First, let me tell you about Sweat Block.

If you've ever found yourself in the situation where you're in public and you have to walk around like a penguin with your arms down at your sides so no one sees that you're sweating through the armpits of your shirt, if you know what I mean there,

where you have to kind of wave at people with your hands down at your sides,

if you do that,

you may want to try sweatblock.

Sweatblock has

a, they have these wipes that you apply at night.

will literally protect you from embarrassing and uncomfortable sweat for days.

I think it's like like once a week you put these things on.

Sweatblock was developed by a Harvard doctor who was tired of doing a presentation with, you know, the whole situation going on with too much sweat with his shirts.

And his problem became your solution.

If you

like,

you know,

having a shirt that's not stained and embarrassing yourself,

you want to try Sweatblock.

They also have antiperspirant as well.

The deodorant stick is there.

Give it a shot.

Lot to talk about today.

It is Stu, and eventually Pat Gray will be joining us as well.

In for Glenn, back in just a second to start the show.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the corner survived.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

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

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

This is the Glen Beck program.

A lot going on today, a lot to talk about.

It's Stu and Pat Gray in for Glenbeck today.

I want to start with one of the strangest stories here over the past couple of weeks.

The sudden awakening of journalism around Hunter Biden.

We start there.

Next.

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?

Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004 Relief.

Stu Bergerian here for Glenn Backpack Right joining us here in just a minute.

Glenn will be back tomorrow.

I believe he's recovering from a bender he was on with Hunter Biden last night.

And it's interesting to hear how that bender went because Hunter seems to be having a great old time.

He's out in Malibu, paying $30,000 a month for Secret Service to protect Hunter Biden, which is fascinating.

I mean, he does have a lot of corrupt connections, so he probably does need the protection.

Protection from himself is probably the number one priority if you want to make sure Hunter makes it through the next

few wonderful years of his art career.

It's interesting to see the bizarre series of events that has led the mainstream media to change its approach to Hunter Biden from one of complete,

complete, you know,

just turning off all of the news to the point where the nation's oldest newspaper, the New York Post, was banned from Twitter.

You could not post the link to the Hunter Biden laptop story back in the day, or you would get banned or censored or

shadow banned or whatever the policy of the day was.

And as time went on, it became obvious this laptop was real.

We need to look back, though, and remember it wasn't just the laptop.

The laptop was a big part of the evidence when it comes to Hunter Biden and the surrounding Biden crime family saga, but it was also witnesses, people who worked directly with Hunter Biden on these deals, coming out publicly and telling the news: hey, I work with a guy, here's what he did.

We had emails from other children of high-powered Democrats like John Kerry,

and we looked there and we saw there was evidence that something big had gone on.

And

even after the latest round of revelations, the Bidens are sticking to this line that Hunter Biden even didn't do anything wrong.

Now, the media has decided to change where this line is drawn.

They have decided we're going to say, okay, Hunter, maybe he did do some shady stuff, but Joe Biden, he's totally clean.

Don't worry about that at all.

Don't you look there at all.

It's a bad place to look.

You are bad if you look there.

What are you?

A conspiracy theorist?

Forget the fact that we told you you were a conspiracy theorist about Hunter Biden a couple weeks ago.

But now we agree you were right on that one.

But your new thing that Joe Biden is tied into this, that's the new conspiracy.

And we're supposed to sit back and take this, I guess.

Is this the sort of world you want?

Is this the sort of media that you want?

The New York Times came out, and they were the first ones, and they threw it in paragraph, I believe it was 17 of a a news story where they said, Hey, by the way, this is all, we know about this because

Hunter Biden had a laptop that he dropped off for computer repair.

You're not going to believe this.

And the emails have become public, and we've been able to confirm them.

As if the, you know, half of the United States wasn't screaming about this a week before the election when it would have made a difference.

And they hid it.

Now the Washington Post has come out and they have also confirmed the laptop is real and confirmed these emails are real.

And they've written multiple stories over just the past couple of days, including

an editorial board op-ed

entitled The Hunter Biden Story is an Opportunity for a Reckoning.

Now, when you hear that headline, what do you think?

I mean, in a rational

world,

what this would be would be a giant apology to anybody who cared about their country.

Hey,

we had this opportunity.

You had a choice to make on whether this was a corrupt guy coming into office in Joe Biden.

We didn't give you that information.

In fact, we intentionally suppressed it because we wanted the other guy.

We wanted him to win.

We didn't want the other guy to win.

We didn't like Donald Trump.

So we intentionally suppressed it and didn't tell you about it and didn't look into it.

We closed our eyes.

we stuck our head in the sand, and we hoped you didn't look there.

Luckily, enough of you didn't.

So, now, two years later, we can tell you about it.

That's what this should be.

And it should be a moment of self-reflection for the media where they can stop.

They can stop themselves and say, Wait a minute, what are we doing here?

Are we an arm of the Democratic Party or are we journalists?

In a rational world, that's what this op-ed would be:

An opportunity to say, hey, we screwed up.

Here's our chance to make it better.

We're going to try better in the future.

And I think a lot of people on the conservative side look at this and say, first of all, obviously that's not going to happen.

But secondly,

they've always been this way.

And I'm not sure about that.

I think something has changed in the media.

Now, the media has always been to the left.

They've always been a collection of people who vote liberal.

We've seen polls of newsrooms where you're talking 90%, 95% of people will vote for the Democratic candidate.

They've always been liberal.

But there has been this idea among journalists, and you look at a lot of the old school journalists, and this proves out, where

they at least wanted to give the impression that they were doing journalism.

They wanted you to think what they were doing was some sort of fair reporting on the the news.

They wanted you to believe that while sure they might be liberal in their personal life, they're looking at these things fairly and analyzing them so that you can understand and make your own decisions.

It wasn't real, but they wanted you to believe it.

And some of them had convinced themselves that, yeah, I see things through this prism, but I'm doing, that's not my job.

My job is not to be an opinion person.

My job is to be a journalist, and I'm going to come and I'm going to deliver the news.

And it's impossible to remove your humanity out of that situation, as we know.

You can't just say, Okay, well, I'm going to be completely fair.

I know I come at these stories, and I see them through a conservative prism, and you probably do as well.

And that's okay.

You know, it's okay to admit, okay, I see the world as a better place with less government involvement, so I'm going to be more skeptical of a giant government program than a liberal might be.

That's totally fine.

And journalists used to be able to say, Okay, well, we're at least trying, we're trying

to do our best to tell the truth to the people.

That is dead.

Dead.

And I'll tell you, the exact moment it died

in November of 2016, when Hillary Clinton lost that election and Donald Trump was announced as the winner.

That's the moment it died.

Because,

and this is, I tell this to people all the time, and they can't believe it.

If you don't know people in the media, if you don't know liberals in the the media, we know a bunch of them.

We used to work at CNN headline news.

We know people in this world.

We have lots of contacts in the media.

We have to talk to them all the time.

They're wonderful, wonderful people, of course, in every circumstance.

But

they blame themselves for Donald Trump.

The one time they've taken responsibility for anything in their lives is Donald Trump.

And they blame themselves for this.

And the reason this is,

it's hard for people to wrap their arms around this, but I'm just going to say it.

I'm going to let you, you may want to pull over to the side of the road.

It may make you so angry that you just look for the nearest bridge abutment and drive into it.

But what

the media in these big cities believe is that in 2016, they were too tough on Hillary Clinton.

This is really what they believe.

They really think the 2016 election was a story of unfair treatment to Hillary Clinton because they focused too much on her email scandal and too much on her corruption.

Now,

that is the most disconnected from reality view that I can possibly imagine.

They were not

too tough on Hillary Clinton.

They were very, very tough on Donald Trump.

But that's how they see the story.

And so when we got to 2020, we're eight or nine days before the election, a laptop comes in admittedly strange circumstances.

I mean, look, I can understand there being a little skepticism on Rudy Giuliani showing up with a laptop a week before the election saying it was left at a computer shop by Hunter Biden.

I can understand why you might show a tad bit of skepticism as to the origin story of this laptop, but it's your job.

in the middle of the biggest story of anyone's lives to go

and check on this laptop to see if it affects that big story of the election.

It was, I mean, we're in the middle of a pandemic.

There's all this stuff going on.

Black Lives Matter has just happened.

There's riots around the country.

We have a presidential election.

And you get a big piece of evidence like this.

And they decided, we're not going to let 2016 happen again.

We will not let it happen again under our watch.

We are not going to tell people this story.

We are intentionally going to suppress it.

No one gets to hear this.

We are not going to be responsible for another four years of Donald Trump.

We are not going to tell the people, hey, look, maybe the Biden crime family is as corrupt as the Clinton crime family was.

We don't want you thinking about that right before you go cast your vote.

So let's not cover it at all.

And so they suppressed this evidence brought not only by Rudy Giuliani, but by the New York Post.

And you might say, well, that's not a liberal newspaper.

Well, I'm sorry, they're not liberal enough for you, but

they're the nation's oldest newspaper.

At the very least, you could allow them to tell their story and then critique it if you think there's a problem with it.

NPR

was out there saying, hey, we're not going to cover the Hunter Biden thing because we don't cover BS stories.

And so the media made a decision.

Not only are we going to do what we did last time with Hillary Clinton, last time with Hillary Clinton, we went to the we-I mean, you remember the stories about it.

Yes, they reported on the email scandal, but then they told you why it didn't matter over and over and over and over again.

That was them being too tough.

They believe that just alerting people to the possibility of a story was too much information because you might make the wrong choice.

We can't trust you with your vote.

So, they went the other way.

They decided to completely hide this story from you for two

years.

Joe Biden has already been president.

We're coming up on two years on this story, and they're finally getting around to telling you, oh, by the way, all of that was true.

And there's really only one of three reasons

why they're doing this right now.

We'll get into those reasons coming up in just a second.

First, I want to tell you about blinds.com.

So, the media makes such a big deal of coming up with a policy on Hunter Biden, which is, you know, head in the sand.

We're not telling you anything.

You don't see anything, nothing to see here.

Please go away.

Why would they reverse that decision?

Because they don't have to tell you about this.

People are like, oh, now they have to talk about it.

No, they don't.

If they don't have to talk about this story a week before a presidential election, they never have to talk about it.

They don't have to tell you.

Why are they deciding to tell you now?

Let me give you a couple of possibilities.

Number one,

Hunter Biden is on the verge of being indicted, and they don't feel like that story is going to get past you.

That's going to be a big one.

And they don't think they can hide that one from you.

They can hide speculation on evidence of a laptop, but when Hunter Biden is, you're seeing him all over social media being arrested or indicted, it's going to be difficult to hide that one.

And this is the theory put forward by Peter Schweizer, the author, who just wrote a book.

He has the laptop.

He has access to multiple email accounts of people who have given him access to these accounts to look at these emails.

He just wrote a book about this.

And a lot of it has to do with the connections to China.

Some of these connections have been confirmed by places like the Washington Post and the New York Times now after his book came out.

And he believes that they have enough to indict him.

This is happening, and now the media wants to get ahead of it.

They want to say, Yeah, no, we covered that.

You know, we were the ones that we broke that story.

We were out there, we were telling you all about it.

Once we got confirmation, we just needed some time to confirm it.

And now we've been out there, we've told you the story, and of course, he's indicted.

I will tell you this, though, it's not Joe Biden.

Don't worry about that.

Don't worry about that.

So, that's option one.

Hunter's on the verge of being indicted.

Option two,

the media is preparing to turn on Joe Biden.

And you might say, well, the media never turns on a Democratic president, and that's a very good point.

However, you have a pretty special circumstance here.

We have never seen a worse 15 months to start a presidency than the one we're seeing right now.

This has been a catastrophe from day one.

Nobody,

maybe he turns this around somehow.

I don't know how.

But we're talking about an approval rating that's already sinking into the 30s, and we're not even at the midterms yet.

Picture a world where Republicans dominate the House in wave fashion, take the Senate back,

and

we're looking at a presidential election a couple of years away when you have a Democratic president who's in his late 70s, has

a son who might

implicate him in massive crimes internationally.

you might say to yourself as a Democrat, look, let's be honest with ourselves, we're toast in 2024 if this guy runs.

This might be the time to pressure him to say, you know what, Joe,

you're such a great guy.

You got so much going on with your family, though.

And this is a time they need their father.

Hunter needs you right now.

And maybe this is the time you step away.

Maybe you don't run for reelection.

Maybe we give another person a chance.

Please get out of this house.

This White House you've moved into, move into another house anywhere else in the country.

There has to be a softening of the ground for that type of thing.

And it's not guaranteed that that's going to happen.

I mean, I think Biden wants to stay there.

And, you know, name recognition alone, he'll have a good chance of winning that nomination, no matter what his approval rating is among Democrats.

But.

The way to get rid of him is for the media and the Democratic Party to pressure him to get out.

He is very susceptible to pressure from the left, as we've seen over the first 15 months, and we're about to see on the border.

And the third possibility is that the media suddenly realized that they treated Trump unfairly and will now make an attempt at actual journalism.

Yeah.

Absolutely zero chance that one is the true option.

There's no

chance that's true.

It would be nice if it were true.

It would be rational if it were true.

It would be just if it were true.

But this is something the media cannot abide.

They cannot say they've made a mistake.

In this op-ed, I talked to you about the Hunter Biden story as an opportunity for a reckoning.

Sure, they say maybe we should have covered this slightly differently.

The entire piece is justifying why they covered it the way that they did.

Talking about why it was a rational choice to blame Russian disinformation for the laptop.

They actually say that now.

This isn't 2020.

They're saying now it was a rational choice for them to blame Russian disinformation back in 2020.

So the apology is not coming, boys and girls.

What is coming here is one of the other two options.

Either something is about to break with Hunter Biden in the near future, or there's a bit of a realization going on among Democrats Democrats that they might need to change course and change course fast.

The Glenn Back 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.

Go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.

Doing our part to keep free speech alive.

There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck program.

So the New York Post got a hold of what was in the computer and, you know, because the New York Post is a a Republican paper and the New York Times and the Washington Post are the Democrat paper.

That's where we are again, kind of.

And the Republican paper, Twitter wouldn't

cancel their account.

Can't even report on this story.

And now two years later, the New York Times and the Washington Post have come around to say, okay, there was something there.

Now, what I said at the beginning, how it came to them, it came to them through Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon.

So yes, of course, when Rudy Giuliani says, I've got some evidence, you take that with a giant thing of salt.

But

not two years.

It didn't take two years.

It looks like the left-wing media just buried the story because it wasn't part of their narrative.

And that's why people don't trust the media.

You have to love the crowd at the Bill Maher show for HBO, where the only thing in that entire monologue they clap for is the one slap at Rudy Giuliani.

Everything else is a slap at the media, how they didn't handle the Hunter Biden story.

They are dead silent.

And then he says one little throwaway line about Rudy Giuliani not being completely trustworthy as a campaign operative.

And there is where the crowd goes crazy.

By the way, you can get a Hunter Biden laptop case at hunterbidenlaptopcase.com.

It's something you will enjoy, I think.

HunterBidenlaptopCase.com is the place to go to get that.

If you want to have

the ultimate in Hunter Biden wear, you'll enjoy that.

We are talking about the media, and we are talking about the way

the entire media, and not to mention just the media, but the Republicans as well, how they decide to react to these stories as they break.

And

this goes to the Katanji Brown Jackson saga as well.

Katanji Brown Jackson, of course, is going to be

the nominee for the Supreme Court.

That is going to happen.

She's going to get on the Supreme Court, And

that's real.

That's really going to happen.

We told you this at the very beginning.

If you were expecting a real fight from Republicans on Katanji Brown Jackson, you were going to be bitterly disappointed.

They were going to do a whole lot of nothing.

There, of course, would be a couple of senators who would say some critical things.

They weren't going to just sit there and act as if she was perfect.

But there was never any chance that you were going to get a real fight from the Republicans on this one because they looked at at the political realities and they tried to judge them.

And what they saw was that they could not stop Katanji Brown Jackson basically no matter what.

So they decided not really to try.

That is essentially what you just saw happening.

You read the stories about this and they act as if

Brett Kavanaugh was nothing compared to what Katanji Brown Jackson just went through.

It's just, it's incredible to see the reaction to this.

They didn't accuse, as far as I know, and Pat Gray joins the program.

As far as I know, Pat, they didn't accuse Katanji Brown Jackson of rape.

No, I didn't hear him do that.

I didn't hear that happen once.

No.

Murder?

No.

Embezzling funds.

No.

Any made-up crime.

What about

drinking too much in high school?

Did they accuse her of no?

They did not.

Did they ask her anything about her drinking habits?

Not that I ever saw.

She could be a raging alcoholic.

Do we know?

We don't know.

We don't know.

They didn't even ask about it.

No.

They basically...

It didn't even come up.

You had a couple of people like Ted Cruz who asked him some questions and Josh Hawley about her

seemingly lenient sentences for child porn purveyors.

Which seems fair when you're talking about a judge and some of her rulings.

Yeah.

I think that's fair game.

And this was sort of portrayed as like, why are the Republicans saying she's in favor of child porn?

Nobody is saying she's in favor of child porn.

What they're saying is

her judicial philosophy shows she's not tough on criminals, especially serious ones.

And that, do we want that as, you know, the Supreme Court justice we're getting?

Is that what we want?

I'm going to say, I don't.

I don't either.

Maybe I'm in the minority.

Maybe we're in the minority.

It's possible.

Because

she's going to skate right through.

Yeah, she's going to get through.

It's basically over.

Yeah, it is.

And not only

the Joe Manchin vote to me, and Joe Manchin has held the line on a couple of small things here and there, but generally speaking, Joe Manchin will not save you.

He will not be your savior.

That is true.

He will not come from the clouds.

Absolutely, I remember you predicting that.

Joe Manchin would not save the day.

He will not save the day.

He will not come through the clouds with beams of sun behind him to save the day.

Now, he might shave a couple of dollars off of a bill here and there.

It's possible, but particularly when he's alone, he's not going to do that.

He had Kirsten Sinema with him on Build Back Better, which still, I think, has a good chance of going through in some form,

scaled down form.

I mean, Manchin has said he wants to, he wants to spend $1.5 trillion.

Yeah.

This is not a guy who's holding the line on spending.

He just didn't want to spend 3.5 because his state absolutely would hate him for it.

So Manchin is not going to hold the line.

That was the end of the actual drama to this hearing.

The question now just was, what Republicans were going to go the other way and vote for confirmation.

And, Pat, I've worked up a list here of the worst votes.

All right.

The worst votes for Republicans when it comes to this confirmation.

I'm going to give an honorable mention to Lindsey Graham.

And I want to say, Lindsey Graham is voting against Katanji Brown Jackson, okay?

However, we have to be realistic about this.

Lindsey Graham is terrible on these votes.

He constantly is going the wrong way on them.

He is a senator you do not need to tolerate in South Carolina.

South Carolina could give you a good senator.

You could have one.

that is good.

And people like, oh, well, I liked Lindsey Graham in the Kavanaugh hearings, and he was great in the Kavanaugh hearings.

There's no doubt about it.

This is when he shines, when he could make a big deal of himself and use that to raise funds.

That's the Lindsey Graham guarantee.

He will show up in those moments.

And so now he's showing up to oppose Katanji Brown Jackson,

not because he

has any principle,

because he has a personal relationship of sorts with another person.

who was in the final three,

Judge Childs, from South Carolina.

And that's who he wanted.

And he's mad he didn't get it because he said in advance he would vote for her.

One of the final three in Joe Biden's short list was from South Carolina.

He came out publicly and advocated for her.

She did not get the nomination.

His feelings are hurt, and now he's going the other way.

That's Lindsey Graham.

So he gets an honorable mention for me.

Okay.

Okay.

So there's three Republicans that we believe are going to vote for Katanji Brown Jackson to get her through.

So let me give you the the most understandable, okay, the least offensive to me, and that's Susan Collins.

Susan Collins is from Maine.

This is a state that is, you might be able to convince me it's sort of purplish at times, but it certainly leans blue.

A real conservative in Maine would have a tough time winning.

Here is a case where a political consideration, if you're going to make one one and not vote on principle, which is what I would prefer, but if you're going to make a political consideration, you could make the argument this vote might actually help Susan Collins stay in the Senate.

And while Susan Collins is a terrible senator, I mean, she's awful.

She is barely a Republican.

But

as opposed to what you might have in Maine if Collins were to lose, you could make an argument she's better than the alternative there.

She's about as good as you're going to get in Maine.

At least there's an argument to be made that that's true.

And this vote may actually help her in Maine so she can say, I swear, she needs moderates there.

She needs some liberals there to vote for her to win.

So you can make the argument that that might actually help her stay in power.

It's the most understandable of the three.

Next up is Lisa Murkowski.

This one's

baffling.

Somewhat baffling because she's in the middle of a primary battle, right?

She could lose the nomination.

Now, she did lose the nomination a couple of cycles ago,

and she ran as a write-in candidate in the state.

And her name is so well known in the state that she actually won as a write-in candidate in one of the, I would say, one of the most incredible political achievements.

Yeah, because that just doesn't happen.

Yeah, when you get to the write-in period, you just don't win.

I mean, it's very difficult to change.

You might be the only U.S.

senator to ever win a write-in campaign.

That's a good question.

Yeah, you might be right on that.

I can't remember another one.

There was another, was it a congressman that did it recently?

It does happen very occasionally, but I don't think I've ever remembered a statewide race going that way.

I don't know.

I don't.

Yeah, she won as a write-in because it was during the Tea Party wave election, and she lost the primary to the Tea Party sort of candidate who then wound up losing to her.

And she didn't run as a Democrat.

She ran as I believe in an Independent and

as a write-in candidate and won.

So she has real name recognition.

She might think she's safe, but she is in the middle of a primary challenge in a likely Republican wave election year, and this is not going to help her in the primary.

So it's not an understandable vote.

I don't see why she would do this other than the fact that she really is

just

a left-leaning politician who believes Katanji Brown Jackson will probably be halfway decent.

And, you know, there is this thing, and we've seen this before from senators.

There's this

thought that you should just approve the nominees of the president.

Yeah, even Rand Paul.

Rand Paul has talked about a bunch of times, and now he's not in this.

And he thinks it's constitutional that you just

basically just say yes, unless it's really egregious.

Right.

Which is kind of.

If the president wants somebody and they're, you know, somewhat decent, you just give it to them.

You just give it to them, especially in this case where it's not going to change the balance of the court.

You're going from a hardcore liberal to a hardcore liberal.

So

the thought is just give it to them.

Rand Paul did not go that way this time.

It doesn't appear, at least we don't have any official vote, but he has not announced anything of that effect.

So Murkowski might just be that person.

She just approves these things, and she's also on the left.

But the gold medal, the number one, the unquestionable worst moment of this entire hearing is, of course, obviously, without a doubt, Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney, a guy who's from freaking Utah,

a senator from Utah, a state that can give us someone like Mike Lee, who's the best senator in the Senate,

we can get that out of Utah.

And instead, we have what I now believe is the worst senator in the Senate.

Because, you know,

you could say Susan Collins has a worst voting record, and you'd be right on that.

Collins is worse when it comes to a voting record.

But coming from Utah,

you can get a good senator out of Utah.

And instead, you have Mitt Romney.

And what's completely inexcusable here is that Mitt Romney voted against her last time when she was up for just a federal court

gig.

Yeah.

He voted against her then.

It wasn't that long ago.

No, months.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

It was months ago.

Voted against her then and now voted for her.

And this is the thing with Romney, which is so irritating, is where someone like Lindsey Graham will vote, you know, for a Katanji Brown Jackson when no one's paying attention.

And then when people are really looking at him, he's like, ah, crap, this is a big one.

Everyone's going to remember this.

I'm going to vote the right way this time.

That's Lindsey Graham.

Mitt Romney's the opposite.

I think Mitt Romney knows she's radical and voted against her last time because of it.

But now, when he's in the sunlight of the media, and everyone's fawning on people who will go against the Republican grain, people notice now he wants that adoration from the media.

He changes his vote to approving the nominee,

which is just despicable and frankly pathetic.

It's a sad puppy dog that's been kicked by its owner too many times and keeps coming back, hoping this time they'll pet him.

They're not going to pet you, man.

They're going to leave you on the roof is what they're going to do.

Nobody's going to pet you.

They're going to drive down the highway, leaving you on the roof.

This is pathetic.

Let me tell you about Life Lock.

Your identity and your money belong to you, and you've worked hard to build up what you have, and no doubt you'd probably like to keep it.

But it's also the cold, hard truth.

This does happen.

The best thing you can do is be prepared for it.

And the best way I know to be prepared is to have Life Lock.

It's vital to have online protection in this day and age.

Nobody can.

But they can monitor things better than you can on your own and better than anybody else.

We'll be Goldberg making Katanji Brown Jackson's nomination.

All about race, of course, because that's what everything is.

Everything's all about race.

It is.

Yeah.

Whether it is or not, it's about race.

Everything is racist.

You can't, I guess you can't just oppose her based on her rulings over the years.

You can't just decide, okay, she's kind of an extremist.

I really don't want her in there.

You can't do that to a black Supreme Court nominee unless

it's Tlawren Thomas.

Then you can make up all kinds of stories about things on Coke cans and all of that.

You sure can.

And

still talk about it 30 years later.

They're still trying to get him kicked off the Supreme Court now.

Yeah, right.

I mean, they're in the middle of saying, well, his wife texted somebody and we didn't like the text.

No.

That's about the substance of it, too.

Yeah.

And I'm sorry.

I'm trying to get absolutely nothing wrong, and they're trying to get him kicked off the bench.

I mean, do we, do we, uh, do we go after

Jackie Gray over Pat Gray's texts?

No.

No.

You have independence as a spouse to be your own person, and Ginny Thomas might believe things that Clarence Thomas doesn't.

There's no evidence that Clarence Thomas believes any of the things that Ginny Thomas says,

especially when it is tied to January 6th.

And they go back and they're like, look at this clip.

This is from a speech in 2003 where Clarence Thomas says he loves his wife with all of his heart.

Okay,

that's what you say about your wife usually.

Like, I don't know.

Is that a crime now?

To love your wife with all your heart.

That's a crime.

Apparently.

Apparently, that's a crime.

Jeez.

But Whoopi's words were, this is the most ridiculous.

Just say, I don't trust a black woman to do the job because I know y'all didn't have the same issues with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

What about Clarence Thomas?

Did she mention that?

No, she didn't mention

Clarence Thomas.

Okay, so maybe it's not the color of the skin.

Maybe not.

Or, as you point out with Amy Coney Barrett, the gender either doesn't seem to be an issue.

Right.

So you're just saying it's just black women.

It's black women.

That's what it is.

Okay.

Okay, that's what it is.

Yep.

A fascinating development.

everything, but they all love rough greens.

And if you have a dog and you want your dog to be, whether it's make your older dog more spry, a little more active, or just to get the best nutrients you can in your puppy.

This is rough greens.

It's not a dog food.

It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of the dog food, and it's filled with the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the things that your dog needs to lead its best life.

We've got the Battle of Republican governors coming up to talk about.

One of them, Ron DeSantis, he's actually not

the one battling, but he's the one being attacked.

We'll get to that in 60 seconds.

We always talk about how to fight back against the crazy education system we have.

Part of that is, of course, through legislation.

It's about winning people over who are voters.

It's also about doing your best for your kids and making sure your kids have the foundations they need to understand the principles of what's made America great.

I have two kids, a nine-year-old and a ten-year-old, and they actually ask me to read Tuttle Twins books with them.

And if you don't know what the Tuttle Twins books are, they're books that talk about foundational principles of the American experiment about capitalism.

I mean, the famous essay, I Pencil, if you know that essay, which was basically a love letter to capitalism.

And

they have a book about that for the Tuttle Twins telling that story that your kids aren't going to listen to.

They're not going to read an essay,

an economic essay, but this they will read and enjoy.

They also might not read an essay about the Fed.

Well, they will read the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island, and that tells that story about what all that means, and it teaches it to them in a way that they're going to understand and really enjoy.

The Tuttle Twins are giving away this book about money and inflation right now.

It's free.

You just pay for shipping.

All the Tuttle Twin books are excellent, but this book is crucial for families to read today so that they can prepare for what's coming.

Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com while supplies last, get your free copy of the tuttle twins and the creature from Jekyll Island.

It's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

All right.

I always hate it when Republicans start trying to eat their own.

I let the Democrats do that, the extreme left wing eating the

slightly less extreme left wing.

I don't understand why Republicans feel the need to start attacking other Republicans unless they're going to start campaigning for president.

And maybe that's the case here.

Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland slamming Ron DeSantis over the Disney bill.

And the fact that Ron DeSantis was taking on Disney for their

action

in trying to stop that bill bill from passing and now they're trying to overturn it.

Here's what he had to say.

Your fellow Republican governor DeSantis in Florida, he suggested that he will retaliate against Disney after it criticized Florida's so-called don't say gay bill, which bans certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom.

What's your reaction to that?

And then more broadly, what do you make of that legislation?

Well,

I didn't really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing's pause it for a second.

I didn't really see the details.

I don't know anything about it.

I have no idea what the bill says.

But let me go ahead and criticize it anyway.

This is how the whole media has handled this.

Exactly.

C.

Hogan is doing the same thing.

He's doing the same thing.

Thoughtful.

Just a

crazy fight.

I'm not sure.

It concerns me that DeSantis is always talking about

he was not demanding that businesses do things, but he was telling the cruise lines what they had to do.

He was telling local schools what they're mandating.

And now he wants to criticize Disney for expressing how they feel about

that bill.

I mean, they have every right to.

We have a thing called freedom of speech.

They can come out and say what they think.

I think the bill was kind of absurd.

But you didn't know what was in it.

But he doesn't know what's in it.

I don't understand.

How would you know it's absurd?

Like, how do we know Katanji Brown Jackson is the first black female if she doesn't know what the definition of the word female is?

Same thing here.

If you don't know what's in the bill, how do you know it's a joke?

How do you know it's absurd?

Shouldn't you read it before you call it that, though?

At the very least, shouldn't you have an idea what's in it before you criticize it?

Yes.

Is this not a basic function of your job?

If you're going to go on television and talk about something, shouldn't you know something about it?

In my estimation, the answer to all of those questions, Stu, is yes.

Yes.

And by the way, have you heard any,

maybe there are some, have you heard any Republicans, including Ron DeSantis, say that they don't have a right to to express their opinion?

Never.

Of course they do.

We're criticizing their opinion.

Their opinion's dumb.

They have a right to express it.

It's just stupid.

And he's doing to Ron DeSantis exactly what he's accusing Ron DeSantis of doing to Disney.

He's criticizing him for it.

Right.

He's not taking away Ron DeSantis' freedom of speech.

He's like, DeSantis didn't take away Disney's freedom of speech.

Hogan has a right to be able to express his, admittedly, on his own behalf, his admittedly uninformed opinion yeah but he has a right to express it I mean he doesn't know what he's talking about at all but he has a right to say the dumb thing he's saying that is that is your right as an American I suppose and framed in the question from Dan Abash on CNN is the don't say gay bill peep the people who call it that are already setting it up to be a lie you've already set it up to be something it's not.

It's not the don't say gay bill.

That's not what it is.

It has nothing to do with not saying the word gay.

And yet you cannot find a headline that will call it something else.

You cannot find a story that will call it anything else.

What I find fascinating about this, Pat, is they all say it's the don't say gay bill, right?

And what do you always notice about the don't say gay bill when it's in the headlines?

It's in quotes.

Who are they quoting?

They're quoting the gay activists, I guess.

I guess we're marching and saying, gay, gay, gay, because they weren't going to be told by Florida not to say gay, even though Florida wasn't telling them not to say that.

They always say this.

They always say, well, look, it's just, here's the thing.

Critics call it the don't say gay.

What critics call it?

Where did it come from?

Where did this originate?

I went back to

trace back the history of this on Studos America the other night and went back to the very first tweet that called this bill the don't say gay bill.

And it was some

obscure organization in Florida that supposedly was about reading.

It was like, you know, one of these organizations that was saying

reading is fundamental, Pat.

And they wanted to make sure.

But they didn't read the bill, obviously.

Of course they didn't read the bill.

And also, it seems like they really care about reading, but only books about being gay when we're being read by children.

Like, they don't care about, you know, a normal

everyday classic.

They only care about books that will tell you your kids that they can be gay or change genders or whatever else the thing of the day is, which is fascinating.

And it's some bizarre organization.

It's been promoted heavily by Chason Buttigej, the husband of our wonderful labor secretary.

Right.

The first don't say gay tweet goes back to this, there's Equality Florida, jumped on the bandwagon very early.

And another one called the Florida Freedom to Read was the very first one that I could find that talked about this bill in that context.

And it seems like, and this is just bizarre, but like, All on the same day, Pat, out of nowhere, all of these organizations on the same exact day all started calling it the same thing.

It's so weird that the Rainbow Democrats, the Equality Democrats, the Florida Right to Read Foundation or whatever the heck it is, all these organizations, all these random Twitter accounts, all on the same day, all started calling it the same thing.

Interesting.

Isn't it fascinating?

It's almost as if they coordinated.

I'm just going to...

I'm going to go out there and say this.

That's quite a limb to go out on.

I know.

And then the media picked it it up immediately.

Hook Leiden Sinker just called it the Don't Say Gay bill, as we know.

I mean, you know, the details, I'm sure you've been over it a million times on Pat Gray Unleashed, and we've talked about it here, but it does not stop you from saying gay.

It does not even stop fourth grade teachers from talking,

to putting in their curriculum stories about gay and gender transition.

All it does.

All it does is prevent you from having explicit sexual conversations with kindergartner through third graders.

And if it's fourth grade and above, it needs to be age appropriate.

So if you're opposing this bill, you are outwardly arguing for an inappropriate conversation with children.

Yeah.

Because if it's appropriate, it's okay with the bill.

So the lies have been fast and furious from its inception.

As you mentioned, the don't say gay thing started right away.

The other thing that they started lying about was that teachers then couldn't talk about their gay partners.

They couldn't even bring them up.

I can't even, I can't, I'm scared to death now that I can't even mention my life partner.

No,

you can mention your life partner.

Nothing in this bill prevents you from doing that.

In fact, it specifically says.

Yeah, they went back and put that in the bill so that nobody could claim that.

And they still claim it.

They still say it.

They still say it.

You look at the fact checks on the bill and they're like, well, originally it was put in there.

And some critics believed that, for example, like a teacher saying, they asked some kids asked the teacher, what did you do this weekend?

And they say, Oh, I was with my, you know, a woman says, Oh, I was with my wife, and we went to the park.

They could get fired.

And, like, the Republicans are like, That's not what we're saying.

All right, let's put it in there specifically to make sure, you know, nobody has that idea.

You can talk about kayaking with your partner if you want to.

And again, even conversations, this is what, I mean, I think you could really make an argument that this bill does not do what Republicans think it does.

It does not prevent a conversation about

sexuality or gender with second graders.

It does not prevent that.

The only thing it does is prevent it from being in the planned curriculum.

So they could still have an off-the-cuff conversation about kayaking that leads to, by the way, your gender could change at any moment, kids.

And that's totally allowed in the bill.

That's still allowed in Florida.

Amazing.

But it just can't be part of the planned curriculum.

That is it.

And it can be part of the planned curriculum with fourth graders.

And yes,

Disney's opposed to it.

Disney's opposed to it.

In fact, it's

the goal of their company, not to make good Star Wars movies, not to make Space Mountain, not to embrace Mickey Mouse.

Just make a lot of money.

Yep.

That's not even the goal.

Apparently.

Nope.

Not to make kids happy.

Right.

But to overturn this law in Florida.

That's the goal of their company, according to the company.

So obviously, DeSantis, Ron DeSantis, fighting against that,

and Larry Hogan from Maryland slamming him for it when he hasn't even read the bill, which leads you to believe Larry Hogan is going to run for president.

You hit on it, Pat.

I mean, he wants to run for president.

That's incredible to me.

He can be the sensible Republican who comes out, who can win over Democratic voters and moderate voters in the primary and have some path.

Now, this path.

Does anybody even know who he is?

No, outside of Maryland.

I will say

he gets on MSNBC a lot.

He gets on NBC a lot.

He gets on CNN.

He talks, you know, he's the acceptable Republican to the left because he disagrees with Republicans all the time.

Yeah.

They like him like they like Mitt Romney.

Yeah.

Yes.

He is among the most popular governors in America, too, which is, you know, again, impressive for a Republican in Maryland.

It's his approval rating there.

70%.

No.

70% in Maryland.

Wow.

Now, that is not the highest approval rating.

It's interesting.

The most popular governors in America are, one, all Republicans, and two, all in deep blue states.

That's a weird phenomenon.

Yeah.

But

it's not the first time.

This isn't the first year that's happened.

No, Hogan's been very popular.

It's been ongoing for a while.

Yeah, Hogan.

Look, there's an argument to be made, right, for there's a political, I'm not saying that I would support this argument, but there's a political argument to be made that Larry Hogan is a candidate that you might want.

He's a guy who can win in blue states.

He can win over moderate voters, probably.

And if you have conservatives who are faced with a choice between Larry Hogan and Joe Biden, the overwhelming majority of them are going to go with Hogan because for the love of heaven, please don't present me with that choice.

Don't do that to me.

Republican voters don't want this.

And because we have a primary system in this country, there's no path for Larry Hogan, I don't think.

I don't think, I mean, his best opportunity would be as a real contrast to someone like Donald Trump.

He sees, though, that Ronda Sandis might be his competition, so he's going to try to attack him early and get out ahead of that.

The three most popular governors in America, number three is Larry Hogan, 70%.

Number two, Charlie Baker, Republican, Massachusetts, 72%.

Number one,

have you even...

Do you have any guesses?

And I gave you an opening here, but I don't think I would have ever guessed.

I don't.

I know it's a blue state.

Yes, I will give you it.

It's a state that also really loves Bernie Sanders quite a bit.

Wow, really?

Is it Vermont?

I was going to say Vermont.

Vermont?

I couldn't tell you who.

Right.

Exactly.

A Republican, Phil Scott, is the Republican.

Of course, Phil Scott.

Phil Scott.

That's right.

An approval rating

of 79%.

Oh, my God.

Let me give you the breakdown of Phil Scott.

This is wild.

Phil Scott's approval rating,

overall,

79%.

Yeah.

Among Republicans,

75%.

Among Independents,

75%.

Among Democrats,

88%.

It has to be higher, right?

A Republican in Vermont has an 88% approval rating among Democrats.

Wow.

That is wild.

Wow.

That is wild.

But this is the whole,

let me give you the, this is amazing.

We'll do that in just one minute yeah yeah let's do it hang on one minute

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 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.

Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief.

Relief, 8004RELIFE or ReliefFactor.com.

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

You know, when you go to a

governor's approval rating like Phil Scott in Vermont, and you see that Republicans and Independents have a 75% approval rating of the guy.

The rank and file Republicans must not be like Republicans in Texas, right?

The Republicans in Vermont don't expect the same things out of their governor as Republicans in Texas do.

Understandable.

When you have Bernie Sanders, who's like a 90% approval rating in Vermont.

And when 88% of Democrats approve of a Republican, yeah, something's wrong there.

Yeah, it really is amazing.

So this is the list, highest approval rating for governors across the country.

Number one, Phil Scott, 79% overall.

He's from Vermont.

Number two, Republican Charlie Baker, Massachusetts, 72%.

Number three, Larry Hogan, Republican, Maryland, 70%.

Number four, Republican Chris Sununu, New Hampshire, 67%.

Number five, Mark Gordon, Republican Wyoming, 66%.

Now, there's a real Republican state, though,

right?

That's a red state.

Number seven, Jim Justice, Republican, West Virginia, 65%.

Okay.

We finally get to our first Democrat, Ned Lamont, Democrat Connecticut, 64%, which shows you how far Connecticut has gone.

Lamont is the guy who lost to Joe Lieberman.

Oh, yeah.

He beat him in the primary.

Then Lieberman ran as an independent and beat him for the Senate back in the day.

I can't remember what year that was now.

It was a while ago.

Lamont has now come back, become the governor, and is at 64%.

Then you got Kay Ivey, Republican Alabama, 62%.

Mike DeWine, Republican Ohio, 62%.

Spencer Cox, Republican Utah, 62%.

Doug Bergham, Republican North Dakota, 60%.

Greg Giamforte, Republican Montana, 59%.

And then Dan McKee,

Democrat from Rhode Island, 59%.

So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

Only two of the top 13 are Democrats.

Where is Greg Abbott of Texas?

Greg Abbott of Texas.

Yeah, 50% approval.

He's down in the lower third.

Okay.

That's partly because of mandates that have been taken off in time for a lot of people's liking.

What about Ron DeSantis?

Yeah, that's one I think.

I think that you listen to Ron DeSantis.

He obviously gets lots of praise from conservative media, and he is popular.

He's going, I mean, he's the heavy, heavy favorite to win in Florida reelection this year.

His approval rating is only 52%, though.

So he's in the bottom third as well as far as approval rating goes.

Now, that's, I think, partially a function of him becoming, his rise to national prominence leads the average Democrat who would normally approve of him to have a more skeptical view because of these big issues, you know, the don't say gay bill, right?

That affects a Democratic voter who would normally approve.

A guy like Phil Scott is not in Vermont, the Republican voter or the Democratic voter who normally, if Phil Scott was some big national figure, would probably oppose a Republican just off of a party identification

if he was in the news every day.

But instead, he's not in the news every day.

And he's, those people who think he's doing a good job kind of just go along with it.

They think, oh, all right, he's a Republican, but who cares?

You're able to kind of, the lower your national profile, the more you can kind of squeeze into these high approval ratings.

And you notice the people towards the top are all like that.

I mean, you know, with the only real exception being Larry Hogan, who has a moderate profile because he gets on MSNBC all the time.

But in his state, that probably helps him.

That's not going to help him if he runs for president, though.

In the Republican Party, that will not help.

It's Pat and Stu, Pat Gray, Stubergear, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727, B-E-C-K.

Glenn will be back tomorrow.

Bright and early, right here.

Stu, have you tried the Kexie Cookie Spring Line yet?

I have not yet.

You haven't?

No.

Really?

I don't think I have.

Have I not brought that in with the cherry almond?

Oh, yes, I have a cherry almond one here.

The mint chocolate chip.

Oh, yeah.

No, I have tried these.

Then there's a sugar lemon cookie with the lemon.

Okay, I've tried all this.

Oh, my God.

They're delicious, as usual.

It's weird because, you know, my wife has been making the chocolate chip cookies forever.

And so when she started doing this, I thought there's no way I'll ever like anything more than the chocolate chip cookie.

And then she did the Texas sheet cake.

And I thought, okay, that's my favorite cookie of all time.

And then she did the hot chocolate cookie.

Oh, yeah.

Then that was

my favorite of all time.

And now I think it's the sugar lemon cookie, which is now my new favorite cookie of all time.

I really like the mint chocolate chip one.

I thought that was good.

That's really good, too.

I like it.

I really, really like it.

I'm a sucker for mint chocolate chip, and that's a really good one.

But if you want to get the best cookie on earth, kexy.com.

Agreed.

Endorsed.

Yes.

Now, we were talking a little bit about Disney earlier, and

we didn't get to Disney's hypocrisy, which is fascinating to me because they're fighting so hard against this Florida bill, this don't say gay bill,

while they're trying to expand their operations in at least 10 explicitly anti-gay countries and regions.

It's fascinating, isn't it?

It is.

Where's the disconnect here?

I don't know.

How can you be that self-unaware of, as a company, that, okay, we're going to fight as hard as we can against this particular bill,

but in countries where they actually have the death penalty for homosexual activity, we're going to expand into, we're going to make sure Disney Plus gets deeper embedded into those countries.

Isn't that weird?

I can't even believe it.

And the employees don't seem to have any problem with that.

No, where are the protests about that?

No, you can't go into Yemen.

Why aren't they out picketing today?

Why didn't they do a big employee walkout over that?

It's really...

Is it possible you are allowed to say gay in Yemen, but you can't be gay?

Okay, so maybe that's their problem.

They just want the word to be able to be spoken, and they don't realize that the bill does nothing of the sort.

It does not prevent you from saying the word gay.

Right.

It's interesting to see these people walking around just chanting gay.

Somebody put up a

billboard that's just said gay a bunch of times.

And like, I just

guys, you don't.

That's powerful.

That's not what the bill does.

And I think they know this, but it is embarrassing to see the media embrace that sort of framing of it.

It is.

And it's even worse that Disney is trying to pull this while going into these countries where gays can be executed just for admitting they're gay.

Just for the act?

Yeah.

Yes.

So it's Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Yemen, and the region of Palestine.

Now, in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, you can get the death penalty for being gay.

But like you said, Stu, I think you can say the word gay.

You could utter all you want.

You just can't.

Maybe this makes total sense.

Right.

And I will say, Pat, you did mention, I think, by mistake, that there were 10 countries they were expanding into.

It's nine.

Palestine's not a country.

Just to point out the point that you have.

You did point out the reading

of Palestine, which is

true.

They have to, I guess.

No, it's only nine, we swear.

It's fascinating to see this happen because

there is that weird, this has always been part of the left.

They've always wanted to ignore what

particularly Muslim countries do in these cases when it comes to abortion or when it comes to

when it comes to gay rights, when it comes to trans rights.

What do you think the trans rights look like in Saudi Arabia?

Pretty positive?

I think they're probably really solid.

Yeah.

When you're in Oman and you come out and you go to the Oman national swim team and you say, hey, I'm going to swim as a chick today.

How do you think they react to that?

I think they applaud it.

They do.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's probably why.

I love it.

They at least let you say it.

And we know that.

Like, why?

There's no consistency here.

There's no principle here.

This is just Disney thinking that it's U.S.

employees

and

a good chunk of their audience in the U.S.

and investors in the U.S.

want them to say these things.

You know, so they're saying them.

And it's in this particular case, it's the employees here in America.

Now, the employees here in America,

many of them, by the way, not all of them, as we're seeing, the reason why we know about all this stuff going on at Disney is because there's a lot of people who think this is insane that work at Disney.

So there are a lot of people who are looking at this and saying, you know, I came to Disney to entertain children, not to indoctrinate them.

So they are leaking this stuff to people like Chris Ruffo, who has been reporting on it.

But those employees who are very vocal have come out and they have basically said they're going to leave and the company is going to shut down if they don't address these issues.

And this is a terrible way to run your company.

You know, Coinbase is the one who has this right.

Coinbase has come out and they said, look, we are a cryptocurrency company.

When issues pop up in the public debate that deal with cryptocurrency, we may comment on them.

Other than that, zip it.

They're not going to comment on Leah Thomas.

No.

No way.

They have no

support her effort to swim against women.

Biological women.

They are not going to get involved in that issue.

And they're going to say to their employees, hey, guys, you want to go home and spend your evenings protesting Leah Thomas or supporting Leah Thomas.

All you want, be my guest.

Don't bring it to work.

Fantastic.

This is a

workplace.

Now, Spotify kind of did that.

Sort of, right?

With

Joe Rogan.

I mean, they sort of stood behind him, but then kind of hedged a little bit.

Yeah, yeah.

I still think there's a chance.

I mean, again, Rogan says the wrong thing, the wrong video pops up from the mystery.

I still think there's a good chance Spotify overturns all that.

I was mildly surprised, though, that they hung in there.

I think it's the right thing.

It is the right thing.

And people are like, you know, today we have this news that Elon Musk, who has 9.2% of Twitter, he owns now.

And can you believe that's the biggest share of of any individual holder?

Yeah, biggest share.

Amazing.

Now, that's what he had when he filed this disclosure.

We don't know what he has now.

He may have twice that by now.

We don't even know.

But he is, as the news today, this morning breaking, is

that he is going to be appointed to the board of directors of Twitter, which is interesting.

And I think, I think, a really good influence on Twitter.

I mean, Elon Musk

believes in free speech.

I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, but he believes in free speech.

And I think this is great.

But the other thing is they act as if this is so complicated.

How do you deal with this if you're a social media company?

How can you handle all this?

What should you be censoring?

What shouldn't you censor?

It's like, you know what you should do is be substack.

Substack is doing this already.

They are a company that deals with all sorts of controversial issues and their stance is like Coinbase's.

Hey, in fact, theirs is a little bit even more aggressive than Coinbase.

Coinbase is just saying, don't bring your outside stuff to work.

We're a workplace.

Talk about work at work.

That's That's what they do.

Substack is saying, hey, people have all different views.

We're not going to censor views.

You want to come here.

You want to write something.

If you can find an audience, great.

If you can't, whatever.

We're not going to tell you what you can and can't write.

And that's what they're saying.

They're saying free speech.

What's wrong with that?

Why can't you just adopt that?

That's great.

That's an easy one.

Yeah.

You know what?

They're not, you know, people who have been skeptical of some of the COVID treatments.

People who have all sorts of different views, they found a home at Substack, along with people like Barry Weiss, a mainstream New York Times journalist who thought the New York Times was kind of going crazy.

She's over at Substack and she's doing her stuff there.

Tons of, you know, people from

all these people that were, you know, from Andrew Sullivan to Matt Taibbi to

Barry Weiss have all gone over there and said, hey, we can find a place where we can do what we want

and we can get our voice out there without being censored by editors at the New York Times that have a place, you know, a way they want to go.

Also, not be censored by social media companies who might think my views are out of step with what's acceptable.

Let people decide for themselves.

And here's a company, Substack, that's already doing it.

You know, you don't need every company to be the Blaze.

I think it's great that there's companies like the Blaze out there that have a conservative viewpoint and bring that to you because we certainly need that out there.

I don't care that there's companies that are left-wing that are doing the same thing.

Those are great.

But you also need companies that are just like, I'll give you everything.

You guys make the choice.

I don't need every company I deal with to be outwardly conservative.

I just need them to not hate me.

Yeah.

And that's kind of what the conservative employees at Disney were saying.

Can we just be neutral on this?

Do you have to take a stand on every political issue?

Because that's not the way it used to be.

It seems like this is a fairly new thing where employees...

where the inmates are starting to run the asylum.

And some of the companies are letting them.

That's true.

And Disney, many companies have just kind of turned it over to the employees and said, yep, direct us.

I've always thought, Pat, that

if I get a job somewhere, my job is to work for the company, to make the company better.

It does seem though.

To make the customers happier.

Okay.

Like that is your goal.

What a concept.

That is what you're supposed to do every day.

You wake up and you go in there and you do the best job for the company.

And in return for that, they pay you so that you can go and pay your bills and make sure your kids have food on the table and make sure you have health insurance and make sure that you can go through life and maybe a little extra cash to to take them on vacation or buy nice christmas presents or whatever the case may be like there work is supposed to be a part of your life it's not all of your life right you don't need your company to address every political issue you might care about I mean, conservatives will go crazy in this stance.

And we were talking about the don't say gay bill with teachers, Pat.

Think about this for a second what the left is asking for and what they have by the way even in florida is a situation where you can come in and say hey uh you know mrs smith what did you do this weekend oh well i was out with my wife and we went kayaking uh

why they're always kayaking this this particular lesbian couple just huge kayakers it's huge it's huge in the lgbt kkya two plus community yes they love to kayak i've heard they're thinking about adding a k because because there's so many kayakers.

That's what I've heard.

Yeah.

And the K will be for kayaking.

So

Mrs.

Smith and her partner went kayaking, and they want to be able to say, hey, we had a wonderful evening we had a

life partner or just a transitional partner?

I think is there a

difference?

What's a transitional partner?

That's just somebody that is taking up space with you in between getting

finding somebody who just dumped you and your life partner.

So it's a hookup.

Yeah.

Okay.

So no, I think, I think, you know what?

I think Mrs.

Smith and

she's got it's a hookup.

I think it's a hookup.

Okay.

I think they met kayaking.

Okay.

They were kayaking down some rapids.

Yeah.

And

they both hit the same rough part.

Their boats overturned.

They came to the side of the river and then they had a nice picnic and they built a fire.

Okay.

And they fell in love.

Wow, that's beautiful.

And I don't know if it's going to last, to be honest with you.

Yeah.

Mrs.

Smith seems to have eyes for some other woman that she met on

Tinder or wherever else you would meet.

I don't know.

If we were talking about Mr.

Smith, I could make a grinder joke, but I don't know.

I'm not exactly sure.

So

we, so they have this wonderful thing going on, and she wants to be able to tell this story.

Hey, I'm kayaking down this river.

We both flip over.

We go to the side, and my lovely partner is there.

We meet up, we roast marshmallows.

It's a wonderful experience.

And they want to tell that story.

And even in Florida,

two second graders, they still can.

Okay.

So that's how influential the don't say gay bill is.

However, if that same teacher, let's say Mrs.

Jones, were to say, hey, I was kayaking,

kayaking down a river, I crashed,

I ran into another boat.

We went to the side.

It was a man.

And we roasted marshmallows.

We fell in love.

We got married.

And then, you know what we did with our weekend this weekend after kayaking?

What?

We went to church.

Oh, wow.

And they told us about the gospel.

Let me tell you what they taught us.

That person cannot tell.

The Lord and Savior cannot tell the story of their weekend.

That's right.

That person cannot articulate.

Thank goodness.

Absolutely has no.

So these Christian teachers who have been spending their entire lives avoiding talking about the things most important to them in school because you've told them they're not allowed to.

Those people can't tell the stories, but we have to make sure that gay people can tell all their stories about all their kayaking trips.

It's amazing.

It's really amazing.

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

Don't say kayak.

It's a new bill.

It's coming out soon.

Our country is facing a very significant slowdown as we move closer to risk of recession.

Thanks to the Biden administration, things are going really, really well there.

We're getting acquainted closely with inflation.

Things we haven't seen since the 70s.

Everything costs more lately, and it's not going to get better anytime soon.

You know these rates are going up.

Even if you're in a healthy financial position, you need to maybe make a 10-minute phone call to learn more about custom loans that could fit your budget better.

the attention that they're looking for?

No.

I think you'd like this.

I got to get you one for your laptop.

Yeah.

On the outside, it just got printed on there.

It looks like a little my name is sticker, and it says a property of Hunter Biden.

So now, whenever you leave your laptop around a coffee shop for a second, people are going to think Hunter Biden left yet another laptop.

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

This is the Glenn Back Program

Today, featuring Pat and Stu, Glenn, will be back.

Tomorrow,

a Democratic strategist speak out about the upcoming midterm elections.

Might surprise you what they had to say.

We'll get into that in one minute.

Sometimes the people that we send out to defend freedom, they don't come back.

And sometimes when they do, they come back forever different from the person they were before.

As patriotic Americans, it is not merely our privilege to enjoy freedom, it is our duty to uphold those who fight for it.

Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families.

When a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind,

Tunnels to Towers

pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring their family to stability.

For catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.

Such a great organization.

And now through Operation Homebase, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.

Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the line for our country and our communities, need your help.

Help these heroes and their families.

Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.

So, Joe Biden's approval rating, not getting any better.

In fact,

his approval rating, the combined real clear politics average, now shows him at 41%.

That's incredibly low,

especially for this, at this point of his presidency, for the average of all the polls that Real Clear Politics features.

41 you are way underwater 53.8 percent so almost 54 percent disapprove and i guess the rest are i don't know they're a bunch of jeffies i don't know

so uh

while biden tries to pin all of his problems on putin or the pandemic or donald trump I don't think the American people are buying it.

And there are a bunch of Democrat strategists who spoke to the Hill

because we're only seven months away from the November midterms now.

And some of them are, well, all of them are really concerned that the Democrats are going to get a bloodbath.

One of them said,

we're going to be slaughtered in November.

That's quite an admission from a Democratic strategist.

No name attached to that one?

I said no.

No, no, right.

Though this is clearly what they believe.

I mean,

this is what's going on behind the scenes.

They know they're in real trouble.

I keep saying, you cannot overestimate the chances that the Republicans will blow this somehow.

You can't.

It's just,

it should be the easiest win in the history of elections.

It should.

Will they screw this up?

They might.

It's very possible.

So I would, you know, I could see.

We've seen it too many times.

Yeah.

I could really see a situation where they maybe win the House and then blow the Senate somehow.

Certainly possible.

And that would be be a big one because of potential Supreme Court nominees and such.

That would be a big one.

It would still allow them to block a lot of the stuff in the House, but the Supreme Court nominees that would not prevent them.

We'll see.

We're going to go through

an election preview of sorts for the first time this week, I think, on Studios America because I kind of set the stage as to where we are, what it looks like, and what is in the future.

What do you think the reasoning is for why they believe it's going to be an electoral bloodbath in 2022?

I think there's several factors.

One is inflation, two, gas prices,

the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

I mean, pretty much everything.

As one of the strategists put it,

he's the one who's unnamed.

He said, it's bad.

You have an energy crisis that's paralyzing.

And inflation is in a 40-year high.

And we're heading into a recession.

The problem is simple: the American people have lost confidence in Joe Biden.

Everyone needs to come to terms with the reality that we're going to get slaughtered in November.

That's a fact.

Biden's polling has gotten worse, not better.

It's indicative of the fact that people have lost confidence in his leadership.

There's nothing they're going to be able to do.

That's a big statement.

That is a big statement.

I think part of it, too, is these are issues that, one, smack you in the face.

And two, you can't spin your way out of.

You can't spin your way out of inflation.

He's been trying to do that.

He's been trying to blame it on everybody under the sun except him.

Yeah, you just can't do it, though.

It doesn't work.

You can't say, hey, those gas prices are somebody else's fault.

You know, I filled up my car today, $70 to fill up my car.

Now, I don't have an SUV.

I have a sedan.

Yeah.

$70.

My last two fill-ups have been $93 and $90.

$93 and $90.

And it's just a four-door sedan.

It's incredible.

Yeah.

It's incredible.

And, you know, and people in California now are like, oh, man, what I would do to pay only $90 to fill up my tank right now.

That'd be incredible.

You know, it is.

And this is hitting everybody.

It doesn't just hit conservatives.

It hits everybody.

And it's hard to deny when, number one, the prices were going up before Putin.

Number two, you have a role in the Putin situation.

I mean, like,

your actions taken beforehand did not help.

The Afghanistan thing did not help.

Your statement that a minor incursion might not be a big deal did not help.

You know, did you stop?

You got all your, you're bragging about all your intelligence, and you were right on them invading.

What did you do with that information?

Did it work?

What you chose to do didn't do anything that was positive.

And you couldn't keep that straight with the rest of your administration either because everybody else was calling it a deterrent.

A dirt, yep.

And then he's saying it was absolutely, nobody thought it was a deterrent.

Just embarrassing.

Everybody around you said it was.

So people see these prices go up and they see the answer to this, which is, I don't know, go buy a $70,000 electric car or something.

Now, I've recently, as I mentioned, Pat,

I have,

there's been some supply chain issues.

I don't know if you've noticed this.

No, hi.

I ordered a car now seven months ago plus and still do not have seven months.

Seven months.

Wow.

And I'm a couple weeks away from my month anniversary uh and i actually just i actually did get contacted by the dealership recently and they said hey what if we order your car without a bunch of the features you wanted how do you feel about that uh and i was like no honestly at this point

maybe put it in without some of the features and let's see what happens and i at least i would have something to as an interim yeah situation i at this point i don't know what to do but i was looking around at a bunch of different things and uh i was looking at one

you know, and I've talked about this before.

Some of these electric cars are really cool.

Like, I'm not against electric cars.

No, me neither.

As we talked about, a lot of people, especially on the conservative side these days, seem to like Elon Musk quite a bit, which is an interesting transition.

What's happened to his, he was the darling of the left for a zillion years.

And now all of a sudden, the left hates him, and he's a darling of the right.

I don't know how this happens.

So into climate change, he's trying to find us a whole nother planet.

Yeah.

No, a planet to escape climate change.

He's building spaceships to escape climate change, but he's a right-wing figure all of a sudden.

Anyway, so he builds Teslas, which are really great cars, and they're really,

really fast.

And some of these other cars are really fast as well.

I was looking at one of them, and

the,

first of all, if you want to have a rational relationship with this car, you have to put in an industrial electrical outlet.

you know, like the, or like the one you have for your washer and dryer.

You need another one of those to even have a chance to make this sensible.

If you do that, you can charge it overnight.

So eight to 10 hours of charge.

Car gets 200 miles.

Yeah.

About 200 miles per charge for a full charge for me.

Okay.

If you plug it in your normal outlet, it takes three days, three days to charge.

There are three fast chargers, three, in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Three.

And how fast are they?

They are fast if you're near one.

But again, I don't live within a half an hour of any of these things.

They're all at the fringes of town.

So if you were driving to, let's say, Austin, you might stop on your way and

you can fill up, I think, about 20 to 30 minutes.

That's not bad.

Which is not bad.

I mean, again, you know, you stop at a gas station.

It's going to be five minutes, but you probably walk in.

It's not terrible.

You can live with 20 to 30 minutes as long as that's constantly improving.

I mean, you don't want it to get any longer than that.

Yeah, but two hours or 10 hours.

Completely unacceptable to me, at least.

Yeah.

And if you plug, let's just say you plug it in, if you plugged it in in your outlet at home and you, when you got home at, you know, seven o'clock at night and you took it out at seven o'clock in the morning when you leave for work and it could charge all the way up, you might say, I can deal with that for most of the time, right?

Like that's not bad.

But not only are you paying $70,000 for an electric car, I think the average is $55,000.

There are some.

Like the Nissan Leaf is cheaper than that.

Obviously, a lot of the Teslas are more.

The Porsche Tycons, a lot more.

But you can go and you can find a car that is pretty, you know, that'll cost a lot of money with these things but even if you get an isan leaf if you want it to be rational to be able to charge it you have to spend a couple thousand dollars putting in a faster charger in your garage so how just the extra charger you put in your garage is going to wipe out the increased gas prices over an entire year at least yeah this is it's irrational it is and what people see is wait a minute my gas prices have been going up my electric electricity prices are going up and the only thing i ever hear from these guys is not let's let's expand production.

Let's not make it, you know, let's not get off of Russian oil and Iranian oil and Saudi Arabian oil.

Let's just all go green and spend three times as much on electricity and on the vehicle itself.

Well,

this is not ever, no one, this is a now problem.

This is not a 2050 problem.

It is a now problem.

And people are getting killed right now on this, and you can't spin your way out of it.

And I think all this also applies to things like the gender stuff, the CRT stuff, the, you know, the trying to talk about sex with your second graders at school.

All this smacks people across the face.

It's not a nuanced issue.

Let me make you an argument as to why lowering the minimum wage would make sense economically.

It's not that argument.

Conservatives a lot of times get bogged down in that type of argument, which is, I think, really important.

but also difficult to win over voters easily.

You know, the minimum wage is a very popular issue because the emotion behind it is, of course, people who are hardworking, everyday people trying to make their way, working

at a role that might not be paying it a lot, of course they should get more money.

That would be great.

And that's an easy emotional argument.

The economic argument is much more complicated and winds up affecting the economy in a bunch of different ways, which is why the conservative position is correct.

But with Leah Thomas, there's no need to argue those things.

What is a woman?

Do I need to answer that?

If you don't freaking know what a woman is, why are we even talking to you?

And that is not what just conservatives are saying right now.

I think a lot of moderate voters, I think even some Democratic voters are saying, wait a minute.

I don't want people to hate others.

I don't want people to be discriminated against.

But you don't know what a woman is?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Ridiculous.

I think that's a big thing right now.

I think moderate Democratic voters, people who are, you know, we talked about Larry Hogan earlier, the Larry Hogan Republicans who might not consider normally a guy who's really conservative are saying, wait a minute, I can't, we can't be that.

We can't say that a guy standing there in a woman's bathing suit with his junk hanging out is a good female swimmer.

Can we be honest here?

We all see this, right?

And when do we start throwing women under the bus?

When is it okay that you don't consider their feelings or their skill set or the fact that they've been working on this their entire lives to get to where they are in swimming or skiing or we've also got the bicycling thing that's been up lately.

And we don't even care about any of that.

I mean, Title IX, when it was passed in, what, 72,

it changed college sports forever.

There were a lot of men's sports that were eliminated so that you could accommodate women in colleges.

And so things like soccer went out the window, lacrosse and hockey and a bunch of sports that men played at these universities went right out the window.

And now

we're throwing the women out the window so that you've got 0.7% of the population that can compete against them.

It doesn't make any sense to a lot of people, to most people, I hope.

I hope we're still at the point where common sense prevails uh on this and you know that there are biological differences between men and women and if you got a biological man claiming to be a woman he shouldn't he shouldn't be competing against biological women uh hopefully we're smart enough still as a society to to understand that more coming up one minute

Glenn will be back tomorrow.

He's recovering from a Hunter-Biden bender.

He was, yeah, he was him and Hunter.

Okay.

He traveled to China.

Uh-huh.

Did a little stop over in Ukraine.

Met some former business associates.

Did some blow?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Lots of blow.

They're bringing what.

Some strippers?

Oh, certainly some strippers.

You got to have that.

In a hunter event, you got to have it.

And he won't tell you this when he comes back.

He won't describe that.

He'll say he was doing something with his family.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Sure.

But you know the truth now.

Yeah.

And you can hold him to that by tweeting about it often.

Yeah, don't listen to his nonsense about why he wasn't here tonight.

Well, I mean, is it a coincidence that all of a sudden Hunter Biden's also an artist?

Glenn Beck and Hunter Biden, yeah, the twin artists of the world, all of a sudden, they're both paint, quote-unquote painting all the time.

And I don't know if you've noticed that it's a pretty corrupt business, Pat, where you can just demand hundreds of thousands of dollars for some painting from a guy who

has no experience like Hunter Biden, no talent like Hunter Biden.

And, you know, some of Glenn's paintings are pretty cool, I have to admit, but that's probably the drugs.

So anyway, you can...

Have you seen Nostradamus' predictions for this year and next?

No.

Chilling.

Is he still around to make predictions yearly?

He's not.

But I think, you know, he's made so many that it takes people a while to get to these.

And that's what's happened here.

The Ukrainian conflict could be set to bring about a terrifying great war next year if predictions from Nostradamus are to be believed.

So he predicted the Ukrainian war or we're just

a bunch.

No, he's predicting a great war next year

that maybe is brought on by this war, which he didn't foresee.

Okay.

That's awesome.

So it's powerful.

Yeah.

You know that from the get-go.

It's powerful.

So

these have been released.

These were released over 450 years ago.

And he's been credited with predicting the rise of Hitler, which is nonsense because he said it was going to be a guy named Histler.

I completely got that wrong.

That's a different person.

Totally different.

Everybody gives him credit for Hisler.

That's not.

That wasn't the guy.

Right.

Totally different guy.

If it was Hisler, people would have been like, oh, don't vote that guy into office.

Right.

Right.

You know, and then they saw Hitler.

He's safe.

Yeah.

We're safe.

Don't dramatist.

It's Hitler.

Totally different guy.

The shooting of JFK, he foresaw.

9-11, supposedly, he foresaw.

In 2022.

By the way, I'm going to go ahead and limit and doubt that any of that is true.

Oh, are you really?

Yes.

Yeah.

What do you mean he foresaw 9-11?

Foresaw it.

Like, by how he wrote it down in a quad train.

He said, hey, there's going to be planes.

If he foresaw the plane, I'd be impressed.

But he's going to say the planes are going to be hijacked by Muslims that are going to crash into the World Trade Center.

This might be fun sometimes to see the actual quadrain that supposedly predicted the 9-11 attacks.

I'd love to see that.

But he also apparently predicted a host of terrifying eventualities, including an asteroid strike for this year,

inflation, tell me that's not accurate.

And starvation, in addition to AI robots taking over the earth.

So all that we have to look forward to, I guess, this year.

His predictions for next year are even worse.

A new great war has been touted for that, for next year.

This could be seen to allude to a larger World War III conflict stemming from the troubles in Ukraine right now.

It could be seen as that.

Not necessarily, but that's what I love about all of his squad trains, all of his predictions.

They could be seen to be accurate.

I've tracked down the truth about the 9-11 prediction here as you've been talking.

Okay.

It's fun.

Yeah.

It's fun.

We'll take you through that here in just a second.

The prediction of 9-11 from Nostradamus.

The Glenn Back program.

When looking back at the world of cyber safety in 2021, you look back and you see a big year for data breaches from the LinkedIn public information scrape of more than 700 million users, none of which mine because I refuse to get a LinkedIn account.

That at 200 million

of records stolen by cyber criminals in the Strip Chat

webcam hack, which, of course, I do have a subscription there.

Obviously, it's a great service.

The importance of identity theft protection has never been clearer.

I've never heard of strip chat before.

Have you?

No.

No.

Well, I don't know.

That's not what this commercial is about.

It's about protecting yourself online.

888-727-BECK.

We were just talking about Nostradamus predictions because they're always so accurate.

I mean, he made thousands of predictions, and you almost have to kind of read things into what he might have been saying in order to make any of them

supposedly true and accurate.

Yes.

Like

the rise of Hitler, the shooting of JFK,

and the 9-11 attacks.

And Stu, you seem skeptical on the 9-11.

9-11 attacks.

I did.

And I have no reason to back that up.

No reason

to be skeptical other than my just general skepticism.

When people tell me they made predictions long ago about something in the future.

Well, 450 years ago, before

flight.

That's a pretty impressive.

Yeah.

So here is the

quatrain.

Did Did he specifically say planes will fly into the World Trade Center?

Here's what inspired this.

Two steel birds

will fall from the sky

on the metropolis.

The sky will burn at 45 degrees latitude.

Fire approaches.

It's close to New York.

Is it?

Okay.

It's at about 40 degrees latitude.

Well, he's completely wrong.

I didn't get it right.

Fire approaches the The great new city.

New city.

Ah.

Immediately, a huge, scattered flame leaps up.

Within months, rivers will flow with blood.

The undead will roam the earth for little time.

I don't know about that last part.

It seems like a zombie movie started at the end.

But was that a prediction of

The Walking Dead?

Yes, that was.

So we got everything right there.

Now,

that is the one that people point to and say, okay, that sounds like 9-11 quite a bit.

And it does.

I mean,

New York City, the metropolis, Easy, New City.

Steel birds.

Steel birds.

He wouldn't know what to call them.

Right?

Again, why he wouldn't.

I don't understand.

If he's this good at predicting things, why wouldn't he be able to predict

the word airplane?

I don't understand why this happened.

Yeah, he got close to Hitler.

You're right.

But you can't figure out airplane.

Okay.

Now, the problem with this is

it's not an actual writing of Nostradamus.

Ah,

okay, that is a problem.

It is a hybrid of real Nostradamus verse and fiction.

Whoever rewrote the

fiction was particularly sloppy.

Not only is it written in it isn't written in quadrain form, which is a problem.

Like, that was how he wrote.

Yeah, yeah.

But the phrase two steel birds is an obvious giveaway as steel, suitable for airplanes, wasn't invented until 1854,

200 years after Nostradamus died.

Now, there is.

So there's another one that came up that was in the city of God, there will be a great thunder.

Two brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress endures.

The great leader will succumb.

The third big war will begin when a big city is burning.

Nostradamus, 1654.

Well, he died in 1566.

So that's another dead giveaway.

That's not a real one.

There is a real one.

Him dying is a dead giveaway.

It is.

It literally is.

There is one that he wrote that says, earth-shaking flames from the world's center roar and make the earth around a new city quiver.

Now, can you just

that one, kind of?

That just means that something happened in New York, though.

And it doesn't even mean New York.

In fact, the experts say he was likely referring to some German city.

But it certainly wasn't like referring to New York.

Well, he wouldn't have known about even

this hemisphere, really.

This is so silly.

It's weird how people lock onto this stuff.

And you notice this, I think, a lot in politics, where people get this sort of religious,

and we see it with the gender stuff, I think, right now.

People are religiously dedicated to the explanation that men can turn into women.

And if you look at it, really is a fundamentalist religion at this point, where

if someone disagrees, you

shun them.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

You must agree with every part of it.

If you diverge at all, if you're J.K.

Rowling,

Rowling, by the way, and you turn into a person who just is like, hey, you know, I think actually women are women.

I'm totally with you on everything else, but like, this is a little crazy.

You are an apostate.

And it's amazing that she has been torn apart the way she has because she didn't really say anything except, you you know what a woman is.

Okay.

We, we all know what a biological woman is.

Can we be real about that?

It was that kind of thing.

So

and she continues to do it, which just shows you how many books she sold.

Yeah.

Because she has got the ultimate F you money.

Her and Elon Musk are just like, eh, eh.

You know what?

I don't care what you say.

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.

They don't care.

They roll right through it.

Yeah.

And you love that.

You love that attitude.

They just do not care what people say about them.

As much as she hacked me off because of what she said about harry potter after the fact i just thought that was you what did she say about harry potter that dumbledore was gay and oh okay all of that kind of stuff in this she's not a conservative right like this is she's a feminist a liberal feminist yeah she absolutely is and but her stance lately has really made me like her again because it's it's courageous and you can be courageous if you've sold 500 million books

it's pretty great.

Yeah, pretty great.

Yeah.

Can I bring up something I've been thinking about a little bit, Pat?

On the way conservatives react to people,

people and news stories.

I don't know what this is, but there's something that conservatives do.

And I don't know if the left does this.

I don't think they do, but I think conservatives do it often, which is if we can find someone who disagrees with us on 97% of stuff,

but agrees with us on 3% of stuff.

We embrace them wholeheartedly.

They are the greatest person of all time.

Yep.

Right?

Yes, every time.

J.K.

Rowling is

rallying or rolling.

I can't.

I think it's rolling.

Rowling.

J.K.

Rowling is a great example of this.

And so is Bill Maher.

Bill Maher is one.

And at least Maher is occasionally bounces off and has been doing this for a long time.

Let me give you my primetime example of this.

Two of them.

Number one,

Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie Irving is a guy who was like the head of the NBA's Black Lives Matter movement two months ago and then decided he didn't want to get the vaccine and now he's the biggest white hero in the world.

Another one, which is an older one.

But when he made that announcement, it was powerful.

It was powerful.

And there's no reason to not.

You can agree with Kyrie Irving

on his announcement there.

And I fully agree with him.

There shouldn't be vaccine mandates.

We've said this a thousand times, right?

But like to embrace this guy like he's a conservative icon is insanity.

It is.

The other one is Kanye West.

Kanye West was nothing but an insane person until he put a red hat on for two days.

And then all of a sudden, he's the most conservative guy of all time.

Have you just dead named Kanye West?

Oh, yeah.

What is he now?

Yay.

Oh, yay?

Yay, or ye?

I thought it was ye.

One of the two, but I don't know.

I've said yay because that's kind of how you say Kanye, right?

Yeah, that's you don't say Kanye.

No.

So I do, I do yay.

Again, like it's no, there's nothing wrong with like if someone disagrees with you and they come to your side on an issue, it's great to say, hey, we have some common ground here.

Nothing wrong with that.

But we also do the opposite, which is take someone, and I'll give you an example.

This is going to piss some people off, but I'm going to give the example anyway.

Uh-oh.

Christy Noam.

Christy Noam.

was the absolute hero of every conservative as of 18 months ago.

And she should have been.

She was leading the nation

with far fewer restrictions than Ron DeSantis had in his state.

Right.

Right.

I don't think she ever imposed sanctions.

None.

Which was different than Florida.

Right.

She did.

She was like, all right, you know, it's freedom.

This sucks, but we're just going to go with it.

Right.

And she's, here she is.

She's the governor of the state.

Now, months and months later, on this gender issue, there's a bill that goes through.

It passes through the North Dakota legislature or South Dakota legislature.

And she comes out and she says, look, I don't think I agree with you on the concept here.

I don't like this approach.

I'm going to veto it.

It was not a really egregious thing.

It wasn't even a disagreement on the issue.

It was a disagreement on the approach of one issue.

Right.

And

look, look, she might, let's just say, you know, she had an argument there.

You know, we talked to her about it at the time.

She made her case.

You might say she's wrong on this, right?

She might say she's wrong.

She's blew in on this issue.

Let's just say she did completely.

Even if she did completely, is it sane to embrace Kyrie Irving and Kanye West and J.K.

Rowling and every other liberal who decides all of a sudden they're going to be conservative on one tweet?

Elon Musk, for example, who is conservative probably on more than one thing at this point, but who was a left-wing icon as of two years ago and is now the most popular conservative in the world, supposedly.

And then we take someone like Christy Noam, who is a smart governor, who's

a female, who is.

she a female?

Do you know that from

what it is?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

She is, you know, she's good on camera.

She's good on television.

She knows what she's talking about.

And we're just going to throw her into the fires of conservative

purgatory forever.

Right.

Because

on one issue, she went slightly askew of the movement.

I don't understand why both of those things happen.

I'd understand one of them.

I'd understand, okay, we embrace everyone who agrees with us on one thing.

I'd understand we throw everyone into the fire if they disagree with us on one thing.

I don't understand both of those positions at the same time.

It does not make sense.

Yeah.

Yep.

Why do we do that?

I don't know.

And like, I, you know, like, you know,

Pat Toomey is a senator from Pennsylvania, who I think is.

Pretty darn good on most issues.

I disagree with him on gun control.

He's had some, I think, bad stances on that from time to time.

But generally speaking, it's done a good job.

And that's how I look at him.

He's generally speaking, been a good senator.

I have some issues with his.

I don't throw him into the fires of hell because he disagreed with me on one thing.

Why would we do that?

Yet we do it all the time.

All the time.

And that's different than like Mitt Romney, who can he's got a 55% rating.

uh from conservative review this is not a guy who occasionally disagrees with the right he does it all the time yeah you know uh uh susan collins has got like a 20% rating from Conservative Review.

Wow, 20%.

Something like 20%.

This is basically a Democrat who is sort of pseudo-Republican, occasionally votes the right way, but very rarely.

Those people are up for criticism.

And it's frustrating, especially when they come from conservative states where you start losing out on these big issues.

But

just tossing these people away because we disagree on one thing, I don't understand why it makes sense.

And it shows like, we wind up weakening ourselves.

This doesn't help us.

You know, I mean, I think it's great to go and say, hey, here's somebody on the left

who agrees with us on this one thing.

Let's look at this one thing.

We can praise them for this one thing.

But we don't do that.

We embrace them as if they cannot be questioned anymore.

Like,

it's like, it speaks of that

high school nerd sort of desperation to reach out to, oh, that that girl will talk to me.

What a miracle.

You know, I love them from now until the end of time because she actually looked my direction.

And that's how we act with liberals.

And with conservatives, it's like, oh my gosh, they showed up five minutes late to a meeting.

Screw them.

It's a weird combination of views.

Lord Glenbeck with Patton Stewart coming up.

All right, let me talk to you about American financing.

As everyday life becomes more expensive, it can be difficult to live on a fixed income, especially if you've retired.

It's important to do what you can to protect your finances.

If you are 62 or older, it's worth considering a reverse mortgage with American Financing.

You can access some of your home equity as cash to supplement your income.

You can also stop making monthly mortgage payments, which is always a big relief.

Keep in mind, you have to live in your home

as your primary residence, and you have to keep up with insurance and taxes to qualify.

These are all things that the salary-based mortgage consultants at American Financing can go over with you to help you make the best decision for you.

American Financing is America's home-for-home loans for over 20 years.

They've been helping people just like you save a ton of cash.

There's never any obligation, no upfront or hidden fees.

These people work for you, not the bank.

So, why not give them a call today?

They're great to deal with.

Just found this story about Drake who went to a Lakers Raptors basketball game and was wearing a $1.89 million Homer necklace at courtside.

Really?

Yeah, almost a $2 million necklace.

Who does that?

I don't know.

Somebody with a lot of money.

Yeah.

Did I tell you I saw Drake in concert once?

Oh, no.

Really?

This is one of the stranger.

Are you a Drake fan?

I am not.

I'm not a Drake fan.

I have a friend who seems to know everybody,

always knows the guy at the door of these places and is able to get us in everywhere.

And he got us into a, I was in Vegas.

It was like right before New Year's.

And he got us into a Drake concert bizarrely.

So, I mean, I don't know.

What are we doing?

Like, let's go.

I'm there with a couple of friends.

So we go into this Drake concert, and it's, you know, it's like 11 o'clock at night.

It's like starting open, you know, doors open at 9.

He's coming on at 11.

So we get there at 11 o'clock.

I'm like, yeah, we'll see a couple minutes of this and leave.

So

he's not there at 11.

He's not there at 12 either.

He's not there at 1.

Now at 1 a.m.

Wow, we're like, what is happening?

Like, wait, is this guy actually coming to the show?

Like, is it, what is this?

Did they just put his name on the announcements or anything?

No.

No.

They just put his name on a poster and then he's just never going to show and everyone paid for these tickets and he's never going to show.

So at about 1.15, my friend goes on Twitter and sees a picture of Drake doing a concert in Los Angeles.

I'm in Las Vegas.

He's supposed to be in Las Vegas two hours ago.

He's doing a show in Los Angeles.

And so it gets later and later.

I've got a flight in the morning.

I'm like, I got to get out.

I'm like dying.

I'm like, but I have to see, is this guy actually going to show up?

The guy walks on on stage at 3.30 in the morning.

3.30 in the morning, he shows up.

That is incredible.

And then so that's what, four and a half hours late?

He's supposed to be there.

Five and a half hours late.

It's supposed to start at 11.

Five and a half hours late, he shows up.

And he starts his first song.

Of course, I've never heard it because I don't know any of his songs.

And so once we confirmed he showed up, I was so concerned about Drake's well-being.

Then, of course, we left immediately.

But that's, that's,

you know, I guess when you can do that and you can get paid for two separate concerts at the same time, then you can wear two million-dollar necklaces.

Apparently, that's how you roll.

This is.
