Biden’s Awkward Moments Continue | 8/9/19
CNN’s town hall on gun control was not a major television event. Is President Trump approaching a watershed moment among conservatives? Pat and Stu draw a comparison to Bush on immigration. Joe Biden is holding up well in the polls, but he just doesn’t stop making pathetic statements on the campaign trail. The Paris climate accord would have solved nothing, even if the science was right.Hour 2Leftist thinks it’s possible to boycott everyone who is a conservative or Trump supporter. How much did Hillary Clinton harm her campaign with her “basket of deplorables” comment? ICE raid in Mississippi captures 680 illegal aliens employed at food processing facilities. Why have liberals taken a stand against teaching immigrants English? The answer is quite simple.Hour 3There really isn’t anything you can eat that isn’t linked to an increased risk of cancer. The latest study on sugar intake is alarming but should be taken with a grain of salt. The Democrats keep on learning tough lessons in public relations, but also keep on ignoring what they’ve learned. The Dayton shooter was clearly just as evil as the El Paso killer, but nobody seems to care because he was an ANTIFA member.

Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 3 Patton Stew for Glenn.
Speaker 5 He's back Monday.
Speaker 6 Man, the time's gone by fast.
Speaker 7 Triple 8 727 B E C K.
Speaker 11 Now, you can hear my show immediately preceding this show, live on the Blaze Radio and TV network, Pac Ray Unleashed, or you can listen to it anytime you want, wherever you get your podcasts, iTunes or SoundCloud.
Speaker 22 Soundtunes Soundtunes iCloud okay it's Snapface Snapface is another place where you can get it Friendster MySpace get it anyway Ask Jeeves is probably the most prominent place people go to get their podcast Ask Jeeves big
Speaker 9 and Lycos big
Speaker 10 on Lycos that's true Lycos and Metacrawler a lot of people say well Lycos Ask Jeeves what are those it's amazing how that stuff seems I mean that's like ancient history isn't it I know I love throwing in the friendster jokes.
Speaker 33 It's my favorite one because if you don't know, it was a social network before Facebook and really.
Speaker 6 And before I think MySpace, MySpace.
Speaker 35 It was around there.
Speaker 37 It was like the one that everyone said was going to make a big run, but never really caught on.
Speaker 31 Right.
Speaker 39 And we're like, it's like 12 generations ago now.
Speaker 27 Like, my references are getting.
Speaker 41 It really is.
Speaker 29 You get to a point where you're, we always used to make fun of you because all of your impersonations are dead.
Speaker 18 They're either dead or long retired.
Speaker 48 There's no, there's no active person you impersonate.
Speaker 41 All the people have passed away.
Speaker 49 Their parents, their children barely remember them.
Speaker 50 It's a weird thing.
Speaker 51 As they're current, I can't do their voice.
Speaker 3 As soon as they die.
Speaker 53 So weird. I can get there now.
Speaker 44 So true.
Speaker 54 So, yeah, no,
Speaker 30 it's a long road, Pat.
Speaker 18 It's a long road. Yes.
Speaker 55 Anyway.
Speaker 58 I think eventually we're going to get to that point where people feel the same way about CNN.
Speaker 30 You're going to make a CNN joke and people are like, what?
Speaker 62 What is CNN? What is that?
Speaker 33 If they keep going as they currently are, that will happen.
Speaker 63 This is pretty bad.
Speaker 41 You know, they did this big gun town hall thing over the last couple of days.
Speaker 68 Which I'm sure they thought was going to be massive.
Speaker 70 Well, the last one was, right?
Speaker 20 I mean, the last one was a big deal, at least.
Speaker 71 I don't know how it did in the ratings.
Speaker 73 I can't remember, but I think it did pretty well in the ratings that night.
Speaker 37 Actually, let's see.
Speaker 26 Yeah, so Jake Tapper did the first one, and
Speaker 50 it did a little bit better.
Speaker 77 So last night
Speaker 22 they did America Under Assault: the gun crisis.
Speaker 63 aired at 9 p.m., drew in 1.2 million total viewers on average.
Speaker 78 Hannity,
Speaker 80 who interviewed a Democratic candidate in last place, Bill de Blasio,
Speaker 82 3.1 million.
Speaker 27 And Rachel Maddow did 2.3 million.
Speaker 83 So they only lost.
Speaker 84 Jeez.
Speaker 85 They came in third place and came in half of second place.
Speaker 26 is how many people actually watched.
Speaker 32 Jake Tapper's Town Hall had 58% more viewers than Chris Cuomos.
Speaker 74 So this did not work very well this time.
Speaker 89 Now, look,
Speaker 90 it's the same trick they tried last time, right?
Speaker 28 You come out and you try to take advantage of a tragedy and you try to ramp up ratings, and that's not a good idea.
Speaker 66 I don't think people think of that as
Speaker 89 inbounds.
Speaker 92 It feels really icky to try to take advantage of something like that.
Speaker 83 Maybe the first time you do it, people are like, all right, look, they're trying to get solutions.
Speaker 40 They're trying, you know, when you hear the voices of some of these people in the community, I mean, you can make those arguments.
Speaker 85 You trot it out again after how bad it went last time when you got to a point where the people that you brought in as guests.
Speaker 25 Completely stacked the deck against Dana, who was there to be a spokesperson for the NRA.
Speaker 10 Yeah.
Speaker 99 And they just tried to bludgeon her the whole time.
Speaker 13 And in some ways, literally.
Speaker 40 I mean, like, that was a legitimate security threat for her.
Speaker 76 Right.
Speaker 97 And, you know, luckily she was able to get out of there.
Speaker 102 But they did not treat it well.
Speaker 36 They did not handle it well.
Speaker 27 The biggest mistake they made as far as the actual program went was having the large, loud, cheering crowd.
Speaker 32 Because that's not, look, if you're trying to make an argument that you're coming up with real solutions and we care about this and we care about the community, you know, you don't turn it into a WWE event.
Speaker 55 Yeah.
Speaker 104 And that's what they did last time.
Speaker 77 I don't know if they did that this time.
Speaker 65 I don't remember seeing a crowd.
Speaker 74 It could be that they invited a crowd, but then they heard it was Chris Cuomo, so they didn't come.
Speaker 85 That's a very possible thing here, but it did not do well.
Speaker 107 Finished third place for their big gun town hall.
Speaker 74 And, you know, at some point, you got to pull the plug on the Chris Cuomo experiment, don't you?
Speaker 112 At some point, you just have to realize.
Speaker 104 I think so, yes.
Speaker 59 Yes, he has a famous name in the state you're in.
Speaker 110 Okay, that's about what you have with Chris.
Speaker 65 I think it's about time to just say, you know, just turn it off.
Speaker 114 You know,
Speaker 97 sometimes you try things and they just don't work.
Speaker 39 Yeah. You know, you saw a guy, he said, hey, I remember that guy used to be governor, and now his brother's, his dad used to be governor, now his brother's governor.
Speaker 116 Maybe we should put him on TV.
Speaker 118 And it seems like a good idea at the time.
Speaker 113 And then it falls apart.
Speaker 121 And you can try to, you know, put it back together over and over and over again.
Speaker 27 But at some point, you just have to say, look, this is not working.
Speaker 89 And I think we're there with Chris Cuomo, are we not?
Speaker 18 Oh, yes.
Speaker 126 We were there day, I think, two for me.
Speaker 127 But if it takes CNN a little while to catch up, okay, but they should be caught up by now.
Speaker 14 All right, much more coming up.
Speaker 7 60 seconds.

Speaker 69 Patton Stuford Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 10 Triple H 727BECK, big headline about the NRA warning President Bush or President Trump
Speaker 68 and warning him that his supporters just aren't going to be supportive of gun control.
Speaker 125 I really believe that's true.
Speaker 135 I think even the hardest core of Trump's supporters would oppose
Speaker 9 getting into gun control legislation or gun control executive orders.
Speaker 16 And he's seemingly, according to these stories, been asking around with his aides, people close to him.
Speaker 32 And he's also said it publicly that he wants to go after it.
Speaker 90 He hasn't been specific. So what does that mean?
Speaker 17 He wants to have expanded background checks and
Speaker 138 red flag laws.
Speaker 60 And he's spoken
Speaker 45 some support for those ideas.
Speaker 74 But in passing and walking up to a plane, who knows what this actually means?
Speaker 124 That being said, when you go after a core belief of
Speaker 38 your
Speaker 50 voting block,
Speaker 118 you risk things, even when you are incredibly popular.
Speaker 26 I mean,
Speaker 140 George W.
Speaker 141 Bush came out of his re-election, beat John Kerry, was incredibly popular.
Speaker 135 And this was 05, 06, when he did the comprehensive immigration reform thing.
Speaker 142 And so one of the first things he did was to use some of his political capital capital to go after immigration reform.
Speaker 73 And that was what essentially destroyed his presidency.
Speaker 76 Really hurt him. You know, there were multiple things.
Speaker 144 I'll also give you Harriet Myers as a Supreme Court nominee, which the base rejected.
Speaker 101 And
Speaker 36 in addition to that, his handling of Katrina really wiped out a lot of his,
Speaker 105 you know, he really was known as sort of the competent in crisis sort of president.
Speaker 102 because of everything that happened with 9-11.
Speaker 96 The war, though, started turning the wrong way.
Speaker 97 And then Katrina happened.
Speaker 74 And, you know, while the reporting on a lot of that was really bad, and a lot of that wasn't him, you know, screwing those things up, it still didn't help at all.
Speaker 117 But really,
Speaker 117 it was never a big deal.
Speaker 75 People were like, oh, well, his, you know, people lost faith in him because of Katrina.
Speaker 85 Well, some did, right?
Speaker 146 But it was never a case of.
Speaker 6 I don't think a lot of conservatives lost faith in him because of Katrina.
Speaker 19 They knew that wasn't his fault.
Speaker 75 The difference in his presidency between term one and term two was not that the people in general lost faith in Bush.
Speaker 40 It was that his actual, the conservatives did.
Speaker 78 Yeah.
Speaker 64 Because of things like immigration reform, they were like, look, I mean, he's not even, you know, we'll walk through him with a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 97 If he makes a mistake, we're okay.
Speaker 85 But like, this is violating, he's trying to do something against us.
Speaker 63 Yes. You know, it was not that he screwed up.
Speaker 151 He's trying to do something that we don't, like, he's coming after our core values.
Speaker 24 And conservatives were making a lot of noise about it, how much they opposed it, and we don't want you to do this.
Speaker 153 Well, he tried to do it anyway, and that did hurt him.
Speaker 54 And they stopped it.
Speaker 19 And then later, yes, conservatives did stop it.
Speaker 9 Later, he also, not only did he still want the comprehensive immigration reform, but then he went after the Border Patrol agents, Ramos and Campion,
Speaker 124 and would not budge on that at all until the day he left office.
Speaker 11 Those guys languished in jail for a couple of years because, you know, they shot a drug dealer in the butt who, by the way, they thought had a gun and was aiming it at them.
Speaker 9 And so that really hurt him, too.
Speaker 153 And when he cited,
Speaker 153 then he further sided with Mexico
Speaker 6 as Mexico tried to stop the execution of that heinous illegal immigrant from 1993 who raped and murdered two 15-year-old girls in Houston.
Speaker 25 And he'd been on death row for quite some time.
Speaker 155 And Bush sided with Mexico against Texas for that.
Speaker 82 Yeah, right.
Speaker 81 And those were all huge issues, I remember, for the audience at the time.
Speaker 70 And it turned his base.
Speaker 73 And that was a violation of
Speaker 18 something they believed was a core value, rule of law on the border.
Speaker 37 And it was something that really,
Speaker 97 I think really was the thing that turned his presidency from what was beforehand largely.
Speaker 104 on partisan lines.
Speaker 97 You know, certainly after 9-11, he was much more popular than that.
Speaker 42 But, you know, it had come down to a a point where Republicans basically liked Bush and Democrats basically didn't.
Speaker 23 And after that, that Republican support eroded.
Speaker 80 And the reason we bring this up is because when, you know, Trump risks a lot violating a core belief of his own audience.
Speaker 16 Yeah, and this is definitely one of those. Yeah.
Speaker 71 I mean, it's a lot of people.
Speaker 136 Second Amendment is pretty core for a lot of people.
Speaker 32 You know, if he wants to win this election, you know, I was talking to David Harris Jr., who's a, you know, he's on News and Why It Matters, and he's a big social media personality, very pro-Trump.
Speaker 101 And
Speaker 161 we were talking about this, and he said, you know, look,
Speaker 7 my audience is pissed off about this.
Speaker 56 David's audience is very pro-Trump.
Speaker 27 I mean, he's a very pro-Trump guy. He loves him.
Speaker 138 He's been to the White House a bunch of times.
Speaker 36 Like, he is, you know, in that pocket completely.
Speaker 31 You know, he is the, you know,
Speaker 45 he's a loyal guy.
Speaker 130 He believes his Trump is doing a great job.
Speaker 57 And he said his audience is doing the same thing.
Speaker 146 They are really scared about this.
Speaker 30 They do not want him to do this.
Speaker 76 And he made the point, and this point is true, that, look, right now they're going to be mad about this, but when it comes down to it, what are you going to vote for Elizabeth Warren?
Speaker 58 What are you going to do?
Speaker 27 I mean, like, you're going to have a choice there, and that's just a good point.
Speaker 83 Yeah, when it comes down to it, he's still going to be a better choice than Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 73 The issue, though, is
Speaker 18 enthusiasm.
Speaker 37 Some people, you know, look, are they all going to turn out?
Speaker 165 Are they going to donate?
Speaker 63 Are they going to campaign?
Speaker 96 Are they going to be telling every one of their friends how great Trump is?
Speaker 8 Or are they going to be like,
Speaker 58 well, I mean, look, he's better.
Speaker 28 And I, you know, he pisses me off on this issue, but
Speaker 66 I'll pull pull the lever for him without all of that extra stuff.
Speaker 97 You know, one of the big stories, I think, of Trump's presidency has been passion.
Speaker 63 You know, you have a really passionate base that's going to go out there.
Speaker 28 They're going to fight for this guy no matter what.
Speaker 167 And if you start eroding that, if you start just on the edges,
Speaker 114 you can't afford to lose a lot of votes.
Speaker 27 This is an election.
Speaker 142 Remember, obviously, not that this matters electorally, but he didn't, you know, he lost the popular vote.
Speaker 169 This is a, so, and I don't say that to say that, like, oh, he lost.
Speaker 170 I say that to say it it was close.
Speaker 45 It was a lot closer than memory might serve you if you look at the Electoral College.
Speaker 75 Yeah.
Speaker 28 I mean, basically, it was about 70,000 votes that were the difference in that election.
Speaker 164 That's not a lot.
Speaker 36 No, it's not.
Speaker 97 And, you know, so you have to be careful, and you start going after Second Amendment rights.
Speaker 40 And that might just be enough to take away at the fringe and give us some socialist to come in here and be president of the United States.
Speaker 18 And nobody wants that.
Speaker 173 At least I don't.
Speaker 19 Yeah. Me neither.
Speaker 82 And we've, I think we've mentioned that a couple of times.
Speaker 42 You don't want a socialist as a present in the answer today?
Speaker 69 I think I have. It's come up.
Speaker 18 AAAAAA 727BECK.
Speaker 147 More in a minute.

Speaker 10 It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Pack Program, 888-727-BECK.
Speaker 11 Biden is out there campaigning really hard and
Speaker 73 really
Speaker 9 impressing people.
Speaker 18 He really is.
Speaker 15 He's saying some powerful things right now.
Speaker 54 Yeah, he is.
Speaker 138 He's having his troubles, Pat.
Speaker 28 I think there's something about Biden right now where his brain is working at
Speaker 60 a different pace as his mouth.
Speaker 27 I don't know how to describe it exactly.
Speaker 84 He seems off. He seems off.
Speaker 82 Doesn't he?
Speaker 3 I mean, even more than usual for Joe.
Speaker 102 And you can tell in this particular instance, he catches what he's done almost immediately.
Speaker 58 I love it.
Speaker 86 And you can hear him try to retroactively act as if he meant to say what he said.
Speaker 159 He tries to fix it.
Speaker 115 Yes, he tries.
Speaker 177 And you give him credit for at least recognizing it in the moment.
Speaker 21 But here it is talking about
Speaker 61 poor kids
Speaker 96 and their talent levels.
Speaker 39 Listen very closely.
Speaker 179 And the other thing we should do is we should challenge these students. We should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs in these schools.
Speaker 179 We have this notion that somehow, if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 44 Wealthy kids, black kids,
Speaker 44 Asian kids.
Speaker 18 I really mean it, but think how we think about it.
Speaker 3 Love that.
Speaker 182 Poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 164 And
Speaker 183 wealthy kids and
Speaker 49 fat kids and skinny kids and kids who climb on rocks and, you know, the tough kids, the sissy kids, and those ones who have chicken pox.
Speaker 52 That's so bad.
Speaker 27 I'm surprised he didn't just go right into that rhyme because he because he goes, he says white kids.
Speaker 46 So in other words, like, I mean, in case you're missing
Speaker 18 only black kids, white kids are poor, right?
Speaker 110 So, of course, if a Republican said this, it is the end of your career.
Speaker 15 Had this been Trump,
Speaker 6 it would be the only thing that mainstream media talked about.
Speaker 159 Absolute proof only is white supremacy.
Speaker 27 Yes.
Speaker 118 Right?
Speaker 163 If you are not calling him a racist as a journalist tomorrow, you are a heathen.
Speaker 166 Yep.
Speaker 122 But with Joe Biden, it's just him screwing up, I'm sure.
Speaker 20 That's the way they'll spin this.
Speaker 27 I would be very concerned if I was a Democrat and thought Biden was the most electable.
Speaker 187 Because too many of these things, man, he does this.
Speaker 110 He did this a lot back then.
Speaker 32 He's getting much, much worse now.
Speaker 66 Yeah, he is. This is a bad thing.
Speaker 35 Poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 97 And then he says, Well, so then he realizes what I should have said is wealthy kids.
Speaker 39 So then he says wealthy kids.
Speaker 188 Then he remembers, like, I wait, I already said white kids, people heard it. I better say it again.
Speaker 151 Then he goes to white kids again.
Speaker 84 Then he goes to Asian kids.
Speaker 189 Like, what all I was saying was every group I could think of.
Speaker 23 I swear.
Speaker 20 I mean, it's bad.
Speaker 84 It is bad.
Speaker 163 And he just says his mind is not, it's not sharp.
Speaker 163 And you have a couple of these moments early on in your campaign.
Speaker 94 You can deal with it.
Speaker 166 But
Speaker 190 the problem is not whether he can keep it all together.
Speaker 122 The questions begin when enough Democratic primary voters see this and say, geez, Trump's going to be all over him for this stuff.
Speaker 23 He's going to lose to Trump.
Speaker 23 Because that's all you have with Biden.
Speaker 45 All you have with Biden is electability. People believe Biden can beat Trump.
Speaker 35 So if Biden's electability goes away, there's no reason to stay with Biden.
Speaker 10 And I think a lot of people are only with him because of that electability.
Speaker 16 They'd rather have somebody
Speaker 24 who's willing to go further to the extreme left.
Speaker 69 Right.
Speaker 73 They'd rather have that, but they just don't think Bernie Sanders can win.
Speaker 20 Right.
Speaker 27 They don't think Elizabeth Warren can win.
Speaker 16 But I got to see this one more time because it's absolutely priceless.
Speaker 136 This is great stuff.
Speaker 179 And the other thing we should do is we should challenge these students.
Speaker 179 We should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow, if you're poor, you cannot do it.
Speaker 179 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 44 Wealthy kids.
Speaker 44 Asian kids.
Speaker 9 If that was strong, again, they would be, we just got a glimpse into what's in his heart.
Speaker 137 Yes, he tried to cover it up, but it was too late because he really showed us what he thinks. Yeah.
Speaker 18 And it's in that moment.
Speaker 146 And that's that white people are supreme, right?
Speaker 26 I mean, that's a white supremacist argument.
Speaker 56 Yes. Right.
Speaker 47 White people are.
Speaker 118 He's trying to be basically said, oh, I swear.
Speaker 43 The other thing I love about this is he said poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 23 There's one person person in the audience who wholeheartedly agrees with him on this point.
Speaker 52 And it's collapsed right away.
Speaker 50 Just collapsed right away.
Speaker 52 He's like, yeah, somebody finally said it. Yes, poor kids are as good as white kids.
Speaker 154 Wow. Well, Bush kind of said it a while ago.
Speaker 50 President George W.
Speaker 123 Just let me make it very clear.
Speaker 191 Poor people aren't necessarily killers.
Speaker 18 It's kind of the same thing, right?
Speaker 191 Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill.
Speaker 192 I love that.
Speaker 69 So in other words, poor kids aren't necessarily killers either.
Speaker 18 Right. Stu.
Speaker 3 Now, they might be.
Speaker 18 They probably are, but not necessarily do they kill
Speaker 18 not rich.
Speaker 152 Oh, man, that's a pretty interesting one.
Speaker 56 Priceless.
Speaker 57 How many of those do you get?
Speaker 47 Something like that.
Speaker 40 Every day one of these things happened.
Speaker 97 There's another, you know, half a percent of the Democratic voter,
Speaker 30 primary voters that say,
Speaker 115 I don't think I want to risk this.
Speaker 161 I don't think I want to risk it.
Speaker 109 This is going to happen on a big stage, and he's going to wind up losing by 10 points.
Speaker 9 The other problem are the voters.
Speaker 174 I mean, the donors.
Speaker 11 The donors for Biden are going to be thinking, wow, is he just losing it?
Speaker 174 Can I afford to pump more money into this guy or his political action committees?
Speaker 12 I don't think so.
Speaker 51 Yeah.
Speaker 10 At some point, that will happen too, where it'll cast a doubt on the people who are fueling his campaign.
Speaker 14 And then he's in real trouble.
Speaker 152 Yeah.
Speaker 143 Think of Peyton Manning's last year.
Speaker 91 He started his quarterback.
Speaker 97 And, you know, he was a great quarterback.
Speaker 27 Now, Joe Biden was never a great politician.
Speaker 32 He's never won a big race like this.
Speaker 194 But, I mean, towards that end of that year,
Speaker 63 you could tell he was still like, he kind of knew what he was doing generally, but the throws just didn't have snap on him anymore.
Speaker 96 They weren't getting to the targets.
Speaker 65 There were bad interceptions.
Speaker 139 It looked like he was done.
Speaker 89 Now, he wound up winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 43 So maybe that's what happens here with Biden, but it just looks like he's lost.
Speaker 33
He's lost it. He's definitely lost a step.
Yeah. Or two.
Speaker 8 Maybe more. Yeah.
Speaker 45
Maybe more. Maybe more.
Or 10.
Speaker 125 888 900.
Speaker 137 Triple 8 727.
Speaker 10 B E C K.
Speaker 174 It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 129
Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show, Takovis. I know how ridiculous a great pair of boots can cost.
To Covis makes great boots and accessories.

Speaker 9 Batten Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 98 You know, despite his gaffes, Biden's still doing, holding up pretty well in the polls.
Speaker 174 I mean, I haven't seen a lot of erosion.
Speaker 18 Have you?
Speaker 15 You follow the polls closer than I do.
Speaker 29 Yeah, no, there hasn't been a he after the first debate, he did drop a bunch.
Speaker 67 He regained probably about two-thirds of that drop in the interim.
Speaker 145 Yeah.
Speaker 6 He's still around 28.30 now, right?
Speaker 35 Yeah, but he was a little higher than that before.
Speaker 34 Yeah.
Speaker 27 He, the one thing, if you want to look for a problem area in Biden,
Speaker 107 a lot of times will, you know, some of these polls will break out the voters who are paying close attention and who are not paying close attention.
Speaker 60 So if you break it out like that, people who are paying close attention, which eventually everyone gets to, right?
Speaker 111 As you get closer to voting, everyone's paying close attention.
Speaker 20 Right now, it's split.
Speaker 64 Half of the people who are voting are not even, they know basically kind of what's going on, but they're not following it.
Speaker 143 The people who are following it, Biden does much worse among those people.
Speaker 63 So that could be an indication of weakness, right? When people start really watching it, really knowing who, let's say, Kamala Harris is, they might gravitate to her.
Speaker 35 She does much better
Speaker 108 among people who are watching the election more closely.
Speaker 37 So that is a potential area of weakness, but he's still, I mean, look, it's still his to choke.
Speaker 143 It's his election to lose when it comes to this Democratic primary.
Speaker 30 And he is very good at losing.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 177 it is very possible.
Speaker 64 We We said this from the beginning.
Speaker 39 He's the favorite.
Speaker 91 He should be thought of in some ways in his own tier of candidates.
Speaker 60 It's really only the only way Joe Biden should lose this election is if he blows it.
Speaker 21 But he blows it all the time.
Speaker 171 Every time he gets on stage, he finds a new way to blow it.
Speaker 172 And he did it two or three times yesterday.
Speaker 188 We played the clip where he said white poor kids are as talented as white kids.
Speaker 106 That's not a good moment.
Speaker 183 Oops.
Speaker 30 How about this one? This is from talking about truth.
Speaker 196 You got to choose truth, Pat.
Speaker 56 Choose truth over something else.
Speaker 22 Let's listen.
Speaker 180 We choose unity over division. We choose science over fiction.
Speaker 180 We choose truth over facts.
Speaker 72 So, folks,
Speaker 18 if you're interested, join me. I could use the help.
Speaker 82 Because
Speaker 180 must defeat this president to change the trajectory of this country. Right.
Speaker 8 Now, go to Joe 30330 tutorial.
Speaker 30 Do that now.
Speaker 51 So, truth over
Speaker 18 facts.
Speaker 164 Huh.
Speaker 115 I don't know exactly what.
Speaker 58 He's got a narrow little lane there he's trying to fit himself through.
Speaker 112 I'm not sure exactly.
Speaker 3 But how do we choose the truth over a fact?
Speaker 142 Something that's true. Right.
Speaker 198 Over something not factual.
Speaker 71 Hmm.
Speaker 18 Is there such a thing?
Speaker 30 We'll have to sort that one out.
Speaker 138 I don't know if we'll have time to sort it out, though, because we have to go through his long list of accomplishments as vice president first.
Speaker 41 Okay. Now, this is a guy who, with Obama worked to get incredible things done,
Speaker 199 massive things
Speaker 196 that would just change the dynamic of our entire world, Pat.
Speaker 26 So he was asked about his number one accomplishment as vice president, and this is what he came up with.
Speaker 179 Say again, I'm sorry.
Speaker 50 Your administration had eight years in China. Well, I tell you what,
Speaker 179 we did an awful lot with China. And what we did with China, first of all, was we got them to join the Paris Peace Accord, the Climate Accord.
Speaker 179 We got them to change their direction, and a number of areas in terms of foreign policy.
Speaker 71 Wow.
Speaker 134 The Paris Accord that we're no longer a part of?
Speaker 12 And not only that, the Paris Accord that does absolutely nothing?
Speaker 69 Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 14 Yeah, but climate denier Al Gore, listen to what he said about Paris.
Speaker 200 Even if all 195 nations on 194 met their targets, it still wouldn't solve the problem.
Speaker 200 That is correct. Heck, however, it sends a very powerful signal.
Speaker 6 Okay.
Speaker 55 That is correct.
Speaker 15 However,
Speaker 125 it sends a very
Speaker 114 powerful signal.
Speaker 25 Okay, so we're just sending signals now for trillions of dollars.
Speaker 9 Trillions of stuff.
Speaker 194 You could throw a good party with trillions of dollars and
Speaker 38 a nice signal.
Speaker 50 Which is both of those are worth it, I'm sure.
Speaker 144 You know, it's interesting because the Paris Climate Accord, if fully implemented and fully followed, which is a standard that does not exist.
Speaker 143 These things never occur.
Speaker 144 You do not fully follow a climate treaty.
Speaker 54 It's never been done.
Speaker 123 It's just not what you do
Speaker 122 because these countries, some of it is,
Speaker 27 absolutely trying their best and failing.
Speaker 73 Some of it is, in the case of places like China, well, you just say you're hitting these goals and don't.
Speaker 118 How does anyone know?
Speaker 119 You're saying, well, yeah, we're going to turn off all the fossil fuel factories.
Speaker 189 We've got a new system going on.
Speaker 115 Less emissions.
Speaker 117 People aren't going to know.
Speaker 77 It's not until much later on that they figure out how much carbon you've released.
Speaker 146 It's an invisible gas, difficult to deal with on an international level.
Speaker 73 So the way this Paris Climate Accord worked was to limit all of these emissions for each country
Speaker 73 with these things called INDCs.
Speaker 97 Now, NDC stands for Nationally Determined Contributions.
Speaker 64 How many
Speaker 28 tons of CO2 and other warming gases have you released?
Speaker 59 What are your emissions?
Speaker 37 NDC.
Speaker 58 The I in that is intended.
Speaker 187 So legitimately, it is based on something called intended nationally determined contributions.
Speaker 118 This is what we intend to do.
Speaker 49 That is what the treaty is about, intentions.
Speaker 113 Now, it doesn't bind anybody. It doesn't hold anybody to anything.
Speaker 186 It's just, we think we'll do around here.
Speaker 189 This is about the level that we think we'll do, if fully implemented with people who got into this telling you, not that we're going to do these things, but we just intend to do these things.
Speaker 100 If you got all of it done by the year 2100, if all the science is right and everyone were to participate, it would go from,
Speaker 56 we would supposedly save 0.05 degrees Celsius, which means instead of the Earth warming as much as, let's say, 4.5 degrees, it would be 4.45 degrees.
Speaker 84 That is legitimately what the Paris Accord does, which is nothing.
Speaker 151 I mean, it would make absolutely no difference.
Speaker 57 You'd delay global warming by a few years if all of these countries came together and blew up their economies like they would for the Paris Climate Accord.
Speaker 89 Not worth it.
Speaker 187 This is not something that is.
Speaker 7 What about the powerful signal
Speaker 198 it sends?
Speaker 3 What about that?
Speaker 84 What about the powerful signal?
Speaker 106 And that is really what they're doing, right?
Speaker 147 Yeah, they're sending a signal.
Speaker 3 Look, we intend to do something.
Speaker 6 We'd like to do something.
Speaker 18 Yeah.
Speaker 13 We're just not doing anything because there's really,
Speaker 127 I think even they know deep down, we can't control the climate.
Speaker 82 No.
Speaker 49 Try as we may, we can't control it. We can't,
Speaker 51 it's, it's, it's lunacy.
Speaker 9 It's lunacy.
Speaker 60 So they have the, what they say is we have to, we must stop Pat.
Speaker 158 You know, within 12 years, this is going to be irreversible.
Speaker 25 Unless you're beto, then it's 10.
Speaker 69 Then it's 10. Yeah.
Speaker 139 And by the way, the, of that particular study, which is a different study, but that particular study, the authors of it said no.
Speaker 143 That is not what we're saying.
Speaker 122 We're not saying it's 10 years.
Speaker 97 We're not saying it's 12 years.
Speaker 23 That is not what the study says.
Speaker 49 Thank you for asking us so that we can keep people stopped saying it.
Speaker 84 And then I heard Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 202 Heard Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan the other day saying it again.
Speaker 187 They're still saying it.
Speaker 116 The scientists from the study have fact-checked this and said it's not true.
Speaker 84 And all these candidates are still saying it.
Speaker 22 But the Paris Accord, as implemented, would save 33 gigatons,
Speaker 73 33 gigatons of CO2.
Speaker 69 Okay, well, that sounds like a lot.
Speaker 15 Sounds like a lot. A lot.
Speaker 140 How much would you need to stop global warming and all these horrible effects?
Speaker 29 Just the worst effects.
Speaker 41 That wouldn't stop global warming.
Speaker 33 What are the worst effects?
Speaker 39 You'd have to save 3,066 gigatons.
Speaker 85 So if you'll notice there, it's a higher number.
Speaker 18 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 70 The gigatons they are saving or intend to save is lower than the necessary saving.
Speaker 71 Yes.
Speaker 18 So their promises are one one-hundredth of what they say is necessary.
Speaker 204 And that's just their promises.
Speaker 189 So that is how ridiculous this is.
Speaker 118 And it would make no difference.
Speaker 18 No difference at all.
Speaker 90 Yet that is his biggest accomplishment as vice president.
Speaker 49 Class Joe.
Speaker 15 That is terrific.
Speaker 117 And it's something that was immediately reversed when he lost an election.
Speaker 115 The next guy came in and was like, nah.
Speaker 115 That's not an accomplishment.
Speaker 189 Nothing was accomplished with this treaty.
Speaker 151 Even if they stayed in it, nothing would be accomplished, but they couldn't even stay in it.
Speaker 58 This is how bad, I mean, he really doesn't have a record.
Speaker 28 That's why he keeps saying Obama every five minutes.
Speaker 27 And can we bring this up one more time, Pat?
Speaker 104 Joe Biden was selected, hand-picked as
Speaker 43 the second best person in America to be president by Barack Obama.
Speaker 185 Okay?
Speaker 116 Picking a vice president is not just something.
Speaker 106 Oh, I wanted to win Delaware really badly.
Speaker 207 He picked Joe Biden because in his mind, this guy was the second best person behind himself to be president of the United States.
Speaker 118 Now they're on the debate stage.
Speaker 131 All of these candidates are attacking Barack Obama's record and saying, you suck, you suck, you suck.
Speaker 206 The only person standing up for him is Joe Biden, and Barack Obama still won't endorse him.
Speaker 182 Think about that statement.
Speaker 3 Well,
Speaker 69 Joe asked him not to.
Speaker 44 In all fairness, too.
Speaker 125 Joe really thought it'd be unfair to the rest of the field to get the endorsement for Barack Obama.
Speaker 199 He asked him not to.
Speaker 113 Would that not be something you'd be interested in, making it unfair for the rest of the field if you believed this guy was the second best man to be president in the United States?
Speaker 118 Yes.
Speaker 39 You'd want that to be the case, right?
Speaker 76 Yes.
Speaker 117 You'd want him to win because you think he's really good.
Speaker 115 And not to mention, he's the only person defending your record.
Speaker 161 And Obama's still silent on it.
Speaker 170 I mean, that is a hell of a statement.
Speaker 118 I don't know if he thinks, it makes me honestly think that
Speaker 45 Obama knows something about Biden that we don't.
Speaker 167 Whether it's performance level,
Speaker 73 whether it is,
Speaker 95 you know,
Speaker 118 something
Speaker 46 said
Speaker 56 potentially.
Speaker 163 I mean, or just something he says, an attitude he had behind the scenes that he wasn't aware of initially.
Speaker 115 I don't know what it is, but that is a devastating thing.
Speaker 194 You're telling me George W.
Speaker 150 Bush doesn't endorse Dick Cheney if he runs for president?
Speaker 159 Of course he does.
Speaker 146 Listen immediately.
Speaker 37 I mean, I, I, you know, and look, I can understand at some level saying, well, you're going to hold off.
Speaker 174 It's a big primary, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 164 But, like,
Speaker 95 the way this has played out, I heard, I was listening to ABC News today, and it is so prominent now that ABC News this morning says, and, you know, Joe Biden,
Speaker 27 Joe Biden was with Barack Obama, and Barack Obama was known as the deporter-in-chief, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 18 What are you talking about?
Speaker 150 He was not known as the deporter-in-chief.
Speaker 177 Not when he was president.
Speaker 115 This is something that's coming around right now.
Speaker 105 Like, we really, I was actually thinking, I would love to do, I was hosting the TV show the last couple of weeks, but if I had another, if I had more time to do it, I'm doing it next week as well.
Speaker 97 I'm not, Glenn is back.
Speaker 117 But I think I would do a monologue in defense of Barack Obama.
Speaker 118 And just like, let me tell you,
Speaker 194 let me tell you, Democrats, I'm going to defend him here.
Speaker 146 He actually sucked on the border.
Speaker 118 So don't worry about it.
Speaker 117 He was not good.
Speaker 77 Yes, he deported a bunch of criminal aliens, and his numbers were high in that one regard, but he was not good on the border.
Speaker 47 Don't worry, plenty of illegal immigrants came across.
Speaker 49 The main reason those numbers were lower is because the economy was so bad, largely due to his presidency, and what, of course, what led into it, but why it was so bad for so long was because of the way he handled it.
Speaker 151 And that led to people not really wanting to come all that badly here.
Speaker 189 So yes, some of those numbers went down, but don't worry.
Speaker 50 He was really cool about letting everybody come across the border.
Speaker 47 Don't bash this guy.
Speaker 18 You love him.
Speaker 177 It's like they've lost all connection.
Speaker 24 It's Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
Speaker 125 Say what you will about Joe Biden.
Speaker 25 The guy is incredibly generous to the rest of the field.
Speaker 16 Who could forget his generosity?
Speaker 28 Why didn't President Obama endorse?
Speaker 179 I asked President Obama not to endorse.
Speaker 179 He doesn't want
Speaker 191 to.
Speaker 179 Whoever wins his nominations is winning on their own merits.
Speaker 71 Okay.
Speaker 125 All right. He asked him not to.
Speaker 11 It just, come on.
Speaker 10 It's not fair to say Elizabeth Warren, if Obama got into this, too, on my side.
Speaker 69 Right, because
Speaker 92 I wouldn't want to have an advantage in this competition to run the free world.
Speaker 31 I wouldn't want that.
Speaker 193 That's so ludicrous.
Speaker 22 That would be so wrong.
Speaker 143 And Barack was on his way.
Speaker 52 He's walking up to the podium and I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, Barack, don't do.
Speaker 15 No.
Speaker 24 Just on issues of fairness.
Speaker 181 Fairness.
Speaker 206 I want to spread the votes around. Yeah.
Speaker 79 People, you know, you've got a 95% approval rating among the Democratic voters right now.
Speaker 47 So why would I want your endorsement?
Speaker 163 Now, sure, you're at 99 among black voters, and it's not 99 to 1.
Speaker 146 It's literally 99 to 0 with 1% undecided.
Speaker 47 But
Speaker 18 I don't want your help.
Speaker 118 That would not be helpful to me at all.
Speaker 189 Now, I'm going to say your name.
Speaker 172 In every answer I give the entire campaign.
Speaker 175 I'm going to invoke your presidency and try to be on your coattails the whole time.
Speaker 118 But no, please don't tell everyone that I would be the best guy to continue your legacy.
Speaker 159 I mean, this is just absurd, of course.
Speaker 167 It would be game-changing.
Speaker 111 I said when I was watching the debate and they were all beating up on Obama's presidency, I was live tweeting the event.
Speaker 122 I was like, the best thing that could happen right now, I just want to see it happen, is
Speaker 199 Barack Obama sitting at home.
Speaker 77 And he's watching this, and they're all just attacking his Barack Obama's presidency.
Speaker 60 And Joe Biden's the only one up there defending him.
Speaker 23 Just in the one of the, they go to commercial, and Barack Obama tweets his endorsement.
Speaker 73 And they come back, and they've got to ask all these people, and see it on their faces that they realize that Obama has endorsed Joe Biden.
Speaker 46 Because I know to this audience, Obama's endorsement means nothing.
Speaker 33 It means I'm going to vote for somebody else.
Speaker 39 But to Democrats, the guy's God still.
Speaker 117 I mean, he still is.
Speaker 140 Now, he didn't go as socialist as they want today, but that's revisionist history.
Speaker 146 And that's largely from the political class.
Speaker 39 The average voter who is a Democrat sees Obama's presidency as very positive and sees it even more positively because they really don't like Trump.
Speaker 161 So, this guy, if Barack Obama were to come out and say, look, Joe Biden's the guy, he should be the next president of the United States.
Speaker 84 He's come over the edge, I think.
Speaker 26 It does. It probably does.
Speaker 139 Now, he could still screw it up.
Speaker 35 Joe is an expert at this, but it would put him up by another 10 points.
Speaker 97 That's a big endorsement in the Democratic primary.
Speaker 46 The fact that Joe acts as if he doesn't want it is absurd.
Speaker 106 If he didn't want it, he wouldn't be bringing his name up in every answer at every debate.
Speaker 152 Right.
Speaker 12 Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K, Patton Stu for Glenn.
Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 33 With Patton Stu, Pat Gray, Stuper Gear.
Speaker 14 You can check out Pat Gray Unleashed every weekday morning.
Speaker 16 It's on 6 to 8 Central, which is 7 to 9 Eastern.
Speaker 9 And then if you don't like to get up that early in the morning, you can listen to it anytime you want on a podcast, wherever you get those podcasts, like iTunes or SoundCloud, MySpace.
Speaker 63 There's a little bit too much urgency in your show.
Speaker 130 You're really covering the news of the day.
Speaker 92 I like to listen to podcasts from several months ago.
Speaker 106 Okay.
Speaker 18 Are those available?
Speaker 152 Yes. Okay.
Speaker 61 Yes, you can listen to those as well.
Speaker 161 I like to just know what's going on.
Speaker 95 What was the news of the day in April?
Speaker 18 Yeah, we have that.
Speaker 88
And we have that. That's available.
I can get that anytime.
Speaker 97 I just don't want to pay as much as I need to, probably.
Speaker 30 It's probably too expensive.
Speaker 20 How does
Speaker 69 $0 sound? Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 50
Very good. Yeah.
Very good.
Speaker 135 It's an incredible bargain.
Speaker 56 It's a good value.
Speaker 24 Yeah, normally that sells for $99, $95, $99.
Speaker 6 Really? Yeah.
Speaker 18 Wow.
Speaker 24 But now
Speaker 135 it's 100% off.
Speaker 52 Wow.
Speaker 95 Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, Pat.
Speaker 31 Limited time only, of course.
Speaker 58 I think you might want to raise those prices because I think you're about to be boycotted.
Speaker 34 Really? I do.
Speaker 172 I do.
Speaker 96 I've been hearing a lot about this.
Speaker 86 And my understanding is if you're a Republican, if you're a conservative, you need to be boycotted.
Speaker 140 If you voted for Donald Trump, especially.
Speaker 6 Well, because you're a white nationalist.
Speaker 134 Right.
Speaker 18 Right. Automatically.
Speaker 69 A racist and a white nationalist if you voted for Trump.
Speaker 39 That is what MSNBC is letting you know.
Speaker 27 And I mean, they're just one example, but this is an MSNBC analyst, Rick Stengel, talking about Trump supporters and whether you should boycott them or not.
Speaker 77 Okay.
Speaker 159 People boycotted apartheid products.
Speaker 213 Remember, years ago, you wouldn't buy stock or
Speaker 213 product from any company that supported apartheid South Africa. Why isn't there not that same thing with people who support Donald Trump and their products and their companies?
Speaker 213 And there has been with Equinox this past week. Great.
Speaker 44 Oh, God. I've got a lot of
Speaker 44 psycho fans.
Speaker 47 Why isn't there?
Speaker 199 Why is it the same thing, Pat?
Speaker 89 Can you think of, let me,
Speaker 77 I'm asking you this, honestly.
Speaker 21 You're a smart guy.
Speaker 86 You put a lot of thoughts in the thing.
Speaker 60 Can you think of one difference between 2019 America and apartheid South Africa?
Speaker 87 Is there any
Speaker 56 distinction
Speaker 57 you would make?
Speaker 177 Between those? Because
Speaker 113 I can think of one minor.
Speaker 3 Can you?
Speaker 15 Because I'm hard-pressed. I can't.
Speaker 76 Do you want me to give it to you?
Speaker 152 All right.
Speaker 97 Northern hemisphere, southern southern hemisphere.
Speaker 199 Okay, that's that's the only thing I could come up with.
Speaker 14 I should have found that one.
Speaker 84 You know, I mean, it's so close.
Speaker 146 Yeah.
Speaker 131 It's basically the same policies.
Speaker 139 As you know, black people are not allowed to be employed here in the United States.
Speaker 84 They're all separate.
Speaker 151 Now, some people would note that the black unemployment rate is as low as it's ever been in history. Some people would note that
Speaker 93 and say maybe that's not the same situation as apartheid.
Speaker 186 Maybe it's a little different.
Speaker 146 Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 117 Maybe stealing the land and and raising the people.
Speaker 210 And I mean, the destruction that went on in apartheid South Africa, a tad different.
Speaker 5 Isn't that the same guy who did the Nazi thing with him, too?
Speaker 164 Didn't he?
Speaker 5 Is that the same?
Speaker 164 Is it the same guy? I don't know.
Speaker 31 I think it is. I do remember that.
Speaker 49 What is this guy's name?
Speaker 51 Rick Stengel.
Speaker 9 Wow. Maybe it's a different guy.
Speaker 153 Yeah, that guy was...
Speaker 73 Was it Fig Liusi or something?
Speaker 42 Oh, yeah, yeah, that was a different guy.
Speaker 162 You're talking about the HH guy?
Speaker 173 Yes. He said because Donald Trump was putting the flag back up on August 8th, that meant that.
Speaker 50 He thought it had Heil Hitler significance.
Speaker 54 Yes, because 8-8 is H-H.
Speaker 43 H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so H-H equals Heil Hitler.
Speaker 27 Said this on national television, by the way.
Speaker 21 This is a point, a serious point made on national television.
Speaker 154 Just like this one. Just like this.
Speaker 18 It's apartheid.
Speaker 120 And it's amazing.
Speaker 97 What I find most amazing about it, though, is not that there's people who are a little bit unhinged when it comes to Donald Trump.
Speaker 111 We know that.
Speaker 97 It's not people who are unhinged coming against any Republican president.
Speaker 144 We know that happened.
Speaker 67 I mean, they used to call Bush Bush a terrorist every day on television.
Speaker 85 I mean, this is not new.
Speaker 164 What I'm fascinated about, though, is just the lack of ability to learn, to learn a very important lesson.
Speaker 201 Arguably, Hillary Clinton is not president of the United States because she made a statement about the Donald Trump supporters being a basket of deplorables.
Speaker 97 You, of course, remember this because it was one of the biggest things in the entire campaign.
Speaker 112 And everyone went around and said, we're the deplorables.
Speaker 58 And it became a rallying cry.
Speaker 167 And remember, this election turned on three states and about 70,000 votes.
Speaker 163 So this is not something that needed to be,
Speaker 118 you know, to take over the entire election.
Speaker 138 It was a very close election.
Speaker 101 And,
Speaker 30 you know, I think you could make a sensible argument that that moment for Hillary cost her the election.
Speaker 80 You can't exactly tie it scientifically.
Speaker 27 Of course, you're never going to be able to pull it up.
Speaker 106 But I mean, 70,000 votes was not a lot to move on a statement that well well publicized.
Speaker 37 Now, to go back to 2016 for a second, you can make a really legitimate case that what Hillary Clinton said was true.
Speaker 194 And actually, you can make a case that what she said about deplorables is true about every candidate that has ever run a race.
Speaker 159 In every single instance, every candidate has followers who are, you would put in the category of, I'm proud to have those followers.
Speaker 113 And you'd put some in the category of, I mean, I'm glad they're voting for me, but I really don't want to be associated with them.
Speaker 19 Right.
Speaker 110 And all Hillary Clinton was doing was saying, look, there is a basket of deplorables, these awful people that actually are racist and all these things, and we're not never going to get them.
Speaker 56 But there are a lot of other people in the Republican Party who we can get to vote for me.
Speaker 114 Right.
Speaker 188 There are a lot of those people who are open to voting for us because they don't like the way Donald Trump acts or they just are moderates or whatever it is.
Speaker 26 Like the way she stated it was really bad, and I think it may very well have cost her her the election.
Speaker 150 However, the actual context of that statement, while she exaggerated it, is largely true. And it's largely true with every single candidate.
Speaker 206 What have they done to learn from that moment, though?
Speaker 131 They now are saying there is no exception.
Speaker 56 Everyone who votes for Donald Trump, who is a Republican, is a racist.
Speaker 194 Everyone should be boycotted.
Speaker 172 Everyone should be vilified.
Speaker 114 Instead of saying a slice of them are bad, which is what Hillary said, they're now saying all of them are bad.
Speaker 189 They have just tripled and quadrupled down on the strategy that lost them the last election.
Speaker 182 And they continue to do it day after day after day.
Speaker 207 If there was a book, a tell-all that came out after this election, and we found out that Democrats were doing everything they could do to lose by as much as possible, I would believe that it was actually accurate.
Speaker 113 It's fascinating the way they are handling this.
Speaker 109 They're going as socialist as they can.
Speaker 208 They're vilifying every voter that could possibly come
Speaker 77 into their pocket.
Speaker 150 They are just, they are trying to to lose this and they may very well do it.
Speaker 154 Let's hope so

Speaker 123 888-727-BEC is the phone number of Pat and Stu in for Glenn.
Speaker 34 Glenn is back on Monday, by the way.
Speaker 66 So get excited.
Speaker 39 There is a
Speaker 20 A story that kind of would tie into what we were just talking about, about the deplorables, but it is being, I think, completely, completely misrepresented to the American people and largely by conservative audiences and conservative media right now.
Speaker 77 There's a new movie coming out called The Hunt.
Speaker 130 Now, if you saw, if you watch the Democratic Debates, they ran a bunch of ads in the Democratic debates for this movie, The Hunt.
Speaker 76 And
Speaker 169 when I saw them, I was like, oh, I'm in.
Speaker 82 I can't wait to see this.
Speaker 84 Now, I like these types of movies.
Speaker 58 It is a movie about essentially people kind of wake up in a field and realize they're being hunted by some other people.
Speaker 122 And it's, you know, the way they kind of
Speaker 169 explain it is it comes off, the previews are great.
Speaker 81 They're just like,
Speaker 81 it looks like you need to get away to an upscale experience where it is like a hunting lodge.
Speaker 75 It's like a commercial for a hunting lodge. And then you realize about halfway through that they're hunting actual people.
Speaker 65 You know, so it's a horror movie and pretty intense.
Speaker 83 It comes from Blumhouse, which is, you know, they've made a lot of the big horror movies over the past, you know, five to ten years.
Speaker 16 And they usually make a lot of money.
Speaker 9 They make a lot of money. They cost very little and then make a lot.
Speaker 50 Yeah.
Speaker 64 And they've had some, you know, some of their movies have been up for Best Picture.
Speaker 86 I mean, they've had some real success, and they've told great stories.
Speaker 43 The issue here, though, is that people...
Speaker 112 And you don't get this from the previews, but the reporting about the movie, they are saying that essentially what happens is the people in the field being hunted
Speaker 171 were called in the movie Deplorables, and they appear to be essentially red staters of some sort.
Speaker 73 I don't know that it's specific to Trump, but it's some sort of like, you know, red staters, and they're being hunted by like liberals.
Speaker 81 And this is apparently like
Speaker 150 apparently to somebody, I don't know who, but apparently to somebody, this is offensive on the conservative side.
Speaker 54 And because they're saying, well, these people are being hunted, they're going,
Speaker 84 this is a bad message to send.
Speaker 64 Now, there's been some controversy about the movie because, in the wake of, you know, the shootings and all of this, sometimes these things get rescheduled.
Speaker 161 Some places have pulled ads for the movie because, you know, it's obviously a violent storyline.
Speaker 143 And this happens, it's happened a million times in the past.
Speaker 41 I mean, I can remember Arlington Road.
Speaker 58 You remember that movie, Arlington Road?
Speaker 28 Had Tim Robbins in it?
Speaker 215 It was in the mid-90s, was supposed to come out, I want to say it was a week or two, maybe it was a month or two after Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma City bombing.
Speaker 214 And it was a movie about a white terrorist who was kind of Timothy McVeigh-ish,
Speaker 59 who was, you know,
Speaker 141 setting off bombs and such.
Speaker 169 And people were like, I don't know if we want to release this right after, and they wound up delaying it, and it came out later.
Speaker 96 So this stuff does happen.
Speaker 31 And
Speaker 132 there's nothing you can do if you're a movie company, right?
Speaker 188 You can't predict the news.
Speaker 65 But what I keep coming back to, and I just don't understand how
Speaker 57 you could look at it any other way, is that I don't know if there's ever been a movie in history in which this setup is the same.
Speaker 56 Let's say that there is a bunch of really rich, evil people that kidnap a bunch of people, throw them into a field, and start hunting them.
Speaker 132 Who is the good guy in this situation?
Speaker 49 It's not the leaders in the field.
Speaker 182 Right, exactly.
Speaker 131 This is a movie that I think quite clearly is set up that the Red State team is the good team.
Speaker 199 The other people have kidnapped them.
Speaker 89 They've drugged them.
Speaker 189 They've left them in a field and have started firing without explanation at them in the field.
Speaker 131 This is not a movie that is set up to vilify the right.
Speaker 194 This is a movie in which you have to imagine the right is the hero of the movie.
Speaker 118 Yes. The people in the field are the ones.
Speaker 113 You would think so, yeah.
Speaker 116 I mean, I can't imagine.
Speaker 39 You know, it's a five-second movie. It opens up.
Speaker 114
They're in the field. They all fire at them.
They're all dead and it's over.
Speaker 121 Like, that's not a movie.
Speaker 204 And again, this comes from Blumhouse.
Speaker 23 This is the same company that produced the movie Get Out.
Speaker 143 Now, Get Out was, I believe, nominated for Best Picture and a bunch of other things.
Speaker 56 But if you ever saw that movie, it is a movie quite clearly about white liberals and their racism.
Speaker 132 That is what the movie is about.
Speaker 151 It is the topic of the movie.
Speaker 168 And, you know,
Speaker 206 in there, the most evil people in the movie who are trying to do really bad things to black people, at one point, they actually say
Speaker 151 he defends his racism.
Speaker 23 This is a guy who's, you know, basically murdering African Americans.
Speaker 56 Defends his racism
Speaker 184 by saying, well, but I voted for Obama.
Speaker 189 Now, I'm not saying that Blumhouse is some right-wing outfit.
Speaker 21 It's not.
Speaker 187 But they are willing to chase a good story no matter what when it comes to politics.
Speaker 45 That's what they will do.
Speaker 146 And they've shown this over and over again.
Speaker 21 Like, it's a really interesting concept for a movie.
Speaker 160 It's ballsy.
Speaker 56 And I mean, the idea, though, that conservatives would be the one complaining about it.
Speaker 26 Exactly.
Speaker 39 I would expect liberals to be pissed off at that concept, not conservatives.
Speaker 116 I mean, unless the movie takes a really strange twist, I can't imagine the people in the field getting shot at or the bad guys.
Speaker 58 That's way beyond M.
Speaker 27 Night Shyamalan when it comes to the twist.
Speaker 47 You know what?
Speaker 118 The liberals, with all the millions of dollars that kidnapped people, they were doing the right thing.
Speaker 47 Innocent women in a field.
Speaker 186 Ah, that was right. The end.
Speaker 53 Vote, Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 49 I don't think that's how this ends.

Speaker 125 It's Pat and Stu for Glenbeck, 888727 B E C K.
Speaker 14 Let's go to Kevin in Ohio.
Speaker 50 Hey, Kevin, you're on the Glenbeck program. Hi.
Speaker 156 Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 209 Hey, Stu's absolutely right. This is President Trump's Read My Lips: No New Taxes moment.
Speaker 209 And I would never vote for a socialist Democrat or a Communist Democrat, but I will stay at home. Let the people have the government they deserve.
Speaker 209 I tell you what makes absolutely no sense to me is you've,
Speaker 209 under these red flag laws, you've supposedly identified somebody who's a danger to himself or others. So much so, you're willing to force your way into his home and take his firearms.
Speaker 209 But yet, you're going to leave the individual who's a danger to himself or others to roam free.
Speaker 209 How ridiculous is that? You're arresting the gun, but you're going to leave the problem to roam.
Speaker 40 And that's a great point, too, especially when it comes to being a danger to himself.
Speaker 71 I mean,
Speaker 57 you know, you don't, you need a bottle of pills, right, if you're a danger to yourself.
Speaker 67 You need a rope if you're a danger to yourself.
Speaker 18 If they're that big of a danger, the gun is a very small part of the concern.
Speaker 97 As we pointed out a million times, I mean, many of these countries, Russia, for example, has one-tenth the gun ownership rate that we have, and yet its suicide and homicide rate are more than double ours.
Speaker 18 Why?
Speaker 93 Somehow they're figuring out a way to kill people and themselves, usually with something like polonium-212 or whatever it was.
Speaker 115 Sometimes it's very strange nuclear items, but other times it's just, you know, good old-fashioned normal killings that happened long before there were guns and it will happen long after
Speaker 164 we're all dead.
Speaker 115 That's the way that works.
Speaker 132 You can kill yourself.
Speaker 23 You can kill others without guns.
Speaker 175 That's a great point because you, especially when you're talking about leaving someone,
Speaker 21 think about this moment for a second.
Speaker 40 You're in a situation where you're a danger to yourself.
Speaker 92 Someone comes in and says, look, you're a danger to yourself.
Speaker 40 We're taking your guns away.
Speaker 97 They leave the house.
Speaker 92 The house is now silent. You're sitting there.
Speaker 30 And now you realize that not only...
Speaker 106 Are you depressed and a danger to yourself, but now everyone knows it.
Speaker 122 The police know it.
Speaker 21 Someone's reporting you.
Speaker 188 People around you are talking about you behind your back.
Speaker 150 You're in a much worse space than you were just five minutes earlier.
Speaker 35 That is not a good formula.
Speaker 33 Not a formula for success there. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 24 Mark in Ohio.
Speaker 18 Hi, if you're on the Klimbeck program.
Speaker 209 Good morning.
Speaker 156 Good morning, kids.
Speaker 209 I just wanted to explain the Joe Biden situation.
Speaker 209 I think it's very well explained by a song by legendary jazz artist Moz Allison. And his song called Your Mind Is On Vacation and Your Mouth is Working Overtime.
Speaker 169 That could be the Joe Biden campaign slogan.
Speaker 152 I would agree.
Speaker 102 I don't know if I can go too deep in the catalog of Moe's,
Speaker 63 but that one definitely works.
Speaker 125 You don't have the entire works of Moe Z Ellison?
Speaker 18
I don't. Huh.
Weird.
Speaker 152
I don't. All right.
Thanks, Mark.
Speaker 12 Yeah, that was quite a musical reference.
Speaker 154 It was, but it's, I mean, it's a first.
Speaker 13 But yeah, the song seems pretty appropriate.
Speaker 153 Because, yeah, the guy, I mean, and it's getting worse with him, as we mentioned last last hour.
Speaker 10 Biden's getting worse every day.
Speaker 16 Middle-class Joe is breaking down a little bit. Something's going on there.
Speaker 162 Yeah, because you have,
Speaker 110 when you go into a big
Speaker 106 clutch moment, right,
Speaker 78 you know, you have a little rust if you haven't been there in a while.
Speaker 29 And this was shown, I think, pretty well with Barack Obama in his first debate with Mitt Romney.
Speaker 152 He came out of the gate.
Speaker 50 you know, rusty.
Speaker 47 Yeah. I mean, he got destroyed
Speaker 144 by Romney in that first debate.
Speaker 89 And it looked looked like, for the first time, I think, wait a minute, Romney might actually win this thing.
Speaker 98 Except in the next debate, he took his foot completely off the gas and slammed on the brakes.
Speaker 9 Same thing in the third debate.
Speaker 76 Right.
Speaker 109 I mean, he was bad in the next two.
Speaker 195 So, I mean, it didn't wind up making a big difference.
Speaker 176 But that first debate was, it took Obama a minute to remember what it was like to be in battle.
Speaker 77 Yeah. Right.
Speaker 97 Because he had been, you know, he's, he's, yes, he's arguing with talk show hosts and, you know, he has some problems with senators here and there, but it's a different job.
Speaker 165 You know, like, governing is different than running a campaign.
Speaker 149 And so getting in front of that crowd is a big deal.
Speaker 188 I mean, you remember, you know, like Jordan coming back from playing basketball or from baseball.
Speaker 65 You know, like he had some spectacular games, but it took a while to shake off the rust.
Speaker 199 Now, Joe Biden,
Speaker 111 you know, there's very little comparison to Michael Jordan when it comes to Joe Biden.
Speaker 42 Like none?
Speaker 118 Like, he wasn't good at this before.
Speaker 84 No.
Speaker 39 So now he comes back, he has this really bad debate, and you say, was that the same situation as, you know, Obama-Romney won, where he's shaking off rust and he's going to get better?
Speaker 73 He was, I would say, a little better in debate number two, but the rust is not going away.
Speaker 201 And this is a guy who made these mistakes before when he was sharp.
Speaker 150 This is a tough road.
Speaker 206 I mean, he very well, and we said this from the beginning, very well might not make it through this.
Speaker 33 There's a really long way to go.
Speaker 11 And, you know, we look at some of the candidates at zero or one, two percent, and we think,
Speaker 11 why are they even in this?
Speaker 99 But then you forget, at about this time in the campaign, that's where Bill Clinton was.
Speaker 69 He was at 2%.
Speaker 33 Was he really?
Speaker 74 Yeah. I didn't realize it was that.
Speaker 9 Yeah, I think it was like a year and a half before the election.
Speaker 14 He was right around two
Speaker 6 and just came storming out.
Speaker 99 And so it could happen again.
Speaker 58 Again, you know, I can't remember the exact date, but I mean, this in the campaign cycle of 2016, Trump had basically just announced.
Speaker 56 If you go back to 2016, that's about where we were.
Speaker 102 I think he had been, I think he announced in July.
Speaker 30 I think it was July.
Speaker 64 He announced it.
Speaker 159 Seems like, yeah.
Speaker 58 Could have been June, but it was not.
Speaker 31 I don't think it was earlier than that.
Speaker 106 It's one of those things where
Speaker 143 this feels like it's going on forever, but we're still early here.
Speaker 58 Very. And, you know,
Speaker 181 the first,
Speaker 163 you know, Iowa comes up after the new year.
Speaker 29 So you have right now from August to the end of the year where you have a couple of debates mixed in.
Speaker 27 You have a couple of big things, but no voting.
Speaker 46 So you're going to go all the way past Christmas to the end of the year.
Speaker 139 We'll come back from that break, and that's when election season starts.
Speaker 102 Not campaigning, not running, not debating any of that.
Speaker 212 Votes are going to be cast in weeks, and that's where this thing gets decided.
Speaker 91 But that's a long, long time from now still.
Speaker 33 It's Patton Stew for Glenn.
Speaker 9 What a country we live in.
Speaker 25 Just a hateful, nasty, racist, xenophobic country where, you know, sometimes people who just happen to come here in a non-documented way
Speaker 51 get scooped up in this powerful machine and then churned out and spit out and spewed all over the ground.
Speaker 158 I didn't realize that working to support your family was a crime.
Speaker 111 I didn't know that humans could be illegal.
Speaker 126 Illegal.
Speaker 6 No human can be illegal.
Speaker 40 In Trump's America,
Speaker 145 you're darn right that can happen.
Speaker 30 Right.
Speaker 111 Because, you know, never before had a president deported a person.
Speaker 152 Well, and that now
Speaker 24 a few times, but still.
Speaker 30 those times
Speaker 9 just those two things.
Speaker 61 Different.
Speaker 98 Yeah, because it wasn't this guy doing it.
Speaker 12 Right.
Speaker 125 This guy does it in a hateful way.
Speaker 40 So they have the biggest single state immigration enforcement action in U.S.
Speaker 73 history that goes on the other day.
Speaker 151 680 people
Speaker 71 are
Speaker 186 rounded up at food processing plants and basically arrested for being a human being.
Speaker 57 trying to feed their families trying to feed their families
Speaker 163 and you know this is shown as like this is look at this proves how bad of a guy trump is it shows how hateful u.s immigration policy is and it's fascinating to look at it because already now we are two days since this occurred already half of the people have been just released half of them have already been released
Speaker 94 not deported not deported just released back into the country to do what they were doing yeah why because well you know they're saying well you you know, they have children.
Speaker 23 They need to take care of their children.
Speaker 145 They have medical concerns.
Speaker 78 They have, you know, there's a hundred different reasons why they're being
Speaker 73 released.
Speaker 116 But, like, this is the most intense action in U.S.
Speaker 47 history.
Speaker 208 Already, two days later, half of them have already been released.
Speaker 168 And, you know,
Speaker 150 there's a question here of
Speaker 146 how these things occur.
Speaker 105 A lot of times, I feel like justifiable actions by the Trump administration are not
Speaker 208 executed properly.
Speaker 83 They can be a little sloppy.
Speaker 141 I mean, this happened a lot more when people like Steve Bannon were around.
Speaker 97 And Steve Bannon would come into the office one day and just belch out an executive order.
Speaker 23 And it would be like he'd drink too much root beer and he'd burp out an executive order.
Speaker 97 And then all of a sudden it would just go into effect.
Speaker 172 And people who were like in charge of
Speaker 121 enforcing it are sitting around going, I never even heard word one about this.
Speaker 58 What's going on?
Speaker 161 And there'd be chaos.
Speaker 97 And it hurt a lot of those early days of the Trump administration because people like Bannon were so incompetent.
Speaker 75 And of course, obviously, Trump became wildly aware of that, which is why they don't chat all that much these days.
Speaker 141 You know, Bannon was out for himself, and I think everybody now knows that.
Speaker 89 But you look at this and you say, you know, if you're going to release people who need to go home to their families or have medical situations or whatever it is, why don't you know that half of them are under this circumstance before the raid?
Speaker 27 So that you're not necessarily arresting 680.
Speaker 42 You're arresting the,
Speaker 56 you know, whatever it is.
Speaker 86 You know, or you have, yes.
Speaker 161 You have a way to deal with these situations rather than just because I mean, arresting them and releasing them, what does this do?
Speaker 25 Waste time. It wastes time.
Speaker 146 It alerts them. Yeah.
Speaker 144 You know, they can now go to another area, right?
Speaker 77 Just take their family, go to another area of the country and pick up another job and go to another food processing plant, right?
Speaker 58 I do think that the end game of this, you know, look, rounding up illegal immigrants that that have committed a crime.
Speaker 161 This is not just rounding up people because humans are illegal.
Speaker 146 These are people that have committed crimes.
Speaker 60 In fact, the first thing they did in this nation, the very first step they took, was a criminal action.
Speaker 187 That is something that should not just be dismissed.
Speaker 113 We do, whether you like the law or not,
Speaker 171 you need to make sure you follow it.
Speaker 39 I will tell you this.
Speaker 84 There's one law that I really, really super duper don't like.
Speaker 117 And I would really, really like to not participate in it.
Speaker 57 I'd love to avoid it completely.
Speaker 93 It's called the income tax.
Speaker 89 Not a fan of it.
Speaker 28 Would like to not pay it.
Speaker 50 Do pay it, though.
Speaker 164 Have to. I do.
Speaker 12 I think it sucks.
Speaker 10 Otherwise, you might be separated from your family.
Speaker 56 I might be separated from my family.
Speaker 134 Would they separate American citizens from their family?
Speaker 186 Yes, they do it all the time.
Speaker 53 Oh, wow. For crimes,
Speaker 21 for crimes all around the spectrum, serious ones and not so serious ones, they will separate you from your family.
Speaker 84 That is how our legal system works.
Speaker 122 And so
Speaker 149 I would say that the real target of these things should not necessarily be, though, the average person working at the plant.
Speaker 161 It's the people running the plant.
Speaker 39 We've got to make these people who are hiring hundreds. Look, hiring one illegal immigrant, hiring a few that you don't know about is one thing.
Speaker 64 Hiring 700 at a plant is not something that you're doing unintentionally.
Speaker 76 Like this is something when you're running your entire operation based on illegal immigrant labor, that is the much larger problem than any individual case.
Speaker 79 These companies do need to be punished for this stuff.
Speaker 61 Yeah,
Speaker 25 it's what I mean when I say
Speaker 5 we already have existing laws on the books to deal with a lot of these problems.
Speaker 61 We don't enforce U.S. law.
Speaker 15 So you need to secure the border.
Speaker 25 You need to enforce U.S.
Speaker 11 law.
Speaker 98 And just those two actions will take care of a lot of this.
Speaker 61 And one of those things that you have to enforce is
Speaker 4 employers hiring on purpose
Speaker 12 as part of their business plan, illegals, so they don't have to pay them as much.
Speaker 40 Um, they're just trying to get a deal, and they're just trying to get essentially indentured servants in their place of business.
Speaker 18 And it's wrong. Yeah.
Speaker 4 And we need to put a stop to that.
Speaker 40 What's fascinating about that is somehow the continuation of the indentured servitude is the compassionate side of the argument.
Speaker 58 Somehow, saying, you know what, we should pay a bunch of illegal immigrants below minimum wage and all these things.
Speaker 118 We say the living wage, remember that argument?
Speaker 46 It's going to be $15 an hour to these people.
Speaker 50 Right.
Speaker 47 But it's it's okay to pay illegal immigrants $3 an hour.
Speaker 56 Yeah.
Speaker 204 That's totally fine. That's compassionate.
Speaker 166 Right.
Speaker 150 It's really fascinating.
Speaker 39 Somehow they are able successfully to paint a side of the argument that says, yes, continue breaking laws as far as pay goes.
Speaker 45 Continue breaking laws as far as working conditions go.
Speaker 43 Continue breaking laws as far as immigration goes.
Speaker 57 And, you know, these people are living in the shadows.
Speaker 161 Continue to let them live in the shadows.
Speaker 195 That's the compassionate side of the argument.
Speaker 12 Yeah.
Speaker 11 So is the fact that we're not, oh, they don't.
Speaker 9 What do you mean they should learn English?
Speaker 18 Who are you to say what language?
Speaker 62 To get along, to get ahead.
Speaker 11 If they don't learn English, they will never, they'll always be doing what they're doing right now.
Speaker 125 They will never get ahead.
Speaker 152 They will always be at poverty level.
Speaker 135 And you're just encouraging that.
Speaker 5 There's nothing they can, if they don't learn the language in this country, they will never succeed in this country to the level that they could.
Speaker 18 They could achieve a lot here if they would learn the language.
Speaker 9 But Democrats know that
Speaker 69 they can keep them dependent upon them and their agenda.
Speaker 11 And that'll keep them in power
Speaker 9 if they can just encourage them to do a couple of things.
Speaker 11 Keep working in the jobs they're working in and keep speaking your native tongue.
Speaker 103 It's not that much, right?
Speaker 69 And they're the ones who are uncompassionate.
Speaker 60 My recommendation for the United States of America is that we should embrace the English language at least as much as the country of Belize.
Speaker 39 If we can just get to that level.
Speaker 4 What is it?
Speaker 5 What is it in Belize?
Speaker 113 Belize, the official language.
Speaker 73 The official language of Belize is English.
Speaker 154 So
Speaker 98 just period, just English, Spanish as well.
Speaker 96 Every sign, every document has English on it.
Speaker 113 Every place you go, you can read English.
Speaker 101 And
Speaker 49 why can Belize
Speaker 58 adopt the English language as their official language?
Speaker 188 And we can't.
Speaker 84 We can't be as British as Belize.
Speaker 115 I mean, that's
Speaker 199 a strange development.
Speaker 54 It's okay that people speak other languages, obviously.
Speaker 88 And there's no reason that we are a society that allows all sorts of different cultures, and we take the best parts from them to build our culture.
Speaker 23 That is really what our culture is.
Speaker 87 It's the best of everybody else.
Speaker 75 That's why we're so great.
Speaker 144 we're an all-star team okay that's what we are we take all the best things from everybody else and and and we combine it into the into the american experience it's great but like you have to have some standards and and make it easy now look in the united states pretty much it is the official language just the market has said that uh but it does it there is a it's so it's easy for us right it's easy for people who speak english it's not easy though for uh someone who is an immigrant here and let's just say a legal immigrant here to come here and say look i i want to participate in this system.
Speaker 171 And then we're told that it's hateful for them to learn the language that would help them participate in the system the best way possible.
Speaker 159 Exactly.
Speaker 23 There's nothing hateful about wanting people to do the best that they can.
Speaker 156 No.
Speaker 202 And that's what that, if you want to do the best that you can in this country,
Speaker 50 you have to learn English.
Speaker 210 Yeah.
Speaker 57 Unless you're, you know, and you're in little Havana, there are places where you can get away with speaking one language that is not English.
Speaker 75 for the rest of your life, probably.
Speaker 56 But it's very, it's their little pockets, and then you're forced to remain in that little pocket or you can't flourish.
Speaker 164 That's not okay.
Speaker 69 And when you turn it around,
Speaker 5 it's so easy to comprehend.
Speaker 16 If I went to Mexico, I'm not going to get ahead in Mexico unless I learn Spanish.
Speaker 15 If I go to Russia, I'm not going to, I'm going to flounder there until I learn Russian.
Speaker 51 I mean, it just makes sense.
Speaker 170 Yeah, and I will say this too:
Speaker 56 you probably can get away with it with English.
Speaker 132 Because English is
Speaker 34 coming in Europe, you could probably
Speaker 23 get away with it.
Speaker 161 I mean, if there is an official language of the world, it's probably English.
Speaker 101 Absolutely.
Speaker 58 And at least at this point.
Speaker 6 It's the language in which business is conducted.
Speaker 135 Exactly.
Speaker 97 It's just like the U.S. dollar is the standard.
Speaker 83 It's the same way with English.
Speaker 36 So you can get away with it in a lot of situations.
Speaker 173 That's not the case with every language.
Speaker 188 And it's very difficult, especially coming to the United States and trying to get to a point where you have to at least get proficient.
Speaker 93 You don't have to have mastery per se, but you have to be at least proficient.
Speaker 123 I mean, how many times have you talked to someone trying to do business with them and they can't understand the words you're saying in the language you're speaking?
Speaker 159 It's really frustrating.
Speaker 49 Imagine that's your everyday.
Speaker 143 I mean, there is legitimate compassion to have for people who come here and are trying to do their best, and at the same time, are being told by everybody on the left that they don't have to do any of these things that would actually improve their lives.
Speaker 194 It's like you're encouraging them to stay in their place.
Speaker 160 That's what the left does.
Speaker 9 That's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 152 Yes,
Speaker 11 that's what they do with minorities and that's what they do with immigrants who come here.
Speaker 125 And that's how they think they are going to maintain their power base.
Speaker 16 Pat, Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 9 Have you been following this story, Stu, about
Speaker 125 this guy, just a baseball fan, apparently, who, during a rain delay at a Rockies game last month, went down to their
Speaker 16 speed pitch challenge booth.
Speaker 24 It's got a radar gun in there.
Speaker 11 You can go down there and see how hard you throw.
Speaker 25 So he goes down there and starts throwing the ball, and
Speaker 61 his first pitch is 90 miles an hour, which is pretty impressive.
Speaker 50 Pretty good, yeah.
Speaker 33 I mean, the average run-of-the-mill person on the street probably throws about 50 or 60.
Speaker 122 Yeah, I mean, I've gone to those booths before, and you think you're throwing the ball hard, and you're like, it's like 68, 72.
Speaker 18 It's like, wow, that's like Little League Baseball.
Speaker 183 Come on, really?
Speaker 16 The next two.
Speaker 45 And then, by the way, your arm is sore for a month.
Speaker 18 Yeah, you better loosen up a little before you try to do that.
Speaker 50 For sure.
Speaker 153 But the next two pitches were 94 on his sixth pitch.
Speaker 5 His sixth and eighth pitches were 96 miles an hour.
Speaker 57 Now, did this guy know he was a really good pitcher or was it?
Speaker 24 It doesn't really, but I believe he did know, but one of his friends was taping him and they
Speaker 61 posted it.
Speaker 7 And two days later.
Speaker 96 It's like how everything happens these days.
Speaker 73 Yeah, you have to see.
Speaker 50 There has to be a viral video where you see the curse. Right.
Speaker 11 And it became a viral video.
Speaker 11 The Oakland Athletics just signed him to a minor league contract.
Speaker 9 That's incredible.
Speaker 122 I mean, yeah, if you can hit 96 without really even playing every day.
Speaker 10 At least a tryout.
Speaker 43 You got to be on. Yeah.
Speaker 88 I mean, if you want to play baseball.
Speaker 30 Now, look, minor league baseball, the life of a minor league baseball player is not one that you necessarily want to choose.
Speaker 18 It's hard, right?
Speaker 98 Yeah, you're taking buses.
Speaker 50 You're taking buses everywhere.
Speaker 11 The pay is not super great.
Speaker 198 No, it's not good at all.
Speaker 138 And so, and it's a tough life.
Speaker 85 You're staying in hotels.
Speaker 83 You're traveling a lot.
Speaker 99 But you work your way through and you get to the majors.
Speaker 193 That's big.
Speaker 11 Now, you know, you're set.
Speaker 97 You're set. If you get a big contract, you're set.
Speaker 111 But even, you know, even for, I mean, what is minimum salary around 500 grand at this point?
Speaker 30 I mean, even minimum salary is still a nice life. Yes.
Speaker 154 Very.
Speaker 125 So then this guy who runs a,
Speaker 125 what is the, oh, it's called Pitching Ninja.
Speaker 46 Oh, it's a great guy.
Speaker 138 If you like baseball, it's a great Twitter follow because he, you know, posts highlights of, you know, just great pitches, like incredible curveballs.
Speaker 26 He'll show you a guy's throwing 102 miles an hour, or he'll overlay a fastball and a curveball from the same pitcher, and you get to see how hard it is to actually hit.
Speaker 18 It's real, it's just a cool thing all about baseball.
Speaker 99 Yeah, um, last Thanksgiving, uh, pitching ninja posted a video of a guy, some pitcher in the independent leagues, so it's not part of MLB, right?
Speaker 30 Not associated with any major league team like normal minor league teams are.
Speaker 135 Guy's name was Tyler Grover, and he was throwing 100 miles an hour.
Speaker 14 100 miles an hour.
Speaker 16 And the Cincinnati Reds saw it and signed him almost immediately.
Speaker 9 It's just incredible.
Speaker 70 That's amazing. It is amazing.
Speaker 24 But if you can throw 100 miles an hour, you're a definite prospect for the major leagues.
Speaker 153 Certainly. As long as you can put it somewhere near the plate.
Speaker 27 Yeah, I mean, if you get professional instruction, and you might need another pitch or two.
Speaker 142 Sure.
Speaker 85 It doesn't guarantee you're in the majors, but
Speaker 23 it's a nice indicator.
Speaker 56 Yes, it is. It is a nice indicator.
Speaker 15 Because there's not a lot of human beings that can throw a ball 100 miles an hour.
Speaker 141 I'm also fascinated at this phenomenon of how things like YouTube
Speaker 30 make real life things happen.
Speaker 36 You know, it's like
Speaker 46 Bill Cosby is a great example of this.
Speaker 84 Bill Cosby
Speaker 118 was accused of rape a zillion times.
Speaker 47 Right.
Speaker 39 And he had cases about it.
Speaker 83 He had been accused.
Speaker 95 It had been in the news. And it was nothing.
Speaker 26 The guy was living out his ears.
Speaker 95 And then a comedian does a rant.
Speaker 84 It goes viral.
Speaker 175 And now the guy's in prison for the same time.
Speaker 49 And you're so the guy's tried and convicted.
Speaker 46 Like, I don't, yeah, I don't know if that's the right way for justice to happen, but it happens with so many things now.
Speaker 150 If you can get something to go viral, it changes your entire life, and people jump on the bandwagon.
Speaker 27 It really is fascinating.
Speaker 43 Sometimes, for good reasons, sometimes not so good, but you know, sometimes it ruins lives as well.
Speaker 139 Not Cosby, he deserved his life to be ruined, but you know, we've seen with people things like Covington, for example.
Speaker 84 There's bad outcomes and good outcomes, but it is a part of our society now.
Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 98 With Patton Stew for Glenn, 888727BECK,
Speaker 11 got a new study about sugar being the poison that it is.
Speaker 69 Well, it's, I mean, it's, it's a cancer poison or a poisoned cancer.
Speaker 10 It tastes good, but it's killing you dead.
Speaker 9 And you're going to drop over from it any minute now.
Speaker 7 That's basically, do I basically have it?
Speaker 18 You do.
Speaker 40 A small glass of juice or soft drink a day is linked to increased risk of cancer.
Speaker 85 In case you didn't know that, a small glass of juice or soda a day is linked to an increased risk of cancer.
Speaker 92 Study finds from the business.
Speaker 41 Is there anything not linked to an increased risk of cancer?
Speaker 6 Thank you. Everything is.
Speaker 135 Is there anything I can ingest that doesn't do that?
Speaker 45 This is like the...
Speaker 77 I don't think the answer to that is.
Speaker 66 I don't think there is anything that's safe.
Speaker 166 Like they had a
Speaker 130 one thing they do all the time is they'll be like, did you see that cell phones are linked to cancer?
Speaker 18 Brain cancer.
Speaker 111 Brain cancer.
Speaker 60 And they're like, the UN has said that it is possibly carcinogenic.
Speaker 77 And you're like, okay, well, that sounds pretty bad.
Speaker 97 Until you realize that the UN has, I think, tested 300 different substances through this program. And they have, how many have they decided are not carcinogenic?
Speaker 101 None.
Speaker 3 None.
Speaker 82 Literally not one of them.
Speaker 26 They have come up with
Speaker 82 300. Right.
Speaker 18 Wow. Because, I mean, who knows?
Speaker 187 At some dosage, right?
Speaker 131 Who knows?
Speaker 75 Like, things like pickled vegetables, for example, are possibly carcinogenic, according to the UN.
Speaker 110 It's like to that level.
Speaker 138 Every single thing that pops up is possibly carcinogenic.
Speaker 12 Now, what if I eat just raw kale?
Speaker 46 Raw kale.
Speaker 43 Well, that's possibly suicidal.
Speaker 100 You'll kill your sugar.
Speaker 50 You're right. You will kill your car.
Speaker 16 That's going to kill you just from the taste.
Speaker 104 Yes. I don't know if they've tested kale or not.
Speaker 9 I do have a really good recipe for kale.
Speaker 154 Okay.
Speaker 11 You put coconut oil in a pan, you know, and then.
Speaker 54 Some of these are really good, actually.
Speaker 70 How does it work?
Speaker 84 It's just like a drizzle?
Speaker 18 Yeah, like a drizzle.
Speaker 25 Yep. And then you just kind of swirl it around.
Speaker 50 Sure.
Speaker 174 And then you put the kale in the pan with the coconut oil.
Speaker 47 High heat?
Speaker 11 No, you don't even turn on the heat yet.
Speaker 192 Then you take the pan
Speaker 11 and you put it over a garbage can, and then the kale slides off right into the garbage really quickly.
Speaker 153 And it doesn't even stick to the pan at all because I put that oil in there.
Speaker 170 Because a lot of times I have that issue where the kale leaves are still on there.
Speaker 35 I got to wash it off.
Speaker 113 It takes a while.
Speaker 5 It's like icky because you have to touch them and stuff.
Speaker 61 You don't have to do this with my recipe.
Speaker 69 Oh, wow.
Speaker 50 So that works pretty well.
Speaker 144 I got to try that when I get home.
Speaker 23 Would you put that out on your Twitter feed, that recipe, just kind of so we can walk people through it?
Speaker 8 I think that would be really nice.
Speaker 131 Another one, cancer risks should not be sugar-coated.
Speaker 67 Do you see what they did there?
Speaker 54 Oh, wow. Do you see what they did there? I do.
Speaker 57 A new study points to a possible link between higher consumption of sugary drinks and increased risk of cancer.
Speaker 187 Then you get soda and fruit juice linked to cancer and major study of sugary drinks over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 143 If you saw these, if you have had hassles from family members that have now said you could never have another cookie or another glass of soda in your life.
Speaker 152 Or juice.
Speaker 3 Or juice.
Speaker 19 Yeah.
Speaker 8 Right.
Speaker 45 If this has happened to you, it's interesting to look a little bit deeper into what the study actually says because
Speaker 152 if you think political reporting sucks in this country, and I do, you wouldn't even imagine how much worse health and science reporting is.
Speaker 161 It is, because, you know, at least in political reporting, like if
Speaker 75 someone comes out and says something about Republicans, right, Republicans will at least fight back against it.
Speaker 97 They'll at least say, wait a minute, no, that's not true.
Speaker 84 Here's our argument.
Speaker 57 With health and science stuff, there's not really, like, you know, the only people who make any noise about this stuff are like the corporation that sells you the soda.
Speaker 46 Like, they're the only people who come out and say, wait a minute, actually, like, like, look at the study, and no one believes them, right?
Speaker 190 No one's going to believe them because they're the ones selling you the soda, and they think, oh, well, there's a profit motive there, and not these pure scientists that are just saying this.
Speaker 113 And I will say, largely, it's not even a problem with the scientists.
Speaker 40 A lot of times, I think we say, oh, the scientists give us these crazy studies.
Speaker 203 We always say this about like, oh, first it's butter is bad for you, then margarine is bad for you, and then it's none of it's bad for you, then all of it's bad for you.
Speaker 181 Well, what really is true about that is the reporting on those things suck.
Speaker 93 It's not the studies.
Speaker 97 Largely, it's the reporting on it that makes you the reporting presents it as if the study says butter was bad and now margarine is bad and now butter is good and now margarine is good.
Speaker 80 When you look at the actual studies, a lot of times what you find is it's very nuanced.
Speaker 39 It says things that probably are true.
Speaker 57 It doesn't make one of the two things the devil and the other thing God, like the reporting does.
Speaker 21 So we'll come back here in 60 seconds and we'll go through
Speaker 56 if your wife or your husband has said,
Speaker 57 hey, you can never have another glass of orange juice because you're going to die of cancer, we'll give you the truth here in 60 seconds.
Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 129 A good night's sleep is a must for any of us who have a crazy schedule. I toss and turn an awful lot.
Speaker 129
I have the right bed, but I thought I had the right pillow. Mike sent me a My Pillow, and it's an amazing thing.

Speaker 129 Remember, promo code BEC.
Speaker 63 So the study about sugar and cancer involved 100,000 people.
Speaker 143 They asked them a bunch of questions about
Speaker 82
the survey. It's a big one.
Yeah, it's a big one.
Speaker 103 It has some credibility to it.
Speaker 97 They monitored them for a decade. So 100,000 people in France monitored over a decade.
Speaker 6 That should be a solid study.
Speaker 98 Yeah.
Speaker 102 Now, it's an observational study, and observational studies are different than the highest levels of scientific study.
Speaker 73 Like when you have the blind studies and like there's sort of a hierarchy of scientific studies.
Speaker 18 Yeah, control group.
Speaker 3 Did they do all that or not?
Speaker 87 No, so this is an observational study.
Speaker 112 It's a
Speaker 81 basically we would say it's a lower quality study, though large.
Speaker 40 They split the people into the groups of how much sugar they drank, either from juice or sugar-sweetened beverages.
Speaker 134 This is just drinking sugar.
Speaker 9 This isn't ingesting sugar through like candy bars or cake or whatever.
Speaker 159 Which is a major thing.
Speaker 89 Yeah.
Speaker 105 If you happen to be a person who drinks a lot of water, but then nine slices of cake a day.
Speaker 20 That's me. Right.
Speaker 9 Well, not nine slices of cake.
Speaker 61 Or nine sales.
Speaker 10 There's going to be some pie in there, too.
Speaker 84 You want to spread it around among all baked groups.
Speaker 9 And we can't leave out ice cream.
Speaker 50 That'd be ridiculous.
Speaker 100 Ridiculous.
Speaker 48 So researchers found that people who drank more sugary beverages were about 20% higher risk of cancer, which is pretty significant, a 20% higher risk.
Speaker 84 They also found that drinking just a little bit of soda, like one bottle of Coke per week, could increase your risk of cancer.
Speaker 83 What? And this includes fruit.
Speaker 185 One Coke a week
Speaker 12 increases your risk of cancer.
Speaker 84 And you just click on the story.
Speaker 3 You're just a guy
Speaker 3 who ingests 15 a day or whatever.
Speaker 77 Randomly, are you saying this generally?
Speaker 50 Yeah, I'm just generally
Speaker 153 taking it a guy who might drink, let's say, Diet Coke.
Speaker 18 Okay, well, hold on.
Speaker 71 We'll get into that because
Speaker 150 what I'm fascinated is Pat just did the thing
Speaker 8 that people do with the meeting to why they write stories like this.
Speaker 18 Wait, just one soda?
Speaker 185 I'm going to get cancer?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 4 Click, share, it's retweet.
Speaker 208 And that's what happens and why they write the stories like this.
Speaker 55 And you're saying that's.
Speaker 46 Let me give you the actual perspective.
Speaker 189 And look, there there is something here, but let me tell you what it is.
Speaker 71 Okay.
Speaker 150 First of all, a few issues with the study.
Speaker 109 The first thing to notice: cancer isn't one disease.
Speaker 212 Cancer is a huge group of conditions that we lump together.
Speaker 97 They looked at a whole range of different cancers, including pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and bowel cancer.
Speaker 131 And while there was an increased risk from drinking sugar for all cancer, it was only true for one specific subtype, pre-menopausal breast cancer.
Speaker 114 So
Speaker 175 the idea being that every other type of cancer, it didn't show any increase at all.
Speaker 115 It only showed an increase in premenopausal breast cancer.
Speaker 119 Now, right off the bat, you think to yourself,
Speaker 119 you know, is it possible that drinking sugary drinks?
Speaker 24 And I'm thinking I probably don't have a risk for premenopausal breast cancer.
Speaker 49 I feel like it's my first feeling, and I'm going back to juice.
Speaker 166 Right off the bat, you're going to eliminate a bunch of people here.
Speaker 23 I don't want to go into identifications here.
Speaker 18 I'm nervous about attacking people.
Speaker 172 I don't want you to tell you how you identify.
Speaker 194 But, you know, like, for example, if you happen to be post-menopausal, drink up, right?
Speaker 23 There was no increase there, no increase for any of these other cancers, just premenopausal breast cancer.
Speaker 150 And I find it interesting too that why they are different in some ways.
Speaker 216 Pre-menopausal breast cancer, huge effect.
Speaker 53 Post-menopausal breast
Speaker 161 cancer, no effect.
Speaker 164 Now, look,
Speaker 47 they're a little different, but still, you'd think they'd at least be some effect for both.
Speaker 82 Okay.
Speaker 109 So it found no increase from any of these other cancers.
Speaker 65 The absolute risk, and this is the biggest thing you'll find in these studies more than anything in the world to look for when you look at health and science reporting is this.
Speaker 150 The difference between relative risk and absolute risk.
Speaker 146 Every headline will tell you what the relative risk is.
Speaker 23 Relative risk is different than absolute risk.
Speaker 142 So here's the difference.
Speaker 122 They say
Speaker 95 there was about a 20% increase in the incidence of cancer.
Speaker 27 Sounds really scary, and it does sound really scary, but the absolute risk is about 1%.
Speaker 17 So to put it another way, when they say, okay, it's about a 20% risk in cancer, this is how this works out.
Speaker 121 On average,
Speaker 56 the people who had the lowest incidence in the study, three out of every 100 people had these effects of cancer.
Speaker 148 Okay.
Speaker 196 With all, if you were to go to the highest risk, which is, I think, four sodas a day, okay,
Speaker 110 that gets it to four out of 100.
Speaker 24 So it was three out of 100 with no soda.
Speaker 112 If you drink four sodas a day, it goes to four out of 100 chance of getting cancer.
Speaker 113 Wow. So it's not a 20%.
Speaker 48 People think 20%, like you're going from 3% to 23%.
Speaker 140 No, it's 3% to 4%.
Speaker 27 It's a little bit, there's fractions in there, but that's the basic thing.
Speaker 49 So there's a slight uptick, and you wonder over 100,000 people if they can really measure that accurately.
Speaker 56 Because there's other things that go on.
Speaker 21 This is an observational study.
Speaker 177 First of all, it's people just telling doctors how many they have.
Speaker 9 They're also not looking at any of the rest of what they're doing.
Speaker 47 Well, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 48 They try to control for some of it.
Speaker 64 So some of it, like when it comes to income and there's certain parts of it.
Speaker 186 But like for example.
Speaker 16 Are they looking at what else is in their diet, though?
Speaker 94 I think
Speaker 159 partially they are.
Speaker 65 The interesting part about that is when you talk about an observational study, I come in, Pat, you're Dr.
Speaker 64 Pat, and I come in and you say to me, hey, Fatso,
Speaker 18 how many sugars how many sugary drinks you have pretty good bedside manner obviously yeah you're pretty you're really not the best doctor um you're a little really yeah um and you say hey fatso uh you look like crap today how many sodas have you had and i say uh two
Speaker 161 and then i go home and have nine or i go home and have none there's no way you know that you're actually measuring what i'm drinking i'm just telling you and think about this is like a visit you know once a year i'm like well i've been having about two per week like
Speaker 79 how many sodas do you have per day day, per week?
Speaker 181 How many glasses of juice?
Speaker 205 If you had to estimate that now out of nowhere, you wouldn't be able to do it accurately.
Speaker 206 So that, and that's just one of the things.
Speaker 48 The false reporting is a major problem in these studies all the time.
Speaker 97 But it's entirely possible, even likely, that some other factors might be causing both the cancer and increased sugar drinking.
Speaker 111 For example, we know that wealthier people drink fewer soft drinks.
Speaker 83 And we know that we also know that they are at reduced risk of many cancers.
Speaker 57 So being rich might be confounding the relationship between cancer and sugar drinking.
Speaker 97 And that's just one of the examples.
Speaker 161 They try to control for these things, but
Speaker 77 they're doing estimates.
Speaker 24 That's kind of a strange thing, too.
Speaker 25 Since when do rich people not drink soda?
Speaker 51 Is that a thing?
Speaker 46 Is that really a thing?
Speaker 64 Again, it's on average, so some people do.
Speaker 58 But I think a lot of times you find that wealthier people wind up spending more time on their health.
Speaker 64 You know, they spend more time going to the gym.
Speaker 122 They spend time, you know,
Speaker 59 they'll afford the organic, you know, salad that, you know, maybe instead of McDonald's, right?
Speaker 144 Like, there's some of those things that wind up being being true over long periods of time, but they're not universal.
Speaker 84 Yeah.
Speaker 118 Point is, though, again, basically, like, if this study is right, and there's a million questions about it, and it's not the highest quality of study, if it's right and you drink all the soda you want in your entire life, they're saying there's it goes from a 3% chance of getting pre-menopausal breast cancer to a 4% chance.
Speaker 65 Now, look, as a person who loves soda, and I should give you this because you did mention it, Pat.
Speaker 39 Everyone who writes these crazy things about
Speaker 39 these headlines, they say like every these are sites that live off of this.
Speaker 65 Cancer, you know, it's cancer scare websites are an entire industry.
Speaker 39 And one of the things they always fear monger on is artificial sweeteners.
Speaker 37 They're always saying those things are going to give you cancer all the time.
Speaker 177 And they all put this study about sugar giving you cancer in their headlines.
Speaker 115 What they don't put in the headlines is this part of it.
Speaker 93 Even fruit juice was associated with an increased cancer risk.
Speaker 131 The only safe option aside from water were artificially sweetened drinks, which were not associated with any health issues in this research.
Speaker 52 Any
Speaker 177 and that's been so like saccharine or
Speaker 76 aspartame, any of that, Splenda, any of them. Wow.
Speaker 113 There's no effect at all.
Speaker 159 Now that's very consistent with scientific research over a multiple decades.
Speaker 172 But these sites that would praise this if it showed that there was an artificial
Speaker 27 sweetener increase in cancer, that would be all over every freaking news source.
Speaker 97 That gets buried in paragraph like 90 if it's mentioned at all in the studies
Speaker 26 stories about this bottom line is
Speaker 146 you should not be worried about how much sugar you drink and if it affects your cancer I know as a person who loves soda if this said to me and it was completely true if I had 12 sodas a day it would increase my cancer risk by one percent I'd still have 12 sodas a day I like soda that much you would right
Speaker 204 you gotta it's better it's better to have the information you can actually make decisions and not freak yourself out I feel like people just beat themselves into the degree panic constantly about what they can and can't eat, what they can and can't ingest, when they have to sleep at certain times and get up at certain times and do all of these crazy things and take 9 million pills.
Speaker 39 And it's like, guys, like the human body is relatively
Speaker 146 resilient.
Speaker 204 You know, you don't, you know, try not to dip yourself in a vat of acid.

Speaker 33 Pat and Stufer Glenn.
Speaker 174 You know, I love hearing these
Speaker 61 surveys, these studies that they do because things have just been accepted for so long.
Speaker 15 It's just accepted that sugary drinks, you know, give you cancer or whatever.
Speaker 24 It was just accepted for so long that salt is killing people through high blood pressure.
Speaker 111 And then that's one I even bought into.
Speaker 215 I always thought salt was really, was really bad.
Speaker 92 And the amount of scientific evidence on that is minimal to none.
Speaker 97 I mean, like, it's, yeah, it really doesn't seem to have any negative effects at the amounts that we consume it at.
Speaker 103 And also,
Speaker 39 there is a real risk of eating too little salt.
Speaker 188 Yeah.
Speaker 65 The guidelines, if people, if you cut your salt back too much, it actually has negative health effects, which is amazing.
Speaker 197 It's crazy. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 70 You'd never guess that.
Speaker 125 You'd never, the way people talk about salt.
Speaker 8 You'd never guess that.
Speaker 9 And you mentioned butter, the butter-margarine debate.
Speaker 16 I mean, now it seems like I remember when I was growing up in the 70s, margarine was the thing.
Speaker 7 Nobody ate butter because it was so bad for you.
Speaker 127 And then all of a sudden, I don't know, late 80s, early 90s, butter.
Speaker 14 No, butter is natural, and that's way better than all the chemicals that are in the margarine fruit.
Speaker 84 It's so bizarre.
Speaker 160 I mean, first of all, you find out that most, most anything.
Speaker 144 I mean, I'm not saying like, you know, certain poisons.
Speaker 111 I wouldn't put polonium-212, which I keep bringing up.
Speaker 38 That in any, in any amount is pretty bad.
Speaker 212 But, like, most of this stuff is going to be fine for you if you have it in
Speaker 141 small amounts.
Speaker 165 Yeah.
Speaker 58 The issue, I think, I mean, now we're to the point, you bring up butter and how it was, like, the devil for a really long time.
Speaker 65 And eggs were eggs.
Speaker 168 But, you know now
Speaker 138 the people who tell you how to be healthy and the health mark you know like the health sort of the diet sort of complex that exists um you know when you know a lot of it's now low carb and they have these things and this is a real thing where they tell you to
Speaker 151 people are putting butter in their coffee in their butter
Speaker 163 in their coffee what is it called bull bullet uh there's something there's they have a name for it i can't remember the name of it doesn't what is it
Speaker 76 no i don't think so.
Speaker 70 It doesn't sound good.
Speaker 84 First of all, it sounds to me to be.
Speaker 80 I mean, I think coffee is disgusting.
Speaker 106 I'm not a coffee drinker either.
Speaker 111 I don't understand it.
Speaker 190 But a lot of people do.
Speaker 214 Bulletproof coffee is what they call it.
Speaker 189 And they're taking scoops of butter and throwing it in the coffee.
Speaker 18 That's really weird.
Speaker 118 Now, I don't know.
Speaker 113 Maybe that makes coffee bad. Instead of cream?
Speaker 140 I guess instead of cream, you're putting butter in it.
Speaker 127 Which is kind of...
Speaker 116 It kind of makes sense when you think of it in that way.
Speaker 197 Yeah.
Speaker 103 But also, it doesn't make much sense to me.
Speaker 16 Wow, that is strange.
Speaker 57 Yeah, they have all these things. Like the coconut oil thing was another big one they had for a while.
Speaker 75 Like coconut oils, that's healthy. That's healthy.
Speaker 56 And like this, the doctors and scientists came out and they're like, guys, this is like one of the worst things you can eat.
Speaker 114 Now, look, is it natural? Sure.
Speaker 186 What does that mean?
Speaker 189 It's like basically 100% pure fat.
Speaker 189 So if you think, if you want to have, look, it tastes good.
Speaker 36 And I have no problem eating a little bit of
Speaker 91 coconut oil if it makes it, I mean, because sometimes it makes food taste really good.
Speaker 152 I like coconut oil.
Speaker 184 oil at times, yeah, but like, don't act like it's healthy.
Speaker 146 Like, people just try to find the thing, what seems least healthy.
Speaker 39 Let's write a book about how it's healthy, and then it'll sell a million copies.
Speaker 18 Like, I don't know, is coconut oil healthy?
Speaker 161 I mean, I, and that was the thing, Glenn went through that celery thing for a while.
Speaker 116 I don't think, I don't know if that's still happening, but he had the guy on who was like, hey, I magically conjured the celery is solving all these diseases.
Speaker 58 And you're like, wait a minute, I
Speaker 67 you're not even saying doctors back this up.
Speaker 116 You're just saying that you heard, like, you're you had a medium connection to some spirit that told you that celery is better than what doctors think it is.
Speaker 55 Seriously, that was the connection?
Speaker 53 Yeah, and you're like,
Speaker 164 And Glenn went along with that?
Speaker 152 Like, well,
Speaker 216 let's put it this way: I think Tanya wanted him to eat something that was a vegetable.
Speaker 80 That's my impression of that entire incident.
Speaker 84 But the bottom line is,
Speaker 86 Glenn did eat a piece of celery at one point over the past year, and I'm sure all the health benefits came through.
Speaker 72 I'm sure,
Speaker 18 Right? Yes.
Speaker 84 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 33 Almost for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 18 Yeah, it's Pat and Sue. Pat and Stew, not Sue.
Speaker 44 Sue left.
Speaker 24 Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Back program 888 727 B E C K.
Speaker 9 So we had some dummies going into Walmart's yesterday and the day before.
Speaker 10 I don't know what the point of it was for this guy to dress up in, I think he had body armor on.
Speaker 6 He had camo. he had multiple firearms,
Speaker 6 an AR-15 strapped around him.
Speaker 192 He had a hundred, and they were all loaded.
Speaker 153 He had a hundred rounds of ammo, and he gets a shopping cart and starts filming himself walking around Walmart like that.
Speaker 8 Now, I don't, are you making a point?
Speaker 39 Are you just trying to get YouTube views?
Speaker 6 Are you making a point about how I can do this, so I'm going to? What a dumb thing to do.
Speaker 92 Yeah, a lot of we've seen this a few times with like people who are Second Amendment activists who think it's a good idea to
Speaker 57 go out there and show that they legally can do, you know, carry a gun that's going to scare a bunch of people around.
Speaker 113 Not a good time for that.
Speaker 6 Not a good place for that.
Speaker 60 You do have legitimately, and this is not right, but you have a legitimate chance of getting yourself killed doing that.
Speaker 41 Yeah, you do.
Speaker 21 That's not appropriate.
Speaker 96 It's not the right thing.
Speaker 39 You should be able to do these things.
Speaker 100 Well, somebody might think because it just happened in a Walmart that you're a threat and there might be a security guard or an off-duty cop or whatever that takes him down.
Speaker 21 Now, there is an argument to be made.
Speaker 33 And it's just stupid.
Speaker 73 And they've made these arguments before, which is basically like, because no one does it, people
Speaker 39 see guns as foreign scary items.
Speaker 97 Yeah.
Speaker 122 Because they don't see it in their normal lives.
Speaker 58 So they freak out when they do.
Speaker 120 And there is a point there.
Speaker 36 However, the way to make that point is not to carry around, you know, weapons in Walmart to just in an obviously...
Speaker 14 Right after 20 people were murdered. Right.
Speaker 36 And then obviously, like, you know,
Speaker 140 they're trying to incite a reaction there.
Speaker 199 Yes, they are.
Speaker 116 And probably, you know, you're lucky the reaction isn't someone thinking you're trying to kill people and shooting you in the head.
Speaker 39 Yeah. I mean, you could legitimately die trying to do something like that.
Speaker 141 For YouTube views, not worth it.
Speaker 7 As it was,
Speaker 14 the manager pulled the alarm.
Speaker 16 They emptied out the store. As the guy was leaving out a back door, an off-duty fireman who was armed held him at gunpoint until cops got there and arrested him.
Speaker 41 And he did not necessarily commit a crime.
Speaker 31 No.
Speaker 97 No, so they may find out that he's not, you know, maybe, but still, is that the day that you want?
Speaker 130 Is that your afternoon?
Speaker 93 You go to the police, you go to the police station, you answer a bunch of questions.
Speaker 57 They think you're about to murder people.
Speaker 93 They eventually, let's say, if everything goes well, say, okay, it looks like you weren't.
Speaker 143 You were just making a point on the Second Amendment.
Speaker 106 You can go home, and now it's 9 p.m.
Speaker 173 Like, that's your best case scenario for the afternoon.
Speaker 82 Yes,
Speaker 11 nobody got hurt, so thank goodness. Uh, by the grace of God, nobody did get hurt.
Speaker 55 Thank God, but yeah, why, why
Speaker 16 would you do that at this particular time? It's just, that's not worth it. I don't think it's worth it.
Speaker 9 Also, there was another guy who walked into a Walmart.
Speaker 25 This one was in Port St.
Speaker 6 Lucie, Florida.
Speaker 11 He went up to the counter where they sell the guns, and he asked the clerk, what can I buy here that will kill 200 people?
Speaker 153 And the clerk says, that's...
Speaker 69 really not funny.
Speaker 155 And he said, right, what can I, I know, what can I buy here that will kill 200 people?
Speaker 192 So then they also pulled the alarm on that store and emptied that one out.
Speaker 68 He was just an anti-gun nut, trying to make another point on the other side.
Speaker 18 Listen to what he had to say afterwards, as a matter of fact.
Speaker 217 Yes, what I did last night in Walmart was in poor taste.
Speaker 44 You think?
Speaker 18 I'm a
Speaker 217 long-time gun violence prevention activist.
Speaker 217 And I'm here back home in Port St. Lucie, the same town where Omar Mateen purchased his guns to do the Pulse
Speaker 217 the Pulse massacre. And I'm in a Walmart just a few days after El Paso and I'm seeing a white nationalist looking guy
Speaker 18 purchase a gun.
Speaker 153 Okay, so he's seeing a white nationalist looking guy.
Speaker 64 You know, because white nationalists we know, Pat, are bad because they judge people by their appearance.
Speaker 23 That's how we know white nationalism is bad because they're looking at just the color of a skin
Speaker 76 and judging them.
Speaker 92 That's how when I see someone who looks like a white nationalist, I judge them immediately by the color of their skin.
Speaker 11 Which is obviously what this douche did.
Speaker 33 Unbelievable.
Speaker 134 It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 65 I mean, it's probably not time for stunts.
Speaker 131 No. Can we say that on either side?
Speaker 92 Not a good stunting time.
Speaker 18 It's not a good time for a good old bit at a Walmart.
Speaker 56 Right.
Speaker 30 They're a little sensitive about those things at this particular moment.
Speaker 19 Right.
Speaker 65 And maybe this is a time to just be a freaking normal human being.
Speaker 139 Is that even an available option for some of these people?
Speaker 14 And maybe we could have a, I don't know, a healing period.
Speaker 98 What would that be like if we just got along, tried to get along with each other?
Speaker 24 I mean, I know it's difficult.
Speaker 174 Yeah, I know there's a lot of divisiveness,
Speaker 157 or as you know, they would say it on the meet in the media now, divisiveness.
Speaker 155 There's a lot of divisiveness going on.
Speaker 16 Yeah.
Speaker 9 Because the root word of
Speaker 11 divide is now divided, I guess.
Speaker 70 It is divided. It is divided.
Speaker 82 Yes, so that's confirmed. All right.
Speaker 12 So
Speaker 153 it would just be nice if we could just, you know, work together as human beings, figure this out, and not do these stunts.
Speaker 24 Because the stunt on the one side with the guy heavily armed going through a Walmart, that's just going to give cannon fodder to the other side.
Speaker 7 Conversely, this guy does the same thing for us.
Speaker 9 I mean, it's just ridiculous on both ends.
Speaker 18 Yeah.
Speaker 154 Just ridiculous.
Speaker 64 It's just a tough one because, you know, there was a time in which we would not rush to this this nonsense.
Speaker 6 Yeah, well, that time's long gone.
Speaker 18 It's just long gone.
Speaker 130 I mean, it's and you know, the Rama manual, Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste, is the perfect summary for the era we live in.
Speaker 111 You know, as much as I thought that was a really despicable sentiment at the time, you realize how central it is to everyday life in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 6 Even before
Speaker 137 the situation has been resolved, they're already politicizing it.
Speaker 125 I mean,
Speaker 25 I don't even know if the killer had been apprehended at the Walmart in El Paso before we started seeing the tweets and things from the left about how we need to get the guns.
Speaker 69 And it's
Speaker 190 not Trump's fault. You know what, Pat?
Speaker 162 Thoughts and prayers aren't enough.
Speaker 82 Right. Like that, right?
Speaker 173 See that stance I just took?
Speaker 190 Booyah. Boom.
Speaker 110 That's what happens.
Speaker 97 I just put it in your face.
Speaker 163 When you decided to think about the lives of the victims' families and pray for them, I put it right in your face.
Speaker 115 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 131 I stuck it in your face, and now you'll think twice next time about thinking. Next time your thoughts are entering your brain, you'll think twice uh i mean before i even get to a prayer
Speaker 132 prayers or alpha completely um kamala harris really did that this week she she she actually said no more thoughts and prayers which is fascinating it used to be thoughts and prayers aren't enough now it's no more thoughts and prayers so they do not want you to pray but they also don't want you to think neither one of those wouldn't that be wonderful for the for the progressive government in this country if we just stop praying and thinking about everything because that really is what gets in the way yeah you know this would be so easy if it wasn't for you crazy kids.
Speaker 167 This would be so easy if it wasn't for your thinking and praying.
Speaker 216 It just keeps getting in the way.
Speaker 189 We want to do all these amazing things for you, but you just keep thinking and praying your way out of them.
Speaker 141 It is amazing that that has become a legitimate point.
Speaker 145 And I think it falls into something we talked about earlier today, Pat, about not learning your lesson.
Speaker 111 from 2016 about deplorables.
Speaker 65 You know, back then, we kind of covered this earlier in the program, but
Speaker 40 Hillary Clinton made a a speech about, and she said, some of these Donald Trump supporters are deplorable.
Speaker 122 They're in the basket of deplorables, racists and anti-Semites and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 56 And of course, you can make that statement and actually be accurate about every candidate that has ever run a race.
Speaker 57 There's always people that vote for a candidate that are awful.
Speaker 56 Because there's people who do everything that are awful, right?
Speaker 194 Every place you go, every day, you're going to run into somebody who's kind of terrible.
Speaker 93 And so this is not an amazing observation, but it may have been enough for her to actually lose this race.
Speaker 203 It pissed people off.
Speaker 167 Stop calling us deplorable.
Speaker 159 What are you talking about?
Speaker 140 We're not racist. We're not doing these things.
Speaker 114 And because of the impression, just the impression, because it's not what she said, just the impression that she was calling all of Donald Trump supporters deplorable, she specifically was making the case that they weren't all that way.
Speaker 151 She was saying, look, some of these supporters are deplorable, but you know, there's a lot of other people who are regular Americans and are worried about the economy, and we need to make sure we're speaking to them.
Speaker 89 That was her point.
Speaker 65 The Democratic Party, instead of learning learning the lesson of we better not just call a bunch of millions of people deplorables,
Speaker 189 instead, now the Democratic Party is calling everyone who supports Donald Trump a racist.
Speaker 167 It's not enough to just say that they have problems or they might even be deplorable for a multitude of reasons.
Speaker 85 No,
Speaker 114 all of them are racists.
Speaker 150 It's the exact opposite lesson that they're learning.
Speaker 161 And I think the same thing with
Speaker 150 the thoughts and prayers thing. It's like instead of saying like we respect the fact that there are a lot of people of faith who disagree with with us on guns.
Speaker 161 And while we think the best thing to do is government action to massively control firearms, we also can recognize that the overwhelming percentage of people that own guns don't commit crimes, that they're good people.
Speaker 187 And, you know, we are just trying to stop the worst of these incidents.
Speaker 150 Instead, it's, gosh, you bastards.
Speaker 57 You don't want to do anything.
Speaker 39 You want these people to die.
Speaker 187 All you keep throwing out these fake prayers with your fake sky god and boomsticks.
Speaker 184 And it's like that is
Speaker 150 they are learning the opposite lesson.
Speaker 57 They are doing everything they can to tell the average voter in the middle in Michigan, don't vote for us because we hate you.
Speaker 184 You know, you voted for Trump in 2016.
Speaker 187 We despise everything you stand for.
Speaker 91 Make sure you don't come to us in 2020.
Speaker 106 That might like this is a dream for Donald Trump.
Speaker 139 The fact that they have this giant primary and they're all falling over themselves to see who can be most socialist and offensive to religious people is a great, a great thing that is going on for Donald Trump's campaign.
Speaker 65 The fact that the Democrats can't recognize that is mesmerizing.
Speaker 161 It's watching them all light their electoral hopes on fire in real time.
Speaker 29 This is not an unwinnable race for a Democrat.
Speaker 48 The economy is really good, but I mean, Trump has issues. He's at 42 and 43% approval rating.
Speaker 161 With the economy looking like this, it should be higher.
Speaker 91 He has his issues, and a good candidate running a race that made sense would have a chance against Donald Trump.
Speaker 202 The way they're doing this now, yelling at you for praying for murder victims, crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 95 And you know what?
Speaker 65 Keep the crazy going as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 130 So, Andy No, who is the guy who was
Speaker 42 beat up by Antifa in the streets of Portland a little while ago?
Speaker 144 We had him on the program.
Speaker 42 He's a journalist, not a hardcore right guy, but a guy who's critical of Antifa.
Speaker 18 He writes an article.
Speaker 6 Is he a gay man and a journalist or just a journalist?
Speaker 30 I I don't know.
Speaker 50 I don't know, but I love that reference.
Speaker 3 I do too.
Speaker 183 Good old Phil Hendrix.
Speaker 176 Okay, so Dayton, the Dayton shooter might be Antifa's first mass killer.
Speaker 171 Let me give you this case here and see what you think.
Speaker 42 When it comes to, we all know about the right-wing stuff at El Paso that everyone's saying.
Speaker 58 When it comes to condemning the Dayton shooters' militant far-left views, all remain mum.
Speaker 160 Others, such as police activist Sean King, even claim the Dayton shooter targeted blacks in a hate crime, though racism doesn't appear to have been a big component in his twisted worldview.
Speaker 64 The Dayton shooter didn't leave behind a manifesto, but his extensive social media footprint provides clues as to what may have inspired him.
Speaker 173 He had long expressed support for Antifa accounts, causes, and individuals.
Speaker 26 That would be the, of course, loose network of militant leftist activists who physically attack anyone to the right of Mao in the name of anti-fascism.
Speaker 27 In particular, he promoted extreme hatred of American border enforcement.
Speaker 79 Kill every fascist.
Speaker 145 It's a quote.
Speaker 139 The shooter declared in 2018 on Twitter.
Speaker 201 Over the next year, his tweets became increasingly violent.
Speaker 77 Nazis deserve death and nothing else, he tweeted last October.
Speaker 29 He, of course,
Speaker 27 frequently flung the label Nazi around at those he disagreed with.
Speaker 91 In response to an essay by
Speaker 139 an intercept writer entitled, Let's Defeat or Impeach Trump, But What If He Doesn't Leave the White House?
Speaker 56 The shooter wrote, Arm, Train, Prepare.
Speaker 58 He then tweeted in June, I want socialism, and I will not wait for the idiots to finally come around to understanding.
Speaker 162 He promoted posts that demonized Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy's resolution against anti-extremism.
Speaker 169 The national unity in rejecting violent white nationalist ideologues are emblematic of resolve against the far right.
Speaker 97 The unanimous rejection of El Paso's shooter and his beliefs, including by President Trump, once more demonstrated the nation's resolve against the hard-right hate.
Speaker 97 Yet when it comes to far-left violent extremism, there is a gaping blind spot in the mainstream discourse, and we are less safe because of it.
Speaker 97 The Dayton Shooter promoted the same virulently anti-law enforcement rhetoric that too many mainstream figures on the left flirt with.
Speaker 97 And yet it was courageous police officers who finally ended his carnage when they shot and killed him outside of that bar.
Speaker 195 His case also makes clear Antifa's violence goes far beyond street hooliganism, that it's become infamous for.
Speaker 26 The group espouses the belief that liberal democracy is irredeemably oppressive, fascistic even, and must be thoroughly destroyed.
Speaker 65 Last month, an Antifa militant firebombed an immigration and customs enforcement facility in Tacoma, Washington.
Speaker 77 Police say he was killed after he aimed a rifle at them during the attack.
Speaker 105 His gun had apparently malfunctioned before he could fire.
Speaker 140 In his manifesto, he called for his comrades to take up arms in confronting the ascendant fascism of the state.
Speaker 65 In one of his last tweets, before he killed all those people in Dayton, he responded to a person asking if the guy who firebombed the ICE facility had been a villain or a martyr.
Speaker 172 He replied, martyr.
Speaker 77 I mean, he had said over and over again: people should be killed
Speaker 28 for holding beliefs that are anything but socialist.
Speaker 140 And he supported the groups like Antifa and their attempts at violence.
Speaker 33 Good thing, that's justified them.
Speaker 16 Nothing like fascism.
Speaker 152 I mean, no, right now.
Speaker 173 Wow, it seems a lot of these anti-fascists are pretty fascist.
Speaker 52 It sure does.
Speaker 11 Really strange.
Speaker 33 Yeah, very strange.
Speaker 98 He was also apparently a Satanist,
Speaker 68 which is also pretty weird. And
Speaker 24 for the first victim that he had, it was his sister.
Speaker 56 You wonder, that's kind of why I
Speaker 19 really strange.
Speaker 73 My initial interaction with this story was more of the because you can be a conservative and commit a murder.
Speaker 40 That does not mean you
Speaker 105 committed a murder because you're conservative.
Speaker 199 Same thing here.
Speaker 160 He could be a socialist and kill a bunch of people.
Speaker 212 It doesn't mean it has to be because of socialism.
Speaker 43 And my initial impression, because his sister was one of the targets, maybe it was a personal vendetta and he just decided to kill a a bunch of people, too.
Speaker 204 But there's some evidence here.
Speaker 46 I mean, he was really outwardly violent and advocating for that violence.
Speaker 125 According to his friends, too, he loved his sister, had nothing against her.
Speaker 9 Really a strange situation.
Speaker 193 So weird.
Speaker 5 Wow. And they're still not talking about the fact that the El Paso shooter was an environmentalist.
Speaker 153 Yes.
