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

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Today, featuring Pat and Stu,

Stu missed the whole Trump verdict.

And then...

Yeah, what happened?

Yeah, this is amazing.

You're going to be surprised.

I am because, I mean, I watched the case.

There's like nothing.

They had no evidence.

It was a joke.

So obviously he was fine.

Well, we'll get you caught up on that.

And of course, Anthony Fauci appeared before Congress yesterday.

That was some fun.

Get into that and lots more.

Coming up in one minute.

Well, you have to declare a lot of things when you're traveling on a plane.

Guns, ammunition, knives, swords.

I know typically, Pat, you usually travel with swords.

A lot of times.

A lot of times you do, but you have to usually...

Samurai swords, usually.

yeah yeah but you have to declare those right when you're on a plane yeah you do you do they don't usually like at least they don't let you get in a carry-on no stuff no but you don't have to declare something that could save your life or someone you love a burna launcher uh did you know that i didn't know that uh it's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction it's legal in all 50 states no permits or background checks required i just got one for my wife she loves it it's really really cool and you can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm making your airport experience smoother.

There are times when non-lethal really is the way to go.

The Burna launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range, and

one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

You know, I think with, by the way, Patton Stew for Glenn this week,

with the verdict last week that you weren't here for,

were you, I mean, we saw it coming because the judge seemed hell-bent on a conviction here and

the

people of New York were probably hell-bent, the jurors that they picked from this thing, but I mean, there was so little evidence to convict donald trump where you i mean even though we could kind of see the handwriting on the wall that they were going to do this anyway why i was still stunned i was still stunned that it actually did in fact happen

it's

34 counts yeah i know it's strange it's like i you know it's like you know it's they they constantly tell you they can't uh it's hard for them to predict the weather but they say they can predict the weather over long periods of time you know like they're like oh well we know climate change We're 100% sure of that.

We can't tell you what's coming next week.

It was sort of that type of situation where, like, in

a pragmatic moment-to-moment analysis of this case,

I was

absolutely stunned, right?

Like, I mean, if you actually follow the case and think about our country the way it used to be, this is insane.

And you can come to some conclusion based on

the way the rules were set up,

you could come up with a conclusion that might lead to him having a guilty verdict because of

what they did, right?

Like, they said, you don't even have to know what the other

crime is, what we're tying this to.

And that's why, of course, they have passed the statute of limitation and why it wasn't a misdemeanor.

And then they said, you have to tie it to a secondary crime.

You don't have to agree on what that crime is.

We're not going to tell you what it is.

And we're not going to allow any witness testimony

to let you understand further how those crimes work like that with those sorts of rules i'm not surprised at all there's a conviction right i am surprised in the long term though of like how what our country has turned into so i i think that's the thing it's stunning it is it is stunning that we have turned into

you know i don't know El Salvador or something from the 1980s.

Not even El Salvador today.

Not today.

Not today.

I mean, today it seems...

It seems a little better.

Yeah, it seems better

than it used to be, certainly.

But like, just pick your random South American country that you, I mean, I don't want to bring up Grenada.

I know Jeffy was on the show yesterday and served there.

But like, just pick your like random country that you every once in a while hear about on the news that has one political party coming after the other one and trying to get them basically removed from the ballot or society and put them in prison.

That's like what we are now.

Yeah.

And I don't know how long term this doesn't cause massive problems for us, not just

the country, but like Democrats too.

Yeah.

Like we have Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, who both run on a platform of I'm prejudging this person.

That is my platform.

I'm going to put Donald Trump in prison.

I'm going to bankrupt Donald Trump.

I'm going to go after him with the full force of my position because we know leading into this election how much you don't like him.

And both of them did this, and

they followed through with it.

Yeah.

They promised their government.

Both got this job done.

Now, I mean, I know there are Democrats who live in red areas.

I wouldn't want to do it anymore if I were them.

If I was a prominent Democrat, you want to live in an area that

is an 80% support district for a Republican because you're going to get every single one of these Republicans running on that platform.

Hey, Bob down the street,

that prominent Democrat, we all know, we don't like him that much.

He's a Democrat.

Well, I'm running on, I'm going to make sure I'm looking at all of every form that guy has filed over the last 10 years.

Yeah.

Good luck with that.

Yeah.

If there's any way to put him in prison, I'm going to live it.

No, I don't think that's a good thing at all.

It's not a good thing.

But it's going to happen.

Oh, for sure.

There's just no question that it has to happen.

No.

Justification to argue against it if you're a Democrat and cheer this on.

Right.

No justification.

Right.

The other thing that this does for me is make it really hard to believe that he doesn't do jail time.

I can't envision this judge giving him any sentence but jail.

If he were to say, yeah, you know what, community service, I would be stunned at this point, shocked, because he's shown how much he hates Trump.

And I, you know, and they've scheduled it for four days before the opening of the Republican National Convention.

And I think he'd like nothing better than to sentence him that day

for immediate incarceration.

Right.

And then he can't, but he can't be making the speech from prison.

Yeah.

And of course, that would do nothing, but, you know, you know how much money he would raise?

I heard he raised $70 million in the aftermath.

Altogether, it was over 200 million.

Oh, since then.

Yeah.

Wow.

70 million in the first 36 hours or something.

Yeah.

Right.

Incredible amounts.

And just that,

you know, I don't know, honestly, if we get to the election and this is the thing that turns it or this is the thing we're talking about.

We have six months here

or five months, I guess now, before this happens.

And so much happens in that time.

And I don't know, honestly, the more and more I look at this, the less and less I think the legal aspects are going to be a big part of this campaign.

I mean, just yesterday,

they came out with a ruling on the Fonnie Willis situation, gave a date, at least, on whether she would be able to continue on this case.

And it's October, which means the Georgia one's not happening before the election.

And that was the second most likely one to happen before the election.

And you have the other two, the documents and the January 6th thing from the federal side, also very unlikely to see the light of day before the election, which means that this is kind of it.

You'll have the sentencing, which you're right, will be big.

And I was asked about this in an interview this morning, and I didn't have a prepared question, so I kind of thought it out through as I was, you know,

I was sort of talking it out as I was going.

But like, I think the most likely situation is that he does get sentenced to jail time.

However, he doesn't actually have to serve it until after the appeal.

And that, again, would push it past the election.

Now, that might mean he serves jail time, but it might be served only in a situation where he loses and

is out after the election.

So, again, I don't know.

I mean, this may very well be it as far as actual legal discussions as it applies to Trump.

54 more charges pending.

Right.

54 more.

And as as I said a million times, they're not going to go over 91.

They're going to get him on something.

They got him already on 34 things.

On everything.

It was really good.

Everything they've accused him of so far, they've got him on.

34 of 34.

I was actually surprised.

I mean,

how

much do you have to hate someone to convict him on all 34?

Let's even think you did.

You think you did something wrong here.

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's say you think the payment was wrong and hiding it.

You're thinking he's hiding it.

Okay.

You think he hit it with the

filing it as illegal.

yeah which is again hilarious

all we've heard pat for for the last uh four years is you have to respect election results they are putting him in prison under the premise that he stole the 2016 election yeah that is that is what this is premised on they're saying he did this in effort to steal the 2016 election and i don't know i can't remember who won new york in 2016 i know it was close um but like that is legitimately an underlying, which is amazing after they say you must respect election results.

Just like Pat, they said you must respect, Pat, the justice system.

Do you believe these Republicans?

They are saying this has been rigged.

And here we are, Democrats that have respected every aspect of our legal system for 50 years.

All we do is

we never say anyone is unfairly convicted of a crime.

We wouldn't even know know how to let those words spill out of our mouths.

Sure, every single person of color that goes to prison, we say that about.

Sure, every single time a police officer is acquitted of defending themselves with a firearm when someone's charging at them and shoot.

And we go out and protest in the streets and say, hands up, don't shoot for three years.

And then that

they go through the justice system and that police officer with all the video evidence they have gets acquitted and then we riot in the streets but we must respect the justice system like when roe versus wade was overturned guess what part of the justice system boys and girls

but we must respect it it's so laughable they've been telling us every single aspect of this system has been i mean criminal justice reform is based on what systemic racism inside the justice system right the whole thing is based on not believing in the justice system.

And then here they are on television, a jury of their peers

said Donald Trump was guilty and now Republicans are questioning it?

How dare they?

It's so disagreeable.

It's laughable.

It's as if we haven't been alive for the past 30, 40, 50 years.

It's insanity.

We all have seen them every single time they get a verdict they don't like complain about the justice system.

And now it's the most pure thing in the world.

It's incredible.

It is.

It is.

Incredible.

All right.

Triple 8, 727BECK.

More coming up in one minute.

All right, next time you pull through the drive-thru and get a burger or whatever, take it home and throw it in the microwave and set that

probably for about, I don't know, an hour or so.

Long enough that it comes out smoldering a heap of charcoal.

Don't actually do that because you'll burn your house down probably, but spray a little beef flavoring on it and then try eating it.

See how that works for you.

Does that sound good?

Doesn't sound like the healthiest or happiest way to eat, but kind of your dog feels the same way about kibble food and would really like some rough greens instead.

Rough greens is not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

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

You know, brown food is dead food.

Think of that burger in the microwave.

You don't want that.

You want the greens.

You name it.

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

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

They have a special deal for you.

Go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-GLEN33.

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

It's right, it's free right now.

All you have to do is pay shipping.

It's 833-GLEN33, 833-G-L-E-N-N33.

Give them a call today.

It's Rough Greens.

10 seconds.

Station ID.

It's Patton Stewart for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK.

Also, yesterday, Anthony Fauci finally sat in front of Congress to answer some questions.

And,

you know, he was brilliant as always and so truthful and

so powerful.

Yeah.

And I think you're going to

notice just how likable a man he is as well.

I mean,

I don't know if this,

I don't know how it's going to work with Donald Trump and the Fauci thing.

I think that's going to be

maybe an issue for him in this upcoming.

In what way?

Well, in the way that Fauci was his guy for about a year.

And Fauci's not a good guy.

And Fauci

manipulated us, lied to us, kept things from us,

and then wants to have it both ways on every single issue.

From the gain of function stuff that we weren't funding, then we were funding to the lab didn't release it, to the lab did release it, to I never said the lab didn't release this thing.

I never said it didn't come from the lab.

When we've got the audio, we've got the video of him saying these things over and over and over again.

The opposite of everything he says now is what he said then.

And he got called on it yesterday, multiple times.

Here's Jim Jordan talking to Fauci.

Prior to that call, he would have been on the call.

Well, the call was arranged by Jeremy Farrar.

You should ask him.

Okay.

Did U.S.

tax dollars flow through a grant recipient to the lab in China?

I'm sorry.

What was this?

Did U.S.

tax dollars flow through a grant recipient to the lab in China?

Yes, of course.

It was a sub-award to the Wuhan Institute.

And who approved that award?

Excuse me?

And who approved that award?

What agency approved that award?

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Your agency approved that, right?

Yes, it did.

Does that have anything to do with this downplaying of the lab leak theory?

No.

Nothing to do with the question.

Nothing.

Of course.

Do you agree that there was a push to downplay the lab leak theory?

None on my part.

Really?

Really?

Wow.

Wow.

I think most of the country will find that amazing.

I still got 11 seconds.

But look at the facts.

I have kept an open mind throughout the entire process.

I yield back.

Oh, that's cool.

Oh, yeah.

An open mind throughout the entire process.

It's only one thing came out of it, but

it was open.

And I mean, do you remember how people were treated that said, I think this was a lab leak?

And you didn't even have to say it was on purpose.

You know, you just thought the lab leaked it.

That's what I thought the whole time.

Yeah, I didn't think it was on purpose.

I didn't necessarily think it was on purpose.

Right.

I mean, again, you're talking about, I mean, look, China has a record of killing a lot of millions of their own people, but it would be an odd thing.

It's not necessarily what most

of it would be strange.

Yes.

I don't put it completely past that.

I don't.

And I, you know, it could be obviously that they were manipulating these diseases for negative purposes and it leaked out.

I mean, there's a lot of different nuance within a lab leak claim.

Very easily could have just been a mistake.

Right.

Right.

Good intentions.

That's what I mean to it.

You're dealing with something, you're changing something in nature that shouldn't be changed.

That if it's going to evolve, it'll evolve on its own.

Otherwise, why don't you leave it alone?

And then, if it does evolve to the point where we need to deal with it and come up with a vaccine, we'll deal with it at that point.

But

we're taking nature into our own hands and we're messing with these things that we've got no business messing with.

And we're doing it again, by the way, with bird flu.

They're trying right now through gain of function to make bird flu communicable from human to human.

Why would you do that?

Yeah.

Well, so we can develop a vaccine if we ever need it.

Well, it's not passing from human to human right now.

How about we keep it that way?

And then we don't have to worry about it.

I mean, if you're just getting it from animals, we all have a pretty good chance we're not going to get it.

But when you start being able to pass this from human to human, then you got a problem.

And like, you can even come up with a justification for it, right?

Like, you can even come up with an idea of why you would want to do this type of research.

If it, let's say, we knew it was somehow impenetrably safe, right?

Right.

It would be something that would be potentially worthwhile.

You would keep a lid on it.

Yeah.

Like if you knew that.

Of course we don't.

You don't.

And a lot of the back and forth in these emails was talking about, hey, they're doing this in like facilities that are not at all secure.

So, you know, again,

this is why you just don't do it.

We don't have,

there's no reason this should continue.

By the way, it still is happening right now.

As you mentioned, we mentioned with the bird flu, but like people are like, oh, they banned gain of function research, which, by the way, was there was never a ban on gain of function research.

There was a ban on the funding

from the federal government during the Obama administration, which was lifted during the Trump administration, by the way.

Again, that's not necessarily Trump's fault.

There's a lot of nuance in that, but

it came back on later on.

The whole point, though, is this is a situation where all of this the entire time has still gone on.

We don't know right what what china is doing and you know look

we don't know that the the funding led to covet 19 even if it was a lab leak we don't know that the funding led directly to that it could have easily been that they were doing this on their own there was other grants that were that were supposedly going to go through that were really specific to this they the grants didn't go through But likely, China did the research anyway and very well could be the cause of this.

The bottom line, though, is that people need to be held responsible for what happened here.

And they keep denying it.

We know for a fact they were hiding this stuff.

We now have the emails of them hiding from people like Rand Paul.

The idea that they were going to,

I mean, there's a hundred different things we talked about, not only on this show, but the past show.

I don't want to go through all of them.

We only got a few seconds here.

But like, they were evading FOIA requests on this stuff.

Yeah.

We know that now.

Right.

Like I suspected it the entire time.

It certainly looked like it was happening.

And now we have emails with them discussing how to do it.

We have emails where they're discussing that the FOIA people at their offices were instructing them where to pass this information so it wouldn't be caught up in a FOIA request.

Incredible.

And all denied at the time.

All denied at the time.

And

Fauci yesterday was still denying it.

Yep.

Now, we don't have necessarily an out email from Fauci describing that, just his close associate saying he was doing it with Fauci.

And Fauci's still denying it.

It's incredible.

Incredible.

Incredible.

All right, 888, 727BECK.

More

patent stove for Glenn coming up.

Glenn back.

Sometimes the cost of doing one's duty comes very, very high.

There are heroes in this country and

look, here and abroad, service members and first responders alike who will give everything of themselves up to and including paying the ultimate price in service to their nation.

So, who was there to help them?

Who was there to help their families?

Who exactly is on the front line for those who are on the front lines?

Well, it's the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, their Gold Star Fallen First Responder Smart Home and Homeless Veteran programs comprise their in the line of duty programs.

And these are dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families, engaging people in 9-11 remembrance across America.

They, you know, they host over 80 walks and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings.

They run to the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute, educating kids that they're never going to forget and how to make sure that that doesn't happen.

More than 95 cents of every dollar that you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes to these programs.

Never forget the sacrifices of our greatest heroes.

Go to t2t.org, t the number2t.org.

It's t2t.org.

Speaking of Fauci, don't miss Blaze TV's new docuseries with Matt Kibby, the cover-up, exposing Fauci for what he is:

a liar.

Pat Gray, Stubbergear for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK.

Talked about this Fauci hearing.

It's out of control.

I mean, it's

you talk about your head exploding, needing duct tape to keep the pieces together, your eyes bleeding.

I can't listen to

listening to Anthony Fauci is almost as bad as listening to Joe Biden for me.

It's so unbelievable.

What bothers me is just the denial of

what he was saying before.

Like, again, everything, really.

Really?

Right.

He's denied it.

It's really frustrating.

Everything.

And like, we have evidence of it.

We have the proof of what he was saying back then.

Stylistically, like, I don't know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, not my favorite.

Right.

Like, again, I don't know, I know.

Just her approach is not my approach.

I like the Rand Paul approach better.

I do, too.

But still, it's like...

She said a lot yesterday that needed to be said.

Well, yeah, and they also

get to that coming up, by the way.

They also continually go back to this

and

act as if nothing happens.

It is, I don't know how else to describe it other than gaslighting.

And I know that term gets so overused, but it really does fit here.

They act as if we've just forgot everything that occurred.

Right.

I know.

It's really hard to get over.

Yeah.

You know,

it's really important that we come to some sort of conclusion.

I mean, it really is the most important thing the government should be doing.

Maybe not the most, I mean, national defense, but like, I think this is important.

It's up there.

Yeah.

Getting to the end of what happened during this period where we took away the liberty of all Americans for anywhere from three months to two years.

And that can't happen again.

Can't happen again.

We can't stand for that.

No.

We have to, and honestly, like, we already have a system that should be able to handle this.

and it's called personal liberty.

You know, it's like we haven't, it's like an operating system that if you kind of process these calculations, it should bring you to a point where you know, you want to try to come up with

solutions to these things.

You can, you can suggest them, but then people make their own decisions.

And I think the reason why there's been such a revolt is you try to take that decision-making process away from people.

What if we had something, I don't know, like a charter of liberties of some sort, like a

I don't know what you would call something like that, like a

constitution

sort of thing.

Kind of a compact, if you will,

of sounds dull.

You know, it does, doesn't it?

It sounds boring and old and something old-timey that countries used to do that don't really do anymore because you don't want to have to be bound by a set of rules that limit the government.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, it seems weird.

It affirms you maybe of negative liberties that tells you what the government can't do to the people.

Like shut down your business, for instance, for no apparent reason.

Really?

Uh-huh.

Like, make you stay home.

Like, make you take a vaccine that you don't want to take.

Those kinds of things.

The more you say it, the more it seems like a good idea.

Really?

Maybe we should consider it.

Do you think that there's any precedent for a country doing something like this?

I don't.

Not that I can think of right now because,

you know, my whole memory has been clouded by the last four years.

I was looking for some old clip of Studios America, the show that I do here on Belize TV, and it was something to do with COVID.

And I was looking back at some of the early shows, and one of the shows I did, it was in, I want to say it was like mid-March 2020.

And I'm on there going like, hey, like, I understand what they keep saying here as far as we need to shut down these businesses and spend all this money.

But like,

when do we stop spending this money?

Like, what is the line here?

We had spent like $8 million.

I was just, I was, I'm on the air like ranting about, I mean, I think the first little did you know there were trillions

to come.

I mean, of course, at that point, I have no idea and couldn't imagine it.

I don't even know if we were shut down yet at this point.

Like people were talking about it.

I don't think in mid-March we were.

Yeah, it was March.

Well, yeah, it was March 15th, 13th, 2020.

I think is when we first had the first 15 days to slow the spread.

And by the way, on stage for that moment, Anthony Fauci.

I mean, and look, as you mentioned, Donald Trump was on that stage too.

I mean, like, you can give some grace, I think, at the very beginning for people not understanding what was coming and how to handle it.

Absolutely.

But this is, of course, why you process these things through the lens of personal liberty.

If you do that, that's why you follow the Constitution, no matter what.

I mean, it might look bleak.

It might look dire.

It might look scary.

Doesn't matter.

That's when you need it most.

Right.

You don't need your principles when decisions are easy.

Right.

You need them when it's difficult.

Right.

Friendly speech, nice speech.

That's kids.

That can need to be protected.

Right.

You don't have to worry about it.

And then you have to fall.

What you do is in those moments where, gosh, this feels really bad.

I mean, he's saying some really nasty words.

I don't like them at all.

They're making me very angry, as a lot of people do, right?

They say things that I don't really like.

And then you say, but wait a minute, wait, fall back on our principles here.

What are our principles?

Oh, free speech.

Okay, well, that's something that's central to everything that we talk about on a daily basis.

And the reason why we're able to come do this show every day and why shows like ours, I mean, this has happened to Jordan Peterson, Mark Stein, many others in Canada, which is a relatively free space compared to North Korea and other examples we could come up with.

And these people have been targeted by their own countries.

Yeah.

Right?

Like, this is what this operating system is supposed to protect against.

And if you go back and you think about, think about like the

food pyramid, right?

The food pyramid, something, and I think they've changed that, right?

Didn't know Michelle Obama changed the food pyramid to something else that I don't even know what it is.

Well, they did, yeah.

You're supposed to have 95, you know,

who donates the most money?

The milk industry?

95 servings of milk every day.

And then we had that pyramid, and it was these daily

recommendations about what you're supposed to eat to make yourself healthy.

And like, very rarely, maybe in some libertarian circles, occasionally, you want to go on maybereason.com, you'll see a couple pieces against the FDA pyramid.

But like, generally speaking, you know what the FDA pyramid is?

It's something that no one cares about.

It's a recommendation from the government that people look at and they say, oh, actually, how many of those things can I combine on a burger?

And I'll tell you how many I'm eating this week.

No one cares about the food pyramid because it's a recommendation.

Right?

You don't have to follow it.

You don't have to follow it.

It is their best guess at what you should be eating.

Now, of course, it changes every three months.

We know that.

But just like the guidance from the government during COVID, it was no masks and then it was must masks.

And it was, you know, we don't ever come up with a vaccine for 12 years.

And then all of a sudden we have the vaccine and you have to take it and you can't bring your kids to school.

But you, I mean, actually, no, no, we all agree that kids go opening schools.

That was totally fine.

Well, wait, all these things changed a million times, but they tried to mandate all of them.

And that's what pissed people off.

If you tell, if you make people do things, especially when you're not entirely sure,

You can have some grace from people.

I think, honestly, if they were like, Look, I don't know.

Here's what we think is happening.

We think masks might help.

So, I mean, if you can get some, use them because it's not probably not going to hurt.

So, give it a shot.

If that was their approach,

people, some people would use the mask, some people would say, like, I don't want these things on my face.

I don't like them.

I'm going to take the risk.

If that was the way this played out, these hearings don't exist.

Especially when Fauci himself in the beginning said masks were virtually useless.

Yes.

They're not going to help.

That's not going to stop it.

It's like sand going through a chain link fence.

It didn't stop anything.

And he knew that.

And he said it at the beginning and then completely changed it.

And I represent science.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thanks, Tony.

You know, if

you...

There are two ways to go here, right?

You can either say, like they do in North Korea, here is the truth.

you will follow it.

This is what I say, you do it.

You better be freaking right if you're doing that stuff, unless you happen to be Kim Jong-un, because that doesn't matter.

You can be right or wrong to them.

Nobody cares.

But if you have a government system like that, you can go that way.

You can say, I am capital S science, and I will tell you what is right and what was wrong, and you will listen.

And you're an idiot if you don't listen, because I am science, and I am right.

You can go that direction if you like, but you can't go that direction and then also go go the new direction they want, which is it was really hard.

It was COVID.

No one knew what was going on.

We tried our best.

We tried to give recommendations.

We didn't know for sure.

That is actually

real, though.

That is what.

That would have been real.

And we would have appreciated that.

That would have been okay.

I would have been okay with that.

And I think there's some, even if you want to reverse it, you can say that there's too much criticism, that we all knew that X, Y, and Z was the way this was going to play out.

There is some of that, I think, that floats around from the right that says, oh, well, we knew everything about it in March 2020.

And all these people are idiots.

Like, look.

I will say, though, we did say a lot of these things.

We did say a lot of these things.

Here's one that was never controversial.

Don't import COVID-positive patients into nursing homes.

That was never, that was obvious from day one.

Everyone knew it.

There was never a scientist being like, actually, it would be really good for these people who don't have COVID to be rooming with people who do, especially when they're elderly.

Never a time where that was a thing.

We said that at the beginning.

And look, just because you say something in the beginning and it turns out to be right doesn't mean you were right to say it at the beginning, right?

Like

because of the fact that people were unsure.

People said everything.

People were saying, oh, well, saunas will cure COVID.

And people were, people said everything about COVID.

Light.

People said everything about COVID.

The bottom line is: if you don't know for sure,

having some level of

grace for a person who says, look,

here's our best thought on this.

We understand this is a tough time.

Follow it if you want.

We think you should.

But if you don't, you know, you're taking a risk.

And if that's on you,

that is

I would have appreciated that so much.

Yeah.

That's a healthy way to handle it.

That's a situation.

That's not how they approached it, though.

No.

But they're trying to say now that they did.

Right.

They're trying to say, like, actually, we said we thought schools should be open.

Sorry, we were there.

We remember

daily briefings.

We remember what we were told every single day by the likes of Fauci and Burks and Cuomo and Cuomo and yes, all these

buffoons who were trying to tell us that they knew the science on this and we needed to follow the science.

That's what we were told the whole time.

Yeah.

We're following the science.

And you need to follow the science.

Well, you weren't following science.

You didn't know.

And now you admit that, but you didn't at the time.

And science is an unsure developing process.

And it sure is.

And you have to admit that if you want any credibility with people, they didn't do that.

They've lost credibility.

People don't believe anything anymore.

You're right.

I mean, if the bird flu

epidemic turned into some terrible, terrible pandemic like COVID, half the country wouldn't believe a word of it.

Yeah.

And it's because of what they did.

Instead of just trusting people to make their own

and realizing that there was risk associated with life, that people needed to make those decisions on their own, on their to their tolerance of risk.

I mean, it would have been a much healthier society today,

even if you argue that it may have made some people sick.

It may have.

I don't know.

I mean, it's hard to believe it could have gone worse than what it did, but like, uh, maybe it would have been worse.

I don't know.

But at least people would have been responsible for their own outcomes.

So never forget to keep your eyes on the prize.

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

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

Because if you don't get a good real estate agent,

you are in real trouble, real, real trouble.

Realestateagents I trust.com is a place that you should go.

This is something that Glenn started years and years and years ago because he had a bad experience with his own real estate agent.

He was looking to buy and sell a home.

And if you're in radio, you move every like nine months for your first 25 years in your career.

It's wonderful.

Let me highly recommend it as a way to make your living.

It's Patton Stufer Glenn today.

Fauci, Anthony Fauci appeared before Congress yesterday and faced some questions.

And he's sticking to his story on the vaccine that it's safe and effective.

Here's what he said.

You said in an interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Specter

that you believed an institutional should should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated.

Could we

run the audio clip on that, please?

You think can be done about it.

I have to say that I don't see a big solution other than some sort of mandatory vaccination.

I know federal officials don't like to use that term.

Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities, and colleges.

They're going to say, you want to come to this college, buddy?

You're going to get vaccinated.

Lady, you're going to get vaccinated.

Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook and all of those others are going to say, you want to work for us, you get vaccinated.

And it's been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives,

they lose their ideological bull

and they get vaccinated.

Okay.

Thank you.

Are all objections to COVID vaccinations ideological bullshit?

Dr.

Pauci?

No, they're not, and that's not what I was referring to.

Well, no, it is what he was.

In reference to making it hard for people to get education.

I mean, traveling.

We got it.

Working.

That wasn't the safe and effective one, but that was one where

he just flat out lied again.

I mean, we just heard him say it.

What do you mean that's not what you were referring to?

Those were the words that came out of your mouth.

And you're denying them.

And they tried all those things.

And he actually outlines exactly what occurred here when he says, if as soon as they feel protected legally, this will happen.

Well, they did try it, and they were not protected legally.

It got overturned by the courts.

So that's why they didn't wind up doing it, right?

I mean, that's the only reason they didn't wind up doing it.

Yeah.

Just agonizing.

Yeah.

Why?

You just said it.

You just

sit there and deny that you just said it.

I mean, I guess he didn't technically say all opposition to it was.

Maybe there's some.

I can't imagine, they're always, he's always trying to do this.

Like, we all heard you.

We all saw this.

This happened.

He did a million interviews.

I mean, look, the guy,

probably, honestly, Fauci's best defense is if he just came out and said, look, I'll be honest with you, I didn't do much of anything.

All I was doing was doing interviews.

All I was doing was media.

I wasn't actually doing anything with this virus at all.

That would be accurate.

That would probably be his, honestly, his best defense against this.

I didn't know anything about it.

Like, you're just like one of the, I was a figurehead.

All I did was go and do media interviews.

Or, look, I said everything on this just so that I would hit something that was correct along the way.

Exactly.

Like, I was just playing the odds.

That's true.

He did do that.

The Glenn Beck program.

brutal.

Honey punches votes for all.

Today, para saber más.

And hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to reign

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Patton Stew for Glenn today, triple eight seven two seven BECK.

Fauci was before Congress yesterday, had some amazing things that he once again lied about.

The New York Times wrote an interesting article on

five things

that

I guess it's evidence of a lab leak.

Five.

I can't believe they actually printed this article, honestly.

The New York Times was adamant, too, that there was no lab leak.

Headline of the story, why the pandemic probably started in a lab in five key points.

That's amazing.

Amazing.

This is where we are.

All right, we'll get to that in one minute.

In some ways, it's kind of

good, I guess, to see the left being honest, just admitting it.

And Bill Maher admitted that killing a baby is murder.

But he's okay with it.

And look, I don't think that's a good opinion to have, but it is at least honest, and I'm glad they're finally saying it.

But here we are again doing this all over.

It's amazing.

And we really need to stop this horrible process.

How do we stop the madness?

Well, you can help by donating to Preborn, the largest pro-life organization organization in the country and they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born and that's so key when a mother sees her unborn child on the monitor she 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 i love pre-born they're a great organization 28 bucks could be the difference between life and death.

So join the fight by sponsoring one, two, three, 200 ultrasounds.

As many as you can do.

All gifts are tax deductible.

To donate, dial pound250 and say the keyword baby.

It's pound250.

Use the keyword baby or visit pre-born.com slash beck, pre-born.com slash beck.

This is sponsored by Pre-Born.

If you live in Texas, is it time to start building that arc yet?

Jeez, the rain is unbelievable here.

My son's literally...

This season has been like four games long because everything's been rained out.

Yeah.

It's incredible.

I mean, every day.

And they don't, I mean, this week was supposed to be pretty dry according to the forecast I saw the other day.

Like on Saturday and Sunday, they were saying, yeah, it looks pretty clear this week.

It's rained like crazy.

Yeah.

Every day.

Every day.

And it rained again today.

I flew back into town yesterday.

It was severe thunderstorm warnings.

It just doesn't stop.

Yeah.

You know what it is?

Global warming.

Global warming.

Yeah.

Global warming causes both the wetness and the dryness.

Paradoxically.

Remember who used to say that?

Paradoxically.

Yes.

Yes, I do remember that.

And that's because

of our SU voives.

Our SU

voiv

are causing that paradox.

Really?

Yeah.

We just bought the biggest SUV basically on the market

just to help.

Good.

As you said, it's because of SUVs.

And so I'm

trying to help the process along both the heating and the cooling.

Let's just get it over.

The rain and the dryness.

Yeah.

That's what I'm trying to get.

Heating, cooling, rain, dry, all of it.

Global warming.

All of it's global warming.

What a convenient thing.

I mean, an inconvenient truth.

It's actually incredibly convenient.

No matter what happens,

global warming explains it.

Yeah.

So it's like the most convenient thing in the world.

world.

What all they've done is rename

storms that happen in the winter.

Like the, you know, a Canadian coal front is now a polar vortex.

Right.

So that polar vortex is probably better.

Yeah.

And it sounds scary.

And that's from global warming.

Climate change has caused the polar vortex.

You got to trust the science, Pat.

I get a sense that you're not trusting.

What is the other thing?

The rain rivers, rain bombs and rain rivers.

Oh my gosh.

I've never heard of a rain bomb until the last couple years.

It feels like the weather channel is like, how do we spice this up?

Yeah, polar vortexes.

Rain bombs.

Rain bombs?

Polar vortexes.

Yes, vortices.

I'm sorry.

All right.

So tell me about this New York Times article.

Apparently

they've done it about face too now.

No, you know, I wouldn't necessarily say that.

It is an opinion.

It's a guest essay.

Okay.

But they did run it in the New York Times.

And it's by Alina Chan.

Now, if you don't know who she is, she was the co-author of a great book called Viral, The Search for the Origin of COVID-19.

This is a book she co-wrote with Matt Ridley, who you might know.

He's been on the show before.

But again, the fact that I just said he's been on the show before, and then his co-author is writing in the New York Times.

Wow.

She's a scientist.

She is a molecular biologist.

at the Broad Institute of MIT in Harvard.

Okay, so this is not just some crazy person.

Yeah.

She's a co-author of Viral, The Search for the Origin of COVID-19.

Again, if you care about this in molecular detail,

you should totally read this book.

I mean, it really goes through everything that we know.

I mean, this is now, the book's a year and a half old or so, but it is really, really good.

And Matt really is one of the best science writers that,

you know, that has ever been.

I love Matt's stuff.

Some of his books are just, I mean, all of his books are great, but this one was really, really at the

step-by-step design of

everything that we know about the origin of COVID-19.

Now, we know more now than we did when this book came out.

And the fact that this story is being run by the New York Times is shocking to me.

Legitimately shocking they gave her a platform for this because this is not what you're supposed to believe if you are in the mainstream media.

The story is called Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab and five key points.

And we can break these down as much as you want.

The first one is the SARS-like virus that started or that caused the pandemic emerged in Wuhan, a city where the most, the world's foremost research lab for SARS-like viruses is located.

Now,

that is really basic information.

If you don't know that information at this point, that this lab was there,

it would be stunning.

However, I will say, if you

just read the New York Times, if you just read the Washington Post or watch CNN, are you even aware that this lab existed in the city?

Yeah, you might not be.

You might not be.

Because you've been told it was brought on by bat soup or whatever.

Right.

The pangolin or the bat soup thing because people were eating bats and pangolins in China.

That was the big pitch.

That's what started it.

A couple of things that are interesting in this breakdown.

Of course, a team of scientists had been hunting for SARS-like viruses for over a decade, led by Dr.

Shi.

She is known as the bat lady.

The research showed that viruses most similar to SARS-CoV-2, a virus that caused the pandemic, circulate in bats that live roughly a thousand miles away from Wuhan.

They even got like an animated map to show where these bats are from.

And it would be shocking that they could somehow spill over that far away, a thousand miles away.

But we know they were going to these caves and bringing them to Wuhan from these caves.

So, like, either they got really, really ambitious and decided to to take a thousand-mile flight, or somebody brought them to Wuhan.

Um,

of course, this type of spillover is rare.

They go through those details, but this is interesting.

And you know, some bit of piece of information that people might not remember.

When the COVID-19 outbreak was detected, Dr.

Shi, the bat lady from China, initially wondered if the novel coronavirus had come from her laboratory,

saying that she had never expected such an outbreak to occur in Wuhan.

So, again, the actual doctor running this lab was worried about this happening and wondered if she caused it.

That's kind of big information, right?

Yeah.

That a lot of people don't know.

Yep.

And of course, the SARS-CoV-2

virus is exceptionally contagious, can jump from species to species like wildfire, yet it left no trace of infection at its source or anywhere along what would have been a thousand-mile journey before emerging in Wuhan.

I mean, just that

is so much evidence.

That's only point number one.

Point number two, the year before the outbreak, the Wuhan Institute, working with U.S.

partners, had proposed creating viruses with SAR-COVID-2s,

COVID-2s,

COVID-19

for lack of a, for keeping it a little bit more simple, their defining feature.

So they took samples from bats and other animals, as well from sick people living near animals carrying these viruses or associated with wildlife trade.

Much of this work was conducted with the partnership with EcoHealth Alliance.

Now, these are terms that you, listening to conservative radio, maybe

taking in conservative media, have heard these names.

But has anyone who reads the New York Times heard anything about EcoHealth Alliance?

Surely it's been mentioned in articles here and there.

But like,

basically, they've been told this is a conspiracy theory.

But this is much more detailed.

The laboratory pursued risky research that resulted in viruses becoming more infectious.

Again, Anthony Fauci on the stand denying over and over again that he did gain of function research, right?

This is the type of research Rand Paul was talking about.

And this is true.

This did happen.

By 2019, Dr.

Xi's group had published a database describing more than 22,000 collective wildlife, collected wildlife samples.

But external access was shut off in the fall of 2019.

Now, this is just as COVID-19 is happening in China.

They just mysteriously turn off access to the database of 22,000 related viruses.

Why would they do that

if this was just natural spillover?

And the database was not shared with American collaborators even after the pandemic started.

Why

would they do that?

Again, this is

circumstantial evidence, but there's no other explanation for what they're doing here.

In 2021, The Intercept published a leaked 2018 grant proposal for a research project named Diffuse, which had been written as a collaboration between EcoHealth, the Wuhan Institute, and Ralph Barrick at the University of North Carolina, who had been the cutting edge of coronavirus research for years.

The proposal described plans to create viruses strikingly similar to SARS-CoV-2.

Okay, this is a 2018 grant

called Diffuse.

What they asked for in this project was to search and create SARS-like viruses carrying spikes with a very unique feature, a Furin cleavage site.

Again, a term maybe you remember from previous discussions, but the people in the New York Times that read it have never heard this before.

This

Furin cleavage site was specific to this

virus, and it was never funded by the United States government.

This was just a proposal.

So this is not saying that we funded that specific research.

It didn't go through, but they didn't need our money to do it.

It wasn't like they were short on cash to do this.

They obviously just wanted the extra money.

While it's possible, the article says the furin cleavage site could have evolved naturally, as is seen in some distantly related coronaviruses.

Out of the hundreds of SARS-like viruses cataloged by science,

SARS-CoV-2 is the only known one to possess a furing cleavage site in its spike.

The only one.

Kind of surprising that this would just happen.

Goes through a bunch of details on this in the back and forth.

You should totally read it.

Point three, the Wuhan lab pursued this type of work under low biosafety conditions that

could not have contained an airborne virus like COVID.

They go through the differences between each level of biosafety and kind of walk, again,

she's walking people through this that have never heard any of this information before.

Yeah.

Four, the hypothesis that COVID-19 came from an animal at the Hunan seafood market in Wuhan is not supported by strong evidence.

And we know that.

We've talked about it many, many times.

And five, key evidence that would be expected if the virus had emerged from the wildlife trade is still missing.

So, and they go through this like

you're treated like a felon if you said this

to the New York Times or the New York Times heard that you said this.

And they cheered on when, you know, efforts to silence people who were saying it back in the day.

Yep.

So

these are the types of evidence that you would normally have.

And SARS and MERS are two good examples, the 2002 SARS and 2012 MERS viruses.

Do you have infected animals that are found?

Well, yes, with SARS, yes, with MERS.

Do you have the earliest known cases

that were exposed to live animals?

So the first people that you found with it, were they exposed to these particular animals?

Yes, in the case of SARS, yes, in the case of MERS.

Antibody evidence of animals and animal traders having being infected.

Okay.

Yes, in the case of SARS, yes, in the case of MERS.

Ancestral variants of the virus found in animals.

Yes, in the case of SARS, yes, in the case of MERS.

Documented trade of host animals between the area where bats carry closely related viruses and the outbreak site.

Yes, in the case of SARS, yes, in the case of MERS.

No, in the case of COVID-19, for every single one of those pieces of evidence.

Every single one of them.

They have not found any of this evidence in any of these categories for COVID-19.

Again, this is in the New York Times.

This is not the Blaze.

This is not

Daily Wire.

This is not even Fox News.

This is the New York Times discussing what we have talked about for years and years, but they are finding out about today.

And thank God they are.

I'm glad they ran it.

I don't want to be too critical here because I'm excited they actually did put this evidence out here.

Alina Chan, again, has been on the top,

like looking at this since the very beginning.

And it's important that it's out there.

It's fascinating because little by little, the

truth has trickled out on this, right?

You were vilified for it four years ago, but ever since then,

you know, and especially in the last six months or so, all this information is starting to come out now.

They're starting to admit things like, okay, some people were harmed by the vaccine.

Okay, it probably was a lab leak.

Yeah, it wasn't spread by animals.

I mean, oh yeah, the masks really were worthless.

All right, yeah, the six-foot barrier thing, the six-foot distancing thing, that was just, we just picked that out of our butts.

So,

I mean, little by little, the truth is coming out.

More coming up in one.

So you might have some awesome guns, maybe a whole arsenal of them.

Maybe you just love the Second Amendment, you know, maybe you got enough ammunition to hold off a small army, should that ever be necessary.

But unfortunately, that doesn't do a whole lot of good if you can't hit the broadside of a barn when you actually shoot.

You need practice, but going to the range, using up ammunition is time-consuming and gets really, really expensive.

So check out Mantis X.

It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system.

It's widely used by the military and helps you improve your shooting quickly.

You attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.

10 seconds, station ID.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

There was a big hearing yesterday, and at least somebody got fired up yesterday.

It was MTG.

Marjorie Taylor Green, all fired up over the Anthony Fauci BS.

She's having a hard time taking it all.

And then she shows up in the hallway.

and well we'll get to that in a second but first here she is wrapping up her 10-minute rant against Anthony Fauci yesterday children children all over America were forced to wear masks healthy children forced to wear masks muzzled in their schools And then they were forced to learn from home because of your so-called science and your medical suggestions while you and all your cronies get paid from big pharma.

You know what this committee should be doing?

We should be recommending you to be prosecuted.

We should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

You belong in prison, Dr.

Fauci.

Say what you will about her.

And she is,

she can, you know, go over the top from time to time.

But I love that because, you know, I feel that indignation against Anthony Fauci.

I mean, yes, he is responsible for much of what we went through in 2020, 2021, 22.

And it lasted way too long because of their recommendations and

their science that we were told we had to follow.

And so will anything come of that, though?

No, I don't think so.

What's your vibe on just the format of these hearings?

What I would like to get with Anthony Fauci sitting in front of you are questions to Anthony Fauci that he's responding to and getting on record on something, right?

Like, I just under, and this is not specific to Marjorie Taylor Green, but there's just this idea that you just go up there and just rant at the person and ask them, what do I get out of that?

I mean, I guess you get that, that's a nice clip.

Yeah, like that's a great clip from a talk show.

Yes.

Like, what is that?

Like, I don't,

you know,

she's showing a picture of kids in masks to Anthony Fauci.

I heard, I didn't see it, but I heard she held the pictures of beagles.

Oh, beagles, because I guess he did experiments on beagles at one point.

I don't even know.

But I mean,

at the end of the day, I just don't know how effective it is.

Yeah, I just feel like it winds up being effective for the politician and not necessarily.

That is one of the things.

And we've talked about that, I think, in the past, is that, you know, a lot of these people are really good at the hearings.

And then that's it.

Yeah.

That's definitely

a breed.

Yeah, you know,

that's definitely a breed of a politician at this point who's very good at these hearings.

I mean, like Jim Jordan, Trey Gowdy was that way.

Trey Gowdy knows that way.

Again, a lot of of these people.

And that's why he's better probably on Fox News on Sundays or whenever it is he's on than he was in Congress because he didn't really do anything about it.

But he was great at these hearings.

And sometimes you do need that.

But

what I want is like...

Finely crafted questions that put the witness in a position where they have to answer something or give you some new piece of information.

Of course, they never will, though.

Sometimes you do.

It happens.

It's not common, but it does happen.

You have to be really, really good at it.

You think Fauci would answer anything?

I I mean, I think he'd do everything to avoid it.

He's a lying sack.

Yes, yeah.

All right, more coming up.

Things could always be worse, and there's a pretty good chance that they will get there, as evidence has shown over time.

But sometimes they could also get better, of course, if you plan as well as possible.

Imagine for a moment, if you're not already there, what it would be like to get yourself completely out of debt, for example.

If you're a homeowner, chances are good that American Financing knows how to get you to that place.

You need to look at your spending, your finances, and your debt.

And better yet, let American Financing do that for you.

After the hearing, Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking to a reporter in the hallway of Congress yesterday, and she got a little animated.

Once again, here's what happened in the hallway.

No, absolutely not.

I mean, everything I said is correct.

It's how the American people feel.

It's what we know to be a fact.

It's all the evidence that has been proven true.

We have Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshiping Trump, worshiping a convicted felon.

Well, yeah, so is George Floyd and everybody and you all too.

The media worship George Floyd.

Democrats worship George Floyd.

There were riots burning down the country over George Floyd and Raskin is in there saying we worship him.

Excuse me, let me correct you.

And this is really important.

I don't worship, I worship God.

God,

and Jesus is my savior.

I don't worship President Trump.

And I'm really sick and tired of the bull annex I have to deal with constantly from the Democrats.

So that's what we just went through in there.

And then they're sitting there, they can attack my character all day long.

What's his face in there?

Whoever was talking last was calling me insane.

But yet we can't say, oh, they're attacking my character.

Oh no, it's non-stop BS and Annex.

You want to know why?

The Democrats don't have anything.

They're responsible for the lockdowns, forced vaccinations, kids being forced to stay home, people committing suicide, and all the horrors that this country lived through during COVID.

Fauci belongs in prison.

He should be tried for mass murder and he should be tried for crimes against humanity.

That's how I feel after that hearing.

That's how the American people feel.

And I think stupid Geary, you're behind everything she said there, right?

Everything.

Every word of it.

Lots of what she says, I agree.

Lots of people, yes.

For sure.

I mean, and I think this is a much more appropriate use of that, right?

Yeah.

I like her ranting at a reporter who's asking her dumb questions.

I'm fine with that.

I like that.

I just, I'm just not as big a fan of it in the actual hearing with Fauci sitting there.

Yeah.

To me, it's just because

there's so many limited times to get him in a position.

And Brant Paul's done a really good job with those moments.

He's been able to pull stuff out of Fauci and hit him and make him react to stuff that we didn't know.

I mean, he got him on record.

We were

later able to look back at his statements that he made publicly and compare them to other things we uncovered in emails and everything else.

I mean, that's part of the reason that we have a basis to go after Fauci for this stuff.

So, and look, even Ren Paul, I'm sure, has done plenty of ranting in these things.

I'm not just, I'm not trying to single her out by any means for doing this, but that is totally fine use of ranting to me.

You want to, someone comes up to you and starts asking you dumb questions.

Well, here's a convicted felon.

I've been seeing this constantly from the media since this all happened on Thursday.

This just this beloved, there's absolutely no evidence that Joe Biden has anything to do with this.

Donald Trump, once again, without evidence, claims that there is this, you know, conspiracy against him.

Give me a, what do you mean without evidence?

Half the cases being brought against him are coming through Merrick Garland.

The guy, he works for Joe Biden.

What do you mean there's no evidence?

No, yes, this was a local case.

We also know that there were people who have gone from inside the Biden administration to suddenly work with alvin bragg we we we i mean we now are seeing things uh uh in a somewhat unrelated matter with the hunter biden thing starting where

joe biden is going to visit hallie biden a week before she's the main that was just to talk about the anniversary of bow's death to be clear

that's not what they said that's not what they said and you are you're exaggerating what they said and i want to call you out on it because what they actually said was it was an early remembrance of the ninth anniversary of Bo Biden dying.

It wasn't even the anniversary.

It was an early remembrance of an anniversary, not the 10th, but the ninth.

Yeah.

Because that's what you do with everyone who's having a ninth anniversary.

You show up a month early and just want to celebrate it.

I mean, it's

so

obvious what they're doing.

But they would say there's no evidence Joe Biden is trying to manipulate the result for Hunter Biden.

Well, we don't have Joe Biden recorded saying, I'm trying to manipulate the evidence.

We do have Hunter Biden in messages saying his dad was involved in these deals.

And they still say there's no evidence he was involved.

There's no level of evidence that would hit the standard they're looking for in this case.

But with Trump,

they will jump to any conclusion from any inference.

Look what they did with the Russia stuff.

They went to any level.

Russia collusion.

For years and years and years, we heard that.

Years and years and years and years.

And then, oh, oh, no.

Okay.

Well, let's move on to something else then.

It's like 30, like the idea that he's a convicted felon, I think for anyone who followed the process that led to that conviction, anyone would say that this is completely ridiculous.

Now, if you,

my suspicion is most of the jurors who convicted Donald Trump were people who hated Donald Trump.

I mean, that's my belief.

I mean, obviously, it was 90, something close to 90, it was well over 80% of the vote in this area went against Donald Trump.

That doesn't necessarily mean you can never get a verdict out of an area like that.

I mean, it's just hard to.

But in this particular case, when you're told

either stop Adolf Hitler or, you know,

a fascist dictatorship's about to start.

Well, a lot of people would take that seriously.

And I think just just say, hey, you know, we're going to convict him no matter what.

But also, just the rules of the game.

You know, it's like

it's completely ridiculous.

You think about the situation that they put these jurors in, and we're, you know, I'm going a little bit off topic here.

I know we're, we're talking Fauci, but like, this is, this is the case with the media all the time.

They act as if there's no evidence.

And then when they're given the evidence, they just dismiss it until later on a piece comes out in the New York Times entitled

Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab in Five Key Points.

Yep.

That's after years of supporting efforts to remove people from social media for saying it.

Yeah.

And we're just all supposed to kind of be like, oh, well, I guess I'm not supposed to remember that that happened.

It's a fascinating thing that they even attempted.

Sure is.

The balls you got to have

to try this stuff in public.

It's amazing.

They no longer care.

And, Pat, let me take you back to an old-timey moment.

I was thinking about this the other day.

2004 election.

And

John Kerry,

he has a big problem in his campaign.

He's been caught.

And he comes out and he says, I actually did vote for the $86 billion

before I voted against it.

Remember that?

I do.

It was a massive controversy.

Maybe cost him the election.

Yeah.

They do stuff like that every day.

And it does.

Every day.

Joe Biden is currently trying to convince us he's tough on the border.

How could anyone think that would work?

Well, he's signing an executive order today to shut down the border.

He's been

the exact opposite person for decades of public life.

And then we're supposed to believe five months before the election.

He's a border hawk.

Well, yeah, because he just couldn't get the Republican Congress to act on this.

That's what they wanted.

The Democrats have been waiting this entire time to get Republicans to care about the border.

Begging Republicans to lift a pen or something to quell the overflow at the border.

Please, give us some help here in Texas and Arizona, New Mexico, and California, please.

So finally, finally, he's taking action this very afternoon, 2 o'clock Eastern.

He's going to sign an executive order that will ban migrants who cross the southern border illegally from claiming asylum.

If the daily count is, I think they've lowered it to 2,500.

Lower than the bill, wasn't it?

I think it's a little bit lower than the bill.

A little bit lower than the bill.

I think it's like 2,500 people per day so when it averages 2500 people per day uh you can shut off the asylum claims

wow still a lot of people we should point out yeah

you know what's what you say uh 2500 per day so that's 365 times uh 2500 gives you

About a million.

That's 912,500.

So about a million people a year.

I mean, that's an incredibly high number.

Yeah, it is.

poisonous.

Of illegals.

You know, I think the legal number of immigrants a year is around a million, right?

Don't we allow?

I think we allow a million legal immigrants to come into the country every year.

I mean, that's a lot.

Name the other nation that does that.

Oh, you can't because there aren't any.

But we do.

We allow 1 million legal

entries into this country.

And then we know about 912,000 more.

And it's been a lot more than that in the last few years.

This is why.

And people are, you know, tired of it now.

And even Democrats are tired of it now because of the genius that is the plan to send illegals to cities in the Northwest and the Midwest, the Northeast and the Midwest.

And it's had such a huge impact in those cities.

Outsized impact, really.

Oh, my God.

Now, of course, we should point out that only about 10 to 20% of the people that they're complaining about actually came from the programs like

Greg Abbott shipping these people up in buses.

But it made an impression on them.

A lot of this, though, came from the Biden administration, who was shipping people up there on their own.

Very true.

That's very.

And that goes without notice sometimes.

Yeah.

But they've been shipping people all over the country for years.

That 2,500, by the way, is about half of what's going on right now.

So we're already way over that.

And that's

over 5,000 a day for a while.

Yeah, it still is over about 5,000 a day, but that's down from the peaks.

That's about half of the peaks.

So we're talking

about incredible 10,000 a day.

Almost 300,000 a month for a while.

Now we're down to, I think, 130,000 a month, which is still not good, but it is down a little bit.

But still well above this limit.

So this will give Biden the opportunity to say he's tough on the border.

Republicans didn't do anything and we wound up doing it.

Even though the Republicans did do stuff, they passed bills that were much tougher and would do a much better job than what Biden is going to do.

But they're going to ignore that and say, well, they didn't pass the one thing we wanted them to pass, which of course was built and stacked with all sorts of stuff that would have hurt the border effort.

But like the larger point here is that

they act as if no one has paid attention to this.

It's like, it's like, here's a good example of this.

I've watched a couple of WNBA games this year.

Now, if I were to come out and try to convince you I was a WNBA expert, you would correctly note that I have not watched one WNBA game in 15 years.

But because I kind of like the Caitlin Clark thing,

I've been watching a couple of her games here and there, bits and pieces of them.

Am I a WNBA expert?

No.

Should you believe I'm a WNBA expert?

No.

I don't know anything about the ins and outs of these players.

I don't know any of the other players in the league.

All I know is everyone on Caitlin Clark's team looks like they suck.

That's the only thing I could tell you about watching a couple of her games.

She's good.

Everyone else on her team seems like they suck.

I don't know if that's accurate.

I don't know.

I'm not an expert.

But if I was trying to convince you I was an expert, you should correctly not believe anything else I say.

Because I'd obviously be lying to you.

And that's the situation we're in now with Joe Biden.

He's trying to convince you he's a border hawk.

That is

completely crazy.

It's like

it's so beyond the realm of reality.

How could anybody believe it?

And deeper than that, how could anyone expect it would work?

And yet they do.

That's how dumb they think their voters are.

And in some cases, they're right.

They're right so often.

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

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

My wife Tanya insisted that I tried Relief Factor.

I didn't think it would work for me.

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

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

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

I didn't think this would work.

Relief Factory uses a unique formula of natural ingredients.

It doesn't just mask the pain, it reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body.

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

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

It's Patton Stew for Glenn today.

Inflation since Biden took office is the highest since Jimmy Carter.

Hmm.

Consumer price index change from inauguration month all the way to the 40th month, which is where we are now with Biden, of each president's first term in the last like 60 years-ish-ish, 50 years, I guess.

It's been

Jimmy Carter, of course, highest because keep in mind, we counted everything back in the Carter days.

And that's why he got credit for 37.8% inflation in his first 40 months.

37.8% inflation.

That's pretty high.

Yeah, that's somewhat high.

Some would say,

not necessarily a really good job.

Joe Biden is number two.

at 19.3 and that's not counting everything that's when they throw out yeah we're not going to count groceries.

We're not going to count clothing.

You know, they do those kinds of things.

If it was counted the way Jimmy Carter's inflation was counted, it'd be much higher.

I would, I don't know if it'd be double, but it'd be a lot higher than it is now.

So 19.3%.

Reagan, who was suffering through a lot of Jimmy Carter's mess, his was 18.5% at first.

H.W.

Bush, 15%.

It goes all the way down to who do you think had the lowest 40-month total of inflation on the consumer price index?

Calvin Coolidge.

Well, we'd have to go back every answer is Calvin Coolidge, but not in this particular case, um,

because he was dead at the time.

Okay, so being dead kind of eliminates him from this discussion.

Donald J.

Trump, 5.1 percent.

Interesting.

5.1%.

That's a 40-month aggregate.

Not bad.

Stay the strength

and hold the line.

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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're just telling you about the inflation, the Consumer Price Index and the inflation inauguration month to the 40th month of the presidency, which is where we are today, and how incredible that is.

That

Joe Biden has increased inflation by 19.3% since he took office.

Only Jimmy Carter, at 37.8%,

did worse in his first 40 months.

Stusk.

Yeah, I will say that that's pretty good for Biden.

You don't really get the worst.

And the fact that he's only second worst in this one thing is really good for him.

That's really good.

They should be putting this in these campaign ads.

Only second worst in this one category.

I wouldn't be surprised, frankly.

I mean,

they make hay out of the worst possible statistics that they can.

But

Stu found some other economic indicators that are a little bit,

well, I think you're going to be really excited to hear them, frankly.

We'll get to that in one minute.

Since the terror attacks on October 7th, anti-Semitism has been on the rise, not just in Israel, but here at home in the U.S.

and around the world.

That's why we've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

And today,

you know, we're asking you to stand with both, you know, Ars and the stances that myself and Glenn and Pat have all taken on this issue, but also IFCJ 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 to 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 the pledge, and this will be delivered to the President of Israel to show that Christians in America are not only standing in solidarity, but they are speaking up as well.

Take a stand with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to let Jewish people know that they are not alone.

Sign the pledge.

Go to supportifcj.org.

Interesting story: I just read from CNBC that bad economic news has been good for stocks,

but that could change this week, they say.

I mean, that doesn't make any sense.

Either why it has been or

why is that about to change then?

We'll get into that in a sec, but you also found some interesting statistics that

are

maybe not the greatest news for the Biden administration.

I mean, some prices are a little bit higher than they were when he took over.

I would argue these are two jaw-dropping measures of our economy that maybe you haven't heard before.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me start first with orange juice.

Orange juice.

Yes.

All right.

Do you like a little OJ?

I do.

I love eating some orange juice.

It's a delicious way to start your day.

I eat at least one orange a day.

You do?

Yeah.

Every day.

You are weirdly healthy now, though.

That's annoying.

Yeah.

It's kind of weird.

You eat like you're supposed to eat

fruits and vegetables and such.

Things that...

Less vegetables and fruit, but a lot of fruit.

And less,

much less processed sugar.

Before

you had an issue with the diabetes.

Yes.

As Wilford Brimley might put it.

Yes.

And

before that issue, you ate mainly all

processed sugar.

Yes.

That's pretty much all you did.

Yeah.

And sometimes on the sugar, I would butter it, and then I'd eat it.

You butter the sugar.

Butter the sugar and then and then eat them both together.

Or just take a big spoonful of butter and then dip it in a sugar.

And like just this whole spoon goes in a sugar container.

Yeah.

It all kind of crystallizes, gets on top, and then you just eat it by the spoonful.

Exactly.

And sometimes I'd caramelize it, you know, with the little

flame thing.

And doctors recommended to stop.

They did recommend that I stop that.

Immediately.

And so I did.

You did.

It was either that

or die.

And I thought, hmm,

I think I'll stop then.

Do you still, now that you have to eat like healthy, do you feel like you're dead?

Does it feel basically like death?

Now you've actually come up with a way of eating it healthy that you actually like.

Yeah.

Which is impressive.

Yeah.

Does that include OJ?

Did you have a glass?

It does.

Well, not as much orange juice as actual oranges because the orange juice is higher in carbs.

Okay.

So I am kind of on a low carb carb diet.

Kind of.

I'm on a low carb diet.

Okay.

And so it's easier to just have the orange than the orange juice, but it's probably less expensive, too.

Yeah,

what you're about to tell me.

So frozen concentrated orange juice futures.

Okay.

You want to talk about us, and I feel bad.

Sometimes you just feel like you're just doing sexy topics just to get views and listens.

You know what I mean?

Clicks.

I was like, hey, today on the show, we're going to discuss frozen concentrated orange juice futures.

People are just like, oh, come on.

You're just

playing to the audience now.

That's just populism.

That's all that is.

Guilty is charged.

I have to say, you know, but

on January 1st, 2020, and I want to make sure I'm saying this date is clear here.

I am not saying March 18th, 2020, because you look at some economic measures.

This is what Biden does with employment numbers.

Oh, man.

Measures from the bottom of COVID to make it look like he's done a good job, which he is not.

Yeah.

But that's what they do.

I batted 11 million jobs.

Well, okay, you were,

first of all, cheered on and then were completely responsible for shutting down businesses across the country.

I don't know.

Maybe you can't take credit when you let them open up again and people got back to work.

But that's a whole other story.

But I bring that up just to point out this measures from January 1st, 2020.

So before COVID-19 started, certainly here in America.

At that time, January 1st, 2020, it was 95 cents a pound for, again, frozen concentrated orange juice futures.

Okay.

The price today.

From 95 cents a pound.

Yeah.

To $4.87 a pound.

Oh my God.

We are at five times the price

for frozen concentrated orange juice futures.

Now,

you, of course, have probably noticed when you're shopping that orange juice looks more expensive.

That's how much more expensive they are, the orange juice is.

And that's a staple of an American breakfast, right?

Like,

it is

again, another piece of American culture,

a foundation, right, of the quote-unquote most important meal of the day that is now five times what it was in January of 2020.

But that's not all.

That's not all, Pat.

In fact, this one, I think, because, you know, I guess you could make the yard.

You can have some, I don't know, Sunny Delight.

You can go to Sunny D, water.

You can go to water.

You can do what I do and just drink concentrated aspartame, whatever you want.

You can change up your drink.

This one's a little more difficult.

to avoid.

We know the mortgage prices have gone up for people people because of the rates have gone up.

The mortgage rates have gone up.

It's increasing house cost for every individual that wants to buy a home.

But I don't think I've ever seen it like this.

This, again, is from the New York Times.

I'm trying to do my best to not pull from some conservative person who's going to say, oh, well, you know, of course, Biden's bad.

I want people who think Biden is wonderful to tell me this stuff.

To make sure you know it's completely checked.

Here we go.

Economists put it to me like this, says the author.

If you were to sell your house today and buy an identical one across the street.

So same neighborhood.

Same neighborhood.

Same house.

Basically, think of the house across the street that's very similar to yours.

If you were to sell your house today and buy an identical one across the street, your payment would double.

God, my gosh.

Wow.

Now, this is in, you know, if you have an interest rate that you maybe had a few years ago.

Now, this does not factor in how much the house across the street has increased in value.

That's just

much more than double.

Yeah, of course.

This is just assuming that the price is the exact same as your house, right?

Like the same price you guys pay for at the same few years apart.

That would not happen, of course.

The prices have gone up largely because of inflation.

They've gone up a lot.

But other reasons as well.

But you're talking about a situation where getting the same thing costs you double.

And none of that is reflected in your inflation numbers.

The inflation numbers do not measure and never have, but don't measure, they don't really go into the

mortgage rate costs.

So when your inflate, your interest rates go up, that's not the type of thing

it will measure the change of house cost.

right so if you're buying something for 200 000 and it's 300 000 it will notice that difference but what it doesn't notice is the fact that you paid three 3% when you bought the house last time and you're paying seven or eight now.

And this is why, and I know we were, we were talking about this off the air a little bit, people who are reconsidering homeownership, looking to maybe sell their house, maybe move into, you know, either a rental or go buy another house.

It's a tough decision for them because

what you buy for the same amount of money kind of sucks.

Like you go and you look at, okay, I'm trading out this house for a new one.

well let's just say i want to make the same payment or ideally less well what are you getting for that you're getting a third of the house or a quarter of the house or at the very best maybe a half of the amount of house and a lot of people don't want to do that you know i have a friend who who was who had a three percent mortgage on their house which a lot of people did obviously from back in the day and were trying to consider whether they should buy or they should sell their home and when they decided to do it they were making a big profit on the sale because the price the house of the uh price of the house had gone up but they couldn't really do anything with that money because they needed to move somewhere else and then wound up taking this uh profit that they got and dumping it into uh new mortgage payments when they're most of it was going to interest

like well how does that benefit you you're getting a worse house and more of your money is going to interest however if you don't reinvest it in a house Then the federal government's going to come and take like half of it from you.

Yeah.

It's a no-win proposition right now.

And that's one of the reasons why housing costs are going up so much because people are facing that decision and deciding, you know what, I'm just going to stay.

And

the article is actually about starter homes.

And it's a pretty interesting read, again, in the New York Times, talking about how

these

young people growing up, They get their first house, a starter home.

And the way that's supposed to work is what, Pat?

Like you buy your starter home, your family grows, your income grows.

You buy up a home that's a little bit bigger.

Now you got three kids instead of one.

And you buy a home that's a little bit bigger.

You need extra bedrooms, blah, blah, blah.

This is life.

This has been American life forever.

Well, right now,

people aren't leaving those starter homes because they can't move up because of what has happened under Joe Biden.

Yeah.

And so there's no big supply of homes for them to

go to.

So they wind up staying in the small house, jamming extra kids into bedrooms and sharing bedrooms and doing all these things, and they're not moving up the ladder anymore.

This is real.

I was also reading that older Americans are staying in their home because they bought their home at a much lower interest rate.

It's worth a lot more now, and they could sell it for more, but.

They'd have to turn around and buy something that's much more expensive at a higher interest rate.

So they're keeping their homes too.

Yeah.

So it's, you know, that's another reason both ends of the spectrum spectrum are making it difficult because of the inventory.

So, yeah, the housing price has nowhere to go but up.

Yeah, I mean, like, there's a bunch of different, you know, sites you can go to, but, like, you know, Titan is one that I know of that does, they search for your best interest rates that you can just make on cash.

So, if you've got cash sitting in your bank account, they've maximized the amount you can make on it.

Right now, it looks like their smart cash is 5.29%.

So, cash you're keeping in your bank account, 5.29%.

If you got a 3% mortgage,

what's the incentive to pay that off?

You want to stay with that forever,

depending on your situation.

There's obviously some exceptions to that, but like it's an asset to protect

because you're going to have money just sitting in there and you're earning more money from it just sitting in a bank account than you are by paying off your mortgage early.

I mean,

that's very rare in history that that's a thing.

You know, that's not been common.

For sure.

And, you you know this is we could say this over and over it's just like five dollar

uh orange juice concentrated futures you don't see that very often

it's not supposed to be this way and that really should be the thing the prism that we're looking at this entire election through not supposed to be like this yeah because what do they tell us all through the 90s it's the economy stupid it's the economy well why aren't they saying that now because they got nothing on the economy democrats can't say that and so they don't want it mentioned.

They can't argue the economy right now because the economy is not good.

As much as they try to tell us it is, I mean, you look at the statistics and you see otherwise.

Patent Stu for Glenn today.

Did you see this story from Oregon?

A Trump-appointed federal judge, Patrick Boumatai,

just dissented in a court case and issued a warning to Americans because it's so outrageous what's going on in Oregon right now.

He wrote in his dissenting opinion, I do not say this lightly.

The injunction the majority affirms here is both reckless and extreme.

It orders the state of Oregon to release from jail all criminal

defendants

who've left their phone on.

Yes, Pat has left his phone on.

All criminal defendants have left their phone on.

In Oregon.

In Oregon.

In Oregon.

And Texas.

Wow, wow, you're really not good.

You're in seriousness.

I'm in real trouble right now.

It orders the state of Oregon to release from jail all criminal defendants not appointed state-funded counsel within seven days of their initial appearance.

Given the complexities of the situation and the shortage of public defense counsel, the result of this order is that more than a hundred criminal defendants will be immediately released from jail.

Those being released are not sitting there for some petty offense.

Just look at the charges of the named petitioners here.

They're accused of rape, kidnapping, strangulation.

assaulting a police officer, public indecency, and burglary.

All will now be released into Oregon's communities.

And of course, it'll all stay right there, so nobody else has to worry about this.

No, that's right.

This is Oregon's problem.

That's good.

Don't worry about it.

But this is not the end of it.

Countless others will be released on an ongoing basis because the injunction applies prospectively.

To avoid the inevitable chaos, our court wisely paused the district court's extraordinary order pending appeal, but that wisdom has run out.

The majority now endorses the release scheme, lifts the stay of the injunction, and lets it take immediate effect.

By doing so, the Ninth Circuit is now complicit in a judicial jail break.

I fear the coming disorder.

Yeah.

Really?

Don't worry about it.

Worry about that.

That's shocking.

I'm sure they're all wonderful people.

So they've committed rape, strangulation.

Yeah, assault.

Let them out.

Just let them go.

I'm sure they'll be fine now.

I'm sure they're all rehabilitated and they're just going to be good, decent, all-American citizens in Oregon.

That'll be great.

It's so funny.

They let everyone out of prison, but then at the same time, cheer on when a guy gets convicted of 34 felonies because he made one payment.

Right.

Right.

And entered it wrong on a piece of paper.

Unquestionably.

I mean, I wouldn't have to do that.

I mean, wait, questionably.

For sure.

I mean, what did he, he, he, he,

again, he didn't write anything down.

This is another point, right?

He didn't write anything down.

He doesn't keep his own books?

No, he doesn't.

That's what you're saying.

Someone else had a drop-down.

There's a drop-down menu in this program, right?

Like, if you're doing a tax program, there's a drop-down menu in the program.

One of the options was accounting services or excuse me, attorney fees or attorney services.

And that's the one they used.

And they said, well, that's not really what it was.

It was actually hush money to porn star.

And that's not in the drop-down menu.

There's no hush money to porn star in the drop down menu now maybe if there were

you could be a little more upset about such things but no this was this just said you know uh attorney fees or attorney retainer

and that is it was a payment to his attorney i mean i again like i i don't even know it doesn't seem to me like they made the case that it even went to her because didn't she She signed a thing that did that it never happened years ago, right?

Didn't she?

Well, she said the affair did not happen, right?

She didn't say the payment didn't happen.

If the affair didn't happen, why would the payment happen?

Well, of course, you know,

there's argument to say that maybe the affair didn't happen, right?

Like, I guess like the argument is that she wasn't telling the truth in 2018.

Right.

And is now.

But again, you still have to believe that she did say that publicly multiple times and it didn't happen.

She also said the opposite multiple times that it did happen.

So I don't know, you know, again, but that's not even important.

It was a bookkeeping case.

It had nothing to do with whether they had sex or not.

Yet, of course, that was all allowed into the trial.

All the details about how she, the room started spinning.

As you may have noted by today's program, we have a lot of work to do in this country.

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

But hope persists for the time being, at least.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today, 888 727B E C K.

I guess some polls have been released since conviction day.

Yeah, and it's been people are looking at

how this will be affected.

And to give you kind of a prelude to this, Pat, leading into this, there was a poll by

Sienna College, I think it was, that said, asked an interesting question.

First, they asked, who are you supporting for president?

Okay.

Yeah.

And obviously, there was a split between Trump and Biden.

The people who said Trump, though, they took those people out and isolated them and said, okay, you voted for, you already said you're a Trump supporter.

Now,

would you change your mind and vote for Joe Biden if Donald Trump were convicted of a felony?

Okay.

And this is an interesting question because I think if you just ask that generally, you might get some Democrats who say they're Republicans who are going to change their votes.

You might get some, you know,

Independents who are like, well, really on the fence or not really committed.

You might even get some Trump voters who are like, ah, I'm going to vote for, I don't know, RFK Jr.

or another third-party candidate, right?

This is very specific.

These are people who, before they knew they were being asked this,

they were asked who they were supporting and they said Donald Trump.

They volunteered Donald Trump.

And then were asked, would you switch from Donald Trump to Joe Biden?

So think about who that person is.

I mean, I can't think of anybody that I know off the top of my head that would be like, you know what, I'm about to vote for Donald Trump, but

I'm going to vote for Joe Biden instead.

Like, there's very little

crossover there.

Now, there is crossover with RFK or other third-party candidates.

Like, I do know people who are like, well,

I really am struggling with Donald Trump for this reason or another, or I really like RFK, but I'm considering Trump.

Like, I know those people.

I don't know anyone who's like, you know, right now I'll tell you Donald Trump, but I may change my mind to Joe Biden.

I don't know anyone.

Do you know one person?

A single person who's considering that?

Nope.

Or the other way around.

Like, if you're like, I'm going to vote for Joe Biden, but you know, I might just consider Trump.

I don't even know those people anymore.

Most of those people, I think, have already moved.

Yeah.

Right.

Like, I think there was a lot of those people.

That exist, but like, most of those people have already made that decision after watching the last four years.

So

thinking about this,

the percentage of Trump supporters who said before the conviction they would switch to Joe Biden if he was convicted of a felony was 7%.

7% of Trump voters said they would do that.

Now that's high to me.

I was surprised it was that high.

Yeah.

But if you think about what does that mean overall, you're talking about probably like 3% of overall voters would fall into that category.

So the question is, if those people are to be believed, which I'm a big skeptic on, like I don't, I don't believe people who make that determination.

I mean, a large chunk of this, you have to think of, is people

projecting how they may feel five months from now, five months away from this verdict.

You know, a lot's going to happen.

A lot is going to happen in the next 20 plus weeks of watching this election on a day-to-day basis.

But if you take them at their word,

apparently going to have at least two debates, right?

Which could make a difference in some people's minds.

One of which, by the way, is three weeks away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And now, will Joe Biden drop out of that because he won't debate a felon?

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Because he just uses that as an excuse.

Yep.

I won't.

How I can.

I will not debate a felon, a convicted felon.

I will not get on the same stage with him.

I could see that happening.

Absolutely.

Just to get out of this thing.

Now, will he sit at the same Thanksgiving dinner table as his son, who will probably also be a convicted felon by then?

Apparently, that's not a problem.

No, that's fine.

That's totally fine.

But we do know that the justice system will let us down again then.

It's impossible to question this now, but by the time that happens, it will be totally questionable once more.

So get ready for that.

Yes.

And the next Supreme Court ruling they don't like.

That will be a judicial problem.

That just sucks.

Yes, yes.

And you should question, and it's illegitimate.

And, you know,

so

it's incredible.

So there's been, I think, five polls that have come out that have had some measure as to what happened since this conviction happened.

And I'm doing this by memory, but it was five polls.

It was two polls showed a move to Joe Biden by 2%,

two percentage points.

One

two polls showed no change at all.

And one poll showed a one-point movement to Donald Trump.

Wow.

So basically, I mean, if you summarize these five polls, what you would find is basically nothing.

Basically no movement.

Stayed pretty much at all.

Pretty much everyone stayed in their lanes.

Now, you would, if you average all that out, you'd wind up with a, you know, a quarter of a point or three quarters of a point toward Biden and movement.

which is somewhat similar.

You know, it's a fraction of that 7% of Trump voters switching.

Maybe there have been a few.

You know, I mean, I'm not saying that there hasn't been any.

I just, I'm surprised, and I don't know the profile of that person, but it wouldn't be surprising if a few people changed on that, especially in the direct aftermath.

I'm much more skeptical of it holding up over months.

I mean, if you think about all the things we're going to be dealing with over the next five months of election coverage, the idea that something that happened in late May is going to be the determinative factor for the 2024 election.

It's really surprising.

If that's what happens, I'll be shocked.

Yeah, me too.

And I too.

It'll be tough to detect, but I'll be able to do that.

I think gas prices will be a more compelling issue than the trial by then.

Yeah.

And the Saudi's just raised the prices again.

So our gas prices are probably going to go up again.

And man, just last week, the time before last, it's weird because

I paid $92.50 to fill up my gas tank.

$90 on a four-door sedan.

$92.50.

I mean, that's...

And that's here.

In Texas, where prices are relatively low.

Right.

Yeah, it's not California where they're, what, $5, $6 a gallon.

I was in California

a month ago and, you know, in a new way.

Where were they then?

Back to the airport, and I saw one over $7 a gallon.

Oh, my God.

$7

a gallon.

And I was too slow with my fat fingers to take a picture of it in my phone, but I did see it.

And there were some that were in the sixes as well.

Some of them were a little bit lower, but no,

it was Los Angeles.

Yeah.

So not the cheapest area, I would assume, of

California.

But still, I mean,

how do you live there?

Between the housing prices and the gas prices?

Yeah.

It's crazy, too, because

the gas prices in New York City are really high.

But also, you don't usually buy gas in Manhattan.

Most people don't have cars.

The cabs that are fueling up are not fueling up in midtown Manhattan.

Like Los Angeles, the entire club everywhere you go is a car.

We were just going from, I think we were staying in West Hollywood, going downtown to go to a show.

We were out there for the comedy show.

And it was 45 minutes.

We're in, it was like, Los Angeles to Los Angeles.

45 minutes to an hour.

And with traffic, it was over an hour, actually.

It was 45 minutes, like just a normal drive, like barely, basically without traffic.

It's not far.

It just takes you forever.

You're on surface streets.

You're driving everywhere.

And you're not necessarily on highways most of the time.

It was really bad.

But I can't even

how Gavin Newsom could get one single vote.

I would think if he ran, when he ran for re-election, he would be shut out.

He would get 0%.

They'd be like, Gavin, didn't you even vote for yourself?

He's like, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Like, that's what that, how that election should have been.

That's such a piss poor job that I couldn't.

I couldn't even vote for me.

I couldn't.

And you guys don't even know that half of it.

I've been there for all the stuff.

Like, I know how bad it is.

I'm the least likely guy to vote for me.

I'm most aware of the crap.

I remember what a hypocrite I am.

Yeah.

I told everybody else they couldn't go out, and then I went out.

And you guys just saw me that one time at the French laundry.

I was out like every night that week

on like April 18th, 2020.

I was out at a three-course meal.

You know he was.

He doesn't care at all.

He doesn't care at all.

He's absolutely terrible.

But I mean, are you surprised by,

I mean, I'm not surprised.

I just feel like people are entrenched.

I don't think you're going to see much movement from this type of stuff.

Now, look, if it winds up turning out that it's a three-quarters of a point in the national vote, actually moves because of this, and we'll never know for sure.

But if that does occur, it could be the difference in the election.

I mean, I don't know if you've gone through the process yet, Pat, of like building maps and like looking at electoral votes.

I have not, like, you know, nerds do.

But if you kind of look at like the states,

the way we expect this to go out and leave the most obvious six swing states, right?

You have a, before we fill in any of the swing states, you've got Trump at 235, Biden 226.

Okay.

If you want to give Georgia to Trump, that brings you to 251.

All right.

You want to go Nevada to Trump.

He's polled very well there.

That gets you to 257.

Okay.

We're getting close.

You're going to give Arizona to 270, right?

Yeah.

You're going to give Arizona to Trump.

That gets you to 268.

Ooh, we're two away.

Right.

The problem here is, oh, man, you still need to win either Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania's looking pretty good, isn't it?

The polling is very, very close in all three of those states.

Yeah.

Basically toss-up territory.

So you put all three of those in Biden's category.

He wins 270 to 268.

Now, there's a couple of districts that you're assuming there are.

Oh, my gosh.

Now, if it's 270 to 268 the other way, I assure you they will tell you it's stolen.

Yeah, they will.

They will tell you it's stolen, and you will say, wait a minute, weren't you saying for the past four years elections?

That's a denial.

Yeah, what about that?

And they will act like they never said it.

They will.

That is how that will occur.

You can write it down right now.

That is what they will do.

Just like they will do.

If Hunter Biden gets convicted to multiple years in prison, they will tell you it was unfair.

It was a Republican

operated

effort to target the president's son.

Of course, I don't think he's going to be convicted, but if he is,

that is what they will tell you.

Yep.

So right now, if you look at these polls, Pat,

and you kind of just glance around,

the three states we just gave to

Trump look pretty good for him.

He's up four points in Arizona.

And again, four-point lead in Arizona five months out does not mean he's winning it.

No, but he's looking pretty good.

That's a good indication.

His polling in Nevada has been very good, up 5.4.

He was up 12 in one of the polls.

Average is 5.4 points, according to Real Clear Politics.

And I'll give you the third state there, which was Georgia, and that one Trump leads by 4.8.

So he's got a margin there that's, you know,

right on the outskirts of margin of error, or maybe a little bit beyond it in those states.

If you go to the other three states, he'd have to win one of them.

Things get a lot more tight.

He is up by 0.1% in Wisconsin.

Wow.

In the polls.

Geez.

He's outperformed in Wisconsin the last couple of elections, what polling said.

But he's up by 0.1% there.

In Michigan, he is up by half a point on average.

And in Pennsylvania, he is up by 2.3 points.

Now, Pennsylvania, a little bit more cushion than those other two states, but man,

it's not a definite home run

when it comes to the electoral map.

Triple 8, 727, back.

A beach trip turned into a breakdown is really a bummer.

I mean, a summer can take a toll on your car with things like a broken AC or overheating, electrical issues.

An AC compressor compressor can cost over 900 bucks.

A condenser?

Who even knows what a condenser?

Did you even know your car had a condenser, Pat?

Probably not.

No.

No.

No idea.

Over $800.

A window switch motor, $500.

A window switch motor.

Well, now when you press it.

Yeah, I've replaced that like 17 times.

Oh, yeah.

On my own.

I'm just so handy with that.

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.

Not everyone's as handy as you, Pat.

Back on the

wagon today with Studios America, new episode coming up.

We're going to go into the Trump trial and some of this polling, go a little deeper than we were able to hear today,

go into some of the polling and how this is changing, what we should look for as far as effects, and some of the dumb dumb reactions from the left.

We'll get into that stuff.

Is there any other reaction from the left than dumb?

I don't think that's about one of them.

It's the only kind of reaction that you hear from them or see from them.

It really is incredible.

They're so stupid.

This is so disingenuous.

Like, just

give in a little bit.

Just say, look, we know how bad this looks.

I get it.

And, like, look, I think Trump has been the worst blah, blah, blah, blah.

Could say all those things, but this is ridiculous.

This particular outcome is absurd you know who's the closest maybe to saying that is bill maher and he's the only one yeah the only one and he's you know he does he count anymore like no because he is

he is still a liberal but he just is so now like i mean the leftist gone so far out of bounds that I don't think he can go there with them.

He's kind of in his own category now.

He's no longer a typical leftist.

He's now just, you know, like what used to be a typical leftist or typical Democrat.

Now I don't, I don't think that he even belongs in the party anymore.

No, not at all.
