Starting point is 00:02:26 issues. I mean, he did have a brain malfunction on the way to describing some of his, his big plans. But here's what happened first as he malfunctioned, as he always does. We've mobilized the world's leading emitters to help poor countries deal with impacts of climate change. They called it the G7 the billed back Biden, build back better. And we realized that got confusing.
Starting point is 00:02:53 So now we don't call it that. What we call it is, here's the bottom line. Look, we're the ones that cause the problem. Here's the bottom line. Well, we call it is... We cleared all our land. We did all the things that to make things more
Starting point is 00:03:07 easy for us to make money. The hell are you talking about? He has no idea. What we called it was, look, okay. What we call it? Here's the thing. That's what we're calling, build back better now? Yeah, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Here's the thing. It's America's fault. That's what we're calling it now. Well. Go, you know the thing. He most definitely is that. So bad. He is so bad.
Starting point is 00:03:33 There he is, trying desperately to blame America for all global warming. I. Why is this man in office? But he eventually got around to some plans that he has. These are great plans because who was it that would have? I mean, has anybody ever conceived of a rail line this ambitious? I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think so. Let's hear this.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Well, we're going to win and we're going to help. We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. We have plans to build in. In Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I can go on, but I'm not. I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Get in trouble for talking about spending taxpayer dollars on solar factories and stuff in Angola. Why the hell would we do that? I don't know. Nobody knows. And yet, that's our plan. I don't know. I mean, there was a number of things in that video. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:04:34 So many. Really strange. Do we have? Do we have the map of what he's talking about there where, okay, yeah. So if you're watching our police TV, there's a map from the United States, from North America, all the way across parts of Southeast Asia and then over the Indian Ocean to Africa. So that's where we're going. It's an 8,000 mile rail line. That's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:05:06 That is. That is. That's great. Some of the rail companies we're happy to hear that. Oh, man. I'd like to be the contractor on that project. No kidding. What's that going to cost?
Starting point is 00:05:17 $400 trillion? I mean, what is that going to cost? And we're not talking about, you know, just a regular cargo train. We're talking about high-speed rail. Well, it's got to be high-speed, right? Yeah, high-speed rail. There is also something called air travel that could get you there. Does that exist?
Starting point is 00:05:36 It does exist. It does? You could fly. over that whole area and get there faster than you could with a high-speed rail line across two oceans. Doesn't sound safe. It doesn't sound safe. It's relatively safe.
Starting point is 00:05:52 It's safer than driving your car someplace. Really? Yeah. Yeah, it's really rare. And certainly probably right now, safer than rail travel. Look at all the problems we've had. Oh, yeah. Well, that wouldn't happen if you had a track going across the Pacific Ocean.
Starting point is 00:06:07 No, that wouldn't have. You'd never have any problems to say with, I don't know, high winds or waves or whatever. How do you even do that? How do you build a rail line across the Pacific? Do you know how deep the Pacific is in some of those areas? On top of which you have to have an elevated for ships to get under, right? Yes, right, yes. Aren't you disturbing fish too?
Starting point is 00:06:36 Oh, yeah. Whales? Yeah. What about whales bumping into this thing? We'd have to actually stop our trip if a whale were to be just laying across the track. Yeah. Could not hit the whale. I'd like to see that.
Starting point is 00:06:50 That could not happen. No. No. Right. You got to completely shut down. That's right. Everything gets shut down. The line.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Until we can find a way to get the whale off the track or whatever. Good luck with that. That would be difficult. I mean, what are you talking about? Seriously. Is that what you're talking? You're talking about building a railway across the Pacific Ocean? Huh.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Really, huh. I mean, I know he's talking to the League of Conservation Voters. This was their dinner that he was speaking at. Okay. So, you know, he's, I guess he thinks. Is that a good way to conserve by building railroads across the Pacific? I don't know. Plus, then we, then we are talking about Angola, right?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. Yeah. We're going to spend our tax dollars. on solar plant in Angola? What? Why? No, thank you. Well, he has mentioned recently that the population of Africa where Angola is.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Right. Very soon will hit one billion people. And I'm talking as soon as 2009. So it's right. They're going to need some solar plants. Right around the corner. So they do need, but do we need to pay for it? That's my question.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Well, yes. We're the bad people. We're the bad people. Right, right, right, right. We've ruined everything. Yes, that is true. He clearly believes that. Because we were trying to make money.
Starting point is 00:08:17 We wanted to make easy money. And so we just ruined everything in our path. And we suck, don't we? He clearly believes that. He does. He obviously does. Obviously does. Then he tried to explain seat geek.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And he's, you know, so here. And so knowledgeable. They brought in all these people to the White House to have this special forum of to get rid of these hidden fees that these companies are charging. The airlines and the ticket apps. And they're charging people extorbitant amounts of money, extorbitant amount of money. And they only find out at the end of their order. So while the time you're at the end of the order, I guess there's no way to say no. Yeah, you can't still.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Yeah. So we've got to find a way to tack that price on early. I mean, there are exorbitant fees. I know there's different fees. And it does double the price sometimes. I know. I know. Some of the charges do seem to be wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Like, why am I paying for this? I get it. I get it. But he doesn't even. He doesn't even know what it is. Agonizing because he's made such a big deal about it. And he doesn't even know what the hell it is. Yeah, listen to this.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Other tickets sold on its platform. The ticket seller, seat, Greek, is also set to give customers the option of seeing all in up front prices. It's where Greeks can go and sit. A Greek. Seat Greek. So what they do, though, is charge people money for their service. They're bad.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I don't know what they are. But I know they're bad. He has no clue. No idea. He's never used it. He's never heard of it until this announcement. And he's acting like this is something he's been concerned with for some time. Very serious.
Starting point is 00:10:16 When you get this taken care, I'm working for the people. Yeah. Along with my plan to build a railroad across the Pacific and the Indian oceans, I've also had this plan in mind ever since I started using seat Greek. And I know that build back Biden was or build back better was to confuse. using. Yeah. So we gave it a new name.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Mm-hmm. You know. I don't know what that new name is. Go, you know the thing. You know the thing. You know the thing. Seat Greek is right next to seat Persian. Because they had that battle.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I saw it on a movie. And so Seat Greek and Seat Persians are getting along now. Oh, that's good. But we need them to stop. charging people. Right. So that's what he's going to do. They're going to get a,
Starting point is 00:11:08 they're going to get all of these companies. These hidden fees that. To be open about it. Appear to me not to be hidden. Does he want them to remove the fees or do they just have to put it up front where, you know, and that wouldn't, that would be welcome to me.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Tell me what it really costs. Because if you tell me that the seat that I'm buying is $40 and then it turns out to be 80, that does piss me on. Now I can turn that down and just say, I'm not buying it. My point is, it's not hidden. You know, they don't, when you say yes, it doesn't say you said yes to 40, and then you look at your bank account and got charged 80.
Starting point is 00:11:43 That would be hidden. Yes, right. It's hidden until the end. Sometimes they tack on the fees at the end and then you see what it is. Right. I understand. I may have used seat Greek before. Yeah, have you?
Starting point is 00:11:58 What about seat Persian? Have you ever used that? No. Okay. How about seat Macedonia? You, that. Okay. I'm not familiar with that.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I'm sorry. So, you know, somebody asked him a question that he did not appreciate. And this is happening a little bit more often. Yes, it is. Every once in a while, somebody asks him something he does not want to deal with. Well, you know, there's a lot of news breaking around the Biden family. There's a lot of things. Yeah, there sure is.
Starting point is 00:12:29 There's a lot of things breaking. There's a lot of things. I know that he's got nothing to do with, you know, the Justice Department going after his main opponent for the presidency of the United States, Donald Trump. But it does seem coincidental that when news breaks around the Biden family, that something else breaks around Donald Trump. And that's what the news talks about. Isn't that interesting? It is interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So he just laughs off a question that he got yesterday. Why are you asking you Why are you asking such a dumb question? Yeah, okay. So this is where you ask me dumb questions. Yeah. So the other day was the day when he was walking and he laughed about it. Didn't even answer it.
Starting point is 00:13:15 They don't even deserve an answer from me. I'm not going to talk to you about it. So they ask him about the bribery thing and his only response is why are you asking me such dumb questions? Just a dumb question. Why is that a dumb question? It wouldn't be if this was Donald Trump I was talking about it. Most certainly would not be if it was Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:13:31 really I mean we're at a point now where he's going to have to address it at some point and legitimately address it not treat people like their idiots because they're asking the question
Starting point is 00:13:44 we're not to that point yet but we will get there I think if they keep pushing him a little bit I know as long as the pressure stays on him yeah eventually he's going to start he's going to have to start answering to this stuff I mean I hope
Starting point is 00:13:59 you would think in a free repul where we do have a free press that somewhere, sometime somebody is going to force the issue. Yeah, I hope so. And they're going to be in front of them and he's going to have to address it. Now, will he stumble and bumble through it? Probably. Does he remember half of what they're talking about?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Probably not. No, he does not. I mean, it's embarrassing. It is. It's embarrassing. It is. It is. Truly is embarrassing. And there's more embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:14:31 to feel regarding this president. Coming up in one minute. You know, you've heard Glenn say plenty of times that dog food is dead food. And sadly, that's true. Because as we all know, nutrition isn't brown. Good nutrition is green. Founder of rough greens, natural pathopathic doctor Dennis Black suggested that I remind all of Glenn's listeners that rough greens is not a dog food.
Starting point is 00:14:55 It's also not a medicine. It's a blend of live and 100% natural nutrients, which is exactly what your dog needs. It'll get rid of their bad breasts. Stop itching and scratching. Improve their energy. Help their shine and their furry coats. So many more things.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Rough greens? It's simply amazing. Dogs love it too. And Dr. Black is so convinced, I mean, really convinced that this will help your dog too. He's offering a free jumpstart trial bag so your dog can try it out first before you really make an investment in it. Don't change your dog's food. Just add a scoop of rough. to it every day.

Starting point is 00:15:57 Let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. All right, we got more from our fabulous brain dead leader. This guy just unbelievable. He loves to go back to the same phrases that he uses over. Same stories. All of it. Speaking of trains, how many times have we heard the train story about Ange, the engineer? It's been proven wrong so many times.
Starting point is 00:16:33 The guy was dead when it supposedly took place. When his big story about Ange, I told him that, uh, I don't know what. I fly a lot and I've flown 17. And sometimes he ties in the Xi Jinping story. Oh yes, the 17,000 miles. Yes, because Ange told him that he. That's nothing. He told me where I've been on the Amtrak trains for more than anyone.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Two million miles. Right, right, right, right. Two million miles. He's traveled Amtrak for two million miles. Well, he's gone with, he's flown with Jijim Ping 17 or 18,000 miles. Right. And then there's... Nobody's spent more time.
Starting point is 00:17:12 No. No one has spent more time with Zijing Pink. And it's incomprehensible to me why that's a good thing. I have no idea. Why he's so in love with the story. It's bad. It's the opposite of a good thing. But here's another one of his tried and true nonsensical stories.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So my mother would drive us to school every day. Yeah. On cue. He's got to do this because he's at the conversation. The first major frost. And the late fall. My mom would be getting the car, turn on the windshield wiper to get the jet the, the do off of it. The do.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And there'll be oil slicks. The oil slicks. Literally. Oil slits. How many folks across the country have had similar experiences? No one? No one? No, folks?
Starting point is 00:18:04 How many of you have had the same experience? Wait, let me recount. Let me recount here, Karen. No, no. Nobody has that story where they're getting oil slicks off of their windshield. What are you talking about? That's not the first time that he's done this stupid story. He's told it over and over again that they've got an oil slick on their windshield because of a refinery in town. Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:18:27 It was some manufacturing plant that spewed their wares all over his cars. I lived in Houston, Texas for eight years. where they've got many oil refineries. Is your car even clean to this day? Not to this day. And I've switched cars since then. Really? This one is dirty from never having been in Houston.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Is that weird? It is weird. But you just said it never happened. It never happened. I mean, Beaumont. Have you ever been to Beaumont, Texas? Beautiful, especially this time of year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I mean, you can smell the, whatever it is that's going on in Bowman. you can absolutely smell it. And there's no oil slicks on people's wings. If there is, let us know, because if there's a similar story where people are using their windshield wipers to get oil slicks off their window because of the refineries, I'd love to hear from it. Yeah. About it.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I mean, I guess it's possible. I guess if we want to try to say that, I guess it's possible that, you know, before many of the government regulations came in, that some. Some of the foundry and factory owners, you know, didn't care. Right, maybe. You know, during the old days of Pittsburgh and Detroit and my hometown of Saginaw, Michigan, definitely had that. It was dirtier. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It was. Yes. But was it that bad to where you had an oil slick on your windshield? I don't believe it. I don't know. I just don't believe it. They said the General Motors was dumping stuff in the river of my hometown, which is why it never froze. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah. When I remember, my grandfather told me. me as a kid. That happened way back then, way back when. Well, your grandfather probably told you tales of Cleveland when the river was on fire. Yeah. It was either Lake Erie or the river that feeds it burst into flames on a regular basis. So your grandfather ever told you about that?
Starting point is 00:20:27 He talked about the, he talked about waters on fire with me. Yeah. Yeah. Which seems like a bad thing. It does seem like a bad thing. But he keeps going back. You know, he did the, we don't have to play it because it's like three or four minutes but they had Eva Longoria
Starting point is 00:20:39 at the White House last night. Of course they're promoting her new film and everybody's happy, happy, huggy, huggy. What is her new film? Is it about Flaming Hot or something? Probably because it's called Flaming Hot. I don't know. I haven't seen it, but it's called Flaming Hot. We might have to play this because I...
Starting point is 00:20:56 But he, Jill introduces her and says her name wrong, by the way. Then she's so stupid. He, she introduces Joe Biden after she kisses his butt. He lies about Winnie how long he's known her, goes back to his tried and true joke about being Jill's husband. It's just unbelievable. Everything about him disgusts me. Everything he says, everything he does every day.

Starting point is 00:22:44 Hey, check out my podcast Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher available wherever you get your podcasts. It is Pat and Jeffie for Glenn. Glenn's back on Monday morning. AAA 727B-E-C-K. Now, Jeffie mentioned a few minutes ago that yesterday, Eva Longoria was at the White House. Yeah, they had a big filming. showcasing her new movie, Flaming Hot.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And it's not, surprisingly, it is not about global warming. I know. Amazing. You would think from Eva Longoria and a movie that the White House is shopping to the country, you would think it's climate change. I know. But it's about Doritos. Correct.
Starting point is 00:23:46 That's amazing. I guess it's a true story about a janitor who came up with the idea of a hot chip. Yeah, the Richard Montan. Montoyas, Montanez. He is the son of migrants who picked grapes as a child, experienced poverty, discrimination. Discriminate, yes, racism, lack of opportunity. Xenophobia. On a daily basis.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah. And overcame it all. So. Overcame at all. This man. And so apparently Eva Longoria is not even in the movie, right? Yeah, I don't even know. It's her directorial debut.
Starting point is 00:24:23 According to the IMDB, they don't have her listed as a. any of the acting roles, although I'm sure she may play some. If it's a show about Doritos, you're going to see grocery shelves. So, you know, she may be walking down the aisle in a grocery store or something for a little. Or maybe she stacks the shelves. Maybe that's her role. I don't know. Maybe she's not in it at all.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I will say the years I spent working in the grocery business, I don't recall anyone looking like her stocking shelves. I'm a fan of it if that's the case. Yeah. So anyway, Jill. Oh, yes. So they're there. Jill introduced her. They're there. Jill opens up, which is agonizing, as always. In and of a self-agonizing, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I dislike her nearly as much as Joe. You do? I do. Well, then she introduces Eva. And I'm sure she says her name wrong. Yeah. You tell us. Does she get the name wrong? And then Eva goes on about, oh, I mean, you'll hear her. And then she introduces Joe.
Starting point is 00:25:24 and then Joe tells a couple more lies. Okay. And she was some icky joke about him being old and her being young, which was wrong to begin with. I mean, the whole thing is. Everything he ever says is wrong or a lie or both. Listen to this. This film isn't just about Richard.
Starting point is 00:25:45 It's about everyone who has been overlooked and underestimated, but reached for a dream anyway. It's about sacrifice and love and partnership. How when someone sees the possibility that you hold, you can find the courage to take risks and rise to the top, no matter what stands in your way. No matter what. And it's about the entire community who came together to make this movie possible.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Of course, that effort has been led by the incompetent, Iva LaGoria. Eva LaGoria. Pause it for a second. We're honored. Okay, she's so incomparable. I don't even know how to pronounce her name. Eva LaGoria.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Get on up here. Eva LaGoria. Okay. I thought you might cut for that. All right. All right. Eva lets it go, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 What are you going to say? What are you going to do? You said my name wrong. Punch it right in the face. No, that's not going to happen. And here's what Eva had to say. We're honored to screen your movie here today. Oh, well, not yet, but soon.
Starting point is 00:26:59 So now we get to bring this story to La Casablanca under an administration that believes in our community and shares our values. Oh, we should do. And that's very, very important. We have a lot of work to do, you guys. It's a lot of work coming. And we have to make sure that entrepreneurs and visionaries like Richard have the opportunities. and that infrastructure of opportunity to make their dreams a reality
Starting point is 00:27:28 and that can only happen when you have leaders like President Biden. You've got to be kidding. So throughout Biden's career, I've been working with President Biden for many, many years and it has always been a great joy. We share so much. He's been a champion for working people
Starting point is 00:27:48 in search of the American dream. You know, what? What he's been doing for the country means there's going to be a lot more Richard Montaignez's ready and waiting to take their shot to make history. So it is my honor and sincere pleasure to introduce you tonight. The man who's been fighting for us all, fighting for Latinos, fighting for Americans, fighting for workers. And most importantly, I'm sorry, he's fighting for Latinos.
Starting point is 00:28:17 That's what she said. There are 85,000 missing children who have sneaked across this border. most of them Latinos. Not all of them, but most of them are going to be Hispanic, Latino, whatever. 85,000. He couldn't care less
Starting point is 00:28:38 about Latinos. Latinos' jobless rate is up since Donald Trump. Don't tell me this guy cares about Latinos. He's fighting for America. Stand it. Oh, I can't stand this stuff. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Fighting for democracy. Well, yes, because we're not a democracy. A man who understands and embodies the values of family community and perseverance, please help me welcome, President Biden. Pause it again for a second. This man understands family values so well. Yes, he does. He won't even claim the grandchild he has in Arkansas from hunters.
Starting point is 00:29:22 That doesn't even exist. There's enough of them. snorting coke off a stripper's belly and then impregnating her and then ignoring the fact that he has a child in Arkansas. Talking about the dancer? Yes. That's what you're referring to as a stripper. Okay. That's, I guess that's one of us.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He's honest. All right, here's Biden. My name's Joe Biden. I'm Jill Biden's husband. Thank you for that introduction. and congratulations I accept your debut as a director adding another accomplishment
Starting point is 00:30:05 to an already incredible career. We've known it to her the long time. She was 17, I was 40. No. No. No. Not a joke. She was seven. She would have been seven when he was 40. When he was 40. When she was 17, he was 50. It's still creepy.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Either way, it's creepy. Thank you. Did he have more? Oh, gosh. That was enough. She's now 48. Eva Longoria. You believe that?
Starting point is 00:30:38 I mean, man, where is the time gone? All right. It goes by fast. It sure does. It sure does. And when you've been working with him, your whole life, man. Right. It just flies by because he's done such a great job for the community.
Starting point is 00:30:54 He has. You really have. Thank you. He had a busy day yesterday. He had to be in his little gathering to make sure that seat Greek didn't. Seat Greek. Well, and he should know Seat Greek because he's partially Greek. I mean, yeah, remember he grew up at a Greek area?
Starting point is 00:31:12 For the Senate seat when I was 29 years old, it was because I started to call me Joe Bidenopoulos. You think I'm kidding. He's not. I'm not joking. I'm not stupid. Then he's Italian too. Dominic Giac Giacoppa's daughter. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I got an old Italian to me now. Yeah, not only that, but what about the Polish? Polish or Italian. I grew up feeling self-conscious. My name didn't end in the S-K-I or no. Yeah, right. See. I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home politically.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Huh. And so we came here for a long time. Yeah, right. I got raised in the black church. Oh, and the black church. I got my education. In the black church? For real.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah. In the black church. And that's not hyperbole. It's a fact. No. I probably went to Shul more than many of you did. So, I mean, his background is so varied. He's lived and grown up in so many environments that it's hard to keep track of them.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And he's honest. So we got that going for us, too. All right, let's check in with Jeffey and the Fat Five. Really? Yeah. You do the Fat Five here? Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Well, let's knock it out then. I'll have to find my fat five here. Chewing the fat fat five, number one. Okay, a little bit of a PSA here. Efforts to find a missing four-foot-long Tago lizard named Echo, who's been missing since June 4th after digging her way out of an enclosure in Workington, England. Apparently, also runs like a T-Rex. Those efforts are being hindered by toxic hoax sightings.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Okay? Oh, no. And Pet Encounter Cumbria. said that these false reports have prompted volunteers to search areas several miles away, and they are disgusting. All right, they've now issued a 500 euro reward for Echo's return, and I don't want to hear about any false reporting going on, all right? It's just not funny.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Whatever you do, wherever you are in Cumbria County or elsewhere, stop calling in reports to Pet Encounter Cumbria of Echo sightings. Or sightings of a miniature T-Rex running around your neighborhood. It just isn't funny. Not a joke. It just isn't funny, okay? There's enough pressure and stress. So only call Pet Encounter Cumbria if you're sure you saw Echo.
Starting point is 00:33:39 All right? All right. Thank you. During the fat number two, fat pile number two, get ready to see the doors closed on the UPS trucks while on the road. UPS has reached a tentative deal with Teamsters Union, representing the driver. and all of the, you know, 340,000 UPS workers. The deal is going to include AC in package delivery vehicles. Air conditioning has been a major sticking point in negotiations between the company and the union.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Wait, those trucks aren't air-conditioned? The UPS trucks aren't out. That's why you see them with the driving with the doors open all the time. Oh, my gosh. So what is this? 1948? Yes. So the tentative language to equip the delivery and logistics companies
Starting point is 00:34:21 fleet of vehicles with air conditioning systems. new heat shields and additional fans. In cab air conditioning and most delivery vehicles purchased after January 1st, 2024. Until then, two fans would be installed in all packaged cars and all newer non-electric package cars would get exhaust heat shields. So working conditions in hot weather has been a point of contention for the drivers and the union leaders. They've been whining about having to go to the hospital for heat illnesses. in recent years and some nearing kidney failure.
Starting point is 00:34:57 It's important to stay hydrated. Okay? NBC News also reported that temperature readings for the backs of trucks in Arizona and Florida, I don't even mention Texas, have exceeded 150 degrees Fahrenheit. My gosh. That's nuts. That is. That is crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I mean, UPS delivers well. 25 billion packages a year, literally. You couldn't have any of condition those trucks? No, they haven't for a long time. Yeah. Crazy. That's nuts. And the union could still strike if they don't finish this deal up by July 31st.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And, of course, UPS confirmed the tentative agreement and said it's going to continue to prioritize the health and safety of its drivers. That's nice. Because they certainly doesn't seem that they have been. No, it doesn't, does it? Since they didn't care by that. You can drive around those 150 degree trucks. Shut on. Number three, here in the two of the fat five.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Earlier this week, I joked around about Donald Trump being president from a jail cell, which admittedly would be a tight squeeze. I mean, we were reminded by Jan Koprek on Twitter. The resolute desk is four by six. Prison cell is six by eight. It's tight squeeze. Still possible, though. But I don't want him to be in jail.
Starting point is 00:36:09 However, he could still run for president if in jail. And it's been done before. Eugene V. Debs was in an Atlanta penitentiary. serving a 10-year sentence. And some of this... Isn't Debs a socialist? Well, Pat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:28 He was convicted for violating the espionage act of 1917. All right. After the prosecution argued that his anti-war speech obstructed military enrollment. Oh, that's not cool. No. They put him in jail for that? That's correct. He was outspoken against...
Starting point is 00:36:50 World War I. I'm sorry, America's involvement in World War I. And so they threw him in jail. Get out of here. And 19, so he ran for president. And that was like the fourth time he'd run. Yeah, he ran all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:06 This is its fifth run. And I love his campaign button that read for president, the convict number 9653. It's funny. Awesome. It's really awesome. I would love to have that button by the way. And then President Harding commuted his sentence in 1921. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:25 You know what? World War I, we're done with you. Go ahead. Get out. You're not going to be president. And we don't care about it at World War I anymore. So get out. No problem.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Have it taken care. You may need to dry your eyes for this. No, Pat. Instant pot. The easy to use pressure cooker that gained popularity in 2016. Right. Dominating cooking blogs. I mean, 65 easy instant pot recipes.
Starting point is 00:37:50 for quick weeknight dinners. And I mean, it was a top seller on Amazon Prime Days. In 2019, a private equity firm, Cornell Capital, scooped it up. They wanted to scoop up the Swiss Army knife of kitchen appliances with dreams of taking over kitchens everywhere. Well, the parent company, Instant Brands, just filed for Chapter 11. Oh, no. This week. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I hate to hear that. I know. All right. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C. More coming up. The Glenn Back program. Sign up for the free newsletter today at glenbeck.com. Life is about being active, whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising.
Starting point is 00:38:41 You know you're well when you're regularly active. But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day? This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago. Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for was held captive to almost constant nagging pain. When I heard about relief factor, I was skeptical. but my wife said, give it a chance. Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since. And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors. And about 70% of the people

Would Jeffie finish up the Fat Five with number five here? I'd like to congratulate a patient in Sri Lanka who has now had the world's largest kidney stone removed. Five point two six inches long weighing in.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Coming in at 1.76 pounds. And if you're watching on Blaze TV, It's very large and nasty The size of a grapefruit as long as a banana How did the guy live through that? I don't know. I don't know. Congratulations on your two world records.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Good for you. Biggest and longest. Yikes. The Glenn Beck program. There's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus, it's the series Stephen King calls Scarious Hell.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Everything here. It's impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Starting point is 00:41:37 This is the Glenn Beck program. Hmm, tell you about the golf deal, goes way beyond golf, apparently. And why? In just one minute. You know, there's a reason the right to keep in bare arms is the Second Amendment. It was only slightly less important, I guess, than the first one, because it was put in place partly to protect the first one.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Having guns means we have a responsibility to use them wisely and staying practiced is critical for that, and that means spending time at the gun range, practicing, which can get pretty expensive, you know, or at least that's what it used to mean. This is why you need the Mantis X. It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military, and it helped you improve your shooting really quickly. You attach it to your firearm and connect with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Then, whether you're firing actual rounds or even dry fire practicing, it will give instant feedback, on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.
Starting point is 00:42:54 94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis X. It's like having the firearms instructor right in your front pocket. And just as importantly, and probably less painful than having a firearms instructor in your pocket, too. Because that would, you know, depending on what he weighs, how big he is, it might be a little uncomfortable. But just as importantly, it's going to save you a bunch of money. Start improving today. Get yours at Mantis X, M-A-N-T-I-S-X.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Mantis-X.com. That's mantis-X.com. So you know about this PGA-Live-Soddy Golf Tour merger, right? Yeah. Well, the Justice Department has just notified the PGA that they're going to investigate the situation. Huh. Yeah, they just want to take a look.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yeah, I just want to take a look, see. That's all the government wants to do is take a look see. Make sure everything's okay, you know. It's working around okay. That's why I found it interesting that what's his face? Monaghan. Jay Monaghan. He called in sick.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Head of the PGA. Yeah, he called in sick. I've got to take some sick leave. Oh, for the U.S. Open? Is that what? The U.S. Open started yesterday. Yeah, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:14 But prior to that, prior to that. Prior to that, he... Oh, it's a USGA. Is that different than the PGA? Obviously it is. So that's why he's not there. Okay, Mr. golfer, but he's on, he's on...
Starting point is 00:44:26 Golf is agonizing to me. I'll tell you that, first of all. I'm not a huge fan either, but... But no, Monaghan called in sick. I mean, he took taking sick leave now. So I don't even know, you know, if he's going to come back, whatever. He's just taking complete sick leave. Like, are you guys looking into us?
Starting point is 00:44:43 I can well... How much money are we going to make? who's making all the money, boy, I don't feel good. I can imagine where he might not show up in person for a while. Oh, I mean, well, he's literally not doing his job. You would not want to face that. Well, he only makes $14 million a year.
Starting point is 00:45:00 What do you want him to do? Yeah, but that was. You want him to show up at every event? That was before live. Yeah. It was way before live. So he definitely doesn't want anything to do with. Now, he may be sick.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I don't know. He may have actual illness. Wrong with him? So if he does, I hope you get better, Jay. Mm-hmm. I do. So let's see. So the PGA, the Pro Golfers Association,
Starting point is 00:45:23 is different than the United States Golfers Association. Okay. So that's, that might have something to do with it. But I'm sure that Jay Monaghan would normally be there, right? Well, even if he's not there in person. I mean, yes, he probably would be, yes. But my point was is that when they, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:41 the government decided that they were going to start, you know, take a pixie. Yeah. What's going on behind the, let's peel another layer off the onion of this live PGA deal. But I'd love to talk to you guys. I'm just not going to be there. Dang it. Oh, darn.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. So this review by the Justice Department, which had already been investigating the PGA tour and other leading golf bodies for anti-competitive behavior. Right. Well, that's all started because of the live thing, though. Right? I mean, that's when they were. And that's when, in the beginning, that's when Monaghan was saying how terrible
Starting point is 00:46:14 live was and they were the worst people on earth and you couldn't do business with them. I don't even want them walking the same planet as me. And then a year later, oh, you know, I sure, we took some money. And now that they're looking into it, apparently this makes any transaction between the two entities, it take even longer. So this thing's going to draw out for a while. It may not even actually happen. Some people are speculating. It may not even come to fruition. I don't know. We'll see. It kind of feels like it still might, though. I mean, it's an awful lot of money. A lot of money.
Starting point is 00:46:48 They don't even specify how much. It's so much. Correct. Well, live or Piff or whatever they are. I mean, they have quite a bit of money. The sovereign fund. Quite a bit of money. The sovereign wealth fund holds in it right now.
Starting point is 00:47:02 They've got 650 billion in assets. 650 billion. That's what I said. Quite a bit of money. Something like $85. billion, just cash on hand. Like they carry that around in their wallet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Okay, you need an extra, what, 30, 40 billion? All right. Let me see. You want that in ones or? How should I pay you with that? Let me run to the closet and get the suitcase out. I'll put some cash in here for you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:47:34 I mean, it's pretty incredible. The tour, PGA tour and Saudi PIF, along with Europe's DP World Tour, somehow, I don't know, they're connected to this too, and nobody's really talking about that. Oh, yeah, that was part of the deal. Because originally, the PGA was reported that they were in talks with taking that over. And no one knew about this, the live deal. So that was like the smokescreen. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:01 You know, they kept everybody away from not knowing about the live deal. So when they announced the live deal, the European League, whatever they call themselves. DP World. Yeah. They were, that was just part of the deal. Oh yeah, we've been working on that. That's part of the deal. We're just taking that over too.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Okay. But I will say again, if, man, if I was Rory McElroy, I would really be pissed off at this point. Oh, man. He's handled himself pretty darn well, I think, under the circumstances of turning down $300 million to be loyal to the PGA and to be loyal to his own principles where, yeah, I don't want to get in bed with these guys. They've got terrible human rights abuses. on their record. I'm not going to, you know, they just killed Jamal Khashoggi a few years ago. I'm not going to be a part of that.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Right. 300 million. Nope. And now they merged with the organization that was supposed to be the one that was, you know, helping you maintain your principles. I hate to remind everybody, but Donald Trump told you so. Yeah, he did. Over a year ago. He truthed it or tweeted it or whatever he did.
Starting point is 00:49:07 But, I mean, he told everybody, hey. Yeah, you did. Take the money now because. when we merge, you're getting nothing. Go on. Take the money and run. Where's the money?
Starting point is 00:49:19 Right. Steve Miller said it in 1973 or four. And it's true today. Steve Miller did. It's just as true today. Go on. Take the money and run. Hey, congratulations too.
Starting point is 00:49:32 We forgot to mention yesterday. The Republicans defeated the Democrats in their traditional baseball game. Oh. 16 to 6. Oh, good. They crushed them. How about that? And I love the CNN story about the game talks about how Texas representative
Starting point is 00:49:51 Jasmine Crockett broke new ground Wednesday night as the first black woman Democrat to play in the congressional baseball games, 114 year history. The first black woman Democrat. Yeah, because when you get down into the story, way down in it's, oh, yeah, that representative of me of love. I was the first black Republican woman. So the first woman of color was Mia Love, who just happened to be a Republican. Huh. You mean they broke that ground? That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:50:24 That is interesting. Just like all the rest of the ground that the Republicans have broken. That's exactly right. In civil rights, they broke that ground too. That's exactly. Man. It's just unbelievable to me. It's just agonizing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:50:38 It sure is. I think you got some audio playing. somewhere. It was me. All right. Because I was getting into a new website and that website decided that it needed to tell me something. You know what? That should be illegal.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Where these things just start playing. If I want to play it, I'll push the start button. As soon as you should be illegal. Yes. Pop-up ads should be illegal. It's just unbelievable. Anyway. Some might say, yeah, you could mute.
Starting point is 00:51:14 your computer as I have done just in case. You know, I did. You did. Then how do we get the audio, I wonder? Huh, that's weird. I did. I've been listening to something else. Let me eat.
Starting point is 00:51:28 So I saw, speaking to baseball, though, I see where Nevada has okayed the baseball stadium for the Oakland A's to come to Las Vegas, baby. Oh, okay. The state is going to give them like $380 million. for a new stadium. They say it's going to cost $1.5 billion or whatever. It's going to be, I think one of the smallest seat-wise, like $30,000 on the strip. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Oh, it's on the strip, too? It's going to be on the strip. It's going to replace where the old Tropicana was. Okay. There's enough acreage start to do that? That's interesting. You know what else is interesting? Is taxpayers funding these sports stadiums?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Yes, it is. That's interesting. Without funding it. I mean, I wonder if the taxpayers of Nevada find that interesting as well. Hey, I don't mind paying another $340 million in taxes so we can... $380 million in taxes. What's another $40 million among friends? You know, let's go ahead and build the stadium for them.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Well, you're only paying a portion of it. Right. You're creating jobs. You're paying a portion of it. And they claim that... The team owners should pay the entire bill. The team has to create or purpose. that they've created like a couple million dollars a year in revenue for the city or the state
Starting point is 00:52:51 for them to continue some other tax breaks that they're going to get. So congratulations in Oakland. You know, have a nice day. You guys, I'm sorry to see that happen to Oakland. It's going to be sagebrush blowing through that town. Yeah, no kidding. Everybody left. And I will say this.
Starting point is 00:53:08 It's interesting that Major League Baseball is building a new stadium. It's going to have a retractable. roof, and yet the National Football League is allowing a stadium to be built in Buffalo, New York, a new stadium in Buffalo, New York without a roof. That is a crime. No, it isn't. It is criminal. Football.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It is unbelievable that that is allowed in today's world. Football is a cold weather sport, my friend. And part of the fun. Welcome to the 1970s. No. Part of the fun is to have football be played in bad weather conditions. And you know what, college football covers that. But when we get to the NFL, it's worth too much, and there's too much at stake,
Starting point is 00:53:54 and there's too much talent, put a roof on the stadiums. Let's see the games play. This is silly. And it makes perfect sense, though, in Las Vegas because it's too hot. Okay, I'm sorry. It's too hot. I want air conditioning when I'm going to the game. But it's okay if there's 25 feet of snow.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yes. Did Buffalo ever have to move a game because it was too much snow? and then they had to go to, oh, I know a city that had a domed stadium. I mean, it's unbelievable to me that the NFL is allowing this to happen. What a sissy you are on this particular issue. You are an absolute wuss cake on this issue. Football is an outdoor game. It's not an indoor game.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Baseball's a little bit different because, you know, it's a warm weather game. And then it's really warm in Las Vegas, and you don't want it that warm. I mean, you see what Major League Baseball is actually, you know, coming around, right? They had the stadium here in Dallas that didn't have a roof. And then I was like, you know, we're going to build a new stadium and put a roof on it. And it's going to have a roof. Yeah. In Texas. We want to block the sun a little bit. Yes. Well, because as we said on my show this morning, the sun is only 37 miles away from Texas. 37 miles. Some days. Even closer. Yeah. Yeah. Like yesterday, it was seven miles away from the surface of Texas.
Starting point is 00:55:12 It was what? I mean, I don't even know what the heat index yesterday was, but it was supposedly the most humid day in Dallas history. Well, they said since we've gotten so much rain and then now then the sun has moved closer to the state of Texas. And that creates the humidity. Right. So we will have that for the next few days if you're anywhere in the Texas area. It's miserable. All right, AAA 727BECK. It's Pat and Jeffey.
Starting point is 00:55:41 We're glad on the Glenn Beck program. More in one minute. So if pain has gotten aggressive, will you get aggressive back with it? Don't let it kick you around like a soccer ball. It only gets worse as the day goes on. You get up early in the morning like I do and then the pain is already there. And then throughout the course of the day, because you're moving around and doing things, it hurts even more.
Starting point is 00:56:06 It can get debilitating. I mean, the only thing you want to do is just sit or lay somewhere. And that's really not the best option, is it? Because that allows the pain to just continue to win. If you're living with pain that's gotten aggressive with you, it's time to get aggressive back. Let me recommend Relief Factor. Give it a try.
Starting point is 00:56:25 You could end up getting your life back. The three-week quick start, it's only 1995. And that's a trial pack. It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors. And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered a relief factor. About 70% of them, 7 out of 10, go on to oral. order more, which means it's working for them. If it doesn't work for you after about three weeks, it's probably not going to and just
Starting point is 00:56:48 discontinue the use of it. But if it's working, if you're feeling some relief, then you'll order more. Go to relieffactor.com or you can call 804 relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start. Again, that's relieffactor.com or 800, the number four, relief. Relief factor. Feel the difference. Let's take 10 seconds for station identification. Shall we?
Starting point is 00:57:12 Sure. Why not? Welcome to it. It is Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn this week. Meanwhile, you know, we were just speaking of the live tour from Saudi Arabia. As all of this is going on, right now as we speak, Amnesty International is trying to intervene. They're about to execute seven people, seven men. who committed crimes before they were 18
Starting point is 00:57:48 and got the death penalty for it. And who Saudi Arabia is doing this? Saudi Arabia. No, Saudi Arabia. Okay. So Amnesty International right now is putting a bunch of pressure on Emmanuel Macron from France because he's got the Crown Prince visiting
Starting point is 00:58:04 and they're trying to say, hey, you pressure him not to kill these guys, okay? And it's going to be interesting to see if they do. In light of the bad publicity that, Saudi Arabia gets, it seems like this might be a way to soften a blow a little bit. It might be actually. Hey, you know what? All right.
Starting point is 00:58:24 We're going to show some mercy to these seven. It might be. I mean, it would be interesting to see what he had to say if, if Emmanuel has got the guts to bring it up. I mean, he's trying to portray himself as the new world leader, right? I mean, he's trying to pick up where we have left off because we've got such inept, terrible brain dead leadership. Right. I mean, and so it'd be a good time for him to step that roll up too.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Wouldn't it? It would look good for both of them if he were able to make that happen. It really would. Really would. Also of note is that the Fox News producer that Tucker Carlson just talked about in his latest rant on Twitter. Have you seen this yet? I have. I did watch it. I watched it last night. It's a really interesting, really good.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Really good. Yeah, very good. I really enjoyed it. You know, I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't us. I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it. You know, we've done all the stories. We have. We've done all the stories in it.
Starting point is 00:59:27 But the way he packaged it was awesome. It's nicely done. Brilliant. Yeah, just really nicely done. Because what happened was Fox News had this producer. And I think he was Tucker's producer when Tucker was still at Fox. but as Tucker pointed out, well respected, a guy that everybody thought was really good at the place. And he put up a Chiron the other day.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Joe Biden on one side, it was a split screen of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. At the same time. I mean, it was the same day that Trump was arrested. And then he went back to New Jersey and gave a speech. And Biden was speaking at the same time. And do you have the exact words of the caron? It was about... Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House
Starting point is 01:00:14 after having his political rival arrested. It's accurate. So what's the problem? Well, the problem was Fox News is trying to be more politically correct than that. They went nuts. And they made him take it down within 27 seconds. So obviously the brass saw it and they called down to the studio and they get that Kairon off the screen right now.
Starting point is 01:00:38 And then they fired the producer. for putting it up. So. They, they, it had been, it was addressed. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:48 it was addressed. It was addressed. They addressed it. All right. So the producer, as, as Tucker pointed out last night in his rant,
Starting point is 01:00:56 he even offered to, okay, well, you know, I'll go, but I'll give you two weeks if you want. And they said, nope,
Starting point is 01:01:03 get your stuff and get out now. Back it and go. Immediately. That's how pissed they were. Back at a go, yeah. So Tucker kind of explains,
Starting point is 01:01:11 just exactly why Joe Biden is nothing like a wannabe dictator. How wrong that Tyron was. How dare Fox News. I don't even know where you would get that. Right. And then he goes systematically. In fact, it's episode four of his Twitter posts. And it's titled,
Starting point is 01:01:34 want to be dictator. I will say it feels like it's being throttled a little, though, to be. I don't know why. It's like this right now, It says it only has 16.6 million views. Oh, that's quite a bit lasted. It hasn't been 24 hours, so I guess. And that's a lot of views, but not compared to what he has been getting.
Starting point is 01:01:52 I mean, the last one already has almost 100. The second one is the one that I guess wasn't very good. That one only has like 60 million, 58 million. And I mean, after the first one, though, having 117.5 million views, the rest of them apparently apparently he stinks. And you know, those numbers are a little inflated because if you just scroll over it,
Starting point is 01:02:16 I think they get credit for a view. Oh, I don't know about that. I think you have to stop. But even so, those are still huge numbers. Yes, absolutely. A lot of people are stopping and watching. The wannabe dictator should be more than 16.6 million. I think so too. Yeah, it should be.
Starting point is 01:02:31 It should be 250 million. It should be 300 million. Every person in this country should watch it because you would learn some things. Oh, no kidding about that. You really would. More coming up. The Glenn Back program.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog, Uno, has changed. He's a completely different dog. I hear from people all the time in the audience. I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog. They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show. They get some from themselves. And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down. And it's really good for him.
Starting point is 01:03:08 It's not a dog food. It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle. Your dog needs these things to be healthy. My dog was easy. From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love. Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though. Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week. He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
Starting point is 01:03:29 So right now, he's got a special gift available. You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out. All you pay is shipping. Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn 33. Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier. Doing our best to protect free speech and truth from constant attack. More Glenn Beck after the break.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Pat and Jeffie for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, Triple Eight. 727BECK. I love this story about moving the earth. Did you know, are you aware that in just a billion years from now, just one billion years, right around the corner, the earth will become so hot that it will be uninhabitable. The sun is going to fry us to a crisp. So the earth, the entire earth is going to be like Texas is now. Yes. That's what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:04:51 That's what I'm saying. Okay. Yes. Texas is virtually uninhabitable. yet 30 million of us inhabit it. Nobody really knows how that's possible. How do you, by the way, in the 1800s, how do you take a horse past this place and say,
Starting point is 01:05:10 man, the mosquitoes, the cockroaches, the heat, the humidity, the, I just sheer misery here. It's beautiful. Let's stay. I don't know. I don't know. You know, before oil is really a big, big thing, how'd that happen?
Starting point is 01:05:33 I don't know. It's weird. But anyway. It is. So scientists right now, this scientist, Albert Zilstra, professor of astrophysics, the University of Manchester, has suggested we move the Earth back 3 million miles from the sun. Now, we're only 93 million miles, as you know, away from it right now. So he wants to push us back to 96 million miles.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Okay. do we all go up outside and jump up and down real quick? Don't be stupid. Face east and blow at the same time. How do we move back? This just shows your hideous ignorance, Jeff. We wait for a really big asteroid to come by and then we have it slingshot us. We slingshot around that asteroid.
Starting point is 01:06:20 So. And it throws us three million miles back. Okay. So. How does it? Does that work? I don't know. The slingshot effect.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Yeah, the slingshot effect to go three million miles away from the sun. And then everything will be fine. We'll be able to last beyond a billion years from now. So are we supposed to all wear a giant baseball glove and catch the asteroid? No. We're going to throw a lasso around it and just everybody hangs on for dear life. You know? as it's passing.
Starting point is 01:06:56 I'm not really sure how that works. We put out one of those giant fishing nets and hope that the asteroid gets caught in and then slingshots us around the sun. The way they explain this is Professor Zilstra's concept for moving away from the sun would involve a gravity assist or slingshot maneuver commonly used for speeding up spacecraft.
Starting point is 01:07:17 By approaching a planet, such a spacecraft can make use of the planet's gravitational pull. Right. Yeah, but when the planet speeds up, it drifts away from the sun, right? But how you make that planet speed up just because an asteroid is passing by? I'm not sure how that works. He proposes somehow altering the orbit of the asteroid while it's in space. Okay. Perhaps by nudging it with a robotic probe at a certain angle in speed.
Starting point is 01:07:50 If nudged successfully, the asteroid would do it. a loop around the sun and head back toward the earth before slingshotting itself on Earth's orbit. Okay. I mean, it makes sense, right? No. It makes sense. It really doesn't. It makes sense.
Starting point is 01:08:09 We just nudging ass. That's all. Okay. So you do this a million times. Here's what he says. This is so bizarre. Do this a million times and the Earth will increase its velocity by the amount we need. After a million flybys, the Earth,
Starting point is 01:08:24 is in its new orbit. Oh, okay. So we nudge this thing a million times. A million times. So it flies around us one million times. And by the end of that, we'll have moved gradually enough to be able to survive the nudging.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Yes. And be farther away from the sun. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And it's just that simple. It's just that easy, everybody. So don't worry about the Earth. It'll be fine in a billion.
Starting point is 01:08:52 I realize I'm not a, An astrophysicist. Right. From Manchester. I got it. But I'm trying to understand how we are going to do that. Wouldn't you think we'd have a better alternative than that in a billion years? Let's say we still exist.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Everything will be exactly the same. Yeah, right. Right. I mean, that's what we're to believe with all the climate change. We're close to the sun. Everything is supposed to. We're supposed to act now as if nothing will ever change, get better. better, it'll just gradually get worse all the time.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Humans will not adapt, you know, like they've done all along. Right. And, for instance, look at the technological advances we've enjoyed in the last 50 years or in the last 100 or 200 years. Can you imagine a thousand years from now where we'll be, technologically speaking, if we all survive? But what kind of advances would there be in that amount of time? let alone a million or a billion years from now. Jeez, we easily solve this problem down the line. I'm hoping that in a billion, 500 million years?
Starting point is 01:10:09 Yeah, one billion. Okay, so in one billion years, I'm hoping by then, right, at least you're trying to make me believe it, then we'll have advanced enough that where we'll look back at the astrophysicist in 2023, that says we should have nudged an asteroid a million times to speed us up and realize, oh, that was dumb, yeah. I mean, seriously, is that not one of the dumbest things you've ever heard? I'm no astrophysicist. I already claimed I wasn't.
Starting point is 01:10:38 But that's a stupid idea. Okay, we're going to nudge the asteroid around the sun and us one million times. That's preposterous. Come on, man. come on. He should be fired for that. He should be fired from the University of Manchester. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:10:58 And he probably wrote his doctoral on that, right? Probably. Doctoral, doctor, whatever he wants to call it. Probably. That's probably what he wrote it on, right? The hypothesis of we're going to move the earth. It wouldn't surprise me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Okay. Yeah, good idea, my friend. Good idea. Tell you what. Get your things and get out. How about that? No, but what we're going to do? is we're going to just you know what if we just nudge this asteroid you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:11:30 and then we did that like a million times we could probably the earth would move yeah right yeah right okay okay all right thank you also tonight tonight's night I believe at Dodger Stadium for the oh my gosh the anti-Catholic anti-Christian group to participate. Do we have time to catch a flight? Catch the game? If we hurry, if we hurry, we could just get there probably by game time. Book a flight.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Maybe I could use seat Greek. Interesting that a Catholic advocacy group has been running ads during every Los Angeles Dodgers game this week, calling out the team because they're doing this tonight. Good. And they're still doing it. That's amazing. That sure is.
Starting point is 01:12:22 That's just amazing. They have not bent the need to this. Now, do you remember in the beginning when this was first announced, they got so much flack that they said, okay, no, we're going to dishinged. We called that off. Then they got flak from the other side. So they said, no, no, wait, we're sorry to the, they apologized to this drag queen group and re-invited them.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Yeah. And then they've survived all the. And they told everyone else to take a hike. Yeah, they sure have. We don't care about you. That's right. So it is still going on. It's still on.
Starting point is 01:12:55 The sisters of perpetual indulgence perform tonight. Wow. That's just crazy. Wow. I mean, they only dress like Catholic nuns. Yeah, yeah. And then do all kinds of sacrilegious things as such. Correct.
Starting point is 01:13:12 That's it, though. I mean, they do some things with the cross that just, I mean, it's outright. I don't even describe what they do because it's just so horrible. And that's okay, I guess. I guess the offense to Christianity, to Catholics is not a problem at all. They don't care. It's been pointed out, too, that they have, you know, their Dodgers' code of conduct prohibits wearing or saying anything that goes against anybody's age, gender, creed, or religion. But we're going to go ahead and celebrate that on the field.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Wow. Wow. We're not going to worry about that with this. That's okay. Well, it's Pride Month. Right. So anything goes on Pride Month, I guess? During Pride Month, you can do whatever you want, offend everybody else as much as you want.
Starting point is 01:14:02 And look, we have, we don't even know, you know, we talked about it earlier today on your show, Pat Gray-onleashed, which you can listen to anywhere you get your podcasts or live, 7 to 9 Eastern prior to this very broadcast. On Jeopardy, they asked a question about a Bible verse. about a Bible verse. Let's play that. Let's play that. Matthew 6.9 says, Our father, which art in heaven, this be thy name.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Hallowed be thy name. Nothing. Oh. All three of them. All three contestants. Nothing. Like it's the toughest question ever asked on Jeopardy.
Starting point is 01:14:47 D. I don't know. We didn't even get an idea. I don't know. I mean, nothing. You got to be kidding me. You don't know that? Holy cow.
Starting point is 01:14:59 I mean, the audience, this happened earlier in the week. The audience went crazy. Well, they had to have. Yeah, I bet they did. I'll bet they did. People were, you know, tweeting and social media everywhere saying, you know, I'm an atheist and I know the answer. Are you kidding me? Oh, you don't even have to be super religious to know the answer to that.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Right. Come on. But it does show how far we've gone the other way. Well, and that, you know, doesn't it? Heaven. Heaven, heaven forbid. We take away the Pride night celebration at Dodger Stadium where we can just besmirch the Christians. It does show us where we are in this country.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Sure does. It shows us right where we stand. And it's not in a good place. Allowed be thy name. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. One could make a case that it may not have been a great idea to take God out of schools.
Starting point is 01:15:51 at a certain point in time. Huh. I'm not making that case. Like the Supreme Court ruling. One could make a case. You think somebody could make that case? You know, we probably shouldn't have taken God out of schools. Well, let me ask you this question.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Has our society gotten better, worse, or about the same since we did? No way to tell. There's just like the metric system. There's no way to tell. More coming up in just a few minutes here. Glenn back. Every year, over 15,000 independent farms and ranches in America are driven out of business. Why?
Starting point is 01:16:51 Because 85% of the grass-fed beef in America is imported from overseas. You probably didn't notice that in stores because foreign meat often wears a product of USA label. If you want American beef and chicken that you can trust, and you want to help rebuild America's shop good ranchers.com. Every purchase puts healthy, high-quality meat on your plate and supports local farms in the U.S. So stop buying imported goods at the store and get American-raised meat from good ranchers.com. Make sure you use my code, Glenn, at checkout, for a bonus of $30 off your first order of America's best meat and seafood. You can support American ranchers and farmers by ordering at good ranchers.com and using the promo
Starting point is 01:17:36 code Glenn. Change the way you buy meat. American meat delivered at good ranchers.com. Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher for Glenn today. Glenn's back on Monday. Triple-eight 727 B-E-C-K. We've been debating all morning, really, this Connor McGregor situation. There is a woman who is accusing him of rape right now. Yeah, terrible accusation. And not from 30 years ago. Of course, he's only 34, what, 34? Been tough 30 years ago. Yeah, it would have been tough 30 years ago. But. Yeah, it would have been tough 30 years But, you know, usually a decade ago, 15 years ago, it happened the other night. I mean, we're coming up with new laws saying that, you know, the statute of limitations don't count anymore.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Right. So that we can charge people. Or we'll redo the statute of limitations. So that you can file now. Anyway. Anyway. That's not the case here. That is not the case.
Starting point is 01:18:36 It happened. Game four of the Miami Heat championship game against the Denver. Gunnuggets. So Connor McGregor was there and he got trouble for a stunt. did with the mascot between periods he punched the mascot knocked him out knocked him out cold right there on the floor uh sprayed him with his own pain relief medicine that he was trying to hawk so people were already hacked off at him it's supposedly you know supposedly he hit the guy so hard the mascot underneath the mask had to seek medical attention pat which i think is nonsense shut up get out of here
Starting point is 01:19:09 but so he's already in trouble with after the game right there's a whole bunch of people in the Now, the story I read initially was that she claimed NBA security and Miami Heat security through her. And Connor McGregor security, right? His own security. Yeah, but first of all, the NBA and the Miami Heat security threw her into the bathroom where Connor was with his security. Okay, okay, right. That was the original story. Right. That's what, yes. Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Well, an actual video has emerged of Connor and this girl walking hands. hand in hand to the bathroom. Yeah, the video that TMZ acquired has shows Connor coming around the corner in this crowd of people, you know, security guards and other people are there as well.
Starting point is 01:20:00 He reaches out to her. Looking at her, reaches out to her, takes her by the hand. I mean, he wasn't dragging her. Nope. He was not dragging her at all. She took his hand willingly. Okay, at least the walk hand in hand to the bathroom happened consensually. So that makes it a different story.
Starting point is 01:20:18 It does to me. It sure does to me. Now I realize. Now he's married. It makes it a tough situation for him and his wife and the mother of his two children. Stop it. Stop it. That is quintessential, Jeffie, right there.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Stop it. How dare you bring up his wife? I bring up the family. It's a celebration. talking about. That's got nothing to do with this at all. Don't even worry about his wife. So,
Starting point is 01:20:59 aside from the whole family thing. Right. Okay. Yeah. It looks like there's not a criminal issue here or. It sure doesn't. I mean, I don't know. Who knows what happened once they got in there.
Starting point is 01:21:11 But I mean, it seems consensual. It appears that she went in willingly. It does. What are we doing in the bathroom to begin with? Yeah, why would you go willingly into the bathroom with him? What do you think it's going to happen? Right. They had some sandwiches they were serving in there.
Starting point is 01:21:25 In the bathroom? Really? The Glenn Beck Program. 60% of the vans on Amazon come to vendor independent, like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille, of Sac Magic. Our compresses chode-fraud are fabriced here even, in Quebec,
Starting point is 01:21:44 with the tissues that we're chained in Montreal and the avion that push to Sagney. Our presence on Amazon enlarge our basin of clientele to the world entire. Sack magic, is the
Starting point is 01:21:52 compress that all the world prefer. At this is we're going to find to get a
Starting point is 01:21:57 little companies like the on on account on site. What you're about to
Starting point is 01:22:36 hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the Glenn back program Hello
Starting point is 01:22:46 Pat great Jeff Fisher for Glenn who returns on Monday Wow we got to tell you
Starting point is 01:22:54 about this deal with Spotify and the Markle, Megan Markle, the Harry, Prince Harry thing. Yeah, arts well production. Yeah, not working out exactly as they had planned.
Starting point is 01:23:08 I'll tell you about that and much more coming up in one minute. Meanwhile, Jamie wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. She says my husband and I both started using Relief Factor and we're surprised at the results. We had minor aches and pains and I had problems with my knee that weren't improving. after about two weeks of relief factor, which makes sense because it takes about that time to build up in your system. We both were seeing a wonderful loss of pain, and my knee doesn't feel like it's being stabbed all the time anymore.
Starting point is 01:23:41 We won't be without it going forward. Jamie, that's awesome that you and your husband gave Relief Factor a try and that it worked for you. If you've been dealing with pain in your life and you feel like you've tried everything, maybe it's time to give Relief Factor a try for yourself. If it works for you, you'll get your life back. The three-week quick start is just 1995. It's a trial pack.
Starting point is 01:24:04 It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it. And about 70% of them go on to order more. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start. Again, that's Relieffactor.com or call 800. The number four, relief. Relief Factor. feel the difference.
Starting point is 01:24:31 So Spotify has decided to cut their losses with the Megan Markle podcast situation. It was a mutual. Mutual. Was it mutual? It was mutual. That's what's being reported. You know, Spotify and Archwell are just not going to partner anymore.
Starting point is 01:24:49 Spotify isn't going to produce the podcast anymore. Season one has finished and there will be no more. And there will not be a season two. Under the Spotify, production of Archwell. Do we know is Megan going to continue the podcast with Archwell? I don't know. It took quite a while for them to actually get one up and running.
Starting point is 01:25:07 It did. Remember? I mean, she would, they could. They finally had to send somebody over to the house. Like, hey, don't we have a $20 million deal with you people? Can you just please record something? And when she did, it actually did really well at first. Yeah, the first one did.
Starting point is 01:25:22 The first one, I guess they probably all did okay. But they continue, I mean, obviously they didn't do okay enough. And so we let you do a season. And now we're not going to do your show anymore. And by the way, that doesn't fulfill your $20 million we gave you. So you're not getting all of the $20 million. So what we're going to give you is maybe $10. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Looks like $10 million for them. I mean, we'll see. Their deals are pretty, I mean, they made deals with Netflix. And, you know, Harry made his publishing deal as he wrote his tremendous book spare. What's the deal with Netflix? What are they going to produce the Netflix? I don't know. Because Archwell Productions is supposed to produce stuff for Netflix. And that was 103.6 million.
Starting point is 01:26:07 I mean, they produced the one series, right? Was that on Netflix? Was that Netflix, the Harry and Megan thing? I don't know. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, it was on Netflix. Because they had to produce something. Netflix is like, hey, can we maybe just follow you around?
Starting point is 01:26:24 Please. So we have some content for our money? And so the Spotify, I mean, Spotify's been cutting their podcast divisions down anyway. So if you're not performing as expected, they're going to cut you lose. Who else have they cut? Well, they've cut, you know, some internal employees, but some of the podcasts, like Jamel Hill was supposed to be, it was a really big deal for them. And they cut ties with her not long ago. and prior to that, she had, she was the one that was complaining about, uh, they should pay some black person $100 million.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Joe Rogan money. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, I'll tell you what. When you bring in Joe Rogan numbers, we'll pay you. I think that's a waste spot of five. Yeah. I bet. I bet it is.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Yeah, bring us 200 million downloads a month and, uh, no problem. Sure, we'll give you that kind of money. Apparently, according to this, they did. Spotify did eventually announce a, to appease some of that, some of the, uh, uh, racial issues. They announced a creator equity fund with a goal of dispensing $100 million, which is what she was claiming for, clamming for, uh, to creators from historically marginalized groups. So I don't know how that's going for them.
Starting point is 01:27:51 And I don't know that they've spent very much money out of that fund. Okay. How the marginalized groups are doing, they may still be marginalized. They might be. And I think once you are marginalized, you remain marginalized. Forever. I don't think you ever come out of that. There's no unmarginalizing yourself.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I don't think you ever come out of that. No, you don't. You know, you do not. Not until somebody gives you millions of dollars anyway. You're still marginalized, though. Okay. So there's never a point. I feel like there's never a point.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Yeah. Okay. Now, I guess, you know, okay, man, I could be wrong. that someone, if you give someone, say, $50 million, they're not marginalized anymore? I feel like they would tell me they were. Yeah, they probably would, actually. They probably would. So what does this mean?
Starting point is 01:28:37 We don't know yet what it means, whether Megan is going to continue the podcast or not. We don't know yet. No, we don't. And, you know, they obviously, you know, have milked the system for a lot of money. Yeah. So, I mean, they've got to produce something. What if she goes back to suits? Can she do that?
Starting point is 01:28:53 Because that I would love. She wasn't there for the last season, right? I know. No, she wasn't. And it was lacking. The last season was lacking because she wasn't there. Well, they both weren't there, right? He wants his face and what, and Megan.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Yeah. I think once his face came back for like an episode and a half at the very end. Yeah, for the wedding, right? At the very end. Yeah. I'm trying to remember my suits shows. Yeah. Yeah, at the end, he did come back.
Starting point is 01:29:18 Right. And she did not, though. Right. That was, you never saw her again. Yeah, those were. You know, she was out wanting to be a princess, and she just didn't realize how hard it was going to be. Agonizing.
Starting point is 01:29:32 But people don't like her because of that, right? That's right. They don't like her now. That's right. She brought down, I mean, she. I like her. She stuck a hot iron in the royals, man. And they do not like her at all.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Okay. Grandpa told Harry, you don't marry actresses. All right. So these, they thought of themselves as potential billionaires because they set up a whole bunch of deals at the beginning here. Like Peca Publishing set up in September 2020 used by Megan to hold the rights for her children's books. Oh, that's right. She's writing her stupid books. Peca means freckle in Spanish.
Starting point is 01:30:13 All right, that's cute. Then there was Orinoco publishing. That was registered. December 22nd, 2021. It's unclear what the couple will use Orinoco for, though it's likely it was set up to hold the rights for Harry's Blockbuster book.
Starting point is 01:30:31 And that was already released right to spare or whatever. Cobblestone Lane, incorporated in Delaware in February 2025 days later was used as the applicant to file for the Archwell trademark.
Starting point is 01:30:47 So they set up all of this stuff. Just case and I mean there's a whole long list of it I won't go through it all but there's a whole long list of it here because they thought they were good for them they were going to start getting billions rolling in and it's not quite working out like that yet no but I mean they're there's I mean and they're and they're struggling now to you know be a listers in Hollywood they they desperately want to be a listers and uh there you know there's all kinds of reports that they're not a listers anymore oh no I know really I know oh no we can't have
Starting point is 01:31:20 I know. They still live in Montecito. They've got the, you know, the dump they live in in Montecito. A dump? Yeah, they got some. What's it like a $16 million dump? Something like that. I think it's more than that, actually. Is it? Okay. Then they live in the neighborhood, you know, Oprah's got a place there. Oh, man. If they live in Oprah's neighborhood, it must be a dump. Well, thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Well, it's like they live in the place that Oprah lets her workers live in. I wouldn't mind living in that place. I would not either.
Starting point is 01:31:53 That would not be a bad place. I know. But so, you know, we'll see what happens. I still think that that marriage is not. What? Why? They are hopelessly in love. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:32:05 I believe that that marriage is over. Why? Why do you believe that? Because she's agonizing. In what way is she agonizing? She's got Harry just ball and chained, man. And he needs to break that ball and chain. He needs to leave.
Starting point is 01:32:20 He needs to break that ball and chain desperately. Please. If you had a shot at Megan Markle. Oh, he's Prince Harry. Please. So? Oh, yeah. So he gets to pretend like he's royalty still. Well, he is. He gets to pretend.
Starting point is 01:32:39 Because, you know, there is. I don't know if they're aware of this over there, but they're, and I hate to break it to him, but there's really no monarchy anymore. But there is. There really is. His dad is the king. They now have a parliamentary system and they haven't really had a monarch. I mean, that is in charge for a long time.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Going on 200 years. Still a pretty good life for the non-royal royals. Tell you that. But I will tell you this. I never thought that you could ever make the king of England, King Charles III, who was the real monarch during the Revolutionary War. I never thought you'd be able to make him a likable character. But they managed to do it on, did you see Queen Charlotte?
Starting point is 01:33:37 No, not yet. No. Okay. It's pretty good. Yeah, okay. It's pretty good. Yeah. We saw it on Vid Angel. And so Queen Charlotte is the companion sort of piece to Bridgerton. Right, right. And I'm forced to watch that with the wife.
Starting point is 01:33:54 Are you forced? I'm forced to watch that with the wife. Yeah. Of course, you have to be forced because you can't be masculine and like Bridgerton at the same time. You know, I heard that. And I don't know that I agree with that, but okay. I do not agree with that. Because I loved it.
Starting point is 01:34:10 I thought it was really good. Yeah, I like most of what I see. I mean, it's soap opera you. It is. But I'm okay with soap operas, too, so it's all right. Yeah. And Queen Charlotte was interesting because they did make King Charles and Charlotte out to be pretty. I mean, you feel for him.
Starting point is 01:34:29 And, you know, he went nuts. Right. Which is sad. And a lot of people would say maybe he was nuts in the first place because he did some stupid things with the colonies. And he probably shouldn't have. But they don't get into any of that. in the series. But it's interesting because at the end of it, I'm like, how did they make me like King Charles
Starting point is 01:34:53 the 3rd as an American? How did that happen? Right, because you're pretty anti-royals. Oh, yeah. Yes, very. And especially him. Surprised we're talking about it at all to be honest with you, but I'm okay with it. I know.
Starting point is 01:35:06 I want to, you have no idea how I want, I want Harry to show up at Windsor with the kids and have the ball and chain cut and say, I left her back in California, and I want back in. Now, it's interesting that you really do kind of follow the Royals, don't you? You do follow the saga of the Royals. You like it. You like them. You're interested.
Starting point is 01:35:30 It's inexplicable to me, but why? I just do. You just do. Okay. I think maybe in a past life, I was a royal. Man, that must have been way past. That must have been. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Are we talking to BC here? We're talking before Christ. It had to be, right? Triple-A. That's the only thing I could have. 727 back. More coming up in one minute. You know, you get health insurance for an important reason, right?

Starting point is 01:37:23 There's a problem in developing in Cuba. You know, they've kind of cozyed up now to China. They've cozyed up with Iran. Huh. And we're just kind of sitting back and letting it all happen. In fact, they set up the Chinese spy place in Cuba. Yeah. And look, when I first heard them talking about setting up their spy plant in Cuba,
Starting point is 01:37:47 I thought, well, you know, so. I mean, we've let them fly their balloons over us. What do we care if they're in Cuba or not? Yeah. I mean, this administration, who is supposed to bring unity and be all over the world, has done the exact opposite, of course. Right. Well, our friends are our allies were going to be closer and our enemies were going to be scared.
Starting point is 01:38:09 We're going to keep them in check, and our allies are all going to love us even more. Man, the opposite. Nothing could be part of the truth. Oh, my gosh. We have countries that are, you know, running away from the dollar. We're setting, our enemies are setting up, well, China's not our enemy, Jeff. Okay. Of course China is our enemy.
Starting point is 01:38:29 No, they're our friends. No, they're our friends, is what I'm saying. We're not enemies. What are you talking about? Setting up in countries that we have shunned. I mean, it's just amazing that, I mean, we're doing things now that seem to be against the greatness of the United States of America. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:48 It's almost as if, you know, what would you do? Let me ask you a question. If I were trying to destroy the nation. Are you going to ask yourself with the question I was going to ask you? Yes. Yes, I kind of felt the question coming on. If I were trying to destroy this country, what would I do differently than is being done by the bike? The exact question I was going to ask.
Starting point is 01:39:11 What a wild coincidence that we both had that thought. Huh. Because they're doing everything they possibly can. can, you know? They sure are. You wouldn't do anything differently. I don't think. I really don't think, especially if you were trying to hide ever so slightly your goals of
Starting point is 01:39:29 destroying the country. What would you do differently? I mean, the only way you could do it any quicker, the destruction of America, is to start exploding nuclear bombs in urban areas. Yeah, we'd have to start, we'd actually, we'd actually have to destroy fencing down the roadways and stop people from travel. Right. I mean, it is, it's incredible what they're doing to us right now.
Starting point is 01:39:53 Sure is. And they're getting away with it for some reason. We allow it to happen and we watch them and then we listen to their excuses and they lie to our face every single day. And maybe it's getting too much. Maybe we've, maybe it's swung too much. I mean, we talked earlier today, I think, you know, off the air about some different websites that are starting to pick up on. Joe Biden. Hey, you know what?
Starting point is 01:40:20 He isn't quite as sharp as we thought. Have you noticed that he's got some problems stumbling around? Hey, you know, sometimes he can't even finish a sentence. Has anyone noticed that? There seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding him. And here's another interesting little element that we couldn't help but notice lately. Every time he gets done with a speech at a podium, he turns around and has no idea where he is or where to go.
Starting point is 01:40:48 Huh. I wonder if that could be an issue. Notice that. Have you noticed that a handler or his wife or someone comes out and leads him off stage every single time because he can't do it on his own? You know, his wife is going to start campaigning for him around the country and he's going to run for president again. Isn't that weird?
Starting point is 01:41:10 He can't even campaign like normal. Weird. Yeah. He's going to be a hundred and fifty-five. years old when he's president next time. And, you know, he might not be as mobile as he used to. There's a slight possibility. He's not as spry as we thought.
Starting point is 01:41:28 Maybe that gate isn't quite as good as you thought. I mean, welcome to the party. I know. So maybe, my point in that is that maybe we have, you know, we're at a point where you can't not say something. And you can't not say. not and still be a news organization. No.
Starting point is 01:41:50 How about no. We're not doing that. Right. Right. And that's what I would like to see these, you know, the Republican candidates kind of focus on, rather than each other and beating the crap out of each other. And I know this is the time to do it during the primary.
Starting point is 01:42:05 But I know. They barely even mentioned Biden. And that's got to be addressed. It has to be the focus. Yes. That should be the focus. Yes. And that, you know, we put the Dingleberry.
Starting point is 01:42:17 from Miami jumped in the race to the Republican side of the race and he's just there to muck up that race. He's there, I think specifically to hurt DeSantis. And they're just going to do that. As Vivek said correctly
Starting point is 01:42:33 that the donor class is making their waves. I get it. I'm with you on that, that we need to focus on how bad Joseph Robinette Biden is. Because he is terrible. Well, he's out to lunch and he's not coming home for dinner. So that's a problem for the
Starting point is 01:42:53 president of the United States. Yes. For the most powerful man in the world, you kind of want him to have some cognizant ability. It'd be nice. It's a plus, I would say, in that role. To have some ability? It's a plus. It's a plus to, I don't know, be able to finish a sentence. Yeah. It's a plus to be able to read a teleprompter. Stu might say it's suboptimal for him to have dementia while he holds that office. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And they used to think so too because they accused Reagan of it all the time. Long before he was diagnosed. And he was doing a lot better than this guy. A blend back program. All right. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. You know, it seems like not that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was the same as,
Starting point is 01:43:47 the dinner table, religion and politics. You don't touch them, right? If you're a smart business, you just leave that stuff alone. Why can't they? But the rise of wokeness just murdered that notion in our society. And we've been forced as a result to create a parallel economy for ourselves. That's why PatriotMobil exists, though. PatriotMobil. It's America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They offer dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks. So you get the best possible service in your area without the woke politic garbage. You don't have to put up with it with Patriot Mobile.

You could go to kexie.com and have some delicious cookies. K-E-K-S-I-K-C-C-C-D-com. In particular, I'm really fond of the Raspberry Limitedade cookie right now,
Starting point is 01:46:23 but there's also just a host of other delicious food. There was a rumor that I heard somewhere that one of those was going to be made available. Yes, and I believe the rumor was, like, today or next week or next year sometime. I think that was the room that I heard that I heard. That's what I heard. That's what I heard. Huh. It was today. Yeah. Maybe you should clean out the wax in your ears because I don't think that's exactly what was said. Um, hey, this is really good news for anybody who's considering college in the, in the near future. Uh, we've got our socialist in office, one of the many socialists. No kidding. In office. I don't know that we have anything but now.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Seriously, there's so many of them now, so many of them. And many of them don't claim to be socialist, but they are. Oh, my gosh. There's no classic Democrat or class. I mean, it's just really bad. No. I get so angry when I hear all the time, how radical the Republican Party has become. Ronald Reagan wouldn't even recognize Republicans anymore.
Starting point is 01:47:29 Are you serious? We have a Democrat Party. that is so radical, so far to the left, that the Communist Party didn't run a candidate last time. That stat is absolutely frightening. They endorsed Joe Biden because he's perfectly fine for communists. No, we're good with him. We're good. I mean, is there a single policy that we advocate that he doesn't?
Starting point is 01:47:57 No. So we're fine. He's our guy. Let it go. He's our guy. If there is, if you find one, let us know. No, we'll say something about it. But for now, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:48:06 I mean, if you can dig up Chairman Mao, I mean, maybe that would be slightly a slight improvement. But I'm not even sure about that. Wow. Okay. Mao might not take as long as Joe Biden's taken. So Bernie Sanders is being, you know, he's walking down the hallways of Congress. And he's being asked about one of his policies from a reporter. Check this out.
Starting point is 01:48:31 Your free college plan. Is it really free? if you're raising taxes to pay for it. Well, given the fact that we have the billionaire class paying a lower tax rate than working in families, I think it's appropriate to wealthiest people in this country stop paying their fair share of taxes. Thanks very much. The Wall Street tax would hit average American saving for retirement.
Starting point is 01:48:49 What people say that? People on Wall Street. Thank you. I'm done with you. I'm done with you. He didn't even, I mean, he didn't want to answer that second one either. So rather than answer any of those taxation questions, it's either. all about revenue, right? Which that's their new word for taxes. Revenue. Right.
Starting point is 01:49:09 And rather than address a tax increase, they try to put all of it on billionaires. Sure do. Okay. So you're only going to raise taxes on billionaires. Everybody else will be left alone. They can afford it. And they're not paying enough all right now. I'll tell you that. Also, the wealthiest 1% in this country. You know how much of the tax burden they pay? Zero. Zero, Pat. That's how much they pay. That's what you would believe. If you listen to these butthooks, people like Bernie Sanders, they pay 53% of the tax burden. One percent of the population pays 53% of the burden. And they're not paying the fair share. That's not their fair share? What is exactly? Please enlighten me. What would be their fair share?
Starting point is 01:50:01 A hundred and fifty percent. Yeah, okay. I want them to pay more than they make. So not only do they pay all of the burden, yes. But you take away their homes and all of it. And their cars and everything else that they've ever owned. They don't need it.
Starting point is 01:50:16 They don't need that stuff. I mean, at some point, you've made enough money. Hello. So it's so agonizing that they pull this every single time. Well, that's, I mean, it's a mantra that many, many used now. But Bernie was on the forefront of that mantra. Very much so. I mean, that's his deal, man.
Starting point is 01:50:35 What was it, 1986, where he did his honeymoon in the Soviet Union? Was it 84, 86 in there somewhere? That's right. And he's sitting around the table and they're all talking about how great Russia is. We're in Moscow on our honeymoon. And this is fantastic. He was talking about nobody was waiting in line for food, all the stuff that we were trying to talk about how bad Russia was. Right.
Starting point is 01:50:58 And he talked about how beautiful. it was. That's right, Comrade. Maybe it was. In a lot, maybe it was. Russia? Maybe it was. Oh, well, this time of year, sure. When the dissident, uh, the dead body dissident outlines on the street being washed away by the summer rains. Nothing. He just said something wrong. Beautiful. Beautiful. And man, there's a lot of stories right now about, uh, the admiration between
Starting point is 01:51:24 Vladimir Putin and Joe Stalin. Apparently he's a big fan and he's, he's trying to conduct his affairs just like Stalin did. He certainly believes that. And they do eliminate opposition like Stalin did. He certainly believes in spreading the word of Russia and the Soviet Union. Yeah, he does. He wants to get back to those glory years. He does.
Starting point is 01:51:43 He really does. And, you know, to be fair, we've done nothing but help him in that regard. Yes, to be fair, that's exactly right. And we've got an administration that's trying to set us on the same track. Right. Oh, man. Right. So another part of that is to conduct themselves like communists do, like, hey, we can have every luxury in the world.
Starting point is 01:52:09 You can get by on the crumbs that we provide you. And you're going to love it. Or you'll spend your time in a gulag somewhere. Either way. Either way, shut up about it. Right. So that's exactly what Transportation Secretary Buttigieg is doing. Pete Buttigieg has been denying this whole time that he,
Starting point is 01:52:31 since he's been in office that he's taken private flights, it turns out that he does. Yeah, of course. He still does. Of course he does. He believes he's better than everyone else. Of course he does. Of course, he does.
Starting point is 01:52:43 The guy that took a baby leave? Yeah, for what? Like two and a half years or something? I mean, he can go away for all I care about. That's fine. Yeah. I'm okay with him just going away. as long as he's not trying to do any of his business.
Starting point is 01:53:00 But yeah, I mean, he's just taking time off and he believes that he's a king. He's appointed in his position. Okay, fine. He's been a vocal advocate, too, for reducing carbon emissions. And so he came under fire last year when it was revealed that he used taxpayer dollars to travel in private jets, managed by the FAA at least 18 times. But now supposedly that stopped, remember? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:25 And now we're finding out, no, not so much. That didn't stop. Oh, darned. And by stopping, I mean, he kept doing it. Of course he did. He's entitled to it. Right. He's part of the ruling class.
Starting point is 01:53:44 Yes, he is. Americans for Public Trust filed a lawsuit against the FAA after it repeatedly failed to provide records detailing Buddha judges travel and the reason they won't provide the records is because of his private travel. Oh my gosh. I mean, the hypocrisy and the lies of this administration and everybody in it
Starting point is 01:54:06 are so appalling. There's just not words for it anymore. They really aren't. No, they're not. In November, APT requested information detailing all flight logs and passenger manifest for the three jets managed by the FAA. The group filed a second
Starting point is 01:54:23 Freedom of Information Act request in January seeking records for every instance when a White House official, executive branch official, or member of Congress used the jets. APT issued a final request a couple days later, extending the previous request to include any other jets managed by the FAA. Well, according to the lawsuit, the FAA replied by setting multiple dates to turn over the records and then didn't. Yeah, we're trying.
Starting point is 01:54:53 We're trying to do that. We're trying to... Let me find those records. I know they're around here somewhere. I'll get them to you. I'll worry about it. The FAA has not communicated with the APTs concerning whether the FAA will fulfill its F-O-I-A requests since missing two self-imposed extended deadlines May 1st and May 18th of this year.
Starting point is 01:55:18 Nor has the FAA provided any indication as to when we can experience. Expect its request to be processed. Well, you'll get it when we find it. Yeah, when we find it. When we find it until then. When we get around to it, we'll get them right to you. This is what they do with all those hearings too. All the congressional hearings.
Starting point is 01:55:38 It absolutely is. Oh, you know what, Congressman, I don't have that with me right now. I don't have that information with me. I'll get back to you on that. Apparently there is an internet or Wi-Fi issue in Washington, D.C., in the hearing rooms because none of those people that are testified. are able to go, ever. Oh, I don't have my email with me now.
Starting point is 01:55:56 I don't have that information with me now. I'll have to get that to you later. They can't just, I don't know, log on. Let me check my email now for you, Senator. Yeah, it's all blocked. I'm sure it's all blocked. As soon as they get in that room, there's no access to that information whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:56:15 Okay. Well, I mean, they did have, they were hacked. We got report yesterday just on a side note. that the federal government agencies, U.S. federal government agencies, were hit in a cyber attack, and they were working to figure it out. So I don't know which agencies.
Starting point is 01:56:36 I just saw the headline, and I thought, well, that's interesting. They took all our records from Pete Buttigieg's travel. All of it's gone. We were just going to go to you. Yeah, that was going to be today. I was just, I got my people on this. I said, today I double.
Starting point is 01:56:53 demand that you find those so that I can turn them over and now it's gone. Look, here's an email with the subject line. Pete's air travel. Yeah, look at that. Now, darn the luck. I mean, what are the odds? What are the odds? All right, AAA 727 BECK, more patent, Jeffie, for Glenn coming up.

Starting point is 01:59:03 At number 15, nothing compares to you. It was originally done by Chenate O'Connor, of course. But they like Chris Connell's version better. Chris Cornell, I'm sorry, Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. I don't think I've ever heard that version. Have you?
Starting point is 01:59:19 I don't know that I heard. Yeah, I don't know that version. Unchained melody. Opera singer Todd Duncan sang the original, not Elvis. But obviously everybody remembers and loves the righteous brother's version of that. You know?

Starting point is 01:59:45 Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, is preferred over the original by Leonard Cohen. Well, I mean, that song's been done about 1,500 times in every version is better than Leonard Cohen's. So I'd have to agree with that.

Somewhere over the rainbow, Julie Garland, but everybody likes the big fat Hawaiian guy's version. Yeah, Israel? Yeah, Israel, Kamakowai, Wili's version. Yes. It's a great version. It is.
