Show starts here in a second.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day I've turned around.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

Worst speech

ever given.

Ever.

By anyone.

We'll prove it.

Coming up in one minute.

Now that's how you start a show right there.

Right there.

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

She says, I was actually skeptical that this would have any effect on my dogs, but the difference is unbelievable.

I ordered this when my 11-year-old dog had to have surgery and wasn't doing well.

Within a week's time, she was playing like a pup.

I'm totally amazed at how much better both of my dog's digestion has been as well.

Thank you, Rough Greens.

Yeah, Rough Greens.

It's not a dog food.

It's a supplement developed by a naturopathic doctor, Dennis Black, that you sprinkle on the dog food.

And it's chocked full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the good stuff.

You name it.

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

And most dogs love it and will go crazy for it.

Try it out with your dog and you'll see.

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

They have a special deal for you.

Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck, and they're going to give you a first trial bag free.

That's right, free.

All you have to do is pay shipping.

Give them a call today for Rough Greens.

Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888727, B-E-C-K.

Look, it's, it's, I mean,

you knew it was going to be a bad speech because they told us.

What tipped you off?

Well, first of all, they said, yeah, we're going to talk about all the freedoms being taken by the MAGA Republicans.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Am I in another country?

Do the MAGA Republicans have any power?

What power do MAGA Republicans have these days?

That's a really good question.

What power do any Republicans have these days?

I haven't noticed any.

And really, they have none.

They have.

They're in the

minority in the Congress.

No presidency.

They don't have the executive office.

The only thing you could possibly point to for any source of power for Republicans right now is the Supreme Court, which

are not Mongol Republicans.

These are Federalist Society Republicans.

So I don't know where...

The whole thing, the speech, as you point out, is the worst speech ever given by anyone in history.

But like, it's all premised on a giant lie and is all designed to get to a very specific political goal that we'll get to here coming up.

But it was, it was a, it was an odd piece of stagecraft as well, where it seemed like he was standing in front of the Soviet Union flag.

Yeah, or hell.

He was standing in front of the gates of hell.

What are you trying to do here?

What image are you trying to project?

It was very strange.

Other than the Marines, which was super inappropriate, with a political speech like that was Blatantly political.

And you've got the U.S.

Marine Corps standing guard in the background.

Outside of them, though, that red highlight and the whole setting for it was just creepy and evil looking.

And I've been calling it the birth of a nation speech because...

I don't know.

Like, just from a stagecraft perspective, number one, you have this weird red aura

that permeated every camera shot.

I guess they're claiming that if you zoom back, you'd see red, white, and blue.

But every shot of the speech was...

It was framed in red, just in red.

It looked like he was blood red.

In between the Soviet Union and hell, somewhere in between there is where he was making the speech.

And number two, he's calling it Soul of a Nation.

Now, when you hear Soul of a Nation, the first thing that popped in my mind was Birth of a Nation.

The other Democratic president from back in the day when

Joe Biden was in his 60s, I think, Woodrow Wilson,

who embraced the KKK, the former name of Soul of a Nation was the Klansman, or excuse me, birth of a nation was the Klansman.

That was the other name for the movie.

So this is something that immediately, if you have any sense of history, makes you think, wait a minute, why are the soul of a nation?

Like, it's just like a

weird framing of the speech.

He already made a speech this week, a quote-unquote major speech.

He's doing another one now.

And

you'd think after these two, maybe they'd stop.

Maybe they'd think, you know, maybe no more speeches until after November because this was not good, Pat.

No, not good.

Was really bad.

In fact,

some have called it the worst speech ever given in history by anybody.

I've heard two specific people mention that framing, and I think it's accurate.

It's hard to believe that this guy has a 40% approval rating.

Like, how is it so high?

I know.

Like, what has he done for anyone to approve what he's doing in the office?

Honestly, I'd be hard-pressed to understand.

I mean, they claim that they've really

done wonders with the economy.

We're hearing the numbers come out from last month on the job situation, 315,000 more jobs.

So that's going to be put in, you know, they're going to take credit for that.

It was a relatively good number, though the unemployment rate did go up, which is not normally something you brag about.

Right.

It's relatively low.

To be fair, it is relatively low.

And the and the fact that gas prices have gone up to the highest levels ever, and now they've backed off that a little bit.

They take credit for that.

This is an interesting strategy from the left, by the way, which is make things the worst they've ever been, then brag about when you turn them into the second worst they've ever been.

Yes, right?

Like, that's what they're doing with gas prices and inflation and all these things.

Okay, hey, it was 9.1, now it's 8.9.

We're doing a great job.

You know, they try to act as if

the gas price thing going from $5 to $4 was, I mean, CNN framed it as a raise for every American.

My gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

It's unbelievable.

We are still at a point where we are all stunned by $4 a gallon gas.

That's not supposed to happen in this country.

And they're bragging about it, saying it's a raise.

It's like a tax cut for everybody.

And then they spend stuff, all this money, and they just dump money out the door.

They sell the Inflation Reduction Act as if it would reduce inflation, which of course it will not.

Then they also sell it as if it's a deficit reduction act.

We're going to lower the debt $300 billion

over

10 years.

And then before 10 days occur, they've spent all of that money.

All of it.

Plus hundreds of billions of dollars.

And then claim that he's lowering the deficit and

lowering the debt.

Yeah.

Wow.

I have to say my favorite one, Pat,

is the student loan package because number one, didn't even go through Congress, didn't even bother with it.

He's going to spend,

it depends on whose estimate you believe.

The conservative estimates are around $400 to $500 billion.

Others are up to a trillion dollars.

I don't know.

My guess is it's going to be closer to a trillion.

Because of some of the incentives packed into the plan, it's not just, hey, we're going to quote unquote relieve debt.

We're going to cancel debt.

That's not what's happening, of course.

Other people are paying for it.

But it's not just that.

It's also changing fundamentally the structure of these loans where you can't, now no one will pay more than 5% of their income

for

a college loan.

And you might say, well, that sounds great.

I would like to pay 5% instead of 10.

I think it's limited at 10% now.

But think of the incentives that that leads to.

If you're a college, if you're going to a college, why do do you care what it costs?

If you were limited to 5% of your income, no matter what the situation, why would you care what it costs?

If it winds up working and you get a million dollar a year job, right, you might have to pay a lot, but at that point, you're probably not going to care.

You're making a million dollars a year.

If you're only making 50 grand a year and you're around the average income, well, it's only going to be 5%.

So it's not really going to ever hit you.

Basically, this

it lowers the incentives for universities to keep costs low because they know

if

they can charge everybody $500,000, right?

It doesn't matter because the government is going to have to make up everything above 5%.

So I think the trillion-dollar estimate is closer to reality, may very well go higher than that.

And when you talk about spending all of that money, it's three times the amount of money they said they were going to save in the Inflation Reduction Act, which was never real, but that's what they were selling the package on.

And it's going to, of course,

increase inflation at some level.

Might not change the entire picture of inflation, but it's going to do that.

All these things add up to

an attempt to buy voters

with

other people's money.

And you spend and you spend and you spend like this,

and you act as if people aren't going to notice.

The media is going to do its best to hide this stuff, but I just don't, I can't imagine the American people are this dumb.

Are they, Pat?

I hope we're not at that point.

I'm going to find out in November.

We're going to find out.

We're going to find out.

That is what.

And it's so critical.

It's so critical this upcoming election.

Every election is the most important election we've ever had, but this one,

I mean, I think our entire future depends upon it.

The Republicans have to win back.

At least the House and probably the Senate, too.

I mean, it doesn't look very good for the Senate now.

I just saw that there was this, what, 75% chance

they keep the majority?

Yeah, I'm a little more optimistic, honestly, than that.

And that's weird for me.

And it is weird for you.

Anyone who's ever listened to this show knows that I'm not afraid to bring the little black rain cloud to the party.

We got an outside barbecue.

All the tables are set up outside, and I will bring the thunderstorms.

I will do it.

I don't care.

I will do it.

Because, you know, I just try to find out what's going on and try to predict these things as best as possible.

But, and, and, and look, there's a lot of smart people who are out there saying this.

I think Nate Silver is something like 75% right now.

Uh, 538.

Be where I got that statistic.

That estimate is, you know, and they're, look, they're, they're looking at what the picture is right at this moment, which is what they should be doing, right?

I do think, though, what's not really talked about yet is I think

the Dobbs decision and some other factors on the left have have activated them earlier than Republicans.

Republicans are not in election mode yet.

There's a lot of factors.

Like Blake Masters is a good example of this in Arizona.

He's a candidate.

He's not a well-known figure yet in Arizona.

He just got the nomination.

Most people have probably never heard him speak, honestly, in Arizona.

And

he's, I think, a candidate that when he's in front of people is going to come off pretty well.

Like, he's not

come off as a crazy person.

He's not come off as some guy who's screaming about Dominion voting machines every day.

That's not who he is.

They're trying to paint him that way, but that's not who he is.

And I think when Republicans are engaged in this election, that race is going to tighten.

And we've seen that tightening already down to about four points.

Same thing in Pennsylvania.

You've got a candidate who can barely walk, who can barely speak.

God love him.

I hope he's healthy and lives a long, long time.

Just not in the U.S.

Senate.

No, because he doesn't seem to...

be.

He's already a socialist.

He's already Bernie Sanders with a hurdle.

He's a terrible candidate and an embarrassment if Pennsylvania were to elect him.

That being said, he also can't do the job right now.

He can't.

He can't do a debate.

His own team is admitting they are unable to debate right now because he can't process language.

Yeah, but when Oz says something about that, oh, you're attacking a man's health.

Oh, that is so awful of you.

That's so typical of you,

you non-sympathetic Republicans.

Yeah.

You're all just hideous people.

Well, wait.

You have to have a certain level of health.

Yeah, you got to be able to do it.

In order to go to the U.S.

Senate.

It's an important job.

You should at least be able to speak.

Right.

I mean, we already have.

We have, you know, look, Diane Feinstein has like she is having massive problems in the shower.

Biden is having problems.

Biden has problems.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a lot of this, especially with Democrats right now.

Pelosi?

Pelosi?

I mean, there's a lot of it.

as we run through this list, I start to get really scared for the country.

But

Fetterman is, you know, look, he would be a terrible senator for Pennsylvania anyway.

He's having all these problems post-stroke.

He can't even do a debate.

You know, look, my thought was as Republicans get engaged in this race, start really paying attention to the election, the base starts caring more, people start looking honestly at the situation, not feeling,

you know, sympathy for John Fetterman, who's gone through a tough situation, but start actually analyzing who would be a good senator for the state of Pennsylvania, this race is going to tighten.

Now, I don't, you know,

I don't know that, you know, we've talked about Dr.

Oz.

I don't know that he's the greatest candidate in the world.

I think they had other options that would have made this race easier.

Yeah.

But that being said, when you look at Fetterman, my expectation was, you know, early October, late September, you'd start to see this race come together a lot closer from not 16, 14, 11 points, but something closer.

well the last two polls have showed Oz down only four and five it's already started to to tighten and what these analysts are looking at is are these special elections where there has been a democratic lean to several of these special elections but special elections can give you an insight as to what the the the tone of the election is, what's the climate of the election, which is the main thing that kind of you judge the House races on and some of the Senate races as well?

It can give you a picture of that.

But like

Democrats got, this is a weird way of saying this, but Democrats got a head start in their engagement this time

because of Dobbs.

Republicans were like excited, hey, this is a big win.

But it didn't excite them to get to the polls.

That was something they took as a victory.

There is a sect of

the Democratic Party who was very angry about the Roe versus Wade overturn and

went to the polls in bigger numbers than you'd expect in like Kansas, right?

I mean, like Kansas is a red state.

There's no reason

to believe that when Republicans are really engaged in an election in Kansas, they're going to lose it.

They just weren't engaged in that election.

It was too tight to the Dobbs decision, and that's what people were fired up about on the left, not the right.

So I think that's going to smooth out.

I think it's going to even out, and this is going to get a lot closer.

I do think Republicans' chances of taking the Senate are better than 25%, but they might not be better than 50.

And that's something, you know, we really have to consider because the judges are going to ride on that Senate.

You got to get control of the Senate too.

You can block the legislation in the House.

You can't block the judges.

We will get to some of this wonderful speech, just in case you missed it last night, coming up in 60 seconds.

Sometimes in life, the best thing you can do is learn the hard way.

We hope to not do that here in this country if we can avoid it.

But that's not the case when it comes to real estate transactions.

When you're trying to buy or sell a home or both, the truth is that the school of hard knocks is a thing to be avoided at all costs.

That's why years ago, Glenn started a business called Real Estate Agents I Trust.

They pair you up with the best real estate agents in your area so that you have a chance of having the best outcome possible.

Go through the roof.

It's a free service to you.

And when I, you know, we've been talking about these guys for a long time.

They do a fantastic job screening the agents, making sure wherever you live in the country, you have the best agent to buy or to sell.

You don't have to take my word for it, though.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, this speech last last night.

He said all week on my show that I know this is going to be just an agonizing, awful speech, but I underestimated it.

It was worse than that.

Just amazing.

Here's

a few of the comments that Joe Biden had and made, especially against MAGA Republicans,

trying to nullify the votes of 81 million people.

And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.

They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people.

This time, they're determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people.

There's a couple of things there.

You can hear the guy in the background doing the F.

Joe Biden thing.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, he must have been a long way off, but had a bullhorn.

And so it was picked up fairly clearly.

There's a lot of Let's Go Brandon chanting

as well.

Yeah, there was.

But

the MAGA Republicans are trying to nullify 81 million votes.

No, what they wanted to do, they did interrupt

the House procedure for

a short while.

But

what they wanted, I think, was

people to acknowledge that maybe there was some

fraud going on, and maybe we should have another recount of it.

I don't know that they ever wanted to overturn or nullify anybody's vote.

You could always find somebody that believes anything, right?

You can.

And like, look, if you want to look at groups like, you know, QAnon, for example, people who follow the QAnon thing, right?

Like, they're going to be more likely to want to do those types of things.

But talking about MAGA Republicans, what are we talking about here?

A good third of the Republican Party?

Yeah.

You know, I mean, you know, look, Donald Trump is going to, if he decides to run, going to walk into a 20-point lead in the primaries.

Easily.

Maybe more.

Maybe, maybe more.

I mean, we've seen some polls that would show it with more.

And that's, again, if Ron DeSantis runs, which he may not, if Donald Trump does, we'll see.

But if DeSantis doesn't run, he's up by, what, 40?

I think so.

What are you calling a MAGA Republican?

They're trying to take the

few hundred people that went into

the chamber and direct that toward

everybody else.

And

they're doing the same thing they're criticizing here.

They're trying to say 78 million votes or whatever it was

doesn't count.

Those people who voted for Donald Trump, they shouldn't count.

They're not Democratic.

They don't care.

They are hateful people who go, you know, try to overturn our democracy.

And then he's saying they're going to try to steal the election in advance.

Right?

Like he's doing the same thing he's criticizing Donald Trump of doing.

He's telling you in advance they're trying to steal the election.

Exactly.

Exactly.

If we lose, they stole it.

And by the way, something Democrats have done every single time a Republican's been elected to the president, at least in my lifetime.

They did it in 2000.

They did it in 2004.

They did it in 2016.

And they'll do it again in 2024 whenever they lose.

If a Republican wins.

Anybody remember selected, not elected?

We heard that for years.

Illegitimate president?

We heard that Trump was the whole time.

The Glenn Back Program.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Back Program.

Be back on Tuesday after the Labor Day weekend.

888-727-BECK.

So the speech last night, inconceivable, really, on so many levels.

Have you ever seen, I've never seen a president attack the American people the way Joe Biden did last night.

A big chunk of them, too.

This is not just saying,

this is not even Basket of Deplorables, right?

It's much worse.

Much, much worse.

Basket of Deplorables, you know, look, that was a big controversial moment.

But when you listen to the entire context, this is

a weird stance to take on conservative radio, but I'm going to go for it anyway.

When you listen to the entire context of Basket of Deplorables, what Hillary Clinton hamhandedly is attempting to do is separate out the extreme of the extreme

and

say that those people aren't like the rest of us Americans, but there's lots of Republicans that are fine and they're wonderful.

It's just those people way out there.

That's not what Joe Biden is doing.

No, it's not.

What Joe Biden is attempting to to do here

is to say basically all Trump voters are in this world.

Basically, that's what he says the whole time.

At the end, he kind of pays some lip service to.

Oh, I'm not talking about all Republicans.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Oh, okay.

All right.

After you just spent 24 minutes telling us how bad we are, now the last 30 seconds, you're going to go ahead and say, well, that's not all of them.

But I think it goes beyond borderline dangerous.

It was just a dangerous speech because what are people going to, who are they going to blame now?

They're going to look at like they're going to look at us and say, well, you're the MAGA Republican and you're a threat to the democracy.

So is somebody going to do something about that?

He asked them to stop them.

They've got to be stopped.

In what way?

How are you going to stop them?

What have you just inspired people to do here?

I mean, Republicans have been accused of inciting violence for a lot less than what he did last night.

A lot less.

But here he is talking about MAGA Republicans being a threat to the country.

And then somehow he's the president of all Americans.

Okay.

The Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.

And that is a threat to this country.

These are hard things.

But I'm an American president.

Not a president of Red America, blue America.

Really?

But of all America.

No, this is the United Project.

And I believe it's my duty, my duty to live with you, to tell the truth, no matter how difficult.

No matter how painful.

That would be interesting to hear.

And here, in my view, is what is true.

MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.

They do not believe in the rule rule of law.

They do not recognize the will of the people.

It's always so laughable when Democrats talk about the rule of law.

Oh, they care.

They're the people that want to defund the police.

Yeah.

Now, I know Biden is

realizing that

that polls poorly, so I shouldn't embrace it.

But open the border,

you know, when people do get arrested by the actual police that had been funded, you raise money to bail them out.

That's the democratic approach to rule of law.

Yeah.

And the vice president of the United States did just that.

She raised money for them.

Incredible.

He also talked about American democracy.

He used the word democracy 31 times in 24, 25 minutes.

31 times.

Knowing you very well.

Oh, that drove me out of my mind.

Out of my mind.

You've been, as long as I've known you, this hasn't bothered you.

Yes.

And I feel like now it bothers more people on the right.

Like you led the way on this one.

This was annoying you in like 2001.

It really was.

It really was, but it's gotten so intense lately because, man, they are really pounding that.

They're hammering away at democracy.

And we're talking about, of course, the use of democracy as opposed to what we actually have in this country, which is a constitutional republic that does have elements of democracy inside of it.

Yeah, it's a democratic republic.

However, what they're trying to say,

they're trying to get us used to the word democracy because what they're talking about is democratic socialism.

This is just code for democratic socialism.

And that's why they keep hammering it, hounding it about it all the time.

I mean, it's certainly how democratic socialists use the word democracy.

They intentionally, they know democratic socialism doesn't exactly test so well with audiences.

So they use it.

But democracy does.

So they use it in an interchangeable sort of way.

And the left has embraced that.

They've embraced that framing of this.

And, you know, it's the type of thing that when they say, well, the Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade.

But we looked at a poll that said that 54% of people support Roe versus Wade.

This is overturning our democracy.

No, that's not at all how this works.

Okay.

Our system of a constitutional republic has the Supreme Court that is part of the system, not some fake thing Republicans invented, but it's part of the system.

And when just because a bunch of people who don't know what Roe v.

Wade actually does, which we've covered in depth, think that they like it, that doesn't make it

anything to do with democracy.

That's just a poll.

Nor does that decision from the Supreme Court have anything to do with MAGA Republicans that he's blaming for taking away that right from women.

Right.

Wait, what are you talking about?

Republicans didn't make that decision.

The Supreme Court did.

Right.

Now, of course, Republicans had something to do with naming the justices that made that decision.

But again, those are, those are

fundamentally mainstream Republican nominees.

They were not.

Remember when Donald Trump was nominated and someone asked him, hey, who would you name to the Supreme Court?

He's like, my sister.

That was his initial answer back in like, you know, back in the day.

It's been a while.

Who is quite liberal?

Who is quite liberal, but a judge.

Right.

And he was like, I don't know, my sister does a good job.

You know, again, it wasn't a serious policy statement, but like,

you know, there are people you could point out to.

He didn't put Rudy Giuliani on the Supreme Court, right?

Right.

He put, he had a list of members of the Federalist Society.

The Federalist Society legitimately put together this list with people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.

These were,

you know, conservative nominees, yes, but nominees that were widely accepted

as part of the conservative legal movement long before MAGA even existed.

And you and I didn't even believe these appointees

would necessarily overturn Roe v.

Wade.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

And we've seen so many times they failed.

I thought the only one maybe that might have voted that way was Amy Coney Barrett.

Well, Clarence Thomas.

Well, no, I mean, of the new ones, okay.

Of the new ones.

Yeah, I wasn't sure.

I wasn't sure about Kavanaugh.

I wasn't either.

Or Gorsuch, necessarily.

Yeah, more sure about Gorsuch, but not entirely convinced.

We saw that Roberts flaked.

Yep.

Right?

So, you know, I mean, I knew, you know, you knew Alito and Thomas would be there, but with the new three, you didn't know.

And, you know, I was very, very, very, very pleased at those picks.

Less pleased about Kavanaugh, but overall, generally pleased with the picks that Donald Trump put in the Supreme Court.

And

these are people that, I mean, Brett Kavanaugh was talked about for this position before Donald Trump was even thought of, thinking about running for president in 2016.

Yeah.

Like

he was he was on that list.

Neil Gorsuch had been on a list for a long time.

Amy Coney Barrett was newer, but certainly within the tradition that you'd expect from the conservative movement going back half a century.

And the idea that these are MAGA people, first of all, it doesn't matter if they were or they weren't.

If they're on the court, that's the qualification.

Sonia Sotomayor is insane.

She is literally a terrible Supreme Court justice that has absolutely no business being on the Supreme Court, but she's on it.

Her vote counts just as much as everybody else.

That's not me.

I don't say democracy doesn't exist when she has a vote.

She gets to, she gets to go through this process.

Unfortunately, by the way, she's terrible.

I mean, at least Elena Kagan seems to have a head on her shoulders.

Sonia Sotomayor is absolutely terrible.

Yeah, you can be surprised with an Elena Kagan ruling once in a while.

It's not who she sides with on a ruling.

Sonia Sotomayor, never know.

You always know before the case goes there how she's going to vote and what she's going to do.

Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

She's going to say, what, you know what?

We know you're a liberal uncle.

What did he say on Twitter last week?

That's what Sonia Sotomayor is going to put in the ruling.

That's

completely disconnected or not.

Yeah.

Whatever that thing is, it's going to be in the middle of her ruling or more appropriately, her dissent.

And that is what's

good.

That's a good thing about our country.

It's the only thing.

The courts are the only thing holding us back right now.

Yeah.

You know, we had a president of the United States who said, I'm going to, I don't know,

ban evictions.

Like, wait, what?

You're going to overturn the real estate market?

What does that mean?

You can't do that.

And of course, the Supreme Court said, you know what?

You can't do that, obviously.

You can't do that.

And so he went back and said, yeah, I know the Supreme Court said.

I'm going to do it again.

Even though the Supreme Court said you can't do that, he said, I'm going to do it again.

Yeah, talking about rule of law.

What about

that's how America works?

When the Supreme Court says you can't do that, you can't do that.

They came out.

The Department of Education, Nancy freaking Pelosi, came out and said, no, the president does not have the power to just, you know, cancel a bunch of student loan debt.

That's 100% not in his power.

And you know what he said?

Until he does it.

Yeah, I did it.

And then they all change.

Yeah.

But you know what?

The court.

If they can get this to the court, I'm confident that they will overturn it, especially after the West Virginia ruling that just happened, where they said, look,

there's some leeway for the administrative state to make some of these maneuvers.

I don't particularly like that truth, but it is the way we've run this country for a while.

But if it's a major decision, you got to go through Congress.

That was basically what the West Virginia case said.

This one was related to global warming.

But it applies to everything they're trying to do.

The fact that this this guy would throw a trillion dollars of free spending without going to Congress in after that decision shows that he's a person who literally doesn't care about the rule of law.

He doesn't care about our structure of government.

And to me, this is much more precisely what the founders had in mind when they came up with the idea for impeachment.

It wasn't about, hey, the guy's having an affair and he lied, or it wasn't about, oh, that perfect phone call didn't go the way we say it.

None of that.

That's, I mean, we can argue whether those things are

a political, rise to the political level of impeachment, which is what this has turned into.

But the founders initially were like, you know, if someone's just ignoring our system of government, we need to get them out of there.

That's what impeachment's for.

Those, it will never happen for the reasons like the student loan

debacle.

No.

Because that's not the way our politics works.

But that was much more precisely what the founders intended when it came to utilizing these clauses.

You know, when you have a a president who over and over and over again is doing things that he has himself admitted he can't do,

DACA is another example of this.

Just saying, yeah, I want it, though.

That's not part of our system.

Yeah, I really want it is not part of our system.

You got to go through Congress for these things, even if they're terrible policies like student loan relief.

Yeah, but what if I really want it?

No.

No.

That's not enough, Pat.

No, but I really, really want it.

How many times?

Two?

Yeah.

Not Not enough.

If I go three, would that hold on?

Would that help?

Let me look at the pressure.

I really, really flipping through, hold on.

I really want it.

Let me flip on the back through.

Is it on the back and small print?

No, you can't do it that way.

Have we tried the lemon juice thing in the hair dryer?

No.

To see if there's.

We're gonna get Nicholas Cage in here and see if he can find that clause.

We'll check on that coming up.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Big speech from Biden last night.

I don't know why he had to make it.

I don't know why he felt the need.

I think he.

I have an idea.

Do you?

Yeah.

Okay.

He wants this election to be about Donald Trump really badly.

That's for sure.

He wants people to be

re-litigating the 2020 election.

He wants it to be not about his record, not about inflation, not about the economy, not about the border, not about Ukraine, not about all the other terrible things.

Because everything is bad.

Not about Afghanistan.

Everything he touches turns to crap.

Right.

Please don't talk about me.

Please talk about him.

Yeah.

That's what he wants.

Yes.

And, you know, of course, the media wants that too.

They remember the glory days of their 100,000 people watching instead of 10,000.

Neither one is a good number, but their ratings, bonanza of the Trump years.

They remember it.

The left,

look, Donald Trump,

as Donald Trump would tell you directly,

the left hates him, right?

They hate him

and they get unified in their hatred for him.

That's the unity he was talking about during the campaign.

And he did it.

Yeah.

Election Uniter.

All right.

But that's what he wants to do.

That's what this speech was specifically designed to do, to make this election about Donald Trump, who, by the way, I might point out is not running.

He is not even on the ballot in 2024 yet.

And he certainly is not running in 2022.

You want to go after what are the specific candidates that's on the ballot.

That might make sense.

But that's not what he's doing here.

He said democracy 31 times.

I didn't count how many times he said MAGA,

but a lot of times.

And think about this, Pat.

He went through the 2020 election in the basement, almost never saying Donald Trump's name.

Yeah.

Since he's been president, he's almost never said Donald Trump's name.

He said my predecessor.

He's used that.

He stayed away from it the whole time.

And all of a sudden, it's MAGA Republicans.

I mean, he dabbled in this with the mega MAGA thing.

He tried to.

He did mention Trump's name a couple of times.

But that's what he wants.

He wants people to be talking about Donald Trump.

And, you know, Donald Trump, I don't know if anyone noticed this.

He, you know,

not the president in the United States.

In fact, he holds no political office in this country.

Nor is he running for political office.

Right.

He is literally just a citizen like everybody else right now.

So it is, it's strange and it's dangerous rhetoric that is going on with him right now.

It's It's not good.

We barely scratched the surface of this, but there's a ton of things to talk about.

Incredibly.

And we will get into it.

That's just the thing that's coming up here in just a few minutes.

But what you just said on the London program was just

saying it was whatever.

I get that a lot.

I get that a lot more.

Yeah, yeah.

But almost everything was just profound.

That's a good word for it.

Thank you, Jason.

We appreciate it.

You get it.

We're going to go into this speech a little bit more here.

It's a fun speech.

That's why.

I mean, it's just so much fun.

A little behind the scenes thing.

We came in today and we were like, well, we got to go through this speech.

Pat's got a bunch of clips.

I'm like, I think we can get a good hour out of these clips.

We got through two of the clips in one hour.

We could really spend the whole show on it.

Yeah.

And honestly, I don't necessarily think that's a bad idea.

It really ties in almost everything.

The attacks of the left against conservatives, against MAGA Republicans, and the fact that this is really, I think, the unofficial launch of campaign season.

I think that was really

part of it, for sure.

And it's interesting to see Biden at some ways energized in some parts of the speech.

Yeah, but he still

had a difficult time.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he's energized in that he's yelling and expressing his hatred for us in an intense way.

But there's still some cognitive dysfunction there.

So, kind of interesting.

But he can.

I don't know.

They get him juiced up on meds or something.

Something happens,

yeah.

More coming up.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of life.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

Like how all of America's major publications, including Time magazine, have just caved in and using words and pronouns that don't even exist.

They're just accepting people who

they're doing articles about.

They're just accepting their pronouns that really aren't words and really aren't pronouns, frankly.

The letter E, for instance,

not a pronoun.

I don't know if you know that or not.

Blowing up the English language.

They're blown it up.

And then they're participating in it.

But coming up, we want to share some of the

profound speech that Joe Biden delivered last night.

I think you're going to love it.

I really do.

We've got that coming up in 60 seconds.

Lois lives in Ohio, and she recently wrote about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, Alexis loves Rough Greens.

She has joined the Lick My Bowl Clean and Push It Hard club now.

I have never seen her so content with her dog food.

In the afternoon, she'll return to her empty bowl and lick it again.

She is now a more active dog.

Thank you, Rough Greens, for being a tremendous product.

Four paws up.

Yes, four paws up for rough greens.

It's not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog food.

And it's chocked full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the good stuff.

You name it.

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

And most dogs love it.

They will go crazy for it.

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

So the speech last night, I'd like to know who made some of the decisions on the aesthetics of the speech.

Like, who thought...

Satan.

Yeah, I think it was.

I think they consulted with Satan

because it looked like he was standing at the gates of hell with that red coloring.

It's just a blood red coloring and him standing in front of it.

And then in the background, the inappropriateness of having the Marines flank on either side this political speech.

Really bad.

Really a terrible choice.

I agree.

And it was weird.

It wasn't just red.

Because when I first heard people complaining about this, I thought red.

Okay, well.

They're saying it was red, white, and blue.

You look at the red of the flag.

Okay, you could see a banner behind him.

Maybe you're too zoomed into the banner.

This has happened before.

Aesthetics are important, right?

They are.

It's the type of thing that there's real stagecraft that goes into a political speech.

We all know that.

I will remember one time we were doing a museum,

one of the museum openings here at

our studios in Dallas, and it was right outside where we're sitting right now.

And they had all these incredible memorabilia out there and some historical stuff, some of it really cool, some of it really kind of dark.

And Glenn's out there, and they, what they have, they have

journalists who've come, TV journalists to come in, you know, this weekend, the Mercury Museum is opening and we talk to the person in charge of it, Glenn Beck or whatever, you know, one of those type of hits.

And I walk, I look, I walk down the hall and I look at Glenn.

He's in the middle of doing one of these interviews.

And I am, I'm like, my eyes light up.

And then I literally just walk into the shot intentionally.

I just walk into it and ruin the interview.

And Glenn's like, what are you doing?

And I'm like, Glenn, you're standing in front of a giant Nazi flag.

You're doing an interview

with

the media, standing in front of a giant swastika.

Which is amazing he didn't notice that because he's all about aesthetics.

Well, he is, but he was so excited to kind of show off the historical

value of all these items.

And whoever was shooting the interview kind of just happened to line up with him in front of a giant swastika.

Now,

so we stopped that from happening.

But that's the type of thing, that's just us in our stupid studio with people walking down the hall.

This is the president of the United States in a prime time speech.

Yeah.

And they lit the, the, the way they lit it, it wasn't like a red banner.

It was this, if you haven't seen it, red light shooting from the ground straight up.

So it's catching parts of the wall, but also going dark on parts of the wall.

So it's very, you know, red and, you know, fading into darkness.

Hellish.

It was very hellish.

Different peaks of the building are lit up in red behind him.

I mean, it looks like

a speech.

If Michael Myers ran for president, this is the set he would use.

If a guy in a Jason mask was your Senate candidate, this is this, he'd be like, yeah, that looks perfect.

Let's do it.

And I don't, it's a small part of it because the content was much, much worse than the setting.

Yeah.

But it is

also bad.

It's worth noticing just how bad the entire thing was.

But yeah, that's how they framed it.

That's how they framed this speech from hell very appropriately.

So then he's talking about American democracy only working if we respect the law.

American democracy only works

only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me.

Only if

we respect our legitimate political differences.

Our legitimate?

I will not stand by and watch.

I will not the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence-free claims of fraud.

I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost.

That's incredible.

That's incredible.

Isn't it?

Isn't it everything they're criticizing about Trump, they're in the middle of doing.

Yep.

The criticism of Donald Trump from the left is that he tried to steal the election and more centrally attempted to steal it before he lost it, right?

Their claim is, okay, he was saying this before.

He was saying it was going to get stolen before the election.

He built up his crowd to believe the election would be stolen if he lost.

That is their criticism of Donald Trump.

It's exactly what he just did.

Yeah.

He just came out and said, they're going to steal this election.

If we lose, they're stealing it.

That's the same exact note that they claim Donald Trump was hitting.

And the same thing they've said every time they've lost.

Every single time.

We have a montage that we've played a few times.

Oh, yeah.

Of 10 minutes short clips of Democrats talking about how

blank election was stolen.

Yeah.

Either 2000, 2004, 2016.

I don't know that we go back any further than that, but the last three elections they've lost.

Yeah.

Everyone they've lost in my lifetime, they claim was stolen.

In my adult life, at least.

I mean, I don't,

you can't claim Mondale had the election stolen.

That was too difficult.

You know, you just.

When you lose 49 out of 50 states, that one's tough.

It's difficult.

Yeah.

But yes, certainly recently.

And of course, we obviously have people like Stacey Abrams saying a bunch of other races were also stolen.

Whenever they lose, this is what they say.

Yes.

And they act, you know, and this is what was, I think, most annoying to people like us, Pat,

about January 6th.

Selfishly, I didn't like watching January 6th happen.

You know, I think it was a disgrace for a million different reasons.

It has been completely overblown by the media since.

And the context of it is, at this point, completely absurd.

But I didn't like that moment mainly because we always had the high ground when it came to

violence and riots and losing elections with grace.

When we lose elections, every time other than 2020, we've always come out and said, hey, look, you know, this sucks.

That's pretty much what our answer has.

And people don't like that.

You know, people, a lot of people want, you know, you need more fight or whatever.

And look, when an election has election irregularities, it's always important to look into them, even if it's an election that Republicans win.

I don't want to win an election if it has to do with irregularities or there's some problem with it.

Of course, all that stuff should be looked into.

But generally speaking, when you lose an election, Republicans have been of the mindset of, hey, we lost and

our side probably sucked too much and deserved it.

That's generally speaking the way we've reacted to that.

And we've always had the high ground.

Every major election Democrats have lost in my adult life, they have said was stolen from them, including up to the absurd 2004 election, where they came up with all sorts of voting machine conspiracies about how they lost Ohio.

They said that,

you know,

people left pamphlets around that said, you know, Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrats vote on Wednesday.

I don't know what that is.

If you're that stupid, you don't deserve to fight.

You don't deserve to vote.

You don't.

Remember, they act as if we don't remember October and November of 2020.

How old were you back in October and November of 2020?

Do you remember?

I was four.

I think I was four years old.

Do you remember when you were four years old, and maybe too young, when celebrities, journalists, television personalities, politicians on the left were telling you that they were stealing mailboxes and putting them on trucks to haul them away because there might just be ballots inside and Donald Trump and his control of the post office was trying to steal the election.

Do you remember this?

I do.

Immediately before the election.

Yeah.

And they act as if we're all going to forget this stuff, which of course we didn't.

They've been on this, they paved the path.

They have been the one who designed specifically how you speak about elections being stolen that you lost.

This is their game.

I don't want to be involved in playing it, honestly, but

they created the rules of this game.

And the fact that they're doing this now, Joe Biden is in front of the country, literally outlining their supposed criticisms of Donald Trump as their platform is a bit disturbing.

And it's why this speech is the worst speech ever given in the history of mankind.

Right.

Never have I seen an American president attack the American people the way he did last night with such broad strokes.

I've never seen it.

And

I don't believe it's ever happened in the history of our nation.

I mean, there were some really nasty campaigns in the beginning of

this nation's ride.

And we've talked about some of those, like the election of 1800 between Jefferson and John Adams.

And we've shown you some of the things that were said back and forth between them.

Oh, boy.

My phone.

That's all right.

It's me calling.

Is it you?

Yeah, I'm just trying to get your attention.

Okay.

I'm over here.

You could have just looked.

Oh, yeah.

You're right.

Bad approach.

I'll just let it ring until it stops.

Sorry, Pat is.

Pat, this is an interesting part of this.

This is a side note.

No one believes that Pat has a phone.

He's never answered a call.

It's never actually occurred.

I actually had Pat on Studos America yesterday.

And the attempt to book Pat, who's in the room with us multiple times a day, was very difficult.

I mean, to book Pat Gray to come on a show in a room that he's already in is totally difficult.

Pat has never answered an email or a text.

And apparently, this phone ringing is the first news I had that you even had a phone.

So, but there's proof.

For now we know.

There's some proof.

And somehow.

I do have a phone.

Despite the fact you've never answered a call, you leave your ringer on

while you're on the air.

Incredible.

All right, where were you going?

All right.

I was all.

I don't know.

I'm just, I don't know.

All right.

Let's think about it.

We'll take a break and we'll see if I I can remember what I was saying.

Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's on vacation for a while and

will be here, well, until the end of the show.

So that's pretty exciting.

We also have Joe Biden talking about MAGA Republicans again,

and the fact that they only believe in winning or being cheated.

It's pretty amazing coming from a Democrat.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can't be

pro-insurrectionist

and pro-American.

They're incompatible.

We can't allow violence to be normalized in this country.

It's wrong.

We each have to reject political violence.

How can they say this?

I know the moral clarity and conviction this nation can muster now.

We can't let the integrity of our elections be undermined, for that is a path to chaos.

Look, I know

politics can be fierce.

Polish and

nasty in America.

I get it.

I believe in the give and take of politics, in disagreement, and debate and dissent.

We're a big, complicated country.

Are we?

But democracy endures only if we, the people, respect the guardrails of the Republic.

Only if...

We, the people, accept the results of free and fair elections.

Only if we, the people,

see politics not as total war, but mediation of our differences.

I mean, listen to it.

Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election.

Either they win

or they were cheated.

And that's where the MAGA Republicans are today.

As he's attacking

75 million people.

I can't take it anymore.

As he's attacking 75 million of us,

he is

saying that the politics can't survive these kinds of attacks while he's attacking us.

It's

amazing.

I got to go back to the violence thing.

Okay.

January 6th.

Yeah.

We all saw it happen.

Right.

That was...

Where nine people were killed?

No.

Nine people.

Yeah.

Murdered.

No.

Right there on the steps of the Capitol building.

No, no.

Piles of bodies

stacked up on top of each other.

No, that's not.

No cop survived

attack.

Not one of them.

That's not accurate.

No, Pat.

You would think it is.

There was violence against police officers that we have denounced.

And in fact,

everybody at that time was that.

Nobody lost their lives from that.

Right.

There were some injuries, but no life lost.

Right.

There was a, you know,

we know the whole story.

We need a new one.

Yeah.

I mean, how many times are you going to talk about Brian Sicknick, who died from strokes?

Yeah.

And his family said that really from the beginning.

And still they lie about that to this day.

They still lie about it to this day.

That not only he was killed by that mob, but several others who later committed suicide, in some cases weeks or months later, they're also counted in the

death toll of the mob.

Who knows?

Maybe it's true.

I don't know.

That they committed suicide because of the event.

It's possible, right?

And maybe it was part of the equation.

I don't know.

Maybe

it's hard to put those together, guys.

stretching quite a bit yeah my point though is that since then right we've seen nothing there's not been political violence from the right there was supposed to be a march 4th event that year last year and there was another one in the summer another one

where they nothing materialized you're right we know before january 6th there was almost no evidence of conservatives and violence politically.

It was all on the left.

And we went through 2020 where the entire year was was defined by cities burning to the ground because of political violence on the left.

Not because of political violence on the right.

Many people did die that summer.

Was it 20?

No, it was almost like 100, I think.

Go back and look.

I got to go back and look at that number.

I remember being shocked by it when I saw how many people had died in all of those riots together, rallies together.

That is unbelievable.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe we should look at the number.

We'll look at the number, but it was certainly hundreds of injuries.

It was certainly more than died on January 6th.

Not even remotely close.

Yeah.

And like,

they act as if this is some big common thing.

It's just not.

There are, of course, on every side

of a political debate, even in a country as relatively refined as ours is in historical terms, there's going to be some nut job that does something crazy.

We all understand that that goes on.

There's always somebody who's going to do something bad in every circumstance.

There's always somebody.

But like, there is not a MAGA Republican.

It's just not, there's no evidence to make anybody believe that this is going on and is going to continue to go on.

What we saw in 2020 was

mass political violence by the left that was excused by the same people criticizing Donald Trump and the same people who were on stage yesterday.

Joe Biden,

Kamala Harris, the entire crew sat back and said, well, basically, you need to understand because they're really mad.

You need to understand that they're destroying these businesses.

They're really upset about it.

Well, that was essentially what they said.

Yeah.

They were like, well, you know, police are really bad and they're really bad people.

They've done terrible, terrible things to black people throughout history.

Therefore, we should excuse this violence because they're really upset about it.

That was their argument.

It was the argument from the media.

We just need to understand.

These people need to get this out of their system.

That was their racist argument.

Credible.

I mean, remember what Chris Cuomo said?

It was like, whoever said that riots or protests had to be peaceful?

And you can go to shop.blazemedia.com to get your very own MAGA American gear.

Yes, they've got t-shirts, they've got hoodies, they've got all the stuff.

Shop.blazemedia.com.

I mean,

you had to know if you're Joe Biden, that this is going to become a rallying cry on the right.

If you start calling them MAGA Americans,

they're going to fully embrace that.

And that is what's happening.

And you can get yours right now.

Shop.blazemedia.com.

I love that.

He also, Joe Biden last night in that wonderful speech that he gave, I don't know that we even have to play it, but he talked about how too much is happening in our country.

That's not normal.

There's a point on which we can all unite, but just for different reasons.

He thinks it's not normal because

they like Donald Trump or

they wanted an insurrection on January 6th.

Or

I don't know.

I don't know what his not normal is, but the not normal thing, how about women not being,

you're not able to

define what a woman is.

That's not normal.

You have

now made it so that we can't call a woman a woman or a man a man.

We have to make exceptions for pregnancies, like women and others who give birth.

Who are these others that give birth?

I don't know them.

I've never heard of them.

I've never seen them.

I'd like to see a person who's not a woman give birth.

If that is an actual thing, show it to me.

I just, I don't, I mean, it's so ridiculous.

Tis not a thing.

It is not a thing.

Now, you can make all sorts of arguments about identity, how you might identify,

but it is not a thing.

Yeah.

Just because you identify as something doesn't make, I can identify as a kumquat.

That doesn't make me one.

That's true.

Yeah, uh and I will say thank God yeah men don't have to have babies.

I'm glad me too.

I'm really glad that was completely put on the women me too because first of all our species would have gone extinct a long time ago

but also I it seems really hard and I don't want to do it so

no I've seen that happen yeah and it's not difficult

yeah it's not pleasant looks like one of the more difficult things you could be involved in frankly and I'm glad our our entire gender just got to avoid it.

Right.

So, you can say you identify however you want.

That doesn't change the fact that it's women with the wombs.

You know, they're the ones with the womb.

And that's kind of an important element in giving birth to a baby.

People don't know that.

You have to sit somewhere to store them for nine months.

You got to store them somewhere.

You know, it's like if you're trying to bake a cake without an oven, like,

it doesn't really work very well.

You need to have the oven to bake the cake.

Yeah.

And this is a situation where the oven or the womb needs to be present.

It's something very, very important about the process.

And there was a wise man who once said,

um,

biscuits.

Say that again.

A cat can give birth to kittens in the oven, that don't make them biscuits.

A cat can give birth to kittens in an oven that don't make them biscuits.

That's incredibly profound.

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

What was that again?

What was a cat can give birth to kittens in the oven that don't make them biscuits?

Yeah.

It's a classic, and it's a classic.

It's true to this day.

It is.

The kittens will not be biscuits.

No.

Even if they're born in an oven, they're still not biscuits.

They're still not biscuits.

So you can't argue with it.

You really can't.

And the last thing that we were going to

play, I think, from

our beloved president last night was that

he is still optimistic.

Despite bashing Americans for 24 minutes, in the last 30 seconds, he's optimistic about America's future.

Oh, good.

Okay.

And

he's still claiming we will end cancer as we know it.

That's right.

He made that was a big another big

declaration on that.

He's said it multiple times.

And he ran on this.

It was a big part of his platform.

He's mentioned it in speech after speech after speech.

Mark my word, I believe.

is what he said.

Mark my word.

I will end cancer.

Which word there are we supposed to mark?

End.

Okay.

Okay.

And

mark my word, and that word is end.

Yes.

I will end cancer.

Well, listen to this.

I think this was one of the points where he said it during the campaign.

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

Yay!

I mean, can you think of a more transparently

just bogus claim.

It's like there is like this thing that I can't even describe that he's doing there.

He's trying to gain votes on the back of cancer deaths.

Like it's so disgusting.

It is.

Now, I am all about the hope of curing cancer one.

I would love that.

It would be great and an incredible accomplishment.

It would not be an accomplishment for a president, though.

No, he's never.

He's got nothing to do with it other than I don't know if he's, and I've never heard him really push for cancer research money.

I've never, I don't think that's been a thing that he's done during his

central theme.

The only thing he's done is that he's going to cure it

over and over and over and over again.

And he mentioned this again last night.

If you were, yeah, he did.

So has he done it yet?

Well, here's the thing, Pat.

That's why we created hasjoebidencuredcancer.com.

Because people who might have cancer or have a relative with cancer might be concerned and want to know if cancer does get cured.

So if you go to...

I want to know.

Right, exactly.

So if you go to hasjoebidencuredcancer.com, you will be.

All one word, right?

Yes.

Has joebiden cured cancer.com.

Yeah.

It's just a simple question, and it gives you a very simple answer.

Has Joe Biden cured cancer.com?

If you go there, you'll get the information.

And by the way, this is kept up to date to the second.

The second he cures cancer, we will be able to tell you if he has cured cancer or not.

So it's just something you could check.

I don't want to say more than, you probably don't need to do it more than four or five times a day.

But four or five times a day, just go to hasjoebidencuredcancer.com.

Because it could happen at any minute.

At any moment, I mean, he was talking about it last night.

Yeah.

Has it happened yet?

I haven't gone there today.

Let me just go check right now.

Has Joe Biden curedcancer.com?

I'm there right now.

And

the answer seems to be

no.

Darn it.

Cancer still exists as of Friday,

September 2nd, 2022 at 1041.48 a.m.

Eastern Day.

Darn it.

Darn it.

Crap.

I was all pumped.

I thought one of these days, you're going to go to hasjoebidencauredcancer.com and it's going to say yes.

Maybe he has.

Maybe in red, white, and blue letters.

Yeah.

Because everyone's going to be so excited about it.

I hope so.

That would be awesome.

But anyone you want to send, like if you have a, if you have someone on the left who might be praising Joe Biden's speech last night, you can send this to them and they can check on the progress of that particular claim that he made during the campaign multiple times.

Has Joe cured cancer.com?

Just go there.

Has Joe Biden cured cancer.com.

And when you go there, you'll get the answer.

And all of your liberal friends will also get the answer.

They will be able to also see what the truth of the situation is.

It will be wonderful.

They'll really enjoy it because they'll have up-to-date information on a major claim made by their candidate.

And they'll be able to check it 20, 30, 50 times a day if they wish.

Has Joe Biden cured cancer.com today?

And the answer is still no

so far.

So far.

But it could change.

But by the end of the show, it could change.

Yeah, it could change.

We'll let you know if it does.

You could check yourself at hasjoebidencauredcancer.com.

With this guy saying it so many times, you would think it would be some massive push, like we did for, like Trump did for the vaccine.

Right?

Right.

You think.

You're pumping money into it.

You've got an absolute

positive program in order to do it and accomplish it.

And you've gathered together scientists and

people of the

cancer industry and you've got their heads together and you're pumping them full of money and research.

Dollars are there.

If you were doing that, you might have a chance to do something like this.

But

I don't, I've never seen any kind of effort on the part of the Biden administration to do that with cancer.

Yeah, especially the crap that they have funded.

I mean,

you know, you can argue whether the federal government should be the central source of funding for cancer research.

You can argue whether we have the money to spend on anything, honestly, at this point.

But if you were going to say, hey,

we're going to spend $10 billion on something, what should it be?

Cancer research would be near the top of the list for conservatives.

I think it would.

If you're going to spend federal dollars.

If you're going to go past these sort of hurdles here of whether the federal government should be involved in that sort of thing, you can argue it.

I mean, it can argue, look, you know, I think there's an argument for if our government was right-sized, right, where we weren't spending money on everything all the time, that this would be one of the few things you'd want to spend money on.

If we had it, you'd want to spend money on cancer research.

Now, there is a lot of academic literature that signals that giant infusions of cash from the federal government doesn't actually improve the quality of research.

And so there's a hurdle to get over there as to whether it's effective.

But honestly, with the way we spend spend money, a $10 billion lottery ticket would be something I'd be like, ah, let's give it a whirl.

I mean, I think a lot of people would be just like, okay, it probably won't work.

But if we're going to spend $10 billion on something, maybe we get some benefit out of it.

We want to help people who have diseases, not just cancer, but

diabetes and things of this nature.

Like we all, you know, lots of people, there was lots of research dollars spent, as we remember, on COVID research that led to some good things and some wastes of money.

And that's what you have to sort of embrace when the federal government spends money.

The federal government should only spend money on things that you are willing to accept in efficiency, right?

The military is a good example of this.

I love our military.

It's the best in the world.

But our military wastes a lot of money, right?

We all know the toilet seat thing, $500 toilet seats from back in the day.

But more than that, we try to develop weapons that don't come through and don't work.

We station troops in areas where

they're just completely inactive.

We train

tons of troops that never see action, right?

Yep.

Obviously, there is a cost to that.

Having preparation is, you know, a prepared military is an asset, even if you don't use it.

But I mean, you can argue that we spend tons and tons of money on wait.

We, for example, go to a country for 20 years and then leave all of our equipment there.

Things like that might be seen as giant wastes of money.

But because you're trying, you have a very high goal here of protecting American lives and American sovereignty, you're willing to accept some of that, right?

That is something that, of course, the Constitution actually allows for, unlike a lot of our other spending.

But if you're willing to

accept some inefficiency, let's say you spend $10 billion and don't get a major improvement on cancer.

That's the type of thing you might look at and say, all right, well, that sucked.

Darn it.

Let's try again.

We tried.

Yeah, maybe we try again.

We tried.

Maybe try it a different way, but we tried.

And it was a good goal.

And relatively, not a lot of money when it comes to the government.

Right.

And government would normally just say, well, we didn't spend enough.

So they'd go to 50 billion next time.

Yeah.

That is the way that's the way it goes.

And certainly the justification they use for spending on schools.

Like, ah, well, gosh, we spent $100 billion, didn't work.

Let's spend $200 billion.

See how that goes.

I mean, I know you've covered this a million times.

Educational spending does not equal results.

Sure doesn't.

It seems to be the opposite in many cases.

Almost, yeah.

But nice, you get nice arboretums in your schools.

That's right.

You know,

you get a nice Olympic-sized swimming pool for the swim team.

You can do that with money.

Yeah.

Making kids learn more effectively does not seem to be a result of the spending.

What they're getting right now in part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a really nice indoor football practice facility that they're building for $42 million.

They're getting that.

They're getting that, but are they being better educated?

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

Yesterday, did you guys, did you play the Biden not a joke montage?

Yeah, yeah.

That was from actually the Studios America montage.

I love that.

Montage because what a stupid thing he does all the time.

Yeah.

It's not a joke.

Not a joke.

Do we have it?

Let's, yeah.

Not a joke.

Not a joke.

Not a joke.

That wasn't hyperbole.

I meant that.

I'm not joking.

No, I'm serious.

This is not hyperbole.

I'm not being facetious.

And I mean it.

Not a joke for real.

Not a joke.

I mean it.

I'm being serious.

So weird.

I'm being serious.

Put all kidding aside.

For real.

No, I'm not joking.

Not a joke.

I mean it.

I really mean it.

I mean this.

I'm not being solicitous.

Not a joke.

Nobody thinks it's a joke.

Here's the thing.

Nobody ever thinks it's a joke.

No one's laughing about what you just said.

There's no reason to believe you're joking.

Why do you have to say that all the time?

Yeah, like It's really irritating to me.

He doesn't,

for example,

the example of the Beto O'Rourke speech from a couple of weeks ago where he started talking about guns like he understood what they did.

Yeah.

And someone in the audience audibly laughs at him.

He thought he was being heckled.

But in reality, it's just the guy's, like, he's, Beto O'Rourke is so dumb.

The guy just bursts out in laughter, I think, completely naturally.

Yes.

And he starts yelling at him.

He's like,

I hope you think this is funny.

People died.

And like, everyone's like, oh, what a powerful moment from Betto Aurora.

Oh, what an amazing.

But like, in reality.

It's a stupid thing he said.

Right.

That's the use of not a joke where it would kind of make.

I'm not joking here.

I'm not like, yes, I have no knowledge about firearms and I'm trying to take them from you, but like I'm not joking.

I'm trying to get across something serious and you're laughing at me.

That's when you would use that phrase.

Yes.

Joe Biden just uses it in the middle of like always.

It almost seems like when he doesn't get any reaction is when he says it.

Like he says, he says something he believes is profound.

Everyone's dead silent.

He goes, not a joke.

Like, you're not reacting because you think it's a joke, right?

But it's not a joke.

But no, you're not reacting because you're an idiot.

Yeah.

You're an idiot who, as Pat said earlier in the program, made the worst speech ever given by anybody in history.

In history.

Just last night.

Yes.

That's incredible.

It's an incredible statement.

And I think

it's backed up by the facts.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Coming up this hour, I want to talk a little bit about Carrie Lake in Arizona.

She's running for governor.

She has been presented as an election truther,

someone who is erratic and

cannot be the governor of the state, Pat.

Cannot.

Absolutely not.

Not acceptable.

Not acceptable to the media.

We're going to go into,

I want to highlight one of her answers to a tough question by someone in the media.

It might just be the model for how you answer this question.

It's oh, nice.

We rarely do we have these moments where we are actually happy with the way Republican candidates communicate with us for sure.

Let's highlight one.

All right.

This is coming up here in just a second.

888727BEC is the phone number if you want to call in and maybe take some of your calls this hour.

It's a new day I'm turned around rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

Today, featuring Pat and Stu,

we're going to take a look at how Carrie Lake handles a difficult question.

Carrie Lake is running for governor of Arizona.

She's a former TV news anchor, and she stepped down from being a TV news anchor so she could run for office.

And

she

seems to know what she's talking about.

We'll get into that in one minute.

It's important to realize that change for the better starts with you.

What are you doing to help make this country a better place?

What are you doing to fight against the tyranny of the left?

You can fight it in big ways, you can fight it in small ways.

You can even do something with your cell phone service.

If you want to get involved in the movement, switch over to Patriot Mobile.

I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

You know, they talk about making donations to conservative causes, which they do all the time, as opposed to these big carriers that donate tons of money to left-wing causes.

And you may have heard Glenn talk about that before.

As we talk about Patriot Mobile, you get the same great service on the same towers, all that stuff.

Plus, they're helping out conservative causes.

But I'll tell you, even beyond that, my wife, who's pretty active in local politics,

showed up at an event one time about one of these school board issues.

And she was trying to fight for the right side of what's going on with some of these crazy school board decisions around the country.

And she got there, and tons of people from Patriot Mobile were there.

Not as part of their company events, just because they, on their own time, wanted to go and

work the phones to make sure that

a local school board election went the right way.

These people legitimately care about this and they're fighting, they care about this, and they're fighting for it every day.

You should know that.

Patton Stew on the Glenn Beck program.

Carrie Lake Reniford, governor of Arizona.

Now, a lot of people believe she just can't possibly be the governor of Arizona.

She's just too radical.

I mean, she's an election denier.

That is the way she's presented, yes.

And I love how they've attached denier to things because

what they're trying to do is tie you in with Holocaust deniers.

And so that's what they do with the election or the climate.

You're a climate denier?

No, I'm not denying there's a climate at all.

I'm just...

You're not?

No.

I've never denied there's a climate.

It would.

It would be.

Now, if I lived on the moon, I could deny a climate exists, but

not here on this planet.

But she handles this climate or this election denier thing pretty well.

Yeah, to give you kind of a sense of this race, the media is saying that Carrie Lake can't win this race.

And the reason they're saying it is not because of the polls, because the polls, actually the most recent poll has her winning.

She's ahead by one point.

Another recent poll has her down three.

So what you're talking about is essentially a toss-up race right now in Arizona, which is a

purple state that maybe leans a little red.

Okay,

that's the climate we're talking about here.

And the reason they're saying she can't win this race is not it's not because they're saying, in theory, could she actually come out with more votes?

They're saying it can't be allowed.

She is too radical.

She's a scary candidate.

She's an election truther.

She's all the bad things you can think of wrapped into one package.

And it's interesting because we've talked to her on the show.

I didn't get that sense from her talking to her on the program.

Watching her speeches, I don't get that sense from her.

There are some quotes out there that make her, you know, look like some evil

election denier.

And, you know, as I've stated many times, my preference for the 2022 election would not be focusing on the 2020 election.

Like, I don't think that that is a worthwhile pursuit, especially with what Joe Biden has done to this country after taking office after the 2020 election.

Focusing on what has actually occurred here, I think, is, you know, when it was considering the policies and

the nonstop series of cataclysms that have developed since Joe Biden walked into that building, is a much better thing to focus on.

And

to Carrie Lake's credit, she's not talking about the election in any other way of just saying, look, we got to make sure our elections are secure, which in theory everybody wants, at least we all used to want.

But the media does want to make this election about Donald Trump.

The media does want to make this election about the 2020 election.

This media does want to make the election about election denial and election trutherism and all of that stuff.

So whether Republican candidates want to talk about that or not, they are being forced to by the media.

So if you're going to win an election, You need to come up with a way to talk about this coherently, in a sober fashion, in a way that doesn't make it look like you're hiding something, doesn't make it look like you're the weak one in the conversation.

A strong answer that agrees with your principles, agrees with what your beliefs, but also is able to handle the situation of an adverse media.

Carrie Lake had a moment like this the other day, and I want you to listen to this, and every Republican candidate out there should listen to this, should see how she does this, should learn from this approach.

This is a really good answer to this question.

Here it is.

This is Carrie Lake from the other day.

So, here, stop for a second.

Basically, the question was: it's hard to hear the question.

You said that Joe Biden is dividing the country, but isn't Donald Trump dividing the country as he's suggesting that he actually won the 2020 election?

How does that divide the country?

Questioning an election where there are obviously problems is dividing the country.

Since when can we not ask questions about our elections?

As a journalist for many years, I was a journalist after 2016, and I distinctly remember many people just like you asking a lot of questions about the 2016 election results.

And nobody tried to shut you up.

Nobody tried to tell Hillary Clinton to shut up.

Nobody tried to tell Kamala Harris when she was questioning the legitimacy of these electronic voting machines to stop.

We have freedom of speech in this country, and you of all people should appreciate that.

You're supposedly a journalist.

You should appreciate that.

So I don't see how asking questions about an election where there are many problems is dividing a country.

What I do see dividing a country is shutting people down, censoring people, canceling people, trying to destroy people's lives when they do ask questions.

questions.

Last I heard, we still have the Constitution.

It's hanging by a thread, thanks to some of the work some people in this area have done.

But we're going to save that Constitution, and we're going to bring back freedom of speech.

And maybe someday you'll thank us for that.

Wow.

And it's a little spicy.

Wow.

But it's a good answer.

It's a definitive answer.

That's great.

And look, I think she does have real questions about the election.

And she's kind of, you know, she's talked about that.

Yeah.

Again, I would prefer this not be the battleground this is fought on.

But if you happen to be someone, a candidate who has those comments in your past, and maybe it's something that you believe, that's a good way of handling that.

You know, the left has asked questions about every major election they have lost in my adult lifetime.

This is what they do over and over and over and over again.

This is not unique to a Republican candidate in Arizona or any Republican candidate.

This has most often been the thing that the left has done over the years.

And to be able to talk about that and say, look,

asking questions is totally okay.

You know, it is something that you should be able to do.

Now, you should also accept the answers if you don't like them.

And sometimes candidates don't want to do that.

But she answers this very, very well and also puts it back on journalists who are clearly,

clearly guilty.

of asking questions about previous elections that were quite clearly decided and also

are now looking to try to scare voters to stay away from candidates across

the right,

trying to paint them all with a sort of broad brush that they are against democracy, that they are for political violence, that they are the MAGA Republicans Joe Biden targeted last night.

And you need to be able to communicate to

the journalists that ask those questions the types of concepts Carrie Lake does you know is able to get across there I think she does a really good job with that answer

you know tremendous I mean the you know the other you've seen the other options right Pat which are like okay well you know try to just avoid uh you know you've seen some candidates come out and

I will say just as big an issue as the words she uses her tone here her tone here is perfect perfect she's calm if you're on radio you didn't see her she's calm she's poised in this moment she's not stammering around she's not looking for an answer she's not rattled

She's a professional broadcaster, which helps, obviously.

So this is not going to be necessarily something that hits every candidate so easily, but she handles it with,

she handles it quickly.

She handles it in a concise way.

She puts a little bit of spice in the recipe.

Yep.

You know,

just enough.

Just enough.

Not too much.

You know, she not too much.

She makes her point, but she doesn't overdo it.

It's a pretty, pretty interesting performance.

And again, this is one of the things I come back to when I come to optimism as compared to the current feeling of this election.

You know, a candidate like Carrie Lake, when no one knows her as a candidate, they might know her as a broadcaster, but they don't know her as a candidate really yet.

We're just starting this election season in real form.

They're going to hear quotes from the media that she said that look, you know, not so great.

They're going to highlight all the things that are controversial or things that maybe moderates wouldn't like.

But when that person that we just saw or listened to, when that person gets in front of an audience in a major debate, I think she's going to handle that pretty well.

I think the people of the state are going to like her.

I think they're going to see her as someone who's smart and poised and not the cartoon character the media has tried to present her as.

And I think that's going to help in a big way.

I mean, I think that's going to help in the race

in Arizona for governor, but also for Senate.

I think it's also going to help in Ohio.

I think you're going to see

a lot of these crazy right-wingers, which is the branding the media has used on them,

when the American people actually see them and hear what they're saying, they're not going to sound so crazy.

And hopefully that'll be the case in Pennsylvania with

Dr.

Dr.

Oz

too against John Fetterman, who's a radical leftist.

Yep.

A guy who almost died just a few months ago and still can't really speak right,

still isn't able to communicate or do the job of a U.S.

senator.

And this is from their campaign.

They are saying, no, they're saying he can do the job, of course, but he's having problems.

He's not processing language.

No, then you can't do the job.

That's part of the job.

And part of the job, honestly, when you're running for Senate is a debate.

Right.

That's part of the job.

If you can't do it.

They won't.

Debate.

No.

And so Dr.

Oz is talking about that.

And so they're accusing him of attacking his health.

So I don't know.

Oz is

Dr.

Oz

is a candidate.

I don't know.

I honestly don't know really enough about his actual political positions.

I mean, I just know him as Dr.

Oz.

I know what he's saying now in the campaign.

What is in his core?

I don't know.

But I will say, Dr.

Oz obviously is a good communicator.

The guy's entire career has been based on that.

He's made a lot of money and had a giant audience for a long time.

So, again, he might be the same type of thing.

He gets in front of on a debate stage with Fetterman.

I mean, I think the people of Pennsylvania will be like, all right, come on.

Yeah, it'd be over.

Yeah, it'd be over.

And that's why, of course, Fetterman is avoiding it.

Right.

Plus, Fetterman had the other issue that,

in addition to being an extremist and the health issue, he

also is a guy who hasn't supported himself his whole life.

Until he was 50 years old, his parents supported him with an allowance

that they gave him, including up to $54,000 a year

so that he could do other things.

Yeah.

He was mayor of a small town

where I think his salary for the year was, what, $1,800 a year?

Something like that.

Yeah.

So mommy and daddy sort of supplemented us there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And he was able to kind of run his life until he was 50 years old.

Which was three years ago.

I mean, we've had this conservative conversation about this before, Pat, where like, there was a time where like you were 18, you got out of the you maybe went to college or you just got out and you started working.

And can you believe these 25-year-olds are still living home with mom, being supported by the parents?

And everyone's like, I know.

Can you believe 25?

Whatever.

This guy's double 25.

50 is double 25.

Yeah.

For those non-mathematicians out there, so his parents are paying for his life.

And then

for his living space, his sister sells him the apartment that he lives in for $1.

For $1.

$1.

Good deal.

He can get it.

That's a good deal.

Yeah.

And we should point out that not only is he a, he's Bernie Sanders in a hoodie.

I mean, that's who John Fetterman is.

He is a, he is not like, I don't even know who to put in this category.

He's not Joe Manchin, let's say.

Like you could see a petty candidate.

I mean, Casey in, you know, you go back to the abortion conversation.

You had Roe versus Wade, and then you had Casey.

Casey, a Democrat Democrat, who was pro-life at one time.

The Casey part of that was the pro-life side of that argument.

It was against Planned Parenthood.

Jeez, right?

Wow.

How things have changed.

But I mean, a moderate like that, you could see in Pennsylvania doing well.

That is not who John Fetterman is.

He is Bernie freaking Sanders.

And he's trying to come out.

He's a 6'8, Bernie Sanders.

I'm just wearing a hoodie, so you can trust me.

That is not

a good idea.

888-727, B-E-C-K.

Pat and Stu for Glenn.

Today, you know, we were just talking about the Oz, the Dr.

Oz, John Fetterman race.

The other thing about that race is, and

I don't know that Oz has taken advantage of this as much as he probably should.

You've got the chance to elect the first Muslim ever,

Mehmet Oz,

to the U.S.

Senate.

Shouldn't that be some kind of identity politics that the left loves?

Where's the glass ceiling?

Yeah, I don't understand.

I've missed all of it.

Huh.

No one seems to be excited about these barriers being broken.

Every time a Republican breaks one of those barriers, it's completely ignored.

It really is.

Nothing to talk about at all.

Nothing to see here.

Move along.

Glenn has.

Wait, no, you got a Muslim that's about to join the U.S.

Senate.

Yeah.

Glenn has Winsome Sears on his podcast this weekend.

You can get it tomorrow for free on YouTube or if you're a Blaze TV subscriber, it's available now.

And she is the lieutenant governor of Virginia, the first, I think, African-American statewide elected

lieutenant governor, or maybe

certainly of all time.

And she

is an inspiring story.

An immigrant African-American woman elected as a Republican.

No, no love.

No, no, no.

Class feeling.

No praise.

Nothing.

Zero because she's a Republican, period.

We should also point out about Fetterman is he's, I mean, he is terrible, but he's also, he's got some weird hint of racism that he's dealing with.

I don't know.

He's got this weird sort of Joe Biden type of racism where he just will throw out things like, you know, black people can't do regular things that normal citizens can do.

For example,

the voter ID thing is the example of this.

He did this the other day.

He's like, oh, well, voter ID is bad because, you know, black and Hispanic voters, they don't have IDs.

They

don't have flat out racism.

Yeah.

Here's the thing, John.

Minority voters are like you.

They're capable of doing basic tasks of being a citizen just like you.

Now, of course, they probably have jobs unlike you.

They don't get an allowance into their 50s like you.

There are some differences, but you know, I hate to break this to the left.

This is

stunning development that non-white voters, non-white voters support support voter ID in higher numbers than white voters do and why is that because they can't get one no no they don't want to no it's not even non-registered voters support voter ID laws at higher percentages than registered voters that is and

over 50% with every single crosstab we're talking about uh liberals we're talking about Democrats, obviously Independents and Republicans and conservatives, black, white, Hispanic.

Isn't it close to 80% with blacks?

Overall, it's 80%.

I think with blacks, it's

I think the

breakdown I had this the other day.

I just did this story the other day, but the breakdown, I believe, was white and non-white.

And it was, I believe, 79%

white and 83% non-white support for voter ID.

That's amazing.

That's amazing.

You know, it really isn't.

That's the problem.

It's amazing in the context of the things that the left says.

Yeah.

Because they act as if.

It can't be done.

They can't be done.

But it's not amazing at all.

Every African-American I know has an ID and they never had a problem getting it.

Like, this is not, this is, we're not saying, hey, can you,

you know, can you, I don't know, beat Serena Williams in tennis.

This is getting an ID.

This is easy for most people.

The Glenback Program.

Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

What is the deal

with the drag queen thing?

I don't understand it.

I don't get it.

I didn't understand when they started doing the story times in libraries with some of these scary-looking drag queens with the horns coming out their head.

And you know, that picture that we've seen a million times.

I don't understand the special presentations.

I I don't,

we just, there had, they had one in Roanoke, Texas

on Sunday, some big drag queen show.

Roanoke, Texas is not San Francisco.

It's a, it's a conservative, small suburb,

and it's kind of surprising that they chose that place for you know, their drag queen show.

But, you know, people were going nuts there.

They were loving it and bringing their children and some of them forcing their children to watch the drag queens.

It is so prevalent

that I guess there's a drag queen show tomorrow night in Provo, Utah,

home of BYU.

They're making it look almost like this is a BYU drag show,

but they feature some of the, it's a back-to-school pride drag extravaganza.

Performers include current and former BYU students.

Yeah.

Okay.

Nice.

You got to be proud of that.

You do.

And it says on the

flyer, you don't want to miss this.

I do.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, I do.

I do want to miss it.

And I'm going to.

I will miss it.

But they're so excited to announce the lineup for our Back to School Pride Drag Show.

We have some incredible queens and kings who will be performing starting at 6 p.m.

Kiwana's Park.

Okay, well, I mean, that's great.

I guess

there's multiple aspects of this, Pat, where like, I am not interested in seeing a drag show.

Not my thing.

No,

you know, just everybody has things.

A lot of people don't like baseball.

I do.

I like going to watch baseball games.

So it's not my thing.

There is, of course, always been an element of our society that enjoys like pushing the envelope, let's say a nightlife, right?

You might go do something, you know, that's pushing the envelope and it's, oh, it's the thing they say you're not supposed to do.

And it's at a nightclub at night, and you go and you watch a, I don't know, maybe you will go watch a drag show at a club

some Friday night.

All right, you know, I mean, it's not my thing, okay?

You know, you do what you do, you do, you.

Yeah.

You do you.

And they are.

And they are.

And they are doing it.

And that, while I don't, it's not my interest, it's not something I want to participate in, but I do generally understand

that part of society, right?

Where like, I don't know, I don't want to do drugs, you know, and, but a lot of people do, you know, some people, you don't drink anything.

You don't drink alcohol at all.

Some people do.

And these are things that we do in our society that might not be the best decisions or might not be for everybody, but occur in a nightlife situation that maybe you'd understand.

What I think is the issue here, however, is not a drag show you'd have at a bar at 11 o'clock at night on a Friday.

Well, this says all ages are welcome and it's going to be a family-friendly drag show.

This is what is odd.

So that is strange.

Now,

but it's the largest drag show Provo has ever seen.

Well, that's good.

I hate to go to the second largest because that would be embarrassing.

I would be pissed.

It's like going to a fireworks show and there's nothing going on.

You know, they've got like four bottle rockets.

I want the whole thing.

Right.

The fact that this is being aimed at kids is obviously a different situation, and it's a different situation, not only in like because I don't understand why you'd want

why these shows, these shows are typical.

If you've never seen one, our own Sarah Gonzalez was at the one in Roanoke and took some footage of it.

And she was on Studios America the other day and talking about it.

And you look at the footage, and it's, you know, it's people dressed in like lingerie type items.

You know, I mean, like, again,

if it was all little girls and just women, not cross-dressing, just women dressed in lingerie, I would say, why the hell are you doing that for kids?

Right.

Like, it has nothing.

It's right.

It's not that it has nothing to do with what it is, but it's, it's very like a, it's, it's not appropriate to sexualize children.

Exactly.

And so now they're trying to make these things family friendly.

So they're dressing a little bit less.

risque, I guess, but still dressing, men dressing up as women, women dressing up as men and doing these shows.

And then turning down the sexual dances or whatever it is they do a little bit.

A little bit.

You know, they get from a 10 to an eight.

It's still not something.

Yeah.

And I will say, what's hurry, like this particular community in Roanoke has a really nice, you know, main street area with great restaurants and cool little festivals they do down there all the time and shopping and stuff.

It's a great little area of town.

And

think about the ramifications here.

The bar that I guess just opened and did this drag show the other day, you know what?

Let's be honest about it.

It's a divisive issue.

Drag queen family hour has become such a thing now that any city in America can make a big deal about one of them and get enough liberals to show up to it because it's just a way to say, I don't like Republicans.

Like, that is all it is at this point to a lot of people.

So they'll show up to act like they're LGBTQQIA2 plus

positive,

helping their allies, Pat.

And they'll show up as a political statement

for a day.

But you know, week eight of the drag show, not going to be as well attended in a conservative area like Roanoke, Texas.

And you know what else?

If people who just want to go and have a normal, everyday, family, small-town time, go down to a restaurant nearby this place and see a drag show coming out, which they, by the way, did partially outdoors outdoors on the street,

as you're seeing on Blaze TV.

If you're watching now, you can see some of the details of it.

It spilled out to the outside.

Yeah.

You are not going to want to go to that area to do the regular things that are being done,

like going to restaurants and

objected to.

Right.

You don't want to be part of it.

You didn't choose to go to this.

Right.

So, not only does this hurt all of the businesses around this establishment, it also,

long-term, is probably not going to be a winner for

the bar that's actually doing it business-wise.

I mean,

yes, you can get people to drive from Dallas if you get enough media attention for one-day drag show, because there are people who want to make a political statement, but the people who live in the town were not the people there.

There may have been a few.

And there were.

We actually know that there were teachers from a nearby town that were there.

Oh, multiple teachers.

You might know the town, by the way.

I might know it pretty well.

Pretty well.

Yeah.

And so you look at this and you say, well, you know, sure, week one probably feels good, right?

If you're some liberal, you're saying you're putting it to the man, you're having this drag show.

What does week eight look like?

What does week 12 look like?

What does it look like for the business across the street that no one wants to go to anymore because they're afraid they're going to bring their kids down there and be involved in a drag show against their will?

Yeah.

You know, all of this is like, you know, this is secondary to the fact that we shouldn't be sexualizing children, but it affects a lot of people.

It does.

And it affects these areas.

You throw this on in the middle of

a Dallas nightlife district, you're not going to have that sort of negative effect to the surrounding businesses.

You think you're a badass for starting this in your own little town, and you're going to get the adoring attention of your local media, and you'll get a bunch of people tweeting support for you.

Where will they be when you need to sell a beer in eight weeks?

Nowhere.

Right.

They'll be nowhere.

And you think you're making really good strides because you're getting these events in Roanoke, Texas and Provo, Utah and really conservative areas and everybody's accepting of it now.

Well, I mean, even there are some drag queens who are speaking out against this

because they're saying, what do you, are you insane?

Of course it's sexualizing.

Of course it's sexualizing children.

When you include children in a drag queen event, yes, you're sexualizing children.

And that's, you know, people have been doing drag queen events for years who have, you know, but they don't like what's going on now with trying to bring the children into it.

Let me, I'll give you a good example of this.

If I were to tell you about an event in which a woman was standing on stage, fully dressed, and she walked around and collected money, dollar bills, from everybody in the audience, what do you think was going to happen next?

What would happen next?

She might take off her clothes.

She would take off her clothes.

Yeah.

Because that is

strip club culture.

Yes.

That's what it is.

That's where it's from.

Yes.

It's strip club culture.

It happens in no other area, right?

I mean, if you're playing music on stage, there might be a guitar case where people might put some dollars in, right?

Right.

You could see that.

So would you bring your children to that?

Because that is what it is.

It's a simulation of a strip.

No one could.

It's teaching kids that this is normal behavior.

Yep.

And it is strip club culture.

That is what it is.

And so all of that goes on whether they take their clothes off or not.

It's just that part of it, right?

It happened at this family-friendly drag show where they walked around and giggled and collected dollar bills from all the children.

Oh, they giggled?

They giggled.

Oh, well, if they giggled, then it must have been just a for-fun event.

That's true.

And let's not just get so super serious about it.

I mean, look, I'm not.

I'm not.

I honestly am not the guy who's going to sit here and get all fired up about every little thing that happens in culture.

But this is something where it's rising above that.

And, you know,

it's affecting kids.

It's affecting kids.

And it's tough.

It's a bit difficult because we've seen when you give government, for example, power over how parents parent their children, we've seen a lot of negative consequences come out of that.

And most of them have hit the right.

You know, oh, you're too religious.

Oh, you have to do this medical treatment.

We don't want you to do.

You know, how many times have we seen this stuff?

Most of this stuff affects the right.

So implementing government controls over a parent bringing their kids to something like this is something that should give conservatives pause to make sure that it's done correctly and not so broadly that it winds up affecting parents that aren't doing things.

We've seen kids go play at a park by themselves and their parents get arrested.

You know?

How many times have we seen this?

And that is the same power that conservatives are talking about using.

On the other hand, though, we have all sorts of laws that ban children from places, like strip clubs.

We don't allow them inside at all.

They're all disallowed from coming in because we understand what's going on in there.

And so there is, there is a, this is the line that I think is in the, the, the mainstream conservative debate.

Where do you draw that?

Because you don't want to give the government too much power to monitor parents in the way they parent because that's bad.

On the other hand, you can't oversexualize children.

That is not something that should be allowed in a polite society.

So that is that, that's the, the, the, the tug of war going on right now on the right.

And on the left, they're just like, ah, let everybody do everything.

You know, let everybody do everything, except, you know, of course, uh, lower their taxes

and, you know, supporting the police.

888-727-B-E-C-K, more patents do for Glenn.

The Glenn back program.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, joined by Jeffy.

Before we get to you, Jeffy, and whatever it is you came here to say, we were just

speaking about Provo Utah, and let me just say one more thing about the BYU

volleyball team and the experience that they had last week with Duke.

Racist?

Yeah, no,

no no racist slurs were yelled.

Nobody found any evidence of any of that happening.

And yet,

BYU the next day had eliminated their student section, The Rock, which is Roar of Cougars, The Rock section

where all the students go and

party.

There was no proof of anything.

And no proof.

I mean, they say it's an ongoing situation and they're going to look into it and it might change, but immediately eliminated the student section.

It's embarrassing.

It is embarrassing.

And banned a mentally challenged individual.

He didn't do well.

Yeah.

They do it well.

They've got it onto it.

He came onto the court, right?

Yeah.

He came onto the court, didn't yell any racial slurs.

Right.

What do you have?

They just heard his voice.

I just, you know what?

Let's just say that I'm a little disappointed, and I'm sure you will be too.

Okay.

It looks like the bullet train between Dallas, Texas, and Houston, Texas.

Don't tell me it's not going to be built.

Don't tell me that.

I've been disappointed too many times with bullet trains.

I can't handle another one.

Okay.

Is it not going to be happening?

I won't tell you that it's not going to happen.

Well, it's still on, but it's probably not.

You know, they don't have all the land yet, and the bosses all left.

Stu is the biggest proponent of

rail travel in the world.

They already said the Texas legislature and the courts already said that.

Yeah, you can use eminent domain.

It's fine.

Get all the property you need for the trains.

Don't worry about it.

It's incredible.

That is incredible.

The CEO and a bunch of people all left, so they're still out fundraising, but they're probably not going to be able to do it.

And what are they saying it's going to cost?

Well, they raised, I think, a couple hundred million already, maybe even more than that.

That's not going to be good.

They won't do it.

No.

Between Dallas and Houston?

We can't build a wall for 10 miles on the border for that price.

Right.

It's going to be in the billions.

Yeah, it's got to be billions.

Way in business.

But you were going to be able to get to Dallas and or Houston in 90 minutes.

That's incredible.

And let me tell you, that's only three times the amount it normally takes.

Because I took a flight to Houston.

There's two major airports in Dallas and two in Houston.

Right.

And I took a flight from here from one airport in Dallas to another airport.

I believe it was 36 minutes in the air.

36 minutes.

Yeah, but you must have paid $5,000 for it.

I bet you anything it would be less than what the bullet train would cost.

Absolutely.

The train travels 205 miles an hour, Stu.

That's slower than we can do it.

That's slower than we can do the trip now.

And here's the breaking news.

It won't travel 205 miles an hour.

It never does.

No.

That's what they said the same thing about the Acela train in the Northeast.

Like, oh, it's going 200 miles an hour.

Yeah, well, it would, maybe in like perfect laboratory circumstances.

Not when you have...

Maybe you're going straight line

from Tokyo, Japan to Osaka.

I don't know that that is a straight line, actually.

I'm not that well-versed on Japanese geography, but.

But that's normally where you do the bullet trains, right?

That's where the movie bullet train takes.

The original Texas Bullet Train was based on the Japanese Bullet Train that didn't happen.
