The Glenn Beck Program - The Left’s Homophobic Attack on George Santos

00:00:00.000 yes here we are we're doing it thanks Hillary it's not gonna be a repeat it's gonna be worse

00:00:05.000 that's all uh I remember going back to like 2000 I want to say it was 2016 the first time I said

00:00:12.660 oh gosh I hope it's not 2015 and every year since I've said that yeah yeah now it's just like oh

00:00:19.980 gosh that's the worst I uh the I guess the 2020 does stand out as pretty bad year that one it's

00:00:26.960 hard to top that that was really yeah I think about think about just 2020 you had COVID then you had

00:00:36.880 the George Floyd stuff oh then you had the election and the and the rioting and the rioting yeah well

00:00:43.580 the George Floyd stuff I was yeah okay you were including the rioting the incident to the riots

00:00:48.400 yeah and I mean and multiple other riots and you know it wasn't just George Floyd every time

00:00:53.940 an African-American would be shot for any reason we'd be wielding a knife there were riots afterward

00:00:58.520 yeah uh and then uh you had the election and then all that aftermath that leads up to January 6th and

00:01:04.680 of 2021 that that's a bad period that's a bad stretch yeah that's one to delete yeah that's one uh that's

00:01:12.200 you know that's like uh the Godfather 3 of years you just you know you didn't need it uh it's Pat and

00:01:19.940 Stu for Glenn coming up

00:02:26.500 we're gonna talk about uh this big story of this high profile congressman

00:02:33.780 George Santos man how many times have we talked about George Santos yeah I mean if we had a nickel

00:02:42.440 for every time well I know before before we left for Christmas vacation we described 2023 as the

00:02:48.320 beginning of the Santos era right and now man little did we know little did we know uh we'll get into

00:02:55.260 that story that I mean it's earth shattering uh and a lot more coming up in 60 seconds

00:03:02.640 Pat and Stu 888-727-BECK out uh we mentioned that uh the big gigantic George Santos story was on the

00:03:21.600 way maybe we should explain even who George Santos is you think there's someone out there who doesn't

00:03:27.920 know about the Santos mania that has been sweeping the country as crazy it is as it is I think there

00:03:35.600 might be a few just that's shocking a couple I know that's shocking if you are not engaged enough

00:03:40.640 in the news to understand the vital importance of what George Santos has brought to this nation

00:03:48.940 yeah I know you have to question your own existence yeah you really do at this point I mean how ignorant

00:03:54.540 are you if you haven't been paying attention to the entire life story of George Santos

00:03:59.960 this is the real state of affairs on the George Santos story okay I for a living work on elections

00:04:10.520 and analyze elections on this program I host another show Studios America Pat hosts Pat Gray Unleashed

00:04:16.240 both on the Blaze we talk about Congress elections all the time yeah Congress people I've all the time

00:04:25.240 literally never heard of George Santos now until this until this broke yeah now this is a person who

00:04:33.360 apparently won a congressional seat in New York yeah he lost the first time in 2020

00:04:39.140 he came back and tried again and won this time in 2022 first election victory ever ever he has been

00:04:48.280 the focus of more reporting from the New York Times than literally any story in the entire history of

00:04:56.600 the newspaper I've never seen them more obsessed with a story they don't care at all what Hunter Biden

00:05:04.000 did no they don't care at all what Joe Biden did he's the current president of the United States

00:05:09.840 they don't care they don't care at all they care about George Santos exaggerating a few elements of

00:05:17.080 his life yeah like working in a bank or I don't know seriously it's like the man he said he worked at

00:05:23.460 Morgan uh what was it uh is it Chase Morgan Chase Morgan yeah I can't remember it was one of the

00:05:28.600 banks uh Morgan Chase I don't remember but this is what I mean I don't know it's crazy so this is

00:05:34.980 what they say the story came out late December his campaign biography amplified his storybook journey

00:05:40.780 he was a uh you know he was his kid of son of immigrants and blah blah blah blah he is the son

00:05:46.440 of Brazilian immigrants the first openly gay Republican to win a house seat as a non-incumbent

00:05:51.540 and it's like when you're stretching to it's like this is the first player to have three hits on a

00:05:56.580 Tuesday night yeah between the sixth and eighth innings it's like all right like okay we're getting

00:06:01.380 to a point where we're stretching the glass ceiling a tad here um but he was the first openly gay

00:06:06.960 Republican to win a house seat as a non-incumbent so there's been other non-Republicans that have

00:06:13.980 been openly gay and other non-incumbents non-incumbents or incumbents that were Republican but this guy was

00:06:20.360 the first to win a house seat as a non-incumbent by his account he catapulted himself from a New York

00:06:28.240 City public college to become a seasoned Wall Street financier and investor with a family-owned real

00:06:34.460 estate portfolio of 13 properties and Pat an animal rescue charity oh that saved more than

00:06:43.620 2,500 dogs and cats but a New York Times review of public documents and court filings from the

00:06:57.760 United States and Brazil they went down to Brazilian courtrooms and read Brazilian court documents to

00:07:07.580 figure this stuff out I mean how ridiculous is it how much I mean how exaggerated was it did he

00:07:13.480 not work at JPMorgan Chase at all it was a city group in Goldman Sachs okay Goldman Sachs that's

00:07:19.220 right they were on his uh they were on his resume he said he worked there and apparently he did not

00:07:23.940 work there according to the times okay um also what about the charity the dogs and cats no I don't know

00:07:31.280 the dog and cat one came out all right we need to look into that yeah and I'll go to Brazil if I have

00:07:37.360 to now do you would you take that as he saved 2,500 dogs and 2,500 cats or a combination of

00:07:44.280 dogs and cats that made up the 2,500 saved animals how would you read we have to pin it down I don't

00:07:49.420 know we're we're going to whichever one he whatever whatever one he meant we could just say the opposite

00:07:54.860 one was a lie yeah that's how this works um he he talked about uh you know his resume was a little

00:08:02.520 bit um inflated uh he said that he uh was managing a family firm that was overblown he won by eight

00:08:12.440 points in long on Long Island that's where this district is and a lot of it has to do with the

00:08:17.100 way the Democratic Party completely blew the really the reason why the Republicans are in power right now

00:08:26.260 as far as the House goes is because of the Democratic Party in New York who broke the law when it came

00:08:33.120 to redistricting and screwed up so badly that the courts redrew the districts in a fair way because they

00:08:41.120 went so far to try to scam uh the electorate that it blew up in their faces in the courts so they lost

00:08:47.580 something like five seats that would have gone probably to Democrats in the with the old map instead

00:08:53.660 went to Republicans one of those George Santos and really the reason why the Republicans control

00:09:00.760 the House today arguably is this are these New York seats so I mean you could see why it's important and

00:09:06.320 you can kind of see why the New York Times would want to take out George Santos because he's he's a

00:09:11.320 a part of a very small majority for Republicans if you take out one of these people you've taken out

00:09:20.060 20 percent of the majority right like there's only a five seat majority here right if you can get all

00:09:25.560 five uh you know five people out you might be able to switch the House I mean this is going to be a two

00:09:30.240 year project for for the Democrats and the media but like they've acted as if this is the most important

00:09:36.580 they went to Brazil to see if as a teenager he committed a crime as a teenager and meanwhile Biden can lie

00:09:45.680 about every aspect of his life and has and the media couldn't care less uh it's absolutely amazing

00:09:54.140 Biden has lied about his entire career he claimed he earned multiple degrees nope uh he claimed he was in

00:10:03.460 the top of his class nope he claimed he was offered a job at Boise Cascade as a lumberjack nope he claimed he

00:10:13.500 was a truck driver no he marched for civil rights no he was arrested with Nelson Mandela in South Africa

00:10:23.780 no uh he visited a synagogue in Pittsburgh after a shooting there no he he confronted a gang leader

00:10:36.400 named Corn Pop uh no I think that one happened but that's just me I don't have any evidence of it but

00:10:43.300 that one I think happened traveled 17,000 miles with Xi Jinping uh no no he didn't uh grew up in a

00:10:50.720 Puerto Rican community uh no while at the same time growing up in a black church uh no I mean on and on

00:11:02.400 and on Biden has told lies about his life and his resume and they couldn't care less they don't they don't

00:11:09.740 care but this is this is an absolute catastrophe there they have armed guards waiting for him at the

00:11:17.840 entrance of the capitol building so he can or the uh uh so that he can't get into the the house of

00:11:24.180 representatives I mean it's they're really trying to stop him from being seated yeah well and it's

00:11:30.200 incredible of course this all has to do with this this very small majority right there's five seats

00:11:34.320 there yeah this is what they're going to try to do they're going to they're going to do this the

00:11:37.940 scandal police are going to be out looking for everybody they can throw out of congress

00:11:41.220 because if they can do this they can get control and wrestle it away from republicans

00:11:46.220 but I've noticed you've just you've skipped over you know some of the big details of the Santos story

00:11:52.000 you know for for example you got me I guess in sorry in 2008 uh-huh when George Santos a person

00:11:59.880 none of us had ever heard about until like probably for most of the audience 10 minutes ago when he

00:12:05.700 was 19 he stole the checkbook of a man his mother was caring for according to Brazilian court records

00:12:13.460 uncovered by the times I just think about so they were looking for the checkbook when they went to

00:12:18.120 uh apparently Brazil yes police and court records show that Mr. Santos used the checkbook to make

00:12:25.320 fraudulent purchases including a pair of shoes that's a direct quote from the New York Times

00:12:33.700 he bought a pair of shoes uh with a stolen checkbook yes I mean should we consider throwing him in prison

00:12:42.120 for the rest of his life that's the that's the question I ask yes all of America today I think

00:12:49.220 what's interesting about this is not this you know this George Santos part of it because I

00:12:52.860 I have no reason to root for or against George Santos I don't know anything about the guy and

00:12:58.180 I you know look if he if he embellished his resume he shouldn't have done that I mean normally in

00:13:03.680 normal circumstances there's a chance maybe this guy would resign and maybe he will they're really

00:13:08.580 trying to get get him to just resign that's what they're trying to do put so much pressure on him

00:13:13.140 that he steps down I gotta believe the the Republicans behind the scenes there a lot of them are saying

00:13:18.560 publicly yes he should respond absolutely he should resign this was wrong behind

00:13:22.840 the scenes the majority is so small I'm sure they don't want this to happen but like I'm more

00:13:29.760 amazed by just the effort this is a news organization that has designated seemingly all of its resources

00:13:36.380 over a month or two against this guy that no one had ever heard of and no one had any opinion on

00:13:44.660 and no one seemed to even know existed up until a few weeks ago and the New York Times and it's you

00:13:53.920 know it's global reach and it's massive resources and all of this is going to prove to you that George

00:14:00.980 Santos at 19 years old stole a pair of shoes it's just like it's incomprehensible with all the other

00:14:09.840 stuff going on this is what they're spending their time on yeah this is it yeah it's fascinating and

00:14:17.260 entertaining if it wasn't so serious it really would be funny yeah it really would because if

00:14:22.980 honestly we came in here today if I told you right now the George Santos story we just told you was a

00:14:28.040 lie we're just kidding there isn't a congressman named George Santos no one would know the difference

00:14:32.860 no one would know triple eight seven two seven beck more in one minute

00:14:38.640 it's pat and stupper glenn today uh there is one other aspect of this is kind of interesting with

00:14:46.900 the New York Times I'm very disturbed by this pat why would the New York Times target the first

00:14:53.820 openly gay republican to win as a non-incumbent why what a good question why pat there's only one

00:15:02.740 answer homophobia that's it that's exactly what it is there's the only the only reason they would

00:15:10.340 do this bigots they're bigots they don't want yeah they don't want gay people to have jobs

00:15:17.140 especially jobs in congress I've never seen a more blatant example of it than this all New York

00:15:25.360 Times smearing this uh openly gay congressman we all know that gay people are not uh properly

00:15:33.980 represented within the republican party it should be 85 percent gay people that's the only yeah in

00:15:39.820 fact only gay people should be allowed in the other 15 percent should be made up of trans

00:15:44.600 exactly thank you for yeah I thought that was I didn't need I think that needed to be said that

00:15:50.100 needed to be said but I appreciate you just clarifying for anyone who might not know felt

00:15:54.180 it need to no it's good 85 percent gay 15 percent trans the makeup of our public and uh but it is

00:16:01.320 interesting because they are the ones always saying there's no gay people that are republicans they found

00:16:06.200 the one guy who won as a non-incumbent to target for this incredible investigation to take this guy down

00:16:16.180 looking back to him as a teenager to find out which shoes he stole right like we had a guy running

00:16:24.680 our nuclear waste facility who was stealing luggage apparently at every airport in America

00:16:30.620 they don't even mention it they don't care they don't care they don't care they don't mention it it's

00:16:34.660 not it's not notable at all it was just notable that that he cracked the glass ceiling of having of

00:16:41.160 wearing high heels to work or something and we were supposed to care about that yeah

00:16:45.720 but but here they target the one guy in the entire republican party who won as a non-incumbent

00:16:53.500 and they they find that person as the target of this investigation it is incredible I will say

00:16:58.820 if this came from a right-wing institution and it was going after someone on the left who was the

00:17:06.040 only x y or z in congress to win as a non-incumbent I guarantee you that would be said that was the

00:17:12.400 reason the new york times would write column after column after column that told you that the reason

00:17:16.800 why the republicans were going after this person is because they were gay or trans or whatever the

00:17:22.200 other 5 000 other genders or whatever group we're supposed to be talking about today that's how it works

00:17:28.740 but as with blacks who aren't really black if they're conservative or if they vote if they don't vote for

00:17:34.100 joe biden right they're they ain't black uh I guess the same applies now to gay people uh really

00:17:39.460 aren't gay if if they're republicans so because I think it's interesting I think you can make a case

00:17:46.240 the reason george santos is being targeted here is because they can't have they can't have this be the

00:17:55.920 case they can't have gay republicans winning maybe persuading gay voters to come to the republican side

00:18:03.040 maybe showing uh you know that not all republicans are evil white people uh evil white males evil

00:18:10.820 white straight males the worst combination of all attributes imaginable they can't have that so maybe

00:18:17.660 that is part of the reason he's being targeted I mean I don't think it's out of the question to say

00:18:21.980 that it is but still it's completely ridiculous that this has been the focus of the entire time you

00:18:30.600 were on christmas vacation the entire time you were going to new year's parties the entire time

00:18:34.740 you're watching bowl games all of that time the new york times was talking about george santos

00:18:39.840 not george soros I mean it's a george santos it's an intense amount of coverage this guy is getting

00:18:47.600 it's it's really outrageous so your guess in the end will he be I mean he'll be seated but will he be

00:18:54.520 forced out that's interesting I the the typical way republicans do things is this guy folds and

00:19:00.820 leaves yeah right like that is the way the republican party has typically operated they give in you know

00:19:06.840 they and look I I don't have any affinity for again I don't even know him I have no affinity for george

00:19:13.180 santos if he did something really terrible should he step down I mean you know I look I don't I don't

00:19:18.480 even know who he is I don't know if he's done these things I don't know he's admitted to some of the

00:19:23.140 embellishments of his resume but like you can't give in to these people you can't give in to these

00:19:30.040 people because it's never even when you have a real apology we've all done things we want to apologize

00:19:35.040 for we've all done things wrong in our lives that we think ah crap I should have done that better I

00:19:40.320 should have handled that differently but like we are at a point in our society in our culture where

00:19:45.440 that apology is not taken honestly it's not taken as intended it's just used as a as a weapon against

00:19:55.480 you but you compare this to eric swalwell sleeping with a chinese spy for two years and is still in

00:20:04.060 not just still in congress still on the intelligence commute committee yeah they never give in and you

00:20:10.180 compare it to a guy who embellished his resume okay wow I mean aside from everything is that even

00:20:20.400 an offense worthy of stepping down from I mean I know he lied a little bit he embellished his resume

00:20:26.060 probably not it seems to me to be one of those things where look if the new york voters next time

00:20:31.380 think it was a big deal they'll throw him out right right like I mean I know right that's that seems to

00:20:37.860 be to be the level of this especially from a guy that I literally never heard of it's hard to get

00:20:44.300 worked up about it isn't it it is very triple eight seven two seven bet the glenn back program

00:20:52.560 doing our best to protect free speech and truth from constant attack more glenn back after the break

00:21:02.060 it's pat and stew for glenn triple eight seven two seven beck unbelievable how fast vacation went

00:21:15.440 yeah they just seem like it just started now here we are right back right back again although I'm

00:21:22.620 very excited to be back very excited very of course of course but yes it goes very quickly

00:21:28.000 there's a lot going on during that two-week period yeah the christmas stuff which parties parent of two

00:21:34.340 smaller kids you've got a lot of stuff going on there's a lot of festivals a lot of light seeing a lot

00:21:42.540 of everything and then you have christmas and you have the aftermath and the new you're flowing to new

00:21:48.180 years and you know you got to gain your five to ten pounds sure which that was not a problem i

00:21:54.000 successfully did it was probably the easiest thing uh i accomplished during the holidays my new year's

00:21:59.500 resolution was to put on that five to ten pounds and i i did it good i did it immediately congratulations

00:22:03.740 you've already fulfilled and achieved your new year's resolution so now i can lay back a little bit i

00:22:08.440 don't have to be so intense you know on my goal oriented life get that done in the first day of the

00:22:13.760 calendar year that's pretty impressive really nice yeah also football's just about over which kills me

00:22:19.260 oh i know it's it's stressful it's stressful very stressful very stressful as uh we are we are fans of

00:22:28.120 the eagles and and packers so we have two teams one ascending and the packers the eagles have now lost

00:22:36.020 two in a row with all sorts of injuries hitting the team so now it's just constant stress and those

00:22:41.940 college football games uh on new year's eve were incredible man both of them incredible tcu in the

00:22:49.460 finals which is pretty exciting to me so that's really fun yeah a cool uh you know and that's

00:22:55.560 part of the reason why vacation goes so quickly there's so much football to watch yes so much

00:23:00.500 football to watch and it's why i maybe didn't follow the george santos story as closely as i should

00:23:05.060 have because i was watching you know football which is much better yeah well it was interesting when i

00:23:10.740 turned the i mean there's so many bowl games it doesn't matter when you turn on i i woke up in

00:23:14.920 the middle of the night and couldn't sleep it was about three o'clock in the morning turned on the

00:23:19.680 tv and the george santos bowl was was on is that what it was i missed that was the one bowl i missed

00:23:26.900 george santos bowl i i don't like to miss and so i was fortunate that i got up and actually we have

00:23:32.400 an update he fabricated that bowl oh wow yeah that did not yeah he didn't really have his own

00:23:37.560 hired those players to come out and act like two colleges were playing in the george santos bowl

00:23:42.160 so did you also hear uh about there there was a terrorist attack against three police officers in

00:23:49.700 times square on new year's eve i think right at midnight this 19 year old from maine who just

00:23:56.160 they say he just recently became radicalized to uh jihadism and it happened online like you hear

00:24:04.920 so often and at midnight he just he took out a machete and started attacking police officers with

00:24:11.920 it fortunately none of the police officers were killed and it looks like they're all going to be

00:24:16.240 okay uh and he was just shot in the shoulder so he's also alive but what a weird thing because once

00:24:24.740 again he was on the fbi's terror watch list and i i think i've just now realized that the fbi terror

00:24:34.340 watch list means that they just sit back and watch you commit crimes right well it's not the terror

00:24:42.560 stop list no it's not it was a watch list stop list they would try to stop the terrorist but this is

00:24:47.940 just i wasn't taking it literal enough more of a viewing party you know they get together they

00:24:54.280 should call it yeah the terror viewing party list uh because they don't they don't ever do but i i

00:25:01.000 don't know what you what you do before they commit a crime anyway maybe you intervene in some way to

00:25:07.720 try to at least let him know that we're on to you we know you're a radical uh you can monitor

00:25:13.620 yeah you can i mean look they are free to sit out in front of the guy's house if they believe he's

00:25:18.780 going to do something and and uh right i mean they do that to people often when they believe

00:25:25.300 their suspects in some crime right uh you'd think anyone on the terror watch list would at least get

00:25:30.300 that treatment some sort of you know you would think we should know where this guy is all the time

00:25:35.260 some kind of scrutiny uh some precautions to make sure that things like just happen don't happen

00:25:42.040 i mean in in a free society it's really hard to do and when you need you know probable cause it's

00:25:47.960 it's really tough yeah prevent crime like that we talk about this often with things like mass shootings

00:25:52.920 right you know you get you get some weirdo teenager teenager who has no friends and decides they're going

00:25:59.540 to go shoot a bunch of people and you know in a grocery store and people go back and like look at

00:26:05.460 their social media postings and they're really weird and they seem they seem like the type of person who

00:26:10.360 would do this and maybe they've even made some outlandish you know mildly violent comments or

00:26:15.860 threatened other classmates and blah blah blah and you're like well why didn't they stop it well we

00:26:20.900 don't live in china that's one of the reasons if we lived in china anyone who was suspected of a crime

00:26:25.660 they just arrest and disappear and you never hear from them again and that does help your crime rate

00:26:29.600 it really does unless you count you know the government disappearing people as crimes but if you

00:26:36.280 don't do that and you say it's okay for the government to do that you can control a lot of

00:26:40.600 your crime problem you anytime you know anytime anyone does anything or you're suspected of doing

00:26:47.100 something if you speak out against the government if you have a different religion if you throw all

00:26:51.100 those people in in prison camps i mean look your crime rate does does fall it's just like we don't

00:26:56.960 live in a country where that's allowed yet yeah and and what kind of society do you want to have

00:27:02.240 i mean we want the freedom that we enjoy so yes it's really difficult and maybe even impossible

00:27:09.960 to stop everything before it happens but you would think there'd be a better track record yeah then

00:27:17.140 just about everybody that we've heard about lately whether it's a shooting or this machete attack

00:27:21.300 they're all on the fbi terror watch list it's amazing uh it is it is especially considering the fbi has

00:27:29.260 not had the greatest few years oh that's for the reputation right like you know these are the

00:27:35.540 things that at some level the trade-off for republicans and conservatives largely over the past 30 or 40

00:27:43.140 years has been look we know at times the fbi bends the rules we're not comfortable with that but like

00:27:52.160 we also don't want to explode right so hey you know maybe we're willing to put up with some

00:28:00.880 uh excesses if they're going to generally speaking help stop you know mass violence right like i you

00:28:12.700 know terrorism things like that and and that's always been a an uncomfortable sort of dance especially

00:28:20.040 for conservatives who are skeptical of government generally right like you know you know government

00:28:24.380 centralized government power not something we're different we're for so it's always been

00:28:28.600 uh i think a piece of of the of the overall position package for conservatives that has made

00:28:36.300 people uncomfortable i mean you know it's been sort of a one of the libertarian critiques of

00:28:40.960 conservatism over the years hey you guys say you're so skeptical of government why are you so

00:28:45.700 pro-pro-police and pro-fbi and pro-military and all these things which you know has always had some

00:28:51.880 some credibility but also has been taken to excess by the other side as well here we have a situation

00:29:00.440 though where it's really seemingly spun out of control so much of this now the reputation has been

00:29:05.880 soiled to an extent that i don't know that you are ever getting conservatives back i don't know the

00:29:11.680 fbi is ever going to have supporters on the republican side like they once did i mean i i feel like that

00:29:17.400 bond has been broken if it existed before sure yeah it's going to be tough to you know to heal that wound

00:29:25.640 because uh they've been so bad for the last several years and maybe much longer than that we just didn't

00:29:32.260 know it i don't know but the the fbi doesn't have very many friends on the right right now because

00:29:38.220 you know there's just too many things that we've seen lately that show us they're not trustworthy

00:29:45.460 that uh they're they're not performing on the best in the best interest of the american people

00:29:51.440 uh they found a diary uh on on this guy on this guy's person uh he was obviously a cop hater and he wrote

00:30:00.880 extensively about that uh he had a handwritten manifesto and what terrorists worth their salt

00:30:06.940 don't have doesn't have a manifesto on their on their uh you know in or on them at all times

00:30:16.080 and so don't type it no it's gotta be handwritten gotta be handwritten so that people can understand

00:30:21.900 it but you know you gotta hand write your manifesto so he had that in his backpack and he urged his

00:30:27.540 family in this diary to please repent to allah and accept islam so uh does that work was that a

00:30:34.660 successful tactic you know you go and you you stab a bunch of people uh-huh but then say hey you guys

00:30:39.960 should should listen to me on religious purpose uh religious teachings no it doesn't really work for

00:30:45.420 me but maybe on his family i don't know maybe they'll be swayed by that yeah i hadn't thought of

00:30:50.120 that i'm gonna repent and and turn to allah now because he did attack three police officers with the

00:30:56.360 machete he must feel strongly about it oh he really does mean it uh so i guess that's what you're

00:31:03.380 supposed to take from that and you know i don't know there's something about the mass violent attack

00:31:08.220 that makes me less likely to consider whatever you're pitching well you're pretty picky you know

00:31:13.880 if you're coming if like for example if you're a vacuum salesman going door to door yeah and you've

00:31:18.100 got a great deal on a new vacuum it's got to pick up almost everything that gets spilled

00:31:21.580 uh you know maybe even cleans the carpet in a very deep fashion that you normally you'd get only

00:31:26.380 professional cleaning you're selling me so far on this right um also i murdered 45 people

00:31:31.600 would you still want to buy that vacuum i feel like i'd be less likely does it come any

00:31:36.020 attachments does it come with 46 okay then i'm so i tried to buy i'm still gonna buy the vacuum

00:31:41.840 here's the thing i murdered one person for each attachment oh to draw attention to my vacuum

00:31:47.160 the only problem is i've only done 45 i gotta get to 46 and you're right here so terrible news after

00:31:53.100 you buy this that is bad news this vacuum will be used to clean the blood out of the carpet

00:31:57.280 of the murder i'm about to commit 888-727-BECK

00:32:01.140 stay informed sign up for the free newsletter today at glennbeck.com

00:32:08.820 pat and stew uh welcome happy new year looks like there's going to be a little bit of a battle

00:32:25.840 for the uh for house speaker and it involves kevin mccarthy of course who is the front runner i would

00:32:34.860 say at this point and andy biggs and uh i don't know that much about andy biggs but you and glenn

00:32:42.900 had him on the show yeah we had him on when he announced uh for i'm gonna kind of give his case

00:32:47.180 on it i think it's gonna be an uphill battle for andy uh here although mccarthy has a difficult

00:32:53.080 path as well there's really no one who would have anything but a difficult path to win this

00:32:58.660 it's very difficult because interesting with a five seat majority you got to get to 218 you got

00:33:04.700 to get to 218 to get to 218 you need pretty much everybody now every you know if you think about if

00:33:10.440 the squad actually had principles right you're at 218 this is what happened with pelosi last time

00:33:16.180 she had what 223 maybe it was seven or eight seat i can't remember what the number was back

00:33:21.800 right after the 2020 election but a very small minority and people like the squad could have

00:33:26.140 easily uh thrown her out and made it so she didn't win um they didn't do that because they never do it

00:33:32.060 right they the the left has progressives and people who are supposedly principled but when it

00:33:37.760 comes down to it they always vote for the thing yeah right like it yes they always come along for

00:33:43.160 a watered down version and that usually includes joe manchin yeah oh yeah they all it mansions on the

00:33:49.340 other side just caves yep they always cave i mean you know they got both of their 50 seat or 50 vote

00:33:55.800 bills through last year through reconciliation they spent their multiple trillions and trillions of

00:34:01.400 dollars despite only having 50 senators that's because at the end of the day they always come around

00:34:06.980 right they always they'll they'll put up a stink here and there they'll try to woo their voters

00:34:12.100 in west virginia or new york by saying they're holding the line but in the end they always vote

00:34:18.780 for the thing that's how this works the republicans aren't exactly like that republicans uh you know

00:34:25.000 you you get like freedom caucus guys they'll just at times just say no and stop whatever thing the

00:34:32.860 the establishment wants sometimes that's a really good thing sometimes it can it can create

00:34:39.340 sometimes unnecessary hassles i guess the establishment would argue we're like these

00:34:43.840 things are going to go forward eventually anyway and you're just making us all look bad

00:34:47.480 you know again i don't have too much sympathy for that side of it but i do get it i understand what

00:34:52.280 they're saying here still mccarthy is the most likely guy but it's not going to be it's not going to

00:34:58.360 be easy they can blow it up why can't we get a solid conservative ever in in the speaker of the

00:35:04.520 house seat why can't republicans do that it's amazing isn't it they just they yeah they won't

00:35:12.120 seem to get behind real conservatism if somebody's an establishment republican you know like a kevin

00:35:18.540 mccarthy nah yeah we can get behind that but you can't get behind a true conservative for some reason

00:35:24.260 yeah that's true i mean the thing here though is a true conservative it's not like when you have

00:35:29.200 let's say you have 250 seats you should be able to come up with a representative of the core

00:35:35.640 movement in the party right the core movement of the party is conservatism theoretically you should

00:35:42.460 get somebody who's really conservative to head it up you know nancy pelosi while she's not arguably as

00:35:49.360 liberal as you know alexandria ocasio-cortez she's a good representative of the movement behind the

00:35:56.000 party she's a yeah a really big progressive that wants to spend trillions of dollars and you know

00:36:02.140 the the policy prescription there like and she pulls it off and she does it and she was there and she did

00:36:07.680 a job that was i don't know in the center to the center left of the democratic party even with

00:36:14.800 republicans like you do have moderate members you know george santos uh i don't know if he's a moderate

00:36:22.180 or conservative i do know he was the first openly gay republican ever elected as a non-incumbent right

00:36:30.620 and that's important to know but like i don't know let's just say george santos maybe not the most

00:36:34.960 conservative member well when you have a five-seat majority you gotta get those people too yeah so you

00:36:40.820 put a real conservative in there you're probably not going to get them the same way you're not going

00:36:45.240 to get the freedom caucus for andy mccarthy uh or not andy mccarthy uh what the biggs any biggs yeah

00:36:52.480 biggs or kevin mccarthy so you have this it's difficult both ways i don't know who is the only

00:37:00.120 way they're going to try with mccarthy to to go right down the middle and get both and that's that's

00:37:05.100 not easy to do either this is the glenn back program uh we've got uh we've got we've got some

00:37:13.880 great stuff coming up here uh and i uh it's funny because you go through i this happens to me every

00:37:21.340 time i have a long vacation like this we've been off the last couple weeks i come back and i'm like

00:37:24.980 gosh i didn't follow anything in the news i didn't even read news stories i got nothing i don't know what

00:37:29.780 are we going to talk about and then as soon as we get in here we start talking about something as

00:37:33.640 important as george santos i'm immediately back in the mode where you know what would we do without

00:37:38.980 these shows i don't know what normal people do if you can't rant and rave about this stuff i don't

00:37:44.460 know what do you do with your life you do probably important things with your life instead of this but

00:37:48.980 i will say it does it is cathartic yes i don't know what i would do without it me neither it's true

00:37:56.440 you've got to be able to comment on the madness and there's plenty of it to comment on we'll do that

00:38:01.980 come on up here in just a few seconds on the radio show

00:38:05.020 got no room to compromise

00:38:30.020 what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn back program

00:38:58.680 today with pat and stew great to have you with us

00:39:02.760 uh vladimir zelinski thanked america for you know giving everything we've got to the cause in

00:39:15.820 ukraine against russia and then made more demands so uh we'll get into some of that and much more

00:39:23.480 coming up in about 60 seconds

00:39:25.140 pat and stew for glenn glenn is actually uh preparing to be at the uh big swearing in

00:39:40.780 the second swearing in for ron desantis oh yeah uh yeah so that'll be kind of cool be able to see him

00:39:47.980 sworn in for a second term hard to believe he's only been around for one term so far he's come a

00:39:54.020 long way in four years yeah a really long way he won his first election by 0.4 percent i believe it

00:40:00.260 was wow and his second by 19 i think it was yeah 19 which is pretty pretty amazing people forget that

00:40:06.800 he was a congressman before this and uh a pretty good one he was a you know conservative then too

00:40:13.980 i guess it shouldn't be a shock but now he is by some polling the leader for the republican nomination

00:40:21.640 in 2024 depending there's a i mean polling i will say is all over the board between him and trump

00:40:25.900 really you could find whatever you want to find in that polling at this point i don't know that it

00:40:29.820 tells you all that much but he's certainly a serious competitor for that nomination yeah no question

00:40:34.880 um meanwhile vladimir zelensky the leader of ukraine uh thanked americans for all the cash and military

00:40:42.800 equipment and what is it maybe a hundred billion so far i mean i see estimates from as low as 18

00:40:50.380 billion to as high as about 110 billion so somewhere in between no doubt but they're throwing billions at

00:40:59.780 them every single week it seems almost every week there's a new proposal to send more money

00:41:04.460 to ukraine yeah and so incredible uh zelensky thanked us for that and then basically said keep

00:41:12.280 it coming and we need a lot more and you're not doing enough and this is not charity it's an

00:41:18.920 investment it's sort of weird i mean did you need a visit from zelensky i didn't okay i want to make

00:41:26.440 sure i wasn't the only one i did not need it yeah i didn't and like i'm not even saying that as

00:41:29.960 because oh he's you know some terrible guy or like i want vladimir putin to win well that's what

00:41:35.420 you're that's what you're accused of if you say the least little thing about hey uh can we slow down

00:41:40.180 on ukraine right it's like but even if you're 100 behind every dime of spending shouldn't you want

00:41:46.420 him to stay there and like manage the situation like yeah we don't need to see you in person we've

00:41:51.640 got zoom you know there's no reason for it that i could see no that was very that was odd but you

00:41:58.860 know look this money's going over there and we know a lot of it's not going to to meet its intended

00:42:04.780 purpose yeah and there's no way we can track it i mean we're not we're not even trying to track it

00:42:10.400 there's there is literally no way to track it i mean think about this the vast majority of this

00:42:16.100 money is being utilized for items that are designed to explode right like we in its best case scenario

00:42:27.600 what we do is we send let's say a missile a drone over to uh to the ukrainian army they fire it and it

00:42:36.500 takes out really bad russian soldiers who are doing terrible things right like legend that's the best case

00:42:41.340 scenario of what happens yeah um there's no way to track that it exploded yeah right like there's no

00:42:49.860 it's not like we can say well where is it it's it's over there it's it's that where that hole is over

00:42:54.400 there it's the remnants are there and so there's no way to track this of course every every corrupt

00:43:01.580 person in ukraine knows this and this is the problem we all know in fact even if you support this entirely

00:43:10.720 you have to go into it and say we know half this money is going to be wasted or worse you know the

00:43:17.240 arms may be delivered right and some corrupt person may take them and sell them to someone else who

00:43:25.460 does something terrible with them we have no idea what's going to happen here we you know i think

00:43:30.880 there's been some effect from this obviously as they pushed back on the russian army a huge effect

00:43:36.840 it's been a big on this thing it hasn't been unsuccessful for the goal of pushing russia

00:43:41.640 back which is you know certainly positive i am no fan of russia and and do believe that russia was

00:43:48.260 the aggressor here and uh you know look vladimir putin is an appropriate bad guy that doesn't mean

00:43:54.620 zelensky is god no but that's how he's that's how he's treated though by a lot of people in this

00:44:01.840 country and you know they've taken to flying the ukrainian flag they've they they've taken to uh

00:44:08.800 vocally supporting zelensky and what a tremendous man he is and he's treated like at least a saint

00:44:15.300 yeah and he's not no he's not it was well known before this conflict began that the ukrainian

00:44:22.460 government is one of the most corrupt in the world yep so did they just stop all of a sudden being

00:44:27.820 corrupt i don't think so and thus i'm a little leery about all the money we're sending well it's

00:44:32.700 funny one of the reasons we kind of had one of the look people don't people know enough before this

00:44:39.300 war people knew as much about ukraine as they know about george santos which is nothing okay yeah they

00:44:44.720 don't know anything about it they didn't know anything about ukraine the only thing that most

00:44:48.420 people knew about ukraine was that the ukrainian president vladimir zelensky was taking phone calls

00:44:54.780 from our president in which the media was telling us it was an entirely corrupt transaction where

00:45:01.440 donald trump was harassing uh zelensky who seemingly was going along with it into investigating his

00:45:10.220 political enemies right that's the only thing we knew about the guy other than he was a comedian

00:45:14.340 supposedly and and now we're supposed to be like oh this guy's an incredible war hero look i think it

00:45:20.480 was really brave to stay there when you know the missiles start falling right and they start marching

00:45:25.140 towards the capital he could have left i think a lot of leaders would have left in that situation and

00:45:31.060 probably him staying there was a big factor to the way that the ukrainian people responded that's just

00:45:37.180 not to say that he's some incredible saint he's not god he's not someone you should be on your knees

00:45:43.280 worshiping yet most of our media seems to be there they seem to be willing to to change to the church

00:45:50.780 of zelensky and give him an unlimited amount of our money and that is where you get to like it's not

00:45:57.640 as if we're in a great financial position here it's not as if we're everything's going perfectly in our

00:46:04.180 economy of money to burn right where that and that's again legitimately what we're hoping for

00:46:10.340 our best case scenario is this money buys things that burn buys weapons that hit something and

00:46:19.440 explode that's our best case scenario so it's really hard to track and really difficult to believe that

00:46:26.800 anything other than mass corruption is going to be involved with so much of this money of course it

00:46:31.460 is mildest son was i mean this is a minor issue but you know speaking of his visit my son said uh

00:46:40.280 shouldn't we expect him to at least i don't know put on a collared shirt when he comes and addresses

00:46:45.620 congress don't we expect i don't know something more than a t-shirt or a sweatshirt when you come

00:46:53.880 here and say hat in hand hey i need another hundred billion dollars and this is your son uh vladimir

00:47:00.120 because i was going to say is he pro

00:47:03.240 right russian he's got to be pro russian through loves it if he really wanted a collared shirt for

00:47:09.860 zelinski that proves he's pro russian maybe even a tie i don't know wow how about that like a collared

00:47:17.980 shirt buttoned all the way up and a tie he's got a shtick though he's got it yeah he does now that's

00:47:23.520 how he dresses all the time it's like if if you know john fetterman shtick though it is yeah right

00:47:29.420 john fetterman can wear hoodies wherever he wants yep you know kim jong-un can wear members only

00:47:33.460 jackets wherever he wants and zelinski gets to wear the military garb wherever he goes yes even though

00:47:40.380 again he was a comedian this is not it's not a former general a comedian one of his famous bits

00:47:46.320 is playing the piano with his man unit oh yeah yeah it's really classy oh just so funny i laughed

00:47:56.080 until i cried uh just brilliant stuff you imagine the president of your nation and you've got clips

00:48:02.780 you know viral clips like that sad and uh but it it's going to get worse before it gets any better

00:48:10.860 because we're just going to continue to pump money and nobody's nobody's even hitting a the brakes on

00:48:17.240 it at all we don't even have a a caution light up nothing we're just full speed ahead green light

00:48:23.580 as much money as you want we're going to keep pumping it in incredible do you think the because i i think

00:48:30.720 we're not going to change anything we're we're going to keep doing what we're doing for a for a very

00:48:37.860 long time at least until the net until 2024 like i don't think there's any question that until

00:48:43.460 actually until 2025 i mean biden has said it yeah we're just going to keep giving it until

00:48:48.520 well until as long as this lasts as long as this lasts and it's even if it ends tomorrow we're still

00:48:53.420 going to be pumping in billions of dollars at least until biden is out of office at the very minimum

00:48:57.260 do you think though that europe continues with this because you know we're at that point as we're

00:49:02.700 heading into winter right now yeah things are going to get very difficult for really tough for europe

00:49:07.320 uh you know and like i don't they don't exactly have the steel spine uh on these matters all the

00:49:14.980 time though they do feel more intensely threatened i think by russia and their actions i mean look right

00:49:20.760 you know if you're sitting there in europe and you're seeing them go into ukraine it's pretty

00:49:27.360 reasonable to think crap will they come here next yeah if you're poland you're really concerned you're

00:49:33.000 nervous right now so i can understand that but i don't know how long does france hold out

00:49:38.260 as a supporter of this not as long as we do i bet right no way and of course that just means we're

00:49:44.060 going to pay for more of it we'll pay for the rebuilding too yeah we'll do all this right that's

00:49:49.500 because that's what's going to happen too we're going to rebuild all the buildings yeah that you know

00:49:53.880 we're blown up by us or or them or us retaliating at them yeah at russia it's just such a mess

00:50:02.280 this is why you do try to avoid these things if at all possible if possible try not to get in giant

00:50:08.520 wars between countries with tens of millions of people it's a really good safety tip actually

00:50:12.320 888-727-BECK more in one minute

00:50:15.660 i'm just going to bring a billion a trillion seven hundred billion dollars billion dollars off

00:50:25.760 the sidelines investment right in the investment into ukraine a million billion trillion seven hundred

00:50:33.920 million billion trillion dollars it's about how much we have invested invested so far in ukraine

00:50:41.340 i don't think anybody even knows the exact figure i mean of course they're all over the place with

00:50:46.820 the estimates uh and they're asking for the biggest uh donation yet i'm sorry investment yet which is

00:50:54.140 what 45 billion i believe they just uh promised to put in a bill uh to send over to zelinski in the

00:51:01.940 ukrainian effort really something we'll see we'll see how this goes uh they they are in a standoff in

00:51:08.060 the east they say and this has taken a toll on both countries both countries have supposedly lost

00:51:15.700 over a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in in the case of ukraine uh a hundred thousand

00:51:23.400 and a hundred thousand russian troops during the um during the conflict with afghanistan i think russia

00:51:32.400 lost was it 15 000 troops so they've lost more in what 10 months than they did in 10 years

00:51:41.380 in afghanistan by a lot i mean a factor of five at least so this war is not helping anybody and uh it

00:51:50.960 would be nice to see it come to a conclusion wouldn't it be it would really be great and europe like you

00:51:57.760 just mentioned uh stew moments ago is really nervous because you know it's cold in europe and

00:52:02.820 they could be cut off at any time by russia uh fortunately we weren't cut off by anybody

00:52:08.260 around christmas time because man did it get cold here were you you were in town right when yeah when

00:52:14.460 the cold snap hit yes oh my gosh now again keeping things in perspective obviously our friends up north

00:52:21.320 not uh not feeling bad for us it was actually but it was the the wind chill factor on i don't know i

00:52:28.960 think it was the thursday before christmas was four below zero four below that's pretty cold for

00:52:36.660 anywhere that's not just texas cold that's pretty cold now today it's gonna be you know 80 80 i was

00:52:43.080 gonna say there's about 70 coming in uh yeah so it's true it was very very our our our stresses on

00:52:49.720 weather or not the stresses i mean you got good god what happened in buffalo uh and the surrounding

00:52:54.920 areas there is one of the most was it the snow bomb or whatever the cyclone snow bomb i mean dozens of

00:53:02.440 people died yeah that's really sad really sad i mean that's incredible uh and so we've seen some real

00:53:09.800 but i mean think about that type of activity you know in europe where if they decide to cut off

00:53:17.620 of heating people will die oh my gosh i mean instant tragedy of thousands uh so that's you know that

00:53:25.680 it really is incredible to watch all that play out because it's easy to talk about these international

00:53:33.020 issues as you know as analysts right like a lot of the hawks out there that that that were pushing for

00:53:40.840 a lot of the the the policies that led up to this both on the russian side and the the western side

00:53:49.200 talk you talk about holding that line and it's understandable you want to hold a line

00:53:54.320 but uh when this stuff goes down you realize that maybe this isn't good for anybody you know it's like

00:54:03.480 it seems obvious in retrospect but before this it wasn't you know i mean zelinski was on television

00:54:09.600 saying they weren't going to invade oh you're right you know for right a guy who's the hero of

00:54:15.260 the world shortly before they invaded right a few days before they invaded he was still saying they're

00:54:20.520 not going to do it wow well they did it they did it yeah and here we are and here we are so i i don't

00:54:27.040 know if it's you know you still have it's interesting how the sides have flipped a little bit on this and

00:54:32.500 that like the hawkish party was supposed to be the republicans you know and republicans were the ones

00:54:38.620 who are always trying to stop russia republicans were the ones who wanted the soviet union uh you

00:54:44.440 know back in the day to go away democrats were visiting it you know they were taking honeymoons

00:54:49.140 of the soviet union they were going to communist countries for you know vacations and now i guess

00:54:56.300 because we were supposed to believe that donald trump was working for the russians or something now

00:55:00.780 we're supposed to be on the russian side and and the left is supposed to be the hawkish ones pushing

00:55:06.200 back it's like what is going on i am not on the russian side right not by a long stretch by any

00:55:12.960 means you know i don't want them to win as they we are accused of all the time but i also do think

00:55:20.720 we have a responsibility number one to act in the best interests of america and it is appropriate and

00:55:32.120 necessary to make sure we are constantly thinking about whether sending billions of dollars to ukraine

00:55:38.720 is in the best interest of america if it is you can make an argument for it if you haven't thought

00:55:43.700 about it as part of your calculation then you should not be making these decisions yeah and the other

00:55:49.260 thing is this is how vietnam started you know with pledges that we would never send troops but we would

00:55:57.340 just lend support oh and advisors which you know it's exactly what we're doing right now we're advising

00:56:03.560 and we're sending tons and tons of money and equipment so can we guarantee that that we're not

00:56:11.720 going to send military troops over there i don't think you can guarantee that they keep saying that

00:56:17.660 there's no plan to but they said that about vietnam as well and that's that's my ultimate concern

00:56:23.800 here is that we don't get involved directly in a conflict with russia uh because first of all it's

00:56:31.240 not our fight it isn't our fight um i will say one thing that's interesting about this is that

00:56:37.220 from my perspective what i want is i want it over because it's creating so many problems not just there

00:56:43.060 and i care like i care that there are innocent people in ukraine dying i care that there are innocent

00:56:48.620 people in russia who will probably die as well uh all of this is a problem and i don't want it to

00:56:54.280 happen i want it over for that reason and tons of other reasons that are affecting all of us here

00:57:01.000 and in europe and all around the world there's a million problems that stem from this but like

00:57:05.620 if you're ukraine would you be would you be look i want to get to negotiate but you guys sure you guys

00:57:11.920 can have crimea and sure you can have these regions and don't with no big deal we want it over too

00:57:16.200 i got i don't know i mean i if they just came in and were like ah we just wanted new mexico

00:57:21.620 you know yeah we're like okay just take it we want this over so go ahead you can have new mexico i

00:57:27.280 don't think that would be our stance no and i'm sure it's not theirs the people of ukraine have got to

00:57:32.300 be saying we're not going to negotiate this right now forget it

00:57:35.640 the glenn back program

00:57:39.900 it's pat and stew for glenn

00:57:46.480 888-727-BECK

00:57:48.900 uh normally january 2nd like the worst time of the year

00:57:52.720 you know you got christmas behind you

00:57:55.340 got new year's behind you

00:57:58.060 the only thing that saves is that there's still just a little bit of football left

00:58:02.340 you got that to look forward to uh but you can take

00:58:06.680 a little bit of the edge off the misery for this time of year by going to kexy.com

00:58:13.200 and just order yourself some cookies to drown your sorrow

00:58:16.080 we brought back a bunch of the quick cookies that people have been uh talking about for a while like

00:58:21.700 the hot chocolate cookie really good black forest was just a cherry chocolate cookie

00:58:26.780 made with real cherries butter beer based you know on the harry potter thing

00:58:32.140 that one was good i remember that one vanilla and butterscotch cookie with a butterscotch cream

00:58:36.720 uh and then the m&m cookie that i hear a lot about uh that's back that was my initial one that was my

00:58:42.420 original you brought that in original favorite yeah this is of course pat's uh wife has all these

00:58:47.700 recipes jackie and she makes incredible cookies the best i've ever had and and though that was the

00:58:52.400 one you'd bring it in every year i was like gosh yeah that oh it is america needs these it does it

00:58:58.460 especially right now yeah so you can order it at kexy.com use the promo code the jeffy

00:59:04.080 to get 18 off all right 888 900 or 727 beck 888 727 beck a little bit of common sense

00:59:16.900 coming from the world boxing council which is not necessarily a place i would figure you would find

00:59:25.340 a lot of common sense but the head of the wbc has announced a new policy that uh they're creating

00:59:35.560 a transgender category um so if you're transgender you fight other people who are also

00:59:43.720 transgender and right now they're doing a uh sort of a research project on it to find out how many

00:59:51.340 there are uh who would be in in interested in uh boxing league the number i would get limited is the

00:59:58.700 number that i would estimate it somewhat limited limited yeah estimated as limited but what he's

01:00:03.460 concerned about and so am i and we've talked about this is he said biological men will never fight women

01:00:11.920 in in our league and i think that's brilliant because you could get some seriously injured

01:00:19.680 women who are fighting against guys who identify as women right i mean and it has it's just not fair

01:00:28.380 it has happened it's not pretty i think it was a ufc or some mma fight uh a biological man

01:00:36.780 fought a woman because he identified as a woman and broke her face essentially just busted out her

01:00:45.920 uh you know that bone that's right below your eye orbital bone and you just i mean you hate that

01:00:54.580 kind of stuff i mean somebody could get seriously there's already injuries in boxing but you increase

01:01:02.540 the risk exponentially even death or death absolutely on the table in this sort of situation if a man

01:01:08.140 is saying he's a woman is fighting another woman you could literally have death as a consequence to

01:01:14.920 that it's interesting because i and i am maybe i'm a wuss i cannot watch even female versus female

01:01:24.620 boxing like i have literally no interest in it do not want to watch it for a second oh my 100 it is

01:01:31.000 really what it is is legitimate sexism that i admit to fully i have no interest in watching all have

01:01:37.460 that kind of sexism i think i i think so too let's protect women let's protect them i do not want to

01:01:42.900 see a woman hit i don't want to see i don't care if it's another woman i do not want to see a woman get

01:01:51.020 hit and i i don't know if that's wrong i don't want to be right right like i i i'm 100 there you know

01:01:58.260 i i wasn't uh who was the um uh she was in uh gina uh what's her name she was a former mma

01:02:06.440 fighter she was in the star wars series she got canceled i can't think of her name for some reason

01:02:11.300 but uh she was in this and i and people knew her i guess from fighting and and like oh look this has

01:02:18.120 been a tradition there's been there was women's wrestling you know the women's boxing thing became

01:02:22.660 a big thing over the past few years but like i have no interest in it i mean none because i

01:02:30.100 yeah i don't either like fundamentally you just don't want to see violence against a woman i mean

01:02:33.580 watch dudes beat up on each other i've watched that all day yeah i mean watch the nfl these guys

01:02:39.940 are getting cracked like crazy i mean it's but even that's hard to watch when you see a really brutal hit

01:02:44.560 in the nfl yeah somebody gets hurt right i mean no interest in that i will say is it concerning at

01:02:51.460 all that they're saying they want to do did they use a like a singular transgender division because

01:02:57.820 i'm we'd be worried about a transgender woman and a transgender man doing battle i think they match up

01:03:05.700 they match up the biological sex so that was two extra i mean this is going to get ridiculous

01:03:09.900 you're going to have 914 bathrooms and you're going to have all these different divisions i don't know

01:03:15.700 how you're supposed to handle it but but at least he's trying to make some

01:03:21.180 concessions here and trying to take some uh some precautionary steps to prevent you know women

01:03:30.300 getting really badly hurt or killed yeah in the ring and i think it's great and where are the women's

01:03:35.500 rights groups applauding this where are the women's groups saying hey thank you thank you for protecting

01:03:40.620 women that's great we appreciate that instead what he's going to face i'm sure is a bunch of

01:03:47.320 transphobia claims you're a bigot all of that kind of stuff yeah you can't write parody like this i mean

01:03:54.600 it's just we're all going to sit here for women's rights and argue that women should be punched by men

01:04:00.020 that's really like this is really where we're going to get a pretty bad argument that is really think

01:04:05.660 about it it is wait you want women to be hit in the face by a big burly man he's not a man

01:04:12.300 she that's a she okay all right all right all right dear all right but i will say at least this

01:04:19.220 seems to be because the solutions are going to be messy to these problems but at least this is

01:04:23.800 clearing the lowest hurdle possible which is we should not let men beat the crap out of women on

01:04:28.820 stage i feel like low hurdle to clear yeah it's like an inch off the ground not even that that's like

01:04:35.340 the lowest hurdle i can think of and i do think it's one we should make sure that we clear

01:04:39.860 regardless of how ridiculous this becomes but it is it's just a it's it's like we have to sit here

01:04:47.480 and like say these things how can it be possible that we have to sit here and make a coherent

01:04:53.080 argument really don't know about how men should not be being paid to punch women in the face for

01:04:59.120 our entertainment how is it possible that we have to make that argument and be we're on the hateful

01:05:04.460 side of it somehow right somehow we're the ones we're the haters that are the haters we're the bad

01:05:10.020 guys for saying you know maybe bill shouldn't beat up on julia you know in front of a cheering audience

01:05:17.800 yeah even if bill changed his name to jill right it's still that doesn't take away the bone structure

01:05:27.300 in his body no and the muscle structure uh wbc president mauricio suleman said we're creating

01:05:34.920 a set of rules and structures so that transgender boxing can take place as they fully deserve to if

01:05:40.980 they want to box we do not know yet the numbers that are out there but we're opening a universal

01:05:46.920 registration in 2023 so that we can understand the boxers that are out there and we'll start from

01:05:52.740 there makes perfect sense he said uh in boxing a man fighting a woman must never be accepted

01:06:00.740 regardless of gender change there should be no gray area around this and we want to go into it

01:06:06.860 with transparency and correct decisions woman to man or man to woman transgender change will never be

01:06:13.480 allowed to fight a different gender by birth that's great i mean that takes some giblets to be able to

01:06:20.480 make that that statement now yeah agreed and it does and which it shouldn't it does right i will

01:06:26.760 say the word never is is always an interesting one to use i i don't know that i have the same level of

01:06:32.360 confidence in in anybody i certainly don't i don't either no i i i because he's gonna get all kinds

01:06:39.400 of flack for this you know he is i mean maybe maybe maybe there's a line i mean just because i think you

01:06:45.200 know this is interesting i think society has this line still uh i think society holds these lines

01:06:51.540 society where men should get women really they still believe this yes there are a few insane people

01:06:57.460 that are on the news all the time that will say of course they should be that's actually a woman but

01:07:01.640 like we all know that's not reality yeah we all know it's not reality and i do think people on the

01:07:09.620 left also know it like some of them say they don't know it some of them act as if they think oh this is

01:07:16.180 actually a woman but they all know what's going on here and the test of it is not swimming competitions

01:07:24.100 the test of it is boxing yeah right like if you really believe this you'd say they should fight each

01:07:31.080 other and you know what a lot of people are not going to say that you know most people are still going

01:07:36.540 to be sane and say of course not obviously this guy who is very hairy and weighs 265 pounds should

01:07:47.440 not be going up against a woman uh in a boxing ring and i think the violence might hold that line for a

01:07:55.220 while i think sports generally have done a good job at holding that line because of how absurd it feels

01:08:02.140 i mean even the swimming competition stuff i don't think that worked for the left i think that worked

01:08:06.100 against them you know the the whole situation where you have a a guy going into a women's

01:08:12.620 swim meet and winning by you know 12 laps or whatever it was uh that really i think hit a lot

01:08:20.920 of parents squarely in the face wait a minute i can entertain this stuff i can come up with my nice

01:08:26.420 liberal viewpoints i can be accepted at all my little uh you know uh cocktail parties and and all of this

01:08:33.040 but at the end like my daughter is the one who gets screwed over this and we all realize that's

01:08:37.880 wrong and i think that that has gone a long way violence is a whole different line right if you

01:08:42.800 start okaying violence against women and and they will there were these organizations some of them will

01:08:49.420 do it but i don't think the people go along with that and there was even a little you know you

01:08:53.400 mentioned the swimmer leah thomas yes uh or yeah leah thomas and there was a little bit of pushback

01:08:59.320 there because the competitors to leah thomas were upset with it yeah they're like okay you're taking

01:09:06.040 scholarships away from us yeah you're taking olympic opportunities away from us and we fought our whole

01:09:11.660 lives for this so i think there was a little bit of pushback there but yeah the violence the in

01:09:19.500 boxing you've got to draw the line there 888-727-BECK this is the glenn back program

01:09:28.480 888-727-BECK is the number patents do for glenn the new york times did an interesting poll

01:09:40.960 which i have to imagine they thought would turn out a different way basically would you use the

01:09:47.600 following terms we were talking about this a minute ago about things like leah thomas the swimmer

01:09:52.180 and how i don't think americans really supported that even though the left has pushed for it i don't

01:09:58.420 think they support this stuff i don't think they believe it i don't think they use it in their real

01:10:01.360 lives well the new york times decided to i guess kind of test this in a way what if we ask americans

01:10:08.940 do they use these words or not and the words are words you've heard of like latinx like chest feeding

01:10:18.160 like bipoc right do you use those terms or not or do you use breastfeeding hispanic

01:10:26.300 the numbers are pretty amazing so hispanic was the one used most often 87 people said

01:10:34.060 they would use hispanic 86 said they would use pregnant women 85 said breastfeeding now again

01:10:41.220 all these are supposed to be hateful terms 84 said they would use the term master bedroom

01:10:46.140 oh god and ridiculous 81 said they would use asian 77 said african-american but 75 said black

01:10:56.460 wait asian what is the alternative now they're you're not supposed to say api

01:11:00.780 what yeah a-i-p-i a-a-p-i island yeah a asian american pacific islander okay yeah okay that's

01:11:09.440 ridiculous who's gonna say that right so come on so now go down the list now again it was 80

01:11:17.380 77 said african-american was okay black 75 would you say person of color that's only 49 think that

01:11:26.060 that that that's okay that that's okay 49 would say that primary bedroom never master bedroom was

01:11:31.580 80 84 primary bedroom only 49 um birthing parent 34 percent bipoc that's uh what by uh it's a

01:11:46.060 bipoc is uh i know person of color is the end no uh black indigenous person of color okay that's

01:11:54.000 only 30 percent wow uh aapi is on the list as well now remember asian was 81 would say that aapi

01:12:02.020 27 latinx is on the list now remember hispanic was number one on the entire list 87 said they would

01:12:09.700 use the term hispanic is it latinx or is it latinx i don't know i don't know either i like uh

01:12:15.600 biden's pronunciation which is latinx that is what he that's how he calls i love that and the latinx

01:12:23.280 people well uh no matter which way you uh pronounce that only 22 said they would use the term latinx

01:12:31.300 and how about chest feeding chest feeding finished dead last so breastfeeding was 85 said yes we'll

01:12:39.320 use breastfeeding chest feeding was 10 85 to 10 but you look at these pairs i'd like to see you chest

01:14:20.740 he's got two more years yeah yeah and by the way that should shock you he's got two more years at

01:14:25.980 least of this maybe six we're only halfway through halfway through how can we make it through the

01:14:31.040 other half radio show starts in just a few seconds

01:14:34.880 got no room to compromise

01:15:01.880 what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment

01:15:25.680 enlightenment and enlightenment this is the glenn back program

01:15:30.920 featuring pat and stew uh new york times did kind of an interesting uh interview with anthony

01:15:39.780 fauci over the christmas season and we'll show you some of the things that were revealed from that

01:15:45.880 also there's another shortage to take note of we'll get into that and more in about 60 seconds

01:15:53.100 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn deck program pharmacists and parents across the country are

01:16:16.840 contending with empty shelves as they search for children's pain relief medications uh amid the spread of

01:16:23.940 rsv flu and covid i i am just this is the first i'm hearing of the children's medicine shortage

01:16:32.260 uh the surge of respiratory viruses has overwhelmed hospitals and doctors offices

01:16:39.500 76 of pediatric hospital beds were full nationally as of today according to the department of health and

01:16:47.460 human services cvs and walgreens announced that they're limiting the number of children's pain

01:16:54.000 relief medications customers can buy i i mean we've had a big outbreaks of flu and rsv and whatever

01:17:01.880 in the past and i don't remember this ever happening before why is this happening now yeah i don't

01:17:08.940 remember it happening either really weird yeah and it doesn't seem like the pitch that we've had over

01:17:13.820 the past couple of years which has been the supply chain stuff it doesn't seem like that should be the

01:17:17.940 case anymore no there's a lot of medications they're having problems with we also remember the

01:17:23.060 baby formula shortage that was going on and it seems to still be going on at some level yeah it doesn't

01:17:29.340 seem like we as a country are able to solve basic issues anymore it's a really fundamental problem

01:17:36.560 but like it does when we have these issues that i feel like america used to be able to handle very

01:17:43.340 easily it doesn't seem like we're able to do that anymore part of that i think is they say part of this

01:17:49.700 is sort of china based because you know china went through this whole thing where they try to do zero

01:17:55.500 covid for all this time and now they're coming they're finally saying okay we can't do this this

01:17:59.840 isn't going to work which of course is true but because they've locked down their population so

01:18:05.460 tightly for multiple years many of them have not had covid yet they haven't had kind of what we've

01:18:10.740 gone through which is everybody's sort of got it and you have everybody at this point almost every soul

01:18:17.080 in america has some level of protection against covid yeah almost everybody has something

01:18:24.800 whether you've had some medicate whether you you know there might be a medication you prefer you maybe

01:18:30.420 you'd like the vaccine maybe you don't like it you just got it naturally you know you got it uh you

01:18:34.680 know through someone sneezing in your face or whatever everybody's got something now that protects them

01:18:40.540 at some level that's not the case in china and including a lot of their old people who if they got

01:18:47.020 anything at all likely got the really crappy chinese vaccines so don't do much of anything

01:18:53.700 almost don't work at all right i mean those are almost worthless ours are pretty bad there's a

01:18:59.000 virtually worthless so there's nothing really there right like so they they are now going to a place

01:19:04.800 where they're taking the sort of scary part of covid on for the first time because they supposedly locked

01:19:13.120 their they could i mean they locked their country down they didn't really only have a few thousand

01:19:17.180 deaths that's obviously a lie it's been much worse there than they've disclosed but still there's a much

01:19:23.740 larger chunk of people who have been unaffected by it than in other areas of the world and they're about

01:19:30.620 to be so that long story to be said that they are now you know trying to figure out

01:19:37.040 how to produce all the things they produce for our country yeah in the middle of that crisis which is

01:19:44.760 not easy i guess that might be a component in this uh there's a doctor a longtime doctor says this is

01:19:50.000 something that's just always been available and now it's not he said i've been practicing for 34 years

01:19:56.400 this is the first time i've ever had to worry about being able to recommend tylenol advil or motrin

01:20:01.760 because they're not available incredible that's a should not be the case this is not a third world

01:20:08.500 nation why are we having these third world problems very bizarre uh meanwhile i blame george santos by the

01:20:16.420 way for this i hate they're gonna uncover it eventually the highly sought after highly respected

01:20:23.080 represented representative from new york yeah the first exaggerated his resume yeah the first openly

01:20:28.720 gay republican elected as a non-incumbent that's so i i pretty much just will blame him for anything

01:20:37.660 all right well and i think that's uh it's all proven yeah i mean it makes sense uh anthony fauci

01:20:44.860 had the new york times uh come over to his home do some interviews with him and uh there were some

01:20:51.220 revealing things in his house like the fact that he's got portraits of himself all over his house

01:20:59.520 i mean what's wrong with that who does that who's got giant portraits of themselves in their office

01:21:10.220 kim jong-un okay yes yes uh if your mouth's a tongue yeah you probably do as well um but he hasn't been

01:21:19.380 around in a while this isn't him like posing with his family for no no it's him just him by himself

01:21:26.080 yes he's got bobbleheads of him he's got massive uh portraits hanging all over the place in his home

01:21:33.400 of him anthony fauci loves anthony fauci nobody loves anthony fauci more than anthony fauci that's

01:21:41.180 impossible you can't you can't it's interesting because i mean you know like i i don't think i would

01:21:48.820 i don't even like to look in the mirror let alone have a painting of myself up like i i'm revolted

01:21:55.460 when i pass by a a piece of reflective glass i would definitely not want photo you know

01:22:03.560 portraits of myself especially by myself like you know you have a picture of your family up i can

01:22:07.820 understand that yes if it's you and your wife or you and your wife and kids yeah grandkids whatever

01:22:13.000 that's understandable and like you know and we have some we've obviously been in you know the

01:22:18.380 media for too long and you know like we have a studos merch.com right now now that has a bunch of

01:22:25.160 merchandise that we sell right for for uh you know for fans of the show and over the years i don't think

01:22:31.340 there's any up there right now but over the years there have been many items that have had our stupid

01:22:35.400 faces on them they're never on display at my home no like right like no there's i have a box somewhere

01:22:42.920 where i stick old merchandise that i keep you know for the archives i guess i mean that there's a box

01:22:47.940 with a bunch of stuff of that like that in there but i'm not gonna no way no way would you would you

01:22:51.980 frame it and put up put it up on the wall right no way there's just no way so uh new york times

01:22:58.480 cheryl stolbert said the walls in dr anthony fauci's home and his home office are adorned with

01:23:05.400 portraits of him an embarrassed fauci is uncomfortable with her being there and witnessing

01:23:10.620 all of these bobbleheads and portraits in his house she writes because he believes the far right

01:23:15.760 will now attack him as an egomaniac well yeah only because you are right an egomaniac and we've known

01:23:22.920 that forever he also uh referred to himself in third person like multiple times throughout this

01:23:28.760 article the guy is just so in love with himself it's it should be embarrassing to him i i would be

01:23:37.800 worried about him if he weren't embarrassed by this but you know what you wouldn't have to be

01:23:42.380 embarrassed if you didn't have the portraits of yourself all over the place i mean who who does that

01:23:47.280 yeah really it's usually dictators it is usually people have missile parades

01:23:51.880 that's usually the way that goes yeah you got your big fat face up on buildings billboards statues if

01:24:01.700 you're the leader of north korea but not normally the head of the nih uh here in america would have

01:24:09.380 that it just shows what kind of guy this is um he also claimed that under vaccinated red states did much

01:24:17.140 worse than the the blue states during covid uh times is that even true i mean i i don't think

01:24:26.640 that's true i'd have to do some research on that but um did we have more deaths in red states than

01:24:33.320 they did in blue like did texas have more deaths in california or new york i don't think so

01:24:39.260 yeah i mean you know there's per capita people will find whatever they want to find in this data

01:24:45.240 at this point i mean i don't you know it's so it's on both sides people will find whatever whatever

01:24:50.620 they want the bottom line though to this entire situation is we all recognize that things like

01:24:58.640 this are a trade-off right you know that the old saying uh thomas soul that you know there's no such

01:25:04.860 thing as solutions there's only trade-offs when if you want to lock your population down if we want

01:25:09.780 to put everybody into their own little sealed phone booth so they can't interact with any other people

01:25:15.320 and we deliver their their nutrients by tube you could probably create you could probably stop a lot

01:25:21.640 of covid cases right like you could probably do it would that be worth it you know fundamentally

01:25:28.740 you can look at data and find um you know you're like you know i think it was mississippi that did

01:25:35.200 particularly poorly when it comes to a uh per capita death toll you can find data like that and you can

01:25:43.540 find you can look at it both ways you can find obviously new york is the primary example of a of a death

01:25:50.840 rate that was incredibly high right you can find that data you can do it but again it has to be

01:25:56.860 a decision made with the entire scope of life and if you're looking at it as an entire scope of life

01:26:05.700 did you lock down your entire population far too long but make them wear masks make their kids not be

01:26:12.260 educated learning loss loss of relatives you know connection with relatives not being able to go to

01:26:19.520 the funeral of your loved ones well of course the people in washington got to go to john lewis's funeral

01:26:23.920 of course they got to do that but you didn't get to do it you didn't get to visit your loved ones as

01:26:28.620 they were dying in the hospital you didn't get to go help a needy friend or relative who needed your

01:26:35.060 support at a trying time you didn't get to see your relatives for all this and like at the end of the

01:26:42.200 day isn't the right balance for people to be able to make these choices themselves to be able to weigh

01:26:49.400 these risks themselves and decide how much of life am i willing to give up to avoid this illness

01:26:54.680 you know for some people who are particularly vulnerable it might have been a lot for some

01:26:59.140 people who are particularly vulnerable it is a lot it was a lot and maybe that was the right choice for

01:27:05.400 them but to do it to an entire population to do it to children who had almost no risk of negative

01:27:13.960 effects associated that's borderline criminal to me yeah and you know we just mentioned uh china

01:27:22.440 look how they're faring right now i mean nobody locked down more and were had harsher restrictions

01:27:28.800 i i think during covet 19 than china and now they've got this massive outbreak again

01:27:34.360 and we don't even know because they lie um we don't even know how bad their situation is i mean there

01:27:41.560 are people that have said there's a hundred thousand infections per day in china right now

01:27:46.460 two years later over two years later 888-727-BECK more coming up

01:27:53.180 pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program 888-727-BECK uh president biden claims the secret

01:28:05.020 service agent according to a new book they claim that uh biden said the remember the agent the

01:28:12.440 secret service agent who got bitten by a dog like i don't know eight days in a row remember that yeah

01:28:18.220 it was kind of like once it was kind of severe yeah it was like sort of like sideshow bob it was he's

01:28:24.020 walking around and the simpsons into hitting a rake and they just kept hitting him in the face

01:28:27.300 he's a poor guy like that every place he's stepped he got bit by another dog all the same dog

01:28:32.080 uh so biden says he's he was lying according to this new book that's a lie wait what yeah

01:28:37.080 the secret service agent lied he said look the secret service are never up here it didn't happen

01:28:45.240 oh okay well wasn't he treated by a nurse there this should be pretty easy to track down

01:28:52.680 although i bet the secret service won't do that they won't look into it they won't cause any waves

01:28:58.480 because the president has denied it but they should they should biden thought somebody was lying

01:29:06.680 about the way the incident had gone down well the whole thing is i remember during during this

01:29:14.000 situation it was like okay you can't even be honest about your stupid dog we we have to do like

01:29:21.740 intelligence uh operations to discover whether or not your dog bit one of the secret service agents

01:29:29.140 apparently the dog was a little bit out of control at at one time and i don't know if it was eight days

01:29:34.740 in a row with the same agent or other agents were bitten yeah but uh he suspect the president

01:29:41.500 suspected that maga sympathizers were embedded in the secret service because the agency the agency is full of

01:29:50.000 white ex-cops from the south who tend to be deeply conservative wow i mean the paranoia of this guy

01:29:58.880 and his obsession with maga related uh issues just unbelievable to me the problem with it is it's

01:30:07.220 been it's paid off right it's been rewarded his obsession has been rewarded it has he became president

01:30:13.700 of the united states largely based on a campaign of i'm not donald trump that was really his only

01:30:19.680 argument as we went into the campaign he stayed in his basement and said i'm not donald trump a bunch

01:30:24.220 of times and then uh had quote unquote better than expected results in the midterm once again saying

01:30:33.340 ultra maga ultra maga ultra maga so this behavior has been rewarded and just pitting americans against

01:30:40.200 each other it's just it's despicable oh yeah start to finish oh it's definitely despicable the question

01:30:46.440 is does it work there's no apparently part of the calculation as to whether despicable is acceptable

01:30:52.280 for the biden family right they they're they're already very comfortable with that part of things

01:30:57.440 they are question is does it work if it failed miserably here you may have seen a different

01:31:03.740 change of tone but he's not going to change tone if it works and that's what calls me because they

01:31:09.740 you know they didn't absorb the beating they were supposed to absorb in november and they still

01:31:16.320 lost the house they're still in a worse position than they were true but they act like it was just

01:31:20.760 a massive overwhelming victory for him and it really wasn't no it's it's look it's spin i mean the bottom

01:31:26.320 line is back in the summer they were all predicting they were going to win the house and the senate and

01:31:31.280 they didn't they they lost the house look it was a disappointment for for us because we were hoping for more

01:31:35.900 control over what they were doing more more barriers to be put in place of terrible policy

01:31:42.300 didn't get all of them didn't get everything that you wanted of course but got something yeah you got

01:31:47.920 you got something there and i think you know look in some ways this might be positive for 2024 the way

01:31:54.060 this turned out there's an argument to be made this might be the best possible way why well you know

01:32:00.780 republicans still cleared the hurdle they had to clear which was come up with a way to stop two more

01:32:08.560 policies that only needed 50 votes right they were able to stop those now they weren't able to get

01:32:15.560 the the you know the ability to stop the supreme court justices and all that stuff that's going to be

01:32:20.520 a problem there's a lot of there's a lot of problems here but they got the lowest hurdle cleared

01:32:24.300 and i think the message sent to democrats despite the fact that they were supposedly going to do much

01:32:31.080 better in the summer they did better than expected in their minds and the message sent to them is hey

01:32:35.720 maybe we don't need to change you know maybe biden is fine as our candidate you know maybe maybe keep

01:32:41.300 we keep saying chest feeding over and over again maybe this is working maybe you know we start

01:32:46.760 saying that anyone who thinks a guy dressed in a women's swimsuit shouldn't be able to swim is a bad

01:32:53.200 person maybe we keep saying that you know maybe we keep going with the crt thing and they are and

01:32:59.140 they are and and you know what honestly like i think there were a lot of factors as to why

01:33:03.500 republicans did worse than expected and democrats outperformed their last minute expectations but i

01:33:10.460 will say like i don't think it's because they said chest feeding so much i don't think it's because

01:33:15.980 they went super um you know uh super crt in their in their racial breakdown of america i don't think

01:33:24.600 that was the reason they did better than they expected and so if if they do that's probably good

01:33:31.040 yeah it's probably good that they come into the 2024 election not only with crt and gender stuff

01:33:38.880 and all you know all of this other crazy nonsense but in addition with joe biden as the guy who's the

01:33:46.220 candidate and that is much much more likely than it was if republicans blew them out but the real

01:33:52.900 question is will republicans go with superstar george santos in 2024 he's the only guy on my mind

01:34:00.840 i'll tell you that i i say santos 2024 you know if he were he's my guy if he were getting elected in

01:34:08.100 2024 he'd be the first as a non-incumbent openly gay republican to win the presidency wow yeah wouldn't

01:34:14.860 that be great the glenn back program

01:34:48.500 blaze tv.com slash glenn promo code is glenn if you'd like to save 10 bucks so while we're on vacation uh

01:34:55.280 avatar the way of water came out what an enticing release oh way of water water which

01:35:02.960 will it go i've got i don't i must know which way will the water flow

01:35:09.780 it's just a dump of a i don't get it i didn't get it in 2009 or whenever it came out the first time

01:35:17.080 i don't get it now uh i haven't seen this one but uh it's made 440 million since it came out which is

01:35:24.640 you know it's a lot of money that's a lot although their ad budget was what a quarter of a billion

01:35:28.960 dollars so i don't know that i mean like it it i know for a fact it underperformed its initial here

01:35:37.100 it did here it did it was very it's very big worldwide it's 1.4 billion so far worldwide it's

01:35:41.660 interesting worldwide why do people worldwide like avatar i don't know you don't know i mean i will say

01:35:46.100 it does come off as quite anti-american could that be part of it i mean maybe if you're in china

01:35:50.860 it does seem to be a great movie i don't know yeah it's very anti-capitalist yeah you know it's

01:35:56.740 very anti uh humans humans it's super pro-environmentalist these aren't necessarily

01:36:03.240 cores of the american culture uh but you know for whatever reason it does perform much better

01:36:09.780 overseas than it does here which is to be expected here though it did underperform the reason i know this

01:36:14.680 is because of this bet that i made months ago with a friend who we're all yeah we were all together

01:36:22.220 and we were we're talking about somehow avatar came out and we were just talking about it and we made

01:36:26.740 this point that i think is obviously rational that any huge movie that made 1.4 billion dollars

01:36:32.660 every other example of it has meaning memorable characters memorable story arcs memorable lines

01:36:41.080 memorable sequences it makes a cultural impact makes some sort of cultural impact right like

01:36:46.340 you know if i tell you toy story like you're going to be able to come with several things from toy

01:36:50.760 story star wars titanic another james cameron movie jurassic park jurassic park you're going to be

01:36:56.680 people will remember all sorts of things from this no one remembers anything from avatar not one

01:37:03.940 character name not one significant plot point other than just like i wasn't the blue people in the

01:37:10.040 ocean like that's it couldn't have really told you who starred in it no no one knows who started

01:37:14.960 it i mean even one of the actresses in this latest one forgot she was in it or forgot it didn't come

01:37:19.900 out yet oh yeah did you see that she thought it already had been released and flopped yeah that's

01:37:24.100 why i saw that and then it came out she's like oh that movie hadn't even come out yet that's how

01:37:27.200 long it's been since they filmed this thing incredible so uh so i was talking to my friends and and

01:37:33.980 this is right around the time top gun maverick is out and it's you know lighting the box office on

01:37:39.840 fire and i'm like you know it just made no impact like you know something like top gun maverick made

01:37:43.220 a big big impact well i have this one friend uh who who starts defending avatar and he's like no

01:37:49.680 actually davis you know i it's gonna i guarantee avatar 2 does does more box office business than top

01:37:56.620 gun maverick and i thought to myself that's completely insane this is at the peak of maverick

01:38:03.320 mania avatar 2 who's even mentioned it in 10 years right like nobody no one no one not a single

01:38:11.520 living human being yeah a few people who had died since yes mentioned it right once but once but then

01:38:18.100 they died shortly after yes and i was it the reason i don't know i don't know i don't want to blame it

01:38:23.380 i don't want to you know i don't have scientific information necessarily to back that up but i'm gonna

01:38:27.600 say yes but it's possible but it's possible so we go back and forth an endless

01:38:33.180 negotiation goes on and we eventually come to the point where we're going to bet on on the opening

01:38:38.940 weekend of avatar this is like four months ago and so we go to the opening weekend of of top gun

01:38:48.000 maverick and i say there's no way it outdoes that i think it was 126 million was the number for for uh

01:38:54.380 for top gun maverick however it's a weird weekend because it was a memorial day weekend so a lot of

01:38:59.680 people who might normally gone on the weekend go on monday they don't jam it all into the weekend

01:39:03.740 like normal so we have a little bit of a negotiation we come up with a number 134.45 million

01:39:09.020 134.45 million all right i am supremely confident of this bet at this moment this is the most this is

01:39:18.740 the best investment i've ever made in my life now as uh and as i will say maybe the effects of a couple

01:39:26.940 of uh of beers fade away i start to realize the person i've made this bet with is a former movie

01:39:33.020 executive oh boy now oh no you lost this is somebody who knows approximately 100 times the amount

01:39:41.460 that i do about this industry and how it works he's thought this out and he has uh

01:39:48.920 really put more intellectual power into this along with much more institutional knowledge and

01:39:56.900 very soon after this i start to realize i'm in real trouble in this bet because they are going to put

01:40:03.080 150 million dollars into advertising this movie before it even comes out not to mention they

01:40:09.800 re-released the original avatar in theaters leading up to it to build up they had a plan to make

01:40:14.880 some money off of this movie anyway the initial weekend uh projections come out this is on like

01:40:21.280 wednesday of the release of the movie 175 million dollars now again our number is over or under

01:40:28.460 134.45 million okay well now i'm well hold on all right the first day comes out yeah first day

01:40:36.340 comes out and it is uh they say actually now we now see it in a range between 150 and 175 million

01:40:44.000 i see that the next night comes out they say we now think it's going to be toward the bottom of the

01:40:49.740 range of 150 to 175 million saturday night's results come out sunday morning this is the day we the day

01:40:57.620 before we're going to find out the final result they say new estimate for avatar 2 134 million

01:41:03.160 right now all of a sudden we're back in the game 134.45 the estimate is 134 million now my friend

01:41:13.080 so my friend is for the first time a little panicked but still i think he thinks they're

01:41:18.400 going to get across the finish line the global numbers come out early and they exceed expectations

01:41:23.600 for the last day but was it a global bet but it was not only domestic okay so the the the on uh you

01:41:30.540 would have been killed oh yeah on the global take on the global take i but i knew i knew that i wasn't

01:41:34.800 going to make that bet i mean they make amusement parks for this crap in other parts of the world

01:41:38.760 even while they make it here too but that's the other so anyway 134 million the uh the next day

01:41:45.240 comes out my friend actually emails the lead entertainment reporter from a major newspaper to get the number

01:41:53.860 early just so we can find out who won this bet the the the number comes out 134.100226 million it's

01:42:04.160 great we won the bet by three hundred and fifty uh three hundred and thirty thousand dollars that's

01:42:11.220 amazing again a projection made after several beers four months ago and we won and i will tell you

01:42:18.620 getting that venmo was the greatest i bet the greatest feeling of all time just to rub it in

01:42:25.000 his face i love it till the end of time no right to win that bet but we did oh it's awesome so

01:42:30.660 something good came out of avatar 2 i know you thought it was impossible but something good came out of it

01:42:36.520 but i mean it really is amazing that there's no cultural impact it is again i think it extends to

01:42:44.220 this one it's going to make another billion dollars here in the united states and still i i have not

01:42:49.780 heard anyone talking about it i haven't either you know one no one is like oh this is me the reviews

01:42:54.240 which were generally speaking numbers wise positive still basically are saying the same thing from the

01:43:02.400 first one which was the technology is amazing the scenery is really cool yeah but not much of a story

01:43:08.820 not much there as far as dialogue nothing really memorable just like hey what a clear picture

01:43:15.420 mm-hmm right okay it's in hd yeah oh wow you don't know how many pixels i saw up there there's lots of

01:43:24.500 pixels there was over two trillion colors right involved in the making of that stuff like that yeah

01:43:30.860 it's like well i so how many do we need i need i need eight give me give me the primaries plus a

01:43:37.480 couple that's all i need uh all right triple eight seven two seven beck uh let's go to michael

01:43:44.460 in utah hey michael you're on the glenbeck program with patents too hey how's it going good program

01:43:50.700 since i was eight years old 24 now and for the past 16 years i've had no idea what this program's been

01:43:56.240 about let me tell you something avatar too i think i know why you guys don't quite get it because it's not

01:44:03.680 a franchise meant for the older generation it's meant also the younger generation so what you got

01:44:10.420 here is a cool looking movie with a storyline that is just there because i know a lot of younger guys

01:44:18.840 are really just there for the effects right that's totally what it is it's what the older people are

01:44:24.660 therefore too by the way and it's you know it's an incoherent storyline which fits great with

01:44:29.300 millennials exactly and it's got that 1980s sort of like hippie environmental message too yeah in this

01:44:36.320 one they hunt whales and you don't want to hunt the whales you know what i'm saying there you go

01:44:40.640 thanks michael i guess that's where you go i guess so that's where we had to end up it's amazing

01:44:46.400 though that that is i think generally true but it's like i guess it is targeted towards younger

01:44:51.920 people because what adults would want to consume this drivel but like i don't know toy story was

01:44:57.340 also aimed at kids and that has a lot of moments uh that are very iconic right monsters inc was aimed

01:45:04.340 at kids all the all those cartoons are aimed at kids and man it seems like adults can remember them

01:45:12.060 but yeah it is somewhat unique they're so vapid these movies it's just there's nothing to hang on to

01:45:20.580 and it's not just us i i looked this up after i think we talked about it before the break and uh

01:45:28.040 so i i googled avatar and there's a lot of people who feel like that yeah there's just no cultural

01:45:34.980 impact to it that it's just i don't know it's cotton candy it's in your mouth one for one second and

01:45:41.920 then it's melted away and it's gone and you don't even remember it bizarre 888-727-BECK

01:45:48.500 stay informed sign up for the free newsletter today at glennbeck.com

01:45:54.220 yeah man 888-727-BECK it's pat and stew for glenn on the glennbeck program we're just

01:46:13.940 talking about streaming obsessions or any shows that we're watching right now that you've been

01:46:19.180 there's not really there's not really one right now that uh that i just must see every day yeah and

01:46:25.880 or two or three or four episodes or 12 episodes a day but in the past i remember people talking about

01:46:33.440 lost year after year after year before i finally broke down and watched that

01:46:39.220 and was obsessed with it then for years i heard stew babbling about suits

01:46:45.900 year after year after i finally broke down and watched it it just became obsessed with it that's

01:46:52.740 so funny now i people say that a lot about suits they didn't necessarily or it was about laws they

01:46:57.780 didn't say it a lot about suits but it is it's a great series yeah i didn't watch it initially

01:47:02.520 because it was on usa and i was like i can't watch a show on usa i just feel like it wasn't gonna be

01:47:07.760 good right it was really good i loved it and it's honestly part of the reason why i can't get on

01:47:12.720 board with all the megan markle bashing me neither because she was on suits that's how i suits she was

01:47:18.760 so great in suits and i and i liked her then and so i'm just giving her a pass for all whatever

01:47:23.100 she's doing now i don't know me too she may have run over a bunch of school children last week

01:47:27.460 she was on suits she was really good in suits so it's funny everyone seems to hate her now

01:47:33.240 maybe with really good reason i just i just because i knew her from that i i can't feel the

01:47:39.200 passion i don't know if it's with good reason or not because i don't follow the royals yeah i don't

01:47:43.500 care followed suits but i don't follow the royals i had the same thing with breaking bad where

01:47:49.900 everyone said oh this is amazing you have to watch it you love it it's incredible and then i

01:47:54.380 eventually broke down and watched it and absolutely loved it and this has happened to me

01:47:58.260 now several times and i don't have time for more i don't have time for more shows yeah i can't well

01:48:03.480 i can't get into anything else and and i will say i now will not even start a show unless it's five

01:48:12.400 seasons in if they can't get to five seasons i don't want to get in the middle of something and

01:48:18.580 then two seasons in they're like oh by the way no one was watching this even though you like it

01:48:23.680 no one it sucks for everybody else and so it's canceled hate that it screws you over because

01:48:29.140 you commit all of these resources to watching and then you get the rug pulled out from under you i

01:48:34.500 will if it's not five seasons i won't even start it now that's a new policy a good policy i think it

01:48:39.640 is i think it's pretty solid but i always means i always miss the new shows it's got to run like

01:48:44.900 everyone's on me for yellowstone right now you got to watch yellowstone it's incredible you got to

01:48:48.720 have you watched 1883 yet have you watched 1219 yet have you watched the year six yet it's

01:48:53.960 incredible the year six is the best six is so good it's so good so but i can't i don't know how long

01:48:59.040 is yellowstone been going on if it hasn't in five seasons i can't start it it's i think it's in its

01:49:03.860 fifth season it's fifth season yeah i think so so i guess this year i can start to consider

01:49:07.920 watching yellowstone glenn loves it you love it too right i mean everyone seems to love it i mean

01:49:13.680 there's there there's i think there's only one season each so far of 1883 because you know what

01:49:21.300 how long can you carry out one year because i think the next season would have to be 1884

01:49:25.640 you would think so yeah yes that way uh and then 1923 i don't know how long that's gonna last

01:49:32.600 that's another one is it really 19 there's 1883 1923 and yellowstone which is right set in the

01:49:37.540 current day yes because i have a yellowstone's current the other two are from the years that

01:49:42.140 of the same name i do have another long-standing rule which is i don't really like movies or tv

01:49:48.440 shows that take place before world war ii like that's my life yeah i knew that was a rule of

01:49:52.880 so again you take out all shows pre-world war ii and all shows less than five seasons then you start

01:49:59.320 to narrow this thing down a little bit quite a bit you know there's you don't have as many shows to

01:50:03.000 choose from see i couldn't watch 1883 or 1923 uh but i could watch yellowstone i suppose all right

01:50:08.540 well you can't watch it well you can watch it and listen to uh 2023 uh at least on this program
