All right, so Pat and Stewan here for Glenn.

We're going to get this here in just a second.

Let me tell you about Grip 6.

You work hard for the money you earn.

And if you're like me, you like when you go out and you spend that money with companies that don't hate your guts, maybe don't despise the country you live in.

I don't know.

They're crazy ideas like that.

Maybe it's a patriotism thing.

Maybe it's a quality thing.

Maybe it's a sanity thing.

But traditionally, there are things that have been made here in America that last longer, they work better.

They set the standard for the rest of the world.

And that's one of the the reasons I love partnering with companies like Grip Six.

You're talking about a true American experience.

These are products you can count on.

They're made here.

They are great.

They have great socks and wallets and

they've got all sorts of stuff, but it's all made right here in the United States with U.S.

sourced materials.

These are really something, these are people you're going to want to get to know and a company you're going to want to get to know.

American-made products from American labor.

Check out Grip Six today.

You'll love them.

Grip the number six.com slash Beck.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together.

It's a course of life.

Stand up, sit, and hold the light.

It's a new day, I'm tired to rise.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie.

Cocaine at the White House.

Was it Hunter Biden's?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe.

I think that looks a little more likely than it did yesterday at this time.

We'll get into that and much more with Patton Stew for Glenn today coming up in 50 seconds.

How dare you besmirch the name of Hunter Biden?

I apologize.

We'll get into that nonsense in a moment, but I want to tell you about a woman named Natalie.

She and her husband have four children, all of whom they fostered to adoption

over the years through various circumstances.

They reached out, they made these children a part of their family, all while running two businesses.

She's a listener to the show, so sub Natalie, how are you?

It sounds like she's doing a pretty good job at life, and that means she's probably doing a good job at her actual job, too.

Her job is a real estate agent, and how do we know that?

Well, she works with realestateagents I trust.com.

The fact is, she's a great, one of the thousands of great real estate agents across across the country that work with realestate agentsitrust.com.

Wherever you're going in the country, if you're moving to a new place, you don't have a real estate agent, go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

If you're selling your home, you want the best price for it.

You want someone who knows the market and has the best results, realestate agentsitrust.com.

The name kind of says it all.

Go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

This is a company Glenn started years ago.

It's a free service to you.

Buying or selling a home, go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

Okay, so they found

they found some cocaine at the White House.

Kind of a big deal, I guess.

You know, sure.

You know, some people would say that.

Depending on who is doing the cocaine at the White House.

You know, and first we were told, oh, I was in the library.

It's a place where they do the tours.

And so, you know, they kind of led us to believe, oh, that could have been anybody.

Right.

Because anybody can go on the tour.

Yeah, like I took a tour of the White House when I was a little kid.

Maybe I brought my cocaine.

Maybe.

Yeah.

It's probably some seven, eight-year-old with his, with his Coke.

I mean, how many times have we seen that?

Thousands.

If not more.

More.

Maybe more.

Maybe more.

I don't want to undersell it.

Then it turns out, no, it was in the West Wing.

In a working area of the West Wing.

Well,

former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said yesterday that it's very likely.

that it came from somebody in the family because everybody else is checked on the way into the White House.

And it's kind of hard to smuggle Coke into the White House when you're being checked like that.

And so the family gets to avoid that.

Obviously, they don't go through the security measures that everybody else does.

And so

it's more likely, apparently, that a family member

was in possession of that cocaine and then left it somewhere.

I mean, is there a history of anybody in the Biden family leaving things around for others to find?

Like, you know, I don't know, computers, that kind of thing.

I'm sure there's no evidence of that.

No, I can't think of.

I wish I could.

I wish I could, but I can't really think of anything.

And of course, this is, you know, Hunter Biden,

who, if you had an idea of somebody who might do something like this,

it would be Hunter.

And not only did he leave the laptop famously at the

computer repair shop

with all of this material on it, many evidences of him doing hundreds of crimes, reportedly.

Um, he also, one of the big incidents from his younger days was he was, had a rental car and he returned the rental car, I believe it was to Hurts, with cocaine lines on the dashboard.

Jeez.

Oh my gosh.

He left the cocaine in the car.

So when they picked, they're like, um, sir, this appears to maybe be a little cocaine.

Um, and, you know, I don't know if Hertz was particularly appreciative of

that move,

but it's just one of the things he's done over the years.

It certainly seems like...

He's so careless.

This could be him.

Again,

it could be.

Just leaving Coke laying around.

Now, at first, I thought, that's likely not him.

You know, everybody wants to jump to that conclusion.

Yes, it was certainly my first thought, to be honest.

But I thought, eh, probably not.

But maybe.

I will say that is.

He's careless enough to do it.

What you just described is the exact same thought process I went through when the laptop came out.

I remember thinking to myself, look, I would love this to be true, that all of a sudden we're going to probably

isn't.

Probably not.

It turns out he did.

And he did.

And so you can't put it past Hunter Biden.

I mean, look, drugs are pretty serious business.

This is why we say, kids, give it up by not taking it up.

Don't get involved in hardcore drug use.

This is your message from the Glenn Beck program.

Just Just say no.

Just say, you know,

it's a good idea.

Stay away from the hard drugs.

Any drugs you can think of.

It's probably not a good idea.

And

you get into this stuff.

It's not easy to just reverse and all of a sudden now I'm okay.

I'm just a painter.

Right.

You know, that's not the way that works.

It's usually very difficult to do, especially when you're in the middle of these high-stakes games, which they are playing.

You know, there are, there is so much evidence that the Biden family was involved in all sorts of borderline or over-the-line criminal activities when it comes to money and

foreign business deals.

And I don't know,

possibly serial killing.

I don't know.

At this point, who would have put anything past any of them?

I don't have any evidence, the serial killing one, but it does seem like at some point we might say, hey, by the way, there's a little evidence that maybe Hunter Biden murdered a tribe in Madagascar.

You're like, like, wait a minute, what?

Would you be that surprised?

I really wouldn't.

At this point, I wouldn't.

Madagascar might surprise me.

I'd probably travel.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's hard.

American Samoa would be more.

More, yeah, more common.

More reasonable.

But it is, we are at that point where anything can happen.

And it's look, it, I mean, I've fortunately never gone down any of these roads.

I know you haven't either, Pat.

We are our glorious

host of this program, Mr.

Glenn Beck, has fought some of these demons, and it's not easy.

No, it's a really, really, it's a long, lifelong struggle once you get into this game.

And if you want to try to reverse a cocaine addiction or any of these other drugs, it is, it can be really difficult.

And you fall back

into these worlds over and over and over again.

And this is not a guy who's honest.

It's not a guy who seems to have any principles.

It doesn't seem to have any moral foundation whatsoever.

It's been a, it's a guy who is in the middle of

abandoning his most recent child.

yeah right like this is a dad doesn't even won't even acknowledge his dad won't even acknowledge that he has a grandchild this is a terrible human being yeah i mean when you talk about

you have a range of people that human society can produce this guy's on the very low end of it so the idea that it might very well be his cocaine you would think would be shocking for any normal human being, but he is not a normal human being.

Under Biden, and honestly, the entire family seems to be in this, some version of this.

But these are not good people.

And it would not be at all surprising if it was one of the family members who did this.

But think about

how risky it would be as a normal person to walk into the White House and just bring cocaine, not do it in the White House, but just bring it with you on a tour.

I mean, it's insanity.

Stupid.

It's insanity.

Nobody would do this.

Now, a heavy drug user, you could say, hey, maybe a heavy drug user brings it in his pocket and forgets it, right?

Like something like that could happen, right?

We've seen this happen with people who might use firearms.

But what are you doing?

Taking it out and laying it down somewhere.

What are you doing?

Insanity that you'd leave it out somewhere.

Crazy.

It's just impossible.

Yeah.

Unless, number one, you're trying, someone could be trying to troll the White House.

I mean, it's possible.

Okay.

Somebody's trying to, it's possible.

I don't know how.

It would be so risky for that purpose, though, right?

Yeah.

You know, just because because if you get caught with cocaine, you're going to get in trouble.

You could get caught with cocaine in the White House.

I mean, what is the penalty for that if you're not a family member?

I mean, you're going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if you're trying to troll the White House.

So, I mean, the overwhelming most likely possibility is that this was a family member or some.

affiliated, a closely affiliated person in the White House.

And they keep making this big noise about how they were there.

They weren't there.

And man, does it sound fake?

Doesn't it?

I'm not saying they were there.

I'm saying if let's just say this went down, what would you do?

You'd, number one, make sure he was out of town before you announced it, before you quote unquote found it,

right?

Or, you know, they keep saying, oh, well, we check all the time.

Well, it got in there somehow.

So even if you checked 24 hours after Hunter Biden left the premises, is that really

something we should be excited about?

There's no way

they're checking as closely as they say they are if the cocaine got in there in the first place.

Yeah, I know.

And it's easy to imagine that he put it down somewhere and then realized later on that he put it down somewhere and he couldn't remember where.

Yeah.

And so, like it's like, you know, it's a 55,000 square foot home,

so it could be in a lot of different places and you could easily not be able to find it.

And somebody else could.

And then, of course, you're at Camp David when it's found, so you had nothing to to do with it.

Right.

Oh, make sure it's found when he's not there, right?

Boys and girls, that's how this works.

Certainly, every one of these stories

you have to be skeptical of now.

I mean, they have shown no propensity to give you any truthful information about this family,

including the fact that they can't even acknowledge their own grandchildren.

And it's just, it's despicable.

It is a despicable group of people.

I don't say that

lightly.

I think

you would say, I'd like to believe the best about the president.

I would.

I mean, even though I think he's a terrible president and he's doing a bad job as president, I don't want to think of him as a bad guy if I can help it.

It does seem like this is just a bad group of people that do a lot of things that the average person you know would not do.

White House spokesperson was asked about the grandchildren yesterday.

Do we have that?

I'm having a connection issue there.

Yeah, we do have a.

We'll have to.

She was asked about it.

Come back to that.

She was asked about it.

All she does is just her stupid read, you know, she reads the answer.

And she.

And it was, I think.

There was a story in the New York Times over the weekend about Hunter Biden's daughter in Arkansas.

Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter?

I just don't have anything to share from here.

Okay, so we got nothing to share from here.

We're not going to acknowledge it in any way, shape, or form that there is a grandchild in Arkansas.

We're not even going to mention it.

We're not going to legitimize it.

We're not going to talk to you guys about it.

We're not answering any questions about her.

Repulsive.

It's despicable.

It's really despicable.

It's not this girl.

It's not this girl's fault.

No.

This little girl's not.

It is not her fault.

She didn't do anything wrong.

She didn't make Hunter Biden screw a stripper.

That was not her fault.

Oh, it wasn't.

It really, you know.

That was beautifully put.

But it's the way you should think about it.

You know,

I really think this is something that I think is vitally important when we think about life.

When we're talking about the issue of life, which is the circumstances of your conception do not equal the value of your life.

Right.

It had what how whatever crazy act happened in some, you know, Alabama or Arkansas hotel

has nothing to do with the value of this little girl.

She is as valuable as someone who is conceived in the most beautiful of ways with all romantic music and candlelight on

a honeymoon.

It is, it is, there's no difference in the value of that life and they will not even acknowledge that this grandchild exists yep it's disgusting and and he's been asked about it several times uh joe has been asked about his grandchildren and how many he has and he will not acknowledge that there's at least six right i think it's seven it would be is it seven she's the seven she's the seven okay so they're saying six and they and the reporter said five to the kids that were asking him so he doesn't even know

He didn't even know about the legitimate ones, let alone the illegitimate one.

I believe it's seven now with the illegitimate one.

But apparently, that's been the case in the White House.

That when aides talk about this, they are told to say there are six grandchildren in private conversations because they don't want to even acknowledge this poor little girl who had no, she had no involvement.

It was not her fault.

She didn't do anything wrong.

Nope.

You know, they, they, one of the con one of the um

uh

parts of the legal ruling that went down, the agreement between Hunter and this woman, was that she could not use the Biden name.

They didn't even want to.

They prohibited her from using her own last name.

This is how, these are, as I, did I say this?

terrible human beings.

Terrible.

Outside of their politics, outside of the job they're doing to ruin your country, bad people.

And then they tried to make that as if they tried to spin it

as if that's for her own good.

We don't want her to have to carry that baggage.

Oh, BS.

They don't believe that.

You can't.

No, they do not.

The Biden family name is gold to these people.

Oh, yeah.

They think they're the Kennedys.

Yeah.

You know, they do.

They think they are.

They are an American icon.

That's how the Bidens think of themselves.

They think of themselves as an important family.

As a royal family.

As a royal family.

As a America.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And somehow we let them inside this White House, which they're turning apparently more white by the day.

There's powder everywhere.

Triple 8727BECK more in one minute.

Mike Lindell has specialized for years in creating the best pillows you've ever laid your head down on.

And when I tried MySlippers, I will say Glenn told me about these multiple times.

And Glenn tells me things all the time, and I ignore most of them.

Including how great the MySlippers were, because I was like, you know, I mean, he's talked about my pillow forever.

They're probably good slippers, but whatever.

I will say, when you get a pair of my slippers, you do notice the difference.

You put your hands or your feet, I put my hands in them because I was like, what do these things feel like inside?

They're so soft.

They're so cushiony.

And they are really like, I've never had slippers like this.

They're incredible.

Country's on fire and wearing slippers.

Makes sense.

Yeah, yeah.

At some point, you got to draw a line.

Yeah.

And when the country gets on fire, you're wearing slippers to work.

That's how this works.

It's better than bringing cocaine to work.

Well, probably.

I know.

Probably.

Yeah.

Speaking of the cocaine, Joe Biden was asked about the cocaine at the White House yesterday when he was

sitting there,

and reporters are screaming these questions at him, and here's what happened.

As always, he sits there with that stupid look on his face.

He won't answer that question, of course.

He, you know, he knows it's Hunters and he just won't, he won't admit it.

Speaking of which, Hunter was caught wiping his nose a little bit as if maybe he had just done a rail or two at a White House get together.

Watch this.

This is interesting.

Yep.

He's wiping.

Oh,

let me take care of that powdery substance above my.

There we go.

Okay.

I mean, look, does that not look like he might be guilty?

And look, it sounds insane, right?

That he would actually do this, especially in an event like this that was

focused on quite a bit.

People are like, you're bringing Hunter Biden to a state dinner.

Like, what?

But, like, think about this from Hunter Biden's perspective.

And maybe you're not getting this from conservative media today, but I want you to think about this for one moment from Hunter Biden's perspective.

His entire life is about elevating the risk and the high, right?

His entire life has been, how do I go farther?

How do I push the envelope further?

How do I do this crazy thing that no one else would do?

How do I get the 11th hooker into the apartment tonight?

Doing cocaine in the White House would be a massive high.

Like it would be the most exciting thing if you were a drug user that you could ever do.

Everyone's got their eyes on me.

I'm going to go do it anyway.

I'm going to do it in the White House.

I don't care what my dad says.

Right.

Like that is completely in line with who this guy is.

I don't know if it'll turn out that he was doing cocaine in the White House.

I don't know.

I will be surprised if he's never done it in reality, but will we catch him?

I don't know.

But I will say, this is exactly the type of thing he would do.

It is.

For the reason that it's risky.

You don't put parts of your body into that many people if you don't want risk.

This is the Hunter Biden way.

Well, look how much he filmed himself naked.

Yeah.

I mean, all the time.

That's why we know he was snorting Coke off the the bellies of hookers because it's filmed.

And the only reason we have so much evidence about the stuff that he did is because he was acting so erratically.

Like, these texts that were going back and forth are not the texts of a person trying to cover up a crime.

Yeah.

They're the standard.

messages that an insane person who wanted to get caught would send.

And then that is part of the self-destructive behavior around drug use.

He's constantly putting him in his situations of elevated risk.

And that's the only thing that makes him feel alive.

That's the Hunter Biden way.

And you would think with his dad being president of the United States, he might conduct

himself a little bit differently.

But he doesn't think like that.

Like you mentioned, he thinks the opposite.

Yeah.

He wants the risk.

He wants the high.

He likes it.

They talk about this all the time.

When you get into these activities, all you can do is escalate, right?

The old thing that you did, the four prostitutes in a hotel room, what is that going to do for you if you're Hunter Biden?

You've done it a hundred times on video.

So why not go the next step?

And this is the, there is, I think, significant evidence that he likes to kind of go after his dad a little bit and make his life a little miserable.

He feels like he's had, you know, been fairly or not, you know, been, he's had to give him too much money from all of these dealings.

There's evidence of that in the text.

I mean, I don't know, man.

I don't think, I don't think it's crazy at all to think that this is a good thing.

There's some resentment there, it seems.

Yep.

Hey, it's Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

Stu, I know you're a huge Jill Scott fan.

And

I mean, I hate to say that, you know, because it's a relative term.

A huge as compared to what, right?

You know, it's not.

A huge as compared to something not huge.

Right.

But I mean, you know, a breadbasket, a nuclear explosion.

What are we comparing it to?

I would just say,

who's Jill Scott?

Would be another question I would have.

It is?

Yeah.

So that would be.

Despite your huge fandom.

Right.

Well, you know it.

You can still ask that question.

Yes.

Like, who is this?

Is this a real person?

Like, for example,

a person who exists in America today.

Is someone of some sort of notoriety in some way?

R ⁇ B singer that

performed the national anthem at the Essence Festival.

I know you frequent the Essence Festival.

The problem is...

The Essence Festival a lot in New Orleans.

The luxury box we have is on the other side of the facility, so we can't see that main stage all that well.

The luxury box faces the opposite direction?

Look,

I didn't design the freaking festival.

That just seems counterproductive.

Yeah.

Well,

because you can get those luxury boxes that have great views of the event, and then you have the ones that are more for like, you know, and cost a little bit less.

Yeah, they cut.

Well, no, a lot of times they're more private.

They're away from all the riffraff.

Yeah.

You know, and I'm, look, I've been to the Essence Festival every year for the past 25 years.

So I've done it.

That's why I'm asking you about it.

I've been in the mosh pitch.

I'm a big fan.

Yeah.

You know, and the Essence Festival mosh pit.

Yes.

Many times I've been down there, and that's a lot of fun.

But you get to a point where, yes, you still want to be part of the event.

You know, you want to make sure you you see your Jill Scott

perform the national anthem or whatever.

You particular year.

Or whatever.

Or whatever.

Whatever it was she did.

But then you also want to have a place to retreat.

Maybe have a nice glass of wine.

Yeah.

Sit back, relax a little bit, away from all of the real action.

And that's what happens when your luxury box faces the opposite direction of the field, right?

So that's good.

Look, again, I did not design the festival.

No, right.

I know.

Makes perfect sense.

I've had my problems with the way they've designed the staging.

And I've made that very clear to the people at the Essence Festival.

And that is a bit of a.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned it to us.

Because it seems like that might be a point of contention that you might make to others as well.

But I guess not.

I don't want to seem too highfalutin.

You know what I mean?

Look, I've got a luxury box at the Essence Festival.

That's the kind of life I'm living.

Right.

And I don't want to brag about it.

I didn't want to bring it up.

I tried to even deny I was a huge Jill Scott fan

or James, Jamie's.

No, it's Jill Scott.

You were right, of course.

And just to show you what you missed, because your luxury box faced the opposite direction.

She made up her own version of the Nash Lamp.

Oh, good.

Yeah, she works out well usually.

Had some other words in there.

Oh, yeah, I do remember hearing this.

Yeah, it's good.

Out of the back of the luxury box.

By the blood

in the streets,

by the blood in the streets, right?

Okay,

that this place

doesn't

smile

on you,

on you,

colored child,

beautiful, powerful,

powerful, or what?

I know.

Whose blood built this land?

Built this land.

The land isn't built, really.

No, just, you know, are there

God

with sweat

and their hands.

So the hands were very slippery after an incident.

Well, blood all over them.

Yeah, blood and sweat.

But you'll die

in this place.

You don't have to, you can move.

And your memory.

Erased.

Your memory erased?

Did you think about these lyrics?

When did Chat GPT come up with these?

Oh, say.

Does this truth

hold

any weight?

No.

No, no, it doesn't.

No matter how many notes you have to hit, it does not hold any weight, but weight is an important thing to watch.

I will point that out.

In the land

of the free.

It's not the land of the free, she says.

But the home

of the

slave.

Wow, that was powerful.

Wasn't it beautiful?

That is the type of thing that really needs the Adam Sandler, Billy Madison treatment.

You know,

everyone who's heard this has become dumber for listening to it.

You are awarded no points.

May God have mercies on our soul.

Like, that is the type of reaction that deserves.

That is so stupid.

You know, again,

there are 194 countries.

Yeah, go find one.

Go find one.

You don't need to die here.

Go find one.

Go find one to go die in in another place where you'll probably die 25 years earlier because they don't have any medicine or you're murdered in the streets by some horrible riot because the government's been overthrown.

Go experience the wonders of the Uyghur death camps.

You'll love it.

I'm sure.

I'm sure it's a wonderful thing.

And there, if you sing that song,

it will not be long until you have to wait for that treatment.

Because there, they will not respect your right to be a complete idiot.

It's not that the really most salient point about this, any other nation on earth, practically, you might be in jail after singing that song by Russia, sir.

Many other, not any other, but many other nations.

She doesn't have that kind of oppression here.

She's got the kind of oppression where she's worth $12 million.

For what?

That's the kind of slave that she is.

She's only worth

$12 million.

You know, maybe her memory was erased about what slavery was because it wasn't eight figures of wealth.

That I will tell you.

That is not what the process was.

I just, this idea that you just,

this is just like the tough guy attitude, right?

Like, I need to come out and I'm going to say these things and I'll show them.

Show us what.

Stop it.

You're just lying.

You're just a big fat liar.

Literally.

That was what I was going for.

Yes, literally.

And it is.

It's an embarrassment.

It really is.

Especially that the crowd is cheering it.

And I said that to the other people in my luxury box.

I was was like, look, I don't think this is the right thing to cheer.

You did.

Even though we happen to be facing the other way.

You know, look, our luxury box is not actually pointed at the stage.

But you heard that.

Those were not the lyrics to the national anthem.

And I tried to make that clear to everyone in my luxury box.

Did the people in your luxury box understand that?

Did they get that concept?

They didn't seem to be as big of Jill Scott fans as I am.

I was a little disappointed.

It's like, you're going to come to the Essence Festival and stay in my luxury box.

I expect you to be a bigger jill scott fan for sure you know and have heard of her for example yeah you know but a lot of them hadn't even though she's worth 12 million dollars

that's weird look it's one of the great things about this country is people who are as idiotic as this woman can still make 12 million dollars and i guess that's a right that's something you can say you know because there was a time where no one had it no one had wealth like that maybe a couple of kings you know and now we're at a point where complete morons complete and utter morons who know nothing about their own country's history can rise to those levels.

Yeah.

Because of a little bit of an ability to sing with a very deep at times voice.

That's great.

What a great sign our country is achieving wonderful things.

In a time when we have the vice president of the United States, who is a black woman,

we're, what,

six, seven years away from a black president of the United States of America.

That kind of oppression

doesn't usually happen.

That sort of oppression.

It's a twist of a traditional oppression story.

Where you can hold the highest offices in the land with the kind of oppression that we have foisted on you.

It's interesting.

That's an interesting form of oppression and slavery.

It's a remix of the story from years past, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

You know, just not normally the way things go in a place where people are highly oppressed.

No, not that.

Like, for instance, is there a Uyghur premier of China right now?

I don't think so.

Do you think it would be noticeable?

Would it be notable if there was?

And I would say notable.

I would say very, very notable.

It would be a massive change in China if that were the case, where there was a premier or a vice premier of

the nation of China and they happened to be a Uyghur.

People who were in slave camps.

Yeah, I'd say that's a change.

That's overcoming that oppression.

But you don't see that.

You just don't see that.

What is it that keeps you here?

If you hate this country that much, where you're going to stand up at a major festival like that in New Orleans, Louisiana, tickets were not going to be very.

No, I'm sure they weren't, especially not in the luxury box.

Exactly.

But

where you can stand up and sing a song like that, and

you're perfectly fine afterwards.

I think that that kind of says a lot about the country in which you live.

But why are you in it if you hate it that much?

You, you're, you're going to stand there and you're going to spit in the face of the vast majority of Americans who aren't going to appreciate this, and you obviously don't care because that such is your hatred for this country that you're willing to do that.

Uh, what are you doing here?

Why do you live here?

There's, you know, you're not that far from Mexico, you're not that far from Canada, Take a flight there and don't come back.

How hard is it?

And

you might love it.

You might.

But I mean, I don't know.

Maybe you wouldn't, you know?

I mean, it seems like there's a bunch of complaints about everything, right?

And I don't know how many black presidents have there been of Canada.

Not that many.

Not that many.

Let's see if I can find an answer here real quickly here.

I'm just doing some calculations.

You know, because we got the spreadsheet open.

Yeah.

It's a lot of none.

None None in Canada?

No black.

What about Mexico?

How many black presidents have there been

of Mexico?

This is going to take a while, Pat.

Yeah, because you're going to have to count them once they all come up there on the screen.

I got to carry this one.

Hold on one second because this takes a minute.

It's a difficult calculation.

There have been none.

Oh, wait, wait.

One of Mexican or African descent, Vincente Guerrero, from 1829

from April 1st, 1829 to December 17th, 1829.

So that went well.

He's, I guess, is celebrated as a national hero in New Mexico.

So he has

black.

Yeah.

And I guess this, would this be better than Barack Obama?

I don't know.

But yeah, so we do have one.

What about France?

France.

Black presidents are France.

None.

England.

England certainly has had black presidents.

Right?

You know, prime ministers.

Yeah, prime ministers.

Right.

Exactly.

Now, of course, what's interesting is they finally do have a person of color who is the prime minister of the country, and they hate his guts.

Why?

Because he came from the wrong party.

He's not black.

He's from the

Indian descent.

Yeah.

So anyway,

this is sort of the story in a lot of places

you'll find.

And that's, you know,

and that's just one part of the story, of course.

But it is amazing to see that this supposed oppression, which also often leads these celebrities to multi-million dollar fortunes,

how can it occur?

Like, how bad are we at oppression?

Pretty sure.

Shouldn't we be better at it now after multiple hundreds of years supposedly of doing it?

We're almost as bad at oppression as we are at insurrections.

Yeah.

We don't do that very well either.

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

More coming up.

It's that important.

It's an important question no one ever asks as compared to what?

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

Stu just asked Chat GPT to name, you know, the European leaders who are black, who are African-American, because Jill Scott hates it here so much and made up those lyrics that bashed America quite severely.

So we're looking for a better country on this planet where

things are much less oppressive.

And that would be

how many nations in Europe?

Because like all of them, right?

Have had black leaders.

History of them.

You know, Finland, we're hearing about Finland and Sweden and Norway all the time.

All the time they they love their black leaders there I know that France and England and you know certainly Germany

you know they since World War II okay they've been fairly more enlightened than they once were but but how many European nations have had black leaders how much time do we have do we have enough time to get into all this I don't know if we do okay let me try as of the September 2021 which is the knowledge cutoff date of chat GBT okay we have number one is Marcelo Robello de Souza the current president of Portugal, is of partial African descent.

So not

okay.

Okay.

And maybe a mixed race situation.

The current president of Portugal.

Yep.

And then in Russia, Sergei Bakpash was the president of Abkhazia, an autonomous

region from 2005 to 2011.

Doesn't count.

That's not Russia as a whole.

Yeah, okay.

And then also then there's no more in all of the history of the continent.

So that's it.

the one guy from an autonomous region.

Neither one, both are partially of African descent.

And then the current president of Portugal.

It just proves what a hideous nation we have, doesn't it?

And

so many other countries are more enlightened than we are.

Uh-huh.

Right.

Ah, boy.

Christina Bayakova, 28-year-old vice president of a bank in Russia,

fell from her window,

her 11th-story

apartment window to her death on June 23rd.

Now,

I've tried to put out warnings multiple times to Russians to stay away from windows.

They're just too clumsy to be near them, and they keep falling out their windows.

She was with a 34-year-old male at the time named Andre.

The man said he was invited by her to have some drinks at the apartment, and then she walked out to the window, close to the window, and suddenly fell and died

after having criticized the war in Ukraine.

That's so sad.

They get, I guess, really clumsy after that happens.

Yeah.

And tend to take tumbles out windows.

She's just the latest.

There was also Dan Rapaport, a well-known critic of Vladimir Putin, who was exiled from Russia.

He was found dead after plunging from his Washington, D.C.

luxury apartment building last August.

His wife says that was not suicide.

Others claimed it was.

Weeks later, Russian oil giant Luke Oil chairman Ravil Maganov fell from a sixth floor window at a hospital in Moscow.

Remember that one?

We talked about that at the time.

He fell out of a window at a hospital and died.

Before his death, he had been surprisingly vocal in his criticism of Putin and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Then in December, the creative director of an IT company, Grigory Kochinov, plunged from his apartment balcony and fell to his death while Russian authorities searched his apartment.

That must have been really confusing to him.

There's Russian authorities there in his apartment looking for things.

And then he's over at the window tumbling out of it.

I wonder if one of them tried to stop him, you know, and help him, grab him before he

weirdly fell out of his window.

The same month, the Russian sausage tycoon fell to his death from a hotel window in India, just two days after his friend, also from Russia, died at the same hotel in the same way.

A Russian real estate tycoon also took a fatal tumble down a flight of stairs while in the French Riviera back in December.

Earlier this month, a federal judge,

Artarim Bartinev, fell 12 stories from his apartment building and was pronounced dead at the scene.

It's strange because some two dozen Russians, in addition to the nine I just mentioned,

two dozen Russian officials and oligarchs have died under mysterious circumstances.

And it has been named, the trend has been named sudden Russian death syndrome.

Oh, no.

SRDS?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a sad phenomenon.

It really is.

You know, gravity tends to win a lot of these battles.

When you get too close to those windows.

And you also combine that with some criticism of the war in Ukraine.

Yeah.

You just tend to get, things are slippery.

Dizzy.

You get dizzy.

You get a lot of of, yeah, a lot of dizziness.

Those windows.

I think you get lightheaded because of your criticism.

Yeah.

Or it could be the other way around.

It could be that you get lighted headed and that's when you start the criticism.

I don't know.

The chicken or the egg

in that case.

Who knows?

But it is interesting.

You know, of course, it's something to keep in mind as we talk about the Ukraine war and appropriately criticize our role in it at times.

It is important to understand that Russia still is a disaster.

There's nothing to cheer on.

This is not a good group of people

in the Russian leadership that do a lot of terrible things.

And

I think that we get caught up a lot in, understandably so, by the way, that

our role in this is

highly suspect at times.

There's a lot of things going on there that are not good.

We're spending a lot of money that we don't have in places all around the world that we shouldn't be spending.

You know, you can certainly make arguments that

there are benefits to America from some of these things, but also there are a lot of criticisms to be made on our role and how expansive it's become.

And I honestly, like my major criticism, this may be different.

I don't know from your take on this, Pat, but like my biggest concern with this whole war is the people we have at the top.

actually making this situation not turn into World War III.

I mean, Medvedev, the former president of Russia, was out in the media yesterday saying that it is likely this ends a nuclear war.

Jeez.

Likely.

Not like it's an outlier possibility, but it's likely that's how this ends.

He's the president of Russia.

He's Putin's right-hand man.

Not just some guy.

Right.

And that's incredible.

That's an incredible statement.

It is.

I should get you the exact quote because it was, you know, there.

This is not, he said,

it could use nuclear.

You know, we had some fireworks over the past few days.

Pat, you maybe want to prepare for more.

Medvedev says Russia could use nuclear weapons to end war in a matter of days.

Says,

let's see.

In general, any war, even a world war, can be promptly concluded either by signing a peace treaty or by adopting measures similar to what Americans did in 1945 when they deployed nuclear weapons and bombed two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

They undeniably altered the course of military campaign then at the cost of nearly 300,000 innocent civilian lives.

Of course, this very pro-Russia or pro-American view from Russia.

Yes, right.

Sure.

It's kind of scary, though.

It is scary.

The ex-Russian president Dmitry Mitrovedov also said a nuclear apocalypse involving Russia and Western nations is not just possible, but also, quote, quite probable, end quote.

Quite probable.

Quite probable.

That's even, I guess, going even further than likely.

Jeez.

It's probably going to happen, according to Medvedev.

Now, again,

Medvedev says a lot of stuff.

It doesn't mean this is going to happen, obviously.

But like, what I keep coming back to, the scariest outcome here, is not us spending so much money even in Ukraine.

It's not the corruption in Ukraine that is a huge problem.

It's not

the Russians and how they act

in this war.

Those are all really terrible things and stuff we need to talk about.

But the idea that the only thing between us and this quite probable nuclear annihilation is the competence of the Biden administration and the

restraint of Vladimir Putin.

Those are the two factors deciphering our fate at this point.

I'm not sure which I have less confidence in.

Right.

Honestly, I have more confidence in the restraint of Vladimir Putin.

Yeah.

Only because he seems to be able to go so far to really, really horrible, horrible places, but not, he hasn't crossed this line yet.

The competence line has been crossed 100 million times.

Look at Afghanistan.

We obviously know the people in the Biden administration are not competent.

We know that.

And then they turned around and told us it was the best job they could do.

Best they could do.

Couldn't have possibly gone better

in Afghanistan.

And they're still saying that.

They're saying they're proud of what happened in Afghanistan.

And it could not have been avoided.

That is their take on that situation, which we all know was an utter catastrophe.

The most embarrassing foreign affairs debacle in my lifetime by a president.

And they're saying it's the best.

They're bragging about it today.

So the fact that they could, I mean, the fact that we are currently sending multiple billions of dollars of weapons that are targeting Russian troops in Ukraine, and we have this sort of, kind of proxy war line, kind of.

We're announcing every dollar we send over there.

We're telling the Russians we're helping with targeting.

We're helping with weapons deployment.

We're helping with strategy.

We have some personnel that are there.

There are now

tanks now.

There are weapons going off in Russian-controlled areas across the lines into Russia.

All this is, in my mind, and I know there's some that would disagree with this, completely appropriate for Ukrainians to do.

They can absolutely defend themselves after this country invaded their territory.

They should do everything they can, just as we would, by the way, if someone invaded us like this.

But we would not

demand that every other country on earth pay for it.

Right.

Right.

Right.

And so I have a real problem with a lot of that.

And I think there's a lot there to discuss.

But

the fact that

we are depending on the competence of Anthony Blinken,

Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden to hold the line to make sure

we are able to keep Vladimir Putin from doing these things and turning this into World War III

in his desperation.

I mean, it is terrifying to think of that is where our entire civilization rests right now.

At any moment, Vladimir Putin could be like, all right, you guys have been saying you're not at war with us.

I think you are.

Now, they're saying that stuff in Russia, but if they act as if we are actually at war with them, our entire civilization is turned upside down overnight.

I mean, literally everything we have goes into a state of flux immediately the second that happens.

And all the stuff that we rely on on a day-to-day basis goes into question.

So much of it is produced in countries that are now friendly.

Thank you again, Joe Biden, with Russia instead of America.

Or China.

Or China,

which is also friendly with Russia instead of America.

So you have a situation where what happens to our supply chains?

What happens to

the future of the country?

It is

under discussion.

That's concerning.

It really is.

The lines are not.

You're right.

We don't talk about that nearly enough.

One of the supply chain items, by the way, that could be cut off are prescription drugs.

A lot of us are dead if that happens,

myself included.

I mean, you are kept alive only by prescription.

Yes.

Your body is made up of 84%.

Prescription drugs.

There's bone, there's some muscle density, and then mostly

pills and injections.

It's true for so many people.

And, you know, these are often medications people take on a day-to-day basis.

I know.

Think about that.

Almost all

of the

painkillers are produced in China.

Almost all of things like insulin and

just every other life-saving

medicine.

Yeah.

Cholesterol drugs.

Cholesterol drugs.

Yes.

Produced in China and India.

And this is why I think the number one priority, this is, I don't know that this is the most widely held take, but I have this.

This is a legitimate stew take, which is our number one foreign affairs priority should be improving relations with India.

Yeah.

Specifically, India.

They are now the most populous country on earth.

They are actually somewhat friendly to Western values as far as capitalism goes.

Supposedly the world's biggest democracy.

Yep.

All right, let's take advantage of that.

It has been transformed from a country that would have hatred at times for Western values to one that appreciated them.

I've said this before.

I'll say it again.

The president of India and the Indian people liked Donald Trump more than Melania likes Donald Trump.

Oh, yeah.

Like, they love the guy.

I mean,

and now they've sided with Russia and China.

Like, this should be our now.

Luckily,

they showed some familiarity with this idea.

They had a big

state dinner and Modi was in town.

And it seems like they're putting some efforts into this, though I don't, of course, believe they're capable of maintaining this relationship.

I don't either.

But like China is China.

We obviously know we're adversaries with them.

Russia is another big power.

We're obviously adversaries with them.

You have a country with the manufacturing capabilities.

of India, a country that's actually somewhat friendly to our value system, at least at some level.

It's the most populous country on earth.

It's growing faster than anybody else.

This should be our number one foreign affairs priority, other than also standing up to what China is trying to do.

Those two things work together very well.

We should make them our buddies.

Yet, what are we doing?

We're turning them off.

I mean, the Joseph Robinette Biden administration has done nothing more than

take that relationship, which was dirt strong under Trump, as strong as it's ever been, and completely.

And would be again

if he were to be elected next year.

Oh, yeah.

Again, that's not to say that I approve of every one of India's policies.

There's all sorts of.

You go through that for David Davis.

You're right.

He's huge in India.

They love him.

They love him.

They love him there.

Triple 8, 727, back.

More coming up in one minute.

Patton, Stu for Glenn, today, triple 8-727-BECK.

In Britain, they got the Wimbledon tennis tournament going on.

And of course, that had to be interrupted by boneheads again.

This is getting so agonizing.

Any big event now, especially in Britain, is going to be interrupted by these morons.

Here's what happened.

Guys about to serve.

Oh, man.

And here they come.

I'm not sure what it is he dropped there

on the court.

Was it paint?

It looked like it was paint, orange paint.

But they cut away and just went to a shot of the stadium so so that they didn't show this

douchebag

rather than

paint dust, but

it is an intrusion.

Yes.

And it will need sorting out.

I love the British announcers.

And it will need sorting out.

Yes, yes, it will.

So he then went out to the net and just sat down at the net, but they removed him, which was nice.

I would prefer them going back to the idiots gluing themselves to things

Patterns they had for a while where they would just glue themselves to stuff and then it would embarrassingly fail.

I like that era.

I think we seem to be now they're just ruining stuff.

And you know what?

Just continue with play.

Have the professional tennis player serve the ball

right into his face.

Right into his face.

Love it.

How many times is he going to sit there?

How long will he sit there?

If a couple of balls hit him directly in the face like that, that would be fun.

I'm guessing he would move.

I'm guessing he would, too.

I hate this.

Did you see they did this at the hurdles recently, too?

I can't remember what country it was in, but they were in the middle of a big hurdles race, and a bunch of protesters ran out onto this track.

While they're running, while they're running and put up like a fake

finish line that had like some dumb message.

Again, does anyone ever know what the message is?

And we never know.

No, because no one cares.

What is a message?

And you're just pissing people off.

Yeah.

And

one of the hurdlers is injured now.

Oh, because

they had to pull up and hurt their knee over this stuff.

Don't pull up.

Run them over.

Run them over.

Run them over.

Put their face.

Especially if you're just running.

It is the one time where unmitigated violence is accepted.

If I was watching this guy, did you see this?

This is a couple months ago now.

A guy decided to propose to his girlfriend at, I think, Wrigley Field.

and ran out, got out of the field,

turned around,

and he faced the crowd.

And this guy

leveled him.

Under no other circumstances.

Maybe an active shooter, this would be appropriate for us.

It's that, or you're protesting a sporting event.

You run out of the field, and they just have free will to be able to absolutely obliterate another human being.

They did.

They destroyed him.

You deserve every bit of it if you go out there.

Yep.

You do.

I'm sorry.

You do.

Especially when it's some stupid climate protest.

Stop it.

And again, you're not gaining any friends or followers doing this.

Nobody at Wimbledon is like, hey, that was great.

I loved it when you ran out and disturbed the match that I paid

$850 to attend.

Yeah, screws.

Great.

You're not making friends.

And I will say, you probably there make some paint dust onto a court, a grass court.

The slipperiness of that, they probably, I don't know what they would even do to make that open.

Probably screwed things up.

Probably screws things up.

And this happens over and over again.

And these people go out there and do it.

And it's like, no one wants to support your cause because of what you've done.

It's the opposite.

Nope.

The direct and utter opposite.

But you know, these people are stupid, so what do you do?

I think they should continue to glue themselves to stuff.

Just glue themselves to stuff and then you just leave them there.

And you know what?

Eventually, enough people just sit there with their hands glued to a floor and wind up being skeletons after a few weeks.

And they'll stop doing it.

That's my guess.

Yeah.

It's also kind of funny when the police remove them and it tears the skin right off their hands.

Oh, the glue daisy program.

And it's just hurtful.

We shouldn't.

Oh, my gosh.

No, it's mean.

Yeah.

I'm going to go down the limb here and make a bold statement.

It shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg every time you want to throw some steaks on the grill.

I don't know.

It's a crazy idea.

When you do, you should be grilling with meat that was sourced in the United States.

Our farmers, our ranchers, they work hard for your business, and they're still the backbone of the American economy today, our way of life.

85% of grass-fed beef is imported from overseas, but not with Good Ranchers.

They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches.

And for every box ordered, Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.

It's over a million meals so far.

So you can do good while you eat good.

Head over to goodranchers.com.

Use the code BEC for 30 bucks off any box.

With Good Ranchers, you can feel good about the 100% American locally sourced meat you're putting on your grill and on your plate.

Make this summer one to remember by starting it with American meat delivered to your door from goodranchers.com.

Now, if you go to goodranchers.com and you use the code BEC right now, you're going to get that 30 bucks off any box at goodranchers.com.

American meat, this is the best stuff you're going to find, and it's right here from America, goodranchers.com.

The code is Beck.

By the way, Glenn's new book, available Tuesday, coming up this Tuesday.

Go to GlensnewBook.com and pre-order it.

Triple 8727BECK is the phone number.

Welcome to the program.

Glenn is out for the next couple of days.

He's back, I think, on Monday.

His book comes out on Tuesday, by the way.

It's called Dark Future.

It's a Big Deal, Uncovering the Great Reset's terrifying next phase.

It is really thorough.

And if you don't, if you hadn't read this, the first book in the series, I think you can pick this one up here and still know what you're talking about.

But you've seen so many people talking about ESG scores and all of these these sort of concepts, the

World Economic Forum,

all of these things that

maybe you don't, you've heard Glenn talk about, you don't know how all the background behind it.

And even if you do have a really good background behind it, this is uncovering a whole new layer to it.

It's called Dark Future.

It comes out Tuesday.

You can pre-order now and, of course, get the book on Tuesday in bookstores everywhere.

Dark Future by Glenn Beck.

That's coming up.

Pat, you mentioned your 84, we were talking about you being 84% prescription drugs a moment ago.

And I wanted to point out to the audience who might be listening on radio,

you're listening to a very spelt Pat Gray these days.

I mean, you want to talk about it.

Can I just say,

you're looking hot.

You're a hot male.

You're actually hitting on me right now.

A little bit.

I mean, I'm a little worried that Jackie could be listening.

You know, I'm hoping.

There we go.

Like a little romantic.

I mean, you know, it's look.

Yeah.

I'm just going to be honest with you.

Stim the legs a a little bit.

But you've lost how much now?

Over 40 pounds?

Over 40 pounds.

Over 45, probably.

Now, this came after a pretty serious health scare.

Yeah.

Yeah, it did.

It came mostly from changing my diet completely, you know.

But then also, I think about the last 10 pounds have probably been helped along by Mongero,

which is a miracle drug to me, by the way.

It's like Ozempic.

If you don't know what it is, Ozempic, Mongero, and there's a new one, I think.

We govi is one

as well.

Yeah, that is uh, that one's particularly for weight, specifically for weight loss.

Ozempicero was for diabetes, for diabetes.

But I think they're about to be at least Mongero, I think, is about to be approved for weight loss as well as well.

And they do it, you know, they do it either way.

Believe me, the people over at Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk do realize that people are losing weight and are very excited about the possibilities of this beyond the diabetes benefits.

It's probably going to be even a much bigger money maker for them just for weight loss.

Yeah.

Right?

I mean,

if you can just prescribe this for weight loss, it works because

I don't know.

It works in four different ways, I think.

I don't know all of them.

It helps you.

I think it slows down the digestive system so you're less hungry.

That's one thing it does.

And man, it does make, at least it makes me less hungry.

I can eat maybe once a day.

That's about it.

That's incredible.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a little bit of a side effect of nausea sometimes,

especially if you eat

too much.

Too much.

Then you overdo it.

That's not going to be good.

It's not going to be good on this.

But the thing it has done for me, I was on four injections per day of insulin, four per day

since February.

I'm on no injections of insulin a day and just one injection per week of Mongero.

One a week as opposed to four a day.

Now, which one's better?

Which one do you prefer?

Do you like that?

Believe it or not, the one a week.

Wow.

Yeah.

That's surprising.

I like that a little bit more.

It really is incredible.

And the fact that it has

these benefits, you know, we've talked about this a couple of times because I was following these studies as they were coming through.

And they did these studies and they were super long term for a new drug.

I mean, it was like something like 68 weeks, I think, was the We Govie study.

Oh, wow.

And it was, I think, 50.

That's a long study.

A long study for

a new drug.

Five years?

More than five years.

68 weeks?

We may need a little mathematics.

Oh, weeks.

Weeks.

Yeah, I was thinking 68 months.

Okay, sorry.

But it's still long.

68 weeks is still long.

It's still long, over a year.

Over a year.

And it, you know, shows you don't have the, obviously, look, you can never, never, anything that's new, you can never rule out super long.

People get into those worlds where they worry about every long-term

reaction, but you can never know

unless you just want to never have a new drug.

Maybe it'll rot out my intestines.

We'll say.

We'll say a year from now.

I don't know.

But there's no signs of that.

I mean, like, the

profile is very, and it's been available for diabetes for longer than 60, much longer than 68 weeks.

It's been around for a long time for diabetes.

So people have been on this for years and years and years now and have not had any serious side effects.

But what's interesting about it is the first study they did was 68 weeks and people lost 15% of their body weight on average.

15% on average

as opposed to

the placebo, which was like, you know, 1% or something.

And then they ran the Manjaro

studies, it came out as 22%

of body weight.

Again, you know,

that's significant, right?

Like, that's a lot of

weight for someone who is over.

If we're 200 pounds, you know, you're going to lose 44 pounds.

44 pounds.

Right.

It's a ton.

It's a ton.

And for people who are obese, you know, a lot of that ties into

diabetes.

It has those, you know, nasty side effects.

So curing this stuff, I mean, we are nearing the point here where we have essentially that cure for obesity.

That is how impactful these drugs are to the point of like where, you know, the one thing that makes you, tell me if this has been an experience, Pat, but the one thing that they talk about where it,

the one thing that makes you stop eating, think about like when you're out there and it's Thanksgiving and you're just going to town, you don't care, it's the Super Bowl weekend, you're just pounding food.

There's only one thing that stops you, which is you hit that moment where you're like, oh, I can't eat anymore.

I can't eat anymore.

It's not because you don't want to stuff more good-tasting food into your mouth.

Your body just tells you, good God, stop, right?

Yeah.

This

series of drugs, and there's several, several of them,

make that feeling come like right away when you start eating.

So you eat.

Yes.

And it makes you feel that way.

And so you just stop and sell.

You don't want anymore.

You don't want anymore.

Yeah.

It's not like something that's a big difference.

It really is incredible.

It's incredible.

And they talk about it how there is a, you know, the Ozempic and We Govi are one like a version 1.0.

And then the Munjara, which is from Eli Lilly, that's like a 2.0.

And there's another batch of these coming soon that is like a 3.0 that they say is even more like effective for weight loss.

And they're coming in pills too, not just injections.

This stuff is going through.

It's incredible.

They did a recent poll that said 47% of Americans

would like to be on these things.

You want to talk about a big new market.

Yeah.

And this is what we've all talked about, right?

We've all talked about that idea of, wouldn't it be great if they just had this pill where you just eat what you want?

Now, that's not exactly what this is like.

I mean,

because

you don't want to eat all the time.

It's not like that.

It's not like a magic pill, but it does control your animal instincts a little bit.

It does.

And they're saying now that these drugs are showing effects in other

categories of behavior.

Like if you have other addictions, it seems to help other addictions as well.

Because

like,

you know, smoking, for example.

Really?

Now, this is just like early studies.

They would not say that it's going to cure your smoking habit, but like things like where you have habits that you want to turn around.

I think I've heard this.

And

obsession, compulsion.

Addictive behaviors.

Yeah, yeah.

They're saying it just because that's what everyone talks about is how it calms the way you feel.

Right.

Like it's, you don't have that I'm thinking about food all the time thing.

There's people here that have lost 90 pounds on it, 80 pounds, 70 pounds.

You've lost 40.

I mean,

now yours was a little bit different because you also had a big change in diet.

Yeah.

But like that's not even the case with a lot of these people.

I know a guy who's lost 95 pounds on this stuff.

And, you know, it's a person who travels a lot, who does not, who, you know,

he'll have a few drinks.

He'll go to nice restaurants.

Like,

it's living a lifestyle that you actually would want to live and still able to lose a lot of weight.

It's really amazing.

It really is.

And for all the beating that the pharmaceutical companies in many times

at times, deservedly so.

Yeah.

They do a lot of amazing things, too.

This is, and this is apparently made in America, right?

Mungero is made in North Carolina.

At least they pumped $450 million into a plant in North Carolina.

Yeah, no, they have.

They're trying to because they've had to keep chain issues.

The demand is so high

that.

As you can imagine.

Yeah.

And look, people don't want to be fatties if they can help it.

You know, I mean, and so they.

And you can help it now.

You can.

You can.

Now.

Incredible.

It really is incredible.

You just think that like eventually this stuff is going to come, right?

Like where

American ingenuity eventually will solve a problem like this.

It doesn't seem like the type of problem that's not solvable.

And, you know, it's been a hard thing.

I mean, you see how much money we throw at things like cancer and everything else.

And look, these people want to cure cancer too, I think.

I know a lot of people are like, oh, well, they don't care.

They want to keep these drugs going.

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

I feel like there's a big economic incentive to cure cancer.

Yeah.

I think they want to.

You might make some money.

Yeah.

If you came up with something to cure cancer, I think you'd make a few dollars.

That's a big hard problem.

And cancer is like, they treat it like it's one thing.

It's a lot of different things.

It's hard.

It's really difficult to make damage.

And that when you're talking about something like obesity, it should be something we should be able to control.

And now it seems like it might be.

Which is kind of amazing that we're on that precipice of something, of curing something like that.

And we do have a promise from a guy, too.

Anytime elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes in America is we're going to cure cancer.

Oh,

you think I'm.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

You think I'm kidding.

You think I'm joking.

I'm not.

He's not.

And that's why, of course, we built hasjoebidencuredcancer.com.

Because I wanted to keep a tab on this particular campaign done now because it's been two and a half years.

If you go to hasjoebidencuredcancer.com right now, you will see the question asked, has Joe Biden cured cancer?

The answer right now is live, because there's a live counter on that to keep track of every second of every day.

The answer right now, has Joe Biden cured cancer?

No.

Oh, wow.

Cancer still exists as of Thursday, July 6th.

Yeah.

Sad.

It's an unfulfilled promise so far.

So far, but it could happen at any time.

Yeah.

We don't know what kind of test tubes.

I mean, maybe that's what the cocaine was there for.

Maybe it was an experiment.

You know, maybe it was trying to cure cancer.

And he thought maybe cocaine would do the job.

Maybe.

Maybe he's just trying all the substances he has around the house.

You know,

it's certainly a possibility.

It's a more legitimate possibility than Hunter didn't do it.

Yep.

So there you go.

Triple 8727B ECK.

It's Pat and Stuffer Glenn.

Glenn Beck Program.

All right, let's talk about our financial future because that's always fun.

By the way, they came out with the new job numbers today, and I think they said it was going to be like 220,000 and it was like 500,000.

Like they missed by a ton.

And it shows that what they are trying to do to stop all of this inflation is not working.

I was listening to a New York Times report, Pat, where they were talking about the inflation numbers and they're like, you know, inflation's coming down.

The president's bragging about it.

What does this really mean?

And even the New York Times was saying, well, here's the thing.

There were a couple big factors built into that, which were gas prices and like certain things like eggs and everything else that had weird

disruptions that really jacked up those rates.

And the lowering of these rates seemed to have nothing to do with actual policy.

It's just a few of these little factors that have come down at the same time, which show improvement, but have not really been driven by any of the stuff they've done.

And they don't seem to have any control of this whatsoever.

If that scares you,

which it does me, think about the way they're spending and think about where we are right now.

Do you want to look at your financial future a little bit differently and think about gold and silver?

Precious metals such as gold and silver have been the best hedge against the insanity that plagues markets from time to time.

Goldline wants to help make sure you've got some on hand.

You wouldn't want to wait too long to make that call,

but check it out.

Make sure you do your own homework and understand all the ins and outs of this.

This week, in honor of the 4th of July, Goldline has a special on their Betsy Ross.

one ounce silver rounds with every Betsy Ross one ounce silver round acquired.

You'll

receive the same one ounce Betsy Ross in copper at no additional cost.

This is from Goldline.

You can get it now, 866Goldline or go to goldline.com.

It's 866Goldline or goldline.com.

Glenn back.

888727BECK is the phone number.

It's Pat and Stew in for Glenn.

I'm currently wearing my repeal the 16th Amendment shirt.

Yes, there it it is.

Repeal the 16th Amendment.

I think we should repeal the 16th Amendment.

It is the income tax one, in case you didn't know that.

Our founders put into effect

a system to make sure when we really screw something up, we can get rid of it.

And that's what the amendment process is.

We can talk about, hey, let's lower federal income tax rates by 4%.

And that'll be a really interesting discussion.

How about getting rid of it completely?

Repeal the 16th Amendment.

Let's replace it with something that is not taking your money anymore in this way.

We do not need to be spending all this money and we need to have a, we need to learn from the left a little bit.

They go for big things.

We're like, what if we could get the rate from 39.6 to 37%?

What if we could do that?

That's about how we operate.

It is.

Yeah.

And I think, you know, we didn't, the founders planned this as a nation where it would be illegal to have a federal income tax.

That's what they wanted.

Now, they didn't get everything right at the beginning, but they got a lot of stuff right.

And that one they got right.

And we should not have something that incentivizes you not to work, not to earn, that punishes you

for being productive.

So let's repeal this.

Let's get this out of here.

I like that.

Repeal the 16th Amendment.

It's available at stu doesmerch.com.

Code is stew10 if you'd like to save 10%.

Stu doesmerch.com.

So are you a fair tax guy?

No.

No.

I don't want a federal income.

I don't want a sales tax either.

Okay.

There is no reason we need to have.

We do not have a revenue problem in this country.

Okay.

We spend too much.

We do too much.

This is a way to change that.

If you want your state to be able to give you all sorts of crazy benefits on top of the basic things the federal government is supposed to provide, basic,

then you can have a state that has a state tax that does that.

And then you can vote those people in and out as you please.

You can have California.

You can have 85% tax if you want.

Go ahead.

You can give everybody, you can run a socialist country completely over there.

You want to have a state that runs as a socialist country?

Do it.

It's interesting how socialist countries in several cases have lower tax rates than we do.

Yeah.

Which is frightening and ridiculous and insane.

Russia, I think, the last I heard of their flat tax was 13%.

13%.

That's incredible.

when we're paying what we're paying.

And then you're hit with double and triple taxes.

And then at the end of your life, once you've accumulated wealth and paid taxes on it your entire life, then you get to give

half of your estate to the government after you die instead of to your children.

It's a real fair system.

Yeah, it's great.

They did a good job.

Really great.

Yeah.

Just keep hitting you over and over and over again, brutalizing you financially your entire life.

And then when you die, they hit you again.

Yeah.

It's immoral.

Really immoral.

All right.

More patents too for Glenn.

Coming up.

Right now, of course, you're listening to this program and you might be asking yourself, what makes

Stu sound so confident?

Is it his membership in the Radio Hall of Fame?

And I had to point out, no, I actually, I'm not in it.

Somehow, the guy who hosts this show is in the Radio Hall of Fame.

None of us understand why.

Pat, do you understand why?

No.

No, I do not.

No one knows.

Nobody knows.

No one knows.

Here's this big, sweaty mass mass of a man who's somehow in the Radio Hall of Fame.

And now, you might say, well, wait, he doesn't look that sweaty.

I was watching the show recently.

He didn't look that sweaty.

Well, now he's got sweat block.

He's cheating now because sweat block is the best sweat protection that you can get.

And so they have these magic wipes.

I don't know if they're actually called magic wipes, but the way Glenn describes them, they do seem like magic, which basically you don't even have to use them every day.

It's like, what is it, once a week or something?

I don't know.

It's incredible.

Even Jeffy has had, but I mean, Jeffy was a ball of sweat all the time he uses sweatblock and it works for him that's the biggest testimonial you could ever have uh right now use the code back at sweatblock.com get 20 off the promo code is back at sweatblock.com it's also available at amazon as well but go to sweatblock sweatblock.com use the promo code back and save 20

Really nice.

Powerful.

Powerful stuff.

I think you're going to like.

And

some incorrect information from Supreme Court justices who are writing dissents to some of these

new rulings that have come on.

What?

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

Where are you right now in terms of debt?

Talking about long-term, difficult to get out of type of debt, the type that has, you know, credit cards that are always producing that type, you know, 20% interest, crazy stuff like that.

So, uh, Eric Adams has been carrying around a photo of a of a police officer in his wallet with him wherever he goes for years, right?

Just throw this out there like nothing.

No, nothing that is crucial to his story.

It's his soul he bared his soul to the new york i think it was the new york times

um

he is a former police captain campaign as a democratic crime fighter quickly sought to humanize uh killings that happened um back in the day uh two new york police uh officers were killed and during a domestic disturbance in in harlem this is back in 1987 The loss of the officers reminded him of the

1987 line of death duty of a friend, Officer Robert Venable.

I still think about Robert, Mr.

Adams said at a news conference at City Hall.

I still keep a picture of Robert in my wallet.

Wow.

I mean, that's just meaningful.

That's powerful.

You can tell.

Yeah.

He's a close friend who's killed.

He's held on to this picture all this time.

For a long time?

At least 1987?

Yeah.

That's important.

I mean, it was a close friend who died, Pat.

So, yeah.

That's exactly what he did.

A week later, after this incident, Mr.

Adams posed for a portrait in his office holding a wallet-sized photo of the officer after the New York Times had requested to see it.

Mr.

Adams has since repeated the moving anecdote in media interviews and at a police academy ceremony last June where he displayed Officer Venable's picture.

This is an incredible story of

an honorable man who's running the city of New York.

It sure is.

Sure is.

Just to be fair,

just to point out the fairness here, I should probably tell a little bit more people on this.

All right.

I'm sure it deepens the appreciation that we'll have for Eric Adams.

It may.

It may, depending on your perspective.

Like, if you're Hunter Biden, you probably think this is a really good development.

Here's the thing.

The weathered photo of Officer Venable

had not actually spent decades in the mayor's wallet.

Huh.

It had been created by employees in the mayor's office in the days after Mr.

Adams claimed to have been carrying it in his wallet.

Oh my gosh.

The employees were instructed to create a photo of Officer Venable, according to a person familiar with the request.

A picture of the officer was found on Google.

It was printed in black and white to make it look worn.

And as if the mayor had been carrying it around for some time, including by splashing some coffee on it,

said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

Two former city hall aides who asked not to be identified said they were informed about the manipulated photo last year, not long after it was created.

A spokesman for the mayor did not dispute that Mr.

Adams had shown the photo to the Times and at the police ceremony that had been recently created by a city hall aide.

How despicable is this?

Very.

He supposedly cares about his fallen friend and lies about carrying.

Now, they're they're saying that he, well, he did carry a photo.

He didn't have it with him anymore.

It used to have one wrong with him.

And they had to recreate it.

So people,

they're trying to find a way out of this now.

But they've been caught by the New York Times, apparently, where this was just made up,

where they made up a photo and splashed coffee on the face of a fallen office

intentionally to make it look like it was an old photo.

Pathetic.

And of course, for weeks, the media ate it up.

I mean, it's not exactly,

but it is amazing that they made the effort to catch him in this lie.

Well, yeah, he's been carrying it around for 36 years.

36 years.

That's pretty important to him.

And then he just manufactured it a few days later.

Yeah.

That's it.

After he said he'd been carrying it around.

The spokesman for the mayor's office criticized the New York Times for what he characterized as a campaign to paint the mayor as a liar.

Wow.

Imagine having having the balls to make that statement after all this?

Oh, shit.

Hey, come on, guys.

You guys are seizing on this.

You're pouncing on this to make him look like he's a liar, even though what he said was a lie.

And he is a liar.

Well, yes.

But you're making him look like one.

Well, yeah, because he is a liar.

So.

Now, they also mention here, and tell me if this is at all familiar with any other public figures you might know, as mayor, Mr.

Adams frequently shares personal personal recollections, helping him connect to his working-class base.

Many of his stories are difficult to verify, and at times he has been caught stretching the truth.

The mayor, for example, said he was vegan before being forced to admit that he eats fish.

He said that he that a story that he told in a 2019 commencement address about intimidating a neighbor was true, but acknowledged it did not happen to him.

Now, that's not true.

Right?

Like, if I'm going to say, hey, Pat, I was the first president of the United States.

That's a true story in that it happened to someone.

Right.

That doesn't make it a true story because I'm telling it about myself.

That is just like, that is just like Joe Biden.

How many stories does Biden tell that just aren't true?

I mean, Eric Adams looks like the most honest man in the world compared to Biden.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, he does.

They did bring up as well, Mr.

Adams also recently has claimed to have sold his stake in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn where, and then he was contradicted by his own financial disclosure forms that he shows that he still retains ownership.

But this one is, you know, it's one thing to like to lie about,

you know, something like

your financial interests.

We see, you know, Joe Biden's gotten over, you know, gotten away with that a million times.

When you're talking about the death of a police officer and how much it means to you and how you've been carrying this picture for 40 years in your pocket, and it turns out they printed it out off of Google and spilled coffee on it intentionally to make it look old, That is despicable.

That's despicable.

It is.

Despicable.

This has not been good.

Now, is it better than de Blasio in New York?

I'd argue probably yes.

De Blasio is also in the news this week.

He is for his open marriage.

Yeah.

Or whatever they're doing.

I guess they're not getting divorced.

No.

But they are separated.

In the same

house.

So he's married.

If you remember the story, he's married to a woman.

He claimed to be a lesbian, right?

At one point.

At one point.

I don't know if she still is.

And

he was very, you know, if you know Bill de Blasio, he's a very boring-looking white guy.

Yeah.

And he's married to, it's a mixed marriage, and they have a mixed child.

And that was something that he promoted heavily in his run for mayor.

He used his kid as a prop constantly.

That was like the central part of why you should elect Bill de Blasio, because I guess he has a black son.

So that means you're supposed to elect him or something.

And he's a terrible mayor, obviously, a socialist and just a complete disaster for the city of New York.

That's all very well known.

But the relationship's very weird.

And I don't know what's more offensive to me.

They decided they're going to split up but stay together.

They're going to date other people while living in the same home while separated but remaining married.

And all that sounds really, really confusing, but perhaps the most confusing part about it is they apparently called up the New York Times and did a three-hour interview on their plans.

Now, no one cares about what Bill de Blasio's plans are when he wanted to run for governor and Congress.

No one cared.

Why the hell would they care about what he's doing in his stupid relationship?

It's bizarre.

Why would you even take his phone call if you're the Times?

But they did.

That was important to cover.

They're not going to tell you

about, I don't know, who's doing cocaine in the White House.

They're not going to tell you about,

you know, all the stuff that's going on with the Biden family and like the WhatsApp messages that are going back and forth between Hunter Biden and Chinese officials.

And the $10 million payments to the Biden family.

Yeah.

They're not going to talk about that.

They're not going to, I mean, and even if they do talk about it, and I should say, occasionally this stuff has been reported by the Times and other sources.

Very little, though.

When they first admitted the whistleblower story from the IRS, they put it on page 15A.

Yeah.

And so did the Post.

The Washington Post.

Months and months of denial.

Right.

Then it's on, okay, yes, it is true.

And it did happen, but it's on page 15A.

15A.

Okay.

They have hit the fact that he's gone through this custody battle

with Joe Biden's granddaughter that he will not acknowledge.

And you saw yesterday, we played the clip earlier, of one reporter asking Corinne Jean-Pierre, hey, what's going on with this?

Why will he

acknowledge his own granddaughter?

And that's a good step one.

But like when a Republican is in one of these controversies, the difference between what the press does and what they do with a Democrat is they actually get answers.

They press and press and they get outraged that they will ignore the question.

Corinne Jean-Pierre just was like, oh, we have no new information on that.

Well, get some.

What else are you doing with your day other than wearing your 1,000th outfit that you've never worn a repeat of the entire time?

Her clothing budget is bigger than our military budget.

That's a fact.

Close to a fact.

It's probably true.

It feels true.

And that's the most important thing.

It does.

It feels and looks true.

It feels and looks true.

Every day.

Another designer outfit.

How much?

What is the budget?

I just got to know what the budget is for her clothing.

I've got to know it.

Just because it's incredible.

But that's a whole nother situation.

She's obviously terrible at her job.

Every answer she gives is, well, we don't know.

We have no information, no new information on this.

Well, you know, maybe a journalist should try.

Maybe next time you're sitting in the same room with Joe Biden, you make him walk out of the interview until,

or answer the question, do you have a seventh grandchild?

Make him stand up and walk out of the interview instead of answering that question.

Right.

I mean, I know it's not the most important thing in the world.

I got it.

But, like, it sells that hell of a lot about a man's character if he won't even acknowledge his own grandkid.

If it was Donald Trump, they would push that every day, all day.

What about your son's grandchild that you won't acknowledge?

Why won't you acknowledge that grandchild?

That's all you'd hear.

Yeah.

That's all you would hear.

And it would be the most important story of every day to the press.

Yeah.

And like, look, it's not the most important thing when it comes to world events, but man, it is a really important thing when it comes down to the character of a person.

You know, Sadie, you can easily say, if you're Joe Biden, look, my son got into a lot of messy behavior, but that's not this little girl's fault.

She's my granddaughter.

I love her.

I want her to be at every event with our family.

You know what I mean?

Even if you don't mean it, you could at least say it.

Yes.

You know, he's not even acknowledging she exists.

Right.

It is pathetic.

And he's specifically been asked how many he has, and he has specifically ignored her completely.

Yep.

So, yeah,

they're just bad people.

They are.

And I mean, to go back to the press side of this for a second, Pat, the follow-up needs to be there.

Right.

Like,

At this point, we now have this WhatsApp message that went back and forth.

Hey, I'm sitting here with my dad and he wants to know where this money is.

You need to wire it right away or he's going to hold a grudge against you.

I'm going to hold a grudge against you.

He's going to make sure that everybody he knows holds a grudge against you.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is on record now.

We have to get the president of the United States, at the very least, to admit that his son was using his name for influence.

Who was...

If he wants to accuse his son of lying in a drug-induced haze, I'm okay with that for the moment.

because we have to get to that step before we get to the next one.

We have to confirm that he is acknowledging that his son did these things, even if he's saying he didn't do them.

Because until we get over that hump, we can't get to the next one.

Right.

We need to get him on record lying about this and saying he knew nothing about it.

Then we'll get the next set of messages that prove he did know something about it, right?

But we can't get there because the press asks.

They won't ask.

They either won't ask or they'll they'll ask and get a, well, we have no new information about that and stop.

Right.

Why are you stopping there?

Your whole job is to keep going when they give you that answer.

And that was the goal of every journalist that I ever saw, you know, profiled in a movie that overturned Watergate and all these.

That was the goal.

You got to that brick wall.

Where the person at the White House was telling you, there's nothing here.

You're crazy.

I don't know what you're talking about.

And you kept going.

And it's the exact opposite of what they do now.

They stop the second Corinne John Pierre says, yeah, I don't have anything.

Well, follow up.

Right.

Get it from somebody else who isn't an idiot.

When will you?

When will you?

What's the date?

When do we get this information?

Yep.

Who are you going to refer us to?

We're going to go there.

We're going to find out.

We're going to make a big deal about it.

We're going to put it on our front page until they answer it.

And pressure and pressure and pressure and pressure.

And maybe they will.

Triple 8-727.

More coming up in one minute.

Well, you've worked pretty hard for the money you've made over the years.

You've probably been fiscally responsible, saving money where you can, not living

beyond your means like the government does.

But year after year and month after month, you watch the value of the money you have moving in a wrong direction.

You know that things aren't looking good at all for the U.S.

dollar in general.

The numbers that came out today were a disaster.

They do not have this inflation thing under control at all.

They're lying about having it under control because of their policy.

It's not true.

Did you see this interesting story on the United Nations and the emergency powers they're trying to seize over the United States and every other nation on earth?

In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S.

presidential election, the UN will host a landmark summit of the future where member nations will adopt a pact for the future.

The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the UN over the past two years as part of its sweeping our common agenda platform.

Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the UN plan for a new emergency platform, a stunning proposal to give the UN significant powers in the event of future global shocks, such as another world pandemic.

Did we not learn our lesson?

I mean, obviously.

No, we did not.

I think we did, but.

Yeah, well, yes.

They did not.

Did our administration learn anything?

No, they did not.

Once triggered, the emergency platform would give the UN the ability to actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the center of its work.

The UN would bring together the stakeholders of the world, including academics,

governments, private sector actors, and international financial institutions, to ensure there's a unified global response to any crisis.

Hmm.

Yeah, this is

interesting.

Here's what this would include.

Okay, they can declare these emergency powers in the event of a major climactic event,

a future pandemic risk, a global digital

connectivity disruption, a major event in outer space,

like I guess aliens or comets, meteors, that kind of thing.

And this really great one, unforeseen risks.

Oh, okay.

So they can declare emergency powers if there's an unforeseen risk.

I love this.

Yeah.

On the globe.

You can't write bills like that.

We've learned this, if anything, from the 2003 HEROES Act.

The Heroes Act, which was designed for military members who were in the middle of a

terrorist attack.

Let's say there's a terrorist attack that goes on.

We need to go to war with almost no notice, like what happened in September 11th.

They passed a bill to say, hey,

these guys who are in the military, they should be forgiven these loans in these situations because they have no way of

working around the schedule that we've just presented them, right?

They can't work second jobs, they can't work on the weekends.

They're called into active duty with no notice.

We can't expect them to pay these things back.

We'll fully give those loans.

And the way it was written was: in case of a terrorist attack, in case of military emergency, in case of war, national, and then it had a little thing at the end.

It was like, and another, and other national emergencies.

And that was the justification they used to forgive all student loan debt, $400 billion

at least, through the student loan debacle.

Now, luckily, the Supreme Court caught it this time and said, no, you can't do that.

But this is the type of stuff that gets manipulated later on.

Yep.

Yep.

Let's come up with what this lesson is.

And if anything, we should be going the opposite way, saying they cannot do this.

We just learned our lesson from COVID.

Instead, they're doing the opposite.

The Biden administration is going along with this.

The Glenn Back program, of course.

If you you look in the mirror and you see some dark spots you don't like so much,

This is amazing because

that many people, especially famous people, people from the NBA, people from the entertainment world, they don't say things like this.

But Gilbert Arenas

is talking about how the radicals in the LGBTQI ⁇

community,

how they operate.

Here's what he had to say.

This is amazing.

The LGBT, right?

I think it's the most unfair group walking the planet right now.

How so?

They have a playbook

that only they are playing by, that they can only see.

No one else gets to see this playbook, but we're being judged by everything that's in this playbook, but we don't know it.

So it's like, there's no open dialogue, right?

There's no open dialogue about what is appropriate, what's not.

We only find out after we f ⁇ up.

That's unfair, right?

That's unfair.

You can't do that.

You can't, you can't, how do I know something's wrong until you get it?

Give me an example of what you're talking about.

Just words, phrases, like he, she, it, they, wait, we don't.

How do we know you're you're making it up as you go?

And we don't, it's not like, that's what I said.

It's not like there's this dictionary of updates and we can sit there and click it and say, all right, oh, I can't say, oh, I can't.

They took this out, right?

They added this in.

We're just learning.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

And that's unthat's really unfair that you can cancel somebody on a playbook that only you have.

Yeah.

Right?

Like having an argument with someone from the LGB.

Suicide.

Right?

Here's why.

They have the whole dictionary

to use against you.

Right?

They can say whatever they want.

They can technically make a straight man gay by saying, hey,

you look like a gay guy.

You look like this and call you all kind of gay words, which is technically offensive, right?

To a straight man.

Soon as I say something back that's gay, I'm canceled now.

Wow.

It's funny because you can't have an argument with these people as he's having an argument with these people.

He is in the middle of exactly the thing he says is going to get him canceled, and he's likely to see it happen.

Yes, he is.

Now he will be enemy number one.

Gilbert Arenas, who's a really good basketball, I mean, a great, great scorer, a great offensive player.

People forget how good he was.

He averaged almost 21 points a game during his career.

Yeah.

And that was, it was derailed by injuries.

He was, he was averaging 28, 29 points a game before the injuries hit.

Man.

And he was really one of the best offensive players in the league.

People forget how good he was.

But

to hear this,

someone like him talk about this in this way, it's obviously like raw.

And, you know, you go back and

this is obviously true.

I remember the Patton Oswald, the comedian, who's, he even says, I'm a huge progressive.

I'm the biggest liberal.

I mean, the biggest ally in the world.

He's like, but I can't keep track of your terms.

You know, it's impossible for people to do this.

What are these rules that you don't, they're, if you want to follow them, I don't want to follow them.

What I want to follow is the truth.

What I want to follow is, I want to be respectful to people.

People are different.

They have different beliefs.

They do different things.

I don't care.

I really don't care.

I don't want to have anything to do with,

you know, worrying about what you're doing in your bedroom.

You do what you do, assuming it's legal.

That's my only line for you.

Make it legal, and then you do what you do, and I don't want to hear about it.

That's my line.

But a lot of people want to say, I want to help you.

I want to be on your side.

I want to bend over backwards, to acknowledge every little thing you're doing, and yet you still cancel us.

I mean, his point in the monologue, Patton Oswald, who, again,

he hates everything about conservatism.

He is a big-time liberal.

What are you saying?

They're even trying to cancel RuPaul over this.

RuPaul, who is a cross-dresser,

a drag queen, I guess.

I don't know what the right, again, I don't know what the right term is.

After a drag queen, I certainly is appropriate with RuPaul.

But

this is the person who trailblazed all this was like, you know, every taking, doing all this stuff when no one would do it.

And then he says the word tranny, and they're trying to cancel him.

Because he's not, he's not allowed to use the word tranny.

Again, I understand that.

You can use that in an offensive way, but this is a guy who's built his career on being a drag queen.

You'd think he'd be allowed to say this.

I saw this story the other day with the Nathan's hot dog contest

was going on.

And Joey Chestnut won it again, 16th time, I guess.

But did you know that up until 2011, there wasn't a women's competition?

It was a combined event.

And only in 2011 did they separate it into a women's competition.

Now, I don't care about the Nathan's hot dog contest at all, but like just looking at that,

as recently as, you know, Barack Obama's president of the United States, right?

This is not old-timey history.

We were going the opposite direction.

They were like, obviously, men cannot compete with women in this event.

Let's separate it, right?

Now we're like, I don't know.

Now let's let all the men.

If they say they're women, let's let them compete there.

Like this stuff has gone so crazy so quickly.

You go back and you look at comedy from the mid-2010s and it's stuff that they would never even attempt to do today.

And it's embarrassing for a lot of these people.

I'm glad Gilbert Arenas is speaking out.

Yeah, me too.

See too.

And he did.

He did.

And he did.

It's just really unusual to hear, but it's kind of refreshing because nobody will say it anymore.

Nobody will say it.

It's just too dangerous, and you get canceled.

But hopefully, Gilbert Arenas has made his money, and he's not.

He's not going to be in the poorhouse once he gets canceled.

Hopefully, he's got enough in the bank that's stashed away that he's going to be okay no matter what happens to him.

So he certainly should.

He made some money in his career.

He signed, his first deal was paying him about $8 million a year.

His first deal?

Yes.

Well, his first rookie deal, he made a few hundred thousand for a first two years.

His first real deal, though, 2003, 2004, 8.5 million, then 9.3, 10.2, 11, 11.9, 14.6, 16.1, 17.7.

Then he actually somehow, late in his career, signed a $19 million, $20 million, $22 million contract.

Whoa.

So

13 seasons, estimated earnings, $163 million.

So you should be able to get by on that.

He's doing okay.

You should be,

you know, if you're not really stupid, you could get by on that.

And so could your children and your children's children and their children.

Yeah.

Now, of course, it's still oppression, as we learned from the lady at the Essence Festival.

Seriously.

You know, slavery.

I think it was the Essence Festival.

Whichever festival I have was.

I think it was the Essence Festival.

Yeah.

We talked about that earlier.

Do you remember what festival you were at?

Yeah, I go to so many festivals that celebrate the day.

The one in New Orleans where you have the luxury box.

Well, the luxury box.

The best faces the wrong way.

The Essence Festival, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the one.

It doesn't face the stage, unfortunately.

It's a cheaper luxury box.

It's not a big deal.

But she sang the national anthem to convince us that, you know, this was the land of the slave instead of the land of the brave.

My gosh.

And

that attitude permeates many people in the NBA.

I don't think Gilbert Arena shares that view, but it's the Colin Kaepernick view.

You know, it's this view that you go out there and somehow you're, while everyone who comes to watch you play makes one one thousandth of what you make, you're the one that's oppressed.

That's the view.

Well,

you look at the life of, you bring up Colin Kaepernick.

I mean, the guy has to get by on these Nike contracts that pay him $20 million a year.

Who can do that?

You can't.

You can't.

You can't make ends meet on $20 million a year.

No, he doesn't have an NFL salary.

Now, what about the the Netflix money he gets on top of that and all the other dumb endorsements he gets?

You think he can make it there?

No.

Maybe he gets up to $30,000, $40 million.

Not enough, huh?

Not enough for Colin, the anti-capitalist, who is legitimately now talking about how capitalism is the evil.

Capitalism is evil.

He's a legit socialist slash communist.

Oh, like this guy is not.

He's not even a liberal.

It's not even right to say he's a Democrat.

I mean, he is, of course, is much more that way, but he's essentially a socialist.

And at the same time, as most socialists do, they will take advantage of the perks of capitalism if

they can have them.

You know,

people in China are communists

in the leadership, but they also will take advantage of capitalism and give themselves very nice lifestyles.

They don't mind taking advantage of that stuff when they can have it and still justify their power through communism or socialism or whatever else.

And this is what's this happens all the time.

We saw this in the, you know, the WNBA.

There's been players recently who've been talking about this as well, how, you know, the oppression is there and it's so real.

And it's like, do you have any idea what you, what the people who fought for the rights that you have, and I'm not even talking about like the founding fathers, because I'm a conservative.

I'm talking about like African Americans in like the 60s who legitimately had stuff to really complain about.

Not how great their charter flights were to their WNBA games, but I'm talking about real things, real problems.

There were real problems in this society, many of which we fixed.

This is not a perfect country, but again, as compared to what, it's the best one you're ever going to find.

And if you can't be happy here, you probably can't be happy anywhere.

Maybe it's you.

You know?

Yeah.

You ever stop and think about that for a second?

Maybe it's you.

No, they don't stop.

Maybe it's your fault.

They do not.

Maybe you're just a sad and pathetic person that will never be happy with anything in their entire lives.

Maybe it's you.

A lot of people, a lot of African Americans find ways to be happy in this country.

Maybe it's on you.

So you're saying Jill Scott, who sang the

fault, Jill Scott.

Of the national anthem.

It might have been her.

Might be her.

Might be her.

And that's what I yelled out of the back of my luxury box at the Essence Festival.

It's maybe you.

I said, maybe it's you, Jill.

You know, there's plenty of people who in this country that have similarly colored skin as you do and find themselves quite happy in this nation.

You know,

they're not making $12 million.

They're not making $12 million.

They might be making $40,000 and have a good family.

Yep.

And they're pretty darn happy.

You know, not everybody's happy.

I complain about stuff all the time in this country.

It's okay to complain about stuff.

But when you're talking about this country as at its foundations, the worst place that has ever been conceived,

just ditch it.

It's the opposite.

Yeah, just, you know what?

You obviously hate the place.

Find a place that you like.

Maybe you'll love Croatia.

You know, maybe you'll find Mongolia delightful.

I don't know.

I've never been there.

I've never been there.

Maybe it's Chile.

Maybe you'll go to Chile and you'll love Chile.

I don't know where that location is, but there are a lot of freaking choices, a lot of different styles of government.

This is the only one that's like it.

Why would you stay here?

Go find any of the other different varieties.

You want a parliamentary democracy?

Tons are available, dozens.

You want a monarchy?

Dozens are available.

Dictatorships, tons are available.

You want places that are going to, you want a communist party-led country?

You can find that.

You want North Korea?

Go for it.

Wherever you want to go, you find that country that fits you.

Because this one, clearly, you despise.

Would you continue to go to a restaurant that you hated over and over and over and over again?

That makes sense.

No, go to a different restaurant.

I'm not, no one's kicking you out.

You want to stay?

Stay.

You want to continue to bitch?

This is the one country we'll allow you to bitch about the country and stay.

This is like the one place on earth where you can do it and fine.

But just for your own personal satisfaction, wouldn't you want to try to find a place that would make you happy?

Seems like it.

A good real estate agent has a lot of responsibility when it comes to helping you buy or selling a home.

Let's say you're moving overseas because you hate your country so much that you want to escape it.

You need to sell that home.

You need a good real estate agent.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to find that person.

Now, I don't know if they'll accept you if you're constantly bashing the country.

The real estate agent may say, I don't want to work with you.

You're nuts.

But hey, if they know that it means happiness for you, finding that inner peace in Mongolia, maybe they'll go along and help you sell that house.

Whether you're buying a home or selling a home, you need to have the best side of that transaction, the best price on either side.

And realestate agentsitrust.com is the best place to go to find that person.

You know,

Glenn started this company years ago.

I remember him complaining about his real estate agent all the time, and he decided he wanted to do something about it.

That's what we do in America.

We don't just complain, we do something about it.

Jill,

and I guess singing the national anthem for Jill is enough.

Glenn decided to start a company to help people.

It's a free service to you.

It's called RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.

We were just talking because Stu is a big Swifty.

We were just talking about, yeah, a huge Swifty.

Loves everything Taylor Swift

ever does.

Well, I was at one of the festivals.

I have a luxury box.

It faces away from the stage, though.

There, too?

Yeah.

I really should look into these things before I purchase the tickets.

You really should.

But you were talking about her success level and how much she's making on this new tour.

Did you say one, like $13 million a night?

$13 million a night.

They think this year she's going to make $1.3 billion just on the tour.

On the tour.

Would be the highest-grossing tour ever.

Well, I would think.

Yeah.

And she's underpaying herself here, to be clear.

Like the average ticket cost is $254 to see Taylor Swift at her prices.

I went on StubHub and just clicked around a few cities because there's a, you know, she has shows coming up.

And the cheapest ticket I could find was over $1,000.

And we're talking about, you know, Section 320, row 40, like the worst seat in the house, over $1,000.

So she's, as all these dumb artists do, they're like, well, we just want to keep prices low.

So they put the prices on sale for these, you know, bargain basement $250 tickets.

People snatch them up and make a lot of money.

They're like four times as much.

So now you're just giving all this money to a scalper instead of the artist you like, which is the dumbest thing in the world.

Yep.

But they do it all the time.

And they are now saying that, you know, she is ridiculously, obviously successful, but to an extent that almost like is

impossible to conceive.

She doesn't seem to have these, you know, big problems and controversies.

She's generally stayed out of the,

you know, out of the Iman, no, Britney Spears, you know, shaved head moments.

She's had her like bad boyfriend breakups, which, you know, in my view,

inspire crappy songs.

You know, I don't think she's particularly great.

But

what?

What did you say?

Well, of course.

Wow.

I want to get beat up by the Swifties.

As you know, I have a luxury box at all of her concerts facing the wrong direction.

All of them now?

Not just one location, but all of them?

Yeah, well, all of them.

They were available.

You might find one show where I couldn't get a luxury box and I had to be in row one.

Yeah.

Okay.

But it is incredible to see this happen.

And again, like, I don't like Taylor Stewart.

She's a super liberal.

She's crazy liberal.

She's big time.

And look, when it comes to her political analysis, really stupid.

But as a business person,

apparently very smart.

Very smart.

To the point of like, she

will go into these message boards of her followers and listen to their comments and respond individually as herself to like just random comments that were put up there.

People will be like, I would love to hear her cover this song, and she'll just do it.

Um, she had one song that was mixed, and they thought there wasn't enough of the other artist.

She flew the person back in, they recovered, they re-recorded it, and then she re-released it like the same song title with more of, I don't know if it was Atlanta Del Rey or somebody like that, with more Alana Del Rey, like they just responding to like requests from her own followers.

And of course, you get to this point of power, you get to do that.

Yeah, you can spend money enough for that about it.

Yeah, yeah, But it's an incredible thing to watch.

People freaking love her.

I wish she was a little smarter about politics.

Yeah.

We might be impressed.

Be nice.

More Swifty talk with Stu tomorrow.
