Steve May Smith is weird, man.

We got to do this today.

I feel like one day he's really good, and the next day he makes absolutely no sense.

Thank you, Lord.

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 at least, like say, 10 minutes?

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

In fact, it's probably several.

And that's fine.

You know, no judgment here.

I have terrible habits.

But you have the time to call American Financing if you have that time.

Let's say you're paying 4% or more on your mortgage, which used to be really good, a really good rate.

Well, you can get that even lower with American Financing.

I'm talking to American Financing right now about refinancing my home, and we're sorting that out.

One of the things that's just like infuriating me right now is this ridiculous rant from Stephen A.

Smith, who I go back and forth on.

Like, I feel like sometimes the guy is really good on stuff.

Yes, exactly.

And the next day, he doesn't make any sense at all.

Yes.

Today's one of those days he doesn't make any sense at all.

We'll get into that in 60 seconds.

On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.

You modern American spy.

What?

Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East

and his wife's courage to never give up on him.

This is terrorism.

When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.

I came here to save his life.

Starring Jim Coviesel.

Do your job.

See Infidel.

Only in theater, September 18th.

Pat and Stu here for Glenn on the Glen Bett program.

Pat, I'm at the point now where these stories come out in the media.

And I don't even know how to detect what is controversial about them.

Like they come out and everyone starts tweeting about them, and everyone's pissed off.

And I read the story, and I don't even know, I can't even detect what the thing of the day is we're supposed to be upset about.

Yeah.

One of these stories, I had this story put in front of me yesterday that Steve Nash, the former multi-time MVP of the league in the NBA, had Hall of Fame member, Hall of Fame member,

received, or you know, he was awarded the coaching job, a head coaching job of the new Brooklyn Nets, not the New Jersey Nets anymore, Brooklyn Nets.

And

it seems like, okay, I mean, if Steve Nash is willing to do an NBA head coaching job, he's going to get an NBA head coaching job.

He played the position, point guard,

best known for having knowledge of the offense.

You're running the team on the court.

It's the most direct line to a head coaching job from

player, right?

But it was a controversy.

And I was looking at this, I'm like, what's what's the controversy?

Well, the controversy is he's white.

And Steve Nash is white, therefore white privilege.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, Pat, you might remember this better than I do, but isn't, I feel like Steve Nash is pretty darn woke.

Isn't he one of these guys that's come out and talked about a lot of these issues before?

Seems like it.

And has been on the side.

I get him mixed up sometimes with Steve Kirk because all those white guys look alike and they're both point guards.

I know.

No, it's okay.

I'm only kidding.

It's It's totally fine to say that all white people look alike.

I'm only kidding.

That's not racist at all.

But I know what you mean because there's been four white players in NBA history and Steve Nash is one and Steve Kerr is the other.

And I guess that's part of the complaint here from Stephen A.

Smith, who's, you know,

I really do feel conflicted about.

He's like, Stephen A.

Smith is like a law and order episode.

Like you're watching and you're like, oh, that murderer definitely did it.

And then you're like, oh, no, he's totally innocent.

You go back and forth like every commercial break.

That's how I am with Stephen A.

Smith.

We just played a clip of him.

That was really good.

It was really good just the other day, right?

I swear he does this because he gets praised by the right for these clips.

And then within two days, he has to come out with like the most crazy woke thing possible so he can like balance it.

So here is his comment on Steve Nash getting the head coaching job of the Brooklyn Nets.

Ladies and gentlemen, there's no way around this.

This is white privilege.

What?

this does not happen for a black man no experience whatsoever on any level as a coach

and you get the brooklyn nets job how the hell is this always happen for somebody else other than us why is it that we have to be twice as good to get half as much why is it that no matter what we do and how hard we work and how we go through the process and the terrain of everything somehow some way there's another excuse to ignore that criteria, to ignore those credentials, and instead bypass it and make an exception to the rule for someone other than...

Pause it for just a sec.

Who are we talking about here?

Who is the black person that should have gotten the job?

Now, if you've got somebody specifically in mind,

let us know.

Who is it?

No, it just has to be a black person.

No, it's just

a black person.

How about the job?

I got one, Jacob Blake's dad.

Let's put him in charge because he's black.

He doesn't like Jews very much, but I don't think they have any Jewish players.

Whatever.

So that's fine, I guess.

He doesn't like white people very much either, but I don't think they have any white players.

That doesn't seem to be a worry.

I think that's fine.

Yeah.

Yeah, because I guess that's the idea.

You're right.

Where's the.

Who are you talking about?

Look.

There are other qualified

black coaches, of course.

But Steve, I mean, look, if you were going to take one player out of the NBA over the past 20 years to say it would be an easy fit to go from player to coach,

it would probably be Steve Nash.

He's a relatively short white guy that won two MVPs as a point guard.

He's the most obvious guy.

And it was either him or Steve Kerr that played with Michael Jordan on the Bulls championship team.

One of the two.

We don't know.

Actually, one of them was really white.

One played with Jordan.

But I mean, like, this is a bizarre argument.

It is really weird.

Okay, but you're right.

No specifics.

I'm sure we could name plenty of African-American players.

I don't think he does.

I don't think he does.

It just can't be a white guy.

It just seems to be the answer here.

But then, I think he does kind of qualify that.

Yeah.

Let's see this.

Continue with the clip if we have more.

Oh, that was it.

That was it.

That just cut off Mitchell.

I put a very good time though.

Okay.

Because he does go on to say that he deserves the job.

Right, which is strange.

Wait, you just said he's got no experience, but he does deserve the job, which we agree with, and you like him, and he deserves the job.

It's just that he shouldn't have gotten it right now because

there's controversy right now about what?

White privilege.

White privilege.

Right.

Which is very, very odd.

Now, it's funny because as soon as you heard Nash got the job, it was his first head coaching job.

You know, he's never been a head coach, which is true, and it is a little strange.

It doesn't happen that often.

The first thing that popped into my head was the only other guy I could remember it happening to, which was Jason Kidd, who also coached the Brooklyn Nets.

And is black.

And is black.

By the way.

Yeah.

So

his dad is black and his mom is white, I believe.

Yes.

Which I think that qualifies.

That's the Barack Obama thing.

So that makes it okay to say that he's black, I think, in today's world.

The bottom line here, though, is this specific franchise did the same thing with a black player before Steve Nash, who would be another person with the same position at point guard, the same profile, right?

Maybe not as good as Nash, but it's a Hall of Fame-level player.

I don't know if he's in the Hall of Fame, but he's a Hall of Fame-level player.

Kid was a great player.

So this has already happened with the same franchise.

And can like, if there is one

world,

one arena, one group of people that have no place to complain about white privilege, it's the NBA where we live in a country with 13% African American and the league is made up of 75% African Americans.

Like, how on earth can you describe that as a league of white privilege?

And it's almost like white people aren't allowed in it.

Right.

The only white people that are allowed are from Bosnia.

Right.

For some reason, only Bosnians can play in the NBA.

Germans, Serbians.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like you're four American white people in the NBA right now, four of them.

It's just.

That that it's a bizarre argument.

And has there ever been a moment, Pat, that you sat back and be like, darn it?

Why aren't there more white people in this league?

Never.

This is infuriating.

Why?

Why?

Where are the whites?

Never in my life have I considered.

White privilege doesn't seem to extend to that.

No.

To playing in the NBA.

No, which, by the way, are the best jobs.

I don't know if anyone, no one

grows up and they're like 11 years old and going, I wish I could coach in the NBA.

It'll be great to be able to diagram plays for other people to do.

Wow.

At some point, another person that I know may hit a shot to win a championship.

It's going to be incredible.

No one is on the court when you're a kid, you know, tossing the ball around and being like, all right, and then standing on the sidelines while they picture another person making the game-winning shot.

Everyone wants to play the freaking sport.

And by the way, that's where you make the most money, too.

It's where you get the highest profile.

And it can lead to other things like coaching jobs.

But Steve Nash is absolutely qualified for this job, at least by the standards of today, when they pluck players all the time

into coaching roles.

Now, listen to this, Pat.

This is the Brooklyn Nets head coaches.

I mentioned Jason Kidd, who happens to be black.

And is in the Hall of Fame, by the way.

And is in the Hall of Fame, and he deserves it.

He's a great player.

Next up was Lionel Hollins, who is black, then Tony Brown, who is black.

Then Kenny Atkinson, who is white, then Jacques Vaughan, who is black, and then Steve Nash.

So

they've had majority African-American coaches for the past, I don't know, what's seven or eight years.

And then before that was P.J.

Carlissimo, another legendary coach.

Before him, Avery Johnson, who is black.

They've had plenty of black coaches.

They've had a good mix.

And there's no unique...

Like, you could say, and I guess this would be the argument, because if it's not this argument, it has to be racism.

But the argument would would be that African Americans, for whatever reason, outperform white players in their abilities, right?

There's no other real excuse as to why there'd be five times your population percentage to be in the NBA.

It's just that they, it's a merit-based system and they do it better.

But there's no reason to believe that that's true with coaching.

Like,

white people are really, like, there's a lot of white punters because it's the only thing we can do in the NFL.

We're like, hey, we can punt.

And

we can play play right guard.

And right guard, yes.

And right guard.

Not all the time, but sometimes we can play right guard.

Sometimes, yeah.

And we can punt.

Maybe tight end.

Long snapper.

You need a good long snapper.

Come to white.

You got a white again.

That's us, right?

So there's like four things that white people can do in sports when it comes to athletic ability.

But when it comes, like, I was thinking, think of it this way: like,

one of the best coaches in the NFL would be Andy Reid.

Andy Reid does not strike you as a guy with with high levels of current athletic ability.

Now,

I'm sure he was a good player at one point, but Andy

is not exactly a guy you look at and you're like, that guy, wow.

He was a good lineman.

He was a good lineman, right?

From BYU, actually.

And I think he played in the NFL for a while.

But yeah, he

was.

He's a good lineman.

The most in-shaped person in the world who's a great player

wouldn't necessarily have the same skill set to become a coach.

It's a different skill set.

Now, some people, like Steve Nash, have both, like Jason Kidd have both.

Andy Reid was a player, obviously, at one point, and, you know, he was able to make that transition as well.

You know,

but like, I just don't.

It doesn't, there's no reason to believe you'd think that coaching would revert back to, because the athletic ability isn't there, coaching would revert back to typical population percentages.

Everybody wants to play sports when they're kids.

There's not like, it's not like one of these things that's unique to any culture to want to play, right?

Right.

Everyone tries to do it, and black players tend to do it better for whatever reason that I don't know.

I don't know what a reason is, but it's a merit-based system.

And I can tell you that if Whitey did it as well, they would probably get the jobs.

But they don't.

And that's the thing.

Like, what percentage of income coming to players in their major sports go to black players?

It's well over 50%.

It's probably, I mean, if it's 75% of the NFL, it's probably around 75% of the pay, though, you know,

there's certain players that, you know, quarterbacks make more.

Maybe it's, it's in that general vicinity, though, I would think, as far as the total cash.

And we have an argument for white privilege.

Like,

this is objectively insane.

It's an objectively insane argument.

And yet it's made as if, you know, there's...

It's just obvious, of course it's not.

And especially when so many of the Brooklyn Nets coaches in the past have been blacks.

It's not like they're discriminating against blacks.

They've had black coaches over and over and over and over again.

Yeah.

It's just a bizarre moment.

And Stephen A.

Smith is one of the.

And I guess that's what kind of makes him interesting.

It's a terrible argument, though.

Yeah, it is.

It's a terrible argument.

But I guess this is kind of what, like, you can legitimately turn on, especially in this realm, this sort of sports versus culture sort of realm that intersection and watch something from Stephen A.

Smith and have no idea where he's going to come out on it because he just seems to flip a coin in the morning.

Yeah.

It's just a bizarre, bizarre thing.

So I don't know.

White privilege.

Just remember, next time you watch an NBA game,

what you're seeing is white privilege.

Try to make sense of that inside of your brain.

Back in a second.

All right.

Mercury Real Estate.

Yes.

RealestateAgentsITrust.com.

Real Estate Agents I Trust.com.

You know, Glenn has had this company for a very long time.

He started this after he was

trying to sell his house.

I think it was in New York, wasn't it?

Connecticut.

It's the one in Connecticut.

Connecticut.

And he was just having issues trying to sell it.

And he was, you know, communication is so important with a real estate agent, especially when you're trying to turn, you know, you're trying to hit a deadline, you're trying to get the best price.

And so he decided, you know what?

The thing is, I'm just picking randomly.

I think that's what we most, most of the time, it's what people do is you just, you just pick randomly.

You see an ad, maybe they're the people representing the house that you want to buy, and you just call them up.

Well, that's not the right thing to do when you're talking about your biggest financial transaction.

You need to pick someone that you can trust.

And so Glenn's idea was, what if we have a bunch of real estate agents and we screen them and we put the best ones on this website.

People can join up and contact those people so you have the best agent in your area and it's really easy.

That's what this is.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is what was the result of that process and it's helped thousands of our listeners.

I know that.

If you're moving across the country,

if you've been taken out of your job and decided to move to go to a new job in a new area, you might not know a real estate agent there.

Do you understand this

controversy whether or not Trump encouraging people to vote twice is legal or not?

Sober.

I've never thought that was legal.

No one thinks it's legal.

But

Kaylee McEnany

kind of insinuated it was legal.

And even Attorney General Barr said he didn't know if it was illegal.

Well, I don't think they're talking about voting twice.

That's what the media is saying about the clip.

But I listened to the Trump clip that started all this.

Let's listen to it again.

Yeah, I think we have it, right?

Trump encourages North Carolina voters to vote twice.

Let's play this and see if he actually does.

On your ballots, if you get the unsolicited ballots,

send it in.

Send it in.

And then go make sure it counted.

And if it doesn't tabulate, you vote.

If it doesn't count,

and then if they tabulate it very late, which they shouldn't be doing, they'll see you voted, and so it won't count.

So send it in early,

and then go and vote.

And if it's not tabulated, you vote.

And the vote is going to count.

You can't let them take your vote away.

So he is absolutely not saying you should vote twice.

He is suggesting something that is probably not a good idea.

It's not probably going to work.

If you're going to go to the polls anyway, just go to the polls.

Like, don't send in your ballot and then go to the polls.

Right.

However,

what he's talking about.

Because if you do send it in, you're not going to know.

Really, if it was tabulated.

Like, his idea is basically you send it in and then you go and check and see if the vote came in.

And if it didn't come in, you go and vote in person.

But the whole point of sending in the mail-in ballot is so that you don't have to be wait in line and deal with coronavirus concerns.

It's the reason why they're doing this.

So if you don't have coronavirus concerns, just go vote in person.

So there's no reason to do both of those things.

But he is suggesting, however,

at no point does he suggest you should vote twice.

In fact, he specifically says if it's not tabulated.

So basically what he's saying is, if you send in a mail-in ballot and it's not recorded, you could still get your vote in.

Now,

you know, look, that is going to make the lines very, very long if people are there trying to figure out whether their mail-in ballot counted.

If you're going to go in line anyway, just go in line and vote normally.

Like, I don't know why you'd send it in.

I mean, I can understand ripping it up,

shredding your ballot, and then going in and voting because you don't want someone else to vote for you.

That would make sense.

If you're in one of these states and there are eight or nine of them that are sending out ballots to everybody, if that's you, I mean, and you're going to go in person, you can shred your the ballot they send you to make sure no one else votes in your place.

I can understand that, but there's no real reason to send it in and vote and then go in and vote again anyway.

But he's blatantly not saying, he's specifically saying,

go to the polls, find out if the vote counted.

If it didn't count, then you vote.

Yes.

Yes.

Specifically.

Yes.

And Kaylee McEnany tried to explain that.

Here's what she had to say, White House press secretary.

The president is not suggesting anyone do anything unlawful.

What he said very clearly there is make sure your vote is tabulated, and if it is not, then vote.

basically when you get a absentee ballot and you send it in there are poll books and it is recorded that you have tried to vote that you have in fact voted and if you show up at a polling site they look at the poll book and say your vote's been counted.

He wants verification.

Democrats want a whole new fraudulent system of mail-in voting never tried before in American history.

And what Democrats are saying to you is trust us, but don't verify.

And what this president is saying is verify your vote.

Okay.

So that's, I mean, she's right.

That is what he's saying.

That That is what he's saying.

She just said it better than he does.

Right.

So that's why

she is her job as spokesperson.

Yeah.

Right.

That is her job to say it better.

Yeah.

But still,

I like, this is one of those controversies that is just nothing.

It's another made-up thing.

It's another made-up piece of nonsense to entertain us through the Labor Day weekend.

I encourage you not to let it, not to let it distract you from having a good weekend because this is nonsense.

Everybody can hear the words he's saying, and everybody I've heard on the media talking about this is he's encouraging his people to vote twice.

Can you believe this?

He's not doing that.

He's saying if your vote didn't count when you sent it in early, then you get to vote.

But the easiest way to go is just go to the polls if you feel comfortable voting to the polls.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Joined by Jeffy.

Hello.

Is Jeffy still the host of the Chewing the Fat podcast available for subscription right now on podcast?

Yes, you are.

What I want to know is, have you been able to keep the price down?

Is it still free?

I know you've been fighting for it for a long time.

Is it still free?

I have another meeting today, but as of right now.

Yeah, as of right now.

As of right now, it's free.

Wow.

Wow, you should download it right.

What a value.

Get to it now.

Get to it now,

wherever you get your podcast.

You can't guarantee it'll be free tomorrow.

Well, I'm still fighting for that.

I'm still fighting for the people.

But right now, it's free, and you can get it wherever you get your podcast.

During the fat.

That's great.

I mean,

you're welcome.

Jeffy, have you seen any neighborhood civil wars breaking out?

Is this happening in your neighborhood?

No, no, you should ask.

Because I noticed last week in my neighborhood as I was leaving that there's a guy that put up a Trump sign right on the corner as you leave the neighborhood.

And I thought, boy, that takes some guts.

That takes some guts.

I don't know that I would do that.

Put a Trump sign in your yard

on a main corner.

You know, he's a corner house, right?

Yeah.

And not

deep inside the neighborhood.

I thought, boy, that takes some guts.

Then, like three days later, I turned down the street and two other houses have Biden-Harris signs in the front yard.

So

wars have started, man.

The wars have been started.

This is how the hunger game started.

People don't know that.

This is how the hunger game started.

I mean, in today's world, like we we had the story

earlier this week about the lady who got a strongly worded letter from the neighbors because of her Trump sign.

Yes.

Right?

And

they just hated her and wanted her to get rid of the sign.

In fact, and it's amazing because she's a Mexican-American single mother whose parents are legal immigrants.

So, I mean, I guess that doesn't matter if it's a Trump sign, right?

The Trump 2020 sign.

It doesn't matter.

My wife, Lisa Page, made me do it on Instagram, of course, as she would make make me tell you posted that that's the first place I saw it was on her feed because it was some some local area around here where this letter came in and it's a letter basically saying hey

I saw your Trump sign just wanted to thank you for being hating immigrants right and hating people like me you're you're this is a loud statement as to what you think about people like me and who you're in and it was like this really angry thing and of course she didn't realize that she had actually delivered it to a Mexican-American yeah who was a Trump supporter just incredible and that got me And then that's when I see the Trump sign in my neighborhood.

I'm thinking, I don't know that I would do that.

I don't know that I put up the, I mean, I barely want to put up a flag anymore.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Because

that is not America, right?

If you can't put up a freaking American flag, and I know you're exaggerating a little bit here, but like...

The Trump thing is like legitimate.

If you put a Trump sticker on your car, you've got a good chance of it getting keyed.

And the point is,

there's two parts of of me on this.

One is, like, I want to put every political sign on my car.

You know, I want to put pro-life.

I want to put everything on there just because I hate the idea that this would be my concern.

You're angered by it.

Yeah.

On the other side, I realize that no person in American history has changed their mind over a bumper sticker or a sign.

I don't know about that.

I may have gone to a restaurant or two because of a bumper sticker.

Well, yes, advertisement, I guess, does work.

But they used to have these signs.

I used to always think this was the worst thing in the world down in Philadelphia when I would be on my commute to the studios there.

And there would be these signs in the neighborhoods that would say

vote line seven.

Yeah.

And you're like,

vote line seven?

You're not even going to tell me what it is or what the name is because it becomes just a cultural thing, right?

You know,

we were driving through a neighborhood in here in Texas, and there must have been an 80 to 1 ratio of Trump to Biden signs.

Like, it was a big one of these these big complexes, every single one, Trump signed everywhere.

It was one of these deep, deep red.

One little area.

And then one little Biden person.

You're like, look,

am I voting for Joe Biden?

No, but you'd like

the bravery to at least

stick the sign in your line.

And I felt bad about thinking about this guy putting up his Trump.

Trump Pence 2020 sign in the front yard on this corner lot.

I'm thinking,

you know, this is a main road coming out of the neighborhood.

I don't know that I would do that.

It might be accidentally have, you know, oops, did that brick fly out of the back of my pickup truck up against your house?

Sorry.

One of the things they're saying now is people are putting signs in areas where they can't be trashed.

So instead of putting them out in the corner where you would normally put them, they're putting them in trees.

They're putting them behind fences, like hanging over a fence.

So you'd have to get out of your car and go all the way up to the house to take down the sign, which is a little bit more difficult to do.

That is like, how can this be our country?

It's It's so ridiculous.

And it's not the same as, you know, during election season where you have the empty corner lots with AD signs, you know, vote for this judge, vote for that judge.

Yes on 18.

Okay, and they have like, you know, there's 50 signs as you're at the red light.

Okay, that's fine.

I just saw, I saw a story from Montana where they, it was some guy came onto somebody's property and tore their signs down off of their front porch and then set them on fire in their front lawn.

Well, they had their kids sleeping about 10 feet away inside the house.

And you don't know when that fire is going to spread.

I mean, that it just, it's insanity what people are doing

over a Trump sign.

Get over it.

Get over it.

He's one of the two major candidates.

Yeah.

He's the president of the United States, by the way.

Yeah.

Move on when you're on.

Who hates people and can't stand them.

And we know how you, that's exactly how you feel.

And because he hates people you must know absolutely that's what that sign means that's what that sign means have you seen friends and stuff in your life relatives that have blown up their relationships over this yet have you been seeing this i don't know about relationships i mean with the the fights and the not talking to each other yeah well it's kind of blowing up your relationship yeah i mean not necessarily they're never going to talk again but just like they're they're at odds and will not speak to each other about anything for a while that that's a that's an amazing development to me it's like

you know

you can only, you can't, you're never going to change someone's mind like that.

I talked about this with Jim Gaffigan this week on Stu Desmond.

Oh, man, that guy is.

And I look, I love Gaffigan.

I love the guy.

I think he's hilarious.

I think he's a legend, right?

I think he's a great comedian.

And he's gone for years and years and years avoiding politics because as he said.

And that was a good idea.

Right.

As he said.

It was a really good idea.

It was a good idea.

And what he said was, like, I know no one wants to hear about politics from me.

I'm not changing any minds.

Right.

Right.

Which is true.

So one day he has this sort of like, ah, screw it.

I don't care anymore.

I got to say something.

Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is too important.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And then he rants on social media.

So now he's pissed off about half of his fans.

A good chunk of them will never go back to listening to him again for any reason.

I'm not going to.

I mean, I don't.

I can.

I don't care, honestly.

Like,

every comedian or actor or whatever sports celebrity, I assume, are just mega-knit insane liberals.

That's a good assumption.

But I didn't assume that about Jim Gaffigan.

I didn't assume that.

I kind of thought, I mean, if you listen to his, if you listen closely to him, I think what he actually is, is a Midwestern Democrat.

Like, I don't think he, I don't think if this was, I don't know, Marco Rubio running right now, I don't think this happens.

I think he's one of these people who's been broken by the Trump era, right?

Not Trump's fault, but like these people who are on the left cannot be rational around Donald Trump.

It's impossible for them.

It's impossible for them.

And so this is what he is right now, which is not only, I think it's interesting to note that not only is it a waste for him and his career, like it will, I mean, he's a big enough guy that he'll probably be hurt by this, but it's not going to destroy his career, I don't think.

But what I think on the other side of that is, which is much more important for us, because Jim Gaffigan's got millions of dollars already.

He's going to be taken care of for a very long time.

Much more important for us is to realize how we felt as he was tweeting those things.

Did it move us toward toward Joe Biden?

No.

No.

Moved us away from Joe Biden.

The more important thing to understand here is how ineffective this tactic is.

This tactic of just screaming and ranting and raving like an insane person and saying to everyone who's on the other side, hey, idiots, you're a bunch of morons.

You know, this guy's a thief, a liar, a scam artist, whatever.

It doesn't work.

Forget the fact that it's dumb and it's wrong and all of the other things.

It's also just not effective.

What the hell is it's driven us closer to Trump.

Right.

It's made us less weary of the, well, he's not right here.

Or, but, you know, the boy, he said that wrong.

It's like, so.

Yeah.

And like, well, when we're all around each other, you know, vent all you want, right?

But if you're actually trying to convince someone, which he obviously was, which he obviously was.

This is just not the way to do it.

It actually works against you.

And the funny thing about

Gaffigan, and you made this point, Pat, is you didn't know what his politics were.

And he was a very effective communicator, which is probably if he would have utilized

his own platform to talk about these things in a way that was still friendly, he's actually capable of doing it.

He is one of these few people who actually could probably convince.

Maybe he should have used this voice.

Yeah.

Fuck Donald Trump.

Maybe that would have been more effective, huh?

Maybe.

I'm at that point now where it's like: anyone I like who I know is a liberal,

I've muted them in my brain until November 4th.

They're all insane right now.

They are incapable of having a normal conversation.

They are incapable of having a rational thought.

I just, I'll mute them until November 4th and then check back in.

Yeah.

You know, that's a good way to do it and think about it.

But then on the same

hand, you're looking forward to sports.

firing back up or at least football firing back up.

And we saw that where that's going to be in our face

for the present.

With the NFL, it will be.

Really bad.

It's going to be ugly with the NFL.

It's going to be bad.

It's going to be the first weekend of the NFL.

First weekend of the NFL, though, it's going to be ugly.

Yeah.

Ugly.

And, you know,

I think I'm just going to avoid the first weekend.

And I don't know what's going to happen with college football.

I mean, we're looking like we're going to have some kind of season, whether it be abbreviated or not, but all the teams, all the players are on board.

I don't know that they get away with it as much as the NFL will, but

it's going to be in your face.

So, how do you mute that?

It's tough because

we always bust on Glenn because Glenn's first response whenever an athlete does something annoying is to come at us and go, oh, why are you still watching it?

What do you not care about America?

Yeah, you go to every movie.

And here's Glenn Beck, who goes to literally every movie that comes out with every Hollywood celebrity, and all they do is rant and rave about politics.

And then in every movie is actually the point of the movie: how bad conservatives are.

But he'll go to every one of them.

And I just, you know, his point is, you know,

as we point out that inconsistency, usually what we do is we change the topic.

But what my point here is that, like, you really can't micromanage this.

You have to realize that not only in entertainment, every business you go into, you're doing business with people who are insane liberals.

Every restaurant you go to, one of the cooks who's back there is an insane liberal who thinks Black Lives Matter should,

should take over the government and Antifa is number one in their hearts.

And you don't necessarily know it, but it's happening literally everywhere you go.

This is civilization.

This is capitalism, really.

It's the point of you don't have to know and trust every person you do business with.

That's the brilliance of capitalism.

You just, you have currency, you exchange it with them, everyone does their little job, and you move on with your freaking life.

And there's things that I really enjoy about sports.

That would be nice if that actually happened.

I know.

Wouldn't it?

I enjoy sports.

I'm not going to let some dumb player player who hasn't thought about any of these issues take it away from me.

I'm not letting them make that decision for me.

I understand why a lot of people are like that.

And I, you know, of course, respect you.

You know, if you're not getting enjoyment out of it because it's so in your face, then you leave.

But like for me, I can just turn it off when they're blabbing about this stuff.

I'll mute it.

I don't have to listen to it.

I know these issues.

This is what I do for work.

I don't need to hear it from some stupid player who's never looked at an FBI crime report.

I just don't need it.

You know, like, I'm sorry.

You know, we have this thing.

Learn, then protest in that order.

Wow, that's crazy.

Learn, then protest.

Another one.

Learn, then vote in that order.

That's funny that you say that because I started a campaign this week on chewing the fat because they talked about people clicking on links that they get text to them and then it, you know, it impermeates your phone.

And you just get everything.

And they're saying, you know, don't click on those.

I thought I started a campaign.

Think before you link.

What do you think?

Ah, Jeff.

Come on now.

Yeah.

That's a campaign I can give you.

Isn't that going to hurt your side business of spyware?

No.

No.

Okay.

So

people aren't going to do it.

Process again.

How do you do first?

I want everyone to listen to this because this is really complicated.

Learn.

Learn.

Then protest.

Then protest.

I don't protest and then learn.

No, it's got to be this order.

No.

Learn.

Really?

Then vote.

Huh.

Wow.

Think

Before you link.

Powerful.

It's powerful.

I know.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Think about it.

It's Batten Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

The first major movie since COVID-19 comes out today.

Tennis.

At least it goes white.

It was already released here in the DFW area.

It's been playing for, I think, about a week here.

I think that was a pre-release.

They did that thing where they're like, previous screenings.

It's not out, but you can go see it at any theater.

Yeah.

Please weird.

But it costs $200 million to make.

And they're thinking like $15 to 25 would be a good weekend.

15 to 25 bucks?

15 to 25 million.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Now, Pat and I went to a movie

in early May, I think it was.

Yeah, yes.

It was right after the governor said you could open up movie theater.

Yes, you did.

And there's one theater opened up around here.

These poor people who actually,

they owned real estate and rented out.

a theater to, I think it was Regal.

And the lease ran out and they're like, you know what?

Let's start our own theater company in January 2020.

So they were like,

we'll open up and show anything.

And they did show anything.

A really terrible Vin Diesel movie that we went to go see as soon as they opened up the theater so bad.

That was a death-defying situation.

I don't know how much it was.

Well, nobody else was in the theater.

That might have helped.

In any of the theaters, might have helped.

It was just us and this guy who owned the theater.

It was really sad.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

yeah we're just talking about the whole covet situation which is like you know it's an interesting thing with this movie coming out they're saying that the it's a dangerous activity to go to a theater still it's high risk it's high risk it's in the red they have a color code that came out in a recent study that says that this is in the red even if you're silent though obviously silent is is more is better than a loud protest where you're screaming at someone on an outdoor eatery with your mask on.

But, you know, if you it's one of those things where all you can,

I think a lot of people are like, well, if

Nancy Pelosi can go out without a mask on, I can do whatever I want.

And it's like, well, no,

you can.

You can, but

it would be better to take steps and lower your risk.

That doesn't mean you eliminate it.

You can't eliminate it.

Glenn got it on the middle of a ranch in Idaho, we think.

Also, he brought 400 people over his house, but that's a whole different.

It's not impossible to get it, right?

Um, right, but you can do the things that you're comfortable with, and I wish, I wish the government would be more

on that vibe of just saying, like, look, take the steps you can.

We have more radio show here in just a second with new unemployment numbers.

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

New unemployment numbers

have come out.

Pretty interesting.

What's going on?

We'll share those with you coming up in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So, no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on: new music, new podcasts.

So we got some pretty good economic news.

How dare you?

Pretty good.

No.

No.

No.

No, I mean, pretty bad.

Pretty bad.

Pretty bad economic news.

Horrible news.

Just terrible.

Terrible news.

All news is terrible until November 4th.

Don't you know that?

I do know that.

That's the rule in the media.

That's the one we have to hit.

And then it's still going to be terrible depending on who wins.

It depends on who wins.

Yes.

Now, it could still be terrible until January 20th-ish.

That's what I'm saying.

I love hearing that, too.

We might not know until

inauguration day.

We might not even know then.

Okay.

All this stuff has a political angle to it.

People were like, you know, Trump's like,

the Trump administration has asked all states to be ready for the vaccine on November 1st.

All right.

Okay.

I love that.

It's funny because now the left is all anti-vaccine.

All of a sudden, everyone on the left has become anti-vaccine because Donald Trump is working on a vaccine.

Now he's not in the laboratories.

I don't know if they know that.

He's helping to coordinate the efforts, which have been pretty impressive on this.

But it does not mean that he's going to be actually, he's not going to be injecting you.

If you're in the left right now, don't worry about it.

Don's not going to your house with a needle.

Okay.

Okay.

So it just says a relief.

So the unemployment numbers are out.

And it is really interesting.

Tell me, let me give you this premise first, Pat, and you tell me if you think this is a legitimate premise.

The election

is coming in November.

That part I think you'd agree with.

We lost a bunch of jobs because of the coronavirus situation, and we're bouncing back now.

If Donald Trump can bounce that back to the levels we were at before the coronavirus, he's likely to be elected.

I would think.

Because that would be incredible.

That would be the view.

If this was just a, and again, a lot of people have died.

I'm not minimizing the COVID situation at all.

But

if what we have here is a situation that we're hit out of nowhere with a global pandemic, the worst one we've seen in 100 years, and our economy has bounced back to full levels or close to full levels within

eight months, seven months,

that is a really good case for the president to make.

Like, the president can say that is, he will have a good argument to make to the American people at that time.

And so, we're seeing these numbers come in now, and there is a bounce back.

Will it get to those levels?

I don't know.

Let me give you a couple of

numbers here, Pat.

Let's go back to a year ago.

This is the unemployment rate every month: 3.5, 3.6, 3.5, 3.5.

Let me go into 2020: 3.6, 3.5, March, 4.4.

April, 14.7.

So 14.7 is

a big jump.

10 points in one month.

That was huge.

May drops from 14.7 to 13.3.

And by the way, keep in mind, we thought it was going to keep going up.

Yeah.

It might hit 20 or 30%, is what they were saying.

Yeah.

I mean,

when 14.7 came out, there were a lot of calls of north of 20%.

Yeah.

Predictions.

Did not come to pass.

14.7 in April.

Instead, it went down.

Right.

13.3 in May, 11.1 in June,

10.2 in July.

And today's today's number came out just a few hours ago, 8.4%.

8.4%.

Now, 8.4%.

That's high.

High.

We were just talking about 3.536, right?

But when was it 8.4% last?

This is fascinating.

And just trying to think.

8.4 to me still feels really high for an unemployment rate, right?

But not after 14.7.

Not after 14.7, but it still seems like, okay, we've still got a ways to create.

Well, the last time we had an 8.4% unemployment rate was actually 8.5%

in December 2011.

What I thought was fascinating, Pat, is if you look at this exact,

we've had, we had Barack Obama for two terms, right?

Yep.

And then we have

Donald Trump, and Donald Trump comes in, and he's running for a re-election.

So if we look at the exact

same time in Barack Obama's presidency, we'd be a few months before his election in 2012.

If you go back to the exact same month, August 2012, as compared to August 2020, now remember, no coronavirus in August 2012.

In August 2020, the unemployment rate is 8.4%.

In August 2012, it was 8.1%.

So he's running

right now as

an identical unemployment rate as the brilliant economy of Barack Obama that was praised universally.

Should be talking about that.

Somebody should be talking about that.

And you know what?

Next month, he's going to be ahead, probably.

Because if this continues to improve, the next month, September 2012, it was 7.8.

Same with October for Barack Obama going into

7.8%.

Well, and you remember at its highest when it peaked, and it was before the election campaign.

I think it was in 2010, maybe 2011, somewhere in there.

And it was, if I remember correctly, 9.8%.

Yeah, 9.9 in

March and April of 2010.

And what did he say about that?

Well, at least it's not 13 or 14 or 10.

Right.

15%.

Yep.

It's not 15%.

And that was when we came up with the whole metric of created and saved jobs.

Remember that?

Yes.

The created or saved jobs metric.

Which we were like, wait a minute, what is that metric?

Well, you just invented that out of thin air.

Which they did.

Which they did.

So 8.4%.

Now, that's, look, we still, that means we still have a ways to go, but we are going in the right track.

Let me give you the job loss numbers here.

So this is, you know, we bounced around

flat here for a while.

So, we had, let me see, I'm going to look this up real quick, pull this up for you.

So, this is

labor force participation rate.

Give you this.

So, we're at,

here we go.

Sorry,

I'm looking at a bunch of different stats here at the same time.

Okay, here we go.

Job losses and gains.

This is the easiest one for people to understand.

Is this the one where we were getting like two, three hundred thousand people

per month?

So you have

this is people going back to work,

getting jobs.

Here we go.

So this is going back to September again of 2019.

Gained 208,000 jobs, 185,000 jobs gained plus 261, plus 184.

So times are really good.

We're doing hundreds of thousands every month.

Solid numbers.

Yeah.

Plus 214 plus 251.

That's February 2020.

Then the coronavirus thing kicks in.

We go minus 1.4 million.

Now that number is massive, minus 1.4 million.

Massive.

But

there were forced closures everywhere.

Exactly, which is why April is a little uglier than March.

So minus

1.4 million in March, minus 20.8 million.

Yeah, that was a shock to the system.

20.8 million.

Almost 21 million people in a month.

Yeah.

So, I mean, that is, that's rough.

However, that's a body blow right there to the economy.

Then you go plus 2.7 million in May.

So right after the 20 million lost, the next month we gained.

We gained.

How many?

2.7 million.

Wow.

Which, again, 2.7 million would be ⁇ there's this ridiculous thing, both sides going back and forth, where the left is saying, this is the worst year ever.

And the Republicans are now starting to say, this was the best month ever.

And it's like, well...

Both of those are ridiculous, right?

Like,

we're bouncing back, and that's great,

but we had a lot of room to bounce back.

And the idea that you're going to point this as like, oh, this economy is crashing.

I can't believe Donald Trump.

I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a little thing we're dealing with right now called a pandemic.

It's kind of a big deal.

So we go minus 20.8 million in April, then plus 2.7 million jobs in May, then plus 4.8 million in June.

Wow.

Then in July, plus 1.7 million.

And in August, plus 1.4 million.

That's the new number.

So the job losses in March and April were 22.1 million.

The job gains since then have been 10.6 million.

We've gotten almost half

halfway there so far.

Wow.

Now, the negative look at that is to say it's slowing, right?

We went 4.8 million, 1.7, 1.3 in the last three months.

So it is, the rate is slowing.

And if it doesn't pick up,

we are not going to get back to

full by November, which is a ridiculous.

I mean, that would be incredible, to be honest.

I don't expect

if you can show

the economy recovery that they're looking for.

that would be it would be inarguable right if they could get back that would be nice to have an inarguable point yes that would be nice i don't think we're going to get all the way there he's got two more months trump's got two more months because remember we will not have november numbers by the election obviously it will still be in november um however i i think i think we get october uh maybe we'll even have october numbers he at least has one more month of september now that'll come out that thursday right we'll have uh so that'll be tuesday it'll it will be after right because it's it's the first Tuesday after the election.

So he's got one more month here.

He could probably tack on a couple million more.

And he will have the weekly reports that will have come in before the election.

So I'll have an argument as to, but probably what you're looking at, if we're looking at this realistically, he's probably, Donald Trump is probably going to be telling you the night before the election that he's brought back between 60 and 70 percent of these jobs.

Which is great.

Really.

Which is, look, it's up to you.

The problem is, some of the businesses that were forced into being shut down are not coming back.

And so, neither are those jobs.

No, so you've lost already in New Jersey, you lost 30% of all restaurants.

And they're thinking that might go to 50%

before it's done.

And

New York still isn't open for indoor dining yet.

So you've got all those restaurants struggling to make ends meet on 25% of outdoor

area being filled every day.

Well, that's not enough for these guys to make ends meet.

Of course not.

So that's why.

And this is the thing I keep coming back to.

The problem, a big problem with this economic argument is that so much of it is in the hands of one of the worst people in our society, Nancy Pelosi.

Yeah.

Because we had, obviously, we all understand,

even most libertarians I've talked to about this understand and agree that when the government comes to you and says you need to stay home for a couple months, the government needs to step in and make that right.

It's almost, it's closer to,

it's closer to a eminent domain situation than it is a bailout, right?

It's basically saying, we're going to take this from you.

We're going to take two months of your work.

Here's your compensation.

And when that's forced on you by the government, then the government's responsibility is to you to make that right.

Almost everyone agrees that should be,

for a short time.

Not forever, but for a time, there should be some sort of some sort of

government exchange.

So that happened, and it did protect, obviously.

There's some ability to be able to just pay your way out of these problems for a short time.

So that's what we did.

We spent trillions of dollars to make it so it was only 20 million people who were losing their jobs and not 70.

Right.

So

that has happened.

It is also now expiring.

If you were on unemployment, you know this.

If you're one of those 20 million people, you know this, right?

Where you lost your job.

The unemployment, they gave you the $600 a week bonus, basically, to cover the fact that they told you that you had to lose your job.

And that has now run out.

If you were a small business, they gave you money to bridge the gap here.

That has now run out.

And not everybody got it.

And not everybody got it anyway.

It was not well run anyway.

It was, you know, it was thrown together.

It's the government.

That's how they do things.

That's what happens.

Not well.

So now that's all expired.

The Republicans and Democrats both say that it should continue, obviously.

And

now Nancy Pelosi isn't even, I mean, she's not even negotiating about it because she knows she holds this in her hands.

And if you are one of these people who think that Nancy Pelosi cares so much about people that she won't destroy the economy for a couple of months to get Donald Trump out of office.

Of course she would.

Of course she would, right?

Like, I don't even, I don't know that there's a hesitation in me that says that Nancy Pelosi would, if she's going to have a choice

between potentially helping Donald Trump's election and hurting millions of people,

not every Democrat I would say this about.

Nancy Pelosi, I absolutely say it about.

She would much more

prefer.

She doesn't want the economy to come back.

Not until November.

She doesn't want the jobs to come back.

She may, you know, right.

Not until November, at least.

Right.

If they win, she'll be happy to try to bring them back.

But this is something where basically Republicans are agreeing with Democrats.

Yeah, I know, we got to throw trillions of dollars at this problem.

And so these numbers may get worse because of what is happening with this government program.

Again, like, we all realize this is not sustainable.

We can't just pay our way out of this forever.

But

to try to bridge this gap is important.

And I, you know, look, she doesn't want to do it because she knows it's going to help Donald Trump.

So either one thing, one of two things are going to happen.

She's either going to not

further this government program, which is going to obviously hurt in the short term, or she is going to extract such severe penalties and ask for such crazy crap that

we may not want to sign it anyway.

Yeah.

So, it's a tough spot for Republicans right now.

Hey, it's Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Back Program, 888-727, B-E-C-K.

Just looking at

some of the coverage of President Trump's campaigning.

It's interesting to me that everywhere he goes, He doesn't wear a mask.

And I think that's just an in-your-face to people

that maybe doesn't need to be there because if you just wore a mask, you just take that one argument away from them.

Right.

And it's like, I don't want to wear a mask either, but I do

where it's required, like to go to a restaurant, I put on the stupid mask, keep it in my car, put it on before I go into church because they require it.

So I don't freak everybody out in there.

Like, I don't, I wouldn't wear it if everybody wasn't going to be freaked out, but I don't want to freak people out.

So, you know, they're going to accuse you of killing their grandmother if you're not wearing a mask.

It's just not worth it to me.

But to him, I think he's just making that point, just jabbing the Democrats a little bit.

I think so too.

I mean, you could argue, I think, correctly, that probably the person who needs to wear,

in any given situation, needs to wear it least is Trump because a lot of times people are tested around him.

You know, everyone around him is tested pretty much every day.

So it's, you know, it's a little bit of a blown, you know, blown out of proportion argument with the president.

They're like, well, why isn't he wearing a mask at a speech?

Well, I don't know.

He's at a podium.

He's by himself.

He's outside.

Everyone around him is tested every day.

And when you're speaking, you're going to take the mask off.

You're going to take it off, right?

I would say, like, should they have everyone in the audience wearing masks?

I mean, probably.

I just don't, I don't know what the upside of that is, but I guess they're just saying, hey, you know, do what you want to do.

And I guess this is where I think I.

The mask thing is interesting.

It really bothers some people.

Really bothers them.

I will say, when it's 105 degrees outside in Texas,

I just wouldn't go to a place where they required me to wear a mask

because it's too hot.

But it doesn't, in normal circumstances, walking around the grocery store, it honestly doesn't even, it's annoying at some level, mostly because I keep forgetting it.

It's not that big a deal.

It's not that big of a deal.

Now, some people, they're, oh, well, I have this ailment or that ailment.

Well, then I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about people who, the average person, it's a little bit of an annoyance, but it's not the most worst thing in the world.

That's where I am with it.

Yeah.

It's an annoyance, but I'll do it because I don't want to make a big thing out of it.

I think, though, it's just become this weird cultural statement.

It has.

That, like, if you wear a mask, that means you're this, like, you know, you're on the right, you're this wuss, and on the left, you are God.

And it's like, well,

this is not a sensible way of handling this, is it?

Like,

the media has done a real, I think, a real disservice by prioritizing the mask over all other things to the extent that I would think if you're on the left right now, you think that if you wear a mask, you cannot get it.

You're completely safe.

You're completely safe.

And that's completely untrue.

True.

It does show, like, there's a couple things where it does seem to help.

It seems to cut the spread.

By about 30%.

By about 30%

in a worst case scenario.

So it might be a little more than that in a normal scenario.

However.

But that's not huge.

No, it's not huge.

But it's significant.

It's not nothing.

I mean, that's 30% is a big difference, even if it's just 30%.

Some studies have shown more than that.

The other side of that, though, is it seems to

lessen the symptoms.

So, like, you might get it, but you might not get it as badly, as bad a case, because you're not getting the viral load that you would get without the mask.

Both of those are arguments for it.

If, if, you know, you have some ailment where you can't wear a mask, well, then, you know, you can't wear it, right?

Right.

But, like, it does not mean you will not get it.

And the media has made this case.

It's like, well, you're a good person and you'll be healthy if you wear a mask.

And you're a bad person and you'll die if you don't.

And that sort of ridiculous reporting has really hurt the situation, I think.

Yeah, it's just divided America, too.

It really has.

888-727-BECK.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So summer is still around and based on the way that 2020 has been going so far, it'll probably be around for another, I don't know, eight or nine months, I would imagine.

It'll probably probably be around forever.

One of the things that everybody likes to do that makes the summer actually enjoyable, even in 2020's summer, is grilling out.

Well, if you could grill out all year long, wouldn't that be amazing?

It's true if you're a proud owner of a RekTech with its solid stainless steel technology and its great build.

And they also have this smart grill thing.

We've talked about this, Pat.

Smart Grill technology.

You can

basically go on your phone with an app and have everything done for you.

So even when it gets cold outside, you're going to be able to grill outside.

That's going to be amazing.

Best of all, while you are having your RekTech out there doing all the work, you can be wherever you want to be, controlling the perfect temperature from an app on your phone.

RekTech, it's sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time.

Promo code Big Tech.

Patton Stuford Glenn, now on the Glenn Back program, 888727B ECK, The Atlantic, has written

just an amazing article on President Trump, of course,

making him look,

this might make him look as bad as anything I've read,

because supposedly he's saying super disrespectful things about

American soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II and are buried in France.

Now, I don't believe this article.

I don't believe this for a second.

When he was in France in 2018,

he was supposed to go to one of the cemeteries where the American soldiers are interred.

And

supposedly it was raining.

And so the helicopter couldn't fly.

Now, they say that's not true.

That was just an excuse he used.

And then he said the Secret Service refused to drive him there.

And they're saying that's not true.

But what they're saying is true is that President Trump said, why should I go to that cemetery?

It's filled with losers.

Come on.

I don't believe for a second that Donald Trump said that about American soldiers buried in France.

That.

I just, there's no way.

And then

they try to spin this as, see, there's evidence that he's done this because look how he talked about John McCain.

Well, John McCain was an adversary for one thing.

He didn't like John McCain.

John McCain didn't like him.

They both said really bad things about each other.

Yes.

And Trump, obviously, famously at the beginning of the campaign, you know, said that,

you know, why is he such a hero?

You know, what was it?

I respect people who don't get captured.

I like people who don't get caught or don't get captured.

You know, and he went back and forth with McCain and said all sorts of things about McCain.

Donald Trump is capable of saying something bad about any individual he doesn't like.

The idea that Donald Trump is sitting around saying, generally speaking, troops that have died in service

are losers is, I just don't believe it.

Losers and suckers.

Now, total honestly.

One thing I do know about, and we all know about, I think, Donald Trump, is he loves his country and he loves the military.

Yeah.

There's no way he would have said this about American troops.

It's completely.

Now, look, he obviously throws things out a lot that are not necessarily the greatest idea, you know, as far as, you know, he gets in trouble, he gets himself in trouble.

He creates a lot of his own problems.

We all know this.

But I mean, the idea that behind the scenes he's sitting here bashing troops as losers is completely inconsistent with

everything we know about Donald Trump.

I understand that he calls kind of everybody losers, and this is going to be believable to anyone on the left who already hates him, right?

And, you know, the Atlantic, the Biden campaign is already leaning into this.

They're doing a, they did a

conference call with, you left-wing veterans organization.

Tammy Duckworth was on the call.

Oh, boys.

They're going to try to lean it.

They're going to put Tammy Duckworth now out there saying,

I fought for this country.

I'm not a loser.

All this is going to happen now.

They're just going to act as if this is true.

It's ridiculous.

There's been multiple people who have come out on the record and say this is not true from the administration, but there's no way to disprove that someone said something in private when you don't tell us who's...

You're not giving us the source of this comment,

right?

You're not telling us who said it.

You're not telling us enough detail to figure out who said it.

And everyone who was there that we know was there is saying he didn't say it.

So I don't see what you can take out of this in reality.

The difference is, of course, the left is depending on something that isn't real, right?

They're going to try to just promote him as some troop hater, which

come on.

I mean, you think the military's falling for this?

You think our troops are falling for this?

If you're in the military out there, are you falling for this?

I can't imagine most people who are trying to make their mind up are going to be fooled by this it's really going to be more of a left-wing fundraising situation than anything else because there's no

come on come on

i honestly if you would have ran this story with someone who is very anti-military in that's a democrat in uh in our government i wouldn't believe it Let alone Donald Trump, whose like main thing he's tried to do over the past couple of years is have a giant military parade in Washington, D.C.

Like the guy, like of all things you're going to accuse him of being anti-troop, it's just silly.

It's just silly.

Plus, he's increased their budgets, he's increased their pay multiple times.

I mean, the guy, his actions, and we've said this a million times, don't pay attention to what he says, pay attention to what he does.

And what he has done regarding the military has been incredibly positive.

He's really tried to restore the military to where it needs to be and where it should be because Barack Obama did everything he could to tear down the military and to

defund them.

So, yeah, it's really hard to believe that he would call them losers and suckers.

But they say he has a lot of fear.

He doesn't see heroism in fighting.

Several observers told me that Trump is deeply anxious about dying or being disfigured, and this worry manifests itself as disgust for those who have suffered.

Okay, so we're going into this deep psychological situation that they don't know anything about.

They will do and say

anything to remove him from office.

Anything.

And they're doing that.

It's incredible.

They've lost any

connection with these general principles of journalism, of fairness, of honesty.

Here's what you do.

If you're a journalist, this is a quick little,

let me give you a masterclass.

You know, the master class ads you see all the time on Instagram?

There's a Stubergeer masterclass on journalism.

Here's how it goes.

If you have someone who's saying something like this that is totally against

the premise,

the idea of

the public-facing idea

of who a person is, and they're making this absolutely ridiculous accusation that the president behind closed doors said something,

have them name themselves.

If you've got four people, get one of them to say who the hell they are.

I understand that sometimes people do things off record, and that's an important part of journalism.

But with something like this, that's not even policy-based.

It's just like, this guy's a bad guy.

Can you come up with one person who could back it up?

Four unnamed sources?

Like, do we even know if they had four unnamed sources?

At this point, with the way the media is acting right now, I would question whether they even had anyone.

Now, maybe they have someone.

Maybe they have four people who say it.

I don't know because you could easily have four people who would make it up, right?

This is the problem with unnamed sourcing.

We don't know who these people are.

We don't know if they just hated Trump from the beginning.

We don't know any of it.

But I mean, you can get some value from unnamed sources in certain circumstances.

Just like, hey, this guy trashes the military

when you're not around listening, he's trashing the military.

It's not even a news story, right?

If you have something on record, then give it to me.

If you don't,

it's not even journalism.

It's just a bunch of, it's just a bunch of rumors.

That's all this is.

And they're rumors that are against everything we know about this guy.

If you were to tell me that Donald Trump behind closed doors was saying offensive things about some hot woman who passed by, I might believe that, right?

That doesn't mean it's journalism, but at least it's consistent with some of the stuff he's done in his life.

And you turn this around, you know, like on every topic.

You turn this around and make it about Barack Obama.

If we started saying that Barack Obama said these things behind closed doors and then acted as if it was absolute fact and spread it around, they'd be calling you racist.

Yeah.

And irresponsible and a conspiracy theorist and everything else that they could possibly think of.

Just another election tactic.

It is.

And I don't know.

Does this stuff move anybody at this point?

I feel like

probably those who hate him are going to hate him even more.

And like, we're not going to believe it.

So, you're probably right.

I think you've hit on that exactly right, Pat, is that this is a tactic that is largely aimed to suck money out of the left.

This is not a tactic necessarily aimed at you who might be on the right or you who might be undecided or maybe leaning one way or the other.

This is to suck money out of, you know, the

typical resistance member that you know, the person who's tweeting every day about how bad Donald Trump is, it's to remove more money from them, which, in that sense, I don't necessarily mind.

Go ahead, lie and take all their money.

The problem is, they're, of course, going to use it in this election, and this is

just a tactic, though.

This is not, I mean,

this is not journalism.

By the way, this is the place that fired, and the guy who fired Kevin Williamson after hiring him after a week

because they found in his history he was

pro-life.

So

you got that going on for you.

He was controversial about keeping babies alive.

And he got fired for a week for that.

But we can just throw these things out there.

And I don't know.

Is it possible that he said something like this?

Well, this is what they're trying to get to people.

They're trying to get, well, maybe, maybe he did.

Maybe he didn't.

Just put that doubt in your mind.

Exactly.

Just a little bit of doubt.

I don't think this one's even possible.

Give me a name on record, then we'll talk about it.

At that point, we'll talk about it.

But even with that, you're still talking about a rumor, but at least it would be a rumor with a name next to it.

You think we'll get to the debates?

You think the debates are actually going to happen?

Are they going to find a way to weasel Joe Biden out of these?

I tend to think they are going to happen.

I hope so.

I can't

help but think that's going to do a world of good for Donald Trump.

That is definitely where I that seems to be the strategy, right?

You know, you do what you can, keep this thing as close as you can, and in the debates, you crush him.

Now, look, Biden has had good debate performances in his life.

I bet, not in 2020, though.

Not in 2020.

He did not have a good debate.

Really, not one good one in 2020.

No, he looked lost even then.

Yeah, and he's gotten worse since those debates.

It seems to.

It seems to.

Now, back he's had, he had a decent performance against Palin back in the day.

He had a decent performance against Paul Ryan, even though, again, his tactics in both of those were

incredibly dishonest and awful.

Laugh at him.

Yeah.

Total opposite against Palin, though.

Palin was very like he held, he stood back.

He stayed calm and rational.

Against Ryan, he he was attack, attack, attack, attack.

He plays his roles.

I mean, Biden is a professional politician.

He's been doing this for 50 years.

So he knows what he's doing in this realm.

And I think he looks at it this, I just need to survive this moment.

He doesn't need to win.

You know what?

I was thinking about this.

If I'm a Biden strategist right now, if I was the Biden campaign today, what I would be doing is I would be sending Kamala Harris all over the country and raising money.

and doing all that, have her take care of that sort of stuff.

And what I would do is I would take five different people that were incredibly familiar with Donald Trump and had really studied him, five different ones.

And every day I would rotate through a different Donald Trump impersonator, not impersonator like we're trying to do his voice, but someone who understands his style.

So you'd have multiple different takes on where he might go.

And I would do mock debates every single day.

Every day I would be there against a new person who had a different take on Donald Trump.

So it would be really difficult.

You would have experienced every situation.

You know, everything that Trump could throw at you, you'd be at least prepared for.

And I would insert crazy things in there.

Stuff that's totally out of the realm of normal possibility.

Because that will happen.

He could try.

He needs to be prepared for everything.

And it's like, that's what I would be doing my time.

I wouldn't have him out here speaking.

None of this matters.

Hide until these debates happen, but you need to perform well in those debates.

Now, I don't think, I don't, what's interesting and the reason why I think the debates will happen is because I think,

look, we keep saying Joe Biden is out of it.

Joe Biden, all these people are telling him what to do, and he's basically a puppet at this point.

I think that bothers Biden.

Oh, big time.

Biden's been doing this for 50 years.

He was vice president of the United States for eight years, and it ended only a few years ago.

You know, only 2017 in January.

He was still vice president of the United States.

And I think in Joe Biden's heart, he believes if I had run in 2016, I would have beat Donald Trump.

He does believe that.

So this is a guy who, when his people come to him and say, just don't say anything.

Just don't debate.

Just stay out of his way.

It's insulting him and it pisses him off, just like the Hunter stuff pisses him off.

It's under his skin, and he's still, like, we could say he's still the candidate.

He still is the guy who makes the decision at the end of the day.

And I think he is.

Screw you guys.

I'll go out there, debate him, and I'll kick his ass.

I think that's what Biden thinks.

And it's going to make him vulnerable.

Even though Nancy Pelosi tried to help him out and said, don't tell Joe I said this because he'll be really mad.

But there should be no debates.

And you saw his reaction to that.

It was like,

shut up, basically.

Like, I'm the candidate.

I'll decide if I want to do these debates.

And he wants to do them.

He wants to prove to everyone.

You know, he's like that boxer who's ahead on points and wants to come out and try to knock the guy out in the last round and winds up getting hit with a right cross.

You know, that is who Biden is.

And everyone in his corner is saying, just stay away.

It's

Apollo Creed, just stay the hell away from him.

Don't let him hit you.

And you know, there's Rocky Balbo with a big left.

I mean, that is really where, where, at least, they see

that they are right now.

And I think Biden wants to talk his way into a knockout.

And that's dangerous, man.

And we'll see what happens.

September 29th is the first one, just a little over three weeks away.

Incredible.

Incredible.

I mean, we're now, what, two-thirds of the way through the baseball season?

Yeah.

Like, that came.

I mean, it's only 60 games, but it's there.

Football.

Have you paid much attention?

Have you paid your usual attention to the baseball season?

You know, as a fan of America's team, the Toronto Blue Jays,

expanded playoffs mean we've got a shot this year.

So I am kind of aware of that.

So you are paying attention?

Do they still have a shot there?

Yeah, they're currently in the playoffs.

A little bit to do with the fact that they've added some of the game.

Meaning if the playoffs were held today, they'd be in them.

Yes.

Okay.

They still have 20 games left, though.

I have paid zero attention to Major League Baseball this year.

Yeah, you know.

I've paid the exact same amount of attention to the NBA.

The NBA is the hardest one to watch.

As someone who's tried to watch these sports, the NBA is just a left-wing political organization.

That's unwatchable.

It's unwatchable.

Baseball, you know, it's not nearly as much in your face.

I think the NFL will be in your face for the first week.

At least they seem to be telling you that it's going to be only the first week.

We'll see how that goes.

Yeah.

We'll see how that goes.

Fingers crossed.

I know.

Well, you should just boycott it.

Why don't you just watch it?

Well,

no.

If the Eagles go 0-8, then I'll start boycotting.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Sebastian Gorker here with another pain relief testimonial for Relief Actor.

This is the Glenn Best Program

with Patton Stew, 888 727B ECK.

Fascinating.

They actually found the guy who killed that Trump supporter last week, just

walked up to him and executed him in the street for no reason other than he's a Trump supporter.

The guy who said, I'm 100% Antifa.

Well, they found him and

it wasn't a good outcome for him when he met up with police.

We'll get into that.

Also, he apparently did an interview with Vice.

somewhere sometime between when he shot the guy and killed him and when he himself was killed by police last night.

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

this is the glenn beck program

so if you look at some of these antifa members you might recognize that they have uh some shaving issues maybe they should start doing it more uh i don't know when it became so complicated you know you see these sort of commercials for all sorts of products claiming that they're going to make your shaving experience better when all they really do is clutter up your bathroom wouldn't it be nice if you just have one product instead of all these soaps and gels and foams and all the stuff they want you to buy?

Well, good news, Shave Secret has got you covered.

So, the Antifa member,

100% Antifa, who shot and killed the Trump supporter the other day, was himself shot and killed last night when police caught up to him.

And apparently, he went for the gun, and I guess he was going to have a shootout with police, and he was on the losing end of that.

So, we lost him.

We lost him.

But Weiss interviewed him.

Obviously, before that happened, he had some interesting things to say.

Here's what he said.

Lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn't even be saying anything, but I feel it's important that the world at least gets a little bit of what's really going on because there's been a lot of propaganda put out there.

I had no choice.

I mean, I had a choice.

I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color.

What?

But I wasn't going to do that.

not what was happening.

He had no choice.

Who was he going to kill?

They were just standing there on the street corner.

As far as I know, they were both unarmed, right?

Yeah, there's some potential.

So earlier on in the day, they were shooting paintballs.

You see this footage where the Trump guys were in the back of the truck and they were shooting paintballs at some of the protesters.

And they were spraying, I guess they were saying it was pepper spray out of the back at some of the protesters.

It appears in one of the videos that the person who was killed may have sprayed a little pepper spray in the direction.

You don't die from that, though.

That's not

mean, like, it's just an excuse, right?

He's

trying to say that he was innocent and was defending himself when clearly he was not.

Clearly not.

It was just a murder.

Yes.

And this is what happens.

And

you hear

his friend or compatriot say,

there's a couple of them right here.

There's a couple right here.

And then almost immediately you hear the gunshots.

Yep.

And they kill him.

There's no

just really

amazing.

And I will say this again, because it's seemingly lost in the news coverage of these events.

There are a lot of people who are saying, well, these Trump supporters shouldn't have been there.

Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there.

And I think there are certain arguments that I would agree with on that front.

But I will say this.

When we had Charlottesville, what happened?

You had bad guy people

who were out there,

bad groups of people.

On both sides.

No, don't you dare on both sides.

No, all people were good on one side and all people are bad on the other.

No, you had one white supremacist, obviously terrible, out there protesting

and doing their thing.

Then you had anti-protesters.

Antifa were some of them.

Some of them were just regular people who were there to say, I don't want this in my town.

The bad guys who were there and doing their

Tiki Torch Jews will not replace us thing.

One of them ran over one of the counter protesters.

At no point did anyone say the counter protesters should not have been there.

Including on the right, by the way.

No one ever said, oh, those counter protesters should not have showed up.

They should have been there.

Nobody Nobody said that.

Now, with this, both of these situations in

Portland and Kenosha, right?

Yes.

The two areas.

Yeah.

The Portland one and the Kenosha one.

Everyone's saying, oh, well, those counter-protesters should never have showed up.

They basically caused it.

They called it on themselves.

It's like, well, no, that's not the way this works.

This guy murdered a Trump supporter for no reason.

Right.

And we were all supposed to say, well, it was his fault for showing up to be a counterprotester.

It's not what they said about Charlottesville.

We can all pretty much agree here that people like this guy who murdered them are bad people.

They're rioting.

They're breaking windows.

They're terrorizing these communities.

Counter-protesters show up.

One of them gets killed.

Another one gets attacked and then has to fire back.

And what we're supposed to believe is it's their fault for showing up as counter-protesters.

It's a totally different construct than last time.

We just reverse those rules.

Last time it wasn't the counterprotesters fault for getting run over by a car.

Obviously it wasn't.

And the right agreed with that.

Now when it happens the other way around, the left just changes all their rules and the media changes all of its rules.

It really is frustrating.

It's really frustrating.

None of this is based on truth anymore, Pat.

It's just, what's the feel?

I don't know.

What can we get away with today?

Yeah.

It really is frustrating.

This whole thing has been so bizarre and so frustrating from the very beginning.

Another of those frustrating situations is this poor owner of the Minneapolis salon that rioters set on fire and burned.

This woman's business was completely gutted, completely burned almost to the ground, but it wasn't

absolutely burned to the ground.

So it was too dangerous, the city said, to allow to stand.

So the city went in and tore it down the rest of the way

and

sent the bill to the owner

of the salon for $200,000.

This is not the only case of this either.

It's happening to several business owners there.

I mean, if that's not frustrating and makes zero sense, when the woman was in no way responsible for any of it, in fact, she just lost her business because you didn't protect it from the city.

The city of Minneapolis didn't protect it from the looters.

Yeah.

So she lost that to fire,

lost her livelihood, and then on top of it, when they tear the building down, they give her the bill for $200,000.

Incredible.

That's not America.

No.

And one of these things, I've seen a couple articles.

I know Beckett Adams wrote about this in

Washington Examiner.

And

there's been this case from the left, which has basically been, hey,

it's just property.

Right?

Yes, we know they should be burning buildings down, but you know what?

It's not important.

That's not important.

They have insurance.

They'll get their stuff replaced.

Yeah.

Well,

apparently,

and part of me said, wait a minute, morally, this is reprehensible.

What are you talking about?

You don't burn someone's building down.

Even at the very least, if they got all their money back for the business from insurance, they'd still have months where they weren't selling their product, months where they had to lay people off, all of these other complicating factors.

But in the back of my head, I thought to myself, well, at least at the end of this, maybe they'll be made whole.

Apparently not.

Apparently not.

Quite the the opposite.

Yeah, listen to some of this.

I thought this was really interesting.

Like dozens of other investors whose properties were severely damaged in the May riots, the Kim family was stunned to discover that the money it would collect from its insurance company for demolition won't come close to the actual cost of doing the job.

Most policies limit reimbursement to $25,000 to $50,000, but contractors have been submitting bids of $200,000 to $300,000.

In many cases, the price of the work is not much lower than the value of the actual property records show.

Another one, this is a sports dome retail complex, a different company than the one Pat mentioned in St.

Paul.

Had the city hired a crew.

They came in because it was an unstable building, they had to knock it down, and then presented a bill to the property owners for $140,000 to haul away the debris.

This is happening in place after place after place.

Another company said they got got $125,000 bid, but they only had $50,000 from their insurance.

You know,

big companies

will have

insurance that might cover them.

Like a McDonald's or a Wendy's might have insurance that's going to cover something like this.

A small business doesn't.

A small business is going to wind up

having their lives destroyed over something like this.

And they will never be made whole.

Many of them, and this shouldn't matter, but many of them are immigrant-owned and minority-owned businesses who likely supported these rallies and riots at other times and now are paying for it.

And none of this is fair.

Even if they had political beliefs that are insane, like some people do,

it's still not fair.

They should not have their stuff torched for no reason.

And I do think this is connecting not only to people in the communities, but also people when it comes to the general election.

They're looking at this and they're saying, wait a minute, one of these parties is blatantly, despite their recent denials, blatantly on the side of the rioters.

They, I mean, the vice presidential candidate of the United States tried to raise money to get people who were accused of murder bailed out of jail and successfully in some cases

in Minnesota.

Yeah.

She was raising money to get these people bailed out.

Jeez.

That is incredible.

Unless you want a chaotic world, unless you want

your life to be

an anti-war-torn

province of some African disputed territory,

where you have whites and blacks fighting each other, and you have tribe after tribe going after each other, and there's no stable government and no police.

Unless you want that world in your future,

how can you want this?

How can you sit there and embrace it?

Whether you like Donald Trump or not, it's hard to imagine a world in which you're like cheering this on.

And even you can tell the Biden-Harris campaign has realized that this is true and now are trying to back off of it.

But we're not idiots.

We were all here.

We all saw you doing it.

Biden just said yesterday.

Let me quote what he said.

I think what happened in Portland where one of of the Trump guys riding along in vans, inciting responses, shooting rubber bullets, I guess, or paintballs.

He doesn't even know what the deal is.

Apparently, there was someone shot by someone in the crowd with a bullet and killed.

So here's Biden

blaming the victim in this particular case.

And

just minimizing

the fact that the guy was killed by this

screwball in Antifa.

They just will not condemn the things that Antifa do.

Still haven't said the name, as far as I know.

No, they haven't.

You remember when they went up to Jerry Nadler on the street and

he said it was a myth.

Antifa was a myth.

It's not a myth to this guy who's dead.

I don't think I've seen a single Democrat condemn what they're doing.

Or tell them to stop.

Why is that hard?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Again, like Antifa.

Are these your constituents?

Are these the people you're trying to please?

I mean, there's certainly energy on that side, and maybe they're just trying not to piss off

those groups?

But I mean, you know,

how often, Pat, did they go after Donald Trump for not denouncing the alt-right

or white supremacists?

They still do it.

And he did denounce those groups.

He did.

I don't know.

I think he denounced the alt-right as well, but he definitely denounced white supremacists.

I remember that specifically

multiple times, over and over again.

It was never enough.

They don't have to do this one time with Antifa.

They don't have to say, you know what, Black Lives Matter.

There's a lot of good people

who are rallying and

peacefully protesting.

And I think they should be highlighted more in the news coverage.

But I will say, there is a sliver of this group that is terrible and they're doing terrible things.

They don't even go that far.

Because

they'll say, well, we don't like violence, but they won't say Black Lives Matter is involved in it.

They won't say Antifa is involved in it.

They won't say that these groups are doing this all the time in left-leaning cities all over America.

Why?

This is not hard.

You know,

it shouldn't be.

You're not going to lose votes by saying Antifa is too violent.

There's no way, like, you're going to lose the votes of the Antifa members.

I mean, most of them just want to overthrow the entire government.

And they're not going to vote.

Most of them.

Most of them.

Would be my guess.

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

We're talking a while ago about the one major movie that's finally coming out.

It's been, what, is this six months now since we've had a major movie come out?

I think so.

Yeah, March.

Something, yeah, March, April, May, June, July.

So we're in September.

Yeah, it's been six months.

And today, Tenet starts, and that was a $200 million

budgeted movie.

So they're hoping for some, you know, maybe they take in some serious money this weekend.

Someone has to take this first step, right?

Yes, and they're doing it.

I think you would argue, why not hold this until next year?

Most studios are.

Most studios are.

They're backing it up until next year.

Why take the chance?

I don't know why they're taking the chance with this.

I mean, someone has to do it, and I'm glad somebody is doing it.

Or, you know, it never starts up again.

Because there is a very interesting chicken egg problem here, which is

you can't open theaters.

All the theaters close, so no one wants to release a movie.

And theaters, well, they can open, but if there's no movies to show, no one goes.

So why open?

And this has been a difficult thing.

This is why we talked about this earlier, where Pat and I went to this movie in May, right after this one theater in Texas that was open.

It's right near where we work.

And Pat and I went.

We were the only two people, not in the theater, but the entire building other than the one owner and the person working the concession stand.

Yeah.

And

it was sad, honestly.

It was sad, not only because the Vin Diesel movie we saw was terrible, but also

it was just a sad, it was like a wasteland.

Yeah.

And so what they did when they opened up was to show all the movies that were out in March.

This Vin Diesel movie came out in March.

And so they had that on there.

They had, you know, a bunch of movies that were like, you know, 1917, which is like more of a Oscar note.

They've been it's been out for a while.

That was there.

And over time, there were a few movies that were released by small studios, independent films, but really nothing came out for all these months.

So there was somewhat of a drop-off at the box office, right?

I mean,

did it fall a little bit?

Yeah, well, here we go.

These are the numbers, the weekend box office numbers.

You tell me if you can detect when COVID started.

I'm not going to give you the dates.

You tell me when COVID started.

So this is going to be really hard.

Yeah, it's going to be really hard.

$182 million for the weekend.

$102,

$97,

$100 million, $53 million, $4,160.

Wait, what?

4,160?

I'm going to give you a hint.

One of those weeks was the first week of the pandemic.

Was it the week it went down to $100 million?

No.

No, no.

Good guess, though.

Wow.

Because it did drop.

It did.

It went from $100 million.

Now, the first, if you remember, it was March 15th that Donald Trump made the

speech, the 15 days to slow the spread.

That was March 15th.

So that weekend was March 13th through the 15th.

That speech was on a Sunday.

That weekend, it got cut in half before

we had closed anything.

Everything was still out.

People were just not going out.

It went from 100 million to 53 million, and then the next week, 4,160,

then 3,758,

then 4,097.

Wow.

Then 14,612.

I had a little boost there.

That was a big weekend.

Dropped back down to 3,675,

5,245, 12,000.

So now we're into May.

Now, right, May, we're still at $12,000 for national box office.

And keep in mind, May is the start of the summer blockbuster season.

Right.

Now, a lot of this happened for the very few drive-ins that exist out there.

There were a few drive-ins, so people were doing that.

Then we got into May, and this I think is a fascinating story.

It will be

a great trivia question someday.

What movie

in the middle of

the...

What was this?

It was one, two, three.

I only see three here, but had multiple weeks at number one.

Oh, yeah, they're skipping weeks.

It was six straight weeks at number one for a movie in 2020.

The previous one that did six straight weeks at number one one was Black Panther.

What was the next one?

You will win a trivia contest someday by remembering this name, The Wretched.

It's a movie that almost no one saw.

It made like $50,000 a week, but it was number one for six straight weeks.

We've now come all the way back, though.

Last week was $12 million in the box office.

So we've come back to 12%

of a normal weekend.

Long way to go, though.

Long way to go.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We've been talking about a great new startup in Dayton, Ohio called Tempigenics.

Heading into Labor Day weekend.

Pat and Stu for Glenn, AAA, 727, B-E-C-K.

We're just talking about some of the numbers

that might surprise you a little bit because

as far as COVID-19 and the rates of infection and the death rates, it goes back and forth and back and forth on who's done a great job and who hasn't.

Of course, New York's governor,

Andrew Cuomo, has done such an incredible job.

No.

I mean, look at him.

There's still people alive in New York, aren't there?

Well, that's true.

There's a few people still left standing.

There are.

Had he not acted the way he did, there wouldn't be.

That's not true.

That's definitely not true.

He is the worst man.

Oh, and he flaunts it.

He flaunts it.

So here's a guy who is

without question.

There's no question about this,

had the worst results of anyone in the world.

Now, you can argue a couple of different places.

You could argue New Jersey, who has a slightly higher result.

Yeah, but those all came from

all New York cases.

Yeah.

Right?

New York spread it around the entire world, but

that's the strain around New York.

Even on the West Coast, right?

Even on the West Coast.

Don't they find that the California infections are mostly from New York?

Mostly New York, you know, Wyoming, every place in the West Coast.

You'd think it would come from the West Coast strain.

Nope, came from New York.

He has had more people die in his state than any other state.

He is

overtly, overtly lying about how many people died in nursing homes.

And the way he did that was to say that if someone was in a nursing home, got sick from COVID, it got so bad they brought him to the hospital, they're counting that as a hospital death.

They are the only state in the union doing so.

Well, did they die in a hospital or did they die in a nursing home?

Well, you know what?

The important thing is not if they die in a hospital, right?

The important thing is

where did they catch it?

Where did it come from?

Okay, says you.

Says me.

Says you.

Yes, and every other state in the union.

States.

Democrats and Republicans.

You and all the other states besides New York are saying that.

He's one of five states, only five, that said, you know what's a good idea is if, let's say we have someone who has COVID, they go to the hospital, they've tested positive.

What if we bring them back inside the nursing home to put them around the most vulnerable population among us?

That's a good idea?

No.

Oh.

Actually, killed thousands of people.

Only five states did that.

Yeah, but who saw that coming?

Nobody saw that coming.

Everyone, including the people in his state who run the facilities, who begged him in public letters not to do this.

Well, you're acting like

old people who live in nursing homes were more vulnerable than other people.

That is how I am acting because that is the truth.

That is the truth.

Then, in addition to that, he was the only governor, the only state in the union, New York, that prohibited nursing homes from testing even.

Testing.

New patients coming into the nursing home.

So you're going to, you're

going to go to nursing homes.

Seriously, why would you do that?

Well, they said, luckily, you're asked a question which they've answered, Pat, which is great.

And I think everyone will understand it.

They said they didn't want people to be discriminated against based on their COVID-19 status.

That's important.

That's important.

Is it?

You know, is it, Pat?

Is that an interesting point you bring up?

Is it discrimination?

Let me push back a little bit.

You know what's the worst thing in the world?

What?

Discrimination.

It's worse than the pandemic?

Yes.

Wow.

Yes.

Well, we know that because of the rallies.

We do know that because of the rallies.

Riots have told us.

Yep.

Hey, it's okay to go protest outside during a pandemic.

There's one thing worse than dying, and that's being subjected to discrimination.

Right.

And luckily, these riots and rallies have, of course, stopped all racism.

So that's now.

It's all gone.

So all of those things are true.

He comes out and brags about.

I mean, the worst, the most egregious thing he does is comes out and brags about the nursing home number and says he's 34th

in the nation in nursing home deaths when he knows that he's the only state that calculated them this way.

The actual number, of course, is higher than any other state, obviously.

We all know this.

He's the one with all the bad policies.

And he was the one,

and also the state had the most deaths.

So just by sublimination, we know

by a lot, about double any other state.

And number two, I believe, is New Jersey.

And those all came from New York.

And number of, I think it's four or five is Connecticut,

which all came from New York as well.

You also look at other surrounding states that have major problems.

And the funny thing is, he'll come out and he'll be like, he's been doing this lately.

You know, Donald Trump, he didn't do anything.

He didn't ban European travel until it was too late.

And we had the European strain.

Number one,

the European strain.

Where did Europe get it?

You know, China.

So it's still China.

And so the fact that he wants to blame Europe is just bizarre.

It's just to try to push back and try to make himself

in an argument with the president because he thinks it elevates him, right?

So I want to fight with the president because I'm Mr.

Tough Guy.

And, you know, the other day he's throwing a lot of stuff.

Like, if this president comes to New York, you better bring his bodyguards, which is just a threat against the president of the United States.

In fact, he said he should bring an army.

Bring an army.

Well, you know, the president actually has one.

He could bring it.

Right.

And he has bodyguards, too.

Yes.

But threatening the president of the United States used to be something you didn't do.

Andrew Cuomo breaking that string.

This is just all of these reasons, Pat, are why I've combined all of those together.

And the only thing I could do was come up with andrewcuomoisawful.com, which is where you can get your Andrew Cuomo is awful t-shirts, mugs, and masks.

Okay.

And why did I do that?

Because he's awful.

I will say, there was an issue when I, a minor issue when I did this.

Many, many listeners and viewers reached out and said, hey, Chris Cuomo is worse.

Okay.

And I said, you're right.

That's why we also have ChrisCuomoisworse.com.

So Andrew Cuomo is awful.

ChrisCuomo is worse.com.

The point here, though, is that this guy's had a free ride from the media.

You all.

From the beginning.

From the beginning.

Yes.

And he's been praised.

This is, you know, a person who has,

after Trump came out and said, okay, we need to ban European travel.

Okay.

After Trump came out and said, hey, just 15 days to stop the spread.

And you can argue, okay, you know, shutdowns, none of us like shutdowns, obviously, here on the right.

And we certainly didn't like them in Wyoming, right?

We didn't like them in Idaho.

We certainly didn't like them in places where there was no problem at the time.

That is the biggest issue.

But New York, New York City, they probably should have done more to lock the thing down.

I mean, it was, you know, it was a total disaster.

And they should have acted faster.

And they should have acted much faster.

When he was bragging that they weren't going to shut down.

Right.

Trump did the shutdown.

It wasn't until after that, after the European travel ban, after the national shutdown, Cuomo still waited before shutting down New York.

He was fighting with de Blasio, who de Blasio is saying, we got to not have the, you know, we're not going to have the kids go back to school.

We're going to shut down the city.

And he said, you know what?

Well, I'm the one who would have to do that and we're not doing it because he's Mr.

Tough Guy.

And he's, he, I mean, his, there's, it's inarguable.

Andrew Cuomo's policies are responsible for thousands of deaths.

Thousands.

And you know what he's going to do?

He's going to release a freaking book next month explaining how wonderful he is.

And the the press is going to fawn all over him for it.

Yeah, it literally is about how he handled COVID, right?

Mm-hmm.

And

remember, like this is when he was getting the bulk of his really wonderful treatment.

He released a poster, a colorful drawing, which indicated him in his

stupid Camaro

on the poster, showing what a wonderful job he did by stopping the COVID mountain and trying to dunk on states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas on the poster.

And he was selling the poster.

Now, of course, at that time, Florida, Texas, and Arizona were increasing in cases.

We didn't know how bad the outbreak would be.

If you watch Students America, listen to this program, I'm sure Pat, you talked about this as well, is that we said, look,

we're in the middle of a flare-up in these cities in the South.

However, it's not going to be nearly as bad as what happened in New York.

And we outlined the reasons, many of which are that the

governors were handling it better.

The states were handling it better.

You know, DeSantis and Abbott were handling the situation in a more efficient manner.

So we went over that, how it wasn't going to be as bad.

He was saying, like, look at me.

Our deaths are at zero and theirs are high.

Well, you know, when you burn through your entire population and kill off most of the most vulnerable people by intentionally importing COVID into nursing homes, you know, you're going to have a lower death rate later on.

The problem is those people are already dead.

They can't die again.

Although him trying to dunk on Texas, which has 10 million more people overall than 10 million more

than New York does.

We have 13,000 deaths here in Texas.

13,000.

New York State, 32,567.

Basically, three times as many.

Three times as many.

With a lower population.

Yes.

With 10 million less people.

It's incredible.

It really is.

It really is incredible.

And it's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing for the media more.

Because, you know, look, you figure Cuomo was never honest.

He was never competent.

He was never a good guy.

And he was a guy who, of course, is going to try to lie to protect himself.

He's just like Chris.

Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo.

You can tell they're in the same family.

They will lie at any point to say anything that will benefit them for one split second.

If the difference is one cent in their

or one grain of power, what they will do is lie and lie and lie if it will just get them one little centimeter down the road towards them having more power or more influence or more fame or another TV hit.

That's who they are.

They've been that way forever.

The fact that the media falls for it, embraces them, promotes them as if they did a good job.

Chris Cuomo had a doctor who was prescribing bleach baths and various spices to cure his COVID-19.

And then he's on television saying Donald Trump is promoting

unproven cures.

His doctor,

as written up in the media by his wife, was doing all this crap.

And not to mention breaking quarantine and all the other things we know about Chris.

Both of these guys are so awful.

AndrewCuomo's awful.com.

So awful.

And the media never holds them to account.

It really is pathetic.

And again, like when you look at deaths per million, here we go.

Deaths per million.

Number one, New Jersey.

Number two, New York.

Number three is Massachusetts.

Number four, Connecticut.

Again, all of those are tied very closely to New York.

I mean, that's the whole corridor up there.

Without question.

The first state you get in the south is Louisiana, who's fifth, at 1,080.

So remember, New Jersey is at 1,800.

New York at 1,700.

Louisiana is at 1,080.

Go all the way down.

You got to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

You get to Texas at 463.

So, I mean, we're talking one-third the death rate.

If you take $1,700 per million as a number for New York, the biggest numbers for countries around the globe, even little tiny ones, San Marino is number one, Pat.

The country of San Marino had a very bad COVID problem.

I don't know if you know this.

I didn't know that.

It's very bad.

I wasn't aware of San Marino's situation.

They had 42.

You're making me aware.

They had 42 deaths in 735 cases, but no one lives there.

So they had a death rate of 1,237.

That's even lower than New York's.

It's not even close.

Wow.

It's 33% less, basically, than New York.

What was Sweden's, who did nothing?

Sweden is very little.

As of today, Sweden is at 577.

Oh, and everybody, everybody has come down on Sweden because they did nothing and their death rate was higher than the surrounding countries.

It's 500 something for 577, which is good for

a tenth in the world.

Tied with us now.

As I told you, I was telling you off the air that we were about to catch them.

We just tied them today.

So just, and we're going to pass them easily because we're still having about, I mean, look, we're still getting about a thousand deaths a day here in America.

This is not at zero.

This is about 10,078 yesterday.

Yeah, which is, you know,

but if you take the weekends into account, it's probably more like 850 a day on average.

Still a lot, still more than we would want.

But Brazil

is worse.

Italy is worse still.

Chile is worse.

UK is worse.

Spain is worse.

Belgium is worse

than us.

And no one really talks about those things.

The other part that no one talks about is the fact that tons of these countries, I'm not talking about France and countries that are with developed economies and developed health systems, but countries like Mexico, they have not even come close to quantifying how many people have died there.

To give you a sense of this,

they have this thing, excess deaths is the way that, at the end of the day, it gives you a sense of what is actually happening.

So, basically, the same amount of people die every year in every country.

It's incredibly consistent because it's just, you know, it grows a little bit by population over time.

So we have about, I want to say it's about 15% excess deaths this year, which is a big number of people because we're a large country, right?

Yep.

About 15%.

Just in April and May, just April and May, Mexico had 91% excess deaths.

Wow.

Almost twice as many people died as normal in the entire country of Mexico.

Well, so when this is all shaken out at the end, when the scientists look back at this, they're going to find that Mexico had a much worse problem than we did at any point, even at the beginning.

Was there a bad outbreak of the heartbreak of psoriasis?

Do we know?

I mean, it could have been psoriasis.

I haven't looked into how many varicose veins people had and died from.

I have not.

I mean,

combination skin.

Maybe they've got,

maybe this has nothing to do with COVID-19.

I haven't even looked at dishpan hands, which

they could be dry, they can be clammy.

Do they have dawn down there?

I don't know.

Dawn is the cure.

We know what the cure for dishpans.

We've known that for 30 years at least.

But you're right, I've not even looked into that.

Well, then get back to me, okay?

Pete Talbot here along with my son Seth with Relief Factor.

And we know people really do want a 100% drug-free supplement that can help with their pain.

Dad's right, but we know many are skeptical.

So we asked a group of medical doctors to research and then create Relief Factor to help people with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain.

And that's exactly what they did.

In my 40s, I had an accident, was in substantial pain.

I heard on the radio about the three-week quick start.

By the end of the quick start package, I was substantially out of pain.

Within three months, I was back to being active and doing the things that I love.

Pain from getting older, exercise, or even everyday living can keep you from sleeping through the night, exercising, or going on walks, or even going up or downstairs.

Which is why we created the three-week quick start and then discounted it to only $19.95, about a dollar a day, to see if it'll work for you too.

Go to relief factor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-500-8384.
