The ONE Person Who Could Convince Biden to Drop Out | 7/9/24

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's going to tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah.

Aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Got no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stay the strength

and hold alive.

It's a new day, a time to ride.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

With Pat and Stew today, Glenn's on vacation this week, 888-727, B-E-C-K.

I think we continue to enjoy really unique times in the United States of America.

Maybe in world history.

I mean, I don't remember anything like this going on where

members of a president's own party Many of them are demanding that he step aside and not run for re-election.

The last president to step aside, by the way, and not run for re-election was LBJ, Lyndon Johnson.

I guess he had, I don't know, he was in the middle of Vietnam.

He had some health issues.

Plus, he was just a terrible president.

Yeah, one of the worst presidents of all time, which people don't necessarily mention enough.

No, not enough LBJ.

A racist, a bad president, a bad guy.

All of the problems we have today, he had a hand in almost every single one of them individually.

Yeah.

So a lot of the $31 trillion in debt is thanks to LBJ.

Basically all of it.

Yeah.

Basically all of it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

But they continue.

The Bidens continue to be defiant.

We'll talk about that much more coming up in one minute.

You know what television needs?

A nice little cooking show for dogs.

You know, it would be so easy.

Every episode would basically be the same thing.

A dog makes a batch of kibble food, turn the oven all the way up to the top at a high temperature, and just bake that kibble until it had nothing left of nutritional value at all.

And then the dog would just go away to find some human food.

That's pretty much what would go on.

Basically, I don't know if it's a million dollar idea or not, but if you want your dog to have good nutrition, maybe not pestering you at the bottom of the table for your human food all the time, maybe give them rough greens.

It's not a dog food.

It is a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black that you sprinkle on top of the dog food.

Remember, brown food is dead food.

You want the greens.

If you care about your dog,

you want them to have the best.

And you name it.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably already in Rough Greens.

The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

They have a special deal for you.

Go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

They're going to give you your first trial bag free.

That's right, free.

All you have to do is pay shipping or call 833-GLEN33.

833-G-L-E-N-N-33 for Rough Greens.

Call today.

We actually played the Joe Biden call-in to MSNBC and Joe and Mika yesterday, and it was fascinating because

you can actually hear the paper rustling as he's reading it.

I didn't notice that, can you?

Yeah.

Yeah, but it was all from his heart.

It was just all from the heart.

Yeah, I was on with Megan Kelly after the show yesterday, and she made the point.

I think I agree with this.

I'd love to hear your take on it.

That basically television networks should not take calls from candidates on the phone

because

they can be doing exactly what Joe Biden was doing.

They could just be reading.

Yeah.

And you can't tell.

And like, I think, especially in this era, I think that's probably the right call.

You should just refuse it.

Like, Joe Biden wants to come on the air with you.

Like, it's probably a big get for Joe Scarborough.

Obviously, outside of 14 people in Washington, D.C., nobody talks about it.

So for a day, people notice that he still has a show.

And so I'm sure it's tempting to take the call.

But

is it the right thing to do?

I mean, even when Trump used to call in all the time, but like, and I don't think, I think you can tell Donald Trump was not reading notes.

He's just going off the top of his head.

That's how Donald Trump is.

But still, like, it opens up that opportunity.

And I don't think it's a good one.

They should be able to be speaking to you directly.

Although, if the president called into this show, I think I'd want to take it and ask him some tough questions.

Yeah.

Wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you want to take the.

Yeah, I mean, on radio, look, there's no video call, right?

There's no option.

So I think on radio, maybe it's a little bit different.

But on TV, you have the

like freaking get in front of a camera if you want to go on a television show.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I think on radio, obviously different.

But it's

interesting because I've never seen him do that before.

I don't know that he's ever

called into a live show like that before.

These are the aides around him coming up with strategies to continue to hide what we all know is going on.

And look, if you are in that role, this is your job.

Your job is to fool the American people into thinking your candidate has a brain that is operational.

You know, I mean, it is.

I've just been watching the original Star Wars trilogy with my daughter for the first time.

She's never seen it.

Starting with episode four?

Yeah, I made that call.

That was the right call, right?

That's the right call.

I thought so, too.

She, you know, at one point she asked, she's like, well, why don't I just, if the one, two, and three, why don't I just watch one, two, and three first?

And I was like, I don't think it's going to work.

I don't think, I think there's references to things you're supposed to know.

I just don't think it's going to work.

So we didn't go that way.

But at that point, where we're, you know, what was it, Return of the Jedi, the fully operational battle station,

like, that is

what you have have to say if you are an aide and a campaign worker for Joe Biden.

You have to say his brain is fully operational, even though everyone looks at it and says, well, wait a minute, that doesn't look like it.

It looks like half of it isn't even built yet, right?

Yeah.

It looks like a big chunk is missing out of the Death Star.

And while in the movie, the Death Star could fire,

I don't know why they didn't use it more often.

It just seems like every once in a while they'd use it, but it seems like they could fire it more often than they did.

The bottom line is, at the end of the day, it's not operational in the Biden case.

It doesn't work.

It is the equivalent of an old beat-up car that's been sitting in your garage for 15 years, and you try to turn it on.

And when you, when you crank that key, it doesn't, it makes car sounds, but it doesn't actually go anywhere.

And that's where we are.

So you come up with ways to fool people, teleprompters and speeches, teleprompters at private fundraisers, and what is basically the equivalent of a teleprompter on a live interview.

He's got notes right in front of him.

He's just reading.

It's as if Joe Scarborough is a child and a fairy tale is being read to him.

And Joe Biden just like reading it off of cards.

I don't know what you get out of that.

And by the way, we should note, Pat, he didn't even do it well.

No, not at all.

It didn't even hide his infirm state.

So if he was reading it, and as usual, he can't handle that.

There's something wrong with his reading skills uh he can't do it and when it comes to numbers i mean he cannot handle numbers no now he doesn't know if it's millions or billions trillions a trillion billion thousand million

He does that all the time.

You don't think that a person could just mess up numbers constantly and still work at a high level?

Not every time.

Let me tell you about a guy named Glenn Beck.

But Glenn Beck's not the president of the United States.

No, but he's in the Radio Hall of Fame.

The The guy's never said a correct number on the air in 25 years.

That is true.

That is true.

He's got a little something in common there.

Joe, that's great.

That's great.

He's in good company.

You know, there would be an additional level of scrutiny on Glenn if perhaps he ran for president of the United States.

Yeah,

maybe.

And people might get on him a little bit more about him screwing up numbers.

But you're right.

Joe Biden never says the right number.

He can't even say like basic words at this point.

And he really can't finish sentences.

I don't know what that is.

He gets halfway through a sentence and just stops and goes on to the next thing.

And then it's usually

anyway, or

look,

or

let me say it this way.

Or, and then he says that.

Or the idea that

and then tries to go on to something else.

Yeah.

Or

Horlick will be like, and

Medicare and number one.

Like he starts, he tries to build a list, and you're like, good God, don't go into a list, man.

You don't have two things you can think of.

You couldn't even come up with number one.

But he tries to go, like, he acts as if he's got,

these are all things he does to hide what's going on.

Yeah.

You know, when you say number one, it's like it sends a weird message to people that, like, okay, actually, he's got a list of things.

And maybe he's getting confused because he's got so many things going on in his head.

He's got a picture.

belief.

Now, I think everybody can see through that, but

still, I mean,

a good chunk of the country thinks he should be president of the United States.

So it's amazing.

Interesting story from the Washington Post about the missteps, the screw-ups of the people around him and how they've handled this since the debate.

That

he flummoxed donors with brief, quiet speeches at post-debate fundraisers.

So,

bad.

As he's trying to prove that that was just a one-off.

Yeah, I had one Ben Knight,

but watch me now.

And he has actually said, I think he said it yesterday.

He's been saying it for years.

Watch me.

Yeah, that's the problem.

We are.

I have a cognitive test every day.

Every day.

And just watch me.

Watch what I do.

Okay.

By the way, the reason.

Really Terry Hart, by the way.

Yeah.

When he told reporters to follow him.

If you don't think I'm a good guy, follow me and watch what I do.

And they did.

And they found that he was having an affair with somebody.

And so that was not a good idea.

That's a ballsy thing to do.

I mean, it's pretty ballsy for Biden, too, because people have been watching him.

The president of the United States is sort of hard to miss.

And what people have decided is he's got a 36% approval rating.

This is before the debate.

Yeah.

Right?

I don't know what it is now, but I mean, before the debate, he was at 36%.

If If it doesn't go down, there's something wrong with the American people, too.

It's not just him, it's us.

There is a disease the American people are afflicted with, which is extreme partisanship.

And this is why I am fearful of this election, even if Biden stays in, which I still think is the best option here, because it makes the path to less insanity more, you know, straightforward.

Easier.

I think easier.

But, you know, look, the bottom line is we talk about like, we talk about Trump derangement syndrome, right?

What does that mean?

Well, about half the country has an irrational hatred for Donald Trump and will never vote for him.

Well, I think we all agree that's true.

So if that's true,

you should be fearful every second of the next four months because there's no room for error, right?

Like Donald Trump has about half the country that will never, ever consider voting for him.

So, and then maybe the number is 45%, maybe it's 46%.

It's somewhere in that vicinity, probably.

And that makes the path for Donald Trump difficult.

It means that because of this irrational hatred, because of what the media has done to Donald Trump, because of these things that have gone on since Donald Trump has been in the public eye going back years and years and years and years, like there's a bunch of people that never will consider it no matter what.

So it doesn't matter if it is an invalid.

It doesn't matter if it's a word salad lady.

It doesn't matter if a guy who looks like he's out of, he's Patrick Bateman in a serial killer movie.

It doesn't matter who it is.

Like right off the bat, those guys all start with 45% of the vote.

And then you just got to kind of cross your fingers.

So it's always dangerous.

We are always in a situation where this is going to be scary.

And even with a guy who can't seem to complete a sentence, it's going to be difficult.

I still think it's the easiest path, though.

And him staying in the race, which I think there's some pretty big developments on that today, is notable.

You know, I mean,

it makes that path more straightforward.

And I think it's obvious to most people, even though they hate Donald Trump, that this guy should not be president.

And that's helpful for an independent.

It's helpful for people who are on the fence, whoever those freaking people are.

It's hard to believe there's anybody like that now.

It really is, Pat.

Yeah.

888-727-BECK.

More coming up in a minute.

Our NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic and shocking story made national headlines.

During a traffic stop, Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal.

He was the first line of duty death for, and this is

two years in the NYPD.

Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests and was awarded as having excellent and meritorious police duty on several occasions.

Jonathan, who was just 31 years old, leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, his one-year-old son, Ryan, and his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family.

At his funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless.

She said, my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one.

For this family, nothing will ever replace the loss of a husband and father.

But thanks to the kindness of friends like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to pay off the mortgage on the Diller family home.

Our fallen heroes and their families need help, and Tunnel to Towers is stepping up.

helping heroes like Jonathan and their families.

If you can help out, please do.

This is a great organization.

They've done so many fantastic things for people who have made this country what it is.

Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.

That's t the number 2t.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

You know,

Stu, you mentioned

the brain test and whether or not he's taken one.

Mika actually asked that.

I don't know.

Did we play that part of the interview yesterday?

We only got about three sentences into the interview.

That sounds our fault.

But here is Mika asking Joe Biden if he's had a brain test.

Have you been tested for any age-related illnesses, pre-Parkinson's, or anything like that that might explain sort of having a night like that where you couldn't finish sentences.

It's funny.

I had before,

I was feeling so badly before the debate

when I came back.

They tested me before,

I thought maybe I had COVID, maybe there was something wrong, I had an infection or something.

Something tested me.

They gave me those tests.

I was clear.

But have you had a brain test?

Look, I had a bad night.

But the fact of the matter is,

look at what I'm doing.

I mean, let me put it this way.

If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes and you say that's one night and goes away.

That's why I've been out.

I've been testing myself.

I've been testing everywhere I go.

Going out and failing everywhere you've gone.

Of that debate, I went out.

I was out till 2 o'clock in the morning that very night.

That very night.

It drives me nuts, people talking about this.

Drives him nuts, people talking about it.

I don't want to drive him nuts.

No, you don't want that.

That's sad.

We should stop talking about it.

Why haven't we?

You know?

He drives the poor man nuts.

Leave him alone.

He's just the president.

It's not like he's got an important position that you really want to vet.

No.

And you want to make sure the guy's capable of doing this job?

No way.

Don't worry about it.

Move on.

Do we really need people who can form coherent thoughts, running the country?

Oh, look, he's been tested every day.

Every day.

Watch him.

Watch him.

Watch him.

Watch him.

Listen to him.

Security secretary.

I'm not sure.

After I signed the

PAC Atlack Act into.

Pac-Atlak.

I mean,

good God.

We are in trouble.

And

I think this is going to be a MeowMix commercial

pretty soon.

I'm not sure about Du Shaw.

I mean, you think it just

say your stumbles louder.

At least that would make you think, okay, he's not just raiding away into nothing.

It's just look, the whole thing is really sad on a human level.

It's just the fact that our country is at stake is kind of a big problem.

Yeah, so

less sad than pissed.

Yes, I'm pissed.

It is selfish.

I'm going to be selfish.

I'm going to say I'm going to say, hey, you know what?

I've got a couple of kids, a wife living in this country, would like it to not go down the tube.

He'd like to like it to continue.

Yeah.

But just to be clear, the answer was no.

He did not take any brain tests.

He has no plan to ever do that.

And why?

Because he would fail.

If nothing is wrong with you, though, is you keep saying it was just one bad night.

We've got no other evidence, despite the fact that we've got hundreds and hundreds of clips of him doing the selfsame thing over and over and over and over again on many, many days and nights.

But he keeps claiming he's fine.

Well, then prove it.

Do the test.

Say, yes, absolutely.

I'll submit to a test just to put the American people at ease.

Then I'm fine.

And then I will release the results to the American people.

And you'll see that I don't have anything wrong with me cognitively.

Why wouldn't you do that if nothing's wrong with you cognitively?

You would.

And these are basic things.

Anybody can pass these tests.

They're not hard.

Right.

He just, I mean, mean, can you imagine what happened if he failed?

It would be over, you think.

Although, again, he'd still be in control of this.

And this is one of the things I keep coming back to.

The bottom line is the man who has to say Joe Biden is not president and is not the nominee is Joe Biden.

Yeah.

Not even Jill, not Hunter, certainly not Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer, definitely not Jerry Nadler.

Definitely not these congressmen that have been like, oh, I've never heard of that person before, that have come out publicly and said that he should step down.

None of this.

All that matters is him.

Unless they're going to go 25th Amendment on him.

And even in that case, as we discussed, which is not going to happen, but even if it did, he would still remain on the ballot unless he decided he was off of it.

25th Amendment just takes you out of office.

He could still be the candidate if he wanted to.

Can you imagine if they did that?

That's what I want to happen.

This is what I'm rooting for.

They actually do the 25th Amendment.

Kamala Harris organizes a coup, and then he just stays on the ballot and loses.

Wouldn't that just be an incredible story?

What would probably happen, though?

He'd stay on the ballot and win.

Then you've got a problem.

That would be amazing.

Wouldn't that be something?

By the way, just

to go back as we're going to break here to our previous conversation on approval rating.

On June 27th, that's the day of the debate, his approval rating was 38.1%.

It is currently 37.4%.

Like, I don't know.

If I'm Joe Biden, like,

what has his

media has said it?

Yes, some Democrats have said it, but have your own voters said it?

Really?

I'm not.

I mean, yes, you can find polls that say they wanted to out, but at the end of the day, if this approval rating said 29%, he's probably out.

At 37, he probably just keeps going.

He's going to chance it.

Why not?

I mean, if you're him and you're already corrupt and already a disaster of a human being, why not?

Glenn Beck.

If you happen to be living with everyday aches and pains, there are a lot of things that you can try.

You can tough it out, you can bite the bullet, you can grin and bear it.

I don't know if you know this though, but nothing, that doesn't really work.

It worked maybe in TV and movies, but maybe not in real life.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

Triple 8727BECK.

Stu, you say that you have the biggest Biden story of the day?

Yes, biggest Biden story of the day.

Maybe the biggest Biden story since the debate.

Oh, all right.

The biggest Biden story since the debate.

Okay.

You ready for it?

I think so.

Prepare yourself.

Okay.

U.S.

officials say Russia is unlikely to take much more Ukrainian territory.

Russian forces are inflicting pain, but NATO leaders gathering in Washington say that their efforts to strengthen Ukraine are working.

Now, why is that the biggest Biden story since the debate?

It's because it is since the debate, the first time I have checked the New York Times and their top story was not about Joe Biden dropping out.

Oh, wow.

Every since the debate, there has been either Joe Biden's getting trashed, we're calling for him to drop out.

We have new people who are saying they're going to drop out.

Here's Kamala Harris.

How can she do?

Well, should there be another primary?

Joe Biden fails in an interview.

He's not going out as much.

He's not making calls.

Every single angle they could possibly come up with to try to get Joe Biden to drop out of this race has been at the front and head of the New York Times every single moment since that debate happened.

Today I woke up and decided to check it, which I do for you every day so you don't have to do it.

Thank you for doing that.

I will say it sucks, but I do it every day.

And when I did today, a Russia story.

Now, they could obviously lead.

You could lead with Russia every, there's always a story about Russia and Ukraine you you could throw in there if you want to.

The fact that

this is no longer leading the coverage is, I think, a huge indication that he may have succeeded.

I think he's going to ride the storm out of the leave.

He's riding the storm out.

Now, I think it's in some ways premature to be sure about it because he could come out tomorrow and have another debate type performance and start this thing up again.

If he has a catastrophe in front of a large audience,

he could start it up again.

If he stays in and he somehow muddles through until September 10th when the next debate happens and he actually goes through with the second debate which he's already said he's going to yeah and then you have it happen again well then it's too late right it's too late at that point you can't switch him out yeah i mean there would be all sorts of legal problems with that states have rules about switching out nominees now uh

because i could easily see that happening again yeah he i he will melt down in a second debate.

Sometime during the debate.

Probably.

It's hard to imagine it being worse than that one.

Yeah.

But even if the Scarborough interview yesterday was really bad.

It was worse than the Stephanopoulos interview.

Yeah, it was bad.

He was all over the board.

He was trying to laugh and be funny,

but he was slurring his words.

It was bad.

As I said yesterday,

the one to 10 scale that exists for politicians, all Joe Biden content exists between one and three on that scale.

So the best thing that Joe Biden could ever do would be a three out of 10.

The Stephanopoulos interview was like a two out of 10.

It was like not his best, not the best thing I've ever seen out of Joe Biden, but it was like in the middle, middle, upper, I don't know, 2.1, 2.2.

The Scarborough thing was like 1.3.

It was really bad.

It was bad.

It was bad.

The debate performance was a zero, like maybe a negative one.

But if he has more zeros and negative ones, this could change.

And he, he, I guess, could drop out himself.

I mean, if he had some, if they fake a medical condition, in theory, he could drop out.

The closer and closer it gets, though, the more and more ridiculous it gets.

And

there are laws that would keep him out of certain states.

Like, they would actually have real problems there.

There's a million

logistical issues that come with a later departure.

I think, though, the answer, though, is he can't say he's not doing this debate now.

If he says that, everyone's going to go, wait a minute, you just said you were fine and now you can't do the debate.

He has to say he's in.

However, at the end of August, after the convention's over, he doesn't have to say he's in anymore.

Oh, I'm not going to debate

this convicted felon now.

Not after what he just said last week.

Whatever he said last week is.

They'll come up with some justification to get him out of it, I think.

They could.

But, you know,

the American people look at Joe Biden and have no faith in him.

They realize that he can't do this job.

86% of people say he's too old to do this job.

But Joe Biden does not look at himself that way.

Not at all.

That is the big thing I think a lot of people miss when they say

that he's going to be on the top of his game.

Yeah.

He thinks he can do it and he really wants the power.

And he thinks he can trick us into believing that he can do it.

And that's why he does the fake jog all the time.

Yep.

You know, drives me out of my mind.

Oh, I hate the fake jog so much.

Pisses me off.

And he'll do it two or three times

in like 10 feet.

He'll do the fake jog three times.

So what is the fake jog, Pat, designed to convey?

That

he's full of vim and vigor.

This man can sprint.

He can jog to wherever he's going at any time.

He'll just start running.

But the fake jog is just a couple of steps, right?

And it's just an arm movement.

He doesn't even move any faster.

He doesn't go any faster.

He just moves his arms.

I hate it.

Oh, it drives me out of my mind.

It's one of his many quirks.

It really is.

It is.

That and Don't Jump are two of my just unbelievable pet peeves.

I know you've explained this before, but can you give the audience a taste of what Don't Jump is?

Anytime Joe Biden is at an event, could be a speech, a gathering of any kind, and there's anybody standing above him.

Like someone like a balcony, like a balcony.

Like a platform or

seating above him.

Sure.

He will look up at them and he will inevitably say,

don't jump.

And he thinks it's funny for some reason.

Like suicide is funny to him.

Suicide attempts are just so humorous.

They are hilarious.

I have to say it everywhere I go.

Don't jump.

Yeah.

Don't jump.

And then he gets a huge laugh, right?

That's what you say.

Almost never.

Almost never.

Almost never.

Occasionally, he'll get like a.

That was weird.

Kind of reaction.

You know, but

I mean, every once in a while you have a go-to line you think really works and you bring it out over and over again.

Yeah.

Stunningly, with Joe Biden, it's this, and I don't think I understand.

I mean, listen, I see it.

Yeah.

And we also don't jump.

We need you.

Don't jump.

We need you.

I didn't see the bleachers up there.

Hey, everybody.

Okay, I didn't see the bleachers is the setup.

Yep.

To jump don't jump

Don't jump don't jump why

why are you doing it why what is this

Don't jump

don't jump

Don't jump and don't jump

Hey, hey man,

don't jump you look crazy enough to jump!

Don't jump!

Don't jump!

Look!

Okay.

And we're coming!

Don't jump!

Cancer, Mr.

Secondary.

Don't jump.

Someone used to jump.

Don't jump.

The cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and don't jump.

I'm up there, okay?

What on earth is that?

Not a joke.

So weird.

What is going on?

I will see.

It's one of the weirdest things ever.

It is.

From a politician.

Yeah.

And it's not really funny.

There's a couple he gets.

You're right.

A couple mumbly laughs.

That's about it.

One interesting thing about listening to that, though, Pat, if I may.

And those have been compiled over a few years, right?

Like since he's been president.

All of them have been since he's been president, I think.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think he could speak like that today.

Like there are times where he seems like he's speaking relatively normally.

Yeah.

There are times in there where he has some energy and

kind of and and he's and he's not capable of that.

I don't think he's capable of any of those moments now, which is terrifying.

Because those aren't good moments.

We're highlighting them because they were bad.

Yeah.

And yet.

Yeah.

But there is a certain energy, usually.

Yeah.

To don't jump.

He just loves that.

That's a shtick.

It's like the Jim Gaffegin hot pockets bit.

He just loves it.

I have noticed, and there's been a dearth of don't jumps in about the last maybe three months.

I think it's probably been two or three months.

Has that slipped out of the back of the mind?

Might be out of the mind, or maybe he's, like you said, just not capable of that kind of energy where he looks up at people and I'm going to do that funny, charming line.

Don't jump, because suicide is so funny.

And I'm going to encourage them not to.

I mean, what?

You know, if that was Donald Trump saying don't jump to people all the time, that's what he would get.

Yeah, he would get something stupid.

Like, you know, like, oh, suicide is is not funny.

That's no laughing matter.

People have jumped from heights and killed themselves over it.

That's what would happen to Trump.

You're probably right.

You're probably right.

I mean, in reality, it's just a stupid joke.

Asinine, yes.

Fascinating.

By the way, Joe Biden, and this has been incredible to watch.

And I wish I had the guts to try to roll through a market like this and just make money.

But every time I refresh the betting markets on who's going to be the Democratic nominee, it's different.

Like Kamala Harris had like a 30-point lead at one point.

Right now, Joe Biden, 71, Kamala Harris, 18%.

Wow.

So we are back now, apparently in the Joe Biden category.

He now looks like he's going to hold on, which is incredible.

Michelle Obama, 4%, by the way, Glenn, if you happen to be listening.

She is third, so I shouldn't be too cocky.

But it is, he has,

it's easy to figure out what the strategy should be in this moment.

The strategy should be: you have a bad debate performance, you come out, you hit the ground hard, you do interview after interview, you do a Sunday show, maybe two Sunday shows.

You come out, you do everything you can to reassure people.

You're doing events.

You're not going on Prompter.

You're not doing events where you make the hosts ask you questions you've predetermined and get them fired.

You don't go on Joe Scarborough on the phone and read your answers.

Like, that's not what you do.

So, executing the strategy strategy is the issue.

The strategies should be easy.

If he came out and had 10 great interviews in a row and looked sharp, it'd be fine.

People would be like, all right, like, that was bad.

You would say, okay, that was a one-off performance.

One-off performance.

He's fine.

But it's not a one-off performance.

They've done everything to try to hide that it wasn't a one-off performance.

And at the end of the day, like, people need to, like, all of these excuses that have piled up now:

the cold,

the jet lag,

the dehydration, the working too late,

the not getting enough sleep.

I know I'm missing

the overprepared, the too many numbers in his head.

Overprepared, yes.

I mean, there's a bit of, he was exhausted.

All of these excuses that they've rolled out one after another.

Donald Trump was yelling during the debate.

But even though he was on camera and wasn't moving his mouth, all these things that have popped up since the debate

are steps to try to cover what actually happened.

But remember, things like the cold is a perfect example of

something you would have known about if it was a factor.

In the days leading up, if this guy had a cold and he's going to come out with a raspy voice and he was going to be incoherent, they would have been peppering the media.

Like, even

to lower expectations.

Change expectations.

And like, we would have called it out.

We would have said, oh, come on, he's got a cold.

Now he's trying to lower expectations.

Everybody on the right would have seen it, but they would have done what they could to lower expectations and change that.

None of that happened because none of it was true.

He didn't have 12-day jet lag.

That's not a thing.

I don't know what jet he was on, but that's not a thing.

All of this is obvious to anyone who thinks about it,

but,

you know, and what I think is fascinating about that is it's even obvious to the left.

It's obvious to the media, and it's why we got this full court press to get him out over the past couple of weeks.

We are now getting to almost two weeks from this debate.

And he's still in.

He's still in.

I think I said that on debate coverage right after the debate.

He needs to somehow figure out how to get through the next two weeks.

And he's done that.

So almost.

It's Tuesday.

So he's got to get to Thursday, I guess.

Yeah.

If you get through two weeks, I think you're in a position where

your odds are really high.

That doesn't account for a real catastrophe publicly.

or a health issue that's more severe.

Like those things can still change the picture.

And I don't know exactly, you know, you get in unforeseen territory when you're talking about like a real, a late, late-day dropout like that.

I mean, we've obviously had people who have died in plane crashes right before elections, right?

And like they're they come up with something that happens.

Usually it's not like, well, that party just doesn't have a candidate this time.

Something happens.

But man, I mean, this would be completely unprecedented if you're doing something like that that late.

Yeah.

But your home is your castle, and it's pretty likely that your home is your most precious and valuable asset as well.

So what are you going to do to protect it?

Unlike a real castle, you can't put a moat around your home.

I've tried it.

My HOA shot it down.

They were not happy.

I mean, look, it's just a river.

There's a few alligators in it.

I don't know what the big deal is.

But if you could put a moat around your home, it's still not going to protect you from a criminal who's got the right scheme up his sleeve from finding a way to take your home away from you, or at least steal a bunch of money using your home's equity to get it.

Homes across America are being stolen every single day with a scam called home title theft.

It's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now, but also one of the least known crimes.

You don't want this happening to you or your family, which is why you need home title protection.

Well, how do you already get that?

Hey,

welcome.

It's Pat and Scoop for Glenn today, triple 8-727-BECK.

What do you make of the Parkinson's doctor's visit to the White House 10 times?

Well, Pat, first of all, he was there for annual checkups three times for the president who found nothing wrong, nothing at all.

And the other times he was there just because other military members, other military members, but we can't give any details on any of that, obviously, because of hypocrisy and privacy issues.

Exactly.

So we won't give you no details on that at all.

But that's exactly what happened.

And you should believe it for a reason.

A lot of people don't know this, but Parkinson's specialists are also really well versed in jet lag.

Oh, yeah.

Sometimes they treat jet lag on a regular basis.

Yeah, I didn't know that.

Yeah.

I didn't know that.

Again, I'm not a doctor.

Right.

That's the thing.

Okay, so this is a jet lag specialist.

Yes.

Yes.

Now,

I mean, I guess you need a specialist to determine why you have jet flag

or jet lag two weeks later.

Yeah.

That's kind of a it is an issue.

It is a medical marvel.

I'll give you that.

So

maybe he should be there.

Uh-huh.

Exactly.

All right.

Welcome to the fusion

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Ray and Stuporgear for Glenn this week.

We've got some fascinating stuff to share from the White House press conference yesterday with Corinne Jean-Pierre.

We'll get to that coming up in 60 seconds.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where your credit card balance wasn't hit with crippling compound interest?

I mean, that would be a nice world to live in.

Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.

And if you're someone who's had credit cards and you've used them a lot, chances are pretty high that you could end up in debt up to your eyeballs eventually.

I'm talking about the kind of debt that can wipe out your savings and set you back years, if not permanently.

But if you're a fiscally responsible person, you should find a little time in your day to give the mortgage consultants over at American Financing a quick call.

They're going to look over your finances.

They're going to see if there's some areas that can be improved.

You know, for instance, your mortgage can really make

work for you, right?

Like it can help you get out of high interest debt fast.

Why not utilize it?

That's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with American Financing.

As always, don't take our word for it.

Just do your own homework.

Call American Financing, talk to them.

800-906-2440.

I've done business with American Financing, had a great experience.

I think you will as well.

So the press has seemingly woken up a bit,

the White House press corps.

And I guess it was just the debate performance, because that was the first night where anything seemed unusual with Joe Biden.

Huh?

I mean, the guy's been declining for years now, and nobody's paid attention to him.

And declining from a low point.

Yeah, right.

Right?

Like, it's not like, oh, he was

incredible to begin with.

Yeah, he was bad.

I mean, remember, this is a guy who, what was it, 2008?

I think it was, when he was on, I want to say it was a bus, and they were like, and he's like, what did he say?

Theodore Roosevelt was on television.

oh yes you remember the theodore roosevelt was on television

yes i do i mean he had a hundred of those types of moments back then yeah that didn't make any sense but he was a totally different man than he is today i will admit that and if you go back to the 87 when he was fairly young in 87 he was only in his 70s in 87

uh but he had the whole plagiarism problem yeah where he he was stealing from plus he was lying about his background back then yep i I mean, the guy has lied and cheated his way through everything.

And he's never stopped lying about his background.

I mean, like, that's another good example.

Like, why did they not take more seriously the fact that he continues to make up personal stories about his life and then repeat them after he's been fact-checked?

Yeah.

However, he leads to major New York Times op-eds from the editorial board.

And you could understand it if it was just Fox News that reported on it.

But, I mean, he's been fact-checked by PolitiFact, by the Washington Post, by the New York Times.

All the liberal publications have said, no,

that's not true.

He needs to stop saying it.

Yeah, and what is

what's interesting about this is not, hey, this isn't true.

What's interesting about it is a man who looks at all these publications, who has been fact-checked by these publications, they say it's not true.

And not only does he not respond to it or justify actually what they got wrong is here, this, this, and this.

He just keeps saying it as if no one's going to notice.

Yeah.

That is an indication that he's not with it, right?

Like that is the type of thing that you should have followed up on.

It's a crazy idea.

Right.

And the Neil Kinnick thing from back in the day, the plagiarism stuff, that is something really fueling what he's doing right now.

All the reporting from behind the scenes points to that 1987 situation where he dropped out.

His family wanted him to stay in.

He decided to drop out and he considers it one of the biggest mistakes of his life.

Right.

Because he shouldn't have folded.

He could have prevented him.

He couldn't throw that out.

Yep.

He's

Biden.

When I get knocked down, I get back up again.

You're never going to keep me down.

I don't know clear back then that would have been the case.

Well, first of all, he's going to lose anyway.

Yes.

But like, I mean, he didn't have a chance of winning that race.

And probably it was not a good thing for him to

stay with it.

Probably long-term, the right move, step out.

People kind of forget about it.

And that's what happened.

He became president of the United States and vice president of the United States, right?

So

in reality, it probably was the right move, but he looked back at it as this time where he should have been tougher, he should have pushed through it and didn't.

And his kids and his family have brought this back up to him in this time.

Do you remember what happened then?

You don't need to do that.

And he's right.

I think you're right.

He doesn't need to do it.

There's no, no one can make him drop out of this race outside of himself.

I think the only person who probably could, if they took a really strong stance, is Barack Obama.

I think if Barack Obama came out and said, look,

Joe, you need to drop out.

If he said that, I think he would.

I think that would be the end.

I don't know.

Do they like each other that much?

I don't think they like each other that much.

I don't know.

But he runs the party.

But there is information that Barack Obama

And there's been pretty heavy reporting on this, that Barack Obama basically encouraged him.

Yeah, you don't really need to do this, Joe.

There's no real reason you need to run.

And he did anyway.

And he, well, initially in 2016, he didn't, but then did later.

And they apparently had talked leading up to that.

And he didn't say, don't run, Joe, you're crazy.

But he kind of gave him a very cold version of, yeah, you know, I mean, I guess you could.

You know, it was basically like, I don't know if you're the right guy for this or if this is going to work.

You remember that I think it was 2020 that Obama did not endorse him.

And he was, and Biden was asked about that.

And Biden's response was, I didn't want him to.

I didn't want him to endorse me.

Wouldn't be fair.

Right, right.

What?

It was that kind of thing.

I don't know if he said it wouldn't be fair, but he said he didn't want him to.

It was the clearest statement you could possibly get at that time.

This is a man that Barack Obama picked specifically as basically the second best guy in the nation for this job, right?

That is what you are doing when you're picking a vice president.

If I die, this person's going to take over.

The fact that he wouldn't endorse him was very telling.

And think about what we know now.

He probably saw a bunch of these moments behind the scenes.

I'll bet he did.

And he knew he wasn't ready for the president.

He was back then.

Yeah.

He probably knew that this guy should not be president of the United States.

Now, I think the only person, because I will say this, Barack Obama can stay all he wants.

If Joe Biden has a spine, he could stay in.

He could.

The only person I think really would have the, you know, the possibility of forcing him out would be Jill, who does not at all seem to want that to happen.

And even then, in theory, he could stay in.

Now, if your wife's on your case, most guys fault.

But

in theory, he's the president of the freaking United States, man.

It doesn't matter how incoherent he is.

If you want a 25th Amendment him, you can.

But he could stay on the ballot then, too.

All this can happen.

There's really no way to push him out after he's won the primary.

Yeah.

You know, if you wanted, if you wanted to do something about this, there was a path to do it.

And it was having a primary challenge and putting, you know, a Gavin Newsom or, you know, a Josh Shapiro or a candidate.

Yeah, somebody who looks younger and can actually run circles around the guy and have him run circles around him on stage.

Yeah.

And have debates and have primaries.

But I mean, think about what they did, Pat.

They started off with a sham primary process.

They changed all the rules to make it benefit.

They reordered the states that Joe Biden lost.

Remember this, like he lost all these primaries.

They just wiped them out.

They said, well, we don't want Iowa or New Hampshire anymore.

Now we're starting with the state that Joe Biden won, South Carolina.

Gee, what does that do?

It immediately says, do not challenge.

They twisted arms behind the scenes to make sure he never had a challenger.

They canceled state primaries.

They booted RFK Jr.

out of the party after, what, 50 years in it?

Yeah.

They

stole his family from him.

They stole his family from him.

Basically.

They also wouldn't give him Secret Service protection,

which put his life at risk.

They then

tried to get him thrown off the ballot in state after state when he decided to go independent.

They then tried to get Cornell West and Jill Stein thrown off the ballot in state after state.

They then

tried to get Donald Trump thrown off the ballot with some bizarre constitutional argument.

They then tried to throw Donald Trump in prison.

And now a very good chunk of the party is saying, well, I know millions of people voted for Joe Biden, but that doesn't count.

That's the party of democracy, boys and girls.

Those are the people who care about democracy.

I mean, what an insane argument to be making when you're doing all of these things.

And I have heard not one freaking word from the mainstream media questioning that series of events.

Where are you?

You don't notice that being a little weird?

The fact that his form of democracy he keeps arguing for only has his name on the ballot?

That's not democracy.

But they keep saying it over and over again, and no one

questions him on it.

Very true.

Everything they accuse Donald Trump of, they're already doing.

Of course.

And especially since the debate that all he did for 90 minutes was lie.

That's all Joe Biden did, was lie over and over and over and over again.

He lied again yesterday about the Donald Trump suckers and losers line.

Oh, God.

On the D-Day.

This is the only stuff he has on Donald Trump.

He's still doing it.

The two things.

It's the that and the

verifying people on both sides.

Right.

Which has been debunked, even by Snowden.

Snow snow.

Yep.

Said that.

And then the

fact that he, it was reported in a book, right?

And was it Kelly?

I can't remember who.

I think it it was Kelly who said

he made some joke about, you know, these are suckers and losers.

He's the guy who got killed.

And

he made some joke about that.

I think it was Kelly, his former chief of staff.

But, like, but as Trump pointed out during the debate, 19 people who were around him at the time have denied that he ever said that.

Yep.

You got one person

saying that he did say it, 19

testifying he didn't.

And like, look, even if he did say it, it's blatantly obvious it's just a stupid comment, like a joke, right?

Like, you know, Donald Trump is a wise ass.

Is it possible he said that behind the scenes?

It's not impossible.

I mean, he says he,

like, it's not impossible that anybody would say that behind the scenes.

It's not a real commentary on our military.

No one believes that.

There's no.

And he keeps trying to act as if

it was his deep.

innermost feelings about the U.S.

military.

Stupid.

Come on.

It's the same thing that he did with John McCain, right?

Like he's like,

I like people who don't get captured, right?

Like it's that same exact line.

Now, I don't know.

Maybe he said it.

I doubt it.

I kind of doubt it.

It doesn't make much sense.

It's certainly not a straight policy position.

If anything, it's a little bit of a, you know, tasteless joke.

I don't know.

Is Donald Trump known for tasteless jokes?

It's a tough one.

People have already priced that in.

The fact that that is their argument, like he brought that one up.

He's brought the very fine people on both sides, which again has been debunked.

I mean, I've done shows on it.

You've done shows on it.

Glenn's done shows on it.

And even Stopes has done an entire post on this.

He did not say that the Nazis were very fine people.

That's not what he said.

He specifically singled them out as not fine people.

He specifically, and like there's this level of denial that there's no violence on the left side of these protests.

And like you can go through, look at the country, not just at that one protest, but just generally speaking across the country, we have seen violent protests from the left constantly.

The Antifas of the world are, you might think they're not that big of a deal, but they're burning down cities and breaking windows in their little black hoods over and over and over again across the country and have been doing it for years.

This is not made up.

Everybody knows.

And then, of course, after this, you get into the George Floyd period and all these other things where it's really obvious that what's going on.

But at the end of the day, like everyone knows that there are violent people on both sides, obviously largely on the left though.

It's been more on the left.

The Charlottesville situation was an exception to that.

And at some level, I don't at all own the people who did the Charlottesville thing as members of the right.

They have

no consistency policy-wise with anything that I believe.

Go through the alt-right view of the world, the I want universal health care.

I want the conservative view.

Pro-abortion.

Yeah.

Right.

No.

There's all sorts of elements of that that have nothing to do with conservatism.

They sound much more like liberals to me.

Or if you want to go back to,

you know, European

national socialism is what they sound like.

These are people who might be on the right side of the European scale, but are way to the left of the American right.

These are all things you probably know by now.

I don't know.

But it's just fascinating to watch the manipulation of the facts.

They don't care about telling you the truth.

They don't care.

They want you to believe lies.

And if you believe lies, then you might vote for their guy.

If you believe that this guy's real, oh, actually, he's better than he's ever been.

He's not only cogent,

he's better than he's ever been.

If you're going to believe stuff like that, you're dumb.

They know you're dumb.

They can say anything to you because you're an idiot.

If you believe that nonsense, you're so stupid.

You can also believe that bidenomics works.

You can also believe that he's this amazing president for three and a half years and just this one bad day has derailed it.

It's all nonsense.

Triple 8727 B E C K.

More coming up in one minute.

Next time you're standing somewhere in your home, do something, have a look around and think to yourself, if I wanted to put this home on the market, what would I need to do to get it ready?

It's a big question.

And a lot of times the answer is your initial answer when you're having that conversation with yourself is wrong.

You probably don't have to redo all the rooms so they look perfect.

Actually, leave it for someone else to do that work.

They're going to want to design it their own way.

A real estate agent that you can trust can help you through these decisions because that agent's going to know the people that he or she trusts to get all those things done, if you have to get them done, and then maybe talk you out of them.

That might be the best decision.

You save thousands of dollars.

They'll just talk you out of those decisions.

Glenn believes in this so much because he's seen the difference between what a good and bad real estate agent can do.

10-second station ID.

All right, so

we started this discussion with the press and how they've just woken up to the fact that Joe Biden may not be

in peak physical and mental condition.

It's pretty amazing, but KJP was asked if Joe Biden had a script when he called in to MSNBC and the Joe and Mika Cup of Postum show yesterday.

During the call today to MSNBC, was the president reading off of a script?

So I was in the room when the president called into Morning Joe.

The president spoke from his heart.

The president was very clear.

There was no script at all.

And

it was very detailed.

You heard him say actually during the call that he was reading some quotes.

He said it.

He shared that information.

He was reading some quotes from the debate.

That's right.

So he shared that with you.

What you heard was a passionate interview.

Oh my gosh.

18 minutes.

18 minutes.

He talked about and laid out his vision for this country.

Laid it out.

He talked about how he wants to make sure we move forward.

I want to be really careful because he also talked about the campaign, which I can't do from here.

But he, please, he,

you know, I think it was incredibly powerful.

Oh, me too.

Incredibly powerful.

Incredibly powerful.

Again, these people think you're idiots.

Anyone who are

incredibly powerful.

Come

on.

By the way, she works for you, America.

This is, she doesn't work for Joe Biden.

You pay her.

Her job is to communicate what is going on in the White House.

You only pay her $175,000 a year, though.

So that's the good part.

That's the good news.

And I don't know.

Somehow she's still able to afford different outfits of high-level designer quality every single day.

Never had a repeat.

All these years, never had one repeat, which is really strange and interesting.

We have a full investigation of that up on youtube.com slash Stew DoesAmerica in the comedy bits section.

You should check it out out because it's it's worth it yeah but uh i will say it's a fascinating development when you're making 175 000 good money not enough money to dress like she dresses i'll say that i you know what's going on there that job also includes a wardrobe i've you know you know i've done i will say this i have talked to people who have worked in the white house in the white house communications department that job does not have a wardrobe budget really it does not now wow she could be renting all these clothes that the best The best actual description I've come up with is that it's actually Hillary, our own Hillary Kennedy,

who was talking about how a lot of people in the media will go through

what is it called?

Like

rent the runway type of situation, where there's a bunch of those types of services where you can go and you pay a fee, a monthly fee, and you can rent a certain amount of outfits.

Now, she's just got so many of them.

I don't know if...

But maybe like they loosen the rules for her, or maybe she's got some other high-end one we don't know about.

It's possible that's what's going on.

There's no way she could purchase the amount of clothing that she purchased.

I mean, even

anchors for, you know,

Fox News don't,

they don't spend their own money on their wardrobes.

You know, there are.

Yeah, a lot of them don't.

Many of them don't.

But usually this is a public service job.

This is not a money allowance.

But yes, the White House, the press secretary shouldn't.

Right.

I mean, and it shows so, you know, what I do with my life, the fact that I legitimately have talked to multiple people who've worked inside the White House about this question.

And they basically were like, you never get away with that.

Wow.

It's just too much of a political issue.

Now, if we find out that this has actually happened with Corinne John Vier, it'll be fascinating to see.

But they swore up and down.

Swore up and down.

That can't happen.

That can't happen.

It's because all this stuff is public.

Yeah.

They said there's a possibility that the Democratic National Committee could pay for it, like as an outside source.

Essentially,

I mean, yeah, I guess it would be theoretically legal.

Because then you're talking campaign funds, right?

I mean, that's how she talks about this.

You just talked about it.

I can't talk about the campaign from here.

So they said it was possible, but unlikely, highly unlikely, because you could probably massage that in their financial statements as something that wouldn't be picked up.

But I guess, you know, they're just worried about the optics of it.

Like, you know, wait, you're paying $175,000, but paying $300,000 for clothing budgets.

It just doesn't seem possible.

It doesn't.

No.

All right, there's much more on this.

The press gets a little frisky with her.

Yeah, coming up.

Glenn back.

Weather's warming up, and I can't wait to get to the ranch this summer to paint, to roam, cool summer nights with my family, being out by the campfire.

I remember when I couldn't do a lot of these things because the altitude created a constant, unbearable pain for me.

My wife Tanya insisted that I tried Relief Factor.

I didn't think it would work for me.

It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement.

It's supposed to help your body fight pain naturally.

I mean, I went to the best doctors in the world and they couldn't help me.

I didn't think this would work.

Relief Factory uses a unique formula of natural ingredients.

It doesn't just mask the pain.

It reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body.

Wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joint, muscles, in three weeks or less, less, you will start to feel the difference all day, every day.

I've been taking Relief Factor for years now, and it has truly changed my life.

ReliefFactor.com, 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief.

Save on your first order.

800, the number four relief, relieffactor.com.

As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity, we're helping you fight back one truth at a time.

More Glenn Beck next.

Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

Been talking about the

White House press conference yesterday involving KJP

and a press corps that's actually asking some questions for a change.

I mean, some difficult questions and kind of sticking with it and following up a little bit.

And it got a little bit heated.

Here is KJP feeling the heat just a bit from the press.

We provide to all of them.

That's a very basic direct question.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on, wait, wait.

Wait.

Wait a second.

Eight times, or at least once, in regards to

president specifically.

Hold on a second.

I thought you should be able to answer by this point.

Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, wait a minute.

Ed, please.

A little respect here.

Please.

So

every year

around

the president's physical examination, he sees a neurologist.

That's three times, right?

So I am telling you that he has seen a neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency.

That's what I'm saying.

I am telling you that he has seen them three times.

That is what I'm sharing with you.

Was he examined by him?

So every time he has a physical, he has had to see a neurologist.

So

that is answering that question.

No, it's not.

No, it is.

It is.

You're asking.

But I just, I also said to you,

Ed, I also said to you, for security reasons, we cannot share names.

We cannot share names.

We have to.

We can share names in regards to if someone came here in regards to specifics.

We cannot share names of specialists broadly.

from a dermatologist to a neurologist.

We cannot share names.

There are security reasons.

We have to protect.

I understand that.

I am

here.

Right there for anyone to see.

Ed, I hear you.

I cannot from here confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy.

I think they would appreciate that too.

We have to give them

a double-decker.

Nobody wants you to know that they're treating the President of the United States.

Please keep that quiet.

I don't want anybody to to know that I'm the neurologist for the President of the United States.

Who wants that kept secret?

Come on.

Do you buy that they can't say the name of a specialist?

Can you say the name of his normal doctor?

Yeah, because they have multiple times.

I don't know if she said it from the podium, but we know who his main physician is.

I bet she has said it from the podium.

I bet she has.

Of course.

What do you mean you can't say the name of a specialist from that position?

It's insanity.

I mean, it's this.

We were just talking about this.

You have to be an idiot to believe these excuses.

Obviously, she can say the name.

She can't necessarily say, well, actually,

he was here to see this person, right?

Like, that is a line that you might not say.

Because of HIPAA laws.

Because of HIPAA laws.

However, in this particular circumstance,

what any competent individual would do if her version of events were accurate was she would go to the person and say, hey, Bob,

they all think that he's got Parkinson's.

We need to, can we please say this?

And I assume Bob or whoever it is would say, of course, just to say, you know, say they were visiting me or say, you know, or give me, you know, give a description of my title or whatever, you know, whatever it is.

There's no reason they need to protect that, especially in this situation with people that supposedly want this president to succeed.

I mean, if it was true, and I don't know, I don't know that he's Parkinson's.

We don't know that.

He might.

It would explain a lot of his behavior.

And I've had relatives who have Parkinson's.

It's pretty consistent with what I've seen and what I think most people who have had family members in that situation have seen.

That doesn't mean he has it.

It probably, what it probably means is they thought it was a real possibility.

Whether it wound up being true or it wound up being something else, they probably were like, crap, is this Parkinson's?

We should check this out.

Let's bring in the best expert we can find.

That's probably what happened here.

If they had a good answer, like, you know, I was thinking when it first broke, like,

maybe they were forming a policy on Parkinson's, right?

Like, maybe they were bringing him in to advise on policy.

That would be a very easy explanation.

And again, any competent press secretary would have thought of it.

The fact that she didn't shows she shouldn't be employed.

But I mean, that's a pretty, like, hey, we were working on the policy.

It had to do with Obamacare or whatever.

We were were thinking about tweaking this and that.

And we needed someone who really knew what this was because we're talking about coverage for millions of Americans suffering with something terrible.

Like, that would have been a plausible excuse.

It's, of course, not what they did.

Because, you know, number one, it would have been a lie.

That does not mean anything to Corinne Jumpier, who lies for a living poorly.

But they could have come up with something.

They just didn't.

The idea that they can't say the thing that they themselves released in the visitor logs is so inherently ridiculous that any moron listening to it would know immediately it was a lie.

And of course it is.

Yes.

It's an obvious lie, but they think

they can just pull the wool over our eyes on all of these issues.

But she was asked if Biden will take a cognitive test.

There have been a number of people who have said, listen, you know, why don't you have a cognitive test just to rule out that there are any issues?

Would the president, you know, do you, you know, would you counsel him to do that just to sort of put an end to those questions?

I hear you.

The neurologists have said it is not warranted.

The president himself, he said it today, he said it multiple times.

And the doctor has said this.

Absolutely.

Everything that he does day in and day out as it relates to delivering for the American people is a cognitive test.

no uh and

that is what what are we stupid the medical doctor has said uh that is what the special has said geez why why wouldn't you just put this to bed if the guy's fine just put it to rest and say you know what yes we'll take a cognitive test we'll release it to the public it'll be out by next week and you'll see easy peasy so easy if if the guy's fine that's what you do just to put them into ease because you want these people to vote for you and they're doubting you right now.

There's no reason not to unless you have a cognitive problem.

Right.

The answer to all of this is they have more information than we do.

They know what he's actually like behind the scenes and it's probably debate night every night.

You know, I mean, think about it.

There's no doubt about that.

In my mind, there's no doubt of that.

No doubt about it.

I mean, there's a reason why they're not scheduling him at things late at night.

There's a reason why they protected him 10 to 4 with an afternoon nap.

I mean, there's a lot of that going on.

I will say,

when you kind of look at

where he is and how far he's fallen and how embarrassing and awful this has been to watch, you think about what they have seen behind the scenes.

Oh, it's got to be bad.

The one that I keep coming back to is they are

risking a constitutional crisis by claiming executive privilege to hide the Robert Her interview audio.

There's no reason we supposedly have the accurate transcript of it, supposedly,

but like

why would you, why would you try so hard to make sure people can't hear that?

Why would you do that?

Because it was so bad it would end his presidency.

It was horrific.

Yeah, it must be.

It must make the debate look good.

And

how many examples of that are not on tape that we don't know about?

How many times do they walk in there with a sandwich and he doesn't know what to do with it?

Like, we have no freaking idea what's going on behind the scenes.

Yeah, I know.

When we have evidence like this, security secretary,

I'm not sure.

She knows so long as it was denied, our freedom can never be secured.

After I signed the PAC and PAC Atlack Act into a Pac-Padillac Act?

The Pac-Pad Lack.

Padilla,

that's the Billy Joel Act.

Heart attack, act, act, act.

act.

Yeah, yeah.

It's moving out.

It's moving out.

He's just singing the song.

It's part of the moving out clause of the Constitution.

I mean, the guy can't even get

the blood of liberty.

How much you hear this phrase?

Uh-huh.

The blood of liberty.

Well, never until then.

The blood of liberty.

How much have you heard of this phrase?

The blood of Patriots.

The blood of liberty.

Never.

Wash it, though.

Give me a break.

The blood of liberty.

Wash it, though.

Wash it though.

Give me a break.

I mean, a lot of people say the blood of liberty, wash it, though.

That's a huge, you don't know.

You're not on TikTok, Pat.

I think it's big on TikTok.

That's true.

Okay.

Pretty sure that one's big on TikTok.

I'll have to look it up.

All right.

I'll take your word for it.

It's just embarrassing.

It is.

And these are the examples that we have where he's been in public saying these kinds of things.

In private,

outside the window where he's not, you know,

at the peak of his performance, I can't even imagine how bad it gets.

I can't even imagine.

And as stiff as he is walking around, you know, with all the symptoms that he displays in public, in private, at 8 o'clock at night, it's got to be, it's got to be really, really bad.

We would be shocked and horrified that he's the president of the United States if we had the opportunity to see it.

And the American people would just demand the 25th Amendment be invoked.

They demand it.

That being said, I hope he stays in the race.

Yeah, I know.

He still could.

Like you've mentioned before, he could stay in the race.

Yeah, even for the 25th amendment, which

probably unlikely, but he could theoretically stay in the race because that is an amendment that technically sort of goes after a temporary, like it's, you know, a temporary leave, right?

Like if someone gets like shot and they're in a coma for a day or two and they come out of it, like that's when you're utilizing that type of thing.

You need to have a named,

you know, you need to have someone who's actually doing the job, right?

Yeah.

By the way, new poll out of Wisconsin.

This is an AARP poll.

Okay.

Taken after the bait.

Wisconsin, Trump 44, Biden 38, RFK Jr.

9, a six-point lead in Wisconsin.

Wow.

These are catastrophic polls.

By the way, same poll, the Democrat leads in the Senate by five.

Isn't that interesting?

So the Democratic senator is outperforming the president of the United States by 11 freaking points.

By a lot.

By a lot.

By 11 freaking points, yeah.

In Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin.

And again,

the poll before this,

I think Biden was up, wasn't he, in that poll?

Yeah, in Wisconsin.

If you look at the average, it's very close.

Is it?

Yeah, I mean, you can always find a poll that kind of tells one story or another.

This might be an outlier.

I don't know.

I think that the polling so far has told a story of a drop-off since the debate, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I mean, it's about an

average change for a debate, a post-debate polling cycle if there's a clear winner, which is not catastrophic.

Like, Barack Obama came back and won against Mitt Romney after that first debate.

Ronald Reagan came back and won.

He supposedly lost by, I mean, 40-point margin.

Most people thought he lost big.

He did.

And he came back and won that election.

And Ronald Reagan did.

You know, like,

it's pretty, it's not out of the ordinary that that stuff happens, though.

This was, I think, the worst debate performance in the history of our country.

So that is something notable.

It might be worse.

But the polling.

The polling should be,

he should be down to 10.

He should be down to 10%.

That seems at least.

There's always going to be people.

Like, I brought up this.

Someone said to me, like, how can anyone vote for Joe Biden after this?

And I said, like, let's reverse the situation here for a second.

Let's say Joe Biden had a great debate and he just smoked it.

And Donald Trump came out there like a bumbling fool and really made an ass of himself.

You voting for Joe Biden?

No.

No.

You're probably not, right?

Like you're probably sticking with who you have because you know, even if he gets in there and he is a bumbling fool, the people around him probably hold generally conservative positions.

And generally speaking, it's going to be better than the alternative.

That's what you're seeing with Democrats right now.

They all know he shouldn't be president.

But like their view of this is, okay, well, the other guy we know is terrible.

I've seen some good policies I've liked over the past few years.

Of course he's not, she should not be president of the United States, but what else did we do?

Go with Donald Trump?

You know, quote unquote, waste my vote on a third party candidate?

Like, that's what people look at.

And I think most people in the audience who are Trump supporters, really, no matter what Trump did on a debate, are still going to vote for the guy because you're not going to, you want the other guy to win.

Yeah.

So I do understand where some of those people are coming from, honestly.

But, of course, This should have just been decided months ago.

They should have had a primary and replaced him with somebody who is competent.

Everybody, they just sat in this state of denial for four years and then acted like, well, that decision should work out well in the end.

Well, typically doesn't.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn this week.

Noticed it's a little bit warm where you are?

Is that possible?

What was it?

120 in Las Vegas?

124, I think, in Palm Springs.

I think they're setting some records in the West.

Here's the thing, though.

It's summertime.

What?

Yeah, it's summer.

So that means global warming.

No, that means it gets hot from time to time.

That's kind of what that means.

Yeah.

In the northern hemisphere, what happens is the tilt of the earth lends itself to being a little bit warmer during that specific time, and then it'll cool off in something called

autumn and

winter.

So you're talking about

the SUVs, which are.

No, actually, no.

I'm talking about something called the sun.

Yeah,

it's directly bearing down on us.

And in Texas, it's about three miles from the surface of Texas.

You're talking about that flaming orb in the sky?

Yeah, the 2 million degree flaming orb

in the the sky.

Well, how would a two-million-degree flaming orb keep the be responsible for warming?

That doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't, does it?

We're going to have to talk about this off the air because I just don't understand it.

Right.

It's just too complicated.

We'll work together on that and see if we can come up with it's our air conditioning, though, right?

That's the problem.

The air conditioning is causing the warming

because of the emissions.

There you go.

Got it.

Okay.

Right.

Well, something's certainly happening with the media lately.

Some in the media are waking up to the fact that Joe Biden may not be the smartest choice for the upcoming election.

We'll get into that and lots more coming up in one minute.

Well, remember when hardworking, God-fearing, family-oriented people living in this country shared a little something called American values?

When the very very idea of contributing to companies that promoted leftist and socialist and communist ideals was ridiculous?

Well, those times seem to be behind us now, but they could be in front of us again, especially with companies like Patriot Mobile, who are on the front lines of protecting those American values for the next generation.

Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative Christian mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

Every day, they're involved at all levels and trying to do just that.

All right, before we get to Jake Tapper here and what he had to say about Biden yesterday,

Have you seen this particular statistic that according to the European Climate Service, Copernicus, for the past 13 months, the global temperature has been 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than pre-industrial times.

Have you seen that statistic?

2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than pre-industrial.

2.7.

So

I mean, again, I guess I suppose when you're...

Do they give a date on the pre-industrial period?

because I mean basically the the way this is I mean it was very cold before what like the 1700s were were pretty cold yeah if you go way way back you can probably find that to be true I mean they would say it's about a degree Celsius over the past century

so according to this article it's one and a half degrees Celsius critical marker as the number

which is a matter of what you're measuring from right I mean that's that's the case like they've been using a century as a benchmark for a long time the problem with that is there was a warming period in the 30s, and they're about to have to run away from that.

They're going to have to go to pre-industrial period instead of the last hundred years.

Well, they keep revising the 30s temperatures, though.

No, it's true.

They revise them down so that it looks like it's much hotter now than it was back then.

How are you revising the temperatures that already happened and have been recorded?

Well, new science has brought new information.

Way more accurate.

Way more accurate.

100 years later than it was at the time now you understand

you acted like you didn't understand but you understood you understood the whole time i got it this is like the ultimate um

mr fix it for every problem you have as a as a leftist right you just

global warming will fix any of your problems if you want redistribution of wealth, well, global warming can get you there, right?

Like any major policy outcome that you want, you can get from global warming.

If you want agencies to determine rules rules and regulations on everyone so you don't have to pass laws anymore, well, global warming can get you there.

And like, it's easy to say, oh, well, there's an oil spill.

And an oil spill means that we have to have a new regulation on that area where the oil spill was.

But you can't make the argument that it affects everyone and you have to overwhelm every state law and every federal law.

When you have an invisible gas that can float anywhere, All of a sudden you have that opportunity.

If you have a gas that's going to heat everyone's temperature and ruin everyone's lives, lives in the future, you can't necessarily prove it now, but in the future,

it catches everything you could possibly want.

And that's what makes it such a valuable tool for Democrats, though it's been largely a failure so far.

I mean, they've tried to do these things, but largely it hasn't worked.

Most people don't see it as a high priority.

According to Copernicus, this is the first time I've heard of Copernicus, I believe, but June was the third hottest month ever.

That's not incredibly impressive to me.

It's only the third hottest month ever.

Okay,

as fast as the temperature is supposedly rising and that it keeps getting worse and worse every year, and every year is hotter than the last one,

shouldn't it be breaking records?

Shouldn't it be the hottest month ever?

Seems like it should be by now.

But this dates back to 1940.

So you're, again, eliminating the 1930s from that calculation, which they have to do in order to make global warming as dire as they try to make it.

Yeah, I mean, we have these periods.

This is not out of the ordinary.

Right.

But it is, you know, it is, you know,

a warmer period.

And like, that's not, people talk about this, like, well, the, the, but that's a good thing.

You grow food when it's warmer.

I mean, during the

mini ice age, whatever they call the 16 and 1700s, they grew less food and people starved to death

and they didn't have enough to eat.

We do now because it's warmer and more food grows.

Now, if it gets, you know, much hotter than it is now, you don't want the temperature rising three or four degrees Fahrenheit.

But

right now,

it is not catastrophic as they're trying to make it out to be.

No, I mean, and of course, cold is a much worse thing for humans, right?

Cold, the number I think is 25 times.

25 times as many people die of cold than they do of extreme heat.

That kind of makes sense, right?

Yeah, sort of obvious, right?

Like, it's just what you know about the world.

Like, heat can be annoying.

We live in Texas.

It's really, really hot here sometimes.

If you, you know, sit yourself in a car for many, many hours, you'll probably die.

There are different things that can happen to you in the heat.

But generally speaking,

the cold is really kind of more of the problem.

More, far more people die because of cold.

Because they freeze to death.

That doesn't tell the entire story, but it's really important.

It's like a really important part of the story.

And it's not even close to true.

And of course, when you talk about like climate-related deaths, these are down

over 99% over the past century.

Just 99%?

Yeah.

It's not 100%.

They're not down on that.

There are still some people that theoretically die from climate-related deaths.

But we've made massive, massive 99%.

That's incredible.

It's over 99 now.

But

especially when you do the ratios of it, like the per capita number is down over 99%.

I think the actual number is around 99 for in real numbers.

And then if you do per capita, it's over 99%.

Those numbers should be.

I mean, I think of it this way.

If there is one

number

you should know about climate change, it's that one.

You can talk about all the other things in the world, whether it's getting warmer, colder, how many people die from this, from that, all these things that can happen in the future.

The one thing you should know is what has been the change in climate-related deaths over the century that you have said the earth is warm so much and has this has become such a problem.

And it is that number, while not a controversial number, it's not like there's like, well, actually, it's gone up.

No one says that.

It is a number that is agreed upon.

Okay, this is not a controversial number.

It has never

been in a UN IPCC report.

I believe it.

Never been included.

The actual number of people who died from the thing you're warning about has never been included in the UN IPCC report.

Why?

That's incredible.

Because it doesn't help their cause.

It doesn't help their cause.

It's not part of the agenda.

What is part of their, they'll just say, because

they get

much more publicity.

They'll talk about tornadoes.

They'll talk about hurricanes, which, by the way, aren't up.

Neither one of those are happening more frequently than they ever have.

No, I mean, in fact, one of the things they tried to do a long time ago, this has pretty much been abandoned now by the left, but they try to say tornadoes were up by massive percentages.

I believe I want to say an inconvenient,

what was it, Inconvenient Truth?

I got confused with Glenn's Inconvenient Book, but Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's book, I believe, claimed this.

If it wasn't that, it was a documentary around the same time.

I can't remember which one it was.

But claimed that, you know, the big problem was tornadoes are up, you know, a zillion, quadrillion, million percent.

And, of course, when you look into those numbers, what you find is that we just are better at detecting the lower scale tornadoes now.

We now have detection equipment that sees all the F1 tornadoes and F2 tornadoes that we didn't necessarily see.

Like if it hit your house, you'd notice it

back in 1900.

When it was out in a field and no one was around, it wasn't picked up.

When you go through the

details of the higher, the F4, F5 tornadoes, we've seen no increase.

In fact, a slight decrease over time as to how many that we've had.

And of course, those are the ones that you'd actually notice right back in the day.

So you could, it's much more easily comparable.

This has been something that has gone on for a long time.

And look, it's such a catch-all.

It's too important for them to abandon.

Because if you abandon global warming, you abandon a pathway to every single thing you want,

including centralized control, right?

Like if everyone's going to die because of what Texas does with their SUVs, we can't let Texas do anything anymore by themselves.

We have to control what Texas does.

Us in Washington, we need to make these important decisions.

And it leads you to be able to control everything.

So abandoning it is not something you can do.

And they're not going to.

And they want to spend the 100 trillion or whatever number is currently in mind to fix the problem because

that also helps them maintain control.

And that's what they seek.

While we're here, Pat, talking about global warming, we should mention one of the leading climate skeptics in the Senate for many, many years, Jim Inhoff, a senator, former senator from Oklahoma, has passed away today.

Now,

we had him on the show many times.

He was a guy who fought for

the ability for people to make their own decisions on these things.

He was a friend to

energy resources that were

under our ground and

was a friend to fossil fuels, and people vilified him for that.

But he believed it was a path to freedom and cheaper energy, and that really is the path to civilization.

Because without it, your civilization kind of goes away.

So

he was a big climate change skeptic.

And of course, the media is trashing him.

I mean, this is the headline from Politico of his death.

Former Senator Jim Inhoff, who called climate change a hoax, dead at 89.

Oh, my gosh.

I mean, this is also a man whose charitable outreach was incredible.

This guy worked with people across the globe to save children.

I mean,

he's been on the show.

He's talked about some of the charity work he's done, really only when he was asked.

There was never a guy who was bragging about it,

but did a lot of really great things.

And look, you might not love all of his policies.

If you're a Democrat, I get that.

But there's no reason to treat him like this as he passes away from a stroke right away on July 4th.

Well,

they've made being a skeptic on climate change akin to denying the Holocaust.

And so if you ever have any problem with the prevailing theory on climate change, you're a kook, you're a nut, and you need to be degraded.

And that's what they do to everybody.

It's despicable.

It really is despicable.

All right.

We never get to the audio prototype.

We apologize.

All right.

I want you to imagine someone, you know, maybe I've just given you a car.

What do you do with that?

First of all, you say, I hope it's an electric car to protect us from global warming.

But if I give you, you know, a nice Bugatti, all right,

you get behind the wheel and I hand you the keys and you smell the new leather.

And is there one thing, you know, one little thing, no big deal or anything, but that Bugatti, well, it doesn't have, you know, an engine.

Is that a problem for you?

Well, good luck with that because it's going to roll around very nicely.

Station ID.

You know, Jake Tapper, not a big,

most people on the right, not a big fan of Jake Tapper.

Although I thought he was fairly

a pretty good journalist before,

say, Donald Trump.

During the Obama era, he was

probably the shining star of the mainstream media brigade.

Treated both sides

About the same.

He was the first guy who highlighted the Obama jobs chart.

Remember, he was saying, oh, we've recovered so quickly.

And he was the first person I ever saw who highlighted how slowly that recovery was going and how it compared to past recoveries.

That was a huge thing leading into 2012 that almost got him kicked out of office, honestly.

And that was Jake Tapper who initially pointed to that.

So he's not, I mean, he does not like Donald Trump.

That is clear.

No, that's the thing.

And that has, you know, tainted him a bit.

Especially for, you know, huge because it tainted his coverage.

Yeah, it has.

I think it's true.

Yeah.

I think of him, Pat, as a good example of what people call Trump derangement syndrome.

Yes.

Because usually the way people use that is he's just the guy on the left, person who hates, but like if the person hated George W.

Bush and John McCain and

Bob Dole and Mitt Romney all equally, that's not Trump derangement syndrome.

That's just I don't like Republicans.

Right.

That's not the case, I don't think, with Tapper.

Yeah, Tapper singularly really doesn't like Donald Trump, I would say.

That would be my take on it.

Yes, mine too.

So just to give you an idea, that, I mean, he does seem to be

somewhat

reasonable on certain things.

Here he is talking about Joe Biden since the debate and especially his radio interview that he did the other day.

Before the president did that, he called into a couple of black radio stations where he said, among other things, this

By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, served with the black president.

I'm proud to have the first black woman in the Supreme Court.

There's just so much that we can do because together we, there's nothing, look, this is the United States of America

right the first he's proud to be the the first black woman

not coherent no and even then that's right we later found out later from the radio host that the Biden campaign had given her a list of questions to ask President Biden right that is a huge no-no in journalism and the host was fired for it but it remains quite telling that in the Biden campaign's efforts to show that the president has not missed a step, his campaign felt the need to feed questions to the hosts for a call-in radio interview.

And the president still, even then, failed to deliver in many of his answers.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's pretty damning.

No, I know.

It's true.

It's really damning.

Yeah.

I mean, he actually specifically singled out the I am the first

vice president black woman thing.

Yeah.

Which again would not have been highlighted at any date previous to June 27th, 2024.

Right.

It would never, like, we would have pointed it out.

We would have laughed about it.

We would have noted it.

But nobody knows it.

No one in the mainstream media.

Nobody.

In the same article in the New York Times that highlighted, again, the New York Times also highlighted that exact same clip.

In the same clip, I may have mentioned this yesterday.

Amazing, really.

They also mentioned that he,

like, another gaffe from Biden when he was trying to prove how sane he was, was that he called Donald Trump a colleague.

Right.

Yeah.

Is that a gaffe?

I mean, they're both politicians.

I mean, they're supposedly

a weird word to use, but

would we, my question is, would we have even pulled the audio of that?

No.

It's not even

public.

I don't think it's in the top 1,000.

I didn't pull it.

I didn't.

I don't think it's in the top thousand things he's screwed up

since he's been in office.

And the New York Times is highlighting it.

What?

It's amazing.

It's amazing.

They have completely turned on this guy.

And I don't know.

As I mentioned today, the first time since the debate, the New York Times has a story that leads their coverage that is not related to getting Joe Biden out of office, at least out of the campaign.

It's about Russia today.

And that is, I think, a significant thing.

Now, look, there are still stories about people trying to get him out.

There are still people trying to gather signatures for letters.

Maybe they come out with 30 people from the House that say that they signed this letter.

I don't know.

There was an op-ed again from the New York Times yesterday.

The Democratic Party must speak the plain truth to the president.

They're still trying to go down this road.

There was a big Wall Street Journal report how Biden's inner circle worked to keep signs of aging under wraps.

I mean, they're still going after this, they're still putting all of their resources into it.

But you wonder, has he pushed this off enough that without another cataclysmic

he might be able to survive this?

I think he has.

Which is fascinating.

And I think good good for the nation.

Because he's very beatable.

You know, he's very, very beatable.

And you don't want to change this dynamic if you can help it.

Although I will say, the Democratic Party has nobody on the bench who's really formidable.

You know?

Glenn Beck.

A beach trip, turned car breakdown is a drag, man.

You and your family jamming to the tunes, feeling the groove, then bam, your car's dead.

Pat and Stu for Glenn this week, 888 727, B E C K.

Stu, I understand that

you've been showing your daughter Star Wars.

Is this the first time your daughter's ever seen any of the Star Wars movies?

That's right.

My daughter Ainsen.

Has Zach ever seen?

We were watching them together.

Now, when we watched the first one, and no, he's never seen them either.

We were watching the first one, which is really the fourth one, A New Hope.

Yeah.

Okay.

And we saw that.

The one from 1977.

And he was sick, so he was like fading fast.

It was sort of late at night, and he only made it like halfway through.

You know, it's been a long time since I watched A New Hope.

First, like, 45 minutes, a little slow.

Like, not a lot going on, really, in the first 45 minutes or so.

Doesn't Dart Vader appear in the first 45 minutes?

I mean, he busts through the door, and there's you get that one scene.

Yeah, there's that one scene at the very beginning, and then it goes to

Luke's wondering what his career options are for about 40 minutes.

There's not a lot going on there, like it's pretty slow, and he was fading anyway.

So, he sort of started it, and then I wound up watching it with my daughter, and then she got really into it.

So, now we've watched the first trilogy.

Okay.

We've got made through the first trilogy.

So A New Hope.

Empire Strikes Back.

Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi.

Her favorite so far, Empire Strikes Back.

Mine too.

Mine too.

It's my favorite of the entire series.

Oh, by far.

It's one of the great.

I mean, it's just so good.

That one holds up completely.

Sure does.

I will say I was never a big Return of the Jedi fan.

Yeah, I remember that.

I just, I, and I watched it again with like, hey, I'm open mind with my daughter.

And like, and she, you know, did she like the Ewoks?

Sure.

She liked them a lot more than I did when I was a kid, yeah, and than I do now.

But, like, again, it's not a, it's not great.

It's really not.

I think people remember it more fondly because it was part of that original trilogy.

And obviously, there's some really like see, but I was like 21 by the time the Ewoks showed up.

Yeah.

So I was not a big fan of the Ewoks either.

I mean, that's a good chunk of the movie.

It's like the bunch of little teddy bears running around on this planet.

Right.

It's not, that wasn't my cup of tea.

Right.

She loved it.

She loved it.

But there was enough.

And it was so cool that Luke was now powerful.

That's what got me through that.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true.

And I will say, like, of the three, to me, it's clearly the weakest, but it's not the weakest of the series by any means.

We get to that later on.

I did have a thought of, should I show these to her in chronological order?

Like, do we start with the prequels?

Yeah, no.

I don't think she'd even understand it.

So we decided not to do that.

But she's really loving it.

She's totally in.

I mean, she wanted to

keep going even when it was late at night.

And it's fascinating to see how I do through them again because I realized, first of all, I love this series.

For 40 years, I've loved this series watching it.

And you realize how much they've ruined it.

They've ruined it completely.

To the extent now that Pat, I won't watch any of the new stuff.

I'm done.

They've lost me completely.

You haven't watched like Acolyte.

Nope.

At all.

No.

I mean, I think there's now two full series I haven't watched any of.

Wasn't there another one after Mandalorian or something else in there?

Yeah, there's been several i think since then there was uh there was a um

obi-wan kenobi yep didn't watch any of that didn't watch any of that nope and and then was there another one i think there was another one i didn't watch that and i only i didn't there was the uh you know the bounty hunter what's his face oh yeah right um boba fett yes boba fett i don't remember what that was called because i

didn't really get into that either right and i didn't even get now the latest one they just

really put the the finishing touches on ruining it forever for so many Star Wars fans.

I mean, here's one of the greatest franchises in the history of film.

And everybody wants to love it.

Everybody wants to love whatever it is you're putting out.

It's pretty hard to wreck it, and yet they managed it.

It's really sad, really sad what Disney has done with it since buying it from Lucas, but Lucas ruined it too with the prequels.

So yeah.

I mean, it's in part his fault as well.

It's, yeah, it's been ruined over and over again.

It's, and I, what really shook me from the entire series was the Gina Carano thing, like where, like, Mandalorian, I was, I was, I was grinding my way through it.

I didn't love it.

I didn't think it was great.

I thought it was, it was okay.

But I felt like I was watching it more like it was my job.

Like, I don't know if for some reason I feel required to watch everything that Star Wars released.

Again, you want to love it.

I keep thinking I'm going to love it.

And then I never love it.

And it's true even with the movies.

You go back and you say, okay, well, the first three were great, right?

Really, two of the three, I think, were great.

Return of the Jedi was good.

It had its moments.

True.

The prequels had moments, I think, but were like generally pretty bad.

The fight scenes were good.

The fight scenes were good.

Yeah,

there was a lot of cool scenes in it, but generally speaking, as a trilogy, everyone knows they're terrible.

And then

the last

three.

I actually am a defender of episode seven, which I thought was basically just a remake of the original episode four.

However, I actually kind of liked it and thought it was fine.

After that, it gets really bad.

Eight and nine were terrible.

I just, I never married the new characters.

I know a lot of people did.

They were okay.

You know, it was okay.

It wasn't like Luke and Laura and Han Solo and all of that to me.

And then the eighth one was terrible.

Absolutely atrocious.

When you've got Luke whining and crying and I'm scared, I'm afraid, and I can't leave the planet.

Don't hurt me, please.

I just want to stay here.

Don't make me go.

They turned him into as whiny a liberal as Mark Hamill is in real life.

Yes.

Yes, it did.

And it was even too whiny for Mark Hamill.

He didn't like what they did to Luke.

He complained about it.

But he said, it's not my character.

And let's be honest, Mark was looking for for some acting gigs at that point.

It had been a long time.

It had been a long time.

He had done a bunch of voice stuff.

I'm sure he was doing fine.

That's all he did.

Yeah, for a very long time.

Right.

Someone's writing in saying Andor was another

series, I guess.

I didn't love that.

It was.

But I mean, the fact that what they did to Gina Carano, to remind all of us about this,

here is a person who was doing an excellent job, by far the most interesting character in Mandalorian, including Baby Yoda.

And

she

posts a picture basically saying, hey, we shouldn't go, we shouldn't, you know, we should not do is make, we should just make sure we don't have another Holocaust.

That's like, I feel like something we should make sure.

That was basically the concept of the photo with no real, like, it's not like Joe Biden's going to cause one.

It wasn't anything like that.

It was just like, hey, like.

Let's not forget what has happened and make sure we don't go down these roads.

Very generic, like nothing.

And something that one of her co-stars from the liberal side had done the exact same thing, the exact same thing.

And they fired her, not him.

And I was like, this isn't, what am I doing?

What am I doing even watching, giving any attention to this nonsense?

Why am I watching this?

Why am I giving these people money?

They're horrible, horrible people.

And

I'm not like a boycott guy at all.

I just honestly have just lost interest.

Like, it's, it's so infuriating.

And, and you get to the point where you have this this emotional connection with a show like that, an emotional connection with a movie series where you just almost feel dedicated to it.

It's like, I kind of feel like that with

the office.

Like, I don't know.

Most of the time, I'll watch almost anything for the people of the office or in just because I love the office.

You know, like, you know,

Jim from the office makes a new movie.

Yeah, I'll probably check it out.

Just because I like him, you know?

And you had that sort of connection.

And at some point, you realize, what am I putting myself through?

Why am I doing this?

And that's where I am with Star Wars.

I can't watch any of it.

Yeah, it's sad.

I think a lot of people are there now.

A lot of people have just given up on it because, you know, it was wrecked.

And again, I mean, they had so much goodwill for Star Wars.

It's hard to wreck that.

Yeah, really hard.

You built up, you know, 40 years of goodwill, and it's almost too bad that he brought it back.

It might have been better had he just left it alone.

Yeah, just like the three.

Just let him lay and let him be.

And it would still be considered brilliant.

His bank account disagrees.

Yes, that's true.

I will say.

That's true.

By multiple commas.

And he sold it for what, 4 billion, I think, to Disney.

And I remember when that happened, number one, it's like striking how much money that is.

Number two, you realize almost immediately, of course they're going to make their money back on this.

That was a deal.

And then now you're at the point where, like, I don't know.

Are they losing money on these series?

I can't even.

I know.

I don't know.

Maybe, maybe it's blatantly obvious, but they're putting these things out on Disney Plus.

So, like, they're just counting this as like their subscribers.

But, like, I feel like they just destroyed the entire thing.

Just like Joe Biden's legacy.

You know, he was an incredible public servant for 50 years, Pat.

Everything this man did was gold.

Gold.

Right.

He was basically the savior of our country for a half century.

Yeah.

And now he got

a night.

He got a cold.

One cold.

Bad night

because of of jet lag and a cold.

A jet lagged cold.

That's the thing.

He didn't know it was coming because the cold itself was jet lagged.

Damn it.

And it's like, it's unfair.

This man's had an incredible career.

And it's ruined 52 years of brilliant service to this country.

I love that.

The guy had a 37% approval rating before the debate.

How can you say he's had a great presidency?

I mean, certainly that's not true to 70, almost 70%, you know, 63% of the public that either didn't know or think it was terrible.

And the overwhelming percentage of people think it was bad.

His disapproval rate right now is 57%.

How can you disapprove of

what?

Since he took over, inflation is up

23% or something,

if you add it all up.

Oh, yeah.

They like to make the case that, no, no, it's completely out of control.

Now it's only 3.5%.

yeah yeah but that's on top of nine percent at one point and then three more percent and then three more percent and four percent and i mean it's gone up a ton since he took over who doesn't love that everybody loves that

everyone loves the giant jump everybody loves it when 10 million people you don't know sneak into the country illegally everybody loves that that's great by the way can i can i separate a little rant but a somewhat related one

which is another thing I loved as a child, McDonald's.

I can't take the freaking McDonald's attacks right now.

It's driving me crazy.

There are McDonald's attacks?

I bought a $14 Big Mac meal.

What's wrong with McDonald's?

Okay, number one, McDonald's exist in Joe Biden's America.

They deal with the same pressures every other freaking business does.

Okay?

I saw this.

They're like,

you know, they talked about, I saw an interview with the CEO and they're like, well, I mean, we saw this one social media post on TikTok that in Connecticut on

the Highway McDonald's, someone bought a Big Mac meal for $14.

Okay, first of all, a little-known fact, I worked at the Highway McDonald's in Connecticut.

That was my first job when I was a kid.

And everything is triple the price because there's nowhere else to stop.

It's just Highway McDonald's.

So those McDonald's have always been three times the cost of all the other McDonald's.

Then they're like, well, it's actually, though, even if you just say that's an

a similar, you know, a one-off, the prices are up 20% since 2019.

Yeah, like every other price and every other thing in the country.

Go to the grocery store.

Go to the grocery store.

Go anywhere and you will find that same sort of increase.

And people act like, I'm sorry, like if you want,

if you want cheap food at McDonald's, you can get it.

You know, I mean, I go there too often.

You know,

it's not that crazy.

They've got all sorts of deals going on in the app all the time.

Let me see.

I got the app open here.

Let's see.

Rewards and deals.

Look at this.

Every day these things are here.

Free chicken McNuggets with Virchase.

99 cent coffee.

$2 any size fries.

$1.50 breakfast sandwich.

Look, what the hell are these people supposed to do?

They're delivering to billions and billions and billions served.

Inexpensive, delicious, yes, maybe not perfectly healthy food

to the to people.

And all people do is bitch about it.

Don't go if you don't want to go.

Shut up.

I'm sick of all the whining about it.

You want to blame somebody for McDonald's prices?

The freaking invalid in the White House is where you start with that.

Not, not, not Joe, not, not McDonald.

Ronald McDonald is not president of the United States.

You want him in there, vote for him.

He's not there, unfortunately.

He'd do a

better clown show than the one we have.

I'll tell you that.

That's for sure.

Abortion has remained the world's leading cause of death for the fifth consecutive year in 2023, despite the overturn of Roe vs.

Wade, making it the leading cause of death in the world.

Tragically, this total is greater than the number of deaths attributed to the next seven causes of death combined.

It's a problem, and Pre-Born is leading the charge in our nation to turn this around.

Every day, Pre-Born's network of clinics rescues 200 babies.

You see, by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound, the baby's chance of survival doubles.

Now, 200 babies are truly miraculous, but Pre-Born's work has only begun, and we need to do more together.

By the time I finish this life-saving message, two babies will be aborted in this country.

Please join me.

One ultrasound is $28, and $140 will offer five babies a chance at life.

Just dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

Patent stew for Glenn today, by the way.

You know, you were talking about McDonald's raising their prices because everything's gone up, what, 23%?

Although, As a small business owner, I have noticed it's a lot more than that on certain products.

It's about triple that on some things like butter and sugar and other products that you need to make, you know, I don't know, like, for instance, cookies.

Yeah.

And you guys at Keck C Cookies use about one-third of America's butter

in your cookies in each cookie, which is incredible.

As we do.

But as a business owner, you have to decide at some point, all right, do I continue to eat this cost?

Yep.

Or do I raise the price of what I sell so you can make money on it?

Or do you change your recipe slightly?

Maybe the the cookies are a little smaller.

Maybe you don't give as good a value.

No.

I mean, I know you guys for a long time just ate it completely, which is, by the way, a terrible idea for a business, just so you know.

Right.

But you've been successful because people really love the cookies and keep coming back.

And right now, you can get 15% off the cookies at Kexie.

Very nice.

Kexie.com.

Very nice.

15% off right now.

Kexie.com.

There you go.

But it's true.

I think it hits small businesses hardest the time.

It does.

And, you know, I mean, does IBM care that the prices have gone up at the grocery store,

you know, 25%?

Probably not as much as

we do.

So, yeah, small businesses are going to be more affected.

But eventually, it's going to catch up to the places like McDonald's.

And they're going to have to decide: all right, do we raise the price of a value meal or do we continue to eat it indefinitely and not make as much money as we once did?

You're not going to do that forever, right?

It's crazy.

We'll see you tomorrow.
