Another Leftist Conspiracy Theory Proven Wrong | 6/21/21

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with a class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

That was my father's day.

I watched sports and I cooked out and then went in the pool with the kids.

Like, it was very much the day that you have.

Luckily, I skipped the, I used to hate the mowing the lawn part of every dad's life.

My dad actually owned a landscaping company when I was a kid, and that was his big, big thing.

He didn't have the hustler turf, though.

He didn't have that going on for him.

So, you know, his life was somewhat miserable.

If you have hustler Turf, it's a lot of people like mowing their lawn because you could do it in like nine seconds.

Hustler Turf has these zero-turn lawn mowers.

They're amazing.

They've been perfecting them for over 55 years.

Professional landscapers and homeowners now buy Hustler because of their durability and heavy-duty construction.

You're not going to find any flimsy things stamped on Hustler, but

you can go now and get your hustler.

Go to hustlerturf.com.

Get the lawnmower that's going to make you want to mow your lawn.

Hustlerturf.com.

It's hustlerturf.com.

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

This

is

the Glennbach program.

With Patton Stew today, we've got a great show lined up for you.

Glenn returns tomorrow, but in the meantime, a lot to talk about.

Is COVID-19 over?

Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports declared it such.

Oh.

And had his account suspended, of course, because of it.

You can't do that.

You cannot.

And he's the official declarer, He is.

I believe.

Yeah.

So good thing Jack shut him down right away.

Also, some controversy about just a tragic accident, or was it?

Was it a terrorist act at the Gate Bride Parade?

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

The Glenn Beck program.

So since the pandemic started, one-fifth of homeowners have refinanced their homes.

That's incredible.

20%.

Look, it's a smart decision.

If you haven't been able to do that yet,

you could be missing out on hundreds of dollars per month.

The question is, if you're one of the 80% who hasn't gotten around to it yet, what are you waiting for?

Interest rates are still at very impressive lows.

You might see those go up in the future here.

I know that's what I'm expecting.

American Financing is there for you.

You can do this today.

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

There's There's no obligation, no upfront or hidden fees.

Maybe best of all, there's no pressure.

Very easy.

American Financing isn't working for the banks.

They're working for you.

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

But you know what?

It comes to the same thing.

I mean, it's the same dollar in your pocket.

Don't be one of those 80% who aren't doing this.

Just look it up on Ask Jeeves.

All right, you heard about the tragedy, no doubt, in Fort Lauderdale at the LGBTQQIA 2 Plus Pride Parade.

You're doing double Q there now?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Because I've noticed the Q is sort of

a controversial part of the acronym, if that's what it is.

LGBTQIA 2 Plus

was that way for a while.

And when you look at what the Q means, it would give you several things.

Yeah.

Queer.

Yes.

Questioning.

Yes.

Isn't there one more, too?

I only know about queer questioning, which is why I always do the two Q.

So you double Q.

I am upset that some people leave out either the queer or the questioning.

I don't think either group should be left out.

And it's deep within me, so I say it correctly every time.

L-G-B-T-T-Q-Q-I-I-A-2 plus.

Yes.

And plus

is much worse than the Q.

Because plus seems to just say everything.

Everybody else.

Whatever.

So why not just call it plus?

Because we don't know know what else there is right now, but we're going to discover it soon.

Okay.

So, so can we, so anything that we discover, we have to put in there.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

Within the past.

It would be easy to just say, how about L?

Right.

That would cover G, B, T, Q, I

know about them, so you must use their letters.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's like when they were doing this

AAPI hate, which is API?

Yeah.

Which is.

I'm sorry.

You don't know.

Do you not know?

I do not know

the AAPI.

Okay.

Asian American, and of course, Pat.

Oh, Pacific Islanders.

Pacific Islanders.

Yes.

Yes.

Now, Atlantic Islanders, we don't care if you hate them.

Okay.

If you are from an Atlantic-based island, if you're from Bermuda, we can hate you all we want.

That's totally fine.

But if you're in the Pacific Ocean, then no.

And that island sits there, absolutely, hate is bad.

Now, they should do AAPI plus hate.

And then we'd know,

you know, if you live on the outer banks on an island,

you cannot be hated as much.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

But as of right now, if you're living on, let's say, Tybee Island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, you can be hated.

Wow.

Absolutely fine to hate those people.

But if you're in Tonga, after you're in the middle of the

night, no.

Absolutely not.

Those are PIs, and PIs cannot be hated.

So that's how we get

TQQIA 2 ⁇ .

And, you know, some of the lesser-known

people in that group, the intersex and the asexual, I don't think they get enough airtime.

I really don't.

No.

I don't think they, and that's a hate in and of itself.

Now, on your show, Pat Gray Unleashed, you did do a 14-part series.

I did, yes.

On intersex.

And then a 17-sex.

part series on asexual.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And so you've been giving them the attention they deserve.

I've tried.

I've tried to make make up for it.

The mainstream media.

I'm the only one person, and the mainstream media will not cooperate.

They don't care.

They don't care.

A lot of times they'll just say the LGBT community.

Yeah, they will.

Which is disgusting.

It's despicable and it's hateful.

Because if you don't throw the plus in, then you're really, I mean, at least the plus gives you plausible denial.

Like, well, no, we just included them in the plus.

Right.

Right.

Yes.

But no,

not the media lately.

They've been saying LGBT.

Remember, LGBT.

Because I remember when we started the Blaze, it was GBTV.

And everyone pointed out that we should just add an L and make it LGBTV.

Right.

It would make it a lot easier.

And we'd probably get like funding from the government for our evil right-wing conservative news source.

Sure.

It could have worked.

But we didn't do it.

We did not.

We did not do it.

So, as we celebrate this month, you know, it's not a day.

It's not a week.

We have to celebrate an entire month.

That's

how seriously we take LGBTQQIA 2 plus month.

Pride month is fantastic.

And at a Pride celebration, though, they had a real bad tragedy where a truck ran into a crowd of people, killed one of them, badly injured another.

That person's in the hospital.

So immediately, the Democrat mayor of Fort Lauderdale jumped all over it as a terrorist terrorist attack.

And so did everybody on Twitter.

All the left-wing idiots on Twitter were talking about the terrorist attack, the right-wing extremists, the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, over and over and over and over.

It turns out the person who did it got his foot stuck between the brake and the gas pedal

is actually

a gay person who was participating in the parade and was in fact a member of the gay chorus and was wearing the t-shirt of the gay chorus and just accidentally did I mean it's really sad but for everybody to jump to the conclusion immediately that it's some white enraged homophobic person just not true just not accurate

it's very typical though right so typical there's no reason to believe when a car accident happens that it's terrorism that's you know there's no reason to believe that.

But that's all that these groups seem to care about.

They don't care about the actual people

involved.

They only care about whether they can use it on Twitter to score points.

They get retweets.

I don't even understand it.

It's so crazy.

It's the same thing with Black Lives Matter.

Black lives are like nine zillionth on their list of priorities.

That I promise you.

They don't care.

No doubt.

They don't care.

It has nothing to do with black lives.

We obviously, like, if it had something to do with black lives, they would would be focusing on the 99% of murders that aren't police officers, right?

Like, obviously, they don't care about this.

This is something completely different.

And we're supposed to play along with it and act as if this is an honest, earnest effort when clearly it's not.

Clearly, it's not.

The mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Dean Trentalis, said this is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community.

So again, again, leaving off.

The QQIA2 Plus?

Thank you.

Yes, exactly.

So those people weren't victimized in this.

I guess not.

Just the

lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and trans people were.

They were the only ones, terrorists.

Terrorized.

So no one who was questioning was victimized in this attack.

No.

Okay.

Nor the queer.

What about the Two-Spirit?

No.

They were not victimized.

And again,

I will point out, and I don't want to out you on the air.

That's not my goal here.

Obviously, we're doing, you know, we're doing the show.

We work together.

But your series on on Two Spirits was only eight episodes long, much shorter than your asexual or, and I don't, I mean, I don't even know what your pansexual series was.

I barely could.

I missed it.

I missed a couple of shows and it was over.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

You know, you clearly.

I'm working on eight more episodes.

Okay.

It'll be part two.

It just hasn't happened yet.

Okay.

But it's coming.

Okay.

It's coming soon.

So he says, this is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community.

This is exactly what it is.

Hardly an accident.

It was deliberate.

It was premeditated.

Oh my gosh.

And it was targeted against a specific person.

Luckily, they missed that person, but unfortunately, they hit two other people.

He's alluding to the fact that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was in the area.

Right.

And I think he's saying they were trying to kill her.

This is bizarre because he's providing specifics

of the mindset of the attacker.

That he's just making up.

He's just making them up.

He doesn't know anything about the

mindset of the attacker because there wasn't an attacker.

Right.

And Justin Knight, who is the president of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus.

Oh my God.

Only gay men are involved in this chorus.

So no L's,

no Bs, no T's, no Qs, no other Q, no I, no A, no two, and no pluses.

Right.

That's a hateful organization is what that is.

It is.

It is.

And yet somehow he was allowed to speak.

He said, our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic accident that occurred when the Stonewall Pride Parade was just getting started.

Our fellow chorus members were those injured, and the driver was also a part of the chorus family.

To my knowledge, this was not an attack on the LGBTQ community.

We anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community's love and support.

So the guy, the driver, who supposedly was the, uh you know hate-mongering terrorist is actually part of the gay men's chorus i just

and this all came out pretty quickly too and yet people are just still sticking with their agenda of trying to make this out to be some sort of white supremacy which as we know is the uh the greatest threat that mankind faces today along with climate change yes along with climate change caused by straight white men and their white supremacy Exactly.

But they caused the climate change, which is also a huge threat.

Yes.

To the LGBTQQIA 2 plus community.

More to that community than any other.

Disproportionate.

Disproportionately.

Can I throw in disproportionately?

Whenever you throw in disproportionate, then you know you're being smart, you're being

empathetic.

And you're certainly woke.

Yes.

So I always try to throw in disproportionately.

Because most, you know, they always talk to, they're like, oh, well, look, the genocide of

violence against the LGBTQQIA 2 plus community and

POCs across the world is disproportionately.

It's like, if it's a genocide, you don't need the word disproportionate, right?

Like, that they were never like, you know what?

Hitler is killing a lot of Aryans, but disproportionately, he's focused on Jews.

Like, that's not how that works.

It's really, you never need to make the disproportionate

addition to a genocide.

Now, I don't mean to call you out, Stu, but

you just made the mistake

of calling people POCs.

Right.

People of color.

Right, yes.

You left out the black and indigenous people in the POCs.

It's BIPOC, thank you.

It's B-I-P-O-C.

That's true.

It's the black indigenous people of color, if you would.

From now on, if you could just call them BIPOCs, I would appreciate it.

I believe, by the way, it's just BIPOC.

Okay, a BIPOC.

Because that would be people of colors.

That's true.

And that's not, you can't pluralize that one.

That's true.

Which is hard to do.

So the BIPOC.

Yes.

Yes.

And so black indigenous and then people of color.

Again, that's the people of color is another scam.

It's a plus.

It's like black, indigenous, plus.

Yeah, what colors are we talking about?

Black BIP plus.

And that used to be the knock on saying colored people.

You weren't supposed to say that.

Right.

People of color or colored people because the comeback would be, all right, what color are they?

What?

I don't know.

Just all people of color.

Right.

Non-white people.

I don't know.

Certainly not white people.

They're not involved in the plus.

No.

No.

Now, if they happen to be, let's say, two-spirit

or questioning their two-spiritedness, then they can be involved.

White people are allowed to be involved in the group.

As long as they have some different sexuality, yes.

Some alternate lifestyle, yes.

Then it's okay to include a white person.

But don't you dare.

Don't you dare come to me, some cis-gendered white person.

Don't you do it?

Cisgendered and straight.

I don't want to hear it.

I hate cisgendered white male men.

I hate them.

Don't we all?

You know, they've ruined everything, and they don't deserve to have the plus.

They don't.

They don't deserve it.

They don't deserve to be involved in a plus.

Unless, of course, then, you know, they happen to be LG.

They They identify as

LGBTQQIA2 plus or

or black.

If they identify as black, then it's fine.

Right.

As white people, if they identify as black, then that's okay.

Much more identity politics coming up.

60 seconds.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today, triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

I got a little song from

the Gay Men's Chorus, actually.

They were out encouraging people to get vaccinated.

So you got a couple of great agenda items.

You have the LGBTQQIA2 Plus community singing,

and you have the vaccination thing being drummed into our heads, which is incredibly important.

Not enough

vaccination songs out there.

Not nearly.

We need more of them.

There's only about 15,000.

And we need more of them.

And here's one of them.

Beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

Make an appointment.

Make an appointment.

Vaccinate.

Vaccinate.

Gets with COVID.

Okay.

Vaccinate.

Vaccinate.

Get through the COVID.

Get rid of COVID.

Shots in the arm do hurt.

Just a quick shot.

Gonna make you,

get you to the clinic.

Now is the time to vaccinate and take back our world.

Hmm, this is

a good, right?

Yeah, wow.

Vaccinate.

Vaccinate.

Make it a point, man.

What a dumb dumb society we have.

Oh, my gosh.

All right.

Again, I'm not against the vaccines at all.

No, I'm really not either.

I'm just hesitant.

I'm vaccine hesitant.

You know what, Pat?

That's okay.

You're in the plus.

That puts you in the plus.

Does it?

You can't participate in that choir because that's only for gay men.

Right.

But if it was an LGBTQQIA2 plus chorus, then I could participate.

Yeah.

But like, I don't understand.

Just stand by your product.

Like, the product,

the product works.

People are going to want to take it.

And by the way, two-thirds of adults have taken it.

Right.

Like, so it's not like they act as if 4% of people have had a vaccine.

They're like, we got to get it to 10.

We must get it to 10%.

Two-thirds of people who are eligible to take this vaccine have taken it.

What did you expect?

100%?

Did you really expect this?

I don't know what they expected.

And in the beginning, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Fauci say we need to get to around 70%?

Yeah.

Well, and

he's come out and said he was lying about that.

I mean, he's come out and admitted that he was telling a little fib to the American people

that actually hurt immunity is more like 80 or 90%, not 50 or 60%, as he was saying earlier on, which is like

inexcusable.

It is.

This guy, he's done this several times.

He's done with the lies about the masks.

The mask is the same thing.

Yeah, he's had several of these.

And they're...

It was really bad.

I mean, the last thing, the only thing you can't do is tell people information you know know to be untrue I think everybody would understand if people made mistakes and they did right but yeah and and if you would have said it in in the first place if you would have said look we don't have all the answers yet yeah okay we're looking into it but this disease is too new and we we don't know all of the facts yet yeah you want me to guess I'd say maybe 60 or 70 percent but we don't know yeah like okay I think if you communicate

your lack of certainty, people can make decisions on their own, but that's the last last thing they wanted.

They can trust us.

If you're just honest with us, but he hasn't been from the start.

No, there's been multiple cases of this.

And again, I can totally excuse people for saying something that they thought was true at the beginning and turned out to not be true.

You know, there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Yeah.

Was that a lie?

No, that was not a lie.

But the left certainly labeled it as such, whereas now, oh,

these things just evolve.

You just didn't know at the time.

You can't say something you know to be untrue and act as if it's true for some other

associated agenda and then act like we're supposed to trust your every word and hang on it.

Like, that's just not going to happen.

People learn.

I know the government hates that, but this is what happens.

This is the Glenback program.

So, when it comes comes time to buy or sell a house, what's your plan?

Do you even have one?

I mean, in this market, you really need to have one because the market is going freaking crazy when it comes to housing prices.

And that's why this is such a massive deal.

If you're talking about one of your largest financial transactions you'll ever have in your entire life, you'll ever go through, and you're in the middle of this market, well, you better take advantage of it.

If you are selling a house, you better get that best price.

You better know when to hold out for a better offer.

Maybe not to fix

that thing that they're requesting you fix because it's too good of a market.

You don't have to deal with that stuff right now.

If you're buying, you don't want to overreach.

You need a real estate agent on your side.

You need someone who knows the market, who is going to be able to take advantage of a very unique situation that's going on right now with an exploding housing market and so much going off the market so quickly.

I mean, you list a house and two days later, it seems like it's gone.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to find that person.

Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name kind of says it all.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

This is Glenn's company.

He started it to find the best real estate agents in your area.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Check out my show, Pac Ray Unleashed, every weekday immediately preceding this one, 7 to 9 Eastern, or anytime and anywhere, you get your podcast.

It's Pat and Stuff for Glenn today.

There's an interesting poll, and there have been several of them, And each of them has found about the same percentage of people who believe that Donald Trump will be reinstated as president this year.

Okay.

No, that's not going to happen.

It can't happen.

There is no constitutional mechanism by which this would happen.

Even at this point, if they found 9 million ballots

and it it was proof positive.

And the Biden administration came out and said, Yeah, we did it.

That was us.

We planted all of this.

These are where we put the ballots.

Here's the footage of us doing it.

You really shouldn't have done it.

Thinking back at that moment, we were

living with it, but now we can't.

We feel so guilty about it.

Yeah.

You still couldn't.

There's still no mechanism to get Donald Trump to be.

Like, there's not a way for that to occur unless Joe Biden

got somehow got rid of like Kamala Harris steps down.

Joe Biden names Donald Trump as vice president, and then he steps down.

That'd be about it.

That's about the only way you could get him into becoming president of the United States.

Probably isn't going to happen.

I'd say it's unlikely, less than 30%.

Yeah.

More than unlikely, him being reinstated this year is impossible.

Unless, again, like you said, the unlikelihood of Biden firing Kamala Harris and putting.

He can't even fire Kamala Harris, really, can he?

She'd have to step down.

She was elected, he would.

right?

Right?

So you can't just fire.

But she'd have to step down.

He'd have to select Donald Trump and then

vice president and then Biden would have to step down.

So that's probably your best chance.

Or you got a military coup.

Those are about your two possibilities.

That means there is no constitutional,

there's no way to make that happen.

And, you know, we've seen some people argue that that's a good thing for the country.

It would not be a good thing for the country.

We do not need a military coup in this nation.

You know, look,

I would like my taxes to be lower.

I would like spending to be lower.

There's lots of things,

lots of things here, but that's not.

Would we love it to happen?

Yes.

And we should be clear, though, on these polls.

And you know, I'm a fan of polls generally,

unlike many people probably in the audience.

They are at times inaccurate, but generally speaking, I think they

provide value.

In a situation like this, they don't provide value

because I don't actually think 30% of Republicans believe that Donald Trump is going to be reinstated this year.

What happens in these situations is you have people who

look at the question and answer it based on the fact of, do I think it's good for Donald Trump, right?

I like Donald Trump.

Is this good for Donald Trump?

Yes.

What's this pollster want me to say?

You know what I mean?

They want me to say, well, of course, Donald Trump has no chance of being president again.

Well, I say he does.

I mean, you go back to the polling during the George W.

Bush administration.

I think it was 45% of Democrats said they believed George Bush was responsible for 9-11.

Wow.

It was much higher than 30.

I think it was a plurality of voters said he was responsible for it.

And meaning, and not just like, okay, well, he should have done more to defend, but like he was actually involved in the planning of 9-11.

45% of Democrats said that.

So a lot of these polls where you're asking these outlier sort of things, almost always

designed to try to make Republicans look bad, right?

There's a certain percentage of people that will just side with their guy no matter what.

And that's all that's telling you, I think.

And Trump kind of toys with people's emotions a little bit.

Like in an interview last week with Hannity,

he said while his campaign did not win the 2020 election, he added, but let's see what happens on that.

What do you mean?

Let's see what happens on that.

Nothing's going to happen on that.

The best way for Donald Trump to be reinstated as president of the United States is to run in 2024 and win.

And win.

Like that is the over, I mean, he's the overwhelming favorite to get the nomination.

if he decides to run.

And then he would be in a battle with Joe Biden again, and he'd have a chance of winning it.

Yes.

That is a legitimate chance.

The way that Donald Trump could actually be president.

But it won't happen this year or next year or the year after that.

Or the year after that.

But the year after that is when he'd run again and could win.

And then in 2025, you know, on January 20th, he could be sworn in again.

That's the only way this can really happen constitutionally.

So,

you know, is it fun to think, well, gosh, he's going to get in in August like they've been saying?

Yeah, it's kind of fun to fantasize about that.

It's just not going to happen because it can't.

You know, they did a straw poll at the Western Conservative Conference.

Did you see the results of that?

Did you read about that?

Did you see this in the paper today?

Did you read about that?

Ron DeSantis beat out Donald Trump ever so slightly.

Apparently, you could vote for more than one person.

And so he got, DeSantis got 74.1%.

Trump got 71.4%.

So they were neck and neck.

Basically,

this is a question of whether you think this nominee would be acceptable to you.

Yeah.

And

either one of them would.

Entirely shocking that someone like Ron DeSantis would have a higher number than Trump on that because people who like Trump like DeSantis.

And there's some people who don't like Trump and are not going to like Trump.

And they're going to, DeSantis, people call him a professionalized version of Trump, right?

Where he's like more of, he's got more of that like...

More traditional.

Yeah, more traditional politician stuff, but also...

There's still enough of Trump in him to.

Yeah, he likes to fight with the media.

He likes the kind of big splashy stuff that the base likes.

You know, there's a lot of similarities there as well.

And they seem to like each other.

Yeah.

So it's not shocking, but it is interesting.

I mean, again, that's not how you vote.

You don't get to vote for like all...

I'd like all these people who would be acceptable to me is not how we vote.

You have to pick one.

And again, that comes down to passion, where Donald Trump does oh, so well.

But the top 10 looked like this.

Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz.

It's kind of surprised Cruz was still third.

Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott at number five.

Then you had Christy Noam and Tom Cotton tied,

and then Rand Paul, Donald Trump Jr.,

and Dan Crenshaw, and Mike Pence.

I think Mike Pence

kind of pissed some people off because he was near the top of this list before, but not now.

Now Now he's down at

number 10.

Very interesting.

Going to the Cruz thing for a second.

Really, he's done an amazing job.

He's done like a Taylor Swift, I used to be country, and now I'm pop music star thing.

Here, he's really reborn as a totally different.

As a Trump guy.

I mean, he was a guy who the Trump fans hated.

I mean, believe me, as a guy who really liked Ted Cruz, and when we went out, we followed him on the campaign a couple times.

We covered him.

We talked to him endlessly.

He,

I mean, to tell you that he was the most despised man in the universe to anyone who liked Donald Trump would be an understatement.

I mean, at one point,

they hated him.

And he, in a period of a couple years, was able to transition from like the most hated guy to one of the most loved.

Yeah.

I really, it really is incredible.

I mean, I, I, I don't know what, I'm not sure exactly what that says.

It might just be that the audience,

you know, the voters weren't as, they didn't really hate him as much back then.

They were just mad at him at that moment.

And, you know, he was able to convince them he really is on their side.

You know, it could just be that.

But it is, I don't, I can't remember a lot of examples of what he's been able to accomplish there with the base.

It's been pretty impressive as a political effort.

Because you would, you know, during the campaign, you would say he was anti-Trump, right?

Yeah.

Certainly, he was running against him.

He's actively trying to stop him from being president.

Yes.

But now I think you'd call him a Trump ally.

Oh, totally.

I mean, Trump endorsed him for his race.

They were very, very friendly throughout the 2020 race.

And like,

Cruz is not unique in that way.

There was a lot of people

who went through that transition between 2016 and 2020.

I think what I find amazing about it, though, is like Cruz was really

the

example of that person.

Like he would, I mean, you know, to the point of like, you know, they outwardly hated each other.

I mean, Donald Trump was saying his dad killed Kennedy.

They were at the point where, I don't know how it could have got worse.

And that's, I mean, he was basically calling his wife ugly, right?

Remember this?

We were at that point in the relationship.

That's not a good point in a relationship.

And they were able to patch things up.

And look, there's bigger issues, right, than personal insults.

The country's on the line here.

And I i think you know a couple of adults can can make that determination and move past things but it is it's really been an incredible few years here to watch that transition occur yeah it really has and really i think now cruz is one of the guys who you'd look at and say if

again i don't think anyone has a chance if donald trump runs oh i don't either So right off the bat, I mean, if Donald Trump decides to run,

including DeSantis, including Cruz, any of them.

Right.

But if Donald Trump decides not to run,

let's just say Trump is going to probably endorse someone, right?

Who's he going to endorse?

Assuming, right, that it's not Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump Jr., which I don't necessarily think is in the cards at this point.

If it's not one of his kids, one of his family members that he'd obviously be supporting, who would it be?

And at this point, it could be Cruz over DeSantis.

I mean,

those would be the top two guys, you'd think, though.

Definitely.

Yeah, one or the He certainly wouldn't go with ⁇ I don't think he'd endorse Pompeo.

Although he's ⁇ Pompeo, they have a good relationship, I think.

And I just don't think Pompeo ⁇ and I like Pompeo, generally speaking.

We liked him when he was a congressman.

He doesn't seem to me to be the dynamic

speaker and communicator that you'd necessarily think is going to win a presidential election.

Right.

And he's not, he was never like, I don't think a huge, hugely high on the passion list for Trump supporters.

He was always good, and I think people liked him, but he was never like, you know, I live and die with the Mike Pompeo

way of doing business.

I don't think there was

ever that excitement from the base where DeSantis has that excitement.

Everyone I talk to,

whenever you talk about what's coming up in 2024, people act like DeSantis is a sure thing.

I would have a little bit of caution on that in that we are far away from the election.

Number one, you have the possibility of Donald Trump running, which again, I think means that Ron DeSantis is not probably running and probably almost no one is running.

He's just going to clear the field if he decides to run.

Now, DeSantis could be his VP.

People like the Trump DeSantis possibility.

But DeSantis is also, let me ask you this, just as an observer, Pat.

You're watching these things.

You don't care about the outcome.

You're just a political observer here for a moment.

Is DeSantis peaking too early?

I wonder, you know, he's done a lot of really big, splashy things that have excited the base.

And look, I like what he's done.

I like DeSantis.

I'm a fan of the way he's handled COVID.

Like,

I'm wondering, though, like,

it's hard to maintain this pace for multiple years.

Yeah, for three more years.

Three more years.

I mean, the things he's doing, like these kind of big, splashy things where it's like, you know, we're taking on big tech and we're putting prayer in schools and we're, you know, no

COVID vaccines and vaccine passports on cruise ships and all these things that the base obviously is a fan of.

Big sort of like big announcements, these big policies.

And Abbott has done a bunch of them here as well in Texas.

You can't keep that pace up.

You can't do two of those a week until 2024.

There's going to,

I mean, there's just not enough laws.

Yeah.

Thankfully.

So I wonder if he's peaking too early or is, you know, maybe not.

Maybe you have to just get out ahead of this stuff and see where things take him.

I think, you know, DeSantis is a smart guy, a young guy, he's energetic.

But I mean, do you think there's anything to that?

Is that something you'd be if you were his advisor?

I'm a little bit concerned about it, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, because you're right, he's at the top of the heap now, but that's hard to maintain.

Triple-8-727-BECK.

You were listening to the Glenn Beck program.

It's Batten Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727BECK.

Is it me or has

Dr.

St.

Anthony Fauci's narcissism gotten even more out of control?

The guy is, first of all, he says he is science.

So, I mean, there's no arguing with him, right?

He's, for some reason, gotten super sensitive lately.

And maybe it's because he knows he lied and people are calling him on it and he doesn't like it.

So he's trying to put it back on everybody else for how dare you, how dare you question me, I am science kind of thing.

Yeah, he's been doing a lot of that lately.

A lot.

He was talking to Kara

Swisher

on Kara's podcast, which, you know, who doesn't listen to that?

It's my favorite Kara-based podcast.

Is it?

Yes.

It's my third favorite Kara-based.

Yeah.

But he proclaimed that all of his critics are all bad faith partisans unfairly attacking him.

Wow.

And then he started talking in third person, which I love.

You know,

there's not a problem when you start referring to yourself in third person.

He said, no, we're not kidding.

Fauci does have blood on his hands.

Not only was his handling of the pandemic deeply politicized, shown even more so by the release of his emails,

but now

Fauci,

let's see, where was it that he was referring to himself in third person?

Yeah, I'll have to find that.

But he is, he, it's basically, how dare you question me on anything regarding the way I've handled this particular pandemic?

Yeah, I just, I don't know why anyone thinks that's an effective tactic.

You know, even if you just say, look, yeah, I screwed some stuff up.

I did some stuff I wish I didn't.

But then you've admitted that you've made mistakes.

Right.

And I guess you can't do that now.

Can't do it.

And to be fair,

if he did admit it, then people would hammer him for the mistake.

I mean, he's not in a position to win at this point.

That's probably true.

Maybe just get off TV for five minutes.

Maybe something like that.

Yeah.

That's an idea.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Our sponsor this half hour

is, of course, our friends at Rough Greens.

Rough Greens has been,

I want to say feeding our dogs, but that's not exactly right.

It's not a dog food.

It is something you sprinkle on top of the dog food.

So it makes, it's a difference between my dogs being excited to eat or, you know, walking up to the bowl and sniffing and then walking away and looking at you and like, why isn't the rough greens on here right now?

That's what I want.

It's very good for them.

It's chocked full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, all the stuff that your dog, you know, needs.

But really, when you put it on top of the food, you'll realize how much they love it because they go for it.

And I guess it's because it's, you know, it's something that their bodies actually really crave.

And you're giving them something that's really healthy.

Unlike human beings, when you need food and it's actually healthy, it's the stuff you avoid.

Apparently, dogs don't do that.

But the good thing is, you can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog to try out.

All you have to do is pay for shipping.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Maybe the most un-American,

unconstitutional situation

thus far.

You

maybe, I think we've touched on this, but it's been several months now,

and

$85 million

still resides with the FBI rather than American citizens.

We'll tell you about a civil asset forfeiture story that just keeps getting worse all the time.

Coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

So yesterday I had the most stereotypical Father's Day humanly possible.

I actually did fall asleep watching golf on television.

So

the most standard thing you could possibly do.

And then in addition to that, we grilled out.

That's what you do on Father's Day.

Did a little grilling out, did a little falling asleep watching golf.

If you want to grill out, though, and do it right, you need to have a rect tech.

You can control the whole thing from inside.

So you can be like, well, I don't know.

I would recommend falling asleep while using RekTech, but you can control it from inside

in the house, in the air conditioning, on your phone, get the exact temperature that you want for your grill.

And then you're out there enjoying the food.

And you get to kind of celebrate the indoor air conditioning and golf time inside while all that stuff is happening.

You can't beat that.

It's really amazing.

All right.

Hundreds of people who store valuables in a safe deposit box may never see their cash again or their precious metals or their heirlooms unless a federal judge finally intervenes this week.

Now, a couple of months ago, we told you about this seizure from the FBI at the U.S.

private vaults, the USPV.

So

some families and some private citizens have gotten together to sue the government government for the contents of about 800 deposit boxes that were taken.

Everything in them was just taken by the FBI in March in a raid of the storage provider.

And the provider was indicted for conspiracy to sell drugs and launder money.

Now, none of these other Americans who had their valuables in these safety deposit boxes has been charged with anything.

And some of them have hundreds of thousands, if not into the millions, in these safety deposit boxes.

Now, if you don't trust a bank, where are you going to put your money?

Probably one of the likely places would be a safety deposit box, thinking, okay, it's going to be safe here.

No,

not from the FBI, not from the federal government.

I mean,

who would have thought that the FBI would pull off the largest bank heist in American history?

That's just unconscionable.

How can this stand?

And it does time after time.

But usually this involves, you know, people traveling.

Like you're on the freeway, you get pulled over by state police.

They, for some reason, decide to search your vehicle and do so

and find $10,000 or $20,000 or $30,000 in cash, and they just take it.

Or you're at the airport and the TSA confiscates it.

Both of those situations have happened many, many times.

This is the first one I've known of where,

you know, you've just got your valuables put in a safe place and the FBI comes and takes it anyway.

Even if you're not

accused of a crime, they're not accused of anything.

They're not even convicted.

Yeah.

Like, that should be the standard to me.

Not even charged.

You could say all you want, and I'm going to put my stuff in a safe place.

However, if you are convicted of a crime and

deemed that these were ill-gotten gains, right?

Like your money's never in a safe place, right?

Like that's the legal system.

If you get convicted of a crime, they may take your stuff, especially if you got them through

some illegal way.

But to do it when you're not even convicted is completely

criminal to me.

When you're not accused,

there's not even an allegation of wrongdoing here.

That's just theft.

It's straight up theft.

And it's grand larceny.

I mean, this is a lot of money they're taking from people.

The

asset list in the seizure notice discloses more than a dozen boxes containing more than a million dollars each in cash and many more in six figures.

Others list jewelry, collectible coins, gold and silver, precious items.

And

so people have millions of dollars worth of things in these safety.

That's what a safety deposit box is for, right?

You put

valuables in it, stuff that you want to be kept safe.

And you never think, well, if the FBI raids the owner of this place, I'm going to lose all my money.

You would never think that.

Why?

Because this is the United States of America, right?

I don't even know that there's precedent for this in the Soviet Union.

I mean, maybe, maybe they did this kind of stuff.

I don't know that people had that kind of wealth to be taken from them

in the Soviet Union.

But

there's no redress here.

They sue and they just tell you, nope, sorry, you can't have it.

So you just hope a federal judge finally intervenes and says, give them back their money now

or face the consequences.

But I don't know what your recourse is.

If the judge doesn't step in, you're just out of everything you had saved up in these things.

It's really something else.

It's incredible.

It's incredible that this stuff happens routinely in the United States of America.

And it's also one of those things,

somewhat like critical race theory, right, that has been going on over the past couple of months.

When people realize what this is,

they generally speaking are on the right side of the issue.

You know, like,

people, people look, oh, I'm being trained in my office, and they're saying I should disavow my whiteness.

You know, even

not only white people, but African-Americans and Hispanics and everybody else looks at this and say, okay, that's just racism repackaged, right?

Like it does, that's critical race theory, which is a catch-all at this point

and probably, you know, catches too much at times.

But the bottom line is, people can inherently recognize that it's wrong without even thinking about it.

You know, the same thing with, like, hey, I went to watch my daughter's track meet this weekend, and she lost by 15 lengths to a boy, right?

Like, you know, people just inherently can say, all right, this is wrong.

And when people are awakened to this type of thing, to use the woke terminology,

they are generally speaking on the right side of it.

Yeah, they're generally left or right.

Right.

They're outraged either way.

I think the same thing exists with this.

When it comes to

this theft,

this is really theft, and it's happened to tons of people.

People who haven't even been accused of crimes, having their livelihoods, their money taken away from them for absolutely no reason at all.

I don't know how you could be okay with it, really.

And maybe you just, you think, ah, they're rich people.

Whatever.

I don't care what happens to them.

But some of these clients are not wealthy.

Two new clients have just been added to the amended complaint.

They're already, you know, they had a lot of the people already on the complaint.

Now they've got other clients like this couple who was storing $2,000, $2,000 in cash and $20,000 in silver.

So a total of $22,000.

It's their nest egg retirement.

$22,000?

That's pretty modest.

And now the FBI has confiscated that and they don't have that retirement nest fund, nest egg They've got a telecommunications executive that just jumped on board.

$100,000 he had $100,000 worth of gold and $63,000 in cash intended as a rainy day fund.

Just taken from him.

Just taken.

And again, remember: no charges against any of these people have been filed.

Now, he's not the guy, because you say telecommunications executive.

He's not the guy that came up with robocalls, did he?

Because if that's him, then he deserves it.

He dissolves it.

Dissolves it.

All should be taken, as far as I know.

Now, that's not constitutional, still, but I still would root it up.

I would root for it in a big way.

Now, I mean, how many?

This is happening so much.

We've talked about this.

There was a guy in Chicago

who was, he worked on cars.

His livelihood was he worked on cars.

He would go help out people

and sometimes he'd come off away from where he worked.

He had this customer who came in

who had the car,

brought it in, dropped the car off, needed to go back to work.

So

as a business owner trying to help his customers, he drove the guy back to work.

In the process of driving them back to work, they got pulled over, and the passenger in the car had drugs in his pocket.

Now, no one accused the driver, who was just a mechanic, of

being responsible for the drugs.

They were never accused of a crime at all, but they took his car.

In the back of his car was all of his equipment.

to help people fix their cars.

So he lost his tools.

He lost his car for years.

And they kept fining him to get his own car

out of being impounded

based on nothing.

He had done nothing wrong.

They didn't even, it wasn't like a bad accusation.

It's hard to communicate how ridiculous this is because it wasn't like they said, oh, he was really responsible for the drugs.

We know it with no evidence.

That would be bad enough.

They weren't even saying he was responsible.

They weren't saying he was responsible.

They weren't saying, oh, you guys are really hiding it.

This is a drug operation.

None of that.

They knew he was was innocent they knew it and they still

find this guy tens of thousands of dollars he's a working man he doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to get his car out from impound

and all of his tools it ruined his business it ruined his life and why unreal

why it's unbelievable because they Law enforcement agencies want the ability to confiscate this so that they can fight the war on drugs.

That's their excuse.

And they like the money that comes along with this.

They love the money that comes along with it.

And look, I'm as pro-police as they come.

But you've got to be able to convict a person of something if you're going to take their stuff.

Not just charge, not just convict them before you confiscate their property.

Yeah.

And

they've now gone to the place where they're evading these bans.

So people learn about this civil asset forfeiture, and they're like, this is wrong.

And this is America.

This should not happen.

So many states have now gone to the point where they've passed laws saying you can't do this without a conviction or at least an accusation of wrongdoing.

Seems to make a lot of sense.

But there's a hole in these laws where if they go to

like basically, there's a hole that says if you work with the federal government, so let's say the federal government is in the middle, an agency is going through, they're in the middle of an investigation, and they need assistance from the state.

If it goes through the federal government and they do this civil asset forfeiture thing, the state gets to keep, you know,

80% of the money.

Yeah.

Right.

Yep.

So what these states are doing that have bans on civil asset forfeiture is they're taking the investigation all the way up to the point where they're going to seize the stuff.

And then they're like, oh, we need help from the feds.

So the feds come in, they take over the investigation, actually seize it and seize the property.

and then the state gets 80% of the money anyway.

This is how they're getting around these bans.

This is something that is blatantly wrong.

And it's not just in liberal states either.

No, this is happening in Texas, in Utah.

Texas is actually

bad.

Really bad.

Yeah.

And what was the figure we had,

I think last week, it was $20 billion, I believe, that's been confiscated in the last 10 years.

20 billion.

So it's like $2 billion a year.

$2 billion?

And

most of these people, if not all of them, are not even charged with a crime?

It's unbelievable.

And look, they do get drug dealers.

They do.

And they could point, you know, to

police can come to you and say, look, this is a really valuable thing because if we wait until they're convicted.

You know, then they're going to find a way to hide all this money and we're not going to get any of it, which is understandable.

And there's legitimate argument to be made there.

However, this is the type of place

that is innocent until proven guilty.

That's the basis of our system.

So you err on the side of letting guilty people get away with certain things if it's going to protect innocent people.

Exactly.

That's how far we go that far normally.

And we've given up on that with civil asset forfeiture.

That's not.

That's not re it's not good.

And I will say the only reason I think people care about this so is so little is because the name is so boring.

Civil asset forfeiture is the least sexy thing in the world.

It should be called

federal theft of private citizens' property.

Like, you need something catchy.

Maybe that would get somebody's attention.

You need something catchy.

The Biden administration wants you to support or want you to report radicalized friends and family members, which is, yeah, that's great.

It reminds me of that see something,

say something

time period of the right after the Patriot Act was

enacted, and you were supposed to be watching your neighbors for suspicious activity and then reporting them.

Well, Biden's administration has announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government in an effort to fight domestic terrorism because We all know that there's a whole bunch of white supremacists lurking in neighborhoods all over America.

How many do you have in your neighborhood?

Probably.

I believe 11.

11?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's probably a small number.

I'll bet that's on the conservative side.

Yeah, that's true.

In a conversation with reporters, one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping politically fueled violence before it starts.

So we're going to do future crimes here.

We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before the violence occurs.

The official cited the Department of Homeland Security's if you, that see something, say something campaign, which was so great and so successful, narc on your neighbors.

It really works well.

Ask Germans.

They love it.

They love it.

This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence.

Biden began his presidency with a stark warning in his inauguration speech about the rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.

I can't tell you the number of white supremacists that I run into on a daily basis.

It's just...

Well, all of them.

All of the white people.

All of the white people.

Do you see how any white people today?

White supremacists.

Yes.

That's how this works.

Thank you.

And are they all radicals?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Most, yeah.

Most of them are on the right.

So you know they're radicals.

Yeah.

That's that's how it's a great way to do this because there there was this idea that you had to prove that someone was a racist, was a white supremacist with evidence.

And now we've got we've passed that.

We no longer need to do that.

We just need to see that they're white and we know.

And you know.

You know that they're that they're racists because of their skin color.

We can generalize, and this is a theory that people might not understand this.

This is a highly advanced theory.

But what we could do is we could generalize

based on skin color, and that's good.

Whenever you can take a skin color and take certain characteristics, you assign to that skin color generally.

Like you would stereotype an entire

group of people based on their race.

And you'd assume things about them, usually negative.

Almost always negative.

Yeah, you assume negative things about them because their skin color is a certain hue.

Right.

And then in this case, like a beige or beige, peachish, Casper-like

tone to it.

And then you know these bad things apply to them, not because they've actually done them, but because their skin color looks a certain way.

And that is a great advancement in our society.

What a wonderful achievement that we've been able to come to this point where we can tell so much about a person based based just on the color of their skin.

And if you can lock up all those white people, you know, with the beigeish, Casper-like hue to their skin.

Yeah.

If you can lock them up before they do the radical thing, then you just, I mean, you save civilization a lot of trouble.

The same thing with Asians, by the way.

Because Asians, they seem to achieve too much.

And the only way they can do that is Asian supremacy.

And look, some of them look maybe white.

I will tell you this.

Therefore, what I learned a while ago was that

Asian intelligence comes through white supremacy.

It does.

Yeah.

I've heard that, and it does seem like it does.

It does.

So, so it solves part of the same problem.

We're doing a great job here with this country.

Oh, my God.

We're doing a great job.

Aren't we, though?

We've solved so many issues just by making lots of decisions based on skin color.

Who thought it could have been that easy?

But there it is.

We're back there again.

Good job, America.

A couple of Republicans, in fact, several Republicans, are calling for President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive assessment.

What?

Why the hate?

Why?

Where is that coming from?

He does not need a cognitive

know exactly what the abilities are, and they're low.

He does not need to be assessed.

We've seen him operate in public.

In a letter dated June 17th, Jackson and his colleagues noted Biden agreed to such an assessment and detailed several examples of where Biden's mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past 18 months.

Oh, I'll not hear about it.

I will not hear of it.

In March, I love this.

He forgot the names of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and the Defense Secretary.

Do you remember that moment?

I think I might have that moment here somewhere.

That's not that many people, though.

Do you really need to know the names of all the people you work with?

No.

Not all of them.

Right.

Or some of them.

Do you need to know any of the names of the people you work with?

I think the answer to that is no.

Here's one of those circumstances.

And I want to thank

the former general.

I keep calling him general, but

the guy who runs that outfit over there.

That's good.

That's good, right?

That's good.

That's sharp.

That tells you, okay, a guy knows what he's talking about.

He knows that there's a person who runs that outfit over there.

He can't remember the name of the outfit, which is the Pentagon.

He can't remember the Department of Defense, and he can't remember this defense secretary's name.

And he knows certain things about this person.

Like he was a general at one point, for example.

And he's saying the things he knows about the person in hopes it will cue his brain to come up with his name or where he works.

And it's not working.

Or what he does.

And it is not working.

So there was that.

There was misidentifying the time of day and Democrat members of Congress.

In February, that happened.

In May, confused the dates of riding an Amtrak train and the death of his mother.

He botched the first line of the Declaration of Independence in March of 2020.

He's done that several times, actually.

He's messed up the Declaration of Independence.

I don't know how many times.

One of them was,

you know, the thing.

You know the thing, yeah.

Truth, justice, and fair, you know the thing.

And then another time it was, et cetera.

So he just got to the place where

all men are,

et cetera.

And that was it.

Yeah.

And I've seen reporters now come out publicly and say, we've never seen

an administration like this where the aides will shut down the president of the United States attempting to answer questions over and over and over and over again.

They'll go to him, they'll ask him a question, and they'll just say, stop.

His own aides will say, stop.

Yes.

Like he's a kid running into the street.

Well, you were on vacation last week.

Did you see the time in Europe where he's under this big tent?

There's a bunch of reporters shouting at him under the tent, and he's kind of shuffled the log a little bit, and he starts to stop and dress up.

Some of the things are,

am I wearing pants?

Right.

Where's my pudding?

And Jill comes running up, grabs him by the arm, and pulls him away from everybody.

This is one of those things where we're just going to find out in five years or 10 years that he was completely lost.

Right.

And that he was medicated at times and that got him through some of these difficult situations.

But for the most part, he was just incapable of carrying out his responsibilities.

I definitely think there's going to come a time where we find this out.

Has to.

And again, the alternative is worse.

Kamala Harris,

who is not having these problems, thankfully, as an individual, I don't want her running the show.

So

Joe Biden, even though I know

he's a little on the slow side these days, is a much better option for the United States of America than letting Kamala run the show.

That being said,

it's terrifying that our president is in this state.

And look, he's not,

and when I say completely gone, he's not completely gone in every moment.

As you point out, sometimes maybe he's medicated, maybe he's fine some of the time, but clearly he has, he has wires that do not touch each other anymore in the brain.

They're supposed to communicate with each other, and they're like three inches away from each other now, and the electricity does not bridge that gap.

It just doesn't happen.

So, sure,

is it embarrassing?

Is it sometimes even humorous when he comes out and he can't understand what he's saying?

You might say that.

But when he's in a meeting with Vladimir Putin,

God only knows what comes out of that.

What does he blurt out that he's not supposed to?

What can't he remember when he needs to remember?

Well, you had that weird situation, and he admitted to it, where I told him, I told Putin that there's 16 things we don't want you to attack.

And then everything else is fair game.

Everything else we get.

What the heck?

Plus, we gave you a list of the places we're vulnerable.

Please don't attack us there.

You shouldn't attack us there, okay?

We'd appreciate it.

Look, you wouldn't do that.

Don't, don't, please.

We have one password for all of our computers, but don't go after the nuclear.

Don't use that computer.

Don't do that one.

Now, it is one, two, three, four, five on all of them.

But don't use.

You can use that on our financial system.

You can use it on our electricity grid, but please, not our nuclear codes.

Okay, okay.

Well, that should work out well.

Now, he said it was emergency.

Which I don't know what that means, really.

We can't, okay, so we're not supposed to hack your emergency.

Emergency, don't you?

They're not supposed to hack transportation.

They're not supposed to hack,

I don't remember them all, but there were 16, and he laid it all out for them.

So Putin knows exactly where we're vulnerable right now and exactly where to attack.

Plus, we didn't say anything about any of the other infrastructure, so you can attack that at will.

Yeah, go ahead.

Go after all of our private companies and their information.

What does that matter?

Yeah.

Some dumb private company company and be some stupid bunch of our citizens, millions of our citizens lose their identities?

Who cares?

Don't come after our pipeline.

It seems to be what they were basically saying.

Like, okay, like leave our infrastructure.

You just take what you need to take from everyone else.

You know, I mean, that's not, that's not, that's not the way you would be a president supposed to do.

No.

Look, I understand that.

that some of the stuff can just get partisan and and people just say say bad things about the guy they they don't like.

Look, I think Joe Biden is, if he were completely coherent, would still be a terrible president.

I'm not hiding the fact that I think he sucks, but go beyond this for a second.

Like we did, you know,

one of the first things we did

merchandise-wise was on stewdoesmerch.com, by the way.

You can go pick up your merch there.

We did a shirt based off of, remember the Seinfeld episode where,

you know, George's dad is saying

he's saying Serenity Now over and over again in the back of his car.

It's a very famous episode.

He's Serenity Now.

Every time he gets in trouble, he has a bad thought.

He just says, Serenity Now.

That's what we did with Joe Biden.

Senility Now.

He's just in the back of a car.

Senility Now.

Please bring the senility to me so I can govern.

That is not the place you want your country to be.

You don't want the leader to have to beg and scream in hopes that senility comes to visit visit him.

That is not, it's not a promising thing for our future.

And I do worry about it quite a bit.

I mean,

the negative consequences coming out of that are

an unknown known, a known unknown, I believe, as Donald Rumsfeld used to say.

We know it's possible.

We just don't know how it's going to manifest itself.

We know it's going to happen.

We know the risk is there.

We don't know what thing he's going to blurt out, what mistake he's going to make, what moment he needs his engine to run and it doesn't.

Yeah.

And that's terrifying.

Can you imagine?

You got this brutal

killer across from you,

sitting three feet from you, and he's, you know, still got all his faculties.

And then you've got Joe Biden sitting there.

who is completely diminished in his abilities.

I mean, I wouldn't have had that great a confidence in him 30 years ago because he's not the kind of guy, I think, that you want dealing with

heads of state who are enemies.

I don't think he's strong enough.

I don't think he has the right ideology, but certainly now that his faculties are so diminished, it is frightening what's going on between the two of them.

And you're going to leave him in there with that guy?

By yourselves?

By themselves?

I don't have any confidence that he can can pull that off.

None.

And, you know, this is why we've begged and pleaded during the election, during the campaign, that this guy is not capable of handling this job.

And I think that's gotten even more clear to

everyone.

But here we are, and he's in the middle of negotiating details and treaties and

trying to tell world leaders that we're not going to put up with your nonsense when he's just incapable of doing it.

When you can't even remember the name of your defense secretary.

And I want to thank the

former general.

I keep calling him general, but

the guy who runs that outfit over there.

I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about.

But I can't remember his name, but I want to thank whoever he is.

It's not exactly heartfelt.

And I think he used to be a general.

I keep calling him a general, but he's not one.

Sir, his name is Captain Crunch.

You're talking to a cereal box.

Is he the one who keeps making the mistake with all the berries?

Yes.

Oops, all berries.

Oops, all berries.

I don't believe that you keep messing up like that.

At some point, it happened on purpose.

Right.

I think that's what.

I think that after 30 years

of oops, all berries, I think the captain is doing it on purpose.

That's right, honey.

He's like a berry terrorist or something

over there in Crunchville.

All right.

Triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

It's Batten Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, triple 888-727-B-E-C-K.

NFL football player, Cole Beasley, who's a

less welker-like

slot receiver sort of guy.

Meaning he's white.

Meaning he's, yes, he's white.

He's slow.

He's white.

He's on a football field, and no one can explain it.

But

he's really pretty darn good.

He is.

He went to SMU, I believe, here in Texas.

And he's a

good player.

He was playing the Cowboys for a while.

He signed a big contract with the Bills.

So he's with the Bills now.

And the Bills are saying that if you don't get vaccinated, that could affect your position here.

And so he is saying he's not getting vaccinated and he'll retire before he gets vaccinated.

Feels pretty strongly about it, I guess.

And I'm not sure if it's that he's nervous about the vaccine or he's got some sort of principle against the vaccine.

He didn't really explain.

But he did say, I don't play for the money anymore.

That'd be nice.

Wouldn't that be nice?

That would be nice.

That'd be great i don't work for the money anymore i don't need it i don't need it i just do it for fun that'd be great my family has been taken care of uh find me if you want my way of living and my values are more important to me than a dollar i'll be outside doing what i do i'll be out in public if you're scared of me then steer clear or get vaccinated i may die of covid but i'd rather die actually living

So he's saying, you know, if you're so worried about it, but you're vaccinated, why would you worry about it?

And I think that's a pretty good point.

Isn't the vaccine supposed to protect you from people who have COVID?

That is the point of it.

It seems like it.

And look, it does.

In my view, it does.

So I don't understand the messaging of this from the beginning.

I don't know why they've focused on people.

Everyone's always talking about how are we going to get these people vaccinated?

Look,

the pandemic ends the day everyone can get the vaccine and they can choose whether to get it or not.

And, you know, we talked about the Dave Portnoy, I think maybe we'll play that coming up.

But it's like, you know,

it's not over in the fact that there's still, I mean, I think 90 people died yesterday.

90.

Now we were at a point where...

Countrywide?

Yeah.

We were hitting 4,000 a day.

Yeah.

Wow.

We're down to 90.

The lowest number since March 2020.

Now, that's not over, right?

People are still dying.

It sucks.

But overwhelmingly, these people are the people who didn't get the vaccine.

And at some point, you have to say to people, like, if you don't want to get the vaccine, okay,

don't.

And by the way, the people who don't like the vaccine get to say to people who do like it, because they get the vaccine if you want, but I mean, I think it's going to do these terrible things to you, right?

Like, at some point, you get to make your own decision as to what your risk tolerance is.

And I think we're the way you want to live.

I think we're at that point.

And I think that point is absolutely when the vaccine is available to anyone who wants to get it for free, by the way, which it is right now.

Yep.

We're at that point.

We are.

And yes, there are risks, you know, at some point, there could be, you know, variants.

There are all sorts of things.

You can come up with a million different scenarios.

But the bottom line is, unless you want a society that does not operate unless there are zero deaths from anything, you're going to have to get to, you're going to have to set some sort of standard here.

And the standard is like, we have something that's pretty darn effective in this.

Ever since we started using it,

the deaths have fallen by over 90%.

And we just need to sit here and say, look, if Cole Beasley doesn't want to get it, she doesn't want to get it.

That's all.

Let people make their own freaking decisions.

If the Buffalo Bills are all vaccinated around him, what does it matter?

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

There's little to no risk.

And even if you do get it, you're probably not going to the hospital or anything like that.

But we just can't, we can't live in a sane society, apparently.

Apparently not.

This is the Glenn Back Program.

It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glen Beck program, 888727BECK.

Got some things on the COVID front.

We've got this

barstool sports Dave Portnoy celebrating the end of COVID-19.

And then they took him off of Twitter for it.

It's just so ridiculous.

The things that are going on right now, just unbelievable.

We'll get to that and much more in 60 seconds.

A Glenbeck program.

So in the looking at the rest of 2021, some market experts think it's pretty unlikely that mortgage rates are going to stay down in the 2% range.

Do you think?

I don't know.

I kind of think that that's going to be everlasting.

It doesn't seem possible that rates are this low.

And with the amount of money we're spending right now,

just devaluing our currency, you know this stuff is around the corner.

You know these rates are going to go up eventually.

So if you're looking to refinance the mortgage on your home, maybe refinance the mortgage you already have, maybe consolidate a loan with other debt from credit cards and all this other stuff, this might be a great time to do it.

Why not look into that?

Like let's say right now.

You want to be saving as much money as possible every month.

I know I do.

Hey, it's Patton and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, triple eight seven two seven B E C K, the president of the EU.

Not a scary organization at all.

I've always loved the European Union.

Haven't you?

Just the precursor to one world government.

It's just, it's awesome.

And to hear the president of the EU explaining how you in Europe can get your life back to normal in that German accent she has, that just sounds so soothing to me.

Here's what she says is important to get your life back here.

Here she comes.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How are you?

Good to see you.

Before Easter, we promise to the Europeans that we will do everything possible so that they can gain back some normality when planning for their well deserved summer holidays.

So on Monday the European Parliament and the European Council signed the regulation for the EU digital COVID certificate.

It is applicable from the first of July on, but if you want to as a Member State, you can sign up early voluntarily.

And that's what Belgium did.

Belgium announced its time today

to travel with a certificate.

And here

is mine.

So everyone who is fully vaccinated

or tested negatively or has recovered from COVID can get one.

And we have right now 15 Member States that have already signed up.

and from the first of July, all twenty-seven Member States have to apply these EU digital certificates for COVID.

I am planning now to start my tour through twenty-seven Member States for the next generation EU, our recovery and resilience plan, and I'm very curious to test and to see how this certificate will work.

Thank you.

That's wonderful.

All right.

That's great.

She held hers up.

Can I just take a picture of that?

Yes.

Is that okay?

Yes.

That's fine.

That's fine.

So

essentially what she's saying is,

you must have your papers.

They'll be digital, but you must have some.

We have a maze of making you have your papers.

Please.

It's great.

I love it.

At least she said please.

That's nice.

I don't think she did actually say please.

I think I gave her too much credit there.

Ursula Gertrude von der Leyen.

I'll say, too, like, you know, there's been this thing where

in

entertainment, they haven't wanted to use, like, let's say, Muslims as villains because, you know, as you know, Pat, Americans would immediately just start killing Muslims in the streets if they saw, you know, a villain on 24 was actually Muslim and not backed by some German.

It's always a German born to speak.

Serbian or Serbian.

You can be Serbian.

Yes.

To be a victim on TV.

To be the villain on TV, you have to be Serbian or German.

Well, I don't know.

Now, look, the Germans did a lot

to earn

some of the criticism.

But it's been so long since I've seen a villain without a Russian or German accent.

Whenever I hear it, I just assume they're a villain.

You've done the reverse.

You've told me, you've tried so hard to make me not want to be manipulated into thinking that Muslims could possibly be terrorists that now you've made me believe all Serbians are terrorists and all Germans.

And all

of them.

Yep.

It's sad.

And will forever be.

It's always going to be that way.

You could be saying the nicest things in the world with that accent, and it's going to sound creepy in some way.

Now, I think the heavy lifting in this front was done by a man named Adolf long ago, but there is something just about that accent.

It einter fahrfig nügen.

You've just done a Volkswagen commercial, but it sounds like you're threatening genocide, doesn't it?

By the way, don't look back at the history of Volkswagen.

So

definitely don't look back at that.

You're not going to want to know that.

But enjoy your meet, meep car.

It is, it's a, it's, it is a, uh, I, I mean, look, a country certainly with their own sovereignty has the right to require whatever they want.

I mean, frankly,

if there are countries that do all sorts of really terrible things

with

not letting people in for tourism, they can do really whatever they want on that front as a sovereign nation, as we would protect our right to do whatever we want.

Though you think we have something in common with the Western world, right?

Like we're supposed to have some sort of shared principle structure.

and you know i it does make you nervous when when germans go down this road it hasn't turned out well in the past right and when europe as a whole is going down that road it's a little it's a little unnerving i'd say and it makes you wonder if this administration will do the same thing because this administration is definitely influenced by European movements.

I mean, the Democrats are all about the European socialism.

They love it.

Yeah, it's weird.

Like the the vaccine passport thing, there are things, there are real reasons to fear elements of that.

International visitors, I mean, we banned all visitors

under the Trump administration from many countries, right?

Right.

Because it's our freaking sovereign right to do so.

And we have that right.

And if we want to say we don't want anyone, like, for example, Brazil has been in a nonstop catastrophe from COVID for a very long time.

And we've said, maybe we don't want any Brazilian tourism at the moment.

I think that's totally just prudent.

Yeah.

Right.

So in some ways, I guess you could, they've blocked almost all travel to Europe for a long time from outside of it.

And this is their way of supposedly opening things up.

They have the right to do that.

I mean, I just don't know if it makes a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things.

And it's also going to be completely unmanageable.

You know, I went on a flight, you know, when there was more of a

active COVID situation.

This is, I guess, late last year, mid to late last year.

And there was, I went to a state that had a quarantine for outside visitors.

And it was one of the first flights I took.

And I was supposed to, when I flew in, you know, I guess lock myself in a house for God knows how long.

Two weeks, 42 weeks or whatever.

I wasn't even going for two weeks.

I was only going for a few days.

It's like, well, basically, you're saying I have to go directly from the airport to a house and stay inside the house for the entire day.

Are you saying that you didn't do that?

No, of course not.

That's not what I'm saying.

But I was traveling with a companion who decided not to do that.

Really?

Yeah.

I figured it to be very shocking that they would.

Now, you didn't follow suit, didn't you?

No, no, no.

I did everything.

Exactly by the book.

So I want to make sure that part is on the air

on record.

Because what state was this?

I can't remember the state, Pat.

You can't remember the state?

Gosh, it was a state.

It was one of the states.

That That I know.

It was in the United States.

One of the states.

Was it one of the contiguous states?

It was one of the contiguous states.

I believe it was on the eastern half of the United States.

That's all I remember.

Like a New York or Connecticut kind of state.

Yeah, we should really leave my experience.

Who cares about what I did?

Let me tell you about my companion.

All right.

What your companion did.

So my companion was wondering what...

Like,

this situation doesn't make any sense.

What do you mean?

How are you going to tell me?

How are you going to enforce the idea?

This is what my companion was saying.

How are you going to enforce a quarantine from someone who's visiting as a U.S.

citizen inside the United States?

Like, are you going to

carding everyone everywhere they go?

Obviously not, right?

There's a lot of...

So you were just...

Supposed to voluntarily do this.

Yeah, so you

get off the plane and there's a person there with a clipboard and says, yes,

where are you staying?

And it's interesting, as my companion realized, if you just walk by that person,

they don't know if you're from that state in the contiguous states or not.

They just walk, you kind of walked right by that person.

So you just followed your companion's lead on that?

No,

I reported.

But my companion did not.

Wow.

And I, you know, my companion.

My companion's a rebel.

My companion's very rebellious.

And my companion looked, though, at the law before this trip

and realized that I think the fine was $500 if you were to get caught.

Now,

what, again, what,

I don't do these things, but this companion said, what exactly, let's think about the risk profile here.

You could either not have the trip that you're taking because you're stuck inside a house and can't do anything the entire time, or you could risk a $500 fine.

Now, a $500 fine is not nothing.

It's $500.

But what has to happen for you to get fined $500?

You have to, I guess, have a separate interaction with the police.

Like maybe if you were to get pulled over, maybe if you started a bar fight, like they're going to card you, realize you should have been quarantined, and then add on a $500 fine, I guess, would be how this would happen.

I can't even, I don't even know how it would happen.

Right, maybe that would be bad for me because I start so many bar fights.

You're a huge bar fight guy.

That's why you go on vacation is to start bar fights.

Nothing better than a good old-fashioned bar fight.

That's that's Pat Gray, yeah.

You know, it's me.

So,

and I, so my no, my companion thought to themselves, like, what if I just continue to keep walking here and don't alert them of my

status in the state?

And everything worked out fine for my companion.

I felt stupid because I was inside the whole time and they went out and did whatever they wanted.

And everything worked out fine.

But I pulled up in quarantine.

Was it hot?

Yeah.

If I even took the flight.

You know, it could have been a dream.

I think only my companion went now that I think about it.

I may not have gone on this trip at all.

That's really weird.

Yeah.

No, it's, it's a crazy, it was a crazy time.

You were feverish during this particular time, maybe.

Maybe you had COVID while you were traveling.

You know what?

No, I didn't.

No.

That I do know because I got it later.

But it is one of those things where these things are...

Like the mask mandate in Texas was an example of this.

I stand by my belief to this day that literally zero people in the state of Texas were actually fined under the mask mandate.

I think the number is zero.

And I think that was by design.

By design.

I think that it was like, hey, mask mandate.

And it's like, how are we going to reinforce this?

We're not.

We're not going to.

We're not.

We want people to know that we think they should wear them, but we're not actually going to do anything.

Now, private businesses can do what they want to do.

Some towns, I believe, probably did fine them under their town or county statute.

That may have happened.

But as far as a statewide mandate,

it was a mino, a mandate in name only.

Yeah.

And like, that doesn't mean that I liked it, but you see these things.

People do it all the time.

I still see signs on buildings here, like masks strongly recommended.

And then you go in there and literally nobody, including the employees, are wearing them.

It's like they just want to say they're doing something at this point.

You know, is the pandemic over?

Well, people are still dying.

You should be careful, especially if you haven't been vaccinated.

You should be careful.

But on the other side of that is,

as a society right now,

we are at a point in which people can take these treatments.

Maybe you believe believe it's hydroxychloroquine, right?

Then you take on the risk of taking hydroxychloroquine, which is, I mean, risk-wise, I think very minimal, how much it will do.

It does seem to help in certain circumstances.

Maybe that's what you think it is.

The bottom line is all of these treatments are available for everyone now.

So we are at the, that's what my definition of over is,

right?

Yeah.

There's a way for people to avoid this if they want to avoid it.

They don't have to avoid it, but if they want to avoid it, they can avoid it in most circumstances.

And you're not going to have zero deaths, it's going to take a long time to get to zero.

Yeah, but I mean, from 4,000 a day to 90, 90.

And I think the average is something like 300 now.

Now, the flu is like 100 a day.

So, if we're down to, I mean, we did 90 yesterday.

Now, 100 a day spread over an entire year, right?

So, you're saying maybe 30 or 40,000, 365, you know, 365 days.

So, say 36,500 deaths for the flu is

a medium number.

Probably an average number for the flu, yeah.

So except it's been eradicated since COVID.

Yeah, I mean, it's been almost none the last year.

Yeah.

But, okay, all right.

So that is something that we have all sort of

designated that we can go on with life in that scenario.

It sucks.

I keep thinking to myself, like, maybe we should, instead of saying

the flu is nothing, maybe we should start considering a big issue.

I think 36,000 people dying of this sucks.

Let's try to get that to to zero, too.

Yeah, that's a lot.

But I mean, look,

we don't have a treatment.

We don't have a 95% flu vaccine.

We do have several

when it comes to

the products of Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed.

And not that anyone in the media will ever give him credit for it, but we do have that.

We've had success with it.

And at some point, people get to make their own decisions.

They're big boys and girls.

And that's, I think, a fair definition of over.

Whether you can choose to get the virus or not is a good definition of over.

888 727 B E C K.

According to a recent study, 330 million people across 10 countries became victims of cybercrime just in the past year.

And another 55 million actually had their identity stolen.

55 million.

That's insane.

This costs, of course, people money.

It also costs up

a lot of their time.

Cybercrime victims collectively spent almost 2.7 billion hours trying to resolve their issues.

I don't want to deal with that.

It makes me glad that something like Life Lock is available.

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.

LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity thefts and they'll send you alert.

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

No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but you can keep what's yours with Life Lock by Norton.

You know what hasn't worked real well is the Chinese vaccine.

That does not seem to be going well.

It's not going well in Chile where they're using it.

It's not going well in Indonesia.

In fact,

350 doctors and medical workers in Indonesia have caught COVID-19.

Dozens have been hospitalized since getting vaccinated.

Do you believe that the freaking Chinese, after the way they handled the outbreak of this thing, and maybe it came from a lab, very possible, came from one of their labs as a screw-up or worse, and now they're providing the world with crappy vaccines to solve it?

It's incredible.

I mean, it is.

I hate when people say, and I do it sometimes, like, oh, you know, the vaccines have been successful.

Well,

let's be careful here.

What's come out of the United States has been successful.

Yes.

What's come out of Great Britain, mostly successful, but like maybe not quite as much.

It's not successful than the U.S., but still pretty good.

Yeah.

The

seems pretty gay.

Yeah.

The Chinese one, even the Russian one has seemingly been pretty solid.

The Chinese, the two from Chinese, Sinovac, Sino Farm, have been

have not worked very well.

I mean, in some cases, like only 50% or less.

Yeah.

Which, again, is not, maybe it's helping on the margins.

It seems like it does not.

I will say it does not seem like the immunity lasts very long.

No, no, it doesn't.

It seems like

they have had real problems with that.

And a lot of these countries that embrace the Chinese technology are learning how that works.

Not so well.

Not so well.

So it's important.

That's why I think it's important to point out when you talk about, you might talk about the vaccine, talk about it as the product of Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed.

because they will not give him an ounce of credit for this.

In fact, they just blame him for everything.

When he deserves virtually all the credit.

For politicians, he deserves all of it, in my view.

Yes.

Along with the other, you know, the researchers and the...

Yeah, obviously.

Like the big pharmaceutical companies that produce these things deserve a lot of credit for it, too.

But he took all the red tape out.

He provided

funds to spur this thing, to get it going, the seed money to get everything started.

He's the one that cleared the path for them.

Yeah, you can overdo it by giving politicians credit for such things.

And there's a lot of factors.

But when it comes to what he could have done in that scenario, he did very well.

And now it's just like, it's just like Biden gets all of the credit for it.

I mean, you look, Donald Trump, people talk about this all the time.

Like Donald Trump's anti-vaccine.

How can that be possible?

The man is not anti-vaccine.

Operation Warp Speed.

And by the way, after having COVID, he still took the vaccine

as he was leaving the White House.

He still took it.

Right.

Why did he take it?

Right.

I don't understand he still took it we do forget that that he actually got the vaccine in addition to pushing it forward wow this is the glen back program

it's patent stew uh for glenn today on the glen back program glenn's back tomorrow morning

triple 8727 b e c k Stu and I have just been ruminating on the fact that there's some strange things going on here with the vaccine.

Because

I think we all cheered when President Trump

cleared the way for this to happen, right?

Everybody wanted it.

It's a big part of his re-election campaign.

Huge.

And his claim that

we're going to have a vaccine by the end of the year, and the Democrats were apoplectic.

Oh, you can't have a vaccine by the end of the year.

That's ridiculous.

You're insane.

And he did it.

They produced it.

Three American companies came up with it.

You got the Pfizer, you had the Moderna,

and you got Johnson and Johnson all coming up with a vaccine within a year.

Incredible.

How did that become a bad thing then?

I don't know.

It's weird.

The way the politics have played out on it are very strange as well.

And that, like,

I'm, I'm generalizing overwhelmingly in that, like,

the vast majority of every party is fine with a vaccine.

But I'm just, when there is, there is opposition everywhere.

And vaccine opposition has never been a very partisan issue.

I mean, the most famous people in the United States that oppose the vaccine are Jenny McCarthy.

And Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey, when they were married in particular.

And in addition to that, RFK Jr.

Oh, yeah.

Big time leftists.

Big time leftists.

I mean, hardcore leftists that have been running, you know, anti-vaccine stuff for a very long time.

And like, again, if that's you, that's whatever.

You do.

Like, this is America.

You get to choose what you want to do with yourself, right?

Like you should be able to choose.

So I'm not.

My body, my choice.

There you go.

Should certainly apply to vaccines.

It certainly should.

However,

just think of the politics now for a moment here.

We have basically a lot of people who are saying the vaccine, you got to get vaccinated, got to get vaccinated.

A lot of them are Democrats, and none of them will give Donald Trump any credit for

one ounce of credit for this coming across.

On the other hand, you have a lot of people people who really love Donald Trump who say the vaccine is bad, but won't give Donald Trump any blame,

which is very, it's very weird.

Like, it seems to me that if you think the vaccine is bad, you should think probably Donald Trump was a bad president.

Right?

Like, to the point of saying, like, here's a guy who pushed through this thing I think is really bad.

Certainly, if Joe Biden came up with a vaccine and you thought it was bad, you'd give Joe Biden blame.

I would, right?

I also, I think the vaccine has been good, and I give Donald Trump credit for that.

And they keep saying, like, well, he had no, he had no ability, he had no plan to roll this out to people.

He had no plan.

Talking about, he had over a million people a day being vaccinated when he left office, go back and watch the 60 Minutes with the guy, the general,

because they ran, he was a guy who was, you know, military experts on logistics.

They put a guy from the military in charge of logistics during the Trump administration.

They interviewed him on 60 minutes.

He went through the entire plan.

It was incredibly detailed, just what they talked about in 60 minutes.

All the incredible challenges of getting all this vaccine out as fast as possible to people, making sure that everyone can get it who wants to get it.

All that stuff happened.

Even Fauci said, yeah, no, we had a plan.

Of course, we had a plan.

They were just lying about this,

the incoming administration.

And

now Biden gets all the credit from the left and the media for their amazing job to get this done.

Two-thirds of adults are vaccinated already.

And we're

Donald Trump is just sitting down here in Florida being like, wait a minute, like you guys all said this couldn't happen.

You had people like Kamala Harris who were coming out saying, if Donald Trump is involved, I'm not taking that vaccine.

That sounds terrible.

Like they were doing all the things they're blaming the right for now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, Trump, who deserves an incredible amount of credit for this, ending a pandemic, not just for the United States, but all around the world.

Yeah, it might be

the best part of his legacy.

It might be the biggest thing he did in office because nobody else has pulled that off.

No other politician in the history of the world has been able to oversee

from zero to vaccine in under a year.

The next closest vaccine to be developed and available and distributed was four four years.

Yeah, the months.

Mumps.

Yeah, the months was something like four years.

10, and I think that's the next fastest.

I don't even know that I would even say it was fully distributed in four years.

I think they came up with it in four years.

It's incredible.

Think about this, Pat.

It's a miracle.

You go back to, we're in Pride Month.

I don't know if you've noticed that at any one of the building you've ever walked into, but we're in Pride Month right now.

And I did a show on this right before vacation.

In that there's still this belief that Ronald Reagan never said AIDS until 1987, never even said the word AIDS.

It's a lie.

It's not true.

Absolutely lie.

He increased funding by incredible amounts for research on AIDS throughout his administration.

And, you know, he doubled or tripled it every year.

Yeah.

Every year in office.

It was incredible.

I mean, like, they poured money into this.

And you should also point out that none of the journalists asked him any questions about AIDS throughout the entire 1984 campaign.

Not one question in any debate about AIDS.

Because people forget, nobody talked about it until later.

They didn't understand it.

They didn't know what it was.

But the most fascinating part about this is it took them four

years

to find out and figure out what the virus was that was causing it.

Think about that in the COVID era for a second.

It took them not four years to come up with a vaccine.

It took them four years to figure out what the virus was.

They were just seeing people die and they're like, it's, I guess, immune.

I don't know.

Like, it's something with their immune system.

And who was head of the National Institute of Health at that time?

I'm trying to think.

I can't think of that.

And that guy's name.

Dr.

Faust Fauston.

Faustonian.

I can't remember.

It's not important to the story, obviously.

But it was hard, right?

Coming up and figuring these things out is really difficult.

To find out what the virus is, then come up with a solution for it.

go through multiple rounds of testing and get it fully distributed to the United States.

And by the way, we're at, I think almost 90% now of people above 65 years of age have had the vaccine.

And that's really the main population we're talking about, right?

You know, there's people with associated comorbidities and stuff that are also important.

But like what you're talking about, it's been mostly the elderly people who have died

from this disease.

And 90% almost, I think it's 88% have been vaccinated above that age group.

That's a

freaking miracle.

It is.

It's a miracle that that's happened in a year.

There is nothing about the history of science that would say this could happen this quickly.

And Donald Trump gets zilch when he comes to credit for it.

Zilch.

They act as if he never cared about anyone dying from this virus from day one.

Because they pull out some thing he said in February of 2020 where he didn't think it was a big deal.

No one thought it was going to be a big deal in February of 2020.

Including Anthony Fauci.

And including Fauci, who you can quote from the same era telling people in the United States, not only publicly, but also in his private emails, that it's not really a big risk right now

for America.

Could turn into one, but right now it's not a big risk.

So again, and this is, I guess, typical with the press.

It's just interesting to see how

the supporters and the people who are in opposition of Trump.

Like, I mean, Trump, you listen to Trump talk about the vaccine and he wants credit for it.

You know, I mean,

Donald Trump comes on.

He's like, look, I did this incredible thing.

Talk about it.

Like, you know, he likes that.

And he deserves it.

Yeah, he does.

But, you know, he's, I think, conflicted because I think a lot of his base is, you know,

not so enthused about the operation.

And, you know, they paid attention to the side effects.

And there's been a lot of coverage about the side effects and whether or not 4,000-plus people have died, which is a pretty high number when you're talking about.

vaccines.

Yeah, but again, when you look at the rates, it's important to look at the rates.

People die all the time

with or without COVID, with or without vaccines, right?

And you look at the rates of overall death, and the people who are in the vaccinated group are dying at a lower rate, lower rate than normal.

Lower rate than normal.

What about the number of people that have grown tails?

That's a higher rate than normal.

That's a higher rate than nails.

Yes, there are way more tails.

And a third eye, is that higher too?

Third eye is about average.

Yeah, about average.

Now, a fourth eye, that's almost definitely the Moderna vaccine.

If you have a fourth eye right now and you're like, wow, my vision's incredibly good.

And then look in the mirror and there are four eyes on your face.

That's, you definitely got

the Moderna vaccine.

But if you get the second shot, it goes away.

Remember that.

It's only if you have one shot of Moderna do you get four eyes.

If you get the second one, those two eyes fade away.

But you might not want to lose the vision gains.

They're incredible.

You're like at 80-20.

I might just keep it at one shot.

I mean, you look a little strange, but I mean, you put a visor on, people aren't going to be be able to tell.

And you can see.

I mean, miles, Pat.

You can see miles.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

The two extra eyes make that big a difference?

Yeah, because they have different zoom lenses.

It's like your iPhone.

If you look at your iPhone, this one has three cameras on it.

Oh, yeah.

And it's like this.

And you can see the third eye, and all of a sudden you can zoom in.

So you put a fourth camera in there, and it'd be really

inside the building.

I could see the moon with two eyes, but you can also see it.

Talking about inside this building, you can just point it up.

Right.

And you can see it.

And you can just see right through x-ray vision.

Yeah.

It's a little awkward walking through department stores, but other than that...

Stupid.

All right.

888-727-B-E-CK.

It's Pat and Stewart for Glenn.

Oh, man.

You know, part of the big blockbuster action movie where everything goes really quiet.

And then out of nowhere, there's like a huge blast of noise from the trombones and the drums and you know the monster is about to come crashing through buildings and tearing everything up.

That's sort of where we're at with the financial world right now.

If you're even slightly paying attention, you've noticed that we're headed for all sorts of economic trouble and probably it's not that far away.

So it begs the question, what are you going to do to prepare for that?

Do you have the lowest interest rate you can get on your mortgage, for instance?

We think these rates are going up.

I think they're going up at least.

Certainly seems like with the amount of spending that we're doing right now and printing of money, there's nowhere else for them to go.

And they're already so low.

So why not ask the questions you need to be asking and see if refinancing is right for you?

And welcome.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

888-727-BECK.

Glenn should be back tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, make sure you subscribe to the Pat Gray Unleashed podcast.

Stew DoesAmerica is my show.

Get that podcast as well anywhere you get your podcasts.

We also have excellent suggestions.

Very, very, very good.

Also, stewdoesmerch.com is the place to go to get any.

We have a few Nancy Pelosi sucks pens still available.

Andrew Cuomo is awful t-shirts.

All sorts of very fun things where I say bad things about liberals on shirts.

So it's all there, and you can load up on that stuff as well.

And you can load up on cookies, right, Pat?

Yes, you could.

You could go to kexi.com and load up on all kinds of delicious cookies.

The salted caramel ones, the Texas sheet cake.

It's just so good.

For Father's Day, we had the bacon maple, which I didn't think was going to be that great.

I'm like, I don't know if you should do that.

Yeah, the salty sweet, the meat on the cookie thing.

Yeah, I'm not usually a fan, but she went to the kitchen and baked it, brought it home.

Try this.

Yeah, it's really, and I was stunned.

Really good.

Anyway, kexi.com.

Yeah.

Very cool.

Highly recommended.

Something else happens today.

Yeah.

That's pretty momentous.

Really big thing going on today.

In fact,

the new show in Rush Limbaugh's time slot here on Premiere Radio Networks, Clay and Buck, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton.

If you don't know these guys, you're going to get to know them.

And it's really important that you do because

there's no one going to ever replace Rush Limbaugh.

It's not possible, not a thing that can be a thing.

But

him and him unfortunately leaving us far too early

creates a massive hole in

the conservative movement.

Rush was the conservative movement in so many ways.

And I think you're really going to like Clay and Buck.

I know if you don't know Clay Travis, he's a guy who's been on the sports side for a long time.

He's an organization called Outkick.

Outkick.

He started that.

He does a lot.

He's been really prominent over the past couple years and a guy who just will say what he feels is right and does not care.

And we need more of that.

Buck Sexton is the same way.

He was here at the Blaze, and we're really proud of Buck and that he was here at the Blaze.

He went to Premier Radio Networks to do the night show for several years and now is moving into the slot with Clay in Russia's time slot.

So if you're listening to the network feed, it's the show that's about to start.

And I will say

we need

a great couple voices in that time slot.

And these guys are really smart.

They do not care.

You know, Buck has been a friend of ours for a long time, you know, here at the Blaze from many years ago.

Clay, we've watched from afar, had him on the show a couple times as well.

And he's a really good voice.

And I just think it's an incredible...

It's an incredible opportunity for these guys, but a real necessity for the conservative movement to have strong voices in the slot held by Rush Limbaugh.

And I know they know this as well.

You can't replace Rush, but as they've been saying, inspired by Rush, you know, this is going to be

something really important for all of us if you care about conservative principles.

And today's the very first day, so you don't want to miss it.

It should be great.

Clay and Buck coming up next on most of this radio station.

I'm pretty excited about it.

It should be

interesting to watch.

Did you watch any of the sports, by the way, this weekend?

Did you watch the golf thing was interesting in that John Rahm, who was leading a tournament.

He just had COVID, right?

He was leading a tournament and then found out he tested positive for COVID in a sport which he can play by himself outdoors.

Like maybe, I don't know, clear the course and let him go by himself.

Whatever it is, you should let him finish.

Yeah, he wound up with two amazing putts late in the U.S.

Open yesterday to win, which is sort of, you know, a little justice there for him.

I'm winning a much bigger tournament.

Uh, so that's that was kind of nice to watch.

Every once in a while, you get a positive story, yeah.

And LeBron's out of the playoffs, so you get more than one

positive story.

And in the first round,

which was awesome, it's shocking when he didn't have uh, he didn't have uh Davis around.

Uh, huh, the greatest player in the history of the world was unable to get through that round.

He couldn't just pick up the team on his shoulders and carry him to the finals.

So weird, weird, so weird how that happened.

Something, huh?

All right.

Glenn will be back tomorrow.

This is the Glenn Back program.
