Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast. Today, we go into the January 6th hearings where we learn all sorts of really, really terrible things about the president and all the bad things he did. And then we go through it and show you that. Not really what the media is saying that they are. We talk about more of the fallout on Roe versus Wade. And near the end of the show, we have a really, we have a tragic event. Jeffie joins us. Oh, I thought you said it was a tragic event. Yeah. I stopped in and, you know, boosted the heck out of the show. Those are the words I use. Tragic event. But, you know, Joe Biden in 2006 said every abortion is a tragedy. And every segment with Jeffrey also a tragedy.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Oh, I'll see. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast, of course, if you're not already, and read and review a couple of others to get you through the weekend here. Jeff Fisher has a podcast called Chewing the Fat, which is an unfortunate title. I don't know why people didn't see. It almost leads you to believe that he might be the fat you're talking about. Right. But no, it's just a, it's an expression.
Starting point is 00:00:58 It's the title of the show. It's just an expression. That's all. It's all it is. Pat Gray Unleashed is also available wherever you get your podcast. Rate and review there as well. And subscribe to Studez America as well. Available five days a week, which is, I think we had a lot going on over the past couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:01:17 And we've covered all the important things. And then also, Jeffie had a podcast. So make sure you check all that out. And don't forget to go to Studeosmerch.com for the new t-shirt, 62422. Remember the day. that Roe versus Wade was overturned without having fetuses all over your shirt. It's an important distinction.
Starting point is 00:01:35 62422 is available at stewdozmerch.com. Here's the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Cassidy Hutchinson has finally blown this thing completely open. We were looking for the smoking gun in the January 6th situation that links Trump to all the madness. Well, we have it now. We have it.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Did you see her testimony yesterday? I did see a bunch of the testimony, yes. Powerful. Now, she was the chief of staff for Mark Meadows. Yes. So in some... Who is the chief of staff for Donald Trump? Right.
Starting point is 00:02:25 So what does that make? I don't know how that works. Do you multiply them, Chief of Staff times Chief of Staff? to find out what it is? It is, the one thing you'd say about her, and I guess this is why they made such a big deal about the testimony yesterday, is that she's not an anti-Trump person. She was there throughout. She, you know, to the end was still chief of staff for Mark Meadows, right?
Starting point is 00:02:50 And Mark Meadows was the chief of staff for the president in the United States. So this is not someone like, you know, it's not like, I don't know who's the right example, but there's, you know, there's been so many players in this at this point. But not someone who was highly skeptical of Trump the whole time. Right. And is now saying bad things about them now that they don't have a job anymore. She was there the whole time and was working closely with the president, had access to a lot of the internal conversation. So I guess that's why she was a big deal yesterday.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah. Here's what she had to say about Donald Trump being pissed off that they weren't taken him back. He wanted to go to the Capitol building. I want to go to the Capitol building. Be with my people. Here's what she said. Related to him. We're not.
Starting point is 00:03:29 We don't have the assets to do it. It's not secure. We're going back to the West Wing. The president had very. very strong, a very angry response to that. Tony described him as being irate. The president said something to the effect of, I'm the effing president.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Take me up to the Capitol now. To which Bobby responded, sir, we have to go back to the West Wing. The president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Okay. Mr. Engel grabbed his. arm said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the West Wing. We're not going to the Capitol. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby Engel. And when Mr. Renato had recounted this story to me, he had motion towards his clavicles. Yeah, his clavicles. He almost grabbed his clavicles. He's going to break his collarbones. That's what Trump was going to do. He's apparently very proficient at breaking people's collarbones. He can do that with, he just snap them in half with his hand. And it's important to know because, you know, look, our education system is not what it once was. The Constitution explicitly bans the president from touching clavicles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:49 That is part, that's in the clavicle clause. But Trump completely ignored it. Yeah. The clavicle cause. Uh-huh. Clavicle cause. Yeah. It's hard to say.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Uh-huh. But that does exist. If you're Tom Broca, you can't say. The clavicle clause. It's a clavicle cause. Yeah, so the idea that, okay, the speech is over. Okay. President Trump wants to go to the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:05:15 They're driving him back to the White House. And look, it's a long walk. He's not going to make that walk. So he wants to be in the car. Yeah. And they say no. They say no. The Secret Service says no.
Starting point is 00:05:24 So keep in mind, he's in the beast. The presidential limousine. Yeah. He's in the back of the limousine. He doesn't ever ride shotgun that I know of. Right. Even when he calls it, he still doesn't get to do it. Well, if he calls it first.
Starting point is 00:05:37 No, they still don't let him do it. Wow. So he's in the back. I guess he jumps through the partition, grabs the steering wheel with his right hand, and with his left, he's got the clavicles of the Secret Service agent who's driving in his hand. And he's about to snap his collarbones.
Starting point is 00:05:56 It's frightening. It was one of the first things I thought about. How agile he is. It didn't seem just in that vehicle that that would be possible. It doesn't seem possible. That's the thing. Yeah. And, you know, the Secret Service is already volunteered to testify on, you know, under oath that that did not happen.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Right. So that's the biggest part of this, right? Yeah. Did not happen. If this was the biggest story in the world from her, you would want to find out from the Secret Service agent if it was true or not. Right. And, you know, Secret Service agents not. Before you started.
Starting point is 00:06:33 reporting it as if it's gospel truth. Right. Okay, well, this person heard it from some other person. It's absolutely true. Right. And so you'd want to get that confirmation. Now, Secret Service agents are not necessarily known for volunteering information. The fact that they immediately came out and said, wait a minute, this didn't happen is
Starting point is 00:06:54 incredible. Without hesitation. It dissolves the entire story immediately. Right? That's how bad. Like literally the whole story falls apart within an hour. Now, that doesn't mean that she lied because if you, I think the most important part of what you just heard was that she said, Tony said, as he recounted, it is, she's told you it is secondhand information. It's not like she's riding shotgun in the limo.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Right. And sees this occur. She's not there. No, she didn't see this. She didn't witness it. She's saying she talked to the Secret Service agent who then told the story. Now, it's not impossible that something happened, some sort of, you know, he maybe, I would totally believe that Donald Trump yelled at the Secret Service agent in that moment. Maybe he was very emotional in that moment, very possible. And maybe he inflated the story to her. I mean, it's not a, that's not a crazy telling of this.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Yeah. But the bottom line is, you follow up with the people involved. And the Secret Service agent, if he really had his clavicle attacked here, Pat, would probably be. very willing to tell the story if asked. And he immediately came out instead and said the exact opposite, that it was not true. So that part, which is the biggest headline from the January 6th hearings in a surprise moment with an unknown witness. Bombshell, every media headline you will read will tell you it was a bombshell. And that has already been opposed by the person who supposedly told the story. Already debunked.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And not a political figure. Like if it was a, let's say it was Mark Meadows saying this. You might say, well, Meadows is covering for Trump. The Secret Service is not doing that. That's not what they do. That's not their job. Their job is not to cover for the president in testimony. You almost never hear of Secret Service agents, even after they've long retired,
Starting point is 00:08:51 saying anything about their service with the president. Right. They almost never do that. No. You don't hear about it at all. Yeah. Afterward. I mean, we've talked to Secret Service agents who are friends.
Starting point is 00:09:01 to our cause than the cause on the left. We've talked to several of them over the years. People who worked for President Obama, for example. Dan Bonino, for instance. Dan Bonino's talked about it publicly. He's talked about it, yeah. But he, even he doesn't relate specifics. No, he's very limited on what he would tell you.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And we talk to others who won't say one word on the air about what they witnessed in the White House because they see it as part of their job to know. never talk about those things. And I think, you know, watching this, I think we had a different perspective, Pat, than a lot of America in that we've dealt with with high level security people because Glenn always has them around. I mean, you know, Glenn has had all sorts of threats on his life over the years. And so we've, we talked to these guys. We know these guys. We talk to them off camera, off the air, and they still won't tell, people we've known for years will not give us names of celebrities they've protected because they they guard that so closely.
Starting point is 00:10:05 They don't even say who they've guarded, let alone tell you specific stories about guarding them. Right. Because that's, you know, they see that as like their oath. And certainly the Secret Service agencies that it's probably even a higher level and that it's, you know, it really is an oath. Not just a job responsibility. So seeing that, and then I thought another part of this, Pat, was interesting. from maybe our perspective more than, you know, the, the, a person who is in a, you know, a normal job not working with a person that has 15 active threats against him all the time. The, the actions of Donald Trump, if true, not, not the clavicle part, because we know the clavicle clause, of course, bars that behavior.
Starting point is 00:10:50 But I'm saying, like, the behavior of, I want to go with my people into a dangerous situation that my security people are saying, no, I totally. believe that's true. I totally believe Donald Trump wanted to go down and be with his people at the capital. That wouldn't surprise me at all. It would not surprise me at all because we've seen Glenn try to do the same crap a hundred times. And like it is really frustrating for the security people because they're like, we can't secure you there. It's not that you don't trust the people who are in the crowd, but all it takes is one. Right. You know, all it takes is one hinkly to be in a crowd and we've got a national tragedy on our hands. And you don't know if even if 95% of those people are perfectly fine.
Starting point is 00:11:35 There could always be a psychotic person in there doing something crazy. So the Secret Service and any good security team is going to say, dude, no, you can't go down there. I can't bring you down there. We are not ready for it. We're not prepared for it. You can't just spring this on us right now. We cannot bring you down there.
Starting point is 00:11:53 We need to bring it to the West Wing. That is totally believable to me. and probably true. But the way the media is presenting that information is Donald Trump wanted to join the coup. Donald Trump wanted to go down there. He wanted to be there to overthrow the process. Now, that is so stupid. Come up.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So stupid. That is total spin. He wanted to be with his people. He wanted to show that he wasn't going to just go hide in the White House when he was asking them to go down there and walk down to the Capitol and not riot, but protest. Totally believable. The idea that Donald Trump, look, take all the other stuff out of it.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Donald Trump's a pretty coddled guy. He's lived as a billionaire for how long? Do you think he wants to be in the middle of a brawl inside the Capitol? No. Do you think he wants to be in the middle of a group of people putting flagpoles through windows of the Capitol? Do you think he wants to be in the middle of people? Do you think he must be in the middle of a pepper spray incident?
Starting point is 00:12:57 The guy lives in a gold palace. He does not want to be in the middle of that. No. If you thought he had the worst intentions, the way Donald Trump would handle that situation is being somewhere safe directing it from a distance. He does not want to be in the middle of that. That's not who the guy is. Yeah. And even if, you know, even if the really ridiculous story of him grabbing the wheel and trying to drive, forcibly drive the beast back to the capital.
Starting point is 00:13:27 building. Even if it was true. What does that prove anyway? It just proved he wanted to be there. He wanted to go there. So what? That doesn't mean he was overthrowing the government. The clavicle thing would be bothersome. If he was actually putting his hands on a clavicle It would. I mean, look,
Starting point is 00:13:43 especially thinking he's going to be able to do something over overtake a secret service agent. That's not smart. Trump's a big guy, but I don't think he's winning against a secret service agent. You know, that's just not the profile. of Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:02 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Check out my show. Pack Ray Unleashed. I will. Immediately preceding this one live. I can't do it now. It's already passed for a minute.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Well, that's true. But you could listen later on at your leisure. Wait, on demand? Yeah, on demand. Whenever I want it, it will be there. Whenever it's convenient for you, you can listen then via podcast. That's incredible. Anywhere you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Plus, I understand that you also have a show. show to listen to or watch, view, you should check it out. It's called Stu Does America. Huh. And every day we do this country. Okay. And it's fun.
Starting point is 00:14:52 All right. We've had a lot of, it's been a fun show. And I know yours is as well. I think there's a lot on the conservative side that can get boring and frankly, just don't, you know, bore you to tears every day. And so we try not to do that. Yeah, we do too. We try to make the apocalypse fun.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah. That's our goal is to make the apocalypse that is happening right now. Make it fun. Make it fun. Yeah. By the way, on this note, we've been talking a lot about January 6th today. And that's the day the left wants you to remember. I would argue.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Well, it's the day democracy almost died. Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah. That's really bad. And they really want you to be talking about January 6th. I'm going to go ahead and argue you shouldn't be talking about a different date. We've got the new T-shirt up right now at Studeau's Merch.com. 6, 24, 22.
Starting point is 00:15:42 The day Roe versus Wade was overturned. I like that. Go get it. It's a great shirt. And it's one of those shirts, too. It's like, it's a way to show your pro life and you don't have to have like a fetus on your shirt, you know? You know, like you don't want to necessarily have like. I don't want to wear a fetus.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I don't want as much as pro life as I am. Yeah. I'm not wearing a fetus on my shirt. Yeah. I don't want like some graphic image of a fetus on my on my stomach as I'm walking around. I already look bad enough. So this one will help you look good. and kind of give you...
Starting point is 00:16:10 If that makes me a bad person, then so be it. Yeah. You know? Yeah. All right. Sorry about that. I'm terrible. So get it now.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Stu doesmerch.com. It's the 62422 shirt. They also have the mugs and the stickers and hats and all that stuff. And they're all sons fetus? No fetuses. No fetuses. I mean, maybe we should do a separate shirt that's just fetuses. Like it's just constant fetuses on every part of the shirt.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I don't know. Maybe that would sell even better. But I hope you do it. I like it. Because, you know, look, I want to make clear what I believe, but I also, I like the fact that people who know who are on our side are going to know that date. And I want them to know that date. The left is going to be saying, January 6th, I want to be talking about that date. That's the most important date we've seen in the last couple of years, I think.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Oh, yeah, one of the most important dates in our lifetime, I'd say. There's already the first number I heard was they think, even with all of the craziness going on with states opening up abortion access and, you know, you could still. They still think it could prevent 100,000 abortions a year. It's a good start. That's a great start. There's 600,000 now. And if it's only 100,000, what an incredible day. I mean, what an incredible.
Starting point is 00:17:22 If it's only 100,000, what an improvement. It's still way too many people are going to be aborted. But you know what? Making even that amount of progress shows that we still have a long road to go, but also indicates how important this day was. And when? Really, when is enough enough? The number in the United States alone is over 63, somewhere between 63 and 65 million babies that we've lost since 1973.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Isn't that enough? I would say it is. It's one and a half billion worldwide. That number kills me. One and a half billion. 63 million here is really, really bad. And it always hits you in a rough way. But man, when you think about globally over a billion, a billion.
Starting point is 00:18:04 And it's between 50 and 75 million every year. 50 and 75 million a year. Soul crushing. And many of the areas of the globe are going the opposite direction. We're becoming more liberalized of these rules. So, hopefully that that switches, and at least it's kind of switched here in part of the country anyway. So check that up.
Starting point is 00:18:24 By the way, speaking of the Supreme Court, there were two, this is a surprise to me, I will say. I thought there was three or four decisions left. There were four. There were four. Yeah. And I expected we would get four because this is a lot of,
Starting point is 00:18:37 last day they had announced. And also, they had been doing about five per day for most of this as they were releasing these. Well, today they came out. They gave the two boring ones. No offense to you if you're involved in these cases. But we got the two boring ones and didn't get the two big ones. The two big ones we did not get is the EPA ruling, which I think is the biggest one as far as it affects your everyday life and how your government operates. It's a huge, huge case. And then the other one is the remain in Mexico part of the Trump. situation. It's the Trump directive. Yeah. So neither of those
Starting point is 00:19:10 came out today. They did announce that they're going to come out tomorrow. So that's your last decision day of the session. Tomorrow you will get those decisions alive on this program at least during this time slot. And the two that came out
Starting point is 00:19:26 was a Native American issue about who can prosecute in a Native American area and a Veterans Affairs issue. Both of them important in their own way, but not necessarily top of the mind. So we're not going to
Starting point is 00:19:39 spend too much time on that today. How to turn out the one, the Native American thing? I mean, who won? It was a five,
Starting point is 00:19:47 five, four to session. I'd have to go back and look at it in more depth. I kind of, I usually when we go through this, we start with a zillion cases.
Starting point is 00:19:56 And at the beginning of the session, I have to go through all of them and kind of understand basic knowledge about all of them. And they keep getting knocked off as you go through this release period. And as they get towards the end, the ones
Starting point is 00:20:06 that I never really locked in on and cared about all that much. I can't remember all the details on it. The Native American one is kind of interesting because it involves sovereignty. And whether or not they're subject to the United States or are they subject just to the Indian Reservation. Yeah, the concept being someone who is not a Native American going on to Native American lands committing a crime against a Native American. Can the state government jump in and say they're the ones that are prosecuted? I believe what the ruling was was no. Like only the federal government can step in and prosecute.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Okay. So the state can't. The state can't. I think that's what, but again, like, I don't know. Now look, do I have it on my calendar to commit a crime against a Native American on a Native American reservation? Of course you do. I do. But that's not for six months.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So I have not really put much thought into how that will turn out. Okay. So I was thinking. Is that just because you won't be driving through a Native American reservation for another six months? Well, there's a lot of planning that goes into a major crime unless the one I'm planning. Okay. I can't give you all the details on that crime plot right now.
Starting point is 00:21:11 It's understandable. He's number one, I haven't worked them all out. And number two, I don't want to necessarily tip my hand here. Right, okay. But, you know, if you are out of Native American reservation right now, I'd watch it. That's what I'll say. That's what I'll say to you. If you see me coming.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Do you tell us which reservation? I cannot, Pat. No, okay. All right. I mean, I know. Can you give us a state like New Mexico or Texas? I don't think there's any reason. I don't think of how that benefits me.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I'm just saying if you see me, like if you're a fan of the show, you're Native American and you see me coming, I'd run. Now you know, your friends might not know. Wow. All right. They don't listen to this show. They're not going to know that I'm there to commit a crime. Yeah. You know, but I do need to look into the details of this ruling
Starting point is 00:21:48 before I really go through with a plan because I may wind up burning me. I don't want that to happen, of course. Yeah, you should at least know where they came down on it. And here's the thing. Most crimes that happen on Native American reservations happen to the Cherokee Nation. Well, the Cherokee tribe where they're so proud to live and so proud to die. You know, the thing was, they took the whole Indian nation and they put them on this reservation. They took away their way of life.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I mean, the tomahawk, the bow and knife took away their native tongue and they taught their stinking English to our young. And the beans. To your young? Yeah, to my young. Why would they teach it to your, well, you taught English to your young. I'll tell you that. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I taught them Cherokee. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now they know English. Because, well, that's what I've been explaining to you. Yeah, that's true. You did mention it. And then the beads we used to make by hand.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah. Well, nowadays they're made in Japan or Taiwan or China, even more nowadays. Yeah, even more now. Bangladesh. But Japan rhymes. Yeah. So you're not going to say Bangladesh. All the beads we made by hand are nowadays made in China.
Starting point is 00:23:08 That doesn't really work. No, it doesn't. It doesn't really work at all. But luckily, we've solved that. Yeah. The Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee tribe should be all set after this. Unless until I show up with my big crime plot. But now you've warned them, so now they're on their guard.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Look, it's on them now. You know, at one point, if it was a surprise that I just pull in and I was like, hey, here's my big crime plot and I'm going to unleash it on you. That might be unfair to the Native Americans. However, now I've announced it. So they know if you see Stu waddling down the street. Yeah. Or coming in in your brand new car, which is on order now.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Right? Aren't you getting a car? Yes, this is a big development. Okay. And this will help them watch for you, by the way. Yes. Because Stu's getting a new car. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I don't know if you're going to share what kind of car it is. but he's getting a new one. I feel like the same way I don't want to share the details of the crime plot. I don't necessarily, because then they know I was pulling out. That's right. So I ordered a car in Joe Biden's economy. And this has been an interesting expense. And bam, you got it right away?
Starting point is 00:24:19 No. No. Well, there's no cars, you know, on the lot. That's how I used to understand how you purchase cars. Like you'd go to a dealership and they would say, here are the cars we have. Would you like to choose one of them? Or you could special order one. and it'll be here in six or eight weeks.
Starting point is 00:24:33 That's kind of the way it would typically go. That's not how it goes now. No, it really isn't. So I put, I kind of agonized over what I was going to do. They didn't have any cars on the lot that I wanted or the type that I wanted. So I did have to put in a special order. And the special order normally would take six to eight weeks. That's, you know, that was the timeline.
Starting point is 00:24:56 When I put in the order, they said, look, supply chain stuff, we've got a lot of issues going on. And I understood that, you know, I did understand that. It's now been 10 months, a 10 months since they put that order. It's the better part of a year now. Yeah, I put it in. And it was supposed to be six to eight weeks. August 20th, I put this order in because I had the email where I confirmed it. I've gone back and forth with them a few times before this, but when I really locked down the order, it was August 20th, 2021.
Starting point is 00:25:25 It is now June 29th, 2022. Jeez. And just a few weeks ago, Pat. I got a, or I guess it was like, but I mean a little over a month ago now, where I got a Target Production Week where they decided they were going to actually theoretically build this car. Wow. So the Target Production Week comes.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Okay. They say the target production week is going on. Just the other day, I get a text that says, quote, your car has been built. And I was like, wow. Wow. That's incredible. It's been built. Can I come pick it up?
Starting point is 00:25:58 We don't have a delivery date for it yet. but the car has been built. I've got a VIN number and everything. In theory, this car exists somewhere. I think in Lansing, Michigan or somewhere up there. I don't know. The third worldification of this country is unreal. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:26:15 My daughter, I think I mentioned this before, was here for a month visiting. And so we were going to get her car because her old one sort of blew up, fell apart. It was no good. So we went to a dealership. And it was a Honda dealership, actually. And we said, so we'd like a Honda. Like maybe a Civic? Yeah, we don't have any civics.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Wait, Honda doesn't have any civics. No. They've had them since like 1983. Exactly. Yeah. But not now. Not now. Well, what about an accord then?
Starting point is 00:26:47 What about, no, we don't have any accords. CRVs? Is that a thing here? No. No, we don't have any cars. Well, we do have SUVs. We have 20 SUVs. You can pick from among the.
Starting point is 00:27:00 them. I don't want an SUV for my daughter. So, uh, we're out of luck. So we go to a Nissan dealer. Same deal. She goes back to Utah and we're on the phone with the dealerships there. And they have no cars. Nor can they get any in the next six months. It's like, okay, do you have a used car? No, but we could get you one and by September. And we're going to charge you more than a new car. Right. More than a new car. It's unbelievable. That's one of the options I've had over the past 10 months, Pat, with the car that I ordered, which is get one that's used. Well, those cars are $30,000 and $40,000 more than the actual cost of the car. It's crazy. Which, I mean, yeah, I guess you could pay for that, for that premium, but I don't really want to. No, me neither. So, nor do I, I don't have any interest, actually, in all, I'm paying that much for a car. So it's like, especially what a car that I know the dealership supposedly is selling. for much, much less. And it is, it's a, it's really incredible when you think about, go back to the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the
Starting point is 00:28:12 cliche of car dealerships, right? They, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, how do I, how do I, how do I get you to a car, 90s, there'd be those movies, you know, where they be, the car dealers would have their car salesman out there, harassing you, to get you into a car today. How do, let me, how do I get you into a car today? Let me go back to my manager. I'm going to get you a real deal on this. And they would give misleading ads and all these stereotypes that, you know, Arnold was true, but have been around for decades. It's the exact opposite. It's been, there are times where I'd reach out to the dealers.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And I started calling other dealers around the country to try to figure out how I could do this faster. They would just, uh, they would just, they barely even would respond to you. Like, nah, we don't have anything. Like, they don't even care because they don't. Well, they can't get any cars. And weren't they getting a little pissed that you kept calling him? They got a little, there was a time where they were just annoyed with me personally, which is understandable, frankly. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Here's another example of the inmates running the asylum. The Amazon employees got together and wrote the leadership of Amazon, an open letter. Group of pro-abortion Amazon employees filed this public letter to the company where they demanded that the online retailer cease. any and all business in pro-life states. We the undersigned, they wrote, come to you today to request immediate and decisive action against the threat to our basic human rights with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Starting point is 00:29:53 As part of Amazon's wide-reaching efforts toward a more inclusive and diverse workforce, really? Are they really trying to get a more inclusive and diverse workforce? We believe that Amazon cannot let this recent decision go unanswered. We ask Amazon, the world's best employer, to actively defend against this assault on our liberty. Since when is this a corporation's job in this country to defend their employees' liberty?
Starting point is 00:30:27 I mean, Amazon's in business to make money. Let's face it. That's what they want to do. Bezos started the company so that he could make a living for himself and his family. It worked out pretty well. It turns out that he made a really nice living for himself and his family. And it's not his responsibility to follow up on the ideology of his employees. But they want him to cease operations in states that enact laws that threaten the lives and liberty of abortion seekers. So stupid. I would abort every one of their careers.
Starting point is 00:31:08 I would do. Everyone who signed it, I'd abort that career. Either by denying health care in life-threatening circumstances or by criminalizing abortion seekers and providers. Nobody, nobody is criminalizing abortion seekers. Now, some have threatened the abortion providers, like, you know, the doctors or the clinics that are involved. But nobody is saying that the woman is going to prosecuted in any way. I don't think that's in any of these laws. Or is their life in danger because in, I believe, every single case in these states that are banning abortion, there's the exception for the mother's life being in danger.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Every single one. Every one of them. Now, their argument is this weird Roe versus Wade argument that's been around for a long time now, which is, well, they could die in childbirth. That's really their argument here. Like, if you make them carry it to term, they could theoretically die during childbirth. kidding me. Come on. Really?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, that is really... Is this 1842 now? Yeah, exactly. Is that where we are? We're a little house on the prairie. And, uh, this dock is about 80 miles away. We got to get him by carriage.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Right. It's just so painfully stupid. It is stupid. Obviously, you could die during childbirth. You could die driving to the hospital before childbirth too. You could die for a lot of reasons. You can't predict it. Obviously, the chances of you dying during childbirth are very, very small.
Starting point is 00:32:35 But you could also die during an abortion. Yeah, you know, true. There's risk everywhere all the time. That is, it's not a, it's not a sensible point. They've been trying to make that, you know, they tried to make that back 50 years ago because it was more common. And so they would compare it against abortion, which, you know, also has its risks. But especially with like the medical ones they have now, their claims are, well, it's not, it's much safer than going through with a full childbirth. Now, look, in 2022, we're talking about two very unlike.
Starting point is 00:33:08 outcomes. It's unlikely that you would die during an abortion. It is unlikely that you would die during childbirth. That's not very common. And it might be about equally risky on both of those. You might have about an equal chance with each. I don't know. They claim, you know, their claim is, oh, no, it's much more dangerous. You know, and like, it's not, you know, this is a relative versus absolute risk thing they're doing here, which is like both abs, when you talk about absolute risk, chances are incredibly low that either one of these two things would happen. However, their claim is,
Starting point is 00:33:43 oh, well, if you compare, if you do a relative risk calculation, you could say, well, it's much more likely. It's very unlikely either way. It's a silly, silly defense. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Come on.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Come on. It's just, it's completely ridiculous. I mean, we've taught, I don't know, badger people with all the numbers and go through the whole argument again. But it's just a silly argument. I mean,
Starting point is 00:34:06 anything can happen in life. Of course, you're going to die at some point. There's a hundred percent chance of death in your future. You know, I hate to break it to you. There's a hundred percent chance they're going to die someday. Yeah. And, you know, you're not going to be able to manage exactly when that's going to happen. The chances of you dying during childbirth are extraordinarily low,
Starting point is 00:34:26 all, you know, in any developed country at this point. But they've been doing this from the beginning. Even before Roe v. Wade, this is how they got Roe v. Wade passed in part is lying about the risk for women who don't have access to abortions because they just made up a number of 10,000 back alley abortion deaths every year. Well, what? Where did you get that? If you go back and look at where they got that, which 10,000 back alley abortion deaths every year, there was a doctor who was a pro-abortion guy who just made it up. He just completely picked a number and threw it out there. The press ran with it. And that's one of the things that turned the tide.
Starting point is 00:35:16 So often the case with the left and their arguments. It's the same thing with the straw situation. The straw one is the one. With a nine-year-old kid and a homework project trying to figure out how many straws were wasted every day. And somebody threw out a number that was completely inaccurate and made up of $500 million a day. And it was a kid, legitimately a kid who put this in a school project. And that is why these dumb restaurants have paper straws. It's legitimately the story.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Yeah. A nine, I think it was a nine year old. It was a nine year old. Who had a school project that got into the media and then got picked up by a bunch of people. And then everyone said, oh my gosh, the problem here are plastic straws. We need to get rid of the plastic straws and have paper straws that immediately fold when you start putting liquid through them because they're paper. paper in liquid are not always the best match. And then they fold and you have to ask for three more.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So it doesn't save the environment at all. And we are down that road. You know, another one. The garbage island in the middle of the ocean. Yeah, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Yeah. Which is not exist. Two and a half times the size of Texas.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah. Been ported a million times does not exist. Can't for some reason be photographed by satellite imagery. For some reason, we don't have a picture of it. And these things are. Why don't we have a picture of it? Because as Stoja said, it doesn't exist. It's not really there.
Starting point is 00:36:38 These things are so widespread that, like, I remember when I learned that the island didn't exist, because I went through the exact same process you went through, Pat, I said, well, wait a minute, why isn't there a picture of this? What does it look like? Where is it? What's the location of it? And you look for it and, oh, yeah, there isn't one. They're just saying there's a bunch of garbage in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:36:58 And if you combine, I think combined it all into one place. In theory, there would be an island that's this big. But that's not what happens. And by the way, we're not the ones responsible for it. Almost all the trash is coming from China. Yeah. Yeah. And it was my search for the picture of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Starting point is 00:37:18 where I found the Salon article. Salon, which is a left wing, big time left wing publication, where the guy admitted, hey, you know what, we should really tell people there really isn't a great Pacific garbage patch. We've been lying about that for years and it's just not there. For years. Wow. These things happened.
Starting point is 00:37:39 I was blown away. I really thought there probably was a garbage package. Yeah. I just assumed there was and was like, well, I mean, I don't know. That seems, it seems bizarre, but I guess maybe the current pulls it pushes it and the, I don't know, who knows? I don't know what I thought was actually happening. I never put much thought into it. It was so much reported as such fact.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Another one is this idea that global warming, if we don't do anything in 10 years, the society is going to end. Yeah. And this has been everywhere. Every politician on the left has said it. AOC, it's like her favorite thing to say. Biden has said it multiple times. And my argument on that when I first heard it was, look, I've looked in enough climate data over the years. This seems like some outlying, scary scenario that some doctor or some scientist said, but is not the realistic possibility. Is it, you know, is it, you know, and it's not, doesn't mean the world's going to end. It means that we hit a point where it's going to be difficult to, to retort.
Starting point is 00:38:34 turn because of this idea of positive feedback. It's a standard thing in global warming theory where each thing that goes wrong feeds back and makes the other things go more wrong. And then that in turn makes the next thing go wrong. It's a feedback loop. It's a feedback loop. And there's no reason to believe in all the stuff that I've ever read and what I certainly believe, and many scientists as well, that the climate is a positive feedback system. It seems very clear over thousands of years, it's a negative feedback system. It seems to be able to correct its ice ages with going the other way. The reason why humanity has been able to live here for a long time because of that. So that's a whole other story. But that's what I thought. And that was just me
Starting point is 00:39:22 analyzing it and just kind of like looking at the way these things normally play out. However, that was not accurate. My opinion was not accurate. And the reason I know this is from Michael Schellenberger, who wrote in his book about this, and decided to actually go to the scientist who supposedly was being quoted and asked them, hey, guys, did you guys say this? Was it the UN's climate division or whatever? What do they call that? The IPCC? IPCC. And he went there. And he talked to the scientist. Talked to the very scientist. And what the scientist said was, oh, thank you. We were so sick of this.
Starting point is 00:40:01 being reported, no, we didn't say that. That's really what it was. That's how it turned out. Yeah. It's one of the most widely shared pieces of climate hysteria, and the guy who was quoted didn't even say it. That is how crazy this stuff is. It becomes part of the ecosystem in such a weird way.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yep. And from the straws to all of this stuff. Mm-hmm. To deaths of back-alley abortions. Yeah. Back-alley abortions is a great one. Look. there probably were
Starting point is 00:40:33 and we know there were by the way because some of the abortion activists were the ones doing it. They were doing the procedures that were killing women. That was not pro-life people being like, I can't wait to do a fake abortion so I can kill people.
Starting point is 00:40:45 The year before Roe v. Wade where they were still doing back alley abortions because they were illegal. There were 24 deaths due to illegal abortions. No, there were 24 deaths due to legal abortions, there were 39 deaths due to back alley.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Okay. So 39 in a year, the year before Roe v. Wade was passed. Because at that time, about two thirds of states had banned it. Yeah. But there was still a third that had allowed it. Right. Because it was in the situation like it is now, which when they keep saying,
Starting point is 00:41:19 we're going to go back to pre-Row times. That's not true. It's going to be, there's going to be more access to abortion now than there was pre-Row because more states will have it open. But, yeah, so you have, you have, Several doesn't. And look, we want to obviously stop all of them. There was, you know, maybe it is, you know, I would think a back alley abortion would be very dangerous. But honestly, at this point.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Far from 10,000, though. Very far from 10,000. Yeah. And this is, again, there was a group. We talked about Jane's revenge that was threatening to burn down cities and stuff when this verdict came out. That is based on another organization. The Jane part of that comes from an organization that popped up after. versus Wade. And they were providing illegal abortions for women. Yeah, it was leading up to that, I think.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And the idea was they would give these abortions out. And those are the people, not just that particular organization, but those types of organizations were the ones doing the illegal abortions. These groups that are praised by the left are the ones doing the illegal abortions that led to the deaths, at least in some of these cases. And that one, I don't know if there's any one with that specific organization, but a lot of those organizations existed in places where these things were banned. But beyond all of that, right, they're like, oh my gosh, we're going to go back to this era of back-ally abortions. Why?
Starting point is 00:42:42 Wait, what time, what year is it? Right? Yeah. We have a situation where any woman in any state can get an abortion if their life is in danger. Any person in any state is within a two. hour flight of being in a place where they can get an abortion at any time. And your employer will almost certainly pay for it. And your employer will probably pay for it. If not, an abortion activist organization will pay for it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 There's a bunch of them that have already popped up. And HHS is talking about paying for. HHS is talking about it. AOC wants to put these on federal land. I think that's idiotic and won't have passed on terms. But it's possible. And national parks, that would be great. We do know that private organizations are doing Winnebago's.
Starting point is 00:43:28 and they're pushing them right up to the borders so you can come right across the border and get your abortion. And all of this is almost a pointless conversation for most women because you can order it online from an Indian pharmacy, which will have your abortion pills to you within days. And you can take it in Texas, in Louisiana,
Starting point is 00:43:48 in Mississippi, wherever you want to. All of this I consider to be bad. But why would you go to a back alley abortionist when this is the situation where you can get it legally and get it free anywhere or just get it in the mail. Why would we go back to an era of back alley abortions anyway, even if it was only 39 deaths, it doesn't make any sense at all. And anyone who thinks about it, I think gets to that conclusion. But your job as an American right now is not to think. Because if you think, then all these things are obvious.
Starting point is 00:44:25 if you can do what they want you to do, which is just nod your head and go along with it and post your tweets and memes and TikToks, then you're playing the game the way they want you to play it. No, no, no.
