The Glenn Beck Program - The Most Joe Biden Thing We've Ever Heard

00:00:00.000 Today is going to be a very, very interesting program.

00:00:03.760 Lots of stuff going on in the news, and we'll get to it here in a moment.

00:00:07.220 Our own Glenn Beck, as you may have heard last week,

00:00:10.040 has having all sorts of issues with his voice and is going to be out today.

00:00:13.940 Pat Gray is going to be joining me in a little while to do the show.

00:00:17.020 It's going to be a fun one.

00:00:18.040 A home, of course, is where you live, but a lot more than that.

00:00:20.540 It's an investment tool as well, and that's why when you are looking to think about,

00:00:26.160 I mean, I was talking to a family this weekend, listed their house this past week.

00:00:31.620 They had 15 showings in the first day, and they've already had two offers

00:00:38.020 by like 10% or 15% over their asking price.

00:00:42.420 This is just a crazy, crazy market.

00:00:45.240 But if you're looking to, I don't know, maybe it's refinance.

00:00:48.280 Maybe you're just looking at the situation where your home value has gone up so much,

00:00:52.580 you have a lot more equity, you want to refinance that

00:00:54.680 and lock down these lower rates while they still exist.

00:00:57.600 You want to try American Financing.

00:00:59.500 I've worked with American Financing myself.

00:01:01.520 I know Sarah has as well.

00:01:02.780 Glenn has as well many times.

00:01:04.420 It's the place to go when you want to make sure you can refinance your home.

00:01:07.980 Check out your mortgage.

00:01:08.700 Do a free mortgage review with them right now.

00:01:10.180 You can call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

00:01:15.240 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:24.680 We've got no room to compromise.

00:01:46.460 We've got to stand together if the chorus of lies.

00:01:52.460 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:02:00.020 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.

00:02:06.440 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:11.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:16.280 Stand up!

00:02:18.920 Well, it's Stu and Pat in for Glenn Beck today as he is having issues with his voice.

00:02:24.100 I assume it was some sort of bender with Hunter Biden.

00:02:26.600 We're going to find out about that probably later in the week.

00:02:28.360 But for now, he's not in today.

00:02:29.800 We're going to be talking about everything that's going on anyway,

00:02:32.840 because we don't need Glenn to do that.

00:02:35.180 Glenn can bring his amazing perspective later in the week.

00:02:37.840 But today, we're going to go into all of the craziness going on,

00:02:41.580 particularly in the media today.

00:02:43.560 The way they're dealing with the CNN failure and the Washington Post failure from this week is incredible.

00:02:50.340 We'll get into that in 60 seconds.

00:02:58.000 You know, we've talked about MyPillow for a while.

00:03:00.720 Glenn, you know, people ask him about this all the time,

00:03:02.580 because, you know, he's had Mike Lindell on the show many times.

00:03:06.180 Do you really like MyPillow, or do you just like Mike Lindell?

00:03:09.800 Well, he likes MyPillow.

00:03:11.480 How does Glenn sleep at night?

00:03:13.560 Well, you know, people have asked him that in a lot of derogatory ways over the years.

00:03:18.820 Glenn, how do you sleep at night?

00:03:20.640 Well, it's MyPillow.

00:03:21.760 He uses MyPillow.

00:03:23.080 And the Giza Dream Sheets that they have, he loves it.

00:03:26.460 They're comfy, cool, and they're great.

00:03:28.500 I have the MyPillow sheets as well, and they're just fantastic sheets.

00:03:31.280 And they're nowhere near the cost of other people trying to compete with them.

00:03:37.480 If you're a sheet snob, you need MyPillow.

00:03:40.520 And for the moment, the Giza Dream Sheets are 60% off,

00:04:08.360 So can we take a moment and talk about the last couple of years when it comes to CNN?

00:04:16.520 What an utter series of catastrophes we have seen from this network.

00:04:24.900 That used to be, you know, the name in news.

00:04:27.400 This is CNN.

00:04:29.380 James Earl Jones even said it.

00:04:32.260 He told us it was CNN.

00:04:33.960 And when James Earl Jones says something,

00:04:37.100 he's either strangling you telepathically,

00:04:40.340 or he's telling you something important.

00:04:42.220 And for a long time, CNN was this network.

00:04:44.780 It would be a network that would honestly be a welcome addition to the media landscape right now,

00:04:53.760 if it existed in the form that it's supposed to.

00:04:56.440 And think about this.

00:04:57.680 We have a lot of great opinion out there.

00:04:59.740 If you're a subscriber to Blaze TV,

00:05:01.780 I think you'll see perspectives from all across the right,

00:05:04.740 and it's a great way to get your perspective every single day.

00:05:08.920 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:05:10.340 Promo code is Glenn if you'd like to join up and save a little cash.

00:05:14.380 And we do that pretty well, I think, here.

00:05:16.340 There's a lot of other services on the right that do that pretty well.

00:05:20.060 There's a lot of services on the left that give you left-wing opinion as well.

00:05:23.620 And that's easy to find.

00:05:25.220 There are not a ton of places anymore that even attempt to do

00:05:29.280 just down-the-middle journalism, right?

00:05:32.040 Something where they're just giving you the facts with no opinion whatsoever.

00:05:37.280 I'm in this business.

00:05:38.340 I've been in this business for a long time now.

00:05:40.420 There is real utility in opinion.

00:05:45.780 That's something that we need.

00:05:47.660 It can't just be boring news that nobody wants to watch.

00:05:52.400 I understand that people want passion.

00:05:54.180 They want to hear some actual perspective,

00:05:57.060 something that means something about the news of the day.

00:05:59.480 What does it mean in the end?

00:06:00.780 I mean, you know, you can hear the facts all you want.

00:06:02.760 But there is a need for someone who's actually doing reporting.

00:06:08.080 Someone who is sending reporters into the middle of Ukraine, for example.

00:06:12.740 I mean, we're in the middle of a war.

00:06:15.700 We aren't.

00:06:16.740 Although we seem to be trying to get ourselves into it.

00:06:19.300 But in theory, we're not in the middle of a war.

00:06:21.520 But there's a big war going on between Russia and Ukraine.

00:06:23.780 And it's difficult to know what the hell is going on on a day-to-day basis.

00:06:28.780 What does this mean?

00:06:30.480 Who's advancing where?

00:06:32.340 We're looking at, you look at one map of where the Russians are and another map of Ukraine looks like they're winning and pushing back.

00:06:39.880 Another map looks like Russia's just rolling over them.

00:06:42.040 It's almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is propaganda.

00:06:46.100 It's wartime.

00:06:46.860 These things happen.

00:06:48.220 People tell the truth.

00:06:49.440 They exaggerate the truth.

00:06:51.620 They do all sorts of things with the truth.

00:06:53.100 Many times they don't stick to it, though.

00:06:55.060 So it would be nice to have an organization like CNN with a lot of resources that could take some time and tell us what's actually going on.

00:07:05.620 And then places like The Blaze and places like, I don't know, The Huffington Post can look at that information and see it through their lens and give you an idea of their perspective.

00:07:16.880 And then you can judge for yourself.

00:07:18.160 That's how this is supposed to work.

00:07:20.620 Well, CNN abandoned this a while ago.

00:07:23.260 They've always been, to be clear, always have been a left-wing, a left-leaning network.

00:07:31.940 A lot of times, though, they were a left-leaning network that attempted to do news.

00:07:37.000 It was news that was left-wing all that often.

00:07:39.920 As we do this show on the premier radio networks, I remember Rush Limbaugh a zillion years ago talking about the Clinton News Network.

00:07:47.520 I mean, this was not a completely balanced source at any moment in its history.

00:07:53.520 It always had a leftward lean.

00:07:55.600 But particularly with the rise of Donald Trump, this organization turned off any efforts to be fair.

00:08:09.080 They were broken.

00:08:10.720 I mean, look, Donald Trump broke a lot of people.

00:08:13.720 And they decided, for whatever reason, that this was too important.

00:08:18.040 They just couldn't maintain the appearance of attempting to be journalists anymore.

00:08:25.980 And this doesn't go for every single person at CNN.

00:08:28.200 There are some exceptions to this.

00:08:29.340 But generally speaking, as a network, especially with the arrival of Zucker,

00:08:34.320 they decided to go down this road where they would become to the left of the Huffington Post.

00:08:41.140 No matter what occurred, they would come up with somebody who would present it as a racist, homophobic, transphobic, phobic, phobic thing that the right had done somehow.

00:08:53.260 No matter what the story was, it would turn back to that.

00:08:56.160 And look, you know, MSNBC was already doing that.

00:08:59.500 There was no room for another network to attempt to do the same thing.

00:09:05.080 And yet they decided this was just too important.

00:09:07.720 They had to do it.

00:09:08.520 And when Donald Trump won in 2016, they doubled down on it.

00:09:13.720 They decided this was the most important thing that anything had ever occurred.

00:09:18.140 And they decided to double down on just non-thinking critiques of Donald Trump.

00:09:25.280 You can't, there was never any, didn't seem to ever be any information on it.

00:09:30.760 And like, look, you can be critical of Donald Trump.

00:09:33.200 I don't think anybody in this audience wants to hear somebody coming out and blathering and being a constant cheerleader for any politician.

00:09:40.260 Nobody wants that.

00:09:42.020 You can be critical.

00:09:43.460 You can even be left-wing critical of Donald Trump.

00:09:45.720 That doesn't mean you have to make things up.

00:09:48.400 Doesn't mean you have to create entire arcs of scandal to try to take him out because you don't like him.

00:09:54.480 Just be honest if he's doing a poor job.

00:09:58.760 If you're honest about it, the American people will recognize that.

00:10:02.300 They're certainly doing this right now with Joe Biden.

00:10:07.600 CNN and many other news organizations have done nothing but present the best possible view of everything Joe Biden has done

00:10:15.220 since the moment he became president of the United States and he's still at 36 and 33 and 37 percent approval rating.

00:10:24.080 The guy can't even crack 40.

00:10:27.640 And that's with the entire media behind him.

00:10:32.340 Imagine if he didn't have that.

00:10:35.740 So CNN goes down this road.

00:10:37.780 They started off with the Donald Trump era.

00:10:39.780 And even as an outsider, you'd have to recognize there were some high points here.

00:10:46.540 The high points certainly were not related to journalism in any way.

00:10:51.120 The high points were related to their ratings, which went up a lot.

00:10:55.380 And I can give you some analysis from the utmost expert on this topic, Donald Trump, that Donald Trump brings ratings.

00:11:04.880 He's aware of it.

00:11:05.860 Everybody's aware of it.

00:11:06.820 So Donald Trump is the singular focus of CNN for four years.

00:11:14.640 They talk about him all the time.

00:11:18.020 And they become completely obsessed to the point where a restraining order was probably necessary.

00:11:27.440 Every single topic would be spun to be related to Donald Trump in some way.

00:11:32.860 This was the only thing they were allowed to talk about for four consecutive years.

00:11:40.660 So Donald Trump, after 2020, Joe Biden comes in.

00:11:45.660 He's the president of the United States.

00:11:47.980 And one thing that I don't think they thought out all that well was if you can get Donald Trump out of the presidency and somebody else is president, then what do you do with your network?

00:11:59.220 Because they had gone through a complete revamp of not only just be I mean, we know, again, they were left wing, but to take it to this degree and then remove all ties to the vision of what they were supposed to be as a network.

00:12:19.360 CNN no longer was even early in the Trump days.

00:12:23.420 They would say, oh, we're the Apple.

00:12:24.860 This is an Apple.

00:12:26.300 Remember these remember these commercials?

00:12:27.640 This is an Apple.

00:12:28.860 And we're going to call it an Apple because we're brave.

00:12:31.580 Other people are going to say it's a pear or a fruit, you know, a fruit salad or a watermelon.

00:12:37.260 But we are CNN and we will tell you that that is an Apple because we are truth.

00:12:47.280 We tell you what truth is.

00:12:49.220 When you want truth, you come to us.

00:12:51.200 And if we don't say it's true, it's not.

00:12:54.260 That was the approach they went to initially.

00:12:57.640 Over time, it became clearer and clearer to even its own viewers that this was not the case.

00:13:02.180 So they just turned into a left wing opinion network.

00:13:04.960 Now, look, you can make money in left wing opinion.

00:13:07.260 People do it all the time.

00:13:08.200 You can usually raise a lot of money doing it, too.

00:13:10.700 There are reasons to do it.

00:13:12.540 The path, if you choose the path of conservatism, you're not doing it because it's easy.

00:13:19.380 It's a lot easier to go out there and take the left wing view.

00:13:24.460 Everyone praises you.

00:13:25.540 Everyone cheers you on.

00:13:26.600 Everyone throws money at you.

00:13:28.840 It's just the way it is.

00:13:31.680 It's just the way it is.

00:13:33.200 So it's easy to go that way.

00:13:35.600 And so they did.

00:13:36.900 And it worked for a few years.

00:13:38.420 The ratings were pretty good, especially for CNN.

00:13:42.460 But then Biden came in and everything has collapsed.

00:13:46.920 It has absolutely disintegrated over the past year, which is really incredible.

00:13:51.980 They had pretty good ratings for them, at least back in the day under Donald when Donald Trump was president.

00:13:59.680 And now those have gone away completely.

00:14:01.500 They dropped something like 80 percent of their audience.

00:14:04.480 Then you had the Cuomo scandals.

00:14:07.940 Then you had the Cuomo scandals, where we have now evidence that not only was the coverage of Andrew Cuomo through COVID really, really terrible.

00:14:20.860 We now have evidence that the guy who heads up CNN was counseling Andrew Cuomo on how to respond to Donald Trump in press conferences.

00:14:37.420 We know that the first words you heard from Andrew Cuomo about his pending and building scandals when it came to his Me Too accusations against him.

00:14:51.340 The first words in his defense were written by an anchor of CNN, Chris Cuomo, who wrote basically an email outline of the speech that Andrew Cuomo wound up giving.

00:15:01.720 Then CNN was forced to cover a speech written by its own anchor, was forced to cover press conferences based on guidance from CNN employees, the guy running it, and the woman he was having an affair with, who was a former Cuomo aide.

00:15:25.140 We all know Andrew Cuomo steps down.

00:15:28.260 Eventually, so does Chris.

00:15:29.840 Now Chris Cuomo is suing CNN.

00:15:32.760 That whole thing has collapsed.

00:15:36.200 And then you have CNN Plus.

00:15:41.760 And look, if you know anything about the last 20 minutes or so, you might sense the slightest bit of dislike from me towards CNN.

00:15:53.660 I know I don't love the network.

00:15:55.720 I'd love to see them.

00:15:57.120 I'd honestly love to see them be successful if they were doing their jobs.

00:16:01.900 But when they don't do their jobs, I don't wish success on them at all.

00:16:06.540 But even with that, it is hard to classify CNN Plus as anything other than the greatest media catastrophe that we have ever seen.

00:16:15.980 You want to compare it to something else, give me the comparison.

00:16:21.820 I don't know what it would be.

00:16:23.180 Quibi, which if you don't know what Quibi is, a lot of people didn't.

00:16:27.440 And that was part of the problem.

00:16:28.760 That was part of the issue.

00:16:30.300 People didn't know what it was.

00:16:31.800 But let's try to find something.

00:16:35.220 Quibi, I guess, is maybe the closest recent example of a media failure like that.

00:16:39.020 I will take a moment and try to find something that can compare.

00:16:43.980 But I don't know what it is.

00:16:45.640 Maybe the greatest media catastrophe in the history of television and broadcast and journalism.

00:16:53.000 I don't know that anyone has ever seen anything like what we have witnessed with CNN Plus.

00:16:59.620 And in addition to that, CNN over the past year or so.

00:17:02.720 For, say, two years, it has been an incredible fall from relative grace.

00:17:10.100 Again, their high points weren't exactly high points.

00:17:12.400 But still, the fall from grace is spectacular.

00:17:15.600 We'll have more than that in about 60 seconds.

00:17:19.740 So what do the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela all have in common?

00:17:24.780 Well, all of them ended up looking like our country is about to look if we don't turn things around.

00:17:28.860 They all look like CNN Plus is basically what they had in common.

00:17:33.600 Inflation is running rampant in the United States right now.

00:17:35.840 But those of us who look at history, and we talk about this often, I have a $1 trillion bill from Zimbabwe.

00:17:43.400 It's one of my prized possessions.

00:17:45.260 I am, technically, a trillionaire.

00:17:49.860 We all like to be a trillionaire, but you don't want to be a trillionaire like that.

00:17:53.840 If you want to be informed about inflation, if you want to understand why you don't want a $100 trillion bill of your own, you need to get informed.

00:18:01.840 I have kids 9 and 10 years old.

00:18:04.220 These kids beg me to read to them the Tuttle Twins books.

00:18:08.300 And it's so important to get kids started early.

00:18:10.820 We have spent so much time on the conservative side talking about universities.

00:18:14.640 It's too late at that point.

00:18:16.480 It's too late at the point of universities.

00:18:20.260 You need to talk to kids earlier about the foundations of what is important, not only of the country's foundations, but capitalism and even monetary policy.

00:18:30.360 Glenn has talked a lot about the book that's the Jekyll Island book, The Monster of Jekyll Island.

00:18:36.880 Is it The Monster of Jekyll Island?

00:18:37.980 I can never remember the name of it.

00:18:39.200 But it's a great, great book.

00:18:41.600 The Creature.

00:18:42.180 That's The Creature of Jekyll Island.

00:18:44.020 Talking about the Fed and what a disaster the Fed is, all the Tuttle Twin books are fantastic.

00:18:50.880 And I have two kids right in the middle of this age group, and they love them.

00:18:53.660 I can tell you from personal experience.

00:19:10.160 So Quibi is an app, or was an app.

00:19:27.620 And it was launched with, I think, $1.7 billion worth of money.

00:19:32.540 And the idea here was people go to YouTube all the time, and they want to watch short videos.

00:19:37.660 They're watching 5-minute and 10-minute videos.

00:19:39.300 What if, instead of the crap that's on YouTube sometimes, like, you know, Stu Does America, which is available Monday through Friday.

00:19:46.840 I mean, you got that going on there.

00:19:48.040 You want to avoid that, obviously.

00:19:50.380 And, you know, we'll go to real talent in Hollywood and come up with real shows that are designed to be 10 minutes long.

00:19:57.380 They're designed to be viewed on your phone.

00:20:00.480 We can do all sorts of things.

00:20:01.660 Like, you know how you have your phone and you're watching it?

00:20:03.900 What is it?

00:20:05.960 Landscape?

00:20:06.540 I can't remember which one is which.

00:20:07.520 When you're watching it landscape and you have your phone and then it's portrait, you know, you turn your phone back and forth and then the shows get really small and you can't see them.

00:20:14.580 Quibi said, well, what if we customize the shows for that process?

00:20:18.460 We know people are watching them on their phone.

00:20:20.920 So you turn the phone the long way and it will zoom in to the best possible view you can see of the show.

00:20:26.220 In fact, they even had situations where you could see two different things of the same show.

00:20:30.580 You'd see two different views.

00:20:32.420 They'd actually customize camera shots for the long way and the wide way of your phone.

00:20:37.440 Portrait and landscape, as it were.

00:20:39.960 So, kind of an interesting idea.

00:20:42.280 Then they said, hey, you know, when people are watching YouTube, they're watching it like when they're in the line at the grocery store.

00:20:48.220 They're getting groceries.

00:20:48.900 They're watching a few minutes of shows as they're going through the process of getting food in their house.

00:20:57.120 And that's a good idea.

00:20:58.320 We'll give them shorter shows.

00:20:59.460 No one's going to watch a half an hour show like Netflix has.

00:21:01.900 Let's give them a shorter show.

00:21:03.480 Okay, you can kind of understand it.

00:21:05.280 They spend all this money, tons of money into marketing.

00:21:07.940 They get their last 700, I think it's $750 million of funding on March 10th, 2020.

00:21:14.040 And guess what people aren't doing anymore?

00:21:19.920 People are no longer in the lines at the stores watching shows because they're all terrified they're going to die like a week later.

00:21:26.860 And that wasn't the only problem with Quibi as a service, but it was a pretty big one.

00:21:32.540 They were designed for this idea that people were out all the time and they were watching shows while they were out and then no one was out for a year.

00:21:40.200 So a real problem, the launch was poor, people didn't sign up, it went away really quickly.

00:21:51.080 It's known as one of the biggest catastrophes in the history of media.

00:21:56.780 It lasted seven times as long as CNN Plus.

00:22:00.780 Seven times as long.

00:22:03.400 And they actually had at least a few good shows on Quibi.

00:22:07.440 That is not the case for CNN Plus.

00:22:10.920 They spent $300 million and didn't last a month.

00:22:18.120 That is incredible.

00:22:20.420 If you designed a failure, you could not approach the levels of what CNN Plus has accomplished here.

00:22:28.260 New Coke lasted for, I think it was a couple of months at least, with Coke off the market.

00:22:35.380 It lasted 17 years as a product, New Coke.

00:22:38.300 But New Coke with Coke Classic off the market still was a few months.

00:22:43.600 CNN Plus has to be one of the biggest consumer failures in the history of consumers.

00:22:53.400 Stu and Pat in for Glenn.

00:22:55.500 Back in a second.

00:22:56.800 The Glenn Back Program.

00:23:12.600 Nobody knows when food shortages are going to hit, although the president did just say they're coming, so it's kind of an indication.

00:23:18.500 You need to invest in long-term emergency food storage while you still can.

00:23:23.780 If you're not prepared when the grocery stores run out of food, well, what happens?

00:23:27.380 You're out.

00:23:28.460 You're up a creek.

00:23:29.780 Let's put it that way.

00:23:30.840 You need to be honest.

00:23:31.800 You need to be honest with yourself whether you're prepared or not.

00:24:29.100 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn Beck.

00:24:30.960 He will be back at some point.

00:24:32.320 He's having some issues with his voice.

00:24:35.740 Everybody's sick around Texas right now.

00:24:37.420 The allergies are absolutely ridiculous right now, which, of course, people love sneezing.

00:24:42.140 It's a new thing in our society.

00:24:44.100 Sneezing was never a welcome activity from others.

00:24:48.740 It's especially welcome now, though.

00:24:50.580 People hate it.

00:24:51.080 People look at you like you've just killed everyone around you when you sneeze now.

00:24:55.780 It's so true.

00:24:56.540 Did you just murder me?

00:24:58.700 Right.

00:24:59.320 Yeah.

00:24:59.660 Coughing, sneezing, everything like that is just, you know.

00:25:03.100 Kind of frowned upon.

00:25:04.020 Kind of frowned upon.

00:25:04.900 Pat Gray joins us.

00:25:05.940 Pat Gray Unleashed is finishing up the brand new Pat Gray Unleashed Overtime.

00:25:10.160 Available if you're a subscriber at blazetv.com slash Glenn every single day after the show.

00:25:14.840 So make sure to check that out as well.

00:25:16.780 Pat, I've been talking about the absolute and utter catastrophe that is CNN+.

00:25:22.940 I think, and we were trying to come up with a comparison, what is the greatest consumer

00:25:30.540 catastrophe of all time?

00:25:33.300 You know, media catastrophe.

00:25:34.780 Quibi was an example we talked about.

00:25:36.980 But that lasted seven times as long as CNN+.

00:25:39.500 Yeah.

00:25:40.320 Many months.

00:25:41.180 And actually had some good shows.

00:25:42.460 There were some good shows.

00:25:43.360 Like, the Reno 911 reboot they did on that was really funny.

00:25:47.280 I gotta say, it was actually really good.

00:25:48.920 They had some good shows on Quibi.

00:25:49.920 It just was way too much money on a project that didn't make much sense when everyone

00:25:54.040 was locked down to their homes.

00:25:55.460 Yeah.

00:25:55.580 You know, you couldn't watch.

00:25:56.660 When Quibi launched, you were not able to watch it on television.

00:26:00.340 It was so specific for people who were out and about at the grocery store, you know,

00:26:04.820 watching their phones.

00:26:05.720 Did they fix that during the run?

00:26:07.000 They eventually did try to do it.

00:26:08.740 Okay.

00:26:08.980 But, you know, after it was already a failure.

00:26:10.740 So did you have Quibi?

00:26:11.700 I did actually subscribe to Quibi.

00:26:13.140 You did have it.

00:26:13.160 Sounds like you had it.

00:26:13.880 Yeah, it was good.

00:26:14.420 And you did.

00:26:15.100 I mean, well, it wasn't good.

00:26:16.580 But there were a couple of shows that were good and a couple of funny shows, a couple

00:26:20.440 of good ideas.

00:26:21.420 It would have been an interesting thing to see played out to the end, to see what they

00:26:25.640 could have done with it.

00:26:26.520 Yeah.

00:26:27.040 But, you know, but again, there's that.

00:26:29.900 There's pets.com back in 2000.

00:26:32.340 That was a spectacular failure.

00:26:34.400 But that lasted, I think it was 262 days.

00:26:37.880 Much longer.

00:26:38.600 Much longer than CNN Plus.

00:26:42.560 And I can't.

00:26:44.020 We talked about New Coke.

00:26:45.480 Oh, New Coke.

00:26:45.900 But again, New Coke lasted 17 years.

00:26:47.600 New Coke was kind of a success in comparison.

00:26:49.460 Oh, totally a success in comparison.

00:26:51.580 I mean, really, the only thing that they, the only mistake they made with New Coke was

00:26:54.840 taking Coke Classic, which was actually just Coke back then, but taking Coke Classic off

00:26:59.860 the market.

00:27:00.340 And people got annoyed that they took away the thing they liked.

00:27:02.720 People didn't get annoyed.

00:27:03.860 For example, Diet Coke was out.

00:27:06.520 And it has been out forever.

00:27:07.640 And they introduced Coke Zero.

00:27:08.860 People weren't like, damn you!

00:27:10.180 Why did you introduce the new option for me?

00:27:13.920 Like, people don't mind that.

00:27:15.300 Like, they just don't like you taking away the old thing.

00:27:17.520 Yeah.

00:27:17.820 It didn't make any sense to take it away.

00:27:19.480 This is...

00:27:19.860 Unless it was really a marketing ploy.

00:27:21.560 Right.

00:27:21.680 Which I kind of suspect all along that that's what it was.

00:27:24.960 There is that theory out there that this was actually an intentional thing.

00:27:26.840 Well, because it worked so well, I mean, the sales of Classic Coke actually increased

00:27:32.400 a lot when they brought it back.

00:27:34.520 So you think that might happen with CNN Plus?

00:27:36.280 Like, people would be like so upset CNN Plus went away that they might...

00:27:40.060 I'm not getting that vibe, really.

00:27:40.680 They might go back to regular CNN.

00:27:42.440 I'm not getting that vibe.

00:27:43.560 No.

00:27:43.780 I don't think so either.

00:27:44.980 So I'm fascinated by this.

00:27:46.220 Now, there is some new analysis about this that maybe you have not heard from Brian Stelter,

00:27:51.760 who works at CNN and was one of the centerpieces of CNN Plus.

00:27:56.640 Right.

00:27:57.180 Just to be clear, one of the centerpieces of CNN Plus was Brian Stelter.

00:28:01.920 Now, look, Brian, I don't think you're going to make him a centerpiece of a network.

00:28:06.620 No, because he sucks.

00:28:07.380 It's just not a thing you're going to do.

00:28:08.720 Because he's terrible.

00:28:09.220 Now, Chris Wallace was another person they brought over, which again...

00:28:12.160 Which I'm not very excited about that either.

00:28:14.080 No, I mean, Chris Wallace...

00:28:15.100 I didn't watch him at Fox.

00:28:16.160 No.

00:28:16.280 Why would I watch him at CNN Plus?

00:28:17.660 But like, the people at CNN probably did like Chris Wallace because he was the one guy

00:28:22.980 over at Fox in their perception who would occasionally say critical things about Republicans, right?

00:28:28.640 So maybe you could understand him being a part.

00:28:31.620 But again, as the centerpiece, and he was...

00:28:34.560 I mean, it seemed like their strategy with Chris Wallace was like,

00:28:37.080 let's have him interview William Shatner.

00:28:40.100 Like, all right.

00:28:41.080 Okay.

00:28:41.840 Yeah.

00:28:42.140 And didn't he make a statement kind of like, yeah, I don't want to do politics anymore.

00:28:45.620 Right.

00:28:45.980 Which is like...

00:28:46.760 Well, wait.

00:28:46.940 That's what you're known for.

00:28:49.040 So it was, again, a catastrophe from the start.

00:28:52.540 But Brian Stelter had some perspective on this.

00:28:56.060 And I hadn't really thought of it this way, I have to admit.

00:28:59.440 I mean, because I thought this is a complete failure.

00:29:02.100 And everything we know about it is a failure.

00:29:04.400 It's one of the greatest...

00:29:05.560 It's just a question.

00:29:06.180 Is it number one or number two on the list?

00:29:07.980 Are we forgetting something from like the 1700s or something that could compare to this?

00:29:12.840 I don't know what it could be.

00:29:13.940 But Brian Stelter wants you to make sure you're taking your time in how you think about CNN Plus and whether it was a positive or a negative.

00:29:22.500 Have you seen anything like this happen before in the media business?

00:29:27.900 No.

00:29:28.340 Well, I mean, no.

00:29:29.820 And first of all, I think I'm making history right now.

00:29:32.360 I've never been on a program talking about the demise of that program.

00:29:36.900 Well, we probably have more viewers now than ever before because there's so much curiosity.

00:29:43.180 And let me try out a theory on it.

00:29:46.920 Let me try out a theory on it, which is it's too early to know if this product or this service was a success or a failure.

00:29:54.360 You know, you got all the haters today saying this thing was a failure.

00:29:57.220 I don't know if you can even ever assess that because it just simply didn't have enough time because of the management change in direction.

00:30:03.720 And at the end of the day, if you buy something, if you buy a giant media company, you get to do whatever you want with it.

00:30:09.900 But it does mean there's a lot of suffering for employees and frankly, disappointment among subscribers as a result.

00:30:16.160 Just too early to tell.

00:30:17.400 That's all.

00:30:17.960 Who could know?

00:30:18.680 You can't know.

00:30:19.580 You know?

00:30:20.080 I don't know.

00:30:21.100 I mean, it lasted less than 30 days or about 30 days.

00:30:24.720 Who can know if that's a success or a failure?

00:30:27.060 Yeah.

00:30:27.240 And I said maybe unfairly that it didn't even last a month.

00:30:30.780 Technically, it did last one month and one day or will.

00:30:34.720 It's not even completely done yet.

00:30:36.140 They canceled it long before a month.

00:30:38.880 I mean, it wasn't even close to a month when they canceled it, but they're playing out the

00:30:42.680 string until I think April 30th.

00:30:44.860 So, I guess it technically lasted a month and a day.

00:30:49.640 But I don't know.

00:30:50.620 I feel like when your service has already, after three weeks, been disintegrated, it's possible

00:30:57.700 that is a failure.

00:30:59.040 You don't need more time to assess it.

00:31:01.560 Like, it's not in the year 2387, people are going to be looking back and be like, you

00:31:05.200 know, that's CNN Plus.

00:31:06.040 You got a second look at what happened there.

00:31:07.960 I think that was a success.

00:31:09.340 That was huge.

00:31:09.900 They had 10,000 people.

00:31:12.380 Watch it.

00:31:13.200 10,000.

00:31:14.460 And I will say this.

00:31:16.320 I don't believe that number.

00:31:18.020 I don't even, I don't believe 150,000 people subscribed to it.

00:31:22.220 I don't believe that for a second.

00:31:22.560 I don't believe they even had 150,000 total, let alone paid.

00:31:26.060 The Wall Street Journal has already come out and said they have insider information that

00:31:31.700 it was less than 100,000.

00:31:33.320 And I agree with that.

00:31:34.220 Oh, I believe that.

00:31:34.660 I believe it was less.

00:31:35.880 I believe.

00:31:36.680 I think it's less than 50,000.

00:31:38.500 Here's my theory.

00:31:40.060 They said 150,000 people subscribe to this thing.

00:31:43.140 I think it's closer to 150.

00:31:44.580 Like, I mean, 150,000, not 150,000, not 1,500, 150.

00:31:52.640 Now, it might be higher than that.

00:31:54.040 And they were all employees of CNN.

00:31:54.980 Right.

00:31:55.800 It was Brian Stelter and Chris Wallace and their families.

00:31:59.880 Yes.

00:32:00.240 I don't believe that number for a freaking second.

00:32:02.800 Now, that number would still be a catastrophe if you spent $300 million on the product and

00:32:07.000 had a billion dollars to spend over four years.

00:32:09.140 You'd still be disappointed in $150,000 or 150,000 subscribers.

00:32:13.220 But, like, I don't buy that for a second.

00:32:17.060 And 10,000 subscribers, or 10,000 people watching video, maybe over the course of an entire day.

00:32:23.180 Maybe.

00:32:24.000 Maybe.

00:32:24.220 And I think that's what they were talking about.

00:32:26.020 Wasn't it?

00:32:26.560 10,000 people a day streamed it, is what I read.

00:32:30.400 That's so bad.

00:32:31.420 That's bad.

00:32:33.340 Really bad.

00:32:34.120 Again, they don't have people watching their main product.

00:32:37.900 You know, if you have a main product with a massive amount of viewers and you want to

00:32:44.660 have, like, you know, Fox and Fox Nation, for example.

00:32:48.520 I don't know how well Fox Nation does, but it's been in business for multiple years.

00:32:52.740 I mean, we could say that.

00:32:53.700 But, you know, they have Fox News Channel, which is a big channel with lots of viewers

00:32:59.960 and they kind of have this big idea.

00:33:01.260 And then they advertise Fox Nation all the time.

00:33:03.180 And they say, hey, come listen to additional commentary from, you know, whatever, Tucker

00:33:06.220 Carlson or whoever.

00:33:07.660 And, you know, I'm sure if people...

00:33:09.100 And people do.

00:33:09.740 I'm sure they do at some level.

00:33:12.020 Mm-hmm.

00:33:13.060 Certainly much more than CNN Plus.

00:33:16.360 Yeah.

00:33:17.000 Oh, yeah.

00:33:17.560 And probably CNN regular.

00:33:20.700 And this thing has just...

00:33:23.560 Look, there are people, you know, look, there's people who do, you know, they are electricians

00:33:29.800 who work on the show and then people who run, I don't know, cameras on the show.

00:33:33.460 And, like, you know, there are people who are going to get hurt by this and it sucks for

00:33:36.660 them, you know.

00:33:37.200 I mean, they lured people out of really good jobs to come to CNN Plus with the promise

00:33:42.960 they were going to run this thing.

00:33:43.960 And that's completely irresponsible by the people who did it.

00:33:47.860 What do you do if you're Chris Wallace and you left a really good job to go over there

00:33:52.460 and be their featured person at CNN Plus and now it's gone?

00:33:56.380 Now, Wallace, they'll probably stick somewhere on CNN, right?

00:33:58.820 They will.

00:33:59.460 The rumor is they're going to put him at nine with Brian Williams.

00:34:04.600 I've heard that.

00:34:05.360 And that's kind of an amazing...

00:34:07.640 That is.

00:34:08.520 ...admission in some ways.

00:34:09.920 It is.

00:34:10.440 But...

00:34:11.000 But he can't do his own thing.

00:34:12.200 He's not even strong enough.

00:34:13.660 They don't even trust him to do a newscast for an hour on the primetime CNN, which has

00:34:20.660 85 viewers as opposed to 10.

00:34:23.120 Which is just...

00:34:23.800 It's an amazing thing.

00:34:25.220 But, I mean, okay, worst case for Chris Wallace, he probably goes and it's just like a contributor

00:34:29.580 and comments on the news of the day or whatever.

00:34:32.620 Yeah.

00:34:32.960 You know, a lot of these people left stable jobs.

00:34:36.480 And remember, CNN knew this merger was coming and they knew Discovery didn't want it.

00:34:43.160 Discovery was saying it publicly in the media that they didn't want this thing.

00:34:47.300 And they questioned whether it had utility.

00:34:49.420 It didn't.

00:34:50.660 And so these people, you know, should have probably seen that coming.

00:34:53.480 But if they didn't, they left good jobs to come over to this, you know, disastrous CNN Plus.

00:34:59.220 And they're going to be out on the street, which is a completely irresponsible thing for CNN to do.

00:35:05.260 Is it a disaster, though?

00:35:06.020 I think it's too soon to tell.

00:35:07.500 You think?

00:35:07.980 Yeah, I do.

00:35:08.560 I probably jumped the gun on that one.

00:35:10.480 I loved the Twitter responses to Brian Stelter over the weekend where they had a flaming Hindenburg and said,

00:35:19.420 it's really too soon to tell if dirigibles are a good form of transportation.

00:35:28.060 Should hydrogen be what makes it float?

00:35:31.140 Who knows?

00:35:32.080 Who knows?

00:35:33.140 Is it a little bit combustible?

00:35:34.880 Yes, but it's too soon to tell.

00:35:36.820 Really, whether it's too dangerous.

00:35:38.520 We don't know yet.

00:35:40.480 It's on the ground in flames.

00:35:43.220 It's already there.

00:35:45.960 Everybody aboard was killed.

00:35:47.760 Yeah.

00:35:48.320 I think it's safe to say.

00:35:49.800 I just feel like it's time to make the call.

00:35:55.760 I mean, we have a phrase, oh, the humanity already.

00:35:59.140 People know the phrase, and it's specifically around this.

00:36:02.340 I got to say, which one is worse, the Hindenburg or CNN Plus?

00:36:07.140 You have to say, the Hindenburg, I don't think that was its first flight.

00:36:10.980 I think it had a bunch of successful flights before that.

00:36:13.580 It did.

00:36:14.020 If I remember the history correctly.

00:36:16.060 Yeah.

00:36:16.340 I mean, it had a run.

00:36:17.320 There was plenty of hydrogen ships that got up there and were fine.

00:36:21.600 I mean, they adjusted the plan later.

00:36:23.920 And blimps, to this day, still exist.

00:36:26.400 Very true.

00:36:27.100 You know?

00:36:27.440 We see them over every football game in the NFL.

00:36:29.920 Yeah.

00:36:30.680 They switched the formula up a little bit.

00:36:35.300 But do you think CNN is going to switch up their formula when they learn that no one cares

00:36:39.100 about what they're doing?

00:36:39.840 No.

00:36:40.120 No.

00:36:40.760 They're going to continue to.

00:36:41.820 I don't know.

00:36:42.280 Maybe Discovery will.

00:36:43.100 Although it is rumored Discovery is done with Brian Stelter, at least.

00:36:47.360 And maybe the rest of the lineup, too.

00:36:50.180 The rumor is that the opinion people are going to go.

00:36:53.740 By the end of spring, they say, the opinion people are gone.

00:36:57.220 That would be really a welcome change.

00:36:58.720 Wouldn't it?

00:36:59.440 You know, look.

00:37:00.240 Oh, man.

00:37:00.920 It's just, it really would be.

00:37:02.720 I thought of this when the Ukraine-Russia thing broke out.

00:37:06.220 It would be really nice to have a network where we could go to trust some of the information.

00:37:10.780 Yeah.

00:37:11.060 You know?

00:37:11.340 I mean, look.

00:37:12.160 There are a lot of places I like and look and trust.

00:37:14.800 But, like, you know, we don't.

00:37:15.780 The Blaze doesn't have reporters on the ground in Ukraine.

00:37:18.500 Like, that's not the type of organization we are.

00:37:20.100 Or, you know, it would be nice if somebody, if there was someone out there who did that

00:37:24.600 and did it responsibly.

00:37:26.260 Yeah.

00:37:26.520 Maybe CNN can recapture that somehow or capture it for the first time.

00:37:30.800 Well, there was a time when they were that.

00:37:32.980 Yeah.

00:37:33.560 You know, in the 80s?

00:37:34.380 It was always left leaning.

00:37:35.100 Early 90s?

00:37:35.860 You know, they were always left leaning.

00:37:37.320 But, like, when the first Iraq war broke out, like,

00:37:40.920 They had pretty good coverage.

00:37:42.160 All you had to do was, everyone was watching CNN.

00:37:44.560 Yeah.

00:37:44.660 It was your only option.

00:37:46.100 Yeah.

00:37:46.280 People were glued to it.

00:37:49.120 Even though you knew, yeah, sometimes they would go,

00:37:52.200 they would take a left wing position on things.

00:37:54.140 And it was still mainstream media.

00:37:56.340 I mean, you still had that.

00:37:57.940 But at least.

00:37:58.500 But nothing like today.

00:37:59.320 Yeah.

00:37:59.420 At least you believed the video they were showing was real.

00:38:01.980 Yeah.

00:38:02.160 At this point, I don't even know if you could do that on CNN.

00:38:05.100 I'm going to say no.

00:38:05.940 Okay.

00:38:06.240 You can't do that.

00:38:07.320 Yeah.

00:38:07.680 But, again, it's too early to judge.

00:38:09.180 Too early.

00:38:09.900 Yeah, way too early.

00:38:10.440 That's the summary of this hour.

00:38:11.960 It's too early to judge.

00:38:13.060 CNN Plus could be successful.

00:38:14.540 So, it may, in time, be viewed as a massive success.

00:38:18.680 That's possible.

00:38:19.320 It's very, you know.

00:38:20.520 Very possible.

00:38:21.440 If 150 subscribers can be viewed as a success, what is that?

00:38:26.480 It's like $1,500 a month that they'd be making.

00:38:30.140 No, it was only five bucks a month.

00:38:31.100 Oh, it was only five.

00:38:31.640 Oh, that's right.

00:38:32.280 Yeah.

00:38:32.400 In fact, they cut it to three.

00:38:33.720 They cut it to three.

00:38:34.680 So, it was $4,500 a month.

00:38:39.380 Which is, you know, not bad.

00:38:40.660 Not bad.

00:38:41.140 Not bad.

00:38:41.800 I mean, you could pay, you could pay, you could get a one-bedroom in New York for that.

00:38:46.640 You know?

00:38:47.600 It's so great.

00:38:48.700 A lot of revenue.

00:38:49.640 All right.

00:38:50.100 More coming up.

00:38:52.860 So, you know, it's pretty expensive to get your car repaired today, especially if it's

00:38:56.380 out of warranty.

00:38:57.560 Well, imagine what it would be like in 10 years.

00:39:00.040 You'll have to give them one of your arms.

00:39:01.840 And that's not what you want to do.

00:39:04.540 You could use CarShield and be paying the same price that you set up now.

00:39:08.300 So, why not?

00:39:09.380 You know, you pay CarShield and have them then take care of this for you.

00:40:00.500 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:40:21.620 He's got a problem with his voice right now.

00:40:23.640 So, hopefully be back tomorrow or very soon.

00:40:27.600 888-727-B-E-C-K.

00:40:30.280 You know they got up to 30 inches of snow in parts of North Dakota yesterday or over the weekend?

00:40:36.220 Really?

00:40:36.740 30 inches in April?

00:40:39.120 It's that global warming.

00:40:40.680 You know, it gets so hot.

00:40:42.740 It flips all the way back around to cold.

00:40:44.920 Yeah.

00:40:45.220 And starts to snow.

00:40:45.980 Circular thermometers.

00:40:47.340 Yeah.

00:40:47.920 They go all the way around and it just keeps going and then all of a sudden you're back at zero.

00:40:51.180 Yeah.

00:40:51.720 Yeah.

00:40:51.900 And negative temperatures.

00:40:53.240 Right.

00:40:53.840 And it really, you know, that's, you need to get rid of those.

00:40:56.440 That's the thing I would do immediately if I was made king is get rid of circular thermometers.

00:41:00.280 Well, stop some real problems like snow in April.

00:41:03.640 Because we can't have that.

00:41:04.800 Pat, that's just part of the weather weirding process.

00:41:08.180 Oh, that's right.

00:41:08.780 That's just weather.

00:41:09.940 Snow, whether it's snow or whether it's super, super bad heat.

00:41:13.040 Dry or wet.

00:41:14.340 It's still global.

00:41:15.720 Global warming.

00:41:16.720 Global warming.

00:41:16.860 Climate change.

00:41:18.120 Weather weirding.

00:41:18.140 The scientific wording of weather weirding is always been my favorite.

00:41:22.900 Like, because they're like, well, we can't, it's not warming, just weirding of the weather.

00:41:27.320 You're telling, you're a scientist telling me about weirding of the weather?

00:41:37.120 Let's talk about sweat block here.

00:41:38.880 Sweat block is, as you've, Glenn has been talking about quite a bit lately,

00:41:42.040 the best entertainment he's ever used, he says.

00:41:46.660 Which is pretty amazing.

00:41:47.680 I haven't actually used this stuff yet, but he's, he's, he raves about it.

00:41:52.420 And they have these wipes, Pat.

00:41:54.460 They're called, I guess they're sweat block wipes, and they use them once a week.

00:42:00.380 Like, we really have to get these for Jeffy.

00:42:02.560 Seriously.

00:42:03.600 Jeffy is the sweatiest person.

00:42:05.180 We make fun of him a lot.

00:42:06.980 Okay.

00:42:07.260 It could be 60 degrees and he's sweating like a pig.

00:42:10.180 Yeah.

00:42:10.980 And we make fun of Jeffy a lot.

00:42:12.660 At times exaggerate some of the things about him.

00:42:15.920 Like his criminal record, for example.

00:42:17.480 He's up for multiple felonies, but not.

00:42:19.920 Some of them are misdemeanors, you know.

00:42:22.060 Anyway, he, but he is like, he has a legit issue with it.

00:42:25.480 He hates it.

00:42:26.180 And we will go do the show and the lights are on and he starts sweating.

00:42:29.600 He hates it.

00:42:30.360 This stuff, supposedly you wipe once every seven days.

00:42:33.040 My gosh.

00:42:33.520 And then he gets rid of it.

00:42:34.860 That's awesome.

00:42:35.640 It's pretty incredible.

00:42:36.760 Glenn swears by this stuff.

00:42:38.600 You can try the deodorant stick as well.

00:42:41.480 You can get it all today for 20% off at sweatblock.com.

00:42:44.120 We've got to get this for Jeffy.

00:42:45.880 Now, the promo code is Beck, by the way.

00:42:47.180 You can get it on Amazon as well.

00:42:48.440 Sweatblock.com.

00:42:49.260 The code is Beck for 20% off.

00:42:50.560 We've got to get it on Amazon as well.

00:42:51.800 We've got to get it on Amazon as well.

00:43:07.720 We've got to get it on Amazon as well.

00:43:11.020 We've got no room to compromise

00:43:16.760 We've got to stand together if we're gonna survive

00:43:22.620 Stand up straight and hold the line

00:43:28.240 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise

00:43:34.180 When you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:42.320 This is the Glenn Back Program.

00:43:48.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's lost his voice for at least today.

00:43:53.260 Hopefully he'll be back soon.

00:43:55.800 Meantime, in about 60 seconds, we've got to tell you about this California law.

00:44:00.300 Savannah Hernandez has gone out on the street and asked some people about this law.

00:44:04.520 Which covers perinatal abortion.

00:44:08.540 You might recognize perinatal as after the birth.

00:44:11.980 Hmm.

00:44:13.060 That's interesting.

00:44:14.280 Now when you look up perinatal, that means like 28 days after birth.

00:44:20.840 A lot of the left are saying, no, no, no.

00:44:23.260 It's only 7 days after the birth.

00:44:25.980 Okay, so you can allow the baby to die just 7 days after birth?

00:44:30.980 Huh.

00:44:31.960 Wow, that's generous.

00:44:34.820 We'll get to that and more in 60 seconds.

00:44:43.020 Whether you're buying or selling a home, you need to have the best real estate agent you can have.

00:44:46.880 And that's why realestateagentsitrust.com exists.

00:44:49.640 Our friend, the voiceless, Glenn Beck, started this company many years ago.

00:44:54.900 Pat, I was talking to somebody yesterday who listed their house and listed at a price they were like excited to get.

00:45:01.560 Had 15 showings by the end of the first day.

00:45:05.820 15 showings.

00:45:07.100 Wow.

00:45:07.400 They had two offers over their asking price on the first day.

00:45:13.140 That's the market.

00:45:14.280 It's crazy, especially at least here in Texas.

00:45:16.180 I don't know if that's still holding up across the country, but in Texas it's like this right now.

00:45:19.960 But this is why it's so important.

00:45:21.360 It increases the importance of every real estate transaction.

00:45:24.040 If you are buying, you need to make sure you don't overreach for some house that's not worth it.

00:45:28.800 Right now it can get tempting to get into these wars.

00:45:31.040 You need a good real estate agent that can talk you through that process.

00:45:33.920 And if you're selling, you might not need to make that extra repair right now in this market.

00:45:38.380 And your real estate agent should know what you need to do.

00:45:41.760 What's the right offer to take?

00:45:43.100 Sometimes it's just the way that they're structured.

00:45:45.040 It's not just the number.

00:45:46.140 It's how they're structured that's really important.

00:45:48.180 You need to know.

00:45:49.440 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:50.280 Get the best real estate agent in your area.

00:45:52.380 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:57.900 That's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:46:01.840 We're talking about this California abortion law,

00:46:05.080 which allows abortion any time during the pregnancy,

00:46:10.540 as most abortion laws do now, at least in blue states.

00:46:15.680 Red states are starting to fight back against that.

00:46:19.720 But in the blue states, you can't be a Democrat anymore

00:46:26.080 and say abortion should be safe, rare, and legal, safe, and rare.

00:46:32.960 Because they don't care about rare anymore.

00:46:35.440 And they don't care when it happens anymore.

00:46:38.380 It could happen as the baby is being born.

00:46:40.900 That's the partial birth part.

00:46:42.360 Rare has gone the way of CNN Plus.

00:46:44.920 It is no longer a thing.

00:46:47.700 Yeah.

00:46:48.040 And they're kind of proud of it.

00:46:49.500 They're saying, well, if it's safe and legal,

00:46:51.500 why should we worry about rare?

00:46:53.640 Yeah.

00:46:54.020 They want to be more common.

00:46:55.400 Yeah.

00:46:55.720 Safe, legal, and common is their new...

00:46:57.960 And I don't even know.

00:46:59.000 They don't seem to care about much of that either, honestly.

00:47:01.020 No, they don't.

00:47:01.680 Certainly not for the baby.

00:47:02.040 They don't care about the safety of the baby at all.

00:47:04.820 The only thing they care about is legal.

00:47:06.380 Just let it happen anytime, anywhere.

00:47:09.780 We should have abortion clinics inside 7-Elevens

00:47:12.840 because it should be that convenient.

00:47:16.440 It should really be just whenever they please.

00:47:19.240 But in California, they're passing this law about perinatal abortions,

00:47:29.620 which allow the baby to die seven days after birth.

00:47:35.120 Very strange.

00:47:36.460 So Savannah Hernandez went out on the street asking people about this new law

00:47:41.600 and what their thoughts were.

00:47:42.940 So basically, if they have their baby, they can neglect them for seven days,

00:47:47.160 and if the baby dies, then they can't be held criminally liable.

00:47:50.800 What do you think?

00:47:51.820 Yeah.

00:47:52.060 I think whatever helps women and helps them achieve their dreams and whatever that needs to happen,

00:47:59.220 it's definitely...

00:47:59.920 Like...

00:48:00.200 Like...

00:48:00.480 Acts to help that is helping all of us.

00:48:03.280 Amen.

00:48:03.580 So I prefer that most women make their decisions at eight weeks.

00:48:07.360 Okay.

00:48:07.960 But I'm also in support of 10 months out of the womb.

00:48:11.740 So you think babies should be aborted 10 months after they're born?

00:48:15.140 If the mother wants to, yes.

00:48:17.740 I think...

00:48:18.840 ...them kids.

00:48:20.340 So if, like, you want to get a late-term abortion, like, that's up to you.

00:48:25.240 You know, I've had an abortion, too, and it was my choice, and I'm happy I had that choice.

00:48:29.920 I've had an abortion myself.

00:48:31.440 Would you guys get an abortion again?

00:48:33.180 Yes.

00:48:34.040 100 times.

00:48:35.400 I do it multiple times.

00:48:36.540 Me, too.

00:48:37.000 That's awesome.

00:48:37.180 Until I feel that I'm ready to parent, that's a choice I'll continue to make.

00:48:41.000 Huh.

00:48:41.420 Wow, that's great.

00:48:42.380 I had 22 abortions last week, Pat.

00:48:44.160 Did you really?

00:48:44.660 Yeah.

00:48:45.160 22.

00:48:45.360 In one week?

00:48:46.140 Yeah.

00:48:46.680 Now, I'm really happy about 21 of them.

00:48:49.080 You should maybe be a little more careful.

00:48:51.800 Is that too much of me to ask?

00:48:54.520 Pardon me?

00:48:54.920 Pardon me, Pat?

00:48:55.620 Is that too much to ask?

00:48:57.460 It is.

00:48:58.160 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:48:59.240 Wow.

00:48:59.740 I can't believe you even said that publicly.

00:49:01.840 Don't be careful.

00:49:03.180 I've just changed my mind.

00:49:04.220 Thank you.

00:49:04.700 Don't be careful.

00:49:06.960 Get pregnant as many times as you want.

00:49:09.740 Yeah, not careful, care less.

00:49:11.560 Right.

00:49:11.740 Be care less about your-

00:49:13.040 Yes, that's what I meant.

00:49:13.640 That's what we need to encourage in this society.

00:49:15.280 Mm-hmm.

00:49:15.520 More carelessness.

00:49:16.820 Mm-hmm.

00:49:17.080 That's the, that's the, I love that because that, when they say the don't say gay bill

00:49:23.080 and, you know, there are, they, people oppose this bill.

00:49:25.280 And in the bill specifically, it says age appropriate conversations.

00:49:28.840 So, to oppose the bill, you are outwardly asking for age inappropriate conversations.

00:49:35.900 The, the conversations must be inappropriate for the age, for your view of that bill, if

00:49:42.800 you're on the left.

00:49:43.440 The same thing here.

00:49:44.400 Like, if you, if you say to someone, what if you're more careful, maybe don't do the

00:49:49.980 activity.

00:49:50.780 Yeah, is that-

00:49:51.400 Or protect yourself before you do the activity.

00:49:53.280 Take some precaution.

00:49:54.800 I don't know.

00:49:55.160 There's pills for that.

00:49:56.240 There's pills.

00:49:56.860 There's condoms.

00:49:57.640 There's all sorts of things.

00:49:58.580 Yes.

00:49:58.920 You know.

00:49:59.140 Phylactics, all sorts of things.

00:50:00.480 There's all sorts of ways to make sure this, this does not occur if you would not like

00:50:03.880 it to occur.

00:50:04.580 Mm-hmm.

00:50:05.200 That, that no-

00:50:06.720 That don't involve tearing the baby apart in the womb.

00:50:09.240 Yeah.

00:50:09.920 I, it just seems like a basic step.

00:50:12.020 It does.

00:50:12.400 And, you know, I understand sometimes the world can be a complicated place.

00:50:16.800 Uh-huh.

00:50:17.120 However, encouraging the opposite of being careful, which would be to encourage someone to be

00:50:22.700 careless, is an odd choice for what we are supposed to believe is the responsible side

00:50:29.120 of an argument.

00:50:29.920 Yeah.

00:50:30.500 Well, could this have been precipitated by a guy who once said, I'm going to teach my

00:50:36.980 children, I got two daughters, nine years old and six years old, I'm going to teach

00:50:41.960 them principles, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.

00:50:48.260 I don't want them punished with an STD at 16.

00:50:52.540 Well, didn't you kind of set things up there for people to feel that way about being punished

00:50:58.240 with a baby?

00:50:59.240 Now they, they consider it a punishment that they just don't want to deal with.

00:51:04.420 And so they just eliminate it from their life.

00:51:07.340 It's incredible.

00:51:08.240 It really is incredible.

00:51:09.200 And this law goes even much, much farther.

00:51:12.720 Much.

00:51:13.100 Than this.

00:51:13.800 You know, talking about, you know, and Savannah, who, you know, was, was, was here with us at

00:51:18.100 the place, very nice and thoughtful person who's trying to actually get answers on these

00:51:23.720 questions.

00:51:25.220 And just asking questions, you know, I, you know, if you've never seen Savannah, she's

00:51:30.300 young.

00:51:31.200 She is, she's not an old white man.

00:51:33.680 Right.

00:51:34.500 And that is, of course, old white men have no, no knowledge.

00:51:37.400 And we should obviously get rid of all of them from society.

00:51:39.880 She's not one of them.

00:51:40.900 So we should never comment.

00:51:41.960 No, of course not abortion.

00:51:43.780 No pregnancy at all.

00:51:44.880 Obviously not at all.

00:51:46.420 She comes, you know, it's a different package.

00:51:49.540 The people talking or don't think she might be on the conservative side of the aisle.

00:51:54.580 They don't really consider that.

00:51:55.740 So they, they're not, their guard isn't up.

00:51:58.180 They're just answering the questions as they feel.

00:51:59.900 Yeah.

00:52:00.180 I had an abortion.

00:52:00.840 It was great.

00:52:01.820 I freaking loved it.

00:52:02.980 I would recommend everybody have about 10 to 12 abortions per month.

00:52:07.540 If you can do it, I highly recommend it.

00:52:10.480 But that's the attitude from some of these people.

00:52:13.820 And, you know, is there no limit?

00:52:17.080 What is the limiting principle, Pat, to the argument of women's choice?

00:52:21.480 What is the limiting principle of that argument?

00:52:24.520 To me, there isn't one.

00:52:26.040 There isn't one now.

00:52:26.940 That's a problem.

00:52:28.280 I mean, like, like the guy said, he prefers that you only get an abortion within the first

00:52:35.320 eight weeks.

00:52:35.880 But, he also supports 10 months after birth.

00:52:42.900 Right.

00:52:43.540 10.

00:52:44.220 If, if, if.

00:52:44.780 If the mother wants that.

00:52:46.860 Right.

00:52:47.340 He is not advocating that the dad should have an ER opinion on this.

00:52:50.640 No, but if the mother wants to kill the child, she may.

00:52:54.820 Yeah.

00:52:55.160 After 10 months.

00:52:56.740 Now, I don't know why the 10 months barrier.

00:52:59.220 Why not a year?

00:53:00.820 Two years?

00:53:01.760 Why not?

00:53:02.300 Why not now?

00:53:03.340 Why not?

00:53:03.960 Unreal.

00:53:04.400 Why not his parent right now?

00:53:06.400 Right?

00:53:06.900 This is the problem with this argument.

00:53:08.000 If his, if.

00:53:09.320 Oh my God.

00:53:09.740 His mother wants.

00:53:10.760 Right.

00:53:10.940 If his mother wanted.

00:53:11.840 To abort him now.

00:53:12.520 If his mother decided, you know, you know who sucks is my stupid kid, who I just saw on

00:53:17.900 television.

00:53:18.260 He's 28 years old and he's the dumbest person alive.

00:53:22.000 If you, this is radio, but if you saw his haircut, you could understand an abortion request

00:53:25.920 from mommy at this point.

00:53:28.040 Even at 28 years old, he, he's got the dumbest haircut I've ever seen in my life.

00:53:33.860 And that guy, that guy, maybe, you know, there's an argument to be made if mommy has a choice.

00:53:41.720 Yeah.

00:53:42.660 That maybe he should be aborted at 28 years old.

00:53:46.100 And honestly, when you, when you adopt the left wing view of this particular issue, why

00:53:53.480 wouldn't you?

00:53:55.040 Why not?

00:53:56.180 It's the mommy's choice.

00:53:57.600 The kid doesn't get rights till when.

00:53:59.560 Whenever you're saying it is, it's arbitrary.

00:54:02.720 Yeah.

00:54:02.920 Right.

00:54:03.180 At least we had a line of the birth canal before where we could say, okay, you know,

00:54:10.480 Kermit Gosnell, we're going to put him in prison because he kept killing people after

00:54:14.420 they were born.

00:54:15.360 Right.

00:54:15.880 That used to be, there was a time way back in like 2016 where we agreed with this.

00:54:21.260 At least we get acknowledged.

00:54:22.740 Okay.

00:54:23.020 There's Peter Singer out there.

00:54:24.460 He's a, an ethicist at Princeton.

00:54:26.460 There was a few people out there who would argue for abortion after birth, but it was pretty

00:54:31.480 rare.

00:54:31.800 Now it's not, it's not, it's becoming more and more common because of course, when you

00:54:36.920 say the fundamental foundational truth of this argument, when it comes to abortion is

00:54:42.060 mother's choice, there's no limit to that.

00:54:45.240 As long as mommy's alive, how do you, how do you draw this line?

00:54:51.260 How do you draw the line of it's mommy's choice?

00:54:55.000 So mommy gets to abort the fetus.

00:54:58.060 It's mommy's choice.

00:54:59.320 And we have no respect for life anymore.

00:55:02.380 Just none.

00:55:04.360 And we, people, these, obviously these kids are so desensitized to human life that they

00:55:12.400 don't care anymore.

00:55:13.620 And they don't care.

00:55:14.700 You can put this, you could see too.

00:55:15.620 They've put no thought into it.

00:55:16.900 Even the people who have had abortions have put no thought into this.

00:55:20.440 And it's because they know the standard comeback to any given argument about abortion is, well,

00:55:26.460 if the mom wants it and that gets you off the hook for no matter what you say.

00:55:29.960 Yeah.

00:55:30.120 You'd be like, well, you know, wait a minute.

00:55:31.780 But that woman was a dictator.

00:55:33.660 She committed genocide.

00:55:34.960 Well, yeah, but she was the mother of the country.

00:55:36.400 The mom wanted it.

00:55:37.160 Mother's choice.

00:55:38.620 They'll justify anything through that lens.

00:55:40.580 Because, of course, when it's arbitrary choice by a person, you can justify anything.

00:55:46.480 Right?

00:55:46.940 You can justify anything through that lens.

00:55:49.440 You know, what was the case back in Houston?

00:55:51.240 You'll remember this, Pat, where the mom drowned five other kids in the bathtub.

00:55:55.000 Yeah.

00:55:55.360 Andrea Yates.

00:55:56.140 Oh, my God.

00:55:56.660 It was one of the worst stories I've ever heard.

00:55:58.860 Horrific.

00:55:59.500 And, but like, why would a leftist oppose it?

00:56:03.240 Why would the people in that video oppose that, her treatment in that story?

00:56:09.120 It was mother's, mommy's choice.

00:56:09.640 Today, I don't know that they would.

00:56:11.540 I don't know that they would.

00:56:12.900 You just say, you know, well, look, you know, she made a choice there.

00:56:15.720 You know, she was the mom.

00:56:16.240 I think the oldest was seven, if I remember right.

00:56:20.540 So, I don't know if they would oppose that.

00:56:25.300 Do you think we could get an on, like an on record statement from, like an AOC to oppose

00:56:33.000 that case right now?

00:56:34.220 Do you think she would have, do you think, do you think she would say something to the

00:56:37.520 effect of, look, it might not be my choice.

00:56:40.280 Right, but I'm not going to affect her choice.

00:56:42.040 I'm not going to affect her choice.

00:56:42.880 She's the mom.

00:56:43.820 Yeah.

00:56:44.000 She gets to make that choice.

00:56:44.620 Who am I to tell her what choice to make there?

00:56:48.300 I don't know.

00:56:49.060 She was stark raving mad.

00:56:50.620 If.

00:56:51.060 You might want to.

00:56:52.240 Right.

00:56:52.700 Affect that choice.

00:56:53.400 If we are not at that point, we are close to it.

00:56:56.140 Yeah.

00:56:56.740 Yeah, we are.

00:56:57.600 But we are close to it.

00:56:58.560 They are, they're passing.

00:56:59.920 I mean, just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.

00:57:03.000 It gets worse.

00:57:04.680 I never would have thought we'd get to a point where people would be saying 10 months

00:57:09.800 after a birth of a human being that you can end their life.

00:57:16.740 If the mother wants it.

00:57:18.720 Would you have ever thought that that was possible?

00:57:22.000 Never.

00:57:22.680 Just a few years ago.

00:57:24.300 I mean, other than, like you said, Peter Singer, who has been saying this nonsense for

00:57:28.500 a while, but nobody took him seriously at first.

00:57:30.920 Apparently they are now.

00:57:31.880 Yeah, it's similar to the CRT thing.

00:57:34.040 You know, CRT bubbled up in people like, you know, the equivalent of Peter Singer, you

00:57:39.160 know, at institutions for a long time.

00:57:41.140 It sat there for a long time growing and manifesting itself as they taught generation after generation

00:57:46.600 this nonsensical ideology.

00:57:48.780 And now here we are, right?

00:57:54.060 Like now we're at the point where something pretty drastic has changed, where now that

00:57:59.840 philosophy that was just in colleges is now being taught to your elementary school kids

00:58:04.560 because their teachers went to college and learned it back 20, 30, 40 years ago.

00:58:11.040 And we're seeing this beginnings of that, I think now with, with this extreme abortion

00:58:16.780 and abortion argument.

00:58:18.460 And the only positive thing out of it is that it does highlight the craziness of the left

00:58:23.520 in a way that maybe you couldn't, you know, people when, when the argument was, okay, well,

00:58:30.100 but free viability, maybe it's okay, but we frown upon it.

00:58:33.040 We want to make it as rare as possible.

00:58:34.480 That argument, I think makes sense to some people.

00:58:37.420 It doesn't make sense to me, I will say, but it makes sense to some people.

00:58:41.620 I don't think the argument of we can kill babies after they're born makes a sense to a lot

00:58:45.520 of people, only the extreme left.

00:58:48.200 And I hope that's true.

00:58:49.260 Cause if it's not, we are, we're lost, Pat.

00:58:51.180 We're lost.

00:58:51.840 It's over.

00:58:52.600 No question.

00:58:53.260 The civilization is, is over.

00:59:11.920 in rates, you should consider that inflation is going up still.

00:59:15.820 These rates are going up still.

00:59:43.380 And I remember thinking to myself, I cannot let this, this opportunity go by.

00:59:47.080 We said it for year after year.

00:59:48.000 These are historically low rates.

00:59:49.640 They could go away anytime.

00:59:51.380 Looks like that's the direction we're going.

00:59:53.300 They've basically already announced it.

00:59:55.000 You don't want to miss these rates.

00:59:56.420 Refinance your home while you still can.

00:59:58.780 Look into the facts.

00:59:59.960 American financing is a group that I've worked with several times.

01:00:03.180 They're fantastic to deal with.

01:00:04.740 They are the mortgage consultants that are salary based.

01:00:07.120 They work for you, not the bank.

01:00:08.780 They'll give you a free mortgage review to determine what the best options available to

01:00:12.620 you are.

01:00:13.640 American financing.

01:00:14.420 It's 800-906-2440.

01:00:16.400 800-906-2440.

01:00:18.680 Or you can go see them at Americanfinancing.net.

01:00:21.060 It's Americanfinancing.net.

01:00:22.820 10 seconds.

01:00:23.700 Station ID.

01:00:35.620 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:00:39.560 Former model, Kathy Ireland, is among the celebrities going after this horrific bill in California,

01:00:48.080 trying to make people aware of it.

01:00:49.740 In fact, she tweeted out, I don't think I've ever seen Kathy Ireland say anything about politics.

01:00:55.280 But she tweeted out, a new iniquitous California bill, AB 2223, will legalize infanticide, killing

01:01:07.480 babies up to 28 days old.

01:01:10.120 People of all faiths, no faith.

01:01:12.200 Every political party, race, gender, and sexual orientation are vehemently rejecting this.

01:01:17.920 Please, click the link and take action.

01:01:22.000 So, the left is completely denying that this legalizes infanticide, of course, because that's, I mean, that's horrific.

01:01:32.040 And some of them are saying, no, it's only if the baby is born and you've got seven days to leave it to die, not 28.

01:01:42.700 So.

01:01:43.620 That's much more sensible.

01:01:45.200 Isn't it, though?

01:01:46.760 Yeah, isn't it?

01:01:47.460 This is what they do.

01:01:48.120 This is Overton Window City, though.

01:01:49.640 Yes.

01:01:49.780 This is what they do.

01:01:50.480 Okay, all of a sudden, yeah, 28 days, come on.

01:01:53.820 And they say it won't.

01:01:54.760 This kind of thing won't happen.

01:01:56.780 But when you open it up like this and you make an allowance for perinatal abortion, what does that mean?

01:02:04.560 Well, there's no such thing as perinatal abortion.

01:02:06.460 It's not a thing.

01:02:07.040 Right.

01:02:07.500 Abortion is murder.

01:02:08.440 It's murder of an infant, which is where the infanticide situation comes in.

01:02:13.820 And then now the left claims that's extreme and it's nonsense.

01:02:19.700 And when you go and visit PolitiFact or whatever, they'll say it's false.

01:02:23.760 But the bill is worded such that it does seem to legalize that.

01:02:29.840 And I don't know why you would have that in the bill if it's not going to allow that to occur.

01:02:37.500 So it's interesting that even some celebrities are starting to speak out about it.

01:02:44.940 Maybe there's some hope for humanity.

01:02:47.060 Because if people are at the point where we just look the other way on infanticide, we just look the other way when you can kill babies who have not been aborted.

01:02:59.640 But the mother doesn't want the baby after seven days after birth, then we're done as a civilization.

01:03:08.200 I think we're just over.

01:03:10.540 Again, what's the point of having a civilization other than to protect the people who need it the most and people who can't even feed themselves?

01:03:18.160 And that's what the most vulnerable among us.

01:03:20.760 It's why you do this.

01:03:21.740 It's why you build a society in the first place.

01:03:23.480 It's the most basic function of a society at some level.

01:03:27.380 And now we're at a point where they're admitting they don't want this to occur.

01:03:34.640 And you're right.

01:03:36.240 This is the same thing Northam had as his excuse when he was on a radio show and said, yeah, I mean, if the mom chooses after birth.

01:03:45.200 I mean, only if the mom chooses, obviously.

01:03:46.880 We're not going to force it.

01:03:49.220 Who was suggesting that we force it?

01:03:51.180 We were suggesting keeping the kid alive is what we were suggesting.

01:03:54.120 It's between keeping the kid alive and allowing it to be murdered.

01:03:57.660 Right.

01:03:57.920 And he was like, well, look, if the mother chooses, we have to, you know, we're just going to go with that choice.

01:04:01.560 And it's like afterward, they're like, well, it'll be rare.

01:04:04.580 And we don't really mean that it's going to happen all the time.

01:04:07.460 And you're blowing it out of proportion.

01:04:09.140 And yes, that's how it technically reads.

01:04:10.820 But that's not really going to be the way it's utilized.

01:04:12.420 And they always have some excuse when they realize they've said too much.

01:04:16.480 Yeah.

01:04:16.920 That's when the arguments come out.

01:04:18.660 But left to their own devices, they just say this stuff now.

01:04:22.340 And mean it.

01:04:23.340 And do it.

01:04:26.540 The Glenn Back Program.

01:04:28.060 When you donate to a charity, you're probably a data type of person.

01:04:34.100 You want to make sure that it's a worthy cause, that it does what it says it's going to do, that it is a good way to spend your hard-earned money.

01:04:42.320 Well, you've got to do your homework on the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

01:04:46.500 Charity Navigator rates them four out of four.

01:04:48.620 Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families.

01:04:54.500 This is a great organization.

01:04:55.360 You've probably heard of them.

01:04:56.340 They're fantastic.

01:04:58.080 If a first responder or military service member doesn't come home, young children are left behind.

01:05:03.080 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring their family to stability.

01:05:08.660 For catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.

01:05:18.540 And now through Operation Homebase, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.

01:05:22.780 It's just a great organization.

01:05:24.260 Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the line for our country and our communities, need your help.

01:05:29.220 Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.

01:05:56.980 On Friday, Joe Biden said something interesting about the future of the U.S. military.

01:06:06.260 I'm not convinced this is something we should focus on, but here's what he had to say.

01:06:12.580 In the United States military, every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly.

01:06:18.880 Every vehicle.

01:06:20.060 No, I mean it.

01:06:21.180 Yeah!

01:06:22.140 Yeah!

01:06:22.780 Spended billions of dollars to do it, but every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly.

01:06:31.000 I don't care about that.

01:06:32.920 What I care about is that the U.S. military, and I bet they do too, has the best equipment available to them.

01:06:40.540 Better than anybody else's equipment.

01:06:42.280 At any cost to the climate.

01:06:44.380 Yeah, whatever.

01:06:45.300 It's not something I'm even considering when thinking about the military.

01:06:48.060 Now, hopefully we don't have to use them.

01:06:50.100 Asinine!

01:06:50.500 But, yeah, that's not a...

01:06:52.500 By the way, watching the video, was he aware he was facing away from the podium and the microphone?

01:06:57.620 Probably not.

01:06:58.540 Probably not.

01:06:59.340 As it just seemed like he was just...

01:07:00.920 Now, I know there was people standing back there, but I'm hoping that he heard a question from back there and he turned around.

01:07:07.420 Because if not, we're even deeper down this problem area.

01:07:12.160 Watch him again and pay attention to that, because I'm pretty sure nobody says anything to him.

01:07:16.960 But...

01:07:18.960 In the United States military, every vehicle is going to be client-friendly.

01:07:24.080 He's facing the opposite way.

01:07:24.700 Why are you telling them?

01:07:26.120 No, I mean it.

01:07:27.360 No, he means it.

01:07:28.320 He's not joking.

01:07:29.160 He's spending billions of dollars to do it.

01:07:30.840 He's spending billions of dollars to do it.

01:07:33.400 Literally not a concern.

01:07:34.840 Not a concern.

01:07:35.520 The one thing that, when you think about the constitutional limitations of government, the one thing that they actually should be doing is a military.

01:07:44.760 They should have a military to protect the country.

01:07:46.700 Okay.

01:07:47.180 Yeah.

01:07:47.480 In addition to that minor detail, when you want the government to do something, you have to ask yourself a fundamental question.

01:07:58.500 Do I care about inefficiency?

01:08:01.460 And I mean that sincerely.

01:08:03.200 Like, there are things we want the government to do.

01:08:06.280 Mm-hmm.

01:08:06.600 But if you can clear that basic hurdle, in that you don't care about inefficiency, the government might have a role.

01:08:15.020 Like, for example, it would be inefficient to store, let's say, tens of thousands of ventilators.

01:08:26.040 Right?

01:08:26.700 For no use.

01:08:27.840 Mm-hmm.

01:08:28.080 Right?

01:08:28.520 Mm-hmm.

01:08:28.740 However, when a pandemic occurs, it would be great to have them.

01:08:32.740 So, you might be okay with the inefficiency.

01:08:35.980 Uh-huh.

01:08:36.260 No one can make money.

01:08:38.040 No business can be like, you know what?

01:08:39.440 I'm going to make some money.

01:08:40.180 I'm going to store some ventilators for about 15 years until a pandemic might happen.

01:08:43.800 Right?

01:08:44.100 There's no way to make that into a business model.

01:08:47.440 So, maybe the government steps in and has some of these around.

01:08:50.280 Now, of course, they tried to do that and failed.

01:08:53.120 So, even when you are okay with inefficiency, they'll probably screw it up.

01:08:58.000 But if you can embrace inefficiency, it might be okay for the government to be involved if there are no other constitutional concerns.

01:09:07.540 The military is a great example of this.

01:09:09.820 I am completely fine with the government blowing through a billion dollars trying to come up with a new weapons system.

01:09:17.680 Oh, yeah.

01:09:18.720 Totally fine with it.

01:09:19.840 I actually encourage them to try.

01:09:24.860 Take billions of dollars and try a bunch of different crazy stuff that you think might turn into an incredible weapons system to defend us.

01:09:31.640 That is an okay use of taxpayer dollars, in my opinion.

01:09:36.020 It is okay to spend money training soldiers for wars they may never fight.

01:09:43.040 Right?

01:09:43.860 Yes.

01:09:44.000 I am fine with that.

01:09:45.200 Make them really strong, give them the best weapons, make them the best military on earth, and hopefully that leads to a complete waste of money because they never fight a war.

01:09:55.640 Totally fine with that.

01:09:59.220 This idea is incredibly stupid.

01:10:02.820 The last thing you should worry about when talking about defending your country is an impossibly small percentage of global emissions.

01:10:13.180 Right.

01:10:13.280 It's like impossibly small to the point where...

01:10:15.700 Electric tanks.

01:10:16.560 Let's not worry about electric tanks right now.

01:10:19.360 Never think about it.

01:10:19.860 Never think of it.

01:10:21.020 Never think of it.

01:10:21.700 Especially when an electric car will only go 275 miles on a charge.

01:10:28.140 Right.

01:10:28.660 My tank, I want that to go as far as it needs to.

01:10:33.040 Yeah.

01:10:34.320 And without stopping overnight and charging it for 12 hours.

01:10:41.540 Exactly.

01:10:41.900 You know, if, you know what, if it's efficient and let's say the electric, because they usually do, the electric vehicle costs much more.

01:10:52.080 However, you found that it was a better way for a tank to operate.

01:10:55.160 And it'll last longer.

01:10:56.520 Then you should spend all of the money on that.

01:10:57.540 Yeah.

01:10:58.020 You know what I mean?

01:10:58.480 Yeah.

01:10:58.700 But right now, we don't have that.

01:11:00.740 That's not possible.

01:11:01.740 For example, one of the things we've done is come up with nuclear submarines.

01:11:05.700 Mm-hmm.

01:11:05.980 Right.

01:11:06.440 Because we, now that is not, that's not an efficient, we call it a nuclear submarine.

01:11:11.660 How could that possibly be?

01:11:12.980 Because we don't care about efficiency.

01:11:15.620 When you're defending the country, you take efficiency and you throw it in the garbage.

01:11:20.680 You don't recycle it.

01:11:21.940 You throw it directly into the trash.

01:11:23.660 Mm-hmm.

01:11:23.780 You don't think about it.

01:11:24.800 Now, look, that doesn't mean waste money on nothing.

01:11:27.600 No, when you're spending $600 for a toilet seat, that's the dumb inefficiency.

01:11:32.760 But it should be, at some level, expected.

01:11:35.740 This is why you don't turn over large portions of your economy to the government.

01:11:39.580 Because they're going to do things like that.

01:11:41.700 The military is going to buy $600 toilet seats.

01:11:44.220 They are.

01:11:45.020 Get used to it.

01:11:46.660 And, you know, I will, of course, if I'm in the military, if I'm advising military policy,

01:11:51.080 which, shockingly enough, at this point, I am not.

01:11:53.300 But if I were, I would advise against $600 toilet seats.

01:11:56.320 However, you have to go.

01:11:58.220 If I came across that line item, I might say.

01:11:59.460 You might say, not this one.

01:12:00.580 Can we find, like, something a little cheaper than that?

01:12:02.580 Right.

01:12:03.040 Like, I don't know, $20?

01:12:04.160 Right.

01:12:04.740 Is that possible?

01:12:05.380 But when they're like, you know, we are thinking, can we have, like, $100 million to try to bounce

01:12:09.460 lasers off of stars?

01:12:10.800 Yes.

01:12:11.080 Yes.

01:12:11.560 Yes.

01:12:11.880 You can have it.

01:12:12.340 Yes.

01:12:12.660 Yes.

01:12:12.860 Yes.

01:12:13.200 Here you go.

01:12:13.660 Here's your money.

01:12:14.440 Bounce some lasers off of stars.

01:12:15.620 See if they'll come down in Moscow.

01:12:16.920 I don't know.

01:12:17.660 Try it.

01:12:18.660 You know what I mean?

01:12:19.040 Like, when you're talking about the defense of the country, you don't care about these things.

01:12:22.620 And when you talk about, this is a, it's remarkable people just don't think about it.

01:12:28.220 When you're talking about cutting emissions, the decisions they ask you to make won't make

01:12:34.880 a difference, even if they're totally right on the science.

01:12:38.700 Often, conservatives will say, wait a minute, well, we quibble with you on this part of the

01:12:42.420 science.

01:12:42.720 We quibble with you on that part of the science.

01:12:44.500 And that's important.

01:12:45.460 Of course, getting the science right is really important.

01:12:47.400 If you have a, you know, a disagreement, it's important to have that debate.

01:12:51.040 But, like, it's also important to realize that if we lost, like, for example, if our

01:12:55.900 entire transportation sector, not just cars, not just your car, but cars, trucks, planes,

01:13:03.480 everything, our entire transportation sector went from what it is today to zero emissions

01:13:09.300 tomorrow, we would cut something like 4% of global emissions.

01:13:14.060 And that percentage would be made up by China within about two or three years.

01:13:18.060 So, think of what a ridiculous standard that is.

01:13:22.700 Turning the transportation sector off, not cutting its emissions, not making it just our

01:13:31.420 military use green vehicles, but turning our entire transportation sector off tomorrow would

01:13:39.260 make basically no difference.

01:13:41.540 That is how, that's how grand a scale this issue is.

01:13:45.440 It's not the type of issue you could say, you, you, your personal sacrifice is a giant

01:13:51.500 zilch.

01:13:52.500 It means nothing.

01:13:53.800 It is just a signal.

01:13:56.280 It is just a way to play along, to tell everyone who you are, what you care about.

01:14:02.220 They are trying to influence, not the climate, but your votes with this nonsense.

01:14:08.020 That is all it is.

01:14:09.240 It will not do anything.

01:14:11.080 You buying hybrids, even, you know, there's a lot of affinity for our friend, Elon Musk,

01:14:17.020 who has done more to affect this issue when it comes to the transportation sector than

01:14:21.660 any individual human being.

01:14:23.140 And now the left hates him.

01:14:24.980 We should point out that they obviously don't believe that global warming is the single most

01:14:31.360 dire existential threat to our country.

01:14:34.580 Because obviously Elon Musk, I mean, the guy's tweeted a couple of things we don't like,

01:14:39.540 so let's abandon him.

01:14:41.020 He's not, he's not getting, these aren't union jobs, Pat.

01:14:44.000 So we don't care about his cutting of emissions, but he's built an electric car company and

01:14:48.000 actually made it something that people want.

01:14:51.460 And he's built rockets that can eventually get us to Mars.

01:14:55.140 Right.

01:14:55.520 Because he thinks we're going to need to live there someday.

01:14:57.740 Yes.

01:14:58.360 That's how seriously.

01:14:59.600 That's how much he believes in global warming.

01:15:01.360 Right.

01:15:01.980 But honestly, taking even all these cars and going to electric will make no difference.

01:15:06.940 And this is not, remember, of course, electric cars are not emission free.

01:15:09.560 They're built on a, on electricity that is, that is largely coming from fossil fuels, mostly

01:15:15.580 natural gas, but also some coal and oil and other items.

01:15:19.840 In addition to that, there's a lot of emissions in the, the process to put these cars together

01:15:25.440 that are almost never included.

01:15:26.840 But in addition to that, there's the battery that once it's done with its life cycle, it's

01:15:34.280 incredibly toxic to the earth.

01:15:36.840 And the number one supplier for the nickel for these batteries comes from Ukraine and

01:15:40.080 Russia.

01:15:40.300 So there's a lot of issues associated with this.

01:15:43.540 That being said, even if it was perfect and it really did cut all of these cars to zero,

01:15:48.420 it still wouldn't do anything.

01:15:49.880 It wouldn't do anything to solve this problem, even if their science is completely right.

01:15:54.400 So it shows how ridiculous this conversation can be.

01:15:58.180 And to take what I just described, the entire transportation sector going to zero emissions

01:16:03.520 and think it should be a priority for our military to worry about electric tanks, it's got to

01:16:09.700 be, it is the most Joe Biden thing I've ever heard in my life.

01:16:13.600 Yeah.

01:16:13.900 Just plain dumb.

01:16:14.640 Dumb.

01:16:15.380 It's as if he is completely senile when it comes to thinking of these things.

01:16:21.480 He, I mean, that's a good point because he kind of is, he's, he's kind of completely

01:16:26.740 senile.

01:16:27.720 I mean, look at him on Friday when he did another phantom handshake.

01:16:32.260 This is kind of, this is another one.

01:16:34.160 Yeah.

01:16:34.300 He offers his hand to the wall here in a second.

01:16:37.180 Hello.

01:16:38.580 What are you, what are you doing?

01:16:42.460 And now we watch, he goes the wrong way because you're going to see the secret service

01:16:47.720 agent, which you never see.

01:16:48.980 Follow him in there because he went the wrong way.

01:16:52.120 That's why you see the secret service agent because he's going the wrong way.

01:16:55.820 So he turns around.

01:16:56.880 Can we see that one more time?

01:16:57.980 He turns around and offers his hand to the wall or something.

01:17:03.160 What are you doing?

01:17:04.340 Hello.

01:17:06.200 And then he realizes and turns around.

01:17:09.060 And then goes the wrong way.

01:17:09.960 And then goes the wrong way.

01:17:12.100 And almost tripped, I think, and fell on his face.

01:17:14.380 And then the secret service.

01:17:15.180 And there's the secret service.

01:17:16.240 Oh my gosh.

01:17:17.360 You know, I, I, I've, I've been working on something, Pat, a scientific project of sorts

01:17:21.300 over the past few weeks for Studos America.

01:17:23.960 My show, by the way, available on podcast.

01:17:26.600 Make sure to subscribe to it or on youtube.com slash Studos America.

01:17:29.740 Um, it is, uh, a, the, uh, Joe Biden gaffe emotional triangle.

01:17:38.100 And I've decided to, to come up with this to understand the three types of feelings and

01:17:44.220 emotions you have after watching a Joe Biden gaffe.

01:17:46.680 There is funny.

01:17:49.140 There is, uh, fear.

01:17:52.180 Mm-hmm.

01:17:52.600 And there is sadness.

01:17:53.780 Yes.

01:17:54.100 And, and each gaffe has a different profile on this triangle and it's plotted on this

01:17:59.200 triangle to try to understand where it goes.

01:18:01.680 Cause sometimes I watch this and I'm like, oh my gosh, what an idiot.

01:18:03.920 Like that one.

01:18:04.480 That's kind of how I felt.

01:18:05.520 Yeah.

01:18:05.780 It was just funny.

01:18:06.700 Maybe a little sad, not necessarily scary.

01:18:09.620 Mm-hmm.

01:18:10.400 When he says something about like, hey, we might just nuke Moscow tomorrow.

01:18:14.940 That's in the scary section.

01:18:16.420 And probably also sad.

01:18:17.740 Not quite as funny.

01:18:18.740 You know, these three distinct feelings you feel when watching Joe Biden screw up on one

01:18:25.000 of his 20 to 30 times a day, you really need to under, to, to categorize them.

01:18:30.120 And I feel like we've had a, uh, a movement.

01:18:33.880 If we were to plot these, these gaffes over time, we would see a movement towards scary.

01:18:39.620 I feel like we, you know, it was funny at first and then it got kind of sad.

01:18:43.820 Mm-hmm.

01:18:44.120 And now it really is like, especially with this war stuff, I'm getting to the point where

01:18:48.680 I'm legitimately scared he is going to gaff us into World War III.

01:18:52.280 I am legitimately scared of that.

01:18:54.020 Oh, he could.

01:18:54.040 He absolutely could.

01:18:55.120 He almost has done it multiple times saying we had troops in, in Ukraine.

01:18:59.780 Right.

01:19:00.220 Saying that, ah, it's okay.

01:19:01.980 A minor incursion probably won't do much of anything.

01:19:04.320 We probably won't react to that.

01:19:05.600 Mm-hmm.

01:19:05.800 Ah, NATO might not stick together.

01:19:07.580 There's going to be a lot of disagreement if they do anything.

01:19:10.240 Um, what was the other one?

01:19:11.560 There was another big one in there that I'm missing.

01:19:12.920 It was right around the, the troop.

01:19:14.400 It was in that speech that he made in Poland, uh, where he, oh, he, uh,

01:19:18.680 regime change in Russia.

01:19:20.360 Oh, yeah.

01:19:20.940 Right.

01:19:21.060 Where he basically seemed to change the U.S. policy on the fly for regime change.

01:19:25.200 He had another one where he was talking about gas prices and just blurted out another major

01:19:31.040 change in U.S. policy.

01:19:33.080 This is like, it's becoming an issue where Vladimir Putin's already not the most sane

01:19:39.060 person.

01:19:39.800 Okay.

01:19:40.020 He's already doing things that are pretty erratic.

01:19:42.060 And we're giving him excuses to justify that stuff to his own people.

01:19:46.800 He can play videos.

01:19:49.300 Uh, like when, like, what's his dumb justification with the Ukraine thing?

01:19:53.060 He's like, oh, well, you know, basically this is, uh, the United States and the West aiding

01:19:58.780 Ukraine.

01:19:59.600 They want to come after us in Russia.

01:20:01.160 Let me show you the evidence of this.

01:20:03.000 Here's Joe Biden announcing $800 million of arms coming to kill your children.

01:20:07.440 Right.

01:20:08.000 Russian citizens.

01:20:09.220 And, uh, here's another video of, and that one's actually not a gaffe.

01:20:12.300 That's just for some reason, our policy to just announce all this stuff.

01:20:15.160 But then, uh, and then here he is talking about how he wants to make sure I can't be

01:20:19.140 in power anymore.

01:20:19.960 He wants to change your leadership.

01:20:21.080 I'm of course the person you voted in so, so overwhelmingly so many times.

01:20:24.760 And now he wants to change that.

01:20:27.320 Does he have an argument to the Russian people about that?

01:20:29.460 Are they going to support that?

01:20:30.500 Probably.

01:20:31.140 Yeah, probably.

01:20:32.740 888-700, uh, 727-B-E-C-K, 888-727-BEC.

01:20:38.360 And there aren't too many, uh, pet owners, uh, out there these days that don't want the

01:20:42.220 absolute best for their best friend.

01:20:44.140 It's a man's best friend.

01:20:45.000 Your dog is part of the family.

01:20:46.760 You want him to live a long and healthy life and be at his happiest.

01:20:50.140 When he eats, it's a lot, what do you, you know, he want him to be happy.

01:20:54.420 You want him to eat something that is healthy.

01:20:56.400 If he's eating dog food, especially kibble food, he might not be getting all the nutrients

01:20:59.700 that he needs.

01:21:00.560 The good news is there's rough greens.

01:21:02.520 Rough greens is not a dog food.

01:21:03.780 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of the dog food and it makes them eat it immediately.

01:21:08.560 Chuck full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.

01:21:12.000 It's in there.

01:21:12.500 If it's healthy for your dog and rough greens has it, uh, most dogs will go crazy for it.

01:21:17.740 At least every dog I've ever, uh, seen with rough greens just goes nuts for it.

01:21:21.780 Try it out with your dog and you will see the folks over at rough greens are so confident

01:21:24.980 that your dog is going to love it.

01:21:26.040 They have a special deal going for you right now.

01:21:27.880 Go to rough greens.com slash back and they're going to give you your first bag free for,

01:21:33.280 uh, first bag is free.

01:21:35.260 All you'll have to do is pay for shipping.

01:21:45.580 slash back.

01:21:49.340 The Glenn back program.

01:21:57.880 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:10.300 He's, uh, lost his voice, but hopefully we'll regain that soon.

01:22:14.640 Uh, we certainly hope so.

01:22:16.280 So hopefully he'll be, he'll be back very, very shortly.

01:22:19.260 Uh, we've got more on Joe Biden to share with you because, uh, it just never, he's, he's the gift

01:22:26.600 that just keeps on giving and, uh, he gives and he gives and he gives like he did as he

01:22:33.400 was, uh, criticizing Florida Republicans during a pair of fundraisers, uh, late last week for

01:22:40.440 targeting Disney and what he has to say needs to be heard.

01:22:44.940 Hmm.

01:22:45.920 Uh, and I think you'll find it's pretty powerful and we'll, we'll share that with you, uh, coming

01:22:52.660 up here in a few minutes.

01:22:53.400 Plus it looks like Elon Musk and Twitter are getting very near some sort of agreement.

01:22:59.900 We'll get into that as well.

01:23:00.760 This is the Glenn back program.

01:23:03.080 We've got no room to compromise.

01:23:25.360 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:50.260 This is the Glenn back program today featuring Pat Gray, Stu Perkeer, Pat and Stu for Glenn,

01:24:01.640 uh, who's lost his voice.

01:24:03.700 Hopefully we'll get that back soon and we'll be back with us.

01:24:07.860 Uh, some fascinating and powerful words, uh, from Joe Biden that we're going to share with

01:24:14.220 you coming up here in a minute.

01:24:15.240 Uh, also, uh, the latest on Elon Musk and his effort to buy Twitter coming up 60 seconds.

01:24:27.280 Gold line is the premier precious metal provider in America.

01:24:30.300 And you know, until, uh, they call a lot of people aren't even aware about the 30% of,

01:24:34.700 uh, gold line clients that buy silver instead of gold.

01:24:37.620 A lot of clients who have already purchased gold call back to add to their portfolios by

01:24:41.700 getting silver as well.

01:24:43.440 Uh, it is, you know, look, you've seen what's gone on with the economy lately.

01:24:46.800 It is a, in a state of flux every single day, do your own homework and understand if gold

01:24:51.800 line can be right for you to make sure your portfolio is, is diversified in a way that

01:24:57.400 makes sense in this current environment.

01:24:58.840 If anything does, geez, we're just in such insane times.

01:25:01.860 The new Benjamin Franklin silver rounds that Glenn designed himself have been sold out

01:25:06.280 every week, um, that a new supply has been minted.

01:25:08.980 Even so, if you call and say that Glenn sent you, you'll receive a free mind your business

01:25:13.120 bars with every purchase that includes silver Ben Franklin rounds.

01:25:16.240 The more you buy, the more you get free call gold line today and find out how to get started.

01:25:20.300 You can call eight, six, six gold line or go to gold line.com.

01:25:26.440 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K.

01:25:29.920 The number to call, uh, brain dead, Joe brain dead, Biden, uh, our president criticizing

01:25:37.920 Florida Republicans during a pair of fundraisers late last week for targeting Disney after the

01:25:44.020 company expressed their opposition to the, the law restricting discussions about sexual

01:25:49.180 orientation and gender.

01:25:50.600 So important to, uh, teach kindergartners about gender changing and about sexual orientation.

01:25:57.460 Uh, nothing better than to tell a five-year-old about sexual preferences and, uh, exactly what

01:26:04.300 people prefer and, and, and do in, in, in, in their private time in bedrooms.

01:26:09.240 Um, I think, I think it's, it's critical.

01:26:12.400 It's critical to teach that in schools, in kindergartens and third to third graders.

01:26:17.740 Um, but here's, here's what, uh, Biden had to say because he has such a way with words.

01:26:25.380 I respect conservatives.

01:26:27.940 Yeah.

01:26:28.580 No, he doesn't.

01:26:29.860 There's nothing conservative though about deciding you're going to throw Disney out of its present

01:26:36.240 posture because Mickey mouse.

01:26:39.080 Anybody understand that particular sentence?

01:26:43.880 There's nothing conservative about deciding you're going to throw Disney out of its present

01:26:48.560 posture because Mickey mouse, in fact, did he just see Mickey mouse?

01:26:55.960 No.

01:26:56.580 Did he hallucinate that Mickey mouse had walked in the room and he was calling him?

01:26:59.760 No, I don't think so.

01:26:59.920 Okay.

01:27:00.140 No.

01:27:01.580 In fact, you think we should not be able to say, you know, gay, end of sentence.

01:27:11.080 That's pretty, pretty smart.

01:27:12.780 It's pretty powerful, isn't it?

01:27:14.260 Yeah.

01:27:14.540 It's pretty powerful.

01:27:15.560 It is not the dumbest thing I've heard about that law.

01:27:18.300 Like that I can say over the past few weeks.

01:27:20.060 I've heard a lot of really stupid stuff.

01:27:21.580 So just saying that is basically the level of MSNBC's analysis over the past several weeks.

01:27:27.200 That's about right.

01:27:27.700 But then he had this to say, I mean, what's going on here?

01:27:34.180 What the hell is going on here?

01:27:37.380 And it's just, it's so, I don't think this is where the vast majority of the American people

01:27:43.820 are.

01:27:46.780 He then went on to say, and this is one of my pet peeves.

01:27:52.560 This is not your father's Republican party.

01:27:55.260 Okay.

01:27:57.420 How many times have we heard how radical the Republican party is?

01:28:02.500 He said, this is a different deal, not a joke.

01:28:07.160 Why does he always have to say that?

01:28:09.900 Why?

01:28:10.640 We know you're not joking about that.

01:28:12.320 Why would you joke about that?

01:28:14.040 This is, this is a different deal.

01:28:16.720 Why would I even think that sentence is a joke?

01:28:21.540 What?

01:28:21.920 It's so weird.

01:28:22.880 This is a different deal, not a joke.

01:28:25.740 Yeah.

01:28:26.160 I, okay.

01:28:27.320 I wasn't thinking you were joking about a different deal.

01:28:32.840 It's so bizarre.

01:28:35.060 This is weird.

01:28:35.660 Tiki has that.

01:28:36.720 Yeah, it is.

01:28:37.660 He's not even, he almost says it in a point where he says something that's obviously wrong.

01:28:43.020 It seems like when he says that, he usually follows it up with, that's not a joke.

01:28:47.220 That's not a joke.

01:28:47.800 Right?

01:28:48.020 Like when he, it's not a joke.

01:28:49.540 Like when he exaggerates something or says something really offensive, that's when he

01:28:54.660 says it's not a joke.

01:28:55.880 When no one was saying, no one was saying it was a joke.

01:28:57.300 Nobody was saying, nobody laughed, nobody guffawed, nobody smiled.

01:29:02.300 Nobody thought it was a joke.

01:29:03.620 Your presidency is a joke.

01:29:04.980 Yeah.

01:29:05.240 Yes.

01:29:05.520 But we don't think what you just said is a joke.

01:29:07.400 Right.

01:29:07.760 And what was it was, um, this is a strange construct and he's been using this a lot.

01:29:12.760 This, it's not your father's Republican party thing.

01:29:15.800 Like by all measures that you would look at and say, okay, these are important to Democrats.

01:29:25.040 Whether it's like gay rights, trans rights, you know, um, I mean, every one of their hot

01:29:32.040 button issues, you would say that the Republican party has come the way of the Democrats.

01:29:37.500 Like the old school Republicans were more restrictive on these things, on all these woke causes.

01:29:46.440 And so were Democrats.

01:29:47.860 And so were Democrats.

01:29:48.480 I mean, Democrats have come so far.

01:29:50.520 His own party has literally merged with the communist party.

01:29:55.440 So much so that during the last presidential election, the communist party USA didn't even

01:30:02.900 run a candidate because they were so content with Joe Biden as the democratic candidate.

01:30:09.360 They loved him.

01:30:10.900 And so they didn't even run their own.

01:30:13.320 They're like, no, you guys got it.

01:30:15.000 Yeah.

01:30:15.540 You're, you're fine.

01:30:16.400 You're communist enough for us.

01:30:17.820 We love it.

01:30:18.380 This is, I believe what's happening with Mike Lee in Utah now where the Democrats are

01:30:21.820 just like, yeah, let's just not even run anybody.

01:30:23.320 Evan McMullin's fine.

01:30:24.200 That's exactly what happened there.

01:30:26.480 That is essentially what's happening there.

01:30:27.340 Right.

01:30:27.620 Which is embarrassing.

01:30:29.000 It is.

01:30:29.340 And Mike Lee should come out of that race okay, but.

01:30:32.500 I think he will.

01:30:33.220 Yeah, he's way ahead.

01:30:33.980 There's still, this is, the Democrats have basically given up the state.

01:30:37.160 They're like, well, we've already got, you know, Evan McMullin running as an independent

01:30:41.760 and he, we think he's the best chance to take out Mike Lee.

01:30:45.080 So let's not run anybody.

01:30:47.640 It's a quite, quite an admission on several different levels.

01:30:50.540 I will say.

01:30:51.680 It is.

01:30:52.000 And I will say, Evan, Evan McMullin's fooled me for about five minutes and I regret those

01:31:00.400 five minutes a great deal, but he is not who he claimed to be at first.

01:31:06.560 Yeah.

01:31:07.000 Unfortunately.

01:31:07.860 So.

01:31:08.120 But again, like, even if he was a, a, I mean, he basically presented as a, you know, establishment

01:31:17.100 Republican.

01:31:17.720 That is not what he's attempting to do here.

01:31:21.080 No.

01:31:21.460 You know, I mean, I don't understand the path.

01:31:23.120 He's almost a Democrat now.

01:31:24.900 It just seems to be that there's a whole, there's a whole class of people for whatever

01:31:28.000 reason, uh, who I guess got on the, you know, it's, it's look, the, the, the last few years

01:31:35.500 have been very interesting in the way it's scrambled politics.

01:31:38.320 And I can understand sometimes some of the strange things that have occurred, but there's

01:31:43.160 a decent amount of people who were critical of Donald Trump who never were able to, to

01:31:48.620 not just look at him.

01:31:50.080 Honestly, again, I, I, like, I, I still have a lot of problems with some of the policies

01:31:54.740 of Donald Trump and some of the actions of Donald Trump.

01:31:56.720 I don't think he's a perfect guy by any means, but I can say that I, you know, some of the

01:32:00.080 things I expected him to do in 2016, he did, he performed much, he was much above my expectations.

01:32:06.100 Oh yeah.

01:32:06.660 Mine too.

01:32:07.020 From that, uh, from, from several policy standpoints.

01:32:11.440 And like, you know, if you can't sit back and say, okay, well, every belief I had in 2016

01:32:16.880 wasn't exactly, if you can't just admit to yourself that everything I thought in 2016

01:32:21.300 wasn't perfect, and I don't know, that's okay.

01:32:24.380 You know, I mean, I think everybody has had changes of heart on individual people.

01:32:28.620 I mean, you know, like Mitt Romney, I think presents that same way.

01:32:31.640 Yeah.

01:32:31.920 Romney in 2012, I thought, you know, I wasn't like.

01:32:35.240 I liked him better than I do now.

01:32:36.960 Yeah.

01:32:37.180 I mean, I wasn't thrilled with Mitt Romney as the presidential nominee in 2012, but like,

01:32:43.740 you know, I mean, I, I would have been, I wanted him to be Barack Obama.

01:32:46.680 I'll tell you that much.

01:32:47.500 Oh yeah.

01:32:48.080 In a big way.

01:32:48.920 Yeah, I did too.

01:32:50.060 And, uh, he didn't.

01:32:51.780 And like he, but like he said, he does seem to be a completely different person on several

01:32:57.540 measures, not every measure, but on several measures, he seems to be a completely different

01:33:01.580 person than the guy who ran in 2008 and 2012.

01:33:05.020 Definitely.

01:33:05.600 And I don't understand.

01:33:08.500 It's not, it's okay to change, but like, it doesn't seem like these changes are driven

01:33:15.000 by things at times.

01:33:16.460 It just seems like, well, you know, the people who used to like me don't like me anymore.

01:33:22.460 So this new group of people who are on MSNBC all the time, they seem to like me.

01:33:26.780 So I guess I'll side with them on everything now.

01:33:29.060 It does seem like there's weird calculations that go on with some of these politicians.

01:33:32.860 I don't know.

01:33:33.400 But I do find it amazing though, that, that they're not even, Democrats are like, yeah,

01:33:37.200 let's not even try.

01:33:38.440 Let's not even try to beat Mike Lee.

01:33:39.600 There he is.

01:33:40.540 It's incredible.

01:33:41.260 Give it up.

01:33:42.000 It's incredible.

01:33:44.100 And again, as far as, as far as it being your father's Republican party or anybody's Democrat

01:33:52.980 party, these guys, Joe Biden wouldn't recognize Joe Biden of 1992.

01:34:00.020 There's no way from 30, Joe Biden 30 years ago was not the same guy he is today.

01:34:05.660 Chuck Schumer 30 years ago, not the same guy.

01:34:08.340 Harry Reid, when he was alive, completely different in, in the early nineties than he was around

01:34:14.500 the time of, of his death.

01:34:16.380 All of these guys have changed and radicalized to the point where they've changed on everything

01:34:22.100 from protecting the border to abortion.

01:34:26.140 I mean, they were, some of them were practically pro-life back in the day, but all of them, I

01:34:36.380 mean, the worst that they would do is support Roe v. Wade, which was, you know, really the

01:34:41.700 first trimester.

01:34:42.960 I mean, we've gone so far past, so far beyond Roe v. Wade that you can't even see Roe v.

01:34:49.180 Wade from where the Democrat party is today.

01:34:51.440 No.

01:34:51.920 Can't even see it from here.

01:34:53.260 I mean, it would be an incredible move toward conservatism and toward the pro-life cause

01:34:59.640 if we just adopted Roe v. Wade at this point.

01:35:02.300 Oh yeah.

01:35:02.600 That's how bad the abortion laws are in this country.

01:35:05.420 If we just went to the point where Roe v. Wade initially decided, which was, you know,

01:35:10.480 first trimester you can, you can have abortions pretty much on, I mean, pretty much on demand.

01:35:15.240 But after that, states can start regulating it.

01:35:17.920 And, you know, when you hear a crazy law, like they just passed a 15 week abortion restriction

01:35:25.320 in, you know, Florida, that was, you know, a lot of that was allowed under Roe v. Wade.

01:35:30.600 It depends on the third trimester, they could, states could do pretty much whatever they

01:35:34.740 wanted.

01:35:35.360 The second one, it had to do with life and health and there were some other modifications.

01:35:39.800 Now that got updated in Casey and has become more and more liberalized ever since.

01:35:45.640 But.

01:35:45.920 By a lot.

01:35:46.420 But we're not even close to those initial days.

01:35:49.060 No.

01:35:50.060 And we're not even close to Europe anymore.

01:35:52.960 It used to be.

01:35:53.620 Well, in Europe, they're much more liberal than there are laws here.

01:35:57.160 Well, I think, are there any countries that are as progressive with abortion as we are

01:36:03.860 now?

01:36:05.300 I don't, I don't know of them if, if there are, I mean, I think most of the European countries

01:36:12.460 ban abortion after a certain point.

01:36:15.280 Almost every European country has laws that are more restrictive on abortion than us, than

01:36:22.000 us.

01:36:22.280 And like the state of Utah, right?

01:36:24.920 Like it's that.

01:36:26.040 More restrictive than Utah.

01:36:27.600 Most do.

01:36:28.700 Most do.

01:36:29.180 That's incredible.

01:36:30.260 You know, the.

01:36:31.520 Wow.

01:36:31.880 Which is crazy when you think about it.

01:36:33.600 Yeah.

01:36:33.900 You know, and, and those, some of these laws have changed over the past couple of years.

01:36:37.740 Obviously, there's a big push right now to prepare for a potential overturn of Roe versus

01:36:44.860 Wade, which, you know, still to me never seems to be possible.

01:36:48.540 Well, I didn't think it was possible, but I don't know.

01:36:51.280 Things are kind of heading in that direction now.

01:36:53.500 This is exactly what it feels.

01:36:55.080 Except for California, of course.

01:36:56.980 Yeah.

01:36:57.280 And, and, and to be clear, if they overturn Roe versus Wade, it will get a lot worse in

01:37:01.460 some of these states because some of these states will, will use this as an excuse to

01:37:05.660 open up to what California is doing.

01:37:08.180 Yeah.

01:37:08.460 You know, they're, they're going to say, well.

01:37:10.300 Up to birth and then even after birth.

01:37:12.240 All of these restrictions that we're seeing by these evil conservative states, we're going

01:37:15.780 to open up even more.

01:37:16.700 And look, the people who want to get abortions, largely speaking, we've seen multiple studies

01:37:21.360 on this.

01:37:21.740 This is happening in Texas currently, as we speak, most people who want to get abortions

01:37:27.000 get them anyway.

01:37:28.320 They're going to go to other states and they're going to get them anyway.

01:37:30.880 That doesn't mean you don't make the law correct, but it does mean that if you believe

01:37:34.360 that overturning Roe versus Wade or passing abortions restrictions in red states is going to change

01:37:39.360 as much as you want it to change, it gets rid of this process.

01:37:43.860 It's not going to happen that way.

01:37:45.560 You're going to have to change people's minds and hearts over a long period of time, which

01:37:49.800 I do think, I do believe will occur.

01:37:52.260 We've talked about this over the years, Pat.

01:37:53.740 I do believe that.

01:37:55.500 History will look back on this period.

01:37:56.960 Yeah.

01:37:57.700 With a really discerning eye.

01:37:59.280 Yeah.

01:37:59.520 That what you guys allowed, you guys allowed murder of babies like this?

01:38:04.100 63 million babies, seriously, in 50 years.

01:38:09.880 It's unbelievable.

01:38:10.820 I think I do.

01:38:11.420 They will judge us harshly and history should judge us harshly.

01:38:16.260 Well, not me and not you because I'm opposed to it, but I think the people who will like

01:38:20.440 it, I think it's similar to slavery, right?

01:38:22.660 Not everybody had slaves.

01:38:24.120 Right.

01:38:24.340 It was mostly rich people and it was not even all rich people by any means.

01:38:28.160 You know, history correctly, I think, judges harshly those days, very harshly.

01:38:33.460 But I do believe that abortion will eventually come to a point where we look back at it like

01:38:38.140 that, where we all look at it and say, wait, what the hell did we do?

01:38:41.580 Yeah.

01:38:41.720 You know, obviously the left likes to use these things and say all these crazy things and

01:38:45.980 compare every issue to slavery and this is what they do.

01:38:49.240 But every thinking American looks back at that age and says, well, why couldn't it have

01:38:54.560 been different?

01:38:55.600 You know, I mean, you can, yes, putting things in proper perspective for the people at their

01:39:01.340 time is important, but also like, come on, how did you just not know on the surface that

01:39:06.120 enslaving a race of people was wrong?

01:39:09.200 It seems to me, it's hard to believe.

01:39:11.080 It's hard to believe.

01:39:12.040 I do think that's how people will look back at abortion eventually.

01:39:14.900 Wait, they did what?

01:39:16.320 What did they say was okay?

01:39:17.860 That?

01:39:18.280 No.

01:39:19.000 Come on.

01:39:19.620 It's like we look back at the actions of Russia, the Soviet Union or other, you know, countries

01:39:27.940 like Germany.

01:39:29.100 You look back at them and you say, wait, what did they justify?

01:39:31.580 And a lot of people did come up with ways to justify those actions.

01:39:35.320 These were people, they were drains on society and it was easy.

01:39:40.620 When society allows it, it's easy to justify.

01:39:45.160 And so many people did.

01:39:45.960 I do think that we will look back at it the same way eventually.

01:39:48.240 888-727-BECK.

01:39:50.660 More coming up.

01:39:54.100 U.S. Postal Inspection Service received almost 300,000 complaints of mail theft in the year

01:40:00.260 2020, up 160% from the previous year.

01:40:05.700 We could have been guarding your packages.

01:40:07.280 If you've got adequate protection, doing things online the way, you know, we do now is the way

01:40:12.640 to go.

01:40:13.780 But that's a big if, if it's not enough to, you know, if you were just trying to monitor

01:40:17.660 your basics, it's hard enough to do on your own.

01:40:20.320 You need LifeLock.

01:41:10.400 Just for fun, let's look at somebody who you might agree with a little bit, who was out

01:41:17.340 speaking at a rally in Ohio over the weekend, Donald Trump.

01:41:20.900 Been making a lot of speeches lately.

01:41:22.260 You might think he might be preparing for something politically, but here's what he had to say

01:41:28.300 this weekend.

01:41:29.480 Stolen and now our country is being destroyed.

01:41:33.680 Country's being destroyed.

01:41:35.180 Our country's going to hell.

01:41:36.900 We've never had anything like this.

01:41:39.780 And we have a president right now, sadly, who has absolutely no idea what the hell is happening.

01:41:46.900 Yes, true.

01:41:48.320 He's shaking hands with the air.

01:41:52.160 He's walking around.

01:41:55.300 Somewhat bewildered.

01:41:56.940 I'd say it's no good.

01:41:58.480 And taking orders from the Easter Bunny.

01:42:01.080 You saw that one.

01:42:01.760 No, no, no.

01:42:03.400 You know, the Easter Bunny was a political operative.

01:42:06.900 He did a good job.

01:42:08.140 Actually, that guy, we should hire that guy.

01:42:09.960 He was very good.

01:42:11.000 He said, no, no, don't talk.

01:42:12.400 Don't talk.

01:42:13.020 Don't talk to those people.

01:42:14.260 And he's doing all of this while Putin does nothing but talk about nuclear weapons and

01:42:20.440 destroying the world.

01:42:22.480 We have our signals very crossed in our country.

01:42:25.320 We've never had a situation like this.

01:42:27.940 The choice this November is very simple.

01:42:30.380 If you want to keep America in a death spiral of crime, look at what's happening on crime with

01:42:35.980 these Democrat run cities, chaos, craziness, corruption and historic national catastrophes.

01:42:43.900 You must absolutely go out and vote for the radical Democrats.

01:42:48.620 If you want to have a country that's going to be great again, you must vote and again.

01:42:59.720 Thank you.

01:43:00.420 That's very good.

01:43:01.200 Very good.

01:43:02.260 I like that guy again and again and again.

01:43:05.300 You know, we had it great again.

01:43:07.580 And then we said, I think we should do a comma, make America great again, again.

01:43:11.980 He's great.

01:43:18.680 He's just got a way about him.

01:43:20.800 I miss him like a dad right now because the alternative has been so awful.

01:43:27.680 I never could have, I could not have imagined how bad it could be with an American president

01:43:34.060 until now.

01:43:34.920 I thought things were bad with Obama.

01:43:36.880 Seriously.

01:43:37.540 I don't remember Barack Obama shaking hands with air.

01:43:39.940 No, he never shook hands with air that I could remember.

01:43:43.000 I mean, I honestly think some of the attacks on Obama when he would make mistakes were sort

01:43:48.060 of like funny, but nonsense.

01:43:51.380 Like the 57 states thing.

01:43:52.720 It was obviously just a dumb mistake and he looked like an idiot, but it was just a silly

01:43:55.960 mistake.

01:43:56.840 You know, like he really thought 57 states were in the United States.

01:43:59.780 Joe Biden may very well believe that.

01:44:01.800 If he actually believed there were 57 states, I would not be surprised at all.

01:44:06.060 No.

01:44:06.340 At all.

01:44:07.240 And they would be like, you know what?

01:44:08.180 There are 57 states.

01:44:09.720 He was just predicting the future because we, we, we, you know, our new stance at the

01:44:17.360 Democratic Party is we need 57 states.

01:44:19.760 I mean, I would not be surprised if they tried to justify it.

01:44:21.900 Oh, they would because they, they try to justify absolutely everything he says.

01:44:27.260 It's a tough job, but they keep trying to do it.

01:44:31.560 As inflation soars to record highs, everyday items are costing more, pensions and retirement

01:44:49.680 funds are feeling the pinch too.

01:44:51.000 You're being forced to save more and more because there are some people who just can't get it

01:44:55.480 right.

01:44:55.760 And by some people, I mean the Biden administration and the federal reserve.

01:44:59.640 It's going to be a while before the change for, you know, the good, we, we, we just talked

01:45:06.000 about some changes here just a minute ago.

01:45:07.860 It's going to be a while.

01:45:08.800 This guy's going to be, or someone near him is going to be in power for several years.

01:45:12.160 What are you going to do about it?

01:45:13.600 Well, you can look at the numbers and try to understand how to make your life better,

01:45:17.300 your financial future better.

01:46:43.640 So delicious.

01:46:44.840 And, of course, still the peanut butter and the Texas sheet cake, which has always been a favorite.

01:46:51.700 But kexy.com.

01:46:52.780 If you want to get some really good cookies, well, the best ever made for mom by Mother's Day.

01:46:58.120 We had a little league thing this weekend.

01:47:00.720 You know, some of Zach's games.

01:47:03.160 And he, after the games, you know, one of the moms, they always bring snacks or whatever.

01:47:07.340 Someone brought cookies.

01:47:08.280 Mm-hmm.

01:47:08.420 And they were not.

01:47:09.460 They were not kexy cookies.

01:47:10.500 Oh, no.

01:47:11.180 And it was tragic.

01:47:12.580 It was tragic.

01:47:13.500 First of all, it was a lot of unfinished cookies.

01:47:15.960 That's sad.

01:47:16.240 I noticed.

01:47:16.800 Really?

01:47:17.160 A lot of kids not finishing their cookies.

01:47:18.820 Yeah.

01:47:19.280 That's what'll happen.

01:47:19.800 And I was like, next time we have one of these games, I need to get a dozen kexies to bring them over there.

01:47:24.640 Because that'll blow people away.

01:47:26.240 Yeah, it will.

01:47:26.800 Yeah.

01:47:27.160 Excellent.

01:47:27.640 Excellent cookies.

01:47:29.120 Speaking of blowing people away, Elon Musk tried to buy Twitter.

01:47:33.220 And apparently, he's getting a little bit closer to being able to do that.

01:47:37.120 Twitter shares jumped more than 3% on reports.

01:47:40.620 The company is nearing a deal with Elon Musk that could be announced as soon as today.

01:47:48.220 This is good for everybody.

01:47:50.060 It is.

01:47:51.160 It just is.

01:47:52.740 Musk earlier this month offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share.

01:47:56.680 And so you can't say he shortchanged everybody.

01:47:59.260 No, but what is he putting in $4.20 and everything?

01:48:02.080 I mean, come on.

01:48:04.240 It's the marijuana thing, right?

01:48:05.480 It's the marijuana thing, yeah.

01:48:06.280 Yeah, he's a fan.

01:48:07.260 He's a fan.

01:48:07.780 The social media company had been expected to decline a deal and had adopted a so-called poison pill to fend off a potential hostile takeover.

01:48:17.960 But Twitter became more receptive to the bid after Musk revealed he secured the $46.5 billion in financing.

01:48:25.260 That's pretty good.

01:48:26.920 And a lot of that's coming right out of his own pocket.

01:48:29.480 $20 billion, I think, is what he said came right out of his own pocket.

01:48:33.640 And what's amazing about him is it doesn't really make a difference.

01:48:37.380 What does he have?

01:48:38.360 $180 billion?

01:48:39.320 $280 billion.

01:48:40.240 $280.

01:48:41.000 Mm-hmm.

01:48:42.620 $280 billion.

01:48:43.780 I mean, think of how much money.

01:48:45.780 That is incredible.

01:48:46.580 I was listening to this agonizing report from the New York Times over the weekend.

01:48:51.620 I don't know why I tortured myself with it.

01:48:53.440 I was on a flight.

01:48:54.700 And it was about how many billionaires there are and how come there's so many more than there used to be and how bad this was for society.

01:49:01.620 I mean, it's incredible.

01:49:02.340 They don't even say there's another side to the argument.

01:49:05.320 It's just like, gosh, how do we stop this?

01:49:07.600 It's like this struggle.

01:49:08.420 How do we stop these billionaires from getting all this money?

01:49:10.400 It's like, why would we want to stop it?

01:49:12.080 Yeah, why?

01:49:12.500 These people employ other people.

01:49:14.360 And then they invest in other companies.

01:49:16.640 And what do I care?

01:49:17.660 Even if they don't employ anybody else.

01:49:19.540 I don't care.

01:49:20.420 Even if the money doesn't trickle down to me.

01:49:22.460 So what?

01:49:23.020 Yeah.

01:49:23.580 Their big thesis was that people no longer want to be found when they're billionaires.

01:49:26.940 Like, it used to be that people would, you know, they would angle themselves to get higher on the list of Forbes.

01:49:31.680 And I guess Bloomberg has a list now as well.

01:49:34.280 And people would try to get higher on the list because they wanted to show how great they were.

01:49:37.940 And now they're trying to hide.

01:49:39.480 First of all, I can't imagine why.

01:49:41.820 Why would you not want that incredible attention you get from being a billionaire?

01:49:46.580 Because maybe you've demonized the entire lot of them.

01:49:48.280 You're basically saying they're all evil.

01:49:49.860 So that's what this article is about.

01:49:51.500 So I don't know why they would try to hide from that sort of attention.

01:49:54.400 But that is really, you know, what they're saying now is that there's more of them.

01:49:58.200 But they're not, they don't want to be as public about it.

01:50:00.720 You know, you don't even know who these people are anymore.

01:50:02.780 We used to always know who these billionaires were.

01:50:04.460 And they're like, how?

01:50:05.400 And we've struggled to figure out how we can know more about them.

01:50:09.320 Why do you need to know more about them?

01:50:10.520 How about letting them live their own freaking lives?

01:50:13.380 Leave them alone.

01:50:14.120 Stop bothering them.

01:50:15.440 Let them do what they want to do with their own money.

01:50:17.740 You know, if they're doing something, like if they're funding international terrorism, then you can report on that if it's a crime.

01:50:26.040 But if they're buying nice boats, that's not a story.

01:50:29.180 They can buy as many boats as they want.

01:50:31.220 Leave them alone.

01:50:32.320 Yeah.

01:50:32.960 It's so weird.

01:50:34.000 What a weird, what a weird obsession.

01:50:36.220 And Elon Musk is hard to lump into this evil group.

01:50:40.560 The guy's homeless.

01:50:42.380 He doesn't even have a home.

01:50:44.960 He lives right now at friends' houses.

01:50:49.980 It's a very strange dude.

01:50:51.000 It's a weird.

01:50:51.800 He is.

01:50:52.460 He's a weird cat.

01:50:53.200 Gotta say, I like him.

01:50:54.180 I love him, but he's a weird cat.

01:50:56.080 And I am rooting for him to get control of Tesla.

01:50:59.700 So am I.

01:51:00.440 Excuse me, of Twitter.

01:51:02.080 Largely because I think, number one, he will improve it.

01:51:05.340 It will be a better service once he's running it.

01:51:08.340 I think so.

01:51:08.960 In addition, though, and I think what's been underplayed here is he sees this as a massive opportunity to make more money.

01:51:15.800 This is the most, there's so much influence.

01:51:18.100 The most easily and most free advertising for any product in the history of the United States.

01:51:22.360 And they can barely make a profit if they can make one.

01:51:25.520 It's amazing.

01:51:25.960 All he has to do is put his business argument on this thing.

01:51:28.880 What terrible business people they've been.

01:51:29.580 It's been terribly run, Twitter, from the beginning.

01:51:32.260 You know, look, for all the stuff you could say about Mark Zuckerberg, at least he's been able to make a lot of money off the thing.

01:51:37.140 Yeah.

01:51:37.440 You know, the same thing with some of these other big tech companies.

01:51:40.680 And look how influential it is.

01:51:42.980 I mean, Twitter doesn't have anywhere near the reach that Facebook does.

01:51:48.880 But by perception, Twitter is way more powerful than Facebook.

01:51:54.160 And it's because all the media people are there.

01:51:56.080 They're the ones.

01:51:56.740 There's no reason, though, you can't get people more involved.

01:52:00.100 If you weren't constantly censoring them, that would be a nice start.

01:52:03.880 You know, if every time someone said something relatively conservative, you didn't throw them off the platform, it would improve it.

01:52:10.700 Yes.

01:52:10.800 And I think I think, you know, and I think I think Musk would definitely get rid of that feature where they're where they're shutting down all conservative thought.

01:52:18.980 Yes, I agree with that.

01:52:19.940 I do think that the end game in one year from today, if if Elon Musk takes over, one of the effects that will happen is conservatives don't like Elon Musk as much because he will eventually make some decisions on that they don't like that.

01:52:33.580 We will not like, yeah, you know, but he will be he will be better overall than it is now.

01:52:37.940 But I still think I mean, he's not saying he's not going to censor stuff.

01:52:41.680 He's just basically saying, like, I don't think it should be as arbitrary.

01:52:44.620 Yeah.

01:52:45.080 Or as he did say he was going to bring back Donald Trump.

01:52:48.760 And that would be big.

01:52:49.760 That would be big.

01:52:50.520 That'd be huge.

01:52:51.180 And look, it's so obvious.

01:52:52.800 You have you have world leaders from the world that are literally killing people like they're like they're posting pictures of like they're beheaded enemies.

01:53:00.360 And they're like Twitter's like, yeah, they can stay on.

01:53:02.260 That's pretty that's pretty cool.

01:53:03.480 Check that out.

01:53:04.160 Pretty cool.

01:53:04.660 Yeah.

01:53:04.820 Like he's like, hold him by the hair.

01:53:06.600 Look at all those entrails.

01:53:08.640 That's awesome.

01:53:09.400 The blood dripping out of his neck or what used to be his neck.

01:53:14.480 And like Donald Trump.

01:53:15.740 Again, like you could criticize Donald Trump for his actions on Twitter.

01:53:18.740 He's mean.

01:53:19.560 Right.

01:53:20.060 I don't know if you know that.

01:53:21.180 He's said mean things on Twitter.

01:53:23.220 It is the most ridiculous.

01:53:24.720 It is completely indefensible to not have a guy who may very well be running for president in a very short time who it would immediately be not.

01:53:35.280 I mean, right now, because of the job Biden is doing, he would not only be the favorite for the Republican nomination, he'd be the favorite for the presidency.

01:53:42.200 I mean, now, when once he's back in the public eye every day, a lot of Democrats who say they don't like Joe Biden are going to find their love for Joe Biden.

01:53:50.780 You know, I hate to break this to everybody, but that's going to happen.

01:53:53.240 It's not going to be a cakewalk, even if it is someone as completely incoherent as Joe Biden.

01:53:59.500 It's not going to be an easy road because, as we all know, the media will do what they do.

01:54:04.880 They will be unfair to whoever the Republican nominee is.

01:54:08.000 And even if it's someone like DeSantis, the media will do everything they can to remind you that you don't, you know, that you don't like Republicans.

01:54:17.760 If you're a moderate, if you're a person who right now would say they disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance, they're going to do everything they can to bring you back in the boat.

01:54:25.220 If it's DeSantis instead of Trump, all they'll say is that DeSantis is Trump.

01:54:31.300 That's all they'll do.

01:54:32.760 Usually it's worse.

01:54:34.580 I have never seen a Republican nominee in my lifetime that the media didn't tell me was worse than the previous one.

01:54:42.020 They always say the new guy is worse than the last guy.

01:54:46.320 Even after they told you the last guy was Hitler, they will tell you the new guy.

01:54:49.700 Oh, do you remember how the media handled Ronald Reagan?

01:54:53.340 But by the time George W. Bush was nearing the end of his second term, Ronald Reagan was like JFK to them.

01:55:03.040 And they loved him.

01:55:04.380 And, oh, if we could just get back to the days of Ronald Reagan.

01:55:07.160 You hated Ronald Reagan.

01:55:09.640 It's just that you hate this particular guy even more.

01:55:13.120 So, yeah, that happens every single time.

01:55:15.520 MSNBC column, why Ron DeSantis is more dangerous than Trump.

01:55:18.680 Oh, jeez.

01:55:19.700 That's already happened then.

01:55:20.920 It's already happened.

01:55:21.800 It's already begun.

01:55:22.500 Yep.

01:55:22.840 And they will do it no matter who it is.

01:55:24.340 It doesn't matter who it is.

01:55:25.820 If you picked.

01:55:26.540 Wow.

01:55:26.720 I mean, look, they did it with Mitt Romney.

01:55:29.300 George Bush was a terrorist, they told us.

01:55:31.860 Yeah.

01:55:32.120 A legitimate.

01:55:33.160 They said he was a terrorist.

01:55:35.020 John McCain.

01:55:35.680 And a war criminal.

01:55:36.520 John McCain was worse than Bush.

01:55:38.920 Romney was worse than Bush and McCain.

01:55:41.540 Combined.

01:55:42.000 Yeah.

01:55:42.260 Probably combined.

01:55:42.620 They did it over and over and over.

01:55:44.700 Obviously, they said Trump was worse than all of them, of course.

01:55:47.340 Antichrist.

01:55:47.740 But, I mean, like, you'd think, okay, maybe Trump was a specific circumstance.

01:55:50.920 He obviously was a bombastic personality.

01:55:52.820 And, like, they're not going to try this again, are they?

01:55:54.960 Absolutely, they are.

01:55:55.780 They will tell you whoever is nominated is worse than Trump, if it's not Trump.

01:55:59.220 And then they will say, if it is Trump, they'll say 2024 Trump is worse than 2020 Trump.

01:56:06.000 They absolutely will.

01:56:08.060 They absolutely will.

01:56:08.880 There is not an exception to this rule.

01:56:10.640 It happens every single cycle, no matter who is involved.

01:56:13.840 And, look, this is what they do.

01:56:15.520 They are, most parts of the mainstream media are an arm of the Democratic Party at this point.

01:56:20.760 And this is what they do.

01:56:22.200 They treat these stories as if they are opportunities to hurt the conservative cause.

01:56:30.660 This is what they do.

01:56:31.780 You know, their big thing, this libs of TikTok story with Taylor Lorenz and the Washington Post.

01:56:38.200 Taylor Lorenz was out this weekend, and she's like, look, people are criticizing me for trying to, you know, out this person.

01:56:45.660 And what I said was, look, what if this was a foreign influence?

01:56:49.300 Like, what if this was a Russian actor trying to create chaos in the United States, right?

01:56:54.060 And you might say to yourself, okay, well, yeah, maybe it'd be worth to look into that.

01:56:58.520 I mean, once you found out it wasn't, I don't know why you run the story.

01:57:02.200 Yeah.

01:57:02.480 But in theory, right, okay.

01:57:04.140 It's a moot point because these aren't.

01:57:05.720 Right.

01:57:06.200 And you found out.

01:57:06.820 And even if you ran the story, you could have not named her.

01:57:09.100 Yeah.

01:57:09.280 And all of these things.

01:57:10.520 But it could be a foreign influence is both the reason that they say they can't, they had to cover the libs of TikTok story.

01:57:18.420 And also the reason that they couldn't cover the Hunter Biden laptop.

01:57:21.560 Could be a foreign influence.

01:57:23.100 Right.

01:57:23.360 They couldn't, they couldn't talk about that because it could be foreign influence.

01:57:25.900 But they had to talk about libs of TikTok because it could be foreign influence.

01:57:29.160 In other words, whatever point they have to make at any given moment that will help them one percentage point of the time, they will make.

01:57:35.980 Whether it makes sense as it relates to anything else they've ever said is not material.

01:57:41.400 It doesn't matter.

01:57:42.620 They don't care.

01:57:44.120 All they care about is advancing their cause and they will use any justification they can at any given moment to do it.

01:57:49.560 It's embarrassing, but it's so obviously true at this point.

01:57:54.380 Yeah.

01:57:54.480 888-727-BECK.

01:58:25.960 Like all the people in Kentucky combined don't, you have something else going on with you.

01:58:31.080 Well, at least he's been able to get rid of the pain.

01:58:59.120 Glenn Beck.

01:59:00.340 Join the conversation.

01:59:01.580 888-727-BECK.

01:59:14.760 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:59:21.760 We've been talking a little bit about Elon Musk and his takeover bid of Twitter that may resolve itself as of today.

01:59:29.580 Today or tomorrow, they think.

01:59:31.660 But some fascinating things about the way Elon Musk runs his businesses.

01:59:36.620 They seem to be fairly successful.

01:59:38.440 You notice that?

01:59:38.960 Yeah.

01:59:39.680 Yeah.

01:59:39.880 They seem to do all right.

01:59:41.620 Tesla is now worth as much as the combined market cap of the nine largest car makers in the world, including GM, Volkswagen, and Toyota.

01:59:57.060 Wow.

01:59:57.900 Yet, here's the thing, Tesla makes up less than 1% of global car sales.

02:00:06.660 It's hard to justify when you say it that way.

02:00:09.840 Yeah, it is.

02:00:11.340 But, I mean, look, Tesla is millions of miles ahead when it comes to technology on electric cars.

02:00:19.280 Right.

02:00:19.540 Even their competition, General Motors and Toyota, they're all saying all they're going to be making are electric cars by 2030.

02:00:25.900 Tesla's already doing that.

02:00:26.840 Why would we assume they're going to be better at it than Tesla is?

02:00:29.200 Right.

02:00:29.420 I mean, Tesla's already doing it.

02:00:31.000 And they're already, already, way ahead when it comes to technology.

02:00:34.480 And another thing I will say, and this one hits me personally, Pat.

02:00:38.860 Mm-hmm.

02:00:39.440 One thing Tesla's doing right now is delivering cars.

02:00:43.580 When you order a car, they decide to send you the car.

02:00:48.180 So, when you order the car-

02:00:48.940 Well, like, within five years, though?

02:00:50.420 No, no.

02:00:50.940 Oh, okay.

02:00:51.360 Like, I could go on Tesla.com right now and order a car that will be here in six to eight weeks.

02:00:56.860 As I design it.

02:00:59.060 That is not what other companies are doing.

02:01:00.920 They're able to get their hands on these chips, and there's, like, five times as many chips as everybody else needs.

02:01:06.200 And they are able to get them all.

02:01:07.740 They are able to actually get the car you ordered to the place you ordered it.

02:01:12.640 Strange.

02:01:13.040 It's an incredible new innovation in the car industry.

02:01:16.360 What a business plan.

02:01:16.840 Yeah.

02:01:17.260 That's great.

02:01:18.800 So, it's like-

02:01:19.460 Can you believe we're having this kind of discussion and this problem now?

02:01:23.060 It's amazing.

02:01:23.900 I never thought.

02:01:24.720 I never thought.

02:01:25.600 I, Pat, when, this car that I ordered, when it came out initially, I was going to order one.

02:01:31.140 And I decided not to pull the trigger on the initial batch of them because I was so, in my head, I was like, this dealership is going to be calling me 50 times a day to make this, like, to pressure me into upgrades and, you know, all this other stuff that, you know.

02:01:45.540 And I just don't want to deal with the hassle.

02:01:48.160 So, I just didn't do it, you know, because I was so concerned I would be hassled by the dealership.

02:01:53.260 Now, when I call the dealership, they're mad at me.

02:01:55.760 Stop calling.

02:01:58.180 Stop asking about your stupid car.

02:02:01.660 When it comes in, we'll give it to you.

02:02:04.020 Maybe.

02:02:05.140 And we'll probably charge you more than we're telling you we're going to charge you right now.

02:02:08.360 That's kind of what I expect.

02:02:09.740 And it's like-

02:02:10.520 Jeez.

02:02:11.180 It's a totally different world.

02:02:12.340 Can you- I mean, you remember the days of, like, the, you know, the shady car salesman being a joke, a trope in a comedy where they would always be, like, pressuring you on everything.

02:02:22.320 That is not the case anymore.

02:02:23.820 They can't get these cars here.

02:02:25.080 They might be.

02:02:25.880 They might want to be shady, but they can't because they can't sell you anything.

02:02:29.960 I guess, Matt, every time I see a commercial for a car company, what- why are you advertising right now?

02:02:35.540 Turn your advertising off.

02:02:37.000 You don't have any cars to sell people.

02:02:38.880 Well, it's so- it's so, as you can tell, sort of infuriating.

02:02:43.340 It's a little frustrating.

02:02:44.160 But Elon Musk seems to be able to navigate these waters particularly well.

02:02:48.000 What he could do for his test- for Twitter-

02:02:49.900 Oh, can you imagine?

02:02:50.940 As a money-generating machine.

02:02:52.560 Forget the free speech stuff.

02:02:53.920 I mean, I wouldn't forget it.

02:02:55.500 It's important to me.

02:02:56.720 But as a company, you've got to believe that's- that's going to be set for a real takeoff after this, if it happens.

02:03:02.760 We'll be right back.
