Okay. It is D-Day. 80 years later. And it was interesting watching Joe Biden there with a few of the veterans that they had who had who had actually stormed the beaches 80 years ago. You couldn't tell who was who at the time. Was Biden the vet? or was it the guy that he was shaking hands with?

You couldn't really tell. I mean, these guys are easily 100, right? Almost all of them are 100. I think there was one who was 99. The rest are 100 plus. Because you're going to obviously be probably 20, at least, when you stormed the beaches. Right. But to be fair to your observation, Biden is a very old 81.

Very old. Yeah. Oh, yes. You know, he's not a... Seriously. I think some of the guys, some of the veterans were in bed. shape than he is. Maybe all of them.

I mean, when he waddles up to him, you know, he does that Biden shuffle that is so painful to watch. And he reaches out and saying, okay. I'm making for your service. It's just, it's painful to watch. The Biden, his old content is really interesting to me because sometimes it hits me is really funny and sometimes it hit me is really sad. And sometimes it hits me is really scary.

and I can't predict which one's going to be. Like you telling me that story could have easily terrified me or made me really sad, but that time it made me laugh. Oh, good. I don't know why. I don't know why. It really gives me the entire range of emotions. One of the things that people noticed was that, you know,

McCrone greeted the veterans first. And then after he was done kissing both cheeks like the Frenchy French do, then Biden came up and you're like, Don't kiss him. That's not an American thing. And he did it. To some of them. What was noticed by the audience on my show, what I just did this, Pac-Rey-At-Least right before doing this show,

many people who were watching noticed that he did not kiss the black veterans. He did kiss the white veterans. Really? Now, that would fit with his character because he's a racist. I believe it. I believe it Well I mean what Why would you believe that

Other than all the things he said Other than all the things he said and done There is no reason You know That's true Just all the evidence that he's put on the record Over the past few decades Right

But other than Matt Well you have nothing I mean it's it's uh evidence like In Delaware The largest growth in population Is Indian Americans Moving from India You cannot go to a 7-Eleven

are a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not talking about it. No, he's not talking about. I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who was

articulate and bright and clean and mice looking guys. I mean, that's a storybook, story book, man. It sounds like a story. Did they find a clean African American? Wow. Yes. Wow, that's a story book.

man. Right? Who would have thought it was possible? Not Joe Biden. That's for sure. I don't know how he survived that politically. Quite honestly. It's one of the worst things ever said in American politics. And he was fine. Everybody was fine with it. Guy went from that to president of the United States. How is that possible? And the guy he's talking about, he was his vice president. Yeah. I mean, he got, think of what that moment must have been like Barack Obama, who really. really wanted to be president of the United States. And by the way, was motivated by racism to make that decision. His idea was that, you know, us Americans couldn't accept

two people of color on the same ticket. So he had to go with an old white guy. I mean, that's been documented. That's why he picked Biden. He wanted an old white guy because he thought it would make racists comfortable. It would be a more palatable ticket. Yeah.

People who couldn't deal with Barack Obama on the ticket got an old white guy so you can at least attach yourself to them because America's racist. But seriously, that's what the Obama's believed about America. That's what they believed. And so that's why they picked him. So he went, but I mean, imagine picking this guy who was fascinated, amazed, his imagination opened by the fact that they found a clean black guy. And you're like, ah, let's pick him.

Well, when you put it that way, sounds really bad. Somebody in the room must have put it that way to him. Somebody on Obama's staff. Wait, you're going to pick the guy. I just want to make sure we're doing it. We're all on board here. We're picking the guy who is amazed we were clean. That's the guy we're going with.

What's that ever said? You think that was brought up? I mean, it had to be, right? Somebody had to say it. Think of all the conversation. I think about this sometimes when you think about these big politicians, meetings that we've had over the years with our own Glenn back. And like every once in a while

something's going on and one of us will just hold on a second are we really doing this? Like it was that we had this moment the other couple weeks ago when Glenn was going to come on and do the show like moments after his eye

surgery was completed. Oh right. And like I had to just be like hey guys maybe he shouldn't be that. We have a vision. He couldn't even he literally He couldn't open his eyes. He couldn't read news stories.

He couldn't read commercial scripts. They were sutured shut. And he was just going to come on and do the show. And I said, guys, hey, I don't know. Should we maybe consider letting the guys sleep for a day? And that is like the type of thing that happens, right? Like, I do think behind the scenes of these politicians, at least some of them. And Obama strikes me as the type that would have this conversation.

He'd have people around him. And he'd have people who would question. on that point, right? People who were not willing to take the old white guy. Who would have said? Angry about it. It can't be Joe Biden. Right. Remember what he said? I bet the same type of conversation happened with Biden's advisors when you're like, wait a minute, we're going to select the woman who said we were racist for busing. Right. The busing. Oh my gosh. We're going to take that Kamala Harris and put her on our ticket after what she did in front of the American people. We're going to do that. You had to have those conversations.

And this is what reminds you how much these people want power. Oh my gosh. They'll do anything. They'll overlook anything. People, they called Joe Biden a racist who is ruining the lives of young black little girls ruining their lives. Yeah. And he's like, will she help me? Now, he was wrong that she would help.

But the fact that he thought that it would help him the slightest. bit was enough for him to overlooks. I mean, look, people call people racist all the time online, whatever else. But like, if someone called you a racist to your face, you've been, Pat Gregg, you've been ruining the lives of adorable little girls of color across the country. You're a terrible person. You're a racist. Can I have the highest level job in your organization?

No. No. No. answer to that. Right. Every time. It would be like doing the show with the person who said that about you. Yeah. It would be like that. Who you despised in every way. Yeah. And like look, sometimes there are, there have been radio shows where that has happened, right? Yeah, I'm sure. But like, they don't end up very well. You know, and people look at it like, well, that's how

open-minded they are. Well, that's how, uh, that's how forgiving they are. No. No. They weren't forgiving. They're just, that's how calculating they are. Yeah, it's too things. They're willing to do it Anyway. Right. It's two things. It's one, they want power so badly, so they'll overlook anything to get it. And two, a lot of the stuff said isn't actually real. Well, that's true. Right? Like, it's like, did Kamala Harris really think Joe Biden was some racist ruining her life? Probably not. But she wanted power so badly. She would say anything about him. Yeah. These people are all trash. Yeah. They are all human garbage. They are. We are, we have a city, Washington, D.C., Philly.

with human garbage and they're making all of the rules that that that guide your existence. Congratulations, America. We did it. It's really sad, but it is true. Yay, D-Day, celebrate. Celebrate the hard work they put in so that we could screw it up. So, yes, I really do believe he's a racist and so I do believe that the lack of a kiss on the black veterans. I forgot. That's how he started this. It's part of his racism. If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black. There you go. And then the other.

And it was hard. You know, the even worse comment, I don't know if I can find it right now. But the worst comment along those lines was that he was speaking to that Hispanic conference. And he said, unlike Hispanics, blacks all vote the same or something to that effect. That wasn't the exact comment, but it was something to that effect that, you know, blacks all vote alike. I mean, that is in itself really racist. The assumption there that they're voting as a collective, they have the same mindset, and there's not going to be any differences, is just racist. It's, you know, it is.

I think you, it's very revealing as to how. they think of African Americans, though. Yes, it is. The U-Ain't Black thing, the comment you're speaking of, like, those are central to their philosophy about black people, which is that they are a constituency that is not worth trying to do anything for. They've got them already. This is money in the bank for them.

Yeah. And you're starting to see that be overturned by the younger generation. It's worked pretty well for them for a long time. For Democrats for 60 years. Yeah. But it's starting to backfire now. Yeah. Thank heaven it is.

But I mean, by backfire. So black support among Democrats has gone from about 9% to what, 20? 20. I mean, it's not. Somewhere in there. This can be and has been overstated. It should be 90, but it isn't. We should note this can and has been overstated a lot in the media lately, especially in

conservative media. But I mean, that's a big change. It's a huge change and it's notable. but like, you know, the idea that like this is, this has changed completely is, is there's not a lot of evidence of that. What we've seen is some movement. Right. But I mean, you know, 9 to 20 is a big move.

It is. You know, you're seeing the same thing. Especially in one, in one season. Yeah, one campaign season, one election cycle. Yeah. So it's definitely worth noting. I just, it can't, the effects of, again, it's, and it's 10 points of a population that only makes up about 12% of the population.

So you're talking about. a fraction of a fraction here. But those 10 points will help a lot. Yeah. And also, these are also individuals. And it's very, very positive. Wait, they're individuals? They don't vote as a block?

No, they don't. All with the same mindset, they don't all think alike? That's weird. That is weird. Yeah. None of them are good looking, though. Right. Not of them are clean, apparently.

That we've learned from our freaking president. More coming up in one minute. All right, let me tell you about Mark. He lives in Washington and he's had a relief factor story. Mark was involved in the bad injury. Afterward, he found himself living daily with nagging back pain. Gee Pat, you can't relate to that at all. Oh, not at all.

Not at all. It's only been like 45 years of back pain for me. Yeah. So I can't really. Don't worry about that. He found himself living with this pain and it often came with a side order of pain and numbness in his leg. He was desperate for some kind of relief, something drug-free, and thankfully he found relief factor.

The pain went from being unbearable to me. minimal. It's been a blessing, he says, noting that he loves the fact that he can just adjust how much he's taking according to what he needs for managing his aches and pains. Glenn has been where Mark was, and you might be there as well. Relief Factor helped him get his life back. It can help you too.

Here was Biden shuffling around in Normandy. This is, it's going to make you feel proud as an American. It really is. Watch this. On its way with Macron. McCrott's got to hold himself back, obviously, because he's, oh yeah, that's right. This guy's 106. I got to slow down.

All right. And you can tell it's agonizing for him. That's actually a tough thing to do. Yeah, it is. If you ever have an elderly rather than, I had a friend who had an injury, and, you know, I was walking, like, you know, had a long walk with him. And it was like, it was hard to even, because you don't know how to slow down. It feels so awkward, but you don't want to be rude and walk ahead. At least with my dad, what I wanted to do was put my.

my hand on his back and kind of push them along. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't want to be pushed. No? Like that, no. No, they don't. At least my dad.

Maybe it was just him. Yeah. Maybe he didn't enjoy that. I think most elderly people like to be pushed. Yeah, I think that's... I'm helping. All I'm doing is helping to move. Let's go.

We're going to get there. Come on. It's too slow. It's too slow. Too slow. And most of the time, it's not that they mentally don't want to go faster. It's that their body is living in them. That's typically the thing.

Yeah, they can. The pushing doesn't help them is such a little. It actually does not. That's what I found anyway, in the long run with my dad. Yeah. Toward the end there. So you're aware of this bubbling online controversy about a moment during today's festivities where, and this is a little, I was going to throw this out there. This is not my observation.

People believe that there's a moment where he sort of stops and it looks like he's almost sitting in an invisible chair for about. Oh, yes. I am aware of that. And there's some speculation, don't we? Do we have that? Is that the one where, no? Okay. The speculation as to that he may have, he may have been pooping.

Now, I don't, it's not my speculation. That is this, it is trending on Twitter right now. I saw the moment people are talking about. He's kind of bent over like he's, well, pooping. But I don't know that he was. I don't know. You don't know that he was. I don't know that he was.

No, I do not. So you don't know either way. Either way. No information. I don't have any information on that. You can't tell. I will say it. Look, I don't know what he was doing there.

I will say if you were in a moment where you were on stage and this had to happen, that's what it looks like. I would think so, yes. That's what it looks like. I think if you had to, if you needed to do something like that in that moment, this would approximate the physical actions that would occur if you were doing that. But that doesn't mean he was doing it. It does look like he was doing it.

But that it doesn't mean he was. And that's something that's important. Right. Well, it was a long flight. I'm sure they packed some depends for the trip. And so it's quite possible that in fact he was relieving himself there. And to be like, I mean, we always want to be fair to the other side. Why else do you have them if you can't do that?

Right? Like, why do you put them on? Well, you put them on for no reason. If you don't use them. A weapon unused is a useless weapon. And if you don't have, if you got the depends on and don't make use of them, what is the point of your assistant putting them on your legs in the first place? All you do is you have this bulky underwear now.

You don't want that? Why did Anthony Blink and slide them up? your legs in the first place. Was it Anthony? I assume. He gets that, I think that's his gig. Why else does he have the gig?

No one else can explain that. No, you can't. Well, he does play guitar. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. I forgot about the guitar. So there's that. So I don't know.

I mean, I feel like at this point, it is unclear what he was doing on stage. Did you ever think there'd be a time in American history where we'd be talking about whether or not the President of the United States was on stage pooping into his depend's adult diapers?

Did you ever feel like, there'll come a time when we do that. No, and then here we are. Here we are. Honestly, and I've said this in the past, I know, but I really thought things were bad during Obama. Yeah. I thought they were bad under Clinton. Yeah. I thought they were terrible under Biden.

But you couldn't have even foreseen how bad they've become under this guy. Can you imagine what a second term of this will be like? Oh. I can't even comprehend it. I swear he could not make a second turn. He couldn't make it all the way through. I'm out. Do you think he'd even try?

I feel like he'd get in halfway through, say, all right, it's probably time. And give it to Kamala. Give her a couple of years a runway to do whatever she's going to do. If he wouldn't do that, and I don't, I don't know, he would. They'd have to invoke the 25th Amendment. They'd have to remove him from office. I really believe that. Well, we never tried that one before.

Nope. You know, it's the first time for everything, though. First time for everything. Again, a weapon unused is useless weapon.

We've been talking about the trip that the president has made to Normandy. It is the 80th commemoration of the invasion of Normandy and D-Day itself. Just absolutely incredible that it's been 80 years.

And what we were talking along the way about some of the racist things, and it was sparked because the president did the Frenchie French kiss on the cheek thing. to a few of the white veterans, but apparently avoided the black veterans. If anybody's got a video that contradicts that, I'd love to see it because that's what I was on the air while it was happening, so I didn't see every single second of it. And I don't want to get this wrong,

but it appeared that he didn't kiss the black vets. Wow. Yeah. And so we were talking about some of his racist comments and actions in the past. I referenced this. Unlike the African-American community with notable exceptions,

the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community. Wow. But not the blacks. So unlike black people, Latinos should be treated as individuals. Right. Okay. Right.

Okay. Yeah. The blacks, though, they all think alike. Oh, yeah. They're all the same. All the same. That doesn't sound racist at all. Not at all.

No, no, not at all. Apparently didn't, to many, because you didn't get any flack except for Moss. But, I mean, for the New York Times and Washington Post and NBC, ABC, CBS, to all ignore that. And they act like they've never seen any evidence of any of this stuff. That's why, I mean, we talked about this yesterday. The articles that appeared in Time Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, I think are really important milestones because it shows. the evidence that these things are building up so much and there's so much evidence, it can't be ignored anymore.

You know, the fact that he's this feeble and that he's had this kind of cognitive decline, and yet the White House continues to say he's sharper than ever. They can't, they've seen enough of it now to where they just can't, they can't stay on that bandwagon. Yeah. And a lot of that comes back to the conversation we had earlier. about how desperate for power the people in this industry are. That, you know, look, they're not looking at this and trying to say things that are rational.

They're trying to say the things that will allow them to keep the jobs they have. Right. Like, no, everyone on earth, and this includes every liberal you know, everyone on earth looks at Joe Biden and is obviously aware he cannot do this job. They all know it. This is not a, this is not, it's not something unique that we've thought up. It's not some incredible observation. With all of our intellect, we've all on the right come up with this incredible insight into,

it's blatantly obvious to everyone with eyes. We're not divulging state secrets. No. They all know what you know. Everybody does. You can't help but. Which is why it's discussed so often in Australia. Have you ever watched the Australian?

What channel is it? I don't know. It's one of their channels that, Channel 4 or something, that they almost on a nightly basis mock our president because they have noticed, they're the Fox News of Australia, and they show it far more than any American media ever. And they highlight his feebleness and his cognitive disabilities. And the fact that he might have pooped his pants, for instance,

on stage, I'm sure they'll probably show that. Because you mentioned that he's bent over like he might be going to the bathroom in the process of something. Sort of like Al Roker at that, you know, the White House meeting. You pooped in your pants. I pooped my pants. Yeah. Pretty soon we might have Joe Biden admitting that. You pooped in your pants.

I pooped my pants. What was the context of that again? He went to visit the White House. Yeah. And he had some. He ate something he wasn't supposed to. Okay. And you pooped in your pants.

I pooped my pants. That's a, what an amazing thing to admit on television. Isn't it? That's incredible. You know you're on TV, right? You know, there's a camera right there and a microphone that you put on. Was it under the premise of like, I need to help inform people of this type of ailment or whatever? It was one of those type of things?

Well, didn't he start his weight loss with the surgery? I think he had the stomach stipple or whatever. And so I think this was in the context of warning people that if you eat bad things, after this surgery, bad things are going to happen. Okay. And it happened to him at the White House. You pooped in your pants. I pooped my pants.

I poop my pants. But I don't care how much you want to help people. If it were me, I'm not admitting that. The most incredible part of that interview is that was her first question. She just walked right in and it went. So, Al, you pooped your pants. You pooped in your pants. I pooped my pants.

Okay. Welcome to the show, Al. I guess we'll get more information on it. Maybe they'll make a public statement. Peter Ducey might ask about it. Mr. President, Mr. President, did you poop your pants at Normandy the other day? I'll give him $100 if he'll chip in $100. I would say, like, and I, you know, look, I think he asked some tough questions.

I like that he's there doing that. But that would not be detailed enough because it would not, it would not limit it to the moment we're talking about. about it. It would keep it too open. Of course, at some point while he was in Normandy, he pooped his pants. I'm talking about that particular moment in front of the crowd. We all know he did it at some point. Obviously. I mean, obviously. He's 81. He doesn't have. That would allow them to get out of it. They'd be like, well, of course I did. But it wasn't there. It was at another location. Now, how can we mock the president this mercilessly? He is spry and sharp. And here's a shot of him walking across the stage at Normandy. He's getting ready to take his place and getting ready for his speech.

Look at it. You talk about vitality. Vim. Vigour. It actually, it's so much more hilarious because of the music. It's like Olympics music where you're normally used to see in like 25-year-olds and perfect physical condition who run marathons and jump over really high things. And, you know, incredible athletic achievements.

And then you just see Joe Biden. shuffling across the stage. He's probably not about to run a 10 second 100 meters there. I get the impression that maybe he can sit and that's about the extent of his athletic prowess. He can sit

and he can stand for a few minutes. After his speech he went back to his seat and he was trying everybody else was standing and Jill was like stand up. You can tell she gets irritated with him because I think he's been given instructions and he can't follow him and she doesn't want him to screw it up. It's a hard part of life when you're with someone who's aging in that way.

Like there are moments and you feel terrible about it afterward, but there are moments where you get frustrated. I've had relatives who have had this go on and I've talked to them about how they live with an elderly relative and like, I want it. We're going shopping and like, Like it takes forever to get in and out of the store. And like you just want them to, it's tough. It's tough to deal with. And I think that's hard. And that's to, you know, I guess defend Jill a little bit with their seeming anger toward Joe.

But it is true. It's hard to deal with that. It is hard. Yeah. I mentioned on my show that my mom would get irritated with my dad toward the end of his life because he started to slow down. She'd be like, Joe. Can you pick up your feet? But he kind of couldn't.

Kind of couldn't. But her thought process was he's making himself this way because he won't push himself a little bit. Right. So she tried to push him a little bit. How did that work? But he wasn't the – it didn't work well. Okay. But he wasn't the president of the United States of America.

Yeah. That's the kind of subtle difference. Right. This is a good point. Because, you know, and people will say, you're just mocking your people on the Democrats or your political opponents. Like, when's the last time we mocked Jimmy Carter for being old? Like, I don't – Yeah.

No. Not at all. Like the guys, first, first of all, he's been a hospice for approximately 15 years. I don't know what's going. Like, this is like, whatever they're doing at this hospice, they should really like farm out to other communities because he's doing really well there apparently. And he's literally 100, isn't he? Or did he? He's either 100 now or about to turn 100. And we don't mercilessly mock him because he's not president of the United States at this time.

Exactly. You feel for people as they get older. And honestly, like, it has nothing to do with people in their age. 80s, we, you know, there's plenty. We have them on the show. Alan Dershowitz is the example I always go back to because he's so ridiculously sharp. Yeah. Like, he's so on top of his game at 84 years old that it stands out. But this is not uncommon, right? Like, what we're asking of the President of the United States is not some crazy request. What we're asking for is for some, someone who can, I don't know, occasionally move around stage would be nice. But I could deal with

we've had presidents in wheelchairs. Like I can deal with even that. It's the mental part of it that really bothers me. And like I'm not going to mock a guy for being old. There's nothing, there's nothing like, there's nothing wrong with being old. We all get there. It's going to happen to all of us. We're all blessed if we get to the point.

Yeah. For a very long time, people didn't make it to their 80s to have the mental acuity drop off of Joe Biden. It wasn't a great achievement of American society that we all died before we lost. our marbles, right? Like, that's not, I'm glad we have extended lives and a lot of people get to the chance where people now die of things that are totally different, right? They don't die at 45 as often. They die much older. And with that aging process comes a whole new slew of problems. But what you want to kind of avoid, what I tend to try to avoid, is to put someone who's going

through that process running the freaking country. But that's just the type of thing. that maybe we should look out for in the future. I just don't understand why it has to be denied. Look, the guy became president for a couple of reasons as far as his campaign went, which was number one, a return to normalcy, which we have not received. Whatever he was promising as far as this normal, middle of the road guy was not reality. Did not happen. At all, in any way, shape, or form.

And what pisses me off, all of what you said is the absolute truth, and yet we're continually lied to by the people who are closest to him and get things like this told to us. Adrian Elrod, cut nine, listen to this. I can tell you that he is sharper than ever. And again, I want to go back and really underscore the fact that his record is very strong. He's achieved more as president than at least the past board of. five presidents before him. You cannot get that done if you don't have all of your faculties about. Yeah, okay.

They're trying to tell us he's sharper than ever. I mean, it's nuts. Come on. We all. It's insulting to our intelligence. It is. And that was one of the things. A subtle part of the Joe Biden candidacy, I think, for people, was that he was,

and he said this himself, that he was basically a bridge, right? A bridge. He wasn't trying to do anything revolutionary. Now, of course, he's done a lot of things. I will say the one thing I will say, the one thing. I will defend on that statement is that he really has done a lot. A lot of really terrible things for this country. He has moved the ball down a road so we can maybe replicate the last hundred years of

Argentina. He's done that, that I will say. So he has not been without achievement for the left. And he really has. I mean, I can understand in some ways why they'd want him back in there because this formula of brain dead presidential candidate letting his, you know, left-wing advisors run the show has produced some dividends for them. But the other part of this was sort of that he was a bridge candidate.

And he didn't say this, but kind of maybe you think, maybe a one-term guy. You know, that was kind of, it wasn't explicitly pitched. No, but that's the impression we got, though. Yeah, it was like, all right, well, Trump, you know, a lot of people had a problem with Trump. And it's like, well, this guy's going to be around for four years, how bad can it get? That was kind of part of the pitch. Yeah.

And, of course, now that's not happening. and now they have to find some way to sell this to people. AAA 727. Beck, more coming up. Well, you know, things could always be worse, right? I mean, we went through some of the housing stuff. It's just incredible how bad this is for people right now. And it seems to be getting worse.

That's the kind of mentality you've got to have when you're making big, important decisions in your life. So when it's time to buy or sell a home or both, usually you're doing both kind of around the same time.

The mentality you're going to need is that same one. Your real estate agent needs to have that one as well. And because if you get down this road and you get an agent who is anything short of a perfectionist or a hard worker, you're basically just begging to get less for the home you're selling or pay more for the one you're buying. And maybe both. So you don't want that. Glenn Beck, of course, started real estate agents. I trust.com years ago because he was having those same frustrations.

You shouldn't have to deal with it. Any of that stuff, honestly. be able to have a good real estate agent in any area that you're in.

Yeah. They didn't necessarily. They had all been delivered yet. Exactly. Yeah. So it's kind of interesting who's on, who seems to be among the survivors to become the vice presidential candidate on the ticket. We've got people like Stefanik and Donald's and even Ben Carson is still on the list. Can we move past the Ben Carson thing?

please. He really likes Ben Carson. I mean, you know, there's stuff to like. I like Ben Carson, but like, I don't know if he's the pick. No, he's not. He's like Doug Mom, Doug, now I want to call him Doug Momentum. Doug Bergamenton. Doug Bergamemton. Doug Bergamania? Yes. There is a transition that could come from Bergamentum to Bergamania, and it could happen at any moment. It sure could. He's getting a letter, I bet. He's getting a letter. Yes. Wait, wait. Now, you're giving, do you actually have a list of the people who are getting the letters? I don't, yeah, I was just looking for it. I haven't found it exactly, but he's, on it. Tim Scott is on it.

That one I believe. The Berger mentioned thing, I find it hard to believe he would pick Doug Bergum for this role. I do too. I don't know. He doesn't bring enough to the table. He brings money. He brings a bank account, but that's about it. Yeah. I don't see it.

You're not going to get any help from him. Now, Byron Donald's, I like a lot. I think Byron Donald's could be a viable candidate and might help him. But because they're both From Florida, does that hurt? Does that... Well, one of them would have to move in theory.

I mean, there is some disagreement on this. I don't think there's an absolute rule on that, but it's kind of an unwritten one. I thought it was a written one, but there's disagreement on the specifics, right? Like, there is, there are some people out there who believe they could be in the same state. But I've always heard, and I think the majority of constitutional experts believe that they have to be in separate states. And of course, Donald's already holding office. would be, it would be hard for him to leave. And it's hard to, it's hard to imagine Donald Trump being like,

you know what, I'll leave for a VP. I don't know. Would he have to leave or could he just say my main, just change your main residence to Manhattan or whatever. It just, it would be weird. I don't know. If he really believed it was that Donald's or Rubio for that example, for that matter,

was the right person. Both of them seemed to be on some sort of short list. He obviously could do it. But it just, it seems, it's like out of, it doesn't feel very Trumpian to be like, oh, I will subjugate myself to an address move to, to accommodate my VP. It just doesn't feel like something. It's not Trumpian. It's not something he would like to do. It's almost like you say, you know what,

Byron, if you want this gig, you move. You know, it kind of seems like it's more of that situation. But I think if he really, obviously, if he thinks it's going to help him in the election, he thinks the person is the right person. He could definitely see that happening. Also, Byron Donald's is on it. He's under attack right now a little bit. from the left because did you hear this comment? Like he was talking about the Jim Crow years. And that the black family was more together during those years. And that was a good thing.

I mean. And they're saying like the way it's presented. So you want Jim Crow to come back? Right. The way it's presented is Byron Donald's shortlist VP for John John. A black man. They don't say that in the headline. No, they don't.

And they say that he thought Jim Crow was good for black people. Come on now. Come on. I'm so tired of the, you know, I want to be. enraged by something, so I'm going to read this into it. People just want to be offended. So rather than just understanding his point that in that era, the black family was, I think, the foundation, like having a mother and a father with the children, I think they had more

of that than any other demographic. I think it was more than whites at the time. So it's gone from that where they had 90 or 95 percent of husbands and friends. fathers in the family in the home to what is it now 65% or something like that and so that's what he's talking about and rather than understanding that's his point that the black black family was together and that was a good thing families are a good thing they have to jump immediately to biron donald hates black people even though he's a black person and it's just so disingenuous and obnoxious. But we'll see if he

if he turns out to be the pick. Like you said, Stu, though, I think it's probably remote the chance of him being. Yeah, I think Donald's is remote. You know, he's not particularly well-known house member and it doesn't necessarily add up. Good though. Pretty solid conservative. Yeah, I generally like him. Yeah. No problem. Stefonic is another one that kind of falls into that category

where she's not particularly well-known out of Washington, Though she's been a star on the campus protests, she's done a really good job and has really raised her profile, is that enough? I mean, I do think, you know, certainly the reporting has indicated that he's looking at potentially picking a woman. That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to. I mean, certainly what we know of Donald Trump is that he doesn't typically make decisions like that.

He doesn't typically make decisions based on, identity politics, for example. Maybe he will factor that into this particular pick, although I've been surprised at how many on the right are just like, sure. Oh, he's going to definitely pick either a person of color or a woman. It's like, well, I mean, maybe he will. But like, I mean, shouldn't, number one, he should be picking whoever he thinks the best person is for the job in case he can't do it. That should be his pick.

And also, I mean, if I'm Trump, I'm looking for someone who's going to take my ideological position. and extend it. I mean, if he picks someone, I mean, I don't know who the, I'm trying to think of who the person in this group is that would best highlight this. Maybe it's Tim Scott. Tim Scott has a lot of similarities with Donald Trump,

but it's not, I don't think, from the ideological school of Donald Trump, whatever you think that is. I mean, J.D. Vance is, right? J.D. Vance seems to be. Who's another one on the list. Another one on the list. And like, you know,

Marco Rubio's moved a lot in that direction. though does not come necessarily from that foundation. And neither does Vance, honestly. But a lot of these guys have moved over the years. Vance seems very dedicated, though, to this sort of nationalist, populist type of view that you might identify with Donald Trump. And so I'm thinking to myself, if I'm Trump,

like, do I want this to be just a me thing? Do I want this movement, you know, Trumpism, Magaism, whatever we want to call it? Do you want that to be just limited to you while you're around? And I don't know. I mean, Trump isn't an ideologue. He really isn't. I mean, he's just not that guy.

He's got about five or six things he really passionately cares about. And then a lot of stuff that he, you know, I mean, he has interest in and he takes positions on. But he's not like, you know, you look at Reagan's 1960s speeches. And you see a guy who has a very highly developed conservative view. And that carries all the way till he's out of office in 1989, right? And beyond. Yeah. Right. That's not the approach. I mean, Donald Trump has taken, you know, he goes, I mean, Bitcoin's been an interesting one. And I think he's gone from wrong to right on it. Like, it's a good thing to have some mobility on that. He was kind of against it when he was president. You know, he wasn't really a supporter and took a lot of positions against it. He's really changed on that, it seems. I mean, he now seems to be a real friend of the Bitcoin community, which I think is a real positive development. So it's not always bad.

The fact that he's not like a guy who worked at a think tank for 80 years before he became president, it has some really good things to it. But like, I think there are certain things that are really important to him that you'd think he'd want to pick in a vice president, assuming, you know, he's only got four years in office here. So whatever the next guy, if you pick a guy who, like you pick Ted Cruz, for example, Cruz has a lot of similarities to, and I don't think Cruz is going to be the pick, by the way, but I'm just using him as an example. Cruz has a lot of similarities to Donald Trump.

They agree on most policies. But Cruz has a very highly well-developed view of the Constitution and policy that would make the next generation of Republican politics a Cruz version. It would be his version. It would not be Trump's version. If Cruz becomes president of the United States, the Republican Party is going to be remade at some level into the Cruz version of the Republican Party. you could say the same thing about a bunch of people.

You know, I think Rubio has a slightly different version. You know, Scott, I think, has a different version. And Vance has a very similar version. And I think, I don't know if that plays into the way Trump is thinking about this. That would be something I would make central to my decision if I were picking a vice president if I was in Trump's spot. Because you would care about your legacy and what the Republican Party is after you're gone. I think he's not Apparently

I don't know if it's just rumor or if he's actually said he's not going to pick the candidate until after the convention Have you heard that too? I think he has to have him

at the convention, right? I don't, I think he's going to pick to wait until around then. Yeah. It might not be a reveal at the convention but something like that.

Something close by. In the meantime, there's a new New York Times pull out. and it's got information about what's happened to the polling since he was convicted on 34 counts. Yeah, and it's kind of an interesting thing they did. Normally, when you take polls, let's say, we talk about this all the time. Well, Donald Trump's down by three points in this poll.

And that's not really technically true, right? Like what pollsters do is they take a random sampling of the population and they call up people and they say, hey, who are you voting for? I vote for Trump. I'm voting for Biden. and they put this you know they calculate it they put in sometimes waiting depending on demographic groups they do all

their little stuff and I know a lot of people don't like the changes that they make but that's the process they call up you know let's say 2,000 random people and get their opinion then three or four weeks later they call 2,000 other random people and the belief is you're calling random

people so you're still get a group of of people who are representative of the average voter. But they're not calling the same people. It's not like they call Bob Smith, and then next time they decide they're going to call Bob Smith again. There are certain polls that do this, like panel polls.

It's been another approach that has been tried and with varying levels of success. But the idea with those are you're calling the same person back and seeing if their opinion has changed. What the New York Times decided to do is call back 2,000 people they had already talked to, the exact 2,000 people. Hey, Bob Smith, you're back on the phone with me. Hey, you know, you saw this trial thing go down. Now who are you going to vote for? And so this is kind of an interesting view into that group.

What they found was a slight move toward Biden in this group of people. 2,000 people, when they called them the first time, they had Trump 48, Biden 45. When they called them back, they had Trump 47, Biden 46. So a super slight move, but actual people supposedly changing their minds. Now, when you look at this and break it down, it's pretty interesting as to the group of people who decided to change their mind. Of all Trump supporters, only 3% of Trump supporters changed their mind to Biden. 3%. So that's smaller than the group that had told the New York Times they would change their mind if he was convicted.

And I think that's interesting. Initially, about 7% of Trump supporters said they would change their mind if there was a conviction. The group, when they actually called them back, it was only 3%. So less than half of those people who said they would change their mind actually did in this particular poll. But the breakdown, which I found most interesting, is how often they pay attention to politics. Among this group, how often do they pay attention? only 1% of people who actually pay attention all the time to politics change their mind. 1%.

People who follow politics most of the time, it's only 2%. People who follow politics like half the time. There's only 3% of people who changed their mind. But 15% of Trump voters who follow politics some of the time or never change their mind. So these are low information voters. These are people who don't follow politics, didn't follow the trial, don't know the details of how all this happened, just saw the headline, convicted felon. Those people were more than five times more likely than these groups to change their mind. And this is the target of the Democratic Party.

They're going after people who just aren't following things all that closely. Low information voters. And the Trump voter that you might think of is someone who's online tweeting about Trump. following everything he says on truth social. That's not the people. Those aren't the people who are going after. They're going after people who just basically have a vibe that my life was better during in 2019 than it is today. And they recognize that.

And so they're thinking they're leaning Trump. But then see this happen and be like, oh, gosh, apparently he's committed some big crime. So yeah, I'm going to change. I'm sort of optimistic about this group long term, though. And maybe we can get into that here in a second. All right. More coming up in one minute. Next time you pull through the drive-thru and get a burger,

take it home, throw out in the microwave, throw it on for like, I don't know, maybe an hour in the microwave and let that thing crisp up all nice. And then take it out, it'll be a smoldering mess. You probably burned your house down by now. But then take a little beef seasoning, just spray it on there, a little flavoring.

Wow. That's going to be good, right? That dinner bell is ringing now. Well, that's what your dog feels like because you're just giving him like some brown chunks of, God knows what, sprayed with flavoring. You can make them.

that a lot better if you give him rough greens. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog food.

So looking at this group of supporters in case you missed the breakdown, 3% of former Trump supporters decided they're going to switch to Biden after this verdict.

according to a New York Times poll where they called back these people and asked them if they'd changed their mind. If you pay attention to politics at all, almost no chance you're changing your mind. But 15% of people who pay attention very little or not at all, and they were thinking about voting for Trump are now thinking about voting for Biden. And I'm optimistic about this group because right now, we're in June. it's easy to not pay attention to politics in June. It's easy to not pay attention to some trial in June and in May.

I mentioned this the other day. I was at the airport when the trial broke and everyone's on their phones because that's what you're doing at an airport, especially one that's filled with tons and tons of weather delays. I mean, there was no seats to be found in Dallas, the DFW airport when I was leaving. And as this, I'm watching it on my, my phone, the verdict come down, the reaction to it. I'm following it. And as it was leading up to it, I thought, this is going to be interesting because everyone's on their phone right now.

Everyone's going to get the alerts that say he was guilty, right? Like, everyone's going to see this. How are people going to react? Is there going to be some sort of audible reaction? Grumbling? Are people going to be upset? Are people going to be excited? Is there going to be a mix?

Are people going to have conversations about it? How many people are going to be reading it? I walked around the entire area. I was around spying on people's phone. no one was looking at it. No, literally, I could not find one other person watching or reading the coverage, which I thought was fascinating. No one cared. Now, that's just a small microcos of an airport.

Who knows? It's in Dallas, who knows? But the point is, as you have five more months of debates, conventions, political ads in your face constantly, interviews, things taken out of context, things. going viral, God only knows what else, it's going to be really difficult to be in the group of people who never pay attention to politics. You're going to be sucked in if you're a voter. You're going to have some attention to this. And I think when people see both sides of this, not just a headline that says he's guilty, when people see that, you know, economic proposals and all these other things that they think are going to actually affect their lives, I think

all or very close to all of the people that are saying there's, switching to Biden are going to come back to Trump. I mean, that's just, you know, again, I'm reading the room here a little bit, but that's what I think will happen. Hope so. Hope so. And a lot of these polls don't include RFK Jr. How do you think that's going to impact the election?

You think it helps? Does it hurt Trump more or does it hurt Joe Biden more to have him involved? I'm leaning now towards it hurts Biden more when he's involved. This is something I've watched really closely because RFK Jr. is a factor. I mean, he's not going to be at one or two percent, I don't think. I think he's going to do better than that. And watching all the polls so far, I try to watch every single one for this one thing. I think right now what we've seen is that there is a slight, it slightly hurts Joe Biden.

It's not overwhelming. It's not in every poll, but I think it hurts Biden more than Trump. Every little bit helps, especially in an election this close. We'll see. Triple-8-727B, E-CK, more patents two for Glenn. coming up. So there you are with a whole family. Finally taking the summer vacation you've all been dreaming about since, you know, since the engine, probably last summer. And just when you're thinking nothing can possibly go wrong, something does. The car. It's going to be expensive. Summer, you know,

Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C with your thoughts today. I've been a little surprised. We've talked about Bill Maher and some of the things he said, some of the common sense things that he has said on his show and other people's shows over the last,

certainly over the last several months, but it's been a couple of years, I think, where he seems to not be able to go with the left on some of their most extreme issues. He's got a problem with the, you know, not referring to a woman as a woman. And he's even said some interesting things on the border. He actually said that he does believe abortion is murder. He's just okay with murder of innocent babies. Isn't it?

I mean, it's true. Yeah. It's what every leftist beliefs, but it's interesting that he admits it. I give him credit for that. I do too. Less credit for liking murder. Yes. Yeah, that does seem to be problematic, suboptimal, as you might say from time to time.

But the reaction to people on the right has been interesting to me, too. They're kind of bashing him for it some. I mean, some of us are accepting his common sense as such. Others are calling him disingenuous and bashing him for taking these stands. I'm not sure why you would do that. For years, Glenn has practically begged someone on the left to join him in saying, Yeah, look, maybe I was a little too harsh. Maybe I contributed to the problem of the division in this country.

I mean, he really came forward and said all that 12 years ago. Maybe I was too nasty. But is there anybody who would step up and join him saying that? He tried to get, what was the name of the woman who did the talk show for a while? It's been long canceled by now. But she even came to the studio and we thought that she was going to be reasonable. Is it Samantha? Would you remember?

Samantha B. God. I forgot about her. Yeah. Samantha B. And then she turned out to be so disingenuous. She came here and said, yeah, you know what? You're right. Let's get together on some issues.

There are things we can agree on. Let's talk about those. No. There's really been nobody. And now Bill Maher is doing that. And a lot of people on the writer slapping him back down for it. I say, let's embrace somebody who's, willing to admit that they've been, you know, that they've, they've gone, that the left has gone

stark raving mad. You know, he's, he's accused the right of going stark raving mad on many occasions, but now he's also at least acknowledged that it's happening on the left, and he can't go that far with them. And I, I say we should embrace somebody like that. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Yeah. I'm not a huge Bill Maher fan. No, I'm not at all. But I like the fact that he's, and honestly, the fact that he says things like, you know, the abortion and murder thing. And, but then we'll also say, you know, stuff about how crazy it is that we're just switching genders because of words. Like, it's like a abracadabra is another word you could use to change genders. Like, it doesn't, it's not real.

In fact, that he'll admit stuff like that. Yeah. Not only is, I think, good for society, but also makes him individually interesting, right? Like, I, you know, I don't find anyone on MSNBC interesting, not because they're liberal, but because I already know what they're going to say before I turn it on. And you know in every circumstance what they're going to say. Yeah. And I don't know that with Bill Maher all the time.

Like, I mean, I think if you watch, if you're a, if you're a P1, as you'd call it in the business, you would probably be able to predict most of the stuff that Bill Maher does. But as a person who watches him sometimes, he pisses me off sometimes with opinions, I think, are totally wrong. but also sometimes will surprise me and and say stuff that nobody else will say. And that makes him interesting, worth listening to, worth checking out, worth, you know, I don't, what do you get out of people that you know exactly what they're going to say every single time? You know, I mean, I hear this, this is definitely something there is a massive problem with on the right right now, I think,

because you listen to a lot of conservative media and you know, look, you might. might like it, but you know exactly what they're going to say every single time you turn it on. And I don't know, some people really like that. Some people, I don't know if they find comfort in it. Some people, I think, just enjoy that. I know that's true because some people in this audience get angry at us when we violate what they think we're going to say. Yeah. You know, I get that and I have some sympathy for it. You know, we're trying to do a show that you enjoy. And if, if we're pissing you off because we're saying something you don't like, I'm sorry about that.

But I mean, I don't know. What I want out of a host is someone who's going to say what they actually believe, say something honest, look at the world from their perspective and try to deliver that perspective, you know, hopefully do it in an entertaining way. I don't want someone who's just going to say what I can get from 9,000 people on Twitter, just giving me the generic talk.

talking points over and over. I don't want that. I get nothing out of that. And so Marr probably violates that with his liberal audience all the time. But they keep coming back because he's at least being honest about it. And that's good. It's what we should want out of a host. It is. And yes. And appreciate that. Because especially during this election cycle, we need people to speak the truth. We need the truth to get out there because we can't go through another four years of this guy. I mean, the disintegration of his mental acuity has been astounding in the last three and a half, four years, not to mention his policies.

His policies to start with were bad enough. And then you've got a guy applying them who sometimes doesn't even know where he is. Man, I mean, he was wandering around on the stage again today, completely lost, doesn't know where to, And you know that his advisors, Joe Biden's advisors are telling him every single time, Mr. President, you enter on the right side of the stage, you leave to the left side of the stage. Somebody will be waiting to direct you when they get there. We're going to help you down the stairs so that you don't trip and fall. Everything's in the teleprompter. Please don't read the things in parentheses. Those are just instructions for you on when to pause and when not to. so don't say things like four more years

pause four more years pause four more years pause so anyway we can't go through I don't know you just keep hitting me with these clips today

and it's blowing me away how one time where you're reading a prompter and you say four more years pause isn't your career over but what's the guy's name

uh Sanchez Rick Sanchez from CNN. Poor Rick Sanchez, man. Oh my gosh. The guy was on TV and he said, Adlib, a tease. A tease. And because he was just reading the directions on his teleprompter. And it was faking it. Again, like, I don't know. Like, yeah, like, what do you do? I mean, everyone knows people in television have teleprompters. It's not that big of a deal, I suppose. But like, he said ad lib a tease and he kind of blew it off. He actually handled it somewhat well.

He just made a mistake. And like, the guy's gone. and we never heard from the guy again. Right. Right. Like, we're, we never heard from poor Rick Sanchez ever again. And like Joe Biden's, they're going,

Ahlib, tease, pause. Four more years. Pause. And no one cares. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. It's just joking.

And that just can't go on. And so, again, I welcome Bill Maher's comments. Yes. And the common sense. Thank you. I agree.

Thank you, Bill. What I don't welcome is that there's another, apparently there's a new strain of the bird flu that jumped to humans and we had one human just die of it. So that's not good. Is this panic going to start before the election? Is this going to be another way they manipulate us before November so that they make it very

difficult to get out and vote and they've got all kinds of ways for you to vote that are easily manipulated? That's my worry on this. What I've read about this is limited. I will admit. So if we have some virologists who want to call in and let us know. hey, actually it is really, really the opposite of what you're saying. But from what everything I've heard, it's not exactly easy to get and to pass, right?

Like this is something unlike COVID, which became very easy and airborne and all that. It's not that's not where it is. Now that can change, I suppose. Well, they're trying to make a change in some labs right now. Exactly. All over Wuhan, they're trying to get a new breakout. I just, well, it's just one of those things that we can't, eventually one of these things will be real again. We're not going to, it might be 100 years, but like, we will have another pandemic.

That will happen. Sure. It's just a matter of, like, how do you react to it? This is why, you know, the Blaze series that we have right now, it's called the cover-up. It's a docu-series available on Blaze TV. You can get access. If you go to Fauci coverup.com slash Glenn, use the code Fauci lied. You get 30 bucks off.

But that is a part of an effort to not only hold people accountable like Fauci. And that, look, that's important, but like boring to me. Like, yeah, you know, the fact that Fauci did things that were wrong, he should be held accountable in whatever way is appropriate. That's important, but not necessarily the most important thing. The most important thing to me is we draw bright lines so that next time this happens and it will happen. We don't do the same crap again. We don't violate people. We don't close down churches.

Like, there is no bright line other than the Constitution, which, by the way, existed before all of this. There's no, like, new thing. and some states have done some on this. I should point out, some states have moved the line a little bit. But like drawing bright lines saying, this can't happen next time. I don't care what the pandemic is.

I don't care what is going on in the world. I don't care if Godzilla is currently walking down the streets of your city and launching fire at your skyscrapers, churches can still have services. Like that should be so obvious to us after this. If you hear this sound, then church,

Church is canceled. Then church is canceled. And we might have the election next week. More coming up in one minute and your phone calls. Get even more, Glenn.

Cool summer nights with my family, being out by the campfire. I remember when I couldn't do a lot of these things, because The altitude created a constant unbearable pain for me. My wife, Tanya, insisted that I tried Relief Factor. I didn't think it would work for me. It's a 100% drug-free daily suffering. It's supposed to help your body fight pain naturally. I mean, I went to the best doctors in the world and they couldn't help me.

I didn't think this would work. Relief Factory uses a unique formula of natural ingredients. It doesn't just mask the pain. It reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body. Wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joint, muscles, in three weeks or less, you will start to feel the difference all day, every day.

Pat and Stufer Glenn today. Triple-8-727B-B-E-C-K. Let's go to Barbara in Illinois. Hey, Barbara, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Patent. to. Thank you. I've got a comment about the pollsters. Yeah. I think what you're referring to is the people that call repeatedly like two weeks before the election. I'm a pollster for a national polling company. And the polls that we do, they send us surveys. They can take five to ten minutes, sometimes even longer. and it's a wide range of questions from Biden to Trump to the economy to where we live, how much our salaries are.

It's everything. And I take it pretty seriously because I feel like I'm contributing in some way. I think that's the right way to look at it. I just wanted to put that out there because it is more involved than just a quick phone call. Oh, yeah. And I do understand that side of it. But to be on a national poll, it's pretty cool. Yeah.

It's an interesting experience, actually. And I think you're looking at it the right way. Yeah. I think there's this pushback because the polls missed a couple times that people were like, well, I'm not going to participate in them. And, like, I think that I believe that's misguided, particularly because these campaigns do listen to them. So if they think, like, they're changing policies, approach,

they're assigning, like, if you don't, if you don't, let's say you're, in Ohio and you're like, I'm not going to participate in these darn pollsters. And then a bunch of people are like you. And all of a sudden, the polls in Ohio look close. What the Trump campaign is going to do is spend money in Ohio when they don't need to because you decided not to take polls. Like, it's crazy, I know, and it's a weird way to run a society. But like, these things are important. But it is part of it. They influence these campaigns in major ways. So I would say, look, a lot of people, there's a lot of scam calls that come in and say they're pollsters, you've got to be careful. But like, if you get a legitimate poll and you have a time to take it, take it.

I mean, get your opinion out there. I think it is a good idea. And it does make these things more accurate and makes these campaigns actually address the right issues. Let's go to George in North Carolina. Hey, George. Hey, how are you doing? Good. So, I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of someone named Damon Emani? Damon Emani? I don't think so. Look him up. Okay.

So what he's done is he goes, he was on the view, and he put Whoopi in her place, Hillary, Charlemann the God, he just says things that blow your head off. Okay. All right. Thanks for a call. Let's go to Frank in Michigan. Frank? Hi.

I've got an idea that I'd like to share. My fear is that Trump won't win because of what's going on. So what I think that he should do is pull together all of the people who were running to be the president and all of his vice president, people that are on the list and say, okay, this is our team. These are going to be our policies. And I'll use this as an example. DeSantis, you're going to be the president. Nikki Haley, you're going to be the vice president. I, Donald Trump, will be the Speaker of the House.

or the Secretary of State or something. But I was thinking Speaker of the House because then he's number three in line. And then his whole team, all his cabinet, from all these people, go out and speak nothing but policy, policy, and how we're going to make America great again. I mean, we are a little bit into Fantasy League territory here. I think you're sold on that, though.

I'm just watching you as you speak. I think you're sold. Really? Yeah. You sold Stu, Frank. I will say, I don't think Donald Trump has any interest in being third in line for anything. That's for sure. He's pretty, he likes to be at the top.

Might be a fly in the ointment right there. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like we were like on sports radio and it's like, you know, why don't they just trade this minor leagher we just sent down for Shohei Otani? Why don't just get him? Or why you'll Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, and Shoahoea Otani. I'll play in the same team.

I bet that'd be a really good team. Yeah, I bet it would. I bet it would. More coming up. The Glenn Beck program. Bien-to-a-board of Via Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and celebrate.

Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admire. And, Profite. Via Rae. The voice that we love that am.

Day three of the Hunter Biden gun charge trial happened yesterday. We'll get into that. And we got so much more to. get into as well. Coming up in 60 seconds. We talked about this earlier today. The left is kind of being honestly, some of them are. Bill Maher admitted that killing a baby is murder, but he's okay with it. Not a good position. Maybe rethink that a little bit. But this is the truth, right? And I guess it's good that they're being honest about it.

But how do we stop the madness? Well, you can help by donating to pre-born. They're the largest pro-life organization in the country. They are leading the charge to put an end the atrocity of abortion. Every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after a baby is born. So when a mother sees her unborn child on that monitor, she's more than twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. It's a big difference and just doing this is important, plus all the other incredible work they do. You can donate. 28 bucks can be the difference between life and death. Join the fight by sponsoring one, two, or 200 ultrasounds if you can do it.

All gifts are tax deductible. To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. Pound 250, the keyword is baby or visit them online at preborn.com slash Beck. Preborn.com slash Beck. Sponsored by Preborn. So one of the women from Hunter Biden's life. This one, I don't think I'd heard of her before. Zoe Keston?

She took the stand yesterday? I hadn't heard of her either. she was a girlfriend of Hunter this is back in 2017 to 2018 now this is an important period

because this is when he apparently tried to get this it was around the time where he tried to get this gun and wrote on the form that he was not addicted to drugs so there's a reason they're bringing her on everybody knows he was a drug addict at the time or at least around that time

yeah so let me give you a rundown of this is pretty interesting this is from James Lynch over at National Review. A Hunter Biden's defense team had such a rough day in court on Wednesday that the first son joked about representing himself going forward on the way out of the courtroom. Hunter's defense carefully crafted by attorney Abby Lowell during his opening statement on Tuesday was blown up by the testimony of an ex-girlfriend and ex-wife who described the extent of Hunter's crack cocaine usage. It's really amazing.

I just didn't, and I know you're the man who knows the streets. Pat, you're the type but you just have your street smarts beyond my particular knowledge. Well, I grew up on the main streets of Helena, Montana so you know I'm pretty hip and aware. This is who you are. And it's who you are to your core.

Always been. Isn't, and hasn't crack been out of style for like a long time? Like isn't crack like the thing that I mean, even Whitney Houston back of the day when she was still alive said crack is whack. And what I took from that was that that's for those poor people. people back in the 80s, right?

Like that's not for us, these high-level celebrities. No, we do cocaine. Cocaine. We snort it. Something. We don't smoke it. What else? Maybe we get Jeffie in here, but what are the drugs people are buying right now?

Like, what are the trendy ones of today? Like ketamine or something. You get on something that people, you know, I feel like there are other angles to go on. Fetanil. Right. Right. Something. Crack seems like it's like.

So yesterday. Yeah. I feel like I'm watching a movie for. the 80s. It's weird. Okay. So that's a little bit of a side note. So she had a crack cocaine usage around the time you purchased a firearm in October 2018. And also we heard from the salesman who sold Hunter the gun. He allegedly lied in order to purchase. So Hunter is facing these gun charges. We know about this. Most of the day it was taken up by Zoe Kestan, a woman who dated Biden from roughly December 2017 to November 2018. So during the period where he got the gun.

important. Prosecutor Leo Wise conducted a lengthy direct examination of Castan accompanied by pictures from her cell phone to corroborate her recollection of events.

Wise and Castan seemed to get into a rhythm throughout the direct examination as Castan recalled large events and small details from her time with Hunter Biden. Castan remembered exact dates

and named the various hotels they stayed at during their time together. Each time Castan described as an experience with Hunter Biden. asked her if Hunter Biden smoked crack at their hotel or Airbnb and Kestan always replied affirmatively quote this is from a quote from Kestan every 20 minutes or so wow she said of

Hunter Biden's crack habit during one of the hotel stays she noticed that he smoked crack less frequently in public you're going to do that pat yeah you're going to smoke crack a little less frequently when you're in public like if you're at an apple these generally speaking, it's more like every 40 minutes. I usually wait until we're having a dinner or a lunch at TGI Fridays. Okay. And then you just whip out the crack pipe. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. But not at Apple, because you're right about that. That's crazy. Wise shared photos from Kestan's cell phone showing drug paraphernalia scattered around the bathrooms and tables of their lodgings. One of the images appeared to show Biden in a hotel bathtub, holding a crack pipe in the wee hours of the morning. When Wise showed the images, Kestan easily pulled.

pointed out the drug paraphernalia and explained to the courtroom how the various materials were used to cook and consume crack, which is just fascinating. Like, she's well-versed in this, right? She knows exactly how these things work. Biden allowed Kestan to withdraw cash from his account when he needed to spend it on drugs, she recounted. Kestan stated the names of drug dealers and described the drug transactions she saw at the hotels and other locations.

Her testimony and the images allowed the prosecutor to establish that Hunter was smoking crack in September 2018 following his late August rehab stint in Malibu, California. She said Biden smoked crack every 20 minutes at a Malibu house he rented, and she did not remember Biden discussing her rehab stint during her time at the house in September 2018. A big portion of the Hunter Biden defense is, well, he wasn't actually addicted to drugs at that moment because he's, he had gone to rehab in August. So since he wasn't addicted to drugs, it was okay, even though it was a small slice of time for him to say he was not addicted on the form.

Of course, this is just getting blown up by testimony after testimony. Wise closed the direct examination by introducing a lengthy text message that Biden sent her in December 2018, lamenting how he would always be a drug addict and his attempt to get sober failed. So their defense is,

no, he was totally sober at this point. They have text message. with Hunter saying he wasn't sober. This is how bad their defenses. Oh, man. The text message, as well as Castan's claim that rehab stint had not made a significant impression on Hunter, contradict Lowell's argument that Hunter had regained some semblance of sobriety and therefore did not believe himself to be an addict when he purchased the gun.

In his memoir, beautiful things, which this is a tip for anyone who might be going through some potential legal hassles in your life. don't write a memoir. Don't write a memoir. If you write a memoir, they're going to look at what you said in the memoir. They're going to read the book you wrote. And here's the thing,

I know no one else is going to read it. Like, sure he sold a few copies of that book, did anyone actually read the Hunter Biden thing? Probably not. But the prosecutors are going to read it. They're going to know what you were saying about the time you committed crimes. And I know you thought your daddy would get you out of the trouble, but the memoir hurts you. He must have felt like he was completely untouchable.

Yes. He must have believed that it doesn't matter what I do. Dad can fix it. Must have been that because he seems to. It's been most of his life. Yeah. He just seems to be so reckless. didn't care. And he films everything. You know, he films drug use, being with hookers,

is naked everywhere, you know, the little adventures and parties that he had. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Man. Yeah, and I will say, you know, he's not. Thought he was untouchable. Hunter Biden does get the chicks. I mean, I don't know what it is about that. Yes, he does. I don't know. Is he a good-looking guy? I mean, there was a schick back on Parks and Rec, that show that was on NBC back in the day. I think it was NBC. And the schick was that Amy Poller's character, like, was physically attracted to Joe Biden.

He was, like, super handsome. And it was kind of a joke like he obviously was older. But he'd come in with the, he was on the show a couple times. You had the glasses on, you know, and he'd be like, oh, she'd be like, she was a budding democratic politician and, like, was in love with Joe Biden. It was one of the running jokes on the show. Yeah. So I don't know. Maybe he was, maybe he's attractive and therefore Hunter looking like him is attractive.

Like, I only think of Biden as a, you know, a guy who can't get across the stage now. So I don't, I certainly don't. see it, but maybe Hunter Biden's super attractive. I don't know. I've seen too much of him in these photos. Sarah, you think Hunter Biden's attractive? Is he hot? No. Hunter Biden? No? Okay. How many photos have you seen of him from his laptop? Yeah, I mean, I don't really like to look at him. Right. Okay. So you weren't like seeking them out thinking like, hey, this is something I'd like to maybe check out. No. No. Okay. I mean, are you just against crack users? Would you do? Oh, no. I'm fine with crap.

Okay. Okay. All right. Good. Is this. Is this. Is this. Is this. Is it's not. Okay. Is crack out of style, Sarah? I can't afford it. Okay, all right. It's just too expensive for you. Well, this is Bidonomics in action. The inflation on crack is going through the roof. It's wrong.

It's wrong. You used to be such an affordable drug. You used to be able to get a dime bag for a dime. Yes. But now. Not anymore, Pat. Not anymore. No.

Now Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buell also testified. She said she discovered a crack pipe on their porch. Can you imagine this life? Again, some of this is super sad. Like, for example, she said, this was the year after their anniversary. Imagine a year after your anniversary, you go to your porch and you find a freaking crack pipe on it.

She goes and confronts him about this. He admits that, yeah, he's on crack. Later on, she talks about how she struggled to recall some specific information, but she did remember searching Biden's car every time to make sure the crack cocaine was not in the vehicles when their daughters drove it. Like, oh, wow. Can you imagine as a mom going to your car being like, I got to make sure there's no crack in the car because my kid's going to drive the car? I mean, that is just what the men in this family have put their wives and significant others through over the years is utterly disgraceful.

And they've done it over and over and over again. another person they tried to call out was this guy Gordon Cleveland. He was the guy who was the salesman at the gun store, whose gun enthusiast cared about guns, cares about the Second Amendment, worked there part-time and was part-time was a like, I think a garbage truck driver or something, right? He was just something he did because he liked guns, like, you know, as an enthusiast. So he went into detail describing his entire interaction with Biden, starting from when he spotted his Cadillac driving into the store's parking lot.

He recalled that Hunter wanted to purchase a firearm when he walked into the store, refuting the defense argument that Hunter was browsing other items and was convinced to buy a gun by Cleveland. Can you imagine that? You know, I know you got some, what is that, double mint gum? Hey, do you need a, do you need a gun? You should get a gun. Goes great with double mint. And crack.

And crack. Do you need crack to? Yeah. Yeah, they go hand in hand. They tried to portray this gun salesman as sleazy and greedy during the cross-examination, but he said he was just doing his jobs and warned by Hunter specifically to be honest on the forms. But like this guy who's working his first job as a garbage truck driver and only part-time because he's an enthusiast at a gun store, he's so greedy to get gun sales.

Like he's not the owner of the store even where you maybe you could argue this? I don't know. He's just a part-time employee. So anyway, long story short, lots of interesting details coming out and it's not going well for Hunter. And I don't know. Will anything come of it, though? Will he be convicted? And if convicted, will he go to jail?

Our justice system has a jury of its peers. Demands respect. How dare you question whether they'll get this verdict exactly right. Look, I have some doubts, but I have much more hope that he will. get convicted than I did of Donald Trump not getting convicted. I think there's at least a chance here. And it would be nice.

It would. I don't know if it's going to make a huge difference, but it will maybe advance this a little bit. The gun part of this, too, I would say is not the most interesting. I think the tax part of it is more interesting because him hiding his income

is what leads back to the rest of the family. Yeah, we went through that yesterday. Yeah. Just with the sales of the art, he was obviously lying. Just the art sales were one and a half million. He claimed $130,000. Like one tenth. And no, I've heard no one else other than us talk about that.

That's a huge detail in the story. I mean, maybe people didn't read the whole story. It was in like the New York Times. So, you know, maybe it didn't make the rounds. Because I think it was targeted more to people to feel badly about how Hunter Biden is being attacked all the time. That was the kind of the premise of the article. That's not what I took from it.

AAA 727. Beck, more coming up into me. All right, you have to declare a lot of things when you're traveling on a plane, guns, ammunition, knives, swords, everything. But, you know, there's some things that you don't have to declare. Like, for example, your burnout launcher. This is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction. By the way, don't try to take it on your carry-on luggage. This is something you'd have to check. And you can check an actual firearm, but you have to declare it, and there's a whole process.

this is something that can protect your life and it's legal in all 50 states. You don't have to declare it when you put it in your checked luggage. There's no background checks needed. All age groups over 18 can get these things. And my wife, I bought one for my wife for her birthday. You might say, well, that's an interesting birthday gift. Well, she freaking loved it. The Berna launcher's awesome.

And it has powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range. One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. visit burna.com slash Glenn for 10% off your purchase bryrna.com slash glen get 10% off right now get the latest news about berna all the stuff they've got it's really really really a cool product i think you're going to like it quite a bit and just fits that it just fits you know it's perfect for my wife because she doesn't necessarily want to carry a gun around everywhere not necessarily 100% comfortable with a firearm the brna she loves it's b yrn a dot com slash glen berna dot com slash glen 10 seconds station

ID. You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests? No, I don't think so. I don't think they are. Has he stopped using that one? He used that. No, he still constantly for a while. He uses it all the time on the gun. Anytime gun control comes up, he's got to do the Kevlar vest line. You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests? Well, sometimes. I mean, not every time, maybe, but you never know when they're going to have the vest on and when they're not. That's

why you need the hundred rounds. That's why. Right, because they might take it off. Yeah. You know, right. He'd 100 rounds to shoot through the Kevlar. I will say that idea of the Second Amendment is something that is designed to shoot deer

is an interesting thought. Yeah. Well, and that's why he falls back on that all the time. He thinks that's where people think. Oh, it's about hunting. And obviously, a lot of people bring up hunting when you're talking about the Second Amendment. I don't, honestly, because number one, I have, and this is no offense to people who do, I have literally no interest in hunting whatsoever.

There will never be a time I will use my weapon. to shoot a deer. I might run one over with my car by mistake, but like I have no interest in that. It's just not my thing. It's not the culture I grew up in. It's not my, not my thing.

So what I do, but I do really care passionately about the Second Amendment for the reasons the Second Amendment exists. Protecting yourself, protecting yourself against a government that's out of control, and protecting my home from people

who might break into it, who threaten my family. Like those are all reasons. I mean, Sporting is another reason. Hunting is another reason, but there's side reasons. You want to shoot, shoot, you go skeet shooting. It's fun.

But that is not what the Second Amendment is designed for. No, it really isn't. But that's, I mean, to listen to these people, they have, they pretend, at least, not to know that that's not what it was designed for. And then if they ever mention what it was designed for, and that's protection, both, you know, for yourself and your family and against an out-of-control government. They act like that's absurd, too. Well, you can't, you don't have F-15s, you

don't have nuclear weapons, you can't buy a cannon. I mean, everything he says on the gun control issue. It's completely, completely wrong. I hate that point. It's so stupid. And I think it's effective to most people. Oh, well, you're not going to win a war.

It's a government. They have F-15s and nuclear weapons. Yeah, I guess, Yeah, they do. And, of course, this is designed to give you a picture from, like, a movie where, like, you're standing on your porch and the U.S. government rolls down your driveway and you have your AR-15, and they're bringing, like, missile launchers for some reason. And a tank. Right. Like, now, yes, in that scenario, you would lose. That is true.

However, I will say that, number one, yes, the government can win a war, I suppose, by nuking its own cities. That's typically not what it does, right? Right. And what they would need to do to root out the millions of guns in this country and take over and implement some sort of bizarre dictatorship would be to do what the U.S. military tries to do when they go into Afghanistan, for example, and have to go door to door against people who don't have weapons and still they struggle. Right. Like, it's freaking hard to do. If your population is armed to take over a country and go door to door, even if you have the most powerful military in the world is really. really hard. It's why people don't do it.

And that's why the first step in controlling your people is to remove the guns. Yep. Every time. Right. I mean, Nazi Germany did it. Of course. They've always done this because you don't want to go up against an armed

citizenry and that makes it so much easier for the government. It's why it's a joke in the Princess Bride. You never go into a land war in Asia but only slightly less known that that's why that lines in there. It's so well known because it's so freaking hard to do. It's really, really difficult to do.

And, you know, that's why we still have the Constitution from a couple hundred years ago. It's why... Even though it's old and dusty. It's old and dusty, but it's lasted a long time because the Second Amendment is there to defend it. And it's not about winning a war against the government. It's that the government never wants to launch that war because they know how it would go. Ever since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping out America's greatest heroes and their families. I want you to meet the Arno family.

The father, Jason Arnault, was a firefighter in Buffalo. He was sadly killed while protecting his community and fighting a warehouse fire. He leaves behind a wife and a young daughter. The Tunner Towers Foundation found out about this and they made some real improvements for the family. They stepped in. They paid off the mortgage for their home. They lifted a huge financial burden and made it so that the Arnos could remain in the place where they'd made so many. memories with their hero.

Please join the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in its mission to do good to support the families of America's greatest heroes. The families of first responders like Jason Arna, plus Gold Star families with young children, catastrophically injured service members, and homeless veterans. More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes to its programs. Donate 11 bucks a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2.org. It's T the number two, t.org.

Just one more thing on the gun situation. Of course, Hunter is on trial for the illegal gun ownership or filling out the forum, improper lying on the form. And it's fascinating to me that that's going on. As Biden has been, than trying to bring about the end of the Second Amendment all these years, lying about everything he possibly can, saying things like this. You're driving your automobile here, and you left in the parking lot, you left the key in the admission. And the kid came up and jumped in and stole it, and you got in a crash, you're liable civilly.

Why in God's name do people not have to lock up their firearms? Why is that not a requirement? All these mass murders, not this weekend, but have them because people have picked up kids that grab stuff off of counters. Right. How many times do we've seen that? Anyway, I don't want to. Anyway. I've started saying something completely false. Anyway, so I'll say anyway and just act like everyone understands it. Yep. That is his approach. It is. Yeah. That's a fun little corkey has. Yes. When he gets into an area where he either is saying something he doesn't, he shouldn't be saying, or something he knows is blatantly false. Right. and he knows it's going to be proven false?

And he can't finish the sentence anyway. Right. Or doesn't know where he's going. He doesn't know where he's going. Yeah. Yeah. Like the line, oh, all these mass shootings come from the people that are leaving their guns on the countertop. Yeah.

How many times do we heard that? People leaving their guns on the countertop. And one of the kids just takes them and goes and kills a bunch of people. If we had a nickel for every time that's happened, the countertop gun problem. Well, and if only for, you know, these murderers who go and kill everyone, if they just had to have their guns locked up, they wouldn't do it. Because they'd be locked so they couldn't kill. That's right.

And what if it was illegal to kill people? Then what would you do? You wouldn't be able to, right? That would actually, it's a great idea. If we just made the murder illegal. We wouldn't have to worry about the guns being locked up. We just tell people they're not allowed to kill people. We should have thought of that at the beginning.

I wish we would have. I mean, it's almost like it should have been in the first 10 rules we learned. Yeah. Just doubt, shall, not kill, kill, something like that. I don't have the wording down. I'm just saying that something like that would have been a great idea at some point. What if we kick it around and see what we can come up with? Probably going to take some time.

Yeah, probably will. That is a fascinating thing. I mean, there have been a couple of cases. There's a couple that I can think of. Where they picked things up off the counter? Not necessarily off the counter, but like there is an issue with. with taking parents' guns, right? Like that's the type of thing.

But a lot of times they are locked up. Like the kid figures out how to get them. And that's why so many of these gun laws are so stupid. Because even like the mental health issue, like if you're going to be like, oh, well, we're going to stop people with certain mental health issues from buying guns. It's like, okay, well, I understand why it kind of makes sense, logically. But also, like, they live a lot of times with other people. people who aren't, don't have those issues, right? Like, so you're going to prevent them because

they live? Like, does the mom of a disturbed kid, are they unable to buy firearms? They lose their constitutional rights too because their kid might do something terrible in the future. Now, I mean, look, locking up your guns in that, if you're in that situation, obviously a good idea. But there have been situations where, you know, kids have broken into safes. I mean, you know, they, that's what happens. You know, again, it's really hard to stop this from happening. Really hard. Really hard. It's a really hard problem to solve. You know what we could do is just make ammunition so expensive nobody can afford it.

That might be a good way to go. Or guns so expensive, you can't get it. Or we allow people to sue manufacturers, which they keep saying you can't do and you can. They keep saying it's the only industry that can't be sued. You're going to make that claim? The gun manufacturers are the only industry you cannot sue. Well, there's many lawsuits against gun manufacturers going on. right now. So that's going to be news to a lot of these

companies. It's not true. From every approach. You can sue them and other industries have similar protections. I mean, it's just dumb. It's like I was listening to, I was reading a story about a guy who's accused of being a serial killer. And he, it's in Long Island and they arrested him last year or so, I think. It's pretty recently. And the story was he was like,

leave he he was living in double life he was we had a family and everything and when they'd go away he'd go and pick up hookers and murder them and dump them by the beach wow um yeah a guy with family was doing this yeah and was doing it and they apparently had no idea even the even the investigators believe that they didn't know about it um eventually he dropped a uh pizza crust in a um trash can they picked up the pizza crush where he was to match the DNA, which is incredible how this stuff happens. Now, he had been a suspect, like some podcasts were accusing him of it, but like, it wasn't really known if he was, and that's how they wound up catching him.

Anyway, long story of that short, in the middle of that, one of the ways they were pointed to him is they, he had a first generation Chevrolet avalanche. I don't know if you remember the Chevrolet avalanche, but it was like this sort of in-between truck SUV thing that they tried for a while, very distinctive car. You know, it was a sort of a strange vehicle, and they didn't sell an incredible amount of them. They were able to figure out, okay, this guy had a Chevrolet. And as I was reading it, I was like, why can't you sue Chevrolet? Why not?

Was the car used in him? Yeah. To hide these bodies. Right. It was a tool he utilized to commit these crimes. To get to the crime, probably. To get to the crime, to pick up the victims, to transfer the bodies. all

it's and the reason that's dumb is the reason that it's dumb to sue gun gun manufacturers it's the same thing

it because you use a tool in a way it is not designed right and you might say well a god is designed to kill yes but it's not

designed to kill people uh who are victims of crimes it's designed to protect you to kill an attacker just like

a Chevrolet avalanche is not designed to transfer dead bodies and to hideing places. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. That's not one of the goals? I mean, we could look at their marketing materials, but I don't think so.

And it's like, the job of the Chevrolet avalanche is it's going to be utilized like the person who owns it wants to utilize it. If they want to use it to run down a parade route and run over people, that's not Chevrolet's fault, right? It would be insane to suggest you would, you would, uh, to sue the Chevrolet over the avalanche despite maybe for the look of it

it really wasn't in my view an attractive vehicle so maybe you'd just be like this is just too awful you guys shouldn't have made it maybe you can justify that lawsuit but not because a murderer used it to transfer bodies it's insane speaking of unattractive

is sort of a side issue here but speaking of unattractive new vehicles what do you think of the of the Tesla cyber truck I mean this. We had one in the neighborhood. Everybody in the neighborhood converged on. Fascinated by it.

Because they're just fascinated by this. It looks like a deformed Delorian to me. It is, I think, literally. I think they're so ugly. The ugliest vehicle ever produced. Yeah, I can't describe how much I hate it. And are fascinated by it. I am fascinated by it.

And everywhere it goes, people are drawn to it like it's a giant magnet. That is absolutely true. It's made out of things that would draw people. This is a bit of a side point, but like I think you're right. And I, again, I have mixed feelings about Elon Musk generally. Like some of the stuff he does I love. Some of the stuff he does, I don't love. The global warming stuff I'll never probably get over with him.

So I have my issues. But there's some stuff he does I love. I think he's a fascinating figure and an overall net positive for the country. Me too. By a significant margin. That being said, the cyber truck is. hideous. It is a hideous, hideous vehicle. And I, it's inexplicable to me. I don't know why. I can't believe. It's, that's why it's fascinating. It's inexplicable. It's like the most, it's the craziest

thing ever done by a company. It is. Yeah, it is. It's like, and I think I had heard that it was started by like a drawing of one of his kids, by one of his kids of like what a car should look like. I would believe that. I could believe it. I believe it completely, whether it's true or not. It can also cut your fingers off. you're not careful, which is maybe a problem. Yeah. Maybe an issue. And this fits totally with the, with the Musk profile.

I read a biography of his a little while ago. And like, he's one of these guys that just tries stuff. Like, and I think there's real positives to that. Like, a real, the Starlink's also crazy. It's a really cool entrepreneurial spirit. Yeah. But you got to applaud in America. But like, he'll just do stuff and it's like, okay, well, hey, by the way, we just

noticed that it's cutting off, it could cut off fingers. And like, it's not like something he would just. Stop. No. Right? Like, he just would keep going. People keep doing these tests where they put, like, carrots.

Yes. In the trunk as it's closing. It just slices them right. It just slices them right off. Yep. Doesn't stop. Doesn't back off. The safety features aren't there.

It's sharp-edged. I would have loved to have been in the initial meeting. Like, hey, what if we build the ugliest vehicle ever made? Okay. Yeah. Let's see if we can sell it. I think the book does describe the initial meeting. And it was not well received initially inside the company.

But people are. are so basically intimidated, I would say, by Musk and like, you better not be on his wrong side that, you know, people just go along with it. I mean, like, they, and there's so many talented people, they can do it. And look, Musk was right on a lot of this stuff. Like, it was also crazy to start an electric car company. Right. You know, and that, it worked. It was crazy to just say, I'm going to go to space. Like, I'm going to make a, I'm going to compete with NASA. Like, that was also crazy. Like, a lot of his ideas are crazy. If he misses on a few, hey, that's the cost of doing business.

Not a little sidetrack from where we were going to go, but we'll get to that point coming up here. All right, we have a lot of work to do in this country, as we've noted today. It seems like the battle is always uphill, especially when it comes to fighting against the left's constant efforts to destroy America from within. But hope persists, and, you know, one of the things you can do is patronize businesses who stand up for the same principles that you stand for.

I'll tell you, I have discovered a real problem, I think, in this country, and that's how the U.S. government, especially right now, under the cadaver and chief, how they treat small

businesses. Don't you have a small business, too? You've set up in LL.S. see. Yeah. We have a small business with the cookie business, which, by the way, if you want to get a cookie and you want to get that Father's Day box to your dad by Father's Day, you got to order by the 10th. So that's Monday. Monday, okay. Okay. Delicious cookies, really cool box. Get that for your dad. It's really, really good. And get on that, K-E-K-S-I-Kexe.com. Dove into the peanut butter crunch yesterday. But good. Good. That's so, so good. And the raspberry lemon thing. Yeah, raspberry lemonade was the one I had the other day. It was so good. But anyway, you know, we've had

this cookie business for what, I don't know, three or four years. And, you know, at the beginning, you just, you reinvest everything. It's like three to five years, they always say, and we're, we're doing the outside of that. We're going five years without really taking anything out of the business. We reinvest. And so it came as a shock to us last year when it became profitable, and taxes kicked in. Holy crap. Do they penalize small businesses? Now, small business is what drives this country. And they encourage us all the time to, you know, start a small business, to talk about small business, to frequent small businesses. But, man, do they try to put you out of business with the IRS the entire time?

I mean, even when you haven't realized the gains yet that you're maybe going to make during the course of the year, you haven't even made the money. It hasn't come into you, but you have to pay taxes on that anyway because you have to estimate. Because at the end of the year, if you don't, and it turns out you did make money, they penalize you an extra, 8%. 8%. So along the way, you've got to decide, okay, well, maybe we'll make this amount. So we're going to have to pay the IRS right now this amount in advance.

It is a crappy system. And they're just trying to suck the life out of us before we can even get anywhere. And it's just it's unconscionable. I don't know why we're penalizing businesses in this country the way we are. It's wrong. And you live in Texas. Yeah. Right.

Which is relatively friendly. So there's no state income tax. Yeah. This is all from the feds that they're pounding us like this. Yeah. And, you know, and then you've got a situation like the pandemic, which caused everybody to have to pay $20 an hour to 15-year-olds who have no experience in work in the labor industry. And then all of a sudden, the situation catches up to that. And then people are saying,

you know what, we can't do this anymore. We're going to have to let you go. And there are no $20 an hour businesses paying that kind of money anymore. And so a lot of these kids are out work again. The actual minimum wage is $0.00. No one has to pay you anything, right? That's the problem. And the federal minimum wage is still what, 725? Yeah.

But this is, I was mentioning, you know, Texas being at least somewhat friendly. Imagine if you were in California trying to do, you know, Kexi cookies. Isn't there a big taco chain there that just went out of, closing a lot of their outlets because of it? We should get into this and maybe in more detail tomorrow, but Rubio's Coastal Grill, which because I clicked on a news, clicked on

a new story, I've seen their tacos, and now all I want to do is go to Rubio's Coastal Grill. But I will say they had to close down 48 restaurants. And the reasons, you know, it's in California, of course. So the reason directly to the cost of doing business in California. They do have a mandatory $20 an hour on fast food. Just for fast food workers, which is fascinating. We will have to get into this in more detail tomorrow. See you then.
