Ignore Your Dwindling Bank Account: Biden Says We Beat Inflation!

Glenn Beck
Now I'm a dog owner. Got a couple dogs. And if you're thinking about the dog food that you're giving your dog, you know, you're probably just a good owner, right? You're trying to keep them.

Keep them in the best health possible.

What is good for your dog? Unfortunately, this brown food that we all give our dogs, it's brown food is dead food. It's, you know, something that has some of the nutrients your dog needs, but not nearly enough. That's why rough greens is there. Owning a dog is a lot of responsibility, and taking care of the basic needs isn't always as simple as it might seem. Glenn has a dog. Uno is getting older. I have a dog. Piper just had a birthday. She's nine, I think now. I mean, you know, man, it's.

Owning a dog is so great, but then also, it gets towards the end of their lives, and it gets very difficult. And to keep that life going with as much energy as possible for as long as possible. So get rough greens, sprinkle it on top of their dog food. They're gonna get everything they need. This is, you know, probiotics, antioxidants, all that stuff. Go to roughgreens.com Beck, 833 glenn 33. It's 833 glenn 33. Greens.com Beck for rough greenshouse.

If I go to survive, stand up straight.

Pat
It's a new day.

Glenn Beck
I turn the light.

Stu
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen program.

Pat
Today with Patton. Stu for Glenn, 88727 Beck is our phone number. This is great news. There's been a Joe Biden sighting.

Yeah, he came out, saw his shadow yesterday, which means six more weeks of his presidency.

Glenn Beck
Really?

Pat
Yeah. Yeah. So, wow.

Glenn Beck
Six full weeks.

Pat
Six full weeks.

Glenn Beck
I'm a little skeptical of that one. You know, there's not a lot of science behind the groundhog thing.

Pat
I feel like.

Well, sure, the site and what he had to say about inflation. Also, really good news. Really good news. We'll get to that in 60 seconds.

Glenn Beck
Let's talk about your cell phone service for a minute. Now, it's probably an uncomfortable subject because you're probably paying way too much. Maybe you have been for a while. And if you really dug into it a little, you might not like some of the things that these major mobile companies are doing with the money you're giving them every month, but you kind of just keep doing the same thing because you don't think you'll find anything cheaper and because you don't want the hassle of finding a new company. To do business with have to be that way. What if switching to a better, cheaper company was incredibly easy? Well, it is with Patriot Mobile. And right now, when you make the switch to Patriot mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. They are America's only christian conservative mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always. That's a heck of a mission statement right there. You don't get that out of Disneyland. Patriotmobile.com beck. Patriotmobile.com beck or call 972 patriot. Get a free month of service today. It's patriotmobile.com beck or call 972 Patriot for Patriot mobile.

Pat
Wait, did you just allege on a commercial that Disney is not glorifying God?

Glenn Beck
Not always.

Pat
Not always.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, most of the time, I think that's their goal.

Pat
Wow.

Glenn Beck
But not always. And that's the difference.

Pat
All right.

Yeah. We spotted the president of the United States of America. It's not Kamala Harris.

Glenn Beck
Did they have to tap three times on the, on the door and then he poked his head out? That's how that works, right?

Pat
That's how it works.

Glenn Beck
Bill Murray was there covering it.

Pat
Exactly, yeah. And this all happened at.

Glenn Beck
Groundhog festival, the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Pat
What was it?

Glenn Beck
Gobbler's knob.

Pat
Gobbler's knob, yes. Right. As many times as I've seen that movie, I should, should have remembered Gobbler's knob.

But here is the president of the United States being asked some questions by reporters. Listen very carefully to what he says about inflation.

Stu
Mister president. Yes, yes, yes. I told you. And have a soft landing. We're going to have a soft landing. My policies are working. Start writing that way. Okay.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yes, sir.

Pat
Yes, we will.

Glenn Beck
That's the structure of our country, right? Where the president tells the reporters what to write.

Pat
Yeah, it's not great, by the way.

Glenn Beck
That is the structure of our country. I'm not joking there. That is actually what happens usually. It happens behind the scenes. Yeah, here it happens right in front of your eyes. That's exactly what happens all the time. Every news story that you read is basically what you just heard.

Pat
It was a little hard to hear what the reporter asked, but he asked him if he's, if the US has beaten inflation.

And the answer was yes. Yes, yes.

I told you we're going to have a soft landing.

My policies are working.

Are they really? Grocery prices are up by 30% or something.

That doesn't seem like it's working to me?

Glenn Beck
Really?

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
In what way?

Pat
Do you have any way that it's way more expensive now than it used to be?

Glenn Beck
And that's bad? Okay.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Okay. I see what you're saying there.

It's a little bit of a leap for me to understand it.

Pat
Well, maybe it's because I own a small business, too, that relies on groceries and ingredients and things like butter and sugar and cream and just the basics. Just the basics.

Glenn Beck
This is, of course, kexy.com is the company you're talking about.

Pat
That's the company that makes really, really good cookies.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat
Really gourmet cookies.

Glenn Beck
And the amount of butter that goes.

Pat
Into these cookies, substantial.

Glenn Beck
Substantial.

Pat
It is substantial.

Glenn Beck
Multiple cows worth in each cookie.

Pat
80 cows per cookie.

Glenn Beck
80 cows worth of butter per cookie.

Pat
Per cookie.

Glenn Beck
But calorie free, which was. I don't know.

Pat
I don't know how we did it. I don't even ask. You'll have to talk to my wife about it. She's really good at it. But, yeah, pretty sure there's almost no calories. I mean, there's not 10,000.

Glenn Beck
No.

Pat
Per cookie.

Glenn Beck
No.

Two cookies. You might hit that number, but not with one.

Pat
Not with one.

Glenn Beck
Not with one.

Pat
Not one.

Glenn Beck
Oh, they're so delicious. Now can we just stop talking about the economy and instead talk about cookies? I'd rather do that.

Pat
Yeah, I would, too. I would, too. It's a much better topic because the inflation is destroying America and this is hitting, you know, lower income people a lot harder than upper income people. So this is really a problem that most people should be concerned with.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I would say, too. And we need to really look back at the history of this a little bit because he's, he's sitting here and he did say they would have a soft landing. That's true. Now, have we had one? I would argue no, but.

Pat
But I think he crashed into the side of a mountain.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
Landing we've had.

Glenn Beck
We hit the ground. He's right about that.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
The soft part of it, I don't know that I would agree with. But remember that this all follows them saying it wasn't gonna happen at all.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
And he had the exact same reaction in front of cameras and behind the scenes. Start writing that way. You know, hey, are you writing that way?

Pat
That is incredible.

Glenn Beck
It's a great illustration as to how this stuff works behind the scenes. They are saying that to reporters every single day. Do you wonder why you get these things coming out? Like, what was the headline I saw? I think it was, I think it was politico that said Trump is now trying to tie Harris to Biden.

Pat
What?

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
And I thought, you know, I thought.

Glenn Beck
Oh, my God, you know, there's a Biden Harris administration.

She said they were a team working together on all these issues this entire time, and now it's Biden trying to, or Trump trying to tie Biden to Harris. And how does that headline happen?

I think a lot of people think, well, there's this liberal who's trying to make this argument in on behalf of Harris. And that, of course, does happen. But much more likely is the fact that someone from Harris's campaign went to a reporter and told them to write this. And they said yes, because that's the way they want this frame.

So they hear these things and they, and this is why before inflation really started picking up, when people were saying, I think inflation might happen if we pass the inflation or the American Rescue act, that's a lot of money we're just throwing out the window. And we're already past the situation where the pandemic is already gone. And we already had these supply chain issues starting to pop up right now. If we dump a bunch of money into this economy, we're going to have massive inflation. And that came from hardcore conservative sources like Larry Summers, who worked in the Obama administration, and Jason Furman, who worked in the Obama administration. And then it happened. Right, but the whole time before it happened, they said it wasn't going to happen. You should write that way. And what did the press do? They wrote that way. They told us it wasn't going to happen. And then when it started happening, they said it was transitory. And they went behind the scenes and in front of cameras and said, you know, Jen, Jen Psaki said it a thousand times, hey, you start writing that way, start writing that it's transitory. So they did. They all wrote that it was transitory and then it wasn't.

And this happened throughout. They said over and over. Every time they'd get the slightest drop in inflation as it was rising, they'd say it was over. And they wrote that way. Media did it again. And then we hit the peak and everyone was like, oh, my gosh, this is terrible. We've gone up 20%. And then it started to come down in a percentage of increase. Right. It wasn't that prices came down is that they increased more slowly.

Pat
And, yeah, they weren't going up by 9%. They were going up by 5%, 4%.

Glenn Beck
And when you'd say that, the average person would say, well, my prices are still going up, and they're going up from a much higher level. That's how people felt that. But the White House went to reporters and said, you know, what you should do is say that inflation and prices are coming down right that way. And so they did, and they wrote that way, and they said prices were coming down and inflation was coming down.

Now, we're at the period where they finally got one number that was close to a target of theirs. 2.9% was, I think, the number the other day. So that's the first time they've been able to hit any of their targets. Three years.

And that's still an increase on prices. And importantly, it's an increase on the already high prices. So if you have something that costs $100, it goes up to $133.

And they say, well, prices are up 3%. That doesn't mean it goes back down to $103. It means, like, $135.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And this is happening to people all the time. They have to deal with it. You have to deal with it as a small business owner.

And the argument from everybody in the press is the argument that the White House wants them to have. It's right that way. That is the entire media structure right now. Write that way. This is the way we want you to write it. So write it that way.

And that's what they're doing.

Pat
And they've complied the entire time. And then he acts like they're so tough on him.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
Oh, like, what are they supposed to write? They've been writing the whole time that inflation is down, that it's coming down at an incredible rate and that it's not, not 9% anymore and that inflation has been lowered by bidenomics. And they've been. That's how they've written the whole time. And it's still not good enough for him. Still not good enough.

Glenn Beck
It's incredible. I saw a story today that said they framed some story. I can't remember exactly what it was, but the summary was, they have to be, the New York Times has to be careful or they will be accused of pro Trump media bias. It's like, pro Trump media bias. They've been basically running an inspirational video on to get this guy assassinated for four years. And they almost, it almost worked.

And, like, we have to worry about pro Trump bias.

It's insanity.

I mean, there's, you can certainly find people who like Donald Trump in this country. About half the country really loves the guy. And the people on conservative media, obviously, you can find positive coverage. But in the, in mainstream media, you cannot find positive coverage with this guy. Every single, every single thing that he does is horrible. Going to ruin the country and has been that way. And I said four years. But of course, I'm, I'm not thinking back to the first election. It's been a decade almost of this, of nonstop hatred for the guy publicly.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And we're supposed to now worry about pro Trump bias. It's insane. While Kamala Harris is in the afterglow of one of the most amazing launches of all time, wherever she, she is not required to give us any of her policies. She's not required to do any interviews. She's not required to do any press conferences. She's not even required to announce her own flip flops. That just comes behind the scenes once again from the campaign who says, hey, media, right this way.

And it works somehow. And yet we're worried about pro Trump media bias, a big problem in this country path.

Pat
Well, they've hidden her agenda for ever. Well, ever since she became the nominee, they've, they've played along with hiding everything she stands for and the fact that she's supposedly flip flopped on certain items. I don't really think she has flip flopped on her incredible progressive agenda. I think she's just trying to hide it until such time as she could implement it because she can't be elected the way with an agenda like hers because she is so extreme on so many different things.

Glenn Beck
It's a good point.

And we did a show last night on Studios America, more Kamala flip flops, which was the second in a series, which is every time we try to finish it, there's more. And you're right, they're not flip flops in the sense of her actually changing her opinion. That's not what's occurring here.

Pat
No. Right.

Glenn Beck
What she believed in 2019 was what she really believes.

That is real. The stuff that she's doing now, like no taxes on tips, is a really blatant example of it. But she obviously doesn't believe this.

She just, she got internal polling that showed it's a really popular proposal and now she's adopting it like that's it. It is a flip flop in her public facing policy.

However, it's not really what she believes. She's not going to get into office and fight for that. You're insane if you believe that. If you were in Nevada and you're sitting there going, wow, now both candidates believe this. No, they don't.

Pat
No.

Glenn Beck
I guarantee you Kamala Harris will not spend 1 minute trying to pass that policy if she is elected?

Pat
Absolutely not.

Glenn Beck
Of course not. In fact, Democrats are basically, have basically said they don't want this policy to go through. They were critical of Donald Trump and all of them said what a bad policy it was and how much money it was going to cost and we can't give any more tax cuts and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They did this whole thing when they thought it was Trump's policy. They're all zipping their lips now and they're all going behind the scenes to reporters and saying, hey, write this way, that we actually didn't oppose it for the past few months, few months since Trump announced it. But, like, that's not a real policy. It's not a real policy that she's going to be hard on the border. Those aren't real policy switches. Those are public facing policy switches.

Pat
They have to be because she can't get elected as radical as she is.

Glenn Beck
Right?

Pat
I hope that's a good point.

Glenn Beck
She might be able to be. Yeah, maybe.

Pat
No, because we've gone off the deep end, but we'll see triple 8727 Beck. More coming up in one hit.

Glenn Beck
What if I told you if it's not, it's only possible to get rid of that pain you've been carrying around for so long, but that you could actually potentially go back to feeling the way you used to. Do you remember those days back when you didn't have to check with your body before everything that you did just to make sure it wasn't going to betray you? Glenn used to suffer from horrible pain all the time, and he had to go through his daily routine feeling like somebody who, you know, had his hands run over by a steamroller. He was. I mean, you remember this, Pat? He was complaining about it constantly. And, you know, you think he complains a lot on the air? Oh, my God, you should see off the air.

But he was able to get his life back with the help of relief factor. It's 100% drug free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. Developed by doctors, it uses a unique formula of natural ingredients that is set up to address the inflammation in your body, which is where the pain starts.

You can fight pain naturally with relief factor. 10 seconds. Station ID.

Pat
Kamala wants every American to understand her agenda.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.

Pat
Yeah, she does.

Glenn Beck
She's like, telepathically. How are we supposed to.

Pat
Yeah. Cause she's not answering any questions. No, you're just supposed to know. Don't you just know?

Don't you just feel it from her?

Glenn Beck
You know, I don't vibe that she.

Pat
Gives off, you know, that she's fantastic and you're gonna love it. Whatever it is, you're gonna love it. Her campaign spokesperson told MSNBC's Morning Joe that they're on a two track process. Okay, check this out. Cut five.

Glenn Beck
We run a two track process, one that makes sure that everyone, every american and every voter understands vice president's agenda.

Pat
Oh, isn't that interesting?

Glenn Beck
Is that the first track or that's both tracks?

Pat
I don't. The two track process. One that every american understands our agenda, which you haven't explained it at all. So how could we?

Glenn Beck
Right. And I would, I would actually argue and correct me if you think I'm wrong on this, Matt, but they actually do run a two track process.

They're running one track, which is to the american people saying actually, all the popular positions on the issues you think I'm terrible on. Those are the ones I have.

Pat
Yes.

Glenn Beck
Trust me. I'm really good on the border. Trust me. I'm harsh on crime. Trust me. You know, I'm going to stop inflation. Trust me. Tax cuts for. All right. And then the second track, which is the real one, which is what she did in 2019. And you notice that because she's not saying these things. She's not pissing off her base. She is flip flopping from liberal issues to more, at least moderate ones. Right? Oh, I'm gonna be good on the border. We're gonna keep this, this. But this border cracked down in place.

We're gonna. No tax on tips. All that stuff is going on.

Pat
The crackdown that allowed 10 million people to cross illegally. Huge crackdown.

Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh, man. Huge crackdown. Could have been 50 million.

Pat
It could have, but it wasn't.

Glenn Beck
And I think it was probably more closer to 20. Yeah, but it wasn't 50. We don't think it might have been 50.

It wasn't 500 million, though, that we know.

Pat
Not every person in Mexico and Central and South America emptied out of those countries.

Glenn Beck
Right. Like, if you go to Chile right now, there's still people there.

Pat
There's still people.

Glenn Beck
And they're not here yet. I mean, they probably will be soon. But they're not.

Pat
But they're not yet.

Glenn Beck
They're not yet. They're still residents of Chile.

Pat
It's been a tough crackdown.

Glenn Beck
It has been. And this idea that, you know, they're tough on all these things and suddenly have found themselves in the position after three and a half years of doing nothing to all of a sudden find the popular position on the border is not real. So. And that's part of the charm of being able to leak these things through your campaign officials because your base never hears you say them. They don't. You know, your base never has you on record saying, well, actually, we don't want illegal immigrants here.

Instead, they have her on record saying the opposite. And we, as the american people are just supposed to believe the more popular thing. So that is a two track process. Maybe she's right on that. I doubt that's where that interview went and she explained it that way, but that would be accurate.

Pat
It is stunning, though, to me that, that they've been able to, you know, get away with this so far. I mean, it looks like people are liking her better than they did before. Yeah. I mean, this has worked so far.

Glenn Beck
It's been a positive, it's been a good launch and not because she's done anything to deserve it.

Pat
It's just not a single thing.

Glenn Beck
Right. It's been one of those things where she's just been handed this by the media, and that is frustrating. But also, I mean, I don't know, maybe there's a couple of cracks.

Have you, like, have you.

We'll come back on the other side with a clip from CNN where they're starting to ask some questions.

Pat
This the Jim Acosta?

Glenn Beck
Yeah, Acosta. Yeah, that's right. And again, Jim Acosta is a close, close friend of all things liberal. Right? Like, he loves, he adores and he.

Pat
Hates Donald Trump's guts.

Glenn Beck
Oh, my God.

Pat
Hates him.

Stu
Yes.

Pat
Maybe more so than anybody else in the media.

Glenn Beck
Right, right.

Pat
Even Jake Tapper. I mean.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah, he hates. I think he does. I think he hates him more. And he built his entire Persona on the idea that he hates Donald Trump, and yet he had a Kamala Harris spokesperson on yesterday. And even he's like, all right, come on, palpable, give us something. Yeah, like he wants the frustration to defend you. Right?

Pat
He does.

Glenn Beck
To be there to defend you. He wants to be able to say, well, that's not true. She did that one press conference where we, she asked, where I asked her a bunch of tough questions, even if they were very easy questions. They want to have some argument to bring to the people, but they don't.

Pat
And that's really pissing them off because you won't answer any questions by them that you're not allowing them to do the job they think they should be doing. And that's defending you.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Right. So, and they're hitting the wall on that. And that is, I don't think they can run out the clock till November, can they?

Pat
I just can't believe that. But I hope not.

Glenn Beck
Maybe that's the country we live in.

Pat
Triple 8727 Beck. It's Patton Stouffer, Glender.

Stu
Stand up, Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck
Well, tragically, we face an active evil when it comes to the subject of abortion. We who value human life are asked no longer to accept safe, legal and rare. We're asked to accept shout your abortion.

But miracles do happen every single day. And sometimes they happen in ways that seem normal but aren't. Consider this because of people like you. Every single day the Ministry of Preborn is helping to rescue 200 babies from being aborted. And you can't tell me that's not a miracle. That is a miracle. Preborn is the largest pro life organization in the country, and they are leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion. Every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mother sees her unborn child on that monitor or when she hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. Your donation of dollar 28 sponsors one ultrasound. How many babies can you save? Please donate. Just dial pound 250 and say the key word, baby.

The keyword is baby, or you go to preborn.com beck. Preborn.com Beck, sponsored by preborn.

Pat
Glen's new book, Chasing Embers is out now. Get it at glenn beck.com or wherever books are sold.

Stu for Glenn Today, triple A, 727 Beck, you were talking about the Jim Acosta interview with one of the campaign spokespeople for Kamala. Pretty interesting. Yeah, because I think even CNN is getting a bit frustrated now.

Glenn Beck
And it's important to understand why they're getting frustrated. By the way, Jeff Fisher of chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher joins us. Welcome, Jeffy. You know, it's important to understand why Acosta is angry here. He's angry because he's making Acosta's job. The campaign is making Acosta's job difficult. And the job he sees as his job is making Kamala Harris win.

Stu
Yeah, it affects him.

Glenn Beck
It affects him. He has to go out there. It's a hard, it's not one of these arguments that Donald Trump is making, this crazy conspiracy theory argument. It's obvious she really is not taking questions. She really is not running a normal campaign. Yeah.

Stu
No way.

Glenn Beck
She really is avoiding the media in any possibility.

Pat
And she really is making them work for their multimillion dollar salary.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
Yeah. They have to try a little bit harder than they normally do.

Stu
Her mouthpiece.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
And they want to be her mouthpiece. Yes.

Stu
Give us something, anything.

Glenn Beck
Help me. Help you. It's the old Tom Cruise thing. It's like, help me. I'm trying to help you. Help me. We help you.

Stu
It's amazing to me that she hasn't had one interview, just one. She could lay the groundwork. I can't believe she could make a call right now, today and say, hey, you know, I want this person and this network, and these are the questions and these are my answers. And I want full editorial process at the end. Can we do that? In 15 minutes? The trucks would be out in front of the wall.

Glenn Beck
Do you know what Rachel Maddow would say to that? She'd say, what plane should I be on to get there?

Stu
We could be there.

Glenn Beck
Where do you need me to be to make that happen? Exactly. They would, they would approve of that in a second. We remember this with Biden. Remember Biden after he was having, he had the bad debate, they were talking about him maybe dropping out.

Stu
All right.

Glenn Beck
And he had those campaign, he had those events with, he did a couple of radio interviews and all were terrible. They were terrible.

Stu
But they were all scripted.

Glenn Beck
But they were all scripted. He knew what all the questions were in advance. And eventually they admitted that these poor radio hosts got fired for it, which is like, should this be more of a campaign issue, an american issue, than these poor radio hosts? But they went along with it. They wanted to have the president on, so they went along with it. And I think that's where we are with Kamala Harris now. Right? Like where she, I mean, she could go on with Rachel Maddow and every question will be, how did you get to be so awesome? Like, there's not, she doesn't even need to do an interview with somebody difficult. That's going to ask a tough question.

Stu
And she's too scared to do that. I don't know if it's the campaign or her. I mean, she's terrible, right? And she can't do anything comfortable. You know, we were talking this morning.

I'm Pat Gray unleashed that.

If she were to go on the view, that's too comfortable. You know, I know that it's all friendly, but she would get the cackling and they'd be, you know, be the girls club. And she can't really do that. Cause that makes it even more of a nightmare of her just cackling.

Pat
Pretty telling, though, that she won't even do that. Yeah, that's pretty amazing.

Glenn Beck
That's true. I think the view is an interesting one because the problem with the view is the hosts are really dumb.

Stu
Well, Kamala's. I don't know if you know this. She's not the brightest bulb in the.

Glenn Beck
Box, but they don't know what lines to walk to, not ruin her campaign. They're too stupid to understand they shouldn't ask about Medicare for all or something. Right. Like, they might just blow.

Pat
I think that's a great thing to all Americans.

Glenn Beck
Now, Rachel Maddow also thinks that, but she's smart enough to know it would hurt her campaign, so she wouldn't ask about it. Right. Like, there is. It's a little bit of an uncontrolled environment. It's like you're just going into a room of, you know, babbling morons, and they might just say something that, you know, hurts you.

Pat
That should be the name of the show.

Stu
In fact, the babbling morons.

Glenn Beck
It would be more descriptive.

Pat
Yeah, it would be more descriptive.

Stu
Would it still be under the ABC news banner?

Glenn Beck
Right. Yes. Which is incredible.

Pat
The babbling moronse of the coven, it could be called. That would be great.

Glenn Beck
It's a little long.

Just call it the coven. Just call it the coven. We'll know they're babbling morons when they start speaking.

Let's listen to this Jim Acosta clip. This is with some campaign spokesperson I've never seen before. But the bottom line is, listen to Acosta and listen to his approach here, because this is not an approach where he's like, I demand an interview. It's not that at all. It's very friendly. Listen, would it kill you guys to.

Stu
Have a press conference?

Glenn Beck
Why isn't she had a press conference?

Listen, the vice president and governor walls have been busy crisscrossing this country since.

Stu
The launch of this campaign and adding.

Glenn Beck
Governor walls to the ticket. You saw the ways in which they went across the battleground states last week, generating rallies of thousands, 10,000 here, 15,000 there.

But, Michael, you know, a campaign rally is not a press cardinal, do you mind if I cut in? I mean, campaign rallies on a press conference? Why isn't she at a press conference? She's the vice president. She can handle the questions.

Stu
Why not do it?

Pat
No, she can't.

Glenn Beck
That's. We absolutely are going to do it. You hear her take questions.

She said last week, we're going to be having a sit down interview here before the end of the month. What she's going to be focused on, it's not what she said is communicating directly with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. That's why she commits to a press conference this week, this past week. That's why we're doing a bus tour in Pennsylvania. We head into Chicago and it's why we'll sit down for an interview before the end of the month to make sure that we can conversation about the vision that Kamala Harris has for where she wants to take this country. In the contrast that we're going to have with Donald Trump, we're going to have opportunities to do that throughout the. Michael, the one interview by the end.

Stu
Of the month, I don't want to.

Glenn Beck
You know, belabor this, but one before.

Stu
The end of the month.

Glenn Beck
I mean, that's, that's not a lot. I mean, can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month?

Pat
No. No, we can't.

Glenn Beck
We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election. And that is going to be a complete with rallies, with sit down interviews, with press conferences.

Pat
I love this.

Glenn Beck
All the digital assets that we have at our disposal. The digital assets. They're going to tweet a lot for you. Yeah, that's going to happen.

Pat
Wow.

Stu
TikTok some instagram.

Glenn Beck
Amazing. Now, was there a big demand that they weren't doing enough crisscrossing? Was that a thing?

Stu
That is their line.

Glenn Beck
That is their line crisscrossing the United States. What does that have to do with the question? Who cares what geographical patterns you're going in?

Stu
Because we're talking to the american people. We're out there talking to the american people.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, you're talking to the american people without any questions coming from the american people. It's not like she's doing town halls.

Even if she was skipping interviews and press conferences, if she was doing town halls and you got some unscripted questions that came in and put her in difficult situations, maybe you could excuse it a little bit.

Stu
And when are the town halls not scripted?

Glenn Beck
Right. They're always scripted when it comes to the Democrats. Now with Trump, he's always getting crazy questions. He just goes, yeah, that's an amazing clip. Because Acosta, I mean, he's almost apologizing for asking the question.

I'm so sorry. I gotta bring this up.

Pat
I know it's embroiled, but, like, it is. Do a press conference. Just do one.

Glenn Beck
Make my life a little easier and just do a press conference so I can say that to everybody. How many, like, that's still gonna report that she's great. Yeah, I know. It's like, it really is the plea, like, we're still going to cover for you. Don't you understand that? Give us a press conference. The questions won't be hard. We're the ones asking them. You're going to pick the people asking the questions. Just pick us and we'll ask good questions, easy ones. Hey, I mean, I got.

Pat
We'll even submit the questions like we always do ahead of time. And you can think about it.

Stu
We don't even get the questions that you send us. Right. We don't have to submit anything. Just tell us what we need.

Glenn Beck
Right. We'll ask you whatever you want, but you, we have to be able to have some argument to go back to the american people with. That's all he wants, and that's it.

Pat
And the fact that she can't do that and hasn't done that yet, crisscrossing the nation so busily, I love that. It's really telling. It shows how bad a candidate is. And this is why she lost so quickly when she ran in the first place in 2019.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
She was the first one out. She didn't even make it to the primary. She was so bad.

Glenn Beck
Didn't even make it to Iowa. And she did have a couple moments there. I mean, she was up in 13, 14% in the polls, which was good enough for second or third at one point after, you know, she had that one debate where she called Joe Biden a racist. And that worked pretty well. People really believed that. And he, they should. They are right on that.

Pat
Yes, he is.

Glenn Beck
But I thought that that is, you know, it's interesting, though, and let me ask you this.

From a campaign management perspective, aren't they doing the right thing? Like, if you, if your goal right now was to get Kamala Harris into the White House, which I know it is not, but if it was, would you change anything about this approach right now?

Pat
Probably not.

Glenn Beck
No.

Pat
I think the less the better. I think less is more.

Stu
I mean, that's the, that's the. They just flipped Joe Biden in his basement.

Pat
It worked for him. In 2020, it worked for him.

Glenn Beck
It's working for her.

She's gone from a 30 something percent approval rating. She's now leading the race in a lot of these polls, she's totally, at the very least, has removed all of the debate, post debate sink.

She has depression, canyon of Joe Biden. At the very least.

Pat
I think she's got the dementia issue.

Glenn Beck
She doesn't have that.

Pat
That was a big thing.

Glenn Beck
She wipes that off the table.

Stu
But she does have the dumb issue.

Pat
She does.

Glenn Beck
She does. But this is what I'm saying.

They're not showing that part of her.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
Like what? What? The part. The part of Kamala Harris comes out.

Stu
She comes out at her little. When she criss, when she's crisscrossing America, she comes out and reads the same script and stick to it. You can tell she works hard, man. No laughing. No, it's serious. She doesn't know how to handle the protesters. She just wants to read her script and walk away.

Pat
Yep.

Glenn Beck
And she seems to, because I can criticize her intelligence like anybody else, but she seems to be smart enough to realize America won't like her if she speaks too much.

Stu
Well, they already prove it.

Glenn Beck
They prove it. And she. But, like, it's a hard lesson to learn, right? It was a hard lesson for Biden to learn. When people kept saying he was too old. He kept denying it and denying it and denying it. Just watch me over and over and over again. And we did, and he lost.

She's smart enough to look at this and say, I tried this last time. People did not enjoy me very much as a vice president. I came out and spoke from time to time and was the most, the least popular vice president in american history. People don't like me. So, I mean, in some ways, you give them credit from a strategy perspective of understanding that, like, they have a candidate people don't like. And the more you can hide her, the better. And until the press gets that level and more all over the place demanding this happens, it's not going to happen.

Stu
I'm surprised her press is starting to get mad. They should.

If you look at it like that, like they're doing it on purpose. This is her deal, other than just wanting her to shut up and not make a mistake. But the press on her side, they should be, you know, get their morning facts saying, look, she's not going to do any interviews, okay? Quit asking her to do interviews. Blame it. Blame it on the conservative reporters.

Glenn Beck
Yep.

Stu
Because she doesn't. The conservative reporters are just gonna, they're gonna twist everything she says into lies. And that's why she's not gonna do these interviews.

Glenn Beck
Blame it on racism, blame it on sexism. Come up with some reason why she's not doing it and just keep writing it out. And the only thing that will change that is, like, massive public and media demand. I mean, think about it. Think about it from the, the republican primary perspective. Donald Trump didn't do any of the debates. Why he was winning.

Why would he do them?

And there were, there were calls for him to come do the debate. Hey, get in front. Donald Trump's not going to have, he's good at debates. He's obviously had, he had the most historic debate victory in american history against Joe Biden. Right? He could do debates. He might have lost. You know, I know a lot of DeSantis supporters were like, hey, what the heck? Get him out here. And there was a decent amount of people saying that, but there wasn't an overwhelming demand. The race never got close enough for him to justify it. And as long as she continues to be rising in the polls, why the hell would she change anything?

Stu
She's already anointed.

Glenn Beck
Yes, she's been anointed by the media. They won't, they won't demand anything out of her. That's about as harsh. That Acosta clip is about as good as it's been able to get from his conversation with some completely unknown campaign.

Pat
Spokesperson where he sort, never seen that guy before.

Glenn Beck
I've never seen him before. And he sort of kind of asks in a way of like how you'd ask your best friend one, dude, you gotta show up to the gym.

I got this membership. You gotta show up with me every once in a while. It's like that.

Pat
It is.

Glenn Beck
You know, it's like you told me you were gonna, we're gonna get a membership, we're gonna work out together. And you never show up. You gotta wait. Would it kill you to show up one Tuesday?

Stu
Yeah, can't do that.

Glenn Beck
Can't do that. Sorry.

Stu
Not coming to the gym.

Glenn Beck
Right? That's all that was. Yeah, it was like best friends saying, hey, you keep telling, I keep going to the, to the corporate, you know, happy hour, and you never show up. Would it kill you to show up one time and kiss a little butt to the boss?

Pat
Triple 8727 beck. More coming up.

Glenn Beck
Amazing. Right now there are scammers pretending to be the Department of Education, stealing information and money from people while pretending to forgive their student loans. Now, I will say the Department of Education is already stealing money from you, but they admit it. Now it's getting to the point where you really can't tell where cybercriminals end and legitimate members of the government even begin.

And I can think of no better reason to get lifelocked. Wasn't there a story yesterday that all Social Security numbers were stolen?

Stu
Don't worry about it.

Pat
All of them.

Stu
It's fine. Everything's hacked, every american, all your information. Don't worry about it, huh? It's fine.

Glenn Beck
Might be a good day to go get lifelocked.

Stu
Yeah, it might be.

Glenn Beck
Might be.

Stu
In fact, that's what they said.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
You should take care of you.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. That's basically what they said, which is incredible. It's easy to help protect yourself with live lock. Join now and save up to 40% on your first with the promo code. Beck 1800 lifelock or head to lifelock.com dot. The promo code is Beck. Get 40% off@lifelock.com. dot.

Stu
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.

Pat
Pat and stuff for Glenn today. Hey, and Jeffy joins us.

We had Lee Greenwood on my show this morning.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Pat Gray unleashed.

Stu
On.

Pat
Pat Gray unleashed on.

Glenn Beck
Pat Gray unleashed.

Pat
Thank you so much. And it loves you.

Glenn Beck
Really.

Pat
Yeah.

So he is the same age. Almost exactly the same age. He's about a month older than Joe Biden.

They're both 81 years old.

But in dog years, Biden's like 356. And Lee Greenwood's about 50.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat
I mean, the guy is sharp as can be, an active and spry and, you know, you still see the life emanating from him and you still have.

Stu
A conversation and he can actually have train of thought stop.

Pat
He can actually go into another thought, say words.

It's kind of amazing.

And it's fine. I understand things happen to people when you age and something has happened to Joe Biden, but he's still occupying the White House.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I forget about that. We were just talking about, I was like, oh, wait, he is still president, isn't he?

Stu
They didn't get rid of him.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
I mean, they're getting rid of him.

Stu
Made him go away from the campaign. I know.

Glenn Beck
And they're getting rid of him, obviously, in January at the very latest.

Stu
I thought that he'd already be gone, to be honest.

Pat
Are you speculating that that might happen sooner?

Glenn Beck
Let's just say there's a situation where Kamala is down by five points. Like, let's say they had this little boomlet here with the Kamala launch and then Trump takes control of this again and it starts to look like it did back in around the debate.

If that were to happen, I think they might say, hey, it's October 9.

Pat
You're almost there.

Glenn Beck
You're almost there.

Pat
Step down.

Glenn Beck
You step down and we'll put Kamala in. We'll give her the big first black president, first female president.

Case scenario, if we lose, we at least will always be able to say that the Democrats are the one that put the first black woman president in. And also, you know, you promised Joe. Hey, as soon as the election's over, I'll pardon Hunter Biden. Maybe he just goes, never let that happen, Doctor Jill. Doctor Jill stops it.

Stu
Jill will never let that happen.

The Glenn Beck program, you know, your.

Glenn Beck

Stu
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pat
With Pat and Stu and Jeffy today. Joining us as well, we're going to talk about the economic policies of Kamala, which are so good, man. It's been, it's been a while since we've been a marxist nation. And so I think we're all looking forward to a little more marxism entering into things. We'll get into that in 60 seconds.

Glenn Beck
Look, we're not here to tell you what to do with your life or how to vote or how to raise your kids. You know what kind of job you should have. We're not going to do anything like that. But we are going to tell you what pillow you should sleep on. That is our business.

Pat
Okay, so Kamala is going to announce her economic agenda today.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
Is that possible?

Glenn Beck
A big chunk of it. Now, this is not her very original idea of not taxing tips. She came up. She's already announced that part of it that is a central part of her belief system.

Pat
Always has been. Always has been from the beginning until.

Glenn Beck
Trump stole it from her. Yeah, a couple of months ago.

Pat
And it's weird that he announced it before she did when, you know, he got it from her.

Glenn Beck
I think there are spies. I think Trump has spies inside Kamala's campaign.

Pat
Interesting.

Glenn Beck
And that is what's happening.

That's the only thing that could possibly explain.

I played the, the other day, I played the clip of Trump from his convention speech explaining his, how he came up with this policy. And it's like, so Donald Trump, it's incredible. Like. Cause, you know, most of these guys, you know, they shop it through, you know, white paper at a think tank.

Now, he's like, I was at the restaurant at Trump Tower, and I was talking to this waitress, and she was like, ah, these taxes. He said, what about these? What if he didn't have taxes on tips. And she was like, yeah, that's, like, the whole story.

Stu
What's wrong with that? That's America. That's a whole.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, that's America. I mean, it is kind of incredible.

Stu
That's why I like Donald Trump right there.

Glenn Beck
You know, that story is true. I actually. We stayed at the Trump Tower when I was out in Vegas, you know, in February, and there's only one restaurant there. There's one restaurant on the ground floor. It's like, it's. It's a different hotel than a lot of those, you know, big resorts there. It doesn't have a casino in it, for example. Like, it's all. It's like a little. He said it was on the strip. It's near the strip. It's right. You know, it's like. It's a little bit of a walk to get to the strip, but, like, you know, they have those huge, you know, the Aria and MGM and the Wynn. This are massive hotels with, like, dozens and dozens of restaurants. There's only one restaurant in that Trump building. Like, we need to send a report. We sent a reporter there to just talk to the.

Stu
It's probably the best restaurant on.

Glenn Beck
It had some damn good breakfast. I will tell you. It's had some damn good breakfast. But, I mean, it would be interesting to have a reporter go in there and just talk to them, the waitresses, because one of them is definitely the person. Yeah, one of them is the person who he talked to at breakfast and just was like, hey, you know, do you mind if I, you know, just. What about no taxes on tips? All right, now, both parties agree, like.

Stu
Started with ground zero. Right there.

Glenn Beck
Right there. Can you imagine what the internal polling is saying on that policy for Kamala to embarrassingly have to adopt it and.

Pat
85, 90% gotta be against.

Glenn Beck
You could come look, I think there's real arguments to lower taxes on people.

The tips thing, it's a little arbitrary. Like, the people in the back of the house making the food don't get the tax cut, but the people in the front, it's a little arbitrary from an economic perspective. I'd rather just have it be a broad based tax cut. But again, that's not sexy.

Pat
And hopefully it'll be that, too. I mean, you could do both.

Stu
Sure.

Pat
You sure could.

Certainly not going to. She's going to raise taxes on everybody, including corporations, to 35%.

And the other thing she wanted to do was raise capital gains taxes to income tax rate.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.

Pat
Wait, okay, so since I've already paid the initial tax on that. Now I get to pay the same tax on the double tax, too. Oh, that's great.

I love that. I love that.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
It's a disaster for America. The good disaster.

Glenn Beck
The good thing, though, she's not going to raise taxes on anyone who's making less than $400,000 a year. And that is the important thing you need to remember.

The only thing you need to remember about now, of course, even if that were true, which it is not, still, those people who are making less than $400,000 have to pay the prices, after all, for inflation.

You've been taxed one way or another. It's a matter of whether you recognize that she is going to make a big speech today about lowering inflation. And she's had, unfortunately, no control over this for multiple years. It's not like she's been in the White House. She's had no influence on policy. She's got nothing to do with Joe Biden.

Nothing to do with this failed president who's one of the greatest presidents of all time. It should go on Mount Rushmore.

Pat
But also failed.

Glenn Beck
But also failed. So he had to change all of his policies.

Stu
Yes, we did.

Glenn Beck
How does anybody fall for this?

Pat
I agree. He should go on the Mount Rushmore president, though. The worst of all time. The worst president of all time. Mount Rushmore.

Glenn Beck
He'd be on there.

Pat
He would be front and center.

Glenn Beck
We're putting Woodrow Wilson on there. Obviously.

Pat
Obviously.

Glenn Beck
And that's a reason you have to understand, it's a legal requirement for us.

Pat
To include Woodrow Wilson. Conversation about presidency must be very prominent.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat
But you've also got to have LBJ.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yes. I'm glad you brought him up.

Pat
A lot of people ignore him to be on that.

Glenn Beck
On there. For me, 100%. Biden's on there. That's three.

Pat
If I have to, I'll carve his face into it myself. Okay.

I've got a little extra time. And between like, eleven in the morning and 03:00 the next morning, I got some time to be carving.

Stu
Chiseled away.

Pat
Chisel away at the stone. Yeah. But then I got to be here for show prep and that kind of thing. But then I'm going back to tizzling. So you got, you got Biden, you got Woodrow Wilson, LBJ. Who would be the fourth and then the fourth.

Stu
I don't know. You gotta have Biden. It's a tough one.

Pat
It's a tough one. Cause you got FDR to consider.

Stu
That's who I was thinking.

Pat
You've got Jimmy Carter.

Glenn Beck
I was gonna say Carter. That's a good one.

Pat
You've got Barack Obama.

Glenn Beck
Gotta include him.

Stu
Thing is, Jimmy Carter still loved America, I think.

I believe Jimmy Carter still loved America.

Pat
That's probably true. He was terrible.

Stu
Yeah, he was terrible. But I believe he still.

Pat
I think he was a patriot.

Stu
Yeah, I do, too.

Glenn Beck
And his was a problem of incompetence more than anything else. I mean, he had bad ideas, too, but he was really bad at just bad at just managing them and doing the job where, like, Woodrow Wilson was pretty good at doing the job when he didn't have a stroke.

He was pretty good at doing the job. He just.

Stu
What?

Glenn Beck
The things he was doing hurt the country a lot. I mean, you can make that argument maybe with Barack Obama as well.

I think you could partially make that argument with Joe Biden. I mean, I think if you look at Joe Biden's presidency from a liberal perspective, pretty good, right? I mean.

Pat
Oh, from a liberal, yes.

Glenn Beck
Like, if you're a hardcore progressive wanting to turn this country towards socialism.

Pat
Yes, he's done that. Yes, he has done a lot to destroy it.

Glenn Beck
I would argue that I don't want the country turned towards socialism. I think he's a terrible, terrible president. But in the same way you'd look at Woodrow Wilson and say, okay, well, I mean, I don't think the results of his presidency were good, but you could still say he turned the country away from a direction of freedom, toward one of control by the central government.

Pat
And he made those arguments overtly, and so did FDR.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, FDR is a. I mean, there's probably, like, you know, those 18 hundreds guys I lose, I lose track of mostly. But, I mean, you can certainly go.

Pat
Back to some recency bias.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, for sure. And, you know, you go back, you basically have the founders and recent guys. That's. That's the way, like, people like John Tyler just sitting there like, who the hell is that?

Pat
Wait a minute. What about James Buchanan? He's gonna be on there. He's gonna be in there.

Glenn Beck
Probably would be in that conversation to be probably on the Mount Rushmore of bad presidents. But, like, I don't know, it just feels like you're being lazy easy.

Pat
James Buchanan knows, right. It's too long ago. We recovered from it.

These guys have.

Stu
We though?

Pat
A little bit. We did and then. And then we didn't, and then we did again. And then we've come out of slump.

Stu
We're still paying for Jackson's mistakes. Right?

Glenn Beck
Jackson's another one. Glenn would certainly bring up and Jackson.

Pat
Jackson.

Glenn Beck
If he, if he were here.

Pat
Yes, he would.

Glenn Beck
There's a lot of names that could go on there, but it's hard to, it's hard for me to knock any of those other three off.

I think between Biden, Woodrow Wilson and LBJ, like, I am locked in on those. I've already chiseled.

Pat
Me, too.

Glenn Beck
I don't know who that fourth one's going to be.

Stu
You're going to put a little candle with like six or seven little heads on it.

Pat
Yeah. Yeah. I think you got to go. Barack Obama, frankly, the guy who fundamentally transformed the United States of America and set it up for Biden to finish the job again.

Glenn Beck
I wonder if they get to pay.

Stu
For it by putting him on it, because they'd think, oh, my gosh, we're honoring a barack.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, that's true. I will say, I wonder if we're recency biased too much by putting the last two democratic presidents on there, which is. But Biden just seems, I mean, like.

Pat
But look what's happened to America since then.

Glenn Beck
It took.

Pat
Since the two of them.

Glenn Beck
How long did it take Obama to go from, well, I can't just do anything on the board. I can't just make these people citizens, you know, dacaeh, what eventually became DACA. He denied that for about six years.

Pat
He did.

Glenn Beck
Before he actually did it. If my memory is correct, it took him a long time to break the constitution to do it. He tried to convince people in Congress to do it. Biden did like, ten of those things in three years.

Pat
Yeah, he did.

Glenn Beck
Between student loans and eviction moratoriums. I mean, we could go through the.

Pat
Whole list, but you could make the argument that a lot of that was as a result of Obama's.

Stu
Yeah, the groundwork was laid.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And that's the same argument you'd make with Wilson, to be fair. And, like, you look at Wilson stuff and you'd be like, that's tame compared to what they're doing today. But he, he opened up the possibilities of those things occurring.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
You know, same thing with LBJ in some ways. Like, he passed programs that wound up growing into the thing that has destroyed our economy. And honestly, he's probably more responsible for inflation than anything that Biden did. I mean, the LBJ programs have grown so big, they've taken over our entire budget.

Pat
And then, weirdly, LBJ, who was maybe one of the biggest racists ever to hold office of the president, I mean, I was given credit for helping black people.

Stu
Yes. I don't even know how to get around. He gets it both ways because he.

Pat
Signed into law the Civil Rights Act. I guess. I guess he also. Why they give you credit. He opposed it for years leading up to that. And then when the pressure got to be such that he could no longer resist. Yes, he did finally, reluctantly sign it. But you can't give him that.

Glenn Beck
But he is one of the most racially important presidents that constantly used the N word. Think people necessarily understand that he's super, super positive on racial equality? Plus the constant use of the N word in private and talking down to black employees and not even treating them as human beings. But what a racially important president that LBJ was.

Stu
So he's up on the treasure.

Pat
He's there.

Glenn Beck
He's there. I just thought that fourth one is interesting. I think Obama's up there. FDR is up there.

Stu
Carter, you're somewhere going against Joe Biden.

Glenn Beck
Oh, Biden's on. I think Biden's there. Yeah, we got, this is a rare combination of wanting to overturn our entire system of government, which has been a bunch of presidents, a bunch of presidents been that. But combining that with real legitimate incompetence. I mean, something like the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Pat
Oh, man.

Glenn Beck
Doesn't even get talked about anymore. But it is the largest foreign affairs failure of any president in my lifetime, for sure. And maybe of all time.

Pat
You know, and this is a great time to bring it up.

Stu
Yes.

Pat
Because the Taliban just showed off all of the equipment, the $80 billion worth of equipment and weapons we left behind.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. We have some of this footage. And this is just, if you're watching.

Pat
If you're not watching american equipment being created by the talented.

Glenn Beck
I had read this story and not seen the pictures. This is not a parade.

Stu
No, it is not.

Pat
Look at the helicopters.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
We just.

Pat
Apache helicopters. That one after another.

Then you got this guy babbling gibberish. We don't, we don't know what he's saying, but might be a language.

Glenn Beck
We're not sure.

Stu
It's an ad for a car wash, something. We don't know.

Pat
We don't know.

Stu
We don't know.

Glenn Beck
There are discounts.

Pat
It's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing. It's humiliating. And that's why they do it, obviously, of course.

Glenn Beck
And so what is Kamala Harris going to do? Which, by the way, I should point out to people because there's a lot of confusion on this.

She is in the administration right now. She's the vice president of the United States. Currently, she has been the deciding vote on every single one of these policies. In fact, she's more times than ever, right, more deciding votes than any person in history.

Pat
Interesting.

Glenn Beck
Okay, that's something you should know because there, what I heard today was a Donald Trump campaign trying to tie Harris to Biden.

Pat
Are you kidding?

Glenn Beck
You mean because her name comes after him in the Biden Harris administration?

Pat
Yeah. We're the ones that tie.

Glenn Beck
We're the one that did that to him. He picked her as the vice president of the United States and the party picked her as the president without getting her getting any votes. So yes, they can be tied together.

Stu
I still can't, I can't get past that.

Glenn Beck
It is incredible.

Stu
It's amazing to me. I thought for sure, I mean, nobody liked her.

Glenn Beck
No one liked even in the media. And her own staff, I mean, they were trashing her. And including Joe Biden, who allowed a lot of this to happen. The Biden people allowed her to be trashed in the media over and over and over again because they didn't like her and they wanted to show that she's doing nothing. She was a do nothing vice president and they kept to that lie or that line until the lie was more necessary, which was, she's great. She's wonderful. She's Rosa Parks. She's whoever she is today. So that's where we are now. She's going to come out with this big economic speech today. We should get to that because we did get a little sidetracked.

Pat
More coming up in 1 minute.

Glenn Beck
You think people notice we got sidetracked there at all?

I would also like to know if you want to give us a call. 88727 Beck. Who, who are, who's on your Mount Rushmore of terrible presidents?

Stu
Terrible president.

Glenn Beck
I mean, you agree with us on those three. The three that we kind of locked in on were Biden, LBJ and Woodrow Wilson. Do you need, who's your fourth? And maybe you think we're wrong on some of those. Give us your nominations. 888727 B E C K is the phone number. As if everything you have to deal with these days weren't enough, how about the nights when you also can't fall asleep?

Station ID Vice President Kamala Harris will call for a federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries.

Pat
Oh my gosh.

Glenn Beck
In a speech laying out her economic agenda on Friday. So that's actually coming tomorrow.

Pat
Besides, what is gouging and what isn't? Who decides that?

Glenn Beck
I assume it's Kamala.

Pat
I guess it would have to be.

Stu
Damn big grocers or she'll appoint a.

Pat
Commission of some sort, a commission of.

Glenn Beck
Left wing nut jobs to tell us which prices are too high.

Is your arugula too high? As we learned from Barack Obama? It can be. It really can be too high.

This is a speech coming up on Friday, campaign officials said late Wednesday. So again, we're not getting this from her. We're getting this from more campaign officials.

Stu
Right.

Glenn Beck
The plan includes large overlaps with efforts that the Biden administration has pursued for several years to target corporate consolidation and price gouging, including attempts to stoke more competition in the meat industry and the Federal Trade Commission's lawsuit this year that seeks to block the merger of two large grocery retailers, Kroger and Albertson.

Pat
Again, big grocers.

Glenn Beck
Big grocers. And that's what they're going to do. Price controls. Right. They're going to say, you've raised prices too much. Much. And this is their only out. Every other explanation of this problem leads to them. So the only one it could be is corporations during the last three years have discovered greed. Before that, they were just ambivalent, nice people who never thought to try to charge too much for on prices. But then they saw, wait a minute, it's 2022 2021. What if we raised our prices and just sucked in more the people's money on tomatoes?

Stu
I would not be able to say no.

Glenn Beck
So they discovered all of this greed and implemented it during the Harris Biden administration.

Pat
I wish they wouldn't have discovered it.

Glenn Beck
No. It's like fire, you know, it's like the nuclear bomb. Did you see the movie the three hour?

Pat
Yes, yes.

Glenn Beck
What was it called? Why am I not. It was Barbie. Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer. And Oppenheimer. And he create, you know, he created the nuclear bomb. And if he didn't do that, who knows? World would have been much better place, as we learned in the movie here. Same thing. Corporations discovered greed, probably from Donald Trump. They didn't discover it while he was president.

They were looking at Donald Trump and they were like this guy who wrote the art of the deal back in the eighties and has gold apartment buildings.

We can't detect any greed there.

We only have detected in the last couple of years and have decided to just rake these people over the coals. And we're going to do it, by the way, in an administration that's on the left that always complains about it. So instead of trying to do this when Trump was president, tried to get greedy, then when this obviously greedy president would've been fine with it, instead, they've now gone the other direction and only came up with the greed in the last couple of years. So that will be solved.

Stu
I mean, that's what we have to believe.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Yeah, it is, right? Like, it's the only thing that would explain it.

And this is happening as well. Joe Biden, who apparently still the president, still in office, still in office, is now pushing a rent control scheme.

Pat
This is another, like a nationwide rent control thing.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, it is basically a nationwide rent control thing. By the way, if you're interested in how, how economists feel on that, they're not in favor of it.

Stu
Yeah, they probably aren't renters.

Glenn Beck
They actually.

Pat
Have they been to New York? Because it's worked so well there. Look at the low prices in New York that you pay. It's worked really well.

Glenn Beck
It's real really well. What percentage of economists agree with the rent control scheme? Any idea?

Pat
Oh, it's got to be 90 95%.

Glenn Beck
Two.

2% of economists think it's a good idea.

Legitimately. Two, it's 2%.

Lawrence wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greenshouse. He says, I bought my dog many different kinds of supplements over the years. She wouldn't eat very much in general. She just kind of shied away from it. But when it comes to rough greens, not only will she eat it enthusiastically, she will finish by licking the bowl clean. She has more energy now and her coat is nice and soft. Rough Greens is a total treat for her and we're very happy to discover it. Thank you so much. Rough greens isn't a dog food, it's a supplement. You just sprinkle it on top of the dog food. And it was developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. And you know, if you think about it this way, brown food, kind of dead food. So what do you, do you want the greens? You name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens. The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

Patents do with Jeffy today for Glenn. Triple 8727 Beck. Have an update on the economic agenda of Kamala Harris.

Glenn Beck
Well, a couple actually submissions on the Mount Rushmore of terrible presidents.

Pat
Oh, oh, good.

Glenn Beck
Triple 8727 Beck, if you want to call him with yours. Jimmy Carter is the worst president. It should be on the mount rush.

Pat
Ok. Over Barack Obama.

Glenn Beck
Over Barack Obama. Another one says James Buchanan should be the guy.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
And we have this one.

Pat
We can't put him there. He was our first gay president supposedly.

Stu
Yeah, that's right.

Glenn Beck
Oh, really? Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

Pat
We can't do that.

Stu
You didn't know that. Okay.

Glenn Beck
Who should be on the Mount Rushmore of memorializing the absolute worst, most vile, evil America crushing presidents next to Woodrow Wilson, LBJ and FDR. So that's their fourth one.

Pat
You're eliminating Joe Biden or are they.

Glenn Beck
Including, no, they're including Joe Biden.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Joe Biden, LBJ, Woodrow Wilson, FDR.

By the way, that one, I can go with that. That one comes in from Pat unleashed on Twitter.

Apparently you actually did already do this and say LB that FDR was your fourth.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat
Five, though. I think we, I think we did five because I couldn't, I couldn't just do four. There had to be five.

So yes.

Glenn Beck
You can't remember what it was.

Pat
So it was, I think we squeezed.

Stu
Look, when you start chiseling and you're already there.

Pat
Yeah.

Stu
Right.

Glenn Beck
I mean, you have, you said you had a full day between 311 and three, so you can get that done. By the way, the reason why we were talking about the Kamala Harris economic agenda, she's got this big speech coming out.

Price controls and rent control are two of the big proposals that are going to be made now. The chances of these things actually being passed, I would think we're low because there's such catastrophes for.

Pat
Depends on how the election goes, though.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
If it's a big majority, you never know.

Glenn Beck
You never know. If they get all three, all of Congress and the White House, who knows what could happen? But I will say the reason why it's being proposed is simple. As I said, only 2% of economists, economists agree that rent control is a good policy that actually will. The way it's framed is interesting, too. It's not just, is it a good policy?

Stu
It is just 2% help Americans.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Just 2% of economists agreed with the idea that Biden's rent cap proposal would make middle income Americans substantially better off over the next ten years. So that's a really specific thing. It's not like a, some conservative framing it in a way that would be harsh on Biden's proposal. Proposal.

Only 2% of economists agreed, but 73% of voters agreed that they want rent control. Now, of course, people don't like high rent.

Stu
This is the, and more people are renting.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And this is the, people can't afford houses because of the Biden policies. The mortgage rates are so high that people are pushed into this thing. Well, gosh, I need help. Help. And when they need help for the first time, we are living in a country now where they look to the government for it.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
We forever were not. That's unfortunate. And that is a big, big negative. That's been a big problem for our country for many years. And it is showing itself here. And it's like, if you've got a 73% approval rating on a policy, you look at that as a success, whether it's gonna kill the country or not.

Pat
Mm hmm.

Glenn Beck
That's not true.

Stu
One little rent policy isn't gonna kill the country.

Pat
Just stacked on top of all the rest. Could well be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Stu
I mean, they just keep piling it on.

Pat
Yeah.

Stu
I mean, hello. That's the problem.

Pat
After another.

Speaking of which, Disney has another little controversy going because their new Snow White star, Rachel Zegler, she just posted a free Palestine post. And apparently people are going crazy. Oh, it's she at the end of her tweet said, and always remember, free Palestine.

I think we all feel that way, don't we?

Stu
Don't we?

Pat
Free Palestine.

Glenn Beck
Free Palestine.

Pat
Because, you know, that I expected that to happen a little bit more at.

Stu
The Olympics, but I didn't see very much of it.

Pat
I saw, I think there was one.

Stu
Guy I saw in the, in the men's basketball presentation for the medal ceremony.

I saw one guy from France and I don't recall who it was, had the Palestine flag and that was it.

And then we were talking off the air. I don't remember any of the other.

Pat
I think it just happened once.

Stu
I don't remember any of the winners wrapping a flag or holding up a sign or shouting free Palestine into the camera.

Pat
No, I don't remember.

Glenn Beck
Certainly improvement from 1972, for example.

An improvement. I don't know that necessarily the rest of the world is improving on that particular thing. But it was nice to see. There were some nice moments in the Olympics, actually.

Pat
Yeah, there were.

Glenn Beck
I mean, what did you think of it? What did you think of the Britney Greiner thing?

Pat
Because here she cried for the national anthem.

Glenn Beck
Here's someone who took a knee.

Pat
I was moved, frankly.

Glenn Beck
Really?

Pat
It moved me. Yeah, I liked it. I thought that was really kind of cool.

Glenn Beck
Kind of did, too, I need to admit it.

Pat
Did she develop an appreciation for her nation that saved her from a russian prison?

I think so.

Stu
Let's hope so. Yeah.

Pat
I guess a lot of people thought it was insincere.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. I mean, I don't think she was necessarily faking the tears. I don't think she's that kind of actress, per se. But, I mean, I do think that her, the things she likes about America are different than probably the things.

Stu
Yes. And she may have been crying out of, you know, happy happiness that she won the gold medal and how life has turned out. I don't know that she was crying because how great America is, you know.

Glenn Beck
I think you could probably parse that. That's probably accurate. But, I mean, I think if you think about her experience from being in a russian prison to standing on the stage receiving a gold medal in the Olympics, pretty cool. I mean, it's a good moment. And look, at the end of the day, she lives in a country. She lives in a country that actually cares enough to try to get her out, to give up massive terrorists, to get her out of the.

Pat
Yep.

Glenn Beck
You live in a country that will give up mass murderers to get you home.

Pat
And that is.

Glenn Beck
It's a good country that would do something like that. It might not be a smart country, but it is one, I think. Now all russian terrorists are back in russian soil to wind up murdering again over the past couple of weeks of hostage releases.

Pat
But we got a female basketball player back out of it.

Glenn Beck
We did.

Pat
So that was good.

Glenn Beck
And she won the gold medal.

Pat
And she won the gold medal.

Glenn Beck
So I'm a little conflicted on it.

You get to that point where you're.

Stu
That gold medal is the one that now is the men's. That tied us. So we tied it for China and then.

Pat
By 35 in overall medals.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat
So I always get irritated with the websites that place the gold medal winner at number one, regardless of how many overall medals are like that. One gold medal is going to overcome the other 35. No.

Glenn Beck
Well, we have way more people than China, though, so, no, we can't compete.

I like making that point until I start looking at, like, Finland.

Well, let's not look at the population.

Pat
No, don't think about that. Or Australia.

Glenn Beck
Don't think about that. Don't worry about that at all. It only counts between us and China.

Pat
Well, when you think about what China does, you know, where they take kids out of their families at three and four years old and put them in sports academies and raise them there and beat the crap out of them and torture them when they come back home without gold.

Stu
Because that doesn't happen here.

Pat
It's pretty amazing.

Glenn Beck
Well, it doesn't happen here. The parents are doing it here.

Stu
Okay.

Glenn Beck
It's totally different.

Pat
Completely different than the government.

Glenn Beck
First of all, it is. But secondly, also, maybe we should get some of that under control.

But I think it was interesting to watch the Olympics because, I mean, for example, many people will know that I do not. I'm not a fan of LeBron James. And the fact that he was the.

Stu
He was the centerpiece.

Glenn Beck
Come off the entire thought.

Stu
I thought of you the entire time stuff just so, you know, just fear.

Glenn Beck
He's a centerpiece and, you know, like, just, you know, pushed a kid away or whatever he did.

Stu
A white kid.

Glenn Beck
Oh, well, yeah.

Stu
Pushed the white kid away.

Glenn Beck
He did. He was like, you know, get out my face, basically, to some kid trying to get an autograph. Yeah. Really irritating. I mean, he's not. Look, he's not a good guy. I'm not a fan of him at all. But even, like, watching that, with all the LeBron hatred that I have, I still wanted the Americans to win a basketball gold. Medal. Now, that's not the case with soccer, where I want us to lose. I want us to lose every single time, because the more soccer victories we have, the more it will be covered by national media. And I want it to be covered less. Cause I hate soccer. But that's just a separate point. I don't mind if the difference between us losing to China and the Olympics is losing a soccer medal with it. That is. I'm completely okay. I think it's better for the country that we talk about soccer less. So that's just me. That's actually a very patriotic standpoint. You would say, well, why are you rooting against America? Because I want America to be a better place. A better place without soccer. That's why.

Pat
And soccer is a communist sport, so I understand that.

Glenn Beck
That is my stance.

Pat
Yeah. So. But we did win the gold, right? We got the gold in that.

Glenn Beck
I think we did.

Stu
Women's soccer in the women's soccer, in the women's soccer. Not the men's.

Pat
Yeah. Yeah. The men. Did the men even. Did they make it? Did they qualify?

Stu
I don't know if they even qualify their way down.

Pat
I think there was one, there was only one sport we didn't, we didn't compete in, and that was the team handball.

Glenn Beck
What?

Stu
Which we should. We should be great at handball team. Yeah, we should be great at handball.

Pat
I think you'd be a wonderful handball.

Stu
Any sport. Any sport.

Pat
Yes. Because you are athletic.

Stu
Thank you.

Pat
Overweight. So the athletic part of that really comes first. Shining through.

Stu
Thank you. Comes first. Thank you.

Pat
Yeah.

Your tone, it's a cross between lacrosse, soccer and hockey, sort of.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat
The handball thing, it's weird. It's weird.

Glenn Beck
And you're hitting it with your hands.

Pat
You throw it, you throw it.

Glenn Beck
Let's just throw it.

Pat
But you don't have to.

Stu
See, that's the problem. Americans don't know the sport.

Pat
I don't know. That's the problem.

Stu
Americans don't know the sport. If Americans knew the sport, we go, well, we could do that and we do it.

Pat
It's like ping pong. Why aren't we better at ping pong than we are? I mean, I think because everyone who plays dominates.

Glenn Beck
It looks like robots. That's why they hit the ball nine zillion miles an hour. Impossibly. I don't know how anyone could be better than the people who are playing it. It looks impossible.

Pat
It's incredible. And I think that's what we decided as a nation. Nah, China's got it. So I'm not even gonna.

Stu
If I do that, I'm gonna be drinking.

Pat
So. Yeah, but I'm looking forward to Milan already in. In two years.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
I'm not gonna be fine.

Pat
You're not a big Olympics fan?

Glenn Beck
I watched more of it than I would have expected. I was on vacation that week, so I was. It was on tv at night. Every night. We watched, you know, like the Noah Lyles. Right. Yes. That was a fun thing to watch.

Pat
Won the gold in the hundred meters for the first time in 20 years.

Stu
And then it was awesome.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And then came out to the 200 and came in third because he had Covid.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And was competing with COVID Like, how far have we come? They wouldn't let anyone in the stadium last time.

Pat
Hugging the other athletes and breathing on. Everybody activated coughing in people's face. And we're like, ah, don't worry about it. It's just.

Glenn Beck
I mean, when did everyone turn into a conservative on this issue?

Pat
I don't know. Very bizarre.

Glenn Beck
Really amazing. No one was in the stadium last time they did the Olympics.

Stu
Right, right.

Glenn Beck
No one.

Stu
Right. I mean, that's why the numbers were so bad. Right. I mean, they were the Tokyo, the no touching, no breathing, stay away from everybody Olympics.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. And by the way, we should point out that Tim Walz, in case you were wondering, his particular approach to Covid, not only was he one of the biggest shutdown governors, he was doing that in November of 2020. Shutting down all public gatherings in November of 2020. Not March, not April, not Mayenne, November of 2020.

Stu
We played a video the other day on Pac Roundleast. I don't know if you're familiar with the program.

Glenn Beck
I love that show. Freaking love it. Except that one, when you have that one guest on that comes on a couple days a week.

Pat
Oh, God, Jeffy.

Glenn Beck
Yes. That's terrible. But other than that, I love the show.

Stu
I thought I heard the show loved you back, but I could have heard wrong.

We played a video that has been trying to have been scrubbed from the Internet, I'm told. But Tim Walls was sending police and military out to enforce the.

To enforce their lockdowns.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
And so the people to get back on their. In their homes. Oh, here we go.

Glenn Beck
It's a little. I don't think it's much of a distinction. I just want to make it. I think it's a distinction without a difference. But my understanding was it was actually more related to the George Floyd lockdowns. So, like, it wasn't Covid related as much as it was. Okay, our cities are on fire, and. But it doesn't make any difference.

First of all, they're both related, number one. One. And number two, they were still trying to keep people in their houses, and people who were in their houses on their porches were still getting fired at with paintballs. So I don't think it's any better. But I just.

Stu
No, I see what you're saying.

Glenn Beck
It is in that period, in the middle of that period. But he was terrible. I mean, he had the COVID snitching lines. And this has been driving me crazy. And I know we're running late, and I'll go to a break in a second, but, like, what has been driving me crazy is he's the guy with the COVID snitching lines. Tell us what people are, you know, not wearing enough masks.

Pat
Yeah. Hey, my neighbor just left their driveway. They're going somewhere.

Glenn Beck
And every speech he's making right now is, well, what we do is we.

Pat
Mind our own damn business. Right?

Glenn Beck
Oh, do ya? Do you, Tim?

Pat
Unbelievable. All right. Yeah. Take a look at this.

Glenn Beck
This is the actual video?

Pat
Yeah.

Stu
Okay. The curfew. So this curfew was not really Covid. It was the George Floyd.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. It's just a different curfew.

Pat
It was in 2020.

Glenn Beck
It was in May. Right? That was the.

Pat
And we can't hear the. We can't hear the officers, but they're screaming at people to get back in your house, get inside.

Glenn Beck
And then they say, light them up.

Pat
And they're firing paintballs at him. Which hurts, by the way.

I mean, this is insanity.

Stu
How about no sanity?

Pat
All right. Triple 8727.

Glenn Beck

Pat, stew and Jeffy for Glenn today. Triple 8727 Beck.

You know the civil asset forfeiture. You sent me the email of the other day in Indiana. We need to talk about that.

Stu
Oh, man.

Glenn Beck
Incredible, right?

Pat
Outrageous. What's going on here in America. How is this allowed to happen?

Uh, this has been a pack ray Gi for some time now. And, uh, it just keeps getting worse.

Stu
It does.

Glenn Beck
It does.

Stu
Because people, well, they don't do anything.

Pat
They don't care.

Stu
They don't care.

Pat
They don't seem to care that the government can just steal your money for no reason. They don't have to charge you with anything. They don't even have to imply that you've done anything wrong.

Stu
And good luck getting, getting it back.

Pat
Yeah, it's tough. It's really, really hard. Get into that.

Stu
Coming up, the Glenn Beck program.

Pat
Compromise.

Glenn Beck
We gotta get together.

Pat
It's a new day. I turn around.

Stu
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pat
There is a practice that's really common in America. It's called civil asset forfeiture. It is blatant theft by the government, apparently legalized theft, but it's absolutely unconstitutional. But it keeps getting worse. We'll tell you about an incident, well, an ongoing situation in Indiana that is happening right now. That is really hard to believe. Coming up in 1 minute.

Glenn Beck
So what are you truly an expert at? Most of us have at least, I don't know, one or two things. My guy queso, I would say, is one of my expertise. I really understand what good queso is, is with all that in mind, think about what you are an expert at and think about whether it's, you know, buying and selling homes. Probably not. Unless you're a real estate agent who is really, really good at it.

You don't want necessarily to have somebody who's just trying out real estate for the first time, maybe part time. You need somebody who really knows what they're doing. You need someone that has made their life about having expertise in this particular area.

Pat
Makes all the difference in the world.

Glenn Beck
It really does. You just went through it. Yeah.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat
And, and our realtor, I mean, she saved us so much money and then made us money on the sale.

I swear by it now. Really swear by a good realtor.

Glenn Beck
It is a big, big deal, and it's your biggest financial transaction.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
You better do it right. Realestateagentsitrust.com is place to go to find the best agent in your area. Realestateagentsitrust.com this is a free service to you, and the name kind of says it all. Real estate. Real estate. Agentsitrust.com.

Pat
Civil asset forfeiture.

Stu
You know you love it.

Pat
Speaker, one situation in indiana that is outrageous. We've talked about this before where if you're carrying cash and you're pulled over by law enforcement and it's a lot of cash, oftentimes they'll just relieve you of the cash so that you're not burdened by it any longer.

Glenn Beck
Relieving, relieving. I didn't know they got relieved of the cash.

Stu
That's what they do.

Pat
I mean, they'll, they just blatantly take tens of thousands of dollars from people if you have it in cash, and they're, they pull you over for any reason and they find that there's cash on you. It's not illegal to carry cash.

Glenn Beck
No.

Pat
And it's not illegal to carry 10,000 or 20 or $50,000 in cash.

Stu
It just, you can do that.

Pat
It's nothing.

Glenn Beck
And the justification seems to be, basically, it's suspicious that you have that much cash. Therefore we could just take it.

Stu
Right. Right.

Then you have to prove that it's not suspicious. You have to go to them and.

Pat
Prove which is the opposite of our system, correct.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Stu
Correct.

Glenn Beck
It's 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

Stu
It all started with going against the drug kingpins.

Pat
Yes.

Stu
That's what they want.

Pat
Because a lot of times, people who deal in drugs have a lot of cash on them. Right. You sell the drugs.

Glenn Beck
I just think in your direction. Nothing specific. I'm just saying that it does seem that people who handle drugs often do maybe carry around cash. Not really a big credit card business. Right, Jeffy?

Stu
No, it is not that. It's not. It's light in the card for the scadamine.

Pat
There's a case in Utah we talked about a while ago. This happened a few years ago, but the guy was pulled over on a highway in Utah, and he had $490,000 in cash on him or something. I don't know why. It's none of my business why. It's none of the government's business why.

But he had a lot of cash and they took it. They just took it because they suspected. Well, you must be a drug dealer if. And I think it goes beyond that. It's like, we want that cash and we're going to.

Stu
Well, that's where they're at.

Pat
Really nice vehicles.

Stu
That's where they're at now.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. It started out with arguably good intentions. Right?

Pat
Arguably. Still, you can't do.

Glenn Beck
You can't do it, and it's not illegal to carry it. And what a lot of people would say is, well, what was. Let's. In that case, $490,000. Why did he have that much money, as you point out?

Pat
I don't know.

Glenn Beck
Doesn't matter. Yeah, doesn't matter if the person commits another crime, like, there are ways to go get his $490,000, prove he committed a crime, and then you can have it in some cases.

Pat
I think he was saying. I think his excuse was. And he shouldn't have to make an excuse.

Glenn Beck
No.

Pat
Correct. If you don't have any reason to believe that he committed a crime, if you don't have evidence of it, then bug, move on.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, move on.

Pat
But I think he was going to pay cash for a house or something. I don't know the circumstances. And again, who cares?

Glenn Beck
It's not your.

Pat
They never proved. They never charged him with anything.

Glenn Beck
That's the biggest thing. If you charge someone, you could argue, and I don't argue this, but you could argue, if you're charged with a crime, we're going to take your money and hold it. So you can't just go spend it on stuff.

Pat
But we're not going to spend it in the meantime, we're going to hold it until such time as you're found innocent or whatever.

Glenn Beck
And if. And if we find out they're ill gotten gains, then we'll. Then we're gonna take them. We're gonna keep ticket and maybe redistribute it to the people that was stolen from previously or whatever.

But that's not what they do. They don't.

Stu
It isn't.

Glenn Beck
I would argue that you need to convict someone of a crime before you start taking.

Stu
That was the thing behind the drug kingpins, though, is that they would. They would, you know, have evidence that these were drug kingpins, but they had all this cash automobiles, homes that they could, you know, move around and slide around and live here and take this. If they wanted to be able to confiscate that, they sure did. It would hinder the drug kingpin's business.

Glenn Beck
Right. And to be fair, they would charge a drug kingpin with a crime, and they would find ways to rid. They would relieve themselves of the money, or it was. And so they would convict them, and then there would be no money to take. And you know what? That's really hard. And gosh darn it, sometimes things are hard.

Stu
Then people got.

Pat
Used to be hard.

Stu
Then people got upset about how when it started going down the road of just taking people's $10,000, $12,000, 40,000 that they said, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. You're right, man. That is bad. But it's not us. We've got to deal with the federal government now. And so we're taking it, but we're not keeping it. We're giving it to the federal government.

Pat
Well, we're gonna split it with the federal government.

Stu
The federal government has given us a kickback from that, but we're not taking it all, so it's not all on us.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
And so it's really hard to get your money back. This guy, the guy in Utah, took it all the way to the supreme court in Utah, and they ruled in his favor eventually. But I've never.

Stu
I don't know that he got his money back.

Pat
I don't think he's still got money back. Then there's a case. I mean, there's all kinds of these cases all over the country. People stopped at airports with large amounts of money. Cause they're gonna buy trucks when they get to their destination or whatever they're gonna do. Again, it's none of our business. So what? I don't. I don't. It's none of my business. And it's not the government's business why they have cash on hand unless you've got evidence they did something wrong. And even then, you got to get the conviction before you can take the money. So it's crazy.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. And there's so many cases we're going to tell you about this Indiana one in a second. But another one that comes to mind all of a sudden, all the time, when I think of these cases, there's this one guy who was a car. He was a car repair man, and he had, you know, a bunch of tools in Chicago.

He's in Chicago, he's fixing people's cars, and he's working on someone's car who's at his shop. He doesn't have a ride, needs a ride back to his. Wherever he was going. So he goes, yeah, sure, I'll just give you a ride. He takes his car, he puts his tools for his business in the back of his car, starts driving, you know, driving this guy back to his destination. In the meantime, on his way there, he gets pulled over. Can't remember what the reason was. Some traffic violation, I think.

Stu
Likely story.

Glenn Beck
Right?

So they, they ask him to get out of the car. They search him. And the, the passenger, who was just a customer at his shop, has drugs on him. Now, he didn't have drugs on him. They didn't accuse him of having drugs on him. But his passenger, who was just a customer of his, has drugs on him. They take his car and do not even let him get the tools for his business out of the back of his car. So he fought this for years and years and years to get his car back so he could maintain going to work and the tools.

Stu
Tools for his business.

Glenn Beck
For his business. And it took, I don't, I think eventually, after multiple years, it went, wound through the courts and he was able to get his stuff back. But of course, how much his life was, it cost him a fortune and his life was sent back multiple years.

Pat
And you might recognize that, again as the opposite of the way our judicial system works. You're innocent until proven guilty. See, not the other way around.

But that's not how we're operating now. And in Indiana, there's a class action lawsuit where law enforcement is seizing millions of dollars a year from cash from FedEx packages without ever informing owners of what crime they're suspected of violating. So they don't even have to say, hey, we took your money because we think that there's drugs involved. Didn't even tell him that the money's just gone. Yeah, we took it.

Henry and Min Chang, who run a small California jewelry jewelry wholesaler business, alleged in a class action lawsuit in Indiana state court that police seized over $42,000 in cash from a FedEx package and route to them from a client in Virginia county. Prosecutors then filed a lawsuit to forfeit their money through civil asset forfeiture, claiming the Chang's money was connected to a violation of a criminal statute. But they never said what statute was violated.

Stu
Weird.

Pat
It's incredible. So it's incredible.

Stu
I have multiple questions, and this is.

Pat
Going on multiple times to multiple people in Indiana.

Stu
So obviously Indiana has found a way to say, are we just stopping FedEx trucks and randomly having dogs sniff packages. And when they get in, I think.

Pat
That'S happening at the warehouse.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. This is what's crazy about it is they're basically just a allowing these dogs to walk by packages and sniff them.

Pat
And if they hit on it facility.

Glenn Beck
If they, they sniff cash, they pull it out and they take the cash, which just sounds like a great business if you get into it.

Stu
Sure does that. Sure does. I need to get me a cash sniffing dog, I'll tell you that.

Glenn Beck
I know. And you know, a lot of times they justify it and they say, well, the dog smelled cocaine on the cash.

Stu
Yeah. The cash gets a hit of drugs.

Glenn Beck
Of course they do that. What, 90 something percent of cash has some sort of residue that would be illegal on it.

Stu
I know. That's what I say.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
I don't know about they, but I say that.

Glenn Beck
But I mean, it's incomprehensible that you would do it this way. So they're not even looking for a specific person, a specific criminal, a specific crime. They're just sniffing a bunch of packages to try to find cash. And when they find the cash confiscated, they confiscate it.

That is incomprehensible. I mean, if that's accurate, and it is not a suitcase. So we don't, the lawsuit is not complete yet. We don't know the whole story, I suppose, but it is happening all over America and it does seem like FedEx.

Stu
Can'T allow that to happen. I mean, I guess they're saying that it would be for your safety that they have, you know, law enforcement come through to look for bombs or whatever.

Pat
But this particular FedEx hub is massive. It's the second largest in the country. It processes up to 99,000 items an hour.

Stu
Wow.

Pat
So almost 100,000 items are processed through here an hour. You're going to find cash and probably a good number of items.

Stu
I mean, maybe people just need to stop sending cash.

Maybe that's what needs to happen.

Pat
Maybe it's none of the business of the state of Indiana to decide who sends cash and who doesn't. I know, maybe it's none of their business, but that's what people will say and that's why they're getting away with it. Well, you shouldn't send cash.

Stu
Why are you. Everybody knows cash.

Pat
None of your business why.

That's beside the point. I mean, yes, it's probably advisable to send a check or money order or whatever.

Stu
That can be fascinating to see what all they've taken what all, they've confiscated.

Pat
Tens of millions of dollars.

Stu
Tens of millions of dollars. And how many? I'd like to know the, you know, like if, you know, grandma and Grandpa send their grandkids, you know, $100, they're.

Pat
Not going to bother with that.

Stu
Probably.

Glenn Beck
It's, I assume it's larger amounts than that.

Stu
But if they get a hit on the cash, though, package gets thrown into the confiscation bag.

Pat
Could. It could.

Glenn Beck
And it's just wrong. I mean, even if you are doing it for criminal reasons, it is the requirement of the government to prove you have committed this crime in a court of law before they can just start taking crap from you.

Stu
Right.

Glenn Beck
Like that is even if, even if your answer is actually, you know, the reality is I was, I was going to try to say sell, buy some drugs with it unless they've proved that they can't take your money. But for whatever reason, we've decided as a country that this is okay. It is completely at odds with our system of government and un american. It's completely un american. It is. It seems. It's like you're going back to Czechoslovakia.

Pat
It is.

Glenn Beck
It's not how this is supposed to go.

Stu
No, it is not.

Glenn Beck
A lot of people on the right to support this. I mean, there's a lot because it.

Pat
Donald Trump supports.

Stu
Oh, yes, he did.

Glenn Beck
I haven't heard him talk about it.

Stu
Table of sheriffs and they talked him into, you know, civil asset forfeiture was a great thing. And I'd like to talk. Was helping.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. I can't imagine he even is aware of stuff like this. Honestly, it's not something he's talked about a lot. And obviously he's pro law enforcement. And look, law enforcement makes these arguments, and they are in some ways correct with the arguments, which is it is a heck of a lot easier to throw a drug dealer in prison when you can just do this stuff. Right. It's a. And it is. Yes, it is easier. It is easier. That is not the goal.

The goal is not to make it easier.

Isn't it?

Pat
The easiness quality.

Glenn Beck
The easiest clause is there. It's the 304th amendment to the constitution. We should make everything easy for the government to do.

Joe Biden has been taking advantage of that. I really want student loans and no one will pass it. And so therefore I'll just do it. The easiness clause is used all the time by our government, but it's actually not part of the concept of institution.

Pat
How do you feel about geofencing warrants?

That's another issue that I have with what's going on right now. That's un american. I mean, this is incomprehensible. The things that our government is doing right now, law enforcement wise, are unconstitutional. And a federal appeals court just ruled that geofence warrants are unconstitutional. Now, if they would do the same thing with the civil asset forfeiture, that would be a really good step in the right direction. But the Friday ruling from the US Court of Appeals in the Fifth Circuit, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, found that geofence warrants are categorically prohibited by the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unwarranted searches and seizures. This is where they just take, like, the cell tower and take all the records from, from the cell phone usage in that area. So people that have just passed through that area have made a phone call. They become part of the search.

Well, a lot of these people don't belong in your search. And so that's the problem there, that they're just scooping up everybody in this.

Glenn Beck
Thing that's a general warrant. Specifically, once again, what we were trying to prove in the constitution.

Pat
Exactly. There was a case a while ago that we talked about when it was, when it was just brand new. There was some guy that biked past a house.

This was in the midwest somewhere, but he biked past this house every day and made phone calls while he was biking to whoever. And so the house was eventually robbed, and the resident, who was an elderly woman, was hurt during the robbery.

Stu
Yes.

Pat
And so they went in and did this geofencing warrant and just got the records of everybody who had made phone calls or who had been in that area, and he was one of them. So they were charging him with the crime because circumstantially he was there all the time. He must have been casing them joint. Well, you're making kind of a leap there, because people do jog, people do bicycle, people do make calls in certain areas, and that doesn't mean they've committed a crime in that area.

Glenn Beck
That's true.

Pat
So.

Well, this.

Glenn Beck
And, of course, sometimes you can tell, right? Like, I mean, the. This was essentially the fawny Willis defense, remember, with the guy she was sleeping with, and they had, like, 12,000 calls. And. Oh, yeah, he was over there at, like, 02:00 a.m. 25 times.

I was like, well, they're like, it's a very busy area.

There's a shopping center nearby. Oh, yeah. He was just probably shopping at 02:34 a.m. on a Tuesday.

Pat
Certainly happens all the time.

Glenn Beck
And, like, you know, in those investigations, when you have someone, you can use those records, that's very common with law enforcement. Just collecting everybody who comes by an area is not the way to go. It should not be the way to go.

Stu
Now, you know, the interesting thing about this particular case where the Fifth Circuit ruled that the geofence warrants were unconscious, unconstitutional.

The guy that brought the case. Yeah, he's still guilty because the court said, yeah, the police department acted in good faith.

Glenn Beck
Oh, good.

Stu
That's nice. They didn't even. Real geo fencing was a novel idea back then. The police didn't really know what they were doing.

Glenn Beck
So he won the case, but he lost the case.

Stu
He's still good.

Pat
Unbelievable.

I mean, that is unbelievable.

Glenn Beck
A lot of that stuff going on right now. Yeah, it's just like you keep saying. Glenn keeps saying, like, gosh, I never thought I'd see the day when this happened. And it's like, it just keeps. You keep saying that enough. And, like, I've eliminated out of my vocabulary, the phrase unless something crazy happens, because I've said it so many times and then something crazy always happens. Like, you could say it's a very close race in the presidential race right now, and it probably will be close unless something crazy happens. And then like, like there's an assassination attempt and a presidential candidate drops out and they just implant somebody into the nomination and like, crazy stuff will happen.

Pat
Because they respect democracy so much.

Glenn Beck
That's why they love democracy.

Pat
That's why they just implanted somebody.

Stu
You know, the other thing that we've stopped saying and for, you know, good reason, but when we first all moved to the great state of Texas and this happened in Texas.

Pat
Yeah, I don't say that.

Stu
No one says that anymore.

Pat
Yeah, it does seem like a lot common, way too common to say that anymore. It's sad. It is, but true.

Stu
Really sad.

Pat
I mean, we might be one of the last vestiges of freedom in the country.

Stu
Absolutely.

Pat
It's still freer than many other places, but not like it used to be, that's for sure. All right, triple 8727 Beck. More coming up.

Gears Steve days, Jason Whitlock and me pack, Ray. Not to mention Jeff Fisher. Listen to all your favorite conservative voices, blazetv.com, because of morale.

Glenn Beck
727 Beck. We're going through the details of a story and trying to figure it out exactly. It's a very bizarre one, but we wanted to bring it to your attention because it kind of, I don't know, ties into what we've been talking about this hour. These crazy things that are happening in our country that don't seem possible. Right? They don't seem like in America, we'd have things like this go on, but they seem to be more and more common by the day. So there's a story of, I'm gonna let Jeffy set this up because he's the one with it in front of him. But it's a story about Disney and a lawsuit that's going on right now, which involves a trip to a restaurant and some allergies and one of the craziest arguments you've ever heard. So in October, you gotta turn your microphone on.

Stu
I don't have.

Pat
No, thank you.

Stu
They don't allow me to touch buttons.

Glenn Beck
Understandable. I agree with that. I understand that.

Stu
So in October of 2023, this can oko porn Tang song. Her husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, and Piccolo's mother dined at this irish pub at Disney Springs. And because. And they dined there because they believed that it would have proper safeguards against serving dairy and nuts to Tang son due to her allergies. And they were guaranteed that the food would be made allergen free. They asked the waiter several times. When the food came out, some of the food didn't have the allergen free flags on it.

And they said, hey, it doesn't have the allergen free flags on it. And the waiter said, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Wow.

So that was a problem which put her into anaphylaxic shock, elevated levels of dairy and nuts in her system, and that's what caused her to die.

Glenn Beck
She dies over this. Wow. Now, this, to me, and Jeffy was sort of disagreeing with this air, but this, to me, sounds like one of those instances that they have a pretty freaking good case. Right? Like, they came there, they went to a restaurant specifically to avoid these allergies.

Stu
Made points about it.

Glenn Beck
They made points about it. They brought it up. They came out with the flags. They said, hey, there's no flag in this food. Is this allergen free? And the waiter says, yes. I mean, if that is true, that is. And then the person dies over it.

That is a worthwhile lawsuit, in my, my view.

Stu
Right. Right now, Disney is trying to get out of this.

Glenn Beck
This is what's incredible. I think about this story more than.

Stu
Anything else by saying that Jeffrey Piccolo, the husband, had signed up for one month trial of the streaming service Disney, which required trial users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.

Pat
But is that disputes over Disney plus or is that.

Stu
Well, they're saying the whole thing. Well, they're saying the whole thing.

Pat
That covers everything. Anything related to everything in life.

Stu
Everything in life. They also claim that because Piccolo used the Walt Disney Parks website to buy Epcot center tickets, Disney is shielded from a lawsuit from the estate of Piccolo's deceased wife.

Pat
My gosh.

Glenn Beck
I mean, this is, first of all, disgraceful by Disney, which is, of course, their motto at this point. We will be more disgraceful tomorrow than we were today. That seems to be the way they're going at this point. But I mean, for all the freaking money they bring in to not help a family that you basically murdered at your park because they signed up to Disney plus a few months before.

Stu
I don't even think it was before. I mean, I feel like, I think.

Glenn Beck
It was 2019, I think was the signup, if I'm correct.

Stu
Oh, yes. Yes, that's correct.

Glenn Beck
In 2019, the guide signs up for a one month subscription to Disneyland. Trial. Not even the full subscription, a trial subscription. And they bought tickets and then they bought tickets online.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And you just click on these things. You click. I agree to the terms and conditions. You don't look at them. Nobody does.

Stu
No one does. No one does. You just want, you just want to take the picture with the app on my phone. I don't care what you want me to do. Just let me take the picture.

Glenn Beck
And they put you in that position. And then, of course, you just click. Ok. You click. I agree.

And God only knows what you're agreeing to. There was a documentary that came out, I think it was 2013 or so called terms and conditions may apply. And that's what it was about. All the things that you agree with. Now we know how much worse it is now than it was in 2013. I can't even imagine what the sequel to this would look like. But they highlighted a bunch of different stories like this. And the craziest one, which was kind of just funny, was a company, I think was a software company that put in, by signing up to this, you agree to be launched into space, into the sun, and to be burned crisp like it was this whole thing that was just stuck in there, and every single person clicked. No one called them out on it. Every person agreed. Yeah, I agree.

Stu
To be launched into the sun because we just want to take the picture. I don't want to use the app. I just wanted. I just want it to work.

Glenn Beck
That's all I need. Make it work. Please. Make it work.

Stu
Yes. Take my children.

Take it all. I just want it to work.

Pat
Yes. Yes.

Glenn Beck
And that's where people are.

Pat
I get a seven day free trial out of it.

Stu
It's fine.

Pat
I'm in.

Stu
Fine.

Pat
In. Just do it. I don't care if I have to pay $1,000 a month for the rest of my life. I'm just gonna do it.

Glenn Beck
And this sounds insane, but then you remember that one of the most popular apps in the world is run by the Chinese Communist Party, TikTok. And we're like, yeah, yeah, whatever, yeah.

Pat
But the funny videos spy on me.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah.

Pat
And my nation.

Stu
And we already know how bad that app is. What? Information continues to go back to the head of TikTok.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, the head of TikTok, who's probably definitely keeping separate. Separate. Totally separate. Even though we know it's not separate.

Allegedly. Allegedly, we should point out. But, you know, I really want to see that. That woman, you know, dance.

Stu
I got to buy the bag. I got to buy the bag of rocks. She's stones.

Glenn Beck
That funny dance she's doing and lip syncing at the same time. We got to have that. And we got to have the new, you know, food hack of the day. That's. We got to see that.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
You know, that's really important. So who cares if the chinese government gets more power? What's the problem with that?

Pat
Whatever.

Glenn Beck
No big deal. No big deal. It's a weird. I mean, it is a. It's. It's also goes back to the fact that we just don't trust anybody. Right. Like, yeah, we don't.

Pat
Nor should we. Right.

Stu
Well, we have mega corporations telling us that they screwed up and killed someone, and we're not going to pay you because you signed up for our ad.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat
For Disney plus.

Stu
Sorry, man. We want to give you. We'd love to give you more than $50,000, but says right here we don't have to.

Glenn Beck
Right.

And it's so bizarre because, like, we have this simultaneous. We don't trust. Like, we don't trust the media, we don't trust our elections, we don't trust our government, we don't trust any of our institutions, but we absolutely trust every app that we sign up to that. They're not putting something bad in the terms and conditions. Conditions.

Pat
Right.

Glenn Beck
Like, it's insane. It's insane.

Speaking of the. Of this, there's a new story out from the Wall Street Journal that broke last night that is supposedly the real story of what happened with the Nord stream pipeline.

Pat
Oh. Where they discuss how the United States blew up that pipeline.

Glenn Beck
No, that's. That's not what I got.

Pat
That's not what it says.

Glenn Beck
No. I mean, the US is involved in the story.

Pat
In what way? Just.

Stu
We didn't.

Pat
We didn't do it, though.

Glenn Beck
No. In fact, not only did we, even.

Pat
Though Joe Biden said we were going.

Glenn Beck
Do it, he did say that.

Pat
He did basically say that Russia invades.

Stu
That means tanks or troops crossing the border again. Then there will be.

There will be no longer a norse team, too.

Pat
We will bring it into it. You'll bring it into it. Wait.

Glenn Beck
How will you do that?

Pat
I love that question.

How will you do that?

Glenn Beck
Exactly?

Pat
Exactly.

Glenn Beck
Since the project and control of the.

Stu
Within Germany's control, we will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it. Oh, okay.

Pat
Huh. And then it was done. It was done, but we didn't do it.

Coincidence.

What an amazing coincidence. That is what happened. So what happened?

Glenn Beck
So what?

Pat
So what happened was, is this the Serbians again?

Glenn Beck
No. Serbs.

Pat
That wasn't the Serbs.

Glenn Beck
No, it is Croats.

Pat
How about the Croats? Is that who did this? Actually, here's what I will say about the Bosnians. The story is the Herzegovinians.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
Well, maybe the Houthis.

Pat
The inegatavinians.

Stu
The hooties.

Pat
Oh, the hooties.

Stu
The hooties. Yeah, the hooties and the blowfishes. They did it.

Glenn Beck
The hooties and the blowfishes.

Stu
Yeah, they both did.

Pat
It sounds terrible right now.

Glenn Beck
So what I will say about this story, it is absolutely unbelievable. And so that can go two ways. It can be, when you say, sometimes you say a story is unbelievable, that just means it's amazing. Right? Incredibly amazing story. It could be that, or it also could be absolutely unbelievable, as if you should not believe it in any way. It's one of the two.

Pat
All right, you make the call.

Glenn Beck
But basically what happened was a yde. A bunch of people went out to a bar. This is true. This is really what they're saying happened. A bunch of people went out to a bar.

Pat
Who are these people?

Glenn Beck
Some of them.

Pat
Where are they from?

Glenn Beck
They're ukrainian. Some of them were ukrainian citizens. Some of them were military members of Ukraine.

And they were around a bar. They got hammered. They started talking about what they should do because they just got invaded by Russia. And they said, you know what we should do is we should blow up that pipeline because all this money is going back to Russia all the time. That's wrong. Obviously. They just invaded us. We need to stop them from getting all the money.

Pat
Bastards.

Glenn Beck
So what if we severed the pipeline?

Pat
Oh, and that's easy to do. Anybody could do that.

Stu
Well, just hanging out at a bar, drinking, you just hop in your car.

Pat
Yeah. And you drive down to the ocean, and then you just do a little.

Glenn Beck
You didn't let me finish. You didn't let me finish.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
They took deep sea diving lessons.

Pat
Of course.

Glenn Beck
I swear to you, it didn't happen in the story. Did not happen that night. They got hammered, and they brought this, apparently, this idea to volodymyr Zelenskyy. Okay, who agreed to it?

Pat
All right, so this the country's comedian leader.

Glenn Beck
Comedian in chief.

Pat
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
He agreed to this and said it was a good idea.

Then the Danish.

Not the. Not the breakfast food.

Pat
The Danish.

Glenn Beck
The Danish.

Pat
Danish intelligence from Daneland.

Glenn Beck
From Daneland.

Stu
You know, the windmill people.

Glenn Beck
The windmill people.

Pat
Formerly Holland, now the Netherlands, now the leather. But there's something danish.

Glenn Beck
Or maybe it was Denmark. It was one of the two. It was one of them.

Stu
Two.

Glenn Beck
Maybe it was the Dutch. It might have been the Dutch. It was one of the two. I don't know.

Pat
I get the Danes and the Dutch.

Glenn Beck
Whatever one it was.

Pat
Okay, all right.

Glenn Beck
Their intelligence. Their intelligence.

Pat
The Danes uncovered this plot or the Dutch. All right.

Glenn Beck
They uncovered this plot, and they told the CIA about it. Oh, okay. So we didn't have knowledge of this.

Stu
Happening, but the CIA said.

Glenn Beck
The CIA said, no, do it, and went to Zelensky and said, whatever you do, don't do this.

Pat
Did they pinky promise that this is how it went down?

Because if the CIA pinky promised, I believe it.

Glenn Beck
Okay, that's good. I don't know if there's a pinky promise that we'll have to check on that. So the CIA then went to Zelenskyy and said, don't do it.

Pat
Don't do it.

Glenn Beck
Zelenskyy said, okay.

Knowing that, of course we are their money bags. Said, okay, fine, we won't. Tried to cancel it.

Stu
Oh, no.

Glenn Beck
But the problem was already underway.

Pat
The deep sea diving lessons didn't take that long, apparently.

Glenn Beck
No, it did. It took months, apparently.

Pat
Oh, it did.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so they. This is legitimately what they're saying happening.

Stu
That it just happened overnight.

Glenn Beck
Yes. Unreal is a good word. Unreal is a good word for this.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
It will either be the most incredible movie of all time when it happens, because after they have this drinking thing, they pitch this all around.

They get a few military members, but not all military members because they don't want it to be obvious when they rent a yacht and go out on a yacht with six people.

Six people on a yacht.

Pat
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Three of them just regular citizens.

Stu
This is months later, though, after all the training, right?

Glenn Beck
Including one woman who took diving lessons to make it look like, well, this can't be a terrorism or a sabotage operation because this woman's there and she's.

Pat
Just way to throw them off the track. That's really smart. You put a woman in there, it can't be up to nobody.

Glenn Beck
Then they go and take a trip across the water and stop in various places where the pipeline is under, which they use maps, like available online. They go down, they deep sea dive down all the way to the pipeline on themselves. Only six people on a yacht. They go down there, they put explosives on there, then they blow the thing up. They leave. They make a mistake when they leave.

Stu
Oh, no.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, they made a mistake, which was they did not wash the boat, so they left their fingerprints and they were caught.

So now they know who it was. And now some of the people were admitting and talking to the Wall Street Journal and saying that, yes, this was us. One of the guys was a high level german, or, excuse me, ukrainian general.

And if you'll remember, he was recently relieved of his duties out of nowhere.

Stu
Oh, yeah.

Pat
And that was why. That was why.

Glenn Beck
That's the thought. It's not. They didn't admit that, but this is the thought is that they knew he was about to get caught and he was responsible for this plot. So they took him out of. Out of circulation as one of the big military guys because now you have a situation, in all seriousness, if this is true, right? You have a situation where Germany was dumping billions of dollars into this war on Ukraine's behalf, and this plot, which ruined their economy, was actually taken out at some level of agreement in the ukrainian government and military. So they're a little pissy about it right now if it's actually true, but.

Stu
It is pissy because Joe Biden said he was going to get rid of it, too. No.

Glenn Beck
And did he do it?

Pat
But he didn't. He didn't. It was the Ukrainians.

Stu
Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the.

Pat
We know what that means.

Stu
The border.

Pat
Thank you for Ukraine definition of then invasion.

Stu
There will be. We, there will be no longer norse team two. We will bring an end to it. Oh, there you go.

Pat
All right. But we didn't because a bunch of.

Glenn Beck
Drunk Ukrainians drunk Ukrainians. And a woman. A woman diver. A female diver. Okay, let me tell you about american hero named Mario Nelson. Mario was a member of the National Guard and when 911 happened he volunteered to help with the recovery efforts over at ground zero that alone makes him a hero. But it didn't stop there. He later joined the US army and was deployed to Iraq where unfortunately he was killed in action at the age of only 26. Thanks to the support of people like you the tunnel to Towers foundation provided a mortgage free home to Mario's wife and daughter because they were going through a dark enough time without having to think about how to keep a roof over their heads. This is what the tunnel to Towers foundation does. They honor the legacy of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice or those who have been catastrophically injured while serving our country and our communities. So please do good in honor of heroes like Mario. Heroes who put their lives on the line for our country, our communities and the freedoms we all enjoy.

Stu
Identified as mildly humorous humor flu the Glenn Beck program.

We'll be right back.

Pat
It's Pat Stewart. Jeffy, let me add to the tale you were just telling with a tale of a fateful trip. It started on a tropic isle aboard a tiny ship.

Glenn Beck
Okay.

Pat
The mate was a mighty sailing man the skipper brave and sure. Wow. Well, these five passengers set sail that day on a three hour tour.

Glenn Beck
Okay.

Pat
Well, they eventually dropped anchor. They didn't know this. Right above the Nord stream. Two pipeline.

Glenn Beck
Really?

Pat
Wow. And the anchor was so long and so heavy that it smashed.

Glenn Beck
That's what happened.

Pat
Completely destroyed it.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I think there's been some charges on that. Yeah, there was. The skipper to the millionaire and his wife have been charged. A movie star, I believe the professor.

Pat
Charged on the Nord stream too.

So yeah, just as believable is the story you just told us about the Ukraine war.

Glenn Beck
Believable?

Pat
Maybe more believable.

Stu
The Glenn Beck program.
