Speaker 2 That's It's Patton Stewart for Glenn today. I want to tell you about Built Bars.
And I've been being told about Built Bars for a very, very long, long time.

Speaker 2 My wife came to me a while ago and was like, Built bars, Built Bars, Built Bars. And she started buying them, and she's telling everybody about them constantly.

Speaker 2 And to the fact that at one point, she just sent me in with a box to give to Glenn to give to Tanya so that she could try them.

Speaker 2 And then apparently she did, liked him, had been ordering them for a long time. And then one day, you know, a good year or so later, Glenn comes in and goes, have you ever heard of Built Bars?

Speaker 2 Which is typical, Glenn. Like he had no remembrance that it came from my wife, Lisa, who's been, who now my entire bottom shelf of my fridge is lined with Built Bars.

Speaker 2 They're amazing. If you love these things, they're healthy.
They're delicious. They taste like candy bars.
My wife's two favorites, coconut almond and cherry chocolate.

Speaker 2 But, you know, you get what you want to get. Go to builtbar.com, use the promo code Beck.
You'll get 10 bucks off your first order. Use promo code Beck for 10 bucks off at builtbar.com.

Speaker 2 This comes with the full backing of my wife. So you know it's good.
Builtbar.com, the code is back. Back in a second.

Speaker 3 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Back Program.

Speaker 2 Great to have you with us. Patents too for Glenn this week.
Triple E, 727.

Speaker 2 BECK. Just all kinds of stuff to get to

Speaker 2 today.

Speaker 2 There are some angry people in this world. I'm not sure if you've noticed that.
No. No.
No, what? Yeah, a great many things.

Speaker 2 Among them, mask wearing, because of course,

Speaker 2 if you're not wearing a mask, you are deliberately trying to commit genocide.

Speaker 2 And that can't be tolerated. No.

Speaker 2 So we have to banish, at least banish everybody who won't wear a mask when they go outside. Or for that matter, even if you're inside.

Speaker 2 If you stay in your house all day, you should probably, you should be wearing a mask.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that was seemingly what

Speaker 2 Donald Trump was saying yesterday when he was talking about Biden. Yeah.
Because Biden was wearing a mask outside in front of the cameras. And then

Speaker 2 afterward,

Speaker 2 Trump was saying that, like, well, he's not wearing it inside with his wife, which again, I don't think we're supposed to wear it. I mean, I'm not wearing him inside with my wife either.

Speaker 2 I got to be honest about it. If we're supposed to be doing that, I'm not doing it.
I know. Wow.
Well, I am trying to commit genocide. Why do you hate him? My family.
That's something else. Bizarre.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's just, it's crazy. It's hard to keep keep track of what you're supposed to do.
I had Shelly Luther on last night. She's the

Speaker 2 salon owner here in Dallas, who was the big story where she said, you know what?

Speaker 2 I'm going to open my shop, you know, damn the consequences.

Speaker 2 They put her in jail. Greg Abbott kind of came out to her defense and several other Republican officials.

Speaker 2 Got reversed, and she spent, I think, one, I think she spent one day in jail, was supposed to spend seven.

Speaker 2 And I was talking to her about her situation, and she's doing, her business is obviously doing well. She's been in the spotlight.
I think she's done a really good job handling this.

Speaker 2 It's tough to get thrown into one of these situations.

Speaker 2 And I think she's been a really good spokesperson for the idea of, look, this is my business. I got to be able to open it.

Speaker 2 We're doing our best to keep it. She's trying to put food on the table for my family.
Exactly. And you need people who are not crazy saying that, right? Like, you need people who are.

Speaker 2 And she does seem really normal. Yeah, very, she's good.
She's good on television.

Speaker 2 She's pretty.

Speaker 2 It's just a good, like a good spokesperson.

Speaker 2 And I felt bad for her, though, in a way, because as I was talking to her, I was realizing that it was only two or three weeks ago that she, it feels like at least only two or three weeks ago that she was out doing this and she was reopening her shop.

Speaker 2 And she was making a very public showing of how she was wearing a mask when she was doing this and how she was

Speaker 2 sanitizing everything over and over again. And they were doing social distancing.
She was doing every step perfectly.

Speaker 2 And it seems like in the last few weeks, the mode of the country has changed to almost be critical of that behavior as if it's a show of weakness, right?

Speaker 2 Like, there's no reason you can't do these things and be safe at the same time. The mask thing is questionable.
Like, you know, obviously the CDC has gone back and forth on it.

Speaker 2 But, you know, things like trying to stay apart, sanitizing as much as you can, you know, not shaking hands, not doing the Pat Gray makeout with Stranger Thing.

Speaker 2 If you could stay away from some of those things, that's not a bad thing. We shouldn't criticize businesses for doing that.
You know, that's a good thing.

Speaker 2 And she's still doing it and has had no issues. There's been some cases in other salons where maybe some of that stuff isn't going on and they have had issues.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 like this is not a, I don't think we should be critical of people who are saying, you know what, here's what we think is the best practices.

Speaker 2 And we're trying to do those things in a safe and responsible way. I think that's a good thing.
And I think it's a good thing for our side to show that we're not trying to be reckless.

Speaker 2 And, you know, put everybody at risk. I don't want to be necessarily the people that they showed in the pool and

Speaker 2 the Ozarks or whatever, the Lake of the Ozarks the other day, where it's like 9,000 people for a million reasons. Like, I just, I can't even imagine how much.

Speaker 2 I don't want to be a part of that scene when there is no virus.

Speaker 2 I wouldn't go into that pool if it cured the virus.

Speaker 2 I don't know. Because who knows how many other diseases you'd get.
Exactly. Too many people, Pat.
Too many drinks, long day. They're not getting out to the bathroom for every one of those stops.

Speaker 2 No, it's just not happening. So I want to avoid it for that reason,

Speaker 2 mainly. But yeah,

Speaker 2 the other side of it is

Speaker 2 probably worse in that you saw the woman in the grocery store just get berated for not having a mask on.

Speaker 2 And, you know, it's funny when you look at the, you know, well, you want to take the science and be responsible, right?

Speaker 2 The masks, I think, you know, the science shows that there's some improvement. It's not, it's not an it's the mask isn't going to save you in every situation, but there's an improvement.

Speaker 2 On the other side of that, one thing that is definitely shown is loud talking can create thousands of droplets that can carry the virus.

Speaker 2 So when you're screaming at someone for not wearing a mask, you are definitely doing something more dangerous than not wearing a mask. Like the guy in the grocery store.

Speaker 2 Yeah, all the people around him. And the woman wasn't wearing the mask and the guy is standing six feet from her, but then he pulls down his mask and is yelling at the top of his lungs at her.

Speaker 2 Much worse. Spewing stuff all over them.
Much worse.

Speaker 2 Really bad. You know, but it doesn't matter.
I mean, like, again,

Speaker 2 it's not about the virus or the science or anything. It's turning into this weird tribal thing where

Speaker 2 if you see someone with a mask, it's okay to be a jerk to them because if they don't have a mask on, then they're just awful. They're trying to kill everybody.

Speaker 2 So we might as well berate them because it shows our moral superiority over them.

Speaker 2 That is not how you're supposed to look at this.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 it seems irresistible for the American people at this point.

Speaker 2 We'll have to play MSNBC in Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 Did you see the report?

Speaker 2 Oh, I love this. From MSNBC.
This is amazing. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
We'll get to that coming up in about one minute.

Speaker 3 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 5 You know, the last few months have really reminded us what's important in life. It's also helped us understand what we can eliminate or change.
It's the same for business.

Speaker 2 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program this week.

Speaker 2 You know, the mask wearing thing has become a virtue signal.

Speaker 2 If you wear a mask, you're a wonderful human being who cares about humanity and

Speaker 2 you just deserve all good things in life. If you're not, you're akin to Adolf Hitler.

Speaker 2 And so.

Speaker 2 Times 10. Yes.
Yes, you're worse than he. Adolf Hitler times Edi Amin

Speaker 2 plus Pol Pot

Speaker 2 times Enver Hocha.

Speaker 2 Excuse me. Times Enver Hocha.
Enver Hocha. Yeah, what was he? He was, God, Romania? No.
Oh, God, now I'm killing myself with it. I just did this.
We just did the thing.

Speaker 2 I did a spot with a guy last night that wrote a book called,

Speaker 2 oh, gosh, it's something like

Speaker 2 Dinner with Dictators.

Speaker 2 I can't remember the name of it, but he tracked down the personal chefs of five murderous dictators and interviewed them all: Saddam Hussein's personal chef, Edien, and Verjo Johnson.

Speaker 2 They're all still alive, apparently. Yeah, they're all still alive.
Somehow, they made it through that experience.

Speaker 2 And so, talking about them from behind the scenes, amazing, amazing people. And from my understanding, they're basically their worst thing they ever did was not wear a mask.

Speaker 2 In every case,

Speaker 2 all five of them

Speaker 2 wear masks. Yeah.
Oh, wow. And that's why they were so evil.
What

Speaker 2 bad people. Yeah.
Well, MSNBC did a report on how bad these people are.

Speaker 2 And particularly, I guess, in Wisconsin,

Speaker 2 they're so evil in Wisconsin that many people walk around out in the open air without masks. And here's the report.
You'll be shocked.

Speaker 6 So are the people there just not worried about it, Cal? Are they not worried about their own personal safety?

Speaker 7 I haven't met anybody who is. I met some folks actually from Lake Geneva who lived in the area.
They were staying a few miles outside of town where I were. And they said they're worried about it.

Speaker 7 They're worried about that second spike, they're worried about folks coming in from Chicago. But they'll quickly add at the same time, this is a place that relies on that business.

Speaker 7 I think people here want a little bit more funding when it comes to these programs so that they could stay closed.

Speaker 7 But again, I think people felt like the Supreme Court made the decision here in Wisconsin that it was time to open up. And you can see, here, you can see

Speaker 2 nobody's wearing them. Look at that.

Speaker 7 There you go, including the cameraman.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Pause it right there.

Speaker 2 So they pan around to

Speaker 2 some passerby who's filming them because he notices that, oh, by the way, your own crew

Speaker 2 isn't doing what you're accusing all of us of doing. So

Speaker 2 I love that because amazing.

Speaker 2 Watching this video, if you're not watching on Blazetv.com slash Glenn, if you're watching, you see this guy pass by and turn around and it looks like a shark circling his prey because you know what's coming.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And he kind of just walks around back there and he wait and then he turns back the other way and it's like, he's right behind you.

Speaker 2 You know, like, I want to scream out to the reporter, look out, he's coming. Because this guy just absolutely destroys him.
His own cameraman isn't wearing a mask.

Speaker 2 So these people just aren't wearing masks, including your own cameraman. And the reporter,

Speaker 2 including my own cameraman. That was my point.
That was what I was saying.

Speaker 2 Even our cameraman's not doing it. Yeah.
Thank you for pointing that out. I was going to get to that in a second.
The hypocritical crew from NSNBC is caught red-handed. Let's see the rest of this.

Speaker 2 It's amazing.

Speaker 2 He's so pissed off.

Speaker 2 Taking images.

Speaker 6 Cal Perry, Cal, thank you very much. And Cat Perry.

Speaker 2 Okay, so then

Speaker 2 there's a little bit more

Speaker 2 where he walks around and you see him walking around showing the not just the cameraman who has no mask on, but okay, here it is.

Speaker 2 And they said they're worried about it. Oh, this is his video now.
Yeah. So this is from from the guy showing the cameraman with no mask

Speaker 2 and the MSNBC tripod operator has no mask.

Speaker 2 But again, I think people felt like

Speaker 2 amazing. Oh, wow.
I have not seen this view yet.

Speaker 2 You can see.

Speaker 2 Including the cameraman. There you go.
There you go. There you go.

Speaker 2 Exactly. That guy's got a bad one.
Half the crew's not wearing it.

Speaker 2 But half the crew is not.

Speaker 2 I love that. That's incredible.
I just, I absolutely love that. The same thing happened with a CNN reporter who did a shot on the beach, live shot on the beach, wearing the mask.

Speaker 2 And then people took pictures of him walking back to his car with the mask in his hand. And look, that is the correct approach.

Speaker 2 There is no reason to believe wearing a mask outside in the sun is beneficial in really any way. You want to be a little extra careful and

Speaker 2 be, you know, take an extra step. All right, whatever.
But there's no reason to shame anybody in that situation. Right.
It's completely ridiculous. It's just virtue signaling.
That's it.

Speaker 2 And they've been doing this on television over and over and over again. When you are outside by yourself, there is no reason to be wearing a mask on television.
It's absolutely ridiculous. There's no,

Speaker 2 you know, they did a study. We talked about this last night as well.
There's a study of 318 outbreaks in China.

Speaker 2 One of them started outside. One.
One of them. And the quote-unquote outbreak was two people.

Speaker 2 It's just not one of these situations where it's easily spread. Now, it's not impossible.
It doesn't mean

Speaker 2 you should never take a precaution. But like, this is the type of activity the government should be encouraging during this time.

Speaker 2 Hey, you can't all jam into a tiny bar inside and listen to cover bands. You know, it would be great, though.
Go to a beach. You know, be out.

Speaker 2 You could be outside, give a little room between you to be extra safe, but most likely you're going to be okay there. That's the type of thing they should be encouraging.

Speaker 2 Instead, it's become, as you pointed out, Pat,

Speaker 2 this little way of

Speaker 2 preaching your virtue to everyone else by showing your mask on television. And it doesn't help anybody.
It's just them trying to show that they're on that team. That's it.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I love the fact that their hypocrisy is just laid bare for everybody to see because they always come into these situations with an agenda. But do they really believe in what they're saying?

Speaker 2 Clearly, no. No.
No. They don't.
And I wouldn't be surprised if that reporter only wore the mask for the report and took it off immediately after that. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 2 He might not have because at this particular point, because he'd been exposed. And so then he probably left it on.
But I'll bet the rest of the time he was in Wisconsin, he's not wearing a mask.

Speaker 2 Now, any

Speaker 2 news director worth his salt today is going to his crew and saying, you guys have that mask on the entire time. It does not come off for any reason because they're going to catch you.

Speaker 2 You know, it's like, it's like, hey, we're Planned Parenthood. We're auctioning off baby parts.
Hey, guys, if someone comes in and they look like James O'Keefe, don't sell them anything.

Speaker 2 Like there has to be a point where you get caught. You need to be able to say, hey, guys.

Speaker 2 Take extra steps to defend against this. You have to imagine these people have gone through this conversation now.
This has happened how many times, Pat?

Speaker 2 We've played multiple videos just like like this where the guys

Speaker 2 do the hits with their masks on and take them off. It's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing. 888-727-BECK.
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 5 So, what's the number one sign of a bad home security system? A home security system that is so complicated that you never use it?

Speaker 2 Pat and Stu in for Glenn this week. He's on vacation.
By the way, he's driving me crazy. Enverhocha, Albania.
He was Albania. He's an Albanian dictator.

Speaker 2 But the best part about this guy, Pat, was he became convinced he was going to get Albania was going to get invaded

Speaker 2 by opposed, you know, outside forces and to try to take over his country.

Speaker 2 So before there was any war or anything, he decided to build bunkers everywhere so that the people could hide in them and fight back if they needed to.

Speaker 2 So he built 173,000 bunkers all across the country. And they all look the same.
There's like these little, they look like little like gray pimples on the landscape all over the country.

Speaker 2 And now after he died and he was out of power, they're all in disrepair. Some of them have been repurposed to stores and like, you know, places where people live.

Speaker 2 Some of them have been repurposed, but the vast majority of them are just in disrepair. But they're all over the place with the idea of like, hey, we got to be ready.

Speaker 2 And then they never had the war that they were thinking they were going to have and never utilized them. 173,000 of these things.
Wow. So, anyway, that's a that's that's part of his story.
Nice.

Speaker 2 Uh, did he wear a mask, though? Did he wear a mask? Of course not. He was a dictator.
Oh, wow. That's what they do.
Wow.

Speaker 2 These people will, because they want, they, you know, they have to scream their really loud speeches and pound their fist on the table. It's hard to do with a mask.
That's very true.

Speaker 2 And it's reminiscent of Ralph Northam, who mandated that people, when they go outside in his state, wear masks. And then he is walking around taking selfies with people not wearing a mask.

Speaker 2 The hypocrisy is amazing. Incredible.
But then we find out from Geraldo Rivera why wearing a mask is so very important. Here's Geraldo's thoughts on mask wearing.

Speaker 8 Maybe this is the secret to get people to wear masks. Just get one that

Speaker 8 you know has special resonance in your personality. Be whoever you want to be.

Speaker 8 Be gang teeth, be buck teeth, be you know, beautiful teeth, the gangbanger teeth, whatever it takes to get you to wear the mask.

Speaker 2 Just do it.

Speaker 8 I was thinking about President Trump not wearing a mask.

Speaker 8 As a practical matter in the bubble in which he lives with everyone around him being tested and vetted and keeping their social distance and so forth, there's very little likelihood at this point the president will contract the virus.

Speaker 8 So wearing a mask isn't a practical matter, but it's symbolic. The president refusing refusing to wear

Speaker 8 a mask makes us feel foolish for wearing a mask.

Speaker 2 So I think he should lead by example. I don't think that that is

Speaker 4 perverse.

Speaker 2 I guess I think

Speaker 2 the fact of the matter is wearing a mask is helpful.

Speaker 8 It is also a fact of the matter that pro-Trump areas in the country have fewer infections, a lower infection rate, than anti-Trump areas of the country.

Speaker 4 It's a definite fact.

Speaker 8 There is a political component to the push to reopen America, and it's understandable that it falls on ideological lines. You know, it's just one of those things.
Red America, not so infected.

Speaker 8 Blue America, much more infected.

Speaker 2 Why is

Speaker 2 it not as infected? Well, we're not wearing masks. It's because red states are run better and they're doing some of the right things, whereas in the blue states, not so much.

Speaker 2 You got people like Cuomo,

Speaker 2 who is sending coronavirus victims to nursing homes to kill the people in nursing homes, which happened by the thousands. By the thousands.
And, you know,

Speaker 2 look,

Speaker 2 this has been a major story about nursing homes, right? I mean, about half the deaths at this point are nursing homes around the country. So it's been really, really bad.

Speaker 2 Cuomo, a few other states, I think Pennsylvania did this. I think New Jersey did it as well.
Same type of

Speaker 2 guaranteed import of positive patients into the nursing homes policy, which is a huge disaster. I mean, it's going to be probably the worst single decision of the entire pandemic, I think.

Speaker 2 Because without that,

Speaker 2 if we had tests at the beginning of this and we were just cordoning off nursing homes basically completely, this is a totally different picture. There's not 38 million people unemployed.

Speaker 2 There's not 100,000 people dead. Right.
You know, neither one of those things are true if just a couple of steps are taken that are a little smarter than things like Andrew Cuomo did.

Speaker 2 And even though Cuomo is trying to blame Trump for that decision, unbelievable, we actually have the evidence of his health order that mandates that they start sending these victims to the nursing homes.

Speaker 2 It's amazing. All right, patents due for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 Your daily antidote to the socialism virus.

Speaker 4 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Join the conversation, 888-727-BEC.

Speaker 2 It is Patton Stew. And for Glenn, who's on vacation this week, a fascinating graphic released by Pew Research, Pat, looking at the COVID deaths in red and blue districts.

Speaker 2 So for some reason, this is a thing we're doing now where we're just breaking this along political lines to try to prove points, I guess, on politics.

Speaker 2 I don't even understand what the point of something like this would be. But I guess the idea from their perspective is,

Speaker 2 look, let's illustrate the fact that there's been a big decrease in Democratic districts and there hasn't been a big decrease in Republican districts. That's the attempt here.

Speaker 2 It says since mid-April, COVID-19 deaths have declined in Democratic districts, but have been relatively stable in Republican districts. And they have a helpful graph to illustrate what has happened.

Speaker 2 Now, anyone who would think about this for a moment would say, well, the worst stuff happened in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Speaker 2 And yes, they've had a big decrease, but from a terrible peak, right? So you would say, okay, a lot of Democratic districts there, it would make sense they were decreasing.

Speaker 2 Where in a state like Texas that never had a huge flare-up,

Speaker 2 it wouldn't make sense for them to decrease, decrease from what, right? Like they have

Speaker 2 already low. That's that would be you're just right off the top of your head impression of someone who said that, right? Yes.
Well, shockingly enough, that is exactly what the graph shows.

Speaker 2 And the graph actually illustrates that the Republican peak in deaths was two

Speaker 2 per

Speaker 2 I believe it's, let's see, yeah, average two per hundred thousand? Yeah, I was trying to think if it's, I think it's, is it 2 per million or 2 per 100,000? 2 per 100,000? I don't know.

Speaker 2 The graph is not labeled exactly correctly. But point being,

Speaker 2 whatever ratio they're using here, 2 for the Republicans was the peak. And it has decreased slightly to 1.7.

Speaker 2 On the Democratic side, it peaked at 7.4.

Speaker 2 So that is almost four times as many as it ever was in a Republican district. And it has decreased, largely because of that northeast area, area, down to 4.1,

Speaker 2 but still

Speaker 2 as the peak, more than twice as high as the peak. Which situation would you rather have? Would you rather have the Republican situation where you peak at 2 and fall to 1.7?

Speaker 2 Or would you rather have the Democratic situation where you peak at 7.4 and decrease to 4.1? Now, that is obviously, it's obvious when you look at the graph.

Speaker 2 You'd much rather have the Republican situation, and the deaths have been much, much lower. How do you title that graph?

Speaker 2 The summary being that there's been a decrease in Democratic districts, but stable in Republican? Because the impression you're trying to send. That's amazing.
What are you trying to send there?

Speaker 2 What's the impression? Republican governors have opened up the states and they're paying the price. Right.
Which is obviously not the story of that graph.

Speaker 2 The story of that graph is: Democrats handled this poorly at the beginning, waited too long. We had people like Andrew Cuomo, who, I mean, who I hate to criticize

Speaker 2 Andrew Cuomo by saying Bill de Blasio was right on something, but Cuomo was out there lighting Bill de Blasio up, saying we are never going to close New York, and then four days later closes New York.

Speaker 2 Right? Right.

Speaker 2 They blew this from the beginning in the worst possible way. We talked about the nursing home policy.
We talked about, it wasn't until mid-May where they were saying, you know what?

Speaker 2 Big new policy announcement. We're going to clean the subway cars.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 What a brilliant idea there, Andy. That's a, wow.

Speaker 2 You're right on the cutting edge of fighting this virus. After you already have tens of thousands dead, you think you might clean a subway car.
What a good idea. That's a good idea, Andrew.

Speaker 2 Oh, he is the worst.

Speaker 2 I'm doing more on the Andrew Cuomo timeline on Stu Does America tonight.

Speaker 2 Because last time I did it, I think we talked about this on Friday. I started in March.
I was going to do the entire timeline of all of his mistakes.

Speaker 2 And I could only get through the first two weeks of of March. So now I need to do the second two weeks of March and we'll go from there.
This series could end like

Speaker 2 after the election, I think. This could take 18 months.
It could. This is what it could.
It could. Listen to this, though.
You know, very rarely do we hear

Speaker 2 a news network come out and make one of these accusations like they made against Georgia and Texas and Florida. And when it doesn't go their way, and their way is a bunch of people dying.

Speaker 2 So think about what their way is for a second. But when it doesn't go their way, they never revisit it, right? They just move on.

Speaker 2 Like they hit Georgia, they said there's going to be a huge outbreak, didn't happen. Then they said, okay, well, what about Texas? That didn't happen.
What about Florida? That hasn't happened.

Speaker 2 All these things have gone on over and over again because they find the red state governors.

Speaker 2 Now, Colorado has a Democratic governor who opened the state right around the times of these other states and has had no criticism whatsoever.

Speaker 2 Minnesota is having a much worse time right now with COVID-19 than any of these southern states. And they don't get any criticism either because that's just the way this works.

Speaker 2 I will give a little bit of credit to NBC News, who actually revisited their Georgia predictions the other night. Did they?

Speaker 2 Yeah, and their tone was they actually said there was no major spike in cases, which is good. And the fact that they did that is

Speaker 2 something.

Speaker 2 We have very low expectations of the media at this point. And the fact that they would even acknowledge that they said these things in retrospect is impressive.

Speaker 2 However, one of the things, if you remember,

Speaker 2 when Georgia started opening up salons and such, they said a lot of people were critical. If you remember, famously, the Atlantic ran a headline that said, Georgia's experiment in human sacrifice.

Speaker 2 That was their headline.

Speaker 2 And that was the tone of the coverage all over the left, including on MSNBC, part of NBC News, who spent day after day after day after day lighting this up. Really heavy criticism.

Speaker 2 And they do acknowledge the criticism.

Speaker 2 Listen to the end to hear which criticism they highlight.

Speaker 9 Last month, Georgia was one of the first states to reopen and with the most aggressive approach, allowing barbershops, restaurants, tattoo parlors, and more to welcome customers.

Speaker 2 The criticism came in droves.

Speaker 10 I told the governor very simply that I disagree with his decision, but he has to do what he thinks is right.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 the one piece of criticism they could find of Georgia was President Trump. Yeah.
Right? Because he's been this guy who's been all over

Speaker 2 anti-opening the economy up. They couldn't find anything from Rachel Maddow on their own network.
They couldn't find anything from Chris Hayes on their own network.

Speaker 2 They couldn't find anything from NBC News. They couldn't find anything.
They couldn't find that Atlantic headline.

Speaker 2 They couldn't find the dozens and dozens of headlines saying everyone was going to die in Georgia.

Speaker 2 The only thing they could muster up for criticism was the one time President Trump said, I think you're opening up tattoo parlors and massage parlors a little early.

Speaker 2 That's the only thing that when it came to that, was the the the the the the the thrust of all the criticism, if you remember, Pat. And I'm glad they brought that back up.
Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 It really is pathetic. Just admit it.
Like you should, shouldn't we all be thrilled you were wrong on that?

Speaker 2 You know, and it's not to say that they will not have a flare-up at some point. They may.
But clearly, your impression of what reality was was incorrect here.

Speaker 2 If you had looked at the mobility data, you would realize that almost every state in the Union is coming out of lockdown at the same pace, whether the governor says so or not.

Speaker 2 And that has to do with people realizing, you know what, we can't sit in here forever. We need to go do these things.
Let's just be careful. And that's happening all over the country.

Speaker 2 And so it wouldn't be surprising to you if you understood the data that

Speaker 2 It's not one of these things where the governor says, okay, the state's open and everyone rushes to the doors. That's not what happens.
People aren't doing that.

Speaker 2 The same thing was true when we went into lockdown. People went into lockdown before the governors said they had to go into lockdown because they were trying to be careful with their own lives.

Speaker 2 Same thing here. They're trying to get be careful with their own economy.
They're trying to get out there and be careful and go back to work.

Speaker 2 And none of this should be surprising to you if you followed the story at any level of depth.

Speaker 2 You know, if you're just sitting here in this normal back and forth cable news box thing where two boxes are on one side, I think we should open it up. I think we should close it down.

Speaker 2 If that's your life, well, then you're not going to understand the story at all.

Speaker 2 When you look at the data, there's no difference between, you know, a state like Georgia, as far as coming out and being more mobile and visiting retail stores and all these other things, and tons of other states.

Speaker 2 There's not really a difference. There are certain areas they've opened up that are different than other states.

Speaker 2 But generally speaking, there'd be no reason to believe Georgia would have a big outbreak anyway, as opposed to another state. But they don't care about that.
That's not their goal.

Speaker 2 Their goal is to try to trash the president, trash Republicans, teams, teams, teams, teams, teams. It's just unending.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And usually they don't even,

Speaker 2 once they've made their prediction that all hell's going to break loose in Georgia because they're opening up way too soon.

Speaker 2 And then when that doesn't happen, when all hell doesn't break loose, they usually don't even go back and report on that. So they don't say anything about it.

Speaker 2 It's kind of amazing that anything was said by the media, even though.

Speaker 2 you know, they they use Trump as their as their proof about people attacking them.

Speaker 2 I'm beating that report up or that part of it, but I do actually legitimately appreciate when they do that. And it does add to their credibility.
Yes. You know, it really does.

Speaker 2 You at least will listen to them. If more of these news networks said, you know what, gosh, we really thought this was going to happen and we were totally wrong on it.
I'm not sure why.

Speaker 2 We're going to try to figure it out and get it right next time. That goes a long way with people.
I think people are fine with that approach. I think so.
You know, I mean, that's what we try to do.

Speaker 2 There's been plenty of times that we've blown stuff and you just go on and you say, look, look, this is why I thought it. You heard my rationale.
Right.

Speaker 2 And, you know, this is what I'll try to do next time to get it to get better. That's all you can do.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because when it doesn't fit the agenda,

Speaker 2 they are so good at just not reporting it, pretending it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 For instance, what YouTube is doing with hydroxychloroquine,

Speaker 2 where they just censored the video where medical doctors, these are doctors,

Speaker 2 saying hydroxychloroquine might help treat COVID-19. So

Speaker 2 they remove that part of the video from the YouTube videos.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 wait. Well, it definitely might.
We're in the middle of,

Speaker 2 you know, scientists that are in the middle of dozens of studies on hydroxychloroquine right now, including a statewide study in South Dakota. But I mean, it's not just a statewide study here.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's all over the world. They've been studying this.
So this was a Cheryl Atkins at Full Measure News report.

Speaker 2 And she was examining the possible possible benefits of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment and the possible financial interest some parties have in downplaying the drug and promoting a separate treatment, the remdesivir.

Speaker 2 And you notice they're not bashing that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's a weird one, too, because that was, remdesivir was mentioned by Trump in the same press conference as hydroxychloroquine.

Speaker 2 I mean, you know, this idea that Trump is out there promoting hydroxychloroquine because he's trying to be right and show that he, you know, he also called the remdesivir thing, and remdesivir has shown a clinical study that has improved outcomes.

Speaker 2 Now, there's been some studies of hydroxychloroquine that have showed mixed results, some really good, some not so great. Right.
But, like, I,

Speaker 2 like, Trump, Trump's quote-unquote false hope from that press conference was not false.

Speaker 2 I mean, Fauci came out and said the exact same thing. It had helped some people.
It had helped some people. We know there was an ABC News executive

Speaker 2 who claims it cured him.

Speaker 2 There's a study in France of a very well-respected doctor who's a little bit of a renegade.

Speaker 2 So there's questions about whether he's right or wrong on this, but he had a study that showed incredible improvement by hydroxychloroquine.

Speaker 2 And remdesivir, but like Trump - like they were trying to say this thing where Trump gets blamed for hydroxychloroquine if it doesn't work out, but gets no credit for remdesivir, which he also mentioned in the same press conference, if it does work out, which both Fauci and Burks have talked about the benefits of remdesivir already.

Speaker 2 And by the way, there are some drawbacks to remdesivir as well. And they're not talking about those, but anything about hydroxychloroquine that they can say, like, people die from it.

Speaker 2 Well, yeah, if you don't know how to administer it or you administer it wrong and not in conjunction with the right combination of drugs, then yeah, bad things can happen.

Speaker 2 It's certainly generally safe to take. Yes.
You know, I mean, it's been taking. People have been taking it for 70 years.
People with lupus take it every day.

Speaker 2 People with certain types of all sorts of ailments

Speaker 2 take it.

Speaker 2 Malaria is obviously the one it was initially designed for, but it's not just used for that.

Speaker 2 Look, why wouldn't we try these things? You go back to what Trump has said many, many times, which is,

Speaker 2 let's look into this stuff. I don't know.
I mean, doctors don't know. Let's test it.
And so they are testing it.

Speaker 2 And we may find out that it doesn't help anybody, or maybe it only helps a very small subset of people. Whatever it does, let's find out.
We're in the middle of a crisis here. Let's find out.

Speaker 2 Why would we dismiss it? It's another one of these dumb things

Speaker 2 that they've just made like the democrat team doesn't like hydroxychloroquine for some reason why who cares what because trump mentioned it because trump mentioned it that's it bizarre that's it

Speaker 3 you're listening to glenn beck

Speaker 2 888727 Beck is the phone number. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn Beck today.
Coming up, we're going to, I want to get into a little bit of the Jimmy Fallon conversation because I'm fascinated by this.

Speaker 2 How many celebrity blackface tapes are there? Can we

Speaker 2 have a lot?

Speaker 2 I just don't understand why there are so many.

Speaker 2 Because they did blackface a lot. I guess back in Austin.
Yeah. Yeah, all the time.
It was perfectly acceptable back,

Speaker 2 I guess.

Speaker 2 Although,

Speaker 2 when was the whoopee goldberg and uh i remember that

Speaker 2 ted dance incident in the 90s had to be in the 90s yes i think it was uh and people were a little upset about that but nobody it seems i don't remember any outrage over fallon's appearance on saturday night live in 2000 when he dresses up in blackface not only did he dress up in blackface but then he imitates a black man, Chris Rock.

Speaker 2 And he does a relatively good job at it, actually. He does a very good job at it.

Speaker 2 But then, in addition to that, the joke is about how you can't invite people on who wants to be a millionaire that are black because you'd have to ask them questions like, How much crack did Rick James do?

Speaker 2 Holy crap. Wait, what? Whoa.

Speaker 2 Really? Those are the questions you would ask? Like, is that okay? That's all right. I just want to make sure I understand that.
Does not feel all right to me.

Speaker 2 But that is, you know, again, do I think Jimmy Fallon is a racist? No. But I mean, the difference here in the way this is treated is fascinating.
We should get into that a little bit today.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's because it is amazing. I mean, we've talked about the double standard a billion times,

Speaker 2 but it's really amazing how often the double standard is put into practice. Triple 8-727-BECK.
More Patent Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Peck program coming up.

Speaker 2 With Patent Stew this week, 888-727-BECK,

Speaker 2 a video that's not new, but it's about 20 years old from Saturday Night Live where Jimmy Fallon dresses up in blackface for a bit has resurfaced for some reason.

Speaker 2 It's kind of interesting that it would come up right now. But

Speaker 2 here's an instant where NBC apparently didn't feel the same way in 2000 as they felt in 2018

Speaker 2 about Blackface.

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 Jimmy Fallon still has a job,

Speaker 2 whereas you look at somebody like Megan Kelly, whose crime was so egregious, she actually talked about blackface. She asked a question about being in blackface.

Speaker 2 And the question was: if someone were to dress up a kid, I think they were talking about kids, weren't they, at the time?

Speaker 2 It was Halloween. And they were saying, if someone were to dress up to essentially honor someone who they appreciated from a family.
Diana Ross, for example. Diana Ross.

Speaker 2 If you were to dress up as Diana Ross and you use Blackface, would that be the same?

Speaker 2 That was basically her question, right? Yes.

Speaker 2 And that question

Speaker 2 was so horrible. It was akin to murder.
Right. They had to go after it.
It really was. And

Speaker 2 get rid of her, which is amazing. Now, we, of course, have covered how many other times this has popped up, where whether you are head of the state of Georgia or Virginia or the country of Canada

Speaker 2 or whether you are Jimmy Kimmel with Carl Malone. Oh, yeah.
Which that was totally fine. Oh man.
Totally fine.

Speaker 2 And again, there was no, there wasn't even, it had nothing to do with Megan Kelly's question. Megan Kelly's question was about something much less

Speaker 2 controversial, right? Like let's say a kid who's dressing up and maybe he doesn't even understand the

Speaker 2 lines there and dresses up as someone they appreciate or even an adult doing that, but in a complimentary way. These were always critical or mocking the person who they were impersonating.

Speaker 2 Carl Malone was just being shown basically as dumb. The whole joke was like he can't talk.
Right. Right.
That was the whole joke about Carl Malone.

Speaker 2 Jimmy Kimmel in Blackface saying Carl Malone can't talk.

Speaker 2 There was nothing more to it. It wasn't, there was no larger point.
There was no, I mean, like Sarah Silverman, who is a comedian as well and super left as well,

Speaker 2 apparently lost a job because she dressed up in Blackface as well.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you're recognizing a pattern here on the people who are are using uh the blackface uh situation but i mean you know silverman i think has a real argument to say it's ridiculous she was doing a bit essentially mocking racists right like you are yes she's utilizing blackface she's using it in a way to mock people who are who are racist that is a uh should be A if you're going to use blackface, that would be the one time you'd think you'd be able to do it.

Speaker 2 Now, I don't know why you'd want to do it. Not something that I've ever entertained.
But apparently everybody everybody in Hollywood's like, I can't wait. We're not going to find a reason to use this.

Speaker 2 It's going to be wonderful. But Sarah Silverman is making a point against racism, and she's still losing jobs because of it.
Jimmy Fallon is now,

Speaker 2 his tape has come out. He has famously done a Chris Rock impression before on Saturday Night Live.
This time he did it in a very interesting way visually. Here it is.

Speaker 11 Rock, now we're talking. Where is he? Man, oh man, read this book.

Speaker 11 I've seen seen who wants to be a millionaire, and guess what? Not a lot of black folks on the show.

Speaker 11 Not a lot of black folks on the show. You know why? Because black folks don't like to answer questions.
Or they want to be millionaires, but you got to ask that kind of question.

Speaker 11 Like, in 1981, how many girls of crack did Rick Chase smoke when he recorded Super Freak?

Speaker 2 I mean, that's a good question.

Speaker 11 You think the only way to get a brother on the show is to name it Who Wants $50 Cash in a Pair of Pumpers?

Speaker 2 I mean, that's just, those are just jokes.

Speaker 2 Again, that's just racially oriented, stereotypical jokes. Like, black people know a lot about crack is the joke.
Yeah. That's that's what the joke is there.

Speaker 2 The black people know a lot about crack, and black people

Speaker 2 like sneakers.

Speaker 2 Again, like, do I think that Jimmy Fallon is a racist? No. Would Chris Rock actually make some of those jokes? Maybe.
I mean, Chris Rock does a lot of that type of humor.

Speaker 2 He's doing an impression of Chris Rock. But the double standard is impossible to ignore here.
Impossible. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know, Jimmy Fallon, there's no reason to believe he's some big racist that's doing these sorts of things.

Speaker 2 But it is a situation where

Speaker 2 Megan Kelly for asking a question on the same network gets fired. And

Speaker 2 this is something they were actually airing not that long ago. This is not 1975, we're going back to.
It's in the century. Yeah.
You know, 20 years ago.

Speaker 2 It's an amazing development, yet again. It is.
And he's apologized for it. He has.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But so did Megan Kelly, and that didn't do her any good. No.
But I'm sure all is forgiven already, which would be falling. It's perfectly fine.
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 You know, if you play by their standards, he should be fired, right?

Speaker 2 If... You're going to apply the same standard to everybody else as you applied to Megan Kelly,

Speaker 2 then he he has to go too. And look, their standards suck, and I don't want to embrace them.
Right. I don't either.
They suck. I don't either.

Speaker 2 And I think, you know, with Megan Kelly, they utilized that moment because they didn't like her reporting that was critical of NBC for sexual harassment and other things.

Speaker 2 I think they utilized that as a way to get rid of her to target her.

Speaker 2 So there are other things at play here. But you're right, Pat.
I mean,

Speaker 2 the hypocrisy is immeasurable. And they have no, they don't care about it.
They don't care that they're being hypocritical. Right.
Well, they don't, because nobody's going to hold them accountable.

Speaker 2 So triple A, 727B ECK.

Speaker 3 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 5 As we become more unstable, gold will continue to go up. It's at the highest it's been in I don't know how long.
Now, I don't buy it as a lottery ticket. I buy it as a hedge against insanity.

Speaker 5 And when the world stops moving towards insanity, I'll stop buying gold. And I buy my gold from Goldline.
They've been in business for like 55, 60 years now. And they're the best in the business.

Speaker 5 It's goldline.com. Call them and ask them about their 1880 five and a half dollar liberties.
They're extremely popular right now for diversification and as a protection tool. I have them.

Speaker 5 They're absolutely great. They're in really good condition for being, you know, 100 and what, 40-year-old coins.

Speaker 5 But call the account executive right now at at goldline, goldline.com or call them at 866-goldline. They're waiting for your call.
Don't wait another day as things become more and more unstable.

Speaker 5 866-GoldLine, 1-866-GoldLine or Goldline.com.

Speaker 2 888-727 Beck is the phone number. Yeah, Pat is asking an interesting question.
Why isn't everyone in prison? Especially

Speaker 2 listen to this. Listen to what she said, because it's been, what, two years now, and maybe you've forgotten, but here's how incendiary it was.
Megan Kelly, please don't think this is coming from me.

Speaker 2 I'm quoting Megan Kelly right now. You can't wear anything Mexican-based.
You cannot dress as a Native American. That's apparently been some rule for a long time.
You can't dress as a nun.

Speaker 2 I mean, isn't the purpose of Halloween to dress up and pretend you're something other than yourself? To which the studio audience applauded. But what is racist? She asked.

Speaker 2 Because truly, you do get in trouble if you're a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween.

Speaker 2 Like, back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character.

Speaker 2 So, again,

Speaker 2 why isn't this person in prison right now?

Speaker 2 Why isn't she in the middle of some chain gang? Yeah. Breaking rocks.
The only thing you can think of to do in this situation.

Speaker 2 I just can't. It's hard to get over.
It's like, I don't understand why

Speaker 2 there are so many examples of this. It just seems like it's constant.

Speaker 2 To me, though, one of the things that always gets lost in these moments is what is the actual intent? What is the motivation behind what the person is trying to do? They'll be like, oh, you know what?

Speaker 2 That context doesn't matter. It always matters.
It always matters. You know, it matters in completely, like, if you catch someone saying the N-word really, really bad, right?

Speaker 2 Well, if they're quoting someone else, is it as bad? Probably not, right? Like if you're quoting a court trial,

Speaker 2 you know, it's probably not as bad.

Speaker 2 The context does matter. What is the intent of the person? The intent of Megan Kelly is to ask an honest question as to why we draw these lines.
This is why she mentions, right,

Speaker 2 black people dressing up in whiteface. Not very common, and apparently not at all offensive considering the movie White Chicks came out and was total,

Speaker 2 was totally accepted, at least at that time. I don't know that you could do that again.
Maybe you could

Speaker 2 coming the other way. I don't know.
But her intent clearly there is just to, let's investigate our own moral lines to see if they make sense, right? That's all she's doing there. Yeah.
With

Speaker 2 Jimmy Fallon, is his intent to go out there and just say, you know what, black people are bad? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 That would not be consistent with anything I know about the guy.

Speaker 2 It seems to be that he's trying to imitate the style of comedy and the voice of Chris Rock, who would do material like that, and it would be fine because it would be acceptable for him to do that type of material, right?

Speaker 2 That is important.

Speaker 2 But you go to Ralph Northam.

Speaker 2 What's his intent? What's the intent of What's His Face, Trudeau, in Canada? You know, I mean,

Speaker 2 these are a little bit different, I think, when it comes to those stories. And what was the intent, like you mentioned, with

Speaker 2 Jimmy Kimmel? Yeah. That one was just to call a black person dumb over and over again.
Carl Malone.

Speaker 2 He was literally calling him

Speaker 2 illiterate. Yeah.
At least. Illiterate.
You know, we were making fun of Joe Biden because he's had, I don't know if you've noticed this, a few issues in this racial area. Really?

Speaker 2 Because apparently you're not black if you consider voting for someone else, which is an

Speaker 2 amazing thing to discover, I think, for many African Americans around the country. Wow, I didn't realize I was not black.
And I didn't realize it was

Speaker 2 he who decides. Yes.
I didn't know Joe Biden decided that kind of thing. I didn't know that either.

Speaker 2 But you go back to his commentary on Barack Obama when he said, look, this is the first

Speaker 2 clean, articulate black man. It's a storybook.

Speaker 2 Well, you know, articulate is

Speaker 2 a word that, God forbid, a Republican ever utilized it.

Speaker 2 And it's you know, speak coherently is the definition of it. To speak coherently.

Speaker 2 Well, this is exactly what Jimmy Kimmel was doing in his frequent appearances on his shows as Carl Malone, where he would talk about how the guy couldn't speak. He couldn't say anything.

Speaker 2 He's referring to himself in third person all the time. I mean, one of the best basketball players of all time, Hall of Famer, very underrated,

Speaker 2 top 15 player, maybe a top 10 player.

Speaker 2 Great all-time player, and seemingly, by all reports, a really good guy. No reason, there wasn't like he was involved in a massive scandal scandal that he was going after him.

Speaker 2 He just went after him because he thought he talked funny as a black person. Which is completely unacceptable.
Completely unacceptable. Unless you're Jimmy Kimmel, who's, you know what? He really

Speaker 2 liked Obamacare, so it's okay. Yeah.
You know, he really doesn't like the Republicans. He's mean to them all the time.
So that's fine.

Speaker 2 But you think Jimmy Kimmel gives a break to some Republican who's dressing up as a black person to make fun of the way he talks? I mean, do I even have to say the words? It's so blatantly obvious.

Speaker 2 He would not treat that as an okay thing to do. But apparently, we're all just supposed to ignore it.

Speaker 2 That's our role here: just to sit back and just say, oh, we shouldn't point that out.

Speaker 2 You'd get some more credibility if you actually admitted these things and said, hey, this is where our double standard lies. Yeah.
And

Speaker 2 yes, we're being unfair here.

Speaker 2 But we don't care. But we just don't care.

Speaker 2 Welcome back. 888727 Back is the phone number.
We're talking about this story in Central Park where a woman is walking her dog without a leash in an area where birding is going on, Pat. Birding?

Speaker 2 Birding. Are you a birder yourself? Not that I know of.
No?

Speaker 2 You eat a lot of birds. Yes.

Speaker 2 You know that I'm mostly vegetarian like you. Yeah.
But yeah, a few birds. Like chicken.
Yep. Just chickens.
Chickens.

Speaker 2 Pheasant. I've had some pheasant.
You know, I'll eat a little fish. Sure.
That's not a bird, though. No, but that's not a bird.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I'm just, you know, That's one of your rules that you occasionally will break as a vegetable. Yes, yes.
As well as, you know, some pig pork product. Right.

Speaker 2 Ham, bacon, sausage kind of things.

Speaker 2 Often on the same sandwich. Yes.

Speaker 2 Then, of course, beef, you know, burgers. Sure.
Steaks. Roast.
But you've never eaten

Speaker 2 a duck-billed platypus. Not once.
I've never eaten a polar bear or any manner of bear. A pangolin from Wuhan? No.
Never. Even though you have a condo in Wuhan.
You're right.

Speaker 2 you've never stopped by the wet market to have a pangolin for dinner. I have not.
And people find that hard to believe, but it's true. But it's because you're vegetarian leanings.
That's why. Yes.

Speaker 2 That's the only reason. That's right.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 this guy is in the, and he's looking, you know, it's like bird watching, right? This is what they're doing in this bow area. And this area is designated so people can look at birds.

Speaker 2 So you can't let your dog walk through without a leash because they'll eat the birds. They'll chase him down and eat the birds.

Speaker 2 And so he seems to be encouraging this woman by filming her with his phone to put her dog on a a leash. She's pissed off by this, doesn't want to be filmed.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And basically says, I'm going to call the police on you and tell them an African-American is threatening me and my dog. And then she does it.

Speaker 2 She actually calls the police and says, an African-American is threatening me, my dog. And what's interesting about this is, you know, she's now had massive repercussions.

Speaker 2 She's lost her job, which you said had $170,000 a year. Yeah.
A big gig at a financial firm.

Speaker 2 That's one. She has had to give her dog back to the the Humane Society because,

Speaker 2 you know, she was kind of holding the dog. She obviously wasn't not focused on the dog, but she's holding the dog back with the leash and sort of looking like she was strangling the dog.

Speaker 2 That was not a comfortable position for this dog to be in. And people were pointing at it, it looked borderline abusive.

Speaker 2 You know, and so now we're at the point where her life has been completely ruined over this experience. She did not seem like she was in the right in it.

Speaker 2 It's a scary thing that she feels that it's okay

Speaker 2 effective to essentially threaten the police to come.

Speaker 2 She's almost pointing it out in a way of like, if I tell them an African-American is harassing me, they're going to believe me because you're black, which is not a good look and hopefully is not true by most police officers.

Speaker 2 And certainly none that I've ever talked to, but there are examples of this as we will talk about this hour. So this goes through this whole situation.

Speaker 2 Her life has now been, you know, destroyed over this interaction that I think pretty obviously was on her

Speaker 2 now we've actually escalated to this point where the guy who

Speaker 2 was filming her initially is like okay this is enough like she's had enough here guys

Speaker 2 i'm the guy who's credit that's really cool of him really cool really cool to say that uh but here's the incident that happened here's here's what happened in central park

Speaker 2 Will you please stop? Sir, I'm asking you to stop. Please don't come close to me.
Sir, I'm asking asking you to stop recording me. Please don't come close to me.
Please take your phone off.

Speaker 2 Please don't come close to me. I'm taking pictures calling the cops.
Please, please call the cops.

Speaker 10 Please call the cops.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna tell them there's an African-American man threatening my life.

Speaker 4 Please tell them whatever you like.

Speaker 2 And there she is, kind of strangling the dog, it looks like. And she's just not focusing on it, I mean, which is obviously not right, but

Speaker 2 the dog is really struggling here, and she's just holding it in the air by its neck. I'm sorry, I'm in a ramble, and there is a man,

Speaker 2 How did he threaten her? Of course, he did.

Speaker 2 At least we haven't

Speaker 2 been recording me and threatening myself and my dog.

Speaker 2 And my dog.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry, I can't hear you yet. I'm being threatened by a man into the ramble.
Please send the cops immediately.

Speaker 2 I'm in such a part of a ramble. I don't know.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 2 And he says thank you when she finally gets the leash on the dog. He thanks her for that.

Speaker 2 Which is nice.

Speaker 2 It was a nice polite moment in the middle of that. What's really fascinating about this is

Speaker 2 she

Speaker 2 knows she's being recorded. There's nothing happening to her.
She's acting as if she's terrified by this guy and literally is watching him film her. What did she think was going to happen?

Speaker 2 She's the one coming close to him, coming at him, not the other way around. yes so she's at no point in any danger and uh

Speaker 2 so it's really

Speaker 2 bad should she have some some level of repercussion from that probably

Speaker 2 should she should her life be destroyed no i i don't think so i always come back to this too and i maybe this is just the conservative in me uh talking but it's like This happened with the

Speaker 2 Charlottesville marchers when they were watching around. Jews will not replace us with their little tiki torches.
Remember that whole situation?

Speaker 2 Well, the left went to work and they found every face in that crowd and tried to identify who they were and where they were from and where they worked and all those things.

Speaker 2 And they found this one guy who was at the rally. Obviously, he was racist, had posted racist things online, and he worked at a hot dog stand in California, I think it was.

Speaker 2 And so they got him fired from the hot dog stand. Now, I guess I don't, if I had a choice, would I want a racist serving me hot dog? I'd probably not want that to happen.

Speaker 2 It wouldn't be my first choice. However, the racial preference of a hot dog, a person serving me a hot dog, is not all that important to my daily life.

Speaker 2 And at the end of the day, they got him fired. And where does that leave us?

Speaker 2 All of us are now paying for programs so that this racist can sit at home online posting on message boards probably and planning his next rally instead of being at work being a productive part of society, at least in some way.

Speaker 2 Is this a win for us? Is it a win that now this woman who you might think she's terribly racist, you got her fired.

Speaker 2 Well, now you're paying for her because of these left-wing programs congratulations never excites me

Speaker 2 this is the glenn beck program

So please subscribe and check it out. We always appreciate that.
Glenn is out this week.

Speaker 2 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn. We've been talking a little bit about some of the

Speaker 2 racial issues, I would say, that are going on. Everything from Jimmy Fallon to

Speaker 2 an interaction in Central Park

Speaker 2 to now

Speaker 2 Minneapolis. Which was so disturbing and horrific.

Speaker 2 A man, police were responding to a man who was sitting on top of somebody's car, I guess. And I think he was inside the car by the time the cops got there.

Speaker 2 And now the police say that he resisted arrest. And I've heard that when they pulled him out of the car, he was resisting somewhat.

Speaker 2 But later on, after they got him in the cuffs, he's walking with the cop down the sidewalk, not resisting at all. Then he sort of leans back and sits down against a wall on the sidewalk.

Speaker 2 The cop tells him to get up and he gets up, complies. They walk back around the police vehicle.

Speaker 2 Still not resisting. He's not doing anything.
Then he's down on the ground and the cop puts his knee in his neck and throat area.

Speaker 2 He's face down on the ground with his hands behind his back, handcuffed. And the cop has his knee on his neck for a full seven minutes.

Speaker 2 And the guy pleads with him multiple times. Please, I can't breathe.
Please, I can't breathe. I hurt.
My stomach hurts. I hurt everywhere.
And I can't breathe. And he tells him this over and over.

Speaker 2 And so do the people surrounding. Yeah, and the bystanders who are recording it on their phones are telling him, look, you're killing this guy.
Get off of him.

Speaker 2 And he doesn't. And he doesn't listen to anybody.

Speaker 2 In fact, it looks like he kind of drives his knee deeper into the back of his neck. And then puts his hand in his pocket.
Yeah. As he's sitting there doing it.

Speaker 2 None of the police officers that are with him, the other three, they've all been fired by now,

Speaker 2 which

Speaker 2 is not sufficient. They need to be charged with a crime here, murder or negligent homicide.
I don't know what the exact charge is, but they killed the guy.

Speaker 2 The officer killed the man.

Speaker 2 It was really a horrific scene. It's incomprehensible to watch

Speaker 2 how just, look, I am.

Speaker 2 Big supporters of the police. Big supporter.
And

Speaker 2 in these borderline situations, a lot of times I side with the police, honestly, because

Speaker 2 they are in a situation where they should rationally fear for their lives in these moments. Often, they have families to get home to, too.

Speaker 2 It's just not the situation, and seemingly. There's no reason for what this guy did.
I can't, I know, I can't comprehend of one.

Speaker 2 Honestly, like, I try, you know, you try to figure out what's their argument here. Their argument seems to be, well, they had the power, they could do whatever they wanted.
That seems to be

Speaker 2 the defense here, which is not a good defense. Look, there's no reason.
Like, there's not a moment, and the video is when he's on the ground, you get all of it, I think.

Speaker 2 There's not a moment where they just say to the guy, look, I understand you're uncomfortable. I am going to let some of this pressure off.
If you move a muscle, I'm doing it again.

Speaker 2 Never an opportunity for him to just lay there and play dead, right?

Speaker 2 They never gave him an opportunity to lay there completely and say, look, here is a, if you itch yourself, I'm going to do something. I'm going to put my knee back here.

Speaker 2 They never gave him even that chance. No, there's not one moment where they have any empathy or sympathy or a moment of humanity for this man.

Speaker 2 When he's begging and pleading that I can't breathe, you would think,

Speaker 2 even if it's just because they're being recorded by other people, self-preservation. Yeah.
Just get off him so that doesn't look like you're killing the guy.

Speaker 2 Like, there's not a moment where the I can't breathe thing reminds you of Eric Garner, which was a big story. Come on.
You have to be reminded of that.

Speaker 2 And just say, like, look, you're not one of these other officers that goes up to him and says, dude, like, I don't want to be in this next freaking Aaron Garner story. Let's just...
Get off his neck.

Speaker 2 Just get off his neck.

Speaker 2 He's not doing anything. If he moves, then do it again.
And you'd have an argument there, right? Like, there would be a lot of people. But let's get him up and put him in the back of the cruiser.

Speaker 2 Exactly. Get up, get in there.
If you do anything else, you're in major trouble. Put the freaking stun, you know, the

Speaker 2 taser on him. And, you know, without pressing the electrification button, for lack of a better word,

Speaker 2 as you know, not an officer. But, you know, you put him and say, if you do anything,

Speaker 2 I'm going to jam this button down and it's going to suck for you. So don't do it.

Speaker 2 At least give him a chance to comply. Nothing like that.
Nothing like that. And that is really disturbing.
You know, sometimes there may be part of this that we haven't seen that would explain

Speaker 2 why they handled it in a much more aggressive way than you would expect. Right.
Like sometimes there is an interaction where they have done something.

Speaker 2 Maybe he did fight back in a way that we didn't see. But none of that would, like, we have soldiers who go to war and capture al-Qaeda members and ISIS members and treat them better.

Speaker 2 And do things like this to them. Yeah.
Right? Like, it doesn't matter what they've done.

Speaker 2 Once they get to a place where they are not fighting back and they are, they are, they have no ability to do anything.

Speaker 2 You know, we celebrate here in this country the fact that we send our fighters to foreign wars where they have killed thousands of our own people and we still don't do this to them.

Speaker 2 We have massive debates of whether we're allowed to pour water on Khalid Sheikh Muhammad or not.

Speaker 2 We don't, you can't do this.

Speaker 2 And the fact that you would do it in a situation where you know you're on camera and you know the history, you know the context of the situation, you know how this is going to be viewed, you know people are going to see it happen.

Speaker 2 And you know the risks.

Speaker 2 And you disregard all of it because why?

Speaker 2 Right. Why? Again, we'll have a trial.
We don't just, we don't, you know, we're not going to assassinate this guy in the street because he did something. He should go.
There should be due process.

Speaker 2 He should be due process. But he should definitely be charged, I think, with something.
With something. And I don't know exactly what it would be.

Speaker 2 I think negligent homicide or some sort of high-level manslaughter sounds right to me. It may be be fall into the category where it's possible to charge them for murder.

Speaker 2 And that might be appropriate here. I mean, it looks that bad, certainly.
It does. You always hold back to try to understand whatever context you're missing.
But in reality,

Speaker 2 unless there's something...

Speaker 2 I can't even think of what the thing would be that would justify this behavior. On the ground, face down, with his hands handcuffed behind his back.

Speaker 2 What's he going to do? There's nothing he could do. And it's so disturbing because of how many fantastic officers that we have and how great they usually are.
Yes. You can't.

Speaker 2 And this plays right into the whole hysteria about the cops are just killing black people left and right, which is not the case. Yep.
And, you know, we always say this about other groups, right?

Speaker 2 We say this about, we were talking about ISIS moments ago. You know, when there's a terrorist attack, it is, it's, yes, of course we can all say how bad it is.

Speaker 2 The most important people to say how bad this is are other Muslims if there's a Muslim terrorist attack, if ISIS is responsible.

Speaker 2 This is why people like Zudi Jasser are so important to come out and say, yes, that behavior is completely wrong. Those people are doing the wrong things.

Speaker 2 But there's also a good section of our community as well, and they're great people.

Speaker 2 Police officers need to have credibility to do that. Now, look.

Speaker 2 We have to also take a step back when you're talking about what's going on and what seems to be coming as far as protests and all of this.

Speaker 2 We have a decent amount of murders in this country more than any of us would like. They go on often.
When they happen,

Speaker 2 when a black person kills a white person, it is not appropriate to say all black people are responsible for that. The person, the individual who commits the crime is the one responsible for it.

Speaker 2 The same way.

Speaker 2 And everybody needs to remember this today. The same way that when one police officer, let's say he's guilty completely of murder, which again, it looks like it to me.
You know, I'm no legal expert.

Speaker 2 But if he is,

Speaker 2 we should not hold other cops responsible for that behavior, number one.

Speaker 2 And number two, we have to recognize that these things are terrible and they happen, and we have a system to deal with them the best way that we can. If that system reacts the way it's supposed to,

Speaker 2 We can all be really pissed off, but that does not mean that we should, you know,

Speaker 2 be, you know, burning down cities, right?

Speaker 2 It's not the way that that should work. They got fired immediately.
My guess is they get charged within a few days as they're gathering evidence.

Speaker 2 There has to be some time for this system to play out, but I don't think it's going to take long. And there's plenty of evidence.

Speaker 2 They had, we've been informed by the police department that they all had their body cameras on. So there's that evidence.

Speaker 2 And the people who were filming it that were bystanders begging the police to get off of him and to listen to him and to ease up a little bit.

Speaker 2 And in fact, several of them said, you're killing the guy. And then he was motionless after a while.
And they still kept his

Speaker 2 knee there. Still kept his knee in his neck and throat.
At the very least, the guy had passed out at that point. At the very least, he might have been already dead by that.
He might have been dead.

Speaker 2 But you think of like, if you're in a situation where you're being restrained or you something like that, someone's choking you, right?

Speaker 2 Like your body is going to do everything it can to protect against that, right? You're going to, your chin's going to be pushed down. You're going to tighten your neck.

Speaker 2 It's going to give you some level of protection. When you pass out, you stop doing that, right? So now everything's just collapsing on top of each other.
The windpipe is closing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And the fact that you

Speaker 2 couldn't. Suffocated.
I just, it's inexplicable. Terrific.
You know, there's one thing where mistakes do happen in police work. If you, there can be a bad incident.

Speaker 2 It could be something where you're trying, you don't realize something innocent is happening and you react, you think it's threatening, and, you know, people have been shot in that way, all terrible, but not this this is a this it develops over a long period of time there's nothing happening there it's inexplicable it doesn't necessarily mean and this is I guess worth pointing out it doesn't necessarily mean they were doing it because they wanted to kill a black guy it could just be terrible police work yes right I think there's it's impossible to avoid the racial parts of this

Speaker 2 clearly going to be part of the conversation on it.

Speaker 2 It doesn't necessarily mean they left the house that day and they were like, you know what I would like to do today is find a black person to to put my knee on their throat.

Speaker 2 But it doesn't, like, that part is separate. It can be a part of the conversation, but separate of who the person is, it just seems to be absolutely horrific police work at the very least.

Speaker 2 And, you know, maybe if the guy resisted at the very beginning, which I didn't see because it wasn't on this particular video.

Speaker 2 But maybe that pissed him off to the point where, yeah, I'm just going to be on this guy's neck. It might not have been racial.
He just might have, anger may have taken hold.

Speaker 2 It doesn't excuse it at all. No, not in the least.
But it is, it it is, a lot of times that is the factor.

Speaker 2 Like, you know, you see this is happening where a good example of this was in the NFL, was it last year, where the guy in Pittsburgh

Speaker 2 hit the quarterback in his head.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 I can't remember the exact two players it was. It was the guy who hit the quarterback in the head with his helmet at the end of that game.
And

Speaker 2 a lot of criticism for the, obviously, he's going to get suspended and all this thing.

Speaker 2 His comeback to that was he called me the N-word. Now, there's no evidence of that.
The NFL went through all the tapes, did not find any evidence of it.

Speaker 2 There's no reason to believe it actually occurred. And nobody else apparently heard it.
Right. And nobody else heard it either, including other African-Americans who were there, did not hear it.

Speaker 2 Right. But the bigger part of that is it still would not justify what he did.
Exactly.

Speaker 2 You'd be understanding why he'd be pissed off about it. You'd understand, yeah, he's pissed off.
He got called a racial slur,

Speaker 2 but that does not mean you hit an unprotected head with a helmet at full speed. That's not okay.

Speaker 2 Even if he did call you that. And I think a lot of times we get locked up in a, well, well, why did he, what was his motivation? Why did this guy do something wrong? Did he commit a crime?

Speaker 2 All of those things are immaterial

Speaker 2 to what the action was at the end there. When the guy is, even if you want to take the parts where he's awake and dismiss them, the guy clearly at some point passes out and he still keeps

Speaker 2 his knee on his neck. I'm sorry.
You just, I can't find any justification. I can't find anything other than this seems to be a case where whatever the legal maximum is, is where it should land.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Sometime during the course of the show, we should just take a few minutes and

Speaker 2 play this

Speaker 2 girl who plays the Knight Rider theme

Speaker 2 on the cello and splits it into eight different parts. And it's really well done.
Really good stuff. Have you ever seen the guys who play the, what are they called?

Speaker 2 I think they're called two cellos because it's two guys with two cellos why don't they call it two guys two cellos i don't know i don't know stupid don't know it's ridiculous um but they play a version of uh

Speaker 2 acdc's uh um

Speaker 2 thunderstruck and on the cello and it's awesome you've never seen it apparently no but uh this sounds interesting this is reminiscent of that uh but she's really good maybe maybe we'll take a few minutes and and play that later on uh just to break up some of the insanity and the racism and the

Speaker 2 death and destruction. Yeah.
And all the goal of the media just to blame Trump for everything. I mean, we're not hearing a lot about Brazil right now with coronavirus, which is

Speaker 2 totally out of control right now. They're in tough shape.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 They actually, for the first time that I've noticed it, at least since the United States, obviously a big country, took over the lead, if you want to say that, for daily deaths from COVID-19, someone passed us yesterday, which was Brazil.

Speaker 2 Wow. Brazil is totally out of control.
And

Speaker 2 the only time you ever hear anything about it is,

Speaker 2 their president's just like Trump. Well, that's not true.
No. It's not true.
He's, you know, he certainly has his populist leanings, but he's Trump to about the 1,000th power.

Speaker 2 Much worse. Much, much worse.
Much worse.

Speaker 2 But yeah, they had over a thousand people die yesterday.

Speaker 2 And they don't seem to have it under control at all. They certainly don't have our medical system.
It's some big problems coming out of Brazil right now.

Speaker 2 Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K. 8-727-BECK.
It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 With Patent Stew this week for Glenn, who is on vacation. Triple 8-727-BECK.

Speaker 2 Pretty historic day today because there's going to be a launch of a spacecraft that's the first ever sort of collaboration between the government, a space agency, NASA, and a private industry, a private company,

Speaker 2 Elon Musk's SpaceX. So the rocket is from SpaceX, but there was a lot of NASA help in this.
There was a lot of NASA money in it, like $3.1 billion.

Speaker 2 And they helped develop this thing because their astronauts are going to be using it.

Speaker 2 And so this will be the first time since 2011 that we've had a space launch from the United States of America because we haven't had a space vehicle since 2011 when Obama canceled the program, the space shuttle program, with nothing to replace it with.

Speaker 2 So we've been space hitchhikers ever since. And every time we go into space with NASA astronauts in the last nine years, it costs us $100 million to do that with the Russians from Kazakhstan.

Speaker 2 So finally, we've got SpaceX, who has this rocket developed, this crew dragon. It's their Dragon

Speaker 2 space vehicle

Speaker 2 that has a manned crew this time for the first time

Speaker 2 ever in this particular adventure. So it's a big deal.
It's a big day today. And at 4:30 Eastern, they'll be launching provided the weather is okay and they can do it.
And it's been pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 I mean, the Musk, SpaceX has been impressive, though they have had a few

Speaker 2 rockets blow up. Yeah.
This type of rocket as well, too, right? Blow up on the launch pad. Yes.
So there is some worry here. Yes.

Speaker 2 Not to say that they, you know, there's always worry in one of these missions. NASA has put the risk at one in 276.

Speaker 2 And both the astronauts who are going to be in the vehicle have said we're completely comfortable with that. Yeah.
As you, as you'd imagine,

Speaker 2 as you would imagine astronauts would be, but I think most of us would say,

Speaker 2 it's a little too high. If it's not one in 276 million, I'm not sure I want to do it.
Exactly. One in 276?

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's nerve-wracking.
Very much so. Nerve-wracking.
It really is. That is a, those are not odds you want your life to be wagered on.

Speaker 2 No. But, you know, these guys, of course, have worked an endless amount of time

Speaker 2 to try to do this, and it's their dream, and they've been trained in all of this. And that is a whole nother world.
That space world is

Speaker 2 a whole other world. I was just reading a book about this recently.

Speaker 2 It was a Ben Mesrick book. I love Ben Mesrick books.

Speaker 2 But it was about, it's called Sex on the Moon.

Speaker 2 It's about

Speaker 2 a scandal that happened in the early 2000s, I guess, where they stole, a guy who was working at NASA, stole moon rocks and tried to sell them for giant profits. It's one of the most,

Speaker 2 you know, the highest price

Speaker 2 substance on Earth, right? Because there's only a certain amount of pounds. They're all controlled by NASA.
They're all in safes.

Speaker 2 And he basically broke in and stole these things and tried to make cash off of it. It's an amazing story, legitimately amazing.
And did he make cash off of it? No.

Speaker 2 unfortunately, the person he was selling the Moonrock to had to work for the FBI.

Speaker 2 So it didn't go over all that well.

Speaker 2 How does that happen all the time? No.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, they were, it seemed, you know, this is a little bit off topic here, but their approach to the, the guy who was doing it was, came up, you know, was not a,

Speaker 2 was trying to build his way into a big career in this world, but had, you know, was essentially a glorified intern at this point, but was so promising he had access to a lot of areas.

Speaker 2 Brad Melcher has something on this, doesn't he? Oh, really?

Speaker 2 I think he's written about it. Oh, really? I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean, it's an incredible story. Because it sounds familiar.
But

Speaker 2 he was much worse at being a criminal than he was being a scientist.

Speaker 2 His efforts there were like, you know, he was bringing in people who really didn't know what they were doing.

Speaker 2 He was like basically posting like want ads, like, hey, I got some stuff I'm not allowed to sell. Who wants some? To like, you know, rock collectors.
And it did not turn out well.

Speaker 2 Most people just thought it was a joke. It was just one guy in,

Speaker 2 was it Belgium that was a rock collector and was like, this doesn't sound right and contacted the FBI, and that's how they wound up catching him. Anyway, he's out of prison.
He's out of prison now.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 you can see the dedication, though, is what I was getting to, is that the people who are in this program

Speaker 2 live it. Oh, for sure.
Like, they would die to take a risk like this. Literally, they do.
You know, and have. Yes.
You know, so this is,

Speaker 2 it's a big deal, though. I like the fact that we are at least involving the private sector.
I do too. I do too.

Speaker 2 And it's kind of strange because I've always been a big NASA fan, and I was trying to figure out, well, that's, it's a government-run agency, and I believe

Speaker 2 private industry does things way better than the government does, but I've always believed in NASA. Maybe that's because they've been the only player in this game, you know, that we know of until now.

Speaker 2 Now that we have three companies involved, you got Elon Musk's SpaceX, SpaceX, you have, is it Blue Origin with Bezos and Amazon, and then you've got Virgin Atlantic's Virgin Space or whatever they call that from Richard Branson.

Speaker 2 So now there are a bunch of companies trying to do this on a private business level. And so it

Speaker 2 makes it kind of interesting, but because it's a first time, it's a little nerve-wracking as well. Yeah.
Yeah, I can see it.

Speaker 2 And it's, you know, the Elon Musk saga is fascinating for multiple reasons, you know, beyond just the space part of it, him as a person,

Speaker 2 everything's changing with this guy right now. We have to take a 60-second break.
Let's take the break, come back on the other side, and discuss the changes.

Speaker 2 There's a new poll out showing that everybody's opinion is currently in the middle of changing on Elon Musk. And it's a partisan thing.
And it's a partisan thing, yet again. Back in a second.

Speaker 2 It's Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Back Program, 888727BECK, talking about Elon Musk here and his SpaceX program, which

Speaker 2 they launched today, the first manned SpaceX flight launches today at 4.30 Eastern, 3.30 Central.

Speaker 2 But it's interesting to note that things are changing a little bit for Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 You know, here's a guy who believes in global warming to the extent that he's trying to get to Mars and establish a colony there because he believes humans will have to be multiple planet oriented.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Because we're losing the Earth.
The man with his own money

Speaker 2 and is building spaceships to escape global warming. Yes.
And this is a man who has taken his own money.

Speaker 2 Again, he's had government assistance in some of these projects, but also taken a big chunk of his own money and decided to build an electric car company.

Speaker 2 Then he decided to build the planet. To save the planet from global warming.
He decided to build a solar panel factory and batteries, improve all that technology. To save the planet.

Speaker 2 To save the planet. He is completely in line.
with

Speaker 2 the left-wing ideology when it comes to global warming and how to fix it. Though, you know, he's doing it.

Speaker 2 I've always had an affinity for Elon Musk in that he's trying to do it through the capitalist system, which I like, which I like. He's trying to build a better product.

Speaker 2 We talked about this with the guy, the Impossible Foods CEO. The same idea.
Like, we're trying to do something that we think is important for the world. Sure, whatever.
That's great. Is it good? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Does the car,

Speaker 2 we've driven a Tesla before. It's, you know, probably the most amazing driving experience I've ever been a part of.
Awesome.

Speaker 2 They're awesome.

Speaker 2 They are so fast.

Speaker 2 It's legitimately breathtaking. It is.
How fast they are. And again, I've driven some fast cars over the years.

Speaker 2 It is a totally different kind of speed.

Speaker 2 And it's really fascinating. So he's trying to do it in that way, which I like.
You got the Chevy Volt up until this point, or a dumb Toyota Prius.

Speaker 2 And then he comes along with this and revolutionizes electric cars.

Speaker 2 And so

Speaker 2 the left should love him. And I think they did.
They used to. Yeah, right.
I've been trying to find a good old poll poll on Elon Musk. Now, he's always been a sort of

Speaker 2 eccentric character.

Speaker 2 He's not always, he's, you know, tweeted things that people think are crazy. And, you know, there's all that stuff.
So he's always been that billionaire. Right.

Speaker 2 And I always thought that, like, you know, global warming would not be my focus.

Speaker 2 However, if I were a billionaire, I would do a lot of the same stuff Elon Musk does, which is just like, I'm going to start a flamethrower company. You know, like, it's stuff like that.

Speaker 2 Like, he's just, you could tell he's just having fun with this at times, even though he thinks thinks he's doing something important. So, the left did like him quite a bit.

Speaker 2 He did not like Donald Trump in the 2016 election, wanted Hillary Clinton to win, said that her policies were better for the environment, better for the country.

Speaker 2 He was, he's no right-winger, right?

Speaker 2 But this is how crazy we are with this situation when it comes to just teams. Now, a new poll has come out and has the favorability of Elon Musk turning into a completely partisan affair.

Speaker 2 This is

Speaker 2 broken down by parties. Now, his approval rating overall

Speaker 2 seems to be,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 definitely worse than it was. If you go back a few months and years,

Speaker 2 there was a poll that, let's see, this is 2016, poll taken, Elon Musk favorability was 29 to 12. Again, a lot of people don't have opinions on CEOs.
It's pretty common.

Speaker 2 But 29 to 12 is, you know, he's a plus 17 there. Okay.
Another poll

Speaker 2 had Elon Musk at

Speaker 2 33 to 10. Okay.
So plus 23.

Speaker 2 Elon Musk today, new poll out, this is from Echelon Insights,

Speaker 2 has him at 23% favorable, 34% unfavorable. So a major

Speaker 2 underwater 12 percentage points.

Speaker 2 11, if I said that wrong. 23, 34.
So he's minus 11 overall. Wow.
However, that breaks down among party lines.

Speaker 2 If I were to ask you six months ago, you may have said yes, it probably does break down on party lines. Democrats like him because of all the global warming stuff.

Speaker 2 And Republicans don't like him that much because he's always talking about global warming stuff, right?

Speaker 2 Here is the breakdown by party.

Speaker 2 GOP now sees Elon Musk favorable 31%, unfavorable 24. So he's plus 7 among Republicans.

Speaker 2 Democrats, 18% favorable, 41% unfavorable. So he's minus 23 among Democrats.
A man who's building spaceships to escape global warming is minus.

Speaker 2 And remember, to add on to this, it must be noted that the Democrats have made a show for years telling us global warming is the most important thing and the biggest threat.

Speaker 2 Over and over and over and over.

Speaker 2 What could he say on pandemics? that would make you leave him on his global warming mission? Let's get back to work. Yeah.
He said, get back to work. Let me open up the factory I own.

Speaker 2 Let me invite the employees I pay to come back and earn their salaries. And now they don't like him for that.
And now they don't like him. So now he's some.

Speaker 5 Now he's on Trump's side.

Speaker 2 Now he's on Trump's side. So they've abandoned what they have told us is the most important thing.

Speaker 2 What they have told us is the biggest threat because he wants to open up his factory a couple of weeks before they said it was allowed.

Speaker 2 Because of that and because of his opinion on coronavirus, which, again, to me, a pandemic is a bigger threat than global warming. But that's not the case you've been making.

Speaker 2 You've been telling us the opposite. So you should be able to prioritize and say the work he's doing on global warming far outweighs his,

Speaker 2 he doesn't even like Trump, but his agreement with Trump on one small slice of a big story. But because it's Trump, it's the way the media handles this.

Speaker 2 And people are just like, well, no, we don't care about him at all. It indicates two things to me.
Number one, we're way too tribal on this stuff.

Speaker 2 And, you know, I think it's, in this case, it's all Democrats, basically. I think Republicans would respect, you know, they don't like the global warming part maybe of Elon Musk, but they like him.

Speaker 2 I think they like, he's a bigger-than-life figure. He's a billionaire.

Speaker 2 Some of that settles.

Speaker 2 Capitalists. Yes, we've always liked Musk.
I mean, we've always said that.

Speaker 2 I don't think that was, they would be unpopular among Republicans, but maybe it's a little bit, he's a little more popular now. Democrats are the exact opposite.

Speaker 2 So, number one, just they're just being tribal, right?

Speaker 2 The second someone says something that not even praises Trump, but just agrees with the guy, just agrees with the guy, they totally turned out like him. It's insanity.

Speaker 2 And number two, let's be honest about it. They never believed global warming was the biggest thing.

Speaker 2 Like the average Democratic voter does not actually believe that. They believe ISIS is a bigger threat.
They believe

Speaker 2 pandemics are a bigger threat. They do believe this.
There are people, I think, like Elon Musk, who actually does think global warming is a real thing, and he's put his money where his mouth is.

Speaker 2 I'm not saying it's not real, but like the idea of it being a threat on the level of a global pandemic, right? Like, it's just like

Speaker 2 it's not true. You know, this is something where, you know, a pandemic is an immediate threat.
It's happening right now. It's always been a risk right around the corner.

Speaker 2 We've seen it happen to the world many times in recent history, and we ignored it. in many ways and acted like we had solved that problem.

Speaker 2 The global warming thing, you can tell, the average voter does not actually believe. They'll say it.
They will virtue signal about it, but they all got cars.

Speaker 2 None of them get solar panels on their roofs. It's just not real.
At some point, solar panels may very well be the type of technology we all want to buy. And that is what Elon Musk is trying to do.

Speaker 2 Make it so people don't have to have virtue to accomplish it. They just can want it because it's better.
That's how you solve that problem long-term, right? Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 Just make a good product and people gravitate to it. Yep.
Yep. Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 Well, the Chinese

Speaker 2 social media site, WeChat, has just, they caught us dead to rights.

Speaker 2 Oh, no. They see right through us.

Speaker 2 See right through us.

Speaker 2 They have alerted the world that American officials have been processing dead bodies of Chinese coronavirus victims into hamburgers and feeding them to the American people.

Speaker 2 I thought we could keep that quiet. I guess not.
I guess they're.

Speaker 2 They're on to us. They're on to us finally, you know, after all this time.
They're too astute. They're paying too much attention.

Speaker 2 You know, especially when they realized, I was worried when they started realizing that our military was the one that planted COVID-19

Speaker 2 in their society. Yeah.
And I thought that was bad enough. But now that they caught us on the hamburger.
Now that they caught us on the cannibalism that we're being involved in,

Speaker 2 we're just not going to look good. What's your favorite dish to make out of a Chinese coronavirus victim? I like Salisbury steak.
You know, it's like a nice, it's pretty delicious.

Speaker 2 You get a little pretty good brown gravy on there. Yeah.
Maybe a mushroom or two on top.

Speaker 2 How would you do that? Well, if you process some of the fatter dead bodies,

Speaker 2 I like the marbling. And so I like the ribeye.

Speaker 2 Oh, a ribeye cut. Okay.
Yeah. A good cut of ribeye.
Yeah. I could see that.
I could see that. That's.
And again, we wouldn't normally just disclose this.

Speaker 2 I didn't talk about it this openly, but they've caught us. But they caught us.
When we chat, you know, mentioned it. I mean, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?

Speaker 2 Darn it. It is the scholar forum for ultimate truth.
Oh.

Speaker 2 And we all know that. And it's attracted 1.7 million page views.
I just wonder,

Speaker 2 how many of their people believe this kind of stuff over there?

Speaker 2 Is it a lot? I mean, we certainly have plenty of our own ridiculous conspiracy theories floating around at the moment as well. We're not the only ones, or they're not the only ones on that one.
No.

Speaker 2 We have that. But there has to be a decent amount.
But they are really making an effort here to blame us, to pin something on us. Yeah.
And, you know, it would be one thing if they didn't, you know,

Speaker 2 release a

Speaker 2 global pandemic that they did not communicate the details. with us on in time.

Speaker 2 I mean, like, they were not, they did not, in any timely fashion, actually tell us what was going on, how many people were dying,

Speaker 2 you know, what the makeup of this thing was. Some of it, they worked with some scientists.
There were scientists that were saying these things and were imprisoned for it in the country.

Speaker 2 And these things, like when you cause an incident like that, and at least at the very least, I'm not saying they caused the virus. I'm not saying that by any means.
But look, these things happened.

Speaker 2 They came out of their country. They did not communicate with the world in an efficient way.

Speaker 2 They made it worse. They made it worse by hiding it and slow playing it.

Speaker 2 And it caused a lot of life.

Speaker 2 A lot of life was lost because of it. But as they say on the website, cannibalism has existed in the U.S.
before, and only a few dozen years ago, Americans ate blacks, Indians, and Chinese.

Speaker 2 So we've been doing it for a while, and they know that we're escalating that process right now.

Speaker 2 It's about time. Yeah.
It's about time.

Speaker 2 I feel a little bad, but I'm kind of, it's like a weight off my shoulders. It's almost a relief that they know now, right? Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's just like it's nice. I don't have to hide it anymore.

Speaker 2 You know, we can all go and just order our Chinese coronavirus, coronavirus victims, Salisbury steak, whatever we want, and everything will be fine.

Speaker 2 Or the ribeye, you know, if you like your meat a little bit more marbled. Yeah,

Speaker 2 that's fine too. Lots of options.
Imagine the buffet they can put out there with the real names of the products instead of the fake ones we use now.

Speaker 2 It's a relief. You're right.
It is. It's an absolute relief.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 You're listening to the Glenn Glenn Beck program. Join the conversation, 888-727-BEC.

Speaker 2 Patton Stuford Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727, B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 Have you been following this Norma McCorvey controversy at all? She is

Speaker 2 Roe of Roe v. Wade.

Speaker 2 The actual woman who wanted to have an abortion in the 70s 70s and took it all the way to the Supreme Court

Speaker 2 wound up, I think, if I remember the story correctly, not having the abortion at all,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 then eventually

Speaker 2 came out as an advocate of being pro-life.

Speaker 2 And so it was pretty ironic in that the person who was responsible for bringing it to the Supreme Court and winning the case that legalized abortion in the United States, then later on, years later,

Speaker 2 became a very strong pro-life advocate. Well, now

Speaker 2 there's a new documentary out on FX called aka Jane Row.

Speaker 2 And they claim in this documentary that Norma McCorvey said on her deathbed that she was faking it the whole time, that she was actually pro-abortion, and that pro-life advocates just paid her and told her what to say.

Speaker 2 And so she just did it.

Speaker 2 I don't believe that.

Speaker 2 I don't believe it. Yeah, it's hard to believe.

Speaker 2 It is hard to believe. The people who were around her for 30 years say that this is not true.
They don't believe it either. No, it's not true.
One of those is Abby Johnson.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 who was a Planned Parenthood worker. If I understand,

Speaker 2 they actually talked late in life. They did.
Yeah, a few days before her death.

Speaker 2 Abby says, her many years as a dedicated pro-life advocate was not a lie. Her tearful conversation, which I'll keep private, with me days before her death was not a lie.

Speaker 2 The hour she spent praying in front of abortion facilities was not a lie. Her life with Christ was not a lie.
So she is saying those things, and so is a preacher who knew her very well

Speaker 2 and said that he prayed with her multiple times and that she was legitimately pro-life. The framing of it seems to be

Speaker 2 she was paid so that she would lie to everyone and say she was pro-life. That's not even what she's saying.
I mean, like, the media framing of it is that way.

Speaker 2 What she seems to be saying is that basically she got paid for speeches and she got paid for, I don't know, books.

Speaker 2 That's very typical of an activist, right? If your job is to be an activist, you're probably going to get paid to be an activist.

Speaker 2 You know, she talks about how people wrote her speeches for her and things like that. Well, you know,

Speaker 2 that happened with Barack Obama, too.

Speaker 2 People write speeches for other people. And guess what? He makes like $450,000 per speech.
Yeah. So people pay him to talk.
They sure do.

Speaker 2 And does that mean that he doesn't believe the things he's saying? No, it doesn't.

Speaker 2 I don't think so. I'll also point out that it is.

Speaker 2 I can understand why it was a big get at one point to get the person in Roe vs. Wade to come over to your side and be a pro-life activist, right? I can understand why that would be attractive.

Speaker 2 However, it's always going to be an anecdotal thing. Just because the Roe from Roe vs.
Wade is pro-life is no reason to become pro-life.

Speaker 2 Like, it's an interesting story that surrounds it, but like it is a moral decision you base on something completely different than like, oh, that person's doing it, me too.

Speaker 2 Like, that's not the way that anybody makes that decision. No.
So I think it would be,

Speaker 2 they want to treat it as like, this is a crack. in the foundation of the pro-life movement and therefore it's going to collapse because this big name activist is gone and she was lying the whole time.

Speaker 2 And like trying to insinuate that, that means other people you see saying these things are probably, it's probably happening there, too.

Speaker 2 I mean, I can't vouch for it. A lot of people who are around her say this is not how she felt.
She did have a conversion at one point. And maybe, you know, was not a very happy person throughout life.

Speaker 2 She had a lot of terrible things happen to her.

Speaker 2 If the story is true,

Speaker 2 think about this. She fought for, she was Roe, Roe versus Wade.

Speaker 2 Think about it from a left-wing perspective. She's able to free this amazing right to be able to kill your children for all women across the nation.

Speaker 2 And then you spend 30 years trying to dissuade people from doing that and hurting that movement. Like

Speaker 2 your life is hell, right? Like you've basically dedicated your life to selfish personal gain to destroy an important right.

Speaker 2 Like that is, it's hard to describe a worse life than that.

Speaker 2 So, and then we are supposed to believe that this woman that you're telling us took money to lie is telling the absolute truth on her deathbed in front of a documentary crew. Did they pay her?

Speaker 2 That question was asked of the documentary crew, and you know what they said? No, we didn't pay her. I mean, there were some expenses.

Speaker 2 You know, we did license some of her photos.

Speaker 2 Well, what do you think?

Speaker 2 That, like, you're saying that the pro-life movement was paying her for a speech. There's a much clearer line than licensing her personal photos.
Wait, there's a lot of people don't get paid for that.

Speaker 2 You know, when you're doing a documentary, you usually hand over a bunch of photos and they take them. They don't license the photos typically of something like that.

Speaker 2 They're doing that because they were looking for a way to pay her. And she probably was in a desperate situation with no money and may have been taking money from them to lie.
Who knows?

Speaker 2 You're the one telling us she's a big liar. So I don't know what the truth is with her.
It's completely unimportant to the pro-life cause. It's important to her life and her legacy and her soul.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they act like she was a major influence on the pro-life movement. I don't even know that that's the case.
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 I mean, I didn't even know about the fact that she had changed until a few years ago. A few years ago.
And I didn't know her name. You know, I just knew Roe from Roe vs.
Wade.

Speaker 2 And I knew that storyline was vaguely familiar with it. But I mean, Roe vs.
Wade happened. Because there was a pro-life movement already, right?

Speaker 2 There's a bunch of people who didn't think abortion should be legal. That's why we know what the case is.
Because there was two sides to that.

Speaker 2 The fact that she was on the pro-abortion side at one point, flipped to the pro-life side, and maybe went back to the pro-abortion side is completely inconsequential to the moral argument about what should be happening.

Speaker 2 And that is, of course, where the real meat of that movement is. And look how effective.

Speaker 2 You know, not that it didn't matter at all that she changed sides. I think it's great that she did if she did, for real.
But

Speaker 2 we lost, right? I mean, we've lost for the last 45 years in this debate. Now, they act like they're how much did she help?

Speaker 2 We didn't get anywhere. We lost a lot of ground, in fact.
We've gone the wrong way since Roe v. Wade.
Yeah, people don't realize.

Speaker 2 I think the average person, maybe in this audience, does, but the average person does not realize if we were to move to Roe versus Wade. That'd be more of a pro-life position than we're at right now.

Speaker 2 A massive move to the conservative side of the argument. and every activist you see on TV would be throw,

Speaker 2 you know, oddly enough, screaming bloody murder about what the evil conservatives are doing to our country.

Speaker 2 You know, the Roe vs. Wade is written basically to say that the first trimester abortion is legal.
I mean,

Speaker 2 it says, you know, quite clearly, the third trimester, states can say, nope.

Speaker 2 It says in Roe vs. Wade.
It's in the ruling. It also says that the second trimester is when you can put on restrictions on how it's, you know, with health restrictions and those sorts of things.

Speaker 2 Those things are all gone now. Oh, yeah.
I mean, see, you know, some states have

Speaker 2 restrictions, you know, not nearly as many. You can't be in favor of any restrictions and be a Democrat in good standing.

Speaker 2 Great. You can't

Speaker 2 be a minute before birth. Abortion on demand at any time for any reason, all the way up to birth.
Yeah. And we're in a country where the most conservative states in our union are to the

Speaker 2 left of

Speaker 2 Russia, of Europe. So Europe has more, let me rephrase that because I screwed it up.

Speaker 2 Europe has

Speaker 2 more conservative abortion laws than

Speaker 2 the United States does, including places like Utah. Which is despicable.
I mean, so this is not a

Speaker 2 situation where... It's not necessarily that that's the case, but it is.
Yeah, we have a very active pro-life movement here,

Speaker 2 but that's different than the hoops you have to go through in places like Germany, like get a doctor sign-off from, from, uh, to have an abortion.

Speaker 2 You know, many countries have much more restrictive limits, you know, 12 weeks, eight weeks, 14 weeks.

Speaker 2 You know, we could go through the whole list maybe sometime this week if it's worth it, but it's, it's a, it's a dramatic difference. And, you know, much of our country is.

Speaker 2 far to the left of Europe on this particular issue.

Speaker 2 It is a situation which I'm not, you know, at all happy about, but it is not covered at all by the media.

Speaker 2 They act as if, well, we're just one Brett Kavanaugh away from everything going away. I wish that were the case.
I wish it was true because I want it to happen. I really wish that.

Speaker 2 A lot of times they'll say,

Speaker 2 we'll say this about the people on the left. We'll say,

Speaker 2 you're just going after bump stocks and other things about guns because in the end, you want there to be no Second Amendment, right? And they say, no, we love the Second Amendment.

Speaker 2 What are you talking about, Hunter? We're hunters.

Speaker 2 My dad's out hunting right now in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 And they deny it. I own a shotgun.
Yeah. I own two.
Yeah. I saw a gun once in a movie.

Speaker 2 Here's the thing. I am that way with abortion.
Any little restriction that we can get in the states,

Speaker 2 is it my end goal to have none of it? Yep. I want no abortions, zero of them.
But why wouldn't you take the little steps along the way? Yeah, I took

Speaker 2 your end goal.

Speaker 2 Because it's better than what we're doing now. I fully admit it.
Killing fewer babies, that's a good thing. Great.
That's a great outcome. Yeah.
More people being alive, better.

Speaker 2 Less people being alive, worse. Worse.
This is a difficult thing for people to grasp at times. But I mean,

Speaker 2 can you imagine? Think of just how many more voters you'd have if you're the Democrats or the Republicans. Think of how many, you talk about war on women, think of how many more women you'd have.

Speaker 2 When you talk about racism, think of how many more black people you would have. You know, all I know is that, you know, they always accuse the right of racism.

Speaker 2 I know that if we implemented our policies, there'd be millions more black people alive. Many millions.
And the Democrats have policies that lead to millions of black people not being alive.

Speaker 2 I feel like 16 million more black people would be alive today. It's

Speaker 2 soul-crushing even thinking. Think about the fact that in New York City, there are more abortions than live births for black

Speaker 2 babies. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's incredible. Yeah.
There was a staggering. You know, Sabo, the artist,

Speaker 2 a guy who does all this, like, kind of, he posts these posters up and like, you know, wrecks the left a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He was on with us the other day and we were going through his site and he has a just a haunting thing he did, which is just, it's just a little doll of a black baby. And above it, it just says 50-50.

Speaker 2 And I was like, God, think about this. Wow.
You're in New York City.

Speaker 2 And a black baby

Speaker 2 is conceived. It's 50-50.
It's actually a little bit less, I think, than 50-50 to be born. That is incomprehensible.
We can talk about, look, we talked talked about the Minnesota thing quite clearly

Speaker 2 in stark terms about how bad the situation was with this officer and this guy who was killed in Minnesota. But I mean, can we step, even coronavirus, right? Like we have 100,000 people dead.

Speaker 2 I'm not one of the people who thinks that this has been, they're lying about it or anything like that. I'm not on that bandwagon.
A lot of people,

Speaker 2 even the skeptical case at this point is a lot of freaking people are dead from this.

Speaker 2 And it's a bad thing. But I mean, we step back from this.
The way we've reacted to this being very, very dramatic. And obviously everyone's talked about the economic side effects of this.

Speaker 2 We would have millions of more people alive if we would not simply kill them in the womb while they're completely innocent and have no chance of survival, no chance to be the person who comes up with the COVID-19 vaccine.

Speaker 2 No, you know, there's just,

Speaker 2 it's incomprehensible that this does not grasp the country's country's attention so much more than it does currently.

Speaker 2 And I think because it's down these tribal lines and no one has any belief that anything's ever going to change, you know, we don't talk about it all that much. But we've made this point before.

Speaker 2 If we spent every minute of every show solely talking about that issue, morally, it would be a crappy show.

Speaker 2 You'd be like, God, I cannot hear about this topic again. But morally, I would have no qualms with it.

Speaker 2 If it was the only thing we ever discussed, if tax rates got to 80% and we just ignored it and let them go it'd be really really bad but i mean you could make the argument this is the the clearest thing uh that we should have a voice on no question

Speaker 2 you're listening to glenn back

Speaker 2 Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glenbag program.

Speaker 2 This is kind of a

Speaker 2 cool version of a girl playing

Speaker 2 the Knight Rider theme. Samara Ginsburg is her name?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 She's playing on a

Speaker 2 eight different parts on a cello. On On a cello.
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 2 I could not. I was drawing a complete blank as to what that's called.
Eight different parts on a cello. And she's split into eight different little

Speaker 2 scenes.

Speaker 2 And she's this is really good. It's really detailed, too.
I will say, first of all, Knight Rider, one of the great TV themes of all time. I've always loved this stupid TV theme.

Speaker 2 But I would also say, too, one of the weird things that's come out of this is really oddly creative things. I mean, I guess people have more time on their hands and they're putting this stuff together

Speaker 2 with the internet, getting to amplify it. It's been that some of that's been pretty cool.
I mean, she's playing all eight parts on her own.

Speaker 2 That's good. It's really cool.
It's really good. It's really cool.
I could have done that. I mean, I obviously have the talent for it.
I just never, you know, I just didn't want to.

Speaker 2 I had more important things. Yeah, I can't waste time like that.
I wish I could. Yeah.
But I can't. I've been creating

Speaker 2 cures to viruses. Really? Yep.

Speaker 2 I've been. Yeah.
Like which ones? Because obviously not this particular virus is going around. Well, actually, I have

Speaker 2 cured coronavirus, COVID-19. The issue is I'm not going to give it to people unless

Speaker 2 they give me a billion dollars. Oh.
And no one's stepped up to the billion. Nobody has.

Speaker 2 I'm doing it purely for profit.

Speaker 2 I'm not trying to help people. At some point, they'll be.
I would think that would be worth it to some government. Well, here's what I say is like

Speaker 2 give me the billion dollars, then find out if I've cured it. Okay.

Speaker 2 The biggest issue is: what? You lose, you're out a billion dollars. You guys spend that on turtle tunnels.
Right?

Speaker 2 You know, so just give me the billion, and then you'll have the knowledge and this peace of mind to know whether the cure is already done.

Speaker 2 You know, it's worth a lot.
