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.
00:00:25.260

00:00:33.760
to yours. They've been working for you and not the bank ever since. Whether it's home loans,

00:00:54.480
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,

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

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.
00:05:09.380
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
00:06:01.720
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.
00:11:31.940
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...
00:11:44.440
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.
00:12:16.880
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
00:14:32.300
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,
00:15:20.580
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.
00:15:46.380
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.
00:15:53.020
But not only did it cost an extraordinary amount of money, but it also got you, I believe,
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

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
00:22:46.860
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%.

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.

00:38:02.560
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
00:39:05.860
or call 800-4-RELIEF. 800-4-RELIEF or ReliefFactor.com. Find out all about this offer and feel the difference.
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.
00:49:42.840
A lot of, a lot of the handguns are used as a doorstop.
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
00:55:26.020
The sad truth about this is that is just really hard to do.
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

01:00:59.920
So what the Biden administration would say about what you just said, that it's really hard to
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.

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,
01:18:05.520
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.
01:19:06.280
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.
01:19:36.380
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

01:20:25.480
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...
01:20:45.600
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

A 17-year-old vigilante. Arguably a domestic terrorist.
01:21:18.620
President Joe Biden who used a picture of Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist.
01:21:30.380
There's going to be some accountability coming.
01:21:32.080
White supremacist trials. You've got Rittenhouse.
01:21:37.860
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.
01:21:56.060
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.
01:22:21.140
And I don't know if we ever got the monetary figure there.
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.
01:22:50.120
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.
01:23:04.160
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.
01:23:13.520
They led a New York Times story with him as, like, the main culprit behind January 6th.
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.
01:23:36.700
I bet it's going to happen with Rittenhouse as well.
01:24:02.440
And they're a great company located here in 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.
01:24:31.740
They are people who really support the values of this country.
01:24:37.200
You don't have to sacrifice just because, you know, you might like the company.
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.
01:24:53.740
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.
01:26:02.780
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:26:15.220
We were talking a few minutes ago about the possibility of Gavin Newsom stepping into the
01:26:25.820
We know they don't want Kamala Harris to run in 2024.
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.
01:26:57.300
Workers and employers moved away from the coast to middle of the country and Florida,
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
01:27:17.780
And it's a fascinating change, but one I think you'd have to expect if you went through life
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
01:27:29.880
Second of all, you better have a good real estate agent on both sides of that transaction.
01:27:33.620
And the best place to find that person is realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:27:37.580
You can go there, whether you're moving to a new area or you're selling the house in your
01:27:40.960
area, get the best price on both sides of that transaction with realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:27:46.940
Someone who knows the area, knows the market, and knows how to get the best results for you.
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.
01:28:16.960
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?
01:28:38.480
It's Independence Day, so let's talk about what's going on in America.
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.
01:28:54.200
I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight or join us in California, where we
01:29:06.800
Paid for by Newsom for California governor 2022.
01:29:15.540
Why would that campaign, Newsom for California governor, pay for a Florida ad on the 4th of
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.
01:29:43.080
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.
01:29:47.800
There's no need for him to spend $1 on anything in this race.
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.
01:30:13.920
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.
01:30:22.620
I mean, you know, just a month or so before the polls were saying it was basically a toss
01:30:26.980
He wound up winning by, you know, 8% of people changing their mind.
01:30:35.920
If 8% of their people changed their mind in a democratic state, it was lower than the
01:30:45.200
You know, but he, he's an egomaniac and he wants to be that next option.
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?
01:31:10.920
He was allowing you to live your life too often.
01:31:17.540
That's obviously a reference to the sexual discussions with kindergartners through third
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
01:31:34.120
But we've seen, we've seen some of these hardcore woke books that have been banned from certain
01:31:40.880
No books have been banned, but like we, we all, I don't know if everyone, anyone knows this.
01:31:46.760
Playboy is not allowed in kindergarten classrooms.
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.
01:32:12.500
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.
01:32:28.500
They can figure out how to get a driver's license.
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.
01:32:59.040
No, when, when, when women commit crimes, they are criminals.
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.
01:33:16.440
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.
01:33:29.040
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.
01:33:57.880
Well, I, I guess if, unless you explain it to them, then, uh, you get a different response
01:34:08.280
But people thought that people believe that if your life is in danger, you should be able
01:34:17.220
If you've been raped or it's a case of incest, then most people, I think, feel there should
01:34:27.860
I mean, Democrats are so far out in left field on that.
01:34:33.720
That's what I keep coming back to on, on the abortion debate generally.
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
01:35:06.940
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
01:35:28.800
The average Republican position pushed nationwide all over the place was a 20 week ban for years
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
01:35:58.400
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
01:36:15.640
And he was like, you know, he was, you know, criticized widely for that comment in the
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,
01:36:46.520
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
01:37:01.160
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
01:37:14.440
There is essentially no case where the woman's life is in danger in that way.
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
01:37:53.840
Like you do what you can to try to, to make it work.
01:37:57.560
Probably won't, but you do everything you can to fight for life in those situations.
01:38:04.160
I think we all recognize that's not the appropriate way to go.
01:38:09.440
You have, you have to deliver the baby early where there's no hope.
01:38:15.400
You do what you have to do and you fight for the life of the baby.
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.
01:38:38.460
So one, one thousandth of a percent of abortions are because a woman's life is in danger.
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
01:39:17.120
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
01:39:37.020
And we've talked about all the exceptions at length and we're not, we're the ones that are
01:39:44.600
I think erring on the side of life is always a good concept, but the left won't talk about
01:39:50.800
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.
01:40:09.380
Or during birth, during birth and partial birth, you kill the baby as it's coming down the
01:40:18.360
I mean, collapsing their skull and sucking out the body parts.
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
01:40:55.860
You're going to have to take it out of there anyway.
01:40:57.480
Why not have it come out and then give it up for adoption?
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
01:41:20.400
They started doing it at the same time in the pregnancy before they partially birthed the
01:41:26.700
They just kept the baby entirely in the womb and did it then.
01:41:32.240
Now, obviously the concept here was don't kill the baby a second before it's born.
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
01:41:52.100
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.
01:42:09.400
Ever since he tried the rough greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed.
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
01:42:22.720
They've heard me talk about rough greens on the show.
01:42:25.820
And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.
01:42:32.120
It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
01:42:39.460
My dog was easy from the first time he tried rough greens.
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.
01:43:00.160
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.
01:43:13.300
If you're watching Blaze TV, I'm wearing the 6-24-22 shirt right now.
01:43:29.220
It's the day that they overturned Roe versus Wade.
01:43:32.580
I think it's an important day in our history, one we should remember.
01:43:36.260
Less important day is tomorrow, which is our power hour.
01:43:41.900
For Stew Does America, we do a power hour every once in a while.
01:43:45.000
This is our 500th episode anniversary power hour.
01:43:48.340
Sort of an excuse to drink at work, but it's going to be a great panel.
01:43:51.420
Chad Prather, Sarah Gonzalez, Andrea Heaton, my wife, Lisa Page, will be there as well.
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.
01:44:10.680
YouTube.com slash StewDoesAmerica for all your power hour needs.

Also, if you want the greatest cookie on the face of the planet, just go to kexy.com
01:44:33.840
There was a promise of a strawberry Pop-Tart cookie to be brought in to this show.
01:44:52.880
I will never say you shouldn't get like the chocolate chip.
01:44:56.560
But, you know, a lot of people like those classic cookies.
01:45:04.940
It's surprising when we do these off kind of cookies.
01:45:16.980
I mean, this is like Democratic politicians saying that black people can't get ID.
01:45:34.240
We're also figuring out that Gavin Newsom is a lion sack because everything he said on
01:45:44.440
And I love the part where he gets to join us in California where we still believe in freedom.
01:45:53.640
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.
01:46:02.560
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.
01:46:18.860
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.
01:46:29.800
Every single claim he's made in this ad so far has been a lie.
01:46:51.320
Also, there's a pretty high crime rate in California, in Los Angeles, in San Francisco.
01:47:05.720
These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything.
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.
01:47:30.020
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.

And if you are a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it.

01:49:15.220
So, uh, the campaign between, um, uh, Herschel Walker and, uh, Warlock, uh, I forget his first name.
01:49:45.000
But, um, are there some issues with, uh, with, uh, Herschel right now?
01:49:53.960
Uh, obviously, uh, played for the Philadelphia Eagles, which makes him a great guy.
01:49:59.320
It's not really where he's remembered, uh, I don't think.
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.
01:50:27.660
Don't, don't let everyone know that he had a dark period where he would play for the Dallas Cowboys.
01:50:33.040
But, uh, uh, the Daily Beast has some information that they, our claim is.
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
01:51:08.580
They obviously would never care about such a thing when it comes to Democrats, but they
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
01:51:36.380
And the Republicans would need to win, uh, three of those five.
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.
01:52:00.720
And you might say, well, they can't pass anything with 50 senators.
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.
01:52:22.280
And when it comes to this Senate, you can't blow one of these races.
01:52:27.120
They still have the vice president vote, uh, for the next two years.
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
01:53:03.820
That being said, in this environment, this should be an easily winnable race for any,
01:53:12.340
You know, it really should not be a difficult, it might even be more difficult if it was
01:53:19.560
I mean, the guy is obviously an extremist, you know?
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,
01:53:50.540
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.
01:54:02.540
And, uh, but he's also under, you know, there's a certain amount of scrutiny that happens to
01:54:09.180
And then when you have the democratic party coming up against you, it's a totally different
01:54:17.220
The same thing is going to happen to Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz won a squeaker of a primary, very,
01:54:22.580
He has now gone into the, uh, into the, uh, general in a purple state, a state that obviously
01:54:31.660
Uh, and you have the situation where that's gone back and forth to red and blue, but it's
01:54:38.740
I mean, I, I remember when Donald Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, I'm remembering that
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
01:55:01.140
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.
01:55:12.900
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
01:55:28.660
Is Dr. Oz going to be able to pull that off again?
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
01:55:41.520
So that could be an advantage for him because, uh, there's some great shape and Pat, there's
01:55:48.020
We should know, we should talk about this for a second because this is the Fetterman
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
01:56:22.940
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
01:56:35.860
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
01:56:45.620
Obviously we know Democrats have done that before.
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.
01:56:57.660
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
01:57:07.480
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.
01:57:18.100
This is not, it feels like Biden has been so bad.
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
01:57:33.640
This is a good democratic year for the structure of the Senate.
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.
01:58:03.720
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
01:58:22.200
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.
01:58:37.440
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
01:58:45.940
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
01:58:57.940
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,
01:59:16.720
We just look at what just happened in the Supreme Court.
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.
01:59:36.280
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
01:59:52.200
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.
02:00:19.720
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,
02:00:53.740
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.
02:01:07.240
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.
02:01:14.660
If you suggest, Hey, how about we go without the drop box this time?

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.
02:04:10.820
But the pair had named the company after their cat, which is adorable.
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.
02:04:31.060
I will say this, Pat, and I don't know if this is controversial or not, but I hate white people.
02:04:45.600
Don't even talk to me about male, straight white people.
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.
02:05:18.780
They have like six words they use, and they just apply them to everything.
02:05:22.320
I will say, Pat, it's a lesson that many will need to learn.
02:05:31.160
There's never a point where you win this battle.
02:05:36.220
Eventually, they will come for you, and we will sit here with glee, watching it occur.
02:05:43.520
Even if you're queer, trans, people of color owners.
