Jacob, of course, is a guy who is shot by police and has become this hero on the left. We kind of go into whether he should be treated as a hero. And whether Joe Biden should be meeting with his dad, who is a virulent anti-Semite. Huh, huh, huh, huh. I don't know. I would go, no. He should.

shouldn't, but he will not be, of course, penalized for that because, you know, social justice. Anti-Semic racist, too, we might add. Yeah, he really doesn't like white people. Not a fan. No. Not a fan. We also go into, Glenn had a special last night.

You're listening to. Elon Musk planning to build a glorious city on Mars? I love this guy's, I love his ambition. I really do. It's infectious. Like he really, he makes you believe that we're going to do all these things. That within a few years, I think he's sticking to his plan, 2024, right?

2024 is the Mars shot? Or is 2024 might be the moon and 2028 or 2030 might be Mars. I don't know. Anyway, it's a really, it's a short timetable because does it feel? feel like we're ready to go to Mars yet? It really doesn't. I don't, to me at least. Yeah. Mars or the moon are really anywhere. No. It does not seem like it, it does not seem like something that's going to be right around the corner. No. It doesn't at all. They're doing amazing things. They are. And it's obviously possible. And I love that it's a private business doing

this. They have partnered with NASA. But still, at least you got the private business element to it now. And he is talking about these rocket ships. He's building these starship rockets, he calls them. to take people back and forth to Mars. And he says he's going to need a fleet of a thousand ships to create a sustainable city. Not even a place dependent on Earth. It's going to be Mars sustainable. And he wants to have a million human beings living on Mars

by, I believe, 20, yeah, 2050, by 2050. So he can take 100 people at a time. it'd be three flights a day for nine or ten years and we'd have a million people on Mars there is one drawback there's one slight drawback the first bunch of groups of people who go

right will probably die so it's a one-way trip you're going to be dead after you get there well everyone's going to die yes but I mean quickly I mean before their time they're obviously going to perish because Mars can't sustain

But, I mean, that's a small price to pay, right? To start a colony on Mars. It's actually quite a big price to pay. I can think. Yeah. Do you really? I feel like it's one of the biggest prices to pay. So you still think that human life has value?

Oh, that's right. That's my problem. That's my problem. That's weird. Yeah. I've been thinking that maybe, I don't know, even unborn human life had some value. So that's really crazy. I'm way out on a limb on that way.

Wow. It's funny. I was watching. some social media feed I think from Stephen Crowder who's on Blaze TV because he was watching his show on Blaze TV and he was doing something about

you know he does those things change my mind he goes and just sits down and sets a table up and goes and says something controversial and says change my mind well this is sort of the reverse of that where he it said something about changed to my mind and it was about Tesla and he was talking he had clips of him

joking about Tesla and mocking the cars and everything and then it had him driving in one and at least the insinuation was, I didn't see the whole segment, but the assinuation was he drove it and he was like, this is pretty great. We went through that same transition. Same thing.

Same exact transition. We had the same experience because, you know, you could sit here and part of me still feels that. Like, every time I see one, I'm like, oh, geez, look at this. Look at this dope. And they're a little stupid Tesla.

And at the same time, like, knowing we drove this thing, it was the most amazing thing I've ever driven in my life. Yeah. I mean, you know, it is incredibly fast. You feel like you're, in a spaceship. They're updating

the technology all the time. All the time. And it just happens like it happens automatically kind of because it's downloaded to your car. Yeah, one day your car just goes faster. It's amazing. What? It's amazing. It really is. Now, I guess they do have some quality control problems. I think they've got some of the biggest issues in

the auto industry, in fact, in the quality control aspect. I believe that. Because they, you know, yeah, they're bound to, right? Because it's really high tech. So they're going to have some issues. But it's a, I mean, you've got that great big screen. You've got the cool, sleek look of the car. And it goes zero to 60 in less than three seconds, I think. I mean, they're pretty amazing. They're pretty amazing. He's done some cool things. Yeah, it really is. And Tesla's like the second biggest, by market cap, the second or first

biggest car company? First. Is it first? Yeah. It's past Toyota. Yeah. Just past Toyota a couple weeks ago. Like, that's out of control. It's amazing. There's just, I mean, they don't sell anywhere near. The volume that Toyota or Ford GM anybody sells. Yeah. And yet it's more valuable than those companies. Obviously, people are projecting the future.

Yeah. And their stuff is great, but I still don't know that I see that as like the ultimate solution. But whatever. I mean, like, and this is what's so funny about Elon Musk is that here's a guy who has come to the place where, as you point out, Pat, he's not only created an electric car company to try to solve the climate crisis, he's actually sending people to Mars so that we can figure out a way to get off this planet in case the climate gets so bad. That's how liberal the guy is. Yes. But the fact that he wanted to

open up his own freaking factory against government edict made him some crazy right winger. It turned the left against him. Yep. Now they hate him. Now they hate him. Because why? Because he wanted to open up his own factory. Right. He wanted to make money again? Sorry. Wanted to produce cars for people who want him. Oh, what a horrible thing to do. I know. And you know, he can't be Mr. I'm going to save the climate unless people are actually doing the thing that they're supposed to be doing at the factory.

Yes. Right. But I, and I was told quite clearly the biggest threat to us was the climate change situation. Oh, multiple times by multiple people. Not a pandemic. Right. No. That was never any.

That was George Bush's concern. that was not the left's concern and Bush was obsessed with pandemics everyone kind of just ignored him on it that one seemed like that was a little bit of a bigger situation than what we've seen with the big 0.9 degree temperature rise over the past century so so not only does he do the Tesla thing

not only does he do the space thing but now he's doing like chips in your brain to try to control seizures or depression or any number of things. Now, I'm not sure I want a chip implanted in me anywhere. But it's an amazing piece of technology if it does help people. One of the things it's supposed to do is maybe even cure depression, which would be amazing.

That's just, I mean, he's done some incredible things. He really has. And along the way has become, what, the third richest man in the world now? He just passed Mark Zuckerberg, I think, at $120 billion. or something. Can you believe $120 billion is third on the list? Amazing.

Just absolutely incredible. And you just have to sit back and kind of marvel because he's a weird guy. Oh yeah. He's a very strange person. He is.

And kind of admittedly so. And at one time, he was apparently sleeping in his factory because he couldn't get the cars produced that he wanted to get produced. I mean, it took him way longer than he thought it was going to take to produce what a $30,000 car, $30,000 version of what he was making before.

So we had to sleep on the premises in the factory in order to make that happen. To be clear, he did not need to sleep at the factory. That's what he said, Stu. He's just a weird guy. That's what he said. He's like there's no, there's never a reason the owner of the company needs to sleep on the factory floor to get a car built. That's not a thing.

That's not a thing. It's not a thing. Was he on the floor though? He was just slept right on the company. the floor. Maybe. Yeah. In a sleeping bag.

Yeah. And it was a Paw Patrol sleeping bag, which I thought was interesting. It was interesting visual. The guy does push himself really hard. Yeah, he does. And he cares. You know, and I will say, you know, he's definitely a very quirky guy. Mm-hmm.

But part of me is like, you know, if I was a billionaire, it's kind of how I roll, I think. Now, I wouldn't work as hard as him. Definitely not. No way. And I wouldn't care about the same things. I wouldn't be trying to solve the climate kind of crisis. but would I be would I build a flame thrower company probably I probably do have my own flame thrower company that would be kind of fun like I you're just going to throw money at

really crazy things that you think have a 1% chance of working you know and whatever you think the biggest like you would just do all crazy things and not apologize for them and that's what I think people like about Elon Musk like he just doesn't care you know he he obviously should not have been saying things like I don't like the regulation in California. I'm going to move to Texas. Like, as a liberal, he's not supposed to say things like that.

But he did because it's what he thought was true. He actually said at one point, was it last year? He said his stock price was way too high. Yeah. Which is kind of counterproductive. When you own a whole bunch of those stocks, you don't want them to be lowered necessarily.

Yeah. And somehow he survived that. And the stock price went up a lot. And now he's a much richer man, because of it. Amazing. The best of the Glenn Beck program. But to understand what happened on August 23rd, which was the date of the shooting, you have to go back to May 3rd.

So May 3rd is an incident. There's an incident. It's a little, it's a little icky. He was charged with third degree sexual assault, among other things. And there's some rumors going around the internet that he had, that was about sex with a minor. And so that's not true. someone has like taken a different state's third degree sexual assault law and put it in to posts online, which again is bizarre because this is bad enough.

Yeah, because I've heard that too, but not true. No, not true. Here's what the Wisconsin, there's two things that need to be true to get third degree sexual assault in Wisconsin. Number one, the defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim. Okay. Number two, the victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse. Now, to me, that's just straight out rape, right? Like that, that's, you could call it a third.

degree sexual assault if you want, but the definition of rape, I could easily define it just like that. The defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim. The victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse. Kind of just seems like straight up rape. That's what I would call it. So we now know that the woman, the alleged victim, was the same woman who called police on the day Blake was shot.

She called police on Blake because he showed up at her place when he wasn't supposed to. And the last time he was there, he was charged with. third degree sexual assault. My understanding was not only did he show up when he wasn't supposed to, showed up in the middle of the night, standing over her in her bed. So this is the May 3rd incident. I'm talking about the shooting.

So this is why he, she's calling police because this guy who showed up in the middle of the night last time he was there is a bit of a problem in her life. Okay. It's, and look, obviously we have the whole thing. This is an alleged situation at this time.

We all get trials. We all get are innocent until proven guilty. I will point out to the left. This includes the police officers. I know this is going to be shocking, but I'm going to give that benefit of the doubt to both sides. But basically what happened was the victim here, the woman, went to a party in Milwaukee the previous night.

So this is May 2nd. May 3rd, early in the morning, comes back at like 4 in the morning, arrives at home, comes in and goes to bed in her bed. Jacob Blake breaks in to her home. And she is startled awake when she, at 6 o'clock in the, the morning, she wakes up and Jacob Blake is standing over her. Okay. Now, they had known each other for years, but it was well known that he was not welcome in her home. So think about, you know, what kind of person you have to be to do this, right? Like, you need to actually break into

someone's home. You're intimidating this woman. You're standing over her. Now, she was not alone in bed. This is important to note. She was not alone in bed. She was sleeping next to one of her children. So she's alone. She's in her bed with one of her children. And then Blake assaults her in a way that I'm not going to describe here on radio. But it's not pretty. And there's a lot of really disgusting details that go along with it. We're going to spare you those.

But the police report is available. The New York Post obtained it among others. A couple of other media sources as well. But he sexually assaulted her. Now, after this. ends, he leaves, uh, the woman gets up,

collects herself, runs out of the door to basically yell at him, you know, whatever. She's very pissed off that this is a curse. Mm-hmm. She goes out to find that her car is missing. Comes back in,

looks in her purse, realizes he's taken her keys. He's taken her ATM card. She, he, uh, the car is gone. She goes in the car,

takes, and makes two withdrawals, uh, from her bank account. unauthorized withdrawals from her bank account. She's. So he stole her car and money. Now, it's interesting what happens when she actually calls 911.

Because as you know, the police are a bunch of racist monsters. They're going to come here probably and execute every minority in the place. Right? That's what I would assume is going to happen. Talking about Jacob Blake and some of his background before the shooting. You can get all the details and I have, you know, screenshots and all this stuff on the show last night on Studeau's America. go to YouTube, search for Stu. You can watch the whole show there.

You want to get additional detail. But we're going through what happened that day. And it's really ugly, honestly. She's finally, she's been assaulted. He's stolen the car. He's done all these terrible things. Now he's decided, she's called 911. The police come.

And instead of, you know, violently attacking every minority in the complex, they're actually really protective of the victim, which is, I know, a shocking thing for police to do. They take a tearful statement from her where she said her assault, quote, caused her pain. and humiliation was done without her consent.

She was, quote, very humiliated and upset by the sexual assault. They also noted that she had a very difficult time telling the officer about what had happened, and she cried as she told them how the defendant assaulted her. And so, you know, people might say, and I understand it, you know, okay, he's a bad guy. What about the incident himself, though, right? Like you could say he's a bad guy, but what about the actual incident? And this is where I think people need to focus their attention. this is the incident.

This is, if you're going to pick an incident that involves Jacob Blake, this is the one to care about. This is it. You can talk, you can put his name on your shirts if you want. But this is the incident. This is the one we should prioritize. Yes, a woman being raped next to her child in bed as she slept should take priority over an alleged rapist getting shot by police. Yes. Like, frankly, that is just true.

and you know I hear a lot of a lot of calls for justice for Jacob Blake where are the calls for justice for this woman who is sitting there Is LeBron James crying about her? No, it doesn't seem to be. It doesn't seem to be at all.

I haven't heard LeBron James say word one about this woman he raped. Where does she get to her justice? Because she doesn't see, no one seems to give a crap about that. You know, and yeah, you know, he might, maybe he doesn't deserve to be shot seven times and we can talk about the circumstances there, which we've covered.

And obviously there's a million reasons why that happened and we can go into all the details on that. But again, this is amazing. It's not like he did something where there was the thing with Eric Garner. Remember Eric Garner? And they're like, oh, you know, he should have been, you know, killed for selling loose cigarettes. It's not exactly, you know, it's not true per se, but he didn't commit a major crime to lead to the incident as it happened. This guy did commit. He committed third degree sexual assault.

You heard the definition. It's rape. The victim, by the way, uh, it was a victim of not only rape, but also her car being stolen, her bank account being stolen, several other things.

It's also not a one time incident. As the victim stated, he quote, physically assaults her around twice a year when he drinks heavily. The guy basically has a, you know, a recurring calendar event to come commit domestic abuse against this woman. And she's had to live with this entire time.

And I don't know. What's the appropriate penalty for? for this. Repeated domestic assault, grand theft auto, stealing money from a bank account, and rape. What's it?

What are you going to get? Life in prison? That might be appropriate. That might be where I landed on it. The penalty for his sexual assault is 10 years in Wisconsin. Ask me if I think that's good enough. It's not. Okay?

Ten years is a ridiculously small sentence for what this guy did. and that doesn't even include all of his other crimes, including, of course, fighting with officers, resisting arrest and all the other things that he did. So should we care about the injustice of an innocent woman who is sexually assaulted in her bed as she slept next to her child? Or should we be talking about the supposed injustice

of a frequent domestic abuser, thief, and rapist, who was shot after resisting arrest, ignoring clear directions from officers, while possessing a knife and walking through two tase attempts? Which one should we be talking about? Because that choice is easy to me. It doesn't seem to be easy to the media. It doesn't seem to be easy to the WMBA or LeBron James or Drew Brees.

And all these people who purport to care about women. Yeah. These are the people, these are supposedly the people who protect women. This is the thing that hit me, I think, harder than anything going into this. I mean, this, how the hell in the freaking Me Too era? How the hell is this happening? You know, everyone in the public eye should stop and think about what they're doing here. Imagine how this victim feels.

Imagine how this victim feels, Pat. You're burning down cities over this rapist. Yes. A rapist. And imagine the victim who sits there and watches WNBA players wear T-shirts to spell out the name of her rapist. Imagine watching Drew Brees, if you're this victim, and seeing on his helmet the name of your rapist. It's despicable.

Imagine realizing that thousands of people across the country have united an effort to give your rapist $2 million. imagine how that feels if you're the victim of his sexual assault and frequent domestic abuse. Imagine how that if we can't recognize this as a society that this is, we're doing this wrong. Police brutality is the least of our issues. I'm not saying it's, there's never been a case of it, obviously. But the last thing in the world we need to worry about, if we are a society who can't recognize that the real crime here is this poor woman who was raped in a bed next to her child as her child

slept and we have celebrities plastering their uniforms with this guy's name. It's disgusting in every possible way. It really is. I mean, and that's assuming that's assuming that the shooting wasn't justified, which I'm not convinced of. No, I mean, I think, I don't think there's going to be... I wouldn't think they'd even face charges. I would not be surprised if they faced charges because this is the new reaction. Maybe. Right?

Like Kyle Rittenhouse, look, I don't want a 17-year-old with a rifle at one of these things. No, I don't either. By any means, I don't think it's a good idea. And look, you're putting a 17-year-old into a very chaotic situation, and it's very hard to see how good could come out of it. So that being said, there's no way the man is guilty. or the kid is guilty of first-degree murder. It's ridiculous.

And everybody knows it's ridiculous. And the reason they know, the reason they did it is because we think if we overcharge him, we can get these riots to stop and we'll deal with the fact that we've overcharged him in six months. Well, and you might be dealing with a jury saying, no, you overcharge him. He's not guilty. Right. And then you're going to make it worse. That's, but this is their plan.

This is what they're doing now. Yeah. So. Unbelievable. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. and we really want to thank you for listening. And of course, now we know that Disney is also racist. Disney is.

Is racist? Yes. According to John Boyega, you know who he is, right? Yeah, the guy from Star Wars. Yeah. They're apparently racist because they just tossed aside his character and other minority characters because they were racist. He portrayed, of course, this is the character Finn on Star Wars.

It was a huge character. Huge. And part of, a huge part of what, the last three movies, right? Yeah. He was through the whole series. What do you mean?

They tossed you aside. You were in every movie. He accused the company of not giving minority characters enough depth or character development. Of course. While making white characters with more substance. He made the comments in an interview with British GQ, which is where you want to go with all your racist claims,

I think, for Disney and America. You get yourself involved in projects, and you're not necessarily going to like everything. But I would say to Disney is what they should not do is bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are, and then have them pushed aside.

Can never be woke enough, man. You never can be woke enough. It doesn't matter what you do. Here Disney makes one of the main characters in the last three movies, black, and still that's, they're racist. Right.

They're still racist for doing that. And they made one of the lead characters of a woman. Right. Right. Right. You know, people talked about at the time. A little bit controversial at the time.

It's fascinating because, and by the way, we must at least acknowledge the bravery of John Boyega for doing this after the movies are over. Right. What a, wow. We stand up and applaud your bravery of taking all the money and complaining afterward. Wow, that's incredible.

Yeah, look, he was a big feature. I think he also complained about the Asian character that was in the... He says, well, I'll take the deal when it's great experience. They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver. Now, he was the bad guy, right? It looks like the, I don't know, he looked like the Backstreet boy. All the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let's be honest, Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I'm not exposing anything. Really?

Okay, so he's just not happy with his character now. I mean, you're right. After the fact. After he's made his millions of dollars. He's very upset that he didn't get bigger. I mean, I thought his role was pretty big. I didn't too. He complained about, I think, the Asian character as well.

Who was not a good character? An unlike boy. Who is which one? I can't. I thought the name would be in the article. I can't remember her name. but she was in a short scene in one of the movies and then they tried to bring her back a couple times

but she just wasn't good like sometimes the characters suck and you just got just like you just got a bail on Jarjar Jar Jar. Yes. Everyone like they brought in Jar Jar they gave Jar Jar Jar a huge role I don't know what race he was I don't either but it was bad It was bad whatever it was and

Well he was Gungan. Gungan. Yes he was gungan Now I don't know is there an anti-Gungan sentiment in Star Wars? There might be There might be. Well it was by the fans There definitely is with me because I hated that character. Oh, he was terrible.

So they got rid of him, basically. Like, he was still walking around in the background every once in a while so they could say they didn't get rid of him. But, like, I don't think that was the case with John Boya. It was one of the main characters in all those movies. He was in it and the whole time. I thought he might be arguing, why wouldn't they get me out of that last movie? It was so bad.

They should have removed me completely. They left me in because I was black. It's not that bad. I thought it sucked. In fact, I liked it. I liked the last one. Yeah, you did. It's my fourth favorite.

Of the nine. Of the nine. It's number four. Number four out of the nine. After Empire strikes back, New Hope. Return of the Jedi. So the first three. And then you think this one.

And then this one. I'm not on the board with the Pat Gray analysis on that one. No. No. What's number four for you? Because aren't the first three the, the, for you it's not even the first three. I don't really like Return of the Jedi. I think Return of the Jedi is very overrated.

I mean, it's just basically a bunch of Ewox making noises. It's really not. There's not a lot to it. I'll say. I actually like the first one that they came out. I guess we never said. Like the 1997 one? No, the Force Awakens, which was the first JJ Abrams one.

Okay. I actually liked that one. I think you weren't as hot on that one as I was. I liked it. Okay. I mean, it's all right. I thought that one was pretty good. The middle one was awful.

That one was the one that was, I mean, they ruined Luke Skywalker in that one. I hated that one. I hated it. And by the way, Pat, we should point this out. You know, movies have been gone out of our lives for a long time. this weekend is Tenet. Right. The first real big blockbuster movie being re-released.

Yeah. It's being re-released this week. And it's the first one. There's been a couple of other smaller releases that have come out, but this is the first one they're testing. It looks really good. It looks really confusing. I feel like I'm going to walk out having no idea of what happened in it. That's what I keep.

But I'm going to go. Are you worried about going or are you going to go? Oh, I'm not worried about going. I've been to several movies. I just, this has been, well, we went together to one. That's true. That is early on. Really early.

Like the first week they opened theaters. Like May, we went to one together. We were the only two people in the entire building that didn't work there. Na, na, na, nah.
