I want to tell you first about our spotlight sponsor. It's rec tech. If you purchase rec tech, you might think you're kind of just purchasing a top quality piece of very, very sleek and sexy cooking equipment. And you are. But you're also purchasing a way of life. Honestly, who needs a pizza delivered when you can make your own pizza in your rec tech? Nobody does.

You can pull into a drive-thru. Sure, you can. Or you can grill up burgers or whatever you want on your rec tech. When you cook on a rec tech, you have arrived with its smart grill technology. It is, I mean, honestly, the coolest thing. Glenn was telling me all about the, you can do all of this on your app. I mean, it shows you the exact temperature. You don't even have to go outside.

And if you are like me, I like grilling when it's cold because, you know, you don't it's, I don't know, there's something cool about cooking outside when it's freezing. I've done enough tailgate parties to be able to remember that experience. Even though it's kind of warm down here, if you're, you're in a cold environment. You can just, you know, go outside, put your food on the grill, go back inside, watch it all happen on your phone. It's really cool.

Follow rec tech, R-E-C-T-E-Q on all their social media, sign up for their newsletter. R-C-T-E-Q, R-C-T-E-K-E-E-K at the end, R-E-C-T-E-Q. All right, a lot going on today. You know, I don't know what to... There's all sorts of stuff that basically is revolving around the election. I understand the election stuff is important. I'm getting to the point of I'm sick of talking about it. I was already sick of talking about it in like the summer.

They'd already been talking about the election for so long. And then you had the riots and the coronavirus stuff. And, you know, man, we have been beat up this year. We have been beat up this year. And the good thing to remember is once the calendar turns to 2021, everything in your life is going to get a lot better. Because it's just the numerical year that's screwing us up. Everything else is going to be solved once we get past just 2020.

Everything's going to be fine. So we have, that's not true, by the way, at all. In any way, let's see, there's some good, pretty interesting stuff that I'm interested in the Staten Island bar that has decided to first declare itself a autonomous zone and then come out and, and now the police are guarding it as if it's like, you know, the line between North and South Korea. I don't understand what is going on here. We have Biden has now said he will keep Fauci on as COVID response.

Now, Fauci's been there forever. He's been through a ton of presidents. I think he was actually the head of infectious disease response under the Woodrow Wilson administration. and Samuel Adams or John Adams and Samuel Adams the beer. He was running the beer company

back in the day and then turned over to John Adams. We'll get into that, of course, coming on as well. And we found out recently that George Clooney cuts his hair with a floby.

We have that breaking news for you as well. It's not quite as breaking as the fact that Joe Biden's going to have a cat in the White House. It's not quite to that level of importance. But it's not quite to that level of importance. It is the sort of journalism you can expect right now from your media.

It is interesting to watch the media sort of like fold into the way they were during the Obama administration where they just, their job was to just kiss butt. Their job was not to ask tough questions. I mean, it was that point where you'd be like shocked when they would ask a difficult question. We would be praising people like, you know, John Carl when they would ask one tough question because it was like an amazing moment of the day. We'd play the clips back. Like, look at it. Listen to this. Barack Obama got asked a tough question.

It would be like the story of the day back then. That's all it's been now for four years of nonstop badgering by the press. And it's good to see them kind of settle back into the place they want to be. They did ask Obama tough questions like, what is the thing that enchanted you the most, inspired you the most, made you the most handsome? That's pretty penetrating. Those are tough questions. and that's what he had to deal with. I'm sure Biden will deal with the same thing.

Yeah, I'm sure. That's coming up here in just a minute here, Pat. We've got a bunch of great stuff today. What was the final and more on trivia? Yeah, we had to revert back to the half-time score of 8-7 Philadelphia, which we all know is not going to happen. Hey, I don't think that's true. The Eagles have a great chance of beating the Packers.

I can't even say it with a straight face. If you believe in magic, I guess. What to hear is the future. of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn's out again today. It is Pat and Stu for Glenn. Hopefully he'll be back on Monday.

They can't scare us enough on this thing. there can't be enough fear mongering to go around for this new administration if they do, in fact, become the new administration. Have we not reached the point here where they realize that sort of stuff doesn't work on people? Like just scaring people to death. It's just not effective.

I don't think they do realize that because they keep doing it. And, you know, I think we played it yesterday, the Biden thing where he says don't travel for Christmas. because we're going to have 250,000 people die before January. That would be a lot. That would be notable. It would be notable, wouldn't it? It's almost as notable as when Kamala Harris said. We're looking at over 220 million Americans who just in the last several months died.

I mean, that's too many. If I may go out on that limb, I'm going to, that's just too many people. You can't have 220 million Americans die in just a few months. Okay. So if we can cut that to 250,000, that's, you know, that's progress. Yeah. But either way, that's still a lot of people.

You know, we should, we should probably do better than that. That's it. I think you're right. I'm going to go out on the limb and say that I think you are correct. Yeah, no, they will just, instead of just giving people reliable information they can count on, and letting them make their own decisions, they've gone down this road. And we've seen over and over and over again

that this is not the way to go. It's certainly not the way to treat Americans. You've seen some Asian countries, for example, who have done relatively well with the virus. And part of that is they've been dealing with these viruses popping up routinely for a long time. Yeah, with South Korea one that... South Korea's done pretty well.

...really was successful, and I think they still are. Yeah. Hong Kong. Japan has been... And what is the difference? What are they doing that we're not doing? I mean, first of all, they have a lot more flexibility in their constitution than we do. You know, I am the type of person, Pat, who would say the freedoms that we have in this country not worth a dictatorship.

Really? I'd rather have what we have. You're saying that freedom should not just be flushed down the toilet when something goes wrong? Right. So I'm on the... I'm on the cost-benefit analysis of this situation. Freedom is going to win the day for me. Really?

However, probably, it's probably easier to stop a pandemic if you're a dictatorship. I think if you can just tell us, if you can just be like China and weld people into their homes, you can you can probably stop the spread a little bit. Yeah. You know, whenever when you have like an outbreak in a community and you can just, I don't know, all the people in the community disappear. it does seem to be easier to control the virus with those sorts of standards. And I think there's a lot of different things playing into that, particularly in Asia, where they've had, you know, SARS pop up and a million of these other scares.

They've dealt with some things. They're used to dealing with this type of thing. They're also used to dealing with a government who, you know, in their system of government can tell them, yeah, you guys are just going to stay home for an extended period of time. Don't worry about it. Yeah. That's not what we're used to here. you got a, I think, some almost unexpected, I think,

compliance from the American people early on where they said, okay, well, you know, six weeks, two weeks to stop the spread and then turn into six. You're like, okay, I think the American people were pretty much on board for that. I mean, even though it was a difficult thing, I'm not saying that, you know, everyone loved the policy, but people were willing

to give them the benefit of the doubt and try to do what they could as we learned more about the virus, as we stocked up on things like masks. And, you know, at the beginning of this was, it was amazing that we were not prepared. And that's not a Trump administration thing. It's amazing just to see how the country was not really ready for this. But after that, it started to get to a point where we all realized we have to be able to have a country that's open.

We have to be able to have, we can't just shut down the economy. We have to be able to figure this out. Because then you're hurting people in other ways. Yeah. And they never really adjusted the messaging all that much. I mean, you certainly hear people now say that they're not going to go back into lockdowns and schools. They've come a long way on schools. And these are things that I think conservatives were saying from the very beginning.

You've got to keep schools open. I mean, how do you get the nurses and the doctors to go to work if you have all the schools closed? How is this happening? So that came along. That's come along now. I think even in places like New York City, they're like, okay, we need to open these schools up. Especially since the infection rate among the kids is pretty low. It's still pretty low.

And even Dr. Fauci is admitting that. Now, let me ask you this, though. What about this proposal? And it's a great one. Would you be willing to get a COVID vaccine in exchange for a $1,500 stimulus check? So in other words, they're bribing you to get the vaccine with $1,500 from the government. Yeah. I think it's an interesting policy, actually, because they're trying to get people to do it, obviously.

John Delaney, a Democrat from Maryland, it's his idea. He actually ran for president for about 15 minutes. To be clear, if other people have proposed this. I don't know if, I mean, Delaney may have as well. He's getting the credit for it for some reason. But, I mean, I've heard this discussed on, you know, multiple conservative sources. The stimulus check for the vaccination? Yeah, because they're going to give another stimulus check anyway.

So I think the thought is, hey, why don't we tie it to the vaccination? And so that people will actually go out and get it. And it's also, there's also kind of an interesting thing that goes on here in that, usually like, wealthier people who are better off. are number one more likely to want to get the vaccine. And number two, have better access to health care to get the vaccine. So one of the things they're struggling with is how do we get this to communities who might not, you know, hit those levels of income? Especially since the virus is so racist. It is a very racist.

And is infecting minorities at a much higher rate than white people. Yeah, I mean, look, you know, you live in usually if you're maybe not as well. healthy. You might live in a less, uh, more dense area, right? You might live with more relatives from multiple generations. There are reasons why, you know, it's going to hit those communities harder. And so they're trying to figure out ways to do it. And they're like, well, people who are in those communities might very well be motivated by $1,500 to go get their check. Um, you know, if you're going to some upper class neighborhood, they might not be as, you know, they're going to do what they want to do. But, you know, $1,500 is not nothing. That's a lot of money. Yeah. And, you know, that is kind of what they're,

talking about now. And I think people will probably get on board with it, honestly. I would not be surprised if something like this comes to fruition. And I guess it seems like 75% is the percentage they're looking for to have inoculated. Delaney said, the faster we get to 75% of this country vaccinated, the faster we end COVID. So is that what they're assuming is that it's going to take about 75%? Because I've heard percentage is much lower than that. to where we're pretty much okay. Yeah, so there's a bunch of disagreement on this. There are some pretty legitimate scientists who think it's, you know,

more like 40 or 50% would be okay. That's closer to the number I've heard. Yeah. And then there's people on the internet who will tell you it's like 1%. One? You know, I think on the internet, everyone just assumes we're constantly in herd immunity. At least half the audience, the other half the audience says we'll never get to it. So it's hard to understand when you're on social media.

but there are there are scientists it's not i wouldn't say it's the leading scientific uh position it's you know you get in these things it's a new virus and everyone's trying to figure it out and everyone has their theories but like it is there are some people who believe it's going to be less you know with their t cells and and familiarity with former coronaviruses that all play into each other yeah and it could be more like 40 or 50 i think that the typical number is about six is about two thirds so if you go 75% have the inaculation it's not 100% effective so So it'll get you to about two thirds. You got to remember, though, too, that a lot of people, like myself, are COVID-19 survivors.

Yes. And you've already got the... I've already had it. The platelets or the antibodies or the... Right. So I really should be last in line to get it, if, you know, until it's widely available, at least, when they're still rationing it. They're not going to give it to people who have already had it, probably.

But I think it's an interesting idea, actually, especially because, especially because, because we all know, let's be honest about this for a second, we all know they're going to pass another stimulus bill tied to COVID. Obviously. I mean, it's definitely going to happen. Even the Republicans are like, ah, how about a trillion dollars? And then the Democrats are like, how about $3 trillion? Likely, we're going to end up somewhere around a trillion or one and a half, something like that.

So you have to expect that that's coming. And if it's going to come anyway, you know, you want people. Might as well get a benefit for taking the vaccine. Yeah. What if we use, okay, like the election, what if we get more people vaccinated than we have people in this country? What about that? 150% inoculation? Yes, if we can do it with the election, we can certainly do it with the vaccine.

But Congress has been working on for months on this agreement and can't come to an agreement on the stimulus package. So they're still at odds. even as 12 million people could lose unemployment benefits in a few weeks if nothing's done. So that's why I think a lot of people in Congress are looking at this as, yeah, that's maybe doable. Maybe we just bribe people to get the vaccine. Then we kill two birds with one stone. Although I think you're still going to have some resistance to the vaccine.

Oh, yeah. It's surprising to me how, I mean, my producer, Packray unleashed, Keith Malinac, really adamant about not getting the vaccine. Yes. And he's currently at home. at home because of a COVID scare, which is interesting. Yes. Yes. Yeah, no, I think a lot of people will have that.

I tend to believe, and I could be wrong on this, tend to believe, that you're going to have about half the country, the polling seems to show about half the country is fine taking it. Half the country has some level of skepticism. I think it was something like 60% of people are fine taking it in the first couple months and they don't necessarily want to be first in line. But, I mean, the first couple of months, It's something like 60%.

And, you know, there's probably 10 to 20% who are like hardcore never going to take it no matter what. It's that other group to get you to 70% which might be, you know, 10 to 20% of the people who fall into that group. I tend to believe that if it's as effective as it seems to be, if these numbers hold up and there aren't bad stuff. And people don't turn into lizards or something after getting the vaccine. Then people will just be like, all right, screw it. Let's get this over with. Yeah. I talk to a guy.

If you start seeing a group of lizards, though, that used to be people and now aren't anymore because they got the vaccine and this turns out to be a side effect. I think that's going to cut down in the amount of people that want to take it.

I think a good 10% of people will if they know they're going to turn into a lizard will say they don't want to take the vaccine. I think it's at least 10%. I talked to a guy last night on Studez America who took it who was in the vaccine trials and went through both shots.

I'll tell you his story here in about one minute. All right. Credit card debt. You don't want to have that going on. It's not fun. If you've been in the middle of dealing with credit card debt in 2020, you are not alone. People have the credit cards for emergency situations just like this.

It is Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glimbeck program. Yes, I talked to Adam Gillette. He's a guy who was in, he lives in Florida, and he does a lot of traveling, and they had an option for him to join the COVID-19 vaccine trials. He signed up for it. Now, I think I mentioned this one before. I signed up for the trials as well. Did you really?

Yeah, I did. I did not get in. They deemed me too sexy to be representative of the American people. people. Weird. They're like, what's the point? That was the reasoning behind it, though, that they gave you. Either that or they just never emailed me back. Too sexy. Most people, you know, a lot of people tried to get into it and did not. But he got into it and actually took the, he took the Moderna vaccine, I believe it was the Moderna one. Okay. And, uh, do you know if you're in the controlled group or not?

No. So you, so you, so it's interesting because you have half the population in the trial gets the vaccine, half get the placebo. And so he, it's a two share of the share. shot process. First shot he had had no side effects at all. And when he got the second dose, he spent one night, he had chills and he had a slight fever. And he got very excited about that because he knew that meant he had the vaccine. He must have had it. You wouldn't get that from the placebo. But very minor side effects. And so it was almost like the beginning of actually getting COVID. Right. Because chills and a fever are. Could be one of those. Yes. some of the symptoms. Yeah.

But yeah, that was, that was, that was it. And he was, that he was fine the next day? Yeah, he said he ran five miles the next day, which I found to be just irritating. No human being is supposed to run five miles. You don't need to rub it in, show off. Relax on that.

I've run five miles as well, combined in my entire life. So, yeah, but he, so yeah, I mean, obviously you never know, you only can, you can only really only check the effectiveness of a vaccine when you talk about an entire population, right? You can't just say, oh, I didn't get it. Well, maybe he wasn't going to get it anyway. We don't know if it's effective on one person per se, but the results of the trials look really promising. And, you know, I can understand, you know, I think if you don't want to take the vaccine, you shouldn't have to take it. I don't think there's any, to me, there's any personal

liberty argument among, you know, for a mandate. But when you talk about wanting to have the economy really open, not like it is now, not like it is, even in the same. summer at the lowest point of COVID when most of them things are open up as much as the literally back to normal literally back to normal that is a path to do it now another path to do it would be developing a treatment right but but a vaccine is that is much is going to be it's just come along faster they they've tried a lot of treatments a lot of them have chipped away at the death rate on this thing but it has not it's you know it's not it's we're still in this place i mean i've talked about this a lot and we talked about it yesterday as well that

you know, this week was going to be a week where because of the data delays from Thanksgiving, we're going to get all these peaks and records this week. And that's happened. But it's also real. I mean, like, it's not just that. It's not just data building up. Like, we are in a period.

Hospitalizations is the one stat that doesn't really do this. And we are at an all-time high by a large margin in hospitalizations over COVID. We're over 100,000, which is, I mean, in March, we were only at 60,000. The difference is just that we're very, it's very spread out right now. You know, so it's not as intense as it was in New York. It's just more widespread. And that's going to wind up making the numbers very large, unfortunately. But it's not, it's, it is a totally different situation than it was in March and April.

So just get us to immunity by next football season. Yes. So that we don't have to go through this nonsense again with no fans in the stands. We just get there. That's a real, yeah. To me it is. It's one of those. Also, I don't want BYU to have to cancel all their games again and come up with, you know,

the school for the deaf and blind play, you know, matchup. Because when BYU and the school for the deaf and blind get together on the football field, you can throw out all the record books. Yeah, no, I've heard that. From you, I've heard it. But that is, I have heard it before. By the way, we have like a few seconds here before the break. I mean, BYU, an actual national championship kind of content.

tender, right? Yeah. Top 10 team. Yeah. And they've got a ranked game this weekend. They got a big game against another unbeaten, 14th ranked in the Associated Press Bowl, Coastal Carolina. And you might be saying who?

Yeah, this year they've really come on strong. They've been at the top division of college football for only like four or five years. So they put together a really good program in a short amount of time. And college game day, ESPN's college game day, going to be there. Wow. Now for the hype machine to really kick it into gear on the quarter. People don't know. Pat's a BYU alum.

He went there. No. No? So why are you a fan? It's a good question. It's a really good question. So giving gifts this year is going to be a little more complicated than in previous years. But that doesn't mean you have to resort to the old standbys, you know, socks and underwear.

And those little flashlights that are supposedly going to save your life but just end up getting lost in a drawer somewhere. I don't know. Do people give those as gifts still? after everything that's happened this year, I want to get everyone a gift that I know people will actually appreciate that that's important. Something that'll make them go,

Three of the all-time great shows that are also available on podcast represented today, filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can listen to live right immediately preceding the show, or you can listen on podcast, listen and watch. Stu does America, which same thing. Well, it's not immediately preceding this show, but it's... A. PM East too. Sometime later. Okay. Or you can listen to it any time on the podcast.

And then you've got... Well, no, those are the only ones we're talking about. I mean, then there's chewing the fat. I don't know why you're... Chewing the fat. Yes. Huh. Okay.

Available wherever podcasts are. All right. So, you're joining us now to chew the fat. I am. Thank you. And what do you have? I don't know if you talked about it yesterday or not because, I mean, I'm sorry, I missed it. I missed the broadcast yesterday.

But I, there's a video released from the state of New York where people are chanting and hollering in the streets. And I can't make out what they're saying. And I was hoping, especially used to that you'd be able to, I know you understand New York. Yeah, it was more to New York. That you could help me understand what they're saying. Sure.

In this video. Mm-hmm. Whoa, whoa sucks. Hmm. Tough to pick up. Mm-hmm. Can we hear it again? I can't.

Can we know. Womo sucks. Some. I can't make it out what they're saying. It almost sounds like. Somebody sucks, I think. Can we hear it one more time? I can't quite.

Womo sucks. Womo sucks. It's difficult, Jeff. You're right. It's tough to pick up. I think it might be. It almost sounds like something like, Cuomo sucks?

Yes. That's it. Cuomo sucks. I knew you would know. Thank you. And it's interesting because in New York, the governor of New York is Andrew Cuomo and he sucks. So that would make sense. Cuomo sucks.

Makes perfect sense. Right. For a New Yorker to want to chant. Gosh darn it. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm so glad I brought that in to figure that one out. I was talking to somebody the other day about this relative who lives in New York.

And we were talking about Andrew Cuomo. And of course, obviously, I believe Andrew Cuomo is awful. Dot com. But we were talking about like it hasn't really changed in the polling his approval rating all that much. It's gone from like, at one point it was almost like 80%. And it's gone down to like the 70s or the 60s. But it needs to be like one. Like one.

Like I can understand his family. At the most. Yeah. Like maybe his family. Chris, his brother likes him. Yeah. And that's it. That should be it.

It should be like one person. He doesn't even like him anymore. The daughter had the boyfriend that was working at the mansion. and Cuomo shipped him off to the border. No, you're seeing my daughter? Yeah, no, Canadian border. Yeah, that is great. It was good.

That actually kind of, something like that did happen. Yes. So, you know, I don't know. Well, let's turn around in New York. I mean, they're obviously so liberal, but you, at some point when, you know, you have a liberal governor who you might like some of their policies, but you realize, you know, they've killed your grandparent, you know, I don't know. That would tend to dampen your attitude. I would think so.

It definitely seems like New Yorkers are becoming more outspoken about how bad Cuomo is, but the polls haven't moved enough for my liking yet, Pat or Jeffey. It's pissing me off. Also, I'm looking forward to the new brand new streaming service. We don't have enough streaming services in our lives anymore. No, Quibi. Quibi's no more. Quibi's no more.

This is exciting news. Discovery Plus. Discovery. Discovery. Discovery. is going to be a new streaming service looking forward to it. We've all been clamoring for that. I know. And finally they responded.

55,000 episodes, 2,500 current and classic shows. I mean, and it's going to be, all their networks, I mean, they have HDTV, food, TLC, own planet Earth, and of course the ever popular and more. And so, I love that show. I know, me too. How much you're willing to pay for the streaming service for a discovery?

for Discovery Plus. I'm going to go zero dollars, but also they're charging a little bit more. They're charging a little bit more than that. Are they really? Yeah, they are. 499. $4.99 a month. $6.99 ad free

for Discovery Plus. That's interesting. I don't know. I know. It's just people will get to the point. And look, we happen to be, there happens to be a Blaze TV that we all love and would love you to subscribe to.

Please do blazattsdiv.com slash Glenn. But it is, there is some sort of, like, how many different subscriptions? I have no idea how many I have. I feel like I have 50. Yeah, that's pretty close. Well, you look at your Amazon, right? Everybody's got Amazon Prime. Most people have Netflix, although we dropped ours because of that child porn thing.

You got your, just throw that out there. You got your Hulu. You got your CBS. You got Disney Plus. You've got AMC has a streaming thing too, right? Apple TV Plus. Apple TV. And looking forward to the new Hillary Clinton broadcast.

She just announced yesterday with Apple TV Plus. It's Hillary and Chelsea, right? Yeah. Doing what? They've created a production company and their first thing is going to be the book that they put together about Strong Women. Strong Women? Yeah, it's going to be great. Oh, wow.

Can't wait for that. It's going to be great. And that's Apple TV. It makes me want to subscribe. Man, do I want Apple TV plus? Uh-huh. So, I mean, that's quite a number. Yeah.

Right? There's a way more than that. HBO Max. HBO Max. HBO Max. HBO Max. And HBO Max just announced that they've got the new deal now where Warner Brothers, their movies, remember they're going to do Wonder Woman in December this month,

going to launch at movie theaters and HBO Max for free. Simultaneously. Yes. They just inked the deal now. All of 2021 movies on Warner Brothers will be released at the theater and on HBO Max for free for the first 30 days. Seems hard to overstate. how big a deal that is, right? I know.

That industry. Wow. I mean, I've heard theater chain stocks are going in the tank and it does, is this the end of the theaters? I don't know. I mean, Universal just made that deal, right? Where they were going to start. They made the deal with, um, with the movie theaters that they're going to allow their

movies to be released at the movie theaters for only for 30 days before it goes to video on demand. But if it doesn't make, I think it was the $50 million dollar mark, then it's 17. days and it goes to video on demand. And Universal is giving the movie theaters a cut of all of that though. So, you know, we'll see what happened. I just, I knew as soon as they announced the Wonder Woman deal and this was announced on chewing the fat, by the way, that it was going to be a done deal for the rest, for

the near future for sure. Yeah. And that's it. They're saying that this is only, you know, creative solutions for 2021. So those creative solutions are going to be a. are going to be for unlimited amount of time now in the future until the theaters actually close. And you have this like weird chicken and egg thing going on with these movie theaters where you just, they're not releasing any movies.

So there's no reason for theaters to be open. Right. And there's no reason to go to theaters because they're not releasing any movies. And there's no reason to release movies because none of the theaters are open. So there's no there's like no real way to get this to work. This is a great, I think actually a really good idea because they can guarantee a bunch of cash from HBO. and they could still get into the theaters. Well, they were saying HBO Max was saying they only,

on HBO Max specifically only had like 9 million subscribers. HBO has 28 million. And many of those people that have HBO haven't flipped over to HBO Max yet. So they want everybody to flip over to HBO Max. And they want new subscribers, which they're going to get with these movies. They're going to get a lot with the big movie. I mean, they're releasing 17 movies that they're going to online, that they're going to release for HBO Max in the theaters.

and I mean, who doesn't want to watch Godzilla versus Kong? I got to say, I'm dumb enough to show up for Godzilla versus Kong. I think it was the last Godzilla movie, which was another like War of the Monsters kind of thing. And it was not good. The last Godzilla movie was really bad. I didn't watch it because I assumed that going in. The one before that was actually good. The original one with Brian Cranston.

in it. And that's not the original Godzilla, but the original of this latest string of them. Is that the one where Godzilla said... Yes. Is it that one? Yeah. He said that. You got James Guns of the Suicide Squad. Yeah. You have the long, according to this release, you have the long-awaited fourth

Matrix film. How long-awaited? I thought they ended that thing. Whoa, no. And Matrix 3 was so bad and convoluted. And Matrix 2 was also really bad. Matrix 1 is a great movie. All the other ones have been terrible.

You have Space Jam. This is the one with LeBron. Oh, I don't know. Who just inked a new deal too, by the way. Yes, a lot of money, a lot of money that he doesn't deserve. Speaking of Braun, are you in love with the fact that he may stick around in the NBA long enough to see Brony get into the league as well? Wouldn't that be great? To have LeBron James and LeBron James Jr.

Oh, that would be great. He'll make sure that the kid gets in. Yes, he will. Could the kid be any more? Is it possible that he's as annoying as LeBron James? Is it possible? Is it possible that LeBron would actually take a pay cut to get his kid on the team? No.

Like he did for other teammates and he decided, no, I'm not going to take a pay cut. Not a dime. He will not give up a dime. It's just incredible. And then you have the new interpretation of Dune. Wow. The first time around was so great. Right.

I don't remember. What happened in Dune? What was the, what happened was? What happened was it was like eight hours. long, I think. I can remember correctly. And what they did was they put a camera on a sand dune. Okay. And then they showed

that for eight and a half hours. It was really good. Was there any humans? Some people said it was slow. Not for me. Not for you? No. That's about what happened. But this one looks pretty good. Yeah, I mean. The previews are interesting. There's also a

prequel, I believe, of the Sopranos series. I hope so. I hope they finally put that together. Yeah. Something about Newark is in the title. Yeah. And look, the Sopranos are still strong for HBO, right? I mean, they have those up. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, there's some episodes during the series that you always have to go back to and watch. Season 5, you know, the final episode was awesome. Stuff like that. One thing I know from listening to Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher podcast you can get right now, if you're subscribing to podcasts at this moment, is you went over the transportation numbers with a TV. TSA and how, what was the, do you remember the details of that? Well, some of the details, they actually went up over the holidays.

They had like three or four days that actually broke a million through the turnstile. So a million people who went through TSA security. And what was it before the whole pandemic? Well, the lowest it got down to was 86,000. 6,000 from what? During the pandemic or something? Right. That was in the heat of the pandemic.

So what were the normal numbers going through? Over two million. And then it started going to a couple of. hundred thousand, three hundred thousand. We're back up to about between six and nine hundred thousand. So it dropped off by over 90%. But it was two and a half million. Yeah, two and a half to three million every day.

And then it has bounced back to roughly half right now. It's interesting to look at the theaters, which we're doing about $200 million a week in the theaters. Not that long ago. In February 14th through the 20th, they did $215 million in theaters. That dropped off to like, you know, it was March 6th. the week of March 6, it went to $134 million. Then the next week went to $58 million.

The next week went to $5,632. Oh, that's incredible. They were celebrating crudes a release over the Thanksgiving holiday. Well, that's what I was going to... 14? Yeah, globally. 14 million. That's what I was going to say here. So it went down to like, you know, $5,000 for a few weeks.

Then eventually, you know, once we got out of the six weeks to stop the spread or whatever, a few opened up, got up to like $100,000. Got it to like 500,000 through the summer. Finally broke a million in August. So again, think of how long that is. Then 3 million, 8 million, 16 million, 30 million in September 4th. And then it started kind of getting that flare up again. Closing them back down again.

Went the other way. 14 million, 13 million. And it's been right around between 11 and 14 million for the past two months. That's still a 90% drop off. And let me give you what's in a really nice theater. Near us right now. Die hard. Okay, we can see that at home.

It's a Christmas movie, by the way. Same with Dr. Seuss, the Grinch. Okay? Yeah. Love actually. Jeez. Here's a new one. All my life.

Never heard of it. Don't know these people. Elf is showing the crudes. Let him go. And the war with grandpa. You forgot one huge movie that's released, that's been released for the next started today, I think, maybe yesterday. and through the weekend, the Elvis remastered.

That's the way it is movie. Okay? Thank you for that reminder. Jeffie, that was egregious that I left that off the list. Warren, just a few minutes. Really wasn't egregious, just so you're aware.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You know what I love? I love this trend of the movies going so quickly to the home market.

So like this simultaneous release of Wonder Woman, 1984, whatever it is, going to theaters and HBO max at the same time. I love that. I mean, it's going to be sad, I think, if the theaters just become obsolete. after this. I like movie theaters. I do too. I really like the new ones where you can go eat meals. Yes, I like that too. And it's nice to get out of the house. Yeah. And I'll say, like, I go watch a movie. Unless I'm watching it late at night, there's no chance of me getting through a movie in my house. There's no chance of it.

Because someone's going to come in and start talking to me. Someone's going to come in and, you know, my kids are going to want to go outside and play. Like, there's no way I'm getting through a movie unless it's, you know, everyone in the house is in bed. Yeah. So like, the theater is nice because you can actually focus. on what you're watching. And they made it super comfortable in these new theaters, where they got the recliner and all of that. And then they bring you the food.

It is nice. You remember John Edwards, the failed candidate for president? I do. But he used to talk about two Americas. That is definitely the case when it comes to movie theaters. If you're in the south in particular, and I don't know if this is,

you know, every region in exact details, but like the south versus the northeast I can talk about. And that like the theaters, if you're in New York City, the theaters are not like they are in Texas. They're nice and huge and they've got recliners and you're getting food delivered to you. There's occasional ones that they put up in the Northeast, but it's not like it is down here.

Down here, there's a dine-in theater every mile and a half on the main roads you're driving on. Yes. This is a lot of big empty buildings that are going to be popping up down here. It's going to be a big deal if they go out of business. It's going to be sad. And a lot of them are. I mean, there's a lot that have closed around here already. Yeah.

It's really unfortunate. And I like the theaters. I want to protect it, but I don't know that you're going to be able to. Whether you're working from home or working on fitness, it doesn't matter.

website, she's got some great Christmas gift ideas for you. Really? Yeah, like a tax-the-rich sweatshirt for the low price of $58. Just $58, and it can be yours. Any poor person anywhere can afford that. In a way, it is a tax of the rich, because only rich people can afford it. So they'll be, it's a stupid tax for the rich.

and she's got a Green New Deal hoodie that you can get for just $65. And I'm sure that's made of hemp sourced locally. I'm sure it is. Yeah, I'm sure it is. That's good to see. It's so funny. I love that idea. Is it amazing that these, you know, they hate capitalism.

It's killing the planet. It's killing people. And there's income inequality and we can't have that. And then they charge outrageous prices for merchants. so they can benefit from it. I love that. Now, I have no problem with capitalism, of course. She's the one that has the problem with it.

Yes. I have no problem with you charge $58. I mean, now, I will say the prices are much better on stewdoesmerch.com. The Stu Does America Official merchandise, including Santifa Claus for Christmas, and the best mug to drink a warm holiday beverage out of that has a nice cityscape lit on fire with a Christmas tree on fire in the foreground. And it says,

it's not a riot. It's just a mostly peaceful tree lighting. And what would I pay like $65 for that mug? No, it's less than $65. No, really? Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, it's a great t-shirts and mugs and all that's, Andrew Cuomo was awful stuff.

We are out of the Nancy Pelosi sucks pens, though. Oh, no. We sold out of our entire, our entire holiday shipment in like three days. Nice. You don't, it's what I am constantly amazed by how much this audience thinks Nancy Pelosi sucks. It is incredible. There's almost no limit to the amount of suckage they think Nancy Cubolosi creates. And I agree wholeheartedly on that, by the way.

Me too. But that's stew doesmerch.com. I will say it's amazing to see Akazio Cortez try to do this because there's no justification for it. None. The reason why I want to sell you a Santifa Claus T-shirt is because it's profitable for this company. That's why I want to do it. I think it's a fun idea. I think people really like it when you're at holiday parties or whatever.

And it's a cool way to kind of bond with the audience. but generally speaking, I want to make money for the company because I want them to keep the show on the air. That's how this stuff works. And what is the justification for this hypocrisy? Right. What is it? What is it?

So she can buy what more ads to keep herself in power? It's unbelievable. Well, you know, what, it is, it is very typical of, of, of the left. I mean, you know, one of the easiest ways to get yourself sued is to put the image of Che Guevara on an item because someone has the actual copyright to, his image and will sue you for it. The people who love socialism so much

and communism, they want to make money off that image because in reality, at the end, capitalism always wins. You know, these politicians can come out and talk. You know, Bernie Sanders, his entire career in notoriety

is made on being a democratic socialist and everyone knows. I mean, he had to have known when he bought the second vacation home that this was not going to look good for him. But at the end of the day, he'd rather have a second vacation home

than whatever price he's going to pay for that on the downside. No doubt. He wants the stuff. Yeah. And look, you know, that's natural. It's human. You know, people get so fired up about the

sort of capitalism elements of the holidays. And if that's all you think about, if that's all you do, then yeah, sure, you can overdo it. but I like the capitalism part of the holidays. I like the gift giving. I like the parties. I like that stuff.

I don't. Everyone's almost like, oh, they're so over commercialized. I kind of like commercialized. Commercialized brings a lot of cool things. It's like a way of like vilifying capitalism, you know,

to say, oh, gosh, it's commercialized. Now, of course, if you completely erase the reason for the season, you can overdo it. But it's okay to have elements of that in there. I, you know, like, you want to have that cool gift.

I remember going back and getting like the new video game system when I was a kid or when I got a new bike. I remember those Christmases. And it was a really cool part of it. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that. Right. It's fun. It is.

It's part of our culture. And yeah, you're right. As long as you're still celebrating baby Jesus. Yes. I think it's okay. That's the reason for the season. Exactly. It is.

That's right. This happens every Thanksgiving and with the exception of this one. This is the first year I can remember not talking about this. People will be like, I can't believe on Black Friday, people will go out and go shopping. And now stores are starting to open on Thanksgiving. I can't believe. I don't know. I mean, maybe if people want to go out and buy crap on Thanksgiving, they should be able to.

Maybe that's the way they want to go out. Maybe you shouldn't be telling other people what they can do with their holiday. How about that? Maybe if stores want to open, what about those employees? Well, you know what? They don't have to work there. They don't have to work there. And you know what?

They're probably getting, and I hear this. Every year when we talk about this, employees who say, you know what, they're actually going to pay me double time. So I really want to work on Thanksgiving. But everyone keeps harassing my store so they have to close. And, you know, I kind of want, I need the extra money. It would be really nice. I'm going to have my lunch at 1 p.m.

And then that's where I'm going to have our little family gathering. And then at 4 p.m. when the store opens until midnight, I get to go out and make double for my shift. That's awesome. That's not everybody. know that like some people might, but that's, we shouldn't be harassing stores into closing because we think people shouldn't be out. I mean, like, what a wonderful thing to be able to claim.

I don't think those people should be able to work those days. You know what? Listen, we sound like we're like implementing COVID laws from above. I don't think people should be able to open their stores. We complain about it from that level in the middle of a pandemic, but yet we're not allowed to have people who, if you're. having a very big family dinner, you should not be able to go to the store on the same day. What kind of policy is that?

I mean, honestly, like, if you've had family gatherings, a lot of people would love to get half the people to go out and go shopping and says hanging around. There's football to watch. If you're opposed to it, don't go to the store. Don't go to the store. That's all. And if, you know, you're an employee, find some place else to work that's closed on that Thanksgiving day. Or get, you know, you don't even get that day off. I mean, look, I understand there will be some people who want the day off and will not be able to get the day off. But we don't

implement those things from government levels. Right? Like you have to be able to let the free market do its thing. It winds up working out well in the end. The thing our society gets all worked up over now. It's really unbelievable. Like the Thursday

or it wasn't the Thursday night game. It was the Wednesday night game with Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. And during the course of the game or maybe maybe this was at the very beginning of the game between Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

Chris Collinsworth was complimenting Pittsburgh fans for their knowledge of the game and how into it they all are. But people are all upset now because he said he said this egregious, egregious

comment. And Collinsworth's been getting himself in trouble a lot lately. He's been saying lots of really controversial things. Well, he said the BLM thing. Yeah. That was terrible. That was terrible. That was terrible. It wasn't terrible, by the way, at all. He was giving some, this is like the big week where you had to say something.

I think it was week one, wasn't it? Week one, every single NFL broadcast had to start with. And by the way, we don't like when black people get killed by police officers. Like, oh, wow, thanks for breaking that news to us. It's such a ridiculous thing. Like, we don't all understand that, you know, black lives actually matter. Like, this is obviously a slogan that steps in the way. and basically is a pitch, as the founders talked about,

as a Marxist organization. But I mean, even if, you know, even if you don't like the organization, everybody kind of comes together and says, yeah, of course, all lives matter, you know. But you had to do that on week one with the NFL. You had to say, we want to tell you about George Floyd because he's got something to do with the National Football League, question mark. And so he came and gave out and gave this sort of surface, Look, I know.

We all got to say, we all, of course, understand that Black Lives do matter. Right, Al? Silent. Definite silence. Al was like, Al wanted no part of it. Well, Al knows the background of the organization, I think. I mean, he didn't say this, but he was just not going to come out and do an endorsement of Black Lives Matter, the organization.

So he's just like, you know, you say what you need to say, and let's move on to some football. But Wednesday night, it was even worse, Stu, because he said this. And in particular, the ladies that I met. They had really specific questions about the game. I was like, wow, you're just blown away by how strong the fans are here in this town. How dare you? How dare you say that women in Pittsburgh actually have specific questions about football? That's horrible.

How dare you? That's worse than anything Harvey Weinstein did. Why is he not in prison right now? I don't know. I mean, forget a trial. He should be right. next to Harvey Weinstein in a jail cell. Thank you.

Thank you, Pat. Because I guess the insinuation here is that many women don't pay attention to football and don't know football and don't like football. And the problem with Collinsworth was that he was surprised that they did know football, I guess. Like he was surprised. He showed, wow, I was impressed because they knew so much. Yeah. As we all know, as all human beings know, men care more about sports than women. This is not a shock.

This is not breaking news. It's a fact. It's a fact. Well, that's stereotyping women. Well, it's a stereotype that happens to be based in fact. It's a generalization is a nice way to say it. Yes. It is a generalization.

Every statistical measure will show it. And that doesn't mean that no women like football or know about football, but many of them, probably the majority, don't. And some women know more about football than some men. That is how these curves work. Lawrence Summers got in trouble for this back when he was, I think at Harvard, when he talked about how like, well, if you look at the distribution of scores with math, you see that, you know, men do have more of the higher level math scores,

but women do better overall. I think it was, I think his summary, it's been a while since I went into that debate. But the bottom line was, it was like just something, he was basically reading off of a chart. And they're like, how dare you? You bastard. You can't state facts. Right. And that's the thing here. Like, yeah, of course there are women who know a hell of a lot about sports.

But generally speaking, they don't care as much as guys do. This is not shocking to anyone. We all know it's true. Yes. We all are 100% certain. It's true. It's like this gender thing that keeps coming back on with a, you know, this week it was Ellen Page, the actress from Juno and many other things who spent the rest of her life since Juneau apologizing for Juno because it was, I think mistakenly a pro-life movie. I don't think they meant to make it a pro-life movie, but it was a pro-life movie. By accident. Yeah, by accident. And she's spent the rest of her life running from this great movie she made. And so now she is now Elliott Page, apparently. Yes.

She's now Elliott Page. And please stop referring to her as she. Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. What a personal privilege. Okay, go ahead. Yes. Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.

Thank you. Thank you. So excited. His whole throat closed in the middle of that word. But there's the second part of this, because I don't care if Ellen Page wants to become Elliot Page. Whatever. Whatever.

You're you. But we all are certain. And we every single person on earth knows that a nine-year-old should not be making that decision. And you can say, well, no, we should actually allow them to be themselves. If I were to say to you, Pat, you know what, a nine-year-old kid, I have a nine-year-old kid, he should be able to choose his college major now. We'll lock him in now. There will be a lot of college graduates graduating with degrees in Pokemon and Transformers, right?

Because you don't know, and that's a totally reversible decision. If you go through school, you know, half the people who go to college don't wind up working in the field of their major. You can always change your profession. But we would all recognize it's completely. insane to let a nine-year-old choose their college major. But reasonable to let them switch their gender. Which isn't reversible, right?

There is an irreversible series of surgeries and hormone treatments and all these things and we're going to act like that's rational. We all know it's ridiculous. Every single progressive who makes the argument that it isn't insane knows it's insane. But they're all, they're all secret.

they all know that it's a crazy world position. They are living in crazy town on that one. But they're all thinking themselves, well, they're trying to signal, right? They're trying to signal some sort of tolerance. Well, we don't understand all these positions. And we have to make sure that we're always on the right side of these issues.

It's just nonsense. And they all know. And the same thing with this Collinsworth thing. He's saying something that everybody knows is true. And we have to act like we deny it for some reason. Yeah. And get all pissed. off about it.

Triple it, because there's nothing else to get pissed off in the world about. No. So we got to attack Chris Collinsworth for his sexism. AAA 727BECK.

But this Robert Kraft thing at that massage parlor in Florida seems to me he's gotten pretty much a total pass on that. Is he not? I mean, well, look, you just get a massage. I don't talk about it at all. How do we not talk about this with

Jeffie? Right. We should have. This is central to his life philosophy. Because he essentially got off Scott free, but three women arrested as part of the high profile human trafficking sting in Florida were sentenced recently as part of plea agreements. They're not going to get any further jail time, but they were all fined

I believe $30,000 for their efforts on Robert Kraft's behalf. And he's pretty much in the clear. Really strange. And it turned out not to really be about sex trafficking. They weren't trafficking

like, you know, selling sex slaves or anything. Because I think they were just performing certain functions for the clientele under certain conditions. Right. Yes. Certain functions. It's funny because I think

people obviously take sex trafficking really seriously for good reason. And they should. They should. But I think when most people picture it, they're picturing, okay, some kid was, you know, or even, you know, teenager or whatever was captured. Sold into slavery.

Sold into slavery. Yeah. It's being forced to do these things. And we all know that there's another side of that business, right, where people are doing these things willingly. We might not like it. But that's not, I don't think of that as sex trafficking. No.

It's a different thing. It's soliciting prostitution. Right. And that's not, you know, you could say obviously that's wrong, but that it's a different, it's a different level of crime, I would say, when you have two willing, two willing. two willing participants in these things. And I know a lot of times people, it's difficult to parse that out, right? Some people would say that they're doing it willingly, but in reality, maybe have pressures

behind the scenes. And it's a complicated story to no, no doubt at all. But they apply sex trafficking, the title to every one of these situations. You know, every time you have somebody who's doing one of these type of sexual, you know, a sex worker type activity. They're like, oh, well, sex trafficking. And it's like, I think that can get, it gets mixed up. And I don't think what, I don't think what Robert Greff was involved in was sex trafficking.

No, he got a massage and then a little extra, I guess, supposedly. But how does that, how does a guy in crap's position get away? I don't know. That's what I'm wondering. Is Jeffrey Tooman ever working again? No. Like, I don't, is he ever going to be on, he may, who knows, he may pop up on CNN again. And it pop up is probably not the right way to talk about that.

But, you know, here's a guy who did much. He didn't commit a crime, right? He did something that was gross by mistake, right? He got caught doing something by mistake. Robert Kraft went, got this stuff done. He's a huge... And did it on purpose. And paid for it.

And not to mention, he runs an evil football team. Yeah. That should be disbanded. Thank you. Thank you. Immediately. It's less evil this year than it usually is. With Tom Brady out of town, I don't feel as quite as passionate about that one.

but it's incredible. I mean, they're still interviewing him on TV. They never say anything about it. It's just Robert Kraft is fine in all this. Here is this Tordord, a normal guy with a total of normal life. Glenn Beck. All right. Let's see.

Triple-8-727-B-E-C-K with your thoughts, questions, concerns, whatever we can take care of them all. That's why we're here. Let's go to Bill in Florida. Hey, Bill, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

I'm doing good. How you doing? Good. Doing good. Okay. Okay. So I just wanted to ask the tough question. Why would you get a vaccine shot if you've already had the disease?

I already had the virus. Well, love of needles is my first answer to that. Just really like it. That's a good one. It feels good, you know, just getting injected. It's fun. I mean, I don't think anyone thinks the immunity lasts forever. So I think at some point people who have had it would consider getting the vaccine.

I mean, I think. Good question, though. It's a good question. I think anyone who. Who's like me, Pat? Yes, a COVID-19 survivor. Yeah. What should probably be last on the list to get it.

Assuming everyone, everyone who wants to get it should get it before people like me should be able to get it. Just until it's in plentiful supply. I haven't really heard the experts talk about whether or not you need to get it if you've already had it. It's something that they should probably mention. Yeah, I don't know that they need to do it right this second, but you're right. I mean, at some point, that's going to need to be addressed because at some point you're going to run out of people who have it, you know, you're going to get to a point where you hit that number of the maximum number. And a lot of people, I think, if they think it would help them get it again,

a lot of people went through tough times with COVID. My mind was really easy. I mean, you didn't even have symptoms, did you? Do you have any symptom? Were you tired or? I was completely asymptomatic. My wife was completely asymptomatic. My daughter was completely asymptomatic. My son had, I would say he was tired and had a little stuff he knows for like a day. Like I mean it was like so light I would still call it asymptomatic. I mean, it could have been something else. It was very, very much nothing. Though I will say, I mean, the people we got it from weren't asymptomatic.

The people we got it from got sick. You know, I told you a story the other day, about the other day from a friend of mine who they had a gathering of about 10 people, an older couple. You know, someone showed up and said, oh, yeah, I was that, I was visiting a relative. And they, they had, they tested positive. and everyone's like, why the hell are you here then? You know, like you're not supposed to show up to a gathering. Yeah. They decided to have it outside.

They all kind of felt awkward to say anything. A long story short, nine of the ten people now are positive. And one of them is in the hospital on the verge of death. And it's like this stuff just like it hits people so much differently. Another guy who's our, you know, our age pat, a dad who I know, his whole family got it. I think seven people in the household every single person got it five of the seven were completely

fine like the kids I think one of the kids was sick a little bit you know dad was kind of sick a little bit mom they thought they might lose her she wound up recovering but they thought she was on the verge it is really so weird did she have the extenuating circumstances like she had some other morbidity

or no really yeah no and it's so it again it's important as a society right as a society to look at this and say it's important to note that kids aren't really affected as far as death goes on this. It's very, it does happen, but it's very, very unlikely. It's really important to plan as a society to say, you know who is really affected here, people who are like in their 70s and 80s and above. All that's totally sane. However, on an individual level, there are people who actually have

terrible outcomes. I mean, you know, there's a reporter who just wrote a story about this, got it in March or April, and is still. Still sick. Still. It's November. Still sick. For like six months. Yeah. And this is that long haulers thing. Again, it's rare. And that does. So when you look at as a, we get, we get like in this weird thing where we're arguing societal versus individual points. As a society, you cannot close down your society. You can't just turn it off and say, we're not going to open any businesses that everybody stay home and the government will pay all your bills for the next year. You can't do that. On the other. hand, as an individual, you can stay away from these gatherings. You can do things that you think will help. It's not worth just going out and I'm just going to go get it because I've heard the death rate is low. Like, people always say this, well, you've got a 99% survivability rate. Who the hell wants a 1% chance of death? Like, that is not a good idea. As an individual, you should try to avoid these things. As a society, and what we're planning as government policy,

you cannot just shut down all of human creativity and commerce every time you have a situation like this. You have to be able to plow through it the best that you can. And that middle point in the debate between let's just all run out and have chicken pox parties with COVID and the point of like, oh, well, let's all be in our individual panic rooms for the next year. Like that is where it should be. and so few, so little of the debate has actually occurred in that space. Sadly. Sadly. Sadly.

It's true. Judy in Pennsylvania. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu. Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Thank you.

Listen, going back to your discussion yesterday about having, like, identity card for this thing. Last night on CBS News, the 11 o'clock, the anchor was saying, I think it was the CDC, he was quoting, said that when you get this vaccine, you will be given a card with, you know, the date you got your vaccine, and then the date for the second vaccine. So, yes, papers, please. We are going to have some sort of identity card to go along with this. In fact, it reminded me of the vaccine chart. or card I was given for my son when he was in school before I started homeschooling him in order to show the school district. Yeah, he was up to date. Yeah. Yeah. So there's two parts of that

because there is a situation where we've talked about the mandates. I don't agree with government mandating the vaccine by any means. They are saying at this point they're not talking about it, but who knows, right? We'll see what happens down the road, you know, especially, you know, Joe Biden is going to certainly talk. They're going to have conversations about it, especially if people don't take it. I think if the effectiveness is as high as they say it is, you might not, they might not even need to get to the point where they're discussing it. But the other thing is, there is a one part of what you're talking about.

There is a, so there's two doses to the vaccine. And what they are planning to do is to give everybody a card to remind them to come get it at a certain time. And that's being kind of tossed around the internet as this identity card. But it is, there's, so I'm not saying. that, you know, you're wrong here, because that stuff could happen. I think we're seeing ticket master's already said, you know, yeah, you can come to our events if you have the vaccine.

So I think a lot of private businesses will do that. Some states will do it. But there is also a separate thing going on when you get the vaccine. They're giving you a card to remind you because if you don't come get the second part, it's worthless. It's not going to, it's not going to be 95% effective if you don't get the second shot in whatever it is a couple of months. So they are, they are dishing those out with each dose.

Appreciate it. Thanks, Judy. The other thing is the government officials have found a way to insert themselves into our lives even deeper than they had before. And they're not going to want to give that up. They're going to play this for all its worth. And they're going to try to take as much control as they possibly can in many of these states, I believe. Like Cuomo will try to make things mandatory. Gavin Newsom probably in California will try to make things mandatory.

probably in California will try to make things the vaccine mandatory. In other words, you have to have the vaccine, your children have to have the vaccine, or they can't go to school and you can't go to work, or you can't go to a movie theater or a restaurant or a grocery store unless you're vaccinated. I mean, there will be those efforts, I believe. I think you're right on that. It just, I think if you get to a point where enough people take it willingly, right, right off the bat, you might, we might be lucky here is what I'm saying.

I hope so. I think that if capitalism did as good a job as they are reporting they, you know, did generally, Pfizer and Moderna and all these things. And we're really getting 90, 95% effective effectiveness rates. The numbers are going to drop fast. I mean, if they can get this by like March or April, something like that, you're going to get, if you get these numbers at 50 and 60, 70% of people are taking it, the numbers are going to drop fast if it's, if it actually works. And at that point, they're not going to need to mandate it.

The numbers are going to be so low. that they're not going to need to do that. Now, will Andrew Cuomo do it? Well, Andrew Cuomo is awful. Dot com. So, of course, he's going to do it. We all know Andrew Cuomo will do anything that he believes will benefit him at any cost to anyone else.

That is the Andrew Cuomo guarantee. So that's definitely, you know, but again, I have relatives and live in New York and they're complaining about Cuomo all the time. And I say, you know who lives in New York, you? You know who doesn't live in New York? Me. I don't know what to tell you. At this point, flee, flee the state.

That is the answer when it comes to Quilbo. It's really good advice. Tim in North Carolina, you're on the Glymbeck program with Pat and Stu. Hi. How are you doing? Good morning, guys. Morning. Quick and to the point.

As far as movies and theaters go, I've not heard any discussion on bringing back the drive-in theaters of the 60s and 70s. Yeah. Everybody would be in their own car. You could order from the snack bar and have it delivered. What's up with this? Yeah, I like it. Yeah, you know, if we've had a bunch, I don't know if this is the same way across the country, but we've had a lot of, we do have a few driving theaters here in Texas that are operating normally like all the time, which is pretty rare. But we had a bunch of pop-ups here where they would just take a big parking lot and put up a big screen at the end of it.

And they would just show random movies, you know, for people to kind of get out and do things kind of more when it was in the real lockdown period. That was one of the few things you could kind of go out and do, which was a great idea. Yeah. They would in churches too. I mean, the church just did services that way for a while as well. And the government was like, oh, let's put nails in the driveway. So people will pop their tires. It's like, come on, guys.

Just stop. It's so frustrating. It's so frustrating. I think it's not more widespread on the drive-in movie theater because they kind of went obsolete in the late 70s and early 80s. And there aren't very many of them. Like you just alluded to. There's very few drive-in theaters that are operational.

I guess they could come back. Right. I think if this is going to be a decade long type of virus that we're dealing with, then you might do something. I will say, you know, that I wonder if theaters get to that point

like drive-ins are now. In Texas, there's at least two within an hour of us that are actual drive-in theaters and that are operating, nothing to do with COVID just operating. It's become sort of this retro, cool, fun thing to do. Yeah. And I think you might get to the point,

building off of this HBO Max story we did last hour where all of the new movies are going to be in your home for a month. If theaters go, quote, unquote, out of business and they're destroyed like a lot of people are worried about, you might get to that point where it's just this sort of more of a novelty thing. The good thing, though, is if you can tie them to restaurants, like these dining in theaters, I feel like there's always a role for them because everyone wants to go to a restaurant,

watch a movie and eat. Yeah. What do you want to do? Would you rather watch a great movie or have to talk to someone in your family? No, I'd rather watch the movie. Obviously. Pretty obvious. Triple-8-7-27B-B-E-C-K.

All right. You know, it's perfectly acceptable. If you're the sort of person who still likes taking your temperature and the temperatures of those around you, the old-fashioned way, sure, you can do that. But there's something, of course, to be said for tradition. Honestly, though, why not do it? Let's do it the right way. The tempigenics, Tempentos.

Tempentos is a revolutionary, new and accurate way to keep tabs on temperature. It's great if you have kids. If you have, you know, if you get a situation where you're trying to make sure no one is positive of COVID you're taking temperatures every day you got to staff

that all the time this is a much better way to do that temp and toss is fantastic Ford Motor Company is doing it this way they're buying

It's Matt and Stufer Glenn, AAA 727BECK. I like this story. President-elect in, that's quotations. Harder to pull off on radio. Yeah. But I was doing the quotation mark thing. Scar quotes. Yes.

In the air, the scare quotes. President-elect Biden says he's going to ask Americans to wear their face masks for 100 days after he takes office. I got a little breaking news here. We're already wearing masks. Pretty much everywhere you go. You got to wear a mask on the sign of a place I just had lunch at yesterday.

It said no mask, no service, just like they used to do with the no shoes, no shirt, no shoes, no pants. Yeah, what I've been doing is I wear a mask, but I go in topless. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And no shoes. All right. And just really kind of put the whole.

thing to the test. Yeah. Yeah. It works well. I like that. People, people notice you. I bet they do. I'll say that. They do notice. Which would scare you more. A guy coming into a place of business with no shirt, but he's wearing a mask. Or he has a shirt on, but no mask. I'm going to go with the no mask. It scares me a lot more. Really? No. No. No. And I don't want to see your feet at my restaurant. I'll tell you that. Please, put your shoes on. Keep the feet. Put a mask over your feet. Really? Rather than shoes, you'd like to see the mask on the feet. If you're wearing open-toed sandals, I'd like you to put a mask over your toes, please. We're eating food in here.

Okay. I like that rule. This is my policy. All right. But that's what Biden told Jake Tapper. He hopes the mandate will help reduce the spread of COVID-19. So I guess it's going to be a mandate? It's not.

He can't. There's no way. to put a government mandate federally. I mean, he's even said, I'm going to go try to convince the governors to do it. But he changes that all the time. He goes back and forth on these things. Mip, almost all states, I think, do have it. Yeah, I mean, I know, like, you know, South Dakota doesn't.

But even North Dakota put what in recently. Yeah. So, I mean, it's certainly most of them at this point. Here's what he said yesterday to Tapper on the first day. And I think my inclination. Right here. Jake is on the first day. inaugurated to say I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask just 100 days.

Not forever 100 days. And I think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that. That occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably. Somebody might want to tell Joe, again, it's been more than 100 days already for wearing the mask for most of us. Right. Because, you know, while it was kind of a suggestion from the governor, every municipality then mandated it in whatever county or whatever city you reside in. By the way, when you go out in public, you got to wear a mask. Yeah, 37 states have statewide mask mandates right now.

13 don't. But as you point out, a lot of local areas within those states do. Yes. I know like Florida, for example, tried to basically say that you can't do the local stuff. You're not allowed to go that way. and that's happened in some states as well. But, I mean, overwhelming majority, even people, even in states where there's no mask mandates,

the majority of people wear masks. Here's what Biden said about that. That's nice. What an orator. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hey, everybody knows PayPal, but did you know that they were teaming up with honey to save you money? Honey is the free online shopping tool

How long has it been that we've been wearing masks so far? I don't know. It's got to be about 300 days, right? 400 days. It's been a long time. It does. I just don't think you can go to people anymore and be like, ah, come on, just do this thing.

There's a California chef that is, I mean, I think you're seeing a lot of this reaction to the ridiculous overreaches by these Blue State governors, largely, and mayors.

And they are, you're seeing a lot of it come from, restaurants and bars. And it's weird because they're just like the public face of this. It's interesting in that, you know, restaurants have seen real devastation bars, obviously even worse. I mean, a state like Texas, because we had this metric set up of 15% of the hospitals filled with COVID patients means you go to, I think, 50% capacity in restaurants and bars close, I think is the way it works. There's so many restrictions and weird things like this. Like it's hard to keep track of. But so, you know, that, that's happened a lot and they've been kind of the public face.

You think about some of these industries, though, that have totally gone away. I mean, like concerts. Right. You know, concert, we have Eric July, who's a Blaze TV contributor. Love Eric. And he comes in for the news and why it matters. He's been on this show. My show's Dude Us America.

I'm sure Pat Gray unleashed as well. And he talks, he's a musician. He's a singer for a band. You know? And that whole business is just dissolved. Yeah. Like if you go to a concert venue, basically you're just turned things off for the year. And the thing about that is that for these bands, that's now how they make their money.

The concerts are far more lucrative than the record sales because the digital record industry has just pretty much destroyed the massive amounts of money they were making from that. So they're not making the big bucks with the recordings anymore. They're making the big dollars at the concert venue. And now they don't have that. Just gone. So then what do you do? Yeah, then what? I mean, you know, we talk about professional sports.

Obviously, you see these professional sports leagues who have gone from, I mean, you watch the games, you watch an NFL week of games, you know, half the games have zero fans. And half the games have, you know, maybe 10 or 20% of the fans. I mean, they're talking about the Super Bowl at, I think 20% capacity. It's something like 15,000 people, supposedly. in the stadium, which I can't imagine what these tickets are going to cost. But you look at all that. What about minor league teams?

You know, what about, what about the, you know, here, I think this is around the country. I've been to them with the kids in other places as well. But they have the, like, trampoline parks and like these indoor sort of like, almost like indoor amusement parks in some ways where they have trampoline parks and they have like all these cool things for kids to do, go carts and, you know, all these things where people are sharing the same space. and doing physical activity or whatever indoors, you know, I mean, we have them around us,

and they're open again, again, limited capacity. And we've gone to them, you know, several times. But the crowd is one-tenth of what it was. How do these places stay open? I don't know. Well, you know, they're dealing with this, of course, at restaurants quite a bit. There's a California chef, TV personality, Andrew Gruhl,

which is a weird name for maybe it's Gruel. It's probably more. Maybe it's Gruel. I don't know the guy. But he was talking about the madness of these lockdowns and these restrictions. Listen. Here's the situation. Do we take the pandemic seriously?

Of course we do. Am I saying that we shouldn't close outdoor dining? Yes, I am. At every single juncture along the way here from the beginning shutdown to today, we've listened to all of the advice from our government officials only to be shut down over and over and over again and then not compensated for the elements that we put in place in our businesses in order to protect our customers. We shut down indoor dining. No problem. I got a warehouse full of plexiglass right now. Okay. We went outdoors. All right. Now that's getting shut down. I just put thousands of dollars into outdoor heaters. There is zero scientific evidence that proves that outdoor dining is contributing to a rise in cases related to this. I can go get a pink cockatoo for my Christmas tree, but I can't go and dine outdoors at a restaurant. I can go to Target. Amazon's making tons of money. All big business is getting rich. Okay. Outdoor dining does not lead to any of that. Therefore,

Screw that. We're staying open. Outdoors. It's that simple. Wow. That's great. And he's right on all of that. All of it.

There is no evidence that says that outdoor dining leads to major transmission. I mean, it's very, very unlikely that you're going to get it in doing outdoor dining. And you're killing these businesses. Because you're not only telling them they can't have customers, which is already a really big deal. And I've heard this from restaurant owner after restaurant. restaurant owner. They are, you're doing these things to, to please the government, like putting plexiglass up and all these separators and to make honestly some of the people who come to your restaurant,

who are scared, feel better. Some of them might be effective. Some of them don't do much of anything. They're just feel good measures. And you're spending all of this cash to do this. And then at the end of the day, the government doesn't come back and say, hey, we know we asked you to shut down. We know we asked you to build these.

you know, bubbles for everyone to sit in so they can basically, everyone can live inside of plastic wrap. We know you spent a fortune on that. Here's some cash for that. Now, there have been some programs that have helped with, with shutdowns.

We know, you know, the PPP, and there's going to be another stimulus package that comes here in the next, a couple of months, at least. It's either going to be probably very soon or,

you know, late January, early February. But that's going to be another trillion dollars. And some of that money will go to restaurant owners and other. companies to be compensated for this stuff. As it should, because it is the government forcing them to shut down. Yeah, I will say, if it's a state regulation, however, that money should

probably come from the state. Yeah, not the government, not the federal government. I think that we have, this is got a, this is, this is a little bit out of control. I mean, you have a lot of people who are laid off. And those people, you know, we have an unemployment system. There's been talk about potentially another one of these sort of stimulus bonus. Stimulus is the wrong word for this. it's not stimulus. It's closer to eminent domain. The government has taken your property. It's taken your business. It's told you to shut down. And they're supposed to compensate you for such things. There's a big libertarian part of me that does not like

all of this, but I do understand it in this particular circumstance at some level. When the government is responsible for your business being closed and you being on the verge of bankruptcy, then, you know, it's appropriate that they compensate you, I Yes. But yeah, so you look at industries like restaurants and movie theaters and, well, cruise lines. When are cruises going to be acceptable again? You know, I've been seeing commercials for them lately. Really? Are they actually open?

Yeah. And they're actually cruising? They're selling some cruises. Because most of them have pushed it off to 2021 sometime. Yeah. I think they might be selling future cruises and trying to get people excited about that. I was surprised to see, though, advertising for it at this point. That is surprising.

You know, I mean, there's like, what about this live events business? This is a whole convention business, right? Where you have these huge conventions like Comic Con and there's a ton of them. And it's like those, how are those businesses planning through this? Even if you're going to have them in the near future, you're going to have to have them in a separated circumstance where you're not getting close to people and people wearing masks. They don't want to do that. It's not comfortable. You know, we went, they had these six weeks to stop the spread or whatever.

It was two weeks and then another month. And that ended. And I think it was right after that or not soon after that in Texas. They opened up dining at 25% capacity in Texas. And it was like at the point where nothing was open. I mean, really, I think Georgia had opened a little bit, maybe one or two other states. And South Dakota kind of did the whole time and a couple of other states had it that way. But it was like big news at the time.

And the first day it opened, we went out to a restaurant here in Texas. And it was interesting in that it wasn't fun. You know, it's one thing to say you can go to a restaurant. It's another thing to go to a restaurant where everybody is masked around you. You can't understand them. You can't have fun. You can't go talk to somebody. You know, if you're going to a bar or whatever, you can't go talk to someone across the bar.

You know, you're you're freaked down. out because you're wondering what droplets are landing on your face from from fellow diners. And it's like, I think people have loosened up a little bit since then, right? We've had, we've been dealing with this for a while now. But it wasn't enjoyable. You know, the whole point of this is it's not just going out and consuming food. You can do that at home. It's an experience.

And these guys work so hard to design these amazing, you know, dishes and have a great atmosphere in their restaurants. And even to work to do it outside. And at the end of the day, it's impossible for them to provide the things that the people who are coming to the restaurants actually want. Yeah. You know, you've really just hampered this economy to a level that is, I mean, we certainly never lived through anything like this before. My favorite hamburger place in all of Texas, twisted route, still, still closed. They've been closed and they're continuing to be closed in most of their locations. I think in Shreveport, Louisiana or someplace, they've got a couple of restaurants open,

but all of the restaurants in the DFW area still closed. And I think they've even filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. So, I mean, I don't know how people are surviving it. I don't know what you're doing for livelihood. But when you once had such a successful operation that you now have restaurants all over the place, you've gone from one to 20 or 30 or whatever. and now you've had to be closed all this time, it just devastated your business.

So how do you ever? How do you ever get that back? You just can't. And the government can't make everybody whole. Everybody who has declared bankruptcy and who has shut down, they're not all going to be made whole again by the U.S. government or a state government. It's just not possible. It can't happen.

So this is a tragedy. And I really feel for people who've lost their life. livelihoods like that. It's really a shame. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. More coming up in one minute.

Hi, how are you all doing today? Good, good. All right, I have a quick question. I just wanted to know with everything that's going on in the USA, when are the governors and the legislate and the Supreme Court in Texas going to say, hey, you know what, we have had enough of all this stuff. We are going to go ahead and take ourselves out of the states. How would that help Texas and how would that hurt Texas?

Good question. Thanks, Daniel. I don't see that happening, but that's something that always comes up when times get tough or when times aren't tough. Or every time you walk into a place in Texas. Someone brings it up all the time Those are the only times that secession ever comes up in Texas Is good times, bad times In between times, all times

People are asking about secession It's not going to happen Can we constitutionally do it? I think what would happen is there'd be civil war So I don't really want that We tried it once Yeah, it didn't work out that well You know, I'm glad we got rid of slavery

Would have rather done it without the whole civil war thing. I would have rather just made it, you know, just amended the Constitution and got that over with. You know, I mean, look, I like the country. Uh-huh. I kind of like the United States of America. I like the way that it is. I love Texas. It's fantastic here. But I would say I'd rather kind of stay, let's, let's make the country better. That's kind of where I would like to go. Instead of worrying about all of us seceding separately.

It would cause less trouble. Yeah. I think so. So, John and Georgia, you're on the Glimbeck program. Hi. Yes. Hi, how you doing? Good. So just wanted to touch base real quick. You were speaking about musicians being out of work. And one thing that is lost in that discussion is the entire events industry went out of business, March 15th. And that equates to around 12 million people who work in that industry, many of them in gig worker economy,

who are basically out of work, have no prospect. for going back to work until events can happen again. And there seems to not be much conversation happening around this segment of the economy, which is really large. It's concerts. It's corporate events. It's business meetings. It's weddings.

It's everything that is a gathering of people. We're talking about the stage hands and the sound guys and the lighting guys and the video technicians. All of those people. are completely out of work and have the banquet business until we get back to work. Right. And it's the audiovisual business that I own an AV company. And we've been shut down since March.

And I don't know how much longer will last. Yeah, it's really, you know, honestly, one of the first day's, I really was like, wait a minute, this is different. This is, I mean, I had seen, there are times I remember, there's certain writers that I follow who said things. And I was like, gosh, if this person is, where Matt Ridley's a guy, when he first reported something,

he wrote something about it, and he was like, this is actually might be different. This one we should take seriously. That was one of my first moments of panic. But I would say the first thing that really like hit me in a way that I, I don't think I'll ever forget, was South by Southwest canceling.

People might not remember that. It's the biggest, like basically, the biggest entertainment and like technology festival in America. it brings, it's something like a $300 million economic impact in Austin, Texas. They just flat out canceled. And they just canceled it. They canceled it on March 4th.

I mean, looking back at that, it was a full week before the NBA did it. And all the leagues started shutting down. And a couple weeks before we were in like nationwide shutdown. They just canceled it. And I remember thinking, you don't just cancel that? Like it hit me as like, that is incredible. I mean, that was really, they were, you know, honestly, way out. ahead of that and understanding how big this was going to be because at that time, that is not

people were not in that place. No. Yeah. People were thinking, oh, well, maybe we might have to change things around a little bit. This is getting a little weird. But people were not at the point where they thought shutdowns were coming. And they canceled that whole thing. God only knows, I mean, you know, Louisiana went famously, went ahead with Marty Grah.

And it didn't work out all that well for Louisiana. So it is one of those things where that entire industry, you know, banquets, conventions, concerts, stand-up comedians. Yes. And everyone tied to those businesses. These people all have basically no prospect for employment and haven't for nine months. I had a similar experience to your shock and awe when our church Christmas party was canceled last week. It hit me like, whoa, you can't cancel the church Christmas party.

Wow. Yeah. We're not going to have a company Christmas party this year, are we? I don't think so. Are we? I can't imagine. Surrey usually knows those things. You don't know those things?

No. No. Okay. She's drunk. Actually, it was, I was kind of relieved when the church Christmas party was canceled. I know. I was okay with that. I will say,

and I'm okay with the company of Christmas party being canceled. A lot of parties were getting out of this year and we're all kind of excited about it. Let's be honest. Yeah. Yeah, let's face it. There are some benefits. You don't get invited to weddings anymore. Right.

You know, this is, I'm turning around on this whole COVID thing. You know, I will say. It's not such a bad idea. We're like, oh, these masks, these masks, this is terrible, it's tyranny. Yeah, but you know what? No one ever talks to me anymore. Like, I never have to deal with a conversation in public ever again. It's just, I got a mask on.

We're going to start talking to each other? No. I walk right by them. I don't have to see their face. I don't have to look at them. That's kind of nice. You go into CVS now and they say, aye, sir, how's your day been going so far?

And you don't have to hear that anymore because they know I got a mask on and they know how my day is going. It sucks. I'm wearing a mask right now so I don't die. That's how it's going. Don't even ask me. And usually they don't. It's funny too.

You get like, you know, I didn't, I want to go visit my relative at the nursing home and I can't do it. And you're like, wait a minute. Last Tuesday when you were allowed to do, you didn't show up either. Let's be honest about it. It may have been sitting there by themselves for six months. The Zoom calls more than these poor people have had. That's kind of sad. Yeah.

Because in some cases, that has been going on for years. I mean, I guess we do. You know, we're going to get all these things back Maybe next year and all this said, Hey, now you can go to everyone's wedding. Oh, come on. No, I'm too scared. I'm still too scared. That's why I did a T-shirt that just says, Sorry, can't make it self-quarantined.

I was going to keep using that for a excuse for years and years and years. If you haven't noticed, it's starting to get cold out there now that winter's here.

Pat and Stufer Glenn, AAA 727BECK. We may have played this yesterday, but just as a reminder, here's what Joe Biden is saying about your holiday season that's coming up because, you know, everything's got to change now, right? You couldn't have anybody over for Thanksgiving? Well, even more so for Christmas.

I hope you all are listening as with all the you're going through, you cannot be traveling during these holidays. You got that? As much as you want to, I have a large family. Okay. We are you probably, you, I used to, kid me about it. I mean, everything for me is family, beginning, middle and then. When one comes, everybody comes.

Do you think I'm joking? I'm not. Why would I think he's joking about it? That is such a weird thing that he does all the time. You think I'm joking. I'm not joking. No, nobody thinks you're joking. Why do you always say that?

I don't know. It's like a weird tick he has. Uh-huh. He throws it into sentences all the time when everyone's sitting there like, they're not laughing. They're bored. Right. That's a totally different thing.

I don't even care, let alone think you're joking. Team people go away every Thanksgiving. My deceased son before he passed away, we'd all go away and we'd go away on Thanksgiving to be just a nuclear family. Mom, dad, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, grandchildren. Cousins? And we, the first time, we had a, we had Thanksgiving with my wife and myself. Right.

My daughter in the region and her husband who's a doctor in the region. In the region. That's it. All my other kids, everybody else in the family was on Zoom on Thanksgiving, which doesn't, well, Christmas is going to be a lot harder. Oh. And, you know, I want to scare anybody here, but understand the facts. I love this.

Here we go. He's not a fearmonger. It's Republicans at fearmonger. He doesn't want to say. scare anybody, but we're likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January. Okay, that's okay. It's a lot. He doesn't want to scare anybody, but we are likely to have a quarter of a million people

dead between now and January. Now, January is in, uh, what, 26 days? 28 days. It's December 4th, yeah. Okay. So 28 days. So four, so you're basically looking at about 10K a day. which would be high.

We've never cleared 3,000 in a day. Yeah, it's $2,700 right now. Right. And it's, you know, we probably will break those records and over the next few weeks. I mean, it probably will happen. It is very widespread right now. But will it go to $10,000 a day. I'm going to go to $10,000.

I will be very surprised if it hits that number. I think so. So I was trying to figure out where he got this number from. We were joking about this in the break. I'm like, it's possible he could say globally, 10,000 people a day will die, which is about the level we're at now. trying to say that.

If you look at some of these estimates, he says from now until January, does that mean you, do you give him January? Like, I mean, until January, to me, says until December 31st. Yeah. Right. I mean, if you include January in the estimates and take the worst estimates. You go all the way to January, yeah, January 31st. And you take the worst case scenario, you might be able to get there.

Oh. Really? Yeah. I mean, like if you're at, if the worst possible. thing happens, and you will get, which is really stretching to give him all of January. I mean, he said until January. I mean, I don't think you can do that. Because more likely, he just screwed it up.

Because if we give him till January 31st, well, now we've given him till February is how that would be, right? Right. Until February. You would have to, in order for him to be correct, you would have to say until February. But like that University of Washington model says that that's possible. Now, of course, that also means that there's no vaccine, right? Yeah.

Like if you have a vaccine that inoculates 30 million people by that time, I mean, the number's going to be a lot different. But don't they also say if you have to relax restrictions in order to do that? And it's going the other way. Yeah, think about that's a great point. I mean, think about what that means. It says it's an estimate that it revolves around easing mandates. We are not, we are doing the exact opposite. People are adding new mandates.

Yeah. Now, the effect of mandates is very overblown, very overblown. You go and look at the mask mandate states. Forget even whether the masks work or not for a second. Just throw that away for a second. Just look at what happens in states with mask mandates and states without mask mandates. What's the difference in percentage of people who actually wear masks? It's like 15%.

I want to say it's like in a state like South Dakota, about 65% of people are wearing masks regularly. Even when there's not a mandate. And in like Washington, D.C. was, I think, the highest. It was something like 80% of people were wearing masks, even though there is a mandate. Not everyone listens, right? And the same in South Dakota. A lot of people are wearing masks just because they think it might be helpful, right? And let's just wear them.

You know, sometimes they're mandated in stores. You know, there's other reasons. But like, when you look at statewide policy, there are really good personal liberty reasons to argue about those things. When it comes to pragmatic actual effects, people generally speaking make their own decisions. They make their own decisions. And they're going to, they're going to err on the side of being cautious. Yeah. I mean, like, usually. The mass thing is interesting because you could look at a lot of the studies. Some show very little benefit for masks. Some show decent benefit for masks. Nothing shows. It's not a panacea. There is no, it's not a cure for COVID. It, it, like, even the best,

the most optimistic studies on masks will show like you might cut your chance of getting, of it spreading by like 50%, which is, Something that's significant. But when it's not, when you're talking about not letting people make their own personal choice and instead throwing a mandate on their head, right? The standard for a government to mandate something should be really high. Like, I don't want any of it. But even if you do want mandates, it should be incredibly high bar you have to clear as far as benefit. On the other side, for your personal use, it should be pretty low. Like, if you think there's a 10% chance that.

it'll help and it's not really going to interrupt your life too much, you probably are going to do it. That's why a lot of people are, you know, they're doing their dinners outside. They're standing, you know, they're standing a few feet away from each other. Even if they don't necessarily, they don't necessarily worry themselves, they'll take some steps. Yeah. You know, and that's, that's a much more sensible way for a country to deal with it. You know, let get people reliable information. Let people say, hey, this might help. Might not. But, you know, hey, if you want to take some steps that might help. I think most people would say that, right?

Like, if you have a safety feature on your car that might help in a few percent of cases, all things being equal, you'd probably throw it on your car if it's cheap. If it's really expensive, you won't. You know, that's how you make decisions. You were able to take a cost-benefit analysis and look at how your risk, you know, is in life. And you try to judge that risk. That's how we all live. It's why we go 65 in the highway and not three.

Because if we went three, we wouldn't die in car accidents. ever, we also don't go 170. You know, whether the mandate is there or not. Now, Pat, of course, does go 170. It's why he gets 15 speeding tickets a week. Once in a while. Do 170, 175, something like that. Yeah, but that's, but you're, you're

not in the norm on that one. No, no. Probably not. Bernardette. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu. Hi, you guys are doing great. I just have a question. Before, God help us, Biden takes over.

He has to have a, shall we say, a physical by the White House doctors? And what if he doesn't pass mental capacity? You know, you almost should have to do that. But no, there's no physical that he must take before he goes, before he takes office that I'm aware of. No, I mean, I appreciate it. If you remember, Trump released a letter from his doctors saying he was the most healthy person in the universe or something. Remember that? In history, I think he was the most healthy person ever.

Yeah, usually dip. Candidates will disclose basics about their health. There's no constitutional requirement for something like that, though. There is a constitutional requirement to have mental capacity, however. It's just done through the 25th Amendment, not through some doctor's order. You can throw someone out if you don't think they are, but that is their cabinet. It would have to be Biden's cabinet who did that. Obviously, we remember that they were, you know, there was talk at times about that happening

with Trump from people who didn't like Trump. Like, oh, use the 25th Amendment, just throw them out. I mean, the chances of this happening are basically zero. But if and when it does happen where he's to the point where he just can't function and it's totally obvious, it'll be a complete surprise to everybody. Whoa. No one saw that coming. Who would have known that his cognitive abilities are declining? Right.

There was no way to tell. There's no indication of that, certainly. Yeah. And I don't want to say by the way. I don't want to say that there's zero chance that he steps down because he's losing his mind. Right. That is much more likely than 0%. I'm saying the actual process of the 25th amendment being utilized is incredibly unlikely.

The pressure of it would likely make him resign. It's just like, you know, like Nixon, right? He didn't actually get thrown out of office. He would have been thrown out of office if he stayed. You get to that level. He's just going to resign. Or it might get to the level of, let's say, Woodrow Wilson, who had a severe stroke. And he was just incapacitated.

And they just hid that from the American people for two years, while his wife took over the country. Incredible. I mean, at the 25th Amendment, the only time it actually gets used is like, it's someone, you know, a president needs to get surgery and go under anesthesia. Yeah. So like for a few hours. And you'd have to know about that.

Yeah. Like the government needs to know. And the vice president, you know, like takes the leadership role there. But, you know, as far as it like the cabinet gathering around and plotting against them, that happens in House of Cards. It could happen in a Biden administration. if it gets bad or if just Kamala really wants the gig. And I think she does.

But I think it would likely happen in more of a resignation process if the writing on the wall was seen. Yes. Nikki in Pennsylvania. Hi. Hi, guys. Merry Christmas and God bless you. Thanks. You too.

Same to you. So my, I'm kind of interested to see what's going to happen with the character of Elliott Page on Umbrella Academy. because. No, because, because, yeah. Yeah. Is she going to become Vaughn? Yeah.

Is she going to become Vaughn? Is she going to be a man? A brother now? Good question. You know, she was a lesbian who corrupted, you know, a married woman. So, what is that character? I'm not watching the show, but I mean, it is interesting because she,

now, I think it was last year, Ellen Page, came out as a lesbian. So she was, in the world, woke world, she was allowed to play that role on umbrella and cabinet because she also was a lesbian. However, now she is not a lesbian. No, she's... She's a man, we're told. So I guess she's heterosexual. So now

she's a heterosexual male if she likes women. By the way, I think her preferred pronoun is certainly not her any longer. So I wish you would... Point of personal privilege. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Please do not use gendered language to

address everyone. Okay, thank you. So I didn't mean She likes to do that. But I think she likes they. I think it's, is it in he they? I think she. Can we check on that? I don't know. Yeah, we'll check on it.

But I saw an article that was referring. He they. He they? Okay. He they. All right. So they were referred to as they. But also you could refer to Ellen Page as he, who is now Elliott Page.

But my point is though. Did you just dead name her? I did. But the point is, doesn't. So Ellen Page doesn't exist. is what we're supposed to believe, right? Yes. But that's a great question because she's in the middle of a role on Umbrella Academy,

which I do watch, have watched, and I've watched both seasons. It's good. And it's good. Yeah, it's fun. It's a different kind of show. It's written by, who was it? Is it written by some rock star wrote it? And I can't remember.

Is it, my chemical romance guy, maybe? or yeah, is it my chemical romance? Gerard Way? Yeah, he wrote it and it's actually really good. Anyway, she is, she does play. As Nikki pointed out, he, they, was she her on the show. And so now that they've established that for two whole seasons, I don't know how they're going to handle it. I mean, she has to step down from this role.

You would think so, right? Every role. In fact, I think she should have to get, shouldn't she give up her royalties for Juno where she played a pregnant girl? girl? Yes. I mean, she should have to give up all those royalties. Yes. I would assume this is something, I mean, how many times did she take roles that girls or women could have played when she supposedly was a man the whole time?

It's a really good point. I think it's wrong. I mean, we saw this, you know, as ridiculous as this conversation is, last year, at least, or no, this year, at least twice, there were white women actors. not actresses, but actors, who voiced characters that were not the exact same as them. I'm outraged by that, by the way. There was one woman who was a mixed race, and she was voicing a mixed race character.

However, it was a different mix, so she had to give up the role. I'm serious. That is legitimately the thing that happened. Stupid. So stupid. But if they had to do that, then certainly he, they has to do it now. Exactly. He-they can't continue to play a role that a she-her should be playing.

Appreciate that. Especially, now a she-her that liked a she-her, she was qualified for that role. Now that she's a he-they and still likes she-hers, she's not a straight white male. The worst thing in the planet. Exactly right. A straight white male. If you're going to transition, transition to something good.

Not a straight white male. That's the last thing we need is more of them. Triple-8-7-27. Back. I'll talk about Omaha Steaks. They got a big delivery for the holidays. Oh, yes, please. Yes.

I wanted to talk about our friend Uncle Joe if he were to step foot into the White House. So he has this 100-day mask mandate idea, which has got to be one of the stupidest things in part because he's going to be able to claim

success and have nothing to do with it. Wait, why are you saying it's stupid? It's not stupid for him. That's a good point. Because after 100 days, I mean, that takes you to May 1st. You've had two and a half months of warming weather, outdoor activities resuming. And the vaccine, right? You're going to have

50 million people vaccinated by then, probably. And then he'll take credit. Appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Adam. He'll take credit for all of that. Even though it was Donald Trump, who got those things. moving forward at the pace they moved. Right. If this vaccine works as well as they say,

this will be Joe Biden's vaccine. It will somehow, they will retrofit this to be Joe Biden's success story. Nothing could be further from the truth. Amazing.
