That was my father's day.
I watched sports and I cooked out and then went in the pool with the kids.
Like it was very much the day that you have.
Luckily, I skipped the, I used to hate the mowing the lawn part of every dad's life.
My dad actually owned a landscaping company when I was a kid.
And that was his big, big thing.
He didn't have the hustler turf though.
He didn't have that going on for him.
So, you know, his life was somewhat miserable.
If you have Hustler Turf, it's a lot of people like mowing their lawn.
Because you could do it like nine seconds.
Hustler Turf has these zero-turn lawnmowers.
They're amazing.
They've been perfecting them for over 55 years.
Professional landscapers and homeowners now buy Hustler because of their durability and heavy-duty
construction.
You're not going to find any flimsy things stamped on Hustler.
But you can go now and go to HustlerTurf.com.
Get the lawn mower that's going to make you want to mow your lawn.
HustlerTurf.com.
It's hustlerturf.com.
With Pat and Stu today, we've got a great show light up for you.
Glenn returns tomorrow.
But in the meantime, a lot to talk about.
Is COVID-19 over?
Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports declared at such.
Oh.
And had his account suspended, of course, because of it.
You can't do that.
You cannot.
And he's the official declarer, too.
He is.
I believe, yeah.
So good thing.
Jack shut him.
down right away. Also, some controversy about just a tragic accident, or was it, was it a terrorist act
at the Gay Pride Parade? We'll get into that and lots more in 60 seconds.
Since the pandemic started, one-fifth of homeowners have refinanced their homes. That's incredible.
20%. Look, it's a smart decision. If you haven't been able to do that yet, you could be missing out
on hundreds of dollars per month. The question is, if you're wondering,
of the 80% who hasn't gotten around to it yet. What are you waiting for? Interest rates are still
at very impressive lows. You might see those go up in the future here. I know that's what
I'm expecting. American financing is there for you. You can do this today. They're going to go over
your finances with you, see if something like a refinance or a consolidation loan would help you out.
There's no obligation, no upfront or hidden fees. Maybe best of all, there's no pressure.
Very easy. American financing isn't working for the banks. They're working for you.
you. It's pretty normal to think about things like, you know, pay raises rather than trimming costs.
But you know what? It comes to the same thing. I mean, it's the same dollar in your pocket.
Don't be one of those 80% who aren't doing this. Call American financing today. American financing

Just look it up on Ask Jeeves.
All right.
You heard about the tragedy.
No doubt in Fort Lauderdale at the LGBTQQI.
2 plus pride parade.
You're doing double Q there now?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because I've noticed the Q is sort of a controversial part of the acronym, if that's what it is.
LGBTIQIA 2 plus was that way for a while.
When you look at what the Q means, it would give you several things.
Yeah.
Queer.
Yes.
Questioning.
Isn't there one more or two?
I only know about queer questioning, which is why I always do the two cues.
So you double Q.
I am upset that some people leave out either the queer or the questioning.
I don't think either group should be left out.
And it's deep within me, so I say it correctly every time.
LGB-T-Q-Q-I-A-2-plus.
And plus is much worse than the Q.
Because plus seems to just say everything else.
So why don't just call it plus?
Because we don't know what else there is right now,
We're going to discover it soon.
Okay.
So anything that we discover, we have to put in there.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, with another letter.
It would be easy to just say, how about L plus?
Right.
That would cover G, B, T, Q, I, A, too.
We know about them, so you must use their letters.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's like when they were doing this AAPI hate, which is.
AAPI?
Yeah.
Which is.
I'm sorry, you don't know.
I do you not know what AAPI hate?
Okay.
Asian.
American and of course Pat.
Oh, Pacific Islander. Pacific Islanders.
Yes. Yes. Now, Atlantic
Islanders, we don't care if you hate them.
Okay, if you are from an Atlantic
based island, if you're
Bermuda, we can hate you all
we want. That's totally
fine. But if you're in the Pacific Ocean
then no. And that
island sits there. Absolutely
hate is bad. Now,
they should do AAPI
plus hate. And then we
know, you know, if you live
on the outer banks
on an island,
you cannot be hated as much.
Okay.
Okay.
But as of right now,
if you're living on,
let's say,
Taibi Island off the coast of Savannah,
Georgia,
you can be hated.
Wow.
Absolutely fine to hate those people.
But if you're in Tonga,
if you're in Tonga,
absolutely not.
No.
Those are PIs and PIs cannot be hated.
Yeah.
So that's how we get LGBTQQIA.
plus. And, you know, some of the lesser known
people in that group, the
intersex and the asexual, I don't
think they get enough airtime. I really don't. No. I don't think they, and
that's a hate in and of itself. Now, in your show, Pat Gray
on Leash, you did do a 14-part series.
I did, yes. On intersex and then a 17-part series on asexual.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And so you've been giving them
the attention they deserve. I've tried. I've tried.
Make up for it. The mainststress. I, but, I'm
I'm only one person and the mainstream media will not cooperate.
They don't care.
They don't care.
A lot of times they'll just say the LGBT community.
Yeah, they will.
Which is disgusting.
It's despicable and it's hateful.
Because if you don't throw the plus in, then you're really, I mean, at least the plus gives you plausible deniability.
Like, well, we just included them in the plus.
Right.
Right.
Yes.
But no, not the media lately.
They've been saying LGBT.
Remember, LGBT?
Because I remember when we started the blaze, it was GBTV.
And everyone pointed out that we should just add an L and make it LGBTV.
Right.
It would make it a lot easier.
And we probably get like funding from the government for our evil right-wing
conservative news source.
Sure.
It could have worked.
But we didn't do it.
We did not.
We did not do it.
So as we celebrate this month, you know, it's not a day.
It's not a week.
We have to celebrate an entire month.
month. That's how seriously we take LGBTQIA2 plus month. Pride month is fantastic. And at a pride
celebration, though, they had a real bad tragedy where a truck ran into a crowd of people,
killed one of them, badly injured another. That person's in the hospital. So immediately,
the Democrat mayor of Fort Lauderdale jumped all over it as a terrorist.
attack.
And so did everybody on Twitter.
All the left wing idiots on Twitter were talking about the terrorist attack, the right
wing extremists, the blah blah blah blah blah blah over and over and over.
It turns out the person who did it got his foot stuck between the break and the gas pedal
is actually a gay person who was participating in the parade and was in fact a member of
the gay chorus.
was wearing the t-shirt of the gay chorus and just accidentally.
I mean, it's really sad.
But for everybody to jump to the conclusion immediately that it's some white, enraged, homophobic person,
just not true.
Just not accurate.
It's very typical, though, right?
So typical.
There's no reason to believe when a car accident happens that it's terrorism.
Let's see.
There's no reason to believe that.
But that's all that these groups seem to care about.
They don't care about the actual people.
Not in the least.
They only care about whether they can use it on Twitter to score points.
I get retweets.
I don't even understand it.
It's so crazy.
It's the same thing with Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives are like 9 zillionth on their list of priorities.
That I promise you.
They don't care.
No doubt about it.
It has nothing to do with Black Lives.
We obviously, like, if it had something to do with Black Lives,
they would be focusing on the 99% of murders that aren't police officers, right?
Obviously, they don't care about this.
This is something completely different.
And we're supposed to play along with it and act as if this is an honest, earnest effort when clearly it's not.
Clearly it's not.
The mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Dean Trentales, said this is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community.
I'm sorry. Again, leaving off. The QQIA 2 plus? Thank you. Yes. Exactly. So those people weren't victimized in this. I guess not. Just the lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and trans people were. They were the only ones terrorists, terrorized. So no one who was questioning was victimized in this attack. No. Nor the queer. What about the two spirit? No. They were not victimized. And again, I will point out, and I don't want to out you on the air, that's not my goal here. Obviously, we're doing, you know, we're doing the show we work together. But your
series on two spirits was only eight episodes long, much shorter than your asexual or, and I
mean, I don't even know what your pansexual series was. I barely could, I missed it. I missed a
couple of shows and it was over. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I apologize for that. You clearly. I'm
working on eight more episodes. Okay. It'll be part two. This hasn't happened yet. Okay. But it's
coming. Okay. Good. It's coming soon. So he says this is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community.
this is exactly what it is.
Hardly an accident.
It was deliberate.
It was premeditated.
Oh my gosh.
And it was targeted against a specific person.
Luckily, they missed that person,
but unfortunately,
they hit two other people.
He's alluding to the fact
that Debbie Wasserman Schultz
was in the area.
Right.
And I think he's saying
they were trying to kill her.
This is bizarre
because he's providing specifics.
Yeah, right.
Of the mindset of the attacker.
that he's just making up.
He's just making them up.
He doesn't know anything about the mindset of the attacker because there wasn't an attacker.
Right.
And Justin Knight, who is the president of the Fort Lauderdale gay men's chorus.
Oh my God.
Only gay men are involved in this chorus.
So no else.
No.
No Bs.
No T's.
No cues.
No other Q. No I.
No A.
No two.
And no pluses?
Right.
That's a hateful organization is what that is.
It is.
It is.
and yet somehow he was allowed to speak.
He said,
our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic accident
that occurred when the Stonewall Pride Parade
was just getting started.
Our fellow chorus members were those injured
and the driver was also a part of the chorus family.
To my knowledge, this was not an attack
on the LGBTQ community.
We anticipate more details to follow
and ask for the community's love and support.
So the guy, the driver, who supposedly was the, you know, hate mongering terrorist, is actually part of the gay men's chorus.
It's just, and this all came out pretty quickly, too, and yet people are just still sticking with their agenda of trying to make this out to be some sort of white supremacy, which, as we know, is the greatest threat that mankind faces today.
Along with climate change, yes.
Along with climate change.
caused by straight white men and their white supremacy.
Exactly.
But they caused the climate change, which is also a huge threat.
Yes.
To the LGBTQQIA2 plus community.
Well, more to that community than any other.
Disproportionate.
Can I throw in disproportionate?
Whenever you throw in disproportionate, then you know you're being smart.
You're being...
Woke.
And you're certainly woke.
Yes.
So I always try to throw in disproportionately.
Because most, you know, they always talk, they're like, look, the genocide of violence against the LGBTQIA 2 plus community and POCs across the world is disproportionately.
It's like, if it's a genocide, you don't need the word disproportionate.
Right.
Like that, they were never like, you know what?
Hitler is killing a lot of Aryans, but disproportionately, he's focused on Jews.
Like, that's not how that works.
It's really, you never need to make the disproportionate addition to a genocide.
Now, I don't mean to call you out, Stu, but you just made the, you just made the mistake.
What did I do?
Of calling people POCs.
Right.
People of color.
Right.
Yes.
You left out the black and indigenous people in the POCs.
It's BIPC, thank you.
It's B-I-P-O-C.
That's true.
It's the black.
indigenous people of color, if you would.
Now, is it...
From now on, if you could just call them Bipox, I would appreciate it.
I believe, by the way, it's just Bipoc.
Okay, you're biPoc.
Because that would be people of colors.
That's true.
And that's not, you can't pluralize that one.
That's true.
Which is hard to do.
So the Bipak.
Yes.
Yes. And so black indigenous and then people of color.
People of color.
Again, that's, the people of color is another scam.
It's a plus.
It's like black indigenous plus.
Yeah.
What colors are we talking about?
B-I-plus.
And that used to be the knock on saying colored people.
You weren't supposed to say that.
Right.
People of color or colored people because the comeback would be,
oh, what color are they?
What?
I don't know.
Just all people of color.
Right.
Non-white people.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Certainly not white people.
They're not involved in the plus.
No.
No.
Now, if they happen to be, let's say, two-spirit.
Mm-hmm.
Or questioning their two-spiritedness,
then they can be involved.
white people are allowed to be involved in the group.
As long as they have some different sexuality, yes.
Some alternate lifestyle.
Yes.
Then it's okay to include a white person.
But don't you dare.
Don't you dare come to me some cisgendered white person.
Don't you do it?
Cisgendered and straight.
I don't want to hear it.
I hate cisgendered white male men.
I hate them.
Don't we all?
You know, they've ruined everything.
And they don't deserve to have the.
plus. They don't. They don't deserve it. They don't deserve to be involved in the plus unless, of course, then, you know, they happen to be
LG, they identify as LGBTQIA2 plus or, or black. If they identify as black, then it's fine. Right.
As white people, if they identify as black, then that's okay. Much more identity politics.
Coming up, 60 seconds. Ah, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Triple 8-27-B-E-C-K.
got a little song from the gay men's chorus.
Actually, they were out encouraging people to get vaccinated.
So you got a couple of great agenda items.
You have the LGBTQIA2 plus community singing.
And you have the vaccination thing being drummed into our heads, which is incredibly important.
Not enough vaccination songs out there.
Not nearly.
We need more of them.
There's only about 15,000.
And we need more of them.
And here's one of them.
Beautiful.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate.
Make an appointment.
Vaccinate.
Make an appointment.
Nice.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate.
It's with a moment.
Okay.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate.
Get rid of COVID.
Shots in the arm do hurt.
Just a quick shot.
Gonna make you get you to the clinic.
Now is the time to vaccinate and take back our world.
This is...
It's good, right?
Mm.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate.
Make it a point.
Yeah.
Wow.
Vaccinate.
Vaccinate.
Make an appointment.
What a dumb society we have.
Oh, my gosh.
All right.
Again, I'm not.
against the vaccines at all.
No, I'm really not either.
I'm just hesitant.
I'm vaccine hesitant.
And you know what, Pat, that's okay.
You're in the plus.
That puts you in the plus.
Does it?
You can't participate in that choir
because that's only for gay men.
Right.
But if it was an LGBTQQIA2 plus,
chorus, you could participate.
Yeah.
But like I don't understand.
It's just stand by your product.
Like the product works.
People are going to want to take it.
And by the way,
two thirds of adults have taken it.
right? So it's not like
they act as if 4%
of people have had a vaccine.
They're like, we've got to get it to 10.
We must get it to 10%.
Two thirds of people who are eligible
to take this vaccine have taken it.
What did you expect? 100%.
Did you really expect this?
I don't know what they expected.
And in the beginning, if I'm not mistaken,
didn't Fauci say we need to get to around 70%.
Yeah.
That was his goal.
He's come out and said he was lying about that.
I mean, he's come out.
and admitted that he was telling a little fib to the American people that actually heard
him. He's more like 80 or 90%, not 50 or 60%, as he was saying earlier on, which is like,
inexcusable.
It is.
This guy, he's done this several times.
He's admitted the lies about the masks.
The masks, the same thing.
Yeah, he's had several of these.
And it's really bad.
I mean, the last thing, the only thing you can't do is tell people information you
know to be untrue.
I think everybody would understand if people made.
mistakes and they did, right?
Yeah. And if you would have said it in the first place, if you would have said, look, we don't
have all the answers yet. Yeah. Okay. We're looking into it, but this disease is too new and we
don't know all of facts yet. Yeah. You want me to guess? I'd say maybe 60 or 70% but we don't
know. Yeah. Like, okay. I think if you communicate your lack of certainty,
people can make decisions on their own, but that's the last thing they wanted. They can trust you.
If you're just honest with us, but he hasn't been from the start.
No, there's been multiple cases of this.
And again, I can totally excuse people for saying something that they thought was true at the beginning and turned out to not be true.
You know, there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Yeah.
Was that a lie?
No, that was not a lie.
Right.
But the left certainly labeled it as such, whereas now, oh, these things just evolve.
They just didn't know at the time.
You can't say something you know to be untrue
and act as if it's true for some other
associated agenda
and then act like we're supposed to trust your every word
and hang on it.
Like that's just not going to happen.
People learn.
I know the government hates that, but this is what happens.
So when it comes time to buy or sell a house,
what's your plan?
Do you even have one?
I mean, in this market, you really need to have one
because the market is going freaking crazy when it comes to housing prices.
And that's why this is such a massive deal.
If you're talking about one of your largest financial transactions you'll ever have in your entire life,
you'll ever go through, and you're in the middle of this market, well, you better take advantage of it.
If you are selling a house, you better get that best price.
You better know when to hold out for a better offer.
Maybe not to fix that thing that they're requesting you fix because it's too good of a market.
You don't have to deal with that stuff right now.
If you're buying, you don't want to overreach, you need a real estate agent on your side.
You need someone who knows the market who's going to be able to take advantage of a very unique
situation that's going on right now with an exploding housing market and so much going off
the market so quickly.
I mean, you list a house and two days later, it seems like it's gone.
Real estate agents.itrust.com is the place to go to find that person.
Go to real estate agents.
I trust.com.
The name kind of says at all.

Check out my show, Pac Ray Unleashed.
Every weekday immediately preceding this one, 7 to 9 Eastern, or anytime and anywhere, you get your podcast.
It's Pat and Stufer Glenn today.
There's an interesting poll, and there have been several of them.
And each of them has found about the same percentage of people who believe that Donald Trump will be reinstated as president.
this year.
Okay.
No.
That's not going to happen.
It can't happen.
There is no constitutional mechanism by which this would happen.
Even at this point, if they found nine million ballots.
Uh-huh.
And it was proof positive.
And the Biden administration came out and said, yeah, we did it.
That was us.
We planted all of this.
These are where we put the ballots.
here's the footage of us doing it.
You really shouldn't have done it.
Thinking back at that moment,
we were very passionate.
We thought we could live with it, but now we can't.
We can't.
We feel so guilty about it.
Yeah.
You still couldn't.
There's still no mechanism to get Donald Trump to be brought.
Like, there's not a way for that to occur unless Joe Biden got, somehow got rid of, like, Kamala Harris steps down.
Joe Biden names Donald Trump as vice president.
And then he steps down.
That'd be about it.
That's about the only way you could get him into becoming president.
Which probably isn't going to.
to have. I'd say it's unlikely. Less than 30%. Yeah. More than unlikely, him being reinstated this year is
impossible. Unless, again, like you said, the unlikelyhood of Biden firing Kamala Harris and putting...
You can't even fire Kamala Harris, really, can he? She has to step down. She was elected.
He would, right? Right? So you can't just fight. But she, she'd have to step down. He'd have to select Donald Trump and then Biden...
Who's then vice president and then Biden would have to step down.
So that's probably your best chance.
Or you got a military coup.
Those are about your two possibilities.
That means there is no constitutional.
There's no way to make that happen.
And, you know, we've seen some people argue that that's a good thing for the country.
Would not be a good thing for the country.
We do not need a military coup in this nation.
You know, look, I would like my taxes to be lower.
I would like spending to be lower.
There's lots of things here.
but that's not...
Would we love it to happen?
Yes.
We should be clear, though, on these polls.
And you know, I'm a fan of polls generally, unlike many people, probably in the audience.
They are at times inaccurate, but generally speaking, I think they provide value.
In a situation like this, they don't provide value.
Because I don't actually think 30% of Republicans believe that Donald Trump is going to be reinstated this year.
what happens in these situations is you have people who
look at the question and
just answer it based on the fact of do I think it's good for Donald Trump
right I like Donald Trump is this good for Donald Trump
yes what is this what's this pollster want me to say
you know what I mean they want me to say well of course Donald Trump has no
chance of being president again well I say he does I mean you go back to the
polling during the George W Bush administration I think it was
45% of Democrats
said they believed George Bush
was responsible for 9-11.
Wow.
It was much higher than 30.
I think it was a plurality of voters
said he was responsible for it.
And meaning, and not just like,
okay, well, he should have done more to defend,
but like he was actually involved
in the planning of 9-11.
45% of Democrats said that.
So a lot of these polls
where you're asking these outlier sort of
things almost always designed to try to make Republicans look bad, right?
There's a certain percentage of people that will just side with their guy no matter what.
And that's all that's telling you, I think.
And Trump kind of toys with people's emotions a little bit.
Like in an interview last week with Hannity, he said while his campaign did not win the
2020 election, he added, but let's see what happens on that.
What do you mean?
Let's see what happens on that.
Yeah.
Nothing's going to happen on that.
Yeah.
The best way for Donald Trump to be reinstated as president of the United States is to run in 2024 and win.
And win.
Right?
Like that is the overwhelming favorite to get the nomination if he decides to run.
And then he would be in a battle with Joe Biden again and he'd have a chance of winning it.
Yes.
That is a legitimate chance.
The way that Donald Trump could actually be president.
But it won't happen this year or next year or the year after that or the year after that.
But the year after that is when he'd run again and could win.
And then in 2025, you know, on January 20th, he could be sworn in again.
That's the only way this can really happen constitutionally.
So, you know, is it fun to think, well, gosh, he's going to get in in August like they've been saying.
Yeah, it's kind of fun to fantasize about that.
It's just not going to happen because it can't, you know.
they did a straw poll at the Western Conservative Conference.
Do you see the results of that?
Do you read about this?
You see this in the paper today?
You read about this?
Ron DeSantis beat out Donald Trump ever so slightly.
Apparently you can vote for more than one person.
And so he got, DeSantis got 74.1%.
Trump got 71.4%.
So they were neck.
Basically, this is a question of whether you think this nominee would be acceptable to you.
Yeah. And either one of them would.
It's not entirely shocking that someone like Ron DeSantis would have a higher number than Trump on that because people who like Trump like DeSantis.
And there's some people who don't like Trump and are not going to like Trump.
And Desantis, people call him a professionalized version of Trump, right?
Where he's like more of, he's got more of that like.
More traditional.
Yeah, more traditional politician stuff.
But still enough of Trump in him to be appealing.
Yeah.
He likes to fight with the media.
He likes the kind of big splashy stuff that the base.
likes, you know, there's a lot of similarities there as well. And they seem to like each other.
Yeah. So it's not shocking, but it is interesting. I mean, again, that's not how you vote.
You don't get to vote for like all. I'd like all these people who would be acceptable to me is
not how we vote. You have to pick one. And again, that comes down to passion where Donald Trump
does oh so well. But the top 10 looked like this. Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz.
It's kind of surprised Cruz was still third.
Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott at number five.
Then you had Christy Knoem and Tom Cotton tied.
And then Rand Paul, Donald Trump Jr.
And Dan Crenshaw and Mike Pence.
I think Mike Pence kind of pissed some people off.
Because he was near the top of this list before, but not now.
Now he's down at number 10.
Very interesting.
Going to the cruise thing for a second,
really he's done an amazing job he's done like a Taylor Swift I used to be country and now
I'm pop music star thing here he's really reborn as a totally different as a Trump guy I mean
he was a guy who the Trump fans hated in I mean believe me as a guy who really liked
Ted Cruz and when as you know we went out we followed him on the campaign a couple times
we covered him we talked to him endlessly he I mean I mean
mean, to tell you that he was the most despised man in the universe to anyone who like Donald
Trump would be an understatement. I mean, at one point, they hated him. And he in a period of
a couple years was able to transition from like the most hated guy to one of the most loved.
Yeah. I really, it really is incredible. I mean, I, I don't know what that. I'm not sure exactly
what that says. It might just be that the audience, you know, the voters weren't as, they didn't
really hate him as much back then. They were just mad at him at that moment. And, you know, he was
able to convince them he really is on their side. You know, it could just be that. But it is,
I don't, I can't remember a lot of examples of, of what he's been able to accomplish there
with, with the base. It's, it's been pretty impressive as a political effort. Because you would,
you know, during the campaign, you would say he was anti-Trump.
right? Yeah, certainly he was running against him. He's actively trying to stop him from being president.
Yes. But now I think you'd call him a Trump ally. Oh, totally. I mean, Trump endorsed him.
Yeah. Right. For his race. They, they were very, very friendly throughout the 2020 race. And like,
Cruz is not unique in that way. There was a lot of people who went through that transition between 2016 and 2020.
I think what I find amazing about it, though, is like, Cruz was really the,
example of that person.
Like he would, I mean, you know, to the point of like, you know, they outwardly hated each
other.
I mean, Donald Trump was saying his dad killed Kennedy.
They were at the point where I don't know how it could have got worse.
And that's, I mean, he was basically calling his wife ugly, right?
Remember this?
We were at that point in the relationship.
That's not a good point in a relationship.
And they were able to patch things up.
And look, there's bigger issues, right?
than personal insults.
The country's on the line here.
And I think, you know, a couple of adults can make that determination and move past things.
But it is, it's really been an incredible few years here to watch that transition occur.
Yeah.
It really has.
And really, I think now Cruz is one of the guys who you'd look at and say if, again, I don't think anyone has a chance if Donald Trump runs.
Oh, I don't either.
So right off the bat, I mean, if Donald Trump decides to run, it's over, including Descentus, including Cruz, any of them.
him. Right. But if Donald Trump decides not to run, who, let's just say, Trump is going to probably
endorse someone, right? Who's he going to endorse? Assuming, right, that it's not Ivanka Trump or
Donald Trump Jr., which I don't, I don't necessarily think is in the cards at this point.
If it's not one of his kids, one of his family members that he'd obviously be supporting,
who would it be? And at this point, it could be cruise over DeSantis. I mean, those would be the
top two guys you'd think.
though. Definitely. Yeah, one of the other.
He certainly wouldn't go with, I don't think he'd endorse Pompeo.
Although he's, Pompeo, they have a good relationship, I think. Yeah, they do. And I just don't think
Pompeo, and I like Pompeo generally speaking. We liked him when he was a congressman, you know,
he doesn't seem to me to be the dynamic, uh, speaker and communicator that you'd necessarily
think is going to win a presidential election. Right. And he's not, he was never like, I don't think a
huge, hugely high on the passion list for Trump supporters. He was always good and I think people
liked him, but he was never like, you know, I live and die with the Mike Pompeo, you know,
way of way of doing business. I don't think there was ever that, ever that excitement from the
base where DeSantis has that excitement. You know, I talk everyone I talk to when whenever we do,
you know, talk about what's coming up in 2024, people act like DeSantis is a sure thing. I would,
I would have a little bit of caution on that in that like we are far away from the election.
Number one, you have the possibility of Donald Trump running, which again, I think means that
Ron DeSantis is not probably running and probably almost no one is running.
Right.
Like he's just going to clear the field if he decides to run.
Now, Desantis could be his VP, people like the Trump, DeSantis possibility.
But DeSantis is also, let me ask you this, just as an observer, Pat.
You're watching these things.
You don't care about the outcome.
You're just a political observer here for a moment.
Is Descentus peaking too early?
Uh, I wonder.
You know, he's done a lot of really big, splashy things that have excited the base.
And I look, I like what he's done.
I'm a, I like DeSantis.
I'm a fan of the way he's handled COVID.
Like, I'm, I'm wondering, though, like, it's hard to maintain this pace for multiple years.
Yeah, for three more years.
Three more years.
I mean, the things he's doing like these kind of big, splashy things where it's like,
Like, you know, we're taking on big tech and we're putting prayer in schools and we're, you know, no COVID vaccines and vaccine passports on cruise ships and all these things that the base obviously is a fan of.
Big sort of like big announcements, these big policies.
And Abbott has done a bunch of them here as well in Texas.
You can't keep that pace up.
You can't do two of those a week until 2024.
There's going to.
I mean, there's just not enough laws.
Yeah.
Thankfully.
So I wonder if.
if he's peaking too early or is, you know, maybe not.
Maybe you have to just get out ahead of this stuff and see where things take him.
I think, you know, Desantis is a smart guy, a young guy, he's energetic.
But, I mean, do you think there's anything to that?
Is that something you'd be, if you were his advisor?
I'd be concerned about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you're right.
He's at the top of the heap now, but that's hard to maintain.
3,8-727-B-E-C-K.
It's bat and stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K.
Is it me or has Dr. St. Anthony Fauci's narcissism
gotten even more out of control?
The guy is, first of all, he says he is science.
So, I mean, there's no arguing with him, right?
He's, for some reason, gotten super sensitive lately.
And maybe it's because he knows he lied and people are
calling him on it and he didn't like it.
So he's trying to put it back on everybody else for how dare you, how dare you question me?
I am science kind of thing.
Yeah.
He's been doing a lot of that lately.
A lot.
He was talking to Kara Swish, Swisher, on Tkara's podcast, which, you know, who doesn't listen to that?
It's my favorite Kara based podcast.
Is it?
Yes.
It's my third favorite Kara based, yeah.
but he proclaimed that all of his critics are all bad faith partisans unfairly attacking him.
Wow.
And then he started talking in third person, which I love.
You know there's not a problem when you start referring to yourself in third person.
He said, no, we're not kidding.
Fauci does have blood on his hands.
Not only was his handling of the pandemic deeply politicized, shown even more so by the release of his email.
but now
Fauci
Let's see
Where was it
that he was referring
to himself in third person
Yeah, I'll have to find that
But he is
He is basically
How dare you question me
On anything
Regarding
The way I've handled
This particular pandemic
Yeah I just
I don't know why anyone thinks
This is an effective tactic
You know even if you just say look
Yeah
I screwed some stuff up
I did some stuff I wish I didn't
But then you've admitted that you've made mistakes.
Right.
And I guess you can't do that now.
Can't do it.
And to be fair, if he did admit it, then people would hammer him for the mistake.
Like, there's just not, I mean, he's not in a position to win at this point.
That's probably true.
Maybe just get off TV for five minutes.
Maybe something like that.
Yeah.
As an idea.
This is the Glenn Back program.
Our sponsor, this half hour is, uh, is, of course, our friends at Rough Greens.
Rough Greens has been, I want to say feeding our dogs, but that's not exactly
right. It's not a dog food. It is something you sprinkle on top of the dog food. So it makes,
it's a difference between my dogs being excited to eat or, you know, walking up to the bowl and
sniffing and then walking away and looking at you and like, why isn't the rough greens on here right now?
Yeah, that's what I want. Um, it's very good for them. It's chuck full of vitamins, minerals,
probiotics, omega oils, all the stuff that your dog, you know, needs. Um, but really when you put it
on top of the food, you'll realize how much they love it
because they go for it. And I guess it's
because it's something that their bodies
actually really crave.
And you're giving them something
that's really healthy. Unlike human beings,
when you need food and it's
actually healthy, it's the stuff you avoid.
Apparently dogs don't do that.
But the good thing is you can get a free bag of rough greens

Maybe the most
un-American
unconstitutional
situation
thus far
you
I think we've touched
on this
but it's been
several months now
and $85 million
still resides with the FBI
rather than American citizens
I will tell you about a civil asset forfeiture story
that just keeps getting worse all the time
coming up in 60 seconds
So yesterday I had the most stereotypical
Father's Day humanly possible
I actually did fall asleep
watching golf on television.
So the most standard thing you could possibly do.
And then in addition to that, we grilled out.
That's what you do on Father's Day.
Did a little grilling out, did a little fall in asleep watching golf.
If you want to grill out though and do it right, you need to have a rec tech.
You can control the whole thing from inside.
So you can be like, well, I don't know if I would recommend falling asleep while using
Rec Tech. But you can control it from inside the air, in the house, in the air conditioning,
on your phone, get the exact temperature that you want for your grill. And then you're out there
enjoying the food and you get to kind of celebrate the indoor air conditioning and golf time
inside while all that stuff is happening. You can't beat that. It's really amazing. Follow rec tech
on all their social media and sign up for their newsletter. It's RECD.

All right.
Hundreds of people who store valuables
in a safe deposit box
may never see their cash again
or their precious metals
or their heirlooms
unless a federal judge
finally intervenes this week.
Now, a couple of months ago, we told you about this
seizure from the
at the U.S. private vaults, the U.S. PV.
So some families and some private citizens have gotten together to sue the government for the contents of about 800 deposit boxes that were taken.
Everything in them was just taken by the FBI in March in a raid of the storage provider.
And the provider was indicted for conspiracy to sell drugs and launder money.
Now, none of these other Americans who had their valuables in these safety deposit boxes has been charged with anything.
And some of them have hundreds of thousands, if not into the millions, in these safety deposit boxes.
Now, if you don't trust a bank, where are you going to put your money?
Probably one of the likely places would be a safety deposit box thinking, okay, it's going to be safe here.
No, not from the FBI.
Not from the federal government.
I mean, who would have thought that the FBI would pull off the law?
largest bank heist in American history.
That's just unconscionable.
How can this stand?
And it does time after time.
But usually this involves, you know, people traveling.
Like you're on the freeway.
You get pulled over by state police.
They, for some reason, decide to search your vehicle and do so.
And find 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 in cash.
And they just take it.
Or you're at the airport and the TSA conference.
It's suffocates it. Both of those situations have happened many, many times. This is the first one I've known of where, you know, you just got your valuables put in a safe place. And the FBI comes and takes it anyway. Even if you're not accused of a crime. They're not accused of anything.
Like, that should be the standard to me. Not even charged. You could say all you want. I'm going to put my stuff in a safe place. However, if you are convicted of a crime and.
you know, deemed that these were ill-gotten gains, right?
Like, your money's never in a safe place, right?
Like, that's the legal system.
Right.
If you get convicted of a crime, they may take your stuff,
especially if you got them through that, that, you know,
some illegal way.
But to do it when you're not even convicted is completely,
it's criminal to me.
When you're not accused.
Yeah.
Like, that's just an allegation of wrongdoing here.
It's just theft.
It's straight up theft
And it's grand larceny
I mean this is a lot of money they're taken from people
The asset list in the seizure notice
discloses more than a dozen boxes
containing more than a million dollars each
In cash and many more in six figures
Others list jewelry, collectible coins, gold and silver, precious items
And so
people have millions of dollars worth of things in these safety.
That's what a safety deposit box is for, right?
You put valuables in it, stuff that you want to be kept safe.
And you never think, well, if the FBI raids the owner of this place, I'm going to lose all my money.
You would never think that.
Why?
Because this is the United States of America, right?
I don't even know that there's precedent for this in the Soviet Union.
I mean, maybe, maybe they did this kind of stuff.
I don't know that people had that kind of wealth to be taken from them in the Soviet Union.
But there's no redress here.
They sue and they just tell you, nope, sorry, you can't have it.
So you just hope a federal judge finally intervenes and says,
give them back their money now or face the consequences.
but I don't know what your recourse is.
If the judge doesn't step in,
you're just out of everything you had saved up in these things.
It's really something else.
It's incredible.
It's incredible that this stuff happens routinely in the United States of America.
And it's also one of those things,
somewhat like critical race theory, right,
that has been going on over the past couple of months.
When people realize what this is,
they generally speaking are on the right side of the issue.
You know, like, people, people look, oh, I'm being trained in my office and they're saying, I should disavow my whiteness.
You know, even not only white people, but African Americans and Hispanics and everybody else looks at this and say, okay, that's just racism repackaged.
Right.
Like, that's critical race theory, which is a catch-all at this point and probably, you know, catches too much at times.
but the bottom line is people can inherently
recognize that it's wrong
without even thinking about it.
You know, the same thing with like, hey,
I went to watch my daughter's track meet this weekend
and she lost by 15 lengths to a boy.
Right?
Like, you know, people just inherently can say,
all right, this is wrong.
And when people are awakened to this type of thing,
to use the woke terminology,
they are generally speaking on the right side of it.
Yeah, they're generally outraged.
Right?
They're outraged either way.
I think the same thing exists with this.
When it comes to this theft, this is really theft.
And it's happened to tons of people.
People who haven't even been accused of crimes having their livelihoods,
their money taken away from them for absolutely no reason at all.
I don't know how you could be okay with it, really.
And maybe you just, you think, ah, they're rich people.
Whatever, I don't care what happens to them.
But some of these clients are not wealthy.
Two new clients have just been added to the amended complaint.
They already, you know, they had a lot of the people already on the complaint.
Now they've got other clients like this couple who was storing $2,000, $2,000 in cash and $20,000 in silver.
So a total of $22,000, it's their nest-eastern.
for retirement.
$22,000?
That's pretty modest.
And now the FBI has confiscated that and they don't have that retirement nest fund, nest egg.
They got a telecommunications executive that just jumped on board.
He had $100,000 worth of gold and $63,000 in cash intended as a rainy day fund.
Just taken from it.
Just taken.
And again, remember, no charges against any of these.
people have been filed. Now he's not the guy, because you say telecommunications executive,
he's not the guy that came up with robocalls, did he? Because if that's him, then he deserves all.
It's all, it should be taken. As far as I know. Now, that's not constitutional still, but I still
would root for it in a big way. No, I mean, how many, this is happening so much. We've talked
about this, this, there's a guy in Chicago who was, he worked on cars. His livelihood was he
worked on cars. He would go help out people.
and sometimes he'd come off away from where he worked.
He had this customer who came in,
who had the car,
brought it in, dropped the car off,
needed to go back to work.
So as a business owner trying to help his customers,
he drove the guy back to work.
In the process of driving them back to work,
they got pulled over,
and the passenger in the car had drugs in his pocket.
Now, no one accused the driver who was just a mechanic of being responsible for the drugs.
There was never accused of a crime at all.
But it took his car.
In the back of his car was all of his equipment to help people fix their cars.
So he lost his tools.
He lost his car for years.
And they kept finding him to get his own car out of being impounded.
based on nothing.
He had done nothing wrong.
They didn't even,
it wasn't like a bad accusation.
It's hard to communicate
how ridiculous this is
because it wasn't like they said,
oh, he was really responsible
for the drugs.
We know it with no evidence.
That would be bad enough.
They weren't even saying he was responsible.
They weren't saying he was responsible.
They weren't saying,
oh, you guys are really hiding it.
This is a drug operation.
None of that.
They knew he was innocent.
They knew it.
And they still find this guy
tens of thousands.
of dollars. He's a working guy. Man, he doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to get his
car out from impound. And all of his tools, it ruined his business. It ruined his life. And why?
Unreal. It's unbelievable. Because they, law enforcement agencies want the ability to confiscate
this so that they can fight the war on drugs. That's what they, that's their excuse. And they like
the money that comes along with this. They love the money that comes along with it. And look, I,
as pro police as they come.
But you've got to be able to convict
a person of something if you're going
to take their stuff. Not just charge
but convict them
before you confiscate their property.
Yeah. And they've now
gone to the place where they're evading
these bans. So
people learn about
this civil asset forfeiture and they're
like, this is wrong. This is America. This should
not happen. So many states have now
gone to the point where they've passed
laws saying you can't do this without
conviction or at least an accusation of wrongdoing seems to make a lot of sense.
But there's a hole in these laws where if they go to, like basically there's a hole that
says if you work with the federal government.
So let's say the federal government is in the middle.
An agency is going through.
They're in the middle of an investigation.
And they need assistance from the state.
If it goes through the federal government and they do the civil asset forfeiture thing,
the state gets to keep, you know, I think it's 80%
80% of the money.
Yeah.
Right.
Yep.
So what these states are doing that have bans on civil asset forfeiture is they're
taking the investigation all the way up to the point where they're going to seize the stuff.
And then they're like, oh, we need help from the feds.
So the feds come in.
They take over the investigation, actually sees it and sees the property.
And then the state gets 80% of the money anyway.
This is how they're getting around.
these bans. This is something that is blatantly wrong. And it's not just in liberal states either.
This is happening in Texas, in Utah. Texas is actually really bad. Really bad.
Yeah. And what was the figure we had? I think last week, it was $20 billion, I believe, that's been confiscated in the last 10 years.
20 billion. So it's like $2 billion a year. Two billion dollars? And you,
Most of these people, if not all of them are not even charged with a crime.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
And look, look, they do get drug dealers.
They do.
And they can point, you know, to, police can come to you and say, look, this is a really
valuable thing because if we wait until they're convicted, you know, then they're
going to find a way to hide all this money and we're not going to get any of it, which is
understandable.
And there's legitimate argument to be made there.
However, this is the type of place that's that, that is innocent until proven guilty.
That's the basis of our system.
So you err on the side of letting guilty people get away with certain things if it's going to protect innocent people.
Exactly.
That's how far.
We go that far normally.
And we've given up on that with civil asset forfeiture.
That's not, it's not good.
And I will say the only reason I think people care about this so little is because the name is so boring.
Civil asset forfeiture is the least sexy thing.
the world. It should be called federal theft of private citizens' property.
Like, you need something catchy. Maybe that would get somebody's attention. You need something
catching. Triple-8-727 PECK.

The Biden administration.
want you to support or want you to report radicalized friends and family members, which is, yeah, that's great.
It reminds me of that.
See something, say something time period of the right after the Patriot Act was enacted and you were supposed to be watching your neighbors for suspicious activity and then reporting them.
Well, Biden's administration has announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report.
radicalized friends and family to the government
in an effort to fight domestic terrorism
because we all know that there's a whole bunch of white supremacists
lurking in neighborhoods all over America.
How many of you have in your neighborhood?
I believe 11.
11th?
Yeah.
That's probably a small number.
I'll bet that's odd on the conservative side.
Yeah, that's true.
In a conversation with reporters,
one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping
politically fueled violence before it starts.
So we're going to do future crimes here.
We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address
concerning or threatening behavior before the violence occurs.
The official cited the Department of Homeland Securities.
If you see something, say something campaign, which was so great and so successful,
narc on your neighbors.
It really works well.
Ask Germans.
I love it.
They love it.
This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or coworkers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence.
Biden began his presidency with a stark warning in his inauguration speech about the rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism.
that we must confront and we will defeat.
I can't tell you the number of white supremacists that I run into on a daily basis.
It's just...
Well, all of them.
All of the white people.
All of the white people that I run into.
Have you seen any white people today?
White supremacists.
Yes.
That's how this works.
Thank you.
And are they all radicals?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Most of them are on the right.
So you know they're radicals.
Yeah.
That's how it's a great way to do this because there was this idea that you had to prove that
someone was a racist, was a white supremacist with evidence.
And now we've got, we've passed that.
We no longer need to do that.
We just need to see that they're white and we know.
And you know.
You know that they're, that they're, uh, racists because of their skin color.
We can generalize.
And this is a theory that people who might not understand this.
This is a highly advanced theory.
But what we could do is we could generalize, uh, based on skin color.
And that's good.
Whenever you can take a skin color and take,
certain characteristics you assign to that skin color generally.
Like you would stereotype.
Yes, that's perfect.
Group of people based on their race.
And you'd assume things about them, usually negative.
Almost always negative.
Yeah, you assume negative things about them because their skin color is a certain hue.
Right.
And then you know.
In this case, like a beige or peachish.
Casper-like tone to it.
And then you know these bad things apply to them, not because they've actually done them,
but because their skin color looks a certain way.
And that is a great advancement in our society.
What a wonderful achievement that we've been able to come to this point
where we can tell so much about a person based just on the color of their skin.
And if you can lock up all those white people,
you know, with the beigeish,
Casper-like hue to their skin.
If you can lock them up before they do the radical thing,
then you just, I mean, you save civilization.
a lot of trouble.
It's the same thing with Asians, by the way.
This is a, because Asians, they seem to achieve too much.
And the only way they could do that is Asian supremacy.
And look, some of them look maybe white.
I will tell you this.
What I learned a while ago was that Asian intelligence comes through white supremacy.
It does.
Yeah.
I've heard that.
Yeah.
And it does seem like it does.
It does.
So, so it solves part of the same problem.
We're doing a, we're doing a great job here with this country.
Oh my God. We're doing a great job.
Aren't we, though?
We solved so many issues just by making lots of decisions based on skin color.
Who thought it could be that easy?
But there it is.
We're back there again.
Good job, America.
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program, Triple-8-727.
B-E-C-K.
A couple of Republicans.
In fact, several Republicans, are calling for President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive
assessment?
What?
why the hate
why where's that coming from
he does not need
a cognitive assessment
we know exactly what the abilities are and they're low
that's what we does not need to be assessed
we've seen him operate in public
in a letter dated June 17
Jackson and his colleagues noted
Biden agreed to such an assessment
and detailed several examples
of where Biden's mental decline
and forgetfulness have become more
apparent over the past 18 months. Oh, I'll not hear about it. I will not hear of it.
In March, I love this. He forgot the names of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and the
defense secretary. Do you remember that moment? I think I might have that moment here somewhere.
That's not that many people, though. Do you really need to know the names of all the people you work with?
No, no. You know, you get not all of them. Right.
Or some of them.
Do you need to know any of the names of the people you work with?
I think the answer to that is no.
Here's one of those circumstances.
And I want to thank the former general.
I keep calling him general, my guy who runs that outfit over there.
That's good.
That's good.
That's sharp.
That tells you, a guy knows what he's talking about.
He knows that there's a person who runs that outfit over there.
You can't remember the name of the outfit, which is the Pentagon.
he can't remember the Department of Defense
and he can't remember this defense
secretary's name. And he knows
certain things about this person.
Like he was a general at one point
for example. Yes, he does. And he's saying
the things he knows about the person in
hopes it will
cue his brain to come up with his name
or where he works. And it's not working.
And it is not working.
So there was that.
There was misidentifying the time of day
and Democrat members
of Congress in February that
happened in May confused the dates of riding an Amtrak train and the death of his mother.
He botched the first line of the Declaration of Independence in March of 2020.
He's done that several times, actually.
He's messed up the Declaration of Independence.
I don't know how many times.
One of them was, you know the thing.
You know the thing, yeah.
Truth, justice, and fair, you know the thing.
And then another time it was, et cetera.
So he just got to the place where, oh, man, or et cetera.
And that was it.
Yeah.
And I've seen reporters now come out publicly and say, we've never seen an administration like this where the AIDS will shut down the president of the United States attempting to answer questions over and over and over again.
They'll go to him.
They'll ask him a question and they'll just say, stop.
His own aides will say, stop.
Like he's a kid running into the street.
Well, you were on vacation last week.
Did you see the time in Europe where he's under this big tent?
There's a bunch of reporters shouting at him under the tent.
And he's kind of shuffled along a little bit.
And he starts to stop and address some of the things.
Am I wearing pants?
Where's my pudding?
And Jill comes running.
and up, grabs him by the arm and pulls him away from everybody.
This is one of those things where we're just going to find out in five years or 10 years that he was completely lost.
Right.
And that he was medicated at times and that got him through some of these difficult situations.
But for the most part, he was just incapable of carrying out his responsibilities.
I definitely think there's going to come a time where we find this out.
Has to.
And again, the alternative.
is worse.
Kamala Harris, who is not having these problems, thankfully,
as an individual,
I don't want her running the show.
So Joe Biden,
even though I know he's a little on the slow side these days,
is a much better option for the United States of America
than letting Kamala run the show.
That being said, it's terrifying that our president is in this state.
And look, he's not, and when I say completely gone,
He's not completely gone in every moment.
As you point out, sometimes maybe he's medicated.
Maybe he's fine some of the time.
But clearly he has.
He has wires that do not touch each other anymore in the brain.
There's no question about that.
And they're like three inches away from each other now.
And the electricity does not bridge that gap.
It just doesn't happen.
Right.
So sure, is it embarrassing?
Is it sometimes even humorous when he comes out?
and he can't understand what he's saying.
You might say that.
But when he's in a meeting with Vladimir Putin,
God only knows what comes out of that.
What does he blurt out that he's not supposed to?
What can't he remember when he needs to remember?
Well, you had that weird situation and he admitted to it where,
I told him, I told Putin that there are 16 things.
We don't want you to attack.
And then everything else is fair.
game?
Everything else.
Plus, we gave you a list of the places
were vulnerable.
Right.
Please don't attack us there.
You shouldn't attack us there, okay?
We'd appreciate it.
Look, if you wouldn't do that.
Don't, don't, please.
We have one password for all of our computers,
but don't go after the nuclear.
Don't use that computer.
Don't do that one.
Now, it is one, two, three, four, five on all of them.
But don't use, you can use that
our financial system.
You can use it on our electricity grid, but please not our nuclear codes.
Okay, well, that should work out well.
Now, he said it was emergency, which I don't know what that means, really.
We can't, okay, so we're not supposed to hack your emergency.
Emergency, don't do that.
We're not supposed to hack transportation.
They're not supposed to hack.
I don't remember them all, but there were 16, and he laid it all out for him.
So Putin knows exactly where we're vulnerable right now.
and exactly where to attack.
Plus, we didn't say anything about any of the other infrastructure, so you can attack that
at will.
Yeah, go ahead.
Go after all of our private companies and their information.
What does that matter?
Yeah.
Some dumb private company and be some stupid bunch of our citizens, millions of our citizens
lose their identities.
Nah, who cares?
Don't come after our pipeline.
It seems to be what they were basically saying.
Like, okay, leave our infrastructure.
You just take what you need to take from everyone else.
you know, I mean, that's not, that's not, that's not the way you govern.
No.
Supposed to do.
No.
Look, I understand that, that some of the stuff can just get partisan and, and people just say, say bad things about the guy they don't like.
Look, I think Joe Biden is, if he were completely coherent, would still be a terrible president.
I'm not, I'm not hiding the fact that I think he sucks.
But go beyond this for a second.
Like, we did, you know, one of the first things we did, uh, uh, uh, one of the first things we did, uh,
merchandise-wise was on stew doesmerch.com, by the way.
You can go pick up your merch there.
We did a shirt based off of,
remember the Seinfeld episode where, you know,
George's dad is saying,
he's saying,
Serenity Now over and over again in the back of his car.
It's a very famous episode.
He's, Serenity now.
Every time he gets in trouble, he has a bad thought.
He just says, Serenity now!
That's what we did with Joe Biden.
Sinility now.
He's just in the back of a car.
Sinility now! Please bring the senility to me so I can govern.
That is not the place you want your country to be.
You don't want the leader to have to beg and scream in hopes that senility comes to visit him.
That is not, it's not a promising thing for our future.
And I do worry about it quite a bit.
I mean, the negative consequences coming out of that are an,
an unknown
a known unknown I believe
as Donald Rumsfeld used to say
we know it's possible
we just don't know how it's going to manifest itself
we know it's going to happen
we know the risk is there
we don't know what thing he's going to
blurt out what mistake he's going to make
what moment he needs
his engine to run
and it doesn't
and that's terrifying
can you imagine
you got this brutal
killer
across from you, sitting three feet from you,
and he's still got all his faculties.
And then you've got Joe Biden sitting there,
who is completely diminished in his abilities.
I mean, I wouldn't have had that great of confidence in him 30 years ago
because he's not the kind of guy, I think,
that you want dealing with heads of state who are enemies.
I don't think he's strong enough.
I don't think he has a right ideology.
But certainly now that his faculties are so diminished,
it is frightening what's going on between the two of them.
And you're going to leave him in there with that guy?
By yourselves?
By themselves?
I don't have any confidence that he can pull that off.
None.
And, you know, this is why we begged and pleaded during the election,
during the campaign,
I mean, this guy is not capable of handling this job.
And I think that's gotten even more clear to everyone.
But here we are.
And he's in the middle of negotiating details and treaties
and trying to tell world leaders that we're not going to put up with your nonsense
when he's just incapable of doing it.
When you can't even remember the name of your defense secretary.
And I want to thank the former.
general, I keep calling him general,
my guy who runs that outfit over there.
I want to make sure we thank the secretary
for all he's done to try to implement
what we just talked about.
But I can't remember his name,
but I want to thank whoever he is.
It's not exactly heartfelt.
And I think he used to be a general.
I keep calling him a general, but he's not one.
Sir, his name is
Captain Crunch. You're talking to a cereal box.
Is he the one who keeps making the mistake with all the berries?
Yes. Oops, all berries. I don't believe that you keep messing up like that.
At some point it happened on purpose. Right. I think that's what I, I think that after 30 years
of oops, all berries, I think that Captain is doing it on purpose. That's right, honey.
He's like a very terrorist or something
over there in Crunchville.
All right, AAA 727 B-E-C-K.
It's Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Triple-8-727-B-E-C-K.
NFL football player, Cole Beasley,
who's a Wes Welker-like slot receiver sort of guy.
Meaning he's white.
Meaning he's, yes, he's white, he's slow.
He's short.
on a football field and no one can explain it.
But he's really, he's really pretty darn good.
He is. He went to SMU, I believe, here in Texas.
And he's a, yeah, he's a good player.
He played for the Cowboys for a while.
He signed a big contract with the Bills.
So he's with the Bills now.
And the Bills are saying that if you don't get vaccinated, that could affect your,
your position here.
And so he is saying he's not getting vaccinated and he'll retire before he gets vaccinated.
It feels pretty strongly about it, I guess.
And I'm not sure if it's that he's nervous about the vaccine
or he's got some sort of principle against the vaccine.
I don't know.
He didn't really explain.
But he did say, I don't play for the money anymore.
That'd be nice.
Wouldn't that be nice?
That would be nice.
That would be great.
I don't work for the money anymore.
I don't need it.
I don't need it.
I just do it for fun.
That'd be great.
My family has been taken care of.
Find me, if you want.
My way of living and my values are more important to me than a dollar.
I'll be outside doing what I do.
I'll be out in public.
If you're scared of me, then steer clear or get vaccinated.
I may die of COVID, but I'd rather die actually living.
So he's saying, you know, if you're so worried about it, but you're vaccinated,
why would you worry about it?
And I think that's a pretty good point.
Isn't the vaccine supposed to protect you from people who have COVID?
That is the point of it.
It seems like it.
And look, it does.
I, my view, it does.
So I don't understand the message.
of this from the beginning.
I don't know why they've,
they've focused on people.
Like they're all,
everyone's always talking about,
how are we going to get these people vaccinated?
Look,
the,
the pandemic ends the day
everyone can get the vaccine and
they can choose whether to get it or not.
And,
you know,
we talked about the Dave Portnoy thing.
Maybe we'll play that coming up.
But it's like,
you know,
it's not over in the fact that there's still,
I mean,
I think 90 people died yesterday.
90.
Now,
we were at a point where.
Countrywide?
Yeah.
We were hitting 4,000 a day.
Yeah.
at one point.
Wow.
We're down to 90.
The lowest number since March 2020.
Now, that's not over, right?
People are still dying.
It sucks.
Like, we don't, you know, but overwhelmingly, these people are the people who didn't
get the vaccine.
And at some point, you have to say to people, like, if you don't want to get the vaccine,
okay, don't.
And by the way, the people who don't like the vaccine get to say to people who do
like it, because they get the vaccine if you want.
But, I mean, I think it's going to do these terrible things to you.
Right?
Like, at some point, you get to make your own decision as to what.
your risk tolerance is.
And I think we're at that point.
I think we're at that point.
And I think that point is absolutely when the vaccine is available to anyone who wants to get it for free, by the way, which it is right now.
Yep.
We're at that point.
We are.
And yes, there are risks, you know, at some point there could be, you know, variants.
There are all sorts of things you can come up with a million different scenarios.
But the bottom line is unless you want a society that does not operate unless there are zero deaths from anything, you're going to have to get.
to, you're going to have to set some sort of standard here.
And the standard is, like, we have something that's pretty not effective in this.
We, every since we started using it, our, you know, the deaths have fallen by over 90%.
And we just need to sit here and say, look, if Colby easily doesn't want to get it, she doesn't want to get it.
That's all.
Right.
You know, let people make their own freaking decisions.
If the Buffalo Bills are all vaccinated around him, what does it matter?
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
There's little to no risk, you know?
And even if you do get it, there's probably, you know, you're probably, you know,
you're probably not going to the hospital or anything like that.
But we just can't, we can't live in a sane society, apparently.
Apparently not.

Got some things on the COVID front.
We've got this Barstool Sports Dave Portnoye
celebrating the end of COVID-19.
And then they took him off a Twitter for it.
It's just so ridiculous.
The things that are going on right now, just unbelievable.
We'll get to that.
and much more in 60 seconds.
So when looking at the rest of 2021,
some market experts think it's pretty unlikely
that mortgage rates are going to stay down in the 2% range.
Do you think?
I don't know.
I kind of think that that's going to be everlasting.
It doesn't seem possible that rates are this low.
And with the amount of money we're spending right now,
just devaluing our currency,
you know this stuff is around the corner.
You know these rates are going to go up eventually.
So if you're looking to refinance the mortgage on your home,
maybe refinance the mortgage you already have,
maybe consolidate a loan with other debt from credit cards and all this other stuff.
This might be a great time to do it.
Why not look into that, like let's say right now?
You want to be saving as much money as possible every month.
I know I do.

It's Patton and Stu
for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program
AAA 727 BECK
the president of the EU.
Not a scary organization
at all.
I've always loved the
European Union. Haven't you?
Just the precursor to one
world government. It's just it's
awesome. And to hear
the president of the EU
explaining how you
in Europe can get your life
back to normal in that
German accent she has. That just
sounds so soothing to me.
Here's what she says
is important to get your life back
here. Here she comes.
Good morning. Good morning. How are you?
Good to see you.
Before Easter, we
promise to the Europeans that
we will do everything possible.
so that they can gain back some normality when planning for their well-deserved summer holidays.
So on Monday, the European Parliament and the European Council signed the regulation for the EU Digital COVID certificate.
It is applicable from the 1st of July on, but if you want to as a member state, you can sign up early voluntarily.
And that's what Belgium did.
Well, Belgium allows it as of today to travel with a certificate, and they issue these certificates.
And here is mine.
So everyone who is fully vaccinated or tested negative or has recovered from COVID can get one.
And we have right now 15 member states that have already signed up.
and from the 1st of July, all 27 member states have to apply these EU digital certificates for the COVID.
I am planning now to start my tour through 27 member states for the next generation EU, our recovery and resilient plan.
And I'm very curious to test and to see how this certificate will work.
Thank you.
That's wonderful.
All right.
That's great.
She held hers up.
Can I just take a picture of that?
that and use hers?
Yes.
Is that okay?
Yes.
That's fine.
That's fine.
So essentially what she's saying is, uh, you must have your papers.
There'll be digital, but you must have some.
The other ways of making you have your papers.
Please.
That's great.
I love it.
She said please.
It did.
That's nice.
I don't think she did actually say please.
I think I gave her too much credit there.
Ursula von.
Ursula Gertrude von der Leyen.
I'll say too.
Like, you know, there's been this thing where in entertainment, they haven't wanted to use, like,
let's say, Muslims as villains because, you know, as you know, Pat, Americans would immediately
just start killing Muslims in the streets if they saw, you know, a villain on 24 was actually
Muslim and not backed by some German.
It's always a German or a Serbian.
or Serbian.
You can be Serbian.
Yes.
To be a victim on TV.
To be the villain on TV, you have to be Serbian or German.
Well, I don't know.
Now, look, the Germans did a lot.
They did.
To earn some of the criticism.
But it's been so long since I've seen a villain without a Russian or German accent.
Whenever I hear it, I just assume they're a villain.
You've done the reverse.
You've told me, you've tried so hard to make me not want to be
manipulated into thinking that Muslims could possibly be terrorists, that now you made me believe all Serbians are terrorists and all Germans.
All of them.
Yep.
It's sad.
And will forever be.
It's always going to be that way.
You could be the same.
The nicest things in the world with that accent.
And it's going to sound creepy in some way.
Now, I think the heavy lifting in this front was done by a man named Adolf long ago.
But there is something just about that accent.
Eat anter farfing nougin!
You've just done a Volkswagen commercial,
but it sounds like you're threatening genocide, doesn't it?
By the way, don't look back at the history of Volkswagen.
So, definitely don't look back at that.
You're not going to want to know that.
But enjoy your Mep, Mip, Karr.
It is a, it is a, look, a country.
certainly with their own sovereignty has the right to require whatever they want.
I mean, frankly, if there are countries that do all sorts of really terrible things
with not letting people in for tourism, they can do really whatever they want on that front
as a sovereign nation, as we would protect our right to do whatever we want.
though you think
we have something in common
with the Western world
right like we're supposed to have some sort of shared
principle structure
and you know it does make you
nervous when Germans go down this road
it hasn't turned out well in the past right
and when Europe as a whole
is going down that road it's a little
it's a little unnerving
I'd say and it makes you wonder
if this administration will do
the same thing because
this administration is definitely
influenced by European movements.
I mean, the Democrats are all about the European socialism.
They love it.
Yeah.
And it's weird.
Like the vaccine passport thing, there are things, there are real reasons to fear elements
of that.
International visitors.
I mean, we banned all visitors from under the Trump administration from many countries,
right?
Right.
Because it's our freaking sovereign right to do so.
and we have that right.
And if we want to say we don't want anyone,
like for example, Brazil has been in a nonstop catastrophe from COVID for a very long time.
And we've said,
maybe we don't want any Brazilian tourism at the moment.
I think that's totally justifiable.
Yeah.
Right.
So in some ways,
I guess you could,
they blocked almost all travel to Europe for,
for a long time from outside of it.
And this is their way of supposedly opening things up.
They have the right to.
do that. I mean, I just don't know if it makes a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things.
And it's also going to be completely unmanageable. You know, I went on a flight, you know,
when there was more of a, uh, active COVID situation. This is I guess late last year, mid,
mid to late last year. And there was, I went to a state that had, uh, a quarantine for outside
visitors. And it was one of the first flights I took. And I was supposed to when I flew in, you know,
I guess locked myself in a house for God knows how long.
Two weeks, 14 days or whatever.
I wasn't even going for two weeks.
I was only going for a few days.
It's like, well, I mean, basically you're saying I have to go directly from the airport
to a house and stay inside the house for the entire trip.
And are you saying that you didn't do that?
No, of course not.
That's not what I'm saying.
But I did have, I was traveling with a companion who decided not to do that.
Really?
Yeah.
I thought it to be very shocking that they would, they would because.
Now, you didn't follow suit and leave.
Exactly by the book.
So I want to make sure that part is on the air.
Good.
On record.
Because what state was this?
It was a, I can't remember the state, Pat.
You can't remember the state?
Oh, gosh, it was a state.
It was one of the states.
That I know.
It was in the United States.
One of the states.
Was it one of the contiguous states?
It was one of the contiguous states.
Okay.
I believe it was on the eastern half of the United States.
That's all I remember.
Like a New York or Connecticut kind of state.
Yeah.
We should really leave my experience.
Who cares about what I did?
Let me tell you about my companion.
All right. What's your companion do? So my companion was wondering what, like, this situation doesn't make any sense. What do you mean? How are you going to tell me? How are you going to enforce the idea? This is what my companion was saying. How are you going to enforce a quarantine from someone who's visiting as a U.S. citizen inside the United States? Like, are you a good question? Are you carding everyone everywhere they go? Obviously not.
Right? There's a lot of...
So you were just supposed to voluntarily do this.
Yeah. So you basically...
Nobody checked up on you.
You get off the plane and there's a person there with a clipboard and says,
yes.
Where are you staying?
It's interesting, as my companion realized, if you just walk by that person,
they don't know if you're from that state in the contiguous states or not.
They just walked...
You kind of walked right by that person.
So you just followed your companion's lead on that?
No, I, I, of course, signed up.
I reported.
But my companion did.
not.
Wow.
And I, you know, my companions are rebel.
Companions very rebellious.
And my companion looked though at the law before this trip.
Uh-huh.
And realized that the, I think the fine was $500 if you were to get caught.
Now, what, again, what, I don't do these things.
But this companion said, what exactly, let's think about the risk profile here.
You could either not have the trip that you're taking because you're stuck inside a house and can't do anything the entire time.
or you could risk a $500 fine.
Now, a $500 fine is not nothing.
That's $500.
But what has to happen for you to get fined $500?
You have to, I guess, have a separate interaction with the police.
Like maybe if you were to get pulled over, maybe if you started a bar fight, like,
they're going to card you realize you should have been quarantined and then add on a $500 fine,
I guess, would be how this would happen?
I can't even, I don't even know how it would happen.
That would be bad for me because I start so many bar fights.
huge bar fight guys.
Why you go on vacation is to start bar fights.
Nothing better than a good old fashioned bar fight.
That's Pat Gray.
Yeah.
You know?
It's me.
So I know my companion thought to themselves like, what if I just continue to
keep walking here and don't alert them of my, my status.
My status in the state.
And everything worked out fine for my companion.
I felt stupid because I was inside the whole time.
And they went out and did whatever they wanted.
And everything turned out.
fine.
But I, of course, was it quarantine?
Was it quarantine?
Yeah.
If I even took the flight.
You know, I could have been a dream.
I think only my companion went now that I think about it.
I may not have gone on this trip at all.
That's really weird.
Yeah.
No, it's a crazy.
It was a crazy time.
Were you feverish during this particular time?
Maybe you had COVID while you were traveling.
You know what?
I know I didn't.
No.
That I do know because I got it later.
But it is one of those things where these things are, like the mask mandate in Texas was
an example of this.
I stand by my belief to this day
that literally zero people
in the state of Texas were actually fined under the mask mandate.
I think the number is zero.
And I think that was by design.
By design.
I think that it was like, hey, mask mandate.
And it's like,
well, how are we going to reinforce this?
We're not.
We're not going to.
We want people to know that we think they should wear them,
but we're not actually going to do anything.
Now, private businesses can do what they want to do.
Some towns, I believe,
probably did find them under their town or county.
statute that may have happened.
But as far as a statewide mandate,
it was a man,
it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a,
it was a, it was a, it was a, a, it was a, a mineo, a mandate and
name only. Yeah. Uh, and like,
that doesn't mean that I, I liked it.
But you see these things, people do it all the time. I still see
signs on buildings here, like,
masks strongly recommended. And then you go in there and literally no
nobody has a mask on, nobody has a mask on,
they're wearing them. It's like, they just want to,
to say they're doing something at this point.
You know, is the, is the pandemic over?
Oh, people are still dying. You should be careful,
especially if you haven't been vaccinated, you should be careful.
But on the other side of that is as a society right now,
we are at a point in which people can take these treatments.
Maybe you believe it's hydroxychloroquine, right?
Then you take on the risk of taking hydroxychloroquine,
which is, I mean, risk-wise, I think very minimal,
whether how much it will do,
it does seem to help in certain circumstances.
Maybe that's what you think it is.
The bottom line is, all of these treatments are available for,
everyone now.
So we are at the, that's what my definition of over is.
Right?
Yeah.
There's a way for people to avoid this if they want to avoid it.
They don't have to avoid it.
But they, if they want to avoid it, they can avoid it in most circumstances.
And you're not going to have zero deaths.
It's going to take a long time to get to zero.
Yeah, but I mean from $4,000 a day to $90.
And I think the average is something like $300 now.
now the flu is like 100 a day so if we're down to i mean we did 90 yesterday now 100 a day spread
over an entire year right so you're saying maybe 30 or 40 000 365 you know 365 days so say
36,500 deaths for the flu is a is a median number probably an average number yeah so except
it's been eradicated since covid yeah i mean it's been almost none the last year yeah but okay
all right so that is something that we have all sort of
designated that we can go on with life in that scenario.
It sucks.
I keep thinking to myself,
like maybe we should,
instead of saying the flu is nothing,
maybe we should start considering a big issue,
right?
Like I think 36,000 people dying.
It's a lot.
It sucks.
Let's try to get that to zero too.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
But I mean, look, we have,
we don't have a treatment.
We don't have a 95% flu vaccine.
We do have several of when it comes to,
you know,
the products of Donald Trump's,
Operation Warp Speed.
And not that anyone in the media
will ever give him credit for it.
But we do have that.
We've had success with it.
And at some point, people get to make their own decisions.
They're big boys and girls.
You know?
And that's, I think, a fair definition of over.
Whether you can choose to get the virus or not
is a good definition of over.
AAA 727, BECK.
According to a recent study,
330 million people across 10 countries,
became victims of cybercrime just in the past year.
And another 55 million actually had their identity stolen 55 million.
That's insane.
This costs, of course, people money.
It also costs up, you know, a lot of their time.
Cybercrime victims collectively spent almost 2.7 billion hours trying to resolve their issues.
I don't want to deal with that.
It makes me glad that something like LifeLock is available.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are
affecting our lives. Every day we put our information at risk on the internet. LifeLock helps
detect a wide range of identity thefts and they'll send you alert. Plus you have access to a dedicated
restoration specialist if you become a victim. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor
all transactions at all businesses, but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock by Norton. Join now. Join now

10-second station, I think.
You know what hasn't worked real well is the Chinese vaccine.
That does not seem to be going well.
It's not going well in Chile where they're using it.
It's not going well in Indonesia.
In fact, 350 doctors and medical workers in Indonesia have caught COVID-19.
Dozens have been hospitalized since getting vaccinated?
Do you believe that the freaking Chinese, after the way they handled the outbreak of this thing?
And maybe it came from a lab, very possible, came from one of their labs as a screw up or worse.
And now they're providing the world with crappy vaccines to solve it.
It's incredible.
I mean, I hate when people say, and I do it sometimes.
Like, oh, you know, the vaccines have been successful.
Well, let's be careful here.
What's come out of the United States has been successful.
Yes.
What's come out of Great Britain, mostly successful.
but like maybe not quite as much.
Less sex successful than U.S.
But still pretty good.
Yeah.
The AstraZeneca seems been pretty good.
Yeah.
The Chinese one, even the Russian one has seemingly been pretty solid.
The Chinese, the two from Chinese, SinoVax SinoFarm have been not good.
They have not worked very well.
I mean, in some cases like only 50% or less.
Yeah.
Which again is not, might maybe it's helping on the margins.
It seems like it's, it does not.
I will say it does not seem like the immunity.
lasts very long.
No, no, it doesn't.
It seems like they, they have had real problems with that.
And a lot of these countries that embrace the Chinese technology are learning how that works.
That's so well.
Not so well.
So it's important.
That's why I think it's important to point out when you talk about, you might talk about
the vaccine, talk about it as the product of Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed because they
will not give him an ounce of credit for this.
In fact, they just blame him for everything.
When he deserves virtually all the credit.
For politicians, he deserves all of it, in my view.
Yes.
Along with the other, you know, the researchers and the.
Yeah, obviously.
Like the big pharmaceutical companies that produce these things deserve a lot of credit for
it too.
But he took all the red tape out.
He provided funds to spur this thing to get it going, the seed money, to get
everything started.
He's the one that cleared the path for them.
Yeah, you can overdo it by giving politicians credit for such things.
And there's a lot of factors.
But when it comes to what he could have done in that scenario, he did very well.
And now it's just like, it's just like Biden gets all of the credit for it.
I mean, look, Donald Trump, people talk about this all the time.
Like Donald Trump's anti-vaccine, how can that be possible?
The man is not anti-vaccine.
Operation Warp Speed.
And by the way, after having COVID, he still took the vaccine.
As he was leaving the White House, he still took it.
Right.
Why did he take it?
That's right.
I don't understand.
He still took it.
We do forget that.
That he actually got the vaccine in addition to pushing it forward.
Wow.
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn's back tomorrow morning.
Triple-8-727B-E-C-K.
Stu and I've just been ruminating on the fact that there's some strange things going on here with the vaccine.
because I think we all cheered when President Trump
cleared the way for this to happen, right?
Everybody wanted it.
It's a big part of his reelection campaign.
Huge.
And his claim that we're going to have a vaccine by the end of the year.
And the Democrats were apoplect.
Oh, you can't have a vaccine by the end of the year.
That's ridiculous.
You're insane.
And he did it.
They produced it.
Three American companies came.
up with it. You got the Pfizer, you have the Moderna, and you got Johnson and Johnson all coming up
with a vaccine within a year. Incredible. How did that become a bad thing then? I don't know.
It's weird. The way the politics have played out on it are very strange as well. And that like,
like, I'm generalizing overwhelmingly in that like the vast majority of every party is fine
with the vaccine. But I'm just when there is there is opposition everywhere. And vaccine
opposition has never been a very partisan issue. I mean, the most famous people in the United
States that oppose the vaccine are Jetty McCarthy. And Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey, when they were married
in particular. Yep. And in addition to that, RFK Jr. Oh, yeah. Big time leftists. Big time leftists.
I mean, hardcore leftists that have been running, you know, anti-vaccine stuff for a very long time. And like,
again, if that's you, that's whatever. You do, like, this is America. You get to choose what you want to do
with yourself, right?
Like, you should be able to choose.
So I'm, I'm not,
my body, my choice.
There you go.
Should certainly apply to vaccines.
Certainly should.
However, on the,
just think of the politics now for a moment here.
We have basically a lot of people who are saying the vaccine,
you got to get vaccinated,
got to get vaccinated.
A lot of them are Democrats.
And none of them will give Donald Trump any credit for it.
Not one ounce of credit.
For this coming across.
On the other hand,
you have a lot of people who.
really love Donald Trump who say the vaccine is bad, but won't give Donald Trump any blame,
which is very, it's very weird.
Like, it seems to me that if you think the vaccine is bad, you should think probably
Donald Trump was a bad precedent, right?
Like to the point of saying, like, here's a guy who pushed through, this thing I think is
really bad.
Certainly if Joe Biden came up with the vaccine and you thought it was bad, you'd give Joe Biden
blame.
I would, right?
I also, I think the vaccine has been good.
And I give Donald Trump credit for that.
And they keep saying like, well, he had no, he had no ability.
He had no plan to roll this out to people.
He had no plan.
What are you talking about?
He had over a million people a day being vaccinated when he left office.
Go back and watch the 60 minutes with the guy, the general, because they ran, he was a guy who was, you know, military experts on logistics.
They put a guy from the military in charge of logistics during the Trump administration.
They interviewed him on 60 minutes.
He went through the entire plan.
It was incredibly detailed, just what they talked about in 60 minutes.
All the incredible challenges of getting all this vaccine out as fast as possible to people,
making sure that everyone can get it who wants to get it.
All that stuff happened.
Even Fauci said, yeah, no, we had a plan.
Of course we had a plan.
They were just lying about this, the incoming administration.
And now Biden gets all the credit from the left in the media for their amazing job to get this done.
two-thirds of adults are vaccinated already
and we're
Donald Trump is sitting out of here in Florida
being like wait a minute like
you guys all said this couldn't happen
you had people like Kamala Harris
who were coming out saying if Donald Trump is involved
I'm not taking that vaccine that sounds terrible
like they were doing all the things
they're blaming the right for now
and you know Trump
who deserves an incredible
amount of credit for this
ending a pandemic
not just for the United States, but all around the world.
Yeah, it might be the best part of his legacy.
It might be the biggest thing he did in office because nobody else has pulled that off.
No other politician in the history of the world has been able to oversee from zero to vaccine in under a year.
Yeah.
The next closest vaccine to be developed and available.
distributed was
four years
and the mumps
yeah the mumps
was something like four years
10 and I think that's the next fastest
I don't even know that I would even say
it was fully distributed in four years
I think they came up with it in four years
I mean think about this path it's a miracle
you go back to we're in a pride month
I don't know if you've noticed that at any one of the
any building you've ever walked into
but we're in pride month right now
and I did a show on this right before
vacation in that there's still this belief
that Ronald Reagan
never said AIDS until
1987, never even said the word
AIDS. It's a lie. It's not true. Absolutely.
He increased funding by
incredible amounts for
research on AIDS throughout his
administration. And, you know, he
doubled or tripled it every year. Yeah.
Every year in office. It was incredible. I mean, like,
they poured money into this.
And you should also point out that none of the journalists
asked him any questions about AIDS throughout the entire
1984 campaign. Not one
question in any debate about
about AIDS. Because people forget, nobody talked about it.
until later.
They didn't understand it.
They didn't know what it was.
But the most fascinating part about this is it took them four years to find out and figure out what the virus was that was causing it.
Think about that in the COVID era for a second.
It took them not four years to come up with a vaccine.
It took them four years to figure out what the virus was.
They were just seeing people die.
And they're like, AIDS, I guess immune.
I don't know.
Like it's something with their immune system.
And who was head of the National Institute of Health at that time?
I'm trying to think.
I can't think of the name.
What's that guy's name?
Dr.
Faustphalian.
I can't remember.
It's not important to the story, obviously.
But it was hard, right?
Coming up and figuring these things out is really difficult.
To find out what the virus is, then come up with a solution for it, go through multiple rounds
of testing.
and get it fully distributed to the United States.
And by the way, we're at, I think, almost 90% now of people above 65 years of age have had the vaccine.
And that's really the main population we're talking about, right?
Yeah.
You know, there's people with associated comorbidities and stuff that are also important.
But, like, when you're talking about, it's been mostly the elderly people who have died from this disease.
And 90% almost, I think it's 88% have been vaccinated above that age group.
That's a, it's a freaking miracle.
It is.
It's a miracle that that's happened in a year.
It should,
there is nothing about the history of science that would say this could happen this quickly.
And Donald Trump gets zilch when it comes to credit for it.
Zilch.
He is, he is, he is, they act as if he never cared about anyone dying from this virus from day one.
Because they pull out some thing he said in February of 2020 where he didn't think it was a big deal.
No one thought it was going to be a big deal in February of 2020.
including Anthony Fauci.
Including Fauci.
You can quote from the same era
telling people in the United States
not only publicly,
but also in his private emails
that it's not really a big risk
right now for America.
Could turn into one,
but right now it's not a big risk.
So again, and this is,
I guess, typical with the press.
It's just interesting to see
how the supporters
and the people who are in opposition of Trump,
like, I mean, Trump,
you listen to Trump talk about the vaccine
and he wants credit for it.
You know, I mean, Donald,
Trump comes on, he's like, look, I did this incredible thing. Talk about it. Like, you know,
he likes that. And he deserves it. Yeah, he does. But, you know, he's, I think, conflicted because
I think a lot of his base is, you know, not so, not so enthused about the operation. And, you know,
they've paid attention to the side effects. And there's been a lot of coverage for, about the side
effects and whether or not 4,000 plus people have died, which is a pretty high number when you're talking
about vaccines.
Yeah, but again, when you look at the rates,
it's important to look at the rates.
People die all the time with or without COVID,
with or without vaccines, right?
And you look at the rates of overall death,
and the people who are in the vaccinated group
are dying at a lower rate, lower rate than normal.
Lower rate than normal.
That is what, I mean, and this is how...
What about the number of people that have grown tails?
That's a higher rate than normal.
It's a higher rate than normal.
Yes, there are way more tails.
And a third eye? Is that higher to?
Third eye is about average.
Yeah, about average.
Now, fourth eye, that's almost definitely the
Madonna vaccine.
Oh, wow.
If you have a fourth eye right now and you're like,
wow, my vision's incredibly good.
And then look at the mirror.
There are four eyes on your face.
That's, you definitely got.
You got the Moderna vaccine.
But if you get the second shot, it goes away.
Remember that.
It's only if you have one shot of Moderna,
do you get four eyes?
If you get the second one, those two eyes fade away.
But you might want to lose the vision gains.
They're incredible.
you're like at 80-20.
I might just keep it at one shot.
I mean, you look a little strange.
But I mean, you put a visor on, people aren't going to be able to tell.
And you can see, I mean, miles, Pat.
You can see miles away.
Yeah.
The two extra eyes make that big a difference?
Yeah, because they have different zoom lenses.
It's like your iPhone.
If you look at your iPhone, this one has three cameras on it.
It's like this.
And you can see the third eye, and all of a sudden you can zoom in.
So you put a fourth camera in there and it'd be really.
You can see the moon
It's true
From inside the building
I could see the moon with two eyes
But you can also see it
Better talking about
Inside this building
You can just point it up
And you can see the moon with it
Right through X-ray vision
Yeah
It's a little awkward
Walking through department stores
But other than that
Stupid
All right
Triple 877 BECK
It's Pat and Stufer Glenn
Oh man
You know part of the
Big Blockbuster action movie
where everything goes really quiet.
And then out of nowhere, there's like a huge blast of noise from the trombones and the drums.
And you know the monster is about to come crashing through buildings and tearing everything up.
That's sort of where we're at with the financial world right now.
If you're even slightly paying attention, you've noticed that we're headed for all sorts of economic trouble.
And probably it's not that far away.
So it begs the question, what are you going to do to prepare for that?
Do you have the lowest interest rate you can get on your mortgage, for instance?
We think these rates are going up.
I think they're going up at least.
It certainly seems like with the amount of spending that we're doing right now and printing
them of money, there's nowhere else for them to go.
And they're already so low.
So why not ask the questions you need to be asking and see if refinancing is right for you?

Unleashed podcast.
Stu Does America is my show.
Get that podcast as well.
Eddie where you get your

We also have.
Excellent suggestions.
Very, very, very good.
Also, stewdoesmerch.com is the place to go to get any, we have a few Nancy Pelosi sucks pens still available.
Andrew Cuomo was awful T-shirts.
Yeah.
All sorts of very fun things where I say bad things about liberals on shirts.
So it's all there and you can load up on that stuff as well.
And you can load up on cookies, right, Pat?
Yes, you could.
You could go to kexie.com and load up on all kinds of delicious cookies.
the salted caramel ones, the Texas sheetcake.
It's just so good.
For Father's Day, we had the bacon maple,
which I didn't think it was going to be that great.
I'm like, I don't know if you should do that.
Yeah, the salty sweet, the meat on the cookie thing.
Yeah, I'm not usually a fan,
but she went to the kitchen and baked it and brought it home.
Try this.
Okay, yeah, it's really, and I was stunned.
It's really good.
Anyway, kexy.com.
Yeah, very cool.
Highly recommended.
Something else happens to do.
day.
Yeah.
That's pretty momentous.
Really big thing going on today.
In fact, the new show in Rush Limbaugh's time slot here on Premier Radio Networks, Clay and Buck, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton.
If you don't know these guys, you're going to get to know them.
And it's really important that you do because, you know, we, there's no one going to ever replace Rush Limbaugh.
It's not possible, not a thing that can be a thing.
Yeah.
But, you know, him and him, unfortunately, leaving us far too early.
creates a massive hole in the in the conservative movement I mean you know rush was the conservative
movement in so many ways and I think you're really going to like clay and buck I know if you
don't know Clay Travis he's a guy's been on the sports side for a long time and and the organization
called Outkick outkick he started that yep yeah you know he does a lot he's been really prominent
over the past couple years
and a guy who just will say
what he feels is right
and does not care and we need more of that.
Buck Saxon is the same way.
He was here at the Blaze
and we're really proud of Buck
and that he was here at the Blaze.
He went to Premier Radio Networks
to do the night show for several years
and now it's moving into the slot
with Clay in Russia's time slot.
So if you're listening to the network feed,
it's the show that's about to start
and I'll say
we need a great couple of voices
in that time slot.
And these guys are really smart.
They do not care.
You know, Buck has been a friend of ours for a long time, you know, here at the Blaze from many years ago.
Clay, we've watched from afar, had him on the show a couple times as well.
And he's a really good voice.
And it's, I just think it's an incredible, it's an incredible opportunity for these guys,
but a real necessity for the conservative movement to have strong voices in the slot held by Rush Limbaugh.
And I know they know this as well.
You can't replace Rush.
as they've been saying, inspired by Rush.
You know, this is going to be,
it's something really important for all of us,
if you care about conservative principles.
And today's the very first day,
so you don't want to miss it.
It should be great.
Clay and Buck coming up next on most of this radio station.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Me too.
Yeah, should be fun.
Have you watched, did you watch any of the sports, by the way, this weekend?
Did you watch the golf thing was interesting in that John Ron.
who was leading a tournament.
He just had COVID, right?
He was leading a tournament
and then found out he tested positive
for COVID in a sport
which he can play by himself
outdoors.
Like maybe, I don't know,
clear the course and let him go by himself.
Whatever it is, you should have let him finish.
Yeah, he wound up with two amazing pots
late in the U.S. Open yesterday to win,
which is sort of, you know,
a little justice there for him.
I'm winning a much bigger tournament.
That was kind of nice to watch.
Every once in a while you get a positive story.
Yeah.
And LeBron's out of the playoffs, so you get more than one positive story.
And in the first round, which was awesome.
It's shocking what he didn't have Davis around.
Huh.
The greatest player in the history of the world was unable to get through that round.
He couldn't just pick up the team on his shoulders and carry him to the finals?
So weird.
Weird.
So weird how that happened.
Isn't that something?
Huh.
All right.
Len will be back tomorrow.
