New episodes Tuesdays.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

With that in stew for Glenn today, hope you had a great 4th of July weekend.

The President of the United States, Joe

Robinette Biden, was on

fire.

On fire.

He got to swear in some American citizens.

I think there were two of them there.

And he got to swear them in with such an inspiring speech.

We'll share some of that with you

coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

President Biden

is just absolutely.

beloved on virtually

every single agenda item that he has, but especially his border policies are approved by a full 33% of the American people.

33%.

He had to get probably almost half of Democrats on that.

Yes.

Yeah, that's pretty good for a Democrat.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

It's a, let's see, 51% of adults are not happy.

So it's 51.33.

He's upside down by a lot there.

I would call that

18 points.

A big fat minus 18.

It's a good way to go.

The survey has a margin of error, three and a half percentage points, but

he is not doing well with the immigration policy that he has.

I wonder why.

Maybe it's because of all the kids in cages.

Maybe it's the fact that border crossings are up like a billion percent.

They're

highest they've been in 20 years.

And his border policy is just plain failing.

However, over the weekend, because this is traditional on the Independence Day weekend, for the president to swear in some new immigrants, and he took the chance to do that and gave them a little welcoming speech, which was so inspiring.

Us in this service.

Look,

today,

today's special guest,

to all of you, it's my honor to congratulate the 21 of you

who

earned the title of that our democracy and every

title that our presidency is of the same consequence.

What?

Citizen.

Citizen of the United States of America.

I mean, isn't that amazing?

He's reading it and he still can't get it.

That is the case so often with him.

And it is the case that

looking into, look, here's

what I'm trying.

I've just said too much.

Welcome.

I mean, it's about that bad.

It really is.

It's just incomprehensible what he's trying to say there.

He almost

acts as if he's reading a speech in a perfectly dark room where there's like a strobe light on.

So he can only like get every other word.

Every other word.

And sometimes he goes up to a line above where he's supposed to be.

Sometimes he go or three words from three lines down.

He bounces back and forth.

He just can't do this.

He can't.

It just shows how incapable he is of doing this job.

If you can't even so much as swear in some citizens who are there on the 4th of July trying to become citizens, and you've got the copy right in front of you on how to do it, and you still can't do it, yeah, something's wrong.

Yeah.

And it's fascinating to me that nobody cares.

The CNNs and MSNBCs,

CBS, NBC, ABC, they don't care.

They don't show it.

They don't acknowledge it.

It's as if everything's fine.

What?

How dare you say that his cognitive abilities are less than maybe where they should be?

How dare you?

What kind of

conspiracy theorist are you?

And that's how we're treated when we take note of it.

There was a transition in the media over the past five years from,

I think, a group of people who were blatantly left-leaning, liberal, leftist at times, but tried to hold up the generalized concepts of journalism where they would act as if there was like this like, you know, sheen of credibility that they would hold everything together with.

They would say, okay, look, you know, we just, we think the facts are this way.

We're just giving you the facts.

And then, you know, sure, a lot of times when you listen to the facts, they happen to align with the Democratic Party.

That's what it used to be.

It's not like that anymore.

I mean, this is just straight out.

So often it's just straight out activism.

Maybe even a clearer example is the Hunter Biden situation, where like every story they've told us about over the past five years, whenever someone gets caught saying something bad in private, it's a major story.

Whenever someone is caught in international corruption, it's a major story.

Whenever people are misusing their power for business gains, it's a major story.

Whenever there are sexual escapades and

whenever you

would maybe take advantage of a woman and then when they are having your baby, you kind of ignore them and don't pay for it.

All of these things would be major stories with anyone else.

Yet this person

does all these things and then comes on for softball interviews about his new book.

And they don't say anything about any of those things.

They don't say a word about it.

And it's like, well, we're just supposed to sit here and be like, oh, okay, well, that's totally normal.

Because they no longer are trying to hide that they, you know, they're not trying to tell you even anymore that they're doing journalism.

They're just out there being advocates.

Yeah, they don't care.

I think they believe they've come so far that it just doesn't matter anymore.

It's too important.

I think that they see Trump and everything since Trump as so uniquely threatening to the United States of America.

There's no more time to fake journalism.

We can't pretend we're doing it anymore.

It's It's too important.

We need to just come out here.

It was, you know, Pat, during the Trump era, there was that big conversation about whether the president should be called a liar.

Remember that?

Oh, yeah.

And they were like, I don't, you know, there was that, it should be, you know what?

We must come out and just say it.

We must come out and just say he is a liar.

The president, who is a liar, was speaking in Georgia this weekend.

Like, they need to just come out and say it every time.

And it's like, well, you know, and they made this out to be some brave act where they took this step.

They normally would be held back by the rules and traditions of journalism, but this is too

vital.

We must, the hatred, the damage to our nation, we must just come out and say it.

And that's the mode they're in.

Just come out and say it.

No longer hide behind journalism.

No longer hide behind those things.

Just be an activist.

Be honest.

Come out and advocate for one side of the aisle because that side of the aisle is better.

That's what I think.

And that's what they're doing.

Exactly what they're doing.

And I, you know, I'm amazed by the fact that they, they don't even show it and then try to spin it.

They just ignore it.

Anytime that he looks like an absolute buffoon or he looks completely lost or he can't get his mind engaged in what he's supposed to be talking about, It's just ignored by them.

He went into,

I don't know, some little store.

I guess they were buying ice cream again.

Oh, he seems to be buying ice cream.

He's making me dislike ice cream.

No.

I'm turning on ice cream.

I see him now.

I need ice cream and pudding.

Is there pudding ice cream?

Can I have ice cream pudding?

Sounds pretty good, actually.

I would totally do it.

Doesn't it?

I love the banana pudding ice cream.

I'm all over that when I see it on the menu.

So here he is buying ice cream again, and he's asked about Russian hacking.

We're not sure it's the Russians.

Okay, with this.

I got a brief

as I was on the plane.

That's why I was late getting off the plane.

I got a brief.

And then he freezes, and so does the camera.

Oh, God.

That was just the...

Do you like Harry C?

Look at this.

Like 8, 9, 10 seconds.

He can't see it.

I'm in better shape to talk to you about it.

When I have my medication,

no.

Can you take out notes?

Yeah.

He's taking out his notes.

He's got notes on both sides of his sleep.

Okay.

Okay.

The idea, first of all, we're not sure who it is for for certain.

And what I did, I directed the full resources of the government to assist in a response if we determine.

What else you need?

Oh, nothing.

You're all set.

Okay.

And

the fact is that I directed the intelligence community, you give me a deep dive on what's happened.

And I'll know better tomorrow.

And if it is,

either with the knowledge of and or a consequence of Russia, then I told Putin we will respond.

Wow.

And he puts those notes back in his pocket.

No, no, I have a call because

we're not certain.

The initial thinking was it was not the Russian government.

But we're not sure yet.

Okay, so he freezes for up to 10 seconds at a time.

Can't say anything.

He's desperately searching for words or where he is or if he has his pants on.

I don't know.

And he does have his pants on.

We should point that out.

He does.

He seems to have.

He's wearing trousers.

Yes.

Yes, he is.

And then he takes out his notes and that still doesn't help him much.

He's slurring his words.

I mean, it is so clear there's a serious problem here.

And

you're so right.

And

you feel bad.

I feel bad even talking about it, but it's like

he can't answer this very basic question that any politician should be able to handle without notes at the same time.

Come on, he can't do it

with notes while trying to complete an ice cream transaction.

Like, that is like it's thrown the operating system off.

It can't do both of those things.

You can't have a calculator running and or email.

He cannot.

Like, he can't.

He can't multitask.

There's no way you can ask that of him.

He's the president of the United States, Pat.

I know.

And I'm sure before he entered that restaurant, that little ice cream shop, they told him, Mr.

President, we have planted someone who's going to ask you a question about Russian hacking.

Notes are in your suit coat.

And they're right inside your suit coat on both sides.

When they ask you the question, get your notes out and read what we've written for you.

And again, his notes seem to indicate they just didn't know it was Russia.

Right?

We don't know who it is.

Unless there's, you know, five or six other words that he just can't read.

Right.

I don't know.

According to his answer, the notes just said, we don't know yet.

So the answer is, look, we don't know where it is yet.

We're not going to comment until we do.

And that's the answer.

That's going to be written down.

That's the answer.

Yeah.

Right?

Yes, it is the answer he gives.

I mean, like, he doesn't have to.

Is it one of the cashiers asking him about the?

I think it is one of the cashiers.

And somebody came around with him and put a mic in front of both of them.

And so,

like, you know, look, I look, the president of the United States has a wide berth in these situations to be able to answer with

some

delicate nature, right?

It's an international incident we're talking about.

He doesn't need to give an answer to every cashier who asks him a question about it.

All he has to do is say, Look, we don't know yet.

But clearly, they've planted the question because

they've got the microphone ready, and he has his notes

on both sides of his suit coat hold on let me you want to pack up marlborough hold on about the russian hacking uh

why is the cashier asking about the russian hacking it's so bizarre and again this is such

like the the handling of biden is almost as bad as the presidency of biden yeah like why is he in these situations but get someone else to get the ice cream so he doesn't have to constantly embarrass himself.

I only mean that from a, it like hurts me in a political sense.

I think he insists.

That's what I like.

He is the president.

He insists and he believes he still believes he's that Joe Biden who is charming and folksy and he can get out of any situation because it's just Joey and Joe.

And he thinks he can still do that and he can't.

And you know what?

He can't.

When he's shown that he can't, he never pays a price for it because the media doesn't show these things.

Only the evil conservative media covers them.

So he never really pays a price.

It's not embarrassing him on the networks he's watching.

So why not?

So why not keep doing it?

There's no way to tell Joe this has got to stop.

So I can see, you know, from a, from an, if you're in one of his aides, you're sitting here going like, how do we convince him to stop doing this?

And they've tried everything.

I mean,

they're doing teleprompters in kindergartens.

They're giving him notes in both sides of his suit coat in case he goes for the wrong side.

I mean, they've done everything they can.

And again, the notes just say, I don't know.

That's all they say.

More in one minute.

Well, if you're worried about Russian hacking,

which you should be, by the way, they almost definitely were responsible for this more recent incident, which is a big deal over the weekend.

This keeps happening over and over and over again.

And you wonder, you know, not just, it's not just major national actors and criminal gangs like we're talking about, Russia.

I think, Pat, we need to come.

That needs to be something I have in my life.

It's just notes in my pocket from some advisor that can tell me when someone asks me a difficult question, I should just basically say, I don't know.

Like, how do you feel today, Stu?

I don't know.

I don't know how I feel.

Really?

At this time, we don't know how I feel.

Okay.

But we may have more information on how I feel at a later time.

That's how I feel.

Okay.

I want someone to be telling me things like that.

Because you get, you know, there's times where you get an uncomfortable question,

you know?

Maybe you come home a little too late.

Maybe you were hanging out in the Taco Bell parking lot, multiple trips around the drive-thru, trying all their new products.

You come back home to a dinner that's been cooked and you think to yourself, I don't know if I'm going to be able to eat all that because I just ate a Taco Bell four straight times.

And when your wife says, hey, where were you?

You just say, I don't know.

We may have more information about that coming soon.

I mean, of course, you should obviously be silent for about 10 seconds in the middle of of that.

I didn't want to replicate that part of it because all of our stations would go off the air.

But just a good 10-second silence mixed in with some version of I don't know, some stuttering, and changing back and forth between conversations.

And perhaps slurring your words along the way.

The words you are saying are all slurred.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

This is kind of fascinating.

I love this story.

You know the train story he keeps talking about the conductor that comes up to him and grabs him by the arm and says, Joey,

you know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak?

One and a half million.

Have you not heard that?

I think I have heard him tell that.

He's told it three or four times over the last couple of years, and he loves it because he thinks it makes America believe he's just like them.

That he travels Amtrak every day.

And that's not true.

I mean, Amtrak is like the ex-scale way to travel.

He has a train.

When we were doing national radio shows and national TV shows, I took New Jersey Transit in because it costs like one-tenth of the cost.

Yes.

It's very expensive on Amtrak.

That's not an average American thing to do.

So anyway, this guy, Angelo Negri, Negri, who

he and Biden supposedly became friends and came up to him and told him he's traveled over a million and a half miles on Amtrak over the years.

One and a half million miles.

Well, Fox and the Daily Mail and even CNN eventually looked into this, and there's just a little problem with the story of Angelo Negri coming up to him and telling him about the one and a half million mile milestone.

Only 1.4 million miles?

No, it's just that Angelo had retired decades earlier.

And in fact, when he hit the milestone of one and a half million miles on Amtrak,

Angelo had been dead for a year.

Oh, no.

So he would have had a hard time coming up and telling him about it.

Poor Angelo.

This is just like the story of Katie.

Remember that Katie's diner or whatever?

He used to go there all the time.

It closed in 1984.

But he was still going there in 2008.

Worst part about the Angelo story, too, is that he was killed by an Amtrak trade.

He was run over.

He was standing out in the middle of his unfortunate action.

Yeah, wow.

Yeah.

They took him.

87 years old, hit by an Amtrak trade.

Pancaked.

This is the Glenn Back Program.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn.

888 727BECK.

Target Walgreens making some drastic changes.

Due to an increase in theft in San Francisco, 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.

Already they've been seeing the negative impact it's having in San Francisco with stores permanently shutting down or closing early because of theft at their stores.

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

People just come in and take stuff and leave.

It's not like they're breaking in in the middle of the night.

They're doing this during store hours, often in broad daylight.

If anyone, any company knows this, I don't know how Target couldn't be the one because they were the one that was told when their buildings were burning to the ground, it's just property.

They're being completely cleaned out in city after city after city.

Yeah, you know, it's just property.

Don't worry about it.

And so now they're realizing.

I mean, as any small business owner will tell you,

that doesn't work out that way.

You don't get like 100% of your money back.

No.

That's not how that works.

Did you have your roof replaced recently after the hail?

I did not.

No, I did not.

I'm having mine replaced.

And it's

insurance comes in and says, yeah, I'll give you about half of what that's worth.

They don't say it's half, but it is about half of what it will actually cost.

That's great.

Yeah.

Plus my deductible.

So that worked out.

Yeah.

The insurance thing, it's not ideal.

So when you're telling telling these companies, yeah, just use your insurance.

First of all, you shouldn't be stealing stuff from them.

But we've gotten to the place where apparently that's okay for certain people to steal things from a store.

It's true.

And I think it's an organized thing at this point.

I'd love to hear if there's any small business owners who have gone through this if they own a retail facility.

I know someone who was in a store and watched this happen.

Here in the DFW area.

Yeah, and this is Texas.

Okay.

Yeah.

Where a group of four

people came in to a store.

It was a makeup store with garbage bags and walked up to the counter where all the displays were and took their arms and cupped, you know, 50 to 60 like lip glosses and just shoveled them into the garbage bag and did it about 10 times each and then walked out of the store.

Oh my gosh.

With four garbage bags filled with makeup.

Thousands of dollars of makeup.

And this stuff is freaking expensive.

Believe me, it goes about two-thirds of my salary goes to it.

So

were these people who are the greatest danger we face in America white supremacists?

I don't know.

Is that what they were saying?

I will say that.

If they were white supremacists, they were really bad at it.

This particular group of ladies.

Don't tell me they were BIPOC.

Are they BIPOC people?

They were BIPOC.

Oh, boy.

They were BIPOC.

Oh, no.

This particular group.

Black, Indigenous people of color.

Yes.

Now, it's interesting because you have to look at the incentives of such a situation.

By the way, 888727 Beck, if you happen to be a small business owner and have seen this happen, or how because I would love to hear how you're dealing with it.

But, you know, the incentive of the situation is the employees of a corporate retail establishment don't want to get into an altercation.

They're trained to not get into an altercation.

They're trained to know, well, don't say, don't try to stop X, Y, and Z type of person because that's not, you know, there's guaranteed signs all over the store saying how much Black Lives Matter and how much, you know,

every dumb left-wing slogan is pasted all over every one of these stores.

And as we've seen, even with like Starbucks, Starbucks, what was the controversy?

They didn't allow someone to go to the bathroom and it became a national story.

So if you try to stop someone, you tackle a woman with a garbage garbage bag of makeup, making it walking out the door,

what happens in that situation?

You're on the news as the bad person.

You're on the news as the terrible person who didn't let this individual who abscond with thousands of dollars worth of your material.

Your product.

What are you going to do?

You're going to step back and you're just going to let it happen.

And they're going to walk out the door.

And if they do get caught, which they probably won't, probably

the charges will be dropped.

Right?

We've seen Antifa, they burn down cities and we have the vice president of the United States begging for money to bail them out.

So why would you possibly believe you're going to get in trouble over something like this?

And if they do get in trouble, what is it?

A fine?

A fine that is what, one tenth of one haul from one of these stores?

So you're seeing this all over the place.

There's a video that went viral last week or the week before.

A guy just walks in, fills his garbage bag with all sorts of stuff on his bike, and just rides his bike out the front door of the store.

Yeah,

there's no longer this.

You don't need to be Ocean's 11 anymore.

There's no, you don't need to have this incredibly intricate operation.

You walk in the front door, like every other customer, with a garbage bag on display.

You fill it with the material, you walk out the front door the same way you came in.

You just ignore everyone telling you to stop.

It's not hard.

It's not that hard.

No.

Oftentimes, people don't even tell you to stop.

They just, they just watch you go out the door.

And look, if you're an employee, you're making, you know,

13 bucks an hour, and you're thinking to myself, I'm not going to get, I'm not going to become an international story because I stopped a BIPOC individual from

stealing something or a Hispanic individual or a white individual.

I'm sure this is happening with all sorts of colors.

I mean, it just this particular story happened to be that.

And I would think it's a lot harder to justify to corporate that you did something in this situation the further down the oppression ladder you get.

Right?

We're seeing this in story after story after story.

Now, the oppressed, the formerly oppressed women, the formerly oppressed gays, the formerly oppressed,

if you're not, you know, 12 different intersectionality groups at the same time, you don't even show up on these charts anymore.

I mean, like, if poor women, remember when women were oppressed?

And now they're a forgotten class completely.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yes, they are.

As indicated by the thing last week at the Wii Spa in Los Angeles, where the trans

woman goes into the bathroom and shows her

wiener to little girls.

And I will say,

just the fact that you just said those two words next to each other.

Yeah.

It says a lot about our society.

It does, doesn't it?

She shows

her wiener.

Right.

It's not funny to look at her.

No, it's not funny.

And what's not funny is how you're identifying them as little girls without asking them what gender they are.

That's true.

So one person,

one

person goes to the counter and complains about that to the spa employees, and that person is the bad person.

Because how dare you say she can't show her wiener to people in the bathroom.

How dare you?

It doesn't.

And so she's the bad guy, and

everybody defends the person showing their genitalia in the bathroom to little girls.

It's like, okay, we don't care about defending or protecting little girls anymore, or women for that matter.

We don't care about it.

Nope.

In fact,

if you ask about it or say anything about it, you're a hate monger well this is absolute insanity over the weekend a few people show up to protest uh that going on he's calling it pedophilia because it is

and antifa shows up and starts beating these people uh one of them got slashed with a knife in the arm others were beaten to the ground uh this this guy uh this asian guy just standing there and a woman runs up and kicks him where he lives.

And he responds by hitting her in the head with a water bottle.

He's the one who gets arrested.

And he's the one everybody's yelling and screaming about.

Because you got these Antifa people that they're the aggressors.

And then if anybody, you know, is aggressive back towards them, whoa, no, no, now they're the bad person.

Yes, that is how this works.

It is.

Then they do it really well.

They do it really well.

It's amazing to see our society react to this stuff.

Like, you know, targeted Walgreens are making decisions they believe are good for their bottom line, right?

And what they're doing is we'd rather be closed.

There are 7-11s that are closing.

Yeah.

Now, the original meaning of 7-11 was seven days a week open 11 hours a day.

Right.

That is what it initially was.

Until 11 at night?

I thought it was 11 hours.

Maybe it was till 11 at night.

It was something of that nature.

I thought it was 11 hours a day, which isn't all all that impressive frankly it's not no maybe it was until 11 at night but there was you know and now it's obviously but everywhere it's a 24-hour business yeah and they're closing or at least closing not allowing people inside because the theft is so prominent I mean target target and Walgreens just closing their stores closing them

because they see it as more of a problem to remain open Yeah, the shoplifting is so bad they can't make money because of it because of the shoplifting.

So they got, it might as well just close that outlet, which they did.

And normally what your answer is, I mean, look, there are some levels where maybe you would close the store down, I guess.

I'm sure it's obviously happened before, but it's becoming more common because you really, the other way of handling this is adding security people, but the security people aren't allowed to do anything.

Yeah, this security guard says, his name is Kevin Greathouse.

And he said that they're told not to physically engage with those who shoplift.

He said, it's going to to be lawsuits.

Obviously, they don't want ourselves or anybody else to get injured while we're out here attempting to make these apprehensions and leave it to law enforcement.

Carries with him a handgun, a taser, and pepper spray, but he's never used them.

On the other hand, he says people shoplifting have at times threatened him with a knife.

And he said, I don't have any intention of getting stabbed for $60 worth of stuff.

Well, okay, so you can hire security guards, but if you're going to tell them not to engage with anybody who steals, what good are they?

You're just wasting your money.

There's a video that, another video that went viral this weekend of a guy in New York in a place, a place we certainly walked by a million times when we lived in New York, in one of these Penn Station type hallways.

And like, they're not pretty.

And usually on the side, there might be a homeless person sitting down.

So this guy,

he's sitting there.

He's mopping the...

He's mopping the floor.

And he's got his bucket there.

He's mopping the floor.

He turns around.

He's mopping the floor.

And you see it all happen.

As soon as he turns his back, back, he's mopping the floor.

The homeless guy gets up, walks over, turns around, sits down on the bucket, and starts taking a crap in the bucket.

Oh,

now this guy turns around with

his mop.

Oh, man.

And he's like, what the damn?

You know, swears quite a bit and goes up to the guy and goes, get out of there.

The guy.

is offended that he's tried to stop him in the middle of going to the bathroom in his cleaning bucket

and takes his mop and starts hitting him with a mop.

Yeah.

Now, there's tons of people all walking around there.

This is in the middle of a high traffic area.

And

he

goes, he pushes right through it and

goes right back down, sits on the bucket and goes for it in front of everybody.

And I mean, this is the state of our cities right now.

And I got news for you.

No Republicans running any of them.

Right.

You know, there's no Republicans running any of these cities, basically, at this point.

There's a couple, but there's very, very few.

And this is what has happened over and over and over again.

These cities are just turning into

apocalyptic scenarios.

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

You are listening to the Glen Beck Program.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, the Glenn Beck program.

Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend.

It was incredible here weatherwise.

Did

I hope you didn't do a backyard barbecue, Stu, but

well, not with anybody who's not in your household.

And even the people who were in your household need to be in separate backyards, as we established on Friday.

Yeah, we worked that out.

I also required everyone who came over to get all of the available vaccines, including the Chinese vaccines.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, we imported a bunch of Sinovac and SinoPharm.

And so we injected everyone in various parts of the

world.

Pfizer, Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson Johnson.

Yep.

And the

Sino Pharma.

And Sputnik 5.

Sputnik 5?

Yeah, we got the Russian thing.

That's power.

We want to get that coursing through some veins as well.

Yeah.

We just felt like

people survived it.

Anybody survived the vaccines?

It feels like that many vaccines might be very damaging in this city.

I don't know.

That's a good question.

I don't know.

It seems like too many vaccines for one day.

But,

yeah, no, look,

I

notice around here, at least, life is completely back to normal.

Like,

I was in.

Virtually entirely.

There was a big 4th of July celebration in my suburb.

Yep.

There was 15,000, 20,000 people there.

And almost nobody had a mask on.

Yeah.

Almost nobody.

I'd say I went to a mall this weekend as well as multiple outdoor gatherings for 4th of July.

I mean, people are into it.

The crowd seemed big and passionate, and really they were enjoying getting back to this sort of stuff.

But, you know, I would say, you know, maybe the mall was 5 to 10% masked in that range.

You know, outdoors,

you know, lower, 2%,

you know, very, very small percentage.

And, you know, like we all understand that I think Texas is about 50% vaccinated.

So like all the, all the stores just say, like, come on in, no mask if you're vaccinated.

We all know half the people are just doing it anyway.

Right.

But But again, like, this is where we are.

We're back to normal life.

You know, when people have the choice to get the vaccine, the pandemic is over.

If they don't want to get it, then they don't want to get it.

Like, the problem with the pandemic is you are at that point where

there's nothing you can do, right?

Now there is something you can do.

Do it if you want, don't do it if you want, but then you just take the consequences of those actions.

Right.

Both sides.

Exactly right.

Great to have you with us.

It is Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

We were just talking in the four-minute buzz about how virtually every Republican in the state is running for governor of Texas right now.

True, it's amazing.

It's a crowded field.

It's a crowded field.

He is being primaried like nobody's ever been primaried.

I'll get into that a little bit, and much more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

If you happen to be the type of person who is looking to move right now, you better be careful because this is a crazy housing market.

I mean, it's one, I don't think I've ever seen one like this.

People are looking to spend their money on homes, and prices are going through the roof, especially if you happen to be in a state like Texas.

All the people trying to escape California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, and coming to Texas, Florida, and other sites that were maybe down south, maybe a little bit more open.

That's been happening over the past six months or so, and it's really just increased as the economy has sort of warmed up coming out of the pandemic winter.

So you have a situation where if you're selling a home, this could be the biggest haul you'll ever make, right?

I mean, this could be the biggest financial transaction you ever have in your entire life.

You better take advantage of it.

You better make sure you get the most for your money.

Secondarily, if you're going to buy a house right now, you better be careful to not overreach and

go for something that maybe costs more than you can afford.

Maybe you're overpaying because you get caught up in the hype of a market.

You better have a real estate agent on your side of either side of that transaction to make sure that you're doing the right thing.

You can find that person at realestateagentsitrust.com.

This company that Glenn started several years ago.

To find the best real estate agents around the country, you can do it no matter where you are in America.

Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

Name says it all.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Deck program 888 727BECK.

There's a new poll out that shows Governor Abbott with a 39, 38% lead over Matthew McConaughey.

Now, nobody even knows what Matthew McConaughey's policies are.

What's his agenda?

He hasn't even declared, are you a Democrat or a Republican?

Nobody knows.

Or an independent.

Or an independent.

Right.

Who knows?

Which is probably what he'd run as because,

you know, if you're anything but a left-wing kook Democrat, you can't declare that if you're in Hollywood, right?

So he'd probably have to say he's independent.

But

39, 38, whereas McConaughey months ago was way ahead of

Abbott in a head-to-head competition, at least according to the polls.

Now,

there's another Republican who's probably not well known outside of Dallas, and that's Don Huff Hines.

He's got a big card dealership empire here.

Abbott leads him 77 to 12,

so he's probably not a real threat.

But

just entering the race

is

Colonel West.

Yeah, Alan West, who, former congressman, obviously been very active in conservative politics for a long time.

He's going to be running.

He was the chair of the Texas Republican Party.

For about 15 minutes.

Yep.

Not very long.

No.

But he's very well known and well respected, I think, in the conservative community.

And I think he's actually in a poll that they just conducted a little bit ahead of Governor Abbott.

Interesting that

he's a threat for sure, I would think, to Abbott.

You know, of course, our own Chad Prather here from Blaze TV is running as well.

This is a crowded field, and it's interesting because Abbott is not like

Greg Abbott is a guy who,

if you're not from Texas, you might not have a huge

impression of Abbott.

It's interesting when I talk to people outside of Texas, what I hear typically is, oh, I wish we had a governor like yours who didn't lock down the whole time and has lifted all these mandates and all that.

It's the exact opposite of what I hear from people in Texas who are just angry at him for ever having the mandates.

Yes.

Right.

That's basically the way this breaks down.

And you talk to, I was talking to Andrew Wilkow, also from Plays TV, our friend from up, he lives in New Jersey, I think.

Now, his impression of how good of a job Greg Abbott is doing is quite different.

than I think someone who's living in Texas.

They wouldn't let us out of our house for 14 months.

So we would love to have anyone who would, who would allow that.

I mean, you know, we, I,

the, everything closed down on basically it was March 16th, was March 15th or 16th was the day that, you know, Trump did the 15 days to start the, uh, to stop the spread speech.

And

that led to, of course, uh, another month of uh of slowing the spread.

So it turned into to the end of April,

where basically nationally, we were shut down for six weeks.

Uh, on May 1st, I went out to a restaurant down the street from this facility.

It was 25% capacity.

I don't even know if they hit 25% capacity at the restaurant I was at, but damn, I was at it.

I was there shoveling food down my gullet.

Isn't that where you contracted COVID as well?

Not till later.

I got at a restaurant in Texas much later, Pat.

You know, you bring up a sore, as a COVID-19 survivor, you bring up a very sore subject there.

But yes, that

it did happen.

It's not a terrible point by you, right?

But yes, it did happen, and it can happen.

I mean, it definitely is a risk.

But again, it was my choice to go out and shovel food down my gullet in the middle of a pandemic.

You know, it was my choice.

And having COVID-19 for you was a lot like not having COVID-19, right?

Yes, it was

asymptomatic for me.

It was just basically staying home for 10 days.

Yeah.

Which was not fun.

I didn't necessarily enjoy it.

We did have some fun family times, but when you really can't go out for any reason

when you have it, but still,

you get through those times.

My point, though, with Abbott, though, is that it was, as compared to the nation, he was definitely on the leaning freedom side of the transaction.

However, for Texas, you know, nothing but perfection will do in these situations.

And Abbott has had some problems.

I mean,

he's, you know, but some people just got unreasonably pissed at him.

Like, really, like, just done with him.

I'm done with him forever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's, it definitely was the, at least around,

and look, I, I work at the Blaze, which a bunch of people who are very conservative and very outspoken.

So I did hear maybe more than the average Texan did.

I mean, you look at it, it's like they just did a poll on Greg Abbott's approval rating within the Republican Party.

He has a 77% approval rating among Republicans.

You should be able to win that way.

If you have a 77% approval, you should should win.

It's amazing that he has this many challengers when you have a 77% approval rating.

Though he's got some challengers and some real ones, like Alan West is a real challenger.

Alan West is a real challenger.

Chad Prayer's really popular,

particularly in Texas.

You know,

Don Hufffein has a lot of money.

I don't know.

But again, it's a well-funded candidate is a big challenge to

a person.

In the poll I just saw, Prather was actually ahead 42 to 35% over Allen West.

And then I think

Abbott was it 30 or somewhere in there?

He was actually in the lead as far as the Republicans are concerned.

It's interesting.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I think these things are,

we're in the middle of a cycle, to take it out of Texas here for a second.

We're in the middle of a cycle where there's a

there's going to be a cycle here of

retribution, essentially, for for what happened in the pandemic, right?

I think we're seeing that on the streets right now.

We're seeing that from in political parties where if you didn't do what your base thinks is the right thing, you're going to be targeted and punished and

taken during these primaries and people are going to try to exploit it.

It was like when we had a series of this, you know, after 2016, there were obviously the Republican Party was sort of split on people who really liked Trump and people who didn't like Trump.

And the people who spoke out against Trump had a lot of primary challenges from people who were very, very pro-Trump.

You know, we're seeing that now happen with anyone who voted for like, like, the impeachment, for example, or, you know, people who spoke out like, you know, obviously the most obvious one is Liz Cheney, right?

There are lighting.

There's probably going to be 97 people, right?

It's Liz Cheney in the next primary because there's a dividing line there.

And I think the same thing is going to happen with COVID.

You know, there's a lot of people, some Republicans did not go as far on the freedom scale as many southern states did.

And it's also the reason why you're seeing people circle around Ron DeSantis as a guy who people like because they liked what he did during that period.

It was a test, Pat, right?

It was a test of your principles.

You know, what do you do in a really difficult situation?

Do you still favor freedom?

Or is it only when you're running for office?

And many of these, even Republican governors, are finding out, like, oh, gosh, maybe I should have

been on the side of freedom.

Yeah.

Because even, look,

you're not, people tried to take that as like, well, if you're on the side of quote-unquote freedom, you're trying to kill grandma.

And it's like, well, no.

You're on the side of freedom.

You're letting people make their own decisions.

And look, in a

grandma.

And that also includes like how you're affecting others, right?

I mean, a pandemic is not just an isolated act.

We all know that.

That's the problem with a pandemic.

But people have

the right to be able

to take the risks that they feel are necessary and also take their responsibilities of actions that

might not be so

thoughtful, right?

There's definitely more of those people too.

So I think this is going to be one of those dividing lines that lasts for a very long time.

And we're going to have

no choice but to deal with it, especially when it comes to financial matters, because our country has spent so much money.

And when I say spent money, what I mean is they printed it.

I mean,

it's like to say that they were spending money that existed before 2020 is sort of

a false way of looking at it.

I mean, we've just done everything that we were terrified of as conservatives all at once within an 18-month period.

And we still got three, four, five, six trillion dollars to go here.

They're going to spend more.

They're doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on this stuff.

And you just have to believe there is a point that

wherever there's a breaking point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And we don't even have to print it anymore.

That's the beauty of it.

We just digitize it.

That makes it even more fun to spend.

It is.

It's just a number.

Numbers on a screen.

That's all it is.

It's a number.

We don't even have to do the paper anymore.

So it's so easy to spend money now.

And nobody even bats an eye

at a billion dollars or $10 billion or $50 billion anymore.

That doesn't even phase people.

You don't even think, oh my gosh, we're going to spend $50 billion on that.

They don't care because

it doesn't even have an impact until you get to trillions now.

We've become so used to hearing the billion-dollar figure.

It used to be millions and hundreds of millions.

Then it was billions.

Now

you're not even phased unless you hear that we're going to spend a trillion dollars.

And even then, maybe not very much.

You're not worried about it.

And this is not, it wasn't that long ago that the word trillion was poison to even Democrats.

If you remember going through the post-2008 recovery period, Barack Obama gets elected.

He comes in.

Big conversation.

He wants to spend $787 billion

on, I think

that was the recovery one, the stimulus, right?

And then he wanted Obamacare.

They worked very hard to manipulate the numbers to keep it under $1 trillion.

And the final cost was in the 900 billions.

Now, of course, it wasn't actually in the 900 billions, but that's how they presented it.

And the media, of course, went along with it.

But they thought if it hit a trillion, the American people will revolt against it.

Now, the American people still sort of revolted against it, at least back then.

Now,

now they don't even care.

Now they don't even care.

Now it's part of our culture.

And as we said, as soon as this gets, it becomes something that is yours, something you are owed, it will never go away.

And that's where we are with Obamacare now, obviously.

But at that time,

they didn't think it was going to pass.

Remember, they had 60 votes and they were doing this.

They had 60 votes in the Senate and they were saying, we can't get it over a trillion dollars.

It will never get approved.

And now we're at the point where we're like, well, if we have 50 votes, we can pass a $5 trillion bill, right?

And in the American League, yeah, of course you can.

You got 50 votes.

Yeah, sure.

Go ahead.

No problem.

And to help you, we'll take Republican responsibility for another trillion in infrastructure just to make your job a little easier.

Just to make so you can get that extra trillion.

You don't have to make it a $6 trillion bill.

Make it a $5 trillion bill.

We'll take the other trillion on with you.

And it all happened so fast.

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

It's Pat and Stuffer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Triple-8-727-BECK.

And at Pat Unleashed on Twitter.

Let's see.

Did you see that Queen,

the greatest hits of Queen, were number one on iTunes over the weekend?

No.

An album that is 40 years old this year was number one over the weekend.

And number two was Joni Mitchell and her blue album from 1971, I think, which was 50 years old this year.

Where is that coming from?

Is that because of the anniversary?

Is it getting like a lot of promotion?

Yeah, I think so.

I think they probably re-digitized it and spruced it up and then re-released.

And so they shot to number one and number two.

Can you imagine when we were kids, like in 1981, you think of an album that was was 40 years old.

It would have been 1941.

I can't imagine that happening then.

An album from 1941.

Going number one in 1981.

This is not a game we should play.

No, it makes me feel really bad about my life.

Me too.

You know, like they did this all the time with the September 11th thing.

Now, September 11th is a moment in my life that I remember vividly.

I remember being on the phone with Glenn Beck when the second plane hit the tower.

And

like, that's a vivid moment in my life in my career

and that was now

20

20 years

ago yeah this September 11th we'll be we'll be commemorating the 20th anniversary and 20 years before that

I was five

the same distance from now two I was you were five no I was three you were three you were a little younger yeah you were

a little younger but I mean like I that's like the first thing I can ever remember was probably five years old, right?

And it's like, yeah, that's the same distance from now to September 11th.

Holy crap, am I getting old?

And that it hits you

in weird ways.

You start playing this game, you start getting a 40-year game, yeah, then you're starting to hurt yourself.

40 years, it's just crazy.

You know, it's interesting, though, how Queen has held up.

I think that the real musicians and the real

musical bands kind of tend to hold up over the years years.

Yeah.

And have some staying power.

Like Queen.

And so that when kids are subjected to the music, they're like, yeah, that's pretty good.

They can handle it.

They don't want to kill themselves.

Yeah.

The singer's actually singing notes, and the guitarist can actually play the guitar.

Huh.

That's really something.

It's an interesting idea.

It is.

And not one that I considered.

It is.

Should the people who are singing the songs actually play the instruments too?

It's a radical concept.

It's a crazy idea.

It honestly honestly is.

It's a radical concept.

The guy who developed the mRNA

treatment,

his name is Robert Malone.

Oh, we know Robert.

Yeah, he did three days in a row on this show, right?

He basically became the co-host of the program for multiple days.

When was that?

The last week Glenn was here, I think, right?

Really?

A couple weeks ago?

Okay.

So, yeah, if you want to go back and listen to the archives, it's available on the podcast.

Three days in a row for Robert Malone.

Well, Well, his LinkedIn account was just deleted this last week.

Oh, God.

You know what?

That's the nicest thing you can do for somebody-delete their LinkedIn account.

If there's anything

that's a blessing in disguise, it is.

Someone, whoever owns, whoever is overseeing big tech right now, is like, you know what?

I really like that Robert Malone.

Delete his LinkedIn account because it's the best thing that could ever happen to a human being is not have one.

He doesn't seem to think so.

You and I both would agree.

Them deleting your LinkedIn account.

Thank you.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

Please.

So am I.

If I had a choice

of someone giving me a check for $8 million and my LinkedIn account being deleted, I would get my LinkedIn account deleted.

Yes.

That is where I am with it.

How many emails can they send you?

It's like as if they have

just set up giant rooms of servers just to send me email.

Yes.

I've never even signed.

I don't even have a LinkedIn account.

Why do I get so many messages from them?

It's incredible.

It's incredible.

But Robert Malone was actually a little offended.

Yeah.

Probably off topic.

And he said, my business pays for LinkedIn in premium.

So that's true.

He's been paying for this service.

I don't know why you would, but he did.

I've been deleted, purchased a service from LinkedIn to promote my company.

This is very different from the YouTube or Twitter terms.

This arbitrary and capricious action has damaged our business, and we deserve to be compensated.

Jeez.

Given no notice, no warnings, 10 to 15-year-old account has never had a warning, and then they just deleted him because he said there were problems with the mRNA delivery device.

Even if you disagree with what he's saying, you know what I mean?

There's no reason to silence people.

No, people

discuss it.

Discuss it.

Marketplace ideas

this whole thing.

Yeah, I don't understand it.

It's just fascism.

Pat Rand, Stupid Gear, in this week for Glenn, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Another story that's breaking

that doesn't seem to be getting a lot of coverage.

And it's not even about Hunter Biden.

This is about his dad.

You might have heard of his dad, Joe.

Yeah, he's the guy that gets ice cream.

You might know him as the guy who's at all the ice cream stores around America every day.

Yeah.

That guy.

And always buys vanilla, which is racist?

You bet.

Is that what he's?

Because the other is like, what flavor did you get?

I thought he was saying like, double chocolate chip.

Vanilla.

I had a vanilla.

I mean, look, vanilla is available.

I'm going to take it.

If it's the only option, I'm going to

option.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I'm never going to an ice cream specialty store and ordering vanilla.

Who's doing that?

Why would you?

You don't order vanilla.

You order one of the crazy flavors with all the toppings and stuff mixed in.

That's what you do.

That's what you do.

They don't order vanilla.

I mean, is vanilla a big like if you you have 30 flavors of ice cream, is vanilla still like the.

Oh, yeah, it's a big, it's number one.

It's number one, but that's, that's, that's unfair, right?

Like, I'm saying, like, how does it do versus the other flavors?

Like, you expect vanilla chocolate strawberry to be probably the top three.

Maybe you get a cookie dough, a chocolate chip mixed in, something like that.

The basics are going to obviously outdo the other, the other flavors.

But you can do so many things with vanilla.

I think that's why.

You can add sauces to it and whatever else.

Meat.

Bacon.

People put bacon on the fridge.

As a man who owns a cookie company that had a bacon-based cookie very recently,

Kexie cookies.

Yeah.

Yes.

You can do it.

By the way, you'd get those at kexi.com.

Thank you.

By the way, I ordered some this weekend.

Did you?

Here we have Pat's cookie company is on Uber Eats.

Now, I could, I suppose, just call Pat up and say, hey, Pat, can I get some cookies?

Yeah, you could.

But that means I have to talk to people.

Yeah.

You know, make phone calls

with human interaction.

No.

So I just Uber Eats going on there.

And they brought over the butterbeer one,

which is amazing, by the way.

I will say

that is not

a commercial.

That's just legitimately

adoration for your freaking cookies.

They're delicious.

Okay, so this is the Hunter Biden story.

Okay.

But it's actually not really Hunter Biden.

This is what I think is the most important part.

This is not a Hunter Biden story.

This is a Joe Biden story.

Joe Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.,

the president of the United States.

You believe there's at least two of those?

Why would you do that?

Why would you do that to somebody?

Name them Robinette.

Robinette.

No, it's just wrong.

It's wrong.

It sounds like, you know how Robin is Batman's sidekick?

Robinette is Robin's sidekick.

And it's maybe his female sidekick because it's Robinette.

I feel like it's Robin's transgendered sidekick, is Robinette.

Maybe it's what Robinette does.

Maybe it's what Robin does on the weekends.

Okay.

He becomes Robinette and he goes to certain clubs that

he wouldn't normally go to.

Maybe he goes to the library and reads to kids on the weekends.

I don't know.

Maybe.

I mean, you can't wear that costume everywhere.

Right.

Sometimes you're wearing a different costume.

Maybe it's a dress.

We'll see.

Back to the story.

For a man who says he knows nothing, this is from Hot Air, by the way, who knows nothing about his son's business dealings, Joe Biden keeps popping up in emails that point to a different conclusion.

That laptop of Hunter Biden's that most of the American media has chosen to ignore has produced yet another interesting story.

As attorney Jonathan Turley reasons, it appears that Joe Biden is in fact aware that his son peddles influence and helped him to do so as vice president.

Now, this is going to get into some

basic,

sometimes we get into these little stories of corruption, and because we aren't all familiar with all the players in these stories, they can get a little overwhelming.

So we'll summarize here in a second, but let me at least give you some of these details.

Hunter and Biden family friend Jeff Cooper hatched a plan in 2013 to invest in multiple businesses in Mexico and Latin America using their relationship with the Mexican billionaire Aleman family with late patriarch Miguel Aleman Valdez, who served as president of Mexico.

Cooper, an attorney who worked with Hunter's late brother Bo Biden on asbestos claims,

donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Biden political campaigns over the years.

Was particularly excited by the venture's prospects, writing to Hunter in February 2013:

This is setting up to be flippin' gigantic, brother.

I do respect the fact that they were not swearing.

Yeah, better than Hunter's record on his private messages, where he's using racial slurs constantly.

Flippin' was the choice here, and I do appreciate that.

Well, that's because it's Bo.

You know, Bo was the good son, right?

I think even Joe would say that.

I think even Joe would say that.

Even Hunter would probably honestly say that.

The prospects for profit only grew when Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma the following year.

He and Cooper sought the help of Valdez's grandson, an airline CEO, to forge a relationship with the richest man in Latin America, Carlos Slim, in an attempt to cash in on the privatization of the giant state-owned company Pemrex for Burisma and themselves.

While Hunter and Cooper were working on their business plans, they managed to get the billionaires, Slim, Velasco, and Magnani, a private meeting with then Vice President Joe Biden.

So step back for a second now.

You got all the names, you might not remember them, but family friend and business associates of Hunter

meeting with billionaires all over Latin America and getting those billionaires meetings with the Vice President of the United States.

Here are the details.

Hunter and Cooper attended the meeting.

Photos on Hunter's laptop, dated November 19th, 2015, show the six men smiling and hugging in the the meeting in Joe Biden's vice presidential residence at number one Observatory Circle, Washington, D.C.

Emails also show the billionaires met with Joe at the White House.

It is unclear, if anything, what was discussed with the Mexican billionaires.

But of course, this is what

influence peddling is.

Remember, Joe said he knew nothing.

about Hunter's business dealings whatsoever.

He said they had one conversation where it was brought up and he said to Hunter, hey, is everything okay with that?

And he said, yes.

That's what he said publicly, all he knew.

Now, why on earth would he think that his son and a family friend would waltz in to the White House and to the vice presidential residence with multiple Latin American billionaires for a meeting?

and a photo shoot.

Now, again, these are not public photos.

This is not a public meeting.

This was discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop, which is still the most amazing story of all time.

The fact that this guy left this laptop at a computer repair shop is among the craziest things that's ever happened.

Well, was it Russian hacking?

We don't know.

We do know.

We don't.

We don't know.

We do know.

We don't know.

We do know.

It's like the metric system.

We just don't know how to convert that into American.

We don't know.

We just do know.

Just Google it.

You could convert.

So they just don't know.

Russians could have come in, taken it, hacked into it, and then dropped it off at

that computer shop to be fixed.

When this first started,

I would have thought there's no way Hunter Biden just left his laptop at a computer repair shop.

So it could be,

they could just go through and see all of his private correspondence for multiple years.

That's just what happened.

Yeah.

That's just what happened.

He was probably so, I don't know, coked up or whatever, he forgot about it.

Had to be.

And by the way, when you ask him this, he will not deny it.

Right.

Oh, yeah, it could be mine.

Or it could be Russian hacking.

What?

What?

But like, if these things were false by now, he could say, obviously, it's not my laptop.

I didn't have photos with multiple billionaires inside of the Oval Office inside of the White House with my father.

Like, that would be an easy thing to deny.

I could ask you this, Pat.

Pat, have you ever had photos with multiple billionaires inside the vice presidential residence with your father?

No.

That's never happened.

So if I took that laptop right there in front of you and I was scanned the entire thing, I'm not going to find one photo.

Not one photo.

Not one.

No.

So I would know if someone produced a photo like that, that they were lying and it was not your laptop, right?

Right.

That's right.

Unless it's been hacked by Russians.

So I can't say for certain it may have been hacked in the meantime, you know, since last I checked.

Hunter can't do the thing you just did, at least honestly.

No.

Now, he will lie about it, I'm sure, at some point, but this is an amazing.

He doesn't even lie about this at this point.

I mean, he doesn't deny this is his laptop.

He just says that he doesn't, you know, he doesn't know.

He doesn't know for sure.

He doesn't know for sure, which is

stupid.

Of course, it's his.

But again, like, did you drop it off at that place?

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

I don't know.

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

You know, it's amazing, though.

No Republican would be allowed to have that answer.

No Republican would be able to say, I don't know, maybe it's my laptop.

What person doesn't know if it's their laptop?

There's been thousands of messages released.

There's pictures of you hooking up with hookers all over it.

I don't know.

Is that you with the hookers?

Do you remember being with the hookers?

Maybe you don't remember every hooker you've been with, but what about one of these hookers?

Do you remember any of these hookers?

Do any of these hookers, you know, how about this one?

This, this stripper here who happens to be the father of your child.

Do you remember her?

He doesn't seem to even remember the people who he's impregnated.

You remember the Anthony Weiner situation when he first showed his namesake?

And then he was asked about it.

Well, is that yours?

Oh, God.

I wish it was.

I wish it was.

I wish I was that impressive.

That is

one of my favorite political moments.

Awesome.

Because he is

at the same time.

Blatantly lying to the entire country.

He's complimenting his own wiener.

I wish I looked, if I looked like that, I'd be showing that thing off in every spot around America.

I'd be swinging that thing around in libraries all over the country.

It's the same kind of deal.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I wish it was.

I wish it was me.

That's that.

Wow.

Would I love to be endowed like that, you bet?

Turns out it is him.

It is him.

And then he could say, at least at the end, he could say, look, I told you it was impressive.

I was impressed by it before.

I'm impressed by it now.

Shockingly, by the way, he's having trouble

getting hired, Anthony Ween.

That is shocking.

Stunning development.

He just can't seem

to get himself hired.

I will say, though, in a recent interview, and I think this should happen, this should be reality.

In a recent interview, he said he couldn't get a job.

He was having trouble paying the bills.

And he thought to pay the bills, maybe what he could do is sell the laptop that started the whole situation with the Uma Abedin laptop.

Oh, my gosh.

And

that wound up opening up the investigation 10 days before the 2016 election.

That whole scenario started with Anthony Wiener.

People forget that now.

But he said, I still have the laptop.

It's in my closet.

Maybe I should sell it to the MyPillow guy.

And I was like, that needs to happen.

I want Mike Lindell to step.

I told Glenn, you got a museum over here.

You should buy the freaking thing and put it in the museum.

Did he give it away?

I want it behind glass and plastic.

I don't want

to touch it with bare hands.

No, thank you.

You need a toxic waste department to come in here and put it in the museum.

And I want it in a vacuum.

And I want that.

I want an air duct outside of the building.

Like, I don't want to walk in a room with the same air as this thing.

But it would be amazing to see.

I think he should sell it.

You know, I mean,

I don't don't necessarily want Anthony Weiner to get money, but on the other hand, it would be kind of a cool thing.

It would.

Nice museum piece.

It would be.

Things

pretty good over the weekend in Chicago.

You know, they know how to celebrate the 4th.

95, at least 95 people were shot in Chicago over the Independence Day weekend, including two police officers and a six-year-old girl.

16, at least 16 people died.

I mean,

the stiffest gun laws in the country.

And

time after time after time after time, we're reading about weekends like this in Chicago.

That's because all the guns are coming from small suburban towns in in red states.

In like Idaho.

Right.

There's that Idaho to Chicago pipeline.

Oh my gosh.

What happens is all of the gangs leave Chicago and they go on train trips to Idaho and they go to the small, like a town of like a thousand people.

Okay.

Very red, big Trump voters where the gun laws are more lax.

And they go in, they legally buy those guns and then they bring them back to kill people.

By train.

By train.

By train.

In

Chicago.

You can't really fly with all the guns.

So they have to go.

But they don't even take

the Amtrak trains.

They take the nice scenic, like the steam trains.

They just like it.

They're all timey people, the gangs, big old timey people.

This is the picture they try to set.

Yeah.

Like, oh, well, what they're doing is they're not going to be able to get

from somewhere else.

Yeah, they come from somewhere else.

They come from the red state areas.

That's where all the guns are coming from.

No.

You know what?

The gangs aren't flying in to Texas to buy their guns.

That's not what's happening.

If they're coming from anywhere else, here's where they're coming from.

The southern border.

They're coming across the southern border, and those illegal guns are being used in cities across America.

That's happening.

It's happening often where people go into legal gun owners' facilities and steal guns.

Not sure what gun law, because my understanding is it's illegal to steal a gun.

I'm not sure what gun law stops that.

But in reality, that that is,

that's where they're coming from.

They're not coming, like, there's not like, you know, gang leaders are like going into the local gun shop in Wyoming and just saying, ah, I'd like to get, do you have 175

AR-15s we could snag from you?

Is there any?

Is you mine?

It's just asinine.

It's obviously not happening.

And they're not, by the way, it's also not ghost guns.

These guys aren't building their own guns themselves.

That's not what's happening.

But that is what we're told.

So, and we're supposed to believe it.

Oh, and by the way, I lied.

It wasn't 95.

It was a 100 people shot over the weekend.

Just 100 fatally.

Could have been 1,500.

It could have been.

But it was only 100.

But just 100.

So, good weekend in Chicago.

This is the Glenn Back program.

You know what you want in your entertainment and sports network?

I don't know, like, what would you call a network like

maybe BSPN?

You want politics.

That's what I want.

And they continually deliver.

And it's great.

Although, this little situation that's developing or that developed

is kind of behind-the-scenes stuff.

And we'll get into that, tell you what's going on there.

Also, we've got some amazing video from Georgetown and American Universities.

And you can see

it'll cause you some

maybe consternation, perhaps, for

what our children believe about this country.

That and more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

I don't know about you, but I tend to think that there are some experiences in life better left unlived.

Take identity theft, for example.

I really don't have to go through it to know that it sucks.

I can kind of figure out that that one is something I want to avoid, and I can figure figure that out in my head.

I don't need to experience it.

If you feel the same way, then what are you doing about it?

What are you doing to make sure that you don't have to live through it?

Because what you should be doing is getting Life Lock.

It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet, and Life Lock helps detect a wide range of identity threats.

They'll send you an alert.

Plus, you'll have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.

You can check out my show, Pacqurade Unleashed, right before this one, every single day on the Blaze Radio and TV network, or anytime you get your podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts.

Now, I think that like Stu Does America, that's a lot harder to get to, isn't it?

You think?

Really?

Well, here's what you have to do.

All right.

If you go to YouTube and you search for

Stu.

Stew.

Like Like S-T-E-W, like a

S-T-U.

Oh, okay.

All right.

And what will happen is you'll see Studos America, the channel you should subscribe to.

I will see it.

And then I subscribe and then I rate it.

Yeah.

Just type.

How many?

Like one and a half stars?

Five stars.

Five stars.

Is the appropriate number of stars?

Would you say for both?

I think for both those programs,

they both deserve five stars.

They're great programs.

Yeah.

And you should definitely rate them five stars.

Also available, of course, on all the podcast platforms you may happen to frequent, as well as this radio show every day.

You can get it for free.

Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

You should definitely do that.

ESPN having a little issue again.

ESPN seemingly always having some issues lately.

But this one's kind of a non-issue to me.

I mean,

I don't...

Did she, did Rachel Nichols really do something really horrible?

Yes.

She did.

She did something.

She did

horrible, Pat.

Okay, tell me about it because I was under the mistaken impression that it wasn't that big a deal.

Oh, my God.

What?

Yeah, I was.

You best.

But maybe I don't know the full story.

Apparently not.

Okay.

So Rachel Nichols is a broadcaster

on ESPN.

She's one of the main NBA

hosts of their, you know, their post-game show or whatever, pre-game show.

Seen her many, many times.

Yep.

Very well known.

She apparently had an issue where she left on her microphone.

You cannot do this in today's society.

Cannot.

And had a private conversation, oddly, with one of LeBron James's advisors.

I would have never guessed he had an advisor the way he acts.

I mean, I would have totally assumed he was a bad advisor.

So, whatever, I don't know.

It's a very strange one.

Maybe LeBron ignores everything his advisor advises.

Maybe that's possible.

I will say his comments in here are pretty freaking interesting, too, as a side story

in this conversation.

So

basically, Rachel Nichols wants to be the lead anchor of the NBA coverage and realizes after her very long resume and lots of success and very well known, realizes she's not getting the gig for the 2020 NBA Finals.

Now, why would that happen?

I don't know.

She seems to be highly qualified.

She seems to be well liked by everybody.

I've never heard, you know,

you hear bad, occasionally you'll hear from sports fans.

They don't particularly like female announcers as much.

They seem to like her.

Beth What's her face is a really good example of that?

Beth What's her face?

Beth What's her face, who does play-by-play college football from time to time?

Have you not watched coverage

done by Beth What's her face?

She's not your favorite.

Oh my.

No, not my favorite.

And that's been a standard complaint from guys over the years, right?

I mean, we can admit that that's been something that other guys, not us,

have done.

Beth What's her face is fine?

She's perfectly fine.

But Rachel Nichols has always been she's one of the anchors that i thought has been highly you know well respected sage steel is another one on on espn that i think oh yeah i like really like i never heard a bad word about her female announcers can do great jobs and

whatever so what's interesting here is she's off camera she realizes she's losing this gig she's losing this gig to maria taylor now maria taylor is an is a woman as well an african-american woman

Now,

think about you in this situation for a second.

If you're Rachel Nichols, you've just lost your big primetime gig, right?

You're pissed off about it.

Now, people at times in those private conversations might say stuff that, you know, like they don't necessarily have evidence of, but they're, you know, expressing frustration.

And especially if, like she says it is, it's in your contract that you're going to have that gig.

Right.

This is her thing.

That's what you'd especially be upset about.

Yeah.

So here's what she says in a private conversation.

She says, I wish Maria Taylor all the success in the world.

She covers football.

She covers basketball.

If you need to give her more things to do because you're feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity, which by the way, I know personally from the female side of it, like, go for it.

Just find it somewhere else.

You're not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.

End quote.

Uh-oh.

This has been,

this is the type of thing at ESPN that it gets turned into an international incident.

Now, what's fascinating about this is someone, we don't know who.

Who could could it be?

I don't know.

I don't have evidence as to who it was.

But I will say someone held on to this recording for like a year

and has now somehow gotten it to the New York Times right around the moment Maria Taylor is renegotiating her contract with ESPN.

Now, look, who could it be?

It could be anyone in the whole world.

It's like the guy in the Netflix series, I think you should leave with Tim Robinson.

Tim Robinson's dressed up as a hot dog in a hot dog costume after a hot dog car crashes into a clothing store and they're all looking around.

Who did this?

And the guy in the hot dog costume is saying, I don't know.

Who could it be?

It could be any of us.

It's you in the hot dog costume.

You were driving the hot dog car.

Now, we don't have any evidence that she was driving the hot dog car in this particular situation, but it could be.

Could be.

Let's give us some scenarios.

Could be someone who's aligned with her.

Could be someone random.

Could be someone who just really cared about racial justice, Pat.

Could be someone with just a hardcore belief in racial justice.

Who knows

who it could be?

But it's interesting that it's coming up, particularly at this time,

when apparently the belief is that ESPN has offered Maria Taylor multiple millions of dollars, but she wants multiple millions of dollars more.

She wants something like $8 million a year.

Wow.

At least that's the

reporting going on right now.

I want that too.

I want it too.

I want that too.

Can I just state that now?

I want that too.

I want $8 million a year.

What I find to be completely fascinating about this story, and first of all, it falls right in.

to the Pat Gray sweet spot of liberals eating their own.

Because if you notice the comments from Rachel Nichols, she's not saying it's unfair to give someone a job they don't don't necessarily deserve because of their physical characteristics.

She's saying that's fine.

They should just take away other people's jobs instead of hers.

Right.

Right.

And she's also saying that

she was on this bandwagon already on the female side of it.

So she's actually seemingly for

people being promoted because of their physical characteristics.

Yep.

Because she believes there's been some injustice against those people, right?

So she's not against, she wouldn't say like, i think

i don't think she would summarize her position as i think the best person should get the job no matter what their what their skin color or gender right that's not what she's saying no she's saying women should get diversity hires maybe even uh she's saying that aspn has a bad record on diversity and they should be promoting black women to these roles just don't take my gig i want i want that money not her give me the money give me the job she can take some white guy's job is basically what she's saying.

And does ESPN have a bad record on diversity?

Because

there are approximately three white men who work at ESPN now, I think, at this point.

I mean, I look.

I don't care.

I really don't care.

If you're going to say they have a problem with diversity, there's women and BIPOCs everywhere on the network.

Yeah.

There's, like you said, maybe three white people left.

Is that too many?

Yeah.

I mean, look at our own Jason Woodlock, who works here

at Blaze TV now, just started.

By the way, his show is starting up.

I don't know if it started yet.

It's coming soon.

He's got a podcast coming out and everything.

He's a great host.

When he was at ESPN, they started, what was it, the Undefeated?

It was basically supposed to cover

the intersection of race and sports.

And Jason was one of the people who started it.

And if you know Jason and his views on race and sports and that intersection, they are not approved.

Not ESPN approved.

By ESPN anymore.

That's for sure.

And so he's certainly no longer there.

And they took it in a totally different direction, which was essentially if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran a sports publication, right?

Like that's what it is now.

Which is so weird because the average sports fan is not there.

Yeah, and the average sports fan is not going to the site either.

It's more of a political move now than something that could have been really interesting.

If you look back at some of Jason's work when he was there, I mean, some of it's fantastic.

He's always great, Jason, but I mean, like, it's fantastic.

So what I find to be fascinating about this story, though, is

let's just play game theory here for a second, Pat.

How would you win in this scenario?

Okay.

How would you win?

We know that Rachel Nichols is in trouble.

Why?

Because she said they were promoting Maria Taylor to this job because she's a black woman, right?

They're trying to just solve these diversity problems.

So they've promoted a black woman into this role, right?

Yep.

What's fascinating about that is that this is specifically the request from the left that you promote people because

they are black women, right?

Back in the day,

The position of everybody was hire the best person for the job.

Don't notice their skin color.

You shouldn't be noticing their skin color.

Okay?

The new request is the opposite of that.

It's you must notice their skin color.

You should give people who are, let's say, African American, a leg up,

whether they are the best person for the job or not.

You have to give a black person the job, right?

We saw this with the Lynn Manuel Miranda movie that came out recently in the Heights, I think it was called, where they got in trouble because they hired almost exclusively Hispanic actors, but not dark-skinned Hispanic actors or not dark-skinned enough.

So it wasn't about that the actors and the singers and the dancers did a bad job or they weren't the most qualified, is that they didn't have dark enough skin to please the woke crowd.

So what Rachel Nichols is saying and getting in trouble for

and accusing ESPN of doing is the exact thing the woke people are requiring.

So, how could you possibly win in this situation?

If you say

they only put this black woman in this role because she's black, you're bad.

However, the woke left is also saying you must put this black woman in this role because she's black.

They're saying both sides of the issue, it's impossible to win.

First of all, second of all, you shouldn't even be trying to win.

Because it's, you know, anti-American to, and I think completely wrong, to make decisions based on skin color.

It's a thing I've had for a while.

I've had this weird inkling throughout my entire life that you should make approximately, exactly, zero decisions in your entire life based on skin color.

That's kind of my philosophy.

Where are you getting that kind of nonsense?

There was a couple people who brought it up.

Who else would have felt like that?

Yeah, I know.

That's ridiculous.

It's an outlier of a position to take.

It is now.

It is now.

Who wants wants it?

You know,

MLK is not welcome in the movement anymore.

Yeah.

Someone's, you know, there's this book, Anti-Racist Baby, that we've talked about a few times from Ibram X.

Kendi.

And it's basically a way to indoctrinate people into this,

babies, literally babies, into this hardcore left-wing woke ideology, you know, critical race theory.

It's all involved in this, even though it's occasionally denied.

And someone asked someone that I know, hey, like, you know, why don't you, you know, they posted something negative about anti-racist baby.

And

they were like, well, why, why don't you like,

why don't you, what's wrong with it being an anti-racist?

It's like, well, I prefer the way MLK went about it.

That's, that's the problem here.

I prefer the way MLK thought about it.

And I, what, what is, what we have now is this idea that we should discriminate against certain groups to try to even some score done by their ancient ancient relatives.

Like, that's what I call nuts.

Yep.

And wrong.

And, you know, I'm not going to teach my kids that.

I'm not going to teach babies that.

I think that's the wrong thing to teach them.

And it's amazing to see ESPN try to figure out how to navigate this situation because one is saying you should be woke for women.

The other person is saying you should be woke for black women.

And ESPN should be saying, hey, put the best host on the air.

Who's the best host?

Put them on the air.

And they can't even do that.

Can't do it anymore.

Incredible.

Triple 8727, B-E-C-K.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Peck program, 888-727, B-E-C-K.

Here's another example of liberals eating their own.

Gwen Berry, who turned her back.

on the flag and the national anthem last week and took all the attention from the gold and silver medal winners and put placed it on her in the hammer throw competition to see who were going to be our U.S.

Olympians in that competition.

You know,

she's getting some of her own medicine because

what the left loves to do is look at your tweets from last week, last month, last year, or last decade, and then beat you over the head with them.

Well, somebody looked into the past tweets of Gwen Berry.

Oh, no.

And, ooh, there's some nasty stuff in there.

This sounds like it's about to take a sad turn, Pat.

It really is about to, Stu, because she has said some nasty things in the past.

Like

after watching a video of a little white kid acting up, she says this little white boy being bad as hell, I would smack his ass, then stomp him.

Hmm, stomping a child.

Shaking my head.

White people, kids.

Hella disrespectful.

Now, I happen to, I've seen your car before, Pat, and you have a bumper sticker that says white people, kids, hella disrespectful.

Hella disrespectful, I do.

So you're on that train.

Yeah, I am.

But I think it's okay for me because I'm a white person.

You're a white person.

So you can say those things.

I can go ahead and criticize white people.

Yes.

You can say those words.

Yes.

It's not okay.

for Gwen Berry to say them.

Exactly right.

Even though they might be the same words,

it's okay for you to call for stomping children.

If they're white.

If they're white.

Not okay for her to do it.

Not her.

That is not cool.

It's not cool at all.

Then she says, another tweet, just saw this girl wearing heels with white socks.

What the hell?

Hashtag Chinese people.

Always trying to start new trends.

Shaking my head, girl.

Is there a big use on Twitter for hashtag Chinese people?

I don't know.

Maybe there is.

And I will say, by the way, one interesting thing is the word girl, G-I-R-L.

Yeah.

Not G-U-R-L.

Just in case you're not.

G-G-G-U-U-U-R-R-R-L-L-L.

That doesn't work.

Now, have you ever gone and searched hashtag Chinese people always trying to start new trends?

I didn't know.

I have not.

That was a big thing.

But again, maybe it is.

So we don't understand all parts of culture.

Exactly.

Then there's a apparently you do know about this trend, I'm pretty sure.

Mexicans just don't care about people.

It's all okay.

In 2020, just generalize an entire country that doesn't care.

I don't care about it.

And you know what?

Saying disparaging things about Mexicans.

I've never seen that burn anyone.

Right?

Never.

It's been

universally approved and cheered on by the media, I've noticed.

Oh, man.

I will say, she also, they say that she made light of rape during a tweet when she said, I'm about to rape my lunch.

I will say that.

That just made me laugh.

I know I'm not supposed to laugh at it, but it did make me laugh.

Yeah.

You shouldn't rape rape your lunch fault.

No, you shouldn't.

No, come on, think about it.

Do other way, shape, or form.

Uh, by the way, she did also criticize women who she said, Shout out to all the females that are gonna get drunk and get wrecked by four dudes, then cry rape this weekend.

Whoa, so that's way over the Me Too line.

Not allowed to say that.

You can say it about lunch, can't say it about women.

Right.

This is the Glen Back Program.

Miss Pettin Stew for Glenn.

Uh,

I don't know, just when you think things

can't get any worse,

they sort of do.

This campus reform video,

campus reform went out to the Georgetown area with Georgetown students and American university students and asked them about how proud they are about America because it was the 4th of July weekend.

It was Independence Weekend and they just wanted to see where our kids are at.

Nice little heartwarming video, right?

You get some nice reactions, some patriotic people

saying what they love about this country.

Yeah.

And

here's how it went.

Hi, I'm Ophelia Jacobson with Campus Reform.

Today we're in Washington, D.C.

talking with young Americans to see if they're proud to be an American.

Do they think that America is the greatest country in this world?

And if not, can they name it a better country?

Let's find out.

Are you proud to be an American?

No.

I feel embarrassed to be an American every day.

I think a lot of things about this country are really embarrassing.

Just like, I mean, racist history, colonization, even currently, just what's going on with

politics and the cops.

Not really in this climate.

No, like, I'm a black person, so obviously I experience a lot of,

you know, there's like oppression that comes with a lot of people.

She looks oppressed.

Yeah.

Very oppressed.

Not most of the time.

I think sometimes it's just a little embarrassing.

We claim to like support everyone, but you know, we continue to support Israel, which is, you know oh

dislocating quite a few Palestinian people dislocating people yeah you know their shoulders mostly we've dislocated a lot of shoulders proud of what and what is there to be proud about if you're black and being like you know because like it's a still a lot of stuff that goes on for black people like yeah I think that's a complicated question for me I think I I

I think most of the time, no, at least over like the past four years, it's been tricky to

love to be an American.

Half seas on that?

Like partly, because like I feel like there's certain topics where it's like very controversial, but like

I just think that our economy just cares about money and not like our

humans, like yeah, in general.

I wouldn't say that I am as proud as I was, but I would still say there's a little bit of country pride.

Do you think that America is the greatest country in this world?

I think, I mean, like, to be a white person, it's pretty good to live here, but like overall, I don't think it's the greatest country in the world.

Sure.

No.

no no no

no I feel like the American dream is so sought after that it's not even a thing anymore that it's not a thing really

there is an American dream really anymore I mean like I would honestly

rather kind of live somewhere else yes like where I mean

I don't know I'd say that it's like the greatest in like the Olympics, the Olympics.

I don't know.

America's not really known for being like the most hospitable place, even though we have a reputation

where it's like you can come here and do what you want to be, be what you want to be and do what you want to do.

Wait, but that's the opposite.

It's not really

the most welcoming to most people.

Immediately, country.

Can you name a country that's more welcoming than the United States?

Not really.

I don't really know that.

I don't provide much information.

Can you name a better country than the United States, in your opinion?

No.

I'm not sure if I can.

Uh-oh, sadly.

I don't think I can.

Oh, no.

I mean, there's probably

a really tiny European country that's driving.

Good question.

Europe?

Europe's not a country.

Well, you get what I'm saying.

Have you ever considered moving to another country?

Oh, absolutely.

I think I had joked about it.

Like, joked, but was fully serious.

Like, oh, I'm going to move to Canada.

Yeah.

Fully serious.

I personally, I'm the type of person that likes to help people, so

I would actually consider going to someplace with more poverty.

Yeah, possibly.

Would you be willing to give up your U.S.

citizenship?

I want to live in a place with more poverty.

I mean,

it's not that necessary.

I mean, I can still take vacations here.

Definitely, 100%.

Actually, yeah.

Would you say that college has helped shape your perception of being not proud to be an American?

Yes.

I would say, yeah, because I went to HBCU.

So, yeah, definitely.

Yes, absolutely.

I also, I mean, I went to American, which is an extremely liberal bubble school.

So I know it's kind of like lots of liberals just preaching to the choir, but I think I learned a lot that I'm from Georgia, and I would have never learned if I had not taken those classes just about the way the justice system works and zoning laws and everything else.

So any college opened my eyes together.

See, zoning law is a big thing.

Zoning laws are so outrageous in this country.

I'm glad she found out about the zoning laws, because we try to keep that one secret.

Yeah, we do.

We try to kind of sweep that under the rug, the zoning law situation.

That's why American University was created to teach kids about zoning laws.

Zoning laws.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And that's why, by the way, I think it's in their charter.

It is, as a matter of fact.

It is.

And that's also why you have to pay $49,889 per year to go there.

Oh.

The oppression for the zoning law.

For the zoning law, information you're going to get.

The impression of this country, we are terrible at oppressing people.

We really are.

Like the one lady who's like, you know what, it's just terrible to be here, was carrying a bag from Foxtrot Market,

which is

an incredibly upscale market where you buy fine wines and cheeses.

You know, again, like government cheese?

No.

No?

No.

Really?

All sorts of imported cheeses from all around the world, from those poverty countries.

And,

you know,

high-end coffee bar.

It's a very nice place to go.

I mean, as a fan of America, I'm glad there are places like it.

That's how oppressed she is, though.

She has to go there for her cheese.

It doesn't just get delivered to her door.

It's true.

Oh, it could be.

Could be delivered to her door.

Could she like call Uber Eats or post

or whatever?

And she'd be fine to get it.

But this is, she had to walk in the beautiful sunshine on July 4th to go get this one.

It really is amazing to see that because it's so common

and it's just culturally popular.

I just love

the one who wants to live in a place with more poverty.

You know, we just don't have enough poverty for her liking in this country.

And she wants to go to a place with more poverty.

I think that's great.

Because who wants to live in a place that's doing well?

Nobody.

Nobody.

So hopefully she'll be able to find a place like that.

I got a couple of recommendations, but

yeah, you wouldn't want to go to any of them.

No.

But I would.

The country of Europe is nice this time of year.

I will say that.

I will say that.

Oh, that's not a country.

Well, you know what I mean.

Yeah.

No, I really don't.

That's a a continent.

What do you mean?

I'll give you a country you can go live in.

Andorra.

They said tiny countries in Europe, right?

Oh, okay.

Right.

Andorra.

Very nice place to go.

There's a controversy going on there, though.

Is that named after Bewitched mom?

Is that what that is?

Yes.

Okay.

Exactly.

The country of Andorra.

Lots of people from Spain are moving there.

And what they're finding is, in fact, it's become one of the

global place for people who are like YouTube creators to go live because very, very pretty, very statuesque, sort of beautiful country

near and does not have the tax rates of Spain.

So, all these people who are like YouTube creators in Spain are all moving to Andorra because they're paying 10% income tax there.

And the people in Spain are like, all the media in Spain is wrecking them for moving there because they're like, you're abandoning us.

You're not paying our taxes.

You're making all this money on YouTube and you're paying the tax rate in Andorra.

That's not right.

And of course, Andorra also made it easier to get through the pandemic, not constant lockdowns and things like that.

So people went there and are enjoying their lives there.

And it's like almost like there's this incredible idea where you'd have a global competition among countries to make people have the most free life possible.

And people would choose in that market where to go.

As you see, if you've watched the border anytime recently, you've seen a lot of people choosing the United States of America.

But what are we doing now, Pat?

On the July 4th weekend, what are we actually doing?

We are going around to country after country and harassing them to keep their tax rates high so that people don't leave us and go to them.

That's the Biden administration.

They've created a global

agreement.

130 countries are participating in this.

All saying, hey,

don't lower your corporate tax rate too much.

Because if you do that, then people are going to leave us and they're going to go to you.

And we don't want that to happen.

So keep your rates high.

Now, of course, most of the countries involved in the agreement already have tax rates above this level, which I think is 15%, including us.

We've obviously had rates much higher than that until recently.

They're trying to reverse those right now.

But places like Ireland are like, wait a minute.

You want us to raise our corporate income tax so we can be in a global agreement that our citizens don't agree with, that our government doesn't agree with, so we can please the United States so they don't lose corporations to go to Ireland, which, by the way, we should just be out competing and winning.

We're the United States of America.

I don't know.

Make we like basically brought the free market to market.

Yep.

We should be able to outcompete Ireland for business.

Yep.

Instead, we can't.

Our argument now is to go to the world and tell them to keep their tax rates high.

It's outrageous.

Unbelievable.

It's outrageous.

We do have some good news, though.

You know, we just came off

an Independence Day weekend, and so there is some hope.

There are people who do appreciate this nation.

And maybe it's not the college students that go to Georgetown and American University and they're taught to hate this country.

But how about Ozzie Guillain, former professional baseball player from Venezuela on

MLB network, or no, he was on an interview with NBC Sports Chicago, Ozzy Guillain, and he's asked about becoming a U.S.

citizen.

Check this out.

You became an American citizen.

You were born in Venezuela and what this country means to you.

And it was, I got the date right here, January of 2006.

That's when you became an American citizen.

How about this day?

What did that mean for you that day?

Especially.

They don't know

how hard I am.

How many people die, how many people open the thing, how many people want to be American.

It's a very honor for me to do that.

Congratulations.

Hey, you're really emotional right now.

Why are you so emotional and cheering up out now?

Maybe cut back to the studio, guys?

I don't know.

Opportunities, man.

Opportunities.

Opportunity opened the door for me and being great.

I've been living in this country for a long time.

Give my family a great cause and open the door for them to be who they are.

You didn't know that video was coming.

Maybe that came from my advice.

Maybe that was.

Yeah,

it was funny, but I don't cry that often.

I'm very tough, but I've seen that.

But he cries about becoming a U.S.

citizen.

Yes.

I mean, that's awesome.

Yeah, awesome.

There's an, you know, that's an immigrant we want in this country.

Somebody who appreciates it, somebody who understands what America means to them, somebody who chokes up just speaking about becoming a citizen.

That is great stuff.

And when you're fleeing a place like Venezuela, it does

create a lot of emotion.

Yeah.

I mean, think of the life that he would have had had he remained there.

It's a totally different existence for him and his family.

And this story is repeated all over the world.

People come here and

there's nobody better, man.

I mean, like, nobody appreciates this country more than someone coming here from Nigeria and trying to escape

the situation there to come see it here.

Or people who've come from a former Soviet satellite country, I mean,

or you've come here from Cuba.

These are the people that understand

what America offers.

It's so great.

And unfortunately, our kids at Georgetown taking everything for granted.

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

That's Batten Stew for Glenn.

Did you save your 16 cents on your

4th of July meal over the weekend?

Well, I live in a Red State, so it was only 14 cents saved.

Yeah, we got screwed.

That sucks.

An amazing.

Wait, I live in a Red State.

Same one as you.

So I must have only saved 14 cents too.

I think it was the Babylon B that said they're minting new Joe Biden 16 cent coins to honor the 16 cents we all saved on July 4th.

Which pretty much is funny.

Yeah, they're always pretty solid.

So the other thing about the 16 cents is that supermarkets are stockpiling inventory because food costs have gone up so much.

They're stocking up on everything from sugar to frozen meat before they get even more pricey.

Girding for what some executives anticipate will be some of the highest price increases in recent memory.

Your 16 cent savings is going to go away, even if, I mean, as if you had 16 cent savings.

Some supermarkets say they're buying and storing supplies to keep their shelves full amid stronger demand.

Grocery sales in the U.S.

for the week ending June 19th rose about 15% from two years earlier.

15%.

Stockpiling by food retailers is driving shortage of some staples, and that's driving up prices too.

But when you go to the supermarket, i i i don't know where the biden administration shopped to get that 16 cent savings

because

uh if you're buying meat and meat was included they they included some ground beef but

wow where i shop it's up a lot meat price of course you don't buy meat so no but the the household does for sure and i mean you can just tell all the prices are up i mean it's obvious gas prices are really noticeable i mean you notice that every single time you go to the bump filled up this morning

$71 to fill my tank.

$71.

God.

That's just crazy.

$71.

Yeah.

But I saved 16 cents last week when I bought, you know, watermelon.

And

did you, though?

No.

Probably not.

No.

It didn't seem like I saved 16 cents.

It didn't.

This isn't working out so well so far.

It's really not.

It would be my summary of it.

The whole Biden administration.

It's not working out so well so far.

It's kind of a radical statement.

I mean, we had a couple hundred good years.

Maybe this, you know,

we shouldn't get greedy.

We shouldn't get greedy, right?

This is too much.

What do we expect?

245 more?

I mean, come on.

Let's just call it a day and look back at our past and be happy.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
