Welcome to the program.

We have a minute or two here before the radio program starts.

Another freaking crazy day.

You know, someone

someone should try implementing a normal day.

One of these days.

I'm just thinking it's a good idea.

Is it possible?

Is just this the normal now?

I don't even know.

The more

protests last night in Minneapolis, which seems to lead to a lot of burning of buildings and destruction of property,

to the point where they actually took over a police station.

How is this possible?

The police evacuated their police station and they destroyed it.

They broke into the evidence room.

They were removing pieces of evidence from investigations out of this place.

I mean, it's remarkable what's going on there.

And then this morning, if you haven't heard, it's going to be the big story from the media.

A CNN journalist was arrested live on the air

because really in seemingly nothing is the only way I could describe it.

He doesn't seem to do anything.

So we'll get into that today as well.

A lot of other stuff.

There's tons of news, as usual.

It never stops.

Radio show starts here in about five seconds.

It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn.

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, welcome to it.

Triple 8727 Beck is the program.

It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn, who is on vacation, returns Monday.

Another crazy night in Minneapolis where protesting, quote unquote, protesting, and that's what it was, Pat, protesting.

Right.

When you protest things, a lot of times you protest it by lighting it on fire.

It's just one way to do it.

It's an expression.

Or stealing TVs.

Stealing TVs.

That's another great way to protest.

As we all know, the real cure for racial strife is the new Samsung 4K 63-inch.

That is what really cures it.

I think there was an 80-inch that was taken out of there.

Nice.

From the Target.

That's the way to do it.

I mean, it's despicable.

It's absolutely despicable.

It needs to.

Why don't they put a stop to it?

I don't understand how they just let the items roll out of the store and they just watch it go, wave goodbye to everybody.

It is, it's inexplicable.

There are hours and hours and hours of looting with no one.

No one shows up.

Nobody gets arrested.

It's bizarre.

It is bizarre.

And beyond bizarre last night, Pat, in that the actual police station was evacuated by the police, and the police drove away so that they could light the police station on fire and destroy it and break into the evidence room and remove evidence, which I guess anyone.

Now, if you happen to be a criminal, this is a very good development for you because now they apparently don't have the evidence to convict you anymore.

How on earth is this a thing?

I can't.

I've never seen anything like the police station thing.

Yeah, it's

we have seen the looting thing allowed before but police just up and leaving first they upped and then they left they upped and then they left yeah they upped and then they left and and then allowing the the station to burn to the ground is a very bizarre development i think in the scope of civilization it's a it's a strange new twist i noticed that as well i've never seen yeah anything like it never seen it at least they should say looters will be shot on site even if they don't mean it at least say it let's have some sort of

restraint here on the part of the looters that they might think, okay, well, something might happen to me if I loot.

They know nothing's going to happen to them.

No.

And this has nothing to do with George Floyd, by the way.

No.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd.

And even his mom has come out and said that.

Please don't destroy our community.

He would hate this.

He would.

Is what his family said.

He would hate this.

So don't be doing this in his name.

You're doing this for you.

It's got nothing to do with this.

You do you, though.

You do you.

If that's burning down a police station, so be it.

You do you.

I believe it was the great philosopher Madonna who said, express yourself.

And look, if you're going to express yourself by burning down a few dozen buildings, well, who are we to say that that's wrong?

Thank you.

You know, I don't understand.

I'm glad there's people out there defending it.

There's a couple of videos.

Do we have the CNN arrest video from this morning yet?

We're still working on it.

That's coming soon because.

Oh, yeah, they arrested some CNN employees.

Yeah, CNN journalists on the air.

And I have to say, you know,

I love to, you know, CNN is a routine

point of contention here on this program and every other place on the right where they annoy us consistently.

This reporter seemingly did absolutely nothing wrong.

He was calm.

He was telling the police he would go wherever they wanted him to go.

And they arrested him anyway.

And I,

just, forget even the right and the wrong of it.

Just the optics of it.

There is a guy on national television who, by the way, is a black reporter

who you're arresting while he's doing nothing.

And it's obvious to everyone that he's doing nothing because he's doing it on camera.

Here's another idea.

Really terrible, horrible, bad thing to do, to put your knee on someone's neck for 10 minutes and kill them.

Horrible, horrible thing.

Some additional level of insanity must apply if you're doing it while 10 people are filming you.

What do you think?

Of course the city's going to burn to the ground.

And what do you expect to happen?

Now, that does not excuse it, but certainly, like,

what on earth would you think would happen?

Do you think you're going to get away with that?

I don't know.

And well, they're not going to get away with it, too.

That's the other thing that's going on here is they have been fired.

The investigation is happening.

I fully expect them to be charged.

Not just the guy with the knee on his neck, but the other three as well.

They're going to be charged with something, accessory or negligence.

I don't know, but they're all going to be charged.

So

why the madness here?

Now, you can understand they haven't charged him yet.

And every day

every day matters, particularly if you're a business owner in this particular area.

You'd really like them to

shoot them.

Let's get them charged.

Because maybe that at least calms it down somewhat.

Yeah.

Now, there was a spokesperson who said we have a lot of evidence to go through,

and there is some evidence that would not indicate a criminal charge.

Now, he was very vague on it.

Yes.

What?

They CG hide the whole thing.

It actually didn't happen.

Both of them are fine.

That was the only thing I could come up with that would not make it a criminal charge.

But, you know, look,

of course, in our system of justice, we need to hear both sides of the story.

I just can't, I can't, you know,

I don't think the best fiction writers could come up with a reason as to why this was okay.

Because the video evidence is pretty strong there.

Pretty strong.

At the very least, I think you had mentioned it initially, negligent homicide is a, it seems like at the very best, you know, it's very possible.

Do I think that he planned it?

No.

I don't think he got up in the morning and thought, I'm going to kill a black person today.

I don't think that happened.

Odd.

Right, it would be an odd thing.

Let's take a quick break.

Because we also, we have a ton of stuff from last night, including some black gun owners who are exercising their Second Amendment rights, defending their business

in an inspirational sort of way.

We'll come back in 60 seconds with that.

Welcome to the program.

888727 Beck is the phone number.

Patton Stewan for Glenn.

We're talking about the developments last night in Minneapolis.

A couple of pretty interesting videos.

Let's start here with the CNN thing because this just happened a few hours ago on the air.

I think it was about 4 a.m.

Eastern.

This happened.

Maybe it was a little later than that, 5 or 6, something like that.

And basically, what you saw was

a CNN reporter

in the middle of a situation where there's a bunch of cops.

They're blocking an intersection off.

The CNN reporter is off to the side with a few other officers, and

he's trying to do a report.

There is not anything active going on.

There's not a riot going on in the background.

You're not seeing bottles thrown.

They're all just kind of standing there.

They've seemingly controlled the situation.

As that is happening, this reporter is trying to do a report, and here's what happens.

This is part of the advanced police presence that we saw come over the course of really minutes when the local police showed up at the fire department or with the fire department, I should say, on that building we showed you that was burning.

This is among the state patrol unit that was advancing up the street, saying and scattering the protesters at that point for people to clear the area.

And so we walked away.

I'm sorry?

You're under arrest.

Okay.

Do you mind telling me why I'm under arrest, sir?

Why am I under arrest, sir?

As you see, he's not

yelling back, he's not fighting.

Okay.

Is it because they showed the officers?

That's not what they said.

That is the reason.

Now there is a car you can hear kind of skid out to the side there.

Everyone kind of turns their head for a second.

If you're just tuning in,

you

are watching our correspondent, Omar Jimenez, being arrested by state police.

His mic is still on the floor.

The camera is going to be a little bit more than a moment why our correspondent is being arrested.

Hang on one second, Allison.

Let's listen into what these officers are saying.

Allison's trying to talk over the whole thing.

They're not saying anything.

They're just walking the perf to the...

He's an American television reporter, Omar Jimenez, being led away by police officers.

He clearly identified himself as a reporter.

He was respectfully explaining to the state police that our CNN team was there and moving away as they would request.

I'll give CNN lots of crap for lots of things.

He's telling the truth here, though.

That is exactly what he was doing.

Yeah, there was no reason for that.

To police custody

on television.

Now, they keep arresting people.

This is the producers and cameramen.

Okay, they're arresting the whole crew.

Now they put the camera on the ground and it's sitting on the ground.

They don't realize it's still on.

And it just shows the feet of the CNN recorder.

They're just airing this live on the air.

It's like a backpack unit of some sort.

Fascinating.

Yeah.

But again, steal all the TVs you want.

Oh, yeah, that's totally fine.

But don't do a report near there.

Minneapolis State Police, we believe the camera is now on the ground because our cameraman has been handcuffed.

Now, as this goes on, and we can, we can, uh, we can bring this down.

As this goes on, Pat, wow, it, the camera is crazy, the police clearly don't even understand they were.

I don't know how they didn't get it because he's he's talking into a microphone and he's doing a broadcast, but the camera just stays on on the ground the whole time.

I mean, like, they come back to the camera an hour later, and it's still on,

it's still on and broadcasting.

Wow.

Uh, so they brought three CNN employees to uh, to jail.

Uh, Jeff Zucker, the guy who runs CNN, got in touch pretty quickly with the governor of Minnesota, who was like,

sorry.

And a half an hour later, they were released.

So it went to the corner.

Did we ever find out why they were arrested in the first place?

Their claim was that they asked them to move and they didn't move.

But you can hear on the audio, he's blatantly saying, like, yeah, let me know where I need to go.

Just point the direction.

I'm happy to go that way.

And

they don't say anything, and then they just arrest him.

Now, they may have told him earlier to leave, and maybe they didn't listen the first time, and we're only getting the second half of that.

Regardless,

take a step back from whatever excuse comes up out of this.

There may be one.

But

optics are important in a situation like this, right?

Like, you are arresting a black reporter on here for doing this.

The police don't apparently care about optics.

They don't in any way, because this whole thing has been loaded with bad optics for them.

Yes.

From the very beginning of this

and

both bad and incompetent behavior.

Yes.

You know,

is it possible, CNN,

these reporters were just arrested just because of bad reporting from CNN?

And this was just, they had the opportunity.

Finally, we got the cops.

We have CNN.

Let's just arrest them.

Is that possible?

It is possible.

I think it is.

It's Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glen Pack program.

He's on vacation this week.

You know, we're talking about the arrest of the CNN crew, which is

unbelievable.

Here they are allowing people to burn police stations to the ground.

They do nothing except evacuate the building so that they can do that.

Here they are allowing people to completely destroy a target superstore.

Take items out of it,

steal all the electronics you want.

They do nothing.

But CNN crew and is standing there doing a report.

They arrest them during the report.

I don't...

What is the matter with the Minneapolis Police Department?

There's something wrong there.

He identifies them as state police, too.

Oh, state police.

Okay.

I have no idea.

Look, it's just bizarre.

These guys have just been through a long night of fighting a ridiculous situation.

Yeah.

And there's lots of excuses as to why you would not be a very joyful person at that moment, but that does not excuse me.

And they've mostly been bystanders and

they've mostly been watching what's been happening.

They haven't really been

cracking heads or anything, right?

And it seems like there was a, I guess you'd call it a political decision made at some point at some higher level to just let this happen.

Yeah.

Right?

Yes.

But you can't let the CNN report happen.

No, you can't let that happen.

Now you've gone too far.

Unbelievable.

They burned down Target,

all these places, and they let them go in there and take all this stuff out.

This has got nothing to do with the memory of

this person who was murdered by everyone's estimation.

We've taken this situation where we all agreed on something finally and

literally

lit it on fire within 48 hours.

You know, now

you've got people on television justifying the looting because of course they're upset.

That's why they're taking these TVs.

Like, that is not a one does not lead to the other.

I'm sorry.

And, you know, it's honestly like, there's definitely a tinge of racism in that analysis.

It's like, you know,

it's like, well,

we have to accept it because this community is going to do that because they're upset.

It's like they're not holding African-American communities to the same standard as white communities or any other community because they act as if they are not able to control the

music.

I mean, look at the mom of

George

Floyd.

She clearly was

absolutely saying, don't do this.

90%, 99% of that community is at home terrified for their lives in the middle of this.

You got a couple thousand people out there lighting everything on fire and idiot white people going on television trying to justify it.

Yeah, it's unbelievable.

It really is.

Did you see the Cardi B tweet yesterday?

I definitely did not.

With 100% certainty.

Well, of course, I'm a huge follower and fan of Cardi B.

You go to all her concerts saying, you know, all of her CDs.

Yeah.

You have it all.

It's so good.

And then she tweets this out, which I think is brilliant.

Here's what she said: The people are left with no choice

but to riot, but to loot.

She says,

They looting in Minnesota, and as much as I don't like this type of violence, it is what it is.

Well, that's powerful.

Thank you, Curtina.

That's powerful.

It is really deep.

A lot of it is.

And you can't argue with it.

There's a lot of this justification, man.

There is a lot of it going on.

And, you know, you can be,

you can be a person who thinks what happened to george floyd is absolutely unconscionable i mean i none of us can understand how it happened right that does not mean you go get a free xbox it's just that is those two things just don't go together no they do not one does not cause the other it is of course it's it isn't like it is what it is like no

You can just not

and of course lots of people in the community didn't do that.

You know, they're not going to get any hype because they're the ones hiding in in their homes, right, as they're watching the place they go to buy formula for their child burn to the ground.

What a win this one is.

Hey, you know, we, we've, they built, they burnt down a brand new, uh, under construction, uh, affordable housing project.

Yeah, could this community have?

$30 million had been spent on this thing already.

Now, down the tubes.

It was going to house 190 families.

It's gone now.

It's gone.

Okay, what sense did that make?

Was that a good move?

No, these are not sensible moves, and they're not done by people who give a crap about George Floyd.

No.

No one who is out there setting Target on fire has any connection to the cause, to the movement, to anything other than selfish nonsense.

That is not how you react.

And

it's certainly going to do nothing but hurt.

You know,

I don't know if we mentioned this on this show yesterday, but but if I was to say right now, hey, you know what, I'm opening up a, I actually just got a nice little condo in Watts.

Immediately, every single person in their head would say, oh my gosh,

the Riots Place.

It was 55 years ago and you still think of it as the Riots Place.

Right.

It destroys your community for decades to come.

What do you think of when you think of Ferguson?

Yeah.

Rioting.

Rioting.

Now, is Ferguson better than it was five years ago, six years ago, in the middle of the riots?

I'm sure it is.

It's something.

is that the impression that the average American would get?

I don't think so.

No, we all remember.

Yeah.

I mean, look what, when bad things happen in a place, even if it's not rioting, I mean, what do you think of when you think of Waco, Texas?

Now you might think of Chip and Joanna.

It took a long time to get there.

Up until then, you thought of

the David Koresh situation.

Yep, totally.

And it wasn't even in Waco, by the way.

Which is the craziest thing.

It's like, well, watching those reports back, because I was watching that series on Netflix uh recently with waco i don't know if you if you haven't seen it it's pretty good oh yeah and uh and they're like they're showing the news reports and like 14 miles outside of waco i'm like 14 miles like we've been calling it this waco this entire time it was 14 miles outside of town oh man

Thank you for listening to the Glenn Beck Program today with Patton Stu.

Glenn's on vacation.

He'll be back on Monday morning, triple 8727, seven, B-E-C-K.

By the way, you can listen to my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday morning, 7 to 9 Eastern time, right before the Glenn Peck program, or on podcast, you know, anytime at your leisure.

Also, YouTube got a YouTube page as well.

Love for you to subscribe there, sign up, rate, all of those things on both the podcasts and YouTube.

And Stu feels the same way for some reason about the show he does.

That is how I feel Stuart.

And he does call

Doing America every single night, 8 p.m.

Eastern on Blaze TV, and also.

Which I'm not sure

that's not right.

America seems to like it.

But I haven't asked them, so it's a typical Me Too era sort of problem.

Yeah, it really is.

It really is.

It's rarely even asked.

Another problem we've been having is rioting on behalf of a man who was murdered at the hands of police.

None of it makes any sense.

But apparently, this is a license now and has been for a while to riot, to loot, and then the police stand by and do nothing about it um there are some people that are a little disgusted by it

here is here is one guy talking about using your brains people

uh

this is awesome listen to this this is for

everybody out there that's trying to use their brains okay

before it actually became a riot the media was calling it a riot You find that there are hundreds of people that are being arrested that have been bused into Minnesota.

They don't even live there.

The police commissioner actually said it.

The mayor will tell you he don't care.

You have 400 years of slavery.

Go ahead and destroy everything going on around here.

But let me tell you why he's saying that.

Oh, these liberals are devils.

He's saying that because you're not riding on his block where his house is.

That's why.

It's because you're riding in your own neighborhood and destroying your own neighborhood.

All of those targets, I'm pretty sure, tons of black folks from that neighborhood worked in that target and now they're not going to have a job to go to either.

With the pandemic already crippling economies and already hurting your area, they already knew this is going to make it worse for you.

They're letting you destroy your own homes, and you're doing it willingly.

And George Soros is sending people to hell.

Then he starts in on George Soros.

So why we cut it off before that?

I don't know why, but

guy's brilliant.

I mean,

pointing out the fact that a lot of these people aren't even from Minneapolis or Minnesota.

They're being bussed in because they're activists who are there to cause trouble.

And then the mayor saying, ah, yeah, you know, it's kind of understandable.

It's a little bit justified what they're doing.

Yeah, if it was

on his block at his house that was burning,

he might feel differently about it.

You think?

I think so.

You know,

I love the people who were willing to step up in these moments because it's not easy.

You know, it's not easy to make these public statements.

There was a great,

there's been some great utilization of the Second Amendment the way it was intended in defense of you and your own property.

This

one black gun owner, he is, they were, or actually two of them, they were defending their business standing outside with rifles.

Listen,

they said, run up in here and see what happened.

I'm fan out here with them blicks own them.

Blicks own them.

Run up in this.

Black owned.

You see that?

Black own.

Run up in this.

Oh, my mama, we're going to do that to y'all.

You can see in front of of the store, they're all standing out there with the rifles.

Like, come, come get our stuff.

You know, one of the crazy things is they are putting signs in the window that say minority-owned, black-owned business, as if that means you're supposed to skip the business, I guess.

And these protesters are still burning them down, too.

And they're damaging those buildings as well.

There's also a couple.

Now, Pat, this is one of those situations.

I know nothing about these two guys outside of this video.

And I know that once we play the video, someone's going to what they call milkshake duck them, which is a kind of an internet thing where you, you know, oh, look at that cute duck.

It's drinking a milkshake.

Oh, the duck is racist.

Like, it's like you're going to find out something terrible about these guys right after.

But I love their attitude.

This is

these guys were just out walking around with, you know, with guns and helping local businesses defend themselves.

Listen to this clip.

So basically, you've seen the records that cops keep,

I love that heavily armed rednecks.

They go on to explain how they feel about the riots, the protests themselves, the actual underlying thing that this was based on,

not the looting, but the actual protests.

And

a little bit more about their motivation, which is great as well.

Listen, we heard that.

We're like, well, we better kid up and go see if these guys need help.

And turns out these guys around here were machetes and shattered windows trying to keep looters out of the business because cops can't get in here.

And so, you know, I figured before they were cops, they were just Americans.

So here we are.

Are you out during the LA riots?

Or during the LA riots?

Collateral damage, I guess.

That's where he all he got from rooftop Koreans.

So bottom line, Justin for Floyd, and I hope they stop looting at some point.

If there were more of us, we could go stop from looting, but it's just us four.

But we definitely don't agree with the looting.

Yeah, no, we do agree with the cause for the protest.

Yeah, definite protesting.

I mean, look at that.

We agree with the cause for the protests, but not the looting.

And he mentions the rooftop Koreans from the LA protests where those guys were defending with guns from their roof their shops in the middle of those riots, and their Second Amendment protected their businesses.

You're seeing that again here in Minneapolis.

You could say, you know, they always, I remember, I think it was Sarah Silverman back in the day when one of the gun issues was going on.

And she, you know, she's very impressed with her own intellect and decided she had the greatest point of all time, which was, hey, Second Amendment, you know, right-wingers,

how about this?

We'll just start giving black people guns.

Okay, go ahead.

In fact, some of them already have guns.

First of all, they already have guns, but secondly, sounds wonderful.

Yeah.

Yeah, they have the Second Amendment is theirs too.

It's not just ours.

It's everybody's.

It's actually a constitutionally guaranteed right.

She's thinking that that's going to frighten the heck out of her.

She's white people.

She's all racist.

She thinks so.

White people are racist

and that they would expect black people to just start shooting randomly in the crowds.

How can they handle it?

And it's like, how do you even have that that impression?

That says so much more about you than it does about us.

Doesn't it?

I'm thrilled.

There was a program, and I would love to track this down and see what the progress was with it, but it was an organization, a pro-Second Amendment organization, I think it was in Houston, that decided they were going to literally just give free guns to people

in minority communities that felt that they needed them, that, you know, all through responsible means, but, you know, maybe they couldn't afford them.

Guns aren't the cheapest thing in the world.

And they were giving them to them to help protect their families.

And there was this like, oh my gosh,

you're just

giving guns away?

Well,

yeah, you know, the right's already there.

You know, whether if the finances aren't there and they need protection, what a great way to do it.

You know, if the police can't get there, if

that takes time.

I love their attitude there, Pat, of like, look, before there were police, it was regular people just stopping this stuff.

And here we are.

We've got our guns.

We're out here.

We're defending business owners.

And that's why we're here.

We're just Americans defending Americans.

Awesome.

It's great.

Yeah.

So, you know, again, we're going to find out that they led a genocide in Mongolia 13 years ago

or something terrible about these.

Because as soon as you get a nice video on the internet, you know it has to be ruined by somebody.

Absolutely.

They're looking for information on these guys right now.

Absolutely.

Here's what they tweeted in 2007.

Yes.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

All I know is for that couple of minutes, they're like my favorite people.

You know what else is driving me out of my mind and says more about the people making the accusation is the word thugs.

All of a sudden, if thugs is used, and of course the president used it again on Twitter describing the people who are acting like thugs and looting and rioting.

Since when is that a descriptor for only black people?

That has never been a descriptor for, so that says a lot about you

if you're saying that's what it means.

Yes.

That doesn't mean that to me.

Why do you assume?

You're right.

That's what that means.

Thugs can be white.

They can be any, they can be a rainbow of colors.

Here's the definition.

A violent person, especially a criminal.

Nothing to do with black people.

Nothing to do with color.

Nothing to do with color whatsoever.

And they've tried to, you know, the media, the left, has tried to

take a lot of words and make them only about black people.

like Chicago like apartment.

Yes.

Like I've lived in apartments and I am incredibly white.

I'm like one of the whitest people you'll ever meet in your entire life.

Lived in apartments.

You know, I've been to Chicago.

I've never lived in Chicago, but plenty of white people do.

It is not these things, like they're trying to build this structure that

you say any word to describe a person and it's going to come down to, well, what you mean is their skin color.

Well, it's not what we mean.

no it's not what i don't think that's what the president meant it shows how much they're thinking about that particular thing yeah how much they care about whether a person is black or white or brown they they that's that's all they spend their time thinking about yeah and look there is the those undertones are obviously part of incidents like this and the reaction to an incident where a white cop uh kills a black person

You are we all know that that's going to be part of the analysis afterward.

It is important to try to decipher whether it was actually present in this case.

We know there was bad police work.

We know there was what I would call a murder, at least, although the charges haven't been officially

leveled yet.

But we don't have any evidence yet that this police officer was doing this for racial reasons.

I mean, we know that, like, we do have evidence that Amy Klobuchar didn't prosecute this officer after previous conduct complaints.

And you can

watch those VP hopes dissolve in front of your eyes as this report comes out.

She became a senator and top contender for Joe Biden as VP, spent eight years as a county attorney in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis.

While in that position, Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force and did not prosecute the officer who knelt on Floyd's neck as he protested.

This is not, I don't, I don't know how

she's not a dynamic candidate anyway.

She may have been a good choice because she's not incredibly offensive to

a moderate who might vote for Joe Biden.

But

after this, I don't see how, I don't see how she can get it.

You know, this is, you know, the biggest story in America, and it's going to be tough for her to overcome something like this.

I don't think they're going to want to put her anybody.

I think it hurts Kamala Harris, too.

She had nothing to do with this particular case, but prosecutors are not going to be favored in the Democratic Party for a while.

They seem to not like law and order.

When, and you know, a lot of the things that Kamala Harris did while as a prosecutor, and same with Klobuchar, are defensible.

You know, it may not have been the right thing to do, but when does right and wrong have anything to do with this argument anymore?

It really has nothing to do with the way these things get analyzed.

Yeah.

Interesting tweeting from President Trump the last couple of days.

I still say

he should take his 80 million followers, go to another platform.

I think that would make such a strong statement

to Jack

and to all of Twitter.

Just leave the form and then just use Twitter to promote the other platform.

Yeah,

join me on X Platform,

whatever it is.

Yeah, that'd be brilliant.

Anyway, he tweeted he can't stand back and watch this happen to a great American city, Minneapolis.

Lack of leadership.

Either the very weak radical left mayor, Jacob Frye, get his act together and bring the city under control, or I will send in the National Guard and get the job done right.

It's again, you know,

governors who send in National Guard.

These things are just not important.

Let's not let that get in the way.

Oh, what an adventure this is.

I will say, is this the same tweet that he ended with the

first looting, then shooting or whatever?

He said, these thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen.

Just spoke to Governor Governor Tim Walz and told him that the military is with him all the way.

Any difficulty, and we will assume control.

Which again,

yeah, no.

But when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

Thank you.

The end.

Was he picturing people standing up and applauding right then?

I feel like as he's typing it, he's like, yeah.

Yeah.

This is where the applause happened.

So this is interesting for a couple of reasons.

Number one, something we talked about yesterday, which is, did you notice yesterday Donald Trump was not part of this story at all?

Because the only thing he had tweeted about it was, we're going to start an investigation.

This was wrong.

We're going to make sure we get justice.

No one reported on that at all.

No one cared.

Now he came out with this one, which obviously is a little more inflammatory.

And now everyone's talking about how it's his fault and he's doing, he's making this worse.

And Twitter has come out and put a warning on the tweet saying it violates community standards.

They are not backing down from Trump as Trump did the executive order yesterday.

They said, now there's a button you have to click to reveal the tweet.

And the tweet says the, you know, first looting, then shooting or whatever it was.

I just remember it rhyming.

Just like,

man,

this is a bizarre world.

I mean, do you remember when Twitter kind of came on the scene?

And it was such a

like a...

a jokey way to deal with things.

Like, how do you get anything across in these little messages?

And it just seemed like a cheap way.

Like, people would try to be like, you know, I lost my dad yesterday.

And it just felt like cheap and weird.

And now that's just how we get presidential statements all the time.

Yeah.

It's just, yeah, 280 characters at a time.

And we just, that's how everyone, of course, that's how we get them.

It is.

It is so strange, but I think you're right.

He's given so much free advertising to Twitter over the years.

If he really is pissed off about this, just go to another place.

There are other places.

And half the country will go with you.

And then maybe that will break down Twitter.

Definitely.

Featuring Patents Due for one more day this week.

Just an unconscionable situation in Minneapolis.

First of all, the tragedy that brought all of this down on Minneapolis was just,

it's unspeakable, really.

I don't know a single person who was okay with what the cops did.

in this situation.

Everybody I know of, everybody I've heard, everyone I've talked to considers it murder by the police.

But the looting and the rioting, they just don't make sense, especially the looting.

And if you want to peacefully protest and not riot, that's completely understandable.

Yes, completely.

And we're all behind that.

But when you're destroying property for no reason or just stealing from people,

I'm sorry.

We can't, I can't go there with you.

And they're burning down all kinds of, they burned down a police station, a precinct last night.

The police just evacuated the building so they could do that.

And then the looters ran through the police station and stole evidence.

Okay.

Incredible.

And then burned down the building.

It's really incredible.

Don Lemon was talking about this last night.

Now, Don doesn't, he has a really interesting question.

And he's going to press you hard on this.

You're going to be like, wow, I need to rethink the way my life is operating when he asks you this deep,

cutting question in his typical,

you know, seemingly once every single night, drawn out,

solemn,

overdramatized, overdramatized,

where he pauses

for three or four seconds.

Between each phrase.

He did one of those things last night.

And he is, he, you know what?

He's cut to our core here, Pat.

Oh, boy.

He's now, he's asking.

Does he see right through us?

He sees right through us, doesn't he?

He does.

We're so transparent to his steely glaze.

Here is Don.

If you read some of what people are saying, and if you watch some of conservative media, you would think people are mourning a target.

Oh, my gosh.

What?

When you look at the picture of

what they are focusing on.

Okay, so people should not be rioting.

Do you understand what is behind that rioting?

Oh, okay.

No.

People should not be

looting.

Do you understand what's behind that looting?

Do you have as much outrage

for that?

Why was there a pause between the two?

Or for a man on the ground?

No, I had more outrage for the man on the ground.

No, he hasn't asked the question yet.

Oh.

Eight, nine minutes?

What are you more outraged by?

Yeah.

What matters more, as you said,

a highly insured store, No one wants to lose their business.

Don't get me wrong.

And don't twist what I'm saying.

Oh, no, we're not going to twist it.

There's nuance.

And I know people will say, oh, well, don't say that I'm encouraging rioting.

I'm not encouraging rioting.

Well, you really are.

You kind of are, actually.

What is going on?

You're justifying it so that you're not.

So when you really think about

this, Patrick is warning a target store.

Yeah, why not warning it?

Why?

Why, Pat?

Or an auto body store.

What about an automobile store?

Yeah.

And you're not placing that same emphasis, if not more, on the conditions that led to this happening.

Conditions

that

led

to this

happening.

Okay,

this is going to shock Don Lemon.

Wow.

We're all more pissed off about the guy dying than the target.

No question.

All of us more pissed off about a human life going away than the target.

I'd love to ask Don if he minds about the millions of children that don't exist because of the policy he endorses called abortion, because we care about those lives too, and you never seem to care about any of those.

Yeah, and about 16 million of them are black lives.

Yeah.

So black lives do matter.

They matter to us.

They do matter to us.

But let's just take a step back from this.

Think of the thought process that has to go through this this guy's mind where he thinks this is a good point, where he thinks people are going to be like, No, well, yeah, but they've got the food court in there too.

You can't just say it's just Target.

They've got the place where you can get the pretzels,

and

they've got, you know, Target, they've got that whole clothing area, and Super Target's got groceries in there, too.

So I do more than that more than the black man.

We all

care more about someone being unjustly killed than a business going away.

Yes.

However, in addition to that, Don, it matters that these people's livelihoods are being destroyed and people like you are going on television saying we need to understand it.

Well, I don't understand it.

I cannot understand both of those things.

I don't understand why a black man would get killed in that way.

And I don't understand why to make it better means burning down target.

I don't get either of those two points.

Either of them.

Neither of them should happen.

So if we make mistake one, if terrible thing one happens, do we do terrible thing two?

I understand you're saying you're not encouraging it, but you sure as hell are justifying it.

You're saying it's understandable in the circumstances.

It's not understandable in the circumstances.

We talked about this yesterday, where

We have military members that will capture ISIS people and not torture them and not kill them.

With every justification, every moral justification to say these person should not be on the planet.

We still don't do it.

It's not the way we do things in almost every case.

And when people

do that wrong and they break those rules, they get in trouble.

There are things that go against that.

There's nobody getting in trouble for the looting.

There's nobody getting in trouble.

for burning these buildings down.

You know, there are signs up all over town that say black-owned, minority-owned businesses that are owned by minorities.

Losses by black people.

They don't care.

They're taking the stuff anyway.

What does that have to do with

George Floyd?

Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Inexplicable.

Inexplicable.

And

this idea that it would be a, this is a big gotcha question.

Why do you care more?

About Target.

Like,

Don, you moron.

We all care more about the guy.

But the thing is, we all agree on the guy.

Yes.

We agree on the lead.

We don't all agree, apparently, on the looting.

Apparently not.

I thought that would be obvious.

Wow.

You know, I think we could look at the looting as

a series of terrible crimes that, yes, aren't as bad as a murder.

There's a reason our justice system deals with them differently.

We have all, as a society, recognized murder worse than property damage.

But property damage is really bad too.

Stop justifying it.

Stop it.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

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

We should ask Don

Lemon,

which

of these businesses, Stu is about

to name,

deserved to be burned down.

That was a powerful

setup.

Thank you.

Yeah,

it really was.

Because I guess, you know, look, a target, it's a big company,

right?

I mean, they've got insurance.

They've got insurance.

Whatever.

It doesn't matter.

Let them burn to the ground.

It's completely destroyed.

Yeah.

It's so.

Autozone.

And that went down.

down.

How many auto zones are there?

A lot of them.

Yeah.

A lot of them.

You know, and yeah, there are.

There was Target.

It was AutoZone.

There was an O'Reilly's auto parts as well.

And people are hitting these things, but

you have to also include, you know, Dollar General.

Burned down.

All of them, there was some damage, fire.

Sometimes it was windows broken, sometimes looting.

Okay.

Twin Lake Dental,

big enemies of the community, apparently.

Home choice, Tepanyaki Grill, Little Caesars, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, ICC Wireless, Henneman County Human Service Center, J-Clips, Wells Fargo, HD Laundry, City Trends, Total Wireless, Pineda Tacos, which actually

tacos sound really good right now,

Subway, Seven Mile Fashion Express, Fremont Bar, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Quality Tobacco,

Maxit Pawn Shop, Hexagon Bar, and Target, and Wendy's, which again, Wendy's.

Wendy's.

They serve Frosty's.

It's right before summer.

What are you doing burning that place down?

That doesn't make any sense.

A cool drink in the summer is going to be very valuable.

You never burn down a Wendy's.

And also AutoZone.

Oh, and Cub Foods, the grocery store.

Cub Foods, okay.

Cub Foods.

Yeah.

And burn that down.

And there was that.

You've heard about that affordable housing.

Yes, we talked about that.

There was a $30 million place.

$30 million affordable housing place.

And then there was the Seven Sigma building and the Minneapolis Third Police Precinct, of course, which we talked about earlier.

And then there was the Dollar Tree.

Okay.

And the T-Mobile store, of course.

And High Lake Liquor.

Okay, but just those.

Just those places.

And along with Speedway, obviously.

And of course, one of the big villains of the community, the East Lake Library.

Oh, thank goodness they got rid of that.

Finally, that went down because those books.

What are they doing?

What are they doing to the community?

Bad things.

Propagandizing people.

Same thing with precision auto-tune care,

which is also damaged

and or destroyed.

U.S.

Bank,

Dairy Queen,

Papa Murphy's Pizza, Planet Fitness.

Of course, needed to go, though.

Especially if you go to Papa Murphy's Pizza, you might need Planet Fitness.

Well, now they're both gone.

You don't have to worry about it anyway.

Sure.

Domino's Pizza, obviously.

Urban Forge Winery Insider House.

The Gandhi Mahal restaurant, of course.

Oh, it's

minority owned.

Minority-owned steaks.

They did put a sign and it did not help them.

Car X Tire and Auto.

No one's going to be able to get their car fixed in this community for a very long time.

They did a lot of auto stores

down here.

Ace Hardware.

So they can't look for the place with the helpful hardware man anymore, right?

I think that's exactly

Ace is the place with the helpful hardware store.

I know, something like that.

Okay.

Minnesota Transitions Charter School, which is a real cause of

the foundational racism in this country.

Yes.

Laundro Max, also.

White Supremacist.

Right.

I think.

What does bleach do to your clothes?

Turn them white.

Yes.

Sauterberg's floral and gift.

East Lake Clinic, obviously.

But that's.

Is that about it?

That's the.

Well, that in Seward Pharmacy.

Okay.

And.

oh, Electra Toon Auto Care.

And Walgreens.

Also, Elevated Beer, Wine, and Spirits.

We should point that out.

That's another one.

And Schooner's Tavern.

All of these

damaged or completely destroyed.

Seward Co-op, too.

Okay.

And we shouldn't forget Midtown Global Market, which is also

damaged or destroyed.

Well, people have been complaining about their racism for a really long time.

That's true.

I guess so.

Brive Health.

Okay.

Foot Locker.

BMO, Harris, TCF Bank,

Studio 23,

DTLR,

Uptown Pond,

La Familia Skate Shop, another Target, Chicago Lake and Liquor, East Lake Liquor,

Ingabretson's.

I don't know what that is.

Freewheel Bike.

Homdy Restaurant.

Hudson's Hardware, Birchwood Cafe.

How much time do we have on the show?

I'm a little nervous.

CVS, Timberland, Sunny's, Thurston's Jewelers, Bonadier Pharmacy, Sephora, GameStop, Indulge and Bloom, HM, The Apple Store,

Urban Outfitters, Smokeless Northeast,

another

AutoZone.

Just like

these poor AutoZone people.

BuzzMart.

Town Talk Diner.

And then in St.

Paul, Lloyd's Pharmacy, Target, a third Target, CVS, a second CVS, Max at Pawn Shop, Verizon, Noodles and Company, Vitamin Shop, Big Top Liquors, TJ Maxx, Sprint, Midway, Napa, T-Mobile, Lian Chin Midway, America's Best Contacts, Furniture Barn, BP, Walgreens, Discount Tire, O'Reilly Auto Parts, TCF Bank, Lululemon, Speedway, Anya Dance, Springboard for the Arts University, Seven Mile Sports Sportswear, Fire and Ice Chicken, Liquor Barrel, Moeller's Jewelry, The Fixery, Bol A, Ethiopian Restaurant, and Enterprise University.

That is the current and probably partial list of the businesses that have gone down completely in flames or have suffered heavy damages.

Okay, why do you care about them more than you care about George Floyd?

I don't get that.

300 bucks a month in your bank, maybe $500 or $1,000.

What would your future look like if that were the case?

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

We're just naming his, and it's, you know, it's just a partial list of businesses that have been severely damaged or even in some cases completely destroyed by the rioting and the looters.

And we don't mention this because they matter more than George Floyd, Don Lemon, but we mention it because this shouldn't happen.

There's no reason to burn down the businesses in this area.

You're only hurting the owners of

those businesses, and they're mostly might already owned.

There's a phrasing, two wrongs don't make a right.

Yeah.

That kind of seems, yes, the murder is really bad and worse, right?

I care more about someone dying than a bunch of businesses getting burned to the ground.

However, it's like the same thing.

We've heard the same thing with the coronavirus situation.

It's like, oh, you don't care about old people because you want to open up the economy.

No, we care about both.

We care more.

Do we care more about people dying than a business being open?

Sure.

However, like we need to look at the bigger picture and realize that the economy, as we call it, is a collection of people being able to feed themselves and their families, being able to get health insurance, being able to innovate, being able to do every good thing that civilization has brought us.

That's what the economy is.

It's not a stock market.

It's a collection of people working together to make civilization as we know it.

So yes, that is worth protecting as well.

The same thing here.

You know,

it is not a choice between whether, oh, you know what?

Well, we, we, look, we just care more about the big box store than we do with the African-American gentleman.

That's all.

And you just listed off over 120, like a hundred.

125.

125 businesses.

I just, that's a part, you know, a partial list.

Bring me the news is the one that has it,

local Minnesota site.

33 in St.

Paul, 92 in Minneapolis.

And that's after two nights.

I can tell you, I did this list on Stew Does America, which, by the way, you can subscribe to if you want to check out that show because we went through a lot of this stuff last night.

The list wasn't nearly this large last night because I did it before night two of the rallies where they probably doubled the list.

And what's going to keep happening?

Wow.

I mean, think of the gull to go in

and take

over a police department, burn it to the ground, break into the evidence room, and remove the evidence.

That is,

you have complete confidence nothing is going to happen to you.

They were right.

And, you know, as far as arrests or anything like that, and that's, which is crazy because this all starts because someone

dies in a situation where they didn't do anything to deserve it.

So when you're going in there and you're becoming violent to other citizens, to police officers, you're much more likely, you'd think, to have problems with the police.

Instead, they just drive away.

Just go ahead and take it over.

I mean, I understand that their their life is in danger, too.

And this is going to be a shocking thing for a lot of people to hear, but blue lives matter, too.

So, yeah, you know, I mean, it's a racist thing to say, Stu.

You're just, your racism is just spilling out of you today.

Really?

It's spilling out.

By saying that.

By saying that blue lives matter?

Yeah, police officers.

I think they should live.

That's completely racist.

To say that police officers should be.

Because the thing you must only say is that black lives matter.

Now you've said blue lives matter as well.

Well, I'll just be broadened.

I'll just say all lives matter.

Wow.

Wow.

Do you hate people?

Why do you hate minority people?

Now I'm saying all lives.

Wow, that is unbelievable.

I'm glad America is hearing this.

See, see what you really are all about.

This is Don Lemon's monologue tonight, except you have a lot more pauses in it.

888727 back is the phone number.

Man, I don't know what else you do other than laugh.

I don't know how else to handle it.

It's just, this is

a terrible freaking time.

And we should go into this, too.

I think a a lot of it, there's, there's a tie to the coronavirus thing in here too, that I want to talk about at some point today.

Maybe we can get into that coming up.

It's Pat and Stewart.

Glenn this week.

You know, Pat, there's some things that are just universal truths, you know?

All men are created equal, you know.

We've talked about many of these over the years.

I believe there's a new one that has just sprung into the national

consciousness, which is Andrew Cuomo is awful.

That is a universal truth.

I think it is.

And look,

I don't invent universal truth.

I just live by it.

Right.

That's all we can do.

What are we going to do?

We can't stop it.

No.

It's a universal truth.

No, he's awful.

Andrew Cuomo is awful.

Yeah.

And despite that.

Sounds like something that should be a universal truth that should maybe be, I don't know, emblazoned on a mug or something.

What a great recommendation, Pat.

Just finished it.

It's up now.

What?

Andrew Cuomo is awful.

No way.

Yeah.

You can go.

I just tweeted it if you're on Twitter.

Amazing.

It's Stu Does America.

Or you can go to stewdoesmerch.com and get there.

It's interesting.

I was looking at the Stu Does Merch page, and the best-selling items are the Andrew Cuomo is Awful mug and the Nancy Pelosi Sucks Commemorative Pen, which is...

I don't know what the audience is saying exactly.

Well, they're just citing universal truth.

Universal truth, which is great.

Nancy Pelosi does, she sucks.

She does.

I mean, she just sucks.

She just does.

So if you want to get your Andrew Cuomo was awful mug or your Nancy Pelosi sucks pen, all available at stewdoesmerch.com.

You have a new thing out, too.

What is that?

Yes, it is,

I don't know, ask Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark.

Because

when the governor of New Jersey was mandating certain things, I think it was, he mandated that you couldn't go outside without a mask and there was shutting down businesses and so on.

And then he appeared on, I think it was Fox, and they asked him an interesting question, and there was an interesting answer to it.

By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights?

I called up Cardinal Tobin, Cardinal Joe Tobin in Newark.

So that's essentially what happened there in the interview.

How did you nullify the Bill of Rights?

Well, I called up Cardinal Tobin, Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark.

So that's been a thing ever since.

Ever since on the show, Pac Ray Unleashed.

And so this is

the t-shirt now is, I don't know, called Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark.

He's the one who decides.

He can nullify the Bill of Rights.

That's a big thing.

It's a big thing.

Big responsibility.

So, yes,

that's our new t-shirt.

Do we know if Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark has this shirt yet?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You got to believe he ordered ordered it.

I would think so.

Because I would like to have that if it was me, right?

Right.

So that everybody knows that you're the decider.

He's the decider.

The ultimate decider.

So you can get that at shop.blazemedia.com.

I believe it goes.

The government.

Yes.

The people.

You know,

the Constitution.

Right.

God.

Yes.

Cardinal

Joe of Newark.

Right?

That's the order.

That's the hierarchy.

Yes.

You seem to have it down.

Thank you.

Pretty quickly there.

All right.

And people, people,

we can tweet that out as well, a link to that page.

Yes.

I'm fascinated by this.

I'm also fascinated by an additional aspect to this.

I was thinking about this as you're watching the fires burn Minnesota to the ground.

That there is a tie-in to what we've been going through here the past few months.

And

I think we're going to wind up in an area where you lock down a population for eight, 10 weeks, you take 40 million of their jobs away, whether you think it's worth it or not, right?

Like you might say, this is the worst thing ever.

We saved a lot of lives, but like there's an effect of that, as we've talked about.

We obviously know the economics effects are there.

There are effects with drinking, and

there's a potential effect of suicide, which hasn't been shown in the numbers yet, but obviously

there's a scare there from people killing themselves, not just from losing jobs, but also from losing relatives, right?

Like, there's all sorts of things.

There's a a lot of negative effects about this.

And

there's a real

examination of the data that shows that minority communities have been hit much harder with this than suburban communities, white communities all across America.

That's something that's shown pretty clearly in the data that they're trying to figure out what's going on with that.

And you look at this and you say, here, now you have a community who is dealing with

a terrible incident, one that is unjust.

And you also have a very,

uh, a very,

everybody in the country is filled with angst right now, probably

from the police on down.

Everybody has is pissed off about something.

Either a relative has died or lost their jobs.

We are in a tinderbox coming out of this thing.

Like, we don't, you don't go into a lockdown like this, and then when people come out, they're all really happy.

Gosh, I'm so glad we're able to go out again.

I mean, a lot of people will react like that.

I certainly have reacted like that.

I haven't burned anything down.

But you can understand that there would be

a heightened tension, right?

So these types of events, which do happen, but again, statistically are rare,

will wind up setting these things off, I think, more often coming out of this.

People are unemployed.

They're angry at the country.

They're angry at the situation.

They're angry at life, man.

And there's an increase in alcohol.

There's an increase in drugs.

There's an increase in, you know, they've talked about domestic violence going up.

This is across all communities.

And those things all sort of thrown into a tender.

I mean,

this could

give us a lot of the sort of civil unrest we've worried about for such a long time.

And certainly Minnesota's dealing with that right now.

And I think there is a tie to people are in a situation where they're already massively uncomfortable for a hundred reasons.

And something sets you off and things can escalate very quickly.

Again, not an excuse.

Doesn't mean you don't make judgments.

You still need to make rational decisions.

But we have a formula here that needs to be really thought carefully about.

It's not ideal.

It's suboptimal, Pat.

Suboptimal.

Yes, I would say it is.

Below the optimal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You can think of a lot of things that are more optimal than this.

Yes.

The situation right now is that, I don't know, civilization is collapsing.

It seems like it does feel that way a little bit.

Consumer spending fell a record 14% in April.

Okay.

14%.

In one month.

In one month.

Let's see.

The saving rate, which is the difference between disposable income and spending, surged to 13.1% from 8%.

So people are protecting their cash a little bit.

So it's partially people losing their jobs, partially people protecting what they do have.

We also are in a situation where the government's dished out trillions and trillions of dollars.

Let's just project to the future a little, shall we?

When the government isn't dumping multiple trillions of dollars into the economy every week or two.

What happens then?

We were talking about this yesterday with the stock market, which just seems to be really strong and hanging up there.

And that's a good sign in that maybe investors are seeing something and they're confident in keeping their money in the market.

But it's hard to imagine on the other side of this that we don't have a really rough recovery, which is going to lead to multiple other problems as well.

Yeah, the stock market being at 25,000 again,

a little over that, in fact,

would lead you to believe that people are really optimistic about recovery, that it's going to happen.

It's going to happen pretty quickly and it's going to come back strong.

And there are some people saying that it will.

On the other hand, it just might not.

It's going to be interesting to see if the government ever stops giving away money, what happens at that point.

I'm not convinced they're going to, though, because the Fed chairman, was it last week or the week before, said, oh, we've got all kinds of bullets left in our arsenal to fight this thing.

We can continue to do this for a long time.

Interest rates are at zero.

Really?

What else are you doing?

Yeah, what are you going to do?

You're just printing money?

Yeah.

And, you know, I think that is a basically true statement, at least until November.

And they are going to do that.

In the middle of a presidential election, it's going to be hard to see anyone justify.

I mean, I think parts of the, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the additional unemployment payment of $600 a week taken away

because that is, I think, clearly incentivizing some people to not go back to work when they can't.

It is.

When you're making more money not working than working.

Yeah.

I mean,

it just makes sense that people are going to keep doing that.

Yeah.

I have a friend of a friend who's in this situation, and he

has a job, was supposed to go back to work.

They were opening back up.

Didn't really like the job though.

Kind of was thinking about quitting anyway before all this stuff happened.

Is now getting unemployment plus $600, which leads him to get more money per week than he was making before.

And it's like, well,

I mean, look, I understand the societal situation here,

but from a personal interest standpoint, there's only one choice there.

Yeah, you want to leave the job anyway.

Now you're going to get unemployment plus $600

to not go back.

A lot of people are going to make that choice.

A lot of people are.

They just are.

They're human.

Plus, nobody cares anymore.

Nobody cares.

Republicans don't care.

Democrats never cared.

No.

And so now that there's nobody pushing back on them, no one cares.

Just spend all you want.

We'll print more.

It's just keep doing it.

So I don't care now.

Yes.

Just send me money.

Yeah.

It's fine.

There you go.

Mark Cuban had this idea where every couple of weeks, the government should just, they send you a debit card and then they continually charge it every couple of weeks with $1,200.

I'm good with that.

Just send me free $1,200 every couple of weeks.

Someone's going to have to pay this off.

And look,

our kids are going to have to pay for this.

Our grandkids, our great-grandkids.

Beyond that, let them fend for themselves.

Great-great-grandkids and on.

They can do whatever.

I don't know.

I'm never going to meet them.

They can do whatever.

Whatever happens to them, happens to to them.

But the next couple of generations, I am worried about, Pat.

It's just, it can't be repaid at this point.

We're at 25 trillion.

It can't be repaid.

How do you ever pay that down?

We're not going to.

Because first of all, again, no one cares.

That is the issue.

There's nobody even dealing with that and thinking about that or trying to do it.

I think you could make the argument that for a long time, no one has cared.

However, at least the Republicans used to fake it.

Right.

And there is value in faking that you care because at least then you're going in front of the American people and saying you're going to push back.

And so the Democrats, instead of increasing the budget by $100 billion, can only do it by $50 billion.

At least we're holding it back a little bit.

Now, nobody cares.

Right.

Nobody.

Thomas Massey.

Thomas Massey's out there saying, you know what?

I don't think I should spend it.

It's about him.

And he gets his head kicked in when he says something about it.

Yes.

So now it's Nancy Pelosi says, we need another trillion dollars.

And then the president says, no, I think we need $2 trillion.

Yes.

And then then Nancy Pelosi says, Oh, yeah,

what about, yeah, I want more than you do.

Yeah.

And then they fight until they get to the point where they feel so ridiculous because they can't even pronounce the end of the number anymore.

They're like, quintillion, I think, is where we are.

And then they finally pass it.

And then they just wait two weeks and start over.

Will that even be a milestone when we pass the

quintillion mark?

I don't know that anybody notices.

I don't think anybody cares anymore.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You've heard me talk to Mike Lindell and about Mike Lindell.

He is the inventor of My Pillow and how, you know, his pillow is giving me great night's sleep.

888727 Beck is our phone number.

I know this is a tough time for everybody.

We were just talking about how rough the economy is and

how difficult everybody,

you know, the difficult situation everybody's going through right now.

uh got a call from a friend of mine last night uh whose sister uh was riding an atv in may

had a really bad accident and

had a severe head to head injury um was

and you know justin he he used to work here it's his sister camera guy yeah a great dude great dude yeah um and he uh

they had to lift you know helicopter to the hospital uh they thought there was a good chance she wasn't going to make it.

Went into

ICU and went into a coma initially.

They thought it was going to be a five-day situation.

She came out in like two days.

They're saying her recovery has been miraculous so far, but there's like a super long way to go.

Other side of this, she has no insurance.

So they are talking about a helic,

you know, a helicopter flight, two weeks in ICU.

The rehab ahead of her, they're estimating six weeks of rehab at $147,000.

This is all

at this point seemingly out of pocket.

So if you want to help out, a family member of a really good guy, a guy who helped put this show and many shows here at the blaze on the air

before

he's moved on to bigger, better things.

But

they're in real need right now.

I'm going to post this on my Twitter account.

Maybe, Pat, we can do it on yours as well.

And And just get some attention to this.

If you have a few extra bucks

and you want to help someone out here that has helped put these shows together, but also is really struggling right now in a situation that is

impossible to face.

I mean, imagine in the middle of this whole thing where so many people are losing jobs and all of this.

It's an impossible time for this to happen.

There's never a good one.

But we wish the whole family well.

And

there's a GoFundMe.

You can search for it if you want, for Kima, K-I-M-A is her name,

for Kima.

And we will put the link up all over the place wherever we can to try to help them out.

Because, you know, look.

Yeah, that's hard.

Wow.

These situations are impossible to deal with in normal times.

To try to deal with one of these in the middle of this, I mean,

it's got to be impossible.

But anything you could do, this audience has provided miracles before to families.

So

if you have the means, if you have the chance, whatever you can do would be great.

And we'll post that up at Twitter at Stu DoesAmerica.

And I realize when you do something serious and then you have to say at Stu DoesAmerica at the end, it loses a little bit of its power.

But anything you could do would be fantastic.

Greatly appreciated.

Are you following the

SpaceX launch at all?

That was scrubbed the other day because of weather, but they're going to do it again tomorrow.

They're going to try again tomorrow

with Elon Musk going into space with a manned flight for the first time.

And the first time astronauts will blast off from U.S.

soil since Barack Obama ended essentially the space program in the United States, at least the space vehicle program.

So we've been space hitchhikers ever since.

So for the first time since 2011, we're actually going to get our own astronauts into space with our own vehicle.

Pretty exciting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I love that it's with the private sector.

I do too.

I love that part of it.

I do too.

So interesting kind of arrangement between NASA and SpaceX.

We'll see how it works out tomorrow.

This is the Glenn Best Program.

Featuring Pat and Stu for one more day today.

Glenn's back on Monday morning,

triple eight, 727, B-E-C-K.

You can hear my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every day, 7 to 9 Eastern on the Blaze Radio and TV.

And then listen to it on podcast if you don't get up there that early or

you don't have access to it that early or whatever the case may be you can listen to it anytime on podcast absolutely and to do the same for stew does america appreciate that i i feel like this story is deserving of both pat gray unleashed and stew does america and even this particular program one of the most listened to radio shows in america

because i think this might be the greatest COVID-19 story since the beginning of the pandemic.

Really?

Now, that's a big statement.

That is.

Because most of it's been really crappy, terrible news, but there have been some pretty bizarre stories that have happened throughout this crisis.

Yes.

This one, though, I don't know that there's an equal to it.

This is one I think we just read word for word.

A gang of monkeys

attacked a laboratory assistant

and escaped

with a batch of coronavirus test samples.

The bizarre incident saw the troop of primates launch their assault near Meerut Medical College in Delhi, India.

According to local media, the animals then snatched COVID-19 test samples from three patients and fled.

Wow.

Wow.

One of the monkeys was later spotted in a tree chewing one of the sample collection kits.

It is

the latest example.

Now, again, just think of that part of the sentence.

The latest example.

They're about to tell you that this is happening a lot.

It is the latest example of the highly intelligent red-faced monkeys taking advantage of India's nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus.

While they have proved an increasing problem in urban areas of the country in recent years, lockdown measures in the last two months have emboldened the monkeys.

Reports have shown them them congregating in parts of Delhi normally crowded with humans.

The animals have adapted to live in close contact with people, and it is believed some groups have struggled in the absence of food that they've come to rely on.

People had been advised not to feed the monkeys while the pandemic continues, with experts suggesting doing so could cause the virus to mutate and infect primates.

A senior biologist

from the forest department warned that if this did happen, the mutated virus virus could have a devastating impact on primate species and other wildlife.

And they actually have pictures of the monkeys who have all climbed on board a motorcycle.

I can't do not.

The monkeys are on a motorcycle.

Now, they don't show it driving, but I would not be surprised if that's the next story.

But the actual, I mean, we talk about the Wuhan

lab having issues.

I think those monkeys were at least dead, and bats were dead.

These monkeys are alive, taking the samples and eating them.

So, I mean, if you don't think there's another pandemic right around the corner, I can't help you.

I can't help you.

Seems like there's going to be some

sick monkeys sometime soon.

I guess so.

Right?

Unless they've already got the antibodies, and I don't know if they've been tested or not.

They could be immune.

They could be immune.

I guess it may be.

And you know, it talked about how intelligent these monkeys are.

How smart can they be?

They're eating the virus.

That seems stupid to me.

Okay.

Tell me, monkeys.

Morons?

Stupid morons.

Oh, my gosh.

What a freaking window.

What?

Weird story.

And there is this strange thing that's happening as part of

the shutdown where these areas that are normally highly, you know, filled with people are now not.

And animals are venturing out.

They're like, you know what?

We're going to take this land back.

We've been waiting for this opportunity a long time, stupid humans.

You're all inside.

You're all on your little Netflix and your Xboxes.

What are we doing?

Taking over the country.

There was another story this week, or maybe it was last week, about, I think it was dolphins that are finding stuff in the ocean and bringing it to the shore with their, you know, little mouths and dumping it there, hoping that it'll be a present for the humans that they miss coming to the...

to the area all the time.

I think they're,

I'm not sure where that is.

It's somewhere in the U.S., and I forget where it was, but dolphins are doing the same thing.

They're like missing human company.

And so they're trying to bribe humans to come back.

Look, here's a bottle that I found.

You can have it if you come back.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah.

I mean, it's weird because I'm not animal humans really at all.

No, I'm not either.

I am not either.

I haven't had that urge.

I have not brought any presents to humans to lure them back into my presence.

No.

I'd rather kind of just stay away.

It's fine.

You know, the roads have been, although they're starting to get crowded again.

Yes.

And the freeways of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Yeah, there's a certain brand of elitism that Pat and I belong to and have experienced over the past few months, which is as

essential workers,

we are able to travel to work every day.

And

that hasn't changed for us at all.

Like a lot of people, about 90% of the people that usually work here are not here.

But, you know, with us coming in, we're doing the every day.

And you, you start to get used to there's no traffic.

Right.

It doesn't matter when you come, or when you go home, because

light traffic.

The downside of this is worse than the upside for us, unfortunately.

Yes.

However, it is something that you do notice.

And you notice around here, too, like now that restaurants have opened.

And if you're, you know, we live in Texas, so it is difficult, I think, for us to relate to certain areas of the country.

With, you know, if you've got, you know, Whitmer as your governor, like it's hard for us in Texas to even relate to that world right now.

But, you know, restaurants are open, but you can get into any of them.

You know, there's, it's not hard to get to places, even though they're at 25% capacity.

You can get in.

Everything is easy here in this period.

There was a period where nothing was open, and that was obviously, you know, very challenging.

Now things are open and no one's going to them and still there's no one on the road.

Yeah.

It's a nice, this in-between area is

in one or two ways really nice.

Today in Texas, zoos are opening,

as are water parks.

Water parks, which really kind of blew me away.

Wow, water parks to 25% capacity, but still, that's a water park.

That's a big step.

One of the things that's interesting about this, all these 25% capacity things and rules that have come out is a lot of people, I think, look at, okay, they have these people sitting at these tables, and then they're going to have 25% of the tables.

But remember, it's the capacity of the restaurant.

So like a capacity of a restaurant might is hundreds of people usually.

The capacity of a water park?

I mean, how many people can you fit in a water park?

A lot of people.

A lot.

It's thousands, right?

Yeah.

But I actually think, you know, and I've made this decision, you know, sometimes we say things on the air, you want to make sure that we actually believe them.

I bought a season pass for the water park for my kids yesterday.

Wow.

Why?

Yeah.

Outdoors.

Yep.

Chlorinated water.

Okay, right.

Should kill stuff that's in it.

Very well ventilated.

Yeah.

I actually think the water park thing should be pretty safe.

Now, I'm not a doctor, and I might be killing my children.

I hope I'm not, but I bet there's a much better chance of them drowning on the water slide than there is for them actually getting COVID-19 in that environment.

It would be a very difficult thing to figure out a way to get COVID-19 in an outdoor water park.

Would you go this weekend?

We are talking about going tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I'll let you know.

I'll be interested to hear how.

I'm on vacation next week.

I guarantee we're going to get there next week.

Very cool.

This has been one of my geods for a while.

The geod against civil asset forfeiture in this country got another

case of it where a guy lost $138,000 to the authorities at Logan International Airport in Boston.

Now, he missed a flight and then rescheduled for the same day.

And then

he was going through security, and I guess he had a ton of money on him.

And they asked him how much he had.

And at first, he said $1,500.

And

that turned out not to be the case.

Then he said, okay, yeah, it's somewhere between $40,000 and $50,000 in cash I have on me.

And that turned out not to be the case.

And then he said, okay, I'm actually carrying between $80,000 and $85,000.

And that turned out not to be the case.

He actually had, they eventually learned he had $138,980 in cash.

Now, why did they ask him about this?

And why did they learn it?

These are really good questions.

He was going through security and apparently, for some reason, they had a police dog there, police dog named Duke, and Duke, quote, showed a strong alert to the man's belongings, unquote.

Now, the dog is trained to detect narcotics.

He didn't have any narcotics on him, but he hit on apparently the cache.

Maybe the cache was around narcotics?

I don't know.

But he was also, the other suspicious aspect of this

is that authorities have identified the place he was flying to as a source area for illegal narcotics.

Okay, so what?

Yeah, a source area for illegal narcotics.

What does that mean?

Does that mean he's flying to

Mexico or Colombia or something like that?

But like, I don't think just because you bring money to a country that drugs are a problem.

Doesn't necessarily mean you're going to buy drugs in that country.

Yeah, my understanding is you need to catch the person buying the drugs within your borders

for you to do something like this.

Right.

Would you say that that estimation is correct?

That's correct.

And I would say that what they did instead was a future crime situation where they took the guy's money and said, see ya.

They took, they confiscated $138,000.

Now, was it suspicious?

Because he lied about how much he had?

I guess.

And he was going to a source area for illegal drugs.

So what?

On all of those accounts?

Every area is a source area for illegal drugs.

Every area, unless it's Antarctica.

I don't know.

Like, if you're flying to Miami, does that count?

If you're going to Jeffy's house, that's definitely a source area for illegal drugs.

That's on our passports.

Should we arrest everybody going to Jeffy's house?

Well, yes, I do probably.

I do think that would make sense.

That would make a lot of sense.

Including Jeffy, by the way.

It is.

That's a really bad thing.

I'm so tired of this.

You can't do this in America.

No.

You can't do this.

You can't.

And why would you lie about how much money?

I don't know.

Maybe because you're afraid they're going to take it for no reason.

That's right.

Because they've been doing that for years now.

And ever since this civil asset forfeiture began, and police continue to say, well, yeah, it's a really valuable tool in the war on drugs.

I don't care.

Stop it.

This needs to stop.

It's completely unconstitutional.

And I don't know how this has not been challenged.

I think it's one of those things where we like the results of it in a lot of cases.

So we overlook the fact that it's a little bit unconstitutional.

And people, Tad, people look at a guy like this who says, well, he was obviously going to go do something illegal.

Right.

Well,

it might look like that.

You might have a suspicion.

That's not how we put people in jail, and that's not how we take their property.

You can't just say it looks like he might do something sometime.

You got to catch him doing something, yeah.

I mean, and this is the same argument you hear from people when they're like, Well, I don't care if they listen to my phone calls and they take all my medicine,

I'm not doing anything wrong.

That is not the point.

Yeah, you're not the one who decides whether or not what you're doing is wrong.

Like this guy, what is it?

Is it wrong to carry 130,000?

Is it illegal to carry $138,000 in cash with you?

No.

No, it is not.

It's your money.

If I have it, I could carry $50 million in cash with me, and you shouldn't be able to do anything about that.

But guess what would happen if you tried to bring $50 million to an airport?

It would get confiscated.

It would be confiscated.

Unless you were Jeffrey Epstein, and then they'd probably let you go.

But I mean, really, it's one of those things where...

We've had the same issue with withdrawals from bank accounts, where people will withdraw.

There was a story, again,

this one was a criminal, but he was withdrawing just under $10,000 every few weeks because the government said if you pull or withdraw over $10,000, they're going to report it to central authorities because they are worried about big withdrawals like that.

So he was pulling out $9,500 or whatever it was every two weeks.

Then they went and arrested him because they said, we see what you're doing.

You're pulling out less than the limit, but just a little bit less.

So therefore, we're going to report you for that too.

It's like, well, that's not even...

Again, like they do catch criminals all the time with this stuff.

However, that's not enough to justify it.

No, it is not.

And Americans are just rolling over and playing dead for it.

I don't understand it.

We should be standing up and saying this is unacceptable and it's got to stop.

Out here at the ranch, I've been cooking on my RekTech grill.

Yeah, just like the cowboys used to.

Except they used a fire that they had to chop wood for and then they cooked it on the back of a chuck wagon.

This is really good stuff.

RekTech's amazing smart technology, just like the cowboys had, gives you the perfect, most even-heating grilling experience you've ever had.

I could talk about how sturdy it is, it's made from solid steel.

I could tell you about how you know you can control the whole thing from an app anywhere in the world.

But what I'd rather tell you about is when I'm cooking on a Rectec grill this summer, I'll be cooking with my family.

It's about bad and stew for Glenn, who's on vacation this week.

Their new polling date out, still showing Biden in the lead.

Yeah.

Is this a Fox News poll?

Fox News poll finds a.

The president's not going to be happy about it.

No, he will not.

Joe Biden, 48, Donald Trump, 40.

The average of all polls right now, 48-41, which Biden is up.

So he's supposedly up by seven points.

Yep.

Despite the fact that he's clearly, there's something wrong with him.

Right.

uh and this is

because it's it's amazing to see when you ever you see him you're like how is this guy have one percent of the vote level like 48 right uh this they're they're going back and harry anton went through and compared this to 2016.

so in 2016 uh trump was uh was was down by 10 points at the end of the primary closed it to six at the first half of April.

In the second half of April, he closed it to four.

And then in May,

closed it to one.

He was down by.

Fox News had a similar poll, May 16th through May 23rd of 2016.

Clinton trailed Trump by three points, trailed Trump by three points in 2016.

Biden is up by eight in the same poll this year.

Now, I think there's a lot of factors playing into that.

And a lot of people will just dismiss all polling, which I don't think is the right thing to do.

A lot of people will also say, well, you know, general election polling doesn't count so early in the election.

And that I do agree with.

We're just getting to the point where it's not early in the election anymore.

We're getting to, I mean, it's June almost.

I mean, there's only a few more months here, guys, before this election actually occurs,

assuming we're allowed to go out of our houses here.

So these polls start to become interesting to look at.

Remember, the national poll average missed the popular vote in 2016 by less than, or just over two points.

I think it was 2.1%.

It's not a crazy miss.

They missed in certain states.

Obviously, Trump won.

Obviously, the experts believed Trump was going to lose, so they were wrong.

But the national polling average actually wasn't that bad in 2016.

That doesn't mean that Biden is actually up by eight or nine or seven.

My thought on that is people have just not started focusing on this yet.

It has not been part of the way they've internalized the news.

They're looking at coronavirus.

They're looking at all of these other separate issues.

And there has not been a focus of the people on the election.

And there hasn't been the focus of Trump on Biden.

Trump has certainly mentioned Biden here and there, but that has not been what he's been doing.

He's been trying to run the pandemic response and all of these other

economic issues.

So I don't think you can look at this and say, well,

Donald Trump doesn't have a chance or anything like that.

I mean, I think he could turn this around in a week.

A good week of news could turn these polls around.

But it is interesting to look at the strategy of the Democrats is to make you believe joe biden is not the candidate they want to hide him from you and from every other voter so that you don't consider the fact that the person that might be in the white house can barely get through a sentence that is the strategy of the democrats and as they get closer to picking a vp All of these things are going to be incredibly important.

And you will learn a lot about what they're thinking because if they pick Stacey Abrams, you know, they are thinking we need to move to the left.

And they're also, you might get the sense that Biden is thinking in his head, I'm going to be sticking around and making it through a couple terms, or at least one, because they're not going to just, no one, I don't think anybody thinks Stacey Abrams can step in on day one.

If you pick someone who has a little bit more experience, then you, or someone in the middle, you could see they might be targeting that part of the electorate and saying, man, maybe Biden's only in here for half a term.

I think that pick is going to be very revealing for the campaign.

For sure.

Yes.

And should be very revealing to the American people.

Very frightening, depending on who he picks.

I don't see a pick that's good.

No,

there aren't any good picks for him.

So, yeah.

Plus, the election might be done by mail-in.

And that adds another really fun element to it.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

There's much more after the break on the Glen Beck Program.

Glenn Beck Program, Loyd Patton Stuke today.

888727BECK is our phone number.

There's an interesting poll done where they asked Americans during the coronavirus outbreak, would you say prohibiting in-person religious services violates freedom of religion in the United States?

So to be in person, to go to church and just be together at church.

Yes, it does violate religious freedom.

Only 21% of Democrats said yes.

77% said no, it doesn't.

For Republicans, 49% said yes, it does violate

religious freedom.

51% said no.

So even a majority of Republicans said it does not violate freedom of religion.

For all adults, it was 66 to 34.

No, it does not over yes.

You talked to an expert about this, right?

This very thing.

Jeremy Dice from First Liberty,

he's been on my show and News and Why It Matter been on this show as well over the years uh really good guy and a guy who's been fighting for religious liberty in basically every circumstance this is what these guys do for a living um and he i brought him on to talk about this exact question because it was at the time where one of the pastors was i'm having service anyway and he got arrested and and and brought in or whatever they shut him down

and he i kind of thought his take would be look of course it violates religious liberty that's honestly what i thought he was going to say no matter the circumstance circumstance.

No matter the circumstance.

Yes.

Because my take on it was: look, it does violate religious liberty.

What you can do as the state and what you can do as a community is ask really nicely.

Yeah, recommend.

Recommend.

Say, please don't do it.

And you can give all the facts and give the best information.

Say people will die in your congregation if you do this.

Yes, that's what we believe.

And that's what the science tells us at this point.

And we're very scared for you and your community, but we can't stop you because we have the First Amendment.

Right.

Right.

And so, what's going to happen in that situation?

Probably 95% of the congregation is going to stay home and try to watch it online or do something else.

Right.

That's what has happened all across America, really.

There hasn't been a lot of these cases where churches have tried to do this.

Some have tried with, and there haven't been tons of cases even where governors have cracked down on it.

There's been a few, and they're important.

So,

his take basically was that over time, these things have been challenged over and over again.

And what they've shown is the government has a

limited

power to restrict citizens' movements in an emergency for a short period of time, including religious services.

Including religious services.

Okay.

But for a very limited amount of time.

And also, they have to

lean to

the side of being open.

So if they can figure out a way to allow a church to open,

the government has to side that way.

It's like that one congregation did where

they had the church service in their vehicles, right?

The drive-in church.

My mom's church was doing that, and they stayed open the entire time.

She's in Georgia, and they did have a drive-up service.

But was it Tennessee that cracked down on that?

I thought it was Kentucky.

I thought it might have been Kentucky.

Yeah, I thought it was Kentucky.

But it's happened in a few places, but the government doesn't have power to crack down.

It's very much a very limited, temporary,

exactly, very limited.

How long a time is okay?

Yeah, I mean, that's the problem, right?

There's not a, it's not

a two months, right?

Two months?

A year?

What does that mean?

It's not defined.

It should be.

From what I understand, in the way, and maybe, you know, you're going to have, you're in here this week, next week with Glenn.

I'm on vacation next week.

Maybe it'd be worth having Jeremy in

to talk this out because he has a, you know, he's much smarter than I am on this stuff.

But his point was basically that

as soon as there's an argument that it makes sense, they have to side with that argument.

So as soon as, like, okay, if you're saying that we've gone, we've flattened the curve, right?

Yeah.

They can no longer do it.

If you were to say you could do it in cars or you can do it,

you know, we're spread out in a field where you're just not near each other, all of the sort of options, you have to side with the religious freedom, though there is a quarantine sort of power built into the government for a limited uh period wow which which is interesting yeah it's interesting because i wouldn't think there is right and what if there because i said i said what i said to him was like i it if you were to say to me can the government come in and take my guns during quarantine

or during hurricane katrina yeah i would say absolutely not you know right can they but they did it but they did it can the government come in and tell me i can't go to church my take on that would be absolutely not but they did they can They can recommend it.

They can say, seriously, guys, be cool.

Please don't go.

And most people are going to listen if it's for a rational period of time because they don't want to get sick and they want this to go away.

But can you force them?

My take on that would be no.

Mine too.

The legal system's take on that is apparently yes, but in a very limited fashion, which probably has already expired.

But again, the thing is, you go back to the governor of New Jersey and the question that was asked of him

by Tucker Carlson.

By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights?

I called up Cardinal Tobin.

Cardinal Joe Tobin and so if you've called up Cardinal Joe Tobin and you asked him

and he said, no, it doesn't violate the First Amendment, then you're okay.

Right.

You're okay.

I think that's the final deciding.

I'm glad because I actually have a t-shirt that says that on there.

Okay.

This is interesting.

I just found it online.

Yeah, I didn't know what it meant, but I just figured, like, yeah, this guy must know what's going on.

This Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark.

He does.

He knows exactly what's going on, and he can let you know whether or not it's constitutional, and if you can violate the Bill of Rights.

Right.

So

it's an interesting line.

I guess you can.

If Joe.

If Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark says it.

Now, there's a Cardinal Joe Tobin in Des Moines.

He's not, he has no constitutional power.

No, he has no constitutional power whatsoever.

Yeah, that's true.

I'm glad we now know that.

By the way, Pat, we should point out

that we we have decided today

to do something incredibly risky.

You, I just said, I mean, flippantly, that you were going to be in with Glenn next week.

There's no guarantee of that, frankly.

Very true, based on what we've decided to try.

Yeah.

I mean, because, you know, our shows are on YouTube.

And we've been trying to understand YouTube a little bit.

And what we've seen is that people like, you know, sort of death-defying stunts, you know, people risking their lives, taking their lives into their own hands.

Some people have actually been killed while doing those death-defying stunts.

Right.

And we can't rule that out for us today.

Immediately following this show,

we are going to risk our lives.

And we can't tell you all the details about it because if we do, the police will go there, they'll shut it down.

We can't do that.

It has to be under the

under the radar here.

Yeah, lawyers would get involved.

It would just, it would be ugly.

Yeah.

You know, because the insurance wouldn't cover it, certainly.

Yes, no, there's no chance.

It's kind of risky action we're taking today.

So I'm sure they'd stop us.

Yeah, they probably would.

And we can't risk that because

we want to do it.

We're committed to it now.

I've built up all the mental energy to actually do this.

So if you go to YouTube, just search for Stu.

You'll get my channel.

And as soon as we get to commercials here, we're going to launch

a live video.

And we're going to walk you through this entire thing.

You'll see a little bit of the back and forth here on the radio show first.

And as soon as the show ends, we're going to go do this thing.

We can't disclose all of it.

I just will tell you that

it is something that is very risky and something that basically nobody in America is doing.

Nobody else is doing this.

And for the most part, nobody can do this.

We have certain privileges that we can't exactly disclose

that allows Pat and I to be able to do this particular activity.

I just

do worry that it will get shut down anyway because once you get on the live feed, people are going to be able to see what roads you're going down.

Maybe they'll get there to stop it.

But we're just going to take that on as it comes.

So go to YouTube and search for Stu.

Check out Stu Does America channel.

That's where we have a live feed there where Stu does certain death with Pat.

Death is definitely possible on this one, Pat.

I'm very nervous about it.

Go check it out.

It's going to start the feed here in just a second.

888-727-BEC is the phone number.

Patent Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888 727B ECK.

Here's another

fascinating story about a huge amount of money that was this in this particular case, it was not confiscated by police,

but it was found in the middle of the road.

A million dollars in cash, just found in the middle of the road by a family.

A million dollars.

One million dollars in cash in a bunch of bags, like mail bags, I guess.

And they were just going to take it home and throw it away.

What?

Yeah, they just thought it was junk that fell off of somebody's truck or whatever.

I was going to say they saw the million dollars, but they didn't see the million dollars yet.

So on the way out to the garbage can, he thought,

just check and see what's in here.

Because I was going to say, if you're just going to throw away a million dollars, I know inflation's bad.

I didn't know it was that bad.

Right.

All right.

But no, $1 million in cash

was contained in these bags.

There were several of them.

And they turned it into the police.

You have to ask yourself, would I turn it into the police if I found a million dollars in cash?

It would be tempting.

It would be tempting.

It would be really tempting to keep it, wouldn't it?

Because how is that going to be traced back to you?

They found it in some ditch on the road.

Some of it was in the middle of the road, and then there was another bag in the ditch.

And it didn't have anybody's name on it.

It wasn't obviously belonging to anyone.

Right.

I would be, look,

as a person of character, I would be there to turn in the $300,000 I found.

I think that's the right thing to do.

I would, yeah, definitely the $10,000 cash that you found.

Look it, I found this $10,000.

It was just laying on the road.

I feel like you could say, you could legitimately say, like, yeah, I found $950,000.

When someone comes to the gaming, they're like, hey, we dropped a a million dollars.

Well, someone did just turn in 10,000.

I feel like it might be a little bit obvious what you're doing.

Or you don't turn in a single penny and you just keep it.

And then they never know.

And then they never know, right?

It would be hard, wouldn't it?

I mean, that's life-changing money, right?

I think that is life-changing.

That's life-changing, maybe generational-changing money.

Yes.

Not in 2020, but like, you know, 19, way back in like 2019.

It probably would be life-changing money.

Yeah, there was.

There was a time when a million dollars

was a lot of money.

I spent a million dollars at Subway yesterday, so now it's not like that.

Yeah, it's not a big deal.

It is, it would be very tempting.

I think very.

I think you'd

turn it in.

It might take a little bit.

I think I would turn it in, but I would definitely have some

reservations about turning it in.

It might take me a little bit of time to figure out how to get to the police station.

Right.

You know.

But when you think about it, I mean, doesn't that solve a million dollars?

Solves pretty much every problem.

Every financial problem you have, right?

Yeah.

You're not in debt anymore.

You can do pretty much what you want.

There was actually a famous philosopher who said, Mo money, mo problems.

And I don't know if that's true.

You know, because I think, and I think mo was short for more.

Oh.

So more money and more problems.

Didn't mean some guy named Mo would have a lot of problems.

No, it does not.

That's my understanding of it.

I'm not a philosopher.

Okay.

But there was the guy, you know, we talked about him, I think, randomly earlier this week, the guy who was on Press Your Luck and figured out the board and won like $160,000.

And there's all sorts of stories about how he was just like, you know, he lost a bunch of it.

He lost a bunch of it in investments.

He lost a bunch of it in other

bizarre scams where he tried to turn, I think he was the guy who tried to turn in like $10,000 to the bank to get $1 bills so he could win a radio contest with a serial number.

You know those contests that used to run all the time?

They'd be like, if you have the serial number on your dollar bill, we'll give you $1,000 or $1 million or whatever.

And he found one of those contests that he thought would pay off.

So he got 10,000 singles and went through all of them.

Did not win, unfortunately.

Wow.

And I think someone stole a bunch of money out of his car because he didn't have it in the bank.

Like it was a lot of times the million-dollar thing doesn't solve all your problems, but it should solve a lot of the financial ones.

Yes, it should.

And I think it would.

So that's, I mean, very tempting.

Very tempting, but good for this family because

they did the right thing and they turned it into the sheriff's department.

And I will say there's an extra layer on this for you and I because we could be leaving our families in who knows what kind of situation right after today.

Right now, we're on YouTube Live.

If you go to YouTube, search for Stu, it'll be the first show there.

You'll see Stu Does America, the page.

If you go there, we've got a live video going right now.

We're doing a behind the scenes of radio, and we're about to leave and walk out for a death-defying, I don't know, I mean, stunt, I I don't know is the right term because stunt makes it seems like it's a controlled environment.

This is not.

This is not a controlled environment.

It's something that is legitimately risky, but I know

that's the culture we have now.

You have to push the envelope all the time if you want people to pay attention to what you're doing.

If you want people to subscribe to your YouTube channel, that's what you have to do.

Yeah.

That's our understanding, anyway.

Yeah,

I wouldn't say we're good at this, but I think this, we have come, every once in a while, you come across a really good idea.

And I think the drama here is going to be pretty significant.

You know, obviously, I hope we make it.

I've talked to my wife about it.

You know, we've had discussions with our families.

You know, I'm not being flippant about doing this thing, which, again, we can't tell you the details of because,

you know,

they would stop it.

But

I think we're going to be okay.

And I think you'll be back on next week with Glenn when he returns from his vacation on Monday.

I think.

Hopefully.

I hope.

Yeah.

I cannot guarantee it at this time.
