If the Left Doesn’t Play Fair, What Should Conservatives Do? | 6/5/24

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

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

Welcome to the fusion

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We have patents do for Glenn this week.

Triple 8727BECK.

Fascinating articles coming out the last few days about

our cadaver-in-chief, Joe Robinette Biden.

Some people are noticing.

This is incredible.

What?

That he has cognitively declined.

No bit.

No.

No.

No.

It pisses me off when people say that because it's so obviously not true.

And lots of Democrats were able to step up after the fact and say,

no.

No.

That didn't.

What are you talking about?

No, the man's as sharp as a tack.

Tack.

I think that was a quote, I believe, from the article.

I believe.

I believe it is.

Many of them, in fact, we have a montage of he's sharp as attack.

He's sharp as attack.

He's sharp as attack.

Okay.

We'll get to that and lots more in one minute.

I don't need to tell you how important a good night's sleep is.

Maybe Joe should get a few more.

Let's see, you know, just throwing that out there.

Although he does go to bed at 5 p.m.

and get up around 11 a.m.

So I don't know if he can get more sleep.

But if you're like most people, sometimes you just can't fall asleep or maybe you can't stay asleep.

And you frequently wake up in the middle of the night.

It can be a real problem for a lot of people.

you know, if one of those nights where you just can't get to bed, well, maybe Z-Factor can really help.

All right, so.

Some mainstream media outlets are noticing

some,

I don't know,

the disintegration of Joe Biden.

Yeah, I was, I don't know, it was a few months ago, a couple months ago, Pat, where they had the result of that special counsel that was looking into the documents with Joe Biden.

Yeah.

And they released a report that said, we're not going to charge the guy.

Why?

Because he didn't commit crimes?

No.

No.

We're not going to charge him because he is.

an elderly man with a poor memory.

And if he got in front of a jury, everyone would say, Come on, you can't put this guy in jail.

He's so out of touch.

He's so lost.

He doesn't remember anything.

Just let the guy be.

Now, that's a shocking thing to think about when you think that this guy's the president of the United States, right?

Yeah.

That's a real, yes, a real, real problem.

You called him cadaver in chief.

And I have just come off of watching the Jinx season two.

You familiar with this?

I'm not.

The Jinx is a

somewhat famous

true crime documentary.

They aired on HBO in 2015 about Robert Durst.

Remember the.

Oh, I think

I might have even seen that.

Yeah, it's incredible.

It's legitimately incredible.

I mean,

I think it's the peak of the genre.

Like,

the Jinx season one is one of the most stunning six episode series you'll ever watch in your entire life, including the ending, which

even nine years later, I won't ruin for you.

It's that crazy of an ending.

But they just released a season two of The Jinx, and they're going through him in the trial and everything else

about

these crimes he committed,

blatantly committed.

And so

going through that,

very famously in this, there's a note for one of the murders where he just writes the word cadaver.

And as you said, cadaver in chief, it reminds me of this.

Like

he's, Durst is a very old man, very, very frail

in season two in particular.

He's behind bars.

He's, he's struggling to get through sentences.

He can barely speak.

And over and over again watching this, I just was reminded of the President of the United States.

Yeah.

Yes.

That is a shocking thing to say.

This man was near death

on camera.

And I'm watching the president of the United States, and I'm thinking, I don't know, kind of seems like the same thing we watch every day in the press conference.

It's incredible.

Do you have the Wall Street Journal article?

I do.

And this is not.

It's amazing.

It's not the headline you want.

When you're running for president,

this is a free tip to anyone thinking about running for office.

You know, and people will say, well, it's a Wall Street Journal.

It's a conservative publication.

You know, opinion-wise, they kind of are.

I mean, somewhat.

Somewhat.

They're more like old school Republican, I would say.

Yeah.

But

not their news coverage.

No.

No.

In fact, their news coverage at times has been shown to be more liberal than the New York Times.

Right.

So that's not a,

that's a BS excuse.

But here's the headline.

Behind closed doors, Biden shows signs of slipping.

No way.

What?

That was my first reaction.

I know.

You still the thing we all know that is happening is happening?

But thank you for somebody noticing in the mainstream media.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Nice.

Participants in meetings said the 81-year-old president performed poorly at times.

The White House said that Biden is sharp and his critics are playing partisan politics.

Now, they do actually use the phrase in here, sharpest attack, Pat.

I believe, let's see who actually said it.

I know it's in here somewhere.

Oh, here it is.

A Trump.

Oh, this is.

No, actually, it was.

I knew I heard the phrase in here.

Basically, the way the article is formatted, they give you a bunch of examples of

Biden slipping up in meetings, looking like he's not engaged, and we can go into those.

And then it's followed by 65 straight paragraphs of statements from the White House saying that, no, we swear that's not true.

And you know who is dude slipping?

It's Donald Trump.

So it was actually a Trump spokeswoman who said Trump is sharp as a tack.

Oh,

they're both sharp as tacks, guys.

Yes.

That we know.

These are mixed.

It's interesting because there are statements from people like Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker of the House, a Republican, who says he was in a meeting with him and like, wow, something, it didn't seem like he was really there.

He says, I used to meet with him when he was vice president.

I would go to his house.

He is not the same person.

There's stuff like that.

That's for sure.

Which

maybe you could apply to, okay, it's a Republican, even though McCarthy's no longer in office, you might say, well, he still doesn't like Biden.

You know, it's a partisan politics.

And some of these, maybe you can chalk up to that.

However, there are even Democrats in here talking about

this and noticing it.

And it's not a surprise that they would notice it because it's impossible to not notice.

But the Wall Street Journal had interviews with 45 people for this story.

45.

Some of them said he's sharp as a tack.

All

basically in the administration.

But some of the Democrats who came out and said this got some phone calls

from the White House when they knew about about this.

I'll bet they did.

The White House kept close tabs on some of the Wall Street Journal's interviews with Democratic lawmakers.

After the offices of several Democrats shared with the White House either a recording of an interview or details about what was asked, some of those lawmakers spoke to the journal a second time

and once again emphasized Biden's strengths.

This is Gregory Meeks.

He's a representative, New York Democrat.

He says, They just,

you know,

said that I should give you a call back,

said Meeks, referring to the White House.

So Meeks obviously is honest and says, yeah, you know, maybe he's not on the top of his game, and then has to call back and say, I swear everything I said before, you shouldn't listen to that.

You should think instead about the thing I'm about to say, which is he's sharp as attack.

Multiple Democrats, along with a lot of Republicans,

said

they

believe, and this is including a February 27th meeting with Biden and the Speaker of the House now, Johnson, who

talked about a policy, an energy policy that they were working through that had passed.

Johnson was saying, hey, you're going to hurt my state with this energy policy.

And Biden said, well, don't worry about it.

It's just a study.

Now, it was not just a study.

It was a policy that was already passed or was

already in place.

So he didn't even remember it was his policy.

His policy.

Not a study.

Not a study.

There was a study inside the policy, but

it was an actual in-effect policy.

Then you had a meeting about the debt ceiling where McCarthy talked about how he rambled, how he always had note cards.

He couldn't negotiate the policy.

He was asking people around him for help constantly.

That is not good.

Again, you know, maybe you might say, well, for the election, considering Donald Trump doesn't seem to have a lot of these problems, you know, he's made some mistakes here and there,

but generally speaking, that's not what is being reported from behind the scenes about Trump.

There's a world of difference.

A world of difference.

Between the two and their cognitive abilities.

A world of difference.

And everyone notices that, right?

Yeah, I think so.

You can't help but.

The polls show it.

It's just obvious.

Another meeting January 17th, 2024 about Ukraine.

Biden

started making, just talking from notes.

He would make broad points about giving money to Ukraine.

This struck several participants as odd, given that the lawmakers present already generally agreed that more funds were needed.

So he's talking to a pro-Ukraine funding crowd, arguing with them about how they have to give money to Ukraine.

They already are on board.

They were all there because they were on board with giving money to Ukraine.

But he couldn't keep it straight.

Biden deferred so frequently to other lawmakers that much of the conversation didn't include him.

This is according to people who were at the meeting.

When questions came directly to him, he would turn to staffers.

One person who attended said, you couldn't be there and not feel uncomfortable.

I'll just say that.

Now, it is loaded, I will say, with tons and tons of Democratic officials who say, oh, well, we never noticed that.

We were in that meeting and everything we saw, he was perfect.

Of course, that's what they're going to say.

Obviously, they're in the middle of this campaign.

But what's interesting about this is you've got Democrats, you've got some people inside the administration, unnamed, pointing to the idea that this is real.

And what does that mean, Pat?

Because

this story coming out not only tells the truth about who Joe Biden is, but it's more than that, right?

Like it's people who want this story to be told.

Yeah, because it's people who are patriots and realize this guy can't be trusted with the leadership of this nation for the next four years.

It's impossible for him to do this in a second term.

We all know that.

I mean, can you imagine this guy in 2025, 2026?

Look at the way he is now and then

how much he's declined since he was elected in 2020 and then project that over the next four years.

I mean,

it's

inconceivable.

Before he is inaugurated for his second term,

he will be 82 years old.

Before he leaves office, in theory, if he wins a second term, he will be 86.

Yep.

86 years old.

And he's already in terrible shape.

And we can all see it.

It's happened right before our eyes over the last four to six years.

And

he's incapable of doing a second term, that's for sure.

It's true.

Because, I mean, look, let's not overstate Joe Biden's mental acuity.

He's never been sharp.

He's never been sharp as a tack.

I mean, he's a guy.

I mean, go back to his, when he was running for president, what was the what was the interview he did, Pat, where he was saying that

he saw Roosevelt on television?

Yeah.

You remember that?

And it was like, well, the television hadn't been invented yet.

I don't remember the details exactly.

I think it was a Roosevelt reference.

And he talked about, he mentioned a place in Delaware that had been closed for

30 years or something.

Yeah.

He's like, I remember going to Katie.

I mean, this was very, very common for him to have these moments.

And it wasn't just gaffes.

He would have gaffes.

He would say that Barack Obama was the first,

you know, sort of clean, clean, good-looking,

good-looking African-American.

Good African-American.

That's a storybook, man.

Storybook, man.

He would say you can't.

go into a 7-Eleven without a slight Indian accent.

I mean, he would say those things and have those moments, but he at least seemed to have some grasp on what was going on around him, right?

Even though he kind of would have these gaffes, he was never the smartest guy in the world.

He was never near the top of the heap when it came to intellectual ability, but he was able to at least function.

And that, even as vice president, at some level, you'd see that he would certainly mess up.

He would blurt out policies that weren't in effect yet.

He would hurt at times the Obama presidency with some of the stuff that he did.

But again,

he kind of were like, all right, I mean, he's just Joe being Joe.

That's no longer the case.

I mean, let's be honest about it.

Everybody knows this.

Everybody knows it.

Yeah.

And you've got that from the Wall Street Journal as proof when it's starting to seep into mainstream coverage like that.

Plus, Time magazine discusses

an interview they did with him, and he walked him through the White House and the West Wing, and they talk about how compromised he is we'll get into that in one minute

I mean, if you don't believe us that it's not prudent to vote for Joe Biden in November, listen to him.

Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for, because we cannot get re-elect, we cannot win this re-election.

Excuse me.

We can only re-elect Donald Trump.

Well, there you go.

We can only re-elect Donald Trump.

Wow.

He's right.

He's right about that.

Wow.

That's obviously a surprising statement from that endorsement, though, from Joe Biden himself to Donald Trump.

What was he trying to get to there?

I can't even tell.

And turn, turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for.

Okay.

Because we cannot get re-elect.

We cannot win this re-election.

Excuse me.

We can only re-elect Donald Trump.

What?

I don't know what he's.

What was that?

I hadn't heard that.

What was he trying?

I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to say the only way that

America can turn is to him.

Give me one more time.

Give it to me one more time.

I got it.

Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for, because we cannot get re-elected.

We cannot win this re-election.

Excuse me.

We can only re-elect Donald Trump.

I can't.

I don't know.

I can't decipher.

I was thinking.

I think his is as good as mine.

Maybe, okay, here's.

Let me just kind of

attempt to spitball it to translate this.

I think maybe what he was trying to say, what the speech said, was we cannot re-elect Donald Trump.

Yes.

And then

he got halfway through that and realized, wait a minute, I'm president,

not Donald Trump.

Yes.

So, wait, I want to be re-elected.

So then he thought it was a re-election reference about himself in the middle of the sentence.

So then he tried to reframe it as we cannot re-elect.

And he's like, wait, I'm the person going for re-election.

so it was re-elect me.

And then he said, Wait a minute, I just said I can't re-elect it.

So then we said we have to re-elect it.

And then the next line was actually Trump the whole time.

Yeah, so he just corrected himself three or four times, and then he realized we have to.

He's trying to say, I have to re-elect me, but actually, Trump was the next word.

And he just like Braun Burgundied it, it just read it right off the prompter.

Yeah, he got

himself too deeply enmeshed in it.

Yeah.

And then there was really no way out.

Yeah.

And like, so that is a

great example of what the problem is.

Well, it is.

Right.

It is.

And

not only did the Wall Street Journal point that out, Time just kind of pointed that out.

And just had an argument with his own speech.

Right.

That was a written speech.

He had an argument

on stage.

All right.

So Time has watched it.

This is from Time magazine.

They go to the White House, and Biden is showing them around and telling them stories as he goes.

And Time writes, as he walked Time through the West Wing and sat for a 35-minute interview on May 28th, the president, with his stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax, cut a striking contrast with the intense, loquacious figure who served as senator and vice president.

Wow.

From Time magazine, you're going to acknowledge and print that?

Wow, that's a good thing.

It must be bad.

Yeah, it must be bad.

And that must be bad.

And that echoes another thing in the Wall Street Journal story where they said, I think it was in the Ukraine meeting where he was speaking so softly that people in the room couldn't even hear him.

I mean, they're having an important meeting about

the World War III thing he's trying to start, apparently.

We can get into that more later.

But

kind of important that you can know what he said,

right?

Yeah.

And there were five people that pointed that out to them.

Just the five.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not like I just heard this from somebody who doesn't like the president.

Five people pointed it out.

Time goes on

to say that Biden bristles at the suggestion that he's aging out of his job.

Well, of course he does.

Asked whether he could handle its rigors through the end of his second term when he'll be 86, he shot back, I could do it better than anybody you know.

But they didn't buy it.

They didn't buy it.

Oh, no.

And it's nice to see that, you know, others are finally admitting it.

Welcome to the party.

Next time you pull through the drive-thru and get a hamburger, take it home, throw it in the microwave, set that puppy on for, I don't know, an hour or so, long enough that what comes out is a smoldering heap of charcoal, now spray just a little bit of beef flavoring on the top and bone appetite.

All you have to do is sprinkle it on the top of your dog food.

And of course, your dog's going to go crazy for this when you do that.

Brown food is dead food.

Today, folks,

when folks see shovels on the ground in these projects,

the work that you risked your life doing lots of it.

What was that?

Sorry, it was today, folks.

I mean, how much clearer does he have to get here?

See, shovels in the ground in these projects.

Right.

The work that

you risked your life doing lots of it.

Wow.

Okay.

That was profound.

All right.

I mean, this man is not just sharp as attack, but incredibly talented, always has been.

I'm sure always will be.

You know, he doesn't talk enough about his.

his football days.

Oh, yeah.

He's a great player.

Great, great football player.

I mean, not in the traditional sense.

No, but in in a non-traditional football way.

In the traditional sense, you'd be good and people would notice that you're good.

Yeah.

That's not the way he was good.

No.

He was good in a different way.

Nobody knew he was so good.

Right.

He knew.

Apparently, he knew and he did some interesting things when he was playing football.

Decide against going to the Naval Academy and instead went to Delaware.

Oh, wow.

But there was a good reason for that.

By the way,

I'm all Navy, but

I was appointed to Navy.

Anyway, I was going to go play at the Naval Academy.

I like, did you notice he almost said I was appointed to go to Nick?

Because you've got to get a senatorial appointment, I think, or a recommendation or something

to that effect.

And then he realized, nah, they can check on that.

I can't say that.

So he changed that quickly.

So I found out the other guys in the backfield were a guy named Roger Stauback and Joe Polino.

So I decided to go to Delaware.

But our son, so I was.

Which is weird because I guess he didn't want to have a he now he doesn't play in the backfield, so I don't know why.

I don't know why that affected him so much.

So he didn't go, he didn't go to Navy, no, he didn't, even though they recruited him, right?

He went to Delaware, he went to Delaware instead, which is right on the it was Navy and Delaware, top two teams of the nation back then.

And so he always battled for the same recruits at that time.

Huge competition

between Navy, Navy, and Delaware.

Delaware.

And so he decided to go to Delaware because Roger Staubach and Joe Bolo,

who was the Heisman Trophy winner in 1960.

I mean, the two great players.

So basically, he was, Pat, intimidated that he wouldn't get any playing time because these two great players were there playing together.

Except for the fact that he didn't play in the backfield, he was a wide receiver.

So you didn't have to compete against the two of them.

Wait, wouldn't you think if you were a wide receiver

that you would want a good quarterback throwing the ball to you?

Right, like Staubach would be the guy you'd want.

Apparently, that wasn't the case.

That wasn't the case.

No, Neither was it the case that Staubach and Joe Bellino played at the same time.

They didn't.

Do they?

They never played in the same backfield at Navy.

And

he was never recruited to play at Navy.

So there's that issue as well.

Really?

Yeah, it's a complex story that you, I mean, there's some nuance there, I think.

I don't know.

I don't know how to chalk that up because I don't feel like that one has anything to do with his

mental acuity falling apart.

That's just him lying.

Yes, right?

That's what he's done all along.

All along.

He's been doing this forever.

The Amtrak story.

Oh, my gosh.

Where he constantly said he had a certain amount of miles that he had gone and he talked to a woman who was dead.

And I mean, I don't know if he's got a Bruce Willis

baby.

And Anns came up to me as I walked and he said, Joey, and he grabbed my cheek.

He said, Joey, baby.

Yeah.

The guy was dead for 15 years at that point when he did that.

Again,

not six weeks.

Right.

15 15 years

he had been dead for a decade and a half plus he'd been retired from that position since i think 1992 if i remember correctly

why i don't know why would you brag about this what i don't know it's weird it's just weird like so weird it's almost as if he feels uncomfortable telling a story about his life.

So he has to lie.

It's like he feels actually more comfortable lying than he does telling the truth, which is the opposite of most people.

Like

if you're telling a lie, you're like,

I don't know.

I mean, I feel weird saying this.

I don't know.

I don't know.

They might find out.

Problem.

No,

that's not what happens with Joe.

And in fact,

he'll tell current lies that are so easily

discovered.

you know, and that others have debunked, not just us, but

his usual allies have debunked these things like PolitiFact and Snopes and everybody who claims to deal with fact-checking has debunked this one and he keeps telling it.

Bringing down inflation was 9% when I came to office.

9%.

9%, yeah.

But look, people have a right to be concerned.

But look, no, it wasn't 9% when you came into office.

And it's been talked about a million times.

He's said that at least five times recently.

Yes, and he's been called out on it by everybody.

everyone.

What was it?

1.9% when he took office, I believe.

1.8% I think.

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah.

It's incredibly low.

Went up to nine.

Now it's at, what is it, four, three and a half?

Right around there.

I mean,

about double what it was when he came into office.

That one is like, again,

a

lie that you can sort of understand a politician.

telling.

Now, it's because it's so easily fact-checked, you'd think normally you wouldn't tell it, but like you can see the motivation there, right?

He's trying to make his record look better than it is.

And that's very typical of any politician.

Everyone does that at some level.

He's just doing it at a level that is like, you know, maybe below kindergarten level.

Like, it's just very, very, very, he's very bad at it.

But it's the same thing with his, you know, we created 11 million jobs or whatever he's been saying.

15 now.

15 million.

And he's, you know, he's measuring from the bottom of COVID,

which is a fascinating thing.

When everyone realizes, number one, they all remember the pandemic.

It's only been a few years.

We were all there.

We all remember all the stores and the restaurants and everything closed down.

And so that's why there were not a lot of jobs at that point.

We all remember that.

That's number one.

And number two,

he supported all of those policies and

tried to extend them for years.

You know, like when everyone else had moved on, he was still saying that people needed to shut down and and wear masks and vaccinate and do all these other things, but everyone else had already moved on.

We're like, wait a minute, what year is this?

And it's not just the 15 million jobs lie about the pandemic.

It's also the $1.7 trillion that he trimmed from the deficit.

Yeah.

Another great one.

Which, you know, blatant lie.

Blatant lie.

And everybody has debunked that one too.

And he doesn't care.

He just keeps saying it.

It's pretty amazing.

It used to be that when you got caught in a lie, then you kind of backtrack or you just shut up about it.

You don't say it because you don't want to cause anybody to pay attention to the lie.

He doesn't have that problem at all.

No.

He just keeps saying it.

And somehow that works for him, I guess.

Yeah.

And, you know, adding this on to what we talked about starting the show today, these moments of...

mental acuity that are noticeable to people who even like him,

it creates a heck of a package here because you got someone who's constantly lying and probably doesn't even know what's going on around him often.

I mean, are you as

bothered as I am, Pat, about the fact that this interview with Biden, where he said, where, you know, that led to the

he's an elderly man with poor memory, which, by the way, we just made shirts of that.

If you would like one for the campaign season, stew does merch.com.

You can get an elderly man with a poor memory campaign t-shirt.

It's very attractive.

People will love it.

A lot of people will think it's a pro-Biden shirt, and then they'll get closer and realize it.

So, you know, you got to price that in.

But it's available at studozmerch.com.

But when you look at that situation, we have the transcript of that interview is how we know a lot of the details of it.

But

they will not,

the Biden administration is blocking the release of the audio of it.

And

I mean, what could that audio sound like?

Oh, it must be bad.

They are claiming executive privilege to block the release of this.

Now, we have the transcript.

What on earth could possibly be the reason for executive privilege?

We already know what was said.

Yeah.

And it was not good.

The transcript wasn't good.

But.

You know, there is a difference between reading a transcript and hearing this audio.

And they're like, well, you know, the explanation given is, well, they don't want, you know, Republicans to put it in the ads, which, okay, I mean, I could see that.

That's not a reason to have executive privilege, however.

So it's not a good legal argument.

But like, maybe you could say, well, that's the reason why they just don't want the audio of him sounding like he's lost it.

They can, of course, put the text on the screen, but I guess there's a maybe added benefit.

But like, how bad must it sound?

If he was just saying the things that were in the transcript normally, you'd think there'd be no reason.

It's a big problem.

Right.

But it's probably one of of these situations where he's stuttering all over himself and stammering and he can't

pausing.

He has no period

of

his lungs, you know, he's got like one-eighth of one lung that's working right now.

So he's like,

and no one can understand him.

I mean, maybe it just sounds scary.

Maybe he is able to get up with it with some concoction of Red Bull and Celsius and get through the day,

or at least a few hours of the day.

I want to know what that concoction is, though.

I really do.

That's why I fully support Trump's plan to have a drug test before the debate happens.

And

they just did a survey about how many Americans want to see that, or do you not want them to be drug tested?

Should they drug test both of them?

70% said yes.

Why not?

It was

62%

with Democrats, 62%, 64%.

and

78% of Republicans.

Why would you say no?

Yeah, why would you say no?

I mean, like, I guess you could argue, I don't know.

I mean, maybe you say it's invasive to enforce them.

I don't know.

It's beneath us.

Like, normally we don't do that to presidential candidates.

I guess that's all fine, but like, why not?

I mean, jump on board.

You know, again, this is a man who has a son who has been addicted to crack.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

This is a man who

had cocaine found at his White House.

Yeah.

This is a man who seems to be two or three different people based on what time of the day it is.

And sometimes depending on like if he's got a big speech, he's a totally different person.

So what are you hiding?

What is going on?

I am interested.

Me too.

I'd like to know.

I'd like to know.

I mean, just from a scientific perspective, the things that happened to Joe Biden from one day to the next, I am fascinated to know.

They hop him up on something.

For instance, that's how he got through.

I think.

that's how he got through the State of the Union speech this year.

Which was still bad.

Still bad.

Yes.

It was still bad.

But I was surprised it wasn't worse than it was because he spoke for, what, about an hour?

And I thought, man, he's not going to be able to get through an hour.

He's going to keep this thing to 15, 20 minutes.

But he went on.

And so I think, you know, there was some kind of chemical concoction that was running through his system that particular night to make it as good as it was, which wasn't good.

Which wasn't good.

But

he was at least awake.

Yeah.

He did.

It was doable.

Fall asleep.

By the way, there are stories in the Wall Street Journal story about him closing his eyes for so long in a meeting they thought he had fallen asleep.

Now, it didn't confirm he actually was asleep, but that's what they thought.

And then to your point here about the potential substance

issues, the performance-enhancing drugs issues you're talking about.

When Biden was negotiating with House Republicans to lift the debt ceiling, his demeanor and command of the details seemed to shift from one day to the next, according to then Speaker Kevin McCarthy and two others familiar with the talks.

On some days, he had loose and spontaneous exchanges with Republicans, and on others, he mumbled and appeared to rely on notes.

And that's

consistent with what you see in television.

Yeah, sometimes he's okay.

He's not good, but he's okay.

He can get through it.

And then other times, he's just a train wreck.

Yeah.

And the scariest thing about this is, again, you know, this is a guy who's ahead of the free world.

That's the gig.

Everything that we notice when you're watching TV and you see Joe Biden have one of these moments, and you know, maybe it's funny to you, maybe it's sad to you, whatever it is, everything that you notice about that moment is something that people on his team is also noticing.

They're all noticing the same things.

They know this.

So what you are seeing is the best possible version where people who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to be around Joe Biden all the time

pull every trick in the book to get him to look as good as you see him.

That's the best he is.

It's pretty frightening.

There are people paid, Pat, to make sure his

image is strong and virile.

And again, he's in his 80s, but like as good as you can possibly get to be presented to us,

that we see him at his absolute best.

There are teams of people

who do just this,

and what you see on television is the result of that process.

That is terrifying.

Triple 8, 727, BECK, more coming up.

Well, the left is being honest.

Bill Maher the other day admitted that killing a baby is murder.

I mean, he's okay with it, which I don't know what that says about him.

Probably not.

I mean, the honesty is a point in his favor, but there might be some negatives there as well.

Look, we've been looking at the issue of abortion for a very long time, and Pre-Born has been doing the same thing.

They've been really, of course, not just blabbing about it on the radio, but doing something about it.

They're the largest pro-life organization in the country.

And they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.

I think a lot of people thought, oh, Roe versus Wade is overturned.

We did our job.

That was part of it.

But a bigger part of it is making sure that you can keep these children alive.

Pre-born sponsors free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.

When a mother sees her unborn child on the monitor or hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.

If you want to help heal our land and save precious souls, please give generously to Pre-Born.

28 bucks could be the difference between life and death.

Join the fight by sponsoring one, two, three, or 200 ultrasounds if you can do it.

We got day, what, three, I think, of the Hunter Biden trial, right?

The good thing is, there's going to be no reciprocation here.

It ends right here with this trial of this particular person

and the trial of

Donald Trump last week.

It's over now.

Oh, good.

Yeah, there's not going to be any retaliatory strikes on anybody.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.

Good to hear.

I was worried about that, actually.

Are you worried about it?

Yeah, I was actually worried about it.

Yeah.

That would be vindictive

and wrong for people to hear.

Would it?

I think

that's an interesting conversation.

Would it be wrong?

Next, in one minute.

Well, as you may have heard, we have a lot of work to do in this country.

It seems like the battle is always uphill, especially when it comes to fighting against the left's constant efforts to to destroy America from within.

But hope persists, and one of the things you can do is patronize businesses who stand for the same principles that you and I stand for.

So you don't think there's going to be any retaliatory strikes with, I don't know, like Democrats being tried for

some sort of bogus charge in the future, do you?

You know, it's interesting.

I do think that there there will be retribution.

Do you really?

Largely because so many people are saying it publicly.

Now it's not even like, okay, there's a talk show host saying it, or there's some, you know, internet guy tweeting about it.

Like, elected officials are just saying, hey,

if you are a district attorney, if you are a prosecutor, if you're an attorney general, and you're in one of these areas where there is a prominent Democrat

who can be looked into in every which way possible to find if they had any technical violation of the law in any way.

Go do it.

And then

don't do what normally happens in such a similar case, right?

Like, you know, a similar case with Donald Trump.

The case is the charges would have been dropped.

Maybe there would have been a, you know, some sort of

fine at the very maximum.

Don't do that.

Pursue it to the fullest extent of the law, the maximum penalty.

Make every single claim you can.

Like if there's there's one payment you have a problem with, turn it into 34 felonies.

Do exactly what they did in New York.

I was talking to somebody yesterday who

follows the news a decent amount and was like, you know, I don't know what to think about this Trump thing.

Not like a hardcore news like follower, not a news junkie.

So it's not someone who watched the day-to-day back and forth about the Trump thing.

And was like, you know, I don't know.

I mean, like, you know, he did, it looks like he did make these payments.

And, you know, the Stormy Daniels thing, I don't like.

And

I don't know.

You know, part of me thinks that they're kind of coming after him.

But, you know, part of me thinks, you know, he did do it.

And he, you know,

you get what you deserve.

And I said, well, did you know that it was a misdemeanor?

Did you know that it was a misdemeanor that was beyond the statute of limitations?

That they had to convolute for the first time ever using this law, they had to convolute another separate charge, which they didn't even tell Trump or anyone in the jury about until after closing arguments ended.

Did you know that?

Because that's important.

It kind of, yeah.

Did you know that they didn't even have to agree on what crime it was?

They gave them a menu of potential crimes and then didn't allow testimony as to whether those crimes had been violated?

It sounds so preposterous, doesn't it?

It's so preposterous when you let people know that.

When you say that out loud, it's like,

no,

that couldn't happen in the United States of America.

It just did.

It just did.

It just did.

And you know what?

You're going to be seeing a lot more of that stuff.

Because, look, everyone knows the tax code is a great example of this.

Everyone knows with

tens of thousands of pages of the tax code, if you really want to go take out some enemy, you probably can find something they did wrong.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

find,

look,

the code, the U.S.

code is

how many thousands of pages?

I was in Mike Lee's office a few weeks ago, and he's got, I think it's the regulations of the United States of America just printed out and piled up in his office.

And it's like as tall as you in three separate containers of just paper, like just to show how ridiculous it is.

Like, this is a situation where you can find something on someone if you want to.

What we had as a country for a really long time was a nation that didn't do things like that.

And now we've crossed this line.

There was a story yesterday, it was the New York Times, or no, actually, it was a couple of days ago.

And it was one of the main stories about, hey, you know, this is Donald Trump's been convicted.

It was like telling the story of the trial.

And of course, it was all filled with lies.

But the headline was, for the first time in history,

a former president is a felon or something like that.

And you can understand what they're trying to do with that headline.

But what they're doing, what that headline says could be one of two things.

Number one, the thing they're trying to do, which is basically to say that Donald Trump is worse than all the other presidents.

He's worse.

All the other ones somehow got through this and never had this problem.

And now Donald Trump, who is worse than all the other presidents, is having this issue.

And that's what they were trying to do with that headline.

But the other thing that that headline may suggest is that the people doing the prosecuting have broken every american tradition we've had for 200 plus years the reason why no president before donald trump was a felon is because

people had restraint

They didn't try to do this to their political opponents, at least in this one venue.

We had this one venue.

We're like, okay, the president of the United States, we're going to keep that pretty clean.

The guy's running for office again.

Every American can come together and become a giant jury to see if he gets the gig again.

We can all vote on whether we think these quote-unquote crimes violate our principles and our morals, and we can make the judgment, but they want to take that away from us.

And now,

once that has happened, once you've opened up that Pandora's box, you're going to see some real trouble.

Yeah, you're going to have some retaliation.

It's almost inevitable.

And they're saying it.

I'm not exactly sure.

I don't want to see it.

I mean, it's not the right thing to do necessarily.

The tit for tat, the

quid pro quo, all of that

is not necessarily

great to get involved in, but it's hard to argue against it now because

you want it to stop and the only way you're going to get it to stop is to show them, look,

this is what it feels like.

Do you like it?

Yeah,

that's a great point.

And that's the high-minded view.

What you just outlined is the high-minded version of this.

There's an article in the New York Times today: the GOP push for post-verdict payback, fight fire with fire.

Republican leaders in and out of government are publicly pushing to prosecute Democrats as legal retribution for Donald Trump's felony conviction.

And, like,

I am not the type of person who wants that to be

the path of the country.

Yeah.

however i don't number one i don't know how you stop it it without that what do you do just become the constant victim what what what is your choice to constantly be rolled over by your opponents right what do you do that's the alternative right now really right the uh the alternative is to sit there and just get have a car drive over you and then back over you again every single day for the rest of your life like no

Yeah.

Right?

Yes.

I mean, this is the high-minded version.

This is your, the version I think you and I would agree on is

outlined by John Yu.

He, he was a, you remember him.

He was the guy most infamous or famous for the torture memos in the Bush administration.

Oh, yeah.

Saying that actually like enhanced interrogation can be allowed under certain circumstances.

But he says, in order to prevent the case against Trump from assuming a permanent place in the American political system, Republicans will have to bring charges against Democratic officers, even presidents.

He wrote for National Review.

He added, only retaliation in kind can produce the deterrence necessary to enforce a political version of mutual assured destruction without the threat of prosecution of their own leaders.

Democrats will continue to charge future Republican presidents without restraint.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, they will.

You know,

this is not,

you could say Trump is different.

Trump is unique.

Not only are you right, but he would agree with you, right?

Like Donald Trump is different than all the other politicians we've had before.

We all know that.

But he is no different in the fact that if Ron DeSantis is the candidate in 2028, they're going to try to do the same thing to him.

They're going to go after everybody.

They're going to continue to do this, and you have to do something to stop them.

And the only way you can do it is taking the rules that they

designed on the left and applying it to them, making them feel the pain of the policies they support.

And like, I would definitely not be in favor of doing this towards some Democrat who wasn't cheering this on.

I would want it only applied to people who have publicly cheered this nonsense on.

If you're out there saying, oh, yeah, absolutely, all of this is right, you absolutely should be a target of this.

And

I don't say that as someone who wants that to be the future of the country.

I just don't know what the other path is.

I really don't.

There's a line in here.

Let me read this to you, Pat.

The more extreme calls for not just oversight scrutiny and political obstructionism, but revenge prosecutions are coming from former senior Trump administration officials and people close to the former president who are expected to play even larger roles in a potential second term.

Their message is often apocalyptic.

There is no longer any room, they argue, for weaklings who fetishize decency and restraint.

As a,

I mean, it's worded by the New York Times intentionally this way, but like, that's a powerful line and something to think about.

I would argue that I fetishize decency and restraint as a person when it comes to politics.

I do.

I really want it.

I really want it.

I don't know.

Am I a weakling?

Maybe that's what you can call me.

But like in this situation,

because I want decency and restraint, I can't think of another path to get there other than doing the same things to them that they've requested become part of the political universe.

They've designed this.

They've begged for it to occur.

Sure have.

And what else do you do?

What else do you do?

I don't know.

We've tried it the other way, where there's no retaliation.

And how, where has that gotten us?

It's gotten us here.

You know, I mean, Republicans just do comport themselves differently.

There's just no doubt about it.

And look what

George Santos is a good example of that.

The guy lied about his life.

He lied about circumstances.

He lied about a lot of stuff.

And he was kicked out of Congress for that.

You've got Bob Menendez and others

who have taken money from foreign powers and influenced their vote as a result.

And nothing happens to them.

Nobody's insisting, except for John Fetterman,

that anything be done about Menendez and Democrats in those situations.

I mean, they just, they do things differently.

And I think that's a really good example of, okay, Republicans don't want liars and cheats.

I mean, for the most part, when it's that obvious, They don't mind if nobody catches them lying.

That's a good disclaimer on that.

But when it's that obvious, at least they do something about it.

On the other hand, the Democrats don't.

They don't care.

And you can find examples, of course, of both sides having issues

with these situations.

But this is a different level.

They bent the rules in every which way to get to a conviction.

We all are aware of that.

And their justification was essentially Al Capone, right?

It was like, ah,

he's a bad guy.

And yeah, we got him on something else, but so what?

He needed to go to prison.

And like, I'm not, I don't like the Al Capone thing either, honestly.

Like, I don't think that's a good way for the justice system to work.

Get, you know, but I mean, you know, tax evasion is still

an important thing.

And he did seem to very much do.

So I guess you're fine with that.

I just don't like, oh, well, let's find something.

Let's keep looking until we find something.

I don't like that being the motivation of the government.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Ah, let's find something.

But that is what they did here.

The guy ran for office saying he was going to do it.

Letitia James ran for office saying she was going to do this.

She came out.

She did it.

He did it.

And then you get to the end of this situation, and I just don't know what else you do.

Unless you want a country that just has Democrats that are not in prison, What else do you do?

888-727-BECK.

More coming up in one minute.

All right, summer is finally here.

And for most people, that means going out, having fun in the sun, unless you're going to prison, of course.

Shooting around a golf, maybe hopping on a bike, maybe just taking a walk.

You know, of course, if you have aches and pains, then you're hitting me every day.

It kind of ruins the fun, makes none of that stuff enjoyable.

Pat Stuffer Glenn today.

You know, another example of the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.

How did Democrats treat Bill Clinton when he paid Paula, was it Paula Jones?

Wasn't that her name?

When he paid her $850,000 to be quiet?

Was that a problem?

Do we know where that payment came from?

Was it logged correctly?

I don't know.

I don't know, but nobody cared.

The Democrats certainly didn't.

Oh, that's his private life.

Let's stay out of that.

That doesn't affect the presidency in any way.

Oh, huh.

Okay.

Well, things have changed in the last 25 years or so, that's for sure.

Yeah, and I fear it's going to get a lot worse.

I think this is the wrong direction for us to go in, but I fear we're going to go in that direction.

I mean, look at the Hillary Clinton thing is a good example as you bring up the Clintons.

Yes, Donald Trump went on stage all the time and everyone chanted lock her up during that campaign.

And what happened when he got into office?

He didn't lock her up.

He was a giant zilch.

Yeah.

He did nothing.

He didn't do anything to go after her.

And you can criticize him for that.

I think he's critical of himself for that now.

I'm serious.

I think

I don't think this is going to be a repeat of last time.

When he came out and he said, lock her up a bunch of times.

He's going to get into office.

He's going to put people in these roles that are not going to

feel the restraint of these traditions where we haven't gone after our political enemies.

How can he possibly

think

to respect those rules and those traditions?

He's been the victim of all of them dissolving in front of all of our eyes.

So, you think Donald Trump's not going to put somebody in office that's going to make sure they are super aggressive against people like Hillary Clinton?

When you have the little oopsie with the business records on your campaign, you think that's going to be just dismissed now?

Of course, he's going to do this.

Of course, he is.

And every one of his aides is cheering it on in this article.

Yeah.

You know, understandably so.

Yep.

I mean, I just, why would just go out and beat him?

If you think he's Adolf Hitler, you should be able to be victorious with your 90-year-old candidate.

Just go out there and win.

Yeah.

And like, they're so pathetic that they had to ruin our entire system of government to get this guy thrown.

What?

34 BS felonies?

They had to put all of this at risk for that?

It's incredible.

It is.

So, it's a disgrace.

It is legitimately a disgrace.

But such is their hatred of this guy.

Yeah.

They hate him

so much that they're willing to compromise our entire system.

They're willing to overthrow.

everything we've known over the last 247 years.

They don't care.

They don't care.

They don't care.

That's how much they hate his guts.

Who respects institutions and who doesn't?

We're told that Donald Trump doesn't respect the institutions.

How can you even make that argument when you're comparing the two?

Yeah, you can't.

It is just to watch this happen for just because they just don't want to go out and win.

They want to get him taken off the ballot.

They don't want any opposition in their primaries.

They just want to be able to win.

It's theirs.

They get it.

And now they want to take him and put him in prison to try to.

I mean, it's just embarrassing, among other things.

since the terror attacks on October 7th anti-Semitism has been on the rise and not just in Israel but here at home in the United States and of course around the world as well that's why we've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and today we're coming to you to ask that you stand with the IFCJ and take a pledge to raise your voice just as Oscar Schindler and Corey Tenboom did the pledge is asking Christians to stand with their Jewish brothers and sisters and never be silent to show the Jewish people that they are not alone.

They have God and Christians on their side.

For the month of June, we're asking Christians to sign this pledge, which will be delivered to the President of Israel and will show that Christians in America are not only standing in solidarity, but they are speaking up as well.

Let's make the stand today with International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

This is just one more opportunity for us as Americans and Christians to be on the right side of history.

you can sign the pledge now at supportifcj.org.

Supportifcj.org.

The rest of the world is abandoning Israel right now.

Let's not be on that bandwagon.

Supportifcj.org is the place to go.

Take a stand today with supportifcj.org.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today, triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

Anybody who's into college sports

should know that college sports are about to radically change.

They've already changed quite a bit.

A little bit.

I've noticed some changes over the past couple of years.

Yes, a lot.

They've changed a lot, but they're going to change a lot more.

I heard that Cal is in the ACC.

Yes.

Yes.

Cal Meanburg, California.

Yes.

Is in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

That's correct.

So is Stanford.

That makes a lot of sense.

It doesn't it, though?

Yeah.

And Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA, all in the Big Ten.

So they'll be playing back East a lot, like Pennsylvania, and they'll be playing Penn State.

They'll play Ohio State.

They'll play Rutgers.

I mean, there's going to be a lot of cross-country trips.

And I'm wondering if

that's sustainable, frankly, because that's a lot of travel and a lot of expense and a lot of wear and tear on your body.

I don't know.

I don't know

if that'll last or they'll find out, you know what, this was really impractical.

We shouldn't have done this.

Of course it won't last.

None of these conferences haven't been staying the same for a long time.

You no longer have those

like, you know, static conferences where you have these like real battles between rivals, right?

Like so many of them have dissolved over the years.

It's one of the reasons why

I think it's not as good as it once was.

But that's just one of the big I mean, the conference alignment is like the smallest piece of this puzzle.

Yeah, that's right.

The NIL money, the name, image, and likeness, they now pay the players for their name, image, and likeness.

Or you can, but not all players are being paid.

Starting next year,

the NCAA was just sued because

former players sued them because they weren't getting paid.

They didn't get the NIL, and they were denied all of that.

So they lost a $2.8 bill, I think it was $2.8 billion lawsuit.

So they're going to have to pay these 14,000 former athletes

from this pool of almost $3 billion.

And what came out of that is that

now the colleges can pay the athletes directly.

And that could be, they think it's going to be around $20 million a year that they can spread out among all the football players, basketball players,

whoever else they pay, hockey players, tennis, baseball, whatever sport you do,

you can pay your athletes now or not.

That'll be beginning next year.

And it's just going to change everything so drastically.

Essentially, what's happening is that college sports are becoming minor league for the

major professional leagues now.

Right, which is not great.

I don't like it.

Because

the minor leagues have.

They didn't ask me about it, though.

They did not clear it.

They didn't clear it with you?

They did not clear it.

I thought you signed off on this.

No, I hadn't.

That's the problem.

I hadn't.

So it should be stopped.

Because the minor leagues are great, obviously, for certain reasons, but people don't, you know, they're not obsessed with them.

They are obsessed with college football.

Yes.

So

the question, I guess, is once you turn it into a minor league, does it just become less interesting professional baseball, which is just not

something that people care about.

We already have minor league.

We already have a, you know,

the UFL exists and people don't really watch it.

And, you know, there's other basketball leagues that people don't watch and minor league baseball that people don't really watch.

They're not that interested in it.

They want to see either the best amateurs or the best professionals, not the second best professionals.

It's really true.

It's really true.

So it's going to change, fundamentally change college athletics.

And the other thing they're doing is apparently they're going to limit the roster size a little bit for football, especially because there's 120 roster spots now

on the big schools rosters.

That is a lot.

They're going to bring it down to either 100 or maybe even 85.

But it looks like everybody on the team will be under scholarship.

And that's not the case now.

There's usually 30 or 40 guys who are just what they call walk-ons.

They didn't get a scholarship, but they came and tried out for the team, made the team, and they're there.

Wow, that's part of the charm.

Yeah, I love it.

How many movies have you made about walk-on football players?

Yeah.

And how many times have walk-ons gone to the NFL and

done really well?

Not a lot, but

some.

Yeah.

And that's a great part of the story, right?

It is.

It is.

I don't know why you'd mess that up.

Now, I am of the belief.

I don't know how, I don't know if we've ever talked about this, but I'm of the belief that the Supreme Court was right in that you cannot limit people from going out and signing their name.

autographs after they're, you know, like, you know, a great football player goes to school, they get a scholarship, they're unpaid, and then they can't go out and make an appearance for a few thousand dollars at a car wash, you know, like I'm sorry, like you can't, that's like just unconstitutional limiting of people's lives.

You don't get to control their lives like that.

Yeah.

If they want to go out and get another job and they want to, you know, and that job is making public appearances because they're really good football player, you can't stop them from doing that.

I think they were correct on that.

The NIL thing is, I think, is right.

But this is just changing the entire structure of the sport.

Yeah.

And it's going to hurt the smaller schools who can't afford to pay $20 million to their athletes.

So

you're either going to have to pay the $20 or $22 million, whatever it winds up being in the end.

You're going to either have to do it or you won't be able to compete because

the big schools will get all the best players because they'll offer them a lot of money.

What's the reasoning for the NFL to care if you went to college and got paid?

There was always this idea that you had to go to school and you'd have this development and you'd go through that process at least one or two years of college before you come to the pros.

Why would that relationship exist anymore?

Why wouldn't they just go to a minor league

sport

franchise?

And then it does strike me as like at the end of this, college football is like 12 teams

that actually matter.

Like there's probably...

Yeah, well, you're going to wind up with just a bunch of really wealthy schools that buy all the players.

Yeah.

And they'll form their own conference.

Form their own conference.

There'll be that super conference thing, and then there'll be really nothing else outside of that.

I don't know.

Maybe it's 30 schools.

I don't know.

But it's not that many.

I feel like

that entire structure goes away.

Kyle Whittingham, who's the coach of the godless animals, University of Utah,

said yesterday when he was interviewed,

I could promise you right now, there are even bigger and more changes to come.

You're going to see the minor league model for college athletics.

What he's saying is it's going to be the minor leagues for all the professional sports.

You're going to see super conferences.

You're going to see a salary cap.

And in two to five years, it's going to be so different, you won't even recognize it.

Well,

I don't want it to be that different where I love it.

We kind of like it, don't we?

Yeah.

I love it.

I kind of like college football, kind of like college basketball.

But everybody's saying, look, you might as as well not complain about it because it's a terrain that already left the station.

Yeah.

So it's already done.

It's a done deal.

And the other thing is, what about Title IX?

So if you start paying athletes, are you going to have to pay exactly the same to the women's sports that you do to the men's?

If not, we'll hear about it.

I'll tell you.

You sure will.

But yeah, Title IX would be, that would be, again, they use Title IX for everything, but that would be about as close to

a pure violation of Title IX as possible.

I think Title IX is dumb, by the way, for a lot of this stuff.

I mean, to be honest about it.

But still,

it is something that I've got.

You can see the handwriting on the wall already.

I mean, that's what's going to happen.

They're going to insist that you pay women's sports, even though women's sports, just frankly, aren't as possible.

They're not as popular as football.

And they might be someday.

Who knows?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I just doubt it right now.

But I will say, Caitlin Clark, I mean, had the highest-rated basketball game of any,

how many years was it?

Five or six years, including the NBA finals?

Yeah, that's amazing.

Which is an incredible, I mean, that's an incredible statement.

It can happen.

I mean, like, look, there are certain sports that

women do really well on.

You know, like, we're, I mean, women's tennis has always been pretty popular.

You know, I mean, I, there's, that's certainly something.

They're pretty well paid.

They do pretty well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, they do pretty darn well.

Um, you know, you're starting to see a little bit of this bubble up in the WNBA.

And what can they, what do they do as you're seeing all this attention go to the WNBA finally, after all these years of it just fledgling and just being just you know supported by the actual league that profits the NBA yeah they're in the middle of negotiating this contract

for TV rights which they are now going to get which is incredible two and a half times as much money as they got in their last TV deal the ratings are going down

Down what they're getting because no no one I mean they're going down less than the rest of the programming that's on television.

And so they're getting two and a half times as much for NBA games for fewer games with the ratings going down.

ESPN, I think, if I remember this right, is paying like a 100% premium on what they paid last time for half the games.

For the NBA or

for the NBA.

But the reason I brought up that negotiation is because right now, to show you

what not a big deal the WNBA is, it's just lumped in to that negotiation.

So when they negotiate the NBA contract, it's like, ah, you also get the WNBA.

And then the NBA just gets to do a press release going, by the way, the $100 million of this was WNBA money.

They're just making that up.

It's all just in this giant deal.

It's kind of a fascinating structure, but the point is that they can't even stand on their own to get their own TV contract.

Now, all this was obviously happening before Caitlin Clark became a thing, and that would have been maybe a motivation to take it out a little bit wider.

But at the end of the day, what is the WNBA doing with this gift they've been given of Caitlin Clark?

They're complaining about it constantly and targeting her and trying to injure her on the floor.

Treating her like garbage.

Yeah.

Really.

And it's interesting because the NBA is a $10 billion a year revenue generator.

$10 billion.

Now, up until this point, the WNBA has been a $60 million

event.

And to be clear, that number is the number that comes from the NBA when they just make it up and they say,

$60 million of this is the WNBA.

It's not even a real number.

Not even that.

Yeah, it's just like they're breaking up a chunk of that big deal.

Yeah.

But this new one, they're saying, is going to be $76 billion over 11 years for the TV deal?

For the TV deal?

Oh, my gosh.

Don't get the kind of ratings that warrant that.

No,

They don't at all.

Was that the NBC deal?

When they went from TBS, right?

So TBS, yeah, it looks like TBS, there's a multi-part deal.

Part of it, Amazon got involved.

They're getting some games now.

Oh.

ESPN is already locked in, is my understanding.

And then there's sort of a battle between Turner

and

NBC.

NBC.

offered, I think, $2.5 billion for their part of it.

Wow.

And TNT offered, had was on, they were talking about like 2.1 or something like that.

And so they want it 2.5.

My understanding is Turner has a right to match that, though.

So it's possible they could still get it back.

But right now it looks like NBC is going to get it.

Bottom line is, you know, you've got a bunch of,

it's a nice way, it's a nice place to be in if you're the NBA, because what else do people watch on television anymore other than live sports?

All the rest of it can be, you know, is consumed in different ways.

Like they skip commercials and, you know, all that stuff.

Live sports, you can't do that with.

And what was it last year?

Something like of the top 100 TV shows, 80 of them?

No, it's 93.

93 of them were the NFL.

NFL games.

And 24 of the top 25?

Incredible.

I think it was.

Incredible.

Like what?

How?

And they only got $10 billion for their TV deal.

And they did it, what, three years ago?

Imagine how much they would get in today's market when the NBA is getting $7 billion?

It's obscene.

Incredible.

We maybe get into today, Pat, there's been some developments in the Hunter Biden situation about his trial, of course.

Yeah.

But also his art.

Oh.

Do you know that

all he wanted, Pat, was to be able to paint?

Is that all he wanted?

All he wanted.

I didn't a lot of times paint

in cocaine on strippers' bellies, but

he wanted to just paint.

It was his version of painting.

Yeah.

All he wanted to do was paint and make $500,000 of painting, painting, and they won't even give him that.

They won't even.

It's not like he was asking $500 million per painting.

Right.

That would be a little absurd.

Excessive.

The story,

we should get it.

I don't know if we have...

How much time do we have here?

Only a minute.

Okay, we get it.

We do this.

It's so good.

There's so many details in there that don't make any sense to me, Pat.

That don't make any sense to me.

I don't, and I wish this is one day I wish Glenn Beck was here because here's a guy who actually is selling very expensive paintings across the country.

Glenn's been doing this for a long time, actually

seems to be a talented painter.

Just, I, I, I hesitate to say that because it makes me uncomfortable to call him talented.

But no, like, he's been doing this for a while, and you have these relationships with these galleries, and this is a weird world.

The art world's a weird world from, from beginning to end to me.

I don't understand it.

I have no, certainly no ability in the realm, but also I just don't, like, who are the people buying, hundred thousand dollar paintings.

I don't even

understand what that world is.

It seems crazy to me.

And if I had the hundred thousand dollars to blow on a painting, the last thing I would buy with it would be a painting,

unless, of course, it was Hunter Biden.

Potentially,

maybe you can snort the painting when it's Hunter Biden.

I don't know.

Maybe that's the value.

But we have some interesting details about these paintings we've never known before.

We'll have that coming up for you right here on the Glenn Beck program.

I tell you.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

With Patton Stewart today and all week, we got to get into the Hunter Biden situation.

First of all, he's on trial for his gun charge right now.

Also,

news on his art.

Get into

some of his art.

I mean, I wish Glenn were here for this because

he was one of the top 100 people in art, one of the most important artists in the country a few years ago.

It was number 12?

Yeah, not one of the most

100 most.

It was actually exactly number one.

100.

But he's on the list.

But he's on the list.

I wasn't on the list.

I wasn't either.

Neither one of us made that list, but Glenn did.

It's too bad he's not here today, but we'll have to do the art discussion without him.

We'll get to that in one minute.

All right, never forget to keep your eyes on the prize.

That kind of mentality you have to have when you're making big, important decisions in your life.

So when it's time for you to buy or sell a home, or both, It's also the mentality you're going to want to have in your real estate agent.

Because if you have an agent who is know anything short of a perfectionist and a hard worker you're just begging to get less for the home that you're selling or to pay more for the one you're buying and you don't want that to happen a little over a decade ago when glenn was named the 100th most important person in the world of bar it was right around that time that he started realestate agents i trust.com and you know look he sets up the best agents in your area with you it's called realestate agents i trust.com for obvious reasons and you should check them out today whether you're moving across town or across the country or if if you just have questions that need answering, they can help you.

So today is day three of the Hunter Biden gun trial.

And for the first two days, I don't know if she's showing up today, but Jill Biden has been there.

She was there for the jury selection, and she showed up again yesterday staring staring down the jury.

And there are people who are saying she's there for an intimidation factor.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, she's there for support, Pat.

Just like Joe Biden went to Hallie Biden's house, right?

Because

you understand how important was the pre-anniversary.

It was the pre-nine-year anniversary.

Uh-huh.

So almost nine years since the death of Joe Biden's son, Bo,

who Hallie celebrated that death with sleeping with Hunter.

Right.

The brother.

Yes.

So

she was married to Bo.

This is while he was doing the illegal gun purchases?

Well, yes.

She's actually the reason.

So if you kind of trace this story back,

Bo Biden passes away.

The obvious response to that, if you're

a aggrieved lover, is to sleep with the broken body.

It's to break with the brother, obviously.

Yeah, obviously.

And I remember how awkward that was when

the Bidens had to release a statement on that.

Oh, God, that was just one of the most awkward things.

Yeah, we're okay.

We're happy that they're happy.

Of course, that didn't really work out.

Hunter went on to, you know, to impregnate some strippers.

But they were happy for about a minute and a half.

Minute and a half.

And during that time, they were both doing crack, we should point out.

Okay.

Both

on the crack.

And then as Hunter was battling the crack addiction,

and this is part of the trial that is up for debate, but Hunter is claiming he was not addicted to drugs at this time.

Of course, every other piece of evidence we have indicates that he was addicted to crack at this time.

And he purchased a gun.

She found the gun and decided to just throw it away.

Might as well.

Might as well face it.

You're addicted to crack.

Remember the song?

Yeah, I do.

Might as well face it.

You're addicted to it.

You're addicted to crack.

And that's

what he felt.

So she dropped the gun off in some disposal unit, some trash can or a dumpster or something.

It was was found, and that's how these case, these charges eventually were brought.

I heard a podcast this morning discussing this, and they're like, well, I mean, if Joe Biden's just, you know, controlling the Department of Justice, he's doing a bad job.

His own son is being tried.

Did you miss the entire news cycle where they tried to slip through a deal that would have exonerated him from all of these crimes?

Did you miss the news cycle where that was discussed?

I mean, they blatantly tried to make this go away.

It did not go away just because one judge, one good judge, actually decided to look at the details of the paperwork.

I mean, that is really the only reason we're here.

And honestly, the gun crime is lower on the list for me than the tax stuff, which I really hope they get to because, man, that guy did not pay a lot of taxes.

Or alimony or

alimony or child support for that matter.

His ex-wife is owed, was it $1.5 million, something like that?

It was somewhere between $1 and $3 million

in alimony he owes her

and child support.

And yeah, is that the Stripper Wife or the other wife?

No, that's the other wife.

The other wife.

The stripper wife, they had some sort of agreement with.

Well, he gave her some paintings.

She did.

And she seemed to take care of everything because they're so, so, so, so valuable.

I will say one thing, if you have not heard this little detail, I think you're going to like, is we have a tell-all book coming out from Stripper Wife.

Oh, I can't wait.

Which is going to be really fun.

I can't wait.

That is coming out during the Democratic National Convention.

I kid you not.

That is when they're releasing it for maximum impact, obviously.

So that will be an interesting one to see.

I love that.

But you brought up the paintings.

Pat, and I'm so glad you did.

You know, as Hunter Biden's life and business dealings have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, leading to this week's trial on gun charges.

The president's son has said he hoped to keep one part of his life unscathed.

His art.

Oh, wow.

This is from the New York Times, by the way.

My heart is just beginning to bleed.

Yeah, right?

Yes, that's the same thing.

Yes, I was.

Well,

bleeding from my eyes.

Bleeding from my eyes.

Yeah.

Okay.

You were bleeding from your heart.

From my heart.

From your heart.

Yeah.

Well, it hasn't worked out that way, Pat.

Oh, no.

Mr.

Biden.

That's why I'm bleeding from my heart.

Mr.

Biden, who who began to paint in earnest as he lifted himself out of his crack cocaine addiction, started attracting attention for his art three years ago after a Manhattan gallery selling his works claimed they were being offered up for $500,000 apiece.

This is a great, you know, you know how sometimes words in a sentence can do a lot of work, they can do a lot of heavy lifting.

Here's an example of that.

Mr.

The high price tag, $500,000 painting, rare for a novice artist.

You know, the heavy lifting the word rare is doing in that particular sentence is just incredible.

But yes, $500,000 a painting is rare for a novice artist.

Race, I mean, has it ever occurred?

Rare is an interesting word.

Has it ever occurred that a novice, the first time they're out there selling their art, 500 grand a pop?

Well, if his name was Hunter Van Gogh,

Hunter Monet?

Yeah.

I don't know, but it's not.

I'll say like if Taylor Swift had a painting,

her first painting.

I don't even think it had to be like she's so famous, maybe it overcomes it.

But $500,000 for Hunter Biden.

There is an asterisk to this, though.

It's interesting.

So it's rare for a novice artist to get 500K in case you're not into the art world.

And it raised questions about whether the works could attract buyers seeking to curry favor with the Biden administration.

Now, I I don't know where you get those ideas.

I know it's crazy.

He's writing this right-wing drivel.

The New York Times.

But in the end, Pat, we have some news if you don't know this.

In the end, Mr.

Biden's paintings fetched far less.

Oh, wow.

Yes.

Did they?

His New York gallery was.

Like $450,000, that kind of.

No, a little less than that.

Less than that.

He testified to Congress that the widely reported $500,000 asking prices that were attributed to the gallery, including in two emails to the New York Times, one of which was sent in his name,

so it seems like maybe they're the cause of this.

They had not been accurate.

He said the top price he had received for Mr.

Biden's work had, in fact, been only $85,000.

What a disappointment.

You know, I will say, you know what is interesting about $85,000, that's rare for a novice artist.

That's what I would say.

Yeah.

Rare for a novice artist.

Yeah.

Now listen to this detail, and there's no addressing this in the New York Times story, but

and I really wish Glenn was here today because this is the ultimate question to ask Glenn because he would actually know this.

He said the top price was $85,000.

In all, the gallery sold about $1.5 million worth of his art.

I'm just going to throw this in.

Rare for a novice artist.

They sell $1.5 million.

This is according to a tally during a hearing that the gallerist did not dispute.

Mr.

Biden's earnings proved more modest than the early hype had suggested.

He reported $130,984 in gross income from art sales during the first two tax years he was represented by the gallery.

Now,

I don't know

how these gallery listings work.

I don't have a gallery.

I don't understand this world.

If you happen to have your own art gallery, we'd love to hear from you.

Triple 8727 Beck.

If you've been in this world, maybe you're a novice artist that can only get $75,000 per painting.

Maybe you're,

even that level of experience would be interesting to me today, Pat.

It would, but we'd have to mock you.

It's pathetic.

You're selling your stuff for only $75,000 a piece?

Pathetic.

What kind of slob are you?

But

I would be interested to hear from you because my understanding of how this works is you are putting up your stuff in a gallery.

The gallery's showing it.

They're probably getting some commission off of that, right?

Like, you know, and then you get the rest back, right?

I guess it's 90%.

Over.

90%.

Over 90%.

Yeah, no.

He sold $1.5 million of art and got $130,000 for it.

Absolutely.

Can't be true, right?

There's no

way that's accurate.

And that's before taxes.

So $130,000, and that's two years.

Maybe that includes paying for the paint and the brushes, though.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

You got to get a lot of brushes.

You got to get the materials.

Got to get a lot of brushes.

It's got to be another $35,000, $40.

Right.

So

now you might think to yourself, gosh,

even making $130,000, that's got to be rare for a novice artist.

Wouldn't you say?

I would.

But when you look at the details of it, it gets even more interesting.

The biggest buyer of the Biden art was Kevin Morris, a Hollywood lawyer.

who described himself in congressional testimony as a friend of the sugar daddy.

The sugar daddy, right?

This is the sugar daddy guy.

What the hell is going on with this guy?

This is really weird.

He's he's in previous news stories.

We've learned this guy has lent Hunter Biden over $7 million

for what?

For being on crack?

And why?

And why?

What is going on there?

This guy's a Hollywood lawyer.

Now, remember, the total was $1.5 million.

All right.

This guy has bought 11 paintings of Hunter Biden's worth $875,000.

So more than half of all the money has gone to this guy who has also lent the same

artist over $7 million.

What the hell is going on here?

So weird.

So weird.

By the way, 11

paintings, $875,000.

I mean, what's the average there?

80, you know, $70 something thousand dollars, like almost the highest price.

He's basically been buying these for more than anyone else is buying them for.

A lawyer for Mr.

Morris said in a January letter that Mr.

Morris had spent more than $6.5 million, almost $7 million, including paying his back taxes and resolving a paternity lawsuit by the mother of Mr.

Biden's fourth child.

So

weird.

Wow.

What is going on there?

You cannot tell me this guy's just a buddy.

He's not just like, hey, how many millions of dollars do you need right now?

Don't you have a sugar buddy?

I thought almost everybody did.

You have one?

No, I've got.

Of course I've got a sugar buddy.

How many do you have?

12.

12.

12 sugar buddies.

I didn't know sugar buddies were even things.

I did not even know.

I didn't even know.

I've heard of sugar daddies.

I've heard of sugar mamas.

I've never heard of

sugar buddies.

Yeah, yeah.

It goes way back.

Some sugar buddies will

pay you to be friends.

That's how that works.

Yes.

And my friendship is pretty valuable.

I would agree.

I think it is a valuable thing, but I've never paid you.

How much are you getting paid?

Not yet.

Not yet.

So you're trying to convert me into a sugar buddy?

Is that really how this is going to go?

Wow.

I'm learning lots.

I am fascinated by this arrangement.

I mean, look, my mind can jump to 100 different conclusions as to what's going on here.

Yeah.

But like, it's never even been...

The only explanations to this arrangement haven't even been accused.

Right.

Like, I can't, I can think of some reasons, but like, they haven't, no one's said any of those things are the reason.

And there's almost nobody talking about this.

No, no, Sugar Buddy.

Nobody knows about that.

Nobody knows about Hunter Sugar Buddy.

How can that not be a thing that people are talking about?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Because it's very, very weird.

It's very weird.

Okay, let me tell you about Car Shield real quick.

10 seconds station ID.

I mean, what would be the logical, reasonable explanation for the sugar buddy?

I mean, just good friends, and he felt really bad that Hunter lost a job in Ukraine that he was making him like $1.5 million

a year

inexplicably for no reason.

And they go way back, they're like childhood buddies.

Let's just say it was not $7 million, but it was $50,000.

You could see a situation.

Look, I like his dad.

I like his policies.

He's in a tough time.

I got a bunch of money.

I'll throw him $50,000.

If it was, even, I don't know, maybe it was Elon Musk.

$6.5 million, not a big deal at all.

Maybe he'd help somebody out he liked.

This guy is saying he's out of money.

He spent

all of his money.

Yeah, he's got no more.

Helping Hunter Biden.

What the hell is actually going on here?

What is going on here?

Why?

And why is nobody asking?

Is no one asking?

It's a great question, Pat.

Yeah.

Why?

I mean, if they're going to ask somebody, they should ask you.

You've got 12 sugar buddies of your own.

What is a sugar buddy?

How is it happening?

I mean, it seems like a great thing to have, I will admit.

It is.

If someone was just going to give me $6.5 million to just be friends and hang out every once in a while, I mean, I probably could tolerate it.

Yeah.

But, man, I don't, that's a weird arrangement.

It is.

You know, you ever, you ever, do you ever go on these?

Um, uh, there's like the Reddit, Reddit has a scam forum.

Like, it's so like they have those little subreddits that like discuss all these different things.

And I signed up to, I was reading this, the scam

forum.

And every single day, it's the same stuff.

It's the same scams, the same exact thing.

Like,

I was on the Instagram and someone offered me $12,000 a month just to text with them.

Is it a scam?

Yes.

What?

It's always a scam.

Every single thing posted in the forum is always a scam.

I mean, it's in the forum called scams.

You'd think that would make sense.

Oh,

I had a picture that I posted, and someone said they wanted to paint me and offer me $5,000.

Is this a scam?

Yes.

I just started talking to someone, and they said they wanted me to

invest in their unnamed

cryptocurrency scam that I've never heard of.

Is this a scam?

Yes, it's always a scam.

That's the lesson.

I have the same feeling reading this.

This guy giving $6.5 million to the president's son and buying 11 of his paintings for $875,000 when he has now no more money left.

The only explanation for this

outside of their hooking up with each other, which again has not been alleged.

Something sexual.

Something sexual could motivate some of this type of behavior potentially or

political favor to the president.

Yep.

It's the only thing.

None of it makes any sense.

It's two ways to go with that.

It's the only two things that make any sense.

And how many times have I read an article?

Well, they're just friends.

What are you talking about?

I guarantee you, Hunter Biden's not worth $7 million sexually.

So it's got to be the other alternative.

I don't know.

I've seen some of the pictures.

He looks like a pretty hot.

Pretty hot.

Sometimes you can't avoid the pictures.

I know.

That's true.

And it's unfortunate.

Well, I mean, how does this compare?

Like, what's the top amount you get from one of your sugar buddies, Pat?

One of your 12.

I cap it at about two.

At about two million.

Two million a piece.

Okay.

That's interesting.

Well, you got 12.

But I got 12 of them.

So I have a 24 mil.

Right.

That's interesting.

If you have any ideas as to what could possibly be going on here, I would love to hear them.

You know, the trustworthiness of Dr.

Anthony Fauci has been up for debate for a long time.

I think you and I know that despite the media's campaign to defend his character, there's a lot of suspicious stuff going on behind the scenes.

We know that he lied about COVID.

We know that statistics were inflated.

And we know that Fauci is tied into all of it.

And

he's been tied into other things as well over the years, dating all the way back to the 80s.

If scientists, doctors, or journalists spoke out against Dr.

Fauci, they were silenced immediately.

But why?

What is the COVID mafia trying to hide?

And how was the messaging so perfectly coordinated so quickly?

Our government failed us.

The press failed us.

And Fauci got away with all of it.

And I should note that

Glenn is in the Radio Hall of Fame.

He's in the Radio Hall of Fame for a reason.

He always has perfect knowledge of the facts just at his fingertips.

And you notice that over the years, right?

Oh, yeah.

Big time.

Yeah.

He's always done all the research and always knows every little bit of a story.

He's never

just overlooked the detail.

Yeah, right.

Right.

This never happened.

No.

And that's why, and I'm not in the Radio Hall of Fame.

No, neither am I.

I'm not even, it doesn't seem like I'm even on the fringe.

Pat might be on the fringe.

I'm not even on the fringe.

And this is a good reason why.

I missed in the story, I was talking about Kevin Morris, this lawyer who's just inexplicably

to the tune of $6.50, $7 million.

Yes, and $875,000 in paintings.

He bought 11 paintings for $875,000 from Hunter Biden.

And you might say, well, there's got to be some explanation.

What is the explanation?

And we kept saying,

I can't think of one.

But what happened was I didn't read far enough into the article.

And that's the mistake that you make when you're not in the Radio Hall of Fame.

You do things like that.

That's how you don't get into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Carelessness.

Carelessness.

So he has actually an explanation in here,

which explains the entire thing, not just the art, but the entire sugar buddy situation, I think.

Quote,

I like like to support first-time artists.

Wow.

Well, there you go.

There you go.

I should have seen that

instantly.

He said.

And we might not have even talked about it because it was so obvious.

The man likes to support first-time artists.

Yeah.

All right.

I mean, he wants to support first-time artists.

That first-time artist has he spent $7 million on.

I would assume a lot of them.

A lot of them?

A lot of them.

Yeah.

You know, he probably has been constantly

looking for hey you know hey that's why he's broke now because he's first time so many first-time artists to the tune of seven million dollars now he's tapped out warehouse after warehouse after warehouse with just like you know doodles from children uh random people drawing on napkins and 11 hunter biden paintings for 875 000

That totally makes sense.

It does now.

Now it does.

He likes to support first-time artists.

I'm really disappointed in myself for even thinking that there was a presidential favor thing,

access to the president sort of angle on that.

Does sort of

feel like that would be part of it, but no, they're just sugar buddies/slash first-time artist supporters.

I mean, seriously,

how many times do you say this to yourself in a day, Pat?

How could anyone believe this?

I say it all the time.

All the time.

I can't stop saying,

How could anyone believe this?

This is being presented as if it's the truth.

This guy, he just met at seemingly like a party, and he felt bad for him.

This is the telling in the story, felt bad for him because he was unemployed and decided to loan him over the period of years $7 million.

And not $7 million of his multi-billion dollar fortune, but $7 million of his $7 million fortune.

Guys, this is not a thing.

Wow.

This This is not a thing.

This is not a thing that exists.

It's not an arrangement that exists.

Not a thing that happens unless you add in additional

parts of it, which in this particular case happens to be he likes to support first-time artists.

I mean, what is going on?

I ask again.

And by the way, they do get into some detail on the art split, which I think is pretty interesting.

Again,

here's a guy who is currently on trial for gun charges, has all sorts of problems with taxes as well.

Okay,

we all know that.

That's part of the Hunter Biden story.

The IRS, sorry,

Kevin Morris paid millions of dollars in taxes for Hunter Biden.

Again, very strange.

But in this story, they discussed that he sold $1.5 million in art and in income to Hunter Biden, not $1.5 million, but $130,000,

which is what 8%?

Yeah.

So he had an 892 split with the gallery?

Probably not.

Probably not.

Probably not.

But as someone who's wanting to enter the Radio Hall of Fame someday, Pat,

I have uncovered some of the details of the split.

The gallery's first contract with Mr.

Biden gave Ms.

Phillips 10% of the net proceeds from his art and and described her as an artist's agent.

This is Lynette Phillips.

She's a music video producer who hosted a fundraiser for President Biden in 2019.

She bought, by the way, 11 of the works and it said that she first met Mr.

Biden at Mrs.

Phillips or Mr.

Morris, who bought the 11 works, met at the Ms.

Phillips fundraiser.

So again, to set this up, Phillips is a big fundraiser for Biden.

They're at a fundraiser together.

This other guy, the sugar buddy, steps into the picture and then is like, I feel bad.

He's got people, paparazzi, taking pictures of him, and he doesn't have a job.

Here's $7 million.

Okay, that's what we're supposed to believe.

Then Phillips gets 10% of the net proceeds from the art as the agent.

A second contract,

which is fascinating.

This is between Hunter Biden and the gallery.

No agent fees.

Specifies a 60-40 split

between the gallery and Mr.

Biden.

Now, I am not a mathematician here.

But the numbers aren't seeming to add up.

No, they shouldn't.

Do I need to do this on a calculator?

Because just in my head, that seems like

tax evasion to me.

It does.

I am not accusing him of that because I don't have all the records.

But I will say, based on this reporting,

it seems like, as Harry Reid might say,

it doesn't seem like he paid his taxes.

Yeah.

Again.

Again, again, I don't know.

Maybe there's some other detail that the New York Times is missing.

The only other detail that could possibly explain it is if they're lying about the total take not being one and a half billion.

Maybe they're overselling it.

But the one guy purchased $875,000 worth.

And we have a woman in here as well, who I think it's a woman.

Another buyer, William Jacques,

spent $122,000.

So we got $875.

I'm going to add this up.

$875.

And $122.

So now you're at $875.

This is another one, too.

$997.

Right.

Plus, $122.

$9.97.

So you're at $1 million now.

And then Elizabeth Hirsch.

Okay, 40% split on just a million.

Right.

$400,000.

Another buyer whose purchases have drawn notice is Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, a real estate investor and Democratic donor.

Once again, all these people are Democratic donors, who's contributed regularly to the Biden campaign.

She purchased two of Biden's paintings, buying at least one of them before the president appointed her to an unpaid position on the U.S.

Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.

Incredible.

Mr.

Nafs Naftali.

How is this not known?

How is this not a bigger deal?

How has nobody tracked this down in mainstream media?

Yeah, I mean, I guess the New York Times has done some of this work.

They don't seem to be skeptical of any of these arrangements.

They're not even, I mean, that's not what this is about.

No, really.

It's really not.

It's more about how

he can't believe his art time got taken away from him.

But Ms.

Naftali spent $42,000 and $52,000 on these paintings.

So that's another $94,000.

Bringing a grand total

of $1.091 million.

If you go to

now, it said $60,040,000.

I think that means Biden Hunter gets 60% of it.

I think.

But let's just say he gets only 40%.

That would still be $436,000 in which he reported on his taxes, according to the New York Times, $130,000, which is, you know, a little bit more than a third of his actual income, if this reporting is accurate.

Now, I don't know if it's accurate.

I didn't do the reporting.

It's very possible the New York Times has just made 35 mistakes in this article.

I mean, I would not

put it past that.

But gosh, it just seems like maybe the truth is that Hunter Biden isn't paying his taxes or isn't paying them.

to the level that he should be paying them.

And it certainly seems like multiple people have been funneling money to Hunter Biden through his artwork and other forms like sugar buddy arrangements.

And getting placed by the president in key positions.

Yeah, I mean, it's.

I mean, at least one of them.

At least one of them has been placed at a position.

I mean, I don't know how high profile it is, but still, it is.

How high profile is it going to be for what, $70,000 or whatever?

Yeah, it wasn't that much.

But still, you know, you get some kind of position out of that.

I mean, I will say,

as a person

who did apply for a position on the U.S.

Commission for the Preservation of Native American Heritage Abroad, I was in the running for that position.

Were you?

Oh, I didn't realize that.

And now I find out that she spent $94,000 on these paintings and got that gig.

Where does that leave me?

You know, I was trying to do this the right way, Pat.

I was like, you know what?

I'm pissed on your behalf.

Thank you.

I really am.

How many times have I talked about wanting to be on the U.S.

Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad?

I've said this a hundred times.

If you listen to my show, Studos America, I do a segment every day called The Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.

People call me on a regular basis and say, Pat, can you please talk to Stu about backing off?

Oh, really?

They think I would do too much a little bit too much.

Yeah, I just have a real passion for America's heritage, particularly when it's abroad.

Yes,

and I want to preserve it.

I don't blame you.

You know, I've been thinking,

how do I preserve this abroad?

Like,

for example, as you know, I've been thinking for a long time, how do we get copies of the Federalist Papers into Inner Mongolia?

Yeah.

I've been trying to get that done for a really long time.

Long time.

But I can't do it without a commission slot.

No.

Right?

So I've worked my entire life to get on this commission.

Yeah.

And now I find out that this woman is just buying paintings to get on there.

It's wrong.

It's flat out wrong.

It's wrong.

Do we we or do we not care about America's heritage abroad?

No, we do.

Being preserved.

I do.

You do, I know.

Yes, I know you do.

But I'm asking America as a whole.

America's heritage is

not abroad enough.

Right.

And when it is, it's not preserved.

Exactly right.

It's preserved at a lower rate than it should be preserved.

All right.

Well, we join hands with Pre-Born, the largest pro-life organization in the country that sponsors ultrasounds for clinics in the highest abortion rate areas.

When a mom is considering abortion, when she meets her baby on an ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, it doubles the baby's chance for life.

By the time I finish this ad, two babies will have been taken by this tragedy.

$28 could be the difference between life and death.

Please choose life.

Join the fight by sponsoring one or two or even 200 ultrasounds.

All gifts are tax-deductible.

To donate, dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

That's pound250, keyword baby, or go to their site, preborn.com/slash beck.

Are some people claiming that Joe Biden last week visited

Hallie Biden, Bo's widow?

And

they were saying that he, well, the administration says he was there for the anniversary

in advance of the anniversary of Bo's death, the ninth anniversary of his death.

Well, that's what you do

with an anniversary.

Yeah, like especially a big one like the ninth.

Is the ninth a big one?

Oh, huge.

Yeah.

Huge one.

And really, it's not even the day of the ninth anniversary.

It's a few days before.

Yeah, several days before.

And that's when you celebrate.

She's about to testify in the gun trial.

Really?

Nothing to do with it.

I had no idea that was even.

Yeah, I know.

That's what I sensed from you was that you had no idea that the the testifying thing was about to happen.

But yes, even though that had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Nothing to do.

They didn't even bring that up, her testimony in the trial of his son, Hunter.

And of course, if the opposite were true, if it was a Trump trial and the president of the United States came to the title of the United States,

they would then

definitely also give Trump the benefit of the doubt on that, that he wasn't trying to intimidate a word.

Right.

And how about if Trump is lying about, say, one of his sons who died and claiming that his son died in battle in Iraq when he didn't, when he died of cancer in the United States of America, I'm sure they'd completely forgive that too and not even bring that up.

Yeah, no.

Just as they did with Biden.

My son was a major U.S.

Army.

No, he didn't lose him in Iraq.

That is not accurate.

But they don't cover any of that.

They don't talk about any of that.

And they just buy it when he says, no, no, we were there to talk about the anniversary of Bo's death.

Hmm.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Very interesting.

He's apparently very into this trial, by the way, Joe Biden.

He's not at the actual location, which would be a circus, obviously.

But he is very much in touch with him, watching as it develops, you know, on top of it.

Of course, he, I mean, my belief is that he tried to get him off through this deal earlier, and it didn't work.

So he's very invested.

Absolutely.
