Org. It's Pat and Stouffer. Now the Glimbeck program. He's back on Monday. Triple-8-7-27, B-E-C-K. Michael Avanotti, where has he been for the last? Gosh, what's it been? 15, 20 minutes since he was in the news.

Remember when he was everywhere all the time? Hmm. Those are the days. Those were good times. Really good times. Kind of came out of nowhere. Mm-hmm. Was suddenly the most famous man in America for a three to six-month period.

Right. And then things took a nasty turn. They sure did. Well, he tried to hold up Nike for $20 million or something? I mean, who among us has not tried to hold up an international corporation for tens of millions of dollars? I think we've all done it. we've all been there. Yeah.

Avanetti just got caught. And that's very sad. What I think is really fascinating about Avanetti is he comes in. He's just embraced immediately by the media. Well, yeah, because he hated Trump and he had things to say about Trump that weren't flattering. And so he was speaking truth to Trump. Yeah. And he was essentially the equivalent of a Twitter feed.

Like he came out. He was constantly prepping little insults, you know, little ways. to phrase things that like the media loved because they they were doing the work that I mean to be honest they were doing the work that the journalists wanted to do yeah the journalists don't want to act like journalists they want to be able to yell and scream Twitter insults at the president at that time over and over and over and over again and sometimes they just do and sometimes they do that yeah but they you know they they might get a little pushback here and there Avanati was just doing all the stuff they wanted to do accuse the president and

of all the things they thought he did without evidence. But man, did they love him? Here's just a little reminder of how much they loved him. He's Donald Trump's worst nightmare. Michael Avanetti. Joining us once again is Michael Avanotti. That's bringing him Michael Avanotti. Michael Avanotti, thank you very much.

Michael Avanati, thank you very much. He's out there saving the country. Don Meecham says he may be the savior of the republic. You are something of a folk hero now. Oh, Michael Avanotti, an apology. I've been saying, enough for ready, Michael. I've seen you everywhere. What do you have left to say?

I was wrong, brother. You have a lot to say. I am just dying to hear what you think. These people all like you. I'm the only person right here. Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller. We think you guys are the tip of this beer that's going to take down Donald Trump. Michael Avinati's a beast. Okay, that's true. And he's a beast. He's a beast.

I hand it to her. And I hand it to Michael Avinetti. But he has a bigger calling here. That being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's doing. No one has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avanetti. And Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name. That's fascinating. Donald Trump is terrified of Michael Avanotti. He gets Trump a run for his money than anybody else, Michael Abenotti.

Existential threat to the Trump presidency. The Democrats could learn something for you. You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are. He has no doubt created sheer panic and Donald Trump's very fragile mind. Michael Avanotti is laying down the law as guest co-hoes. I'm just you're really thinking about running for president? One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news. You look at the field of Democrats right now, and Avanotti is the one who stands out.

If they decide to value a fighter most, people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avanotti. I have always said that they need a fighter. Look, I mean, we're going to continue to use the media. I think we've used it with great success. That's great. And there's one more helpful here at the end. Oh, they don't have the one of the one. the end.

What was the one at the end? He says something to one host where he says something like, you know, I'll say all my sexual fantasies go along with handcuffs. They just add. Here it is. Yeah. All of my sexual fantasies involve handcuffs.

I see. I told you. Oh. We're all wonderful. We're all into bondage. And guess what, Michael? You're going to be able to live out those fantasies now in the next two and a half years.

Congratulations. It's going to be lots of fun. You're going to see how wonderful those fantasies really are. How embarrassing is that for the media? It's so embarrassing. And they spent so much time being like they won't even mention Michael Avanotti's name. Now who's not mentioning his name, Trump has no problem mentioning his name now. What about all these other places that we're having him on as basically an exalted co-host for months on end?

Yeah. And there was the rumblings that he was going to run in 2020 for president. Remember that? And that kind of went away. Yeah, sort of went away. And remember, too, it wasn't just Trump, per se, he was attacking. He also had one of the fake accusers of Kavanaugh under his umbrella. Oh.

He brought along one of those three. And I was like, wait a minute. None of these claims make any sense. And that was, I think, the beginning of the end because it was so easily sort of debunked. And I think there was a moment there where the media said, oh, wait a minute. he might just be making all the stuff up. And much of it he was. Obviously, we know that now.

What's fascinating about this is he is such a terrible figure. Such an awful, awful just, I mean, he's a creature of the system that is, you know, the lowest among us, right? It's like the worst that society can produce, is Mike Lavonati. And he's so bad, I mean, especially among conservatives. Like, he's going to prison because he's. he defrauded and tried to extort Nike. The company that, like, promotes Colin Kaepernick

and gives him millions of dollars to do nothing except harassed police officers. And conservatives are like, good job. Good job, Nike. You got him. Like, he's actually lower on the scale than Nike, which is saying something. Yeah, Nike's pretty low in my book. People don't like Nike that are at least conservatives. And it doesn't even have a problem, I think, now with the woman who brought him to prominence

because he was her lawyer, Stormy Daniels. And isn't she suing him too? Oh, no. I think she's suing him. He's that bad of a lawyer. He's that bad that even Stormy Daniels is, I think, suing him for, I don't know what. She says, she had a statement reacting to his sentencing today. and she said he was a man you wanted to trust and believe in but the longer i knew him i began witnessing

his lies and dishonesty until i realized i too became his victim i am sure today he found a reckoning let's hope that leads to an honest realization that he must change his life again let's michael avonati is not only below nike but also uh this stripper porn star that was trying to go after the president as well uh so uh really a and I actually don't know her work all that well so I shouldn't say it. Was she a porn star or just a stripper? I can't remember.

Does anyone remember this? I don't remember either. No? I don't know. Sarah, for some reason, doesn't seem to have this knowledge. Why? Sarah,

I'm just asking for just a quick distinction. Porn star or stripper? Or both? Pretty sure porn star, but. Pretty sure. Yep, Sarah confirmed. There you go. You know, again, Sarah has many bits of knowledge

that we sometimes don't fully explore. We don't tap into. Yeah, you know, we don't. Not quite enough. reservoir of knowledge. Yeah. And we need to tap into it more. In certain areas.

Other areas, not so much, but certain areas. She really nails it. So thank you. Born seems to be my area. So it's really a fascinating story because, you know, if you think about it really, like they did actually like churn up these checks that were paid from people like Michael Cohen and the Trump organization to these two women. Mm-hmm.

And even though that happens. still this guy is a complete disgrace. This is a dream of the media at the time to come up with this sort of storyline. They came up with it and still Michael Lavenati ends up in prison. It really is an amazing turn of events because we forget it happens so fast and so many things happened to us.

They made him, I mean, they were trying to elevate him to president of the United States. Right. They really were. And he was just nothing but a total tool. Yeah. That's all he was. Look, blatantly obvious from the beginning.

Mm-hmm. Right. Like, you know, he immediately reminded me of when he came on the scene. Was Michael Cohen. Yeah. Trump's former attorney who is now turned on him and is now doing basically the same thing that Avanotti was doing, going on cable news all the time, and saying how, you know, I've got all this information and nobody will listen to me.

And Trump's really bad. he's going to prison soon. All the things Avanotti was doing now Michael Cohen is doing. But like, you know, you look at Michael Cohn, you look at Michael Avanotti, you just immediately get the impression that not one 24 hour period has gone by where they didn't do something illegal. Yeah. You know, it's just like, again, I don't have any evidence on it.

But the state apparently did on both of them. So it's not worked out well for either. And that's a sad turn of events. Is it though? No. I think him winding up in jail is kind of a happy. it's ended up in a happy place. Because nobody seems to be more deserving than Michael Avanotti, just spending a little time in prison.

So that'll be fun to see. Sometimes it's good for people to sit back and think about what they've done. You know, you need a timeout sometimes. And he needs a timeout in a bad way. And we should say it was very sad. He cried. He did weep openly. As a man, he broke down and wept openly in court.

Yeah, that's sad. Yeah. You know, you could tell it's really gotten to him now after he's lost his mom. money and his fame. He did admit to wrongdoing to. He said he got carried away with himself or I don't know. No. Wait, what? Yeah.

You think Michael Avedati got carried. I don't think so. Oh, okay. He does. He does now. Because he's got to show remorse so that maybe he can get parole sometime soon. Right. So we'll see.

We'll see what happens there. But what a sad day for Michael when he when he wept. As a man, he wept openly. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Also, I was fascinated by the fact that France is now warning their citizens about travel to Spain and Portugal. They're kicking into gear the COVID fears again because things are starting to calm down and governments are losing control of people. And so we've got to regain control. France is telling citizens they shouldn't be vacationing in Spain.

or Portugal in the latest sign that the rapid spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 could wreck Europe's summer. And here in the United States, they haven't scared us enough with the Delta variant yet. So they're starting to push the Lambda variant. Yeah, I've been hearing a little bit about the Lambda variant. Now, do the vaccines cover the Lambda? I think it's too early to know what's going on with the Lambda. I don't think there's any reason to believe that any of these variants are doing anything to evade these very vaccines in any meaningful way.

Like the only one that seemed to really do it in any meaningful way was the South African one, which I can't, is gamma maybe? I think in this new naming system, I can't remember all. Is it gamma? I think it might be gamma. But it's already pretty much faded from view. The Delta one does, like, you know, there is one study out of Israel that shows it's still pretty effective, but not as effective.

64%. 64%. But every. For Pfizer, which. which they're claiming, what, 94%? Yeah. Every other study, though, has it more in the mid-80s to high 80s. Oh, okay.

So, like, I don't know. Even with the variants. Yeah, they think one of the issues is that Israel is super aggressive with testing. So if you come in contact at all with anyone who had COVID, even if it wasn't like a long-term contact or anything, they test everybody. They do the entire tree. And so they're catching a lot of asymptomatic cases and such. but the same thing is holding that is held with every other variant in all of these situations. You don't get as sick.

You don't get as sick. You don't go to the hospital. You don't die. Which is a plus. Those are all plus. Yeah. Those are all good things. In almost every single situation.

Again, the number of the United States right now is 99.9. Literally, 99.9% of hospitalizations are people that are unvaccinated. So, I mean, take what you want from that. But 99.9. It doesn't mean you have to get vaccinated. No. And it doesn't mean the government should force you to do it. No, that's for sure.

It doesn't mean they should come to your door. It doesn't mean Jen Saki should show up with a needle. No. And inject you with anything. It just means that, you know, these things have been pretty effective. And we've seen a way to be able to deal with it. 99.9%. You might say, how could they possibly perform better?

And the answer to that is they could be one-tenth of a percent better. That's the answer. They could be 100% effective. They're only 99.9%. So deal, you know, that's just the thing. And it's like, They keep hyping this stuff. You know, right now, I mean, you're seeing what's going on with the Olympics, right, Pat?

That they're having no fans. I heard a journalist talking about what they have to do. They have to test every day for three days before they leave. Then they have to get tested at the airport. Then when they arrive, they have to get tested and go immediately from there to their hotel room in isolation for three full days. Then they can't ever leave. the Olympic bubble for any of the time

that they're there. So it's all inside the bubble. And I think that the athletes as well have, after the Olympic Games are over, have 48 hours to leave the country. Wow. I mean, they are

loading this on. And Japan is not really, I mean, they've been able to avoid the worst of this from the beginning. I mean, they really haven't had a terrible time with COVID, but they're worried about it now. And they said,

I heard a report this morning. The overwhelming majority of Japanese citizens want them to cancel the games. Wow. Think about that. That's a totally different vibe than I think America. Oh, yeah. Like we would be like, wait a minute. You're doing what?

Yeah. There, the overwhelming majority in polls show that they want it canceled. Triple 8-7-27-B-E-C-K. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Gleb Beck program. Triple-8-7-27B-E-C. Just kind of an amazing feel, as you were saying, from Japan. And that's, I mean, so much different than what we're experiencing here where we kind of feel like, at least in Texas, it sort of feels like the pandemic's over. Right? We're kind of back to business as usual for the most part.

Yeah. If you had to identify any differences from regular life to right now, the only thing I could point to is that occasionally employees at businesses are wearing masks. Yeah. You know, occasionally you walk around and you see a regular citizen walking around with one as well. But it's really, I would say it's normally pretty rare. That and the other thing I've noticed, Chick-fil-A still isn't open to in-store dining. Yeah, you know, I can't believe that. A friend of mine has his daughter's just turned, I think, 16 and going to get her first job, went to get a job at Chick-fil-A.

And I guess at one point they asked, like, you know, how come we haven't opened up this dining room yet? Like, I mean, you know, aren't we past the worst of COVID? And they said, it's not about COVID. It's not about, like, safety precautions. They can't get enough employees to open up the. restaurants. That's what it's about? That is, yeah. Wow. And so a lot of these places are, I told you about this sports bar that surround us. That's now closing at 9 p.m. because they can only keep people there

for one shift. They don't have enough employees for two shifts. So they can't keep. Because people are making too much money, stay at home and not taking these kinds of jobs. Is that what it is? I will say though in Texas, for example, that's been canceled. Oh, right? You know, that's not even active. And basically every red state has canceled that. So that was, I think, part of it. And I think, you're seeing employees return faster in red states than you are in blue states. But there's other parts of this as well. I think until we get a guarantee to parents that their kids are going to be able to go back

to school in a month, what are you going to do? Take a job and you might have to then quit it. It's really hard, I think, for parents to figure out. And I think in states like Florida and Texas, as maybe the two biggest examples, but with outspoken governors who are willing to say, look, these things are opening, you're not closing them. I mean, you know, DeSantis has come out and said, you cannot close a public school, basically. And that is important to parents because they've got something to depend on. They've got a foundation to build the economy on.

Right. Really tough for parents who both work. And then, you know, they've had to figure out what to do with the kids since they're at home the whole time. I don't know how people manage. It's been a tough year or so. I've noticed that, yeah. Yeah, tough year. Triple-8, 727.

Beck. More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up. Com.com. Welcome. It is Pat and Stu for Glenn. Jeffie has joined us, which is unfortunate. I heard you were talking about porn. And I was stop by.

We actually were. We were talking about whether or not Stormy Daniels has done it. Yeah. Has she done that? Well, I wanted to go and view her work. on a particular website. Thank you. And this company will not allow me to access that website.

No, they will not. No, they're not going to let you. This is completely unacceptable. Here you are, just trying to do research for the show. Thank you. Right. I think you need to go complain to Glenn about that. I have already emailed.

Lodge a complaint. This is completely unacceptable. Well, I believe we did land on that. She apparently did do a, Stormy Daniels did a stripper tour That's the right Post Trump accusations But that is not what she's known for

She was known for her earlier work And as a very well informed on this topic A person here in this office just came in Said she was actually on the 40 year old virgin She was in the 40 year old virgin Apparently that was the movie that he was using To excite himself Right in the in the movie

Steve Carrell Yeah Now I'm not sure exactly why there was so much information bouncing around about that topic from this particular individual. But we believe that. But he had a ton. Yes, he did. He did.

Actually, went into just started listing off the entire filmography. He had more information than Jeffrey did. On Stormy Daniels. He most definitely did. Yeah. Yeah. So.

Apparently, his internet access works. Okay. Yeah. Apparently so. I would be stunned if you were the one that was blocked. That would be weird, really weird. And I see, you know, just as a side note, we talked a little bit this morning on Pat Show, which airs immediately preceding this broadcast, that the Washington Post now is quoting

this show, saying that the Biden administration should turn the... They should turn to Trump. The vaccine. To get the vaccine taken into gear. Washington Post. So they just want to say Washington Post. And it was after we talked about it. Wednesday.

Wednesday? Yeah. We're here for you. Yeah. And, you know, if you need some more stories, call. Right. It's okay. It's all right.

Yeah. We could be, maybe you could name us as a source, I suppose. In fact, we'll do that. They said that they should acknowledge that it's the biggest medical breakthrough in world history. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's pretty amazing. Yeah, it is. It is.

And give him credit for it. That's what they said Biden should do so that he can, you know, kick the numbers into gear again, which I think it would. I think so too. But it would. Or they could just go door to door. Or that. You could just send. Jen Saki and Avier Bacera door to door to inject people individually.

And that would also help with the Bacera clip. Let's listen to this from yesterday. I wonder if you can answer that criticism. It's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated. What do you say? Brianna, perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had it spent trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic. so it is absolutely the government business.

It is taxpayers' business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy. And so it is our business to try to make sure Americans can prosper. Americans can freely associate. And knocking on a door has never been against the law. You don't have to answer. But we hope you do because if you haven't been vaccinated, we can help dispel some of those rumors that you've heard and hopefully get you vaccinated. I just love that. It is his business because they paid trillions of dollars. Yeah.

That they went out and earned with their own sweat equity, with their own labor, with their own hands. They've been actually digging in dirt and selling goods and services. Is that how they got the money? Yeah. At roadside stands. They've been selling vegetables and fruits. Because I thought they just took it from us. No, no, no, no.

Good golly. No. Then that wouldn't be their business if they got it from us. Oh, okay. No, this is from their own labor. I think there's a government farm and they sell all the vegetables and the fruits that they grow there. Just along the side of the road there. Yeah.

You can get some really good corn on the cob from the U.S. government. Maybe a little yellow squash. Yeah. Yeah, you drive into town a little bit and then you find their retail outlets for their clothing that they sell there. Yeah. It's been interesting to see the message. gotten this because we were talking on News and Why Matters yesterday with Sarah Gonzalez and she pointed out I think correctly that it was sort of assumed that

after they said they were going to come door to door the next step it was we didn't mean literally coming door to door like we weren't really going to come door to door that is literally what they meant however right but Sarah is just like yeah no let's yeah door to door that's that's what we meant and they're not giving you they're not going to have the they're not going to be at your front door vaccine ready right they're just giving you information on why you should get vaccinated Right. No, I think they won't they have the vaccine?

I don't think so. The way it sounded is they were just going to be informative. At least their new fallback position is it's just like, and they're saying it's not going to be government like employees or they're saying it's going to be like, you're a local pharmacist. Like your local pharmacist is going to take time out of their own day. They're going to come to go to door and say like, hey, just didn't have any questions about the vaccine? No.

You know, again, like I. Hi, I'm your local CVS pharmacist. Just want to know if you want some vaccine. scene information. Yeah. And I gotta say like in 1985, someone comes to my door.

I'm opening it up asking them like, yeah, what can I help you with? Hey, buddy, thanks. What could we talk about? What do you have? Oh, okay,

I'm not really interested in that. Thank you though. In 2021, I assume they're either a murderer. Or they're trying to raise money for global warming. And by the way, I'd rather have the murderer. But still.

You get roofers. Oh, do get all the roofers. And you get, the roofers. You get a ant- bug guys. Yes.

And they don't want to leave. The anti-bug guys will say, do you have bug service? And I work, you know, and my favorite of their sales pitch is, well, you know Jessica down the street. No, I don't know her. That's every time. That's exactly what my Rupert did to me. I just did Steve's.

You know, Steve just around the corner. No, I don't know the guy who lives right directly next to me or the other person right direct next to me on the other side. And the bug guys have the implicit threat of carrying around poison with them. Like there's a chance that if you say no, they're going to go to your ducks. Right. And you know, no, I'm all right. I've got it covered.

No problem. Thanks for stopping by. Well, who's your company? Who's doing it for you? Yeah. No, I'm good. I'm just, I close the door. And they're still talking.

And look, that's a longer conversation than I have with them. I'm like, nope. Close the door. I just don't answer most of the time. Because first of all, first of all, we have a no solicitation law from my age. HOA. Okay. Can that supersedes? Yes.

Yes. It supersedes the Constitution. That particular law supersedes the U.S. Constitution. Do not come to my door and solicit me. If I want to buy something, I'll go to you. Yeah. Okay.

Don't come to my house. That pisses me off. That is the way commerce should work. Door to door sales. I go to you if I want to buy something. They're long gone, right now. And it is this sort of like, there has to be this, like, look, we, just happen to be in the area.

And we got these boards in the back. Do you guys need something? What do you guys need? Do you guys need your roof repaired? What are you talking about? Yeah, I'm just going to have a flippant roof repair. I was driving by. I noticed some damage on your roof.

I don't know if you've noticed that on your one corner. I can get up there and take a picture. Wait, did you fly over my home? I can see it from the road. You haven't caught that. No problem. I just want to check it out for you. Look, I know these things go on and people work hard.

I just not the type of thing I want going on at my house. And if someone comes and tries to pitch me a vaccine from the government. Like, no. That's not going to work. I don't want to. Even if you, I don't need it. If you think it's a great idea to get people vaccinated, something like the idea of having President Trump,

who's arguably the nation's largest cheerleader for the vaccine, by the way. Have you seen, have you heard the guy on interviews? I mean, he's calling it a miracle routinely on interviews. And frankly, it is. It is. I know there's disagreement on that from a lot of people, but like. It is a miracle. You don't have to take it.

You don't have to do it. But it's a miracle it happened in less than a year. It's never taken less. than four. Yeah. And remember this is, this is what the media was saying throughout the Trump

presidency to try to sink it. Right. Basically saying there's no way he will ever be able to pull this off. There's no chance that they will have a vaccine by the end of the year. He's lying to try to win an election. And they said it over and over and over again.

And then it happened. And then there's never. So he should be proud of it. Yeah. He should. He should talk about it. Oh. And now,

and now we will. Yeah. Now it's required and we're to send people door to door. The freaking vice president in the United States was on TV routinely saying because Donald Trump was associated with it. She wasn't going to take it. And then now, oh, well,

absolutely, we're going to come to your door. Kamala might come to the door herself. With the needle. For conservatives. That was their biggest problem getting them to take the vaccine because they badmouthed it all the way up until they came into office. And then all of a sudden, it's the greatest thing ever. And we take

credit for it. We're doing it all. And we need 100% of you to have it. Right now. That's amazing. The flip-flopping that goes on with this crap. So bizarre. Really bizarre. I mean, we're just, we're filled with hypocrites, which is, brings me to the story of the 16-year-old

that made, had $1.7 million in revenue. And he made, he profited $110,000 last year on revenues. He was reselling products that he bought and then raised the price and sold it again on Facebook and Amazon. Good for him. And he made $7 million? He made $1.7 million in revenue. He profited $110,000.

Okay, he was a 16-year-old. Right. Great story. Wasn't it not too long ago where the Tennessee brothers who stockpiled bottles of hand sanitizer that we were going to throw in jail? 17,000 bottles. They ended up donating half to homeless shelters. They didn't donate anything.

The government took it from them. The rest. Took them all. It took just incredible. But less than a year later, it's great. This kid is doing the same thing. Unreal.

And games on the internet and making money. We love it. What a wonderful thing. Now, that's, I mean, that gets you into, well, isn't that price gouging?

Yeah. Or is that capitalism? Yeah. Now, I, of course, am fully in favor of both of these stories. And I will say, there's no such thing as price gouging.

There are only prices. That's what they are. They're just prices. I know. There's no such thing as price gouging. You can't be gouged to, you can't be gouged in a tragedy. Willingly purchase something. And so price gouging is a myth.

But, you know, when you, when there's a, when there's a tragedy. Yes. If you're taking advantage of a hurricane, for example, yes. Where all the gas stations in the entire area are closed. But you're the only one opened who has gas and you're charging $15 a gallon? we're going to put you in jail for that. Yeah. So what happens in a situation where you're not charging $15 a gallon?

What you get is everyone goes to the gas station and puts the maximum amount of gas possible, even if they don't need it because they're worried it's going to be running out. So then the people who really need it don't get it. That's the opposite of price gouging. It means the people who really need products oftentimes aren't able to get it. Well, that's true anyway because the people who really need it aren't getting it because the rich people are getting it. not the way it works. Usually what happens when it's overpriced

is you only buy what you need. Yeah. Really? Yeah, you don't over buy in those situations. And you know what else happens? Because the prices are high, and gas is a little bit different here. But people come in with an extra supply, right?

You're able to bring in other people, maybe from out of state. Like, this always happens with bottled water. And it sure does. And they're like, oh, gosh, people are charging $8 for bottled water. First of all, every freaking baseball game I go to, I'm paying $8 for water. That pricing.

Exactly. But, you know, the people come in and then all of a sudden, you know what? Bob from, you know, an hour away says, I've got four cases of water. I'm just going to drive in there and sell them all for $8 a bottle. Right. And then all of a sudden, there's more supply of the needed object. Huh. So that means that the price comes down because I can get it over there for cheaper.

So I'm 100% pro price gouging. Triple-8-7-27. B-E-C-Mor coming up in a second. That's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. listen to my show immediately preceding this one live. If you want on Blaze Radio TV, that's 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 Central, or anytime you want on podcast, anywhere you get your podcasts. And Sto Show just as easily accessed.

Yeah, Studez America on YouTube and on podcast as well as, yes, it's true. I guess Jeffey's not available though. No, you can get chewing the fat. Oh, you can't get that. Yeah. I'm sorry, you were saying about where do I get yours? Mine's on YouTube and podcasts, but also chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. No, that's not available anymore.

Oh, you can't. I'm still, you know, every day. All right. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Is it still free, though? Have you been able to keep the price that low? Yes. I mean, I can't promise how long that's going to last.

He's fighting hard for you, America, fighting hard. Well, it's one of those things we were just talking about price gouging a little bit. Right. Jeffey's podcast is price at the exact value it provides. But it's free. I don't understand. Yeah. So anyway, I'd just like to take a moment also while I'm here to say hello to the reporters who survived the deadly capital riot and are still struggling.

Some won't even go back into the building and several have sought therapy to deal with the trauma. And many, you imagine. Many aren't sleeping well. So I just want to take a moment. Well, how could you sleep after the horror that was? the insurrection on January 6th. How could you possibly ever sleep again after seeing it? I don't understand how it's possible.

I don't. And plus, it's only been six months. Yeah. You know, right. What are you going to do? It's going to take a lot longer than that. Oh my gosh. It'd take a lifetime. Take a lifetime of therapy and you still wouldn't be over that. Am I right? You are. You're 100% right. Once you've seen the piles of dead bodies on January 6th.

Still coming back from that. You just can't come back. I mean, now there's a thought that maybe the reporter's just, I don't know, not go back. No, I mean, they're intrepid reporters. And they're trying desperately to do the job that they've been paid to do. Though I will say, Jeffrey, for you, you could just not come back. That's something that you can. I mean, I'm already here.

I know. I'm already here. Maybe leave and then you try out what you're recommending for them. I'm going to go somewhere where I can get on an actual website. I'll tell you that. Interesting bill being proposed by Rand Paul, get into that. Also, Dr. Fauci speaking out again.

Love him. He's actually your father, isn't he? He is. No, he is not my father. We'll get into that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds. So are you looking at a summer of finally getting out? Maybe you're in one of these states where they're allowing you to go outside for the first time in quite a long time. One of the things that was really enjoyable about the darkest parts of course.

quarantine, at least in our family, was we were able to go out and still enjoy the backyard. We actually, as you know, Pat, I'm a COVID-19 survivor. And during that period, which was, I guess, early October last year, still pretty warm around here in these parts in Texas. And we spent basically every night outside, grilling out, you know, playing wiffle ball in the backyard, like doing all those sort of family summer things that you kind of might imagine as part of real life. you take, you really take those and, and they mean a lot more, I think after the past year,

year and a half. If you're going out, you're having people over for the first time in a while. If you're having those gatherings, you've got to have a rec tech. Rectech is the, is what you need. It's a smart grill technology that you need to have because if it gets to be 100 degrees outside and you don't want to stand outside anymore, you just want to go inside. You can control the whole process from inside the air conditioning with a Rectek tech. everything's going to be cooked perfectly and you're going to absolutely love it. We're talking about winter, spring, summer, or fall, because you can do it from indoors.

So you don't keep the rec tech indoors, but you can control it from your phone indoors. Rec tech, it's sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time. Follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter. It's rec tech with a cue at the end. Rec tech with a cue at the end, R-E-C-T-E-Q-C-C-com. RecTech.com. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. One of the things I love about Rand Paul, he just believes in freedom.

You know, it just seems like he's usually in there fighting for liberty. Because he's more of a libertarian kind of guy than not. And he's just, he's planning to introduce legislation now to revoke a federal mask mandate for travelers on airplanes. That is so great. because that's one of the last places where you just, you have to wear it and you have to wear it the whole time and you have to wear it correctly. And if you make any bones about it, you know,

you can be arrested, literally arrested once you land, thrown off the plane. If you're, you know, on the runway, they'll go right back to the gate and drop you off. Have you traveled in the middle of this yet? Fortunately, no. Oh, okay. Because I have a few times.

I don't know if I could keep it on the whole time. Yeah, you know, You know, as much as I think as a policy, I don't like the idea of a mask mandate. It doesn't bother me that much to deal with a couple of hours with it. Oh, man, I go out of my skin. Yeah, some people really do. A lot of people have real problems with it. I'm a little claustrophobic.

Yeah. And so that extra heat right here on my mouth and nose, it just traditionally. Pat, when we've done the show together, you oftentimes have done it without your shoes. Yes. That's a big Pat gray thing that people might not know from behind the scenes. Right. And that like, you really do kind of have a claustrophobic. sort of thing that's gone on for as long as I've known you.

Yeah. You know, look, the best thing is it doesn't seem to really have a point on these planes. I mean, like, what we've learned from the very beginning of this is that airplanes have one of the best filtration systems you're going to be able to find anywhere. Yeah. So it's almost like being outdoors. Yeah. I think they've found that generally you're not getting it from a plane.

No, no. Outdoors, you know, and planes. I can understand why people would think that. For example, we've seen real issues on cruises. I mean, that really has been a place where it's spread. That has not been true with planes largely. And especially in a situation where you have a country that's, you know, especially with the most vulnerable, almost entirely vaccinated. You just, you just don't, you know, like this is just, it's just the part of the equation that Biden can actually control.

He has no power to tell you in Texas, you have to wear a mask. he does have the power to tell you on airplanes because he you know I mean the administration has a lot of power federally regulated it's the FAA so they're able to kind of go through and do this they're able to do it in federal buildings they're able to keep it on in in the places that they control and so far they've been able to do that but it does show I think the strength of our structure here in this country

you know this constitution limits our government even in these times you know, we have all complained about what the states have done and towns have done. But the federal government, you know, you mentioned Anthony Fauci earlier today. I mean, Anthony Fauci has no power to do anything. Now, he's influenced a lot of people who do have power. And that's the problem with Fauci. But, you know, he doesn't have power to do much of anything.

He, you know, Anthony Fauci can't make you wear a mask on any where other. than federal property. And even then, he doesn't actually have the power to implement that. It's got to be done through the administration. True. He's not an elected official. He's not been elected to any position. Still, he has kind of a position of influence.

Yes, for sure. And he tries to use that a lot. So much. Here's what he just said about vaccination. This is not complicated. We're not asking anybody to make any political statement one way or another. We're saying try and save your life. and that of your family and that of the community.

We have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with that don't have solutions. It's very frustrating. You don't have a treatment or you don't have a vaccine. Here we have a vaccine that's highly, highly effective in preventing disease and certainly in preventing severe disease and hospitalization. It's easy to get, it's free, and it's readily available.

So, you know, you've got to ask, what is the problem? Get over it. Get over this political statement. Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family. Are they intentionally trying to get people to not take the vaccine? That's the thing. What an arrogant sack of crap. Get over it.

What do you just get out and get the vaccine and save your family over there? What are you talking about? Just get over it. it. That's about the worst thing you can say to people like me who have been hesitant. And it's not because it's a political thing. It's not about politics to me. It's, you know, I just haven't decided whether I want it or not. I, you know, I'm trying to do what's best for my body. And do I, do I take the chance or, or do I not? And every time, like you presented me with a pretty good case the other day, some facts and figures

and stats. And I thought, man, maybe. And then along comes this. And I don't want to anymore. I really. And I mean this. It pisses me off. There is no reason for Anthony Fauci to be on television. No reason. There's no reason for it. He's convinced every liberal that is on this, you know, train. Going on Chris Hayes, what is that doing? Right? It's certainly not helping the situation.

of public health. If what Anthony Fauci cares about is actually getting people vaccinated, there's no way this could possibly help. That's about as bad as you could be. As bad as you could be. You know, acting like we're, I don't know, morons. We're idiots. And we're just doing something for politics.

And he tells us to get over it. That's probably one of the worst things you could say. Let me give you a, do we have like three or four minutes here? Let me give you three or four minutes. from another representative who's a big fan of the vaccine. And see if this is any more persuasive than what Anthony Fauci gave you. This is the montage of our former president talking about the vaccinations. Okay.

I was told it was ready, but apparently it was not. Okay. Well, there you go. So was that convincing to you? How about that? Was that convincing to you? That was powerful. So you've got Trump talking about it.

somewhere. And I'm guessing he said good things about the vaccine. He has been a consistent cheerleader for this vaccine. He really has. Since the very beginning. And who are you going to listen to? Are you going to listen to Trump? Right.

Or are you going to listen to Fauci? Now look, you know, you can make the argument. I mean, like we've, we saw there is a political component to this, right? And it's blatantly clear in that during the election, Kamala Harris was warning liberals not to take it because God forbid Donald Trump was was mixing chemicals. And they weren't going to trust it. And they didn't want to trust it.

They didn't want to trust it. They didn't want to believe it. And they basically had warnings going to the left saying don't do it because Donald Trump's involved. And then, you know, this if Donald Trump was in the White House right now, this situation would be

exactly reversed. There would be a lot of people on the left saying they didn't want to it. And I think a lot of people on the right who right now are maybe more hesitant would not be getting these annoying messages from the government. And they would be on the other side of it. I think there is a, there is a component. It's dumb to deny that culture plays a role here. It does. But again, you have when you acknowledge that, the last thing you do is have Jen Saki come out and say she's coming to your home and that Bacera's coming to your home and that Fauci's insulting you. It's just none of this makes any sense. Listen to the

president talk about the vaccine. And by the way, this is all very recent. This isn't like from March 2020. This is all Donald Trump talking very recently about the vaccine. Listen, when the China virus invaded our shores, I promised that we would produce a vaccine in record time before the end of the year. They said it couldn't be done. But with today's announcement, we have now achieved that goal. The United States is the first nation in the world to produce a verifiably safe and effective vaccine. Today's achievement. is a reminder of America's unlimited potential when we have the will and the courage

to pursue ambitious goals. As I've said from the beginning, a vaccine will vanquish the virus and return life back to normal. The pandemic may have begun in China, but we are ending it right here in America. Never let them forget. This was us. We did this.

And the distribution is moving along according to our plan. And it's moving along really well. We had the military, what they've done, our generals, and all of the people, what they've done is incredible. But remember, you know, we took care of a lot of people, including, I guess, on December 21st, we took care of Joe Biden because he got his shot. He got his vaccine. He forgot. Now, I know you said, and I completely agree with you, that it's the right of every American to decide if they want to be vaccinated or not. But do you think

we should require healthcare workers who are exposed to patients to be vaccinated? Well, I think we should certainly try and convince them. Look, I'm a big fan of the vaccine. I was the one that got it done in record time less than nine months. Everyone said it would take three years, five years. And it's why people are getting better now. We not only did that, we also ordered billions of dollars worth of it before we even knew of it worked. And that was one of the best bets ever made because they wouldn't have their vaccinations yet. But I, I think having workers, at least convincing them to try and do it because, you know, I believe in the freedom. I believe in all of that.

But the vaccine really has been unbelievably effective. And it's saving this country. It's saving the world. So, yeah, I mean, it's something that hopefully you could convince people to do it. Keeping always freedom in mind, but convince people to do it. Nobody did as good a job with the pandemic as we did. And that's why we're leading the world in terms of. coming back. That was all set long before Biden came in, including the fact that we came up

with vaccines in less than nine months when a lot of people, everybody said it was going to take three to five years and you probably wouldn't be successful. And if we weren't successful, Sean, I'll tell you this, you would have another 1917 tragedy where almost 100 million people died, but we were successful. So it was a great thing. Because of what we did and because I came up with the vaccine in nine months instead of, I did it in less than nine months. It was supposed to be, Buck, you know this. It was supposed to be five years, three years, but it'll never happen. By that time, everybody would have been dead. This would have been, if I didn't do that, this would have been another Spanish flu of 1917, where perhaps a hundred million people died. The FDA does not like

Donald Trump. Let me put it that way. They have never seen anything like it. They would have, this they would have taken much more than three years. And I don't think they would have even ever gotten it. But we did things that were miraculous. People call it a miracle, actually. And then, you know, I went out and did something else that people don't talk about. I bought $12 billion worth of the vaccine before we knew it worked. We had an idea at work, but before.

And you wouldn't have the shots till October of this year. No, I mean, Operation Warpspe, President Trump was an amazing miracle, and you deserve tremendous credit for that. A lot of our people don't want to take vaccine. You know, I don't know what that is exactly. Republican, I don't know what it is. You encourage people to get it. I encourage them to take it, I do.

But they want me to make a... Did you get it? Yes, I did. I had it and I took it, okay? You got both. Because I believe. Yeah. Better than Fauci?

Yeah. Much better than Fauci. A much better pitch than Anthony Fauci. And he talks about, you know, we have to maintain people's free. them and liberty to choose, but we should try to convince them to take it. Yeah. And again, you know, I mean, this is Donald Trump here. This is not some crazy left wing.

It's not Jen Saki. It's not Bacera. It's none of the, this is Donald Trump telling you, you know, that this is, and, and quoting correctly, many people who call it a miracle. Yeah. That really was. And he deserves freaking credit for it. And Biden's trying to steal it.

Yeah. He is trying to steal credit for ending this pandemic. Again, pissing me off. It's hampered the effort. for some people. Because they have forgotten, I think, to a certain extent, that it was Donald Trump behind it. Yeah. And so a lot of people don't trust it because of the Biden administration.

And look, again, as the president was very clear on, yes, it has to be your choice. It should be your choice. But, you know, he's very, that is not a person who's equivocating there. He's not like, oh, well, it might work. It might not. I mean, he's talking about this as his legacy and I believe correctly identifying the fact that the left is trying to steal the greatest achievement. As they called it in the Washington Post, the greatest human health achievement in public history or something like that. In world history.

In world history. Yeah. And Biden's like, you know what? That's mine. And instead, and again, if they actually wanted people to be vaccinated and didn't. just want this talking point. They get him out in front. They get him out in front. And they'd give him credit for it. Biden would be out there saying, you know what? This, none of this would have happened if the president didn't take the actions. The former president took the actions that he did.

And while we'll disagree on almost everything else, they don't care. We have to give Donald Trump credit for what he did in that very difficult period. That's type of thing. We'll go a long way to actually make this into the nonpartisan issue Fauci says he's talking about. Instead, they're on TV, at everybody. Right. It shows you who they are that they won't do that. You know they won't. They won't ever give him the credit because that's just beyond them. Triple 8-727 B-E-C-K. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's back on Monday, by the way. You know, it's really telling that the Biden administration would never, would never ever. And even the Washington Post said that they should give him credit.

If they really want the numbers to increase percentage-wise in this country where they want 70%, 80%, 85% of this country to be vaccinated, the only way to do that now is to bring out Donald Trump to give him credit and to make sure that he talks to the people who voted for him because they claim that that's who's being resistant. Now, I'm being resistant, but it's really not because of, Trump or not because of Trump. No. It's just because I haven't decided yet.

Yeah. And it's not because I'm anti-vax or pro-vax. I just haven't decided yet. And, you know, at one point I'll make that decision. And I don't care who developed the vaccine. It's just that if I decide it's better for me to get the vaccine than not have it, then I'll do it. Yeah. They try to frame this as this big partisan divide issue. And really it really shouldn't be. It shouldn't be. You know, we have tons of... But it is. It is.

It's become more cultural. I think it's important. Look, and I know you're not doing this, and I don't think a lot of people in the audience are doing it. This sort of stuff with Fauci going on TV talking about it, is it what's making your decision? Because then Fauci's making your decision for you, right? It's just an annoying irritant on top of all where you don't want to. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

It's true. And that's not, you know, that is not, again, if this is your aim, if we assume the The aim of this administration is to get the most people vaccinated as possible. Then give him credit and get him out there. And you know what? It would be a moment of honesty too. Yeah. You know, it's, you don't have to lie.

You don't have to say, you know what? We're Donald Trump. It's all him. He did it. We don't actually believe that, but he did it. He actually did do it. It's his operation. He led it.

He talked about it. There's all sorts of reporting from behind the scenes that he was pushing as hard as he could to get through all of the bureaucratic. I know that's true. Right? It's all true. He said it publicly at the time. He said it every day since.

Most of the interviews that we play with Donald Trump here were from June and May of this year. Right. Like, he has been consistent throughout this entire process. Yeah. And he wants to, he wants credit for it. And damn it, he deserves credit for it. Yes, he does. Put him out there then.

If you want people to take the vaccine, but they don't. Because their politics, their agenda, their ego is more important to them than the American people. That's the fact. That great, Stupor Gear for Glenn, who returns on Monday morning. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Let's go to Brett in Texas. Hey, Brett. You're on the Glenn Beck program with Ben and Stu. Hey, happy Friday from the Great Republic of Texas. You too.

You too. And comment and then a tip. My wife and I just returned from Costa Rica. and 72 hours prior we had to have a COVID test. And during the flight, we all had to wear masks, even though everybody on that flight had to be tested previously. Oh, right. So you knew that nobody on the flight had COVID-19,

yet everyone had to wear a mask the whole time. Exactly. It makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Exactly. And here's the traveler's tips. So waiting. because they make exceptions, you can have your mask off while you're eating

or while you're drinking. And so bought two bags of combos, the pretzels with all the cheese in it because each bag has like 900 of them in there and just low ate them. And the flight attendant came up to me several times. Are you done, sir? And I finally looked at him and said,

not a prayer, my man, not a prayer. and finally when we were descending into DFW, it's like, well, I think I'm done. And so I wore my mask for probably 15 minutes to the entire flight. Yeah, we've been, when that was going on, because we had COVID, I had COVID. And after that, like, you have immunity, obviously, you know,

and so we would just, a lot of times just walk around with a drink. You know, like you had the drink kind of open, holding it a few inches away from your face. And if someone comes over and looks at you, like, are you going to put that mask on, then you just got to just take a sip. I mean, it's really, we all understand it's silly. I mean, it's obviously ridiculous.

I will say since Biden got into office on planes, it is worse, considerably worse. When I flew back in, geez, I guess it was last summer, 2020 summer. And they, they, they, you, you were supposed to wear a mask the whole time. They were not nearly as crazy about it. Now they've added layers and layers of announcements at the beginning. The last flight I was on when they were announcing the mask policy, they actually said when you're eating, it's mask off, bite, mask back on chew. Right.

That's what I thought they had come up with. And did they enforce that? Yeah, more than normal. I mean, it's definitely, it's definitely taken a massive turn since Biden got into office specifically. It's nuts. He implemented all these additional threats and penalties and policies. And so, you know, look, these airlines have no choice but to enforce them. It's not, you know, it's not their policy per se.

They may also still want to do it, but they have to enforce these policies. Now, you can tell, it's one of those things. You could tell they've read it 500 times and they say it the same way every time, you know. So, and they, but they're very specific about when you're eating, you can't do what I was just talking about. They don't want, they don't want you to do the guys, the callers combos trick. right now. They want you to take a bite and chew with the mask on. And it's like, insanity. It's all insanity at this point, especially when you have a country, again, that is 89% vaccinated among 65 plus. This is not a borderline. Like, you know, look, you go to India

where they're at like, you know, 12% vaccination. Maybe you have more of a case for this, but you know, it doesn't make any sense. They're just doing it because they can. Have you been to a movie theater in the last? Oh, yeah, many times. Have you really? Yeah, I'm... You've gone to movies that have come to the theater then. Well, first of all, Pat, you should remember our heroic effort.

Yes, it was here. We were basically the first people in the United States to go back to the theaters. This was like a year ago, right? It was, I think it was May, 2020. More than a year ago. You don't remember this? Sarah has, doesn't care about us or the show, so she doesn't have any recollection of this. But it was a big thing.

We went after the show. we did the show together again. It was a day Glenn was out. And we went to a local theater, which was the first theater in Texas to reopen. And it was in, I think it was May 2020, and they were opened at 25% capacity. I will tell you this.

They were not at 25% capacity. They were at me and Pat capacity. That was it. It was literally just us. That was it. It was us in the theaters with two employees. I'll never forget this because it's, and there's one employee.

behind in the concession stand and the guy who owned the theater and that was it no other customers I mean actually there was one or two other customers wasn't there I think in other movies we yeah in other movies we were the only two people in this particular movie which was a Vin Diesel is a is a classic yeah uh and it was one of the worst single worst movies I've ever seen in my life I barely remember any of it it was so forgettable yeah he was I don't something about something about in his blood, there was some like nanobots that made him into

almost like a superhero or something. I know. No, it was really bad. He could die and be brought back or something through the nanobots. Yeah, it was not good. And it was released. I want to say it's released date was the weekend before

they shut the NBA season down. So it was like one of the last movies they released in that situation. Right before all the theaters closed out. Oh yeah, it was bloodshot. Bloodshot. Bloodshot. Bloodshot.

Bloodshot. So good. And it came out. Pat and I sat in and we made sure to be social distance where Pat sat in the back left-hand corner of the theater and I sat right under the screen in the front right-hand corner. There's a video of it on my YouTube.com slash stew does America if you want to watch it. We went with it.

we took you through the whole thing. And I will say the movie was not good. But it's interesting to see Vin Diesel being in the movie that arguably relaunched the movie industry. He was in F9, the ninth Fast and Furious movie, which we all needed, by the way. Oh, yeah. People were clamoring for it.

They were apparently. It made $100 million, or $70 million opening weekend, is now up over $120 million. In China, in the first weekend, I think it may. made 134 million or something like that. It was huge in China in its first weekend of a release. But where is it now domestically?

Did it get over? It's over 100 million, right? Yeah, it is at $128 million. Isn't bad in this environment? No, in pre-pandemic, that movie is probably going to bring in, at this point, is probably at $200 million. But it's still a business. Like, that's a legit business.

Yeah, it's interesting. A quiet place was the other one that came out a couple weeks before that, did 50 million opening weekend. Is that $147 million domestically for a horror film? Pretty good. Pretty good. I mean, that's pretty freaking good. Since Barry Diller, Barry Diller is a respected guy in the film industry. He's been chairman and CEO of two Hollywood studios, Paramount and 20th Century Fox.

he has now declared the movie industry dead. He said the movie business as before is finished and will never come back. That's pretty definitive from a movie mogul. And he said it does have to do with the substantial decline in ticket sales and the closure of movie theaters. But he says it's much more than that. And obviously he believes it's the streaming thing. And because of all these deals that have been made where the movie is released immediately onto, say, Amazon or Disney or wherever they release it, HBO Max, that's going to kill the movie theaters. Now, would you, you would continue to go to, do you like it in the movie theater?

I love the movies. Are you okay with it being just at home? I love the movies. I love going to them. I particularly love the Dine-in movie theater revolution. Oh, yeah. That's a good thing. It's not everywhere, really, but it is, it's popped up in most places now. And, you know, Texas, there's about five Dining Theater's within a 10-mile radius here. And I do love that. And they're really nice. And they're good. You can essentially lay down in a in a lazy boy recliner and you have a tray in front of you and you can fill it with. food. Yeah. It's like you're never going to...

It's fun. Look, you could eat at home, but restaurants are fun, right? Like, I like going to restaurants. And this is now Restaurant Plus movie at the same time. I mean, it's fantastic. Yeah, it's a good innovation. Yeah. It really is.

I like it. I think there's a place for them. I think there is an argument to be made that theaters will decrease in, you know, you're going to wind up not having 5,000 theaters to release movies in anymore, you know. But I will say that there's a place around here nearby where we work in tech. that had a movie theater in this sort of local shopping district that closed down during COVID. And I remember thinking like, this is, what are they going to do with the space? I mean, it's not like movie theater companies are like, oh, we need to open up new establishments right now.

Like, how are they going to fill this thing? And they just announced that they are going to be filling it with no longer just a movie theater, but partially a dinan movie theater plus bowling alleys and other. various entertainment, you know, sort of entertainment complex type of thing, which is probably where this stuff goes. Like maybe movies are just part of it. And it's no longer you have 40 movies at a, at a multiplex. It's just changing a little bit, but that's okay.

You know, it's going to be probably more of a niche activity. But if people are still watching the movies, you could still make cash off of this. People will pay 20 bucks. They're paying 20 bucks at home to watch these movies when they get released. You know, everybody's got a streaming subscription. seems like. And I will say all these... Or multiple streaming subscriptions.

I was looking at how many I have and it's disgusting. It's really, I'm actually revolted by how many I have. And of course, the most important one, BlazTV.com. Of course. Slash Glenn promo code Glenn save 10 bucks. Yeah. That's number one. And I'll never cancel that.

But, you know, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO, yes. Do you have Paramount Plus? I don't think I have Paramount Plus. Although I just got an offer from my little credit card that said they're going to pay for a year of Peacock Network, the new NBC one? I have that. I don't have that one yet, but I will be getting it.

And then, of course, after the year expires, I will forget that I have it. And you'll keep paying for it forever. So these things, you know, people are going to wind up doing that. There's obviously a business there, Pat, right? Yeah, there's a business there. Yeah, I think so. And I think you're right.

It's just going to be different. It's going to change. And it's kind of sad. Because everything has changed. You know, we've gone through a ton of change culturally over the last, just five years. But think about the last 10 years or 15 years where you used to go to, you know, you used to go to Hollywood video or Blockbuster video and you used to get the videos and take them home. And it was like you brought down a deer like a 15 point buck.

And you're like, look what I. Look, I got Prince's pride. Yeah, we've seen that 38 times. Take it back. But it was a big deal. And then it's gone, completely gone. You know, the way we listen to music has completely changed over the last few years. And now this, now we're going through this transition too.

So it's going to take some getting used to. And Pat, before we leave this topic, I must tell you about Bloodshot and it's box office revenues. Okay. So it's first week of release, I think I think about this for a release date. March 13th, 2020. My gosh. Wasn't that the very day?

So the 11th was the day the NBA season shut down. You remember that night where like all the people in Oklahoma City were at the game and they canceled and everyone had to leave? Yep. Then March 15th or 16th, I can't remember, was Donald Trump talking about 15 days to slow the spread, right? So it directly between those two events. No, no, no. Directly in between those two events was the release of Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel.

Its first weekend, it opened with $10 million, which is still pretty impressive, if you think about that time period. Yeah. Finish in second place. The next weekend, it came in with zero dollars. My gosh. So just 100%. Drop off.

And where'd it wind up? Right around there. Well, I guess our dollars came in eventually, Pat. our two purchases. Okay, so it was $10 million and $16. $1,877.00.

But here's what it says, Stubergear and Pat Gray prepare to risk their lives to see a movie. Stubbergear. I love these descriptions. descriptions. Stubergear and Pat Gray embark on the most dangerous mission in Texas history. You won't believe the odds that are defied as these two titans of industry face down almost certain death to break the ultimate taboo going to support the movie industry at a movie theater

May 29th, 2020. Yeah. Which, by the way, as you pointed out, Pat. I'll tell you something. Not all heroes wear capes. It's a great point. Thank you. We didn't wear capes.

No. During this adventure. We did not. We didn't wear masks either. No, it seems like they weren't doing it. Yeah, I think that was pre. That was like back when Fauci was still saying don't wear them. Yeah.

They're not necessary. Yeah. I think I feel like I remember we had to bring, like, I don't think they made us wear them. I'm kind of looking at the footage and glancing through it here. And I don't think they actually did wear. I don't think we did. I don't think we did. That was a fun.

I know for a fact we didn't inside the theater. I will say this. Go looking back at the page. pandemic era, that is one thing I will never forget. Because it was creepy. It was like nobody was in there as a ghost town. The parking lot was empty. We got there.

They didn't even open on time. Remember, we stood out in the parking lot for like a half an hour trying to fill time until the movie. They actually opened up the movie. And it was like 10 minutes before the movie started because they knew nobody was coming. I don't know why they even opened. The guy who started the theater bought the actual theater in January of 2020. Right before. Right before the pandemic.

So, geez. Good timing. So, you know, if you are one of these people who is worried about the things that could happen to you, like, if you're out in the, you know, if you're African-Savana and you're like the fattest zebra, the lions are probably looking hardest at you for dinner, right? That's the way this works. It's kind of how it works, too, if you happen to be the type of person who does everything right here in America.

And you go through, you work hard, you get some savings, you put it in your home, you try to pay off your debts. If you have a lot of equity in your home, you are the target for the lions in this situation. And you become the tasty, delicious dinner for cyber criminals. If you are one of those people, you are at the top of the victim list for home title fraud. It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America. And basically, they just forge paperwork that makes it look like you sold your home. Even though you're still living in it, they take advantage. They take out loans against your equity. It's your money. They're taking it. You don't want to have to deal with the legal wranglings to try to unwind this.

It's going to cost you thousands of dollars, even if you're somehow successful. Protect your most valuable asset. Register your address to see if you're already a victim of home title fraud. And you're going to get the complete title history of your home, $100 value for free at hometitleock.com. It's home titlelock.com. Uncertainty continues to grow in Haiti. There's some U.S. suspects. they're looking at.

And so this thing could get kind of ugly for us, I would think. We'll get into that. Tell you what's going on and what's coming up in 60 seconds. Buying or selling a home in these times can be very, very, it can be difficult, especially if you're looking at the market. It's been ridiculous lately. I mean, if you are trying to sell a home, it's a great time to do it. But this could be your big moment in your financial life.

you sell your home and you time this right and you make a lot of money, it can do a lot for your financial future. At the same time, you blow it in a moment like this. It can really hurt you in a serious way. And that means if you're a buyer, too, if you're going to look for a home and you overpay for something that maybe is overpriced in this market, who knows? You've got to find a real estate agent you can trust that knows the market that can do the job, that can help you. You know, I did a, I had a real estate transaction recently where I was like, well, I guess we've got to paint this house. And because, you know, it's not looking great.

And indoors. And our real estate agents said, in this market, you don't need to paint the house. Let them paint the house. They'll paint the house. You don't worry about it. And it sold, you know, day two. It's just one of these situations where the market needs to be understood in full terms by your agent. And you need to have the best agent in your area.

Wherever you are, you can find that person at real estate agents. I trust. dot com. Real estate agents.itrust.com is the place to go. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. You don't have to. AAA 727BECK. It is Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. He's back on Monday morning from his vacation. Things are a little iffy right now in Haiti. They're thinking maybe U.S. citizens are involved here. Yeah. Patient Americans. really is a crazy story.

It is. I mean, you go back to from the, you know, what was it, 1803, Haiti, was a former slave state, gets its independence, and it spent the last 200 years really trying to figure out how to do things on their own with lots of international interference over that time period. They, I guess it was in the 2000s, things are starting to turn around a little bit.

It's starting to go pretty well. They didn't have as many, they had some actually somewhat normal elections and then obviously the earthquake occurs kills 250,000 people think about that on that tiny island I think it's 11 million people gosh I didn't remember it was that many yeah and that doesn't count the people in the aftermath really where where things are continually bad I mean it wipes out huge portions of the cities the infrastructure's gone think about that the worst disaster in U.S. history.

The biggest natural disaster loss of life we've ever had was 6,000 people, I think, in the 6 to 10. They're not sure how many. 6 to 10,000 in the hurricane in Galveston in the early 1900s. And that was the worst disaster we've ever seen. That's 250,000 people in one event. Wow. Yeah, I'm looking at that now because you've told. the story before. And it was before,

mainly because of what they did in the aftermath. Yeah, where they rebuilt the city. They, they, uh, lifted the city 17 feet. It's a remarkable. I don't know how you would do that now. How would you do? Could we do that now? I don't know.

If you could lift Galveston 17 feet higher. But they did. They did back then. It was September 18th, 1900. It was category four hurricane. But again, they didn't know it was coming. Right. That was a big part of it.

There was this before we had satellite, advanced satellite technology and everything. 145 mile an hour winds killed one in six residents in the city. Jeez. Destroyed 3,600 homes. Yeah. And killed an estimated 12,000 people. Yeah. But again, that's 1900.

Yeah. And it's a hurricane coming out of nowhere, basically. Yeah. This is an earthquake, which obviously does come out of nowhere. as well, but in a, in a country with only 11 million people as residents killed 250,000 people. Jeez. Unthinkable. Yeah.

So obviously, this throws the entire country into chaos. There's power struggles. There's chaotic, you know, crime outbreaks. There's just, you know, the whole, it's not a functioning state in Haiti after this. Mm-hmm. So eventually, this guy who was killed the other day gets into power.

It's a disputed election. I think 18% of voters come out to vote in it. Very, very small amount. He wins the entire election with 600,000 votes. So it's a very small amount. It's disputed. They eventually come to some sort of

agreement where he's provisionally put in as president, but there's like a provisional alternate per year. And then he, in his mind, he starts It's his term. Okay. It's a five-year term there.

So he gets through four years and everyone says, okay, see you later. And he's like, no, I might have a five-year term. And they said, well, what about that first year? So there's this disagreement. I mean, think about a country operating this way. There's a disagreement as to whether the president's term is over or not. He says no, shockingly. This tends to be how this happens.

People are like, you need to leave. And he says, I'm not leaving. The election, it's not time for the election yet. we have situations where they've hollowed out to the government. So there's only something like 11 representatives currently serving

in the government nationally elected because many of them have been thrown out with corruption reasons and the government was dissolved but not reformulated at one point. I mean, it's really crazy. Another thing is the president

had dismissed multiple Supreme Court justices and then the chief justice of the Supreme Court died of COVID. So think about the chaos in this situation. Yeah. And it seems to me the Supreme Court justice was supposed to be the next in line. Is that right? You might be right on that. He's next in line for president.

Because now they're kind of like the succession plan is like, well, I don't know. Because he died. And there's two people going for it, essentially. Yeah. So that's all happening. after this assassination. And the assassination is in and of itself a scary and fascinating story. They're at their house.

The house is well guarded with security. And as you'd expect, the president's home to be in a country in the middle of the situation I just described. And apparently they think about 50 people roll up in tactical formations. They come in with lines of vehicles. and also people on foot, they come into the complex. They announce themselves as DEA agents, US DEA agents.

And the way it was described was basically like the DEA is in Haiti often because they're fighting the drug trade. So they're very familiar people there and have a decent amount of pull. They come in and they say we're DEA, like people generally speaking honor that. And apparently they can. came in, said they were DEA. They were not

DEA, at least that's certainly the official story. I mean, I don't think there's anybody who really believes the U.S. government was trying to assassinate this guy in this way. But they came in, they said they were DEA, they were speaking English and Spanish,

were able to go past all of the security, get into the home, go up to the room where the president and his wife were sleeping. His daughter and his son, and his son were there as well. They hid, thankfully.

They executed the president of Haiti, shot him a bunch of times. I don't know what the total number was. I know one of them was in the eye. I mean, there's rumors, at least in Haitian media, that they tortured the guy before they killed him. They also shot the wife, who is still alive and believe in critical condition,

but may make it. Then they left, and they walked out of the facility and never had a shot fired by the security of the president. So it's unclear at this point, you know, their speculation was the security involved? You know, did they know this was going to happen and step aside and allow it to happen? Did they get disarmed by the DEA at the beginning?

And they were able to kind of walk out of there was, you know, were, did they believe that there was an official action and had no idea, the president was even killed. We don't even know at this point the truth there. And we probably won't know for some time. But you wonder how, you might say, okay, Haiti, it's this country. It's not even a functioning state. Should I care about this story other than just the normal human cost that, of course,

that you care about. What's interesting about it is if you think about how this would be framed, if it happened, let's say, here, right? Like, again, I understand that Haiti and America are much different places. but someone comes in and kills a big leader in our government. And we, they announced themselves as Mexican agents. And they're saying they're Mexican, you know, drug enforcement. Can you imagine how we react to that as it's as it is a lot of people will just believe, right?

It was the DEA. A lot of people will believe the U.S. was involved. We now, at least where the reports are that there were two American citizens involved. in the assassination. The one they've announced the name was from Florida, though, of Haitian descent, had interests in Haiti. But an American citizen, how do the Haitian people react to this? And do they blame America? And if they do, do we have another Cuba on our hands?

Do we have another island off the coast relatively close to our country that goes completely the opposite way and becomes an anti-American, you know, global influence of some sort. There's certainly plenty of countries around the world, China, Russia, among them that would love to influence them in that way. And you could bet that they are. You could bet that that chaos is being at least attempted to be manipulated. Yeah. By foreign influence at this time to put another strong oppositional force in our hemisphere. And do we still have them Monroe Doctrine where we don't allow that to go on in our hemisphere. Is that still a thing?

Seems like it, I mean, we sort of enforce that and sort of don't. It seems like sort of selectively because I, you know, in Nicaragua, I think they've kind of been communists for a while, right? Any specific location in Nicaragua? Like Manawana Niyarawa. Oh, okay. Yeah. I think in Manala Niyarawa, they are fairly communist there.

Yeah. Daniel Noriega, who's been there for what? A zillion years. 713 years, I think. We don't have Jeffie in the studio right now, but of course, he fought in the Battle of the Island of Spice. Right. In Grenada.

Right. Which was a situation. That's something we couldn't allow right there. Couldn't allow. And then there was, of course, obviously Cuba being a big, a big situation, which is still ongoing. I mean, we've opened up relations with them. And then, you know, it's changed, gone back and forth several times since.

But the bottom line is they're still there, still chugging along. in our, you know, and you don't, communists specifically, you may not see, but you may see an anti-American regime pop up there in a big way. And it's still pretty close. Yeah. Again, you don't necessarily fear them,

700 miles. You don't fear the might of the Haitian military per se. No, but still. But when you have influence from a China or from a Venezuela or from a Russia or from somewhere else, that's what you know what happens. Yeah. Yeah.

Triple eight, 727, B.E.C. K, Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. We were talking about the biggest disaster in American history. And during the course of that, Stu has stumbled on to the, is it the top 12 disasters in U.S. history? Yeah, they say the worst disasters in U.S. history that left the nation in peril. This is from Everglades University.

I don't know. Everglades, man, that's where I get all my information. Well, the reason why I bring it up is because now every list, This is why they make listicles. Because everyone you read, you have to argue about. And I'm like, well, this is ridiculous. But let me give it to you real quick here, Pat. Number 12, they have the deep water horizon oil spill.

What? Like 11 people died there. Yeah, I mean, that's bad. That's bad, but that's the 12th biggest? Yeah, oil and gas leaked for 87 days. Three million barrels were leaked into the Gulf. There was some damage on the coast, for sure at the time. But generally speaking, I mean...

Remember that oil spill that kind of drifted out to sea? And they were... showing, you know, airborne shots of it. And what are we going to do with this? And then they went out to look at it again and it was gone. And they're like, wait, what, what happened to it? Well, yeah, the Earth took care of it. The Earth is.

The ocean took care of it. Pretty amazing place, isn't it? It is. Number 11 is Hurricane Harvey. Now, that's a big one. Hurricane Harvey. Second cost is, costly as hurricane to affect the U.S. mainland since 1900. Category 4 storm, $125 billion in damage.

the rainiest Atlantic hurricane ever to be measured and really just flooded Houston to a degree that you know it was absolutely incredible and still they're still dealing with some of the ramifications of that number 10 Hurricane Katrina I would think Katrina would be higher on this list Katrina comes in at number 10 1833 people died 80 billion dollars of damage

in 2005 of that storm that really obviously we all remember that one number nine the peasant Peshtigo fire. Pesh tigo fire. Yeah, October 8th, 1871. Oh, okay. That's why I don't remember. Today, probably would have been controllable.

But back then, it's spread to 1,875 square miles. Killed 1,500 people. What? Yeah. Wow. One of the worst disasters in U.S. history, number nine. That I can't remember ever hearing about. Yeah, it's kind of, I mean, 1800s.

The Pash Tigo fire? Could anybody tell you what that is? I don't know. I mean, I just, I mean, I knew it. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Yeah, you did.

Number eight, the Johnstown flood, which is one memorialized for sure. This was 1889, killed 2,209 people. Wow. A dam sent 20 million gallons of water into the Mississippi River, creating a wave 70 feet high that traveled 14 miles. What? Destroying everything and everyone in its path, according to this listicle. Number seven, the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Now, again, I put the Katrina head of Exxon Valdez.

Oh, yes. Yeah, right? Come on. I mean, it was one of the worst. But we lose some birds on that. Is that why? Many birds. We didn't have enough dove liquid soap to wash the birds off.

There was a dove shortage. Yeah, there was a dove shortage. And we couldn't wash all the birds. And so. Coincidence, it's named after a bird. Oh, yeah. That's one of those things they don't talk about, Pat. Yeah.

But 1989, that was, of course, oil spread over 1,300 miles, 10 million gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean. And there was a lot of environmental damage, of course, associated with that. But again, what happened to the oil? Where'd the oil go? I, well, people drank it. People drank it. Did they go out drinking?

In Flint, Michigan. That's how that happened. Oh, wow. Yep, that's how that happened. I hate when that happened. This is interesting. Ahead of Hurricane Katrina, they have Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, of September 2017, killed 2,975 people. Officials believe it was.

much, much higher. Not the U.S. No, this is Puerto Rico. Yeah. Official death count was previously 64. The storm caused $90 billion in Puerto Rico and $1.6 billion across the Caribbean. I mean, that was really bad. And I, you know, that was one of those things where these are U.S. citizens, by the way.

You know, that was, that was very damaging. San Francisco earthquake number five disaster. It was April 18th, 1906. 3,400 people died. 80% of the city destroyed. 3,400. Imagine if 80% of San Francisco was destroyed today, how many people would die? Oof.

These events can really in magnitude ramp up pretty quickly. Number four, Galveston, Texas Hurricane. We just discussed that. 3,600 homes destroyed 12,000 people killed. Hurricane in 1900. Biggest loss of life. They have number three, COVID-19. Now, of course, COVID-19 has a much higher death toll than anything else on this list.

Kind of a weird thing to insert in the middle of this. I don't know why you'd put that on the list. And it's not number one with 600,000 plus dead. Bizarre. They have number two, September 11th, 2001. Again, like, this is not a natural disaster, but 2,973 victims killed. And we all remember that day. And then they have number one, the most famous disaster and worst disaster in U.S. history

that left the nation in peril. So I guess you're talking about what the repercussions are, what the feeling of the country is, what changes afterward. And maybe you could count this one as number one, Pearl Harbor. 2,403 Americans killed. However, obviously World War II kicks into high gear after that and we get involved in it in a big way. So, I mean, I think if you're looking at it from just the impact of the event, Pearl Harbor 1, September 11th, 2, COVID 3, Galveston Hurricane 4, San Francisco earthquake 5. I mean, it depends on, again, you're thinking death tolls, you're making a totally different list. Yeah.

If you're thinking natural disasters, you get a different list on there. But Pearl Harbor arguably was the most impactful day in the history of the United States. I mean, I think you could make that argument. Yeah, you could. How many people died in the Chicago fire? I wonder. They didn't even list that, right? That's not even the top.

Below the deep water oil spill? You got to put Chicago fire ahead of that. I'm calling Everglades University right after this. Yeah, get them on the horn right now. Change your listical. Yeah. We're a little offensive. by your listicle.

That's modern society today. The anger and the outrage is billing over this listicle at this small college. We're just about to start going downtown. We're heading downtown to start looting right now. That's what we're doing. That's how pissed off we are. It's Pat and Stu on the Glebbeck program.

He'll be back on Monday. You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, right before this one, 7 to 9 Eastern. anytime on the podcast you love. While you listen to the podcast, you could also get yourself some cookies from a kexy cookie. And try the new butter beer flavor. It's really good.

It's delicious. It is delicious. Really, really good. They're all great, but that one is particularly like I never had that flavor before. It's kind of a butterscotchy thing. It's very good. Yeah. It's very good.

Good job. Nice work. I know you did all. Oh, my gosh. I researched and poured over recipes. Yeah. And you make all the cookies yourself. Yeah, in a hollow tree. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah.

That's a terrible place to bake things. I know. It's so dry right now. I'm just a little nervous at fire season. Yeah, really dangerous. By the way, as we kind of get past the July 4th holiday, Glenn Beck will be coming back next week on Monday. We're all sort of inching into summer a little bit, maybe the first time you're thinking about that. And I think it's important to ask yourself a question, do you believe? that Nancy Pelosi sucks. And if you answer is yes for me. It is.

Yeah, it is yes. Well, if you do, you need a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. We just got some new ones in. Available once again at Nancy Pelosi sucks pen.com. Check them out there. You definitely need one of these in your life. Nancy Pelosi sucks pen.com. They're handsome pens too.

They are. Thank you very much. Yeah. I appreciate that. Let me, uh, there's a, there's a new fitness test going on. And there's an idea, I don't know if you know this, there's no difference between men and women. There's no difference at all. No discernible, physical difference.

No. They're almost exactly the same. In fact, that's why it's so easy to switch genders because you're basically the same thing. So when we open up our world to this new, woke environment, where we recognize that there's no differences between the genders whatsoever. You can't even tell which one is which. How could you know? No one could know. So this has now been sort of implemented or is being implemented in the military where they said,

you know what? We don't need a different physical fitness test for men and women. After all, they're the same. So they're getting rid of the gendered fitness test for military members. And I think you could argue that's actually a pretty good idea. If you can't pass the fitness test, you probably shouldn't be. Yeah, there should just be one fitness test for everybody getting into the military. So in a way, I kind of agree with this policy change.

Military.com has a report out talking about the early data, and it's showing some things that are making us a little uncomfortable in our new woke world, Pat. Early data shows nearly half of female soldiers can't pass the test and might face being removed from service once it becomes official next year. The Army is now reconsidering and thinking about a return to gender's specific fitness standards. Oh my gosh. Now, here are the results, and you tell me if you, this is shocking to you. 44% of women have failed the fitness test. Only 7% of men have failed the fitness test.

When it comes to a perfect score, 66 female soldiers have a perfect, or 500 out of 600. So a very good score. So 66 female soldiers, 31,000. 9778 male soldiers were able to do the same thing. So if it's officially adopted, the uniform standards would prevent women from advancing through the ranks as readily as men as physical fitness scores are heavily considered in promotions for some reason, according to military. I can't think of any reason why you would do that in the military. Can you think of any? I can't think of why you might need that.

That's really weird. You know, these laws are completely different standards for men as women. Right? Yeah. It should be completely different. I think what you should do is you should have two tests, male and female, but allow the males to say that they're females if they fail the test for men. So they can retroactively just say, look, yeah, how about this, judge me on the female standards?

Because I'm identifying as such today. Right. And if you happen to be a very physically fit woman, you can identify as a male and get into that test. Okay. I like it. We're just, that's the way you should do it, I think. these laws are unfair to women, Pat. I would argue as a military, you should not care about any of the woke nonsense that's out there

because that's how you get in trouble with a military. The only thing you should consider is whether your military is able to defeat other militaries. And that's not the case, though. Have you been listening to the generals under this administration lately? It's amazing. It's amazing. Some of these guys were around during Trump, too, and we're doing some interesting. things behind the scenes.

Yeah, and Trump was pissed. Trump was pissed about that. Trying to put a stop to that. However, we have now another law, Pat, that's unfair to women. I just love this headline. A nation conceived in liberty confronts its squeasiness with the Milfmobile. The Milf Mobile. You might not know what the Milf Mobile is.

Hopefully you know what Milfs are, just from the point of I really can't explain them on the air, other than to say it's sort of like the hot mom, a mom who people think is attractive. I can't really go into the full acronym, but you can, if you don't know it, feel free to look it up, though I don't necessarily recommend Googling it at work. Okay, so the Milfmobile is a van in Maine.

Okay, it's driven by a mom who is she hot? I don't know if she's hot. I don't know if she is an actual milf. but I will say she believes she is. So on the back of her van in large letters, it says Milfmobile. It's a big logo on the back of her van. Now, she also has a license plate and she's fighting for her constitutional right to maintain this license plate. And again, I can't tell you what the license plate says, unfortunately, on the air.

What I will say... But as you described it to me before, it has something to do with breastages, her snoobit. right and it's a it's a it's a T word that has to do with snooage and you can't yeah it's it's one of George Carlin's words you do not have the right to put that on your license plate how dare you putting I'm sorry there's no there's no constitutional right to put that word on a license plate that's what she does does not agree quite the opposite and they're trying to figure out whether a new law banning vulgar vanity plates sets the stage for a free speech showdown in Maine now she does not only have the snooble

related vanity plate and the Milfmobile on the back of her car. She also has some other

some other stickers if you'd like me to explain some of them Pat I think are any explainable? Kind of. Kind of.

One of them is there are kids in this bitch honk if one falls out. Okay. All right. Now this one is a

little bit It's kind of funny. A little risque. It says if you're going to ride my rear ed

at least pull my hair. And then another that says, so stupid. Wow. Another that says, condoms prevent minivans, which is actually, I think, arguably true. That's probably true. So she's fighting for a constitutional right to protect the Milfmobile.

And I don't know how you feel about it, Pat. That's a wild woman right there. That's good for her. And we have one other story here. She married? What's that? Is she married? I wonder what her husband thinks of the Milfmobile.

It's a great question. I wouldn't necessarily picture any husband being particularly high on the Milfmobile. No, I wouldn't either. No. Maybe Jeffrey would be. Other than that, I don't know that I know anyone who would be high. First of all, for who among us? It doesn't have a Milfmobile.

And this is a shocking one, Pat, because I've been looking at some of the crime statistics lately. And what we're seeing. as a trend is interesting and that it's pretty flat for the last like 15 years at crime rate and then all of a sudden it shoots up dramatically

and you might say well was it during COVID well it was during COVID but specifically it ties directly to the Minneapolis riots shocking to me I was stunned by this information and it stayed really high

since the riots It's come down a tad, but basically has stayed really high since this era of BLM has helped us along so much. Is this the murder rate or is it just violent crime or is it crime in general? Let me, because it was all. Because the murder rate is way up in this country. What's interesting is the murder rate is way up. This is homicide. Okay.

Now homicide does also include other killings, not necessarily just murders. Homicide includes more than that. But still, it is way, way, way up by 29%. But somebody's been killed illegally, right? No, no, homicide. It's not? Like, for example, a police justified shooting is technically a homicide. Oh, okay.

However, it does not a murder. Right. It might not be a crime involved in it. However, murders and those crimes are included in the homicide number. So there can be, you can be a homicide and not a murder. You can not be a murderer without a homicide. Okay. Okay.

So anyway. Somebody's dead, though, is what we're saying. Somebody's dead. And the race, so the riot is, the race is dramatic in right as, right as these things hit, right as these riots hit and stays up very, very high. Going back to the levels of the late 90s, which is when it was first coming down from that ugly era of the 80s and 90s. So we're going back a long way. We've wiped out 25 years of gains against murder. And it was dramatic, too, because in the early, late 80s, early 90s,

For instance, New York City had, I think one of their biggest years was 2,300 murders. Was it 20? If I'm not mistaken, it was somewhere around 2,300. Well, you know, now or before this latest rise, it was into the 3 and 400 area. Yeah, dropping 70, 80, 90% of areas. Yeah, a lot. And now to have all of that, you know, all of that progress just kind of eliminated. All wiped out, Pat, to protect.

Black lives because they matter so much to these organizations. They care so much about black lives that they're willing to sacrifice some of them to raise money for new homes. That's how much they care about black lives. Right. And remember, there's also the study that we talked about where this does not include 2020, where this rise is happening. But between 2014 and 2019, they studied areas that had large BLM protests. And what they found is that they did. protect 300 quote unquote homicides of police against against citizens.

Now, of course, the overwhelming majority of those would have been justified shootings, but they say, hey, we did prevent 300, according to the study. At the same time, they did increase the rate of murder among civilians and caused one to six thousand additional murders of civilian versus civilians. So you save 300 police shootings, most of which would have been justified against criminals, and you get rid of 1 to 6,000 actual citizens who were murdered by other citizens. What a win. Unbelievable. Anyway, they're now saying law enforcement advocates are explaining there's a mass exodus from police officers and from police forces.

Retirements. No. Yep. I mean, this isn't a super fun and fulfilling time for police officers to be a police officer? Yeah, it's weird. A police officer? You'd think this is a great time to be. Yeah.

You would. You get all that wonderful attention. Everyone's always pointing cameras at you and blaming you for racist murders when it's not your fault at all. That's, you know, sometimes we do know there are bad cops, but everyone just gets lumped in to the category of bad cops. And for some reason, the good cops don't like that. Huh. They seem to be leaving in mass. They're kind of picky then.

Wow. That's what I say about cops. Kind of picky. Kind of picky. It's gotten to the point where they don't even want to be, you know, confused with douchebags or. killers, you know. They don't want to be accused of any of that. That's pretty picky.

AAA 727 B-E-C-K. AAA 933-93-93. No, it's AAA-7-27-B-E-C-K. Okay, only on the last break did I finally get the number wrong. You did two weeks of the last. And the last is so weird.

All right, Pat and Stufer, Glenn. He's back on Monday. Have you seen the video of Biden yesterday talking about Afghanistan where he stops again. He's just like stunned for, I don't know, five to six seconds during his speech. Check this out.

This is Joe Biden talking about Afghanistan yesterday. We went for two reasons. One to... Hello? Bring... Oh, my gosh. Is that amazing? To the gates of hell.

Okay. Pause. The word bring? Yeah. To bring, you don't even have that noise. that would be better than what happened. Because you know he's still there at least. Osama bin Laden.

It's embarrassing. I don't know how. I mean, his brain literally locks up multiple times a day. And it's rough to watch. It is. Not to mention we should point out that he is on record saying he basically. He opposed it. He opposed it.

Because it was the toughest decision in 500 years. That's right. And he advised against it. Advised against taking out the world's most notorious terrorist. Yeah, and now he's taking credit for it. Unbelievable. For two reasons. One, to bring Barack Obama.

No. Osama bin Laden. Uh, carrot top. Somebody. It was someone. The dialed down the middle guy. It was carrot. It was.

It was careful. Unbelievable. It's a good sign for a country. You know, I'm optimistic. Yeah, me too. Me too. This is fun, Pat. Thank you for coming in and filling in. My pleasure.
