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

It's Pat and Stu. Thank you, Pat. In for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program. He'll be back
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

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.
00:03:21.080
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
00:08:25.760
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,
00:14:00.780
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

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.
00:21:28.280
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
00:22:11.060
Okay. So that's, I mean, she's right. That is what he's saying.
00:22:15.800
She just said it better than he does. Right? So that's why...
00:22:24.320
But still, I like, this is one of those controversies that it's just nothing.
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.
00:23:11.180
Owning gold keeps all of your eggs out of one basket.
00:23:14.700
So add physical gold, one of the few assets that has no counterparty risk.
00:23:18.680
You need to speak to Goldline and learn how easy it is to add physical gold to your portfolio,

Is Jeffy still the host of the Chewing the Fat podcast available for subscription right now on podcast?
00:24:54.940
What I want to know is, have you been able to keep the price down?
00:25:00.580
I know you've been fighting for it for a long time.
00:25:04.320
I have another meeting today, but as of right now.
00:25:21.000
And you can get it wherever you get your podcast, Chewing the Fat.
00:25:27.960
Jeffy, have you seen any neighborhood civil wars breaking out?
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.
00:25:48.460
Put a Trump sign in your yard on a main corner.
00:25:59.480
Then, like three days later, I turned down the street and two other houses have Biden-Harris
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.
00:26:23.260
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
00:26:33.460
So, I mean, I guess that doesn't matter if it's a Trump sign.
00:26:40.200
My wife, Lisa Page, made me do it on Instagram, of course, as she would make me tell you.
00:26:47.780
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.
00:27:00.440
This is a loud statement as to what you think about people like me and who you're dating.
00:27:06.180
And of course, she didn't realize that she had actually delivered it to a Mexican-American
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.
00:27:21.200
I mean, I barely want to put up a flag anymore.
00:27:32.340
If you can't put up a freaking American flag, and I know you're exaggerating a little bit
00:27:39.160
If you put a Trump sticker on your car, you've got a good chance of it getting keyed.
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.
00:27:50.420
I want to put everything on there just because I hate the idea that this would be my concern.
00:27:56.320
On the other side, I realize that no person in American history has changed their mind
00:28:05.260
I may have gone to a restaurant or two because of a bumper sticker.
00:28:12.160
I used to always think this was the worst thing in the world down in Philadelphia when
00:28:19.020
And there would be these signs in the neighborhoods that would say, 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
00:28:56.280
But you'd like the bravery to at least stick the sign in your log.
00:29:02.500
And I felt bad about thinking about this guy putting up his Trump Pence 2020 sign in the
00:29:09.700
I'm thinking, you know, this is a main road coming out of the neighborhood.
00:29:15.300
It might be accidentally have, you know, oops, did that brick fly out of the back of my pickup
00:29:22.480
One of the things they're saying now is people are putting signs in areas where they can't
00:29:28.260
So instead of putting them out on the corner where you would normally put them, they're
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.
00:29:46.220
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.
00:29:58.600
And they have like, you know, there's 50 signs as you're at the red light.
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
00:30:14.620
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.
00:30:25.880
What people are doing most definitely over a Trump sign, get over it.
00:30:31.760
He's the president of the United States, by the way, move on with your life, who hates
00:30:40.340
And we know how you, that that's exactly how you feel.
00:30:49.240
Have you seen friends and stuff in your life, relatives that have blown up their relationships
00:30:57.060
I mean, with the, the fights and the not talking to each other.
00:30:59.980
Well, it's kind of blowing up your relationship.
00:31:03.060
They're never going to talk again, but just like they're, they're at odds and will not speak
00:31:12.860
It's like, you know, this, you can only, you can't, you're never going to change someone's
00:31:19.460
I talked about this with Jim Gaffigan this week on Stood Us America.
00:31:27.740
I think he's great comedian and he's gone for years and years and years avoiding politics
00:31:40.220
And what he said was like, I know no one wants to hear about politics for me.
00:31:45.760
So one day he has this sort of like, ah, screw it.
00:31:59.220
A good chunk of them will never go back to, to listening to him again for any reason.
00:32:06.600
Honestly, like every, every comedian or actor or whatever sports.
00:32:14.220
Except I didn't assume that about Jim Gaffigan.
00:32:17.420
I kind of thought, I mean, if you listen to his, if you listen closely to him, I think
00:32:24.100
Like, I don't think he, I don't think if this was, I don't know, Marco Rubio running right
00:32:32.260
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
00:32:43.740
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
00:32:57.160
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.
00:33:18.840
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.
00:33:38.280
Forget the fact that it's dumb and it's wrong and all of the other things.
00:33:45.860
It's made us less weary of the, well, he's not right here or boy, you know, the, hey
00:33:53.300
And like, look, when we're all around each other, you know, vent all you want.
00:33:57.260
But if you're actually trying to, to convince someone, which he obviously was, this is just
00:34:06.940
And the funny thing about Gaffigan, and you made this point, Pat, is you didn't know what
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.
00:34:28.280
He is one of the few people who actually could probably convince.
00:34:35.600
Maybe that would have been more effective, huh?
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
00:34:47.960
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.
00:35:00.840
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
00:35:12.760
And we saw that the way that's going to be in our face with the NFL president with the
00:35:20.160
It's going to be ugly with the, uh, it's going to be the first weekend of the NFL.
00:35:27.040
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
00:35:49.380
It's, it's tough because you know, we, we always get on, we always bust on Glenn because
00:35:55.680
Whenever an athlete does something annoying is to come at us and go, Oh, what do you
00:36:04.120
And he goes, and here's Glenn Beck who goes to literally every movie that comes out with
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
00:36:18.800
And I just, you know, his point is, you know, we, as we point out that inconsistency, usually
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
00:36:38.080
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.
00:36:49.300
And you don't, you don't necessarily know it, but it's happening literally everywhere
00:36:56.520
It's the point of, you don't have to know and trust every person you do business with.
00:37:02.240
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.
00:37:12.680
I'm not going to let some dumb player who hasn't thought about any of these issues,
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.
00:37:24.380
You know, if you're not getting enjoyment out of it because it's so in your face and you
00:37:28.860
But like for me, I can just turn it off when they're blabbing about this stuff.
00:37:36.920
I don't need to hear it from some stupid player who's never looked at an FBI crime report.
00:37:58.060
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.
00:38:10.960
And they're saying, you know, don't click on those.
00:38:21.580
Isn't that going to hurt your side business of spyware?
00:38:30.860
I want everyone to listen to this because this is hard.
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.
00:39:10.340
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
00:39:23.220
You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
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.

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.
00:40:27.840
It's been playing for, I think, about a week here.
00:40:32.060
They did that thing where they're like, previous screenings, it's not out, but you can go see
00:40:38.480
But it costs $200 million to make, and they're thinking like $15 to $25 would be a good weekend.
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.
00:41:03.500
These poor people who actually, they owned real estate and rented out a theater to, I think
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.
00:41:23.040
A really terrible Vin Diesel movie that we went to go see as soon as they opened up the
00:41:34.780
It was just us and this guy who owned the theater.
00:41:49.580

00:43:37.400
It is free to use and installs in just a couple of seconds.
00:43:49.080
Yeah, we're just talking about the whole COVID situation, which is like, you know, it's an
00:43:54.680
They're saying that it's a dangerous activity to go to a theater still.
00:44:01.860
They have a color code that came out in a recent study that says that this is in the
00:44:07.220
Though, obviously, silent is better than a loud protest where you're screaming at someone
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.
00:44:28.220
You can, but it would be better to take steps and lower your risk.
00:44:34.960
Glenn got in on the middle of a ranch in Idaho, we think.
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
00:44:54.160
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.
00:45:29.820
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.
00:45:41.660
We'll share those with you coming up in 60 seconds.
00:45:52.720
So no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on.
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.
00:46:06.520
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
00:46:19.580
You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
00:46:26.400
Raycon's E25s also have more compact design than ever.
00:46:29.700
They're stylish, discreet, no wires, no stems hanging out of your ears, ever.
00:46:33.280
Raycon was founded by Ray J and counts celebrities like Snoop Dogg and J.R. Smith among the fans.
00:46:38.480
They offer a 45-day return policy, so give them a try.
00:46:44.640
Limited time, 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds at buyraycon.com slash Beck.
00:47:20.980
And then it's still going to be terrible depending on who wins.
00:47:24.240
Now, it can still be terrible until January 20th-ish.
00:47:39.880
People were like, you know, Trump's like, the Trump administration has asked all states
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
00:48:05.020
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
00:48:13.940
If you're in the left right now, don't worry about it.
00:48:22.880
Tell me, let me give you this premise first, Pat, and you tell me if you think this is
00:48:34.480
We lost a bunch of jobs because of the coronavirus situation and we're bouncing back now.
00:48:40.620
If Donald Trump can bounce that back to the levels we were at before the coronavirus, he's
00:48:50.960
If this was just a, and again, a lot of people have died.
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
00:49:18.620
Like the president can say that is, he will have a good argument to make to the American
00:49:24.820
And so we're seeing these numbers come in now and there is a bounce back.
00:49:42.000
Let me go into 2020, 3.6, 3.5, March, 4.4, April, 14.7.
00:49:57.480
And by the way, keep in mind, we thought it was going to keep going up.
00:50:00.140
It might hit 20 or 30% is what they were saying.
00:50:03.800
I mean, when 14.7 came out, there were a lot of calls of north of 20%.
00:50:19.820
And today's number came out just a few hours ago.
00:50:37.340
8.4 to me still feels really high for an unemployment rate, right?
00:50:43.520
Not after 14.7, but it still seems like, okay, we've still got a ways to go.
00:50:47.120
Well, the last time we had an 8.4% unemployment rate was actually 8.5.
00:50:54.560
What I thought was fascinating, Pat, is if you look at this exact...
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
00:51:14.680
If you go back to the exact same month, August 2012, as compared to August 2020.
00:51:34.320
...right now as almost identical unemployment rate as the brilliant economy of Barack Obama
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.
00:51:56.940
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.
00:52:19.720
And that was when we came up with the whole metric of created and saved jobs.
00:52:26.940
Which we were like, wait a minute, what is that metric?
00:52:34.320
Now that's, look, we still, that means we still have ways to go, but we are going in
00:52:41.580
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.
00:53:02.340
Sorry, I'm looking at a bunch of different stats here at the same time.
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?
00:53:14.440
So you have, this is people going back to work, getting jobs.
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.
00:53:51.760
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.
00:54:15.120
So, right after the 20 million lost, the next month we gained.
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.
00:54:34.040
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.
00:54:47.380
I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a little thing we're dealing with right now
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
00:55:02.440
Then, in July, plus 1.7 million, and in August, plus 1.4 million.
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.
00:55:21.560
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.
00:55:31.500
And if it doesn't pick up, we are not going to get back to full by November, which is
00:55:38.080
I mean, that would be incredible, to be honest.
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.
00:55:48.240
And that would be nice, to have an inarguable point.
00:55:52.660
I don't think we're going to get all the way there.
00:55:56.120
Because remember, we will not have November numbers by the election.
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.
00:56:43.820
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
00:56:54.260
So, you've lost, already in New Jersey, you've lost 30% of all restaurants.
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.
00:57:08.780
So, you've got all those restaurants struggling to make ends meet on 25% of outdoor area being
00:57:19.640
Well, that's not enough for these guys to make ends meet.
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.
00:57:38.620
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.
00:58:02.260
It's basically saying, we're going to take this from you.
00:58:08.220
And when that's forced on you by the government, then the government's responsibility is to you
00:58:12.300
And I think almost everyone agrees that should be...
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.
00:58:36.240
We spent trillions of dollars to make it so it was only 20 million people who were losing
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.
00:59:04.900
If you were a small business, they gave you money to bridge the gap here.
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.
00:59:34.360
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.
00:59:44.060
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.
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.
01:00:33.560
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.
01:01:03.220
So it's a tough spot for Republicans right now.
01:01:19.980
Now you can eliminate the pain and torture of your CPAP mask and sleep in total comfort.
01:01:24.940

On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
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.
01:01:59.300
And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
01:02:02.720
When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
01:02:14.380
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
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.
01:02:45.080
That maybe doesn't need to be there because if you just wore a mask, you just take that one argument away from them.
01:02:51.520
And it's like, I don't want to wear a mask either.
01:02:55.900
Like to go to a restaurant, I put on the stupid mask.
01:02:59.960
Put it on before I go into church because they require it.
01:03:06.040
Like, I don't, I wouldn't wear it if everybody wasn't going to be freaked 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.
01:03:19.240
But to him, I think he's just making that point, just jabbing the Democrats a little bit.
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?
01:03:52.340
And when you're speaking, you're going to take the mask off.
01:03:55.380
I would say, like, should they have everyone in the audience wearing masks?
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.
01:04:15.280
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.
01:04:23.520
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.
01:04:33.560
Now, some people, they're, oh, well, I have this ailment or that ailment.
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.
01:04:45.440
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.
01:04:53.000
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.
01:05:25.060
It does show, like, there's a couple things where it does seem to help.
01:05:34.640
So it might be a little more than that in a normal scenario.
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.
01:06:03.440
If, you know, you have some ailment where you can't wear a mask, well, then, you know,
01:06:09.060
But, like, it does not mean you will not get it.
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.
01:06:28.080
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.
01:06:46.320
One of the things that everybody likes to do that makes the summer actually enjoyable,
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
01:07:07.520
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.
01:07:16.120
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.
01:07:26.940
Follow Rectech on all social media, and sign up for their newsletter.
01:07:37.540
This is the best grill you can get pretty much anywhere.
01:07:40.840
And you can get it for way, way less of a price than some of its competitors.
01:07:46.920
Miss Glenn's special yesterday, or the day before, on Big Tech and the election.
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.
01:08:53.240
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.
01:09:12.400
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?
01:09:27.160
I don't believe for a second that Donald Trump said that, about American soldiers buried in France.
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.
01:09:52.060
They both said really bad things about each other.
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?
01:10:06.060
I like people who don't get caught or don't get captured.
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.
01:10:26.540
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.
01:10:34.040
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.
01:10:48.940
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.
01:11:21.500
They're going to put Tammy Duckworth now out there saying, I fought for this country.
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?
01:11:47.860
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?
01:12:12.640
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.
01:12:29.040
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.
01:12:57.280
I mean, the guy – his actions – and we've said this a million times – don't pay attention to what he says.
01:13:04.040
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.
01:13:31.080
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.
01:13:58.700
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.
01:14:19.620
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,
01:14:44.740
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.
01:14:59.700
Can you come up with one person who could back it up?
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.
01:15:20.580
Because you could easily have four people who would make it up, right?
01:15:26.740
We don't know if they just hated Trump from the beginning.
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.
01:15:42.360
If you have something on record, then give it to me.
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,
01:16:06.040
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,
01:16:28.940
And everything else that they could possibly think of.
01:16:39.600
I feel like probably those who hate him are going to hate him even more.
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.
01:17:25.380
The problem is, of course, going to use it in this election.
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.
01:17:48.040
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.
01:17:58.680
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.
01:18:13.200
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.
01:18:21.240
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?
01:18:30.620
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?
01:18:41.300
Now, look, Biden has had good debate performances in his life.
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.
01:19:13.820
Against Ryan, he was attack, attack, attack, attack.
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.
01:19:41.660
And what I would do is I would take five different people that were incredibly familiar with Donald Trump and had really studied him.
01:19:49.940
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.
01:20:05.860
Every day I would be there against a new person who had a different take on Donald Trump.
01:20:14.760
You know, everything that Trump could throw at you, you'd be at least prepared for.
01:20:22.060
Stuff that's totally out of the realm of normal possibility that he might try.
01:20:29.300
And it's like, that's what I would be doing my time.
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.
01:20:58.660
He was vice president of the United States for eight years.
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.
01:21:17.880
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.
01:21:28.740
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.
01:21:44.720
Even though Nancy Pelosi tried to help him out.
01:21:46.840
And said, don't tell Joe I said this, because he'll be really mad.
01:21:56.920
Like, I'm the candidate, I'll decide if I want to do these debates.
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.
01:22:12.560
And everyone in his corner is saying, just stay away.
01:22:17.740
Apollo Creed, just stay the hell away from him.
01:22:22.120
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.
01:22:37.360
September 29th is the first one, just a little over three weeks away.
01:22:43.780
According to a Forbes columnist, you need to own gold because it is money, and it has

I mean, we're now, what, two-thirds of the way through the baseball season?
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
01:24:36.640
Yeah, they're currently in the playoffs, which, uh, a little bit to do with the fact that
01:24:43.100
Meaning, if the playoffs were held today, they'd be in them?
01:24:47.500
I have paid zero attention to Major League Baseball this year.
01:24:50.440
As I've paid the exact same amount of attention to the NBA.
01:24:55.640
As someone who's tried to watch these sports, the NBA is just a left-wing political organization.
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.
01:25:09.360
They seem to be telling you that it's going to be only the first week.

By the way, News and Why It Matters, if you happen to be a subscriber to The Blaze or you're listening to the podcast, the News and Why It Matters.
01:28:44.120
Pat and I will be on the show with Sarah Gonzalez today.
01:28:47.720
So, it'll be something you might want to check out.
01:28:49.320
In fact, we've been doing it most Fridays, Sarah, Pat, and Stu, which is kind of a fun combo to go through the issues of the week.
01:29:01.920
There's multiple new documentaries, one for Peter Schweizer, one for the Clarion Project that are for Blaze TV subscribers.

Not even going into the depth of all the different shows that are there.
01:29:17.700
Radio show here in one more hour comes up in just a moment.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:30:06.200
They actually found the guy who killed that Trump supporter last week.
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.
01:30:23.860
Well, they found him and it wasn't a good outcome for him when he met up with police.
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.
01:30:52.980
So, if you look at some of these Antifa members, you might recognize that they have some shaving issues.
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?
01:31:19.080
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.
01:31:35.400
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.
01:31:41.900
You'll be left with the smoothest, best smelling shave of your life and you'll end up wondering where Shave Secret has been all your life.
01:31:48.440
Say goodbye to all the crazy products and hello to Shave Secret.
01:31:51.740
Shave Secret is available regionally at HEB, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.
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.
01:32:45.900
Obviously, before that happened, he had some interesting things to say.
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.
01:33:08.780
I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color.
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?
01:33:26.080
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.
01:33:51.940
That does not mean like it's just an excuse, right?
01:33:56.100
Trying to say that he was innocent and was defending himself when clearly he was not.
01:34:03.420
And you hear you hear his friend or compatriot say,
01:34:13.000
And then almost immediately you hear the gunshots.
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.
01:35:00.720
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.
01:35:15.200
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.
01:35:39.160
No one ever said, oh, those counter-protesters should not have showed up.
01:35:45.580
Now, with this, both of these situations in the, it was Portland and Kenosha, right?
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.
01:36:13.000
And we were all supposed to say, well, it was his fault for showing up to be a counter-protester.
01:36:20.120
We can both, we can all pretty much agree here that people like this guy who murdered them
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.
01:36:44.760
Last time it wasn't the counter-protesters fault for getting run over by a car.
01:36:52.400
Now when it happens the other way around, the left just changes all the rules and the
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
01:37:21.120
This woman's business was completely gutted, completely burned, almost to the ground, but
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
01:37:50.860
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
01:38:01.940
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.
01:38:09.060
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.
01:38:21.180
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.
01:38:39.220
Yes, we know they shouldn't be burning buildings down.
01:38:47.100
Apparently, and like part of me said, wait a minute, morally, this is reprehensible.
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
01:39:19.520
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
01:39:40.820
In many cases, the price of the work is not much lower than the value of the actual property
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
01:40:07.280
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
01:40:20.140
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.
01:40:33.720
A small business is going to wind up having their lives destroyed over something like
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
01:40:57.940
Even if they had political, uh, you know, beliefs that are insane, like some people do.
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
01:41:21.160
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
01:41:38.480
She was raising money to get these people bailed out.
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
01:42:28.660
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.
01:42:37.620
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
01:42:54.880
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.
01:43:24.160
Remember they went up to a Jerry Nadler on the street and, and he would, he said it was
01:43:32.160
I don't think I've seen a single Democrat condemn what they're doing or tell them to
01:43:45.660
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
01:44:00.300
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.
01:44:09.360
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
01:44:21.000
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
01:44:30.220
Because they won't, they'll say, well, we don't like violence, but they won't say
01:44:37.760
They won't say that these groups are doing this all the time in left-leaning cities all
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
01:44:59.860
Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K more coming up in one minute.

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.
01:46:30.200
Is this six months now since we've had a major movie come out?
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?
01:46:57.440
And I think you would argue, why not hold this until next year?
01:47:07.880
I don't know why they're taking the chance with this.
01:47:14.520
Because it is a very interesting chicken-egg problem here, which is you can't open theaters.
01:47:30.680
This is why we talked about this earlier, where Pat and I went to this movie in May.
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.
01:47:50.380
It was sad, not only because the Vin Diesel movie we saw was terrible, but also it was just
01:47:59.320
And so what they did when they opened up was to show all the movies that were out in
01:48:05.440
This movie, this Vin Diesel movie came out in March.
01:48:09.420
They had, you know, a bunch of movies that were like, you know, 1917, which is like more
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?
01:48:32.540
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.
01:48:43.100
So, 182 million for the weekend, 102, 97, 100 million, 53 million, 4,160.
01:49:00.480
One of those weeks was the first week of the pandemic.
01:49:13.880
Now the first, if you remember, it was March 15th that Donald Trump made the speech, the
01:49:24.640
So that weekend was March 13th through the 15th.
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.
01:50:01.640
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.
01:50:08.980
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.
01:50:19.860
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?
01:50:33.460
I can only see three here, but had multiple weeks at number one.
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.
01:50:47.520
You will win a trivia contest someday by remembering this name, The Wretched.
01:50:54.660
It made like $50,000 a week, but it was number one for six straight weeks.
01:51:16.020
We've been talking about a great new startup in Dayton, Ohio, called Tempagenics.
01:51:20.260
It's a company that manufactures the Tempantos forehead thermometers,
01:51:24.580
founded by a couple of women entrepreneurs that I love.
01:51:27.860

01:52:05.220

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.
01:53:16.400
There's still people alive in New York, aren't there?
01:53:23.940
Had he not acted the way he did, there wouldn't be.
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.
01:53:59.040
Don't they find that the California infections are mostly from New York?
01:54:05.280
You'd think it would come from the West Coast strain.
01:54:08.520
He has had more people die in his state than any other state.
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.
01:54:29.080
Well, did they die in a hospital or did they die in a nursing home?
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?
01:54:46.120
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
01:55:10.620
Everyone, including the people in his state who run the facilities, who begged him in public
01:55:18.160
Well, you're acting like old people who live in nursing homes were more vulnerable than other
01:55:25.020
That is how I am acting because 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.
01:55:45.580
Luckily, you're asked a question, which they've answered, Pat, which is great.
01:55:50.920
They said they didn't want people to be discriminated against based on their COVID-19 status.
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.
01:56:21.880
And luckily, these riots and rallies have, of course, stopped all racism.
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
01:56:45.480
The actual number, of course, is higher than any other state, obviously.
01:56:50.200
He's the one, you know, he's the one with all the bad policies.
01:56:58.260
So just by a lot of elimination, we know by a lot, by a lot, but double any other state.
01:57:06.800
And number, I think it's four or five, is Connecticut.
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.
01:57:22.380
He didn't ban European travel until it was too late.
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
01:57:45.680
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,
01:57:52.880
Which is just a threat against the president of the United States.
01:57:57.420
Well, you know, the president actually has one.
01:58:02.240
But threatening the president of the United States used to be something you didn't do.
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.
01:58:26.520
I will say, there was an issue when I, a minor issue when I did this.
01:58:31.400
Many, many listeners and viewers reached out and said, hey, Chris Cuomo is worse.
01:58:43.880
The point here, though, is that this guy's had a free ride from the media.
01:58:54.460
This is, you know, a person who has, after Trump came out and said, okay, we need to
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
01:59:14.240
But, and we certainly didn't like them in Wyoming, right?
01:59:18.300
We certainly didn't like them in places where there was no problem at the time.
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.
01:59:32.260
When he was bragging that they weren't going to shut down.
01:59:37.040
It wasn't until after that, after the European travel ban, after the national shutdown, Cuomo
01:59:49.300
De Blasio is saying, we got to not have the, you know, we're not going to have the kids
01:59:56.280
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.
02:00:10.140
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.
02:00:17.820
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.
02:00:53.120
Now, of course, at that time, Florida, Texas, and Arizona were increasing in cases.
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
02:01:22.060
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
02:01:48.540
Although him trying to dunk on Texas, which has 10 million more people overall than 10
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.
02:02:19.340
It's embarrassing for the media more because, you know, look, you, you, you figure Cuomo was
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.
02:02:35.520
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
02:02:51.040
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.
02:03:01.460
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.
02:03:41.800
So awful and the media never holds them to account.
02:03:45.680
And again, like when you look at deaths per million, here we go.
02:03:53.980
Again, all of those are tied very closely to New York.
02:03:58.980
The first state you get in the South is Louisiana, who's fifth at 1,080.
02:04:10.540
You got to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.
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.
02:04:27.920
The country of San Marino had a very bad COVID problem.
02:04:38.840
They had 42 deaths and 735 cases, but no one lives there.
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.
02:05:12.700
As I told you, I was telling you off the air that we were about to catch them.
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.
02:05:27.300
But if you take the weekends into account, it's probably more like 850 a day on average.
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
02:05:53.780
But countries like Mexico, they have not even come close to quantifying how many people
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
02:06:18.260
I want to say it's about 15% excess deaths this year, which is a big number of people
02:06:25.160
Just in April and May, just April and May, Mexico had 91% excess deaths.
02:06:33.020
Almost twice as many people died as normal in the entire country of Mexico.
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?
02:06:53.160
Have you looked into how many varicose veins people had and died from?
02:07:02.980
I haven't even looked at dishpan hands, which...
02:07:33.440

02:08:06.320
Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East.

02:08:27.420
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
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.
02:08:59.480
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.
02:09:20.680
And another reason, I really don't want to get it.
02:09:24.780

02:10:07.460

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.
02:11:28.400
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.
