Transcript

00:00:00.000 Steve May Smith is weird, man. We got to do this today. I feel like one day he's really good and
00:00:04.920 the next day he makes absolutely no sense. Thank you, Hillary. Here's an uncomfortable
00:00:09.080 question for you. How many times a day would you say that you pick up your phone and scroll
00:00:12.700 through Facebook for at least, let's say, 10 minutes? If you're being honest, it's probably
00:00:16.640 not zero. In fact, it's probably several. And that's fine. No judgment here. I have terrible
00:00:21.600 habits. But you have the time to call American Financing if you have that time. Let's say you're
00:00:27.080 paying 4% or more on your mortgage, which used to be a really good rate. Well, you can get that
00:00:32.280 even lower with American Financing. I'm talking to American Financing right now about refinancing my
00:00:36.820 home. And we're sorting that out. They're just great. They know everything about the entire
00:00:42.260 process. They can get you the best rates. They work with the best companies. This is the way to
00:00:48.280 do it. American Financing, make sure to give them a call or go to their website. They can save you
00:00:53.380 hundreds of dollars a month or maybe even thousands. American Financing, 800-906-2440
00:00:58.940 or go to AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net. Back with the radio show

00:01:51.620 on Tuesday. Today, there's a lot of stuff going on. One of the things that's just infuriating
00:01:57.620 me right now is this ridiculous rant from Stephen A. Smith, who I go back and forth on. I feel
00:02:02.120 like sometimes the guy is really good on stuff.
00:02:04.020 Yes, exactly. And the next day, he doesn't make any sense at all.
00:02:07.700 Yes. Today's one of those days he doesn't make any sense at all. We'll get into that
00:02:11.800 in 60 seconds.

00:02:51.060 On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true
00:02:56.580 events. You are an American spy. What? Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey
00:03:02.280 of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East and his wife's courage to never give up
00:03:08.080 on him. This is terrorism. When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
00:03:13.020 I came here to plead for his life. Starring Jim Caviezel.
00:03:16.400 Do your job.
00:03:17.940 See Infidel. Only in theaters September 18th.
00:03:21.080 Pat and Stu here for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Pat, I'm at the point now where these
00:03:36.760 stories come out in the media and I don't even know how to detect what is controversial about them.
00:03:43.920 They come out and everyone starts tweeting about them and everyone's pissed off and I read the story
00:03:49.120 and I don't even know, I can't even detect what the thing of the day is we're supposed to be upset
00:03:54.060 about. Yeah. One of these stories, I had this story put in front of me yesterday that Steve Nash,
00:04:00.040 the former multi-time MVP of the league in the NBA, had... Hall of Fame member. Hall of Fame member.
00:04:07.800 Received, you know, he was awarded the coaching job, a head coaching job with the new Brooklyn Nets,
00:04:12.480 not the New Jersey Nets anymore, Brooklyn Nets. And it seems like, okay, I mean, if Steve Nash is
00:04:19.380 willing to do an NBA head coaching job, he's going to get an NBA head coaching job. He played the
00:04:25.160 position, point guard, best known for having knowledge of the offense. You're running the team
00:04:32.080 on the court. It's the most direct line to a head coaching job from player, right? And, but it was
00:04:42.180 a controversy. And I was looking at this, I'm like, what's the controversy? Well, the controversy is
00:04:46.900 he's white. And Steve Nash is white, therefore white privilege. Now, if I'm not mistaken, Pat,
00:04:53.440 you might remember this better than I do, but isn't... I feel like Steve Nash is pretty darn woke.
00:04:58.380 Like, isn't he... Isn't he one of these guys that's come out and talked about a lot of these
00:05:02.720 issues before? Seems like it. And has been on the side. I get him mixed up sometimes with Steve
00:05:08.220 Kerr, because all those white guys look alike, and they're both point guards. You racist! Yeah,
00:05:12.880 I know. No, it's okay. I'm only kidding. It's totally fine to say that all white people look
00:05:16.900 alike. I'm only kidding. That's not racist at all. But I know what you mean, because there's
00:05:21.680 like, there's been four white players in NBA history, and Steve Nash is one, and Steve Kerr
00:05:26.280 is the other. Yeah. And I guess that's part of the complaint here from Stephen A. Smith,
00:05:30.580 who's, you know, I go... I really do feel conflicted about. He's like... Stephen A. Smith
00:05:36.500 is like a Law & Order episode. Like, you're watching, and you're like, oh, that murderer
00:05:39.760 definitely did it. And then you're like, oh, no, he's totally innocent. You go back and forth
00:05:43.600 like every commercial break. That's how I am with Stephen A. Smith. We just played a clip
00:05:48.200 of him. That was really good. It was really good. Just the other day, right? Yeah. I swear he does
00:05:52.060 this because he gets praised by the right for these clips, and then within two days,
00:05:56.220 he has to come out with like the most crazy woke thing possible so he can like balance
00:06:00.620 it. So here is his comment on Steve Nash getting the head coaching job of the Brooklyn
00:06:07.200 Nets. Ladies and gentlemen, there's no way around this. This is white privilege. This
00:06:15.360 does not happen for a black man. No experience whatsoever on any level as a coach, and you
00:06:23.080 get the Brooklyn Nets job? How the hell does this always happen for somebody else other
00:06:29.740 than us? Why is it that we have to be twice as good to get half as much? Why is it that
00:06:36.160 no matter what we do and how hard we work and how we go through the process and the terrain
00:06:41.140 of everything? Somehow, someway, there's another excuse to ignore that criteria, to ignore those
00:06:49.660 credentials, and instead bypass it and make an exception to the rule for someone other
00:06:55.940 than us. Pause it for just a sec. Who are we talking about here? Who is the black person
00:07:00.420 that should have gotten the job? Now, if you've got somebody specifically in mind, let us know.
00:07:05.500 Who is it? No, it just has to be a black person. No, it's just any black person at all who
00:07:09.960 wanted the job. I got one. Jacob Blake's dad. Let's put him in charge because he's black.
00:07:15.220 He doesn't like Jews very much, but I don't think they have any Jewish players. Whatever.
00:07:18.300 So that's fine, I guess. He doesn't like white people very much either, but I don't think
00:07:21.500 they have any white players. That doesn't seem to be a worry. So I think that's fine.
00:07:24.740 Yeah. Yeah, because I guess that's the idea. You're right. Where's the... Who are you
00:07:28.040 talking about? Look, there are other qualified black coaches, of course. But Steve, I mean,
00:07:33.300 look, if you were going to take one player out of the NBA over the past 20 years to say would be
00:07:39.900 an easy fit to go from player to coach, it probably would be Steve Nash. He's a relatively short white
00:07:48.240 guy that won two MVPs as a point guard. Yeah. Like he's the most obvious guy. And it was either him
00:07:54.880 or Steve Kerr that played with Michael Jordan on the Bulls championship team. One of the two.
00:07:59.620 We don't know. Actually played with Michael Jordan. One played with Jordan. But I mean,
00:08:03.960 like this is a bizarre argument. It is really weird. Okay. But you're right. No, no specifics.
00:08:09.360 I'm sure we could name plenty of African-American players. But I don't think he does. I don't think
00:08:13.520 he does. It just can't be a white guy. It seems to be the answer here. But Dan, I think he does
00:08:19.280 kind of qualify that. Yeah. Let's see this.
00:08:24.020 Continue with the clip if we have more.
00:08:25.760 Oh, that was it. That was it. That just cut off mid-sentence.
00:08:29.840 Oh, well, I told him to stop at a very good time then. Okay.
00:08:32.080 Because he does go on to say that he deserves the job.
00:08:36.600 Right. Which is strange. Wait. You just said he's got no experience, but he does deserve
00:08:42.060 the job, which we agree with. And you like him and he deserves the job. It's just that he
00:08:49.560 shouldn't have gotten it right now because there's controversy right now about what?
00:08:56.480 White privilege. White privilege. Right. Which is very, very odd. Now, it's funny because
00:09:00.440 as soon as you heard Nash got the job, it was his first head coaching job. You know,
00:09:06.340 he's never been a head coach, which is true. And it is a little strange. It doesn't happen
00:09:10.760 that often. The first thing that popped into my head was the only other guy I could remember
00:09:14.320 it happening to, which was Jason Kidd, who also coached the Brooklyn Nets. And is black.
00:09:20.640 And is black, by the way. Yeah. So his dad is black and his mom is white, I believe.
00:09:25.480 Yes. Which I think that qualifies it. That's the Barack Obama thing. So that makes it okay
00:09:30.500 to say that he's black, I think, in today's world. The bottom line here, though, is this
00:09:35.140 specific franchise did the same thing with a black player before Steve Nash, who would be
00:09:42.320 another person with the same position, point guard, the same profile, right? Maybe not as
00:09:48.640 good as Nash, but it's a Hall of Fame level player. I don't know if he's in the Hall of Fame,
00:09:51.800 but he's a Hall of Fame level player. He was a great player. So this has already happened
00:09:57.180 with the same franchise. And can, like, if there is one world, one arena, one group of people
00:10:09.880 that have no place to complain about white privilege, it's the NBA, where we live in a
00:10:16.900 country with 13% African American, and the league is made up of 75% African Americans.
00:10:23.940 Like, how on earth can you describe that as a league of white privilege? It's almost like
00:10:29.220 white people aren't allowed in it. Right. The only white people that are allowed are from
00:10:32.960 Bosnia. Right. For some reason, only Bosnians can play in the NBA. Germans, Serbians. Yeah.
00:10:39.140 There's, like, four American white people in the NBA right now. Four of them. It's just,
00:10:44.760 I'm going to say, bizarre argument. And has there ever been a moment, Pat, that you sat back and
00:10:49.140 be like, darn it. Why aren't there more white people in this league? Never. This is infuriating.
00:10:55.020 Why? Why? Where are the whites? Never in my life have I considered that. White privilege doesn't
00:11:01.040 seem to extend to that. No. To playing in the NBA. No, which, by the way, are the best jobs. I
00:11:06.580 don't know if anyone, no one grows up and they're like 11 years old going, gosh, I can't wait till
00:11:10.360 I can coach. It'll be great to be able to diagram plays for other people to do. Well, at some point,
00:11:15.740 another person that I know may hit a shot to win a championship. That's going to be incredible.
00:11:20.280 No one is on the court when you're a kid, you know, tossing the ball around and being
00:11:24.620 like, all right. And then standing on the sidelines while they picture another person
00:11:29.340 making the game-winning shot. Everyone wants to play the freaking sport. And by the way,
00:11:33.820 that's where you make the most money, too. It's where you get the highest profile. And
00:11:38.660 it can lead to other things like coaching jobs. But Steve Nash is absolutely qualified for
00:11:43.500 this job, at least by the standards of today, when they pluck players all the time from
00:11:49.120 into coaching roles. Now listen to this, Pat. This is the Brooklyn Nets head coaches. I
00:11:56.020 mentioned Jason Kidd, who happens to be black. And is in the Hall of Fame, by the way. And
00:12:00.640 is in the Hall of Fame. And he deserves it. He's a great player. Next up was Lionel Hollins,
00:12:04.360 who is black. Then Tony Brown, who is black. Then Kenny Atkinson, who is white. Then Jacques
00:12:13.820 Vaughn, who is black. And then Steve Nash. So they've had majority African-American coaches
00:12:21.340 for the past, I don't know, seven or eight years. And then before that was P.J. Carlissimo,
00:12:27.460 another legendary coach. Before him, Avery Johnson, who is black. Like, they've had plenty of black
00:12:36.100 coaches. They've had a good mix. And there's no unique, like, you could say, and I guess this
00:12:40.900 would be the argument. Because if it's not this argument, it has to be racism. But the
00:12:44.600 argument would be that African-Americans, for whatever reason, outperform white players
00:12:48.500 in their abilities, right? There's no other real excuse as to why there'd be five times
00:12:54.480 your population percentage to be in the NBA. It's just that they, it's a merit-based system
00:12:58.860 and they do it better. But there's no reason to believe that that's true with coaching.
00:13:03.900 Like, white people are really, like, there's a lot of white punters. Because it's the only
00:13:08.520 thing we can do in the NFL. We're like, hey, we can punt. And we can play, we can, we can
00:13:14.820 play right guard. And right guard, yes. And right guard. And right tackle. Not all the
00:13:18.140 time, but sometimes we can play right guard. Sometimes, yeah. And we can punt. And maybe
00:13:21.780 tight end. Long snapper. You need a good long snapper, come to white. You got to white
00:13:26.700 guy. That's us, right? So there's, like, four things that white people can do in sports
00:13:30.540 when it comes to athletic ability. But when it comes, like, I always think of it this
00:13:35.620 way. Like, one of the best coaches in the NFL would be Andy Reid. Andy Reid does not
00:13:43.680 strike you as a guy with high levels of current athletic ability. Now, I'm sure he was a good
00:13:51.420 player at one point. But Andy is not exactly a guy you look at and you're like, that guy,
00:13:57.120 wow.
00:13:57.460 He was a good lineman.
00:13:58.480 He was a good lineman, right?
00:13:59.500 From BYU, actually.
00:14:00.620 Yeah.
00:14:00.780 And I think he played in the NFL for a while. But yeah, he's in lineman.
00:14:07.420 The most in-shape person in the world who's a great player wouldn't necessarily have the
00:14:13.960 same skill set to become a coach. It's a different skill set. Now, some people, like Steve Nash,
00:14:20.820 have both. Like Jason Kidd have both. Andy Reid was a player, obviously, at one point. And,
00:14:25.800 you know, he was able to make that transition as well. You know? But like, I just don't,
00:14:32.460 it doesn't, there's no reason to believe. You'd think that coaching would revert back
00:14:36.960 to, because the athletic ability isn't there, coaching would revert back to typical population
00:14:41.980 percentages. Everybody wants to play sports when they're kids. There's not like, it's not
00:14:46.440 like one of these things that's unique to any culture to want to play. Right?
00:14:51.260 Right. Everyone tries to do it. And black players tend to do it better for whatever reason that
00:14:56.100 I don't know. I don't know what a reason is, but it's a merit-based system. And I can tell
00:14:58.960 you that if Whitey did it as well, they would probably get the jobs. But they don't. And
00:15:05.920 that's the thing. Like, what percentage of income coming to players in their major sports
00:15:10.800 go to black players? It's well over 50%. It's probably, I mean, if it's 75% of the NFL,
00:15:16.660 it's probably around 75% of the pay. Though, you know, there's certain players that, you
00:15:21.080 know, quarterbacks make more. Maybe it's in that general vicinity, though, I would
00:15:25.140 think, as far as the total cash. And we have an argument for white privilege? Like, this
00:15:29.860 is objectively insane. It's an objectively insane argument. And yet it's made as if, you
00:15:38.040 know, there's, it's just obvious, of course, it's white privilege.
00:15:40.900 Especially when so many of the Brooklyn Nets coaches in the past have been black.
00:15:45.900 Black. Yeah. It's not like they're discriminating against blacks. They've had black coaches over
00:15:50.280 and over and over and over again. Yeah. It's just a bizarre moment. Stephen A. Smith is
00:15:55.340 one of the, and I guess that's what kind of makes him interesting.
00:15:58.100 Argument, though. Yeah, it is. It's a terrible argument. But I guess this is kind of what
00:16:01.820 like I, you can legitimately turn on, especially in this realm, this sort of sports, sports versus
00:16:07.520 culture sort of realm, that intersection and watch something from Stephen A. Smith. And
00:16:10.880 I have no idea where he's going to come out on it because he just seems to flip a coin
00:16:14.900 in the morning. Yeah. It's just a bizarre, bizarre thing. So, I don't know. White privilege.
00:16:20.300 Just remember, next time you watch an NBA game, what you're seeing is white privilege.
00:16:25.880 Try to make sense of that inside of your brain. Back in a second.
00:16:31.780 All right. Mercury Real Estate. Yes. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:16:38.900 You know, Glenn has had this company for a very long time. He started this after he was
00:16:44.480 trying to sell his house. I think it was in New York, wasn't it? Connecticut?
00:16:47.760 It was the one in Connecticut. Connecticut. Yeah. And he was just having issues trying to
00:16:50.720 sell it. And he was, you know, communication is so important with a real estate agent,
00:16:55.120 especially when you're trying to turn, you know, you're trying to hit a deadline, you're
00:16:58.740 trying to get the best price. And so, he decided, you know what? The thing is, I'm just
00:17:02.660 picking randomly. I think that's what we most, most of the time is what people do is you
00:17:06.320 just pick randomly. You see an ad, maybe they're the people representing the house that you want
00:17:11.340 to buy and you just call them up. Well, that's not the right thing to do when you're talking
00:17:15.940 about your biggest financial transaction. You need to pick someone that you can trust.
00:17:20.080 And so, Glenn's idea was, what if we have a bunch of real estate agents and we screen
00:17:25.100 them and we put the best ones on this website, people can join up and contact those people
00:17:29.720 so you have the best agent in your area and it's really easy. That's what this is.
00:17:33.940 Realestateagentsitrust.com is what was the result of that process and it's helped thousands
00:17:38.300 of our listeners. I know that. Help find, you know, the best agent. If you're moving
00:17:42.880 across the country, if, you know, if you've been taken out of your job and decided to move
00:17:46.300 to go to a new job in a new area, you might not know a real estate agent there. Go to
00:17:50.120 realestateagentsitrust.com. Find the agent that's best for you. Realestateagentsitrust.com
00:17:54.900 is the place to go. Realestateagentsitrust.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:18:03.940 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn. On the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:18:22.300 Do you understand this controversy, whether or not Trump encouraging people to vote twice
00:18:29.300 is legal or not? I've never thought that was legal. No one thinks it's legal. But Kayleigh
00:18:36.540 McEnany kind of insinuated it was legal. And even Attorney General Barr said he didn't know
00:18:46.920 if it was illegal. Well, I don't think they're talking about voting twice. That's what the
00:18:51.980 media is saying about the clip. But like, I listened to the Trump clip that started all
00:18:56.040 this. Let's listen to it again. Yeah, I think we have it, right? Do we, Trump encourages
00:19:00.200 North Carolina voters to vote twice? Let's play this and see if he actually does.
00:19:06.620 On your ballots, if you get the unsolicited ballots, send it in, and then go make sure
00:19:13.000 it counted. And if it doesn't tabulate, you vote. If it doesn't tabulate, you vote. And
00:19:17.820 then if they tabulate it very late, which they shouldn't be doing, they'll see you voted
00:19:22.100 so it won't count. So send it in early, and then go and vote. And if it's not tabulated,
00:19:28.580 you vote. And the vote is going to count. You can't let them take your vote away.
00:19:33.500 So he is absolutely not saying you should vote twice. He is suggesting something that is
00:19:38.780 probably not a good idea. It's not probably going to work. If you're going to go to the
00:19:43.440 polls anyway, just go to the polls. Like, don't send in your ballot and then go to the polls.
00:19:47.040 Right. However, what he's talking about... Because if you do send it in, you're not going
00:19:52.300 to know, really, if it was tabulated. Like, his idea is basically you send it in and then
00:19:56.180 you go and check and see if the vote came in. And if it didn't come in, you go and vote
00:20:01.360 in person. But the whole point of sending in the mail-in ballot is so that you don't have
00:20:05.220 to be wait in line and deal with coronavirus concerns is the reason why they're doing this.
00:20:11.000 So if you don't have coronavirus concerns, just go vote in person. So there's no reason to
00:20:15.560 do both of those things. But he is suggesting, however, at no point does he suggest you should
00:20:22.020 vote twice. In fact, he specifically says if it's not tabulated. So basically what he's
00:20:27.180 saying is, if you send in a mail-in ballot and it's not recorded, you could still get
00:20:31.880 your vote in. Now, you know, look, that is going to make the lines very, very long if people
00:20:38.640 are there trying to figure out whether their mail-in ballot counted. If you're going to go
00:20:43.060 in line anyway, just go in line and vote normally. Right? Like, I don't know why you'd send it
00:20:48.520 in. I mean, I can understand ripping it up, shredding, shredding your ballot, and then
00:20:53.680 going in and voting because you don't want someone else to vote for you. That would make
00:20:57.680 sense if you're in one of these states and there are eight or nine of them that are sending
00:21:01.000 out ballots to everybody. If that's you, I mean, and you're going to go in person, you
00:21:05.620 can shred the ballot they send you to make sure no one else votes in your place. I can
00:21:10.880 understand that. But there's no real reason to send it in and vote and then go in and
00:21:14.060 vote again anyway. But he's blatantly not saying. He's specifically saying, go to the polls,
00:21:21.880 find out if the vote counted. If it didn't count, then you vote.
00:21:26.460 Yes. Yes. Specifically.
00:21:28.280 Yes. And Kayleigh McEnany tried to explain that. Here's what she had to say, White House
00:21:34.440 Press Secretary. The president is not suggesting anyone do anything unlawful. What he said very
00:21:40.460 clearly there is make sure your vote is tabulated. And if it is not, then vote. Basically, when
00:21:46.120 you get a absentee ballot and you send it in, there are poll books and it is recorded
00:21:50.560 that you have tried to vote, that you have, in fact, voted. And if you show up at a polling
00:21:54.940 site, they look at the poll book and say your vote's been counted. He wants verification.
00:21:58.760 Democrats want a whole new fraudulent system of mail-in voting, never tried before in American
00:22:03.740 history. And what Democrats are saying to you is, trust us, but don't verify. And what
00:22:08.280 this president is saying is, verify your vote.
00:22:11.060 Okay. So that's, I mean, she's right. That is what he's saying.
00:22:14.940 That is what he's saying.
00:22:15.800 She just said it better than he does. Right? So that's why...
00:22:20.160 Well, her job is spokesperson.
00:22:21.920 Yeah.
00:22:22.260 Right? That is her job to say it better.
00:22:23.860 Yeah.
00:22:24.320 But still, I like, this is one of those controversies that it's just nothing.
00:22:30.340 It's another made-up thing.
00:22:31.260 It's another made-up piece of nonsense to entertain us through the Labor Day weekend.
00:22:35.300 I encourage you not to let it, not to let it distract you from having a good weekend,
00:22:39.780 because this is nonsense. Everybody can hear the words he's saying, and everybody I've heard
00:22:44.640 on the media talking about this is, he's encouraging his people to vote twice. Can you believe this?
00:22:48.440 He's not doing that. He's saying, if your vote didn't count when you send it in early,
00:22:52.920 then you get to vote. But the easiest way to go is just go to the polls if you feel comfortable going to the polls.

00:23:04.360 According to a Forbes columnist, you need to own gold because it is money and it has intrinsic value.

00:23:14.700 So add physical gold, one of the few assets that has no counterparty risk.

00:25:23.900 That's great.
00:25:24.420 I mean, you're welcome.
00:25:27.960 Jeffy, have you seen any neighborhood civil wars breaking out?
00:25:32.940 Is this happening in your neighborhood?
00:25:34.100 Funny you should ask.
00:25:35.300 Because I noticed last week in my neighborhood as I was leaving that there's a guy that put
00:25:40.220 up a Trump sign right on the corner as you leave the neighborhood.
00:25:43.140 And I thought, boy, that takes some guts.
00:25:45.780 That takes some guts.
00:25:46.860 I don't know that I would do that.
00:25:48.460 Put a Trump sign in your yard on a main corner.
00:25:52.400 You know, he's a corner house.
00:25:53.800 Right?
00:25:54.440 Yeah.
00:25:54.620 And not in deep inside the neighborhood.
00:25:57.480 And I thought, boy, that takes some guts.
00:25:59.480 Then, like three days later, I turned down the street and two other houses have Biden-Harris
00:26:05.340 signs in the front yard.
00:26:06.780 So the wars have started, man.
00:26:09.600 The wars have started.
00:26:10.860 People don't know that.
00:26:12.140 This is how the Hunger Games started.
00:26:13.520 I mean, in today's world, like we had the story earlier this week about the lady who got
00:26:18.860 a strongly worded letter from the neighbors because of her Trump sign.
00:26:22.680 Yes.
00:26:23.040 Right?
00:26:23.260 And they just hated her and wanted her to get rid of the sign.
00:26:26.680 In fact, and it's amazing because she's a Mexican-American single mother whose parents
00:26:31.760 are legal immigrants.
00:26:33.460 So, I mean, I guess that doesn't matter if it's a Trump sign.
00:26:36.880 Right?
00:26:37.160 The Trump 2020 sign.
00:26:38.260 It doesn't matter who you are.
00:26:40.200 My wife, Lisa Page, made me do it on Instagram, of course, as she would make me tell you.
00:26:46.420 Posted that.
00:26:46.940 That's the first place I saw it.
00:26:47.780 It was on her feed because it was some local area around here where this letter came in.
00:26:51.620 And it's a letter basically saying, hey, I saw your Trump sign.
00:26:56.160 Just wanted to thank you for being hating immigrants.
00:26:58.760 Right.
00:26:59.080 And hating people like me.
00:27:00.440 This is a loud statement as to what you think about people like me and who you're dating.
00:27:04.700 And it was like this really angry thing.
00:27:06.180 And of course, she didn't realize that she had actually delivered it to a Mexican-American
00:27:10.800 who was a Trump supporter.
00:27:13.060 Just incredible.
00:27:14.160 And that got me.
00:27:15.140 And then that's when I see the Trump sign in my neighborhood.
00:27:17.900 I'm thinking, I don't know that I would do that.
00:27:19.900 I don't know that I put up the...
00:27:21.200 I mean, I barely want to put up a flag anymore.
00:27:24.220 That's crazy.
00:27:25.640 That's crazy.
00:27:26.980 Because that is not America, right?
00:27:32.340 If you can't put up a freaking American flag, and I know you're exaggerating a little bit
00:27:36.240 here, but the Trump thing is legitimate.
00:27:39.160 If you put a Trump sticker on your car, you've got a good chance of it getting keyed.
00:27:42.240 Yeah.
00:27:42.480 And the point is, there's two parts of me on this.
00:27:45.640 One is I want to put every political sign on my car.
00:27:49.180 I want to put pro-life.
00:27:50.420 I want to put everything on there just because I hate the idea that this would be my concern.
00:27:54.940 You'd be angered by it, yeah.
00:27:56.320 On the other side, I realize that no person in American history has changed their mind
00:28:02.000 over a bumper sticker or a sign.
00:28:04.240 I don't know about that.
00:28:05.260 I may have gone to a restaurant or two because of a bumper sticker.
00:28:08.520 Well, yes, advertisement, I guess, does work.
00:28:10.760 But they used to have these signs.
00:28:12.160 I used to always think this was the worst thing in the world down in Philadelphia when
00:28:15.880 I would be on my commute to the studios there.
00:28:19.020 And there would be these signs in the neighborhoods that would say, vote line seven.
00:28:24.940 Yeah.
00:28:25.760 And you're like, wait, vote line seven?
00:28:28.260 You're not even going to tell me what it is or what the name is?
00:28:30.660 Because it becomes just a cultural thing, right?
00:28:34.900 You know, we were driving through a neighborhood in here in Texas, and there must have been
00:28:39.220 an 80 to 1 ratio of Trump to Biden signs.
00:28:43.220 Like, it was one of these big complexes.
00:28:46.300 Every single one, Trump sign everywhere.
00:28:48.380 It was one of these deep, deep red areas.
00:28:50.080 One little Biden-Harris.
00:28:51.540 And then one little Biden person.
00:28:52.700 You're like, look, am I voting for Joe Biden?
00:28:55.900 No.
00:28:56.280 But you'd like the bravery to at least stick the sign in your log.
00:29:02.120 Absolutely.
00:29:02.500 And I felt bad about thinking about this guy putting up his Trump Pence 2020 sign in the
00:29:08.200 front yard on this corner lot.
00:29:09.700 I'm thinking, you know, this is a main road coming out of the neighborhood.
00:29:13.760 I don't know that I would do that.
00:29:15.300 It might be accidentally have, you know, oops, did that brick fly out of the back of my pickup
00:29:20.060 truck up against your house?
00:29:21.760 Sorry.
00:29:22.480 One of the things they're saying now is people are putting signs in areas where they can't
00:29:26.680 be trashed.
00:29:28.260 So instead of putting them out on the corner where you would normally put them, they're
00:29:31.280 putting them in trees.
00:29:33.020 They're putting them behind fences, like hanging over a fence.
00:29:36.180 So you'd have to get out of your car and go all the way up to the house to take down
00:29:39.420 the sign, which is a little bit more difficult to do.
00:29:42.260 That is like, how can this be our country?
00:29:44.740 It's so ridiculous.
00:29:46.220 And it's not the same as, you know, during election season where you have the empty corner
00:29:50.380 lots with 80 signs, you know, vote for this judge, vote for that judge.
00:29:55.060 It's yes on 18.
00:29:58.020 Okay.
00:29:58.600 And they have like, you know, there's 50 signs as you're at the red light.
00:30:02.100 Okay.
00:30:02.460 That's fine.
00:30:03.140 I just thought, I saw a story from Montana where they, it was some guy came onto somebody's
00:30:08.420 property and tore their signs down off of their front porch and then set them on fire
00:30:13.600 in their front lawn.
00:30:14.620 Well, they had their kids sleeping about 10 feet away inside the house.
00:30:18.920 And you don't know when that fire is going to spread.
00:30:22.500 I mean, that just, it's insanity.
00:30:25.880 What people are doing most definitely over a Trump sign, get over it.
00:30:30.100 He's one of the two major candidates.
00:30:31.760 He's the president of the United States, by the way, move on with your life, who hates
00:30:38.220 people and can't stand them.
00:30:40.340 And we know how you, that that's exactly how you feel.
00:30:43.460 And because he hates people, you must now.
00:30:46.040 Absolutely.
00:30:46.480 That's what that sign means.
00:30:47.820 That's what that sign means.
00:30:49.240 Have you seen friends and stuff in your life, relatives that have blown up their relationships
00:30:54.000 over this yet?
00:30:55.200 Have you been seeing this?
00:30:56.040 I don't know about relationships.
00:30:57.060 I mean, with the, the fights and the not talking to each other.
00:30:59.860 Yeah.
00:30:59.980 Well, it's kind of blowing up your relationship.
00:31:01.400 Yeah.
00:31:01.800 I mean, not necessarily.
00:31:03.060 They're never going to talk again, but just like they're, they're at odds and will not speak
00:31:07.660 to each other about anything for a while.
00:31:09.820 That's an amazing development to me.
00:31:12.860 It's like, you know, this, you can only, you can't, you're never going to change someone's
00:31:18.500 mind like that.
00:31:19.460 I talked about this with Jim Gaffigan this week on Stood Us America.
00:31:21.940 Oh man, that guy is.
00:31:22.980 And I, I look, I love Gaffigan.
00:31:24.680 I love the guy.
00:31:25.500 I think he's hilarious.
00:31:26.460 I think he's a legend, right?
00:31:27.740 I think he's great comedian and he's gone for years and years and years avoiding politics
00:31:35.000 because as he said, right.
00:31:37.640 As he said, it was a really good idea.
00:31:39.640 It was a good idea.
00:31:40.220 And what he said was like, I know no one wants to hear about politics for me.
00:31:42.960 I'm not changing any minds.
00:31:44.120 Right.
00:31:44.340 Right.
00:31:44.620 Which is true.
00:31:45.760 So one day he has this sort of like, ah, screw it.
00:31:48.360 I don't care anymore.
00:31:49.380 I got to say something.
00:31:50.480 Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:31:51.420 This is too important.
00:31:52.280 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:31:53.060 Right.
00:31:53.400 And then he rants on social media.
00:31:55.280 So now he's pissed off about half of his fans.
00:31:59.220 A good chunk of them will never go back to, to listening to him again for any reason.
00:32:03.460 I'm not going to.
00:32:04.380 I mean, I don't, I can, I don't care.
00:32:06.600 Honestly, like every, every comedian or actor or whatever sports.
00:32:10.220 I assume are just mega insane liberals.
00:32:13.040 It's a good assumption.
00:32:14.220 Except I didn't assume that about Jim Gaffigan.
00:32:16.480 I didn't assume that.
00:32:17.420 I kind of thought, I mean, if you listen to his, if you listen closely to him, I think
00:32:20.400 what he actually is, is a Midwestern Democrat.
00:32:24.100 Like, I don't think he, I don't think if this was, I don't know, Marco Rubio running right
00:32:30.840 now, I don't think this happens.
00:32:32.260 I think he's one of these people who's been broken by the Trump era, right?
00:32:35.660 Not Trump's fault, but like these people who are on the left cannot be rational around
00:32:40.660 Donald Trump.
00:32:41.160 It's impossible for them.
00:32:42.140 It's impossible for them.
00:32:43.740 And so this is what he is right now, which is not only, I think it's interesting to
00:32:47.880 note that not only is it a waste for him and his career, like it will, I mean, he's, he's
00:32:52.560 a big enough guy that he's, he'll probably be hurt by this, but it's not going to destroy
00:32:55.620 his career.
00:32:56.140 I don't think.
00:32:57.160 Um, but what, what I think on the other side of that is, which is much more important for
00:33:01.520 us because Jim Gaffigan's got millions of dollars already.
00:33:04.820 He's going to be taken care of for a very long time.
00:33:07.400 Much more important for us is to realize how we felt as he was tweeting those things.
00:33:13.240 Did it move us toward Joe Biden?
00:33:16.920 No, no moved us away from him.
00:33:18.840 The more important thing to understand here is how ineffective this tactic is.
00:33:22.800 This tactic of just screaming and ranting and raving like an insane person and saying
00:33:28.520 to everyone who's on the other side, Hey, idiots, you're a bunch of morons.
00:33:33.180 You know, you're, this guy's a thief, a liar, a scam artist, whatever.
00:33:36.640 It doesn't work.
00:33:38.280 Forget the fact that it's dumb and it's wrong and all of the other things.
00:33:41.540 It's also just not effective.
00:33:43.400 I mean, it's driven us closer to Trump.
00:33:45.520 Right.
00:33:45.860 It's made us less weary of the, well, he's not right here or boy, you know, the, hey
00:33:50.780 boy, he said that wrong.
00:33:51.800 It's like, so yeah.
00:33:53.300 And like, look, when we're all around each other, you know, vent all you want.
00:33:57.040 Right.
00:33:57.260 But if you're actually trying to, to convince someone, which he obviously was, this is just
00:34:04.460 not the way to do it.
00:34:05.480 It actually works against you.
00:34:06.940 And the funny thing about Gaffigan, and you made this point, Pat, is you didn't know what
00:34:13.620 his politics were.
00:34:14.680 Right.
00:34:15.200 And he was a very effective communicator, which is probably if he would have utilized his own
00:34:21.960 platform to talk about these things in a way that was still friendly.
00:34:25.820 He's actually capable of doing it.
00:34:27.880 Right.
00:34:28.080 Right.
00:34:28.280 He is one of the few people who actually could probably convince.
00:34:31.680 Maybe he should have used this voice.
00:34:33.240 Yeah.
00:34:33.900 Talk about Donald Trump.
00:34:35.600 Maybe that would have been more effective, huh?
00:34:37.760 Maybe.
00:34:38.540 I just, I'm at that point now where it's like, anyone I like who I know is a liberal, I've
00:34:44.080 muted them in my brain until November 4th.
00:34:46.820 They're all insane right now.
00:34:47.960 They are incapable of having a normal conversation.
00:34:52.780 They are incapable of having a rational thought.
00:34:56.280 I just, I'll mute them until November 4th and then check back in.
00:35:00.340 Yeah.
00:35:00.840 I, you know, that's a good way to do it and think about it.
00:35:03.700 But then on the same, uh, the same hand, you're looking forward to, uh, sports firing back
00:35:10.720 up or at least football firing back up.
00:35:12.760 And we saw that the way that's going to be in our face with the NFL president with the
00:35:18.300 NFL, it will be really bad.
00:35:20.160 It's going to be ugly with the, uh, it's going to be the first weekend of the NFL.
00:35:24.600 It's going to be ugly.
00:35:25.700 Yeah.
00:35:26.640 Ugly.
00:35:27.040 And you know, okay, I think I'm just going to avoid the first weekend.
00:35:30.640 And I don't know what's going to happen with, with college football.
00:35:32.940 I mean, we're looking like we're going to have some kind of season, whether it be abbreviated
00:35:36.920 or not, but all the teams, all the players are on board.
00:35:40.840 I don't know that they get away with it as much, uh, as the NFL will, but it's going to
00:35:46.320 be, it's going to be in, in your face.
00:35:48.140 So how do you mute that?
00:35:49.380 It's, it's tough because you know, we, we always get on, we always bust on Glenn because
00:35:53.480 Glenn's first response.
00:35:55.680 Whenever an athlete does something annoying is to come at us and go, Oh, what do you
00:36:01.340 not care about America?
00:36:02.820 Yeah.
00:36:03.020 You go to every movie.
00:36:04.120 And he goes, and here's Glenn Beck who goes to literally every movie that comes out with
00:36:07.720 every Hollywood celebrity.
00:36:08.820 And all they do is rant and rave about politics.
00:36:12.340 And then in every movie is actually the point of the movie is how bad conservatives are, but
00:36:17.200 he'll go to every one of them.
00:36:18.400 Yep.
00:36:18.800 And I just, you know, his point is, you know, we, as we point out that inconsistency, usually
00:36:24.980 what we do is we change the topic.
00:36:26.500 But what my, my point here is that like, you really can't micromanage this.
00:36:30.200 You have to realize that not only in entertainment, every business you go into, you're doing business
00:36:36.080 with people who are insane liberals.
00:36:37.960 Yeah.
00:36:38.080 Every restaurant you go to one of the cooks who's back there is an insane liberal who
00:36:43.120 thinks black lives matter, uh, should, you know, should take over the government.
00:36:46.600 And Antifa is, is number one in their hearts.
00:36:49.300 And you don't, you don't necessarily know it, but it's happening literally everywhere
00:36:53.500 you go.
00:36:54.060 This is civilization.
00:36:55.020 This is capitalism.
00:36:55.840 Really.
00:36:56.520 It's the point of, you don't have to know and trust every person you do business with.
00:37:00.460 That's the brilliance of capitalism.
00:37:02.240 You just, you have currency, you exchange it with them.
00:37:05.020 Everyone does their little job and you move on with your freaking life.
00:37:07.500 And there's things that I really enjoy about sports.
00:37:09.700 That'd be nice if that actually happened.
00:37:10.600 I know.
00:37:11.000 Wouldn't it?
00:37:11.540 I enjoy sports.
00:37:12.680 I'm not going to let some dumb player who hasn't thought about any of these issues,
00:37:17.480 take it away from me.
00:37:18.980 I'm not, I'm not letting them make that decision for me.
00:37:21.400 I understand why a lot of people are like that.
00:37:22.960 And I, you know, of course, respect you.
00:37:24.380 You know, if you're not getting enjoyment out of it because it's so in your face and you
00:37:28.200 leave.
00:37:28.860 But like for me, I can just turn it off when they're blabbing about this stuff.
00:37:32.420 I'll mute it.
00:37:33.360 I don't have to, I don't have to listen to it.
00:37:34.660 I know these issues.
00:37:35.400 This is what I do for work.
00:37:36.920 I don't need to hear it from some stupid player who's never looked at an FBI crime report.
00:37:41.560 I just don't need it.
00:37:43.800 You know, I like, I'm sorry.
00:37:45.720 You know, we have this thing.
00:37:48.320 Learn, then protest in that order.
00:37:52.000 Wow.
00:37:52.180 That's crazy.
00:37:52.840 Learn, then protest.
00:37:53.920 Another one.
00:37:54.640 Learn, then vote in that order.
00:37:58.060 That's funny that you say that because I started a campaign this week on chewing the fat because
00:38:01.780 they talked about people clicking on links that they get text to them and then it, you
00:38:07.320 know, impermeates your phone and you just get everything.
00:38:10.440 Blows it up.
00:38:10.960 And they're saying, you know, don't click on those.
00:38:13.920 I thought I started a campaign.
00:38:15.500 Think before you link.
00:38:17.500 What do you think?
00:38:18.760 Come on now.
00:38:20.120 Yeah.
00:38:20.440 That's a campaign I can give you.
00:38:21.580 Isn't that going to hurt your side business of spyware?
00:38:24.720 No.
00:38:25.520 No.
00:38:26.440 Okay.
00:38:26.940 So what was that complex process again?
00:38:29.220 How do you, what do you do first?
00:38:30.860 I want everyone to listen to this because this is hard.
00:38:32.220 This is really complicated.
00:38:34.220 Learn, learn, then protest.
00:38:37.000 Then protest.
00:38:37.580 I don't protest and then learn?
00:38:38.760 No, it's got to be this order.
00:38:40.140 Learn.
00:38:40.980 Really?
00:38:41.380 Then vote.
00:38:42.380 Huh.
00:38:43.220 Wow.
00:38:43.900 Think before you link.
00:38:46.780 Powerful.
00:38:47.740 It's powerful.
00:38:48.400 I know.
00:38:49.080 Think about it.
00:38:49.880 Think about it.
00:38:50.780 Think about it.
00:38:51.940 Think about it.
00:38:52.700 So no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on.
00:38:59.420 New music, new podcasts, and the best way to listen, using a pair of premium wireless
00:39:04.920 earbuds, especially if you can get them at less than half the price of the other guys.
00:39:09.120 And I'm talking to Apple.
00:39:10.340 That's why I recommend and use wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:39:14.300 Raycon's newest model, the everyday E25 earbuds, the best ones yet, with six hours of playtime
00:39:20.460 and seamless Bluetooth pairing.
00:39:23.220 You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
00:39:27.640 to focus on what you're listening to.
00:39:29.740 Raycon's E25s also have more compact design than ever.
00:39:33.040 They're stylish, discreet, no wires, no stems hanging out of your ears, ever.
00:39:37.080 Raycon was founded by Ray J and counts celebrities like Snoop Dogg and J.R.
00:39:40.700 Smith among the fans.
00:39:41.820 They offer a 45-day return policy, so give them a try.
00:39:45.840 Yeah, Snoop Dogg, I wear them too.
00:39:47.960 Limited time, 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds at buyraycon.com slash back.
00:39:53.960 Buyraycon.com slash back.
00:40:10.700 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-B-E-C-K.
00:40:16.060 The first major movie since COVID-19 comes out today.
00:40:23.040 Tenet.
00:40:23.580 At least it goes wide.
00:40:24.840 It was already released here in the DFW area.
00:40:27.840 It's been playing for, I think, about a week here.
00:40:29.920 I think that was a pre-release.
00:40:32.060 They did that thing where they're like, previous screenings, it's not out, but you can go see
00:40:35.740 it at any theater.
00:40:36.880 Yeah.
00:40:37.400 Please.
00:40:38.280 Weird.
00:40:38.480 But it costs $200 million to make, and they're thinking like $15 to $25 would be a good weekend.
00:40:47.760 $15 to $25 bucks?
00:40:49.020 $15 to $25 million.
00:40:50.400 Oh.
00:40:50.900 Yeah.
00:40:51.620 Now, Pat and I went to a movie early on.
00:40:54.940 In early May, I think it was.
00:40:56.320 Yes, it was right after the governor said you could open up movie theaters.
00:40:59.700 Yes, and there's one theater opened up around here.
00:41:03.080 Yeah.
00:41:03.500 These poor people who actually, they owned real estate and rented out a theater to, I think
00:41:10.560 it was Regal.
00:41:11.720 And the lease ran out, and they're like, you know what?
00:41:13.680 Let's start our own theater company in January 2020.
00:41:18.140 So they were like, we'll open up and show anything.
00:41:21.120 Yeah.
00:41:21.420 And they did show anything.
00:41:23.040 A really terrible Vin Diesel movie that we went to go see as soon as they opened up the
00:41:26.580 theater.
00:41:26.760 That was a death-defying situation.
00:41:29.240 I don't know how we lived through it.
00:41:30.620 Well, nobody else was in the theater.
00:41:32.300 That might have helped.
00:41:33.080 In any of the theaters.
00:41:34.380 Might have helped.
00:41:34.780 It was just us and this guy who owned the theater.
00:41:37.620 It was really sad.
00:41:42.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:49.580 Everyone, everyone is remodeling everything right now.

00:43:49.080 Yeah, we're just talking about the whole COVID situation, which is like, you know, it's an
00:43:52.900 interesting thing with this movie coming out.
00:43:54.680 They're saying that it's a dangerous activity to go to a theater still.
00:43:59.560 It's high risk.
00:44:00.120 It's high risk.
00:44:01.000 It's in the red.
00:44:01.860 They have a color code that came out in a recent study that says that this is in the
00:44:05.680 red, even if you're silent.
00:44:07.220 Though, obviously, silent is better than a loud protest where you're screaming at someone
00:44:11.740 on an outdoor eatery with your mask on.
00:44:14.560 But, you know, it's one of those things where all you can, I think a lot of people are like,
00:44:20.440 well, if Nancy Pelosi can go out without a mask on, I can do whatever I want.
00:44:25.520 And it's like, well, no.
00:44:27.360 Well, you can.
00:44:28.220 You can, but it would be better to take steps and lower your risk.
00:44:32.480 That doesn't mean you eliminate it.
00:44:33.980 You can't eliminate it.
00:44:34.960 Glenn got in on the middle of a ranch in Idaho, we think.
00:44:38.940 Also, he brought 400 people over his house.
00:44:40.580 But that's a whole different.
00:44:41.540 It's not impossible to get it, right?
00:44:45.700 Right.
00:44:46.180 But you can do the things that you're comfortable with.
00:44:49.180 And I wish the government would be more on that vibe of just saying, like, look, take
00:44:53.100 the steps you can.
00:44:54.160 We have more radio show here in just a second with new unemployment numbers.
00:44:56.900 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:45:22.740 And this is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:29.820 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:45:35.140 New unemployment numbers have come out pretty interesting.
00:45:40.680 What's going on?
00:45:41.660 We'll share those with you coming up in 60 seconds.
00:45:44.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:52.720 So no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on.
00:45:56.080 New music, new podcasts.
00:45:58.300 And the best way to listen, using a pair of premium wireless earbuds, especially if you
00:46:02.980 can get them at less than half the price of the other guys.
00:46:05.780 And I'm talking Apple.
00:46:06.520 That's why I recommend and use wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:46:11.440 Raycon's newest model, the everyday E25 earbuds, the best ones yet, with six hours of playtime
00:46:17.120 and seamless Bluetooth pairing.
00:46:19.580 You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
00:46:24.300 to focus on what you're listening to.

00:46:42.520 Yeah, Snoop Dogg, I wear them too.
00:46:44.640 Limited time, 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds at buyraycon.com slash Beck.
00:46:50.620 Buyraycon.com slash Beck.
00:47:03.280 So we got some pretty good economic news.
00:47:07.220 How dare you?
00:47:08.000 Pretty good.
00:47:08.680 No.
00:47:09.220 No?
00:47:09.480 No.
00:47:09.760 I mean, pretty bad.
00:47:10.620 Pretty bad.
00:47:11.180 Pretty bad economic news.
00:47:12.260 Horrible news.
00:47:13.140 Just terrible, terrible news.
00:47:14.760 All news is terrible until November 4th.
00:47:16.960 Don't you know that?
00:47:17.660 I do know that.
00:47:18.360 That's the rule in the media.
00:47:19.900 That's the one we have to hit.
00:47:20.980 And then it's still going to be terrible depending on who wins.
00:47:22.960 It depends on who wins.
00:47:23.740 Yes.
00:47:24.240 Now, it can still be terrible until January 20th-ish.
00:47:27.660 That's what I'm saying.
00:47:28.200 I love hearing that too.
00:47:30.060 We might not know until Inauguration Day.
00:47:33.780 We might not even know then.
00:47:35.740 Okay.
00:47:36.460 All this stuff has a political angle to it.
00:47:39.880 People were like, you know, Trump's like, the Trump administration has asked all states
00:47:45.840 to be ready for the vaccine on November 1st.
00:47:49.440 All right.
00:47:50.200 Okay.
00:47:50.860 I love that.
00:47:52.360 It's funny because now the left is all anti-vaccine.
00:47:55.780 Now, all of a sudden, everyone on the left has become anti-vaccine because Donald Trump
00:48:00.100 is working on a vaccine.
00:48:01.800 Now, he's not in the laboratories.
00:48:03.340 I don't know if they know that.
00:48:05.020 He's helping to coordinate the efforts, which have been pretty impressive on this.
00:48:09.560 But it does not mean that he's going to be actually, he's not going to be injecting
00:48:13.280 you.
00:48:13.940 If you're in the left right now, don't worry about it.
00:48:15.860 Don's not coming to your house with a needle.
00:48:17.640 Okay.
00:48:17.840 Okay.
00:48:18.120 So just so that.
00:48:18.580 That is a relief.
00:48:19.380 So the unemployment numbers are out.
00:48:21.040 And this is, it is really interesting.
00:48:22.880 Tell me, let me give you this premise first, Pat, and you tell me if you think this is
00:48:27.320 a legitimate premise.
00:48:29.100 The election is coming in November.
00:48:32.440 That part, I think you'd agree with.
00:48:34.480 We lost a bunch of jobs because of the coronavirus situation and we're bouncing back now.
00:48:40.420 Yes.
00:48:40.620 If Donald Trump can bounce that back to the levels we were at before the coronavirus, he's
00:48:46.100 likely to be elected.
00:48:47.160 I would think so.
00:48:48.060 Reelected.
00:48:48.280 Right?
00:48:48.560 Because that would be incredible.
00:48:49.820 That would be, that would be the V.
00:48:50.960 If this was just a, and again, a lot of people have died.
00:48:54.540 I'm not minimizing the COVID situation at all.
00:48:57.340 But if what we have here is a situation that we're hit out of nowhere with a global pandemic,
00:49:03.140 the worst one we've seen in a hundred years, and our economy has bounced back to full levels
00:49:09.160 or close to full levels within, you know, eight months, seven months, that is a really
00:49:16.860 good case for the president to make.
00:49:18.620 Like the president can say that is, he will have a good argument to make to the American
00:49:23.200 people at that time.
00:49:24.820 And so we're seeing these numbers come in now and there is a bounce back.
00:49:28.980 Will it get to those levels?
00:49:30.120 I don't know.
00:49:30.780 Let me give you a couple of numbers here, Pat.
00:49:34.400 Let's go back to a year ago.
00:49:36.540 This is the unemployment rate every month.
00:49:38.940 3.5, 3.6, 3.5, 3.5.
00:49:42.000 Let me go into 2020, 3.6, 3.5, March, 4.4, April, 14.7.
00:49:49.900 So 14.7 is a big jump.
00:49:51.900 A big jump.
00:49:52.760 10 points in one month.
00:49:54.140 That was huge.
00:49:55.000 May drops from 14.7 to 13.3.
00:49:57.480 And by the way, keep in mind, we thought it was going to keep going up.
00:49:59.920 Yeah.
00:50:00.140 It might hit 20 or 30% is what they were saying.
00:50:03.480 Yeah.
00:50:03.800 I mean, when 14.7 came out, there were a lot of calls of north of 20%.
00:50:08.680 The big predictions did not come to pass.
00:50:11.260 14.7 in April.
00:50:12.460 Instead, it went down.
00:50:13.200 Right.
00:50:13.480 13.3 in May.
00:50:15.340 11.1 in June.
00:50:17.620 Wow.
00:50:17.760 10.2 in July.
00:50:19.820 And today's number came out just a few hours ago.
00:50:22.980 8.4%.
00:50:24.200 8.4%?
00:50:26.680 Now, 8.4%.
00:50:27.640 Wow.
00:50:28.160 That's high.
00:50:29.160 High.
00:50:29.700 We were just talking about 3.5, 3.6, right?
00:50:31.460 But when was it 8.4% last?
00:50:34.980 This is fascinating.
00:50:36.240 Just trying to think.
00:50:37.340 8.4 to me still feels really high for an unemployment rate, right?
00:50:41.880 But not after 14.7.
00:50:43.520 Not after 14.7, but it still seems like, okay, we've still got a ways to go.
00:50:46.400 It's pretty high.
00:50:46.840 Yeah.
00:50:47.120 Well, the last time we had an 8.4% unemployment rate was actually 8.5.
00:50:51.880 Barack Obama.
00:50:52.660 In December 2011.
00:50:54.220 Mm-hmm.
00:50:54.560 What I thought was fascinating, Pat, is if you look at this exact...
00:50:58.560 We've had Barack Obama for two terms, right?
00:51:01.220 Yep.
00:51:01.700 And then we have Donald Trump.
00:51:04.180 And Donald Trump comes in, and he's running for re-election.
00:51:06.500 So if we look at the exact same time in Barack Obama's presidency, we'd be a few months before
00:51:12.420 his election in 2012.
00:51:14.680 If you go back to the exact same month, August 2012, as compared to August 2020.
00:51:21.740 Now, remember, no coronavirus in August 2012.
00:51:24.480 In August 2020, the unemployment rate is 8.4%.
00:51:29.260 In August 2012, it was 8.1%.
00:51:32.400 Wow.
00:51:32.860 So he's running...
00:51:33.860 That's amazing.
00:51:34.320 ...right now as almost identical unemployment rate as the brilliant economy of Barack Obama
00:51:40.600 that was praised universally at the time.
00:51:42.340 Should be talking about that.
00:51:42.840 Somebody should be talking about that.
00:51:44.120 And you know what?
00:51:44.760 Next month, he's going to be ahead, probably.
00:51:46.680 Because if this continues to improve, the next month, September 2012, it was 7.8.
00:51:52.800 Same with October for Barack Obama going into his election.
00:51:56.360 7.8.
00:51:56.940 Well, and you remember at its highest, when it peaked, and it was before the election campaign.
00:52:02.660 I think it was in 2010, maybe 2011, somewhere in there.
00:52:05.840 Yep.
00:52:05.960 And it was, if I remember correctly, 9.8%.
00:52:09.560 Yeah, 9.9% in March and April of 2010.
00:52:13.200 And what did he say about that?
00:52:15.360 Well, at least it's not 13% or 14%.
00:52:17.120 Right.
00:52:17.780 15%.
00:52:18.180 Yep.
00:52:18.780 It's not 15%.
00:52:19.720 And that was when we came up with the whole metric of created and saved jobs.
00:52:23.820 Remember that?
00:52:24.460 Yes.
00:52:24.960 The created or saved jobs metric.
00:52:26.940 Which we were like, wait a minute, what is that metric?
00:52:29.060 Well, you just invented that out of thin air.
00:52:31.000 Which they did.
00:52:31.700 Which they did.
00:52:33.040 So 8.4%.
00:52:34.320 Now that's, look, we still, that means we still have ways to go, but we are going in
00:52:38.500 the right track.
00:52:39.040 Let me give you the job loss numbers here.
00:52:41.580 So this is, you know, we bounced around flat here for a while.
00:52:49.260 So we had, let me see, I'm going to look this up real quick, pull this up for you.
00:52:53.600 So this is labor force participation rate.
00:52:58.020 Give you this.
00:52:59.160 So we're at, here we go.
00:53:02.340 Sorry, I'm looking at a bunch of different stats here at the same time.
00:53:06.520 Okay, here we go.
00:53:07.040 Job losses and gains.
00:53:07.900 This is the easiest one for people to understand.
00:53:09.760 Is this the one where we were getting like two, 300,000 people per month?
00:53:13.660 Yeah, exactly.
00:53:14.440 So you have, this is people going back to work, getting jobs.
00:53:20.520 Here we go.
00:53:21.200 So this is going back to September again of 2019.
00:53:24.760 Gained 208,000 jobs, 185,000 jobs gained, plus 261, plus 184.
00:53:31.280 So times are really good.
00:53:32.360 We're doing hundreds of thousands every month.
00:53:34.280 Solid numbers.
00:53:35.000 Yeah.
00:53:35.220 Plus 214, plus 251.
00:53:37.440 That's February 2020.
00:53:39.320 Then the coronavirus thing kicks in.
00:53:40.920 We go minus 1.4 million.
00:53:43.300 Okay.
00:53:43.740 Now that number is massive.
00:53:45.980 Minus 1.4 million.
00:53:47.240 Massive.
00:53:47.680 But there were forced closures everywhere.
00:53:51.760 Which is why April is a little uglier than March.
00:53:54.540 So minus 1.4 million in March, minus 20.8 million in April.
00:54:00.880 Yeah, that was a shock to the system.
00:54:02.520 20.8 million.
00:54:04.160 Almost 21 million people in a month.
00:54:06.320 Yeah.
00:54:06.860 So, I mean, that's rough.
00:54:09.600 However.
00:54:10.140 That's a body blow right there to the economy.
00:54:12.040 Then you go plus 2.7 million in May.
00:54:15.120 So, right after the 20 million lost, the next month we gained.
00:54:19.340 We gained.
00:54:19.860 How many?
00:54:20.460 2.7 million.
00:54:21.660 Wow.
00:54:22.140 Which, again, 2.7 million would be, there's this ridiculous thing, both sides going back
00:54:26.620 and forth, where the left is saying, this is the worst year ever, and the Republicans
00:54:30.820 are now starting to say, this was the best month ever.
00:54:33.860 Yeah.
00:54:34.040 And it's like, well, both of those are ridiculous, right?
00:54:37.000 Like, we're bouncing back, and that's great, but we had a lot of room to bounce back.
00:54:42.640 And the idea that you're going to point this is like, oh, this economy is crashing.
00:54:46.140 I can't believe Donald Trump.
00:54:47.380 I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a little thing we're dealing with right now
00:54:50.320 called a pandemic.
00:54:51.260 It's kind of a big deal.
00:54:51.980 So, we go minus 20.8 million in April, then plus 2.7 million jobs in May, then plus 4.8
00:55:00.460 million in June.
00:55:02.240 Wow.
00:55:02.440 Then, in July, plus 1.7 million, and in August, plus 1.4 million.
00:55:08.460 That's the new number.
00:55:09.720 So, the job losses in March and April were 22.1 million.
00:55:14.180 The job gains since then have been 10.6 million.
00:55:18.100 We've gotten almost half of the back.
00:55:19.180 Basically about halfway there so far.
00:55:21.320 Wow.
00:55:21.560 Now, the negative look at that is to say it's slowing, right?
00:55:25.740 We went 4.8 million, 1.7, 1.3 in the last three months.
00:55:29.720 So, it is the rate is slowing.
00:55:31.500 And if it doesn't pick up, we are not going to get back to full by November, which is
00:55:37.340 ridiculous.
00:55:38.080 I mean, that would be incredible, to be honest.
00:55:39.820 I don't expect that.
00:55:40.880 If you can show real improvement in the economy.
00:55:43.120 But that would be the fee recovery that they're looking for.
00:55:45.120 It would be inarguable, right?
00:55:47.140 If they could get back to even.
00:55:48.240 And that would be nice, to have an inarguable point.
00:55:51.180 So, yes.
00:55:51.940 That would be nice.
00:55:52.660 I don't think we're going to get all the way there.
00:55:54.260 He's got two more months.
00:55:55.280 Trump's got two more months.
00:55:56.120 Because remember, we will not have November numbers by the election.
00:55:59.600 Obviously, it will still be in November.
00:56:01.840 However, I think we get October.
00:56:05.500 Maybe we will even have October numbers.
00:56:07.580 He at least has one more month of September.
00:56:09.340 I don't know if we'll have.
00:56:09.920 I think they'll come out that Thursday, right?
00:56:11.060 We'll have.
00:56:11.760 So, that'll be Tuesday.
00:56:13.420 It will be after, right?
00:56:14.800 Yeah.
00:56:14.980 It's the first Tuesday, November 1st.
00:56:16.300 It'll be after the election.
00:56:16.320 Thursday, yeah.
00:56:16.820 So, we will not.
00:56:17.320 So, he's got one more month here.
00:56:18.700 He could probably tack on a couple million more.
00:56:21.960 And he will have the weekly reports that will have come in before the election.
00:56:26.740 So, he'll have an argument as to, but probably what you're looking at, if we're looking at
00:56:31.540 this realistically, he's probably, Donald Trump is probably going to be telling you
00:56:36.900 the night before the election that he's brought back between 60 and 70% of these jobs.
00:56:42.220 Which is great.
00:56:43.000 Really.
00:56:43.820 Which is, look, it's pretty impressive in a few months.
00:56:46.500 The problem is, some of the businesses that were forced into being shut down are not coming
00:56:52.080 back.
00:56:52.880 And so, neither are those jobs.
00:56:54.120 No.
00:56:54.260 So, you've lost, already in New Jersey, you've lost 30% of all restaurants.
00:56:59.680 Jeez.
00:57:00.340 And they're thinking that might go to 50% before it's done.
00:57:04.340 And New York still isn't open for indoor dining yet.
00:57:08.360 Which is incredible.
00:57:08.780 So, you've got all those restaurants struggling to make ends meet on 25% of outdoor area being
00:57:18.540 filled every day.
00:57:19.640 Well, that's not enough for these guys to make ends meet.
00:57:22.620 Of course not.
00:57:23.220 So, that's why you need...
00:57:25.120 That's the problem.
00:57:25.620 And this is the thing I keep coming back to.
00:57:28.120 The problem, a big problem with this economic argument is that so much of it is in the hands
00:57:34.560 of one of the worst people in our society, Nancy Pelosi.
00:57:38.380 Yeah.
00:57:38.620 Because we had, obviously, we all understand, even most libertarians I've talked to about
00:57:45.180 this, understand and agree that when the government comes to you and says you need to stay home
00:57:50.120 for a couple months, the government needs to step in and make that right.
00:57:54.360 It's almost, it's closer to, it's closer to a eminent domain situation than it is a bailout.
00:58:02.080 Right?
00:58:02.260 It's basically saying, we're going to take this from you.
00:58:04.460 We're going to take two months of your work.
00:58:05.820 Yeah.
00:58:05.940 Here's your compensation.
00:58:06.980 Because we have to do it this time.
00:58:08.200 Because we have to do it this time.
00:58:08.220 And when that's forced on you by the government, then the government's responsibility is to you
00:58:11.340 to make that right.
00:58:12.300 And I think almost everyone agrees that should be...
00:58:15.000 Yes.
00:58:15.240 ...that should happen for a short time.
00:58:18.040 Yeah.
00:58:18.220 Not forever, but for a time, there should be some sort of government exchange.
00:58:26.160 So, that happened, and it did protect, obviously, you know, there's some ability to be able
00:58:32.720 to just pay your way out of these problems for a short time.
00:58:35.100 So, that's what we did.
00:58:36.240 We spent trillions of dollars to make it so it was only 20 million people who were losing
00:58:41.760 their jobs and not 70.
00:58:43.260 Right.
00:58:43.680 So, that has happened.
00:58:46.060 It is also now expiring.
00:58:47.420 If you were on unemployment, you know this.
00:58:49.960 If you're one of those 20 million people, you know this, right?
00:58:52.180 Where you lost your job, the unemployment, they gave you the $600 a week bonus, basically,
00:58:57.880 to cover the fact that they told you that you had to lose your job.
00:59:01.520 And that has now run out.
00:59:04.900 If you were a small business, they gave you money to bridge the gap here.
00:59:09.200 That has now run out.
00:59:11.040 And not everybody got it.
00:59:12.180 And not everybody got it anyway.
00:59:13.440 It was not well run anyway.
00:59:15.380 It was, you know, it was thrown together.
00:59:16.420 It's the government.
00:59:17.420 That's how they do things.
00:59:18.380 This is what happens, right?
00:59:19.000 Not well.
00:59:19.800 So, now that's all expired.
00:59:21.440 The Republicans and Democrats both say that it should continue, obviously.
00:59:26.120 And now Nancy Pelosi isn't even, I mean, she's not even negotiating about it.
00:59:31.580 Because she knows.
00:59:32.340 She holds this in her hands.
00:59:34.360 And if you are one of these people who think that Nancy Pelosi cares so much about people
00:59:38.900 that she won't destroy the economy for a couple of months to get Donald Trump out of office.
00:59:42.680 Of course she would.
00:59:43.320 Of course she would, right?
00:59:44.060 Like, I don't even, I don't know that there's a hesitation in me that says that Nancy Pelosi would.
00:59:48.460 If she's going to have a choice between potentially helping Donald Trump's election and hurting millions of people, I, not every, not every Democrat I would say this about.
00:59:59.520 Nancy Pelosi, I absolutely say it about.
01:00:02.420 She would much more prefer.
01:00:05.720 She doesn't want the economy to come back.
01:00:07.880 Not until November.
01:00:08.580 She doesn't want the jobs to come back.
01:00:09.620 She may, you know, right.
01:00:10.600 Not until November, at least.
01:00:11.680 Right.
01:00:12.260 If they, if they win, she'll be happy to try to bring them back.
01:00:14.980 But this is something where basically Republicans are agreeing with Democrats.
01:00:18.280 Yeah, I know we got to throw trillions of dollars at this problem.
01:00:20.460 And so these numbers may get worse because of what is happening with this government program.
01:00:28.080 Again, like we all realize this is not sustainable.
01:00:31.300 We can't just pay our way out of this forever.
01:00:33.560 However, but to try to bridge this gap is important.
01:00:38.480 And I, you know, look, she doesn't want to do it because she knows it's going to help Donald Trump.
01:00:44.160 So either one thing, one or two things are going to happen.
01:00:46.180 She's either going to not further this government program, which is going to obviously hurt in the short term,
01:00:52.900 or she is going to extract such severe penalties and ask for such crazy crap that we may not want to sign it anyway.
01:01:02.520 Yeah.
01:01:03.220 So it's a tough spot for Republicans right now.

01:01:52.560 What?
01:01:52.940 Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East.
01:01:58.640 Wait a while!
01:01:59.300 And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
01:02:01.920 This is terrorism.
01:02:02.720 When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
01:02:06.380 I came here to plead for his life.
01:02:08.140 Starring Jane Caviezel.
01:02:09.780 Do your job.
01:02:11.380 See Infidel.
01:02:12.640 Only in theaters September 18th.
01:02:14.380 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:02:29.820 888-727-BECK.
01:02:32.380 Just looking at some of the coverage of President Trump's campaigning.
01:02:36.840 It's interesting to me that everywhere he goes, he doesn't wear a mask.
01:02:41.360 And I think that's just an in-your-face to people.
01:02:44.660 Yeah.
01:02:45.080 That maybe doesn't need to be there because if you just wore a mask, you just take that one argument away from them.
01:02:50.960 You know?
01:02:51.220 Right.
01:02:51.520 And it's like, I don't want to wear a mask either.
01:02:53.340 But I do wear where it's required.
01:02:55.900 Like to go to a restaurant, I put on the stupid mask.
01:02:58.840 Yeah.
01:02:58.980 Keep it in my car.
01:02:59.960 Put it on before I go into church because they require it.
01:03:02.800 So, I don't freak everybody out in there.
01:03:06.040 Like, I don't, I wouldn't wear it if everybody wasn't going to be freaked out.
01:03:09.800 But I don't want to freak people out.
01:03:11.860 So, you know, they're going to accuse you of killing their grandmother if you're not wearing a mask.
01:03:17.780 It's just not worth it to me.
01:03:18.960 Yeah.
01:03:19.240 But to him, I think he's just making that point, just jabbing the Democrats a little bit.
01:03:22.900 I think so, too.
01:03:23.480 I mean, and you could argue, I think, correctly that probably the person who needs to wear, in any given situation, needs to wear it least is Trump.
01:03:32.180 Because a lot of times people are tested around him.
01:03:35.500 You know, everyone around him is tested pretty much every day.
01:03:38.980 So, it's, you know, it's a little bit of a blown, you know, blown out of proportion argument with the president.
01:03:44.960 They're like, well, why isn't he wearing a mask at a speech?
01:03:46.960 Well, I don't know.
01:03:47.380 He's at a podium.
01:03:48.200 He's by himself.
01:03:49.100 He's outside.
01:03:50.320 Everyone around him is tested every day.
01:03:52.340 And when you're speaking, you're going to take the mask off.
01:03:54.140 And you're going to take it off, right?
01:03:55.160 Yeah.
01:03:55.380 I would say, like, should they have everyone in the audience wearing masks?
01:03:59.300 I mean, probably.
01:04:00.560 I just don't know what the upside of that is.
01:04:03.020 But I guess they're just saying, hey, you know, do what you want to do.
01:04:06.500 And I guess that's, this is where I think I, the mask thing is interesting.
01:04:11.600 It really bothers some people.
01:04:14.260 Really bothers them.
01:04:15.180 Big time.
01:04:15.280 I will say, when it's 105 degrees outside in Texas.
01:04:17.540 I just wouldn't go to a place where they required me to wear a mask.
01:04:21.100 No way.
01:04:22.060 Because it's too hot.
01:04:23.520 But it doesn't, in normal circumstances, walking around the grocery store, it honestly doesn't
01:04:27.160 even, it's annoying at some level, mostly because I keep forgetting it.
01:04:31.260 It's not that big a deal.
01:04:32.140 It's not that big of a deal.
01:04:33.560 Now, some people, they're, oh, well, I have this ailment or that ailment.
01:04:36.780 Well, then I'm not talking about you.
01:04:38.120 I'm talking about people who, the average person, it's a little bit of an annoyance,
01:04:42.020 but it's not the most, worst thing in the world.
01:04:44.080 That's where I am with it.
01:04:44.920 Yeah.
01:04:45.440 It's an annoyance, but I'll do it because I don't want to make a big thing out of it.
01:04:49.340 I think, though, it's just become this weird cultural statement.
01:04:52.540 It has now.
01:04:53.000 That, like, if you wear a mask, that means you're this, like, you know, you're, on the
01:04:56.620 right, you're this wuss, and on the left, you are God.
01:05:00.640 And it's like, well, this is not a sensible way of handling this, is it?
01:05:06.040 Like, the media has done a real, I think, real disservice by prioritizing the mask over
01:05:14.460 all other things to the extent that it, I would think, if you're on the left right
01:05:18.980 now, you think that if you wear a mask, you cannot get it.
01:05:21.460 You're completely safe.
01:05:22.140 You're completely safe.
01:05:23.200 And that is not true.
01:05:25.060 It does show, like, there's a couple things where it does seem to help.
01:05:28.420 Seems to cut the spread.
01:05:30.660 By about 30%, right?
01:05:32.080 By about 30% in a worst-case scenario.
01:05:34.640 So it might be a little more than that in a normal scenario.
01:05:37.520 However.
01:05:38.080 But that's not huge.
01:05:39.100 No, it's not huge.
01:05:40.280 But it's significant.
01:05:41.300 It's not nothing.
01:05:42.120 I mean, 30% is a big difference.
01:05:44.200 Even if it's just 30%.
01:05:45.520 Some studies have shown more than that.
01:05:47.660 The other side of that, though, is it seems to lessen the symptoms.
01:05:53.240 So, like, you might get it, but you might not get it as badly, as bad a case, because
01:05:57.920 you're not getting the viral load that you would get without the mask.
01:06:01.700 Both of those are arguments for it.
01:06:03.440 If, you know, you have some ailment where you can't wear a mask, well, then, you know,
01:06:07.180 you can't wear it, right?
01:06:08.320 Right.
01:06:09.060 But, like, it does not mean you will not get it.
01:06:11.960 And the media has made this case.
01:06:13.820 It's like, well, you're a good person, and you'll be healthy if you wear a mask, and you
01:06:17.680 will be, you're a bad person, and you'll die if you don't.
01:06:20.300 And that sort of ridiculous reporting has really hurt the situation, I think.
01:06:24.480 Yeah.
01:06:24.780 It's just divided America, too.
01:06:26.340 Yeah, it really has.
01:06:26.680 It can put us at each other's throats.
01:06:28.080 So, summer is still around, and based on the way that 2020 has been going so far, it'll
01:06:39.820 probably be around for another, I don't know, eight or nine months, I would imagine.
01:06:44.200 It'll probably be around forever.
01:06:46.320 One of the things that everybody likes to do that makes the summer actually enjoyable,
01:06:49.660 even in 2020's summer, is grilling out.
01:06:52.680 Well, if you could grow out all year long, wouldn't that be amazing?
01:06:55.240 It's true if you're a proud owner of a Rectech.
01:06:58.240 With its solid stainless steel technology, and its great build, and they also have this
01:07:03.700 smart grill thing.
01:07:05.060 We've talked about this, Pat.
01:07:06.060 Smart grill technology.
01:07:07.520 You can basically go on your phone with an app and have everything done for you.
01:07:12.240 So, even when it gets cold outside, you're going to be able to grill outside.
01:07:14.880 That's going to be amazing.
01:07:16.120 Best of all, while you are having your Rectech out there, doing all the work you can be,
01:07:19.740 wherever you want to be, controlling the perfect temperature from an app on your phone.
01:07:23.520 Rectech, it's sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time.

01:07:55.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn.
01:08:20.620 No, I'm the Glenn Beck Program.
01:08:21.640 888-727-B-E-C-K.
01:08:23.960 The Atlantic has written just an amazing article on President Trump, of course, making him look...
01:08:33.300 This might make him look as bad as anything I've read, because supposedly he's saying super disrespectful things about American soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II and are buried in France.
01:08:48.420 Now, I don't believe this article.
01:08:50.820 I don't believe this for a second.
01:08:53.240 When he was in France in 2018, he was supposed to go to one of the cemeteries where the American soldiers are interred.
01:09:03.740 And supposedly it was raining, and so the helicopter couldn't fly.
01:09:09.300 Now, they say that's not true.
01:09:10.760 That was just an excuse he used.
01:09:12.400 And then he said the Secret Service refused to drive him there, and they're saying that's not true.
01:09:19.580 But what they're saying is true is that President Trump said, why should I go to that cemetery?
01:09:24.880 It's filled with losers.
01:09:26.720 Come on.
01:09:27.160 I don't believe for a second that Donald Trump said that, about American soldiers buried in France.
01:09:37.280 That, I just, there's no way.
01:09:40.220 And then they try to spin this as, see, there's evidence that he's done this, because look how he talked about John McCain.
01:09:47.020 Well, John McCain was an adversary, for one thing.
01:09:49.340 He didn't like John McCain.
01:09:50.340 John McCain didn't like him.
01:09:52.060 They both said really bad things about each other.
01:09:54.220 Yes.
01:09:54.580 And Trump, obviously, famously, at the beginning of the campaign, you know, said that, you know, why is he such a hero?
01:10:02.800 You know, what was it?
01:10:04.280 I respect people who don't get caught.
01:10:06.060 I like people who don't get caught or don't get captured.
01:10:07.820 Yeah.
01:10:08.320 You know, and he went back and forth with McCain and said all sorts of things about McCain.
01:10:12.200 That's, Donald Trump is capable of saying something bad about any individual he doesn't like.
01:10:17.320 The idea that Donald Trump is sitting around saying, generally speaking, troops that have died in service are losers is, I just don't believe it.
01:10:25.180 Losers and suckers.
01:10:26.540 Now, one thing I do know about, and we all know about, I think, Donald Trump, is he loves his country and he loves the military.
01:10:33.240 Yeah.
01:10:34.040 There's no way he would have said this about American troops.
01:10:36.400 It's completely, and now look, he obviously throws things out a lot that are not necessarily the greatest idea to, you know, as far as, you know, he gets in trouble.
01:10:46.000 He gets himself in trouble.
01:10:46.820 He creates a lot of his own problems.
01:10:48.300 We all know this.
01:10:48.940 But, I mean, the idea that behind the scenes he's sitting here bashing troops as losers is completely inconsistent with everything we know about Donald Trump.
01:10:59.460 I understand that he calls kind of everybody losers, and this is going to be believable to anyone on the left who already hates him, right?
01:11:06.360 And, you know, the Biden campaign is already leaning into this.
01:11:10.040 They did a conference call with, you know, left-wing veterans organization.
01:11:17.740 Tammy Duckworth was on the call.
01:11:19.660 Oh, boy.
01:11:20.240 You know, they're going to try to lean in.
01:11:21.500 They're going to put Tammy Duckworth now out there saying, I fought for this country.
01:11:25.120 I'm not a loser.
01:11:26.000 You know, all this is going to happen now.
01:11:27.560 They're just going to act as if this is true.
01:11:29.840 It's ridiculous.
01:11:30.820 There's been multiple people who have come out on the record and say this is not true from the administration.
01:11:35.260 But there's no way to disprove that someone said something in private when you don't tell us who's – you're not giving us the source of this comment, right?
01:11:45.580 You're not telling us who said it.
01:11:47.860 You're not telling us enough detail to figure out who said it.
01:11:51.520 And everyone who was there that we know was there is saying he didn't say it.
01:11:56.140 So I don't see what you can take out of this in reality.
01:12:00.540 The difference is, of course, the left is depending on something that isn't real, right?
01:12:04.440 They're going to try to just promote him as some troop hater, which, come on.
01:12:09.520 I mean, you think the military is falling for this?
01:12:11.080 Do you think our troops are falling for this?
01:12:12.400 I hope not.
01:12:12.640 If you're in the military out there, are you falling for this?
01:12:14.700 I can't imagine most people who are trying to make their mind up are going to be fooled by this.
01:12:20.100 It's really going to be more of a left-wing fundraising situation than anything else.
01:12:25.060 Because there's no – come on.
01:12:27.580 Come on.
01:12:28.160 I don't buy it.
01:12:29.040 Honestly, if you would have ran this story with someone who is very anti-military in – that's a Democrat in our government, I wouldn't believe it.
01:12:39.680 Let alone Donald Trump, whose main thing he's tried to do over the past couple years is have a giant military parade in Washington, D.C.
01:12:46.060 Like, the guy – like, of all things you're going to accuse him of being anti-troop, it's just silly.
01:12:52.400 It's just silly.
01:12:53.420 Plus, he's increased their budgets.
01:12:55.080 He's increased their pay multiple times.
01:12:57.280 I mean, the guy – his actions – and we've said this a million times – don't pay attention to what he says.
01:13:02.640 Pay attention to what he does.
01:13:04.040 And what he has done regarding the military has been incredibly positive.
01:13:07.980 He's really tried to restore the military to where it needs to be and where it should be because Barack Obama did everything he could to tear down the military and to defund them.
01:13:20.260 So, yeah, it's really hard to believe that he would call them losers and suckers.
01:13:27.020 But they say he has a lot of fear.
01:13:29.060 He doesn't see heroism in fighting.
01:13:31.080 Uh, several observers told me that Trump is deeply anxious about dying or being disfigured, and this worry manifests itself as disgust for those who have suffered.
01:13:42.900 Okay, so we're going into this deep psychological situation that they don't know anything about.
01:13:50.300 They will do and say anything to remove him from office.
01:13:55.280 Anything.
01:13:55.920 And they're doing that.
01:13:56.780 It's incredible.
01:13:58.700 They've lost any connection with these general principles of journalism, of fairness, of honesty.
01:14:08.040 Like, here's what you do if you're a journalist.
01:14:11.480 This is a quick little – let me give you a master class.
01:14:14.240 You know the master class ads you see all the time on Instagram?
01:14:16.440 There's a Stubergeer master class on journalism.
01:14:18.760 Here's how it goes.
01:14:19.620 If you have someone who's saying something like this that is totally against the premise, the idea of, you know, the public-facing idea of who a person is,
01:14:34.080 and they're making this absolutely ridiculous accusation that the president behind closed doors said something,
01:14:43.260 have them name themselves.
01:14:44.740 If you've got four people, get one of them to say who the hell they are.
01:14:50.300 I understand that sometimes people do things off record, and that's an important part of journalism.
01:14:54.240 But with something like this, that's not even policy-based.
01:14:56.920 It's just like, this guy's a bad guy.
01:14:59.700 Can you come up with one person who could back it up?
01:15:03.580 Four unnamed sources?
01:15:05.440 Like, do we even know if they had four unnamed sources?
01:15:08.660 At this point, with the way the media is acting right now, I would question whether they even had anyone.
01:15:16.120 Now, maybe they have someone, maybe they have four people who say it.
01:15:19.580 I don't know.
01:15:20.580 Because you could easily have four people who would make it up, right?
01:15:23.220 This is the problem with unnamed sourcing.
01:15:25.140 We don't know who these people are.
01:15:26.740 We don't know if they just hated Trump from the beginning.
01:15:28.880 We don't know any of it.
01:15:30.000 But, I mean, you can get some value from unnamed sources in certain circumstances.
01:15:33.780 Just like, hey, this guy trashes the military when you're not around listening.
01:15:39.200 He's trashing the military.
01:15:40.520 It's not even a news story, right?
01:15:42.360 If you have something on record, then give it to me.
01:15:45.260 If you don't, it's not even journalism.
01:15:47.720 It's just a bunch of rumors.
01:15:50.240 That's all this is.
01:15:51.640 And there are rumors that are against everything we know about this guy.
01:15:55.480 If you were to tell me that Donald Trump behind closed doors was saying offensive things about some hot woman who passed by,
01:16:02.080 I might believe that, right?
01:16:04.080 That doesn't mean it's journalism.
01:16:06.040 But at least it's consistent with some of the stuff he's done in his life.
01:16:09.360 And you turn this around, you know, like on every topic.
01:16:11.560 You turn this around and make it about Barack Obama.
01:16:14.600 If we started saying that Barack Obama said these things behind closed doors and then acted as if it was absolute fact and spread it around,
01:16:23.300 they'd be calling you racist.
01:16:25.440 Yeah.
01:16:26.280 And irresponsible.
01:16:27.520 And a conspiracy theorist.
01:16:28.940 And everything else that they could possibly think of.
01:16:31.600 It's just another election tactic.
01:16:33.720 It is.
01:16:35.100 And I don't know.
01:16:35.760 Does this stuff move anybody at this point?
01:16:39.600 I feel like probably those who hate him are going to hate him even more.
01:16:44.120 And like, we're not going to believe it.
01:16:46.260 So you're probably right.
01:16:47.380 I think you've hit on that exactly right, Pat, is that this is a tactic that is largely aimed to suck money out of the left.
01:16:55.580 This is not a tactic necessarily aimed at you who might be on the right or you who might be undecided or maybe leaning one way or the other.
01:17:05.920 This is this is to suck money out of, you know, the the typical resistance member that, you know, the person who's tweeting every day about how bad Donald Trump is.
01:17:16.300 It's to to remove more money from them, which in that sense, I don't necessarily mind.
01:17:22.500 Go ahead.
01:17:23.640 Lie and take all their money.
01:17:25.380 The problem is, of course, going to use it in this election.
01:17:28.060 And this is it's just a tactic, though.
01:17:30.600 This is not I mean, I this is not journalism.
01:17:33.020 By the way, this is the place that fired and the guy who fired Kevin Williamson after hiring him after a week because they found in his in his history.
01:17:41.980 He was pro-life.
01:17:45.480 So you got you got that going on for you.
01:17:48.040 He got got he was controversial about keeping babies alive and he got fired for a week for that.
01:17:55.120 But but, you know, we can just throw these things out there.
01:17:57.980 I don't know.
01:17:58.680 Does he is it possible that he said something like this?
01:18:01.900 Well, this is what they're trying to get to people.
01:18:04.080 They're trying to get.
01:18:04.560 Well, maybe maybe he did.
01:18:05.700 Maybe he just put that doubt in your mind.
01:18:07.200 Just a little bit of doubt.
01:18:08.040 I don't think this one's even possible.
01:18:09.320 Give me give me a name on record.
01:18:10.560 Then we'll talk about it.
01:18:11.480 That's at that point.
01:18:12.360 We'll talk about it.
01:18:13.200 But even with that, you're still talking about a rumor.
01:18:16.860 But at least it would be a rumor with a name next to it.
01:18:19.620 You think we get to the debates?
01:18:21.240 You think the debates are actually going to happen?
01:18:22.840 Are they going to find a way to weasel Joe Biden out of these?
01:18:25.740 I tend to think they are going to happen.
01:18:27.940 I hope so.
01:18:29.360 I can't.
01:18:30.080 And it's look.
01:18:30.620 I can't help but think that's going to do a world of good for Donald Trump.
01:18:33.900 That is definitely where I that seems to be the strategy, right?
01:18:36.740 You know, you do what you can get.
01:18:38.440 Keep this thing as close as you can.
01:18:39.600 And in the debates, you crush them.
01:18:41.300 Now, look, Biden has had good debate performances in his life.
01:18:44.300 I bet not in 2020 anymore.
01:18:46.140 Not in 2020.
01:18:46.980 He did not have a good debate.
01:18:48.240 Not really.
01:18:48.860 Not one good one in 2020.
01:18:51.740 No, he looked lost even then.
01:18:53.280 And it's gotten worse since those debates.
01:18:55.720 It seems to.
01:18:56.500 It seems to.
01:18:56.980 Now, back, he's had he had a decent performance against Palin back in the day.
01:19:00.320 He had a decent performance against Paul Ryan, even though, again, his tactics in both of those were incredibly dishonest and awful.
01:19:06.720 Laugh at him.
01:19:07.240 Yeah.
01:19:07.680 Total opposite against Palin, though.
01:19:09.120 Palin was very like he held.
01:19:10.440 He stood back.
01:19:11.600 He stayed calm and rational.
01:19:13.820 Against Ryan, he was attack, attack, attack, attack.
01:19:17.140 He plays his roles.
01:19:18.080 I mean, Biden is a professional politician.
01:19:20.460 He's been doing this for 50 years.
01:19:22.540 So he knows what he's doing in this realm.
01:19:24.900 And I think he looks at it this.
01:19:26.500 I just need to survive this moment.
01:19:28.660 He doesn't need to win.
01:19:29.920 You know what?
01:19:30.200 I was thinking about this.
01:19:30.900 If I'm a Biden strategist right now, if I was the Biden campaign today, what I would be doing is I would be sending Kamala Harris all over the country and raising money and doing all that.
01:19:39.940 Have her take care of that sort of stuff.
01:19:41.660 And what I would do is I would take five different people that were incredibly familiar with Donald Trump and had really studied him.
01:19:48.800 Five different ones.
01:19:49.940 And every day I would rotate through a different Donald Trump impersonator, not impersonator like what he's trying to do his voice, but someone who understands his style.
01:19:57.820 So you have multiple different takes on where he might go.
01:20:00.980 And I would do mock debates every single day.
01:20:05.860 Every day I would be there against a new person who had a different take on Donald Trump.
01:20:10.160 So it would be really difficult.
01:20:12.000 You would have experienced every situation.
01:20:14.760 You know, everything that Trump could throw at you, you'd be at least prepared for.
01:20:19.700 And I would insert crazy things in there.
01:20:22.060 Stuff that's totally out of the realm of normal possibility that he might try.
01:20:25.620 Because that will happen.
01:20:26.760 He could try.
01:20:27.460 He needs to be prepared for everything.
01:20:29.300 And it's like, that's what I would be doing my time.
01:20:31.340 I wouldn't have him out here speaking.
01:20:33.580 None of this matters.
01:20:35.660 Hide until these debates happen.
01:20:38.100 But you need to perform well in those debates.
01:20:39.840 Now, I don't think, I don't, what's interesting, and the reason why I think the debates will happen, is because I think, look, we keep saying Joe Biden is out of it.
01:20:49.760 Joe Biden, all these people are telling him what to do, and he's basically a puppet at this point.
01:20:54.020 I think that bothers Biden.
01:20:56.020 Oh, big time.
01:20:56.780 Biden's been doing this for 50 years.
01:20:58.660 He was vice president of the United States for eight years.
01:21:02.180 And it ended only a few years ago.
01:21:04.880 You know, only 2017, in January, he was still vice president of the United States.
01:21:10.100 And I think in Joe Biden's heart, he believes, if I had run in 2016, I would have beat Donald Trump.
01:21:17.040 He does believe that.
01:21:17.880 So, this is a guy who, when his people come to him and say, just don't say anything, just don't debate, just stay out of his way.
01:21:24.680 It's insulting to him, and it pisses him off, just like the Hunter stuff pisses him off.
01:21:28.240 Yes.
01:21:28.740 It's under his skin, and he's still, like, we could say he's still the candidate.
01:21:33.460 He still is the guy who makes the decision at the end of the day.
01:21:36.860 And I think he is, screw you guys, I'll go out there, debate him, and I'll kick his ass.
01:21:41.960 I think that's what Biden thinks.
01:21:43.400 And it's going to make him vulnerable.
01:21:44.720 Even though Nancy Pelosi tried to help him out.
01:21:46.680 Yeah.
01:21:46.840 And said, don't tell Joe I said this, because he'll be really mad.
01:21:50.360 Yeah, yeah.
01:21:51.260 But there should be no debates.
01:21:52.980 And you saw his reaction to that.
01:21:54.340 Yeah, he just pissed.
01:21:54.700 It was like, we're no, shut up, basically.
01:21:56.920 Like, I'm the candidate, I'll decide if I want to do these debates.
01:22:00.120 And he wants to do them.
01:22:01.440 He wants to prove to everyone.
01:22:03.460 You know, he's like that boxer who's ahead on points, and wants to come out and try to
01:22:07.800 knock that guy out in the last round, and winds up getting hit with a right cross.
01:22:11.080 You know, that is who Biden is.
01:22:12.560 And everyone in his corner is saying, just stay away.
01:22:17.740 Apollo Creed, just stay the hell away from him.
01:22:20.680 What's he going to do?
01:22:22.120 And, you know, there's Rocky Balboa with a big left.
01:22:25.120 I mean, that is really where, at least they see that they are right now.
01:22:30.160 And I think Biden wants to talk his way into a knockout.
01:22:34.640 And that's dangerous, man.
01:22:36.300 And we'll see what happens.
01:22:37.360 September 29th is the first one, just a little over three weeks away.
01:22:40.440 Wow.
01:22:41.260 Three weeks.
01:22:42.240 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:23:33.820 It's almost an international incident.
01:23:36.640 I can't give up on it.
01:23:37.580 Let his country abandon him for sharing his beliefs.
01:23:40.740 This is terrorism.

01:23:59.960 Glenn, Glenn.
01:24:01.960 Pat and Stu for Glenn.
01:24:03.040 On the Glenn Beck program, on this Labor Day weekend.
01:24:06.580 Hard to believe it's already.
01:24:07.860 We're already to Labor Day.
01:24:09.940 Is that amazing?
01:24:10.720 Where did the summer go?
01:24:12.320 Incredible.
01:24:13.180 Incredible.
01:24:13.840 I mean, we're now, what, two-thirds of the way through the baseball season?
01:24:17.140 Yeah.
01:24:17.800 Like, that came.
01:24:18.900 I mean, it's only 60 games, but it's there.
01:24:21.100 Football starts.
01:24:21.680 Have you paid too much attention?
01:24:22.260 Have you paid your usual attention to the baseball season?
01:24:24.940 You know, as a fan of America's team, the Toronto Blue Jays, I, there's a, expanded playoffs
01:24:31.200 mean, we've got a shot this year.
01:24:33.400 So, I am kind of watching.
01:24:34.520 So, you are paying attention.
01:24:35.240 I'm watching the games.
01:24:35.460 Do they still have a shot?
01:24:36.420 They're in it?
01:24:36.640 Yeah, they're currently in the playoffs, which, uh, a little bit to do with the fact that
01:24:42.240 they've added several teams.
01:24:43.100 Meaning, if the playoffs were held today, they'd be in them?
01:24:45.360 Yes.
01:24:45.760 Okay.
01:24:46.340 They still have 20 games left, though.
01:24:47.500 I have paid zero attention to Major League Baseball this year.
01:24:50.000 Yeah, you know.
01:24:50.440 As I've paid the exact same amount of attention to the NBA.
01:24:54.220 The NBA is the hardest one to watch.
01:24:55.640 As someone who's tried to watch these sports, the NBA is just a left-wing political organization.
01:25:00.300 It really is.
01:25:00.500 It's unwatchable.
01:25:01.440 It's unwatchable now.
01:25:02.960 Baseball, you know, it's not nearly as much in your face.
01:25:06.160 I think the NFL will be in your face for the first week.
01:25:08.820 At least.
01:25:09.360 They seem to be telling you that it's going to be only the first week.
01:25:11.680 We'll see how that goes.
01:25:13.000 Yeah.
01:25:13.280 We'll see how that goes.
01:25:14.140 Fingers crossed.
01:25:14.740 I know.
01:25:15.220 Well, you should just boycott it.
01:25:17.160 Why don't you just not watch it?
01:25:18.340 Yeah.
01:25:18.780 Well, um, no.
01:25:21.520 If the Eagles go 0-8, then I'll start boycotting.
01:25:27.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:12.460 Just walked up to him and executed him in the street for no reason other than he's a Trump supporter.
01:30:19.700 The guy who said, I'm 100% Antifa.
01:30:23.860 Well, they found him and it wasn't a good outcome for him when he met up with police.
01:30:30.920 We'll get into that.
01:30:32.080 Also, he apparently did an interview with Vice somewhere sometime between when he shot the guy and killed him and when he himself was killed by police last night.
01:30:44.680 We'll get into that coming up in about 60 seconds.
01:30:47.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:30:52.980 So, if you look at some of these Antifa members, you might recognize that they have some shaving issues.
01:30:57.740 Maybe they should start doing it more.
01:30:59.660 I don't know when it became so complicated.
01:31:01.640 You know, you see these sort of commercials for all sorts of products claiming that they're going to make your shaving experience better.
01:31:08.140 When all they really do is clutter up your bathroom.
01:31:10.580 Wouldn't it be nice if you just have one product instead of all these soaps and gels and foams and all the stuff they want you to buy?
01:31:16.180 Well, good news.
01:31:17.540 Shave Secret has got you covered.
01:31:19.080 Shave Secret is a proprietary blend of essential oils and it comes in a bottle small enough to fit in a travel case.
01:31:25.620 I will say the bottle is so small, I don't know how they make any money because it lasts forever and it's a tiny, tiny bottle.
01:31:31.660 It really is amazing.
01:31:33.600 And it will last you a very long time.
01:31:35.400 With Shave Secret, all you have to do is put a few drops on your moist palm of your hand, rub it into the area you want to shave and then go for it.

01:32:19.560 So the Antifa member, 100% Antifa, who shot and killed the Trump supporter the other day,
01:32:27.580 was himself shot and killed last night when police caught up to him.
01:32:32.180 And apparently he went for the gun and I guess he was going to have a shootout with police and he was on the losing end of that.
01:32:39.100 So we lost him.
01:32:40.940 We lost him.
01:32:42.540 But Vice interviewed him.
01:32:45.900 Obviously, before that happened, he had some interesting things to say.
01:32:49.380 Here's what he said.
01:32:50.680 Lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn't even be saying anything.
01:32:55.360 But I feel it's important that the world at least gets a little bit of what's really going on
01:33:00.980 because there's been a lot of propaganda put out there.
01:33:05.380 I had no choice.
01:33:07.160 I mean, I had a choice.
01:33:08.780 I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color.
01:33:12.080 What?
01:33:12.860 But I wasn't going to do that.
01:33:14.840 That's not what was happening.
01:33:16.020 He had no choice?
01:33:17.300 Who was he going to kill?
01:33:18.220 They were just standing there on the street corner.
01:33:20.400 As far as I know, they were both unarmed, right?
01:33:23.340 Yeah.
01:33:23.800 There's some potential.
01:33:26.080 So earlier on in the day, they were shooting paintballs.
01:33:28.660 Did you see this footage where the Trump guys were in the back of the truck
01:33:32.480 and they were shooting paintballs at some of the protesters and they were spraying.
01:33:36.160 I guess they were saying it was pepper spray out of the back at some of the protesters.
01:33:40.340 It appears in one of the videos that the person who was killed may have sprayed a little pepper spray
01:33:47.100 in the direction that you don't die from that, though.
01:33:49.940 That's not.
01:33:50.600 No, it doesn't.
01:33:51.940 That does not mean like it's just an excuse, right?
01:33:54.740 He's trying.
01:33:55.740 Yes.
01:33:56.100 Trying to say that he was innocent and was defending himself when clearly he was not.
01:34:00.120 Clearly not.
01:34:00.700 It was just a murder.
01:34:01.560 Yes.
01:34:02.080 And this is what happens.
01:34:03.420 And you hear you hear his friend or compatriot say,
01:34:08.100 say, there's a couple of them right here.
01:34:11.760 There's a couple right here.
01:34:13.000 And then almost immediately you hear the gunshots.
01:34:16.400 Yep.
01:34:16.700 And they kill him.
01:34:17.980 There's no excuse.
01:34:18.940 So they were hunting them.
01:34:19.940 No justification.
01:34:20.340 They were looking for them.
01:34:22.460 Just really amazing.
01:34:25.440 And I will say this again because it's seemingly lost in the news coverage of these events.
01:34:32.080 There are a lot of people who are saying, well, these Trump supporters shouldn't have been there.
01:34:37.600 Kyle, you know, Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there.
01:34:41.460 And I think there are certain arguments that I would agree with on that front.
01:34:45.260 But I will say this.
01:34:47.420 When we had Charlottesville, what happened?
01:34:51.000 You had bad guy people who were out there.
01:34:55.740 Bad, bad groups of people.
01:34:57.940 On both sides.
01:34:58.880 No, don't you dare.
01:34:59.960 Bad people on both sides.
01:35:00.720 No, all people were good on one side and all people are bad on the other.
01:35:03.580 No, you had one, you know, white supremacist, obviously terrible, out there protesting and doing their thing.
01:35:10.700 Then you had anti-protesters.
01:35:13.840 Antifa were some of them.
01:35:15.200 Some of them were just regular people who were there to say, I don't want this in my town.
01:35:19.880 The bad guys who were there and doing their tiki torch, Jews will not replace us thing.
01:35:27.840 One of them ran over one of the counter-protesters.
01:35:32.700 At no point did anyone say the counter-protesters should not have been there.
01:35:37.280 Including on the right, by the way.
01:35:38.820 That's true.
01:35:39.160 No one ever said, oh, those counter-protesters should not have showed up.
01:35:43.380 They should have been there.
01:35:44.700 Nobody said that.
01:35:45.580 Now, with this, both of these situations in the, it was Portland and Kenosha, right?
01:35:53.840 Yes.
01:35:54.300 The two areas?
01:35:55.360 Yeah.
01:35:55.920 The Portland one and the Kenosha one.
01:35:57.680 No one, everyone's saying, oh, well, those counter-protesters should never have showed up.
01:36:01.720 They basically caused it, they called it on themselves.
01:36:04.720 It's like, well, no, that's not the way this works.
01:36:07.100 You know, this guy murdered a Trump supporter for no reason.
01:36:12.220 Right.
01:36:13.000 And we were all supposed to say, well, it was his fault for showing up to be a counter-protester.
01:36:18.040 It's not what they said about Charlottesville.
01:36:20.120 We can both, we can all pretty much agree here that people like this guy who murdered them
01:36:24.760 were bad people.
01:36:25.900 They're rioting.
01:36:26.680 They're breaking windows.
01:36:27.940 They're terrorizing these communities.
01:36:30.440 Counter-protesters show up.
01:36:32.880 One of them gets killed.
01:36:34.020 Another one gets attacked and then has to fire back.
01:36:36.840 And what we're supposed to believe is it's their fault for showing up as counter-protesters.
01:36:40.680 It's a totally different construct than last time.
01:36:42.960 We just, we just reversed those rules.
01:36:44.760 Last time it wasn't the counter-protesters fault for getting run over by a car.
01:36:48.400 Obviously it wasn't.
01:36:49.980 And the right agreed with that.
01:36:52.400 Now when it happens the other way around, the left just changes all the rules and the
01:36:56.060 media changes all of its rules.
01:36:57.600 It really is frustrating.
01:36:59.080 It's really frustrating.
01:36:59.960 None of this is based on truth anymore, Pat.
01:37:01.800 It's just, what's the feel?
01:37:03.140 I don't know.
01:37:03.700 What can we get away with today?
01:37:05.580 Yeah.
01:37:06.400 It really is frustrating.
01:37:07.240 This whole thing has been so bizarre and so frustrating from the very beginning.
01:37:12.220 Another of those frustrating situations is this poor owner of the Minneapolis salon that
01:37:17.900 rioters set on fire and burned.
01:37:21.120 This woman's business was completely gutted, completely burned, almost to the ground, but
01:37:26.880 it wasn't absolutely burned to the ground.
01:37:30.520 So it was too dangerous, the city said, to allow to stand.
01:37:35.020 So the city went in and tore it down the rest of the way and sent the bill to the owner
01:37:42.900 of the salon for $200,000.
01:37:48.400 This is not the only case of this either.
01:37:50.860 It's happening to several business owners there.
01:37:53.280 I mean, if that's not frustrating and makes zero sense when the woman was in no way responsible
01:38:01.060 for any of it.
01:38:01.940 In fact, she just lost her business because you didn't protect it from the city.
01:38:05.940 The city of Minneapolis didn't protect it from the looters.
01:38:08.920 Yeah.
01:38:09.060 So she lost that to fire, lost her livelihood, and then on top of it, when they tear the
01:38:15.640 building down, they give her the bill for $200,000.
01:38:18.000 Incredible.
01:38:19.240 That's not America.
01:38:20.340 No.
01:38:21.180 You know, and one of these things, I've seen a couple articles.
01:38:23.360 I know Beckett Adams wrote about this in Washington Examiner.
01:38:28.400 And there's been this case from the left, which has basically been, hey, it's just property.
01:38:38.840 Right?
01:38:39.220 Yes, we know they shouldn't be burning buildings down.
01:38:41.500 But you know what?
01:38:41.980 It's not important.
01:38:42.840 That's not important.
01:38:43.900 They have insurance.
01:38:44.720 They'll get their stuff replaced.
01:38:45.840 Yeah.
01:38:46.280 Okay.
01:38:47.100 Apparently, and like part of me said, wait a minute, morally, this is reprehensible.
01:38:52.880 What are you talking about?
01:38:53.540 You don't burn someone's building down.
01:38:55.000 Even at the very least, if they got all their money back for the business from insurance,
01:38:59.100 they'd still have months where they weren't selling their product, months where they had
01:39:03.200 to lay people off, all of these other complicating factors.
01:39:06.700 But in the back of my head, I thought to myself, well, at least at the end of this, maybe they'll
01:39:11.320 be made whole.
01:39:12.620 Apparently not.
01:39:13.620 Apparently not.
01:39:14.520 Quite the opposite.
01:39:15.500 Yeah.
01:39:15.880 Listen to some of this.
01:39:16.740 I thought this was really interesting.
01:39:19.520 Like dozens of other investors whose properties were severely damaged in the May riots, the Kim
01:39:23.480 family was stunned to discover that the money it would collect from its insurance company
01:39:27.300 for demolition won't come close to the actual cost of doing the job.
01:39:31.940 Most policies limit reimbursement to $25,000 to $50,000, but contractors have been submitting
01:39:38.060 bids of $200,000 to $300,000.
01:39:40.820 In many cases, the price of the work is not much lower than the value of the actual property
01:39:44.560 records show.
01:39:45.440 So another one, this is a sports dome retail complex, a different company than the one
01:39:51.760 Pat mentioned in St. Paul had the city hired a crew.
01:39:58.620 They came in because it was an unstable building.
01:40:00.460 They had to knock it down and then presented a bill to the property owners for $140,000 to
01:40:06.460 haul away the debris.
01:40:07.280 Um, this is happening in place after place after place.
01:40:11.920 Uh, another company, um, said they got $125,000 bid, uh, but they only had $50,000 from their
01:40:19.180 insurance.
01:40:20.140 I, you know, big companies will have, uh, insurance that might cover them like a McDonald's or a
01:40:30.060 Wendy's might have insurance that's going to cover something like this.
01:40:32.520 A small business doesn't.
01:40:33.720 A small business is going to wind up having their lives destroyed over something like
01:40:39.320 this.
01:40:40.420 And they will never be made whole.
01:40:42.220 Many of them, and this shouldn't matter, but many of them are immigrant owned and minority
01:40:46.860 owned businesses who likely supported these rallies and riots, uh, at other times and now
01:40:54.240 are paying for it.
01:40:56.140 And none of this is fair.
01:40:57.940 Even if they had political, uh, you know, beliefs that are insane, like some people do.
01:41:03.720 It's still not fair.
01:41:04.640 They should not have their stuff torched for no reason.
01:41:07.680 And I do think this is connecting not only to people in the communities, but also people
01:41:11.560 when it comes to the general election, they're looking at this and they're saying, wait a
01:41:14.240 minute, one of these parties is blatantly, despite their recent denials, blatantly on the
01:41:19.360 side of the rioters.
01:41:21.160 They, I mean, the vice presidential candidate of the United States tried to raise money to
01:41:28.180 get people who are accused of murder, bailed out of jail and successfully in some cases
01:41:35.600 in Minnesota.
01:41:38.180 Yeah.
01:41:38.480 She was raising money to get these people bailed out.
01:41:42.700 Jeez.
01:41:43.620 That is incredible.
01:41:44.900 Unless you want a chaotic world, unless you want, you know, your life to be, uh, you know,
01:41:52.260 some, some, uh, anti, you know, war torn, you know, province of some African disputed territory,
01:42:01.860 you know, like where, where you have whites and blacks fighting each other and you have tribe
01:42:08.320 after tribe going after each other and there's no stable government and no police, unless you
01:42:14.400 want that world in your future, how can you want this?
01:42:19.700 How can you sit there, sit there and embrace it?
01:42:22.560 Whether you like Donald Trump or not, it's hard to imagine a world in which you're like
01:42:27.100 cheering this on.
01:42:28.660 And, and, and, and even you can tell the Biden Harris campaign has realized that this is
01:42:32.660 true and, and now we're trying to back off of it, but we're not idiots.
01:42:35.500 We were all here.
01:42:36.500 Although we all saw you doing it.
01:42:37.620 Biden just said yesterday, uh, let me quote what he said.
01:42:42.440 I think what happened in Portland where one of the Trump guys riding along in vans, inciting
01:42:48.440 responses, shooting rubber bullets, I guess, or paintballs, he doesn't even know what the
01:42:53.480 deal is.
01:42:54.100 Right.
01:42:54.880 Apparently there was someone shot by someone in the crowd with a bullet and killed.
01:42:59.960 So here's Biden blaming, blaming the victim in this particular case.
01:43:07.620 And, and just minimizing, uh, the fact that the guy was killed by this screwball in Antifa.
01:43:17.380 They just will not condemn the things that Antifa do.
01:43:21.040 Still haven't said the name as far as I know.
01:43:22.840 No, they haven't.
01:43:24.160 Remember they went up to a Jerry Nadler on the street and, and he would, he said it was
01:43:28.260 a myth.
01:43:28.980 Antifa was a myth.
01:43:30.240 Right.
01:43:30.360 It's not a myth to this guy who's dead.
01:43:32.160 I don't think I've seen a single Democrat condemn what they're doing or tell them to
01:43:36.340 stop.
01:43:36.740 And that, why is that hard?
01:43:38.080 I don't know.
01:43:38.880 I don't know.
01:43:39.760 Again, like Antifa.
01:43:41.100 Are these your constituents?
01:43:42.120 Are these the people you're trying to please?
01:43:44.200 I mean, there's certainly energy on that side.
01:43:45.660 And maybe they're just trying not to piss off, you know, those groups.
01:43:49.440 But I mean, you know, how often, Pat, did they go after Donald Trump for not, uh, denouncing
01:43:54.920 the alt-right or white supremacist?
01:43:57.520 They still do it.
01:43:58.040 And he, and he did denounce those groups.
01:43:59.560 He did.
01:43:59.740 I don't know.
01:44:00.300 I think he denounced the alt-right as well, but he definitely denounced white supremacists.
01:44:03.540 I remember that, uh, specifically multiple times over and over again.
01:44:08.200 It was never enough.
01:44:09.360 They don't have to do this one time with Antifa.
01:44:11.800 They don't have to do, they don't have to say, you know what?
01:44:13.640 Black Lives Matter, there's a lot of good people who are, who are, who are rallying
01:44:18.480 and, and, and, and peacefully protesting.
01:44:21.000 And I think they should be highlighted more in the news coverage.
01:44:23.980 But I will say, there is a sliver of, of this group that is terrible and they're doing
01:44:28.140 terrible things.
01:44:28.920 They don't even go that far.
01:44:30.220 Because they won't, they'll say, well, we don't like violence, but they won't say
01:44:33.320 Black Lives Matter is, is involved in it.
01:44:35.500 Right.
01:44:35.660 They won't say Antifa is involved in it.
01:44:37.760 They won't say that these groups are doing this all the time in left-leaning cities all
01:44:41.180 over America.
01:44:42.360 Why?
01:44:42.720 This is not hard.
01:44:44.280 You know, I, you can be, you're not going to lose votes by saying Antifa is too violent.
01:44:49.520 There's no way like lose the votes of the Antifa members.
01:44:53.380 I mean, I, most of them just want to overthrow the entire government and they're not going
01:44:57.240 to vote.
01:44:57.720 Most of most of them would be my guess.
01:44:59.860 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K more coming up in one minute.
01:45:03.020 All right.
01:45:09.240 Got something you can do right now.
01:45:10.660 That'll save you a ton of money.
01:45:12.100 You're going to wonder why you haven't done it before, because you're going to see how
01:45:16.080 much money you're saving.

01:46:08.720 That's due for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
01:46:25.600 We were talking a while ago about the one major movie that's finally coming out.
01:46:29.020 It's been what?
01:46:30.200 Is this six months now since we've had a major movie come out?
01:46:34.200 I think so.
01:46:35.260 Yeah, March.
01:46:36.180 It was something.
01:46:37.080 Yeah.
01:46:37.320 March, April, May, June, July.
01:46:39.480 We're in September.
01:46:41.020 Yeah, it's been six months.
01:46:42.420 And today, Tenet starts.
01:46:43.780 And that was a $200 million budgeted movie.
01:46:47.420 So they're hoping for some, you know, maybe they take in some serious money this weekend.
01:46:54.220 But someone has to take this first step, right?
01:46:56.520 Yes.
01:46:56.780 And they're doing it.
01:46:57.440 And I think you would argue, why not hold this until next year?
01:47:03.080 There's no way.
01:47:03.440 Most studios are.
01:47:04.680 Most studios are.
01:47:05.420 They're backing it up until next year.
01:47:06.840 Why take the chance?
01:47:07.880 I don't know why they're taking the chance with this.
01:47:09.540 I mean, someone has to do it.
01:47:10.640 And I'm glad somebody is doing it.
01:47:12.300 Or, you know, it never starts up again.
01:47:14.520 Because it is a very interesting chicken-egg problem here, which is you can't open theaters.
01:47:21.300 All the theaters close.
01:47:22.380 So no one wants to release a movie.
01:47:24.360 And theaters, well, they can open.
01:47:26.120 But if there's no movies to show, no one goes.
01:47:28.040 So why open?
01:47:29.120 Right.
01:47:29.320 And this has been a difficult thing.
01:47:30.680 This is why we talked about this earlier, where Pat and I went to this movie in May.
01:47:33.700 Right after.
01:47:34.400 There's one theater in Texas that was open.
01:47:37.140 It's right near where we work.
01:47:39.100 And Pat and I went.
01:47:39.980 We were the only two people, not in the theater, but the entire building, other than the one
01:47:43.920 owner and the person working the concession stand.
01:47:46.000 Yeah.
01:47:46.960 And it was sad, honestly.
01:47:50.380 It was sad, not only because the Vin Diesel movie we saw was terrible, but also it was just
01:47:57.080 a sad, it was like a wasteland.
01:47:59.040 Yeah.
01:47:59.320 And so what they did when they opened up was to show all the movies that were out in
01:48:04.680 March.
01:48:05.440 This movie, this Vin Diesel movie came out in March.
01:48:08.240 And so they had that on there.
01:48:09.420 They had, you know, a bunch of movies that were like, you know, 1917, which is like more
01:48:13.360 of a Oscar nominated type.
01:48:15.140 It had been out for quite a while.
01:48:16.040 That was there.
01:48:17.680 And over time, there were a few movies that were released by small studios, independent
01:48:22.920 films, but really nothing came out for all these months.
01:48:25.980 So there was somewhat of a drop off at the box office, right?
01:48:28.940 I mean, I noticed that fall a little bit.
01:48:31.820 Yeah.
01:48:31.940 Well, here we go.
01:48:32.540 This is, these are the number, the weekend box office numbers.
01:48:34.980 You tell me if you can detect when COVID started.
01:48:38.180 Okay.
01:48:38.400 I'm not going to give you the dates.
01:48:39.680 You tell me when COVID started.
01:48:41.040 So this is going to be really hard.
01:48:42.140 Yeah.
01:48:42.300 It's going to be really hard.
01:48:43.100 So, 182 million for the weekend, 102, 97, 100 million, 53 million, 4,160.
01:48:54.240 Wait, what?
01:48:57.000 4,160?
01:48:59.700 I'm going to give you a hint.
01:49:00.480 One of those weeks was the first week of the pandemic.
01:49:04.040 Was it the week it went down to 100 million?
01:49:06.560 No.
01:49:06.940 No.
01:49:07.440 No.
01:49:07.740 Oh, good guess though.
01:49:09.220 Wow.
01:49:09.960 Because it did drop.
01:49:11.580 It did.
01:49:12.460 It went from 100 million.
01:49:13.880 Now the first, if you remember, it was March 15th that Donald Trump made the speech, the
01:49:20.140 15 days to slow the spread.
01:49:22.980 That was March 15th.
01:49:24.100 Okay.
01:49:24.640 So that weekend was March 13th through the 15th.
01:49:28.120 That speech was on a Sunday.
01:49:29.820 That weekend, it got cut in half before, you know, we had closed anything, right?
01:49:34.400 I mean, it was, you know, everything was still out.
01:49:35.760 People were just not going out.
01:49:37.080 It went from 100 million to 53 million.
01:49:39.440 And then the next week, 4,160.
01:49:42.180 Then 3,758.
01:49:44.860 Then 4,097.
01:49:47.180 Wow.
01:49:47.600 Then 14,612.
01:49:49.780 Kind of had a little boost there.
01:49:50.920 That was a big weekend.
01:49:51.780 Drop back down to 3,675.
01:49:55.340 5,245.
01:49:57.580 12,000.
01:49:59.300 So now we're into May.
01:50:00.660 Now, we're at May.
01:50:01.640 We're still at $12,000 for national box office.
01:50:05.180 And keep in mind, May is the start of the summer blockbuster season.
01:50:08.500 Right.
01:50:08.980 Now, a lot of this happened for the very few drive-ins that exist out there.
01:50:12.980 There were a few drive-ins, so people were doing that.
01:50:16.280 Then we got into May.
01:50:17.760 And this, I think, is a fascinating story.
01:50:19.860 It would be a great, a great trivia question someday.
01:50:24.760 What movie, in the middle of, in the middle of, of the, what was this year?
01:50:32.300 It was one, two, three.
01:50:33.460 I can only see three here, but had multiple weeks at number one.
01:50:37.040 Oh, yeah.
01:50:37.300 They're skipping weeks.
01:50:38.120 It was six straight weeks at number one for a movie in 2020.
01:50:42.240 The previous one that did six straight weeks at number one was Black Panther.
01:50:46.420 What was the next one?
01:50:47.520 You will win a trivia contest someday by remembering this name, The Wretched.
01:50:52.520 It's a movie that almost no one saw.
01:50:54.660 It made like $50,000 a week, but it was number one for six straight weeks.
01:50:59.500 We've now come all the way back, though.
01:51:00.980 Last week was $12 million in the box office.
01:51:03.140 So we've come back to 12% of a normal weekend.
01:51:08.200 Long way to go, though.
01:51:09.420 Long way to go.
01:51:11.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:51:16.020 We've been talking about a great new startup in Dayton, Ohio, called Tempagenics.

01:52:49.580 Pat and Stu for Glenn.
01:52:50.900 888-727-BECK.
01:52:53.000 We were just talking about some of the numbers that might surprise you a little bit
01:52:56.600 because as far as COVID-19 and the rates of infection and the death rates,
01:53:03.340 it goes back and forth and back and forth on who's done a great job and who hasn't.
01:53:08.280 Of course, New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo, has done such an incredible job.
01:53:15.380 No.
01:53:15.640 I mean, look at him.
01:53:16.400 There's still people alive in New York, aren't there?
01:53:20.160 Well, that's true.
01:53:21.120 There's a few people still left standing.
01:53:23.360 There are.
01:53:23.940 Had he not acted the way he did, there wouldn't be.
01:53:28.160 That's not true.
01:53:29.400 That's definitely not true.
01:53:30.720 He is the worst, man.
01:53:32.540 Oh, and he flaunts it.
01:53:34.360 He flaunts it.
01:53:35.140 So here's a guy who is, without question, there's no question about this,
01:53:40.240 New York has had the worst results of anyone in the world.
01:53:44.880 Now, you can argue a couple of different places.
01:53:47.500 You could argue New Jersey, who has a slightly higher death rate.
01:53:49.840 Yeah, but those all came from New York.
01:53:50.980 But those are all New York cases.
01:53:52.100 Yeah.
01:53:52.500 Right?
01:53:52.740 New York spread it around the entire world.
01:53:54.540 That's the strain around the entire world.
01:53:57.320 Even on the West Coast, right?
01:53:58.420 Even on the West Coast.
01:53:59.040 Don't they find that the California infections are mostly from New York?
01:54:01.500 Mostly New York.
01:54:02.160 You know, Wyoming.
01:54:03.140 Every place in the West Coast.
01:54:05.280 You'd think it would come from the West Coast strain.
01:54:07.700 Nope.
01:54:07.940 Came from New York.
01:54:08.520 He has had more people die in his state than any other state.
01:54:12.880 Right.
01:54:13.140 By a lot.
01:54:14.240 He is overtly, overtly lying about how many people died in nursing homes.
01:54:18.440 And the way he did that was to say that if someone was in a nursing home, got sick from COVID,
01:54:22.680 it got so bad they brought them to the hospital, they're counting that as a hospital death.
01:54:26.980 They are the only state in the union doing so.
01:54:29.080 Well, did they die in a hospital or did they die in a nursing home?
01:54:32.140 Well, you know what?
01:54:33.260 The important thing is not if they die in a hospital, right?
01:54:35.740 Dude, the important thing is where do they catch it?
01:54:39.420 Where do they come from?
01:54:40.960 Okay.
01:54:41.400 Says you.
01:54:42.060 Says me.
01:54:42.600 Says you.
01:54:43.220 And every other state in the union.
01:54:45.000 Okay.
01:54:45.240 Democrats and Republicans.
01:54:46.120 Just you and all the other states besides New York are saying that.
01:54:49.260 He's one of five states, only five, that said, you know what's a good idea is if, let's
01:54:54.340 say we have someone who has COVID, they go to the hospital, they've tested positive,
01:54:58.620 what if we bring them back inside the nursing home to put them around the most vulnerable
01:55:02.080 population among us?
01:55:03.180 That's a good idea?
01:55:03.980 No.
01:55:04.620 Oh.
01:55:05.000 Actually killed thousands of people.
01:55:06.540 Oh, man.
01:55:06.840 Only five states did that.
01:55:08.700 Yeah, but who saw that coming?
01:55:09.720 Nobody saw that coming.
01:55:10.620 Everyone, including the people in his state who run the facilities, who begged him in public
01:55:16.460 letters not to do this.
01:55:18.160 Well, you're acting like old people who live in nursing homes were more vulnerable than other
01:55:24.840 people.
01:55:25.020 That is how I am acting because that is the truth.
01:55:27.600 Huh.
01:55:28.260 That is the truth.
01:55:29.220 Then, in addition to that, he was the only governor, the only state in the union, New
01:55:33.420 York, that prohibited nursing homes from testing, even.
01:55:38.760 Testing.
01:55:39.620 New patients coming into the nursing home.
01:55:41.060 So you're going at your...
01:55:41.980 Why would you do that?
01:55:42.660 You're going to go to the nursing home.
01:55:43.000 Seriously, why would you do that?
01:55:44.260 Well, they said.
01:55:45.580 Luckily, you're asked a question, which they've answered, Pat, which is great.
01:55:48.900 And I think everyone will understand it.
01:55:50.920 They said they didn't want people to be discriminated against based on their COVID-19 status.
01:55:55.620 That's important.
01:55:56.420 And that's important.
01:55:57.700 Is it?
01:55:59.120 You know, is it, Pat?
01:56:00.920 Yes.
01:56:01.200 That's an interesting point you bring up.
01:56:02.440 I hate discrimination.
01:56:03.560 Let me push back a little bit.
01:56:04.540 You know what's the worst thing in the world?
01:56:06.220 What?
01:56:06.740 Discrimination.
01:56:07.280 It's worse than the pandemic?
01:56:08.520 Yes.
01:56:08.900 Wow.
01:56:09.440 Yes.
01:56:09.820 Well, we know that because of the rallies.
01:56:11.320 We do know that because of the rallies.
01:56:12.520 Riots have told us, hey, it's okay to go protest outside during a pandemic.
01:56:17.380 Because there's one thing worse than dying, and that's being subjected to discrimination.
01:56:21.440 Right.
01:56:21.880 And luckily, these riots and rallies have, of course, stopped all racism.
01:56:26.420 All.
01:56:26.600 All.
01:56:26.920 It's all gone.
01:56:28.080 So all of those things are true.
01:56:30.000 He comes out and brags about, I mean, the worst, the most egregious thing he does is
01:56:35.560 comes out and brags about the nursing home number and says he's 34th in the nation in
01:56:40.820 nursing home deaths when he knows that he is the only state that calculated them this
01:56:44.900 way.
01:56:45.480 The actual number, of course, is higher than any other state, obviously.
01:56:48.980 We all know this.
01:56:50.200 He's the one, you know, he's the one with all the bad policies.
01:56:53.560 And he was the one.
01:56:56.160 And they also, the state had the most deaths.
01:56:58.260 So just by a lot of elimination, we know by a lot, by a lot, but double any other state.
01:57:02.880 And number two, I believe, is New Jersey.
01:57:05.360 And those all came from New York.
01:57:06.800 And number, I think it's four or five, is Connecticut.
01:57:09.580 Which all came from New York.
01:57:10.560 Which all came from New York as well.
01:57:12.480 You also look at other surrounding states that have major problems.
01:57:16.180 So, and the funny thing is he'll come out and be like, he's been doing this lately.
01:57:19.400 You know, Donald Trump, he didn't do anything.
01:57:22.380 He didn't ban European travel until it was too late.
01:57:24.720 And we had the European strain.
01:57:26.920 Number one, the European strain.
01:57:30.020 Where did Europe get it?
01:57:32.120 China.
01:57:33.040 So, it's still China.
01:57:34.700 And so, the fact that he wants to blame Europe is just bizarre.
01:57:38.240 He's just, it's just to try to push back and try to make himself in an argument with the president
01:57:43.180 because he thinks it elevates him.
01:57:45.040 Right?
01:57:45.500 Yep.
01:57:45.680 So, I want to fight with the president because I'm Mr. Tough Guy.
01:57:48.540 And the other day, he's throwing around stuff like, if this president comes to New York,
01:57:51.660 you better bring his bodyguards.
01:57:52.880 Which is just a threat against the president of the United States.
01:57:54.920 In fact, he said he should bring an army.
01:57:56.860 Bring an army.
01:57:57.420 Well, you know, the president actually has one.
01:57:59.820 He could bring.
01:58:00.540 Right.
01:58:00.940 And he has bodyguards too.
01:58:01.880 Yes.
01:58:02.240 But threatening the president of the United States used to be something you didn't do.
01:58:06.500 It's crazy.
01:58:06.800 Andrew Cuomo breaking that string.
01:58:08.300 This is amazing.
01:58:08.920 All of these reasons, Pat, are why I've combined all of those together.
01:58:13.680 And the only thing I could do was come up with andrewcuomoisawful.com, which is where
01:58:18.660 you can get your Andrew Cuomo's awful t-shirts, mugs, and masks.
01:58:22.500 Okay.
01:58:22.840 And why did I do that?
01:58:24.500 Because he's awful.
01:58:26.260 Huh.
01:58:26.520 I will say, there was an issue when I, a minor issue when I did this.
01:58:30.920 Uh-huh.
01:58:31.400 Many, many listeners and viewers reached out and said, hey, Chris Cuomo is worse.
01:58:37.460 Okay.
01:58:38.120 And I said, you're right.
01:58:39.180 That's why we also have chriscuomoisworse.com.
01:58:41.440 So, Andrew Cuomo is awful.
01:58:43.020 Chriscuomoisworse.com.
01:58:43.880 The point here, though, is that this guy's had a free ride from the media.
01:58:47.980 You all.
01:58:48.580 From the beginning.
01:58:50.660 Yeah.
01:58:50.940 From the beginning.
01:58:52.120 Yes.
01:58:52.380 And he's been praised.
01:58:54.460 This is, you know, a person who has, after Trump came out and said, okay, we need to
01:59:01.300 ban European travel.
01:59:02.760 Okay.
01:59:03.480 After Trump came out and said, hey, just 15 days to stop the spread.
01:59:07.060 And you can argue, okay, you know, shutdowns, none of us like shutdowns, obviously, here on
01:59:12.860 the right.
01:59:14.240 But, and we certainly didn't like them in Wyoming, right?
01:59:16.920 We didn't like them in Idaho.
01:59:18.300 We certainly didn't like them in places where there was no problem at the time.
01:59:21.720 That is the biggest issue.
01:59:23.600 But New York, New York City, they probably should have done more to lock the thing down.
01:59:27.820 I mean, it was, you know, it was a total disaster.
01:59:30.240 They should have acted faster.
01:59:31.200 And they should have acted much faster.
01:59:32.260 When he was bragging that they weren't going to shut down.
01:59:34.640 Right.
01:59:35.080 Trump did the shutdown.
01:59:37.040 It wasn't until after that, after the European travel ban, after the national shutdown, Cuomo
01:59:43.840 still waited before shutting down New York.
01:59:46.340 He was fighting with de Blasio.
01:59:49.300 De Blasio is saying, we got to not have the, you know, we're not going to have the kids
01:59:51.800 go back to school.
01:59:52.480 We're going to shut down the city.
01:59:53.740 And he said, you know what?
01:59:54.880 Well, I'm the one who would have to do that.
01:59:56.280 And we're not doing it because he's Mr. Tough Guy.
01:59:59.500 And he's, he, I mean, his, there's, it's inarguable.
02:00:03.900 Andrew Cuomo's policies are responsible for thousands of deaths, thousands.
02:00:08.680 And you know what he's going to do?
02:00:10.140 He's going to release a freaking book next month explaining how wonderful he is.
02:00:14.340 And the press is going to fawn all over him for it.
02:00:17.660 Yeah.
02:00:17.820 It literally is about how he handled COVID, right?
02:00:21.860 And remember, like this is when he was getting the bulk of his really wonderful treatment.
02:00:28.080 He released a poster, a colorful drawing, which indicated him in his, in his stupid
02:00:37.820 Camaro on the poster showing what a wonderful job he did by, you know, stopping the COVID
02:00:44.400 mountain and trying to dunk on states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas on the poster.
02:00:51.120 He was selling the poster.
02:00:53.120 Now, of course, at that time, Florida, Texas, and Arizona were increasing in cases.
02:00:58.400 We didn't know how bad the outbreak would be.
02:01:00.560 If you watch Students America, listen to this program.
02:01:03.200 I'm sure you talked about this as well, is that we said, look, we're going to, we're
02:01:08.380 in the middle of a flare up in these cities in the South.
02:01:10.260 However, it's not going to be nearly as bad as what happened in New York.
02:01:14.600 And we outlined the reasons, many of which are that the governor, governors were handling
02:01:20.080 it better.
02:01:20.500 The states were handling it better.
02:01:22.060 You know, DeSantis and Abbott were handling the situation in a more efficient manner.
02:01:28.200 So we went over that, how it wasn't going to be as bad.
02:01:30.540 He was saying like, look at me, ours are, our deaths are at zero and, and theirs are high.
02:01:36.100 Well, you know, when you burn through your entire population and kill off most of the most
02:01:39.380 vulnerable people by intentionally importing COVID into nursing homes, you know, you're
02:01:44.020 going to have a lower death rate later on.
02:01:45.760 The problem is those people are already dead.
02:01:47.560 They can't die again.
02:01:48.540 Although him trying to dunk on Texas, which has 10 million more people overall than 10
02:01:54.540 million, more than New York does.
02:01:57.280 Yep.
02:01:57.640 We have 13,000 deaths here in Texas, 13,000, New York, New York state, 32,567, basically
02:02:06.860 three times, three times as many with a lower population.
02:02:10.160 Yes.
02:02:10.400 With 10 million less people.
02:02:13.560 That's incredible.
02:02:14.540 It really is.
02:02:15.180 It really is incredible.
02:02:17.380 And it's embarrassing.
02:02:19.340 It's embarrassing for the media more because, you know, look, you, you, you figure Cuomo was
02:02:23.700 never honest.
02:02:24.600 He was never competent.
02:02:25.840 He was never a good guy.
02:02:27.740 And he was a guy who of course is going to try to lie to protect himself.
02:02:31.440 He's just like Chris, Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo.
02:02:33.740 You can tell they're in the same family.
02:02:35.520 They will lie at any point to say anything that will benefit them for one split second.
02:02:41.860 If it, the difference is one cent in their pocket or one grain of power, what they will
02:02:48.060 do is lie and lie and lie.
02:02:51.040 If it will just get them one little centimeter down the road towards them having more power
02:02:56.380 or more influence or more fame or another TV hit.
02:02:59.420 That's who they are.
02:03:00.440 They've been that way forever.
02:03:01.460 The fact that the media falls for it, embraces them, promotes them as if they did a good job.
02:03:08.840 Chris Cuomo had a doctor who was prescribing bleach baths and various spices to cure his
02:03:18.280 COVID-19 and then he's on television saying Donald Trump is promoting unproven cures.
02:03:24.220 His doctor, as written up in the media by his wife, was doing all this crap.
02:03:32.360 And not to mention breaking quarantine and all the other things we know about Chris.
02:03:36.380 Both of these guys are so awful.
02:03:39.920 Andrew Cuomo is awful.com.
02:03:41.800 So awful and the media never holds them to account.
02:03:44.820 It really is pathetic.
02:03:45.680 And again, like when you look at deaths per million, here we go.
02:03:48.680 Deaths per million.
02:03:49.680 Number one, New Jersey.
02:03:50.540 Number two, New York.
02:03:51.520 Number three is Massachusetts.
02:03:52.540 Number four, Connecticut.
02:03:53.980 Again, all of those are tied very closely to New York.
02:03:56.400 I mean, that's the whole corridor up there.
02:03:58.100 Without question.
02:03:58.980 The first state you get in the South is Louisiana, who's fifth at 1,080.
02:04:03.080 So remember, New Jersey is at 1,800.
02:04:04.980 New York at 1,700.
02:04:06.640 Louisiana is at 1,080.
02:04:09.460 Go all the way down.
02:04:10.540 You got to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.
02:04:12.540 You get to Texas at 463.
02:04:14.900 So, I mean, we're talking one third the death rate.
02:04:17.340 If you take 1,700 per million is the number for New York.
02:04:20.920 The biggest numbers for countries around the globe, even little tiny ones.
02:04:26.080 San Marino is number one, Pat.
02:04:27.920 The country of San Marino had a very bad COVID problem.
02:04:31.840 I don't know if you know this.
02:04:33.560 I didn't know that.
02:04:34.580 It's very bad.
02:04:35.340 I wasn't aware of San Marino's situation.
02:04:37.500 I'm glad you're making me aware.
02:04:38.840 They had 42 deaths and 735 cases, but no one lives there.
02:04:43.340 So they had a death rate of 1,237.
02:04:46.620 That's even lower than New York's.
02:04:47.980 It's not even close.
02:04:48.840 Wow.
02:04:49.280 It's 33% less, basically, than New York.
02:04:52.740 What was Sweden's, who did nothing?
02:04:54.640 Sweden is...
02:04:55.240 Or very little.
02:04:55.820 As of today, Sweden is at 577.
02:04:58.560 Oh, and everybody has come down on Sweden because they did nothing,
02:05:03.460 and their death rate was higher than the surrounding countries.
02:05:06.020 It's 500-something per million?
02:05:08.260 777, which is good for 10th in the world.
02:05:11.840 Tied with us now.
02:05:12.700 As I told you, I was telling you off the air that we were about to catch them.
02:05:15.180 We just tied them today.
02:05:16.880 So just...
02:05:17.680 And we're going to pass them easily because we're still having about...
02:05:20.260 I mean, look, we're still getting about 1,000 deaths a day here in America.
02:05:22.780 Yeah.
02:05:23.000 This is not at zero.
02:05:24.180 It was 1,078 yesterday.
02:05:25.800 Yeah.
02:05:26.120 Which is, you know...
02:05:27.300 But if you take the weekends into account, it's probably more like 850 a day on average.
02:05:32.560 Still a lot.
02:05:33.580 Still more than we would want.
02:05:34.800 But Brazil is worse.
02:05:37.220 Italy is worse still.
02:05:38.580 Chile is worse.
02:05:39.540 UK is worse.
02:05:40.340 Spain is worse.
02:05:41.280 Belgium is worse than us.
02:05:43.640 And no one really talks about those things.
02:05:45.200 The other part that no one talks about is the fact that tons of these countries...
02:05:49.120 I'm not talking about France and countries that are with developed economies and developed
02:05:53.180 health systems.
02:05:53.780 But countries like Mexico, they have not even come close to quantifying how many people
02:05:58.620 have died there.
02:05:59.600 To give you a sense of this, they have this thing, excess deaths is the way that...
02:06:04.540 At the end of the day, it gives you a sense of what is actually happening.
02:06:07.480 So basically the same amount of people die every year in every country.
02:06:10.720 It's incredibly consistent because it's just, you know, it grows a little bit by population
02:06:15.620 over time.
02:06:16.980 So we have about...
02:06:18.260 I want to say it's about 15% excess deaths this year, which is a big number of people
02:06:22.540 because we're a large country, right?
02:06:24.080 Yep.
02:06:24.320 About 15%.
02:06:25.160 Just in April and May, just April and May, Mexico had 91% excess deaths.
02:06:32.660 Wow.
02:06:33.020 Almost twice as many people died as normal in the entire country of Mexico.
02:06:38.500 Well...
02:06:38.940 So when this is all shaken out at the end, when the scientists look back at this, they're going
02:06:42.580 to find that Mexico had a much worse problem than we did at any point, even at the beginning.
02:06:48.080 Was there a bad outbreak of the heartbreak of psoriasis?
02:06:50.900 Do we know?
02:06:52.120 I mean, it could have been psoriasis.
02:06:53.160 Have you looked into how many varicose veins people had and died from?
02:06:56.920 I have not.
02:06:58.140 I mean, it could have been varicose.
02:06:59.300 Combination skin?
02:06:59.880 Maybe they've...
02:07:00.540 Maybe this has nothing to do with COVID-19.
02:07:02.980 I haven't even looked at dishpan hands, which...
02:07:06.180 They can be dry.
02:07:07.120 They can be clammy.
02:07:08.200 Do they have Dawn down there?
02:07:09.620 I don't know.
02:07:10.080 Dawn is the cure.
02:07:10.700 We know what the cure for dishpan hands is.
02:07:12.960 Yes, we've known that for 30 years, at least.
02:07:14.860 But you're right.
02:07:15.260 I've not even looked into that.
02:07:16.340 Well, then get back to me.
02:07:17.900 Okay?

02:08:44.600 One more really happy note on this stupid virus that we're all so sick of.
02:08:49.500 Another really neat, really fun, apparently symptom of this thing is that your giblets swell up when you get it.
02:08:59.100 Oh, no.
02:08:59.480 Some people's giblets are, you know, swelling up.
02:09:03.680 So, you know, you get the dry cough, you get the fatigue, the fever, aches and pains, and now also the giblet swelling.
02:09:14.180 So that's just fun.
02:09:15.900 Just another fun thing you get to deal with.
02:09:17.720 Fun thing to enjoy for this.
02:09:20.680 And another reason, I really don't want to get it.
02:09:22.400 I really don't want to get it.
02:09:23.340 Yeah.
02:09:23.620 No, I would not either.

02:11:03.960 Pete Talbot here along with my son, Seth, with Relief Factor.
02:11:07.560 And we know people really do want a 100% drug-free supplement that can help with their pain.
02:11:12.740 Dad's right, but we know many are skeptical, so we asked a group of medical doctors to research
02:11:17.360 and then create Relief Factor to help people with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain.
02:11:22.460 And that's exactly what they did.
02:11:24.600 In my 40s, I had an accident.
02:11:26.360 I was in substantial pain.
02:11:28.400 I heard on the radio about the three-week quick start.
02:11:31.620 By the end of the quick start package, I was substantially out of pain.
02:11:35.160 Within three months, I was back to being active and doing the things that I love.
02:11:38.880 Pain from getting older, exercise, or even everyday living can keep you from sleeping through the night,
02:11:44.760 exercising, or going on walks, or even going up or down stairs.
02:11:48.360 Which is why we created the three-week quick start and then discounted it to only $19.95,
02:11:53.200 about a dollar a day, to see if it'll work for you, too.
