Today's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenback Program

888-727.

B-E-C-K, the number to call.

Michael Avenatti Avenatti in the news again.

Such a class act.

Don't you love the guy?

He's truly awesome.

Richard Branson trying to beat Jeff Bezos into space.

And of course,

Joe Biden kind of takes credit for the Osama bin Laden thing.

We'll get to all of that in a lot more in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

Since the pandemic started, 20% of homeowners have refinanced their homes.

20%.

It's a smart decision.

If you did it, you probably saved yourself hundreds of dollars per month.

Now, are you one of the 20%?

Are you one of the remaining 80% who haven't gotten around to it yet?

That's okay, but what are you waiting for?

Interest rates are still at very impressive lows, and you could end up saving a lot of cash.

Here's what you should do.

Give American Financing a call.

You can do it today.

They're going to go over your finances with you, see if something like a refinance or a consolidation loan might help you out.

And there's not any obligation, there's no upfront or hidden fees.

Maybe best of all, there's no pressure, and that's because American Financing isn't working for the bank, they're working for you.

It's pretty normal to think about things like pay raises rather than trimming costs.

But you know what?

It comes to the same thing: it's money in your pocket.

So, don't be one of the 80% that haven't refinanced or looked at this yet.

Call American Financing today.

Call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

It's Patton Stove for Glenn on the Glen Beck program.

He's back on Monday.

Triple 8, 727, B-E-C-K.

Michael Avenatti, where has he been for the last, gosh, what's it been?

15, 20 minutes since he was in the news?

Remember when he was everywhere all the time?

Talking about days.

Those were good times.

Really good times.

Kind of came out of nowhere.

Mm-hmm.

Was

suddenly the most famous man in America for a three to six month period.

Right.

And then things took a nasty turn.

They sure sure did.

Well, he tried to hold up Nike for $20 million or something.

I mean,

Tongas has not tried to hold up an international corporation

for tens of millions of dollars.

I think we've all done it.

We've all been there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Avenati just got caught, and that's very sad.

What I think is really fascinating about Avenatti is he comes in, he's just embraced immediately by the media.

Well, yeah, because he hated Trump and he had things to say about Trump that weren't flattering.

And so he was speaking truth to Trump.

Yeah.

And he was essentially the equivalent of a Twitter feed, right?

Like he came out.

He was constantly prepping little insults, you know, little ways to phrase things that the media loved because they were doing the work that, I mean, to be honest, they were doing the work that the journalists wanted to do.

The journalists don't want to act like journalists.

They want to be able to yell and scream Twitter insults insults at the president at that time over and over and over and over again.

And sometimes they just do.

And sometimes they do.

Yeah, but

they might get a little pushback here and there.

Avenatti was just doing all the stuff they wanted to do.

Accuse the president of all the things they thought he did without evidence.

But man, did they love him?

Here's just a little reminder of how much they loved him.

He's Donald Trump's worst nightmare, Michael Avenatti.

Joining us once again is Michael Avenatti.

Let's bring in Michael Avenatti.

Michael Avenatti.

Michael Avenatti.

Michael Avenatti, thank you very much.

He's out there saving the country.

Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the Republic.

You are something of a folk hero now.

I owe Michael Avenatti an apology.

I've been saying enough already, Michael.

I've seen you everywhere.

What do you have left to say?

I was wrong, brother.

You have a lot to say.

I am just dying to hear what you think.

People all like you.

I'm the only person right here Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller.

We think you guys are the tip of the spear that's going to take down Donald Trump.

Michael Avenatti is a beast.

Okay, that's true.

And he's a fair.

He's a beast.

See, I hand it to her.

And I hand it to Michael Avenatti.

But he has a bigger calling here.

That being a lawyer is limited compared to what he's doing.

But PM

has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti.

And Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name.

That's fascinating.

Donald Trump is terrified.

of Michael Avenatti.

Give Trump a run for his money more than anybody else.

Michael Avenatti is.

Existential threat to the Trump presidency.

The Democrats could learn something for you.

You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are.

He has no doubt created sheer panic in Donald Trump's very fragile mind.

Michael Avenatti is laying down the law as guest co-host.

Is he really thinking about running for president?

One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.

You look at the field of Democrats right now, and Avenatti is the one who stands out.

If they decide to value a fighter most,

people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avenatti.

I have always said that they need a fighter.

Look, I mean, we're going to continue to use the media.

I think we've used it with great success.

That's great.

And there's more people up here at the end.

Oh, they don't have the one at the end.

What was the one at the end?

He says something to one host where he says something like, You know, I'll say all my sexual fantasies go along with handcuffs.

They just.

There it is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All of my sexual fantasies involve handcuffs.

I see.

I told you.

Oh.

Oh.

yes.

Yes, clappy, clap, clap.

We're all wonderful.

We're all into bondage.

And guess what, Michael?

You're going to be able to live out those fantasies now in the next two and a half years.

Congratulations.

It's going to be lots of fun.

You're going to see how wonderful those fantasies really are.

How embarrassing is that for the media?

And they spend so much time being like, they won't even mention Michael Avenatti's name.

Now who's not mentioning his name?

Trump has no problem mentioning his name now.

What about all these other places that were having him on as basically an exalted co-host for months on end?

Yeah.

And there was the rumblings that he was going to run in 2020 for president.

Remember that?

And that kind of went away.

Yeah.

Sort of went away.

And remember, too,

it wasn't just Trump.

per se he was attacking.

He also had one of the fake accusers of Kavanaugh under his umbrella.

Oh, he brought along one of those three.

I was like, wait a minute, none of these claims make any sense.

And that was, I think, the beginning of the end because it was so easily sort of debunked.

And I think there was a moment there where the media said, oh, wait a minute.

He might just be making all the stuff up.

And much of it he was.

Obviously, we know that now.

What's fascinating about this is he is such a terrible figure.

Such an awful, awful, just,

I mean, he is a creature of the system that is, you know, the lowest among us, right?

It's like the worst that society can produce, Mike, is Mike Lavinatti.

And he's so bad, I mean, especially among conservatives, like he's going to prison because he defrauded and tried to extort Nike.

The company that like promotes Colin Kaepernick

and gives him millions of dollars to do nothing except harass police officers and conservatives are like, good Good job, good job, Nike.

You got him.

Like, he's actually lower on the scale than Nike, which is saying something.

Yeah, Nike's pretty low in my book.

People don't like Nike that are at least conservatives.

And it doesn't even have a problem, I think, now with the woman who brought him to prominence because he was her lawyer, Stormy Daniels.

And isn't she suing him too?

Oh, no.

I think she's suing him.

He's that bad of a lawyer.

He's that bad that even Stormy Daniels is,

I think, suing him for,

I don't know what.

She says she had a statement

reacting to his sentencing today, and she said, he was a man you wanted to trust and believe in.

But the longer I knew him, I began witnessing his lies and dishonesty until I realized I too became his victim.

I am sure today he found a reckoning.

Let's hope that leads to an honest realization that he must change his life.

Again, Michael Avenatti is not only below Nike, but also this stripper porn star that was trying to go after the president as well.

So, really,

and I actually don't know her work all that well, so I shouldn't say it.

Was she a porn star or just a stripper?

I can't remember.

Does anyone remember this?

I don't remember either.

No, I don't know.

Sarah, for some reason, doesn't seem to have this knowledge.

Why?

Sarah, I'm just asking for just a quick distinction: porn star or stripper?

Or both.

Pretty sure porn star, but

she's your confirmed.

There you go.

You know, again, Sarah has many bits of knowledge that we sometimes don't fully explore.

We don't appreciate.

Yeah, you know, we don't.

Not quite.

There's a reservoir of knowledge.

Yeah.

And we need to

do it.

In certain areas.

Other areas, not so much, but certain areas.

She really nails it.

So thank you so much.

Porn seems to be my area.

So it's really a fascinating story because, you know, if you think about it, really, like, they did actually

churn up these checks that were paid from people like Michael Cohen and the Trump organization to

these two women.

And even though that happened, still this guy is a complete disgrace.

Hey, he's like, I mean,

this is a dream of the media at the time to come up with this sort of storyline.

They came up with it, and still Mike and Lavanati ends up in prison.

It really is an amazing turn of events because we forget it happened so fast and so many things happened to us.

They made him, they, I mean, they were trying to elevate him to president of the United States.

Right.

They really were.

And he was just nothing but a total tool.

Yeah.

That's all he was.

And look, blatantly obvious from the beginning, right?

Like, you know, he immediately reminded me of when he came on the scene was Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney who has now turned on him and is now now doing basically the same thing that Avenatti was doing, going on cable news all the time and saying, How, you know, I've got all this information and nobody will listen to me.

And Trump's really bad and he's going to prison soon.

All the things Avenatti was doing, now Michael Cohen is doing.

But like, you know, you look at Michael Cohen, you look at Michael Avenatti, you just immediately get the impression that not one 24-hour period has gone by where they didn't do something illegal.

Yeah.

You know, it's just like, again, I don't have any evidence on it, but

the state apparently did on both of them.

So it's not worked out well for either.

And

that's a sad turn of events.

Is it, though?

I think him winding up in jail is kind of a happy, it's ended up in a happy place.

So, because nobody seems to be more deserving than Michael Avenatti of just spending a little time in prison.

So that'll be fun to see.

Sometimes it's good for people to sit back and think about what they've done.

You know, you need a timeout sometimes, and he needs a timeout in a bad way.

And we should say it was very sad.

He cried.

He did weep openly.

As a man, he broke down and wept openly in court.

Yeah, that's sad.

Yeah.

You know, you could tell it's really gotten to him now after he's lost his money and his fame.

He did admit to wrongdoing, too.

He said he got carried away with himself.

I don't know, something to that effect.

What?

Yeah.

You think Michael Avenatti got away?

I think so, but he does.

He does now because

he's got to show remorse so that maybe he can get parole sometime soon.

Right.

So we'll see.

we'll see what happens there but uh what a what a sad day for michael when he when he wept as a man he wept openly uh triple eight 727 b e c k um also

i was fascinated by the fact that uh france is now warning their citizens about travel to spain and portugal they're kicking in to gear the uh covet fears again because things are starting to calm down and governments are losing control of people.

And so

we've got to regain control.

France is telling its citizens they shouldn't be vacationing in Spain or Portugal

in the latest sign that the rapid spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 could wreck Europe's summer.

And here in the United States, they haven't scared us enough with the Delta variant yet.

So they're starting to push the Lambda variant.

Yeah, I've been hearing a little bit about the Lambda variant.

Lambda.

Now,

do the vaccines cover the lambda?

I think it's too early to know what's going on with the lambda.

I don't think there's any reason to believe that any of these variants are doing anything to evade these

vaccines in any meaningful way.

The only one that seemed to really do it in any meaningful way was the South African one, which I can't, is gamma, maybe?

I think in this new naming system?

I can't remember.

Is it Gamma?

I think it might be Gamma.

But it's already pretty much faded from view.

The Delta one,

there is one study out out of Israel that shows it's still pretty effective, but not as effective.

64%.

64%.

64%.

For Pfizer, which they're claiming, what,

94%?

Yeah, I think.

Every other study, though, has it more in the mid-80s to high 80s.

Oh, okay.

So, like, I don't know.

Even with the variants.

Yeah,

they think one of the issues is that

Israel is super aggressive with testing.

So if you come in contact at all with anyone who had COVID, even if it wasn't like a long-term contact or anything, they test everybody.

They do the entire tree.

And so, they're catching a lot of asymptomatic cases and such.

But the same thing is holding that is held with every other variant in all of these situations.

You don't get as sick.

You don't get as sick.

You don't go to the hospital.

You don't die.

Which is a plus.

Those are all plus.

Yeah.

Those are all good things.

In almost every single situation.

Again, the number in the United States right now is 99.9.

Literally, 99.9% of hospitalizations are people that are unvaccinated.

So,

again, take what you want from that.

But 99.9%.

It doesn't mean you have to get vaccinated.

No.

And it doesn't mean the government should force you to do it.

No, that's for sure.

It doesn't mean they should come to your door.

It doesn't mean Jensaki should show up with a needle.

No.

And inject you with anything.

It just means that, you know, these things have been pretty effective, and we've seen a way to be able to deal with it.

99.9%.

You might say, how could they possibly perform better?

And the answer to that is they could be one-tenth of a percent better.

That's the answer.

They could be 100% effective.

They're only 99.9%.

So deal, you know, that's just the thing.

And it's like, they keep hyping this stuff.

You know, that right now, I mean, you're seeing what's going on with the Olympics, right, Pat?

That they're having no

fans.

I heard a journalist talking about what they have to do.

They have to test every day for three days before they leave.

Then they have to get tested at the airport.

Then when they arrive, they have to get tested and go immediately from there to their hotel room in isolation for three full days.

Then

they can't ever leave the Olympic bubble for any of the time that they're there.

So it's all inside the bubble.

And

I think that the athletes as well

have, after the Olympic Games are over, have 48 hours to leave the country.

Wow.

I mean, they are loading this on.

And Japan has not really had, I mean, they've been able to avoid the worst of this from the beginning.

I mean, they really haven't had a terrible time with COVID, but they're worried about it now.

And

they said, I heard a report this morning: the overwhelming majority of Japanese citizens want them to cancel the games.

Wow.

Think about that.

That's a totally different vibe than I think America.

Oh, yeah.

Like, we would be like, wait a minute, you're doing what?

Yeah.

There, the overwhelming majority in polls show that they want it canceled.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glen Back Program, 888-727-BECK.

Just kind of an amazing feel, as you were saying, from Japan that's, I mean, so much different than what we're experiencing here, where we kind of feel like, at least in Texas, it sort of feels like the pandemic's over.

Right.

We're kind of back to business as usual.

for the most part.

Yeah.

If you had to identify any differences from regular life to right now, the only thing I could point to is that that occasionally employees at businesses are wearing masks.

Yeah.

You know, occasionally you walk around and you see a regular citizen walking around with one as well, but it's really, I would say it's normally pretty rare.

That, and the other thing I've noticed, Chick-fil-A still isn't open to in-store dining.

Yeah, you know, I can't believe that.

A friend of mine has, his daughter's just turned, I think, 16 and going to get her first job, went to get a job at Chick-fil-A.

And I guess at one point they asked, like, you know, how come we haven't opened up this dining room yet?

Like, I mean, you know, we're kind of, aren't we past the worst of COVID?

And they said, it's not about COVID.

It's not about like safety precautions.

They can't get enough employees to open up the restaurants.

That's what it's about?

That is, yeah.

Wow.

And so a lot of these places are, I told you about this, this sports bar that's around us.

That's now closing at 9 p.m.

Because they can only keep people there for one shift.

They don't have enough employees for two shifts.

So they can't keep.

Because people are making too much money staying home and not taking these kinds of jobs.

That's at least part of what it is.

I will say, though, in Texas, for example, that's been canceled.

Oh, right.

You know, that's not even active.

And basically, every red state has canceled that.

So that was, I think, part of it.

And I think you're seeing employees return faster in red states than you are in blue states.

But, you know, there's other parts of this as well.

I think until we get a guarantee to parents that their kids are going to be able to go back to school in a month,

what are you going to do?

Take a job and you might have to then quit it.

It's really hard, I think, for parents to figure out.

And I think in states like, you know, Florida and Texas, as maybe the two biggest examples, but with outspoken governors who are willing to say, look, these things are opening.

You're not closing them.

I mean, you know, DeSantis has come out and said, you cannot close a public school, basically.

And that is important to parents because they've got something to depend on.

They've got a foundation to build the economy on.

Right.

Really tough for parents who both both work and then, you know, they've had to figure out what to do with the kids since they're at home the whole time.

I don't know how people manage.

It's been a tough year or so.

I've noticed that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Tough year.

Triple 8-727 back.

More Pat and Stew for Glenn coming up.

This is the Glenn Back Program.org.

First of all.org.com.org.

Net.

Welcome.

It is Pat and Stu for Glenn.

Jeffy has joined us,

which is unfortunate.

I heard you were talking about porn.

And

stopped by.

We actually were.

We were talking about whether or not Stormy Daniels has done it.

Yeah.

Has she?

Well, I wanted to go and view her work

on a particular website.

Thank you.

And this company will not allow me to access that website.

No, they will not.

No.

They're not going to let you.

Completely unacceptable.

Here you are just trying to do research for the show.

You're right.

I think you need to go complain to Glenn about that.

I have already emailed DeLon,

lodge a complaint.

This is

completely unacceptable.

Well, I believe we did land on that.

She apparently did do a Stormy Daniels Day stripper tour.

That's the

post-Trump accusations, but that is not what she's known for.

She was known for her earlier work.

And as a very well-informed on this topic,

a person here in this office just came in, said she was actually on the 40-year-old virgin.

She was in the 40-year-old virgin.

Apparently, that was the movie that he was using to

excite himself.

Right.

In the

Steve Carell.

Correll.

Yeah.

Now, I'm not sure exactly why there was so much information bouncing around about that topic from this particular individual, but we will leave that.

But he had a ton to another dude.

Actually, he went into

listing off the entire movie.

He had more information than Jeffy did on Stormy Daniels.

Yeah, he most definitely did.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

apparently,

his internet access works.

Okay, yeah, apparently so.

I would be stunned if you were the one that was blocked.

That would be really weird.

And I see, you know, just as a side note, we talked a little bit this morning on Pat's show, which airs.

I was preceding this broadcast.

Yes.

That the Washington Post now

is quoting this show, saying that the Biden administration should turn the

vaccine to get the vaccine drinked into gear.

Washington Post.

So I just want to say Washington Post.

And it was after we talked about it.

When was that?

Wednesday?

Wednesday?

Yeah, we're here for you.

Yeah.

And if you need some more stories, call.

Right.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Yeah.

We could be, maybe you could name us as a source, I suppose.

In fact,

they said that they should acknowledge that it's the biggest medical breakthrough in world history.

Yeah, yeah.

That's amazing.

That's pretty.

That's pretty amazing.

Yes, it is.

It's pretty amazing.

And give him credit for it.

That's what they said Biden should do so that he can kick the numbers into gear again, which I think it would.

I think so too.

Or they could just go door to door.

Or

that.

You could just send Jensaki and Javier Becerra

door to door to inject people individually.

And that would also help.

We have the Becera clip.

Listen, listen to this from yesterday.

This is crazy.

I wonder if you can answer that criticism.

It's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated.

What do you say?

Brianna, perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.

So it is absolutely the government's business.

It is taxpayers' business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy.

And so it is our business to try to make sure Americans can prosper, Americans can freely associate, and knocking on a door has never been against the law.

You don't have to answer, but we hope you do because if you haven't been vaccinated, we can help dispel some of those rumors that you've heard and hopefully get you vaccinated.

I just love that.

It is his business because they paid trillions of dollars

that they went out and earned with their own

sweat equity, with their own labor, with their own hands.

They've been actually digging in dirt and selling goods and services.

Yeah, at roadside stands.

They've been selling vegetables and fruits.

Because I thought they just took it from us.

No, no, no, no.

Good golly, no.

Then that wouldn't be their business if they got it from us.

Oh, okay.

No, this is from their own labor.

I think there's a government farm and they sell all the vegetables and the fruits that they grow there.

Just along the side of the road.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Roadside.

You can get some really good corn on the cob from the U.S.

government.

Yellow squash.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You drive into town a little bit and then you find their retail outlets for their clothing

that they sell there.

Yeah.

It's been interesting to see the messaging on this because we were talking on News and Why It Matters yesterday with Sarah Gonzalez and she pointed out, I think, correctly, that it was sort of assumed that after they said they were going to come door to door, the next step was, we didn't mean literally coming door to door.

Like we weren't really going to come door to door.

That is literally what they meant, however.

Right.

But Sarah is just like, yeah, no, that's yeah, door to door.

That's what we meant.

And no Biden's giving to you.

They're not going to have the, they're not going to be at your front door vaccine ready.

Right.

They're just giving you information on why you should get vaccinated.

And no, I think they, won't they have the vaccine?

I don't think so.

The way it sounded is they were just going to be informative.

At least their new fallback position is it's just like, and they're saying it's not going to be government like employees.

They're saying it's going to be like your local pharmacist, like your local pharmacist is going to take time out of their own day.

They're going to come to your door and say like, hey, Justin, do you have any questions about the vaccine?

No.

You know, again, like, I...

Hi, I'm your local CBS pharmacist.

Just want to know if you want some vaccine information.

Yeah, and I got to say, like, in 1985,

someone comes to my door.

I'm opening it up, asking them, like,

what can I help you with?

Hey, buddy, thanks.

What could we talk about?

What do you have?

Oh, okay.

That's, I'm not really interested in that.

Thank you, though.

In 2021, I assume they're either a murderer or they're trying to raise money for global warming.

And by the way, I'd rather have the murderer.

But

you get roofers.

Oh,

yeah.

And you get bug guys.

You get anti-bug guys.

Yes.

And they don't want to leave.

The anti-bug guys will say, you'll say, do you have a bug service?

And I work.

You know, and my favorite of their sales pitch is, well, you know, Jessica down the street.

No, I don't know.

No, they're

every time.

That's exactly what my roofer did to me.

I just did Steve's.

You know, Steve's.

Steve, just around the corner.

No, I don't know the guy who lives right directly next to me or the other person right directly next to me on the other side.

And the butt guys have the implicit threat of carrying around poison with them.

Like, there's a chance that if you say no, they're going to go to your ducks.

And

you don't know.

Check the poison.

I'm all right.

I've got it covered.

No problem.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, who's your company?

Who's doing it for you?

Yeah.

I know.

I'm good.

I'm good.

Just

close the door.

And they're still talking.

And look, that's a longer conversation than I have with them.

I'm like, nope.

Close the door.

I just don't answer most of the time.

Because first of all, first of all,

we have a no-solicitation law from my HOA.

Okay.

Oh, can that supersede?

H-OAs pass laws.

Yes, it supersedes the Constitution.

It does?

That particular law supersedes the U.S.

Constitution.

Do not come to my door and solicit me.

If I want to buy something, I'll go to you.

Yeah.

Okay.

Don't come to my house.

that pisses me off that is the way commerce should work yeah door-to-door sales i go to you if i want to buy something they're long gone right now and they and it is this sort of like there has to be this like look we just happen to be in the area and we got these boards in the back do you guys need something what do you guys need you do you guys need your roof repaired what are you talking about yeah i'm just gonna have a flippant roof repair i was driving by i noticed some damage on your roof i don't know if you've noticed that on your one corner i can get up there and take a picture wait did you fly over my home i can see it from the road if you you haven't caught that, no problem.

I just want to check it out for you.

Look, I know these things go on and

people work hard.

It's just not the type of thing I want going on in my house.

And if someone comes and tries to pitch me a vaccine from the government, like, no, that's not going to work.

I don't want to.

Even if you don't need it.

If you think it's a great idea to get people vaccinated, something like the idea of having President Trump, who's arguably the nation's largest cheerleader for the vaccine, by the way.

Have you heard the guy on interviews?

I mean, he's calling it a miracle routinely on interviews.

And frankly, it is.

It is.

Yes, it is.

I know there's disagreement on that from a lot of people, but like, it is a miracle.

You don't have to take it.

You don't have to do it, but it's a miracle it happened in less than a year.

It's never taken less than four.

Yeah.

And remember,

this is what the media was saying throughout the Trump presidency to try to sink it.

Right.

Basically saying there's no way he will ever be able to pull this off.

There's no chance that they will have a vaccine by the end of the year.

He's lying to try to win an election.

And they said it over and over and over and and over again.

And then it happened.

And then it's like.

And he should be proud of it.

He should.

He should be proud.

And they all said they weren't going to take it.

Oh,

and now we will.

Now it's required, and we're going to send people door to door.

The freaking vice president of the United States was on TV routinely saying because Donald Trump was associated with it, she wasn't going to take it.

And then now, oh, well, absolutely.

We're going to come to your door.

Kamala might come to the door herself.

That was fatal.

For conservatives, that was their biggest problem getting them to take the vaccine because they bad-mouthed it all the way up until they came into office.

And then all of a sudden, it's the greatest thing ever, and we take credit for it.

We're doing it.

And we need 100% of you to have it right now.

It's amazing, the flip-flop.

That goes on with crap.

It's so bizarre.

Really bizarre.

I mean, we're just filled with hypocrites, which brings me to the story of the 16-year-old that

had $1.7 million in revenue.

And he profited $110,000 last year.

On revenues, he was reselling products that he bought and then raised the price and sold it again on Facebook and Amazon.

Good for him.

And he made $7 million?

He made $1.7 million in revenue.

$1.7 million.

Profited $110,000.

Okay.

16-year-old.

Right.

Great story.

Wasn't it not too long ago where the Tennessee brothers who stockpiled some bottles of hand sanitizer that we were going going to throw in jail.

17,000 bottles.

Donated.

They ended up donating half to homeless.

They didn't donate anything.

It took the rest.

It took them all.

It's just incredible.

But

less than a year later, oh yeah, it's great.

This kid is doing the same thing, selling goods and games on the internet.

Oh, my God.

And we love it.

What a wonderful thing.

Now, that's, I mean, that gets you into, well, isn't that price gouging?

Yeah.

Or is that capitalism?

Yeah.

Now, I, of course, am fully in favor of both of these stories.

And I will say there's no such thing as price gouging.

There are only prices.

That's what they are.

They're just prices.

I know.

There's no such thing as price gouging.

You can't be gouged

people.

You can't be gouged in a tragedy.

Willingly purchase something.

And so price gouging is a.

I know that.

But, you know,

when there's a tragedy.

Yes.

If you're taking advantage of a hurricane, for example,

where all the gas stations in the entire area are closed, but you're the only one opened who has gas and you're charging $15 a gallon, we're going to put you in jail for that.

Yeah, and so what happens

in a situation where you're not charging $15 a gallon, what you get is everyone goes to the gas station and puts the maximum amount of gas possible, even if they don't need it because they're worried it's going to be running out.

So then the people who really need it don't get it.

That's the opposite of price gouging.

It means the people who really need products oftentimes aren't able to get it.

Well, that's true anyway because the people who really need it aren't getting it because the rich people aren't getting it.

That's not the way it works.

Usually what happens when it's overpriced is you only buy what you need.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

You don't overbuy in those situations.

And you know what else happens?

Because the prices are high, you know, gas is a little bit different.

But people come in with an extra supply, right?

You're able to bring in other people, maybe from outer state.

Like this always happens with bottled water.

And they're like, oh, gosh, people are charging $8 for a bottled water.

First of all, every freaking baseball game I go to, I'm paying $8 for

pricing.

Yeah, exactly.

But, you know, the people come in, and then all of a sudden, you know what?

Bob from an hour away says, I've got four cases of water.

I'm just going to drive in there and sell them all for $8 a bottle.

Right.

Some cash.

And then all of a sudden, there's more supply of the needed object.

So that means the prices come down because everyone get it over there for cheaper.

So I'm 100% pro-price gouging.

888-727, B-E-C-K, more coming up in a second.

The Glenn Beck Program.

That's Pat and Stuart for Glenn on the Glen Beck Program.

You can listen to my show immediately preceding this one live if you want on Blaze Radio TV.

That's 7-9 Eastern, 6-8 Central, or anytime you want.

on podcast, anywhere you get your podcasts.

And Stu Show, just as easily accessed.

Yeah, Studios America on YouTube and on podcasts, as well as, yes, it's true.

I guess Jeffy's not available, though.

No, you can get

chewing the fat.

Oh, yeah.

Anywhere.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, you were saying about where do I get yours?

Mine's on YouTube and podcasts, but also chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

No, that's not available anymore.

Oh, you can get that anywhere.

Oh, you can?

I'm still, you know, every day.

All right.

Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

Is it still free, though?

Have you been able to keep the price that low?

Yes.

I mean, I can't promise how long that's going to last.

He's fighting hard for you, America.

Fighting hard.

Well, it's one of those things we were just talking about price gouging a little bit.

Jeffy's podcast is priced at the exact value it provides.

But it's free.

I don't understand.

Yeah.

So

anyway, I'd just like to take a moment also while I'm here to

say hello to the reporters who survived the deadly Capitol riot and are still struggling.

Some won't even go back into the building and several have sought therapy to deal with the trauma.

And many, you imagine, many

aren't sleeping well.

So I just want to take a moment.

Well, how could you sleep after the horror that was the insurrection on January 6th?

How could you possibly ever sleep again after seeing it?

I don't understand how it's possible.

I don't.

And plus, it's only been six months.

Yeah.

You know, right.

What are you going to do?

It's going to take a lot longer than that.

Oh, my gosh.

It'd take a lifetime.

It'd take a lifetime of therapy, and you still wouldn't be over that.

Am I right?

You are.

You're 100% right.

Once you've seen the piles of dead bodies on January 6th,

there's no coming back from that.

You just can't come back.

I mean, now there's a thought that maybe the reporters could just, I don't know, not go back.

No, I mean,

they're intrepid reporters and they're trying desperately to do the job that they've been paid to do.

Though I will say, Jeffy, for you, you could just not come back.

That's something that

I'm already here.

No, I know, but

maybe leave and then you try out what you're recommending for that.

I'm somewhere where I can get on an actual website, I'll tell you that.

Man.

Interesting build being proposed by Rand Paul.

Getting to that.

Also, Dr.

Fauci speaking out again.

Love him.

He's actually your father, isn't he?

He isn't.

He is not my father.

We'll get into that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

So are you looking at a summer of finally getting out?

Maybe you're in one of these states where they're allowing you to go outside for the first time in quite a long time.

One of the things that was really enjoyable about the darkest parts of quarantine, at least in our family, was we were able to go out and still enjoy the backyard.

We actually, as you know, Pat, I'm a COVID-19 survivor.

And during that period, which was, I guess, early October last year, still pretty warm around here in these parts in Texas.

And we spent basically every night outside grilling out, you know, playing wiffle ball in the backyard, like doing all those sort of family summer things that you kind of might imagine as part of real life.

You really take those and

they mean a lot more, I think, after the past year, here and a half.

If you're going out and you're having people over for the first time in a while, if you're having those gatherings, you got to have a RECTEC.

RECTEC

is what you need.

It's a smart grill technology that you need to have because if it gets to be 100 degrees outside and you don't want to stand outside anymore, you just want to go inside.

You can control the whole process from inside the air conditioning with a RECTEC.

Everything's going to be cooked perfectly and you're going to absolutely love it.

We're talking about winter, spring, summer, or fall because you can do it from indoors.

So

you don't keep the RekTech indoors, but you can control it from your phone indoors.

RekTech, it's sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time.

Follow Rech Tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

It's Rech Tech with a Q at the end, RekTech with a Q at the end, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, RechTech.com.

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

One of the things I love about Rand Paul, he just believes in freedom.

You know, it just seems like he's usually in there fighting for

liberty because he's more of a libertarian kind of guy than

not.

And he's just,

he's planning to introduce legislation now to revoke a federal mask mandate for travelers on airplanes.

That is so great because that's one of the last places where you just, you have to wear it and you have to wear it the whole time and you have to wear it correctly and if you make any bones about it you know you can be arrested literally arrested once you land uh thrown off the plane if you're you know uh on the runway they'll drive you they'll they'll go right back to the gate and drop you off have you traveled in the middle of this yet fortunately no okay because i had a few times i don't know if i could keep it on the whole time

yeah you know i'm you know as much as i think as a policy i don't like the idea of a mask mandate it doesn't bother me

as much to deal with a couple of hours with it.

And I go out of my skin.

Yeah, some people really do.

A lot of people have a real problem with a lot of claustrophobic.

Yeah.

And so that extra heat right here on my mouth and nose.

It's just

Pat, when we've done the show together, you oftentimes have done it without your shoes.

Yes.

That's a big Pat Gray thing that people might not know from behind the scenes.

Right.

And that, like, you really do kind of have a claustrophobic sort of thing that's gone on for as long as I've known you.

Yeah.

You know, look, the best thing is

it doesn't seem to really have a point on these planes.

I mean, like, what we've learned from the very beginning of this is that airplanes have one of the best filtration systems you're going to be able to find anywhere.

Yeah, so it's almost like being outdoors.

And

I think they found that generally you're not getting it from a plane.

No.

No.

Outdoors, you know, and

planes.

I can understand why people would think that.

For example, we've seen real issues on cruises.

I mean, that really has has been a place where it's spread.

That has not been true with planes largely.

And especially in a situation where you have a country that's, you know, especially with the most vulnerable, almost entirely vaccinated.

You just, you just don't understand, you know, like this is just, it's just the part of the equation that Biden can actually control.

He has no power to tell you in Texas you have to wear a mask.

He does have the power to tell you on airplanes because he, you know, I mean, the administration has a lot of power.

Literally regulated.

It's an the FAA.

So they're able to kind of go through and do this.

They're able to do it in federal buildings.

They're able to keep it on in the places that they control.

And so far they've been able to do that.

But it does show, I think, the strength of our structure here in this country.

You know, this constitution limits our government, even in these times.

You know, we all have all complained about what the states have done and towns have done.

But the federal government, you know,

you mentioned Anthony Fauci earlier today.

I mean, Anthony Fauci has no power to do anything.

Now, he's influenced a lot of people who do have power, and that's the problem with Fauci.

But, you know, he doesn't have power to do much of anything.

He, he, you know, Anthony Fauci can't make you wear a mask on anywhere other than federal property.

And even then, he doesn't actually have the power to implement that.

It's got to be done through the administration.

True.

He's not an elected official.

He's not been elected to any position.

Still, he has kind of a position of influence.

Yes, for sure.

And he tries to use that a lot.

So much.

Here's what he just said

about

vaccination.

This is not complicated.

We're not asking anybody to make any political statement one way or another.

We're saying try and save your life and that of your family and that of the community.

It's, you know, we have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with that don't have solutions.

It's very frustrating.

You don't have a treatment or you don't have a vaccine.

Here we have a vaccine that's highly, highly effective in preventing disease and certainly in preventing severe disease and hospitalization.

It's easy to get, it's free, and it's readily available.

So, you know, you've got to ask, what is the problem?

Get over it.

Get over this political statement.

Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family.

Are they intentionally trying to get people to not take the vaccine?

That's the thing.

What an arrogant sack of crap.

Get over it.

Just go out and

get the vaccine and save your family over there.

What are you talking about?

Just get over it.

That's about the worst thing you can say to people like me who have been hesitant.

And it's not because it's a political thing.

It's not about politics to me.

It's, you know, I just haven't decided whether I want it or not.

I, you know, I'm trying to do what's best for my body.

And do I, do I take the chance or

do I not?

And

every time, like you presented me with a pretty good case the other day, some facts and figures and stats.

And

I thought, man, maybe.

And then along comes this.

And I don't want to anymore.

Really?

And I mean this.

There is no reason for Anthony Fauci to be on television anymore.

No reason.

There's no reason for it.

He's convinced every liberal that is on this

train.

Going on Chris Hayes, what is that doing?

Right.

It's certainly not helping the situation of public health.

If what Anthony Fauci cares about is actually getting people vaccinated, there's no way this could possibly help.

That's about as bad as you could be.

As bad as you could be.

Acting like we're,

I don't know, morons.

We're idiots.

And we're just doing something for politics, and he tells us to get over it.

That's

probably one of the worst things you could say.

Let me give you, do we have like three or four minutes here?

Let me give you three or four minutes from another representative who's a big fan of the vaccine and see if this is any more persuasive than what Anthony Fauci gave you.

This is the montage of

our former president talking about the vaccinations.

Okay.

I was told it was ready, but apparently it was not.

Okay.

There you go.

So was that convincing to you?

How about that?

Was that convincing to you?

That was powerful.

So

you've got Trump talking about it

somewhere.

And I'm guessing he said good things about the vaccine.

He has been a consistent cheerleader for this vaccine.

He really has.

Very beginning.

And who are you going to listen to?

Are you going to listen to Trump?

Right.

Or are you going to listen to Fauci?

Now, look, you know, you can make the argument.

I mean, like, we've, we've, we saw there is a political component to this, right?

And it's blatantly clear in that during the election, Kamala Harris was warning liberals not to take it because, God forbid, Donald Trump was, was mixing chemicals.

And they weren't going to trust it.

Uh, and yeah, and they weren't, they didn't want to trust it.

Yeah.

They didn't want to trust it.

They didn't want to believe it.

And

they basically had

warnings going to the left saying don't do it because Donald Trump's involved.

And then, you know, this, if Donald Trump was in the White House right now, this situation would be exactly reversed.

There would be a lot of people on the left saying they didn't want to take it.

And I think a lot of people on the right who right now are maybe more hesitant would not be getting these annoying messages from the government.

And they would be on the other side of it.

I think there is a component.

It's dumb to deny that culture plays a role here.

It does.

But again, when you acknowledge that, the last thing you do is have Jensaki come out and say she's coming to your home and that Becera's coming to your home and that Fauci's insulting you.

It's just none of this makes any sense.

Listen to the president talk about the vaccine.

And by the way, this is all very recent.

This isn't like from March 2020.

This is all Donald Trump talking very recently about the vaccine.

Listen.

When the China virus virus invaded our shores, I promised that we would produce a vaccine in record time before the end of the year.

They said it couldn't be done, but with today's announcement, we have now achieved that goal.

The United States is the first nation in the world to produce a verifiably safe and effective vaccine.

Today's achievement is a reminder of America's unlimited potential when we have the will and the courage to pursue ambitious goals.

As I've said from the beginning, a vaccine will vanquish the virus and return life back to normal.

The pandemic may have begun in China, but we are ending it right here in America.

Never let them forget this was us.

We did this.

And the distribution is moving along according to our plan.

And it's moving along really

well.

We had the military, what they've done, our generals, and all of the people, what they've done is incredible.

But remember, you know, we took care of a lot of people, including, I guess, on December 21st, we took care of Joe Biden because he got his shot.

He got his vaccine.

He forgot.

Now, I know you said, and I completely agree with you, that it's the right of every American to decide if they want to be vaccinated or not.

But do you think we should require health care workers who are exposed to patients to be vaccinated?

Well, I think we should certainly try and convince them.

Look, I'm a big fan of the vaccine.

I I was the one that got it done in record time, less than nine months.

Everyone said it would take three years, five years.

And it's why people are getting better now.

We not only did that, we also ordered billions of dollars worth of it before we even knew if it worked.

And that was one of the best bets ever made, because they wouldn't have their vaccinations yet.

But I think having

having workers at least convincing them to try and do it, because I believe in the freedom, I believe in all of that, but the vaccine really has been unbelievably effective, and it's saving this country, it's saving the world.

So, yeah, I mean, it's something that hopefully you could convince people to do it.

Keeping always freedom in mind, but convince people to do it.

Nobody did as good a job with the pandemic as we did, and that's why we're leading the world in terms of coming back.

And that was all set long before Biden came in.

including the fact that we came up with vaccines in less than nine months when a lot of people, everybody said it was going to take three to five years and you probably wouldn't be successful.

And if we weren't successful, Sean, I'll tell you this, you would have another 1917

tragedy where almost 100 million people died.

But we were successful, so it was a great thing.

Because of what we did and because I came up with the vaccine in nine months instead of, I did it in less than nine months, it was supposed to be...

Buck, you knew this.

It was supposed to be five years, three years, but it'll never happen.

By that time, everybody would have been dead.

This would have been, if I didn't do that, this would have been another Spanish flu of 1917, where perhaps 100 million people died.

The FDA does not like Donald Trump, let me put it that way.

They have never seen anything like it.

They would have taken

much more than three years, and I don't think they would have even ever gotten it.

But we did things that were miraculous.

People call it a miracle, actually.

And then, you know, I went out and did something else that people don't talk about.

I bought $12 billion worth of the vaccine before we knew it worked.

We had an idea it worked, but before - and you wouldn't have the shots till October of this year.

No, I mean, Operation Warp Speed, President Trump, was an amazing miracle, and you deserve tremendous credit for that.

A lot of our people don't want to take vaccine.

You know, I don't know what that is exactly.

Republican.

I don't know what it is.

You encourage people to get it.

I encourage them to take it.

I do.

But they want me to make a video.

Did you get it?

Yes, I did.

I had it, and I took it, okay?

You got both.

Because I believe.

Yeah.

Better than Fauci?

Yeah.

Much better than Fauci.

Much better pitch than Anthony Fauci.

And he talks about, you know,

we have to maintain people's freedom and liberty to choose, but we should try to convince them to take it.

Yeah.

And again, you know, I mean,

this is Donald Trump here.

This is not some crazy left-wing.

It's not Jensaki.

It's not Becera.

It's none of the, this is Donald Trump telling you, you know, that this is, and, and quoting correctly many people who call it a miracle.

Yeah.

It really was, and he deserves freaking credit for it.

And Biden's trying to steal it.

Yeah.

He is trying to steal credit for ending this pandemic.

Again, pissing me off.

It's hampered the effort for some people

because

they have forgotten, I think to a certain extent, that it was Donald Trump behind it.

Yeah.

And so a lot of people don't trust it because of the Biden administration.

And look, you can, again, as the president was very clear on, yes, it has to be your choice.

It should be your choice.

But, you know,

he's very,

that is not a person who's equivocating there.

He's not like, oh, well, it might work.

It might not.

I mean, he's talking about this as his legacy.

And I believe correctly identifying the fact that the left is trying to steal the greatest achievement,

as they called it in the Washington Post, the greatest human health achievement in public history or something like that.

In world history.

In world history.

Yeah.

And Biden's like, you know what?

That's mine.

And instead, again,

if they actually wanted people to be vaccinated and didn't just want this talking point, they'd get him out in front.

They'd get him out in front.

And then give him credit.

Biden would be out there saying, you know what?

None of this would have happened if the president didn't take the actions, the former president took the actions that he did.

And while we'll disagree on almost everything else,

you have to give Donald Trump credit for what he did in that very difficult period.

That type of thing will go a long way to actually make this into the non-partisan issue Fauci says he's talking about.

Instead, they're on TV yelling at everybody.

Right.

It shows you who they are that they won't do that.

You know they won't.

They won't ever give him the credit because that's just beyond them.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

It's Pat and Stu.

For Glenn, who's back on Monday, by the way.

You know, it's really telling that the Biden administration would never,

would never, ever, and even the Washington Post said that they should give him credit.

If they really want the numbers to increase percentage-wise in this country, where they want 70%,

80%, 85% of this country to be vaccinated, the only way to do that now is to bring out Donald Trump, to give him credit, and to make sure that he talks to the people who voted for him.

Because they claimed that that's who's being resistant.

Now, I'm being resistant, but it's really not because of Trump or not because of Trump.

No, it's just because I haven't decided yet.

Yeah.

And it's not because I'm anti-vax or pro-vax.

I just haven't decided yet.

And, you know, at one point I'll make that decision.

And

I don't care who developed the vaccine.

It's just that

if I decide

it's better for me to get the vaccine than not have it, then I'll do it.

Yeah, and they try to frame this as this big partisan divide issue.

And really, it really shouldn't be.

It shouldn't be.

You know, we have tons of.

But it is.

It is.

It's become more cultural.

I think it's important.

Look, and I know you're not doing this, and I don't think a lot of people in the audience are doing it.

This sort of stuff with Fauci going on TV talking about it isn't what's making your decision because then Fauci's making your decision for you, right?

it's just an annoying irritant

where you don't want to.

Yeah, yeah.

It's true.

And that's not, you know, that is not, again, if this is your aim, if we assume the aim of this administration really believes most people vaccinated as possible.

Then give him credit and get him out there.

And you know what?

It would be a moment of honesty too.

Yeah.

You know, you don't have to lie.

You don't have to say, you know what, we are Donald Trump.

It's all him.

He did it.

We don't actually believe that, but he did it.

He actually did do it.

It's his operation.

He led it.

He talked about it.

There's all sorts of reporting from behind the scenes that he was pushing as hard as he could to get through all of the bureaucratic nonsense.

That's true.

Right?

It's all true.

He said it publicly at the time.

He said it every day since.

Most of the interviews that we play with Donald Trump here were from June and May of this year.

Right?

Like, he has been consistent throughout this entire process.

Yeah.

And he wants to, he wants credit for it.

Damn it, he deserves credit for it.

Yes, he does.

Put him out there then.

If you want people to take the vaccine, but they don't because their politics, their agenda, their ego is more important to them than the American people.

That's a fact.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

That great stupid for Glenn, who returns on Monday morning.

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

Let's go to Brett in Texas.

Hey, Brett.

You're on the Glenn Beck program.

Stupid.

Hey, happy Friday from the great Republic of Texas.

You too.

You too.

And

comment and then a tip.

My wife and I just returned from Costa Rica.

And 72 hours prior, we had to have a COVID test.

And during the flight, we all had to wear masks, even though everybody on that flight

had to be tested pretty much.

Oh, right.

So you knew that nobody on the flight had COVID-19, yet everyone had to wear a mask the whole time.

Exactly.

Perfect sense, doesn't it?

Exactly.

And here's the traveler sense.

So waiting,

because they make exceptions, you can have your mask off while you're eating or while you're drinking.

And so bought two bags of combos, the pretzels with all the cheese in it, because they, each bag has like 900 of them in there, and just slow ate them.

And

the flight attendant came up to me several times.

Are you done, sir?

And I finally looked at him and said, not a prayer, my man.

Not a prayer.

And finally, when we were descending into DFW, it's like, well, I think I'm done.

And so I wore my mask for probably 15 minutes the entire flight.

Yeah, it's, we've been when that was going on, because we had

COVID.

And after that, like you have immunity, obviously,

you know, and so we would just a lot of times just walk around with a drink.

You know, like you have the drink kind of open, holding it a few inches away from your face.

And if someone comes over and looks at you, like, are you going to put that mask on?

Then you just got to just take a sip.

I mean, it's really is, we all understand it's silly.

I mean, it's, it's, it's obviously ridiculous.

I will say, since Biden got into office on planes, it is worse, considerably worse.

Uh, when I flew, I flew back in, geez, I guess it was last summer, 2020 summer.

And

they, they, you, you were supposed to wear a mask the whole time.

They were not nearly as crazy about it.

Now they've added layers and layers of announcements at the beginning.

The last flight I was on, the, when they were announcing the mask policy, they actually said when you're eating, it's mask off, bite, mask back on, chew.

Right.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought they had come up with.

And

did they enforce that?

Yeah, more than normal.

I mean, it's definitely,

it's definitely taken a massive turn since Biden got into office specifically.

He implemented all these additional threats and penalties and policies.

And so, you know, look, these airlines have no choice but to enforce them.

It's not, you know, it's not their policy per se.

They may also still want to do it, but they have to enforce these policies.

Now, you could tell it's one of those things, you could tell they've read it 500 times and they say it the same way every time.

You know, so and they, but they're very specific about when you're eating.

You can't do what I was just talking about.

They don't want, they don't want you to do the guys, uh, the collars combos trick right now.

They want you to take a bite and chew with the mask on, and it's like our broader side.

Insanity, it's all insanity at this point, especially when you have a country again that is 89%

vaccinated among

65 plus.

This is not a borderline.

Look, you go to India where they're at like, you know, 12% vaccination.

Maybe you have more of a case for this, but you don't know.

It doesn't make any sense.

They're just doing it because they can.

Have you been to a movie theater in the last

months?

Have you really?

Yeah.

We've gone to movies that have come to the theater then.

Well, first of all, Pat, you should remember our heroic effort.

Yes,

you're right.

We were basically the first people in the United States to go back to the the theaters this was like a year ago right it was i think it was may 2020 more than a year ago you don't remember this uh sarah has doesn't doesn't care about us or the show so she doesn't have any recollection of this but it was a big thing we did it we we went after the show we did the show together again it was the day glenn was out and we went to a local theater which was the first right theater in texas to reopen and it was uh in

I think it was May 2020, and they were opened at 25% capacity.

I will tell you this.

They were not at 25% capacity.

They were at me and Pat capacity.

That was it.

It was literally just us.

That was it.

It was us in the theaters with two employees.

I'll never forget this because it's, it's, and, and, and there was one employee behind in the concession stand, and the guy who owned the theater, and that was it.

No other customers.

I mean, actually, there was one or two other customers, wasn't there?

I think in other movies.

Yeah, in other movies.

We were the only two people in this particular movie, which was a Vin Diesel,

a Vin Diesel

vehicle.

Yeah.

And it was one of the single worst movies I've ever seen.

I don't really remember any of it.

It was so forgetful.

It was so forgettable.

Yeah.

He was.

I don't.

Something about

in his blood, there was

some

nanobots that made him into almost like a superhero or something.

Yeah.

No, it was really bad.

He could die and be brought back or something through the nanobots.

Yeah.

It was not good.

And it was released.

I want to say its release date was the weekend before they shut the NBA season down.

So it was like one of the last movies they released

in that situation.

Right before all the theaters closed.

Yeah, it was Bloodshot.

Bloodshot.

Bloodshot.

Vid Diesel Bloodshot.

And it came out,

Pat and I sat in, and we made sure to be social distance where Pat sat in the back left-hand corner of the theater and I sat right under the screen in the front right-hand corner.

There's a video of it on my YouTube page, youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica if you want to watch it.

We took you through the whole thing.

And I will say the movie was not good, but it's interesting to see Vin Diesel being in the movie that arguably

relaunched the movie industry.

He was in F9,

the ninth Fast and Furious movie,

which we all needed, by the way.

Oh, yeah.

People were clamoring for it.

No, They were, apparently.

It made $100 million

or $70 million opening weekend, is now up over $120 million.

In China, in the first weekend, I think it made $134 million or something like that.

It was huge in China in its first weekend of release.

But where is it now domestically?

Did it get over

$100 million, right?

Yeah, it is at $126

million.

Isn't bad in this environment.

Now, pre-pandemic, that movie is probably going to bring in, at this point, is probably at $200 million.

But it's still a business.

Like, that's a legit business.

Quiet Place was the other one that came out a couple weeks before that.

Did $50 million opening weekend.

Is at $147 million domestically for a horror film.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

I mean, that's pretty freaking good.

Since Barry Dillert, Barry Dillard is a a respected guy in the film industry.

He's been chairman and CEO of two Hollywood studios, Paramount and 20th Century Fox.

He has now declared the movie industry dead.

He said the movie business, as before, is finished and will never come back.

Wow, that's pretty definitive from a movie mogul.

And

he said it does have to do with the substantial decline in ticket sales and the closure of movie theaters, but he says it's much more than that.

And obviously, he believes it's the streaming thing.

And because of all these deals that have been made where the movie is released immediately onto, say, Amazon or

Disney or wherever they release it, HBO Max, that's going to kill the movie theaters.

Now,

would you

continue to go to do you like it in the movie theater?

I love it.

Or are you okay with it being just at home?

I love the movies.

I love going to them.

I

particularly love the dine-in movie theater revolution

that has occurred.

That's a good thing.

It's not everywhere, really, but it is.

It's popped up in most places now.

And, you know, Texas, there's about five dine-in theaters within a 10-mile radius here.

And I do.

And they're really nice.

And they're good.

You can essentially lay down a lazy boy recliner and you have a tray in front of you and you can fill it with food.

Yeah.

It's like, you're never going to.

It's fun.

Look, you could eat at home, but restaurants are fun, right?

Like I like going to restaurants and this is now restaurant plus movie at the same time.

I mean, it's fantastic.

Yeah, it's a good innovation.

Yeah.

It really is.

So I think there's a place for them.

I think there is an argument to be made that theaters will

decrease in, you know, you're going to wind up not having 5,000 theaters to release movies in anymore.

You know, but I will say that there's a place around here nearby where we work in Texas that had a movie theater in this sort of local shopping district that closed down during COVID.

And I remember thinking, like,

this is, what are they going to do with the space?

I mean, it's not like movie theater companies are like, oh, we need to open up new establishments right now.

Like, how are they going to fill this thing?

And they just announced that they are going to be filling it with no longer just a movie theater, but partially a dine-in movie theater, plus bowling alleys and other various entertainment, you know, sort of entertainment complex type of thing, which is probably where this stuff goes.

Like maybe movies are just part of it, and it's no longer you have 40 movies at a multiplex.

It's just changing a little bit, but that's okay.

You know, it's going to be probably more of a niche activity, but if people are still watching the movies, you can still make cash off of this.

People will pay 20 bucks.

They're paying 20 bucks

at home to watch these movies when they get released.

Everybody's got a streaming subscription, it seems like.

And I will say all these things.

Or multiple streaming subscriptions.

Oh, my God.

I was looking at how many I have, and it's austing.

I'm actually revolted by how many I have.

And of course, the most important one, Blazetv.com slash Glenn promo code Glenn Save10.

Yeah.

That's number one, and I'll never cancel that.

But, you know, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO Max.

Yes.

Do you have Paramount Plus?

I don't think I I have Paramount Plus, although I just got an offer from my little credit card that said they're going to pay for a year of Peacock Network, the new NBC one.

I have that.

I don't have that one yet, but I will be getting it.

And then, of course, after the year expires, I will forget that I have it.

And you'll keep paying for it.

And I'll keep paying for it forever.

So these things, you know, people are going to wind up doing that.

There's obviously a business there, Pat, right?

Yeah, there's a business there.

Yeah.

I think so.

And I think you're right.

It's just going to be different.

It's going to change.

And it's kind of sad because everything has changed.

You know, we've, we've gone through a ton of change culturally over the last just five years.

But think about the last 10 years or 15 years where you used to go to,

you know, you used to go to Hollywood video or blockbuster video and you used to get the videos and take them home and it was like you brought down a deer, like a 15-point buck, and you're like, look what I,

look, I got Princess Pride.

Yeah, we've seen that 38 times.

Take it back.

But it was a big deal.

And then it's gone, completely gone.

You know, the way we listen to music has completely changed over the last few years.

And now this, now we're going through this transition too.

So it's going to take some getting used to.

And Pat, before we leave this topic, I must tell you about Bloodshot and its box box office revenues.

Okay.

So its first week of release, which I think about this for a release date, March 13th, 2020.

Oh, my gosh.

Wasn't that the very day?

So the 11th was the day the NBA season shut down.

You remember that night where all the people in Oklahoma City were at the game and they canceled and everyone had to leave?

Yep.

Then

March 15th or 16th, I can't remember,

was Donald Trump talking about 15 days to slow the spread, right?

So it directly

two events.

Directly in between those two events was the release of Bloodshot starring Bin Diesel.

Its first weekend,

it opened with $10 million,

which is still pretty impressive if you think about that time period.

It finished in second place.

The next weekend, it came in with $0.

My gosh.

So just 100%.

Drop-off.

And where did it wind up?

Right around there.

Well, I guess our dollars came in eventually, Pat.

Our two purchases.

Okay, so it was $10,016.

$10, $16.

888, 727, PEC.

All right, let's talk about Life Lock.

By the way, May 29th, Pat.

May 29th, 2020.

I'm actually looking at the YouTube video.

It's at youtube.com slash Studos America.

If you want to check it out, maybe I'll tweet it as well at Studos America.

But here's what it says.

Stubergeer and Pat Gray prepare to risk their lives to see a movie.

Stuberge.

I love these descriptions.

Stuberge and Pat Gray embark on the most dangerous mission in Texas history.

You won't believe the odds that are defied as these two titans of industry face down almost certain death to break the ultimate taboo, going to support the movie industry at a movie theater on May 29th, 2020.

Yeah.

Which, by the way, as you pointed out, I'll tell you something.

Not all heroes wear capes.

It's a great point.

Thank you.

We didn't wear capes capes no during this adventure though we did we didn't wear masks either

no it seems like they weren't doing it yeah i think that was pre that was like back when fauci was still saying don't wear them yeah they're not necessary yeah yeah uh i think i i feel like i remember we had to bring like i don't think they made us wear them i'm kind of looking at the footage and glancing through it here and i don't think They actually did wear.

We did actually wear them.

I don't think we did.

I don't think we did.

That was a fun.

I know for a fact we didn't inside the theater.

I will say this.

Looking back at the pandemic era, that is one thing I will never forget.

Because it was creepy.

It was like nobody was in there.

It was a ghost town.

The parking lot was empty.

We got there.

They didn't even open on time.

Remember, we stood out in the parking lot for like a half an hour

trying to fill time until the movie, they actually opened up the movie.

And it was like 10 minutes before the movie started because

they knew nobody was coming.

I don't know why they even opened.

The guy who started the theater bought the actual theater in January of 2020.

Before.

Right before the pandemic.

So

good timing.

This is the Glenn Bach program.

So, you know, if you are one of these people who is worried about the things that could happen to you, like if you're out in the, you know, if you're African savannah and you're like the fattest zebra, the lions are probably looking hardest at you for dinner, right?

That's the way this works.

It's kind of how it works, too, if you happen to be the type of person who does everything right here in america you know you you go through you work hard you get some savings you put it in your home you try to pay off your debts if you have a lot of equity in your home you are the target for the lions in this situation uh and you become the tasty delicious dinner for cyber criminals if you are one of those people you are at the top of the victim list for home title fraud it's one of the fastest growing crimes in america and basically they just forge paperwork that makes it look like you sold your home, even though you're still living in it.

They take advantage, they take out loans against your equity.

It's your money, they're taking it.

You don't want to have to deal with the legal wranglings to try to unwind this.

It's going to cost you thousands of dollars, even if you're somehow successful.

Protect your most valuable asset.

Register your address to see if you're already a victim of home title fraud.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Uncertainty continues to grow in Haiti.

There's some

U.S.

suspects they're looking at.

And

so

this thing could get kind of ugly for us, I would think.

We'll get into that.

Tell you what's going on and what's coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenback Program.

Buying or selling a home in these times can be very, very,

it can be difficult, especially if you're looking at the market.

It's been ridiculous lately.

I mean, if you are trying to sell a home, it's a great time to do it.

But this could be your big moment in your financial life.

If you sell your home and you time this right and you make a lot of money, it can do a lot for your financial future.

At the same time, you blow it in a moment like this.

It can really hurt you in a serious way.

And that means if you're a buyer, too, if you're going to look for a home and you overpay for something that maybe is overpriced in this market, who knows?

You got to find a real estate agent you can trust that knows the market, that can do the job, that can help you.

You know, I had a real estate transaction recently where I was like, well, I guess we got to paint this house.

And because, you know, it's not looking great and indoors.

And our real estate agent said, in this market, you don't need to paint the house.

Let them paint the house.

They'll paint the house.

You don't, don't worry about it.

And it's sold, you know, day two.

It's just one of these situations where the market needs to be understood in

full terms by your agent, and you need to have the best agent in your area.

Wherever you are, you can find that person at realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

The name says it all: realestate agentsitrust.com.

You don't have to.

triple eight seven two seven B E C K it is Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Pack program he's back on uh Monday morning from his vacation uh things

are a little uh

iffy right now in haiti uh

just

they they're thinking maybe u.s citizens are involved here yeah haitian americans really is a crazy story it is i mean you go back to from the beginning you know what was it 1803?

Haiti

was a former slave state, gets its independence, and it spent the last 200 years really trying to figure out how to do things on their own with lots of international interference over that time period.

I guess it was

in the 2000s, things are starting to turn around a little bit.

It's starting to go pretty well.

They didn't have as many,

they had some actually somewhat normal elections, and then obviously the earthquake occurs, kills 250,000 people.

Think about that on that tiny island.

I think it's 11 million people.

Gosh, I didn't remember it was that many.

Yeah, and that doesn't count the people in the aftermath, really, where things are continually bad.

I mean, it wipes out huge portions of the cities.

The infrastructure's gone.

Think about that.

The worst disaster in U.S.

history, the biggest natural disaster loss of life we've ever had

was

6,000 people, I think, in the 6 to 10.

They're not sure how many.

6,000 to 10,000 in the hurricane in Galveston in the early 1900s.

And that was the worst disaster we've ever seen.

That's 250,000 people in one event?

Wow.

Yeah, I'm looking at that now because you've told the story before.

And it was before,

mainly because of what they did in the aftermath.

Yeah, where they rebuilt the city.

They

lifted the city 17 feet.

It's remarkable.

I don't know how you would do that now.

How would you do it?

Could we do that now?

I don't know if you could lift Galveston 17 feet higher, but they did.

They did back then.

It was September 18th, 1900.

It was a category four hurricane.

But again, they didn't know it was coming.

That was a big part of it.

There was this before we had satellite, advanced satellite technology and everything.

145 mile-an-hour winds killed one in six residents in the city.

Jeez.

Destroyed 3,600 homes

and killed an estimated 12,000 people.

Okay, 12.

Yeah.

But again, that's 1,900.

Yeah.

And it's a hurricane coming out of nowhere, basically.

Yeah.

This is an earthquake, which obviously does come out of nowhere as well, but in a...

In a country with only 11 million people as residents, killed 250,000 people.

Jeez.

Unthinkable.

Yeah.

It's hard to imagine.

Obviously, this throws the entire country into chaos.

There's power struggles.

There's chaotic

crime outbreaks.

There's just, you know, the whole, it's not a functioning state.

in Haiti after this.

So eventually this guy who was killed the other day gets into power.

It's a disputed election.

I think 18% of voters come out to vote in it.

Very, very small amount.

He wins the entire election with 600,000 votes.

So it's a very small amount.

It's disputed.

They eventually come to some sort of agreement where he's provisionally put in as president, but there's like a provisional alternate for a year.

And then he, in his mind, he starts his term.

Okay.

It's a five-year term there.

So he gets through four years and everyone says, okay, see you later.

And he's like, no, I have a five-year five-year term.

And they said, well, what about that first year?

So there's this disagreement.

I mean, think about a country operating this way.

There's a disagreement as to whether the president's term is over or not.

He says no, shockingly.

This tends to be how this happens.

People are like, you need to leave.

And he says, I'm not leaving.

The election, it's not time for the election yet.

We have situations where

they've hollowed out to the government.

So there's only something like 11 representatives currently serving in the government,

nationally elected, because many of them have been

thrown out with corruption reasons.

And

the government was dissolved, but not reformulated at one point.

I mean, it's really crazy.

Another thing is the president had dismissed multiple Supreme Court justices, and then the chief justice of the Supreme Court died of COVID.

So think about the chaos in this situation.

Yeah,

it seems to me the Supreme Court justice was supposed to be the next in line.

Is that right?

You might be right on that.

He's next in line for president.

Because now they're kind of like the succession plan is like, well, it's up here

because he died.

And there's two people going for it, essentially.

Yeah.

So that's all happening after this assassination.

And the assassination is in and of itself

a scary and fascinating story.

They're at their house.

The house is well guarded with security, and as you'd expect the president's home to be in a country in the middle of the situation I just described.

And apparently they think about 50 people

roll up in tactical formations.

They come in with lines of vehicles and also

people on foot.

They come into the complex.

They announce themselves as DEA agents, U.S.

DEA agents.

And the way it was described was basically like the DEA is

in Haiti often because they're fighting the drug trade.

So they're very familiar people

there and have a decent amount of pull.

They come in and they say we're DEA, like people, generally speaking, honor that.

And apparently they came in, said they were DEA.

They were not DEA, at least that's certainly the official story.

I mean, I don't think there's any, I don't think there's anybody who really believes the U.S.

government was the, was trying to assassinate this guy in this way.

But they came in, they said they were DEA.

They were speaking English and Spanish.

Were able to go past all of the security, get into the home, go up to the room where the president and his wife were sleeping.

His daughter

and his son were there as well.

They hid, thankfully.

They executed.

The president of Haiti,

shot him a bunch of times.

I don't know what the total number was.

I know one of them was in the eye.

I mean, they really, there's rumors, at least in Haitian media, that they tortured the guy before they killed him.

They also shot the wife, who is still alive, I believe, in critical condition, but may make it.

Then they left and they walked out of the facility and never had a shot fired by the security of the president.

So we, you know, it's unclear at this point, you know, there's speculation, was the security involved?

You know, did they know this was going to happen and step aside and allow it to happen?

Did they get disarmed by the DEA at the beginning and they were able to kind of walk out of there?

Was,

you know, were, did they believe that there was an official action and had no idea the president was even killed?

We don't even know at this point the truth there, and we probably won't know for some time.

But

you wonder how, you might say, okay, Haiti, it's this country.

It's not even a functioning state.

Should I care about this story other than just the normal human cost that, you know, of course, you'd care about.

What's interesting about it is if you think about how this would be framed if it happened, let's say here, right?

Like, again, I understand that Haiti and America are much different places, but someone comes in and kills a big leader in our government, and they announce themselves as Mexican agents, and they're saying they're Mexican drug enforcement.

Can you imagine how we react to that?

A lot of people will just believe, right, it was the DEA.

A lot of people will believe the U.S.

was involved.

We now, at least, the reports are that there were two American citizens involved in the assassination.

One of the one they've announced the name was from Florida, though of Haitian descent, had interests in Haiti, but an American citizen.

How do the Haitian people react to this?

And do they blame America?

And if they do, do we have another Cuba on our hands?

Do we have another

island off the coast

relatively close to our country that goes completely the opposite way and becomes an anti-American global influence of some sort?

There's certainly plenty of countries around the world, China, Russia among them, that would love to influence them in that way.

And you can bet that they are.

You can bet that that chaos is being,

at least attempted to be manipulated

by foreign influence at this time to put another

strong oppositional force in our hemisphere.

And do we still have the Monroe doctrine where we don't allow that to go on in our hemisphere?

Is that still a thing?

Seems like it, I mean, we sort of enforce that and sort of don't.

It seems like, sort of selectively, because, you in Nicaragua, I think they've kind of been communist for a while, right?

Any specific location in Nicaragua?

Like Manawa Niyarawa.

Oh, okay.

I think in Manawa Niyarawa, they are fairly communist there.

Yeah.

Daniel Noriega, who's been there for what?

A zillion years?

713 years, I think.

We don't have Jeffy in the studio right now, but of course he fought in the Battle of the Island of Spice

in Grenada.

Right.

Which was a situation.

Something we couldn't allow right there.

Couldn't allow.

And then there was, of course, obviously Cuba being a big situation, which is still ongoing.

I mean, we've opened up relations with them and then, you know, it's changed, gone back and forth several times since.

But the bottom line is they're still there, still chugging along.

And, you know,

communists specifically, you may not see, but you may see an anti-American regime pop up there

in a big way.

And it's still pretty close.

Yeah.

Again, you don't necessarily fear them.

You don't 700 miles.

You don't fear the might of the Haitian military personnel.

But when you have influence from a China or from Venezuela or from Russia or from somewhere else, that's what you worry about.

Yeah.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K, Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenbeck program.

It's Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenbeck program.

We were talking about the biggest disaster in American history.

And

during the course of that, Stu has stumbled onto the, is it the top 12 disasters in U.S.

history?

Yeah, they say the worst disasters in U.S.

history that left the nation in peril.

This is from Everglades University.

I don't know.

It's just where I have to go.

Everglades.

Man, that's where I get all my information.

Well, the reason why I bring it up is because now every list, this is why they make listicles because everyone you read, you have to argue about.

And like, well, this is ridiculous.

But let me give it to you real quick here, Pat.

Number 12, they have the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

What?

Like 11 people died there.

Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's bad.

That's bad, but that's that's the 12th biggest.

Yeah, oil and gas leaked for 87 days.

3 million barrels were leaked into the Gulf.

There was some damage on the coast, for sure, at the time.

But generally speaking, I mean...

Remember that oil spill that kind of drifted out to sea and they were showing

airborne shots of it?

And what are we going to do with this?

And then they went out to look at it again.

It was gone.

And they're like, wait, what happened to it?

Well, yeah, the earth took care of it.

The earth is

pretty amazing.

It is, isn't it?

It is.

Number 11 is Hurricane Harvey.

Now, that's a big one.

Hurricane Harvey, second costliest hurricane to affect the U.S.

mainland since 1900.

Category 4 storm, $125 billion in damage.

The rainiest Atlantic hurricane ever to be measured.

And really just...

I mean, flooded Houston to a degree that, you know, was absolutely incredible.

And still, they're still dealing with some of the ramifications of that.

Number 10, Hurricane Katrina.

I would think Katrina would be higher on this list.

Katrina comes in at number 10.

1,833 people died, $80 billion of damage.

I mean, 2005 of that storm that, you know, really, obviously we all remember that one.

Number nine, the Peshtigo Fire.

Peshtigo Fire.

Yeah, October 8th, 1871.

Oh, okay.

That's why I hope that.

Today probably would have been controllable, but back then, it spread to 1,875 square miles, killed 1,500 people.

What?

Yeah.

Wow.

One of of the worst disasters in U.S.

history.

Number nine.

That I can't remember ever hearing about.

Yeah, it's kind of the past.

The Tigo fire.

Could anybody tell you what that is?

I don't know.

I mean, I just, I mean, I knew it.

Obviously, I told you the date and everything.

Yeah, you did.

Number eight, the Johnstown flood, which is one memorialized for sure.

This was 1889, killed 2,209 people.

A dam sent 20 million gallons of water into the Mississippi River, creating a wave 70 feet high that traveled 14 miles,

destroying everything and everyone in its path, according to this listicle.

Number seven, the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Now, again, I put the Katrina in effect.

Oh, yeah.

Right?

Come on.

I mean, it was one of the worst.

Oh, we lose some birds on that?

Is that why?

We didn't have enough dove

liquid soap to wash the birds off.

There was a dove shortage.

Yeah, there was a dove shortage, and we couldn't wash all the birds.

And so.

coincidence it's named after a bird oh yeah

that's that's that's one of those things that you talk about pat yeah uh but 1989 that was of course oil spread over 1300 miles 10 million gallons of oil into the pacific ocean and there was a lot of environmental damage of course associated with that but again what happened to the oil where'd the oil go i i well people drank it

People drank it, Pat.

Did they go in?

In French, Michigan.

That's how that happened.

Oh, wow.

Yep, that's how that happened.

I hate when that happened.

This is interesting.

Ahead Ahead of Hurricane Katrina, they have Hurricane Maria

hit Puerto Rico, of course, in December, September 2017, killed 2,975 people.

Officials believe it was much, much higher.

Not in the U.S., though.

No, this is Puerto Rico.

Official death count was previously 64.

The storm cost $90 billion in Puerto Rico and $1.6 billion across the Caribbean.

I mean, that was really bad.

And

that was one of those things where these are U.S.

citizens, by by the way.

You know, that was that was very damaging.

San Francisco earthquake, number five, disaster.

It was April 18th, 1906.

3,400 people died.

80% of the city destroyed.

3,400.

Can you imagine if 80% of San Francisco was destroyed today, how many people would die?

These events can really, in magnitude, ramp up pretty quickly.

Number four, Galveston, Texas hurricane.

We just discussed that.

3,600 homes destroyed, 12,000 people killed.

Hurricane in 1,900.

Biggest loss of life.

They have number three, COVID-19.

Now, of course, COVID-19 has a much higher death toll than anything else on this list.

Kind of a weird thing to insert in the middle of this.

I don't know why you'd put that on the list.

And it's not number one with 600,000 plus dead.

Bizarre.

They have number two, September 11th, 2001.

Again, like, this is not a natural disaster, but 2,973 victims killed.

And we all remember that day.

And then they have number one, the most famous disaster and worst disaster in U.S.

history that left the nation in peril.

So I guess you're talking about what the repercussions are, what the feeling of the country is, what changes afterward.

And maybe you could count this one as number one, Pearl Harbor.

Wow.

2,403 Americans killed.

However, obviously World War II kicks into high gear after that, and we get involved in it in a big way.

So, I mean, I think if you're looking at it from just the impact of the event, Pearl Harbor 1, September 11th, 2, COVID-3,

Galveston Hurricane 4, San Francisco Earthquake 5.

I mean, it depends on, again,

you're thinking death tolls, you're making a totally different list.

Yeah.

If you're thinking natural disasters, you got a different list on there.

But Pearl Harbor arguably was the most impactful day in the history of the United States.

I mean, I think you could make that argument.

Yeah, you could.

How many people died in the Chicago fire?

I wonder.

They didn't even list that, right?

That's not even the top.

Below the deep water oil?

You got to put Chicago fire ahead of that.

I'm calling Everglades University right after this.

Yeah,

get him on the horn.

Change your listicle.

Yeah.

We're a little offended by your listicle.

That's modern society today.

The anger and the outrage is billing over this listicle at this small college.

We're just about to start going downtown.

We're heading downtown to start looting right now.

That's what we're doing.

That's how pissed off are.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

It's Patton Stew on the Glenbeck program.

He'll be back on Monday.

You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, right before this one, 7 to 9 Eastern.

Anytime on the podcast you love.

While you listen to the podcast, you could also get yourself some cookies from a Kexie Cookie and try the new butterbeer beer flavor.

It's

delicious.

It is delicious.

Really, really good.

They're all great, but that one is particularly like I never had that flavor before.

It's kind of a butterscotchy thing.

It's very good.

Very good.

Pat.

Good job.

Nice work.

I know you did all the rest.

Came up with all the recipes.

Researched

and poured over recipes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you make all the cookies yourself.

Yeah.

In a hollow tree.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a terrible place to bake them.

I know.

It's so dry right now.

I'm just a little nervous at fire season.

Yeah, really dangerous.

By the way,

as we kind of get past the July 4th holiday, Glenn Beck will be coming back next week on Monday.

We are all sort of inching into summer a little bit.

Maybe the first time you're thinking about that.

And I think it's important to ask yourself a question.

Do you believe that Nancy Pelosi sucks?

The answer is yes for me.

Really, it is.

Yeah, it is, yes.

Well, if you do, you need a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen.

We just got some new ones in.

Available once again at nancypelosisuxpen.com.

Check them out there.

You definitely need one of these in your life.

Nancy Pelosisuxpen.com.

They're handsome pens, too.

They are.

Thank you very much, man.

I appreciate that.

Let me, there's a, there's a new

fitness test going on.

And there's an idea.

I don't know if you know this.

There's no difference between men and women.

There's no difference at all.

No discernible

physical difference.

No.

They're almost exactly the same.

In fact, that's why it's so easy to to switch genders because they're basically the same

so when we open up our world to this new woke environment where we recognize that there's no differences between the genders whatsoever you can't even tell which one is which how could you know no one could know

so this has now been sort of implemented or is being implemented in the military where they said you know what we don't need a different physical fitness test for men and women after all they're the same.

So they're getting rid of the gendered fitness test for military members.

And I think you could argue that's actually a pretty good idea.

If you can't pass the fitness test, you probably shouldn't be.

Yeah, there should just be one fitness test for everybody getting into the military.

So

in a way, I kind of agree with this policy change.

Military.com has a report out talking about the early data, and it's showing some things that are making us a little uncomfortable in our new woke world, Pat.

Early data shows nearly half of female soldiers can't pass the test and might face being removed from service once it becomes official next year.

The Army is now reconsidering and thinking about a return to gender-specific fitness standards.

Oh my gosh.

Now, here are the results.

And you tell me if you, this is shocking to you.

44% of women have failed the fitness test.

Only 7% of men have failed the fitness test.

When it comes to a perfect score, 66 female soldiers have a perfect, or 500 out of 600, so a very good score.

So 66 female soldiers, 31,978 male soldiers were able to do the same thing.

So

if it's officially adopted, the uniform standards would prevent women from advancing through the ranks as readily as men, as physical fitness scores are heavily considered in promotions for some reason, according to military.com.

I can't think of any reason why you would do that in the military.

Can you think of any?

I can't think of why you might need that.

That's really weird.

You know, these, these laws are...

It should be completely different standards for men as women.

Right?

Yeah, like, so

I think what you should do is you should have two tests,

male and female, but allow the males to say that they're females if they fail the test for men.

So they can retroactively just say, look, yeah, how about this?

Judge me on the female standards.

Because I'm identifying as such today.

Right.

And if you happen to be a very physically fit woman, you can identify as a male and get into that test.

Okay.

I like it.

Which is

that's the way you should do it, I think.

These, some of these things, these laws are unfair to women, Pat.

Now, I would argue as a military, you should not care about any of the woke nonsense that's out there because that's how you get in trouble with a military.

The only thing you should consider is whether your military is able to defeat other militaries.

And that's not the case, though.

Have you been listening to the generals under this administration lately?

It's amazing.

It's amazing.

Some of these guys were around during Trump, too, and were doing some interesting things behind the scenes.

Yeah, and Trump was pissed.

Trump was pissed about.

Trying to put a stop to that.

However, we have now another law, Pat, that's unfair to women.

And I just love this headline: A nation conceived in liberty confronts its squeeziness with the MILF Mobile.

The MILF Mobile.

You might not know what the MILF Mobile is.

Hopefully, you know what MILFs are, just from the point of, I really can't explain them on the air, other than to say it's sort of like the hot mom,

a mom who's who people think is attractive.

I can't really go into the full acronym, but you can, if you don't know it, feel free to look it up, though I don't necessarily recommend Googling it at work.

Okay, so the MILF Mobile is a van in Maine.

Okay, it's driven by a mom who is.

And is she hot?

I don't know if she's hot.

I don't know if she is an actual MILF, but I will say she believes she is.

So on the back of her van, in large letters, it says MILF Mobile.

It's a big logo on the back of her van.

Now, She also has a license plate, and she's fighting for her constitutional right to maintain this license plate.

And again, I can't tell you what the license plate says, unfortunately, on the air.

What I will say.

But as you described it to me before,

it has something to do with breast stitches, her snoobage, right?

And

it's a T-word that has to do with snoobage.

And you can't.

Yeah, it's one of George Carlin's words.

You do not have the right to put that on your license plate.

How dare you.

I'm sorry.

There's no constitutional right to put that word on a license plate.

She does not agree.

Quite the opposite.

And they're trying to figure out whether a new law banning vulgar vanity plates sets the stage for a free speech showdown in Maine.

Now, she does not only have the snoobage-related vanity plate and the MILF Mobile on the back of her car, she also has some other stickers.

If you'd like me to explain some of them, Pat, I think you might have.

Are they explainable?

Kind of.

Kind of.

One of them is: there are kids in this bitch.

Honk if one falls out.

Okay.

All right.

Now, this one is a little bit

a little risque.

It says, if you're going to ride my rear end,

at least pull my hair.

And then another that says,

honk.

So stupid.

Wow.

Another that says, condoms prevent minivans,

which is actually, I think, arguably true.

That's probably true.

So she's fighting for a constitutional right to protect the MILF Mobile.

And I don't know how you feel about it, Pat.

That's a wild woman right there.

That's

good for her.

And we have one other story.

Is she married?

What's that?

Is she married?

I wonder what her husband thinks of the MILF Mobile.

It's a great question.

I wouldn't necessarily picture...

any husband being particularly high on the MILF Mobile.

No, I wouldn't.

I think I wouldn't either.

No.

Maybe Jeffy would be.

Other than that, I don't know that I know anyone who would be high.

First of all,

for who among us doesn't have a MILF mobile.

And this is a shocking one, Pat, because I've been looking at some of the crime statistics lately.

And what we're seeing as a trend is interesting.

And then it's pretty flat for the last like 15 years, a crime rate.

And then all of a sudden, it shoots up dramatically.

And you might say, well, was it during COVID?

Well, it was during COVID, but specifically, it ties directly to the Minneapolis riots.

Shocking to me.

I was stunned by that information.

Yeah.

And it's stayed really high since the riots.

It's come down a tad, but basically has stayed really high since this era of BLM has helped us along so much.

Is this the murder rate or is it just violent crime or is it crime in general?

Let me, because it was all.

First of all, the murder rate is way up in this country.

What's interesting is the murder rate is way up.

This is homicide.

Now homicide does

also include other killings, not necessarily just murders.

Homicide includes more than that, but still

it is way, way, way up, up by 20.

But somebody's been killed illegally, right?

Homicide isn't a homicide.

It's not?

Like, for example, a police-justified shooting is technically a homicide.

Oh, okay.

However, it is not a murder.

It might not be a crime involved in it.

However, murders and those crimes are included in the homicide number.

So there can be, you can, it can be a homicide and not a murder.

You cannot be a murderer without a homicide.

Okay.

Okay.

So anyway.

Somebody's dead, though, is what we're saying.

Somebody's dead.

And the rate, so the

race is dramatic

right as these things hit, right as these

riots hit and stays up very, very high, going back to the levels of the late 90s, which is when it was first coming down from that ugly era of the 80s and 90s.

So we're going back a long way.

We've wiped out 25 years of gains against murder.

And it was dramatic, too, because in the early, late 80s, early 90s, for instance, New York City had, I think one of their biggest years was 2,300 murders.

Was it 20, if I'm not mistaken, it was somewhere around 2,300.

Well, you know, now or before this latest rise, it was into the 300 and 400 area.

Yeah, dropping 70, 80, 90% in some areas.

A lot.

And now to have all of that, you know, all of that progress just kind of eliminated.

All wiped out, Pat, to protect black lives because they matter so much to these organizations.

They care so much about black lives that they're willing to sacrifice some of them to raise money for new homes.

That's how much they care about black lives.

Right.

But remember, there's also the study that we talked about where this does not include 2020, where this rise is happening.

But between 2014 and 2019, they studied areas that had large BLM protests.

And what they found is that they did protect 300 quote-unquote homicides of police

against citizens.

Now, of course, the overwhelming majority of those would have been justified shootings, but they say, hey, we did prevent 300, according to the study.

At the same time, they did increase the rate of murder among civilians and caused 1 to 6,000 additional murders of civilian versus civilian.

So you save 300 police shootings, most of which would have been justified against criminals, and you get rid of 1 to 6,000 actual citizens who were murdered by other citizens.

What a win.

Unbelievable.

Anyway, they're now saying law enforcement advocates are explaining there's a mass exodus from police officers and from police forces, retirements.

No.

Yep.

I mean, this isn't a super fun and fulfilling time for police officers to be

a police officer?

You'd think this is a great time to be police officers.

Yeah, you would.

You get all that wonderful attention.

Everyone's always pointing cameras at you and blaming you for racist murders when it's not your fault at all.

And, you know, sometimes we do know there are bad cops, but everyone just gets lumped in.

to the category of bad cops.

And for some reason, the good cops don't like that.

They seem to be leaving.

Kind of picky.

They're kind of picky then.

Wow.

That's what I say about cops.

Kind of picky.

Kind of picky.

It's gotten to the point where they don't even want to be

confused with douchebags or

killers.

They don't want to be accused of any of that.

That's pretty picky.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

888-727-B E CK.

Triple 8-933-93.

No, it's

888 727B E C K.

Okay, only on the last break did I finally get the number wrong.

You did two weeks of

so weird.

All right, Patton Stu for Glenn.

He's back on Monday.

Have you seen the video of Biden yesterday talking about Afghanistan where he stops again?

He's just like stunned for, I don't know, five to six seconds during his speech.

Check this out.

This is Joe Biden Biden talking about Afghanistan yesterday.

We went for two reasons.

One,

to

hello,

bring

Osama bin Laden.

Is that amazing?

To the gates of hell.

Okay, pause.

The word bring?

Yeah.

To bring.

You don't even have that noise.

That would be better than what happened.

Because you know, he's still there at least.

Osaba bin Laden.

It's embarrassing.

I don't know how.

I mean, his brain literally locks up multiple times a day.

It's rough to watch.

It is.

Not to mention, we should point out that he is on record saying he basically

because it was the toughest decision in 500 years.

That's right.

And he advised against it.

Advised against taking out the world's most notorious terrorist?

Yeah, and now he's taking credit for it.

Unbelievable.

Two reasons.

One, to bring

Barack Obama.

No.

Osama bin Laden.

Yes.

Carrot Top.

Somebody.

It was someone.

The dial down the middle guy.

It was Carrot Top.

It was Stu.

It was Carrot Top.

Unbelievable.

It's a good sign for a country.

You know what?

I'm optimistic.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

This is fun, Pat.

Thank you for coming in and going in.

My pleasure.

Glenn Beck is back on Monday.

Don't forget to check out Pat Gray Unleashed and Stu Does America, wherever you get your podcast, or on Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
