You Can’t Blame Taylor Swift for Biden Voters | 1/30/24

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

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

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

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

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

It's hard to know when an emergency is going to occur, whether it's something happening directly to you, something in your region, even something nationwide or global.

It's all up in the air.

In fact, the only guarantee is that bad things will, of course, happen at some point in life, and you need to prepare for them.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stay the straight

and hold the line.

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

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Today it's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

You'll have to pardon me in advance.

I'm a little fired up about something today.

I think somebody needs to be removed from the United States Congress.

We'll get into who and why

in one minute.

Ever since the dark day of September 11th, 2001, the Tunnellton Towers Foundation has been helping American heroes and their families.

It's their way of living up to that promise that we all made that day.

Never forget.

They pay the mortgages for the families of those who don't come home from service, and they build mortgage-free smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders so that they can live more independent lives.

They're providing housing and other vital services to homeless veterans.

And sadly, there are a lot lot of homeless veterans to help, over 3,000 in 2023 alone.

Their 9-11 Institute is helping teachers across the country educate our kids about 9-11.

That is very much needed in our society.

So that the next generation won't forget either.

Our military and first responder heroes deserve the best that we can give them.

And the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is there to provide as much of that as they can.

But they can't do it alone.

They need help from people like you and like me.

So please be generous today if you can.

Donate $11 a month to tunnelstotowers.com.

Go to t2t.org is the actual address.

t2t.org.

It's t, the number two, t.org.

All right, Pat and Stu for Glenn today, triple eight, 727BECK.

How did Minnesota become,

I don't know, the Somalian capital of the world?

Especially with the weather happening.

You'd think that people from Somalia would not like it in Minnesota.

You wouldn't think that's where they would gravitate.

No.

Would you?

But they've gravitated in such numbers that they elected one of their own, a Somali, and obviously a Somali first person, to be their representative from Minnesota in Washington, D.C., so that she could do the bidding of Somalia.

Yeah, it's a less popular version of America First.

Somalia first.

We need a bit different version.

Interesting perspective.

Yeah.

Like America

last.

First is Somalia.

Second is Islam.

And then

the Palestinians are in there.

Maybe third.

And then.

They might be second to last.

The Jews might be last.

Yeah, right.

Right.

Yeah, babies in the womb are way down there as well.

They're way down there.

The Jews always low on Elon's list.

Yes.

But America might be last.

Which is interesting because the oath she took when

she got got into Congress goes this way.

I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

It doesn't say the Constitution of Somalia.

I don't even know if Somalia has a Constitution.

Do they?

I assume they've got some sort of national charter.

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, meaning the United States.

That I take this this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.

Hmm.

Okay, well,

she was giving a speech to Somalis in Minnesota, and

this happens to be in Somali.

Can I ask you a question as a broadcaster?

Uh-huh.

Have you gone through this clip on your show, Pat Gray Unleashed yet?

I have, yeah.

Are you capable of speaking as fast as this?

No, I am not.

So I'm going to have to pause the video a few times.

Because Glenn and I talked about this the other day, and we were sort of playing this clip.

And usually what happens is you hear about 45 seconds of talking and two words in English

pop up.

It's like completely inefficient.

Apparently, Somalian is the most

efficient language of all time.

She speaks like four words and three paragraphs pick up and then pop on the screen and it's over.

It's over.

It's going to be tough.

This is a Pat Gray test right here.

You know, Glenn Beck, Radio Hall of Fame.

Pat Gray, I would say on the bubble right now.

I mean, you know, a couple good shows, and you're in.

Right.

So if you can pull this off, I think

I'm leading the campaign.

Pat Gray, Radio Hall of Fame.

But how many times did Glenn stop the video?

He just

tried to summarize it really.

It was hilarious watching because I'm just sitting here watching the text and realizing he's skipping all sorts of words.

And it got going so fast at some point that he couldn't even get

the basic concept of what she was saying.

We just had to stop it.

So, hopefully, they're prepared for stopping and starting this video to assist Pat Gray.

And I might get a jump on her because,

yeah, just

she's about to say, many Somalians have personally called me to encourage me to speak to the U.S.

government.

Let her say that.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Let's hear it.

It's a lovely language.

Pause it for a second.

And help Somalia.

They wanted to know what the U.S.

government could do for Somalia to ensure the

MOU, I think it is.

MOU.

I don't know what the MOU never turns into a full bilateral agreement.

Okay.

My answer to Somalians was that the U.S.

government will only do what the Somalians in the U.S.

tell them to do.

They will do what we want and nothing else.

They must follow our orders, and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia.

We Somalians must have that confidence in ourselves that

we call the shots

for the U.S.

We live in the U.S., pay taxes in the U.S., and

have a voice.

The U.S.

is a country where one of your daughters, myself, is in Congress to represent your interest.

For as long as I'm in the U.S.

Congress, Somalia will never be in danger.

Its waters, the Indian Ocean, will never be stolen by Ethiopia or

what a laughable promise that is.

Ilan Omar is,

look, she is

well known because

she

is

very anti-Semitic.

She is,

she was in the squad.

She got that attention when she came into office.

Wasn't she in like a music video back in the day?

She had like some sort of like coolness factor.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Someone looked that up.

What music video was she?

Married your brother so that you should stay in this country.

Yep.

Well, which is kind of like allegedly.

And so she's well known for that.

But in reality, what she is, is one of 435.

Yeah.

She's, you know, basically, look, one congressman can do very, very little.

She seems extremely confident, though, that she can pull this off for Somalis in the United States.

Explain to me the constitutional process that allows one congressperson to stop Ethiopia from taking the straights from the city.

She does have some help.

She's got AOC.

No, she just has helped.

Rashida Talib and Corey Bush.

And there is, well, there is a legitimate thing that happens.

You know, the Progressive Caucus has been like this.

Well, look, they'll all come together and take each other's pet causes up and try to bring it to the attention.

And Democrats will typically go along with it.

I mean, it's not completely impossible for her to win these battles, but like she's making promises that she has absolutely no power to keep individually.

Like, these are promises that she's just.

This is how politicians talk.

You realize they say the same stuff to us.

They say it all the time.

I'm going to.

I'm going to.

Although, scant few representatives, Stu,

are this passionate about doing the bidding of their district

as she is.

No, it's true.

Well,

I I disagree.

The district is Somalia, so she actually does not represent Somalia, and that's kind of the problem with this clip.

But it is,

she does actually seem to care what her constituents care about.

Yeah,

Somalia.

By the way, Maroon 5, she was in.

Maroon 5, Girls Like You.

She's in that view.

Really?

Yeah, this is before she was a Congresswoman.

She's in Maroon 5.

You know, again, I'm the

you know.

Do we know how that came to be?

I believe she's a family.

She's friends with What's His face?

Is she friends with What's Can we get a ruling on whether she's friends with WhatsApp's face?

Is that possible?

We don't know.

But

some people find her to be attractive, and apparently that was the

impetus to be.

I mean, as most

video appearances are, that's kind of how that happens, I guess.

But I don't know.

Was she pitching for Somalia?

Does Adam Levine now support Somalia?

We don't know.

We don't know.

We don't know.

We'll have to get a ruling from him on that.

But this woman doesn't give a rat's anus about America's southern border.

Nicely put.

That's true.

I think that's true.

But she does have a priority about Somalia's borders.

So that's great.

How is she not being expelled from Congress?

How is that not happening?

I mean,

it's a clear violation of her oath of office here

that we read moments ago.

I mean,

her clear priority is Somalia.

And if that's your priority, why aren't you in Somalia doing Somalia's bidding?

There's no music videos made in Somalia.

Oh, okay.

Is that true?

Yeah, Maroon 5 doesn't play there.

That's another thing we should talk to Adam about.

Yeah.

Adam Levine.

We got Adam Levine coming up.

We're going to ask him about

what his feelings are in the Somalian conflict with Ethiopia.

He's big on that, from what I understand.

No,

I don't know that there's another way to take this.

I mean, she doesn't explicitly say Somalia over the United States, I guess, which would be the only thing that you could do in excess of what she's done.

Right.

And she claims that that wasn't.

No, she was talking about the interest of Somalis in this country, so it's still America first.

But that's not what she says, right?

I mean, it's not what she says in the video.

I will say the interest.

But that's her excuse.

How is it an American interest as to whether Ethiopia is taking a straight from

Somalia?

I don't know.

The left used to always use against conservatives and say, oh, you like libertarianism?

Try Somalia.

They don't even have a government.

Is that what you want?

I'm like, no, that's not with the Constitution.

That's what we want.

We wanted the Constitution of this country, not the Constitution of Somalia.

But like, you know, there are, I'm sure, just like the, you know, someone who's Jewish here in the United States, like has interest in Israel, but like is still an American citizen first.

Yeah.

Right.

You still want to protect your homeland, you know, but that doesn't mean, and that in homeland, I use in air quotes there,

because that's, you know, in many cases, not their homeland.

They were born here, but they still have interest.

I can understand that.

They may have relatives there.

There's, there's reasons to be interested in that vicinity, but like that is secondary to your American citizenship.

Yeah, some of us pay attention to our heritage, I guess.

You know, if you've

got roots in other countries,

Barack Obama talked about Kenya a little bit, his family being from there.

He being from there, and his wife discussed it.

That is what's not what the truth is, but that is what his wife did say that once.

She did say it a couple of times.

Yes, a couple of times.

However, obviously born in Hawaii.

Thank you.

Obviously,

clearly.

We don't want to make any mistake about that.

Every candidate now is accused of this, by the way.

Yeah.

Every candidate.

Including Nikki Haley just got it.

The birther thing.

Like, that is just now traditional part of American campaigning.

Even though she was clearly born in South Carolina, because her parents immigrated from India, now she's not eligible.

I don't know where that is in the Constitution.

I will tell you when it goes away, the second she drops out.

That's when it goes away.

It no longer becomes a concern to anybody.

But

that's probably coming very soon, at least the next month or so, to a theater near you.

But I don't know.

Can you, I mean, is there any precedence, Pat, of expelling a congresswoman for this type of thing?

I mean, not that I know of.

Yeah.

A violation of the oath.

But, I mean, it's pretty rare that they would do this.

It had to be pretty egregious.

She's denying it.

I mean, it would be tough to do, though, by the letter of the law, it seems like she deserves it.

It does to me.

I mean, I think it's pretty clear.

And she's made.

She's made her feelings known in that regard

a number of times.

Like, every time she opens her mouth, you know that America is not her priority here.

It's really astounding that she would be this bold with it and make that speech in Somali, or maybe that was Arabic.

I don't know.

One of the two.

Do you know which it was?

Because I know you're fluent in both.

I'm fluent in both, so I get mixed up sometimes.

Yeah.

But I'm sure nothing will be done.

You know, nothing will come of it.

She'll continue to write out

term in office, and then she'll be re-elected, no doubt.

I will say I am happier that she's talking about the interests of Somali and Somalians and Somalia generally rather than her typical speech topic, which is how much she hates Jews.

I think it's better that she thinks she likes

Somalians and Somali culture than how much she just really hopes the Jews go into the sea.

I prefer this new approach.

It's the softer side of Ilan Omar.

She cares about Somalia over the United States, sure, but she's not outwardly calling for the death of Jews, which is a nice switch.

That's something.

Yeah, you know, it's just, it's just a preference, a personal preference, right?

Everyone has their taste.

And my taste would be, hey, glad you're talking about maybe, you know, that I'm big on that Ethiopian strait issue.

I'm glad that she's talking about that rather than, you know, hey, October 7th was a wonderful festival.

That, I think, is a better direction.

It's a silver lining.

Right?

It's a silver lining.

Thank you.

More coming up in one minute.

All right, you might think, hey, I need some sleep because I keep reading the news and it's my life is hell because of it.

Well, if that's true, think about this.

The lights are out.

The house is quiet.

Everyone's tucked neatly into their beds, peacefully dreaming as their bodies get the rest that they need.

Well, everyone except you, that is.

If this situation sounds familiar, I'll bet you really wish that it wasn't.

There's nothing more frustrating than having to go through your day all bleary-eyed from a lack of sleep from the night before.

I don't have difficulty sleeping, luckily, but on the nights when you do, you can reach for Relief Factor Sleep.

You know what happens?

Well, you could sleep soundly and you can wake up the next day feeling refreshed.

Just like regular Relief Factor that you take for pain, Relief Factor Sleep is 100% drug-free.

It's a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood, and promoting relaxation.

It's something like, I know Glenn has said he felt the difference from the first night he took it.

And the first bottle is only $19.95.

So check it out.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number 4, relief.

It's 800, the number 4, relief, or go to relief factor.com, relief factor.com, dream big, and sleep tight with relief factor.

10 seconds, station ID.

And of course, speaking of Somalians, federal authorities caught a terrorist at the U.S.

southern border and then decided, no, no, that's not a terrorist.

They released him into the country where he roamed freely for about a year

before being rearrested in Minnesota just days ago.

The unnamed individual who...

He doesn't have a name?

No, he's unnamed.

He's just

thinking of anything.

They couldn't think of a single thing.

Wow.

This couldn't come.

Kind of weird.

They were like, I don't know, Bob.

No.

I guess they called him Hey Yu most of his life.

And he's a member of the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab.

He was released shortly after being caught illegally crossing the border, the southern border, of course, near San Ysidro, California.

They ran his name or the lack of name through the terror watch list and they decided, nah, that's not the same guy.

And then, unfortunately, later, they were reviewing some of these decisions and realized, oh, no, that is the guy.

Maybe we should arrest him.

And so they did in Minneapolis a couple of days ago.

What a cluster.

It is.

I mean, what does it take?

The guy's name is on the terror watch list.

You've found him, try to cross the border.

You found him on the terror watch list and you're like, nah, that can't be him.

Let him go.

And so he roams the country for a year doing who knows what until you finally, you know, get your heads out of your butts and realize, no, wait, we had that guy.

I don't understand how this keeps happening.

How is this possible?

There's a constant lean toward just screwing these things up, right?

Like there's never, it's not neutral.

It's not, hey, we should do these things right.

It seems like the lean is always towards screwing all these things up.

Like there's always a lean towards, ah, let's just let these people free in the country.

See what happens.

Let's give it a whirl.

It's as if we have an obligation to allow everybody who wants in.

It's actually not true.

And that is not true.

That's not the case.

We should go.

Maybe we can go through later in the show the details of this proposed border solution.

Yeah, yes, we should do that.

I mean, there's some of it in there.

Now, this is the border solution that the president is trying so hard to get past so he can finally do something about it.

That's how you know it's good.

Yeah.

If Joe Biden wants it, a guy who has completely ignored the border for three full years, you know, it must be super successful.

Damn Republicans.

You know, they're so bad.

They're fighting him so hard on border security.

All he wants to do is secure the border from day one.

That's all he's wanted to do.

And the Republicans keep saying, no, we want open borders.

Yeah.

It's just really upsetting.

Now, I don't know what happened to the racist part of this because I was told the only reason you'd want to control the borders if you were a racist.

We've been told that for years and years and years.

Now Joe Biden says he wants to do it.

And now no hardcore racist comes into it at all.

I mean,

he does, there is actual evidence of Joe Biden being a racist.

I don't know if this is

just a playoff of that.

He's just come along to maybe he really wants to keep the Indians out because they only are allowed at 7-Elevens, as he's said in the past.

I'm not sure.

Or maybe he doesn't want African Americans here because he doesn't think many of them are articulate and clean, like Barack Obama.

I'm not sure which one of these policies of his are the ones that would motivate.

Maybe it's because if they don't vote for him, they're not black.

They're not even black.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's one of these policies is implemented here with all of this racism on the border.

But now he wants you to know Joe Biden border hawk is here.

Is it possible for any human being to fall for this?

I don't know how, but I'm sure they do.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot will.

It's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing if anyone would fall for this.

The guy has done the exact opposite of this the entire time he's been president.

And now a few months before the campaign here as we're kicking up piece of beer now he's a border hawk oh these republicans if they would just let me close the border it's laughable

all right more coming up

glenn back

so what happens if you find yourself in a situation where force is called for but deadly force isn't when you have to make that split second decision that could end the life of a fellow human being and possibly ruin your own life in the process we've seen how uh that work plays out in the legal process over and over again.

Maybe you got a taser.

You got to be pretty close with a taser.

What about a Berna launcher?

These things are awesome, by the way.

A non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and family.

It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18.

It has tear gas and kinetic rounds with 60-foot range, and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Government agencies and law enforcement are using these all around the country.

I was over at Glenn's place and they had these set up.

They had a course set up where you go and do target shooting.

And I was very excited that I could beat him because I was hoping there'd be running in between the stations.

And that's where I knew I could pick up space because he's a better shot than I am.

But unfortunately, you know, all he had to do was turn, and he's still capable of doing that.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn today.

You know, it's great as we have this hawkish president of the United States right now.

He's ready to put the hammer down on the border.

Shut it down.

I'm concerned he's too strong on the border, Pat.

Me, too.

It's almost xenophobic at this point.

Yeah, I mean, does he ever want anyone to even be able to visit?

I don't know.

He's so strong on immigration now.

So powerful and so committed to closing that border.

He really is.

He's sort of like the overweight, out-of-shape person on day one of the new year, just at the gym, hardcore

hours, just like going for it.

And then they get, you know, a little sore and never come back and never cancel the membership.

We're sort of there.

It's so fake, though.

I mean, in this,

to use that example, he never actually goes to the gym.

He just posts on Instagram about it.

I'm about to go to the gym.

A new year to me.

And then he never shows up.

Oh, the poor equipment is left there lonely.

But man, we tried yesterday to get across how committed he is to this.

It's so pathetic.

I mean, I've never seen anything like this.

You fall for this.

You are an idiot.

I mean, I mean that

I love you.

I'm sure you're a good person.

But how do you tie your shoes on a daily basis?

If you can suddenly believe this buffoon all of a sudden is a border hawk, you deserve your vote to be taken away.

Yeah.

Learn, learn, then vote.

The order is important.

Wait, what if I vote and then I learn about it?

Is that

just as good?

You should learn first to educate yourself so that you can come up with a reason to pick one of the candidates and then vote for that candidate.

Huh.

A lot of people doing it in the reverse, though, Pat.

Or just doing the voting part of it, never doing the learning part of it.

But what if Taylor Swift tells me to vote for Joe Biden?

then have I done the right thing in voting for him?

You know, no.

And we've seen how Taylor Swift can influence a campaign with a Tennessee Senate race from back in the day.

I can't even remember the candidate.

I can tell you he's not a senator.

That part, I can tell you.

I mean, people didn't take her advice?

No.

That's weird.

That's another ⁇ we should talk about that

coming up.

But let's do this Joe Biden clip.

This is him talking.

about the border and how he just want remember shutting down the border would be xenophobic racist but now joe biden wants to wants you to believe that he wants to do it immediately listen it'll also get me as president

the emergency authorities shut down the border until it could get back under control

if that bill were the law today i'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly

seriously laughable

it's not even getting it's not even worth getting pissed off about because it's so ridiculous right i did you get to this point pat i i'm here here often these days.

But if we do that,

if we as a country

let him get away with that and reward him with four more years of the presidency, we deserve everything

we get.

We're just not a serious nation.

It's not something that should be conserved or maintained.

It's so

far.

We're beyond redemption.

Beyond lost, right?

Like, I mean, we'll all try to make the best of our lives going forward, but let's be honest, the experiment is over.

We lost.

We blew it.

Okay?

We tried.

That's the only only conclusion you can reach if this works.

If that works.

I mean, it's like,

it's like a person who is like, it's like someone who's a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan, one day coming out and advocating strong for the New York Yankees.

It's so blatantly false and so obvious on its face that he doesn't mean this.

And then he just looks at the polls and realizes, holy

crap, I'm in trouble in this election if I don't find a way to politically justify what's going on.

Yeah.

And so what they do is just pretend like this has been our stance the whole time.

Yeah.

We've always been border hawks.

What are you talking about?

We're trying to clean up the mess that the previous administration left for us.

Are you serious?

Insanity.

You reversed everything he did day one.

That was working.

That was working.

And he acts like

he just hasn't had the power to stop this.

Well, wait.

A couple of months ago, you were saying it wasn't even a problem.

Your

border guy, your guy said that

the border was secure.

Those were Alejandro Mayorkas's very words.

The border, the border is secure.

Gensaki said,

Yep, said the same thing.

And again, we're at a place where we're, what, two and three times what it was when Donald Trump was president, or even when Barack Obama was president.

The border is secure.

Uh-huh.

Now it's a problem and he's desperately trying to get these damn Republicans to help him out on fixing it.

Oh my gosh.

And just to give you a cool sense before we go into the details of this bill, I did this on, I went into more detail on State of the Race, which is a podcast, a startup bonus podcast that we're just going through and giving you the details of what you need to know for the election as we go through election season.

It's available, by the way, audio only, wherever you get your podcasts on the Studios America feed.

I encourage you to go sign up for it.

But

it's a free podcast.

And one of the things we went through this morning was why Biden is doing this.

Like, why,

what is motivating him?

Let me give you a couple of polls.

The situation of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Now, this is something, Pat, I mean, we've been doing the show in some form, at some level together for a quarter century, basically

and ever since the day I heard you talk on the air I heard you talk about the border and how important it was and how it was out of control like this goes back a long time conservatives for a very long time have said the border is a big issue however at some points in our history it has been almost a concern unique to the right like conservatives were like well we care about it but no one else cares about it or like they'll be saying well let you know uh

security might be important after September 11th.

But still, it wasn't like a focus.

It was more of like a complaint where conservatives said, look, look, we have laws.

You have to fall.

We lose our civilization if we don't enforce our laws.

And that was always a big part of the complaint.

Whether, even if you think it has a good impact on the United States,

you can't let it continue because you're just allowing people to ignore laws.

Well, this is no longer a conservative niche complaint.

The situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is a crisis, 45%,

and very serious, 30%.

So 75%

of voters say it's either very serious or a crisis.

Which kind of explains why he's starting to take this seriously all of a sudden.

Exactly.

He realizes this is a massive Achilles heel of his reelection.

18%, in addition, say it's somewhat serious.

So you're at 93% of voters.

This is not something

academic conservative pursuit anymore.

Wow.

That's a massive number.

And we also saw it was the number one concern of voters in Iowa.

In Iowa,

in the middle of the country, Iowa.

It should be the most shielded from any border possible.

And it was the number one concern.

Also, it shows that is, by the way, that 45% in crisis is up from May from 38% to 45%.

So going the wrong direction, spiraling out of control for him.

And

63%

of voters say the situation at the border by the Biden administration should be handled more, tougher.

Like, it's not like people are like, well, you know,

the problem at the border is people can't get through so easily.

You know what I mean?

That's why it's a crisis.

It's not that.

People are saying you've got to be tougher on the border.

And when they're saying that, and it's not just us, but it's people in the middle and people on the left.

I mean, 93% say it's a serious problem or a somewhat of a problem.

That is a crisis level situation for them.

So that's why they're doing this.

The politics of this is pretty clear.

They're saying he doesn't really care if this border bill is passed.

He doesn't want to shut down the border.

And if you notice his words here, he says it gives me the authority to shut down the border.

Now, is he going to use that authority if it is given to him?

He can obviously come up with reasons to not use the authority and still get the results he wants on the border without actually implementing the policy.

But while saying, hey, I did something.

I worked a bipartisan bill.

I worked together with the right

and we came up with this solution and it's making things better.

Now,

I don't think he believes it's going to go through, but if it fails, right, he gets to say what he's saying in that clip.

It's the Republicans stopping me from solving the border.

So it's a political play.

And it's, you know, look, Trump sees the politics of this as well.

He knows this is a disaster for Biden and doesn't want to to give him a win leading up to the election.

And he's saying, blame me.

He's outwardly saying it.

Yes, I killed the border deal.

It's my fault.

Blame me.

Because he knows the politics for him are really good on this.

The more that there's crisis on the border, the better it looks for Trump, the more likely he is to get elected.

And in his view, obviously, take care of this problem.

So the politics are fascinating on this.

But let me give you a couple of the details of this actual proposal if

you can tolerate it,

because I think it's frustrating.

You hear a lot of people are saying, oh, it's 1.8 million are allowed to cross the border.

And that's technically true.

I mean, in the bill, it says if you have an average of 5,000 daily migrants coming across the border,

these new emergency shutdown powers do not kick in.

And now it would be

5,000 a day.

That's 150,000 a month.

And that is a situation, 1.8 million a year, but it's a situation where like it was basically crisis levels for any other president other than Joe Biden.

Like Biden has been over 200,000 and over 300,000 in a month.

So this would be a major cut as to where we are now, but it would be crisis levels under Trump or Obama.

So it is basically saying we can lock in really high levels of illegal immigration in perpetuity.

Now, in reality, it would be impossible to actually hit exactly 5,000 per day, right?

Like you couldn't, it would be, it wouldn't happen.

And eventually you'd go over that.

And there are some supposed consequences of that.

So if it's at 5,000 a day

on an average, none of this stuff happens.

It goes to 5,001, things kick in.

Once the 5,000 threshold is hit, this is according to Bill Malugan, who has sources telling him what is in the world.

He's been doing a good job down at the border.

Real a long time.

Really good reporting.

And Fox News gets a lot of heat from the right these days.

Malugan's done a great job on the border and deserves credit.

But he says, once the 5,000 threshold is hit, a new authority is codified into law that that requires Border Patrol to immediately remove illegal immigrants they catch without processing.

They would not get to request asylum.

They would immediately be removed.

This includes removals back to Mexico and deportations to home countries.

This would be a massive change from current policy, which is that once an illegal immigrant reaches U.S.

soil, they must be processed via Title VIII and allowed to claim asylum.

Under this new authority, they are not processed and they are mandatorily immediately removed once the shutdown threshold is reached.

Now, you can read that and say, wow, that actually is a big change.

The word authority constantly throughout all of this makes me nervous because, I mean, does he have the opportunity to not use this authority?

I mean, I know the word mandatory is in there, but that just seems to make it so the president

could activate this authority to make it mandatory.

It doesn't mean he mandatorily has to activate the authority, which is a difference.

But the shutdown all the way, by the way, also

kicks in if you go over 8,500 in any individual day.

So even if you're only 100 people are coming over a day, but then a caravan shows up, this shutdown authority would also kick in.

Also, the shutdown would not lift the next day.

It wouldn't lift until daily encounters are reduced to under 75% of the 5,000 threshold for at least two weeks.

So it would go down to 3,750 on average for two weeks.

Then that authority would be lifted.

Again, is anyone in the conservative world happy with 3,750 illegal immigrants coming in every day?

This would be a bad day for anyone other than Joe Biden, right?

Like, so I don't think of that as positive.

It used to be a thousand a day was considered disastrous.

Yeah.

A thousand a day.

That sounds reasonable.

Like, look, is it going to, you're going to get

a hundred get in every day?

Like,

we, it's a big border.

It's not easy.

You can't shut it down.

It's hard to get zero, but that should be our target.

Yes.

Should be our target.

But zero is difficult.

We get that maybe 100 get in.

The only way to have immigration into our country is through legal means.

Wouldn't that be ideal?

That's the way it's supposed to be.

So we know who's coming in.

We know what they bring to the table.

We know who they are and their backgrounds and all of those things that seem pretty reasonable for any sovereign nation to be able to ask of people coming to their country.

Instead, it's like, ah, that's another 5,000 every day.

Ah, don't worry about it.

It's just 2,500 today.

It's just 3,000.

Those are 3,000 people we don't know anything about.

Don't know anything about.

Are they all wonderful people?

Probably a good majority of them are, but there's probably some bad apples.

At least not threats, right?

Like probably the majority of them are not necessarily here to do terrorism or, you know, but still.

Do they have diseases?

Do they have ill intent in some criminal way?

We don't know.

Are they excited about being part of America?

Or are they excited to get a job that pays them five times what they make back in their home country so they can send it back via Western Union?

Like, that's not.

And we shouldn't consider that, according to a lot of leftists.

Right.

Shouldn't even worry about

our part in this or what they bring to us.

That's not supposed to enter into the equation.

Unlike every country in history.

Right.

Absolutely.

Were you, you were, I don't know if you were here, Pat, when we showed the video yesterday of the

wall

Gaza with Egypt.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

It looks like it's out of Star Wars.

Yeah.

It's this gigantic wall with razor wire everywhere.

Yeah, like triple layer of

razor wire going up this 20 or 30 foot wall.

Yet we're told that we're the haters, right?

And the same thing here, like we should have a protection of our borders.

It's clearly a problem.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Today featuring Pat and Stew for Glenn,

we've been talking about what a border hawk our president, Joe Biden, is.

Wow, if he could just get Republicans on board, he would

put the hammer down on the border

and there wouldn't be a single person getting through illegally that we don't know about.

He also kind of said something similar back in 2020 about Iran and the way he was going to

stop their shenanigans.

Hmm.

How's that working out so far?

We'll take it back to 2020 and what he had to say then compared to what's going on now and much more coming up in one minute.

Patton Stew for Glenn, 888727 BECK.

How tragic is it that due to a misidentified drone, we lost

three

troops in Jordan

just the other day.

Three were killed, 40 more were injured.

And it's because of a mistaken identity of the

they thought the drone was ours, which is why they didn't shoot it down.

Apparently, they expected one to be returning, and it happened to be Iran's, and so we got

that incident instead.

Also, who knew we had troops in Jordan?

Do we have troops in every single nation on this planet?

I'm starting to think we do.

We've got them in Syria, we have them in

Oman, we have them in Qatar, we have them in Africa, spread throughout Africa.

We've got them in Jordan.

Jordan doesn't even admit they're there because it would piss off their populace so much.

So they try to keep that on the down low, which I feel like is unacceptable.

I do too.

Yeah.

If you're going to take our troops to help protect you and your country, you need to embrace us.

Yes.

Not hide the fact that we're there.

Like, you need to be like, you know what, who we're really excited to have here?

The United States of America because they're a great country and we love working with them and they are very helpful to us.

Like we need

part of these efforts should be a sales pitch to the populace.

That's currently not how it's being handled, however.

And that's why, I guess, some people around the region are saying, nah, they're saying it was in Jordan, but they were really in Syria.

So

who knows?

Who knows what to believe anymore?

My understanding.

Have you ever told the truth about anything?

No, of course not.

But, you know, look, Jordan has an ally of

some level.

At some level, they are an ally.

And, you know, they wanted us there.

That's why we're there.

Yeah.

Right.

And like, we usually say yes to those things.

But you can question whether that's the right policy or not, but that's right.

That's why they're there.

Right.

But it's opened up our troops to a lot of attacks.

There's been something like somewhere between 150 and 200 attacks between our bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Jordan.

And this one turned deadly.

They were trying to make the case last week that, yeah, it was just severe head trauma that our troops had endured up until this point.

Just severe head trauma?

That seems

severe enough that you wouldn't call it just.

And

these, these guys are being, are being injured and attacked on a regular basis, and we've done very little about it.

Yeah, it's been months.

Very little.

Months.

They've been firing at us for months, and we've done almost nothing.

We've fired back a few times.

We've taken out their drones most of the time when they've come to us.

But to give you the calculus on this, these are $20,000 drones that we're hitting with million-dollar missiles.

That's not a great way of doing this.

No.

Like, someone needs to, and I'm sure this is happening in the military, but like we need like a $50,000 drone that can take out the $20,000 drone.

A little more cost effective.

A little more cost effective because this is going to happen.

I mean, you've seen the documentary,

what is it called?

Something is fallen.

Washington has fallen.

Something has fallen.

The White House has fallen.

The White House, was it?

The White House has fallen.

There's even a bunch in that series, right?

But one of them.

London, the White House.

What was that?

Olympus has fallen is the one I'm talking about.

Okay, Olympus has fallen.

Now, my knowledge of this movie has to do with the trailer.

But the trailer of the movie, which is one of the

big scenes, is Morgan Freeman, I think, is the president of the United States.

He's out there on a boat having a nice fishing day, and all of a sudden, over the horizon comes like a thousand drones that just suicide drone attack the president of the United States, and lots of people die, and it's really, really bad.

This is a obviously fictional representation of this type of thing, but it is absolutely one of the largest threats that we face going forward.

They are tiny.

They are cheap.

Anybody can make them.

This is not like, hey, we got to keep Iran away from having nuclear weapons because, like, that is not what this is.

Anybody, you can buy these things on the internet.

$20,000 is massively expensive for a drone.

There are also $1,000 drones that can do damage and have done damage.

You put some explosives, cheap explosives on the side of them.

We've seen this happen over and over again.

There's assassination attempts that have almost been successful already, and this one obviously is successful.

We better come up with some way of dealing with this, not firing million-dollar missiles at them.

That is not going to be a long-term solution to this problem.

And we better come up with a technological solution real quick on this one.

But we've got people in office that are so incompetent.

I don't think they know what to do or how to do it, frankly.

Well, I mean, look, we have diversity concerns to think about, Pat.

Yeah.

Like, what if our ⁇ are there enough representatives of the LGBTQQIA2 plus community in the military?

I hope so.

But I'm concerned about it.

Yeah, me too.

How can we win a war if we're not diverse enough?

You can't.

No army in history has ever won a war without diversity.

Right.

And we need to keep that going.

Like, for example,

let's say some white male comes up with a $20,000 drone that can beat these other $20,000 drones.

Well, that's unacceptable.

I don't want it.

It's unacceptable.

I don't want it.

I'd rather spend a million dollars every single time because I want someone

from the Laocean person came up with it.

Or LaOcean would be fine for sure.

But trans, buy,

try,

pan, pan, anything.

I want a panosexuality.

I want design my drone defense.

As long as it's not hetero, as long as it's any other

sexual preference.

I don't want a male who's attracted to a female to have anything to do with the defense of this country.

You know why?

That's creepy.

It's disgusting.

And so are all of their ideas.

They're creepy.

They're creepy.

And we don't know what they're saying.

They're privileged.

They are privileged.

They're privileged people who are given these jobs just because they're white and they're male and they've also happen to attend universities and

get master's degrees at technical schools.

But whatever.

They're part of the patriarchy.

What about a guy down the street who happens to be Hispanic and Jewish at the same time?

Where's that person?

Where is that person?

I want that that person.

I want a person who's both Jewish and Muslim.

I want that person designing all of our aircraft.

What if we had

Margo Robbie

in charge of the entire military?

Because she used the word patriarchy, I believe, 400 times in the Barbadie movie.

Yeah.

I'm a little, I think she's straight.

I'm worried.

She's white.

She may be straight.

You're right.

You're right.

Not my ideal solution by anybody.

Any use of the word patriarchy make up for her whiteness?

It made up for some of it.

Okay.

But, you know, it's funny because

whiteness is apparently this huge advantage in life, yet all we do is talk about how bad it is.

And that's strange.

You know, I was thinking about it.

This is a little off topic, but it's tied to the border.

We talked about it last hour.

You know, the whole white privilege thing, right?

Like, they say that having white skin is a privilege, right?

It's privileged activity.

It's unearned privilege.

You get these benefits.

You don't even know they're there because you're white and just it's just part of your life.

Same thing with being a male.

Same thing with being anything that's not in the LGBTQQIA2 plus community,

whatever the acronym is you want to use today.

But you know, I was thinking there actually is one level of privilege that does not get talked about a lot.

And I'm serious about this.

It really does exist.

You know what it is?

Speaking English.

That is like a legitimate thing that if you are a child grown into a family that decides they don't want to speak it, you are disadvantaged in this country.

Until you learn the language, you will always be disadvantaged.

It's the one thing that is real privilege, right?

It really is privilege.

As a kid, you don't choose what language you speak.

You speak whatever your parents do.

And if they don't go through the trouble to learn the language or come here illegally and never learned it,

you're right.

You probably do start as a disadvantage.

That is actually a like if you wanted to really fight back against privilege, what you should do is is massively look to teach kids who don't speak English English.

Kids and adults.

And adults.

Yeah.

Try to bridge that gap.

And what do we do with nothing?

Of course.

It's not a kid.

Of course.

We're actually, we tell people that they shouldn't have to do that.

And we put up signs in their language so that 10% of the time they can understand what's going on around them.

Well, what a solution that is.

Very true.

But here was our president back in, just to give you a refresher on where this president was on the Iranian situation and how upset he was at what Trump was doing about it and what he would do about it instead.

This is Biden back in January of 2020 talking about Iran.

A president who says he wants to end endless wars in the Middle East is bringing us dangerously close to starting a brand new one.

A president who says he wants out of the region sends an additional 18,000-plus troops to do with a crisis of his own making.

Bastard.

An administration that claims its actions have made America safer,

in the same breath, urges our citizens to leave Iraq, puts Americans throughout the region on notice because of the increased danger that now exists.

Wow.

I have no illusions about Iran.

I never have.

The regime has long sponsored terrorism and threatened our interests.

It continues to detain American citizens.

They've ruthlessly killed hundreds of protesters, and they should be held accountable for their actions.

But there's a smart way to counter them.

What is that?

To counter Iran.

Yeah.

And a self-defeating way.

Well, Trump's approach, in my view, is demonstrably the latter.

And yet, you know, while I mock his

slurred speech there, how much worse is it now?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, man.

Wow.

Plus,

where is that tough stance on Iran today after they've killed three troops and injured scores of troops?

Where's that tough talk?

Why aren't we putting the hammer down on Iran right now?

We should be all over their bases,

the Houthis, their terror groups, the

state-sponsored terrorists.

And what we've done so far, a couple of airstrikes here and there that have done almost nothing, and they admit it.

Yeah,

they're not going to change.

I mean, Biden has said they're not going to change their behavior because of them.

So, well, then what's the point?

What's the point?

I guess the point, you could argue, at least, the point is to take out specific military installations, right?

Okay, all right, that can help.

It can help, but apparently, it hasn't, though.

It hasn't, and you need to do more, especially when we're talking about these military installations being drones that can be that are $20,000 and can be fired from basically anywhere in range.

That You're not going to stop that

with this type of approach.

And we are on the wrong side of this new emerging type of warfare.

No doubt about that.

And our concern is how many QQIAs we have in the military.

Like,

that can't be the way this is dealt with.

The military needs to, look, you can make an argument about Bud Light or Disney or Target or all these things.

And like, are there cultural reasons to push back against that?

Of course.

We've talked about them a thousand times.

But like, you know, you want to have a company that does stuff like this, you can do it.

You might find, as Bud Light has found out, the consequences can be significant, but you can make those choices on your own behalf as a company.

When you come to the military, this stuff cannot exist.

It has to be barred from the military at all costs.

Only merit.

Only.

It can be the only thing.

When you're talking national national security, absolutely.

It is the only thing that should matter.

It's more important than in any other realm of society.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, you brought up Bud Light a minute ago, Stu.

I did.

It's interesting to see what's been happening with that company lately.

One of the things they did that I thought was really smart was that they hired Peyton Manning to do their latest commercials.

I mean, I don't know if they had to offer him, you know, a billion dollars to do it or whatever the financial arrangement was, but is there anybody more likable in the NFL or who has ever played in the NFL than Peyton Manning?

Everything he does seems to work.

Sure does.

And so they got him.

They enlisted him in this new and Emmett Smith

both to sponsor Bud Light.

Well, you could tell how desperate they were.

They put in Emmett Smith, obviously, despite the fact he's on the Dallas, he was on the Dallas Cowboys, a legendary running back by all measures.

But they put him in this commercial.

He doesn't even say anything.

All he does is seemingly throw passes

with beer cans.

And that's enough.

Just get them in there.

I don't care what we have to pay him.

They've also done a Super Bowl commercial, so they're coming out and

they're swinging for the fences now.

They're really trying to get back on top of this thing.

And they've been trying for.

A lot of this controversy.

They've been trying to get back into the good graces of their customers.

It will be fascinating to see if they can do it just from a.

It will.

It will be in textbooks if they are able to undo all the damage they have done.

Because they were up to, what, 40%?

Yeah, 40-plus percent drop in sales.

And now.

So they were by far the number one beer in America.

They dropped to 14th last I saw.

14th.

I think they've made up for that.

Well, they've made up for some of it.

The last number I saw was in the 20s as far as the drop, so they cut it in about half.

Wow.

And part of that, you know,

time heals wounds.

And again, people forget.

We've made this point before, but it's like, it's not the most egregious example of this problem.

The problem we're talking about, it really isn't.

You know, the Dylan Mulvaney thing is irritating because they're pandering.

That's what was annoying about it.

Yes.

Like this annoying pandering and this being mainstreamed into the culture is a problem.

And we've talked about it a zillion times.

The worst part of that was the, what was she, marketing head or something, the head of marketing at Bud Light, who came out and really insulted the customers of Bud Light.

Right.

Calling them Fratty.

Fratty and all that.

And like, so I can understand the pushback and I can understand, but like, what's our real concern here?

Our real concern is not an online influencer having a can named after, you know, with their image on it on a product that is specifically designed legally to only be consumed by people over 21 years old.

Like, Disney is much more core to our argument.

Yeah, they are.

They're just mainstreaming this into cartoons for four-year-olds.

Much bigger since from Disney.

Way worse than Bud Light.

And Bud Light, you know, look, we

got a beating.

And what's interesting about it is these people got fired.

They seemingly have attempted to repair this with their audience.

Now, that does not mean that you have to take that seriously.

It doesn't mean you have to believe that it's honest.

But at some level, I think there is an advantage to send a message to companies that say, you actually can repair this.

If you go down this road and screw it up, conservatives will boycott you.

But if you come back and acknowledge what you did was the wrong direction with your actions, and they've really done that, have they not?

I think largely they have.

Now, I can hear the most part people saying, screw it, I'm never going to drink this again.

There's a lot of people who are like that.

But even Kid Rock is back drinking it now.

I don't know if they paid him a bunch of money to drink it, maybe.

But like, there is an advantage in this, let's call it

this wing of the culture war to send messages to advertisers that, hey, if you

do something that is off, off kilter on this stuff, it doesn't mean you're gone forever.

Because what happens with those companies, if you send that message, is they just say, well, now our only audience left is liberals.

Let's cater to them.

And then more and more companies just do that.

And that's not any better for us.

It doesn't solve the problem.

It's better.

I mean, it's in some ways better to correct the action than to abandon these companies forever if they actually go along with their side of it.

And I definitely think a pretty powerful point was made with Bud Light.

Oh, yeah.

They heard it, that's for sure.

Don't insult us like that.

Glenn Beck.

Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging at times, but there are basic things you can do that aren't so challenging.

Things like buying from companies that believe in what you and I believe in.

And we were just talking about this.

We need to stick together now more than ever.

There's one company that has been willing to stand with you and your values forever, ever since they've been

an actual company since like, I think it's 2012.

It's Patriot Mobile.

Their message is, and their mission statement is fantastic, to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

Does that sound like Bud Light?

Does that sound like Disney?

No, it's different.

And you can find companies like this.

Patriot Mobile is a great example because you don't have to sacrifice the coverage.

You get great coverage and you get a great price and you get

a company that put God in their mission statement.

When do you hear that?

Never.

It never seems to happen.

They have affordable plans for your budget, excellent coverage, and top-notch U.S.-based customer service.

I can't wait to find out who Taylor Swift tells me to vote for.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, because I follow all of her recommendations.

Oh, do you, really?

All of her edicts, yeah.

I didn't know that.

So, you voted for the Democrat in the Tennessee Senate election back in the day?

I had to, yeah, yeah.

You had to, okay,

Taytay said.

Yeah.

Taytay said so.

Yes.

Now, my daughter might actually take this advice.

If she was a voting age and Taylor Swift,

She is 10 currently

10 until for another week or so

She she might take that advice.

She loves the Taylor Swift.

She's got the Taylor Swift posters in the room.

She is suddenly interested in the Kansas City Chiefs.

I have a daughter-in-law the same way.

Same way.

Yeah.

There's a lot of them.

And that's great.

I mean,

it's fine.

There's nothing wrong with being a big fan of an artist.

I don't necessarily, you know, as a middle-aged or

maybe beyond middle-aged white guy, I don't fully understand, comprehend the absolute adoration there.

Yeah.

It's been fascinating to me.

I don't begrudge anybody their adoration.

I just wonder how

it happened.

It's amazing.

It's textbook stuff.

Like her, the, I mean, it's like Elvis and the Beatles combined, it seems.

It really is like up in those levels in that stratosphere.

I mean, I remember when we lived in Philly at the time when she first came out, she was, I think she's from Redding, Pennsylvania, if I'm not mistaken.

And like, she was at the point in her career where she was customizing her songs for the local country station, like singing different lyrics that mention the station.

You know, like she was at that period when I first started hearing her.

And it's like,

and I will say the best attribute, of course, of Taylor Swift is that she's actually an Eagles fan.

It's just pointing that out.

You know, for all the people who are like, oh, Kansas City, she's an Eagles fan.

Her boyfriend plays for Kansas City.

Okay, that's all, that's the only affiliation there.

She's an Eagles fan.

It's the only only thing I can say on her behalf, because

I'm with you.

I'm not a fan really of her music.

I'm not really into the whole Taylor Swift thing.

I'm infuriated when they distract from NFL coverage to cover her, especially in the early games.

I ranted about this on this show multiple times.

And I think they got enough negative feedback from NFL fans that they were really cognizant about this last weekend, and they only showed her a few times.

They showed her a few times, a very small percentage of the game, of course.

But

they were really doing it a a lot at the beginning, and it was annoying.

Oh my god, gosh, because I want to see.

Every play, they'd cut to Taylor Swift.

Okay, analyze the last play.

Analyze the last play.

Tell me what's going on.

What do they need to do on defense?

Did they blitz?

What coverage are they in?

That's what I want to know.

I don't want to know what Taylor Swift's eating.

Okay.

And I get that, like...

Expanding the audience, I can understand.

Look, she's the most famous person in the world.

You think about it this way, Pat.

Like, if they wanted to bring her on the broadcast to make an appearance, how much money would they have to pay her in this weird hack of the system?

Because she's in the crowd, they can just put Taylor Swift on their broadcast as much as they want.

And look, I can understand why a television executive would want to do that.

I don't understand why anyone would ever care who she's voting for.

That I do not get.

I don't understand the endorsement process from a celebrity, why that would work or who that would influence.

But supposedly, according to this latest poll, one-fifth of voters would vote for the person she endorses.

Now, can you believe one fifth?

You were about to say, can I believe that?

And the answer to that is no.

I don't believe it.

In fact, you know, as a person who spends an enormous amount of time reading polls and methodology behind them and how they work and how accurate they are, this is the type of question that I don't put any credence in.

It's like, if you are a person who loves Taylor Swift, you're probably already voting for Joe Biden, right?

Like, now, like, can you imagine some liberal who loves Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift comes out and endorses Trump?

Would they vote for Trump?

Of course not.

No.

Right.

And Taylor Swift, who does have her share of conservative fans, especially with her country music roots,

has people

who are got Trump signs on their front yard.

And then Taylor Swift's going to say, actually, I think you should vote for Biden.

They're going to be like, okay.

Well, you know, I wanted low taxes, but now I don't.

I wanted a secure border and now I don't.

Like, give me a freaking break.

I wanted babies to live, but now I don't.

I don't care about them.

I want them all to die now.

So it's like, if you are a person who is that easily influenced, number one, you're probably voting for Democrats anyway.

I mean, this is how they win elections.

Boys girls.

You shouldn't be voting at all.

You shouldn't.

Let's face it.

Look, I know people hate that.

Every time you say that, like, well, what about our democracy?

I'm not trying to suppress it.

I'm just saying, if you're dumb, don't do it.

Like, also, don't do brain surgery.

Like, I'm not trying to suppress brain surgery by saying that.

I'm saying if you're an idiot and don't know anything about brain surgery, don't practice brain surgery.

The same thing with voting.

If you haven't spent more than five minutes thinking about this and you're looking at Taylor Swift's opinion

to guide your vote, just stay home and listen to Taylor Swift music.

Whether you're going to vote for Trump or you're going to vote for Biden or whoever you're going to vote for, if you're influenced by a celebrity, you shouldn't be voting at all.

And I will say, like, the whole endorsement process is overwhelmingly overrated.

I mean,

the only place you can really find any power of endorsements is really party officials when you're talking about back-end politics.

Like, if you come into this race and you have two candidates that are close, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is a great example of this.

Hillary had all the endorsements.

She had all the power structure of the party behind her.

And while she still won that election,

it was, she had all the benefits of the party pushing for her.

Many of them made public endorsements.

The money was directed to her.

And Bernie Sanders had a really uphill battle to win that election because of that power structure.

That's where endorsements actually matter.

The only other, I mean, like, especially in today's day and age, Pat, where you have...

a situation where everyone thinks about the presidential election three years ahead of time and absolutely is inundated with information about these candidates.

The fact that you could be swayed by a celebrity endorsement is laughable.

You have to have, you have to be completely disconnected to the world for that to be effective.

Now,

an endorsement might matter, Pat, if, like,

you're, you know, I don't know, you're living in Utah and your

local selectman steps down, right?

And

no one runs as a Democrat in this area because you're in Utah and it's a very red area.

So several Republicans step into the race.

And then Mike Lee comes down and says, you know who the best one is?

This guy.

That's the type of thing where you could say, all right, like an endorsement might matter because here's someone that I trust and they are deciphering between a bunch of very close people.

I don't know.

Do you know who really is good for your school board?

Probably not, unless you know the person, right?

You go to people who might know more about it, might be involved in that on a day-to-day basis, and endorsement might matter there, but it does not matter in the presidential election to almost everyone.

And if Taylor Swift is making you change your vote, you should lose it immediately.

Maybe you should lose your citizenship.

I'm thinking maybe.

And maybe you should be deported.

Maybe you should be deported.

Yeah.

We'll send you to Somalia.

We'll give Taylor an island and all of her followers can live there.

If that is going to make you change your vote, you don't deserve it.

Now, of course, you still get it.

It's part of your rights as a citizen, someone who was born here.

You get a right to vote.

I don't necessarily love it, but I don't necessarily have the power to change that.

And unlike President Biden, I won't just put it in via edict.

Well, it was bad enough when MTV did the rock the vote thing.

Yeah.

Why?

Why?

I mean, don't rock the vote.

Don't rock the vote.

Why should more people who don't understand any of these situations, circumstances, issues, why should they vote more often?

They shouldn't.

If they don't know anything about it other than they watch MTV, I don't want them voting.

No, and it's not even because it is somewhat motivated by the fact that they will vote incorrectly every time because MTV is going to tell them who to vote for in the most subtle form possible or overt form possible.

But like it's not even about like winning or losing elections.

It's about the process, right?

Like if you're, if you go through the process, like look, there are people who go to college and study economics and come out thinking like Paul Krugman.

I don't understand how, but okay, they do that.

You do that.

You understand these things.

You believe the left-wing way is the way to go.

You're willing to put up with all the negatives that come out of these policies.

Well, all right.

Like, then vote.

Vote for the person you believe in.

But, like, the fact that, like, we would encourage people to go to the polls and cast a vote

on a subject they know nothing about.

Why is that good?

What's good about that?

What is virtuous about that?

You go back to what the founders talked about back in the day.

It wasn't like, hey, every idiot should go to the polls and make the decisions for everyone.

Oh, no.

That's why they limited the number because

they didn't have communication like we do now.

And so they knew there were going to be a lot of ignorant voters.

Well, they didn't want ignorant voters.

No, they wanted people who were.

That's why you had to own land.

You had to be a property owner in order to vote because you had skin in the game.

If you didn't have any skin in the game, they didn't necessarily want you voting.

No.

And look, there's been all sorts of restrictions on voting, some of them very bad.

Yeah.

However,

the idea that everyone is allowed to vote

is fine.

It doesn't mean that everyone should be encouraged to vote.

You know, everyone is allowed to go skydiving.

That doesn't mean everyone should be encouraged to do it.

You know, like there's just, it's like some of these things, like, this is something that if you spend time thinking about this, you know, the Ben Franklin Republic, if you can keep it, is a, is a good way of thinking about this.

If you, if you are actually in the game of caring about this stuff, and I'm not talking about watching a few TikTok videos, that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about actually thinking, reading, doing things that would educate you as a voter.

If you do those things, then go out and vote.

We encourage it, even if you're voting against candidates that I like.

However, if you do none of those things, if the highest level of prep you've done in your life is watch an episode of The Kardashians, don't vote and don't feel bad about staying home.

There's nothing wrong with it.

The United States of America is a great country for you if you want to put no effort in.

If you just want to sit back and reap the rewards and go to work and take in cash and have a bunch of really nice things around you, there's nothing wrong with that.

You can live that life,

but you should make the decision to not be involved in the process that controls it because you're screwing it up.

It's true.

That's heresy, apparently, to some, but it's really true.

Melanie wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, I was very skeptical about trying rough greens.

I was sure my dog wasn't going to eat it.

Boy, was I wrong.

My dog loves rough greens.

Now, he only eats the food that I put rough greens on, and he has so much more energy than he used to.

Thank you so much.

You know, your dog may not know that he needs more nutrition than what comes in as kibble food, but his body knows rough greens isn't a dog dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your dog food.

Remember, brown food is dead food.

You want the greens.

You name it.

If

it's healthy for your dog, it's going to be in Rough Greens.

I want to thank the one and only Pat Gray for coming in.

He's fabulous.

And

he was, and I now welcome a surprise guest to his own show, Radio Hall of Fame member.

Thank you.

Learn bird.

Thank you very much.

Where's the music and the cheering?

Yes.

We can't actually get really people to cheer us.

This is why you're not in the Hall of Fame, and I am.

Hello.

Oh, there they are.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm a little late today.

I had to go.

I had to go to the doctor and just in all, I just want to be very clear and please don't take this as a bad thing, but I've been having some struggles lately and I got a diagnosis today from my doctor that I am dying

slowly.

I mean, you look like you're dying, but you're saying you're actually dying?

Yeah, well, I'm dying.

And he said it could take about 40 years.

It could be faster than that, but it could take about 40 years.

Could it happen tomorrow?

Could happen tomorrow.

Could happen at any time.

But it could also happen in a half century.

But he said there's nothing we can do about it.

It's natural.

And I said, natural?

Wow.

I always thought all natural was good.

You know, but apparently not.

These doctors are just giving up.

Yeah, no,

I'm having problems with my eyes again.

And so they're just...

going the extra step and and checking my uh checking my eyes to make sure that i can see i can see and i'm like yeah you didn't have to jam the bright lights in my eye to uh

i could have told you I

can see that.

I can see that.

I can see that.

Anyway.

Interesting.

What a day.

What a day.

I know you talked an awful lot about Taylor.

We did a little tay.

Yeah.

A little tay talk today.

Which is always good.

I wouldn't say an awful lot.

We did one break on it.

But yes, it is

a little bit disturbing.

I think also the effects of.

The idea that maybe 20% of all voters are going to change their vote based on her recommendation.

That's That's worth talking about.

Oh, no, that is.

I mean,

I just think that is another sign of like, yeah, we should be destroyed.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, you kind of.

I think plug the machines.

Wait a minute.

Taylor Swift's telling you how to vote, and you're voting that way.

Okay.

End of Republic.

You know, Ben Franklin walking down the street.

Mr.

Franklin, what have you given us?

A republic until Taylor Swift shows up.

You know, I think he saw that coming.

I think so, too.

I think so, too.

He would have liked Taylor.

He liked the ladies.

Well, no, I mean, not in the way you're implying.

No?

No,

he was not a ladies' man.

I thought he was.

He was a bon vivant, but he was not a ladies' man.

He

just felt more comfortable disrobed.

What kind of weird spin is this?

He felt more comfortable disrobed.

Disrobed.

I don't know.

I'm not up on my Benjamin Franklin, perhaps as much as I should be.

Maybe, maybe.

Yeah, yeah.

So

I was talking to somebody last night about,

you know, my theory.

Which thing,

you know.

Michelle Obama.

Oh, your Michelle Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee theory.

And he said, you've been saying that on the air?

And I said, yeah.

And he said, whew, okay.

And I said, yeah, you don't think so?

And he said,

give me the whole thing.

And I did.

And I, and, and, and, you know, he said, I just don't see.

And he's a guy that would, you know, he plays in these circles.

He said, I just don't see

how that could possibly happen.

But by God,

I now think it's the most likely outcome.

He's like, but that does make sense, doesn't it?

And I'm like, yeah,

yeah.

So just get used to it, gang.

I mean,

I'm probably wrong.

But I'd say get used to saying President Obama again.

Hello, America.

I want to talk to you about something I don't think you have probably heard anyplace else, and it is a possible big problem, but the solution is right here,

but it's going to require you to do something about it.

I'll talk to you about it here in just about 60 seconds.

First, for five years in a row now, abortion has been the world's leading cause of death.

Five years in a row, abortion is the world's leading cause of death.

In fact, the total is greater than the number attributed to the next seven causes of death combined.

Yeah, I don't think that's going to work out well for us.

Even before we get to the end of this commercial, two babies in the United States alone have been aborted by the time I stopped talking to you about Pre-Born.

Pre-born is leading the charge in our nation to turn this around, but we can't do it without people in the pro-life movement like you, like me.

You know,

we're the gas that keeps the engine running and it must keep running.

So, will you join me with Pre-Born and the Glenbeck program this 2024?

Let's make history the biggest baby-saving year in history.

One ultrasound is $28.

140 will offer five babies a chance at life.

Have you ever seen on like your electrical cord, it'll have a little yellow tag and it'll say UL?

Have you ever seen that?

Really?

Never?

I don't think I've noticed it, but

the sole electrical things usually will have a little UL

seal of approval on it, and that is the Uniform Law Commission.

These are the people that make everything uniform.

It's been around forever, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but they've started to go into places where I don't really think they belong.

In the 1990s, Lobbyists and big financial institutions and lawyers at the UL Commission successfully convinced lawmakers in all 50 states to make significant changes to individual property rights.

How?

Especially those related to investment accounts.

Now I want you to listen to me carefully on this.

You know, as I know, that

South Korea, Iran, if they could get rockets up into the air over the United States, and they had nuclear weapons, they could explode them up in the atmosphere, and three nuclear weapons would fry all of our electronics, and it would take us at least a year to get back on our feet.

If it happened globally, it would be a disaster, and millions and millions would die.

Millions would die here in America.

Now, this is something that I don't understand.

We've never really hardened our electrical grid.

We've hardened the government, but the government's never spend the money to harden the rest of us.

I think that's kind of important.

I wouldn't mind spending some time and money on hardening the grid.

We have our grid falling apart.

It is a low probability that that would happen, but

just astronomically high consequences.

This is the same kind of thing, except I think it's more likely than an EMP, but it is worth paying attention to because it is catastrophic to you

the changes in the state codes in the 1990s were justified by banks and other financial institutions by appealing to shoring up the financial system and moving away from the heavy use of paper such as paper stock certificates In reality, what this did was it was a design to bail out big financial institutions, especially banks, in the event of a future financial crisis, all at your expense.

Here's how it worked.

States changed Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a state law passed in all 50 states, so the investment intermediaries.

Now, who's an investment intermediary?

Well, that would be like Fidelity

or Merrill Lynch or anybody who you are buying your stocks from,

you don't actually hold the stock.

Okay.

They own the actual stock and they're holding it on behalf of you.

So this change means that you, the purchaser,

don't actually own your investments.

The stockbroker or the intermediary does.

This rule applies to stocks, to bonds, to mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other common forms of investment, including investments held in retirement accounts such as 401ks or IRAs.

What does this mean?

Well, hopefully nothing.

However, if you believe the banking system

is weak,

if you believe that you could see a major shift with a catastrophic black swan,

it could mean you lose everything.

It takes the insane you'll own nothing promise to a whole new level.

Now, the changes didn't stop there.

The code also allows for these stockbrokers and other

intermediaries holding your investment, now see if this sounds familiar, to use them as collateral in their own financial agreements.

So it's like getting a loan

from a bank

using your neighbor's car.

No, if I don't pay it, then just take my neighbor's car as collateral.

Wait, what?

Says the neighbor.

And he does it because you park, or he parks your car in his driveway occasionally.

So if you don't pay the loan back, the bank gets to take your neighbor's car.

That's what this is, except the car is your investments.

Everything that you have worked so hard for.

The reason why this is so dangerous is if the intermediary goes bankrupt, the stock you think you own can be taken by another big financial institution who's owed money by that bankrupt stockbroker

and they'll take your fund to cover it.

Let me give you an example.

This is hypothetical.

Imagine you contact a stockbroker, or maybe your investment manager does it for you.

You purchase a hundred shares of stock in Tesla.

After you pay the price of the shares and the broker fees, the broker would then add those 100 shares of Tesla to your account.

I own a hundred shares of Tesla.

But you don't.

The stockbroker does.

Then he can turn around and use those shares as collateral in his own financial agreements with larger institutions.

So now imagine that your stockbroker, let's say it's Fidelity, goes bankrupt with there's no rumor of that happening.

Okay, I'm not bringing this up because there's anything happening.

I'm bringing this up because you should know this.

Imagine Fidelity goes bankrupt because of a massive financial crisis.

Not that that could ever happen, right?

Never happen.

If Fidelity owns money to say Bank of America, Bank of America could take your 100 shares of stock, as well as a whole bunch of other people's investment, as payment for the debt that your stockbroker

owes to Fidelity.

If you're lucky, you'll get table scraps in bankruptcy court.

Okay,

that's the problem.

Is it real?

Yes.

What do you do about it?

Well, the first state is now fighting back on this, and it's South Dakota.

More help is needed.

If the financial system ever crashes again,

then everything will probably be fine for you and your investment.

But if it does crash, tens of millions of Americans could be at risk of losing all of their investments, including what's in their 401 or IRA accounts.

Here's the good news.

Monday, South Dakota lawmakers introduced a House Bill 1199.

This will rewrite the commercial code in South Dakota so that you get to keep ownership of what you own in investments regardless of whether you used an intermediary like Fidelity or Merrill Lynch.

That is yours.

Now, the bank lobbyists are hating this.

Financial institutions are hating this and they're pushing hard in South Dakota.

Christy Noome is still looking at the issue.

If the bill passes in South Dakota, it will be the first step towards fixing this broken system in all 50 states, but it must be addressed.

It must be addressed.

This isn't the only thing.

They have changed a lot of the banking rules.

The Barney Frank, remember Barney Frank?

You know?

And they did this big investigation on what happened in 2008, except they didn't do an investigation.

They just all got together and said, well, we're we're going to fix it this way.

Well, wait, what caused it?

I don't know.

We're going to fix it this way.

And they put a lot of things like this

into your bank.

Read your bank contract

carefully.

So legislators are already working similar bills in other states.

We are watching and they are watching what's happening in South Dakota closely.

We need states to make these changes now because

we know the financial system is not the picture of health.

No matter what Joe Biden or anybody else tells you, if it collapses with the current laws in place,

it could mean that American families will end up getting crushed, all to protect the big banks and the billion-dollar institutions.

Now that doesn't sound like part of the game plan for the WEF at all, does it?

Pensions and government funds could end up getting caught in this crisis as well.

Now is the time to stop it because there is no crisis.

Now is the time to, you know,

harden the infrastructure, just in case you harden it and you don't have to worry about it.

You hear the threat and you don't do anything about it.

Then, when things get dicey, you constantly worry about it.

In South Dakota, call your lawmakers, House Bill 1199.

Check that bill out.

Give it to your own lawmakers in your own state.

We've got to protect your investments.

The problem with 08 is nobody was paying attention to you.

Everybody else got bailed out with your money.

We're still paying.

for what they've given, not just to the banks, not just to the big businesses, but to the entire world.

They took our money and gave it to people they thought deserved it.

And you didn't get anything except the bill.

We have to do this before there's an issue.

Another thing you can do to prepare for hard times, if we look at the medications that are supposed to be available,

we're beginning to look like a third world country when it comes to medications.

There are medications about almost 300 that are not available all the places they should be available here in America.

This is why I strongly recommend you go to JACE Medical.

You can start with a JACE case.

The JACE Case personal

emergency medication kit, it has the five essential antibiotics which treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

It's customizable, dozens of add-on medications available.

So, you know, you can choose the best fit for your family's needs.

They even have ivermectin as an add-on option.

So you can do this for, you know, for things that happen to your family in an emergency.

You don't have to worry, what do you mean you don't have that prescription?

But there is a longer-term plan as well, but where you can get all of your prescriptions or a lot of them, up to a year worth of supply at your home.

So if there is a disruption, your family has the meds they need.

All right.

I could do, I could do, you know, Ben Shapiro did a rap song.

Hmm.

Did he?

I did not realize this.

What?

Really?

Who's number one on iTunes and even, I don't know, Lizzo or somebody.

I like Ben, but I don't follow his rap career.

I don't follow his rap career either, but

I just play the Twitter.

Let's look at the stats.

I've got the facts.

My money like Lizzo, my pockets are fat.

Homie, I'm epic.

Don't be a whap.

Dog, it's a Yamaka, homie, no cap.

Look at the graphs, look at my charts.

You're blowing money on strippers and cards.

You going to prison?

I'm on television.

Daws, no one knows who you are.

Yeah.

Did he actually have anything to do with that?

Or was that just like AI?

Oh, it was him.

It was him actually rapping.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's great, and he's talented in rapping.

He's talented in rapping.

And an endorsement.

Yeah, no,

he's a very good

rapping officiato.

As an

aficionado, he is a very great rapper.

Very great rapper.

Very great.

And that's spoken by someone who is obviously comfortable with the lingo.

The entire thing.

So I've got a little tribute.

If we have time, I have a little tribute to

Ben coming up.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

That is stunning.

I mean,

just as somebody who hangs in the rapping community, you know.

You're deep into it.

Oh, my gosh.

You're deep into the, I mean, you're from the streets.

You know, this has been your life.

You know, you came

from the hard knocks of Mount Vernon, Washington.

That's what Patrick Mahomey tells me all the time.

Patrick Mahomey says that to you.

My homie.

Your homie.

He's my homie.

Your homie.

I thought it was a little bit much to put that on the back.

I'm like, I know you're my homie.

I call you my homie, but why do you have that on the back of your shirt?

But anyway, you know.

Anyway, that's coming up in this little while.

Exciting.

I think we're all excited for that.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

What do you think of the

UL thing and what South Dakota is doing?

Sounds interesting.

It's kind of the first I've heard of it.

I had not heard of it either until

one of our researchers stumbled across some stuff and they were like, hey,

this is going on.

What's that about?

It's interesting.

I think it seems to me to be almost like a parallel argument to cryptocurrencies, right?

Where one of the big reasons why Bitcoin exists, for example, is there is no intermediary.

That's the whole point.

You own it.

You own it.

Now, it's funny because a lot of people buy it and then stick it on exchanges.

And so they lose lose all of that freedom because then, of course, you don't actually hold your own coins.

But that's the concept of Bitcoin from the beginning and many of these other competing cryptocurrencies.

Like the idea that you don't have that intermediary.

There's no risk in between you and whoever you're sending it to.

Now, of course, there's other associated risks, as people who have been hacked will tell you.

The idea that you can make these transactions happen without, you know, weeks and weeks of checking and, especially over borders.

You know how difficult it is, Glenn, if you've ever tried to send money across borders.

Oh, I do that all the time.

I don't.

I know.

I don't do that.

I mean, millions of people do.

We do business overseas.

There's a lot of reasons.

I've got a lot of business with the cartels.

I send them

some people over there.

Well, I mean, I know you're a big art person.

I've noticed that people who are artists, my understanding of them is they typically have relationships with Ukrainian energy companies.

And if you're trying to get them to get the best of the business,

you're one of the exceptions.

You need to be one of the exceptions.

Yeah, you need to have that offshore.

What if you need to pay a hooker who's been imported from the Eastern Bloc?

Well,

you got to, first of all, you got to negotiate in rubles or whatever it is that you can

set the exchange rate.

What are we talking here?

Are we talking in rubles?

We're talking in dollars.

And, you know, sometimes, and some artists have found this out recently, like when those transactions are located in business records that people can look through, is that always the best outcome for you?

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

So this.

Well, depending on who you are.

This isn't the strongest argument for Bitcoin.

It seems like I'm arguing for illegal activity, which I'm not.

But, you know, some artists.

I am.

Yeah.

I am interested in keeping my money, nobody else's money.

Totally.

Right.

You know, what happened in 08

was such an abomination.

You know, we're going to do TARP.

Hey, that's our money?

Wait, you're going to, I have to pay that back or my grandchildren have to pay that.

What are you talking about?

And then you thought, okay, well, it's going to shore up the...

No, no, no.

They've been doing this money printing thing now since 2008.

They're still doing it.

And we're paying the price through inflation.

And we're going to have to pay the actual price.

of all the billions and trillions that we have now spent.

And nobody talked to you about it.

You were talking about this yesterday with Joe Biden

when Joe Biden

just will say in a speech, yeah, I just gave $20 billion more to Ukraine.

Wait, hang on.

Where?

What wallet did you take that out of?

Where was the debate?

Where was the vote?

Where was the voting and then the signing and the negotiating and the amendments?

And where was that?

Where does this go?

And it's continually a massive problem in the United States.

So keep your money.

Make sure that the banks don't get your money and it can be easily solved, but your state has to take action.

Look, shore up your town, shore up your state.

After you shore yourself and your house up, worry about those things.

Do the next right thing.

Glenn Beck.

I have to tell you, I got up again today and just Felt so good.

Felt so good.

I haven't felt this good in quite some time, which must be a bad sign, right?

Don't you love those people who are like, it's going too well?

Let's just go over some of the highlights of the news today.

The guy who leaked the Trump tax returns, been sentenced to five years.

Yeah, he was a former contractor at the Eternal Revenue Service.

He gave the Trump records to the New York Times,

and he gets a five-year prison sentence.

So that's

more than I expected.

You know, I didn't expect him to get anything.

I didn't either.

I thought that was the right of people to know.

By the way, the New York Times pays no penalty for this.

This guy goes in, illegally acquires a bunch of records

and gives them to the New York Times.

Now, at the very least, we should have some sort of

understanding as to whether they knew they were stolen or not.

Look.

The guy goes in, he takes confidential records that are guaranteed to be safe in the hands of the United States government.

He takes them, he steals them, he then gives them to the New York Times.

They publish for all the world to see.

And, you know, he got his five years.

Now let's talk about real crime.

Jury is deliberating the fate of the six pro-lifers that are now facing 11 years in prison over the fact that they were praying in a hallway.

So.

Illegal prayer?

Well, not illegal.

They were just,

they were just violent in their peaceful prayers.

That's you know, like if I had the hallway of the clinic behind me, they would all be standing up against the wall and they'd be praying.

And I'd be the guy on CNN saying, it's extraordinarily violent, as you can see.

Mostly not peaceful.

Right.

Let's take a quick break for a word from our sponsor on the border.

Do you want a life of adventure?

Do you long to test your survival instincts in unchecked urban warfare?

Then there's just one place to go.

Sanctuary City.

Where do you go when you want name-brand electronics at prices up to 100% off?

Sanctuary City.

Heroin, crack, fentanyl, all flowing on every street corner.

The police are defunding, but they wouldn't give a f ⁇ anyway.

Bring your own needle or share with a friend.

Anything goes in Sanctuary City.

Carjack yourself a Hyundai and get on down to our annual celebration of human waste.

It's Extreme Balooza.

There's poop on the streets, poop on your shoes, probably poop in your food.

Feces, feces feces see yourself down to extra pentapalooza it's cool to have stool on every single inch of sanctuary city

and what better way to say i love you than by completely destroying the rule of law sanctuary city

hello i'm the progressive mayor of sanctuary city We've been trying the same policies for a century.

Do they work?

I don't know.

I live in a mansion three counties away.

Sanctuary City!

If you've always dreamed of leaving your Venezuelan hellscape to go to a city where the government will pay you to recreate another Venezuelan hellscape, then be in Venido to Sanctuary City!

Warning, don't get raped.

Sanctuary City, left-wing policies

brought to life.

Yeah, it's great.

I love the new sponsor, Sanctuary City, and I

urge you.

I urge you, go while you can.

Go while you can.

Yeah.

It's an exciting place to go.

Some of these deals are drying up quickly.

Some of these places where you get free electronics, they're closing the doors.

They're closing the doors.

That's unfair.

But everything must go now.

Big blowout sale at Sanctuary City.

By the way, you can get that with the video.

If you haven't seen the video, it's an enjoyable part of it.

Youtube.com slash stew doesamerica.

It's up there now.

Please go and share it with your friends.

So what's going to happen first?

A showdown at the border or war with Iran?

You're a betting man.

Which one?

Well, let's define our terms.

When you make a wager, you can't just willy-nilly go into it because people will change.

What are the terms?

The whole higgledy-piggledy thing.

That isn't policy if you're around for a long time.

How would you say a showdown at the border?

How do you define it?

it?

Where you have actual fire at the border, where you have

some sort of either violent

or at least a constitutional crisis where two sides are just yelling at each other on the border.

And we're all like, okay, can everybody just calm down a bit?

I mean, I feel like that one is going to happen very soon.

I will definitely pick this over the war with Iran thing.

I think that if that happens,

hopefully it does not happen.

But if it happens, I I don't think it happens like within the next few weeks.

I think it's going to be slowly escalating and you never know.

I mean, even remember, we didn't go to war in Afghanistan for several weeks after 9-11.

It took weeks before that even started.

Yeah, but there were plans to be made.

In our Pentagon now, there are beaches to go to.

There's butt tests that have to be run.

Yeah, I'll get a wake-up Secretary of Defense.

Yeah.

And this president, he doesn't have a lot of of time.

Look, guys,

while I'm still here, okay?

While I'm still alive.

And that could be at any time.

So we have that.

I do think that we are headed towards...

I'm hoping, I'm hoping

just a really smart, strategic strike

to tell Iran, you know, hey, no, bad.

But I don't know how the people that just sent them $6 billion

is then going to say bad

and then buy it.

And aren't we past the point to where

the president has that time to respond without going to Congress?

I mean, don't ask a Republican because they don't know.

They don't care.

They don't care.

You can ask Joe Biden from 2020 when he said you cannot go to war with Iran without congressional approval.

Clearly, he'll live up to that now that he's in the office, right?

Yeah.

That's how this works.

So,

I mean, we have seen so many of these things happen recently.

And I think one of the speaking of the border for a second, it's one of those issues that we've been talking about forever.

And all of a sudden, now everyone is

actually there and everyone is

on board with the conservative concerns.

Like this is how it happened in education, clearly, with, you know, now school choice is going across the country.

The border situation, we went through some of this polling earlier.

93%

of voters say that the border is a problem.

And 75% of voters say it's a serious problem or a crisis.

But 18%

will listen to Taylor Swift on who to vote for.

Do you believe that?

I don't buy it.

I think that's just one of those dumb polling quirks.

I do.

I don't think so.

The people who are going to do that already are voting for Joe Biden.

You're telling me somebody's got, I got a Trump sign in my yard, but Taytay said vote for Biden.

Like, there's 0% of people people who fall into that category.

Yeah, I don't think that the ones that are listening to Taytay and following her every move and idolize her enough to, you know, do,

idolize her enough to pay $5,000 for a seat

probably

aren't following politics all that close.

But it's probably true.

But do you, I mean, would the media say that if Taylor Swift came out and endorsed Donald Trump, that they'd switch to Trump?

No, no, no, no.

It's like it's a one-way street.

And I think it's a

I think it's a bunch of people who really like Taylor Swift saying they really like Taylor Swift.

I don't think anyone's changing their vote over her recommendation.

Now, we do have evidence of this from the Tennessee Senate race years ago, which she did endorse, and her candidate lost.

So, I don't know.

Maybe she is more famous now.

I would say she's more.

Yeah, but what the problem was is people who do vote and do pay attention don't want somebody from Hollywood or the entertainment industry telling them how to vote.

You know what I mean?

I don't want somebody to tell me i don't want people i like kevin coster comes out you know i'm a big fan all the yellowstone cast is standing there and like remember vote donald trump i

i don't want them telling me i don't really care anyone telling me who they vote for i'm years and years past this but like i don't even really want to hear it no I don't really want to hear it.

Like, I know a lot of people get very pumped up in the primaries.

We've talked about this many times where like they all, everyone wants to talk about who they vote for.

And like, look, if that's you, that's cool.

I don't have any problem with it.

But like, I don't really need to know.

I don't need to know whether you test positive for COVID last week.

And I don't need to know who you're voting for.

Just vote for who you want to vote for.

Let's, we'll talk about the issues.

We'll talk about what's, what's, what's true, what isn't.

So if I was testing positive for Ebola, I should not tell you.

Well, you should tell me because I'm in the same room with you.

I am talking.

See, look how complex it gets.

All these new rules.

I've just passed the, like, remember when in like 2020, we're like every person, like Tom Hanks has COVID.

Yeah.

Bob Fredley now has who's Bob Fredley?

I don't know, but he's got COVID.

Yeah, and I, I, it drives me out of my mind that people will say, oh, Debbie's got COVID.

Really?

I had the flu last week, and you didn't make a big deal out of it.

I mean, that's all it is.

It's a different, just a different flu.

Hello.

At this point, we are well beyond

the actual utility of this.

Now, let me tell you what I thought of as you were talking about how people are now all aware of this.

They're all aware of schools.

You know, they're aware of a lot of things that they weren't before.

This is what happens when these policies just take everything out of control.

They get so bad.

We're no longer talking about these things as hypotheticals.

Right.

You know, for a long time, we were like, don't you know what this will cause?

No, it won't.

Yes, it will.

No, it won't.

Yes, it will.

Now it's here.

And they're like, how did this happen?

Yep.

You're totally right.

That is exactly what it is.

All this time we've been saying, don't put in these liberal policies or you'll get this.

Sanctuary Cities is a great example.

Don't do that because

your city will turn into a place where there's poop all over the streets and crime and all these places are going to close down.

And now it's happening.

It's just like they actually didn't listen to us.

They did the opposite and now they're reaping what they sow.

Yeah.

And it's, you know, it's honestly, it's, you know, except your mom would slap you across the face.

If your mom said, don't run with that stick, you'll put an eye out.

Don't run with a stick, you'll put an eye out.

Don't run.

I'm fine.

You come back with a stick in your eye and your eye is out, you know, just kind of hanging there by a few threads.

Right.

Your mom is going to go, all right, let me get you right.

And then slap you across the what were you thinking?

How many times have I told you that?

That's the only part that they don't get.

Yeah.

They then look at the same masters that created this problem and the same policies and go, you know what?

We really need to take.

No, you don't.

It's so frustrating.

Stop it.

It's so frustrating.

I mean, the worst manifestation of this is the person who's in California, gets taxed to death, can't send their kids to school, crime in the streets.

They say, we got to get out of here.

They move to Texas and then vote for Beto.

Right?

Like that, that manifestation is the most infuriating thing in America.

Do you have the address of that person?

Back in just a second.

Sometimes when the going gets rough financially, the best thing you can do is have somebody on your side.

And it's not just anyone, but somebody who is there to help you dig your way out, who knows how to do it.

Oh my gosh.

There's still, I mean,

Donald Trump, man, I

like him, hate him, want him as president, don't want him as president.

My gosh, have they just put this guy through the ringer?

The case with Eugene E.

Carroll is crazy.

Ridiculous.

Crazy.

And $83 million awarded to shore up women's rights.

It's just ridiculous.

Then the Associated Press has come out today with a story that actually admits that the New York Attorney General civil case against Trump, where

he went to Deutsch Bank.

and said, yeah, my house is worth X number of dollars.

And

the New York Times or the AG said, no, it's not.

It's not worth that.

They actually had Deutsche Bank on the stand testifying and saying, we know this.

Everybody does that.

That's why we have our own valuation.

It would be insane not to.

We would be a really piss-poor bank if we just took everybody's word for it.

And they said, so there's no crime here.

I mean, a lot of the reason why they do that, too, is to have an out later on with the loan to the actual client.

So, like, they can say, wait a minute, you said it was this and it wasn't.

And then they can back out on certain

issues.

They didn't try to do that with Trump.

No, he was paying it.

They said he's made us a lot of money.

So here's the AP admitting that this is unprecedented in 70 years of case history.

And it is the only case of its sort that doesn't show an obvious victim or any major loss.

If I were living living in a crime hellhole in New York and I saw that the New York Attorney General was spending all this time and money on a case where there is no victim and no loss,
