The Glenn Beck Program - Watch Out, Biden Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You! ｜ 7⧸7⧸21 ｜ The Glenn Beck Program

00:00:00.000 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:23.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:30.000 All right.

00:00:33.300 Where do you have to go to find a news organization that notices there's some problem with Joe Biden?

00:00:44.280 Australia.

00:00:45.660 You got to go to Australia for that.

00:00:48.380 Well, other than Fox and talk radio, you go to Australia.

00:00:52.320 We'll tell you about that.

00:00:53.500 Who has noticed maybe some problems there with the president of the United States?

00:00:57.780 It's coming up in 60 seconds.

00:01:00.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:06.620 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

00:01:13.740 Foreign press taking note of Biden's apparent cognitive decline.

00:01:18.180 That can't be right.

00:01:19.120 That's, I mean, CBS hasn't noticed it.

00:01:21.900 NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC.

00:01:25.080 They haven't noticed anything wrong.

00:01:27.620 What is it that Sky News in Australia sees?

00:01:30.540 Hmm.

00:01:31.240 Well, President Joe Biden's mental acuity has declined to such a precipitously low level

00:01:36.580 that he probably couldn't find his way home after dark, according to Sky News Australia.

00:01:43.300 Hey, this is a news broadcast?

00:01:44.800 Yeah, apparently quite an opinionated one.

00:01:48.320 Yeah.

00:01:49.060 The network acknowledged it's received a heavy volume of emails about Biden's intellectual presence

00:01:56.080 after the cable news network described Biden as struggling, barely cogent, and a human corpse.

00:02:05.380 That is something, I don't think we've even described him that dramatically.

00:02:11.760 I think there may be, I mean, I don't want to accuse them, but I think there might be just

00:02:16.840 a slice of opinion sliding into this coverage.

00:02:21.340 Sky News is like Fox News, right?

00:02:22.880 Yeah, it is.

00:02:23.960 It's the conservative-leaning news in England and Australia.

00:02:29.420 Right.

00:02:29.760 And it's owned by Rupert Murdoch as well, right?

00:02:32.500 Yes.

00:02:32.880 It's in that family.

00:02:34.020 So it's not, but it is interesting to see that noticed.

00:02:35.880 It is interesting, isn't it?

00:02:36.860 Yeah, because how can you not notice?

00:02:40.280 I mean, he has been so out of it lately that, you know, they've actually, some of the reports,

00:02:49.540 well, here's what Alan Jones of Sky News said.

00:02:52.940 Suddenly the world's greatest power is in the hands of a slightly dazed bloke who looks like 0.99

00:02:58.640 he's always waking up from heavy anesthesia.

00:03:02.440 Isn't that a great description of the way he appears?

00:03:05.080 He does look like he's getting up from heavy anesthesia.

00:03:08.420 Yeah, I would disagree with the word slightly.

00:03:11.000 Yeah, okay.

00:03:12.420 I'll give you that.

00:03:13.460 That's a little bit of an exaggeration.

00:03:16.560 It's not slight.

00:03:18.420 But yeah, that is.

00:03:20.080 You know how you feel when you get in those moments?

00:03:22.920 You're waking up after anesthesia, you're just groggy and you can't quite.

00:03:27.660 Might be slurring your words.

00:03:28.920 Yeah.

00:03:29.160 You might be going off on tangents that lead nowhere, you know, not making a lot of sense.

00:03:38.240 And sure enough, that's Joe Biden.

00:03:40.820 It's, you know, back in the day, cars were different than they are today.

00:03:45.900 Like today, cars are, even though they're not maybe built this exact same way for quality

00:03:50.080 in some respects, they're reliable, right?

00:03:53.840 You get on, you get a, you know, a $9,000 car, you buy off a used lot that's, you know,

00:03:58.920 a couple of years old.

00:03:59.760 It's going to run for a while.

00:04:01.220 I mean, a lot of these cars now last well over 100,000 miles.

00:04:04.160 Even like a cheap car runs pretty well.

00:04:06.740 Go back to those like 70s and 80s cars though.

00:04:09.480 You have one of those cars and you have it after 10, 12 years and it's got 118,000 miles

00:04:16.260 on it.

00:04:17.780 Sometimes you just press that gas and nothing happens, you know?

00:04:20.980 Like the car's running, you press the gas and it doesn't do anything.

00:04:24.040 And I constantly feel that way when watching Joe Biden.

00:04:27.180 It's like he's pressing the gas for something to happen mentally and it just doesn't, doesn't

00:04:31.340 connect, doesn't fire.

00:04:32.660 And it's scary to watch.

00:04:34.420 It is real.

00:04:34.840 I mean, it is.

00:04:35.560 It's scary to watch and it puts him in a position.

00:04:38.860 I think that is somewhat unique from recent presidents and that he's really not, not the

00:04:47.120 focus of this country in any way.

00:04:49.760 He really has a limited role in our country.

00:04:57.960 I mean, if you think about the last few presidents, Donald Trump, of course, is the ultimate example

00:05:03.740 of this, but Barack Obama, George W. Bush, you know, going back to Reagan, certainly those

00:05:11.460 people were the focus of all society.

00:05:14.540 You know, when it comes to news coverage, that's all these, that's all anybody ever talked

00:05:19.600 about.

00:05:20.180 Yeah.

00:05:20.320 I mean, you remember when we're doing the show, even on a conservative network, when, when

00:05:24.200 you came in in the morning, all it was, the top 25 stories in your prep were just about

00:05:29.400 Donald Trump.

00:05:30.320 Yep.

00:05:30.600 You know, top 25 stories in your prep were about Barack Obama, you know, George W. Bush.

00:05:35.100 We've done, we did talk radio in all three of those presidencies and that was the topic

00:05:40.300 du jour basically every day.

00:05:42.580 What was he doing on the war on terror?

00:05:44.940 What was Barack Obama doing with Obamacare?

00:05:47.220 What was Donald Trump doing?

00:05:49.060 What did he tweet today?

00:05:51.100 It's just not that way now with Joe Biden.

00:05:54.360 He makes occasional flubs.

00:05:57.340 He does, you know, he'll try to pass some giant bill.

00:06:01.480 I mean, it's not like he's never in the news, but it's, it's a different world.

00:06:06.160 But they do ignore a lot of what he does because a lot of what he does shows his cognitive decline.

00:06:11.400 Yep.

00:06:11.780 And so they just ignore it.

00:06:13.100 And there's two reasons for, at least main reasons, right?

00:06:15.300 Number one is it's intentional by the White House.

00:06:17.280 They realize he's in cognitive decline.

00:06:19.660 They keep him out of the press as much as possible.

00:06:22.040 Part of the reason, yes, why the media keeps writing about his ice cream intake is because

00:06:27.000 the media is pathetic and they will just cover him in a way that's favorable.

00:06:32.840 It's not just that, though.

00:06:34.660 It's also that he doesn't do anything.

00:06:36.600 He doesn't do anything public to cover.

00:06:39.200 You know, I mean, yes, he's passing multiple trillions of dollars of bills.

00:06:43.100 And that's the other side of it is the media is assisting in this strategy.

00:06:46.940 So the White House has a strategy to keep him out of the media and the media is assisting

00:06:51.160 in that strategy.

00:06:52.360 Both of those things are going on.

00:06:53.620 But it is interesting to watch it.

00:06:55.160 It's totally different.

00:06:56.260 I remember that when I think you were on with me, Pat, on the News and Why It Matters,

00:07:00.420 a show that we do every week.

00:07:02.140 I think you were on this episode.

00:07:04.340 And we get to the end of the show and they do a Twitter poll every day or every other

00:07:09.940 day or whatever it is.

00:07:11.220 And they do a poll that said it was how who is the most corrupt?

00:07:14.860 A typical kind of fun way to end the show.

00:07:17.200 Like, you're just going to talk one of those things out.

00:07:19.700 And the options were like, you know, Barack Obama, you know, I don't know, Hillary Clinton

00:07:25.960 and Joe Biden.

00:07:27.800 And we were like, I don't know, a month or two before the election actually occurred.

00:07:32.200 And Hillary Clinton ran away with a poll. 1.00

00:07:35.400 And I'm thinking to myself, this is conservative talk radio.

00:07:40.060 It is Twitter, the most activist part of conservative talk radio, voting on a poll just before

00:07:50.540 an election for president of the United States.

00:07:53.440 And the candidate running for the Democrats gets slaughtered in the poll by Hillary Clinton, 0.68

00:07:59.160 the last candidate.

00:08:00.500 Yeah.

00:08:00.980 People just don't.

00:08:03.000 I don't know if it's because he's so old and the cognitive thing almost helps him because

00:08:07.060 because people are like, I don't know, he's this old guy and I feel bad saying bad things

00:08:10.900 about him.

00:08:11.300 I don't know what it is.

00:08:13.380 I think there's a lot of, ah, that's just Joe being Joe stuff going on.

00:08:17.540 Yeah.

00:08:17.940 I think they still attribute it to that.

00:08:20.320 Ah, Joe, you know, yeah, he screws up sometimes.

00:08:23.300 Don't worry about it.

00:08:24.040 That's just Joe being Joe.

00:08:25.180 Yeah.

00:08:25.840 He's great.

00:08:26.820 He's great.

00:08:27.320 He really is.

00:08:28.400 And there's tons of blame to go around to the media.

00:08:30.400 And of course, it's applicable here.

00:08:32.100 But really, it's also the conservative media.

00:08:34.980 There is not, like, you don't see tons and tons of big books coming out that are anti-Joe

00:08:41.540 Biden books.

00:08:42.600 No, and there should be.

00:08:43.500 There's tons of them about Obama.

00:08:45.260 Look at the corruption from this guy.

00:08:47.000 Yeah.

00:08:47.240 It's unbelievable.

00:08:48.580 Peter Schweitzer wrote a great book about all the corruption and it didn't get the-

00:08:52.520 And it wasn't just Hunter Biden.

00:08:53.780 That was, like, his whole family.

00:08:55.520 Yeah, his whole family.

00:08:56.420 His, you know, Joe Biden's brother, all sorts of people included in that.

00:09:00.000 Daughter.

00:09:00.280 Well-researched.

00:09:01.400 Typical Peter Schweitzer.

00:09:02.620 You know, he does a great job with this stuff.

00:09:03.880 And, like, I remember it was hard to get people interested in it.

00:09:08.320 Yeah.

00:09:08.540 They didn't really care.

00:09:09.560 Yeah.

00:09:09.920 Oh, he's, okay.

00:09:12.060 And?

00:09:12.800 Part of that was because I think conservatives at that time were focused on more of, like,

00:09:18.080 the defense of Donald Trump as he was kind of always under attack from the media.

00:09:21.840 And it was more-

00:09:22.580 Yeah.

00:09:22.760 I mean, that whole election, we said this before, that whole election was not about Joe Biden

00:09:28.300 at all.

00:09:28.940 It was just, do you like Donald Trump or do you not like Donald Trump?

00:09:31.520 That was the entire election.

00:09:32.920 And so, you know, you get through that era and now Donald Trump's gone.

00:09:37.900 Obviously, all of these cable news organizations are like, what do we do?

00:09:41.980 What do we talk about?

00:09:43.440 We kick Donald Trump off of social media.

00:09:45.400 We can't even talk about his tweets anymore.

00:09:47.180 What do we do?

00:09:48.360 The ratings are in the tank.

00:09:50.300 And there's just not that level of passion for or against Joe Biden.

00:09:56.600 He just seems to exist in this world that is shielded from all of that.

00:10:00.820 That's why it's interesting to see Sky News Australia talk about him like this.

00:10:06.340 Andrew Bolt of the Bolt Report, which I'm sure you're quite familiar with on Sky News, right?

00:10:11.540 Oh, yeah.

00:10:12.020 Watch Andrew Bolt of the Bolt Report all the time.

00:10:14.740 Played some footage of him struggling to answer the reporter's question the other day about the Russian hacking.

00:10:19.300 And he paused for, as the article says, a ponderously long time before he took out note cards and read the answer that he didn't.

00:10:31.480 We don't know.

00:10:32.480 That was his answer.

00:10:33.360 That was weird.

00:10:34.680 Yeah.

00:10:35.040 Here's what happened there.

00:10:36.580 Mr. President, let me know if I can ask you a question.

00:10:39.940 Sure.

00:10:42.680 Right now, sir?

00:10:43.760 Yeah.

00:10:44.100 With the most recent hack by the Russians, would you say that this means that... 0.60

00:10:49.820 We're not sure it's the Russians.

00:10:51.160 Okay.

00:10:51.580 I got a brief as I was on the plane.

00:10:55.740 That's why I was late getting off the plane.

00:10:57.940 I got a brief and...

00:11:03.040 Five.

00:11:04.040 Five.

00:11:04.820 Six.

00:11:06.360 Seven.

00:11:07.060 Would you like your receipt?

00:11:08.020 Eight.

00:11:09.240 Nine.

00:11:10.440 I'll be in better shape to talk to you about it.

00:11:13.720 Ten-second pause.

00:11:15.760 Hang on.

00:11:16.640 Okay, I got one.

00:11:17.940 And then the other pocket.

00:11:20.040 Okay.

00:11:22.120 I'll tell you what they sent me.

00:11:23.620 All right.

00:11:24.100 Okay.

00:11:24.600 Tell us.

00:11:26.360 Yeah.

00:11:29.360 Hello?

00:11:31.000 The idea...

00:11:32.440 First of all, we're not sure who it is.

00:11:34.440 Okay.

00:11:34.840 And that's basically his answer.

00:11:36.220 That's his whole answer.

00:11:37.740 Basically, we're not sure who it is.

00:11:41.740 Okay.

00:11:41.920 So that's his answer from pulling out two sets of notes, one in each coat pocket.

00:11:48.260 And if you're listening to us on one of our hundreds of radio stations, that sounds really

00:11:52.860 bad.

00:11:53.800 When you watch it, it's worse.

00:11:55.320 Yeah.

00:11:55.680 I mean, he seems to have...

00:11:56.940 He's gone.

00:11:57.240 He can't even figure out where to find the notes to...

00:12:02.320 Right.

00:12:02.380 Where he would read the phrase, we don't know who it is.

00:12:04.600 Which you know that they told him where they were a million times before he went in there.

00:12:08.760 Mr. President, there's notes in both sides of your suit coat.

00:12:14.680 Both sides.

00:12:16.420 So when she asks you about Russian hacking, pull out your notes.

00:12:21.920 If I were to say, gun to your head right now, Pat.

00:12:23.900 Got to make a decision or someone pulls the trigger if you pick incorrectly.

00:12:27.960 Would you say yes or no, both notes were the same?

00:12:32.460 Yes.

00:12:32.920 I would say yes.

00:12:34.300 Yes.

00:12:34.700 They were like, look, whatever pocket he goes into, the notes need to be in there.

00:12:38.340 I think that's incredible.

00:12:40.040 I would bet a million dollars on it.

00:12:43.380 If I had a million dollars, I'd bet it on that.

00:12:47.080 Yes.

00:12:47.580 Both were exactly the same.

00:12:50.140 That's sad, Pat.

00:12:51.120 It is sad.

00:12:52.300 It is.

00:12:53.140 There's no reason to put the same notes in two pockets.

00:12:56.000 No.

00:12:56.280 But I feel like you're right.

00:12:57.220 I feel like there's a good chance.

00:12:58.580 A really good chance.

00:12:59.820 And so that's why Sky News notes, if Putin sees this footage of him that we just showed

00:13:05.500 you, and I'm sure he will, what he'll conclude about the guy leading the world's biggest superpower

00:13:11.220 is that he's not in charge.

00:13:13.620 Well, Putin already knows it.

00:13:15.460 Putin spent four hours with him.

00:13:18.120 Putin's not going to be surprised by that footage.

00:13:20.000 Because I'll bet you the head-to-head meeting they had, it couldn't have gone spectacularly, right?

00:13:29.300 Because he's not capable of spectacularly anymore.

00:13:31.920 I think it could have gone spectacularly for Vladimir Putin.

00:13:35.520 Yes.

00:13:35.920 I think that's possible.

00:13:37.120 Yes.

00:13:37.900 It's going to have gone.

00:13:38.620 Sadly.

00:13:39.740 It's the way at least it feels.

00:13:42.140 I mean, I don't know.

00:13:43.200 Maybe we'll find out that behind closed doors, he's a totally different person.

00:13:48.000 But I don't believe it.

00:13:50.340 I mean, it's so often he's out in public at different times of the day, coming out of

00:13:55.080 a meeting, going into a meeting, just waking up, just before bedtime, middle of the day.

00:14:01.040 He always seems the same.

00:14:02.900 Mm-hmm.

00:14:03.280 Out of it.

00:14:04.120 Mm-hmm.

00:14:05.000 And even when he's, quote-unquote, on his game, it's still not impressive.

00:14:10.260 Right.

00:14:10.580 There's not a moment where he comes out and you're like, okay, all right, maybe he's okay.

00:14:15.240 He never looks fully capable.

00:14:16.440 No, he always seems like he's on the verge of a nap.

00:14:23.280 And I don't mean like, okay, I'm ready to take a nap.

00:14:25.700 I mean that three-second period right before you actually fall asleep, like where you're

00:14:31.060 so groggy and out of it.

00:14:32.980 Mm-hmm.

00:14:33.340 And if someone, you know, if someone walks in the room and starts talking to you, you're

00:14:36.060 like, whoa, whoa, wait, what?

00:14:38.860 What?

00:14:39.240 Wait, hold on.

00:14:40.160 Start over.

00:14:40.720 It's like that feeling all the time.

00:14:42.800 All the time.

00:14:43.920 Yep.

00:14:45.360 888-727-BECK.

00:14:47.400 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:52.700 Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:14:55.500 And so, even though the president not completely in control of his faculties, he's still trying

00:15:05.200 to tell us what to do as far as this vaccination situation.

00:15:08.720 Just, why don't you leave it to the, why don't you leave it to adults to make their own decision

00:15:13.240 and quit trying to force this issue?

00:15:15.240 Jen Psaki was talking about, they're going to go door-to-door and get Americans vaccinated

00:15:23.560 if they have to.

00:15:25.860 Here she is talking about that.

00:15:27.740 The president will outline five areas his team is focused on to get more Americans vaccinated.

00:15:33.340 One, targeted community-by-community door-to-door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated

00:15:38.940 by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine

00:15:43.360 is.

00:15:45.780 And then, later in the afternoon, Joe Biden talked about going community-by-community

00:15:51.460 to get people vaccinated and door-to-door.

00:15:53.540 A special focus on five ways to make gains in getting those of you who are unvaccinated

00:16:00.200 vaccinated.

00:16:01.960 Because here's the deal.

00:16:03.960 We are continuing to wind down the mass vaccination sites that did so much in the spring to rapidly

00:16:10.460 vaccinate those eager to get their first shot, and their second shot, for that matter, if

00:16:14.920 they needed a second.

00:16:16.440 Now we need to go to community-by-community, neighborhood-by-neighborhood.

00:16:20.380 And oft times, door-to-door, literally knocking on doors.

00:16:23.660 Literally knocking on doors.

00:16:24.860 To get help to the remaining people protected from the virus.

00:16:28.000 Is that necessary?

00:16:29.320 The United States government is going door-to-door like a pest control salesman or a guy who's

00:16:35.700 selling magazines and violating your no soliciting order in your HOA, and they're showing up

00:16:43.000 to vaccinate you?

00:16:44.020 Are they really going to do that?

00:16:48.200 I can't imagine it's going to be a widespread thing.

00:16:51.700 And it's not a good idea, obviously.

00:16:54.560 No.

00:16:54.820 You know, there is...

00:16:55.880 We kind of do get into this world where we think of people who aren't taking the vaccine

00:17:00.320 as people who are, you know, quote-unquote anti-vaxxers, right?

00:17:05.480 Like, some people don't want to take the vaccine.

00:17:07.440 That should be up to them.

00:17:08.280 That's totally fine.

00:17:09.100 And I haven't had it yet.

00:17:09.920 I'm not an anti-vaxxer.

00:17:11.460 I haven't decided if it's right for me yet.

00:17:15.720 I haven't...

00:17:16.140 You know, I'm a little turned off by some of the side effects I've heard about.

00:17:19.940 You know, just...

00:17:21.020 Even if it's just people getting sick for a day or two.

00:17:23.520 I don't really want to.

00:17:24.600 Right.

00:17:25.140 And that should be your choice, right?

00:17:28.140 There is a group of people within the group of people who are not a subgroup, if you would,

00:17:34.380 that is just like, you know, maybe elderly.

00:17:36.900 Maybe they don't have access.

00:17:38.360 They don't go to the doctor a lot.

00:17:39.680 There are a lot of people who just don't freaking go to the doctor.

00:17:42.600 Yeah.

00:17:42.700 I remember reading some poll about the percentage of people in America that never go to the

00:17:46.960 dentist.

00:17:47.560 And I was like, stunned.

00:17:49.960 It was so high.

00:17:50.800 It was like a quarter of people.

00:17:52.500 Really?

00:17:52.660 Yeah.

00:17:52.860 It's like super high.

00:17:54.300 So, you know, some people just don't do it.

00:17:56.220 Some people have like jobs and they're busy and these places aren't open.

00:18:00.580 You know, there is some level.

00:18:03.240 There's some percentage of people left that are convincible, right?

00:18:07.180 And, you know, you might want to...

00:18:08.940 I am.

00:18:09.520 Yeah.

00:18:09.780 I'm convincible still.

00:18:10.900 Exactly.

00:18:11.720 So, those people do exist.

00:18:14.100 This idea, though, that you're going to go door to door in a country...

00:18:17.600 That's going to turn me completely off.

00:18:18.860 Exactly.

00:18:19.340 It's like you're going to push against those people.

00:18:22.280 Right.

00:18:23.400 I mean, think about this.

00:18:25.000 If you're the Biden administration, right?

00:18:26.580 And you actually care.

00:18:29.220 Let's just say you actually care about getting people vaccinated and you look at the stature

00:18:32.280 and you're like, well, it seems to be people more in red states, more conservative leaning

00:18:35.380 that are not doing it at this point.

00:18:36.800 But the last thing you do is say, you know what we're going to do is, as the Biden administration,

00:18:43.040 let's have Jen Psaki tell everyone that she might show up to your door with a needle. 1.00

00:18:48.720 Like, obviously, they don't care about getting these people vaccinated.

00:18:52.260 It's not their priority.

00:18:53.320 I don't know what is, but it's got nothing to do with actually getting people the vaccine.

00:18:59.440 And they keep claiming that, but that does not seem to be their goal.

00:19:02.320 Certainly, you wouldn't do it this way if it was your goal.

00:19:05.620 No, absolutely not.

00:19:07.360 How many people are going to roll up their sleeve right then and there?

00:19:09.720 Say, yep, do it.

00:19:11.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:15.180 After a year unlike any other we've ever experienced, we all deserve, I don't know, a little bit of

00:19:25.180 of that and steal your identity.

00:19:27.100 You can help protect yourself online by being mindful of these online ads that you're watching,

00:19:31.960 really thinking about who's giving them to you, independently verified deals you're supposedly

00:19:37.480 getting.

00:19:38.540 And don't rush into giving away your information to suspicious sites.

00:20:43.280 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:20:45.740 He's back on Monday.

00:20:46.960 One quick point here on the vaccines and the fact that the media obviously doesn't care about

00:20:52.720 getting people vaccinated.

00:20:54.040 Yeah, this door-to-door thing is ridiculous.

00:20:56.060 It's ridiculous.

00:20:56.500 That's going to push people away from the vaccine. 0.93

00:20:59.600 You show up at the door with a needle?

00:21:02.740 I'm sorry.

00:21:03.700 I don't know where that's been.

00:21:05.120 I don't want anything to do with it.

00:21:06.880 See you later.

00:21:07.540 Yeah.

00:21:07.900 Bye-bye now.

00:21:08.800 One thing you could do is, I think, and they're not doing this so far,

00:21:13.480 but you could just get the vaccines to people's doctors, right?

00:21:17.820 One of the issues, I had a friend who was thinking about getting the vaccine.

00:21:22.020 They hadn't gotten it yet.

00:21:23.400 And they went to a doctor's appointment.

00:21:24.660 And the doctor was like, look, you should get it.

00:21:26.220 Get the vaccine.

00:21:27.000 Get it done.

00:21:27.360 I know it's annoying.

00:21:28.000 Just get it done.

00:21:28.620 And they were like, all right, what do I need to do?

00:21:31.240 And what they needed to do was leave the doctor's office and go on their phone

00:21:36.560 and set up an appointment for four days later and then drive over there.

00:21:40.980 They couldn't just do it right then?

00:21:41.300 Right.

00:21:41.600 Like, just get it in the hands of the freaking doctors who people trust, right?

00:21:44.700 Right.

00:21:45.280 Like, you know, their local doctor who's giving them the information.

00:21:48.440 That's one thing.

00:21:49.420 Another thing you could do, and this is more applicable to what we're talking about here,

00:21:53.000 which is, if you actually care, let's just say, let's just come up with a mythical world

00:22:00.620 where the priorities of the media and the government was to say, we want this pandemic to be over

00:22:08.560 and we want people to be vaccinated.

00:22:09.860 And the vaccines are great.

00:22:11.060 And we think this is the best thing that we can do.

00:22:13.220 Yeah.

00:22:13.400 We're going to put that above everything.

00:22:14.760 We're not going to, obviously, it's bigger than politics, right?

00:22:17.540 What you could do is have a concentrated effort to put a guy named Donald Trump on television

00:22:29.780 and all over the media to talk about how much the vaccines are a success story.

00:22:35.540 Can you imagine what that would do?

00:22:37.480 Yes.

00:22:38.080 It probably would make a big difference.

00:22:39.340 It would influence millions of people who are supporters of his and remind them that,

00:22:44.640 hey, he's the one that got this going.

00:22:46.760 Right.

00:22:47.200 It's his administration.

00:22:48.860 It's his accomplishment.

00:22:50.100 Yes.

00:22:50.460 By the way, it's not Biden's.

00:22:52.000 Donald Trump got the vaccine.

00:22:53.780 Yep.

00:22:54.240 I listened to Donald Trump on the Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton show.

00:22:58.520 They're in the Rush Limbaugh time slot.

00:23:00.700 And they had the president of the United States on the air.

00:23:03.380 Former.

00:23:03.980 Former.

00:23:04.480 Sorry, I should say.

00:23:05.060 Former.

00:23:05.260 You're right.

00:23:05.660 Former president of the United States.

00:23:06.680 And Jeffy, by the way.

00:23:07.520 Thank you, Jeff.

00:23:08.140 Thank you.

00:23:08.420 Chewing the fat podcast.

00:23:09.500 Joins us here.

00:23:10.120 I'm just a believer.

00:23:10.820 I mean, Joe Biden got more votes than anyone, my friend.

00:23:13.800 He's the president of the United States of America.

00:23:17.740 But like, you take the former president, and I was listening to him talk about the vaccines.

00:23:22.400 He sounds exactly the same way he did during the campaign.

00:23:25.640 A huge part of his re-election campaign was, hey, we're getting these vaccines done.

00:23:30.780 And a huge part of his legacy is having gotten the vaccine done.

00:23:34.620 Yeah.

00:23:35.100 In the time frame, he said it would get done.

00:23:38.000 Yeah.

00:23:38.480 Which is incredible.

00:23:39.200 And as he pointed out, again, the entire media said it was impossible, and he was lying about it.

00:23:45.700 Right.

00:23:45.940 Okay.

00:23:46.120 So let's just say, like, I know you have this ban on the president.

00:23:49.880 I know you can't bring him on when asking him about denouncing white supremacy or whatever weird thing you feel like you have to do every time he comes on.

00:23:56.720 How about don't do any of that?

00:23:58.340 How about have a nice softball interview where you say to Donald Trump, hey, guess what, Don?

00:24:03.640 It would work.

00:24:04.480 Yes, it would.

00:24:05.240 Mr. President, you came up, you were able to shepherd these.

00:24:08.640 Think about this approach.

00:24:09.600 If CNN was on the air, if all the news networks and the president of the United States went and said, you know what, Mr. President, we have a lot of disagreements.

00:24:19.220 But look, you did an incredible thing here where you pushed these things through.

00:24:22.840 You were able to create an environment where things occurred that have never occurred in human history that you have wiped out with these vaccines.

00:24:35.200 We could wipe this pandemic off the planet, and you're the guy who shepherded that process through.

00:24:40.800 Instead, what they've done is say there was no plan.

00:24:43.680 There was no plan at all.

00:24:45.380 We had no idea.

00:24:46.240 We came in here.

00:24:46.900 There's boxes of vaccines.

00:24:48.380 They were even going to be mailed.

00:24:49.680 They just completely lied because they wanted to win politics more than they cared about whether people lived or died.

00:24:57.020 And they could really ignore everything that happened before and just say, here's Donald Trump.

00:25:02.100 Donald Trump helped get this thing done.

00:25:04.460 And Donald Trump, what do you think about the vaccines?

00:25:06.680 And he could just do it.

00:25:07.580 And they don't have to say anything about it.

00:25:09.540 They don't have to go backwards.

00:25:10.940 They don't have to talk about January 6th.

00:25:12.560 Just go forward.

00:25:13.420 They don't have to talk about what you just said.

00:25:15.020 That would never happen.

00:25:15.920 Biden could never say that.

00:25:17.160 Not in a million years.

00:25:18.580 It would not happen.

00:25:19.200 And neither could one single soul on CNN.

00:25:22.420 They couldn't even bring themselves.

00:25:23.640 Let Donald Trump come in there and say, you know what?

00:25:26.040 You guys lied about me the entire time.

00:25:28.200 And these vaccines were a success.

00:25:29.880 And you guys were wrong.

00:25:31.140 And let him say every terrible thing.

00:25:33.260 Because obviously, you care about people getting the vaccine.

00:25:35.780 You care about getting it, right?

00:25:36.840 You care about the vaccine.

00:25:37.960 So you know they don't.

00:25:39.180 You're going to put the pandemic above your personal pride, right, guys?

00:25:42.980 Except no, they're not.

00:25:44.100 And they would not even consider it.

00:25:46.680 And you played his, you know, we continue to play clips of Joseph Robinette Biden struggling to say anything.

00:25:55.860 And I see where there's a new study done, a new survey of 1,000 likely voters from the Convention of States and the Trafalgar Group.

00:26:05.120 56.5% of American voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing his duties in office.

00:26:13.160 56.5%.

00:26:13.920 Wow.

00:26:14.860 That's amazing.

00:26:15.580 Okay.

00:26:16.200 56.5%.

00:26:17.640 Of American voters.

00:26:19.100 You can't get to 56.5% with just Democrats, guys.

00:26:21.800 No, you can't.

00:26:22.420 You can't do that.

00:26:23.000 No, you cannot.

00:26:23.980 It's just amazing.

00:26:25.780 So that's not just Republicans saying, yeah, he's not fully executing.

00:26:30.160 That's Democrats, Republicans, independents.

00:26:32.640 I'd like to know, because I'll bet, you know, there's a huge portion of, I don't know.

00:26:40.660 You know, there's a lot of Jeffies out there who, I don't know. 1.00

00:26:43.580 I don't know.

00:26:44.680 So what is it, like 56.5 to 20 to 19 who think he's fully executing his job, his responsibility?

00:26:53.060 Does it say?

00:26:53.860 Well, 36.4% believe he is directing all policy and agenda.

00:26:59.760 That's higher than I would have guessed.

00:27:00.800 31.7% Democrat voters do not believe.

00:27:05.780 That's incredible.

00:27:07.280 I know.

00:27:07.980 Wow.

00:27:09.160 I know.

00:27:10.040 That's incredible.

00:27:10.760 You know, you got 83.6% of Republican voters that don't believe he's doing it.

00:27:15.080 I would say that's a little low.

00:27:16.720 Yeah.

00:27:17.120 I mean, that seems a little low.

00:27:18.460 And 58, a little over 58% of independent voters do not believe he's fully executing his job.

00:27:25.240 That's remarkable.

00:27:26.120 I mean, and I don't see how you come to another conclusion other than you just, you know, you're hoping.

00:27:31.440 You're a Democrat.

00:27:32.160 You voted for him.

00:27:32.880 You're hoping.

00:27:33.620 Or you just watch CNN, which doesn't cover any of it.

00:27:37.520 You know, you only.

00:27:38.540 That's true.

00:27:39.060 In your little sphere, all you see is what reinforces your point of view.

00:27:43.440 And if that's what you do, then you don't understand that the guy is in serious cognitive decline.

00:27:49.420 Yeah.

00:27:49.780 I mean, no question.

00:27:50.660 I mean, he does not wearing his pants backwards like the previous president, Donald Trump.

00:27:55.880 But he could barely.

00:27:57.120 Been disproven, by the way.

00:28:00.620 I mean, he just struggles every day.

00:28:02.980 And I would say that, you know, you talked about the notes in his jacket pocket being the same.

00:28:08.140 I don't know.

00:28:08.760 Doesn't he carry the names of all the, you know, the names of dead soldiers and the deaths.

00:28:14.620 Oh, that's what he claimed.

00:28:15.600 Yeah.

00:28:16.000 Didn't he claim that?

00:28:16.620 The deaths of the coronavirus in the one pocket.

00:28:19.080 He didn't seem to have that in either pocket, though.

00:28:21.780 I don't know.

00:28:22.980 It seemed like the other note.

00:28:24.620 He didn't mention.

00:28:25.520 He didn't pull the first one out and go, oh, these are the numbers that I carry with me every day.

00:28:30.640 No, he didn't.

00:28:31.280 No, he did not mention that.

00:28:32.380 So it's probably the exact same note.

00:28:36.680 I'm sure it is.

00:28:37.520 Absolutely.

00:28:38.140 Sad.

00:28:38.920 Also, dreams do come true.

00:28:41.540 Here, as long as we're doing a little Chewing the Fat segment, I want you to know dreams do come true.

00:28:45.960 Michaela Kennedy Cuomo, 23, came out on Instagram.

00:28:49.780 And, you know, the daughter of your man.

00:28:52.400 You know him.

00:28:52.860 You love him.

00:28:53.420 Andrew Cuomo.

00:28:54.180 Andrew Cuomo is awful.

00:28:56.300 Dot com.

00:28:56.840 Yes.

00:28:57.900 Is his last name dot com?

00:28:59.760 I think it is.

00:29:00.460 It must be.

00:29:00.940 Every time I hear Andrew Cuomo is awful.

00:29:02.640 So Cuomo is his middle name.

00:29:03.940 And then dot com is his last name.

00:29:04.960 Andrew Cuomo is awful dot com.

00:29:07.200 That's the way it works.

00:29:07.860 All right.

00:29:08.420 She she came out last month as queer. 1.00

00:29:12.780 But now.

00:29:14.100 Really?

00:29:14.600 Yeah.

00:29:14.880 Now has declared herself a demisexual. 0.92

00:29:18.240 Wait, hold on.

00:29:18.700 Because I thought also she had come out previously.

00:29:21.380 Do you have the whole transition?

00:29:22.760 I do.

00:29:23.060 OK.

00:29:23.280 Walk us through this.

00:29:24.180 This is pretty interesting.

00:29:25.140 OK.

00:29:25.420 So in elementary school, she feared that she was lesbian.

00:29:29.860 And that's the way she phrased it.

00:29:31.020 Wait, she feared?

00:29:32.020 I don't know why she feared it.

00:29:33.020 What kind of hate monger is this person?

00:29:35.580 Yeah.

00:29:35.980 That is the way she phrased it.

00:29:36.920 She feared.

00:29:37.760 So you have to assume that I guess before that she was either straight or nothing.

00:29:42.320 Right.

00:29:42.620 Right.

00:29:42.820 She's a little kid.

00:29:43.480 Elementary school.

00:29:44.380 So she hits elementary school.

00:29:45.700 She's like, oh, my gosh, I'm terrified.

00:29:47.880 I might be.

00:29:48.340 I might be lesbian. 1.00

00:29:49.400 OK.

00:29:49.620 Right.

00:29:50.100 Wow.

00:29:50.400 And a lot of kids in elementary school think in those terms.

00:29:53.860 Oh, man.

00:29:54.200 A lot of kids are like, I think I might be a lesbian.

00:29:56.480 Happens all the time.

00:29:57.500 Very common.

00:29:58.200 Then in middle school, she came out to family and close friends as bisexual.

00:30:03.320 OK.

00:30:03.440 So there's the third thing that she is.

00:30:05.400 She's bisexual in elementary school.

00:30:07.680 Then when she was in high school.

00:30:09.380 High school.

00:30:09.900 She discovered pansexuality.

00:30:12.060 OK.

00:30:12.520 Pansexual.

00:30:12.920 So she has sex with everything. 1.00

00:30:14.280 That's the flag for me.

00:30:16.180 No, I think pansexual, if I understand it correctly.

00:30:19.180 And, Jeffy, I know you'd probably be the expert on this, but let me attempt it.

00:30:22.500 Pansexual means that basically you don't care about whether it's a guy or a girl.

00:30:26.400 Correct.

00:30:26.640 Like you're just going to like whatever, whatever.

00:30:28.560 If you meet someone, you like them, you go for it.

00:30:30.680 You don't think about it.

00:30:31.600 You're not attracted to either one.

00:30:32.940 But that's almost anything.

00:30:33.940 Right.

00:30:34.260 And now she recently learned.

00:30:35.880 It's not limited to just men or women, I think.

00:30:38.240 Right.

00:30:38.660 Right.

00:30:39.100 Right.

00:30:39.280 But where bisexual is, you are attracted to both.

00:30:44.080 Yes.

00:30:44.440 Pansexual is you're not necessarily attracted to either. 0.51

00:30:46.680 It's just, you're just attracted to the individual.

00:30:50.020 And you're not necessarily not attracted to everything either.

00:30:54.500 Right.

00:30:55.280 So you might be attracted to absolutely everything.

00:30:58.760 Or nothing.

00:30:59.100 Or nothing.

00:30:59.880 Or nothing.

00:31:00.340 Or nothing.

00:31:01.120 You can't be pinned.

00:31:01.780 And then she came out as queer. 0.99

00:31:03.480 Yeah.

00:31:03.800 Queer. 0.99

00:31:04.180 OK.

00:31:04.620 Now what difference between now, Jeffy?

00:31:06.260 And now she's demisexual. 1.00

00:31:07.540 Demi.

00:31:08.300 Demisexual.

00:31:09.000 Yeah.

00:31:09.180 Demi-sexual.

00:31:10.580 What is demisexual?

00:31:11.320 That is people only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond.

00:31:18.020 I think this is interesting.

00:31:19.560 Because.

00:31:20.040 I think I'm demisexual, too.

00:31:21.640 I think demisexual is the way we're supposed to be.

00:31:25.600 Mm-hmm.

00:31:25.960 Right?

00:31:26.280 Yes.

00:31:26.700 Now, I think, like, when you talk about sexual attraction, I can look at, you know,

00:31:32.200 some movie star and say, wow, she's hot. 1.00

00:31:35.260 Right?

00:31:35.720 Without having an emotional bond with her.

00:31:38.500 Yes.

00:31:38.900 Right?

00:31:39.220 Or he.

00:31:39.560 In my, I'm saying in my particular case.

00:31:41.220 OK.

00:31:41.800 I might say.

00:31:43.300 But, like, I, so you, she's saying you can't be attracted visually.

00:31:48.660 You can only be attracted via emotional bond.

00:31:52.000 Right.

00:31:52.720 So, it's not exactly the way that I think everybody is, but it's a good element of a relationship.

00:31:57.860 Yes, it is.

00:31:58.360 I think you should say.

00:31:58.700 Now, this is where her dreams have actually come true.

00:32:00.600 Because she said in this interview that she has always dreamed of a world in which nobody

00:32:06.080 will have to come out.

00:32:07.880 Me, too.

00:32:08.340 Oh, my gosh.

00:32:09.020 Me, too.

00:32:09.380 I think the dream has come true.

00:32:10.800 That's my aspiration.

00:32:11.740 You're there.

00:32:11.940 You've arrived.

00:32:12.180 I think you have.

00:32:13.620 You've arrived.

00:32:14.560 You don't have to worry about it anymore.

00:32:16.120 She claims that nobody has to come out because everybody's sexuality will be assumed fluid.

00:32:22.620 That's a different formulation.

00:32:25.220 In the world that we live in now, it force feeds cisgender heterosexuality. 0.58

00:32:30.500 Yes, I hate that.

00:32:31.180 Coming out of the closet is a lifelong process of unpacking internalized social constructions

00:32:38.360 and stigmas.

00:32:38.840 How many times have I said exactly the same thing?

00:32:41.420 How many times?

00:32:42.660 I can't count.

00:32:43.460 If I've said it once.

00:32:45.140 You've said it.

00:32:45.680 Well, that's the time you've said it.

00:32:47.220 But I haven't.

00:32:48.440 No.

00:32:49.200 But if I had said it once.

00:32:51.300 This is why I keep hearing this mainly from the very warm videos produced by giant corporations

00:32:59.800 like Procter & Gamble who say like, love is love.

00:33:03.680 Let us give you a two-minute pride video about that. 0.51

00:33:06.260 Yes.

00:33:06.420 And at the end of one of these I watched last week, it said like, we just want to get to

00:33:10.000 this point where we don't need to talk about this anymore.

00:33:12.180 We're just, you know, you've arrived.

00:33:14.920 Congratulations.

00:33:15.820 You know, because they say like, oh, well, we wanted to come out and then we realized

00:33:20.620 people were going to be judging us.

00:33:22.400 And obviously that means evil conservatives like us, right?

00:33:25.560 That would be judging us.

00:33:27.000 Here's the thing.

00:33:27.820 We're not judging you.

00:33:28.660 We don't want to hear about it.

00:33:29.700 We don't need to hear about it.

00:33:30.560 You can do whatever you want to do on your own.

00:33:32.100 I don't want to hear word one about it.

00:33:33.600 And you've arrived at this incredible world you desire.

00:33:37.100 This oasis that you've been trying to get to this entire time where you just don't have

00:33:42.040 to tell anybody about it.

00:33:43.220 We don't have to hear about it.

00:33:44.420 Don't feel like you have to tell us.

00:33:45.660 We don't need to know.

00:33:46.840 I'm sorry.

00:33:47.380 If we, if we conveyed to you that we wanted to hear about this stuff, that's our mistake.

00:33:51.860 We don't.

00:33:52.760 We don't.

00:33:53.600 We never did.

00:33:54.620 Dreams do come true, Steve.

00:33:57.720 By the way, they do come true every day.

00:33:59.460 I'm chewing the fat with Jeffy.

00:34:01.580 Listen to the podcast.

00:34:04.360 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:06.640 Things are going so well right now.

00:34:08.100 You noticed?

00:34:09.140 Really going, really going well.

00:34:11.880 President Biden the other day said, I don't want to answer your Afghanistan questions.

00:34:16.400 I'm in my happy place where we need to talk about happy times.

00:34:21.340 Because it was the 4th of July weekend and things were so happy.

00:34:24.680 Well, he thought people were going to save 16 cents on their 4th of July meals, which

00:34:29.300 is really a happy place.

00:34:30.880 Until you go to the grocery store and actually try to buy food.

00:34:34.440 And then you find out it's not such a happy place.

00:34:37.900 And the prices are not exactly what the White House told us they were.

00:34:42.800 He says you.

00:34:43.880 I mean, I've got 16 cents jingling around in my pocket right now.

00:34:46.520 Do you?

00:34:46.660 Yeah.

00:34:47.200 So, congratulations.

00:34:48.940 So, to me, life is good.

00:34:50.680 What are you going to do with that?

00:34:52.100 I was going to invest.

00:34:53.640 If I had gotten the 16 cents in savings, I was going to go buy some Bitcoin.

00:34:57.860 Oh, really?

00:34:58.460 16 cents worth.

00:34:59.380 I'm going to take it and put it into index funds.

00:35:03.200 Index funds?

00:35:03.880 Yeah.

00:35:04.020 I want to make sure.

00:35:04.840 That's a good choice.

00:35:04.940 I want to take a safe, conservative approach here.

00:35:07.400 Because this is money.

00:35:09.260 You don't see this sort of money every day.

00:35:11.320 That's true.

00:35:11.700 This is life-changing cash.

00:35:13.180 That is true.

00:35:13.980 So, I'm going to put one nickel in an ETF.

00:35:17.000 I put the dime over in a mutual fund.

00:35:20.740 And then the penny.

00:35:22.100 I might put the penny into a cryptocurrency.

00:35:25.940 I might try just to be crazy with one penny of it.

00:35:29.100 Yeah.

00:35:29.420 All right.

00:35:30.480 Well, good luck on that.

00:35:31.440 Thanks.

00:35:33.100 Gas prices?

00:35:34.820 A little higher than they have been.

00:35:36.960 Well, in the last seven years is all, though.

00:35:40.200 So.

00:35:42.940 Also, most major institutions in the country telling us that America is irredeemably racist, sexist, and exploitative.

00:35:54.840 We got the 1619 Project, which is infecting our American school systems. 0.98

00:36:00.900 Everything is going.

00:36:01.540 The critical race theory just being jammed down our children's throats.

00:36:05.440 Things are going really well right now.

00:36:06.800 I think the Democrats have this on a really good trajectory.

00:36:10.840 So, I'm definitely in a happy place with Joe as we head into the middle of summer here.

00:36:20.360 A 888-727-BECK. 0.95

00:36:23.440 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:30.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:32.720 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:37.480 888-727-BECK.

00:36:41.600 When did you first hear, Stu, about CRT, critical race theory?

00:36:47.480 When did you first become aware of it?

00:36:48.940 Well, we've talked about a lot of these issues around it, you know, because it's very tied

00:36:55.540 into what we've talked to on this show many times as social justice.

00:36:59.860 Yes.

00:37:00.220 But it was always an element of that black liberation theology.

00:37:04.320 It's all sort of intertwined.

00:37:06.080 But as a prominent term in our culture, it's pretty recent.

00:37:09.280 Yeah.

00:37:09.720 It seems like the last year, maybe?

00:37:12.960 Maybe at the most?

00:37:14.560 Well, big companies like Raytheon have apparently been, they've had programs in place to encourage

00:37:24.120 their white employees, to confront their privilege, and reject the principle of equality, and

00:37:31.020 to defund the police.

00:37:32.680 They've been teaching that since last summer.

00:37:34.800 We'll get into that, tell you about that, coming up in 60 seconds.

00:37:47.140 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:37:48.660 He'll be back on Monday.

00:37:50.200 Raytheon, another gigantic American corporation that is involved in critical race theory, or

00:38:01.740 CRT, as we call it for short.

00:38:04.440 And apparently, they're taking their white employees to school.

00:38:08.540 So, that's great.

00:38:10.920 That's great.

00:38:11.600 You could tell that the left is not enjoying the way this is playing out, because they're

00:38:15.660 doing all the typical things that people on the left do in these situations, which is

00:38:19.780 deny, it's not really what we mean, you're using the term incorrectly, it's not really

00:38:26.860 happening, these things that you say are so bad, when their former position was these things

00:38:31.760 are not bad, these are good.

00:38:33.560 Yeah.

00:38:33.780 Right?

00:38:34.080 Now they're realizing the pushback, I think, from the American people.

00:38:36.540 They've run up against that wall a little bit with this stuff.

00:38:39.340 And so, they're saying things like, well, it's not really critical race theory, it's just

00:38:43.780 intersectionality, they're very closely related, as we all know, intersectionality essentially

00:38:50.940 would be an element that is required to discuss critical race theory.

00:38:55.760 Well, for instance, have you confronted your privilege yet?

00:38:59.500 Have you confronted it?

00:39:00.720 I have.

00:39:01.620 You have?

00:39:02.280 Yep.

00:39:02.840 Mm-hmm.

00:39:03.220 Okay.

00:39:03.740 Yeah.

00:39:04.180 And confronting it...

00:39:06.140 It ran the other way.

00:39:07.140 It did?

00:39:07.600 Yeah.

00:39:07.920 Good.

00:39:08.440 So, you don't have your privilege anymore.

00:39:10.120 I've just scared it away.

00:39:11.300 You scared it away.

00:39:12.120 Good.

00:39:12.560 That's how you do it.

00:39:13.160 When you confront it, you just got to confront it, come out from behind a door or something

00:39:16.920 when it's walking.

00:39:17.600 And so, like, maybe it's on its phone.

00:39:18.940 Yeah.

00:39:19.200 And then you jump out and you make a really loud noise and it runs away.

00:39:21.780 Oh, okay.

00:39:22.240 And then you don't have any more privilege.

00:39:24.420 All right.

00:39:25.000 That's the way it works.

00:39:26.240 Okay.

00:39:26.720 So, you identified and scared away your privilege.

00:39:29.000 Mm-hmm.

00:39:29.640 Have you stepped aside for minority voices yet?

00:39:33.480 You need to step aside.

00:39:34.820 No.

00:39:35.380 No, you haven't done that.

00:39:36.200 I'm not going to step aside really for anybody.

00:39:38.640 Mm-hmm.

00:39:39.160 I'm going to...

00:39:40.400 Well, these minority voices, though, Stu, are more important than your own.

00:39:47.660 So, you kind of need to step aside for them.

00:39:51.620 Understanding what we're doing is encouraging people to listen to others based on their skin

00:39:57.600 color.

00:39:58.200 Yes.

00:39:58.760 Exactly right.

00:39:58.780 Now, has there ever been an example of this being utilized and turned out poorly?

00:40:05.420 Has there ever...

00:40:06.580 Yes.

00:40:07.380 Really?

00:40:07.660 Yes, there's many examples of that, but we're ignoring those now?

00:40:10.700 Oh, we're going to ignore them.

00:40:11.480 Yeah, we're ignoring them.

00:40:12.340 Okay, good.

00:40:13.100 Yeah.

00:40:13.360 Because I had this idea, and it's been sort of foundational to me for quite a long time,

00:40:19.840 which is never, ever, in your entire life, make any decision based on skin color.

00:40:27.040 Really?

00:40:27.220 Never.

00:40:27.540 Not once.

00:40:28.200 Not even one time in your life should you make any decision based on skin color.

00:40:33.560 Old think is what that is.

00:40:34.800 That's old think.

00:40:35.540 Okay.

00:40:35.660 Yeah.

00:40:36.120 Not the appropriate way to go about it anymore.

00:40:37.680 Not appropriate anymore.

00:40:38.800 Got it.

00:40:39.300 No.

00:40:39.580 And by the way, we should point out, Raytheon is our second largest defense contractor.

00:40:44.780 Yes.

00:40:45.500 They should be thinking about building giant missiles.

00:40:49.980 Yes.

00:40:50.380 And planes.

00:40:51.660 Right.

00:40:51.780 Things that blow other things up.

00:40:53.580 Mm-hmm.

00:40:53.760 Focus on that.

00:40:54.760 That's really important.

00:40:57.980 Intersectionality should not be the focus of Raytheon.

00:41:00.760 And why is it?

00:41:03.280 It's just so bizarre.

00:41:05.120 And we're supposed to reject, according to Raytheon and their program, they're telling

00:41:09.040 employees to reject the notion of equality and instead strive for equity.

00:41:18.180 Yeah.

00:41:18.860 Can you walk us through the difference between equality and equity, Stu?

00:41:23.160 Sure.

00:41:23.620 I can.

00:41:24.260 As Chris Ruffo, who was initially reported this, as he seems to be doing all the time,

00:41:29.040 Raytheon explicitly instructs employees to oppose equality, defined as, quote, quote,

00:41:35.200 treating each person the same, regardless of their differences.

00:41:40.460 Right.

00:41:41.100 Reject that.

00:41:42.140 Yeah.

00:41:42.360 That's old.

00:41:42.840 Again, old think.

00:41:44.060 And instead strive for equity, which, quote, focuses on the equality of the outcome.

00:41:50.700 End quote.

00:41:51.160 I love that.

00:41:51.820 Do you remember when, like, the conservative attack against the left-wing philosophy was

00:41:57.760 to say, hey, we all want equality.

00:42:01.320 We just want equality of opportunity.

00:42:03.320 They want equality of outcome.

00:42:04.880 And the left would be like, what?

00:42:06.100 What?

00:42:06.500 How dare you say that?

00:42:08.340 That's not true.

00:42:09.480 That's not what we want.

00:42:11.060 Now they admit it.

00:42:11.840 Now they admit it.

00:42:12.460 It's exactly what they want.

00:42:13.640 Of course it's what they want.

00:42:15.140 And that's what equity is.

00:42:17.320 This word, which sounds like the other word, but is not the other word.

00:42:21.440 Equality and equity are different things.

00:42:23.400 Big time.

00:42:23.740 And so this is essentially Marxism they're talking about, because they want to guarantee

00:42:29.480 the outcome.

00:42:31.140 Or at least theoretical Marxism.

00:42:33.160 Of course, Marxism in reality has no such thing as equality of outcome.

00:42:38.120 Except that everybody comes out poorly.

00:42:41.800 Everyone comes out poorly, except for the ruling class, which has a pretty sweet life.

00:42:46.160 Certainly different groups.

00:42:47.920 Ask the Uyghurs if communism provides equality of outcome. 1.00

00:42:51.920 Well, you can't, because they're in concentration camps.

00:42:55.440 Oh yeah, it's difficult to get to them at this point.

00:42:57.500 They're in thousands of concentration camps spread throughout the country.

00:43:01.940 But yeah, it does not actually provide such things, but it is theoretically providing

00:43:06.260 those things.

00:43:07.660 Chris Ruffo writes, finally, in a collection of recommended resources, the company encourages

00:43:13.080 white employees to, quote, defund the police, end quote, quote, this is a defense contractor.

00:43:21.180 We should defund the police.

00:43:22.620 I love this.

00:43:23.160 Also, quote, participate in reparations, decolonize your bookshelf, and something that I will personally

00:43:31.080 guarantee that I will never, ever in my life ever do, quote, join a local white space.

00:43:39.300 Now, what is a white space?

00:43:41.000 Yeah.

00:43:41.380 It seems to be a collection of white people who talk about their whiteness. 0.61

00:43:47.940 That, their whites, like, for example, let me just give you a theoretical, real world. 1.00

00:43:52.440 And you all talk about how bad you are as white people?

00:43:54.380 Well, talk about your whiteness, and understand, and think about your race all the time. 0.92

00:43:57.640 Something like, they used to have these groups, people wore hoods to the meetings, and they

00:44:03.000 were great, I'm sure.

00:44:04.300 Where Robert Byrd was a big member, big proponent of local white spaces. 0.60

00:44:08.440 Huh.

00:44:08.960 Yeah, that was something that used to happen among Democrats all the time, and now they

00:44:13.540 want to bring it back.

00:44:14.520 Isn't that wonderful?

00:44:15.900 You know, the Democrats brought us the KKK, and now we have local white spaces, which are 0.68

00:44:20.400 totally different than the KKK, in that they're also white people getting together to talk about

00:44:26.520 the race all the time.

00:44:27.480 I guess the fact that they're saying they're the bad race, instead of another race being

00:44:32.420 bad, is some sort of improvement, but I would say, not a concept worth revisiting.

00:44:40.220 Not a fixable one, you know, Pat?

00:44:43.280 Sometimes you get to the point where you're just like, you know what, let's not try it,

00:44:46.000 let's say, fascism.

00:44:47.480 Let's not remix it and see what we can come up with and try it again.

00:44:51.100 Let's just skip it.

00:44:52.200 Let's just rule it out.

00:44:54.000 KKK, let's just rule it out.

00:44:56.460 Let's just take it out.

00:44:57.160 Let's not try to fix it.

00:44:58.440 Let's not try to come up with a different way of doing a local white space. 0.55

00:45:01.380 Let's get rid of them entirely.

00:45:03.200 Sounds like the right approach to me.

00:45:05.220 Yeah, it does.

00:45:06.160 It does.

00:45:07.180 And this is so constant right now.

00:45:11.100 Raytheon, again, this is not, I don't know, to use some example, like Starbucks, right?

00:45:16.840 Like some left-wing organization, some left-wing company, I don't know, some like organic,

00:45:22.920 you know, buy local hemp salesman, you know, coming up with a seminar like this.

00:45:32.060 This is a freaking defense contractor.

00:45:33.980 Yeah.

00:45:34.200 Second largest in the country after Lockheed Martin.

00:45:37.240 It's pretty amazing.

00:45:39.840 Now, one thing you should stay away from.

00:45:41.520 First of all, one thing you need to do, Pat.

00:45:43.260 I want to make sure we understand what you need to do, what you need to stay away from.

00:45:45.940 You need to, according to the Raytheon internal documents, you need to think about telling your,

00:45:51.300 think about telling your employees to do this.

00:45:53.920 You have to, quote, identify everyone's race.

00:45:58.320 Now, your employees, if they spend a minute trying to identify every other employee's race,

00:46:06.000 what you should do with that employee is fire them immediately.

00:46:10.040 Get them the hell out of your company.

00:46:12.660 If you have employees that are taking time out of your workday to figure out and like, what, document everyone's race?

00:46:19.760 Pat, has there ever been a historical example where a group of people documenting others' race has turned out poorly?

00:46:29.160 Has that ever gone the wrong way?

00:46:33.800 Like, if you were to make a giant list of people and try to figure out, like, I don't know what percentage black they are,

00:46:40.600 what percentage Jewish they are, but let's just say, in a theoretical world, could that turn out poorly?

00:46:48.120 Oh, wow.

00:46:52.620 In the last 15 minutes, I can't think of a situation like that.

00:46:59.420 If I was to go back, maybe, I don't know, into the sort of early to mid last century,

00:47:07.620 I could possibly think of a place or two where maybe that occurred.

00:47:12.140 Okay, okay.

00:47:12.800 So there is maybe one, but we shouldn't probably think about it and learn anything from it, right?

00:47:16.440 No.

00:47:16.660 Okay, how about you must listen to the experience of marginalized identities and give those with such identities the floor on meetings or on calls,

00:47:27.600 even if it means silencing yourself.

00:47:30.160 So let's say you have a really good idea for a missile.

00:47:33.220 Okay.

00:47:33.800 But, you know, a Mongolian person is in the room, a Mongolian-American, and they say, you know what?

00:47:40.620 I, as a Mongolian-American, I am oppressed.

00:47:44.260 I believe the missiles should be shot with slingshots.

00:47:47.380 Let me have the floor for, let's say, an hour.

00:47:50.200 Okay.

00:47:50.460 What you should do is silence yourself and your rocket propulsion technology and say, you know, we got to go slingshots.

00:47:57.200 Because, look, they are a marginalized group, and that's your job. 0.94

00:48:01.220 And that would be part of deconstructing my privilege, wouldn't it?

00:48:05.000 It would be.

00:48:05.540 And understanding how white male behavior is devastating to racial minorities.

00:48:10.500 Right.

00:48:10.740 And in that situation where you're, you know, you're suppressing your own idea for theirs, why, you've done a good thing there.

00:48:20.640 Yeah.

00:48:21.100 There you go.

00:48:21.680 You've done a good thing.

00:48:22.420 And I think we could look at this at three different levels here, Pat, right?

00:48:25.380 The level of, like, higher education, university teaching, should critical race theory be discussed?

00:48:30.600 Like, I don't want my kid necessarily, I don't want to pay to send my kid to a place where they're going to learn about that.

00:48:35.160 But, you know what?

00:48:36.020 Academic discussion, whatever.

00:48:37.540 You can do whatever you want.

00:48:38.220 It shouldn't be banned, certainly.

00:48:39.360 Although, I wouldn't want to send my kid to a school that was doing it.

00:48:42.640 Secondarily, you have this level, right?

00:48:44.280 Raytheon.

00:48:45.300 Companies.

00:48:46.480 Would I want to work at a company?

00:48:48.100 Would I want to invest in a company?

00:48:49.700 Would I want to, if I was running a company, do this sort of nonsense and teach critical race theory or something similar to it to my employees?

00:48:59.520 I would say, absolutely not.

00:49:00.900 Should it be banned?

00:49:01.860 No.

00:49:02.300 I mean, I think if Raytheon wants to freaking waste their people's time with this nonsense, I don't think you can ban it.

00:49:09.360 You know, we live in a country where people should be able to do these things if they want to.

00:49:13.960 However, horrible idea.

00:49:16.520 The next level, though, is the one we're talking about more frequently, which is, should these be taught in public schools to K to 12?

00:49:23.780 Right?

00:49:24.460 And that, should that be banned?

00:49:26.060 Sure it should.

00:49:27.420 Absolutely should not be taught to kids K to 12.

00:49:30.240 And so, the defense there from the left has been what, this is what Vox's framing of it was last week.

00:49:37.000 Many Republican lawmakers cite critical race theory as a reason to ban discussions about racism in schools.

00:49:41.600 First of all, I've never heard that before.

00:49:43.520 I've never heard a Republican say anything like that.

00:49:46.020 No one says that they don't want to discuss racism in schools.

00:49:49.280 No one says they want to say, you know what?

00:49:50.740 Let's present slavery positively. 0.99

00:49:52.840 I've never, I went through the whole school system in public schools, never did I hear word one that racism was good.

00:49:59.160 Never did I hear word one that slavery was kind of a positive.

00:50:04.940 Never taught.

00:50:06.300 But they say, the way they frame it is Republicans are trying to ban discussion of racism in schools, which is not at all what's going on.

00:50:13.540 And then they say, though, there's little evidence that the framework of critical race theory is even being taught in K through 12 schools.

00:50:20.100 So, it's not a bad thing, but even if it were being taught, even if it were a bad thing, it's not actually being taught in K to 12 schools.

00:50:27.160 Here are two stories from just the past week.

00:50:30.580 The nation's largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts.

00:50:40.560 Does that sound like a K to 12 problem?

00:50:45.380 Does to me.

00:50:46.840 Ibram X.

00:50:47.820 Kendi, the guy who wrote anti-racist, how to become an anti-racist and anti-racist baby.

00:50:53.880 He is scheduled to speak Wednesday at the American Federation of Teachers Teach Conference.

00:51:01.300 This is absolutely a massive issue here.

00:51:05.520 And it should be thought about and it should be out of our schools.

00:51:09.580 If we're going, you want to have a, you want to start your own private school where you teach kids a critical race theory and kids pay their own money to go to it and blah, blah, blah.

00:51:18.540 That is allowed in the United States of America, even if we don't like it.

00:51:21.980 However, public schools, absolutely not.

00:51:24.500 And skates absolutely have the right to put standards on what is taught in the curriculum of their schools.

00:51:29.840 Of course they do.

00:51:31.120 Of course they do.

00:51:31.980 The federal government doesn't have much of a role in it, but the state government does.

00:51:36.320 And the local governments do even more.

00:51:39.380 And the idea that this is just a non-issue because Democrats find it to be unpopular and they realize they're on the wrong side of the polls on it does not mean it goes away.

00:51:47.360 Yeah.

00:51:47.620 61% of Americans don't want critical race theory taught in their schools.

00:51:52.680 61%.

00:51:53.120 888-727-BECK.

00:51:55.260 All right, spring and into summer.

00:51:59.460 That's where we are.

00:52:00.680 In Texas, that means, of course, it's 947,000 degrees every day.

00:52:04.420 But no matter where you are, if you're at a really nice place or a really hot place, you want to have a Rectech.

00:52:09.240 Why?

00:52:09.600 Because grilling is part of summer.

00:52:12.160 And Rectech does this better than anybody.

00:52:15.400 But it also means if you happen to be in an area where it is 174 degrees and you don't want to be above your grill thinking about it just over it the entire time, Rectech, you can control this from inside your air-conditioned house on your phone.

00:52:28.760 Make sure everything is cooked perfectly remotely while you're watching golf, you're watching TV.

00:52:34.980 You don't have to think about it at all.

00:52:36.880 It's all being grilled perfectly.

00:52:38.060 Go out, scoop it up, bring it back inside the air-conditioning and enjoy it.

00:52:41.200 That's what Rectech brings to you.

00:52:43.000 Perfect cooking.

00:52:43.720 Do it with all sorts of great technology.

00:52:46.000 Nobody does it better than Rectech.

00:52:47.340 You can follow Rectech on all their social media and sign up for their newsletter.

00:52:50.720 It's R-E-C-T-E-Q. 1.00

00:52:52.380 Rectech.

00:52:52.900 R-E-C-T-E-Q with a Q at the end.

00:52:55.280 Visit RectechwithaQ.com.

00:52:57.400 R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

00:52:59.200 It's Rectech.com.

00:53:01.180 10-second station ID.

00:53:02.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:53:14.060 How do I decolonize my bookshelf, by the way?

00:53:17.420 That's great.

00:53:17.860 I need to give a call to Raytheon and see if they can give me some advice on that.

00:53:22.500 How do I decolonize my bookshelf?

00:53:25.380 That's a great question, Pat.

00:53:26.460 One of my books, Imperial, and it's rounding up all the little books around it to try to

00:53:32.840 control them.

00:53:33.920 That's true.

00:53:34.580 Is that what's happening on my bookshelf?

00:53:37.180 Have you ever seen Bookshelf 2 invade Bookshelf 3 before?

00:53:40.940 I have not.

00:53:41.740 It occurs all the time.

00:53:42.360 But I'm not watching my bookshelf that carefully, so I guess I need to do that.

00:53:47.420 I mean, the ridiculousness of this is completely out of control.

00:53:53.720 How do you also participate in reparations?

00:53:56.420 How am I going to do that?

00:53:57.840 I start, do I just give money to BIPOC people around me? 1.00

00:54:01.700 Yeah.

00:54:01.940 If I see a BIPOC, like a black indigenous person of color, I just give them money. 1.00

00:54:07.120 The easiest way that I do it is I just carry around envelopes of cash.

00:54:10.420 And when I see someone who looks to have darker skin than I, I hand them an envelope. 0.92

00:54:15.700 That is reparations.

00:54:17.220 And that's how I do it personally.

00:54:18.820 But I think there's different ways, you know.

00:54:20.960 Right.

00:54:21.320 This is, what world is this?

00:54:23.060 Asinine.

00:54:23.840 What world is this?

00:54:24.840 This is insanity.

00:54:26.440 And by the way, this is all stuff.

00:54:27.720 This isn't stuff that we're making up.

00:54:29.220 This is stuff that is from internal documents from Ravion in this particular case.

00:54:33.560 And they have videos of this stuff going on.

00:54:36.440 That's crazy.

00:54:37.180 And luckily, I think it's so offensive to the foundations of America to say we should

00:54:44.580 judge people based on their skin color.

00:54:47.160 That is now so offensive.

00:54:49.880 Look, we went through a period where that was going on, obviously.

00:54:52.960 We have worked so hard to leave that in the dust.

00:54:56.520 Yeah.

00:54:57.000 And now here we are.

00:54:58.140 And the left is like, you know what?

00:54:59.320 We should do it all again.

00:55:00.960 What if we do judge people by their skin color?

00:55:03.340 What if we do discriminate based on race?

00:55:07.420 And by the way, that word discriminate is used in their literature.

00:55:12.480 Ibram X.

00:55:13.040 Kendi writes, the only solution for past discrimination is present discrimination.

00:55:18.460 The only solution for present discrimination is future discrimination.

00:55:22.200 They are literally advocating for discrimination.

00:55:26.740 That's what this is.

00:55:27.880 Just against white people. 0.77

00:55:29.620 Just against different groups.

00:55:30.480 The non-oppressed groups.

00:55:33.120 The groups that have done all the evil.

00:55:35.620 You know, it's like, I have to tell you the truth here.

00:55:41.660 I hold no responsibility for slavery.

00:55:47.280 None.

00:55:48.020 I had nothing to do with it.

00:55:50.440 That's cute that you're white privileged.

00:55:52.040 And I oppose it every step of the way.

00:55:54.200 It's adorable.

00:55:54.540 I didn't hold slaves.

00:55:56.400 I don't think we anyone should have held slaves.

00:55:59.700 I don't want it to return.

00:56:01.560 I don't want local white spaces to return. 0.96

00:56:04.260 I don't want segregation to return.

00:56:06.500 It's the left that wants these things to return.

00:56:09.460 And they continually advocate for the return of white spaces, of segregation, of discrimination, 0.50

00:56:16.160 of racism.

00:56:17.260 What you've just said is devastating to racial minorities.

00:56:20.440 What?

00:56:21.440 Devastating.

00:56:22.120 You might want to decolonize your bookshelf, my friend.

00:56:25.340 Okay?

00:56:25.520 Maybe that's where you start.

00:56:27.120 Okay?

00:56:27.480 I guess I haven't done that.

00:56:30.100 By decolonizing that bookshelf.

00:56:32.400 And then get back to me.

00:56:33.460 I will say I don't pick my books based on the skin color of the authors.

00:56:37.440 So maybe I should change that philosophy.

00:56:39.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:54.860 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:58.460 888-727-BECK.

00:57:00.100 Yesterday we told you about this sort of attack on Neiman Marcus.

00:57:06.260 I think this was in New York City, right?

00:57:08.020 Isn't that where it happened?

00:57:10.540 Where they just ran into the store.

00:57:12.960 We actually have the video of it now.

00:57:14.680 Here's what happened at Neiman Marcus.

00:57:18.860 People just went into the store, smashed the display case, and stole extremely expensive

00:57:27.280 purses and then ran out of the store.

00:57:29.120 And here you see them coming out of the store like clowns out of a little clown car.

00:57:33.840 But with what was reported to be about $150,000 worth of merchandise.

00:57:41.140 Unreal.

00:57:42.320 Amazing.

00:57:43.020 And then you see as they're going away, there's a guy filming everyone running away on his

00:57:49.760 phone.

00:57:50.160 And then he kind of turns to the right.

00:57:51.320 You see he's wearing handcuffs.

00:57:53.420 So either there's just like an S&M guy out there filming people relieving Neiman Marcus

00:57:57.200 or it seemed to be a police officer.

00:57:59.140 Like, shouldn't you be running out?

00:58:00.860 I don't know.

00:58:01.520 Maybe I've lost track of what's supposed to be happening.

00:58:04.500 Either a security officer of some sort or a police officer who I guess maybe just thought

00:58:09.500 there was too many people and decided it was impossible to do something.

00:58:12.920 I don't know.

00:58:13.500 Come on.

00:58:13.800 I mean, there's got to be a way to prevent that.

00:58:16.640 Are you supposed to radio others?

00:58:18.440 Maybe it was just a security officer for one of the stores across the street and they

00:58:22.180 didn't have any responsibility.

00:58:23.980 I don't know.

00:58:24.680 It didn't seem like it didn't look good.

00:58:26.400 No, it doesn't.

00:58:27.560 And if this kind of stuff is going to happen, wouldn't you?

00:58:30.460 I don't know.

00:58:31.220 I think I'd put people at the entrances and exits to make sure that once they're running

00:58:37.400 toward the door with $15,000 purses or whatever it was they had, that there's somebody there

00:58:46.280 to stop them before they get out and get in the car and take off.

00:58:49.360 Yeah, it's interesting.

00:58:50.160 And they're gone for good.

00:58:50.720 The only reason we have this video is the person in the store across the street saw

00:58:56.560 the people running into the store and realize what was going on because it had already happened

00:59:01.180 to them previously.

00:59:02.520 So they pulled themselves into into their store and locked the doors to make sure no one came

00:59:07.940 into their store and then filmed across the street.

00:59:10.840 Like, this is becoming a, you know, you've heard the term the smash and grab, right?

00:59:16.300 Mm-hmm.

00:59:16.900 I mean, it's been around, but it definitely seems like it is much more prominent now.

00:59:21.040 And this particular incident was one where people ran in, smashed display cases, glass

00:59:27.460 flying all over the place.

00:59:28.560 Uh, and they stole really expensive purses and ran out the front door. 0.98

00:59:35.100 That's different than what is happening.

00:59:37.060 We talked about it a little bit yesterday where people are walking in with giant garbage

00:59:41.700 bags and just filling their, their bags with merchandise and walking right out the front

00:59:45.360 door.

00:59:45.640 And every unencumbered by any security or any employee, they just let them go.

00:59:51.640 And the policy of these stores is like, well, we don't want physical confrontation with people

00:59:55.260 who do this.

00:59:55.980 Call the cops who are going to show, show up far after the, the people have already left

01:00:03.020 and probably not do much of anything because it's not so much of a priority.

01:00:06.480 Some of these places that are defunding police and that sort of attitude is, is active.

01:00:11.580 They intentionally are not doing anything to follow up on these crimes and the city's telling

01:00:17.300 them they can't.

01:00:18.060 So the officers are, are powerless in this particular situation here.

01:00:23.380 We're talking about grand theft.

01:00:24.680 I mean, this is thousands and thousands of dollars.

01:00:26.300 These purses are not cheap.

01:00:28.980 And I guess, I guess we're supposed to not care because, you know, Neiman Marcus is a big

01:00:33.700 corporation.

01:00:34.640 These are evil rich people.

01:00:36.400 They have too much anyway.

01:00:38.820 Equity.

01:00:39.440 What happened to equity?

01:00:41.580 Well, you know, the equality of opportunity says each person can try to work their entire

01:00:45.920 life to try to afford one of these purses. 1.00

01:00:47.460 If, if you so choose for some dumb reason, uh, the equality of outcome is, well, you know

01:00:53.320 what?

01:00:53.520 That rich person, uh, in New York has that purse. 0.97

01:00:56.680 So should the person running out of the store with it?

01:00:59.880 Yeah.

01:00:59.980 I deserve it too.

01:01:01.220 And, uh, that's obviously what they, what they believe.

01:01:04.400 Um, this, uh, uh, actually took place in San Francisco, which, um, just experienced

01:01:10.960 Target and Walgreens, several of them leaving their city because of theft like this, where

01:01:18.140 people would just walk in.

01:01:19.420 And as you mentioned, uh, yesterday, they would just clear stuff off the shelves with

01:01:25.740 their arms and just dump it into a gigantic garbage bag and walk out of the store.

01:01:31.420 And that happened to them so much that they just closed their store rather than stay open

01:01:36.800 and continue to get robbed.

01:01:38.480 I, this is, it just feels like when you see stories like this, when you see videos like

01:01:45.960 this, it feels like the disintegration of our civilization.

01:01:49.720 Doesn't it?

01:01:50.600 It's like, how do you, how do you combat this?

01:01:52.540 If nobody can raise a hand to any of those who are stealing from them, then how do you

01:02:00.380 stop that?

01:02:00.880 You don't have a chance.

01:02:01.940 It's a real breakdown of a fundamental foundation of our society.

01:02:06.340 You know, we don't realize how many people we trust every day.

01:02:11.420 Constantly, you're trusting people that you don't know and never interact with.

01:02:14.440 I mean, think about you're driving down a road and there's a little yellow, a couple

01:02:17.940 of yellow lines in between you and a multi-thousand pound vehicle driving right at you.

01:02:24.420 And any one of those people could just jam their steering wheel to the left at the last

01:02:29.160 second and pick and kill you, right? 0.54

01:02:31.380 You trust, we have a societal trust built in that you don't do that.

01:02:36.720 Yes, there's a law there that says you don't do it, but what does that matter, right?

01:02:40.440 What we're really talking about there is societal trust.

01:02:43.020 You are trusting that that person doesn't want to injure themselves and doesn't want to

01:02:46.760 intentionally injure you.

01:02:48.100 And so, we all go around and live together and operate under these rules of society that

01:02:54.360 prop up our society and make it functional.

01:02:58.300 When you eliminate the punishments, when you encourage and explain away criminal behavior

01:03:08.560 and then do not punish it and take the people engaged in it off the streets, you have a

01:03:15.920 situation like we're seeing now where people walk into stores, take the stuff and walk out

01:03:21.900 and think to themselves, well, I'm not going to get caught because no one in this store wants

01:03:26.960 to be called a racist.

01:03:28.480 No one in this store wants to get into a physical confrontation where they have to put their hands

01:03:33.640 on someone, God forbid, to stop them from committing a crime when they're the ones that are going

01:03:38.960 to be on the wrong side of the YouTube video that's edited later on for the press.

01:03:43.240 And then, at the end of the day, if for some reason the person does get caught, they don't

01:03:51.100 get prosecuted.

01:03:52.060 They don't get punished.

01:03:53.000 They don't get taken off the street.

01:03:54.280 They get immediately released.

01:03:55.660 And then, they have a warm and accepting audience from the media to say why the reason they did

01:04:02.420 all this and had to do it was structural racism.

01:04:06.500 You build a society like that, you've taken out any incentive to follow the rules that underpin

01:04:13.060 your civilization.

01:04:14.720 And that's where we are right now in many areas, not everywhere.

01:04:18.400 You know, you can go to a mall and you very well may not see this behavior, but I, you

01:04:25.020 know, people who live around here in nice suburbs have told me stories about seeing this stuff

01:04:30.760 happen.

01:04:32.480 It's not just, you know, in some, you know, it's not just the burning down of a target

01:04:40.660 in Minneapolis after George Floyd, which we were told we shouldn't care about because it's

01:04:47.040 only property.

01:04:48.520 This is all over the country now.

01:04:51.060 And if we do not have society pushing back on it, it will just escalate and escalate and

01:04:59.800 escalate.

01:05:00.580 There has to be some force on the opposite side or it just continues to happen.

01:05:06.440 Right.

01:05:07.000 Yeah.

01:05:07.520 People have to stand up and put a stop to it.

01:05:09.920 They just do.

01:05:10.920 And they have to figure out a way in these stores to make sure this doesn't happen anymore.

01:05:15.480 You're Neiman Marcus.

01:05:16.460 You need to have armed security all over the place.

01:05:18.420 I mean, Neiman Marcus is a store selling $15,000 purses.

01:05:21.180 It's insanity that this could happen there.

01:05:23.040 It really is.

01:05:24.320 You can understand where it might happen at a 7-Eleven.

01:05:27.660 Yeah.

01:05:28.320 And it has happened at 7-Elevens and we've seen it repeatedly.

01:05:32.160 But Neiman Marcus, yeah, they need, they need armed guards and people need, there has to

01:05:40.960 be intervention into these crimes.

01:05:42.740 A lot of times there are armed guards and they don't, they're told not to do anything.

01:05:47.320 They're just essentially billboards that say, please don't rob us.

01:05:51.200 But when you do rob us, we're not going to do anything because the corporation doesn't

01:05:55.160 want to sit here and have a scandal on their hands because they know what the media will

01:05:58.800 do with a story like this.

01:06:00.080 Yeah.

01:06:00.940 They're going to give a sob story.

01:06:02.760 They're going to give all the, all the things we like.

01:06:06.880 Let's say there was some actual discrimination in the company five years ago.

01:06:12.640 They're going to root that out and make that the front page story.

01:06:16.340 Look what they did to Starbucks. 0.88

01:06:17.660 Again, like I'm not, I have no allegiance to Starbucks.

01:06:21.660 Starbucks is a left-wing corporation that is constantly beating you over the head with

01:06:27.180 every piece of BLM level nonsense that, that they can churn out and they enforced one of

01:06:36.920 their policies to not let someone go to the bathroom or sit in the, in their, in their

01:06:41.800 building without buying something.

01:06:43.400 Yeah.

01:06:43.620 And they were called the racist.

01:06:45.240 They had to shut down their chain, had to in quotes here, but they shut down their chain

01:06:50.920 for a day of racial understanding and education, their entire chain of restaurants.

01:06:58.720 Incredible.

01:06:59.520 Because they did something completely normal that every single person in our society has

01:07:06.200 always known.

01:07:06.860 If you go into a place and you don't buy something, you don't get to take advantage of the indoors.

01:07:12.180 You don't get to sit and you don't get to go to the bathroom.

01:07:14.560 You don't get to sit at the table for 45 minutes if you don't buy anything.

01:07:18.120 Now, look, can you do it sometimes?

01:07:20.400 Sure.

01:07:20.760 But we all understand that if they say no to you, you should respect it.

01:07:23.980 It's their place.

01:07:24.880 Yeah.

01:07:25.040 And didn't they go the complete opposite direction?

01:07:26.900 They just said anybody can use the, I think the outcome of that was anybody could use their

01:07:32.180 bathroom, right?

01:07:32.760 Anyone can use their bathroom.

01:07:33.400 Anybody can come in here and sit down and not buy anything and you can use the bathroom.

01:07:37.240 And didn't they fire the manager who tried to enforce their own policy?

01:07:39.620 They did.

01:07:40.220 Yeah.

01:07:41.140 Yeah.

01:07:41.460 So why, again, this is why this stuff is happening.

01:07:43.720 But when you take away those basic fundamental guidelines, this is how societies crumble.

01:07:50.500 It leads you to wonder, why are the homeless dropping turds on the sidewalks in San Francisco

01:07:57.640 rather than just going to a Starbucks and go to the bathroom there?

01:08:02.580 Wouldn't that be...

01:08:03.180 It's too far.

01:08:03.760 It's too far?

01:08:04.440 Too far.

01:08:04.900 Is that what it is?

01:08:05.360 Yeah.

01:08:05.520 That's why...

01:08:06.060 Well, we talked about the guy yesterday in the bucket in the subway.

01:08:08.880 Oh, yeah.

01:08:09.560 In the bucket, they're cleaning the floors with the mop in the bucket.

01:08:12.640 Oh, yeah.

01:08:13.040 And he just kind of went...

01:08:14.020 Just decided to go there.

01:08:16.580 So bizarre.

01:08:18.060 Uh, what has happened to our civilization?

01:08:21.960 888-727-BECK.

01:08:23.980 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:29.980 You listen to my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, immediately before this program.

01:08:35.800 6 to 8 Central, 7 to 9 Eastern Time on Blaze Radio and Television.

01:08:40.080 And then pretty much any time you want.

01:08:42.580 Not pretty much.

01:08:43.500 Any time you want.

01:08:44.920 Um, on podcast.

01:08:46.780 Wherever you get your podcast.

01:08:48.860 Yep.

01:08:49.400 And make sure to do the same with Studios America.

01:08:51.700 Subscribe to the channel and rate and review.

01:08:54.340 Five stars is the appropriate number of stars.

01:08:56.020 I happen to be wearing today, Pat, the learn, then protest.

01:08:59.240 The order is important.

01:09:00.460 So you should learn...

01:09:02.080 Okay.

01:09:02.700 ...first, then protest.

01:09:05.320 Why?

01:09:05.600 And the order is important.

01:09:06.700 What is the importance of that?

01:09:07.780 Yeah, so if you...

01:09:08.520 What's happening now is a lot of people are protesting.

01:09:11.320 Yeah.

01:09:11.660 Burning down their cities.

01:09:13.280 Okay.

01:09:14.140 Then they're learning.

01:09:15.780 Hmm.

01:09:16.160 Or maybe not even at all, actually.

01:09:18.380 Huh.

01:09:18.600 It must be protesting as...

01:09:20.000 Well, what if I heard about it from a friend of mine?

01:09:22.340 No, you should check out that information.

01:09:23.440 Somebody got killed and they shouldn't have.

01:09:25.100 Yeah.

01:09:25.420 What if you were to look into the details of the crime?

01:09:27.840 What if I did?

01:09:28.760 Yeah.

01:09:29.240 Would that make a difference?

01:09:30.440 Yeah.

01:09:30.620 That's not gonna make a difference, right?

01:09:32.200 If you learn about a story...

01:09:33.760 Huh.

01:09:34.040 And you wait until you've learned to protest...

01:09:36.880 Yeah.

01:09:37.020 ...that usually works out better.

01:09:38.780 So this is a great t-shirt to wear if you happen to have a left-wing protest in your city.

01:09:43.200 All right.

01:09:43.700 You can't wear it.

01:09:44.160 It just says, learn then protest.

01:09:48.260 The order is important.

01:09:50.280 Seems like a crazy concept to me.

01:09:52.040 I'm not sure I understand it.

01:09:53.420 Yeah.

01:09:53.800 You can get it at learnthenprotest.com.

01:09:57.060 Oh, you've got...

01:09:57.840 It's got its own website?

01:09:58.980 It's got its own website.

01:09:59.920 Your t-shirt has its own website.

01:10:01.300 It does.

01:10:01.840 That's cool.

01:10:02.400 It's a...

01:10:03.080 All right.

01:10:03.420 It's an active entity in and of itself.

01:10:06.680 Now, if I went to one place, are they aggregated there somewhere where you can get all your

01:10:11.340 merch?

01:10:12.360 studoesmerch.com.

01:10:13.140 You have yours up there, too, right?

01:10:14.180 You have your...

01:10:14.820 Yes.

01:10:15.260 It's all on...

01:10:16.020 Yes.

01:10:16.400 It's a website near you.

01:10:18.760 If you go to studoesmerch.com, you can just click on Pat Gray and...

01:10:22.320 It's patheadshop.com.

01:10:23.740 Okay.

01:10:24.300 Yeah.

01:10:24.620 Patheadshop.com.

01:10:25.620 I'll kind of go to the same place.

01:10:26.740 So that's where you can go.

01:10:29.860 All right.

01:10:30.500 888-727-BECK.

01:10:32.720 According to the University of Maryland, 13 people...

01:10:36.620 Now, we've heard.

01:10:37.520 Okay.

01:10:37.840 This is the biggest threat America faces right now.

01:10:40.580 What?

01:10:41.140 Climate change?

01:10:42.060 No.

01:10:42.560 Well, yeah.

01:10:43.180 I mean, it's tied.

01:10:44.140 Okay.

01:10:44.460 Tied with climate change.

01:10:45.620 Tied with climate change.

01:10:46.700 It is...

01:10:46.900 For the biggest threat, it's white supremacy.

01:10:48.780 White supremacy?

01:10:49.620 White supremacy.

01:10:50.540 Really?

01:10:50.880 Yeah.

01:10:51.260 Mm-hmm.

01:10:51.780 It's the biggest threat we face.

01:10:53.560 Tied, of course, with climate change.

01:10:56.780 According to the University of Maryland, 13 people die each year as a result of white supremacist

01:11:05.500 violence in America.

01:11:06.780 13?

01:11:07.480 13 people.

01:11:09.440 Not 12.

01:11:10.400 According...

01:11:10.580 Like a whole baker's dozen.

01:11:12.720 According to who again?

01:11:13.800 People.

01:11:14.300 According to the University of Maryland.

01:11:16.200 That's a high number, Pat.

01:11:18.280 It is.

01:11:18.800 It's the same number.

01:11:20.740 This is how high it is.

01:11:22.240 It's the same number as the number of people who die from vending machines falling on them

01:11:28.840 every year.

01:11:29.980 13 people die being squashed by vending machines every year.

01:11:36.020 Wow.

01:11:36.940 So, when will we do something about this?

01:11:38.960 When will CNN cover the threat of vending machines?

01:11:43.140 You know, with the same enthusiasm, they cover white supremacy.

01:11:48.000 Uh, Pat, hmm, how many, uh, is 25 more than 13?

01:11:57.100 Yes.

01:11:57.500 In your understanding?

01:11:58.300 In my understanding, yes.

01:11:59.380 I'm not a big mathematician, but I'm going to say yes.

01:12:01.940 Now, this story is from October 2020, but it says at least 25 Americans were killed during

01:12:07.320 the protests for, uh, of the George Floyd situation last year.

01:12:12.420 Wait, what?

01:12:12.920 Some say as high as 36.

01:12:14.520 By white supremacists?

01:12:15.940 No.

01:12:16.520 No?

01:12:16.920 Oh.

01:12:17.280 No.

01:12:17.840 White supremacists didn't have any.

01:12:19.760 The protesters then that were.

01:12:21.540 No.

01:12:22.140 No?

01:12:22.400 No.

01:12:22.760 It was, it was, uh, it was, it was Black Lives Matter.

01:12:28.140 I mean, we saw some of them on video.

01:12:30.240 Antifa.

01:12:30.840 Yeah.

01:12:31.420 Uh, killing people.

01:12:32.580 That's more than the white supremacy every year.

01:12:34.540 It seems like it.

01:12:36.780 Huh.

01:12:37.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:43.360 That's 2 for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:12:47.020 Number to call.

01:12:49.020 Uh, so hey, we're, uh, almost out of Afghanistan.

01:12:52.380 Left Bagram Air Force Base.

01:12:54.800 Uh, and, uh, kind of sneaked out in the middle of the night and, uh, left the lights on, I

01:13:02.180 think, and, and, and didn't tell the Afghans about it.

01:13:06.380 We'll get into that a little bit.

01:13:08.220 Uh, coming up in about 60 seconds.

01:13:14.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:16.640 If you're a homeowner and you're the type who is fiscally responsible, right now could be

01:13:21.460 a great time to make a phone call and make a massive change for the better in your financial

01:13:25.740 life.

01:13:26.500 Mortgage rates began sinking over a year ago.

01:13:28.740 I mean, they've been low for a long time, but we know they're going to be going up, especially

01:13:32.160 with all the printing going on right now.

01:13:34.480 Uh, and now we're seeing mortgage rates in the twos, in the 2% range.

01:13:38.960 I got one from American Financing in the 2% range.

01:13:41.740 How insane is that?

01:13:43.280 Who would have thought that was ever going to be possible?

01:13:45.460 There's no good reason not to give American Financing a call about this to check if you happen

01:13:49.820 to have a home and you're looking to maybe refinance.

01:13:52.380 What if you could be saving hundreds of dollars a month?

01:13:54.500 What about thousands of dollars a month?

01:13:56.240 Can you really ignore that type of change?

01:13:58.640 You wouldn't be restarting your loan if you refinanced.

01:14:01.000 You can genuinely save a ton of money on this stuff and American Financing is going to make

01:14:06.580 it easy for you.

01:14:07.620 Maybe consolidating debt that you have into something that's going to be easier to pay off

01:14:11.820 is the right move.

01:14:12.880 Uh, that comes from a trusted family company that has been helping people just like you and

01:14:16.820 me and Glenn for over 20 years.

01:14:19.500 The choice is clear.

01:14:20.160 Americanfinancing.net.

01:14:21.700 Call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to Americanfinancing.net.

01:14:29.960 American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.org.

01:14:38.280 Dot org, dot net org, dot org, dot org, dot org, dot org, net.

01:14:52.380 Pat and Stu, again for Glenn, he'll be back on Monday.

01:14:56.900 So, it's finally happened, the pullout of Afghanistan, after a mere 20 years.

01:15:05.780 I mean, is it too soon?

01:15:07.040 I don't think so.

01:15:08.340 I don't think so either.

01:15:10.820 I don't think so.

01:15:12.100 Are we, and are we the last of the coalition to still be there?

01:15:16.280 The British aren't there anymore, right? 1.00

01:15:17.520 No, yeah, they're gone.

01:15:18.520 They've been gone for a while.

01:15:20.120 So, it's just us.

01:15:21.500 It is just us.

01:15:22.600 Well, it was just us.

01:15:23.620 I mean, it's basically done now.

01:15:25.740 Now, it's the Afghans. 1.00

01:15:26.820 Heard a report this morning, they're going to keep a few hundred troops in the country,

01:15:31.980 mainly to protect the embassy, which is sensible, right?

01:15:35.460 Like, if you're going to have an embassy there in a country.

01:15:38.740 If you're not going to keep them there, then you move the embassy.

01:15:41.200 You move the people out of the embassy.

01:15:42.880 Yeah, you just abandon the country entirely.

01:15:45.360 But if you're going to have an embassy there, you should have troops there to protect the

01:15:48.380 people in it.

01:15:48.900 So, we left the other day, our troops left Bagram Air Base, basically in the middle of the

01:15:57.400 night, and didn't tell the Afghans that we were leaving.

01:16:01.700 So, a group of people went in and looted the place before the Afghans got in there. 0.99

01:16:06.960 Which is great.

01:16:07.640 Which is great.

01:16:08.340 Now, this is a 14 square mile Air Force Base.

01:16:12.580 Yeah, it's gigantic.

01:16:13.840 Gigantic area.

01:16:14.620 And, you know, so, I guess what happened was, there were some rumors that were going

01:16:20.640 to be leaving.

01:16:20.960 I mean, we all, they presented this in the media.

01:16:25.580 They're like, well ahead of schedule.

01:16:27.700 Well, Trump had it scheduled for May.

01:16:30.800 So, July would not be ahead of schedule.

01:16:34.460 Biden just said, he just changed the schedule to September and then left in July after the

01:16:40.120 initial scheduling.

01:16:40.860 So, like, he, this is how the, how the left gets away with this crap with the media.

01:16:46.140 I'll never, I'll never understand.

01:16:48.380 But, I guess when you have someone who you're rooting for, it's a lot easier to justify such

01:16:53.300 things.

01:16:53.920 But, basically, there were the rumor that they were going to be leaving.

01:16:56.880 Then they just turned the lights out.

01:16:57.920 And everyone was like, wait, why did all the lights go off over there?

01:17:00.300 We should just go over there and see what's going on.

01:17:03.240 Realize nobody was there.

01:17:04.720 And, like, there's, like, photos of people, like, carrying off cases of, like, Red Bull full.

01:17:08.060 You know, like, energy drinks and stuff, right?

01:17:11.560 Bizarre, bizarre circumstance.

01:17:13.160 And it's hard to imagine that this turns out well.

01:17:15.880 Yeah, the problem is the Taliban will probably now just retake Afghanistan, right?

01:17:24.500 That's what I expect to happen, is that terrorists will just get back together and reclaim the country.

01:17:32.120 But, what would you do?

01:17:35.640 Just stay there forever?

01:17:37.580 What's the alternative?

01:17:39.000 If you don't pull out and we don't ever come home and we leave troops there forever, we probably 0.62

01:17:47.100 could keep the Taliban at bay.

01:17:50.120 But, when you leave, what can you do?

01:17:52.940 There's all sorts of reporting where Afghan troops are handing over weapons to the Taliban.

01:17:58.640 The Taliban now supposedly, the best estimates are they control one-third of the country

01:18:04.220 already as we're leaving.

01:18:06.520 I mean, we've basically just given up on this.

01:18:08.340 And, look, you can make the argument that our mission should have been more narrow, and

01:18:12.800 that mission was accomplished, right?

01:18:14.660 I mean, you know, Osama bin Laden is dead.

01:18:18.540 Al-Qaeda is not really the force that it once was.

01:18:21.800 But, you know, our mission was larger than that.

01:18:24.900 And if that was the goal, we could have left in 2011.

01:18:26.360 Yeah, or, you know, I mean, Osama bin Laden, specifically as an individual, was 2011.

01:18:34.140 But, I mean, there was massive damage to Al-Qaeda generally well before that.

01:18:38.340 Before that, yes.

01:18:39.060 I do hesitate at times with this idea that we should judge a war by how long it goes on

01:18:48.560 for.

01:18:48.840 You know, like, first of all, this has not been a war in the way that we think of warfare

01:18:56.320 for a long time.

01:18:58.700 That's true.

01:18:59.220 You mentioned earlier, Pat, late last hour, that 13 people per year die from getting hit

01:19:06.360 by vending machines that fall over.

01:19:09.800 Yeah.

01:19:09.900 Right.

01:19:10.840 Well, in 2020, 11 people died in Afghanistan.

01:19:15.260 11?

01:19:15.900 11.

01:19:16.340 Less than the amount of people who die from vending machines falling over them in the United

01:19:20.780 States.

01:19:21.440 Not to minimize, of course, the loss of our...

01:19:23.720 Totally.

01:19:24.680 I mean, like...

01:19:25.380 But, I mean, when you look at the deaths that occurred, several of them were motor vehicle

01:19:30.300 accidents.

01:19:31.360 Oh, wow.

01:19:31.880 Right?

01:19:32.520 There were some that were attacks.

01:19:34.680 Some of them were attacks by Afghan troops.

01:19:38.060 Yeah, that's the toughest to take.

01:19:39.700 That's the toughest to take, for sure.

01:19:41.760 I'm not saying any of these don't, aren't crucial, but, I mean, like, here we go.

01:19:47.160 Non-hostile vehicle accident, non-hostile incident, non-hostile vehicle accident, rollover, non-hostile,

01:19:55.020 non-hostile...

01:19:55.220 What was that, four?

01:19:55.860 Five?

01:19:56.300 Yep.

01:19:57.480 There, here's a hostile.

01:19:58.080 Jeez.

01:19:58.760 Hostile fire, small arms file, green on blue attack.

01:20:02.780 So, that was by an Afghan troop.

01:20:06.400 Yep.

01:20:06.560 Same thing for the next one.

01:20:08.380 Mm-hmm.

01:20:08.700 Then a non-hostile aircraft crash.

01:20:11.540 Six.

01:20:12.000 Non-hostile aircraft crash, and then hostile fire IED attack.

01:20:17.620 So, when you think about the...

01:20:18.840 Four of them?

01:20:19.260 A traditional warfare attack, I'd say you would say one. 0.92

01:20:24.100 Mm-hmm.

01:20:24.400 Right?

01:20:24.740 I mean, you wouldn't necessarily think off the top of your head of a green on blue type

01:20:28.260 of attack.

01:20:28.920 Right.

01:20:29.460 But you have to count.

01:20:30.720 All of these count, obviously.

01:20:32.200 And, you know, if you have a kid over there who died in an aircraft crash, you're not going

01:20:36.780 to feel any better about it.

01:20:37.600 But that stuff happens in the United States.

01:20:39.580 Yeah.

01:20:39.740 And we have aircraft crashes from military test pilots in the United States that happen.

01:20:43.900 Mm-hmm.

01:20:44.700 That's not to say that it's nothing.

01:20:47.320 It's something, and look, we have to at some point, even if it's just for spending, right,

01:20:52.380 reasons, like, you know, you can't just spend money maintaining another country forever.

01:20:57.420 But, like, to think of this as everyone's like, this is America's forever war.

01:21:03.000 Can you look at a year like 2020 and say, okay, that's a war year? 0.86

01:21:07.420 Remember, what's the alternative of war?

01:21:10.380 What we used to do in war was, yes, the wars would end in three to five years because hundreds

01:21:15.460 of thousands, if not millions of people were dead.

01:21:18.800 Yeah.

01:21:19.140 You fought them full bore.

01:21:21.640 Mm-hmm.

01:21:21.840 Full on.

01:21:22.900 It was just warfare all the time.

01:21:30.240 It wasn't like, okay, we're going to take this country and we're going to maintain it.

01:21:34.320 Yeah.

01:21:34.460 And then we're going to get attacked every once in a while.

01:21:38.200 That's not what's been, I mean, that's what's been happening in Afghanistan.

01:21:41.700 Yeah.

01:21:41.900 For, what, 10 years at least?

01:21:46.120 Maybe more than that?

01:21:46.880 Yeah, I mean, if you look at the fatalities, U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan, really, you

01:21:53.860 had a peak.

01:21:54.780 The highest number was 2010 at 498.

01:21:58.720 Now, again, 498 was 10 minutes of a battle of previous wars.

01:22:03.740 Yeah.

01:22:04.040 As sad as all of this is, and every loss of life is incredibly, I mean, you don't have

01:22:08.280 to, I don't have to sell this audience on the fact that I, you know, we all

01:22:11.860 care about our military members.

01:22:14.320 But war has changed in a way that I think is positive, even though, you know, there's 1.00

01:22:22.780 not, there's no longer necessarily these days where you walk away with the parades and everything

01:22:26.980 else.

01:22:27.360 I mean, 498 was the peak in 2010.

01:22:29.660 Then it went to 415, 310, 128, and it's been under 100 since 2015 or 14.

01:22:35.400 It was 55, 22, then 13, 15, 14, 24, 11.

01:22:40.240 Then that was 2020 was 11.

01:22:41.940 Now, again, I went through those 11.

01:22:44.380 Only one of them is what you would think traditionally of a, of a war death.

01:22:48.940 A couple of others from friend, allies that should have been helping us and turned on us.

01:22:54.480 A couple of those that was, it was three and the rest were non-hostile events where, you

01:22:58.360 know, car crashes, airplane crashes, things that were terrible, but also not what you would

01:23:03.660 think of as a traditional war death.

01:23:06.220 Did you happen to read the, the latest Malcolm Gladwell book, The Bomber Mafia, by any chance?

01:23:12.780 It's really good.

01:23:13.620 I mean, it's really, really well done.

01:23:15.100 And I like Malcolm's stuff.

01:23:16.280 I mean, it's always interesting to me, but this is about basically the idea of early,

01:23:20.420 the early air force where they decided we, they, their vision of what war could become

01:23:25.880 where they would drop guided bombs, not just bombs that plastered an entire, you know,

01:23:31.460 just denigrated an entire civilian population without thinking about it, their vision of

01:23:35.920 trying to create the technology that would allow us to target the military installations

01:23:40.140 we wanted to hit and not just carpet bomb societies.

01:23:44.580 And the, one of the main proponents of this was in world war two and was, and got to the

01:23:49.880 point where he was leading the operations against Japan from the air and eventually lost his

01:23:57.680 gig because they, the technology wasn't really ready.

01:24:00.540 They didn't really have it ready and they wound up changing to carpet bombing basically.

01:24:05.060 But you realize that like, you know, when we think of Japan, obviously in world war two,

01:24:09.860 we think of the atomic bomb.

01:24:11.400 So much was done with essentially napalm type devices, fire bombing these places,

01:24:17.960 because the way their, their homes were built, were very vulnerable to fire and they were

01:24:22.100 very close to each other.

01:24:23.280 And we were just, you know, dropping.

01:24:25.420 And there was a lot of that during Vietnam to clear away the jungle.

01:24:28.100 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:29.460 So, but they were doing it to clear away, you know, communities and how cities and, and

01:24:34.460 I'm not questioning these tactics in that, like this war needed to end.

01:24:37.880 And I'm glad that we dropped the atomic bomb. 0.75

01:24:39.840 I'm not like anybody who thinks the opposite of that, but like that was the choice at the

01:24:45.640 time.

01:24:46.100 It was like, do you essentially kill a hundred thousand people tonight in their homes?

01:24:51.660 It was essentially the equivalent of what we saw in Miami, right?

01:24:54.620 Where the entire building just catches on fire or collapses and everyone in it dies.

01:24:59.960 And do you do this over multiple square miles every night for a year?

01:25:04.980 That was warfare.

01:25:06.440 Yeah.

01:25:07.000 Look, Afghanistan is, is a different situation.

01:25:10.080 And to sit here and say, like, you look at these years, years.

01:25:14.140 Do you have the total from the, the whole war?

01:25:16.320 It's something like four or 5,000, right?

01:25:18.360 2,452, 2,400.

01:25:21.100 That does not include this year, by the way.

01:25:22.780 I have only up till 2020 here, but 2,452.

01:25:25.440 Now it's, I think the number you're thinking of is 3,596, which was total coalition deaths.

01:25:31.100 So that includes the UK and other, 455 from the UK, 689 total in all the other countries

01:25:37.600 combined.

01:25:38.820 Iraq was 4,910 total coalition, 4,586 US.

01:25:43.640 But again, even Iraq, you look at Iraq, this is, uh, since 2012, 2012, there was two deaths

01:25:49.900 for, for the US, 2004, uh, I'm missing 2013 on my chart here, but 2014, four, then eight,

01:25:57.020 20, 22, 17, 12, 11.

01:25:59.640 And again, you look at the details to them and many of them are the same sad situations,

01:26:03.840 vehicle accidents, uh, rollovers, uh, non-hostile, uh, there are some that are hostile.

01:26:09.880 I mean, these are still dangerous areas for sure, but I think judging a war, what we should 0.98

01:26:17.280 look at when we judge a war should be, of course, the outcome. 0.60

01:26:20.220 Did we stop people attacking us?

01:26:22.800 If that's why we went to war, which in Afghanistan, I would argue that was the reason we went and 1.00

01:26:27.240 we stopped that.

01:26:28.180 And when we've, that seemed to accomplish, interrupted a lot of it.

01:26:31.140 And also the main thing is how many, the most important thing to me is how many of

01:26:35.540 our service people do we lose?

01:26:37.300 Not how long the war goes on.

01:26:39.800 Look, it's uncomfortable to say, and this is true, that people who fought in, who went

01:26:45.880 to, uh, Afghanistan after 9-11 have children who are now serving in Afghanistan or until

01:26:51.440 very recently.

01:26:52.260 It's hard to think in those terms, but the fact, if we could return both of those people

01:26:56.560 back here, that's much more important than the timeline.

01:26:59.560 Oh yeah.

01:27:01.160 And we have changed warfare.

01:27:03.420 I mean, people are dying a lot less in wars and that is good.

01:27:07.660 Uh, it is, it is much, it's no longer the, the, the, uh, the drain on human life that

01:27:13.180 it once was, at least not at the moment.

01:27:15.480 And we can take a little solace out of that, I think.

01:27:17.900 888-727-BECK.

01:27:26.600 It's Pat and Stu.

01:27:27.640 Uh, Stu, is this a win?

01:27:29.560 Uh, Britain left Afghanistan and Iraq. 0.86

01:27:35.520 I don't have that in front of me.

01:27:36.900 I can find it here in a second if you want.

01:27:38.260 I mean, they have had no deaths in Afghanistan since 2016.

01:27:43.700 I bet that's when they pulled out.

01:27:45.020 And basically, and they had two in 2015.

01:27:47.220 So somewhere in there, I guess, but I don't, I don't have it in front of me right now.

01:27:51.300 It's the, it's been just the U.S. for a while.

01:27:53.600 And look, you know, I think we've learned, uh, as we knew going in, as they said in Princess

01:27:59.020 Bride, that, uh, a land war in Asia, not necessarily the way to go. 0.83

01:28:03.080 Okay.

01:28:03.780 This is not, it does not always turn out well.

01:28:06.280 You don't always get what you want out of it.

01:28:08.180 And I think we've realized that, you know, we're not going to get what we wanted out of it.

01:28:12.000 What was it that Vassini said about that?

01:28:13.280 Only slightly less dangerous.

01:28:16.320 It's a land war in Asia. 0.81

01:28:18.900 Something to that effect.

01:28:19.800 I think it was, I think a land war in Asia was number one, but only slightly less well-known.

01:28:23.340 Right.

01:28:23.880 That's what it was.

01:28:25.060 Challenge, uh, Sicilian. 0.71

01:28:28.140 Was it a Sicilian?

01:28:29.220 Yeah.

01:28:29.520 I think he was a Sicilian.

01:28:31.080 It's been a while since I watched Princess Bride.

01:28:33.360 If Ted Cruz is listening right now, the Senator would be able to give us these quotes.

01:28:37.140 That's his game.

01:28:38.340 Uh, it's a great movie and he knows.

01:28:40.100 Pick up the hotline if it rings.

01:28:41.660 It's probably Senator Cruz.

01:28:44.280 So he could do it.

01:28:45.360 What I remember, he could do large portions of the entire script of that movie out of memory.

01:28:50.000 He's got not a photographic, but a, uh, it's something.

01:28:54.540 It's something close to that.

01:28:55.040 It's something close to that.

01:28:55.960 If he hears it or something, he remembers it.

01:28:59.020 So yeah, it's something very, very impressive.

01:29:01.460 Uh, all right.

01:29:02.260 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B-E-C-K is, uh, our number to call. 0.94

01:29:07.320 Let's go to, uh, Eric in Maine.

01:29:10.260 Hey, Eric, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:29:12.520 How you doing, guys?

01:29:13.180 Doing good.

01:29:14.500 Good.

01:29:15.020 Good.

01:29:15.340 First time caller.

01:29:16.560 Welcome.

01:29:17.100 Um, thank you.

01:29:19.040 I would just like to touch on something that I've heard.

01:29:21.900 Yeah, I think Glenn touched on a little bit.

01:29:24.320 I've heard a few other commentators and that is, um, January six, uh, putting together

01:29:31.860 a select committee to find out what happened on January six.

01:29:36.780 Yeah.

01:29:37.060 Um, you know, in my opinion, if Democrats want to know what happened, all they got to

01:29:42.880 do is look in the closest mirror.

01:29:44.520 Um, you know, we had about a year worth of rioting, looting, arson, uh, armed attacks on police

01:29:55.940 stations and on the federal courthouse or houses even.

01:30:00.520 And all of that was okay because they were protesting racism.

01:30:03.860 So they could even go out in the pandemic and, uh, mill around without social distancing.

01:30:10.740 Doctors saying it was a public health issue of racism, which was more important than the

01:30:14.500 pandemic.

01:30:14.880 I mean, one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen in, in, in medicine.

01:30:19.920 I mean, the fact that a doctor who's supposed to do no harm would come out and say, yeah,

01:30:24.160 go out in a pandemic because, Oh, uh, cause racism arguments and political nonsense is pathetic.

01:30:30.360 But the rest of your argument, Eric is, you know, my, my point really is, I think the people on January

01:30:37.100 six saw all of this going on, nobody doing or saying anything and Democrats even encouraging it.

01:30:45.260 Uh, you had the vice president, the now vice president actually helping to get people bailed out of jail for

01:30:51.940 doing it.

01:30:52.600 You had a Democrat mayors and governors not confronting these people.

01:30:57.800 Yeah.

01:30:58.280 You had, uh, you had prosecutors and judges letting people go.

01:31:03.460 So they thought it was okay.

01:31:05.140 Yeah.

01:31:05.380 They probably figured, you know, uh, I should get equal treatment under law. 0.97

01:31:09.900 I mean, you had Nancy Pelosi say people will do what people will do.

01:31:13.340 Right.

01:31:13.600 Appreciate it.

01:31:14.160 Thanks, Eric.

01:31:14.620 I mean, that could be part of the equation.

01:31:17.760 You still shouldn't have done it because conservatives, especially know better.

01:31:22.980 Certainly.

01:31:23.560 Yeah.

01:31:23.740 You know, look, we, there were definitely a lot of Trump supporters who were doing things,

01:31:27.660 uh, that a lot of people, by the way, doing nothing and just went to a rally and walked

01:31:31.880 away.

01:31:32.400 There were some that did really bad things and those people should be held responsible

01:31:35.460 for them.

01:31:36.020 However, the generalized point here of normalizing political violence being a bad idea.

01:31:42.380 Yeah.

01:31:42.560 I'm a hundred percent on board with.

01:31:44.020 Yes, absolutely.

01:31:44.620 And that's what they did over the course of the, uh, of the year, last year.

01:31:50.280 I mean, they, they said burning down police stations was okay because racism.

01:31:54.540 I'm like, no, I, no, I'm never going to be okay with that.

01:31:57.840 The same way I'm never going to be okay with violence against police officers at any time.

01:32:01.260 What was it?

01:32:01.600 25 people killed last, last year in those riots?

01:32:04.020 That was, yeah.

01:32:04.580 One estimate.

01:32:05.160 Yeah.

01:32:05.240 One estimate.

01:32:05.520 25 and 35.

01:32:06.580 I've seen it as high as 40 or 45, um, and several police officers.

01:32:11.740 So yeah, I can tell you it's a lot higher than George, than the deaths that happened

01:32:15.780 in the George Floyd incident is as tragic as that one was.

01:32:19.080 It was a lot higher in the protest afterward.

01:32:21.620 Much.

01:32:21.920 And I'm pretty sure racism isn't solved.

01:32:24.700 I could be wrong on that.

01:32:25.640 We'll have to check the stats on it, but I'm pretty sure it's not solved yet.

01:32:31.080 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:34:39.880 It is pretty amazing.

01:34:41.300 We always get emails and social media messages from people who just bring them to their office.

01:34:47.540 The Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. 1.00

01:34:49.140 Yeah.

01:34:49.420 And people don't notice it first?

01:34:51.460 Yeah.

01:34:51.600 They give it to their clients to use sign paperwork.

01:34:56.280 It's actually a pretty nice pen.

01:34:57.980 Yeah.

01:34:58.300 Yeah, it is.

01:34:59.000 It's kind of a nice pen.

01:34:59.780 Or their liberal friends who pick it up and write things and then realize that they're

01:35:04.360 holding a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen.

01:35:05.680 And then the shock settles in.

01:35:07.600 NancyPelosiSucksPen.com if you want to check that out.

01:35:09.160 All right.

01:35:10.340 Found out in the last little while how racist virtually everything is.

01:35:15.720 Everything is racist.

01:35:17.460 Just today alone, fireworks are racist.

01:35:20.620 We have that story.

01:35:21.300 Do you know why fireworks are racist?

01:35:25.140 It's as obvious as the nose on your face, too.

01:35:28.420 I don't know why fireworks are racist.

01:35:30.520 Of course.

01:35:31.360 You and your white privilege.

01:35:33.100 All right.

01:35:33.380 I hope you're happy to.

01:35:34.280 Because they celebrated a colonialist society?

01:35:36.840 No.

01:35:37.300 But I'm sure that could be part of it.

01:35:38.740 Okay.

01:35:39.200 But it's not what was stated in the new article that fireworks is racist.

01:35:43.120 It's because the smoke and all of the fallout from the fireworks lands disproportionately on

01:35:54.000 BIPOC neighborhoods.

01:35:55.860 Wait.

01:35:56.360 What?

01:35:56.480 Duh.

01:35:57.480 Wait.

01:35:58.300 Wouldn't that mean?

01:35:58.780 Minority neighborhoods are the recipients of all that pollution. 1.00

01:36:03.760 Oh.

01:36:04.060 So they're saying from the town fireworks themselves.

01:36:06.820 Or like a city fireworks.

01:36:07.680 Yes.

01:36:08.140 It all lands on BIPOC residences. 0.99

01:36:12.400 And...

01:36:12.580 I will say I had never thought of that.

01:36:14.500 Yeah.

01:36:14.700 Think about that.

01:36:15.420 Yeah.

01:36:15.620 Because you're white privileged.

01:36:16.600 You don't have to think of that.

01:36:18.340 I don't have to.

01:36:18.360 I specifically, when I went to Zillow, I searched for non-firework debride communities.

01:36:26.380 And they...

01:36:26.740 And they were all white, right? 0.68

01:36:27.720 What it responded just said, are you white?

01:36:29.800 Click yes.

01:36:30.600 Click yes.

01:36:31.280 And then I clicked yes.

01:36:31.860 And then it let me go to the site.

01:36:33.340 Because if you're not, they don't allow you to buy homes in...

01:36:36.400 Did you get like a retinal scan to make sure that you're white?

01:36:39.540 So that the website knew?

01:36:40.080 I said it's a DNA sample.

01:36:41.600 Okay.

01:36:42.000 Yeah.

01:36:42.320 Good.

01:36:42.520 That was...

01:36:42.760 Mm-hmm.

01:36:43.280 Good.

01:36:44.480 So, yeah.

01:36:45.480 They can make anything into racism.

01:36:46.920 Math.

01:36:47.420 Math is racist.

01:36:48.460 U.S. educators slamming math workbooks.

01:36:51.860 It's racist.

01:36:54.340 Educators condemn the $1 million Dismantling Racism in Mathematics program funded by Bill Gates.

01:37:00.160 So I love this.

01:37:00.960 This is liberals eating their own.

01:37:02.820 Which tells teachers not to push students to find correct answers.

01:37:08.780 Because that promotes white supremacy. 0.95

01:37:13.300 Okay.

01:37:14.440 You start getting right answers and you're getting into white territory there, I guess. 0.99

01:37:18.940 How racist is that?

01:37:20.320 Yeah.

01:37:20.480 This is the most purely racist part of this, I think.

01:37:22.940 Where you're saying things like showing up on time, getting correct answers at math,

01:37:27.700 being polite, are all parts of white culture.

01:37:33.120 Those are white things.

01:37:35.200 Ridiculous.

01:37:35.860 Why would you make those things out to be racism when they're all good things?

01:37:43.040 Yeah, right.

01:37:43.680 And what they're saying is they're not good things, right?

01:37:46.140 I guess.

01:37:46.700 I guess so.

01:37:47.240 But if you were to turn on a white supremacist podcast right now, right?

01:37:50.960 If you were to turn on David Duke's podcast, he might very well tell you, you know what's

01:37:56.560 wrong with, he wouldn't use BIPOCs, I don't think.

01:38:00.820 He would probably use a different word.

01:38:02.140 But if he was going to say, what's wrong with people of color?

01:38:04.580 He might say, you know, they can't do math.

01:38:07.000 They don't show up on time.

01:38:08.740 They're not polite.

01:38:10.240 He would make those arguments.

01:38:12.200 And now we have the Ibram Kendi's and Robin D'Angelo's and all of the people trying to

01:38:20.240 push critical race theory, intersectionality, all of this nonsense on us.

01:38:25.860 Right.

01:38:26.780 Those people are the ones telling you the same things that David Duke told you last week.

01:38:32.200 What does that tell you?

01:38:35.040 And you know, David Duke doesn't even say those kinds of things anymore.

01:38:38.420 I don't know if he does.

01:38:39.280 I have not kept up with him.

01:38:40.320 I think he's like mellowed over time.

01:38:43.820 So the things that they're actually saying about minorities are worse than what David

01:38:49.820 Duke would say.

01:38:50.540 I don't know.

01:38:51.100 I don't know anything, honestly.

01:38:52.460 Using David Duke as a historical example of someone who had supported this race.

01:38:57.040 Because he's the only racist like that we really know.

01:38:59.280 Yeah, he's the only former KKK member.

01:39:01.820 People would also say maybe Richard Spencer would be an example of this at the moment.

01:39:06.340 But again, like I'm only assigning a name because it's obvious what I mean by it, right?

01:39:11.660 Like you take a guy who, I don't know, a guy in a hood.

01:39:14.560 You have a KKK meeting somewhere in the country.

01:39:16.820 We found out today that 13 people per year in the United States die from white supremacy.

01:39:21.240 So we do know that it does occasionally happen.

01:39:23.540 We do know that some people support this asinine ideology of white supremacy.

01:39:28.380 It does still occur.

01:39:29.540 It's just not nearly as big a problem as the media tries to make it out to be.

01:39:32.480 Not the biggest problem facing the United States.

01:39:34.700 It's just the numbers.

01:39:35.380 I mean, it's just not.

01:39:36.080 I mean, it's a, to the extent that it exists, it is legitimately horrible.

01:39:42.960 But you have to factor in the extent that it exists.

01:39:46.580 You know, there's a group that blocked a freeway this week.

01:39:51.820 A black supremacist group, at least.

01:39:53.840 Yeah, the Rise of the Moors.

01:39:55.220 Rise of the Moors.

01:39:55.860 And they've been making news lately a little bit.

01:39:57.920 They had, you know, they're heavily armed.

01:39:59.500 There was another group called the Not F-ing Around Coalition that was recently in the news.

01:40:06.580 Very heavily armed black nationalist group that gave us a, one of their members who eventually

01:40:13.880 killed a police officer and was arrested recently.

01:40:16.680 These groups exist and they should be taken seriously.

01:40:20.240 They, to the extent that they exist, they are very bad.

01:40:23.660 However, they're not the biggest problem in the country.

01:40:26.120 Right.

01:40:26.220 Like, they just are really, really awful.

01:40:28.660 And if you, if you were to listen to the white version of this, some white supremacist group

01:40:34.000 talking amongst themselves, they would say many of the same things.

01:40:37.840 They would say they want segregation.

01:40:39.780 They would want whites, local white spaces. 0.89

01:40:42.860 That exact term was used in the Raytheon anti-racist intersectionality literature that came out yesterday.

01:40:50.260 So bizarre.

01:40:51.020 I mean, these are the same things.

01:40:53.360 They believe the same things.

01:40:55.660 It's, it's, it's more than anything else.

01:40:58.080 It's an obsession with race.

01:41:00.580 When you are obsessed with race, you make bad decisions.

01:41:04.320 That is what happens.

01:41:05.540 When you are obsessed with skin color, you wind up running a society that is terrible in every way imaginable. 0.99

01:41:14.340 It's not a good idea.

01:41:16.340 Yep.

01:41:16.840 That's just how white folks will do you. 0.94

01:41:19.320 So don't forget that.

01:41:20.880 All right.

01:41:21.180 Thank you, Barack.

01:41:22.620 I appreciate that.

01:41:23.840 Let me tell you one more thing that is incredibly racist that has to be done away with.

01:41:29.600 And that's denial of evolution.

01:41:34.040 It's a form of white supremacy.

01:41:36.340 Denying it.

01:41:37.140 Denying evolution is a form of white supremacy.

01:41:41.300 Can you walk me through that one, Pat?

01:41:42.420 I don't think I can handle it.

01:41:43.980 I think so.

01:41:45.980 How is that?

01:41:46.720 How is that white supremacist?

01:41:48.160 So evolution isn't white supremacy.

01:41:51.700 Denying evolution is white supremacy.

01:41:54.600 Right.

01:41:54.720 The global scientific community overwhelmingly accepts that all living humans are of African descent.

01:42:01.040 You know, it's not, that first sentence is not as overwhelming as it used to be.

01:42:05.640 There's a lot of respected scientists who have thrown some doubt into the whole evolutionary process to the Big Bang Theory and evolution.

01:42:19.220 A lot of them have come to not accept it entirely.

01:42:23.820 But anyway, most scientific articles about our African origins focus on genetics.

01:42:28.480 The part of the story that's not as widely shared is about the creation of human culture.

01:42:33.820 We're all descended genetically and also culturally from dark-skinned ancestors.

01:42:39.180 So if you deny evolution, you're denying that part of the evolutionary scale that we all came from dark-skinned ancestors.

01:42:49.060 Early humans.

01:42:50.180 So these are just odd things to be obsessed with.

01:42:52.940 Early humans from the African continent are the ones who first invented tools, the use of fire, language, and religion. 0.77

01:43:00.020 These dark-skinned early people laid down the foundation for human culture.

01:43:04.960 Considering the short lifespan of our early ancestors, these original innovators were probably also very young.

01:43:11.820 No one who follows artistic trends would be surprised to learn that from the beginning, human culture was essentially invented by teenagers.

01:43:19.020 And by culture, we don't just mean the arts, we mean the whole shebang.

01:43:24.900 Yeah, and they actually used the word shebang in the scientificamerican.com article.

01:43:29.200 I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against black bodies.

01:43:47.120 That is incredibly twisted.

01:43:50.000 It's another weird thing that they're doing.

01:43:51.800 So twisted.

01:43:52.420 A couple of things, just language-wise, that they do in these articles, Pat.

01:43:56.160 Black bodies. 0.99

01:43:58.720 It's like as if there's nothing more to a human being than their body.

01:44:02.960 It's always like you're doing these things to black bodies. 1.00

01:44:05.440 What do you mean black bodies? 0.93

01:44:07.180 What are you talking about?

01:44:08.540 Why are they using that terminology?

01:44:09.880 The other one that is really odd to me is they keep, now they're using, you have to say black and brown together.

01:44:17.140 So like there was this whole thing of like, you know, people of color.

01:44:19.920 Now it's like black and brown people are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:44:24.320 And it's like, well, no one's literally black, right?

01:44:26.880 Like, you know, that's been a-

01:44:29.480 Or brown.

01:44:29.920 Or brown.

01:44:30.500 For that matter.

01:44:31.080 Right.

01:44:31.360 I mean, like everyone's different shape.

01:44:32.600 Like, it's such a strange thing that they do.

01:44:35.820 It is.

01:44:36.140 It's like when there was, you know, gay and queer were terms at one point seemingly-

01:44:43.540 Interchangeable.

01:44:44.660 Were interchangeable and then also offensive.

01:44:47.820 And now have, that's reversed, I think.

01:44:51.080 I don't know where we are on the scale at this given moment, but I think now they're not offensive.

01:44:56.560 Yeah.

01:44:56.820 Now they're terms that are in, they're in the acronym.

01:45:02.420 LGBTQQIA2+.

01:45:04.260 And I would, by the way, after the Cuomo family announcement, LGBTQQIA2D+. 0.87

01:45:12.420 Oh, for demisexual. 1.00

01:45:15.240 And how is P not in there for pansexual?

01:45:19.000 LGBTQQIA2DP+.

01:45:24.040 There you go.

01:45:26.060 That's all.

01:45:26.960 You can't do that?

01:45:28.140 It's inclusive.

01:45:29.200 Of course you can do that.

01:45:29.880 You can't take a moment to just memorize the 47 initials I just gave you?

01:45:33.920 Like, come on, America.

01:45:35.520 Well, you're a selfish bigot.

01:45:37.400 That's white supremacy right there.

01:45:38.820 Right?

01:45:39.260 It is.

01:45:39.700 That's white supremacy.

01:45:40.140 Exactly.

01:45:41.060 Forget about evolution.

01:45:42.380 Not saying all the letters in the group.

01:45:46.240 It's just hateful.

01:45:47.540 Just sheer, unadulterated hate.

01:45:49.820 That's all it is.

01:45:50.820 888-727-BECK.

01:45:52.080 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:45:57.280 888-727-BECK.

01:46:00.060 This story is amazing.

01:46:02.020 Baltimore Ravens quarterback, Marlon Humphrey, 24 years old, responded to a Twitter post from

01:46:11.560 Representative, a Democrat from Missouri, Cori Bush, who over the weekend, on Independence

01:46:17.660 Day, made headlines because she claimed that American freedom is only for white people. 0.99

01:46:23.020 She said, when they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this.

01:46:28.840 The freedom they're referring to is for white people. 0.78

01:46:32.300 Well, this land is stolen land and black people still aren't free. 1.00

01:46:37.980 Okay, well, you can spend an hour talking about how this is not stolen land.

01:46:43.680 She's in Congress, right?

01:46:44.020 Yeah, she's in Congress. 1.00

01:46:45.060 That's an interesting way to imprison someone.

01:46:47.440 Interesting take on your country that you represent a portion of.

01:46:51.460 So, anyway, she said that black people still aren't free.

01:46:53.940 Well, Marlon Humphrey, who is a black quarterback in the NFL, said, I feel free, LOL. 0.98

01:47:00.640 Well, oh, the humanity.

01:47:03.220 Oh, no.

01:47:03.940 How dare you say that you feel free?

01:47:08.920 So, they piled on him like crazy.

01:47:13.440 Several commenters condemned him for being naive, demeaned his intelligence by calling him

01:47:19.220 boy, which you don't do.

01:47:22.800 It's just racist.

01:47:23.800 So, these people, as always, show who they really are by attacking him.

01:47:31.160 You feel free and being actually free are two entirely different things, my boy.

01:47:37.640 Then another, we're not free until we're all free, my boy.

01:47:42.980 So, that was a definite theme.

01:47:46.320 I guess, releasing criminals from prison.

01:47:49.420 And what are they advocating for there?

01:47:52.020 As far as free go?

01:47:53.000 What do you call, what's freedom?

01:47:54.980 That's a really good question.

01:47:57.180 I would love for people who were so upset by it.

01:48:00.520 Probably Cori Bush being critical of the lockdowns.

01:48:02.800 That's probably what it was.

01:48:03.660 Oh, yeah.

01:48:04.280 She was like, yeah, we're not free, guys.

01:48:06.280 We still have to wear masks.

01:48:07.320 We can't go into a restaurant and sit right next to somebody who we don't know yet.

01:48:14.680 That's why we're not free.

01:48:16.140 Even though you can pretty much everywhere.

01:48:17.400 Yeah.

01:48:19.100 So, you know, Marlon Humphrey enjoying his life in this country and making $19.5 million

01:48:28.780 a year doing it, just unacceptable to the left.

01:48:31.880 They will bludgeon you to death if you dare say one thing that disagrees with their worldview

01:48:38.900 and their stinking agenda.

01:48:41.740 And as a BIPOC person, if you don't think the right way, they're going to beat you to 1.00

01:48:48.600 death just like they would Whitey. 1.00

01:48:51.800 It's really tragic.

01:48:53.920 And then on the other side of this fence is a, as Stu mentioned, a representative in Congress

01:49:01.460 who obviously hates this country and doesn't believe that we're a free people.

01:49:08.160 Pathetic.

01:49:09.400 Really is pathetic.

01:49:11.060 It is very much exactly what I would expect.

01:49:14.820 But credit to the guy who steps up and says, hey, I love it.

01:49:18.940 I'm free.

01:49:20.100 Screw off.

01:49:20.660 And again, you know, let's, maybe we could try to remember Twitter isn't real life.

01:49:27.400 Twitter doesn't represent every living human being in this country.

01:49:30.980 Ignore it.

01:49:31.560 When they pile on you on Twitter like that.

01:49:34.160 You can block the comments, right?

01:49:36.000 Yeah.

01:49:36.620 Why would you not do that?

01:49:37.740 I don't know.

01:49:38.140 And you start rolling in.

01:49:38.860 It's amazing.

01:49:39.960 All right.

01:49:40.240 We will be back tomorrow.

01:49:41.340 Fill it in for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:49:43.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
