The Glenn Beck Program - Why the Founding Fathers Would Have Impeached Biden

00:00:00.000 American Giant in the 60s, 95% of the clothing Americans bought was made right here in the U.S.

00:00:05.420 Now 97% is made overseas. There's a company doing something that's different. It's called

00:00:10.480 American Giant. Two years ago, we met the founder of American Giant. He's an awesome dude and just

00:00:16.460 was like, hey, I care about this country. I care about American manufacturing and I care about

00:00:20.280 giving people a good product and value for their money. It's a crazy idea that American Giant has

00:00:25.900 taken in-house and has made a whole business out of. Let me tell you about American Giant. It's

00:00:30.680 American-Giant.com slash Glenn. American-Giant.com slash Glenn. This is great clothing you're

00:00:36.940 absolutely going to love and you need to check it out right now. American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

00:00:55.900 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:25.880 excitement. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:35.660 Welcome. Pat and Stu for Glenn today. The country's going to hell in a handbasket. I don't know if you're

00:01:43.480 aware of that. I hadn't noticed. You hadn't noticed? No. Yeah. Wow. Really? Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

00:01:49.420 It's a big handbasket because it's a big country, but we're headed to hell. Over 300 million people

00:01:55.900 in one handbasket. That's a lot. That's a lot. You should usually, you'd think, okay, at least two

00:02:01.380 handbaskets, but no, this is just one really big one. Uh, we'll get into the, uh, the situation with

00:02:08.400 the defense secretary, which I think is somewhat interesting. The electric surgery you just had

00:02:13.480 done. Um, we'll talk about that and, and much more on the way to hell, uh, in 60 seconds.

00:02:21.280 Well, if you're in a situation like Pat's describing, you may want a little sleep.

00:02:24.300 And of course, if you can't sleep, that's that, that really can be hell. If you've ever been

00:02:28.440 through it, you know, it doesn't just ruin your night. It ruins the whole next day. And if you're

00:02:33.680 unfortunate enough to have sleep trouble on a regular basis, you're pretty much guaranteed to

00:02:37.580 walk around feeling like a zombie most of the time. And that's not fun. Zombies don't,

00:02:42.320 does a zombie ever look happy? That's never happened in any zombie movie. They've never

00:02:46.240 looked happy. Just like, uh, make sure you check out a relief factor sleep. This is just like the

00:02:51.100 regular relief factor that you take for pain. Relief factor sleep is 100% drug free. It is, uh,

00:02:57.160 got a blend of all sorts of natural ingredients. It's designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing

00:03:02.440 anxiety and distress, improving your mood and promoting relaxation. Glenn loves,

00:03:07.580 it. And I think you will too. The first bottle is only $19.95 at 20 bucks to get the feeling of

00:03:13.080 complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away to dreamland. And then hopefully don't wake

00:03:18.880 up in hell. Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number four relief, 800,

00:03:24.600 the number four relief, or go to relieffactor.com. It's relieffactor.com.

00:03:29.340 All right. Uh, Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense, number two in line, uh, after the

00:03:41.100 commander in chief, this is the, the guy who essentially is in charge of the Pentagon and

00:03:46.080 the, and the defense, uh, of our nation. Now, is that an important job? It seems

00:03:50.260 somewhat important. Okay. You know, I don't want to go out on a limb and say it's critical.

00:03:55.820 You don't want to overstate it. No, no, no. Um, but, uh, but the guy was having surgery

00:04:04.760 and look, I am all about medical privacy, but when you're the defense secretary and you're

00:04:13.060 going in for surgery of this kind, sorry. Yeah. You don't, you don't, it's part of the

00:04:18.580 gig. Yeah. You don't get, there's certain levels of privacy you give up when you're a

00:04:22.800 public figure serving in the government like this. When you're president of the United States,

00:04:27.620 if you're going in for prostate surgery, uh, we need to know about it. Yeah. When you're

00:04:32.920 defense secretary and you're going in for prostate surgery, we need to know about it.

00:04:37.580 And so do, by the way, uh, your second in command who he didn't tell, um, she didn't

00:04:44.160 know. I mean, it's certainly three days. All you're saying is true, but it's even worse

00:04:50.240 that they didn't, he wasn't even telling the people around him, right? Like it's horrible

00:04:55.180 that this would happen for the American people who do need to know this stuff. Yeah. But I

00:05:01.800 mean, the fact that it wasn't being passed around inside the white house, it's incredible.

00:05:07.280 Isn't this a fireable offense, Pat? Oh, absolutely. The guy should be gone right now. I mean, bless

00:05:12.880 his heart. I hope he has a speedy and full recovery. Um, but, uh, yeah, you gotta go.

00:05:20.420 You gotta go. And judgment is completely awry. Completely. And we've seen that in all of his

00:05:25.940 decisions and actions too, but this really is the topping on the cake and yeah, you need

00:05:32.840 to be fired today. Yeah. I mean, today there may be a part of this that is, and I'm, I'm trying

00:05:39.480 not to do this, but there may be a part of this for me that is like when you say, well,

00:05:44.940 you know, Tom Brady came in after curfew last night, the night before the Superbowl. I, he,

00:05:50.540 you know, our rules say right here, he misses the next game. I don't know if it's Tom Brady.

00:05:56.380 Maybe I come up with a justification to let him play in the game, but when it's your third

00:06:01.540 backup lineman that hasn't actually made a block all year and every 47% of snaps, he's allowed

00:06:10.400 a pressure. I don't know. At that point, I'm really interested in the firing thing. Yeah.

00:06:15.520 You know, I'm not like, you know what? Sorry, you're not going to be on the roster. And like,

00:06:19.640 that's a no brainer. He hasn't been good anyway. It's a no brainer. And even if they think he's

00:06:24.500 been good, this is too big an offense to allow it. You can't. He tells people after the fact,

00:06:32.700 like four days after the fact, yeah, I just, I had some electric surgery and then some

00:06:36.760 complications. The elective surgery, you're thinking, okay, it's, you know, he didn't want

00:06:41.080 to tell anybody because he was having hemorrhoid surgery or whatever. Uh, okay. Maybe he had a mole

00:06:46.160 removed from his back. That's the elective surgery you're thinking about. You don't think he's having

00:06:52.140 his prostate removed because he's got prostate cancer. That's not elective surgery. Well, it is

00:06:59.460 because he was choosing between that and radiation therapy. I guess that's what we're supposed to

00:07:04.920 believe. I haven't even heard that excuse from him, but I'm sure that's what they'll use. Yeah.

00:07:08.740 Cause they, they really did try to lie to us about this. Yeah. Absolutely. On top of the way they

00:07:14.580 handled it. They tried to make it seem like a mole was being removed. Yeah. That's what they were

00:07:19.260 hoping you thought. Why? I don't know. I mean, I mean, if anything, it creates a little sympathy

00:07:24.180 for the guy that he's dealing with prostate cancer. Nobody wants to go through that. Right. I feel

00:07:28.480 terrible for him. I mean, that guy's a person that's really, really rough to go through. Yep. But

00:07:32.760 we have a structure of government and like the average person I think can be hit with this news

00:07:38.240 and say, Oh, look, I don't really want to be talking about my prostate on the national stage.

00:07:42.420 So I also would not want to tell. And you don't have to, if you're not secretary of, of defense,

00:07:47.580 exactly. You don't have to, the average person wouldn't have to, although we have seen Glenn

00:07:52.260 go down certain roads in the past of disclosing medical information. I wish he didn't.

00:07:56.580 From more elective surgery than this. Yes. Much more elective. The elective YouTube video was the

00:08:02.600 thing I had the problem with on that one. I remember that. Years ago, for a long time listeners

00:08:07.720 only. Um, but when you're talking about, um, the average person, I think you hear that news and you

00:08:14.100 think I can understand it a little bit. Like, I don't want people talking about my prostate. I get

00:08:18.500 that. Right. When you are a military guy who talks about the chain of command endlessly throughout your

00:08:25.160 entire career, who rises to the second level of secretary of defense and, and whose entire existence

00:08:31.900 is based on process. Yeah. Right. Like that is all you are when, when you, when you, when you rise to

00:08:37.820 that level, your entire makeup is supposed to be based on following the correct process because it's

00:08:44.460 so vital, even when it doesn't seem vital. Here's the situation where it does. We're in the middle of

00:08:49.600 multiple wars that we have our hands in for God knows what reasons. And we are in the middle of

00:08:55.440 doing all of that. You need to know where the secretary of defense is all the time.

00:08:59.420 This is so egregious that not only should he be fired, but so should the president of the United

00:09:06.560 States. Again, is this another Tom Brady thing? Like where you're just saying like he sucks and

00:09:10.840 this is a good excuse to fire? No, no. These are fireable offenses for him and the people who make

00:09:17.900 the decisions about firing. Why is it fire? I mean, look, Biden should be fired for a multitude of

00:09:23.520 reasons. Why this one though? Because they're still trying to soft pedal this and say that

00:09:29.260 he has done such a great job that, uh, we still want him in the gig. The post game lying is a

00:09:35.040 problem. No. Yeah. It's a big problem. Yeah. And did you see KJP's answer yesterday to questions?

00:09:41.380 Do we have to? Oh my gosh. Yeah. I think this one is worth it. She is so bad. Was she reading it?

00:09:47.140 Uh, I'm not sure. Let's, let's take a look.

00:09:50.140 How did the president not know until this morning that it was cancer? How did five days

00:09:54.900 go without knowing the death? That is something that we're trying to find.

00:09:58.040 They're trying to find it out. I hear you, but that is something that we are going to get

00:10:01.940 a sense of this process, right? Get a sense of the process. That's why they're going to

00:10:04.140 do a review. That's why the Pentagon is going to do a review. That's why the chief of staff

00:10:07.740 put out a memo to cabinets, uh, cabinet, uh, to the cabinets on protocols here to get a

00:10:12.020 sense of what, how they've been moving with this process and how we're going to continue

00:10:16.380 to move forward. We do not want this to happen again, obviously, but you know, we're going

00:10:21.040 to get a better sense once the Pentagon does the 30 day review to see how this occurred.

00:10:25.940 Obviously this is not something we want to see.

00:10:28.160 So it takes five days for him to learn about it. And then they launch a 30 day review to

00:10:33.260 figure out why they didn't learn about it. That's a, what, if there's not a, if that's

00:10:38.580 not a government process, I don't know what is.

00:10:40.420 Well, I understand what you're saying, Stu, but what we're trying to do right now is get

00:10:44.840 a better sense of the process. And you don't know the process. I don't know that we're,

00:10:49.500 we're getting a better sense of it right now. So you're process, you don't, you're not going

00:10:53.080 to know what it is. You're just thinking of a sense of, we're going to get a sense of

00:10:56.020 what a generalized, how long does it take to actually know what it is and not just a sense

00:11:00.900 of it? Well, I don't know yet. Cause we've, we've got to get a better sense of what that

00:11:05.320 process is. Okay. And then I can tell you how long that process might take once I get a

00:11:10.520 sense of it. Okay. So sense then review. Yeah. Then, then we figure out, we don't know

00:11:17.480 because we don't have the sense of it yet. This is, it's cause I, I agree with you that

00:11:22.920 it's the incompetence is incredible. And yeah, I mentioned this yesterday that I had talked

00:11:28.020 to a couple of people about this and both of them said the same thing, which was, Hey,

00:11:32.180 like, of course, I'm not surprised they didn't tell Joe Biden, but like, can you believe they

00:11:36.780 didn't tell the rest of the cabinet? And it's like, or anybody at the Pentagon that we're in

00:11:41.600 that world where everyone's like, ah, you know, like, of course they're not going to tell Joe

00:11:45.140 Biden. He's completely incompetent and incoherent. It's unacceptable. That's unacceptable in and of

00:11:48.980 itself. And then the fact that they did again, lie about this. It's one thing, like you could make

00:11:54.320 the argument in this situation that Joe Biden is essentially the victim of this, right? He was

00:11:58.780 his, his guy who he put in, of course, in power, um, but comes to the table and lies to him, hides

00:12:06.400 something from him. He doesn't know he's the victim, blah, blah, blah. I can see how you could

00:12:11.460 make that case, but you can't make that case after they start lying about it. After they come out and

00:12:15.480 say, Hey, uh, yeah, it was an elective surgery. Okay. Like you're going on. Why would you go on that

00:12:20.840 technicality? Why would you go on? Just say surgery. Yeah. Right. I mean, like you're going to have to

00:12:26.680 tell everybody eventually anyway. Why would you use the word elective? You use that to try to

00:12:32.140 disarm people like, Oh, it was no big deal. Relax. To get what? 48 hours of cover on this? Crazy.

00:12:39.480 Crazy, Pat. And I guess they think by then we'll come up with some other, you know, excuse. And it

00:12:45.100 was, well, the excuse was we'll get a sense of this soon. Yeah. Right. That's about it. That's what

00:12:49.560 they came up with in the 48 hours, which honestly is more than I thought Corinne Jean-Pierre was capable of

00:12:53.740 when it comes to reasoning. Oh man. I mean, they're now trotting out Kirby for what? 30,

00:12:59.340 40, 50% of these news conferences. She's not even answering most of these questions anymore.

00:13:03.120 No. And they trotted him out again yesterday. They did. Uh, we'll get to that in just a minute. Um,

00:13:07.420 in 60 seconds. Today about American financing, it's 2024. A lot of Americans are trying to get

00:13:13.680 their finances in order. And a lot of them are worried about what's going to happen to them. If

00:13:18.780 the economy continues to go down the tubes, you might be one of them. And I get it. This is really

00:13:23.920 scary time. And to be trying to play catch up with those debts that always seem to be one step ahead

00:13:29.400 can be difficult. But right now there's great news in the market for homeowners. Interest rates have

00:13:34.060 dropped and now are the low fives. Wow. We're going the right direction. Uh, it's a lot lower than they

00:13:39.540 were just last year. And that's positive. If you've been buried in high interest credit card debt,

00:13:44.260 now is the time to break free. American financing can help you access the cash in your home to pay

00:13:49.500 off that high interest debt. Last year, their salary based mortgage consultants help customers

00:13:54.100 save an average of 854 bucks a month. It's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise. Does that sound

00:14:00.620 nice? What a way to start the new year. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage

00:14:06.140 payments, which also sounds kind of nice. Call American financing. It's 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

00:14:36.980 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Um, I think if the Republican party can't use this to

00:14:43.420 their advantage to win this election in November, they need to disband, just disband the Republican

00:14:51.260 party. This alone should do it. I mean, there's so much that you have on this administration,

00:14:56.940 but I mean, this should be the final straw.

00:15:00.420 Pat, I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on this one. Um, largely because there will be 947

00:15:07.560 other controversies that happened before November. That is true. This will be long forgotten,

00:15:12.720 I'm afraid, by then. But they can't let it be forgotten. This is egregious behavior by these

00:15:18.280 people. It's so irresponsible. Irresponsible, incompetent. For all the criticism they put on

00:15:23.760 the Trump presidency, you know, there's a lot of different ways they attacked Trump while he was

00:15:28.100 in office, right? But one of the ways they did is he just doesn't even know what he's doing,

00:15:31.080 right? Like he's a TV host. He got in there. He has no idea. He's flailing around. He's saying things,

00:15:36.560 you know, he's reversing them the next day. And remember that whole thing about how he would say

00:15:40.020 something and then, you know, Pence and all these aides would come out and kind of say the opposite

00:15:43.900 and try to, you know, back off of what he made a public statement. And a lot of that criticism was

00:15:48.900 like, he doesn't know how this works, right? He's not, he's, he's not in the middle of this and he

00:15:53.200 doesn't know how this works. And that criticism was constant from the media. What, what do you get

00:15:56.880 from this? Joe Biden's been in the government since 1841. Yeah. He still doesn't know how this works.

00:16:02.240 None of these guys know the basics about the American governmental system. They've all been

00:16:08.480 career politicians or career military people. They don't know how to do this yet. Now, you know,

00:16:14.000 like Corinne Jean-Pierre, you give her a break. She can't get through four sentences. She doesn't

00:16:17.700 know how to tie her own shoes. I understand she doesn't know, but somebody there has to know.

00:16:22.700 You would think, okay, John Kirby, maybe he knows. Well, Steve Doocy asked him about this

00:16:28.560 situation yesterday. Here's what Kirby had to say. This is amazing. Okay. Thank you for all

00:16:32.900 the detail on that. But more broadly, why should we believe anything that this administration tells

00:16:38.880 us about anything ever again? I think we all recognize, and I think the Pentagon has been

00:16:45.200 very, very honest with themselves about the challenge to credibility by what has transpired

00:16:55.680 here and by what, and by how hard it was for them to be fully transparent with the American

00:17:06.240 people. I think we all recognize that. And wait, wait, now just give me a second. I know

00:17:10.480 you got another one coming here, but we all recognize that this didn't unfold the way it

00:17:16.720 should have on so many levels, not just the notification process. Pause it for a second,

00:17:20.320 if you could. What a powerful recognition there. Yeah. That this didn't happen the way it should

00:17:27.080 have? No. Really? You do recognize that? Mm-hmm. Come on. I will say this. What geniuses?

00:17:35.400 That answer, which he stopped and paused and stuttered and mumbled for about 45 seconds,

00:17:41.120 was 10 times better than any answer Corinne Jean-Pierre has ever given. Which tells you something.

00:17:46.640 Which tells you something. Because I will say, at the very least, he's acknowledging it didn't go

00:17:51.220 well. Yeah. You know, Corinne Jean-Pierre would not do that. She would read whatever sentence was

00:17:56.400 in front of her, no matter what it said. It could have been about Cheetos, and she'd just start reading

00:18:00.760 it. I mean, look, Kirby sucks, but at least he's attempting to do the job. Corinne Jean-Pierre is

00:18:07.020 the opposite. Yeah. A complete catastrophe every time. And that's why they're rolling him out. Why is he

00:18:12.260 out there? And it's a tough question because why should we believe you on anything? The only answer

00:18:18.840 is you shouldn't. You shouldn't. You shouldn't. That's the only answer. Mm-hmm. You can stumble

00:18:24.180 around for 15, 20 minutes trying to find a better answer. There isn't one. You shouldn't believe us

00:18:31.120 on anything. Everyone in this administration should resign today. That's the answer. Let's see the rest of

00:18:39.680 this. Ugh. The transparency issue. We all recognize that. And I think we all want to make

00:18:44.380 sure we learn from that. Oh. I, uh, it's up to you and your colleagues and it's up to the American

00:18:49.840 people to determine, you know, how much they're going, uh, to ascribe what happened here to our

00:18:54.600 credibility on every single issue. But in, in every way, Secretary Austin has been an exceptional

00:19:00.600 defense secretary. Can you believe that? And he still has the full faith and confidence of the

00:19:03.980 commander in chief. Uh, he has led the department at an incredibly dangerous time for our national

00:19:10.300 security interests and those of our allies and partners. But if the administration is going to go

00:19:13.880 to such great lengths to keep secrets about the defense secretary's health, how can anybody be

00:19:19.920 certain that the administration would not go to the same lengths to keep secret problems with

00:19:25.540 President Biden's health? Which they are. If, you know, they are. If you could logically argue,

00:19:30.600 and you can't, but if you could logically argue that the, wait, wait, wait, wait a second.

00:19:36.540 Just give me a second here, bub. I'll get there. Bub. If, what is going on? If the administration

00:19:42.380 made some sort of Machiavellian effort, uh, across the board to, just to, to keep this from getting

00:19:48.940 public, then I think your question has merit. They did. And, and certainly is a fair one. I don't think

00:19:53.880 it's a fair one because that's not what happened here, Peter. What happened here is the secretary

00:19:58.180 of defense, uh, for whatever reason, I can't answer the question. Why? Uh, that information

00:20:03.480 wasn't shared. It wasn't shared widely in the department and it certainly wasn't shared with

00:20:07.060 you. How can you not answer why? It's not good. It's not good. Which is why, again, we want to

00:20:11.560 learn from this. We want to, we want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. It needs to happen.

00:20:15.500 I mean, what do you mean you don't know why? Why haven't, have you asked? Yeah, right.

00:20:19.860 Why, what do you mean? You're out there talking to the American people right now. You haven't asked yet?

00:20:22.960 What? Can't he just tell you? Why? Have they still not spoken to Lloyd Austin about this

00:20:29.960 situation? How is it? Yeah. How is it that you don't know why? Of course they know why.

00:20:35.080 Incredible. They certainly asked him, Hey, why didn't you tell the president about this?

00:20:39.740 Nobody asked him that question? And what was his response? I, I mean, it's really amazing.

00:20:46.960 This is just, it's unconscionable to me. It's, I don't know that I've ever seen the like of it.

00:20:52.960 And we've seen a lot of stuff over the last several years, especially, but this is incredible.

00:21:01.960 Uh, the secretary of defense has major complications is in an ICU unit for three days or four days,

00:21:13.220 whatever it was after having a prostatectomy. And he didn't tell anybody. Nobody knew about it.

00:21:24.060 Nobody at the Pentagon and nobody at the white house. And now everybody's trying to backpedal and,

00:21:30.320 and figure this out on why we continue to lie to the American people and why this guy still has the

00:21:36.560 full faith and confidence of the commander in chief. How is that possible? Disgrace. I'm sorry.

00:21:41.360 How is that possible? It really is a disgrace. Uh, wow. And it should be, I mean, look, he should

00:21:46.620 be fired for this. I don't care if he's the best secretary of defense in our history, um, which by the

00:21:51.360 way, he is not quite clearly and transparently is not might be the opposite. Uh, but yeah,

00:22:00.080 you should be fired and fired today. This should go absolutely no further. More patents do for Glenn

00:22:07.620 back when it comes to your mobile carrier. If you had to choose between great service or giving your money

00:22:27.660 to a company that believes in your values, which would you choose? It's a tough question because you need the

00:22:32.120 good service. You want to be consistent with your values. Well, here's some good news. You can have both

00:22:42.120 rights and freedoms and to glorify God. Always. They put cause ahead of profits. And that's one of

00:22:48.240 the reasons we're so proud to partner with them and have for a long time on top of having everything

00:22:53.340 you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan. Uh, I'm one of the three major networks. Patriot mobile

00:22:58.740 doesn't send your hard earned money to aid in. I don't know the destruction of America, which seems like

00:23:04.500 a good idea. You're going to get the same nationwide service all while supporting a company that loves

00:23:44.100 Hey, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Uh, what a great administration we have. And hopefully,

00:24:06.420 you know, we'll get another five years out of it. We had a, almost a year until the election

00:24:10.240 and hopefully be reelected for four more years. Well, then eight of Kamala after that. Okay.

00:24:17.600 Right. And I want to make sure we get the eight more after that. Kamala. Yep. Yeah. That's a good

00:24:22.040 point. And then, you know, we could start by that point we would just be, I feel like there would

00:24:27.520 just be like, we would have broken off from the continent. It would look like the Titanic where half

00:24:32.260 the country was underwater. It was about to break in half. Well, Texas would certainly have seceded by

00:24:37.240 that point. I'm pretty confident in that. I mean, I don't even want to think about it.

00:24:42.020 I don't even want to think about it. This Lloyd Austin thing is just amazing. And then, you know,

00:24:45.680 you've got the total incompetence at the very, very top with, uh, Joe Biden, as if he were the very,

00:24:51.220 very top. We all know that's Barack Obama, but the, the figurehead who was, um, uh, speaking at the,

00:24:57.640 uh, the church the other day, did, did you see that speech with, uh, with Joe Biden at the church?

00:25:03.060 He had so many great things to say. Uh, really good things. One of the things that we didn't

00:25:08.160 focus on enough, I think, was, uh, when he talked about starting the civil rights movement.

00:25:13.240 Joe Biden? Yeah. Joe Biden. Um, yeah, as you know, started the civil rights movement. Uh,

00:25:19.080 here he is talking about that.

00:25:21.580 I was talking downstairs. I, uh, I've spent more time in, uh, the, uh, Bethel AME church in

00:25:28.920 Wyoming from Delaware than I have, uh, than most people I know black or white have spent

00:25:33.300 in that church. Sure. Sure. Because that's where I started. No, I'm serious. I started

00:25:37.440 the civil rights movement. No, he's, he's serious. That's where he started the civil

00:25:40.940 rights movement. That was the day he, he, yeah, that was when the whole civil rights

00:25:45.460 movement started. Gosh, I, I didn't think that was him. Yeah, that was him. Who did you

00:25:49.880 think it was? Uh, somebody else. I like, I could give you a lot of names, but I didn't

00:25:54.900 think Joe Biden wasn't even on the list of the names I would have provided that started

00:25:58.640 at the civil rights movement. It's interesting because he said a little something different

00:26:02.540 about that before. Okay. Here's Joe Biden then and, uh, Joe Biden now on civil rights.

00:26:09.140 I've spent more time in, uh, here he is now and then that.

00:26:12.600 Bethel AME church in Wilmington, Delaware than I have, uh, than most people I know black

00:26:17.160 or white have spent in that church. Okay. Sure. Because that's where I started. No, I'm

00:26:21.280 serious. I started civil rights. No, you're serious. During the sixties, I was in fact, very

00:26:26.280 concerned about the civil rights movement. Oh, I was not an activist. Oh, I worked at

00:26:30.720 an all black swimming pool in the East side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved. I

00:26:36.060 was involved in what, what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was

00:26:40.700 involved, but I was not out marching. Oh, I was not down in Selma. That's I was not

00:26:45.340 anywhere else. Huh? So weird. Cause he just said he started the civil rights

00:26:49.980 movement. Did he start it and then like sort of hand it off? Oh, you know,

00:26:54.240 Arthur King or somebody? Yeah. Malcolm X, somebody. Somebody. Right. Yeah. Maybe

00:26:59.560 that's what it was. Maybe that's what it was. So amazing. It's like, uh, that's, I

00:27:04.460 mean, that is bizarre. Yeah. And none of this comes back on him. None. None. None of

00:27:11.220 it. He gets so much cover from the mainstream media that they don't even talk

00:27:14.860 about it. So constantly lying about his own life. Now he lies about a lot of

00:27:19.300 different things. All the time. But his own life, he really doesn't seem to have

00:27:22.680 experienced. You know, and it's interesting because we just had this

00:27:25.740 plagiarism thing and this copycat thing with the, with the heads of Harvard and

00:27:32.200 MIT and university of Pennsylvania. Uh, he did his own little thing. He, do you

00:27:37.460 remember what, uh, what Hillary did back in 2007 with the, I don't feel no ways

00:27:42.840 tired. Oh yeah. I remember that. And then, uh, watch his thing from the other day.

00:27:47.020 Here's a comparison of the two. I don't feel no ways tired. I come too far from

00:27:55.320 where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don't

00:28:02.700 believe he brought me this far to leave me. We've come too far from where we

00:28:09.000 started. Nobody told me the road would be easy. I don't believe he brought me this

00:28:15.500 far to leave me. My fellow Americans, I don't think the good Lord brought us this

00:28:22.340 far to leave us behind. I mean, at least he's not doing the accent. Yeah. And at

00:28:29.080 least she, but at least she attributed it. Right. He didn't. That's true. He didn't.

00:28:33.540 Those were his words. Apparently. Uh, I just, I can't take it. I mean, he's been

00:28:39.240 caught in multiple plagiarism scandals. I mean, derailed his political career for a

00:28:44.300 long time. In 87. Yeah. In 87, he did, he copied the, he was like the labor party

00:28:51.460 member in England or something. Yeah. I'm close to his name, but it's not popping into

00:28:57.980 my head, but, uh, he was, uh, he, yeah, he's just stole a speech basically. Yeah. And

00:29:03.300 didn't attribute it. And I don't know, maybe that wouldn't be a big deal today. It

00:29:06.580 didn't seem to be a big deal for Claudine Gay. No one cared, uh, on the, on the

00:29:10.360 left. Um, they all said it was racial. Um, now I don't know what it would be for

00:29:14.740 Joe Biden. I don't know why that's been ignored, but he's doing the same. Yeah.

00:29:18.520 He's been like every single brand of controversy and scandal he's been involved

00:29:23.400 in, in one way or another. Now part of that is just, again, he's been, he's been

00:29:27.520 alive for almost 300 years. So you're going to add that you're going to kind of

00:29:32.080 cross a lot of lines in that life. Yeah. But you'd think that there would be

00:29:37.820 more, I don't know, like more feedback, more pushback, more blowback. Self

00:29:44.040 reflection though, is what I was going for. Like if, if you know that, and we

00:29:50.940 beat up on the media all the time, but they actually have done an okay job

00:29:54.480 calling this stuff out from time to time, especially when he's talking about his

00:29:57.360 own life. The Washington Post has fact checked his claims, his stories about his

00:30:00.960 life five, six, seven, eight times. And they say over and over again, none of

00:30:04.900 this is true. He's lying. We don't know why he keeps saying it. In some cases

00:30:08.420 they've actually said he needs to stop saying it. Yeah. And said that about him

00:30:13.020 claiming the $1.7 trillion deficit cut. Yeah. He needs to stop saying this, but he

00:30:20.060 hasn't. He just keeps saying it. And like, they don't have to answer for it.

00:30:23.800 They just operate under completely different rules. Yeah. If it was Trump, of course,

00:30:28.120 he'd be, well, impeached for a third or fourth or fifth time.

00:30:32.620 They should just schedule weekly impeachments if he wins again.

00:30:35.580 Right. Just every week, they'll just keep impeaching them and then he won't get

00:30:38.800 convicted and then just keep doing it over and over again. Why bother with all this

00:30:42.000 other stuff? Stop looking like you need a reason. You're just going to want to do it

00:30:45.640 anyway. Just, just start it. I mean, they're, I, that sounds ridiculous. Of course,

00:30:51.180 they're worse than that. They're trying to not even allow him to be on the ballot to be

00:30:53.980 voted for in the first place. Which is pretty amazing. This brand of democracy, Pat. Yeah.

00:30:58.240 That we have in this country where the only way to truly express the founder's vision of

00:31:05.440 democracy is to have a ballot with one checkbox. If we could just, that's what they dreamed of

00:31:11.940 one day. Really? Yeah. They were, cause you know, uh, George Washington didn't like the

00:31:16.660 political parties thing. I do remember something like that. You remember that? His idea was we just

00:31:21.960 have one party. Parties was his problem. He did not want two options. He was, he wanted just the

00:31:29.280 one guy. What if we just, and this is a, this is not an idea they had considered at the time of the

00:31:34.160 founding, but what if we just had a person who was perpetually in power and could just hand it off to

00:31:38.800 their children over and over again? Like a king. Something like a king. And what if we use that

00:31:44.840 system here? That's what they really wanted. I mean, call it what you will, but to somebody who is in

00:31:49.800 power and can make all the decisions immediately. So we don't have this elongated process where

00:31:54.600 nothing gets done. Well, like this Congress or a parliament or whatever that slows the process

00:32:01.060 down. We need somebody who just makes a quick decision and we move forward together. Wouldn't

00:32:07.020 that be great? Yeah. I like a Chairman Mao type of person. Chairman Mao is a good example. Yeah.

00:32:12.320 Like, I like, you know, one of my favorite examples is Turkmenistan, where, you know,

00:32:17.900 like sometimes, Pat, when you decide, you know what, we don't need hospitals outside the Capitol.

00:32:24.180 Oh. Right now in this country, and I want to, I don't want to alarm anyone, but if Joe Biden decided

00:32:29.160 that only, the only hospitals in the country would be in Washington, DC, he could not implement that

00:32:35.340 plan by himself under this system. There are other systems where you can do that. Turkmenistan,

00:32:42.520 that's, that was one of the guys. And they got that job done, didn't they? Yeah. He got it done.

00:32:45.540 Yeah. You just say, no, hey, you know what? No more hospitals outside of Ashkabat. Ashkabat? Ashkabat.

00:32:51.400 No more. That's the actual name of the Capitol of Turkmenistan, isn't it? I mean, I wouldn't bet my

00:32:57.280 life on it, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is. And the point is that like, you know, if you want to-

00:33:01.920 It's been your favorite country for a long time. I haven't thought about it in a while,

00:33:05.480 but I am, it is, it's still a passion of mine. I want to visit someday. But like, that is the

00:33:12.240 stuff that you should be able to do if you're the president of the United States. Yeah. And just

00:33:15.740 get it done. Yeah. And by the way, we should, to give credit where credit is due, Joe Biden's

00:33:20.400 tried to do that with student loans, with the eviction moratorium. Even after he was told not to.

00:33:26.820 Yeah. Even when the system said, no, you're not allowed to do that. He just said, I'll do it anyway.

00:33:31.920 Yeah. And of course that is by definition, specifically the exact type of thing our

00:33:39.660 founders talked about when they talked about impeachment. What if someone ignores the system?

00:33:44.340 Yeah. It wasn't like, well, what if someone does something we don't like? Or what if someone

00:33:48.400 makes a call to a foreign official we don't appreciate? You can argue whether that should

00:33:53.860 be an impeachable offense or not. That wasn't what they had in mind at the time. What they had in

00:33:57.580 mind at the time is someone who knows exactly what the system is, is told what the system is

00:34:03.260 supposed to prevent, and then goes and walks through that wall anyway. When that person does

00:34:08.740 that, that's when you impeach him. He's done it over and over and over and over and over and over

00:34:13.860 and over again. Yeah. And still no one cares. And it's interesting because all the speculation from

00:34:19.420 the media is that Donald J. Trump would be that kind of person this time. I know. I know. He would

00:34:25.420 be a dictator this time. How many times have we read that? Like over and over and over and virtually

00:34:30.980 every article I read about Donald Trump, he wants to be a dictator. This guy is.

00:34:37.160 It's funny because the word dictator because of, you know, people like Hitler and Idi Amin and name

00:34:45.600 your foreign despot has this association with, of course, the horrible violence and criminal activity

00:34:54.620 and all these things. But like, if you go back to the early 20th century progressivism and that

00:35:00.760 definition of dictator, it was this guy who just made all the decisions, right? Like he knew.

00:35:07.640 That's why the left loved Mussolini.

00:35:09.200 That's why they loved Mussolini at first.

00:35:10.760 They were completely enamored with him and everything he was doing because he was getting

00:35:14.880 things done.

00:35:15.520 And it was Woodrow Wilson, right? It was the way he loved to look at the world. His idea was we put a

00:35:21.460 bunch of experts out there. I mean, think of Fauci in this, in this standpoint, you get a bunch of

00:35:26.000 experts out there who just tell everyone what they do and they know more about it than you.

00:35:30.520 So, so you listen to them and that's how this works. Now, it's not how this country is supposed

00:35:35.840 to work, the United States, but it's been tried all around the world over and over and over again.

00:35:40.440 And I'm telling you stuff like the student loan stuff, which gets overlooked because it's a boring

00:35:45.380 topic and it's like, well, what, it's a couple of hundred billion dollars here or there at this

00:35:49.820 point in this crap heap of an economy. Why do we even think about it? And I understand that,

00:35:54.320 but he knew what he was doing was unconstitutional. He was told so by the Supreme Court already.

00:36:01.960 They already told him that it happened and he's tried to do it. Not only has he tried to do it

00:36:05.440 once again and then got overturned by the Supreme Court, he's still trying to do it.

00:36:10.260 He's literally breaking the constitution knowingly over and over and over again.

00:36:15.900 And there's not even talk about impeachment with him. There should be. There's talk about

00:36:20.640 impeachment with him on his criminal, potential criminal activities with his son and all that,

00:36:26.880 which is important. It is. But more important, more fundamental to that process and especially

00:36:32.580 how it was envisioned at the beginning is what he's done on student loans and the eviction

00:36:39.040 moratorium. And there's a few other examples on down this road. Yep. 100%. 888-727-BECK. More

00:37:53.220 The following content identifies as a commercial. Isn't that lovely? The Glenn Beck program will be

00:38:04.460 right back.

00:38:05.200 Man, what a time, Pat. What a time. No, it's a great time. It's a great time to be alive,

00:38:25.520 Stu. And it's a perfect time to be an American because everything's going so well. Did you see

00:38:31.360 that Dr. Anthony Fauci was called before the House Coronavirus Select Subcommittee to answer

00:38:39.560 some questions? And his answer on more than a hundred of the questions that were asked him

00:38:45.620 yesterday was, I don't recall. I do not recall. It's hard to remember things, Pat. It is because it

00:38:52.440 was so long ago. I mean, how old were you in 2020 and 2021? I don't even remember those things.

00:38:58.120 I think I was four years old. So it's been a while. It's been a while. So naturally,

00:39:03.540 he doesn't remember. He's an old man. And that was a long time ago. It's pretty amazing. But what

00:39:10.480 some of the House members have said was that he exposed some real problems, uncovered drastic and

00:39:18.720 systemic failures in America's public health system. I thought those were fixed under Obamacare.

00:39:25.080 So how'd that happen? That's weird. And it has, it does feel in some ways that the pandemic was a

00:39:30.740 really long time ago to me. It does. Would that be your explanation as to why there has been very

00:39:37.420 little impact for the, for the, I mean, like the most hated figure seemingly on the right is Anthony

00:39:42.560 Fauci, right? Yeah. And I mean, it seems like a, you would think in a, in a, uh, approaching the

00:39:51.540 Iowa caucuses that the fact that like Donald Trump was there for all of that, right? Like

00:39:56.660 Donald Trump was the guy, you know, he had Fauci kept him. I mean, he doesn't like him now, but that

00:40:00.940 whole time, right? He was there, he was putting him on stage. I mean, when you heard the phrase 10

00:40:06.700 days or 15 days to slow the spread, Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci are standing right next to each

00:40:11.040 other, right? Like all that. And again, like you can, you might think there's a hundred things you can

00:40:15.780 think about that time. But the fact that most people I think on the right have made up their mind

00:40:19.500 that Anthony Fauci is one of the worst people that's ever lived at the same point are about to

00:40:24.940 vote for the guy who had him in power through that period by what? 40 points in Iowa. Are you

00:40:31.280 surprised that there's not, has not been more impact and pushback on that? A bit. Yeah. A bit. It's a

00:40:36.660 weird, it's a weird election. Yeah, it is. It really is. I think everybody just transferred the Fauci

00:40:42.420 problem to Biden. Yeah. Yeah. Which, you know, I mean, certainly there's part of it. In part. Yeah.

00:40:47.660 Yeah. In part, for sure. But, you know, of course he wasn't, you know, Biden wasn't president at that

00:40:53.020 time. Right. At the beginning, certainly the first year. Yeah. It's surprising that that was,

00:40:58.260 it seemed like it was going to be the biggest thing in the election and then it's kind of dried up.

00:41:01.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:17.660 It's a new day.

00:41:29.260 It's a new day.

00:41:43.260 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:58.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:05.500 Pat and Stu for Glenn. Today, we're going to go over some of the polls

00:42:08.960 and where everybody stands heading into Iowa on Monday. So we got Iowa coming up on Monday

00:42:15.800 and then eight days after that is New Hampshire. So two big primaries because these are momentum

00:42:25.200 gainers here for somebody. Either Trump or, heaven forbid, Nikki Haley.

00:42:31.760 Could be Ron DeSantis. Maybe he surprises. Anyway, we'll get into some of the poll results

00:42:38.140 coming up in one minute.

00:42:42.600 It would be nice if you could always count on having the medication you need available when you need it

00:42:46.880 to never have to worry about medication shortages or emergency situations. It would be a great world

00:42:51.500 to live in. By the way, it seemed like we did live in it for a long time. Like you just get the

00:42:55.880 medication that you need. At least it was available to you. But now we live in this world where there's

00:43:01.180 medication shortages. We had like a record in December of 2023 for medication shortages. What

00:43:06.600 a bizarre time. Like 294 medications are in short supply. How is that possible? It's crazy.

00:43:13.940 You can do something about this, though. You can prepare yourself with the Jace case. It's a

00:43:18.160 personalized emergency medication kit that contains five essential antibiotics, which treat the most

00:43:23.240 common and deadly bacterial infections. It's customizable and dozens of add-on medications

00:43:46.580 your door. And if you want to be prepared, yeah, you need food. Yeah, you need water. But you need your

00:44:06.300 Okay, so primary season is upon us. Hard to believe Iowa is Monday already. It's not that fast.

00:44:13.540 It really has. And I might take this opportunity to remind you of a new podcast out. It's a bonus

00:44:18.560 podcast available in the mornings to give you a daily update on everything that's going on in the

00:44:23.180 election. Everything you need to know. It's called State of the Race. And if you go to the Stew Does

00:44:27.260 America feed, wherever you get your podcast, you can get that update. And we go through everything.

00:44:31.620 We have the key metrics of the campaign, what's going on with each candidate, what they're doing,

00:44:37.020 you know, are they moving their ad dollars around for some reason. We're trying to look at all that

00:44:40.280 stuff to keep you updated and do it in like 10 minutes. Because honestly, you know, it can be a

00:44:46.960 little overwhelming. But you can get all that at Stew Does America, the feed on podcast. It's audio

00:44:52.620 only. So make sure to check that out and subscribe. We finally, I've been complaining about this for a

00:44:58.820 long time. We just haven't been getting any polling, especially of Iowa. It's been terrible.

00:45:03.180 There's just been a huge lack of polling for an election. Now, part of that, I guess,

00:45:09.900 people aren't that worked up about it because it doesn't feel like a normal election. In a way,

00:45:15.280 it feels like an incumbent is running. And if you have those situations, it's like what's going on

00:45:19.820 with Joe Biden and, you know, Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips on the Democratic side. It

00:45:23.980 doesn't feel like a real contest, right? Everyone kind of assumes that Joe Biden's going to get that

00:45:28.900 nomination. Do you see, I think that's wrong. Did you see the turnout for Dean Phillips the other day?

00:45:34.360 I did not, no. Was it big? Oh my gosh. Well, I mean, not, I don't know if you'd qualify it as big.

00:45:41.140 Okay. So moderate? Or moderate. Or moderate. Or even small. No one showed up. No one. He held a

00:45:52.300 political event and he and his staff were the only people there. So he did come. He came. So

00:45:59.660 you're lying when you say no one came. I'm sorry. Dean came. Dean came to his political event. But

00:46:07.040 there was nobody there to see it. And so if Dean shows up to his political event, but nobody's

00:46:11.860 there, did he actually show up? I don't know. I don't know. Now, I will say this about Dean

00:46:18.740 Phillips. And I cannot say this about any other candidate in this race. Okay. He's connected to

00:46:24.520 Talenti gelato or frozen dessert, whatever that is. It's freaking good. Oh, really?

00:46:32.040 I love that stuff, man. Yeah. He's like, that's where he gets his money from. I think if I'm,

00:46:37.240 he's the, uh, at least at one point was the chairman and like co-owner of Talenti, which

00:46:42.380 if you've ever had it, it's in your freezer case. Pretty darn good. Yeah. They've got that

00:46:46.080 thing where they put like some of the, like the, the gelato and then like somewhat like

00:46:48.860 a layer of just like cookie pieces and then more gelato and like a little layer of like candy

00:46:53.260 pieces. And that's like, it's like a parfait. It's delicious. So honestly, like if I,

00:47:00.000 am I voting on the democratic side, you can either have the, the essential oil lady,

00:47:03.740 the guy who can't get through three sentences or a guy who came up with awesome, you know,

00:47:09.680 gelato gelato. Come on. How is this a contest? He should be winning by 50 points. Right.

00:47:15.960 And no one's showing up. What if he brings, he should be bringing Talenti to every event

00:47:20.120 that would bring people, people would totally show up for that. Even in the snow. Yeah. So anyway,

00:47:24.520 that's just my particular opinion. Uh, you know, I will say it's, he's a, we're not going to go on too

00:47:29.560 long about Dean Phillips, but like it is fascinating. He, and he entered the race basically

00:47:33.880 the last possible second. And you know, he's thinking like no one else is here. Like what

00:47:39.940 if Joe Biden just goes away? Right. There's no one else in the race. Maybe it just goes to me.

00:47:46.020 I don't think it was like a, I'm going to go out and beat Joe Biden. It was like, what if Joe Biden

00:47:50.360 go, you know, has some huge scandal, God forbid has a health problem drops out for whatever reason,

00:47:55.820 you know, as much as we all say, well, it will be Gavin Newsom or it'll be Kamala Harris. Like

00:48:00.000 they're not running. They're not running. Yeah. Now my guess is the Democrats would just

00:48:04.780 finagle the system to make them the candidates. That's probably what would happen. But he has

00:48:09.820 this argument, like, I don't know. I'm on the ballots here. Who are you going to vote for?

00:48:14.220 You can't vote for Kamala on the ballot. I mean, it's an interesting play. It's not going to work,

00:48:19.920 but it is an interesting play. Okay. So we've been complaining for a while about the lack

00:48:24.200 of polling in Iowa in particular. And one of the things that the media does is they will just

00:48:30.960 report a polling average as the state of the race. And there's nothing wrong with a polling

00:48:35.620 average. Like polling averages are fine. It's better than one individual poll to average

00:48:39.560 polls. At least you get a better sense at larger sample size, but like you don't get all that much

00:48:44.620 out of that. If the polls that are included in the average are very old. And that was the case

00:48:52.360 up until yesterday. The most recent poll in the Real Clear Politics average, for example,

00:48:58.680 was December 18th. So you were over three weeks on the most recent poll included, and then also

00:49:03.960 included polls from over a month ago. And that's not Real Clear Politics fault. That's just the fact

00:49:09.740 that no one's been polling the state, which is weird, right? Like I feel like at this time in every

00:49:15.080 other cycle, we were getting poll after every day, there was a new poll of Iowa and a new poll of New

00:49:19.300 Hampshire. Just really hasn't been the case. Now, part of that is because it's really expensive

00:49:22.840 and it's getting harder and harder to do. I mean, there was a time, Pat, where you'd get 30%,

00:49:27.880 40% response rates to these polls. Now they're talking about 1%.

00:49:33.400 Wow. I didn't know it was that bad.

00:49:36.280 That bad. I mean, you got to answer a freaking pollster right now?

00:49:39.620 No.

00:49:40.040 And this is part of the reason why sometimes they're unreliable.

00:49:42.620 Can they call cell phones?

00:49:43.440 Yeah, they can. And they do. Most of them do at this point, but it doesn't work.

00:49:48.960 I don't even have a landline anymore. Do you?

00:49:51.820 Yeah, we did put one in actually. Relatively recently. We actually had it the whole time

00:49:55.680 and for years didn't have a phone plugged in at the house.

00:49:58.680 Yeah, us too.

00:49:59.140 But like now that our kids are getting to that age where they can kind of stay home

00:50:02.120 while we're going to the grocery store.

00:50:04.380 Oh, that's a good point.

00:50:04.620 Like, yeah, let's have a phone that's there so we can call them. But that's really the only

00:50:07.920 reason. And we almost never use it other than just calling the kids and saying,

00:50:11.420 hey, is everything okay? We've gone for eight minutes. Have you burned the house down?

00:50:13.880 And, you know, usually they haven't.

00:50:16.360 Yeah.

00:50:16.520 Sometimes they have, obviously.

00:50:18.000 Obviously.

00:50:18.520 You got to rebuild after those incidents.

00:50:20.240 But so we finally did get some polling from not only Iowa, but also New Hampshire here

00:50:27.100 over the past, you know, 24, 48 hours. And it's interesting, but limited in what it tells

00:50:34.300 us. There's one poll that came out from Morning Consult, which is a pollster's been around

00:50:40.000 for a while, have some interesting ways of doing their polling. And if you look at the Real

00:50:46.160 Clear Politics average, it does list this poll. What the poll says, top line, is Trump at 58,

00:50:53.320 Nikki Haley in second place in Iowa at 15, Ron DeSantis at 14, Vivek Ramaswamy at 10,

00:51:02.120 and then Chris Christie at three and Asa Hutchinson at one. Not zero, but one. So think about that for

00:51:10.020 a second. As you look at people making a run here last minute. I mean, Asa, at any point.

00:51:14.140 You talk about momentum.

00:51:15.200 Yeah. I mean, no one else has gone up an infinity percent over the past few weeks.

00:51:20.620 Only Asa Hutchinson can claim that. If he continues that pace, Pat, he will win this election.

00:51:24.600 So just keep that in mind. So you look at that, okay, okay, that is basically the picture of this

00:51:31.900 race over the past few months, right? Donald Trump over 50 percent, kind of blowing everybody out.

00:51:37.080 If you want to say there's any change there, it's probably been a little bit of a rise for Haley

00:51:40.780 above DeSantis. DeSantis has been second in that race for a very long time. However, this particular

00:51:46.440 poll is very strange. First of all, Real Clear Politics lists it as occurring between January 1st and

00:51:53.180 January 7th. That's the date range that they made these phone calls. However, when I went through

00:51:58.640 the poll and they actually, it could be a misprint, I guess, in the poll literature, but it says the

00:52:06.480 polls were conducted from December 1st, 2023 to January 7th, 2024. So a 40-day period of making

00:52:16.140 these phone calls. How many of these calls were made in December 1st and how many were made on

00:52:20.820 January 7th? Like, that's a big difference. And the way they talk about it, they say it is

00:52:26.300 the December result. So, you know, they do this monthly. And so I don't know what you can take

00:52:32.320 out of that. What do you take out of that result? It's only, by the way, all the 353 people in the

00:52:38.020 sample size, which is super small. So I don't know what you get out of that particular poll. Honestly,

00:52:42.980 in my mind, I'm not going to take much. Trafalgar also released a poll, however, and they've been,

00:52:48.200 you know, they've had their ups and downs, but had some really good cycles. They have it at

00:52:53.360 Trump 52, Haley 18, DeSantis 18, Ramaswamy at five, Christy three, and Hutchison at

00:53:02.320 one. One. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's consistent. So I don't know what you take out of that first

00:53:09.480 poll. The second one, you know, Trafalgar is obviously a Republican-leaning pollster,

00:53:13.500 and, you know, but still you have a situation where they're showing the same thing, basically,

00:53:20.860 that trumps up by a lot. Now, the Iowa caucus is famously strange, right? When people, and I'm

00:53:28.480 talking to Steve Dace on Studios America tonight, and I'm curious because he's there. The weather's

00:53:34.920 terrible. Like really cold, really cold, lots of snow, events being canceled. It's going to be

00:53:41.740 cold here on Monday. Can you imagine Iowa? Oh my gosh. Ooh. I know. It's supposed to be,

00:53:46.660 I think, 20 here. 21 or 20 I saw here in Dallas. Now, if you look at the map. With a low of

00:53:52.200 four. No. Four. Four. Yeah. In Dallas, Texas. If I get another freaking pipe burst, I'm going

00:53:59.600 to lose my mind. I know. I'm going to lose my mind. I know. I'm moving. I move to Texas for

00:54:05.680 warmth. There's not supposed to be days where it hits four. I know. I know. It's this global

00:54:12.640 warming. I'm on board with it. I am on board with it now. First of all, I want more of it

00:54:17.160 to happen. But secondly, I now believe in all the climate change conspiracies because it's

00:54:22.260 too cold here. But imagine how cold it's going to be. If you've ever been in Iowa, and I know,

00:54:27.280 Pat, you know, you've been there and covered some of these events over the years. Not only is

00:54:31.560 it cold in Iowa, it does not. It does not capture what it feels like to be there. The

00:54:37.220 number does not quantify what it feels like with the winds of the plains blowing through

00:54:43.640 95 layers of clothing, no matter how many you have on. It cuts through and slices through

00:54:49.060 your torso. It disintegrates your flesh. It is so freaking cold around caucus time.

00:54:56.520 People are not going to want to go to a caucus.

00:55:00.220 It's fascinating. It's a really interesting part of this. You know, Trump has been leading

00:55:05.060 for a long time. A lot of people are taking his win for granted. The best organization

00:55:10.700 in the state, I think, without a doubt, is Ron DeSantis. I mean, even Haley, who is, you

00:55:15.240 know, equaling him in some of these polls, does not have the type of operation that DeSantis

00:55:21.260 has in the state. That's pretty clear. DeSantis has been there putting all of his eggs in

00:55:26.540 this basket, needs to have a big showing. I mean, there is a world where DeSantis overperforms

00:55:31.400 and is helped out by the weather situation where his people walk through these, you know,

00:55:35.720 the wall of ice to get to these caucus locations. And, you know, Nikki Haley doesn't show up.

00:55:43.700 You know, she's spending a lot of money now, but she doesn't have that sort of organization

00:55:48.360 in Iowa. So I want to give you the, we should look at the New Hampshire polls too, because New

00:55:52.520 Hampshire is a totally different situation. And it kind of draws a different picture of

00:55:56.700 the race and how this could go. Is there a chance that DeSantis could surprise and make

00:56:01.460 it closer than these polls look? I think so. But, you know, it's a tough road, right?

00:56:07.160 Like, I mean, I think, you know, people have looked at this and they said, look, the 2020

00:56:10.500 election was, you know, something we didn't like. We think, you know, Donald Trump maybe

00:56:14.440 got ripped off. We think he deserves this nomination just because of that. Now he's being

00:56:18.920 targeted by all of these people who want to take him off the ballot and throw him in

00:56:23.700 prison. We have to stand up for him. And I think that's the overwhelming arc of this

00:56:28.440 race right now. That's how people are making these decisions. They're not making it based

00:56:32.260 on, you know, DeSantis' record in Florida. To their benefit, to their detriment, you could

00:56:37.860 make that decision for yourself. But that's not how this election is being settled right

00:56:42.340 now. I mean, you look at these numbers, you don't see people saying, well, Ron DeSantis

00:56:45.700 sucks and he was a bad governor. That's not what the polls shows at all. They all,

00:56:48.900 think he did a really good job and they think he's overwhelmingly popular in the party and

00:56:54.100 well-liked. But that is not seemingly how people are making decisions at this point.

00:56:58.960 Yeah. Trump is still up by more than all the other candidates combined. He still has more

00:57:07.060 support. That's not good if you're a challenger. It's not good if you're a challenger. No. More

00:57:13.200 coming up in 60 seconds. It's underappreciated fact that trust is really hard to come by.

00:57:19.460 And in the world of business, pretty much any business, that might go double. When you're

00:57:23.200 trying to sell your home, buy a new home, or even worse, do both at the same time, it's

00:57:27.820 very important that the real estate agent you're doing business with is someone you trust. And

00:57:32.200 how do you know? Well, Glenn solved that problem years ago when he started Real Estate Agents I

00:57:36.760 Trust with his brother. Agents they work with, well, they're people that you like. People you

00:57:44.680 can trust. People who do their job well. Good people who care about the same things you care

00:57:50.440 about. They're not just some of the best real estate agents out there. They're solid Americans.

00:57:54.680 And most of them are listeners to this program as well. They're people you can trust to get the

00:57:58.720 job done. And not just done, done right the first time. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:58:22.760 Pat and Stu for Glenn today. 888-727-BECK. Okay, so we covered Iowa. What is the situation in

00:58:32.780 New Hampshire then, eight days later right now? Yeah, that's, it's an important one. And honestly,

00:58:38.280 like, we talked about a couple of polls that came out mid to late December and early January that no

00:58:45.240 one really talked about. And these polls from, it was American Research Group, I believe. And

00:58:49.220 both of these polls showed Nikki Haley within three points in New Hampshire.

00:58:55.660 What?

00:58:56.060 So very close, but there weren't a lot of, there's no real supporting evidence. And the question was,

00:59:01.300 okay, what's going to happen when new polls come out? CNN poll came out yesterday and showed the race

00:59:08.420 in New Hampshire this way. Donald Trump at 39%. Nikki Haley, 32%. Now the rest of the field is far

00:59:18.120 behind. Chris Christie at 12%. Vivek Ramaswamy at 8%. Ron DeSantis has basically turned off his campaign

00:59:24.220 in New Hampshire. He's, he's focusing on Iowa, but he's only at 5% in the poll. Asa Hutchinson at

00:59:28.340 one, 1%. I mean, the guy is showing up in poll after poll. Wow. What's fascinating about this,

00:59:36.400 when you look deeper in the poll, though. He's not even running, right? No, he isn't. He is. He is

00:59:40.980 still in the race because I keep thinking he's left a long time ago. This is a big problem of his

00:59:46.000 campaign, Pat. People keep thinking he doesn't have one. That's what I thought. And that's not great.

00:59:50.500 No, it isn't. No, he's at one. It isn't. Man, if people knew he was running, imagine where he

00:59:56.600 could be right now. I think he'd be winning. I think he'd be winning. Yes. Yes. By maybe double

01:00:01.180 digits. No one knows. There's actually a great headline yesterday. Asa Hutchinson has a message

01:00:06.980 for Iowa voters. Quote, I'm still running. End quote. Not a great headline. That's not good. Not a great

01:00:14.460 headline. No. But let me break this down for you because the question is not necessarily whether

01:00:18.620 Haley is doing well in New Hampshire. She is. I would not be surprised at all if she won

01:00:24.460 New Hampshire. I mean, that is, especially as we get closer, I think some of those Christie

01:00:28.780 voters might say, okay, this isn't happening. We better do something to stop Trump. Those

01:00:32.720 are all stop Trump people, right? There's 12% of them in this poll. I think there's a good

01:00:37.400 chance some of those people flake off to Nikki Haley. Wow. But I think there's a good chance

01:00:43.100 she wins New Hampshire. However, the way she is building that win is not sustainable for an actual

01:00:48.720 victory when it comes to the nomination. Let me give you this breakdown. Among Republican voters

01:00:53.780 in New Hampshire, this is how it breaks down. Trump 50, Haley 27, Christie 5. Okay. Among independent

01:01:04.880 and Democratic voters who plan to vote in the Republican primary. Haley 47, Christie 31,

01:01:14.160 Trump 5. So it's an open primary. Yeah. Anybody can vote. This is a totally different scenario than

01:01:20.500 you're going to see in most of these other states. That won't work. You can't build your coalition

01:01:25.020 on Democrats on your she's beating Trump among independents and Democrats by 42 points. That's

01:01:34.980 how she's close. Yeah, that is not going to hold in other states. Now the next state. And this is

01:01:41.960 really her only chance is going to be South Carolina where that's her state. It's her home state. And you

01:01:47.640 think Ken, if you're trying to rationalize. She's way behind though, right? Yeah, way behind. But if

01:01:52.480 you're trying to rationalize a victory for Nikki Haley in this campaign, what you'd say is she wins New

01:01:59.480 Hampshire and then gets the boost that you get after a win. Yeah. And that plus her home state

01:02:06.240 situation. Well, look what South Carolina did for Biden last time. Yeah. Turned it around.

01:02:09.920 Right. Completely. So he was out of it. Is it impossible? Probably not. But is it likely? It's a

01:02:17.220 lot less likely than it looks when you look at the top lines of those polls.

01:02:36.980 Glenn Beck. You know, internet scams come in all shapes and sizes. And while, you know, all of them

01:02:43.760 are bad. Some are just despicable. The most recent nefarious one is fake charities claiming to provide

01:02:50.640 aid to those caught in Middle East conflict. That one, of course, especially calling to Glenn and I

01:02:57.220 don't know the entire audience who helped actually do these those things. It's important to understand

01:04:20.000 Pat and Stu for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK. We were talking about some of the poll numbers

01:04:25.180 heading into Iowa and New Hampshire. Some interesting numbers when you break them down

01:04:34.100 in New Hampshire, especially because they allowed Democrats and Independents to vote in the Republican

01:04:38.440 primary. Yeah, very interesting. And for that reason, I think you could make the case, like,

01:04:43.200 I think if you're Nikki Haley right now, I think you could plausibly make the case that you're in

01:04:47.780 second place in this primary, and Ron DeSantis is in third. However, I don't think you can plausibly

01:04:53.960 make the case that you have a better chance of winning the primary than Ron DeSantis does.

01:04:58.360 It's kind of counterintuitive, but, like, the Ron DeSantis support

01:05:02.880 in some ways is more real, right? Like, the people who, those are the, the people who are supporting

01:05:09.740 DeSantis are the people who are going to make the decision in the primary. Yeah. The people who are

01:05:13.740 supporting Haley are, like, fringe people who, she can make a good general election argument with

01:05:18.820 that crowd. The fact that moderates like her is obviously an argument for her in the general

01:05:23.980 election. She's done well in general election polling. But you're right. Like, how, I don't

01:05:28.540 know how you do it. It would take a collapse from Donald Trump to do it. The DeSantis path

01:05:34.420 is more clear in that he needs to just convince people who like him to vote for him. It hasn't

01:05:40.280 worked as far as we know, but, and there haven't been any votes cast other than some absentee ballots,

01:05:46.760 but it hasn't worked as if we know yet, but it is more plausible than I think the path that Haley

01:05:52.420 is trying to take. I, I don't, I don't know how you can win a primary approaching it that way,

01:05:58.700 though. I, it would not be surprised at all if she does actually win New Hampshire. I, I, I think it's

01:06:05.680 No, it sounds reasonable. Very plausible. Yeah. That she wins it. Um, but the breakdown was,

01:06:10.660 she has 27% support among Republicans, right? Wasn't that it? 27 Republican voters, 27%.

01:06:17.940 Independent and Democrat though, it's like 47. 47. So she's, she is trailing Trump by 23 points

01:06:25.940 among Republican voters and she leads Trump by 42 among independent and Democratic voters.

01:06:31.740 Obviously that's just like a stop Trump effort in New Hampshire. Exactly. And it might work in New

01:06:36.140 Hampshire, but we've seen this happen before, you know, John McCain beating George W. Bush back in

01:06:40.580 the day. Um, that was a big surprise at the time in New Hampshire, but it didn't lead to anything,

01:06:46.580 right? There was no path really there for him to win a longterm. And I think that was much more

01:06:53.520 questionable at the time. I, you know, Haley winning here, unless she can somehow turn that

01:06:58.160 into a back-to-back type of situation in South Carolina, I just don't, I don't know. I don't see how

01:07:02.580 what's happening, but, uh, there's something to look at there. A couple other things, Pat. And by

01:07:06.300 the way, we've covered all of this on the past few days of state of the race. It's the new podcast

01:07:10.260 that's available on the studios America feed. Uh, it's audio only. So if you, you know, if you're

01:07:14.580 wherever you're getting your podcasts, go there, just sign up for studios America, you'll get the

01:07:18.180 main show that we do every day, but also a special bonus pod state of the race to try to get you

01:07:23.160 through all this and learn that, you know, what's behind the main line numbers. Cause I mean,

01:07:27.460 you're getting all sorts of nonsense from the mainstream media. You got to get more information than that.

01:07:31.700 And of course we'll keep you updated here on the radio show as well, but this is sort of a bite

01:07:35.520 sized, you know, 10 minutes type of, um, effort to get you the news that you need in the morning.

01:07:41.820 So check that out. It's called state of the race on the studios America feed. Uh, a couple of other

01:07:46.080 interesting parts, uh, of this, um, Vivek Ramaswamy has been going back and forth and kind of like

01:07:52.720 busting on other candidates for not showing up for their events because it's cold and snowy.

01:07:56.380 And, uh, you know, it's, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you know, I, I, I don't show up to

01:08:01.900 anything when it's cold and snowy. So I can't blame people for not doing that. But did you know,

01:08:06.280 he's really been everywhere in Iowa? You know, you hear this all the full Grassley, the 99 counties

01:08:13.940 in Iowa. Did you know that over the past three months in 2023, the last three months of 2023,

01:08:20.760 Vivek Ramaswamy did more than almost four times as many events as any other candidate.

01:08:28.740 Oh, wow. Almost four times as many. Now DeSantis was quite active, uh, in the last three months of

01:08:37.560 2023 in Iowa. DeSantis or Vivek Ramaswamy is everywhere. Like, I feel like you'd bump into

01:08:43.480 him at, at every drive-thru at every diner at every, you know, you're going to get your taxes done.

01:08:49.800 He's at H&R Block. I think he's everywhere. So he has really put in a real effort and, and shown,

01:08:54.880 you know, a lot of energy. It doesn't, I don't see a ton of evidence of it paying off yet, uh,

01:08:59.880 in, in the polling, but it is fascinating to watch. And he has an event coming up tonight.

01:09:05.820 He, up a town hall of some sort, right? Donald Trump has one that's airing on CNN. Am I right on

01:09:10.780 that, Pat? I think it's CNN. No, Donald Trump. I think he's on Fox. He's on Fox. Oh yeah, that's right.

01:09:15.960 He's on Fox. The CNN is the debate, right? This is actually kind of a big, big thing for Fox because

01:09:21.480 Fox, after they got sued over the whole election fraud thing and had to pay $787 million, they just

01:09:30.180 stopped putting Donald Trump on the air live. They were like terrified that he was going to say

01:09:33.880 something that they would get sued for. And Donald Trump doesn't get sued. They get sued. I don't know

01:09:38.700 how exactly that works. There's this weird thing where you put guests on and they say something and

01:09:43.120 you get in trouble for it. I don't know how that works, but this is going to be the first time

01:09:46.880 he's been live since like early 2022 on Fox news. It's been almost two years. Wow. Uh, which is

01:09:53.640 crazy. Yeah. But he's going to be on a live doing a town hall. And then there's going to be a debate

01:09:58.740 between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis only two people on stage. First time that's happened. They're the

01:10:03.680 only two that qualified the last debate before Iowa happens tonight. And that one is on CNN. I think

01:10:10.720 so too. I could be wrong on the networks, but you'll find it if you want to watch it. I don't

01:10:14.620 know that there's much interest though. And then Vivek's on somewhere on a town hall too. He's got

01:10:19.060 a town hall as well. So a lot going on tonight. Uh, and look, this is the stretch run. It's

01:10:23.780 fascinating to though, to look at like how these candidates are perceived by Republican voters.

01:10:28.980 And this is, this is nationwide, uh, Republican voters, but a fascinating, I mean, it really does

01:10:37.020 give you a picture as to where these candidates stand. If you look at who has the highest net

01:10:41.740 favorability among Republicans, Donald Trump is plus 58. So very good numbers, you know,

01:10:47.940 right. Plus 58 is a wonderful number. You should have, you know, if you're the president of your

01:10:53.560 party, you should have numbers like that. Ron DeSantis at one point was right around the same

01:10:59.420 area, about plus 60. He has fallen now. He's about plus 39. So still pretty good. Really good

01:11:06.420 though. A really good number. He's kind of, he started at about plus 40, went up to about plus

01:11:11.020 60. Now he's been down to about, about plus 40 again. Um, that's happened over the past couple

01:11:15.700 of years, but a very popular candidate, well liked in the party. And this is one of the strange things

01:11:20.080 about this election cycle. There are certainly people, I see him online all the time telling me

01:11:25.040 how evil and horrible Ron DeSantis is, uh, how bad Florida is. You know, I mean, you know, Trump has

01:11:30.960 obviously said a lot of those things as well as his opponent, but like, I don't think the Republican

01:11:35.600 voters buy that at all. I don't think Republican voters think that Ron DeSantis has done a bad

01:11:41.460 job in Iowa or in Florida. I don't think they think Florida sucks. I don't think that they

01:11:46.640 think he would be a bad president. I just think there's a decent amount of people in the party

01:11:51.240 who like Trump more. And I don't know that given the profile of Donald Trump, which is incredibly

01:11:57.560 unique. This is a guy who was the president of the United States. And before that was one of

01:12:03.100 the most famous people in America, he is currently probably the most famous person in the world.

01:12:09.900 Taylor Swift, you go back and forth on that one. I don't know, but I would say he's probably the

01:12:13.560 most famous person in the world. Maybe the Pope. I don't know. He's certainly on that level.

01:12:18.100 And now running with a, a campaign that's kind of based on, you know, his idea that he got screwed

01:12:24.580 in 2020 and he's getting screwed by people today with, with all the persecution from the DOJ and all the

01:12:30.040 rest. Very difficult not to crack if you're an opposing candidate, but plus 38.9% is great

01:12:37.260 for Ron DeSantis in any other circumstance. Nikki Haley is plus 19. So not unpopular, but not nearly

01:12:44.860 as popular as DeSantis or Trump in the party. Vivek Ramaswamy is right around that same area.

01:12:50.560 He's plus 17 when you're talking about favorability. So Ramaswamy came in, almost no one knew about him.

01:12:56.580 He rose up to about plus, almost to the DeSantis levels. When he first kind of came on the scene,

01:13:02.200 he was plus 40, but he's fallen off. You know, the debate performances for Ramaswamy were very,

01:13:07.740 very, you know, polarizing. Yeah. Some people loved him. Yeah. Some people couldn't take him.

01:13:13.740 Yeah. You know, so that was kind of where he is. So again, to give you perspective on the,

01:13:18.060 because I want to give you this last number to give you perspective. Trump plus 58.

01:13:21.620 DeSantis plus 38. Haley plus 19. Ramaswamy plus 17. Chris Christie minus 35.

01:13:34.780 That, and that's among Republicans. This is the party he's trying to win the race with.

01:13:40.740 Yeah. Nobody likes him. Nobody likes him. And of course the Haley people are going nuts. They're

01:13:45.460 like, what are you doing? We could win New Hampshire here. If you drop out, all of his voters would go to

01:13:50.640 Haley. Yeah. I mean, you know, maybe a few would go to DeSantis or Ramaswamy, but none of them would

01:13:55.360 go to Trump. Yeah. You know, and it might be enough for her to win New Hampshire, which would,

01:14:01.700 again, if Chris Christie's stated reason for being in this race, which is to stop Donald Trump,

01:14:08.080 was true, he obviously would drop out. And support Nikki Haley. Of course, it's not true. He has a book

01:14:15.300 coming out. Right. Right. He has a book coming out. He likes being on TV. Nobody likes Chris Christie more

01:14:20.080 than Chris Christie. And so that is the reason he's actually in this race. What's the name of

01:14:23.920 his book? I'm Fat? Is that? That's the subtitle. Oh, okay. Huh. All right. My candidacy. It's my

01:14:30.960 candidacy subtitle. I'm Fat. By the way, I should note, if you go to youtube.com slash stew does

01:14:36.760 America, you'll find a new commercial we helped produce for Chris Christie. A new direction for

01:14:42.320 the campaign. That was just as our idea. We thought maybe people would like it. If you go to youtube.com

01:14:47.980 slash do this America, you can watch it. And I think you'll enjoy it. Okay. I think you'll enjoy

01:14:52.480 it. Check it out on the YouTube page now. So, I don't know. I think when you look at this race,

01:14:58.280 I'd love to get your thought on this, Pat, because you've done a bunch of these. You've covered a bunch

01:15:02.220 of these. I mean, you go back a while. And even before you were in talk radio, you were doing,

01:15:07.580 you know, big radio shows across the country where- We talked about this stuff. It's not election

01:15:13.100 focused, right? But you still talked about it all the time. Yes. Do you remember-

01:15:16.820 In between Britney Spears songs. In between Britney Spears songs. Yeah.

01:15:20.200 Do you remember a campaign like this where it feels like people just aren't interested

01:15:28.120 at this level? I mean, like, I can't remember ever watching debates where people weren't talking

01:15:33.600 about it the next day. And that's happened. Part of that's Trump not showing up. But I think part

01:15:37.820 of it, too, is people just kind of assume it's his nomination.

01:15:40.220 Yeah. And I think everybody's proceeding that way under that assumption that Trump has won this

01:15:46.820 thing. And I've almost reached that conclusion. It looks, doesn't it look, it looks like Trump has

01:15:53.600 won this thing. I mean, when you're 40 points ahead of the rest of the field, when you add up

01:15:58.840 everybody, every other candidate and their numbers, and it doesn't equal Trump's, it's kind of a foregone

01:16:05.060 conclusion. Feels that way. And under normal circumstances, I do think that's true.

01:16:08.980 Yeah. I think there is a bit of an asterisk on this one, because in some ways, it's a two-tiered

01:16:15.740 primary, right? You have the, tier one is the normal race, right? What's a normal race? A bunch

01:16:20.800 of candidates get in, they fight it out, one candidate wins, right? Like, that's the way it's

01:16:24.840 supposed to happen. But you can't look at this election solely that way. You have to look at the

01:16:29.480 second tier of this race, which is, at some point, Donald Trump might be placed in a gulag.

01:16:34.260 Yeah. Right? Like, I don't know what the hell's going to happen. They're, they're trying to throw

01:16:38.520 him in prison. They're trying to make it so you can't vote for him because his name isn't on the

01:16:42.920 ballot. So under that circumstance, you have to look at another tier and pick a second choice

01:16:48.640 and come up with some other way to understand what happens if they do successfully remove him

01:16:54.780 from ballots somehow, which I don't expect to happen. Hope not. That'd be a problem. Yeah. Or,

01:16:59.900 you know, the fact that, you know, they throw him in prison, which is actually, I think, more

01:17:03.860 likely than him taking off, taking them off the ballot. Now, look, he can technically still run

01:17:08.280 in that situation, but who knows what that circumstance brings. So looking at this and

01:17:12.620 who finishes in second and how that progresses is important in this one circumstance. It's not

01:17:18.020 about lining up who, who's going to be the 2028 nominee. Normally, that's what you get out of

01:17:23.320 these, right? Like, I don't know. Well, Marco Rubio could be a future guy because he finished

01:17:26.780 fourth or whatever we were talking about in 2016. This is like, this could happen this

01:17:32.620 election cycle. I mean, if we take the deep state, quote unquote, seriously, you have to

01:17:41.240 think that way. Interesting how those 2016 solid options like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz,

01:17:46.700 Brian Rand Paul, none of them ran. All gone because Donald Trump destroyed him. Yeah. I mean,

01:17:52.620 I think it's true. I mean, as far as presidential candidates, he destroyed them. Even though a lot

01:17:56.440 of them are close to him now. Yeah. But I mean, like, uh, crew, uh, Rand Paul was an interesting

01:18:01.000 one. We talked to him, God, it was probably six months ago now in this interview. And one

01:18:07.300 of the questions we asked him was, you know, would you consider running again? Would you

01:18:10.380 consider jumping in? Maybe, no, you know, it has to be more than this because it was before

01:18:12.900 Trump got in the race, which was now much longer than six months ago. And he, he's like,

01:18:17.180 not if Trump gets in, what's the point? Like, I think he was considering, he would consider

01:18:21.020 running again if Trump wasn't in, but he was, he basically said, what's the point? If Trump's

01:18:25.260 running, he's going to, it's going to be his nomination. 888-727-BECK.

01:18:31.720 Well, it seems like the battle in this country is always uphill, especially when it comes to

01:18:35.640 fighting against the left's constant efforts to destroy America from within. But hope persists.

01:18:41.200 And one of the things you can do is patronize businesses who stand for the same principles

01:18:45.820 that you stand for. Patriot Mobile is one of those companies. Their mission is to passionately

01:18:50.820 defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

01:19:45.020 back after these messages.

01:20:02.240 Pat and Stu for Glenn today. A UFO whistleblower has said that the U.S. government is hiding

01:20:08.400 a 12-meter TARDIS-like. So that's obviously from, you know, the BBC sci-fi thing.

01:20:19.040 I will say when you...

01:20:20.360 Doctor Who.

01:20:20.660 Sometimes you use the word obviously, and it applies. To me, I will say not obvious.

01:20:25.100 No, not on this one.

01:20:25.360 I don't know the reference.

01:20:26.400 Okay.

01:20:26.640 So what is this?

01:20:27.120 TARDIS?

01:20:27.440 TARDIS, yeah.

01:20:28.040 Okay, well, the TARDIS is what Doctor Who flies around in.

01:20:31.380 Okay.

01:20:31.660 It looks like a phone booth on the outside, but it's really big on the inside.

01:20:34.600 So it's 12 meters on the outside, but it's the size of a football field inside, Stu.

01:20:43.360 How would that work?

01:20:44.520 Technology.

01:20:45.420 It's technology.

01:20:46.040 Just technology.

01:20:46.880 You're just going to say the word technology and act like that answers the...

01:20:49.300 Right, yes.

01:20:50.560 Alien technology.

01:20:52.320 Those two words may be together.

01:20:53.960 Okay.

01:20:54.840 So where are they hiding it?

01:20:56.200 Because, I mean, do they hide it in a football field-sized building, or do they hide it in

01:20:59.920 a meter-sized building?

01:21:00.940 I think only a 12-meter-sized building is all you need for something like that.

01:21:04.940 So it doesn't need to be a really big warehouse, like where they're storing the Ark of the

01:21:09.460 Covenant.

01:21:09.980 Okay.

01:21:10.380 You don't need that in the size of a place.

01:21:14.780 Oh, God.

01:21:15.700 Well, it's interesting to note.

01:21:16.920 I mean, honestly, with the way the government is running, I wouldn't put it past them.

01:21:21.140 Yeah, I wouldn't either.

01:21:22.340 I wouldn't either.

01:21:26.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:29.920 Oh, oh, oh, stay up straight and hold the line.

01:21:50.660 It's a new day, a time to ride.

01:21:55.320 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:08.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:14.320 You know who's great is Eric Adams, mayor of New York City.

01:22:22.440 Oh, yeah?

01:22:22.680 Yeah, he's terrific.

01:22:23.720 You sure?

01:22:24.160 Right?

01:22:24.940 But, yeah, aren't you?

01:22:29.180 No.

01:22:29.760 No?

01:22:30.180 You're not sure?

01:22:30.900 Well, I mean, I like some Eric Adams stuff, and then not others, and sometimes he says

01:22:37.180 both of them.

01:22:38.280 Yeah, that's true.

01:22:38.980 So it's hard to know.

01:22:39.340 That is very, very true.

01:22:40.980 We'll get into an Eric Adams slash immigration discussion coming up in one minute.

01:22:48.000 When you absolutely, positively gotta kill somebody because they're threatening your family, well,

01:22:56.720 you need a gun, of course.

01:22:58.000 But not all situations call for deadly force.

01:23:00.680 And in those cases, what you want is the Burna Launcher.

01:23:03.680 It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats

01:23:08.300 running in the opposite direction.

01:23:10.100 It's legal in all 50 states.

01:23:12.160 No permits or background checks required.

01:23:14.420 It can be used by all age groups over 18.

01:23:18.140 The Burna Launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot

01:23:22.820 range.

01:23:23.720 And one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

01:23:27.500 Government agencies and law enforcement are using these already all around the country.

01:23:31.700 Have every option available to you so you're as prepared as you can be if and when the situation

01:23:37.000 rises.

01:23:37.700 That's why Burna is such a great addition to your home defense.

01:23:40.500 It gives you the extra options you might need.

01:23:56.340 It's B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

01:24:03.340 All right.

01:24:03.980 One of the things about Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, is that he feels our pain

01:24:10.660 somewhat.

01:24:11.520 He somewhat feels our pain on the illegal immigration situation because he's been inundated, well,

01:24:18.100 inundated for New York.

01:24:19.700 He thinks he's been inundated by 160,000 illegals.

01:24:25.140 Try about 5 million like we have in Texas or 10 million, whatever the number is.

01:24:30.120 It's way into the millions here, and we've been dealing with it for 60 years.

01:24:36.180 And just expected to do it.

01:24:37.380 Yeah.

01:24:37.760 Just take this one for the team.

01:24:39.660 Yeah.

01:24:39.960 It's kind of the pitch to Texas and Arizona and California at some level and even New Mexico.

01:24:45.520 And up until recently, we were just expected to deal with it, and they didn't care in the

01:24:50.760 Northeast.

01:24:51.360 Well, they care now because Greg Abbott happily sent them some illegals to deal with on their

01:24:57.280 own.

01:24:57.480 And by the way, the number is important here.

01:24:59.680 I think it was 20,000 or 25,000 he sent.

01:25:02.920 Yes, to New York.

01:25:03.780 That's it.

01:25:03.960 Not 160,000.

01:25:05.120 Right.

01:25:05.480 That's right.

01:25:06.060 A small percentage of this.

01:25:07.300 He's getting all the blame and at some level, all the credit, from my perspective, for this.

01:25:13.200 He's, you know, look, he's the guy who stuck by it.

01:25:15.620 Doug Ducey was doing this in Arizona as well, very early on.

01:25:19.580 There was this, you know, the Ron DeSantis, Martha's Vineyard is sort of on that map as well.

01:25:24.160 But really, the person who's done it consistently for a long time has been Greg Abbott, sending

01:25:28.620 buses up to New York, people who want to go to New York.

01:25:32.180 And why wouldn't you?

01:25:33.260 Yeah.

01:25:33.920 It's a free lunch.

01:25:36.060 Yeah.

01:25:36.320 It's a sanctuary city.

01:25:37.960 So you're not going to be prosecuted there.

01:25:40.060 You're not going to be arrested there.

01:25:41.300 It's a great place to go.

01:25:42.680 Won't be turned over to authorities.

01:25:43.800 They guarantee the right to shelter in New York.

01:25:46.620 So you automatically get a place to live.

01:25:49.460 What could possibly be better?

01:25:51.940 And they've purchased four and five star hotels to house illegals in, in some cases.

01:25:56.860 They've also confiscated schools from Brooklyn high school students, kicked them out of the

01:26:01.520 school and put 2,000 illegals in there instead.

01:26:04.760 And they're doing remote learning.

01:26:06.640 This is a real story.

01:26:07.640 This is a real thing that's happening in the United States of America right now.

01:26:10.320 This is happening right now because it got cold in New York, really cold.

01:26:14.160 And so they moved them from 10 cities where they had about 2,000 people hanging out.

01:26:18.240 And they just said, okay, we're going to confiscate this Brooklyn school.

01:26:21.260 And now it's going to be a home for 2,000 illegals.

01:26:24.920 You don't know anything about them, but we're going to move your students out.

01:26:28.680 They can go remote learn somewhere else.

01:26:30.920 And this is where these illegals are going to stay now.

01:26:34.660 Congratulations.

01:26:35.480 2,000 people you don't know anything about in your neighborhood now.

01:26:38.980 Complete collapse.

01:26:40.320 Oh, my gosh.

01:26:40.780 I mean, this is a-

01:26:41.620 It's unbelievable.

01:26:42.240 It's an Eagles-esque collapse that is going on right now.

01:26:45.620 I don't know if I'd go that far.

01:26:46.700 No, that's too-

01:26:47.720 No, that's crazy.

01:26:48.760 I don't want to hurt the feelings of Eric Adams.

01:26:52.200 But this is really pathetic.

01:26:54.000 Now, again, we're talking about a small part of the problem that has hit New York.

01:26:58.740 Very tiny.

01:26:59.380 Now, of course, their rules-

01:27:01.240 They think it's the worst thing of all time that's ever happened anywhere.

01:27:05.180 And their rules make it that way at some level.

01:27:07.180 Like, the right-to-shelter law makes this problem worse in a big way.

01:27:11.140 Now, of course, they won't get rid of it.

01:27:13.560 Of course not.

01:27:14.580 They won't just say-

01:27:15.280 No, because that would be hateful and xenophobic.

01:27:17.020 They might say-

01:27:17.580 Like, you could see a sane society that somehow had this law in the books.

01:27:23.140 Yeah.

01:27:23.320 And says, you know what?

01:27:24.260 We wanted to help illegal, homeless people-

01:27:27.660 Thought it was the right thing to do.

01:27:28.900 When it all gets cold here, you know, who wants to live on the streets?

01:27:33.100 It's not like people are going to take advantage of this.

01:27:34.600 And we now realize that, okay, people will.

01:27:37.520 They will take advantage of this.

01:27:38.920 You got 160,000 people pouring in.

01:27:41.020 Yeah.

01:27:41.160 We can't give them shelter.

01:27:42.280 Obviously, we're repealing this law.

01:27:44.040 It doesn't work.

01:27:45.200 Right.

01:27:45.380 Nope.

01:27:45.860 Nope.

01:27:46.200 They just keep it in.

01:27:46.900 They keep saying nice things about illegal immigrants.

01:27:48.340 They say stuff like, what we need to do is give them green cards so they can work.

01:27:53.200 That's like their big solution to the illegal immigration crisis.

01:27:55.860 Yeah, that'll fix it.

01:27:56.840 Oh, yeah.

01:27:57.340 Well, AOC just said, well, you know what you do about undocumented people is give them

01:28:04.060 documents.

01:28:04.920 Yeah.

01:28:05.260 Oh, okay.

01:28:05.820 That'll take care of the situation.

01:28:07.400 Are they going to use the paper as blankets?

01:28:09.380 How does that work exactly?

01:28:10.840 So stupid.

01:28:11.740 It's not about whether they're documented or not.

01:28:14.220 Though, look, would it be better if we knew who was coming into the country?

01:28:19.360 Sure.

01:28:20.060 But AOC, of course, opposes that.

01:28:22.180 Right?

01:28:22.620 She doesn't want you to know.

01:28:23.580 Yes, she does.

01:28:23.920 She would.

01:28:24.260 If you said, like, we're just going to, you know, make sure we know every single person

01:28:27.000 and put them on a giant list, she would oppose it in a second.

01:28:29.760 But the documentation thing is okay for her because what they basically argue is all

01:28:35.400 these people are here because they're the best people in the world.

01:28:38.600 All they want to do is work super hard and buy mansions all over the city.

01:28:42.640 And you won't let them because you won't let them go to work because it's illegal.

01:28:46.000 As if they would care about that restriction.

01:28:48.940 Remember, they came into the country not caring about that restriction.

01:28:53.640 And now they've gone to these places and are like, well, I just look, I would work and

01:28:57.620 make a hundred grand a year, but they just won't let me.

01:29:00.620 Come on.

01:29:01.880 How can anyone believe that?

01:29:04.440 But of course, it's AOC.

01:29:05.720 And the way that she can believe it is she's an idiot.

01:29:08.160 And that's an interesting part of this, Pat.

01:29:09.680 That dumb people might understand and agree with these arguments, but only dumb people

01:29:15.320 could understand and agree with them.

01:29:18.300 Yeah.

01:29:18.680 And, you know, what's great, what feels good, though, is that the Northeast is getting a

01:29:24.300 little taste of this.

01:29:25.760 Oh, yeah.

01:29:26.100 People like Eric Adams are, you're getting a little taste.

01:29:30.100 I mean, a tiny, tiny little bite-sized taste of what Texas and Arizona and California and

01:29:36.280 New Mexico have been dealing with.

01:29:37.440 Look, I was born in New York.

01:29:39.020 I grew up in Connecticut.

01:29:40.400 I mean, like, there's a lot to say for, especially the food up there.

01:29:45.860 But the policies are insane.

01:29:48.980 They are.

01:29:49.680 They continue to destroy themselves.

01:29:52.640 And look, I don't know if anyone's noticed, I'm not the only one who's left that area.

01:29:57.220 A lot of people, even people who are liberal, are saying, this obviously doesn't work.

01:30:05.140 I need to go somewhere else, like Florida, like Texas.

01:30:08.080 And they're making those choices all the time.

01:30:11.980 They're making those choices with their entire life.

01:30:14.820 They're betting their life on it.

01:30:17.620 They are leaving these areas and uprooting their entire lives to get away from these

01:30:24.040 policies.

01:30:24.900 Now, some of them still go down to Florida and try to vote the other way, which is perplexing

01:30:28.940 and I will never understand it.

01:30:30.700 But generally speaking, you know, people are running away from these places because of the

01:30:35.400 policies we're discussing.

01:30:36.740 And of course, Eric Adams is a whole nother story.

01:30:39.140 Like Adams is, look, as bad as Adams is, he's still better than de Blasio, who was a complete

01:30:44.700 catastrophe.

01:30:46.020 Adams at least does have, at least he's aware of this problem and treating it somewhat seriously.

01:30:51.340 But Adams has this same weird thing that Biden has, which is this strange lack of understanding

01:31:01.980 and knowledge about his own life.

01:31:04.940 He continually tells stories about his life that did not occur, which is really weird.

01:31:13.900 That is weird.

01:31:14.400 Like, could it happen once in your life?

01:31:17.340 Maybe.

01:31:17.680 But with him, it's happened multiple times.

01:31:19.420 He released a vegan, I think, cookbook in 2020.

01:31:23.600 You know, it's about being healthy.

01:31:25.160 He's now, he was a bit unhealthy his whole life.

01:31:27.140 Now he's a healthy vegan.

01:31:28.660 And then like a few months later, they're like, hey, you seem to be eating fish currently.

01:31:34.360 What's the deal?

01:31:35.240 Oh, I eat fish sometimes.

01:31:36.580 Well, that's not, that's not even vegetarian, let alone vegan.

01:31:39.600 That's pescatarian, I think is the word for that.

01:31:41.860 But it's not vegan, right?

01:31:43.640 Like, vegan is like no animal products.

01:31:45.720 He might be like me, mostly vegetarian.

01:31:49.280 You know, but eats occasional fish.

01:31:52.020 Right.

01:31:52.280 Okay.

01:31:52.500 Yes, that is like you.

01:31:53.480 Like me, some chicken from time to time.

01:31:56.060 A bit of chicken.

01:31:56.640 Just a little bit of chicken, a little bit of fish.

01:31:58.960 But mostly vegan.

01:32:00.440 Yeah.

01:32:00.660 You know, well, and sometimes beef.

01:32:05.900 And cheese and eggs.

01:32:07.060 Cheese and eggs.

01:32:07.700 Oh, yeah.

01:32:08.080 Sure.

01:32:09.840 Pork.

01:32:11.360 Sure.

01:32:11.560 Oh, a lot of pork.

01:32:12.220 Incredible amount of pork.

01:32:13.660 Yeah.

01:32:13.820 Ham, bacon.

01:32:15.180 Yep.

01:32:15.820 And on all of its forms.

01:32:17.420 Yeah.

01:32:18.880 But mostly, you know, but definitely a lot of dairy.

01:32:22.760 Oh, yeah.

01:32:23.080 You know, cream.

01:32:24.140 Everything in a cream sauce.

01:32:25.560 Mm-hmm.

01:32:25.900 You know.

01:32:26.580 Sure.

01:32:27.080 But mostly vegetarian.

01:32:27.740 But mostly vegetarian.

01:32:29.340 I mean, there's a lot of animals I don't eat.

01:32:32.780 And a lot of their products that I don't indulge in.

01:32:35.980 You know what I mean?

01:32:36.480 Like you've never had.

01:32:37.540 I've never eaten bear.

01:32:38.220 Horse pudding.

01:32:39.160 Never had horse pudding.

01:32:40.460 Not ever.

01:32:41.040 You don't eat that regularly.

01:32:41.740 I've never eaten hoof.

01:32:43.180 You've never had a hoof.

01:32:44.200 Nope.

01:32:44.900 A hoof biscuit?

01:32:46.140 Nope.

01:32:46.920 No?

01:32:47.260 Not one.

01:32:47.740 I thought one time you did have a hoof biscuit.

01:32:49.560 No, I didn't.

01:32:50.220 Wow.

01:32:50.480 Not that I know of anyway.

01:32:51.620 Right.

01:32:51.780 Sometimes you think you're having, you know, you're having some other lard-based product

01:32:57.380 that it's actually hoof and people don't know.

01:33:00.160 Well, you do keep track of that, don't you?

01:33:02.720 I know.

01:33:04.180 Yeah, you do.

01:33:05.180 Well-

01:33:05.540 Because, like, marshmallows.

01:33:07.220 Who would guess there's animal tendons in marshmallows?

01:33:10.300 Yes, I know.

01:33:10.920 It's weird.

01:33:11.360 Until you, I had no idea.

01:33:13.700 No one-

01:33:14.520 I still eat them like crazy.

01:33:15.860 Because I love them.

01:33:15.940 I don't care, but it's just, it is an icky.

01:33:18.240 Yeah, that's gross.

01:33:18.900 I'd rather have the-

01:33:19.560 They do make marshmallows without the boiled animal tendons in them.

01:33:22.700 Oh, they do?

01:33:23.140 And I, you know-

01:33:24.480 And you do have those?

01:33:25.300 I'd rather have those.

01:33:26.320 Yeah, okay.

01:33:26.960 I would prefer-

01:33:28.080 In fact, not just rather.

01:33:29.900 You wouldn't touch a marshmallow if it had animal tendon in it.

01:33:32.580 I would not.

01:33:33.420 That does not seem yummy to me.

01:33:35.820 But again, to eat your own.

01:33:36.620 But you can taste the animal tendon in it?

01:33:39.840 I don't know.

01:33:40.720 I don't know.

01:33:41.260 I doubt it.

01:33:41.860 I don't think so.

01:33:42.660 I don't think you would know that there's animal-

01:33:43.920 But you just check the label and-

01:33:45.540 That's what gelatin is.

01:33:47.180 That's just gelatin in marshmallows.

01:33:48.820 But gelatin is jello as well.

01:33:50.540 Like, that's what it is.

01:33:51.680 J-E-L-L-O.

01:33:52.980 Jello.

01:33:53.760 Has animal tendon.

01:33:54.740 Yeah, it's made with gelatin, which is gelatin is boiled, like, boiled animal tendons or some

01:34:00.260 sort of-

01:34:00.780 I think a lot of people are learning with me right now.

01:34:03.740 This is not what I intended to do with this segment.

01:34:05.540 I don't want to gross you out on jello.

01:34:07.620 That was not my intent.

01:34:09.100 But let me-

01:34:10.080 But you're saying Eric Adams didn't necessarily live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

01:34:15.880 Now, who cares, right?

01:34:17.080 I don't care.

01:34:17.740 He can eat whatever the hell he wants.

01:34:18.920 But when you write a vegan cookbook about how it's changed your life and made you healthy,

01:34:22.840 it's weird that you would still eat fish, right?

01:34:24.960 Very.

01:34:25.180 It's just a weird thing.

01:34:26.300 Why not just be honest with people?

01:34:28.100 Yeah.

01:34:28.640 Yeah, yeah.

01:34:29.280 There's another story with another one of his books.

01:34:32.280 How many books does this guy have?

01:34:34.240 Well, that's a good question.

01:34:35.440 He doesn't seem to know the answer to it.

01:34:37.520 Let me tell you this story.

01:34:39.800 If you haven't heard it, it's bizarre.

01:34:41.580 Now, he wrote a book in 2009 and it was a parental advice book and it was called Don't Let It Happen.

01:34:51.420 Okay?

01:34:52.200 Now, in this book, he recounts a story from his childhood.

01:34:55.260 May I read this to you, Pat?

01:34:56.480 Sure.

01:34:57.500 I hope you will.

01:34:58.180 When I was a child, a friend of mine brought a gun to school to show off to the rest of the students.

01:35:04.980 This was my first time seeing a real gun.

01:35:08.580 After years of playing cowboys and Indians with toy guns, I did not believe the gun he was showing us was real.

01:35:14.220 I laughed at his stupid trick and grabbed the gun from him.

01:35:17.660 If this gun is real, I said, then it should go off.

01:35:21.440 I pointed what I thought was a toy gun at my group of friends.

01:35:24.660 At my group of friends.

01:35:27.020 And pulled the trigger.

01:35:29.680 A round discharged.

01:35:31.260 And only by the grace of God and my poor aim did the bullet miss my friends.

01:35:37.580 The incident scared me so much that I dropped the gun and ran.

01:35:40.640 Now, that's a pretty amazing story, right?

01:35:43.640 Like...

01:35:43.920 Yeah.

01:35:44.620 And a shocking one.

01:35:45.620 And what a moron.

01:35:46.480 What a moron.

01:35:47.280 But again, a kid.

01:35:48.500 So you give him some sort of break on that.

01:35:50.800 Now, a reporter raised the subject to the mayor and said, hey, I'm reading your book.

01:35:58.840 And it's like, this is a pretty crazy story.

01:36:00.960 You've never talked about it.

01:36:02.960 How...

01:36:03.480 I can't believe you fired a gun in school.

01:36:06.020 You're...

01:36:06.420 You went through law enforcement.

01:36:08.360 You're the mayor.

01:36:09.060 Like, that's a big thing, right?

01:36:11.140 His answer...

01:36:12.520 I never fired a gun in school.

01:36:14.300 Now, I just read you the story about him firing a gun in school.

01:36:19.280 So you think...

01:36:19.820 Yeah.

01:36:20.420 He's fired a gun in school.

01:36:22.120 Now, what happened then became even more bizarre.

01:36:26.480 Because the reporter went back to him and was saying, hey, you did say that you fired a gun in school.

01:36:33.000 It's in your book from 2009.

01:36:36.560 Adam's answer to that was, that book was never released.

01:36:40.300 Now, first of all, how would it even, if it wasn't released, it was just a manuscript or something.

01:36:47.300 It would be weird that the story would get in there, right?

01:36:49.720 Without him, because he was the kid involved in the story.

01:36:52.720 But okay.

01:36:54.500 That's when, when he said, hey, that book was never released.

01:36:58.240 That's when the reporter took the book out and showed it to him because he had just ordered it from Amazon.

01:37:05.420 Oh, it's so great.

01:37:06.360 So the book apparently did get released.

01:37:08.540 Eric Adams claims he didn't know a book from 15 years ago was released.

01:37:16.280 He went through 15 years without knowing the book ever came out.

01:37:20.660 Then his secondary backup to the question was, well, it must have been misinterpreted by my co-author, right?

01:37:29.260 Like, so my co-author writes the story.

01:37:31.940 He hears, I tell the story.

01:37:33.140 He misunderstands it.

01:37:34.400 He miswrites it.

01:37:36.180 I didn't even know it came out, so I never corrected it.

01:37:38.920 Could be plausible.

01:37:39.880 Maybe.

01:37:40.480 In theory.

01:37:41.440 I don't know if it's plausible.

01:37:43.060 I guess it's possible in a weird way.

01:37:44.920 One weird problem with that, though.

01:37:46.800 Yeah.

01:37:47.100 He didn't have a co-author.

01:37:48.280 Didn't have a co-author.

01:37:49.280 Okay.

01:37:50.160 There's no co-author on the book.

01:37:51.740 Oh my gosh.

01:37:52.280 Now he's backed off to, well, it was a ghost writer on the book.

01:37:56.360 Not a co-author, but a ghost writer.

01:37:58.120 And the ghost writer must have been the one who did it.

01:38:00.040 And then the book company also released it without me knowing about it for 15 years.

01:38:05.900 And that's how the story got in the book.

01:38:09.440 So when you said how many books has he's written, we really don't know the answer to that question.

01:38:14.200 And neither does he.

01:38:14.420 And he doesn't either.

01:38:15.300 Yeah.

01:38:17.480 All right.

01:38:18.240 888-727-BECK.

01:38:19.660 More coming up.

01:38:20.440 Incredible.

01:38:20.880 Here's the cold, hard truth.

01:38:23.820 First of all, we don't know how many books Eric Adams has written.

01:38:26.800 But another cold, hard truth is that car repairs are coming your way.

01:38:29.880 They're not going to be cheap.

01:38:30.880 And there's not much you can do about it.

01:38:32.340 They're coming no matter what.

01:38:34.060 These days, a car mechanic will practically charge you just to take a picture of your car.

01:38:38.180 So you have to factor that into your life and your budget.

01:38:41.840 You just have no other choice.

01:38:43.420 But what if you had a way to protect your wallet?

01:38:45.860 What if you could budget this and make it make sense for your future?

01:38:49.980 Well, that's CarShield.

01:38:50.880 You get to lock in your price for a car repairs.

01:38:53.640 And that price never goes up.

01:38:55.600 Glenn is, you know, these poor people at CarShield.

01:38:58.580 Glenn, all the cars he has, they're all, he likes older cars sometimes.

01:39:02.720 They're all breaking down half the time.

01:39:04.640 He's, you know, charged thousands of dollars of repairs to the fine people at CarShield.

01:39:10.260 CarShield offers protection plans for around $100 a month.

01:39:13.240 And they cover more parts than ever before, from alternators to big ticket items like your transmission.

01:39:17.860 Whether your car has 5,000, 150,000 miles, CarShield's got a plan for you.

01:39:21.960 This year, you can choose coverage through CarShield.

01:39:24.440 A resolution you can actually keep.

01:39:26.260 CarShield has had Glenn's back for years and years and years.

01:39:46.620 Station ID.

01:39:54.700 I mean, these politicians and their stories, how do they think they're going to get away with it?

01:40:01.180 It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

01:40:02.780 You've got Eric Adams talking about stories that didn't happen, writing them in books,

01:40:08.680 and then claiming not to have written the book, and then somebody shows him the book.

01:40:12.260 Well, it wasn't released.

01:40:13.240 And then he obviously bought it on Amazon.

01:40:16.700 Incredible.

01:40:17.320 How do you think you're going to get away?

01:40:18.520 Well, because Biden gets away with it all the time.

01:40:21.620 All the time.

01:40:23.060 All the time.

01:40:24.040 He's oddly immune from this.

01:40:26.640 He is.

01:40:27.080 You know, he tells that train story all the time.

01:40:31.680 He traveled 2 million miles on a train, and it was the train conductor, Angelo, who told him that.

01:40:39.240 Years after he had died.

01:40:41.380 First of all, he retired 30 years prior to the story taking place.

01:40:47.040 And then, on top of it, he died before this story could have taken place.

01:40:53.040 And Biden continues to tell that train story to this day.

01:40:57.480 And we pointed this out briefly, but this has actually been a situation where the mainstream media,

01:41:05.500 the New York Times, the Washington Post, have actually done their job.

01:41:09.660 They have called out and said, this story cannot be true.

01:41:14.280 Not only isn't it true, it can't possibly be true.

01:41:16.820 The guy was dead.

01:41:17.760 And it's not Fox News telling the fact check on this.

01:41:22.440 And he still continues to tell the story, even after he's been fact-checked seven and eight times by these organizations.

01:41:27.580 He just did the oil on the windshield.

01:41:29.720 He's got an oil slick.

01:41:31.320 When his mom would drive him to school in the morning in Delaware.

01:41:35.380 Yeah.

01:41:36.240 Delaware.

01:41:36.980 We're not talking Houston, Texas here.

01:41:38.980 Delaware, where the refineries, I guess, spewed such oil pollution that he'd have an oil slick on his windshield every morning driving to school.

01:41:50.900 And his mom would have to run the windshield wipers to get the oil slick off the windshield.

01:41:55.660 Like, what?

01:41:57.420 I lived near an oil refinery and never once had oil on my windshield in Houston.

01:42:08.060 And I'd love to hear from people who lived next to the refinery, right next to it.

01:42:13.480 And tell me about the oil slick on your windshield.

01:42:16.500 It's ridiculous.

01:42:17.900 Pat, I lived inside a refinery for 50 years.

01:42:20.640 You did?

01:42:21.460 Yeah.

01:42:21.800 Oh, wow.

01:42:22.320 And at the time.

01:42:22.760 You're not even 50 years old.

01:42:24.060 That is incredible.

01:42:25.240 At the time, I was a vegan.

01:42:27.720 Oh, okay.

01:42:28.300 And I wrote a book about it in which I shot a gun at children in school.

01:42:35.800 Oh, at school.

01:42:36.720 Not in the refinery.

01:42:37.460 The refinery was also a large school.

01:42:41.180 The kids were put to work at slave labor to refine the oil.

01:42:45.140 That's what big oil is doing right now.

01:42:47.320 Holy cow.

01:42:47.720 So there were still slaves when you were growing up.

01:42:51.020 I should point this out.

01:42:51.660 The entire refinery is mobile.

01:42:53.480 It's on a train.

01:42:54.620 Oh, wow.

01:42:55.080 I rode it every day for 48 years in Delaware.

01:42:58.440 That's incredible.

01:43:01.040 Glenn Beck.

01:43:03.580 Dolores wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

01:43:05.820 She says,

01:44:18.680 All right, we were just dealing this patent stew for Glenn today.

01:44:40.020 We were just dealing with the immigration situation a little bit, talking about that.

01:44:44.580 I like this too.

01:44:46.620 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has just admitted this week that immigration

01:44:52.800 authorities release over 85% of the illegals they detain.

01:44:59.820 Now, I mean, I think we understand that just about everybody who's detained is just released,

01:45:06.060 given a date sometime in the future.

01:45:08.040 Sometimes it's, you know, 2027, sometimes it's 2032.

01:45:12.520 It's been as late as 2035.

01:45:16.200 Okay, at the time, 12 years down the road, you've made them pinky promise to show up to court?

01:45:23.900 Are they not U.S. citizens by then, or they're just, what, hanging out, not working, not living here,

01:45:34.000 not stealing identities from people, not committing tax evasion all that time?

01:45:42.380 Yeah, it's fine.

01:45:43.120 It's fine.

01:45:43.580 It's totally fine.

01:45:44.400 I can't believe you're opposing it.

01:45:46.000 Yeah, it's just xenophobic to oppose it.

01:45:47.960 So I don't want to make it sound like I'm opposing it because I think it's great.

01:45:51.360 Kim, can we take a trip?

01:45:53.120 Do you have a, I don't know if you, I see your computer bag over there.

01:45:57.260 In there, do you have a flux capacitor?

01:45:59.320 Could you grab a, if you happen to have a, if you happen to have any time travel device,

01:46:04.660 because I'd like to go ahead forward to 2035.

01:46:07.660 Oh, okay.

01:46:08.000 Okay, yeah.

01:46:08.760 Now you had a whole harp.

01:46:10.540 Wow, that's a giant harp.

01:46:12.820 You just carry that around with you?

01:46:14.200 Every once in a while, yeah.

01:46:15.420 Wow.

01:46:15.920 I thought it might be, it might come in handy today.

01:46:18.680 Yeah, it's about 150 pounds.

01:46:20.660 Holy crap.

01:46:21.520 I just have that around on my back.

01:46:23.000 Massive.

01:46:23.400 It's like.

01:46:23.840 That's why my back is in such good shape right now.

01:46:25.780 Oh, okay.

01:46:26.040 I'm just getting, getting it stronger, carrying around the harp.

01:46:28.740 I would think maybe it was part of the back problems, but.

01:46:31.360 Oh, really?

01:46:31.580 Yeah, I mean.

01:46:32.200 I mean, I guess you could look at it that way.

01:46:34.040 I thought I was strengthening my back.

01:46:35.880 Yeah, you've been carrying around a harp that's 150 pounds all these years.

01:46:39.240 Now you tell me that might have been a problem.

01:46:40.560 Might have been a problem.

01:46:41.020 So, but now that we're in the future, and we, by the way, the year we've chosen is 2035.

01:46:46.140 Okay.

01:46:46.420 Okay.

01:46:47.080 2035, we're waiting outside of court, waiting for our friend, Bob, the illegal immigrant.

01:46:55.340 Bob, the illegal immigrant.

01:46:56.620 Bob, the illegal immigrant.

01:46:57.940 Yeah.

01:46:58.040 You know, he's been, he's been very busy over the past, you know, 11 years.

01:47:02.300 12, 12 years.

01:47:03.180 Yeah.

01:47:03.440 And he's been just looking around, doing all of his things, and now he's going to show

01:47:06.960 up at court.

01:47:08.260 Yeah.

01:47:08.620 And we're going to be.

01:47:09.120 Well, he's come back to Texas, too, to show up at court.

01:47:12.120 He lived in, he took a bus to New York years and years ago, but he's come back.

01:47:16.580 He's come back.

01:47:17.380 Now, he's a business owner.

01:47:18.840 He promised he would, and so now he is.

01:47:21.580 Right.

01:47:21.680 Because he cares very deeply about our laws.

01:47:23.920 Came in on his Learjet.

01:47:24.440 Which is why he took the time to break into our country illegally in the first place.

01:47:28.140 In the first place, right.

01:47:29.020 So now he's taking his Learjet back to Texas.

01:47:31.220 Because this is the land of promise.

01:47:32.680 Land of promise.

01:47:33.020 When you're here illegally with no documentation, you make a lot of money.

01:47:37.040 Yep.

01:47:37.400 A lot of money.

01:47:38.460 You're doing really well.

01:47:39.180 You're doing really well.

01:47:40.440 So he was, he is, he lives now in Long Island.

01:47:43.740 Right.

01:47:44.060 On a mansion.

01:47:44.820 Yeah.

01:47:45.660 In a mansion in Long Island.

01:47:47.120 Mm-hmm.

01:47:47.560 And he took a Learjet back to Texas to show up for us.

01:47:51.080 Obviously, because it was scheduled.

01:47:52.480 Obviously.

01:47:52.980 It was on his sketch.

01:47:53.780 He put it in his Apple calendar, iCal.

01:47:56.800 And now it popped up.

01:47:58.140 He's like, oh my gosh, tomorrow's the day.

01:47:59.360 I need to go to Texas for that big court appointment.

01:48:01.320 Right.

01:48:01.560 For my asylum claim or whatever.

01:48:03.420 So he called the president of the, he's CEO of his own company.

01:48:09.160 He called the president and said, I won't be there today.

01:48:12.080 No.

01:48:12.800 Unlike Lloyd Austin, he told the people around him he was going to be out.

01:48:16.060 He was going to be out of work.

01:48:17.100 Well, he's an important businessman.

01:48:18.640 Right.

01:48:18.960 Exactly.

01:48:20.140 So he comes down for this appointment and, and he, let's say he loses his case.

01:48:27.100 Oh no, that'd be a shame.

01:48:28.000 That'd be terrible.

01:48:28.640 He has to go back to his homeland.

01:48:29.760 Because he's so successful and he's done so well here.

01:48:31.020 And Bob, by the way, was from Guatemala.

01:48:34.180 Okay.

01:48:34.620 Okay.

01:48:35.100 Yeah.

01:48:35.340 And Bob was going to have to go back to Guatemala.

01:48:37.340 What do you think the left says about Bob?

01:48:42.280 They say he has been here for 12 years and he has become a successful businessman, part

01:48:50.400 of the community.

01:48:51.100 That's exactly it.

01:48:52.660 His children, all they've ever known.

01:48:55.480 His children have been born here.

01:48:56.840 He's got seven children now, all born in the United States, and you're making him go back

01:49:02.080 to Guatemala.

01:49:02.840 All they've ever known is America.

01:49:06.240 Right.

01:49:06.500 And you're making them go back to Guatemala, which is still ravaged by war and economic despair

01:49:14.360 and gangs and whatever else we can say about Guatemala.

01:49:18.500 And it's like, this is how it happens.

01:49:21.700 You give a court date seven years in advance.

01:49:24.380 They live here for seven years.

01:49:25.560 And then they tell you, you can't kick him out.

01:49:26.960 He's been here for seven years.

01:49:28.480 We didn't tell him he should come to court in seven years.

01:49:31.040 That was you.

01:49:32.740 Exactly.

01:49:33.460 We thought he should leave then.

01:49:35.380 We thought he should have left.

01:49:37.400 You know what would be great for the world?

01:49:39.800 Maybe if Guatemala kept their great businessmen and they grew businesses in Guatemala.

01:49:44.620 Yeah.

01:49:44.840 Let it make Guatemala great again.

01:49:48.720 Stop trying to make us that great.

01:49:52.000 Just do this in your homeland.

01:49:53.880 Your country needs you.

01:49:55.320 If these people are so wonderful, their country needs them or it's never going to get corrected.

01:50:01.140 Exactly.

01:50:02.260 But no, we're supposed to select every single person who comes across the border.

01:50:04.780 And Pat, like when we first started talking about this, a lot of the discussion was about a wall.

01:50:10.440 A lot of the discussion was about how do we secure the border?

01:50:13.580 And look, of course, those things are important.

01:50:15.840 But no longer are we in a place where people are even trying to sneak across the border.

01:50:21.760 There's no reason to.

01:50:23.460 They present themselves to Border Patrol immediately.

01:50:26.260 Intentionally.

01:50:27.040 Immediately because they know they're going to be given a free meal and they're going to be escorted directly to some sort of housing.

01:50:33.520 And they're going to say, I come from Guatemala.

01:50:35.820 My name is Bob.

01:50:37.020 Yeah.

01:50:37.220 And Guatemala is a bad place and I need asylum in your great country, not in the 12 other countries I crossed to get here.

01:50:43.360 Yeah.

01:50:43.840 And they will say, okay, we'll come back to court and we'll hear that asylum claim in 2035.

01:50:48.300 And then 2035 comes and they say, well, first of all, they probably don't show up at all.

01:50:54.900 But if they do, they say, well, you know what?

01:50:57.360 He's been here too long.

01:50:58.260 How can we possibly kick him out?

01:50:59.500 We just recently had that stat too.

01:51:01.280 About 95% do not show up for their court date.

01:51:05.280 Just the 95%.

01:51:06.180 Just 95%.

01:51:06.960 Bob did.

01:51:07.700 Bob showed up.

01:51:08.280 A solid, almost solid, because I think it's 95.4% or something.

01:51:12.240 So about 4.6% show up for their court date.

01:51:16.880 Well, a big problem is 95.4% don't have their own Learjet.

01:51:20.620 Yeah.

01:51:20.940 That is a problem.

01:51:21.040 You know, if we just gave illegal immigrants each one Learjet, just one.

01:51:24.980 Well, we give them a cell phone.

01:51:26.160 Might as well give them the Learjet too.

01:51:27.680 Then they can come back for the appointments.

01:51:30.800 That's just an idea.

01:51:32.120 I'm sure they would if it weren't for the global warming problem that that would create.

01:51:37.040 If every, you know, 3.2 million come across the border, I'll have Learjets.

01:51:42.200 Electric yellow buses that Kamala loves.

01:51:44.740 Yes.

01:51:45.060 She loves school buses, Pat.

01:51:46.520 Here we go.

01:51:46.960 She freaking loves them.

01:51:48.820 All she does is dream all day about Venn diagrams and school buses.

01:51:54.000 And they're electric.

01:51:54.800 It gets her very excited.

01:51:56.740 You know, there was a time when even Democrats understood this was a problem.

01:52:00.260 I played on Pac-Ray Unleashed, which you can hear every day right before this show.

01:52:04.380 But I played this morning a really long speech from Joe Biden.

01:52:11.740 I don't know.

01:52:12.100 It was a town hall type thing.

01:52:13.380 He was, I don't know if he was campaigning in 2007 because he didn't run, did he?

01:52:17.480 Did he run for president in 2008?

01:52:18.720 In 2008, he did, right?

01:52:19.340 Yeah.

01:52:19.800 Maybe he did.

01:52:20.340 And he dropped out fairly early.

01:52:21.680 Didn't work, Pat.

01:52:22.320 No.

01:52:22.680 He didn't win.

01:52:23.340 It did not work.

01:52:23.720 But he was explaining the border crisis, which was a crisis then where, gosh, like hundreds,

01:52:31.440 a hundred thousand or several hundred thousand people had crossed the border illegally that

01:52:35.740 year.

01:52:36.760 Wow.

01:52:37.520 In one year?

01:52:38.340 In one year.

01:52:39.620 Wow.

01:52:39.700 It was like 300,000.

01:52:41.480 That's a lot in one year.

01:52:43.080 302,000 crossed the border illegally in December.

01:52:48.660 302,000.

01:52:49.600 Gosh.

01:52:50.200 3.2 million last year.

01:52:52.260 I mean, but they understood it was a problem then.

01:52:55.620 How did this get to this point where the same people don't think it's a problem at

01:53:01.580 all now?

01:53:02.360 It's really amazing.

01:53:03.540 It's amazing.

01:53:04.320 Really amazing.

01:53:04.860 If you go, I mean, you know, look, 2007 isn't that recent anymore as-

01:53:09.300 17 years ago.

01:53:10.360 17 years ago.

01:53:11.340 But that was, if you think in political cycles, that was his run, which led to him being named

01:53:18.080 vice president.

01:53:19.300 Oh, yeah.

01:53:19.740 Right.

01:53:19.860 And he was named vice president, obviously, in the 2008 election and became vice president

01:53:23.480 in 2009.

01:53:23.820 That was the cycle where he called Barack Obama the sort of clean, articulate black man that

01:53:30.900 only happens in storybooks.

01:53:32.560 Right.

01:53:33.960 And for that, he's made vice president.

01:53:36.520 To that clean African-American.

01:53:38.240 And by the way, the reporting after the Obama administration was that the only reason he

01:53:43.040 chose Joe Biden was because he was white.

01:53:47.360 He believed.

01:53:48.480 Now, there was a secondary reason was that he believed his two weaknesses was, number one,

01:53:54.480 some foreign policy weakness.

01:53:56.840 He had never obviously been involved.

01:53:58.600 And Joe Biden was seen as some sort of foreign policy expert.

01:54:01.280 By whom, I don't know.

01:54:03.320 But he wanted to have an elder statesman, right?

01:54:05.740 Someone who had been around and done this stuff for a long time.

01:54:07.780 And he got the elder part, right?

01:54:08.760 But the more important reason was people won't vote for a guy named Barack Obama because he's

01:54:13.260 got dark skin and his name sounds funny.

01:54:15.580 So we need to have an old white guy in here that will make all the racists out there comfortable

01:54:19.660 enough to vote for Barack Obama.

01:54:20.860 And how many times did Obama say that, that people had a problem voting for a guy with

01:54:25.680 a weird last name?

01:54:26.220 With a funny name.

01:54:27.080 Well, nobody had any problem with that because we are so diverse and so open.

01:54:31.720 I don't care.

01:54:32.480 And so not racist.

01:54:34.060 We didn't care.

01:54:35.320 He even shared a name with one of our biggest enemies and he was one letter away from the

01:54:41.300 biggest terrorist on the planet.

01:54:42.800 Yeah.

01:54:43.040 And we're like, sure.

01:54:43.740 And we're like, okay.

01:54:44.540 Yeah.

01:54:44.760 Make him president.

01:54:46.180 I mean, we have.

01:54:47.580 It is amazing.

01:54:48.700 It is incredible.

01:54:49.280 That actually happened.

01:54:50.480 And then we don't, we don't get any credit for that.

01:54:52.460 We're racist douchebags.

01:54:53.680 It's worse than ever.

01:54:54.720 It's worse than ever.

01:54:55.360 It's worse than ever.

01:54:56.100 And this is the circle of grift, right?

01:54:57.580 Like you say, Hey, we got a real problem.

01:54:59.860 Well, is it getting better?

01:55:01.920 No, it's getting much, much worse.

01:55:03.220 It's always getting worse.

01:55:04.300 What do we do about it?

01:55:05.180 Well, we got to vote for Democrats.

01:55:06.880 Why?

01:55:07.580 Well, because of racism.

01:55:09.080 Well, what's happening with the racism?

01:55:10.540 It's getting worse.

01:55:11.460 It's always getting worse.

01:55:12.560 And you always have the only solution is always to vote for Democrats.

01:55:15.180 Yeah.

01:55:15.780 It's the only way you can solve it.

01:55:16.900 And of course that does not solve it.

01:55:18.660 But fortunately, I think a lot of people are waking up to that cycle, that vicious cycle

01:55:23.780 of, of the Democrat party and how bad that has been for minorities.

01:55:28.000 It, it hasn't worked clearly.

01:55:31.600 Let's go to Tanya in Colorado.

01:55:35.160 Tanya.

01:55:35.700 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

01:55:37.920 Hi.

01:55:38.660 Hey.

01:55:38.980 How are you this morning?

01:55:40.480 Very well.

01:55:40.960 Thank you.

01:55:41.200 How are you?

01:55:42.440 Good.

01:55:42.760 I'm a first time caller and I have a master's degree from the university of Denver.

01:55:47.200 I speak Spanish fluently, Hindi, um, beginner, and, uh, I'm an unemployed medical rep who's

01:55:54.000 been in the gig economy and done over 4,000 deliveries in the last year and a half.

01:55:58.700 Wow.

01:55:59.400 So it was very painful to watch.

01:56:00.700 4,000 deliveries?

01:56:02.420 Wow.

01:56:02.900 Yes.

01:56:03.480 And I'm a top rated DoorDash Uber Eats driver.

01:56:06.960 Okay.

01:56:07.200 And I was just talking to your, um, manager about the fact that, um, it is a huge problem

01:56:15.240 and, um, these people who have come here, the migrants, and by the way, I'm married to

01:56:20.520 an Indian who had to wait two years to come to America the legal way.

01:56:24.060 And what we're watching, what we're seeing is that as DoorDashers, as we American DoorDashers

01:56:30.460 who are in between jobs or bridging, bridging jobs or just low income, maybe single mother

01:56:35.860 parents who are trying to do this as a living, you can't even get on the platforms anymore

01:56:40.400 because everyone that's on the platform is from South America, not even Mexico.

01:56:45.220 They stopped coming.

01:56:46.100 It's all South Americans and they shove a phone in the restaurant's face because they

01:56:52.420 don't speak even any English.

01:56:54.420 I've seen that happen.

01:56:55.400 And they expect to be, yeah, they expect to be helped.

01:56:57.900 Um, and, um, like we can't even get on the apps anymore because they're now like, by the

01:57:04.500 way, um, like even the ones that are legal or not legal, they don't have work permits.

01:57:09.820 So they're actually renting accounts with people with real social security numbers, maybe even

01:57:14.840 cars.

01:57:15.440 We are hearing that it's, they're getting, they're paying $150 every two weeks for someone else's

01:57:20.600 account.

01:57:21.120 What are the tax ramifications on this?

01:57:23.740 Who are these identities?

01:57:24.820 They're parking in handicapped spots because they're not realizing that's important.

01:57:29.140 And just the other day, I was talking to one of my friends who's a single mom and they're

01:57:34.540 carrying two phones.

01:57:35.960 So they not only have one account, they have two accounts and people are wondering why their

01:57:39.620 food's not getting to them properly.

01:57:42.260 And the companies are aware of this.

01:57:44.540 There are articles in New York about this that I've read.

01:57:47.860 And, and like, um, they're lowering the base pay because these people will take upside down

01:57:54.760 orders, like 10 miles for $5.

01:57:57.840 I, you just can't afford that.

01:57:59.700 So, and even people, if you, um, you know, um, if people are trying to bridge the inflation

01:58:06.460 kind of gap, so say they have a regular job and, you know, as we know, food's gone up 20%

01:58:11.840 crazy amounts and they take a second job to support their family, they can't even use

01:58:17.820 this as a platform anymore.

01:58:19.860 I mean, amazing.

01:58:20.680 It's funny.

01:58:20.940 We should actually, we should go into what they're trying to do.

01:58:23.500 The gig economy in Washington right now, they're trying to pass new laws to make them employees.

01:58:27.220 And it would be a catastrophe for this entire industry.

01:58:29.140 But I do have one question before we let you go, Tanya.

01:58:31.660 Have you ever snagged a French fry?

01:58:33.300 No.

01:58:35.520 Okay.

01:58:35.860 No.

01:58:36.340 No.

01:58:36.580 Not a 4,000 orders.

01:58:37.860 4,000 orders.

01:58:38.680 Not one French fry in your mouth.

01:58:41.000 No, but it's not.

01:58:42.460 Occasionally an order gets canceled and you get to keep the whole order.

01:58:46.000 All right.

01:58:47.240 That's good.

01:58:47.940 At least you get that.

01:58:48.520 That's not bad.

01:58:48.880 All right.

01:58:49.220 Tanya, appreciate it.

01:58:50.140 Thank you so much.

01:58:51.340 I don't know.

01:58:52.720 I feel like sometimes the French fries come light.

01:58:54.420 I'm just going to say it.

01:58:55.320 I mean, I think sometimes they come light.

01:58:57.600 Just like the rest of us dogs need a good dose of nutrition in the food they eat in order

01:59:02.460 to lead a happy and healthy life.

01:59:03.720 They can't get DoorDash.

01:59:04.800 They can't dial phones.

01:59:05.700 Very difficult for dogs with paws to dial phones, Pat.

01:59:08.340 Wow.

01:59:08.740 What's wrong?

01:59:09.560 They can't click the right button on the order.

01:59:10.900 Why haven't we done anything about that?

01:59:12.980 Why?

01:59:13.200 There is a new act coming out of Washington, the Opposable Thumbs for Dogs Act.

01:59:18.240 We'll get into that maybe in a future episode.

01:59:21.040 But let me tell you about Rough Greens because you can actually, I don't know, maybe get the

01:59:26.300 nutrition that you want to get for your dog, the healthy stuff.

01:59:30.140 Rough Greens is not a dog food.

01:59:31.240 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog

01:59:35.600 food.

01:59:36.340 And remember, brown food is dead food.

01:59:37.840 You want the greens.

01:59:38.880 You name it.

01:59:39.420 If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

01:59:42.080 The folks over at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

01:59:45.160 They have a special deal for you.

01:59:46.820 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.

01:59:50.920 They're going to give you the first trial bag free.

01:59:53.940 I mean, all you have to do is pay shipping.

01:59:55.840 So a free bag, why not give it a shot?

02:00:36.120 Can you get Kexy cookies on DoorDash?

02:00:38.760 Yes, you can, actually.

02:00:39.940 Really?

02:00:40.160 Yeah.
