Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, so Pat and Stu in here for Glenn. We're going to get to this here in just a second. Let me tell you about Grip 6. You work hard for the money you earn. And if you're like me, you like when you go out and you spend that money with companies that don't hate your guts, maybe don't despise the country you live in. I don't know. It's crazy ideas like that. Maybe it's a patriotism thing.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Maybe it's a quality thing. Maybe it's a sanity thing. But traditionally, there are things that have been made here in America that last longer. They work better. They set the standard for the rest of the world. and that's one of the reasons I love partnering with companies like Grip 6. You're talking about a true American experience. These are products you can count on.
Starting point is 00:00:37 They're made here. They have great socks and wallets and, you know, they've got all sorts of stuff, but it's all made right here in the United States with U.S. sourced materials. These are really something, these are people you're going to want to get to know, and a company you're going to want to get to know. American-made products from American Labor. Check out Grip 6 today. You'll love them.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Grip6.com, Grip6.com slash Beck, Grip the number six.com slash Beck. You're about to hear the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie. Cocaine at the White House. Was it? Hunter Bidens? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. I think that looks a little more likely than it did yesterday at this time. We'll get into that and much more with Pat and Stufer Glenn today.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Coming up in 60 seconds. How dare you besmirch the name of Hunter Biden? I apologize. We'll get into that nonsense in a moment. But I want to tell you about a woman named Natalie. She and her husband have four children, all of whom they fostered to adoption over the years through various circumstances. They reached out. They made these children a part of their family, all while running two businesses.
Starting point is 00:02:39 She's a listener to the show. So, so, Natalie. How are you? It sounds like she's doing a pretty good job at life, and that means she's probably doing a good job at her actual job, too. Her job is a real estate agent. And how do we know that? Well, she works with real estate agents. I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:02:55 The fact is, she's a great, one of the thousands of great real estate agents across the country that work with real estate agents. I trust.com. Wherever you're going in the country, if you're moving to a new place, you don't have a real estate agent, go to real estate agents. I trust.com. If you're selling your home, you want the best price for it, you want someone who knows the market. And as the best result, real estate agents, I trust.com. The name kind of says it all. Go to real estate agents.
Starting point is 00:03:18 itrust.com. It's real estate agents. I trust. com. This is a company Glenn started years ago. It's a free service to you. Buying or selling a home, go to real estate agents. I trust.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Dot com. Okay. So they found some cocaine at the White House. Kind of a big deal, I guess. You know, sure. You know, some people would say that. Depending depending on who is doing the cocaine. the White House. You know, and first we were told, oh, I was in the library. It's a, it's a place where
Starting point is 00:03:49 they do the tours. So, you know, they kind of led us to believe, oh, that could have been anybody. Right. Because anybody can go on the tour. Yeah, like, I took a tour of the White House when I was a little kid. Maybe I brought my cocaine. Maybe. Yeah. It's probably some seven, eight year old with his, with his Coke. I mean, how many times have we seen that? Thousands. If not more. More. Maybe more. Maybe more. I don't want to undersell it. Then it turns out, no, it was in the West Wing, in a working area of the West Wing. Huh. Well,
Starting point is 00:04:15 former Secret Service agent, Dan Bongino said yesterday that it's very likely that it came from somebody in the family because everybody else is checked on the way into the White House. And it's kind of hard to smuggle Coke into the White House when you're being checked like that. And so the family gets to avoid that.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Obviously, they don't go through the security measures that everybody else does. And so it's more likely, apparently, that a family member was in possession of that cocaine and then left it somewhere. I mean, is there a history of anybody in the Biden family leaving things around for others to find? Like, you know, I don't know, computers, that kind of thing. I'm sure there's no evidence of that. No, I can't think of. I wish I could.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I wish I could, but I can't really think of anything. And of course, this is, you know, Hunter Biden, who if you had an idea of somebody who might do something like this, it would be Hunter. And not only did he leave the laptop famously at the computer repair shop with all this material on it, many evidences of him doing hundreds of crimes reportedly. he also one of the big incidents from his younger days was he had a rental car and he returned the rental car I believe it was just a Hertz
Starting point is 00:05:43 with cocaine lines on the dashboard geez oh my gosh he left the cocaine in the car so when they're like sir this appears to maybe be a little cocaine and you know
Starting point is 00:06:00 I don't know if Hertz was particularly appreciative of that that move. But it's just one of the things he's done over the years. It certainly seems like... He's so careless. This could be him again. It could be.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Just leaving Coke or laying around. Now, at first I thought, that's likely not him. You know, everybody wants to jump to that conclusion. Yes, it was certainly my first thought, to be honest. But I thought, eh, probably not. But maybe. I will say, that is careless enough to do it. What you just described is the exact same thought process I went through.
Starting point is 00:06:33 when the laptop came out. I remember thinking to myself, look, I would love this to be true that all of a sudden we're gonna but there's probably not. Right? He didn't leave. And he did.
Starting point is 00:06:44 And he did. And so you can't put it past Hunter Biden. I mean, look, drugs are pretty serious business. This is why we say kids, give it up by not taking it up. Don't get involved in hardcore drug use. This is your message from the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Just say no. Just say, you know, just a good idea. Yeah. Stay away from the hard drugs. Yeah, it is. Any drugs you can think of. It's probably not a good idea.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And the, you get into this stuff. It's not easy to just reverse. And all of a sudden, now I'm okay. I'm just a painter. Right? You know, that's not the way that works. It's usually very difficult to do, especially when you're in the middle of these high,
Starting point is 00:07:22 high stakes games, which they are playing. You know, there are, there is so much evidence that the Biden family was involved in all sorts of borderline or over the line criminal activities when it comes to money and foreign business deals and I don't know possibly serial killing. I don't know. At this point, who would have put anything past any of them? I don't have any evidence, the serial killing one. But it does seem like at some point we might say, hey, by the way, there's a little evidence that maybe Hunter Biden murdered a tribe in Madagascar. You're like, wait a minute, what? Would you be that surprised? No, I really would. At this point.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I wouldn't. Madagascar might surprise me. I'd probably think. The travel. Yeah. American Samoa would be more common. More reasonable. But it is, we are at that point where anything can happen.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And it's, look, I mean, I've fortunately never gone down any of these roads. I know you haven't either, Pat. We are our glorious host of this program, Mr. Glenn Beck, has fought some of these demons. And it's not easy. No. It's a really, it's a long, a lifelong struggle. once you get into this game. And if you want to try to reverse a cocaine addiction
Starting point is 00:08:37 or any of these other drugs, it is, it can be really difficult. And you fall back into these worlds over and over and over again. And this is not a guy who's honest. It's not a guy who seems to have any principles. It doesn't seem to have any moral foundation whatsoever. It's a guy who is in the middle of abandoning his most recent child. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Right? Like this is a... And doesn't even... won't even acknowledge. His dad won't even acknowledge that he has a grandchild. This is a terrible human being. I mean, when you talk about, you have a range of people that human society can produce.
Starting point is 00:09:15 This guy's on the very low end of it. So the idea that it might very well be his cocaine, you would think would be shocking for any normal human being, but he is not a normal human being under Biden. And honestly, the entire family seems to be in this, some version of this. But these are not good people, and it would not be at all surprising if it was one of the family members who did this. Think about how risky it would be as a normal person to walk into the White House and just bring cocaine, not do it in the White House, but just bring it with you on a tour.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I mean, it's insanity. Stupid. It's insanity. Nobody would do this. Now, a heavy drug user, you could say, hey, maybe a heavy drug user brings it in his pocket and forgets it, right? Like something like that could happen, right? We've seen this happen with people who might use firearms. But what are you doing, taking it out and laying it down somewhere?
Starting point is 00:10:13 What are you doing? Incanted that you'd leave it out somewhere. Crazy. Like, it's just impossible. Yeah. Unless, number one, you're trying, someone could be trying to troll the White House. I mean, it's possible. Okay, maybe.
Starting point is 00:10:23 It's possible. I don't know how. it would be so risky for that purpose though, right? Yeah, it would. Just because if you get caught with cocaine, you're going to get in trouble. You could get caught with cocaine cocaine in the White House. And what is the penalty for that if you're not a family member? I mean, you're going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if you're trying to troll the White House.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Sure. Yeah. So, I mean, the overwhelming most likely possibility is that this was a family member or some affiliated, a closely affiliated person in the White House. And they keep making this big noise about how they're going to be. They weren't there. And man, does it sound fake? Doesn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I'm not saying they were there. I'm saying, if let's just say this went down, what would you do? Number one, make sure he was out of town before you announced it before you quote unquote found it. Mm-hmm. Right? Or, you know, they keep saying, oh, well, we check all the time. Well, it got in there somehow. So even if you checked 24 hours after Hunter Biden left the premises, is that really?
Starting point is 00:11:25 something we should be excited about. There's no way they're checking as closely as they say they are if the cocaine got in there in the first place. Yeah, I know. And it's easy to imagine that he put it down somewhere and then realized later on that he put it down somewhere. And he couldn't remember where. Yeah. And so, you know, it's a 55,000 square foot home. So it could be in a lot of different places.
Starting point is 00:11:52 And you could easily not be able to find it. And somebody else could. And then, of course, you're at Camp David when it's found, so you had nothing to do with it. Right. Oh. Make sure it's found when he's not there, right? Boys and girls, that's how this works. Certainly, every one of these stories you have to be skeptical of now.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I mean, they have shown no propensity to give you any truthful information about this family, including the fact that they can't even acknowledge their own grandchildren. And it's despicable. It is a despicable group of people. I don't say that. Despicable. lightly. I think, you know, you would say, I'd like to believe the best about the president. I would. I mean, even though I think he's a terrible president and he's doing a bad job as president, I don't want to think of him as a bad guy. If I can help it. It does seem like this is just a bad group of people. Yeah. I do a lot of things that the average person you know would not do. White House spokesperson was asked about the grandchildren yesterday. Do you have that? Having a connection issue there? Yeah, we're having. We do.
Starting point is 00:12:55 have it. We'll have to come back to that. She was asked about it. All she does is does her stupid read, you know, she reads the answer. And she, and she, there was a story in your times over the weekend about 100 Biden's daughter in Arkansas. Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter? I don't have anything to share from here. Okay, so we got nothing to share from here. We're not going to acknowledge it in any way, shape, or form that there is a grandchild in Arkansas. We're not even going to mention it. We're not going to legitimize it. We're not going to talk to you guys. about it, we're not answering any questions about her. Repulsive. It's despicable. It's
Starting point is 00:13:29 really despicable. It's not this girl's fault. No. No, it's not. It is not her fault. She didn't do anything wrong. She didn't make Hunter Biden screw a stripper. That was not her fault. Oh, it wasn't. It really, you know. But that was beautifully put. But it's the way you should think about it.
Starting point is 00:13:47 It is. You know, I really think this is something that I think is vitally important when we think about life. When we're talking about the issue of life, which is the circumstances of your conception do not equal the value of your life. Right. It had what, how, whatever crazy act happened in some, you know, Alabama or Arkansas hotel has nothing to do with the value of this little girl. She is as valuable as someone who is conceived in the most beautiful of ways with all romantic music and candlelight on a honeymoon. It is, it is, there's no difference in the value of that life.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And they will not even acknowledge that this grandchild exists. Yep. It's disgusting. And he's been asked about it several times. Joe has been asked about his grandchildren and how many he has. And he will not acknowledge that there's at least six, right? I think it's seven. Is it seven?
Starting point is 00:14:51 She's the seven? She's the seven. So they're saying six. And the report said five to the kids that were asking him. So he doesn't even know. He didn't even know about the legitimate ones, let alone the illegitimate one. I believe it's seven now with the illegitimate one. But apparently that's been the case in the White House that when AIDS talk about this,
Starting point is 00:15:12 they are told to say there are six grandchildren in private conversations because they don't want to even acknowledge this poor little girl who had no. It was not her fault. She didn't do anything wrong. No. They, they, one of the, one of the, um, uh, parts of the legal ruling that went down the agreement between Hunter and this woman was that she could not use the Biden name. They didn't even want to, uh, they prohibited her from using her own last name.
Starting point is 00:15:45 This is how, these are, as I, did I say this? Terrible human beings. Terrible. outside of their politics, outside of the job they're doing to ruin your country, bad people. And then they tried to make that as if they tried to spin it as if that's for her own good. Oh, yeah. Because we don't want her to have to carry that baggage. Oh, BS.
Starting point is 00:16:06 They don't believe that. Okay. No, they do not believe that. The Biden family name is gold to these people. Oh, yeah. They think they're the candidates. Yeah. You know, they do.
Starting point is 00:16:14 They think they are an American icon. That's how the Bidens think of themselves. They think of themselves as an important family. As a royal family. In America. Yeah. And somehow we let them inside this White House, which they're turning apparently more white by the day. There's powder everywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:34 38-727B-E-C-K, more in one minute. Mike Lendell has specialized for years in creating the best pillows you've ever laid your head down on. And when I tried my slippers, I will say Glenn told me about these multiple times. And Glenn tells me things all the time. and I ignore most of them, including how great that my slippers were, because I was like, you know, I mean, he's talked about my pillow forever. They're probably good slippers, but whatever. I will say, when you get a pair of my slippers, you do notice the difference.
Starting point is 00:17:00 You put your hands or your feet, I put my hands in them because I was like, what do these things feel like inside? They're so soft. They're so cushioning.

Starting point is 00:17:55 Get those slippers for just 25 bucks. 10 seconds. Station ID. Yeah. This doesn't wear slippers, all right? Country's on fire and wearing slippers. Makes sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:09 At some point you've got to draw a line. Yeah. And when the country gets on fire, you're wearing slippers to work. That's how this works. It's better than bringing cocaine to work. Well, probably. I know.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Probably. Yeah. Speaking of the cocaine, Joe Biden was asked about the cocaine at the White House yesterday when he was sitting there. And reporters are, you know, screaming these questions at him. And here's what happened. As always, he sits there with that stupid look on his face. He won't answer that question, of course.
Starting point is 00:18:58 He, you know, he knows it's hunters, and he just won't, he won't admit it. Speaking of which, Hunter was caught wiping his nose a little bit, as if maybe he had just done a rail or two at a White House, get together, watch this. This is interesting. He's why, um, let me take care of that powdery substance above my, there we go. Okay. I mean, look, does that not look like he might be guilty? And look, it sounds insane, right?
Starting point is 00:19:28 That he would actually do this, especially in an event like this that was focused on quite a bit. People are like, you're bringing Hunter Biden to a state dinner? Like, what? But like, think about this from Hunter Biden's perspective. And maybe you're not getting this from conservative media. But I want you to think about this for one moment from Hunter Biden's perspective. his entire life is about elevating the risk and the high. His entire life has been, how do I go farther?
Starting point is 00:19:57 How do I push the envelope further? How do I do this crazy thing that no one else would do? How do I get the 11th hooker into the apartment tonight? Doing cocaine in the White House would be a massive high. Like, it would be the most exciting thing if you were a drug user that you could ever do. everyone's got their eyes on me. I'm going to go do it anyway. I'm going to do it in the White House. I don't care what my dad says. Right? Like that is completely in line with who this guy is. I don't know if it'll turn out that he was doing cocaine in the White House. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I will be surprised if he's never done it in reality, but will we catch him? I don't know. But I will say this is exactly the type of thing he would do. It is. For the reason that it's risky. You don't put part of the thing. of your body into that many people if you don't want risk. This is the Hunter Biden way. Look how much he filmed himself naked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I mean, all the time. That's why we know he was snorting coke off the bellies of hookers. Because it's filmed. And the only reason we have so much evidence about the stuff that he did is because he was acting so erratically. Like, these texts that were going back and forth are not the text of a person. person trying to cover up a crime. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:18 There are the standard messages that an insane person who wanted to get caught would send. And then that is part of the self-destructive behavior around drug use. He's constantly putting him in his situations of elevated risk. And that's the only thing that makes him feel alive. That's the Hunter Biden way. And you would think with his dad being president of the United States, he might conduct himself a little bit differently. But he doesn't think like that.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Like you mentioned, he thinks the opposite. Yeah. He wants the risk. He wants the high. He likes it. They talk about this all the time. When you get into these activities, all you can do is escalate. The old thing that you did, the four prostitutes in a hotel room, what is that going to do for you if you're Hunter Biden?
Starting point is 00:22:03 You've done it 100 times on video. So why not go the next step? And there is, I think, significant evidence that he likes to kind of, you know, go after his dad a little bit and make his life a little miserable. He feels like he's had, you know, been fairly or not, you know, been, he's had to give him too much money from all of these dealings. There's evidence of that in the text. I mean, I don't know, man. I don't think, I don't think it's crazy at all to think that this is where the same from.
Starting point is 00:22:32 There's some resentment there, it seems. Yep. AAA 727BECK. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. The Glenn Beck Program.

Stu, I know you're a huge Jill Scott fan. And, uh, well, I mean, I hate to say that. You know, because it's a relative term. A huge is compared to what, right? Mm-hmm. You know, it's a...
Starting point is 00:24:30 You just compared to something not huge. Right, but I mean, you know, a breadbasket, a nuclear explosion. What are we comparing it to? I would just say, who's Jill Scott? It would be another question I would have. It is? Yeah. So that...
Starting point is 00:24:43 Despite your huge fandom, you would still ask that question. Yes. Weird. Is this a real person? Like, for example, is it? Yes. Is it a person who exists in an American? today is someone of some sort of notoriety in some way.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And R&B singer that... Oh, yes, okay. Performed the national anthem at the Essence Festival. I know you frequent the Estes. The problem is my essence festival a lot in New Orleans. The luxury box we have is on the other side of the facility, so we can't see that main stage all that well. The luxury box faces the opposite direction?
Starting point is 00:25:20 I didn't design the, I didn't design the freaking festival. That just seems counterproductive. Yeah. Well, that's weird. Because you can get the, you know, those luxury boxes that have great views of the event. And then you have the one that are more for like, you know, you, they cost a little bit less. Yeah. Well, no, a lot of times they're more private.
Starting point is 00:25:37 They're away from all the riffraff, you know. And look, I've been to the Essence Festival festival every year for the past 25 years. Yeah. I've done it. That's why I'm asking you about it. I've been in the Mosh Pits. Yeah. You know.
Starting point is 00:25:49 And the Essence Festival Mosh Pits. Yes. Many times I've been down there. And that's a lot of fun. But you get to a point where, yes, you still want to be part of the event. You know, you want to make sure you see your Jill Scott perform the National Anthem or whatever that particular year. Or whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Or whatever. Whatever it was she did. And then, but then you also want to have a place to retreat. You know, maybe have a nice glass of wine. Yeah. You sit back, relax a little bit away from all of the real action. And that's what happens when your luxury box faces the opposite direction of the field. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:22 So that's a big. Look, again, I did not design the festival. No, right. I know. Makes perfect sense. I've had my problems with the way they've designed the staging. I've made that very clear to the people at the Essence Festival. And that is a bit of a point of contention.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I'm surprised you haven't mentioned it to us. It seems like, you know, that might be a point of contention that you might make to others as well. But I guess not. I don't want to seem too highfalutin. You know what I mean? Look, I've got a luxury box at the Essence Festival. That's the kind of life of life. And I don't want to brag about it.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I didn't want to bring it up. I tried to even deny I was a huge Jill Scott fan. Or James. Jamie's. No, it's Jill. You were right. Of course. And just to show you what you missed because your luxury box faced the opposite direction.
Starting point is 00:27:10 She made up her own version of the National Anthem. Oh, good. Yeah. This works out well usually. Had some other words in there. Oh, say. Oh, yeah. I do remember hearing this.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah. It's good. Out of the back of the luxury box. But in the street. Jose, can you buy the blood in the street? Right. Okay. That this place doesn't smile.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Uh-huh. On you, colored child. This is powerful or what? Disgraceful. Oh, I know. Who's blood? His blood built this land.
Starting point is 00:28:06 The land isn't built, really? No, just, you know, they're there. God. With sweat and their hands. So the hands were very slippery in an incident like that. Blood all over. Yeah, blood and sweat. But you'll die
Starting point is 00:28:24 in this place. You don't have to. You can move. And your memory. Erased. Your memory erased? Did you think about these lyrics? When did chat GPT come up with these? Oh say.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Does this truth hold? Anyway, no. No, no it doesn't. No matter how many notes you have to hit on that last word. Does not hold any weight, but wait is an important thing to watch. I will point that out. Land. of the free.
Starting point is 00:29:09 It's not the land of the free. She says. And but the home of the slave. Yeah. Wow. That was powerful. Yeah. Wasn't it beautiful?
Starting point is 00:29:26 That is the type of thing that really needs the Adam Sandler, Billy Madison treatment of, you know, everyone who's heard this has become dumber for listening to it. You are awarded no points. May God have mercies on our soul. Like that is the type of. reaction that deserves. That is so stupid. You know, again,
Starting point is 00:29:47 there are 194 countries. Yeah, go find one. Go find one. You don't need to die here. Go find one. Go find one to go die in another place where you probably die 25 years earlier because they don't have any medicine or you're murdered in the streets by some horrible riot
Starting point is 00:30:03 because the government's been overthrown. Go, go experience the wonders of the Uyghur death camps. You'll love it. I'm sure. I'm sure it's a wonderful thing. And there, if you sing that song, it will not be long until you have to wait for that treatment. Because there, they will not respect your right to be a complete idiot.
Starting point is 00:30:24 It's not that the really most salient point about this, any other nation on earth practically, you might be in jail after singing that song. Russia certainly. Many other, not any other, but many other nations. She doesn't have that kind of oppression here. She's got the kind of oppression where she's worth $12 million. For what? That's the kind of slave that she is.
Starting point is 00:30:49 She's only worth a digit slave. An eight-digit slave? 12 million dollars. You know, maybe her memory was erased about what slavery was because it wasn't eight figures of wealth. That I will tell you. That is not what the process was. I just,
Starting point is 00:31:02 this idea, this is just like the tough guy attitude, right? Like, I need to come out and I'm going to say these things. I'll show that. Show us what? Stop it. You're just. lying. You're just a big
Starting point is 00:31:14 fat liar. Literally. It was what I was going for. Yes, literally. And it's, it's, it's an embarrassment. It really is. It's, especially that the crowd is cheering it. And I said that to the other people in my luxury box. I was like, look, I don't think this is the right thing to cheer.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You did. Even though we happen to be facing the other way. You know, look, our luxury box is not actually pointed at the stage. But do you heard that? Those were not the lyrics to the national anthem. I tried to made that clear to everyone in my luxury box. Did the people in your luxury box understand that? Did they get that concept? They didn't seem to be as big of Jill Scott fans as I am, you know, which I was a little
Starting point is 00:31:54 disappoints. Like, if you're going to come to the Essence Festival and stay in my luxury box, I expect you to be a bigger Jill Scott fan. For sure. You know, and have heard of her, for example. Yeah. You know, but a lot of them hadn't, even though she's worth $12 million. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Look, it's one of the great things about this country is people who, are as idiotic as this woman can still make $12 million. I mean, I guess that's something you can say. You know, because there was a time where no one had it. No one had wealth like that. Maybe a couple of kings, you know? And now we're at a point where complete morons, complete and utter morons who know nothing about their own country's history can rise to those levels.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Yeah. Because of a little bit of an ability to sing with a very deep at times voice. That's a great. What a great sign. Our country is achieving wonderful things. In a time when we have the vice president of the United States, who is a black woman. Yeah. We're what, six, seven years away from a black president of the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:32:59 That kind of oppression doesn't usually happen. That sort of oppression. It's a twist on a traditional oppression story. Where you can hold the highest offices in the land. with the kind of oppression that we have foisted on you. It's interesting. That's an interesting form of oppression and slavery. It's a remix of the story from years past, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yeah, it is. You know, just not normally the way things go in a place where people are highly oppressed. No. Like, for instance, is there a Uyghur premiere of China right now? I don't think so. Do you think it would be notable? Would it be notable if there was? And I would say, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I would say very, very notable. It'd be a massive change in China, if that were the case, where there was a premier or a vice premier of the nation of China and they happen to be a Uyghur. People who were in slave camps. Yeah, I'd say that's a change. That's overcoming that oppression. But you don't see that. You just don't see that. What is it that keeps you here?
Starting point is 00:34:08 If you hate this country that much, where you're going to? to stand up at a major festival like that in New Orleans, Louisiana. The tickets were not cheap. I'll say that much. No, I'm sure they weren't, especially not in the luxury box. Exactly. But where you can stand up and sing a song like that and, you know, you're perfectly fine afterwards, I think that that kind of says a lot about the country in which you live.
Starting point is 00:34:33 But why are you in it if you hate it that much? You're going to stand there and you're going to spit in the face. of the vast majority of Americans who aren't going to appreciate this. And you obviously don't care because that such is your hatred for this country, that you're willing to do that. What are you doing here? Why do you live here? You know, you're not that far from Mexico.
Starting point is 00:34:57 You're not that far from Canada. Take a flight there and don't come back. How hard is it? And you might love it. You might. But I mean, I don't know. You might. Maybe you wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:35:10 You know? I mean, it seems like there's a bunch of complaints about everything, right? And I don't know. How many black presidents have there been of Canada? A lot. Not that many. Not that many. Let me see if I can find the answer here real quickly here. I'm just doing some calculations. You know, because we got the spreadsheet open. Yeah. It's a lot of none. None in Canada? No black. What about Mexico? How many black presidents have there been of Mexico? This is going to take a while, Pat. Because you're going to have to count them once they all come up. there on the screen. I got to carry this one.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Hold on one second because this takes a minute. It's a difficult calculation. There have been none. Oh, wait, wait, one of Mexican or African descent, Vincenti Guerrero from 1829, from April 1st, 1829 to December 17th, 1829. So that went well. He's, I guess, is celebrated as a national hero in Mexico. Okay. And he was black?
Starting point is 00:36:06 Yeah. And I guess this, would this be better than Barack Obama? I don't know. But, yeah, so we do have one. Okay. What about France? France. Black presidents of France.
Starting point is 00:36:18 England. England certainly has had black presidents. Right? You know, prime ministers. Yeah, prime ministers. Right. Exactly. Now, of course, what's interesting is they finally do have a person of color who is the
Starting point is 00:36:32 prime minister of the country and they hate his guts. Why? Because he came from the wrong party. But he's not, he's not black. He's from the, he's of Indian. descent. Yeah. So anyway,
Starting point is 00:36:43 that's, this is sort of the story in a lot of places you'll find and that's, you know, and that's just one part of the story,
Starting point is 00:36:51 of course. But it is amazing to see that this supposed oppression, which also often leads these celebrities to multi-million dollar fortunes. How can it occur?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Like, how bad are we at oppression? Pretty bad. Shouldn't we be better at it now after multiple? hundreds of years supposedly of doing it. We're almost as bad at oppression as we are
Starting point is 00:37:15 at insurrections. Yeah. Because we don't do that very well either. AAA 727BECK. More coming up. It's that important question. No one ever asked. As compared to what? As compared to what? As compared to some bizarre utopia you've created? Or as compared to reality? America's

Starting point is 00:41:10 So we're looking for a better country on this planet where, you know, things are much less oppressive. And that would be how many nations in Europe? because like all of them, right, have had black leaders, all of them. You know, Finland, we're hearing about Finland and Sweden and Norway all the time. All the time. They love their black leaders there. I know that.
Starting point is 00:41:34 France and England, you know, certainly Germany, you know, since World War II, okay, they've been fairly more enlightened than they once were.

Starting point is 00:41:56 We have number one is Marcelo Rebello de Sousa. The current president of Portugal is of partial African descent. So not partial. Okay. Okay. And maybe a mixed race situation. The current president of Portugal. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:10 And then in Russia, Sergei Bacch Pash was the president of Abkhazia, an autonomous region from 2005 to 2011. Doesn't count. And that's not Russia as a whole. Yeah, okay. And then also then there's no more in all of the history of the continent. So that's it. You got the one guy from an autonomous region. Neither one, both are partially of African.

Starting point is 00:46:21 comer. Right. Ah, boy. Christina Bayakova, 28-year-old vice president of a bank in Russia, fell from her window. her 11th story apartment window to her death on June 23rd. Now, I've tried to put out warnings multiple times to Russians to stay away from windows. They're just too clumsy to be near them and they keep falling out their windows. She was with a 34-year-old male at the time named Andre.
Starting point is 00:46:58 The man said he was invited by her to have some drinks at the apartment and then she walked out. out to the window, close to the window, and suddenly fell and died after having criticized the war in Ukraine. That's so sad. They get, I guess, really clumsy after that happens and intend to take tumbles out windows. She's just the latest. There was also Dan Rappaport, a well-known critic of Vladimir Putin, who was exiled from Russia. he was found dead after plunging from his Washington, D.C. luxury apartment building last August.
Starting point is 00:47:36 His wife says that was not suicide. Others claimed it was. Weeks later, Russian oil giant Luke oil chairman, Reveal Maganov, fell from a sixth floor window at a hospital in Moscow. Remember that one? We talked about that at the time. He fell out of a window at a hospital and died. before his death, he had been surprisingly vocal in his criticism of Putin and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Then in December, the creative director of an IT company, Grigory Kachanov, plunged from his apartment balcony and fell to his death while Russian authorities searched his apartment. That must have been really confusing to him. There's Russian authorities there in his apartment looking for things.
Starting point is 00:48:21 And then he's over the window tumbling out of it. I wonder if one of them tried to stop and help him grab him before he weirdly fell out of his window. The same month, the Russian sausage tycoon fell to his death from a hotel window in India, just two days after his friend also from Russia died at the same hotel in the same way. A Russian real estate tycoon also took a fatal tumble down a flight of stairs while in the French Rivet. era back in December. Earlier this month, a federal judge, Arturim Bartnev, fell 12 stories from his apartment building and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It's strange because some two dozen Russians, in addition to the nine I just mentioned, two dozen Russian officials and oligarchs have died under mysterious circumstances, and it has been named, the trend has been named Sudden Russian Death Syndrome. Oh, S-R-D-S? Yeah. It's a sad phenomenon. It really is. You know, gravity tends to win a lot of these battles.
Starting point is 00:49:34 When you get too close to those windows. And you've also combined that with some criticism of the war in Ukraine. Yeah. You just tend to get things that are slippery. Dizzy, you get dizzy. Yeah, a lot of dizziness. Those windows that's... I think you get lightheaded because of your criticism.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah. Or it could be the other way around. It could be that you get lightheaded and that's when you start the criticism. I don't know. Chicken or the egg in that case. Who knows? But it is interesting.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Of course, it's something to keep in mind as we talk about the Ukraine war and appropriately criticize our role in it at times. It is important to understand that Russia still is a disaster. There's nothing to cheer on. They are,
Starting point is 00:50:13 this is not a good group of people in the Russian leadership that do a lot of terrible things. And I think we get caught up a lot in understandably so, by the way, that, you know, our role in this is highly suspect at times. There's a lot of things going on there that are not good. We're spending a lot of money that we don't have in places all around the world that we shouldn't be spending.
Starting point is 00:50:41 You know, you can certainly make arguments that there are benefits to America from some of these things, but also there are a lot of criticisms to be made on our role and how expansive it's become. I honestly, like my major criticism is maybe different. I don't know from your take on this path, but like my biggest concern with this whole war is the people we have at the top actually making this situation not turn into World War III. I mean, Medvedev, the former president of Russia, was out in the media yesterday saying it is likely this ends in nuclear war. Jeez. Likely. Not like it's an outlier possibility, but it's likely.
Starting point is 00:51:24 that's how this ends. He's the president of Russia. He's Putin's right hand man. Not just some guy. Right. And That's incredible. That's an incredible statement. It is. I should get you the exact quote because it was, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:39 the, this is not he said, could use nuclear you know, we had some fireworks over the past few days, Pat, you may be going to prepare for more. Mavidav says Russia could use nuclear weapons to end war in a matter of days says
Starting point is 00:51:58 let's see in general any war even a world war can be promptly concluded either by signing a peace treaty or by adopting measures similar to what Americans did in 1945 when they deployed nuclear weapons and bombed to Japanese cities Hiroshima Nagasaki. They undeniably altered the course of military campaign then at the cost of nearly
Starting point is 00:52:18 300,000 innocent civilian lives. Of course this very pro-Russia or pro-American view from Russia. Yes, right. Sure. It's kind of scary, though. I mean, it is scary. The ex-Russian president Dimitri Medvedov also said a nuclear apocalypse involving Russia and Western nations is not just possible,
Starting point is 00:52:36 but also, quote, quite probable, end quote, quite probable. Quite probable. That's even, I guess, going even further than likely. Jeez. It's probably going to happen, according to Medvedev. No, again, Medvedev says a lot of stuff. It doesn't
Starting point is 00:52:52 mean this is going to happen, obviously. But like what I keep coming back to, the scariest outcome here is not us spending so much money even in Ukraine. It's not the corruption in Ukraine. That is a huge problem. It's not the Russians and how they act in this war. Those are all really terrible things and stuff we need to talk about. But the idea that the only thing between us and this quite probable nuclear annihilation is the competence of the Biden administration, and the restraint of Vladimir Putin.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Those are the two factors deciphering our fate at this point. I'm not sure which I have less confidence in. Right. Honestly, I have more confidence in the restraint of Vladimir Putin. Only because he seems to be able to go so far to really, really horrible, horrible places, but not, he hasn't crossed this line yet. The competence line has been crossed 100 million times. Look at Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:53:50 We obviously know the people in the Biden administration are not competent. We know that. And then they turned around and told us it was the best job they could do. Best they could do. Couldn't have possibly gone better in Afghanistan. And they're still saying that. They're saying they're proud of what happened in Afghanistan. It could not have been avoided.
Starting point is 00:54:10 That is their take on that situation, which we all know was an utter catastrophe. The most embarrassing foreign affairs debacle in my lifetime by a president. And they're saying it's the best. They're bragging about it today. So the fact that they could, I mean, the fact that we are currently sending multiple billions of dollars of weapons that are targeting Russian troops in Ukraine. And we have this sort of kind of kind of kind of. We're announcing every dollar we send over there. We're telling the Russians, we're helping with targeting, we're helping with weapons deployment.
Starting point is 00:54:48 We have strategy. We have some personnel that have, that are there. there are now tanks now there are weapons going off in Russian controlled areas across the lines into Russia all this is in my mind and I know there's some that would disagree with this
Starting point is 00:55:03 completely appropriate for Ukrainians to do they can absolutely defend themselves after this country invaded their territory they should do everything they can just as we would by the way if someone invaded us like this but we would not demand that every other country on earth
Starting point is 00:55:20 pay for it right right And so I have a real problem with a lot of that. And I think there's a lot of a lot there to discuss. But the fact that we are depending on the competence of Anthony Blinken, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden to hold the line to make sure we are able to keep Vladimir Putin from doing these things and turning this into World War III in his desperation. I mean, it is terrifying to think of that is where our entire civilization rests right now. At any moment, Vladimir Putin would be like, all right, you guys have been saying you're not at war with us. I think you are. Now, they're saying that stuff in Russia, but if they act as if we are actually at war with them, our entire civilization is turned upside down overnight.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I mean, literally everything we have goes into a state of flux immediately the second that happens. and all the stuff that we rely on on a day-to-day basis goes into question. So much of it is produced in countries that are now friendly. Thank you again, Joe Biden, with Russia instead of America. Or China. Or China, which is also friendly with Russia instead of America. So you have a situation where what happens to our supply chains, what happens to the future of the country, it is under-discussed. It's really concerning. It really is.
Starting point is 00:56:47 The lines that we're walking right. You're right. We don't talk about that nearly enough. One of the supply chain items, by the way, that could be cut off are prescription drugs. A lot of us are dead if that happens. Myself included. I mean, you are kept alive only by prescription drugs. Your body is made up of 84% prescription drugs. There's bone, there's some muscle density, and then mostly pills and injections.
Starting point is 00:57:16 It's true for so many people. And these are often medications people take on a day-to-day basis. I know. Think about that. Almost all of the pain killers are produced in China. Almost all of things like insulin and just every other life-saving medicine that you can think of. Mental health drugs. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Produced in China and India. And this is why I think the number one. priority. This is, I don't know that this is the most widely held take, but I have this. This is a legitimate stew take, which is our number one foreign affairs priority should be
Starting point is 00:57:59 improving relations with India. Yeah. Specifically, India. They are now the most populous country on Earth. They are actually somewhat friendly to Western values as far as capitalism goes. They're supposedly the world's biggest democracy. Yep. All right, let's take advantage of that.
Starting point is 00:58:15 It has been transformed from a country that had hatred at times for Western values to one that appreciated them. I've said this before. I'll say it again. The president of India and the Indian people liked Donald Trump more than Melania likes Donald Trump. They love the guy. And now they've sided with Russia and China. Like this should be our, now luckily, they showed some familiarity with this idea.
Starting point is 00:58:46 They had a big, you know, state dinner and Modi was in town. And it seems like they're putting some efforts into this, though I don't, of course, believe they're capable of maintaining this relationship. I don't either. But like China is China. We obviously know we're adversaries with them. Russia is another big power. We're obviously adversaries with them. You have a country with the manufacturing capabilities of India, a country that's actually somewhat friendly to our value system, at least at some level.
Starting point is 00:59:16 It's the most populous country on earth. It's growing faster than anybody else. This should be our number one foreign affairs priority. Yeah. Other than also, you know, standing up to what China is trying to do. Those two things work together very well. We should make them our buddies. No question.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Yet, what are we doing? We're turning them off. The Joseph Robinette Biden administration has done nothing more than, take that relationship, which was dirt strong under Trump, as strong as it's ever been. and completely... And would be again if he were to be elected
Starting point is 00:59:50 next year. Oh, yeah. Again, that's not to say that I approve of everyone of India's policies. There's all sorts of... You go through that for days and days and days.
Starting point is 00:59:57 You're right. He's huge in India. They love him. They love him there. Triple 8-27. Beck, more coming up in one minute. All right, call me crazy, but I, you know...
Starting point is 01:00:10 Look, we all know that occasionally people on this program, maybe that whose name is at the top of the program are called crazy all the time.

Starting point is 01:01:38 that had to be interrupted by boneheads again. Oh, jeez. This is getting so agonizing. Any big event now, especially in Britain, is going to be interrupted by these morons. Here's what happened. Guys about to serve.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Oh, man. Here they come. I'm not sure what it is. He dropped there on the court. Was it paint? It looked like it was paint, orange paint? But they cut away and just went to a shot of the stadium so that they didn't show this douchebag.
Starting point is 01:02:17 It's a ticket tape rather than paint dust, but it is an intrusion. Yes. And it will need sorting out. I love the British announcers. So great. And it would need sorting out. Yes, yes, it will. So he then went out to the net and just sat down at the net, but they removed him, which was nice.
Starting point is 01:02:41 I would prefer them going back to the idiots gluing themselves to things patterns they had for a while where they would just glue themselves to stuff and then it would embarrassingly fail. I liked that era. I think we seem to be, now they're just ruining stuff. And you know what? Just continue with play. Have the professional tennis player serve the ball. 150 miles an hour. Right into his face. Right into his face. Love it. How many times is he going to sit there? How long will he sit there? If a couple of balls directly in the face like that, that would be fun. I'm guessing he would move. I'm guessing he would move. I hate this. Did you see they did this at the hurdles recently too? I can't remember what country was in. But they were in the middle of a big hurdles race and the bunch of protesters ran out onto this track while they're running. While they're running and put up like a fake finish line that had like some dumb mess.
Starting point is 01:03:32 message. Again, does anyone ever know what the message? And we never know. No. No one cares. What is the message? And you're just pissing people off. Yeah. And one of the hurdlers is injured now. Oh, no. Really? They had to like pull up and like hurt their knee over this stuff. This is, you know.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Don't pull up. Run them over. Run them over. Put up, put their face in the ground. Especially if you're just running. It's the one, it is the one time where unmitigated violence is accepted. Like if I was watching this guy. Did you see this? This is. is a couple months ago now, a guy decided to propose to his girlfriend at, I think, Wrigley Field, and ran out, got out of the field, turned around, and he faced the crowd, and this guy leveled him under no other circuit. Maybe an active shooter, this would be appropriate force. It's that, or you're protesting a sporting event. You run out of the field, and they just
Starting point is 01:04:26 have free will to be able to absolutely obliterate another human being. And they did. You deserve every bit of it if you go out there. Yep. You do. I'm sorry you do. Especially when it's some stupid climate protest. Yes. Stop it. And again, you're not gaining any friends or followers doing this. Nobody at Wimbledon is like, hey, that was great. I loved it when you ran out and disturbed the match that I paid, you know, $850 to attend. Yeah. That was great. You're not making friends. And I will say you probably there make some paint dust onto a court, a grass court, the slipperiness of that. They probably, I don't know what they would even do to make that okay. Probably screwed things up.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Probably screws things up. And this happens over and over again. And these people go out there and do it. And it's like no one wants to support your cause because of what you've done. Nope. The opposite. Nope. They direct and utter opposite.
Starting point is 01:05:17 But, you know, these people are stupid. So what do you do? I think they should continue to glue themselves to stuff. Just glue themselves to stuff. And then you just leave them there. And you know what? Eventually, enough people just sit there with her hands glued to a floor and wind up being skeletons after two weeks. And they'll stop doing it.
Starting point is 01:05:35 But it's my guess. Yeah. It's also kind of funny when the police remove them in, it tears the skin right off their hands. Oxy day's his program. And it's just hurtful. We shouldn't. Oh, my gosh. No, it's mean.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Yeah. I'm going to go out on the limb here and make a bold statement. It shouldn't cost you an arm and like every time you want to throw some steaks on the grill. I don't know. It's a crazy idea. When you do, you should be. be grilling with meat that was sourced in the United States. Our farmers, our ranchers, they work hard for your business, and there's still the backbone of the American economy today,
Starting point is 01:06:04 our way of life. Eighty-five percent of grass-fed beef is imported from overseas, but not with good ranchers. They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches, and for every box ordered, Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need. It's over a million meals so far, so you can do good while you eat good. Head over to GoodRanchers.com. Use the code Beck for 30 bucks off any box. With Good Ranchers, you can feel good about the 100% American locally sourced meat you're putting on your grill and on your plate. Make this summer one to remember by starting it with American meat delivered to your door
Starting point is 01:06:38 from Good Ranchers.com. Now, if go to Good Ranchers.com and you use the code back right now, you're going to get that 30 bucks off any box at good ranchers.com. American meat, this is the best stuff you're going to find, and it's right here from America. Good Ranchers.com. The code is back. By the way, Glenn's new book, available Tuesday.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Coming up this Tuesday, go to glensnewbook.com and pre-order it. AAA 727 BECK is the phone number. Welcome to the program. Glenn is out for the next couple days. He's back, I think, on Monday. His book comes out on Tuesday, by the way. It's called Dark Future. It's a big deal uncovering the Great Resets, terrifying next phase.
Starting point is 01:07:31 It is really thorough. And if you haven't read this, the first book in the series, I think you can pick this one up here and still know what you're talking about. But you've seen so many people talking about ESG scores and all of these sort of concepts, the World Economic Forum, all of these things that maybe you don't, you've heard Glenn talk about. You don't know how all the background behind it. And even if you do have a really good background behind it, this is uncovering a whole new layer to it. It's called Dark Future. It comes out Tuesday. You can pre-order now and, of course, get the book on Tuesday in bookstores everywhere.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Dark Future by Glenn Beck that's coming up. Pat, you mentioned your 84, we were talking about you being 84% prescription drugs a moment ago. And I wanted to point out to the audience who might be listening on radio, you're listening to a very sveled Pat Gray these days. I mean, you want to talk about, can I just say, you're looking hot. You're a hot male. You're actually hitting on me right now. A little bit. A little bit.
Starting point is 01:08:33 I mean, I'm a little worried that Jackie could be listening. Uh-huh. You know, I'm hoping, uh, there we go. Like a little romantic, you know, it's, look. Yeah. I'm just going to be honest with you. Just dim the legs a little bit. Uh, but you've lost how much now?
Starting point is 01:08:48 Over 40 pounds? Mm-hmm. Over 40 pounds. I think about, like, 45. Probably. Now, this came after a pretty serious health scare. Yeah. Yeah, it did.
Starting point is 01:08:55 It came mostly from, uh, changing my diet completely, you know? And but then also, I think about the last 10 pounds have probably been helped along by Mongero, which is a miracle drug to me, by the way. It's like Ozempic. If you don't know what it is, Ozempic, Mongero, and there's a new one I think. What's that called? Wegovi is one as well. Yeah. That one's particularly for weight, specifically for weight loss.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Ozempic and Monjaro were for diabetes. But I think they're about to be, at least Manjaro, I think, is about to be a. prove for weight loss as well. And they do it either way. Believe me, the people over at Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk do realize that people are losing weight and are very excited about the possibilities of this beyond the diabetes benefits. It's probably going to be even a much bigger moneymaker for them just for weight loss.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yeah. Right? I mean, if you can just prescribe this for weight loss, it works. Because I don't know. It works in four different ways, I think. I don't know all of them. It helps you. I think it slows down the digestive system so you're less hungry.
Starting point is 01:10:06 That's one thing it does. And man, it does make, at least it makes me less hungry. I can eat maybe once a day. That's about it. That's incredible. Yeah. I mean, there's a little bit of a side effect of nausea sometimes, especially if you eat too much. Too much.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Yeah. Then that's not going to be good. That's not going to be good on this. But the thing it has done for me, I was on four injections per day of insulin. Four per day since February. I'm on no injections of insulin a day. And just one injection per week of Mangero. One a week as opposed to four a day.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Now, which one's better? Which one do you prefer? Do you like that? Believe it or not, the one one a week. Wow. Yeah. Oh, that's surprised. I like that a little bit, a little bit more.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Yeah. It really is incredible. And the fact that it has. Unbelievable. These benefits. You know, we've talked about this a couple times because I was following these studies as they were coming through. And they did these studies and they were super long term for a new drug. I mean, it was something like 68 weeks, I think was the Wigovi study.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Oh, wow. And it was, I think, I think, fifth. That's a long study. A long study for a new drug. That's what? Five years? More than five years. 68 weeks? We may need a little mathematics. Oh, weeks. Yeah, I'm sick in 68 months. Sorry. But it's a long.
Starting point is 01:11:39 It's still long. It's still long. Over a year. Over a year. And it, you know, shows you don't have the, obviously, like, you can never, anything that's new, you can never rule out super long. People get into those worlds where they worry about every long-term reaction. But, you know, you can never know. Unless you just want to never have a new drug. Maybe it'll rot out my intestines. A year from now. I don't know. But there's no signs of that. I mean, like the profile is very, and it's been available for diabetes for longer than six, much longer than 60 weeks.
Starting point is 01:12:08 It's been around for a long time for diabetes. So people have been on this for years and years and years now and have not had any serious side effects. But what's interesting about it is the first study they did was 68 weeks and people lost 15% of their body weight on average. 15% on average as opposed to the placenta. the placebo, which was like, you know, 1% or something. And then they ran the Manjaro studies. It came out as 22% of body weight. Again, you know, that's significant, right?
Starting point is 01:12:42 That's a lot of... That's huge. There's a lot of weight for someone who is overweight. Well, if you're 200 pounds, you know, you're going to lose 44 pounds? 44 pounds. Right. That's a ton. It's a ton.
Starting point is 01:12:52 And for people who are obese, you know, a lot of that ties into diabetes. has those, you know, nasty side effects. So curing this stuff, I mean, we are nearing the point here where we have essentially that cure for obesity. That is how impactful these drugs are to the point of like where, you know, the one thing that makes you, tell me if this has been an experience, Pat, but the one thing that they talk about where it, the one thing that makes you stop eating. Think about like when you're out there and you're Thanksgiving and you're just going
Starting point is 01:13:23 to town, you don't care, it's the Super Bowl weekend, you're just pounding food. there's only one thing that stops you, which is you hit that moment where you're like, I can't eat anymore. I can't eat anymore. It's not because you don't want to stuff more good tasting food into your mouth. Your body just tells you, good God, stop, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:41 This series of drugs, and there's several of them, make that feeling come right away when you start eating. So you eat, and it makes you feel that way. And so you just stop yourself. And you don't want anymore. You don't want anymore. Yeah. It's not like something that's a big difference.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It really is incredible. It's incredible. And they talk about it how there is a, you know, the OZemPEC and we go v. R one, like a version 1.0. And then the Manjaro, which is from Eli Lilly. That's like a 2.0. And there's another batch of these coming soon that it's like a 3.0 that they say is even more. Effective for weight loss? And they're coming in pills too, not just injections.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Oh, Jesus. This stuff is going to. That's incredible. Yeah. they did a recent poll that said 47% of Americans would like would like to be on these things
Starting point is 01:14:31 you want to talk about a big new market yeah and this is what we've all talked about right we've all talked about that like idea of wouldn't it be great if they just had this pill where you just eat what you want now that's not exactly what this is like I mean I you know because you you don't want to eat all the time
Starting point is 01:14:45 it's not like that it's not like a magic pill but it does control your animal instincts a little bit does and they're saying now that these drugs are showing effects in other categories of behavior.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Like if you have other addictions, it seems to help other addictions as well. Like what? Like, you know, smoking, for example. Really? Now, this is just like early studies. They would not say that it's going to cure your smoking habit. But like things like where you have
Starting point is 01:15:16 habits that you want to turn around. I think I've heard this. And obsession, compulsion. Addictive behavior. They're saying it just, because that's what everyone talks about is how it calms the way you feel, right? Like, it's, you don't have that I'm thinking about food all the time thing. There are people here that have lost 90 pounds on it, 80 pounds, 70 pounds, you've lost 40. I mean, now yours was a little bit different because you also had a big change in diet.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Yeah. But like, that's not even the case with a lot of these people. I know a guy who's lost 95 pounds on this stuff. And, you know, it's a person who travels a lot, who, does not, who, you know, he'll have a few drinks, he'll go to nice restaurants, like, it's living a lifestyle that you actually would want to live and still able to lose a lot of weight. It's really incredible. It really is. For all the beating that the pharmaceutical companies in many times, deservedly so. At times deservedly so. They do a lot of amazing things too.
Starting point is 01:16:16 And this is, and this is apparently made in America, right? Mungero is made in North Carolina. At least they they pumped $450 million into a plant in North Carolina. Yeah. Now they have. They're trying to because they've had all sorts of supply chain issues. Like they, it's, the demand is so high that. As you can imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Look, people don't want to be fatties if they can help it. You know, I mean, and so they. And you can help it now. You can. You can. Now. Incredible. I really is incredible.
Starting point is 01:16:46 I, you just think that like eventually this stuff is going to come, right? Like where. American ingenuity eventually will solve a problem like this. It doesn't seem like the type of problem that's not solvable. And, you know, it's been a hard thing. I mean, you see how much money we throw it, things like cancer and everything else. And look, these people want to cure cancer too, I think.
Starting point is 01:17:07 I know a lot of people are like, oh, they don't care. They want to keep these drugs going. And it's like, I don't know. I feel like there's a big economic incentive to cure cancer. Yeah. I think they want that money. Yeah. If you came up with something to cure cancer, I think you'd make a few dollars.
Starting point is 01:17:21 That's a big hard problem. And cancer is like they treat it like it's one thing. It's a lot of different things. It's hard. It's really difficult to make damage. When you're talking about something like obesity, it should be something we should be able to control. And now it seems like it might be, which is kind of amazing that we're on that precipice. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Of curing something like that. And we do have a promise from a guy, too. If I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes in America is we're going to cure cancer. Oh. You think I'm... That's interesting. You think I'm kidding. You think I'm joking.
Starting point is 01:17:56 I'm not. He's not. And that's why, of course, we built Has Joe Biden Cured Cancer.com. Because I wanted to keep a tabs on this particular campaign promise. Is it done now? Because it's been two and a half years. Are we there?
Starting point is 01:18:08 If you go to Has Joe Biden Cured Cancer.com right now, you will see the question asked. Has Joe Biden cured cancer? The answer right now is live, because there's a live counter on that to keep track of. every second of every day. The answer right now has Joe Biden cured cancer?
Starting point is 01:18:25 No. Oh, wow. Cancer still exists as of Thursday, July 6th. Yeah. Sad. It's an unfulfilled promise so far. So far, but it could happen at any time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:35 We don't know what kind of test tubes is. I mean, maybe that's what the cocaine was there for. Maybe it was an experiment. You know, maybe he was trying to cure cancer. And he thought maybe cocaine would do the job? Maybe. Maybe he's just trying all the substances he has around the house. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:18:47 You know? It's certainly a possibility. more legitimate possibility than Hunter didn't do it. Yep. So there you go. Triple 8-727B-E-C-K. It's Pat and Stouffer Glenn. Lenbeck program.
Starting point is 01:19:02 All right. Let's talk about our financial future, because that's always fun. By the way, they came out with the new job numbers today, and I think they said it was going to be like $220,000, and it was like $500,000. Like they missed by a ton, and it shows that what they are trying to do to stop all of this inflation is not working. I was listening to a New York Times report, Pat, when we were talking about the inflation numbers and they're like,
Starting point is 01:19:25 you know, inflation's coming down, the president's bragging about it. What does this really mean? And even the New York Times was saying, well, here's the thing. There were a couple big factors built into that, which were gas prices and like certain things like eggs and everything else that had weird, disruptions that really jacked up those rates. And the lowering these rates seem to have nothing to do with actual policy. It's just a few of these little factors that have come down at the same time,
Starting point is 01:19:49 which show improvement, but have not really been driven by any of the stuff they've done. And they don't seem to have any control of this whatsoever. If that scares you, which it does me, think about the way they're spending and think about where we are right now. Do you want to look at your financial future a little bit differently and think about gold and silver? Precious metals such as gold and silver have been the best hedge against the insanity that plagues markets from time to time.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Gold line wants to help make sure you've got some on hand. you wouldn't want to wait too long to make that call. But, you know, check it out. Make sure you do your own homework and understand all the ins and outs of this. This week in honor of the 4th of July, Goldline has a special on there. Betsy Ross, one ounce silver rounds. With every Betsy Ross one ounce silver round acquired, you'll receive the same one ounce Betsy Ross in copper at no additional cost.
Starting point is 01:20:41 This is from Goldline. You can get it now. 866 Goldline or go to goldline.com. It's 866 Goldline or Goldline. dot com. Glenn back. AAA 727 BECK is the phone number. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn.
Starting point is 01:21:10 I'm currently wearing my repeal the 16th Amendment shirt. Yes, there it is. Repeal the 16th Amendment. I think we should repeal the 16th Amendment. It is the income tax one in case you didn't know that. Our founders put into effect a system to make sure when we really screw something up, we can get rid of it. And that's what the amendment process is.
Starting point is 01:21:32 is. We can talk about, hey, let's lower federal income tax rates by 4%. And that'll be a really interesting discussion. How about getting rid of it completely? Repeel the 16th Amendment. Let's replace it with something that is not taking your money anymore in this way. We do not need to be spending all this money and we need to have a, we need to learn from the left a little bit. They go for big things. We're like, what if we could get the rate from 39.6 to 37 percent? What if we can do that? That's about how we operate. It is.
Starting point is 01:22:05 And I think, you know, we didn't, the founders plan this as a nation where it would be illegal to have a federal income tax. That's what they wanted. Now, they didn't get everything right at the beginning, but they got a lot of stuff right. And that one they got right. And we should not have something that incentivizes you not to work, not to earn, that punishes you for being productive. So let's repeal this. Let's get this out of here. I like that.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Repeal the 16th Amendment. It's available at stew doesmerch.com. Code is Stu does merch.com. So are you a fair tax guy? No. No. I don't want a federal. I don't want a sales tax either.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Okay. There's no reason we need to have, we do not have a revenue problem in this country. Okay? We spend too much. We do too much. This is a way to change that. If you want your state to be able to give you
Starting point is 01:22:55 all sorts of crazy benefits on top of the basic things the federal government is supposed to provide basic, then you can have a state that has a state tax that does that. You can see you can. And you can vote those people in and out as you please. You can have California. You can have 85% tax if you want. Go ahead. You can give everybody, you can run a socialist country completely over there. You want to have a state that runs as a socialist country, do it. It's interesting how socialist countries in several cases have lower tax rates than we do. Yeah. Which is frightening and ridiculous. and insane.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Russia, I think. The last I heard of their flat tax was 13%. 13%. That's incredible when we're paying what we're paying. And then you're hit
Starting point is 01:23:41 with double and triple taxes. And then at the end of your life, once you've accumulated wealth and paid taxes on it your entire life, then you get to give half of your estate to the government after you die instead of to your children. It's a real fair system.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Yeah, it's great. it's, they did a good job for that. Yeah. Just keep hitting you over and over and over again, brutalizing you financially your entire life. And then when you die, they hit you again. Yeah. It's immoral.
Starting point is 01:24:08 It is. All right. More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up. Right now, of course, you're listening to this program, and you might be asking yourself, what makes Stu sound so confident? Is it his membership in the Radio Hall of Fame? And I'd point out, no.
Starting point is 01:24:29 I actually, I'm not in it. Somehow, the guy who hosts this show is in the Radio Hall of Fame, none of us understand why. Pat, do you understand why? No. No, I do not. No one knows. Nobody knows. No one knows. Here's this big, sweaty mass of a man who is somehow on the Radio Hall of Fame. And now you might say, well, wait, he doesn't look that sweaty. I was watching the show recently. He didn't look that sweaty. Well, now he's got sweat block. He's cheating now, because sweat block is the best sweat protection that you can get. And so they had these magic wipes. I don't know if they're actually called magic wipes,
Starting point is 01:25:04 but the way Glenn describes them, they do seem like magic, which basically you don't even have to use them every day. It's like, what is it, once a week or something? I don't know, it's incredible. Even Jeffie's had, but, I mean, Jeffrey was a ball of sweat all the time. He uses sweatblock, and it works for him. That's the biggest testimonial you could ever have. Right now, use the code Beck at sweatblock.com.

Starting point is 01:26:26 With Pat and Stu today and tomorrow, Glenn will be back on Monday. Then, of course, his book, Dark Future, debuts on Tuesday. So don't forget that. and if you'd like to get a copy, you can go to glensnewbook.com. All right. We've got some touching, really beautiful information from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Really nice. Powerful.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Powerful stuff. I think you're going to like. And some incorrect information from Supreme Court justices who are writing dissents to some of these new rulings that have come on. What? We'll get to that and lots more in one minute. So let me ask you a quick question. Where are you right now in terms of debt? Talking about long-term, difficult to get out of type of debt.
Starting point is 01:27:20 The type that has, you know, credit cards that are always producing that type, you know, 20% interest, crazy stuff like that. A low-interest mortgage refinance might be the thing for you to get out of underneath something like that. But you've got to be cautious. You can get burned if you're not with the right loan company. This is why you need to reach out to American financing. They're saving homeowners an average of $700 a month right now. Their salary-based mortgage consultants will start with a free, no obligation, savings review, and they could help you close out on the cash-out refinance of your home's mortgage,
Starting point is 01:27:52 which could help get a leg up on all that debt. The credit cards don't go away by themselves. You need to do something with American financing. They have custom loans to fit almost everyone. So don't worry about your credit. Check them out today. See what I mean. This is something, this is a company I've worked with a couple times.
Starting point is 01:28:09 and had great experiences with, I think he will as well. Americanfinancing.com, 800906, 2440, 800906 2440, or Americanfinancing. Dot net. It's American financing.compancing. NMLS, 18, 23, 34, www. www. NMLS Consumer Access.org. So, Eric Adams, been carrying around a photo of a police officer in his wallet within wherever he goes for years, right? Just throw this out there like nothing. This is something that was crucial to his story is his soul. He bared his soul to the New York.
Starting point is 01:28:47 I think it was the New York Times. He is a former police captain. Campaign is a Democratic crime fighter. Quickly sought to humanize killings that happened back in the day. Two New York police officers were killed during domestic disturbance in Harlem. This is back in 1987. The loss of the officers reminded. him of the
Starting point is 01:29:12 1987 line of death duty of a friend, Officer Robert Venable. I still think about Robert Mr. Adams said at a news conference City Hall. I still keep a picture of Robert in my wallet. Wow. I mean, that's just meaningful. That's powerful. You can tell. Yeah. This is a close friend who's killed.
Starting point is 01:29:29 He's held on to this picture all this time. For a long time? Since it's 1987? Yeah. That's important. I mean, it was a close friend who died past. So yeah. That's exactly what he did. A week later, after this incident, Mr. Adams posed for a portrait in his office holding a wallet-sized photo of the officer after the New York Times had requested to see it. Mr. Adams has since repeated the moving anecdote in media interviews. And at a police academy ceremony last June, where he displayed Officer Venable's picture.
Starting point is 01:30:01 This is an incredible story of an honorable man who's running the city of New York. Gosh, it sure is. Sure is, too. Just to be fair, just to point out the fairness here, I should probably tell a little bit more detail on this. All right. I'm sure it deepens the appreciation that we'll have for Eric Adams. It may. It may, depending on your perspective.
Starting point is 01:30:25 Like if you're Hunter Biden, you probably think this is a really good development. Here's the thing. The weathered photo of Officer Venable had not actually spent decades in the mayor's wallet. It had been created by employees in the mayor's office in the days after Mr. Adams claimed to have been carrying it in his wallet. Oh my gosh. The employees were instructed to create a photo of Officer Venable, according to a person familiar with a request. A picture of the officer was found on Google. It was printed in black and white to make it look worn.
Starting point is 01:31:06 and as if the mayor had been carrying it around for some time, including by splashing some coffee on it, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. Two former city hall aides who asked not to be identified said they were informed about the manipulated photo last year, not long after it was created. A spokesman for the mayor did not dispute that Mr. Adams had shown the photo to the Times
Starting point is 01:31:31 and at the police ceremony that had been recently created by a city hall aide. how despicable is this? Very. He supposedly cares about his fallen friend. Yeah. And lies about carry. Now, they're saying that he, well, he did carry a photo.
Starting point is 01:31:46 I didn't have it with him anymore. Used to have one wrong with them. And they had to recreate it so people, they're trying to find a way out of this now. But they've been caught by the New York Times, apparently, where this was just made up, where they made up a photo
Starting point is 01:32:03 and splashed coffee on the face of a fallen off. My gosh. Intentionally to make it look like it was an old photo. Pathetic. And of course, for weeks, the media ate it up. I mean, it's not exactly, but it is amazing that they made the effort to catch him in this lie. Well, yeah, he's been carrying it around for 36 years.
Starting point is 01:32:26 36 years. That's pretty important to him. And then he just manufactured it a few days later. Yeah. After he said he'd been carrying it around. Yeah. The spokesman for the mayor's office criticized the New York Times for what he characterized as a campaign to paint the mayor as a liar. Wow.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Imagine having the balls to make that statement after all this. Hey, come on guys. You guys are seizing on this. You're pouncing on this to make him look like he's a liar, even though what he said was a lie. And he is a liar. Well, yes. But you're making him look like one. Well, yeah, because he is a liar.
Starting point is 01:33:04 So. Now, they also mention here, and tell me if this is at all familiar with any other public figures you might know. As mayor, Mr. Adams frequently shares personal recollections, helping him connect to his working class base. Many of his stories are difficult to verify, and at times he has been caught stretching the truth. The mayor, for example, said he was vegan before being forced to admit that he eats fish. He said that a story that he told in a 2019 commencement address, about intimidating a neighbor was true, but acknowledged it did not happen to him. Now, that's not true.
Starting point is 01:33:41 If I'm going to say, hey, Pat, I was the first president of the United States, that's a true story and that it happened to someone. Right. That doesn't make it a true story because I'm telling it about myself. That is just like, that is just like Joe Biden. How many stories does Biden tell? It just aren't true. I mean, Eric Adams looks like the most honest man in the world compared to Joe.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Biden. Yeah. Yes, he does. They did bring up as well. Mr. Adams also recently has claimed to have sold his stake in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn where, and then he was contradicted by his own financial disclosure forms that shows that he still retains ownership. But this one is, you know, it's one thing to like to lie about, you know, something like your financial interests. We see, you know, Joe Biden has gotten away without a million times. When you're talking about the death. of a police officer and how much it means to you and how you've been carrying this picture for 40 years in your pocket. And it turns out they printed it out off of Google and spilled coffee on it intentionally to make it look old. That is despicable. It is. Despicable.
Starting point is 01:34:49 This has not been good. Now, is it better than de Blasio in New York? I'd argue probably yes. De Blasio is also in the news this week. He is for his open marriage. Yeah. Or whatever they're doing. I guess they're not getting divorced.
Starting point is 01:35:02 No. But they are separate. in the same house. So he's married, if you remember the story, he's married to a woman who claimed to be a lesbian, right? At one point. At one point. I don't know if she still is. And they, he was very, you know, if you know, Bill de Blasio, he's a very boring looking white guy.
Starting point is 01:35:21 Yeah. And he's married, it's a mixed marriage. And they have a mixed child. And that was something that he promoted heavily in his run for mayor. When he, he was, he used this kid as a prop constantly. That was like the central part of why you should elect Bill de Blasio because I guess he has a black son. So that means you're supposed to elect him or something. And he was a terrible mayor, obviously a socialist and just a complete disaster for the city of New York.
Starting point is 01:35:46 That's all very well known. But the relationship is very weird. And I don't know what's more offensive to me. They decided they're going to split up but stay together. They're going to date other people while living in the same home while separated but remaining married. And all that sounds really, really confusing, but perhaps the most confusing part about it is they apparently called up the New York Times and did a three-hour interview on their plans. Now, no one cares about what Bill de Blasio's plans are when he wanted to run for governor and Congress. No one cared.
Starting point is 01:36:18 Why the hell would they care about what he's doing in his stupid relationship? It's bizarre. Why would you even take his phone call if you're the Times? But they did. That was important to cover. They're not going to tell you about, I don't. know who's doing cocaine in the White House. They're not going to tell you about, you know, all the stuff that's going on with the Biden family and the, like the WhatsApp messages that are going
Starting point is 01:36:43 back and forth between Hunter Biden and Chinese officials. And the pen 10 million dollar payments to the Biden family. Yeah. They're not going to talk about that. They're not going to, I mean, and even if they do talk about it, and I should say, occasionally the stuff has been reported by the Times and other sources. Very little, though. When they first, when they first admitted the whistleblower story from the IRS. they put it on page 15A. Yeah. And so did the post.
Starting point is 01:37:07 After months and months of denial. Right. Then it's on, okay, yes, it is true. And it did happen, but it's on page 15A. Okay. They have hit the fact that he's gone through this custody battle with Joe Biden's granddaughter that he will not acknowledge. And you saw yesterday, we played the clip earlier of one reporter asking
Starting point is 01:37:26 Corinne Jean-Pier, hey, what's going on with this? Why is going to acknowledge his own granddaughter? And that's a good step one. But like when a Republican is in one of these controversies, the difference between what the press does and what they do with is a Democrat is they actually get answers. They press and press and they get outraged that they will ignore the question. Corinne John Pierre just was like, oh, we have no new information on that. Well, get some. What else are you doing with your day other than wearing your 1,000th outfit that you've never worn a repeat of the entire time?
Starting point is 01:37:59 Her clothing budget is bigger than our military budget. That's a fact. Close to a fact. It's probably true. It feels true. And that's the most important thing. It does. It feels and looks.
Starting point is 01:38:11 It feels and looks true. Every day. Yeah. Another designer outfit. How much? What is the budget? I just got to know what the budget is for her clothing. I've got to know it.
Starting point is 01:38:20 Just because it's incredible. But that's a whole other situation. She's obviously terrible at her job. Every answer she gives is, well, we don't know. We have no information. No new information on this. Well, you know, maybe a journalist should try. maybe next time you're sitting in the same room with Joe Biden,
Starting point is 01:38:35 you make him walk out of the interview until or answer the question, do you have a seventh grandchild? Make him stand up and walk out of the interview instead of answering that question. Right. I mean, I know it's not the most important thing in the world. I got it.
Starting point is 01:38:53 But like, it is, it just sells a hell of a lot about a man's character if he won't even acknowledge his own grand kid. If it's, if it was Donald Trump, They would push that every day all day. What about your son's grandchild that you won't acknowledge? Why won't you acknowledge that grandchild? That's all you'd hear.
Starting point is 01:39:13 Yeah. That's all you would hear. And it would be the most important story of every day to the press. Yeah. And like, look, it's not the most important thing when it comes to world events. But man, it is a really important thing when it comes down to the character of a person. You know, you say, you can easily say if you're Joe Biden, Look, my son got into a lot of messy behavior, but that's not this little girl's fault.
Starting point is 01:39:37 She's my granddaughter. I love her. I want her to be at every event with our family. You know what I mean? Even if you don't mean it, you could at least say it. Yes. You know, he's not even acknowledging she exists. Right.
Starting point is 01:39:50 It is pathetic. And he's specifically been asked how many he has. And he has specifically ignored her. Completely. Yep. So, yeah, they're just bad people. They are. And to go back to the press side of this for a second, Pat, the follow-up needs to be there. Right. Like, at this point, we now have this WhatsApp message that went back and forth, hey, I'm sitting here with my dad and he wants to know where this money is.
Starting point is 01:40:18 You need to wire it right away. Or he's going to hold a grudge against you. I'm going to hold a grudge against you. He's going to make sure that everybody he knows holds a grudge against you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is on record now. we have to get the president in the United States at the very least to admit that his son was using his name for influence who was if he wants to accuse his son of lying in a drug-induced haze I'm okay with that for the moment
Starting point is 01:40:44 because we have to get to that step before we get to the next one we have to confirm that he is acknowledging that his son did these things even if he's saying he didn't do them because until we get over that hump, we can't get to the next one.
Starting point is 01:41:00 Right. We need to get him on record lying about this and saying he knew nothing about it. Then we'll get the next set of messages that prove he did know something about it, right? But we can't get there because the press asks this question. They either won't ask or they'll ask and get a, well, we have no new information about that. And stop. Right. Why are you stopping there?
Starting point is 01:41:20 Your whole job is to keep going when they give you that answer. and that was the goal of every journalist that I ever saw, you know, profiled in a movie that overturned Watergate and all these. That was the goal. You got to that brick wall where the person at the White House was telling you there's nothing here. You're crazy. I don't know what you're talking about. And you kept going. And it's the exact opposite of what they do now.
Starting point is 01:41:46 They stopped the second Corinjean Pierre says, yeah, I don't have anything. Well, follow up. Get it from somebody else who isn't an idiot. have something. When will you? What's the date? When do we get this information? Yep. Who are you going to refer us to? We're going to go there. We're going to find out. We're going to make a big deal about it. We're going to put it on our front page until they answer it. And pressure and pressure and pressure and pressure and maybe they will. AAA 727. Beck, more coming up in one minute.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Well, you've worked pretty hard for the money you've made over the years. You've probably been fiscally responsible, saving money where you can, not living beyond your means like the government does. but year after year and month after month you watch the value of the money you have moving in a wrong direction. You know that things aren't looking good at all for the US dollar in general. The numbers that came out today were a disaster. They do not have this inflation thing under control at all.
Starting point is 01:42:34 They're lying about having it under control because of their policy. It's not true. You've got to do your own homework, but you do need to check out Goldline.

Starting point is 01:43:16 10 seconds. Station ID. Did you see this interesting story on the United Nations and the emergency powers they're trying to seize over the United States and every other nation on Earth? In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the U.N. will host a landmark summit of the future where member nations will adopt a pact for the future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping. our common agenda platform. Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the UN plan for a new emergency platform,
Starting point is 01:44:13 a stunning proposal to give the UN significant powers in the event of future global shocks, such as another world pandemic. Did we not learn our lesson? I mean, obviously we did not. I think we did, but yeah, well. Well, yes. They did not. Did our administration learn anything?
Starting point is 01:44:34 No, they did not. Once triggered, the emergency platform would give the UN the ability to actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the center of its work. The UN would bring together the stakeholders of the world, including academics, governments, private sector actors, and international financial institutions to ensure there's a unified, Global response to any crisis. Yeah, this is interesting. Here's what this would include. They can declare these emergency powers. In the event of a major climactic event,
Starting point is 01:45:16 a future pandemic risk, a global digital connectivity disruption, a major event in outer space, like I guess, aliens. or comets, meteors, that kind of thing. And this really great one, unforeseen risks. Oh, okay. So they can declare emergency powers if there's an unforeseen risk.
Starting point is 01:45:44 I love this. Yeah, on the globe. You can't write bills like that. We've learned this, if anything, from the 2003 Heroes Act. The Heroes Act, which was designed for military members who were in the middle of a you know, a terrorist attack. Let's say there's a terrorist attack that goes on. We need to go to war with almost no notice, like what happened in September 11th. They passed a bill to say, hey, you know, these guys who are in the military, they should be forgiven these loans in these
Starting point is 01:46:13 situations because they have no way of working around the schedule that we've just presented them, right? They can't work second jobs. They can't work on the weekends. They, you know, they're called into active duty with no notice. We can't expect them to pay these things back. we'll forgive those loans. And the way it was written was in case of a terrorist attack, in case of military emergency, in case of war, national. And then it had a little thing at the end. It was like, and another and other national emergencies.
Starting point is 01:46:42 And that was the justification they used to forgive all student loan debt, $400 billion at least through this student loan debacle. Now, luckily the Supreme Court caught it this time and said, no, you can't do that. but this is the type of stuff that gets manipulated later on. Yep. Yep. Let's come up with what this lesson is. And if anything, you should be going the opposite way saying they cannot do this.
Starting point is 01:47:04 We just learned our lesson from COVID. Instead, they're doing the opposite. The Biden administration is going along with this. The Glenn Beck program. Of course. If you look in the mirror and you see some dark spots you don't like so much, maybe you need to do something about that. They don't tend to go away on their own.

Also on social media at Pat Unleashed on Twitter, Instagram, and threads. It's Pat and Stu on the Globet program. This is amazing because that many people, especially famous people, people, people from the NBA, people from the entertainment world. They don't say things like this. But Gilbert Arenas is talking about how The radicals in the LGBTQI plus plus community, how they operate. Here's what he had to say. This is amazing.
Starting point is 01:49:12 The LGBT, right? I think it's the most unfair group walking the planet right now. How's so? They have a playbook that only they are playing by that they can only see. No one else gets to see this playbook, but we're being judged by everything that's in this playbook, but we don't know it. So it's like there's no open dialogue. right? There's no open dialogue
Starting point is 01:49:34 about what is appropriate, what's not. We only find out after we fuck up. That's unfair, right? That's unfair. You can't do that. You can't, you can't, how do I know something's wrong? Give me an example of what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:49:48 Just words, phrases, like he, she, they wait. We don't, how do we know you're making it up as you go? And we don't, it's not like that's what I said. It's not like there's this dictionary of updates and we can sit there
Starting point is 01:50:01 and click it and say, all right, oh, I can't say, oh, I can't, they took this out, right? They added this in, we're just learning. Oh, yeah, right? And that's really unfair that you can cancel somebody on a playbook that only you have here, right? Like having an argument with someone from the LGBT. So, suicide, right?
Starting point is 01:50:21 Here's why. They have the whole dictionary to use against you. Right? They say whatever they want. they can technically make a straight man gay by saying, hey, you look like a gay guy. You look like this and call you all kind of gay words, which is technically offensive, right? To a straight man. As soon as I say something back that's gay, I'm canceled now.
Starting point is 01:50:48 Wow. That's funny. He's like, because you can't have an argument with these people as he's having an argument with these people. Right? Like he is in the middle of exactly the thing he says is going to get him canceled and it's likely to see it happen. Yes, he is. hit now. He will be enemy number one. Gilbert Arenas, who's a really good basketball.
Starting point is 01:51:04 I mean, a great, great score, a great offensive player. People forget how good he was. The average almost 21 points a game during his career. Yeah. And it was derailed by injuries. He was averaging 28, 29 points a game before the injuries hit. Man. He was really one of the best offensive players in the league.
Starting point is 01:51:21 People forget how good he was. But to hear this, someone like him talk about, this in this way. It's obviously like raw. And you know, you go back and this is obviously true. I remember the Patton Oswald, the comedian who's, he even says, I'm a huge progressive. I'm a big, I'm the biggest liberal. I'm the biggest ally in the world. He's like, but I can't keep track of your terms. You know, it's impossible for people to do this. What are these rules that you don't, they're, if you want to follow them, I don't want to follow them. What I want to follow is the truth. What I want to follow is, I want to be respectful to people.
Starting point is 01:52:03 People are different. They have different beliefs. They do different things. I don't care. I really don't care. I don't want to have anything to do with, you know, worrying about what you're doing in your bedroom. You do what you do, assuming it's legal. That's my only line for you.
Starting point is 01:52:17 Make it legal. And then you do what you do and I don't want to hear about it. That's my line. But a lot of people want to say, I want to help you. I want to be on your side. I want to bend over backwards to acknowledge every little thing you're doing. and yet you still cancel us. I mean, his point in the monologue, Patten Oswald,
Starting point is 01:52:34 who, again, he's, he would, he hates everything about conservatism. He is a big time liberal. What are you saying? They're even trying to cancel RuPaul over this. RuPaul, who is a cross-dresser, a drag queen, I guess, I don't know what the right,
Starting point is 01:52:48 again, I don't know what the right term is. After, drag queen, certainly is appropriate with RuPaul. But this is the person who, trailblaze all of this, was like, you know, every, taking,
Starting point is 01:53:02 doing all this stuff when no one would do it and then he says the word tranny and they're trying to cancel him because he's not, he's not allowed to use the word tranny. Again, I understand that like,
Starting point is 01:53:14 you can use that in an offensive way, but this is a guy who's built his career on being a drag queen. Right. He, you'd think he'd be allowed to say this. You know,
Starting point is 01:53:22 I saw this story the other day with the Nathan's Hot Dog contest, you know, what's going on? And, uh, Joey Chestnut won it again, 16th time, I guess. But did you know that up until 2011 there wasn't a women's competition?
Starting point is 01:53:36 It was a combined event. And only in 2011 did they separate it into a women's competition. Now, I don't care about the Nathan's Hot Dog contest at all. But like, just looking at that, as recently as, you know, Barack Obama's president in the United States, right? This is not old-timey history. We were going the opposite direction. They were like, obviously men cannot compete with women in this event. let's separate it, right?
Starting point is 01:54:00 Now we're like, I don't know. Now it's not all the men. If they say their women, let's let them compete there. Like, this stuff is gone so crazy, so quickly. You go back and you look at comedy from the mid-2010s, and it's stuff that they would never even attempt to do today. And it's embarrassing for a lot of these people. I'm glad Gilbert Arenas is speaking out.
Starting point is 01:54:22 Yeah, me too. Say it. And he did. And he did. And he did. It's just really unusual to hear. but it's kind of refreshing because nobody will say it anymore. Nobody will say it.
Starting point is 01:54:32 It's just too dangerous and you get canceled. But hopefully, Gilbert Arenas has made his money and he's not going to be in the poor house once he gets canceled. Hopefully he's got enough in the bank that's stashed away that he's going to be okay no matter what happens to him. He certainly should. He made some money in his career. He signed his first deal was paying about $8 million a year. His first deal? Yeah, so his first rookie deal, he made a cup few hundred thousand for a first two years.
Starting point is 01:55:01 His first real deal, though. 2003, 2004, 8.5 million, then 9.3, 10.2, 11.1, 11.9, 14.6, 16.1, 17.7. Then he actually somehow, late in his career, signed a $19,000, $20,000, $22 million contract. Whoa. So 13 seasons estimated earnings $163 million. Yeah, you should be able to get by on that. He's doing okay. You should be a, you know, if you're not really stupid, you could get by on that and so good your children and your children's children and their children.
Starting point is 01:55:34 Yeah. Now, of course, it's still oppression as we learned from the lady at the Essence Festival. Seriously. You know, I think it was the essence. Whichever festival I was at. Yeah. We talked about this earlier. You don't remember what festival you were at?
Starting point is 01:55:47 You know, I go to so many festivals, Pat, that celebrate the diversity. The one in New Orleans where you have the luxury box that faces the wrong way. The essence festival, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's the one. Yeah. It doesn't face the stage, unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:55:57 It's a cheaper luxury box. It's not a big deal. But she sang the National Anthem to convince us that, you know, this was the land of the slave instead of the land of the brave. My gosh. And that attitude permeates many people in the NBA. I don't think Gilbert Arena shares that view, but it's the Colin Kaepernick view. You know, it's this view that you go out there and somehow you're, while everyone who comes to watch you play makes one. 1,000th of what you make, you're the one that's oppressed.
Starting point is 01:56:27 Yeah. That's the view. Well, you look at the life of you bring up Colin Kaepernick. I mean, the guy has to get by on these Nike contracts to pay him $20 million a year. Who can do that? You can't. You can't. You can't make ends meet on $20 million a year.
Starting point is 01:56:42 He doesn't have an NFL salary. Now, what about the Netflix money he gets on top of that and all the other dumb endorsements he gets? Do you think he can make it there? No. Not 20. Maybe it gets up the $30.40 million? Probably not. Probably not. enough for Colin, the anti-capitalist, who is slavery.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Legitimately now talking about how capitalism is the evil. Capitalism is evil. He's a legit socialist slash communist, right? This guy is not, he's not even a liberal. It's not even right to say he's a Democrat. He is, of course, is much more that way, but he's essentially a socialist. And at the same time, as most socialists do, they will take advantage of the perks of capitalism if they can have them.
Starting point is 01:57:22 You know, people in China are communists, but in the leadership, but they also will take advantage of capitalism and give themselves very nice lifestyles. Yeah. They don't mind taking advantage of that stuff when they can have it and still justify their power through communism or socialism or whatever else. And this is what's, this happens all the time. We saw this in the, you know, the WNBA. There's been players recently who have been talking about this as well, how, you know, the oppression is there and it's so real. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:57:55 do you have any idea what the people who fought for the rights that you have? And I'm not even talking about like the founding fathers because I'm a conservative. I'm talking about like African Americans in like the 60s who legitimately had stuff to really complain about. Not how great their charter flights were to their WMBA games. But I'm talking about real things, real problems. There were real problems in the society. many of which we fixed.
Starting point is 01:58:24 This is not a perfect country, but again, as compared to what? It's the best one you're ever going to find. And if you can't be happy here, you probably can't be happy anywhere. Maybe it's you. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:38 You ever stop and think about that for a second? Maybe it's you. No, they don't stop. Maybe it's your fault. They do not. Maybe you're just a sad and pathetic person that will never be happy with anything in their entire lives.
Starting point is 01:58:48 Maybe it's you. A lot of people, a lot of African Americans, ways to be happy in this country. Maybe it's on you. So you're saying Jill Scott who sang the...
Starting point is 01:59:01 Maybe it's your version, Jill Scott. Of the national anthem. It might have been her. Might be her. Might be her. And that's what I yelled out of the back of my luxury box at the Essence Festival. It's maybe you? Maybe it's you, Jill. You know, there's plenty of people who in this country that have
Starting point is 01:59:18 similarly colored skin as you do and find themselves quite happy in this nation. And I'm making $12 million. They're not making $12 million. They might be making $40 grand and have a good family. Yep. And they're pretty darn happy.
Starting point is 01:59:31 You know, not everybody's happy. I complain about stuff all the time in this country. It's okay to complain about stuff. But when you're talking about this country as at its foundations, the worst place that has ever been conceived, just ditch it. But it's the opposite. Yeah. Just, you know what?
Starting point is 01:59:45 You obviously hate the place. Find a place that you like. Maybe you'll love Croatia. You know, maybe you'll find Mongolia delightful. I don't know. I've never been there. I've never been there. Maybe it's Chile.
Starting point is 02:00:02 Maybe you'll go to Chile and you'll love Chile. I don't know where that location is, but there are a lot of freaking choices, a lot of different styles of government. This is the only one that's like it. Why would you stay here? Go find any of the other different varieties. You want a parliamentary democracy? Tons are available.
Starting point is 02:00:19 Dozens. You want a monarchy? Dozens are available. dictatorships, tons are available. You want places that are going to, you want a communist party-led country, you can find that. You want North Korea, go for it. Wherever you want to go.
Starting point is 02:00:30 You find that country that fits you. Because with this one, clearly you despise. Would you continue to go to a restaurant that you hated over and over and over and over again? That makes sense. No, go to a different restaurant. No one's kicking you out. You want to stay, stay.
Starting point is 02:00:44 You want to continue to bitch? This is the one country will allow you to bitch about the country and stay. This is like the one place on earth where you can do it. And fine. But just for your own personal satisfaction, wouldn't you want to try to find a place that would make you happy? Seems like it. 3,8-727-B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 02:01:03 A good real estate agent has a lot of responsibility when it comes to helping you buy or selling a home. Let's say you're moving overseas because you hate your country so much that you want to escape it. You need to sell that home. You need a good real estate agent. Real estate agents, I trust.com is the place to go to find that person. Now, I don't know if they'll accept you if you're constantly bashing the country. The real estate agent may say, I don't want to work with you. nuts. But hey, if they know that it means happiness for you finding that inner peace in
Starting point is 02:01:29 Mongolia, maybe they'll go along and help you sell that house. Whether you're buying a home or selling a home, you need to have the best side of that transaction, the best price on either side. And real estate agents, I trust.com is the best place to go to find that person. You know, Glenn started this company years ago. I remember him complaining about his real estate agent all the time and he decided he wanted to do something about it. That's what we do in America. We don't just complain. We do something about it, Jill. And I guess singing the national anthem for Jill is enough. Glenn decided to start a company to help people.
Starting point is 02:01:59 It's a free service to you. It's called real estate agents. I trust.com. Check it out now. Real estate agents. itrust. Dot com. Glenn back.
Starting point is 02:02:27 We were just talking because Stu is a big Swifty. We were just talking about, yeah, a huge Swifty. Loves everything Taylor Swift ever does. Well, I was at one of the festivals. I have a luxury box. It faces away from the stage, though. There, too? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:42 I keep, I really should look into these things before I purchase the tickets. You really should. But you were talking about her success level and how much she's making on this new tour. Did you say like $13 million a night? $13 million a night. They think this year she's going to make $1.3 billion just on the tour. Just on the tour. Would be the highest grossing tour ever.
Starting point is 02:03:04 Well, I would think, yeah. And she's underpaying herself here, to be clear. like the average ticket cost is $254 to see Taylor Swift at her prices. I went on StubHub and just clicked around a few cities because there's a, you know, she's shows coming up. And the cheapest ticket I could find was over $1,000. And we're talking about, you know, Section 320 Row 40, like the worst seat in the house, over $1,000.
Starting point is 02:03:29 So she's, as all these dumb artists do, they're like, well, we just want to keep prices low. So they put the prices on sale for these, you know, bargain basement $250 tickets. People snatch them up and make a lot of money. Four times as much. So now you're just giving all this money to a scalper instead of the artist you like, which is the dumbest thing in the world. Yep. But they do it all the time. And they are now saying that, you know, she is ridiculously, obviously successful, but to an extent that almost like is impossible to conceive.
Starting point is 02:04:03 She doesn't seem to have these, you know, big problems and controversies. She's generally stayed out of the, you know, out of the I'm in, no, Britney Spears, you know, shaved head moments. She's had her like bad boyfriend breakups, which, you know, in my view, inspire crappy songs. You know, I don't think she's particularly great. But. What? What did you say?
Starting point is 02:04:29 Well, of course. Wow. I want to get beat up by the Swifties. Wow. As you know, I have a luxury box at all of her concerts facing the wrong direction. All of them now, not just one location, but all of them? Yeah, well, all of them were available. Okay.
Starting point is 02:04:42 You might find one show where I couldn't get a luxury box and I had to be in row one. Yeah, okay. But it is incredible to see this happen. And again, like, I don't like Taylor stuff. She's a super liberal. She's crazy liberal. She's big time. And look, when it comes to her political analysis, really stupid.
Starting point is 02:04:59 But as a business person, apparently very, very smart. Very smart. To the point of like she like will go into these message boards of her of her followers and listen to their comments and and like respond individually as herself to like just random comments that were put up there. People will be like, I would love to hear her cover this song and she'll just do it. She had one song that was mixed and they thought there wasn't enough of the other artist. She flew the person back in. They recover they re-recorded it. And then she re-released it like the same song title with more of, I don't know,
Starting point is 02:05:32 I'm off with Lanna Del Rey or somebody like that. With more Atlanta, just responding to, like, requests from her own followers. And, of course, you get to this point of power. You get to do that. Yeah. You can spend money and not feel that about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:44 But it is an incredible thing to watch. People freaking love her. I wish she was a little smarter about politics. Yeah. Be nice. Be nice. More Swifty Talk with Stu tomorrow. The Glenn Back program.
