Sweat Block, you know, Glenn's been using this for a while.
And when he first talked about it,
I didn't know what he was talking about, honestly.
It didn't even sound possible.
They had these like magic wipes and you apply them once and they keep you sweat-free for days.
I didn't even know that was possible, honestly, before Sweat Block.
Even Jeffy's using Sweat Block, I've heard.
And if Sweat Block will work on Jeffy, it is a miracle product that I can tell you.

the Glenn Beck Program.
I'm featuring Pattons too today for Glenn, who's on vacation this week, and I believe next.
But we'll hold down the fort until he gets back.
Something that has never happened before in American history.
It just transpired yesterday.
And it's not good.
We'll get into what that is in 60 seconds.
Tag of the summary.
Do you think it's strange how the left seems to hate history and is always wanting to rewrite it?
It's pretty simple, really.
If you cancel the founding fathers and their ideas, you can cancel our form of government.
Everything that we love about this country, you can wipe out.
And gosh darn it, doesn't that seem like what they try to do on a daily basis?
If you want to give kids a chance to resist these bad ideas they need to learn the stories and the ideas behind the great American experiment once they learn those they're going to know what this country is about the tuttle twins new history books use storytelling to teach powerful ideas and stories behind america's founding they're beautifully illustrated books that really help your kids learn while they actually are entertained i know my kids i don't know that they are entirely interested in learning at this point but they are very interested in these books and they wind up learning and they don't even know it.
They just we trick them into learning about our history.
But they love these books.
They love the books because they're just great stories.
Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

You know, there are cynical people who are going to say this is all about politics.
No.
Yeah, they will.
I think they will.
I think that.
Where would they get that idea from, though?
These right-wing kooks, you know, the ideas they come up with,
spur of the moment.
They're just so nutty.
But some will say Donald Trump was indicted simply
because of political reasons.
And wow.
It's true.
He was.
First U.S.
president, former or otherwise, to be indicted on federal criminal charges.
So
fascinating.
And it's all over the document thing.
It's all over the Mar-a-Lago documents that he had.
What is he?
He's indicted on
espionage charges?
Well, I think, you know, we've obviously all seen spy movies, right?
Yeah.
And most of the spy movies are based on a person with legal access to documents that then stores them in their closet.
Most of them are.
Almost all like that.
Yeah, like most of them are like, okay, wow.
Oh, the drama is here.
And then you find out, oh, he kept them in his closet.
And then they bring him into court.
Yeah, when you think of...
like a James Bond scenario, that's exactly what comes to mind.
Right, isn't it?
Not that they sold them to spies or they sold them to foreign entities, which he didn't do.
They tried to profit billions of dollars off a nuclear secret.
That's, you know, that's sometimes...
There's there's an occasional movie that sounds like that, but most of them are, hey, wait a minute, that area where the closet was was too highly trafficked.
That's usually the plot for most Bond films.
So that area is too highly trafficked, but the garage where Joe Robinette Biden stores his
Corvette,
nobody's ever been in there, and it is impenetrable.
Right.
You saw Mission Impossible, the one where Tom Cruise was hanging down down for the cables and he was in that garage when he was trying to break into the garage.
That's where that shot was.
That was filmed.
It was a distress.
They had the laser security system
in there.
Yeah.
Right.
That's how that happened.
Right.
You would think.
There's so many ways to go here.
It's crazy.
I think the most obvious one is the fact that Trump is in the middle of a bunch of investigations by his political opponent.
And what are the ramifications of that?
But can I take one little half step back from that first pad?
You may.
Am I the only one who doesn't really care if
Donald Trump or Joe Biden had a few documents from their time in office that were in their garage or closet?
Yeah.
I just don't really care.
You don't, you don't
just don't care.
Oh, my gosh.
These are documents.
Now, again, like espionage.
Okay, let's say the guy who was
recently leaking stuff to his Discord group.
Remember this?
He had the documents about the Ukraine war and he was leaking them to his friends at Discord.
You can see how something like that could be a real problem.
He shouldn't have had access to those documents.
He put them out into a public forum.
A bunch of people who should have had no access to that information whatsoever got access to that information.
Right.
Real problem.
We don't know what happened to it.
Maybe it could leak to foreign entities.
Maybe it could threaten American security.
Maybe it could threaten Ukrainian security, which seems to be much more what they're interested in these things.
It's way more sacrosanct than American security.
Exactly.
Are you kidding me?
I can see why that would be a real thing to be concerned about.
Now, look, this guy's evident, you know, his motivation in this case seems to be kind of like, I wanted to be cool among my friend group.
I don't know that this indicates that he should be in prison for the rest of his life, but I can understand why that would be a big story.
Yeah.
Yep.
The story we're talking about now,
even if you take at least what we know of this indictment, and we don't have it yet, we won't have it all till Tuesday, it looks like.
But what basically is going on here is Donald Trump was president of the United States.
He could see any of these documents.
He had all of this information already.
He left office, you might remember, pretty chaotic time when he left office.
You know, the period between January 6th and January 20th was a little rocky.
If you don't remember that, he leaves office with a bunch of documents.
They say, hey, we'd like those documents back.
He gives back a bunch of documents, but not all the documents.
And no one is accusing them of selling them to the Saudis.
No one is accusing him of selling them to the Russians.
No one is accusing him of using these to launch a secret war in another country.
What they're accusing him is not giving them back.
When they wanted to be in the same way,
and like, look, can they find a legal loophole in this law to get him in trouble on that?
It's possible.
Yeah.
But like, step back from that.
Does this change the way you think of him?
Does this change the way you think he would govern as president of the United States?
Do you actually care?
No, I really don't.
I just don't care.
And I will be honest with you, I don't really care if Joe Biden did it either.
I don't
care.
On that issue, I will say, if it's this big a deal with Trump, you've got to reciprocate with Biden.
Right.
You have to.
And that's kind of my point here.
Is that both of these, neither one of these stories should be the first time a president is indicted on federal charges?
It's too stupid of a story.
Like, at least some of the other accusations that have been thrown at Donald Trump, again, most of them have had nothing behind them, but at least some of them were serious accusations.
This is record keeping.
He what did he put it in the wrong filing cabinet?
This is what we're going to bring a president down on?
It's stupid.
It's just
freaking stupid, Pat.
But I love the fact that the narrative from the left right now is that it is
so important to mention that special counsel Jack Smith would never have brought these charges if he didn't have mountains and mountains of evidence of wrongdoing.
This one again?
Uh-huh.
We're getting this one again, Pat?
Yes, we are.
Yeah.
Isn't that the same thing with
what's his face?
With the Russian hoax garbage?
Right.
Like, if you could say, like, if you were to plot all of these storylines on a chart, and they all started at day one, right?
And they all had this run of when you found out about them till their expiration date.
Yeah.
Russia, Ukraine,
I don't know.
I can't even name all the freaking scandals that they've thrown at this guy.
At this point on the chart,
they always say they have all the information.
Yeah.
They always leak to the press that they have impenetrable evidence that is going to bring this guy down.
They always say the same thing as wishful thinking.
They want it so bad that they just claim they have it.
And they don't.
And they want you to believe it.
They want you to believe it before you see the evidence.
They're trying desperately to stop him from running for president.
I think they're...
At this point, I think they're pretty afraid that he'll beat him.
Yeah, and I think that's certainly possible.
I mean, they certainly don't want him to be president.
Oh, well, that's for, yeah.
I think, you know, I don't,
I go back and forth on what they're trying to do here a little bit.
I know, I do too.
But from the perspective of, like, I don't think they can be so naive that they would not understand this would help him in the primary.
Right.
They have to understand
it's going to help him in the primary.
Yeah, for sure.
It's going to hurt Ron DeSantis and Tim Scott and Nikki Haley and all of his other opponents.
It's going to galvanize people in his support.
And so it likely will help him get through the primary.
It's not a guarantee he'll win the primary by any means, but it's possible it will help him.
I think it's likely that it will help him.
And if you consider that the option, then I guess you're saying either they believe they're going to beat him in the general, this is going to hurt him in the general, which is, I think, a plausible argument.
Yes, us on the right that have followed every aspect of the Russia investigation are going to say, I can't believe they're trying this again.
I can't believe there's another one of these.
Some moderate who doesn't know anything about the Russia investigation other than what they see on their occasional Twitter feed or Facebook feed and have no information about this and just keep seeing indictment, indictment, indictment.
It could be another story in the general.
And that's a real concern you have to think about when you're looking at this stuff.
Did you see what Jamie Raskin, who is a Democrat from Maryland, had to say yesterday about this situation?
Really hard for me to just not turn him off.
Yes.
But I applaud you, Pat, for sticking with it and actually reading what he said because I was not willing to go that far.
Now, I didn't listen to what he said, but I did read it.
Okay.
Because it was only one line.
Okay.
But he said that Trump put U.S.
national security in grave danger
by pursuing, quote, yet another lawless personal agenda.
What's the agenda?
Really?
What?
What did he do?
What did he do?
He had these in boxes, and did he go down there and look at them from time to time?
Probably not.
He probably didn't even do that.
I doubt that.
But if he did, so what?
He already knew about it in the first place.
That's why he took them.
I don't.
If you're alleging, if there's evidence
that he sold them to Russian spies, if the FSB or KJB or whoever.
uh is in power in the in the in russia now if he sold them to some russian spy okay and you've got evidence of that maybe you've got photographic evidence.
I want to throw him in prison.
I can go with you on the grave danger thing.
I want to throw him in prison if he did that.
Absolutely.
As I think every member of the audience would.
Yes.
However, that's not even being alleged.
No, it's not.
They're not even accusing him of that.
You know what?
Which, I guess, pretty much means it's not even alleged.
That's how that works.
Yeah.
My understanding.
I mean, they are.
You could be mistaken, forgiven for that when you see the word espionage included, as if this guy was hiding
in a trench coat in some parking garage somewhere, leaking to Chinese spies.
Now, look,
if Donald Trump had a threesome with Eric Swalwell and a Chinese spy and gave them the documents, I would be really worried about that.
Well, did he wee wee on him?
I know.
Do I?
I know.
Let's ask Christopher Steele.
Okay.
And then maybe we could find that out.
But like, Pat, I don't know what happened here yet, right?
And it will be months and months and months after,
you know, today that we will probably find out.
Probably after the election.
Probably after the election.
And they'll just continue this garbage.
They'll just continue to throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
So they can hopefully derail him by November 2024.
And at that point, when we do find out what went on after the election, they will just bury it on page 18, right?
Like they'll say, oh, yeah, he got off.
Oops.
I mean, what have they said about Russia?
Nothing.
Nothing.
They just don't even bring it up.
There's no apology.
There's no nothing.
No.
So all of this goes on.
But like, what's the most likely scenario here?
Donald Trump leaves office.
He's a guy who thinks he's been wronged in the election.
He's angry.
He pulls a bunch of boxes of documents that he believes are his.
You know, I was in the middle of this.
This is a letter from Kim Jong-un to me, to me, Donald Trump.
That's me.
My name's at the top of it.
It says to me.
I bring it home to my house.
Then these people who just screwed me out of it, again, this is Donald Trump.
These people that just screwed me out of an election now want this stuff back.
Screw them.
No.
Oh,
absolutely.
Highly plausible.
Yeah, it is.
Now, is that consistent with the Presidential Records Act?
Probably not.
You know, probably not.
If that's the scenario that played out, they may very well be able to come up with some legal justification that if he, you know, they, you know, they, if he did it and they knew his intent, they have evidence of his intent.
They may very well be able to get him on something.
But we're hearing that every president since Reagan has done this.
In some form.
In some form.
And intent is the difference.
And what they're saying here is that he intended to do it.
Now, is it possible that he was so angry and just was saying secure?
It's possible.
It is.
But so what?
But like, is that a huge deal?
These documents, they weren't leaked to foreign entities.
Anything in a Mar-a-Lago closet is certainly more secure than something soared online, right?
Like,
go, if you live near Mar-a-Lago, go in there today and try to steal a Diet Coke and see how that goes for you.
Go try to just play golf on the course without actually preaching being in law.
Let me know.
No, I'm not.
I should probably clarify that before the DOJ shows up.
I am not clarifying.
But I'm saying this as a hypothetical thought exercise.
It would be darn difficult to play the eighth hole at Mar-a-Lago for getting away with it.
You think stealing stuff out of Donald Trump's closet is going to be easy?
Probably not.
It's not.
It's ridiculous.
The whole thing is completely absurd.
And yes, you might be able to go in there and find some legal thing you can catch him on.
But fundamentally, what are we asking as people who are in the United States,
citizens of the United States right now, voters here in the United States, is this a reason to vote for him or not vote for him?
And the answer is, of course it's not.
Neither.
It should make no impact whatsoever on his ability to govern.
And we'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
888-727-BECK.
Patton, Stu for Glenn.
More in one minute.
So pain has gotten aggressive with you.
Has it?
Well, if you get up in the morning, it's already kicking you around like a soccer ball.
It only gets worse as the day goes on.
And, you know, that is something that a lot of people deal with.
Millions of people deal with this every day, and they don't, you know, so many of them have given up.
Something like 30 or 40 percent of people just give up.
They say, This is just part of my life.
This is how it is now.
Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
If you're living with pain that's aggressive and has gotten aggressive with you, it's time to get aggressive back.
May I recommend that you give Relief Factor a try?
You could get up getting your life back, and that's a really important thing.
The three-week quick start is only $19.95.
It's a trial pack.
It's not a drug.
It was developed by doctors.
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them have gone on to order more.
Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for Relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start.
Again, it's relief factor.com or call 800, the number for relief.
Relief Factor, feel the difference.
10 seconds.
Station ID.
So, somehow they made this into seven trumped-up charges.
And I guess each of the charges carries a penalty up to 20 years in prison.
So, conceivably, Donald Trump could be in prison for 140 years.
And that would make perfect sense in our justice system.
When child molesters, gosh, I wish I could remember the stat.
The stat is in, if you happen to have a copy, handy.
I think it's in an inconvenient book.
Glenn's
bestseller from back in the day.
And the average prison sentence for a convicted child molester is like 18 months.
Oh my God.
It's like, it's so absurdly low that I had to check the stat myself 10 different times.
I don't remember if it's 18 months.
It might be two and a half years.
It's very, very low.
Less than five years for sure.
And we're going to send Donald Trump to prison for 140 years for his filing system.
It's crazy.
It really is.
Incredible.
And, you know, while most
news articles point out that that's unlikely to happen, that he would get that kind of time, obviously he wouldn't.
But still, I mean, just that there's even a possibility is just asinine.
Like, if you were to come to me and say, look,
letter of the law, he violated this particular thing.
He has to pay a fine or pay $100.
Right.
Like, everybody.
Okay, that's fine.
And we're going to move on and stop talking about this.
That's the way it should be handled, but it's not going to be.
It's not going to be.
And at the same time as we're hearing, and this is part of it, this ties into it.
At the same time, we're hearing that Joe Biden maybe got a bribe for $5 million.
$5
million
from a foreign
actor.
Much closer to the thing a person would be concerned about, right?
Yeah.
Because that could be a real SPC.
That's a real problem.
much more close to that debt.
Especially if he's making policy decisions based on that.
Especially if, you know, he's procuring
promises and actions from foreign governments in exchange for it.
I mean, that is far more serious, to about the thousandth power more concerning than anything they're accusing Donald Trump of.
And he's got the document situation himself to deal with.
Between those two things, I mean, it's just,
and again, it ties in because I think this is a distraction from all the Biden stuff.
I mean, we'll have to play some of what Biden said yesterday about this.
It's agonizing.
I mean, for him to even, one of the, one of the
sentences that he uttered had two words in it.
And
it's maybe the biggest lie I've ever heard.
I'm honest.
Was the sentence.
I'm honest.
Yeah, there you go.
There it is.
You're honest?
Are you?
No.
Are you?
No, he is not.
He is.
Look, he is.
He's the biggest liar I've ever.
I think he's a bigger liar than Bill Clinton,
which is saying something.
Yeah, I think so.
You know, I think that
there is this perception of Biden, and this is a problem because the American people at least felt this way in 2020.
That he was a bit of a bumbling fool.
Yeah.
But he was.
But he's a good guy.
He's a good guy.
He's Joe.
He's Joe from the neighborhood.
What was it that Lindsey Graham said about him?
Which is now maybe the worst thing I've ever heard from Lindsey Graham.
He's saying something.
Yeah.
And that's that he was this man of integrity and such a good, good man.
That's exactly the opposite of what he is.
Yeah, that is.
I don't think that's up for debate anymore.
Nope.
But, you know, look, enough people apparently believe that.
And that's shocking to me if you've looked at the potential.
You're not paying attention if you believe that.
Well, yeah, but that's the thing.
These elections are won and lost by
people's votes who don't pay attention.
That is something we all have to recognize.
And it's an unfortunate part of our country right now.
The Glenn Bach program.
So
Pat is here to tell you about, of course, the wonderful product called Rough Greens.
Rough Greens.
Pat, how many dogs do you have now?
Just the one?
Two?
Just the one.
Okay.
Yeah, that's the little one, right?
The little one.
Very tiny.
How many pounds of that thing?
Probably three and a half.
Is there really ish?
I saw it.
Yeah, it really bought that size.
Well, well, one bag of rough greens must last you like 16 years.
Yeah, it lasts a while.
But man, does she love it?
And as I've mentioned many times, she won't eat her food without rough greens on top of it.
So
she looks at you like, okay,
something's missing here.
All right, sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
Good nutrition is green.
It's not brown.
The founder of Rough Greens, naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black, suggested that we remind all of Glenn's listeners about the fact that rough greens is not a dog food.
It's not a medicine.
It's a blend of live and 100% natural ingredients.
Exactly what your dog needs.
For a free jumpstart trial bag, all you have to do is cover the shipping on it.

It is Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Pack program, 888727BECK.
So, your thoughts on the Donald Trump indictment.
I I keep thinking, like, you know, Glenn always goes away when there's this huge story.
I know, that's amazing.
And then I step back and say, actually, just every day, there's something crazy.
So whenever he takes a vacation, there's a huge story.
Something's going to happen.
It really does feel like that is our world now.
Do you remember the days in talk radio where you would, I don't know, there was nothing really going on.
So let's just mess around today.
We'll do your favorite Disney characters.
We'll talk about
that kind of stuff.
You just can't, you can't do that anymore.
There used to be times in this business where you would struggle for topics you know where you'd be like well i don't know this is kind of boring and the news today kind of sucks like that is gone yeah now it's just a matter of what you fit in as glenn often says it's selfie's choice you got to pick and choose because there's just not time enough for everything uh all right let's uh let's get your thoughts let's go to matt in massachusetts hey matt you're on the glenn beck program with pattons too
So let me get this straight.
You guys knew that the Trump story is a distraction story distracting you from Joe Biden.
Yeah.
Yet you choose to lead with the distracting story, distracting from Joe Biden.
Not only did you distract from Joe Biden, you spent 15 minutes on Trump and five on Joe Biden.
Well, so you're not done.
So we have a three-hour show here.
You know, we're pacing ourselves, Matt.
We should also note that the
Biden thing broke before
yesterday's show.
I mean, we've been talking about the Biden thing for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks.
The story just broke overnight.
So it is, I think, the most relevant choice to begin a show with.
But I do appreciate your program director capabilities here, walking us through how to order our topics.
Thank you so much.
I do.
And you still have to, despite the fact that it is a distraction,
it's the biggest story there is right now.
And I will say, too, like,
it's important for us to
be on this stuff to make sure that people understand the truth.
Like, you can't just blow these things off.
You can't just say, oh, well, an attack is coming.
We see it as an invalid attack.
Therefore,
we shan't defend it.
Right.
Right.
Like you start doing that and you start losing.
And that's what Republicans have done for a very long time.
So I'm not going to go.
And that's why I entertain that.
They're losing.
They do tend to lose.
That's why.
They do tend to lose.
My gosh.
Let's see.
Chris in Ohio.
You're on the Glenn Beck program.
Hi.
I do totally agree with him.
You know, if we look at this, okay, we got two guys that are very high profile.
Okay.
I mean, highest profile right now.
And
with with the same charges.
And we realized that neither one could do anything with any information that they would have because there's going to be a paper trail.
I mean, you know what?
We know what's going to happen.
So if you take and distract one from the other, what are we missing on the other side?
I mean,
it's a story.
It's certainly, I mean, look, it's an understandable point.
I will say they don't have the same charges against them, however.
One of them has federal charges filed in the last 24 hours, right?
That is an important
thing to cover.
We've done.
It's the first time in American history.
It's like we're not going to even mention it.
Right.
All right.
We've done endless coverage, endless on Joe Biden and the accusations against him.
We told you on the air years ago he was the most corrupt vice president in American history.
Seriously, what was that?
2013 or 14?
I would argue thousands of hours of on this story uh with joe biden the one the story that broke in the last 24 hours is the part about trump which we're telling you we we are comparing i mean i think there is a legitimate comparison here however those charges have not come against joe biden we want them to we talked about the comer situation we've had comer on the air we've had jordan on the air we've had chip roy on the air we've talked about we've done all this stuff we've done all this stuff it's important it is a distraction i think
though it's a distraction you're going to have to deal with, boys and girls.
Like we can all act as if this isn't something you're going to have to deal with.
But unfortunately, this audience by itself will not pick the next president of the United States.
There's going to be a lot of people out there who don't necessarily know about this, people who don't follow this on a day-to-day basis.
And if we're not...
If we're not locked and loaded with the information needed to push back against their claims, we will lose.
So ignoring things that happen is not an option.
We have to deal with it.
We are forced to.
And it's important to note that these particular charges come solely after Donald Trump was no longer president.
These are charges that are coming starting
and being finalized by his political opponent.
And this is a massive line that has been crossed in American history today.
We are talking about one of the a precedent that will echo for generations has happened in the last 24 hours.
So, no, we're not going to ignore it.
And
Donald Trump himself
has been discussing the case and the fact that it's a distraction, and he's talking about it anyway.
In fact, he's not only talking about it, Pat.
He is fundraising off of it.
Yeah, right.
He is focusing.
I would argue it's his central
central argument for being president again, is that he was victimized by a corrupt system and he can fix it.
I would say that's his central argument right now because we already know about the other stuff.
There's a lot of candidates in there that will pick, you know, good Supreme Court justices or lower taxes or whatever.
His, his point of differentiation here is that, is to say, hey, I was in the middle of this crap.
I saw how it worked and I need to be, I'm a victim of it, and I need to be able to step in there and stop it.
But, you know what?
It's been a while since I've had snotty phone calls.
So thank you for them.
It's been fun.
Yeah, I like it.
I enjoy it.
Let's go to Paul in Connecticut.
Hey, Paul, you're on the Glen Beck for you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Listen, real quick.
Do we honestly think that President Trump packed up his own office and his own documents, threw him in the back of the limo and took off?
No.
I mean, I want to know
who's liable for that.
And was it a setup?
Like they said, oh, these are going to get him in trouble.
Throw those documents in there.
No problem.
Hide them in the trunk.
When he gets down to Florida, he could take them out and we'll catch him on that.
It's speculation, but I wouldn't rule it out, certainly.
Not at all.
With this group of people.
And
look, their argument, what they would say in defense of this is that it's not necessarily that he took the documents.
It's that he knew he had them.
He knew he was supposed to give them back to us, and he didn't anyway.
Yeah.
Now, I'm not
all that concerned about that, honestly.
Like,
you know, okay.
I mean, I don't know.
You know, I just, I don't think that's that big of a deal.
If you're an allegation and you have evidence that he then turned around and sold it to China Legal.
That's a big deal.
That's a big deal.
They're not alleging that.
They're not even saying that.
I mean, there have been some liberal bloggers who have made reference to things like that, but that's all just nonsense.
You know, they're not even alleging that.
Like, this is just one of those things where it's possible he didn't know.
I mean, he did give, and this is the thing.
He gave them 15 boxes of documents.
It's not like he tried to hide all of it.
He gave them 15 boxes of documents.
He may have held on to this because he thought he wanted the memorabilia.
He wanted it for his museum.
He didn't know about them.
He thought that they proved something that he was going to be accused of later.
Like he thought it proved his innocence.
I mean, that's been a theory that people have thrown out there.
Some of these documents might have been.
you know, situations that he was worried he was going to be attacked with later on, and he wanted to have the documents so he could show that he was right.
Who knows what the reason was.
This is what we're going to find out over the next, I suppose, months.
But like
the
fact that this entire investigation has come against Joe Biden's leading political opponent, you know, they again said publicly in the paper yesterday that they
found out about this in the news.
They're still saying that.
They're acting as if they didn't know any of this was going on.
And they heard about it in the news just like everyone else.
How could anyone believe a word they say when they say something like that?
Obviously, that's not true.
Obviously, it's not true.
Nor should it be true, frankly.
See, words that
we've got so much from Biden yesterday.
He was really
struggling with whether to call it really good or really bad.
He was really good in a bad way yesterday.
He proved our point that, you know, there's some decline there and there's dementia there.
And the guy is just not
fit to be the president of the United States and the most powerful man on this planet.
He's just not.
And yesterday was a really good example of
how his mind just doesn't work like you would want a president and his mind to work.
He's just not capable of doing things.
If you ask him to do something later in the afternoon, like they did yesterday, you've got a really good chance he's not going to be there.
He's not going to be all there.
He can't read.
He can't speak.
I don't know if that's when the medication wears off.
I don't know.
But he was awful yesterday.
And I'm just, I'm scanning for, okay, is this the biggest lie Joe Biden has ever told?
I believe this is cut 11.
You'd be the judge.
If you notice, I have never once, not one single time, suggested the Justice Department what they should do or not do, or else to bring in a charge and not bring in a charge.
Okay.
I'm honest.
Just those two words at the end.
Biggest lie he's ever told.
I'm honest.
So his allegation is: I'm not using the Justice Department in a political manner like Donald Trump did, which is
ridiculous.
I mean, we know that Merrick Garland knew about this stuff, even though he denied he knew about it.
He did know about it.
And like,
I'm sorry.
How dumb are we supposed to be here?
I lose my, I thought we were supposed to be a country that followed this, you know, that followed the news, that cared, that participated in our republic.
Do they really think we're this stupid?
Like, think of any organization you work in.
Would this ever be the case?
The biggest thing you'll ever do, you're charging your political opponent who's the leading candidate in the opposing party, your leading opponent.
And Merrick Garland, the person you appointed to a high-level position, knows about it, but he doesn't pass that on to you in some way behind the scenes.
Now, I would argue he probably didn't walk in there and say, hey, Joe, by the way, today's the day.
That's probably not how they did it because that would be too traceable.
But you're telling me you don't think.
that a text was a text, a message, a person walks down the hall, passes a little note to somebody else.
You're telling me Joe Biden walked into that day not knowing this was going to happen.
That's insane.
And it's a clear lie.
It's an absolute bulk of a lie.
All right, 888-727-BECK, more coming up.
So ridiculous.
All right, if you needed a good real estate agent, because, I don't know, you're moving from a blue state to a red state and you are trying to get out from underneath the
terrible government you're living under, you need to find a good real estate agent in this new area you're going to.
Also, if you're selling a house, a lot of people just go with someone they know.
They go with somebody who, I don't know, they saw in an ad.
That's not the way to pick a real estate agent.
A real estate agent, it needs to be screened for the best performance possible.
And the way to find that person is realestate agentsitrust.com.
This is a company that Glenn started years ago.
to try to find a good agent after he went through a bad real estate agent experience of his own.
And now thousands and thousands of people go there every day to find the best agent they can find in their area.
You don't have to do the back, the legwork here.
This is something that they're already doing at realestateagentsitrust.com, and it's a free service to you.
So go to realestate agentsitrust.com, realestate agentsitrust.com.
Go there.
They'll give you the best agent in your area.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
When I heard Glenn start talking about American Giant, I had never heard of it, honestly.
I wanted to see for myself if the clothing was really as good as he was saying it was.
And it is.
It really is.
Everything I've worn is so well made.
In fact, I'm wearing an American Giant sweatshirt right at this moment.
It's an awesome sweatshirt.
I love it.
It's super comfortable, so well-made.
You can tell the difference in the fabric.
My wife, who buys
more expensive clothing than I do, she's used to really high-quality material.
And she had bought a pair of leggings from American Giant and just absolutely loves them.
I've never seen material like this before.
It was like 13 years ago American Giant started.
They rescued a clothing factory in North Carolina that was going to shut down.
They wanted to show Americans that we could still manufacture clothing.
We could still do it here.
We can do much better than the cheap stuff that comes from overseas.
Back in the 1960s, 95% of clothing Americans bought was made in America.
Now, almost the exact opposite, 97% is made overseas.
American Giant is changing that one piece of clothing at a time, and you're going to love this stuff.
They make the best hoodie you're ever going to wear and a high quality clothing for both men and women.
It's a perfect Father's Day gift made with American cotton, American workers, and American quality.
For Father's Day, let your dad know that he's an American giant.
It's clothing that will last so long, it gets passed on from one generation to the next.

It's immediately preceding this show live each and every weekday.
And then anytime you want, you know, you can listen to it leisurely at
midnight or 3 in the morning.
A lot of people do.
They just wake up.
They have to have that Pac Ray Unleashed fix.
Yeah.
At 3 a.m.?
At 3 a.m.
Yeah.
And so you can check out whatever website you get your podcast on and get it there.
And Stu Show is likewise available.
Yeah.
Stu Does America, available.
It airs at 8 p.m.
on Blaze TV, but you can get it on podcasts whenever you want.
And youtube.com slash Studo's America.
Also, we'll point out, Pat, we have our new campaign shirt out.
It looks like a Biden 24 shirt.
And a lot of people would say, well, I don't want a Biden 24 shirt, right?
But when you get close, you notice that it says anyone but Biden 24.
Okay.
And
I think people will like it because it will fool people into thinking they're on your side and they'll walk up and they'll get all excited and then they'll see it and get very disappointed.
Would that include Marianne Williamson?
No, no, no.
No.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, if those are the only two choices, maybe I would go Marianne.
At least she'd be entertaining.
And she's coherent, kind of.

You know,
one of the alternatives to him in the Democrat Party, and I just would love to see a sitting president defeated in a Democrat primary.
Would that be awesome?
It's not going to happen, but it'd be great.
But RFK Jr.
is a guy who has gotten some notice and a lot of credit from people on the right.
Yeah.
And so
it might do us some good to go over some of his actual policy positions that you may not quite agree with.
Maybe we'll do that a little bit later on.
Because I will say, like, I think the right is different than the left in this way, that we are much more willing to talk to and embrace.
Yep.
Embrace is not exactly.
We're open-minded.
But we'll, if we can find something we agree with you on, we're happy to talk to you about that thing.
And that's great.
We'll have a conversation about it.
We might disagree with you on a bunch of other things, but we're open-minded to talk to you.
Where the left, if you talk about rough greens, how about that?
Rough greens, Pat.
You know, we were talking about this a little bit earlier.
You get a dog.
You have, we have two, I have two dogs now.
Unfortunately, we lost President Miles.
He after
18 years.
You were probably devastated, right?
Of course.
Even though you know it's coming, you know, it's 18 years is a really long time.
It's a long time for a dog.
But his last years were a lot of enjoyment of rough greens.
You see this sort of thing with our younger dogs.
They love it, of course.
They dive into the rough greens, but also it's one of those things where you see their energy improves and they seem to be healthier.
And that's the type of thing that you can't put a price on, honestly, when it comes to your dogs.
You want to do the best thing for them.
Yep.
You know, dog food is dead food, plain and simple.
We've all heard how Rough Greens
brought Uno back from the abyss, it seemed like.
And Glenn's talked about that many times.

What you're about to hear here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Back Program.
With Patton Stew for Glenn, who's on vacation this week,
more on the Donald Trump situation.
It's just this is just flat out astounding.
And Biden's response to it and also
just his general demeanor yesterday was just amazing.
And if this were Donald Trump, who couldn't read, couldn't speak, stumbling over everything,
making stuff up
out of hand,
it would be all CNN talked about for the next month.
But it's completely ignored with Biden.
Anyway, we'll get to that and much more in about one minute.
Donna wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
She said, I couldn't use my right hand because it was so swollen with arthritis.
I used to wake up screaming in pain even.
But I woke up this morning and my right hand isn't even swollen, let alone painful.
I think I'll be able to start sewing again.
I'm amazed at this wonderful product, Rough Greens.
Oh no, excuse me.
Relief Factor.
We just did Rough Greens.
We're just talking about Rough Greens.
It'd be weird if she put Rough Greens on.
That would.
That would be really weird.
Yeah, that'd be like that horse paste thing that people were using.
Yeah, that's for your dogs.
The rough greens are for your dogs.
Relief Factor is for you.
And thank God Donna had it because it's changed her life.
Maybe you've tried a lot of different things to combat your pain and nothing's worked.
But why not try Relief Factor?
The three-week quick start is only $19.95.
It's a trial pack.
It's not a drug.
It was developed by doctors.
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.
Go to relief factor.com or call 800 for relief.
Get the 1995 three-week quick start.
Again, relief factor.com or call 800, the number four relief.
Relief Factor.
Feel the difference.
Here's some of what Donald Trump truthed yesterday on Truth Social.
The corrupt Biden administration has informed my attorneys that I have been indicted, seemingly over the boxes hoax.
I didn't know he was calling it that.
The boxes.
Even though Joe Biden has 1,850 boxes at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, D.C.
He's renamed D.C.
Chinatown because of Biden's involvement with the Chinese.
With even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is secured by only a garage door that's paper thin and open much of the time.
I've been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former president of the United States.
who received far more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country and is currently leading by far all candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in polls of the 2024 presidential election.
And then he finishes off with, I am an innocent man.
So
interesting take from Donald Trump yesterday on what's going on.
Trump is obviously very focused on his defense here.
We've been talking about the case against him and whether it's something we should really be worried about as a country.
You know, one of the things, one of the things we should probably, though, think about is we've talked about how the government has been unfair to Donald Trump many, many times.
We've covered all the accusations against him over the years, most of which turned out to be kind of nothing, right?
A lot of times early on, they would say they had all this evidence and then it would kind of fall apart under the microscope.
And we all kind of have this sense.
I think most people on the right have this sense of, look, the Biden administration will do whatever they can to destroy Donald Trump.
They'll come after him.
The media is doing the same thing.
And
they are using the apparatus of the government to target Donald Trump and hurt him and punish him.
I think we all believe that's true, right?
That's not overstating
the case, is it?
So if we believe that, what do we think happens here?
I think a lot of people have not come to this realization that if you combine what you believe about what the government's trying to do with the fact that they have the power and the fact that they've indicted him multiple times.
What makes you believe this doesn't end with him in prison?
That's a good question.
I'm not saying it.
Whether it's a distraction or not,
that could be the result.
Yeah, because if you believe that the, if you believe he's really being targeted and they have this power,
that's where you'd think this would end up.
Now, of course, there's one probable way he can avoid it, which is winning the election.
Right.
Yeah.
Or someone on the Republican side who's friendly to him winning the election.
Many of these candidates have already kind of come out and said, like, look, if I win, I'm going to pardon Donald Trump because this is crazy.
But you have to believe that if Joe Biden has the power, they're going to do everything they can to use it to put Donald Trump behind bars.
I mean, they may very well do this here.
It's a real thing that could happen.
A lot of this stuff feels fake and silly.
Like, you know, the...
the author that was suing him for sexual assault and like couldn't remember what year it was.
And, you know, like some of this stuff seems so silly.
silly.
It was a civil case.
It didn't seem to have any credibility whatsoever.
So it's kind of easy to push to the side.
And I think
that's how I feel with this case in a lot of ways, in that it doesn't seem to be to be at all a serious case.
But we don't make these decisions.
The Biden DOJ is making them currently.
It reminds me of people who say, Well, I don't care if they're watching everything I do.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
Yeah, you're not the one who decides what you're doing is wrong or right.
You're not the one who gets to choose that.
And just like we're not the ones who decide whether or not Donald Trump goes to jail.
So it is a possibility.
You know, they want to keep him out of office so badly that I think they'll do
it.
You think they'd stop at some
precedent?
Setting
jail time?
I don't think so.
No.
I mean, they'll do whatever they can to destroy this guy.
I think we all know that inherently.
And yet I think when it comes down to what this could look like at the end, we kind of think, oh, well, it's just an election tactic, or they won't really go through with it.
They may very well go through with it.
They're in the middle of going through with it right now.
They're trying to go through with it.
So, one of the big
charges against Donald Trump, and one of the things you're going to hear a lot about in the coming days, is this audio tape they have.
And this is, I would say, central to the case against Trump.
An audio tape where they say a central point of Donald Trump's defense is dismantled.
One of the things Trump has said over and over again is, I'm the president of the United States.
I can declassify these things.
I can declassify them even by thinking about them.
The way he's talked about it.
Now,
there's legal questions around that,
I would say.
But like, he does have pretty much
unlimited power to declassify things as president of the United States.
He does not have that power once he leaves office, of course.
He can just declassify them when he's in office.
Now, he does not, there's a lot of questions about whether, what process you have to go through.
Some courts have said you got to go through some, some established process.
Some have indicated basically you don't have to do much of anything to declassify documents.
That'll be fought out in the courts.
But like, there's a serious legal argument on Donald Trump's side to say that basically, if he says they're declassified while he's president, they are declassified.
And that would clear him from some of the issues that he's dealing with here.
They would not be classified documents anymore.
Therefore, a lot of this could theoretically go away.
One of the things that the
prosecution has here, if you will, is an audio tape of Donald Trump talking to his autobiographer.
This has been talked about and rumored for a while.
Now multiple news organizations are reporting that they have heard it or can
they're saying that they can confirm the details.
It's a little weird the way they're wording it.
They're not necessarily saying, hey, I just listened to this tape and here's what it says.
They're saying, like, here's the tape.
Here's what the tape says according to sources.
So it's really important to understand the tape might not even exist.
Honestly, the media has been so bad with this stuff.
At this point, I don't even know if the tape exists, let alone says what they say it says.
But it's important for you to know
what their attacks are so you can know if they should be fought back against and how to fight back against them.
So the tape basically is a tape between Donald Trump talking to his autobiographers.
And this
totally supports the idea that he held onto these documents because he believed it would exonerate him against people accusing him of things.
Mark Milley is a guy we all know, the general that has now become a Trump opponent, has criticized him publicly, but was working with Trump at the time.
And he apparently is talking about Milley.
He's complaining about a meeting with Millie.
And he says this.
Millie said said that I wanted to attack Iran.
Isn't that amazing?
I have a big pile of papers.
This thing just came up.
Look, this was him.
So he apparently at this point is showing to his biographers, not autobiographers, biographers,
that he has the paper.
He has it in his hand.
You can hear papers rustling around.
They presented me with this, Trump says.
This is off the record, but they presented me with this.
This was him.
He's talking about Millie.
This was the Defense Department and him.
We looked at some.
This This was him.
This wasn't done by me.
This was him.
All sorts of stuff.
Who is he saying it is then?
Millie.
Okay.
He's saying it's Millie.
He's saying it's him.
Trump is saying it's him.
It's Millie.
So Millie.
But he's only said it like 30 times in one paragraph.
So I was confused.
Sorry.
Yes.
I want to make sure I'm directly quoting, and this is, you know, you know what I mean?
I know.
I love it.
I love it.
So
he's basically saying Millie's the guy who wanted to invade Iran, not me.
Okay.
That's basically what he's saying here to his biographers.
He says all sorts of stuff, pages long.
Look, wait a minute, let's see here.
I just found, isn't that amazing?
This totally wins my case, you know, except it's like highly confidential, secret.
This is secret information.
Look, look at this.
So he is saying he knows it's confidential, he knows it's secret, and he's showing it to his biographers to essentially provide a defense for himself against these accusations that he was the guy that wanted to invade Iran.
Now he says this was done by the military and given to me.
And he says in this audio tape reportedly, again, I'm heavily hanging on that.
You might think that's paranoid, but at this point, we cannot be too sure.
This is what CNN and the New York Times and others are reporting.
But he says also, as president, I could have declassified, but now I can't.
So he's acknowledging that it's confidential.
He's acknowledging that it's secret.
And he's acknowledging that he did not declassify it while president.
At least that's according to what the media is saying.
This is the central piece of the case against Trump here.
They're trying to say, okay, he knew this stuff was secret.
He knew that he was doing the wrong thing.
He knew he hadn't declassified them.
And yet he was going this way anyway.
Now, I think it's important to note that Donald Trump says a lot of things.
that are not legalistic.
I don't know if anyone's noticed this about him.
You know, if he were to say, this is sort of like saying, okay, well, Donald Trump,
he said
in a tax filing that his property had depreciated and it was not in great shape.
And then he went on TV and said it was the best building ever.
We've caught him.
Donald Trump brags about stuff.
This is not new information.
We all kind of know he does this.
And the fact that he was trying to make this document look more important to his biographer is not at all surprising, right?
This is how he talks.
Now, that's not going to help him in a courtroom.
The fact that we all know that he kind of says stuff is not going to help him in a courtroom.
But in reality,
we all know that he does say stuff like this.
He makes definitive statements that are, that make things look larger than they are.
Now, this may have been a top-secret document.
Maybe it was.
I don't know.
But the fact that he says it was a top-secret document does not mean much, honestly.
He's, that's just the sort of stuff that he does.
In addition to that, it's not surprising necessarily that
he would be saying that he had not declassified it.
I don't think that was ever a real legal defense.
It was more of a public defense, right?
Like
the fact that his defense is,
I thought about it when I was president, and that meant they're declassified, it's not really a legal defense.
It's just showing how much power he has as president, which is true.
He does have a ton of power as president.
But like, stepping back from the, again, legalistic part of this,
the fact that he had a document in his possession about an invasion of Iran that exonerated him from a claim being made by others that he was the one that wanted to go to war is something
that you can totally understand he would want, right or wrong.
And you can totally see how this would not be a central case against his governing style.
Right?
The fact that he keeps a document saying that he does not want to invade Iran because people are saying he did is very central to what Donald Trump would do.
He would want to prove he was right.
He would want to prove his defense.
He's been accused of a million things, and he wants to be able to show that he was innocent of these things, right?
So, like, you can understand why he'd want to keep a document like that.
And you can understand why if he gave that back to the government, as they requested, he would no longer have the evidence needed to provide his defense.
You could understand all of this.
Yeah.
And you could understand this.
Not him selling it to Iran.
It's not him selling it to Russia.
It's not him trying to win some contract with somebody and giving this to them as a bribe.
Right.
He's not betraying the country.
Right.
He's not committing treason.
He's trying to defend himself
against people who are falsely accusing him of things.
That might not be something that gets him out of trouble legally, but I doubt the American people would really see that as a massive scandal.
The fact that he's holding on to a document he's already seen so that he can show that other people aren't lying about him is not the type of thing you indict a sitting president over federally.
I mean, it's just, I don't know.
And yet.
And yet here.
Here we are.
Here we are.
More coming up in one minute.
To celebrate the launch of the new American history books for kids from the Tuttle Twins, they want to send your family to Boston for historical vacation.
You'll never forget.
We were just talking how important historical documents are.
And I'll tell you this.
How many times has Glenn been able to shut a reporter up when he pulls out a document and it just shows the existence from 1785 that says the opposite of what the reporter is saying?
It's an incredibly powerful tool.
Knowing history is so important.
And it'll make your kids different than other kids.
It'll make your kids have a real foundation.
When others come to them and they say, hey, you know, actually,
let me tell you about critical race theory.
When they know the actual facts about this, they're going to be much more
equipped, but much better equipped to actually push back against this and carry on your values into the future.
Not just,
you worry about kids going off to college and falling away.
Well, some kids don't.
And the kids that don't have real foundations.
The Tuttle Twins, the whole experience exists to provide your kid that foundation.
And now they can even send you to Boston to check out the real historical sites themselves.
Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, order the book.
You got to get this.
My kids love these books.
And you can get entry info to their vacation giveaway, all the official rules and all that stuff, all the legalistic stuff.
Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, order the book, get the giveaway details.
No purchases necessary to enter the giveaway.
Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com for more information.
It's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

So yesterday was a really fun day for America, of course.
All the things with Donald Trump being indicted.
We also had Joe Biden hosting British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House.
But
before we show you what transpired yesterday, let me go back to last year, maybe like a year ago, when Biden told us what Rishi Sunak's name was and
that he'd been named prime minister.
And whether it's the United Kingdom or just today, we've got news that Russia
is now the prime minister.
Nook.
As my brother would say, go figure.
Interesting, innit?
And the Conservative Party.
That's interesting.
Huh?
Yeah.
Well, he seems to be saying,
go figure.
They elected a guy who's of Indian descent, prime minister.
Plus, he got his name wrong.
It's not Rashid Sanook.
It's Rishi Sunak.
But
he
shows his racism on a regular basis, and it's completely ignored every time.
Every time.
It's so weird.
You just said his name, and it's unusual, I guess, for
a name from somebody who speaks English, right?
It's obviously from India or somewhere in that neighborhood.
So his brother would say, go figure on, like, how did that happen?
Yeah, this guy being the Conservative Party.
In other words, like, these conservatives actually elected someone who wasn't white.
Like, that's kind of what he's saying, I guess.
It's hard for me to actually trace his thought patterns mostly.
I think it's exactly what he's saying.
He's just so bad.
And he's saying it again about a person of Indian descent.
In Delaware, remember this?
Growth in population is Indian Americans.
Movie from India.
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
I'm not joking.
He's not joking.
He's not.
No, he's actually being racist.
He's not joking about being racist.
He's showing you he is one.
Yeah, it's not a racially based joke that he thought would be funny, even though he didn't believe it.
He actually
believes it.
He does believe it.
Right.
So then
Biden forgets Sunak's title yesterday and can't come up with Winston Churchill's name.
All in the same general sentence.
But we should totally have elected.
Well, Mr.
President.
Yeah, Mr.
President.
Just to motor you, Mr.
Prime Minister, it's great to have you.
Second Balcony you see, the first balcony you see going up.
So at any rate,
there's an awful lot of stories that are told of probably
a bunch apocryphal about
former prime minister.
You take baths of that anyway.
Wandering around at three in the morning.
Yeah, Winston Churchill,
bothering Mrs.
Roosevelt.
He can't come up with Winston Churchill's name there.
Every day, it makes your jaw drop.
It really does.
That this man is somehow president of the United States.
Somehow,
the most powerful man on earth.
It is.
And you'd think, like, every once in a while he can speak normally.
He sounds like normal.
The fact that he can't seem to
project his voice at all.
It's so shallow.
Yeah.
I mean, I can barely even hear him in these clips.
It's really incredible.
I know.
All right.
We got more to come on the Glenn Beck program with Patton Stewart coming up.
The Glenn Beck program.
When we lose one of our service members or first responders, the tragedy just, you know, doesn't just end on that day, especially for their families.
Who's there to help them pick up the pieces?
Well, it's tunnel to towers.
When veterans who have served our country end up living on the streets, who reaches out with a hand of help?
Well, it's tunnel to towers.
This foundation is in the line of duty programs, the Gold Star, Fallen First Responder, Smart Home, and Veteran Homelessness Programs are all dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families, and their Never Forget programs engage people in 9-11 remembrance across America.
They host over 80 runs, walks, and climbs per year.
They have dozens of golf outings and barbecues.
They also work to educate kids of all ages to help our nation never forget what happened on that day.
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes to its programs.
Check them out for yourself today.
They're a great organization.
Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel2Towers at t2t.org.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn this week.
There's an interesting new Gallup poll out.
For about the last, I don't know, 10 or 15 years, seems like the split of conservative to liberal in this country has been fairly even.
I mean, usually
I remember in years past, conservatives outnumbered liberals by a little bit.
You wouldn't think so so because it's the liberals and their policies that we're always being beaten over the head with.
But that's just because as conservatives, we like to just live our lives and, you know, not show up with a cardboard sign on a street corner when everybody else is at work.
And conservatives don't do that because they're at work too.
Liberals, they got nothing better to do.
You know, they're unemployed.
Um, and they got nothing to do but write something on a sign and go out and hold it up.
But according to this latest values and beliefs survey done by Gallup,
40% of Americans identify as conservative.
26% is liberal.
That's a 14% split.
That's huge.
Yeah.
That's huge.
Yeah, it's interesting.
And that split, that split has existed before.
It's not a completely new.
That big?
Yeah.
I don't know if it's been that big, maybe a little bit less than that.
It's an interesting one, though, because it shows them, it really tells a lot about those words in particular.
I think there's a lot of Democrats who consider themselves conservative Democrats, right?
Even though, even though we'd like to meet them,
I'd love to meet them.
You know,
I think you do meet a lot of them is in the African-American and Hispanic communities
who are very socially conservative and don't see themselves as crazy liberals.
They don't see themselves as woke,
but tend to vote Democrat, you know, tend to still vote Democrat for whatever reason.
I I would say ill-advised reasons in my mind,
but do that.
You know, you almost
like if you were to say, hey, you're a conservative Democrat, some people will, you can see that person.
We just talked about them.
Can you picture who the liberal Republican is who would, again, self-identifies as a liberal Republican?
We could all point to many Republicans we think are too liberal.
But like people who say, yeah, no, I'm a proud liberal Republican.
Not very common, right?
There's a lot of Joe Manchin types out there that will say, I'm a conservative Democrat, even though he's not a conservative Democrat.
He's just a Democrat, but he's more conservative than AOC.
Right.
Yeah, and he's probably a real Democrat as opposed to a Marxist like AOC, Joe Biden, or just about anybody else who is in leadership in that party.
This is kind of interesting, too.
So 40% conservative, 26% liberal.
31% consider themselves moderate, somewhere in the middle.
And I think that's what a lot of people like to identify with because it seems nicer.
Yeah.
Non-committal.
Yeah.
Less extreme.
And
so you say, yeah, I'm really moderate, I guess.
I'm conservative on some things and not so conservative on others.
But
it's the first time in a while I've seen a split quite that big.
So you would think that would give us a shot.
That would give conservatives a shot at winning the presidential election in a year and a half.
Wouldn't you?
I mean, you'd like to believe that.
You hope that's the case, because if it doesn't turn out that way, we're in really, really deep trouble.
Yeah,
I agree.
And it shows that there's real growth opportunities, I think, for conservatives who can say, hey, look, you know, we're going to bring to you a sensible package that does not alienate all of your views.
but connects with you on a lot of the stuff that makes people say that they are conservative.
I think people want to run away from the AOC wing.
A lot of Democrats really do see that as different.
You know, they, they, they don't want to be that person.
Now, I think, unfortunately, when you vote for the even moderate, what you think is a moderate Democrat, you wind up empowering AOC.
Look at the difference in voting between the moderate Democrat and AOC.
It's almost impossible to find.
When you're talking about people who are in office,
Those people vote in lockstep on the Democratic side.
You can find a real difference between
Lindsey Graham and some Freedom Caucus member.
There's a real
massive gap between those two.
And we can cite Manchin and Cinema as a couple of, I guess you'd call them moderate Democrats.
Technically, cinema is an independent now, but you could talk about them as moderate Democrats.
And there are a couple of those people, not many.
They still vote.
in lockstep 90% of the time, even when they do supposedly exist.
And what's happened lately, I think, is is that a lot of conservatives have sort of fallen for the theory that maybe RFK Jr.
is one of those sort of conservative Democrats, that he's more moderate, that he's in the middle.
I mean, he said some really great things if you weren't a big fan of mandated vaccines or getting a shot at all.
He said some great things about the border, although
it's a new one for him.
And he's really good on cryptocurrency.
Really good on that.
He has been really good at that, which is, you know, I don't know, odd in some ways, I guess.
I wouldn't normally place that on his platform, but I give him credit on that.
He's been good on that.
But when you dig into his policy positions just a little bit further, all right, on those three issues, yeah, we, you know, and you mentioned this last hour.
Conservatives love it when they can connect with a liberal on anything and we want to talk to him and we want to praise them.
You know, it's a lot like Bill Maher.
Every once in a while, he shows some real common sense and you're like, wow, look at this.
Well, then you dig into, all right, where, where really is RFK Jr.
on policy positions?
So I looked it up yesterday
and he was asked a whole series of questions to which he mostly responded yes or no.
How about raising taxes on the rich?
Yes, he's in favor of that.
Do you support increasing taxes for the rich in order to reduce interest rates for student loans?
Yes.
Do you favor teaching critical race theory in our public schools?
Yes.
Should government pay for college?
Yes.
Should there be more climate regulations in the United States?
Yes.
Should the federal government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?
Yes.
Again, these are JFK policy positions, JFK Jr.
I'm sorry, RFK.
Yeah.
JFK.
that's okay.
He would not be a good candidate at all right now.
Not right now.
Are you in favor of drilling in Anwar?
RFK Jr.
No.
Are you in favor of building a wall on the southern border?
No.
Should that the border one is what I want to take a quick step on?
He lately, over the past couple of weeks, has suddenly become some border hawk.
Like, I don't.
That does not seem to be real to me.
And now there is some consistency with old school Democrats on that.
And that's part of what I think the appeal is among Democratic voters to RFK
Jr., because he is consistent on like, for example, the anti-war aspect of the Democratic Party that has been in existence forever.
Right.
He's very anti-war.
And the rest of the party is all of a sudden really hawkish.
And really hawkish, all of a sudden out of nowhere.
So like he's connecting with some of those voters.
The vaccine thing is another one.
Like that one has been around, obviously, for a long time.
And, you know, certainly lots of crossover between conservatives who oppose mandates and other aspects of the vaccine stuff.
There's consistency.
But remember, that has always been largely a movement on the left.
I mean, it was Jenny McCarthy.
It was,
you know, RFK Jr.
has been for a long time the voice of this movement.
And he's been obviously on the left.
You know, Jim Carrey, when he was married to
Jenny McCarthy, another
big moment there.
I mentioned this article a while ago because it was hilarious, but it was a
2015, an article from the New York Post, I think it was.
Here are the top 10,
top 10 anti-vax
faces of the anti-vaxx movement or something in celebrity culture.
And so they listed them, and almost every single one of them was a left-wing figure, with one exception.
Can you guess who it was?
One exception.
One guy on the right who was listed as one of these top 10 faces of the anti-vax movement.
I probably should.
No, but you won't.
Don't.
You won't.
Donald Trump.
Because Donald Trump.
I was going to say Donald Trump, and yet.
He is responsible for warp speed.
Right.
Now he's the one guy.
The one thing conservatives seem to have a problem with Donald Trump on is Operation Warp Speed.
Back then, he was the face of the anti-vax movement on the right because he had made some
comments about autism or whatever.
And then you have all the other ones were all left-wingers.
And now all those people are probably out there mandating that you go get a shot.
Like none of this makes any sense.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
Anyway, so go, you're back to RFP.
Neither, by the way, does warp speed.
That's not possible.
You can't hit warp speed.
Oh, really?
According to the theory of relativity from Newton, the closer you get to the speed of light, the bigger your mass becomes, so that by the time you would get there, you would slow down so much that you'd almost be going zero.
The whole thing's a lie.
It's a lie.
It's all a lie.
Don't buy into it.
Don't buy into warp speed.
It's not real.
Should the government, back to RFK Jr., should the government support a separation of church and state by removing references to God on money, federal buildings, national monuments?
Yes, is his policy position.
Guy's not a conservative.
Not at all.
New.
How about universal basic income?
You've favor that?
Yes.
Yes, he is.
Oh, my God.
Do you support Common Core?
Yes.
Yes, he does.
Oh my God.
Oh,
how about hydraulic fracking, which really saved this country when everybody else was going into recessions?
No, no, there shouldn't be any.
Would you increase or decrease military spending?
Decrease, of course.
Do you support your big climate change guy?
How about renewable, endless energy from nuclear energy?
No.
Should the current estate tax be decreased?
No.
No, it should not.
Which is one of the, is the most, I think, immoral tax
on the face of this planet.
That somehow the government is due 50% of everything that you accrued during your lifetime, despite the fact that you paid taxes on it your entire lifetime already.
Why should you have to pay again?
Usually multiple times.
Yeah, but you probably have invested it.
It's probably paid again.
And then you get taxed again because because you die.
Right.
It's crazy.
That is a pretty absolute insanity.
So just a few.
That's an incredible list.
I mean, some of those I didn't even know.
We all knew the climate thing was a big part of the RFK situation.
I mean, he has gone to the point.
He really called people a traitor.
Yeah.
He called
not just people.
Let me give you a couple of the people.
Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
He called them traitors and said they needed to be treated like traitors.
Pat, in the Constitution, what happens to traitors?
They're put to to death.
They're put to death.
Put to death.
He actually did say, too, he wishes there was a law by which you could punish these people.
Yeah.
And then said,
talked about
being a traitor, and then went on to say, when he was called out and say, hey, are you really calling for all these people's deaths?
He said, no, he'd rather just put them in prison for the rest of their lives.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's
people
disagree with him on climate change.
This is an authoritarian guy to levels that
other candidate hits, arguably.
Would I like to see him beat Joe Biden in a primary?
Yes.
Do I love the chaos he's bringing to that primary?
Sure.
I do.
But it's also important to separate that this guy would, first of all, would be a horrible president of the United States.
Horrible.
No matter what you agree with him on, you may have found three or four things you agree with him on.
He would be a horrible president of the United States, a person willing to use his power to imprison his political opponents who disagree with him on climate change.
This is not a guy who should be like, oh, wow, let's run to him.
He's a disaster.
As we talked about on my show a few times,
that's an amazing stance, too, for a guy who wants you to go with him on the hazard of vaccines.
Something that virtually, you know, most of the country, most of the mainstream accepts.
Okay, yes, we should get vaccinated against things and have our kids vaccinated.
Even if you don't like this, you know, a particular vaccine or two.
You know, the general concept of it is not particularly controversial outside of that movement.
Yes.
So, but does he grant the same sort of
benefit of the doubt to people who deny that climate change is catastrophic?
No.
Right.
No.
No.
He's not arguing.
He is not arguing for the vaccine,
for the vaccine stuff that you might agree with him on personal liberty grounds, though he makes that argument a lot.
He'll talk about personal liberty a lot.
That is not the actual reason he's making that argument.
You can tell because he wants to steal other people who disagree with him all of their liberty completely.
He wants to put them behind bars for the rest of their lives.
He wants to threaten them with something that is punishable by death.
Amazing.
By the way, if you're listening to the Glenn Beck program
and more coming up.
All right.
Patriot Mobile.
What a great company.
Patriot Mobile.
If I could just throw this in.
Yes.
Right before Patriot Mobile.
Yeah.
Isn't Glenn going to interview him sometime soon after he gets back?
And I'm sure that this conversation will come up.
Yeah, that's going to be fun.
You know, and it should.
That is going to be fun.
Yeah.
I mean, look, they'll find plenty of ground to agree with Anna, I'm sure, but hopefully he calls him out on all this stuff.
I know he will.
Anyway, it seems like not that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was the same as the dinner table, religion and politics.
You listen to talk radio to talk about politics and religion.
You don't want to talk about that when you're selling a product.
Well, normie capitalism is dead.
It's just gone.
That's been murdered by the left.
So what do you do?

Something that has never happened before, a women's softball team won.
I mean, they play a lot of games in softball.
It's like baseball.
You play, you know, 60, 70 games, depending on what tournaments you go to and if you make it as far as they did.
Right.
They were 61-1 on the season.
Wow.
Won their third straight softball championship.
That's incredible.
Yeah, amazing.
I mean,
I would like to talk more about that, but I don't care because you just gave me a bunch of Kexi cookies.
Yes.
And now I'm fascinated by them instead of you.
The Kexie cookies are also delicious.
We've got the Father's Day box, which includes this.
My new favorite cookie, I've tried just a little bit of it, but it is a
lemonade raspberry cookie.
Oh, so good.
That sounds really good.
But check out our Father's Day box.

Patent stew for Glenn.
More is on the way.
Hang in there.
The Glenn back program.
You know, we've seen this with the very rare pro-life Democrat who gets
tossed from, well, it's almost non-existent now because they get tossed from the party.
Almost extinct.
Yeah.
And we've talked to a lot of people.
I can't think of a pro-life Democrat as a politician.
Yeah, I can't think of one off the top of my head.
Is there one?
Man, I don't think so.
Not that I think.
I mean, we saw this in the last, in 2000, was it 2020?
They just threw them out of the party.
But they said you can't be in the party if you're pro-life.
They don't even want them.
So one piece of disagreement with the Democratic line, and you're just tossed from the Democratic Party.
Republicans, like, if there's a Democrat that agrees with us on, like, one little thing, we're like, please come talk to us.
We will adore them.
Yes, to the end of time.
That's true.
It's partially because everyone vilifies people on the right.
But I think people on the right, too, are so used to getting criticized, to getting pushback from the media mainstream sources that we're much more willing to talk to people we disagree with.
I mean, like, all right, like, okay, I don't think you're right on X, Y, and Z, but let's talk about,
you know,
A and whatever that other topic is.
Let's talk about that and see if we can find some common ground on that.
A lot of times we can.
And I think that's the situation with RFK because I think people are forgetting all the other crazy things he believes.
But we'll share some of those crazy things he believes coming up.
Also, much more from Joe Biden yesterday.
It was an astounding day.
Coming up on the Glenn Beck program with Pattons 2.

happy to be doing it.
888727, BECK.
So the wildfires, the latest on them is what?
They're causing a lot of smoke.
We do know that.
Yeah.
If you're on the East Coast, yesterday they were telling you not to even go outside in places like New York City and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
And I mean,
the pollutant index was higher than
a lot of people had ever seen it.
Janice Dean on Fox News said Harrisburg had the worst air quality ever in American history.
Yes.
And I know
I didn't see the Harrisburg numbers, but the record previously was, I think, I want to say it was Portland or something from
wildfire situation.
And New York's particulate matter level quadrupled it, doubled or quadrupled that level.
Really is incredible.
And you've seen the footage, of course.
You can't see anything in half of these places.
What I found was interesting.
There was this crazy woman who's out there in the middle of like the haze.
The whole city of New York looks orange and she's standing there in Times Square just yelling like, we need to stop climate change.
We can't be breathing all of these
fumes.
You know, we need she says
we need to be livable future people.
Livable future people.
That was, I believe, her quote.
We need to have be livable future people.
Okay.
We played this saw this clip on the show last night, Studos America, by the way, 8 p.m.
Eastern on blazetv.com slash Glenn or on youtube.com/slash studios America or on podcast.
Check it out.
And we played this
clip of this crazy, crazy person just screaming and just thinking, like, like the real risk here is you being out screaming now
with no protection.
Like, this is the time that you probably want to be inside.
You can scream about climate change later if you really want to.
Oh, we have the clip here.
Let's listen to it.
This is not normal!
We must breathe clean air!
We must live life like normal, livable future
people!
Normal, livable future people.
I love that phrase, and I want to keep using it.
Because it's true, Pat, we must live like normal, livable future people.
Well, I've been saying that for years.
People ignored it because I'm not a female screaming in Times Square.
In a bikini.
Yeah.
And, you know, know, I got
people do tend to listen to women in bikinis more than you, I will say.
You know, the problem is
they have, the left has done this to people like her, you know, to our youth who think that we've only got eight years left because four years ago the catastrophic prediction was extinction level catastrophe within 12 years.
Well, now we're down to about eight.
And so they've done this their whole lives to these kids in school And they scared the crap out of them.
Their fear-mongering worked.
And so now this is what, this is what you have.
This is the result of that.
This is how it works.
And it scares the hell out of people.
You know, it's easy to sit here and mock them for calling themselves normal, livable future people, which you should do.
But also,
the reality has to hit us at some point that these are people who are now maybe 20 years old.
but were 10 years ago 10 years old.
And they were getting hit in the face with this every single day at school by their dumb parents, probably, by certainly by the media, telling them that catastrophe was around the corner at any moment and everyone is out to kill them.
Well, yeah, that's what you turn into when you feel like your life has been threatened for 10 years, from the time that you're 10 years old to the time that you're 20.
Yes, you're going to be an insane person on the street screaming about normal, livable future people.
Yes, that is the result of all of that.
Yes.
So we need to stop that immediately.
Let me at least attempt to give some context on these fires because we got this from everybody yesterday.
You know, Justin Trudeau, year after year with climate change, we're seeing more and more intense wildfires and they're going to start happening in places where they don't normally.
Of course, you know, if anyone's to blame here, it's probably Justin Trudeau because he's done such a terrible job in a myriad of ways.
But I will say,
of course he's going to blame climate change.
ABC News, how Canada's wildfires and air quality warnings are connected to climate change.
Washington Post, smoke brings a warning.
There's no escaping climate change's threat to earth.
Come on.
Let's see.
The Guardian, Canada's wildfires are part of our new climate reality.
Experts and officials say.
So experts are saying it.
Which experts?
Just experts.
Which officials?
Just officials.
Experts and officials.
Then you've got Alberta is on fire, but climate change is an election taboo, which is fascinating because all I hear are Democrats talking about climate change all the time.
How is it taboo?
Taboo.
They talk about it all the time.
So you look at the pictures and they're pretty dramatic, right?
You see that.
And it is understandable that people would ask questions when
the whole sky is orange all of a sudden.
But this happened back with the Australia situation back in 2019, 2020.
We mentioned this a little bit yesterday.
The historical burn levels are down dramatically since
really since the 1960s when it comes to burn.
And you'd think, okay, well, this is the time that global warming was supposed to be kicking in.
We were told that it was unprecedented in 2020 and
2019, 2020, the amount of burn that went on in Australia.
But no, actually, it was one of their lowest on record, below average.
And one of the arguments they make is, well, it's going to get worse later on.
And there are some models that show that it will get a little bit worse later on.
However, when you look at that in comparison, you know, the historical burn levels used to be about 12%
of Australia would burn on a daily basis or a yearly basis, which is incredible to think about.
I mean, these things happen all the time.
These fires happen all the time and they burn out of control all the time.
Usually they're affecting like bears in the woods.
When they affect people, people tend to notice.
But the increase on the climate model is like 1%.
We've dropped by
about two-thirds since the old days.
And this is in Australia.
The models show it increasing by about 1.
Now, are they going to be right?
I'm going to tell you right now, I don't think they're going to be right.
I think they've overstated the case here.
But even if they are right, it's still much, much better than it was.
And that's because of capitalism.
It's because of technology.
It's because we've developed so many ways to push back against these fires.
Now, you may say, as some would, that maybe you're just talking about Australia because we know how many more fires there are here all across the world.
The globe is ablaze, Pat.
However, when you look at the, this is not from me, this is from scientific studies,
which goes back to global historical reconstruction of fire areas,
areas that have dealt with
wildfires, and also satellite measurements that we have today.
And what we've seen is a dramatic decrease in the past century when it comes to wildfires.
Global burned area from 1901 to 2020 is down by 70%.
I mean, I'm eyeballing it here, but about 70%.
Another paper in Nature talks about the historical simulation into the modern measurement techniques shows a drop in every measure as far as area burned across the world.
Oh, in every measure.
In every measure.
Is all, though.
I mean, you can't,
okay.
You can't get any.
Is that the best stat you have?
Just down in all measures?
Just all of them.
And
this is the story over and over again.
And it's tough to talk about
random studies and charts and stuff, particularly on radio.
But let me give you this.
This is from the, and I know this is something that you subscribe to and you read this article, Global Trends in Wildfire and Its Impacts, Perceptions versus Realities in a Changing World.
I know that was something you've...
A lot of times I wait for the swimsuit issue, but I I didn't this year because it was just so compelling.
It was so compelling.
Okay, well, I'm going to bore you with this quote.
All right.
But
many people may not subscribe.
So let me give this to you.
Many consider wildfire as an accelerating problem with widely held perceptions both in the media and scientific papers of increasing fire occurrence, severity, and resulting losses.
However, Important exceptions aside, the quantitative evidence available does not support these perceived overall trends.
Instead, global area burned appears to have overall declined over past decades, and there is increasing evidence that there is less fire in the global landscape today than centuries ago.
Perhaps rather than a wildfire problem that has worsened globally in recent decades, the negative and sometimes tragic consequences of fire themselves may be gaining wider public attention and therefore recognition.
The fact that nowadays, latest news reports about disasters from around the world are readily available to large parts of the population may be a contributing factor.
What is not spreading equally is the recognition that fire is a fundamental natural ecological event in many of our ecosystems and only a quote problem end quote where we choose to inhabit these fire-prone regions or we humans introduce it to non-fire adapted ecosystems.
The wildfire problem is essentially more a social than a natural one.
That is not a
borderline comment.
That is really, really clear.
Our perceptions of these fires are obviously with all the coverage, we see them more, we experience them more.
Sometimes they get closer to our buildings.
likely because we build more buildings.
We expand.
We go into these areas that used to burn regularly.
We didn't notice them.
Now we're closer to them than we do.
But the other huge issue is that we've got so much more access to the information.
Exactly.
We hear about it more.
We see it more.
Because of Twitter, because of Facebook, because of 24-hour cable news coverage on a million different networks.
We just hear about it all the time.
We hear about it constantly.
And the central part of this is fires are down.
They're down.
Down.
Down.
They're happening less frequently.
They're passing,
they're affecting
fewer Americans and global citizens.
One of the things that you see is that, you know, even though they are, of course, because we're expanding our footprint as to where we live, they're closer and closer to areas that we inhabit at times, but we're putting them out faster.
We're adapting to this.
This is what happens over long periods of time.
But the circle of grift is there for the Democrats.
And they keep doing it over and over again.
They say, you know, you got to vote Democrat.
Why?
Well, climate change.
It's out of control.
It's a catastrophe.
Well, okay, we voted you in.
Has it stopped?
Well, no, it's even worse than we thought.
Well, what do we do about that?
We got to do something.
What do we do?
We got to vote Democrat.
Why?
Climate change.
Has it stopped?
No, it's even worse than we thought.
Now what?
Do something.
What do we do?
Vote Democrat.
Why?
Climate change.
Has it stopped?
No, it's even worse than we thought.
And on and on and on and on and on.
How does anybody fall for this crap?
It's the same circular argument they use with poverty, with
ethnicity, race,
percentages of poor people.
All of it comes back to that same circular argument.
Same thing.
Amazing.
Because no matter how many times you vote them in, they will say the problem has not stopped and it's worse than we thought.
And that's why you really need us.
Send us your money.
Vote for us.
I mean, this is the sad thing is it works.
It works.
It works.
Especially works in big cities.
Yep.
Where over and over again, these cities that are just disasters
that have been voting in the same people for 70 years,
100 years in some cases,
a century without a Republican mayor.
And they're like, what's going on?
There's a lot of problems here.
What do we do?
I don't know.
I guess we should vote Democrat again.
We wouldn't accept this in any other walk of life.
If this was a sports team we were talking about, hey, why are they one in 23 every year?
I don't know.
The problem's really bad.
So we, you know, we better.
Well, it could be because they're punting on a second down every drive.
Well, what do we do?
Punt earlier.
Punt on first down.
Would that work for the coach on that team?
I don't think so.
He'd be fired.
I think so.
Which is what we need to do for our leader.
All right.
More coming up in one minute.
All right.
Let's talk about the Tuttle Twins.
They've got a new American history book for kids that's out, and you're going to love it.
The Tuttle Twins want to send your family to Boston for a historical vacation.

They just don't, they're never going to do it.
You know that.
But Tuttle Twins, American History books do.
And here's the thing.
Your kids are actually going to like these books.
It's unlike many of the history books out there.
Your kids will actually like the Tuttle Twins books.
They'll actually want to read them.
And they'll learn things about our history that, man, are incredibly important.
Plus, you might go to Boston to check out all the historical sites for a great vacation getaway.

Patton Stew for Glenn today.
You know, we heard in the beginning, you know, we've got these Biden situations that are mostly being ignored by the mainstream media.
And meanwhile, they've indicted Donald Trump on seven charges of the Espionage Act.
And some of the things that Biden is being accused of right now, and they supposedly have evidence of, you know, they finally got this document that the FBI said didn't exist at first.
Yeah, there's no document about
that form that they're talking about trying to get
about the whistleblower informing on Biden receiving a $5 million bribe by a foreign agent for maybe
policy changes or policy decisions.
So, first of all, they don't have an, there is no document like that.
It doesn't exist.
And Christopher Wrines to spew that lie for weeks, if not months.
And then finally, okay, yes, it does exist and we'll let you look at it.
But
it certainly isn't real.
Are we supposed to believe that?
Now, the document was provided by somebody who supposedly is pretty credible
as far as being an informant.
And now
they paid them, right?
Yeah.
There's a $200,000 payment to this informant.
Now, you don't just, they don't willy-nilly.
$200,000.
It's a lot.
Yes.
So they must have bought into it, and it must be accurate.
So after weeks of refusing to even admit it existed, this FD 1023 record, the FBI finally caved in and is now allowing all members of the Oversight and Accountability Committee to review the record.
And we'll find out, hopefully, soon what the details on some of this are.
But
it's been amazing.
And thank goodness for Representative Comer to have been pushing this all this time.
He and
Marjorie Taylor Greene and
other people who are in the Republican Party and are going forward despite the fact that everybody's calling them conspiracy theorists and
they're just trying to persecute this president because
it's party bias on and on and on.
And yet they keep going forward.
I've been pretty impressed with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I wasn't a huge fan at the beginning, but she's done some really good things and has really stuck to this.
And she talked about
some of the evidence that they have against Biden and
the
Biden family.
One of the things that's being said now is that they've received so much money and there are so many separate bank accounts, it would take them 10 years to track all of it down.
That's pretty astounding.
If that's accurate.
Because Biden asked, where's the money?
Where's the money?
Yes.
Where's my?
Well, that's what we're trying to figure out right now.
Yeah.
But you're asking us where you're where you put the money?
Apparently, you put it in so many places that it's going to take them a while.
And that's his to track it all.
Look, I don't actually have this money, right?
Yeah.
Now, of course, he's very, very wealthy.
It would be hard to really decipher.
You wouldn't necessarily notice it like a person coming from the streets and all of a sudden he's living in a mansion.
He already has a lot of money.
The fact that he's added to that is not going to be incredibly shocking.
He has three homes, I think.
He's got the one in, you know, obviously the main house in Delaware.
They've got one on the beach, I think, Rehoboth.
So he's got that one.
And then I think there's a third, but he's got some nice places to live in addition to the White House, which is,
you know, it's tough to get by on that crappy place.
It's only 53,000 square feet.
I don't even know how you
do it.
That's that.
Well, maybe you can cool the harshness of all of that lack of space with
your son selling $750,000 paintings.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That'll help.
Right.
That'll help.
A little bit.
Yeah.
I mean, a little bit.
It's not going to take care of the problem entirely.
No, of course not.
It does help just a bit.
Where's the money?
Where's the money?
The Glenn Back Program.
You've heard Glenn say plenty of times that dog food is dead food.
Unfortunately, that's true.
That's because nutrition isn't brown.
Good nutrition is green.
The founder of Rough Greens,
naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black, suggested that I remind all of you, as Glenn's listeners, that Rough Greens is not a dog food and not a medicine.
It's a blend of live and 100% natural nutrients, which is exactly what your dog needs.
It'll get rid of their bad breath.
It'll stop their itching and scratching.
It improves energy, helps with their shine, so many different things.
And Dr.
Black is so convinced, I mean, really convinced that this is going to help your dog too, and that your dog will like this food, that he's offering you a free jumpstart trial bag so your dog can try it out first.
Now,
I don't know of any dogs.
Well, I know of one dog.
It was Keith's dog, apparently turned up its nose at this.
But the only one.
My dog won't eat the food without it on there.
Stu's dog loves it.
Glenn's dog loves it.
Get a free jumpstart trial bag to see if yours will love it as well.
All you have to do is pick up the shipping on it.

Patton Stewart Glenn today, 888727BECK.
Apparently, there's this kid, 10-year-old kid, that people are calling Baby Grunk.
Yes.
He's sweeping the internet.
He's making waves on TikTok,
and he's kind of gone viral.
viral.
I had just heard about him from YouTube moments ago, and I looked him up online, and
it looks like the kid already has multiple tats all over his body at 10.
I don't know if they're real tats or if they're
temporary.
Something temporary?
I don't know.
But it's a fascinating thing for multiple reasons.
10 years old.
I have an 11-year-old son who's playing, you know, he's a good baseball player.
I've got a tournament coming up next week.
I'm going to be on vacation going to that.
It's fun.
I love watching my kid play sports, both of them.
Yeah.
I mean, there's nothing better.
Nothing better than that.
Is there fun?
There's nothing better.
You know, the thing that you love about sports is like, oh, you watched your favorite player hit a home run.
Well, like, you know, Zach and Ainsley are my two kids.
They're my favorite players by a really big margin.
Like, they're my favorite players of all time.
Yeah.
And I love going to watch them play because, you know, it's just the greatest.
I love sports anyway.
And this just makes it even better.
And so, of course, you cheer your kids on.
You do.
So baby Gronk is crossing an interesting line, some are saying,
because basically they're turning him into an internet personality, right?
Like they are, he's getting pictures with all these famous people, influencers, celebrities and such.
He's visiting colleges.
He's 10 years old.
He's visiting colleges.
I don't think that's even legal according to the NCAA right now.
An official visit would be illegal.
I mean, going and getting your picture taken from a celebrity there.
Right.
Like he just went to LSU and got his picture taken with Olivia Dunn, who's a big deal right now.
Yeah.
She's a gymnast.
Gymnast at LSU.
And she's somewhat attractive.
Some have noticed that.
She has a lot of money.
But people said
that she was somewhat attractive.
She was in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This is the most recent.
Oh, she was even in Sports Illustrated.
Yeah, she's that big of a deal.
She's one of the biggest.
What is it?
NIL, Pat.
You know this better than I do.
You follow college
more than I do.
NIL is like where the college athletes can now get paid, and she's getting paid.
For their name, image, and likeness.
Right.
And IL.
And so
she has maybe had more money than anybody.
And, of course, she's a gymnast, not a normal sport where you'd be getting these huge payouts.
But she's getting them because she has a massive social media following.
And she's somewhat attractive.
I guess some.
Some upset.
I mean, you can't even say Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue does not guarantee attractiveness at this point.
We got to be clear about it.
It sure does.
Sometimes it doesn't even necessarily indicate that it's a woman.
Right.
Right.
We've noticed a couple times.
Some of them have a package.
Some of them.
Where a package usually isn't with a sports illustrated swimsuit model.
So no guarantees
here.
But yes,
she's a big, big-time internet influencer type that's supposed to be.
She does not have a package.
I doubt she does.
Yes.
I'm going to doubt that.
So,
although
if she does,
I got to say I've been fooled.
You know, she does not look like she does.
So anyway, the situation here is what's fascinating is building your 10-year-old into an internet celebrity, good idea or a bad idea?
You know, is her,
what do they call the moms who push their daughters?
Like stage moms?
Stage moms.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stage moms.
Is he a field dad?
That's kind of like a new version of that, I guess.
Right.
Yeah.
Except obviously the payoff here is real.
I mean, going to these schools, apparently he is a very good athlete.
He's from the Dallas area, too.
Oh.
This kid.
Oh.
Which is where we happen to be broadcasting from.
But his dad is, you know, saying he was a music producer.
He was an athlete.
He knows all these athletes.
He works out with them and he's got all these connections.
And he's going to promote his son in this way to make him into a celebrity.
His argument is basically, you know, look, I think he's a really good athlete.
He may make it, but he may not.
And I recognize that.
What we're trying to do is basically build him something if it doesn't work.
This is like the insurance policy.
If football doesn't work out.
If football doesn't work out, he's still a celebrity.
He's got something to fall back on, a big social media account that can turn into a lot of money.
They're saying he's making low six figures right now.
Oh, wow.
As a 10-year-old on this, his dad says he's putting every dime of it away.
Again, like you get these, you know, you don't know, of course, but that's what he's saying.
He says, you know, a lot of people look at it and like, oh, this man is crazy or he doesn't have real expectations for his son.
I do.
I say he may not make it.
So, you may as well have $500,000 or a million dollars to start your life out.
He may get a scholarship or free school by playing sports, but sports isn't everything.
It goes away.
Sometimes it isn't God's plan for you.
I tore my ACL.
I didn't make it.
All I had was a sad story.
And so he's like, hey, why not exploit this?
Make it into a big thing.
So they're posting constantly.
They've made him into this figure.
He's got all these sponsorships.
He's got over 300,000 followers.
This says 700,000 now.
700,000.
Yeah.
700,000 followers already.
Jeez.
That's not bad.
Not bad at all.
Not bad.
It's a lot.
Now, I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this particular phenomenon, but there's a phenomenon called the child star phenomenon.
And we've noted over the years that occasionally kids that get incredibly famous wind up being really terrible adults.
I don't know, and I hope, of course, that this is not the case with this particular young guy.
He seems like he's a really good kid, actually um really disciplined uh you know seems really respectful and and and everything so this may be it may not be one of those stories i hope it's not um but it is risky and i i don't know like i think we've come to that place now where this is so common that everyone wants this fame so much that
this isn't really all that controversial to make your kid into an internet sports celebrity at 10 because i don't care how good he is at at football.
He would not be an internet celebrity at 10 years old if not for his father posting this stuff on Instagram all the time, as his dad would admit.
I mean, his dad seems really excited about what he's been able to accomplish for his kid.
It's just a,
I don't know, it's a road that I would not want to put my kids on.
You know, I don't care how good my kid was at baseball.
I would not be wanting, you know, I posted
one picture recently of him.
He hit his first home run at practice recently.
Oh, that's right.
In batting practice.
And he's the first one on his team to hit a home run.
Very excited about it.
I mean, he was thrilled.
And I was so thrilled.
Oh.
Posted it on social media.
Everyone gets to see it.
But like, I'm not giving you 900 updates of his day-to-day life.
Like, he's got to be able to live as a kid, whether he becomes the greatest baseball player of all time or he's just
a normal kid.
It's got nothing to do with that.
That's, I don't care.
Right.
Like, I don't care if he winds up being a great athlete or not.
I would love it because I like sports.
But like, that's not the goal for you as a parent, right?
Like, if your goal is solely sports, you're going to wind up with a kid who has priorities in the wrong direction, probably.
Yeah.
Hopefully that's not the case with this kid.
But, you know.
I'm reading this headline about him.
Who is baby Gronk?
And this is from NBC News.
Did Livy, meaning Olivia Dunn, riz him up?
What I'm.
unfamiliar with the term riz.
What is that?
I've heard it recently.
It's a new slang slang term that you're supposed to know.
Okay.
Apparently.
Let me see.
I'll give you the
definition.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Here we go.
Riz
is a slang term often used to describe someone's ability to flirt and to be charming, especially for their verbal communication while pursuing a romantic interest.
So the question really then is whether Olivia Dunn
flirted with a 10-year-old?
Is that
sound?
I mean, are we trying trying to call Libby Dunn a pedophile?
What are we doing to her?
She seems delightful.
I don't know why.
She does.
She said she said he was cute.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I don't think it was a sexual intro.
No, probably not.
Honestly, at this point, you know, would we be surprised in this society?
I mean, we just had a lot of fun.
She wants nothing surprising.
I mean, because Libby Dunn, I think one of her big,
she's an Instagram,
Instagram and Snapchat and TikTok and all that stuff.
But, like, did you see this story in the Wall Street Journal about the pedophile rings they keep breaking up on Instagram?
Where,
did you read the story, Pat?
It's really incredible.
They had investigators who went on to
Instagram and
went through, I mean, some of the most revolting hashtag searches and all this stuff to try to find if they were.
exploiting children on the on these websites.
And more than any of the other social media sites, they found it there where people weren't posting
child porn on these websites, but they were basically advertising it.
Like
they were posting menus of things you could buy.
They describe in the story
children who seem to be running their own accounts to sell themselves to potential people trying to buy child pornography, all these crazy things.
And like, obviously, totally different than what we're talking about here, thankfully.
But like, there is just this weird,
this society is turning in such a strange place.
You know, it really is.
You know, and I think, I don't know if anybody understands it better than people like
yourself, Pat, and
me growing up in this stupid industry that we work in.
Because, you know, look, radio is.
If you're in it, you realize after a short time in it, most of the people involved are insane.
Most people who work in this industry are crazy.
And I don't know why that is,
but I have a couple theories, which largely it's like a lot of people
who, particularly the people who are on the air, and many of them are my friends, and I will tell them to this to their face, they're nuts.
And one of the reasons they're nuts is they spend most of their life trying to figure out how to be as enticing as possible to others, right?
Like you are constantly trying to say a thing, craft your words in a way that will be most interesting to others.
You're, you're constantly trying to impress others.
You're looking for their attention.
You get a quarterly report or a monthly report of how many people have tuned in to listen to you.
And you figure out how many people show up at your events and you see how many people follow you on social media.
And that just...
It adds weird incentives into a person's life, right?
When that's your job, when your job is essentially constantly striving for popularity, it's difficult to maintain principles.
It's difficult to care about things that actually matter because your job is to get as many people as possible to listen to your stupid voice.
Right.
So
when we decided as a society one day to unleash this industry of constantly looking for others' approval on the entire world via social media, there have been some negative consequences associated with that decision.
And it's something you wind up noticing on a daily basis.
The incentives that are brought along with running a social media account and running your life to try to maximize likes are not healthy practices.
A lot of times, as we see on these services, it's wearing very few articles of clothing, particularly for women.
And for men, a lot of times it seems to be bragging about how much money they have.
It seems to be the other trend out there.
These things are not healthy pursuits.
They're supposed to be thinking of higher foundations than that.
And I can understand the temptation, obviously, if there is money in it if you succeed.
But man, I don't know.
As a dad, how would you feel about that with your kid, Pat?
One of your 46 kids.
It's 47 now.
Oh, it is.
Congratulations.
I just checked in with my wife.
We just had our
47.
Triple 8727 back.
All right.
Jim Rogers, he's the co-founder of one of our favorite management funds, the Soros Management Fund.
He says that a bear market is coming and the U.S.
dollar's global dominance is under threat.
Is the bear market coming?
Because I don't know.
Maybe Glenn took a vacation and it's his fault.
That's probably it, at least.
Since their firm is notorious for crashing the pound sterling, you should take heed when Rogers is talking about a currency collapse.
Rogers says he's bracing for the biggest market downturn in eight decades and that commodities are the best hedges against inflation.
Also, he owns silver and gold currently.
You should be extremely worried, he said.
If you're not, you need to know what's going on.
I think something bad in the currency market is going to happen in the next two or three years.

So, Pat, I know you're not,
I don't want to demean you, but you're not really one of the people.
You know, you're not down among the masses anymore.
You know,
I don't think you're with it enough to really understand the way kids talk today.
And that's why I want to inform you, and maybe a few members of the audience what Riz really means.
Because I sounded so unhip now.
Yeah, you didn't understand.
I'm not knowing what Riz was.
It was embarrassing, frankly.
I'm sorry.
And this is what everyone, everyone, I use this word 50, 75 times a day now.
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Ever since I heard about it.
If you use it that much, you should own it.
Right.
It should be my own.
You should really be paid royalties.
That's a good point.
When others use the word Riz.
I like that.
And I was like, well, where do I go to find out about this word?
Because, you know, as a really just cool guy that I am,
I
just am in step with the youth of today.
And that's why I went to USA Today to read about what Riz is.
Okay.
What does Riz mean?
Here's the definition of social media slang term and how to use it.
Riz is a slang term often used to describe someone's ability to flirt and be charming, especially for their verbal communication while pursuing a romantic interest.
The term can be used as a noun or a verb depending on the sentence.
Now, Pat, let me give you some example sentences of this.
Marco just tried to riz up Lena.
I don't think it went well.
Tried to Riz up.
Tried to riz up Lena.
Okay.
All right.
They've got this unspoken Riz.
Everything about them just exudes charm.
And an unspoken Riz.
An unspoken Riz.
Okay.
Another one, I heard him practicing his Riz for when he hit the bar later.
These are example sentences from USA Today.
So, Riz can really mean whatever you want it to.
Apparently, I would say if I were to classify this back to, you know, as a Gen Xer, I would say it's like how it used to be he's got game.
Uh-huh.
It seems to be like what it is.
Yeah.
Like, I have absolutely no game, none at all, and never did.
So, I would assume now I have no Riz
and never have.
That's, I think, the way that works, Pat.
Okay.
Well,
we'll work on it during the weekend.
And I'll report back to you on Monday.
We're going into it.
We have a weekend Riz camp and we're going to learn all about it.
We're going to a think tank to tell us exactly how to
Riz up people that we come in contact with.
So by Monday, we'll be Rizzing you like you've never been Rizz before.
Assuming we're using the word wrong.
If we're using it, if we were using that right, great.
If we were using it wrong, we apologize for whatever we we just said.
All right, have a great weekend, so you've back here Monday.
