Speaker 1 This

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 the Glenn Back Program.

Speaker 2 Today with Pat and Stew for Glenn, he'll be back on Monday. Got a jam-packed show again for you as usual.

Speaker 2 There's actually some things going on in the world, frankly.

Speaker 2 In fact, a world leader's just been assassinated. People aren't paying a heck of a lot of attention to it, but very strange situation where they came into his house as DEA agents from the U.S.

Speaker 2 and assassinated the head of

Speaker 2 Haiti. We'll tell you about that and lots more to get to,

Speaker 2 including the fact that Joe Biden loves spending money. We'll get to that and much more in 60 seconds.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck program. Buying and selling houses is hard.
We've all had to do it from time to time.

Speaker 2 I'd be willing to guess that you're not, you know, on the edge of your seat saying, I can't wait to do this again, all over again, because it's such a fun process. But it's got to be done.

Speaker 2 and that means if you're looking to buy or sell or both, you need the best possible real estate agent that you can get.

Speaker 2 Someone who's going to step in and make sure that they're taking charge of the situation immediately.

Speaker 2 You know, we're in a situation where people are moving all across the country because they've decided they want to abandon their place in California or New York or Illinois.

Speaker 2 Some people have realized that maybe other states are better states to be in

Speaker 2 a potentially

Speaker 2 challenging situation. your location does matter here in the United States, obviously, in a big way.

Speaker 2 And if you're moving somewhere or if you're selling your house, you want to make sure in a market like this, you're getting the best price for that home.

Speaker 2 And you want to make sure that you don't overspend in the wrong area, in the wrong market, if you're trying to buy.

Speaker 2 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to find the person that can help you make sense of all of the craziness that's going on right now. Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

Speaker 2 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 2 It's Pat and Stewart, Glenn, 888727, B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 Have you ever heard of a world leader being assassinated in his home before? I don't think I've ever heard of that. Maybe it's happened and I just don't know about it.

Speaker 2 But I can't think of a similar instance.

Speaker 2 The guy in Romania, didn't they go into

Speaker 2 his palace and execute him? That was more of a full-out coup.

Speaker 2 But maybe there's been a couple, but it's not everyday news, bad. And I keep looking for the part where the assassins were themselves killed, and I haven't seen a single story on that.

Speaker 2 I haven't seen a single word about that. I don't think they caught him.
No, it doesn't. I think they walked into his house.

Speaker 2 claiming to be DEA agents, drug enforcement agents, and then shot the guy and his wife and walked out. And that was it.
And they don't have them in custody. No, amazing.

Speaker 2 I don't think they have them in custody. There have been multiple people killed across the country.

Speaker 2 In,

Speaker 2 I guess, people that were quote-unquote suspects or loosely tied to someone who could be a suspect. And there's been some people turning up dead over the past 24 hours.

Speaker 2 This tends to happen after you assassinate the president of a country. Yeah, it does.
But it is amazing that this is just, you know, people just aren't really even all that interested in it, it seems.

Speaker 2 You know, there was a, it's a weird situation there in that they had like this very strange election. They had a provisional president for a while.

Speaker 2 They had, there was a disagreement on when this guy was going to leave office. It was like, I don't know.
Maybe it's this year. Maybe it's next year.
Shockingly, he took the next year option.

Speaker 2 So he's been in power.

Speaker 2 There's a contingent in the country that's saying that actually he's supposed to be out of power. But usually you don't wind up seeing a situation like this.
And it's an incredible story.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's incredible.

Speaker 2 We still don't have tons of detail on how it happened, but they said they, you know, in the morning, you know, we wake up and there's just, you know, bolt, you know, casings all over the front lawn

Speaker 2 and the driveway. Yeah.
It really was like they just, they said it was so many, uh, so many bullets. The neighbors said that it felt like it was like an earthquake going on.

Speaker 2 Like there was just so much gunfire going in the wild.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah, incredible.
So, yeah. I mean, a world leader, right? You know,

Speaker 2 Haiti, there's a lot going on. It's had its problems.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yeah.
It's got a few problems. One way to put it.
One way to put it.

Speaker 2 But you don't see this every day. No, you really don't.
And

Speaker 2 I'm a little baffled by the fact that there was nobody who put a stop to it before it could get to that point where they could kill him. It does not seem possible.

Speaker 2 Security forces, maybe?

Speaker 2 Police officers?

Speaker 2 Secret Service or their version of Secret Service. Do they have none of that in Haiti? It's kind of weird.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, they did have security, but has anybody looked to the second guy in control who now takes over the country to say

Speaker 2 Prime Minister?

Speaker 2 I know they had a quote from him that I heard. He's like, hey, I'm in control now.
I'm in control. It's me now.

Speaker 2 That immediately led me to believe,

Speaker 2 could he have been behind this? Yeah, maybe that's a little hasty on my part, but I'd look into it.

Speaker 2 Let me

Speaker 2 run this theory about you, and this is not fully formed, but I want to get I'd like to get your take on it. Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 I felt like reading about the story, because it's an interesting story, even if you don't necessarily care about the politics of Haiti. You know, a world leader gets killed, and it's

Speaker 2 something that's interesting. And I've been trying to find out details on it and trying to read about it as much as I can.

Speaker 2 And what I felt like is that the coverage has been really bad.

Speaker 2 Yes, like very,

Speaker 2 like, no one's been able to paint a picture of what happened on this day particularly well. No one's been able to really give you much detail.

Speaker 2 Now it's it's soon after and I know there's a lot of question marks. It's not an easy story to cover.
But you know, I feel like I

Speaker 2 crossed my mind that the media has just given up on actually doing journalism.

Speaker 2 Like there's a part of it. It's like where like they just did five years of just covering Donald Trump's tweets.

Speaker 2 And now a story like this happens and there doesn't seem to be anybody around to cover it or anybody who's capable of telling this story in any rational way.

Speaker 2 I'm looking right now at a story I just found. Actually, Jeffy just sent it to me.
Authorities killed four suspects and arrested two others. So now they have a couple of six

Speaker 2 at least.

Speaker 2 They're believed to be well-trained killers who allegedly impersonated DEA agents to enter the home.

Speaker 2 So yeah, Prime Minister Claude Joseph has now taken over the government.

Speaker 2 I'm sure nothing suspicious there.

Speaker 2 You wouldn't think, hmm.

Speaker 2 Maybe he had that done. But I guess they're mercenaries

Speaker 2 and highly trained, and at least one of them sounded like an American. He had an American accent, which means he had no accent at all.

Speaker 2 That's white privilege right there, folks. You heard it in action.
There it is. That's what it is.
Right there. If you believe that you have no accent because you're white, that's white privilege.

Speaker 2 No, it's not because I'm white. It's because I'm American.
american american

Speaker 2 so uh it'll be interesting to see what what comes of this as we do get more details on what exactly happened uh but for now just a really strange development and you know it's a country that's really close to our borders and does matter and a lot of people go to the dominican republic for um

Speaker 2 vacations They've got some really nice beaches in the Dominican and a lot of good baseball players come from the Dominican Republic, which is right next door to Haiti.

Speaker 2 So it's kind of important to the U.S. I mean, because baseball players and beaches,

Speaker 2 baseball and beaches. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. No, it's, it's, and it's, it is obviously very close.
So anytime you have unrest that is relatively close to our shores, we, you know, it's something to monitor.

Speaker 2 I don't think of it as a story that necessarily affects us all that much, but it is interesting to the Monroe Doctrine, where we can't allow any sort of communist leadership on this side of the planet.

Speaker 2 That's all I have to say there. Yeah.
Well, look, anytime something like this happens, you know,

Speaker 2 if, God forbid, an assassination happens in a well-developed, you know, democracy or parliamentary democracy or republic like we have, usually what you have is a situation where people mourn and

Speaker 2 we go on through the, to the next guy. You know, and we move on and we do our best, right? That doesn't, a lot of these countries, this stuff happens and the whole thing just melts down.

Speaker 2 Now, I don't know how you melt Haiti down.

Speaker 2 It's already kind of

Speaker 2 melted. Yeah, it's

Speaker 2 you know, sadly, it's they've had a lot of issues. It's like you put butter in a microwave.
What happens then, you know, and turn it up on high for a minute or so? You're not going to have

Speaker 2 a solid product there. Yeah.
No. And that's kind of what the situation Haiti has been in.
It's been a rough, rough patch for a very long time with the prospects.

Speaker 2 I mean, and of course, there's been people, you go back to the Clinton Foundation stories where all sorts of corruption has been

Speaker 2 involved down there. Lots of money flowing there after their tragedies, lots of it not getting to the people in any way that was helpful.
Clinton Foundation.

Speaker 2 Wow. Sorry, I had a little tickle.
You okay? You sick? You getting sick? Just a little frog in my throat.

Speaker 2 Clinton

Speaker 2 Foundation.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Wow.
Wow. Wow.
That's weird. Yeah.
You don't sound so great. $10 billion worth.

Speaker 2 It was a long cough.

Speaker 2 That could be a whole new stretch. That could be a new variant.
What are you doing? It might be the Lambda thing going on. Oh, no.
Yeah. No, please.
You've read about the Lambda.

Speaker 2 I guess we weren't scared enough by the Delta variant.

Speaker 2 They got to bring on the Lambda variant now. We'll talk about that later.
And the other reason it matters to us, I think, is because I've already seen a little speculation about whether or not U.S.

Speaker 2 troops are going to be sent to help keep order during the transition. Please, can we, is this, can we stay out of anybody's situation? At least with troops, at least sending the military in.

Speaker 2 I mean, just haven't we learned anything yet? That doesn't usually go well. Let's just stay out of it.
Let them, let Haiti deal with, with Haiti, and

Speaker 2 we'll see how that goes. Well, we've seen how that goes.

Speaker 2 Not well.

Speaker 2 But again, is it our responsibility to patch each one of these things back up? No, I think the answer to that is no. No.
I mean,

Speaker 2 there's a lot of great charities that work in Haiti, and people go and spend their lives trying to

Speaker 2 rehabilitate that place.

Speaker 2 I know there's one charity that goes there and tries to, instead of donating money and throwing money at all the citizens, they open up actual

Speaker 2 vacation situations, like resorts for other people, other visitors from other countries to go there. And they hire locals.
Oh, so they can bring in foreign money and tourism and all that.

Speaker 2 And they hire locals and try to come up with a business that is actually workable for people over the long term rather than just, hey, you get one donation every time there's a tragedy and probably your government steals it and then it's over.

Speaker 2 They have people who are able to actually do work and help people and give you

Speaker 2 value to people from a lot of times out of the country because, you know, of course, the country is beautiful.

Speaker 2 You know, it's an incredible place to go, but they don't have any infrastructure that anyone would want to visit, at least not until recently.

Speaker 2 And these things have been popping up all over the country. You just, with a situation like this, who knows how it turns out?

Speaker 2 You don't want another Cuba, right?

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 you don't want that to happen again. We went there,

Speaker 2 was it

Speaker 2 2015, maybe?

Speaker 2 2014 or 15. It was years after the earthquake.
But everywhere we went in Haiti, there was still

Speaker 2 the lingering effects of the earthquake. In some cases, rubble still there that hadn't been dealt with.

Speaker 2 There's, you know, partially collapsed buildings that should probably be completely torn down because they're unsafe. I mean, all over the country.
This was years later and they were still.

Speaker 2 And so the kind of the question was, didn't the Clinton Foundation

Speaker 2 send them $10 billion to, I mean, and that wasn't the only, of course, aid that was given to Haiti, but still much had not been done.

Speaker 2 And why? Well, it's the corruption in the country. So they do have a difficult time.

Speaker 2 It's been tough for them. And then after that,

Speaker 2 after the 2010 earthquake, I think there was a serious hurricane that went through as well. And they're right in the path of hurricanes all the time, too.
So things are tough there. Triple 8-727-BECK.

Speaker 2 More coming up in one minute.

Speaker 2 It's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Triple

Speaker 2 The agenda of Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 How excited are you for it?

Speaker 2 Spending quite a bit of money. You know, I mean, if you consider, what is it so far? $5 trillion? $6 trillion.

Speaker 2 If you consider that a lot of money, there was a time when $5 trillion would have been considered a fairly large amount of money. That time is past, of course, because they're not done spending yet.

Speaker 2 And they're also talking about tax increases, but of course, only on the rich who deserve it. They won't even care.

Speaker 2 They make so much money. Yeah, they don't need any more money.
No. No, I've determined, Pat, through a process of me thinking about it, how much money everyone else needs.

Speaker 2 And yeah, a lot of people have more than that amount. So what I want to do

Speaker 2 is take the amount that they don't need, which I would say anything is over like

Speaker 2 anything over four digits.

Speaker 2 You know, if you have over nine,

Speaker 2 no one needs more than than $9,999 per year. Okay.
Okay. Yeah.
What I'm going to do is take all of the rest of the money and do with it whatever you want. What I want to do with it.
Okay. Because I.

Speaker 2 Can you spend it better than I can? Yeah, exactly. Like, you don't know what the heck you're doing.
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 I mean, you are. Who am I? What do I know? Nothing.
You know nothing. I'm nothing, nobody.
Well, what do you do? You know, you're... Look at what you've done so far.
Exactly.

Speaker 2 You bought things for yourself, for your family. Yeah.
You started a business. Right.

Speaker 2 This is all wasteful nonsense. Okay.
What I will do with your money is incredible things. Will you build turtle tunnels, for instance?

Speaker 2 Yeah, like these turtles try to cross the road and they get run over by cars. They get squished, which is not right.
It's not right. So the money that you'll pay in taxes this year, Pat, I will take.

Speaker 2 And what I'll do with it is I'll apply all of it to about one one-hundredth of one turtle tunnel. And if we take a hundred people like you and all of your money,

Speaker 2 we'll kind of put that in a giant bowl and we'll take that bowl and we'll just dump it all over the highway. I'm not going to actually build the turtle tunnel.
That seems like too much work.

Speaker 2 But like that much money would be a turtle tunnel. We'll hope the turtles will take that and maybe learn how to cross the road in a more efficient fashion.

Speaker 2 Or they'll take it and build the tunnel themselves. Yeah, I would

Speaker 2 just, you know, I'm not going to do the work for them.

Speaker 2 I mean, they're turtles. Right.
Let them do whatever they need in their turtle way. Oh, yeah, I don't care about the turtles.
To be clear, I do not care about the turtles.

Speaker 2 But the turtles are being murdered. Yeah, they are.
By people like you. Right.
You know, with a car. Which drive over the top of the bottom? Because you bought a car with some of this money.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 For yourself. Right.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I did. Did you ever hear about carpooling? Do you ever hear about

Speaker 2 it? I've heard about it. Taxicabs? Yes.
I don't use them, but I've heard about it. Horse-drawn wagons? Yes.
You ever heard of those? I've seen those in movies.

Speaker 2 But you, unfortunately, work very far away from here.

Speaker 2 I live live

Speaker 2 here. You can drive a car from here.
Yeah, drive a car instead of just moving into a commune nearby. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All of these things are your choices, your fault. That's why I'm going to take every dollar above $9,999.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 And that's exactly the attitude of the government. Basically.

Speaker 2 Which is kind of demonstrated by Joe Biden here when he's talking about this tax credit situation.

Speaker 3 Just starting next week, families have begun to receive one of the largest ever single-year tax cuts aimed at families and children.

Speaker 3 And every child under the age of six is $3,600. Every child between 6 and 17 is $3,000.
It's not as a credit against your taxes, but as a direct payment.

Speaker 2 You'll get cash.

Speaker 2 Cash.

Speaker 3 That's what we'll get. For example, a middle-class family with two children can expect to receive $7,200.

Speaker 3 You get the first half, the $3,600 paid out of $600 a month between July and December, and you get the rest between January and Tax Day. Nice.
But this one tax cut,

Speaker 3 every study shows that

Speaker 3 child care is cutting poverty in half by 40%.

Speaker 3 What? Families with children who qualify for this is cuts poverty by 40%.

Speaker 3 This one paid. So let's extend the tax cut at least through 2025.
And let's expand.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, give me free money. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Let's expand.

Speaker 3 Free money for millions more children.

Speaker 2 That's unbelievable to me.

Speaker 2 That's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 This is just universal basic income for parents. Yeah.

Speaker 2 What's the cutoff income-wise for that?

Speaker 2 He didn't mention it. It just sounded like everybody gets a check.

Speaker 2 If you have kids under six, you get $3,600.

Speaker 2 If they're up to 17,

Speaker 2 you get $3,200, I believe, he said. I just,

Speaker 2 no, it's $3,000 for 6,000 to 17 years old. Okay, $3,000.
And And $3,600. I have 44 children between 6 and 17.

Speaker 2 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 I just, I mean, I just adopted another

Speaker 2 38 kids over the weekend. And so I'm looking forward to that payment.
I think you may want to,

Speaker 2 I'm just going to, I don't want to criticize your financial,

Speaker 2 your financial

Speaker 2 community here. Right.
The issue here is you may have wanted to look at the income limits.

Speaker 2 Oh, there may be a lot of money. What were the income limits? Okay, so your adjusted gross income is $75,000 or less for single-country.
I'm adopting some kids this week.

Speaker 2 There's a giant pile of babies out in front of Pat's car.

Speaker 2 Why are they?

Speaker 2 Above $75,000, the amount begins phasing out. Okay, so it goes all the way up to $240,000.
Single file.

Speaker 2 I mean, at $240,000, at $440,000, couples get phased out of the tax credit entirely. I mean, can you imagine you're making $439,000 a year? You're still getting some partial tax credit for your case.

Speaker 2 This is insanity. And a direct cash payment.

Speaker 2 That's not deducted from your taxes during the year. And a check.
You're sending you a check. And one of the big parts of this is to prime you for universal basic income is the check comes to you.

Speaker 2 It's not like you're no longer

Speaker 2 at the end of the year. You're just getting a check delivered delivered to you every month.
They're going to do this coming in 2025. Amazing.

Speaker 2 They're doing it forever. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 That Gray. Stupid Garrett for Glenn on the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 2 You have Google devices at your house? You know, like the Google Home or Google Nest. You have the nest, right?

Speaker 2 I have all this crap.

Speaker 2 I do not hold the line in this way

Speaker 2 and you see convenience the most recent thing about these devices they're recording everything you do you know that is

Speaker 2 probably definitely true but i also yeah i also want to be able to walk into a room and say play song please yes please play what weather is

Speaker 2 with as much effort as i want to put in lazy it's so bad it happened so fast

Speaker 2 it did it did it really does we have but it is awesome when you can say, and I won't say the name of the product, I'll just Amazon thing.

Speaker 2 Play my playlist. Playing playlist.
And

Speaker 2 I love that. You don't have to walk over to it.
You just tell it what to do, and it does it. It's remote.
Turn up volume. And it turns up the volume.
I love that.

Speaker 2 Look, you could get into this.

Speaker 2 you know, reminiscing into old-timey things

Speaker 2 in a lot of ways, and it's easy to do these days. But like, I remember

Speaker 2 driving around the state to, you know, quote-unquote record stores where they had CDs, you know, really more CDs at that time.

Speaker 2 And just looking for like a rare thing that I wanted, some weird remix or B-side or whatever it was, driving hours to go to these stores that were like specialty stores to find things that I wanted, to listen to songs.

Speaker 2 And now everything you could possibly want is available basically for free, whatever you want with no effort.

Speaker 2 And I saw a little round thing right in front of you in your kitchen or living room or wherever it is. And to me, right now, the same person who drove around the state,

Speaker 2 now like me unlocking my phone and typing it in is way too much. It's too much.
It's too much. It's way too much.
You got to be able to just shout it across the room and it happens. Right.

Speaker 2 Like, I know

Speaker 2 at one point I have, um, I got one of these Amazon devices that is the tap.

Speaker 2 You know, they have all these different versions. They have the echo, and they have, you know, there's, there's all, there's the little tiny one.

Speaker 2 I don't know what that one's called, but they have all different versions of it. And there's one called the Tap that they release.

Speaker 2 I don't know if they still sell it or not, but this is the one that you don't yell to, basically. I think you can set it up to say, hey, Amazon device, play the song.

Speaker 2 But basically, what it's designed to do is there's a button on it. You press the button and you say, hey, Amazon device, you know, do the thing, right?

Speaker 2 Like, play the song, just tell me the weather, or whatever. And I think a couple things it was designed for.

Speaker 2 It was, you know, but the main thing that you think of from a perspective of like privacy was it's not on until you press the button.

Speaker 2 Like, the theory was, now, of course, you know, of course, it's probably recording me the whole time anyway, but the theory was it was an appeal to people who didn't want this thing on all the time available.

Speaker 2 You could say that to command a hundred thousand times in a row wouldn't do anything unless you press this button. But of course, it's too hard to go over and press the button.

Speaker 2 You don't want to do that. Every time I'm going to be able to

Speaker 2 get three steps. I got to get up out of a chair and do it.
No. And then I got to hit the thing.

Speaker 2 And, like, you know, when you're listening, you're in the middle, you have the thing playing a playlist, you're in the middle of doing something else, and you want to skip some crappy song that has come on.

Speaker 2 You got to walk over to it. That's ridiculous.
That's infuriating. It's one of the worst things that's ever happened.

Speaker 2 It's outrageous that you'd have to do that. It's so bad.
And of course, it is. And these are devices we didn't have access to until just recently.
These are pretty recent innovations.

Speaker 2 And each one of them I make fun of as if they're the most ridiculous thing that's ever happened. Like

Speaker 2 when I got

Speaker 2 the fingerprint thing on my phone, I remember thinking,

Speaker 2 what person can't spend the time to type the four digits into their phone and unlock it? What weird, what person

Speaker 2 from WAL-E

Speaker 2 was this?

Speaker 2 And then it was me in about five minutes. And then now I can't imagine using my fingerprint.

Speaker 2 Now it's just facial recognition. And it'd be completely ridiculous for me to ever have to use my fingerprint again.
It's like 1800s technology to me.

Speaker 2 And what does it say me? One 80th of a second? Probably. But that's, I can't, I can't even comprehend it.
Yeah. How dare they ask me to put my finger on the phone?

Speaker 2 And as far as listening to a playlist, instead of, I don't know, putting in a CD, when was the last time you put a CD into anything? I mean, CDs were just fairly recently state-of-the-art innovation.

Speaker 2 And now it's like a CD, what's that for? What's I don't even, I don't remember.

Speaker 2 I vaguely remember these round things that you put into a slot, but I can't imagine having to go through that painstaking process.

Speaker 2 I will say,

Speaker 2 I have an older car, and it's almost 10 years old now.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 So it is,

Speaker 2 you know, it's

Speaker 2 the technology in 10 years changes a freaking lot, Pat. I mean, like, it has

Speaker 2 my car does not have the ability to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my phone so I can play songs. Oh, it doesn't? No.

Speaker 2 It's 2012, I think. So, I mean, the technology existed.
It was in some cars, but it wasn't in all cars, and mine's one of them. It wasn't in.

Speaker 2 So I have to plug in a little wire every time I get into my car. Oh, no.
I mean, and this is like.

Speaker 2 What are you, a a luddite pretty much are you anti-science and technology is that what you are i'm pretty much churning butter

Speaker 2 that's you should live in western pennsylvania

Speaker 2 it's true it's how i feel and it's funny because like that process is still

Speaker 2 a little clunky right you got to connect to bluetooth or you got to plug your phone in and then you're put your on it but like now they have the apple car play

Speaker 2 which is on yeah on my wife has a car within the apple apple car play She plugs the thing in, and it looks so nice. It's on the screen.
It comes up perfectly. All the apps from the front come up.

Speaker 2 It looks all pretty. It's all integrated.

Speaker 2 But for a while, that's the only time I would say that the CDs were used. One of her last cars didn't have all those fancy features and it had a CD player.

Speaker 2 And she got so annoyed at trying to get her phone connected and it would lose the connection and all that stuff that she just started buying the CDs.

Speaker 2 And it was, but like, I don't even, I went to, um, it's funny because we have a, uh,

Speaker 2 we were talking, we were going on a long drive and I I was thinking to myself, we need to get like a movie or something for these kids because they're just you know, they're at that point.

Speaker 2 I have two kids, they're 18 months apart, and typically they're really good together, but at times they get on each other's nerves a tad.

Speaker 2 And on a long drive, that's when it's going to happen, you know. So, I'm like, we've got to get these kids a movie or something.
I think we've got a DVD player or whatever.

Speaker 2 Let's just like put this thing in there. So, so we went to Walmart or Target or something to try to find DVDs.
The section for DVDs now is like it's smaller than like your locker at high school.

Speaker 2 Like, it's like, there's four DVDs. They have two copies each.
Like, it's funny. Like,

Speaker 2 obviously, like, you know,

Speaker 2 what's the things that are outside of like Walgreens, the red.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, Redbox? Redbox, yeah. Yeah.
Red box, they're all over the country. There's still, people are still renting them, but the DVD market is, you know, now you're just downloading these movies.

Speaker 2 This is the whole GameStop controversy, right? When that was going through the roof, everyone's like, well, no one buys physical games anymore.

Speaker 2 How can this company possibly be going up to a hundred and two hundred and three hundred dollars a share right

Speaker 2 it really all that stuff has just been replaced and fast too so quickly i don't think you know glenn has been on this kick for a long time that he always tries to resist this stuff for a while and like i want all how many times has he said this i want all this stuff out of my house i don't even want to be on the internet no i don't want the internet i want all the ipads out of the household on no satellite tv yeah well that my my children know about, but I'm going to have access to it, of course.

Speaker 2 And then they'll find out, and so will they.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 he always wants to get rid of all of his devices,

Speaker 2 with the possible exception of the iPad that is continually attached to his hands at all times. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So is mine. I carry that thing with me wherever I go.
And I don't do the iPad thing, but I do have

Speaker 2 a phone. And

Speaker 2 you try to resist this stuff from this idea that you're just going to get rid of it. And it's really just not possible.
You just, we do not have the capacity.

Speaker 2 And it's weird because we did have the capacity, yes, we've lost it, not to carry stuff around with us wherever we go, like a little blankie when we're, you know, two years old and we have a favorite blanket.

Speaker 2 That's that's what my iPad is to me. I can't go anywhere or do anything without it.
If I accidentally forget it for a second, I'm like, oh my God, am I naked?

Speaker 2 Where's my iPad? Has anybody seen my iPad?

Speaker 2 Where is it?

Speaker 2 It's just ridiculous. So now these

Speaker 2 now, yeah, these devices are listening to everything we do. And apparently not when you just say, hey, Google thing or Amazon thing, turn on.

Speaker 2 They're apparently always recording.

Speaker 2 I mean, and we found that out a couple of years ago and they were like, oh, yeah, but that's just,

Speaker 2 we're learning. That's just to listen to conversation so that we can teach language to these devices.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So they're apparently still doing it, and it just stores it and keeps it.
And there's going to be a lot of people who say, well, I don't care. I ain't doing nothing wrong in my home.

Speaker 2 They're just going to be bored to death to hear what I have to say. Now, you're not the one who decides if what you're doing is wrong or not.
That's the thing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's interesting, too, if you have one of these Amazon ones, I know in particular, you can go into the app and hear all the things it's recorded. Like, you can go in and like hear.
Oh, you can?

Speaker 2 Yeah, like, you can. Have you ever done that? Yeah, it's just, you know, it's kind of funny because, you know, my kids will say things to it.

Speaker 2 They're really funny. Cause they just, they just, they'll just ask, like, you know,

Speaker 2 you know, how old is Bob?

Speaker 2 Because they know someone named Bob, and they just, they just assume Alexa is going to answer all of their questions. Like, legitimately, like,

Speaker 2 they have this idea that, like, if sometimes you'll be in the conversation, there's people like, let me just ask Alexa. And you're like, first of all, Alexa is not going to answer that question.

Speaker 2 That's not how Alexa works. Secondly, why do you think Alexa is smarter than I am? Why don't you, I'm your dad.
You're supposed to, at least until 12, think I'm smart.

Speaker 2 I think that's a rule. Yeah.
And apparently. But they know better already.

Speaker 2 But it is, you see it in them. Like they just like that, well, there's a solution.
It's right there. That little thing that lights up.

Speaker 2 But occasionally they ask really funny and cute questions, and that's what got me started on it. But you can talk about it.

Speaker 2 And you do realize that a lot of times it is, they're not intentional. You'll just hear them just talking in the background.
I don't know why it's turned on.

Speaker 2 You know, maybe there was a word with an X in it, you know, that they said, or a KS, and that sounds a little bit like the name of the Amazon device that we are not saying so that we don't alert everybody's

Speaker 2 and turn it on. And we could order stuff on your Prime account if we wanted to right now, but we will not do that because we're nice.

Speaker 2 But it is one of those things that it turns, it changes so, so fast, and you don't even realize that you, what has happened. I mean, there's just recording devices all over my house, right?

Speaker 2 All over my house. And the things that you wouldn't expect, like the Amazon device and the Google device, you'd think, okay, yeah, well, I can see where that might do it.
But the Google Nest,

Speaker 2 that's recording us too. They've got microphones in the Google Nest.
That's your thermostat control. Why? Why? Why is that listening to me? Why is that recording me? Why is that keeping

Speaker 2 you don't

Speaker 2 talk to it? So why would you need to learn from my language on the google nest

Speaker 2 it's bizarre it's bizarre they also have the nest has these these uh

Speaker 2 smoke detectors

Speaker 2 and they

Speaker 2 i have this has been one of the most annoying the the thing that has annoyed me more than anything about the united states of america is basically the fact that these stupid smoke detectors beep and i can't tell which one it is and yeah i have to change the batteries

Speaker 2 it's the bane of my existence it drives me crazy you'll take the the battery out. It'll keep beeping.
It keeps beeping.

Speaker 2 This is not physically possible. What do I have to take a shotgun to this thing? How do I stop it? They bend the laws of science.
They do.

Speaker 2 There is no battery, and it is not plugged in, and it continues to run like a chicken with its head cut off. Bizarre.
And so I hate these things so much. Me too.
The Nest has them.

Speaker 2 And of course, with the Nest, they'll tell you which one is low on batteries on the app.

Speaker 2 And I don't care if it just continually is taking pictures of me naked and posting them on the internet.

Speaker 2 If it will tell me what battery is low and where I go to change it, I will put them all in my house. I don't care if it's continually making videos of me on the toilet and posting them to

Speaker 2 the New York Times website directly. The rest of us care still.
We care for you. And so we're going to say no.
Okay, well, that particular thing, maybe not, but pretty close.

Speaker 2 That's pretty much where I am. Triple 8, 727, back.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 It's Pat Gray. And Stupergear, you can hear my show right before this one, every weekday from 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 Central, or anytime on podcasts.
And you can get Stew's anytime, anywhere.

Speaker 2 You get your podcast at Stew DoesAmerica. And

Speaker 2 rate and review these, you know, five stars. And then other people will be able to find them.
And I like what you say of

Speaker 2 it, doesn't just help us, it hurts others. Like AOC is really pained when people listen to this podcast.
So you have that satisfaction. Yeah, that's a good way of thinking about it.

Speaker 2 It helps us, but more importantly, it hurts others.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I like that a lot.

Speaker 2 By the way, we were talking about the Google devices and

Speaker 2 Amazon thing. You can turn this function off, apparently.

Speaker 2 And you have to go to for Google Assistant voice recording on a you go to your desktop or a laptop. It's myactivity.google.com

Speaker 2 and make sure you're linked to your Google account, which I don't, I don't even know how I don't remember ever linking to a Google account. I got the dumb nest situation.

Speaker 2 But then from there, you can click on web and app activity, manage activity, filter by date and product, and then voice and audio will come up. And I guess you can delete and turn it off.

Speaker 2 If you turn it off, though, I think your Google assistant won't work properly. So there's that.
That's always really convenient. Because

Speaker 2 if the voice part is turned off, it's not listening to you anymore. And I think you have to turn it back on to get it to listen to you, right?

Speaker 2 Sounds like lots of fun. It does.
It does. But there are ways you can deal with it if you have it.
Or, you know what? Just throw it away. Whatever.
Triple 8727-B-E-C-K. This is the Glenn Back Program.

Speaker 2 With Patton Stewart.

Speaker 2 Glenn returns on Monday.

Speaker 2 On CNN, Brian Stelter had a guest who made some

Speaker 2 outrageous climate change claims.

Speaker 2 comparing it to the Holocaust.

Speaker 2 We'll tell you about that and a lot more more coming up in one minute.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727,

Speaker 2 B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 This is serious. I mean,

Speaker 2 if you haven't been taking climate change seriously until now, I certainly hope this will change your attitude on it. Yeah,

Speaker 2 this is chilling.

Speaker 2 Brian Stelter had

Speaker 2 David Wallace Wells on. And when you have a hyphenated last name like that, you know they're a serious person.
They're a real expert. Or you're an assassin.
Or that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there's two things with the three names. You can either be a very serious person or an assassin.
Or lately you're in the National Football League. There's a lot of hyphenated names.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So David Wallace Wells

Speaker 2 is quoting estimates that suggest burning of fossil fuels kills 10 million people

Speaker 2 every year.

Speaker 2 Which, which, of course, as he mentioned, is dying on the scale of the Holocaust. How do these people get away with this stuff? I don't know.
Where's the ADL on this? Where, where,

Speaker 2 where?

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 we,

Speaker 2 I mean, when Glenn was defending

Speaker 2 people in Israel

Speaker 2 and would mention something about Nazis or compare what's going on now to what, you know, that we're on the same road or you got to be careful. They would call him out every single time.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 No, if it's climate, it's okay, I guess. Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 2 And he says, and yet we don't see many public health stories. We don't see many moral crisis stories addressed to that issue.
We don't?

Speaker 2 Are you blind? That's all we see. And by the way, is there any thought, and this is a, I don't know, I don't have an answer to this, Pat.
I'm not a scientist.

Speaker 2 But do we think that fossil fuels have done anything to help people stay alive?

Speaker 2 Is there another side to this equation? Let's not even bother

Speaker 2 attacking the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels kill 10 million people a year. I'm quite certain that fossil fuels help maintain the lives of way more than 1 million people a year.
What would happen?

Speaker 2 Go back in time to the pre-fossil fuel era and tell me. In fact, we don't have to go back in time.

Speaker 2 You can find it in billions of people's lives all across the globe right now who are burning things like dried dung inside their home to cook their food. And that's not good?

Speaker 2 No, many of them are dying. It's one of the largest problems.
There's dried dung deaths and wood and biomass inside their homes. It's killing more people than almost anything in the world.

Speaker 2 So, but let's let's criticize fossil fuels

Speaker 2 who have eliminated that problem for multiple billions of people.

Speaker 2 Stelter began this by saying that meteorologists and journalists are running out of words and ways to describe the impact of climate change. Yeah, they are.
Unprecedented just doesn't cut it anymore.

Speaker 2 Nor does invisible.

Speaker 2 It's true, because this is the problem

Speaker 2 with an issue like global warming if you're an alarmist. You make alarmist claims

Speaker 2 and you have to say they're coming soon or no one cares, right? Because people are, you know, it's just the human instinct, right? If you say 500 years from now, this could happen. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 2 So you can't say it like that. You have to say it's within some sort of timeframe and you can't say it's tomorrow because everyone will know it didn't happen.
Right.

Speaker 2 So you say it's out in the future and feel like you won't have to pay the price when you're wrong in the future. Although this is in the present.

Speaker 2 He is claiming, and it's hard to track this down because how do you track down the 10 million people die every year from climate change?

Speaker 2 Where are you getting that stat? Where is that coming from? Yeah. Because I made that estimate.
And based on what?

Speaker 2 This is another example of how they do it in the climate, but often you'll hear estimates of how many people will die in heat waves because of the climate.

Speaker 2 Climate change is coming, going to kill people in heat waves. What, of course, is always left out of this equation is the fact that far more people die from cold than they do from heat.

Speaker 2 Oh, so everywhere.

Speaker 2 If you're just talking about heat deaths, those are way outweighed by people who are not dying from cold. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 2 So, and this has been, this is in all the UN IPCC documentation. This is not something I'm making up.

Speaker 2 This is something scientists say all the time that for certainly a long period of time, the cold deaths avoided will far outweigh the new deaths caused by heat.

Speaker 2 But if you go on Brian Stelter's show or any CNN show and say,

Speaker 2 just say the heat number, no one's going to question it. No one's going to mention the other side of the equation.
I mean,

Speaker 2 how can any coherent person not see that fossil fuels are one of the things that have brought us modern civilization?

Speaker 2 The fact that we've gone from

Speaker 2 we've doubled our life expectancy over the past, you know, 100 to a couple hundred years.

Speaker 2 If there's one thing you'd point to, you might point to fossil fuels as the difference in between us doubling our life expectancy. There's been other things, and those things are important as well.

Speaker 2 But fossil fuels are a huge piece of this.

Speaker 2 Even if you accept the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year, it would still be worth it. Yeah.
Oh, well, yeah.

Speaker 2 Because we've gone, I mean, we've added billions of people. And by the way, look at the people who are arguing against that.

Speaker 2 The people who didn't want it to happen are the same people who are now telling you that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year.

Speaker 2 The people who didn't want the extra billions of people on the planet. They kept telling you we'd all die if they came.

Speaker 2 And here we are.

Speaker 2 You know, this has been, we've been able to feed all of them against all of their advice. We've been able to keep, extend life against all of their advice and warning.

Speaker 2 And when these claims come up later on, no one holds them accountable.

Speaker 2 When they are wrong, it's left to us, Talk Radio on Earth Day, to bring out all the wrong quotes from 20 years ago or 30 years ago or 10 years ago. And that is a, it's an unbelievable situation.

Speaker 2 It's great work if you can find it because you can make all these spectacular claims, raise all your money and never be held accountable to answer for when you're wrong ever. Right.
And if I may,

Speaker 2 just add one little addendum to the fossil fuel thing. I don't believe they are fossil fuels.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, this is a big Pat Day Pat Gray's position. It's my theory

Speaker 2 that oil is a recurring natural goo in the earth.

Speaker 2 The scientific term is recurring natural goo.

Speaker 2 There are some scientists who believe this. They're always obviously referred to as fossil fuels.

Speaker 2 The idea that they come from fossils from long ago. But

Speaker 2 you've stood on this for a while, and there are scientists who believe it.

Speaker 2 The first time they started talking about peak oil was in 1920. Yeah, we're right up on peak oil here.
It's about to run out. Okay, well, that didn't happen because we found way more reserves.

Speaker 2 Then it was the 40s. Oh, we're coming right up on peak oil again.
There's not going to be any. We better find something else.
And then they found more.

Speaker 2 And then in the 60s, oh, it's coming right up on peak oil. And peak oil, look it up.
It's been over and over and over and over. And now it's just to the point where we found so much that we are now,

Speaker 2 we now have more oil and gas reserves than any country on earth. And the peak oil thing is very similar to the environmental thing.

Speaker 2 They continually warn about all these terrible things that are going to happen. They don't happen.
And then they just say, well, now we know better.

Speaker 2 If you actually get in a conversation with an environmentalist and you bring up the quotes from the 70s, 80s, the 90s, where they're totally wrong.

Speaker 2 They will just say, well, yeah, but I mean, it's been 20 years. We've learned a lot since then.
It's like, but yeah, but then you never have to pay a price for your wrong statements.

Speaker 2 To understand that you set up a system in which only you can tell us that you're wrong. Remember when you said Britain was going to be gone, like underwater by 2000? Yeah, that didn't happen.

Speaker 2 If I'm not mistaken, Britain is still there. Remember when you said the Westside Highway in New York City is going to be gone completely underwater?

Speaker 2 People are driving on it today, right now. Exactly.
Let me give you this one.

Speaker 2 This is from the New York Times in 1995. They say, quote, at the most likely

Speaker 2 rate of rise, some experts say most of the beaches on the east coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years.

Speaker 2 That would be 2020.

Speaker 2 Now, if you're on the East Coast, perhaps you could do some reporting for us today. Are there beaches there?

Speaker 2 Do beaches exist on the east coast of America? My understanding is that they do. I was on the East Coast at a beach in 2020.
Oh. And and it was still there.
Now, I don't know.

Speaker 2 Maybe they just got it off by year and they've disappeared in the last couple of months since I've been there. But my understanding is that beaches still exist on the East Coast of the United States.

Speaker 2 No one, the New York Times doesn't write a follow-up about this story. They don't come back later on and say, by the way, do you believe we wrote this thing 25 years ago? Isn't this funny?

Speaker 2 Like they do with the internet. Occasionally you'll see this, like they'll be like, look at our stupid article from 1991 about the internet and how it won't make any difference, right?

Speaker 2 Like Like they'll come back and revisit. They don't do that with climate.
They only do it to excuse the reasons why they were actually right all of this time.

Speaker 2 And actually, it's worse than they even said back then.

Speaker 2 Let me give you another one of more recent. All right.
Do we have time for this? Yeah. Okay.
So

Speaker 2 what was the panic before COVID? Can you remember the panic that occurred before COVID? It's hard to remember this panic because there's been a lot of panicking during COVID.

Speaker 2 But before COVID, one of the more recent panics was in the summer of 2000, between 2019 and 2020, where Australia was on fire. Yeah.
Do you remember this? This was the big thing. Australia is on fire.

Speaker 2 The whole country is burning down. It's because of global warming.
No one's ever seen anything like this. There were fundraisers on television like crazy.
No one had ever seen

Speaker 2 such a terrible thing happen to Australia, and it's all because you're driving an SUV.

Speaker 2 So now,

Speaker 2 months and months later, we have the actual data from the Australian fires.

Speaker 2 Now, you can understand why maybe people aren't focusing on that with all this COVID going around, but it's important to revisit these things when we get the data.

Speaker 2 So, during the 20th century, about every year in Australia, about 10% of the surface area catches on fire. Every year.
Yes, throughout the 20th century, that's average, about 10%.

Speaker 2 Now, we are told, of course, that global warming is going to make this much, much worse,

Speaker 2 obviously. Well, in the 21st century so far, the number has been, instead of 10,

Speaker 2 6. So it's gone from 10% to 6%.
It's fallen by 40% in the 21st century. Now, we are told.
that global warming is going to make these things much, much worse.

Speaker 2 Now, obviously, 2019 and 2020 was a terrible year, as we know. This is the year that it was really, really bad and worse than ever before.
48%. Yeah, and it wasn't 10%, wasn't 6%.

Speaker 2 in 2019. 29, somewhere in there.
No. No.
3.95% of the country burned. It was one of the lowest percentages on record in history.

Speaker 2 We have the chart up here if you happen to be watching Blazetv.com/slash Glenn. Promo code is Glenn, by the way, if you want to save some cash.

Speaker 2 But basically, we're showing the actual amount of it falling from about 10, 11, 12% in the early part of the 20th century down to

Speaker 2 3.95%.

Speaker 2 Incredible. Now, now climatologists do say that there will be an increase in these fires, whether they're right or not, who knows.

Speaker 2 But if you see, Pat, if you can see, they had the line here a second ago with the yellow line on the chart. You see, the yellow line is the predictions of what's coming in the future.

Speaker 2 Now, the past is a giant decrease from these really high levels down to 3.95%.

Speaker 2 And basically what the climate, all the climate models are predicting are for it to rise slightly from this really low period in history.

Speaker 2 So basically what they're saying is instead of it being 4% or 5% like it is now, it may go up to 6%.

Speaker 2 But 6% is still half of what it used to be.

Speaker 2 And that, of course, doesn't include all of the innovations and things we will learn to fight the fires and lower the overall burn.

Speaker 2 Long story short, is that these things are presented as catastrophes, and they're not even back to half as bad as it used to be.

Speaker 2 The only difference between the fires in Australia in 2019 and 2020 is they occurred closer to where people lived. They're started by lightning,

Speaker 2 and that lightning hit areas that were closer to where people lived, so they noticed them more. And lightning only happens because of climate change.
No, lightning didn't happen in the past, right?

Speaker 2 No. No?

Speaker 2 Not true. By the way, the global, do we have the, yeah, this is a global area burn from 1901 to 1920.

Speaker 2 Same story, right, right pat i mean you see the drop is dramatic huge it's been dropping much faster since 2000 and this is all opposite the opposite of what they told us would happen with climate change it's unbelievable triple eight seven two seven b e c k

Speaker 2 Patton Stewford, Glenn, today.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 the global warming situation, the climate change situation is incredible because they tell us these, a lot of these experts just tell us from time to time what they're doing.

Speaker 2 And they admit that, yeah,

Speaker 2 we got to be a larmist to get people activated here and to help them understand how dire this situation is. So we don't mind telling them

Speaker 2 it's worse than it really is. I mean,

Speaker 2 they admit to that from time to time.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 on CNN with Brian Stelter, this David Wallace Wells said the media must remain in an alarmist state while reporting on climate change.

Speaker 2 We can't shy away from scary projections about the future or the scary facts as we're living them today.

Speaker 2 Start thinking a little harder, be a little clearer in our storytelling.

Speaker 2 Learning to live in this new future, which will continue to get worse, probably considerably worse from here, is not just going to require decarbonizing, although that's very hard.

Speaker 2 So, what they're trying to do is really shut down economies across the planet. And

Speaker 2 it's despicable what is happening.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 they are just ramping up the rhetoric here to try to scare people. And the people they're scaring are our kids.

Speaker 2 They're just scared out of their minds because they're getting this indoctrination in the school system. And then they turn on media and see it there.

Speaker 2 And they wholeheartedly believe that the world is going to end in 10 years. And nobody,

Speaker 2 no legitimate person is actually saying that.

Speaker 2 As Michael Schellenberger mentioned in his book, Apocalypse Never, as he's trying to calm down these

Speaker 2 alarmist people and say that

Speaker 2 there's nobody who's really, there's no reasonable person

Speaker 2 who is making the statement that the world is on the edge of extinction. That's just not.
That's not true. Nobody is saying that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think it was Michael Schellenberger's book where they go over some of these extreme environmentalist groups and talk about why, how they're saying. He actually just interviews them.

Speaker 2 He actually interviews the people from these organizations. What I loved about him is that he went to the people that everybody was citing.
Yeah. Well, the

Speaker 2 IPCC says that. And so he went to the IPCC.
He went to find the actual scientists who they say said it. And he talked to them.
The actual scientist. And he asked them.

Speaker 2 And they said, thank you so much for coming to ask me. No, that's not true at all.
That's not what I said. They They really liked it.
You should have never said that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Legitimately, multiple times in this book. Multiple times.
He actually goes to the scientists. And, you know, Michael Schellenberger is not us.
He's not Pat and Stew. He's not Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 No, he's not. He's not from the Black.

Speaker 2 He's been doing it for 30 years. He's been an activist for this for a very long time.
On the other side, really. Yeah.
And so he has real credibility with many of these scientists

Speaker 2 who are familiar with his work over the years. And the book is fantastic.

Speaker 2 But he goes and he talks to these people and he's saying, says, like, hey, like, everyone's saying that you said we're all going to die in 10 years. Did you say that?

Speaker 2 And they're like, thank you for asking me. No, I didn't say that.
Like, it's that, it's that clear. Yeah, it is.
It's that clear.

Speaker 2 It's the actual people the media is citing about these claims who tell Michael Schellenberger routinely, over and over again, that

Speaker 2 they did not say that. They did not mean that.
They're taken out of context. That's not, this is being misused by everybody.
It really is an incredible thing.

Speaker 2 Of course, does that get any media coverage? No. How?

Speaker 2 How? Is my question. It's a good question.

Speaker 2 And it doesn't fit their agenda.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 2 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenbeck program, 888-727-BECK.

Speaker 2 Stu Berger may have convinced me

Speaker 2 to

Speaker 2 go ahead and

Speaker 2 break down. I don't know.
Perhaps get the vaccine. Oh, no.
I would never. I don't.
Now, if I grow a tail or a third eye from this thing, you know,

Speaker 2 or drop dead 15 minutes after. Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I was just going to drop dead. I'm pretty sure it will be the vaccine.
Now, I. So you'll be to blame

Speaker 2 and you'll need to, first of all, exploit my death,

Speaker 2 but also admit to the fact that you killed me. Now, do you, do you, do you think it's, would you use the word blame or credit? What What word would you use?

Speaker 2 Well, I would use the word blame. Others may

Speaker 2 take credit.

Speaker 2 Look, there's a lot of people out there that are trying to take you out. And maybe I'm working for one of them.
Yeah, you have a lot of enemies.

Speaker 2 That is possible. Yes, that's true.
It's been a long, you've had a long career.

Speaker 2 You've pissed off a lot of people. A lot of people.
Really, it only takes one of them to get to me to encourage you to do something that's going to make you explode. Yeah.
And maybe I've done that.

Speaker 2 You came up with a lot of statistics because I said during the course of the show yesterday that I am among the those who could be convinced to receive the vaccine. I'm not anti-vax.

Speaker 2 No, you've never been, you've never been

Speaker 2 hesitant about it because we get stories every day about people who've had some sort of side effect. And it, you know, it causes you pause.
Well, not you, because you already got the vaccine.

Speaker 2 But since I said yesterday on the air that I'm persuadable, you came up with all these stats

Speaker 2 research on this

Speaker 2 you did a little research didn't you now is this from a show you've done because you've

Speaker 2 no i mean parts of it have been from shows that i've done uh but

Speaker 2 i just laid out a case like i just feel like you know look there are two sides to this

Speaker 2 you know i know you get the side from uh your wonderful producer who i love keith uh who basically gives you a youtube video every day uh to convince one that at least

Speaker 2 at some point you're going to have a tail or something,

Speaker 2 probably a metallic tail, from what I understand. Yes.
And I just think that, you know. I will stick to the theory that, or not the theory, but the evidence that

Speaker 2 magnets will stick to people's vaccination site. Some people's.
Okay. Because I've seen it.
Okay. I've seen it.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Now, I,

Speaker 2 as we know, of course, President Trump led this effort. It was a big part part of his reelection campaign.

Speaker 2 I just heard an interview with him the other day where he was still talking about how proud he was of developing the vaccines that are wiping the pandemic off the map. And he was also vaccinated.

Speaker 2 And he was. That's an important thing to know.
It is. President Trump does not have a tale from my understanding, though someone did accuse him of wearing his pants backward.

Speaker 2 Maybe that is why he was doing it.

Speaker 2 And now there's no evidence. It's a delayed reaction from the vaccine.

Speaker 2 And it was just a one-day thing. It could be.
Maybe. Yes.

Speaker 2 Well, actually,

Speaker 2 what I said to you in the email was not necessarily even a case for the average person to go get the vaccine. Just that you're not going to be able to do that.
No, you were targeting me.

Speaker 2 You are uniquely not a borderline case. Right.
Because you are, first of all, not a spring chicken anymore.

Speaker 2 Number one,

Speaker 2 his big and bold

Speaker 2 number one point. You're not as young and supple as you used to be.
Right. And I don't want to say that you're not supple at all.
I mean, you're certainly supple at some level.

Speaker 2 Just not as supple as I I want to be. Not quite as supple as you used to be.
All right.

Speaker 2 And that's just saying, like, you might still be above average in the amount of supple that you are, but you were maybe a little higher.

Speaker 2 So I love how you note that I'm, you know, somebody in my age group, 50 to 64,

Speaker 2 is 440 times as likely to die as a younger person.

Speaker 2 Thank you. That is true.
Now, as you've noted correctly, by the way, and we've made this point a million times,

Speaker 2 your chances of dying if you're a young person are not high, right?

Speaker 2 We just know that when you're an older person, they are high. Yes.
Right.

Speaker 2 But still, someone in your age group is about as likely to die, about one-third as likely to die, one-third, as someone in, like, their 70s.

Speaker 2 Now, again, you're not a spring chicken anymore. You know, people keep throwing out.
I'm not in my 70s. You're not in your 70s, but you know how dangerous it is for people in their 70s.

Speaker 2 And if it was just your age, maybe you could make an argument. But it's not.
And that then comes point number two,

Speaker 2 which he actually alleges that I'm somewhat athletically overweight. That's a tad.
I'm just saying that.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 Wow. Maybe, and I put myself in the same category here.
We're not exactly

Speaker 2 not in peak physical condition. Perhaps.
Perhaps. Perhaps.
I'm just throwing that out there. But as everyone knows, if you're a little athletically overweight,

Speaker 2 you got a a worse chance. You have a worse chance.
With COVID. No, you in particular, number three,

Speaker 2 I think is an obvious point that many in the audience may not deal with.

Speaker 2 This.

Speaker 2 You've had, you know,

Speaker 2 cancer.

Speaker 2 Thank you

Speaker 2 for that reminder. I thought you might have forgotten.
Thus the, you know, the scar here and here.

Speaker 2 But like, it's not like you've had one kind of cancer. No, I've had, I have two.
Two kinds of cancer. Two kinds, like two different brands of cancer.
It's not just the one delivery of cancer.

Speaker 2 You've had like both the McDonald's and the Burger King of cancer. Yes.
You have two different kinds. Now, I didn't calculate the odds of your situation with multiple kinds of cancer.

Speaker 2 No, but you did just combine the three factors above. The not being as supple.
So my age group. Your age group.
Weight. Your weight.
And health issue. And, you know, your cancer.

Speaker 2 So Pat Gray's survival rate is about the same as an average 75 to 80-year-old.

Speaker 2 Thank you. Thank you.
So that's. It's not great, Pat.
That's not great. That's not great news.

Speaker 2 It's not great news. No, it isn't.
So, I mean, I think like we always talk about this, and I think the conservatives have talked about this for a long time.

Speaker 2 And that, you know, look, people should be able to make their own decisions. Maybe the most vulnerable should be the ones getting the vaccine first and protecting themselves.

Speaker 2 And maybe you leave a supple 27-year-old to make their decision, and it might be a little bit different. You, however,

Speaker 2 because of your additional effects, are actually a much older person. You should think of yourself as an 80.

Speaker 2 I should be thinking 80. I'm Pat Gray.
I'm an 80-year-old. Should I get the COVID vaccine? I think that should change your mind a little bit, or at least change your perspective a little bit.

Speaker 2 Which brings us to point number four. It's not just death we have to think about here,

Speaker 2 it's hospitalization and getting a really severe case of it, right? Yeah. And I think I have between a 15 and 35% chance of being hospitalized if I get COVID.
Thank you, Stu. You're welcome.

Speaker 2 You should. It's really good.
And look, you probably will survive it. That's the good news.
You'll probably just go to the hospital after a really rough stretch.

Speaker 2 Yes, it'll suck, but you'll probably walk out at the end. So good on you.

Speaker 2 Then number five, point number five,

Speaker 2 you're way less likely to die from the vaccine than from COVID. Yes, this is true, especially for you.
I mean, you're a freaking disaster, as we've covered.

Speaker 2 Sweet of you to say. Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm just trying to help.

Speaker 2 There have been false reports of up to 3,000 people dying from the vaccine. This is not true.

Speaker 2 You say. It is not true.
It is not true. But even.

Speaker 2 I've actually heard it's 4,000, 4,000 to 6,000. No? No, no.
This is, I mean, we could go through all the details of this. Well, what about the VARES portion of the CDC website?

Speaker 2 Well, currently, UnVARES, there is a case of a one-year-old who got the vaccine. And that one-year-old then died.
And that's terrible, right? It is.

Speaker 2 The one problem, or multiple problems, is one-year-olds can't get the vaccine. It would be illegal.
And secondly, the way they died is they committed suicide with a gun. Now, most one-year-olds? Yes.

Speaker 2 So the Ethereum.

Speaker 2 They don't get that depressed at one. No.

Speaker 2 You know, they're usually more optimistic, I found at one. But this particular one-year-old somehow weaseled their way to get the vaccine and then shot themselves with a gun in suicide.

Speaker 2 How did that show up on the Veriswear website? The Veris thing is basically like, I mean, look, there's really good uses for Veriswear.

Speaker 2 It's not a terrible system, and it helps you catch some of these side effects, but also anyone can submit anything.

Speaker 2 So, like, there's been cases where people have submitted that I took a vaccine and it turned me into the incredible Hulk, and that made it onto the Veris website. Legitimately, the Incredible Hulk.

Speaker 2 Those words.

Speaker 2 You know, anybody can do it. And obviously, there's a lot of passion on both sides about the vaccines thing.
I mean, I'm not trying to, you know,

Speaker 2 all that. My point, though, is that even, let's just say it was 4,000 to 6,000 in the same time period, 250,000 people died from COVID.
Yeah. Right?

Speaker 2 Like, it's not, again, you can make a different argument if you maybe are like me and had COVID-19 and I am a COVID-19 survivor. If you are a young person, like there's other arguments.

Speaker 2 When you're Pat Gray, who's basically you should now think of as an 80-year-old, Pat Gray, eight decades into life. Wow, yeah.
You know, it's a different calculation, I think.

Speaker 2 And that's why, by the way, and we have a lot of seasoned, well-seasoned audience members out there

Speaker 2 who might be over 65, over 65 in this particular country. We're at 88.4% vaccinated.
I mean, most people realize if you're in that age group,

Speaker 2 you're probably going to wind up doing it.

Speaker 2 Point number six from Stupor Gear, your risk from the vaccine is far lower than your risk from COVID, even if you factor in the possibility you might luck out and avoid the virus.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because I think there's a thing of okay, I know that the vaccine is less, it's not bad for me in comparison to actually getting COVID, but I don't have COVID. Maybe I'll avoid it, right?

Speaker 2 Which I have so far, right? You have, we've avoided it this entire time.

Speaker 2 If you factor in the risk that you will not get it, you're still 239 times as likely to go to the ICU than to have a serious harm from the vaccine. 239 times.
Now,

Speaker 2 that includes the idea that serious harms from the vaccine, which they're comparing this to,

Speaker 2 is an allergic reaction to a very typical vaccine ingredient, which, if you've never, I don't know how much you've been vaccinated in the past, but if you've never had a reaction like that before, you're unlikely to have it now.

Speaker 2 But this is why, if anyone who's out there who's got the vaccine, they make you sit around for about 15 minutes afterward to make sure what ingredient is it that people are allergic to.

Speaker 2 I don't have the name of it in front of me.

Speaker 2 But that's what I've wondered because I've never seen what's actually in the vaccine.

Speaker 2 And so I could, I mean, I'd have to look at it. I'd have to.
They think it's just a particular, one particular ingredient. It's even the major

Speaker 2 serious harms.

Speaker 2 This particular study that I'm talking about was from the AstraZeneca

Speaker 2 situation, which is very similar to the Johnson and Johnson one that we have here. With blood clots.
Same thing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the blood clots.

Speaker 2 That was the effect of

Speaker 2 that was mostly young women who had that issue. And now that they know about it, luckily, they're able to treat it really easily.
It's not a difficult thing to treat if it pops up.

Speaker 2 It pops up about seven in a million cases.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 so it's very, very incredibly rare, obviously, but still something to be concerned about. I mean, look, you should always be concerned about any particular side effect.

Speaker 2 However, these numbers, 239 times as likely to go to the ICU,

Speaker 2 is of the belief, number one,

Speaker 2 that it is, we are at rates, even with our low rates here in the United States of spread at this moment, we're still double what this study looked at.

Speaker 2 So we have high, it's more than 239 times as likely. In addition to that,

Speaker 2 one of the things that I think has been hidden among, and this is a positive, by the way, been hidden among the great decrease in numbers, 95% in deaths have dropped since our peaks here in the United States.

Speaker 2 Those only, that measures everybody. So the rates have gone way down for the country, but a good chunk of the reason for that is about 90% of our elderly have been vaccinated.

Speaker 2 So they're not dying as much. Cases,

Speaker 2 you know, two-thirds of adults have been vaccinated. So there's not as many cases out there.
The rates among people who don't have the vaccine are still pretty, pretty, uh, pretty decent.

Speaker 2 I mean, they're not, they're not nearly as low as you think they are. Because

Speaker 2 almost all the people who are getting COVID and having issues with it are the people who do not have the vaccine at this point. And that was my belief.
And again, I understand.

Speaker 2 And it's important to note to everyone, and Pat, you'll back me up on this, I think. I do not believe the government should be mandating this.

Speaker 2 I do not want Joe Biden coming door to door to tell me how wonderful it is. I don't want any of that crap.
Leave us alone. Let us make our own decisions.
But

Speaker 2 that being said, right now,

Speaker 2 We have two groups in this country, people who've had the vaccine, people who haven't had the vaccine. They're about 50-50 splits, roughly.
I mean, it's not exactly 50-50, but it's about 50-50.

Speaker 2 Right now,

Speaker 2 99.2% of the deaths are people who are unvaccinated. 99.2% of the deaths.
Again, these are equal groups of people. And hospitalizations: 99.9%

Speaker 2 of people in the hospital are unvaccinated.

Speaker 2 If you've been vaccinated and you get COVID-19,

Speaker 2 the vaccine usually

Speaker 2 causes

Speaker 2 the virus to do less damage. Yes, right? It's less severe.
Yeah. And like, you know, it's tough because cases are weird, as we've noted from the beginning, right?

Speaker 2 Some people, I had an asymptomatic case of COVID. So like I, I might not have known if not for certain circumstances, mainly the person who gave it to me finding out they tested positive.

Speaker 2 So I had to get a test, right? I probably wouldn't even have known.

Speaker 2 But and so cases are difficult. But if you go to the hospital, they're going to know whether you're vaccinated or not.

Speaker 2 You're going to, you're going to have the vaccination records, it's going to be in your health records, they're going to know.

Speaker 2 And so, when people get hospitalized for COVID, they're finding out 99.9% of them are unvaccinated. Wow.

Speaker 2 So, again, it's up to you to take risks on both sides of this, but I just wanted to harass Pat because it was your fault. You're the one that said you were persuadable.
And you did. Triple 8 727BECK.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 It's Pat and Stuart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 888-727-BECK. Where do you stand on the Britney Spears theme now? Did you watch the New York Times documentary on you? Yeah, I did too.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 They just made you feel really bad for anything you've ever said about Britney Spears, basically. Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Shorts are a lot. Including the things that they said about Britney Spears, by the way, at the time.

Speaker 2 Exactly, which is everybody mentioned, but yeah. Everybody was tough on that.
A lot of those stories now come back with new eyes and don't look quite as simple.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but apparently, according to lawyers, it's almost impossible to get out of these. This is the Glenback Program.

Speaker 2 San Francisco. Oh, what a beautiful city.

Speaker 2 Man, do they run that city well, too?

Speaker 2 They've got their finger on the pulse of what makes a great, a city great. And we'll get into some of the greatness of San Francisco and what's going on there coming up in 60 seconds.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday right before this or anytime, anywhere you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 Stu has a show as well, which is called

Speaker 2 Stu Does America. That's right.

Speaker 2 That's what I do every night. Every night I'm doing you, America, and you can be there for it.
It's really enjoyable, I promise.

Speaker 2 Because it doesn't sometimes people are not willing to be done. And usually that's criminal.
But in this particular case, it's okay.

Speaker 2 I've got a pass from the government. Wow.

Speaker 2 It's all compensation. That's good.
There you go. All right.
You can get the shows, by the way, on the YouTube pages as well. YouTube.com slash studosamerica.
I assume.

Speaker 2 Is it youtube.com slash pad unleashed? Just search for Pat Gray Unleashed and you'll find it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. Target and Walgreens are making some drastic changes.
We talked about this a little bit yesterday,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 according to the California Retailers Association, three cities in California are among the top 10 in the country when it comes to organized retail crime. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento.

Speaker 2 Already they're seeing the negative impact that...

Speaker 2 Things are that San Francisco is experiencing with stores permanently shutting down or closing early because they can't keep their merchandise in the store.

Speaker 2 And it's not because people are paying for it and leaving with it. They're just leaving with it and not paying for it.
It's like 100% off sale at Neiman Marcus and Target stores and Walgreens.

Speaker 2 And Target has now acknowledged that San Francisco is the only city in America where they've decided to close some stores early because of the escalating retail crime.

Speaker 2 For more than a month, they've seen a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at their San Francisco stores.

Speaker 2 And Target's not the only store in San Francisco making these drastic changes because of the continual shoplifting.

Speaker 2 After 10 o'clock, 7-Eleven in San Francisco, in multiple locations, is shutting down, or you have to ring first, you ring a bell to let somebody know that you're coming in, and then they let you in.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 between

Speaker 2 this and the human excrement on the streets and the sidewalks, you know, the piles of poop, human poop, and the homeless tents and the homeless cities. I wonder if San Franciscan

Speaker 2 residents are starting to think, huh, should we try something else?

Speaker 2 We've been doing it the Democrat way

Speaker 2 for

Speaker 2 60 years

Speaker 2 and it doesn't seem to be paying dividends. I wonder if maybe we should try something else.

Speaker 2 I always always thought this was a fascinating thing.

Speaker 2 You know, President Trump said this type of thing over and over again during the campaign, and I think in 2016, but certainly as we approached 2020, like, what about trying something else?

Speaker 2 Like, it doesn't seem like a crazy point here. No, it doesn't.
We all recognize that many of these areas have been massive, continual, systemic,

Speaker 2 chronic failures. Yeah.
And

Speaker 2 they've all been governed by the same party the whole time.

Speaker 2 Name a city that has a really serious problem like San Francisco does with crime and quality of life diminishing and maybe even huge swaths of city being taken over by some other element like Antifa.

Speaker 2 And what do they all have in common?

Speaker 2 They're all Democrat-run cities, every single one of them. Yeah.
Wouldn't you get the hint after a while? Wouldn't you say, hey,

Speaker 2 maybe we shouldn't have a Democrat mayor and a Democrat city council and Democrats running every aspect of this city? Maybe we should try something else.

Speaker 2 It's incredible to me that they don't come to that conclusion because

Speaker 2 they just did a poll of San Franciscans and the Chamber of Commerce shows eight out of 10 residents. consider crime worse and the quality of life has declined.

Speaker 2 70% feel the quality of life has declined in San Francisco. That's huge.
So that's not just Republicans saying, yeah, I mean, this city is starting to suck.

Speaker 2 Around 88% of people said homelessness has worsened. 80% view addressing this homeless crisis as a high priority.

Speaker 2 60%

Speaker 2 believe it should be a high priority for San Francisco to maintain funding for police academy classes in order to recruit younger,

Speaker 2 diverse, progressive members to replace those who have retired or left the San Francisco Police Department.

Speaker 2 76% say it should be a high priority for the city to increase the number of police officers in high crime neighborhoods. 82%

Speaker 2 want more caseworkers on the streets to help individuals suffering from mental illness. That might be a good idea.
74% support providing more temporary shelter for homeless individuals.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 maybe it's time for a change in San Francisco. Maybe.
Maybe. I don't know.

Speaker 2 I often go back to, and I was, as you were talking, I was trying to remember what the exact stat was, and I found it here. It's this an inconvenient book.
So it's Glenn's first,

Speaker 2 I think it was his first number one New York Times bestseller. So it goes back a ways now, but I would say, I think that came out in, what, 2006, 2007, something like that.

Speaker 2 But if you think back to those days, since then, we haven't exactly seen an explosion of big cities run by Republicans. Would you agree with that analysis? Yes.
Okay.

Speaker 2 So this is just going back to 2006 or 2007.

Speaker 2 And this is the percentage of time

Speaker 2 these cities were run by Republicans since 1965. Okay.
Now, I didn't, these are not a random collection of cities.

Speaker 2 These cities are

Speaker 2 the cities with the worst poverty rates at the time. Oh, and that's not too much change in these, I don't think.
They may have reordered, reshuffled a little bit, but we get the point here.

Speaker 2 So, New Orleans, since 1965, 0% of the time has been run

Speaker 2 by Republicans.

Speaker 2 Philadelphia, 0% of the time.

Speaker 2 Newark,

Speaker 2 0% of the time. Milwaukee,

Speaker 2 0% of the time. Cincinnati, 19% of the time since 1965, run by a Republican.
St. Louis, 0% of the time.
Buffalo, 0% of the time. Atlanta.
Wow. 0% of the time.
Miami, 31% of the time.

Speaker 2 And I believe Miami currently has a Republican mayor as well. Detroit, 0% of the time.
And why is that in my name?

Speaker 2 Probably the Cuban population that want to try something different because they've been through this stuff in Cuba and they understand it. And so they're like, hey, let's go a different way.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And it works 31% of the time. To give you the grand total here, Republicans have run the cities with the worst poverty problems in America only 8% of the time since 1965.

Speaker 2 And that is a stat that is now 15 years old. So, in that time, we've seen Democrats running those cities for even longer periods of time.
So, that number is a little too high at 8%.

Speaker 2 I'm not, you could even argue that Republicans don't have the right answers, but you can't argue you should continue doing what the left wants you to do.

Speaker 2 Obviously, these policies fail over and over and over again. They continue to

Speaker 2 create

Speaker 2 and maintain a status of horrific poverty, crime, and so much more.

Speaker 2 It is a constant struggle for the people in these cities to avoid the worst outcomes in our society. And it's a large part because of progressive policies.
that have destroyed these cities.

Speaker 2 They weren't always like this. Detroit wasn't always like this.
Well, Detroit was a wealthy city at one point, a thriving city

Speaker 2 that was one of the best cities in the world. And look what Democrat leadership has done to it since, what, 1960, 65, somewhere in there.

Speaker 2 It's been run, I bet, continuously by Democrats since then.

Speaker 2 Is Democrat one of them that you mentioned that hasn't been run by Republicans at all?

Speaker 2 I don't know if that was on the list.

Speaker 2 I think the only list list was the poverty, was just who was at the top of the poverty list at that moment, though a lot of these cities have become worse in that time.

Speaker 2 You know, it is

Speaker 2 you don't have to necessarily embrace every part of the Republican platform. And we should point out a lot of the Republicans that

Speaker 2 were included in these areas.

Speaker 2 You know, like, you know, one city has 30%

Speaker 2 of the time it's been run by Republicans. That's not exactly going to be like the Republican that would please us, right? Like if you said, who's what governors have there been of Massachusetts?

Speaker 2 Well, there's been some Republican governors of Massachusetts, but they're not exactly the Louisiana. Mitt Romney, of course.

Speaker 2 But they're not exactly the ones that maybe are policy-wise are consistent with what we would have

Speaker 2 in every situation. Arnold Schwarzenegger in California, for a reason.
Exactly. Yeah.
I mean, we know Maryland has a Republican governor right now.

Speaker 2 Massachusetts has another Republican governor right now.

Speaker 2 You know, that's not to say that every Republican, you don't have to necessarily be our flavor of Republican, but just trying something,

Speaker 2 anything other than what you're doing. That's failing miserably.
Constantly

Speaker 2 failure usually means you try something else. I mean, Pat, you and I are not the most svelte individuals in the world.
Yeah, you mentioned that I'm not as supple as I used to be.

Speaker 2 Well, that was calling you old hurt.

Speaker 2 I'm talking about being fat. Okay.
And so both you and

Speaker 2 fat. Yes, old and fat.
Good, thank you. You own Kexie Cookie, well, you're a partner, of course, with your wife in this particular venture.

Speaker 2 And your kids work at the family business a little bit there. But Kexie Cookie is a company.

Speaker 2 Usually when you own a cookie company, you're not, I mean, is it possible to remain, as a man, at least, thin? I don't think it's possible, especially when the cookies taste that good. Yes.
So,

Speaker 2 you know, look,

Speaker 2 we would recognize that what we have done has not worked. Okay.
We've had our moments, right? Sometimes we've had good runs where we've lost some weight.

Speaker 2 Maybe we looked a little bit better than other periods of time. But generally speaking, we come back to the same terrible practices.
At least, though, we're trying things sometimes.

Speaker 2 Like, we don't just necessarily go down the same route every single time. We might try a different approach.
We might try to convince ourselves in a different way not to have that ninth cheeseburger.

Speaker 2 Whatever the reason is, you at least try different things. And if we continue to do the things that we continue to do, we realize what the result will be.
Yes. We will look like ourselves.

Speaker 2 And or even worse. Or even worse.

Speaker 2 We could look like Jeffy, as you point out. And it could even get to that level.
Point being

Speaker 2 that when you have a situation that's not going your way, perhaps trying something different would help. Yeah.
And seemingly, no city in America can get it through their thick heads

Speaker 2 that this is something that you should do. I mean, in Seattle, in Seattle,

Speaker 2 there is a King County

Speaker 2 council

Speaker 2 person who, well, she's running for King County Council.

Speaker 2 And a few years ago, and maybe it was 10 years ago, she actually boarded a bus

Speaker 2 of school children and threatened to blow it up.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 I'm a little pickier about the people I vote for than that. I am not sure if, I mean, do we have the,

Speaker 2 yeah, it's cut five. The lady running for King County Council in Seattle gets on the school bus.
I believe this was in 2011. And here's what happened.

Speaker 2 So she claims to have

Speaker 2 a bomb on her.

Speaker 2 She's telling people I'm Muslim, I'm covered, I might have a bomb. And she's going to blow it up.

Speaker 2 Might have a gun.

Speaker 2 Finally, a police officer boards the

Speaker 2 bus.

Speaker 2 Some kids

Speaker 2 actually escape out the back.

Speaker 2 She continues to yell about the bomb that she has. And a police officer comes on.

Speaker 4 I'm going to ask you one, and then I'm going to take you off the bus. If you choose not to get off the bus, I'm going to drop you right here as we stand.
Do you understand that?

Speaker 4 Okay, then what I would do is back up off this bus right now. Turn around and face away from me.

Speaker 4 All right, start backing up.

Speaker 4 Start backing up. I'm only going to tell you one.

Speaker 4 I don't care whether you're prepared to die or not.

Speaker 2 I don't care if you're prepared to die. I'm prepared to kill you.

Speaker 2 So the cop finally takes care of this situation. It turns out she didn't have a bomb, but

Speaker 2 there are council members and members of the Democrat Party that are defending her and talking about what a great leader she is. And

Speaker 2 I'm thinking anybody who has threatened schoolchildren on a bus like that, that she's going to blow them up and kill them is probably

Speaker 2 disqualified from consideration

Speaker 2 for city council.

Speaker 2 That's how Picky II speech. once again,

Speaker 2 doesn't want someone saying they have a bomb and might kill a few school children. Even if they don't, but they say it.
Yeah. Then I'm still, I'm not.
No, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 Is her defense here basically that she was trying to

Speaker 2 accuse others of believing that every Muslim has a bomb? No, she had depression.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 she didn't even have the BS.

Speaker 2 Excuse me. Like there's depression.
Right now, there's a video going around

Speaker 2 from a bunch of activists, LGBTQQIA,

Speaker 2 GP. Oh, good.
Yeah. Plus.

Speaker 2 Thank you. Demisexual and pansexual.

Speaker 2 Activists who are basically saying, we're going to, you know, it's a song, I think, and they're saying they're going to,

Speaker 2 you know, indoctrinate your kids, be gay, convert them to be gay.

Speaker 2 And like, it seems like it's done in a tongue-in-cheek way where they're basically mocking the ideas that they think, I guess, us evil churchgoers believe that that's what they're doing and they're trying to have fun with it or whatever.

Speaker 2 Um, so it's not fun to me, but that it's like most people are like it's you know, the question is, what that's their defense in any way, right?

Speaker 2 They're basically saying, like, okay, well, we're just we're really funny, and this, we're just mocking you.

Speaker 2 Uh, she's not even attempting that defense, she's not attempting that she's not even saying, like, we know you, what you think about Muslims. You think we all have bombs.
Well, maybe I have a bomb.

Speaker 2 She's not even saying that, she's just saying she was depressed. Exactly.
And sometimes when you get depressed, you go on a bus of school kids and threaten to blow them up. That's just what you do.

Speaker 2 It's what you do. Triple 888727 back.

Speaker 2 So I want to let you know that if you've been grilling from the top of your roof, the stakes have never been higher.

Speaker 2 Get it? Stakes have never

Speaker 2 been higher. There's a dad joke for you there, if you didn't notice it.
But if you are one of the people who like to spend weekends cooking out with your family, it's a great time to bond.

Speaker 2 It's a great time to tell terrible dad jokes. It's a great time to hang out with your kids, play a little wiffle ball in the backyard, then come in and eat some great food.

Speaker 2 Well, if you have a RekTech, you're not just buying a grill. You're bringing the industry standard and smart grill technology into your own backyard.
You're cooking like the professionals.

Speaker 2 The RECTEC is sleek, beautiful, and made with heavy stainless steel, so it's like grilling on a tank.

Speaker 2 It's just fantastic. And you can be in the comfort of your own air conditioning and control the whole thing.

Speaker 2 The whole process can be done from inside, which is the best part about it, potentially, other than the fact that when you're done, the food is fantastic. It's sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time.

Speaker 2 Follow Rek Tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter. R-E-C-T-E-Q is the way you spell that.
It's got a Q at the end. RekTech.com.
Rectech with a Q.com. R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

Speaker 2 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 2 Speaking of great Democrats doing fantastic jobs, how about the mayor of Chicago? She is

Speaker 2 terroristic. Yeah, Lori Lightfoot doing a terrific job.
And anybody who criticizes her, well, that's all about her being a BIPOC, of course.

Speaker 2 Here's what she had to say about it,

Speaker 2 about why people criticize her. Gut 7.

Speaker 2 Your reaction to criticism, Tribune editorial used the term irascible.

Speaker 2 How much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman and specifically a black woman? Oh, all of it. All of it.
About 99% of it? About 99%.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 About 99%.

Speaker 2 Not because she's a hypocrite and she tells people in Chicago they can't leave their homes and they can't go to salons and then she does the opposite.

Speaker 2 It's not because of any of that. It's because it's because she's black.

Speaker 2 Of course.

Speaker 2 it's the same playbook every same i'm so tired of it i'm so tired of it the other thing they do is they can't disagree that the crime situation is a real problem so they can't just say oh well you know the crime is really bad and obviously we're in charge so we oops they just call it gun crime instead Now, there's all sorts of crime that happens in these areas that don't have to do with guns.

Speaker 2 They're all increasing too. But they're just saying, well, gun crime, if we say gun crime, then we can, of course, blame the gun instead of every other element of society leading to these outcomes.

Speaker 2 Despite the fact that, especially in her city,

Speaker 2 they have the toughest gun laws in the country. And they still had 104 people shot, 18 killed over the Independence Day weekend.
It just... Yeah.

Speaker 2 And again, this is a city that has gun rules so tight, they've been overruled as against the Constitution multiple times. Like the Heller case was about Chicago.
Right.

Speaker 2 Because that is how central to this they have. That's how bad their gun laws have been.
And still, no effect.

Speaker 2 Missing. Triple eight, seven two seven B E C K.
More Patents Dew for Glenn coming up.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenback Program.

Speaker 2 It's Patents Do for Glenn on the Glen Back Program. Triple 8 727

Speaker 2 B E C K.

Speaker 2 There is something called

Speaker 2 the Mandela effect.

Speaker 2 And it has to do with Nelson Mandela and people believing that he died in prison, which

Speaker 2 didn't happen. No, he did not.
He actually got out of prison and became pretty prominent for some time before he died. He died in 2013, Free Man.
Yeah, you might remember.

Speaker 2 That's where Barack Obama hit on the leader of, was it

Speaker 2 the Netherlands? Yeah, I think the female leader of the Netherlands.

Speaker 2 And Michelle was not happy with that arrangement. Not happy.

Speaker 2 They seem to be laughing and having a great time and flirting together. And Michelle was, yeah, not thrilled.
Visibly unhappy. I do remember that video now that you say it.
Now that you say it.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So this is idea that basically like society can create a false memory.
And things and people will believe. And like it's a mass false memory, too.

Speaker 2 Not just like a few people, but everybody believes it. Everybody believes it.
So these really...

Speaker 2 some examples of it that are pretty interesting. The Mandela effect was the belief, as you mentioned, that he died in prison, which I never thought, but I guess a lot of people did.

Speaker 2 However, this one I could probably

Speaker 2 be affected by. For example, what does Darth Vader say when he's talking about being the father of Luke Skywalker? Luke.

Speaker 2 I am

Speaker 2 your father. Right.

Speaker 2 100%, right?

Speaker 2 That is definitely what he says, Except for the fact that's not what he says. He says, actually, in the movie, no,

Speaker 2 I am your father. He's answering it.
Right, because Luke says to him, you killed my father.

Speaker 2 You're like, Luke, you don't know what happened to your father.

Speaker 2 You killed my father.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 I am your father. Right.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 2 Excellent. By the way, excellent recreation there.
That was amazing. But yeah, I mean, I would would have totally said, Luke, I am your father.
I would, too. And bet money on it that I was sure.
Yes.

Speaker 2 So there's a bunch of examples of that. That's one of them.
But that one I would have definitely gotten wrong. How about this one?

Speaker 2 Monopoly, the game of monopoly.

Speaker 2 Does the monopoly man have a monocle? Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 Absolutely. No, he does not.

Speaker 2 The monopoly guy does not have a monocle? He does not have a monocle. He's never had a monocle.
Is he holding it in his hand? No. He's holding money bags in his hand.
Okay.

Speaker 2 So he doesn't have it in his eye and it's not in his hand. No.
The belief is that people are conflating the Monopoly guy and Mr. Peanut.
Now, Mr. Peanut does have a monocle.

Speaker 2 Those are two very different characters, actually.

Speaker 2 I don't think I've ever conflated the two.

Speaker 2 I'm pretty sure the Monopoly Man is not made of peanuts. That's one thing I do.
I'm sure of. Yes.
Well, that's an interesting one. It is.
Okay, here's another one.

Speaker 2 This one I would have probably got wrong too.

Speaker 2 If you think back to your childhood, you're making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, maybe a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for your kids,

Speaker 2 and you break out the jiffy peanut butter.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 I would think it's Jiffy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 No. But I know it's not because we went through this on my show a couple of weeks ago.
It just came up and I'm like, did Jiff used to be called Jiffy?

Speaker 2 It was like, no,

Speaker 2 It's never been Jiffy peanut butter. It's always been Jiff.
Yes, so there is a Jiff peanut butter, and there is also a Skippy peanut butter, but there has never been a Jiffy peanut butter.

Speaker 2 Someone out there should create a Jiffy peanut butter. Yes.
Right? It'd be successful. It would be huge.

Speaker 2 Everyone would think that was the one they've been buying since they were a kid, but no, there's no such thing. Really weird.
Okay, another movie one here.

Speaker 2 Now, I don't know how much you were a fan of Silence of the Lambs. Probably not that big, but it was a huge movie, obviously.

Speaker 2 And if you've never seen the movie, you probably know know one thing about it. When she walks into in front of the cell door there, he says, hello, Clarice.

Speaker 2 It's like a very famous thing. Okay.
Yeah. He doesn't say, hello, Clarice, in the movie.
He actually just says, good morning.

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 2 Because that's what everybody says. Yes.
Now he says Clarice.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 He says Clarice in that voice many times, but he only says good morning. He never says, hello, Clarice.
That is weird. Okay, fruit of the loom.
Yeah. Okay.
Underwear. Right.

Speaker 2 You've got the symbol of fruit of the loom. Can you picture it in your head?

Speaker 2 Now, I would have pictured it in my head as a bunch of fruit kind of spilling out of a cornucopia type of thing, right? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 2 The fruit has never spilled out of a basket. It does not come out of a basket.
It is literally just a pile of food. Really? Yeah, which is a weird thing to put on your underwear.
That is weird.

Speaker 2 It's strange to put food. I mean, I I almost want it in a basket so it would be protected.
But no, it's just food. Yeah, why are we testing your basketball? I'm eating food with the underwear.

Speaker 2 I guess, obviously, fruit, and it's fruit of the loom. It is.
And so there you go. There you go.
There you go.

Speaker 2 Okay, this one I didn't remember.

Speaker 2 Mona Lisa. When you look at the thing of the Mona Lisa in your head,

Speaker 2 is the Mona Lisa smiling? Is the Mona Lisa frowning? What is the Mona Lisa doing?

Speaker 2 I think she's smiling. She's a little smirk.

Speaker 2 That's exactly right. She has a little bit of smirk.
Most people remember this as her frowning a little bit.

Speaker 2 That's a dour times in that painting, so I can understand maybe why you conceptually put that, but that's not true. Do you remember Ed McMahon

Speaker 2 back in the day? He's showing up on doorsteps. He's giving people oversized checks and blues.
I love this one, too, because this I've stumbled onto as well.

Speaker 2 For the Publisher's Clearinghouse sweepstakes.

Speaker 2 He never worked for for publishers clearinghouse

Speaker 2 right it's incredible that it is incredible i when i first saw this i didn't believe it i know i in fact i went back to all the videos because i didn't believe it i'm like yes he did yes he did publishers clearinghouse he did no he did not no he did not mcmahon never made any house calls first of all he never went to a house he just endorsed a separate entity called american family family publishers

Speaker 2 It's crazy. They're similar entities, but McMahon never.
Doesn't that tell you what a terrible job he did did representing that country? That company when everybody thinks he was for their competitor.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 2 It's weird. That is very weird.
He sucked. They shouldn't have paid him a dime for that.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry if you're a recipient of the estate of Ed McMahon, but you shouldn't get a penny. Well, I mean, it's very memorable commercials.
You just don't remember what they were for, apparently.

Speaker 2 You think they were for the competition, which is weird. Very.
It really would be weird if later on people were like, I remember that Ronald McDonald, but he was the Burger King guy.

Speaker 2 That would be weird. What? Okay, Berenstein Bears.
You know them.

Speaker 2 Can you, do you know how to spell the last name?

Speaker 2 The name of the bear?

Speaker 2 Like Berenstein, S-T-E-I-N. Right.

Speaker 2 That's what I would have said. I would have bet my life on it.
I read these books as a kid.

Speaker 2 The correct pronunciation and has always been the correct spelling, excuse me. B-E-R-E-N-S-T-A-I-N.
Oh, it's Berenstein? Yeah, it's always been Berenstein.

Speaker 2 It's named after the authors whose last name is Berenstein. It's never been Berenstein Bears ever, yet I would have bet my life on it.
Uh-huh. C-3PO, what color is C-3-PO?

Speaker 2 Gold. Gold.

Speaker 2 100% gold, right? Yeah. The lower portion of his right leg below the knee was silver when you first see him in the movie.

Speaker 2 And it's a fact that sometimes surprises people who have seen the original trilogy dozens of times, according to Mental Floss. Really weird.
Amazing. Risky Business.
1983, Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2 He slides out. He's in his underwear.
Yes. He's dancing in his sunglasses.

Speaker 2 Except he's not wearing sunglasses. That's from a different part of the movie.
It's like from the movie poster. He's wearing sunglasses.

Speaker 2 He's not wearing sunglasses in the famous scene of that movie, though everyone seems to think that he is. And this is probably the most common one cited, which is this

Speaker 2 Shazam the movie.

Speaker 2 Shazam, the movie, starring Sinbad as a genie for kids.

Speaker 2 Except for the fact that that movie never existed. There's never been a movie named Shazam with Sinbad in it.
There is a movie named Kazam with Shaq in it.

Speaker 2 Really? Yeah, isn't that weird? Really? I totally would have thought that was a movie, Shazam. And Sinbad, I could picture him in the universe.
I could picture it.

Speaker 2 I was with you until you brought up the Shaq thing. And no, it's true.
It's a movie called Kazam. Shaquille O'Neal was in it.

Speaker 2 There is no movie named Shazam

Speaker 2 with Sinbad as a genie in the movie. But for some

Speaker 2 reason, a lot of people, including myself, would have absolutely bet my life. I would have sworn on it.
I would have sworn by it.

Speaker 2 Absolutely. So weird.

Speaker 2 Fruit Loops. How is Fruit Loop spelled?

Speaker 2 I think I know this one. Is it F-R-O-O-T? It is O-O-O.
Okay. And the only reason I think, I think, first of all, I like Fruit Loops a lot, but I think I've noticed this one before.

Speaker 2 And the OO is like the shape of the loops.

Speaker 2 Yes. But I totally could have got that one wrong.
Yeah. I would have said fruit is spelled as fruit.

Speaker 2 Let's see.

Speaker 2 Did

Speaker 2 you

Speaker 2 do Curious George, did you? The monkey? Oh, yeah. When I was a kid, I used to.

Speaker 2 Did he have a tail or no tail?

Speaker 2 He had a tail.

Speaker 2 He did not have a tail.

Speaker 2 Did not have a tail. Really?

Speaker 2 Why? What happened to it? I don't know. I'm concerned.
I don't know if he was bitten off by a lion. I'm not sure what kind of tragic accident happened there, but I blame Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 Joe Biden. I mean, he was around back then.
He's probably responsible.

Speaker 2 Probably.

Speaker 2 Cheese-its. Do you eat Cheez-It or are they Cheez-Its?

Speaker 2 Well, they're Cheese-Its.

Speaker 2 They're Cheese-It.

Speaker 2 Just I.T., no Z.

Speaker 2 Do you know?

Speaker 2 Everybody I know calls them Cheez-Its. Yeah.
Nobody calls them. Hey, can I have some Cheez-It, please? Nobody.
I'd like a little bit of a. Give me a bag of the Cheez-It.

Speaker 2 Nobody would say that. No one says that.

Speaker 2 That is really weird. It's wrong.
That kind of blows me away.

Speaker 2 How about double stuff Oreos? Do you know how to spell

Speaker 2 double stuff?

Speaker 2 You just spell the stuff part of double.

Speaker 2 Double stuff Oreo. I mean, I'm just assuming it's not S-T-U-F-F.
You're just assuming correctly. It's just one F.
Really? Why? That's not how you spell it. They spell it wrong on the packaging.

Speaker 2 So, yeah. I just.

Speaker 2 And I've been in front of a lot of bags of double stuff over the years. To not recognize that.
Yeah. That's amazing.
I mean, basically, my whole life,

Speaker 2 almost daily, has been a bag of double stuff down the gullet.

Speaker 2 And even I didn't pick that up. The Flintstones.

Speaker 2 Have you ever noticed that there are two T's in it? It's Flintstones, not Flintstones.

Speaker 2 I would have never guessed. I'm looking at the logo, and I would have never,

Speaker 2 ever believed there were

Speaker 2 two T's. Flintstones.
Yeah, I always say Flintstones. Flintstones vitamin.

Speaker 2 Also, life is like a box of chocolates. Yeah.
From Forrest Gump. That's not what he actually said.

Speaker 2 If you listen closely, he says life was

Speaker 2 like a box of chocolates. I would have sworn by that one, too.

Speaker 2 Life is like a box of chocolates.

Speaker 2 Like,

Speaker 2 life was like a box of chocolates. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think they say, they think part of this is, you know, the mistake gets made once and then it gets repeated and repeated and repeated, and people just take in the mistaken

Speaker 2 example. But it is a really strange thing.
There is an entire society out there that believes this is is like some interdimensional conspiracy. That, like, for example, Shazam

Speaker 2 with Sinbad was a movie, but it was in like a parallel dimension and it's like slipped through somehow. So we still

Speaker 2 people really believe this. I could almost subscribe to that theory.
That's well, that's how much I believe this stuff.

Speaker 2 Lord of the Rings, one more here. Just the Lord of the Rings, where Gandalf is.

Speaker 2 You wouldn't know this one because you don't do Lord of of the Rings, right?

Speaker 2 Not really, no. When he takes his staff and he bashes it on the

Speaker 2 he slams it down.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and it breaks off the bridge and that big thing is coming at him. And the big thing grabs him and pulls him down with it.
And he just hangs on for a minute and he looks up at

Speaker 2 his group of friends and he says,

Speaker 2 Run, you fools.

Speaker 2 He doesn't actually say run, you fools. He says, fly, you fools.
And almost everybody remembers it and says it, run, you fools.

Speaker 2 Weird, right? Weird.

Speaker 2 I believe the interdimensional thing now.

Speaker 2 You've convinced me. Yeah, it was the Lord of the Rings thing that you've never seen that finally convinced you.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 It's Patton Stewart, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 You got to do this one more. We're just talking talking about the Mandela effect.
Things that you believe, the whole society believes, but really aren't true, weren't quite the way you remember them.

Speaker 2 Things like Jiffy peanut butter never existed. It's always been Jiff.

Speaker 2 How about Smokey Bear?

Speaker 2 No the in it. It's just Smokey Bear.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 here's why. Do you remember the song?

Speaker 2 When they sang the song, it was Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear, prowling and a growling and a sniffing the air. So they called him Smokey the Bear in that, and that's what caused that.

Speaker 2 That's just wrong. Yeah, and look, I think both are true, too.
I mean, if his name is Smokey Bear, he's also a bear. So Smokey the Bear and Smokey Bear would both be accurate.
Yes. Right? Yes.

Speaker 2 I will say, I think there's a point in the future where we're like,

Speaker 2 do you remember Joe Biden being president?

Speaker 2 Did that happen? I hope we're at that point sometime. Very soon.
Wait, no, he wasn't really.

Speaker 2 No, he was vice president. Yeah, he was vice president.
And he was a senator. Yeah.
Right? But no. He ran for president, but he didn't.
He didn't make it. He ran like five times, didn't he?

Speaker 2 Yeah, he couldn't have won the presidency of the United States. No, he was senile by the time he was in his

Speaker 2 late 70s. He couldn't have been president.
Right? Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 I do kind of remember him bumbling and fumbling around basic sentences

Speaker 2 in the Oval Office, I think. He wasn't...
Good God, that man wasn't president, was he? Please tell me that day is coming very, very soon.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Bach program.
