Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come a vendor independent like SAC Magic. Hello, here Camille, our compress, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon enlarge our clientele
Starting point is 00:00:10 to the world entire. Trouve of little enterprises like on our own oner. With Pat and Stu, for Glenn, he'll be back on Monday. I got a jam-pack show again for you as usual.
Starting point is 00:00:56 There's actually some things going on in the world, frankly. In fact, a world leader has just been an assassin. people aren't paying a heck of a lot of attention to it, but very strange situation where they came into his house as DEA agents from the U.S. And assassinated the head of Haiti.
Starting point is 00:01:16 We'll tell you about that and lots more to get to, including the fact that Joe Biden loves spending money. We'll get to that and much more in 60 seconds. Buying and selling houses is hard. We've all had to do it from time to time. I'd be willing to guess that you're not, you know, on the edge of your seat saying, I can't wait to do this again, all over again, because it's such a fun process. But it's got to be done.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And that means if you're looking to buy or sell or both, you need the best possible real estate agent that you can get. Someone who's going to step in and make sure that they're taking charge of the situation immediately. You know, we're in a situation where people are moving all across the country because they've decided they want to abandon their place in California or New York or. Illinois. Some people have realized that maybe other states are better states to be in in a potentially challenging situation. Your location does matter here in the United States, obviously in a big way. And if you're moving somewhere or if you're selling your house, you want to make sure in a market like this, you're getting the best price for that home and you want to make sure that you don't overspend in the wrong area in the wrong market if you're trying to buy. Real estate agents
Starting point is 00:02:33 I trust.com is the place to go to find the person that can help you make sense of all of the craziness that's going on right now. Real estate agents I trust.com is the place to go. Real estate agents I trust.com. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn, AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Have you ever heard of a world leader being assassinated in his home before? I don't think I've ever heard of that. Maybe it's happened and I just don't know about it. But I can't think of a similar instance. The guy in Romania, Didn't they go into his palace and execute him? That was more of a full-out coup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:19 But maybe there's been a couple, but it's not every day news, Pat. And I keep looking for the part where the assassins were themselves killed. And I haven't seen a single story on that. I haven't seen a single word about that. I don't think they caught him. No, it doesn't seem like that. I think they walked into his house claiming to be DEA agents. drug enforcement agents and then shot the guy and his wife and walked out.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And that was it. And they don't have them in custody. No, I don't think they have them in custody. There have been multiple people killed across the country in, I guess people that were quote unquote suspects or loosely tied to someone who could be a suspect. And there's been some people turning up dead over the past 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:04:08 This tends to happen after you assassinate the president of a country. Yeah, it does. But it is amazing. that this is just, you know, people just aren't really even all that interested in it, it seems. You know, there was a, it's a weird situation there in that. They had like a very strange election. They had a provisional president for a while. They had, there was a disagreement on when this guy was going to leave office. They was like, I don't know. Maybe it's this year. Maybe it's next year. Shockingly, he took the next year option. Uh-huh. So he's been in power.
Starting point is 00:04:38 There's a, there's a contingent in the country that's saying that actually he's supposed to be out of power. But usually you don't wind up seeing a situation like this. And it's an incredible story. I mean, it's incredible. We still don't have tons of detail on how it happened. But they said they, you know, in the morning, you know, we wake up and there's just, you know, bolt, you know, casings all over the front lawn. Yeah. And the driveway.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah. It really was like they just, they said it was so many, so many bullets. The neighbors said that it felt like it was like an earthquake going on. Like there was just so much gunfire going into this house. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I mean, a world leader, right? You know, Haiti, there's a lot going out there. Had its problems. Yeah. It's got a few problems. One way to put it. One way to put it. But you don't see this every day.
Starting point is 00:05:24 No, you really don't. And I'm a little baffled by the fact that there was nobody who put a stop to it before it could get to that point where they could kill him. It does not seem possible. Security forces, maybe. Police officers. Secret Service or their version of Secret Service. Do they have none of that in Haiti? It's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah. I mean, they did have security, but... Has anybody looked to the second guy in control who now takes over the country to say... I'm sure he... The Prime Minister. I know they had a quote from him that I heard. He's like, hey, I'm in control now. I'm in control.
Starting point is 00:06:04 It's me now. That immediately led me to believe, could he have been behind this? Man, maybe that's a little hasty on. my part, but I'd look into it. Let me run this theory by you, and this is not fully formed, but I want to go. I let to get your take on it. I felt like reading about the story, because it's an interesting story, even if you don't necessarily care about the politics of Haiti, you know, a world leader gets killed
Starting point is 00:06:29 and it's something that's interesting. And I've been trying to find out details on it and trying to read about it as much as I can. And what I felt like is that the coverage has been really bad. like very like no one's been able to paint a picture of what happened on this day particularly well
Starting point is 00:06:47 no one's been able to really give you much detail now it's it's soon after and I know there's a lot of question marks it's not an easy story to cover but you know I feel like I cross my mind that the media has just given up on actually doing journalists
Starting point is 00:07:02 like there's a part of it it's like where like they just did five years of just covering Donald Trump's tweets and now a story like this happens and there doesn't seem to be anybody around to cover it or anybody who's capable of telling this story in any rational way. I'm looking right now
Starting point is 00:07:19 story I just found actually Jeffrey just said it to me. Authorities killed four suspects and arrested two others. So now they have, okay, six at least. They're believed to be well-trained killers who allegedly impersonated DEA agents to enter the home. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Prime Minister Claude Joseph has now taken over the government. I'm sure nothing suspicious there. You wouldn't think, hmm, maybe he had that done. But I guess they're mercenaries and highly trained. And at least one of them sounded like an American. He had an American accent, which means he had no accent at all. That's white privilege right there, folks. You heard it in action.
Starting point is 00:08:06 There it is. That's what it is. Right there. If you believe that you. that you have no accent because you're white, that's white privilege. It's not because I'm white. It's because I'm American. American.
Starting point is 00:08:17 So it'll be interesting to see what comes of this as we do get more details on what exactly happened. But for now, just a really strange development. And, you know, it's a country that's really close to our borders and does matter. And a lot of people go to the
Starting point is 00:08:35 Dominican Republic for vacations. They've got some really nice beaches in the Dominican and a lot of good baseball players from the come from the Dominican Republic, which is right next door to Haiti. So it's kind of important to the U.S. I mean, because baseball players and beaches. Baseball and beaches. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:55 No, it's, it's, it is obviously very close. So anytime you see you have unrest that is relatively close to our shores, we, you know, it's something to monitor. I don't think of it as a story that necessarily affects us all that much. but it is interesting to the Monroe Doctrine where we can't allow any sort of communist leadership on this side of the planet. That's all I have to say there. Yeah. Well, look, anytime something like this happens, you know, if God forbid an assassination happens in a well-developed democracy or parliamentary democracy or republic like we have, usually what you have is a situation where people mourn and we go on. through the to the next guy you know and we move on and we do our best right that doesn't a lot of
Starting point is 00:09:43 these countries this stuff happens and the whole thing just melts down now I don't know how you melt Haiti down it's already kind of it's kind of melted yeah it's yeah you know sadly it's they've had a lot of issues and it's like you put butter in a microwave what happens then you know and turn it up on high for a minute or so you're not going to have that's not a solid product yeah no and that's kind of what the situation Haiti has been it's been in a rough rough patch for a very long time with the prospects. I mean, of course, there's been people, go back to the Clinton Foundation stories where all sorts of corruption has been, has been involved down there.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Lots of money flowing there after their tragedies, lots of it not getting to the people in any way that was helpful. Clinton Foundation. I'm sorry, I had a little tickle. You're okay? Sick. You getting sick? Just a little frog in my throat.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Clinton's Foundation. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Yeah. You don't sound so great. $10 billion. Hmm. It was a long cough. That could be a whole new, that could be a new variant. It might be the Lambda thing going on.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, no. Yeah. No, please. You read about the lemony. I guess we weren't scared enough by the Delta variant. They've got to bring on the Lambda variant now. We'll talk about that later. And the other reason it matters to us, I think, is because I've already seen
Starting point is 00:11:08 of a little speculation about whether or not U.S. troops are going to be sent to help keep order during the transition. Please, can we is this, can we stay out of anybody's situation? At least with, with troops, at least sending the military in. I mean, haven't we learned anything yet? That doesn't usually go well.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Let's just stay out of it. Let them, let Haiti deal with, with Haiti. And we'll see how that goes. Well, we've seen how that goes. Not well. But again, is it our responsibility to patch each one of these things back up? I think the answer to that is no. No.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I mean, there's, you know, there's a lot of great charities that work in Haiti. And people go and spend their lives trying to rehabilitate that place. I know there's one charity that goes there and tries to, instead of donating money and throwing money at all the citizens, they open up actual like vacation situations, like resorts for other. people, other visitors from other countries to go there. And they hire locals. So they can bring in foreign money and tourism and all that. And they hire locals and try to come up with a business that is actually workable for people over the long term rather than just, hey, you get one donation every time there's a tragedy
Starting point is 00:12:24 and probably your government steals it. And then it's over. They have people who are able to actually do work and help people and give, you know, give value to people from a lot of times out of the country. Because, you know, of course, the country's beautiful. You know, it's an incredible place to go, but they don't have any infrastructure that anyone would want to visit, at least not until recently. And these things have been popping up all over the country. You just, with a situation like this, who knows how it turns out?
Starting point is 00:12:51 You don't want another Cuba, right? Right. I mean, you don't want that to happen again. We went there, was it 2015 maybe? 2014 or 15. It was years after the earthquake. But everywhere we went in Haiti, there was still the lingering effects of the earthquake. In some cases, rubbles still there that hadn't been dealt with.
Starting point is 00:13:18 There's partially collapsed buildings that should probably be completely torn down because they're unsafe. I mean, all over the country, this was years later and they were still. And so the kind of the question was, didn't the Clinton Foundation send them $10 billion to, I mean, and that wasn't the only, of course, aid that was given to Haiti, but still much had not been done. And why? Well, it's the corruption in the country. So they do have a difficult time. It's been tough for them.
Starting point is 00:13:51 And then after that, after the 2010 earthquake, I think there was a serious hurricane that went through as well. And they're right in the path of hurricanes all the time too. So things are tough there. AAA 727 BECK. More coming up in one minute. this is Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck Programme, 727 B-E-C-K The agenda of Joe Biden
Starting point is 00:14:20 How excited are you for it? Spending quite a bit of money. You know, I mean, if you consider, what is it so far? 5 trillion, 6 trillion, if you consider that a lot of money. There was a time when 5 trillion would have been considered a fairly large amount of money. That time is past, of course, because they're not done. spending yet. And they're also talking about tax increases, but of course only on the rich who
Starting point is 00:14:46 deserve it. They won't even care. They make so much money. Yeah, they don't need any more money. No. No. I've determined, Pat, through a process of me thinking about it, how much money everyone else needs. And a lot of people have more than that amount. So what I want to do is take the amount that they don't need, which I would say anything is over like anything over four digits. You know, if you have over nine, no one needs more than $9,99 per year. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. What I'm going to do is take all of the rest of the money and do with it, whatever you want. I want to do with it. Okay. Because I... Can you spend it better than I can? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Like, you don't know what the heck you're doing. I don't know. I mean, you are... Who am I? What do I know? Nothing. You know nothing. I'm nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Nobody. Well, what do you do? You know, you're, you know, you're... Look at what you've done so far. Exactly. You bought things for yourself, for your family? Yeah. I have a house.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You've started a business. Right. This is all wasteful nonsense. Okay? What I will do with your money is incredible things. Will you build turtle tunnels, for instance? Yeah, like these turtles try to cross the road and they get run over by cars. They get squished.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Which is not right. It's not right. So the money that you'll pay in taxes this year, Pat, I will take. And what I'll do with it is I'll apply. all of it to about one one hundredth of one turtle tunnel. And if we take a hundred people like you and all of your money, yeah, we'll kind of pot,
Starting point is 00:16:18 put that in a giant bowl and we'll take that bowl and we'll just dump it all over the highway. I'm not going to actually build the turtle tunnel. It seems like too much work. But like that much money would be a turtle tunnel. We'll hope the turtles will take that and maybe learn how to cross the road in a more efficient fashion. Or they'll take it and build the tunnel themselves. Yeah, I would look, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm not going to do the work for them. I mean, they're turtles. Right. Let them do whatever they need in their turtle world. Oh, yeah, I don't care about the turtles. To be clear, I do not care about the turtles. But the turtles are being murdered. Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:16:51 By people like you. Right. You know, with your cars. Because you bought a car with some of this money. Yeah. For yourself. Right. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Do you ever hear about carpooling? You ever hear about Uber? I've heard about it. Taxi cabs? Yes. I don't use them, but I've heard about it. Horse drawn wagons? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:10 heard of those. I've seen those in movies. But you, unfortunately, work very far away from here. I live, and I've chosen to drive a car
Starting point is 00:17:17 instead of just moving into a commune nearby. Yeah. All of these things are your choices, your fault. That's why I'm going to take every dollar above $9,99.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Okay. And that's exactly the attitude of the government. Basically. Which is kind of demonstrated by Joe Biden here when he's talking about this tax credit situation.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Starting next week, families have began to receive one of the largest ever single year tax cuts aimed to families of children. And every child under the age of six is $3,600. Every child between $6 and $7,000 is $3,000. It's not as a credit against your taxes, but as direct payment. You'll get cash. Cash.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Cash. That's what we'll get, for example, middle class family with two children can expect to receive $7,200. You get the first half, the $3,600 paid out at $600 a month between July and December, and you get the rest between January and tax day. Nice. With this one tax cut, every study shows that child care is cutting poverty by 40%. What?
Starting point is 00:18:22 Families with children who qualify for this is cuts poverty by 40%. This one payment cuts poverty by... At least through 2025. And let's expand. Yeah. Yeah, give me free money. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Free money. For millions more children. That's unbelievable to me. That's unbelievable. This is just universal basic income for parents. Yeah. What's the cutoff income-wise for that? He didn't mention it.
Starting point is 00:18:57 It just sounded like everybody gets a check. If you have a kid, if you have kids under six, you get $3,600. If they're up to 17, you get $3,200, I believe. believe, he said. I just, it's three thousand for six to 17 year olds. Okay, $3,000.
Starting point is 00:19:15 And $3,600. I have 44 children between six and 17. Really? Yeah. I just, I mean, I just adopted another 38 kids
Starting point is 00:19:31 over the weekend. And so I'm looking forward to that payment. I think you may want to, I'm just going to. I don't want to criticize your financial, your financial, uh, your financial, uh, cute, yeah, right. Um, the issue here is you may want to have, of wanted to look, uh, at the income limits and and, oh, dig it.
Starting point is 00:19:50 What were the income limits? Okay, so, uh, your adjusted gross income, $75,000 or less for, uh, single taxpayers. I guess I'm unadopting some kids, uh, this week. Oh, there's a giant pile of babies out front of Pat's car. Why are they? Um, above 75,000, the amount begins phasing out. Okay. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So, it goes, goes all the way up to $240,000, single file. I mean, at $240,000, at $440,000, couples get phased out of the tax credit entirely. I mean, imagine you're making $439,000 a year. You're still getting some partial tax credit for your kids. This is insanity. In a direct cash payment. It's not, that's not deducted from your taxes during the year.
Starting point is 00:20:33 They're setting you a check. And one of the big parts of this is to prime you for universal basic income is the check. comes to you. It's not like no longer in a tax and your taxes at the end of the year. You're just getting a tax check delivered to you every month. They're going to do this in 2025. Amazing. They're doing it forever. This is the Glenn.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Pat Gray. Stubergear for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You have Google devices at your house? You know, like the Google Home or Google Nest. You have the Nest, right? I have all this crap. I'm not. I do not hold the line in this way.
Starting point is 00:21:15 way. And you saw the convenience. The most recent thing about these devices, they're recording everything you do. You know, that is probably definitely true. But I also want to be able to walk into a room and say, play a song, please. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Please play. What weather is? That's as much effort as I want to put into it. It's so bad. It happened so fast. It did. It did. It really does.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But it is awesome. You can say, and I won't say the name of the product, I'll just, Amazon thing. Play my playlist. Playing playlist. And there it is. I love that. You don't have to walk over to it.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You just tell it what to do and it does it. It's remarkable. Turn up volume. And it turns up the volume. I love that. Look, you could get into this, this, you know, reminiscing into old-timey things in a lot of ways. And it's easy to do these days.
Starting point is 00:22:15 but like I remember like driving around the state to, you know, quote unquote record stores where they had, you know, really more CDs at that time. And just looking for like a rare thing that I wanted some weird remix or B-side or whatever it was, driving hours to go to these stores that were like specialty stores to find things that I wanted to listen to songs. And now everything you could possibly want is available. basically for free, whatever you want with no effort. And I can't... This little round thing right in front of you in your kitchen or living room or wherever it is. And to me, right now, the same person who drove around the state. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Now, like, me unlocking my phone and typing it in is way too much effort. It's too much. It's too much. It's way too much. It's got to be able to just shout it across the room and it happens. Right. Like, I know. At one point, I have, um, I got one of these Amazon devices.
Starting point is 00:23:14 that is the tap. They have all these different versions. They have the echo and they have, you know, there's all, there's a little tiny one. I don't know what that one's called. But they all different versions of it. And there's one called the tap that they release. I don't know if they still sell it or not.
Starting point is 00:23:28 But this is the one that you don't yell to, basically. I think you can set it up to say, hey, Amazon device, play the song. But basically what it's designed to do is there's a button on it. You press the button and you say, hey Amazon device, you know, do the thing, right? Like, play the song, tell me the weather or whatever. And I think a couple of things
Starting point is 00:23:50 it was designed for. It was, you know, but the main thing that you think of from, from a perspective of, like, privacy was it's not on until you press the button. Like the theory was, now, of course, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:00 of course it's probably recording me the whole time anyway. But the theory was, it was an appeal to people who didn't want this thing on all the time available. You could say that, to command 100,000 times in a row, wouldn't do anything unless you press this button.
Starting point is 00:24:11 But of course, it's too hard to go over and press the button. It's, you don't want to do that. Every time I'm like, oh, it's three steps. I got to get up out of a chair and do it? No. And then I got to hit the thing? And like, you know, when you're listening, you're in the middle, you have the thing playing a playlist.
Starting point is 00:24:26 You're in the middle of doing something else. And you want to skip some crappy song that has come on. You got to walk over to it? That's ridiculous. It's infuriating. It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. It's outrageous. It's outrageous that you'd have to do that.
Starting point is 00:24:39 It's so bad. And of course it is. And these are devices we didn't have access to. until just recently these are pretty recent innovations. And each one of them I make fun of as if they're the most ridiculous thing that's ever happened.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Like when I have, when I got the fingerprint thing on my phone, I remember thinking, what person can't spend the time to type the four digits into their phone and unlock it? What weird,
Starting point is 00:25:07 what, you know, person from, you know, from Wally, it was this. Yeah. And then it was me in about five.
Starting point is 00:25:13 minutes. And then now I can't imagine using my fingerprint. Now it's just facial recognition. And it would be completely ridiculous for me to ever have to use my fingerprint again. It's like 1800s technology to me. And what does it save me? One 80th of a second? Probably. But that's, I can't, I can't even comprehend it. Yeah. How dare they ask me to put my finger on the phone? And as far as listening to a playlist, instead of, I don't know, putting in a CD, when was the last time you put a CD into anything? I mean, CDs were just fairly recently state of the art innovation.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And now it's like a CD, what's that for? What's I don't even, I don't remember. I vaguely remember these round things that you put into a slot, but I can't imagine having to go through that painstaking process. I will say they're my, I have an older car and it's almost 10 years old now. Oh my goodness. So it is, uh, I mean, this is, you know, it's, I, the technology in 10 years changes a freaking lot, Pat.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I mean, like it has, my car does not have the ability to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my phone so I can play songs in my car. Oh, it doesn't? No. It was 2012, I think. So, I mean, the technology existed. It was in some cars, but it wasn't in all cars. and mine's one of them it wasn't in.
Starting point is 00:26:39 So I have to like plug in a little wire every time I get into my car. I mean, and this is like, what are you a Luddite? Pretty much. Are you anti-science and technology? Is that what you are? I'm pretty much churning butter. You should live in Western Pennsylvania. It's true.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It's how I feel. And it's funny because like that process is still a little clunky, right? You got to connect to Bluetooth or you've got to plug your phone in. and then you're on it. But like now they have the Apple car play, which is on, my wife has a car with an Apple Apple car play. She plugs the thing in and it looks so nice.
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's on the screen. It comes up perfectly. All the apps from the phone come up. It looks all pretty. It's all integrated. And, you know, but for a while, that's the only time I would say that the CDs were used.
Starting point is 00:27:28 One of her last cars didn't have all those fancy features and it had a CD player. And she got so annoyed at trying to get her phone connected and it would lose the connection and all that stuff that you just started buying. the CDs. And it was, but like, I don't even, I went to, um, it's funny because we have a, uh, we were talking, we were going on a long drive and I was thinking to myself, we need to get like a movie or something for these kids because they're just, you know, they're at that point. I have two kids. They're 18 months apart. And typically they're really good together. But at times, they get on each other's nerves a tad. And on a long drive, that's when it's going to happen, you know. So I'm like,
Starting point is 00:28:00 we got to get these kids a movie or something. I think we got a DVD player or whatever. Let's just like put this thing in there. So we went to Walmart or Target or something to try to find. And find DVDs. The section for DVDs now is like it's smaller than like your locker at high school. It's like there's four DVDs. They have two copies each.
Starting point is 00:28:19 It's funny. Like obviously like you know, what's the things that are outside of like Walgreens, the red. Oh yeah. Red box? Red box. Yeah. Red box. They're all over the country. There's still, people are still renting them.
Starting point is 00:28:33 But the DVD market is, you know, now you're just downloading these movies. this is the whole game stop controversy, right? When that was going through the roof, everyone's like, well, no one buys physical games anymore. How can this company possibly be going up to $100, $200 and $300 a share? Right. It really, all that stuff has just been replaced.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So fast, too. So quickly. I don't think, you know, Glenn has been on this kick for a long time that he always tries to resist this stuff for a while. And like, I want all, how many times does he say this? I want all this stuff out of my house. I don't even want to be on the internet. I don't want the internet. I want all the iPads out of the household.
Starting point is 00:29:12 No satellite TV. Yeah. Well, that my children know about, but I'm going to have access to it, of course. And then they'll find out, and so will they. And he always wants to get rid of all of his devices. Yeah. With the possible exception of the iPad that is continually attached to his hands at all times.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah. So is mine. I carry that thing with me wherever I go. And I don't do the iPad. iPad thing, but I do have... Carry your phone. And you try to resist this stuff from this idea that you're just going to get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And it's really just not possible. We do not have the capacity. And it's weird because we did have the capacity. Yes, we've lost it. Not to carry stuff around with us wherever we go, like a little blankie when we're, you know, two years old and we have a favorite blanket. That's what my iPad is to me.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I can't go anywhere or do anything without it. If I accidentally forget it for a second, I'm like, oh my God, am I naked? No, where's my iPad? Has anybody seen my iPad? Where is it? It's just ridiculous. So now these...
Starting point is 00:30:20 But now, yeah, these devices are listening to everything we do. And apparently not when you just say, hey, Google thing or Amazon thing turn on. They're apparently always recording. I mean, and we found that out of a couple. couple years ago and they were like oh yeah but that's just uh we're learning uh that's just to listen to conversation so that we can teach language to these devices uh-huh yeah so they're apparently still doing it and it just stores it and keeps it and there's going to be a lot of people who say well i
Starting point is 00:30:56 don't care i ain't doing nothing wrong in my home there's you'll be bored to death to hear what i have to say man you're not the one who decides if what you're doing is wrong or not that's the thing. Yeah. It's interesting, too, if you have one of these Amazon ones, I know in particular, you can go into the app and hear all the things it's recorded. Like, you could go in and like here. Oh, you can?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah. Like, you can. Have you ever done that? Yeah. It's just, you know, it's kind of funny because I, you know, my kids will say things to it. They're really funny because they just, they just, they just, they just ask, like, you know, we know, how old is, is Bob? Because they know someone named Bob and they just, they just assume.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Alexa is going to answer all of their questions. Like legitimately like they have this idea that like if sometimes you'll be in the conversation, let me just ask Alexa. And you're like, first of all, Alexa is not going to answer that question. That's not how Alexa works. Secondly, why do you think Alexa's smarter than I am? Why don't you? I'm your dad.
Starting point is 00:31:53 You're supposed to at least until 12 think I'm smart. And there's a rule. Yeah. And apparently that's, they know better already. That, but it is you see it in them. Like they just like that, well, there's a solution. It's right there. That little thing that lights out.
Starting point is 00:32:06 But occasionally they ask really funny and cute questions and that's what got me started on it. But you can go back like something. And you do realize that a lot of times it is, they're not intentional. You'll just hear them just talking in the background. I don't know why it's turned on. You know, maybe there was a word with an X in it, you know, that they said or a KS. And that sounds a little bit like the name of the Amazon device that we are not saying so that we don't alert everybody's, um, uh, and turn it on. And we could order stuff on your prime account. If we wanted to right. now, but we will not do that because we're nice. But it is one of those things that it turns, it changes so, so fast and you don't even
Starting point is 00:32:46 realize that what has happened. I mean, there's just, there's just recording devices all over my house. Right. All over my house. And the things that you wouldn't expect, like the Amazon device and the Google device, you'd think, okay, yeah, well, I can see where that might do it. But the Google Nest, that's recording us, too. They've got microphones in the Google Nest.
Starting point is 00:33:04 That's your thermostat control. Why? Why? Why is that listening to me? Why is that recording me? Why is that keeping... You don't... I don't talk to it.
Starting point is 00:33:13 So why would you need to learn from my language on the Google Nest? It's bizarre. It's bizarre. They also have... Nest has these... These smoke detectors.
Starting point is 00:33:26 And they... I have... This has been one of the most annoying... The thing that has annoyed me more than anything about the United States of America is basically the fact that these stupid smoke detectors beep
Starting point is 00:33:37 and I can't tell which one it is and I want to have to change the batteries. It's the bane of my existence. It drives me crazy. You'll take the battery out. It'll keep beeping. This is not physically possible. What do I have to take a shotgun to this thing?
Starting point is 00:33:51 How do I stop it? They bend the laws of science. There is no battery and is not plugged in and it continues to run like a chicken with its head cut off. Bizarre. And so I hate these things so much. Me too. The Nest has them.
Starting point is 00:34:05 And of course, with Ness, they'll tell you which one is low on batteries on the app. And I don't care if it just continually is taking pictures of me naked and posting them on the internet. If it will tell me what battery is low and where I go to change it, I will put them all in my house. I don't care if it's continually making videos of me on the toilet and posting them to... I do. I care. Because I know. I don't want to see that. website directly. The rest of us care.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Still. We care for you. And so we're going to say no. Okay. Well, that particular thing, maybe not, but pretty close. That's pretty much where I am. Triple 8. 727 back. That's Pat Gray. And Stuberg Gear, you can hear my show right before this one every weekday, uh, from 7 to 9 Eastern 6 to 8 Central or anytime on podcasts. And you can get Stu's anytime, anywhere you get your podcast. Uh, Stu does America. and rate and review these, you know, five stars, and then other people will be able to find them.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And I like what you say of, it doesn't just help us, it hurts others. Like AOC is really pain when people listen to this podcast. So you have that satisfaction. Yeah, that's a good way of thinking about it. It helps us, but more importantly, hurts others. Yeah. I like that a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:34 By the way, we were talking about the Google devices and Amazon thing. You can turn this function off apparently. And you have to go to, for Google Assistant voice recording on a, you go to your desktop or a laptop. It's myactivity.gov.com. And make sure you're linked to your Google account, which I don't even know how I,
Starting point is 00:36:02 I don't remember ever linking to a Google account. I got the dumb nest situation. But then from there, you can click on, web and app activity, manage activity, filter by date and product and then voice and audio will come up. And I guess you can delete and turn it off. If you turn it off, though, I think your Google assistant won't work properly. So there's that. That's always really convenient.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Because if the voice part is turned off, it's not listening to you anymore. And I think you have to turn it back on to get it to listen to you, right? Sounds like lots of fun It does It does But there are ways you can You can deal with it if you have it Or you know what
Starting point is 00:36:45 Just throw it away Whatever Triple 877 BECK This is the Glenn backup With Pat and Stu Glenn returns on Monday On CNN Brian Stelter
Starting point is 00:37:01 Had a guest Who made some Outrageous Climate Change Claims comparing it to the Holocaust. We'll tell you about that and a lot more coming up in one minute. Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck Beck.
Starting point is 00:37:25 727. B-E-C-K. Wow. This is serious. I mean, if you haven't been taking climate change seriously until now, I certainly hope this will change your attitude on it. Yeah, it's, this is chilling. Brian Stultor.
Starting point is 00:37:44 had David Wallace Wells on. And when you have a hyphenated last name like that, you know they're a serious person. They're a real expert. Or you're an assassin. Or that. Yeah, there's two things with the three names. You can either be a very serious person or an assassin.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Or lately you're in the National Football League. There's a lot of hyphenated names. Oh, really? Yeah. So David Wallace Wells is quoting estimates that suggest burning of fossil fuels kills kills 10 million people every year. Which, which of course, as he mentioned, is dying on the scale of the Holocaust.
Starting point is 00:38:26 How do these people get away with us? I don't know. Where's the ADL on this? Where? Where? Because we, I mean, when Glenn was defending people in Israel. and would mention something about Nazis or compare what's going on now
Starting point is 00:38:48 to what we're on the same road or you've got to be careful they would call him out every single time now if his climate it's okay I guess yeah it's fine and he says and yet we don't see many public health stories we don't see many moral crisis stories addressed to that issue we don't
Starting point is 00:39:05 are you blind that's all we see and by the way is there any thought And this is a, I don't know. I don't have an answer to this, Pat. I'm not a scientist. But do we think that fossil fuels have done anything to help people stay alive? Is there another side to this equation?
Starting point is 00:39:23 Let's not even bother attacking the ridiculous claim that a fossil fuels killed 10 million people a year. I'm quite certain that fossil fuels help maintain the lives of way more than one million people a year. What would happen? go back in time to the pre-fossil era and tell me in fact we don't have to go back in time you can find it in billions of people's lives all across the globe right now
Starting point is 00:39:49 who are burning things like dried dung inside their home to cook their food and that's not good? No, many of them are dying it's one of the largest from dry dung deaths and wood and biomass
Starting point is 00:40:01 inside their homes it's killing more people than almost anything in the world So, but let's criticize fossil fuels who have eliminated that problem for multiple billions of people. Stelter began this by saying that meteorologists and journalists are running out of words and ways
Starting point is 00:40:23 to describe the impact of climate change. Yeah, they are. Unprecedented, just doesn't cut it anymore. Nor does invisible. It's true. Because this is the problem with an issue. you like global warming if you're an alarmist. You make alarmist claims and you have to say they're coming soon or no one cares, right?
Starting point is 00:40:47 Because people are, you know, that's just the human instinct, right? If you say 500 years from now, this could happen. Yeah. Right. So you can't say it like that. You have to say it's within some sort of time frame and you can't say it's tomorrow because everyone will know it didn't happen. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:59 So you say it's out in the future and feel like you won't have to pay the price when you're wrong in the future. Although this is in the present. He is claiming, and it's hard to track this down, because how do you track down the 10 million people die every year from climate change? Where are you getting that stat? Where is that coming from? Who made that estimate? And based on what?
Starting point is 00:41:21 This is another example of how they do it in the climate. But often, you'll hear estimates of how many people will die in heat waves because of the climate. Climate change is coming, going to kill people in heat waves. What, of course, is always left out of this equation is the fact that far more people, die from cold than they do from heat. Oh, by far. If let's, if you're just talking about heat deaths, those are way outweighed by people who are not dying from cold.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Yeah. Right. So, and this has been, this is in all the, the UN IPCC documentation, this is not something I'm making up. This is something that scientists say all the time that for certainly a long period of time, the cold deaths avoided will far outweigh the new deaths cause. by heat. But if you go on Brian Stelter show or any CNN show
Starting point is 00:42:10 and say, just say the heat number, no one's going to question it. No one's going to mention the other side of the equation. I mean, how can any coherent person not see that fossil fuels
Starting point is 00:42:26 are one of the things that have brought us modern civilization? The fact that we've gone from, we've doubled our life expectancy over the past, you know, a hundred to a couple hundred years, if there's one thing you'd point to, you might point to fossil fuels as the difference in between us doubling our life expectancy. There's been other things. And those things are important as well. But fossil fuels are a huge piece of this. Even if you accept the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels
Starting point is 00:42:58 are killing 10 million people a year, it would still be worth it. Yeah. Oh, well, yeah. Because we've gone. I mean, we've added billions of people. And by the way, look at the people who were arguing against that. The people who didn't want it to happen are the same people who are now telling you that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year. The people who didn't want the
Starting point is 00:43:18 extra billions of people on the planet. They kept telling you we'd all die if they came. And here we are. You know, this has been, we've been able to feed all of them against all of their advice. We'd be able to keep, extend life against all of their advice.
Starting point is 00:43:35 and warning. And when these claims come up later on, no one holds them accountable. When they are wrong, it's left to us talk radio on Earth Day to bring out all the wrong quotes from 20 years ago or 30 years ago or 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:43:53 And that is a, it's an unbelievable situation. It's great work if you can find it. Because you can make all these spectacular claims, raise all your money and never have to answer for when you're wrong. ever. Right. And if I may just add one little addendum
Starting point is 00:44:08 to the fossil fuel thing. I don't believe they are fossil fuels. Oh yeah, this is a big Pat Dillard Gray position. My theory that oil is a recurring natural goo in the earth. The scientific term is recurring natural goo.
Starting point is 00:44:26 There are some scientists who believe this. They're always obviously referred to as fossil fuels the idea that come from fossils from long ago. But you've made you've stood on this for a while and there are scientists who believe it. The first time they started talking about peak oil was in 1920. Yeah, we're right up on peak oil here. It's about to run out.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Okay, well, that didn't happen because we found way more reserves. Then it was the 40s. Oh, we're coming right up on peak oil again. There's not going to be any to, we better find something else. And then they found more. And then in the 60s, oh, it's coming right up on peak oil. And peak oil, look it up. It's been over and over. over and over and over. And now it's just to the point where we've found so much that we are now, we now have more oil and gas reserves than any country on Earth. And the people thing is very similar to the environmental thing.
Starting point is 00:45:19 It's, they continually warn about all these terrible things that are going to happen. They don't happen. And then they just say, well, now we know better. Those, if you call,
Starting point is 00:45:29 if you actually get in a conversation with an environmentalist and you bring up the quotes from the 70s, 80s, the 90s. when they're totally wrong. They will just say, well, yeah, but I mean, it's been 20 years. We've learned a lot since then. It's like, yeah, but then you never have to pay a price for your wrong statements. Do you understand that you set up a system in which only you can tell us that you're wrong?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Remember when you said Britain was going to be gone like underwater by 2000? Yeah, that didn't happen. If I'm not mistaken, Britain is still there. Remember when you said the West Side Highway in New York City is going to be gone completely underwater? the people are driving on it today right now. Exactly. Let me give you this one. This is from the New York Times in 1995.
Starting point is 00:46:14 They say, quote, at the most likely rate of rise, some experts say most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years. That would be 2020. Now, if you're on the East Coast, perhaps you could do some reporting for us today. Are there beaches there? Do beaches exist on the east coast of America? My understanding is that they do. I was in on the east coast at a beach in 2020.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Oh, okay. And it was still there. Now, I don't know. Maybe they just got it off by year and they've disappeared the last couple of months since I've been there. But my understanding is that beaches still exist on the east coast of the United States. No one, the New York Times doesn't write a follow up about this story. They don't come back later on and say, by the way, do you believe we write? wrote this thing 25 years ago, isn't this funny?
Starting point is 00:47:06 Like they do with the internet. Occasionally you'll see this like, they'll be like, look at our stupid article from 1991 about the internet and how it won't be, it won't make any difference, right? Like they'll come back and revisit. They don't do that with climate. They only do it to excuse the reasons why they were actually right all of this time. And actually,
Starting point is 00:47:24 it's worse than they even said back then. Let me give you another one of more recent. All right. Do we have time for this? Yeah. Okay. So what was the. panic before COVID.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Can you remember the panic that occurred before COVID? It's hard to remember this panic because there should have been a lot of panicking during COVID. But before COVID, one of the more recent panics was in the summer of 2000, between 2019 and 2020, where Australia was on fire. Yeah. Do you remember this? This was the big thing.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Australia is on fire. The whole country is burning down. It's because of global warming. no one's ever seen anything like this. There were fundraisers on television like crazy. No one had ever seen such a terrible thing happened to Australia, and it's all because you're driving an SUV. So now, months and months later,
Starting point is 00:48:18 we have the actual data from the Australian fires. Now, you can understand why maybe people aren't focusing on that with all this COVID going around, but it's important to revisit these things when we get the data. So during the 20th century, about every year in Australia, about 10% of the surface area catches on fire.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Every year. Yes, throughout the 20th century, that's average, about 10%. Now, we are told, of course, that global warming is going to make this much, much worse. Obviously. Well, in the 21st century,
Starting point is 00:48:51 so far, the number has been, instead of 10, 6. So it's gone from 10% to 6%. It's fallen by 40% in the 21st century. Now, we are told, that global warming is going to make these things much, much worse. Now, obviously, 2019 and 2020 was a terrible year, as we know.
Starting point is 00:49:09 This is the year that it was really, really bad and worse than ever before. 98%. Yeah, and it wasn't 10%, wasn't 6%. In 2009, somewhere in there. No. No. 3.95% of the country burned. It was one of the lowest percentages on record in history.
Starting point is 00:49:27 We have the chart up here. If you happen to watching blazeTV.com slash Glenn, promo code is Glenn, by the way. way if you want to save some cash, but basically we're showing the actual amount of it falling from about 10, 11, 12% in the early part of the 20th century down to 3.95%. Incredible. Now, now climatologists do say that there will be an increase in these fires, whether they're right or not, who knows.
Starting point is 00:49:53 But if you see, Pat, if you can see, they had the line here a second ago with the yellow line on the chart. You see the yellow line is the predictions of what's coming in the future. Now, the past is a giant decrease from these really high levels down to 3.95%. And basically, what the climate, all the climate models are predicting are for it to rise slightly from this really low period in history. So basically what they're saying is instead of it being 4% or 5% like it is now, it may go up to 6%. But 6% is still half of what it used to be. And then, of course, doesn't include all of the innovations and things.
Starting point is 00:50:32 things we will learn to fight the fires and lower the overall burn. Right. Long story short is that these things are presented as catastrophes and they're not even back to half as bad as it used to be. The only difference between the fires in Australia in 2019 and 2020 is they occurred closer to where people lived. They're started by lightning and that lightning hit areas that were closer to where people live so they noticed them more.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Lightning only happens because of climate change. Lightning didn't happen in the past, right? No. No? Not true. By the way, the global, do we have the, yeah, this is a global area burn from 1901 to 1920. Same story, right, Pat? I mean, you see the drop is dramatic.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Huge. It's been dropping much faster since 2000. And this is all the opposite of what they told us would happen with climate change. That's unbelievable. AAA 727 BECK.

You know, the global warming situation, climate change situation is incredible because they tell us, a lot of these experts just tell us from time to time what they're doing. And they admit that, yeah, we got to, you know, we got to be alarmist to get people.
Starting point is 00:53:14 people activate it here and to help them understand how dire this situation is. So we don't mind telling them it's worse than it really is. I mean, they admit to that from time to time. Well, on CNN with Brian Stelter, this David Wallace Wells, said the media must remain in an alarmist state while reporting on climate change. We can't shy away from scary projections about the future or the scary. or the scary facts as we're living them today. Start thinking a little harder, be a little clearer in our storytelling.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Learning to live in this new future, which will continue to get worse, probably considerably worse from here, is not just going to require decarbonizing, although that's very hard. So what they're trying to do is really shut down economies across the planet. And it's it's despicable what is happening. And they are just ramping up the rhetoric here to try to scare people. And the people they're scaring are our kids. They're just scared out of their minds because they're getting this indoctrination in the school system.
Starting point is 00:54:32 And then they turn on media and see it there. And they wholeheartedly believe that the world is going to end in 10 years. And nobody, no legitimate. person is actually saying that. As, you know, Michael Schellenberger mentioned in his book, Apocalypse Never, as he's trying to calm down these alarmist people and say that there's, there's nobody who's really, there's no reasonable person who is making the statement that the world is on the edge of extinction.
Starting point is 00:55:07 That's just not true. Nobody is saying that. Yeah, I think it was Michael Schellenberger's book where they go over some of these extreme environmentalist groups and talk about how they're saying. He actually interviews them. He actually interviews the people from these organizations. What I loved about him is that he went to the people that everybody was citing. Yeah. Well, IPCC says that.
Starting point is 00:55:33 And so we went to the IPCC. He went to find the actual scientists who they say said it. And he talked to them. The actual scientist. And he asked them. And they said, thank you so much for coming to ask me. No, that's not true at all. That's not what I said.
Starting point is 00:55:45 I've really legitimately. I've never said that. Yeah. Legitimately, multiple times in this book. Multiple times. He actually goes to the scientists. And, you know, Michael Schellenberger is not us. He's not Pat and Stu.
Starting point is 00:55:56 He's not Glenn Beck. He's not from the blades. He's been doing it for 30 years. He's been an activist for this for a very long time. On the other side, really. Yeah. And so he has real credibility with many of these scientists who, who are familiar with his work over the years. And the book is fantastic. But he goes and he talks to these people and you say like,
Starting point is 00:56:15 hey, like everyone's saying that you said we're all going to die in 10 years. Did you say that? And they're like, thank you for asking me. No, I didn't say that. Like, it's that, it's that clear. Yeah, it is. It's that clear. It's the actual people. The media is citing about these claims who tell Michael Schellenberger routinely over and over again that they did not, they did not say that. They did not mean that. They're taken out of context. That's not, this is being misused. used by everybody. It really is an incredible thing. Of course, does that get any media coverage?
Starting point is 00:56:45 No. How? How is my question. It's a good question. And it doesn't fit their agenda. Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Beck Program, AAA 727 B-E-CK. Stubergear may have convinced me to go ahead and
Starting point is 00:57:11 break down. I don't know. Perhaps get the vaccine. Oh, no. I would never. I don't. Now, if I grow a tail or a third eye from this thing, you know, or drop dead 15 minutes after.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah. I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I was just going to drop dead. I'm pretty sure it will be the vaccine. Now I. So you'll be to blame. And you'll need to, first of all, exploit my death. And then, but also admit to the fact that you killed me. Now, do you, do you think it's, would you use the word blame or credit?
Starting point is 00:57:44 What word would you use? Well, I would use the word blame. Others may take credit. Look, there's a lot of people out there that are trying to take you out. And maybe I'm working for one of them. You have a lot of enemies. That is possible. Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:03 That's true. It's been a long, you've had a long career. You've pissed off a lot of people. A lot of people. Really, it only takes one of them to get to me to encourage you to do something that's going to make you explode. Yeah. And maybe I've done that. You came up with a lot of statistics because I said during the course of the show yesterday that I am among those who could be convinced to receive the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I'm not anti-vax. No, you've never been. I'm just, I'm hesitant about it because we get stories every day about people who've had some sort of side effect. And it, you know, it causes your pause. Well, not you because you already got the vaccine. But since I said yesterday on the. are that I'm persuadable. You came up with all these stats.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You can't say that to me. You did some research on this. You did a little research, didn't you? Now, is this from a show you've done? Because you've... No, I mean, parts of it have been from shows that I've done. But I just laid out a case. Like, I just feel like, you know, look, there are two sides to this.
Starting point is 00:59:06 You know, I know, I know you get the side from your wonderful producer, who I love Keith, who basically gives you a YouTube video every day. To convince you that at least at some point you're going to have a tail. Yeah. Or something. I'm probably a metallic tail from what I understand. Yes. And I just think that, you know.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I will stick to the theory that, or not the theory, but the evidence that that magnets will stick to people's vaccination site. Some people's. Okay. Because I've seen it. Okay. I've seen it. Okay. Now, I, as we know, of course, President Trump did, led this effort.
Starting point is 00:59:44 it was a big part of his re-election campaign. It just heard an interview with him the other day, where he was still talking about how proud he was of developing the vaccines that are wiping the pandemic off the map. And he was also vaccinated. And he was, that's important. It is.
Starting point is 00:59:59 President Trump does not have a tale from my understanding, though someone did accuse him of wearing his pants backward. Maybe that is why he was doing it. Now there's no evidence. It was a delayed reaction from the vaccine. It was just a one-day thing. It could be. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yes. So I, well, actually, what I, and what I said to you in the, in the email was not necessarily even a case for the average person to go get the vaccine, just that you are, you are uniquely not a borderline case. Right. Because you are, first of all, not a spring chicken anymore. Number one, his big, his big, in bold, number one point. You're not as young and supple as you used to be.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Right. And I don't want to say that you're not supple at all. I mean, you're certainly supple. at some level. Just not as supple as I once was. Not quite as supple as you used to be. All right. And that's just saying like you might still be above average in the amount of supple that you are, but you were maybe a little higher. So I love how you note that I'm, you know, somebody in my age group, 50 to 64, is 440 times as likely to die as a younger person. Thank you. That is true.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Now, as you've noted correctly, by the way, and we've made this point a million times, your chances of dying if you're a young person are not high, right? Right. We just know that when you're an older person, they are high. Yes. Right. But still, someone in your age group is about as likely to die. About one third is likely to die.
Starting point is 01:01:30 One third as someone in like their 70s. Now, again, you're not a spring chicken anymore. You know, people keep throwing out this like, you're not in your 70s. But you know how dangerous it is for people in their 70s. And if it was just your age, maybe you can make an argument. But it's not. And that then comes point number two, which he actually alleges that I'm somewhat athletically overweight.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Tad. I'm just saying that, you know, maybe. And I put myself in the same category here. We're not exactly not in peak physical condition. Right. Perhaps. Perhaps. I'm just throwing that out there.
Starting point is 01:02:09 But as everyone knows. If you're a little athletically overweight, you got a worse chance. You have a worse chance. With COVID. You in particular, number three, I think is an obvious point that many in the audience may not be dealing with. And it is this. You've had, you know, cancer. Thank you for that reminder.
Starting point is 01:02:32 I thought you might have forgotten. Thus, the, you know, the scar here, the here. But like, it's not like you've had one kind of cancer. No, I've had, I have two. Two kinds of cancer. Two kinds, like two different brands of cancer. It's not just the one delivery of cancer. You've had like both the McDonald's and the Burger King of cancer.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Yes. You have two different kinds. Now, I didn't calculate the odds of your situation with multiple kinds of cancer. No, but you did just combine the three factors above. The not being as supple. So my age group. Your age group. Weight.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Your weight. And health issues. And, you know, your cancer. So Pat Grace survival rate is about the same as an average 75 to 80 year old. Thank you. Thank you. So that's... It's not great, Pat.
Starting point is 01:03:24 That's not great news. It's not great news. No, it isn't. So, I mean, I think, like, we always talk about this. And I think conservatives have talked about this for a long time in that, you know, look, people should be able to make their own decisions. Maybe the most vulnerable should be the ones getting the vaccine first and protecting themselves. maybe you leave a supple 27-year-old to make their decision and it might be a little bit different. You, however, because of your additional effects are actually a much older person.
Starting point is 01:03:56 You should think of yourself as 80. You should think of yourself. I'm Pat Graham, an 80-year-old. Should I get the COVID vaccine? I think that should change your mind a little bit, or at least change your perspective a little bit. Which brings us to point number four. It's not just death we have to. think about here.
Starting point is 01:04:12 It's hospitalization and getting a really severe case of it, right? Yeah. And I think I have between a 15 and 35% chance of being hospitalized if I get COVID. Thank you, Stu. You're welcome. You should really good. And look, you probably will survive it because that's a good news. You'll probably just go to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:04:29 But after a really rough stretch. Yes, it'll suck. But you'll probably walk out at the end. So good on you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Then number five. Point number five, you're way less likely to die from the vaccine than from COVID. Yes, this is true.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Especially for you. I mean, you're a freaking disaster as we've covered. Sweet of you to say, thank you. You're welcome. I'm just trying to help. There have been false reports of up to 3,000 people dying from the vaccine. This is not true. You say.
Starting point is 01:05:04 It is not true. It is not true. But even if it weren't. I've actually heard it's 4,000, 4 to 6,000. No? No. No. This is, I mean, we could go through all the details of this.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Well, what about the VERS portion of the CDC website? Well, it currently unvairs. There is a case of a one-year-old who got the vaccine. And that, and that one-year-old then died. And that's terrible, right? It is. The one-year-olds, or multiple problems is one-year-olds can't get the vaccine. It would be illegal.
Starting point is 01:05:31 And secondly, the way they died is they committed suicide with a gun. Now, most one-year-old? Yes, most, so the theory was. Usually they don't get that depressed at one. No. You know, they're usually more optimistic, I found it one. But this particular one-year-old somehow weasled their way to get the vaccine and then shot themselves with a gun. How did that show up on the Vars website?
Starting point is 01:05:52 The Vars thing is basically like, I mean, look, there's really good uses for VERS. It's not a terrible system. And it helps you catch some of these side effects. But also, anyone can submit anything. So, like, there has been cases where people have submitted that I took a vaccine and it turned me into the Incredible Hulk. And that made it onto the VERS website. legitimately the incredible Hulk those words you know anybody can can do it and obviously there's a lot of passion on both sides about the vaccine thing i mean i'm not trying to you know i mean all that
Starting point is 01:06:20 my point though is that even let's just say it was four to six thousand in the same time period 250,000 people died from COVID yeah right like it's not again you can make the a different argument if you maybe are like me and had COVID-19 and i am a COVID-19 survivor if you were a young person. Like there's other arguments. When you're Pat Gray, who's basically you should now think of as an 80 year old, Pat Gray, eight decades into life. Wow. Yeah. You know, it's a different calculation, I think. And that's why, by the way, and we have a lot of seasoned, well-seasoned audience members out there who might be over 65. Over 65 in this particular country, we're at 88.4% vaccinated. I mean, most people realize if you're in that age group, you get vaccinated. You're probably going to wind up doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Point number six from Stuproger, your risk from the vaccine is far lower than your risk from COVID. Even if you factor in the possibility, you might luck out and avoid the virus. Yeah, because I think there's a thing of, okay, I know that the vaccine is less, is, it's not bad for me in comparison to actually getting COVID, but I don't have COVID. Maybe I'll avoid it. Right, which I have so far. Right. You have it. We avoided it this entire time. Mm-hmm. If you factor. in the risk that you will not get it, you're still 239 times as likely to go to the ICU
Starting point is 01:07:43 than to have a serious harm from the vaccine. 239 times. Now, that includes the idea that serious harms from the vaccine, which they're comparing this to, is an allergic reaction to a very typical vaccine ingredient, which if you've never, I don't know how much you've been vaccinated in the past, but if you've never had a reaction like that before, you're unlikely to have it now.
Starting point is 01:08:05 but this is why if anyone who's out there who's got the vaccine, they make you sit around for about 15 minutes afterward to make sure you don't. What ingredient is it that people are allergic to? I don't have the name of it in front of me. But that's what I've wondered, because I've never seen what's actually in the vaccine. And so I could, I mean, I'd have to look at,
Starting point is 01:08:24 I'd have to. They think it's just a particular, one particular ingredient. That's been the major serious serious harms. This one, this particular study that I'm talking about was from the AstraZeneca situation, which is very similar. to the Johnson and Johnson one that we have here. With the blood clots. Same thing.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Yeah, the blood clots. That was the effect of, of, that was mostly young women who had that issue. And now that they know about it, luckily, they're able to treat it really easily. It's not a difficult thing to treat if it pops up. It pops up about seven in a million cases. And so it's very, very incredibly rare, obviously, but still something to be concerned. I mean, you know, look, you should always be concerned about any particular. side effect. However, these numbers, 239 times as likely to go to the ICU, is of the belief, number one, that it is, we are at rates, even with our low rates here in the United States, upspread at this moment, we're still double what this study looked at. So we have, it's more than 239 times as likely. In addition to that, one of the things that I think has been hidden among, and this is a positive, by the way,
Starting point is 01:09:35 been hidden among the great decrease in numbers, 95% and deaths have dropped since our peaks here in the United States. Those only, that measures everybody. So the rates have gone way down for the country. But a good chunk of the reason for that is about 90% of our elderly have been vaccinated. So they're not dying as much. Cases, you know, two thirds of adults have been vaccinated. So there's not as many cases out there. The rates among people who don't have the vaccine are still pretty.
Starting point is 01:10:05 pretty decent. I mean, they're not, they're not nearly as low as you think they are. Because almost all the people who are getting COVID and having issues with it are the people who do not have the vaccine at this point. And that was my, my belief. And again,
Starting point is 01:10:21 I understand, and it's important to know to everyone. And a pat, you'll back me up on this, I think. I do not believe the government should be mandating this. I do not want Joe Biden coming door to door to tell me how wonderful it is. I don't want any of that crap.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Leave us alone. Let us make our own decisions. But that being said, right now, we have two groups in this country. People who've had the vaccine, people who haven't had the vaccine. They're about 50-50 splits roughly. I mean, it's not exactly 50-50, but it's about 50-50. Right now, 99.2% of the deaths are people who are unvaccinated. 99.2% of the deaths.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Again, these are equal groups of people. And hospitalizations, 99.9.9% of the deaths. of people in the hospital are unvaccinated. If you've been vaccinated and you get COVID-19, the vaccine usually causes the virus to do less damage. Yes. It's less severe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:22 And like, you know, it's tough because cases are weird, as we've noted from the beginning, right? Some people, I had an asymptomatic case of COVID. So, like, I might not have known, if not for certain circumstances, mainly the person who gave it to me finding out they tested. positive so I had to get a test. I probably wouldn't even have known. But, and so cases are difficult. But if you go to the hospital, they're going to know whether you're vaccinated or not.
Starting point is 01:11:46 You're going to, you're going to have the vaccination records. It's going to be in your health records. They're going to know. And so when people get hospitalized for COVID, they're finding out 99.9% of them are unvaccinated. Wow. So again, it's up to you to take risks on both sides of this. But I just wanted to harass Pat, because it was your fault.
Starting point is 01:12:04 You're the one that said you were persuadable. you did. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. It's Pat and Stoufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. AAA-7-2-7-B-E-C-K. Where do you stand on the Britney Spears thing now? Did you watch the New York Times documentary on her? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Yeah, they just made you feel really bad for anything you've ever said about Britney Spears, basically. Yes. Yes. She went through a lot. Including the things that they said about Britney Spears, by the way, at the time. Exactly, which they don't mention. But, yeah. Everybody was tough.
Starting point is 01:12:39 on that. A lot of those stories now come back with new eyes and don't look quite as simple. Yeah. But apparently, according to lawyers, it's almost impossible to get out of these. San Francisco. Oh, what a beautiful city. Man, do they run that city well, too? They've got their finger on the pulse of what makes a great, a city great. And we'll get into some of the greatness of San Francisco and what's going on there. Coming up in 62nd. Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Every weekday right before this or any time, anywhere you get a podcast. Stu has a show as well, which is called Stu Does America. That's right. That's what I do every night. Every night I'm doing you, America, and you can be there for it. It's really enjoyable, I promise. Huh. You know.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Because it doesn't. Sometimes people are not willing to be done. And usually that's criminal. But in this particular case, it's okay. I've got to pass from the government. Wow. A special dispensation. That's good.
Starting point is 01:14:00 There you go. All right. You can get the shows, by the way, on the YouTube pages as well. YouTube.com slash studios America. I assume is it YouTube.com slash Pat on leashed. Just search for Pat Gray unleashed. That's what you do. You'll find it.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Yeah. Mm-hmm. All right. Target and Walgreens are making some drastic changes. We talked about this a little bit yesterday. But according to the California Retailers Association, three cities in California are among the top 10 in the country when it comes to organized retail crime. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento. Already they're seeing the negative impact that things are that San Francisco is experiencing with stores permanently shutting down or closing early because they can't keep their merchandise in the store.
Starting point is 01:14:45 and it's not because people are paying for it and leaving with it. They're just leaving with it and not paying for it. It's like 100% off sale at Neiman Marcus and Target stores and Walgreens. And Target has now acknowledged San Francisco is the only city in America where they've decided to close some stores early because of the escalating retail crime. For more than a month, they've seen a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at their San Francisco. stores. And Target's not the only store in San Francisco making these drastic changes because of the continual shoplifting.
Starting point is 01:15:25 After 10 o'clock, 7-Eleven in San Francisco in multiple locations is shutting down. Or you have to ring first. You ring a bell to let somebody know that you're coming in and then they let you in. I mean, between this and the human excrement, on the streets and the sidewalks, you know, the piles of poop, human poop, and the homeless tents and the homeless cities. I wonder if San Francisco residents are starting to think, huh, should we try something else? We've been doing it the Democrat way for 60 years,
Starting point is 01:16:07 and it doesn't seem to be paying dividends. I wonder if maybe we should try something else. I always thought this is a fascinating thing you know President Trump said this type of thing over and over again during the campaign and I think in 2016 but certainly as we approached 2020 like what about trying something else like it doesn't seem like a crazy point here no it doesn't we all recognize that many of these areas
Starting point is 01:16:33 have been massive continual systemic chronic failures yeah and they've all been they've all been governed by the same party the whole time. Name a city that has a really serious problem like San Francisco does with crime and quality of life diminishing. And maybe even huge swaths of city being taken over by some other element like Antifa. And what do they all have in common?
Starting point is 01:17:05 They're all Democrat-run cities every single one of them. Yeah. Wouldn't you get the hint after a while? wouldn't you say, hey, maybe we shouldn't have a Democrat mayor and a Democrat city council and Democrats running every aspect of the city. Maybe we should try something else. It's incredible to me that they don't come to that conclusion because they just did a poll of San Francisco and the Chamber of Commerce shows eight out of 10 residents consider crime, were, and the quality of life has declined.
Starting point is 01:17:45 70% feel the quality of life has declined in San Francisco. That's huge. So that's not just Republicans saying, yeah, I mean, this city is starting to suck. Around 88% of people said homelessness has worsened. 80% view addressing this homeless crisis as a high priority. 60% believe it should be a high priority for San Francisco to maintain funding for police academy classes in order to recruit younger, diverse, progressive members to replace those who have retired or left the San Francisco Police Department.
Starting point is 01:18:23 76% say it should be a high priority for the city to increase the number of police officers in high crime neighborhoods. 82% want more caseworkers on the streets to help individuals suffering for mental illness. It might be a good idea. 74% support providing more temporary shelter. for homeless individuals. So maybe it's time for a change in San Francisco. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:18:49 Maybe. I don't know. I often go back to, as you were talking, I was trying to remember what the exact stat was. And I found it here. This is an inconvenient book. So it's Glenn's first, I think it was his first number one New York Times bestseller. So it goes back a ways now.
Starting point is 01:19:05 But I would say, I think that came out in what, 2006, 2007, something like that. But if you think back to those days, Since then, we haven't exactly seen an explosion of big cities run by Republicans. Would you agree with that analysis? Yes. Okay. So this is just going back to 2006 or 2007. And this is the percentage of time.
Starting point is 01:19:26 These cities were run by Republicans since 1965. Okay. Now, I didn't, these are not a random collection of cities. These cities are the cities with the worst poverty rates at the time. Oh, okay. Not too much change in these. I don't think. They may have reordered, reshuffled a little bit, but you get the point here.
Starting point is 01:19:47 So New Orleans, since 1965, 0% of the time has been run by Republicans. Philadelphia, 0% of the time. Newark, 0% of the time. Milwaukee, 0% of the time. Cincinnati, 19% of the time since 1965, run by a Republican. St. Louis, 0% of the time. Buffalo, zero percent of the time. Atlanta,
Starting point is 01:20:16 zero percent of the time. Miami, 31 percent of the time. And I believe Miami currently has a Republican mayor as well. Detroit, zero percent of the time. And why is that in my name? Probably the Cuban population that want to try something different because they've been through this stuff in Cuba.
Starting point is 01:20:34 And they understand it. And so they're like, hey, let's go a different way. Yeah. And it works to 31% of the time. To give you the grand total here, Republicans have run the cities with the worst poverty problems in America, only 8% of the time since 1965. And that is a stat that is now 15 years old. So in that time, we've seen Democrats running those cities for even longer periods of time. So that number is a little too high at 8%.
Starting point is 01:21:01 I'm not, you could even argue that Republicans don't have the right answers. But you can't argue you should continue doing what the left wants you to do. obviously these policies fail over and over and over again. They continue to create and maintain a status of horrific poverty, crime, and so much more. It is a constant struggle for the people in these cities to avoid the worst outcomes in our society. and it's a large part because of progressive policies that have destroyed these cities. They weren't always like this.
Starting point is 01:21:43 Detroit wasn't always like this. No, Detroit was a wealthy city at one point, a thriving city that was one of the best cities in the world. And look what Democrat leadership has done to it since what, 1960, 65 somewhere in there? It's been run, I bet, continuously by Democrats since then. is Democrat one of them that that you mentioned that hasn't been run by Republicans at all? I don't I don't know if that was on the list.
Starting point is 01:22:14 I think that the only list was the poverty was just who is at the top of the poverty list at that moment. Though a lot of these cities have become worse in that time. You know, it is you don't have to necessarily embrace every part of the Republican platform. And we should point out a lot of the Republicans that that did. were included in these areas. You know, like, you know, one city has 30% you know, of the time it's been run by Republicans. That's not exactly going to be like the Republican that would please us, right?
Starting point is 01:22:46 Like if you said, who's, what governors have there been of Massachusetts? Well, there's been some Republican governors of Massachusetts, but they're not exactly. Mitt Romney, of course. But they're not exactly the ones that maybe are policy-wise are consistent with what we would advocate in every situation. Arnold Schwarzenegger in California. for a while.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Exactly. Yeah. I mean, you know, Maryland has a Republican governor right now. Massachusetts has another Republican governor right now. You know, that's not to say that every Republican, you don't have to necessarily be our flavor of Republican, but just trying something, anything other than what you're doing. That's failing miserably. Constant failure usually means you try something else. I mean, Pat, you and I are not the most svelt individuals in the world. Yeah, you mentioned that I'm not as supple as I used to be.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Well, that was, that was calling you old. This was, I'm talking about being fat. Okay. And so both of you and fat. Yeah, old and fat. Good, thank you. Now, you own Kexie Cookie, but, well, your partner, of course, with your wife in this particular venture.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Yes. And your kids work at the family, family business a little bit there. But Kexie Cookie is a company, usually when you own a cookie company, you're not, I mean, is it possible to remain as a man at least thin? I don't think it's possible, especially when the cookies taste that good. Yes. So, you know, look, we would recognize that what we have done has not worked. Okay?
Starting point is 01:24:11 We've had our moments, right? Sometimes we've had good runs where we've lost some weight. Maybe we've looked a little bit better than other periods of time. But generally speaking, we come back to the same terrible practices. At least, though, we're trying things sometimes. Like, we don't just necessarily go down the same route every single time. We might try a different approach. We might try to convince ourselves in a different way not to have that ninth cheeseburger.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Whatever the reason is, you at least try different things. And if we continue to do the things that we continue to do, we realize what the result will be. Yes. We will look like ourselves. Or even worse. Or even worse. We could look like Jeffie, as you point out. And it could even get to that level.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Point being that when you have a situation that's not going your way, perhaps trying something different would help. Yeah. And seemingly no city in America can get it through their, their thing. thick heads that this is something that you should do. I mean, in Seattle. In Seattle,
Starting point is 01:25:07 there is a King County council person who, well, she's running for King County Council. And a few years ago, maybe it was 10 years ago,
Starting point is 01:25:23 she actually boarded a bus of school children and threatened to blow it up. Now, I'm a little pickier about the people I vote for than that. I am not sure if, I mean, do we have the, yeah, it's cut five. The lady running for King County Council in Seattle gets on this school bus. I believe this was in 2011.
Starting point is 01:25:49 And here's what happened. Sure. So she claims to have a bomb on her. I might have a bomb. She's telling people I'm Muslim, I'm covered I might have a bomb. And she's going to blow it up. Might have a gun. Finally, a police officer boards the bus.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Some kids actually escape out the back. She continues to yell about the bomb that she has. And a police officer comes on. I'm going to ask you to get off the bus right now. I'm going to ask you one and then I'm going to take you off the bus. If you choose not to get off the bus, I'm going to choose not to get off the bus. to drop you right here as we stand. Do you understand that? Okay, then what I would do is back up off this bus right now. Turn around and face it. Right? Start backing up. Start backing up. I'm only going to
Starting point is 01:27:01 tell you what. I don't care if you're prepared to die. I don't care if you're prepared to die. I'm prepared to kill you. So the cop finally takes care of this situation. It turns out she didn't have a bomb, but there are council members and members of the Democrat Party that are defending her and talking about what a great leader she is. And of course, I'm thinking anybody who has threatened school children on a bus like that, that she's going to blow them up and kill them is probably disqualified from consideration for city council. That's how that's how bigy I am.
Starting point is 01:27:44 speech once again. Yes. Doesn't want someone saying they have a bomb and might kill a few school children. Even if they don't. But they say it. Yeah. Then I'm still, I'm not.
Starting point is 01:27:55 No, I'm sorry. Is her defense here basically that she was trying to like accuse others of believing that every Muslim has a bomb? Oh, she had depression. Oh. Of course, post-part. They didn't have the BS.
Starting point is 01:28:09 No, she had, excuse. It was depression. Right now there's a video going around. from a bunch of activists LGB-Q-Q-Q-I-A-2-P-P- Oh, good. Yeah. Plus. Thank you for including them.
Starting point is 01:28:23 Thank you. Demisexual and pansexual. Activists who are basically saying, we're going to, you know, it's a song, I think, and they're saying they're going to, you know, indoctrinate your kids to be gay, convert them to be gay. And like, it seems like it's done in a tongue-in-cheek way where they're basically mocking the ideas that they think,
Starting point is 01:28:43 I guess us evil churchgoers believe that that's what they're doing and they're trying to have fun with it or whatever. It's not fun to me. But it's like most people are like, you know, the question is what that's their defense in anyway, right? They're basically saying like, okay, well, we're just, we're really funny and we're just mocking you. She's not even attempting that defense. She's not even saying like, we know you what you think about Muslims. You think we all have bombs. Well, maybe I have a bomb.
Starting point is 01:29:10 She's not even saying that. She's just saying she was depressed. Exactly. And sometimes when you get depressed, you go on a bus of school kids and threaten to blow them up. That's just what you do. It's what you do. 8-727 back. So I want to let you know that if you've been grilling from the top of your roof, the stakes have never been higher.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Get it? Stakes have never been higher. There's a dad joke for you there if you didn't notice it. But if you are one of the people who like to spend weekends cooking out with your family, it's a great time to bond. It's a great time to tell terrible. that jokes. It's a great time to hang out with your kids, play a little wiffle ball in the backyard, then come in and eat some great food. Well, if you have a rec tech, you're not just buying
Starting point is 01:29:54 a grill. You're bringing the industry standard and smart grill technology into your own backyard. You're cooking like the professionals. The rec tech is sleek, beautiful, and made with heavy stainless steel. So it's like grilling on a tank. It's just fantastic. And you can be in the comfort of your own air conditioning and control the whole thing. The whole process can be done from inside, which is the best part about it potentially, other than the fact that when you're done, the food is fantastic. It's sturdy. It's smart. It's dinner time. Follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter. R-E-C-T-E-Q is the way you spell that. It's got a cue at the end. RecTech.com. RecTech with a Q.com. R-C-T-E-Q-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-C-E-Lew.
Starting point is 01:30:35 10 seconds station idd speaking of great democrats doing fantastic jobs uh how about the mayor of chicago she is uh oh lory lightfoot yeah lory lightfoot doing a terrific job and anybody who criticizes her well that's all about you know her being a bi pock of course um here's what she had to say about it um about why people criticize her got seven your reaction to criticism a tribune editorial used the term irascible uh how much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman and specifically a black woman. Oh, all of it. About 99%
Starting point is 01:31:25 of it? About 99%. Yeah. About 99% is not because she's a hypocrite and she tells people in Chicago they can't leave their homes and they can't go to salons and then she does the opposite. It's not because of any of that. It's because
Starting point is 01:31:41 she's black. Of course. It's the same playbook. Every same thing. I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of it. The other thing they do is they can't disagree that the crime situation is a real problem. So they can't just say, oh, well, you know, the crime is really bad and obviously we're in charge. So we, oops. They just call it gun crime instead. Now, there's all sorts of crime that happens in these areas that don't have to do with guns. They're all increasing
Starting point is 01:32:09 too. But they're just saying, well, gun crime. If we say gun crime, then we can, of course, blame the gun instead of every other element of society leading to these outcomes. Despite the fact that, especially in her city, they have the toughest gun laws in the country, and they still had 104 people shot, 18 killed over the Independence Day weekend. And again, this is a city that has gun rules so tight, they've been overruled as against the Constitution multiple times. Like, the Heller case was about Chicago. Right. Because that is how central to this they have.
Starting point is 01:32:48 That's how bad they're gone. laws have been and still no effect. Amazing. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. More Pat and Stufer Glenn. Coming up. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. AAA 727 B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 01:33:11 There is something called the Mandela effect. And it has to do with Nelson Mandela and people believing that he died in prison, which didn't happen. No, he did not.
Starting point is 01:33:25 He actually got out of prison and became pretty prominent for some time before he died. He died in 2013, free men. Yeah, you might remember. That's where Barack Obama hit on the leader of, was it the Netherlands? Yeah, I think the female leader of the Netherlands. And Michelle was not happy with that arrangement. Not happy. They seemed to be laughing and having a great time and flirting together.
Starting point is 01:33:51 And Michelle was, yeah. Not thrilled. Visibly unhappy. I do remember that video now that you say it. Now that you say it. Yeah. So this is idea that basically like society can create a false memory and things and people will believe. And like it's a mass false memory too.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Not just like a few people, but everybody believes it. Everybody believes it. So there's some examples of it. It are pretty interesting. The Mandela effect was the belief, as you mentioned, that he died in prison, which I never thought. But I guess a lot of people did. However, this one I could probably be affected by. For example, what does Darth Vader say when he's talking about being the father of Luke Skywalker?
Starting point is 01:34:35 Luke, I am your father. Right. 100% right? That is definitely what he says, except for the fact that's not what he says. He says actually in the movie, no, I am your father. He's answering it. Right, because Luke says to him, you killed my father. You're like, Luke, you don't know what happened to your father.
Starting point is 01:35:03 You killed my father. No, I am your father. Right. Right. Excellent. By the way, excellent recreation there. That was amazing. But yeah, I mean, I would have totally said, Luke, I am your father.
Starting point is 01:35:17 I would too. And bet money on it, that I was sure. Yes. So there's a bunch of examples of that. That's one of them. But that one I would have definitely got. wrong. How about this one? Monopoly, the game of
Starting point is 01:35:27 Monopoly. Does the Monopoly man have a monocle? Well, yeah. Absolutely. No, he does not. The Monopoly guy does not have a monocle? He does not have a monocle. He's never had a monocle. Is he holding it in his hand? No. He's holding money
Starting point is 01:35:45 bags in his hand. Okay. So he doesn't have it in his eye and it's not in his hand. No. The belief is that people are conflating the Monopoly guy and Mr. Peanut. Now, Mr. Peanut does have a monocle. Those are two very different characters, actually. I don't think I've ever conflated the two.
Starting point is 01:36:07 I'm pretty sure the Monopoly Man is not made of peanuts. That's one thing I am sure. Yes. Well, that's an interesting one. Okay, here's another one. This one I probably got wrong to. If you think back to your childhood, you're making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
Starting point is 01:36:22 made me a peanut butter jelly sandwich for your kids. And you break out the jiffy peanut butter. Yes. I would think it's jiffy. Yeah. No. But I know it's not because we went through this on my show a couple of weeks ago. It just came up.
Starting point is 01:36:39 And I'm like, did Jif used to be called Jiffy? It was like, no. It's never been jiffy peanut butter. It's always been Jif. Yes. So there is a Jiff peanut butter. And there was also a Skippy peanut butter. And there was also a Skippy peanut butter.
Starting point is 01:36:52 butter, but there has never been a jiffy peanut butter. Someone out there should create a jiffy peanut butter. Yes. Right? It'd be successful. It would be huge. Everyone would think that was the one they'd been buying since they were a kid, but no, there's no such thing.
Starting point is 01:37:05 Really weird. Okay, another movie one here. Now, I don't know how much you were fan of Silence of the Lambs. Probably not that much, but it was a huge movie, obviously. And if you've never seen the movie, you probably know one thing about it. When she walks into, in front of the cell door there, he says, hello Clarice It's like a very famous thing
Starting point is 01:37:25 Okay yeah He doesn't say hello Clarice In the movie He actually just says good morning Really? Because that's what everybody says Yes now he says Clarice Yes
Starting point is 01:37:38 He says Clarice in that voice many times But he only says good morning He never says hello Clarice That is weird Okay fruit of the loom Yeah Okay underwear Right
Starting point is 01:37:50 You've got the symbol of fruit of the loom. Can you picture it in your head? Mm-hmm. Now, I would have pictured in my head as a bunch of fruit kind of spilling out of a cornucopia type of thing, right? Yes. Okay. The fruit has never spilled out of a basket. It does not come out of a basket. It is literally just a pile of food. Really? Yeah, which is a weird thing to put on your underwear. That is weird. It's strange to put food. I mean, I almost want it in a basket, so it would be protected. But no, it's just food. Yeah, why are we associating food with the underwood, I guess, obviously, fruit.
Starting point is 01:38:26 And it's fruit of the loom. It is. And so, so there you go. There you go. Still. Okay, this one I didn't remember. Mona Lisa, when you look at the thick of the Mona Lisa in your head, is the Mona Lisa smiling?
Starting point is 01:38:40 Is the Mona Lisa frowning? What is the Mona Lisa doing? I think she's smiling. Like a little smirk. That's exactly right. She has a little bit of smirk. Most people remember this as her frowning a little bit of, bit.
Starting point is 01:38:53 It's a Dower Times in that painting, so I can understand maybe why you conceptually put that, but that's not true. Do you remember Ed McMahon? Yes. Back in the day, he's showing up on doorsteps. He's giving people oversized checks and balloons. I love this one too, because this I've stumbled on to as well. For the publisher's clearinghouse, sweepstakes.
Starting point is 01:39:12 He never worked for publishers clearinghouse. Right? It's incredible. It is incredible. When I first saw this, I didn't believe it. I know. In fact, I went back to all the videos because I didn't believe it. I'm like, yes, he did.
Starting point is 01:39:27 Yes, he did. Publishers Clearing House. He did. No, he did not. McMahon never made any house calls. First of all, he never went to a house. He just endorsed a separate entity called American Family Publishers. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:39:40 There are similar entities, but McGam never was on camera. Doesn't it tell you what a terrible job he did representing that country, that company, when everybody thinks he was for their competitor? Right. It's weird. It's very weird. He sucked. They shouldn't have paid him a dime for that.
Starting point is 01:39:56 I'm sorry if you're, you know, a recipient of the estate of Ed McMahon, but you shouldn't get a penny. Well, I mean, it's very memorable commercials. You just don't remember what they were for. Apparently, you think they were for the competition, which is weird. Very. It really would be weird if, you know, later on, people were like, I remember that Ronald McDonald, but he was the Burger King guy. That would be weird. Would.
Starting point is 01:40:16 Okay. Barstein Bears. You know them. Mm-hmm. Can you, do you know how to spell the last name? the name of the bear like Berenstein S-T-E-I-N
Starting point is 01:40:28 Right That's what I would have said I would have bet my life on it I read these books as a kid The correct pronunciation And has always been The correct spelling, excuse me B-E-R-E-N-S-T-A-N
Starting point is 01:40:41 Oh it's Berenstain Yeah, it's always been Baronstain, it's named after the authors Whose last name is Berenstain It's never been Berenstine Bears Ever Yet I would have bet my life on it Uh-huh
Starting point is 01:40:52 C3PO. What color is C3PO? Gold. Gold. 100% gold, right? Yeah. The lower portion of his right leg below the knee was silver when you first see him in the movie. And it's a fact that sometimes surprises people who have seen the original trilogy dozens of times, according to mental flaws. Really weird. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Risky business. 1983, Tom Cruise. Uh-huh. He slides out. He's in his underwear. Yes. He's dancing in his sunglasses. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:41:24 except he's not wearing sunglasses. That's from a different part of the, it's like from the movie poster. He's wearing sunglasses. He's not wearing sunglasses in the famous scene of that movie, though everyone seems to think that he is. And this is probably the most common one cited, which is this Shazam the movie.
Starting point is 01:41:43 Shazam the movie starring Sinbad as a genie for kids. Except for the fact that that movie never existed. There's never been a movie named Shazam with Sinbad. bad in it. There is a movie named Kazam with Shaq in it. Really? Yeah, is that weird? Really? I totally would have thought that was a movie Shazam.
Starting point is 01:42:03 Yeah. I could picture him in the unit. Like, I can picture it. I was with you until you brought up the shack thing. And now it's true. It's a movie called Kazam. Shaquille O'Neal was in it. Huh.
Starting point is 01:42:14 There is no movie named Shazam with Sinbad as a genie in the movie. But for some... That is weird. Some reason, a lot of people, including my... would have absolutely bet my life. Yeah, I would have sworn on it. Would have sworn by it. So weird.
Starting point is 01:42:29 So weird. Fruit loops. How is fruit loops spelled? I think I know this one. Is it F-R-O-O-T? It is O-O-T. Okay. And the other reason I think, I think, first of all, I like fruit loops a lot.
Starting point is 01:42:43 But I think I've noticed this one before. And the O-O is like the shape of the loops. Yes. But I totally could have got that one wrong. Yeah. I would have said fruit. is spelled as fruit. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:42:58 Did, you didn't, you didn't do curious, George, did you, the monkey? Oh yeah, when I was a kid, I used to.
Starting point is 01:43:05 Did he have a tail or no tail? He had a tail. He did not have a tail. Did not have a tail. Really? Why? What happened to it? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:43:19 I'm concerned for George. I was bitten off by a lion. I'm not sure what kind of tragic accident happened there, but... I blame Joe Biden. Joe Biden. I mean, he was around back then. He's probably responsible. Probably.
Starting point is 01:43:33 Cheese-its. Do you eat cheese-it, or are they cheese-its? Well, they're cheese-its. They're cheese-it. Just IT, no Z. Do you know? I would... Everybody I know calls them cheese-its. Yeah. Nobody calls them,
Starting point is 01:43:50 Hey, can I have some cheese-it? Please. Nobody. I'd like a little bit of a... Give me a bag of a cheese it. Nobody would say that. No one says that. That is really weird.
Starting point is 01:44:03 That's wrong. That kind of blows me away. How about double stuff Oreos? Do you know how to spell... Double stuff? You just spell the stuff part of double. Double stuff Oreo. I mean, I'm just assuming it's not STUFF.
Starting point is 01:44:19 You're assuming correctly. It's just one F. Really? Why? That's not how you spell it. spell it wrong on the packaging. So, yeah. I just, and I've been in front of a lot of bags of double stuff over the years.
Starting point is 01:44:32 To not recognize that. Yeah. That's amazing. I mean, basically my whole life, almost daily has been a bag of double stuff down the gullet. And even I didn't pick that up. The Flintstones. Have you ever noticed that there are two T's in it? It's Flintstones.
Starting point is 01:44:53 Not Flintstones. I would have never guessed. I'm looking at the logo and I would have never ever believe there was Flintstones. Two T's there. Yeah, I would say Flintstones.
Starting point is 01:45:05 Flynnstones vitamin. Also, life is like a box of chocolates. Yeah. From Forrest Gump, that's not what he actually said. If you listen closely, he says life was like a box of chocolates. I would have sworn by that one too. Life is like a box, a chocolate.
Starting point is 01:45:24 chocolates like life was like a box of chocolates. Right. Yeah. I think they say they think part of this is, you know, the mistake gets made once and then it gets repeated and repeated and repeated and people just take in the mistaken example. But it is a really strange thing. There is an entire society out there that believes this is like some like interdimensional conspiracy that like, for example, Shazam with Sinbad was a movie. but it was in like a parallel dimension and it's like slipped through somehow
Starting point is 01:45:58 so we still people really believe this I could almost subscribe to that theory that's well that's how much I believe this stuff Lord of the Rings one more here just the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf is you wouldn't know this one
Starting point is 01:46:13 because you don't do Lord of the Rings right not really no when he takes his staff and he bashes it on the he slamming it down and it breaks off the bridge and that big thing is coming at him. And the big thing grabs him and pulls him down with it. And he just hangs on for a minute. He looks up at his group of friends and he says,
Starting point is 01:46:40 run, you fools. He doesn't actually say run, you fools. He says, fly, you fools. And almost everybody remembers it and says it, run, you fools. Weird. Right. Weird. It's, I believe, the interdimensional thing now.
Starting point is 01:46:57 You've convinced me. Yeah, it was the Lord of the Rings thing that you've never seen that finally convinced you. Yeah, exactly. As Pat and Stu, AAA 727B-E-C-K. You've had to do this one more. We're just talking about the Mandela effect. Things that you believe, the whole society believes, but really aren't true, weren't quite the way you remember them.
Starting point is 01:47:22 Things like Jiffy peanut butter never existed. It's always been Jiff. How about Smokey Bear? No the in it. It's just smoky bear. But here's why. Do you remember the song? When they sang the song, it was
Starting point is 01:47:40 Smokey the bear. Smoky the bear. Prallin and a growling and a sniffing the air. So they called him Smokey the bear in that. And that's what caused that. That's just wrong. Yeah. Look, I think both are true too. I mean, if his name is Smokey Bear,
Starting point is 01:47:56 he's also a bear. So Smokey the bear and Smokey Bear would both be accurate. Right? Yes. I will say, I think there's a point in the future where we're like, do you, do you remember Joe Biden being president? Did that happen? I hope we're at that point sometime very soon. Wait, no, he wasn't really.
Starting point is 01:48:16 No, no, he was vice president. And he was a senator. Yeah. Right? But not. He ran for president, but he didn't. He didn't make it. He ran like five times, didn't he?
Starting point is 01:48:25 Yeah, he couldn't have won the president. of the United States. No, he was senile by the time he was in his late 70s. He couldn't have been president. Yeah, he couldn't be, right? Yeah, no. I do kind of remember him bumbling and fumbling around basic sentences. Like in front of the, in the Oval Office, I think. He wasn't, good God, that man wasn't president, was he?
Starting point is 01:48:45 Please tell me that day is coming very, very soon. This is the Glenn Back program. We're going to say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance. Not need to have a gross mongrel in or to play at golf or to be a pro of the crypto. Not a business,
