Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to aboard Via Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarque and celebrate. Rigolet. Publiere. Savory. Admirate.
Starting point is 00:00:11 And profite. Viaray, the voice that we love. Program. With Pat and Stu today, Glenn's on vacation this week. Triple 877, BECK. I think we
Starting point is 00:01:23 continue to enjoy really unique times in the United States of America. Maybe in world history. I don't remember anything like this going on where members of a president's own party, many of them, are demanding that he step aside and not run for re-election. The last president to step aside, by the way, and not run for re-election was LBJ, Lyndon Johnson. I guess he had, I don't know, he was in the middle of Vietnam, he had some health issues. Plus, he was just a terrible president. Yeah, one of the worst presidents of all the time,
Starting point is 00:02:03 which people don't necessarily mention enough when it comes to LBJ. A racist, a bad president, a bad guy. Almost all of the problems we have today was he had a hand in almost every single one of them individually. Yeah. So a lot of the $31 trillion in debt is thanks to LBJ. Basically all of it. Yeah. Basically all of it.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Thank you. Thank you. But they continued the Biden. continue to be defiant. We'll talk about that much more. Coming up in one minute. You know what television needs? A nice little cooking show for dogs.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You know, it would be so easy. Every episode would basically be the same thing. A dog makes a batch of kibble food, turn the oven all the way up to the top at a high temperature, and just bake that kibble until it had nothing left of nutritional value at all. And then the dog would just go away to find some human food. That's pretty much what it will go on. Basically, I don't know if it's a million-dollar idea or not,
Starting point is 00:02:57 but if you want your dog to have good nutrition, maybe not pestering you at the bottom of the table for your human food all the time. Maybe give them rough greens. It's not a dog food. It is a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. You sprinkle on top of the dog food. Remember, brown food is dead food.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You want the greens. If you care about your dog, you want them to have the best. And you name it, if it's healthy for your dog, it's probably already in Rough Greens. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it. They have a special deal for you. to roughgreens.com slash backer. Call 833, Glenn 33. They're going to give you your first trial
Starting point is 00:03:33 bag free. That's right, free. All you have to do is pay shipping or call 833-833-G-L-E-N-N-33 for Rough Greens. Call today. We actually played the Joe Biden call in to MSNBC and Joe and Mika yesterday. And it was fascinating because you can tell. You can actually hear the paper rustling as he's reading. I didn't notice that, can you? Yeah. Yeah, but it was all from his heart. It was all from the heart. Yeah, I was on with Megan Kelly after the show yesterday. And she made the point. I think I agree with this. I'd love to hear your take on it. That basically, television networks should not take calls from candidates on the phone. Because they can be doing exactly what Joe Biden was doing.
Starting point is 00:04:29 They could just be reading. Yeah. And you can't tell. And like I think, especially in this era, I think that's probably the right call. You should just refuse it. Joe Biden wants to come on the air with you. Like it's probably a big get for Joe Scarborough.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Obviously outside of 14 people in Washington, D.C., nobody talks about. So for a day, people notice that he still has a show. And so I'm sure it's attempting to take the call. But like, is it, it's the right thing to do? I mean, even when Trump used to call in all the time, and I don't think, I think you can tell Donald Trump was not reading notes.
Starting point is 00:05:05 He's just going off the top of his head. That's how Donald Trump is. But still, like, it opens up that opportunity. And I don't think it's a good one. They should be able to be speaking to you directly. Although, if the president called into this show, I think I'd want to take it and ask him some tough questions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you want to take the... Yeah, I mean, on radio, look, there's no video call. right? There's no option. So I think on radio maybe it's a little bit different. But on TV you have the, like, freaking get in front of a camera if you want to go on a television show. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I think on radio, obviously different. But it's, it's interesting because I've never seen seen him do that before. I don't know that he's ever called into a live show like that before. These are the aides around him coming up with strategies to continue
Starting point is 00:05:52 to hide what we all know is going on. And look, if you are in that role, this is your job. Yeah. Your job is to fool the American people into thinking your candidate has a brain that is operational. You know, I mean, it is
Starting point is 00:06:08 I just been watching the original Star Wars trilogy with my daughter for the first time. She's never seen it. Starting with episode four. Yeah, I made that call. That was the right call, right? That's the right call. I thought so too. At one point she asked, she's like, why don't
Starting point is 00:06:24 I just, if the one, two, and three, why don't I just watch one, two, and three first? And I was like, I don't think it's going to work. I don't think, I think there's references to things you're supposed to know. I just don't think it's going to work. So we didn't go that way. But at the point where, you know, what was it, Return of the Jedi, the fully operational battle station, like, that is the, what you have to say if you are an aide and a campaign worker
Starting point is 00:06:48 for Joe Biden. You have to say his brain is fully operational, even though everyone looks at it and says, well, wait a minute, that doesn't look like it. It looks like half of it isn't even built yet, right? Yeah. It looks like a big chunk is missing out of the Death Star. And while in the movie, the Death Star could fire. I don't know why they didn't use it more often.
Starting point is 00:07:08 It just seemed like every once in a while they'd use it. But it seems like they could fire it more often than they did. The bottom line is at the end of the day, it's not operational in the Biden case. It doesn't work. Yeah. It is the equivalent of an old beat-up car that's been sitting in your garage for 15 years. And you try to turn it on. And when you crank that key, it doesn't, it makes car sounds, but it doesn't actually go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And that's where we are. So you come up with ways to fool people, teleprompters and speeches, teleprompters at private fundraisers. And what is basically the equivalent of a teleprompter on a live interview? He's got notes right in front of him. He's just reading. It's as if Joe Scarborough is a child and a. fairy tale is being read read to him.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And Joe Biden just like reading it off of cards. I don't know what you get out of that. And by the way, we should note, Pat, he didn't even do it well. No, not at all. It didn't even hide his infirm state. So if he was reading it, and as usual, he can't handle that. There's something wrong with his reading skills. He can't do it.
Starting point is 00:08:19 And when it comes to numbers, I mean, he cannot handle numbers. No. Now, I... He doesn't know if it's millions. or billions, trillions, a trillion, billion, billion, thousand million. He does that all the time. Well, you don't think that a person could just mess up numbers constantly
Starting point is 00:08:35 and still work at a high level? Not every time. Let me tell you about a guy named Glenn Beck. But Glenn Beck's not the president of the United States. No, but he's in the Radio Hall of Fame. The guy's never said a correct number on the air 25 years. That is true. He's got a little something in common there.
Starting point is 00:08:51 He does. That's great. That's great. He's in good company. You know, there would be an additional level of scrutiny on Glenn if perhaps he ran for president of the United States. Yeah, maybe. And people might get on him a little bit more about him screwing up numbers. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Joe Biden never says the right number. He can't even say like basic words at this point. And he really can't finish sentences. I don't know what that is. He gets halfway through a sentence and just stops and goes on in the next thing. And then it's usually, anyway. or look or
Starting point is 00:09:28 let me say it this way or and then he says that or the idea that and then tries to go on to something else yeah
Starting point is 00:09:40 or he'll be like Medicare and number one like he starts he tries to build a list and you're like good God don't go into a list man you don't have two things you can think of
Starting point is 00:09:55 you couldn't even come up number one. But he tries to go, like he acts as if he's got, these are all things he does to hide what's going on. Yeah. You know, when he say number one, it's like, it sends a weird message to people that like, okay, actually he's got a list of things and maybe he's getting confused because he's got so many things going on in his head. He's got a big list. That's what he wants you to believe. Now, I think everybody can see through that, but still, I mean, a good chunk of the country thinks he should be president of the United States. Yeah. It's amazing. Interesting story from the Washington Post about the missteps, the screw-ups of the people around him and how they've handled this since the debate.
Starting point is 00:10:37 That, you know, he flummoxed donors with brief quiet speeches at post-debate fundraisers. So as he's trying to prove that that was just a one-off. Yeah, I had one Ben night. But watch me now. And he has actually said, I think he said it yesterday. He's been saying it for years. Watch me. Yeah, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:11:01 We are. I have a cognitive test every day. Every day. And just watch me. Watch what I do. Okay. By the way, the reason. It's like Gary Hart, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah. When he told reporters to follow him. If you don't, if you don't think I'm a good guy, follow me. And watch what I do. And they did. And they found that he was having an affair with somebody. And so that was not a good idea. A balsy thing to do.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I mean, it's pretty balsy for Biden, too, because people have been watching him. The president of the United States is sort of hard to miss. And what people have decided is he's got a 36% approval rating. This is before the debate. Yeah. Right? I don't know what it is now. But, I mean, before the debate, he was at 36%.
Starting point is 00:11:44 If it doesn't go down, there's something wrong with the American people, too. Not just him. It's us. There is a disease the American people are afflicted with, which is extreme. partisanship. And this is why I am fearful of this election, even if Biden stays in, which I still think is the best option here, because it makes the path to less insanity more, you know, straightforward. Easier. I think easier. But, you know, look, the bottom line is we talk about, like, we talk about Trump derangement syndrome, right? What does that mean? Well, about half the country has an irrational
Starting point is 00:12:22 hatred for Donald Trump and will never vote for him. Well, I think we all agreed that's true. So if that's true, you should be fearful every second of the next four months. Because there's no room for error, right? Like Donald Trump has about half the country that will never, ever consider voting for him. So, and then maybe the number is 45%, maybe it's 46%. It's somewhere in that vicinity probably. And that makes the path for Donald Trump difficult.
Starting point is 00:12:55 It means that because of this irrational hatred, because of what the media has done to Donald Trump, because of these things that have gone on since Donald Trump has been in the public eye going back years and years and years and years, like, there's a bunch of people that never will consider it no matter what. So it doesn't matter if it is an invalid. It doesn't matter if it's a word salad lady. It doesn't matter if a guy who looks like he's out of a Patrick Bateman in a serial killer movie. It doesn't matter who it is. Like right off the bat, those guys also.
Starting point is 00:13:25 start with 45% of the vote, and then you just got to kind of cross your fingers. So it's always dangerous. We are always in a situation where this is going to be scary. And even with a guy who can't seem to complete a sentence, it's going to be difficult. I still think it's the easiest path, though. And him staying in the race, which I think there's some pretty big developments on that today, is notable. You know, I mean, it makes that path more straightforward. And I think it's obvious to most people, even though they hate Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:13:55 that this guy should not be president. Mm-hmm. And that's helpful for an independent. It's helpful for people who are on the fence, whoever those freaking people are. It's hard to believe there's anybody like that now. It really is, Pat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:07 AAA 727 BECK. More coming up in a minute. Our NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic and shocking story made national headlines. During a traffic stop, Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal. He was the first line of duty, death for, and this is, you know, two years in the NYPD. Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests and was awarded as having excellent and meritorious police duty
Starting point is 00:14:35 on several occasions. Jonathan, it was just 31 years old, leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, his one-year-old son, Ryan, and his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family. At his funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless. She said, my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one. For this family, nothing will ever replace the loss of a husband and father. But thanks to the kindness of friends like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to pay off the mortgage on the Diller family home. Our fallen heroes and their families need help, and Tunnel to Towers is stepping up, helping heroes like Jonathan and their families. If you can help out, please do. This is a great
Starting point is 00:15:14 organization. They've done so many fantastic things for people who have made this country what it is. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T. dot org. That's T the number two, t.org. T2.t.org. Donate to tunnel to towers today. 10 second, station ID. Pat and Stu for Glenn today. You know, Stu, you mentioned the brain test and whether or not he's taken one. Mika actually asked that. I don't know. Do we play that part of the interview yesterday? We all got about three sentences into the interview. That's our fault. But here is Mika asking Joe Biden if he's had a brain test. Have you been tested for any age-related illnesses, pre-Parkinsons, or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:16:11 that might explain sort of having a night like that where you couldn't finish sentences? That's funny. I had before, I was feeling so badly before the debate. When I came back, they tested me before, I thought, you had COVID, maybe there was something wrong. I had an infection or something. They tested me. They gave me those tests. I was clear. But have you had a brain test.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Look, I had a bad night. But the fact of the matter is, look at what I'm doing. I mean, let me put it this way. If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes and that's one night and goes away. That's why I've been out.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I've been testing myself. I've been testing everywhere I go. Okay. And failing. And failing everywhere you've gone. of that debate. I went out. I was out to 2 o'clock in the morning. That very night. That very night, it drives me nuts, people talking about this. Drives him nuts. People talking about this. Wow, I don't want to drive him nuts. No, you don't want that. That's sad. We should stop talking about it. Why haven't we? You know? Why haven't we? It drives the poor man nuts. Leave him alone. He's just the president. It's not like he's got an important position that you really want to vet. No. And you want to make sure the guy's capable of
Starting point is 00:17:30 doing this job? No way. Don't worry about it. Move on. Do we really need people who can form coherent thoughts running the country? No, look, he's been tested every day. Every day. Watch him. Watch him. Watch him.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Listen to him. Security Secretary I'm not sure. After I signed the Pac-A-Lac Act into... I mean, pack, Adelac, I mean, good God. Good God. We are in trouble.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And I think this is going to be a mea-mix commercial. Security secretary. Pretty soon. Miam-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m. I mean, you think it just, just say your stumbles louder. At least that would make you think, okay, he's not just reading away into nothing. It's just, look, the whole thing is really sad on a human level. It's just the fact that our country's stake is kind of a big problem.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah. So unless that's sad than pissed. Yes, I'm pissed. I'm just fed up with it. I'm going to be selfish on this one. I'm going to say, hey, you know what? I've got a couple kids. A wife living in this country would like it to not go down the tubes.
Starting point is 00:18:46 We'd like to like it to continue. Yeah. But just to be clear, the answer was no. He did not take any brain test, any cognitive test. And he has no plan to ever do that. No. And why? Because he would fail.
Starting point is 00:18:58 If nothing is wrong with you, though, as you keep saying, it was just one bad night. We've got no other evidence, despite the fact that we've got hundreds and hundreds of clips of him, doing the self-same thing over and over and over and over again on many, many days and nights. But he keeps claiming he's fine. Well, then prove it. Do the test, say yes, absolutely. I'll submit to a test just to put the American people at ease. that I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And then I will release the results to the American people. And you'll see that I don't have anything wrong with me cognitively. Why wouldn't you do that if nothing's wrong with you cognitively? You would. And these are basic things. Anybody can pass these tests. They're not hard. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:44 He's just, I mean, can you imagine what happened if he failed? It would be over. It would be over, you think. Although, again, he'd still be in control of this. And this is one of the things I keep coming back to. The bottom line is the man who has to say Joe Biden is not president and is not the nominee is Joe Biden. Not even Jill, not Hunter, certainly not Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer, definitely not Jerry Nadler. Definitely not these congressmen that have been like, oh, I've never heard of that person before that have come out publicly and said that he should step down none of this.
Starting point is 00:20:20 All that matters is him. unless they're going to go 25th Amendment on him and even in that case as we discussed which is not going to happen but even if it did he would still remain on the ballot
Starting point is 00:20:30 unless he decided he was off of it. 25th Amendment just takes you out of office he could still be the candidate if he wanted to do can you imagine if they did that that's what I want to happen
Starting point is 00:20:41 this is what I'm rooting for they actually do the 25th Amendment Kamala Harris organizes a coup and then he just stays on the ballot and loses wouldn't that just be an incredible story.
Starting point is 00:20:53 What would probably happen, though? He'd stay on the ballot and win. Then you've got a problem. That would be amazing. Wouldn't that be something? By the way, just to go back as we're going to break here to our previous conversation on approval rating, on June 27th, that's the day of the debate. His approval rating was 38.1%.
Starting point is 00:21:12 It is currently 37.4%. Like, I don't know. If I'm Joe Biden, like, what has his... It barely went down. The media has said it. Yes, some Democrats have said it. But have your own voters said it? Really?
Starting point is 00:21:26 I'm not. I mean, yes, you can find polls that say they want to be out. But at the end of the day, if this approval rating said 29%, he's probably out. At 37, he probably just keeps going. It's going to chance it. Why not? I mean, if you're him and you're already corrupt and already a disaster of a human being, why not? If you happen to be living with everyday aches and pains, there are a lot of things that you can try.
Starting point is 00:21:54 You can tough it out. You can bite the bullet. can grin and bear it. I don't know if you know this though, but nothing, that doesn't really work. It worked maybe in TV and movies, but maybe not in real life. You could try something instead that has helped so many other people, relief factor.

Starting point is 00:23:21 Beal-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-d-d-d- It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. Triple-8-727-B-E-C-K. Stu, you say that you have the biggest Biden story of the day? Yes, biggest Biden story. the day. Maybe the biggest Biden story since the debate. Oh, my right? The biggest Biden story since the debate.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Okay. You ready for it? I think so. Prepare yourself. Okay. U.S. officials say Russia is unlikely to take much more Ukrainian territory. Russian forces are inflicting pain, but NATO leaders gathering in Washington
Starting point is 00:24:07 say that their efforts to strengthen Ukraine are working. Now, why is that the biggest Biden story since the debate. It's because it is since the debate the first time I have checked the New York Times and their top story was not about Joe Biden dropping out. Oh, wow. Every since the debate, there has been either Joe Biden's getting trashed.
Starting point is 00:24:31 We're calling for him to drop out. We have new people who are saying they're going to drop out. Here's Kamala Harris. How can she do? Well, should there be another primary? Joe Biden fails in an interview. He's not going out as much. he's not making call. Every single angle they could possibly come up with to try to get Joe Biden to drop out of this race has been at the front and head of the New York Times every single moment since that debate happened. Today I woke up and decided to check it, which I do for you every day.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I will say it sucks. But I do it every day. And when I did today, a Russia story. Now, they could obviously lead. You can lead with Russia every. There's a always a story about Russia and Ukraine. You could throw in there if you want to. The fact that this is no longer leading the coverage is, I think, a huge indication that he may have succeeded pushing back this wave. He's riding this storm out. Now, I think it's in some ways premature to, like, be sure about it because he could come out tomorrow and have another debate-type performance and start this thing up again. Like, if he has a catastrophe in front of a large audience, it could start it up again. If he stays in and he somehow muddles through until September 10th when the next debate happens.
Starting point is 00:25:49 And he actually goes through with the second debate, which he's already said he's going to. And then you have it happen again. Well, then it's too late, right? It's too late at that point. You can't switch him out. Yeah. I mean, there would be all sorts of legal problems with that. States have rules about switching out nominees.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Now, because I could easily see that happening again. Yeah. He will melt down in his second debate. Sometime during the debate. Probably. It's hard to imagine it being worse than that one. Yeah. But even like the Scarborough interview yesterday was really bad.
Starting point is 00:26:24 It was worse than his Stephanopoulos interview. Yeah, it was bad. He was all over the board. He was trying to laugh and like be funny. But he could. He was slurring his words. I mean, it was bad. You know, as I said yesterday, like the, you know, the one to 10 scale that exists for politicians,
Starting point is 00:26:38 all Joe Biden content exists between one and three on that scale. So like the best thing that Joe Biden could ever do would be a three out of ten. The, the, the, uh, the Stephanopoulos interview was like a two out of ten. It was like not as best, that's the best thing I've ever seen out of Joe Biden, but it was like in the middle, middle upper. I don't know, 2.1, 2.2. The Scarborough thing was like 1.3. It was really bad. It was bad.
Starting point is 00:27:01 It was bad. The, the debate performance was a zero, right? Like maybe a negative one. But if he has more zero. and negative ones, this could change. And he, I guess, could drop out himself. I mean, if he had some, if they fake a medical condition in theory, he could drop out, the closer and closer it gets, though, the more and more ridiculous it gets.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And there are laws that would keep him out of certain states. Like, they would actually have real problems there. There's a million logistical issues that come with a later departure. I think, though, the answer, though, is he can't say he's not doing. doing this debate now. If he says that, everyone's going to go, wait a minute, you just said you were fine and now you can't do the debate. He has to say he's in. However, at the end of August, after the convention's over, he doesn't have to say he's in anymore. Oh, I'm not going to debate this convicted felon now. Not after what he just said last week. Whatever he said last week is,
Starting point is 00:28:03 they'll come up with some justification to get him out of it, I think. It could. But, you know, I The American people look at Joe Biden have no faith in him. They realize that he can't do this job. 86% of people say he's too old to do this job. But Joe Biden does not look at himself that way. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:28:21 That is the big thing I think a lot of people miss when they say he's going to drop out. He thinks he can do it and he really wants the power. And he thinks he can trick us into believing that he can do it. And that's why he does the fake jog all the time. Yep. You know. I love the fake. I hate the fake jog so much.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Pizzes me off. He'll do it two or three times. In like 10 feet, he'll do it. He'll do the fake jog three times. So what is the fake jog, Pat, designed to convey? That he's full of Vim and vigor. This man can sprint. He can jog to wherever he's going at any time.
Starting point is 00:29:06 He'll just start. running. But the fake jog is just a couple of steps, right? And it's just an arm movement. He doesn't even move any faster. He doesn't go any faster. He just moves his arms. I hate it. Oh, it drives me out of my mind. It's one of his many quirks. It really is. It is. That and don't jump are two of my just unbelievable pet peeves. I know you've explained this before, but can you give the audience a taste of what don't don't jump is? Anytime Joe Biden is at an event could be speech, a gathering of any kind, and there's anybody standing above him. Like someone like on a balcony or a platformer.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yes. Seating above him. Sure. He will look up at them and he will inevitably say, don't job. Thinks it's funny for some reason. Like suicide is funny to him. Suicide attempts are just so humorous. They are hilarious.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I have to say it everywhere I go. Don't jump. Yeah. don't jump. And then he gets a huge laugh, right? That's what usually... Almost never. Almost never.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Occasionally he'll get like a... That was weird. Kind of reaction, you know, but... I mean, every once in a while you have a go-to line, you think really works and you bring it out over and over again. Yeah. Stunningly with Joe Biden, it's this, and I don't think I understand. I mean, listen to it. I see him, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Don't jump. We need you. No, don't jump. We need you. I didn't see the bleachers up there. Hey, everybody. Okay, I didn't see the bleachers is the setup. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:44 To jump, don't jump. Don't jump. Why? Why are you doing it? Why? What is this? Don't jump. Don't jump.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Don't jump. Thank you, sir. Don't jump. Don't jump. Don't jump. Hey, man. Don't jump. You look crazy enough to jump.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Don't jump. Don't jump. Look. Okay. And we're coming. Don't jump. Don't jump. Don't jump.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Sometimes you're used to jump. Don't jump. The cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and don't jump. I'm up there, okay? What an earth. Not a joke. so weird.
Starting point is 00:31:43 What is going on? I will see. That's one of the weirdest things ever. It is from a politician. Yeah. And it's not really funny. He did a guy, there's a couple he gets in,
Starting point is 00:31:51 you're right, that couple mumbly laughs. That's about it. Yeah. One interesting thing about listening to that though, Pat, if I may. And those have been compiled over a few years, right?
Starting point is 00:32:01 Like since he's been present, all of them have been since he's been president, I think, yeah. Yeah. I don't think he could speak like that today. Like there are times where he seems like he's speaking relatively normally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:14 There are times in there where he has some energy and... True. And he's... And he's... And he's not capable of that anymore. I don't think he's capable of any of those moments now. No. Which is terrifying.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Because those aren't good moments. We're highlighting them because they were bad. Yeah. And yet... Yeah. But there is a certain energy, usually. Yeah. To...
Starting point is 00:32:32 Don't jump! He just loves that. That's a schick. Yeah. It's like the Jim Gaffigan Hot Pockets bit. He just loves it. I have noticed. And there's been a dearth.
Starting point is 00:32:41 of don't jumps in about the last maybe three months. I think it's probably been two or three months. Has that slipped out of the back of the mind? It might be out of the mind or maybe he's like you said, just not capable of that kind of energy where he looks up at people and I'm going to do that funny charming line.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Don't jump because suicide is so funny and I'm going to encourage them not to. I mean, what? You know, if that was Donald Trump saying don't jump to people all the time, that's what he would get. He would get something stupid. You know, like, oh. Suicide is not funny.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It's no laughing matter. People have jumped from heights and killed themselves over it. That's what would happen to Trump. That you're probably right. You're probably right. I mean, in reality, it's just a stupid joke. It's... It's...
Starting point is 00:33:27 Asinine, yes. Fascinating. By the way, Joe Biden, and this has been incredible to watch. And I wish I had the guts to try to roll through a market like this and just make money. But every time I refresh the best... betting markets on who's going to be the Democratic nominee. It's different. Like Kamala Harris had like a 30 point lead at one point. Right now, Joe Biden's 71 Kamala Harris, 18%. Wow. So we are back now, apparently in the Joe Biden category, he now looks like he's going to hold on, which is incredible. Michelle Obama, 4% by the way, Glenn, if you happen to be listening.
Starting point is 00:34:04 She is third, so I shouldn't be too cocky. But it is, he has, it's easy to figure. It's easy to out what the strategy should be in this moment. The strategy should be. You have a bad debate performance. You come out. You hit the ground hard. You do interview after interview. You do a Sunday show, maybe two Sunday shows.
Starting point is 00:34:23 You come out. You do everything you can to reassure people. You're doing events. You're not going on prompter. You're not doing events where you make the hosts ask you questions you've predetermined and get them fired. You don't go on Joe Scarborough on the phone and read your answers. Like, that's not what you do.
Starting point is 00:34:41 So executing the strategy is the issue. The strategies should be easy. If he came out and had 10 great interviews in a row and looked sharp, it would be fine. People would be like, all right, like, that was bad. You would say, okay, yeah, that was a one-off performance. One-off performance. He's fine. But it's not a one-off performance.
Starting point is 00:34:59 They've done everything to try to hide that it wasn't a one-off performance. And at the end of the day, like, people need to, like, all of these excuses that have piled up now, the cold. Jet lag. The jet lag. The dehydration, the working too late, the not getting enough sleep. I know I'm missing. The over-prepared, the too many numbers in his head. Over-prepared, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I mean, he was exhausted. All of these excuses that they've rolled out one after Donald Trump was yelling during the debate. Right. But even though he was on camera and it wasn't moving his mouth, all these things that have popped up since the debate are steps to try to cover what actually happened. But remember, things like the cold is a perfect example of of something you would have known about if it was a factor. In the days leading up, if this guy had a cold and he's going to come out with a raspy voice
Starting point is 00:35:57 and he was going to be incoherent, they would have been peppering the media. Yes, to lower expectations. And like we would have called it out. We would have said, oh, come on, he's got a cold. Now he's trying to lower expectations. Everybody on the right would have seen it, but they would have done what they could to lower expectations and change that. None of that happened because none of it was true. Right. He didn't have 12-day jet lag. That's not a thing. I don't know what jet he was on,
Starting point is 00:36:25 but that's not a thing. All of this is obvious to anyone who thinks about it. But, you know, and what I think is fascinating about that is it's even obvious to the left. It's obvious to the media, and it's why we got this full court press to get him out over the past couple of weeks. We are now getting to almost two weeks from this debate. And he's still in? He's still in. I think I said that on the debate coverage right after the debate, he needs to somehow figure out how to get through the next two weeks.
Starting point is 00:36:53 And he's done that. So almost. It's Tuesday. So he's got to get to Thursday, I guess. Yeah. If you get through two weeks, I think you're in a position where your odds are really high. That doesn't account for a real catastrophe. publicly or a health issue that's more severe.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Like those things can still change the picture. And I don't know exactly, you know, you get an unforeseen territory when you're talking about like a real, a late, late day dropout like that. And we've obviously had people who have died in plane crashes right before elections, right? And like they're, they come up with something that happens. Usually it's not like, well, that party just doesn't have a candidate this time. Something happens. But man, I mean, this would be completely unprecedented if you're doing something like that,
Starting point is 00:37:37 that late. Yeah. AAA 727 BECK. More coming up. You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.

What do you make of the Parkinson's doctor's visit to the White House 10 times? Well, Pat, first of all, he was there for annual checkups three times for the president who found nothing wrong, nothing at all. And the other times he was there just because other military members, other military members, but we can't give any details on any of how. that obviously because of hip-p-privacy and security issues.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Exactly. So we will give you no details on that at all. But that's exactly what happened. And you should believe it for a reason. A lot of people don't know this, but Parkinson's specialists are also really well-versed in jet lag. Oh, yeah. And sometimes they treat jet lag on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah. I didn't know that. Again, I'm not a doctor. Right. That's the thing. Okay. So this is a jet lag specialist.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Yes. Yes. Now, I mean, I guess you need a specialist to determine why you have jet flagged. 12 days later. Yeah. It's kind of a, it is an issue. It is a medical marvel. I'll give you that.

Starting point is 00:42:41 Our presence on Amazon enlarge our basin of clientele to the world entire. SACMagic, is the compress that all the world prefer. At from here,
Starting point is 00:42:49 we're grandie. Trouver of little enterprises like on Amazon.C.A. MacRey and Stubergear for Glenn this week.
Starting point is 00:43:45 We've got some fascinating stuff to share from the White House press conference yesterday with Corinne Jean-Pierre. We'll get to that coming up in 60 seconds. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where your credit card balance wasn't hit with, you know, crippling compound interest? I mean, that would be a nice world to live in. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.
Starting point is 00:44:09 And if you're someone who's had credit cards and you've used them a lot, chances are pretty high that you could end up in debt up to your eyeballs eventually. I'm talking about the kind of debt that can wipe out your savings and set you back years, if not permanently. But if you're a fiscally responsible person, you should find a little time in your day to give the mortgage consultants over at American financing a quick call. They're going to look over your finances.
Starting point is 00:44:32 They're going to see if there's some areas that can be improved. For instance, your mortgage can really work for you, right? Like it can help you get out of high interest debt fast. Why not utilize it? That's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with American financing. As always, don't take our word for it. Just do your own homework.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Call American Financing, talk to them. 800906 2440. I've done business with American Financing. Had a great experience. I think you will as well. 800906 2440 or go to Americanfinancing.net. It's Americanfinancing. dot net.

So the press has seemingly woken up a bit. the White House Press Corps. And I guess it was just the debate performance because that was the first night where anything seemed unusual with Joe Biden. Huh.
Starting point is 00:45:33 The guy's been declining for years now and nobody's paid attention to it. And declining from a low point. Yeah. Right. Like it's not like, oh, he was incredible. To begin with. Yeah. He was bad.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I mean, remember, this is a guy who at, what was it, 2008? I think it was. was when he was on, I want to say it was a bus, and they were like, and he's like, what do he say, Theodore Roosevelt was on television? Oh, yes. Do you remember the Theodore Roosevelt was on television? I do remember that. Yes, I do. I mean, he had a hundred of those types of moments back then. Yeah. That didn't make any sense. But he was a totally different man than he is today. I will admit that. And if you go back to the 87, when he was fairly young in 87, he was only in his 70s in 80s.
Starting point is 00:46:21 But he had the whole plagiarism problem. Where he was stealing from, plus he was lying about his background back then. I mean, the guy has lied and cheated his way through everything. And he's never stopped lying about his background. I mean, like, it's another good example. Like, why did they not take more seriously the fact that he continues to make up personal stories about his life and then repeat them after he's been fact checked? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:46 How did that not lead to major New York Times op-edge from the editorial board? And you could understand it if it was just Fox News that reported on it. But, I mean, he's been fact-checked by Politifact, by the Washington Post, by the New York Times. All the liberal publications have said, no, that's not true. You need to stop saying it. Yeah. But he doesn't. Interesting about this is not, hey, this isn't true.
Starting point is 00:47:12 What's interesting about it is a man who looks at all these publications. who has been fact-checked by these publications. They say it's not true. And not only does he not respond to it or justify actually what they got wrong is here, this, this and this. He just keeps saying it as if no one's going to notice. Yeah. That is an indication that he's not with it.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Right? Like that's the type of thing that you should have followed up on. It's a crazy idea. Right. And the Neil Kinnick thing from back in the day, the plagiarism stuff, that is something really fueling what he's doing right now. All the reporting from behind the scenes points to that 1987 situation where he dropped out. His family wanted him to stay in.
Starting point is 00:47:56 He decided to drop out. And he considers it one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Right. Because he shouldn't have folded. He could have put it out. Yep. He's, I'm abiding.
Starting point is 00:48:05 When I get knocked out, I get back up again. You're never going to keep me down. I don't know. Clear back then. That would have been the case. Well, first of all, he's going to lose anyway. Yes. But, like, I mean, he didn't have a chance of winning that race.
Starting point is 00:48:15 and probably it was not a good thing for him to to stay with it probably long term the right move step out people kind of forget about it and that's what happened he became president in the United States and vice president of the United States right so yeah yeah in reality it probably was the right move but he looked back at this time where he should have been tougher he should have pushed through it and didn't and his kids and his family have brought this back up to him in this time do you remember what happened then you don't need to do that and he's Right. I think you're right. He doesn't need to do it. Yeah. There's no, no one can make him drop out of this race outside of himself.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I think the only person who probably could if they took a really strong stance is Barack Obama. I think if Barack Obama came out and said, look, Joe, you need to drop up. If he said that, I think he would. I think that would be the end. I don't know. Do they like each other that much? I don't think they like each other that much. I don't know. But he runs the party. I mean... But we, there is information that Barack Obama, and there's been pretty heavy reporting on this,
Starting point is 00:49:22 that Barack Obama basically encouraged him, yeah, you don't really need to do this, Joe. And there's no real reason you need to run. And he did anyway. And he, well, initially in 2016, he didn't, but then did later. And they apparently had talked leading up to that. And he didn't say, don't run, Joe, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:49:40 But he kind of gave him a very cold version of, Yeah, you know, I mean, I guess you could. You know, it was basically like, I don't know if you're the right guy for this or if this is going to work. Do you remember that, I think it was 2020, that Obama did not endorse him. And he was, and Biden was asked about that. And Biden's response was, I didn't want him to. I didn't want him to endorse me. Wouldn't be fair.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Right. Right. What? I mean, it was that kind of thing. I don't know if he said it wouldn't be fair, but he said he didn't want him to. It was the clearest statement you could possibly. get at that time. This is a man that Barack Obama picked
Starting point is 00:50:17 specifically as basically the second best guy in the nation for this job, right? That is what you are doing when you're picking a vice president. If I die, this person's going to take over. The fact that he wouldn't endorse him was very telling. And
Starting point is 00:50:33 think about what we know now. He probably saw a bunch of these moments behind the scenes and knew he wasn't ready for the president. Clear back then. Yeah. I probably knew that this guy should not be president of the United States. Now, I think the only person, because I will say this, Barack Obama can say all he wants.
Starting point is 00:50:53 If Joe Biden has a spine, he could stay in. He could. The only person I think really would have the, you know, the possibility of forcing him out would be Jill, who does not at all seem to want that to happen. And even then, in theory, he could stay in. Now, if your wife's on your case, most guys fault. but like in theory he's the president of the freaking
Starting point is 00:51:14 United States man it doesn't matter how incoherent he is yeah if you want a 25th amendment him you can but he could stay on the ballot then too
Starting point is 00:51:24 all of this can happen there's really no way to push him out after he's won the primary yeah you know if you wanted if you wanted to do something about this
Starting point is 00:51:35 there was a path to do it and it was having a primary challenge and putting you know, a Gavin Newsom or a, you know, a Josh Shapiro or... Somebody who looks younger and can actually run circles around the guy and have him run circles around him on stage. Yeah. And have debates and have primaries.
Starting point is 00:51:54 But, I mean, think about what they did, Pat. They started off with a sham primary process. They changed all the rules to make it benefit. They reordered the states that Joe Biden lost. Remember this. Like, he lost all these primaries. They just wiped them out. They said, well, we don't want Iowa.
Starting point is 00:52:10 New Hampshire anymore. Now we're starting with the state that Joe Biden won, South Carolina. Gee, what does that do? Right. It immediately says, do not challenge. They twisted arms behind the scenes to make sure he never had a challenger. They canceled state primaries. They booted RFK Jr. out of the party after what, 50 years in it? Yeah. They stole his family from him. They stole his family from him, basically. They also wouldn't give him secret service protection. Right. which put his life at risk. They then tried to get him thrown off the ballot and state after state when he decided to go independent.
Starting point is 00:52:48 They then tried to get Cornell West and Jill Stein thrown off the ballot and state after state. They then tried to get Donald Trump thrown off the ballot with some bizarre constitutional argument. They then tried to throw Donald Trump in prison. And now a very good chunk of the party is saying, well, I know millions of people voted for Joe Biden, but that doesn't count. That's the party of democracy, boys and girls. Those are the people who care about democracy. I mean, what an insane argument to be making when you're doing all of these things.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And I have heard not one freaking word from the mainstream media questioning that series of events. Where are you? You don't notice that being a little weird? The fact that his form of democracy he keeps arguing for only has his name on the ballot? That's not democracy. But they keep saying it over and over again, and no one questions him on it. Very true.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Everything they accuse Donald Trump of, they're already doing. Of course. And especially since the debate, that all he did for 90 minutes was lie. That's all Joe Biden did was lie over and over and over and over again. He lied again yesterday about the Donald Trump suckers and losers line.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Oh, God. On the D-Day invasion. This is the only stuff he has on Donald Trump. Still doing it. The two things. It's the, that and the very fine people on both sides. Right, which has been debunked, even by Snopes now. Yeah, I said that.
Starting point is 00:54:23 And then the fact that he, it was reported in a book, right? And was it Kelly? I can't remember who, I think it was Kelly, who said he made some joke about, you know, these are suckers and losers. he's the guy who got killed and he made some joke about that. I think it was Kelly, his former chief of staff. But like... But as Trump pointed out during the debate,
Starting point is 00:54:45 19 people who were around him at the time have denied that he ever said that. Yep. You got one person saying that he did say it. 19 testifying he didn't. And like, look, even if he did say it, it's blatantly obvious. It's just a stupid comment, like a joke. Right? Like, you know, Donald Trump is a wise ass.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Is it possible he said that behind the scenes? It's not impossible. I mean, he says he, like, it's not impossible that anybody would say that behind the scenes. It's not a real commentary on our military. No one believes that. There's no. And he keeps trying to act as if it was his deep, innermost feelings about the U.S. military. That's stupid.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Come on. It's the same thing that he did with John McCain, right? Like he was like, I like, I like people who don't get captured. Right. Like, it's that same exact line. Yeah. Now, I don't know. Maybe he said.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I doubt it. I kind of doubt it. It doesn't make much sense. It's certainly not a straight policy position. Right? Like, it's just, if anything, it's a little bit of a, you know, tasteless joke. I don't know. Is Donald Trump known for tasteless jokes? It's a tough one. People have already priced that in. The fact that that is their argument, like he brought that one up, he's brought the very fine people on both sides, which again has been debunked. I mean, I've done shows on it, you've done shows on it, Glenn's done shows on it, and even Stopes, has done an entire post on this. He did not say that the Nazis were very fine people.
Starting point is 00:56:11 That's not what he said. He specifically singled them out as not fine people. He specifically, and like there's this level of denial that there's no violence on the left side of these protests. And like, you can go through. Look at the country, not just at that one protest, but just generally speaking across the country, we have seen violent protests from the left constantly. The antifas of the world are, you might think they're not that big of a deal. but they're burning down cities and breaking windows in their little black hoods over and over and over again across the country and have been doing it for years.
Starting point is 00:56:44 This is not made up. Everybody knows. And then, of course, after this, you get into the George Floyd period and all these other things where it's really obvious that what's going on. But at the end of the day, like everyone knows that there are violent people on both sides. Obviously largely on the left, though. It's been more on the left. The Charlottesville situation was an exception to that. And at some level, I don't at all own the people who did the Charlottesville thing as people, members of the right.
Starting point is 00:57:13 They have no consistency policy-wise with anything that I believe. Go through the alt-right view of the world. The I want universal health care. It's not the conservative view. Pro-abortion. Yeah. Right? There's all sorts of elements of that that have nothing to do with conservatism.
Starting point is 00:57:29 They sound much more like liberals to me. Or if you want to go back to, you know, European. National socialism is what they sound like. These are people who might be on the right side of the European scale, but are way to the left of the American right. These are all things you probably know by now. I don't know. But it's just fascinating to watch the manipulation of the facts.
Starting point is 00:57:53 They don't care about telling you the truth. They don't care. They want you to believe lies. And if you believe lies, then you might vote for their guy. If you believe that this guy's real, oh, actually, he's better than he's ever been. He's not only. Cogent.
Starting point is 00:58:07 He's better than he's ever been. If you're going to believe stuff like that, you're dumb. They know you're dumb. They can say anything to you because you're an idiot. If you believe that nonsense, you're so stupid. You can also believe that Bidonomics works. You can also believe that he's this amazing president for three and a half years
Starting point is 00:58:34 and just this what bad day has derailed it. It's all nonsense. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. More coming up in one minute. Next time you're standing somewhere in your home, do something. Have a look around, and I think to yourself, if I wanted to put this home on the market, what would I need to do to get it ready?
Starting point is 00:58:54 It's a big question. And a lot of times the answer is your initial answer when you're having that conversation with yourself is wrong. You probably don't have to redo all the rooms so they look perfect. Actually leave it for someone else to do that work. They're going to want to design it their own way. A real estate agent that you can trust can help you through these decisions
Starting point is 00:59:11 because an agent's going to know the people that he or she trust to get all those things done if you have to get them done and then maybe talk you out of them. That might be the best decision. You save thousands of dollars. They'll just talk you out of those decisions. Glenn believes in this so much because he's seen the difference between what a good and bad real estate agent can do. And he started real estate agents I trust with the best ones in mind,
Starting point is 00:59:33 whether you're planning to move. or have just, you know, just have questions. Check them out. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. The name sort of says it all. This is a free service to you, by the way. Real estate agents.
Starting point is 00:59:42 itrust.com. It's real estate agents. itrust.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. So, we started this discussion with the press and how they've just woken up to the fact that Joe Biden may not be
Starting point is 01:00:06 in peak physical and mental condition. It's pretty amazing. But, KJP was asked if Joe Biden had a script when he called in to MSNBC and the Joe and Mika
Starting point is 01:00:22 Cup of Postum show yesterday. During the call today to MSNBC. Was the president reading off of the script? So I was in the room when the president called into Morning Joe. The president spoke from his heart. The president was very clear. There was no script at all.
Starting point is 01:00:39 And he was very detailed. You heard him say actually, during the call that he was reading some quotes. He said it. He shared that information. He was reading some quotes from the debate. So he shared that with you. What you heard was a passionate interview. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:00:54 18 minutes. He talked about and laid out his vision for this country. He talked about how he wants to make sure we move forward. I want to be really careful because he also talked about the campaign, which I can't do from here. But he
Starting point is 01:01:09 I think it was incredibly powerful. Oh, me too. Incredibly powerful. Again, these people think you're idiots. Anyone who would say that. Yeah. Incredibly powerful. Come on.
Starting point is 01:01:25 By the way, she works for you, America. She doesn't work for Joe Biden. You pay her. Her job is to communicate what is going on in the White House. You only pay her $175,000 a year, though. So that's the good part. That's the good news. And I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:42 somehow she's still able to afford different outfits of high-level designer quality every single day. Never had a repeat. All these years, never had one repeat, which is really strange and interesting. We have a full investigation of that up on YouTube.com slash studo's America in the comedy bits section. You should check that out because it's worth it. But I will say, it's a fascinating development when you're making $175,000. Good money. Not enough money to dress like she dresses.
Starting point is 01:02:08 I'll say that. You know that. That job also includes a wardrobe. I have, you know, I've done, I will say this. I have talked to people who have worked in the White House, in the White House Communications Department, that job does not have a wardrobe budget. Really?
Starting point is 01:02:25 It does not. Now, she could be renting all these clothes. The best actual description I've come up with is that, it's actually Hillary, our own Hillary Kennedy, who was talking about how a lot of people in, you know, the media will go through like, you know, what is it called? Rent the runway type of situation,
Starting point is 01:02:44 where there's a bunch of those types of services where you can go and you pay a fee, a monthly fee, and you can rent a certain amount of outfits. Now, she's just got so many of them. I don't know if there's, but maybe like they loosen the rules for her or maybe she's got some other high-end one.
Starting point is 01:02:58 We don't know about it's possible. That's what's going on. There's no way she could purchase the amount of clothing. Yeah. Well, I mean, even anchors for, you know, Fox News don't they don't spend their own money on their wardrobes. You know, there are a lot, yeah, a lot of them don't.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Many of them don't. But again, this is a public service job. This is not a allowance. But yes, the White House, the press secretary shouldn't. Right. I mean, and it shows so, you know, what I do with my life, the fact that I legitimately have talked to multiple people who've worked inside the White House about this question. And they basically were like, you never get away with that.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Wow. It's just too much of a political issue. Now, if we find out that this has actually happened with Corinne John Vieer, it'll be fascinating to see. But they swore up and down. Swore up and down. That can't happen. It's because all this stuff is public. They said there's a possibility that the Democratic National Committee could pay for it, like as an outside source.
Starting point is 01:04:00 That'd be legal? I mean, yeah, I guess it would be theoretically legal. Because then you're talking campaign funds. right? I mean, that's how I... She just talked about it. I can't talk about the campaign. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:14 So it's, they said it was possible, but unlikely. Highly unlikely, because you could probably massage that in their financial statements as something that wouldn't be picked up. But I guess, you know, they're just worried about the optics of it. Like, you're paying $175,000, but paying $300,000 for clothing budgets. It just doesn't seem possible. That doesn't. No. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:35 There's much more on this. The press gets a lot. little frisky with her. Yeah, coming up. Weather's warming up and I can't wait to get to the ranch this summer, to paint, to roam, cool summer nights with my family, being out by the campfire. I remember when I couldn't do a lot of these things because the altitude created a constant unbearable pain for me. My wife, Tanya, insisted that I tried relief factor. I didn't think it would work for me. It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement. It's supposed to help your body fight pain naturally. I mean, I went to the best doctors in the world and they couldn't help me. I didn't
Starting point is 01:05:15 think this would work. Relief Factory uses a unique formula of natural ingredients. It doesn't just mask the pain. It reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body. Wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joint, muscles. In three weeks or less, you will start to feel the difference all day, every day. I've been taken Relief Factor for years now and it has truly changed my life. ReliefFactor.com. 800. The number four relief. the number four relief. Save on your first order. 800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity,
Starting point is 01:05:50 we're helping you fight back one truth at a time. More Glenn back next. Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. I've been talking about the White House press conference yesterday involving KJP. And a press corps that's actually asking some questions for a change. I mean, some difficult questions and kind of sticking with it and following up a little bit. And got a little bit heated. Here is KJP feeling the heat just a bit from the press.
Starting point is 01:06:43 We provide to all of them. It's a very basic direct question. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. Eight times or at least once in regards to the president specifically. Hold on a second. Not what you should be able to answer by this point. Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Ed, please, a little respect here. So every year around the president's physical examination, he sees a neurologist. That's three times, right? So I am telling you that he has seen a neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I'm telling you that he has seen them three times. That is what I'm sharing with you. Was he examined by him? Did he take a test? he has had to see a neurologist. So that is answering that question. No, it is. You're asking me.
Starting point is 01:07:38 I cannot, but I just, I also said to you, Ed, I also said to you, Ed, I also said to you for security reasons, we cannot share names. We cannot share names. You cannot share names of others he would have met with. We cannot. We can share names in regards to, if someone came here in regards to the president. We cannot share names of specialists broadly. from a dermatologist to a neurologist.
Starting point is 01:08:03 We cannot share names. There are security reasons. We have to, we have to protect. I understand that. I hear you. I hear you. Ed, I hear you. I cannot from here confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I think they would appreciate that too. We have to give them. Sure. We have to keep their privacy. Nobody wants you to know that they're treating the president of the United States. Please keep that quiet. I don't want anybody to know that I'm the neurologist for the president of the United States. Who wants that kept secret?
Starting point is 01:08:37 Come on. Do you buy that they can't say the name of a specialist? Can you say the name of his normal doctor? Yeah, because they have multiple times. I don't know if she said it from the podium. But we know who his main physician is. I bet she has said it from the podium. I bet she has.
Starting point is 01:08:55 What do you mean you can't say the name of a specialist from that? from that position. It's insanity. I mean, it's the same, we're just talking about this. You have to be an idiot to believe these excuses. Obviously, she can say the name. She can't necessarily say, well, actually, he was here to see this person, right? Like, that is a line that you would, might say. Because of hippo laws.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Because of hippo laws. However, in this particular circumstance, what any competent individual would do if her version of events were accurate, was she would go to the person and say, hey, Bob, they all think he's got Parkinson's. We need to, can we please say this? And I assume Bob or whoever it is would say, of course, just to say, you know, say they were visiting me or say, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:48 or give a description of my title or whatever, you know, whatever it is. There's no reason they would need to protect that, especially in this situation with people that supposedly want this president to succeed. And if it was true, and I don't know, I don't know that he's Parkinson's. We don't know that. He might. It would explain a lot of his behavior. And I've had relatives who have Parkinson's. Like, it's pretty consistent with what I've seen and what I think most people who have had family members in that situation have seen. That doesn't mean he has it. It probably,
Starting point is 01:10:21 what it probably means is they thought it was a real possibility, whether it wound up being true or it wound up being something else, they probably were like, crap, is this Parkinson's, we should check this out? Let's bring in the best expert we can find. That's probably what happened here. If they had a good answer, like, you know, I was thinking when it first broke, like maybe they were forming a policy on Parkinson's, right? Like, maybe they were bringing him in as it to advise on policy. That would be a very easy explanation. And again, any competent press secretary would have thought of it. The fact that she didn't shows she shouldn't be employed. But I mean, that's a pretty, like, hey, we were working on the policy.
Starting point is 01:10:57 it had to do with, you know, Obamacare or whatever. We were thinking about tweaking this and that. And we needed someone who really knew what this was, because we're talking about coverage for millions of Americans suffering with something terrible. Like, that would have been a plausible excuse. That's, of course, not what they did. Because, you know, number one, it would have been a lie. That does not mean anything to Corinje Jampier, who lies for a living, poorly.
Starting point is 01:11:22 But they could have come up with something. They just didn't. The idea that they can't say, the thing that they themselves released in the visitor logs is so inherently ridiculous that any moron listening to it would know immediately
Starting point is 01:11:37 it was a lie. And of course it is. Yes. It's an obvious lie. But they think they can just pull the wool over our eyes on all of these issues. But she was asked if Biden will take a cognitive test. There have been
Starting point is 01:11:55 a number of people who have said, Listen, you know, why don't you have a cognitive test just to rule out that there are any issues? Right. With the president, you know, do you, you know, would you counsel him to do that just to sort of put an end? No, no, I hear you. The neurologist has said it is not warranted. The president himself, he said it today, he said it multiple times, and the doctor has said this. Asin.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Everything that he does day in and day out as it relates. to delivering for the American people is a cognitive test. No, it's not. What are we stupid? The medical doctor has said. That is what the special has said. Oh, geez. Why wouldn't you just put this to bed? If the guy's fine, just put it to rest and say, you know what?
Starting point is 01:12:44 Yes, we'll take a cognitive test. We'll release it to the public. It'll be out by next week. And you'll see. Easy, easy, so easy. If the guy's fine, that's what you do, just to put them into ease, Because you want these people to vote for you and they're doubting you right now. There's no reason not to unless you have a cognitive problem.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Right. The answer to all of this is they have more information than we do. Yeah. They know what he's actually like behind the scenes and it's probably debate night every night. You know, I mean, think about... There's no doubt about that. In my mind, there's no doubt of that. No doubt about it. I mean, the reason why they're not scheduling him at things late at night. There's a reason why they protected him. 10 to 4 with an afternoon nap.
Starting point is 01:13:28 I mean, there's a lot of that going on. I will say when you kind of look at like where he is and how far he's fallen and how embarrassing and awful this has been to watch, you think about what they have seen behind the scenes. What is like, oh, it's got to be bad. The one that I keep coming back to is they are risking a constitutional crisis by claiming executive privilege to hide the Robert Her interview audio. There's no reason we supposedly have the accurate transcript of it, supposedly.
Starting point is 01:14:05 But like, why would you, why would you try so hard to make sure people can't hear that? Why would you do that? Because it was so bad. It would end his presidency. It must be. It must be. It must make the debate look good. and how many examples of that are not on tape that we don't know about.
Starting point is 01:14:28 How many times do they walk in there with a sandwich and he doesn't know what to do with it? Like we have no freaking idea what's going on behind the scenes. Yeah. When we have evidence like this. Security Secretary, I'm not sure. She knows so long as I was denied, our freedom can never be secured. after I signed the PAC-A-Pack-A-Pack-A-A-P-P-P-T-A-C-C-C-C-A-C-C-C-T. That's the Billy Joel Act.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Heart attack, Act, yeah, yeah. It's moving out. It's moving out. He's just singing the song. It's part of the moving-out clause. Right. The Constitution. I mean, the guy can't even get the, the blood of liberty.
Starting point is 01:15:12 How much do you hear this phrase? Uh-huh. The blood of liberty. Well, never until then. The blood of liberty? How much to hear this phrase? I've heard the blood of Patriots. The blood of liberty.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Never. Wash a dough. Give me a break. The blood of liberty, wash it, though. Give me a break. A lot of people say the blood of liberty, wash it, though. That's a huge... You don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:34 You're not on TikTok, Pat. I think it's big on TikTok. Okay. Pretty sure that one's big on TikTok. I'll have to look it up. All right, I'll take your word for it. It's just embarrassing. It is.
Starting point is 01:15:43 And these are the examples that we have where he's been in public saying, these kinds of things. In private, outside the window where he's not, you know, at the peak of his performance, I can't even imagine how bad it gets. I can't even imagine. And as stiff as he is, walking around, you know, with all the symptoms that he displays in public, in private, at 8 o'clock at night, it's got to be, it's got to be really, really bad. We would be shocked and horrid. that he's the president of the United States if we had the opportunity to see it. And the American people would just demand the 25th Amendment be invoked. They demand it.
Starting point is 01:16:31 That being said, I hope he stays in the race. Yeah, I know. He still could. Like you've mentioned before, he couldn't stay in the race. Even for the 25th Amendment, which I am probably unlikely, but he could theoretically stay in the race. That is an amendment that technically sort of goes after a temporary, like it's, you know, a temporary leave, right? Like if someone gets like shot and they're in a coma for a day or two and they come out of it.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Yeah. Like that's when you're utilizing that type of thing. You need to have a named, you know, you need to have someone who's actually doing the job, right? Yeah. By the way, new poll out of Wisconsin. This is an AARP poll. Okay. Taken after the bait, Wisconsin, Trump 44, Biden 38, RFK Jr. 9, a six point lead in Wisconsin.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Wow. These are catastrophic polls. By the way, same poll, the Democrat leads in the Senate by five. Isn't that interesting? So the Democratic senator is outperforming the president of the United States. Yeah, by 11 points. By a lot. By a lot.
Starting point is 01:17:33 By 11 freaking points, yeah. In Wisconsin. In Wisconsin. And again. The poll before this, I think Biden was up, wasn't he? In that poll? Yeah. In Wisconsin?
Starting point is 01:17:44 There's a, you know, if you look at the average, it's very close. Is it? Yeah. I mean, you can always find a poll that kind of tells one story another. This might be an outlier. I don't know. I think that, like, the polling so far has told a story of a drop-off since the debate, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Starting point is 01:17:57 I mean, it's about an average change for a debate, a post-debate polling cycle if there's a clear winner, which is not catastrophic. Like, Barack Obama came back in one against Mitt Romney after that first debate. Ronald Reagan came back in one. You supposedly lost by, I mean, 40-point. margin. Most people thought he lost big. He got, he did. And he came back and won that election. Yep. And Ronald Reagan did. You know, like, it's pretty, it's not out of the ordinary that that stuff happens. Though this was, I think, the worst debate performance in the history of our country. So it is something notable. It might be worse. But the polling.
Starting point is 01:18:37 The polling is not moving. He should be down to 10. It should be down to 10%. That seems at least. There's always going to be people. Like I brought up this. Someone said to me like, how can anyone vote for Joe Biden? after this. And I said, like, let's reverse the situation here for a second. Let's say Joe Biden had a great debate. And he just smoked it. And Donald Trump came out there like a bumbling fool and really made an ass of himself. You voting for Joe Biden? No. No. You're probably not, right? Like, you know, you're probably sticking with who you have because you know, even if he gets in there and he is a bumbling fool, the people around him probably hold generally conservative positions. And generally speaking, it's going to be better than the alternative. That's what you're seeing with
Starting point is 01:19:16 Democrats right now. They all know he shouldn't be president. But like their view of this is, okay, well, the other guy we know is terrible. I've seen some good policies I've liked over the past few years. Of course he's not, she should not be president of the United States. But what else did we do? Go with Donald Trump. You know, quote unquote, waste my vote on a third party candidate. Like, that's what people look at. And I think most people in the audience who are Trump supporters, really no matter what Trump did on a debate are still going to vote for the guy. Because you're not, You want the other guy to win? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:48 So I do understand where some of those people are coming from, honestly. But of course, this should have just been decided months ago. They should have had a primary and replaced him with somebody who was competent. Everybody, they just sat in the state of denial for four years and then acted like, well, that decision should work out well in the end. Well, typically doesn't. AAA 727 BECK more coming up.

Starting point is 01:21:59 124, I think, in Palm Springs. I think they're setting some records in the West. Here's the thing, though. it's summertime. What? Yeah, it's summer. So that means global warming? No, that means it gets hot from time to time.
Starting point is 01:22:16 That's kind of what that means. Yeah. In the northern hemisphere, what happens is the tilt of the earth lends itself to being a little bit warmer during that specific time. And then it'll cool off in something called autumn. winter. So you're talking about the SUVs, which are... No, no, actually, no. I'm talking about something called the sun.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Yeah, it's directly bearing down on us. And in Texas, it's about three miles from the surface of Texas. You're talking about that flaming orb in the sky? Yeah, the 2 million degree flaming orb in the sky. Well, how would a 2 million degree flaming orb keep the... be responsible for warming? That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't, doesn't.
Starting point is 01:23:07 We're going to have to talk about this off the air because I just don't understand it. It's too complicated. We'll work together on that and see if we can come up with. It's our air conditioning. That's the problem. The air conditioning is causing the warming because of the emissions.
Starting point is 01:23:20 There you go. Got it. Okay. Right. The Glenn Beck program. Well, something's certainly happening with the media lately. Some in the media are waking up to the fact that
Starting point is 01:24:41 Joe Biden may not be the smartest choice for the upcoming election. We'll get into that and lots more coming up in one minute. Well, remember when hardworking, god-fearing, family-oriented people living in this country shared a little something called American values, when the very idea of contributing to companies that promoted leftist and socialist and communist ideals was ridiculous? Well, those times seem to be behind us now, but they could be in front of us again, especially with companies like Patriot Mobile, We're on the front lines of protecting those American values for the next generation.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative Christian mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

Starting point is 01:26:12 Patriotmobil.com slash Beck. All right. Before we get to Jake Tapper here and what he had to say about Biden yesterday, have you seen this particular statistic that according to the European Climate Service, Copernicus, for the past 13 months, the global temperature has been 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than pre-industrial times. Have you seen that statistic? 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit, warmer than pre-industrial. 2.7.
Starting point is 01:26:52 So, I mean, again, I guess I suppose when you're, did they give a date on the pre-industrial period? Because basically the way this is... I mean, it was very cold before what? Like the 1700s were pretty cold. Yeah, if you go way, way back, you can probably find that to be true. I mean, they would say it's about a degree Celsius over the past century. According to this article, it's one and a half degrees Celsius. Critical marker as the number.
Starting point is 01:27:23 It doesn't matter when you're measuring from, right? I mean, that's the case. Like, they've been using a century as a benchmark for a long time. The problem with that is there was a warming period in the 30s, and they're about to have to run away from that. They're going to have to go to pre-industrial period instead of the last 100 years. Well, they keep revising the 30s temperatures, though. No, that's true. They revise them down so that it looks like it's much hotter now than it was back then.
Starting point is 01:27:48 How are you revising the temperatures that already happened and have been recorded? Well, new science has brought new information. Way more accurate. Way more accurate. A hundred years later than it was at the time. Now you understand. You acted like you didn't understand, but you understood. You understood the whole time.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I got it. This is like the ultimate, Mr. Fix It for every problem you have as a leftist, right? You just, global warming will fix any of your problems. If you want redistribution of wealth, well, global warming can get you there, right? Like any major policy outcome that you want, you can get from global warming. If you want agencies to determine rules and regulations on everyone, so you don't have to pass laws anymore, well, global warming can get you. And like it's easy to say, well, there's an oil spill. And an oil spill means that we have to have a new regulation on that area where the oil spill was.
Starting point is 01:28:43 But you can't make the argument that it affects everyone and you have to overwhelm every state law and every federal law. When you have an invisible gas that can float anywhere, all of a sudden you have that opportunity. If you have a gas that's going to heat everyone's temperature and ruin everyone's lives in the future. You can't necessarily prove it now. But in the future, it catches everything you could possibly want. And that's what makes it such a valuable tool for Democrats, though it's been largely a failure so far. I mean, they've tried to do these things, but largely it hasn't worked. Most people don't see it as a high priority.
Starting point is 01:29:18 According to Copernicus, this is the first time I've heard of Copernicus, I believe, but June was the third hottest month ever. That's not incredibly impressive to me. It's only the third hottest month ever. Okay. As fast as the temperature is supposedly rising and that it keeps getting worse and worse every year. And every year is hotter than the last one. Shouldn't it be breaking records? Shouldn't it be the hottest month ever?
Starting point is 01:29:50 Seems like it should be by now. But this dates back to 1940. So you're again eliminating the 1930s from that calculates. which they have to do in order to make global warming as dire as they try to make it. Yeah. I mean, we have these periods. This is not out of the ordinary. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:13 But it is, you know, it is, you know, a warmer period. And like, that's not, people talk about this. Like, well, the, the, but that's a good thing. You grow food when it's warmer. Oh, yeah. I mean, during the, um, the, um, the, ice age, whatever they called the 16 and 1700s, they grew less food and people starved to death.
Starting point is 01:30:40 And they didn't have enough to eat. We do now because it's warmer and more food grows. Now, if it gets, you know, much hotter than it is now, you don't want the temperature rising three or four degrees Fahrenheit. But right now, it's, it is not catastrophic as they're trying to make it out to be. Yeah, and of course cold is a much worse thing for humans, right? Cold, the number I think is 25 times, 25 times as many people die of cold than they do of extreme heat. That kind of makes sense, right?
Starting point is 01:31:16 Yeah, it's sort of obvious, right? Like it's just what you know about the world. Like heat can be annoying. We live in Texas. It's really, really hot here sometimes. If you, you know, put yourself in a car for many, many hours. You'll probably die. There are different things that can happen to you in the heat.
Starting point is 01:31:31 heat. But generally speaking, the cold is really kind of more of the problem. Far more people die because of cold. Because they freeze to death. That doesn't tell the entire story, but it's really important. It's like a really important part of the story. And it's not even close to true. And of course, when you talk about like climate related deaths, these are down 90, over 99% over the past century. Just 99%? Yeah. It's not 100%. They're not down. There are still some people theoretically die from climate-related deaths. But we've made massive, massive improvements.
Starting point is 01:32:06 99%. That's incredible. It's over 99 now. But especially when you do the ratios of it, like the per capita number is down over 99%. I think the actual number is around 99 for in real numbers. And then if you do per capita, it's over 99%. Those numbers are should be, I mean, I think of it this way. if there is one number you should know
Starting point is 01:32:31 about climate change, it's that one. You can talk about all the other things in the world, whether it's getting warmer, colder, how many people die from this, from that, all these things that could happen in the future,
Starting point is 01:32:40 the one thing you should know is what has been the change in climate-related deaths over the century that you have said the earth is warm so much and as this has become such a problem. And it is net, that number,
Starting point is 01:32:54 while not a controversial number, It's not like there's like, well, actually it's gone up. No one says that. It is a number that is agreed upon. Okay? This is not a controversial number. It has never been in a UN IPCC report. I believe it.
Starting point is 01:33:10 Never been included. The actual number of people who died from the thing you're warning about has never been included in the UN IPCC report. Why? That's incredible. Because it doesn't help their cause. It doesn't help their cause. It's not part of the agenda. What is part of their cause?
Starting point is 01:33:25 They'll just say. because they get much more publicity. They'll talk about tornadoes. They'll talk about hurricanes, which, by the way, aren't up. Neither one of those are happening more frequently than they ever have. No, I mean, in fact, one of the things
Starting point is 01:33:42 they tried to do a long time ago, this has pretty much been abandoned now by the left, but they try to say tornadoes were up by massive percentages. I believe out, I want to say an inconvenient, what was it, Inconvenient Truth. I got that confused with Glenn's
Starting point is 01:33:57 inconvenient book, but Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's book, I believe claim this. If it wasn't that, it was a documentary around the same time. I can't remember which one it was.
Starting point is 01:34:05 But claim that, you know, the big problem was tornadoes are up, you know, a zillion, quadrillion, a million, a million percent.
Starting point is 01:34:11 And, of course, when you look into those numbers, what you find is that we just are better at detecting the lower-scale tornadoes now. We now have detection equipment that sees all the F-1 tornadoes and F2 tornadoes that we didn't necessarily see. Like if it hit your house, you'd
Starting point is 01:34:28 notice it back in 1900. When it was out in a field and no one was around, it wasn't picked up. When you go through the details of the higher, the F4, F5 tornadoes, we've seen no increase. In fact, it's a slight decrease over time as to how many that we've had. And of course, those are the ones that you'd actually notice right back in the day. So you could much more easily comparable. This has been something that has gone on for a long time. And look, it's such a catch-all. It's too important for them to abandon. Because if you abandon global warming,
Starting point is 01:35:01 you abandon a pathway to every single thing you want, including centralized control, right? Like, if everyone's going to die because of what Texas does with their SUVs, we can't let Texas do anything anymore by themselves. We have to control what Texas does. us in Washington. We need to make these important decisions. And it leads you to be able to control everything.
Starting point is 01:35:31 So abandoning it is not something you can do. And they're not going to. And they want to spend the $100 trillion or whatever number is currently in mind to fix the problem. Because that also helps them maintain control. and that's what they seek. While we're here, Pat, talking about global warming, we should mention one of the leading climate skeptics in the Senate for many, many years, Jim Inhoff,
Starting point is 01:36:03 a former senator from Oklahoma, has passed away today. Now, you know, he was, we had him on the show many times. He was a guy who fought for, you know, the ability for people to make their own decisions on these things. You know, he was a friend to our, to energy resources that were under our ground and and was a friend to fossil fuels
Starting point is 01:36:29 and people vilified him for that. But he believed it was a path to freedom and cheaper energy and that really is the path to civilization. Yeah. Because without it, your civilization kind of goes away. So he was a big climate change skeptic. And of course, the media is trashing him.
Starting point is 01:36:50 I mean, this is the headline from Politico of his death. Former Senator Jim Inhoff who called climate change a hoax dead at 89. Oh, geez. Oh, my gosh. I mean, this is also a man whose charitable outreach was incredible. Wow. Was incredible.
Starting point is 01:37:05 This guy worked with people across the globe to save children. I mean, you know, he's been on the show. He's talked about some of the charity work he's done, really only when he was asked. There was never a guy who was bragging about it. But did a lot of really great things. And look, you might not love all of his policies. If you're a Democrat, I get that. But there's no reason to treat him like this as he passes away from a stroke right away on July 4th.
Starting point is 01:37:29 Well, they've made being a skeptic on climate change akin to denying the Holocaust. And so if you ever have any problem with the prevailing theory on climate change, you're a kook, you're a nut and you need to be degraded. and that's what they do to everybody. It's despicable. It really is despicable. All right. AAA 727 BECK. More coming up in a minute.

Starting point is 01:39:36 You know, Jake Tapper, not a big, most people on the right, not a big fan of Jake Tapper. Although, I thought he was fairly a pretty good journalist before, say Donald Trump. During the Obama era, he was
Starting point is 01:39:53 probably the shining star of the mainstream media brigade. Treated both sides. Yeah. About the same. He was the first guy who highlighted the Obama jobs chart. Remember he was saying, oh, we've recovered so quickly. And he was the first person I ever saw who highlighted how slowly that recovery was going and how it compared to past recoveries. Yeah. That was a huge thing leading into 2012 that almost got him kicked out of office, honestly. Yeah. And that was Jake Tapper who initially pointed to that. So he's not, I mean, he does not like
Starting point is 01:40:27 Donald Trump. That is clear. No, that's the thing. And that has, you know, tainted him a bit. Yes, especially for, you know, huge Trump fans. Because it tainted is coverage. Yeah, it has. I think it's true. Yeah. I think of him, Pat, as a good example of what people called Trump derangement syndrome. Yes. Because usually the way people use that is he's just a guy on the left person who hates. But like if the person hated George W. Bush and John McCain and Bob Dole. and Mitt Romney all equally, that's not Trump derangement syndrome. That's just I don't like Republicans. Right. That's not the case I don't think with Tapper.
Starting point is 01:41:05 Yeah, Tapper like singularly really doesn't like Donald Trump, I would say. That would be my take on it. Yes, mine too. So just to give you an idea that, I mean, he does seem to be somewhat reasonable on certain things. Here he is talking about Joe Biden since the debate. and especially his radio interview that he did the other day. Before the president did that, he called into a couple of black radio stations,
Starting point is 01:41:37 where he said, among other things, this. By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, served with a black president. Proud of the first black woman in the Supreme Court, there's just so much that we can do because together we, there's nothing. Look, this is the United States America.
Starting point is 01:42:02 Right. He's proud to be the first black woman. Not coherent. No. And even then, we later found out later from the radio host that the Biden campaign had given her a list of questions to ask President Biden. That is a huge no-no in journalism,
Starting point is 01:42:18 and the host was fired for it, but it remains quite telling that in the Biden campaign's efforts to show that the president has not missed a step, His campaign felt the need to feed questions to the hosts for a call-in radio interview. And the president still, even then, failed to deliver in many of his answers. Yes. Yeah. That's pretty damning.
Starting point is 01:42:39 No, I know. It's true. It's really damning. Yeah. I mean, he actually specifically singled out the I am the first vice president black woman thing. Yeah. Which, again, would not have been highlighted at age. date previous to June 27th, 2024.
Starting point is 01:43:00 It would never, like, we would have pointed it out. We would have laughed about it. We would have noted it. But nobody on the mainstream media. Nobody. In the same article in the New York Times that highlighted, again, the New York Times also highlighted that exact same clip. In the same clip, I may have mentioned this yesterday.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Pretty amazing, really. They also mentioned that he, like another gaffe from Biden when he was trying to prove how sane he was, was that he, called Donald Trump a colleague? Right. Yeah. Is that a gaffe? I mean, they're both politicians. I mean, they're supposedly...
Starting point is 01:43:38 It's a weird word to use, but would we... My question is, would we have even pulled the audio of that? No. It's not even notable. I don't think it's in the top thousand. I didn't pull it. I didn't. So... I don't think it's in the top thousand things he's screwed up. No, that's right. Since he's been in office.
Starting point is 01:43:56 and the New York Times is highlighting it. What? It's amazing. It's amazing. They have completely turned on this guy. And I don't know. As I mentioned today, the first time since the debate, the New York Times has a story that leads their coverage that is not related to getting Joe Biden out of office, at least out of the campaign.
Starting point is 01:44:14 It's about Russia today. And that is, I think, a significant thing. Now, look, there are still stories about people trying to get him out. There are still people trying to gather signatures for letters. maybe they come out with 30 people from the House that say that they signed this letter. I don't know. There was an op-ed again from the New York Times yesterday. The Democratic Party must speak the plain truth to the president.
Starting point is 01:44:37 They're still trying to go down this road. There was a big Wall Street Journal report, how Biden's inner circle worked to keep signs of aging under wraps. I mean, they're still going after this. They're still putting all of their resources into it. But you wonder, has he pushed this off enough that without another cataclysmic? I think he has. He might be able to survive this.
Starting point is 01:44:57 I think he has. Which is fascinating. And I think good for the nation because he's very beatable. You know, he's very, very beatable. And you don't want to change this dynamic if you can help it. Although I will say, the Democratic Party has nobody on the bench who's really formidable. You know?

Starting point is 01:46:50 Pat and Stufer Glenn this week. Triple-A-7-27, B-E-C-K. Still, I understand that you've been showing your daughter, Star Wars. Is this the first time your daughter's ever seen any of the Star Wars movies? That's right. My daughter, Ainslie. Has Zach ever seen? We were watching them together.
Starting point is 01:47:07 Now, when we watched the first one, and no, he's never seen them either. We were watching the first one, which is really the fourth one, a new hope. Yeah. Okay. And we started watching it. The one from 1977. And he was sick, so he was like fading fast. It was sort of late at night.
Starting point is 01:47:21 and it only made it like halfway through. And, you know, it's been a long time since I watched a New Hope. First, like, 45 minutes a little slow. Like, there's not a lot going on really in the first 45 minutes or so. Doesn't Darth Vader appear in the first 45 minutes? I mean, he busts through the door and there. You get that one scene. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:42 There's that one scene at the very beginning. And then it goes to Luke's wondering what his career options are for about 40 minutes. There's not a lot going on there. Like it's pretty slow and he was fading anyway. So he sort of started it and then I wound up watching it with my daughter and then, you know, she got really into it. So now we've watched the first trilogy. Oh, okay. We've got made through the first trilogy.
Starting point is 01:48:02 So a new hope. Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi. Her favorite so far, Empire Strikes Back. Mine too. Mine too. It's my favorite of the entire series. Oh, by far.
Starting point is 01:48:11 It's one of the great. I mean, it's just so good. That one holds up completely. Sure does. I will say I was never a big return of the Jedi fan. Yeah, I remember that. I don't, I just, I, and I watched it again with like, hey, I'm open mind with my daughter and like, and she, you know, did she like the Ewox? Sure. She liked him a lot more than I did when I was a kid. Yeah. And then I do now. But like, again, it's not a, it's not great. It's really not. I think people remember it more fondly because it was part of that original trilogy. And obviously there's some really like, see, but I was like 21 by the time the Ewox showed up. Yeah. So I was not a big fan of the Ewox either. I mean, that's, like, I mean, that's, I was like, a good chunk of the movie.
Starting point is 01:48:51 It's like a bunch of little teddy bears running around on this planet. Right. It's not, that wasn't my cup of tea. Right. She loved it. But there was enough. And it was so cool that Luke was now powerful.
Starting point is 01:49:02 That's what got me through that. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. And I will say like, of the three, to me, it's clearly the weakest,
Starting point is 01:49:09 but it's not the weakest of the series by any means. We get to that later on. I did have a thought of should I show these two are in chronological order? Like, do we start with the prequels? Yeah, no. I don't think she'd even understand it. So we decided not to do that.
Starting point is 01:49:24 But she's really loving it. She's totally in. I mean, she wanted to keep going, even when it was late at night. And it's fascinating to go through them again because I realized, first of all, I love this series. For 40 years, I loved this series watching it. And he realized how much they've ruined it. They've ruined it completely. To the extent now that Pat, I won't watch any of the new stuff, I'm done.
Starting point is 01:49:47 They've lost me completely. You haven't watched, like, I've. Acolyte at all. No. I mean, I think there's now two full series I haven't watched any of. Wasn't there another one after Mandalorian? There's something else in there? Yeah, there's been several, I think, since then.
Starting point is 01:50:01 There was there was a, um, um, Obi-Wan Canobi. Yeah, didn't watch any of that. Didn't watch any of that. Nope. And then was there another one? I think there was another one. I didn't watch that. And I only, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:50:14 There was the, you know, the bounty hunter. What's his face? Oh, yeah. Right. Boba Fett? Yes. Boba Fett. I don't remember what that was called because I didn't really get into that either. Right. And I didn't even finish. And now the latest one, they just really put the finishing touches on ruining it forever for so many Star Wars fans. I mean, here's one of the greatest franchises in the history of film. And everybody wants to love it. Everybody wants to love whatever it is you're putting out. It's pretty hard to wreck it. And yet they manage.
Starting point is 01:50:50 it. It's really sad. Really sad what Disney has done with it since buying it from Lucas. But Lucas ruined it too with the prequels. Yeah. I mean, it's in part his fault as well. Yeah, it's been ruined over and over again. And what really shook me from the entire series was the Gina Carrano thing. Like where like Mandalorian, I was, I was grinding my way through it.
Starting point is 01:51:14 I didn't love it. I didn't think it was great. It was okay. But I felt like I was watching it more like. it was my job. Like, I don't know, for some reason I feel required to watch everything that Star Wars released. Again, you want to love it. I keep thinking I'm going to love it.
Starting point is 01:51:29 And then I never love it. And it's true even with the movies, you go back and you say, okay, well, the first three were great, right? Really two of the three, I think were great. Return of the Jedi was good. It had its moments. True. The prequels had moments, I think, but were like generally pretty bad. The fight scenes were good.
Starting point is 01:51:48 The fight scenes were good. part of it. There was a lot of cool scenes in it, but like generally speaking as a trilogy, everyone knows they're terrible. And then the last, oh my gosh, the last three, I actually am a defender of episode seven, which I thought was basically just a remake of the original episode four. However, I actually kind of liked it and thought it was fine. After that gets really bad.
Starting point is 01:52:12 I'm not in love with it. I just, I never married the new characters. I know a lot of people did. like them. They were okay. You know, it was okay. It wasn't like Luke and Laura and Hans Solo and all of that to me. And then the eighth one was terrible.
Starting point is 01:52:28 Absolutely atrocious. When you've got Luke whining and crying and I'm scared, I'm afraid and I can't leave the planet. Don't hurt me, please. I just want to stay here. Don't make me go. They turned him into his whiny, a liberal as Mark Hamill is in real life. Yes.
Starting point is 01:52:48 Yes, it did. And it was even too whiny for Mark Hamill. He didn't like what they did to Luke. He complained about it. But he said, it's not my characters. And let's be honest, Mark was looking for some acting gigs at that point. It had been a long time.
Starting point is 01:53:02 It had been a long time. He had done a bunch of voice stuff. I'm sure he was doing fine. He did cartoon characters. That's all he did. Yeah, for a very long time. Right. Someone's writing in saying Andor was another series, I guess.
Starting point is 01:53:15 I don't know. I didn't love that. It was, okay. The fact that what they did to Gina Carrano, to remind all of us about this, here is a person who was doing an excellent job, by far the most interesting character in Mandalorian, including Baby Yoda. And she, she posts a picture basically saying, hey, we shouldn't go, we shouldn't, you know, we should not do is make, we should just make sure we don't have another Holocaust. That's like, I feel like something we should make sure. That was basically the concept of the, of the photo with no real, like, it's not like Joe Biden's going to cause one.
Starting point is 01:53:46 it wasn't anything like that. It was just like, hey, like, let's not forget what has happened and make sure we don't go down these roads. Very generic, like nothing. And something that one of her co-stars from the liberal side had done the exact same thing, the exact same thing. And they fired her or not him. And I was like, this isn't, what am I doing?
Starting point is 01:54:07 What am I doing even watching, giving any attention to this nonsense? Why am I watching this? Why am I giving these people money? They're horrible, horrible people. and I and I'm not like a boycott guy at all I just honestly have just lost interest like it's it's so infuriating
Starting point is 01:54:26 and and you get to the point where you have this like emotional connection with a show like that an emotional connection with a movie series where you just almost feel dedicated to it it's like I kind of feel like that with like you know like the office like I don't know most of the time I'll watch almost
Starting point is 01:54:46 anything for the people the office are in just because I love the office. You know, like, you know, Jim from the office makes a new movie. Yeah, I'm probably check it out. Just because I like him, you know. And you had that sort of connection. And at some point you realize, what am I putting myself through? Why am I doing this? And that's where I am with Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:55:03 I can't watch any of it. Yeah. That's sad. I think a lot of people are there now. A lot of people have just given up on it because, you know, it was wrecked. And again, I mean, they had so much goodwill for Star Wars. It's hard to wreck that. Yeah, really hard.
Starting point is 01:55:18 You built up 40 years of goodwill, and it's almost too bad that he brought it back. It might have been better had he just left it alone. Yeah. It's like the three. Just let them lay and let them be. And it would still be considered brilliant. His bank account disagrees, I will say. That's true.
Starting point is 01:55:40 By multiple commas. And he sold it for what? Four billion, I think, to Disney? And I remember when that happened, number one, it's like striking how much money that is. Number two, you realize almost immediately, of course they're going to make their money back on this. That was a deal. And then now you're at the point where like, I don't know, are they losing money on these series? I can't eat.
Starting point is 01:55:59 I know. I don't know. Maybe it's blatantly obvious, but they're putting these things out on Disney Plus. So like, they're just counting this as like their subscribers. But like I feel like they've just destroyed the entire thing. Just like Joe Biden's legacy. You know, he was an incredible public servant for 50. years, Pat.
Starting point is 01:56:16 Everything this man did was gold. Gold. Right. He was basically the savior of our country for a half century. Yeah. And now he got a cold. One cold. Bad night.
Starting point is 01:56:28 Yep. Because of jet lag and a cold. A jet lagged cold. That's the thing. He didn't know it was coming because the cold itself was jet lagged. Damn it. And it's like, it's unfair. This man's had an incredible career.
Starting point is 01:56:41 And it's ruined 52 years of brilliant service to this country. I love that. The guy had a 37% approval rating before the debate. How can you say he's had a great presidency? I mean, certainly, that's not true to 70, almost 70% percent, you know, 63% of the public that either didn't know or think it was terrible. And the overwhelming percentage of people think it was bad.
Starting point is 01:57:08 His disapproval rate right now is 57%. How can you disapprove of, uh, What? Since he took over, inflation is up 23% or something, if you add it all up. Oh, yeah. They like to make the case that, no, no, it's completely out of control. Now, it's only three and a half percent. Yeah. Yeah, but that's on top of 9% at one point. And then three more percent and then three more percent and four percent. I mean, it's gone up a ton since he took over. Who doesn't love that? Everybody loves that. Everyone loves the giant jump.
Starting point is 01:57:46 Everybody loves it when 10 million people you don't know sneak into the country illegally. Everybody loves that. That's great. By the way, can I separate a little ramp but a somewhat related one? Which is another thing I loved as a child, McDonald's. I can't take the freaking McDonald's attacks right now. It's driving me crazy.
Starting point is 01:58:06 There are McDonald's attacks? I bought a $14 big Mac meal. What's wrong with McDonald's? Okay. Number one, McDonald's exist in Joe Biden's America. They deal with the same pressures every other freaking business does. Okay? When I saw this, they're like, you know, they talked about, I saw an interview with the CEO and they're like, well, I mean, we saw this one social media post on TikTok that in Connecticut on the, the highway McDonald's, someone bought a Big Mac meal for $14.
Starting point is 01:58:41 Okay. First of all, a little known fact, I worked at the Highway McDonald's in Connecticut. That was my first job when I was a kid. And everything is triple the price because there's nowhere else to stop. It's just Highway McDonald's. So those McDonald's have always been three times the cost of all the other McDonald's. Then they're like, well, actually, though, even if you just say that's a one-off, the prices are up 20% since 2019.
Starting point is 01:59:10 Yeah! Like every other price and every other thing in the country. Go to the grocery store. Go to the grocery store. Go anywhere. And you will find that same sort of increase. And people act like, I'm sorry, like, if you want cheap food at McDonald's, you can get it. You know, I mean, I go there too often. You know, it's not that crazy. They've got all sorts of deals going on in the app all the time.
Starting point is 01:59:38 Let me see. I got the app open here. Rewards and deals. Look at this. Every day these things are here. Free chicken McNuggets with purchase. 99 cent coffee. $2 any size fries.
Starting point is 01:59:51 A dollar 50 breakfast sandwich. Look. What the hell are these people supposed to do? They're delivering to billions and billions and billions served. Inexensive, delicious, yes, maybe not perfectly healthy food. To people.
Starting point is 02:00:07 And all people do is bitch about it. Don't go if you don't want. want to go. Shut up. Yeah. I'm sick of all the writing about it. You want to blame somebody for McDonald's prices? The freaking invalid in the White House is where you start with that.
Starting point is 02:00:23 Not Ronald McDonald's. Ronald is not president of the United States. You want him in there vote for him. He's not there, unfortunately. He'd be a better clown show than the one we have. I'll tell you that. That's for sure. Triple-8-900 or 727 B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 02:00:40 More coming home. The previous content identified as mildly humorous. Humor fluid. The Glenn Beck Program will be right back. When you were when you were pasted, you were trying to negotiate and do and make sure in trying to negotiate
Starting point is 02:01:07 and make a change. The appellee Negotiate-Titre TD you permit to renouet with this instinct with without operation gratuit, no amount of minimum and no free mensuel. You're made for negotiate. And the TD is there,
Starting point is 02:01:21 for you aid. Abortion has remained the world's leading cause of death for the fifth consecutive year in 2023, despite the overturn of Roe v. Wade, making it the leading cause of death in the world. Tragically, this total is greater than the number of deaths attributed
Starting point is 02:01:39 to the next seven causes of death combined. It's a problem, and Preborn is leading the charge in our nation to turn this around. Every day, Preborn's network of clinics rescues 200 babies. By introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound, the baby's chance of survival doubles. Now, 200 babies are truly miraculous, but preborn's work has only begun and we need to do more together.
Starting point is 02:02:01 By the time I finish this life-saving message, two babies will be aborted in this country. Please join me. One ultrasound is $28, and $140 will offer five babies a chance at life. Just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck. That's preborn.com slash back sponsored by preborn. Pat and Stu for Glenn today, by the way.
Starting point is 02:02:36 You know, you were talking about McDonald's raising their prices because everything's gone up, what, 23%. Although, as a small business owner, I have noticed it's a lot more than that on certain products. It's about triple that on some things like butter and sugar and other products that you need to make, you know, I don't know, like for instance, cookies. Yeah, and you guys at Kexeat cookies use about one third of America's butter in each cookie, which is incredible. As we do. But as a business owner, you have to decide at some point, all right, do I continue to eat this cost? Yep. Or do I raise the price of what I sell so you can make money on it?
Starting point is 02:03:17 Or do you change your recipe slightly? Maybe the cookies are a little smaller. Maybe you don't give as good a value. No. I mean, I know you guys for a long time just ate it completely, which is, by the way, a terrible idea for a business. just so you know. Right. But you've been successful
Starting point is 02:03:30 because people really love the cookies and keep coming back. And right now, you can get 15% off the cookies at Kexe. Very nice. 15% off. Right now. There you go.
Starting point is 02:03:42 But it's true. I think it hits small businesses all the time. It does. And, you know, I mean, does IBM care that the prices have gone up at the grocery store, you know, 25%? Probably not as much as like we do.
Starting point is 02:03:57 So yeah, small businesses are going to be more affected. But eventually it's going to catch up to the places like McDonald's. And they're going to have to decide, all right, do we raise the price of a value meal or do we continue to eat it indefinitely and not make as much money as we once did? You're not going to do that forever, right? It's crazy. We'll see you tomorrow.
