Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.
I lit the fuse, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
He's going the distance.
He was the highest-paid TV star of all time.
When it started to change, it was quick.
He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Now, Charlie's sober.
He's gonna tell you the truth.
How do I present this with any class?
I think we're past that, Charlie.
We're past that, yeah.
Somebody call action.
Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.
There's something about business being family-owned and fully geared toward the best interests of its customers that has always been incredibly important to Americans and may mean even more coming in the future as we kind of go through a very bumpy period.

The radio show starts here in just seconds.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of night.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Back program.
Today, featuring patents too for Glenn,
888-727-BECK, you'd like to get in touch with us.
Some interesting things happening on the climate change front.
The
big IPCC report coming out next week.
It's fascinating.
I am humped.
Me too.
Really excited about this one.
This is the one I think that shows us there's only eight years left and then we're done.
You think we have eight full years?
I think we're done in eight months.
Really?
Unless we change, unless we vote.
Well, unless we vote for Democrats in the midterms.
Then I think we've changed.
Then we'll be okay.
Then we'll be saved.
But that's the only thing that will save us, Pat.
Yeah, and there's some people out reminding us in D.C.
about this, too, and they're sitting in the middle of the freeway which is fantastic.
We'll show you those boneheads and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
The world of business has gotten harder to exist in especially for people of integrity and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Everywhere you look companies are towing the woke left line.
It's because they've been bullied into thinking it's the only way.
And when the left bullying sort of leaves off, the support of ESG scores and all the other nonsense is taking over.
You need to treasure the few businesses that will actually stand for the values you believe in.
One of those is Patriot Mobile.
Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team gives you amazing personal service.

Between the left, the media, and the rhinos, we need to stick together.
Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call them 972 Patriot.
It's 972 Patriot for Patriot Mobile.
Welcome, Pat and Stu.
Thanks for joining us on the Glenn Beck program.
There was a bunch of people that got in the way of traffic again.
This is a tactic that I absolutely love.
I think it's it's great that people just sit in the middle of the freeways.
You know, isn't that wonderful when they break the law and just show you how committed they are to their cause?
And it just makes you friendly toward their cause.
Yeah, that's me too.
That's exactly how I feel.
I always feel like, you know,
I wasn't going to support them in their fight against global warming.
And then I was like, wait a minute, you've ruined my day.
Yeah.
Now I'm going to support you.
I love your cause.
My kid is stranded.
I can't pick them up and they're stranded wherever they are.
They're like sitting outside a baseball field somewhere, just sad looking at puppy eyes and waiting for mommy or daddy to show up.
And no one's coming because you've blocked my path.
I love your cause now.
Well, yeah, you wouldn't be so selfish as to say you should be allowed to go through here.
Oh, you know, of course not.
That would be right.
I hope.
Even if you have extenuating circumstances, right?
Even if it's really extreme.
Yeah, and there's a guy here who is trying to tell him, I've got extenuating circumstances.
I could go to jail.
Check this out.
No, I'm not even gonna lie to four years on my parole if I don't make my job.
His parole will be revoked if he doesn't make it to his job.
And he'll be back in jail.
One lane.
I'm asking one lane.
Why don't you prison?
One lane.
One lane.
Let me just get through here.
This is on the Beltway in Washington, D.C.
I'm just
going to go to the jail for what
This poor guy, I mean, God knows what he did, but
did he be on parole?
I mean, maybe he's not the most sympathetic character, but this poor guy just wants to not go back to jail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But even if...
Alright, so police show up and do arrest the protesters,
but they also arrest him.
Right.
So he it doesn't even work out.
This is your story of the day, as all other stories of the day end in a very sad way.
Yep.
It's just amazing, Pat.
You know,
I don't understand it.
Like, you know,
I will say, I watch that footage, and every time I've watched it, I've watched it several times now.
And every time I watch it, I just think to myself, I would not have been able to control myself in that situation.
No way.
I would have done something stupid.
I'm not on parole.
No.
And I would have been more pissed than he is.
Yeah.
He kind of pushes one of them.
That's about as far as he goes.
He He takes their banners and he pushes one of them.
He crumpled them up, too.
He crumpled up the banners, some of them.
He might have actually discovered it.
Banner isn't exactly effective in a long line of traffic.
Only the first, the first cars are going to see it.
Right.
Really, they're going to see it.
They're going to see it for a very long time.
True.
But it's not really effective.
Here you are, you know, climate change protesters.
You're upset about climate change.
So you cause thousands of cars to idle on the freeway altogether, because that's really good for the environment.
So that's a really, it's a good move.
It really helps your cause.
I don't understand this.
First, it's illegal to sit in a roadway like that.
You're on the Capitol Beltway, which is one of the busiest freeways in the country, and you're holding up all these people.
And I don't care if they are under a time crunch or not, you shouldn't be doing it.
And they should be immediately arrested every time this happens or dragged to one side of the road, and then traffic just proceeds.
You know, this is exactly why a lot of states have passed the law that you can safely or carefully drive through these blockades.
Even when they're in the road and they won't move, you can sort of drive through them and not face prosecution.
Missouri had a law like that.
I think Oklahoma, several other places have
proposed legislation and passed legislation that it is not illegal to drive through them.
They'll move.
Believe me, I think if you start, if you drive through there, are they going to continue to just sit there?
Well,
it's good because
maybe I doubt it.
I think my plan would be
I would stand up and I would say, guys, what I'm about to do is put my car into drive.
Then I'm going to duck my head under this under the dashboard here.
And I'm not going to see what's coming up.
I'm going to duck my head and it's going to roll forward.
And if you are in front of it, you're going to get hit.
I'm not even going to see it happen, but you're going to get hit.
That is what is about to occur.
Judge your own risk and then start the engine.
Well, that's the thing.
And then anytime anybody does this and they start to drive slowly through a group like this, they start screaming bloody murder like you're trying to literally trying to murder them.
I'm sorry, you're the one that's in the roads.
This is not where you're supposed to be.
I don't know if you're aware of that.
It's a really terrible tactic.
I hate it.
It's a terrible tactic, and it does
nothing for you.
Except piss people off.
No one is sitting back there and saying, you know what?
I've reconsidered my position on fossil fuels.
Yeah, because they're sitting in a freeway.
It must be really important.
It must be really important.
It must be important.
I'm not going to do fossil fuels.
I remember this happened in Houston when you lived down there.
Do you remember this dude?
Yes, I do remember this.
It was the SEIU protest for the janitors who cleaned the buildings downtown.
And so the downtown janitors group, I don't remember what they called themselves, but they brought in a bunch of...
That's a good enough name.
Yeah, I think it is a downtown group.
They brought in a ton of people from Chicago, from SEIU headquarters, and then imported the people.
Imported them to Houston.
And then in big intersections,
they...
They would drive into the intersection and then dumped garbage in the middle of it.
I guess symbolic that, okay, here's the stuff we cleaned up last night, and now it's in the middle of the room.
Look at us, this will never get cleaned up.
That type of thing.
And that did not endear me to their plight.
No.
I'm telling you.
So they would block major interceptions with garbage.
Yeah.
Huge piles of it because they dump a whole bunch of it.
And then you were like, darn it, give these guys a raise.
No, that's not how it happened.
That is not how it happened.
No.
No, it tended to upset me and make me a bit irritable and not friendly to their cause, actually.
And out of spite, you just wind up, like I,
like, if that happened to me and I'm driving and I was sitting there in that traffic for all that time, I would, even with the cost of gas being $5 a gallon, intentionally rev my engine at every stoplight for the next month just to hurt the environment.
Now, that might not be sane.
And also, it doesn't really hurt the environment, but it...
Just symbolically to annoy them, I would do it.
Yeah.
And I would never, I would be much less likely to go along with their cause after that.
No question.
I wouldn't want to even consider it because I wouldn't want to reward them.
I don't understand how they think that helps.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Not to mention that their cause is ridiculous.
Bat crap crazy.
Yes.
It really is.
And I'm reading Alex Epstein's new book, great book, Fossil Future, right now, which is about, you know, maybe we should consider, I don't know, using more fossil fuels, not less.
Maybe actually, you know, we'll make the world a lot better if we we use more and he makes the case and it's i it's i think it's really hard to pick apart which is why the left does not engage with it that the you know there there can occasionally be you know some things about fossil fuels that are negative uh however the good totally overwhelms that right and it's and it is a unique ability
to to create that good you know we talk about okay well we can we can make solar power, we can make wind power, and obviously there's tons of problems with that and the cost and all the things that we've talked about a million times.
But also they don't even start to address major portions
of
our energy needs.
Really, they just produce electricity.
So like, you know, when you're talking about heavy machinery, how are you getting that done?
You know, I know Elon Musk has a couple of prototypes out there for long hauling with electric vehicles.
Maybe eventually that comes across.
I wouldn't put anything past Elon Musk.
You know, the guy's pretty smart and seems to be able to accomplish a lot of amazing things.
And maybe one day that technology will be real.
But as of right now, heavy-duty transportation is fossil fuels full stop.
There's no way to do it without fossil fuels.
You need them.
And
he pointed out a prediction that I had forgotten about, Pat.
A prediction from Al Gore
and a need from
a demand from Al Gore in 2008, I think it was, that we are completely off of fossil fuels by 2018.
And I thought, I sat back and I thought, what?
So in 10 years, he wanted to be completely off fossil fuels.
At no point did he try to get the actual reasoning behind that or how you would do that.
It was obviously impossible.
I mean, look at this.
We've increased our fossil fuel usage since then.
And we're not at zero, I will tell you that.
And just think of now how absurd it is.
I mean, you had, you could have never predicted someone like Elon Musk would come along, right?
A guy who was willing to throw vast amounts of his fortune at a problem he really cared about and risk losing billions of dollars, right?
He just did it because he really cared about it and was able to innovate faster than any of these major car companies could.
I mean, you could have never predicted or depended on someone like that coming along to advance in electric cars.
And even with that advancement, we're still not even remotely close.
I think it's 3% of our energy comes from renewable, from solar and wind now.
3%.
If you combine solar and wind together.
Yeah.
I think if you do solar, wind, and hydroelectric, it's like five.
Yeah, and hydro is, you know, again, another thing the left fights against all the time.
Yeah.
It just seems quite clear they don't want.
It's not about the carbon.
You know, it's about, there's this idea that you want to sort of deindustrialize this country.
Yeah, they fight against hydro and nuclear, which are both clean, renewable sources, and they won't have anything to do with either one of them.
You know, and I'm skeptical that solar or wind could ever do the types of things we need from our power supply.
Even if
the technology improved to some level where it was capable of doing a lot more, the left would complain about that too.
Did you see the car company in, I don't know, Sweden or Switzerland or somewhere
where
they have it run on solar power?
They
built solar panels into the car.
It's $245,000.
Just the $245,000.
Just the $245,000.
What's the lease price on that?
You know, probably about $80,000 a month.
That's not a very good lease.
I just got to put $100,000 down and only pay $20,000 a month.
Wow.
Yeah, it's up to you.
I'm in.
But
not only did it cost an extraordinary amount of money, but it also got you, I believe, 40 miles on a charge.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how sweet is that?
Very sweet.
Okay.
So you could almost get to work and back one day before you had to fire it back up with the sun that isn't shining by the time you get home, really.
And so what do you do with it?
It's so impractical.
We're just not there.
We're not there yet, where you can say, all right, let's turn this over and let's cut back on our fossil fuels.
And I think you and I both agree that if we were there, I'd be fine with that.
I don't have any
loyalty to fossil fuels.
I don't work for ExxonMobil.
I mean, I do recognize that they've turned
the world into a we now have like civilization largely because of fossil fuels.
So I do give them, I have a lot of affinity for fossil fuels.
I don't, I look at them as an overall
massively on the positive side of the ledger.
And it's not close.
However, if some other technology, like nuclear makes an argument here, right?
There's a possibility for nuclear, I think,
being a real player
in the world of especially electricity generation.
And I think there's an exciting future there for nuclear.
But again, it's opposed by the left.
It's opposed.
They hate it.
You can always tell a serious environmentalist from one of these idiots that's going to sit in the middle of a highway when you ask them about nuclear.
If they won't embrace nuclear, you know they're not serious about it.
Now, you might, I think I could still make the argument that it should not be our highest priority to go to zero carbon.
Like that's not, that doesn't, you know, it's ridiculous.
I mean, it's just essentially another attempt.
It's an attempt at man-made climate change.
It's like you are saying we had man-made climate change, so let's implement.
Another kind of man-made climate change.
We'll adjust everything about it and try to change the climate by man again.
I mean, this seems to be an idiotic pursuit, but if you're going to go down that road, obviously nuclear would be the way you'd go.
And they don't even address it.
They don't want anything to do with it.
And it shows they're not serious about it.
We'll tell you about the IPCC report that's coming out next week as well, coming up in one minute.
American Financing, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
A new report shows that almost 71% of Americans feel their paychecks are not going to be able to keep up with inflation, not just to be able to get ahead, but to just keep up.
We all know where this is coming from.
The people supposedly fighting inflation are the same ones giving it to us in the first place.
You have a responsibility to yourself and your family to do what you can to get ahead while it's still possible to get ahead.
This is where American financing comes in.
This time, American financing is there with power to maybe help you, unlike some of the banks.
Flexible mortgage returns and terms, cash out refinancing, even debt consolidation.
Please call them.
They don't work for the banks, they work for you.

Matt and Stu for Glenn.
Today,
scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world's temperature hasn't risen in 15 years.
A leaked copy of the UN report compiled by hundreds of scientists shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, and the U.S.
raised concerns about the final draft.
Published next week, it's expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain.
Well, sure, because if we are in the middle of global warming, 1998 shouldn't still be the warmest year on record, right?
It's been 24 years.
We should have exceeded that by now.
The report is the result of six years of work by the UN's
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC,
which is seen as the world's authority.
And this is also supposedly where they said
that one of the scientists at the IPCC is the one who supposedly said that we had, I think it was 12 years left at the time.
Now it's down to about eight or so.
And Michael Schellenberger went to that particular scientist and said, hey,
walk me through.
Where are you getting this from?
Yeah, the fact that the world's going to end in 12 years.
Yeah, I'm really glad you brought brought that up.
I've never said that.
It really is amazing.
I kind of thought it was an overblown prediction.
That's what I thought.
Or like it was misinterpreted.
No, he just had never said it.
Never said it.
Never said anything really like it.
So
this happens all the time.
And you might remember
the last time they published one of these
IPCC reports was 2007.
And they did a bunch of covering up then.
There was the email thing, the ClimateGate scandal that happened from that, where everybody's trying to
keep secrets from the people about what that report actually said.
The scientists involved were trying to manipulate their data to make it look more convincing.
And they were telling each other that, hey, we got to make this look worse than it actually is so that we can scare people into really caring and doing something about that.
You remember that?
And that went nowhere.
Everybody knows about that.
We know what manipulative liars they are, and still we're supposed to believe everything they say.
And what's the point, right?
What's the point of fighting off climate change, right?
It's to prevent climate-related deaths from happening, right?
Right.
So would, let me give you two publications, the IPCC Report and Glenn Beck's An Inconvenient Book.
Okay.
Okay.
Which publication printed the numbers of climate-related deaths over the past century?
Which one?
I'm going to say
Glenn Beck's an inconvenient book.
Why?
Because they're down 98%,
right?
If they were up, the IPCC would definitely be putting them in their report.
No,
edition after edition after edition, they don't put that little chart in their book, in their release.
Why?
It's the most important thing.
The whole point of this is to stop climate-related deaths, yet they avoid it because they're down 98%

Glenn Beck.
Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.
More Glenn Beck in a moment.
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
This new IPCC report is fascinating.
Leaked documents seen by the Associated Press yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians about a lack of global warming over the past few years.
Germany called for the references of of a slowdown in warming to be deleted because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Saying looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was misleading.
They should focus instead on decades or centuries.
I don't know if Germany's noticed this, but 15 years is more than a decade.
It's a decade and a half.
Where's your scientific backup on that?
Do you have any evidence that supports that pattern?
I do.
Yeah, I do, actually.
Really?
Yeah, 10 years is a decade.
Oh, Oh, okay.
15 is more than 10.
So that's more than a decade.
When you say
that way, it makes sense.
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, it does.
Now that you've explained it.
Okay, good.
Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change.
Well, yeah, it's called evidence.
That's why they're deniers.
That's why.
And I don't deny that there's been some warming.
I mean, we've always
admitted that.
Okay, what?
0.9 degrees over a century or whatever it's been?
So what?
That grows more plants.
You grow more food.
It's not catastrophic.
And this is what's so important is looking not only at one side of the issue.
You do a cost-benefit analysis, right?
That is, there's always, the left always wants to do one of the two things.
When they're talking about a public policy, they want to spend multiple trillions of dollars on something, it's a benefit analysis.
They don't do a cost-benefit analysis.
They do a benefit analysis.
And they say, well, here, look at this woman who is poor and on the streets, and now she's got X, Y, and Z dollars.
And look at this worst case scenario of this.
And they say, okay, here's the benefit of this policy.
No one ever considers the cost.
And if you ask them about the cost, you're the worst person on earth.
And
you can't afford not to.
That's their thing.
And you can't afford not to, of course.
They just say, it doesn't matter.
The cost doesn't matter.
We're doing a benefit analysis here.
The exact opposite happens with global warming.
When they talk about fossil fuels, all they do is a cost analysis.
What are the negative effects of fossil fuels?
They'll look through scientific reports.
They'll make crap up.
They'll do all sorts of stuff to say, okay, this is a negative effect of fossil fuels.
What would you look at?
But when you look back at the last century, Pat,
all the things that have occurred.
You could go back a century and live that lifestyle or live the one of today.
My guess is if you looked over the past century and tried to summarize it, the 0.9 degree temperature rise would be really low on the list.
There'd be a lot of other things you'd mention first.
You'd go through the development of the internet.
You'd go through
the mainstreaming of human flight.
You'd go through the fact that air conditioning has gone around the world.
And now, in many places, you can actually be comfortable.
You can have a civilization in a place like Texas that isn't constantly miserable.
Where it's 173 degrees every day.
Yeah.
And yet somehow we survive here.
I burned myself on the back of my hood of my car
or the trunk of my car when I was trying to open it yesterday.
Yeah.
It was on my little temperature gauge inside my car.
It said 107 the whole way home.
And yet, all day, I was totally comfortable.
That is, that's, that's, that is the price or the, the benefit of fossil fuels.
Civilization, the, the the rising of your
age expectancy, your life expectancy, the fact that it's gone up so much.
A lot of that has to do with fossil fuels, plastics, medicines, all the incredible benefits.
And what do we talk about all the time?
Only the costs.
How is that possible?
I don't know.
And they won't talk about
reasonable alternatives.
What they want to do is spend $100 trillion
on technology that doesn't even exist yet, like wind and solar, that just can't get us there.
As we've mentioned many times, it's about 3%
of our energy is what it provides.
3%?
That's after all of the promotion and multiple decades of and funding it 25 to 1 with subsidies from the U.S.
government over oil.
They always talk about, oh, gas and oil receive so much subsidies from the government.
It's 25 to 1
solar and wind to oil, to fossil fuels.
Yeah,
especially when you break it down by megawatt, right?
Like, it's a lot.
It's a lot of money we throw at this stuff.
And, you know, we all know that, right?
I mean, when I don't think Tesla's currently in this situation anymore, but the.
They were given $7,000 a car, right?
At the beginning.
And I know a lot of other electric cars still have this.
The average person who's buying an electric car is earning six figures.
These are expensive vehicles.
Yeah.
I'll bet the Volts still provide you with a little kickback from the government.
Is the Volts still around?
I don't even even know.
I think it is.
It was one of the first attempts at an electric car by a major car company and, you know, was not
beloved.
No.
But like, you know, the fact that you're paying, I mean, the Prius was even an example of this.
You're paying thousands of dollars
from the government in tax funding and subsidies and incentives to buy a car that is going to make, look, no difference.
I mean, you know.
Absolutely no difference.
You know, we, there was a, I remember the stack going back years now, but it was, and I know it's, it's grown probably even worse.
But at the time, China was building enough, just what China had planned in the future for coal plants was just coal.
It was one type of energy.
And not what they had already, but just the increase in the amount of coal they were going to burn was the equivalent of three billion Ford expeditions, all driven 15,000 miles a year.
Oh, my gosh.
That's more.
Now, that's more, of course, obviously, than Ford has ever produced.
Wow.
And could ever produce.
Uh-huh.
So it just shows you how meaningless it is to sit here and obsess about,
you know,
buying an electric car or buying a hybrid.
It's just like, it's just not that big of a part of the problem if you actually agree that it is a problem.
It's still meaningless in the grand scope of things.
And they won't look at an alternative like nuclear, which is renewable and clean,
but of course they're afraid.
That's what they say anyway.
There's going to be the China syndrome.
Oh, yeah.
You're going to have a nuclear meltdown.
Like we had at Three Mile Island, which killed so many people.
Zero, yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly zero.
Yeah, but everybody in the area, like in the surrounding area of Three Mile Island, got the equivalent.
There were a lot of people there.
The equivalent radiation of a chest x-ray.
Well, that was the worst case scenario.
Yeah.
The worst case scenario.
One chest x-ray.
One full set of chest x-rays was
the worst effect of anyone when it comes to Three Mile Island.
And how many people have died from one chest x-ray?
Probably not that many.
Very few.
Yeah, very few.
Yeah, that's why the doctors give them to you.
But it doesn't normally kill you.
I see that you're ignoring Chernobyl, which killed
70, 80 million people.
It's a shade.
100 million.
It's lower than that, actually.
It is.
Shade.
Yeah.
Lower than 70 million?
56.
56.
million 56 million people wow still that's
well not not exactly 56 million 56
people yeah fifth 56 56 they do think now again put in perspective what Chernobyl was it was uh it had no it had no rights operating it was the Soviet Union attempting to uh to put together nuclear power.
They had no idea what they were doing.
They did not fund the they didn't care about the citizens around there.
They didn't they did everything wrong.
A million things went wrong on top of that.
Then the Soviet Union didn't tell anyone what was happening.
They didn't protect anyone.
They lied.
They cut off communications to the area so people couldn't tell anyone what was going on.
They did all of these things, and still 56 people died.
This is according to the UN, by the way.
They do believe that it's possible up to a couple thousand could die from long-term cancer risk, though that has not yet occurred, but it could manifest itself.
You know, at this point, you had kids drinking milk from radiated cows and goats,
and the government didn't tell them anything about it.
Now, I don't think that's how we would handle that situation.
No, no, no.
And of course, the technology is much improved.
We never utilized technology like the Soviet Union was using there.
But still,
we had backups and safeguards and all kinds of things that were built into the system.
Yes.
And even with that,
while it was a tragic event, and there were heroic people from the Soviet Union that attempted to minimize that and were greeted and thanked for their efforts by being thrown into essentially a sea of nuclear radiation.
Most of the people who died from that incident were people who were working there and were trying to stop it, honestly, legitimately, heroically trying to stop it.
But, you know, come on.
Everybody knows.
Especially when you look at the generation of this, you see that it is the safest form of electricity ever created.
I see what you're trying to do here.
You're trying to ignore the obvious Fukushima and the tens of thousands of people who died from Fukushima.
No, nobody died from the Fukushima nuclear part of it.
They died from the tidal wave.
Yeah, there was a tsunami that happened.
Now, I will say this, to be fair here, okay?
A tsunami happened.
Right.
Lots of people died.
The nuclear incident, the meltdown, the risks of that going on went on and it was very scary.
And so the government did what they had to do and they evacuated a lot of people from that area to protect them.
I will say far more people died in the evacuation efforts than died from the nuclear radiation.
In fact, nobody died from the nuclear radiation.
It's incredible, isn't it?
And the way
all three of those incidents have been spun, it's like...
You know, they were the worst catastrophe, some of the worst
catastrophes mankind's ever seen.
Yeah.
And And it's just not so.
And Chernobyl was legitimately
bad.
But again, nothing on this issue.
But like you said, the Russians had no safeguards.
They didn't build it right.
China built a dam.
Okay.
This is hydroelectric power.
They built a dam.
The dam collapsed.
Hundreds of thousands of people died.
One dam.
Hundreds of thousands of people died.
When one dam
failed, it wiped out just an entire valley of people.
Was that the one that was so big it caused a wobble in the rotation?
That's a different one.
That's a different one.
That one did not collapse.
That one still stands.
But that one's really, really big.
But again, like, you know, that's just one thing.
Obviously, coal mining, we all know the danger is there over a long period of time.
Tons and tons and tons and tons of people have died
working there.
There's risks drilling for oil.
Oil
lung comes to mind.
Yeah, there's
not desirable.
And that's not to say
that you stop
mining for coal, but it just has risks.
Nuclear power has killed comparatively, incredibly few people.
It is absolutely the most safe form of electricity generation that we have ever contemplated as human beings.
It is that far.
you know the left doesn't care about that they don't care that it's carbon neutral it does not emit any co2 they don't care about any of that.
They don't care that you're paying all this money for electricity right now when there is a potential source of energy that is limitless
and it's available right now.
And not to mention, we don't even use the updated technology.
All of the innovation that's happened in the past 40 and 50 years isn't even utilized because the left has stopped all these new plants from being built.
It is a disgrace.
Really is.
Especially when you have multiple billion people in this country, or excuse me, in this world, that it don't really have access to energy at all.
How can we not be innovating in these areas?
It's really, it really is a crime against humanity.
And to top it off, when the IPCC report comes out next week, I bet they don't, there's no mention of the fact that the temperature has not risen in the last 15 years.
No mention of it.

Life is about being active.
Whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising, you know you're well when you're regularly active.
But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day?
This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago.
Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for, was held captive to almost constant nagging pain.
When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance.
Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since.
And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back.
I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start for only $19.95.

It's Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
888727-BECK.
I couldn't help but notice you're wearing the 624-22 t-shirt today.
I am.
Proudly displaying it.
Do you know what happened on 624-22?
Man, I just can't remember.
It was so what?
What was it?
You might not be able to remember, Pat, but Sunday, which was the day that the Supreme Court decision came down overturning Roe versus Wade.
Oh.
And implementing
just a touch of sanity in this country when it comes to the issue of life.
If you want to get a shirt that's, you know, or we also have mugs and hats and stickers and such, but all with the 624.22 on it.
A little American flag.
It's a cool, it's a cool shirt, cool look.
It's simple.
It's
it's I and that's how I like them.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
It's at stewdoesmerch.com, by the way.

You can use the code stew10 if you want to save 10% right now.
But I don't know, man.
I feel like
we're at that point where
people are going to forget.
They want you to remember January 6th.
That's for sure.
Everyone knows that date.
Oh, yeah.
You'll never be able to get rid of that date.
Stu, that was the day that democracy almost died.
It was on the
it was almost killed that day.
So, of course, we remember J6.
Do we live in a democracy?
democracy?
No, no, we do not.
So I don't know how big a deal it would have been here, but democracy almost died that day.
Now, Now, that's very, very, very important.
I'm going to say that, I don't know, the life and death of 65 million people is
this is going to be a slightly higher priority.
So it's two things close.
But one is just inching out the other, and you have the three-hour delay on that vote
being the January 6th situation.
That's a little lower than the tens of millions of people.
63 million babies being killed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, it's
again, it's a tough call.
Interesting.
It's interesting you feel that way that's well again i'm not a woman whatever and women's rights if well i could identify that way i suppose and get those rights but right now i don't have those rights so therefore i can't really you're not a woman because i couldn't tell i'm not a biologist so i didn't i didn't know but you're saying a biologist could tell well wow what a jerk
this is the glenn back program
I love my dog and I'm sure you love yours as well.
So we have that in common.
And I will bet we have something else in common when it comes to our dogs because we love them.
We want them to eat in a way that is going to contribute to their overall health and happiness, maybe extend their life a little bit.
A few years ago, I discovered that Rough Greens did that for my dog.
I mean, President Miles, there's just, I mean, I love the guy.
He's my dog.
He's 17.
By all appearances, it does not look like he should still be alive.
He's very old.
He moves very slowly at this point, but he can get, I'll tell you this, you sprinkle that rough greens on his food.
He gets up no problem and he makes it over to that bowl.
It's important.
Now, Joe Biden and President Miles, first of all, President Miles is
younger and more coherent.
than our president right now.
But I will tell you this, Rough Greens is helping that scenario.
Maybe we should feed Joe Biden rough greens.
Just Just an idea.
Rough greens isn't a dog food.
It's a supplement you sprinkle on top of that dog food.
And it's filled with the vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, all the things your dog needs to be healthier.
Dogs absolutely love it.
That's the most important thing.
You can get a free bag of rough greens right now for your dog to try out.
All you do is pay shipping.
Go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33-833-GLEN33 or roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

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 Glenn Back program.
With Patton Stew this week for Glenn,
more information comes out
in the Uvalde shooting.
It seems to get worse every single time we get new information.
We'll tell you about that that and much more coming up in about 60 seconds.
In life, there are good and bad surprises.
Finding 20 bucks, good surprise.
Car breaking down, really bad surprise.

So
we found out something else about Uvalde, and it just
gets more incomprehensible every single time, really.
Apparently, an officer had the shooter in his sights.
And couldn't get the okay to fire.
I didn't really realize we had rules of engagement like that for police officers.
When you see somebody who has a rifle heading into an elementary school,
it seems like you take the shot.
Doesn't it?
Well, especially after the guy has already shot at people.
Right.
You know, yes, that's true.
Because he had taken random shots at people outside the school.
Yeah, he came, he got in the car accident.
He got out.
People ran over to help him and he started shooting at them.
That's how this whole thing started.
So he'd already fired the weapon multiple times, and you're right.
I don't understand why you would need approval over something like that.
Could have been shot before he enters the building and avoid all of this tragedy.
It really is.
It's just, it's sickening.
I don't understand how each of these things happened along the way
from law enforcement.
You know, we're huge supporters of law enforcement.
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
I mean, I, I, the, the.
But this is incomprehensible.
It is incomprehensible.
It does seem like it's going down.
Every single decision that was made seems to be be
worse and worse.
And there's all sorts of miscommunication.
They think that maybe the request wasn't heard.
They didn't hear it.
Seems really
difficult.
All this stuff seems difficult to understand or believe.
And the fact that they spent multiple days saying how great they were is really a frustrating part of this, right?
The initial response, I mean, they told the governor here, Greg Abbott, hey, these guys are heroes.
They're fantastic.
You got to praise them.
He comes out in the press conference and does that, basically.
He's like, hey, it looks like they really minimized this.
And now he's furious about it because, you know, what he was told was completely upset.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The opening press conference was really inaccurate.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't think it was his fault.
No, it wasn't.
But Greg Abbott's fault.
Yeah.
It's just that they didn't do anything right, it seems.
I mean, everything they could have done, they didn't do.
And I mean, this was
completely avoidable.
yeah i guess you know i guess you're right i i think it's really hard to stop these things and i think the idea that you can compass common sense gun legislation and you're going to stop mass shootings is idiotic right it is it is
it is
it's almost incomprehensible incomprehensible how dumb it is.
It doesn't make any sense.
Even if you pass common sense gun reform and you were right that the reason why
they,
the reason why these things happen is because there's so many guns in this country.
Now, none of this is actually true, but even if you did it, all you'd be doing is slowing the new purchases of firearms.
There'd still be all these guns out there.
So, and you probably honestly wouldn't slow the purchase of new firearms.
What happened when they banned AR-15s and quote-unquote assault rifles back in the day, which was 94 to 2004, if I'm not mistaken?
What wound up happening happening was, of course, no effect on homicide rates, as the reports from the government clearly stated.
There was no effect.
What they did see is a few
shootings that may have occurred with assault rifles, quote unquote,
wound up happening with handguns.
So that was the big savings there.
You wound up getting shot by a handgun instead of an AR-15, and you wound up dying anyway.
That was essentially what the government found.
If there was any effect at all, they said it was almost impossible to detect any effect whatsoever.
Well, wait a minute, but you're talking about an AR-15, which was created for the sole purpose of killing people, as opposed to a handgun
for
doorstops.
A lot of the handguns are used as a doorstop.
That's the main creation.
That's the main reason for their use.
But what happened was, Pat, and this makes a lot of sense.
Let's say you got a couple thousand dollars you're wanting to drop on an AR-15.
And let's say they get banned.
You can't buy an AR-15 for $2,000.
What are you going to do with that 2K?
My guess is you're going to buy two, three, four handguns.
How many guns are you going to buy for that 2K?
You're going to wind up spending, and that's what happened, of course.
The amount of guns in the country increased dramatically over this period where they banned AR-15s.
You know, it's just, this stuff doesn't make any sense.
And you look how impossible it is to stop these events.
Here's, here's Illinois with all these, all the, the gun love, uh, anti-gun utopia of Illinois, where they've passed every one of these laws.
They first tried to come out and do what they always do.
Well, other states nearby have loose gun laws.
And a lot of times, we don't have any evidence to back this up, but a lot of times people are buying them in like Indiana.
And coming across the border with them, and then they're committing their crimes because that's what gang members do all the time, Pat.
They go, you know, guys, let's drive to Indiana to acquire some weapons.
Let's not take them in criminal actions or borrow them from other criminals.
Let's go to a real gun store in Indiana and get our background checked because that's going to really be helpful.
That's not what happens.
And they tried that initially.
Then they found out, ah, crap, he bought it in Illinois.
So they bought all these guns in Illinois.
He was over 21.
I think he actually, I think he purchased it.
technically before he turned 21, but he could have purchased it because he was 20.
I think he was above, you know, he was past the age.
He could have bought it 21, even if you changed the limits.
He still would have been able to acquire these weapons.
And he went through this whole process.
They had the red flag opportunities.
Everything was there.
All the tools you could have possibly needed.
And still he bought these guns and still he did these things.
In the Valdez situation, you can't, I don't think you can stop him from going to that school with that gun.
It's just really difficult to do this.
As I pointed out the other day, there's 150,000 schools in this country, 150,000 of them.
They all go to school 180 days a year.
Hundreds of students go to each one.
It's really difficult to pick up that one kid who's going to do something like this.
But when the police happen to be there and they happen to have a scope
pointed at the guy who's about to walk into the school.
Yes, you could have prevented this one.
Paul the trick.
Pull the trick.
And do it.
And you know what?
No one's going to, you know,
I think they're aware that
they're terrified, right?
Every time they shoot, every time they take the wrong action, if, God forbid they make a mistake, God forbid they do something that's not so crystal clear.
We see what happened.
The other day, the other shooting that we talked about with police, where they shot a guy who had fired their weapon at them while out of a moving car
and everyone's in the street protesting the cops over it.
Yeah.
So I can understand why they're hesitant, but in this situation it seemed like they should have done the right thing.
But the guy goes in.
There were so many opportunities.
You know, the door to the classroom he was in wasn't even locked.
Unbelievable.
We find out that information because initially we thought it was locked.
And so they tried the door handle and it was locked and they couldn't get in.
And so they couldn't figure out how to get in.
Do I break it down with a battering ram?
Do I get a key from a janitor?
And in fact, that we heard they got a key from a janitor.
No, they didn't even need one.
It was open.
That's what's so shady about this.
Look, the police, look, obviously understood a lot went wrong here immediately.
And instead of taking responsibility for it and saying, And I think there were officers that we're going to find out did do the right thing here and say to the media, hey, guys, what they're telling you is not true.
I think we're going to find out there were some real heroes in that group that wound up going to the media behind the scenes and
telling them what really went on here.
Because I think the leadership there decided, how do we cover this?
How do we make this look like it was not as bad as it was?
And, you know, in the moment, you can understand some of the decisions you can kind of come up with some rationale for.
I don't understand what the rationale for, though, is
for an officer to have to ask permission to take that shot.
Bizarre.
That's incomprehensible.
It's really bizarre.
On the other hand, we have this situation where a hero citizen actually saw something and said something, like we're always told to do, and it prevented another tragedy on the 4th of July.
It's just so weird that there were these.
two would-be attackers that were planning another massacre in Richmond, Virginia.
But fortunately, there was a resident who overheard a conversation between the two of them, went to police, and police were able to apprehend the two men who had two rifles, a handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition.
So
who knows how big a tragedy that could have happened, and yet it was prevented.
The sad truth about this is that is just really hard to do.
It is.
Think of what are the odds of them, this one person overhearing this conversation and thankfully coming forward with that information.
But it's really, really, really hard to prevent this stuff.
You know, if you're going to have gatherings of people, there's always going to be some psycho that is out there trying to do something bad.
And the good thing is there's not a lot of them.
But the bad thing about there not being a lot of them is it's really hard to make a difference.
It's hard to minimize these things.
It really is.
you you could do your best to try to to go after uh you know these people when you hear these rumors of uh you know when they're making videos uh about potential threats and and fetishizing shooters and and things like this we've seen this trail of behavior but like we also live in a country and this is a good thing that does not just arrest people when they say things that sound bad.
You know, we live in a country where we don't go, we're not supposed to, go through everybody's private communications and do
all their bad things and arrest them before they've committed crimes.
That's just not, you know, I don't know if there's a, if there's a level of, you know,
I don't know what the answer is here, honestly, because it's such,
this is the thing that the media doesn't want to admit.
The reason why it's really difficult to deal with is because it's a really small problem.
I know it feels like it's a big problem.
We talked about this the other day off the air pat.
We went through there, they say, what are those, 309 mass shootings or something this is?
Big headline on drudge three uh the fourth of july shooting was the nation's 309th no such shooting don't need to convince you that that's nonsense because you know it's nonsense there have not been 309 mass shootings unless you can you you consider every you come up with the most ridiculous wide definition we all know what mass shootings are when we say it it comes from the nonprofit gun violence archives right
so you're saying that's inaccurate i am going to say that that is wow not necessarily that they're people get shot in gangs all the time.
And if you shoot two people in a gang, they count it, you know, as a mass shooting.
That's not what we're talking about, right?
We know what a mass shooting is.
This crime of spectacle, right?
This thing where you're going out, trying to get attention, trying to kill as many people as possible randomly, usually.
We count three of them this year.
Yeah.
Not 309.
Three, three.
Three.
And by the way, they've all happened in the past seven weeks.
So it's really on our minds right now.
But this entire year, there have been three, what I would consider the traditional definition of a mass shooting.
That's Uvalde is the July 4th, and Buffalo.
Those three, I think, really do qualify.
Like, for example,
next on the list for the amount of people dead
was a terrible, terrible story.
But you tell me if this fits your definition of a mass shooting.
A guy is in prison.
He escapes prison, acquires a gun, goes to a campsite where a family is camping and kills everybody in the family at a campsite.
Now,
escaped prisoner.
I mean, a terrible, unthinkable tragedy.
As this, I think it was the grandfather of these kids
was just out there like trying to have a great weekend with his kids camping alone in the middle of the wilderness and gets
really sad and gets killed.
That's not what we would consider a mass shooting.
It's an escaped prisoner.
How do you blame gun laws for that one?
I believe he was not able to own a gun in prison, so I don't think
anything would have been prevented by common sense gun reform on that one.
You know, a lot of this stuff is there's another
shootout between two gangs in the middle of the inner city.
Again, not at all what we would think about when we think of a mass shooting.
By that definition, there have been three of them this year.
Three is more than zero, which is the goal.
But stopping three incidents in a country of 330 million people,
man, that is a tough, tough task.
It is.
And you're talking about a few dozen people every year die from these mass shootings.
That is terrible, and we want it to be zero.
But like
it is really hard in a country of 330 million people to take
30 deaths and turn it to zero.
That's a very difficult task.

If you're living with aches and pains, especially if they're frequent and nagging and relentless, I want you to take a moment and think back to the last time you really felt good.
Can you even remember what it felt like?
Now, here's even a more important question: What would you give to go back to feeling like that again?
Maybe it would just be nice to take a stroll with your loved one or play with your grandchildren.
I've suffered from persistent, crippling pain almost all the time for about five years.
When I started taking Relief Factor, I took it because my wife made me start taking it.
I didn't think it would work for me.
Yet, here I am today, virtually pain-free, doing the things I love to do, all thanks to my wonderful wife and Relief Factor.
I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Are you part of that 70% that can get your life back?

So what the Biden administration would say about what you just said, that it's really hard to stop all shootings in this country.
So you're willing to accept the fact that this is just going to happen?
No, I am not willing to accept it.
I want to take lots of actions to stop it.
But I think like if you were to say,
what should we try to prevent to make the most difference?
You would not focus on mass shootings.
It just
taking 30 deaths, like, I don't know how many people die from the most, you know, from die from, you know,
falling off their bed every year, from,
you know, drowning in a pool every year, like all of those things you want to prevent, but they're very hard to get to zero.
It's very difficult to get those things to zero in a country.
And
if you like, if you like, to me, I think that the number one thing, if we were going to focus on gun violence to actually make a difference, the number one thing we should focus on is suicide.
It's half of gun deaths.
Many, many of them are
preventable deaths that are caused by people against themselves, obviously, but are surrounded by people who love them and want to prevent it, like actually want it to stop.
There are some that, you know, you're people living alone, that they're going to do their thing and it's going to be really hard to stop those.
But, you know, you think of like a child who's, you know, 18 years old, 17, 16 years old, going through a tough time, you know, not putting into perspective that high school means nothing and
maybe tortured by their everyday life and their parents love them and don't know what to do.
And like those things are going to be hard to prevent too, but like those types of things are,
you could, if you could shave 10%
off of suicides in this country, it would do much more difference than eliminating all mass shootings.
Numbers-wise, it's not even remotely close.
Yeah, because it's in the thousands.
Oh, yeah.
I mean,
tens of thousands, even?
Yeah, tens of thousands of total gun deaths.
So, I mean, suicides per year by gun is, you know, it's about half that number.
So, I mean, you could, if you could just trim a little bit off of that, it would be statistically much better than eliminating all mass shootings now look the mass shooting thing is real there's a psych psyche uh psychological issue that goes along with it where like you know a lot of people will be terrified to go to the next parade because of what they saw on television part of this is the media constantly talking about this stuff and glorifying it and and and giving these people what they want so they try for these attention-getting crimes over and over again.
But generally speaking, your best defense against mass shooting is not common sense gun reform.
It's the odds.
The odds are it's almost impossible.
If you went to a festival every day for the rest of your life, you almost definitely would not be at one where anything like this happened.
That's just the bottom line is it's, I mean, the people that it happens to are not, they don't feel any better by hearing that.
Right.
When it does happen to you, it does happen to you.
And that you do everything you can to try to stop stop it.
But it's like the odds of it happening are so incredibly low.
It's almost impossible to believe you'll ever be involved in something like this.
And you hear that from every one of the people that it happens to.
Like, I never thought it would happen to me.
Well, that's probably the right position, honestly.
It doesn't mean you don't take any precautions.
It doesn't mean we don't try to stop the people, but you probably should live your life as if it's never going to happen to you.
It's probably the best way to live your life.
Because it's almost certainly not going to.
Right.
So, yeah, absolutely.
Triple 8727BECK, Patton Stu for Glenn.
The Glenn Back Program.
These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything, especially when you're online.
But with all that information just floating out there, it can make the internet a practical gold mine for identity thieves.
Actually, that's not fair to gold miners.
Mining is actually hard work.
Stealing your identity is dangerously easy.
It's also incredibly costly and terribly frustrating if you get hacked.
Now is an easy time to join up with LifeLock and help protect yourself with Life Lock by Norton.
Lifelock monitors your information and alerts you to personal identity threats.
And if you are a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it.

Patents due for Glenn this week.
WNBA star Brittany Greiner
pleaded guilty today in a Russian court to drug charges that carry up to 10 years in prison, according to Reuters and a Russian state media report.
Now,
because she here's what she's accused of: hashish oil in her luggage.
In her vape cartridges.
Okay, that's a 10-year prison problem?
In Russia?
No.
In Russia.
In Russia, I guess.
Does she really have it in her
suitcase?
I don't know.
Certainly, my first instinct is to believe that the Russian government just
retaliating
right there.
That's what they're angry at us.
Felt like in the beginning.
And we've seen that happen, obviously, many times over the years.
Her statement was interesting.
She said, I'd like to plead guilty, Your Honor, but there was no intent.
I didn't want to break the law, she said in court.
So it makes me think that maybe she either didn't realize that it was illegal and she actually did have it, or,
you know, it could just be that's her excuse.
There's some speculation that this is a precursor to a deal being made with America that she will be released, but she needs to
feel guilty first.
Yeah, I hope that's true.
Maybe that is the deal they made.
She also said, I'd like to give my testimony later.
I need time to prepare.
Well, you've had like three months, have you not?
It seems like the one thing she would have time is to prepare her testimony.
Yeah.
But it's, you know, she needs to be brought back to the United States.
And I can't believe they let this linger all this time.
Again, if Donald Trump were in office, I don't think this would be an issue.
I think she'd be here by now.
Oh, I think.
She would have been here a long time ago.
Honestly, the war probably doesn't start.
So
we can reverse a lot of the negative effects we've seen over the past few months.
Yeah.
But I i think it's funny because the media is like well you know if this was tom brady
then we'd really be upset about it and you know what it would be first of all if it was tom brady specifically tom brady as an eagles fan i don't know how upset i would be but uh
but it would be a much bigger deal but it would be it's true it would be if it was lebron james it'd be a much bigger deal
yeah it's not my favorite example either i know i how about this uh kevin durant i like okay he seems to be great And I like Kevin Durant.
So there you go.
Kevin Durant.
Steph Curry.
Steph Curry.
If Steph Curry was to be there by now, it would be
the biggest international incident in the world.
And of course,
the implied thing there is that we care about men and we don't care about women.
No, we care about people who are super famous.
If it was Serena Williams, I think people would be
up in arms.
Right.
Like it would be a huge, huge deal.
Not that many people know who Brittany Griner is.
I mean, she's a famous female basketball player, but I don't know who the best Pinochle player is in the United States.
And if it was the most famous pinuckle player in the United States, I don't.
Are you comparing women's WNBA basketball to pinnuckle?
I know it's unfair to the pinnacle people.
I'm just trying to come up with some.
I don't know what the best lacrosse player in the country.
I don't follow lacrosse at all.
I had heard Brittany Griner's name, and I don't even know why.
I think, was she like one of the first people who maybe dunked in the WNBA?
Maybe.
Maybe I was like, she's like 8'7 or something.
She's very tall.
I don't even know why I know her name.
I don't watch WNBA basketball.
I don't care about WNBA basketball.
And that's why people aren't as up in arms as if it was Tom Brady or LeBron James or Steph Curry.
That's why.
It's not because it's a woman.
That's just a ridiculous, it's just because people don't really follow it and don't really know who she is.
That's why.
It's interesting that she wrote a letter to Biden earlier this week, urging his administration to help her and other American detainees.
She said, I realize
she's cutting him some slack here, which he doesn't deserve.
No.
I realize you're dealing with so much, but please don't forget about me and the other American detainees.
Please do all you can do to bring us home.
If this was Trump and he had ignored this situation like Biden has, oh my gosh, that would not have been the tenor of, or the tone of her letter.
And she brings up, I think, a really important point here, which is we know her name, but there are other American detainees and we don't know their name.
And what's the reason for that?
It's because she's famous and they're not, right?
Yes.
We should be fighting for Brittany Greiner to come by back because she's an American citizen.
And particularly assuming if she didn't do this, but even if she did, it does seem like pretty clear retaliation at some level.
We should be trying to get her home because we care about American citizens, whether they're famous or not.
It's got nothing to do with whether she's a good basketball player or whether you know.
What if she was the worst player in the WNBA that happened to be over there?
We should still be trying.
It's got nothing to do with her.
But
if she worked at Walmart as a greeter, we should be fighting to get her out.
And many of these other people that are detained are those types of people.
I mean, we just got one of them back relatively recently in a swap.
That's right.
And like, we should be always working on that.
And I will say that was one thing that Trump focused a lot of his attention on.
I mean, he was working
those back channels a lot and was successful in getting a lot of people who we kind of had left for dead, I think, as a society, just for that, we're never going to get them back.
And was able to get a bunch of them.
I mean, the North Korean situation was a big example of that.
But it happened multiple times during his presidency.
He spent a lot of time thinking about that.
And I think that's part of the reason why.
If you want to believe the best motivations here, it's part of the reason why the media hasn't gone too, too crazy on this in that you don't,
the best thing might not be
everybody constantly talking about her being over there for the back channel stuff to work.
My guess is there are diplomats trying to make this happen.
I don't think Biden's done a good job with this or anything else, but I'm sure there are efforts going on to try to make this situation go away.
And it may come to a good resolution here at some point.
But like, constantly focusing attention on it is probably pretty good for the unknown detainee.
It might not be so good for a well-known detainee.
If you're caught with hashish oil at DFW,
what do you think the penalty would be?
I mean, would they you probably you might get arrested.
Yeah, it would be a federal drug crime, right?
$500 fine, and they'd tell you to go home.
Maybe.
I mean, you might
maybe,
I mean, you know, airports are always weird, right?
Like 10-year sentence.
Like, if you are in line at a concert and you make some joke about the security, right?
Yeah.
The security guard's going to be like, dude, it's not funny.
Or, all right, all right, enough, enough, right?
That's the end of it.
If you're doing it at an airport, we all know you're probably going to be there for the next six hours in the back room and probably going to jail.
Yes.
So, I mean,
when it comes to airports, people are a little, you really shouldn't bring drugs through airports.
But that's a little safety tip for the audience.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So it's your recommendation to leave the hashish oil at home.
That's not exactly my recommendation, Pat.
I might recommend, and this is, I don't want to be judgmental here, you don't acquire the hashish oil
at any point.
At all?
Yes.
Like just live your life hashish free.
Wow.
That would be my generalized recommendation.
But keep Coke, toot, nose candy.
That's totally fine.
Totally.
No, it's fine.
Don't try to put it.
That's totally fine.
Anything, Coke, toot, nose candy.
a little heroin here and there.
Totally fine.
Totally fine to bring on planes as far as I'm.
You can shoot up on planes now.
Now, you can't misgender the stewardess.
No.
Who is
it?
You're going to have some problems.
But heroin, I'm pretty sure, is okay on planes these days, but be careful with the hashish oil.
Look,
it is.
It's a situation where a lot of times rules are on the books in these countries that are adversarial to us
and many times are not going to be applied to the fullest extent of the law.
Like you have hashish oil, you're going through, I don't know, does every Russian citizen, you know, a lot of them probably do, right?
Russia's not exactly known for their
nuanced law enforcement.
It's not really the way that they roll.
But clearly, I think Brittany Griner is getting the worst of this because of the current situation.
Definitely.
Even if she did do it, which is highly questionable.
We don't know that at all.
Right.
Could it have been planted, not there at all?
Not there at all.
I think very definitely it could have, but she did sort of admit to it.
But again, that could be part of the deal.
Right?
That could be part of, okay, just admit to being guilty and we'll send you home next week or whatever.
We all know it's just not helpful.
That's what it is.
It's not going to improve your situation to say, these people are framing me.
That's not going to help you.
You're already in Russian prison.
You don't want to necessarily inflame the situation.
When you come home, long live Ukraine.
You probably don't want to scream that in the Russian airport either.
It's just like not bringing a hashish oil on an airplane.
I would also say, don't say long live Ukraine while you're in Russian prison.
Those are the two things I would say.
Good safety tips.
It's the only two tips I have for you today.
Okay.
Here's another piece of breaking news.
Boris Johnson has resigned as Prime Minister of Great Britain.
He's resigning, but he is going to stay on until they figure out who else it's going to be.
And that could be, who knows?
He said October.
He originally was just going to try to ride this out.
And I don't fully understand the parliamentary system.
I mean, this happens in Israel like five times a year.
They have elections and they have no confidence votes.
And then suddenly somebody's quitting and they have to do another election for the fifth time in the last couple of years.
But
Britain has a sort of similar thing.
If people don't like him, I guess they have to step down.
I don't know.
It's a bizarre.
I almost wish that was our system right now because can we turn that system on for like a week?
Like a week, you know, and then go back to being a republic, but just for a week.
Yeah, and wouldn't that be nice?
The accusation here is that I guess one of his underlings had some sexual harassment issue in the past.
Right.
And they, I guess they found out about it, punished him.
He stuck around and then had a second incident.
Yeah.
And they got rid of him.
And when they asked Boris Johnson about it, he says he didn't remember the first incident.
I think most people don't believe him.
They think he was just trying to hide it or cover it up.
And that's why I guess his own party turned on him, which means he has to step down.
There were also some allegations about parties during
a previous
swindle that he survived.
It was a big deal for the people, apparently.
He survived.
Well, I mean, look, the Gavin Newsom thing was a big deal here.
But the same thing happened as the Gavin Newsom thing.
Like, he got the heat for it.
A recall or a no-confidence vote.
And he survived that.
But they both survived it.
In Gavin Newsom's case, it's sad that he survived it because the people of California are forced to deal with that nonsense.
And I will say this: there's an increasing chance that we here in America are forced to deal with it because Gavin Newsom quite clearly is angling to run in 2024
if the opportunity presents itself.
And if this election, this midterm, goes as well for Republicans as I hope it does,
it's going to create an incredible amount of pressure on Joe Biden to not go forward in 2024.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, Biden loves his power, though.
I don't know that he does.
I don't know that he'll fold to that pressure, but it's possible.
Triple 8-727-BECK.
More Patent Stewart coming up.
The Glenbach program.
Ever since he tried the rough greens for the first time, my dog, Uno, has changed.
He's a completely different dog.
I hear from people all the time in the audience.
I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog.
They've heard me talk about rough greens on the show.
They get some from themselves.
And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.
And it's really good for him.
It's not a dog food.
It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
Your dog needs these things to be healthy.
My dog was easy.
From the first time he tried rough greens, Uno was in love.
Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.
Dr.
Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.
He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
So right now, he's got a special gift available.
You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.
All you pay is shipping.

It's Batten Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
Have you seen this Kyle Rittenhouse ad
he's taken out?
he's doing this uh media thing, the media accountability movement that he's doing.
Did you guys you guys had him on when he was here a couple of weeks ago?
Yep, uh, yeah, not a couple weeks ago, but he was on
previous to that, yeah, previous to that.
Yeah,
uh, he when he was on my show a couple of weeks ago, he was talking about this media accountability uh campaign that he's doing, and and uh, here's a look at how that's going:
the media is the most powerful entity on earth.
They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.
That's power.
That white supremacist 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.
A 17-year-old vigilante, arguably a domestic terrorist, Kyle Rittenhouse, a militiaman wannabe.
President Joe Biden, who used a picture of Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist.
He's absolutely white supremacist.
Innocent, do you feel vindicated?
I feel like justice will serve.
Right, there's gonna be some accountability coming.
White supremacist trials.
You've got Rittenhouse, hate, disrespect, and intolerance.
Point of fact, the only bigot on the scene appears to have been Joseph Rosenbaum, the child rapist.
And yet it's Kyle Rittenhouse who Joe Biden accused of being a white supremacist on the basis of no evidence whatsoever.
And let's hope at some point he can sue for that.
Who will be held accountable?
You are the enemy of the people.
So I'm thinking the accountability project is
suing them for everything they've got.
And that's great because, man, did they make his life miserable for a long time?
And they do this to people all the time.
Yep.
You know, they destroyed it.
They did it to Nick Sandman.
Yeah.
And he sued for $250 million.
And they wound up settling.
And I don't know if we ever got the monetary figure there.
It's a large amount, though.
Yeah, you know it was.
By all reports.
Yes.
It is.
But it should be a large amount.
Yeah, it's ruined these kids' lives.
Yeah.
And they do it to people all the time.
They do it to people all the time.
And there is a line, too.
I mean, you know, look, they say BS about us all the time, too.
That's something that kind of goes along with the job, although it's really frustrating at times.
I mean, you see what happens to Glenn, and he gets it much worse than we do.
Yeah.
But, you know, they say fake things about him all the time.
The New York Times led a story about January 6th as if Glenn Beck was the main guy pushing for it when he specifically and they knew this going in they had the information going in that on January 5th he told people on the air not to go because it was going to be dangerous he told people not to go to the rally they led
a New York Times story with him as like the main culprit behind January 6th that's unreal and we're used to it it's part of our gig at some level I don't think that's fair but it is it's reality but when they take people who are not public figures at all yeah and rake them through the coals for no reason for no reason at all they're they deserve to be held accountable It happened with sandman I bet it's gonna happen with written house as well.
Yep
This is the Glenn Back program
Let me tell you about Grip 6.
Grip 6 has great belts, They've got great wallets.
They've got great socks.
And they're a great company located here in America.
I think they're based in Utah.
They do all of
other sourcing from America.
And I think you hear this a lot where, well, we can't possibly come up with high-quality items that are a reasonable cost
because you can't do that in America.
You got to outsource everything.
And it's like, well, no, you don't.
You know, you can do it.
It's hard.
It's harder.
But that's why Grip6 exists.
They are trying to do the the hard thing here.
They love this country.
They are people who really support the values of this country, and they make great products.
You don't have to sacrifice just because you might like the company.
You get the best of both worlds here.
Their wallets are really cool.
If you've ever seen the Seinfeld episode with George Costanza, where he's like sitting sideways because his wallet is so big in his back pocket, this is not like this.

This is the Glenn Back program.
Pat and Stew for Glenn this week.
We were talking a few minutes ago about the possibility of Gavin Newsom stepping into the void for the Democrats.
We know they don't want Joe Biden.
We know they don't want Kamala Harris to run in 2024.
So who is it?
I think there's a pretty good chance it's
Gavin Newsom.
And we'll show you some evidence of that coming up in about 60 seconds.
There's a big story in the Wall Street Journal today.
Red states are winning the post-pandemic economy.
Huh?
Who would have seen this coming?
Workers and employers moved away from the coast to middle of the country and Florida, sparking swifter recoveries there.
That's not exactly a surprise, I think, to most people who went through the COVID era.
In fact, so many people moved from California, from Illinois, from New York to places like Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Arizona.
And it's a fascinating change, but one I think you'd have to expect if you went through life over the past couple of years.
If you happen to be one of those people and you're leaving a blue state and going to a red state, first of all, we welcome you.

So Gavin Newsom seems to be
making some noise about
potentially running for governor.
There's a little battle between him and Ron DeSantis going on.
There's some back and forth there.
Obviously, a lot of people think Ron DeSantis is going to run for president.
A lot of people beginning to think Gavin Newsom is going to run for president.
Otherwise, why does the governor of California run an ad
in florida on the fourth of july
uh if you haven't heard very weird yeah really weird uh if you haven't heard that ad here here it is it's independence day so let's talk about what's going on in america freedom is under attack in your state your republican leaders they're banning books making it harder to vote restricting speech in classrooms even criminalizing women and doctors criminalizing all of you living in florida so join the fight or join us in california where we still believe in freedom
of speech
freedom to choose
from hate and freedom to love don't let them
paid for by newsom for california governor 2022 that's incredible why would why why would you pay for newsom for governor why would that campaign
Newsome for California governor pay for a a Florida ad on the 4th of July
for exactly what is happening right now we are talking about it He's trying to elevate his profile to become the presidential option if the Biden thing goes more awry than it is already, if that's possible.
And he's trying to position himself.
And so he's trying to get people to talk about him.
He knows he's got this race won, obviously, in California.
There's no need for him to spend $1 on anything in this race.
He's already, you know, the race he had to win was the recall.
Now that he's won that, you know, it's going to be very easy for him to win in California.
And he is riding high on his, you know, he didn't get recalled, which is, it's like, just, it's just like Boris Johnson celebrating the, the win in the no confidence vote.
Like, that's not a, it's not something to celebrate.
You shouldn't have been in the no confidence vote in the first place in the first place.
Good job.
You don't get the no-confidence vote in the first place, but that's what happened.
He survived it barely.
I mean, you know, just a month or so before, the polls were saying it was basically a toss-up whether he was going to remain in office.
He wound up winning by, you know, 8% of people people changing their mind.
I think he won by 16 points total.
There's only two choices.
It was 58-42.
If 8% of their people changed their mind in a Democratic state, it was lower than the amount he got elected with.
This is not a win.
But he's an egomaniac and he wants to be that next option.
And he has a very high opinion of himself.
Everything he said in that ad is a lie.
Everything is a lie.
Freedom's under attack in Florida?
No.
No, it's not.
No, No, it is.
The exact opposite.
The exact opposite.
You can argue if you're on the left-wing position, the argument to make against DeSantis is he's giving you too much freedom, right?
That was the COVID argument against DeSantis.
He was allowing you to live your life too often.
Republican leaders are banning books.
No, they're not.
That's obviously a reference to the sexual discussions with kindergartners through third graders.
I don't know that there were books banned involved in that.
I don't know what books were going to be presented to the kids that showed sexual activity of anybody.
But we've seen some of these hardcore woke books that have been banned from certain classrooms.
No books have been banned, but like we all, I don't know if anyone knows this, we ban books all the time.
Playboy is not allowed in kindergarten classrooms.
Banning magazines, banning books.
Classrooms is so asinine.
They're making it harder to vote.
Are they?
No, they're not.
Are they because you have to show an ID at the voting booth?
Something about 85% of all Americans agree with.
80% of minorities agree with.
Why do they agree with it?
Because they have IDs.
They don't have a hard time getting our
harder a time getting an ID than a white person does.
Because Gavin Newsom's opinion, his very low opinion of the mental capacity of African Americans and other minorities is not accurate.
That's the problem.
Yeah, guess what?
They can figure out how to get a driver's license.
It's not that hard.
Capable human beings, just like you.
I don't know if he is, but just like, just like, what was the quote from Joe Biden?
You know, black kids are just as talented as,
or poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
That's the way Joe Biden told that story, and that's the way they think.
Criminalizing women.
So wait, we're three for three on lies, right?
Three claims, three lies.
What's the next one?
Criminalizing women.
They're criminalizing women in Florida, women and doctors.
No.
When women commit crimes, they are criminals.
Yes.
That's what women are criminalized in every state of the union by this idiotic definition.
I guess he's trying to say they're going to make a difference.
Because of abortions.
They're not even doing that.
Nobody's targeting women.
with
criminal proceedings if they have an abortion.
And there's no pending abortion ban in Florida.
There's a 15-week restriction in Florida.
That's as far as they've gone, which is, by the way, not even in effect because the activists are trying to challenge it in court.
But even if it were to pass, it would still be 15-week ban, something that they just polled, by the way, and 72% of Americans agreed with.
They just polled a 15-week ban, and 72% of Americans agreed with that.
That's really something because the prevailing theory is that
Americans love abortion.
They
support it wholeheartedly.
Well, I guess if
unless you explain it to them, then
you get a different response, like this latest poll.
But people thought that
people believe that if your life is in danger, you should be able to get an abortion.
If you've been raped or it's a case of incest, then most people, I think, feel there should be an exception there.
Yeah.
But abortions up to and including birth, I mean, Democrats are so far out in left field on that.
There is no way Americans support that.
Yeah, that's what I keep coming back to on
the abortion debate generally.
Who's closer to the mainstream?
Now, I am not close to the mainstream on abortion.
I am your very, very humble and lovable, non-violent pro-life extremist.
I am not blowing up any clinics, but I really don't think abortion should be a thing.
I don't think ending human life is a good idea, particularly when it's innocent.
When you have innocent human life, I think you should try to protect it as many ways as you can.
So I am not, I do not agree with the mainstream average opinion of
the American people on this particular issue, but neither do the Democratic Party.
And if you say what is the official sort of position of Republicans and Democrats, up until the, there has always been an overturn of Roe versus Wait, but that does not mean abortion goes away.
The average Republican position pushed nationwide all over the place was a 20-week ban for years and years and years and years, a 20-week ban.
They just pulled a 15-week ban, a more restrictive ban, and
that was popular with 72% of Americans.
We know that third trimester abortion, which
is not even far enough to the left to describe the mainstream Democratic position because You're talking about abortions that might happen at eight months.
That's not what the left is saying.
They're saying at any time during the pregnancy.
That is what the Democratic position is, and they will basically not move off of that point.
Most of them, if you challenge them, will say
because of good vilified by Nehru.
Honestly, Pete Buttigieg at one point said, I think only second trimester abortions should be allowed.
And he was like, you know, he was, you know, criticized widely for that comment in the Democratic primary.
So, but that position, just third trimester abortion, is favored by 14% of Americans.
So the kind of mainstream Republican position is favored by 72%
of Americans, and the mainstream Democratic position is favored by 14% of Americans.
Now, it is true that there are people that go farther than the mainstream Republican position, such as myself.
There are states that will ban it completely with the exceptions that you've mentioned in most cases.
But the overwhelming majority.
Do you not make the exception for a woman's life endangerment?
And it's rare.
I think that is a there is a moral case to be made for that.
Lila Rose talks pretty convincingly about this, which is number one,
there is basically no case where this occurs.
There is essentially no case where the woman's life is in danger in that way.
But that can, you know, I'm not a doctor.
I have heard doctors say
that.
It does happen.
Yeah.
And it can happen.
But it's not common like it was in the 1800s.
Extraordinarily rare.
Yes.
You know, she talks pretty convincingly about the idea of, you know, sometimes there are situations that are extreme and
you have to consider them.
But she made the point to me at one point in one of the interviews we talked about on Studos America, where she described, you know, like basically like you go through this place where the child is born and you might say, well, there's no chance of that child living at that age.
You just do what you can.
Like you do what you can to try to to make it work and you know what probably won't
but you do everything you can to fight for life in those situations you don't certainly don't kill the mother i think we all recognize that's not the appropriate way to go or allow the mother to die if you have to that's what i mean you have to deliver the baby early where there's no hope you do you do that you do the c-section you do what you have to do and you fight for the life of the baby even if even if it's hopeless yeah you know you still try when someone you know when someone's in you know a situation where their life is uh they have some disease and it's hopeless and the doctor says there's no chance of survival.
You do what you can anyway.
You try.
I think this stat I saw recently was 0.001%.
So one one-thousandth of a percent of abortions are because a woman's life is in danger.
So it almost never happens anymore.
Yeah.
Almost never.
And there are occurrences where it does happen.
There are cases of certain types of pregnancies that
And this is one of the things the left is trying to use scare tactics on, is to try to push this idea that certain types of pregnancies that are, you know, in the middle of failure,
types of pregnancies that are, you know, affecting the mother in terrible ways, you just kind of deal with.
And I don't know of any person on the pro-life side that considers that abortion.
So, I mean, I think there are some, there's some medical procedures that happen early on that, you know, that the left is trying to, you know, lump in with this to scare women, but I don't know of any pro-life person who actually considers those procedures to be abortions.
So, I mean, I think there's, you know, look, you can walk around the fringes of this as much as you want.
And we've talked about all the exceptions at length.
And we're not, we're the ones that are fine doing that.
I don't mind making the argument for life.
I think erring on the side of life is always a good concept.
But the left won't talk about their outlying situations.
You know, why doesn't the every Republican that's ever said they're pro-life has been asked about rape and incest exceptions on abortion, every single one of them.
How many Democratic politicians have been forced to answer a question about what happens at nine months and, you know, right before birth?
Right.
Or during birth.
During birth.
And partial birth.
You kill the baby as it's coming down the birth canal.
That literally happens.
Yeah.
I mean, collapsing their skull and
sucking out the body parts.
And it's horrific.
Which is absolutely horrific.
I mean, to try to find one moment in the pregnancy in which the left will not kill, give you the opportunity to kill a child is almost impossible.
And we actually tried this back when George Bush was president, and we came up with this idea of, you know, hey, let's call him out on partial birth abortion.
Let's just see if we can get him to come that far, where the baby is partially born, half out of the woman at that point.
Why on earth?
Would you need to kill the child?
Have the baby come, you're going to have to birth it.
You're going to have to take it out of there anyway.
Right.
Why not have it come out and then give it up for adoption?
Why would you kill it at that point?
He said, how about this?
Just that.
Let me give you the lowest hurdle to possibly clear partial birth abortion.
And it was so offensive to the American people that the Democrats, some of them, let it go through.
And you know what they did after that?
They started doing it at the same time in the pregnancy.
before they partially birthed the baby.
They just continued to do it.
They just kept the baby entirely in the womb and did did it then.
Wow.
The same time.
Now, obviously, the concept here was don't kill the baby a second before it's born.
Right.
And they said, well, we'll do it 10 seconds before they're born.
You know, they just found a way to get around it.
So that rule that was passed under George W.
Bush really didn't do much because they just started doing it.
They just changed the procedure slightly to fit the technical definition of partial birth abortion.
Which is why I call them a death cult, because
that's what they are.
They're ghouls who are part of a death cult.
AAAAAAA 727, B-E-C-K.
Ever since he tried the rough greens for the first time, my dog, Uno, has changed.
He's a completely different dog.
I hear from people all the time in the audience.
I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog.
They've heard me talk about rough greens on the show.
They get some from themselves.
And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down, and it's really good for him.
It's not a dog food, it's just chock full of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, and omega oils that you sprinkle.
Your dog needs these things to be healthy.
My dog was easy from the first time he tried rough greens.
Uno was in love.
Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.
Dr.
Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.
He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
So, right now, he's got a special gift available.
You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.
All you pay is shipping.
Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

This is our 500th episode anniversary power hour.
Sort of an excuse to drink at work, but it's going to be a great panel.
Chad Prayther, Sarah Gonzalez, Andrew Heaton, my wife, Lisa Page, will be there as well.
Alex Stein will be there.
It's going to be a lot of fun as we make idiots of ourselves and attempt to talk politics while doing a power hour, which you may remember from your college days.
It's idiotic, but
a lot of fun.

Yeah, because
it's really good.
And you like the coconut cream one, too, right?
That coconut cream thing is so good.
Redible.
You still have that?
Uh-huh.
Oh, that one, I don't know.
I guess a lot of people like,
I will never say you shouldn't get like the chocolate chip.
It's a fantastic hexie cookie, but a lot of people like those classy cookies.
I sometimes like the different flavors.
Yeah.
And that coconut cream thing, man.
Oh, that thing is delicious.
It's surprising when we do these off kind of cookies.
Yeah.
The off flavors.
Sometimes they're really popular and really, really good.
Kexi.com.
K-E-K-S-I.com.
Glenn thinks nobody can spell it.
I disagree.
I mean,
this is like Democratic politicians saying that black people can't get ID.
He just thinks the audience is so dumb they can't just remember K-E-K-S-I.com.
It's not that hard, really.
It's really not.
No.
No.
I have a lot of confidence in this audience.
I think they can figure it out.
I do too.
We're also figuring out that Gavin Newsom is a lion sack because everything he said on that ad that he did in Florida was a lie.
And I love the part where he gets to join us in California where we still believe in freedom.
Oh, wait, what?
What?
Okay, the freedom.
to pay the highest taxes in the in the nation, the freedom to pay the highest gas prices in the nation, the highest home prices in it.
I can pay like three times what it would cost me for a home in Texas.
I can pay three times that in California, or five times that in California.
And you do have the freedom to eliminate babies, though.
They do grant you that freedom.
Yeah.
And it's,
I mean, it's a pretty open-ended freedom.
You can pretty much do it anytime you want for any reason you want.
But so far in this ad work, he's four for four.
Yes, he is.
On the lie scale, he's every single claim he's made in this ad so far has been a lie.
But what about the freedom from hate?
Is that a lie?
So there's no hate in the state of California.
In the state.
That's weird.
We've seen mass shootings happen there.
Those people that were loving mass shootings.
What were those?
I guess
empathetic mass shootings.
Also, there's a pretty high crime rate
in California.
In Los Angeles, in San Francisco.
A lot of murders go on there.
A lot of murders.
No crime in San Francisco.
Wow.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting.

These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything, especially when you're online.
But with all that information just floating out there, it can make the internet a practical gold mine for identity thieves.
Actually, that's not fair to gold miners.

So
the
campaign between
Herschel Walker and
Warlock.
I forget his first name, the Warlock guy.
Raphael.
Yes, Raphael Warlock.
Warnock, I believe, is his actual name.
Yes, but I always refer to him as Warlock.
But he is a nightmare.
An absolute nightmare.
Oh, yeah.
He's terrifying.
Now I can't remember which one is which.
Warnock.
Warnock.
Warlock.
He's a nightmare.
He's a nightmare.
But agree.
Are there some issues with
Herschel?
He's coming after Herschel Walker.
We've had Herschel on the show before.
I like him.
He seemed like a really nice guy.
Obviously, played for the Philadelphia Eagles, which makes him a great guy.
But the.
That's not really really where he's remembered.
That's how I remember the Philadelphia Eagles.
Now, maybe the Georgia Bulldogs might remember him a little bit from that particular era.
I'm thinking
more closely related with maybe the Metroplex where we are.
I mean, he was on the Vikings.
Is that what we're talking about?
No, I'm not talking about
the Dallas Cowboys.
You know, there was.
Pat, I want the guy to win the election.
That's true.
Don't tarnish him.
Don't let everyone know that he had a dark period where he played for the Dallas Cowboys.
Jeez.
But
the Daily Beast has some information that they claim.
Who knows?
I mean, look, they've been coming.
You knew, and we talked to him about it when he was here.
They are going to come after him hardcore and look through every little bit of his history.
And he's been...
you know, very open about several parts of his history that were really challenging.
I mean, he had some really dark days, and he's talked about them extensively.
And they're coming after him about, you know,
things that they certainly would never come after a Democrat for.
No, they would not.
Children from other relationships and such.
They obviously would never care about such a thing when it comes to Democrats, but they apparently care here.
And
it's going to be an interesting race.
I did my first Senate breakdown maybe a month ago of the upcoming race, and we don't even know.
We didn't even know who all the candidates were at that point.
There's still primaries going on and such at the time.
But the way I looked at it was
about
there's about five toss-up races in this country, five or six.
And the Republicans would need to win
three of those five
to be or three of the six to be seen.
And is one of them to Georgia race?
Georgia was one of them.
And Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is another.
That's the draws.
Yeah.
Off the top, I don't have it in front of me, but it was three out of the six races they needed to win that were the toss-up races, like really fundamentally toss-up races
to get the 50 senators they need.
And you might say, well, they can't pass anything with 50 senators, and that's true, but they can block a lot.
I do expect the Republicans to win the House, so they can block the bills that way
if they wish.
But Supreme Court justices, you might note, go through the Senate.
So getting 50
is vital,
vital when it comes to this Senate.
You can't be better than one of these races because you can't do it.
They still have the vice president vote for the next two years.
Control, though, does do a lot and it does help.
So if you want to get to 51, clearly.
But, you know, control having
Republican leadership is important as well.
But you're right.
You need to get to 51.
And that's not easy.
So you got to, like, you just can't blow easy races.
Now, Georgia is not a bright red state as it once was.
You have to say it's a purple state.
Obviously, it went to Biden
in 2020.
But you know, it's been trending blue for a while and it's turned into really a purple state.
That being said, in this environment, this should be an easily winnable race for any, you know, replacement level Republican.
You know, it really should not be a difficult.
It might even be more difficult if it was Osoff, but it's Waranok.
I mean, the guy is obviously an extremist.
You know,
he really is.
He's not a borderline
moderate Democrat.
No.
He is extremely, extremely leftist and comes off that way to a lot of people.
So this is a race that would be very easy to win.
You're going to see Kemp cruise over, I think, Abrams, for example.
And this is obviously Kemp is a guy that a lot of Republicans were angry at after
the election last time.
So this should be a very winnable race.
Look, it's a difficult thing to do if you're Herschel Walker.
He's never run for anything before.
He's beloved.
He's beloved.
He's very famous.
So that's in his favor.
In his favor.
But he's also under, you know,
there's a certain amount of scrutiny that happens to you as a famous athlete.
And then when you have the Democratic Party coming up against you, it's a totally different level of scrutiny.
And they're going after him.
The same thing is going to happen to Dr.
Oz.
Dr.
Oz won a squeaker of a primary, very, very close election.
He has now gone into
the general in a purple state, a state that obviously Joe Biden won in 2020.
And you have this situation where that's gone back and forth to red and blue, but it's been really more blue.
I mean, I remember when Donald Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016.
I'm remembering that right, right?
And I remember thinking that was one I just never thought was going to happen.
I mean, I was legitimately surprised by 2016 performance by Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
It was really the first time
that a president
felt that it was even possible in a presidential election.
There have been Republicans that have won statewide, Senate and such, but it didn't seem possible in the presidential election.
Trump was able to do it in 2016.
But it's a purple state at best.
So it's not easy for Dr.
Oz to win that race in a normal circumstance.
But in this circumstance, in a red wave type of year, a red wave type of environment, it should be a winnable race for a Republican.
Is Dr.
Oz going going to be able to pull that off?
Again, he's very media savvy.
We know that.
But we don't know much about him as a candidate and how he's going to survive this.
His opponent just had a stroke.
Yeah, and this does.
So that could be an advantage for him because he's in great shape.
And, Pat, there's some weird stuff going on with that.
We should know, we should talk about this for a second because this is the Fetterman race.
The guy had a stroke right before the primary.
Yeah.
And is
not doing anything on the campaign trail.
He's just like back to like living at home and living his life.
Like their defense of what's going on right now is, ah, he's just, you know, taking some time and hanging out, you know, living life, recovering, you know, just going to the movies, going out to dinner.
No big deal.
Wait, he's in the middle of a giant Senate race.
What are you talking about?
He's just going out to dinner.
Well, what is that?
And that's really what their excuse is.
Now, I guess they're saying he needs time to recover, and they're trying to widen this window as long as possible before people start asking really honest questions about whether this guy's able to do this job anymore.
I mean,
you have to be at the point now where you're starting to seriously consider that there's been
serious health effects that have happened from the stroke, and they're just trying to hide it.
Obviously, we know Democrats have done that before.
See Woodrow Wilson.
So I don't know.
I mean, maybe that's,
look, we hope for the best here.
We hope the guy is doing okay and just needs some more time.
I don't want him to win the race.
I don't want him to get this job for multiple reasons that are completely non-stroke related.
But, you know, obviously we hope his health is okay.
But that's another race that's going to be close.
There's a bunch of those toss-up type races that Republicans have a real chance to win.
But if they blow one or two of them, they probably will lose the Senate.
That's how difficult this is.
This is not, it feels like Biden has been so bad.
He's got a 36% approval rating.
8% of the country thinks we're going in the right direction right now.
It seems obvious that a wave election election is here, but the Senate structure pushes back against that.
This is a good Democratic year for the structure of the Senate.
2024 is the opposite.
It'll be a good year for the Republicans.
They'll be in a position to pick up seats in 2024, but 2022 is not that way.
And
because of the wave election, they do have a real chance and should be probably considered the favorites.
to win the Senate, but they absolutely could blow this.
It is not a home run.
It's not easy cruising.
And they often do.
They often do.
There's been a lot of, you know, people bring up the 2010 election, which was a huge wave election for Republicans, but there were multiple winnable seats that they wound up losing.
Most painfully, to my heart and soul, Harry Reid,
who could have been gone and unfortunately stayed in office for longer.
Colorado,
Delaware.
There's a bunch of states that you can look back at and say, ah, gosh, those are really winnable races.
And some of them were very close, but Republicans didn't wind up winning them.
You can't have those moments here.
You can't blow these states.
You got to figure out a way to win.
A lot of times we talk about getting the best possible candidate.
You always want the best possible candidate for your side to be loyal to conservative values.
But as we go into this general, I know the next two years are going to be years where a Democrat is the president of the United States.
And we're not going to get everything that we want.
All we can do is hope to stop the damage.
And the best way that we can stop the damage here, the best hope that we have, is even some of these Republicans that aren't so great somehow winning.
Even if they're shaky, even if they're not lining up with every conservative principle, you can't choke these races.
You can't.
It's way too important.
We just look at what just happened in the Supreme Court.
You cannot risk.
You can't blow these races.
You can't choke.
Somehow, Republicans have to figure out how not to choke one time.
And the reason it's so important is because they're going to try to pack the Supreme Court.
Yeah.
They're going to try to add four Supreme Court justices.
And if they have control of the Senate, they're going to be able to do it.
Joe Biden has already said this supposed modern president has already come out in favor two times to overturn the filibuster.
A guy that was in the Senate for over 30 years
wants to overturn that president.
He's already advocated for it twice on abortion.
And was it guns?
Was the other one?
No, voting rights was the other one.
He's already advocated for it twice.
If they get to 52 senators, they will do it.
They will do it.
Absolutely.
They will.
Absolutely.
So that's why it's so incredibly critical.
And that's why it's so important that, you know, some of those drop boxes that may have been abused,
I think they've cut back on those in Georgia because they had, what was it, 80 or so during the pandemic.
And you don't need that.
You don't need the drop boxes this time.
Let's just have regular normal voting places.
What are we talking about?
What's so ridiculous?
You do not need a drop box
for your vote.
No, you don't.
Everything should be attended.
And of course that can be abused.
Of course it can.
I don't know.
Like, you know, like a lot of people are bringing up lots of stuff on this.
I don't care if you have literally no evidence they're they're being abused at all.
Literally none.
It's obviously a dumb idea.
Yes.
You don't.
Right.
This is too important.
You don't just have people dropping things off with no attendees.
There has to be some sort of process it goes through.
And yet they scream bloody murder.
If you suggest, hey, how about we go without the Dropbox this time?
Let's just go to the voting booth.
Just go to your voting place like we always used to do.
Voting is not internet porn.
You don't get 24-7 access to it.
No, you do.
You show up when people are there.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
A coffee shop in Philadelphia, known for its LGBTQ brand identity, just closed its doors after its employees revolted against the owners and demanded that they redistribute the company to the employees.
It's one of those, give them an inch and they'll take 10 miles.
Mina's World, which is located in the neighborhood of West Philadelphia, was characterized by Bonapetite as a business that doubled as a hangout spot for people of marginalized identities.
Well, Sonam Parik, who ran the company alongside her partner and co-owner, Kate Egert,
told the outlet that Mina's World was the city's first coffee shop owned and operated by queer trans people of color or the QTPOC.
Cool.
Wait, Q, wait, QTPOC.
Is that different than LGBTQQIA2 Plus?
A little bit.
Okay.
A little bit different.
But the pair had named the company after their cat, which is adorable.
I mean, who doesn't love that?
They blasted other coffee shops for neglecting to protect their black and trans employees and allow customers to enjoy coffee in a space that was not whitewashed.
Thank gosh.
You think finally, right?
Finally.
I will say this, Pat, and I don't know if this is controversial or not, but I hate white people.
Thank you.
They are just terrible.
Have you noticed this?
I have.
They're all terrible.
Especially straight white people.
Ah!
The worst, right?
And males?
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's patriarchy.
Male, straight, white people.
I don't want to hear it.
The worst.
I don't want to hear it.
So an Instagram page called Mina's World Workers began posting accusations against the ownership last month, claiming that they had subjected their workers to manipulation, abuse of power, exploitation, anti-blackness, ableism,
and other charges summarized in a list of grievances.
The employees demanded immediate payment and told the owners to redistribute the business.
Redistribute the business.
They just have these collections.
They have like six words they use and they just apply them to everything.
Yes.
I will say, Pat, it's a lesson that many will need to learn.
And it will be hard.
These will be hard lessons to learn.
You are never woke enough.
There's never a point where you win this battle.
You're never going to be woke enough.
Eventually, they will come for you, and we will sit here with glee
watching it occur.
We're trans people of color owners.
Yeah, right.
QTPOC.
In the house.
It doesn't matter.
Still not woke enough.
Sorry.
