Stand up straight.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
B
With Pat and Stu today.
Glenn's on vacation this week, triple 8727 Beck.
I think we continue to enjoy really unique times in the United States of America, maybe in world history. I mean, I don't remember anything like this going on where members of a president's own party, many of them, are demanding that he step aside and not run for reelection.
The last president to step aside, by the way, and not run for reelection was LBJ. Lyndon Johnson, I guess he had. I don't know. He was in the middle of Vietnam. He had some health issues.
Plus he was just a terrible president.
A
Yeah, one of the worst presidents of all time, which people don't necessarily mention enough when it comes to LBJ.
B
A racist, a bad president, a bad guy.
A
All of the problems we have today, he had a hand in almost every single one of them individually.
B
Yeah. A lot of the 31 $10 trillion in debt is thanks to LBJ.
A
Basically all of it. Yeah, basically all of it.
B
Thank you.
A
Thank you.
B
But they continue. The bidens continue to be defiant. We'll talk about that much more coming up in 1 minute.
A
You know what television needs? A nice little cooking show for dogs. You know, it would be so easy. Every episode would basically be the same thing. A dog makes a batch of kibble food, turn the oven all the way up to the top at a high temperature, and just bake that kibble until it had nothing, nothing left of nutritional value at all, and then the dog would just go away to find some human food. That's pretty much what would go on, basically. I don't know if it's a million dollar idea or not, but if you want your dog to have good nutrition, maybe not pestering you at the bottom of the table for your human food all the time, maybe give them rough greens. It's not a dog food. It is a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on top of the dog food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the greens. If you care about your dog, you want them to have the best. And you name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably already in rough greens. The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, they have a special deal for you. Go to roughgreens.com Beck or call 833 glenn 33. They're going to give you your first trial bag. Free. That's right, free. All you have to do is pay shipping or call 833 Glenn 33. 833 gl E n n 33 for rough greens call today.
B
We actually played the Joe Biden call in to MSNBC and Joe and Mika yesterday. And it was fascinating because you can tell. You can actually hear the paper rustling as he's reading.
A
I didn't notice that. Can you?
B
Yeah.
Yeah. But it was all from his heart. It was just all from the heart.
A
Yeah. I was on with Megyn Kelly after the show yesterday, and she made the point, I think I agree with this. I'd love to hear your take on it, that basically television networks should not take calls from candidates on the phone because they can be doing exactly what Joe Biden was doing. They could just be reading.
B
Yeah.
A
And you can't tell. And, like, I think, especially in this era, I think that's probably the right call. You should just refuse it. Like Joe Biden wants to come on the air with you. Like, it's probably a big get for Joe Scarborough, obviously, outside of 14 people in Washington, DC, nobody talks about. So for a day, people notice that he still has a show.
And so I'm sure it's tempting to take the call, but, like, is it, it's the right thing to do. I mean, I, you know, even when, you know, Trump used to call in all the time, but, like, and I don't think, I think you could tell Donald Trump was not reading notes. He's just going off the top of his head. That's how Donald Trump is. But still, like, it opens up that opportunity, and I don't think it's a good one. They should be able to be speaking to you directly.
B
Although if the president called into this show, I think I'd want to take it and ask him some tough questions.
A
Yeah.
B
Wouldn't you, wouldn't you want to take the.
A
Yeah, I mean, on radio, look, there's no video call. Right. There's no option. So I think on radio, maybe it's a little bit different, but on tv you have the, like, freaking get in front of a camera if you want to go on a television show.
B
Yeah.
A
You know.
B
Yeah.
A
I don't know. I think on radio, obviously different.
B
But it's, it's interesting because I've never seen him do that before. I don't know that he's ever, I know, called into a live show like that before.
A
These are the aides around him coming up with strategies to continue to hide what we all know is going on. And look, if you are in that role, this is your job.
Your job is to fool the american people into thinking your candidate has a brain that is operational.
You know, I mean, it is.
I just been watching the original Star wars trilogy with my daughter for the first time. She's never seen it.
B
Starting with episode four.
A
Yeah, I made that call. That was the right call, right?
B
That's the right call.
A
I thought so, too. You know, at one point, she asked, she's like, why don't I just. If the one, two and three. Why don't I just watch one, two and three first? And I was like, I don't think it's gonna work. I don't think. I think there's references to things you're supposed to know. I just don't think it's gonna work. So we didn't go that way. But at that point where, you know, what was it? Return of the Jedi, the fully operational battle station.
Like, that is the. What you have to say if you are an aid and a campaign worker for Joe Biden, you have to say his brain is fully operational. Even though everyone looks at it and says, well, wait a minute, that doesn't look like it. It looks like half of it isn't even built yet.
Right? Yeah, it looks like a big chunk is missing out of the Death star. And while in the movie the Death Star could fire, I don't know why they didn't use it more often. It just seemed like every once in a while they'd use it, but seemed like they could fire it more often than they did. The bottom line is, at the end of the day, it's not operational. In the Biden case, it's. It doesn't work.
B
Yeah.
A
It is the equivalent of an old beat up car that's been sitting in your garage for 15 years, and you try to turn it on, and when you. When you crank that key, it doesn't. It makes car sounds, but it doesn't actually go anywhere. And that's where we are. So you come up with ways to fool people. Teleprompters in speeches, teleprompters at private fundraisers, and what is basically the equivalent of a teleprompter on a live interview. He's got notes right in front of him. He's just reading. It's as if Joe Scarborough is a child and a fairy tale is being read to him.
And Joe Biden just like reading it off of cards. I don't know what you get out of that. And by the way, we should note that he didn't even do it.
B
Well, no, not at all.
A
It didn't even hide his infirm state.
B
So if he was reading it, he, and as usual, he can't handle that.
There's something wrong there. With his reading skills, he can't do it. And when it comes to numbers, I mean, he cannot handle numbers.
A
No.
B
Now, if it's millions or billions, trillions. A trillion billion.
He does that all the time.
A
Well, you don't think that a person could just mess up numbers constantly and still work at a high level?
B
Not every time.
A
Let me tell you about a guy named Glenn Beck.
B
But Glenn Beck's not the president of the United States.
A
No, but he's in the radio hall of Fame. The guy's never said a correct number on the air 25 years.
B
That is true.
He's got something in common there. That's great. That's great. He's in good company.
A
There would be an additional level of scrutiny on Glenn if perhaps he ran for president of the United States.
B
Yeah, yeah, maybe.
A
And people might get on him a little bit more about him screwing up numbers. But you're right. Joe Biden never says the right number. He can't even say, like, basic words at this point. And he really can't finish sentences.
I don't know what that is. He gets halfway through a sentence and just stops and goes on to the next thing.
B
And then it's usually anyway, Orlando, look, or let me say it this way.
Or, and then he says that.
A
Or the idea that, and then tries to go on to something else. Yeah, or be like Medicare. And number one, like, he starts, he tries to build a list, and you're like, good God, don't go into a list, man. You don't have two things you can think of. You couldn't even come up with number one. But he tries to go like, he acts as if he's got, these are all things he does to hide what's going on. You know, when you say number one, it's like, it sends a weird message to people that like, okay, actually he's got a list of things. And maybe he's getting confused because he's got so many things going on in his head. He's got a big.
B
That's what he wants you to believe.
A
That's what he wants you to believe. Now, I think everybody can see through that. But still, I mean, good chunk of the country thinks he should be president of the United States. It's amazing.
B
Interesting story from the Washington Post about the missteps, the screw ups of the people around him and how they've handled this since the debate.
That you know, he flummoxed donors with brief, quiet speeches at post debate fundraisers. So, yeah. Bad as he's trying to prove that that was just a one off.
Yeah. I had one Ben night, but watch me now. And he has actually said, I think he said it yesterday.
A
He's been saying it for years.
B
Watch me. Yeah. That's the problem.
We are.
A
I have a cognitive test every day.
B
Every day.
A
And just watch me. Watch what I do. Okay. By the way, the reason.
B
Gary Hart, by the way.
A
Yeah.
B
When he told reporters to follow him, if you don't, if you don't, if you don't think I'm a good guy, follow me and watch what I do. And they did, and they found that he was having an affair with somebody. And so that was not a good idea.
A
Ballsy thing to do.
B
Yeah.
A
It's pretty ballsy for Biden, too, because people have been watching him, the president, United States, sort of hard to miss. And what people have decided is he's got a 36% approval rating. This is before the debate.
B
Yeah.
A
Right. I don't know what it is now, but, I mean, before the debate, he was at 36%.
B
If it doesn't go down, there's something wrong with the american people, too.
Not just him, it's us.
A
There is a disease the american people are afflicted with, which is extreme partisanship. And this is why I am fearful of this election. Even if Biden stays in, which I still think is the best option here, because it makes the path to less insanity more, you know, straightforward, easier, I think easier. But, you know, look, the bottom line is we talk about, like, we talk about Trump Derangement syndrome. Right? What does that mean? Well, about half the country has an irrational hatred for Donald Trump and will never vote for him. Well, I think we all agree that's true. So if that's true, you should be fearful every second of the next four months because there's no room for error.
Right. Like, Donald Trump has about half the country that will never, ever consider voting for him. So. And then maybe the number is 45%. Maybe it's 46%. It's somewhere in that vicinity, probably. And that makes the path for Donald Trump difficult. It means that because of this irrational hatred, because of what the media has done to Donald Trump, because of these things that have gone on when. Since Donald Trump has been in the public eye, going back years and years and years and years, like, there's a bunch of people that never will consider it, no matter what. So it doesn't matter if it is an invalid. It doesn't matter if it's a word salad lady. It doesn't matter if a guy who looks like he's out of, he's Patrick Bateman in a serial killer movie. It doesn't matter who it is. Like, right off the bat, those guys all start with 45% of the vote. And then you just got to kind of cross your fingers. So it's always dangerous. We are always in a situation where this is going to be scary. And even with a guy who can't seem to complete a sentence, it's going to be difficult.
I still think it's the easiest path, though, and him staying in the race, which I think there's some pretty big developments on that today, is notable. You know, I mean, it, it makes it, it makes that path more straightforward. And I think it's obvious to most people, even though they hate Donald Trump, that this guy should not be president.
And that, that helped. That's helpful for an independent. It's helpful for people who are on the fence, whoever those freaking people are.
B
It's hard to believe there's anybody like that now, but really is Pat. Yeah. Triple 8727 Beck. More coming up in a minute.

Our NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic and shocking story made national headlines during a traffic stop. Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal.
He was the first line of duty death for, and this is, you know, two years in the NYPD. Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests and was awarded as having excellent and meritorious police duty on several occasions. Jonathan was just 31 years old. Leaves behind his wife Stephanie, his one year old son Ryan, and his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family. At his funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless. She said, my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one for this family. Nothing will ever replace the loss of a husband and father. But thanks to the kindness of friends like you, the tunnel to Towers foundation was able to pay off the mortgage on the Diller family home.
Our fallen heroes and their families need help, and tunnel to Towers is stepping up helping heroes like Jonathan and their families. If you can help out, please do. This is a great organization. They've done so many fantastic things for people who have made this country what it is. Donate $11 a month to tunnel to Towers at t to t.org. that's tthenumber to t.org. t to t.org donate to tunnel to Towers today. 10 seconds station id.
B
Patton Stu for Glenn today. You know, Stu, you mentioned the brain test and whether or not he's taken one.
Mika actually asked that. I don't know. Did we play that part of the interview yesterday?
A
We only got about three sentences into the interview. That's our fault.
B
But here. Here is Mika asking Joe Biden if he's had a brain test.
A
Have you been tested for any age related illnesses, pre Parkinson's or anything like that?
C
That might explain sort of having a.
A
Night like that where you couldn't finish sentences.
B
It's funny.
D
I had before.
I was feeling so badly before the debate. When I came back, they tested me before. I thought maybe I had Covid, maybe there was something wrong. I had an infection or something.
They gave me those tests. I was clear.
B
But have you had a brain test?
D
Look, I had a bad night, but the fact of the matter is, look what I'm doing. I mean, let me put this way. If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes in. That's one night and goes away. That's why I've been out. I've been testing myself and testing everywhere I go. Going out and making.
Everywhere you've gone of that debate. I went out. I was out till 02:00 in the morning. That very night. That very night. It drives me nuts, people talking about this.
B
Drives him nuts, people talking about this.
A
Well, I don't want to drive him nuts.
B
No, you don't want that.
A
That's sad. We should stop talking about it.
B
Why haven't we?
A
You know, why haven't we?
B
He tries to.
A
Poor man.
C
Nuts.
B
Leave him alone. He's just the president. It's not like he's got an important position that you really want to vet.
A
No.
B
And you want to make sure the guy's capable of doing this job.
A
No way.
B
Don't worry about it.
A
Move on. Do we really need people who can form coherent thoughts running the country?
B
No, look, he's been tested every day.
A
Every day. Watch him, watch him, watch him, watch him.
B
Listen to him.
D
Security secretary.
I'm not sure. After I signed the PAC and PAC.
B
At lack act into pack at lack.
A
I mean, good God, we are in trouble.
B
And I think this. I think this is gonna be a meow mix. Commercial Security secretary pretty soon.
A
Just. Just say your stumbles louder. I like just.
At least that would make you think, okay, he's not just waiting away into northern. It's just. Look, the whole thing is really sad on a human level. It's just the fact that our country is at stake is kind of a.
B
A big problem and less sad than pissed.
A
Yes, I'm pissed at this point.
I'm going to be selfish on this one.
B
Stop it.
A
I'm going to say, hey, you know what? I've got a couple kids, a wife living in this country would like it to not go down the tube.
B
We'd like it to continue.
A
Yeah, but just to be clear, the answer was no. He did not take any brain tests.
B
No plan to ever do that. And why?
A
Because he did fail.
B
If nothing is wrong with you, though, as you keep saying, it was just one bad night. We've got no other evidence, despite the fact that we've got hundreds and hundreds of clips of him doing the self same thing over and over and over and over again on many, many days and nights.
But he keeps claiming he's fine. Well, then prove it. Do the test. Say yes. Absolutely. I'll submit to a test just to put the american people at ease that I'm fine, and then I will release the results to the american people, and you'll see that I don't have anything wrong with me cognitively. Why wouldn't you do that? If nothing's wrong with you cognitively, you would.
A
And these are basic things. Anybody can pass these tests. They're not hard.
B
Right?
A
He's just. I mean, can you imagine what happened if he failed?
It would be over, you think?
Although, again, he'd still be in control of this. And this is one of the things I keep coming back to. The bottom line is the man who has to say Joe Biden is not president and is not the nominee is Joe Biden.
B
Yeah.
A
Not even Jill, not Hunter, certainly not Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer. Definitely not Jerry Nadler.
Definitely not these congressmen that have been like, oh, I've never heard of that person before that have come out publicly and said that he should step down. None of this.
All that matters is him.
Unless they're going to go 25th amendment on him. And even in that case, as we discussed, which is not going to happen, but even if it did, he would still remain on the ballot unless he decided he was off of it.
25th amendment just takes you out of office. He could still be the candidate if he wanted to. Can you imagine if they did that? That's what I want to happen. This is what I'm rooting for. They actually did 25th amendment. Kamala Harris organizes a coup, and then he just stays on the ballot and loses. Wouldn't that just be an incredible story?
B
What would probably happen, though? He'd stay on the ballot and winter, then you've got, then you've got a problem.
A
That would be a basic speaker one.
B
Wouldn't that be something?
A
By the way, just to go back, as we're going to break here to our previous conversation on approval rating on June 27, that's the day of the debate, his approval rating was 38.1%. It is currently 37.4%.
Like, I don't know if I'm Joe Biden. Like what, what has his, barely the media has said it. Yes, some Democrats have said it, but have your own voters said it? Really?
I, not, I mean, yes, you can find polls and say they want him out. But at the bot, at the end of the day, if this approval rating said 29%, he's probably out at 37. He probably just keeps going.
B
He's gonna chance it.
A
Why not? I mean, if you're him and you're already corrupt and already a disaster of a human being, why not stand up?
Glenn Beck, if you happen to be living with everyday aches and pains, there are a lot of things that you can try. You can tough it out. You can bite the bullet. You can grin and bear it. I don't know if you know this, though, but nothing that doesn't really work. It worked maybe in tv and movies, but maybe not in real life. You could try something instead that has helped so many other people. Relief factor it is a 100% drug free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. This is developed by doctors. Relief factor uses a unique formula of natural ingredients that address the inflammation in your body, which is where the pain starts. And it doesnt just mask your pain for a short time, it helps reduce or even eliminate it. All day, every day, wherever youre hurting, your back, your neck, your joints or muscles, in about three weeks or less, youll see a difference and rediscover what its like to feel better and live better. So if every day pain is something that youre dealing with every single day, dont go with a mind over a matter approach, try relief factor instead. Go to relieffactor.com or call 1800 for relief. Save on your first order. 1800, the number four relief fight pain naturally with relief factor.

Stu, you say that you have the biggest Biden story of the day.
A
Yes, biggest Biden story of the day? Maybe the biggest Biden story since the debate.
B
Oh, all right.
A
The biggest biden story since the debate. Okay, you ready for it?
B
I think so.
A
Prepare yourself.
B
Okay.
A
Us officials say Russia is unlikely to take much more ukrainian territory. Russian forces are inflicting pain, but NATO leaders gathering in Washington say that their efforts to strengthen Ukraine are working.
Now why is that the biggest Biden story since the debate?
It's because it is since the debate. The first time I have checked the New York Times and their top story was not about Joe Biden dropping out.
B
Oh, wow.
A
Every since the debate there has been either. Joe Biden's getting trashed. We're calling for him to drop out. We have new people who are saying they're going to drop out. Here's Kamala Harris. How can she do well should there be another primary? Joe Biden fails in an interview. He's not going out as much. He's not making call. Every single angle they could possibly come up with to try to get Joe Biden to drop out of this race has been at the front and head of the New York Times every single moment since that debate happened. Today I woke up and decided to check it, which I do for you every day so you don't have to do it.
B
Thank you for doing that.
A
I will say it sucks, but I do it every day. And when I did today, a Russia story. Now they could obviously lead.
You could lead with Russia. There's always a story about Russia and Ukraine you could throw in there if you want to. The fact that, that this is no longer leading the coverage is, I think, a huge indication that he may have succeeded.
B
I think he's going to ride this storm off. He's riding the storm out now.
A
I think it's in some ways premature to, like, be sure about it because he could come out tomorrow and have another debate type performance and start this thing up again.
If he has a catastrophe in front of a large audience, what's going to happen again?
B
If he stays in and he somehow muddles through until September 10 when the next debate happens and he actually goes through with the second debate, which he's already said he's going to.
A
Yeah.
B
And then you have it happen again. Well, then it's too late. Right. It's too late at that point. You can't switch him out.
A
Yeah. I mean, there would be all sorts of legal problems with that.
B
Yes.
A
Have rules about switching out nominees, so.
B
Cause I could easily see that happening again.
A
Yeah.
B
He will melt down in a second debate sometime during the debate, probably.
A
It's hard to imagine it being worse than that. One. But even, like, the Scarborough interview yesterday was really bad. It was worse than the Stephanopoulopoulos interview.
B
Yeah, it was bad.
A
He was all over the board. He was trying to laugh and be funny, but he was slurring his words. It was bad. You know, as I said yesterday, like, the, you know, the one to ten scale that exists for politicians, all Joe Biden content exists between one and three on that scale. So, like, the best thing that Joe Biden could ever do would be a three out of ten. The. The scar. The Stephanopoulos interview was, like, a two out of ten. It was, like, not as bad that the best thing I've ever seen out of Joe Biden, but it was, like, in the middle, middle, upper, I don't know, 2.12.2. The Scarborough thing was, like, 1.3. It was really bad. It was bad.
You know, it was bad.
The debate performance was a zero, like, maybe a negative one, but if he has more zeros and negative ones, this could change.
And he, I guess, could drop out himself. I mean, if he had some. If they fake a medical condition, in theory, he could drop out. The closer and closer it gets, though, the more and more ridiculous it gets.
And there are laws that would keep him out of certain states. Like, they would actually have real problems there. There's a million logistical issues that come with a later departure. I think, though, the answer, though, is he can't say he's not doing this debate now. If he says that, everyone's going to go, wait a minute, you just said you were fine, and now you can't do the debate. He has to say he's in. However, at the end of August, after the convention's over, he doesn't have to say he's in anymore. Oh, I'm not going to debate this, miss, this convicted felon now, not after what he just said last week. Whatever he said last week is they'll come up with some justification to get him out of it, I think.
But, you know, I.
The american people look at Joe Biden, have no faith in him. They realize that he can't do this job. 86% of people say he's too old to do this job. But Joe Biden does not look at himself that way.
B
Not at all.
A
That is, that is the big thing. I think a lot of people miss when they say he's gonna drop out.
B
Top of his game.
A
Yeah, he thinks he can do it, and he really wants the power, and.
B
He thinks he can trick us into believing that he can do it, and that's why he does the fake jog all the time.
A
Yep.
B
You know my mind. I hate the fake jog so much. Pisses me off.
He'll do it two or three times in like 10ft. He'll do it. He'll do the fake jog three times.
A
So what is a fake jog, Pat?
B
Designed to convey that he's full of vim and vigor. This man can sprint. He can jog to wherever he's going at any time. He'll just start running.
A
But the fake jog is just a couple of steps, right?
B
And it's just an arm movement. He doesn't even move any faster.
He doesn't go any faster.
A
He just moves his arms.
B
He hate it.
Oh, it drives me out of my mind.
A
It's one of his many quirks.
B
It is.
A
It really is.
B
It is. That and don't jump are two of my just unbelievable pet peeves.
A
I know you've explained this before, but can you give the audience a taste of what don't jump is?
B
Anytime Joe Biden is at an event, could be speech, a gathering of any kind, and there's anybody standing above him.
A
Like someone, like an opportunity, like a.
B
Balcony, platform or seating above him, he will look up at them and he will inevitably say, don't jump.
And he thinks it's funny for some reason, like suicide is funny to him. Suicide attempts are just so humorous.
A
They are hilarious.
B
I say it everywhere I go. Don't jump. Yeah, don't jump.
A
And then he gets a huge laugh. Right.
B
That's what usually almost never.
A
Almost never. Yeah.
B
Occasionally he'll get like a that was weird kind of reaction, you know?
A
But I mean, every once in a while you have a go to line you think really works and you bring it out over and over again, stunningly, with Joe Biden. It's this. And I don't think I understand.
B
I mean, listen to this.
D
I see him.
A
Yeah.
D
And we also have Donald. Jump. We need you.
B
Don't jump.
D
We need you. I didn't see the bleachers up there. Hey, everybody.
B
Okay? I didn't see the bleachers. Is the setup to jump. Don't jump.
D
Don't jump. Don't jump.
B
Why? Why are you doing. Why? What is this?
D
Don't jump. Don't jump. Don't jump.
A
Thank you, sir.
D
Don't jump.
Don't jump. And don't jump.
Hey. Hey, man.
Don't jump. You look crazy enough to jump. Don't jump.
Don't jump.
Look. Okay, and we're coming.
Don't jump.
Don't jump.
Someone used to jump. Don't jump.
The cancer patients, survivors, caregivers. And don't jump from up there. Okay.
A
What an joke.
B
So weird.
A
What is going on? I will see.
B
It's one of the weirdest things ever. It is from a politician.
A
Yeah. And it's not really funny. He did. There's a couple he gets. You're right. A couple. Mumbly laughs that's about it. One interesting thing about listening to that, though, Pat, if I may.
And those have been compiled over a few years. Right. Like, since he's been present. All of them have been since he's been president, I think. Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
I don't think he could speak like that today. Like, there are times where he seems like he's speaking relatively normally.
B
Yeah.
A
There are times in there where he has some energy and true, kind of.
B
And he's not capable of that.
A
I don't think he's capable of any of those moments now, which is terrifying, because those aren't good moments. We're highlighting them because they were bad.
B
Yeah.
A
And yet.
B
But there is a certain energy usually to don't jump.
A
He just loves that. That's. That's a shtick.
B
Yeah.
A
It's like the Jim Gaffigan hot pockets bit. He just loves it.
B
I have noticed, and there's been a dearth of don't jumps in about the last maybe three months. I think it's probably been two or three months.
A
So has that slipped out of the back of the mind?
B
Might be out of the mind. Or maybe he's, like you said, just not capable of that kind of energy where he looks up at people and I'm going to do that funny, charming line, don't jump, because suicide is so funny, and I'm going to encourage them not to. I mean, what? You know, if that was Donald Trump saying don't jump to people all the time, that's what he would get.
A
Yeah. He would get something stupid, like.
B
Like suicide. It's not funny. That's no laughing matter. People have jumped from heights and killed themselves over it.
That's what would happen to Trump that.
A
You're probably right. You're probably right. I mean, in reality, it's just a.
B
Stupid joke and asinine.
A
Yes. Uh, fascinating, by the way, Joe Biden, and this has been incredible to watch. And I wish I had the guts to try to roll through a market like this and just make money, but every time I refresh the betting markets on who's going to be the democratic nominee, it's different. Like, Kamala Harris had like a 30 point lead at one point right now. Joe Biden 71. Kamala Harris 18%.
B
Wow.
A
So we are back now, apparently in the Joe Biden category. He now looks like he's going to hold on, which is incredible. Michelle Obama 4%. By the way, Glenn, if you happen to be listening, she is third. So I shouldn't be too cocky, but it is. He has.
It's easy to figure out what the strategy should be in this moment. The strategy should be, you have a bad debate performance, you come out, you hit the ground hard. You do interview after interview, you do a Sunday show, maybe two Sunday shows, you come out, you do everything you can to reassure people you're doing events, you're not going on prompter. You're not doing events where you make the hosts ask you questions you've predetermined and get them fired. You don't go on Joe Scarborough on the phone and read your answers like, that's not what you do.
So executing the strategy is the issue. The strategies should be easy. If he came out and had ten great interviews in a row and looked sharp, it'd be fine. People be like, all right, like, that was bad.
B
You would say, ok, that was a one off performance. One off performance, he's fine.
A
But it's not a one off performance. They've done everything to try to hide that it wasn't a one off performance.
And at the end of the day, like, people need to, like all of these excuses that have piled up now.
B
The cold jet lag.
A
The jet lag.
B
Dehydrated.
A
The dehydration, the working too late, the, the, the not getting enough sleep.
I know I'm missing the overprepared, the too many numbers in his head. Over prepared.
B
Yes.
A
I mean, there's, he was exhausted.
All of these excuses that they've rolled out one after another. Donald Trump was yelling during the debate, even though he was on camera and wasn't moving his mouth. All these things that have popped up since the debate are steps to try to cover what actually happened. But remember, things like the coldest is a perfect example of, of something you would have known about if it was a factor in the days leading up. If this guy had a cold and he's going to come out with a raspy voice and he was going to be incoherent, they would have been peppering the media, like, even to lower expectations. To lower expectations. And, like, we would have called it out, we would have said, oh, come on, he's got a cold. Now he's trying to lower expectations. Everybody on the right would have seen it, but they would have done what they could to lower expectations and change that.
None of that happened because none of it was true.
B
Right.
A
He didn't have twelve day jet lag. That's not a thing.
I don't know what Jetty was on, but that's not a thing.
All of this is obvious to anyone who thinks about it.
But you know, and what I think is fascinating about that is it's even obvious to the left. It's obvious to the media. And it's why we got this full court press to get him out over the past couple of weeks. We are now getting to almost two weeks from this debate.
B
And he's still in.
A
Still in. I think I said that on debate coverage right after the debate. He needs to somehow figure out how to get through the next two weeks.
B
And he's done that.
A
So almost, it's Tuesday, so he's got to get to, he's got to get to Thursday, I guess. Yeah. If you get through two weeks, I think you're in a position where you're, where your odds are really high that doesn't account for a real catastrophe publicly or a health issue that's more severe. Like those things can still change the picture. And I don't know. Exactly. You get an unforeseen territory when you're talking about like a real late day dropout like that. I mean, we've obviously had people who have died in plane crashes right before elections.
C
Right.
A
And like they're, they come up with something that happens. Usually. It's not like, well, that party just doesn't have a candidate this time something happens.
But, man, I mean, this would be completely unprecedented if you're doing something like that, that late.
B
Yeah. Triple 8727 beck. More coming up.
A
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
D
Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.

Hey, welcome.
It's Pat and Stu for glenn today. Triple 8727. Beck, what do you make of the Parkinson's doctor's visit to the White House ten times?
A
Well, Pat, first of all, he was there for annual checkups. Three times for the president, who found nothing wrong. Nothing at all. And the other times he was there just because other military members. Other military members. But we can't give any details on any of that, obviously, because of hip.
B
Hop privacy and privacy issues.
A
Exactly. Will give you no details on that at all. But that's exactly what happened, and you should believe it for a reason.
B
A lot of people don't know this, but Parkinson's specialists are also really well versed in jet lag. Oh, yeah?
A
Is that true?
B
Sometimes, yeah. They treat jet lag on a regular basis.
A
Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that. Again, I'm not a doctor.
B
Right. That's the thing.
A
Okay, so this is a jet lag specialist.
B
Yes.
Yes.
A
Now, I mean, I guess you need a specialist to determine why you have jet flagged, like, two weeks later. Yeah, it's kind of a. It is an issue. It is a medical marvel. I'll give you that.
So, yeah, maybe he should be there.
B
Uh huh. Exactly.
All right.
Triple 8727 back more. Coming up.
A
The Glenn Beck program.
It's a new day. I turn around.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
B
Pac Ray and stupor gear for Glenn. This week, we've got some fascinating stuff to share from the White House press conference yesterday with Corinne Jean Pierre. We'll get to that, coming up in 60 seconds.
A
Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where your credit card balance wasn't hit with crippling compound interest? I mean, that would be a nice world to live in. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world. And if you're someone who's a had credit cards and you've used them a lot, chances are pretty high that you could end up in debt up to your eyeballs eventually. I'm talking about the kind of debt that can wipe out your savings and set you back years, if not permanently. But if you're a fiscally responsible person, you should find a little time in your day to give the mortgage consultants over at american financing a quick call. They're going to look over your finances. They're going to see if there's some areas that can be improved.
For instance, your mortgage can really make work for you right. Like, it can help you get out of high interest debt fast. Why not utilize it? That's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with american financing. As always, don't take our word for it. Just do your own homework. Call american financing. Talk to them. 8090 624 40. I've done business with american financing, had a great experience. I think you will as well. 8090 624 40.

B
So the press has seemingly woken up a bit at the White House press corps. And I guess it was just the debate performance, because that was the first night where anything seemed unusual with Joe Biden. Huh.
The guy's been declining for years now and nobody's paid attention.
A
And declining from a low point.
B
Yeah, right.
A
Like, it's not like, oh, he was.
B
Incredible to begin with.
A
Yeah, he was, he was bad. I mean, remember, this is a guy who, what was it, 2008? I think it was when he was on, I want to say it was a bus. And they were like. And he's like, what do you say? Theodore Roosevelt was on television.
Do you remember the theater? Roosevelt was on television.
B
Yes, I do.
A
I mean, he had 100 of those types of moments back then. Yeah, that didn't make any sense. But he was a totally different man than he is today, I will admit that.
B
And if you go back to the 87, when he was fairly young in 87. He was only in his seventies in 87.
But he had the whole plagiarism problem where he was stealing from. Plus he was lying about his background back then.
A
Yep.
B
The guy has lied and cheated his.
A
Way through everything, and he's never stopped lying about his background. I mean, like, it's another good example. Like, why did they not take more seriously the fact that he continues to make up personal stories about his life and then repeat them after he's been fact checked?
B
Yeah.
A
How does that lead to major New York Times op eds from the editorial board?
B
And you could understand it if it was just Fox News that reported on it. But, I mean, he's been fact checked by Politifact, by the Washington Post, by the New York Times.
All the liberal publications have said, no, that's not true. He needs to stop saying it. Yeah, and what is but he doesn't.
A
Interesting about this is not, hey, this isn't true. What's interesting about it is a man who looks at all these publications, who has been fact checked by these publications. They say it's not true. And not only does he not respond to it or justify actually what they got wrong is here, this, this and this. He just keeps saying it as if no one's going to notice.
B
Yeah.
A
That is an indication that he's not with it. Right. Like that is the type of thing that you should have followed up on.
It's a crazy idea.
B
Right.
A
And the Neil Kinnick thing from back in the day, the plagiarism stuff, that is something really fueling what he's doing right now. All the reporting from behind the scenes points to that 1987 situation where he dropped out.
His family wanted him to stay in. He decided to drop out. And he considers it one of the biggest mistakes of his life because he shouldn't have folded. He could have thrown that out. Yep. He's Biden. When I get knocked out, I get back up again. They're going to keep me down.
B
I don't know. Clear back then that would have been the case.
A
Well, first of all, he's going to lose anyway.
B
Yes.
A
But like, I mean, he didn't have a chance of winning that race. And probably it was not a good thing for him to stay with it. Probably long term, the right move, step out, people kind of forget about it. And that's what happened. He became president of the United States and vice president of the United States.
B
Right.
A
So in reality, it probably was the right move. But he looked back at this time where he should have been tougher, he should have pushed through it and didn't. And his kids and his family have brought this back up to him in this time. Do you remember what happened then? You don't need to do that. And he's right.
B
I think you're right. Yeah.
A
He doesn't need to do it.
B
Yeah.
A
There's no, no one can make him drop out of this race outside of himself.
B
I think the only person who probably could if they took a really strong stance is Barack Obama. I think if Barack Obama came out and said, look, Joe, you need to drop out, if he said that, I think he would, I think that would be the end.
A
I don't know. Do they like each other that much?
B
I don't think they like each other that much. But he runs the party.
A
I mean, but we, there is information that Barack Obama, and there's been pretty heavy reporting on this that Barack Obama basically encouraged him. Yeah, you don't really need to do this, Joe. There's no real reason you need to run.
And he did anyway. Well, initially in 2016, he didn't, but then did later, and they apparently had talked leading up to that. And he didn't say, don't run, Joe. You're crazy. But he kind of gave him a very cold version of, yeah, you know, I mean, I guess you could, you know, it was basically like, I don't know if you're the right guy for this or this is gonna work.
B
Do you remember that? I think it was 2020 that Obama did not endorse him. And he was, and Biden was asked about that, and Biden's response was, I didn't want him to. I didn't want him to endorse me. Wouldn't be fair, right? What? I mean, it was that kind of thing. I don't know if he said it wouldn't be fair, but he said he didn't want him to.
A
It was the clearest statement you could possibly get at that time. This is a mandev that Barack Obama picked specifically as basically the second best guy in the nation for this job. Right. That is what you are doing when you're picking a vice president. If I die, this person's going to take over. The fact that he wouldn't endorse him was very telling and very think about what we know now. He probably saw a bunch of these moments behind the scenes.
B
I'll bet he did.
A
And knew he wasn't ready for the year back then. Yeah, I probably knew that this guy should not be president of the United States.
Now, I think the only person pro, because I will say this, Barack Obama can say all he wants. If Joe Biden has a spine, he could stay in.
B
He could.
A
The only person I think really would have the, you know, the, the possibility of forcing him out would be Jill, who does not at all seem to want that to happen. And even then, in theory, he could stay in. Now, if your wife signed your case, most guys fold. Uh, but, like, in, in theory, he's the president of the freaking United States, man. It doesn't matter how incoherent he is. Yeah, if you want a 25th amendment him, you can.
But he could stay on the ballot then, too.
All of this can happen.
There's really no way to push him out after he's won the primary.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, if you wanted, if you wanted to do something about this, there was a path to do it, and it was having a primary challenge and putting, you know, a Gavin Newsom or, you know, a Josh Shapiro candidate, somebody who, like, looks younger and can actually run circles around the guy and have him run circles around him on stage.
B
Yeah.
A
And have debates and have primaries. But I mean, think about what they did, Pat. They started off with a sham primary process. They changed all the rules to make it benefit. They reordered the states that Joe Biden lost. Remember this? Like, he lost all these primaries. They just wiped them out. They said, well, we don't want Iowa or New Hampshire anymore. Now we're starting with the state that Joe Biden won, South Carolina. Gee, what does that do?
B
Right.
A
It immediately says, do not challenge. They twisted arms behind the scenes to make sure he never had a challenger. They canceled state primaries. They booted RFK junior out of the party after, what, 50 years in it.
B
Yeah, they spacious family from him.
A
They stole his family from him, basically.
B
Family.
A
They also wouldn't give him Secret Service protection.
B
Right.
A
Which put his life at risk.
They then tried to get him thrown off the ballot. And state after state, when he decided to go independent, they then tried to get Cornel west and Jill Stein thrown off the ballot. And state after state, they then tried to get Donald Trump thrown off the ballot with some bizarre constitutional argument. They then try to throw Donald Trump in prison.
And now a very good chunk of the party is saying, well, I know millions of people voted for Joe Biden, but that doesn't count.
That's the party of democracy, boys and girls. Those are the people who care about democracy. I mean, what an insane argument to be making when you're doing all of these things. And I have heard not one freaking word I from the mainstream media questioning that series of events. Where are you? You don't notice that being a little weird? The fact that his form of democracy he keeps arguing for only has his name on the ballot. That's not democracy.
But they keep saying it over and over again and no one questions him on it.
B
Very true.
Everything they accuse Donald Trump of, they're already doing, of course, and, and especially since the debate that all he did for 90 minutes was lie.
That's all Joe Biden did was lie over and over and over and over again. He lied again yesterday about the Donald Trump suckers and losers line. Oh, God, on the D day.
A
This is the only stuff he has on Donald Trump.
B
Still doing it.
A
The two things, it's the, that and the very fine people on both sides.
B
Right. Which has been debunked even by snopes now.
A
Yep. I said that. And then the, the fact that he, it was reported in a book. Right. And was it Kelly? I can't remember who. I think it was Kelly who said he made some joke about, you know, these are suckers and losers. He's the guy who got killed. And he made no joke about that. I think it was Kelly, his former chief of staff.
B
But like, but as Trump pointed out during the debate, 19 people who were around him at the time have denied that he ever said that. Yep. You got one person. One person saying that he did say it. 19 testifying he didn't.
A
And like, look, even if he did say it, it's blatantly obvious. It's just a stupid comment. Like a joke, right? Like, you know, Donald Trump is a wise ass. It's, is it possible he said that behind the scenes? It's not impossible. I mean, he says he, like, it's not impossible that anybody would say that behind the scenes. It's not a real commentary on our military. No one believes that.
B
There's no, and he keeps trying to act as if it was his deep, innermost feelings about the us military.
A
Stupid. Come on. It's the same thing that he did with John McCain. Right? Like, he was, like, I like people who don't get captured. Right? Like, it's that same exact line. Now, I don't know. Maybe he said it. I doubt it. I kind of doubt it. Doesn't make much sense. It's certainly not a straight policy position.
Right? Like, it's just, if anything, it's a little bit of a, you know, tasteless joke. I don't know. Is Donald Trump known for tasteless jokes? It's a tough one. People have already priced that in the fact that that is their argument. Like, he brought that one up. He's brought the very fine people on both sides, which, again, has been debunked. I mean, I've done shows on it. You've done shows on it. Glenn's done shows on it. And even stopes has done an entire post on this. He did not say that the Nazis were very fine people. That's not what he said.
B
Speaker one specifically singled them out as not fine people.
A
Yes, he specifically. And like, there's this level of denial that there's no violence on the left side of these protests. And, like, you can go through, look at the country, not just at that one protest, but just generally speaking, across the country. We have seen violent protests from the left constantly.
The antifas of the world are, you might think they're not that big of a deal. But they're burning down cities and breaking windows in their little black hoods over and over and over again across the country and have been doing it for years. This is not made up. Everybody knows. And then, of course, after this, you get into the George Floyd period and all these other things where it's really obvious that what's going on. But at the end of the day, like, everyone knows that there are violent people on both sides, obviously largely on the left, though it's been more on the left. The Charlottesville situation was an exception to that. And at some level, I don't at all own the people who did the Charlottesville thing. As people, members of the right, they have no consistency, policy wise, with anything that I believe go through the alt right view of the world. The. I want universal healthcare.
B
I want the conservative view.
A
Pro abortion.
B
Yeah, right.

No, there's all sorts of elements of that that have nothing to do with conservatism. They sound much more like liberals to me. Or, or if you want to go back to, you know, european national socialism is what they sound like, which these are people who might be on the right side of the european scale, but are way to the left of the american right. These are all things you probably know by now. I don't know which, but it's just fascinating to watch the manipulation of the facts. They don't care about telling you the truth. They don't care. They want you to believe lies. And if you believe lies, then you might vote for their guy. If you believe that this guy's real, actually, he's better than he's ever been. He's not only cogent, he's better than he's ever been.
If you're going to believe stuff like that, you're dumb. They know you're dumb.
They can say anything to you because you're an idiot.
If you believe that nonsense, you're so stupid. You can also believe that biodynamics works.
You can also believe that he's this amazing president for three and a half years, and just this one bad day has derailed it. It's all nonsense.

Next time you're standing somewhere in your home, do something. Have a look around and think to yourself, if I wanted to put this home on the market, what would I need to do to get it ready? It's a big question, and a lot of times the answer is your initial answer, when you're having that conversation with yourself, is wrong.
You probably don't have to redo all the rooms so they look perfect. Actually leave it for someone else to do that work. They're going to want to design it their own way. A real estate agent that you can trust can help you through these decisions, because that agent's going to know the people that he or she trusts to get all those things done. If you have to get them done and then maybe talk out of them, that might be the best decision. You save thousands of dollars, they'll just talk you out of those decisions. Uh, Glenn believes in this so much because he's seen the difference between what a good and bad real estate agent can do. And he started real estate agents, I trust with the best ones in mind.

B
All right, so we started this discussion with the press and how they've just woken up to the fact that Joe Biden may not be in peak physical and mental condition.
It's pretty amazing. But KJP was asked, asked if Joe Biden had a script when he called in to MSNBC and the Joel Mika cup of post em show yesterday, during.
A
The call today to MSNBC, was the.
B
President reading off of a script?
E
So I was in the room when the president called into Morning Joe. The president spoke from his heart. The president was very clear. There was no script at all.
He made that very clear, very detailed. You heard him say, actually during the call that he was reading some quotes. He said it. He shared that information. He was reading some quotes from, from the debate.
B
That's why you read.
E
So he shared that with you. What you heard was a passionate interview. 18 minutes.
B
18 minutes.
E
And he talked about and laid out his vision for this country.
B
Laid it out.
E
He talked about how he wants to make sure we move forward. I want to be really careful because he also talked about the campaign, which I can't do from here. But he, you know, I think it was incredibly powerful.
B
Oh, me too.
A
Incredibly powerful.
B
Incredibly powerful.
A
These people think you're idiots.
Anyone who say, yeah, incredibly powerful.
B
Come on.
A
Come on.
By the way, she works for you, America. This is, she doesn't work for Joe Biden. You pay her. She, her job is to communicate what is going on. In the White House, you only pay.
B
Her $175,000 a year. So that's the good part.
A
That's the good news. And I don't know, somehow she's still able to afford different outfits of high level designer quality every single day. Never had a repeat all these years, never had one repeat, which is really strange and interesting. We have a full investigation of that up on YouTube.com studozamericans. In the comedy bits section, you should check because it's worth it. But I will say it's a fascinating development when you're making $175,000 good money, not enough money to dress like she dresses. I'll say that, you know what's going on there.
B
That job also includes a wardrobe I've done.
A
I will say this. I have talked to people who have worked in the White House, in the White House communications department. That job does not have a wardrobe budget.
B
Really?
A
It does not. Now she could be renting all these clothes.
The best actual description I've come up with is that is actually Hillary, our own Hillary Kennedy, who was talking about how a lot of people in the media will go through, what is it called, rent the Runway type of situation where there's a bunch of those types of services where you can go and you pay a fee, a monthly fee and you can rent a certain amount of outfits. Now she's just got so many of them. I don't know if there's, but maybe like they loosen the rules for her or maybe she's got some other high end one we don't know about. It's possible that's what's going on. There's no way she could purchase the amount of clothing that she purchased.
B
I mean, even, even anchors for, you know, Fox News don't, they don't spend their own money on their wardrobes. You know, there are a lot.
A
Yeah, a lot of them don't.
B
Many of them don't.
A
But again, this is a public service.
B
Job, the clothing allowance. But yes, the White House press secretary shouldn't.
C
Right.
A
I mean, and I, it shows. So, you know, what I do with my life, the fact that I legitimately have talked to multiple people who've worked inside the White House about this question, and they basically were like, you never get away with that.
B
Wow.
A
It's just too much of a political issue. Now if we find out that this has actually happened with Corinne Janvier, it'll be fascinating to see. But they swore up and down, swore up and down that that can't happen. It's because all this stuff is public.
B
Yeah.
A
They said there's a possibility that the Democratic National Committee could pay for it. Like, as an outside source.
B
That'd be legal?
A
I mean, yeah, I guess it would be theoretically legal.
B
Cause then you're talking campaign funds, right?
A
I mean, that's how I talked about this.
B
You just talked about why I can't talk from here.
A
So they said it was possible, but unlikely. Highly unlikely. Because you could probably massage that in their financial statements as something that wouldn't be picked up. But I guess they're just worried about the optics of it. Like, wait, you're paying $175,000, but paying $300,000 for clothing budgets? It just doesn't seem possible.
B
It doesn't? No.
All right. There's much more on this. The press gets a little frisky with her.
A
Yeah.
B
Coming up.
A
Stand up, Glenna back.
C
Weather's warming up, and I can't wait to get to the ranch this summer to paint, to roam cool summer nights with my family, being out by the campfire. I remember when I couldn't do a lot of these things because the altitude created a constant, unbearable pain for me. My wife Tanya insisted that I tried relief factor. I didn't think it would work for me. It's a 100% drug free daily supplement. It's supposed to help your body fight pain naturally. I mean, I went to the best doctors in the world and they couldn't help me. I didn't think this would work. Relief factory uses a unique formula of natural ingredients. It doesn't just mask the pain. It reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body. Wherever you're hurting back, neck, joint, muscles. In three weeks or less, you will start to feel the difference all day, every day. I've been taking relief factor for years now, and it has truly changed my life. Relieffactor.com comma, 800 the number four relief. 800 the number four relief. Save on your first order. 800 the number four relief. Relieffactor.com as the mainstream media perpetuates the.
A
Left'S insanity, we're helping you fight back. One truth at a time. More Glenn Beck next.
B
Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
Been talking about the White House press conference yesterday involving KJP and a press corps that's actually asking some questions for a change. I mean, some difficult questions and kind of sticking with it and following up a little bit and got a little bit heated. Here is KJP, feeling the heat just a bit from the press we provide.
E
To all of you.
Wait a second.
A
Wait. Times or at least once in regards.
E
I just. Wait, hold on a second.
A
Wait.
E
No, no, no, no.
Wait a minute, Ed, please, a little respect here.
A
No, no.
E
Every year around the president's physical examination, he sees a neurologist. That's three times. Right. So I am telling you that he has seen a neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency. That's what I'm saying.
I'm telling you that he has seen them three times.
That is what I'm sharing with you.
B
Was he examined by him?
E
Every time he has a physical, he has had to see a neurologist. So that is answering that question. No, it is.
A
It is. You're asking.
E
I also said to you, and I also said to you, for security reasons, we cannot share names.
We cannot share names. We have to.
B
We have to.
A
Others he would have met with. We can't share names.
If someone came here, in regards to.
E
We cannot share. We cannot share names of specialists, broadly, from a dermatologist to a neurologist. We cannot share names. There are security reasons.
A
We have to.
E
We have to protect.
I understand that right there.
A
For anyone to see.
E
Ed, I hear you. I cannot from here, confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy. I think they would appreciate that, too. We have to give them the darker positive. We have to keep the.
B
Nobody wants you to know that they're treating the president of the United States. Please keep that quiet. I don't want anybody to know that I'm the neurologist for the president of the United States. Who. Who wants that kept secret? Come on. You do buy that they can't say the name of a specialist. Can you say the name of his normal doctor?
A
Her?
B
Yeah, because they have. Multiple times. I don't know if she said it from the podium, but we know who his main physician is.
A
I bet she has said it from the podium.
B
I bet she has. Of course, you can't say the name of a specialist from that. From that position.
A
It's insanity. I mean, it's this same. We were just talking about this. You have to be an idiot to believe these excuses. Obviously, she can say the name.
She can't necessarily say, well, actually, he was here to see this person. Right? Like, that is a line that you would. Might not cross.
B
Because of HiPAa laws.
A
Because of HIPAA laws. However, in this particular circumstance, what any competent. And what any competent individual would do if her version of events were accurate was she would go to the person and say, hey, Bob, they all think that he's got Parkinson's we need to. Can we please say this? And I assume Bob, or whoever it is, would say, of course, just to say, you know, say they were visiting me or say, you know, or give, you know, give a description of my title or whatever, you know, whatever it is. There's no reason they would need to protect that, especially in this situation with people that supposedly want this president to succeed.
I mean, if it was true, and I don't know. I don't know that he's Parkinson's. We don't know that he might. It would explain a lot of his behavior. And I've had relatives who have Parkinson's. It's pretty consistent with what I've seen and what I think most people who have had family members in that situation have seen. That doesn't mean he has it. It probably. What it probably means is they. They thought it was a real possibility.
Whether it was. Whether it wound up being true or it wound up being something else, they probably were like, crap, is this Parkinson's? We should check this out. Let's bring in the best expert we can find. That's probably what happened here.
If they had a good answer. Like, you know, I was thinking when it first broke, like, maybe they were forming a policy on Parkinson's, right? Like, maybe they were bringing him in as to advise on policy. That would be a very easy explanation. And again, any competent press secretary would have thought of it.
The fact that she didn't shows she shouldn't be employed. But, I mean, that's a pretty big, like, hey, we were working on the policy. It had to do with, you know, Obamacare or whatever. We were thinking about tweaking this and that. That. And we needed someone who really knew what this was, because we're talking about coverage for millions of Americans suffering with something terrible. Like that would have been a plausible excuse. That's, of course not what they did, because, you know, number one, it would have been a lie. That does not mean anything to Corinne Jean Pierre, who lies for a living poorly.
But they could have come up with something. They just didn't.
The idea that they can't say the thing that they themselves, released in the visitor logs is so inherently ridiculous. Ridiculous that any moron listening to it would know immediately it was a lie. And of course it is.
B
Yes. Obvious. It's. It's an obvious lie. But they think they. That they can just pull the wool over our eyes on all of these issues. But she was asked if Biden will take a cognitive test.
There have been a number of people who have said, listen, you know, why don't you have a cognitive test?
A
Just to rule out that there are any issues.
B
Right. With the president. You know, do you, would you counsel.
E
Him to do that?
B
Why not?
E
I hear you.
The neurologists have said it is not warranted. The president himself. He said it today. He said it multiple times. And the doctor has said this. Everything that he does day in and day out as it relates to delivering for the american people is a cognitive test.
B
No.
E
That is.
B
What are we, stupid?
E
The medical doctor has said.
That is what the specialist said.
B
Why wouldn't you just put this to bed?
If the guy's fine, just put it to rest and say, you know what? Yes, we'll take a cognitive test. We'll release it to the public. It'll be out by next week, and you'll see.
A
Easy peasy. Easy.
B
So easy. If. If the guy's fine, that's what you do. Just put them at ease, because you want these people to vote for you, and they're doubting you right now. There's no reason not to. Unless you have a cognitive problem.
A
Right.
C
The.
A
The answer to all of this is they have more information than we do.
B
Yeah.
A
They know what he's actually like behind the scenes. And it's probably debate night every night.
B
Night.
A
You know? I mean, think about it.
B
There's no doubt about that in my mind. There's no doubt of that.
A
No doubt about it. I mean, the reason why they're not scheduling him at things late at night, there's a reason why they protected him. Ten to four with an afternoon nap. I mean, there's a lot of that going on. I will say, when you kind of look at, like, where he is and how far he's fallen and how embarrassing and awful this has been, to watch you think about what they have seen behind the scenes, what is it like.
B
Oh, it's gotta be bad.
A
The one that I keep coming back to is they are.
They are risking a constitutional crisis by claiming executive privilege to hide the Robert, her interview audio. There's no reason. We supposedly have the accurate transcript of it. Supposedly.
But, like, why would you. Why would you try so hard to make sure people can't hear that? Why would you do that?
B
Because it was so much bad. It would end his presidency.
A
It must make the debate look good.
And how many examples of that are not on tape that we don't know about? How many times do they walk in there with a sandwich and he doesn't know what to do with it? Like, we have no freaking idea what's going on behind the scenes.
B
Yeah. I mean, when we have evidence like.
D
This secretary, I'm not sure she knows. So long as he was denied, our freedom can never be secured. After I signed the PAC and PAC.
A
At lack act into pack paddle act.
B
The Pack at Ladle act.
A
That's the Billy Joel act.
B
Heart attack act.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
It's moving out. It's moving out. He's just singing the song.
A
It's part of the moving out clause, right? The constitution.
B
I mean, the guy can't even get the blood of liberty.
D
How much have you heard of this phrase, the blood of liberty?
B
Well, never. Until then. The blood of liberty.
D
How much have you heard this phrase?
B
Heard the blood of patriots, the blood of liberty.
D
Never wash your dough. Give me a break.
B
The blood of liberty. Wash it. Don't give me a break.
A
A lot of people say the blood of liberty. Wash it, though. That's a huge. You don't know. You're not on TikTok, Pat. I think it's big on TikTok.
B
Okay.
A
Pretty sure that one's big on tv. I'll have to look it up. All right.
B
I'll take your word for it.
A
It's just embarrassing.
B
It is. And these are the examples that we have that. Where he's been in public saying these kinds of things in private, outside the window, where he's not, you know, at the peak of his performance. I can't even imagine how bad it gets.
I can't even imagine.
And as stiff as he is walking around, you know, with all the symptoms that he displays in public, in private, at 08:00 at night, it's got to be. It's got to be really, really bad. We would be shocked and horrified that he's the president of the United States if we had the opportunity to see it.
And the american people would just demand the 25th Amendment be invoked. And they demand it.
A
But that being said, I hope he stays in the race.
B
Yeah, I know.
A
He still could.
B
Like you've mentioned before, he could stay in the race.
A
Yeah. Even for the 25th Amendment, which probably unlikely, but he could theoretically stay in the race, because that is an amendment that technically sort of goes after a temporary. Like, it's, you know, a temporary leave. Right? Like, if someone gets, like, shot and they're in a coma for a day or two, and they come out of it, like, that's when you're utilizing that type of thing. You need to have a named.
You know, you need to have someone who's actually doing the job right.
B
Yeah.
A
By the way, new, new poll out of Wisconsin. This is an AARP poll.
B
Okay.
A
Taken after the debate. Wisconsin Trump, 44, Biden, 38. RFK junior nine. A six point lead in Wisconsin.
B
Wow.
A
These are catastrophic polls, by the way. Same poll. The Democrat leads in the Senate by five.
B
Isn't that interesting? So the, the democratic senator is outperforming the president of the United States.
A
Yeah. By eleven.
B
By a lot.
By a lot.
A
By eleven freaking points. Yeah.
B
In Wisconsin.
A
In Wisconsin. And again, the poll before this.
B
I think, I think, I think Biden was up, wasn't he, in that poll?
A
Yeah.
B
In Wisconsin.
A
There's a, you know, if you look at the average, it's very close.
B
Is it?
A
Yeah. I mean, you can always find a poll that kind of tells one story or another. This might be an outlier.
Know, I think that, like, the polling so far has told a story of a drop off since the debate, but nothing out of the ordinary. I mean, it's about an average, average change for a debate, a post debate polling cycle, if there's a clear winner, which is not catastrophic. Like Barack Obama came back and won against Mitt Romney after that first debate, Ronald Reagan came back and won.
B
He supposedly lost by, I mean, 40 point margin. Most people, people thought he lost big.
A
He did.
B
And he came back and won that election. Yep.
A
So Ronald Reagan did. You know, like, it's pretty, it's not out of the ordinary that that stuff happens, though. This was, I think, the worst debate performance in the history of our country. So it is something notable. It might be worse, but the polling, the polling.
B
He should be down to ten. Should be down to 10%.
A
That seems at least. There's always going to be people. Like, I brought up this. Someone said to me, like, how can anyone vote for Joe Biden after this? And I said, like, let's reverse the situation here for second. Let's say Joe Biden had a great debate and he just smoked it. And Donald Trump came out there like a bumbling fool and really made an ass of himself. You voting for Joe Biden?
B
No.
A
No. You're probably not. Right? Like, you're probably sticking with who you have. Because, you know, even if he gets in there and he is a bumbling fool, the people around him probably hold generally conservative positions. And generally speaking, it's going to be better than the alternative. Alternative. That's what you're seeing with Democrats right now. They all know he shouldn't be president, but, like, their view of this is. Okay, well, the other guy we know is terrible. I've seen some good policies I've liked over the past few years. Of course, he's not, she should not be president of the United States. But what else did we do? Go with Donald Trump, you know, quote, unquote, waste my vote on a third party candidate? Like, that's what people look at. And, and I think most people in the audience who are Trump supporters, really, no matter what Trump did on a debate, are still going to vote for the guy because you're not gonna, you want the other guy to win.
B
Yeah.
A
So I do understand where some of those people are coming from, honestly. But of course, this should have just been decided months ago. They should have had a primary and repeat, replaced him with somebody who is competent. Everybody, they just sat in the state of denial for four years and then acted like, well, that decision should work out well in the end. Well, typically doesn't triple.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
Noticed it's a little bit warm where you are. Is that possible? What was it? 120 in Las Vegas, 124 I think, in Palm Springs. I think they're setting some records in the west. Here's the thing, though.
It's summertime.
A
What?
B
Yeah, it's summer.
A
And so that means global warming.
B
No, that means it gets hot from time to time. That's kind of what that means. Yeah. In the northern hemisphere, what happens is the tilt of the earth lends itself to being a little bit warmer during that specific time, and then it'll cool off. Off in something called autumn and winter.
So.
A
So you're talking about the suv's, which are.
B
No, actually, no. I'm talking about something called the sun.
Yeah. What is that? It's directly bearing down on us. And in Texas, it's about 3 miles from the surface of Texas.
A
So you're talking about that flaming orb in the sky?
B
Yeah, the 2 million degree flaming orbital in the sky.
A
Well, how would a 2 million degree flaming orb be responsible for warming? Doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't.
B
Doesn't.
A
We're gonna have to talk about this off the air. Cause I just don't understand. It's too complicated.
B
We'll work together on that and see if we can come up with.
A
It's our air conditioning though, right? That's the problem. The air conditioning is causing the warming because of the emissions.
B
There you go.

Got it. Okay.

Well, remember when hard working, God fearing, family oriented people living in this country shared a little something called american values? When the very idea of contributing to companies that promoted leftist and socialist and communist ideals was ridiculous?
All those times seem to be behind us now. But they could be in front of us again, especially with companies like Patriot Mobile. We're on the front lines of protecting those american values for the next generation. Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative christian mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God. Always, every day. They're involved at all levels in trying to do just that. Seen it with my own eyes. They are on the ground in towns and cities across the country trying to turn back the tide. And they offer awesome, dependable nationwide coverage, too. So you can change providers and get great access to any of the three major networks that everyone's on.

All right, before we get to Jake Tapper here and what he had to say about Biden yesterday, have you seen this particular statistic that according to the European Climate Service Copernicus, for the past 13 months, the global temperature has been 2.7 degrees fahrenheit warmer than pre industrial times?
Have you, have you seen that statistic?
2.7 degrees fahrenheit warmer than pre industrial.
A
2.7? So I mean, again, I guess, I suppose when you're, do they give a date on the pre industrial period?
Because basically the way this is, I.
B
Mean, it was very cold before, what, like the 17 hundreds were pretty cold?
A
Yeah. If you go way, way back, you can probably find that to be true. I mean, they would say it's about a degree celsius over the past century.
Um, so according to this article, it's.
B
One and a half degrees celsius, a critical marker as the number.
A
Um, it doesn't matter when you're measuring from. Right. I mean, that's, that's the case. Like, they've been using a century as a benchmark for a long time. The problem with that is there was a warming period in the thirties and they're about to have to run away from that. They're going to have to go to pre industrial period instead of the last hundred years.
B
Well, they keep revising the, the thirties temperatures, though.
A
No, it's true.
B
They revised them down so that it looks like it's much hotter now than it was back then. How are you revising the temperatures that already happened and have been recorded?
A
Well, new science has brought new information and way more accurate, way more accurate.
B
100 years later than it was at the time.
A
Now, you understand, you acted like you didn't understand, but you understood, you understood the whole time.
B
I got it.
A
This is like the ultimate mister fix it for every problem you have as a leftist, right, you just, global warming will fix any of your problems. If you want redistribution of wealth, well, global warming can get you there, right? Like any major policy outcome that you want, you can get from global warming. If you want agencies to determine rules and regulations on everyone so you don't have to pass laws anymore. Well, global warming can get you, it's easy to say, oh, well, there's an oil spill. And an oil spill means that we have to have a new regulation on that area where the oil spilled was. But you can't make the argument that it affects everyone and you have to overwhelm every state law and every federal law. When you have an invisible gas that can float anywhere, all of a sudden you have that opportunity. If you have a gas that's going to heat everyone's temperature and ruin everyone's lives in the future, you can't necessarily prove it now, but in the future, it catches everything you could possibly want. And that's what makes it such a valuable tool. For Democrats, though, it's been largely a failure so far. I mean, they've tried to do these things, but largely it hasn't worked. Most people don't see it as a.
B
High priority, according to Copernicus. This is the first time I've heard of Copernicus, I believe. But June was the third hottest month ever.
That's not incredibly impressive to me. It's only the third hottest month ever. Okay.
As fast as the temperature is supposedly rising and that it keeps getting worse and worse every year, and every year is hotter than the last one, shouldn't it be breaking records? Shouldn't it be the hottest month ever? Seems like it should be by now, but this dates back to 1940. So you're again eliminating the 1930s from that calculation, which they have to do in order to make global warming as dire as they try to make it.
A
Yeah, I mean, we have these periods. This is not out of the ordinary. Right. But it is, you know, it is, you know, a warmer period.
And, like, that's not, people talk about this like the.
B
But that's a good thing. You grow food when it's warmer.
I mean, during the mini ice age, whatever they call the 16 and 17 hundreds, they grew less food and people starved to death, and they didn't have enough to eat. We do now because it's warmer and more food grows. Now, if it gets, you know, much hotter than it is now, you don't want the temperature rising three or four degrees fahrenheit. But right now, it's, it is not catastrophic as they're trying to make it out to be.
A
No, I mean, and of course, cold is a much worse thing for humans. Right? Cold, the number, I think, is 25 times. 25 times as many people die of cold than they do of extreme heat.
That kind of makes sense, right? Yeah, sort of obvious, right? Like, it's just, just what you know about the world. Like, heat can be annoying. We live in Texas. It's really, really hot here. Sometimes if you sit yourself in a car for many, many hours, you'll probably die. There are different things that can happen to you in the, in the heat. But generally speaking, the cold is really kind of more of the problem. More, far more people die because of.
B
Cold because they freeze to death.
A
That doesn't tell the entire story, but it's really important.
It's like a really important part of the story and it's not even close to true. And of course, when you talk about like climate related deaths, these are down 90, over 99% over the past century.
B
Just 99%? Yeah, it's not 100%. They're not down there.
A
Still some people that theoretically die from climate related deaths, but wow, we've made massive, massive 99%.
B
That's incredible.
A
It's over 99 now. But when, especially when you do the ratios of it, like the per capita number is down over 99%, I think the actual number is around 99 for, in real numbers. And then if you do per capita, it's over 99%. Those numbers are, should be. I mean, I think of it this way. If there is one, one number you should know about climate change, it's that one.
You can talk about all the other things in the world, whether it's getting warmer, colder, how many people die from this, from that, all these things that could happen in the future. The one thing you should know is what has been the change in climate related deaths over the century that you have said the earth has warmed so much. And as this has become such a problem. And it is that number, while I. Not a controversial number. It's not like it's, there's like, well, actually it's gone up. No one says that it is a number that is agreed upon. Okay, this is not a controversial number. It has never been in a Unipcc report. I believe it never been included. The actual number of people who died from the thing you're warning about has never been included in the UN IPCC report. Why?
B
Incredible. Because it doesn't help their cause.
A
Doesn't help their cause.
B
It's not part of the agenda. What is part of their. They'll just say, say, because they get much more publicity. They'll talk about tornadoes, they'll talk about hurricanes, which by the way, aren't up. Neither one of those are happening more frequently than they ever have.
A
No, I mean, in fact, one of the things they tried to do a long time ago, this has pretty much been abandoned now by the left, but they tried to say tornadoes were up by massive percentages, I believe. I want to say an inconvenience.
What was it? Inconvenient truth. I got that confused with Glenn's inconvenient book, but inconvenient truth. Al Gore's book, I believe, claimed this. If it wasn't that it was a documentary around the same time, I can't remember which one it was, but claimed that the big problem was tornadoes are up a zillion, quadrillion, manillion percent.
And of course, when you look into those numbers, what you find is that we just are better at detecting the lower scale tornadoes. Now, we now have detection equipment that sees all the f one tornadoes and f two tornadoes that we didn't necessarily see. Like if it hit your house, you'd notice it back in 1900 when it was out in the field and no one was around. It wasn't picked up. When you go through the details of the higher, the f four, f five tornadoes, we've seen no increase, in fact, a slight decrease over time. Time as to how many that we've had. And of course, those are the ones that you'd actually noticed right back in the day, so much more easily comparable.
This has been something that has gone on for a long time. And look, it's such a catch all. It's too important for them to abandon because if you abandon global warming, you abandon a pathway to every single thing you want, including centralized control.
Right. Like, if everyone's going to die because of what Texas does with their suv's, we can't let Texas do anything anymore by themselves. We have to control what Texas does.
Us in Washington, we need to make these important decisions, and it leads you to be able to control everything.
So abandoning it is not something you.
B
Can do, and they're not going to. And they want to spend the 100 trillion or whatever number is currently in mind to fix the problem because that also helps them maintain control and that's what they seek.
A
While we're here, Pat, talking about global warming, we should mention one of the leading climate skeptics in the Senate for many, many years, Jim Inhofe, Senator, former senator from Oklahoma, has passed away today. Now, you know, he was, we had him on the show many times.
He was a guy who fought for, you know, the ability for people to make their own decisions on these things. You know, he was a friend to our energy resources that were under our ground and was a friend to fossil fuels. And people vilified him for that. But he believed it was a path to freedom and cheaper energy. And that really is the path to civilization.
Cause without it, your civilization kind of goes away. So he was a big climate change skeptic. And of course the media is trashing him. I mean, this is the headline from Politico of his death, former senator Jim Inhofe, who called climate change a hoax, dead at 89.
B
Oh, my gosh.
A
I mean, this is also a man whose charitable outreach was incredible. This guy worked with people across the globe to save children.
You know, he's been on the show. He's talked about some of the charity work he's done. Really? Only when he was asked. There was never a guy was bragging about it, but did a lot of really great things. And look, you might not love all of his policies if you're a Democrat. I get that. But there's no reason to treat him like this as he passes away from a stroke right away on July 4.
B
Well, they've made being a skeptic on climate change akin to denying the Holocaust. And so if you ever have any problem with the prevailing theory on climate change, you're a kook, you're a nut, and you need to be degraded. And that's what they do to everybody. It's despicable. It really is despicable.

And is there one thing, you know, one little thing, no big deal or anything, but that Bugatti, well, it doesn't have, you know, an engine. Is that a problem for you? Well, good luck with that.

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

B
Patton Stu for Glenn this week, triple 8727 B E C K. Still, I understand that you've, you've been showing your daughter Star wars. Is this the first time your, your daughter's ever.
A
Yes.
B
Any of the Star wars movies.
A
That's right. My daughter, Ainsley, Zach.
B
Ever seen.
A
We were watching them together now when we first, we watched the first one. And, no, he's never seen them either. We were watching the first one, which is really the fourth one. A new hope.
B
Yeah. Okay. And we saw one from 1977, and.
A
He was sick, so he was like fading fast. It was sort of late at night and only made it like halfway through. And, you know, it's been a long time since I watched a new hope. First, like 45 minutes, a little slow. Like, there's not a lot going on really in the first 45 minutes or so.
B
He's Darth Vader appear in the first 45 minutes.
I mean, he bust through the door.
A
And you get that one scene. Yeah, there's that one scene at the very beginning, and then it goes to Luke's wondering what his career options are for about 40 minutes. There's not a lot going on there. Like, it's pretty slow. And he was fading anyway, so he sort of started it, and then I wound up watching it with my daughter, and then she got really into it. So now we've watched the first trilogy.
We've got made through the first trilogy.
B
So a new hope.
A
Empire strikes back.
B
Empire strikes back. Return of the Jedi.
A
Her favorite so far. Empire strikes back.
B
Mine, too.
A
Mine, too. It's my favorite of the entire series.
B
Oh, by far.
A
It's one of the great. I mean, it's just so good that one holds up completely.
I will say I was never a big return of the Jedi fan.
B
Yeah, I remember that.
A
I just.
And I watched it again with, like, hey, I'm open mind with my daughter. And, like. And she. Did she like the ewoks? Sure. She liked them a lot more than I did when I was a kid. And then I do now. But, like, again, it's not great. It's really not. I think people remember it more fondly because it was part of that original trilogy. And obviously there's some really, like, see.
B
But I was, like, 21 by the time the ewoks showed up, so I was not a big fan of the ewoks either.
A
I mean, that's a good chunk of the movie.
B
It's like a bunch of little teddy bears running around on this planet.
That wasn't my cup of tea.
A
Right. She loved it, but there was enough.
B
And it was so cool that Luke was now powerful. That's what got me through that.
A
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
And I will say, like, of the three to, it's clearly the weakest, but it's not the weakest of the series by any means. We get to that later on. I did have a thought of, should I show these to her in chronological order? Like, do we start with the prequels?
B
Yeah.
A
No, I don't think she'd even understand it, so we decided not to do that. But she's really loving it. She's totally in. I mean, she wanted to keep going even when it was late at night. And it's fascinating to go through him again because I realized, first of all, I love this series for 40 years. I love this series, watching it. And you realize how much they've ruined it. They've ruined it completely to the extent now that pat, I won't watch any of the new stuff. I'm done. They've lost me completely.
B
You haven't watched, like, acolyte?
A
No.
B
At all.
A
No. I mean, I think there's now two full series I haven't watched any of. Wasn't there another one after Mandalorian or something else in there?
B
Yeah, there's been several, I think. Then there was. There was a Obi wan Kenobi.
A
Yeah. Didn't watch any of that.
B
Didn't watch any of that.
A
Nope.
B
And. And then I think there was another one.
A
I didn't watch that. And I didn't.
B
There was the, you know, the bounty hunter, what's his face.
A
Oh, yeah, right. Boba Fett.
B
Yes, Boba Fett. I don't remember what that was called. Cuz I didn't really get into that either.
A
Right. And I didn't even know the latest one.
B
Just really put the finishing touches on ruining it forever for so many Star wars fans. I mean, here's one of the greatest franchises in the history of film, and everybody wants to love it. Everybody wants to love whatever it is you're putting out. It's pretty hard to wreck it. And yet they managed it. It's really sad, really sad what Disney has done with it since buying it from Lucas, but Lucas ruined it too, with the prequel. So, yeah, I mean, it's in part his fault as well.
A
It's. Yeah, it's been ruined over and over again.
It's. And I. What really shook me from the entire series was the Gina Carano thing. Like, where, like, mandalorian. I was. I was. I was grinding my way through it. I didn't love it. I didn't think it was great.
B
It was okay.
A
But I felt like I was watching it more, like it was my job.
Like, I don't know. For some reason, I feel required to watch everything that Star wars released again.
B
You want to love it.
A
I keep thinking I'm going to love it, and then I never love it. And it's true. Even with the movies, you go back and you say, okay, well, the first three were great, right?
Really? Two of the three, I think, were great. Return of the Jedi was good. It had its moments.
B
True.
A
The prequels had moments, I think, but were generally pretty bad.
B
The fight scenes were good.
A
The fight scenes were good. Part of it, yeah, there was a lot of. There was a lot of cool scenes in it. But, like, generally speaking, as a trilogy, everyone knows their terror. And then the. The last.
B
Oh, my gosh, the last three.
A
I actually am a defender of episode seven, which I thought was basically just a remake of the original episode four. However, I actually kind of liked it and thought it was fine. After that gets really bad. I'm not terrible.
B
I just. I never married the new characters. I know a lot of people did like them.
They were okay. You know, it was okay. It wasn't like Luke and Laura and Han Solo and all of that to me. And then the 8th one was terrible. Absolutely atrocious. When you've got Luke whining and crying and I'm scared.
A
I'm afraid, and I can't leave the planet.
Don't hurt me, please.
I just want to stay here. Don't make me go. They turned him into as whiny a liberal as Mark Hamill is in real life. Yes, he did.
B
And it was even too whiny for Mark Hamill. He didn't like what they did to Luke. He complained about it, but he said, it's not my character.
A
And let's be honest, Mark was looking for some acting gigs at that point. It had been a long time. It had been a long time. He had done a bunch of voice stuff. I'm sure he was doing fine cartoon characters.
B
That's all he did.
A
Yeah, for a very long time.
Someone's writing and saying Andor was another series.
B
I guess I didn't love that. It was okay.
A
The fact that what they did to Gina Carano, to remind all of us about this here is a person who was doing an excellent job, by far the most interesting character in Mandalorian, including baby Yoda.
And she posts a picture basically saying, hey, we shouldn't go. We shouldn't. You know, we should not do is make. We should just make sure we don't have another holocaust thing. That's like, I feel like something we should make sure. That was basically the concept of the. Of the photo with no real. Like, it's not like Joe Biden's going to cause one. It wasn't anything like that. It was just like, hey, like, let's not forget what has happened and make sure we don't go down these roads. Very generic, like, nothing.
And something that one of her co stars from the liberal side had done the exact same thing. The exact same thing. And they fired her and not him. And I was like, this isn't. What am I doing? What am I doing? Even watching, giving any attention to this nonsense?
Why am I watching this? Why am I. Why am I giving these people money? They're horrible, horrible, horrible people.
And I. I'm not like a boycott guy at all. I just honestly have just lost interest. Like, it's. It's so infuriating. And. And you get to the point where you have this, like, emotional connection with a show like that and an emotional connection with a movie series where you just almost feel dedicated to it. It's like, I kind of feel like that with, like, you know, like the office. Like, I don't know. Most of the time, I'll watch almost anything for the people, the officer in, just because I love the office, you know? Like, you know, Jim from the office makes a new movie. Yeah, I'll probably check it out. Just because I like him, you know?
And you had that sort of connection, and at some point you realize, what am I putting myself through? Why am I doing this?
And that's where I am with Star Wars. I can't watch any of it.
B
Yeah, that's sad. I think a lot of people are there now. A lot of people have just given up on it because, you know, it was wrecked. And again, I mean, they had so much goodwill for Star wars. It's hard to wreck that.
A
Yeah, really hard.
B
You built up, you know, 40 years of goodwill, and it's. It's almost too bad that he brought it back.
It might have been better had he just left it alone.
A
Yeah.
B
Three, just let him lay and. And let him be, and it would still be considered brilliant.
A
His bank account disagrees.
B
Yes, that's true.
A
I will say that's true. By multiple commas, he sold it for, what?
B
4 billion, I think, to Disney.
A
And I remember when that happened. Number one, it's, like, striking how much money that is. Number two, you realize almost immediately, of course, they're going to make their money back on this. That was a deal. And then now you're at the point where, like, I don't know, are they losing money on these series?
B
I know.
A
I don't know. Maybe. Maybe it's blatantly obvious, but they're putting these things out on Disney, so, like, they're just counting this as, like, their subscribers, but, like, I feel like they just destroyed the entire thing.
Just like Joe Biden's legacy. You know? He was an incredible public servant for 50 years, Pat. Everything this man did was gold.
B
Gold. Right.
A
He was basically the savior of our country for a half century.
B
Yeah.
A
And now he got a cold one. Colt.
B
Bad nighthouse. Yep, because of jet lag and a cold.
A
A jet lagged cold. That's the thing he didn't know was coming because the cold itself was jet lagged.
B
Damn it.
A
And it's like, it's unfair. This man's had an incredible career, and.
B
It'S ruined 52 years of brilliant service to this country.
A
I love that the guy had a 37% approval rating before the debate. How can you say he's had a great presidency?
I mean, certainly that's not true to 70. Almost 70%, you know, 63% of the. Of the public that either didn't know or think it was terrible, and the overwhelming percentage of people think it was bad.
His disapproval rate right now is 57%.
B
How can you disapprove of what? Since he took over, inflation is up 23% or something if you add it all up.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
They like to make the case that, no, no, it's completely out of control now. It's only three and a half percent. Yeah, yeah. But that's on top of 9% at one point and then three more percent and then three more percent and 4%. And, I mean, it's gone up a ton since he took over. Who doesn't love that? Everybody loves that.
A
Everyone loves the giant jump.
B
Everybody loves it when 10 million people you don't know sneak into the country illegally. Everybody loves that. That's great.
A
By the way, can I. Can I separate a little ramp, but a somewhat related one, which is another thing I loved as a child. McDonald's.
I can't take the freaking McDonald's attacks right now. It's driving me crazy.
B
There are McDonald's attacks.
A
I bought a $14 big Mac meal. What's wrong with McDonald's? Okay, number one, McDonald's exist in Joe Biden's. America. America. They deal with the same pressures every other freaking business does. Okay? When I saw this, like, you know, they talked about. I saw an interview with the CEO, and they're like, well, I mean, we saw this one social media post on TikTok that in Connecticut, on the highway McDonald's, someone bought a big Mac meal for dollar 14.
Okay, first of all, a little known fact, I worked at the highway McDonald's in the etiquette. That was my first job when I was a kid. And everything is triple the price because there's nowhere else to stop. It's just highway McDonald's. So those McDonald's have always been three times the cost of all the other McDonald's. Then they're like, well, it's actually, though, even if you just say, that's an. A similar, you know, a one one off, the prices are up 20% since 2019.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Like every other price and every other thing in the country.
B
Go to the grocery store, go to the grocery store.
A
Go anywhere and you will find that same sort of increase. And people act like, I'm sorry. Like, if you want, if you want cheap food at McDonald's, you can get it. You know, I mean, I go there too often.
You know, it's not, it's not that crazy. They've got all sorts of deals going on in the app all the time.
Let me see. I got the app open here. Let's see. Rewards and deals. Yes.
Every day these things are here. Free chicken McNuggets with purchase 99 cent coffee $2 any size fries $1.50 breakfast sandwich.
B
Look.
A
What the hell are these people supposed to do? They're delivering to billions and billions and billions served.
Inexpensive, delicious. Yes. Maybe not perfectly healthy food to the, to people. And all people do is bitch about it. Don't go if you don't want to go.
Shut up. Yeah, I'm so, I'm sick of all the whining about it.
You want to blame somebody for McDonald's prices? The, the freaking invalid in the White House is where you start with that.
Not, not, not Joe, not McDonald. Ronald McDonald is not president of the United States. You want him in there, vote for him. He's not there, unfortunately. He'd be, it'd be a better clown show than the one we have, I'll tell you that. That's for sure.

Abortion has remained the world's leading cause of death for the fifth consecutive year in 2023, despite the overturn of Roe versus Wade, making it the leading cause of death in the world. Tragically, this total is greater than the number of deaths attributed to the next seven causes of death combined. It's a problem. And Preborn is leading the charge in our nation to turn this around. Every day, Preborn's network of clinics rescues 200 babies. You see, by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound, the baby's chance of survival doubles. Now 200 babies are truly miraculous. But Preborn's work has only begun, and we need to do more together. By the time I finish this life saving message, two babies will be aborted in this country. Please join me. One ultrasound is $28 and $140 will offer five babies a chance at life. Just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Keyword baby.

Patton Stu for Glenn today, by the way, you know, you were talking about McDonald's. McDonald's raising their prices because everything's gone up, what, 23%?
Although as a small business owner, I have noticed it's a lot more than that on certain products. It's about triple that on some things like butter and sugar and other products that you need to make. You know, I don't know, like, for instance, cookies.
A
Yeah. And you guys at Kexy, cookies use about one third of America's butter in each cookie, which is incredible.
B
But as a business owner, you have to decide at some point, all right, do I continue to eat this cost, or do I raise the price of what I sell so you can make money on it?
A
Or do you change your recipe slightly? Maybe the cookies are a little smaller. Maybe you don't give as good a value. No. I mean, I know you guys for a long time just ate it completely, which ate it, by the way. A terrible idea for a business, just so you know. Right. But you've been successful because people really love the cookies and keep coming back.
B
And right now you can get 15% off the cookies@kexy.com. 15% off.
A
There you go. But it's true. I think it hits small businesses all the time.
B
It does. And, you know, I mean, does IBM care that the prices have gone up at the grocery store?
25%? Probably not as much as, like, we do.
So, yeah, small businesses, they're going to be more affected, but eventually it's going to catch up to the places like McDonald's, and they're going to have to decide. All right, do we raise the price of a value meal or do we continue to eat it indefinitely and not make as much money as we once did?
You're not going to do that forever, right? It's crazy.
We'll see you tomorrow.
