Episode Date: January 13, 2025

The catastrophe in California is still going on. Filling in for Glenn, Pat and Stu discuss the wildfires plaguing California and question how such a leadership failure can happen in America.

Pat and Stu discuss Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg accusing the Biden administration of censorship during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience." Will TikTok "go dark" this weekend? The leader of Greenland said he is willing to negotiate a deal with President-elect Donald Trump.

much of this, so much of this, could have been prevented. You know, it could have been minimized. That's for sure. A lot of this could have been mitigated. It didn't have to sweep out of control like it has been. But when you go to fire hydrants and there's no water in them, it makes it really hard to put out of fire. Now, is that scientifically confirmed?

Is that consensus? I think they're looking into it. Okay. But initial research has shown that water does help in the event of a fire. So water would help the situation. We think that's accurate. Because they have those things. I thought the fire hydrants were there just to make sure you didn't park in a particular area.

And for somewhere for dogs to pee? Yes, exactly. Yeah. That used to be the case, but now they're saying, no, no, they can actually help fight fires. Wow. Yeah. It's weird. Wow.

They should have, if we knew that in advance, maybe we could have made sure they had water. Right. You know, but people, I mean, what are the odds of a fire occurring in California? You know, other, you know, one to one is probably what I would put them out. Like 100%. Oh, 100%. Yeah. Yeah.

But not, they're not 500%. It's just 100% chance. Yeah. Every year it's going to happen. And every year the Santa Ana winds are going to blow. Well, those are, of course, new because of climate change. They've never occurred before this year. They've always blown.

The Senna and a Wins have always been around. Really? Yeah. Is that why they have songs and movies about them? Yeah, that's why. Okay. Yeah. So they've been around for a long time.

Because you'd think. You'd think by watching the news that they were brand new. You'd think that this was a shocking development. There's never been fire and there's never been wind in California. I mean, Albert Hammond wrote a song about this a long time ago. It never rains in California. But, girl, don't they warn you? It pours.

Man, it pours. Wow. How deep can you go in that song? If I were to just quiz you right now, how... I could probably go pretty deep. You could go from the beginning all the way through the song? I mean, I wouldn't mind... I think the people of California are like, we've had a tough week.

It'd be nice to hear a little Albert Hammond now. Yeah. Through the vocal stylings of Pat Gray. Yeah. Or not. You know, they may not be thinking of us. Okay, okay. They don't need a second tragedy on top of the first one.

No, they do not. No. It is, I mean, did you mention? for him so much. What is it? 24. Yeah. 24.

That number is not staying at 24. No. That is going to go a lot higher. This is a, this is a, it's a catastrophe on the level of, of like, what I, you'd look at the United States of America and think it wouldn't be possible. You know, I felt that way about Katrina. Yeah. At the time. Yeah.

Like it didn't seem possible that that sort of chaos and destruction could happen in a country like America. Yeah. You know it can. You know, it's there. You know, the possibility's there. But you think we're not going to blow it so badly that the response to the fire is going to make it seemingly worse. Well, I heard you and Glenn talking last week about the fact that this reminded him of an Irwin Allen movie from the 1970s. You know, one of those desks.

Fire! Yeah. That's what it's like. It's, you know, it's a really bad Charlton Heston feature. And, you know, he's the fire chief. of Los Angeles and they're out of water and somehow the embers are really big and fat now and they're blowing all over the place. Like that's, again, like that's never happened before.

But it is, it's freakish like a, like one of those disaster movies. Yeah. That we used to see all the time. Except it's, it's playing out in real time right before our eyes. In the greatest nation that's ever existed, how is this possible? Yeah. You know, we've said that a lot lately. Yeah.

You know, I said that during COVID. How is this possible? I said that during Afghanistan, the withdrawal there. How is this possible that we could be involved in such a thing? Yeah. And here we are saying it again. And the answer that you've come up with is climate change? Is that safe to assume?

Seemingly didn't have much to do with what was going on in Afghanistan, though they have tried to blame it on climate change. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, climate change is mentioned in every news story. Every single one. And that's what Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are turning to because... Because it's the only way out. Like, it's the only thing they have. Like, it's, it's, if you think of like a fast and furious sequel.

And Vin Diesel's driving his car on a, on a bridge at 147 miles an hour. And as he comes over the hump of the bridge, he realizes the bridge in front of him is out. Right? Uh-huh. And luckily, there's this. One, like, incline, like someone left a board. That can launch him a certain distance over the... And as he's pulling up, his options are either to just go down into the canyon

or aim for that one board that's leaning up against the traffic cone that's going to bring him across the gulch. Yeah, I mean, surely, he can't hit that. And you know what? What? It's a terrible option, Pat. Yeah. But there's no other place to go. It's either die for sure or attempt to go over the gap in the bridge.

And so he goes and he aims for that one board and he hits it and he goes up in the air and he flips over like four times. And, you know, the girl he's with top falls off and as they're in the air in slow motion. That's convenient. It happens, you know. Yeah, it does. And so, you know, a halter top is not built for such things. No. You know, that's not what it's made for.

No. Anyway, so that, and then, of course, they land perfectly in their, you know, juiced up, you know, Dodge Challenger. And... With really good suspension, apparently. Really good suspension. It's completely fine. They drive off.

But that's kind of what they're trying to do here. Every other road ends in their own destruction. Every other excuse, every explanation for what has occurred here points back to Democrats and the way they've done their job, except climate change. Because that's the one they can blame on you in Ohio. Right. They can blame that on you driving around a minivan in Indiana. That one's your fault.

fault. Every other explanation for this is their fault. And they can't go to any one of those roads. Every single one of those roads leads back to them. So they have to go with climate change. There's no other way. That's it. They are absolutely screwed if you don't believe that a 0.9% Fahrenheit Celsius, excuse me, climate temperature increase over a century. If you don't believe that is responsible for these fires, it's them. It's their jobs. It's their reputation. It's their party that dies. So it better be climate change, and that's what they're going for. Yeah. It's just, will it work on the American people again? Will it work on Southern Californians right now? I think a lot of them are starting to wake up a bit. I hope so. You have to. If they don't, it's hopeless. When your house is sitting there in ashes, and that's what you come back to after,

you've evacuated and then gone back to see what happened, you can't be buying into the climate change garbage. Can you? I mean, it's just every single year, they have these fires in California. Every single year, it's not new to the 21st century. It wasn't new to the 20th century. It just, it happens all the time there. This happens to be in a more vulnerable area.

of Southern California than normal. And so it's burned down more structures than normal. But that's not climate change. That just happens to be where this fire began and then spread because of the wind. It has lots of fuel in that area. Obviously, houses are close together. Yeah. And it spreads pretty easily.

Particularly, Pat, I've noticed, it spreads pretty easily when you don't have water to fight it. Yeah. You know, I mean, when you can't do anything to stop it, fire just keeps going. going. It's like a perpetual motion machine. It just keeps going and going and going. And when you don't stop it, it just keeps going. That's what fire does. And apparently no Democrats in the entire state of California were aware of this fact.

Because they didn't prioritize, you know, having water to fight it. But like, you're right. You know, even if you take the climate, like the climate change argument seriously, which is hard to do, frankly, in this position. Like climate change, you know, it's just a catch-all for every single problem that they have. They just blame it on climate change. But even if you take it seriously, what you're talking about is these winds that have existed forever, are they a few percent worse?

Okay, let's just take that seriously. Okay, maybe they are. Is that the difference between this entire city burning down or not? No. Is it dry? Yeah, it's dry. Is it a little bit drier than normal? I mean, I don't think there's a ton of evidence to support that.

But, okay, it's a few percent dry. than it normally was 50 years ago. Is that the reason that the entire palisades burn to the ground? Like, no, of course not. No person could possibly believe such a thing. It's so inherently and obviously stupid that they just hope your emotion or distrust or hatred for the other side, hatred for Donald Trump, hatred for Republicans. They just hope that built-in foundational part of California life

is strong enough to absolve them from their own actions. Yeah. Right? That's it. That's all they have. That is it. And let's hope and pray it doesn't work this time. I mean, because it's going to happen again if they don't do something about it.

You know, if they don't change their policies, then this will keep happening. It'll happen every year at about this time. All right. We're going to play for you what. the L.A. Fire Chief had to say over the weekend. Pretty amazing. Coming up in one minute. I will say, too, Pat

asked for your prayers as we were going to, starting the show for Glenn. And there was a couple of different ways his health issue could have gone. One was a little bit more negative and one was a little more positive. And I don't know, I don't know if you're sitting in your car and you said some prayers right then because I just got

a text message that it went the good way. Oh, good. So a very good outcome here for Glenn, and we hope now to see him back tomorrow. So he'll tell you all about it, I'm sure. I'm sure. In more detail than you could possibly ever desire, he will tell you about it. Hopefully there's a hemorrhoid video coming out or something.

Who knows? Is that on the way? No, I don't think so. You didn't get that in the case. No, no. He certainly didn't send the video, so that's at least something positive. All right, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com.

Something you think about a lot as you get older is trust. Who are the people that you trust? Do you trust your California government? What about the businesses that you trust? This used to be kind of a handshake deal kind of country. I don't know if it still is. Could it be that again? You'd like to think so?

The Glenn Beck program. Glenn will be back tomorrow, it looks like. 877 B-E-C-K is the phone number. Have you seen this animation of the fire spreading? No. Let's take a look at that real quick. If you're watching on Blase TV, look at this. This incredible animation that shows the timeline of how this fire advanced through the communities of Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

Here it is January 7th. At 617, it was at 2,900 acres. And then on January 8, that explosion to 15,000. acres. And then the next day, 17,000 acres as it progressed into the mountains. And then on the 9th, 19,000 acres. And you can see how far it had gotten into Malibu. And then we come to yesterday at 20,000 acres. And you can see 20,000 and then to 21,000 acres. But you see how far across it spread. And all the way up to the 11th, which is today at 22, 660 acres. This is just information from 7.30 a.m. today.

Wow. I feel terrible for these people. I mean, video after video. My wife, I don't know if your wife's like this, but my wife is like, you know, lying in bed before she goes to sleep, just watching video after video of like really sad people coming back to their homes. And, you know, rediscovering their, you know, she was watching one with a, the dog was still alive.

Like some of them. The dog was in the house, but I guess got out. It stayed in the area. It came back to his house, which is totally burned down. and the dog like runs out. Oh, wow. I mean, like stuff like that. It's just stuff like that constantly.

And, you know, this is a very online, social media friendly community, right? Like a lot of people there. Like, they post all the time anyway. A lot of influencers live in this area. So there's just, obviously, celebrities. So you have that unending flow of content from the, from the area. And it just, it's so terrible. It is.

And like, you know, these people have more resources than others that have. gone through natural disasters and that's maybe a positive for at least the recovery. But geez, man, this is terrible. I don't care who you are. It is. You know, I feel real empathy. And it's not all celebrities. No.

You know, like there was this, there was a guy who ignored the evacuation order and stayed to try to save his house. And so he did. And he was saying that he inherited that house from his parents. He lived there since 1960. In 1960, that house was probably $15,000 or $20,000. You know, it might be worth $5 million now, but he doesn't have $5 million to rebuild. So he stayed put, ignored the evacuation order, took his garden hose, and put out all the fires anywhere near the area that started to flare up near his house. He saved two of his neighbor's homes and his own by just soaking them down when they sprang up.

And I guess he soaked himself down too, so that you wouldn't catch on fire. Soaked down the homes. You know, and it just shows you what could have happened if they had the manpower to get ahead of these flames and do these kinds of things. How did he know before the fire started that water would do anything to them? How was he? I guess he's like a scientist of some sort. Yeah. And he'd been doing some research into the physics of fire.

for the last several years. Wow. What a miracle. I know. Thank God. I know. He had thought of that. I mean, a garden hose,

because you do watch it as it spreads. You know, they start off really small. Like whatever hits a house and there's a little tiny thing. If you're there with a fire with your garden hose. You can put it out easily. Put it out easily. Of course, you know,

it's really, really dangerous to stay there. It is. And it was for him. But he said, based on his experience with previous fires, He at least knew something of what to do. For instance, that water may put out the flames.

That was one of the things he knew. It's incredible. It would have been great to know that beforehand. Yeah, it would have been pretty helpful, I think. But I don't know if this will make any difference to the officials in California. Will it make any difference to Gavin Newsom? Or will you just continue to chalk it up to global warming? 10.9 degrees Celsius, over a century?

Yeah. Because this will happen again. again and again and again if they don't do something about it. Yeah. And by the way, globally, we're not seeing any increase in the amount of acreage burned. So, I mean, if it's climate change, you'd think, now this is a really terrible event, but this is not going to, you know, make the global percentage of acreage burned any different, right? Like it's a small area when you think about the earth, right?

It's just where all these structures are. That's why it's, you know, these things burn in the middle of nowhere often and we just don't really notice them. And we had those Australia fires a few years ago. And what they found out it was actually a below average year. We had nonstop coverage about how terrible it was for Australia. At the end of the year, it was a below average year for the amount of acreage burn. Incredible. I mean, look, you know, this is, you'd think only the opposite if you actually looked at the news.

Because they try to tell you the opposite. it. And like, look, a climate change, you know, can I have a factor around the fringes? Maybe. But like, that's not the difference between, that might be the difference. Let's say it's the difference between a thousand homes burning and 998 homes burning. Now, if you're in those two homes, probably means a lot to you. But at the end of the day, that's not the cause here. You need to be able to be prepared to fight these things because they're going to happen, whether you think you can control the global temperature or not. These fires are coming. They're going to happen. You need to be prepared for them. And, Not managing the land, not having the water ready, sitting here and using your resources on DEI nonsense, and seeing how many lesbian firefighters you can hire is not a good process to make that happen. This is Glenn Beck. We're coming up on January 27th, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Now, it's been almost 80 years since the Nazi reign of terror over the Jews came to a crashing end and the world came to truly know once again the depths of evil. that we human beings are unfortunately capable of, but its effects are still felt all over the world to this day. And of course, the anti-Semitism, which drove it, is still very much alive and well.

That's one of the many reasons that we've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're providing food, shelter, and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, including those remaining Holocaust survivors. Will you please donate to them today? If you have the means, we'd appreciate it. they're helping provide food and water and medicine and other basic necessities to Jewish communities in a world that holds a lot of darkness for the Jewish people. You can be a part of the light shining out from the Christian world to our brothers and sisters. Give a gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org.

It's Pat and Stufer Glenn today, AAA 727BECK. We were foes yesterday, friends, today. But my NFL team played his NFL team, sort of. Packers were down to like no players. No, they had to have

some substitutes from Ashkosh Junior College JV team and that's who played the second half yesterday. I don't know they've ever seen a game like that. I don't either. Everybody was getting hurt on every play.

And they weren't even like, you know, because I do remember one or two games where there was like people trying to intentionally injure the other team where I remember that happening back in like the old Saints teams that happened with. Yeah. But, and actually I think an old Eagles team as well, of course.

But this one was like, a lot of them were just like friendly fire. Like it was like, you know, guys just rolling into their own teammates' ankles. Like it was just. No, it didn't seem like dirty play. It just seemed like it was. It just happened. And so the Packers lost their top three. Wide receivers, their offensive line.

That was a lot. It was a lot to deal with. I do feel for you in some way. But the Eagles wound up winning. 2210 and moving on. So who do they play next week? We don't know yet, right? Tonight's game, yeah.

Which is the, it's the Rams and the Vikings. Okay. Should be an interesting one in Philly next weekend. Do you believe the football season is almost over already? I know. Incredible how fast that went by. I will say, I did note that next Sunday, they're the early game, I think, 2.30 Eastern time.

Eagles are playing in Philly. And I did also just get the, approval or final okay that I'm going to be going up in covering the inauguration of President Trump next week, which is on Monday. Oh. And I noticed the Eagles, they're DC and Philly. Pretty close. Like I'm just going to sell a ride away.

And I was thinking, maybe I need to get up there, you know, early, you know, and just kind of make my way over to the Eagles, just because I'm since I'm right there. Plus, I will say, thinking about trying to take a plane into Washington, D.C. for this thing, I mean, it's going to be a catastrophe. Oh, yeah. I can't even imagine what the travel is going there. I'm already dreading it. But I'm excited. So it would make more sense to fly into Philadelphia, wouldn't it? People aren't going there. It's what, an hour, hour and a half away from D.C.? It doesn't matter what the details are on that, Pat, whatever it is. I will say it's going to be pretty exciting. We're going to be hosting coverage on Blaze TV.

The inauguration falls live in the third hour of this broadcast, the lead up to it. And then I think the inauguration happens immediately after that. We'll be on Blaze TV. Then hosting that and showing all that. At least this is what we're talking about. So I'm excited about it. Interesting. Yeah.

I'm excited to see it. And I've never been to one of those before. It'll be interesting to watch all that play out. You know, kind of an amazing piece of history. And a good one, too. I mean, we do have a lot of negative things going on right now. Yeah. I will be happy to see someone, really anyone in the White House,

because I don't think currently we have anyone. We did have Joe Biden for a time. I'm not sure when that ended. Maybe 2022, 2021. Right. Not exactly sure when he stopped becoming president. I think it ended about the time it began. I think that's when he was pretty well gone.

He certainly wasn't, couldn't have been president when the Afghanistan withdrawal happened. so sometime before that. So I don't know. He claims that went as well as it possibly could, though. Yeah, I know. It's interesting. It's interesting. I mean, nothing went wrong with this administration.

They were completely scandal-free. I don't know if you're aware of that, but completely scandal-free, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Completely scandal-free. I keep hearing that he's going to make a bunch of speeches this week, Joe Biden. Oh, you see? Yes, to cement his legacy. Oh, my gosh.

You know? And, hmm. Okay, you keep trying. Keep trying. I don't think you want that legacy cemented. I think you'd want it to be washed away. Yeah, you want people to forget. Yes.

You ever have a job, you know, I mean, a job, you ever have a job that you just leave off your resume? And now, thinking about this, you worked with Glenn Beck. So yes, of course, you wanted to leave certain jobs off your resume. I never worked. Who? Pat, who? No, that wasn't Glenn and Pat. That's a different person completely.

But, like, that's what you should do. if you're Joe Biden. Just what if you claim you weren't president? I mean, they might as well. They lie about everything else. Why not? And then we'll start getting think pieces like, why the right is seizing on Joe Biden's claim that he was not president.

I'm like, wait. I feel like he really, shouldn't we be seizing on that? Yeah. Yeah. They've been doing that with Elon Musk now because he's been talking about this huge scandal in, uh, was it Britain, uh, great Britain where they, with the abuse of, of young, uh, women.

by Pakistani immigrants and it's terrible. There's Germany. I can't remember of this. The story I thought up my head. It's seemingly all over the place. Anyway, they're like, ah, can you believe he's seizing on this? What's up with that?

Why does he care so much about kids being abused and molested? That's weird. What a weird interest to have? What's going on with Elon Musk? What does that say about him that he cares that children are being molested? Something bad. We're not going to say what it is, but you can put two and two together. Wait, I think we should all be concerned about that?

Concerned about that? Yeah, definitely. Let's shine a little light on that situation because up until now, nobody has. It's been going on for a while. I mean, there's like thousands of these rapes that have happened. And we haven't heard a thing about it until now. You know, if Musk doesn't talk about it, who is going to? Probably nobody.

Seems like accountability is important. Yeah. And in raising the possibility of, accountability is a worthwhile pursuit. Yes. Now, as far as the accountability on this Los Angeles wildfire, who will accept accountability for that? I think no one will.

That's basically the way this goes every single time, especially in California. We're just talking about football. Things are so bad, obviously, they had to move the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings game from Los Angeles to Arizona tonight, which is problematic, I guess. In the grand scheme of things, this is a smaller problem than a lot of people dealing with. But it's still an inconvenience and a weird thing for a lot of people who paid a lot of money to be there. And also the team having a home game, which they basically don't have.

Right. Right. It's a neutral field now. Yeah. So obviously football well down the list of concerns of this particular situation, but that is a massive thing. A concern. Yeah.

your team loses a home game. Maybe you've gone through a bunch of stuff here and you want to go see your team play. Yeah. And it's going to be like that one night of diversion from all the horror that going on in that area. I was kind of wondering, why is it because San Diego is not an NFL town anymore? They didn't move it there. It seems like San Diego would have been, I don't know, closer, more convenient. Yeah, seems like it would have been more sense to.

Yeah, where the Chargers used to play instead of moving it clear to Phoenix, Arizona. Yeah, or, you know, you could have gone to Oakland. or San Francisco or, you know, but, you know, but, yeah, let's keep it in the state. Right. But no, they did not do that. So, you know, I guess the facilities are, you know, nice there and ready to go. Yeah, and it's in an NFL city. So maybe that has something to do with it.

I don't know. Yeah. But apparently a lot of people are pissed off at millionaires who have hired private firefighters to come and guard and protect their home. This is amazing. about fires where I'm not sure where the anger comes from. If I had the means to do that, you better believe I would do that. I would obviously, if you're a multi, multi-millionaire, are you going to pay $2,000 an hour to have some private firefighters come and save your house?

Of course. That's worth maybe $10 or $20 million or $30 million. Who knows how much some of these homes are worth. But of course you'd do it, right? And just because not everybody can do it doesn't mean you shouldn't. Does it? Or am I mistaken on that? I guess you should only do what all Americans can do.

And that's what your house burned to the ground. Yeah. It's a nice picture of what the left really thinks about this stuff. Yeah. Because they don't want everyone to be better. They want everyone to be equal, even if that means a lot of people have to get worse, if their life has to get worse, right? Like they'd rather have those homes, those multimillion dollar homes,

burn to the ground like everybody else's, because that would be fair. Right? it would be fair to them to see those people get punished in the same way. Yeah. When in reality, what you would you like to do? And this happened with a lot of very wealthy people who brought in private firefighters. Not only do they save their house, but they saved a lot of houses around them. Neighboring houses.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, Caruso, who was the guy who almost became mayor of Los Angeles. Yeah. God, this one looked a lot different if he was. He wouldn't have been in Ghana when this started. I can promise you that. Right.

But he has the Palisades Mall is his property. And he brought in private firefighters. They were able to protect it and a bunch of homes. They saved it. And structures around the mall. They saved the whole area. Yeah. And it was a pretty big area.

Yeah. And what happens with these private firefighters is they have their own water tankers. And so they bring them in and they don't have to rely on the fire hydrants. They've got these tankers filled with water. And they saved the whole thing. Because when the embers start flaring up, you just put them. out like the homeowner did with his garden hose. These firefighters did the same thing for that outdoor mall.

And as you mentioned, the surrounding area saved that whole area. And there was some video taken of it, which we can't play because I don't have the rights to it. But of some people driving through the area showing the mall in pristine condition, mostly, although Caruso said there was some damage. But then they get to the end of the street and they show the, What happened to cross the street from the mall? Complete devastation. It's totally burned to ash.

Jeez. I mean, of course you're going to save your property if you can. Why would you begrudge somebody doing that? I don't begin to understand that. And places like the Associated Press are saying, you know, this event could increase inequality. Could it? Could it? And whoa, I saw that headline.

Yeah. I was too irritated to even read the article. What about it will increase? Well, think about it. Is that because my place is standing and yours isn't? Right. That's the inequality. I mean, that's terrible.

We don't want that to happen. We don't want that. Yeah. If your place burns down, all places should burn down. Is that, that's equal. That would be equal. That would be equal. Quality, Pat.

That's what we're searching for. We're searching for equality. Above all else. to heck with every other concept known to man. Let's just have equality. So if your house burns down, I got to let mine burn down, whether I have firefighters there or not. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. That's really good.

All right, we're talking about the inequality that this fire is now bringing. It could actually increase, we're finding out, the inequality in this country.

Yeah. And you might be wondering, well, how? Right. The California wildfires could be leaving deeper inequality in their wake. You might think that's not the right thing to focus on right now. But of course, you would be wrong. They give you some example. Samantha Santoro, who's 22, a first-generation college student at Cal Poly Pomona,

remembered being annoyed when the initial news coverage of the wildfires focus more on celebrities. She and her sister, who attends UC Berkeley, worry how their Mexican immigrant parents and working class neighbors who lost their homes will move forward. We don't have like, oh, I'll just go to my second home and stay there, she said. The landlord of their family's two-bedroom house, probably evil. Probably.

Well, you know, it could be. We don't know, for sure. And we'll have to find out the skin color in their genitals and who they're attracted to before we know if they're a villain in the story or not. But the landlord of the family's two-bedroom house with a pool, again, this is not exactly like, usually these sad stories aren't, you know, homes with pools. Right. That's not the way that this normally goes.

They had increased the $1,350 rent making it possible for the Santoro's to affordably raise their, or they had never increased the rent, excuse me. So they must be good guys. They were able to raise their daughters affordably. Now they're temporarily staying with a relative in Pasadena. The family has renters insurance, but not much else. I think it's hard to believe that you have nothing. Of course, this is.

These stories are really tragic and really horrible, no matter how much money you have. That's why this is annoying. You know, it's not about how much money the person who lost their home has. Now, yes, you can make it better. If you're a huge celebrity, you've got millions and millions of dollars. Yes, your situation's going to be better. By the way, this is why you work hard through life. It doesn't mean you're going to be rich.

But why do you try to get rich, Pat? Is it because you want 9,000 Ferraris? Look, 9,000 Ferraris, I'm sure is wonderful. However, the reason you actually do this is because when you have bad events like this, you're able to make it better. Yeah. I could stay at the Beverly Hills in. If you have that kind of money, then, you know, you can kind of weather a situation like this.

If your house burns down, you're staying at a nice hotel. It's kind of the point. It's why you go to work. It is the point. You know, you try to shield yourself from things you know that could happen that are negative. Now, it's not everybody can do it. And like, look, as we've gone through American history, America has provided more opportunities for people to do that than any place in history. And it is brought up the bottom to a place where they can survive these things better than anyone in history, in any country ever in global history.

So that's positive. But of course, it's shown as a negative because some people have really not. hotels and others are with their family in Pasadena. There's your inequality left in its wake. It's incredible. It's really incredible. AAA 727 BECK. More Pat and Stup for Glenn. Coming up. The sad and

ugly truth is that no one, not even President Trump and his incoming administration, can protect you and your family from every possible emergency situation that could arise in conservatives. I don't think you're looking for that. They want to take responsibility. It's our responsibility. Prepare is best that we can. When a

Crisis hits, food is almost the first casualty, it feels like. Everyone needs it as soon as things get scary. Panic buying kind of sets in. There's nothing on the shelves. You should always be prepared for the worst when hoping for the best. Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do. We still live in crazy times after all. And you and your family could need this help. My Patriot Supply is offering $50 off their four-week emergency food kit. It's got 2,000 calories per day for three whole. whole months, plenty to get you through even a prolonged emergency. All their food kits last up to 25 years in storage.

Check it out now, mypatriotsupply.com. We'll return tomorrow. Looks like Pat and Stew today. Lord Led on the Glennback program.

we got to get into this Mark Zuckerberg interview that was Joe Rogan wasn't it? Yeah. And what he had to say about censorship from the Biden administration.

Fascinating. We'll get into that in one minute. Well, we have so much work to do in this country to change the hearts and minds of the American people so that it's no longer just an accepted notion that unborn life is disposable. It's going to take years and years and years

and years, I'm sure, maybe even decades. but it is a battle that we have to engage in. Today, the abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions, and it's available pretty much 24-7. This is why the ministry of pre-born is so important. Pre-born has rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion. And every day, on average, they rescue 200 more

when a woman considering an abortion hears her baby's heartbeat and sees that baby on ultrasound, the baby's chance at life is doubled. Pre-born shares free heartbeats, and God's love for mother and child, but they do need your help to do this. For just $28, you know, cost of a dinner, you can sponsor an ultrasound

to introduce a mother to her baby for the first time. 100% of your donation will go toward saving babies. Can you help? Just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. It's pound 250, use the keyword baby to donate or you can go online as well, preborn.com slash Beck. Preborn.com slash Beck. It's sponsored by Prebore.

Okay, so Mark Zuckerberg talking about censorship from the Biden administration. Hmm, interesting. Here's what he had to say on Rogan's show. These people from the Biden administration would call up our team and like scream at them and curse. And it's like these documents are, it's all kind of out there. Did you record any of those phone calls? I don't, no, I don't think we were. But I think.

I want to listen. I mean, there are emails. The emails are published. It's all, it's all kind of out there. We said, no, we're not going to take down humor and satire. We're not going to take down things that are, that are true. And then at some point, I guess, I don't know, flipped a bit. I mean, Biden, when he was, he gave some statement at some point. I don't know if it was a press conference or to some journalist where he basically was like, these guys are killing people. And, and, and, I don't know, then like, all. all these different agencies and branches of government basically just like started investigating coming after our company.

It was brutal. It was brutal. Hmm. They're not going to take things down that are true. Hmm. The Hunter laptop comes to mind. You did take down things that were true. And you did squash conservatives and conservative sites and hampered traffic and really shut us down.

for what, four years? And now all of a sudden we get this Mia Copa? Okay. It's a little irritating to me. I mean, I believe that he... I think that's fair. I think he believes it now.

Yeah. But where were you four years ago, Mr. Perm? Where were you four years ago? Come on. Yes. I think that is entirely fair. I'm a bit torn on it overall because I, first of all, really want, I would love to have another Elon Musk on our side.

Yeah. So what I would be great. Yeah. That'd be great. And I don't know if this is legitimate from from him. It could very well be like he's just seeing the writing on the wall. He knows the next four years are going to be very Trump focused. And he better get back on board. Yeah. You could see that. It's probably the most likely part of this. Yes. That being said, first of all, on that, that's not necessarily bad. You know, one of the reasons, why you win elections is for things like this to happen. Yeah, sure. It's one of the reasons we organized and we all went out to vote and we did all that. I welcome it. I welcome it. It's because of this, right? Yeah. You want the pressure on these guys to be towards sanity instead of insanity.

Right. And where, like, I'm at the point now with Elon Musk that I think he's had a significant transition from where he was a while ago. Because I was just like with Zuckerberg here, I was very skeptical of the Elon Musk thing at the beginning. I don't know. This guy's been telling me, nonstop about global warming and how we have to build spaceships to avoid it for the last 10 years. Why am I going to believe that all of a sudden he's some big conservative or whatever? And I know there's splits within the conservative movement over a lot of things that Elon Musk supports. But generally speaking, I think what he's saying is real. I think he's had this transition. He really does believe a lot of these things.

And this is how it started with him. And maybe this is a start of it with Mark Zuckerberg. I hope so. I hope so. But like, if it's not, one of the reasons you go out there and you win elections is to change the tides. The tides during the Biden administration, particularly early, were pulling people toward woke nonsense, woke craziness. And all these companies were proudly touting their DEI initiatives. They sure were.

And now they're dropping them. Including Facebook. Facebook, you know, McDonald's, Walmart, like huge brands. Well, I think it's possible it's real was Zuckerberg on a change. I don't think it's possible that Walmart has had some big change. I don't think that's what's happened here. Walmart is just saying like, okay, this is getting doing more, doing us more harm than it is good. So let's switch.

McDonald's. There's like, why are we dealing with this? Right. Everyone told us this is going to make us look good. And now it's pissing off more people. than it's that it's helping us with. So let's change it. Like those are corporate decisions. And that's like the positive of winning an election and sending a message like that. On the other hand, it could be that Zuckerberg really is having some sort of transition, you know.

Which is, it'd be great. It would be the best case scenario, I think. Yeah, it'd be great. Great to have another person in that sort of powerful position who adopts and appreciates free speech. But in the meantime, it would just be nice if they would allow free speech on Facebook. Yeah. Even if it's not real, even if it's a transition only for convenience. for Facebook for the next four years, that's okay too. I'll take that too. If you just don't, you know, stop censoring, stop squashing conservative thought. And who decides, by the way, what's true and what's not?

Because there's some differing opinions on that. Really? Yeah. I haven't noticed that. Are there some people who are still saying that water will put up fires? There are. I hope they're suppressing that. Because that's crazy.

They should. Yeah. But I think that's true, Pat. And it's like, you know, you listen to the way Zuckerberg is talking. We can play some more of the clips if we want. But like he was talking about how we saw a real problem, which I think is real. At the beginning of this, I think there really was a problem that tech companies could have helped solve in some way.

Like I remember when the fake news term first started. It wasn't like, hey, people disagree on climate change. or hey, why aren't you saying that people can transition from one gender to the other with a series of magic words? It wasn't that. It was like someone would say, you know, look at this. This guy murdered 10 people last night and no one's doing anything. And then you look at him and be like, this person is, wait, wait, I think that's Robert Downey Jr. That's not even, what do you mean this?

Like, it was just completely fake news. People were just putting crazy stories out there that were just completely made up to, get clicks. Yeah. And it was something that was hurting people's online experience because they would be like, oh my gosh, I'm outraged. They retweet it. They'd repost it.

And it would just be like some account trying to make money on totally fake news stories. Just stuff they, like made up, not stuff that was politically disagreeable, just stuff that was not even political at all, just nonsense. And so they wanted to try to crack down on that. And like, they went into the direction of fact checkers. where Twitter slash X and Elon Musk went in the direction of community notes and community notes is quite clearly a better system

and it's been proven to be a better system and now Mark Zuckerberg who very recently was in such a blood brawl against Elon Musk that they were threatening to have a cage match against each other is admitting that Twitter got it right and they got it wrong. It's amazing isn't it? That had to be hard for him to do. Yeah, it probably was.

It probably was. And you're right. Your hats off to him for that. That's good. Now, we'll see. The proof's in the pudding, right back? He's saying these things. Like, now that he said these things, I've had several people reach out and say, like, I posted this and they took it down.

And I don't even think they've implemented any of these systems yet. So I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff is still happening. Yeah, probably. But we will see over the next year or two how loyal they are to this mission. And it just would have been nice if it would have happened four years ago. Yeah. You know, stand up to the government. You can't allow the government.

to tell you what to take off your website and whatnot to. Yeah. You know? I honestly, like the conversations with Zuckerberg, I listened to a decent amount of the Rogan one because I was curious to see how real this was. And you came away thinking it was pretty real. No, I wouldn't say that. I think it's possible it's real, is where I am.

All right. The part of me that bothers me and I think might be the same thing that's bothering you is there wasn't, it wasn't a mea culpa. It was an admission of what happened. I really screwed up for four years. Right. He didn't say that. Now, he did say Twitter handle it better, which is kind of a man called, I guess, sort of. But it wasn't like, we, wow, we, I'm really sorry for those people who lost their accounts.

Which would make it more legitimate. Yeah, it would feel. It was a much more of like, gosh, can you believe the government came after me? And they said they wanted to take down things that were true. And we said no. Well, that's not how I remember it. No. Because that's not how it happened.

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure at times they did say no. Yeah. But generally speaking, they went along with. with this stuff for a really long time. And it, Pat, destroyed people's businesses. Right.

I got to believe. Right. I mean, I, you know, I, we live in this sort of. I gave up on Facebook because of it. I mean, they just continued to, to squash more and more of what we had to say on Facebook. And so I just gave up eventually. Glenn's talked about this publicly, uh, that, uh, the reach of his Facebook page,

something down by something like 90 or 95 percent. Yeah. And it was that way for. all of us. Yeah. And they outwardly kind of told people, we want you to see your friend's wedding photos, not take in news content. Now, they're reversing that now, which I think, again, is good. I just don't know if it's a real commitment, because you have to have a real commitment. There are ugly things that happen when you embrace free speech. There are terrible things set on Twitter, and it's hard to defend them. Yeah. It's hard to say, actually, our policy is

to allow that terrible speech. Our policies to allow that terrible thing to be on the internet. But that's the right thing to allow. Yes. You have to allow a lot of things. The only kind of speech that you need to have protected is harmful or not necessarily harmful, but stuff people don't like. Yeah, it's easy to protect, you know, basic speech. Sunshine speech is easy. I mean, nobody has to, nobody takes offense to it. It's a stuff that's offensive that is difficult to protect, but that's what needs to be protected. I think, too, Facebook has really, they're no longer relevant the way they were. When they were allowing news content,

everyone, you know, people were talking about it. People were on it. They were sharing things. And I think because they decided, hey, let's make this all about,

you know, your friend's new job announcement, which again, might be important too. If he's following your friend's life, of course. But it's not, it doesn't happen enough in people's lives

for it to be, to make it a relevant place to go. So younger generations completely abandoned it in favor of TikTok and Snapchat. Like Myspace. Yeah. Thing thing.

It can happen to you. You know, Facebook was able, I mean, the reason why it has fully happened to meta generally is because they keep buying all the competition. Yeah, right. Like Instagram took over, but they own that and WhatsApp, but they own that. And that's smart, smart business, right? Like, you know, buying up your competitions, a smart part of business. A friend of mine who's kind of a tech nerd had a theory. And he was like, I think most likely it's just him, you know, coutowing to the Trump administration.

you know, seeing the current, seeing the, you know, reading the room. Mm-hmm. Which is smart to do as a business person. He's like, but I think there's a possibility that, you know, he's just kind of grown up. You know, he is only 40. And we've, he's been in our lives so long. Wow. That you kind of, it kind of feels like he's been around forever.

Yeah, it does. But he started this thing when he was in college. Well, well, he didn't start it. He stole it when he was in college. Yes. So he was young when he stole it. You're right. You're right.

He allegedly stole Facebook from the Winklevoss twins, who by the way have gone on to build a totally separate multi-billion dollar business of their own. Congratulations to them. Yeah. Pretty actually pretty impressive guys. They are. You know, they've been at the forefront of two separate revolutions. It's incredible. It's really incredible between crypto and previous Facebook.

But, you know, Zuckerberg obviously built this thing into a behemoth. But he built that, his argument was, and I think if there's something to this, maybe, that number one, this happened when he was very young. He was probably more likely to be pushed around by the government and pushed around by people around him telling him this is the way it should be, number one. And number two, he sees himself as sort of this free speech libertarian guy in his words unlike Rogan and these other states. which sounds absurd to us. Yeah, it does. But when you think about him being in this San Francisco tech bubble, he probably was the most libertarian guy around that he knew, or at least one of them.

Yeah. He probably is to the right of most of the people he's been around his entire life. Yeah. Which is not. Which is not where we are. Right. No. It's very left to us.

Yes. But center left, if that's what he is, is like a hardcore conservative in this community. Right. With the exception of a few people like Musk and Peter Thiel, there's some libertarians out there in conservatives, but it's very few and far between. And so the people who kind of like,

hey, I think free speech, you know, I want a platform for that, that may have been what he really saw himself as. And maybe as he's growing up and he's, you know, seeing adulthood for what it is and seeing the government for what it is and seeing these pressures as what they are and these nonsensical leftists, like maybe he's seeing the light a little bit. And that would be good.

Possible. Yeah, it's possible. It's possible to look at this in a positive way, right? You could. Yeah, you could. It's an option. It's out there. More coming up in one minute.

We don't usually take it, but it's out there. It's an option. All right, Glenn's been telling you for years that precious metals are the best way. He knows to build a hedge against economic chaos and insanity. And he, you know, he'll tell you that because he truly believes it. He's been doing it for a very long time in his own life. Well, here's an action you can kind of take today as you think as you think about that. Pick up the phone today and call Lear Capital. Their number is 800-957 gold. That's,

easy enough to remember, 800-957 gold. Ask them about investing in gold, which some people are saying is headed to $4,400 an ounce. Ask them about investing in silver, which is in short supply at the moment. These are not things that are going to go down in value, at least permanently. They're steadily rising. They've been doing very well. You need to look into this and understand the risks and rewards of this, but it's been it's quite a rewarding pursuit for a long time. You can have just some percentage of your portfolio in precious metals. It'll help you hedge all this insanity. But also, you know, you do your own homework.

Find out what's right for you and your family. Call Lear today at 800-957 gold for your free gold membership, gold ownership, gold ownership kit as well. And, you know, you get the special report. It's $4,400 gold ahead. When you call, ask how you can get up to $15,000 in bonus gold. with a qualifying purchase. Pretty impressive.

Check it out. 800-957 gold. 800-957 gold. 800-9-57 gold for Lear Capital. 10-second station ID. You know, just to give credit where credit it's due to Mark Zuckerberg. He did steal it, allegedly. From the Winklevoss twins.

Okay, at Harvard. Yes. But you know what? He had some real business acumen to, he, had I stolen it, I wouldn't have really known what to do with it. No? I don't think so. I really don't think so.

Pat book would have taken off. No, I don't think so. But he turned it into a multi-billion-dollar business. And there's something to that. You know, same with Bill Gates. Yeah. Bill Gates stole everything he ever had from Xerox and IBM and turned it into a multi-billion-dollar business. So they're, you know, they're good businessman.

I remember thinking when he was offered, I don't know, something like three or four billion dollars for Facebook. I remember that. We were on the air together, I think, talking about that. Yep. And I remember thinking this. he's insane. Yeah. Why wouldn't you take that?

He turned it down. And the reason he turned it down was he wanted to build what he wanted to build, which again, kind of plays into what he's talking about now. At the time, I thought it was insane because it could have been MySpace in six months and gone. Right. And be zero dollars. And this has happened to a lot of people since.

Yeah. But he bet on himself and it worked out. And to say he had nothing to do with it. Because I, you know, because I think the Winklevaws twins got kind of the shaft a little bit in the initial treatment of the Facebook story. they were kind of like dopey frat brothers who had nothing to you know they just had it stupid idea and Zuckerberg really made it. What was the name of the movie?

They kind of presented it that way. And I think that's become the reality. Yeah, the social network. Social network. Now that's based on a book called the, I think it's called the accidental billionaires by Ben and Mesrick. And what's interesting is he wrote another book later on called Bitcoin billionaires, I think it's called.

It's something like that. And it's about the Winklevoss's twins basically after the Facebook fiasco. Yeah. And what are they worth? 65 billion now or something? Something insane. It's incredible. They bought really, really low.

They saw the Bitcoin thing coming really, really early. And they built a huge company based on a Gemini, but also just bought a ton of Bitcoin. And we're trying to, you know, going around the world, when all the fallout from the Facebook thing was happening, they were doing Bitcoin stuff and no one was paying attention to it. It was like, you know, $10 at the time. They built, you know, helped build this thing. Saw it very, very early. And his book about the Winklewurst Twins, the Bitcoin one, is way more positive on them. Like, basically he kind of says, like, I saw them as sort of a joke in this first book.

And then I saw them and really understood what they were doing. And now I'm really, really impressed by them. Interesting. Yeah. I mean, it kind of turned me around on them. Because I kind of thought, oh, God, they like to row. I remember that from the movie. They were rowing all the time.

They were kind of goofy twins. Like, that's what you thought. And I get totally like the wrong read, I think, on them. It's not all about rowing, Pat. No, it wasn't all about rowing. You don't make a billion dollars rowing. There's very few professional rowers. No, that's true.

Who have maintained that kind of fortune. That's really true. Except in Norway. I think there's a lot of billionaire rowers in Norway. Filled with them. But not here. Norway's filled with them. This is Glenn Beck.

Whether you're one of the people who, you know, get into New Year's resolutions or not, you probably at least feel the urge at the beginning of the new year to make some plans. This year, maybe try to fill in the blank a little bit. If you're smart and of course you are, you're listening to this program, what are the things you plan to do to get out of, you know, debt this year? Maybe you're looking at your high interest. debts. Maybe you're looking at things like credit cards. For that, you really need to give American financing a call and see what your options are. They're working for you, you know, for you, really, and not the bank. Last year, their salary-based mortgage consultants helped customers save an average of $800 a month. Imagine giving yourself an $800 check every month, a $10,000 a year raise.

That's a heck of a way to start the new year. If you start today, you may be able to delay up to two mortgage payments, which is kind of nice in and of itself. itself, it really can be. So don't take my word forward. Do your own homework. Call American Financing 800-0-06-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to Americanfinancing.net.

Meantime, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. says that TikTok will likely go dark in the United States next weekend.

Wow. So they're going to shut it down? Is that what that means? Are they going to just turn off TikTok in the United States? First of all, I hope they do. I love that. Because it's just so annoying. I know it is.

But that's separate from what is reality. And that's not going to happen, right? No, I don't, that's a terrible way of describing it. Going dark sounds like, okay, it's just gone, right? It like disappears from your phone or your iPad. Yeah. Like I think that's the impression I would have of it. Right?

Like if you told me that, I would think I'm going to look down at my phone, which, by the way, it's going to look exactly the same as it does now, which is without the TikTok app. Yeah. But in theory, you'd look down at your phone if you had TikTok and you'd look down and it and it would not be there. Or you'd click on it and it would not operate. It would just be a blank screen, right? That's what I would take from Kelly's description. That's what it sounds like. of this. That's not at all what's going to happen. Now, if it goes through, again, this is the law.

You can still see some more challenges popping up, you know, shockingly, and probably will. The Chinese Communist Party does not necessarily want to give up control of all the minds of our children. They were supposed to have to sell it to an American, right? And that American would have control over all our children's minds. Right, which is so much better. So much better. Because surely China can't find one American who would buy it. And then. and just agree with them. Not out of 339 million people. No, no way.

Can they find someone? Because it's funny, we're finding, we're electing people to be president of the United States that are super friendly with China, as we did in 2020. Well, if they were giving you $10 million, you'd be pretty friendly toward them. Oh, my gosh. I would just sell this country out of us. Oh, are you kidding me? $10 million. $20.

Just sell this country right down the river to the Chinese Communist Party. It's funny, a lot of parents are doing it for free. Yeah. They're just like, hey, take my child's brain. Why don't you manage their thoughts and aspirations instead of me? I don't think TikTok is a good thing. I don't think it is the type of thing that is going to benefits the country at all. I wish it was never invented.

I can't believe that how many homes it's in, right? Like I can't. I can't believe it. Because it's what? 350 million subscribers or something like that? It's massive. It's huge. If it's not the big, it's right up there is that one of the big.

biggest apps, and especially for younger kids who are on it all the time. And just, I, and honestly, like, there is a real, um, national security risk with letting the Chinese government, um, run your kids' lives. That's not necessarily a good policy. One, we might want to rethink, um, going forward. But secondarily, it's just so terrible for their attention spans. It's so terrible for their brain. It's just brain rot. It's just not, I mean, that's not to say there's nothing good on it. Like, you know, there are occasionally things. You know, I see them played from time to time on other social media platforms.

Like, I don't know, good recipes or, I mean, there's people that do productive things with it. I'm always looking for a good recipe, too. I guess I should probably, I should probably subscribe and download the app. You're a big recipe guy. Big recipe guy. Huge. You're chef Pat. I love me.

A good recipe. Yeah. You're always in that kitchen after the show, just baking up, you know, a nice Bisk. Yep. Or maybe a lot of times. A gumbo of sorts. New recipe for pheasant under glass.

I'm always on the lookout. It's weird. Always. A lot of people are going in there like microwaving cheeseburgers and you're like, no, uh-uh. You go for the whole thing. Yeah. So, I mean, but you know, people like, they have stuff like, you know, interior design

or like life hacks. I mean, there's stuff that's a value on it. But of course, I can find that anywhere. You can find that. Instagram. Every other freaking social media. As you point out with Mark Zuckerberg, who allegedly stole Facebook at the beginning. He's also allegedly stole Snapchat with re uh, he sold X with threads. He allegedly

stole, uh, you know, TikTok with reels. Oh, wow. Yeah. This stuff is available and 50 other things not controlled by the, by the communist party of China. Right. So, but taking all that out for a second, what's actually going to happen with TikTok. Basically what they're going to do is it's not going to disappear from your phone. It's not going to go, it's not going to stop working. It is basically, the way the law is written is they, the app stores can no longer offer it as a new, as an app. So no new people could get on it in the app store. Now, my understanding is you could probably just go to the website. I don't know how they're stopping that, but you can't go to the app store, which is, of course, how most people use TikTok. So you can't go to the app store and download it as a new app once

this goes through, if it goes through. And secondarily, there won't be any more, there won't be any updates from TikTok. So if Apple releases a new iOS, right, and they need new requirements in there, your TikTok app might not work anymore, like the way it's supposed to. If you download the new, the update from Apple. Yeah, like once you get the new software, it's not going to work as well. Now, you might be able to avoid that for a while. If you remember Flappy Bird, remember this story from years ago, Flappy Bird?

It was a game that came out, a super simple game where you just have to go in between pipes, your bird would have to, and you'd keep tapping it in the screen and your bird would kind of go up. You have to go in between these pipes. It was a really stupid game. It was very, very hard, very difficult.

And it was created by some guy, I don't know, in some place that I never want to visit. And he wanted to do it, and people got really addicted to it and became super popular. It went to like the top of the charts. And he decided, in the middle of the viral,

craziness that he thought it was becoming a bad influence on people. People were playing it too much and he decided he didn't want it. So he took it down, just on his own, took it down from the App Store. And so if you had it on your phone already, you could keep playing it for as long as you wanted until until their updates made it irrelevant or something. But it was still there. If you deleted it, you couldn't redownload it though. And that would be the same with TikTok. If you delete the thing, it's not, you're not going to be able to redownload it if all this stuff happens, which which it may not. It may not.

They may find some last minute legal reprieve. They may, you know, they've gone through a lot of, a lot of their options, though. It does seem like this is going to happen. And, you know, I don't know. Look, fewer people being on this is good for America. In every way imaginable. And it might be bad for certain influencers. And I do think that is, that really sucks.

Like, if you, if you built a business. You know, you built a business on 10 million followers on TikTok. Yeah. You probably have been smart enough to go over to Instagram and probably have built a good business over there or wherever else to shield yourself, but maybe not. And, you know, if you're making all of your money from TikTok, this is pretty rough on you. And I don't generally like the idea of the government coming in and banning things after people do business. But this is a little bit different. I do think the national security risks are pretty high on this one.

Yeah. And it's coming from the CCP. That's an issue. That's a problem. And there's all sorts of evidence that they are looking at this, that they are influencing. what kind of content comes to us. Like, they are intention. Like, you look at the stuff that comes,

first of all, they don't let TikTok into China. It tells you kind of a little bit. TikTok, you cannot get it in China. Yeah, that's amazing. Because they know how bad it is for people. They know how terrible it is for a society. They're poisoning us instead. And so that's a terrible idea.

But it's not going away. Again, Reels is doing the exact same thing. You know, the hope is that with an American force behind it or an American mindset behind it, at least they're not intentionally ceding chaos. At least they're not intentionally trying to put harmful things into the American population, which I do think China is actively doing. I think that's actually happening. Yeah.

I think there's plenty of evidence to back that up. also how good will it be for America if we take over Greenland? I think it'd be really good. I'm not sure we should just do it. No? The president to be, the president-elect didn't rule out military intervention. I think that's just part of his negotiation process. I don't think we would actually invade Greenland and take it over militarily.

But I do think he's serious about trying to acquire it from the Dutch. I think that's real. If it was possible, he would do it. Yeah. And Denmark is saying now, they're apparently open to discussing a more prominent role for the U.S. They say they don't want to sell it outright to us, but they're willing to talk about sharing it, which I think is pretty interesting. They're trying to avoid a public dispute with the incoming Trump administration. and they've sent messages to Trump officials offering a discussion on a new partnership regarding Greenland's future.

That's interesting. Yeah. It's not interesting. This is probably really what Trump is going for. He probably doesn't think he can buy it outright, but wants to get a stronger foothold there. He doesn't want China to get a stronger foothold there. Yeah. And is negotiating.

This is, you know, this is when he does it, whether you like it or not. I will say this. There's a, you know, just that he's able to get people talking. And this is the most fascinating thing about Trump. It's just how he can come up with this idea that no one's talking about and wrestle the entire attention to the United States toward it. It's like incredible. Right.

The New York Times even wrote a piece. The headline was how much would buying Greenland cost, which is a great one. Now, I asked, I did this experiment with one of the AI services and asked it how much would it Greenland cost. And it came up with something like, it was like, it could be anywhere from 50 billion to one trillion. And Glenn's like a trillion. I do that in a second. Let's do it. We spend a trillion dollars on nothing all the time.

Let's go out and there and get Greenland. No, Greenland's like as big, even, it's like as big as like the eastern seaboard of the United States. It's gigantic. Really big. It looks bigger than it actually is on the map. But it's big. But it is still really, really big, even when you look at the proper perspective. And it's got a lot of precious minerals.

Yep. That has a lot of stuff there that would be fun to have. The strategic positioning is really important. However, the New York Times asked an expert David Barker. He's a real estate developer, former economist at the New York Fed. How much should it cost? He had at one point had talked about, he was, I guess, famous previously back in 2009. He argued that the American purchase of Alaska in 1867 for less than two cents per acre

was a bad deal from a purely financial investment perspective. You think? Yeah. That's fascinating. I don't know. I think it was a good buy. I feel like two cents an acre was the right price. But he says a back of the napkin math for value in Greenland, which he bases on the purchase of the Virgin Islands. So basically kind of like projecting that of the future, looking at the changes of GDP, going through all of this. He has the whole, they have the whole analysis in here.

But bottom line at the end of it comes out between 12.5 billion and 77 billion. Oh, come on. I'd pull the trigger on that in a week. Immediately. I might see if I can get a mortgage for that. Yeah. Just personally, let's see. Let's see what.

Can we get American financing on the phone? See if they'll give us $12.5 billion between Pat's due and Glenn. Maybe we can pull this thing off. I don't know. Probably be a high rate. I mean, you can't pass that up. There's no, first of all, no way would they take $12 billion. No.

Imagine that. They're like, yeah, $12 billion. Let's say it's $100 billion. Let's say it's $500 billion. Yes. Wouldn't that be worth it? It would be worth it. And Denmark would really.

would really benefit from $500 billion. I don't know what their GDP is, but it can't be too much more than that. Do you know the number off the top of your head how much money we've given Ukraine? I don't know it off the top of my head, but it's a lot. According to some sources is like $250 billion. I mean, that's like several agreements.

Yeah. You have the high number of $77 billion. I mean, I am all in at that price. And I think like, you know, you kind of look at it like a baseball free agent. Right now, my America's team, the Toronto Blue Jays are trying to sign, uh, sign, uh, my, my, my, my, my son's favorite player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a long-term contract. And like, they, you know, they negotiate, like, I think the Blue Jays have offered $340 million for, and, uh, and he wants 400, 50, I think it's 10 years. And he wants to 400 and 50. And it's like, guys, nobody wants to come to your team. You live in Canada. Okay. No one wants to freaking deal with customs for every home trip. No one wants to go up. Uh, no one wants to go up. there and pay Trudeau's tax rate. Right.

What you need to do to get a player of his caliber is pay a premium. If he wants $450 million, call him tomorrow and tell him you have $451 million and he's, be ready to sign it right now. Same thing with this. Same thing with Greenland. Is there a possibility of just blowing them away with how much money we offer? If they really only want $77 billion, offer them a trillion, see if they'll take it. Yeah, but start a little lower.

But maybe start $500 billion. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Why not? I think that would be a worthwhile purchase for the United States. At least it would be something. We're just blowing. We're taking our money right now and making it explode in Russia. Yep. I mean, at least we get something serious out of it. AAA 900 or AAA 727 BECK more coming up.

We get easily. Here. Here's a year's a year's gross domestic product for you. Yeah. For Greenland. I'm looking at it. The U.S. GDP is 27.36 trillion.

I mean, is there anything we wouldn't sell for 27.36 trillion? I don't think so. Maybe not Texas. Maybe you don't sell California or Texas for that. Well, California. I mean, probably something inside the contiguous United States. But I'd sell it Alaska in a second for that. Take it.

For 27 trillion? You want Guam? We'll throw in the Virgin Islands. What do you want? Yes. What can we? What do you need for $27.36 trillion? I'm in.

You could almost pay off the debt for that. Yeah, I mean, that would be massive. That would be awesome. Imagine what Denmark, I mean, you've got to be tempting for $404 billion. Seriously, I would think it would be. And like maybe get keep a percentage of like mineral rights or something. Like so you get an ongoing revenue. They should totally sell us this.

Well, it's going on. Why aren't they doing it? Denmark's stupid for not doing it. The Glen Beck. Isn't it, though? Welcome to it. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn today. Triple 8-7-27-B-E-C-K.

Now, he could have done that. Well, yeah, but what? He couldn't have because he had to leave. They told him he had to leave. Nancy Pelosi said, you can't stay anymore. Oh. Because we don't want you to be the candidate. So then he as the most powerful person in the world needed to fold to her demands.

Right. Right. Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? No. Not really. Frankly, I don't believe he would have won. I think he would have lost by more than Kamala did. But he could have stayed in the race if he really thought he had a great chance to win.

I tend to think that's true. I think she probably did do better than he would have done. However, I will say, what a lot. I mean, I would say it would be a lifetime of regret, though there's, you know, unfortunately for Joe at his age, maybe not all that much time to regret it. That being said, you know, he won the primary, Pat. Yeah.

I don't know if people remember this. At least 14 million people voted for him. That was 14 million people more than voted for Kamala Harris. So that seems to be somewhat significant. Yeah. He won't, I mean, think about this. His entire life, this is why I was relatively convinced. even at the heights of these pressures that he was like not going to, at the end of the day, he's not going to give this up.

He ran for Senate when he was younger than the allowed age, his first run. Right. He had to turn, was it 30? Had to turn 30 so that he could be allowed into the Senate after he was elected. After the election. Right. He is wanted. His birthday is November 20th.

Obviously the election was held before that. Right. And then that was 1972 from getting my years right. It's been a while. But I think it was 1972. I think it was. Then just 16 years later, which again is less than three terms, he's already running for president. Like that's how fast he went.

Now that's not Barack Obama fast, but that's fast. He was, you know, not an old gentleman running for president in 1988, then had that campaign blow up over the censor, the plagiarism scandal. Yeah. Then waited another 20 years, stayed in the Senate, that entire time. waited another 20 years, ran again, again was embarrassed. And somehow, Barack Obama resurrected his political career and gave him the vice presidency, largely because, in Barack Obama's own words, and widely reported, because he was white. We're going to say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance.

Not to have a gross moon in honor, to play to golf, or to be an pro of the crypto. No, no more. In any case, you have always done for the apply Negoti-tit-T-T-T-T-T-T-T, with your instinct of negotiation. With the support 24-hour-per-hour-hour,

no amount of minimum, nor fray-mensual. You're made for negotiate, and the appellee-nogist-tit-T-D is made for you aid. Telecharge it right now. And he didn't think that the American people

could accept to exotics, was the quote, exotics on the ticket. They couldn't handle it. They had to have at least one white person on there. And they needed someone who was white and old, is what he wanted. And someone who was

apparently a racist who had said things like this. I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African America. Yeah. Who was articulate and bright and clean, nice-looking guy.

I mean, that's a storybook. He actually took a shower for time to time this guy. Really? Actually took a shower. Can you imagine? That's a storybook, man. That's a story book.

It's a story book. It's a story book. It's basically. It doesn't happen. It's a fairy tale, essentially. Yeah, it's right off a novel. You know, you just, it's incredible. We forget sometimes that that was 2008.

How was that said? I don't know. How was something like that said? I don't know. And he survived. And he survived it. And that guy, he was saying it about. I mean, this might know, not I'm thinking about it.

maybe this is a requirement of becoming the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee because the same thing happened with Kamala. Kamala called Biden racist and then she got the gig. Maybe this is what you're supposed to do. You have to call the top of the ticket racist. And then they feel so bad about it that they have to come back to you and say, well, you know, why don't you join me? This is like the ultimate thing.

Join me because it proves that I can get those racist votes. And that's really what Barack Obama was doing with Biden was he believed the American people were racist. Yeah. This is the, if you go back to his comments on the, the Pennsylvania radio station, you know,

people clinging to their gods and their guns. The, the people clinging to, you know, the, I can't remember the word he used, but the hate, it was basically the dislike for people

who didn't look like them. That's how he saw the people of America. It's going to be hard enough for them to get over a name like Barack Obama, a weird name, a funny name, as he called it. And someone with dark skin,

to elect them, The only way they'll do it is if you have a really boring old white guy on the ticket. And that's why Joe Biden got the gig in the first place. His career is resurrected. Then again, he has an opportunity in 2016 to run against Donald Trump. A guy he thinks he can absolutely, he doesn't know it's Trump at the time when he makes the decision to not run. But he believes he can beat anybody in that Republican field. He has the death of his son he's dealing with.

And Barack Obama comes to him and tells him, Joey, don't do it. And he doesn't do it. Hillary Clinton runs and loses to Trump. So he sees this as a major mistake in his life of not running. He should have done it. Comes back in 2020, runs is absolutely toast in that campaign. He, what do you finish? Like seventh in New Hampshire?

I mean, he was way down the list. I don't remember exactly what it was, but he was a disaster in both. James Clyburn saved him. Yeah, Clyburn saved him in South Carolina after he had lost all the previous opportunities. He then turns it all around. And who knows what would have happened if COVID didn't happen? Because basically they just kind of ended the campaign.

You know, Sanders, who obviously kept challenging Clinton forever, basically gave up because they couldn't really have elections at that time. This is like peak lockdown period. So they stopped the campaign. He gets the presidency. He gets in there. He has four years. He wins the primary to run again.

And then they take it away from him. I still care. I still this day, I can't believe he gave it up. Yeah. Why would he live? Why would you care what Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama say about your presidency? Who cares what they say?

Just stick with it. Unless they're really the ones in charge. I guess that's the truth, right? I guess. At some level, because it made no sense for him to give it up. It didn't. No,

it didn't. Something he wanted his entire life and had. And then he won the primary. And then he gave up the presidency. Really, for no reason. because, you know, at the end of the day, yes, he would have lost, but so did she. And maybe he would have lost worse. But I think in your own mind, it's hard to convince yourself of that, right?

I think in your own mind you're probably like, I can do this. I beat this guy last time. Yeah. You know, I think that's in your head. He had an interesting answer to the question, though, would you have, what was the, it was something like, would you have survived the entire four years? It was like, are you going to live? Are you going to be alive the whole time?

Who knows was his answer to him? Yeah. Not confident. knows. Yeah. So who knows? Who knows? And maybe that, maybe that figured into his decision. I don't think so. He had already won the primary patent. Yeah. Yeah. He'd already come. He already made the decision that he was going to, he was going to be there for another four years. And like, and like we can look at this world the way it is now where the media turned on him. They pressured him. They tried to get him out because they thought he had no chance of winning, which is probably true.

and they thought Kamala did have a chance of winning, which is actually arguably true too. I mean, you know, she was in a position where she was leading in the polls at one point. It was a close election. I mean, we look back at it and we think, oh, there was seven swing states and Trump won them all, therefore it was a blowout.

But really, I mean, you know, she needed to win three blue wall states, which she didn't win. The biggest blowout of those three states was two points. So, I mean, this is, again, Trump needed to win one of those states. The biggest blowout was two points. It was not that big of a margin.

So at the end of the day, you think he's thinking he could have won that. And I do think if he had stayed, the media would have figured out a way to say, you know what? Actually, maybe he is sharper than we ever thought. They would have come back around. It would have been absurd. And I don't think the American people would have bought it. But they would have come up with arguments as to why, yes, you should elect this person we were telling you was completely incompetent. three weeks ago. They would have done it.

Yeah. They would have turned around and they would have figured out ways to support him. Just based on their Trump hatred, that would have happened. Yep. They would have just lied. Just like they were lying in every day up until that debate, they would have switched back and they would have found suddenly some doctor who says, actually, what we've discovered is he's, the reason why he seems to stumble is because he's so much smarter than everyone else. He's got nine thoughts going on at the same time. He's solved. He told you he's going to cure cancer, he only needs one more term to do that. By the way, has Joe Biden cured cancer.com?

Has Joe Biden cured? Well, I'm sure by now he has, right? Because he's only got a week left. com, I'm nervous. It's one week from today. He's out of office, so he's got this week left. Oh, God, I bet news. Oh, no.

Has Joe Biden cured cancer.com? The answer? No. Cancer still exists as of Monday, January 13th. That's terrible news. He's only got a week. I hope he's got some. He does have some speeches.

scheduled for this week. Yeah. Okay. So we're going to announce the new cure. Maybe one of them is announcing the new cure. That would be nice. You know, he should have done that before the election, because I think he would have helped. He would have won. If he cured cancer, I may have voted for him had he cured cancer. Yeah. That would be quite the accomplishment. Yeah. That's a big thing. Yeah. That's a big accomplishment. All right, AAA 727. Beck, more coming up in one minute. All right.

Station ID. You hear that eagle noise. Uh-huh. Eagle noise in there? Yeah. Yeah. Just a reminder that the Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers yesterday.

That's just your reminder. Thanks for that reminder. You're welcome. Really important. Yeah, well, as a Packers fan, I want to make sure. And now you. And now you've been reminded.

Now I've been reminded. Each time you hear that, that soaring eagle, make a little, a little noise here on the program. You can be reminded of that result. I've already made the shift in my mind. I'm now, I'm now rooting for the Buffalo Bills. Oh, really? And, uh, the Buffalo Bills. I think I'd like to see the Bills win.

I mean, it would be nice for them to get one. You know, it'd be nice. It would be nice for them to get one. I love the Buffalo fans. They're kind of awesome. They will power through anything. Again, if it's not the Eagles, I think I'm with you on that. I'm trying to think off the top of my head if that's true.

And certainly don't want the commanders to win. Don't want the Rams. The Vikings are another one who are in that same sort of boat. They've never had one. They've been there. But they've never won. So that's tough. Of course, the bills have been there too.

No, wait a minute. The Texans have never been there. It's got to be the lions, I think, for me. Really? Oh, okay. I got to say, you know, the lions have never even been there. Yes, that's true. And neither have the Texans.

Yeah, and Texans, of course, are new-ish. However, that's not a surprise. Houston's franchise has never been to the Super Bowl. Oilers or Texans. Never been. So I guess a lot of teams here, this is crazy. The Eagles are the veterans. I felt like they never won a Super Bowl forever.

Now they've got one. Yeah. And this year, you're right. Gosh. So the one I think, now other than Glenn, who's normally sitting in your chair, Pat, the Chiefs, if you're not a Chiefs fan, it's kind of tough to I mean they've been so good

I don't think I want that happening again I can't see that And why, I mean Glenn wants the Chiefs? He's become a Chiefs fan Is that because of Andy Reid? I think it's Andy Reid mainly You know and I will say like For a while it was just Glenn

Sort of like Likeing Andy Reid generally And wanting to torture me Because they beat the Eagles Right There was some of that going on I think he's actually Kind of turned into a football fan a little

But he actually watches football now No It's weird. He brings up points and they're like coherent. No. Yeah. It's weird, man. That is weird.

Yeah, you should have him on to just talk football one morning. He's supposed to be back tomorrow. We hope he's recovering from something. But you should have him on one morning. Just talk, just talk sports. I will say it's not going to be the most in-depth football conversation you've ever had. I'm sure. But like, he'll make observations that you can tell what he's talking about now.

Seriously? Yeah. You're like, oh, yeah, I saw that. I saw that. Like, you use the right term for that particular play. Like it's... No way. Yeah.

Okay. I'm going to have to hear it to believe it. It's getting better. I'm not going to say he's mastered it, but it's getting a lot better. Okay. Impressive. All right. So what do you think of the daylight savings time becoming permanent?

So we never switch back to standard time. What I would prefer is standard time and never switch to daylight saving time. Why? But I take either one of them. I just prefer standard time. because then you don't have, it doesn't stay light during the summer until like 10 o'clock in the north

and 9 o'clock in the south. Yeah, I will say as a parent, I noticed that, I noticed that difference because your kid doesn't want to go to bed but it's bright light outside. Right? They're like, why am I going to bed? And you're like, okay, you're six.

You need to go to bed. During the summer, when I'm still working, I have to go to bed when it's light, you know, because I get up at three in the morning. So it's still very light outside when I go to bed. That's got to be hell. Three o'clock in the morning you get up? Uh-huh. Good.

I mean, I know your show starts. Packray Unleashed, by the way, on Blaze TV. You should check that out and watch it, subscribe to the podcast. But you don't have to hear the podcast, you don't have to get up at three in the morning. You just listen to it when you want to listen to it. Right. Yes. You unfortunately have to get up that early to put it all together.

Right. I don't have that option. So, yes. 3 o'clock is really early. It's early. Yeah, it's the middle of the night. I think people would understand if you just, you woke up about half hour before the show. You know, you wake up a half hour before the show, run right in, just start talking.

You know, I think people would understand. They don't want you getting up at 3, Pat. That's crazy. It is. It is crazy. Maybe I'll try that. Yeah, see what they say. At least run it by them.

Can you tell the difference that I just got here? I didn't, I don't know you. As opposed to three hours ago? I forgot to prep any news stories. for the show today. But so what? So what do you think of the daylight saving time going away? And just having one time and we don't switch back and forth anymore. It's one of those things that I'm in favor of happening whether it has positive results or not.

Me too. Because I just can't get over the bizarre idea that we just change the time. I know. It's inexplicable. It's weird. Whoa, yeah, we want more hours. Okay. Well, then just wake up earlier.

Like Glenn kept saying like, yeah, but you know. farmers need more light in certain times. And I go, maybe in 1930. Yeah, well, yes, but also the light is still there. It's not going anywhere. It's just a matter of when you decide what the numbers says when you wake up. That is true. That is true.

All we have to do is just adjust the time we wake up. We'll have the same amount. You can wake up whenever you want. Pat wakes up at 3 o'clock in the morning because he's insane. You can do that too if you really want to see it all. Or you can wake up later. Yeah. Like the number on the clock makes no difference with how.

much light there is. The light is all there, whether it's, like, it doesn't change the sun. Now, the sun has a routine. Yes. And that doesn't change because we changed the clock. Exactly. Yeah, that's right. That is true. And I can't get over. Like, it's, you know what I compare it to, Pat? Is the thing they've done in Major League Baseball, where they just plant someone on second base, in extra innings.

They're like, oh, it's a, exactly, there's a mystery ghost runner at second now. and the guy who made the last out in the last inning just appears on second at the beginning of the inning. It's like, I don't care if it makes the game better. It's dumb. It is. You don't just place people on bases. That's not the sport at all.

I feel the same way about the new kickoff rule in the NFL. I hate it. I hate it. It looks stupid. It's a little different because it's just kind of adjusting the rules. It's not necessarily like inserting something from out of nowhere. But I just don't like it. So part of it is just traditionalist, but also it's just like,

time is a measure. Like we use that as a scientific measure. You can't just change the numbers. What are you talking about? Like, it drives me crazy. So for that perspective, I am all it. You know, I just don't, I don't like it. I don't like the changing the clock thing.

It doesn't make any sense to me. Just keep the clock the same and then change when you wake up if you really want to wake up at a different time. You want more hours in the day. You get up earlier. There's never more. You can't make more hours. There's not more hours in the day. It's the same amount of hours in the day.

What? It's just a matter of what you're calling it. What number? When did that start, though? Always. It's just like fire has always been able to be put out by water. Glenn Beck. All right.

It's not often, but every once in a while, you know, the most irritating things that life turn out to be the easiest things to fix.

Glenn Beck, Stupor Gear, Steve Dace, Jason Whitlock and me, Pat Gray, listen to all your favorite conservative voices. BlazTV.com. Promocode Glenn. Pat and Stufer Glenn, he should return tomorrow. Meantime, on Friday, the big sentencing thing came down from Judge Marchon. And what a sentencing it was. Oh, he's powerful. Yeah. Yeah. No jail. And no penalty.

So what was this 34, 36 felony thing all about again? What a waste of time. You say no penalty, but you forgot about the unqualified dismissal. Yeah. So he got, he had to, had to leave without any qualifications. Right. So you say no punishment. Imagine walking out of everything.

Gosh, I wish I had some qualifications to this departure. I don't think he'd want that. You had none. Well, it could be good quality. But what if it was something like, you must receive a massage? And he didn't get that. And he didn't get that. No.

Yeah, okay. I can see where that might be a problem. Because he did not get that. He did not get a massage before he left. No. As far as I know, he got nothing of the sword. He just had to leave as if none of this happened, which is fascinating, considering we spent millions and millions of dollars on it. And how much time and effort went into?

screaming about this guy. He's a felon. He's a convicted felon. Is he? Is he? Is he really? Really? Does anyone impressed by that?

I can tell you by the election results. The answer to that was no. Nobody was. Even CNN did a segment the other, I think last week with Harry Anton who does all their number stuff. He's actually pretty good. Yeah, it's good.

And he was saying that 5% of voters saw January 6th as the defining moment of the first Trump term. 5%. And you think about that and you're just like, gosh, 5%. Wow.

They put so much effort into making the entire election about that one day. About January 6, January 6th, January 6th, January 6th, they did it over and over and over and over again. They put all that effort in. And while the one you're talking about, the one he was convicted on,

was not specifically related to January 6, most of the other stuff was, most of the other legal attempts. And they put all their eggs in that basket. They failed on every count except this one, which was in a far left district, which they manipulated every rule to get this conviction, including the statute of limitations. And it meant nothing. They got nothing out of it. They totally blew it. I love that.

I love it, too. I'm glad they failed. I'm glad this approach failed. I'm glad lawfare is showing to be. a failure. But it does destroy people's lives. I mean, Trump luckily does have the resources and the support behind him to do this. But I mean, look at the people who bake cakes and won't bake cakes for certain, you know, events they don't agree with. Those people, you know, their lives get destroyed. Right.

You know, and luckily we hear about some of them. We don't hear about enough of them. J.D. Vance said something interesting about the J6 pardons, which are supposed to happen starting this coming Monday when Trump is inaugurated. And here's what he had to say about the pardons. January 6th, President Trump says there's a process. Where is the line drawn on who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon? I think it's very simple.

Look, if you protested peacefully on January the 6th, and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.

And there are a lot of people we think in the wake of January the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that. Yeah. Yeah, we do. There's a lot of people who weren't even there that were sentenced. To really egregious penalties in prison. There were people who didn't go into the building who were sentenced. There are journalists who currently work at the blaze.

We weren't working at the blaze then, our friend Steve Baker, who was, I guess, pled guilty to being in the Capitol, which, I mean, he was. He was there. He was there. He's on, camera. He's doing things that journalists do in these situations. There were, by the way, plenty of other journalists in this building that didn't get charged. It was okay if you were the New York Times to go into the building and take photos. You got, we won awards for it. Right. Steve's reporting apparently did not agree with the narrative that it was supposed, he was supposed to. So, you know, he got charged. So I think, I mean, look, I think, I think, tell me what you think of this because I think we had a guest on who was a victim of some of this.

I don't know his entire situation, but he was, you did hear this. Yeah, I heard that. And he was like basically, even the people who were charged with violent crimes should be pardoned. And there's a big push from the- It's kind of the fruit from the poison tree, right? That's sort of his argument that the whole thing was iffy. And so all, everybody who was convicted should be set free. And I understand that thought.

And I tend to be more on the J.D. Vance side, though, of things. Yeah. I thought you probably would be. If we, you know, I've had relatives who were police officers. If you're hitting a police officer over the head with a flagpole, I don't care how many times you tell me that the, that the, that the, there were FBI informants who were trying to make the event work. if you did it with your flagpole to a police officer's head, I don't want you released. What if I did it to his ribs?

What if I hit him in the ribs with my flagpole? No. No? Don't try to injure police officers if you would. That's fair. I know. That's fair. It's a big ask.

But like I, that like. Okay, but let me ask you this. Is four years enough time if I hit some police officer in the head with a pole? Yes, probably. Yeah. I mean, I thought about this way. Like, because. That's why I think I think.

They say insurrection, right? They say the day democracy almost died. Shut up. January 6th. It worse than the Civil War, worse than World War II. Obviously, all that's ridiculous. What was that day? It was a riot.

It was a riot. It was a riot. And like, if you think of, like, I was thinking about another riot that would happen, right? Like, if there was a gigantic bar brawl at a biker bar and police showed up and the biker bar, you know, it got out of control and a couple of the bikers wound up hitting police in the head with a nearby flagpole, which was just sitting by for whatever reason. Let's say it's a beer bottle. It had a bottle all over the head.

What should happen in that situation? That person should go to jail. They're going to serve a term. Should they serve 24 years? No. Probably not. No. My guess is it's probably, I mean, obviously if you murder somebody or something, that's

not what we're talking about here. That's different. That's different. If you had, if you assault a police officer, you should face a penalty in my view, and you should serve that penalty. Yes. That penalty is probably, and I have to look it up, but probably not for years.

Probably not. Almost certainly not. I remember in one of Glenn's books, and I remember doing the research for it and being shocked by it and having to check it so many times. But like convicted child molesters often serve less than three years in prison. Yeah. You know, it's like that's definitely worse than anything that happened on January 6th, molesting a child.

Can we agree on that part of it? I don't know. Maybe the left can't. But I think that's pretty clear. So I don't necessarily think now there are there may be a few people who deserve longer terms and there is some evidence that some people really were trying to do terrible things and and I think that that's something you have to look at on a case by case basis. But I think rationally people who did not commit violent crimes certainly have served their crime. It's served their term. Steve Baker wasn't doing anything wrong at all.

Shouldn't, yeah. When every minute of him being in that building is on. film, you can look at exactly what he did, which was reporting. Absolutely should not be facing a crime like that. You know, what I've read, Jay Johnston, the actor, who is a sketch, he was on Mr. show, he was on Bob's Burgers, several other shows, a very funny guy. I mean, one of the most talent sketch comedy shows. There's ever, sketch comedy actors there's ever been.

he was there and he was in the building for a few minutes. What they say is he helped wash. One of the things they charge him with is helping wash the eyes of someone who got hit with pepper spray. He helped like. How dare he? How dare he? Right. That's what they say.

They say he pushed. They say he participated in pushing back in one of the like, you know, scuffles. I don't know. I haven't seen the video of it. I don't know. If he really did something terrible, he should serve his terry. I don't think he does, though. And how much time did you get?

What? How much time? I don't remember. I don't remember off the top of my head. It was, I mean, is he still in? I will say a lot of these terms were not 24 years. It is important to know a lot of people.

There was only a few that got that kind of sentence. Who have had jail time, have already served it in or out. Yeah. There are a lot of people in that situation. Like the guy that you guys talked to last week. Yeah. So that has happened to. It's important to know.

But he was in solitary confinement for four months. Right. That's nuts. I mean, that's insane. And has to be rectified. He didn't do anything violent. he's in he's in solitary confinement crazy for months you know the oathkeeper's trial which is one that Steve covered Steve Baker covered where a lot of these guys um the people who were accusing them of what

they did with these um and this is why you have to be careful with what I'm saying about violent crimes they were people were saying they were violent against police officers and then the video didn't back it up they didn't have the video to defend themselves however the government wouldn't give it to them unbelievable we now know that they weren't even in the place they said that the accusers said they were. Was it the head of the Proud Boys or was it the Oathkeepers that was in Baltimore, Maryland? Yeah, that's the... At the time.

The Proud Boys guys was not there. Now, they have a lot of, you know, text messages and stuff from him potentially. Their argument is that he was helping arrange some of these activities, which again, could be seen as a more serious crime. 24 years seems... 24 years for the guy, you know? Yeah. Yeah, it does seem.

But again, you know, he was one of the, I mean, even taking out the leadership of some of these organizations, because that can get a little squirrelly with other stuff, a lot of these people just showed up to hear a speech and walked into a building. It's absurd that this is still going on. Yeah. And I think, so I think I'm in. It's a building that our taxpayer dollars pay for, too, by the way. Yeah. And should they have interrupted the natural process? No, they shouldn't have.

No. No, they shouldn't have. We've covered that widely. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty clear. Do you have a problem with what J.D. said there? Only that, it depends on who he's talking about.

Yeah, but that's what he's saying. He's saying it depends. A case-by-case basis. He said, and he even said with the violent crimes, there is some gray area there, which is true, because some of the crimes that were supposedly violent, you know, like, I don't know if Jay Johnson was included in this, but like they talked about him. It was a, you know, one of those situations where groups of people were pushing against each other and he quote unquote participated by I believe it says in the charges for a few seconds

now okay I don't know maybe you shouldn't okay but like is that a violent crime I would argue no no but I you know so I don't know how many of those are included in that you you probably a lot look assign somebody competent in the Trump administration you get in there assigned somebody competent take a few they should be doing this already but take a few weeks look at every piece of video, give me a list of who's good and who's not. That's how you do it. Hopefully they've done that. And they probably could have that done already, or they could assign someone immediately

the second they get into office to look at it and get this right. AAA 727BECK, more coming up. I mean, this isn't the Biden administration. They should be able to pull things off with a better competent. And I think they can and I think they will. All right. As a general rule, Glenn doesn't do the whole cell phone thing. He doesn't typically like them.

He doesn't like that kind of hassle. It's kind of a, I feel like largely a smart decision. But he did make an exception and get one because people are always trying to get in touch with him. And he wanted to support, you know, an organization that is really, really positive. It's Patriot Mobile. They are a great group of people, a great organization. They are a vital part of the parallel economy we've been building over the past few years. Of course, the Blaze is part of that too.

I would not say that at all. You wouldn't say that? There are a couple people who are upset with us, though. Uh-oh.

Oh, no. Bobby, we're on X at Stu Does America. Okay. At Pat Unleashed, I believe. Mm-hmm. I believe so. Check it out there. But somebody says, Bobby says, hey, someone please educate Pat and Stu on the why we have daylight savings time.

Oh, okay. It's so that it's light outside when school children go to the bus stop in the morning. On standard time, it's still dark and less safe for children. Wait a minute. Okay. What time are your kids going to school on standard time? Four? Very early.

Three? What? I mean, I can remember it being, you know, it's dark sometimes in the mornings. If they're at five in the morning, by six, even in Texas, it's getting, it's light outside. Are your kids lining up at the bus stop at six in the morning? I don't think so. It's like a Taylor Swift concert. They get up very, very early, Pat.

Okay. Well, here's the other thing I would bring up, because there's two options here. Yeah. One is we can do the daylight savings time approach in which. we just tell everyone that the time is mysteriously changed by an hour twice a year. So all of society goes to their clocks and changes their clocks, and we act as if this scientific measure of time changes twice a year for no reason. Okay.

Or the other option here. Yes, the other option is your school opens an hour later. Later. A little hour later. Right. So like instead of going at eight, at eight, they just call it nine. You'd still be going at the same time in both scenarios. Right.

Because time is like a scientific measure, but we call it different things. And in this period, we would just call it. What you would do is just say, hey, just go an hour later. The school just changes the schedule. That's impossible. So a school changes it twice a year. Or all of society bends for kids at school buses stops. I don't know.

One of the two. And again, I don't know that you're really, are they getting there that early in the morning? I don't, I have not. I don't know. I mean, maybe school starts at three for some people. I don't know. Maybe it does. I don't know.

Maybe the bus shows up really. really, really early. How about this one? Daylight savings all years so we can drive home from work when it's still daylight. My understanding is you could drive at night. Yeah, like there's lights on the front of your car.

There's headlights. That allow for such things. But like another thing you could do is just change the hours of your, if you really are that worried about driving home at night, you could just change your hours and drive home during the day.

And my employer won't change his hours. Well, why would the whole country been for this? everyone Arizona's like screw it we're not doing it right and that's the only sane approach Arizona is the only one that makes any sense to me that's why sometimes they're on Pacific time sometimes they're on mountain time right and they're just like screw it we don't care if it screws everybody else

I think there's a portion of Indiana does the same thing all right Glenn should be back tomorrow this is Glenn Beck
