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

Now, 97% is made overseas.

There's a company doing something that's different.

It's called American Giant.

Two years ago, we met the founder of American Giant.

He's an awesome dude and just was like, hey, I care about this country.

I care about American manufacturing and I care about giving people a good product and value for their money.

It's a crazy idea that American Giant has taken in house and has made a whole business out of.

So let me tell you about American Giants.

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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome.

Pat and Scoop for Glenn today.

Country's going to hell in a handbasket.

I don't know if you're aware of that.

I hadn't noticed.

You haven't noticed?

No.

Yeah.

Wow.

Really?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

It's a big handbasket, because it's a big country, but we're headed to hell.

Over 300 million people in one handbasket.

That's a lot.

That's a lot.

You should usually you'd think, okay, at least two handbaskets, but no, this is just one really big one.

We'll get into the situation with the defense secretary, which I think is somewhat interesting, the electric surgery you just had done.

We'll talk about that and much more on the way to hell in 60 seconds.

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

And of course, if you can't sleep,

that really can be hell.

If you've ever been through it, you know

it doesn't just ruin your night it ruins the whole next day and if you're unfortunate enough to have sleep trouble on a regular basis you're pretty much guaranteed to walk around feeling like a zombie most of the time and that's not fun zombies don't did zombies ever look happy that's never happened in any zombie movie they've never looked happy just like uh make sure you check out relief factor sleep this is uh just like the regular relief factor that you take for pain relief factor sleep is 100 drug free free it is uh got a blend of all sorts of natural ingredients It's designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving your mood, and promoting relaxation.

Glenn loves it, and I think you will too.

The first bottle is only $19.95 at $20 to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away to dreamland and then hopefully don't wake up in hell.

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

It's relieffactor.com.

All right, Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, number two in line after the Commander-in-Chief.

This is the

guy who essentially is in charge of the Pentagon and the defense of our nation.

Now, is that an important job?

It seems somewhat important.

Okay.

You know, I don't want to go out on a limb and say it's critical.

You don't want to overstate it.

No.

No.

No.

But uh but the guy was

having surgery and look

i am

all about medical privacy but when you're the defense secretary and you're going in for surgery of this kind

sorry yeah you know you don't it's part of the gig yeah you don't get there's certain levels of privacy you give up when you're a public figure serving in the government like this when you're president of the united states if you're going in for prostate surgery

we need to know about it.

When you're defense secretary and you're going in for prostate surgery, we need to know about it.

And so do, by the way, your second in command, who he didn't tell.

She didn't know.

It's certainly.

For three days.

All you're saying is true, but it's even worse that they didn't, he wasn't even telling the people around him, right?

Like it's horrible that this would happen for the American people who do need to know this stuff.

Yeah.

But

the fact that it wasn't being passed around inside the White House,

it's incredible.

Isn't this a fireable offense, Pat?

Yo, absolutely.

The guy should be gone right now.

I mean, bless his heart.

I hope he has a speedy and full recovery.

But

yeah, you got to go.

You got to go.

His judgment is completely dry.

Completely.

And we've seen that in all of his decisions and actions, too.

But this really is the topping on the cake.

And yeah, you need to be fired today.

Yeah, I mean, today.

There may be a part of this that is, and I'm trying not to do this, but there may be a part of this for me that is like when you say, well, you know, Tom Brady came in after curfew last night, the night before the Super Bowl.

He, you know, our rules say right here, he misses the next game.

I don't know if it's Tom Brady, maybe I come up with a justification to let him play in the game.

But when it's your third backup lineman that hasn't actually made a block all year, and every

47% of snaps, he's allowed a pressure.

I don't know.

At that point, I'm really interested in the firing thing.

Yeah.

You know, I'm like, you know what?

Sorry.

You're not going to be on the roster.

And like, that's good.

And that's a no-brainer.

He hasn't been good anyway.

It's a no-brainer.

And even if they think he's been good, this is too big an offense to allow it.

You can't.

He tells people after the fact, like four days after the fact, yeah, I had some electric surgery and then some complications.

The elective surgery, you're thinking, okay, it's, you know, he didn't want to tell anybody because he was having hemorrhoid surgery or whatever.

Okay, maybe he had a mole removed from his back.

That's the elective surgery you're thinking about.

You don't think he's having his prostate removed because he's got prostate cancer.

That's not elective surgery.

Well, it is because he was choosing between that and radiation therapy.

I guess that's what we're supposed to believe.

I haven't even heard that excuse from him, but I'm sure that's what they'll use.

Yeah, because they really did try to lie to us about this.

Yeah, absolutely.

On top of the way they handled it, they tried to make it seem like a mole was being removed.

That's what they were hoping you thought.

Why?

I don't know.

I mean,

if anything, it creates a little sympathy for the guy that he's dealing with prostate cancer.

Nobody wants to go through that.

I feel terrible for him.

I mean, as a person, that's really, really rough to go through.

But we have a structure of government.

And like

the average person, I think, can be hit with this news and say, oh, look, I don't really want to be talking about my prostate on the national stage.

So I also would not want to tell.

And you don't have to if you're not Secretary of Defense.

Exactly.

You don't have to.

The average person wouldn't have to, although we have seen Glenn go down certain roads in the past disclosing medical information.

I wish he didn't.

From more elective surgery than this.

Yes, much more elective.

The elective YouTube video was the thing I had the problem with on that one.

But I remember that

years ago for long time listeners only.

But when you're talking about

the average person, I think you hear that news and you think, I can understand it a little bit.

Like, I don't want people talking about my prostate.

I get that.

When you are a military guy

who talks about the chain of command endlessly throughout your entire career, who rises to the level of Secretary of Defense, and whose entire existence is based on process.

That is all you are

when you rise to that level.

Your entire makeup is supposed to be based on following the correct process because it's so vital, even when it doesn't seem vital.

Here's a situation where it does.

We're in the middle of multiple wars that we have our hands in for God knows what reasons.

And we are in the middle of doing a whole of that.

You need to know where the Secretary of Defense is all the time.

This is so egregious that not only should he be fired, but so should the president of the United States.

So again, is this another Tom Brady thing like where you're just saying, like, he sucks and this is a good excuse to fire?

No.

No,

these are fireable offenses for him and the people who make the decisions about firing.

Why is it fire?

I mean, look, Biden should be fired for a multitude of reasons.

Why this one, though?

Because they're still trying to soft pedal this and say that he has done such a great job that we still want him in the gig.

The post-game lying is a problem.

No, yeah, it's a big problem.

Yeah.

And did you see KJP's answer yesterday to questions?

Do we have to?

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, I think this one is worse.

She's so bad.

She is so bad.

Was she reading it?

I'm not sure.

Let's take a look.

How did the president not know until this morning that it was cancer?

How did five days go without knowing that?

That is something that we're trying to find.

They're trying to find out.

I hear you, but that is something that we are going to get a sense of this process, right?

That's why they are going to do a review.

That's why the Pentagon is going to do a review.

That's why the Chief of Staff put out a memo to

the cabinets on protocols here to get a sense of what

they've been moving with this process and how we're going to continue to move forward.

We do not want this to happen again, obviously.

Obviously.

But, you know, we're going to get a better sense once the Pentagon does the 30-day review to see how this occurred.

Obviously, this is not something we want to see.

So it takes five days for him to learn about it and then they launch a 30-day review to figure out why they didn't learn about it that's uh what if there's not a if that's not a government process i don't know what is well i understand what you're saying stupid

right now okay is get a better sense of the process and you don't know the process i don't know that we're we're getting a better sense of it right now so

you don't you're not going to know what it is you're just going to get a sense of it we're going to get a sense of what a generalized sense how long does it take to actually know what it is and not just a sense of it well i don't know yet because we've we've got to get a better sense of what that process is okay and then i can tell you how long that process might take once i get a sense of it okay so okay sense then review yeah then

we figure out we don't know because we all don't have the sense of

i this is

because i i i agree with you that it's the incompetence is incredible and yeah i mentioned this uh yesterday that i talked to a couple people about this and both of them said the same thing, which was, hey, like,

I'm not surprised they didn't tell Joe Biden, but like, can you believe they didn't tell the rest of the cabinet?

And it's like

that we're in that world where

they're like, ah, you know, like, of course they're not going to tell Joe Biden.

He's completely incompetent and incoherent.

That's unacceptable.

That's unacceptable in and of itself.

And then the fact that they did, again, lie about this.

It's one thing, like, you could make the argument in this situation that Joe Biden is essentially the victim of this, right?

He was his, his guy, who he put in, of course, in power,

but comes to the table and lies to him, hides something from him.

He doesn't know.

He's the victim, blah, blah, blah.

I can see how you could make that case, but you can't make that case after they start lying about it.

After they come out and say, hey,

it was an elective surgery.

Okay, like you're going on.

Why would you go on that technicality?

Why would you go on, just say surgery?

Yeah.

Right?

I mean, like, you're going to have to tell everybody eventually anyway.

Why would you know it's going to come out elective?

You use that to try to disarm people, like, oh, it was no big deal.

Relax.

To get, what, 48 hours of cover on this?

Crazy.

Crazy, Pat.

And I guess they think by then we'll come up with some other

excuse.

And it was.

The excuse was we'll get a sense of this soon.

Yeah.

Right.

That's about it.

That's what they came up with in the 48 hours, which honestly is more than I thought Corinne Jean-Pierre was capable of when it comes to reasoning.

Oh, man.

I mean, they're now trotting out Kirby for, what, 30, 40, 50% of these news conferences.

She's not even answering most of these questions anymore.

No, and they trotted him out again yesterday.

They did.

We'll get to that in just a minute.

In 60 seconds.

Tell you about American financing.

It's 2024.

A lot of Americans are trying to get their finances in order, and a lot of them are worried about what's going to happen to them if the economy continues to go down the tubes.

You might be one of them.

And I get it.

This is a really scary time.

And to be trying to play catch-up with those debts that always seem to be one step ahead can be difficult.

But right now, there's great news in the market for homeowners.

Interest rates have dropped, and now are the low fives.

Wow, we're going the right direction.

It's a lot lower than they were just last year, and that's positive.

If you've been buried in high interest credit card debt, now is the time to break free.

American Financing can help you access the cash in your home to pay off that high interest debt.

Last year, their salary-based mortgage consultants helped customers save an average of $854

a month.

It's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise.

Does that sound nice?

What a way to start the new year.

And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments, which also sounds kind of nice.

It's Pat and Stuford Glenn today.

I think if the Republican Party can't use this to their advantage to win this election in November,

they need to disband.

Just disband the Republican Party.

This alone should do it.

I mean, there's so much that you have on this administration, but I mean, this should be the final straw.

Pat, I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on this one.

Largely because there will be 947 other controversies that happen in

November.

That is true.

This will be long forgotten, I'm afraid, by the diet.

I can't let it be forgotten.

This is egregious behavior by these people.

It's so irresponsible.

Irresponsible, incompetent.

For all the criticism they put on the Trump presidency, you know, there's a lot of different ways they attacked Trump while he was in office, right?

But one of the ways they did it is he he just doesn't even know what he's doing, right?

Like he's a TV host.

He got in there.

He has no idea.

He's flailing around.

He's saying things.

You know, he's reversing them the next day.

Remember that whole thing about how he would say something and then Pence and all these aides would come out and kind of say the opposite and try to

back off of what he made a public statement.

And a lot of that criticism was like, he doesn't know how this works.

He's not in the middle of this and he doesn't know how this works.

And that criticism was constant from the media.

What do you get from this?

Joe Biden's been in the government since 1841.

He still doesn't know how this works.

None of these guys know the basics about the American governmental system.

They've all been career politicians or career military people.

They don't know how to do this yet.

Now, you know, like Corinne Jean-Pierre, you give her a break.

She can't get through four sentences.

She doesn't know how to tie her own shoes.

I understand she doesn't know, but somebody there has to know.

You would think, okay, John Kirby, maybe he knows.

Well, Steve Doocy asked him about this situation yesterday.

Here's what Kirby had to say.

This is amazing.

Okay, thank you for all the detail on that.

But more broadly, why should we believe anything that this administration tells us about anything ever again?

I think we all recognize, and I think the Pentagon has been

very, very honest with themselves about

the challenge to credibility by what has transpired here and by what and by

um

how how uh

how hard it was for them to be fully transparent with the american people i think we all recognize that and and wait wait no just give me a second i know you got another one coming here but but we all recognize that this

didn't unfold the way it should have on so many levels not just the notification

what a powerful recognition there yeah that this didn't happen the way it should have

no

really You do recognize that?

Come on.

I will say this.

What, Jesus?

That answers which he stopped and paused and stuttered and mumbled for about 45 seconds was 10 times better than any answer Corinne Jean-Pierre has ever given.

Which tells you something.

Which tells you something.

Because I will say, at the very least, he's acknowledging it didn't go well.

Yeah.

You know, Corinne Jean-Pierre would not do that.

She would read whatever sentence was in front of her, no matter what it said.

It could have been about Cheetos, and she'd just start reading it.

I mean, look, Kirby sucks, but at least he's attempting to do the job.

Corinne Jean-Pierre is the opposite.

Yeah.

A complete catastrophe every time.

And that's why they're rolling him out.

Why is he out there?

And it's a tough question because

why should we believe you on anything?

The only answer is you shouldn't.

You shouldn't.

You shouldn't.

That's the only answer.

You can stumble around for 15, 20 minutes trying to find a better answer.

There isn't one.

You shouldn't believe us on anything.

Everyone in this administration should resign today.

That's the answer.

Let's see the rest of this.

But the transparency issue.

We all recognize that.

And I think we all want to make sure we learn from that.

Oh.

It's up to you and your colleagues, and it's up to the American people to determine how much they're going to ascribe what happened here to our credibility on every single issue.

But in every way,

Secretary Austin has has been an exceptional Defense Secretary.

He still has the full faith and confidence of the Commander-in-Chief.

He has led

an incredibly dangerous time for our national security interests and those of our allies and partners.

But if the administration is going to go to such great lengths to keep secrets about the Defense Secretary's health, how can anybody be certain that the administration would not go to the same lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden's health?

Which they are.

You know, they are.

If you could logically argue, and you can't, but if you could logically argue that the administrative

administration made some sort of Machiavellian effort across the board to

keep this from getting public, then I think your question has merit.

They did.

And certainly is a fair one.

I don't think it's a fair one because that's not what happened here, Peter.

What happened here is the Secretary of Defense, for whatever reason, I can't answer the question why,

that information wasn't shared.

It wasn't shared widely in the department, and it certainly wasn't shared with the American people.

How many

of us are not good?

What year?

Which is why, again, we want to learn from this.

We want to make sure that it doesn't learn again.

It needs to happen.

I mean, what do you mean you don't know why?

Why haven't you?

Have you asked?

What do you mean?

You're up there talking to the American people right now.

You haven't asked yet?

Can't he just tell you?

Have they still not spoken to Lloyd Austin about this situation?

How is it?

Yeah, how is it that you don't know why?

Of course, they know why.

Incredible.

They certainly asked him, hey, why didn't you tell the president about this?

Nobody asked him that question.

And what was his response?

I mean,

it's really amazing.

This is just, it's unconscionable to me.

It's, I don't know that I've ever seen the like of it.

And we've seen a lot of stuff

over the last several years, especially, but this is incredible.

The Secretary of Defense

has major complications, is in an ICU unit for three days or four days, whatever it was,

after

having a prostatectomy, and he didn't tell anybody.

Nobody knew about it.

Nobody at the Pentagon.

and nobody at the White House.

And now everybody's trying to backpedal and figure this out on why we continue to lie to the American people and why this guy still has the full faith and confidence of the commander in chief.

How is that possible?

Disgrace.

I'm sorry.

How is that possible?

It really is a disgrace.

Wow.

And it should be, I mean, look, he should be fired for this.

I don't care if he's the best Secretary of Defense in our history, which, by the way, he is not.

Quite clearly and transparently.

It's the obvious not.

It might be the opposite.

But yeah, he should be fired and fired today.

This should go absolutely no further.

More patent stew for Glenn coming up.

Glenn Beck.

When it comes to your mobile carrier, if you had to choose between great service or giving your money to a company that believes in your values, which would you choose?

It's a tough question because you need the good service.

You want to be consistent with your values.

Well, here's some good news.

You can have both when you switch to Patriot Mobile.

Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

They put cause ahead of profits, and that's one of the reasons we're so proud to partner with them and have for a long time.

On top of having everything you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan on one of the three major networks, Patriot Mobile doesn't send your hard-earned money to aid in, I don't know, the destruction of America, which seems like a good idea.

You're going to get the same nationwide service, all while supporting a company that loves America.

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

And they're going to make sure the, you know, making the Switch is super easy for you.

Just go to patriotmobile.com slash back, patriotmobile.com/slash back, or call 972-Patriot.

How's patents do for Glenn today?

What a great administration we have.

And hopefully, you know, we'll get another five years out of it.

We got almost a year until the election and then hopefully be re-elected for four more years.

Well, then eight of Kamala

after that.

Okay, right.

I want to make sure we get the eight more after that.

Yep.

Yeah, that's a good point.

And then, you know, we could start.

By that point, we would just be.

I feel like there would just be like, we would have broken off from the continent.

It would look like the Titanic where half the country was underwater and it was about to break in half.

Well, Texas would certainly have seceded by that point.

I'm pretty confident in that.

I mean, I don't even want to think about it, man.

I don't even want to think about it.

This Lloyd Austin thing is just amazing.

And then, you know, you've got the total incompetence at the very, very top with Joe Biden as if he were the very, very top.

We all know that's Barack Obama.

But

the figurehead who was

speaking at the church the other day, did you see see that speech with Joe Biden at the church?

He had so many great things to say.

Really good things.

One of the things that we didn't focus on enough, I think, was when he talked about starting the civil rights movement.

Joe Biden?

Yeah, Joe Biden.

Yeah, as you know, started the civil rights movement.

Here he is talking about that.

I was talking downstairs.

I've spent more time in the Bethlehem E church in Wilmington, Delaware than I have than most people I know, black or white, have spent in that church.

Sure, sure.

Because that's where I started a civil.

No, I'm serious.

I started a civil rights movement.

No, he's serious.

That's where he started the civil rights movement.

That was the day?

Yeah.

That was when the whole civil rights movement started.

Gosh, I didn't think that was him.

Yeah, that was him.

Who did you think it was?

Somebody else.

I could give you a lot of names, but I didn't think Joe Biden wasn't even on the list of the names I would have provided that started the civil rights movement.

It's interesting because he said a little something different about that before.

Here's Joe Biden then

and Joe Biden now in Civil Rights Movement.

I've spent more time in

the Miami Church in Wilmington, Delaware than I have

than most people I know black or where to spent in that church.

Oh, okay.

Sure.

Because that's where I started a civil rights.

No, I'm serious.

I started a civil rights.

Very serious.

During the 60s, I was, in fact, very concerned about the civil rights movement.

I was not an activist.

Oh, Oh, wait.

I worked at an all-black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware.

I was involved.

I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling.

I was involved, but I was not out marching.

I was not down in Selma.

I was not anywhere else.

Huh?

Which is weird because he just said he started the civil rights movement.

Did he start it and then sort of hand it off?

Oh, did you know Luther King or somebody?

Yeah, he just Malcolm X, somebody.

Somebody.

Right.

Yeah.

Maybe that's what it was.

Maybe that's what it was.

So amazing.

It's like,

I mean, that is bizarre.

Yeah.

And none of this comes back on him.

None.

None.

None of it.

He gets so much cover from the mainstream media that they don't even talk about it.

He's constantly lying about his own life.

Now he lies about a lot of different things all the time.

His own life, he really doesn't seem to have experienced.

You know, and it's interesting because we just had this plagiarism thing and this copycat thing with the heads of Harvard and MIT and University of Pennsylvania.

He did his own little thing.

Do you remember what

Hillary did back in 2007 with the I don't feel no ways tired?

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

And then watch his thing from the other day.

Here's a comparison of the two.

I don't feel no ways tired.

I come too far

from where I started from.

Nobody told me that the road would be easy.

I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.

We've come too far

from where we started.

Nobody told me the road would be easy.

I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.

My fellow Americans,

I don't think a good Lord brought us this far to leave us behind.

I mean, I mean, at least he's not doing the accent.

Yeah.

And at least she, but at least she attributed it.

Right.

He didn't.

That's true.

He didn't.

Those were his words, apparently.

I just, I can't take it.

He's been caught in multiple plagiarism scandals.

I mean, he derailed his political career for a long time.

In 87.

Yeah.

In 87.

He copied the, he was like the labor party

member in England or something.

Yeah.

I'm close to his name, but

it's not popping into my head.

But he was,

yeah, he just stole a speech, basically.

Yeah.

And didn't attribute it.

And I don't know.

Maybe that wouldn't be a big deal today.

It didn't seem to be a big deal for Claudine Gay.

No.

No one cared

on the left.

They all said it was racial.

Now, I don't know what it would be for Joe Biden.

I don't know why that's been ignored, but he's doing the same.

He's been every single brand of controversy and scandal he's been involved in in one way or another.

Now, part of that is just, again,

he's been alive for almost 300 years.

So

you're going to kind of cross a lot of lines in that life.

Yeah.

But you'd think that there would be more,

I don't know, like I more feedback, more pushback, more blowback.

More self-reflection, though, is what I was going for.

Like if

you know that.

And we beat up on the media all the time, but they actually have done an okay job calling this stuff out from time to time, especially when he's talking about his own life.

The Washington Post has fact-checked these claims, his stories about his life, five, six, seven, eight times.

And they say over and over again, none of this is true.

He's lying.

We don't know why he keeps saying it.

In some cases, they've actually said he needs to stop saying it.

Yeah.

They said that about him claiming the $1.7 trillion

deficit cut.

He needs to stop saying this.

But he hasn't.

He just keeps saying it.

And they don't have to answer for it.

They just operate under completely different rules.

Yeah.

If it was Trump, of course, he'd be, well, impeached for a third or fourth or fifth time.

They should just schedule weekly impeachments if he wins again.

Right.

Just every week, they'll just keep impeaching them and then he won't get convicted and they'll just keep doing it over and over again.

Why bother with all this other stuff?

Stop looking like you need a reason.

You're just going to want to do it anyway.

Just

start it.

I mean,

that sounds ridiculous.

Of course, they're worse than that.

They're trying to not even allow him to be on the ballot to be voted for in the first place.

Which is pretty amazing.

This brand of democracy, Pat, that we have in this country, where the only way to truly express the founders' vision of democracy is to have a ballot with one checkbox.

If we could just, that's what they dreamed of one day.

Really?

Yeah, because you know, George Washington didn't like the political parties thing.

His big idea.

Remember something like that?

His idea was we just have one party.

Parties was his problem.

He did not want two options.

He wanted just the one guy.

What if we just, and this is not an idea they had considered at the time of the founding, but what if we just had a person who was perpetually in power and could just hand it off to their children over and over again, like a

king.

King?

Something like a king.

And what if we use that system here?

That's what they really wanted.

I mean, call it what you will, but somebody who is in power and can make all the decisions immediately.

So we don't have this elongated process where nothing gets done.

Like this Congress or a parliament or whatever that slows the process down.

We need somebody who just makes a quick decision and we move forward.

Yes.

Together.

Wouldn't that be great?

Yeah.

I don't like a Chairman Mao type of person.

Chairman Mao's a good example.

Yeah.

Like,

I like, you know, one of my favorite examples is Turkmenistan, where, you know, like sometimes, Pat, when you decide, you know what?

We don't need hospitals outside the Capitol.

Right now in this country, and I don't want to alarm anyone, but if Joe Biden decided that

the only hospitals in the country would be in Washington, D.C., he could not implement that plan by himself

under this system.

There are other systems where you can do that.

Turkmenistan, that was one of the guys.

And he got that job done, didn't they?

He got it done.

You just say, no, hey, you know what?

No more hospitals outside of Ashkabat.

Oshkabat?

Ashkabat.

No more.

That's the actual name of the capital of Turkmenistan, isn't it?

I mean,

I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

And the point is that, like, you know, if you want to.

It's been your favorite country for a long time.

I would think, you know, I haven't thought about it in a while, but I am, it is, it's still a passion of mine.

I want to visit someday.

But, like,

that is the stuff that you should be able to do if you're the president of the United States.

Yeah, and just get it done.

Yeah.

And by the way, we should give credit where credit is due.

Joe Biden's tried to do that with student loans, with the

eviction moratorium.

Even after he was told not to.

Yeah, even when the system said, no, you're not allowed to do that.

He just said.

He didn't do it anyway.

Yeah.

And of course, that is

by definition, specifically the exact type of thing our founders talked about when they talked about impeachment.

What if someone ignores the system?

It wasn't like, well, what if someone does something we don't like?

Or what if someone makes a call to a foreign official we don't appreciate?

You can argue whether that should be an impeachable offense or not.

That wasn't what they had in mind at the time.

What they had in mind at the time is someone who knows exactly what the system is, is told what the system is supposed to prevent, and then goes and walks through that wall anyway.

When that person does that, that's when you impeach him.

He's done it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and still no one cares.

And it's interesting because all the speculation from the media is that Donald J.

Trump would be that kind of person this time.

He would be a dictator this time.

How many times have we read that?

Like over and over and over in virtually every article I read about Donald Trump, he wants to be a dictator.

This guy is.

It's funny because the word dictator, because of, you know, people like Hitler and Edi Amin and name your foreign despot, has this

association with, of course, the horrible violence and criminal activity and all these things.

But like, if you go back to the early 20th century progressivism and that definition of dictator, it was this guy who just made all the decisions.

Right.

Like, he knew.

That's why the left loved Mussolini.

That's why they loved Mussolini at first.

They were completely enamored with him.

Yeah.

And everything he was doing because he was getting things done.

And it was

Woodrow Wilson, right?

It was the way he loved to look at the world.

His idea was we put a bunch of experts out there.

I mean, think of Fauci in this standpoint.

You get a bunch of experts out there who just tell everyone what they do and they know more about it than you, so you listen to them.

And that's how this works.

Now, it's not how this country is supposed to work, the United States, but it's been tried all around the world over and over and over again.

And I'm telling you, stuff like the student loan stuff, which gets overlooked because it's a boring topic.

And it's like, well, what, it's a couple hundred billion dollars here or there at this point in this crap heap of an economy.

Why do we even think about it?

And I understand that.

But he knew what he was doing was unconstitutional.

He was told so so by the Supreme Court already.

They already told him that it happened, and he's tried to do it.

Not only has he tried to do it once again and then got overturned by the Supreme Court, he's still trying to do it.

He's literally breaking the Constitution knowingly over and over and over again.

And there's not even talk about impeachment with him.

There should be.

There's talk about impeachment with him on, you know, his criminal, potential criminal activities with his son and all that, which is important.

It is.

But more important, more fundamental to that process, and especially how it was envisioned at the beginning, is what he's done on student loans and

the eviction moratorium.

And there's a few other examples down this road.

Yep, 100%.

The Glenn Beck program will be right back.

Man, what a time, Pat.

What a time.

No, it's a great time.

It's a great time to be alive, Stu.

And it's a perfect time to be an American because everything's going so well.

Did you see that Dr.

Anthony Fauci was called before the House Coronavirus Select Subcommittee to answer some questions?

And his answer on more than 100 of the questions that were asked him yesterday was,

I don't recall.

I do know.

It's hard to remember things.

It is, because it was so long ago.

I mean, how old were you in 2020 and 2021?

I don't even remember.

I think I was four years old.

So it's been a while.

It's been a while.

So naturally, he doesn't remember.

He's an old man and that was a long time ago.

It's pretty amazing.

But what some of the House members have said was that he exposed some real problems, uncovered drastic and systemic failures in America's public health system.

I thought those were fixed under Obamacare.

So how'd that happen?

That's weird.

And it has, it does feel in some ways that the pandemic was a really long time ago to me.

It does.

Would that be your explanation as to why there has been very little impact for the, I mean, like, the most hated figure seemingly on the right is Anthony Fauci.

Right.

Yeah.

And

I mean, it seems like a

you would think in a in a

approaching the Iowa caucuses that the fact that like Donald Trump was there for all of that, right?

Like Donald Trump was the guy.

You know, he had Fauci.

He kept him.

I mean, he doesn't doesn't like him now, but that whole time, right?

He was there, he was putting him on stage.

I mean, when you heard the phrase 10 days 15 days to slow the spread, Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci are standing right next to each other, right?

Like all that whole, and again, like you can, you might think, there's a hundred things you can think about that time, but the fact that most people, I think, on the right have made up their mind that Anthony Fauci's one of the worst people that's ever lived at the same point are about to vote for the guy who had him in power through that period by what, 40 points in Iowa?

Are you surprised that there's not, has not been more impact and pushback on that?

A bit.

Yeah.

A bit.

It's a weird election.

Yeah, it is.

It really is.

I think everybody just transferred the Fauci problem to Biden.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Which, you know, I mean, certainly there's part of it.

In part.

Yeah.

Yeah, in part, for sure.

But, you know, of course, he wasn't, you know, Biden wasn't president at that time.

Right.

At the beginning, certainly the first year.

Yeah.

It's surprising that that was, it seemed like it was going to be the biggest thing in the the election and then it's kind of dried up.

It's a new day, a time to rise

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment

This is the the Glenn Beck program.

Pat and Stu for Glenn.

Today, we're going to go over some of the polls and where everybody stands heading into Iowa on Monday.

So we got Iowa coming up on Monday, and then eight days after that is New Hampshire.

So two big primaries because these are momentum

gainers here for somebody.

Either Trump or

heaven forbid Nikki Haley.

Could be Ron DeSantis.

Maybe he surprises.

Anyway, we'll get into some of the poll results.

Coming up in one minute.

It would be nice if you could always count on having the medication you need available when you need it to never have to worry about medication shortages or emergency situations.

It would be a great world to live in.

By the way, it seemed like we did live in it for a long time.

Like you just get the medication that you need, at least it was available to you.

But now we live in this world where there's medication shortages.

We had like a record in December of 2023 for medication shortages.

What a bizarre.

Like 294 medications are in short supply.

How is that possible?

It's crazy.

You can do something about this, though.

You can prepare yourself with the Jace case.

It's a personalized emergency medication kit.

that contains five essential antibiotics which treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

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

You can choose the ones that best fit your family's needs.

They even have ivermectin if you want to get your hands on some of that.

You can get gift cards for your family or loved ones so that they can get and customize the Jace case of their own.

Jace is simple.

You go online, you fill out a form, you get your prescription, you get life-saving medications delivered right to your door.

And if you want to be prepared, yeah, you need food, yeah, you need water, but you need your medications as well.

Go to jacemedical.com, enter the code PREPAID at checkout.

You get a discount on your order.

JaceMedical.com.

The code is prepared.

The code prepared at jasmedical.com.

Okay, so primary season is upon us.

Hard to believe.

Iowa is Monday already.

It's gone by fast.

It really has.

And I might take this opportunity to remind you, I have a new podcast out.

It's a bonus podcast available in the mornings to give you a daily update on everything that's going on in the election, everything you need to know.

It's called State of the Race.

And if you go to the Stew Does America feed, wherever you get your podcast, you can get that update.

And we go through everything, the key metrics of the campaign, what's going on with each candidate, what they're doing, you know, are they moving their ad dollars around for some reason?

We're trying to look at all that stuff to keep you updated and do it in like 10 minutes.

Because honestly, you know, it can be a little overwhelming.

But you can get all that at Stu Does America, the feed on podcast.

It's audio only.

So make sure to check that out and subscribe.

We finally, I've been complaining about this for a long time.

We just haven't haven't been getting any polling, especially of Iowa.

It's been terrible.

There's just been a huge lack of polling for an election.

Now, part of that, I guess, people aren't that worked up about it because it doesn't feel like a normal election.

In a way, it feels like an incumbent is running.

And if you have those situations, it's like what's going on with Joe Biden and Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips on the Democratic side.

It doesn't feel like a real contest, right?

Everyone kind of assumes that Joe Biden's going to get that nomination.

Do you see?

I think that's wrong.

Did you see the turnout for

Dean Phillips the other day?

I did not, no.

Was it big?

Oh, my gosh.

Well, I mean, I don't know if you'd qualify it as big.

Okay.

So moderate?

Or moderate.

Or moderate.

Or even small.

No one showed up.

No one.

He held a political event.

And

he and his staff were the only people there.

So he did come.

He came.

So you're lying when you say no one came.

Dean came.

Dean came to his political event,

but there was nobody there to see it.

And so if Dean shows up to his political event, but nobody's there, did he actually show up?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Now, I will say this about Dean Phillips, and I cannot say this about any other candidate in this race.

Okay.

He's connected to Talenti,

gelato, or frozen dessert, whatever whatever that is.

It's freaking good.

Oh, I love that stuff, man.

Yeah, he's like, that's where he gets his money from, I think.

He's the, at least at one point, was the chairman and like co-owner of Talenti, which, if you've ever had it, it's in your freezer case.

Pretty darn good.

Yeah.

They've got that thing where they put like some of the gelato and then like some of like a layer of just like cookie pieces.

And then more gelato and like a little layer of like candy pieces.

It's like it's like a parfait.

Oh man.

It's delicious.

So honestly, like if I if I'm voting on the Democratic side, you can either have the essential oil lady, the guy who can't get through three sentences, or a guy who came up with awesome, you know,

gelato?

Come on.

How is this a contest?

He should be winning with 50 points.

That's right.

And no one's showing up.

What if he brings it?

He should be bringing Tolenti to every event.

That would bring people.

People would totally show up for that, even in the snow.

So anyway, that's just my particular opinion.

I will say he's a, we're not going to go on too long about Dean Phillips, but like it, it's fascinating.

He entered the race basically the last possible second.

And you know, he's thinking, like,

no one else is here.

Like, what if Joe Biden just goes away?

There's no one else in the race.

Maybe it just goes to me.

I don't think it was like a, I'm going to go out and beat Joe Biden.

It was like, what if Joe Biden has some huge scandal, God forbid has a health problem, drops out for whatever reason?

You know, as much as we all say, well, it will be Gavin Newsom or it'll be Kamala Harris.

like they're not running.

They're not running.

Yeah.

Now, my guess is the Democrats would just finagle the system to make them the candidates.

Of course, they would.

That's probably what would happen.

But he has this argument, like, I don't know, I'm on the ballots here.

Who are you going to vote for?

You can't vote for Kamala on the ballot.

I mean, it's an interesting play.

It's not going to work, but it is an interesting play.

Okay.

So we've been complaining for a while about the lack of polling in Iowa in particular.

And one of the things that the media does is they will just report a polling average as the state of the race.

And there's nothing wrong with a polling average.

Polling averages are fine.

It's better than one individual poll to average polls.

At least you get a better sense, larger sample size.

But like, you don't get all that much out of that if the polls that are included in the average are very old.

And that was the case up until yesterday.

The most recent poll in the Real Clear Politics average, for example, was December 18th.

So you were over three weeks on the most recent poll included, and then also included polls from over a month ago.

And that's not Real Clear Politics

fault.

That's just the fact that no one's been polling the state, which is weird, right?

Like, I feel like at this time, in every other cycle, we were getting poll after every day.

There was a new poll of Iowa, a new poll of New Hampshire.

Just really hasn't been the case.

Now, part of that is because it's really expensive and it's getting harder and harder to do.

I mean, there was a time, Pat, where you'd get 30%,

40% response rates to these polls.

Now they're talking about 1%.

Wow.

I didn't know it was that bad.

That bad.

Who?

I mean, you're going to answer a freaking pollster right now?

No.

And this is part of the reason why sometimes they're unreliable.

Can they call cell phones?

Yeah, they can.

And they do.

Most of them do at this point, but it doesn't work.

I don't even have a LEND line anymore.

Do you?

Yeah, we did put one in, actually.

Relatively recently, we actually had it the whole time and for years didn't have a phone plugged in at the house.

Yes, us too.

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

while we're going to the grocery store,

like, yeah, let's have a phone that's there so we can call them.

But that's really the only reason.

And we almost never use it other than just calling the kids and saying, hey, is everything okay?

We've been gone for eight minutes.

Have you burned the house down?

And

usually they haven't.

Yeah.

Sometimes they have, obviously.

Obviously.

Get a rebuild after those incidents.

But

so we finally did get some polling from not only Iowa, but also New Hampshire here over the past

24, 48 hours.

And

it's interesting, but limited in what it tells us.

There's one poll that came out from Morning Consult, which is a poll.

This pollster has been around for a while, have some interesting ways of doing their polling.

And

if you look at the Real Clear Politics Average, it does list this poll.

What the poll says, top line, is Trump at 58.

Nikki Haley in second place in Iowa at 15, Ron DeSantis at 14, Vivek Ramaswamy at 10,

and then Chris Christie at 3 and Asa Hutchinson at 1?

Not 0, but 1.

So think about that for a second as you look at people making a run here last minute.

I mean, Asa, at any point.

You talk about momentum.

Yeah.

I mean, no one else has gone up an infinity percent over the past few weeks.

Only Asa Hutchinson can claim that.

If he continues that pace, Pat, he will win this election.

So just keep that in mind.

So you look at that and okay, okay, that is basically the picture of this race over the past few months, right?

Donald Trump over 50%, kind of blowing everybody out.

If you want to say there's any change there, it's probably been a little bit of a rise for Haley above DeSantis.

DeSantis has been second in that race for a very long time.

However, this particular poll is very strange.

First of all, Real Clear Politics lists it as occurring between January 1st and January 7th.

That's the date range that they made these phone calls.

However,

I went through the poll and they actually,

it could be a misprint, I guess, in the poll literature, but it says the polls were conducted from December 1st, 2023 to January 7th, 2024.

So a 40-day period of making these phone calls.

How many of these calls were made in December 1st and how many were made on January 7th?

Like that's a big difference.

And the way they talk about it, they say it is the December result.

So, you know, they do this monthly.

and so I don't know what you can take out of that.

What do you take out of that result?

It's only, by the way, only 353 people in the sample size, which is super small.

So, I don't know what you get out of that particular poll.

Honestly, in my mind, I'm not going to take much.

Trafalgar also released a poll, however, and they've been, you know, they've had their ups and downs, but had some really good cycles.

They have it at Trump 52, Haley 18, DeSantis 18,

Ramaswamy at 5, Christie 3, and Hutchinson at

1.

Yeah, yeah, he's, I mean,

it's consistent.

So I don't know what you take out of the first poll.

The second one, you know, Trafalgar is obviously a Republican-leaning pollster,

but still,

you have a situation where they're showing the same thing, basically, that Trump's up by a lot.

Now, the Iowa caucus is famously strange, right?

People, and I'm talking to Steve Dace on Studios America tonight, and I'm curious because he's there.

The weather's terrible.

Like, really cold.

Really cold.

Lots of snow.

Events being canceled.

It's going to be cold here on Monday.

Can you imagine Iowa?

Oh, my gosh.

I know.

It's supposed to be, I think,

21 or 20.

I saw it here in Dallas.

Now, if you look at the map.

With a low of four.

No.

Four.

Four.

Yeah.

If I get another freaking pipe burst, I'm going to lose my mind.

I'm going to lose my mind.

I know.

I'm moving.

I moved to Texas for warmth.

There's not supposed to be days where it hits four.

I know.

I know.

It's this global warming.

I'm on board with it.

I am on board with it now.

First of all, I want more of it to happen.

But secondly, I now believe in all climate change conspiracies because it's too cold here.

But

imagine how cold it's going to be.

If you've ever been in Iowa, and I know, Pat, you know, you've been there and covered some of these events over the years.

Not only is it cold in Iowa,

it does not capture what it feels like to be there.

The number does not quantify what it feels like with the winds of the plains blowing through 95 layers of clothing, no matter how many you have on.

It cuts through and it slices through your torso.

It disintegrates your flesh.

It is so freaking cold around caucus time.

People are not wanting, they're not going to want to go to a caucus.

It's fascinating.

It's a really interesting part of this.

Trump has been leading for a long time.

A lot of people are taking his win for granted.

The best organization in the state, I think, without a doubt is Ron DeSantis.

I mean, even Haley, who is equaling him in some of these polls, does not have the type of operation that DeSantis has in the state.

That's pretty clear.

DeSantis has been there putting all of his eggs in this basket, needs to have a big showing.

I mean, there is a world where DeSantis overperforms and is helped out by the weather situation where his people walk through these, you know,

the wall of

ice to get to these caucus locations.

And, you know, Nikki Haley doesn't show up.

You know, she's spending a lot of money now, but she doesn't have that sort of organization in Iowa.

So I want to give you the, we should look at the New Hampshire polls too, because New Hampshire is a totally different situation.

And it kind of draws a different picture of the race and how this could go.

Is there a chance that DeSantis could surprise and make it closer than these polls look?

I think so.

But, you know, it's a tough road, right?

Like, I mean, I think, you know, people have looked at this and they said, look, the 2020 election was something we didn't like.

We think, you know, Donald Trump maybe got ripped off.

We think he deserves this nomination just because of that.

Now he's being targeted by all of these people who want to take him off the ballot and throw him in prison.

We have to stand up for him.

And I think that's the overwhelming arc of this race right now.

Like, that's how people are making these decisions.

They're not making it based on DeSantis' record in Florida

to their benefit, to their detriment.

You can make that decision for yourself, but that's not how this election is being settled right now.

I mean, you look at these numbers, you don't see people saying, well, Ron DeSantis sucks and he was a bad governor.

That's not what the polling shows at all.

They all think he did a really good job.

And they think he's overwhelmingly popular in the party and well-liked.

But that is not seemingly how people are making decisions at this point.

Yeah, Trump is still up by more than all the other candidates combined.

He still has more support.

That's not good if you're a challenger.

That's not good if you're a challenger.

No, more coming up in 60 seconds.

It's an underappreciated fact that trust is really hard to come by.

And in the world of business, pretty much any business, that might go double.

When you're trying to sell your home, buy a new home, or even worse, do both at the same time, it's very important that the real estate agent you're doing business with is someone you trust.

And how do you know?

Well, Glenn solved that problem years ago when he started Real Estate Agents I Trust with his brother.

Agents

they work with, well, they're people that you like, people you can trust, people who do their job well, good people who care about the same things you care about.

They're not just some of the best real estate agents out there.

They're solid Americans, and most of them are listeners to this program as well.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

Okay, so we covered Iowa.

What is the situation in New Hampshire then, eight days later, right now?

Yeah,

it's an important one.

And honestly, like we

talked about a couple of polls that came out mid to late December and early January that no one really talked about.

And these polls from, it was American Research Group, I believe.

And both of these polls showed Nikki Haley within three points.

in New Hampshire.

What?

So a very close poll, but

there weren't a lot of, there was no real supporting evidence.

And the question was, okay, what's going to happen when new polls come out?

CNN poll came out yesterday and showed the race in New Hampshire this way.

Donald Trump at 39%,

Nikki Haley, 32%.

Now, the rest of the field is far behind.

Chris Christie at 12%, Vivek Ramaswamy at 8%.

Ron DeSantis has basically turned off his campaign in New Hampshire.

He's focusing on Iowa, but he's only at 5% in the poll.

Asa Hutchinson at

1%.

I mean, the guy is showing up in poll after poll.

Wow.

What's fascinating about this when you look deeper in the polling?

He's not even running, right?

No, he's done.

He is.

He is still in the race because I keep thinking he's

left a long time.

This is a big problem of his campaign, Pat.

People keep thinking he doesn't have one.

That's what I think.

And that's not great.

No, it isn't.

No, he's at one.

Man, if people knew he was running, imagine.

Imagine where he could be.

I think he'd be winning.

I think he'd be winning by

maybe double digits.

But no one knows.

There's actually a great headline yesterday.

A.S.A.

Hutchins has a message for Iowa voters, quote, I'm still running.

End quote.

Not a great headline.

That's not good.

Not a great headline.

But let me break this down for you because the question is not necessarily whether Haley is doing well in New Hampshire.

She is.

I would not be surprised at all if she won New Hampshire.

I mean, that is, especially as we get closer, I think some of those Christie voters might say, okay, this isn't happening.

We better do something to stop Trump.

Those are all stop Trump people, right?

There's 12% of them in this poll.

I think there's a good chance some of those people flake off to Nikki Haley.

Wow.

But I think there's a good chance she wins New Hampshire.

However, the way she is building that win is not sustainable for an actual victory when it comes to the nomination.

Let me give you this breakdown.

Among Republican voters in New Hampshire, this is how it breaks down.

Trump, 50,

Haley, 27,

Christie 5.

Okay.

Among independent and Democratic voters who plan to vote in the Republican primary, Haley 47,

Christie 31,

Trump 5.

So it's an open primary?

Yeah.

Anybody can vote.

This is a totally different scenario than you're going to see in most of these other states.

You can't build your coalition on Democrats.

She's beating

Trump among Independents and Democrats by 42 points.

That's how she's close.

That is not going to hold in other states.

Now, the next state,

and this is really her only chance, is going to be South Carolina, where

it's her home state.

And you think, can she, if you're trying to rationalize,

right?

Yeah, way behind.

But if you're trying to rationalize a victory for Nikki Haley in this campaign, what you'd say is she wins New Hampshire and then gets

that you get after a win.

Yeah.

And that plus her home state situation.

That's what South Carolina did for Biden last time.

Yeah.

Turned it around.

Right.

Completely.

So she was out of it.

Is it impossible?

Probably not, but is it likely?

It's a lot less likely than it looks when you look at the top lines of those polls.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today, AAA 727BECK.

We were talking about some of the poll numbers heading into Iowa and New Hampshire.

Some

interesting numbers when you break them down in New Hampshire, especially because they allow Democrats and Independents to vote in the Republican primary.

Yeah, very interesting.

And for that reason, I think you could make the case.

Like, I think if you're Nikki Haley right now, I think you could plausibly make the case that you're in second place in this primary and Ron DeSantis is in third.

However, I don't think you can plausibly make the case that you have a better chance of winning the primary than Ron DeSantis does.

It's kind of counterintuitive, but like the Ron DeSantis support

in some ways is more real, right?

Like the people who, those are the, the people who are supporting DeSantis are the people who are going to make the decision in the primary.

The people who are supporting Haley are like fringe people who she can make a good general election argument with that crowd.

The fact that moderates like her is obviously an argument for her in the general election.

She's done

the domination now.

But you're right.

Like how, I don't know how you do it.

It would take a collapse from Donald Trump to do it.

The DeSantis path is more clear in that he needs to just convince people who like him to vote for him.

It hasn't worked as far as we know, but

there haven't been any votes cast other than some absentee ballots, but it hasn't worked as if we know yet.

But it is more plausible than I think the path that Haley is trying to take.

I don't know how you can win a primary approaching it that way, though I would not be surprised at all if she does actually win New Hampshire.

I think it's

very plausible that she wins it.

But the breakdown was she has 27%

support among Republicans, right?

Wasn't that it?

27 Republican voters, 27%.

Independent and Democrat, though it's like 47.

47.

So she is trailing Trump by 23 points among Republican voters, and she leads Trump by 42 among Independent and Democratic voters.

That's right.

Obviously, that's just like a stop Trump effort in New Hampshire.

Exactly.

And it might work in New Hampshire, but we've seen this happen before.

You know, John McCain beating George W.

Bush back in the day.

That was a big surprise at the time in New Hampshire, but didn't work out to anything, right?

There was no path really there for him to win long term.

And I think

that was much more questionable at the time.

You know, Haley winning here, unless she can somehow turn that into a back-to-back type of situation in South Carolina, I just don't, I don't know.

I don't see how it's happening.

But there's something to look at there.

A couple other things, Pat.

And by the way, we've covered all this on the past few days of State of the Race.

It's the new podcast that's available on the Studios America feed.

It's audio only.

So

if you're wherever you're getting your podcast, go there.

sign up for Studios America.

You'll get the main show that we do every day, but also a special bonus pod, State of the Race, to try to get you through all this and learn

what's behind the mainline numbers.

Because, I mean, you're getting all sorts of nonsense from the mainstream media.

You've got to get more information than that.

And, of course, we'll keep you updated here on the radio show as well.

But this is sort of a bite-sized, you know, 10-minutes type of

effort to get you the news that you need in the morning.

So check that out.

It's called State of the Race on the Studies America feed.

A couple of other interesting parts

of this.

Vivek Ramaswamy has been going back and forth and kind of like busting on other candidates for not showing up for their events because it's cold and snowy.

And, you know, it's, I don't know, I don't know.

I mean, you know,

I don't show up to anything when it's cold and snowy.

So I can't blame people for not doing that.

But did you know he's really been everywhere in Iowa?

You know, you hear this, oh, the full Grassley, 99 counties in Iowa.

Did you know that over the past three months in 2023, the last three months of 2023, Vivek Ramaswamy did more than

almost four

times as many events as any other candidate?

Oh, wow.

Almost four

times as many.

Now, DeSantis was quite active in the last three months of 2023 in Iowa.

Vivek Ramaswamy is everywhere.

Like, I feel like you'd bump into him at every drive-through, at every diner, at every, you know, you go to get your taxes done.

He's at H ⁇ R Block.

I think he's everywhere.

So he has really put in a real effort and shown a lot of energy.

I don't see a ton of evidence of it paying off yet in the polling, but it is fascinating to watch.

And he has an event coming up tonight, a town hall of some sort, right?

Donald Trump has one that's airing on CNN.

Am I right on that, Pat?

I think it's CNN.

No, Donald Trump?

Yeah, I think he's on Fox.

He's on Fox.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

He's on Fox.

The CNN is the debate, right?

This is actually kind of a big, big thing for Fox because Fox, after they got sued over the whole election fraud thing and had to pay $787 million, they just stopped putting Donald Trump on the air live.

They were like terrified that he was going to say something that they get sued for.

And Donald Trump doesn't get sued.

They get sued.

I don't know how exactly that works.

This is this weird thing where you put guests on and they say something and you get in trouble for it.

I don't know how that works, but this is going to be the first time he's been live since like early 2022 on Fox News.

It's been almost two years.

Wow.

Which is crazy.

Yeah.

But he's going to be on live doing a town hall, and then there's going to be a debate between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis only.

Two people on stage.

First time that's happened.

They're the only two that qualified.

The last debate before Iowa happens tonight.

And that one is on CNN, I think.

I think so too.

I could be wrong on the networks, but you'll find it if you want to watch it.

I don't know that there's much interest, though.

And then Vivek's on somewhere on a town hall, too.

He's got a town hall as well.

So a lot going on tonight.

And look, this is the stretch run.

It's fascinating though to look at

how these candidates are perceived by Republican voters.

And this is nationwide Republican voters, but a fascinating.

I mean, it really does give you a picture as to where these candidates stand.

If you look at who has the highest net favorability among Republicans, Donald Trump is plus 58.

So, very good numbers, you know, right?

Plus 58 is a wonderful number.

You should have, you know, if you're the president of your party, you should have numbers like that.

Ron DeSantis, at one point, was right around the same area, about plus 60.

He has fallen now.

He's about plus 39.

So still pretty good.

Really good, though, a really good number.

He's kind of, he started at about plus 40, went up to about plus 60.

Now he's been down to about plus 40 again.

That's happened over the past couple of years, but a very popular candidate, well liked in the party.

And this is one of the strange things about this election cycle.

There are certainly people.

I see him online all the time telling me how evil and horrible Ron DeSantis is, how bad Florida is.

You know, I mean, you know, Trump has obviously said a lot of those things as well as his opponent, but like, I don't think the Republican voters buy that at all.

I don't think Republican voters think Ron DeSantis has done a bad job in Iowa in Florida.

I don't think they think Florida sucks.

I don't think that they think he would be a bad president.

I just think there's a decent amount of people in the party who like Trump more.

And I don't know that,

given the profile of Donald Trump, which is incredibly unique, this is a guy who was the president of the United States and before that was one of the most famous people in America.

He is currently probably the most famous person in the world.

Taylor Swift, you go back and forth on that one.

I don't know, but I would say he's probably the most famous person in the world.

Maybe the Pope.

I don't know.

He's certainly on that level.

And now running with

a campaign that's kind of based on, you know, his idea that he got screwed in 2020 and he's getting screwed by people today with all the persecution from the DOJ and all the rest.

Very difficult not to crack if you're an opposing candidate.

But plus 38.9% is great for Ron DeSantis in any other circumstance.

Nikki Haley is plus 19.

So not unpopular, but not nearly as popular as DeSantis or Trump in the party.

The vake Ramaswamy is right around that same area.

He's plus 17 when you're talking about favorability.

So Ramaswamy came in.

Almost no one knew about him.

He rose up to about plus, almost to the DeSantis levels when he first kind of came on the scene.

He was plus 40, but he's fallen off.

You know, the debate performances for Ramaswamy were very, very, you know, polarizing.

Yeah, some people loved him.

Yeah.

Some people couldn't take him.

Yeah.

You know, so that was kind of where he is.

So, again, to give you perspective on that, I want to give you this last number to give you perspective.

Trump plus 58.

DeSantis plus 38.

Haley plus 19.

Ramaswamy plus 17.

Chris Christie

minus 35.

And that's among Republicans.

This is the party he's trying to win the race with.

Yeah.

Nobody likes him.

Nobody likes him.

And of course, the Haley people are going nuts.

They're like, what are you doing?

We could win New Hampshire here if you drop out.

All of his voters would go to Haley.

Yeah.

I mean,

maybe a few would go to DeSantis or Ramaswamy, but none of them would go to Trump.

Yeah.

You know, and it might be enough for her to win New Hampshire, which would, again, if Chris Christie's stated reason for being in this race, which is to stop Donald Trump, was true,

he obviously would drop out and support Nikki Haley.

Of course, it's not true.

He has a book coming out.

Right.

Right.

He has a book coming out.

He likes being on TV.

Nobody likes Chris Christie more than Chris Christie.

And so that is the reason he's actually in this book.

I'm Fat.

That's the subtitle.

Oh, okay.

Huh.

All right.

My My candidacy, it's my candidacy subtitle.

I'm fat.

By the way, I should note, if you go to youtube.com slash stew doesamerica, you'll find a new commercial we helped produce for Chris Christie, a new direction for the campaign.

That was just our idea.

Nice.

And you thought maybe people would like it.

If you go to youtube.com slash stew doesamerica, you can watch it.

And I think you'll enjoy it.

Okay.

I think you'll enjoy it.

Check it out on the YouTube page now.

So I don't know.

I think when you look at this race, I'd love to get your thought on this, Pat, because you've done a bunch of these.

You've covered a bunch of these.

I mean, you go back a while, and even before you were in talk radio, you were doing, you know, big radio shows across the country where while you talked about this, you're not election-focused, right?

But you still talked about it all the time.

Do you remember between Britney Spears songs?

Between Britney Spears songs.

Do you remember a campaign like this where it feels like people just aren't interested at this level?

I mean, like, I can't remember ever watching debates where people weren't talking about it the next day.

And that's happened.

Part of that's Trump not showing up.

But I think part of it, too, is people just kind of assume it's his nomination.

Yeah.

And I think everybody's proceeding that way under that assumption that

Trump has won this thing.

And I've almost reached that conclusion.

Doesn't it look?

It looks like Trump has won this thing.

I mean, when you're 40 points ahead of the rest of the field, when you add up everybody, every every other candidate and their numbers, and it doesn't equal Trump's,

it's kind of a foregone conclusion.

Feels that way.

And under normal circumstances, I do think that's true.

Yeah.

I think there is a bit of an asterisk on this one because in some ways, it's a two-tiered primary, right?

You have the norm, tier one is the normal race, right?

What's a normal race?

A bunch of candidates get in, they fight it out, one candidate wins, right?

Like that's the way it's supposed to happen.

But you can't look at this election solely that way.

You have to look at the second tier of this race, which is at some point, Donald Trump might be placed in a gulag.

Yeah.

Right.

Like, I don't know what the hell's going to happen.

They're trying to throw him in prison.

They're trying to make it so you can't vote for him because his name isn't on the ballot.

So under that circumstance, you have to look at another tier and pick a second choice.

and come up with some other way to understand what happens if they do successfully remove him from ballots somehow, which I don't expect to happen.

Hope not.

That'd be a problem.

Yeah.

Or, you know, know, that'd be a problem.

The fact that they throw him in prison, which is actually, I think, more likely than him

taking them off the ballot.

Now, look, he can technically still run in that situation, but who knows what that circumstance brings.

So, looking at this and who finishes in second and how that progresses is important in this one circumstance.

It's not about lining up who, who's going to be the 2028 nominee.

Normally, that's what you get out of these, right?

Like, I don't know, Marco Rubio could be a future guy because he finished fourth or whatever we were talking about in 2016.

This is like, this could happen this election cycle.

I mean, if we take the deep state, quote unquote, seriously,

you have to think that way.

Interesting how those 2016 solid options like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz,

all gone because

Donald Trump destroyed him.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's true.

That's true.

As far as presidential candidates, he destroyed them.

Even though a lot of them are close to him now.

Yeah.

But I mean, like,

Rand Paul was an interesting one.

We talked to him, God, it was probably six months ago now in this interview.

And

one of the questions we asked him was: you know, would you consider running again?

Would you consider jumping in?

Maybe.

No, no, it has to be more than this because it was before Trump got in the race, which was now much longer than six months ago.

And he's like, not if Trump gets in, what's the point?

Like, I think he was considering, he would consider running again if Trump wasn't in.

But he basically said, what's the point?

If Trump's running, it's going to be his nomination.

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

That's Cooper Glenn today.

UFO whistleblower has said that the U.S.

government is hiding a 12-meter TARDIS-like.

So that's obviously from

the BBC sci-fi thing.

I will say

you sometimes use the word obviously, and it applies.

To me, I will say not obviously.

Not obviously.

I don't know the reference.

Okay, so what is this?

Okay, well, the TARDIS is what Doctor Who flies around in.

It looks like a phone booth on the outside, but it's really big on the inside.

So it's 12 meters on the outside, but it's the size of a football field inside Stew.

How would that work?

Technology.

It's technology.

Just alien technology.

You're just going to say the word technology and act like that answers the thing.

Right, yes.

Alien.

Okay.

Technology.

Those two words made it together.

Okay.

So

they're hiding it because, I mean, do they hide it in a football field size building or do they hide it in a meter-sized building?

I think only a 12-meter-sized building is all you need for something like that.

So, it doesn't need to be a really big warehouse like where they're storing the Ark of the Covenant.

Okay, you don't need that size of a place.

Oh, God.

Well, it's interesting to note.

I mean, honestly, with the way the government is running,

I wouldn't put a past them.

Yeah, I wouldn't either.

I wouldn't either.

All right.

One of the things about Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, is that he feels our pain somewhat.

He somewhat feels our pain on the illegal immigration situation because he's been inundated, well, inundated for New York.

He thinks he's been inundated by 160,000 illegals.

Try about 5 million like we have in Texas or 10 million, whatever the number is.

It's way into the millions here, and we've been dealing with it for 60 years.

And just expected to do it.

Yeah.

And just take this one for the team.

Yeah.

It's kind of the pitch to Texas and Arizona and California at some level and even New Mexico.

And up until recently, we were just expected to deal with it, and they didn't care in the Northeast.

Well, they care now because

Greg Abbott happily sent them some illegals to deal with on their own.

And by the way, the number is important here.

I think think it was 20 or 25,000 he sent

to New York.

Not 160,000.

Right.

A small percentage of this.

Now, he's getting all the blame and at some level, all the credit from my perspective for this.

Look,

he's the guy who stuck by it.

Doug Ducey was doing this in Arizona as well, very early on.

There was this, you know, the Ron DeSantis Martha's Vineyard is sort of on that map as well.

But really, the person who's done it consistently for a long time has been Greg Abbott, sending buses up to New York, York, people who want to go to New York.

And why wouldn't you?

Yeah.

It's a free lunch.

Yeah, it's a sanctuary city.

So you're not going to be prosecuted there.

You're not going to be arrested there.

It's a great place to go.

Won't be turned over to authorities.

They guarantee the right to shelter in New York, so you automatically get a place to live.

What could possibly be better?

And they've purchased...

four and five-star hotels to house illegals in, in some cases.

They've also confiscated schools from Brooklyn high school students, kicked them out of the school and put 2,000 illegals in there instead.

And they're doing remote learning.

This is a real story.

This is a real thing that's happening in the United States of America right now.

This is happening right now because it got cold in New York, really cold.

And so they moved them from 10 cities where they had about 2,000 people hanging out.

And they just said, okay, we're going to confiscate this Brooklyn school.

And now it's going to be a home for 2,000 illegals.

You don't know anything about them, but we're going to move your students out.

They can go remote learn somewhere else.

And this is where these illegals are going to stay now.

Congratulations.

Complete.

2,000 people you don't know anything about in your neighborhood now.

Complete collapse.

Oh, my God.

I mean, this is a collapse.

It's unbelievable.

It's an Eagles-esque collapse that is going on right now.

I don't know if I'd go that far.

That's too.

I don't know.

That's crazy.

I don't know how to do it.

Now you're in the correct way of Eric Adams.

But like, this is really pathetic.

Now, again, we're talking about a small part of the problem that has hit New York.

Very tiny.

Now, of of course, their rules have...

They think it's the worst thing of all time that's ever happened anywhere.

And their rules make it that way at some level.

Like the right to shelter law makes this problem worse in a big way.

Now, of course, they won't get rid of it.

Of course not.

They won't just say because that would be hateful and xenophobic.

They might say, like, you could see a sane society that somehow had this law in the books.

And says, you know what, we wanted to help illegal

homeless people.

Thought it was the right thing to do.

It gets cold here.

Who wants to live on the streets?

It's not like people are going to take advantage of this.

And we now realize that, okay, people will.

They will take advantage of this.

You got 160,000 people pouring in.

We can't give them shelter.

Obviously, we're repealing this law.

It doesn't work.

Nope.

Nope.

They just keep it in.

They keep saying nice things about illegal immigrants.

They say stuff like, what we need to do is give them green cards so they can work.

That's like their big solution to the illegal immigration.

Yeah, they'll fix it.

AOC just said, well, you know what you do about undocumented people

is give them documents.

Yeah.

Oh, okay, that can take care of the situation.

Are they going to use the paper as blankets?

How does that work exactly?

That's so stupid.

It's not about whether they're documented or not.

Though, look, would it be better if we knew who was coming into the country?

Sure.

But AOC, of course, opposes that.

Right.

She doesn't want you to know.

If you said, like, we're just going to make sure we know every single person and put them on a giant list, she would oppose it in a second.

But the documentation thing is okay for her

because what they basically argue is, all these people are here because they're the best people in the world.

All they want to do is work super hard and buy mansions all over the city, and you won't let them because you won't let them go to work because it's illegal, as if they would care about that restriction.

Remember, they came into the country not caring about that restriction.

And now they've gone to these places and are like, well, I just look, I would work and make $100,000 a year, but they just won't let me come on how can anyone believe that but of course it's aoc and the way that she could believe it is she's an idiot and that's an interesting part of this pat dumb people might understand and agree with these uh arguments but only dumb people could understand and agree them agree with them yeah and you know what what's great what feels good though is that the northeast is getting a little taste of this.

People like Eric Adams are

getting a little taste.

I mean, a tiny, tiny

bite-sized taste of what Texas and Arizona and California and New Mexico have been dealing with.

Look, I was born in New York.

I grew up in Connecticut.

I mean, like, I, there's, there's a lot to say for, especially the food up there.

Um, but

the policies are insane.

They are.

They continue to destroy themselves.

And look, I don't know if anyone's noticed.

I'm not the only one who's left that area.

A lot of people, even people who are liberal, are saying, this obviously doesn't work.

I need to go somewhere else, like Florida, like Texas.

And they're making those choices all the time.

They're making those choices with their entire, they're betting their life on it.

They are leaving these areas and uprooting their entire lives to get away from these policies.

Now, some of them still go down to Florida and try to vote the other way, which is perplexing and I will never understand it.

But generally speaking, you know, people are running away from these places because of the policies we're discussing.

And of course, Eric Adams is a whole nother story.

Like, Adams is, look, as bad as Adams is, he's still better than de Blasio, who was a complete catastrophe.

Adams at least does have, at least he's aware of this problem and treating it somewhat seriously.

But

Adams has this same weird thing that Biden has, which is this strange

lack lack of understanding and knowledge about his own life.

He continually tells stories about his life that did not occur,

which is really weird.

Could it happen once in your life?

Maybe, but with him, it's happened multiple times.

He released a vegan, I think, cookbook in 2020.

You know, it's about being healthy.

He's now, he was unhealthy his whole life.

Now he's a healthy vegan.

And then like a few months later, they're like, hey,

you seem to be eating fish currently.

What's the deal?

Oh, I eat fish sometimes.

Well, that's not, that's not even vegetarian, let alone vegan.

That's pescatarian, I think, is the word for that, but it's not vegan, right?

Like, vegan is like no animal products.

He might be like me, mostly vegetarian.

You know, but eats occasional fish.

Right.

Okay.

Yes.

That is like you.

Like me, some chicken from time to time.

A bit of chicken.

Just a little bit of chicken, a little bit of fish, but mostly vegan.

Yeah.

You know?

Well, and sometimes

beef.

And cheese and eggs.

Cheese and eggs.

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Pork.

Oh, a lot of

pork.

Ham, bacon.

Yep.

In all of its forms.

Yeah.

But mostly, you know, but definitely a lot of dairy.

Oh, yeah.

You know, cream.

Everything in a cream sauce.

You know, sure.

But mostly vegetarian.

Mostly vegetarian.

I mean, there's a lot of animals i don't eat and a lot of their products that i don't indulge in you know like you've never had

horse pudding never had horse pudding not ever you don't eat that right i've never eaten hoof you've never had a hoof nope uh a hoof biscuit nope no not one i thought one time you did have a hoof biscuit no i didn't wow not that i know of anyway right sometimes you think you're having you know uh you're having some other lard based product and it's actually hoof and people don't know

Well, you do keep track of that, don't you?

I know.

Yeah, you do.

Well, because like marshmallows.

Who would guess there's animal tendons in marshmallows?

I know, that's weird.

Until you, I had no idea.

No one.

I still eat them like crazy.

I don't care, but it just, it is an icky.

I'd rather have the marshmallows.

They do make marshmallows without the boiled animal tendons in the animal.

Oh, they do?

And I, you know.

And you do have those?

I'd rather have those.

Yeah, okay.

I would prefer.

In fact, not just rather.

You you wouldn't touch a marshmallow if it had an animal tendon in it i would not just that does not seem yummy to me

but again but you can taste your own taste the animal tendon in it i don't know i don't know i doubt it i don't think so i don't think you would know that there's animal tendon

that's a gelatin that's a gelatin is that's it's just gelatin is in marshmallows but gelatin is jello as well like that's what it is j-e-l-l-o jell-o is animal tendon yeah it's made with gelatin which is gelatin is boil like boiled animal tendons or some sort of

people are learning with me, right?

This is not what I intended to do with this segment.

I don't want to gross you out on jell-o.

That was not my intent, but let me

necessarily live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

Who cares, right?

I don't care.

He can eat whatever the hell he wants.

Yes.

But when you write a vegan cookbook about how it's changed your life and made you healthy, it's weird that you would still eat fish, right?

There's a weird thing.

Why not just be honest with people?

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's another story with another one of his books.

How many books does this guy have?

Well, that's a good question.

He doesn't seem to know the answer to it.

Let me tell you the story.

If you haven't heard it, it's bizarre.

Now, he wrote a book in 2009, and it was a parental advice book, and it was called Don't Let It Happen.

Okay.

Now, in this book, he recounts a story from his childhood.

May I read this to you, Pat?

Sure.

I hope you will.

When I was a child, a friend of mine brought a gun to school to show off to the rest of the students.

This was my first time seeing a real gun.

After years of playing cowboys and Indians with toy guns, I did not believe the gun he was showing us was real.

I laughed at his stupid trick and grabbed the gun from him.

If this gun is real, I said, then it should go off.

I pointed what I thought was a toy gun at my group of friends, at my group of friends, and pulled the trigger.

A round discharged

and only by the grace of God and my poor aim did the bullet miss my friends the incident scared me so much that I dropped the gun and ran now that's a pretty amazing story right like yeah and a shocking one and what a moron what a moron but again a kid so you give him some sort of break on that now a reporter raised the subject to the mayor and said, hey,

reading your book.

And it's like, this is a pretty pretty crazy story.

You've never talked about it.

How, I can't believe you fired a gun in school.

You're, you're, you, you went through law enforcement.

You're the mayor.

Like, that's a big thing, right?

His answer, I never fired a gun in school.

Now, I just read you the story about him firing a gun in school.

So you think

he's fired a gun in school.

Now,

what happened then became even more bizarre because the reporter went back to him and was saying, hey,

you did say that you fired a gun in school.

It's in your book from 2009.

Adam's answer to that was, that book was never released.

Now,

first of all, how would even if it wasn't released, it was just a manuscript or something, it would be weird that the story would get in there, right, without him because he was the kid involved in the story, but okay.

That's when when he said, hey, that book was never released, that's when the reporter took the book out and showed it to him because he had just ordered it from amazon oh that's so great so the book apparently did get released eric adams claims he didn't know a book from 15 years ago was released he went through 15 years without knowing the book ever came out then his secondary backup to the question was well

It must have been misinterpreted by my co-author, right?

Like, so my co-author writes the story.

He hears, I tell the story, he misunderstands it.

He miswrites it.

I didn't even know it came out, so I never corrected it.

Could be plausible, maybe.

In theory?

I don't know if it's plausible.

I guess it's possible in a weird way.

One weird problem with that, though.

Yeah.

He didn't have a co-author.

He didn't have a co-author.

Okay.

There's no co-author on the book.

Oh, my God.

Now he's backed off to, well, it was a ghost writer on the book.

Not a co-author, but a ghost writer.

And the ghost writer must have been the one who did it.

And then the book company also released it without me knowing about it for 15 years.

And that's how the story got in the book.

So when you said how many books has he's written, we really don't know the answer to that.

Neither does he.

And he doesn't either.

All right.

Triple 8, 727 back.

More coming up.

Incredible.

Here's the cold, hard truth.

First of all, we don't know how many books Eric Adams has written.

But another cold, hard truth is that car repairs are coming your way.

They're not going to be cheap.

And there's not much you can do about it.

They're coming no matter what.

These days, a car mechanic will practically charge you just to take a picture of your car.

So you have to factor that into your life and your budget.

You just have no other choice.

But what if you had a way to protect your wallet?

What if you could budget this and make it make sense for your future?

Well, that's Car Shield.

You get to lock in your price for car repairs and that price never goes up.

Glenn is, you know,

these poor people at Car Shield.

Glenn, all the cars cars he has, they're all, he likes older cars sometimes.

They're all breaking down half the time.

He's, you know, charged thousands of dollars of repairs to the fine people at Car Shield.

Car Shield offers protection plans for around $100 a month, and they cover more parts than ever before, from alternators to big ticket items like your transmission.

Whether your car has 5,000, 150,000 miles, Car Shield's got a plan for you.

This year, you can choose coverage through Car Shield.

10 seconds, station ID.

I mean,

these politicians and their stories, how do they think they're going to get away with it?

It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

You got Eric Adams talking about stories that didn't happen, writing them in books, and then claiming not to have written the book, and then somebody shows him the book.

Well, it wasn't released, and then he obviously bought it on Amazon.

Incredible.

How do you think you're going to get away?

Well, because Biden gets away with it all the time.

All the time.

All the time.

He's oddly immune from this.

He is.

You know, he tells that train story all the time.

He traveled 2 million miles on a train, and it was the train conductor, Angelo, who told him that

years after he had died.

First of all, he retired 30 years prior to the story taking place.

And then on top of it, he died before this story could have taken place.

And Biden continues to tell that train story to this day.

And

we pointed this out briefly, but this has actually been a situation where the mainstream media, the New York Times, the Washington Post,

have actually done their job.

They have called out and said, this story cannot be true.

Not only is it a true, it can't possibly be true.

The guy was dead.

And it's not Fox News.

Telling

the fact check on this.

And he still continues to tell the story.

Even after he's been fact-checked seven and eight times by these organizations.

He just did the oil on the windshield.

He's got an oil slick when he was his mom would drive him to school in the morning in Delaware.

Delaware.

We're not talking Houston, Texas here.

Delaware, where the refineries, I guess, spewed such oil pollution that he'd have an oil slick on his windshield every morning driving to school, and his mom would have to run the windshield wipers to get the oil slick off the windshield.

Like, what?

I lived near

an oil refinery and never once had oil on my windshield in Houston.

I'd love to hear from people who live next to the refinery right next to it.

And tell me about the oil slick on your windshield.

It's ridiculous.

Pat, I lived inside a refinery for 50 years.

You did?

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

And at the time.

You're not even 50 years old.

That is incredible.

At the time, I was a vegan.

Oh, okay.

And I wrote a book about it in which I shot

a gun at children in school.

Oh, at school.

Not in the refinery.

The refinery

was also a large school.

The kids were placed

to work at slave labor to refine the oil.

That's what big oil is doing right now.

Holy cow.

So there were still slaves.

All this, by the way,

I should point this out.

The entire refinery, mobile, it's on a train.

Oh, wow.

I wrote it every day for 48 years

in Delaware.

That's incredible.

All right, we were just dealing with this patent stupid today.

We were just dealing with the immigration situation a little bit, talking about that.

I like this too.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Naurkis has just admitted this week that immigration authorities release

over 85%

of the illegals they detain.

Now, I mean, I think we understand that just about everybody who's detained is just released, given a date, sometime in the future.

Sometimes it's, you know, 2027, sometimes it's 2032.

It's been as late as 2035.

Okay,

at the time, 12 years down the road, you've made them pinky promise to show up to court.

Are they not U.S.

citizens by then?

Or they're just, what, hanging hanging out, not working,

not living here, not stealing identities from people, not committing tax evasion all that time?

Yeah, it's fine.

It's fine, it's totally fine.

I can't believe you're not.

They're not even opposing it.

Yeah, it's just xenophobic to oppose it.

So I don't want to make it sound like I'm opposing it because I think it's great.

Kim, can we take a trip?

Do you have a

computer bag over there?

In there, do you have a flex capacitor?

Could you grab, if you happen to have

any

time travel device?

Because I'd like to go ahead forward to 2035.

Oh, okay, wow.

I saw you had a whole harp.

Well, that's a giant harp.

You just carry that around with you?

Every once in a while, yeah.

Wow.

I thought it might be

handy today.

Yeah, it's about 150 pounds.

Holy crap.

You guys have that around up my back.

Massive.

That's why my back is in such good shape right now.

I'm just getting it stronger carrying around the harp.

I would think maybe it was part of the back problems.

Oh, really?

Yeah, maybe.

I mean, I guess you could look at it that way.

I thought I was strengthening my back.

Yeah, you've been carrying around a harp that's 150 pounds all these years.

Tell me that might have been a problem.

But now that we're in the future, and by the way, the year we've chosen is 2035.

2035, we're waiting outside of court, waiting for our friend

Bob the illegal immigrant.

Bob the illegal immigrant.

Bob the illegal immigrant.

You know, he's been

very busy over the past

20 years.

11, 12 years.

Yeah.

And he's been just looking around, doing all of his things.

And now he's going to show up at court.

He's come back to Texas, too, to show up and live there.

He took a bus to New York years and years ago, but he's come back.

He's come back.

He's a business owner.

He promised he would, and so now he is.

He is.

And he cares very deeply about our laws.

Came in on his own.

Which is why he took the time to break into our country illegally in the first place.

In the first place, right.

So now he's taken his Learjet back to.

Because this is a land of promise.

And when you're here illegally with no documentation, you make a lot of money.

Yep.

A lot of money.

He's doing really well.

Doing really well.

So he was in, he is, he lives now in Long Island on a mansion.

Yeah.

In a mansion in Long Island.

And he took a Learjet back to Texas to show up for us.

Obviously, because it was scheduled.

Obviously.

It was on his schedule.

He put it in his Apple calendar, iCal.

And now it popped up.

He's like, oh my gosh, tomorrow's the day I need to go to Texas for that big court appointment for my asylum claim or whatever.

So he called the president of the, he's CEO of his own company.

He called the president and said, I won't be there today.

No, unlike Lloyd Austin, he told the people around him he was going to be out.

He was going to be out of work.

Well, he's an important businessman.

Right, exactly.

So he comes down for this appointment and

he, let's say he loses his case.

Oh, no, that'd be a shame.

That'd be terrible.

He has to go back to his successful and he's done so well here.

And Bob, by the way, was from

Guatemala.

Okay.

And Bob was going to have to go back to Guatemala.

What do you think the left says about Bob?

They say he has been here

12 years.

And he has become a successful businessman, part of the community.

That's exactly it.

His children, all they've ever known.

His children have been born here.

He's got seven children now, all born in the United States, and you're making him go back to Guatemala.

All they've ever known is America.

Right.

And you're making them go back to Guatemala,

which is still ravaged by war and economic despair and gangs and whatever else we can say about Guatemala.

And it's like, this is how it happens.

You give a court date seven years in advance.

They live here for seven years, and then they tell you you can't kick him out.

He's been here for seven years.

We didn't tell him he should come to court in seven years.

That was you.

Exactly.

We thought he should leave then.

We thought he should have left.

You know what would be great for the world?

Maybe if Guatemala kept their great businessmen and they grew businesses in Guatemala.

Yeah.

Let

make Guatemala great again.

Stop trying to make us that great.

Just do this in your homeland.

Your country needs you.

If these people are so wonderful, their country needs them or it's never going to get corrected exactly but no we're supposed to select every single person who comes across the border and and pat like when we first started talking about this a lot of the discussion was about a wall a lot of the discussion was about um how do we secure the border and look of course those things are important but no longer are we in a place where people are even trying to sneak across the border there's no reason to they present themselves to border patrol immediately intentionally immediately because they know they're going to be given a free meal and they're going to be escorted directly to some sort of housing and they're going to say i come from guatemala my name is bob yeah and and guatemala is a bad place and i need asylum in your great country not in the 12 other countries i crossed to get here yeah and they will say okay well come back to court and we'll hear that asylum claim in 2035

and then 2035 comes and they say well first of all they probably don't show up at all but if they do they say well you know what he's been here too long how can we possibly kick him out we just recently had that stat, too.

About 95%

do not show up for their court date.

Just the 95%.

Just 5%.

Bob did.

Bob said.

Almost solid, because I think it's 95.4% or something.

So about

96% show up for their court date.

Well, a big problem is 95.4% don't have their own Learjet.

Yeah.

You know, if we just gave illegal immigrants each one Learjet, just one.

Well, we give them a cell phone.

Might as well give them the Learjet, too.

Then they can come back for the appointments.

That's just an idea.

I'm sure they would if it weren't for the global warming pop problem that that would create.

If every

3.2 million come across the board, all Learjets.

Electric yellow buses that Kamala loves.

Yes.

She loves school buses, Pat.

She freaking loves them.

All she does is dream all day about Venn diagrams and school buses.

And they're electric.

It gets her very excited.

You know, there was a time when even Democrats understood this was a problem.

I played on Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can hear every day right before this show.

But I played this morning

a really long speech

from Joe Biden.

I don't know.

It was a town hall type thing.

I don't know if he was campaigning in 2007 because he didn't run, did he?

Did he run for president in 2008?

Yeah.

Maybe he did.

He dropped out early.

Didn't work, Pat.

No,

it did not work.

But he was explaining the border crisis, which was a crisis then, where, gosh, like hundreds of a hundred thousand or several hundred thousand people had crossed the border illegally that year.

Wow, in one year?

In one year, it was like 300,000.

That's a lot in one year.

302,000 crossed the border illegally in December.

302,000.

Gosh.

3.2 million last year.

I mean, but they understood it was a problem then.

How did this get to this point where the same people don't think it's a problem at all now?

It's really amazing.

It's amazing.

Really amazing.

If you go back,

you know, look, 2007 isn't that recent anymore.

17 years ago.

17 years ago.

But that was, if you think in political cycles, that was his run, which led to him being named vice president.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

And he was named vice president obviously in the 2008 election and became vice president in 2007.

Isn't that a cycle where he called Barack Obama the sort of

clean, articulate black man that only happens in storybooks.

Right.

And for that, he's made vice president.

He's a vice president.

Ten

clean African-American.

The reporting after the Obama administration was that the only reason he chose Joe Biden was because he was white.

He believed...

Now, there was a secondary reason was that he believed his two weaknesses was, number one, some foreign policy weakness.

He had never obviously been involved.

And Joe Biden was seen as some sort of foreign policy expert

by a whom, I don't know, but he wanted to have an elder statesman, right?

Someone who had been around and done this stuff for a long time.

And he got the elder party.

But the more important reason was people won't vote for a guy named Barack Obama because he's got dark skin and his name sounds funny.

So we need to have an old white guy in here that will make all the racists out there comfortable enough to vote for Barack Obama.

And how many times did Obama say that?

That people had a problem voting for a guy with a weird last name.

It's a funny name.

Nobody had any problem with that because we are so diverse and so open

and so not racist, we didn't care.

He even shared a name with one of our biggest enemies and he was one letter away from the biggest terrorist on the planet.

Yeah.

And we're like, sure.

And we're like, okay, yeah, make him president.

I mean, we have,

it is amazing

that that actually happened.

And then we don't, we don't get any credit for that.

We're racist douchebags.

It's worse than ever.

And it's worse than ever.

It's worse than ever.

And this is the circle of grift, right?

Like, you say, hey, we got a real problem.

Well,

is it getting better?

No, it's getting much, much worse.

It's always getting worse.

What do we do about it?

Well, we got to vote for Democrats.

Why?

Well, because of racism.

Well, what's happening with the racism?

It's getting worse.

It's always getting worse.

And you always have the only solution is always to vote for Democrats.

Yeah.

It's the only way you can solve it.

And of course, that does not solve it.

Fortunately, I think a lot of people are waking up to that cycle, that vicious cycle of the Democrat Party and how bad that has been for minorities.

It hasn't hurt clearly.

Let's go to Tanya in Colorado.

Tanya, hi, you're on the Glim Beck program with Patton Stew.

Hi.

Hey.

How are you this morning?

Very well.

Thank you.

How are you?

Good.

I'm a first-time caller, and I have a master's degree from the University of Denver.

I speak Spanish fluently, Hindi,

beginner, and I'm an unemployed medical rep who's been in the gig economy and done over 4,000 deliveries in the last year and a half.

Wow.

So it's very painful.

4,000 deliveries?

Wow.

Yes.

And our top-rated DoorDash Uber Eats driver.

And I was just talking to your

manager about the fact that

it is a huge problem.

And

these people who have come here, the migrants, and by the way, I'm married to an Indian who had to wait two years to come to America the legal way.

And

what we're seeing is that as DoorDashers, as we American DoorDashers who are in between jobs or bridging jobs or just low-income, maybe single-mother parents who are trying to do this as a living, you can't even get on the platforms anymore because everyone that's on the platform is from South America.

Not even Mexico.

They stopped coming.

It's all South Americans.

And they shove a phone in the restaurant's face because they don't speak even any English.

I've seen that happen.

Yeah, they expect to be helped.

And

we can't even get on the apps anymore because they're now like, by the way,

even the ones that are legal are not legal.

They don't have work permits.

So they're actually renting accounts with people with real Social Security numbers, maybe even cars.

We are hearing that

they're paying $150 every two weeks for someone else's account.

What are the tax ramifications on this?

Who are these identities?

They're parking in handicapped spots because they're not realizing that's important.

And the other day, I was talking to one of my friends who's a single mom, and they're carrying two phones.

So they not only have one account, they have two accounts, and people are wondering why their food's not getting to them properly.

And the companies are aware of this.

There are articles in New York about this that I've read.

And like

they're lowering the base pay because these people will take upside-down orders, like 10 miles for $5.

You just can't afford that.

And even people,

if people are trying to bridge the inflation kind of gap, so say they have a regular job and, as we know, food's gone up 20%, crazy amounts, and they take a second job to support their family, they can't even use this as a platform anymore.

Amazing.

Tanya, we should actually

go into what they're trying to do with the gig economy in Washington right now.

They're trying to pass new laws to make them employees, and it would be a catastrophe for this entire industry.

But I do have one question before we let you go, Tanya.

Have you ever snagged a french fry?

No.

Okay.

No.

No.

Not a 4,000 order.

4,000 orders.

Not one French fry right in your mouth.

No, but occasionally an order gets canceled and you get to keep the whole order.

All right.

All right.

That's good.

At least I get that bad.

All right.

Tanya, appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

I don't know.

I feel like sometimes the french fries come light.

I'm just going to say it.

I mean, I think sometimes they come light.

Just like the rest of us, dogs need a good dose of of nutrition in the food they eat in order to lead a happy and healthy life.

They can't get DoorDash.

They can't dial phones.

Very difficult for dogs with paws to dial phones, Pat.

Wow.

That's right.

They can't click the right button on the order.

I haven't done anything about that.

There is a new act coming out of Washington, the Opposable Thumbs for Dogs Act.

We'll get into that maybe in a future episode.

But let me tell you about rough greens because you can actually, I don't know, maybe get the nutrition that you want to get for your dog, the healthy stuff.

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

Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog food.

And remember, brown food is dead food.

You want the greens, you name it.

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

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

They have a special deal for you.

Go to roughgreens.com/slashbeck or call 833-Glenn33.

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

I mean, all you have to do is pay shipping.

So, a free bag, why not give it a shot?
