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

Today we go into a little bit of Jacob Blake,

who and Jacob Blake and family, because they have a wonderful family

of situation going on over there.

Jacob, of course, is a guy who was shot by police and has become this hero on the left.

We kind of go into whether he should be treated as a hero and whether Joe Biden should be meeting with his dad, who is a virulent anti-Semite.

Huh, huh.

Huh.

I don't know.

I would go, no, he shouldn't.

But he will not be, of course, penalized for that because, you know, social justice.

Anti-semic racist, too.

Yeah, we should put.

No, he really doesn't like white people.

Not a fan.

No.

Not a fan.

We also go into Glenn had a special last night.

And we have a final update of the paper towel saga.

As my wife ordered paper towels from a Chinese scam company, we have a final resolution of that comes at the end of the show, and you're going to love it, I think.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

Did you read about Elon Musk planning to build a glorious city on Mars?

I love this guy's.

I love his ambition.

I really do.

It's infectious.

Like, he really

makes you believe that we're going to do all these things.

That within a few years, I think he's sticking to his plan.

2024, right?

2024 is the Mars shot?

Or

2024 might be the moon and 2028 or 2030 might be Mars?

I don't know.

Anyway, it's a really, it's a short timetable because

does it feel like we're ready to go to Mars yet?

It really doesn't.

I don't, to me, at least.

Yeah.

Mars or the moon or really anywhere.

No.

It does not seem like it.

It does not seem like something that's going to be right around the corner.

No.

It doesn't at all.

They're doing amazing things.

They are.

And it's obviously possible.

And I love that that it's a private business doing this.

They have partnered with NASA, but still, at least you got the private business element to it now.

And he is talking about these rocket ships.

He's building these starship rockets, he calls them, to take people back and forth to Mars.

And he says he's going to need a fleet of a thousand ships to create a sustainable city.

Not even a place dependent on Earth.

It's going to be Mars sustainable.

And he wants to have a million human beings living on Mars

by,

I believe, 20, yeah, 2050, by 2050.

So he can take 100 people at a time.

It'd be three flights a day for nine or 10 years, and we'd have a million people on Mars.

There is one drawback.

There's one slight drawback.

Okay.

The first bunch of groups of people who go will probably die.

So it's a one-way trip.

You're going to be dead after you get there.

Well, everyone's going to die.

Yes, but I mean, quickly.

I mean, before their time, they're obviously going to perish because Mars can't sustain life.

But, I mean, that's a small price to pay, right?

To start a colony on Mars.

That's actually quite a big price to pay.

I can think.

Yeah.

Do you really?

I feel like it's one of the biggest prices to pay.

So you still think that human life has value?

Oh, that's right.

That's my point.

Wow.

That's my plan.

That's weird.

Yeah.

Still.

I've been thinking that maybe, I don't know, even unborn human life had some value.

So that's really crazy.

I'm way out on a limit.

Wow.

It's funny.

I was watching some social media feed, I think, from Steven Crowder, who's on Blaze TV.

I'm going to was watch his show on Blaze TV.

And he was doing something about, you know, he does those things, Change My Mind.

He goes and just sits down and sets the table up and goes and says something controversial and says, change my mind.

Well, this is sort of the reverse of that, where he it said something about changed my mind, and it was about Tesla.

And he was talking, he had clips of him joking about Tesla and mocking the cars and everything.

And then it had him driving in one.

And at least the insinuation was, I didn't see the whole segment, but his insinuation was he drove it.

He was like, this is pretty great.

We went through that same transition.

Same thing.

Same exact transition.

We had the same experience because, you know, you could sit here and part of me still feels that.

Like, every time I see one, I'm like, oh, geez, look at this.

Look at this dope.

And then a little stupid Tesla.

And at the same time, like knowing we drove this thing,

it was the most amazing thing I've ever driven in my life.

Yeah.

I mean,

it is incredibly fast.

You feel like you're in a spaceship.

Yes.

They're updating the technology all the time.

All the time.

And it just happens like it happens automatically, because it's downloaded to your car.

And one day your car just goes faster.

It's an amazing.

What?

It's amazing.

It really is.

Now, I guess they do have some quality control problems.

I think they've got some of the biggest issues in the auto industry, in fact, in the quality control

aspect.

Yeah, they're bound to, right?

Because it's really high-tech.

So they're going to have some issues.

But it's a, I mean, you've got that great big screen.

You've got the cool, sleek look of the car, and it goes zero to 60 in less than three seconds, I think.

I mean, it's they're pretty amazing.

They're pretty amazing.

It's done some cool things.

Yeah, it really is.

And Tesla's like the

second biggest

by market cap, the second or first biggest car company?

First.

Is it first now?

Just past Toyota.

Yeah.

Just past Toyota a couple weeks ago.

Like, that's out of control.

That's amazing.

They don't sell anywhere near

the volume that Toyota or 4GM, anybody sells.

Yeah.

And yet it's more valuable than those companies.

And obviously, people are projecting the future.

And their stuff is great, but I still don't know that I see that as the ultimate solution.

But whatever.

And this is what's so funny about Elon Musk is that here's a guy who has come to the place where, as you point out, Pat, he's not only created an electric car company to try to solve the climate crisis,

he's actually sending people to Mars so that we can figure out a way to get off this planet in case the climate gets so bad.

That's how liberal the guy is.

Yes.

But the fact that he wanted to open up his own freaking factory against government edict made him some crazy right-winger.

It turned the left against him.

Yep.

Now they hate him.

Now they hate him.

Because why?

Because he wanted to open up his own factory.

Right.

He wanted to make money again?

Sorry.

Wanted to produce cars for people who want him?

Oh, what a horrible thing to do.

I know.

And you know, he can't be Mr.

I'm going to save the climate unless people are actually doing the thing that they're supposed to be doing at the factory.

Yes.

Right.

But I, and I was told quite clearly the biggest threat to us was the climate change situation.

Oh, multiple times.

Not a multiple people.

Not a pandemic.

Right.

No.

That was never any.

That was George Bush's concern.

That was not the left's concern.

And Bush

was obsessed with pandemics.

Everyone kind of just ignored him on it.

That one seemed like that was a little bit of a bigger situation than what we've seen with the big 0.9 degree temperature rise over the past century.

So not only does he do the Tesla thing, not only does he do the space thing, but now he's doing like chips in your brain to try to control seizures or depression or any number of things.

Now, I'm not sure I want a chip implanted in me anywhere,

but

it's an amazing piece of technology if it does help people.

One of the things it's supposed to do is maybe even cure depression, which would be amazing.

That's just, I mean, he's done some incredible things.

He really has.

And along the way, has become, what, the third richest man in the world now?

He just passed Mark Zuckerberg, I think at $120 billion or something.

$120 billion.

Can you believe $120 billion is third on the list now?

Amazing.

Just absolutely incredible.

And

you just have to sit back and kind of marvel because he's a weird guy.

Oh, yeah.

He's a very strange person.

He is.

And kind of admittedly so.

And at one time, he was apparently sleeping in his factory because he couldn't get the cars produced that he wanted to get produced.

I mean, it took him way longer than he thought it was going to take to produce, what, a $30,000 car, $30,000 version of what he was making before.

So he had to sleep on the premises in the factory in order to make that happen.

To be clear, he did not need to sleep at the factory.

He just said to me,

that's what he said.

Right?

He's like,

there's never a reason the owner of the company needs to sleep on the factory floor to get a car.

That's not a thing.

True.

It's not a thing.

Was he on the floor, though?

He slept right on the floor.

Maybe.

Yeah.

In a sleeping bag.

Yeah.

And it was a Paw Patrol sleeping bag, which I thought was interesting.

It was an interesting visual.

The guy does push himself really

hard.

Yeah, he does.

And he cares.

And I will say,

he's definitely a very quirky guy.

But part of me is like, if I was a billionaire.

It's kind of how I roll, I think.

Now, I wouldn't work as hard as him.

Definitely.

No way.

And I wouldn't care about the same things.

I wouldn't be trying to solve the climate crisis.

But

would I build a flamethrower company?

Probably.

I probably do have my own flamethrower company.

That would be kind of fun.

Like, you're just going to throw money at really crazy things that you think have a 1% chance of working.

You know, and whatever you think the biggest, like,

you would just do all crazy things and not apologize for them.

And that's what I think people like about Elon Musk.

Like, he just doesn't care.

No, he doesn't.

He obviously should not have been saying things like, I don't like the regulation in California.

I'm going to move to Texas.

Like, as a liberal, he's not supposed to say things like that.

But he did because it's what he thought was true.

He actually said at one point, was it last year?

He said his stock price was way too high.

Yeah.

Which is kind of counterproductive.

When you own a whole bunch of those stocks, you don't want them to be lowered necessarily.

Yeah.

And somehow he survived that.

And the stock price went up a lot.

And now he's a much richer man because of it.

Amazing.

The best of the Glenn Beck program.

But to understand what happened on August 23rd, which was the date of the shooting, you have to go back to May 3rd.

So May 3rd is there's an incident.

It's a little icky.

He was charged with third-degree sexual assault, among other things.

And there's some rumors going around the internet that he had, that it was about sex with a minor.

And so that's not true.

Someone has like taken a different state's third-degree sexual assault law and put it into posts online, which again is bizarre.

Yeah, because I've heard that too, but not true.

No, not true.

Here's what the Wisconsin, there's two things that need to be true to get third-degree sexual assault in Wisconsin.

Number one, the defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim.

Okay.

Number two, the victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse.

Now, to me, that's just straight out rape, right?

Like that, that's, you could call it the third-degree sexual assault if you want, but the definition of rape, I would, I could easily define it just like that.

The defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim.

The victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse.

Kind of just seems like straight-up rape.

That's what I would call it.

So, we now know that the woman,

the alleged victim, was the same woman who called police on the day Blake was shot.

She called police on Blake because he showed up at her place when he wasn't supposed to.

And the last time he was there, he was charged with third-degree sexual assault.

My understanding was not only did he show up when he wasn't supposed to, he showed up in the middle of the night standing over her in her bed.

So this is the May 3rd incident.

I'm talking about the shooting.

So this is why

she's calling police because this guy who showed up in the middle of the night last time he was there is a bit of a problem in her life.

And look, obviously, we have the whole thing.

This is an alleged situation at this time.

We all get trials.

We all are innocent until proven guilty.

I will point out to the left, this includes the police officers too.

I know this is going to be shocking, but I'm going to give that benefit of the doubt to both sides.

But basically, what happened was the victim here, the woman, went to a party in Milwaukee the previous night.

So this is May 2nd.

May 3rd, early in the morning, comes back at like 4 in the morning, arrives at home, comes in, and goes to bed in her bed.

Jacob Blake breaks into her home, and she is startled awake when she at six o'clock in the morning she wakes up and Jacob Blake is standing over her okay

now they had known each other for years but it was well known that he was not welcome in her home so think about you know what kind of person you have to be to do this right like you need to actually break into someone's home you're you're intimidating this woman you're standing over her now she was not alone in bed

this is important to note she was not alone in bed she was sleeping next to one of her children.

So she's alone.

She's in her bed with one of her children.

And then Blake assaults her in a way that I'm not going to describe here on radio, but it's not pretty.

And there's a lot of really disgusting details that go along with it.

We're going to spare you those,

but the police report is available.

The New York Post obtained it, among others, a couple of other media sources as well.

But

he sexually assaulted her.

Now, after this ends, he leaves.

The woman gets up, collects herself, runs out of the door to basically yell at him, you know, whatever.

She's very pissed off that this has occurred.

She goes out to find that her car is missing.

Comes back in, looks in her purse, realizes he's taken her keys.

He's taken her ATM card.

The car is gone.

He goes in the car,

makes two withdrawals from her bank account,

unauthorized withdrawals from her bank account.

So he's stealing, he stole her car and money.

Now, it's interesting what happens when she actually calls 911, because, as you know, the police are a bunch of racist monsters.

They're going to come here probably and execute every minority in the place, right?

That's what I would assume is going to happen.

Talking about Jacob Blake and some of his background before the shooting.

You can get all the details, and I have, you know, screenshots and all this stuff on the show last night on Studos America.

America.

Go to YouTube, search for Stu.

You can watch the whole show there if you want to get additional detail.

But we're going through what happened that day.

And it's really ugly, honestly.

She's finally, she's been assaulted.

He's stolen the car.

He's done all these terrible things.

Now he's decided, she's called 911.

The police come.

And instead of violently attacking every minority in the complex, they're actually really protective of the victim, which is, I know, a shocking thing for police to do.

They take a tearful statement from her where she said her assault, quote, caused her pain and humiliation, was done without her consent.

She was, quote, very humiliated and upset by the sexual assault.

They also noted that she had a very difficult time telling the officer about what had happened, and she cried as she

told them how the defendant assaulted her.

And so, you know, people might say, and I understand it, you know, okay, he's a bad guy.

What about the incident itself, though, right?

Like, you could say he's a bad guy, but what about the actual incident?

And this is where I think people need to focus their attention.

This is the incident.

If you're going to pick an incident that involves Jacob Blake, this is the one to care about.

This is it.

You can put his name on your shirts if you want, but this is the incident.

This is the one we should prioritize.

Yes, a woman being raped next to her child in bed as she slept.

Should take priority over an alleged rapist getting shot by police.

Yes.

Like, frankly, that is just true.

And, you know, I hear a lot of

calls for justice for Jacob Blake.

Where are the calls for justice for this woman who is sitting there?

Is LeBron James crying about her?

No, it doesn't seem to be.

It doesn't seem to be at all.

I haven't heard LeBron James say word one about this woman he raped.

Where does she get to her justice?

Because she doesn't see, no one seems to give a crap about that.

You know, and yeah, you know, he might, maybe he doesn't deserve to be shot seven times.

And we can talk about the circumstances there, which we've covered.

And obviously, there's a million reasons why that happened, and we can go into all the details on that.

But again, this is a

it's not like he did something where there was the thing with Eric Garner.

Remember, Eric Garner, and they're like, oh, you know, he should have been, you know, killed for selling loose cigarettes.

It's not exactly,

you know, it's not true per se, but he didn't commit a major crime to lead to the incident as it happened.

This guy did commit.

He committed third-degree sexual assault.

You heard the definition.

It's rape.

The victim,

by the way,

was a victim of not only rape, but also her car being stolen, her bank account being stolen, several other things.

This is also not a one-time incident.

As the victim stated, he, quote, physically assaults her around twice a year when he drinks heavily.

The guy basically has a, you know, a recurring calendar event to come commit domestic abuse against this woman, and she's had to live with this this entire time.

And I don't know what's the appropriate penalty for this?

Repeated domestic assault,

grand theft, auto,

stealing money from a bank account, and rape.

What are you going to get?

A life in prison?

That might be appropriate.

That might be where I landed on it.

The penalty for his sexual assault is 10 years in Wisconsin.

Ask me if I think that's good enough.

It's not.

Okay, the 10 years is a ridiculously small sentence for what this guy did.

And that doesn't even include include all of his other crimes, including, of course, fighting with officers, resisting arrest, and all the other things that he did.

So should we care about the injustice of an innocent woman who was sexually assaulted in her bed as she slept next to her child?

Or should we be talking about the supposed injustice of a frequent domestic abuser, thief, and rapist who was shot after resisting arrest, ignoring clear directions from officers while possessing a knife and walking through two tase attempts?

Which one should we be talking about?

Because that choice is easy to me.

It doesn't seem to be easy to the media.

It doesn't seem to be easy to the WNBA or LeBron James or Drew Brees.

And all these people who purport to care about women,

these are supposedly the people who protect women.

This is the thing that hit me, I think, harder than anything.

It's ridiculous.

I'm not going into this.

I mean, this, how the hell in the freaking Me Too era,

how the hell is this happening?

You know, everyone in the public eye should stop and think about what they're doing here.

Imagine how this victim feels.

Imagine how this victim feels, Pat.

Burning down cities over this rapist.

A rapist.

And imagine the victim who sits there and watches WNBA players wear t-shirts to spell out the name of her rapist.

Imagine watching Drew Brees, if you're this victim, and seeing on his helmet the name of your rapist.

It's despicable.

Imagine realizing that thousands of people across the country have united in effort to give your rapist $2 million.

Imagine how that feels if you're the victim victim of his sexual assault and frequent domestic abuse.

Imagine how that, if we can't recognize this as a society, that this is where we're doing this wrong.

Police brutality is the least of our issues.

I'm not saying it's it, there's never been a case of it, obviously, but the last thing in the world we need to worry about, if we are a society who can't recognize that the real crime here is this poor woman who was raped in a bed next to her child

as her child slept.

And we have celebrities plastering their uniforms with this guy's name.

It's disgusting

in every possible way.

It really is.

I mean, and that's assuming, that's assuming that the shooting wasn't justified, right?

Which I'm not convinced of.

No, I mean, I think, I don't think there's going to be.

I wouldn't think they'd even face charges.

I would not be surprised surprised if they face charges because this is the new reaction.

Maybe.

Right.

Like Kyle Rittenhouse, look, I don't want a 17-year-old with a rifle at one of these nights.

By any means.

I don't think it's a good idea.

And look,

you're putting a 17-year-old into a very chaotic situation, and it's very hard to see how good could come out of it.

So that being said,

there's no way the man is guilty or the kid is guilty of first-degree murder.

It's ridiculous.

And everybody knows it's ridiculous.

And the reason they know, the reason they did it is because we think if we overcharge him, we can get these riots to stop and we'll deal with the fact that we've overcharged him in six months.

Well, and you might be dealing with a jury saying, no, you overcharge him.

He's not guilty.

And then you're going to make it worse.

But this is their plan.

This is what they're doing now.

Yeah.

So unbelievable.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

And of course, now we know that Disney is also racist.

Disney.

Disney is.

Is racist, yes.

According to John Boyaga, you know who he is, right?

Yeah, the guy from Star Wars.

Yeah.

They're apparently racist because they just tossed aside his character and other minority characters because they were racist.

He portrayed, of course, this is the character Finn on Star Wars.

He's a huge character.

Huge.

And part of a huge part of what, the last three movies, right?

Yeah.

He was through the whole series.

What do you mean they tossed you aside?

You were into every movie.

He accused the company of not giving minority characters enough depth or character development

while making white

characters with more substance.

He made the comments

in an interview with British GQ, which is where you want to go with all your racist claims, I think, for Disney and America.

You get yourself involved in projects, and you're not necessarily going to like everything.

But I would say to Disney

is what they should not do is bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are, and then have them pushed aside.

Can never be woke enough, man.

I mean, never can be woke enough.

It doesn't doesn't matter what you do.

Here Disney makes one of the main characters in the last three movies black, and still that's they're racist.

Right.

They're still racist for doing that.

And they made one of the lead characters a woman.

Rice.

Right.

Which,

you know, people talked about at the time.

A little bit controversial at the time.

Yeah, it's fascinating because, and by the way, we must at least acknowledge the bravery of John Boyga for doing this after the movies are over.

Right.

What a wow.

We stand up and applaud your bravery of taking all the money and complaining afterward.

Wow.

That's incredible.

Yeah, look, he was a big feature.

I think he also complained about the Asian character that was in the.

He says, well, I'll take the deal when it's great experience.

They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver.

Now, he was the bad guy, right?

It looks like the, I don't know, he looked like the Backstreet Boy.

All the nuance to Daisy Ridley.

Let's be honest.

Daisy knows this.

Adam knows this.

Everybody knows.

I'm not exposing anything.

Really?

Okay, so

he's just not happy with his character now.

I mean, you're right.

After the fact.

After the fact, or he's made his millions of dollars.

He's very upset that he didn't get a bigger.

I mean, I thought his role was pretty big.

I did too.

He complained about, I think, the Asian character as well, who was not a good character.

Unlike

the characteristics.

Which one?

I thought the name would be in the article.

I can't remember her name.

But

she was in a short scene in one of the movies, and then they tried to bring her back a couple of times, but she just wasn't good.

Like, sometimes the characters suck, and you just got to,

you just got to bail on Jar Jar.

Yes.

Everyone, like, they brought in Jar Jar.

They gave Jar Jar a huge role.

I don't know what race he was.

I don't either, but it was bad.

It was bad, whatever it was.

Well, he was Gungan.

Gungan.

Yes, he was Gungan.

Now, I don't know.

Is there an anti-Gungen sentiment in Star Wars?

There might be.

There might be.

It was by the fans.

I'll tell you.

He is with me because I hated that character.

Oh, dude, he was terrible.

So they got rid of him, basically.

Like, he was still walking around in the background every once in a while, so they could say they didn't get rid of him.

But, like, I don't think that was the case with John Boygo.

He was one of the main characters in all those movies.

He was in it.

And the whole time.

I thought he might be arguing.

Why wouldn't they get me out of that last movie?

It was so bad.

They should have removed me completely.

They left me in because I was black.

It's not that bad.

I thought it sucked.

In fact, I liked it.

I liked the last movie.

Yeah, you did.

It's my fourth favorite.

Of the nine.

Of the nine.

It's number four.

Number four out of the nine.

After Empire Strikes Back, New Hope,

Return of the Jedi.

So the first three, and then you first three.

And then this one.

I'm not on board with the Pat Gray analysis on that one.

No.

No.

What's number four for you?

Because aren't the first three the...

For you, it's not even the first three.

I don't really like Return of the Jedi.

I think Return of the Jedi is very overrated.

I mean, it's just basically a bunch of Ewoks making noises.

It's really not.

There's not a lot to it, I'll say.

I actually liked the first one

that came out, I guess it was number 7.

The Force Awakening.

The 27 one?

No, The Force Awakens, which was the first JJ Strever's one.

I actually liked that one.

I think you weren't as hot on that one as I was.

I liked it.

Okay.

I mean, it's all right.

I thought that one was pretty good.

The middle one was awful.

That was the one that was.

I mean, they ruined Luke Skywalker in that one.

I hated that one.

I hated it.

And by the way, Pat, we should point this out.

You know, movies have been gone out of our lives for a long time.

This weekend, this tenant,

the first real big blockbuster movie being released.

It's already running near me.

Yeah, it's being re-released this week.

And it's the first one.

There's been a couple of other smaller releases that have come out, but this is the first one they're doing.

It's just two.

It looks really good.

It looks really confusing.
