Best of the Program | 6/29/22

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

Welcome to the podcast.

Today, we go into the January 6th hearings where we learn all sorts of really, really terrible things about the president and all the bad things he did.

And then we go through it and show you that not really what the media is saying that they are.

We talk about more of the fallout on Roe vs.

Wade.

And near the end of the show, we have a really, we have a tragic event.

Jeffy joins us.

Oh, I thought you said it was a tragic event.

Yeah, that's the event.

I stopped in and

boosted the heck out of the show.

Those are the words I use.

What a tragic event.

But, you know, Joe Biden in 2006 said every abortion is a tragedy, and every segment with Jeffy, also a tragedy.

Remember that.

Make sure to subscribe to this podcast, of course, if you're not already, and rate and review a couple of others to get you through the weekend here.

Jeff Fisher has a podcast called Chewing the Fat, which is an unfortunate title.

I don't

know why people didn't see it.

It almost leads you to believe that he might be the fat you're talking about.

Right.

But no, it's just an expression.

It's the title of the show.

It's just an expression.

That's all.

That's all it is.

Yeah.

Pat Gray Unleashed is also available wherever you get your podcasts.

Rate and review there as well.

And subscribe to Studos America as well.

Available five days a week, which is, I think, we've had a lot going on over the past couple weeks, and we've covered all the important things.

And then also, Jeffy had a podcast.

So make sure you check all that out.

And don't forget to go to studosmerch.com for the new t-shirt, 624-22.

Remember the day that Roe vs.

versus Wade was overturned without having fetuses all over your shirt.

It's an important distinction.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the blend program.

Well,

Cassidy Hutchinson has finally blown this thing completely open.

We were looking for the smoking gun in the January 6th situation that links Trump to all the madness.

Well, we have it now.

We have it.

Did you see her testimony yesterday?

I did see a bunch of the testimony, yes.

Powerful.

Now, she

was the chief of staff for Mark Meadows.

Yes.

Who is the chief of staff for Donald Trump?

Right.

So what does that make?

I don't know how that works.

Do you multiply them, chief of staff times chief of staff to find out what it is?

It is

the one thing you'd say about her, and I guess this is why they made such a big deal about the testimony yesterday, is that she's not an anti-Trump person.

She was there throughout.

She,

you know, to the end was still chief of staff for Mark Meadows, right?

And Mark Meadows was the chief of staff for the president of the United States.

So this is not someone like, you know, it's not like, I don't know who's the right example, but there's, you know, there's been so many players in this at this point, point.

But not someone who was highly skeptical of Trump the whole time and is now saying bad things about them now that they don't have a job anymore.

She was there the whole time and was working closely with the president, had access to a lot of the internal conversation.

So I guess that's why she was a big deal yesterday.

Yeah.

Here's what she had to say about Donald Trump being pissed off that they weren't taking him back.

He wanted to go to the Capitol building.

I want to go to the Capitol building, be with my people.

Here's what she said.

Related to him, we're not.

We don't have

to which Bobby responded, sir, we have to go back to the West Wing.

The President reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel.

Mr.

Engel grabbed his arm, said, Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel.

We're going back to the West Wing.

We're not going to the Capitol.

Mr.

Trump then used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby Engel.

And when Mr.

Renato had recounted this story to me, he had motioned towards his clavicles.

Yeah, his clavicles.

He almost grabbed his clavicles.

He's going to break his collarbones.

Now, that's what Trump was going to do.

He's apparently very proficient at breaking people's collarbones.

He can do that with, he just snaps them in half with his hand.

And it's important to know because, you know, look, our education system is not what it once was.

The Constitution explicitly bans the president from touching clavicles.

Yeah.

That is part, that's in the clavicle.

Trump clavicle.

He completely ignored it.

Yeah.

The clavicle cause.

Uh-huh.

Clavicle clause.

Yeah.

It's hard to say.

But that does exist.

If you're Tom Broca, you can't say it.

It's a clavicle.

It's a clavicle clause.

Yeah, so

the idea that, okay,

the speech is over.

President Trump wants to go to the Capitol.

They're driving him back to the White House.

And look, it's a long walk.

He's not going to make that walk.

So he wants to be in the car.

Yeah.

And

you say no.

They say no.

The Secret Service says no.

No.

So keep in mind, he's in the beast, the presidential limousine.

Yeah.

He's in the the back of the limousine.

He doesn't ever ride shotgun that I know of.

Even when he calls it, he still doesn't get to do it.

Well, if he calls it first.

No, they still don't let him do it.

Wow.

So he's in the back.

I guess he jumps through the partition, grabs the steering wheel with his right hand, and with his left, he's got the clavicles of the Secret Service agent who's driving in his hand.

And he's about to snap his collarbones.

That's frightening.

It was one of the first things I thought of.

It didn't seem just in that vehicle that that would be possible.

It doesn't seem possible.

That's the thing.

Yeah.

And,

you know, the Secret Service has already volunteered to testify

on, you know,

under oath that that did not happen.

Right.

So that's the biggest part of this, right?

Yeah.

It did not happen.

If this was the biggest story in the world from her,

you would want to find out from the Secret Service agent if it was true or not.

Right.

And, you know, Secret Service agents.

Before you started reporting it as if it's gospel truth.

Right.

Okay, well, this person heard it from some other person.

It's absolutely true.

Right.

And so you'd want to get that confirmation.

Now, Secret Service agents are not necessarily known for volunteering information.

The fact that they immediately came out and said, wait a minute, this didn't happen, is incredible.

Without hesitation.

It dissolves the entire story immediately, right?

That's how bad, Like literally the whole story falls apart within an hour.

Now, that doesn't mean that she lied because if you, I think the most important part of what you just heard was that she said,

Tony said,

as he recounted, it is.

She's told you it is secondhand information.

Yeah, it's not like she's riding shotgun in the limo.

Right.

And sees this occur.

She's not there.

No, she didn't see this.

She didn't witness it.

She's saying she talked to the Secret Service agent who then told the story.

Now, it's not impossible that something happened, some sort of, you know, he maybe, I would totally believe that Donald Trump yelled at the Secret Service agent in that moment.

Maybe he was very emotional in that moment.

Very possible.

And maybe he inflated the story to her.

I mean, it's not that's not a crazy telling of this.

Yeah.

But the bottom line is you follow up with the people involved.

And the Secret Service agent, if he really had his clavicle attacked here, Pat, would probably be very willing to tell the story if asked.

And he immediately came out instead and said the exact opposite, that it was not true.

So that part, which is the biggest headline from the January 6th hearings in a surprise moment with a bombshell.

Unknown witness, bombshell.

Every media headline you will read will tell you it was a bombshell.

And that has already been opposed by the person who who supposedly told the story.

Already debunked.

And not a political figure.

Like if he was a, let's say it was Mark Meadows saying this, you might say, well, Meadows is covering for Trump.

The Secret Service is not doing that.

That's not what they do.

That's not their job.

Their job is not to cover for the president in testimony.

You almost never hear of Secret Service agents, even after they've long retired, saying anything about their service with the president.

Right.

They almost never do that.

No.

You don't hear about it at all afterward.

I mean, we've talked to Secret Service agents who are friendlier to our cause than the cause on the left.

We've talked to several of them over the years.

People who worked for President Obama, for example.

Dan Bongino, for instance.

Dan Bongino's talked about it publicly.

He's talked about it.

Even he doesn't relate specifics.

No, he's very limited on what he would tell you.

And we talked to others who won't say one word on the air about what they witnessed in the White House because they see it as part part of their job to never talk about those things.

And I think, you know, watching this, I think we had a different perspective, Pat, than a lot of America in that

we've dealt with high-level security people

because Glenn always has them around.

I mean, you know, Glenn has had all sorts of threats on his life over the years.

And so

we talk to these guys.

We know these guys.

We talk to them.

off camera, off the air, and they still won't tell.

People we've known for years will not give us names of celebrities they've protected because they guard that so closely.

They don't even say who they've guarded,

let alone tell you specific stories about guarding them.

Right.

Yeah.

Because that's, you know, they see that as like their oath.

Yeah.

And it's certainly the Secret Service agencies that it's probably even a higher level and that it's, you know, it's, it really is an oath, not just a job responsibility.

So

seeing that, and then I thought another part of this, Pat, was interesting from maybe our perspective more than

a person who is in a normal job, not working with a person that has 15 active threats against him all the time.

The actions of Donald Trump, if true,

not the clavicle part, because we know the clavicle clause, of course,

bars that behavior.

But I'm saying like the behavior of, I want to go with my people into a dangerous situation that my security people are saying no.

I totally believe that's true.

I totally believe Donald Trump wanted to go down and be with his people at the capital.

It would not surprise me at all.

It would not surprise me at all because we've seen Glenn try to do the same crap a hundred times.

And like, it is really frustrating for the security people because they're like, we can't secure you there.

It's not that you don't trust the people who are in the crowd, but all it takes is one.

You know, all it takes is one Hinkley to be in a crowd, and we've got a national tragedy on our hands.

Yeah.

And you don't know if

even if 95% of those people are perfectly fine, there could always be a psychotic person in there doing something crazy.

So the Secret Service and any good security team is going to say, dude, no, you can't go down there.

I can't bring you down there.

We are not ready for it.

We're not prepared for it.

We can't just, you can't just spring this on us right now.

We cannot bring you down there.

We need to bring you to the West Wing.

That is totally believable to me and probably true.

But the way the media is presenting that information is Donald Trump wanted to join the coup.

Donald Trump wanted to go down there.

He wanted to be there to overthrow the process.

Now,

so stupid.

Come on.

That is total spin.

He wanted to be with his people.

He wanted to show that he wasn't going to just go hide in the White House when he was asking them to go down there and walk down to the Capitol and not riot, but protest.

Totally believable.

The idea that he, that Donald Trump, who's, look, take all the other stuff out of it.

Donald Trump's a pretty coddled guy.

He's lived as a billionaire for how long?

Do you think he wants to be in the middle of a brawl inside the Capitol?

No.

Do you think he wants to be in the middle of a group of people putting flagpoles through windows of the Capitol?

Do you think he wants to be in the middle of the people?

Do you think he meant to be in the middle of a pepper spray incident?

The guy lives in a gold palace.

He does not want to be in the middle of that.

No.

If you thought he had the worst intentions, the way Donald Trump would handle that situation is being somewhere safe, directing it from a distance.

He does not want to be in the middle of that.

That's not who the guy is.

Yeah.

And even if, you know, even if the really ridiculous story of him grabbing the wheel and trying to, and trying to drive, forcibly drive the beast back to the Capitol building, even if it was true, what does that prove anyway?

It just proved he wanted to be there.

He wanted to go there.

He wanted to go there.

So what?

Now, it doesn't mean he was overthrowing the government.

The clavicle thing would be bothersome.

If he was actually putting his hands on a clavicle, it would.

I mean, look.

Especially thinking he's going to be able to do something over

and take a secret service agent.

That's not smart.

Trump's a big guy, but I don't think he's winning against a secret service agent.

You know, that's just not the profile of Donald Trump.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed.

I will.

Immediately preceding this one, live.

I can't do it now.

I said,

it's already passed for you.

Well, that's true.

But you could listen later on at your leisure.

Wait, on demand?

Yeah, on demand.

Whenever I want it to be,

whenever it's convenient for you, you can listen then via podcast.

That's incredible.

Anywhere you get your podcast.

Plus, I understand that you also have a show to listen to and watch.

I do.

If you should check it out.

It's called Stew Does America.

Huh.

And every day we do this country.

Okay.

And

it's fun.

We've had a lot of, it's been a fun show, and I know yours is as well.

I think there's a lot on the conservative side that can get boring and

frankly,

just

bore you to tears every day.

And so we try not to do that.

Yeah, we do too.

We try to make the apocalypse fun.

Yeah.

That's our goal, is to make the apocalypse that is happening right now make it fun.

Make it fun.

Yeah.

By the way,

on this note, we've been talking a lot about January 6th today.

And that's the day the left wants you to remember.

I would say that's the day democracy almost died.

Yeah, I've heard that.

Yeah.

That's really bad.

And they really want you to be talking about January 6th.

I'm going to go ahead and argue you should be talking about a different date.

We've got the new t-shirt up right now at studiosmerch.com 6, 24, 22.

The day Roe vs.

Wade was overturned.

I like that.

Go get it.

It's a great shirt.

And it's one of those shirts, too.

It's a way to show you're pro-life, and you don't have to have like a fetus on your shirt, you know?

You know, like, you don't want to necessarily have like...

I don't want to wear a fetus.

As pro-life as I am, I'm not wearing a a fetus on my stomach.

Yeah, I don't want like some graphic image of a fetus on my stomach as I'm walking around.

I already look bad enough.

So this one will help you look good and kind of give you a turn.

If that makes me a bad person, then so be it.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

All right.

Sorry about that.

So get it now.

StewDoesMerch.com.

It's the 62422 shirt.

They also have the mugs and the stickers and the hats and all that stuff.

And they're all son's fetus?

No fetuses.

No fetus.

I mean, maybe we should do a separate shirt that's just fetuses.

Like it's just constant fetuses on every part of the shirt.

I don't know.

Maybe that would sell even better, but I hope you do it.

I like it because, you know, look, I want to make clear what I believe, but I also

like the fact that people who know, who are on our side, are going to know that date.

And I want them to know that date.

The left is going to be saying, January 6th.

I want to be talking about that date.

That's the most important date we've seen in the last couple of years, I think.

Oh, yeah.

One of the most important important dates in our lifetime yeah there's already the first the first number i heard was they think even with all of the craziness going on with states opening up abortion access and you know you could still they still think it could prevent 100 000 abortions a year it's a great start it's a great freaking start there's 600 000 now and if it's only a hundred thousand what an incredible day right i mean what an incredible if it's only a hundred thousand what an improvement it's still way too many people are going to be aborted but you know what making even that amount of progress shows that we still have a long road to go, but also indicates how important this day was.

And when?

Really, when is enough enough?

The number in the United States alone is over 63, somewhere between 63 and 65 million babies that we've lost since 1973.

Isn't that enough?

I would say this.

It's one and a half billion worldwide.

That number kills me.

1.5 billion.

63 million here is really, really bad, and it always hits you in a rough way.

But, man, when you think about globally, over a billion, a billion.

And it's between 50 and 75 million every year.

50 and 75 million crushing every year.

So crushing.

And many, and many of the areas of the globe are going the opposite direction.

They're becoming more liberalized of these rules.

So

hopefully that switches.

And at least it's kind of switched here in part of the country anyway.

So check that out.

By the way, speaking of the Supreme Court, there were two.

This is a surprise to me, I will say.

I thought there was three or four decisions left.

There were four.

There were four.

Yeah.

And I expected we would get four because this is the last day they had announced.

And also, they had been doing about five per day for most of this

as they were releasing these.

Well, today they came out.

They gave the two boring ones.

No offense to you if you're involved in these cases.

But we got the two boring ones and didn't get the two big ones.

The two big ones we did not get is the EPA ruling, which I think is the biggest one as far as it affects your everyday life and how your government operates.

It's a huge, huge case.

And then the other one is the remain in Mexico

part of the immigration situation.

It's the Trump directive.

So neither of those came out today.

They did announce that they're going to come out tomorrow.

So that's your last decision day of the session.

Tomorrow, you will get those decisions alive on this program,

or at least during this time slot.

And the two that came out were a Native American issue about who can prosecute in a Native American area and a veterans affairs issue, both of them important in their own way, but not necessarily

top of the mind.

So we're not going to spend too much time on that today.

How did it turn out, though, on the Native American thing?

I mean,

it was a

5-4 decision.

I'd have to go back and look at it in more depth.

Usually when we go through this, we start with a zillion cases.

And at the beginning of the session, I have to go through all of them and kind of understand basic knowledge about all of them.

And they keep getting knocked off as you go through this release period.

And as they get towards the end, the ones that I never really locked in on and cared about all that much, I can't remember all the details on it.

The Native American one is kind of interesting because it involves sovereignty

and whether or not they're subject to the United States or are they subject just to the Indian Reservation?

Yeah, the concept being someone who is not a Native American going onto Native American lands, committing a crime against a Native American.

Yeah.

can the state government jump in and say they are the ones that are prosecuted?

I believe what the ruling was was no.

Only the federal government can step in and prosecute someone.

Okay, so the state cannot.

The state can't.

I think that's what, but again, like, I don't know.

Now look.

Do I have it on my calendar to commit a crime against a Native American on a Native American reservation?

Of course you can.

I do.

But that's not for six months, so I have not really put much thought into how that will turn out.

Okay.

So I was thinking.

Is that just because you won't be driving through

a Native American reservation for another six months?

Well, there's a lot of planning that goes into a meteor crime, like the one I'm planning.

Because I can't give you all the details on that crime plot right now.

It's understandable.

Because, number one, I haven't worked them all out.

And number two, I don't want to necessarily tip my hand here.

Right, okay.

But, you know, if you are on a Native American reservation right now, I'd watch it.

That's what I'll say.

That's what I'll say to you.

If you see me coming.

Can you tell us which reservation?

I cannot, Pat.

Okay.

All right.

I mean, I know.

Can you give us a state like New Mexico or Texas.

I don't think there's any reason.

I don't see how that benefits me.

I'm just saying if you see me, like if you're a fan of the show, you're Native American and you see me coming, I'd run.

Now you know.

Your friends might not know.

All right.

They don't listen to the show.

They're not going to know that I'm there to commit a crime.

Yeah.

You know, but I do need to look into the details of this ruling before I really go through with the plan because I may wind up burning me.

I don't want that to happen, of course.

Yeah, you should at least know where they came down on it.

And here's the thing.

Most crimes that happen on Native American reservations happen to the Cherokee Nation.

Well, the Cherokee tribe,

where they're so proud to live and

so proud to die.

You know, the thing was, they took the whole Indian nation and they put them on this reservation.

They took away their way of life.

I mean, the tomahawk, the bow, and knife,

took away their native tongue, and they taught their stinking English to our young.

Take away to your young?

Yeah, to my young.

Why would they teach it to you?

Well, you don't taught English.

You pissed me off, though.

I'll tell you that.

Okay.

No,

I taught them Cherokee.

Oh, you did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But now they know English.

Well,

that's what I've been explaining to you.

Yeah, that's true.

You did mention it.

And then the beads we used to make by hand.

Yeah.

Well, nowadays they're made in Japan or Taiwan or China, even more nowadays.

Yeah, even more nowadays.

Bangladesh.

But Japan rhymes.

You know, so you're not going to say Bangladesh.

All the beads we made by hand are nowadays made in China.

That doesn't really work.

No, it doesn't work.

No, it does not work.

It doesn't really work.

It does not work at all.

But luckily, we've solved that.

The Cherokee Nation

and the Cherokee tribe should be all set after this.

Until I show up with my big crime plot.

But now you've warned them, so now they're on their guard.

Look, it's on them now.

You know, at one point, if it was a surprise that I just pull in and I'm just like, hey, here's my big crime plot and I'm going to unleash it on you.

That might be unfair to the Native Americans.

However,

now I've announced it.

Right.

So they know if you see Stu waddling down the street

or coming in in your brand new car, which is on order now.

I actually get a new car.

Yes, this is a big development.

Okay.

And this will help them watch for you, by the way.

Yes.

Stu's getting a new car.

Yes.

I don't know if you're going to share what kind of car it is, but he's getting a new one.

I feel like the same way I don't want to share the details of the crime plot.

I don't necessarily, because then they know what I was pulling up.

That's right.

But so I ordered a car in Joe Biden's economy.

And this has been an interesting experience.

Bam!

You got it right away?

No.

No?

No.

Well, there's no cars, you know, on the lot.

That's how I used to understand how you purchase cars.

Like you'd go to a dealership and they would say, here are the cars we have.

Would you like to choose one of them?

Or you could special order one and it'll be here in six or eight weeks.

That's kind of the way you're, it would typically go.

That's not how it goes now.

No, it really isn't.

Um, so I put, I kind of agonized over what I was going to do.

They didn't have any cars on the lot that I would, that I wanted or of the type that I wanted.

So I did have to put in a special order.

And the special order normally would take six to eight weeks.

That's, you know, that was the timeline.

Um,

when I put in the order, they said, Look,

supply chain stuff, we've got a lot of issues going on.

And I understood that.

You know, I did understand that.

It's now been

10 months.

A 10 months.

It's the better part of a year now.

Yeah.

I put it in.

And it was supposed to be six to eight weeks.

August 20th.

I put this order in.

Because I had the email where I was, I confirmed it.

I had gone back and forth with them a few times before this, but I really locked down the order.

It was August 20th, 2021.

It is now June 29th, 2022.

Jeez.

And just a few weeks ago, Pat, I got a,

or I guess it was maybe a little over a month ago now, where I got a target production week where they decided they were going to actually theoretically build this car.

Wow.

So the target production week comes.

Okay.

They say the target production week is going on.

Just the other day, I get a text that says, quote, your car has been built.

And I was like, wow, that's incredible.

It's been built.

Can I come pick it up?

We don't have a delivery date for it yet.

But the car has been built.

I've got a VIN number and everything.

In theory, this car exists somewhere.

I think in Lansing, Michigan or somewhere up there.

I don't know.

The third worldification of this country is unreal.

It's unreal.

It's unbelievable.

My daughter, I think I mentioned this before,

was here for a month visiting.

And so we were going to get her a car because her old one sort of blew up, fell apart.

It was no good.

So we went to a dealership, and it was a Honda dealership, actually.

And we said, so we'd like a Honda, like maybe a Civic?

Yeah, we don't have any Civics.

Wait, Honda doesn't have anything.

They don't have any Civics.

No.

They've had them since like 1983.

Exactly.

Yeah.

But not now.

Not now.

Well, what about an accord then?

What about, no, we don't have any accords.

CR-Vs?

Is that a thing here?

No.

No, we don't have any cars.

Well, we do have SUVs.

We have 20 SUVs.

You can pick from among them.

I don't want an SUV for my daughter.

So

we're out of luck.

So we go to a Nissan dealer, same deal.

She goes back to Utah, and we're on the phone with the dealerships there, and they have no cars, nor can they get any in the next six months.

It's like, okay,

do you have a used car?

No, but we could get you one by September.

And we're going to charge you more than a new car.

Right.

More than a new car.

It's unbelievable.

That's one of the options

I've had over the past 10 months, Pat, with a car

ordered, which is get one that's used.

Well, those cars are $30,000 and $40,000 more than

the actual cost of the car.

It's crazy.

Which, I mean, yeah, I guess you could pay for that for that premium, but I don't really want to.

No, me neither.

So, nor do I, I don't have any interest actually at all in paying that much for a car.

So it's like, especially when a car that I know the dealership supposedly is selling for for much, much less.

And it is, it's a, it's, it's really incredible when you think about, go back to

the

standard

cliche of car dealerships, right?

Now, this is not always fair, but sometimes, you know, we go back to the 80s and 90s, there'd be those movies, you know, where they'd be, the car dealers would have their car salesmen out there harassing you to get you into anything.

How do I, let me, how do I get you into a car today?

Let me go back to my manager.

I'm going to get you a real deal on this.

And they would give misleading ads and all these stereotypes that aren't always true, but have been around for decades.

It's the exact opposite.

There are times where I'd reach out to the dealers and I started calling other dealers around the country to try to figure out how I could do this faster.

They would just, they would just, they barely even respond to you.

Like, nah, we don't have anything.

Like, they don't even care

because they know it.

Well, they can't get any cars.

And weren't they getting a little pissed that you kept calling them?

They got a little.

There was a time where they were just annoyed with me personally, which is understandable, frankly.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Here's another example of the inmates running the asylum.

The Amazon employees got together and wrote the leadership of Amazon, an open letter.

Group of pro-abortion Amazon employees filed this public letter to the company where they demanded that the online retailer cease any and all business in pro-life states.

We the undersigned, they wrote, come to you today to request immediate and decisive action against the threat to our basic human rights with the overturning of Roe v.

Wade.

As part of Amazon's wide-reaching efforts toward a more inclusive and diverse workforce,

Really?

Are they really trying to get a more inclusive and diverse workforce?

We believe that Amazon cannot let this recent decision go unanswered.

We ask Amazon, the world's best employer, to actively defend against this assault on our liberty.

Since when is this a corporation's job in this country?

to defend their employees'

liberty.

I mean, Amazon's in business to make money.

Let's face it.

That's what they want to do.

Bezos started the company so that he could make a living for himself and his family.

It worked out pretty well.

It turns out that he made a really nice living for himself and his family.

And

it's not his responsibility

to

follow up on the ideology of his employees,

but they want him to cease operations

in states that enact laws that threaten the lives and liberty of abortion seekers.

That was so stupid.

I would abort every one of their careers.

I would, too.

Everyone who signed it.

I'd abort that career.

Either by denying health care in life-threatening circumstances or by criminalizing abortion seekers and providers.

Nobody is criminalizing abortion seekers.

Now, some have threatened the abortion providers, like the doctors or the clinics that are involved.

But nobody is saying that the woman is going to be prosecuted in any way.

Now,

I don't think that's in any of these laws.

Nor is their life in danger because in, I believe, every single case in these states that are banning abortion,

there's the exception for the mother's life being in danger.

Every single one.

Every one of them.

Now, their argument is this weird Roe versus Wade argument that's been around for a long time now, which is, well,

they could die in childbirth.

That's really their argument here.

Like, if you make them carry to term, they could theoretically die during childbirth.

Come on.

Really?

Yeah, that is.

Is this 1842 now?

Yeah, exactly.

Is that where we are?

We're in a little house on the prairie.

And

this dock is about 80 miles away.

We got to get him by carriage.

Right.

It's just so painfully stupid.

Obviously, you could die during childbirth.

You could die driving to the hospital before childbirth, too.

You could die for a lot of reasons.

You can't predict it.

Obviously, the chances of you dying during childbirth are very, very small.

But you could also die during an abortion.

True.

There's risk everywhere all the time.

It's not a sensible point.

They've been trying to make that.

They tried to make that back 50 years ago because it was more common.

And so they would compare it against abortion, which

also has its risks.

But especially with the medical ones they have now, their claims are, well,

it's much safer than going through with a full childbirth.

Now, look,

in 2022, we're talking about two very unlikely outcomes.

It's unlikely that you would die during an abortion.

It is unlikely that you would die during childbirth.

That's not very common.

And it might be about equally risky on both of those.

You might have about an equal chance with each.

I don't know.

They claim, you know, their claim is, oh, no, it's much more dangerous.

You know, and like, it's not, you know, this is a relative versus absolute risk thing they're doing here, which is like both abs, when you talk about absolute risk, chances are incredibly low that either one of these two things would happen.

However, their claim is, oh, well, if you compare, if you do a relative risk calculation, you could say, well, it's much more likely.

It's very unlikely either way.

It's a silly, silly defense.

It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

It just

come on.

It's just, it's completely ridiculous.

I mean, we've talked, I don't want to badger people with all the numbers and go through the whole argument again, but it's just a silly argument.

I mean, well, anything can happen in life.

Of course, you're going to die at some point.

There's 100% chance of death in your future.

You know,

I hate to break it to you.

There's 100% chance you're going to die someday.

Yeah.

And, you know, you're not going to be able to manage exactly when that's going to happen.

The chances of you dying during childbirth are extraordinarily low,

you know, in any developed country at this point.

But they've been doing this from the beginning.

Even before Roe v.

Wade, this is how they got Roe v.

Wade

passed in part, is lying about the risk for

women who don't have access to abortions because they just made up a number of 10,000 back alley abortion deaths every year.

Well, what?

Where did you get that?

If you go back and look at where they got that, which 10,000 back alley abortion deaths every year.

There was a doctor who was a pro-abortion guy who just made it up.

He just completely picked the number and threw it out there.

The press ran with it.

And that's one of the things that turned the tide.

So often the case with the left and their arguments.

It's the same thing with

the straw situation.

The straw one is the one that's.

It's a nine-year-old kid and a homework project trying to figure out how many straws were wasted every day.

And somebody threw out a number that was completely inaccurate and made up of 500 million a day.

And it was a kid, legitimately a kid, who put this in a school project.

And everybody

ran with it.

These dumb restaurants have paper straws.

That's legitimately

the story.

Yeah.

I think it was a nine-year-old.

It was a nine-year-old.

Who

had a school project that got into the media and they got picked up by a bunch of people.

And then everyone said, oh my gosh, the problem here in plastic straws.

We need to get rid of those plastic straws and have paper straws that immediately fold when you start putting liquid through them because they're paper.

Paper and liquid are not always the best match.

And then they fold and you have to ask for three more.

So it doesn't save the environment at all.

And we are down that road.

You know, another one,

the garbage island in the middle of the ocean.

The yeah, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Yeah, which does not exist.

Two and a half times the size of Texas.

Yeah.

Been portioned.

Proportion a million times does not exist.

It can't, for some reason, be photographed by satellite imagery.

For some reason, we don't have a picture of it.

And these things.

Why don't we have a picture of it?

Because as Stu just said, it doesn't exist.

It's not really there.

These things are so widespread that, like, I remember when I learned that the island didn't exist, because I went through the exact same process you went through, Pat.

I said, well, wait a minute.

Why isn't there a picture of this?

What does it look like?

Where is it?

What's the location of it?

And you look for it, and oh, yeah, there isn't one.

They're just saying there's a bunch of garbage in the ocean.

And if you

combine it all into one place, in theory, there would be an island that's this big.

But that's not what happens.

And by the way, we're not the ones responsible for it.

Almost all the trash is coming from China.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I, it was my search for the picture of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch where I found the salon article.

Salon, which is a left-wing, big-time left-wing publication where the guys admitted, hey, you know what?

We should should really tell people there really isn't a great Pacific garbage patch.

We've been lying about that for years and it's just not there.

For years.

Wow.

These things happen.

I was blown away.

I really thought there probably was a garbage patch.

Yeah, I just assumed there was and was like, well, I mean, you know, I don't know.

That seems on, it seems bizarre, but I guess maybe the current pulls it, pushes it.

And I don't know.

Who knows?

I don't know what I thought was actually happening.

I never put much thought into it.

It was so much reported as such fact.

Another one is is this idea that global warming, if we don't do anything in 10 years, the society is going to end.

And this has been everywhere.

Every politician on the left has said it.

AOC, it's like our favorite thing to say.

Biden has said it multiple times.

And my argument on that when I first heard it was, look, I've looked in enough climate data over the years.

This seems like some outlying, scary scenario that some doctor or some scientist said, but is not the realistic possibility.

Is it, you know, is it, you know, and it doesn't mean the world's going to end.

It means means that we hit a point where it's going to be difficult to

return because of this idea of positive feedback.

It's a standard thing in global warming theory where each thing that goes wrong feeds back and makes the other things go more wrong.

And then that in turn makes the next thing go wrong.

It's a feedback loop.

It's a feedback loop.

And there's no reason to believe in

all the stuff that I've ever read and what I certainly believe and many scientists as well that the climate is a positive feedback system.

It seems very clear over thousands of years.

It's a negative feedback system.

It seems to be able to correct its ice ages with

going the other way.

It's the reason why humanity has been able to live here for a long time because of that.

So that's a whole nother story.

But

that's what I thought.

And that was just me analyzing it and just kind of like looking at the way these things normally play out.

However, that was not accurate.

My opinion was not accurate.

And And the reason I know this is from Michael Schellenberger, who wrote in his book about this and decided to actually go to the scientist who supposedly was being quoted and asked them, Hey, guys, did you guys say?

He was at the UN's

climate

division or whatever.

What do they call that?

The IPCC?

IPCC.

And he went there and he talked to the scientist.

To the very scientist.

And what the scientist said was, oh, thank you.

We were so sick of this being reported.

No, we didn't say that.

That's really what it was.

That's how it turned out.

Yeah.

It's one of the most widely shared pieces of climate hysteria.

And the guy who was quoted didn't even say it.

That is how crazy this stuff is.

It becomes part of the ecosystem in such a weird way.

Yep.

And from the straws to

all of this stuff,

to deaths of back alley abortions.

Yeah.

Back alley abortions is a great one.

Look,

there probably were, and we know there were, by the way, because some of the abortion activists were the ones doing it.

They were doing the procedures that were killing women.

That was not, that was not pro-life people being like, I can't wait to do a fake abortion so I can kill people.

The year before Roe v.

Wade,

where they were still doing back alley abortions because they were illegal.

There were 24 deaths

due to illegal abortions.

No, there were 24 deaths due to legal abortions.

There were 39 deaths due to back alley.

Okay.

So 39 in a year, the year before Roe v.

Wade was passed.

Because at that time, about two-thirds of states had banned it.

Yeah.

But there was still a third that had allowed it.

Right.

Because it was in the situation like it is now, which when they keep saying we're going to go back to pre-Row times, that's not true.

It's going to be, there's going to be more access to abortion now than there was pre-Roe because more states will have it open.

But yeah, so you have several dozen.

And look, we want to obviously stop all of them.

There was, you know, maybe it is, you know,

I would think a back alley abortion would be very dangerous.

But honestly, at this point, far from 10,000, though.

Very far from 10,000.

And

this is, again, there was a group, we talked about Jane's Revenge that was threatening to burn down cities and stuff when this verdict came out.

That is based on another organization.

The Jane part of that comes from an organization that popped up after Roe v.

Wade, and they were providing illegal abortions for women.

Yeah, it was leading up to that, I think.

And the idea was they would

give these abortions out, and those are the people,

not just that particular organization, but those types of organizations were the ones doing the illegal abortions.

These groups that are praised by the left are the ones doing the illegal abortions that led to the deaths,

at least in some of these cases.

And that one, I don't know if there's any with that specific organization, but a lot of those organizations existed in places where these things were banned.

But beyond all of that, right?

They're like, oh my gosh, we're going to go back to this era of

back alley abortions.

Why?

Wait, what?

What year is it?

Right.

We have a situation where any woman in any state can get

an abortion if their life is in danger.

Any person in any state is within a two-hour flight of being in a place where they can get an abortion at any time.

Okay.

And your employer will almost certainly pay for it.

And your employer will probably pay for it.

If not, an abortion activist organization will pay for it because there's a bunch of them that have already popped up.

And HHS is talking about paying for it.

HHS is talking about it.

AOC wants to put these on federal land.

I think that's idiotic and won't do past contents.

But that's possible.

National parks.

That would be great.

We do know that private organizations are doing Winnebagos and they're pushing them right up to the borders so you can come right across the border and get your abortion.

And all of this

is almost a pointless conversation for most women because you can order it online from an Indian pharmacy, which will have your abortion pills to you within days.

And you can take it in Texas, in Louisiana, in Mississippi, wherever you want to.

All of this I consider to be bad.

But why would you go to a back alley abortionist when this is the situation where you can get it legally

and get it free anywhere or just get it in the mail?

Why would we go back to an era of back alley abortions anyway, even if it was only 39 deaths?

It doesn't make any sense at all.

And anyone who thinks about it, I think gets to that conclusion.

But your job as an American right now is not to think.

Because if you think, then all these things are obvious.

If you can do what they want you to do, which is just nod your head and go along with it and post your tweets and memes and TikToks, then you're playing the game the way they want you to play it.
