00:00:00.000 There's something about business being family owned and fully geared toward the best interests
00:00:05.320 of its customers that has always been incredibly important to Americans and may mean even more
00:00:12.020 coming in the future as we kind of go through a very bumpy period. The world of home loan options
00:00:19.300 isn't always a friendly one and navigating it can be tricky. Not everyone is out to help you.

00:00:33.760 to yours. They've been working for you and not the bank ever since. Whether it's home loans,
00:00:39.040 mortgage refinancing, or other forms of debt consolidation, American Financing has you

00:00:48.080 help get your financial house precisely where it needs to be. The coming months are bound to be
00:00:54.480 interesting, at the very least. So now's the time to get on top of your finances and make sure you're
00:01:01.700 ready for whatever comes. Now's the time for American Financing. Give them a call,
00:01:05.120 800-906-2440. Go to AmericanFinancing.net. I've been working for these guys for a bunch of years. I
00:01:10.720 know a lot of people around here have as well. 1-800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.
00:01:17.720 The radio show starts here in just seconds.
00:01:47.720 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is
00:02:12.360 the Glenn Back program. Today featuring Pat and Stu for Glenn. 888-727-BECK. He'd like to get in touch
00:02:24.500 with us. Some interesting things happening on the climate change front. The big IPCC report coming
00:02:32.500 out next week. It's fascinating. I am pumped. Me too. Really excited about this one. This is the
00:02:39.680 one I think that shows us there's only eight years left and then we're done. You think we have eight
00:02:44.420 full years? I think we're done in eight months. Really? Unless we change. Unless we vote for
00:02:49.760 Democrats in the midterms. Then I think we can stop it. Then we'll be okay. Then we'll be saved.
00:02:53.380 Okay. But that's the only thing that will save us, Pat. Yeah. And there's some people out reminding
00:02:57.300 us in DC about this too. And they're sitting in the middle of the freeway, which is fantastic.
00:03:03.120 We'll show you those boneheads. And much more coming up in 60 seconds.
00:03:11.940 The world of business has gotten harder to exist in, especially for people of integrity. And it's
00:03:16.480 going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Everywhere you look, companies are towing the woke
00:03:20.380 left line. It's because they've been bullied into thinking it's the only way. And when the left
00:03:25.220 bullying sort of leaves off the support of ESG scores and all the other nonsense is taking
00:03:31.140 over, you need to treasure the few businesses that will actually stand for the values you
00:03:35.200 believe in. One of those is Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget and
00:03:39.800 their 100% U.S.-based customer support team gives you amazing personal service. And it's
00:03:43.880 one thing to ask you to support a company that agrees with your values, but you also need
00:03:48.680 to get the best service. And that's what Patriot Mobile can provide at the best prices.
00:03:53.540 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT. You can get free activation with
00:03:59.160 the offer code BECK. Veterans and first responders save even more, so make the switch today.
00:04:03.860 Between the left, the media, and the RINOs, we need to stick together. PatriotMobile.com

00:04:15.640 Patriot Mobile.
00:04:18.440 Welcome, Pat and Stu. Thanks for joining us on the Glenn Beck program.
00:04:22.480 There was a bunch of people that got in the way of traffic again. This is a tactic that
00:04:28.040 I absolutely love. I think it's great that people just sit in the middle of the freeways.
00:04:33.380 You know, isn't that wonderful when they break the law and just show you how committed they
00:04:38.260 are to their cause? And it just makes you friendly toward their cause.
00:04:40.820 Yeah, that's me too. That's exactly how I feel. I always feel like, you know, I wasn't going
00:04:45.480 to support them in their fight against global warming. And then I was like, wait a minute,
00:04:48.860 you've ruined my day. Now I'm going to support you. Now I love your cause.
00:04:52.840 My kid is stranded. I can't pick them up. And they're stranded wherever they are.
00:04:57.980 There's like sitting outside a baseball field somewhere, just sad looking at puppy eyes and
00:05:02.500 waiting for mommy or daddy to show up. And no one's coming because you've blocked my path.
00:05:07.760 I love your cause now.
00:05:09.380 Well, yeah, you wouldn't be so selfish as to say you should be allowed to go through
00:05:13.340 here. Oh, you know, of course not. That would be right. I hope even if you have extenuating
00:05:17.320 circumstances, right? And even if it's really extreme. Yeah. And there's a guy here who is
00:05:22.540 trying to tell him, I've got extenuating circumstances. I could go to jail. Check, check this
00:05:28.100 out. His parole will be revoked if he doesn't make it to his job. And he'll be back in jail.
00:05:46.520 One lane. I'm asking one lane. One lane. Let me just get through here. This is on the beltway
00:05:55.080 in Washington, D.C. My gosh.
00:06:01.720 This poor guy. I mean, God knows what he did, but to be on parole. I mean, maybe he's not
00:06:08.220 the most sympathetic character, but this poor guy just wants to not go back to jail.
00:06:13.300 Yeah. Yeah. But even if. All right. So police show up and do arrest the protesters, but they
00:06:23.820 also arrest him. Right. So that he, it doesn't even work out. He, this is, this is, this is
00:06:29.180 your story of the day as all other stories of the day and in a very sad way. Yep. It's
00:06:35.060 just amazing, Pat. You know, I don't understand it. Like, you know, I, I will say I watch that
00:06:41.780 footage and every time I've watched it, I've watched it several times now. And every time
00:06:44.780 I watch it, I just think to myself, I would not have been able to control myself in that
00:06:48.600 situation. No way. I would not. I would have done something stupid. I'm not on parole.
00:06:52.840 No. You know, and I would have been more pissed than he is. Yeah. I mean, he kind of pushes
00:06:57.960 one of them. That's about as far as he goes. He takes their banners and he pushes one of
00:07:02.540 them. He crumpled them up too. He crumpled up the banners. Some of them. He might have
00:07:07.180 actually destroyed them. There isn't exactly effective in a long line of traffic. Only
00:07:10.200 the first, the first cars are going to see it, you know? Right. Really? They're going
00:07:14.080 to see it and they're going to see it for a very long time. True. But it's not really
00:07:17.780 effective. Here you are, you know, climate change protesters. You're
00:07:22.820 upset about climate change. So you cause thousands of cars to idle on the freeway altogether because
00:07:30.740 that's really good for the environment. So that's a really, it's a good move. It really
00:07:34.780 helps your cause. I don't understand this. First, it's illegal to sit in a roadway like
00:07:40.340 that. You're on the Capitol Beltway, which is one of the busiest freeways in the country,
00:07:46.040 and you're holding up all these people. And I don't care if they are under a time crunch
00:07:50.860 or not. You shouldn't be doing it. And they should be immediately arrested every time this
00:07:55.560 happens or dragged to one side of the road and then traffic just proceeds. You know, this
00:08:02.580 is exactly why a lot of states have passed the law that you can safely or carefully drive
00:08:08.680 through these blockades. Even when they're in the road and they won't move, you can sort of drive
00:08:14.340 through them and not face prosecution. Missouri had a law like that. I think Oklahoma, several other
00:08:20.780 places have proposed legislation and passed legislation that it is not illegal to drive
00:08:27.440 through them. They'll move. Believe me, I think if you start, if you drive through there,
00:08:32.780 are they going to continue to just sit there? Well, maybe? I doubt it. I think my plan would be
00:08:40.260 I would stand up and I would say, guys, what I'm about to do is put my car into drive.
00:08:47.780 Then I'm going to duck my head under the dashboard here, and I'm not going to see what's coming up.
00:08:55.320 I'm going to duck my head and it's going to roll forward. And if you're in front of it,
00:08:59.500 you're going to get hit. I'm not even going to see it happen, but you're going to get hit.
00:09:03.860 That is what is about to occur. Judge your own risk and then start the engine.
00:09:09.940 Well, that's the thing. And then anytime anybody does this and they start to drive slowly through
00:09:15.640 a group like this, they start screaming bloody murder. Like you're trying to literally trying
00:09:21.700 to murder them. I'm sorry. You're the one that's in the road. This is not where you're supposed to be.
00:09:27.080 I don't know if you're aware of that. It's a really terrible tactic. I hate it. It's a terrible
00:09:31.760 tactic and it does nothing for you. Except piss people off. No one is sitting back there and
00:09:39.680 saying, you know what? I've reconsidered my position on fossil fuels. Yeah, because they're
00:09:43.520 sitting in a freeway. It must be really important. It must be really important. I'm not going to do
00:09:47.020 fossil fuels. I remember this happened in Houston when you lived down there. Do you remember this?
00:09:51.420 Yes, I did. Yes, I do remember this. It was the SEIU protest for the janitors who cleaned
00:09:58.020 the buildings downtown. And so the downtown janitors group, I don't remember what they
00:10:05.420 called themselves, but they brought in a bunch of people. That's a good enough name.
00:10:08.100 Yeah, I think it just goes downtown janitors group. I like it.
00:10:11.620 They brought in a ton of people from Chicago, from SEIU headquarters, and then imported the
00:10:16.420 people. Imported them to Houston, and then in big intersections, they would drive into
00:10:23.680 the intersection and then dumped garbage in the middle of it. I guess symbolic that,
00:10:29.260 okay, here's the stuff we cleaned up last night, and now it's in the middle of the road.
00:10:33.020 Without us, this will never get cleaned up! That type of thing.
00:10:35.900 And that did not endear me to their plight. No. I'm telling you.
00:10:40.120 So they would block major intersections with garbage. Yeah, with garbage. Huge piles of it,
00:10:44.280 because they'd dump a whole bunch of it. And then you were like, darn it, give these guys a raise!
00:10:48.460 No? That's not how it happened? No. That is not how it happened.
00:10:51.580 No. No, it tended to upset me, and make me a bit irritable, and not friendly to their cause,
00:10:59.220 actually. So... And out of spite, you just wind up, like, I... Like, if that happened to me,
00:11:04.900 and I'm driving, and I was sitting there in that traffic for all that time, I would,
00:11:09.580 even with the cost of gas being $5 a gallon, intentionally rev my engine at every stoplight
00:11:15.700 for the next month, just to hurt the environment. Now, that might not be sane, and also it doesn't
00:11:21.500 really hurt the environment, but just symbolically to annoy them, I would do it. Yeah.
00:11:26.760 And I would never, I would be much less likely to go along with their cause after that.
00:11:31.180 No question.
00:11:31.940 I wouldn't want to even consider it, because I wouldn't want to reward them.
00:11:34.220 I don't understand how they think that helps. It doesn't.
00:11:38.720 It doesn't. Not to mention that their cause is...
00:11:41.420 Ridiculous.
00:11:42.980 Bat-crap crazy.
00:11:44.140 Yes.
00:11:44.440 It really is. And I'm reading Alex Epstein's new book, great book, Fossil Future, right now,
00:11:50.640 which is about, you know, maybe we should consider, I don't know, using more fossil fuels, not less.
00:11:56.860 Maybe, actually, you know, we'll make the world a lot better if we use more.
00:12:00.280 And he makes the case, and it's, I think it's really hard to pick apart, which is why the left
00:12:05.600 does not engage with it, that, you know, there can occasionally be, you know, some things about
00:12:11.200 fossil fuels that are negative. However, the good totally overwhelms that.
00:12:16.700 Right.
00:12:16.880 And it is a unique ability to create that good. You know, we talk about, okay, well, we can make
00:12:24.920 solar power, we can make wind power, and obviously there's tons of problems with that, and the cost,
00:12:28.800 and all the things that we've talked about a million times. But also, they don't even start
00:12:32.580 to address major portions of the, our energy needs. Really, they just produce electricity.
00:12:41.700 So, like, you know, when you're talking about heavy machinery, how are you getting that done?
00:12:46.000 You know, I know Elon Musk has a couple of prototypes out there for long hauling
00:12:51.120 with electric vehicles. Maybe eventually that comes across. I wouldn't put, I wouldn't put
00:12:56.140 anything past Elon Musk. You know, the guy's pretty smart and seems to be able to accomplish
00:12:59.360 a lot of amazing things, and maybe one day that technology will be real. But as of right
00:13:02.920 now, heavy duty transportation is fossil fuels full stop. There's no way to do it without
00:13:09.400 fossil fuels. You need them. And, and, and he pointed out a prediction that I had forgotten
00:13:16.180 about, Pat. A prediction from Al Gore, and, and a need from, a demand from Al Gore in 2008, I think
00:13:23.220 it was, that we are completely off of fossil fuels by 2018. And I thought, I sat back and I
00:13:33.460 thought, what? So in 10 years, he wanted to be completely off fossil fuels. At no point did he
00:13:38.740 try to get the actual reasoning behind that, or how you would do that. It was obviously impossible.
00:13:44.520 I mean, look at this. We're at a, we've increased our fossil fuel usage since then. And we're not at
00:13:50.580 zero. I will tell you that. And just think of now how absurd it is. I mean, you had, you could have
00:13:56.840 never predicted someone like Elon Musk would come along, right? A guy who was willing to throw vast
00:14:03.680 amounts of his fortune at a problem he really cared about and risk losing billions of dollars, right?
00:14:09.420 He just did it because he really cared about it and was able to innovate faster than any of the
00:14:14.500 these major car companies could. I mean, you could have never predicted or depended on someone
00:14:19.400 like that coming along to advance in electric cars. And even with that advancement, we're
00:14:25.460 still not even remotely close. I think it's 3% of our energy comes from renewable, from solar
00:14:30.560 and wind now. 3%.
00:14:32.300 If you combine solar and wind together. Yeah. I think if you do solar, wind and hydroelectric,
00:14:38.480 it's like 5%. Yeah. And hydro is, you know, again, another thing the left fights against
00:14:43.200 all the time. Yeah. It just seems quite clear. They don't, it's not about the carbon. You know,
00:14:50.600 it's about, there's this idea that you want to sort of de-industrialize this country.
00:14:55.700 Yeah. They fight against hydro and nuclear, which are both clean, renewable sources, and
00:15:01.940 they won't have anything to do with either one of them. You know, and I'm skeptical that
00:15:05.420 solar or wind could ever do the types of things we need for our power supply. Big time skeptical.
00:15:11.000 But even if the technology improved to some level where it was capable of doing a lot more,
00:15:17.880 the left would complain about that too.
00:15:20.580 Did you see the car company in, I don't know, Sweden or Switzerland or somewhere where they
00:15:26.920 have it run on solar power? They built solar panels into the car. It's $245,000.
00:15:37.100 Just the $245,000 though?
00:15:37.940 Just the $245,000.
00:15:39.220 And what's the lease price on that?
00:15:40.660 You know, probably about $80,000 a month.
00:15:46.380 That's not a very good lease. I'm just going to say mathematically.
00:15:48.080 You put $100,000 down and only pay $20,000 a month.
00:15:51.240 Wow.
00:15:51.680 Yeah, it's up to you.
00:15:52.400 I'm in.
00:15:53.020 But not only did it cost an extraordinary amount of money, but it also got you, I believe,
00:16:01.460 40 miles on a charge?
00:16:03.940 Ooh.
00:16:04.440 Yeah.
00:16:05.080 Yeah. So how sweet is that?
00:16:06.920 Very sweet.
00:16:07.760 Okay. So you could almost get to working back one day before you had to fire it back up with
00:16:14.500 the sun that isn't shining by the time you get home, really.
00:16:18.080 And so what do you do with it? It's so impractical. We're just not there. We're not there yet where
00:16:26.020 you can say, all right, let's turn this over and let's cut back on our fossil fuels. And I think
00:16:31.620 you and I both agree that if we were there, I'd be fine with that.
00:16:36.060 I don't have any loyalty to fossil fuels. I don't work for Exxon Mobil.
00:16:41.200 I mean, I do recognize that they've turned, you know, the world into a, we now have like
00:16:46.920 civilization largely because of fossil fuels. So I do give them, I have a lot of affinity
00:16:52.320 for fossil fuels. I don't, I look at them as an overall massively on the positive side of the
00:16:59.060 ledger. And it's not close. However, if some other technology, like nuclear makes an argument here,
00:17:05.680 right? There's a possibility for nuclear, I think, being a real player in the world of
00:17:12.860 especially electricity generation. And I think there's an exciting future there for nuclear.
00:17:18.180 It's, you know, it, but again, it's opposed by the left. It's opposed. They hate it. You can always
00:17:24.520 tell a serious environmentalist from one of these idiots that's going to sit in the middle of a highway
00:17:28.900 when you ask them about nuclear. If they won't embrace nuclear, you know, they're not serious
00:17:33.340 about it. Now you might, I think I could still make the argument that it's not, it should not
00:17:37.580 be our highest priority to go to zero carbon. Like that's not, that doesn't, you know, it's,
00:17:42.960 it's ridiculous. I mean, it's just essentially an another attempt. It's an attempt at man-made
00:17:48.480 climate change. It's like we, you were saying we had man-made climate change. So let's implement
00:17:53.840 another kind of man-made climate change. We'll adjust everything about it and try to change the
00:17:58.640 climate by man again. I mean, this seems to be an idiotic pursuit, but if you're going to go down
00:18:04.640 that road, obviously nuclear would be the way you'd go. And they don't even address it. They
00:18:09.980 don't want anything to do with it. And it shows they're not serious about it. We'll tell you about
00:18:13.560 the IPCC report that's coming out next week as well. Coming up in one minute.
00:18:19.760 American financing NMLS 1-82334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
00:18:25.900 A new report shows that almost 71% of Americans feel their paychecks are not going to be able to
00:18:30.980 keep up with inflation, not just to be able to get ahead, but to just keep up. We all know where
00:18:36.000 this is coming from. The people supposedly fighting inflation are the same ones giving it to us in the
00:18:40.760 first place. You have a responsibility to yourself and your family to do what you can to get ahead
00:18:46.440 while it's still possible to get ahead. This is where American financing comes in. This time,
00:18:51.780 American financing is there with power to maybe help you. Unlike some of the banks,
00:18:57.540 flexible mortgage returns and terms, cash out refinancing, even debt consolidation.
00:19:04.020 Please call them. They don't work for the banks. They work for you. American financing at
00:19:10.100 800-906-2440. 800-906-2440. It's Americanfinancing.net.
00:19:30.760 That and Stu for Glenn today. Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change
00:19:37.320 were urged to cover up the fact that the world's temperature hasn't risen in 15 years.
00:19:44.760 A leaked copy of the UN report compiled by hundreds of scientists shows politicians in Belgium, Germany,
00:19:50.700 Hungary, and the US raise concerns about the final draft. Published next week, it's expected to address
00:19:56.020 the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it,
00:20:02.860 which scientists have so far struggled to explain. Well, sure,
00:20:06.920 because if we're in the middle of global warming, 1998 shouldn't still be the warmest year on record,
00:20:15.020 right? It's been 24 years. We should have exceeded that by now. The report is the result of six years
00:20:22.240 of work by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, which is seen as the world's
00:20:29.920 authority. And this is also supposedly where they said that one of the scientists at the IPCC
00:20:37.180 is the one who supposedly said that we had, I think it was 12 years left at the time. Now it's down to
00:20:43.060 about eight or so. And Michael Schellenberger went to that particular scientist and said,
00:20:50.240 hey, walk me through. Yeah, where are you getting this from? Yeah, the fact that the world's going to
00:20:57.060 end in 12 years. Yeah, I'm really glad you brought that up. I've never said that.
00:21:04.200 It really is amazing. I kind of thought it was an overblown prediction. That's what I thought. Or like
00:21:09.520 it was misinterpreted. No, he just had never said it. Never said it. Never said anything really like it.
00:21:14.380 Right. So this happens all the time. And you might remember the last time they published one of these
00:21:22.780 IPCC reports was 2007. And they did a bunch of covering up then. There was the email thing,
00:21:31.400 the Climategate scandal that happened from that where everybody's trying to keep secrets from the
00:21:39.060 people about what that report actually said. The scientists involved were trying to manipulate
00:21:47.920 their data to make it look more convincing. And they were telling each other that, hey,
00:21:52.840 we got to make this look worse than it actually is so that we can scare people into really caring
00:21:57.540 and doing something about that. You remember that? And that went nowhere. Everybody knows about that.
00:22:02.800 We know what manipulative liars they are. And still, we're supposed to believe everything they say.
00:22:07.960 And what's the point, right? What's the point of fighting off climate change, right? It's to prevent
00:22:12.020 climate-related deaths from happening, right? Right.
00:22:16.840 So what, let me give you two publications. The IPCC report and Glenn Beck's An Inconvenient Book.
00:22:24.920 Okay. Okay. Which publication printed the numbers of climate-related deaths over the past century?
00:22:31.020 Which one? I'm going to say Glenn Beck's An Inconvenient Book.
00:22:36.000 Why? Because they're down 98%, right? If they weren't, if they were up, the IPCC would definitely
00:22:44.360 be putting them in their report. No question.
00:22:46.860 Yet, edition after edition after edition, they don't put that little chart in their book,
00:22:52.900 in their release. Why? It's the most important thing. And the whole point of this is to stop
00:22:58.340 climate-related deaths, yet they avoid it because they're down 98%.
00:23:02.240 Interesting. Hmm. Huh.

00:24:11.060 Glenn Beck. Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth. More Glenn Beck in a moment.
00:24:17.460 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. This new IPCC report is fascinating.
00:24:45.860 Leaked documents seen by the Associated Press yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians
00:24:54.020 about a lack of global warming over the past few years. Germany called for the references of a
00:25:00.260 slowdown in warming to be deleted because it doesn't fit the narrative. Saying looking at a time
00:25:07.540 span of just 10 or 15 years was misleading. They should focus instead on decades or centuries.
00:25:12.580 I don't know if Germany's noticed this, but 15 years is more than a decade. It's a decade and a
00:25:19.400 half. Wait, where's your scientific backup on that? Do you have any evidence that supports that,
00:25:25.820 Pat? I do. Yeah, I do, actually. Really? Yeah, 10 years is a decade. Oh, okay. 15 is more than 10,
00:25:32.100 so that's more than a decade. When you say it that way, it makes sense. Yeah. It does. Yeah,
00:25:37.100 it does. Now that you've explained it. Okay, good. Hungary worried the report would provide
00:25:42.140 ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change. Well, yeah, it's called evidence. That's why
00:25:47.820 they're deniers. That's why, and I don't deny that there's been some warming. I mean, we've always
00:25:53.580 admitted that. Okay, what? 0.9 degrees over a century or whatever it's been? So what? That grows more
00:26:02.480 plants. You grow more food. It's not catastrophic. And this is what's so important, is looking not
00:26:09.660 only at one side of the issue. You do a cost-benefit analysis, right? That is, there's
00:26:17.600 always, the left always wants to do one of the two things. When they're talking about a public policy,
00:26:24.260 they want to spend multiple trillions of dollars on something. It's a benefit analysis. They don't do a
00:26:29.200 cost-benefit analysis. They do a benefit analysis. And they say, well, here, look at this woman who
00:26:33.260 is poor and on the streets, and now she's got X, Y, and Z dollars. And look at this worst-case
00:26:39.300 scenario of this. And they say, okay, here's the benefit of this policy. No one ever considers the
00:26:44.720 cost. And if you ask them about the cost, you're the worst person on earth. And you can't afford not
00:26:49.640 to. That's their thing. And you can't afford not to, of course. They just say it doesn't matter.
00:26:53.280 The cost doesn't matter. We're doing a benefit analysis here. The exact opposite happens with
00:26:57.440 global warming. When they talk about fossil fuels, all they do is a cost analysis.
00:27:01.820 What is the, what are the negative effects of fossil fuels? They'll look through scientific
00:27:05.680 reports. They'll make crap up. They'll do all sorts of stuff to say, okay, this is a negative
00:27:11.440 effect of fossil fuels. What would you look at when you look back at the last century, Pat?
00:27:18.260 All of the things that have occurred. You could go back a century and live that lifestyle or
00:27:23.300 live the one of today. My guess is if you looked over the past century and tried to summarize it,
00:27:28.980 the 0.9 degree temperature rise would be really low on the list. There'd be a lot of other things
00:27:35.240 you'd mention first. You'd go through the development of the internet. You'd go through
00:27:39.460 the mainstreaming of human flight. You'd go through the fact that air conditioning has gone around the
00:27:50.620 world. And now in many places you can actually be comfortable. You can have a civilization in a
00:27:57.120 place like Texas that isn't constantly miserable. Where it's 173 degrees every day. Yeah. And yet
00:28:04.560 somehow we survive here. I burned myself on the back of my, the hood of my car or the trunk of my car
00:28:10.860 when I was trying to open it yesterday. Yeah. It was on my little temperature gauge inside my car.
00:28:15.380 It said 107 the whole way home. And yet all day I was totally comfortable. That is a, that's a,
00:28:23.300 that's a, that is the price or the, the benefit of fossil fuels, civilization, the, the rising of
00:28:31.320 your, um, uh, age expectancy, your life expectancy, the fact that it's gone up so much, a lot of that has
00:28:39.500 to do with fossil fuels, plastics, medicines, all the incredible benefits. And what we, what do we
00:28:45.080 talk about all the time? Only the costs. How is that possible? I, I don't know. And they won't talk
00:28:50.360 about, you know, reasonable alternatives. What they want to do is spend a hundred trillion dollars
00:28:54.620 on technology that doesn't even exist yet. Like wind and solar that just can't get us there. Uh,
00:29:01.480 as we've mentioned many times, it's about 3% of our, of our energy is what it provides 3%. That's after
00:29:09.500 all of the promotion and, you know, multiple decades of funding at 25 to one with subsidies from the U S
00:29:15.840 government over oil. You know, they always talk about all gas and, and oil, uh, receive so much
00:29:22.200 subsidies from the government. It's 25 to one solar and wind to, uh, oil to fossil fuels. Yeah.
00:29:30.820 Especially when you, especially when you break it down by megawatt, right? Like it's, it's a lot,
00:29:36.260 it's a lot of money we throw at this stuff. And, you know, we all know that, right? I mean,
00:29:39.140 when I, I don't think Tesla's currently in this situation anymore, but, um, they were given $7,000
00:29:44.880 a car, right? At the beginning. And I know a lot of other electric cars still have this where you're,
00:29:49.620 you know, the average person who's buying an electric car is, you know, earning six figures. These
00:29:53.740 are expensive vehicles. Yeah. I'll bet the volts still provide you with a little kickback from the
00:29:58.700 government. It's still around. I don't even know. I think
00:30:00.740 it is. It was one of the first attempts at a electric car by a major car company and, you know,
00:30:04.900 was not, didn't go that well loved. No, but like, you know, the fact that you're paying them,
00:30:09.060 the Prius was even an example of this. You're paying thousands of dollars in, in, from the
00:30:13.560 government in tax funding and subsidies and incentives to buy a car that it's going to make
00:30:20.060 look no difference. I mean, you know, absolutely no difference. You know, we, there was a, I remember
00:30:25.860 the stack going back years now, but it was, and I know it's, it's grown probably even worse, but at
00:30:31.060 the time China was building enough, just the, what they, China had planned in the future for coal
00:30:37.940 plants was just coal. It was one type of energy and not what they had already, but just the increase
00:30:43.700 in the amount of coal they were going to burn was the equivalent of 3 billion Ford expeditions,
00:30:50.720 all driven 15,000 miles a year. Oh my gosh. That's more, now that's more, of course, obviously than
00:30:55.800 Ford has ever produced. Wow. And could ever produce. Uh-huh. So it just shows you how meaningless
00:31:02.680 it is to sit here and obsess about, uh, you know, buying an electric car or buying a hybrid. It's just
00:31:10.920 like, it's just not that big of a part of, of the problem. If you actually agree that it is a problem,
00:31:17.720 it's still meaningless in the grand scope of things. And they won't look at an alternative
00:31:22.900 like nuclear, which is renewable and clean. Uh, but of course they're afraid. Um, that's what
00:31:30.880 they say. Anyway, there, you know, there's going to be the China syndrome. Oh yeah. You're going to
00:31:35.080 have a nuclear meltdown like we had at three mile Island, which killed so many people. Zero. Yeah,
00:31:40.560 exactly. Exactly zero. Yeah. But everybody in the area, like in a, in the surrounding area of three
00:31:49.880 mile Island. Right. Yeah. Got the equivalent. There are a lot of people there. The equivalent
00:31:53.100 radiation of a chest X-ray. Well, that was the worst case scenario. Yeah. The worst case scenario.
00:31:57.960 One chest X-ray. One full set of chest X-rays was the worst, the worst effect of anyone when it
00:32:05.340 comes to three mile Island. And how many people have died from one chest X-ray? Probably not that
00:32:10.700 many. Very few. Yeah. Very few. Yeah. That's why the doctors give them to you. But it doesn't
00:32:15.380 normally kill you. I see that you're ignoring, uh, Chernobyl, which killed, uh, 70, 80 million
00:32:21.920 people. It's a hundred million. A shade lower than that, actually. It is? A shade. Yeah. Lower
00:32:27.800 than 70 million? 56. 56. Million. 56 million people. Wow. Still close. Well, not, not exactly
00:32:34.300 56 million. 56. People? Yeah. 56. 56. They do think, now again, put in perspective what
00:32:42.240 Chernobyl was. It was, it had no, it had no rights operating. It was the Soviet Union attempting
00:32:48.580 to, uh, to put together nuclear power. They had no idea what they were doing. They did not
00:32:53.480 fund the, they didn't care about the citizens around there. They didn't, they did everything
00:32:57.400 wrong. A million things went wrong on top of that. Then the Soviet Union didn't tell anyone
00:33:03.900 what was happening. Uh, they didn't protect anyone. They lied. They cut off communications
00:33:09.280 to the area so people couldn't tell anyone what was going on. They did all of these things
00:33:14.640 and still 56 people died. This is according to the UN, by the way. They do believe that
00:33:19.220 it's possible up to a couple thousand could die from long-term cancer risk, though that
00:33:24.040 has not yet occurred, but it could manifest itself. You know, at this point, you had kids
00:33:28.100 drinking milk from radiated cows and goats. Right. And the government didn't tell them
00:33:36.280 anything about it. Now, I don't think that's how we would handle that situation.
00:33:40.600 I don't think so. And of course, the technology is much improved. We, we never utilized technology
00:33:44.740 like the Soviet Union was using there. Right. Um, but still, even with that. No, we had backups
00:33:48.980 and safeguards and all kinds of things that were built into the system. Yes. And even with that,
00:33:54.020 while it was a tragic event and there was heroic people from the Soviet Union that attempted to
00:34:00.500 minimize that and were greeted and thanked for their efforts by being thrown into essentially a
00:34:09.380 sea of nuclear radiation. Most of the people who died from that incident were people who were working
00:34:13.780 there and were trying to stop it. Honestly, legitimately, heroically trying to stop it. Uh,
00:34:19.460 but, uh, you know, come on that, that everybody knows when, especially when you look at the generation
00:34:25.140 of this, you see, uh, that it is the safest form of electricity ever created. I see what you're trying
00:34:32.560 to do here. You're, you're trying to ignore the obvious Fukushima and the tens of thousands of people
00:34:39.380 who died in Fukushima. Well, no, no, nobody died from the Fukushima nuclear part of it, but they died from
00:34:45.440 the, from the tidal wave. Yeah. There was a, uh, tsunami that happened, but, uh, now I will say
00:34:51.080 this to be fair here. Okay. A tsunami happened, right? Lots of people died. Yeah. The nuclear
00:34:57.300 incident, the meltdown, uh, the risks of that going on went on and it was very scary. And so the
00:35:03.560 government did what they had to do and they evacuated a lot of people from that area to protect
00:35:08.500 them. I will say far more people died in the evacuation efforts than died from the nuclear
00:35:14.200 radiation. In fact, nobody died from the nuclear radiation. It's incredible, isn't it? Yeah. And
00:35:18.940 the way this, these, all three of those incidents have been spun, it's like, you know, they were the
00:35:24.960 worst catastrophes. Some of the worst catastrophes, catastrophes mankind's ever seen. Yeah. And it's
00:35:30.160 just not so. And Chernobyl was legitimately really bad. Chernobyl was bad. Uh, but again, nothing on the
00:35:34.560 scope. But like you said, the Russians had no safeguards. They didn't build it right. China built a dam.
00:35:40.140 Okay. This is hydroelectric power. They built a dam. The dam collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people
00:35:47.600 died. One dam. Hundreds of thousands of people died. When one dam failed, it wiped out just an
00:35:59.380 entire valley of people. Was that the one that was so big it caused a wobble in the rotation of the earth?
00:36:05.580 That's a different one. Uh, that's a different one. That one did not, that one did not collapse.
00:36:10.400 That one still stands. Okay. Um, but that one's really, really big. But again, like, you know,
00:36:14.580 that's just one thing, obviously coal mining. We all know the dangers there over a long period of
00:36:19.360 time, tons and tons and tons and tons of people have died. Yes. Uh, working there. There's risks,
00:36:24.220 uh, drilling for oil, oil, black lung comes to mind. Yeah. There's not desirable, you know,
00:36:29.860 and that's, that's not to say, you know, that you stop, you know, uh, mining for coal, but it just has
00:36:36.340 risks. Nuclear power has killed comparatively incredibly few people. It's, it's, it is absolutely
00:36:44.420 the most safe form of electricity generation that we have ever contemplated as human beings.
00:36:50.380 It is that far. And you know, the left doesn't care about that. They don't care that it's carbon
00:36:57.200 neutral. It does not emit any CO2. They don't care about any of that. They don't care that you're
00:37:01.860 paying all this money for electricity right now, when there is a potential source of energy that is
00:37:07.360 limitless and it's available right now. And not to mention, we don't even use the updated technology.
00:37:14.980 All of the innovation that's happened in the past 40 and 50 years isn't even utilized because
00:37:19.460 the left has stopped all these new plants from being built. It is a disgrace, especially when
00:37:26.520 you have multiple billion people on this, in this country, or excuse me, in this world that don't
00:37:32.280 really have access to energy at all. How can we not be innovating in these areas? It's really,
00:37:37.680 it really is a crime against humanity. And to top it off, when the IPCC report comes out next week,
00:37:44.620 I bet they don't, there's no mention of the fact that the temperature has not risen in the last 15
00:37:48.900 years. No mention of it. 888-727-BECK. More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up.
00:37:54.540 The Glenn Back Program. Miss a day, miss a lot. Visit blazetv.com today and never miss a moment of truth.
00:38:02.560 Life is about being active. Whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising, you know
00:38:20.660 you're well when you're regularly active. But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end
00:38:26.300 of the day? This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago. Everything I wanted to do in
00:38:31.420 my daily life. All of the activity it called for was held captive to almost constant nagging pain.
00:38:38.220 When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance. Not long after
00:38:43.260 I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since. And I can tell
00:38:48.680 you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed
00:38:53.880 by doctors. And about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Your first step to becoming
00:38:59.460 pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start for only $19.95. Go to ReliefFactor.com

00:39:14.400 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. 888-727-BECK. I couldn't help but
00:39:33.900 notice you're wearing the 624-22 t-shirt today. I am. Proudly displaying it. Do you know what
00:39:39.920 happened on 624-22? Man, I just can't remember. It was so low. What was it? You might not be able
00:39:47.360 to remember, Pat, but some day, which was the day that the Supreme Court decision came down
00:39:51.620 overturning Roe versus Wade and implementing just a touch of sanity in this country when it comes to
00:40:00.620 the issue of life. If you want to get a shirt that's, you know, or we also have mugs and hats
00:40:06.180 and stickers and such, but... All with the 624-22 on. Yeah. A little American flag. Yeah. It's a cool,
00:40:11.980 it's a cool shirt, cool look. It's simple. It's, uh, it's, I, and that's how I like them. Yeah,
00:40:17.320 me too. So I can't, yeah. It's at StuDoesMerch.com, by the way. StuDoesMerch.com. Uh, part of the
00:40:23.180 StuDoesAmerica merch line, of course. You can use the code Stu10 if you want to save 10%
00:40:26.960 right now, but, uh, I don't know, man. I, I feel like it's, we're at that point where
00:40:32.900 people are going to forget. They want you to remember January 6th. That's for sure. Everyone
00:40:38.000 knows that date. Oh yeah. Never be able to get rid of that date. Stu, that was the day that
00:40:42.160 democracy almost died. It was on the, it was almost killed that day. So of course we remember J6.
00:40:51.480 Do we live in a democracy? No, no, we do not. So I don't know how big a deal it would have been
00:40:56.840 here, but, uh, democracy almost died that day. Wow. Now that's very, very, very important. I'm
00:41:01.740 going to say that, I don't know, but the life and death of 65 million people is, is now this
00:41:07.140 is going to be a slightly higher priority. So there's two things. They're close, but one
00:41:12.760 is just inching out the other and you have the three hour delay on that vote. Yeah. Being
00:41:18.700 the January 6th situation that's a little lower than the tens of millions. 63 million babies
00:41:24.580 being killed. Yeah. Yeah. Look, it's again, it's a tough call. Interesting. It's interesting.
00:41:29.680 You feel that way. That's well, again, I'm not a woman, whatever and women's rights. If
00:41:34.500 well, I could identify that way, I suppose, and get those rights, but right now I don't
00:41:37.800 have those rights. So therefore I can't really, you're not a woman. Cause I couldn't tell
00:41:42.580 I'm not a biologist. So I didn't, I didn't know, but you're saying a biologist could tell
00:41:47.820 well, wow. What a jerk. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:42:06.920 I love my dog. I'm sure you love yours as well. So we have that in common and I will bet we have
00:42:12.020 something else in common when it comes to our dogs, because we love them. We want them to eat
00:42:17.000 in a way that is going to contribute to their overall health and happiness, maybe extend
00:42:21.500 their life a little bit. A few years ago, I discovered that rough greens did that for
00:42:25.560 my dog. I mean, president miles. There's just, I mean, I love the guy. He's my dog. He's 17
00:42:30.840 by all appearances. It does not look like he should still be alive. He's very old. He moves
00:42:36.260 very slowly at this point, but he can get, I'll tell you this, you sprinkle that rough greens
00:42:41.120 on his food. He gets up no problem. And he makes it over to that bowl. Uh, it's important
00:42:45.520 now Joe Biden, uh, and president miles. First of all, president miles is, is, uh, younger
00:42:51.780 and a more coherent than our president right now. But I will tell you this, uh, rough greens
00:42:56.940 is helping that scenario. Maybe we should feed Joe Biden rough greens. Just a, just an idea.
00:43:00.920 Rough greens isn't a dog food. It's a supplement you sprinkle on top of that dog food. And it's
00:43:04.960 filled with the vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, all the things your
00:43:08.300 dog needs to be healthier. Uh, dogs absolutely love it. That's the most important thing. You can
00:43:12.520 get a free bag of rough greens right now for your dog to try out. All you do is pay shipping,

00:45:41.920 So we found out something else about Uvalde and it just, it gets more incomprehensible every single
00:45:48.820 time. Really. Apparently an officer had the shooter in his sights and couldn't get the okay to
00:45:55.060 fire. I didn't realize we had rules of engagement like that for police officers. When you see somebody
00:46:01.620 who has a rifle heading into an elementary school, it seems like you take the shot, doesn't it?
00:46:09.000 Well, especially after the guy's already shot at people. Right. You know, yes, that's true.
00:46:14.300 Because he had taken random shots at people outside the school. Yeah, he came, he got in the car
00:46:18.760 accident, he got out, people ran over to help him and he started shooting at them. That's how this
00:46:23.260 whole thing started. So he'd already fired the weapon multiple times and you're right. I don't
00:46:28.960 understand why you would need approval over something like that. Could have been shot before
00:46:32.240 he enters the building and avoid all of this tragedy. It really is. It's just, it's sickening.
00:46:39.620 I don't understand how each of these things happened along the way from law enforcement. You know,
00:46:46.400 we're huge supporters of law enforcement. 100%. Yeah. 100%. I mean, I, the, the, but this is
00:46:53.340 incomprehensible. It is incomprehensible. It does seem like it's going down. Every single decision that
00:46:59.000 was made seems to get, was, you know, worse and worse. And there's all sorts of miscommunication.
00:47:03.640 They, they think that maybe the request wasn't heard. I didn't hear it. Seems really strange.
00:47:10.280 Yeah. All this stuff seems difficult to understand or believe. And the fact that they spent multiple
00:47:15.720 days saying how great they were is really a frustrating part of this, right? The initial
00:47:20.560 response. I mean, they told the governor here, Greg Abbott, Hey, these guys are heroes. They're
00:47:25.600 fantastic. You got to praise him. And he comes out in the first press conference.
00:47:28.840 And does that basically. He's like, Hey, it looks like they, they really minimize this.
00:47:33.280 And now he's furious about it because you know, what he was told was completely untrue.
00:47:38.060 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The opening press conference was really inaccurate. Yeah. I mean, I don't
00:47:44.260 think it was his fault. No, it wasn't. But Greg Abbott's fault. Yeah. It's just that they
00:47:50.180 didn't do anything right. It seems. I mean, everything they could have done, they didn't
00:47:54.000 do. Uh, and I mean, this was completely avoidable. Yeah, I guess, you know, I guess
00:48:02.540 you're right. I think it's really hard to stop these things. And I think the idea that
00:48:07.640 you can compass common sense gun legislation and you're going to stop mass shootings is
00:48:12.660 idiotic. Right. It is, it is, it is, it's almost incomprehensive, incomprehensible how dumb it
00:48:21.580 is. It's, it doesn't make any sense. Even if you passed, even if you pass common sense
00:48:26.820 gun reform and you were right that the reason why they, the reason why these things happen
00:48:33.600 is because there's so many guns in this country. Now, none of this is actually true, but even
00:48:36.680 if you did it, all you'd be doing is slowing the new purchases of firearms. There'd still
00:48:41.520 be all these guns out there. So, and you probably honestly wouldn't slow the purchase of new
00:48:48.360 firearms. What happened when they banned AR-15s and, and quote unquote, assault rifles back
00:48:54.140 in the day, which was 94 to 2004, if I'm not mistaken. Um, what, what wound up happening
00:49:00.000 was of course, no effect on homicide rates as the reports from the government clearly stated,
00:49:04.360 there was no effect. They, what they did see is a few, uh, shootings that may have occurred
00:49:11.240 with assault rifles, quote unquote, uh, wound up happening with handguns. So that was the
00:49:17.460 big savings there. You wound up getting shot by a handgun instead of an AR-15 and you wound
00:49:22.100 up dying anyway. That was essentially what the government found. If there was any effect
00:49:26.980 at all, they said it was almost impossible to detect any effect whatsoever.
00:49:30.300 Well, wait a minute, but you're talking about an AR-15, which was created for the sole purpose
00:49:34.700 of killing people as opposed to a handgun, which was created for, yes.
00:49:40.300 Yes. Massage.
00:49:41.280 Or doorstops.
00:49:42.840 A lot of, a lot of the handguns are used as a doorstop.
00:49:46.080 That's the main creation.
00:49:47.460 Right.
00:49:48.100 The main reason for their use.
00:49:49.100 But what happened was, Pat, and this, this makes a lot of sense. Let's say you got a
00:49:53.560 couple thousand dollars you're running and wanting to drop on an AR-15 and let's say they
00:49:58.140 get banned. You can't buy an AR-15 for $2,000. What are you going to do with that 2K? My guess
00:50:03.680 is you're going to buy two, three, four handguns. How many guns are you going to buy for that
00:50:08.740 2K? You're going to wind up spending, and that's what happened. Of course, the amount of guns
00:50:13.160 in the country increased dramatically over this period where they banned AR-15s. It's
00:50:19.500 just, this stuff doesn't make any sense. And you look how impossible it is to stop these
00:50:25.480 events. Here's Illinois with all these, the gun, anti-gun utopia of Illinois, where they've
00:50:32.980 passed every one of these laws. They first tried to come out and do what they always do.
00:50:37.940 Well, other states nearby have loose gun laws. And a lot of times we don't have any evidence to
00:50:45.700 back this up, but a lot of times people are buying them in like Indiana and coming across the border
00:50:51.720 with them. And then they're committing their crimes because that's what gang members do all
00:50:55.440 the time, Pat. They go, you know, guys, let's drive to Indiana to acquire some weapons. Let's not
00:51:01.420 take them in criminal actions or borrow them from other criminals. Let's go to a real gun store in
00:51:07.220 Indiana and get our background checked because that's going to really be helpful. That's not
00:51:10.960 what happens. And they tried that initially. Then they found out, ah, crap, he bought it in
00:51:14.900 Illinois. So they bought all these guns in Illinois. He was over 21. I think he actually,
00:51:23.220 I think he purchased it technically before he turned 21, but he could have purchased it
00:51:28.000 because he was, I think he was above, you know, he was past the age. He could have bought it 21.
00:51:32.920 Even if you changed the limits, he still would have been able to acquire these weapons. And
00:51:36.760 he went through this whole process. He, they had the red flag opportunities. Everything
00:51:43.360 was there. All the, all the tools you could have possibly needed. And still he bought these
00:51:48.200 guns and still he did these things. In the Uvalde situation, you can't, I don't think you
00:51:53.640 can stop him from going to that school with that gun. It's, it's just really difficult to
00:52:01.720 do this. As I pointed out the other day, there's 150,000 schools in this country, 150,000 of
00:52:07.120 them. They all go to school 180 days a year. Hundreds of students go to each one. It's really
00:52:14.580 difficult to pick up that one kid who's going to do something like this. But when the police
00:52:20.400 happen to be there and they happen to have a scope pointed at the guy with the gun in the
00:52:28.620 sites about to walk into the school, yes, you could have prevented this one. Pull the
00:52:32.940 trigger and do it. And you know what? No one's going, you know, that I think they're aware
00:52:38.020 that they're, they're terrified, right? Every time they shoot, uh, every time they take the
00:52:44.080 wrong action, if God forbid, they make a mistake, God forbid, they do something that's not so crystal
00:52:50.240 clear. We see what happened. Uh, the other day, the other shooting that we talked about with
00:52:55.720 police where they shot a guy who had fired their weapon at them while out of a moving
00:53:01.020 car and everyone's in the street protesting the cops over it. Yeah. So I can understand
00:53:08.220 why they're hesitant, but in this situation, it seemed like they should have done the right
00:53:12.060 thing. But the guy goes in, there were so many opportunities, you know, the door to the
00:53:17.800 classroom he was in wasn't even locked. We find out that information because initially
00:53:23.840 we thought it was locked. And so they tried the door handle and it was locked and they
00:53:27.780 couldn't get in. And so they couldn't figure out how to get in. Do I break it down with a
00:53:33.060 battering ram? Do I get a key from a janitor? And in fact that we heard he, they got a key
00:53:39.080 from a janitor. No, they didn't even need one. It was open. That's what's so shady about this.
00:53:43.800 Look, the police look, obviously understood a lot went wrong here immediately. And instead of
00:53:49.900 taking responsibility for it and saying, and I think there were officers that are,
00:53:55.200 we're going to find out, did do the right thing here and say to the media, hey guys,
00:54:00.500 what they're telling you is not true. I think we're going to find out there, there were some
00:54:04.180 real heroes in that, in that group that, that wound up going to the media behind the scenes and
00:54:10.240 telling them what really went on here. Because I think the leadership there decided,
00:54:16.060 how do we cover this? How do we, how do we make this look like it was not as bad as it was?
00:54:21.980 And you know, in the moment you can understand some of the decisions you can kind of
00:54:26.040 come up with some rationale for. I don't understand what the rationale for though is for some,
00:54:32.040 for an officer to have to ask permission to take that shot. Bizarre. That's incomprehensible.
00:54:36.800 It's really bizarre. On the other hand, we have this situation where a hero citizen
00:54:42.600 actually saw something and said something like we're always told to do. And it prevented
00:54:47.900 another tragedy on the 4th of July. It's just so weird that there were these
00:54:52.260 two would-be attackers that were planning another massacre in Richmond, Virginia. But fortunately,
00:55:02.600 there was a resident who overheard a conversation between the two of them,
00:55:06.800 went to police and police were able to apprehend the two men who had two rifles,
00:55:13.100 a handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition. So who knows how big a tragedy that could have
00:55:21.180 happened. And yet it was prevented.
00:55:26.020 The sad truth about this is that is just really hard to do.
00:55:30.960 It is hard.
00:55:31.400 Think of what are the odds of them, you know, this one person overhearing this conversation
00:55:34.660 and thankfully coming forward with that information.
00:55:37.420 But it's really, really, really hard to prevent this stuff. You know, if you're going to have
00:55:43.120 gatherings of people, there's always going to be some psycho that is out there trying to do
00:55:48.480 something bad. And the good thing is there's not a lot of them. But the bad thing about there
00:55:53.620 not being a lot of them is it's really hard to make a difference. It's hard to minimize these
00:55:58.580 things. It really is. You could do your best to try to to go after, you know, these people when
00:56:05.580 you hear these rumors of when they're making videos about potential threats and and fetishizing
00:56:13.800 shooters and things like this. We've seen this trail of behavior. But like we also live in a
00:56:19.500 country and this is a good thing that does not just arrest people when they say things that sound
00:56:24.480 bad. You know, we live in a country where we don't go. We're not supposed to go through
00:56:30.260 everybody's private communications and and arrest them all their bad things and arrest them before
00:56:36.240 they've committed crimes. Yeah, it's just not you know, I don't know if there's a if there's a level
00:56:40.720 of, you know, I don't know what the answer is here, honestly, because it's such this is the this is
00:56:47.060 the thing that the media doesn't want to admit. The reason why it's really difficult to deal with is
00:56:50.360 because it's a really small problem. I know it feels like it's a big problem. We talked about
00:56:55.060 this the other day off the air, Pat. We went through there. They say, what are those three
00:56:57.800 hundred and nine mass shootings or something? Big headline on Drudge three. The fourth of July
00:57:02.720 shooting was the nation's three hundred and ninth. Now, I don't need to convince you that that's
00:57:08.800 nonsense because, you know, it's nonsense. There have not been three hundred and nine mass shootings
00:57:12.920 unless you can you consider every you come up with the most ridiculous wide definition. We all know
00:57:18.300 what mass shootings are when we say it. It comes from the nonprofit gun violence archives. Right.
00:57:24.120 So you're saying that's inaccurate? I am going to say that that is
00:57:27.120 not necessarily that they're people get shot in gangs all the time. And if you shoot two people in a
00:57:34.140 gang, they count it, you know, as a mass shooting. That's not what we're talking about. Right. We know
00:57:38.620 what a mass shooting is. This crime of spectacle. Right. This thing where you're going out trying to get
00:57:43.140 attention, trying to kill as many people as possible randomly. Usually we count three of them
00:57:47.620 this year. Yeah. Not three hundred and nine. Three. Three. Three. And by the way,
00:57:51.700 they've all happened in the past seven weeks. So it's really on our minds right now. But this
00:57:55.500 entire year, there have been three what I would consider the traditional definition of a mass
00:58:02.300 shooting. That's Uvalde is the July 4th and Buffalo. Right. Those three, I think, really do qualify.
00:58:09.960 Like, for example, the next on the list for the amount of people dead was a terrible,
00:58:16.900 terrible story. But you tell me if this fits your definition of a mass shooting. A guy is in
00:58:23.220 prison. He escapes prison, acquires a gun, goes to a campsite where a family is camping and kills
00:58:31.640 everybody in the family at a campsite. Now, an escaped prisoner, I mean, terrible, unthinkable
00:58:39.260 tragedy as this. I think it was the grandfather of these kids was just out there like trying to
00:58:44.540 have a great weekend with his kids camping alone in the middle of the wilderness and gets, you know,
00:58:50.860 really sad and gets killed. That's not that's not what we would consider a mass shooting.
00:58:55.020 No, it's an escaped prisoner. Like, how do you blame gun laws for that one? I believe he was not
00:59:01.520 able to own a gun in prison. So I don't think any anything would have been prevented by common
00:59:06.320 sense gun reform on that one. You know, a lot of this stuff is there's another a shootout between
00:59:12.620 two gangs in the middle of the inner city. Again, not at all what we would think about when we think
00:59:17.960 of a mass shooting. By that definition, there have been three of them this year. Three is more than
00:59:23.720 zero, which is the goal. But stopping three incidents make in a country of 330 million people.
00:59:31.920 Man, that is a tough, tough task. It is. And you're talking about a few dozen people every year die
00:59:41.320 from these mass shootings. That is terrible. And we want it to be zero. But like, it is really hard
00:59:48.380 in a country of 330 million people to take 30, 30 deaths and turn it to zero. That's a very difficult
00:59:54.700 task. 888-727-BECK. More patents too for Glenn coming up. If you're living with aches and pains,
01:00:01.540 especially if they're frequent and nagging and relentless, I want you to take a moment and think
01:00:05.760 back to the last time you really felt good. Can you even remember what it felt like? Now,
01:00:10.700 here's even a more important question. What would you give to go back to feeling like that again?
01:00:15.520 Maybe it would just be nice to take a stroll with your loved one or play with your grandchildren.
01:00:19.260 I've suffered from persistent, crippling pain almost all the time for about five years. When I
01:00:24.920 started taking Relief Factor, I took it because my wife made me start taking it. I didn't think it
01:00:29.280 would work for me. Yet here I am today, virtually pain-free, doing the things I love to do, all
01:00:34.400 thanks to my wonderful wife and Relief Factor. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by
01:00:39.320 doctors and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Are you part of that 70% that can
01:00:44.900 get your life back? Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be to order the
01:00:49.080 three-week quick start for only $19.95. Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

01:00:59.920 So what the Biden administration would say about what you just said, that it's really hard to
01:01:18.760 stop all shootings in this country.
01:01:21.220 So you're willing to accept the fact that this is just going to happen?
01:01:26.240 No, I am not willing to accept it. I want to take lots of actions to stop it. But I think
01:01:31.460 like if you were to say, what should we try to prevent to make the most difference? You would
01:01:37.960 not focus on mass shootings. It just, taking 30 deaths, like, I don't know how many people die
01:01:44.760 from the most, you know, die from, you know, uh, falling off their bed every year from, from, you
01:01:52.520 know, drowning in a pool every year. Like all of those things you want to prevent, but they're very
01:01:56.820 hard to get to zero. It's very difficult to get those things to zero in a country. And if like, if
01:02:03.000 you like, to me, I think that the number one thing, if we were going to focus on gun violence to
01:02:08.240 actually make a difference, the number one thing we should focus on is suicide. It's half of gun
01:02:14.680 deaths. Many, many of them are preventable deaths that are caused by people against themselves,
01:02:24.820 obviously, but are surrounded by people who love them and want to prevent it, like actually want
01:02:29.900 it to stop. There are some that, you know, you're people living alone that they're going to do their
01:02:34.020 thing and it's going to be really hard to stop those. But, you know, you think of like a child who's,
01:02:37.780 you know, 18 years old, 17, 16 years old, going through a tough time, you know, not putting
01:02:42.100 into perspective that high school means nothing and, uh, and maybe tortured by their everyday life
01:02:48.960 and their parents love them and don't know what to do. And like, those things are going to be hard
01:02:53.900 to prevent too. But like those types of things are, you could, if you could shave 10% off of suicides
01:03:02.840 in this country, it would do much more difference than eliminating all mass shootings.
01:03:08.600 Hmm. Numbers wise, it's not even remotely close. Yeah. Cause it's in the thousands. Oh yeah. I mean,
01:03:15.840 what is tens of thousands even? Yeah. Tens of thousands of total gun deaths. So, I mean,
01:03:19.880 suicides per year by gun is, you know, it's about half that number. So, I mean, you could,
01:03:25.420 if you could just trim a little bit off of that, it would be statistically much better than eliminating
01:03:31.740 all mass shootings. Now, look, the mass shooting thing is real. There's a psych, psychological issue
01:03:37.540 that goes along with it. We're like, you know, a lot of people will be terrified to go to the next
01:03:41.960 parade because of what they saw on television. Part of this is the media constantly talking about this
01:03:49.440 stuff and glorifying it and, and, and giving these people what they want. So, they try for these
01:03:54.240 attention getting crimes over and over again. But generally speaking, your best defense against
01:04:00.420 mass shooting is not common sense gun reform. It's the odds. The odds are, it's almost impossible.
01:04:08.420 If you went to a festival every day for the rest of your life, you almost definitely would not be at
01:04:14.200 one where anything like this happened. That's just the bottom line is it's, I mean, the people that it
01:04:19.480 happens to are not, they don't feel any better by hearing that, right? When it does happen to you,
01:04:26.120 it does happen to you. And, and that, you do everything you can to try to stop it. But it's
01:04:30.660 like, the odds of it happening are so incredibly low. It's almost impossible to believe you'll ever
01:04:39.180 be involved in something like this. And you hear that from every one of the people that it happens
01:04:42.980 to. Like, I never thought it would happen to me. Well, that's probably the right position,
01:04:46.240 honestly. That doesn't mean you don't take any precautions. It doesn't mean we don't try to
01:04:49.260 stop the people, but you probably should live your life as if it's never going to happen to
01:04:53.640 you. It's probably the best way to live your life. Because it's almost certainly not going to.
01:04:57.020 Right. So, yeah, absolutely. 888-727-BECK. Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:05:09.660 These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything, especially when you're online.
01:05:14.840 But with all that information just floating out there, it can make the internet a practical gold
01:05:20.680 mine for identity thieves. Actually, that's not fair to gold miners. Mining is actually hard work.
01:05:26.820 Stealing your identity is dangerously easy. It's also incredibly costly and terribly frustrating if
01:05:34.280 you get hacked. Now is an easy time to join up with LifeLock and help protect yourself with

01:06:09.600 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. WNBA star Brittany Greiner pleaded guilty today in a Russian
01:06:39.180 court to drug charges that carry up to 10 years in prison, according to Reuters and a Russian state
01:06:46.920 media report. Now, because here's what she's accused of. Hashish oil in her luggage. In her vape
01:06:55.580 cartridges. Okay, that's a 10-year prison problem? In Russia. No. In Russia, I guess. Does she really
01:07:07.720 have it in her suitcase? I don't know. I don't know. Certainly, my first instinct is to believe
01:07:12.240 that the Russian government just... They were retaliated against us. They retaliated. That's
01:07:17.260 what angry at us. Felt like in the beginning. And we've seen that happen, obviously, many times over
01:07:21.560 the years. Her statement was interesting. She said, I'd like to plead guilty, Your Honor, but there was
01:07:26.020 no intent. I didn't want to break the law, she said in court. So, it makes me think that maybe
01:07:31.520 she either didn't realize that it was illegal and she actually did have it, or, you know, it could
01:07:37.900 just be that's her excuse. There's some speculation that this is a precursor to a deal being made with
01:07:44.960 America that she will be released, but she needs to plead guilty first. I hope that's true. Yeah.
01:07:50.340 Maybe that is the deal they made. She also said, I'd like to give my testimony later. I need time to
01:07:55.860 prepare. Well, you've had like three months. Have you not? It seems like the one thing she would
01:08:01.840 have time is to prepare her testimony. Yeah. But it's, you know, she needs to be brought back to
01:08:08.160 the United States. And I can't believe they'd let this linger all this time. Again, if Donald Trump
01:08:14.540 were in office, I don't think this would be an issue. I think she'd be here by now. She would
01:08:19.440 have been here a long time ago. Honestly, the war probably doesn't start. So, we can reverse a lot of
01:08:25.220 the negative effects we've seen over the past few months. Yeah. But I think it's funny because
01:08:30.940 the media is like, well, you know, if this was Tom Brady, then we'd really be upset about it. And
01:08:38.120 you know what? It would be, first of all, if it was Tom Brady, specifically Tom Brady as an Eagles
01:08:43.460 fan, I don't know how upset I would be, but, uh, but it would be a much bigger deal, but it would be,
01:08:49.580 it's true. It would be a huge deal. If it was LeBron James, it'd be a much bigger deal. It's not my
01:08:54.420 favorite example either. I know. I would, how about this? Uh, Kevin Durant. Okay. He seems to be
01:08:59.240 great. And I like Kevin Durant. So, there you go. Kevin Durant. Uh, Steph Curry. Steph Curry. If
01:09:04.380 Steph Curry was over there, it would be a long time ago. The biggest international incident in the
01:09:10.340 world. And the, of course, the, the, the implied thing there is that we care about men and we don't
01:09:16.060 care about women. No, we care about people who are super famous. If it was Serena Williams, I think
01:09:20.940 people would be more up in arms, right? Like it would be a huge, huge deal. Not that many people
01:09:26.200 know who Brittany Griner is. I mean, she's a famous female basketball player, but I don't know who the
01:09:31.960 best Pinochle player is in the United States. And if it was the most famous Pinochle player in the
01:09:37.780 United States, I don't. Are you comparing women's N, WNBA basketball to Pinochle? I know it's unfair to
01:09:47.880 the Pinochle people. I'm just trying to come up with some, some, you know, like, I, I don't know
01:09:53.080 what, what the best lacrosse player in the country. I don't, I don't follow lacrosse at all. I had
01:09:57.300 heard Brittany Griner's name and I don't even know why. I think it was she like one of the first
01:10:01.280 people who maybe dunked in the WNBA. Maybe, maybe I saw it. She's very tall. I don't even know why I
01:10:07.520 know her name. I don't watch WNBA basketball. I don't care about WNBA basketball. And that's why
01:10:12.940 people aren't as up in arms as if it was Tom Brady or LeBron James or Steph Curry. That's why.
01:10:18.260 Yeah. It's not because it's a, it's a woman. It's, it's, that's just a ridiculous, it's,
01:10:23.280 it's just because people don't really follow it and don't really know who she is. That's why.
01:10:26.740 It's interesting that she wrote a letter to Biden earlier this week, urging his administration to
01:10:31.900 help her and other American detainees. She said, I realize she's cutting him some slack here,
01:10:37.840 which he doesn't deserve. No. I realize you're dealing with so much, but please don't forget
01:10:44.300 about me and the other American detainees. Please do all you can do to bring us home. If this was
01:10:49.940 Trump and he had ignored this situation like Biden has, oh my gosh, that would not have been the tenor
01:10:57.620 of, or the tone of her letter. And she brings up, I think, a really important point here, which is
01:11:03.700 we know her name, but there are other American detainees and we don't know their name. And
01:11:08.080 what's the, what's the reason for that is because she's famous and they're not right. Yes. We should
01:11:13.500 be fighting for Brittany Griner to come by back because she's an American citizen and particularly
01:11:18.740 assuming if she didn't do this, but even if she did, it does seem like pretty clear retaliation at
01:11:24.040 some level. We should be trying to get her home because we care about American citizens, whether
01:11:28.100 they're famous or not. It's got nothing to do with whether she's a good basketball player or whether,
01:11:32.020 you know, what if she was the worst player in the WNBA that happened to be over there? We should
01:11:36.220 still be trying. It's got nothing to do with her being a celebrity. If she worked at Walmart as a
01:11:40.880 greeter, we should be fighting to get her out. And many of these other people that are detained
01:11:44.580 are those, those types of people. I mean, we just got one, one, one of them back, uh, relatively
01:11:49.900 recently in a, in a swap. And like, we should be always working on that. And I will say that was one
01:11:57.020 thing that Trump focused a lot of his attention on him. He was, he was working that, the, those back
01:12:01.960 channels a lot and was successful and getting a lot of people who we kind of had left for dead, I
01:12:07.920 think as a society, it just for that, we're never going to get them back and was able to get a bunch
01:12:12.800 of them. I mean, we, the North Korean, uh, situation was, was a big example of that, but it happened
01:12:17.640 multiple times during his presidency. He spent a lot of time thinking about that. And I think that's part of
01:12:22.820 the reason why, if you want to believe the best motivations here, it's part of the reason why the
01:12:27.100 media hasn't gone too, too crazy on this and that you don't, the best thing might not be everybody
01:12:35.100 constantly talking about her being over there for the back channel stuff to work. My guess is there
01:12:40.960 are diplomats trying to make this happen. I don't think Biden's done a good job with this or anything
01:12:45.780 else, but I'm sure there are, there are efforts going on to try to make this situation go away.
01:12:50.460 And it may come to a good resolution here at some point, but like constantly focusing attention on
01:12:57.980 it is probably pretty good for the unknown detaining. It might not be so good for a well-known detaining.
01:13:06.580 If you're caught with hashish oil at DFW, uh, what do you think the penalty would be? I mean,
01:13:13.740 would they, you probably, you might get arrested. Yeah. It'd be a federal drug crime, right?
01:13:18.180 $500 fine and they'd tell you to go home. Maybe. I mean, you might, you might, maybe, I mean, you
01:13:24.580 know, airports are always weird, right? Like 10 year sentence. Like if you are in a, in line at a
01:13:30.480 concert and you make some joke about the security, right? Yeah. The security guard is going to be
01:13:36.220 like, dude, that's not funny. Or, all right, all right, enough, enough, right? That's the end of it.
01:13:41.280 If you're doing it at an airport, we all know you're probably going to be there for the next six hours
01:13:46.100 in the back room and probably going to jail. Yes. So, I mean, I, when you, when it comes to
01:13:50.500 airports, people are a little, you really shouldn't bring drugs through airports. That's a little
01:13:54.980 safety tip for the audience. Oh, really? Yeah. If you, so it's your recommendation to leave the
01:14:00.220 hashish oil at home. That's not exactly my recommendation, Pat. I, I might, I might recommend
01:14:06.060 and this is, I don't want to be judgmental here. You don't acquire the hashish oil. Oh, at all?
01:14:11.680 At any point. At all? Yes. Like just live your life hashish free. Wow. That's, that would
01:14:18.740 be my, my generalized recommendation. But if you. What about Coke, toot, nose candy? That's
01:14:23.180 totally fine. Totally fine. You know it's fine. Don't, don't try to, that's totally fine.
01:14:27.320 Anything, Coke, toot, nose candy, a little, a little heroin here and there. Right. Totally
01:14:31.960 fine. Totally fine to bring on planes as far as I, you can shoot up on planes now. Now you
01:14:37.120 can't, you can't misgender the stewardess. No. Uh, who is. Get those pronouns correct.
01:14:41.720 If you call it a steward. Please. Uh, you'll, you're gonna have some problems. But, uh, heroin
01:14:46.140 I'm pretty sure is okay on planes these days. But be careful with the hashish oil. Look, it's,
01:14:51.640 it is, it's a situation where a lot of times rules are on the books in these countries that
01:14:59.400 are, uh, adversarial to us. And many times are not going to be applied to the, the fullest
01:15:07.140 extent of the law. Like you have hashish oil, you're going through, I don't know, does every
01:15:10.840 Russian citizen, it might, you know, a lot of them probably do. Right. Russia's not exactly
01:15:14.660 known for their nuanced, uh, nuanced, uh, law enforcement. It's not really the way that
01:15:21.540 they roll. But clearly I think Brittany Griner is getting the worst of this because of the
01:15:26.280 current situation. Definitely. Even if she did do it, which is highly questionable.
01:15:31.940 We don't know that at all. Right. Could it have been planted? Not there at all. Not there
01:15:37.620 at all. Yes. I think very definitely it could have. But she did sort of admit to it. But
01:15:43.440 again, that could be part of the deal. Right. That could be part of, okay, just admit to being
01:15:48.180 guilty and we'll send you home next week or whatever. We all know. I hope that's what it
01:15:52.880 is. It's not going to improve your situation to say, these people are framing me. That's
01:15:56.200 not going to help you. You're already in Russian prison. Like you don't want to
01:16:01.960 necessarily inflame the situation. When you come home, you say, you probably don't want
01:16:07.280 to scream that in the Russian airport either. It's just like not bringing a hashish
01:16:11.200 oil on an airplane. I would also say, don't say long live Ukraine while you're in Russian
01:16:15.640 prison. Those are the two things I would say. Good safety tips. It's the only two tips I
01:16:19.020 have for you today. Okay. Um, here's, uh, another piece of breaking news. Boris Johnson has
01:16:24.700 resigned as prime minister of great Britain. Uh, he's resigning, but he is going to stay
01:16:31.140 on until they figure out who else it's going to be. And that could be, who knows? He said
01:16:35.360 October. Um, he originally was just going to try to ride this out. And I don't fully understand
01:16:42.740 the parliamentary system. I mean, this happens in Israel like five times a year. They have,
01:16:48.460 uh, elections and they have no confidence votes. And then suddenly somebody is quitting and they
01:16:53.320 have to do another election for the fifth time in the last couple of years. But, uh, Britain
01:17:00.080 has a sort of similar thing. If people don't like him, I guess they have to step down.
01:17:04.220 I don't know. It's a bizarre, I almost wish that was our system right now because can we
01:17:09.660 turn that system on for like a week, like a week, you know, go back to being a Republic,
01:17:14.380 but just for a week. Yeah. And wouldn't that be nice? The accusation here is that I guess
01:17:19.860 one of his underlings had some sexual harassment issue in the past. Right. And they, I guess they
01:17:26.560 found out about it, punished him. He stuck around and then had a second incident and they got rid of
01:17:32.960 him. And when they asked Boris Johnson about it, he, he says he didn't remember the first incident.
01:17:38.520 And I think most people don't believe him. They think he was just trying to hide it or cover it
01:17:42.560 up. And that's why I guess his own party turned on him, which means he has to step down.
01:17:47.860 There were some, also some allegations about parties during the pandemic.
01:17:51.640 Yeah. That was a previous scandal that he survived.
01:17:53.420 And that was a big deal for the people, apparently.
01:17:56.120 Yeah. He survived. Well, I mean, look, the Gavin Newsom thing was a big deal here.
01:17:58.940 Yeah. But the same thing happened as the Gavin Newsom thing. Like he got the heat for it,
01:18:03.020 a recall or a no confidence vote.
01:18:05.520 And he survived that. But they both survived it. In Gavin Newsom's case, it's sad that he
01:18:10.520 survived it because the people of California are forced to deal with that nonsense. And
01:18:15.940 I will say this, there's an increasing chance that we here in America are forced to deal with
01:18:22.280 it because Gavin Newsom quite clearly is angling to run in 2024 if the opportunity presents itself.
01:18:30.680 And if this election, this midterm goes as well for Republicans as I hope it does,
01:18:37.660 it's going to create an incredible amount of pressure on Joe Biden to not go for it in
01:18:43.240 2024. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, Biden loves his power, though. I don't know that he does.
01:18:47.340 I don't know that he'll fold to that pressure, but it's possible.
01:18:50.640 888-727-BECK. More Pat and Stu coming up.
01:18:53.960 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:19:06.280 Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed. He's a
01:19:10.340 completely different dog. I hear from people all the time in the audience. I mean, hundreds and
01:19:15.960 hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog. They've heard me
01:19:20.060 talk about Rough Greens on the show. They get some for themselves. And as soon as they sprinkle it on
01:19:23.940 the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down. And it's really good for him. It's not a dog food.
01:19:29.040 It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
01:19:33.580 Your dog needs these things to be healthy.
01:19:36.380 My dog was easy. From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.
01:19:40.480 Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though. Dr. Dennis Black,
01:19:44.420 the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week. He doesn't want that to be a
01:19:48.120 reason for you not to try. So right now, he's got a special gift available. You can get
01:19:52.140 a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out. All you pay is shipping. Go to
01:19:57.360 roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33. Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog
01:20:05.300 become healthier.
01:20:18.520 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. 888-727-BECK. Have you seen this Kyle
01:20:25.480 Rittenhouse ad he's taken out? He's doing this media thing, the media accountability movement
01:20:35.220 that he's doing? You guys had him on when he was here a couple of weeks ago.
01:20:40.200 Yep. Not a couple of weeks ago, but he was on...
01:20:43.700 Previous to that?
01:20:44.860 Yeah, previous to that.
01:20:45.600 Yeah. When he was on my show a couple of weeks ago, he was talking about this media accountability
01:20:50.920 campaign that he's doing. And here's a look at how that's going.
01:20:57.340 The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty
01:21:04.300 and to make the guilty innocent. That's power.
01:21:09.620 That white supremacist 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.
01:21:13.200 A 17-year-old vigilante. Arguably a domestic terrorist.
01:21:16.480 Kyle Rittenhouse.
01:21:17.360 A militiaman wannabe.
01:21:18.620 President Joe Biden who used a picture of Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist.
01:21:22.360 It's absolutely white supremacy.
01:21:24.020 You're innocent. Do you feel vindicated?
01:21:25.840 I feel like justice will serve.
01:21:30.380 There's going to be some accountability coming.
01:21:32.080 White supremacist trials. You've got Rittenhouse.
01:21:35.260 Hate, disrespect, and intolerance.
01:21:37.860 Point of fact, the only bigot on the scene appears to have been Joseph Rosenbaum, the child
01:21:42.880 rapist. And yet it's Kyle Rittenhouse who Joe Biden accused of being a white supremacist
01:21:48.380 on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. And let's hope at some point he gets sued for that.
01:21:52.580 Who will be held accountable?
01:21:54.600 You are the enemy of the people.
01:21:56.060 So I'm thinking the Accountability Project is suing them for everything they've got.
01:22:06.440 And that's great because, man, did they make his life miserable for a long time.
01:22:10.860 And they do this to people all the time.
01:22:12.340 Yep.
01:22:12.820 You know, they destroy their lives.
01:22:14.280 They did it to Nick Sandman.
01:22:15.400 Yeah.
01:22:15.580 And he sued for $250 million.
01:22:19.820 And they wound up settling.
01:22:21.140 And I don't know if we ever got the monetary figure there.
01:22:24.100 It was a large amount, though.
01:22:25.120 Yeah, you know it was.
01:22:25.920 By all reports.
01:22:27.020 Yes.
01:22:28.100 It is.
01:22:29.800 But it should be a large amount.
01:22:31.400 Yeah.
01:22:32.000 They've ruined these kids' lives.
01:22:33.860 Yeah.
01:22:34.560 And they do it to people all the time.
01:22:36.320 They do it to people all the time.
01:22:37.220 And there is a line, too.
01:22:38.480 I mean, you know, look, they say BS about us all the time, too.
01:22:42.100 That's something that kind of goes along with the job.
01:22:45.560 Although it's really frustrating at times.
01:22:47.020 I mean, you see what happens to Glenn.
01:22:48.280 He gets it much worse than we do.
01:22:49.700 Yeah.
01:22:50.120 But, you know, they say fake things about him all the time.
01:22:52.840 The New York Times led a story about January 6th as if Glenn Beck was the main guy pushing for it.
01:23:01.640 He's specific.
01:23:02.960 And they knew this going in.
01:23:04.160 They had the information going in that on January 5th, he told people on the air not to go because it was going to be dangerous.
01:23:11.280 He told people not to go to the rally.
01:23:13.520 They led a New York Times story with him as, like, the main culprit behind January 6th.
01:23:19.700 And it's unreal.
01:23:20.700 And we're used to it.
01:23:21.660 It's part of our gig at some level.
01:23:23.400 I don't think that's fair, but it is.
01:23:25.180 It's reality.
01:23:25.820 But when they take people who are not public figures at all and rake them through the coals for no reason, for no reason at all, they deserve to be held accountable.
01:23:35.660 It happened with Sandman.
01:23:36.700 I bet it's going to happen with Rittenhouse as well.
01:23:38.420 Yep.
01:23:40.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:45.140 Let me tell you about Grip6.
01:23:58.200 Grip6 has great belts.
01:23:59.560 They've got great wallets.
01:24:01.220 They've got great socks.
01:24:02.440 And they're a great company located here in America.
01:24:05.300 I think they're based in Utah.
01:24:06.100 They do all of other sourcing from America.
01:24:11.120 And I think you hear this a lot where, well, we can't possibly come up with high-quality items that are a reasonable cost because you can't do that in America.
01:24:19.980 You've got to outsource everything.
01:24:21.500 And it's like, well, no, you don't.
01:24:23.180 You know, you can do it.
01:24:24.240 It's hard.
01:24:24.760 It's harder.
01:24:26.040 But that's why Grip6 exists.
01:24:28.500 They are trying to do the hard thing here.
01:24:30.320 They love this country.
01:24:31.740 They are people who really support the values of this country.
01:24:35.360 And they make great products.
01:24:37.200 You don't have to sacrifice just because, you know, you might like the company.
01:24:41.340 You get the best of both worlds here.
01:24:43.800 Their wallets are really cool.
01:24:45.260 If you've ever seen that Seinfeld episode with George Costanzo where he's like sitting sideways because his wallet is so big in his back pocket.
01:24:52.660 This is not like this.
01:24:53.740 They can, you know, get really good access to your cards really easily.
01:24:57.400 There's a little loop to pull it out of your pocket.
01:24:59.320 It's really fantastic.
01:25:00.520 They're really cool designs.

01:25:44.900 We've got to stand together.
01:25:46.840 It's the chorus of life.
01:25:48.720 Stand up straight and hold the line.
01:25:56.360 It's a new day.
01:25:58.340 I'm trying to rise.
01:26:02.780 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:26:08.540 This is the Glenn Back Program.
01:26:12.580 Stand up.
01:26:13.880 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
01:26:15.220 We were talking a few minutes ago about the possibility of Gavin Newsom stepping into the
01:26:21.780 void for the Democrats.
01:26:23.640 We know they don't want Joe Biden.
01:26:25.820 We know they don't want Kamala Harris to run in 2024.
01:26:30.200 So who is it?
01:26:33.340 I think there's a pretty good chance it's Gavin Newsom.
01:26:39.440 And we'll show you some evidence of that coming up in about 60 seconds.
01:26:43.080 There's a big story in the Wall Street Journal today.
01:26:50.440 Red states are winning the post-pandemic economy.
01:26:54.240 Huh.
01:26:55.420 Who would have seen this coming?
01:26:57.300 Workers and employers moved away from the coast to middle of the country and Florida,
01:27:02.160 sparking swifter recoveries there.
01:27:03.960 That's not exactly a surprise, I think, to most people who went through the COVID era.
01:27:07.040 In fact, so many people moved from California, from Illinois, from New York to places like
01:27:13.620 Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Arizona.
01:27:17.780 And it's a fascinating change, but one I think you'd have to expect if you went through life
01:27:23.260 over the past couple of years.
01:27:24.540 If you happen to be one of those people and you're leaving a blue state and going to a red
01:27:28.060 state, first of all, we welcome you.
01:27:29.880 Second of all, you better have a good real estate agent on both sides of that transaction.

01:28:00.380 realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:28:01.500 So, Gavin Newsom seems to be making some noise about potentially running for governor.
01:28:11.520 There's a little battle between him and Ron DeSantis going on.
01:28:14.800 There's some back and forth there.
01:28:16.960 Obviously, a lot of people think Ron DeSantis is going to run for president.
01:28:20.920 A lot of people beginning to think Gavin Newsom is going to run for president.
01:28:25.340 Otherwise, why does the governor of California run an ad in Florida on the 4th of July?
01:28:34.220 Very weird.
01:28:35.360 Yeah, really weird.
01:28:36.440 If you haven't heard that ad, here it is.
01:28:38.480 It's Independence Day, so let's talk about what's going on in America.
01:28:43.040 Freedom is under attack in your state.
01:28:45.200 Republican leaders, they're banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech
01:28:50.080 in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.
01:28:53.200 No.
01:28:53.420 Criminalizing women.
01:28:54.200 I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight or join us in California, where we
01:28:58.460 still believe in freedom.
01:28:59.680 Oh, sure.
01:29:00.200 Freedom to speech.
01:29:00.460 Oh, sure.
01:29:00.500 California.
01:29:00.860 Freedom to choose.
01:29:01.640 Please come back home.
01:29:02.420 Freedom from hate.
01:29:03.000 Please come back home.
01:29:03.740 Freedom to love.
01:29:04.600 Don't let them take your freedom.
01:29:06.800 Paid for by Newsom for California governor 2022.
01:29:09.160 That's incredible.
01:29:10.600 Why would you pay for Newsom for governor?
01:29:15.540 Why would that campaign, Newsom for California governor, pay for a Florida ad on the 4th of
01:29:22.480 July?
01:29:23.120 Huh.
01:29:23.640 For exactly what is happening right now.
01:29:27.920 We are talking about it.
01:29:29.720 He's trying to elevate his profile to become the presidential option if the Biden thing
01:29:36.240 goes more awry than it is already, if that's possible.
01:29:41.080 And he's trying to position himself.
01:29:43.080 And so he's trying to get people to talk about him.
01:29:44.660 He knows he's got this race won, obviously, in California.
01:29:47.160 He doesn't have to.
01:29:47.800 There's no need for him to spend $1 on anything in this race.
01:29:50.820 Right.
01:29:51.140 He's already, you know, the race he had to win was the recall.
01:29:54.300 Now that he's won that, you know, it's going to be very easy for him to win in California.
01:29:58.980 And he is riding high on his, you know, he didn't get recalled, which is, it's like,
01:30:05.340 it's just like Boris Johnson celebrating the win in the no confidence vote.
01:30:10.360 Like, that's not a, it's not something to celebrate.
01:30:13.400 Yeah.
01:30:13.920 You shouldn't have been in the no confidence vote in the first place.
01:30:16.740 If you're doing a good job, you don't get the no confidence vote in the first place.
01:30:19.400 But that's what happened.
01:30:20.600 He survived it barely.
01:30:22.620 I mean, you know, just a month or so before the polls were saying it was basically a toss
01:30:25.800 up whether he was going to remain in office.
01:30:26.980 He wound up winning by, you know, 8% of people changing their mind.
01:30:30.760 You know, I think he won by 16 points total.
01:30:32.660 It was, you know, there's only two choices.
01:30:34.500 It was 58-42.
01:30:35.920 If 8% of their people changed their mind in a democratic state, it was lower than the
01:30:41.580 amount that he got elected with.
01:30:43.340 This is not a win.
01:30:44.940 Yeah.
01:30:45.200 You know, but he, he's an egomaniac and he wants to be that next option.
01:30:50.640 And he has a very high opinion of himself.
01:30:52.240 Everything he said in that ad is a lie.
01:30:55.620 Yeah.
01:30:55.880 Everything is a lie.
01:30:57.400 Freedom's under attack in Florida?
01:30:59.140 No.
01:30:59.320 No, it's not.
01:30:59.760 No, it isn't.
01:31:00.300 Exact opposite.
01:31:00.740 It's the exact opposite.
01:31:02.600 You can argue if you want, if you're on the left wing position, the argument to make against
01:31:06.900 DeSantis is he's giving you too much freedom, right?
01:31:09.200 That was the COVID argument against DeSantis.
01:31:10.920 He was allowing you to live your life too often.
01:31:14.100 Republican leaders are banning books.
01:31:16.460 No, they're not.
01:31:17.540 That's obviously a reference to the sexual discussions with kindergartners through third
01:31:22.700 graders.
01:31:23.260 Yeah.
01:31:23.760 I don't know that there were books banned involved in that.
01:31:28.160 I don't know what books were going to be presented to the kids that showed sexual activity
01:31:32.800 of anybody.
01:31:34.120 But we've seen, we've seen some of these hardcore woke books that have been banned from certain
01:31:39.120 classrooms.
01:31:40.880 No books have been banned, but like we, we all, I don't know if everyone, anyone knows this.
01:31:44.780 We ban books all the time.
01:31:46.760 Playboy is not allowed in kindergarten classrooms.
01:31:49.780 Banning magazines.
01:31:50.920 Banning books.
01:31:51.460 Classrooms.
01:31:52.600 It's so asinine.
01:31:54.840 They're making it harder to vote.
01:31:57.200 Are they?
01:31:58.000 No, they're not.
01:31:58.780 Are they?
01:31:59.580 Why?
01:31:59.820 Because you have to show an ID at the voting booth?
01:32:02.580 Something about 85% of all Americans agree with.
01:32:06.120 80% of minorities agree with.
01:32:09.500 Why do they agree with it?
01:32:11.320 Because they have IDs.
01:32:12.500 They don't have a hard time getting any harder a time getting an ID than a white person does.
01:32:18.540 Because Gavin Newsom's opinion, his very low opinion of the mental capacity of African
01:32:24.980 Americans and other minorities is not accurate.
01:32:27.020 That's the problem.
01:32:27.840 Yeah.
01:32:27.960 Guess what?
01:32:28.500 They can figure out how to get a driver's license.
01:32:30.480 It's not that hard.
01:32:31.620 Capable human beings, just like you.
01:32:33.080 I don't know if he is, but just like, just like, what was the quote from Joe Biden?
01:32:37.600 And, you know, black kids are just as talented as, or poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
01:32:43.860 That was, that's the way Joe Biden told that story.
01:32:47.160 And that's the way they think.
01:32:48.820 Criminalizing women.
01:32:50.280 So wait, we're three for three on lies, right?
01:32:52.360 Three claims, three lies.
01:32:54.040 What's the next one?
01:32:55.020 Criminalizing women.
01:32:56.360 They're criminalizing women in Florida.
01:32:58.180 Women in doctors.
01:32:59.040 No, when, when, when women commit crimes, they are criminals.
01:33:06.420 Yes.
01:33:06.940 That is, that's what women are criminalized in every state of the union by this idiotic definition.
01:33:13.240 I guess he's trying to say they're going to make abortion illegal.
01:33:15.820 Because of abortions.
01:33:16.440 But they, they, they, they're not even doing that.
01:33:18.720 Nobody's targeting women with criminal proceedings if they have an abortion.
01:33:24.460 And there's no pending abortion ban in Florida.
01:33:26.960 There's a 15 week restriction.
01:33:29.040 In Florida, that's as far as they've gone, which is by the way, not even in effect because
01:33:33.480 the, you know, the activists are trying to challenge it in court.
01:33:36.200 But even if it were to pass, it would still be 15, a 15 week ban.
01:33:40.260 Something that they just polled, by the way, and 72% of Americans agreed with.
01:33:44.180 It just polled a 15 week ban and 72% of Americans agreed with it.
01:33:49.080 That's really something because the prevailing theory is that Americans love abortion.
01:33:55.400 They, they really support it wholeheartedly.
01:33:57.880 Well, I, I guess if, unless you explain it to them, then, uh, you get a different response
01:34:06.180 like this, uh, latest poll.
01:34:08.280 But people thought that people believe that if your life is in danger, you should be able
01:34:15.960 to get an abortion.
01:34:17.220 If you've been raped or it's a case of incest, then most people, I think, feel there should
01:34:23.340 be an exception there.
01:34:24.500 Yeah.
01:34:24.780 But abortions up to and including birth.
01:34:27.860 I mean, Democrats are so far out in left field on that.
01:34:31.640 There is no way Americans support that.
01:34:33.620 Yeah.
01:34:33.720 That's what I keep coming back to on, on the abortion debate generally.
01:34:38.920 Who's closer to the mainstream.
01:34:40.860 Now I am not close to the mainstream on abortion.
01:34:43.620 I am your very, very, uh, humble and lovable, non-violent, uh, pro-life extremist.
01:34:51.700 I, I am not blowing up any clinics, but I really don't think abortion should be a thing.
01:34:57.580 I don't think ending human life is a good idea, particularly when it's innocent.
01:35:02.520 When you have innocent human life, I think you should try to protect it as many ways that
01:35:06.240 you, as you can.
01:35:06.940 So I am not, I do not agree with the mainstream average opinion of the American, of the American
01:35:13.480 people on this particular issue, but neither do the democratic party.
01:35:17.380 And if you say, what is the official sort of position of Republicans and Democrats up
01:35:23.300 until the, there has always been an overturn of Roe versus Wade, but that does not mean abortion
01:35:28.000 goes away.
01:35:28.800 The average Republican position pushed nationwide all over the place was a 20 week ban for years
01:35:33.780 and years and years and years, a 20 week ban.
01:35:35.360 They just pulled a 15 week ban, a more restrictive ban.
01:35:38.940 And that was, uh, that was popular with 72% of Americans.
01:35:43.020 We know that third, third trimester abortion, which is, uh, is not even far enough to the
01:35:50.220 left to describe the mainstream Democrat position, because you're talking about abortions that
01:35:55.960 might happen at eight months.
01:35:57.280 That's not what the left is saying.
01:35:58.400 They're saying at any time during the pregnancy, that is what the democratic position is.
01:36:02.940 And they will basically not move off of that point.
01:36:06.220 Most of, most of them, if you challenge them, we'll say, because they'll get vilified by
01:36:10.040 I want to say Pete Buttigieg at one point said, I think only second trimester abortions should
01:36:15.200 be allowed.
01:36:15.640 And he was like, you know, he was, you know, criticized widely for that comment in the
01:36:20.240 democratic primary.
01:36:20.960 So, but that position, just third trimester abortion is favored by 14% of Americans.
01:36:28.140 So the, the kind of mainstream Republican position is favored by 72% of Americans.
01:36:35.380 And the mainstream democratic position is favored by 14% of Americans.
01:36:39.800 Now it is true that there are people that go farther than the mainstream Republican position,
01:36:45.140 such as myself.
01:36:46.520 There are states that will ban it completely with the, with the exceptions that you mentioned
01:36:51.260 in most cases, but the, the, the overwhelming majority, do not make the exception for a woman's
01:36:57.140 life endangerment.
01:36:58.800 Um, I, so it's rare.
01:37:01.160 I think that is a, um, there is a moral case to be made for that.
01:37:05.120 Um, I, you know, Lila Rose talks pretty convincingly about this, which is number one, there is basically
01:37:12.120 no case where this occurs.
01:37:14.440 There is essentially no case where the woman's life is in danger in that way.
01:37:19.800 Um, but that can, you know, I'm not a doctor.
01:37:22.480 I have heard doctors say that.
01:37:24.380 It has happened.
01:37:24.680 It does happen.
01:37:25.560 But yeah, and it can happen.
01:37:26.640 But it's not common like it was in the 1800s.
01:37:29.660 Extraordinarily rare.
01:37:30.480 Yes.
01:37:30.920 Um, you know, she talks pretty convincingly about the idea of, you know, sometimes there are
01:37:34.640 situations that are extreme and you have to, you have to consider them.
01:37:38.300 Um, but she, she made the point to me at one point in one of the interviews we talked about
01:37:40.800 on students America, where she described, you know, like basically like you go through
01:37:45.380 this place where the child is born and you might say, well, there's no chance of that
01:37:50.220 child living at that age.
01:37:52.100 You just do what you can.
01:37:53.840 Like you do what you can to try to, to make it work.
01:37:56.740 And you know what?
01:37:57.560 Probably won't, but you do everything you can to fight for life in those situations.
01:38:02.420 You don't certainly don't kill the mother.
01:38:04.160 I think we all recognize that's not the appropriate way to go.
01:38:07.100 Or allow the mother to die.
01:38:08.300 If you have to, that's what I mean.
01:38:09.440 You have, you have to deliver the baby early where there's no hope.
01:38:12.700 You do, you do that.
01:38:14.240 You do the C-section.
01:38:15.400 You do what you have to do and you fight for the life of the baby.
01:38:19.840 Even if, even if it's hopeless.
01:38:21.560 Yeah.
01:38:21.980 You know, you still try when someone, you know, when someone's in, you know, a situation
01:38:26.020 where their life is, uh, they have some disease and it's hopeless.
01:38:29.260 And the doctor says there's no chance of survival.
01:38:31.280 You do what you can anyway.
01:38:32.480 You try.
01:38:32.900 I think this stat I saw recently was 0.001%.
01:38:38.460 So one, one thousandth of a percent of abortions are because a woman's life is in danger.
01:38:44.780 So it's, it almost never happens anymore.
01:38:46.920 Yeah.
01:38:47.260 Almost never.
01:38:47.840 But there are occurrences where it does happen.
01:38:50.400 There are cases of certain types of pregnancies that, uh, and this is one of the things the
01:38:55.860 left is trying to use scare tactics on is to try to push this idea that certain types
01:39:01.800 of pregnancies that are, you know, in the middle of failure, um, it's types of pregnancies that
01:39:08.360 are, you know, affecting the mother in terrible ways.
01:39:10.660 Um, you just kind of deal with, and I don't, I don't know of any person on the pro-life
01:39:15.040 side that considers that abortion.
01:39:17.120 So, I mean, I, I think there are some, there's some medical procedures that happen early on
01:39:20.860 that, you know, that the left is trying to, you know, lump in with this to scare women,
01:39:26.220 but I don't know of any pro-life person who actually considers those procedures to be abortions.
01:39:32.440 So, I mean, I think there's, you know, look, you can walk around the fringes of this as
01:39:36.360 much as you want.
01:39:37.020 And we've talked about all the exceptions at length and we're not, we're the ones that are
01:39:40.300 fine doing that.
01:39:41.660 I don't mind making the argument for life.
01:39:44.600 I think erring on the side of life is always a good concept, but the left won't talk about
01:39:49.280 their outlying situations.
01:39:50.800 You know, why doesn't the, every, every Republican that's ever said they're pro-life has been
01:39:54.280 asked about rape and incest exceptions on abortion, every single one of them.
01:39:59.120 How many, how many democratic politicians have been forced to answer a question about what
01:40:04.700 happens at eight, nine months and, you know, uh, right before birth.
01:40:08.540 Right.
01:40:09.380 Or during birth, during birth and partial birth, you kill the baby as it's coming down the
01:40:14.660 birth canal.
01:40:15.840 That literally happens.
01:40:17.560 Yeah.
01:40:18.360 I mean, collapsing their skull and sucking out the body parts.
01:40:22.560 And it's horrific.
01:40:24.400 It's just absolutely horrific.
01:40:25.920 I mean, to try to find one moment in the pregnancy in which the left will not kill, give you the
01:40:32.800 opportunity to kill a child is almost impossible.
01:40:35.000 And we actually tried this back when George Bush was president and we came up with this
01:40:38.840 idea of, you know, Hey, let's call them out on partial birth abortion.
01:40:42.880 Let's just see if we can get them to come that far where the baby is partially born half
01:40:48.480 out of the woman at that point.
01:40:50.860 Why on earth would you need to kill the child?
01:40:54.140 Have the baby come.
01:40:54.980 You're going to have to birth it.
01:40:55.860 You're going to have to take it out of there anyway.
01:40:57.180 Right.
01:40:57.480 Why not have it come out and then give it up for adoption?
01:41:00.040 Why would you kill it at that point?
01:41:02.220 He said, how about this?
01:41:03.420 Just that.
01:41:04.740 Let me give you the lowest hurdle to possibly clear partial birth abortion.
01:41:11.400 And it was so offensive to the American people that the Democrats, some of them, let it go
01:41:17.540 through.
01:41:18.480 And you know what they did after that?
01:41:20.400 They started doing it at the same time in the pregnancy before they partially birthed the
01:41:24.720 baby.
01:41:25.360 They just continued to do it.
01:41:26.700 They just kept the baby entirely in the womb and did it then.
01:41:30.860 Wow.
01:41:31.200 The same time.
01:41:32.240 Now, obviously the concept here was don't kill the baby a second before it's born.
01:41:37.520 Right.
01:41:38.060 And they said, well, we'll do it 10 seconds before they're born.
01:41:41.640 You know, they just found a way to get around it.
01:41:44.980 So that that rule that was passed under George W. Bush really didn't do much because they just
01:41:51.300 started doing it.
01:41:52.100 They just changed the procedure slightly to fit the technical definition of partial birth
01:41:56.480 abortion, which is why I call them a death cult, because that's that's what they are.
01:42:01.300 They're ghouls who are part of a death cult.
01:42:04.320 Triple eight, seven to seven B.E.C.K.
01:42:09.400 Ever since he tried the rough greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed.
01:42:13.220 He's a completely different dog.
01:42:15.060 I hear from people all the time in the audience.
01:42:18.000 I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with
01:42:22.280 their dog.
01:42:22.720 They've heard me talk about rough greens on the show.
01:42:24.500 They get some for themselves.
01:42:25.820 And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.
01:42:30.020 And it's really good for him.
01:42:31.200 It's not a dog food.
01:42:32.120 It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
01:42:36.680 Your dog needs these things to be healthy.
01:42:39.460 My dog was easy from the first time he tried rough greens.
01:42:42.160 Uno was in love.
01:42:43.300 Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.
01:42:46.520 Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of rough greens, was on the phone with me last week.
01:42:50.240 He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
01:42:52.480 So right now, he's got a special gift available.
01:42:54.620 You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.
01:42:59.000 All you pay is shipping.
01:43:00.160 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.
01:43:05.260 Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.

01:43:32.580 I think it's an important day in our history, one we should remember.

01:43:56.620 Alex Stein will be there.
01:43:57.660 It's going to be a lot of fun as we make idiots of ourselves and attempt to talk politics
01:44:01.080 while doing a power hour, which you may remember from your college days.

01:44:32.760 PAT15?
01:44:33.280 Yes.
01:44:33.840 There was a promise of a strawberry Pop-Tart cookie to be brought in to this show.
01:44:39.120 I will try to remember to do it tomorrow.
01:44:41.040 Yeah.
01:44:41.240 Because the strawberry, it's really good.
01:44:43.100 And you like the coconut cream one too, right?
01:44:45.460 That coconut cream thing is so good.
01:44:47.520 You still have that?
01:44:48.480 Uh-huh.
01:44:49.080 Oh.
01:44:49.720 That one.
01:44:50.240 I don't know.
01:44:50.780 If you like.
01:44:51.100 Yeah.
01:44:51.460 A lot of people like.
01:44:52.880 I will never say you shouldn't get like the chocolate chip.
01:44:55.420 It's a fantastic kexy cookie.
01:44:56.560 But, you know, a lot of people like those classic cookies.
01:44:58.360 I sometimes like the different flavors.
01:45:01.080 Yeah.
01:45:01.380 And that coconut cream thing, man.
01:45:03.040 Oh.
01:45:03.940 That thing is delicious.
01:45:04.940 It's surprising when we do these off kind of cookies.
01:45:07.640 Yeah.
01:45:07.860 The off flavors.
01:45:08.880 Sometimes they're really popular.
01:45:10.480 Yeah.
01:45:10.580 And really, really good.
01:45:11.740 Keksi.com.
01:45:12.420 K-E-K-S-I.com.
01:45:14.060 Glenn thinks nobody can spell it.
01:45:16.660 I disagree.
01:45:16.980 I mean, this is like Democratic politicians saying that black people can't get ID.
01:45:21.620 He just thinks the audience is so dumb.
01:45:23.960 They can't just remember K-E-K-S-I.com.
01:45:26.820 It's not that hard, really.
01:45:27.960 It's really not.
01:45:28.820 No.
01:45:29.260 No.
01:45:29.620 I have a lot of confidence in this audience.
01:45:32.040 I think they can figure it out.
01:45:33.160 I do, too.
01:45:34.240 We're also figuring out that Gavin Newsom is a lion sack because everything he said on
01:45:40.280 that ad that he did in Florida was a lie.
01:45:44.440 And I love the part where he gets to join us in California where we still believe in freedom.
01:45:50.420 Yeah.
01:45:51.280 Wait.
01:45:51.860 What?
01:45:52.400 What?
01:45:53.180 Okay.
01:45:53.640 The freedom to pay the highest taxes in the nation.
01:45:57.020 The freedom to pay the highest gas prices in the nation.
01:46:00.340 The highest home prices in it.
01:46:02.560 I can pay like three times what it would cost me for a home in Texas.
01:46:06.980 I can pay three times that in California or five times that in California.
01:46:13.300 And you do have the freedom to eliminate babies, though.
01:46:16.440 They do grant you that freedom.
01:46:18.480 Yeah.
01:46:18.860 And it's, I mean, it's pretty open-ended freedom.
01:46:23.020 You can pretty much do it anytime you want for any reason you want.
01:46:25.860 But so far on this ad where he's four for four.
01:46:28.220 Yes, he is.
01:46:28.920 On the lie scale.
01:46:29.800 Every single claim he's made in this ad so far has been a lie.
01:46:35.000 But what about the freedom from hate?
01:46:37.860 Is that a lie?
01:46:39.240 So there's no hate in the state of California?
01:46:41.220 There's no hate in the state.
01:46:42.480 That's weird.
01:46:43.020 We've seen mass shootings happen there.
01:46:45.200 Those people that were loving mass shootings?
01:46:47.640 What were those?
01:46:48.260 I guess.
01:46:49.340 Hmm.
01:46:49.760 Huh.
01:46:49.980 Empathetic mass shootings?
01:46:51.320 Also, there's a pretty high crime rate in California, in Los Angeles, in San Francisco.
01:46:56.480 A lot of murders go on there.
01:46:57.500 A lot of murders.
01:46:58.360 No crime in San Francisco.
01:47:00.040 Wow.
01:47:00.660 Yeah.
01:47:01.260 Interesting.
01:47:02.180 Interesting.
01:47:02.860 Interesting.
01:47:05.720 These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything.
01:47:12.880 Especially when you're online.
01:47:14.420 But with all that information just floating out there, it can make the internet a practical gold mine for identity thieves.
01:47:21.800 Actually, that's not fair to gold miners.
01:47:24.340 Mining is actually hard work.
01:47:26.120 Stealing your identity is dangerously easy.
01:47:30.020 It's also incredibly costly and terribly frustrating if you get hacked.
01:47:34.120 Now is an easy time to join up with LifeLock and help protect yourself with LifeLock by Norton.
01:47:42.260 LifeLock monitors your information and alerts you to personal identity threats.

01:47:53.180 LifeLock.
01:47:53.840 They can't protect you from everything.
01:47:55.660 Nobody can.

01:48:15.700 More Glenn Beck next.
01:48:32.520 It's Pat and Stu.
01:48:40.840 I do a show called Pat Gray Unleashed.
01:48:42.960 You can hear that every morning immediately preceding this show live or anytime you want, wherever you get your podcast.
01:48:52.080 Stu also does a show weekdays on this particular network.
01:48:57.460 Yeah.
01:48:57.700 Stu does America.
01:48:58.280 Don't miss it, 8 p.m. Eastern on Blaze TV, also available on podcast if you happen to be listening to the show on podcast or wherever you are.
01:49:05.280 Subscribe to the podcast.

01:49:12.940 All worth your time, Pat.
01:49:14.620 All of them.
01:49:15.220 So, uh, the campaign between, um, uh, Herschel Walker and, uh, Warlock, uh, I forget his first name.
01:49:24.840 The Warlock guy.
01:49:26.100 Raphael.
01:49:26.660 Yes.
01:49:27.040 Raphael Warlock.
01:49:28.400 Warnock, I believe is his actual name.
01:49:30.500 Yes.
01:49:31.180 But I always, uh, I refer to him as Warlock.
01:49:34.020 Uh, but he is, uh, a nightmare.
01:49:37.100 An absolute nightmare.
01:49:38.480 Oh yeah.
01:49:38.780 He's terrible.
01:49:39.220 You're more, more, more, more.
01:49:40.800 Now I can't remember which one is which.
01:49:42.100 War, Warnock.
01:49:42.920 Warnock.
01:49:43.400 Warlock.
01:49:43.640 Is a nightmare.
01:49:44.160 Is a nightmare.
01:49:45.000 But, um, are there some issues with, uh, with, uh, Herschel right now?
01:49:49.440 He's coming after Herschel Walker.
01:49:50.440 And we've had Herschel on the show before.
01:49:51.860 I like him.
01:49:52.540 He seemed like a really nice guy.
01:49:53.960 Uh, obviously, uh, played for the Philadelphia Eagles, which makes him a great guy.
01:49:57.580 Yeah.
01:49:57.740 Uh, but the, uh.
01:49:59.320 It's not really where he's remembered, uh, I don't think.
01:50:02.860 That's how I remember him.
01:50:03.800 As a Philadelphia Eagle.
01:50:04.800 Now, maybe the Georgia Bulldogs might remember him a little bit from, from that particular era.
01:50:09.120 Yeah, but I'm thinking more, more closely related with maybe the Metroplex where we are, uh.
01:50:15.800 I mean, it was on the Vikings.
01:50:16.800 Is that what we're talking about?
01:50:17.360 No.
01:50:18.080 I'm not talking about.
01:50:19.600 I'm talking about the Dallas Cowboys.
01:50:21.680 Um, you know, there was.
01:50:22.940 Pat, Pat, I want the guy to win the election.
01:50:24.680 Uh, that's true.
01:50:25.280 Don't, don't, don't tarnish him.
01:50:27.660 Don't, don't let everyone know that he had a dark period where he would play for the Dallas Cowboys.
01:50:32.740 Jeez.
01:50:33.040 But, uh, uh, the Daily Beast has some information that they, our claim is.
01:50:39.760 Who knows?
01:50:40.180 Yeah, who knows?
01:50:40.820 I mean, look, they, they've, they've been coming, you knew, and we talked to him about it when he was here.
01:50:45.300 They are going to come after him, uh, hardcore and look through every little bit of his history.
01:50:49.720 And he's been, you know, very open about several parts of his history that were really challenging.
01:50:55.280 I mean, he had some really dark days and he's talked about them extensively.
01:50:59.120 And they're coming after him about, uh, you know, uh, things that they certainly would
01:51:03.160 never come after a Democrat for, you know, no, they would not children from, uh, other
01:51:07.240 relationships and such.
01:51:08.580 They obviously would never care about such a thing when it comes to Democrats, but they
01:51:12.640 apparently care here.
01:51:14.240 Uh, and I, you know, it's, it's going to be an interesting race.
01:51:16.880 I did, I did my first Senate breakdown maybe a month ago of the upcoming race.
01:51:21.000 And we don't even know, we didn't even know who all the candidates were at that point.
01:51:24.520 There's still primaries going on and such at the time.
01:51:27.020 But, uh, the way I looked at it was there was about, there was about five toss up races
01:51:33.680 in this country, five or six.
01:51:36.380 And the Republicans would need to win, uh, three of those five.
01:51:42.420 Okay.
01:51:42.940 To be, or three of the six.
01:51:44.220 And is one of them the Georgia race?
01:51:45.900 Georgia, Georgia was one of them.
01:51:47.300 And Pennsylvania.
01:51:48.380 Pennsylvania is another.
01:51:49.400 Dr. Oz.
01:51:50.040 Yeah.
01:51:50.360 Up the top, I don't have it in front of me, but it was three out of the six races they
01:51:53.480 needed to win that were the toss up races, like really fundamentally toss up races.
01:51:57.360 To get, to get the 50 senators they need.
01:52:00.720 And you might say, well, they can't pass anything with 50 senators.
01:52:03.160 And that's true, but they can block a lot.
01:52:05.680 Uh, I do expect the Republicans to win the house.
01:52:08.800 So they can block the bills that way if they, if they wish.
01:52:13.180 But Supreme court justices, you might know, uh, go through the Senate.
01:52:17.420 So getting 50 is vital, vital.
01:52:22.280 And when it comes to this Senate, you can't blow one of these races.
01:52:25.840 You can't do it.
01:52:27.120 They still have the vice president vote, uh, for the next two years.
01:52:32.040 Yeah.
01:52:32.280 So control though, does do a lot and it does help.
01:52:34.840 So if you want to get to 51 clearly and, uh, but you know, control having, you know, Republican
01:52:40.180 leadership is important as well, but you're right.
01:52:42.600 You need to get to, you know, 51 and that's not easy.
01:52:46.800 So you got to like, you just can't blow easy races.
01:52:49.700 Now, Georgia is not a bright red state as it once was.
01:52:53.260 I, you have to say it's a purple state, obviously went to Biden amazing in 2020.
01:52:59.260 Um, but you know, it's been trending blue for a while and it's turned into a really
01:53:03.060 a purple state.
01:53:03.820 That being said, in this environment, this should be an easily winnable race for any,
01:53:10.080 you know, replacement level Republican.
01:53:12.340 You know, it really should not be a difficult, it might even be more difficult if it was
01:53:18.020 Ossoff, but it's, it's Warnock.
01:53:19.560 I mean, the guy is obviously an extremist, you know?
01:53:22.780 Yeah, he really is.
01:53:24.880 He's not a borderline, not a moderate Democrat.
01:53:28.360 No, he is extremely, extremely leftist and comes off that way to a lot of people.
01:53:33.940 So this is a race that would be very easy to win.
01:53:37.500 You're going to see Kemp cruise over, I think, uh, Abrams, for example.
01:53:42.840 And this is obviously Kemp is a guy that a lot of Republicans were angry at after, after,
01:53:47.120 uh, the election last time.
01:53:48.720 So this should be a very winnable race.
01:53:50.540 It's, it's, you know, you know, look, it's a difficult thing to do.
01:53:54.100 If you're Herschel Walker, he's never run for anything before.
01:53:57.100 He's beloved.
01:53:58.180 He's beloved.
01:53:58.960 He's very famous.
01:54:00.040 So that that's in his favor, in his favor.
01:54:02.540 And, uh, but he's also under, you know, there's a certain amount of scrutiny that happens to
01:54:08.260 you as a famous athlete.
01:54:09.180 And then when you have the democratic party coming up against you, it's a totally different
01:54:14.800 level of scrutiny and they're going after him.
01:54:17.220 The same thing is going to happen to Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz won a squeaker of a primary, very,
01:54:21.560 very close election.
01:54:22.580 He has now gone into the, uh, into the, uh, general in a purple state, a state that obviously
01:54:30.000 Joe Biden won in 2020.
01:54:31.660 Uh, and you have the situation where that's gone back and forth to red and blue, but it's
01:54:37.720 been really more blue.
01:54:38.740 I mean, I, I remember when Donald Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, I'm remembering that
01:54:44.020 right.
01:54:44.400 Right.
01:54:44.860 And I remember thinking that was one I just never thought was going to happen.
01:54:47.820 I mean, I was legitimately surprised by the 2016 performance by Donald Trump in, in Pennsylvania.
01:54:53.220 It was really the first time that a president felt that it was even possible in a presidential
01:55:00.700 election.
01:55:01.140 There have been Republicans that have won in, you know, statewide Senate and such, but it
01:55:06.260 didn't seem possible in the presidential election.
01:55:08.340 Trump was able to do it in 2016.
01:55:10.800 So, but it's a purple state at best.
01:55:12.900 So it's not easy for Dr. Oz to win that race in normal circumstance, but in this circumstance,
01:55:20.820 in a red wave type of year, a red wave type of environment, it should be a winnable race
01:55:26.640 for a Republican.
01:55:28.660 Is Dr. Oz going to be able to pull that off again?
01:55:31.420 He's very media savvy.
01:55:33.000 We know that, but we don't know much about him as a candidate and how he's going to survive
01:55:37.840 this.
01:55:38.320 I think opponent just had a stroke.
01:55:40.400 Yeah.
01:55:40.580 And this does.
01:55:41.520 So that could be an advantage for him because, uh, there's some great shape and Pat, there's
01:55:46.920 some weird stuff going on with that.
01:55:48.020 We should know, we should talk about this for a second because this is the Fetterman
01:55:50.980 race.
01:55:51.660 The guy had a stroke right before the primary.
01:55:53.440 Yeah.
01:55:54.220 And is not doing anything on the campaign trail.
01:55:59.540 He's just like back to like living at home and living his life.
01:56:03.620 Like their defense of what's going on right now is, ah, he's just, you know, taking some
01:56:07.160 time and hanging out, you know, living life, recovering, you know, just going, going to
01:56:12.100 the movies, going out to dinner.
01:56:14.380 No big deal.
01:56:15.360 He's in the middle of a giant Senate race.
01:56:17.840 What are you talking about?
01:56:18.520 He's just going out to dinner.
01:56:19.600 Well, what is that?
01:56:21.380 And that's really what their excuse is.
01:56:22.940 Now, I guess they're saying he needs time to recover and they're trying to widen this
01:56:27.080 window as long as possible before people start asking really honest questions about whether
01:56:32.040 this guy's able to do this job anymore.
01:56:35.860 I mean, I, I, I, you have to be at the point now where you're starting to seriously consider
01:56:40.180 that there's been, you know, serious health effects that have happened from the stroke
01:56:43.800 and they're just trying to hide it.
01:56:45.620 Obviously we know Democrats have done that before.
01:56:47.740 See Woodrow Wilson.
01:56:49.980 So I don't know.
01:56:50.980 I mean, maybe that's, look, we hope for the best here.
01:56:53.380 We hope the guy is, is, is doing okay and just needs some more time.
01:56:56.480 I don't want him to win the race.
01:56:57.660 I don't want him to get this job for multiple reasons that are completely non-stroke related,
01:57:02.500 but you know, obviously we hope his health is okay, but that's another race that's going
01:57:06.960 to be close.
01:57:07.480 There's a bunch of those toss up type races that Republicans have a real chance to win.
01:57:12.300 But if they blow one or two of them, they probably will lose the Senate.
01:57:16.980 That's how difficult this is.
01:57:18.100 This is not, it feels like Biden has been so bad.
01:57:22.440 He's got a 36% approval rating.
01:57:24.260 8% of the country thinks we're going in the right direction right now.
01:57:27.580 It seems obvious that a wave election is here, but the Senate structure pushes back against
01:57:33.380 that.
01:57:33.640 This is a good democratic year for the structure of the Senate.
01:57:37.260 2024 is the opposite.
01:57:38.760 It'll be a good year for the Republicans.
01:57:40.540 They'll be in a position to pick up seats in 2024, but 2022 is not that way.
01:57:45.840 And because of the wave election, they do have a real chance and should be probably considered
01:57:52.180 the favorites to win the Senate, but they absolutely could blow this.
01:57:58.480 It is not a home run.
01:58:00.040 It's not easy cruising.
01:58:01.500 And they often do.
01:58:02.380 They often do.
01:58:03.480 Yeah.
01:58:03.720 There's been a lot of, you know, people bring up the 2010 election, which was a huge wave
01:58:07.300 election for Republicans, but there were multiple winnable seats that they wound up losing.
01:58:11.760 Most painfully to my heart and soul, Harry Reid, who could have been gone and unfortunately
01:58:19.780 stayed in office for longer.
01:58:22.200 Colorado, they, you know, Delaware, there's a bunch of states that you can look back at
01:58:25.620 and say, ah, gosh, those were really winnable races.
01:58:27.780 And some of them were very close, but Republicans didn't wind up winning them.
01:58:32.120 You can't have those moments here.
01:58:34.000 You can't blow these, these states.
01:58:35.780 You got to figure out a way to win.
01:58:37.440 And a lot of times we talk about like getting the best possible candidate.
01:58:41.080 You always want the best possible candidate for your side to be loyal to conservative
01:58:45.320 values.
01:58:45.940 But as we go into this general, I know the next two years are going to be years where
01:58:50.460 Democrat is the president of the United States and we're not going to get everything that
01:58:54.480 we want.
01:58:55.100 All we can do is hope to stop the damage.
01:58:57.940 And the best way that we can stop the damage here, the best hope that we have is even some
01:59:03.000 of these Republicans that aren't so great somehow winning.
01:59:05.540 Even if they're shaky, even if they're not lining up with every conservative principle,
01:59:11.840 you can't choke these races.
01:59:14.180 You can't.
01:59:15.320 It's way too important.
01:59:16.720 We just look at what just happened in the Supreme Court.
01:59:18.920 You cannot risk.
01:59:20.680 You can't blow these races.
01:59:23.080 You can't choke.
01:59:24.440 Somehow Republicans have to figure out how not to choke one time.
01:59:29.620 And the reason it's so important is because they're going to try to pack the Supreme Court.
01:59:35.760 Yeah.
01:59:36.280 They're going to try to add four Supreme Court justices.
01:59:39.560 And if they have control of the Senate, they're going to be able to do it.
01:59:44.060 Joe Biden has already said this supposed modern president has already come out in favor two
01:59:49.400 times to overturn the filibuster.
01:59:52.200 A guy that was in the Senate for over 30 years wants to overturn that precedent.
01:59:58.780 He's already advocated for it twice on abortion.
02:00:02.200 And was it guns was the other one?
02:00:03.740 No, voting rights was the other one.
02:00:05.320 Yeah.
02:00:05.460 He's already advocated for it twice.
02:00:07.520 If they get to 52 senators, they will do it.
02:00:12.000 They will do it.
02:00:12.980 Absolutely.
02:00:13.500 They will.
02:00:14.620 Absolutely.
02:00:15.940 So that's why it's so incredibly critical.
02:00:19.720 And that's why it's so important that, you know, some of those drop boxes that may have
02:00:24.480 been abused, I think they've cut back on those in Georgia because they had, what was it,
02:00:31.320 80 or so during the pandemic.
02:00:34.400 And you don't need that.
02:00:35.880 You don't need the drop boxes this time.
02:00:38.080 Let's just have regular, normal voting places.
02:00:41.820 What are we talking?
02:00:43.640 It's so ridiculous.
02:00:45.020 You do not need a drop box.
02:00:46.300 No, you do not.
02:00:46.840 For your vote.
02:00:47.680 No, you don't.
02:00:48.560 Everything should be attended.
02:00:50.100 And of course that can be abused.
02:00:51.920 Of course it can.
02:00:53.080 I don't know.
02:00:53.740 Like, you know, like a lot of people are bringing up lots of stuff on this.
02:00:56.760 I don't care if you have literally no evidence that are being abused at all.
02:01:00.860 Literally none.
02:01:01.560 It's obviously a dumb idea.
02:01:03.240 Yes.
02:01:03.920 You don't, you don't.
02:01:05.660 Right.
02:01:06.000 This is too important.
02:01:07.240 You don't just have people dropping things off with no attendees.
02:01:10.460 There has to be some sort of process it goes through.
02:01:13.100 And yet they scream bloody murder.
02:01:14.660 If you suggest, Hey, how about we go without the drop box this time?
02:01:18.220 Let's just go to the voting booth.
02:01:19.440 Just let's go to your voting place.
02:01:21.540 Like we always used to do.
02:01:23.180 Voting is not internet porn.

02:03:07.540 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
02:03:11.400 A coffee shop in Philadelphia, known for its LGBTQ brand identity, just closed its doors after its employees revolted against the owners
02:03:22.160 and demanded that they redistribute the company to the employees.
02:03:30.500 It's one of those, give them an inch and they'll take 10 miles.
02:03:35.600 Mina's World, which is located in the neighborhood of West Philadelphia, was characterized by Bon Appetit as a business that doubled as a hangout spot for people of marginalized identities.
02:03:47.580 Well, Sonam Parikh, who ran the company alongside her partner and co-owner Kate Eggert, told the outlet that Mina's World was the city's first coffee shop owned and operated by queer trans people of color, or the QTPOC.
02:04:01.600 QTPOC.
02:04:02.660 Cool.
02:04:03.360 Wait, Q...
02:04:03.840 Wait, the what?
02:04:04.340 The QTPOC.
02:04:05.780 Is that different than LGBTQQIA2 plus?
02:04:08.640 A little bit.
02:04:09.180 Okay.
02:04:09.540 A little bit different.
02:04:10.820 But the pair had named the company after their cat, which is adorable.
02:04:14.800 I mean, who doesn't love that?
02:04:17.440 They blasted other coffee shops for neglecting to protect their black and trans employees and allow customers to enjoy coffee in a space that was not whitewashed.
02:04:28.240 Thank God.
02:04:28.880 You think, finally, right?
02:04:30.600 Finally.
02:04:31.060 I will say this, Pat, and I don't know if this is controversial or not, but I hate white people.
02:04:36.200 Thank you.
02:04:36.540 They are just terrible.
02:04:37.460 Thank you.
02:04:37.760 Have you noticed this?
02:04:38.400 I have.
02:04:38.840 They're all terrible.
02:04:40.000 Especially straight white people.
02:04:41.420 Oh!
02:04:42.240 The worst, right?
02:04:43.420 And males?
02:04:43.940 The worst.
02:04:44.480 Oh, my God.
02:04:45.080 Oh, that patriarchy.
02:04:45.600 Don't even talk to me about male, straight white people.
02:04:48.100 I don't want to hear it.
02:04:48.700 The worst.
02:04:49.440 I don't want to hear it.
02:04:50.100 So an Instagram page called Mina's World Workers began posting accusations against the ownership last month, claiming that they had subjected their workers to manipulation, abuse of power, exploitation, anti-blackness, ableism, and other charges summarized in a list of grievances.
02:05:08.160 The employees demanded immediate payment and told the owners to redistribute the business.
02:05:16.240 Redistribute the business.
02:05:17.460 Oh, come on.
02:05:17.980 They just have these collections.
02:05:18.780 They have like six words they use, and they just apply them to everything.
02:05:21.760 Yes.
02:05:22.320 I will say, Pat, it's a lesson that many will need to learn.
02:05:26.580 And these will be hard lessons to learn.
02:05:29.360 You are never woke enough.
