Let me tell you quickly about home title lock.

You never thought that COVID could cost you your home.

Cost so many people so many things, but the home, really?

Well, cybercrime is up 75%.

And by far, the most serious cybercrime to kind of hit us has been home title theft.

Home title fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

It's this giant, giant suck of money because if they, you know, you might have $100,000, $200,000 of equity in your house, depending how far you are in paying it off.

And it hits the people who pay their bills, who are on time with their mortgage, who have done it right.

They've got all, you know, they maybe have their house paid off, and they don't even notice that this is happening to them.

Home-titlelock.com is the place you can go to protect yourself against this.

If you register your address and see if you're already a victim, use the code radio and receive 30 risk-free days of protection.

The code is radio at home titlelock.com.

I have this, Glenn has it, Pat Gray has it as well.

And it is something that you need to have

in the year 2021.

Got to be protected against this stuff.

Home titlelock.com is the place to go.

Hometitlelock.com.

Code is radio.

We have Pat and myself in for Glenn today.

Radio show here starts in just a couple of seconds.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

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

Welcome to it.

Lot to get into today.

Of course, the oppressive Georgia law and moving the, unfortunately, moving the all-star game out of Atlanta.

Woo!

That was a close one.

You wouldn't want to have that in a racist place like Georgia, would you?

You wouldn't want that.

That and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So are you one of the millions of Americans who live every day of your life with lots of pain?

If so, what have you tried to get rid of it?

And how long did it work for you, if it worked at all?

You know, we've talked about this so many times.

You know, Glenn has had a huge issue with back pain, and he was dealing with debilitating pain all the time.

One of his favorite things to do, of course, is to paint, and he can't even do that half the time because of how bad his back pain was getting.

Eventually, Tanya

convinced him to become a Relief Factor user, and he started using it and had great results.

Has now been able to paint him.

You should see some of the paintings this guy's doing now.

Glenn is really good.

I hate to tell him that he's talented at things, but in this case, it's very, very true.

Relief Factor is not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it, of course, go on to order more.

They like it.

It might work for you too.

Give it a shot.

You can order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

What have you got to lose?

Except your pain.

Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

That's relieffactor.com or 800-500-8384 for Relief Factor.

It's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenbeck program, triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

So they did, in fact, move the All-Star game out of Atlanta.

Incredible.

I mean, really incredible.

Incredible over nothing.

Over absolutely nothing.

It literally is a nothing burger, what they're trying to do here.

But they've successfully acted as though

they've absolutely excluded every minority in the state from ever voting again.

Yeah.

And there's no sign of this.

The law overtly expands early access to voting, overtly.

It is, you know, you could say, it's so funny, Pat, because you go back to 2020 and people said, look, we need these new rules and guidelines for voting because of the pandemic, right?

We don't know how this is going to be when election time rolls around.

We need to have easier ways for people to vote, voting by mail and early voting and all these different things.

And like, that is a logical argument, right?

Like, we understood, you know, we understand that it was also being used for politics, but like there's some sense to the idea that we didn't know what was coming around the corner.

And you might want to do what you can to loosen up the rules for this one election.

As they pointed out, it's a one-time thing, a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic.

You're going to change things up.

Now, the media is acting as if that is the only way anyone has ever voted.

And any change and diversion from that track is an automatically, you know, controversial,

racist policy, even though by any measure, this is the most,

the easiest way to access the ability to vote in any election with the exception of 2020.

2018 and every other year before that would have been much more restrictive and continues to be much more restrictive all over the country, including states like New York and Delaware.

Delaware, you might note, is the home state of Joe Biden.

And it's much more difficult to vote there than it is in Georgia.

But no one seems to care.

And because it's really not about this, it is not about Georgia voting at all.

It's about things that are much larger than that, like HR1.

They want people to get so frustrated with voting rights and look at all these states passing all these things.

We can't trust them anymore.

Look, Pat,

we said, yes, I know I said I wasn't going to vote to get rid of the filibuster.

Sure.

Sure, I said that.

But we did did not expect the Republicans to do things like this.

I mean, how could we possibly have seen this coming?

They're going back to the Jim Crow era.

Of course, we do.

We need to do it this one time because this is so important and just need to nationalize elections, no big deal.

This is actually Jim Crow on steroids, as you know,

from our president.

Jim Crow on steroids.

Think of how bad that is, not only to just a disservice to the American people today who are actually trying to understand what's going on, but also a disservice to the people who went through to the United States.

Total slap in the face to them.

I mean, this was a terrible era for our country.

Terrible things happened.

It wasn't like you could only vote

early for 17 days.

That's not what Jim Crow was.

This was,

it's a complete insult to the people who had to deal with those actual policies and those actual hardships.

We had a story comparing Georgia to

the new Georgia law, to New York voting laws.

In virtually every case, the new Georgia laws are less restrictive than New York's.

So what do you get?

Watch them move the All-Star game to New York City.

I'll bet.

And nobody will say anything about New York's voting laws.

Or watch them move it to Wisconsin, where they've got stricter voting laws.

And nobody will say a word if they move this thing to Milwaukee.

It's absolutely astounding to me how effective they've been in making something out of absolutely nothing.

Nothing.

In fact, they made something very, very evil out of something that's really pretty good.

They extended the early voting.

You do have to have an ID.

at the polling booth, but 25 states require ID.

More than half of the states, actually, I think it's 26 states,

require an ID when you go vote.

I mean, there was nothing extraordinary.

You can give them water.

That seemed to be,

that seemed to be the real

stickler in this whole thing is that

campaign workers can't give water to people in line.

Now, as you know,

Pat,

drinking water in line is central to the right to vote.

Central.

Absolutely critical.

You must have it.

In the scorching heat of

Georgia in November.

Scorching.

You must have it.

Blistering.

Yes.

If you stand out in it, you will get blisters.

That's how hot it is.

That is legitimately how they were describing it.

The scorching and blistering heat of Georgia.

Okay.

Yes, I know they have primaries in times where it is very hot in Georgia, but these lines are not popping up for primaries.

Not to mention, I don't think the accusation is: hey,

we need to stop the turnout of Democratic primaries.

Like, what would the Republican motivation be for that exactly?

This is one of those things where the water thing is the best example of it because it's been the most highly publicized and it is the most nothing.

Yeah.

If you haven't heard what actually goes on in this law,

you can't, what they're worried about, right, is like people saying, hey,

Democrats or Republicans gather near a line with a bunch of pizzas and are like, hey, guys, you know, we just want to tell you, like, we hope you vote Democrat, but here, you know, you guys want a slice of pizza, right?

The point is you don't have electioneering around the polls.

And this is, you know, something they were worried about.

Not about handing out water because people are dehydrating in the lines, but to cover that, right?

It says you can have a self-service receptacle.

So they can set up a table of water or a water cooler so that people can get water if they need it.

They're not trying to dehydrate people.

In addition to that, you can still have poll workers give you water.

In addition to that, you can still have third parties, Democratic operatives, can stand and give you water.

It just has to be 25 feet away from the line or 150 feet from the corner of the building.

So they can't go inside the building.

They can't go right up to the door.

That's about from Dallas to Chicago.

No, Pat.

Is that right?

No.

Do I have that?

I figure it's about right.

Feet is a difficult thing.

But here's the thing.

It's not even a complete first down in a football game.

It's less than nine yards away.

You can walk out of line nine yards away, these supposedly ridiculously long lines, and you can get your water.

You can come back to line.

No one's going to make you go to the back of the line again.

It's basically nothing.

Right.

It's just a way to scare people to believe Republicans are trying to stop minorities from voting.

Here's another thing that could happen.

You could bring your own freaking water.

That's right.

If you're that worried about

dehydrating while you're there, thirsting to death in line while you wait to vote, bring yourself a bottle of water.

Well, minorities can't.

Well, they can get it for free right outside, 25 feet away.

They can grab it before they get into line and hold it all the way to the door.

Again,

I love the fact that, you know, to a Democrat, a minority is so poor they can't even afford a bottle of water.

They can't even bring one with them.

I mean, they're not ID.

They can't get online.

They can't afford a bottle of water.

It's so ridiculous.

And they get away with it every single day.

It is getting worse, though, Pat, I think, in that they've always been able to get away with this and get a media cycle or two.

I think that's ever since we've been doing the show, going back decades now, they've always been able to control the early news cycles and always been able to do those types of things where people would start, you know, they would just adopt these things as truth and the media would report them.

However, I, maybe I'm romanticizing the past a little bit here, but I feel like, let's say the mid-2000s, the late 2000s, the early 2010s,

there would be this battle, right?

You'd have the misleading left-wing narrative that would come out.

And then everyone would kind of go to work and look at what they're saying and realize it doesn't make any sense.

And then we'd present the actual information.

And people would be like, oh, no wait that's not what that does and and right and yes there would still be people who believe the left-wing thing but generally speaking society would end generally on the idea that you know the truth is the truth the truth wins out and i don't know i don't think that's reality anymore i don't know if it's because it doesn't feel like it like it doesn't seem all these things are happening based on a bill that is there's ink and paper all you have to do is look at it and read it yeah there's no way to look at this as some terrible racist tragedy.

It's just nonsense.

As Jim Crow on steroids, there's absolutely nothing to that.

Nothing.

Nothing to it.

This is not a poll tax.

This is not, you know,

fire hoses being turned on African Americans as they try to go near the polls.

This is not, this is nothing like any of those horror shows.

This is

a bill that takes Georgia and moves the access to voting to a far more liberal direction, makes it much easier for people to access voting, makes the

absentee ballot still with no excuses.

You don't need an excuse to absentee ballot, to absentee vote.

Do you know that in New York, you do?

Of course.

You do need an excuse in New York.

And like, where?

Like,

how can they be saying these things?

They are so easily and provably false.

Right.

And they just keep going with it as if there's no other facts, that there's no other,

it's just like, well, what we've said it, so now it's true.

That is really what we're operating on right now.

I don't know how a society can continue to operate when that's the way things work because you can't.

I mean, it just winds up being a dictatorship.

And this is why they want HR1 so badly, because what they believe with HR1 is they're never going to lose another election.

So they're using this and they're bringing out all the big guns to try to manipulate people into thinking there's a crisis in

in the

the the access uh uh for for people to vote and they're saying okay well the republicans are so bad we need to do something national we need to make this nationalized we need the federal government to handle it because as you've seen the federal government is really good at handling things this makes a lot of sense

And so they want that to happen so badly.

It's a voter's right sort of bill that's already passed the House, and they need every single Democrat to vote for it, plus need to get rid of the filibuster or manipulate the filibuster in a way that can get it passed.

And they believe this is going to make it a lot easier for them to win elections in the future.

You know, this is what they're trying to do.

They're trying to create a crisis, and they're bringing in

the national pastime and

airlines and all these big companies to do it.

Yeah, they're doing a good job of it, too.

They're really good at it.

Even though.

Even though the Washington Post gave Joe Biden four Pinocchios when he talked about this last week.

The Washington Post.

Yeah, if you do look hard enough, you can find the truth in pretty much every mainstream publication.

Every one of them have said, yeah, well, this is the Times, Washington Post,

this isn't real.

But then they act as if

companies have to answer that.

I think it was CBS who ran a tweet this week in a story.

Here are like five ways you can help push back against the Georgia law.

It's like, well, what are you?

Are you a news organization?

A news organization writes stories to give you hypothetical ways to push back against the law?

You know, they're not the only ones.

The New York Times read a terrible piece trying to analyze this bill and giving people the complete opposite implications of what actually is in there.

I mean, it has been

a show,

which I would like to put a swear in front of it because

they are not even trying to tell you the truth now.

They're not even trying to hide the fact they're lying.

They're just saying it and repeating it.

It's really, it's really a scary thing.

All right, our sponsor, this half hour, if you brought into a timeshare at some point, it's a pretty good idea that you've like to be out of it by now.

The real question is, isn't so much as how, it's really when and how quickly you can do it.

Because the way to do it is clearly timeshare termination team.

Timeshare termination team is here to help frustrated timeshare owners like you understand how to legally get your timeshare contract and get it to the side.

you you don't need that anymore.

You need to get out of that contract.

And look,

you agreed to the contract.

There's legal ways to get out of it.

And if they've, you know, especially if you, if you're on one of these timeshares and they're not living up to their side of the bargain, which is very common, you have rights here as well.

They can safely, legally, and permanently get you out of this timeshare arrangement.

They have an in-house legal team that will do all the heavy lifting for you, so you don't have to.

Schedule a risk-free consultation and talk to one of their advisors about your timeshare.

Call timeshare termination team today to get the process started.

That's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program,

888727, B-E-C-K.

Your story here about bipartisan worry growing over the national debt, which now totals $85,210 per person.

I don't get the sense that anybody's worried about the national debt.

Yeah.

Do you have any sense that anybody's paying attention to it?

It does seem like Republicans have come out of their

debt hibernation and are now concerned about it a little bit.

Maybe a little.

I mean,

only because we've spent $6 trillion in, what, two months?

Or we're about to.

We did $2 trillion.

Then they're proposing the two more trillion and then the two more trillion after that.

And that does not include the $5.3 trillion during the last year of the pandemic under under the trump administration right so right uh this is still the 11 just 11 trillion-ish

uh wow it's incredible and and a lot of this too the difference of course being you know you're starting the pandemic we're in full shutdown mode right like those bills i there was i would say general bipartisan agreement that you had to do something when you're forcing people to close their businesses and telling them they're not allowed to go to work it's not fair

right i mean uh so as much as no one wants to spend money, at least it was understandable at the very beginning.

Now we're at the point where there's like, well, we need a new bridge.

Wait a minute.

Does that have to do with?

None of this has to do with COVID at all.

They're not even trying to hide it now.

They're just calling it an infrastructure plan.

They're calling the next one basically a mini

deal.

Yeah.

It seems to be basically what they're doing.

So they're going way, way overboard.

It does seem like, you know, like when

they were trying to go for $1.9 trillion,

there was the moderate group of Republicans, you know, the Susan Collins, the Mitt Romneys, who decided we're going to try.

You know, Joe Biden said he wanted to be bipartisan and negotiate these things.

So we're going to give it a shot.

And so they went in there and were like, how about, let's say, $700 billion?

I know you want $1.9 trillion.

Let's try $700 billion.

If we need more later, we could try to get more, but like, let's do something that's at least, you know, not every wish list item you've ever wanted.

And they wouldn't even basically take the meeting for $700 billion.

Jeez.

You know, which was, again, what Obama was asking for in 2009 was only $787 billion, what he was asking for.

And now they're like, well, we're not even going to take a meeting for $700 billion.

I don't get up for $700 billion on $700 billion.

It's true, though.

Unless it's in the trillions now, they don't worry about it.

And I don't think neither do the American people.

I think we've become so accustomed to hearing $700 billion, $800 800 billion, 900 billion.

And now we're starting to hear 1.9 trillion, 2 trillion, two more trillion after that, 4 trillion, 5.3 trillion.

We're starting to think,

you know, what's another 500 billion?

What's another 1 trillion?

Yeah, we can afford it.

Yeah.

I mean, what was the whole, the whole budget was like $4 trillion in 2019.

And now they're like, ah, well, what if we get $4 trillion in like a week?

We're just going to, hey, on top of the $11 trillion,

it's like it is just unending.

And this whole modern monetary theory thing we talked about going back into the election time, it was supposed to be this big controversy.

Everyone thought it was lunacy, right?

Every mainstream economist thought it was lunacy.

You know, it was Alexandria Casio-Cortez and Ilan Omar are out there saying we need this thing to go through.

And now we're just doing it.

Yeah.

We didn't really have a conversation about it.

We're just like, let's just try it.

Let's just print constantly and see what happens.

I mean, what if we don't have inflation?

What if it doesn't happen this time?

Like, that seems to be the theory here.

Like, let's give it a whirl.

You never know what's going to happen until you try.

Yeah.

You know, maybe we'll like it.

Maybe we'll like the idea.

Maybe everyone will get a good workout with their wheelbarrows full of cash for a loaf of bread.

It'll be fantastic.

This is the Glenback program.

In the age of smart technology, you'd think by now they would have invented a car that cares about you and how much of your money is going down the drain if it has any problems.

But unfortunately, at this point, no such luck.

If you haven't experienced it at any time lately, once your car's warranty expires and repairs are really, really expensive, it can be a terrible time for you, especially if something electronic goes.

Computer chips right now are through the roof.

The prices are going up and up.

And if you have to replace one of those, you probably just, you know, just sell the car for scrap.

That's basically where you are at that point.

Unless you have car shield.

When you're covered covered by Car Shield, you don't have to worry about any of that.

From the time that you have the problem until the time it's resolved, Car Shield will take care of everything, including dealing with the mechanic, so you don't have to.

Don't forget to check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern Time,

right before the Glenn Beck program, or anywhere you get your podcast.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glen Back Program, 888727B ECK.

I'm amazed at this Georgia law and the things they are saying are in it, which just, you know, so much of it is just not true at all.

But the voter ID thing has sort of amazed me, maybe even more than normal.

How do you vote if you're in Georgia?

If you're voting absentee, which again is no excuse.

You don't need to come up with an excuse for it.

You just do it whenever you want.

What form of identification do you need to have?

Previous to this, they had signature matching, right?

Which is obviously, if you've ever paid for anything with a credit card, a BS process, right?

You just, I don't even try to sign my name on most of the credit card receipts because it's just

you write a squiggly line and they've never once said, hey, wait a minute, that's that doesn't look like your signature in this past.

Sir,

I mean, half the time your card is in a machine.

They're not even looking at the back of it.

Yeah.

They have no idea.

They don't care.

Signature matching is a really,

first of all, obviously, you can have forgeries very easily.

Secondly, it's a time-consuming process.

And third of all, it's not at all reliable.

It's not reliable for a human eye to look at a couple of signatures.

And even if you had handwriting experts, it wouldn't be particularly reliable.

And

signatures are out there.

They can be traced.

They can be practiced.

Again, like, is this a massive problem that people are faking signatures?

No.

However, on the other side of it, it's just a pain in the butt for the state.

It's a lot of work and it has no, it doesn't work well.

So the idea, of course, has been, well, what if they just write their driver's license number on the form, right?

Like that will let us know, okay, this is the person, you know, that's voting.

We have some way of lining this up.

That's the idea.

Now, obviously that could easily be forged too, but.

Okay, we'll just go along with it for now.

So this has been seen as this thing to stop minorities from voting.

Now, of course, minorities have IDs.

This is a ridiculous thing.

The left seems to think black people are incapable of getting driver's license.

It's racism.

It really is straight out racism.

It is.

It's just them.

It's the left saying you can't do these things.

Hispanics are not capable of the same things white people are doing.

Right.

That's ridiculous.

Now, they try to guise it in saying it's systemic, but like, it's not systemic.

People,

they have driver's licenses.

So when people, of course, in the past have said, well, this is a racist thing, there have been steps put in place to deal with these ridiculous complaints that are very, very minor in their scope.

So this is what the law actually talks about.

When you have the

absentee ballot, you have to put your driver's license and date of birth in the space provided on the outer envelope.

If the electorate does not have a Georgia's driver's license or state identification card, so the second one is a state identification card.

This is a state identification card that anyone can get that maybe doesn't drive, right?

Maybe they're in the city, they're using Uber and Lyft all the time, they don't have a driver's license, they don't care about it.

We knew people in New York who were like this, they don't bother because of the way the city is and they never leave the city.

So, okay, they don't have

a driver's license, they can get a state ID card, and that card is free.

Okay, so that would be the number two way of voting.

Now, this law goes further further than that and says, what if you don't have a driver's license and you don't have a state ID, which is free, how would you vote?

You could put, write your last four digits of your social security number on the envelope.

Okay.

Now,

now we're on step three.

Now, if you have a social security number,

that should be pretty easy.

Okay.

We have to do this all the time with a million, you know, forms online with your bank, whatever it is.

You write in the four last four digits of of social.

All U.S.

citizens have

social security numbers.

All U.S.

citizens.

You're noticing one of the complaints from the left.

Yeah.

You almost have to be a U.S.

citizen to vote.

Almost have to be.

That would be a real problem.

Now, if the elector does not have a Georgia's license

or a social security number, okay.

Now, again, your complaint is valid here.

Why wouldn't you have a social security number and still be a legal voter?

But maybe there's some little carb out there.

If you don't have that, you could also write on the outside of the the envelope and place one of the forms of identification set forth in another section of the code.

Okay, so let's go to that section of the code.

A valid U.S.

passport.

So now we are at license, ID card, social security number, or passport.

Okay, but that's not it.

Also, you could have a valid employee identification card with a photo issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S.

government, this state, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or any other entity of the state.

So if you have any connection to a government job and you just have a regular, your government photo ID,

now, of course, you could be illegal probably doing that, but you could vote with that in this,

it would count as a valid identification.

Can I use my blockbuster video card?

You can.

My library card.

If I don't have a blockbuster card anymore, can I use my library card?

Probably.

People are like, oh, why did you just throw out that blockbuster card?

There's none left.

I don't care.

I'm keeping it.

And now I know why.

Now it comes in handy, right?

Now, you could also have, Pat, a valid tribal identification card with a photograph.

Okay.

What if they locked up

the whole

Cherokee Nation

and put them on that reservation?

Yeah.

You know, took away my way of life.

Wait, your way of life?

Yeah, the tomahawk and the, you know, the bow and the knife.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What if they took away my native tongue

and then taught their English to my young?

Then how do I vote?

This song has no life outside of this program.

You are the only person keeping it alive, the only people who remember.

And to Paul Revere, you're welcome.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

All right.

Then we have, so we've gone through all of this.

I've lost count of how many actual IDs because the blockbuster videos have been inserted, but I've lost count of the total.

But then you can have a current utility bill.

No.

Yep.

A bank statement.

That's easier than a blockbuster video.

You don't need to be a citizen to get a utility bill.

Gosh.

A bank statement.

A government check.

How many times have we found out that they've been sending to people who are not legal voters government checks?

Many.

A paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address.

Good gosh.

All of this can be done.

All it means is you, you know what?

It's all about like

they want it to be so easy that there's no thought put in.

Like they want to, they, their ideal system is

they send millions and millions of ballots straight out to everybody's home.

Whoever's there or whoever gets a hold of that ballot picks it up, checks the box near the letter D,

and then sends it back in whether the voter even knows it's happening or not.

And that's what the system that they want.

By the way, if you don't have any of this, I should point out, if if you don't have any of these things, you can still cast a provisional ballot and prove it later.

Good golly.

All of this is the new Georgia law.

Yeah, some of it was existing law.

Okay.

That's combined.

Like they just refer to an existing law that says here's the forms of ID.

But those forms of ID are

all valid.

So this is voter suppression.

I mean, I can't.

Believable.

You try to change your password on a website.

You got to come up with more information than this.

For sure.

Yeah, you do.

And

this is not voter suppression.

I'm sure.

You know what?

There should be some effort going into being a voter.

Yeah.

There should.

You should have to be a citizen and make sure you can prove it.

If you say you're a citizen, you should be able to prove it.

All right.

Let me see something more than your utility bill because everybody has a utility bill.

I mean, if you're an illegal alien, you can have a utility bill.

I, you,

there should be some effort going into voting.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's an important, it's an important part of being an American.

Yeah.

It's.

You can't even show your stinking ID.

Come on.

Do you know?

I spent multiple years trying to cancel my New Jersey Easy Pass.

I remember that, yeah.

Because they kept taking money out of my account multiple years after I lived in the state

over and over and over and over and over again because they kept having this like, I think it was like a $1 a month charge.

But then

whenever that $1 a month would run out, they'd put more money on your account automatically.

I couldn't stop them from doing it.

I had to fax them, like identification and bills, proving my

area of residence.

It took me, I almost had to get a lawyer involved.

And it was partially at the end.

I was just so pissed off.

It was several years.

It was several years.

We lived in Texas for four or five years before I got that thing canceled.

And I still wake up every morning wondering whether there will be a charge from New Jersey on my crack

it's haunted me

that was

that's arduous it should not be arduous right you should be able if you want to vote even if you're an idiot and want to vote for the dumb people in Washington DC right now on the left you should still be able to do it right like you should still be able to vote It shouldn't be ridiculous.

It shouldn't be, you know, you have to go through a million hurdles, but you shouldn't.

But an ID is not ridiculous.

And how about that?

And asking for the ballot is not ridiculous.

No, it's not.

Saying, you know what, I'm not going to make it to the polls this year.

Can you mail me the ballot?

Is not a ridiculous ballot.

Especially when you don't even need to make an excuse.

No.

In New York, you do.

In Georgia, you don't.

You don't.

All you have to say is, yeah, I'd like a ballot.

And they'll send you one.

That's not difficult.

No, it's not difficult at all.

It's just, this is just a giant narrative to push through some of the biggest Democratic Democratic wish list items of the last century.

And the bill has already passed the House.

They've got 50 votes in the Senate.

All they have to do is basically say and get Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema on board to say, hey,

we're going to get rid of this filibuster.

And if they get rid of that, they can pass this voting law.

And they believe they will never lose another federal election.

And very few state ones, too.

And they might be right.

I mean,

I don't know how it's constitutional, Pat.

I'd love to get your thoughts on that because the Constitution pretty clearly designates how a lot of these elections are supposed to happen.

I don't know how you can get the federal government.

I don't know how you do it federally, like they're trying to do.

They're probably just trying to figure out some legal way around it.

But there isn't one.

I mean, literally, this would wind up with the Supreme Court.

Yeah.

And the Supreme Court would have to say it's unconstitutional.

I mean,

they may not, but they should.

You have to say it.

Of course, this is such a,

I mean, who knows?

Who knows which way the Supreme Court would go at this point with Roberts?

But you should have, even without Roberts, five votes.

You should, in theory.

You should.

Now, I don't know.

Kavanaugh, I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know.

There's a lot of I don't knows out there.

Scary.

Yeah, it's scary, but that's how close we are to losing this wonderful experiment we've had for the last couple hundred years.

We keep coming down to these 5-4 decisions on things that should not even be close.

Yeah.

Should not even be close.

Triple 8-7-2-7-B-E-C-K.

More patent stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I would like to just get away from all the visual stuff that we're dealing with and just listen to something, something great,

a little podcast or an audio book.

Whatever it is you're listening to, you want to have good, clear sound, but also want to be comfortable while listening.

And actually, that's why we all use Raycons around here.

Actually, I have my Raycons right here.

They're very easy.

They're very small.

And they fit in your ears unlike the annoying Apple ones that dangle below your ears.

They fit right into your ears smooth.

And so you could put your head down on a pillow and really easily go to sleep listening to an audiobook and it's not going to like screw your ear up.

You know what I mean?

They fit flat right against your ear.

It's really cool.

The sound is incredible and they cost way, way less than Apple Earbuds or some of these other brands.

Sound quality is fantastic.

You can put them up against the competition any day of the week.

And,

you know, look, you don't have the stupid sticks dangling from your ears for no reason.

The Glenn Beck Program.

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

By the way,

Glenn had a family emergency come up right before the show.

We don't even know exactly what it was, but we would appreciate your thoughts and your prayers for him and his family today.

Triple 8-727-BECK,

as we try to figure out

what the problem is with Georgia's new voting law that expanded voting rights for everybody,

including minorities, including blacks and Hispanics.

They expanded the

early voting for everybody.

They did say that campaign workers can't distribute water to people in line to vote.

But that's not unusual.

Any of the poll workers can certainly distribute water if they want to, or you could bring water yourself, which I know is asking a lot of people.

Because

who can afford a bottle of water?

Yeah.

Only the elite.

Only the very, very,

very elite.

And it all comes down to the way that they're utilizing these big companies.

I mean, the Major League Baseball thing is the highest profile right now as they've pulled out of the all-star game in the draft.

Like people were really excited about that MLB draft that was apparently happening in Atlanta.

Was that in Atlanta too?

The Major League Baseball draft?

I guess, yeah, I guess.

And that's already been pulled.

It's been pulled.

Okay.

But it's like, well, I don't know if you know this, but like the Braves still play there.

Yeah.

Why would it matter to take an all-star game out that, by the way, they're trying to figure out whether they should even continue it.

People don't want to watch it.

They can't get anybody to pay attention to it.

This has been a situation through all the sports with the All-Star Games.

And so they pull that out.

They pull the draft out that no one cares about in baseball.

I mean, unless you happen to have a person you know in it.

like 89 rounds or something.

It's like that thing.

They've drafted me last year.

They did.

Congratulations, man.

In the 83rd round.

Yeah, Milwaukee Brewer.

Yes.

Congratulations to Patrick.

Thank you.

But it's like that all goes on, and they have a team playing 81 home games in Georgia.

You know, like they have, not to mention, play teams all over the country in states with more restrictive laws than Georgia.

They are a company that does all sorts of business overseas with governments that believe in far less democracy than we do here.

Yeah.

I love the thing now about,

so are you going to pull the Olympics out of China as well?

Are you going to ask the U.S.

Olympic Committee to pull the U.S.

team out of China since they have more restrictive laws than Georgia does?

It's just none of this is real.

It's not real.

It's hard to even have a logical conversation about it because it's so fake.

It's just all

stupid.

Amazing.

First of all, here's an uncomfortable question for you.

How many times a day would you say that you pick up your phone and scroll through Facebook for like 10 minutes?

If you're being honest, it's probably not zero.

In fact, it's probably several times.

No judgment here.

I know it's difficult to see all those food pictures.

You got to get to them.

You got to know.

What did that next person eat?

I don't know.

But you have the time.

If you're doing that every day, you have the time to call American Financing.

If you're paying four percent or more on your mortgage, you're overpaying, and you can get that credit card debt, which is way more than four percent, I'm sure.

Uh, you can get rid of that as well.

What kind of percentage are they charging you?

Uh, well, look, if you are a homeowner, you can solve these problems pretty easily by refinancing your mortgage.

And the people at American Financing are the ones that can walk you through what that might look like.

They're not in it for the bank, they're in it for you, and they're going to be giving you the kind of deal that can save you hundreds of dollars a month or maybe even a thousand.

Call them today, American Financing, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Hey, it's Hunter Biden Memoir Week, which is exciting.

Because what an upstanding citizen.

I want to hear all about what he's been doing.

I really do.

And so we'll get into some of that.

He talked us 60 minutes over the weekend.

Fascinating, in a way.

That and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

All right.

Well, I'm going to tell you about our sponsor.

It is Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, of course, is

something that Glenn has used for a long time.

This is not a new game, he's not new to this game for Relief Factor.

It's one of those things where he had constant pain, constant pain.

And it was an issue that he was dealing with all the time.

And he would go and he'd try to do basic things.

He's a big painter, if you don't know that.

And he would go to paint.

You know, it's not like a painting is not like a triathlon.

You know what I mean?

It's just holding a brush and going back and forth.

He couldn't even do things like that.

He would go to his ranch, where he would, you know, we always talk about Glenn as a fake rancher because he goes there and he does like the outdoorsy thing for the 12 minutes until he gets bored with it

and then goes back in the house and watches Netflix.

But he couldn't even get through that period.

Relief Factor changed all that.

He was miserable with his back pain and such beforehand, and now he's turned that around.

Uh, you can do that too if you have pain.

You could do that as well.

Relief Factor is not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of people who try it go on to order more.

You can order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

ReliefFactor.com or 800-500-8384 for Relief Factor.

Ending citizen Hunter Biden was interviewed on 60 Minutes Over the Weekend.

I can't believe he's doing press.

It seems ill-advised, Pat.

Doesn't it, though?

Yeah.

Hide.

They're hiding your dad.

He's the president of the United States.

Why are you out in the press?

We can't get him to do a friggin' press conference.

We're getting stuff from Hunter.

Yeah.

And

he's the surviving son that Joe Biden never talks about.

It's always about Bo.

And

so

it's kind of sad in a way,

although I think he got himself into a lot of this stuff.

But

he was talking about the laptop over the weekend on 60 Minutes.

And, you know, it just may be that that was hacked by

Russians or

Chinese or Mongolians.

I'm not sure who hacked it, but somebody might have hacked it.

Here's what he was talking about.

It's on 60 Minutes.

Was that your laptop?

For real.

I don't know.

I know, but you know that's not.

I don't know.

You really don't know.

Okay.

What?

You don't know.

Yes or no.

I don't have any idea.

I have no idea.

So it could have been yours.

Of course, certainly.

There could be a laptop.

Certainly.

Yeah, it might be.

It could be that I was hacked.

It could be that

it was Russian intelligence.

It could be that it was stolen from

aliens.

Aliens, yeah.

It could have easily been aliens.

It could easily, easily have been Plutonians.

Yeah.

Or Martians.

I don't know which.

Someone from Jupiterians, maybe?

Planet Zarkon.

Saturnites.

Could have been Zarkon.

Zarkonians, I think, is what they like to be called.

Well, I'm sorry.

From the planet Zarkon.

I was going to say Zarkon 5.

Oh, okay.

They just call them people from Zarkon.

They don't like the Zarkonians.

There's a long-term war in the solar system.

Long story short,

it could have been a liar.

What?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Wait, what?

Oh, that was a surprise.

That came out of nowhere.

The laptops come and go.

I don't know.

Where are all my laptops?

It could be anywhere.

I was walking down the street the other day, bumped into a giant stack of my own laptops.

They were just all over the streets.

How did they get there?

Russian intelligence?

I don't know.

It could have been anything.

This is one of the worst answers.

And this is something he's had months to prepare for.

Yeah.

And this is the best you could do is maybe it was.

Maybe it was.

I don't know.

Of course, it could be.

I went into a swimming pool the other day.

It was filled with my laptops.

This is a giant swimming pool of old laptops.

I don't know how they got there.

I have so many laptops.

Russian hacking.

Yeah, Russian hacking.

Could be Russian hacking.

Could be people from Zarkon.

Could be Zarkonians.

We don't know.

We don't know.

I mean, we're Canadians.

How the damn Canadians could have done this.

I don't know.

I don't know, man.

All I know is I go through eight to ten laptops a day and I don't know where they go.

They just all disappear and go into

various IT people's hands.

Who knows how to do it?

How did I get born to an IT person?

I just leave it there.

Could it be mine?

Yes.

I don't know.

I don't know.

They can fix laptops.

I was just turning them over.

I thought it was like a hazardous substance.

Like a toxic sludge.

The geek squad just ate them.

That's what I thought they did.

That's what I thought.

I thought Jeff Fisher worked there, and he just ate them when they came in.

They're so crunchy.

I mean,

who could resist?

I mean, part of us, I do appreciate the fact that the question was asked, and I should sort of lead with that.

However, I will say.

And I argued this during the campaign.

I can understand why you would be skeptical, especially if you're in the media, of like Rudy Giuliani coming out with a found laptop a week before an election.

I can understand why there'd be skepticism on a story like that.

In fact, the storyline of how it got to the IT person that was left there, and then it like, it all seemed very questionable.

All of that being said,

no one ever asked Hunter Biden whether it was his laptop before the election.

They didn't even say like, look, okay, I can understand you're not going to confirm or deny every salacious detail here, but can you tell us, did you drop off a laptop at this place?

I mean, that's a totally legitimate question that if he says no to it, at least you'd say, okay, well, he's denying it completely.

They didn't even get him on the record with a denial.

Yeah.

They didn't, all they said was, we can't believe these tactics.

They kept going back to that same, well, all these tactics.

They're just trying to make a scandal right before the election.

Yeah, okay, but did you drop it off with this guy at this address?

Were you ever the one that just happens to be a couple miles from the train station?

You'd be getting off all the time?

The one with all of your emails in it?

Right.

Like they keep quoting your emails.

How, how do they, how do they do that?

How do they get the video of you doing things?

Canadians.

Deep fake?

Well, I think the Canadians were working with the Russians.

And the Mexicans, and they went after my laptop and put a whole bunch of fake emails in there.

Hacked them right into it.

I mean, I,

it's inexplicable.

And there's no, I mean, the follow-up of like, could it be yours?

Well, how about, you know, look, they say you dropped off a laptop.

Forget whether this is your laptop or not.

Did you drop one off at this place, at this address, with this phone number and this business name?

Might have been a good question.

Like, can we get?

Yeah.

And obviously, of course, the real reason he's not answering it is because he did.

And it was his laptop.

And the fact that they actually were banning the New York Post's Post's Twitter account over a story that obviously, when you watch this interview, was true.

I mean, we thought it was true before, but obviously, this was his laptop.

These things were on his laptop.

And they just decided to ignore it so that at the end of the day, Donald Trump would not be president anymore.

I'm not a person who always says that, but like, it's clear they saw a narrative from 2016.

And

I read enough, it's my job to read the left-wing media so you don't have to.

And I read enough left-wing media to see they had constant complaints for the four years of the Donald Trump presidency that they believed, again, this is insane, but I'm going to lay it out for you.

They believe they were too tough on Hillary Clinton in the campaign.

They believe they gave too much oxygen to various scandals like the email scandal.

And they believe the reason Hillary Clinton lost was kind of their fault because they decided to be, in their view, honest and cover these emerging scandals that were being talked about and that were out there, like the email scandal.

And so they believe this time we can't let that happen again.

And some of them talked about it outwardly.

That like

when the right comes up with their scandal last minute, we need to ignore it because last time we did it and look what happened.

That is the way they viewed 2016.

So in 2020, when this came up,

they did exactly what they said they were going to do for four years.

Completely ignore it and not even try to vet whether it was a real scandal or not.

And now here we are a year after, or six months after the election, and

they are now admitting that they should have been asking those questions.

Why are they asking them now?

Why are they bothering with it now?

Now that the guy's already president of the United States, now you're going to ask the question about the laptop?

They were so invested in removing Donald Trump with any means necessary that they just intentionally ignored this.

They did.

They talked about it.

They admitted it.

And they executed

that way of doing business

without shame,

without shame.

And here we see that obviously the ramifications of that is it worked.

Donald Trump isn't president anymore.

So you know that that's going to be their plan every time now.

You got to believe it.

They're just going to ignore any scandal that is coming from the left.

They just won't pay any attention to it.

They won't give it any oxygen.

It did work this time.

It's hard to argue with that.

They didn't talk about Hunter Biden at all.

In fact, they made it a conspiracy theory, if you believed anything was wrong with him, that he did anything wrong in Ukraine or China or this laptop thing.

If you believe any of it, it was just a big conspiracy theory.

Well, now all of a sudden they're starting to look into some of it, and they're finding out that the guy's a bald-faced liar

and a drug addict who

maybe he doesn't remember because he was so drug-addled.

Maybe, maybe he doesn't know because he was so wiped out on drugs.

He admitted that he relapsed as late as during the campaign last year.

During the campaign.

And this sucks, man.

I mean, this is a tough thing for anybody to deal with.

And I'm sure it is.

I'm sure it's hard for Joe Biden to deal with.

His son is a disaster.

His son is a disaster, and that's not easy to deal with.

But it is easy for the media to deal with something like this.

I mean, this is a guy who is returning rental cars with lines of drugs still on the dashboard.

On it.

Again, do your drugs when you rent a car.

Do all the drugs.

You left a line or two for the nice rental company people.

Like a tip?

Yeah, like a tip.

Yeah, I left you.

Snort whatever's on the cashboard.

There's a couple lines of Coke there, so enjoy that, won't you?

He's had a really tough time.

He's been impregnating strippers all around the nation.

Exactly.

He's been on the impregnate stripper tour.

He's been involved with his, you know, with his brother's widow.

Oh, my gosh.

And his brother's widow's sister, and then the stripper in Arkansas with the baby.

Look,

family stuff can be really difficult.

And, you know, they've had a kid die.

There really is a rough road here for

the Biden family over the years.

I mean, this has been a really rough, bumpy, ugly road.

And it's not about, even though at times we may mock Hunter Biden, it's really not about that.

It's about the media holding them responsible for their criminal actions.

Did they occur?

We don't know because no one asks the questions.

You know, you could go through Peter Schweizer's book and see a lot of things that I would call criminal.

And they're all documented.

Bunch of things.

Yeah.

And not just with Hunter, but like the whole family.

Whole family.

His brother is another big one in that family.

His brother, brother, his daughter.

Yeah, it's all over the place in that family.

There's lots of corruption.

They've been using power in ways that I don't feel comfortable with for a very long time.

But that is

the media's job is to ask those questions and not wait till April.

You don't ask the question in April.

I mean, it's better than not asking it at all, I suppose.

But you don't wait till April.

This came out before the election.

This should have been talked about, and everybody on earth should have been aware of whether this was Hunter Biden's laptop or not and everything that was on it.

And just let the American people decide then.

That would have been nice.

Yeah.

If the American people had the information and they were able to decide whether or not it mattered to them.

But that's the problem.

They chose wrong last time.

Yeah.

And we can't let them choose again because they chose wrong last time.

That's the way they view this.

And

it's not a way to get you real information.

I'll tell you that.

All right.

Let's talk to you about our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.

There's nothing I love paying more than for phone service than you need to.

I know that's a huge, people just love doing it.

You know, it's just like, just like when you have like 12, 15, 18 laptops a day just thrown into a swimming pool.

People just love to pay more for, of course, their cell phone service.

It wasn't that long ago.

You didn't really have much of a choice, honestly.

There was the big few companies.

They had all the cell phone towers.

And if you decided to go with something like, you know, Bob's local cell phone service, you were probably going to get a pair of tin cans and string.

But it's not like that anymore.

These days, everyone's on the same towers, so you have more options, and the best among these options is Patriot Mobile.

Not only is it cheaper, but when you make the switch, a portion of your bill goes to conservative causes, and none of it goes to Hunter Biden's pocketbook or his laptops or his family corruption scam.

This month, you can get free premiere activation where they set up the phone for you, and they get you a special gift with the code BEC.

Use the code BEC to get the special gift, the same service, a lot lower price, and the values you believe in.

Station ID.

It's Patton Stu for Glenn.

I'm the Glenn Beck program, 888-727BECK.

Something I know you love is high-speed rail, Stu.

I think you're going to be

happy to hear that the federal government's serious about spending some more money on high-speed rail,

and Texas could be among the beneficiaries.

The beneficiaries is an interesting framing of this.

Isn't it, though?

Isn't it?

The recent interest in investing in bullet trains capable of going 200 miles per hour or faster, because I can't imagine any kind of vehicle going faster than 200.

No, you wouldn't.

Like something that, I don't know, went through the air at like five

grounds.

Yeah, off the ground.

Oh, Pat wants a floating.

It doesn't float.

It actually source.

Source?

Yeah, yeah.

It's like a jet speeds.

What is it going to be like a bird?

You're going to be a bird in the sky flying all over the place.

Yeah.

How would you?

Yeah, isn't that weird?

We already have high-speed travel.

It's called an airplane.

By the way, it's cheaper, a lot of times.

It's cheaper than

high-speed rail where it it does exist.

And it goes 300 miles per hour slower than the airplane.

Yes, I've noticed that as well.

Okay, so you pay more and you get there in a longer period of time.

It's a trade-off, really, because you pay more, but you get less.

Which one do you go with there?

I don't know.

The good thing, though, is I like how it stops all traffic in hundreds of points across the route.

That's really beneficial.

And like, let's just say that a new population center pops up.

You can't get people access to it.

You know, that's a really nice benefit of it as well.

Well, unless you spend hundreds of billions of dollars to get them access to that new place.

Yeah, you could do that, and that's what they're going to do.

And with a plane, you could just, of course, build a big

patch of

asphalt in the middle of a field.

You could.

And we have.

And we have all over the country.

You can do that with a plane.

But you know what?

Let's go back because you know what was great?

Late 1800s.

It was fantastic.

What a great time.

That doesn't make any sense.

I don't know why we're so envious of Japan's system.

Do you know that they've got bullet terrains that go 200 miles an hour?

So what?

Yeah.

Do you know we have planes that go 500 miles an hour?

You know that?

That's faster.

Does anyone understand that that's

a lot faster?

So we both lived in an area of the country, the only place in the country where terrain travel really makes even the most moderate amount of sense.

And it's only because it's a very old place in the Northeast.

And they built them back at a time where they didn't have other types of transportation that were so easily accessible.

But they are already there, so they continue to run them.

And I used to take the train in every day.

First of all, it sucks.

Okay.

It's not a fun experience.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Like, people think this, they watched Polar Express once and they think it's fun.

It's not fun.

Tom Hanks isn't there.

He never shows up.

He never grants wishes.

That's disappointing.

It's not.

It really isn't fun.

And you don't wind up at the North Pole either.

No, no.

You wind up at Penn Station and you're like, wait, I don't want to be here.

No, it's terrible.

And, you know, it's not this like romantic experience.

And people are like, oh, man, imagine you're just taking a train across the country and seeing all that scenery.

Yeah, that sucks.

That's dumb.

You shouldn't do that.

It goes through the worst parts of town.

It goes to the worst parts of everywhere.

It goes to the worst parts of town.

And it also, you're going, when when it is going 200 miles an hour, you can't see any scenery.

Now, it doesn't ever go 200 miles an hour.

We should be clear.

They built the Acela on existing lines, which is, again, the only reason it even came close to making sense.

And still, like, it goes top speed for like 10 miles on the route between Boston and Washington.

You know, and this is the issue with high-speed rail.

The biggest issue about high-speed rail is all the people advocating for it live in this corridor.

This New York to Washington corridor.

Yeah.

And so they're constantly on the train between media visits and and and congress they're going back and forth and back and forth obviously as everyone knows joe biden took amtrak every day uh back to delaware and now he's president so now trains are trains are an ancient technology they they don't work i mean this is the same thing with with um with light rail which is another thing that cities love to do we're going to build light rail and we're going to build it all over the place and people are going to love it they're going to riot like like crazy and as with without exception without exception these plate these light rail systems hemorrhage money and cost tons of people who never ride them a lot of money because they're all subsidized and then people who are driving on the other side of the city and never even come close to a station that's a for

light rail they wind up paying for the you know young professional who wants to go out drinking until 2 a.m and doesn't want to have to get an uber now of course, remember, light rail was dumb forever.

Now, with Uber, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Yeah.

And they're going to continue to pour money into it on this idea that it's going to help the climate, which it is not.

It doesn't help the climate.

It doesn't do any of the things promised.

You mean with the exception of DART, right?

The Dallas area of rapid transit, which I saw three people on it in the last probably six months.

Combined.

Combined.

Not on one train.

No, not on one train.

That would be ridiculous.

That would be ridiculous.

Come on.

This is the Glenback program.

So, your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food.

They'll eat whatever they can get their hands on or paws on.

But your dog's body does understand that difference.

When you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, his body is telling him that everything he's eating is dead because kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life.

The dog's body knows that it's missing out on key things things that it needs, like vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, all those fancy things that are healthy and I never probably eat.

But it's stuff you need to be healthy and happier, so your dog needs it as well.

A lot of cases, this is Glenn's dog, Uno, just wouldn't want to eat anything at all, which is strange because it's a very scary dog.

The guy

we've talked about before, Dennis Black, he's a doctor.

He decided to take this problem on and created a product called Rough Greens.

It's not a dog food.

It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of the dog food, and the dogs go crazy for it.

They want to eat,

they're getting all the healthy stuff that they actually need.

Check it out.

So looking at this vaccine situation in Florida has been fascinating to watch.

60 Minutes ran a big expose.

And it's clear now the media has decided Ron DeSantis is a frontrunner for president in 2024.

This is now,

they're just doing anything they can to sink this guy at this point.

They've decided they need to make sure they take him down before he can get started.

And you look at DeSantis, who's a guy who was elected in very narrow election in Florida, very close election, and has seemingly done really well.

I mean, it's really hard to look at his performance and say anything other than that.

They kept things largely open.

They sort of led the country.

And, you know,

we should be clear here.

They didn't exactly leave.

I think they had a mass mandate, but they lifted it in September where Took Texas just did it, you know, a couple weeks ago.

You know,

they leaned freedom, let's put it that way.

They leaned freedom when dealing with the coronavirus.

And with a very elderly population, one of the oldest populations in America, finished sort of a middle of the pack.

for

COVID results as far as deaths per million and many other measures, which is impressive.

I mean, I remember when Florida first started having an outbreak early on in Miami and other areas, and it it was thought to be like, this is going to be really bad because they do have an older population.

And if this starts spreading like crazy, the most vulnerable people are going to be very vulnerable.

Well, it didn't wind up turning out that way.

And Florida performed really well.

And DeSantis, you know, I've heard him

discussed as a professionalized Trump, right?

Where he does a lot of the things Trump does.

But, you know, Donald Trump, for all the things he does really well, was also very interested in like calling people on msnbc ugly right like that's not what ron desantis does he's he's he's he loves mixing it up with the media he goes back and forth with them all the time but it's usually more about issues rather than you know people's appearances and and the sort of stuff that like trump as an entertainer trump as a media personality got into a lot people like desantis because he brings a lot of the same policies a lot of the same things to the table but he doesn't he doesn't go down those those sort of outlier role roads that would make that made a lot of even trump voters uncomfortable A lot of the tweeting.

Yeah,

he doesn't participate in,

and it's not like he's like understated.

DeSantis likes to mix it up, but he usually is doing it based on issues of governance.

Where Trump, you know, a lot of times obviously was much more interested or, you know, as interested in just mixing it up and fighting with the media.

You know, DeSantis likes him fighting with the media, but he's usually doing it over something, some sort of policy thing.

So this happened with 60 Minutes over the weekend.

Let me give you this clip.

This is they're trying to figure out basically

why Ron DeSantis

used Publix, which is a big grocery store chain in Florida, as a distribution center for the vaccine.

Now, if you've ever lived in Florida, this would strike you as like super obvious.

Like there's a Publix on every corner of every street.

In between, if you are on a residential street and there's six houses on it, the last lot is filled with a Publix.

That's how it works in Florida.

Which is a grocery store, right?

It's a grocery store.

Yeah.

It's like a Kroger

or Albertson's.

Yep.

It's just really dominant in Florida.

Really dominant in Florida.

Very well known for their very good sub-sandwiches that certainly didn't add to my weight gain while living in Florida.

And there's one right across the corner from 970 WFLA, our Tampa affiliate.

And we go there.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's mostly what's responsible for Jeffy's size:

the

proximity of that Publix to 970 WFLA.

So here is a 60 Minutes with a.

I mean, they dug deep on this one.

We can't get Hunter Biden to be asked a question about his laptop before the election, but they dug deep into this Ron DeSantis Publix controversy this weekend.

Let's listen.

So why did the governor choose Publix?

Campaign finance reports obtained by 60 Minutes show that weeks before the governor's announcement, Publix donated $100,000 to his political action committee

friends of Ron DeSantis.

Oh my gosh.

Julie Jenkins Fancelli, heiress to the Publix fortune, has given $55,000 to the governor's pack in the past.

And in November, Fancelli's brother-in-law, Hoyt R.

Barnett, a retired Publix executive, donated $25,000.

Oh, my God.

Publix did not respond to our request for comment about the donations.

Governor DeSantis is up for re-election next year.

I imagine Governor DeSantis' office would say, look, we privatize the rollout because it's more efficient and it works better.

It hasn't worked better for people of color.

That's true.

Before, I could call the public health director.

She would answer my calls.

But now,

if I want to get my constituents information about how to get this vaccine, I have to call a lobbyist from Publix.

That makes no sense.

They're not accountable to the public.

Distributing vaccines is lucrative.

Under federal guidelines, Publix, like any other private company, can charge Medicare $40 a shot to administer the vaccine.

Okay, there is so much packed into that clip.

It could take us a whole show to go through.

First of all, the idea that Ron DeSantis is

choosing how to distribute the vaccine based on $100,000 of donations

split over multiple years.

Come on.

Like, this

is insanity.

Why on earth would he care about that?

It's $100 million.

Maybe that's influencing him a little bit, but $100,000?

Big deal.

Now, of course, and this has been talked about by public health officials for a very long time, in that if you put...

If you put the vaccine availability in places that people are familiar with and go to often anyway, they're more likely to get it.

Right.

Like if you need to go to the, what did he say?

Oh, before I could go to the public health director and they'd answer my calls.

Well,

not mine.

Right.

I've never talked to a public health director before.

It's much easier.

Publix is much more accountable to me than a public health director.

They don't know who I am.

I go to Publix.

I go and I buy food there.

They have to keep their customers happy.

They are very accountable to the people.

And people are in there all the time, are going to see signs for, hey, you can get the vaccine here.

I mean, you know, every year when the flu vaccine, and I'm somebody who gets the flu vaccine typically, usually what happens is I'm in CVS and I see this sign.

I'm like, oh yeah, I was supposed to get that.

I might as well get it now.

That's usually how I get it.

Because I'm just there.

And I'm like, I remember that it's there.

And so I go and get the flu vaccine.

Now, again, this is something that is non-controversial.

CVS is distributing the vaccines for COVID all across the country.

Walgreens is doing it.

Why are they doing it that way?

Well, people go into those places.

It's not like trying to, like, if you have to file a government form, like to change your address or

to

the typical stuff that you have to go to town hall for,

even sometimes to register to vote or one of those things, it's much more arduous than going to the place you go to all the time.

I never know where to go.

You go in the town hall.

There's all these different buildings.

None of it's self-explanatory.

It's always a difficult process to deal with government.

So instead, they put them in Walgreens.

You just walk up there and say, hey, you know, my appointments today, get the shot, get some, you know, hostess products and walk out because those are healthy.

So

completely understandable and happening all over the nation.

Florida is not the only one that is distributing vaccine this way in major consumer centers.

That's what the concept is.

Go to a place where people are already.

You don't have to spend millions of dollars advertising because they're going to walk by the signs all the time.

So this goes on.

They try to lock down DeSantis on this obvious scandal,

which is just completely.

He's getting outrageous sums of money from these people.

Yeah, $100,000.

Oh, we should also mention when he goes, oh, it's not working for people of color.

If you don't know, Publix is a white's-only grocery store.

Yeah, they do.

I didn't realize that was legal.

Yeah.

No, yeah.

They don't allow black people inside of Publix.

Dang.

Bastards.

What do you do?

Why?

Why?

Do black people, I know they can't get IDs.

They apparently can't get to grocery stores either.

Well, no, they all live in food deserts.

Food deserts.

We found that out from Michelle.

That's right.

Which, by the way, is not accurate either.

We went around Texas.

This is back when I was doing a show.

I loved Texas.

Oh, there's such a great

when you were doing the food deserts in Dallas.

We did a segment called Deserted, and it was on the show I did for the Blaze called The Wonderful World of Stew, which is a weekly show.

So we get to have a little more time to do production on these things.

So we would go out on the field, and I would go, I would find food deserts in Texas.

They were actually designated.

Designated as food deserts.

And And then I would go visit all the grocery stores inside the food desert because without fail, they would always have not just one, but multiple grocery stores inside

what they called the food desert.

Unbelievable.

And it's just, these are just straight out lies.

They would say that, you know, they have, because they put out a map.

They said, this is where all the food deserts are.

And I'm like, I'm standing in one.

I went to one that had a

Target superstore, which full grocery store inside, a Walmart superstore with an entire grocery

store inside, a Sam's Club, which has lots of the same types of things, and an Eatsy's, which is like more of a, I don't know, like a craft sort of grocery store that has, you know, it's not a grocery store, it has some prepared foods, but it has like a mix of things.

But you couldn't get like fresh produce at any of those places.

All of them.

I think you get fresh produce at all of them.

And like some of the places didn't have like, you know, unhealthy processed snack foods.

Like Eatsies wouldn't have something like that.

But you could get that at Target.

Would Walmart Wood, Target Wood.

So all these things.

And they were, it's like a, it can't be more than a

square mile for sure.

It's much less than that.

I mean, these are things that you could drive to all four of these places within three minutes.

They're that close to each other and they're inside the food desert.

And so we went and visited them and we're like, look, we can't find any produce here.

And so that's all over the place.

Which is, of course, why they don't talk about food deserts anymore.

I guess not.

Because there really aren't any.

Not in America.

Look, if you're in the middle of nowhere in a rural area, like sometimes that's the case, but that's not the way they.

That's not, that's not how they define it.

No.

They're talking about urban areas where you can't get fresh food.

And the idea, once again, is these evil corporations don't like minorities, so they don't put grocery stores near minorities.

Apparently, the minority money is not effective as a

incentive.

They don't want it.

Which is ridiculous.

These places are all over the place.

They're all over the place.

They don't care where their money comes from.

No, they don't care.

They don't care.

So here is Ron DeSantis.

They're trying to trap him on this.

We know the reason why you gave these vaccines to Publix is because...

Listen to this, Cliff.

It's amazing.

We wanted to ask Governor DeSantis about the deal, but he declined our request for an interview.

Oh, no.

We caught up with him south of Orlando.

Publix, as you know, donated $100,000 to your campaign, and then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination.

So, first of all, what you're saying is wrong.

How is that not pay to play?

That's a fake narrative.

I met with the county mayor.

I met with the administrator.

I met with all the folks at Palm Beach County, and I said, here's some of the options.

We can do more drive-through sites.

We can give more to hospitals.

We can do the Publix.

And they said, we think that would be the easiest thing for our residents.

But Melissa McKinley, the county commissioner in the Glades, told us the governor never met with her about the Publix deal.

The racism is that it's pay to play.

It's wrong.

It's wrong.

It's a fake narrative.

I just disabused you of the narrative and you don't care about the facts because obviously I laid it out for you in a way that is irrefutable.

And so it's clearly not.

Isn't there the near future?

No, no, no, you're wrong.

You're wrong.

You're wrong.

That's actually a fact.

Okay, so this is, first of all, you could see the Trump,

why Trump fans like DeSantis.

Like, he doesn't care.

He's just going to freaking fire back at you over these things.

Of course, they also edited that clip.

I don't know if we have, do we have full time to run this?

Let's just

listen to some of this.

This is the full clip, the exchange with DeSantis.

Much of this hit the cutting room floor on 60 minutes.

Here's the initial question.

About $100,000.

So first of all, what you're saying is wrong.

That's a fake narrative.

So first of all, when we did the, the first pharmacies that had it were CVS and Walgreens, and they had a long-term care mission.

So they were going to the long-term care facilities.

They got vaccine in the middle of December.

They started going to the long-term care facilities the third week of December to do LTCs.

So that was their mission.

That was very important, and we trusted them to do that.

As we got into January, we wanted to expand the distribution points.

So yes, you had the counties, you had some drive-through sites, you had hospitals that were doing a lot, but we wanted to get it into communities more.

So we reached out to other retail pharmacies, Publix, Walmart.

Obviously, CVS and Walgreens had to finish that mission and we said we're going to we're going to use you as soon as you're done with that.

For the Publix, they were the first one to raise their hand say they were ready to go and you know what we did it on a trial basis.

I had three counties.

I actually showed up that weekend and talked to seniors across four different Publix.

How was the experience?

Is this good?

Should you think this is the way to go?

And it was 100% positive.

So we expanded it and then folks liked it.

And I can tell you, if you look at a place like Palm Beach County, they were kind of struggling at first in terms of the senior numbers.

I went, I met with the county mayor, I met with the administrator, I met with all the folks at Palm Beach County, and I said, here's some of the options.

We can do more drive-through sites.

We can give more to hospitals.

We can do the Publix.

We can do this.

They calculated that 90% of their seniors live within a mile and a half of a Publix.

90%.

And they said, we think that would be the easiest thing for our residents.

So we did that.

And what ended up happening was you had 65 Publix in Palm Beach.

Palm Beach is one of the biggest counties, one of the most elderly counties.

We've done almost 75% of the seniors in Palm Beach.

And the reason is because you.

So, first of all, two things you take from this.

Number one, he doesn't go from zero to arguing with her at all.

He explains it very calmly.

She keeps firing back, and eventually it escalates.

They only put that part in.

They skip the part where it's 90% of people live within a mile of a public,

which is an incredible statistic.

They skip all of that, and they make it look like he was giving this just to Publix for these donations when, as he lays out clearly, CBS and Walgreens had it first.

And by the way, they still have it.

So if you don't have a Publix nearby, you have a CBS or a Walgreens, most likely.

It really is.

I mean, the media just, they don't even care anymore.

They're not even trying.

But a ridiculous segment from 60 Minutes.

All right, I want to paint you a picture of peace of mind.

If you're planning to buy or sell a home in the near future, or both, this is especially for you.

Your real estate agent comes to the door, comes in, sits down with you.

You talk for a little bit about the house, what your goals are, what's realistic, what's not, all of that.

Then he pulls out his phone and a piece of paper and proceeds to pull up the names of every single person you're going to need to get the job done and done right, knows all the best people and writes them down for you.

And you realize, and not for the last time in this process, that you didn't just get a real estate agent.

You got a partner, someone who's going to see this thing through all the way and make sure that you get the best possible outcome.

That's what Glenn envisioned when he created RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.

It's his company.

And that's what we have today.

In fact, it's much bigger and much better than it was even at the start.

You were listening to the Glenn Beck program.

There's a great movie out called Roe vs.

Wade, the movie.

It's a gripping film with actors like John Voigt, Stacey Dash.

I mean, Steve Gutenberg's in it.

That's awesome.

Corbin Burnson.

It's shocking to see how Planned Parenthood manipulated the courts and lied to the media.

You might know a little bit about the story, but you probably don't know the whole backstory.

It really was a crazy time.

There's so much more involved in this than a court case.

It really was a conspiracy with corruption going all the way to the Supreme Court.

Roe vs.

Wade

is the most famous court decision probably in American history.

We've all heard about it, but few of us know the real story.

The left has done everything in their power to prevent you from seeing this film.

Big tech targeting conservatives.

The film really could get canceled, so you better see it while it's still out there.

It's available right now, at least on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play, or you can see on demand from your major cable or satellite carriers after a half century of halais, secrecy.

We got to get this out in the open.

I hope so.

I hope so.

Because

even these evil states who have taken off the mask mandates, they need to put them back.

They need to...

I mean, things are getting completely out of control again.

We will show you a pastor who was a little upset with police in Calgary showing up at his church and hassling people there who weren't wearing masks.

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

The Glenn Beck program.

He's got a family emergency he's dealing with,

maybe all this week.

And so

if you could direct some thoughts and prayers to him and his family, that would be great and very much appreciated.

888-727-BECK, it is Pat and Stewart for Glenn.

On the mask mandate in Texas, I think a lot of people are surprised that our numbers continue to trend down.

Yes.

Since the mask mandate being pulled, we've gone down another 37% in infections and hospitalizations.

You mean

up 37%?

No, it's actually down.

Down 37%.

Down 37%.

Down 37%.

I just was reading over the weekend, though, that 25 states, I think, had their numbers go up a little bit.

They spiked.

Somewhat.

Yeah, it does seem like there is...

We had this really big decrease nationally

from over the past few months, partially as vaccines started.

But I don't know how much you can really put on that case.

I think you can look at that from elderly people because there is a really significant percentage of elderly people who have been vaccinated.

Now, it's over 70%

of elderly people have at least first shots.

So that's a lot.

It's helping with the death numbers, though the case numbers are, they basically plateaued at about the level of the summer lull before we had that.

Which was how many?

How many is that?

Give me one second here.

I can give you that number.

Because basically, we had a

if you think of the way we've dealt with this thing since the beginning, there's been that first wave, right, where everything was going crazy.

We didn't have any tests, and it was basically New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.

There's some in California, some in Detroit.

New Orleans got hit pretty hard that first wave, but it was mostly a northeast wave, if you want to call it that.

And that was, that had the, are you looking for cases or deaths?

Deaths, let's just do deaths because they're much easier to actually look at

because there was no testing in that first wave at all.

But you got to about 2,000 deaths a day, a little over 2,000 deaths a day in that first wave.

Then it came down to around about 600 deaths per day as it came down off of that first wave.

Rose back up in the second wave, which would you think of Florida, Texas, Arizona, that rose up to about 1,000 a day.

Came back down to about 700 a day before this last wave that we had that was really not nearly as intense in any location, but was much more widespread.

It was like a, it was not nearly as bad in New York, for example,

than it was in that first wave.

Didn't it get to 4,000 a day?

But that one got up to a particular point?

Yeah, it got up to about ⁇

it did hit 4,000 in individual days.

The average got to about 3,500.

Okay.

So since then, that was the end of January, it's come all the way down to 833.

So from 3,500, we're down about 75%.

Cases

significantly stunning.

Yeah.

I mean, it's been

with cases from about 250,000 cases a day at the peak in that third wave.

We're now down to about 60,000 cases a day, which is about where we were.

Which Fauci would say, that's unacceptable.

Too high, right?

So too high.

But it's about the lull we had in between the second and third wave of this.

So it was a point where we were looking at this and saying, okay.

you know,

we've done well at this point.

We're not all the way down to maybe where we would like to be, but we've done well.

Now,

since, let's say, the beginning of March, we've basically, that decrease has stopped.

We've hit a plateau at about 60,000 a day, give or take.

Okay, so we haven't dropped to like 50 or 40.

Right.

We have just stayed at 60.

The drop went pretty straight down and then has leveled off about this area.

Yeah.

Now, the good thing is deaths continue to drop.

We don't know if that's going to continue, but it would make sense that it continues considering we are now vaccinating so many older people.

This is sort of the approach.

If you remember, Pat, back in the early days of the pandemic, there were sort of two competing approaches.

You had the left-wing approach, which was like, lock everything down.

No one goes outside at all, basically, unless you're, you know, unless you're a doctor.

Yeah.

Only doctors on the roads was their plan.

You know, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not that much.

And then there was the conservative idea, which was, hey, we realize this hits people.

It's really, really bad for older people and not as bad for younger people.

So what if like the younger people went out and were able to do what they could do, take basic steps, you know, social distancing or whatever, you know, wash your hands a lot, do the basics, but we can keep the economy chugging as much as possible.

And we really do kind of lock down on older people.

You know, so they, they,

nursing homes, for example, aren't getting tons of visitors, right?

We don't import known COVID-positive patients into nursing homes like Andrew Cuomo was doing.

That was an interesting idea from conservatives.

Um,

but we've kind of now achieved largely that vision right now, which is we have 75%

of people 65 plus have at least had one shot.

Now, one shot will get you to about 80% effectiveness with Pfizer and Moderna, which is pretty good.

Which is pretty good.

I mean, it's much 80% is way better than they thought they were going to do with these things at the beginning.

They were hoping to get to 50%.

So they got to 80% with just one shot.

AstraZeneca in the UK is mainly their chosen vaccine there, and they're only doing one shot right now.

They're not even going for the 90% effectiveness with the second shot.

There's like, let's just get as many people as we can to get one shot.

So if you think of it that way, that it's largely effective anyway.

75% already have it.

Over 55% of

the 65-plus population is fully vaccinated in this country already.

It's really, really fast.

So we're doing 3 million vaccinations a day.

A day now.

That's incredible.

3.08.

That really is good.

It is really, really good.

And this is largely, by the way, we should point out, largely because of the Trump administration.

Right.

In conjunction with

big pharmaceutical companies, the other evil thing, and capitalism.

Those three things working together, getting something that has never, ever been seen before in human history.

This vaccine program, how fast they came up with them, how many they got, how effective they are,

how little side effects there have been.

It is absolutely incredible.

It's a miracle.

It really is.

It really is.

And I don't know.

I mean, maybe you don't want to get it, but that's fine.

It's still a miracle.

And that is fine.

That's just as important here, by the way.

Freedom is really important.

If you don't want to take the vaccine, you shouldn't have to take the vaccine.

Exactly.

No

exceptions to that for me.

I mean, like, if you, if you think I don't want to get the vaccine because I don't like needles, you shouldn't have to get the vaccine.

If you don't want to get the vaccine because

you just don't trust Publix and Ron DeSantis and the way they distributed the vaccine near the sub shop,

that's fine too.

That's really, really important.

And people get really sensitive because they feel as if the government's going to come in and mandate it.

We have not seen that yet, but people are very on top of the passports thing.

There's all these threats of people coercing you to do this.

The product is good enough to just be out there.

It's just believe in your product a little bit.

You came up with something really great.

It's working really well around the world.

And just believe that people are going to want to not get the coronavirus.

And to have not one but what four vaccines yeah that are widely in use right now yeah between

pfizer moderna johnson and johnson and astra zeneca yeah nastra zeneca is not approved here yet but it is uh in other parts of the world but i mean that's incredible when before

the the the data i heard is that the fastest vaccine ever developed was 10 years yep and i think it was measles there's one i think was it mumps or something that was, I had heard four years on.

There's some conflicting information as to what the record was.

At least four times what it took this time.

And I love, look, I love the superhero American story of the development of this vaccine.

I love it.

But I will say, you know, look, mRNA technology had been worked on for 40 years.

You know, they have been working on coronaviruses generally and mRNA for seven years.

Because we've seen a lot of coronaviruses.

They had a really good head start on this.

People talk about, oh, they just rushed it through.

Well, they had a really good, they've been doing research.

It was a top-line research issue.

And I think maybe the most exciting part of all of this

is that

this technology, this general, it's like a platform.

And so when they came up with a new variant, right, when these new variants have come out, they've been able to adjust and add and come out with booster shots in weeks because it's just like, it's just, they just need to tweak.

It's not, it's a totally different way of coming up with vaccines.

It's not like the old school way.

So the good thing about this is it could, I think it's going to do incredible things for other long-term things that people have struggled with, other diseases that people have struggled with.

And that's really great if that's the way this goes.

But like we should point out that the Trump administration is, if you want to have political fingers to be pointed, should be pointed to the Trump administration.

They are the ones that shepherded this process through.

It may very well be looked back at as the best thing he did as president.

They're the ones who provided the money.

Yeah, they provided the money.

They fast tracked

a lot of red tape.

Like people are like, oh, they rushed the vaccine through.

Well, they fast tracked the red tape.

Yeah.

And that is like, that's what gets in the way.

We could be much more innovative, but the FDA is always shutting these things down or making it take 10 years.

Right.

And it takes so long because, in part, the FDA approval process is

ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

And so instead of going through that, they did something else where you just had an emergency approval.

Emergency youth authorization.

By the way.

Instead of the actual approval.

It very much strengthens your case if you're someone who doesn't want to get it because it would be very difficult for a government entity to require

the FDA.

Right.

Yeah.

It would be very difficult for that to happen.

I don't think it would hold up in court.

But again, there are worries there, and you do have to worry about government overreach when it comes to power on these things.

I'm just talking about the actual science plus capitalism aspect of this, which I freaking love.

I love that part of it.

And why wouldn't you?

Because if you're a Trump fan, this is exactly what he did.

Yeah.

These were the steps he took to make this happen.

And it's important to note, too, that Donald Trump got the coronavirus, as we all would remember, right before the election in a really bad way, had a really rough run with it.

And even though he had it before he left office, he got the vaccine.

Yeah.

Like this is Donald Trump choosing to take it after he already had it.

It's questionable whether you would even need it if you had coronavirus.

Like as a a COVID-19 survivor myself, I've had to look into these things.

As well as a Canadian sports hero.

And a Canadian sports hero, the two things I'm known for.

Yeah.

But the point is that Trump, I mean, look, you could say,

you know, it would be very strange decision-making for this to be some nefarious plot that Trump willingly decided to take before he left office.

I mean, I don't know why he would do that.

The point, though, is that this is going in such a good direction.

We've come off of these highs, right?

And I think there's a good chance that we'll get that situation that we talked about as conservatives at the beginning, where

not through policy, but through vaccines, the older population is protected.

So that even if we have flare-ups among the younger population, we're likely to

lose the high death numbers

from the previous outbreaks.

Yeah, I was reading an article from somebody who

isn't a huge proponent of less restrictions.

And even he was saying,

I can't remember the name, but even he was saying that by Memorial Day, it's going to be hard to say you still need to wear a mask.

He said, We're trending in such a direction now that by Memorial Day, we should be done with that.

And that's great if that's true.

Look, it's great.

You know, it's true here largely in Texas anyway.

I mean, some of the signs remain in the doors.

There are certain places.

My wife can tell you a list of all of them in this area that will get mad at you if you do do not wear a mask.

I bet she could.

Oh, yeah.

If you're ever on her Instagram page, that is about 90% of the content is her talking about what places she can walk into without a mask and they won't harass her.

That's

most of her attention these days.

Our house got destroyed by a flood.

So you have that, and then you have where can she go shopping without a mask?

Those are the two things she thinks about.

But it's true.

I mean,

I have noticed, and we made this point in the air pad at the beginning of this, that really there's been no big difference from

before the announcement and after

maybe now we're starting to see a little bit more of things opening.

Like, I, you know, I'm going to the

America's team, the Toronto Blue Jays, their game against the Rangers today.

So expected 100% capacity.

That's going to be weird.

Yeah, that's something.

Because I've been to a few sporting events with empty seats.

This is going to be weird if it's actually filled.

But you do have to wear a mask, right?

They do say that, unless you're eating or drinking, which, by the way, I'm at a baseball game I will be doing a lot of.

So it's not going to really affect me all that much.

727 Beck is the phone number.

Let's talk to you, Rouge.

American Financing, NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Thank you, Jeffy.

Like Sams in the hourglass, so are the days of getting a mortgage refinance rate in the 2% range.

That's not, how is that even a thing?

If you haven't already made a call to American Financing to find out what they can do to help you save money every month, there's only a few, who knows when this is going to end.

It doesn't feel like the the way they're printing money right now that we're going to have access to rates like this anytime in the near future.

Mortgage rates have always been higher than this.

They've been low for the past year or so.

They're starting to rise again.

If you have a chance to be paying less on your mortgage or bundle your existing debt into something a lot more manageable, why wouldn't you do that?

And the beauty of refinancing your mortgage is that you don't have to reset your term and start all over.

You could literally be saving hundreds of dollars a month, maybe even as much as a thousand.

Why not do this?

Think about what an extra 12 grand could do for you and your family.

For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people like you find ways to make their finances work for them.

Give them a call today.

I can say I have a mortgage through American Financing in the twos.

This is a real thing.

Call American Financing 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

Patton Stewart Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

I wanted to play for you this pastor.

He's originally from Poland, but he lives in Calgary, Canada now and has his parish there.

And some police officers came into his church yesterday on an Easter Sunday and were hassling people without a mask.

And so he kind of took exception to that.

Please get out.

Get out of this property immediately.

Get out.

Get out of this property talking to six police officers.

I don't want to hear anything out of this property immediately, I don't want to hear a word out

of this property immediately until you come back with a warrant.

Out!

Out!

Out!

Out!

Out!

Out of this property!

Immediately out!

Immediately go out and don't come back.

I don't want to talk to you.

Not a word.

Out of this prop out of this property in

I don't care what you have to say out

of this property, you Nazis, out,

out,

Gestapo is not allowed here.

Immediately Gestapo is not

allowed.

Do you understand English?

Get out of this property.

Go!

So go!

Go!

And don't come back without a warrant!

Out, Nazi!

Out!

Out!

Now, what does he want from the officers here?

I think he wants them

to stay and

have a cupcake or something.

Don't come back without a warrant.

Who knows?

He continues to call them Nazi Gestapo, communists, fascists.

But they leave.

How does this work?

They actually leave.

You need to try this next time you get pulled over.

Out!

Get out!

Out!

I don't want to hear you!

Get out!

I'm going to try that.

See how that works.

You get pulled over, you know, once a week at least.

So you got to at least give this a shot.

Seriously, I think that's the thing I'm most fascinated about, how they actually, it actually works.

Yeah.

I mean, of course, they shouldn't be in there doing these things if he wants them to not be there, if they don't have a warrant.

To come in and enforce.

I guess the idea was they were enforcing mask policy of some sort.

Yes.

I guess they were having church with no masks.

Right.

Wow.

And he just put the hammer down.

He really did.

Which is amazing.

First of all, it takes a lot of nerve.

Secondly, I mean, I'm not normally in favor of

disrespecting the police officers,

but they're there.

you know, hassling people with masks with not wearing masks on Easter Sunday in a church.

Yeah, no, look, that's wrong.

I will say also, however, there's a little Jim Crow 2.0 going on here in that, like, if you were to yell at the Nazis that way, that is not the way the interaction would have ended up.

That is true.

That is

kind of an important point as well.

It is.

I mean, the police take enough abuse from people that I don't like to see that.

But again, you understand.

People are frustrated.

It's been over a year here of this craziness.

And, you know,

there's just no reason.

There's no reason to be enforcing these types of things.

Tell people reliable information they can count on and you won't change every two weeks and let them make decisions for themselves.

And then if they show up, tell them, get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

The Glenback program.

Well, it's springtime out there.

It's about time to act like it's springtime.

We spent most of a year living in the kind of fear that makes neighborhoods just close up.

Don't you think it's time that we move past all of that?

Think about this now.

It's your backyard.

Weather is absolutely perfect.

People are moving around talking, laughing, being near each other a little bit.

I mean, certainly not within six feet, but kind of near each other outside.

A wonderful, wonderful time.

And every eye is on the prize.

Those burgers, those hot dogs, soaking up the grill marks as they cook on a Rec Tech.

Sound pretty good?

It sounds like a good summer for me.

It sounds pretty good to, I think, most Americans at this point.

When you're cooking on a REC Tech, you're making sure you're going to get

the best food the best way.

When your guests bite into that the burger that you cooked, the hot dog that you cooked, it's going to be cooked perfectly.

With smart grill technology, its spacious design, RekTech is going to help you create the perfect spring day.

We're doing something kind of cool at Kexie.

By the way, if you want some delicious cookies anywhere in the country, kexi.com, just order them today.

But if you live in the area, and I don't don't know if this is worth the drive from, say,

Maine, but if you live in the DFW area, we're having the Kexie Grand Opening on Saturday from noon to two.

Big news.

Big news.

It's our grand opening.

Everybody who comes gets a free cookie.

And then you can register for all kinds of cool prizes.

Free cookies,

cookies.

Yes, prizes.

You might win, let's see, we've got a KitchenAid product,

baking basket.

You get three months' subscription on the Scrumptious Dozen

and

a bunch of other things.

These are the best cookies I've ever had.

I've told you that a million times.

But that's amazing.

We actually

did an interview for my show, Studios America, for this later on this week.

It's airing.

And it was about kind of like how you started this company in the middle of a pandemic and how weird that is.

It is weird.

It is.

It must have been such a strange thing to kind of go through as the economy is struggling.

We don't know what's coming around the corner.

All this craziness.

Yeah, it must have been.

Yeah.

A little nerve-wracking.

And to spend pretty much everything we had, we kind of dumped it into this.

I got to thinking, all right, I'm investing in all these other companies.

Why don't we just invest in ours?

So that's what we did.

Yeah.

And so you could say it's not a good decision to start a company in the middle of a pandemic.

Some would say that's it.

I wouldn't say it because that would be rude, but some would say it.

I will say, though, though, there are some management decisions I really do have to question with your company.

Like the location of our kitchen.

Exactly.

Which is halfway between Jeffy's old house and his new house.

That close to Jeffy?

No, it's terrible.

That's disastrous.

You're going to have like three break-ins a week.

I will be shocked.

We've got to keep the location secret from him somehow.

You do.

I will be shocked if you have any dough remaining in week two.

We won't have a single cookie supply if he gets wind of this.

No.

So before he finds our location, go to kecksee.com and maybe we'll still be able to get cookies to you.

All right, triple eight

727BECK.

Also,

we were talking about this

mask situation that

this Polish pastor in Calgary

really drove home to the police who showed up at his place to hassle his parishioners.

Hopefully, we're going to be able to get past this mask situation sometime soon.

Because

if we all remember back to last year, the deal was, all right, we're going to flatten the curve, 15 days to flatten the curve.

Okay, we flattened the curve.

And then it was, now

we got a,

we really need

a vaccination.

We need a vaccine.

And until we get a vaccine, we really can't allow you to take off the mask or stop your social distancing.

So now we have the vaccine, and now it still hasn't eliminated the need for the mask.

Strange.

Or the social distancing, which again, Stu and I are both kind of okay with the social distancing.

Yeah, I kind of want to be near people that much.

Do I really need to be right up on you or you right up on me?

Yeah.

No, I don't need to.

I really don't.

There's certain things I want to keep.

From

the pandemic era.

I'm fine with the social distancing.

Let's keep it.

Let's keep it.

Unless I really know you really well and maybe I'm married to you, I don't really need to be within six feet of you.

My voice can carry the six feet.

You want to even make it three feet like they do in Europe?

Fine.

Okay.

But like the close talker thing on Seinfeld was funny for a reason.

I don't need to go back to that.

Not everybody maybe, but many people can relate to that.

Yes.

I don't want you right up in my face when we're talking.

Right.

Like I'm fine losing that one.

I'm fine.

This is a controversial one.

I'm fine losing the handshake.

I don't need to.

So am I.

What am I getting out of that?

And I'm definitely all about the kissing on the cheek thing not happening anymore.

Yeah, well, totally done with that.

I mean, that was done with that.

That should have been done with me, too, anyway, because you just don't know who you're going to offend.

That's true.

As Andrew Cuomo is finding out

quite overtly here, I would also say

not having traffic.

I don't want that to come back.

Right.

You know what?

Hey, hey, I just worked at home for the past year.

Stay there.

Okay.

I have to go drive around.

I like not having other cars on the road.

Please stay there.

You can continue to work at home, but just don't come out.

I don't want things to be crowded.

I like, I've noticed here in Texas, we are now back to, and this is an interesting development, by the way.

We are now back to a 100% capacity on restaurants or 100% capacity on restaurants in the law.

But also, people are back at restaurants at pre-pandemic levels in Texas.

Nationwide, it's about 75%

of pre-pandemic levels, but in Texas, it's 100% levels.

We're totally back.

And here's an odd thing.

Wow.

We are currently at 100% restaurant levels from pre-pandemic.

However, we're at 38% of

workers in offices.

And I think that's going to be a permanent thing.

I think a lot of people are going to work from home now.

Oh, I think so, too.

But I think there's also, there's an element of like.

There's there in this in these two statistics, there's a story.

There's a story of a person who is telling their boss they don't want to come in because of the pandemic, but they're going to restaurants.

That person exists.

A lot of them exist.

38 to 100%.

This is not a small margin.

And there's just a lot of people who are like, look, I like working at home.

It's freaking, I get to get up and do things in my own basement.

Just commute maybe to my living room.

To my living room.

I get to keep in, stay in sweatpants whenever I want.

And I get to go out and go to restaurants and stuff on the weekends when I feel like it.

That is like, that's a nice little, that's a nice little package.

And I think that's going to be pretty common.

And for companies, it makes sense too because

you don't have to rent these giant offices.

You can trim down the space.

You can maybe work, have an office where you have like maybe people come in once a week for meetings, but they're not there all the time.

There's a lot of positives to it.

It makes a lot of sense.

But

I like the development of this character.

And you know what?

You're listening right now.

It might be you.

It might be you.

You're not showing up to work because you're acting like you're scared about COVID.

In reality, you're out at the bar all weekend.

We know what you're doing, and I'm perfectly fine with it.

And that's, I mean, you look at the, you look at the attendance in this building where

clearly there were dozens, not almost 100 people a day, probably.

Now there's what, 10?

Yeah.

Maybe 10 people come into the office.

There was this thing where they sent out this email.

It was like, hey, everyone could come back now.

Because for a while, we were telling people, don't come in.

You know, not we, like, but the company.

Right.

And saying like, hey, don't come in because, you know, there's the COVID thing going on.

And, you know, of course, a lot of companies are in this position.

And this is a real thing that companies are dealing with that they don't have, they don't know if someone comes in and gets COVID here, they could get sued.

So they're trying to make sure their outward policies are like, look, no, don't come back in because I don't want to get sued.

And of course, there's safety concerns and all that other thing.

If you don't need to be here, why would you be here?

Which makes sense.

On the other hand, like Texas is now 100% open.

There are no restrictions on any business to do anything for COVID right now.

They're just not a thing.

So

now it's just like people just, I was kind of expecting there'd be like a, okay, people are going to come rushing back in.

Did not happen.

I think like one person showed up and I haven't seen him since.

No, they're loving the whole thing.

Hey, I can't believe

both Pat and I as essential workers.

in this economy.

It's just laughable.

But both Pat and I came in every day throughout the entire pandemic.

We never, we never worked at, I have never worked at home doing the show other than when I actually had COVID.

You know, I stayed at home for that period.

But I, you know,

you weren't on the air during that time.

Right.

So I came into the studio every day to do the show.

And it was, you, it's weird doing that because you saw at the beginning of it.

There would be times I'd drive to work and see like one car.

Yeah.

It was weird.

It was weird.

It was a little surreal, but it was also kind of nice because you didn't have to deal with traffic.

And especially the drive home because I come in way earlier than most people.

Yeah.

But I go home at a time when a lot of people are going home.

So

it's nice not to have to do stop and go traffic all the way home.

Yeah, it is nice.

It's been kind of a cool thing.

And it's funny because they say, you know, the causes of death.

stats came out and there's some really interesting stuff in there.

For example, the craziest part of the entire report from

the government.

Let me guess.

No flu flu deaths last year?

No.

Well, that's true.

They combine in this report, they combine flu and influenza.

Influenza and

what's the other one?

One of the ammonia.

Thank you very much.

Ammonia deaths together.

So there were in that category.

That's going to be broken down later, but there are very few flu deaths.

We do know that.

But the other one, the craziest one was that suicides went down.

Year to year, suicides went down 5.6%, which is stunning to me.

Me too.

I would say it's one of the things that everyone talked about from the beginning, that there was going to be a cost with people being home all the time, not having interaction.

We've seen stories.

Tons of anecdotal stuff.

Back that up.

But I will say, Massachusetts released the first report that I saw, showed suicides were down.

Peru did a separate report and said suicides were down.

And now the entire United States, they were down 5.6% for the year.

Their preliminary numbers are not finalized, but it does look like there was not this explosion of suicides.

Now, there could be reasons for that, in that, like, for example,

this is going to be one of the best years on record for the health of children when it comes to living or dying.

Now, we know the mental health parts of this are going to be really complicated for years to come.

But as far as living or dying, children, generally speaking, have fared much better because COVID hasn't killed them and

they've been home largely with their parents.

Other diseases from other people.

Right.

They're not interacting with other people.

They're not getting those diseases.

They're not having accidents as much because because their parents are home with them the whole freaking time.

They might be sick of their parents, but they're dying at a lower rate than normal, which has been kind of interesting.

The suicide thing was, I thought, fascinating because I thought the exact opposite.

Now, it could be part of this, right?

Maybe like a lot of suicides happen where a wife and a husband are, you know, they're married.

The wife is off at work.

The husband decides to kill himself at home.

Well, maybe the wife's home and they decide not to do it because they didn't want to do it when their wife was home.

Like, there could be all sorts of reasons why this happens, and it could echo into the future, right?

Like, these

large depression issues and stuff that have formed from this,

you know, that could lead to many more in the future once this stuff all gets back to normal.

But I thought that was a fascinating stat.

Another one in there, it doesn't seem like car accidents have fallen like what was expected.

What was expected is, you know, we're getting way less miles driven, far less people are on the roads.

You'd expect a lot less car trips and deaths.

But that's not the case.

They're not really seeing that.

And one of the reasons they believe is that people are, yes, there's less people, but they all think they can drive like 100 miles an hour all the time because no one's on the road.

So they're just driving by themselves and getting in really bad accidents, driving a lot faster than normal.

But they don't know for sure yet.

This is all going to be hashed out over the next few years.

But I will say, I do not want the traffic to come back.

I love not dealing with that.

And now here in Texas, it's not all the way back, but it's getting close.

It is.

It feels like now you're actually slowing down on the roadways again.

Yep.

And that's not exciting.

No.

You know, you get to this point in the pandemic where all you want is to have a gathering with other people, you know?

And then

after you have it once, you realize how much annoying it was.

Why did I want that again?

Why?

These people are awful.

I'm having meaningless, dumb conversations about nothing, and they're all breathing on me.

Please leave.

Get out.

Get out.

Triple 8727 B E C K.

I'll tell you about gold line.

Last week, Joe Biden and company revealed their $2.25 trillion backdoor tax hike.

I think I'm supposed to call that an infrastructure plan.

And by the way, not $1.9.

We're already over $2 trillion.

It's probably going to go up even more.

But what's a few trillion dollars?

between friends.

You ever have an image of what that money looks like?

If you made $10,000 a day for the next 50 years, you'd only have one-fifth of $1 billion.

And a trillion is a thousand billions.

So we are printing up new money and it is going out of control.

If you haven't already, now's the time to be looking into precious metals.

The dollar is in deep trouble with people like the way we're doing this, this modern monetary theory that we're just attempting out of nowhere.

It's getting ugly.

Goldline can help you set up a shelter against hyperinflation.

Give them a call.

It's Patton Stuper, Glenn.

You know, this massive infrastructure bill that we're

bantering about right now,

about

5% of it seems to be going to infrastructure.

Yeah.

I'm surprised to see it that high.

I know.

I know.

According to a White House fact sheet breaking down

the American jobs plan

and their areas of focus, the Biden administration is proposing $115 billion to modernize bridges and roads that are in the most critical need of repair.

So apparently 173,000 miles of U.S.

highways

are in need of repair and about 45,000 bridges.

But this is only going to repair 20,000 miles of roadways and maybe 10,000 small bridges.

That's great.

So

everything that they're telling us right now is completely untrue.

But other than that, other than that, Pat, to be fair, 95%.

Because the 5% is going to infrastructure.

So only 95% of what they're telling us is not true.

Which is not true, right?

That's all.

You could look at it like that.

I'm an optimist here on the show.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

They're telling us 5% of the truth.

We should be excited about that.

I mean, and we're talking about $2 trillion in spending, and it's a $2 trillion infrastructure bill with less than 10% of it, 5% of it going to infrastructure.

Yeah, and this is really different than the last one.

I mean, the last bill was filled with all sorts of crap in it, but did have some actual things that were

useful as far as the COVID situation.

This is an infrastructure bill that's barely touching infrastructure.

I mean, there's $400 billion, Pat, for in-home elder care.

Now, look, in-home elder care is a...

It's important.

It's important, but it's...

It's not infrastructure.

Yeah, it's

infrastructure.

Like, they just keep saying crumbling roads and bridges.

That's why we need to send an attendant to your grandpa's house.

That's not.

Wait.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

These are just liberal wish list points at this point, and it's getting worse and worse as each bill goes by.

But again, the good thing is it's only a $2 billion bill.

$2 trillion.

$2 trillion.

$2 trillion.
