What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:33.300
Where do you have to go to find a news organization that notices there's some problem with Joe Biden?
00:00:48.380
Well, other than Fox and talk radio, you go to Australia.
00:00:53.500
Who has noticed maybe some problems there with the president of the United States?
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.
00:01:31.240
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.
00:01:49.060
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
00:02:23.960
It's the conservative-leaning news in England and Australia.
00:02:29.760
And it's owned by Rupert Murdoch as well, right?
00:02:34.020
So it's not, but it is interesting to see that noticed.
00:02:40.280
I mean, he has been so out of it lately that, you know, they've actually, some of the reports,
00:02:52.940
Suddenly the world's greatest power is in the hands of a slightly dazed bloke who looks like
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.
00:03:20.080
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.
00:03:29.160
You might be going off on tangents that lead nowhere, you know, not making a lot of sense.
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
00:03:53.840
You get on, you get a, you know, a $9,000 car, you buy off a used lot that's, you know,
00:04:01.220
I mean, a lot of these cars now last well over 100,000 miles.
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
00:04:17.780
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
00:04:35.560
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
00:04:57.960
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
00:05:14.540
You know, when it comes to news coverage, that's all these, that's all anybody ever talked
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
00:05:30.600
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
00:05:57.340
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.
00:06:13.100
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.
00:06:19.660
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.
00:06:39.200
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
00:06:56.260
I remember that when I think you were on with me, Pat, on the News and Why It Matters,
00:07:04.340
And we get to the end of the show and they do a Twitter poll every day or every other
00:07:11.220
And they do a poll that said it was how who is the most corrupt?
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
00:07:27.800
And we were like, I don't know, a month or two before the election actually occurred.
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,
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
00:08:13.380
I think there's a lot of, ah, that's just Joe being Joe stuff going on.
00:08:20.320
Ah, Joe, you know, yeah, he screws up sometimes.
00:08:28.400
And there's tons of blame to go around to the 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
00:08:48.580
Peter Schweitzer wrote a great book about all the corruption and it didn't get the-
00:08:56.420
His, you know, Joe Biden's brother, all sorts of people included in that.
00:09:03.880
And, like, I remember it was hard to get people interested in it.
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.
00:09:22.760
I mean, that whole election, we said this before, that whole election was not about Joe Biden
00:09:28.940
It was just, do you like Donald Trump or do you not like Donald Trump?
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?
00:09:50.300
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?
00:10:12.020
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.
00:10:36.580
Mr. President, let me know if I can ask you a question.
00:10:44.100
With the most recent hack by the Russians, would you say that this means that...
00:11:10.440
I'll be in better shape to talk to you about it.
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
00:11:57.240
He can't even figure out where to find the notes to...
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.
00:12:16.420
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?
00:12:34.700
They were like, look, whatever pocket he goes into, the notes need to be in there.
00:12:43.380
If I had a million dollars, I'd bet it on that.
00:12:53.140
There's no reason to put the same notes in two pockets.
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
00:13:18.120
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.
00:13:43.200
Maybe we'll find out that behind closed doors, he's a totally different person.
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.
00:14:05.000
And even when he's, quote-unquote, on his game, it's still not impressive.
00:14:10.580
There's not a moment where he comes out and you're like, okay, all right, maybe he's okay.
00:14:16.440
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
00:14:33.340
And if someone, you know, if someone walks in the room and starts talking to you, you're
00:14:47.400
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
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
00:15:15.240
Jen Psaki was talking about, they're going to go door-to-door and get Americans vaccinated
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
00:15:45.780
And then, later in the afternoon, Joe Biden talked about going community-by-community
00:15:53.540
A special focus on five ways to make gains in getting those of you who are unvaccinated
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
00:16:16.440
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.
00:16:24.860
To get help to the remaining people protected from the virus.
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
00:16:48.200
I can't imagine it's going to be a widespread thing.
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.
00:17:16.140
You know, I'm a little turned off by some of the side effects I've heard about.
00:17:21.020
Even if it's just people getting sick for a day or two.
00:17:28.140
There is a group of people within the group of people who are not a subgroup, if you would,
00:17:39.680
There are a lot of people who just don't freaking go to the doctor.
00:17:42.700
I remember reading some poll about the percentage of people in America that never go to the
00:17:56.220
Some people have like jobs and they're busy and these places aren't open.
00:18:03.240
There's some percentage of people left that are convincible, right?
00:18:14.100
This idea, though, that you're going to go door to door in a country...
00:18:19.340
It's like you're going to push against those people.
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
00:18:36.800
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.
00:18:48.720
Like, obviously, they don't care about getting these people vaccinated.
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.
00:19:07.360
How many people are going to roll up their sleeve right then and there?
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
00:19:20.800
But be on the lookout for new travel scams designed by cybercriminals to take advantage
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
00:19:38.540
And don't rush into giving away your information to suspicious sites.
00:19:41.280
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
00:19:45.240
Every day we post our information and we put it at risk on the internet in an instant.
00:19:51.320
We're talking about cybercriminals stealing what is yours, sometimes harming your finances,
00:19:55.100
sometimes harming your credit, sometimes worse.
00:19:57.160
That's why it's a good thing that there is LifeLock.
00:19:59.340
LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity thefts and they'll send you an alert.
00:20:03.520
Plus, you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
00:20:07.440
No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
00:20:11.960
but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock by Norton.

Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern Time, 6 to 8 Central,
00:20:46.960
One quick point here on the vaccines and the fact that the media obviously doesn't care about
00:20:56.500
That's going to push people away from the vaccine.
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.
00:21:24.660
And the doctor was like, look, you should get it.
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.
00:21:41.600
Like, just get it in the hands of the freaking doctors who people trust, right?
00:21:45.280
Like, you know, their local doctor who's giving them the information.
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
00:22:11.060
And we think this is the best thing that we can do.
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.
00:22:39.340
It would influence millions of people who are supporters of his and remind them that,
00:22:54.240
I listened to Donald Trump on the Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton show.
00:23:00.700
And they had the president of the United States on the air.
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.
00:23:39.200
And as he pointed out, again, the entire media said it was impossible, and he was lying about it.
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.
00:23:58.340
How about have a nice softball interview where you say to Donald Trump, hey, guess what, Don?
00:24:05.240
Mr. President, you came up, you were able to shepherd these.
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.
00:24:49.680
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.
00:25:04.460
And Donald Trump, what do you think about the vaccines?
00:25:13.420
They don't have to talk about what you just said.
00:25:23.640
Let Donald Trump come in there and say, you know what?
00:25:33.260
Because obviously, you care about people getting the vaccine.
00:25:39.180
You're going to put the pandemic above your personal pride, right, guys?
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.
00:26:19.100
You can't get to 56.5% with just Democrats, guys.
00:26:25.780
So that's not just Republicans saying, yeah, he's not fully executing.
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.
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?
00:26:53.860
Well, 36.4% believe he is directing all policy and agenda.
00:27:10.760
You know, you got 83.6% of Republican voters that don't believe he's doing it.
00:27:18.460
And 58, a little over 58% of independent voters do not believe he's fully executing his job.
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.
00:27:33.620
Or you just watch CNN, which doesn't cover any of it.
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.
00:27:50.660
I mean, he does not wearing his pants backwards like the previous president, Donald Trump.
00:28:02.980
And I would say that, you know, you talked about the notes in his jacket pocket being the same.
00:28:08.760
Doesn't he carry the names of all the, you know, the names of dead soldiers and the deaths.
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.
00:28:25.520
He didn't pull the first one out and go, oh, these are the numbers that I carry with me every day.
00:28:41.540
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.
00:29:18.700
Because I thought also she had come out previously.
00:29:25.420
So in elementary school, she feared that she was lesbian.
00:29:37.760
So you have to assume that I guess before that she was either straight or nothing.
00:29:50.400
And a lot of kids in elementary school think in those terms.
00:29:54.200
A lot of kids are like, I think I might be a lesbian.
00:29:58.200
Then in middle school, she came out to family and close friends as bisexual.
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.
00:30:26.640
Like you're just going to like whatever, whatever.
00:30:28.560
If you meet someone, you like them, you go for it.
00:30:35.880
It's not limited to just men or women, I think.
00:30:39.280
But where bisexual is, you are attracted to both.
00:30:44.440
Pansexual is you're not necessarily attracted to either.
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.
00:30:55.280
So you might be attracted to absolutely everything.
00:31:11.320
That is people only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond.
00:31:21.640
I think demisexual is the way we're supposed to be.
00:31:26.700
Now, I think, like, when you talk about sexual attraction, I can look at, you know,
00:31:43.300
But, like, I, so you, she's saying you can't be attracted visually.
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.
00:31:58.700
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
00:32:16.120
She claims that nobody has to come out because everybody's sexuality will be assumed fluid.
00:32:25.220
In the world that we live in now, it force feeds cisgender heterosexuality.
00:32:31.180
Coming out of the closet is a lifelong process of unpacking internalized social constructions
00:32:38.840
How many times have I said exactly the same thing?
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.
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.
00:33:15.820
You know, because they say like, oh, well, we wanted to come out and then we realized
00:33:22.400
And obviously that means evil conservatives like us, right?
00:33:30.560
You can do whatever you want to do on your own.
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
00:33:47.380
If we, if we conveyed to you that we wanted to hear about this stuff, that's our mistake.
00:34:04.360
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
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
00:34:30.880
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.
00:34:43.880
I mean, I've got 16 cents jingling around in my pocket right now.
00:34:53.640
If I had gotten the 16 cents in savings, I was going to go buy some Bitcoin.
00:34:59.380
I'm going to take it and put it into index funds.
00:35:04.940
I want to take a safe, conservative approach here.
00:35:25.940
I might try just to be crazy with one penny of it.
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.
00:36:01.540
The critical race theory just being jammed down our children's throats.
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.
00:36:23.440
More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:32.720
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:41.600
When did you first hear, Stu, about CRT, critical race theory?
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.
00:37:00.220
But it was always an element of that black liberation theology.
00:37:06.080
But as a prominent term in our culture, it's pretty recent.
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
00:37:34.800
We'll get into that, tell you about that, coming up in 60 seconds.
00:37:50.200
Raytheon, another gigantic American corporation that is involved in critical race theory, or
00:38:04.440
And apparently, they're taking their white employees to school.
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
00:38:34.080
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?
00:39:13.160
When you confront it, you just got to confront it, come out from behind a door or something
00:39:19.200
And then you jump out and you make a really loud noise and it runs away.
00:39:26.720
So, you identified and scared away your privilege.
00:39:29.640
Have you stepped aside for minority voices yet?
00:39:36.200
I'm not going to step aside really for anybody.
00:39:40.400
Well, these minority voices, though, Stu, are more important than your own.
00:39:51.620
Understanding what we're doing is encouraging people to listen to others based on their skin
00:39:58.780
Now, has there ever been an example of this being utilized and turned out poorly?
00:40:07.660
Yes, there's many examples of that, but we're ignoring those now?
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.
00:40:28.200
Not even one time in your life should you make any decision based on skin color.
00:40:36.120
Not the appropriate way to go about it anymore.
00:40:39.580
And by the way, we should point out, Raytheon is our second largest defense contractor.
00:40:45.500
They should be thinking about building giant missiles.
00:40:57.980
Intersectionality should not be the focus of Raytheon.
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.
00:41:18.860
Can you walk us through the difference between equality and equity, Stu?
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.
00:41:44.060
And instead strive for equity, which, quote, focuses on the equality of the outcome.
00:41:51.820
Do you remember when, like, the conservative attack against the left-wing philosophy was
00:42:17.320
This word, which sounds like the other word, but is not the other word.
00:42:23.740
And so this is essentially Marxism they're talking about, because they want to guarantee
00:42:33.160
Of course, Marxism in reality has no such thing as equality of outcome.
00:42:41.800
Everyone comes out poorly, except for the ruling class, which has a pretty sweet life.
00:42:47.920
Ask the Uyghurs if communism provides equality of outcome.
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
00:43:07.660
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.
00:43:23.160
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.
00:43:41.380
It seems to be a collection of white people who talk about their whiteness.
00:43:47.940
That, their whites, like, for example, let me just give you a theoretical, real world.
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.
00:43:57.640
Something like, they used to have these groups, people wore hoods to the meetings, and they
00:44:04.300
Where Robert Byrd was a big member, big proponent of local white spaces.
00:44:08.960
Yeah, that was something that used to happen among Democrats all the time, and now they
00:44:15.900
You know, the Democrats brought us the KKK, and now we have local white spaces, which are
00:44:20.400
totally different than the KKK, in that they're also white people getting together to talk about
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.
00:44:43.280
Sometimes you get to the point where you're just like, you know what, let's not try it,
00:44:47.480
Let's not remix it and see what we can come up with and try it again.
00:44:58.440
Let's not try to come up with a different way of doing a local white space.
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.
00:45:34.200
Second largest in the country after Lockheed Martin.
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,
00:45:58.320
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.
00:46:12.660
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?
00:46:33.800
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?
00:46:52.620
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.
00:47:12.800
So there is maybe one, but we shouldn't probably think about it and learn anything from it, right?
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,
00:47:30.160
So let's say you have a really good idea for a missile.
00:47:33.800
But, you know, a Mongolian person is in the room, a Mongolian-American, and they say, you know what?
00:47:44.260
I believe the missiles should be shot with slingshots.
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.
00:48:01.220
And that would be part of deconstructing my privilege, wouldn't it?
00:48:05.540
And understanding how white male behavior is devastating to racial minorities.
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.
00:48:22.420
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.
00:48:39.360
Although, I wouldn't want to send my kid to a school that was doing it.
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?
00:49:02.300
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.
00:49:16.520
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?
00:49:27.420
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.
00:49:43.520
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.
00:49:52.840
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.
00:50:06.300
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.
00:50:30.580
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.
00:50:47.820
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.
00:51:05.520
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.
00:51:24.500
And skates absolutely have the right to put standards on what is taught in the curriculum of their schools.
00:51:31.980
The federal government doesn't have much of a role in it, but the state government does.
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.
00:51:47.620
61% of Americans don't want critical race theory taught in their schools.
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.
00:52:15.400
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.
00:52:38.060
Go out, scoop it up, bring it back inside the air-conditioning and enjoy it.
00:52:47.340
You can follow Rectech on all their social media and sign up for their newsletter.
00:53:17.860
I need to give a call to Raytheon and see if they can give me some advice on that.
00:53:26.460
One of my books, Imperial, and it's rounding up all the little books around it to try to
00:53:37.180
Have you ever seen Bookshelf 2 invade Bookshelf 3 before?
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.
00:53:57.840
I start, do I just give money to BIPOC people around me?
00:54:01.940
If I see a BIPOC, like a black indigenous person of color, I just give them money.
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.
00:54:29.220
This is stuff that is from internal documents from Ravion in this particular case.
00:54:37.180
And luckily, I think it's so offensive to the foundations of America to say we should
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.
00:55:00.960
What if we do judge people by their skin color?
00:55:07.420
And by the way, that word discriminate is used in their literature.
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.
00:55:35.620
You know, it's like, I have to tell you the truth here.
00:55:56.400
I don't think we anyone should have held slaves.
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,
00:56:17.260
What you've just said is devastating to racial minorities.
00:56:22.120
You might want to decolonize your bookshelf, my friend.
00:56:33.460
I will say I don't pick my books based on the skin color of the authors.
00:56:54.860
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:57:00.100
Yesterday we told you about this sort of attack on Neiman Marcus.
00:57:18.860
People just went into the store, smashed the display case, and stole extremely expensive
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.
00:57:43.020
And then you see as they're going away, there's a guy filming everyone running away on his
00:57:53.420
So either there's just like an S&M guy out there filming people relieving Neiman Marcus
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.
00:58:13.800
I mean, there's got to be a way to prevent that.
00:58:18.440
Maybe it was just a security officer for one of the stores across the street and they
00:58:27.560
And if this kind of stuff is going to happen, wouldn't you?
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.
00:58:50.720
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
00:59:02.520
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?
00:59:16.900
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
00:59:28.560
Uh, and they stole really expensive purses and ran out the front door.
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
00:59:45.640
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
00:59:55.980
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
01:00:18.060
So the officers are, are powerless in this particular situation here.
01:00:24.680
I mean, this is thousands and thousands of dollars.
01:00:28.980
And I guess, I guess we're supposed to not care because, you know, Neiman Marcus is a big
01:00:41.580
Well, you know, the equality of opportunity says each person can try to work their entire
01:00:47.460
If, if you so choose for some dumb reason, uh, the equality of outcome is, well, you know
01:00:53.520
That rich person, uh, in New York has that purse.
01:00:56.680
So should the person running out of the store with it?
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
01:01:19.420
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
01:01:38.480
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.
01:01:52.540
If nobody can raise a hand to any of those who are stealing from them, then how do you
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
01:02:31.380
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
01:02:48.100
And so, we all go around and live together and operate under these rules of society that
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
01:03:28.480
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
01:03:55.660
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
01:04:14.720
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
01:04:32.480
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
01:04:51.060
And if we do not have society pushing back on it, it will just escalate and escalate and
01:05:00.580
There has to be some force on the opposite side or it just continues to happen.
01:05:10.920
And they have to figure out a way in these stores to make sure this doesn't happen anymore.
01:05:16.460
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.
01:05:24.320
You can understand where it might happen at a 7-Eleven.
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
01:05:42.740
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
01:06:02.760
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.
01:06:17.660
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
01:06:45.240
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.
01:06:59.520
Because they did something completely normal that every single person in our society has
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.
01:07:20.760
But we all understand that if they say no to you, you should respect it.
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
01:07:33.400
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?
01:07:41.460
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?
01:08:06.060
Well, we talked about the guy yesterday in the bucket in the subway.
01:08:09.560
In the bucket, they're cleaning the floors with the mop in the bucket.
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.
01:08:49.400
And make sure to do the same with Studios America.
01:08:56.020
I happen to be wearing today, Pat, the learn, then protest.
01:09:08.520
What's happening now is a lot of people are protesting.
01:09:20.000
Well, what if I heard about it from a friend of mine?
01:09:25.420
What if you were to look into the details of the crime?
01:09:34.040
And you wait until you've learned to protest...
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.
01:10:06.680
Now, if I went to one place, are they aggregated there somewhere where you can get all your
01:10:18.760
If you go to studoesmerch.com, you can just click on Pat Gray and...
01:10:32.720
According to the University of Maryland, 13 people...
01:10:37.840
This is the biggest threat America faces right now.
01:10:56.780
According to the University of Maryland, 13 people die each year as a result of white supremacist
01:11:22.240
It's the same number as the number of people who die from vending machines falling on them
01:11:29.980
13 people die being squashed by vending machines every year.
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?
01:11:59.380
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.
01:12:22.760
It was, it was, uh, it was, it was Black Lives Matter.
01:12:32.580
That's more than the white supremacy every year.
01:12:49.020
Uh, so hey, we're, uh, almost out of Afghanistan.
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.
01:13:16.640
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
01:13:28.740
I mean, they've been low for a long time, but we know they're going to be going up, especially
01:13:34.480
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.
01:13:43.280
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?
01:13:58.640
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
01:14:07.620
Maybe consolidating debt that you have into something that's going to be easier to pay off
01:14:12.880
Uh, that comes from a trusted family company that has been helping people just like you and
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.
01:15:12.100
Are we, and are we the last of the coalition to still be there?
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.
01:15:45.360
But if you're going to have an embassy there, you should have troops there to protect the
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.
01:16:14.620
And, you know, so, I guess what happened was, there were some rumors that were going
01:16:20.960
I mean, we all, they presented this in the media.
01:16:34.460
Biden just said, he just changed the schedule to September and then left in July after the
01:16:40.860
So, like, he, this is how the, how the left gets away with this crap with the media.
01:16:48.380
But, I guess when you have someone who you're rooting for, it's a lot easier to justify such
01:16:53.920
But, basically, there were the rumor that they were going to be leaving.
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.
01:17:04.720
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?
01:17:13.160
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.
01:17:39.000
If you don't pull out and we don't ever come home and we leave troops there forever, we probably
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
01:18:08.340
And, look, you can make the argument that our mission should have been more narrow, and
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.
01:18:39.060
I do hesitate at times with this idea that we should judge a war by how long it goes on
01:18:48.840
You know, like, first of all, this has not been a war in the way that we think of warfare
01:18:59.220
You mentioned earlier, Pat, late last hour, that 13 people per year die from getting hit
01:19:16.340
Less than the amount of people who die from vending machines falling over them in the United
01:19:25.380
But, I mean, when you look at the deaths that occurred, several of them were motor vehicle
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,
01:19:58.760
Hostile fire, small arms file, green on blue attack.
01:20:12.000
Non-hostile aircraft crash, and then hostile fire IED attack.
01:20:19.260
A traditional warfare attack, I'd say you would say one.
01:20:24.740
I mean, you wouldn't necessarily think off the top of your head of a green on blue type
01:20:32.200
And, you know, if you have a kid over there who died in an aircraft crash, you're not going
01:20:39.740
And we have aircraft crashes from military test pilots in the United States that happen.
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?
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.
01:21:30.240
It wasn't like, okay, we're going to take this country and we're going to maintain it.
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.
01:21:46.880
Yeah, I mean, if you look at the fatalities, U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan, really, you
01:21:58.720
Now, again, 498 was 10 minutes of a battle of previous wars.
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
01:22:14.320
But war has changed in a way that I think is positive, even though, you know, there's
01:22:22.780
not, there's no longer necessarily these days where you walk away with the parades and everything
01:22:29.660
Then it went to 415, 310, 128, and it's been under 100 since 2015 or 14.
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
01:23:06.220
Did you happen to read the, the latest Malcolm Gladwell book, The Bomber Mafia, by any chance?
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,
01:24:11.400
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
01:24:25.420
And there was a lot of that during Vietnam to clear away the jungle.
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.
01:24:39.840
I'm not like anybody who thinks the opposite of that, but like that was the choice at the
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?
01:25:07.000
Look, Afghanistan is, is a different situation.
01:25:10.080
And to sit here and say, like, you look at these years, years.
01:25:25.440
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
01:25:43.640
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,
01:25:59.640
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
01:26:17.280
look at when we judge a war should be, of course, the outcome.
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
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
01:26:39.800
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
01:26:52.260
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.
01:27:03.420
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
01:27:15.480
And we can take a little solace out of that, I think.
01:27:38.260
I mean, they have had no deaths in Afghanistan since 2016.
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.
01:27:53.600
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.
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.
01:28:19.800
I think it was, I think a land war in Asia was number one, but only slightly less well-known.
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.
01:28:45.360
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.
01:29:02.260
Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B-E-C-K is, uh, our number to call.
01:29:19.040
I would just like to touch on something that I've heard.
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.
01:29:37.060
Um, you know, in my opinion, if Democrats want to know what happened, all they got to
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
01:30:14.880
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
01:30:52.600
You had a Democrat mayors and governors not confronting these people.
01:30:58.280
You had, uh, you had prosecutors and judges letting people go.
01:31:05.380
They probably figured, you know, uh, I should get equal treatment under law.
01:31:09.900
I mean, you had Nancy Pelosi say people will do what people will do.
01:31:17.760
You still shouldn't have done it because conservatives, especially know better.
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
01:31:32.400
There were some that did really bad things and those people should be held responsible
01:31:36.020
However, the generalized point here of normalizing political violence being a bad idea.
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.
01:32:01.600
25 people killed last, last year in those riots?
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.
01:32:25.640
We'll have to check the stats on it, but I'm pretty sure it's not solved yet.
01:32:34.020

The Nancy Pelosi sucks pen is maybe one of the greatest products of all time.
01:34:41.300
We always get emails and social media messages from people who just bring them to their office.
01:34:51.600
They give it to their clients to use sign paperwork.
01:34:59.780
Or their liberal friends who pick it up and write things and then realize that they're
01:35:07.600
NancyPelosiSucksPen.com if you want to check that out.
01:35:10.340
Found out in the last little while how racist virtually everything is.
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
01:35:58.780
Minority neighborhoods are the recipients of all that pollution.
01:36:04.060
So they're saying from the town fireworks themselves.
01:36:18.360
I specifically, when I went to Zillow, I searched for non-firework debride communities.
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?
01:36:54.340
Educators condemn the $1 million Dismantling Racism in Mathematics program funded by Bill Gates.
01:37:02.820
Which tells teachers not to push students to find correct answers.
01:37:14.440
You start getting right answers and you're getting into white territory there, I guess.
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,
01:37:35.860
Why would you make those things out to be racism when they're all good things?
01:37:43.680
And what they're saying is they're not good things, right?
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.
01:38:02.140
But if he was going to say, what's wrong with people of color?
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.
01:38:26.780
Those people are the ones telling you the same things that David Duke told you last week.
01:38:35.040
And you know, David Duke doesn't even say those kinds of things anymore.
01:38:43.820
So the things that they're actually saying about minorities are worse than what David
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.
01:39:01.820
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.
01:39:29.540
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.
01:39:36.080
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.
01:39:55.860
And they've been making news lately a little bit.
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.
01:40:28.660
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.
01:40:42.860
That exact term was used in the Raytheon anti-racist intersectionality literature that came out yesterday.
01:41:00.580
When you are obsessed with race, you make bad decisions.
01:41:05.540
When you are obsessed with skin color, you wind up running a society that is terrible in every way imaginable.
01:41:23.840
Let me tell you one more thing that is incredibly racist that has to be done away with.
01:41:37.140
Denying evolution is a form of white supremacy.
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.
01:42:50.180
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.
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.
01:43:52.420
A couple of things, just language-wise, that they do in these articles, Pat.
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.
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.
01:44:24.320
And it's like, well, no one's literally black, right?
01:44:36.140
It's like when there was, you know, gay and queer were terms at one point seemingly-
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.
01:44:56.820
Now they're terms that are in, they're in the acronym.
01:45:04.260
And I would, by the way, after the Cuomo family announcement, LGBTQQIA2D+.
01:45:29.880
You can't take a moment to just memorize the 47 initials I just gave you?
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.
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.
01:46:32.300
Well, this land is stolen land and black people still aren't free.
01:46:37.980
Okay, well, you can spend an hour talking about how this is not stolen land.
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.
01:47:13.440
Several commenters condemned him for being naive, demeaned his intelligence by calling him
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.
01:47:57.180
I would love for people who were so upset by it.
01:48:00.520
Probably Cori Bush being critical of the lockdowns.
01:48:07.320
We can't go into a restaurant and sit right next to somebody who we don't know yet.
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
01:48:41.740
And as a BIPOC person, if you don't think the right way, they're going to beat you to
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.
01:49:14.820
But credit to the guy who steps up and says, hey, I love it.
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.
01:49:41.340
Fill it in for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program.
