we're learning all new words and all new things here today hillary yes thank you so much um when
00:00:05.100
you discover something that really works uh to solve a problem in your life you grab onto that
00:00:09.320
thing and try not to let go that's how glenn and i both feel about uh rough greens and especially
00:00:15.740
you know i have president miles my dog who is 147 000 years old at this point i had to build a
00:00:21.620
little ramp down from the door because he can't step down like the four inch gap anymore because
00:00:25.760
he's he's very old and you know but here's the thing the guy uh is is is really pepped up his step
00:00:34.080
a little bit and you might not notice that if you've never seen president miles but he moves
00:00:37.420
he went from very very slow to slightly less slow and that's a big difference uh and i think you know
00:00:42.140
at least a good chunk of that is because of rough greens rough greens is a supplement they sprinkle
00:00:46.300
on the dog food and dogs love it uh they love it right out of the gate they just want to eat it
00:00:50.860
because they like it but it helps to get them all the nutrients and stuff that they need in their dog
00:00:55.300
right now you can get a free trial bag of rough greens for your dog to try out all you have to
00:00:59.980
do is pay free shipping all right so you can pay the shipping but the bag is free roughgreens.com
00:01:04.700
slash becker 833 glenn 33 it's 833 glenn 33 call today
00:01:39.300
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
00:02:13.180
poor little baby lost his voice last night and he can't talk isn't that so sad and the best part is
00:02:19.580
no matter what i say about him today he can't do anything about it so it's gonna be a fun day
00:02:24.420
uh 888-727-BEC is our number we'll go through what happened in georgia last night and
00:02:28.960
we're gonna start with american manufacturing supply chains china a lot of things we've learned
00:02:36.080
all too much about over the past couple of years we'll get into that here in just a second
00:02:40.320
we've talked about the uh the tuttle twins books for a while now and i can't tell you how much i love
00:02:50.180
these books i have two kids nine and 11 years old and the books that they often get are they're just
00:02:56.540
not they're just they're trash basically the tuttle twins books are a totally different approach
00:03:01.020
because they're teaching really important foundational lessons to your kids through fun
00:03:06.860
and amazing stories that they really love things about like how to build a business is kind of in
00:03:12.460
the middle of a book that they really love a story and they want you to read it to them over and over
00:03:16.460
again and they're learning important things the true founding of america how free markets work
00:03:21.580
how big government will always become oppressive eventually now there's only a few days left to
00:03:26.700
order these books before the shipping deadline for the holidays if you want to get them before
00:03:30.140
christmas do not wait go to tuttletwinsbeck.com get these books these just great books for your kids
00:03:36.380
it really makes a difference you need to order soon to beat the shipping deadline don't wait
00:03:44.540
so i want to bring in uh byard winthrop uh this is a really interesting conversation i can't wait to
00:03:52.780
talk to you byard thanks so much for coming in by the way thanks for having me uh you flew in from
00:03:56.380
san francisco last night did they did they make you do you have to have a passport now you don't yet
00:04:01.740
no no it's still still free flight good that's good to hear uh you run american giant uh this is
00:04:07.900
a company we've talked about for a while here on the on the show and we've you know been really
00:04:12.540
impressed i as just a selfish person just really like your hoodies uh so that's that's something
00:04:17.500
totally separate uh from what you do but you you run a company and you you manufacture clothing
00:04:25.420
and this used to be sort of a foundational part of america it was something that i don't know it's
00:04:30.700
how the country was built and more and more as we go on we hear all the time you can't do it anymore
00:04:35.900
it's impossible you can't have um you can't make your clothes and source everything in america and all
00:04:41.340
those difficult steps you can't have americans built make the clothes certainly because it's
00:04:46.300
impossible yet you you seem to do it first of all how do you do it uh and secondly why did you think
00:04:52.700
that was important yeah well you know it's easy to forget now but 40 years ago about 95 percent more
00:04:59.420
than 95 percent of the clothes that we bought were made in in uh in america which is hard to believe
00:05:04.700
today because that the numbers almost flipped yeah and and in some ways as you're sort of mentioning it
00:05:09.740
that's the trajectory of manufacturing generally that we've we have deprioritized the making of
00:05:14.220
things in the u.s over the last 40 years and and i've been involved in manufacturing consumer products
00:05:20.620
for most of my career and if you spend enough time doing that and i too sort of participated in a lot
00:05:25.420
of the offshoring stuff and you do it and and eventually i think two things begin to become really
00:05:30.540
clear one is you get really disconnected from the product you make and and that i think particularly for me
00:05:36.860
translated into um a lack of uh proximity to it stewardship about it um intimacy about the product
00:05:44.940
that we were making and that was super important to me but just as importantly you see the the the
00:05:49.980
factories and the towns that you're leaving and my point of view is that that's happened too much over
00:05:55.580
the last 40 years that that there's a lot of communities urban and rural that need good viable
00:06:00.380
dignified jobs and um we've made a decision to shift too much of that stuff overseas and and i i
00:06:05.580
i felt we could do something about it in apparel it was it was a relatively easy thing to to
00:06:11.100
reshore and to make domestically and so i decided it's something i wanted to do i didn't
00:06:14.540
i didn't know if it would be a big business or not but i knew it was the kind of business that i
00:06:17.340
wanted to run so made that decision about 10 years ago and started the company it's interesting
00:06:21.980
because i think over the last couple of years we have learned way too much about your business
00:06:25.580
i don't want to know i don't want to know that much about your business i want other people to do
00:06:29.260
that right i've got enough to worry about in my life but we've learned so much about supply chains
00:06:33.740
uh somewhat infamously i bought a car in august 2021 that just showed up a few weeks ago
00:06:41.100
right it was for over 14 months yeah waiting for a car to show up
00:06:47.020
i think one of the interesting parts about trying to manufacture something here in america is not just
00:06:52.700
what might happen to your employees it goes down the line like these this this sort of stuff affects
00:06:59.660
people all over the country in all sorts of different lines of work how do you how do you
00:07:05.020
when you when you step back how do you think about that well what's interesting about what you just
00:07:08.780
said is is that you know i think as we've become disconnected from the people and the places that
00:07:13.340
make things you really do begin to take for granted uh what all the skill and talent and complexity
00:07:20.220
that goes into the making of the things that we consume um and my feeling is that we have gotten
00:07:26.860
to a place where we order something online it arrives on our doorstep a couple of days later and and when
00:07:32.940
that breaks that highly complicated supply chain breaks uh bad things happen and and and i think that
00:07:39.580
there's there is the to me there is a real importance with reconnecting us back to how we make things and
00:07:46.060
what goes into making a car or a sweatshirt for that matter um they're complicated things they they're
00:07:50.700
and in the in the the symphony of activity that has to come together to make that happen is remarkable
00:07:56.140
and to me there's an importance of having a lot of that back and closer to consumers so they understand
00:08:01.900
what goes into making those things and the position we've gotten ourselves in with this highly
00:08:06.780
complicated really fragile supply chain that's got us dependent on you know borders and tankers and oceans and
00:08:13.420
and uh and international relationships that all get pretty difficult when things don't go precisely
00:08:18.940
as planned yeah you know we were just talking about the tunnel twins books a second ago and and uh
00:08:23.580
they have one about i pencil the famous uh economic uh essay and it it's basically the story of how a
00:08:31.100
pencil gets made and it sounds like the most boring right pencil who cares but so many people have to be
00:08:36.620
able to do so many things yeah to make that happen yeah the symphony is a really good word to describe it
00:08:42.540
yeah i mean the pencil the the paint the metal the the wood the graphite all the things that are
00:08:48.540
required to go into that right and um you know i i we've got a privilege as a company to to be around
00:08:54.300
that all the time and it does i don't know i just there's something very satisfying about you know
00:08:59.340
reconnecting with the fact that the american workforce and capability is alive and well um we've just sort
00:09:05.180
of abandoned it in a lot of ways by by just chasing you know what we call internally cheap and cheapest
00:09:11.260
means of production lowest regulations wherever we possibly can and in some ways that's the great
00:09:15.420
irony right that we as a as a country we've put in place so many fantastic principles about human
00:09:21.420
rights and worker safety and and minimum wage laws and all these things that protect workers
00:09:26.780
and celebrate workers and yet we let our largest brands skirt those and and go overseas and and
00:09:32.540
and chase the cheapest means of production with the lowest the lowest regulations and that's a that's
00:09:37.100
that balance has got to get corrected i think yeah yeah and it not only affects americans it affects
00:09:41.900
people overseas as well i mean china is a good example of this right we've seen you know from a
00:09:47.580
geopolitical sense all the effects that have gone on with china over the over the past few years uh
00:09:52.540
and the you know all you know with the covet and and all of these other things that have gone on
00:09:58.380
um but the manufacturing piece of this is really important right we we are sending almost all of our
00:10:03.500
manufacturing to china and india and they don't have standards for their workers we see how they
00:10:09.180
treat their own people is there a part that we should really be rethinking here not even just from
00:10:15.900
a global competition sense but just from a humanitarian sense i think so it kind of comes down to
00:10:21.740
you know whether we believe our values are truly universal values or not and and i think there is an
00:10:26.460
inconsistency with holding domestic manufacturing businesses to very high standards but then allowing all the
00:10:32.300
uh the work for those factories uh chase the means of production elsewhere and you know i think you
00:10:38.220
know the the the the case the case for globalization is a pretty obvious and elegant one if your
00:10:45.020
optimization is around growing shareholder value and and hitting quarterly earnings reports it's a lot
00:10:50.300
less clear if you think about constituents beyond just your your quarterly earning statements and if you
00:10:54.540
think about um brands that live through their values that uh that employ americans that transfer
00:11:00.140
good skills down throughout their their workforce so i i think there's a big conversation to have
00:11:05.020
there i think that we you know there's a fascinating thing happening now with textiles in jinjiang which
00:11:09.260
is the far uh western province in china that grows almost all the chinese cotton there's awful things
00:11:14.620
going on there with minority muslims and forced labor and um and it's just a good example of apples in
00:11:19.980
the middle of this with their with their the things that are going on with foxconn that a good example of
00:11:23.660
businesses that are trying to strike this uncomfortable balance with what they're instagramming
00:11:29.340
about um versus the way that they're actually making the things that they sell all right and
00:11:33.180
i think those you know that's that's an that is an uncomfortable place to be and i think that we've
00:11:37.500
all got a role to play right i mean consumers have a role to play brands have a role to play policy
00:11:40.940
makers have a role to play but i do think we need to come together a little bit and have
00:11:44.300
the conversation around what do we care about and to the extent that we care about it a lot do we want
00:11:49.660
to apply those standards universally both to the you know our supply chain decisions our trade
00:11:54.460
agreements are are what our consumers have access to and understand yeah i do think it's something
00:11:59.260
that we need to start to think about more thoroughly we are sort of told that this supply chain thing is
00:12:04.940
not over that we're going to be facing delays and this is just kind of our new normal this is how
00:12:10.540
we're going this is how it's going to be in america now maybe we should learn to be more like europe
00:12:14.140
and just expect delays all the time first of all i mean is that what you're seeing out there
00:12:19.580
and is that the right way to look at this should we just be accepting this new normal yeah i hope
00:12:23.260
not i mean you know it's a good it's a good that's a good pitch for american manufacturing right i mean
00:12:28.620
we've actually been lucky enough to navigate so we make most of the stuff we make are t-shirts and
00:12:33.020
sweatshirts that's the bulk of our line we make blue jeans we make flannel shirts make other things
00:12:37.100
almost all of that comes through a southeastern supply chain carolina's uh and that that area from cotton
00:12:42.300
all the way through um so for almost all of the pandemic we've been able to navigate our supply
00:12:46.700
chain stuff without a hitch and that's not just proximity and not having to deal with challenges
00:12:51.500
of overseas covet restrictions and other things it's also that we've got deep relationships with
00:12:56.140
the the supply chain that we work with and so we were able to work in real concert with our yarn
00:13:01.100
providers and our knitters and our spinners and our dyers and so it's been you know i think that's a
00:13:07.180
good example of of some of the importance of having a onshore capability across the manufacturing sector
00:13:12.620
so that you're not so exposed internationally to the the the uh the breaks that are inevitably
00:13:18.220
going to continue to come in my opinion yeah it's it's understandable and i think there's a
00:13:23.660
there's that weird line that i think we all have to walk here because you know look i i have some
00:13:27.980
sympathy for these companies when they say hey like we can't pay american workers what you know what the
00:13:34.620
new you know minimum wages even here in the united states we we can go over there we can save 80
00:13:40.220
percent people need cheap clothing and they need to be able to and i understand some of that i have
00:13:45.660
sympathy for at some level but like you can't just abandon the american way of doing things how do you
00:13:53.500
get to a point where you can pay i mean you guys pay your employees a good wage and you know we're told
00:14:00.540
that that's just not possible how do you do that and still make a company work yeah it's sort of an
00:14:05.980
incomplete conversation right so i get asked a lot about minimum wage jobs and how i think about
00:14:10.300
minimum wage and in my response to that basically is it's an incomplete question we all we all want
00:14:14.940
to pay american workers as much as we possibly can right i mean that that's the objective we all want
00:14:18.860
people to be living good dignified lives with good incomes but if at one point we are we are enacting
00:14:24.700
minimum wage laws and raising minimum wages at the same time that we're saying let's all the
00:14:29.260
manufacturers the customers of that manufacturing jobs go overseas and avoid those minimum wage jobs all
00:14:33.740
we're doing is penalizing the domestic workforce ultimately and so i think the way you do it is
00:14:38.860
that you begin to think about trading partners through the lens of of people that share our
00:14:43.100
values you know there's there's the current administration's talking a little bit about
00:14:46.220
this concept of friend shoring which is in some ways a carry forward from the trump administration about
00:14:51.100
about doing business with business with countries that share our values and not doing businesses with
00:14:54.940
countries that don't you know if you think about the american marketplace it's the most it's the biggest
00:15:00.620
most valuable marketplace on earth and yet the cost of entry to it is basically zero we allow everybody
00:15:05.420
to participate in our in our marketplace and i think that we ought to ask the question whether
00:15:08.220
that's the right thing to do and if you make it so that it is a bit more difficult to avoid what i think
00:15:14.300
are basic american values in your manufacturing choices uh you're gonna you're gonna encourage
00:15:19.900
reshoring in a way that is going to address the labor question that you're getting at i think really
00:15:23.980
effectively all right it's really interesting question you have a couple more minutes to hang out all
00:15:27.820
right uh let me take 10 seconds here all right 60 seconds here to do a a quick uh break here
00:15:32.540
lawrence wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens he says i bought my dog many different
00:15:37.100
kinds of supplements over the years she would eat a little bit of it but not very much usually she
00:15:41.340
just kind of shied away from it but when she comes to when it comes to rough greens not only does she
00:15:45.420
eat enthusiastically but she'll finish by licking the bowl clean she has more energy now and it's a treat
00:15:50.700
for her as well thank you rough greens is not a dog food it's a supplement uh developed by a
00:15:55.740
naturopathic dr dennis black that you sprinkle on the dog food chock full of vitamins minerals
00:16:01.100
probiotics antioxidants you name it and if it's healthy for your dog it's probably in rough greens

00:16:26.780
833 glenn 33 give them a call today 10 seconds station id
00:16:41.980
talking to byard winthrop uh he is the uh he's the big the big wig what's your official title
00:16:46.220
over there founder founder i guess the founder is the best one to have i think that's the best one
00:16:51.580
to have uh the of american giant a great clothing company if you don't know them if you've never had
00:16:55.980
one of them i mean look you're it's around christmas a great time to pick up something from american giant
00:17:00.220
um and i think as you kind of hear as we talk you have a different perspective on the on the country than
00:17:06.300
i think a lot of these big companies do um is it how much of this has to be because i i am we come in
00:17:13.820
here every day and we talk about issues and and things that really matter to us and what i think
00:17:20.140
a lot of people engage with is you know you have these beliefs about the the country the foundations
00:17:26.140
the the the this that this is a special place it's an exceptional place but putting that into practice
00:17:34.380
really living that life is really hard what do you say to a company that's on the fence here that's
00:17:39.340
thinking like hey maybe i'll pull some of my manufacturing back to the united states what
00:17:44.540
going you're the one who's experienced this what do you say to them well yeah so i think a couple of
00:17:50.060
sort of just sort of framing reactions to that one is for public companies it's really hard because
00:17:55.020
public companies are are in the cycle like a lot of our elected officials where they're thinking very
00:17:58.860
short term they're thinking quarter to quarter to quarter and quarter to quarter increases in in labor
00:18:04.540
rates or the cost of thread matters a ton and so it's a it's a tall ask for public companies
00:18:09.820
private companies it's a different matter and i think to the to those companies i think um
00:18:15.340
to the extent that they can start and begin to use uh american labor for small parts of
00:18:21.100
their offerings and across the manufacturing sector it has a huge impact we had the benefit in some
00:18:26.540
ways that 10 years ago when i started american giant i made a decision that we were going to make
00:18:31.260
it all domestically and that was kind of that was the framework that i lived within and so that made
00:18:36.620
every decision that followed pretty easy it became about how do we do that as well and as effectively
00:18:40.380
as we can um for companies that have that used to be domestically made like basically all apparel
00:18:44.780
companies and they now have offshore to reshore again i think there's a there's a perception that
00:18:50.860
the american workforce and manufacturing capability is is not there that's wrong there's a tremendous
00:18:56.540
amount even in textiles which has been hard hit the hardest about offshoring there's a tremendous
00:19:00.940
amount of viability within textiles and it's a big part of what that industry is lacking our customers
00:19:07.020
that commit to it and so if you had big brands that said look we're going to be here we're going to
00:19:10.380
order our line of t-shirts or our line of v-neck t-shirts some small piece but we're going to stick
00:19:15.340
to it for a while um that would be a huge boon to manufacture because these businesses need that
00:19:19.820
reliability so i think that that's what i would say is try it try it with socks try it with t-shirts
00:19:24.380
try it with something um give the supply chain a shot be a part of the solution right your customers
00:19:29.660
will give you credit for it they'll appreciate it um but it's a more complicated question for the for
00:19:33.820
the public companies i think and and and that's not to say that i think a lot of them are interested
00:19:37.820
in in being a force for good but it's just we've created a system that makes it hard to do that and
00:19:42.300
so um i think we've got to look at other ways to create space for those businesses to make better
00:19:47.100
decisions hmm um we got about a minute and a half left here what's your level of optimism
00:19:54.220
for america i'm pretty optimistic really i have i have trouble i am so so i hear what you're saying
00:20:00.220
but here's why i'm optimistic i think that there is a growing sense among just the just average
00:20:06.060
americans that are feeling frustrated with what's going on in dc i feel like they're frustrated what's
00:20:10.380
going on with tech they're frustrated with going on with a lot of the big in our case big apparel brands
00:20:14.860
that are making decisions that seem to be self-serving and they're less about the country and less about
00:20:18.460
the average americans and i think as people gather their voice and they make decisions about directing
00:20:22.060
their dollars towards things they care about they get more active during the election cycles
00:20:25.820
i think you're going to see a change and i i share some of your pessimism but it's short-term
00:20:29.100
pessimism for me it's long-term optimism i just believe in the country and i believe in
00:20:32.860
our ability when we're when we're seeing something that we think is nonsense we eventually throw it out
00:20:36.860
and start fresh and so i think it's gonna take a bit of patience but i'm feeling optimistic about it
00:20:41.180
yeah you know i i think you know when i really think about it from a grand you know grand scheme here like
00:20:47.580
i think in the grand at the end of the day it's a great country it's still a lot of the great things
00:20:51.820
happen we've you know changed the world right that's right so there's a lot to be optimistic
00:20:57.020
about but then i read the news and so i need to stop doing that no more news for me and maybe keep
00:21:01.820
some context around it you know remember that you remember history remember the civil war remember jfk
00:21:06.620
remember all the things we've been through that have been so difficult and this one seems pretty rough
00:21:10.540
but i do believe that average americans eventually get fed up enough to act and i think that's what is
00:21:15.260
required i think it's happening right now i think there's just increasing activity going on that i'm
00:21:19.500
i'm excited about and i think uh i think in a weird way covet has kind of jarred us all out of our
00:21:24.060
slumber a little bit and got us thinking about more complex issues that are relevant to americans and
00:21:28.380
i think people are getting conscious about it so yeah it's very true mark winthrop uh he's american

it's pat and stew in for glenn who's out sick today we're back here in just a second
00:22:52.140
so of course we all remember the terrible day of 9 11 we lost 2977 people and over two decades
00:22:58.860
later which seems impossible that it's been that long there are still people dying from 9 11 related
00:23:03.980
illnesses with only two states mandating k to 12 learning about it we've got a whole generation
00:23:09.100
of kids coming up who know little to nothing about one of our nation's darkest days and a day when the
00:23:14.860
courage of the american spirit really was shining the brightest that's why the tunnel to towers 9 11
00:23:20.540
institute is so important it provides educators with non-fiction resources on 9 11 for kids grades k
00:23:27.420

00:24:21.900
it's pat and stew for glenn today who's a little bit under the weather lost his voice again i hear
00:24:28.540
yes yeah and i guess for this particular industry that's that's something that's important i haven't
00:24:34.220
done the research on it yeah yeah but i guess you have to have have one huh to do shows really yes
00:24:39.740
difficult to do it without what if you did sign language yeah and i i mean that should be okay it
00:24:44.300
sounds like it would be okay i don't know why they say the experts though say that there's some
00:24:48.620
consensus on on it and you're not you know i don't know you know these scientists yeah
00:24:53.260
i just blow off whatever they say exactly it's always a good the right thing to do all right uh
00:24:58.540
we have a uh uh the election last night to to discuss yeah a little bit went about like we expected
00:25:06.460
really it did it did it seemed like it was basically around where the polls said it would be
00:25:11.660
it was basically around where the last election was rafael warnock currently with over 95 of the vote
00:25:17.980
tabulated 51.4 percent of the vote herschel walker 48.6 percent of the vote about a hundred thousand
00:25:24.860
votes separating the two candidates you know really the the runoff game is about turnout and you see
00:25:33.980
when you look at the red counties i mean you look at the counties really across the board they kind of
00:25:38.620
came out about percentage wise the same way i mean you don't see much of a change what you do see is
00:25:46.060
that the the turnout was a little bit better in in blue areas than it was in red areas
00:25:52.380
but it was really close it was a really close race the entire time democrats outspent republicans by
00:25:59.100
massive amounts massive amounts there's some it was four to one yeah four to one and spending
00:26:05.580
something like three to one and just whether you'd see an ad or not uh what's incredible is
00:26:11.020
1.4 billion dollars have been spent on just four races in the state since the beginning of 2020
00:26:20.780
one point in georgia 1.4 billion dollars i guess we're supposed to give stacy abrams the credit for
00:26:26.700
that but like you spend like that that and it's just absolutely incredible i can't imagine how sick of
00:26:34.780
politics people in georgia are right now oh yeah i was just watching was it georgia georgia georgia
00:26:40.460
tech i think and during that broadcast i don't know all of the ads were about in mostly warnock but
00:26:47.340
a few herschel ads too uh and i was sick of it just from watching that one game i can't imagine if you
00:26:54.220
live in georgia you must have been so bombarded by that well i mean i think we all have that like
00:27:00.140
part of the election cycle where we get sick of election ads that happens to everybody but if you
00:27:06.140
think about georgia they had had it twice they had it here right with a runoff they had it in
00:27:13.980
november with the main election and the whole lead up to that in purple at a purple state with
00:27:18.460
really tight elections sort of across the board with the exception maybe of governor then remember
00:27:24.300
they also had a runoff in 2021 from the 2020 election so they've had these four elections
00:27:32.620
since november 2020 every one of them has been incredibly expensive non-stop ads all the time
00:27:41.100
when does normal life come back for these poor people i guess now i guess this is the beginning
00:27:45.500
of it unfortunately their normal life has rafael warnock as their senator and it's uh it's
00:27:51.340
look it's tough really all uh all of these there were several winnable races here that republicans
00:27:57.020
did not pull off and you know herschel walker i think for being a first time candidate
00:28:04.220
did maybe better than expected you know he he was not he wasn't a disaster as far as uh you know the
00:28:10.300
debate went and you know he had some of the big scandal stories but i don't think that was what turned
00:28:14.940
this election it just it's tough to win in in a in georgia now it's no longer the republican
00:28:20.940
stronghold it once was it probably should be fairly considered a straight purple state at this point
00:28:26.700
and you have to try to you know find the right candidates for the right markets and maybe a
00:28:31.740
purple state you got to think a little bit differently as you as you roll your candidates
00:28:36.700
out there but you know walker i think you know lucky i think he can be proud of of his efforts here
00:28:42.540
it's just a it's just a really devastating thing that a state like georgia would have such a radical
00:28:48.540
like rafael warnock sure is yeah they don't deserve that america doesn't deserve that right but here he
00:28:55.020
is uh he's in and this time it's for six years instead of two yeah so that hurts because i think a
00:29:01.740
lot of people were like ah i mean look it's 50 50 anyway at the worst this is this is an argument as
00:29:08.700
to why maybe the republicans didn't win here i think if the senate if the control of the senate
00:29:15.100
stood on georgia let's say they would have picked off another one of these races and it was only 49
00:29:20.300
seats for democrats they needed the 50th i think war uh walker may have won because i think there's a
00:29:26.860
there's an attitude from republicans was like well we already lost the senate what's the point and of
00:29:31.660
course the point is the starting uh starting line for every election here for the next two cycles
00:29:37.660
you know we talked about this when it comes to the when it came to the 2022 election the starting
00:29:43.420
line in the senate was 36 29 with democrats in the lead those are all the seats that were not up for
00:29:49.100
election so they started with a seven seat lead and of course with kamala harris as the vice president
00:29:56.300
it's really an eight seat lead uh seat lead so you you had they had a lot of ground to pick up to try
00:30:03.180
to take control the senate's why it was so difficult so now we go into the 2024 campaign this seat that
00:30:08.700
could have been one that the republicans had already banked that was going to be in that same starting
00:30:13.020
line calculation unfortunately is now gone and the same thing with all these other close races like
00:30:18.300
you know arizona and pennsylvania and all these races that we've been talking about that the republicans
00:30:24.220
wound up losing that's where it really hurts the 51 seat majority thing will help with committees
00:30:30.780
it will help give them a little breathing room around you know joe manchin or kirsten cinema in a
00:30:35.820
in a particular vote maybe it's not all that important though because the republicans got the house they
00:30:41.420
can block a lot of those 50 seat bills yeah but when it comes to judicial nominees that's going to be
00:30:46.940
big yeah that's going to be a big one and it was why they really needed to win i'm really worried
00:30:51.100
about you know the packing of the supreme court like that would be bad that would be that would be
00:30:56.300
catastrophic that would be bad i'm kind of hoping they don't get around to that yeah i hope they
00:31:01.980
don't the filibuster thing they theoretically still don't have the votes for because they needed it
00:31:06.700
wasn't a one seat did they eliminate the filibuster yeah right they could good uh they don't currently
00:31:12.460
have the votes for it but you know i always say this to people if you are sitting back and saying you
00:31:18.540
know what joe manchin will save us yeah you are really playing with fire because joe manchin will
00:31:25.660
not save you no he there were two bills two bills that the the democrats uh democrats wanted to get
00:31:31.740
through with 50 votes and we heard a lot of whining we heard a lot of op-eds we heard a lot of comments
00:31:37.420
from people like joe manchin oh inflation's too high we just can't spend anymore and i don't know i guess
00:31:44.540
there's some people who are listening in west virginia know these people in west virginia who
00:31:49.500
some for some reason fall for this nonsense over and over again i doubt there's many in this audience
00:31:54.700
that do it but they probably know people who are conservative and say well joe manchin's pushing back
00:32:00.540
he's the democrat that cares he's the guy that's going to care about inflation and the economy and it's
00:32:05.580
like what why wound up happening they still passed two bills they still got it done yep they didn't
00:32:14.540
care about inflation at all we still all had to pay the price for that yes some of the bills were
00:32:20.060
slightly smaller than maybe they would have been without his whining and constant now op-eds and all
00:32:25.740
the credit he takes for being a maverick maybe we saved a couple of dollars really is that really is
00:32:32.860
is there any any real value in that there's no reason west virginia has a democratic senator
00:32:41.340
that is right absolutely ridiculous it is ridiculous it's it's as bad as alaska having a very very uh
00:32:52.220
irritating republican uh so and they now have a democratic congresswoman oh yeah right so it's right
00:33:00.540
equally but i mean i think even alaska though has i don't know there's some there's there's
00:33:06.620
something in the water in some places in alaska it's probably from fracking probably it's probably
00:33:12.620
fracking's fault yeah but like they kind of bend their own way at times you know and west virginia
00:33:17.980
canon as well they've they've elected far too many democrats over the years with this sort of like
00:33:22.500
reputational our democrats are different thing but like donald trump won west virginia by 50 points
00:33:29.180
like there's there's no reason to have a democratic senator in that state and by the way just a quick
00:33:38.740
reminder we can rectify that situation in 2024 that can happen this does not have to be reality
00:33:45.260
in fact this would be one you'd really expect republicans to be able to pick up if they don't
00:33:50.880
completely screw it up but that was the talk about this election how many times did we talk pat over the
00:33:55.480
over the past couple of years republicans have a great opportunity here blah blah blah blah if
00:34:00.220
they don't screw it up which they managed to do virtually every time yes here we are and they
00:34:06.580
did it again but i mean at least we got the house it's or they got the house and that's one of the
00:34:15.200
things that's really irritating me right now about the coverage of the election is how democrats are
00:34:20.540
acting as if they just went to 17 and 0 and won the super bowl by 45 points yeah guys relax yeah you
00:34:27.720
had control of the government and now you don't right that is not i understand you think you
00:34:34.600
outperformed everybody's expectations in the last two weeks and i'll grant you that that is what
00:34:39.360
occurred you underperformed everybody's expectations from the summer so i don't know why you're that
00:34:44.420
thrilled about it but okay you you did win a couple seats that were that were border they won a lot of
00:34:50.040
close races they the house is closer than people expected there's something to take from that right
00:34:56.020
you might be encouraged by been happy about it but they lost the house yeah they had unified control
00:35:01.600
of the government and nancy pelosi said she expected she completely expected to maintain control in the
00:35:06.780
house she did and you didn't and now she's gone so that's a loss that's a loss and like look a 51
00:35:13.320
seat majority is not something that republic democrats have bragged about this century or
00:35:19.480
even last century right like this they used they were used to getting remembered barack obama got
00:35:24.820
obamacare through with 60 senators which eventually fell to 59 so they had to pass they had to you know
00:35:32.920
pole vault right the bill through uh they lost a seat in massachusetts that bill was so popular but you
00:35:39.960
know scott brown came in after that but they had 60 seats they didn't have to listen at all
00:35:44.640
now they're bragging about 51 they're bragging about losing the house bragging about losing
00:35:52.540
i mean this is like the beto o'rourke approach to politics and acting as if it was a catastrophe
00:35:58.920
right for republicans it wasn't it was we have to step back and say that's true look it's it wasn't
00:36:04.740
that bad and here's the one real positive i think you know i think it was van jones of all people who
00:36:10.980
made this point last night and and he's getting beat up by the left over it but he's right the
00:36:17.040
republicans are going to look hopefully at themselves and at least take a moment to say what did we do
00:36:20.720
wrong how did this get screwed up what do we need to do next time what candidates can we recruit
00:36:26.420
holy crap what we need to do more we've gone into 2024 republicans have the advantage in 2024 in the
00:36:32.060
senate and they can pick up seats democrats seem to be in the state where like wow this all worked
00:36:36.920
the crt thing worked wow you know hey let's just keep uh you know grooming kids into all sorts of
00:36:43.200
weird sexual behavior in middle school that's that's people seem to like it and they're not going to
00:36:48.420
examine their approach at all true and that's a really good thing for republicans to the advantage
00:36:54.620
of republicans yeah but we'll see we'll see again they could easily screw it all up oh yeah they're
00:36:59.940

00:38:19.000
as pat and stew for glenn today uh 888-727-BECK so you guys uh you and glenn talked about the
00:38:40.340
brunson adams supreme court case yesterday a little bit talked about it a little bit yesterday yeah a lot
00:38:46.700
of people are very excited about it because um they believe that since congress didn't do their
00:38:54.320
job in investigating the 2020 election at least this is my understanding of it so they didn't they
00:39:00.440
didn't fulfill their oath so 377 representatives could be removed from office including uh the
00:39:10.160
president of the united states and the vice president of the united states that kind of seems unlikely to
00:39:16.620
me seems like a bit of a long shot and it doesn't seem like there's a mechanism to do that really
00:39:22.840
yeah and you know a lawsuit a lot of hurdles to get over here honestly i said to glenn i was like you
00:39:27.940
know like it's interesting because it is kind of like burning up the online world right now talk about
00:39:32.280
this it is you know and so it's interesting to kind of get familiar with it if the supreme court picks
00:39:37.680
it up then you're going to have a deeper conversation i don't know that you need to go crazy about talking
00:39:42.040
about it at this exact moment like if once once we hear they already had picked it up once we hear
00:39:46.620
oral arguments and then we can kind of like you know they'll you can believe it's a little bit
00:39:52.060
further along i will say you know there's a lot of hurdles right like it's based on this idea that
00:39:57.640
if there's a certain amount of uh desire or uh claim of um of a threat to the constitution that
00:40:08.600
you have to investigate it but there's no clear hurdle as to what that amount would be uh you know
00:40:15.420
i guess the idea is that some some voters or some representatives voted for an investigation
00:40:20.720
so therefore that's enough interest of course like you know then you could have this happening all the
00:40:26.060
time right like every democrat could vote you know you could get 50 democrats to come together to vote
00:40:30.000
for some crazy investigation and and we'd have to to do this each time and the idea that like even if
00:40:35.700
all of there's several other hurdles we don't need to get into the whole thing uh several other very
00:40:40.260
difficult hurdles for for any of this to actually be reality but even if it was like would it be a good
00:40:45.780
idea like think of the the concept of throwing out all these people a lot of them we can't stand so
00:40:52.220
like we're all like yeah throw the bumps out but like the supreme court is kind of in our favor right
00:40:56.900
now uh-huh which is great one when it's not how does this look when when katanji brown jackson
00:41:04.800
is like the six out of the nine justices how does that feel then like there i mean it just doesn't feel
00:41:12.840
like a good road for us to go down uh but that's that's the long and the short of it interesting though
00:41:19.740
interesting i'm surprised that they haven't been thrown out just based on standing that's what they
00:41:24.380
usually do yeah the glenn back program we had a great conversation uh just a little while ago with
00:41:28.960
uh byard winthrop he's the uh the head founder of american giant and you know look not everything
00:41:34.220
made in america really is made in america if you care about that it's really frustrating because it's
00:41:39.980
just you know one of the many reasons why you can't trust a lot of these companies and one of the
00:41:44.720
reasons why we do partner with american giant we really like them i have one of their hoodies it's just
00:41:48.820
awesome it's a great great hoodie it's just incredible it is they think they say what do
00:41:54.000
they say like america's favorite hoodie or you're just going to be it really is my favorite hoodie i
00:41:57.200
throw the thing on all the time it's just fantastic and it looks nice if you're going out somewhere but
00:42:02.120
also it is just super comfortable uh so it's like a great vibe uh and i think you'll really love it
00:42:07.760

janet wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens she says our little rescue girl loves rough
00:44:08.140
greens i feel i fill her kibble bowl and if there's no rough greens in it she sniffs and then goes to
00:44:12.980
the cupboard and just waits until i add it only then will she eat smart girl she's a lot more energetic
00:44:17.780
and curious now than she was before and she's a lot more playful and her allergies have subdued have
00:44:23.080
subsided a lot thank you so much rough greens listen if you have a dog and you want to give them the
00:44:27.980
best life they can possibly have cable food just doesn't cut it unfortunately it's been sterilized
00:44:33.420
so it can have a long shelf life so all the good stuff is sort of cooked out there's no way that
00:44:38.560
you're going to get all the good stuff your dog needs the folks at rough greens are so confident
00:44:42.060

00:45:06.600
feeling well hopefully he'll be back tomorrow uh in the meantime he's got his rough greens in
00:45:11.620
yeah apparently he's not taking it that's right yeah yeah because you get all the probiotics
00:45:15.940
yeah antioxidants and all that i don't know why he's not he's just not eating enough apparently
00:45:20.080
when it comes to the rough greens we'll get him his nutrients so hopefully we'll be back tomorrow
00:45:23.760
gotta fix that uh amidst all the rightful focus on government censorship and election interference
00:45:29.840
another big story is brewing at the supreme court uh the justices heard oral arguments the other day
00:45:35.980
uh in a case centering on web uh web designer who has religious objections to making websites for
00:45:43.300
same-sex couples this comes up over and over again in colorado because essentially they're they're trying
00:45:51.040
to persecute christians for their beliefs and uh this is all about an agenda not about actually
00:45:57.640
designing a website of course because there's a million people you can turn to and they'll design
00:46:03.400
your website no problem at all is it controversial to say to step back a minute from even that point
00:46:10.980
and say you don't need a website for your wedding i know you think you do you don't this is i know it
00:46:20.180
doesn't matter if you're gay or straight uh you don't need what a website for your wedding i could get
00:46:27.060
married yes and in fact i did right did you have a website in 1985 i did not have a website really
00:46:35.120
yeah isn't that weird yeah that is a little weird in 85 i think it was much more normal to have
00:46:40.080
websites for your wedding but now it just seems a little bit over look post some pictures on your
00:46:45.020
facebook page or whatever i got you know you got instagram throw them on there you don't need
00:46:49.620
you don't that's probably not the point they're making at the supreme court but i just want people
00:46:54.000
to know they don't they don't need to a website for their wedding okay you should have told these
00:46:58.700
guys that that a long time we're solved the whole thing yeah and we we just wouldn't have this issue
00:47:03.420
with the supreme court right now right like and i i do think there is part of that point that is
00:47:09.140
really germane to this case yeah which is you can make an argument like you need food right so if you
00:47:16.040
want to have these conversations about a lunch counter we've obviously talked about this before in the
00:47:21.720
past shouldn't be able to say well i'm not going to serve eggs to you because you're black and we
00:47:26.840
all understand that is a completely ridiculous you know position no no place should ever do that
00:47:32.200
but like when we're talking about a a service that honestly can you even make an argument that you need
00:47:40.600
it i can't i can't come up with an argument that it's a necessary like it should to me there's a
00:47:47.660
better argument to go to the supreme court and say we shouldn't allow people to make wedding websites
00:47:52.940
like i think we i think we should delete the entire industry if there is one so like i mean it is though
00:47:59.460
i think important when you talk about this when you're talking about art when you're talking about
00:48:03.760
something like a cupcake when you're talking about a a wedding cake when you're talking about a wedding
00:48:10.240
venue these are not life or death matters this is not whether you can get water into your home
00:48:18.040
right like these are totally different things and there should be a completely different standard for
00:48:23.180
them and by the way with the cake maker um jack phillips yeah he's been persecuted almost out of
00:48:29.360
business since what i don't know it's been probably 10 years it's been a long time uh first of all he had
00:48:35.720
the same sex couple that wanted the cake and and he didn't want to make it and they tried to force him
00:48:40.760
to and then they came along and and it was another one it was a uh i don't know a trans issue i think
00:48:46.360
the second time and they knew full well that the guy had these religious convictions but they
00:48:50.500
specifically went after him targeted him yeah they targeted him and they're just persecuting him now
00:48:55.680
and and that's the that's the part of this it's the process is the punishment and the sad thing is
00:49:01.240
the supreme court has not yet made a broad enough ruling that will prevent the religious persecution
00:49:08.220
of this poor guy yeah we were just talking off the air and i was like we know i'm pretty confident
00:49:12.200
in this because roberts it's he's terrible but the actually in this one it's one of his better issues
00:49:17.980
i think that is true however he is responsible as well for making these rulings so narrow
00:49:24.660
stop it the jack phillips thing is a great example of that phillips won yeah he won he won but it was
00:49:31.060
it should be over already it was not enough but they made it super narrow so that the they could
00:49:35.880
continue to bring these cases forward and continue to ruin people's businesses and lives over and over
00:49:42.380
and over and over again and that's what's going on now in the supreme court with this woman who wants
00:49:47.080
to design wedding websites for some unknown reason uh you know like it's just one of these things where
00:49:52.900
they are same situation they know obviously that what they're doing they're targeting someone with
00:50:00.240
with christian values that they know won't want to do this so they can harass them and harass them
00:50:05.180
and harass them and ruin their lives because even if she wins her life is largely destroyed her
00:50:10.000
business is is on the edge um if it's not completely destroyed and even if the even if the end result is
00:50:18.040
not a good one for the left they get to you know run someone through the ringer and this though i think
00:50:24.400
is going to be the time i hope where they come with a really broad ruling that shows that this stuff is
00:50:29.020
ridiculous and should not continue these laws should be thrown out and it's like we're all against
00:50:33.540
discrimination i'm against a company who would say you know who would discriminate against someone and
00:50:38.480
not sell them something but like part of this is just recognizing that sometimes the country sort of
00:50:43.340
sucks it's a great country yeah sometimes people don't do the things you want them to do i know it's
00:50:47.400
surprising to hear it is shocking it's shocking a lot of people are shocked by it and colorado has a law
00:50:54.020
now that protects same-sex couples or trans people uh because of their status what isn't protected
00:51:02.820
according to the lawyers for colorado for the state of colorado is religious liberty because it it doesn't
00:51:09.820
have status wait what i mean you're going against the u.s constitution there yeah so i think this time
00:51:18.380
they really need to rule on the merits of the constitution and the first amendment and and end
00:51:25.500
this torment make this religious people shoot this down it's it's it's gotta stop you know the
00:51:31.360
because there's really double protection here you can't compel someone to say something that they
00:51:37.920
don't believe you can't compel you know i was thinking about this example you know with the kanye west
00:51:42.920
thing that's that's going on right now let's say kanye west gets to the point in his career very
00:51:47.240
maybe very very soon where his entire business is customizing raps for birthday parties and events
00:51:53.740
like you go to kanye's uh birthday raps.com and kanye will work your name into a rap because given
00:52:02.120
his career arc that's probably where this ends up pretty soon and let's just say that's going on
00:52:07.360
and then a jewish person comes to him and says hey can you do my bar mitzvah you know can you give
00:52:13.600
me a song for that should kanye west have to do that we all agree that his his views are terrible
00:52:19.760
on this and and and abhorrent no but you should be able to pick and choose what you do in your
00:52:24.860
business you shouldn't have to say something praising jewish ceremony let right he the free
00:52:30.280
market work that out exactly and you know what you go to somebody else right and everyone realizes
00:52:35.580
if they there's you could go on what's that site uh fiverr.com which has a you know like a bunch of
00:52:42.840
people who are independent doing things all around the world uh you know for uh as little as five
00:52:48.660
dollars that's how they started and so you could have them build you a website they you can get
00:52:52.680
someone to voice over your podcast you can get someone to design you know to do audio editing for
00:52:58.240
you video editing whatever it is all this is available to everybody they will never ask a question about
00:53:04.700
your uh your marriage situation they won't take a stance there's thousands to choose from and that's
00:53:12.340
just one website you go to a bunch of other freelancer sites you can go to another local
00:53:16.720
everyone knows this has nothing to do with the website it's about targeting religious views for
00:53:23.840
destruction that's what it is how do we destroy people's closely held views on religion and you know
00:53:32.220
you don't even have to agree with those views as i said with kanye west he is he is protected by the
00:53:39.140
constitution to not have to to issue compelled speech you can't force him to say something he
00:53:46.720
doesn't agree with you can you can you know abandon you can make him uh just you can destroy his career
00:53:52.500
by not you know frequenting his business you can complain about it loudly you can say all these things
00:53:58.040
about kanye west that are really bad you can use your freedom of speech to to criticize him but you
00:54:03.580
can't make him say he hearts jews because he doesn't and maybe he says he does i guess on that one he does
00:54:11.560
say i love the jews and i love the nazis not not a great point but the point is uh that you you can't
00:54:19.020
even there right pat that is not necessarily a religious view though i maybe there he believes it is
00:54:25.380
but like even if you're just like you know what i you shouldn't have to be able to go to a
00:54:29.440
conservative and force them to say that they like liberals the same way the opposite side that's
00:54:36.040
nothing to do with religion and you're protected by the constitution there add on the religious aspect
00:54:42.260
which is also protected by the constitution two separate areas of the constitution that specifically
00:54:51.240
protect this sort of behavior and this is what the 10th time we've gone through this charade
00:54:55.200
at least it's insane at least uh and you know it's just the just the practical application of
00:55:05.840
uh the free market should deal with this if if you don't want to serve somebody in your restaurant
00:55:12.460
you shouldn't have to and it used to be you didn't have to uh the signs that used to say no shirt no
00:55:19.980
shoes no service okay i and then a lot of times underneath parenthetically it was like we reserve
00:55:26.840
the right to refuse service to anybody yeah well you certainly can't do that now right you can't
00:55:32.040
refuse service to anybody um apparently but if you did let's say you just you had a thing where no
00:55:41.040
minority could come and eat at your restaurant well let the free market run them out of business by
00:55:47.040
you know when that gets around in the community i'm guessing there's going to be a lot of people
00:55:51.460
who object to that and don't go frequent that restaurant that's how you take care of it right
00:55:58.320
if you're a libertarian that's how you take care of it and that's how just let the market work and
00:56:03.240
you don't need to be a libertarian that's just american yeah it is right you know and and but it's not
00:56:07.540
anymore not not they want to change that they want to change the foundations of our country but
00:56:11.260
those those foundations exist that's the brilliance of capitalism yep it solved these problems this all
00:56:17.460
started you know a million years ago almost um with tribes that were trying to figure out how to not
00:56:25.300
kill each other every time they needed something if one tribe had one resource and the other tribe
00:56:31.940
didn't they needed to get that resource and the way human beings dealt with that problem for a long
00:56:39.640
long time was to attack they would take their weapons and they would go attack the other tribe and take
00:56:46.580
the stuff they needed that's how it worked for a long time right and then trade bubbled up and trade
00:56:54.080
became uh the the way that both parties could get what they wanted one party had one resource one party
00:57:00.120
had the other they would swap and everybody was happy and then currency came along to make that
00:57:07.120
exchange much much more smooth and capitalism bloomed from there and it created a situation i mean you
00:57:14.140
can really argue that the basis of capitalism why it exists completely is for you to do business with
00:57:20.640
people you don't like everyone can do business with their friends that's easy right it's easy to be
00:57:27.280
able to find your political allies and the people you hang out with you could trade something that you
00:57:33.200
have to a relative fairly easily the reason why capitalism is exists is so you can go into a
00:57:40.220
restaurant and you have some hardcore biden supporter who's behind the grill who makes you
00:57:45.460
a good meal anyway that's the entire system it's the brilliance of the system and it we are now at the
00:57:53.720
point where the left this shouldn't surprise anybody the left is trying to overturn that they're trying to
00:57:59.000
make it no like no actually you have to agree with all my political viewpoints for you to even have
00:58:02.940
a business they're trying to fundamentally chip away at what built this country that should surprise none
00:58:09.620
of us but it is going on all the time and if they if we allow this to continue especially when you're
00:58:17.860
attacking religion it's another fundamental value here yeah multiple multiple pillars of this country
00:58:24.620
under attack at the same time it's a really important case at the supreme court right now

it's pat and stew for glenn triple a 727 b e c k now we come to a real issue that
00:59:59.840
needs to be dealt with and and really this is a long time coming uh shark week
01:00:04.940
it lacks diversity as you know it's almost all about sharks i've noticed yeah but the people who
01:00:12.260
talk about the sharks yeah the there's a lack of diversity there too in addition to not talking
01:00:18.960
about anything but sharks during shark week you know like they're they're not devoting any time
01:00:23.700
to blowfish it's it's really uh it's a problem there's almost trouble no duck-billed platypus
01:00:30.160
almost none representation right shark week which is a real problem for me but not only that
01:00:35.600
apparently men are overrepresented are they they're usually white and a lot of times get this
01:00:43.340
and this is maybe the most egregious okay they're named mike there's too many mics who are shark
01:00:50.400
experts during shark week and i think it's time discovery did something about that what too many
01:00:57.300
mics yes yes is that serious that's serious they're really complaining that too many people
01:01:03.560
are named to mike yes yes they are why do you you don't see the problem with that no i do not see
01:01:11.120
the problem in fact it's completely immaterial is the coverage good do they talk about sharks i mean
01:01:16.220
i would say like i can understand you not liking the idea that too many of your race or gender would
01:01:22.300
be represented on shark week because my guess is that a lot of people are eaten like it's like if
01:01:27.720
you're they're telling stories of people who are attacked by sharks yeah perhaps you don't want to be
01:01:33.300
represented all that well in that particular programming but apparently this is a big issue
01:01:37.980
well the woman who did the big study uh lisa white knack oh my gosh ignoring her own
01:01:45.200
problematic name there uh loved sharks as a kid and uh apparently watch shark week religiously and uh
01:01:56.340
but then she did this study that found out that lots of the scientists that talk about the sharks
01:02:02.300
are white and they're men and they're named mike yeah that's a you know i will say it's too many
01:02:11.720
mikes of the three claims there uh-huh the one that is most believable to me is mike i feel like
01:02:17.840
there probably are a lot of people named mike a lot of people uh who are named mike happen to get into
01:02:23.180
the um the shark industry industry yes being an expert on sharks why would this matter i i honestly don't
01:02:33.560
know i do not know now we've been told for a million years that stem uh you know stem projects and
01:02:41.380
jobs and science and math and have been overrepresented by men so in theory i assume all those problems
01:02:49.820
aren't sorted out they're still complaining about it constantly uh so i would assume that probably
01:02:53.920
there's a more shark experts and certainly i have found in my general research pat over my lifetime that
01:03:01.520
it's usually dudes that are interested in sharks it does seem like yeah most women aren't usually
01:03:08.220
life is a good example of a woman who is not interested in shark week whatsoever women are
01:03:13.400
necessary i feel like watching a giant animal rip the flesh of another uh being apart is more of a
01:03:21.260
male concern like seems like it yeah women tend to like things more like you know i don't know hallmark
01:03:27.940
movies right like i just don't think that you know sharks are really on the interest set of of most
01:03:34.980
women but when the team examined hundreds of shark week episodes that aired between 1988 and 2020
01:03:42.200
um their research claims so that the programming emphasized negative messages about sharks there's
01:03:49.120
another issue lacked useful messaging about shark conservation and overwhelmingly featured white men
01:03:56.160
named mike negative messages about sharks this can't be real lou check it does that say babylon b on
01:04:06.220
the piece of washington post okay well actually babylon b is more credible yes absolutely

01:05:37.660
podcast pat gray stupid gear for glenn 888-727-BECK uh joe biden went to arizona before he left
01:05:54.880
he was actually asked a question by peter doocy that uh made a lot of sense uh doocy asked him
01:06:02.180
if you're going to the if you're going to a border state why don't you go to the border
01:06:21.000
really are there more important things i mean i guess are there abortion is the only other thing
01:06:27.020
i can think of that's really more important and he's on the wrong side of that too but the border's
01:06:32.480
pretty important the border is where people are pouring across to the tune of 2.3 million last
01:06:39.180
fiscal year that's just the ones that we encountered how many more were not encountered in places where
01:06:45.820
the border agents aren't and they don't see you and they don't have any contact with you hundreds of
01:06:51.520
thousands if not millions more i'll bet it was three million three and a half million is probably the
01:06:56.240
actual figure on that i mean they don't we don't have any idea how many actual people sneaked across
01:07:02.820
our border last year oh drugs with uh human trafficking i i mean and that's not important to this guy
01:07:11.100
clearly not important he doesn't care doesn't care at all uh but he here's what he said uh last year
01:07:19.660
about the border in october october do you have to visit the southern border i've been there before
01:07:25.160
and i haven't i mean i know it well i guess i should go down but the but the whole point of it is i
01:07:31.960
haven't had a whole hell of a lot of time to get down yeah i've been spending time going around looking
01:07:37.000
at the 900 billion dollars worth of damage done by uh by hurricanes and floods and and weather and
01:07:45.000
traveling around the world but uh i plan on now my wife jill has been down she's been on
01:07:51.080
both sides of the river she's seen the circumstances both sides of the river she's looked into those
01:07:56.420
places you notice you're not seeing a lot of pictures of kids lying on top of one another with uh
01:08:01.740
you know with with with blank with uh with uh um you know uh looks like tarps on top of them
01:08:08.200
i mean does he know anything about anything no is there any topic he has any knowledge on about
01:08:16.360
at all is there any moment where he's like you know here's a well-considered sober opinion about
01:08:22.880
an issue that's well informed does that ever occur why would you think that anybody cares that jill
01:08:29.140
has been there who cares she's not an elected official she can't do anything about this right
01:08:33.740
uh why would i care if your wife has been to the border or not that doesn't help me that really
01:08:41.880
doesn't um my second cousin twice removed steve lives in san diego and he's seen the border
01:08:53.580
and he looked at it one time and he saw somebody come across so there's that it's so weird really
01:09:03.640
weird you know i will say really weird look do i actually care if joe biden goes to the border
01:09:08.540
no because he would probably screw it up uh he would whatever came out of that would be negative
01:09:13.840
but i like the fact that it makes him squirm though that's what i like about this i don't really need
01:09:19.080
him there yeah i don't really need him at the border he's not going to do anything positive he's
01:09:23.520
going to hide anything negative that's going on i don't know if there's any real reason for him to go
01:09:28.420
there it just shows the lack of interest yeah he doesn't care he doesn't care and you know look
01:09:33.420
again this is a message that's been sent by the country to joe biden is that he doesn't have to
01:09:37.600
care right and debbie dingle another which just seems like a fake name debbie dingle it does seem
01:09:43.840
like you made that up did you make that up i did not okay here's debbie dingle is a real person
01:09:49.900
a real person a real representative talking about biden and the border she doesn't care either
01:09:55.600
would you like to see him visit the border i don't care if he visits the border or not that doesn't
01:10:01.280
he doesn't need to visit the border to know we've got a problem he's got people that report to him
01:10:05.460
every day about what the problem is and sometimes we fixate on these little issues do you think the
01:10:11.220
president doesn't know we got a problem at the border and what the issues are right but not
01:10:16.320
necessary to see it firsthand that's a little issue i i think he knows it's got to be addressed he's
01:10:23.420
gotten the reports he's seen the photos so oh he saw some photos i mean i at some point he may or may not
01:10:29.340
go but i think he knows what's got to get fixed and you've seen him begin that process no one would
01:10:35.300
care if he went to the border if he was actually dealing with the border yeah right like i as i
01:10:39.580
actually care if he goes the point is that he does he's he is not apparently aware that there's a
01:10:46.460
problem there or if he he thinks the problem there is that there's too many border guards on horses
01:10:51.060
whipping people that's what he thinks the problem is that's the issue so i can understand why you'd want
01:10:56.880
him to go because maybe he'd be if you have this really optimistic view of joe biden maybe you'd
01:11:01.980
think wow he's going to be awakened by these you know these images i don't just it's just something
01:11:08.800
to disregard he's not going to be he would just but he's not admitting that there's a problem he's
01:11:13.760
not acknowledging it he's not dealing with it that's why people are asking about it right and he's
01:11:19.160
got more important things to do and he explained that while he was in arizona yesterday um here's what
01:11:24.320
he's doing uh in arizona and today tsmc has announced a second major investment we'll construct
01:11:32.260
a second fab here in phoenix to build chips three nano chips the three nano chip chips and a three
01:11:40.360
nano and you know what i'm saying no there you go that's no no no i don't know oh my gosh i mean
01:11:48.580
and that's funny to the to the audience uh here's the leader of the free world no doesn't have any
01:11:54.560
idea what he's talking about nano nano chip three chips three and then he takes off the s because then
01:12:02.420
he decides three isn't plural or something three chip i don't know what he's a master class
01:12:10.340
no one does dementia yes it's a master class in dementia like seriously if you were at some
01:12:18.880
institute and trying to teach young and up-and-coming medical professionals about
01:12:24.700
about these sort of uh terrible ailments and say hey here's the here's one of these if you guys want
01:12:31.420
to see what dementia looks like in the mid stages uh here it is there it is the guy here's him trying
01:12:37.820
to say nano chips here's the thing that happens when the medication starts to wear off because this is
01:12:45.280
what we see when he's i don't know out past 11 o'clock in the morning he starts to degrade he starts to
01:12:55.080
disintegrate and he doesn't know what he's talking about he can't read some of the time he certainly
01:13:01.400
can't do numbers and he is just lost and that's why when he goes to a podium and he's at a
01:13:09.300
microphone and if jill's not standing right there to lead him off the stage he has no idea where to
01:13:16.040
go what to do that's why he's always turning around and shaking hands with the air or looking around like
01:13:22.320
i don't where do i go i don't know what to do now where's my sister jill i mean
01:13:31.320
he doesn't even know i mean he's described jill as his sister so that's how out of it he
01:13:36.680
yeah occasionally is on studios america which is my show on the blaze you can check it out
01:13:42.040
subscribe to the podcast what time would i see that on blaze tv at 8 p.m eastern 8 p.m eastern
01:13:47.680
blaze tv.com slash glenn seven o'clock my time if i'm not mistaken that's true yes good job
01:13:52.980
good uh good conversion skills on the fly too um but on that show we we do these little like
01:13:59.340
we know veep thoughts is one of them where we do this like a little incoherent moments from kamala
01:14:03.780
harris uh and now veep thoughts and we feature her words uh we came up with we were like you know you
01:14:09.700
see these gaffes from from biden and we're like we should do one on the biden thing you know kind of
01:14:14.400
hail to the gaff sort of uh sort of moment and we had these little interludes where it's like you know
01:14:19.980
and now the president of the united states and we just let him say his piece and this has been the
01:14:24.260
president of the united states like they were super simple but i have to stop the production crew from
01:14:29.040
making them because there's so many of them it's the it would be the entire show right all we would
01:14:35.140
be doing is making hail to the gaff moments over and over and over again now of course the nanochip
01:14:41.020
one will start the show today there's no doubt about that but still you could get to the point where
01:14:45.920
that's all you talk about every speech he makes there's three or four of these things in it
01:14:49.840
at least at least we have one okay let's listen all right ladies and gentlemen the president of
01:14:58.180
the united states of america we'll construct a second fab here in phoenix to build chips three
01:15:05.460
nano chips the three nano chip nano chips and the three nano and you know what i'm saying
01:15:11.380
this has been the president of the united states of america oh may god have mercy on our souls
01:15:18.520
we do not know what you're saying uh we don't no no one knows what you're saying three nanos
01:15:26.480
no i'm sorry we don't we don't get that well there's the nano yeah there's nano light and
01:15:31.280
there's nano dry oh okay yeah all right i didn't realize that yeah in the chip industry it tastes
01:15:37.260
great but it's less filling okay the nano light the nano light and the nano dry what does that do for
01:15:42.860
me uh that it dries out your mouth so you need to drink something it's very dry okay do i can i do
01:15:49.840
nano regular when they get the nano after the nano dry that's gonna help but it's not gonna bring you
01:15:55.100
all the way back it's like nano dry is like the bake the bake chips like the baked lays you green them
01:15:59.720
and you're like gosh these these taste okay but they're pretty dry pretty pretty dry like why don't
01:16:04.640
i eat regular chips and then you can also have the chip the nano light but that has some sort of
01:16:08.940
additive that really messes with your digestive system so i don't know if you want to try i don't
01:16:12.920
want that no i don't want that just go nano regular just eat in moderation you know that's all we're
01:16:18.200
asking all things in moderation right including nano moderation i don't know i'll get in my moderate
01:16:23.420
yeah moderate your nano chip intake okay that's all we're saying here i know it's the holidays you
01:16:29.260
want to indulge a little bit it's understandable but just take a moment and think about how many
01:16:34.280
nano chips you've ingested well follow the advice of the president and you know just do the well you
01:16:41.260
know what he's saying yeah the three nanos i'm saying yeah it's all this is three nanos that's
01:16:46.660
just it's so embarrassing it you know it is embarrassing it's embarrassing honestly for the
01:16:51.860
country like we yeah people all around the world look at this guy and they're like that's
01:16:56.540
wow that's the that's the uh that's the big those are the big guys on the block those yeah that's
01:17:01.260
the superpower that guy however i will say though that there are i think there's a pretty good number
01:17:08.440
of americans that never see any of this stuff because they watch cnn who doesn't show it msnbc
01:17:14.380
they don't show it and so you think he's doing fine he's doing fine he's great we have seen like
01:17:20.940
news broadcasts in saudi arabia and australia and europe all mocking him the way that we're mocking him
01:17:29.520
and that's just like look let us make fun of him i don't want you doing it all the australians are
01:17:34.340
all over it oh yeah they think it's hilarious gosh and like i can't blame him like almost every
01:17:39.360
night i would do the same thing i would too you know if we had uh you know if macron was doing
01:17:45.600
this every night we'd certainly be making fun of him and it's so much worse because he is the leader
01:17:49.600
of the free world which they mention every time they play this stuff yeah here's the leader of the
01:17:53.880
free world and then they highlight nano chips and just asinine things he says on a regular basis i
01:18:02.400
wish it was just funny it's really yeah we did we did this uh yeah by the biden triangle of emotion
01:18:08.040
we because i felt like every time i see a biden clip i have a combination of three emotions which is
01:18:16.500
like you know i feel sad okay i i feel like i feel it's funny yeah and it's scary and sometimes it's
01:18:27.180
all three things yeah sometimes it's right in the middle of the triangle sometimes it's leaning to the
01:18:31.640
scary side so like that one i don't know maybe put it on like the funny side i just want to mock that
01:18:35.860
one unlike when you know he was over making a speech and being like hey we gotta get vladimir putin
01:18:41.640
regime change like whoa wait what we are now advocating publicly for regime change in russia
01:18:49.900
in the middle of a war wait what like that one was scary that the nano chips thing was just kind
01:18:55.680
of funny he's an idiot it's a little sad yeah not really scary but there you have that combination
01:19:01.720
of emotions every time you watch one of these clips and you realize this guy's that like it's sad for
01:19:09.540
our country it's scary for our country that the fact that like this guy has a lot of control
01:19:16.240
over our lives now that's bad it shouldn't be that way in america but it is true i mean and he's
01:19:23.160
signing executive orders like like they're going out of style and hopefully they are you know with
01:19:28.380
the supreme court i would like that yeah i i do hope that's the way this turns out but you're right
01:19:32.640
that's what he's doing yep you know i i hope that this supreme court slaps down the student loan
01:19:39.720
thing in i want it i want the ruling to go on forever i want it to be a thousand pages of just
01:19:46.220
slams and i want this stuff this to be destroyed so no president tries to do it again you have to send
01:19:54.700
a message with this and you know i don't look i have no faith in the liberal justices but this should
01:19:59.820
be a 9-0 ruling i i do i do have some hope maybe you get kagan maybe it's a 7-2 because this is
01:20:06.340
egregious the man just took a trillion dollars and tried to spend it without asking congress yeah
01:20:12.360
you can't okay you think sbf is bad jeez what what is this he just took a trillion dollars of
01:20:19.860
our money and was like ah we'll just forgive all the debt no big deal completely unacceptable

and enlightenment this is the glenn back program
01:24:53.140
patent stew for glenn today this is kind of fun uh representative katherine clark a democrat
01:25:02.260
talking about how her middle child was so horrified about climate change she had nightmares about it
01:25:08.680
we'll tell you about that and a lot more uh disney is closing one of their rides because
01:25:14.620
racism uh that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds
01:25:19.940
since you're listening to this program you're obviously one of the best americans that exist
01:25:29.020
well i'm also probably willing to bet a decent amount of money that you work pretty hard for
01:25:34.040
what you have you've probably been fiscally responsible you've probably saved money when you
01:25:38.440
can you've probably not lived beyond your means you've probably kept an eye on the economy
01:25:43.000
and if you do all those things you know that right now things aren't looking so great for the u.s dollar
01:25:48.820
it's all the more reason why you should be investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals
01:25:53.200
and building that hedge against insanity you know you got to do your own homework but like you really
01:25:58.600
need to do your own homework because i don't know how much more time there is before all this stuff

i love the immortal nicholas really yeah that's it's probably my favorite book uh that glenn has
01:26:48.820
written really really good yeah you know it's love it it's uh he's written a few fiction books over
01:26:55.020
the years uh many of them have been very very successful that one sort of stood the test of time
01:26:58.920
though yeah because it's not fiction that's what really happened okay i'm sorry i didn't know that yeah
01:27:03.340
wow that was really weird stew yeah it was it was really weird that you would call that fiction
01:27:09.180
it was in the fiction section at the well that was a mistake who put it in the who put it in the
01:27:15.140
fictional section that's just wrong that's just wrong um representative katherine clark
01:27:21.300
incoming house minority whip claimed on sunday that one of her kids awakened from nightmares over
01:27:27.660
climate change do we have that i think we i think we have that uh but they've also given us
01:27:32.920
a model to become our own leaders and let me tell you what it means to to me coming in as a
01:27:41.560
different generation i remember my middle child waking up with nightmares over concern around climate
01:27:49.200
change i mean if that's true whose fault is that right at hers probably the the school she was sending
01:27:59.260
them to the the fact that would they get that propaganda at school every day of their lives
01:28:06.260
and the fear mongering that has been done by the left has freaked children out i mean if that's true
01:28:14.320
that she actually had nightmares about climate i think it i don't know if it's true in her case of
01:28:19.440
course i don't know it's probably true for a lot of kids michael schellenberger talked about this
01:28:24.200
you know he wrote a book called apocalypse never which is a great book i know you've talked to him
01:28:28.040
about it as well it's an awesome book and he you know he's a big time environmentalist he was uh
01:28:34.000
very liberal won all sorts of awards for his environmental leadership and activism and you know
01:28:40.940
kept looking at this and then eventually got to the point where he said wait a minute a lot of this
01:28:44.520
stuff isn't true here's what is true and he has great like if you care about the climate at all i
01:28:48.520
can't recommend that book enough but i asked him like well why'd you write it like it's got to be
01:28:54.140
hard right to go through you you have this reputation built yeah as a and as an environmentalist
01:28:58.900
you have all these friends on that side of the aisle why write a book that tells the truth about
01:29:03.880
climate change and puts things in perspective why would you do that and his answer was that
01:29:09.920
his daughter's friends he saw what was going on with his daughter's friends and his daughter's
01:29:16.940
friends were literally as he as he pointed out terrified of climate change they were convinced
01:29:23.140
they've been told they're good it's yeah the earth is going to last for 10 years they were
01:29:27.160
convinced that's how they would die oh man and so like imagine what that is doing to a teenage girl
01:29:33.740
who's already gone dealing with god only knows what right you know he's like you know i of course
01:29:39.400
talked to my daughter about it and so she was not down that road but a lot of her friends were
01:29:44.760
and if you think about just the life of a the the teenage uh life of a teenage girl is is not
01:29:53.540
not there's a lot going on there right like you know high school and boys and you know all the other
01:30:01.260
stuff that goes on trying to to make it through that era for every kid boy or girl is difficult
01:30:07.400
you know add on the greta thunberg approach we're all going to die from climate change we should
01:30:16.020
all be acting right now this is the most terrible thing that could ever happen oh my god people are
01:30:20.300
dying all over the place and then the media not only takes greta thunberg and uh and takes her
01:30:27.540
claims seriously but promotes her so that she is influencing generations of other kids to be
01:30:34.080
terrified she's some kind of expert right she's not there's nothing about this yeah and she's a
01:30:39.820
kid with lots of issues the family has tons of issues you put this it's like you know we put you
01:30:46.120
put someone like that in the spotlight and you're risking all sorts of things and she's done real
01:30:52.080
damage to kids kids believe this stuff now well the damage was originally done to her and now she's
01:30:59.160
doing it to others yep because it was her parents who got her off on this freak train to begin with
01:31:04.700
oh yeah i think it was the second show i did on studios america we the show's been going on for
01:31:10.500
three years now by the way three years of studios america and the i think it was the second episode
01:31:14.820
of the show was about greta's uh parents and just went through first of all there's some really funny
01:31:19.900
stuff and they're it's a weird cast of characters that's what i'll bet uh but i mean they did they put
01:31:26.440
they put their kids we put her you know who's she obviously has emotional problems right like yeah
01:31:32.480
i mean she is emotional and plus isn't she she's uh she's all sorts of struggles yeah you know when
01:31:37.860
it comes to just day-to-day life autistic maybe possibly yeah i don't remember all the details of it
01:31:44.700
but i i you know she's dealing with a lot and to put her in this to to praise this idiocy that she's
01:31:52.900
talking about and bringing to the the public and now there's kind of been this movement okay all
01:31:58.060
right we're all we're all set i guess we're all set now with the greta thing you know she hasn't
01:32:01.780
been getting all the press lately i don't know if you've noticed this she seems to be fading away
01:32:05.160
she's getting too old she's no longer the cute little kid now she's like in a you know in a
01:32:09.740
teenager they want to ignore she's been critical of some of the wrong people right like you know
01:32:15.240
she look she legitimately believes she's going to die from this this is real to her yes and so
01:32:22.860
the when when the the power players in the democratic party and on the left use her they
01:32:30.180
use her to win elections to get control of the economy for all of these other reasons she really
01:32:37.040
believes it of course she was a child so she probably believed lots of other things that weren't
01:32:41.700
true but she believes it so now she's started to criticize people on the left and now now they
01:32:47.480
don't want to promote her anymore and they don't want her in front of up front of the cameras as much
01:32:51.600
but they're not doing what she thinks needs to be done right and that's stopping all like co2
01:32:56.740
legitimately and just stopping the economy in its tracks economy and stop industry she and when people
01:33:02.060
say like hey uh we can we can build solar panels and that will grow our economy and she correctly
01:33:08.740
calls that out as nonsense no you can't no you can't if you want to do this not enough we got
01:33:16.220
to shut down the economy completely and yeah there's going to be lots of economic pain but we need to
01:33:20.700
or else i'm going to die right it's her point now she's not correct about the conclusion there but
01:33:26.340
she's correct that you can't do it the way this happy-go-lucky way that left promotes ah we'll just
01:33:31.220
create some new jobs what is make social solar panels here everyone will have clean energy go out and
01:33:35.900
buy an electric car it's no big deal and what's amazing is that sometimes they admit that yeah
01:33:40.800
sometimes they say yeah the paris accords but it's just all symbolic wait what you want everybody to
01:33:47.060
abide by the paris accords but it was all symbolic yeah that won't that won't be enough oh okay well
01:33:54.180
what will be enough shutting down our our society that's what the end goal is of this just to bring
01:34:01.920
the united states of america to its knees so that everybody else in the world can catch up to it
01:34:07.100
that's the only way they'll catch up to us is if we shut everything down right because we're too far
01:34:13.340
ahead of it it's legitimately what they want to happen i mean look this is a bigger movement than
01:34:17.220
as everybody on earth freaking knows this is not about it's not about the uh the climate
01:34:27.400
i mean the elon musk is the ultimate example of this they said forever we have to go to electric
01:34:34.020
cars they said we must go to electric cars we have to it's it's the greatest existential threat
01:34:40.160
we've ever seen in our entire lives this is we absolutely must do this at any cost
01:34:47.200
it's a we are all going to die millions of people are going to die in bangladesh
01:34:51.680
if we don't do something about this and then he said you know maybe we should have free speech
01:34:57.740
like this guy's the devil yeah sure he built the electric car company that's any building spaceships
01:35:04.040
to escape the the uh escape the planet in case global warming really hits us and he's building uh
01:35:11.520
you know a technology that can help ai that would help scrub the atmosphere of carbon and all of these
01:35:18.900
incredible projects he's working on but he said conservatives should be able to tweet that they
01:35:24.400
like low taxes so he's satan i mean has there ever been a more clear example they don't care about the
01:35:32.260
climate at all none of this means anything to them it's all bs and especially since they know full
01:35:39.740
good and well just like we do that the electric car by the way is not an answer for our problems
01:35:45.360
the electric car with all the mining you have to do with all of the preparation to build the car
01:35:51.580
right with everything that comes together and that stinking battery that's in the car
01:35:55.980
worse for the environment than carbon oriented cars i mean it is not the answer no i mean at all i should
01:36:05.380
tweet this at studios america if you want to follow it i'll tweet it later on today but there's a
01:36:09.720
i i watched a ted talk from an environmentalist and you know ted talks are you can always get into
01:36:15.460
them you know i don't care what the topic is so i clicked on it and the guy's talking about electric
01:36:19.580
cars and i'm like oh this will be interesting let's see what he has to say i saw this too yeah i like
01:36:23.480
watching sometimes the other you want to watch the other side you understand what their arguments are
01:36:27.700
are they good are they bad what's the evidence they have and he was surprising went the other way yeah
01:36:32.140
he was like you know what actually it's not time for electric cars we're not ready for them
01:36:37.120
and he goes they're harmful to the environment he shows the details on it and i depending on you
01:36:43.520
know there's a bunch of different variables he outlines but it's something like over a hundred
01:36:47.040
thousand miles of driving an electric car before you even break even and that's if you have if you're
01:36:54.120
fine driving an electric car that only goes you know 120 miles which most people aren't i mean most
01:36:59.940
people don't want they want a longer range one like some of the cool cars that elon musk has built
01:37:03.620
can go a lot farther than that it's certainly very fast yep and you know you go down that road
01:37:08.480
and you're you never you never make it up and the electric the regular his point eventually he gets
01:37:13.900
to is like i think for the environment hybrids are a good answer he's like i think hybrids are much
01:37:18.280
better for our the amount of technology we have right now because you can save some but still make
01:37:23.640
it you know useful for people and you don't have the cost of all the batteries you'll you have a much
01:37:28.480
smaller amount of battery right those two technologies are a big deal that's a big problem
01:37:34.260
yeah but like you know it is true there has been tons of research on this at this point
01:37:40.880
and it's it's kind of a joke right it's kind of a joke honestly yeah if you believe this
01:37:49.340
it seriously they've been telling us it's the most important thing in the world for decades
01:37:55.860
and the guy comes along with his own money and builds a company that that does 30 40 years of
01:38:03.820
advancement in this field without them really having to touch it other than some generous government
01:38:09.740
subsidies that were involved we should know but still he did most of the most of this work himself
01:38:13.840
and the he said i want to keep my company open during covid and i don't really like masks and
01:38:21.880
they're like holy crap this guy's satan we should we should excommunicate him from society
01:38:25.900
and they're trying to trying to they really are it's it's amazing to watch and to this representative
01:38:33.540
who talks about the nightmares of her middle child uh i love the joe bastardi response on twitter
01:38:40.540
if this is true then it's because someone is guilty of child abuse given life has never been better on
01:38:46.400
planet earth tell your middle child we're in a climate optimum with 1 112 the amount of death
01:38:54.940
per capita from climate as 1930 i love that i mean people don't people have no idea about these
01:39:02.120
statistics they just buy what is sold to them all the time uh by the left thank god and fossil fuels
01:39:10.360
he said and that is i mean so true and so accurate and we've talked about it you know people don't
01:39:18.580
people aren't starving on this planet the way they once were when it was a little bit colder on this
01:39:23.500
planet because it's warm enough to grow more food which seems kind of like a good thing uh to some people
01:39:35.260

01:41:06.040
the time do they yeah oh okay there's been a lot i'd like to see some of those uh communiques well
01:41:12.180
you know they're they were all tweets and elon must deleted them oh that jerk why well like he
01:41:18.340
didn't want to be out there right he didn't want the truth to be out there all right uh well the truth
01:41:25.720
of things is that uh splash mountain needs to go away at disneyland disney world finally somebody's
01:41:31.740
saying it's finally somebody's doing it it's been around since 1989 this racist ride
01:41:38.600
at uh they're all their theme parks and they are closing it permanently finally on january 23rd
01:41:48.800
how many people have died because of splash mountain you know just the horror of how racist it is okay
01:41:56.680
not from like the actual no not from the actual fall no nobody's died from that okay that i know of
01:42:01.200
but you got to believe hundreds if not thousands have died because of the horror when they realize
01:42:08.660
it's based on song of the south i had no idea it was based on song of the south until this story came
01:42:15.360
out it's just a freaking ride where you go down a hill and splash in water that's what it is no one
01:42:20.480
cares that it has anything to do with sound of the south no right that's exactly right uh so fans of
01:42:27.060
the ride created their own petition and gathered about a hundred thousand signatures saying hey
01:42:34.320
uh please don't end splash mountain and they're going to anyway now splash mountain itself never
01:42:43.260
included depictions of slaves or any racist elements and it's based solely on historical african
01:42:53.540
folk tales that families of all ethnicities have been enjoying for nearly a century
01:42:58.620
so it wasn't racist in any way it it actually really wasn't based on song of the south because they
01:43:06.100
didn't do anything song of the southish that was you know bad in it i mean i think some of the language
01:43:12.680
and and maybe the the treatment of minorities in song of the south you know it doesn't fit certainly
01:43:18.320
with what's going on today but that wasn't included right in the ride right the ride really
01:43:24.100
had nothing to do with that it's a bunch of rabbits and yeah foxes it was what my recollection
01:43:30.660
they basically cheaply branded this ride with with a popular right movie at the time right like they
01:43:37.020
were just like hey well song of the south people like that right let's uh let's pop let's call it a
01:43:41.880
song of the south ride but it wasn't it was just a brought a water ride and in 1989 you you could do
01:43:47.180
that because we weren't as sensitive as we are now now we're just i mean we can't handle anything
01:43:53.120
no we really can't handle anything and like you know we we get to this point where every there was
01:44:01.920
i think mindy kaling is the uh was the person who recently said this but she was on the office
01:44:06.540
uh as well as steve carell of course steve carell said this before you can't even make the office now
01:44:11.120
here's one of the greatest shows of all time they think you couldn't they think you could not she said
01:44:15.340
now too um steve carell said it years ago he couldn't do it and you know it's sad that you
01:44:23.060
couldn't do it right like one of the greatest television shows of all time well how much do
01:44:27.580
we have one minute we should come back and talk about this a little bit because okay i'm i'm
01:44:30.600
fascinated by by this because i love the office i love it and you know people say well after steve
01:44:36.460
carell left it sucked honestly still really good yeah it wasn't as good of course i think that's
01:44:42.180
true but it was still good it was one of those shows that you'd be like well it's just not as good
01:44:46.200
if you compare it to the first few seasons when steve carell is on there right you are correct and
01:44:52.480
then do another thing though compare it to the other shows on television yeah and then you're like
01:44:57.940
holy crap this is a great show it really was even to the end really really funny and and had you
01:45:03.120
it's great moments um but so much of it now would need to be deleted they i mean they have deleted
01:45:10.660
some of it but but it's amazing i'll tell you about a couple moments from this and and mindy
01:45:14.520
kaylee's comments uh coming up as well 888-727-BECK is the phone number it's pat and stew for glenn who
01:45:21.220
is out sick today unfortunately we wish him well uh you know i mean not with our full hearts but
01:45:27.940
a little a third maybe a third of our hearts we wish him well the glenn back program
01:45:34.640
all right you twisted freak let me tell you about relief factor doug wrote in he said i've gotten to
01:45:43.340
the point where i could no longer walk let alone hike more than a mile without sitting down geez
01:45:50.540
doug that's pretty good i could i i'm getting to the point where i can barely walk to the refrigerator
01:45:55.580
with having without having to sit down anyway he says so after i started taking relief factor i've
01:46:02.480
been able to hike normally with no problems at all you know what hiking is

01:47:44.100
true um so this situation going on with mindy kaling of the office she was uh of course uh kelly on the
01:47:53.180
office uh you would remember her yeah kind of the uh bubbly um sometimes idiot uh in the office who
01:48:02.520
was uh constantly obsessed with uh hooking up with uh her on and off boyfriend okay yes so uh she
01:48:09.720
she's also like is a very accomplished you know actor and also like producer and writer she wrote a lot
01:48:16.880
of the most famous office episodes she's like you know i didn't know she wrote any of them yeah
01:48:21.740
she did she's one of them yeah she wrote a bunch of the big ones and she's also went on to produce
01:48:28.500
other shows and has you know a really big career she says uh this about the office she says the office
01:48:35.280
just couldn't be made today why that show is so inappropriate now she said the writers who i'm still
01:48:41.200
in touch with now we always talk about how so much of that show probably couldn't we couldn't make
01:48:45.540
now tastes have changed and honestly what offends people has changed so much now yeah and i think
01:48:51.880
that's actually one of the reasons the show is popular because people feel like there's some kind
01:48:55.520
of fearless something kind of fearless about it or taboo that it talks about on the show
01:49:01.100
and i think there's two ways to make a comment like that right like there's the way steve carell
01:49:07.240
made this comment that's very similar one years ago where he said you know look i just don't think
01:49:11.420
they would make it i don't think it would get green lit i don't think we could do half was he lamenting
01:49:14.960
that fact right is it lamenting or is it thank god because we've now made brave changes to embrace
01:49:21.300
all of the lgbtq or whatever you know whatever yeah whatever sentence and series of abbreviations
01:49:27.340
you go into after saying something like that is the typical way this goes now kayling's definitely
01:49:31.660
liberal i mean carell is liberal everybody in hollywood is liberal right just about we basically know
01:49:37.400
that um now carell in 2018 they talked about potentially doing a reboot of the series and
01:49:44.260
carell said i'll tell you no the show is way more popular now than it was on the air and i just can't
01:49:50.760
see it being the same thing and i think most folks would want to do the same thing but it wouldn't be
01:49:54.300
ultimately it was probably left best to leave um well enough alone and just let it exist as what it was
01:50:00.180
it's really sad carell continued you'd literally have all the same writers the same producers the same
01:50:05.520
directors the same actors and even with all those components it still wouldn't be the same
01:50:08.600
but i love the show it was the most exciting time these people are my friends blah blah blah blah
01:50:13.240
blah however he talked about how it was not just content wise wouldn't exist and i give you an
01:50:19.780
example of this there's a there's a a podcast called office ladies which is hosted by pam from the office
01:50:28.080
get these people's names and angela from the office those are the two hosts of it and they go
01:50:33.980
through and they do an episode by episode recap and talk about behind the scenes stuff and all the
01:50:38.180
things that went on and i don't know they're they're very pleasant people generally and likable people
01:50:43.680
and it's like you can listen to a hundred podcasts a day like we do right we do podcasts a day talking
01:50:51.060
about the news and there's a lot there to just you just feel terrible about and it's like nice to
01:50:55.880
remember a show that i really liked and two people that i like talking about things that i like
01:51:00.380
you know and it's like it feels it's like a it's like i really like it's just enjoyable to listen
01:51:04.880
to anyway so they were talking about an episode from the office which i do remember and there's one
01:51:12.540
storyline in the office in this particular episode where steve carell is trying to hook up or date
01:51:19.800
a woman they i think they meet in a bar and him and dwight meet these two asian women in a bar
01:51:27.280
and i guess they're friends or something and the plot line is steve carell can't tell them apart
01:51:34.400
so he they go to the bathroom and they come back and he can't remember which that would be a problem
01:51:39.600
right he can't remember which one he was with he can't tell them apart so at we go it escalates it
01:51:47.000
escalates and he doesn't know what to call one of them he doesn't know which one to sit next to
01:51:51.240
it's like a very awkward very office moment yeah and it it kind of uh crescendos to the point where
01:51:58.020
he takes a magic marker and marks one of their arms so he can remember which one he's with
01:52:02.200
is very very offensive in a way in a way if you're not an adult if you can't think for yourself it's
01:52:13.820
yes and here's the thing was the point of that storyline all asians look alike or was the point
01:52:24.880
of that storyline that steve carell is a neanderthal and yes is it of course that's the point that's
01:52:30.320
the point it's making fun of people right who would go through this thought process right it's making
01:52:36.160
fun of not asian people for looking alike but steve carell for being an idiot in this role yeah
01:52:43.880
it's always setting in philadelphia still does this to this day and they they do all sorts of things
01:52:49.500
they've had episodes is it still running still right it's the longest live action running sitcom in
01:52:54.360
history no yeah wow i ever did i say that i question it but exceeded by the simpsons maybe simpsons
01:53:01.760
yeah the simpsons but they do say the live action thing and i think too it hasn't had as many
01:53:07.100
episodes certainly as other sitcoms but it's been still airing for a very long time wow and so like
01:53:13.220
they've had episodes there's a famous episode where um it's called d-day um which is focused on the
01:53:21.200
character d and d is a you know she's someone who wants to be very famous and she has these really
01:53:27.320
bad characters and the the point is she's very shallow and she wants she thinks she's really
01:53:32.340
good at being hilarious and a comedian and she's not and so she has these terrible characters she
01:53:36.860
tries to bust out and many of them are based on really just shoddy racial stereotypes right and
01:53:45.120
they're not even like they're just awful like the point is that these people are shallow and
01:53:51.680
moronic and bad people dealing with things in bad ways but are they still doing it mock them and laugh
01:54:00.780
at them they're still doing that kind of stuff they are still doing that kind of stuff but that
01:54:04.920
episode in particular was pulled because at one point she darkens her skin and that was called black
01:54:10.740
face and blah blah blah you know how that thing goes now it's always sunny in philadelphia south park
01:54:16.500
can get away with this stuff at some level they're they're deep cable shows right these are not
01:54:20.840
network shows the office i don't think you could get away with it at this point but um uh anyway
01:54:25.720
the the the office ladies episode i was talking about got to the point where they're talking about
01:54:30.100
this episode where steve carell tries to date the the asian woman can't tell them apart marks them
01:54:35.340
with a marker and and again i really like both of these women talk like they're i really like this
01:54:42.080
podcast yeah but like they talk about it like like you know i'm i'm ashamed that we did this oh
01:54:49.820
jeez i'm ashamed oh my gosh we we we we indulged these stereotypes and they have this like moment
01:54:56.400
of regret about these jokes and like even at the time we felt uncomfortable and i just this was wrong
01:55:03.140
it was wrong and they had it's really it's the only time i've really heard them do this type of thing
01:55:06.880
it's why it stands out to me but it's like stop stop it yeah stop it there was nothing wrong
01:55:15.500
with mock mock mocking in these i mean like we have shows that mocked hitler's germany
01:55:24.020
hogan's heroes the producers we mocked not the holocaust and you know one of the reasons why
01:55:33.280
everyone outside of kanye west and whatever room he's in seems to agree on the holocaust one of the
01:55:38.620
reasons why it's been so shunned by society is because of that mockery we were all able to come
01:55:44.520
together and say this is a completely ridiculous thing and let's all mock it and ridicule those
01:55:50.240
views that was something society used to do well now we all are terrified of it and you know the other
01:55:56.600
thing is that the office ran till 2013 okay so it went from 05 to 13 so we have changed so much
01:56:07.280
as a society so quickly it's not even 10 years yeah since that went off the air and you couldn't
01:56:13.260
do it today that shows just uh the light speed that we're changing yeah pat this is a great thing
01:56:21.840
i just a great example of this it's always sunny in philadelphia i just mentioned it they've had
01:56:25.720
several issue uh episodes pulled from their catalog you can't if you go to hulu or wherever it's playing
01:56:30.480
it's just not there it won't be there because something in there was too offensive supposedly one of
01:56:36.100
the episodes that got pulled is from like season 13 or 14 of the show they're only on like season 15
01:56:44.120
or 16 so like wow it was just a couple of seasons ago where this was all approved yeah maybe 2019 or
01:56:53.160
2020 yeah maybe it was 2018 or something they were right around there and they pulled the episode and
01:57:00.360
it's just like it's like one of the more recent seasons this is not even going now from things that
01:57:05.520
happened in 2005 and we update what we're thinking and we get nervous and we pull splash mountain rides
01:57:11.000
because of song of the south this is stuff that like was approved by corporate boards two years ago
01:57:16.940
right and now we're at deeming too too offensive for people to even view and judge for themselves
01:57:23.020
outrageous completely ridiculous outrageous 888-727-BECK we're gonna share this um
01:57:30.880
rachel levine ah uh clip with you because it's fantastic and she is spicy oh man there's no doubt
01:57:38.560
about oh wow so beautiful we're saying things currently that we'll get this episode pulled
01:57:42.400
but man is she spicy yeah that's for sure uh more coming up
01:57:45.880
what a world how hard is it to plan for the future well if you're doing it right the answer is
01:57:52.260
pretty hard not only do you have to learn how to live within your means and that can be pretty hard
01:57:57.240
especially when you're young and people are practically throwing credit at you but you also
01:58:01.560
have to learn when and where you can save money throughout the year and that's not always the most
01:58:07.060
obvious thing in the world either if you're fiscally responsible and you're a homeowner i want to give
01:58:11.280
you the mortgage consultants over at american financing uh to reference and talk to because
01:58:17.080
if you give them a call today they're going to save you money you can make the job of figuring out
01:58:22.080
where you can save money month after month so much easier and you could be saving hundreds of dollars
01:58:26.820
per month around 700 on average i mean if you think about how much that would actually mean to
01:58:33.220
the everyday family if you're i mean honestly it might just wipe out some of this biden inflation
01:58:37.280
right you go through this period where you're spending more for everything else at least this can
01:58:41.220

01:59:10.920
all right we're gonna get into uh this racial rachel levine situation but first stu just found an
01:59:32.580
interesting stat that we were talking about from the climate change situation yeah you mentioned
01:59:36.720
the paris accord i meant to look this up uh if the paris accord is just symbolic that's really what
01:59:42.720
they'll they'll admit it and of course it's true um if if the climate impact uh of all the um
01:59:50.700
indicated cuts in carbon uh actually it all went through all countries do everything they're supposed
01:59:57.920
to which of course we know is not going to happen but all countries do everything they're supposed to
02:00:01.620
to the t uh it would save in if everything is right all the science is right no margin of error
02:00:07.500
everything they nail it exactly it would save us 0.048 degrees celsius by 2100
02:00:16.520
48 one hundredths of a degree by 2100 thus saving the planet right no no 48 one thousandths of a degree
02:00:28.840
oh yeah 48 one thousandths right about 48 one hundredths it's not a half of a half of a degree
02:00:34.700
here we're talking about 0.048 degrees that is outrageous so anyway just to bring that up but
02:00:42.300
speaking of science uh i mean it's like scientifically proven that rachel levine uh admiral
02:00:50.620
levine is uh perhaps the most beautiful woman on the planet and she had some things to say about
02:00:56.380
science and here's what she said so i encourage all of you to think of yourselves as ambassadors
02:01:01.920
to your communities okay ambassadors for science ambassadors for compassion and ambassadors for care
02:01:09.680
these conversations don't have to be limited or restricted to a medical setting offering yourselves
02:01:15.400
as informational resources not just for youth but for school teachers principals school boards
02:01:21.660
professional organizations recreation centers county commissioners and others who would benefit from
02:01:28.420
this information in your perspective please proactively seek opportunities to speak about what you know
02:01:34.440
our task is to educate the public in as many forms as possible
02:01:38.340
we need to have these conversations that question the assumptions that are underlying today's attacks
02:01:44.000
on trans people pushing back the veil of ignorance demands this extra effort
02:01:49.240
and this is a this is the challenge before our profession okay for almost 40 years now
02:01:54.680
almost 40 i have considered an honor to be adopted okay i believe in our role as healers i believe in
02:02:00.920
our role as truth tellers truth tellers and the truth that we need to confront now is that medicine
02:02:05.640
and science are being politically perverted around this country are they destroys human lives we have
02:02:11.000
reached a tipping point for the role in medicine in civic life for the health and well-being of lgbtqi
02:02:17.880
plus youth and other americans lgbtq pause it for those who attack our community i mean that is so outrageous
02:02:23.960
because what she's saying is the exact opposite of what's actually happening the reverse of reality
02:02:30.920
she or they whatever pronoun she he she or they use uh is the one who's denying science and manipulating
02:02:39.640
everybody else trying to get us to believe that version of science which is just not reality and she
02:02:48.280
by the way did not say she the the science was being manipulated she believed i believe she said
02:02:53.720
that it was being perverted perverted which is a perfect word to describe what is going on here
02:02:58.920
yeah and i will say it was hard for me to really get through what she was saying there because she's
02:03:04.040
just so hot the problem here if you're listening on radio i mean that's really superficial stew but i
02:03:10.280
understand what you're saying i gotta admit it i understand what you're saying we're here telling the
02:03:13.800
truth we don't want to pervert the truth here we do not and you know if you're listening on radio
02:03:19.000
you are not seeing the video along with this and it to your credit you were probably able to focus on
02:03:24.120
what she was saying yeah i can only focus on how hot she is it's the only thing that really connects
02:03:30.280
with me here she's so incredible i mean she puts you know you're just being honest kate beckinsale
02:03:36.440
puts her to shame right that margot robbie margot robbie spit on disgusting yeah actually physically
02:03:42.360
sickens me to think about margot robbie right now when i when i consider the beauty of rachel
02:03:48.120
levine it's it's transcendent it's transcendent it is it really is yeah you're right i am revolted
02:03:55.400
by you know making by thinking of right yeah oh man no it's disgusting i i just threw up in my
02:04:01.320
mouth a little bit so yeah me too all right well that was fun uh hopefully glenn returns tomorrow
