It is Pat and Stu in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

We're going to be starting here in just a few seconds.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program

Today, featuring Pat and Stu, a lot to get into.

Geez, there was such an agonizing speech from Joe Biden, who was awful on so many different things yesterday.

We'll tell you about that, share some of it with you coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenback Program.

So if you're a fiscally responsible homeowner,

you, of course, need to know that there's no reason that you can't be paying

a better rate on your mortgage.

All the time we talk about this.

Mortgage rates are at all-time lows.

We talk about it in the news.

We talk about it all the time because it's been historic.

We're at a period where you can't possibly believe how long these rates have been low.

And then you see that we're spending trillions and trillions of dollars.

How long do you think they're going to stay that way?

These rates are not going to last forever.

But if you don't do something, you are going to

regret it.

There's a lot of money at stake here for you.

It could be hundreds or even as much as thousands of dollars per month.

Imagine what that could mean for your family.

You know as well as I do that percentage rates on credit card debt are usually highway robbery.

Why not knock all that out and focus your debt in one low percentage area with a consolidation loan?

American Financing could do this for you.

They work for you, not the bank.

They could change your life.

It's Patton Stewart for Glenn, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Is the phone number if you'd like to get involved in the show?

Yesterday,

there was,

Joe Biden didn't used to infuriate me quite as much as he does now.

I mean, he's always irritated me, but it wasn't like listening to Barack Obama, for instance.

It is now.

I mean, I think he's bought in completely to Marxist theory now.

He's just a naked Marxist like the rest of them now.

And maybe that's just everybody in leadership in the Democrat Party.

Maybe they've all just caved in.

But it's agonizing to listen to this infrastructure stuff, as well as the poor being fleeced.

Here he is.

Todd, did you see much of this speech yesterday?

Not much of it.

No, I try to avoid and keep my sanity, but it was

as the clips I've seen were as agonizing as you'd expect.

He's trying to justify spending $2.5 trillion right now, and 5% of that is going to

actual infrastructure.

So now

everything's just infrastructure.

Yes.

Everything's pierced infrastructure.

Gillibrand.

Yes.

construction yesterday.

She got bludgeoned for that.

Just basically saying, oh, well, health, you know, elderly.

Childcare is infrastructure.

Right.

Okay.

So.

Is it?

Is this thing all things?

They're just saying they're infrastructure, which now the left has decided to say anything they believe is important is infrastructure.

Anything they want equals infrastructure, which means that infrastructure has no definition.

It's just,

it's just all, I mean, as far as policy goes, it's just everything.

But that's what they do, right?

They just what they want.

When they're up against it, they just change the definition of words.

Everything that opposes them is racist, for example.

So she got hammered with that a little bit yesterday.

Somebody tweeted out, yeah, your mom and my ass are infrastructure.

Right.

I love that.

And Gillibrand's a bit of a dummy.

Like, of course.

You know, you could tell in the campaign when she was pressed and people were actually paying attention to her, which was

not, does not happen at any other point in her career,

you realize she really doesn't have much going on.

This is not a Democratic rising star.

This is someone who was able to luck into a seat based on circumstances in a very blue state and doesn't bring much to the table.

Anyone who would think that's a good idea to tweet, obviously, is not

exactly a thinking person.

The lights are on, but nobody's home.

Yeah, and the lights aren't always on.

Yeah, that's true.

That is true.

We should point out the lights, there's problems with the lights.

This is short.

They're not always on, but there's never anyone home.

There's rolling blackouts.

It's an abandoned cabin in the woods.

Yes.

And occasionally the lights kind of come on.

Maybe it's a really badly placed solar panel keeping the lights on.

It's under a lot of shade.

Maybe occasionally a streak of light.

hits that solar panel, the lights go on for four or five minutes that night, but that's about it.

But because they're uh trying to sell this tax increase to pay for this two and a half trillion dollar bill, which wasn't it two trillion just a week ago, now it's two and a half two and a half already.

This is what happens, though.

By the time they're done with it, I'll bet you it'll be three.

Yeah, it'll be three trillion.

So, here is uh Biden trying to convince us that the poor are being fleeced.

We're going to raise the corporate tax rate.

It was 35 percent

for the longest time,

that wasn't good, Which was too high.

Barack and I thought it was too high during our administration.

Did you?

We all agreed five years ago that it should come down somewhat.

But the previous administration reduced it all the way down to 21%.

Oh, my gosh.

What I'm proposing is that we meet in the middle.

28%.

Right.

28% would still have lower corporate rates than any time between World War II and 2017.

Pause it for a second.

We're not competing with ourselves from the past.

What we're competing with is the rest of the world.

Well, no, there's some companies, though, that were like, we were thinking about taking the 1965 tax rate from the United States and executing that.

Yeah.

No, they're not.

No,

they could do that, I guess.

You know, if a Belgian company wanted to increase their corporate rate to what ours was in 1965, they could.

It just wouldn't be intelligent.

What we're competing with are companies who are paying 15% corporate tax rates.

I mean, ours has traditionally been one of the highest, if not the highest, corporate tax rate in the world.

And we're supposed to be capitalists.

We're supposed to be free market people.

And

so this argument is just completely

unrelated to the problem at hand.

It's ridiculous.

And this really does put, it's not as high as 35, as he points out, but 28 would still put it right back up at one of the highest in the world again.

You would have the same problem.

And you'd probably lose corporations again because of it.

It really is unfortunate.

I mean, the 21% income tax rate showed real

signs of making these companies grow,

and it did seem to induce a raging economy before the coronavirus hit.

Now, did it have enough time before COVID for us to know the full impact of it?

I don't know.

I mean, I don't even know that we knew that.

Remember, these are long-term plans.

And this is the biggest sin of this overall in that companies can't plan for this stuff.

Because every two years, then the new administration comes in and starts screwing with these rates.

Companies can't plan.

They don't want to deal with...

One of the big upsides of having your company in America, supposedly, is stability.

Right?

A lot of companies are willing to pay a little bit higher rate because they realize, okay, this is a stable country.

They understand that capitalism is important.

They're the people who kind of brought it to us.

So it's not going anywhere.

Well, that's not the case anymore.

I mean, they can't look at this country fairly and honestly and tell their shareholders, oh, there's no big deal.

This is fine.

You have people who

have the entire

zeitgeist of the left.

people like AOC, who are basically begging for capitalism to go away completely.

So you no longer have that sort of stability.

These are not fringe members.

These are the people leading the media coverage on a daily basis.

And obviously, you see with the spending that's going on right now, they've had real impact.

We've talked about this before, but Barack Obama was terrified of getting to $1 trillion on his big plans, including Obamacare.

They did everything they could to lie and say it was under a trillion dollars because they were terrified of what the American people would think.

That fear is long gone.

It's long gone.

Not a two, three, four.

I mean,

we just said $2 trillion to $2.5 trillion.

That's almost the entire stimulus bill from Barack Obama.

Just the change we didn't notice in the last week.

Like, oh, it was a $2 trillion package.

Now it's a $2.5 trillion package.

I mean, that's two-thirds of what Barack Obama wanted to spend for the big bailout and infrastructure spend back in 2009.

There's no shame anymore in this stuff.

It's just print, print, print, spread, spend, spend.

You know, new restrictions, new seemingly unconstitutional laws and rules.

No one seems to care right now.

And he had a lot more to say about it.

We'll generate over a trillion dollars

in taxes over 15 years.

Why would you?

A new independent study put out last week found that at least 55 of our largest largest corporations

use the various loopholes to pay zero federal tax income tax in 2020.

So dishonest.

It's just not fair.

It's not fair to the rest of the American taxpayers.

We're going to try to put an end to this.

Not fleece them.

28%.

Of course.

If you're a mom and dad, a cop, firefighter, police officer, et cetera, you're paying close to that in your income tax.

I've also proposed a global minimum tax, which is being proposed around the world for U.S.

corporations of 20 pun percent.

20 pun percent.

20 pun percent.

Pat, 20 pun percent is the wrong percentage.

I think it is, too.

I think it is actually.

20 pun percent?

Yeah, I don't even know what to say about 20 pun percent.

Yeah, I really.

I feel almost speechless of my commentary on 20 pun percent.

I don't know exactly how to.

It feels wrong, but other than that, I can't describe why it's wrong.

So here's what he's proposing then.

Wait.

Okay, so you're raising the corporate tax rate to 28%.

Now you're going to also add a 21% global tax.

Is that what he's saying?

Well, a minimum tax.

A minimum.

21%.

21%.

The idea being that everyone else

administers that.

Who administers the global tax to every corporation in the world?

There is no such, there's no such entity.

There's no entity that can do that.

Right.

I mean, and the concept is

it's basically a confirmation of what we were just talking about.

They know that we're going to lose corporations.

These companies keep lowering, or these countries keep lowering their rates to get companies to go there.

So we need to, what if we stopped the competition?

It's like basically saying like McDonald's wants to charge $5 for their Big Mac, and they're like, what if we propose a global fast food burger price?

You can't go under $485.

Well, then they'd be really competitive, I guess, right?

Because they'd only be 15 cents more.

Burger King is

forced to charge 485 for their burger.

Yes.

Now you're not going to lose that many customers to Burger King.

Right.

They're not going to, the cost isn't going to be an issue.

And that's what he's proposing here.

It's completely embarrassing.

And it's unconstitutional, I'm sure.

And it's also, well, I don't know if it's unconstitutional because it seems like it's just a big, they're just hoping everyone does it type of thing.

It's like, it's not like we certainly can't implement it on these other countries.

Through the G20, though, they're going to try to force it through.

They're just going to try to force it through.

Now,

we'll see how the structure of that comes down.

But did you also notice the sleight of hand at the beginning of that clip?

When you do one of these bills,

have we not been around for a while here?

When you do one of these bills, you talk about how much it costs and how much taxes are going to be raised in 10 years.

Right.

Right?

Yes.

Why is he talking about how much he's going to raise in 15 years?

Well, the reason for that is he knows, he even knows with his crappy projections, they can't get this to work by saying 10 years of taxes will pay for it.

So, what they have done is they are talking about 15 years of taxes to pay for eight years of spending.

15 years of taxes to pay for eight years of spending.

Therefore, it's quote unquote paid for.

It's so disingenuous.

That is incredible.

And you'll hear, I mean, that's why he's talking about 15 years, because that is legitimately in the bill.

They know they can't pay for it.

So they're just going to screw with the year.

They're going to keep the cost on the board for 15 years and the spending on the board for eight years.

Now, as we all know,

as if we're complete idiots, at the end of that eight years, all of these things are going to be extended.

So you're going to get 15 years of spending and you're going to 15 years of taxes won't cover it.

15 years of taxes only covers eight years of spending.

So then we're going to have to raise taxes again.

They're telling you that.

And not at the end of the 15 years, but before that is.

Oh, yeah.

After eight, they'll ask for another tax.

The second they can is the real answer.

The second they can get them raised, they'll do it again, and they'll just look, we have this great thing, and it did so much good, but you know,

the Republicans wouldn't let us go to 35%.

They said it was too high.

Wait a minute, did you say it was too high, Joe?

They'll just forget about that.

He will remember that.

Yeah, I mean, he doesn't remember it now, let alone in eight years.

He had much more to say.

We'll get to it coming up in 60 seconds.

All right, spring is here.

It means the grass has started to grow again and you're out there mowing again.

You may or may not like that.

I know as a kid, I did not like it.

I was miserable mowing the lawn.

You can always try to get a kid from your neighborhood to do it and then he'll hate you and he'll start egging your house on mischief night.

There's that going on.

But if you want to actually enjoy mowing your lawn, I never had a Hustler turf mower.

I had nothing like it.

I had like the $8 mower that like was found on the side of the road and it was not a good, it was not a a good experience.

Hustler invented the zero turn lawn mower.

And now they started doing it basically for big corporations.

And you're talking about maybe mowing the median of a highway, right?

Like these, you know, big industrial jobs.

Well, now Hustler is bringing that same technology to you and your home.

If you want to enjoy mowing your lawn again, you need Hustler Turf to be part of the picture.

When you A-B compare a Hustler to the competition, you'll find out that there is no competition to begin with.

Before you buy some other mower, do me a favor, find a hustler dealer, and just go test drive one.

Hustlerturf.com.

Hustlerturf.com.

Go take a test drive now.

Hustlerturf.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn this week.

You know, the Marxist theory that's being employed here is just too much for me to take.

I can't take it.

They're naked Marxists now, and they don't care who knows it anymore.

And they're just pitting Americans against each other.

It's class warfare, and they wage it so often and so well.

Here's more of what Biden had to say about, well, the poor being fleeced, and of course, corporations not paying their fair share.

Let me tell you what that means.

It means that companies aren't going to be able to hide their income in places like the Cayman Islands and Bermuda

in tax havens.

We're going to also eliminate deductions used by corporations for offshoring jobs and shifting assets overseas.

They offshore the jobs, shift the assets overseas, and then don't have to pay taxes on all they make

there.

Good timing.

We're going to significantly ramp up IRS enforcement.

against corporations and the super wealthy who either failed to report their income or underreported.

Estimated that would raise tens of billions of dollars.

And it adds up to more

than what I proposed in just 15 years.

In just 15 years.

It's honest, it's fair, it's fiscally responsible.

None of those things.

And it pays for what we need and reduces the debt over the long haul.

And by the way,

I didn't hear any of our friends who were criticizing this plan say that the corporate tax cut, which added $2 trillion of the debt, I hate that.

Trump tax cut.

No, No, it's not.

$2 trillion now.

$1.9 trillion.

Pause it again for a second.

No.

Okay.

When you give somebody a tax cut, that doesn't add to debt.

What that usually does is bring in more revenue for

the government because people do better when they pay lower taxes.

And so you have more money, which is taxed at

a rate that you were paying before, but now you're making more money.

So you're actually paying more money into the federal tax system.

And you will hear online Lopilo paying that with that claim has been debunked.

It hasn't been debunked.

No, it doesn't.

It's happened every single time.

It's been

the issue, what they're doing is they're comparing it to a theoretical number.

How much money would they get if these tax cuts weren't passed?

They're saying like, okay, well, if we got

like if you're making, if you're bringing a trillion dollars in and you lower the taxes and the next year you're bringing $1.2 trillion, I'm just making these numbers up.

They would say, well, you could have had $1.3 trillion

if you just kept the rates where they were.

Now, of course, that's a theoretical, counterfactual that we don't know.

I mean, no one can say that for sure.

But even if it's true, you're getting more money than you got in real terms.

More dollars have come in.

And you should be able to run your budget on that number.

Instead, they say, well, we could have even had more to spend even more.

But the...

The whole theory is based on the fact that the government thinks it's their money to begin with and that they're giving you their money.

No, it's the corporation's money and you're just taking less of it.

You didn't have it to begin with.

How could it add to the debt?

Well, it doesn't.

All right, there was more agonizing nonsense from it.

It wasn't paid for,

the vast majority of which went to the top 1% of the wage earners.

Okay.

Everybody.

And everybody tolerant.

Everybody.

In this recovery, the so-called before I became president, this K-shaped recovery, where billionaires made $300 billion more dollars during this period, where's the outrage there?

Why would I be outraged by that?

Why would I care?

I want other people to do poorly.

I am outraged.

I want people to have bad news in their life.

Yeah, right.

I don't even understand this.

By the way, what was it, 2017 we had that tax cut?

$3.32 trillion were our income from taxes in 2017.

2019, $3.46 trillion.

So he went from 3.32 to 3.46.

Now they would say, well, you could have had 3.56.

But like,

we went up 3.32 trillion to 3.46 trillion in that time since the tax cut.

Up again.

And by up to 10 years.

And down, we lost a whole bunch of money.

No.

Is that what you're saying?

No, by up, I mean we had more revenue after the tax cut.

So it did not cost us $1.9 trillion.

It's a ridiculous narrative.

It's not true.

They're just comparing it to this theoretical world where different rates existed.

And I'm sorry, like,

if you were saying it went from 3.32 trillion to 2 trillion, you could say, okay, well, we've really cut the revenue coming into the government.

We have more revenue coming into the government, at least until the pandemic.

And we don't know.

It looks like that's going to go up again, by the way, in the pandemic.

They're estimating it's going to be up around 3.7 trillion for the pandemic year, which is

mystifying.

Yeah, it's amazing.

It's a really, really strange world we live in.

But the bottom line, this is all built on lies to justify these policies that they want.

They want more of your life, more of your money, more of your control, more control over you.

And that's the end game here.

This is the Glenback program.

Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready to get out of it.

You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place.

And with COVID, well,

that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.

Here's the thing.

There are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a timeshare, but most of them don't because most of them don't have a team of attorneys and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.

This is a group of attorneys.

That's it.

You know who has that group of attorneys?

Timeshare Termination Team.

They're ready to step to the plate and help you.

Just call 888-get you out.

888-GETYOOUT.

Call Timeshare Termination Team today.

Get the process started.

Don't keep putting it off and get stuck with another years of timeshare that you're not going to use.

You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare.

20%.

So make sure you tell them that Glenn Beck sent you.

It's 1-888-GETYOUT.

Doing our part to keep free speech alive.

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

Patton Stuford Glenn, 888-727B ECK.

You know, it came out

last week or the week before

that of this $2.5 trillion infrastructure bill, 5% of it is actually going to infrastructure.

So.

It's not 0%.

It's not 0%.

No.

Could be 0%.

They could have made it negative percentage points.

They could have.

We don't know.

I don't know how they would have done that, but I suppose they would have to.

They would have had to take money from bridges.

So they would, I guess that means that if there's a toll bridge, they would get all the money from it, which they probably do anyway.

Yeah, yes, they do.

Yeah, I think they do.

So

because it came out that 5% of infrastructure is going to infrastructure, they now are claiming that infrastructure is everything.

It's daycare, it's healthcare, it's the climate change, all of it's infrastructure now.

And that's the point that Joe is kind of trying to make here, where he tells us that infrastructure is more than just roads.

It's more than that.

Will you have failed on your promise of bipartisanship if you don't get Republicans on board with this plan?

Your first plan passed along Harding Line.

Look, what I said was I would try to work with my friends on the other side.

Why are you whispering, Joe?

There are things we're working on together, some of which we pass and some we will pass.

But the last plan, I laid out what was available, what I was suggesting, and how I'd deal with it.

And a bipartisan group came to see me.

And then the Republican group came to see me.

And they started off at $600 billion

and that was it.

That was it.

If they'd come forward with a plan, that did the bulk of it, and it was a billion three or four, two or three,

that allowed me to have pieces of all that was in there,

I would have been prepared to compromise.

But they didn't.

They didn't move an inch.

Not an inch.

But for example, I'm

dealing with a bipartisan group that came to see me.

Now it's about, what, three, four weeks ago when they came about computer chips and about

we have to have our own supply.

We have to work together.

We're working on that.

Chuck Schumer and I think McConnell are about to to introduce a bill along those lines.

So I'm prepared to work.

I really am.

Really is.

But to automatically say that the only thing that's infrastructure is a highway, a bridge, or whatever, that's just not rational.

It's not even rational.

Okay.

To say that infrastructure is just infrastructure,

it's not rational.

May I have my pudding now?

Yeah.

This is...

You'll see here I have some pudding.

To say pudding is the only thing that's pudding.

It's also infrastructure.

It's also soup.

Pudding is infrastructure and soup.

Pudding is infrastructure.

Pudding is soup.

Pudding is pretzels.

It's all pudding.

Why can't we just have a pudding plan we all agree on?

So when your argument isn't making any sense, you just change the meaning of your argument that's what they're doing and by the way the infrastructure thing was if if anyone defined it it was the biden obama administration because they kept saying crumbling roads and bridges crumbling roads and bridges well that was their mantra for years for years and now now that they have the uh all this money they could get up to 1.2 billion dollars i guess is all he wanted which is weird because if they offered 600 billion and then you wanted 1.2 why wouldn't you take that hard to understand it's almost as if every time he speaks, he makes a terrible mistake, which I don't know what that signifies, Pat.

I can't think of why that would occur with an older gentleman that maybe every time he spoke, he said the number completely wrong.

You know what it is?

What?

It's crumpling infrastructure.

It is.

That's what it is.

His dementia is infrastructure.

Yes.

That's one of the things we need to understand.

First of all, his telling of the story is ridiculous.

There's tons of reporting that disagree with it.

I mean, mean, if your point is they came to you with 600 billion, but you would have taken 1.2 trillion, why didn't you, I don't know, offer 1.2 trillion and see if they'd take it, right?

And maybe they wouldn't, but you could say we came all the way down from 1.9 to 1.2.

They didn't do that.

They kept it at 1.9 the whole time.

They just said, well, we didn't like your initial offer, so we're not going to counter.

That was essentially how that went down.

And why should they?

They're in control, so they don't think they have to.

They don't think they have to compromise in any way.

They've got two bills to do whatever whatever they want with yeah and not whatever they want but whatever they want when it comes to spending and taxation they can do those they can get away with those things here with two of these bills because of the reconciliation rules and they can get through it get it through with 50 votes and as long as they don't really piss off joe manchin or kristen cinema or one of these other quote-unquote moderate uh but have would have been almost communist at any other point in our history uh senators uh then you are then you sit back and you say okay well they can get that through.

It's one of those things, just because of these rules, it's just what Trump used for his 2017 tax cut.

You can get these things through as president if you have control of everything and you have 50 votes in the Senate.

And so he's going to be able to get these things through.

It will be shocking if they blow this and can't get another couple trillion dollars spent.

It's almost impossible to stop them.

It's almost impossible to stop them.

Yeah, this is going to happen.

It's just going to.

It's just.

So is there an argument, Pat?

We can't afford this.

Is there an argument for, and I'm just a devil's advocate here because

as someone who's on talk radio, I know how I feel about it, right?

Like, I want them to just do nothing because I can't stand this entire thing.

That might not be the most rational thing.

So stepping back, is there

an argument to make that Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins and whoever else go in there and say, hey, I know you want to spend 2.5.

What if we come along on 1.6

and we cut out a lot of this and we don't make it as damaging and they go along with it to get their quote-unquote bipartisan bill passed and try to minimize the damage?

Is there some value to that?

I don't know.

I mean,

it feels,

my emotions tell me, screw off.

Don't go near these people because they're terrible.

But is there an argument to go to them and say, all right, look, not $600 billion because we know they won't go anywhere near that, but you go to them and say, look, we understand infrastructure, yes, we'll do all the infrastructure stuff you want, and we'll do half of the other crap you want.

Let's just not do all of this.

This is obviously too far.

Is there any argument in your mind?

Oh, sure.

I think so.

Especially if you could get them to back off the tax increase a little bit.

Yeah.

If you get something in return, like instead of saying 28, what about 26, 25?

You know,

this is essentially how the Senate's supposed to operate in some ways, right?

Where there's supposed to be

some compromise, some deliberation.

It's supposed to work like this.

That being said,

my instinct is to just,

you can't trust these guys any further than you can throw them.

There's no, there's absolutely no reason to believe they will be honorable in this negotiation.

But the question is, do you just suck it up and see how much off of this now $2.5 trillion and probably tomorrow $3 trillion you can save?

Yeah, I think you could do that.

It just won't happen, though.

Nobody will do that.

I don't think they'll even make an effort at doing that.

So it's just, they're just going to go along, and it'll be $2.5 trillion.

They just did $1.9 trillion, which is essentially $2 trillion.

And now they're going to do another $2.5 trillion.

We've never seen the like of it in world history.

This kind of spending this fast.

What kind of pace they put us on.

This, I mean, talk about being bankrupt.

I mean, we were bankrupted a long time ago in reality, but there is no way when you're raising the deficit at this kind of rate,

there's, you can't even pretend like we're ever going to be able to pay this off.

Like our, I always hear, oh, well, our children and our grandchildren are going to be saddled with this debt.

No, they're not.

There's no way to pay this off ever.

There's no way unless you just inflate money so much to where you print up $35 trillion and you say, China, here's yours.

IMF, here's yours.

And we're done.

It worked out really well for the Weimar Republic.

It didn't led to some really good things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That wouldn't piss anybody off if you devalue the dollar that badly and then just pay off.

But that's the only way you could really do it.

We're never going to pay off this debt.

And that's part of basically

monetary theory, which is something we're basically doing.

Again, it's not,

we didn't have a big conversation and pass a bill and say, you know what, from now on, we're just going to print and spend however we want.

And when the debt comes due, we'll just print more.

It's like lazy potato chips.

Eat all you want, we'll make more.

Right.

Spend all you want, we'll print more.

That's what we're doing.

It is the lazed potato chip philosophy of economics.

It is.

And it's what the Elon Omars and the

AOCs

want to occur, have been arguing for,

and now here we are just doing it.

What if we didn't have a debate about it and we just tried it?

You know, it's a lot.

Well, you remember when the reporter, or I think it was a reporter, asked AOC, they were sitting on a stoop in New York City, or maybe it was Brooklyn.

I don't know.

And he asked her about

whether or not

you can pay this stuff off.

People often say, like, how are you going to pay for it?

And I find the question so puzzling because how do you pay for something that's more affordable?

How do you pay for cheaper rent?

How do you pay for it?

You just pay for it.

You just pay for it.

You just do.

How do you pay for it?

You just pay for it.

She is almost

almost too smart.

She is almost

too smart.

You feel like you're talking to some physicist and you're just like, all right, I don't even understand.

What are you?

You're talking about Stephen Hawking's sister?

It's just so smart to say how do you pay for it you just pay for it just pay for it it's almost too brilliant i can't i can't conceive

the the intellectual plane she's on

right right that's the problem that's the problem you're you're talking to stephen hawking you know and he's just going on and on about black holes or whatever and you're just like something in astrophysics and you don't even know the words that are coming out of his mouth are you speaking english am i hearing i don't even know what's going on right she's that smart

but there there is a, and that, but that is, she,

it's about as much thought as gone into modern monetary theory.

Like, that is basically, she's, as dumb as she is, she's accurately describing it, basically.

You go out there, you print as much, you spend as much as you want.

When the money comes due, you print that money

and then you redo it.

Do it again.

And yes, the money inflates eventually, I guess, but you don't,

you're no longer concerned with the two things they're not concerned with, with modern monetary theory are debt and

inflation.

They just, if you, if let's just pretend those things didn't exist.

Like, what if you, if you were in a world right now where you had a printing press and you knew there would be no ramifications from the actual debt and you knew there were no ramifications from inflation,

wouldn't you also print money forever?

Yes.

There's no reason not to.

That's why you don't do it.

But they say, well, what if we don't think about those things at all?

You know, and maybe it'll work out.

Yeah, it's it's worked out so far.

Yeah.

So let's try it.

Just keep doing it.

Let's just keep doing it.

And then

the conservative answer to that, and even the liberal answer to that up until the last couple of years, was always: look, there's some limit here, right?

At some point, that's completely gone with Democrats.

And they just don't, they know,

yeah.

We have control of the money supply.

What do you mean there's some limit?

No, there's not.

We just keep printing it.

Yep.

That is really what they believe.

Hey, we're being warned by a top scientist not to to try to contact intelligent life out there.

You know, we're getting ready to send out

a telescope that, you know, it's like the Hubble telescope, except I believe it's a hundred times more powerful than Hubble is.

And we've seen way out into space with Hubble.

So they're sending this one deep, much deeper into space.

I think about a million miles from Earth.

And then it's it's then it's a hundred times more powerful than uh Hubble.

So they expect to see some amazing things and maybe be able to contact

other intelligent life.

But this scientist is warning against it, saying, yeah, you might just be inviting our overlords to the planet.

So maybe don't do that.

Why would the telescope be the problem?

I mean, if we were firing lasers randomly into space, you know, nuclear missiles just kind of throwing them out there, I could understand that maybe.

a telescope are they gonna be that i'm not sure if it's if it comes equipped with some sort of you know uh

signal as well sure that it can send out a signal that hey we're here and we're looking around for friends we'd like to have some friends in the galaxy if there are overlords though they probably would know we're already here so is he saying that we're going to alert them and they'll be like oh we need to become overlords of those people yes okay that hey oh uh there's somebody else out there that we haven't uh taken over yet so let's just go do that now and take care of it uh

I personally don't think that would be an issue.

I mean, if, you know, we've had all these sightings of UFOs over the years.

We haven't been destroyed yet.

And you would think if they can get from their place to ours, they've got technology that we can't even fathom.

And they could have destroyed us a good long time ago.

I don't know what they're waiting for, if that's what their intent was.

I mean, look at us.

We're begging for it.

Have you seen the way that we're doing it?

What more do you have to do?

What more do we have to do to be destroyed?

Yeah.

So anyway, this will be in place by May of 2022.

So be afraid.

Be very afraid.

Well, I will say if it works out, one thing we will know for sure is it's infrastructure.

Yes, it is.

We know that.

Very important part of our infrastructure.

Yes.

So if you're like most Americans, you probably spend a significant amount of your time thinking about how to make more money or at least you know, save more money than you currently do.

Nothing wrong with that, of course.

Among the other agonizing things Joe Biden said and discussed yesterday,

what did you think about the 500,000 charging stations?

The U.S.

government is apparently going to build.

500, half a million charging stations.

On behalf of Tesla and GM, is that what you're doing?

Do we have to pay for that?

The charging stations are infrastructure.

Yes.

And actually, that's what they'll tell us.

You could argue, I guess, that it is, right?

You can't.

Are gas stations infrastructure then?

Because how many of those have we built?

I mean, we don't think zero.

That's not the way that works, right?

Yes.

Having something that you could identify as infrastructure, one of the biggest weak points, right, of the whole idea of electric cars is there's not charging stations.

Yes.

So

if we build this infrastructure, then people can buy electric cars.

That's the theory behind this.

Of course, the other theory behind this is we're going to pay people to buy electric cars.

I mean, thousands and thousands of dollars every time someone buys one.

Is it still seven grand?

I don't know if it's still seven grand.

It's moved around a few times.

It was expiring at one point.

They reinstituted it.

I don't know off the top of my head.

I don't plan on buying it.

If anybody needs help

in their company with their goods and services, it's Tesla.

Oh, it's Elon Musk.

Poor Elon Musk has no money.

Do you know he's fallen to the second richest man in the world?

That's sad.

He's only number two.

He's worth $151 billion is all now.

Pathetic.

We just instituted a GoFundMe page for him,

and we'll be sending people to that site to help out in this time of need for him.

Finally.

Finally.

Finally.

Had to be done.

It really.

It really did.

You know,

I can't remember the stat now off the top of my head, but it's definitely in the six figures.

The average person who buys an electric car or a hybrid is up around $100,000 a year.

Well, you sort of have to be because they're expensive cars.

They're expensive cars, and they're essentially not, they're essentially a signal of your virtue.

The number one thing polled of Prius owners, why did you buy a Prius, is to,

because it says something about me.

Although that was the number one answer.

The new Humvee, I think, wouldn't be an altruistic choice for me.

I'd like to have it.

It looks cool.

This is an

electric hummer.

Yeah.

And look, we've been on the record.

I have no problem with electric cars.

I loved them, in fact.

When we drove that Tesla, we were both sold on it.

Serious.

I mean, it was absolutely the fastest car I've ever driven in my life.

By far.

And, you know, it was 0 to 60 in something like 2.9 seconds.

I mean, it is remarkable how fast it is.

It feels like you're in a jet.

taking off.

It's instant.

It does.

It really is an impressive piece of technology and a great thing for someone who wants to buy a $150,000 car.

And then they have cheaper versions of it.

You can go down and get a,

you know, it's still expensive, but not

out of the range of, you know, 99%.

It's like maybe out of the range of 70% of Americans or 60% of Americans.

An expensive-ish sedan that's still a pretty well-performing vehicle.

There's nothing wrong.

I like the fact that Tesla is doing the things that they're doing.

I like the fact that

I generally like Elon Musk, even though he's totally on the other side of the global warming thing, probably from where I am.

I like the things he's doing.

He's putting up 18 trillion satellites

into space to give us all internet.

So you can get high-speed internet in Antarctica.

I think that's a cool project.

Starlink is the name of that.

You've got the SpaceX stuff going on, obviously.

You have, you know,

he's building, you know, flamethrowers.

He's got all sorts of crazy stuff going on.

And I like that.

But there's no reason for a government to be supporting that nonsense.

Like, let him do it.

You know, they are doing it.

It's become much easier to find a charging station already.

He's built a lot of them.

Yeah.

They just want to build them all over the place.

They just want to skip the steps.

Yeah.

They just want to skip the steps.

They want to be able to,

instead of...

Elon Musk doing it and it takes him a long time and it takes a while to design it.

What if the government comes in, steals a bunch of money from other people, prints a bunch of money from other people, and then just does it themselves.

And surely the government's going to do it the most efficient way possible.

Surely there won't be like, you know,

rural area,

unused charging stations all over the country if they get away with this.

Well, when you're doing a half million, there's going to be lonely charging stations.

Oh, yeah.

And, you know, it's tough.

This is why this is a difficult thing to attempt, right?

With electric cars.

That's where you need them, right?

You don't need them in a big city.

You can find them in a big city.

They're already.

If you're in a big city and you have a Tesla, you can find a charging station most likely.

There's one, I go, I take my kids to Pancake Time every week.

We do

a breakfast out, and we go to a place called

Original Pancake House here in Dallas.

And they have charging stations.

Now, I have never seen anyone charging their car in the charging station, but it is at a pancake station, a pancake house in the middle of Texas.

There's a freaking place to charge your Tesla.

Down the street, there's another, you know, there's a long series of them where you can go charge your Tesla or I guess other electric cars.

I don't know how, I don't know how

consistent

that is.

Yeah, if it's compatible with every single EV, I don't know.

I assume it would be, but I don't know the answer to it.

I don't plan on buying one anytime soon.

But I wouldn't be opposed to it.

I mean, you know, it's again.

I wouldn't either.

When I can get to 400 miles on a charge, I think I'm in.

And they claim to be there or close to it.

This new Hummer is supposedly 350.

Now, I don't know if you have to turn everything off, the radio, and don't use the

big screen in there, and you have to drive really slowly and cautiously in order to make it last 350 miles, but that's pretty good.

350 miles, you're getting pretty close to being legitimately doable

for the average American.

The other issue of just not having a charging station is how long it takes to charge.

So you're talking about instead of a four-minute fill-up at a gas station, you're talking 40 minutes or 45 minutes.

Yeah.

And it's still not fully charged.

Very inconvenient.

It is.

It's not.

Look, it's not perfect.

It's come a long way.

And you know what?

Isn't it great in a way?

Forget the, I, because I do oppose the money coming from the government to someone like Elon Musk.

And I don't, I don't know why he doesn't oppose it more, frankly, as a guy who has taken a lot of tough stands.

I I mean, you see what he's done with COVID over the past year.

He's taken a lot of tough stands.

I don't know why he likes the money so that's probably because it's so beneficial to him.

Yeah, I mean, I guess it's got to be, but it's still, he seems like the type of person who would be like, I don't care.

You know, I'm not taking it.

Yeah.

But again, he's a big global warming advocate and obviously is not as conservative as sometimes he's made out to be.

I don't think you could possibly describe him that way.

But that being said, like

here's a guy who's the richest man in the world or the second richest man in the world who basically started this company with the idea that it could very well fail and I might lose a billion dollars on it, but that's okay.

And a lot of people thought he was going to.

Yeah.

And there were points where they almost did,

frankly.

But like he just took the risk and then at the other side said, well, I really believe in this whole project.

If it fails, it fails.

I'm going for it.

That is a much more American way of dealing with an issue, excuse me, than, hey, we're going to build, you know, 500,000 charging stations around the country

through the government, through people's tax dollars.

I mean, I don't have an electric car, Pat.

You don't have an electric car.

No.

In fact, I can't think of anyone that I know.

I see the Teslas around town sometimes, but I don't know anyone who has an electric car.

I don't know anyone who has one that I can think of.

So all of us, everyone in my entire life, is going to be paying for charging stations for cars they don't own.

That is why it's immoral.

Forget, you know, whether it's inefficient and a bad idea.

It's immoral because you're just taking money from regular people to give to people whose average income when they purchase these cars is over $100,000 a year.

Yeah.

That's not even a conservative position.

The left should be the one outraged by this.

And as we're discussing this, I looked up at the monitors that are in the studio, and there's an expert on, I think, CNBC right now talking about how the 500,000 charging stations, that's only 27% of what's going to be needed by 2030.

Well, good.

I don't care if it's 1%.

Why is the government doing any percent of those that should be needed for these private companies?

They should be doing it themselves.

They should be doing it.

We shouldn't have to pay for it.

And what happens is you draw people in who just work this system, right?

Like you're taking advantage of average people who are having to put their tax dollars into these situations, who will not utilize them for a very long time.

And who does that benefit?

It benefits people like Elon Musk, right?

Who doesn't need the benefit at this point.

But it also benefits, you know, all sorts of smaller people who either bought these cars, but are already wealthy,

because most people, you really aren't even attempting to buy a Tesla unless you're at least relatively well off.

And it benefits a bunch of rent-sinking companies that will be created to take advantage of this money.

You know, this happens every single time these giveaways

go on.

These companies will jump and just basically say, well, we've seen it with like these subsidies where people will adjust, will do things that don't even benefit their company because they know if they produce a certain amount of grain for this, you know, magical fuel that is in some energy bill, they know they can collect the government money, even though they know none of it's helping anyone.

They don't care if it's working or not.

They've decided, they've looked at the bill, they've analyzed the bill, they've realized they can do X, Y, and Z to get cash out of the government because the bill, as usual, is dumb.

So they are able to break in cash for absolutely no benefit whatsoever.

This happens every single time one of these bills is passed.

And Joe Biden seems to think that, you know, it's his gig to just go in there and and spend a couple trillion dollars a month and see what happens until people stop him.

I don't know.

I mean, hopefully, there's only one more of these because he has to get 60 votes after this unless they get rid of the filibuster.

Right.

And that's a big unless.

A big unless.

They're going to try.

I think they're going to try.

They're going to need a big event.

I mean, Joe Manchin again came out yesterday and said, I'm not, there's no circumstance in which I will get rid of this filibuster or adjust it.

But he's trying to set down an even tougher line.

We'll see if it holds up.

My guess is you get the

right tragedy, the right

extenuating circumstance.

And he'll fold.

And he'll fold.

He'll say, look, we just did not see this coming.

I mean, I never imagined a scenario in which the Republicans would do X, Y, or Z thing they probably didn't do.

And then you walk it through.

With 50 votes, it is tough, though.

You know, 50 votes is different than 52 or 54.

You know, you really can have, with a little wiggle room, at least you'd have room for these guys to occasionally bail.

They all have to be completely in unison to get these things through, and that's hard.

That is difficult.

I mean, it is difficult.

Yeah.

But they're going to be able to get another couple trillion dollars out of this without a doubt.

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

We all feel the same sometimes.

Like, no matter how much we put into our savings, our cars don't care what that money is for.

You know, our cars don't care about our bills, our dream destination, vacation, even the kids' education.

Strangely enough, when something breaks, it's always coming out of that fund and it's always a setback.

That's why you should have car shield.

I have car shield.

We must play this feel-good clip, maybe the feel-good clip of the week, at least, maybe month from Sarah Isger.

She was actually on a panel on ABC News, and I don't know how this happened.

She could have been taken prisoner, and she might be being held somewhere for saying these kinds of things on an ABC television station.

But she was talking about the Georgia law, had a couple of great points.

Here's Sarah Isger on what's going on with the Georgia law right now.

Which is Delta, Koch, et cetera, these corporations coming out and condemning the Georgia bill, which, as you said, is ridiculous compared to other states.

Delaware, Joe Biden's home state, didn't even have early voting in 2020.

They won't have it until 2022.

Wait, what?

They're condemning that.

They're condemning this Georgia bill without really understanding it.

Joe Biden has been labeled a recidivist liar for what he has said about the bill by the fact-checking organizations.

And what about

China?

We have actual concentration camps going on in China, and these corporations won't say word one about it.

And the hypocrisy of that, I think, is very clear to a Republican base that this isn't about whether they feel strongly about a Georgia bill that doesn't do what the Democrats are afraid it will do.

That's great.

How is it possible that Delaware, that Joe Biden has gotten away with this the whole time?

Yep.

All during this discussion.

They're Jim Crow on steroids is what he's calling it.

And Delaware doesn't even have early voting?

It is remarkable.

New York

has a lot more restrictive voting

as far as early voting goes

and then Georgia as well.

You know, Chuck Schumer's out there railing about this as well.

True.

Sarah Esker is very smart.

She's at the Dispatch, and she does a lot of great stuff there.

And it's important to note these things because

the narrative has overwhelmed the facts here.

Yeah.

You know,

it is a, it's, it's embarrassing as a, for a country that should be able to do better, it is embarrassing that this stuff takes hold.

And you saw, did you see what the

what the Masters did?

No.

They were talking about, you know, boycotting the Masters now, which is, of course, in Georgia and happening this week, right?

It's this week.

I think it starts today.

Yeah, it starts today.

And, you know, first of all, the Masters famously was like, yeah, man, we don't care if you,

wait, you want us to put women in our club?

Nah, we don't feel like it.

So we're just not going to run any commercials for the next few years.

Like, whatever.

You want to go ahead and boycott all you want.

And then eventually it ends, right?

These companies would learn something from the masters to just say, if you just ignore these people, eventually it usually just goes away.

I mean, 99% of the time, it just goes away.

Stop panicking over tweets, you idiots, is the main message that people should take.

But

they asked Fred Ridley, he's the chairman of Augusta,

about this potential master's boycott.

And he says, I believe, as everyone does in our organization, that the right to vote is fundamental in our democratic society.

No one should be disadvantaged in exercising that right.

It's critical that all citizens have confidence in the electoral process.

I don't think that my opinion on this legislation should shape discussion.

I just don't think that's going to be helpful in ultimately reaching a resolution.

You're right.

Yes.

Yes.

We don't need to know what the golf guy thinks about this legislation or the soda people or the baseball players.

None of that matters at all.

None of them have read the bill.

None of them understand what they're talking about.

And we keep acting as if these things make a difference.

That's the way you respond to this.

Step up and say, you know, I don't,

what do I know?

It's irrelevant what I think of it.

What does it matter?

We're relevant.

What we're doing today is we're going to hit some balls with sticks.

That's what we're going to do.

All right.

Get out.

Stop asking me about this nonsense.

Look how nice our grass is.

That's the right response.

And they seem to be the only one capable of giving it.

I don't know why more companies, I think it was,

there was one company.

I can't remember what it was.

I'll have to go back and look.

It might have been Coinbase, the crypto company.

I think it might have been Coinbase.

And

they got into some political thing.

And people were trying to protest this or protest that.

And they just said, look,

here's our response.

We take political positions on cryptocurrency issues because we're a cryptocurrency company.

If you want to go and talk about other things, you can do them on your own time.

It's not part of the company time.

Company time is cryptocurrency time because we're a cryptocurrency company.

And you know what?

Maybe we should be dealing with cryptocurrency issues.

If there's a cryptocurrency issue that's affected in politics, we'll be sure to talk about that.

But if it's about something else other than cryptocurrency, that's not what we do here.

How unbelievably refreshing is that and not and it makes sense yet not difficult yeah it's not that is not hard you do not need to take a stance on these things does mean you have to stand up to people that are tweeting you the 10 people in their underwear in their parents basement who are tweeting you that they're never gonna use your company ever again yeah And God, that is a tough thing.

What a hill to have to climb.

I guess it is.

But I think you can do it.

I think you can handle it.

It's amazing the lack of spine that these companies have.

Just stand up for yourself.

If you're making bubbly fizzy drinks, just talk about that.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Join the conversation: 888-727-BEC.

It's Batten and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

By the way, thank you for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of Glenn and his family.

Very much appreciated.

Hopefully, the plan is for him to return on Monday.

Problem for Deshaun Watson, who just signed-what was this two months ago, maybe?

Six months.

Has it been six months?

Has it been that long?

Boy, time flies.

But he just signed a $40 million a year deal with the Houston Texans.

And now

I would be surprised if he ever plays another down in the NFL.

And, you know,

I don't know if he's guilty or not, but he should have his day in court before he loses every bit of his livelihood.

Nike just dropped him, which probably...

I mean, for most athletes that are high profile, like Deshaun Watson, what is that, a $10 million deal a year, $20 million a year?

Could be anywhere in that range.

So that's a massive loss in income.

And they suspended him, technically.

They suspended him.

They didn't actually fully drop him at this point.

Yes.

I think it's because there's such little known still about these cases.

All we know is this big number with a bunch of blank faces, with the exception of a couple yesterday.

And the big number is 22 women have

filed, have accused him of sexual assault or harassment in these lawsuits.

And I guess, are all of the lawsuits being handled by the same lawyer?

If that's the case, then you know, there could be a lot of piggybacking, there could be a lot of bandwagon jumpers here.

I don't know.

We'll see.

But Ashley Solise

is the first to really kind of come out and do a press conference on this.

And she talked about surviving this assault and the harassment from Deshaun Watson.

I am a survivor of assault and harassment.

LaShawn Watson is my assaulter and my harasser.

Leshawn Watson assaulted and harassed me on March 30th, 2020, in my own home doing what I love most,

massage therapy.

Okay, so

tearful.

She seems sincere.

I'm kind of surprised that Deshaun Watson went to her house for the massage.

Are you?

I wouldn't think he would ask them to come to his.

Well, you're in the middle of

right at the end, I guess, of 15 days to stop the spread before another 30 days to stop the spread when this happens.

So it's mid-that's right.

Also,

quite clearly a violation of what the NFL players were supposed to be doing at that point when it comes to COVID, I'm sure.

Although maybe the arrangement wasn't fully put together at that point, so there was a gray area right um but but he gets a lot of massage

deshaun watts

gets a lot of massage the man loves the massage yes apparently yeah i mean who doesn't because even by their telling there's 18 massage therapists who've come out and said hey you know he's actually a really nice guy and didn't do anything unprofessional right that's just a lot of massage therapy yes it is a considerable amount a lot of different people and they're like well people are

athletes are going to get more massages it's like like it's an important part of their treatment, which is true, though it does seem like the word from inside the NFL is that it's pretty rare that you want to rotate them like this.

Like you're not going to

have tons and tons of different massage therapists.

You're going to basically have the one from the team, maybe one other.

You know, it seems like a more, you're much, and that would be smart, by the way, especially if you're Deshaun Watson.

The last thing you want to do is be getting naked with a bunch of people and getting touched in a closed room over and over again for this type of thing could happen at any point.

Just the threat of that happening should preclude these guys from doing that, right?

You would want somebody you absolutely know and trust.

And that's probably usually somebody with a team.

And you always want a witness in there with you at the time because it's just too easy for something weird to happen or

be accused of something happening.

But Ashley said she's so upset now she can't any longer practice massage.

No longer practice the profession that I love the most without shaking during the session.

My hands shake whenever I place them on a client and I've had to cut session short.

If you only knew how heartbreaking that is to me,

I got into massage therapy to heal people

To heal their minds and bodies,

to bring peace to their souls,

Deshaun Watson has robbed me of that.

He took that away from me.

He tainted a profession in which I take enormous pride.

Flashes of Watson's face rush to me in the moment.

I think of his Venus touching me, which sends me into a tailspin.

I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.

I'm in counseling as a result of Sean Watson's actions.

I hope he knows how much pain he's inflicted on me emotionally and physically.

And I hope he knows how much pain he has inflicted on these other survivors.

It's obviously tough to hear, and she's gone through something very dramatic, it seems.

And I'm not, this has nothing to do with whether she's telling the truth or not.

I don't know.

I wasn't in the room, obviously.

I don't understand this tactic, though, from attorneys, right?

Like, okay, you have a lawsuit filed.

Then I think it's been now about a month.

In that month, obviously, she's, and this is not a, this is not, I am not saying anything wrong, bad about her or anything, but like, she's obviously been coached through this.

She's reading the entire statement word for word.

You can tell by the phrasing of what she's saying, it's all specifically designed to elicit the maximum possible financial reward, right?

Like, you know, her livelihood has been taken away, right?

Her, her joy in life has been taken away.

She has very tremendous, and she's going through all of this.

And all of this makes sense to me on the stand,

on the witness stand.

This is exactly what you would expect to see from a witness in a case like this.

Why is this happening now other than you're just trying to

get Deshaun Watson to give you a bunch of money in a settlement?

Right?

Like, I don't know.

This is a tactic you see all the time from attorneys.

This is not exclusive to her.

It's no commentary on whether her story is true or not.

It's just, it seems to be a quite,

a really transparent tactic to try to elicit a settlement.

And maybe

that's all it is.

Yeah.

But I, you know, I don't know.

That does feel strange.

I would also think that, you know, she talked about coming in contact with his unit.

Yes.

I would think that when you're a massage therapist working on an athlete and they have a lot of groin area injuries like pulls and tears and whatever, wouldn't that happen accidentally on a fairly regular basis?

I just don't know.

That's a good question.

I don't know.

Maybe there's a massage therapist that could let us know about that if you've worked on an athlete or people who...

You do groin work for them.

Is there a lot of groin work going on with the average massage therapist at their home?

I don't think with the average one.

I don't think so.

I get she's saying she was assaulted, right?

So obviously it's not just contact is maybe the wrong way of phrasing that.

That is what she said.

Yeah.

I came in contact with it.

But, you know, if she's being assaulted, it may have been in a much more traumatic overall environment than she's just brushing it up.

I don't think, though, that she was raped or anything, right?

Am I mistaken in that?

I think he just kind of

moved it or something.

I believe

around.

There's 22 accusers.

How could one sort them all?

I know, but one of the therapists, and I believe it was her,

mentioned that

he put her hand on it.

Okay.

Which is, again,

absolutely a crime.

Yes.

It's inappropriate.

Yeah.

I mean, it's

a criminal.

We keep focusing on this because of the danger that has been created by this bizarre precedent of accusation equals guilt.

And that's been the focus of our analysis of it in some ways, because it's impossible for us to know whether it was true or not.

All we know is we have a system set up to decipher whether it's true, and we keep not following it.

We keep just saying, well, yeah, but like,

she seems really, you know, sincere, and she does.

She seems really sincere.

So therefore,

must be true.

Right.

Like, and that's just not what our legal system is supposed to be.

And that's where I think

from a central place, from a systemic focus, that's where our attention has been.

Though, I mean, these can be, you know, obviously there are terrible people who do terrible things like this.

But we don't know if Deshaun Watson is one of them or not.

Right.

We don't know.

Yeah.

That's why we have a legal system.

It's her word against his right now.

That's all we have.

Finally, she mentioned her father, and she says, I believe this is

the worst thing about this.

Father, who was once a die-hard Texans fan, can no longer mention his name without turning red, seething with disappointment.

I think that that's the most heartbreaking aspect of it all.

Most heartbreaking.

We were all deceived into thinking Deshaun Watson was a good guy.

And unfortunately, we know that good guys can do terrible things.

I don't know if this actually happened.

The most heartbreaking thing to me wouldn't be whether or not your dad is still a Texans fan.

That would be down the list quite a bit.

Quite a ways down the list.

It might be one of the heartbreaking aspects, but it's not the most heartbreaking aspect.

I doubt he would describe it that way either.

Yeah, for sure not.

Not if he believes his daughter that she was assaulted by Deshaun Watson.

You'd want to kill the guy.

Yes.

So

it's, you know, hopefully Deshaun Watson will get his day in court.

The problem is, I think this is just civil action.

I don't think he's being charged criminally at all.

Now, I think the Houston Police Department is looking into it, and so charges may be pending sometime, but there are none right now.

So

he just tries this civilly, which goes by a whole different set of rules.

It just seems to me that the proper approach, we talked about it with the masters just a minute ago.

It's not your job to get in there and decipher, you know, election law.

That's not the job of the golf tournament, guys.

It's not the job of the soda company.

It's not the job of the baseball team.

The same thing, at some level, I think that would be a smarter approach for a lot of these leagues to just say, look, we have a legal system.

I think the left should be really, really hesitant to get back into this world where accusations equal guilt.

That was

a real problem.

If people remember, you know, we talk about this being Jim Crow 2.0.

Well, Jim Crow 1.0 had a lot of this type of stuff in it.

That era was filled with African Americans being falsely accused of sexual assault, and people just believed them because there was a convincing accuser.

And a lot of people went to prison, even though they didn't do anything wrong.

And here we are now in 2021 with the ultra, you know, open-minded left, and an African-American has been accused of a crime, many crimes.

We don't know how many of them are true, but the media seems to want to convict him over this.

The only defense I've seen of,

and look, it's hard to defend when it's 22.

I mean,

some of this feels outdated as we have more and more of these accusations have piled up, but we've only heard two of them.

We should point that out.

The only reason we know 22 names is 22 accusers is because the lawyer keeps telling us there's 22 accusers.

Deshaun Watson's own legal team doesn't know who these people are.

So are there 22 accusers?

Maybe there are.

I mean, probably they have somebody, right?

But we don't know the level of the accusations.

We don't know,

you know, did he make a, did he make a joke that was inappropriate?

Did he ask for some sexual contact and the person refused and then it ended?

We don't know what some of these are.

You can, you can, you can guarantee in a pack of 22 that some of them are, are, are things like that.

Some of them are very minor.

Some of them may be completely false.

But if any, if something, even if the, if the, if just one of them is true, that is a reason for this to go to court and

to go through the legal system so we have an actual answer.

It is not the football league's job, nor should it be, by the way.

No one should want this.

You know, if you're on the left, you want the NFL

to

be judge, jury, and executioner on a league that is 75% African American and

many of them very wealthy that get accused of stuff all the time that may or may not be true.

We've seen lots of shakedowns where the evidence has come out that it's not true.

This does happen.

This is why we have a legal system.

Why not use it?

By the way, Rusty Harden, Deshaun's lawyer, claims that this was a shakedown.

He claims that

her lawyer, Busby, asked him for $100,000 in hush money.

So who knows?

Just, again,

due process has to happen for people.

We can't be rushing to judgment on every single one of these.

888727 BECK, more patents, Duke for Glenn coming up.

You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

We haven't talked yet about Sophia Bush, terrific actress

that has said that banning puberty blockers

for people, you know, until they get to an age of adulthood, perhaps, that they can make important decisions like that in their life.

It's akin to murder.

It's akin to murder.

It's akin to murder to deny them a puberty blocker.

Huh.

I don't think that word means what she thinks it means.

No, it doesn't.

I don't think it does either.

Again, this is the left changing, completely reorganizing discussions and changing the meanings of words and things.

It's amazing how often it happens.

This is the Glennbach program.

The Glennbach program.

With patents due today,

the President of the United States is proposing some common sense

gun control reforms

here.

Just common sense.

He loves.

Joe Biden loves the Second Amendment.

He's all about it.

These are just common sense reforms, is all these are.

Joe Biden is dedicated to the future of the Second Amendment.

He's got a shotgun.

He owns one.

Yeah.

Just get a shotgun.

Get a shotgun.

That's all.

So we'll tell you about some of these common sense reforms that he's just going to...

He's just going to legislate through, well an executive order coming up in 60 seconds

the Glenn Beck program for just a moment I want you to think about what it would look like to be completely out of debt in fact think about what it would be like to have more money to save hundreds maybe even a thousand a month when you refinance your mortgage with American financing that's the exactly sort of the type of outcome you could be dealing with and that's a good outcome do you have debts i mean 2020 was obviously a a very rough year.

2021, getting worse.

I think the higher the number, the worse the year is the way this works now.

And that's not fun.

So Biden has come under intense pressure, supposedly, from gun safety advocacy groups and Democrats to fulfill his pledge to tackle gun control.

He said he was going to do it on his first day.

On the first day in office.

On the first day.

And he didn't do it on the first day.

So now he's going to take apparently six executive actions on guns and gun control.

The first is to propose a rule within 30 days to stop the proliferation of ghost guns.

Now, are you familiar with ghost guns?

I'm not, I don't know what that is.

You don't have a gun.

I don't know what it's called.

It's a gun of your own?

I don't.

So ghost guns basically.

Is it a gun you can't see?

Yeah, do you ever see space guns?

It's only there in spirit.

Do you remember space ghosts?

Yeah, space ghosts had

ghost guns.

Oh, okay.

No,

and they're not just guns that only work on ghosts either.

People thought, you know, like the Ghostbusters packs.

Yeah,

it's not that either.

Ghost guns are basically like

to summarize, I guess, people building their own guns, right?

Like, so that you're able to buy components of a gun, put them together because they did not go through the traditional manufacturing process.

They don't have a serial number.

There's no reason you need one in that particular circumstance.

And it goes everything.

Most, I mean, to act as if this is a problem

in our discourse is ridiculous.

It's like it's a very small, small, I mean, small, do you want to build a firearm?

Again, people who are, there are a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this, right?

It's not just like, you know, criminals.

There's a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this.

There's a lot of people who just enjoy guns that really like doing things this way.

It's like building your own, you know, kitchen table, right?

Like there are people who, that doesn't make any sense to me.

There are machines that are building those for me.

Why would I go through that process?

But some people really get enjoyment out of it.

So they do it that way.

That's the overwhelming majority of people with this type of situation.

You know, it also goes to obviously could be criminals who can't get guns other ways, could theoretically make it happen this way.

There's been a couple of shootings where it appears ghost guns are involved.

Again, getting a gun in this country is not really a problem.

Even if you're a criminal and we have a border that's open basically for business, so people are, glads are flowing over the border all the time and going to criminals all the time.

A lot of these murders happen because drug dealers are able to buy illegal guns from other drug dealers and gun dealers.

So it's not as if these laws will affect that type of thing.

It's just one of those things that I think a lot of people would look at on his face and say, wait a minute, there's no way to trace this.

There's no serial number.

This should just not happen.

This should not be a thing.

And I look, it's one of those things that that I think connects with the average person who's, you know, never used a gun, right?

Like, you know, it seems wild and crazy.

We just live in a country that has a second amendment to the Constitution, which clearly states you are not allowed to infringe on these rights.

So even I said the same thing, by the way, just as strongly about Donald Trump's ban on bump stocks, which was blatantly unconstitutional, blatantly, and by the way, has now been already overturned in the courts.

You can't just

say you want these things to stop and then they stop.

That is not our constitutional system of government.

You can't just be like, you know what?

I don't want our ghost guns.

Therefore, we will not have them.

I don't want bump stocks.

Therefore, we should not have them.

That's not a thing in this country.

But it is okay to ban the weapons of war that are made only for death,

that are made specifically for one purpose, one purpose only, and that's to kill people.

That's not what they're doing.

The assault weapon ban.

That's okay, right?

No.

Definitely not.

I mean, he's not even going to try that by executing.

No, he's not.

It seems like, Pat,

because I mean, the ghost gun thing has had a lot of attention, which is kind of like a.

Does that include the

what was the process where you copy the gun?

It's the...

Oh, 3D printing?

Yeah, the 3D printing.

Does it include 3D printing of guns?

That's a good question.

I don't know the answer to that.

Because our gun guy, I think, would be really upset about that.

You know, in whose conception, under what paradigm?

Right.

Remember that?

I'm just resisting.

What are you resisting?

I don't know.

The collectivization of manufacturer, the institutionalization of the human psyche.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure.

But I can tell you one thing.

This is a symbol of reversibility.

They can never eradicate the gun from the earth.

Yeah.

What about that?

What about that, Stu?

I hadn't thought about that in a while.

I know.

What was the human psyche thing that happened there?

The institutionalization.

Institutionalization.

It's been institutionalized.

Do you want your psyche to be institutionalized?

I don't think so.

He's resisting that.

He thinks.

He's not sure, but he thinks he is.

Classic clip from the Glenn Beck program, by the way,

with the guy who did the first 3D printed gun.

It's been a while since we played that one.

It's been a while.

But it's a classic.

I don't know if it covers those or not.

That's a good question.

I mean, I'm, you know, certainly no guns.

I would think it does qualify because obviously they wouldn't have a serial number, right?

So I wonder if that qualifies.

The other thing they're going after are these

similar to AR-15s, you can get these guns that have certain attachments on them that basically that are called, that are technically pistols.

So

they are regulated under those

rules, but feel a lot, look a lot like an AR-15.

Now, at one point long ago, I had one of these.

It was lost in a terrible boating accident.

Oh my gosh, what a coincidence.

Yes, it was a terrible.

Same thing happened to me.

Yeah.

I can't remember what lake I was on or ocean.

I can't either.

But it was a big body of water.

I remember that.

And it was super, super deep.

It's the deepest lake.

Yeah, the deepest lake I've ever heard of or ocean.

And

it was so deep and so immense that I didn't even try to go get it.

I just let them sink to the bottom and they've been gone ever since.

A terrible, terrible tragedy.

Terrible.

Of

gun loss.

But it left me without my AR-15.

That's all I know.

And these are pretty cool.

I mean, they're really nice.

Again, an AR-15 is

one of the great things about it is as a legal gun owner, if you need to hit something, you're able to hit it.

Like that is the benefit.

People are like, oh, why would you need an AR-15?

I don't know because unless you're firing guns all the time, you're probably not going to be incredibly accurate with a handgun.

Unless you're really the type of person who's going to the range constantly, it's a lot easier.

And especially for a woman who may be defending yourself against a larger man, maybe stopping power is something you want to think about, right?

You know, it's like these people who are so pro-woman just do not want women to be able to defend themselves for some reason.

And I'll never understand that part of it.

But they're trying to get rid of those.

They're basically trying to say that, well, these are just skirting the rules.

Now, they're not skirting the rules, but that's what they're trying to accuse them of.

They're also, he wants to get rid of the stabilizing braces for pistols.

So that's what he's doing.

That's what that is.

Yeah.

That's the thing.

The stabilizing braces for pistols is their code for

the AR-15 look-alike.

Really?

Because

it's technically a pistol, but

it looks and feels like an AR-15.

And therefore, that's evil.

Other actions include directing five federal agencies to make changes to the 26 different programs to direct vital support to community violence intervention programs as quickly as possible.

So he's going to do that too.

And then, of course, you know, he had,

he's apparently going to involve Betto, his gun czar, and Betto's promise, of course, was.

Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.

We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anyway.

I mean, that's what they want, right?

They want to stop all sales of AR-15s and AK-47s.

I don't know any Americans who have AK-47s, but

if they do,

I'll bet they've lost them in a boating accident like we did.

Guys, you know,

that's happened a lot.

I know.

That's the problem.

It's dangerous.

They keep talking about banning guns.

They should ban boats.

I keep getting in boating accidents in deep lakes all over the state.

And I can never remember what lake I was in.

Yeah.

I know.

It's weird.

It is, it is really ridiculous.

And

there's so little he can do.

The reason why he didn't do this on day one and he waited for month four or three is because he can't actually do these things legally.

And what is happening is behind the scenes, people who understand how these things work are telling him over and over again, you can't do these things legally.

It's not going to hold up.

He's now come to a point where, I mean, half of the things he's doing are, what we're going to do is we're going to do an executive order on guns that will tell the states to pass laws on guns.

Right?

Like, that's like a lot of what this is.

It's a lot of like recommendations to the states, which again, I would argue there are also going to be unconstitutional,

but it's down the road a little bit.

And they don't, he can look like he's pleasing his base.

And who knows?

Maybe they get a couple of good judges and things go through the right way for them.

Yeah, and they're a little pissed off at him because he did promise during the campaign that he was going to reinstall,

reinstate the assault weapons ban.

He did pledge that.

He said, we've done it before and we can do it again and we're going to.

Well,

no.

It was also unconstitutional then, first of all, but beyond that, which is why it was overturned anyway.

But would the, would the, if these things do wind up with the Supreme Court, do you have any confidence?

Because I frankly, I don't even know if it holds up in the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court does

rule that these things are unconstitutional, I don't have much confidence in him.

I have very little little confidence in this, you know, in the Supreme Court, though more confidence, I guess, than I would have at other eras in the past.

You know, people look back at the Heller decision, which was the first major gun case that people talk about that really

codified the idea that people could individually own guns.

And there's a lot of good in there, obviously, did a lot of good things, but really, there's a lot of questionable reasoning in that ruling, which in some ways basically allows

anybody to ban guns almost immediately upon their release.

Any new model, anything that's not commonly owned, they could go after.

And they haven't done all that much of this because I don't think they want that to go back to the Supreme Courts because I don't think that would work out well for them, meaning the left.

But it's not exactly the most

pro-gun ruling you've ever seen in your life.

It did get the basic right for an individual to bear arms, but like really shouldn't have been a question at all.

And the left hates it anyway.

And the left hates it anyway.

Yeah.

So I think like we've seen a lot of cases that have threatened to go to the Supreme Court in recent months and a lot of them don't get up there.

And you got to hope at some point they take some of these and get these laws and rules, you know, really,

I don't know, confirmed so that we don't have to keep going back and asking these same questions over and over again.

This is what the left does.

We've seen this happen over and over again, where they will pass rules that are blatantly unconstitutional.

They will get challenged in court.

When they get up near the court at the very last second, they step in and they say, oh, actually, we're going to get rid of that law.

So the whole thing is moot.

And so the court backs off, and then they wait three months and they pass it again.

A very similar type of rule.

It goes all the way up the courts, repeat and

rinsewash and repeat.

And that's not the way the legal system is supposed to work.

Biden's going to try to do a lot of this stuff on his own.

I don't think he's able to do it constitutionally.

Many of the things he's just assigning to others who will then be overruled because they're unconstitutional.

It's a freaking clear sentence.

It shall not be infringed.

There's not a lot of questions there.

It doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

It doesn't.

It really doesn't.

And of course, we can go back to all the militia stuff and all that nonsense that was decided in Heller.

But regardless,

it is clear you're not allowed to be doing these things.

You want to be able to do them.

Modify the Constitution.

That's how you do it.

And you can either either repeal the Second Amendment, you can adjust and modify the Second Amendment in some way that pleases you.

You cannot just do this while this amendment stands.

It overrules you every time.

It just does.

You can say there are things you can do that are illegal with guns, like shoot people, right?

That's okay.

Just like you can say there are things.

I've been the law for a while.

Yeah.

Just been a while.

Yeah, a little while.

Yeah.

But just like you can say, like, you can do things with your voice, right?

Like your speech, there are things that you can can do to others, libel, that can be illegal, but you can't just like, you know what, you can't say this word.

You can't do that.

They're going to try to get your jack.

Then Jack can do it.

Then you can.

Yeah.

It's Patton Stuffer Glenn 888727BECK.

This is kind of interesting.

A lot of times,

a lot of times you'll say, well, it's interesting, isn't it, that the left, the leftist comedians on late night television never seem to get around to joking about the Democrats who were in office, but wow, did they spend some time on Donald Trump,

George W.

Bush, Ronald Reagan.

I mean,

Gerald Ford, every single Republican president gets bludgeoned while they're in office.

And

so far, at least, Joe Biden's been pretty much left alone.

Well, Samantha B.

has just admitted, yeah, she doesn't like to joke about him.

She kind of leaves him alone.

She admitted she pulls her punches when it comes to Joe Biden, which is interesting because she certainly didn't do that with Donald Trump or his family.

No.

She famously said that Ivanka was a feckless

C-word.

And then I think she apologized for using the word feckless.

That was basically the tone of it, yes.

Yeah.

Because, I mean, she has a lot of feck.

I don't think that she's ever been feckless,

but

that's what she apologized for.

But when it comes to Biden, she says, why would I purposefully undermine something that seems to be a great idea pretty much across the board?

Like,

I don't need to make jokes just to make jokes.

Like, I like to make targeted jokes.

So everything he does and stands for, I guess, is great and a great idea.

There's nothing funny about Joe Biden.

I tend to disagree with that.

I think

there's a lot of cannon fodder there to be had but they did the same thing with obama in fact saturday night live

i think somebody from saturday night live saturday night live during the obama years actually said there wasn't anything funny about barack obama right you remember that yes now that let's

if you really want to give him the benefit of the doubt like obama was very rehearsed

he very rarely

made

comments that were unexpected.

You know, he kind of knew who he was.

He made speeches in front of teleprompters.

I mean, that was a criticism of him.

He's always reading off a teleprompter.

Now, you can certainly make jokes about somebody reading off a teleprompter.

They just chose not to.

With Biden, though, I mean, the guy is

constantly screwing up details.

He's constantly forgetting where he is in a story and in a sentence.

He's a thousand years old.

He

went through a large scandal in which he was sniffing children's hair.

Do we not remember who this guy is?

Yeah, and then you've got his son.

Yeah, and his son.

I mean, there is a ton of cannon fodder there with Joe Biden, and she can't find any of it.

Well, I don't know that she can't find it.

She's saying she doesn't want to find it.

She doesn't want to find it.

She doesn't want to find it.

And, you know, look, you can do that.

You know, I don't think that that's

that she needs to, she should, in some ways, she's going to do what her audience wants.

And I will say sometimes, you know, we'll joke about Trump and people get pissed off about that.

But we're not going to,

he's a human being.

He's a politician.

He's, you know,

he deserves, when he says something silly, it's fun to make fun of it, right?

Like, that's just what we're supposed to be doing.

If we're not doing that to people on our side, if we're not making fun of, you know, Mitch McConnell for being a turtle,

we found that about him.

He looks like a turtle.

He looks like a turtle without a shell.

Right.

And it's coming out.

He looks like a human-turtle hybrid, and we're going to note that.

This is the Glenbach program.

Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready to get out of it.

You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place.

And with COVID, well,

that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.

Here's the thing: there are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a timeshare, but most of them don't, because most of them don't have a team of attorneys and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.

This is a group of attorneys.

That's it.

You know who has that group of attorneys?

Timeshare Termination Team.

They're ready to step to the plate and help you.

Just call 888-get you out.

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

Pat and Stupid Glenn this week.

Our Border Patrol doesn't get nearly enough credit.

Man, they do a lot of great things.

Seriously, great things.

Saving people's lives over and over and over and over.

And they get no credit for that.

I mean, they find people in bad ways at the border all the time because I don't know if you know this, but when you cross the border, you're not necessarily in the nicest, most civilized part of the country.

Really?

Yeah, a lot of times it's hot.

And there's very little water to go around.

You might have a long walk ahead ahead of you, even when you get here.

Yeah.

Depending on where you cross, it can be somewhat dangerous.

And the Border Patrol finds people, brings them to hospitals, gives them medical care on site a lot of times, gives them water and food and sustenance and then a place to stay.

And they just found, I mean, this is heartbreaking.

One of the agents on the border just found an abandoned 10-year-old boy last week in the Texas desert near the U.S.-Mexico border.

He was with a big group of people who were crossing the border with coyotes.

Apparently, his family wasn't with him.

And they just abandoned him.

And they just left him there and took off.

So the child was seen sobbing.

and asking for help and he tells the and the border agent was off duty when he found him and you you know, he said he was trying to find his way home, said, and they can rob me, kidnap me.

I'm scared.

Well, yeah, you're 10.

I'm older than 10.

I'd be scared being abandoned on the border like that.

So the agent asks, well, what happened?

And the boy says, it's that I was walking with a group and they left me behind and I don't know where they're at.

Then the agent asks him, you don't know where you're at?

They left you behind behind alone?

And the boy replies, of course they left me.

They left you behind by yourself.

You're not traveling with your mom or dad or anybody.

And he says, nobody.

I was with a group to turn myself in to you, and they left me behind, and I came to look for help.

This is part of the border situation that's never discussed.

Then it falls to us to take care of poor kids like this who've been abandoned or turned over by their family to some group of people that's heading north to the border.

A coyote, perhaps,

who probably made $7,000 per person in the group.

They don't really care about anybody, but they got their money.

They don't care about anybody in that group.

No.

And so

securing the border is good for everybody.

It stops a lot of these problems.

It's not going to stop all of them, but it will discourage if you have a secure border, a border wall and good enforcement and border patrols that monitor who's jumping over the wall and who isn't,

you're going to cut down on these kinds of incidents.

They just will.

Less and less of these kinds of things will happen.

You're not going to have 18,000 unaccompanied children that you're going to have to house somewhere.

Seven times the number that they had at the peak of Donald Trump when everybody was crying and screaming about what a horrible humanitarian crisis that was.

It will never cease to amaze me that the humanitarian side of this argument is we should just let people flow over the border into the deserts and see what happens.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

It's incentivizing this behavior, of course.

by promising, you know, we went from a president who at least publicly signaled he didn't want people to come across the border and did do a lot of things to try to help that process along.

Very difficult to get that stuff done, of course.

But like to a president who says, you know, hey, yeah, yeah, sure, don't come, don't come.

Of course, if you do come,

we want to tell you right now that if you are a child, anybody under 18, you're automatically not going back.

That's what he said.

You're in.

You're automatically.

We're not going to send you back.

And

we're going to give you food and shelter and we're going to find a place for you to live.

Because now it's our responsibility.

We're going to do all that.

It's just crazy.

It's just crazy.

And the problem is so bad now that not only do they have these overcrowded facilities at the border, it's clear up to Long Beach, California now.

The Long Beach Convention Center has now been taken over by

the Biden administration to house migrants.

It's the 12th overflow facility

that they're using.

Now the number is more than 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children in its custody.

20,000.

That's unbelievable.

It's just unbelievable.

But it's not a crisis to the Bidens and the Biden administration.

And it's all Trump's fault.

If you were to listen to what they're saying, they're still blaming Donald Trump for this.

Of course.

They're going to be doing this forever.

They're nuts.

They're still blaming blaming George W.

Bush for stuff, let alone Donald Trump.

What I find it really interesting about this whole debate, there's been this back and forth about whether it's a crisis.

You know, Jen Saki kind of famously flubbed it and said it was a crisis by mistake, but they've been pretty good at trying to deny this is a crisis.

It's just a humanitarian challenge and all these things.

And while I understand

the attempt on our side to say, no, this is a crisis and you should admit it's a crisis.

And look, it's true in many, many ways.

However, is it true to them?

Like, we keep saying it's not a crisis.

They should be admitting it.

Is it really a crisis to the Biden administration?

Yeah, probably not.

When they've dedicated their entire policy to say, basically, we want you here.

Yeah.

You know, they'll say occasionally, oh, well, look, we just wait.

Don't come right now.

But, you know, they ran with the idea of this past president who tried to stop you from crossing the border was Hitler.

And we're going to do the opposite of what Hitler would do here.

We're going to make sure that you're treated fairly, that you have a path to citizenship.

And he even said, we're going to do this in the first hundred days.

So if you are someone in Honduras who like maybe wants to take advantage of this, when should you get here?

Within the first hundred days.

Right?

He's telling you in advance, this is what he wants to do.

And so

I thought of it this way of of like, remember when Popeyes released the chicken sandwich, their chicken sandwich, last, I think it was last year or the year before.

And it was a big deal.

Big deal, right?

And they, look, Popeyes came out.

They did a lot, spent a lot of time making this chicken sandwich.

They went through all the, you know, the chefs and they did taste tests and all this and came up with what they believe was the perfect chicken sandwich.

And then they advertised the chicken sandwich and they had people tweeting about the chicken sandwich and they made a big deal about the chicken sandwich.

And then they released the chicken sandwich.

And you know what?

People liked liked it so much that they lined up in at at popeyes all across the country and the line went down the street and they sold so many freaking chicken sandwiches that they ran out of chicken sandwiches a chicken place ran out of chicken sandwiches was that a crisis for popeyes

now they might say look in theory would we love to have enough chicken sandwiches to be able to serve to all these people at popeyes sure i'm sure they would but would they describe it as a crisis?

No.

It went exactly how they planned, only better.

And that is how the Biden administration is looking at this.

It isn't a nuisance, right?

Like, I don't think that they want to be dealing with these PR things that are going on with kids, you know, at the border and all of this.

They'd rather be spending their, you know, trillions of dollars and banning guns right now.

And they'd rather have it be smoother on the border.

I bet that they don't want to necessarily have to do these things in these ways.

However, they do want all of these people in the country eventually.

The fact that they showed up a few weeks early is not a crisis to them.

True.

To our country, sure.

To them, no.

Yeah.

Another good example of that would be Clorox.

Is it a crisis for Clorox that they can't keep their

merchandise in stores?

Oh, the wipes?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

I mean, people

buy the millions every day.

They were saying they were shipping.

Was it a million a day?

I think it was a million a day, and they couldn't keep them in stores.

That's not a crisis.

That's not a crisis.

Now, look, would they like to have more that they could sell even more?

Sure.

Sure.

Sure.

That would be great.

But it's not a crisis.

It's a challenge.

Right.

And that's how the Biden administration looks at the board.

It's a marketing tool.

Like Apple.

I mean, a lot of people think Apple does that on purpose, that

they on purpose

don't manufacture enough iPhones when they first release one so that they create the incredible demand.

And it looks really good that they're completely sold out of iPhones and everybody lines up for miles to get an iPhone.

I mean, it's the same thing.

And they've got these people lining up now.

They think to vote for them in a few years after they make them citizens.

Is that a crisis?

To the Biden administration?

No, it's a goal.

You know, you've got a goal that Gensaki shouldn't be calling it a crisis because for them, it is not.

It's part of a long-term plan.

That's a really good point.

And it's pissing me off, but it's a really good point.

It's pissing me off, too, and it's bad for the country.

It is a crisis for this nation, but for Joe Biden and his administration, it's not.

They look at this as

maybe a little bit of an early arrival to exactly what they wanted.

And it doesn't seem like anyone's going to stop them.

You know, I mean, they may be able to slow this down at some point, but the long-term goal of being able to keep illegal immigrants in the country without really any

ability to change that, other than eventually the tide turns enough where they can pass a reform that gives them all citizenship or legal rights to be here with a path to citizenship or whatever it is, some form of amnesty for these crimes that they won't say are crimes.

There was a poll in Mexico that I've never forgotten from

maybe a decade or two ago.

And the poll was asking Mexicans

if they would migrate to the United States if they had a chance.

Do you want to migrate to the United States?

30% of them wanted to.

30%.

30% of a country.

Of 120 million.

So that's 35 million, almost 40 million people.

So if you send the signal that, Sure, we'd love to have you all, come on.

All of y'all come free.

I don't think.

And to be honest, they're going to.

You know, Mexico is just part of that problem.

Right now.

Now, Guatemala and Honduras endorse even bigger issues.

And you see, South America is in a terrible place with their economy, much worse than we've had it over the past year.

They've had it much worse with COVID than we've had it.

They're fleeing their governments, which are in collapse.

I mean, Brazil is in collapse right now.

It is worse in Brazil as far as COVID goes than at any point

that it was here.

And there shows no real sign of them being able to get this under control.

I'm not a huge, I mean, I don't think any of us are purveyors of panic when it comes to this pandemic.

But Jair Bolsonaro has taken that to a whole different level.

That guy, when he was,

this was last year, I think in the summer when it was early on when only 5,000 people had died.

And they said to him, some reporter said, hey, Mr.

President, 5,000 people have died so far.

And his response was, so?

Okay, that's a guy who you probably don't want at the head of your country.

All right, 888, 727, BECK.

What in the world do you do about that?

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.

We know that.

The Glenn Beck program.

We were just going over some of the COVID numbers,

which are pretty promising, I think, for the U.S.

I think so too.

I mean, we've come down a long way.

Yeah, we're getting about 3 million vaccinations a day, which is a lot.

Seems like a lot.

And they expect full vaccination of, well, it's going to be available to everybody by, what was it, the 19th of this month?

So 11 days from now.

And our numbers are all trending down.

Hospitalizations, infections.

The average death per day is down to 797, which is still too many.

You don't want anybody dying from it, but that's way down from what it was.

And in

some of the countries around the world, they've had really big success when they've been

when they've rolled out the vaccination really well, like Israel.

Israel and the UK are the two that you probably point to as the one.

I mean, they're the two most vaccinated countries.

They've had both had massive 90-plus percent drops in cases and deaths.

Wow.

Yeah, I mean, it's gone incredibly well.

And they're over 50% vaccinated, right?

Israel is, so the share of people who've had at least one dose.

Israel's up now at 61%.

They're by far the leaders.

UK is at 46.

And then we are.

We're at 32%.

32.

Okay.

That's right around Chile, which is one of the countries that people are like, well, what's going on in Chile?

They just went into lockdown again.

Yeah.

It's hard to know, I would say.

The only thing I would say about Chile is they really really haven't done much testing at all.

So it's hard to compare their numbers.

They've tested at like one-fifth the rate of a developed nation.

So like

you've noticed one of the things that happens with

tests, they would also, by the way, some of the scientists would point to variance,

you know, being, I mean, that area of the world is having, is in a really big battle right now.

Yeah, we just mentioned Brazil.

Brazil is a disaster area.

I mean, it's as bad as it's been anywhere in the world.

They're thinking that they're going to catch us in actual numbers of dead, like over 550,000 and with a population of what, a third less than we have?

Yeah, well, people criticize Trump for being too whimsical about coronavirus.

Bolsonaro was like,

not only is he like out there like making out with people in the middle of the street, he's also eschewed the vaccine completely almost.

I mean,

he basically is like, yeah, just take some vitamins.

So it's not going well.

They just recently put in orders for the vaccine because he had canceled all their orders at one point.

And he got sick, right?

He had it.

He did have it.

He had to have the Glenbach program.
