Glenn Beck debunks Democrat debt ceiling lies by citing Congressional Budget Office figures showing higher projected deficits than Biden acknowledged, while exposing the "safe street release" loophole allowing migrants to bypass border enforcement. He contrasts current 190,000 monthly apprehensions with Trump-era peaks and refutes Biden's approval rating comparisons against historical presidents. The episode further critiques ineffective gun control measures that merely shift weapon types rather than reducing violence, exposes the "gas stove conspiracy" as a left-wing distraction tactic, and highlights prosecutorial failures regarding border crimes. Ultimately, Beck argues that these policy failures and media narratives reveal a systemic crisis in American governance and public safety. [Automatically generated summary]

This is the Glenn Back Program.
Tara Reed.
Oh, by the way, welcome.
It's Patton Stew today for Glenn.
Who's not in today?
Hopefully be back tomorrow.
Tara Reed had some interesting things to say about Joe Biden.
We'll get into that.
Joe Biden's got some interesting things to say about a lot of stuff.
Share that with you as well.
Biden's Approval and Rough Greens00:15:00
Coming up, and it'll start in 60 seconds.
Terry wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
She writes, my two dogs have been on Rough Greens for four months.
I no longer have to give Tilly an allergy pill that she previously needed.
And I stopped a probiotic I was using because Rough Greens already has it.
And Tucker, who wasn't eating much at all, now has a great appetite.
Thank you, Rough Greens.
Is that what Tucker Carlson's doing now?
He's eating Rough Greens.
Wow.
I mean, it's been a big change.
Thanks for writing in, Terry.
Dog food is dead food.
Everybody knows that nutrition isn't brown.
It's green.
Fortunately, naturopathic doctor Dennis Black invented the solution.
It's rough greens.
Rough greens isn't a dog food.
It's a supplement you sprinkle on the food and it's full of vitamins and minerals, probiotics and antioxidants, things that are going to make your dog healthy and happy.
Most dogs love rough greens right off the bat.
Let rough greens boost your dog's food back to life.
They have a special deal going on right now at roughgreens.com/slash Beck.
It's your first bag free.
It's right free.
All you do is pay shipping.

Biden accuser, Tara Reed.
Now, she claims that Biden pushed her up against a wall and sexually assaulted her.
And had a contemporaneous witness, we should note.
At the time, she told someone at the time it happened.
Right.
So which kind of lends it some credibility.
Well, it's the ultimate credibility to every case against every other guy.
Yes.
Right.
Like that's what, that's the whole game.
Yes.
Well, this week on social media, she said that if something happened to her, she's not suicidal and all roads lead to Joe Biden.
So she's apparently a little nervous about where she stands with the supposedly most powerful man on earth.
Reed alleged during the, of course, 2020 presidential election that in 1993, then Senator Biden forced himself on her while she was a staffer in a deserted hallway of a Senate building and sexually assaulted her.
She said, I want to make something clear.
If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying, and intimidation over the last three years will not work.
I am not suicidal.
I should not be under investigation, nor am I a foreign agent.
I'm a private citizen.
I was a former staffer of Joe Biden's that was chosen to step forward to tell the truth.
That has chosen.
She wasn't chosen by somebody.
She chose.
The tactics use using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work.
Leave me alone.
I didn't realize she was being hassled this way or intimidated.
Hadn't read that in the past.
She's had all sorts of problems.
I know Glenn did a podcast with her not too long ago.
It was a little while.
I think.
Let's see.
Well, the title of the podcast on YouTube is, Will Effing Destroy You?
Tara Reid punished for exposing Biden.
So I think she's been talking about this a little bit for a while now.
Yeah, she has.
If you want to check that out, it is available on YouTube for everybody.
You know, look, it's really hard to go back multiple decades to litigate one of these situations.
It is, yeah.
It does really.
It's impossible to prove.
It's impossible to prove.
We're seeing this with Eugene Carroll right now, right?
Like, you know, I don't know.
Did something happen with her and Donald Trump?
I don't think so, but how would we know?
It was 30 years ago.
Right.
And how would you know?
But I will say that if you look at the hypocrisy of the situation from the left and the media, who constantly tell us we should either believe all women, I guess they've backed off of that one a little bit.
They haven't been saying that quite as often, but that was their initial pitch.
Just believe women.
Whenever a woman, trust them by their genitals.
If they happen to have a certain type, then believe them.
Now, of course, they don't have to have that type to be a woman.
And you should also believe them, I guess.
But unless they, of course, commit a mass shooting as a transgendered person, then they're not transgendered.
Then they were lying the entire time.
I don't know their rules anymore.
I've lost track of them.
Well, they make them up as they go.
That is what they say.
And so you never really know what the rules are.
It depends on the circumstance.
It depends on what benefits them at that moment.
That's what is the fundamental principle at play.
Yep.
What benefits them at this moment to entertain Tara Reed's claims do not benefit them at this moment.
Now, there may be a time in the future.
They may decide, you know what?
We don't want Joe Biden anymore.
We want Gavin Newsome.
We want Joe Biden to lose.
Then they will take Tara Reed's claim seriously.
Yep.
That's when that will happen.
It's what happened with the education.
And it'll just come up like out of the blue.
Like they just realized.
Yeah.
Oh, wait.
Tara Reed claims that she was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden.
We should look into that.
We should, of course.
It's very serious.
It's what happened basically with Bill Clinton, right?
Bill Clinton was the darling.
They ignored all the very credible accusations against him for years and years and years and years and years.
They blew it all off.
It was right-wing conspiracy back then.
Yeah.
And then the 2016 election happens.
They have no longer have a use for Hillary Clinton.
She's gone.
The Me Too thing is the thing they want to push at this time.
So then they decide to, you know, toss Bill Clinton aside, largely.
And that's basically what's happened.
Yep.
You know, now he's no longer.
He's not protected like he once was.
Nope.
Not at all.
No longer useful.
Wow.
Also, Biden, apparently, his speech writers have decided that it's time for him to start addressing his age in a funny way and his mental acuity.
I mean, I in a funny way.
I've already thought it was pretty funny, frankly.
Did you?
It's been hilarious at times, though also really disturbing at times.
Yes.
Yes.
Because I'm not sure there's anything funnier than the leader of the free world being completely incompetent.
I mean, not to scream to me when you start joking about that yourself.
That's really funny.
But the guy is going to be 82 years old when the election rolls around.
And so I guess they've decided that his approval rating is so low now that they should maybe start acknowledging it and then own it.
And I think they believe that maybe that'll get people back in or get him back in their good graces.
I don't know.
Even Democrats, I think, are a little leery right now of him.
Yeah.
I mean, the polling is certainly showing.
I saw among blacks, 55% plan to vote for him.
See that stat?
I mean, that's a horrific 55% for a Democrat?
It's usually in the 90s.
Yeah.
Now, it wasn't even in the 90s for him.
It was in the 80s before this.
But that's still.
So we've seen a major drop off.
Way below.
Now, this is an ABC Washington Post poll, which you should take as seriously as you take other polls.
I mean, it's not like a crazy pollster or anything that's going to give you hard right-wing results.
It is, I would say, a really bad poll for Biden in that it's not exactly in line with most of the other pollsters.
It's much, much worse.
That being said, it's approval rating way under.
What is it?
Like 43%?
Yeah, 42, 43 is usually where he is.
Now he's been in the 30s.
And 36 is, you're bordering on that point where they start thinking maybe we should run somebody else.
I mean, I think that number is probably 30.
You start seeing approval ratings in the high 20s.
I will not be surprised at all if somebody else big gets in the race.
And I mean, you see the impact that RFK Jr. has had.
You know, this is not a guy who's seen, he has no real campaign put together.
He's just a guy who, you know, he's obviously got a big media personality, but he's not a guy who has put together a serious campaign apparatus.
And he's still showing up at 21, 22%.
That's a catastrophe for a sitting president.
That's bad.
Like if Gavin Newsom got in, maybe you'd expect that.
But the poll that showed Gavin Newsom, or excuse me, RFK Jr. at 21 or 22%, the same poll had Ron DeSantis at lower than that.
It had DeSantis at like 18.
So like the idea that RFK Jr. is making more inroads than Ron DeSantis, I don't think is actually accurate in the long term.
But, you know, I mean, DeSantis hasn't even announced yet.
There's a million asterisks to that.
But we talk about DeSantis all the time.
And RFK Jr. is not really seen as a major threat.
If you put a guy like, you know, if you start seeing approval ratings in the 29, 28 area, you'll see potentially somebody like Gavin Newsom who really wants this.
It's blatantly obvious this guy wants this job.
And he doesn't want to wait, I don't think until 2028.
No.
He thinks this is his time.
And you know what?
Usually, usually, when you have that feeling, you better go for it.
How many times have we seen candidates be like, you know, I don't know.
I'm going to wait four years.
Bad idea.
If what your goal is, is to become president of the United States, usually that's a failing strategy.
I mean, Chris Christie is probably the perfect example of this.
You go back to when he was first kind of hitting the scene and everyone was talking about him and he was the hot thing on the conservative side.
And then he was like, you know what?
I'm going to wait.
And then he waited and he made no impact whatsoever.
And we found out who he really was.
That's the problem.
A lot of it is like, unfortunately, the people who get excited about you eventually learn who you are.
You better jump in now.
And, you know, look, if you don't think you can do the job, you know, you shouldn't jump in.
But if you believe you'd be the best person for the job, I'd understand why you'd want to jump into the race.
If you think you have a path to the presidency, the issue here, of course, you know, on the Republican side is you get so many people in there.
I don't know that we learn anything.
You know, I think you want to have a situation where, you know, look, Ron DeSantis hasn't been tested at this level.
He's never run a national campaign like this.
He hasn't been tested at this level.
We need to see if he can handle the heat.
I think he can, you know, but who knows?
Donald Trump, we obviously know what we have there.
There's a bunch of other people who have jumped in, which is who knows?
But I think, you know, these polls are really, really bad.
The one that I think is really notable, the part of that ABC poll, is the part where they're talking about mental acuity, mental sharpness.
Yeah.
32% believe Joe Biden has the mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president.
Which means 32%.
68% do not.
Incredible.
That's amazing.
That's incredible, especially in this era of hyper-partisanship, where people basically will just click the button of their guy.
You don't normally see things like 32% for a candidate because 47, 48% are going to vote for the Democrat no matter who it is.
So the fact that only 32% believe he can actually do the job and a significant portion of Democrats will vote for him anyway is amazing.
But I think perhaps the most amazing part about that is, you know, look, Donald Trump is by far, I think, the leader in the Republican primary, most likely to win the primary.
He is 76 years old.
He's not 60.
He's not 55.
He's 76.
Joe Biden's 80.
They're the same era.
They are four years separated.
And what it tells you is that this is not about age.
Donald Trump has a 22-point lead when it comes to the mental acuity standard.
They say 54% says Trump has the mental sharpness needed.
Only 32% of Democrats.
Remember, a large portion of that 54% despise Donald Trump with every fiber of their being.
And they're still saying, yeah, obviously he's sharper than Joe Biden right now.
Obviously.
This shows it's not about age.
Yeah.
It's about the fact that everyone has eyes and ears cognitively declined a lot.
And it's not just you.
It's not just me.
It's not just everybody who listens to conservative talk within the world.
Democrats too.
They notice it too.
They know what you know.
You can't help but notice it now.
You can't help but notice it.
I mean, he's babbling.
We'll play some audio in a minute of him babbling about infrastructure, the debt limit, his poll numbers, and he just can't get through things.
He just can't do it.
And I think that it's finally starting to have an effect even on his base.
We'll get to that coming up in one minute.
It's Patton Stewart for Glenn today.
Hopefully, Glenn will be back tomorrow.
Joe Biden on MSNBC talking about the infrastructure and so brilliantly.
He's really good here.
Mr. President, there is a lot we can cover, but I want to start with maybe your most ambitious agenda item, and that's your infrastructure plans.
This is something you have wanted to do for decades, rebuild America, bring jobs back, but it's going to take time to implement it.
People haven't seen it.
A year from now, what will Americans see?
Well, they're going to see bridges that didn't exist before that were shut down.
They're going to see, for example, you're going to be able to get an Amtrak and instead of going through the tunnel in Baltimore at 30 miles an hour because nothing's been done under the Chesapeake Bay for under the Baltimore River, the Baltimore area for 80 years.
They're going to be able to 100 miles an hour.
They're going to see more.
They're going to see railroads going from Syracuse all the way down to New York.
What?
Upstate New York.
Anyway, to the city.
Baltimore's Bay Bridges00:03:34
But I guess what I'm saying, I think that we're going to see his movement.
How can we be the most successful economy in the world without the first-rate infrastructure?
I think that what you're going to see is people in the Baltimore River uh, the Chesap, the Baltimore.
You know the water that's around Baltimore.
I don't know what it's called, but something it's called, and a lot of things haven't been built under that water for a long time, really.
Yeah wow, that's terrible.
You're kidding.
You haven't built anything underneath the Chesapeake Bay for a while.
Huh, I think it's time to do that again.
I should tell you, I do have a condo there.
Really?
Under the Chesapeake Bay.
It is beautiful.
I bet that's nice.
It's beautiful.
Especially at this time of year.
It's very when the blood in the water just curdles just enough for you to kind of cut through it and get down get down to that front porch, which is really nice.
It's really, I bet.
I mean, this is just, this is embarrassing.
Again, it is.
People don't believe that he has the mental acuity to do this job.
They also believe his physical health is terrible.
He's 30 points behind Trump when it comes to the physical health poll.
Well, people see him walk.
And when you see him walking out to the helicopter or wherever he's going or walking up onto a stage, he tries to do that little trot thing where he moves his arms really fast.
So it looks like he's jogging.
That's exactly what he does.
Yeah, he just moves his arms.
We know you're not jogging.
Okay.
Stupid.
That's right.
And he's lost every time he gets off stage unless Jill is there to guide him or somebody comes up and guides him.
He doesn't know where to go.
He doesn't know what to do.
He doesn't know where to turn.
And you know they've told him over and over and over before the event.
Okay, Mr. President, you're going to exit stage left and just walk down the stairs and we'll be there for you.
He turns the wrong way every time.
I mean, you saw the card that they took the photos of and they gave the question in advance from one of the reporters.
One of the other cards had an outline of who was there.
And the first person on the list was you.
Like you, like as in Joe Biden, it just said you on the card.
Like he had to remember that he was there.
Oh, man.
I mean, that is not bizarre.
That's not good.
No.
You know, remember Richard Lewis, the comedian?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was a big guy in the 80s.
He's curb your enthusiasm to this day.
But he just came out with a video where he talked about how he has Parkinson's.
And he said the way that he discovered it was he was his feet, you noticed his feet were shuffling when he was walking around.
And obviously, I'm not saying that Joe Biden has Parkinson's.
God forbid, I hope he does not.
But like he has that same vibe.
The walking when he walks from the Marine One to the press.
He shuffles.
He shuffles.
It's not, I mean, it looks like there's a real problem there.
It does.
And I am not the only one who's noticing this.
You're not hateful for noticing it.
It does not mean that you dislike older people if you happen to notice it.
It's fair for a citizen of a country to expect their leader to be coherent.
That is a fair request.
It's a fair standard.
It's one that we should expect our leaders to be.
You don't think you're being a little too picky there?
No.
Okay.
No.
Expecting Coherence From Leaders00:02:31
I mean, obviously, in California, you have Dianne Feinstein, who can't even make it to work anymore.
Right.
You have other...
It's sad.
Yeah.
It's just really sad.
The whole situation is that John Fetterman, who's not old, obviously is completely incompetent to do this job.
The Democrats are built on people that have absolutely no ability to do their jobs.
And when they do them, it's worse.
I'd rather have people who just go stay at home.
The best senator in the Democratic side right now is Diane Feinstein.
Yeah.
Because she doesn't co-up and she doesn't screw anything up.
She just stays home.
I hope she stays in office for 100 years.

888-727-B-E-C-K.
We were sharing some of the Joe Biden interview on MSNBC the other day, and he spoke about the debt limit, which was brilliant.
Other than the fact that just about every word out of his mouth was a complete lie.
The Debt Ceiling Lie00:12:49
Is that important when you talk about the debt limit?
Do you have to say things that are true?
Well, you should.
Okay.
I don't know that you have to, but I'd prefer it.
Okay.
So this is just a picky preference issue.
Basically, yes.
And here's how that went.
You have a very strong economic recovery story to tell.
Pause it for just a second if you want.
Hold on.
You have a very strong economic recovery story to tell.
Now, what planet are we discussing?
This is for Venus.
Venus.
That's true.
Venus was in a really, they had a really tough time.
COVID hit them hard.
It did.
It killed everybody there.
Yep.
They're all gone now.
Every single Venetian is dead.
Everyone.
Yeah, all of them.
Is that what they're called?
Yeah, Venetian.
Venetians.
So economic recovery.
What are you talking about?
We've got rampant inflation.
We've got, I guess the employment numbers have been okay if you're not a black person because those numbers are really low.
Record lows, I believe.
And he's about to claim that they're incredibly high.
Well, so do you have to say, is the difference between low and high important when you're talking about something?
I'd say that.
As a linguist, Pat.
Yeah.
Is that something that is important?
I'm going to say yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
There's more.
However, in less than four weeks, the government's going to run out of money.
And so many of these economic wins could fall by the wayside.
As president, what are you going to do to help us avoid default?
Look.
Look.
Not a single solitary Congress has ever reneged on the debt.
The debt is not a debt that I accumulated.
The debt is not a debt that occurred over the last several years.
It's 200 years, the debt.
200 years.
The chunk of it is.
The escape that we wouldn't pay our debt is just bizarre.
It's estimated that if we didn't pay the debt, we'd lose 750,000 jobs.
We'd have a recession.
It would be a disaster.
Pause it for a second.
You got to go through this piece by piece because the lies.
Nobody's suggesting we should reneg on our debt.
No.
Who is saying, yeah, we need to default on our debt?
And even if they did that, there are certain things that must be done even then.
Even if they did decide, yeah, we're going to go into default here.
They still have to pay Social Security and Medicaid payments and payments, interest on loans and all of those things.
Constitutionally, they still have to do some things.
Yeah.
I mean, they have to.
My understanding, kind of the way this is set up is it's basically the last thing.
Right.
They can't.
They can't.
Right.
There is, the debt cannot be questioned.
Essential things have to still happen.
Essential things have to happen.
All of the bells and whistles would stop, but tons of other things would stop too before we got to defaulting on the debt.
I mean, chances of that going to are basically zero.
I mean, you should not be worried about it.
It should not be something that anyone is worried about.
And he's acting as if Republicans are suggesting it.
Right.
No, it was just their policy.
It's a fault on the debt.
Right.
This straight out policy.
It's not even what they are doing, which, of course, is just trying to negotiate for the most minor requests to keep this debt slightly less terrible.
But we should point out, there are levels of this.
No one is suggesting we live within our means.
The Republicans aren't even suggesting.
They're not even suggesting it.
Literally, no one is suggesting we cap spending where it is.
No one is suggesting it.
Okay.
As far as the official proposals.
I'm suggesting it, but no one real is suggesting it.
What the Republicans are suggesting is a moderate increase in our spending every year.
Not even a decrease.
Not a decrease.
Yeah.
Not a hold the line.
Not a we must spend less than we take in.
None of those things that you would do at your house.
None of those proposals are even being floated by the right wing party.
None of them are even being considered.
What they are asking for is, hey, what do you think that maybe we don't spend as much as planned going forward?
Which is, of course, an increase of several percent per year.
And they're saying like 1% per year.
Wow.
Not a decrease of 1%.
No.
An increase.
An increase of 1%.
This is a very rational, reasonable proposal.
And by the way, we should also note one that they have no expectation of actually passing.
Yeah, which is what he's about to say.
And he calls it ridiculous.
And the idea is someone for the first time is saying, unless you pass this ridiculous budget I have, which is the way I would characterize what the Republican MAGA budget is.
Unless you pass this budget, we're not going to increase the debt limit and we're going to go bankrupt.
We're going to the United States of America is going to reneg for the first time.
Nope, not what they're saying.
And this can't, no one's ever tied them together before.
I've said to the Republican leader, here's the deal.
Take the debt limit, pass it like you did three times when Trump was president and he increased the whole national debt for 200 years by 40%.
Republicans would argue, though, that Donald Trump, at the very least, they would say, played ball.
You're not willing to play ball.
Play ball.
Play ball.
Could there be a ball?
Stop for a second.
Could there be an interview where someone is more leaning into what she wants the answers to be?
No.
Like, she's just like, she actually almost laughs at her own question there.
If you see her facial expressions, if you happen to be watching on Blaze TV, you'd see them.
But if you're listening on radio, she's like almost smirking.
She's like almost giggling at her own question.
Look, I know this is ridiculous, but I have to say it.
It's like that type of vibe.
And of course, you know, he, because it's not a real question, he's just going to say whatever he wants to say to get himself out of it.
Look, the debt ceiling was created for a reason.
Is it the best?
Look, should you just live within your means?
Yes.
Should you just have a balanced budget?
Yeah.
Should we have a budget at all?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's another good one.
That's a good question.
That's long since we had a budget.
Right.
And if you're going to have a debt ceiling, why was it created?
It was created for moments like this.
It was not created like maybe a debt ceiling should be created, right?
Which is, hey, we can't go above this number.
That would be crazy.
Let's set a big number.
Let's never go near that.
Let's never get over a trillion dollars.
That would be nuts.
Let's make sure we stay away from that.
That might be a debt ceiling.
This is a little more like the NBA salary cap where everyone seems to be able to fit everything in.
You know what I mean?
And so this situation here where Biden, this new version of the debt ceiling is just, let's just check on ourselves a little bit.
You know, when we hit this number, let's examine what's going on for a second.
That's really it.
That's really it.
And even that is insane to the Democrats to even consider thinking about addressing why we keep bumping into this debt ceiling every few months and keep raising it and keep raising it.
How do you keep raising a ceiling?
I mean, a ceiling is a sea.
It's supposed to stop you.
That is the point.
At the point.
And at the point where you hit that ceiling, you don't then just bust through the ceiling, which we do every single time.
Republicans and Democrats alike.
They just bust through it every single time.
All right.
He had more.
He ballooned the debt.
He created unemployment.
Look, when I came to office, we had incredibly high unemployment.
We're in a situation where we had very little movement on anything going on.
Wait, what?
Look at the employment rate now.
And wait a minute.
This is the typical thing that Democrats have tried to do, where they just basically take the depths of COVID and act like the reason that it got turned around was because of that.
Yes.
Despite the fact, I mean, you know, all the exceptions we could obviously note.
It's such a dumb argument.
We don't even need to outline how stupid it is.
I mean, it really is that ridiculous.
But to say that nothing was going on, we were spending like $5 trillion.
What do you mean nothing was going on?
All we were doing was sending money and printing it and sending it out the door to people.
We spent $5 trillion in that era with both Republicans and Democrats on board for it.
We should note.
Now, of course, he kept going after the COVID emergency was over and kept spending, which is why we got all this inflation.
But I doubt that's part of his analysis here.
Yeah.
And then he lumps in the, and he cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion.
Well, that just ended the COVID spending.
Right.
That's exactly right.
And he just was given the vaunted, now, as you know, the Washington Post is not exactly a right-wing publication.
And they do their fact-checking and they give you the Pinocchios.
They just gave him the very rare bottomless Pinocchio.
Literally gave him a bottomless Pinocchio because he said this lie so many times.
They refuse to continually keep fact-checking it because he just keeps saying it, even though everyone knows it's not true.
The bottomless Pinocchio from the Washington Post for this claim.
And he keeps saying it again.
I'm sure that the pushback is coming.
I can't wait.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
There's more.
Just today, 250,000 new jobs.
Highest participation in 75 years of women in the job market.
Lowest unemployment rate for African Americans.
Things are moving.
As I said, you have a very strong economic recovery story.
Why?
But this is a very volatile Congress.
There are members of Congress that's their fault.
You might be okay with us defaulting, but they think it could hurt you more politically.
Given that, are you prepared to invoke the 14th Amendment and blow through the debt ceiling?
I'm not gotten there yet.
And here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
I think that.
First of all, this is not your father's Republican Party.
This is a different government.
No, sir.
No.
And I think that we have to make it clear to the American people that I am prepared to negotiate in detail with their budget.
How much you're going to spend, how much you're going to tax, where can we cut?
For example, in the first two years of my administration, I cut the debt by $1.7 trillion.
There it is.
$1.7 trillion more than anybody's ever done in history.
Their budget goes in.
There's no possibility they can pass their budget.
No.
Zero.
Really?
Zero possibility.
They cut $200,000.
Anyway, $200,000.
I'm sure you can get going on it.
Because that's his way of doing it.
No way.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
They cut $200,000.
No, two, because he doesn't know the number at all.
He can't keep numbers in his head.
He's the worst.
Let me give you some numbers if you'd like.
All right.
Biden says he's cut it $1.7 trillion.
He claims it's a record.
The Congressional Budget Office, the official scorekeeper in February 2021, had already estimated the budget deficit would fall dramatically in 2021 and 2022 because emergency pandemic spending would lapse.
The combined 2021 and 2022 budget deficits were projected by the CBO to be $3.31 trillion.
In November, the CBO said the combined deficits were in fact $4.15 trillion.
What happened?
Biden enacted additional pandemic relief funds and other new policies, resulting in more modest decline in the deficit.
It was projected to be much more than $1.7 trillion before he got into office.
Wow.
For instance, the deficit was projected to be about $1 trillion in 2022, and it turned out to be $1.375 trillion.
So he added $375 billion.
It was supposed to decline $875 billion in 2021, but it was only $360 billion.
So half a trillion dollars worse than projected.
He's on TV bragging about it over and over again.
No pushback from the person who was interviewing him.
No.
In fact, she's playing along.
Like, oh, I know you've done such a great job on the economic recovery.
It's such, you've got so many wins in the economy.
What?
What wins does he have?
Incredible.

the glenn back program when was the last time you checked the legal title to your home And by, you know, checked, I mean made sure it's still in your name and not the name of some criminal.
It's called home title theft.
And it is a nightmare for you and for everyone around you if it hits you.
Our homes title are, they're all online now.
And so a criminal can access and forge your signature.
It's a race against time to stop him or her, I will say.
Sometimes they're female criminals too.
But they take out loans against your home.
They can sell it out from underneath you.
They can make it so you don't have a home anymore.
When's the last time you checked your home's title?
I'm guessing it's never.
Maybe like when I bought the house.
That's not going to work in this environment.
Home Title Lock demonstrated to me how online criminals can get you.
In minutes, they found the title to my home and forged my signature, slating me for all sorts of financial collapse.
I didn't want that to happen.
Luckily, they're friendly and they weren't actually stealing my home.
They're just showing me how easy it was to be stolen.
Home Title Lock helps shut this kind of thing down.
It's what they do, and they do it better than anyone.

This is Patton Stewart for Glenn.
Today, hopefully, Glenn returns tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow is a big day because that's when Title 42 ends.
And we're expecting probably a little more business at the southern border than, well, we've ever probably received in the history of this nation.
There are caravans on the way.
There are people lining up.
There are tens of thousands already in El Paso.
Have you seen the scenes from El Paso, Texas?
It's incredible.
And what's going on there?
The fact that it's an American city is one of the most outrageous.
It's repulsive.
I mean, it's something you'd expect from a third world country.
And here we are looking at this happening in not only our country, but the state we're sitting in.
The fact that this is going on here in Texas or anywhere in America is disgraceful.
And they've declared a state of emergency in El Paso.
That's how bad it is.
They just, I mean, I don't know how their services aren't completely overwhelmed.
Well, I think they are.
I think they're completely overwhelmed by the deluge of illegals who have crossed the border and they're now just camped out.
It's outrageous.
Tommy John Underwear and Border Chaos00:03:22
Title 42 is still in place.
That's the key thing here.
Right.
This hasn't even happened yet.
Yeah.
Now, I will say, I was listening to a little of the New York Times podcast today, and I do this to torture myself every morning.
I'm a masochist and I want to make sure I feel real pain every day.
And I do this.
It's a good way to do it.
It's a good, it's a very good way to do it.
And they said, will it be easier or harder for you to get into the United States after Title 42 goes down?
And guess what their answer was?
Harder.
Oh, it's going to be so hard once Title 42 goes down.
Now, of course, then they went to explain basically 9 million exceptions to whatever pitch they were trying to give that would make any person who comes to the border easily able to cross it.
But they want you to know it's going to be a lot harder.
I can't wait for this.
Because, you know, they've been saying they've got a year to prep for this.
They've had plenty of time to put the plan in.
Let's see how this goes this week.
It's going to be fascinating to watch.

All right, so just in time, and again, they've had a year to plan for this.
They've known for a year this was gonna, this was going to happen, that Title 42 were to end.
And so they've been planning it for a long time, and they came up with the perfect solution here to fix the whole border crisis, really.
I have to admit, and I'm a little embarrassed now to say this, but I was a bit skeptical they had a plan.
It didn't seem like they didn't seem like they had any idea what they were going to do here.
Right.
And I was worried that when Title 42 comes down, that we'd have this huge flow of migrants over the border and it would be a real disaster.
Breathe easy, okay, everybody.
This is new from Bill Malugan.
He's from Fox News, and he does a great job covering the border.
He says, per multiple Border Patrol sources, last night, Border Patrol leadership made the decision to authorize all Border Patrol sectors to begin.
And I should, before I give you the big reveal here, one of the big concerns was they have these facilities.
They're already packed with these new people about to come over the border.
What do they do with these new people?
They'll be overflowing.
They'll be overflowing.
With people.
Right.
And you have to come up with a solution to that problem.
Maybe you have more space.
You ship them to other places.
What do you do?
So, again, this is from Border Patrol leadership.
They've made the decision to authorize all border patrol sectors to begin safe street releases.
Safe street releases.
Now, I don't know about you, Pat.
I would be against dangerous street releases.
I would too.
If you're releasing illegals into oncoming traffic, that would be bad.
Let's say you got a helicopter, you put migrants in it, and you drop them from 50 feet down to the highway.
I would be very, very nice.
I'm not for that.
That's not a good policy.
That's not what's happening here.
That's not what's happening here.
What's happening here are safe street releases.
These are releases to the street that are safe.
There's no oncoming traffic.
No, it's not in the middle of a road.
Okay.
That's not what they're talking about.
So essentially, they might put you on a sidewalk, right, where it's safer than on the street itself.
He outlines what this means.
This means in coming days, we will likely begin to see mass releases of migrants at bus stops.
Bus stops.
Bus stops, for example.
All right.
Gas stations.
So if you happen to work in a gas station or own a gas station, you're going to get some new customers.
They won't have any money, but they'll be there to potentially help your, you know, if you needed a border of people around your gas station to block other customers because you thought you had too many customers for some reason, maybe this would be helpful.
Also, supermarkets.
And this is happening in communities across the border as the legal crossings continue to surge to record highs ahead of the Title 42 drop in two days.
Well, I will say it's happening a lot in El Paso right now.
There are illegals all around grocery stores, gas stations, parking lots, bus stations.
They're everywhere.
Churches.
They are often around churches.
And one of the interesting things about this, I guess there's a little quirk, a little cutout in the law, because as you know, this government really respects religious liberty.
Big time.
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh, of course.
Okay.
Everybody knows that.
Hugely protective of religious liberty.
So what happens is migrants gather around churches and they stay out, you know, outside on the sidewalk right by the church.
And then if someone comes by, a border patrol or a police officer to try to bring them in, they jump over the fence and then they stand on church property.
And therefore, since they're at a, quote, house of worship, they can't be brought in.
Oh, they've got sanctuary.
They've got sanctuary in the sanctuary.
Actually, it's back of Notre Dame.
It pretty much.
It's essentially the same story.
Yeah.
You know, so this is great.
Safe street releases and sanctuary.
Good.
Not sanctuary cities, but just like you're near a sanctuary, so you don't, you can't be brought in.
And this is only going to be an issue if they run out of space, which they already are before Title 42 even goes down.
And there's hundreds of thousands of people across the border waiting to come in in two days.
Some estimates have it up to 750,000.
750,000.
All at once.
We're already setting records.
There was a there was look, there are peaks.
There are peaks and valleys to immigration.
We know that.
In fact, there was a big peak in Trump's, one of his last years in office in 2019.
There was, you know, normally Trump would be around, I'm just eyeballing this graph here, you know, 25 to 30,000 per month, monthly apprehensions at the border.
25 to 30,000, which is a lot.
Okay.
However, it peaked much higher than that.
In the say spring of 2019, that number hit, rose all the way up to about 100,000.
100,000, Pat.
Yeah, that's a lot.
In one month, about 130,000.
Nice.
In one month.
And then it came back down to the normal levels of about 20, you know, 30 or 40,000 down to 20,000.
That's where it basically hit and bottomed out in the COVID era, rose up to normal levels again at the end of Trump's time.
Well, in month one of Joe Biden, he was at about 75,000.
And then month two, it was about 105,000.
And then month three, if you remember the peak being 130,000 from the Trump era, month three of Joe Biden was 175,000.
And you think, wow, that's because it's more.
That only happened in one month of Donald Trump that he hit 130,000 apprehensions.
And so far, the 175 is only one month of Joe Biden.
That's true.
That's true.
And if I stop telling this story right now, that will still be the case.
It's the age.
For Joe Biden.
For Joe Biden.
No, because month, let's see, four was $180,000.
Month five was another $180,000.
Month six was $190,000.
Month seven was $215,000.
Month eight, $210,000.
So an improvement from the previous month.
Oh, good job.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, there we go.
Good job, Joe Biden.
Now, then it dropped down actually a little bit and bottomed out.
Remember the bottoming out for Trump was about 20,000?
The bottoming out for Biden was 160,000.
Then it continued to rise.
So the bottom was higher than the highest level for Trump.
Yeah.
Biden has only been as low as 160,000 since this ramp up happened one time, where Trump had only been as high as 130,000 one time.
So they're pretty much equal, equal footing.
Then, by the way, it went up again.
I should point out in early 2022, it hit 230,000 and then 240,000 and then 245,000.
But then after that, dropped back down to 220.
Oh, well, again, wow.
That's a lot like the gas price.
Right.
It's kind of like a gas.
It went up to like $5 a gallon and then they came way down.
It's like $4 a gallon.
$4 a gallon.
And now we're all just sitting here going, wow, that's normal.
Yeah, that's fine.
I should point out, by the way, it went up again.
It went up, you know, when it bottomed out at $210,000 or so.
Then it went back up to $230,000, $235,000, $235, then $255,000, which was actually the peak.
And it's now settled in only at like $190,000.
Again, $60,000 worse than the worst month of Trump that only happened once.
But they inherited a terrible problem on the border, and that's why.
That's why the border is a mess.
Actually, it did not.
The border, well, look, the border, if we were to take Biden out of this chart, we would look at Trump's performance on the border and say, you know, we wish we did better than that, right?
Because, look, I'm not even comfortable with 30, 30,000 a month.
That's not a lot.
That's still a lot.
But it's, you know, in comparison to other presidents, it's not terrible.
And certainly comparison to Joe Biden, it's not terrible.
You know, I mean, for a guy who sat here and has told us over and over again, this crisis does not exist.
Here we are.
We're in the middle of it.
And it's about to get much worse.
I don't know that people realize what we're about to be seeing, Pat.
I mean, you said 750,000?
By some estimates, that's what they expect.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
And what do we do?
I mean, we are.
I don't know.
How many border agents do we have?
20,000?
Something like that.
Yeah.
I mean, that'll just overwhelm the system.
You just can't handle that kind of invasion is what it would be at that point.
I mean, what can you call it other than an invasion of 750,000 people?
It's like, okay, well, none of them are armed, so it's not an invasion.
Well, that makes it almost worse because if it were armed, you'd be fighting back against it.
We're not fighting back.
We're not doing anything about it.
Yeah.
The new plan, by the way, other than the safe street release program, which is going to be great.
I was listening to this amazing podcast from the Daily, the New York Times that I mentioned earlier.
And they were going through this program that they supposedly put in.
And they've said multiple times that they've had a year to plan for this.
This is not going to be as bad as everyone was expecting.
They've been able to plan, which is great.
Then they went through their plan.
And their plan is you can fly here instead of coming to the border because that will lower the border confusion and congestion.
It will lower that because you're flying to, let's say, Cincinnati.
You've flown into Cincinnati or you've flown into Miami.
And I can do that without papers?
Well, you have to know somebody here.
That's a big part of it.
You have to know somebody here.
So you can fly here.
Apparently anybody in Mexico, Central, and South America knows.
What are the odds?
And of course, they don't even have to be legal here.
They just have to be here.
So you come here, you can fly in instead of coming to the border.
That's one of the reasons, ways you can do it.
And they're also saying if you are coming from, let's say, Guatemala, you're going to pass through Mexico.
You have to ask Mexico first for asylum.
Now, in a different world, I think that's probably an improvement to the policy.
You should have to, right?
If you're walking through Mexico, you should have to ask Mexico first.
Of course, in reality, what happens is Mexico just comes up with their system to just say no immediately so you can come to the border.
How are we going to prove that they actually did this?
We don't know.
And of course, there's no country in between Mexico and here.
So anyone from Mexico is exempt from this.
They can just come in because they're from Mexico.
They didn't have another country.
Also exempt anyone with children.
So if you show up as a family, we can't separate a family.
Of course not.
No.
Of course not.
So what we'll do is just let them all in.
That is literally the policy.
Now, of course, this not only will invite families to come, it will also create a market for children.
Because if you can show up with a kid, you get in.
So if you're, you know, you're a coyote, you're a drug cartel, what do you now have an incentive to collect to give to people crossing the border?
Children.
Okay.
So now I've created the market for children.
And then finally, none of this applies for people, residents of a country who we have bad relations with.
And the example they use, I kid you not, is Russia.
So if a Russian immigrant is coming across the southern border of the United States, we just let them in because we don't have any diplomatic relations with Russia right now.
Solid.
We're currently funding the opposition to Russia in a war where we're sending billions of dollars of missiles to them.
And we're going, our answer here is, oh, well, anyone who shows up over the, and I don't know if you know this, there's not really a straight line here for a Russian immigrant to cross the Mexican border.
But if they do that, we're like, okay, come on in.
We can't fly you home.
I would imagine that would apply then to Iran.
Iran.
Venezuela, maybe.
There's some other policies potentially that apply to Venezuela.
China?
China?
I mean, I don't know.
Do we have real diplomatic relations with China at this point?
It certainly doesn't seem like it.
Amazing.
So all of this is going on.
And then their answer when all of these people come in and they have no place to put them is the quote safe street release.
It shows the planning that's been going on for the last year, doesn't it?
I mean, it shows just how well thought out this whole thing is.
888-727-BECK, more coming up.
Biden's Polling Numbers Explained00:06:09
All of this indicates just why Joe Biden is so darn popular right now.
He was asked by Stephanie Rule about his polling numbers.
They discussed them, the polling numbers, because, man, what a tough interview she gave him the other day.
It was brutal.
You know, after talking about his policy victories, his economic plans that have been so good and how bad Republicans are, they got into his polling numbers.
You're talking about real practical solutions when you reference insulin that you've come up with.
Why do you think you don't get more credit for it?
Why do you think your polling is where it is?
Well, I don't think people, by the way, every major one who won re-election, their polling numbers were a minor now.
But polling aside, then, right?
Sentiment in this country, despite all these wins, is not very good.
Despite all these wins.
Everything is negative.
And I'm not being critical of the press, but you turn on the side.
You're going to get a hit as if there's something negative.
What are you talking about?
Are you kidding me?
But number two, I think we're in a situation where you have.
This is legitimately one of the worst interviews I've ever heard.
I know.
Stop for a second.
This is legitimately one of the worst series of questions I've ever heard in my life.
It's amazing.
I mean, Jill Biden could be doing this interview.
If you told me Jill Biden, if I read the transcript and you told me the interviewer was Jill, I would actually believe it.
Look, why aren't you getting so much credit for all the wonderful things you're doing?
It's a comic book question.
If you did a sketch comedy show about a terrible interviewer, you'd put these questions in, right?
You've done so many amazing practical things that have made lives better.
Why don't people understand?
What the hell kind of question is that?
All the negative coverage he gets?
Do you remember 2016 to 2020?
Are you kidding me?
Apparently not.
I mean, Donald Trump, what was it?
95% negative coverage in the mainstream media?
Something right around there, yeah.
And this, we need to take more time with this particular clip, Pat, because we need to dive into his central claim here.
Because even when he's getting an interviewer that could honestly be married to him, he's still lying.
Yes.
He's still lying.
This woman will take anything you're saying and spin it to a positive.
Why bother lying?
But that is really what he's doing.
Are you saying the polling numbers that he spouted weren't exactly right?
Like every incumbent president is at a really low number at this point in their presidency.
That's not accurate.
In fact, we should go through each one.
Let me bring up all of them for you since polling, modern polling existed and show you how accurate this claim is.
Because Joe Biden says things that aren't true often.
Wow.
And I know that's a surprise.
Yeah, that's a stunning for you to hear.
Stunning surprise.
But this one may be one of his least accurate claims in history.
I don't know that he's ever missed by this much.
It's really, really.
Was this fact-checked on any of the PolitiFact or the posts?
I mean, the Washington Post just gave him a bottomless Pinocchio for his other claim.
I have not seen if they've fact-checked this one yet, but it's just not reality.
It's not what happens.
Of course, not everyone has the approval ratings and the differential that Joe Biden has.
He's in a catastrophically bad position.
Now, he is counting 100% on the fact that Donald Trump will run, and then he will again receive 95% negative coverage, which will give Joe Biden 95% positive coverage, and he will be able to stay in his basement and win this election.
That is what he's depending on.
That is his plan.
He does not plan on doing anything positive for the country or changing anybody's mind about him.
He just wants you to forget about him.
So that is what he's going to attempt to do.
It is the typical disgraceful activity by the media, but I'm honestly less worried about Biden in this one than the interviewer, who is just horrific.
Bad.
Horrific.

We were going through the polling, the poll question that Stephanie Ruhl asked Joe Biden about.
Biden's Polling Numbers Explained00:13:51
You know, you've done such great things.
Why don't people love you like I do?
Why?
Why can't they understand what you've done for them?
Essentially, what she's saying.
She's not singing it, but it's essentially a love song.
Yeah, it is.
You know, it's like, why don't people appreciate you like I do?
And I honestly think listening to this, this is her idea of a tough question.
This is her idea of pressing him, right?
She says, you're brilliant.
The things you've done are brilliant.
You're incredible, but your numbers aren't all that good.
Why don't they understand the incredible things you've done?
That's her way of asking a quote unquote tough question to Joe Biden.
Yeah, we should go back and play it again.
Here's that portion of the interview.
You're talking about real practical solutions when you reference insulin that you've come up with.
Why do you think you don't get more credit for it?
Why do you think the polling is where it is?
I don't think people are major one who won re-election.
They're polling numbers where minor now.
Put polling aside then, right?
Sentiment in this country, despite all these wins, is not very good.
All they've heard is negative news for three years.
Everything is negative.
And I'm not being critical of the press, but you turn on the television, the only way you're going to get a hit is if there's something negative.
You know, you don't.
Anyway, that's number one.
But number two, you're in a situation where much of what we were able to do only is going to come into play now.
For example, I met today.
I set up what they call a second cabinet.
Within my cabinet, I have an enforcement group.
They're the ones going out making sure that we're getting the roads built, the highways built, and getting the lead pipes out of every neighborhood so people aren't dying or getting very sick.
They're the ones who are going to know what's happening.
They're going to be huge piles of people and what's happening.
It's going to be playing around dying.
Unless we can make it clear to the American people what it is that we've actually done.
Stop this.
That's okay.
Enough.
Now, you may know that if you're in a major city, you do see people beaten to death with lead pipes.
So there are some people who die from lead pipes.
He's right on that one.
And we get those lead pipes out.
They will hit them with other pipes, but they won't be lead pipes.
And that's important to make sure.
The claim on the election is one of the most ridiculous claims I've ever heard in my life.
He does not have approval ratings similar to other presidents.
Now, his claim was every president who has won re-election had numbers right around where I am.
Okay.
So let's just examine this.
First of all, let's take the people who have lost re-election.
Okay.
Donald Trump did not win his reelection campaign.
The way, let's look at the split here.
You want to be obviously above water.
You don't want to be below it.
You don't want to be a minus number here.
You want to be a plus number.
Plus number would be, okay, you've got a higher approval than disapproval.
A minus number would be you have higher disapproval than approval.
Okay.
You want to be plus in these numbers.
Okay.
Biden is minus 10 at this point in his presidency.
Minus 10.
Trump was also minus 10 at this point in his presidency.
Now, think for a second of what they say about Donald Trump.
95% negative coverage, right?
Yep.
The person they've called literally Hitler.
They were in the middle of impeaching him twice.
Twice in this moment, in between impeachments.
He was called the worst president of all time by every media source every single day.
He was minus 10.
Biden is also minus 10.
Jimmy Carter is the only other one here that did not win.
Well, it's not the only other one, but he was minus 12 and Biden was minus 10.
So this doesn't help Biden's claim here.
I'm just giving you perspective, okay?
Because his claim was everyone who won re-election had numbers like he has, okay, at this point in his presidency.
Now, Gerald Ford also did not win re-election.
However, he was plus two.
Biden is minus 10.
So a 12-point split between Gerald Ford, who lost, and Joe Biden.
Let's go now through what he actually claimed.
People who have actually, oh, I should point out also, this one's not even fair, but George H.W. Bush.
Now, George H.W. Bush did not win re-election either.
However, he was plus 55 at this point in his presidency.
That's right, because it was after the Gulf War, the first Gulf War.
And his approval ratings were all pretty good, actually.
But he was, so that's a 65-point split between him and Biden.
Okay, now we'll go to Barack Obama.
He was in this administration.
You think he might remember it?
Well, Barack Obama was plus eight.
An 18-point split between him and Joe Biden.
George W. Bush.
Now, this is not right after 9-11.
This is way after 9-11.
George Bush was plus 38.
So a 48-point difference.
And you're not even using his worst approval rating.
No, his current.
That's not the 36%.
No, this is an average or 42 or whatever it is.
You should point out.
It's an average.
His approval rating on average right now is 42.6%.
His disapproval is 52.5%.
So about 10 points.
Bill Clinton.
Clinton was plus 13.
Biden minus 10, a 23-point gap.
Ronald Reagan.
Now, right, Reagan was, you know, at this point in his presidency, remember, this is before the miracle really kicked in and he started sweeping to a massive reelection.
He was still only minus four at this point.
Biden minus 10, a six-point gap with Reagan.
But that's probably his best argument here for someone who was re-elected.
Okay, he's still six points behind him.
Richard Nixon won re-election.
He was plus 19.
So a 29-point gap between Nixon and Biden.
Lyndon Johnson, who didn't run, but he was plus 29, so a 39-point gap.
That's unbelievable.
LBJ was plus 29.
Plus 29.
Again, I think one of the underrated as one of the worst presidents of all time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Really, no one really brings him up.
He's bottom three.
But he's a bottom three type of guy.
Yeah.
John F. Kennedy, of course, did not wind up running for re-election, but he was plus 39, so a 49-point gap between him and Biden.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, plus 55, so a 65-point gap.
And then Harry Truman was plus 30, so a 40-point gap.
So that's what Biden was saying.
He was about the same as every other president who won.
I mean, the state.
He went in 65 points.
Maybe, maybe you could say he was about the same as Reagan.
Maybe.
I mean, again, it's a six-point gap.
You could say, okay, they were close.
That's the only one that fits his argument at all.
Every other one he's wrong on.
And lying by 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 points.
He is.
It's incredible.
Despite the fact that he's completely incompetent, he might be just more of a liar.
Oh, I think he is.
I think almost every word out of his mouth during that interview was a lie.
I mean, he just non-stop lied about everything.
Yeah.
And you really shouldn't have to lie when you have an interviewer who seems to worship you.
Right.
Seems to worship the ground you work on, walk on.
I mean, it's despicable.
This interview, every question is set up as if, you know, he is being asked it by a family member, and that's not embarrassing.
It's not supposed to work.
It's absolutely embarrassing.
She should be ashamed of herself, but I'm sure she's very proud of the interview.
And I bet she got congratulated by all of her contemporaries.
I bet you got congratulated by the staff members that set it up.
Oh, yeah.
The people that gave her access.
Stephanie Ruhl, I don't really know her background.
I assume she was a former Democratic operative.
I mean, I just, by these questions, I assume that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe she's done good at interviews before.
There is a sort of a tactic that some interviewers do where they will essentially kiss your butt to get to certain pieces of information.
Maybe that's what she was trying to do here.
To me, it does not appear that way at all.
I mean, I, you know.
No, she just loves the guy.
It seems like she just loves the guy.
And, you know, her only questions are like, why isn't your messaging of all your brilliance catching on?
It should catch on more because you're so great.
The American people are so stupid that they don't see your brilliance, that they don't see all the great things you've done for them.
Yeah.
I mean, you've raised inflation by, what, six percentage points or more?
And that means more money in people's pockets.
It's like, wait a minute.
That's not the way this works at all.
I don't think that is right.
Exactly.
But wow.
If you were hoping there was going to be some glimmer that the media was going to turn itself around, it's hard to see it when you watch stuff like this.
This is embarrassing.
Embarrassing.
And this guy has not faced any tough questions other than occasionally Peter or Steve Ducey.
Which one is it?
Peter Ducey.
It's Peter.
It's Peter Ducey, who is there every day and he actually asks tough questions to KJP, which she basically ignores or reads the answers to out of her book.
Yeah.
And again, this was part of that interview as well.
There is something personal that's affecting you.
Your son, while there's no ties to you, could be charged with you.
Your son, while there's no ties to you?
There's no ties to his son?
He has no ties to his son.
Wow.
That's pretty weird since they just went on a European trip together.
And, you know, just DNA.
Like, there's got to be some ties.
there are some ties and now he's the reason she says that i'm sure is because he has said they didn't even talk about his business dealings which is an absolute life lie and And we know that from the emails.
It's happened multiple times.
That's just a complete lie.
Yeah.
Your Department of Justice.
How will that impact your presidency?
First of all, my son's done nothing wrong.
Stop.
Stop.
I trust him.
Look, there are a lot of things you can say.
As a father, I can understand not wanting to destroy your kid in a public interview.
I get it.
If that was happening to me, I'm sure I would come up with some magical way.
My son's done nothing wrong.
The man is on film doing things wrong.
Off of prostitutes.
Yeah.
Right?
Not only that, but we know about the drug.
I mean, the gun charge.
The gun charge.
How about just the racist texts?
Yeah.
You know, the tons of racist texts.
I will also note that he wound up hooking up with his dead brother's wife and then cheated on her.
That was not wrong.
Stripper.
I guess.
That's not wrong.
Impregnated the stripper.
That's not wrong.
Gave you a grandchild that you're now abandoning.
Tried to claim that he wasn't the father and had no responsibility toward the two of them.
Yep.
Lied until it was proven by DNA science.
Yeah.
And nothing, he's done nothing wrong.
I mean, that is.
It's ludicrous.
Like, you could say, look, my son's had tons of problems.
They're well documented.
He wrote a book about it.
He's trying to do his best and I'm rooting for him.
But of course, whatever legal trouble he may wind up bumping into has nothing to do with our presidency.
And I think the American people will look at the situation and judge us by what we've done in office, right?
Like that's a generic boiler point plate answer that any human being should be able to come up with on the fly.
And his is, he's done nothing wrong.
What are you insane?
He's on video doing things wrong over and over and over and over again.
How can you say he's done nothing wrong?
Wow, you're pretty judgy.
That's true.
That's true.
I am judging him.
All right.
Triple 8, 727.
Back.
I shouldn't do that.
Well, My Patriot Supply.
You know, if you're not as self-reliant as you can possibly be, the chances you'll regret it in the near future are pretty high.
I mean, I don't know if you look in the news lately.

It's important that you're prepared for any kind of disaster that could happen.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Sweating, Jeffy, and Positive Returns00:03:04
And welcome.
It is Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Hopefully Glenn will return tomorrow.
Not positive on when he returns, but hopefully tomorrow.
Meantime, we've got a Washington Post, Kaiser Family Foundation poll that finds, well, according to the Washington Post, most Americans support anti-trans policies.
Of course, that's the Washington Post spin on the issue.
I call them pro-children and pro-women policies that most Americans support.
Most Americans don't believe it's even possible to be a gender that differs from that assigned at birth.
57% of adults said a person's gender is determined from the start, with 43% saying it can differ.
That's only 5743.
I mean, while it's most Americans, that's still not probably where it should be.
Yeah, I got to say, I'm not overwhelmed with that number.
No, obviously people, I mean, to me, it just seems completely obvious that, of course, the majority of people agree that men are men or women and women.
And you find that out when you're born.
That seems to be, it's the been the truth forever.
Yeah.
And now that it's a 5743 issue, that's not exactly a good outcome in a poll.
No.
But it's better than I guess maybe I would expect from the media coverage, who treat it as if it's blatantly obvious that gender affirming care, which is the opposite of what it means, is the only way to go.
It's the only thing you can do.
You have to affirm that they want to be the other gender than they are.
Of course, affirm it.
What else would you do but affirm?
It's insanity.
Now, as far as sports are concerned, there's more agreement on that.
More than six in 10 adults, so 60% in this poll said trans girls and women should not be allowed to compete in girls and women's sports, including professional, college, high school, and youth levels.
So 60% say, you know, let women compete against actual women.
So biological women compete only against biological women.
And then maybe you can create a trans category if you want to compete in sports.
Seven in 10 adults, 70% said they oppose allowing children aged 10 to 14 get access to medication that stops their body from going through puberty.
So 70% say, yeah, puberty blockers, probably not a good thing.
That should be a little bit higher too.
70%, it's maybe better than you'd expect by listening to the media coverage, but not good enough for a civilization.
Guns, Nazis, and Puberty Blockers00:17:46
The Glenn Beck program.
Let's be blunt.
Sweating is embarrassing.
I'm not a fan of it.
Of course, we know Jeffy, so we know what sweating is.
Just constant flop sweat.
And of course, we live in Dallas, which means that for eight months of the year, it's like living in a volcano, a very humid volcano.
So are you going to have to just accept that you're going to sweat all the time?
No.
Sweatblock wipes at night and you don't have to worry about it during the day.
It's, you know, look, sweating can be embarrassing.
It can be uncomfortable.
I know Jeffy, Jeffy uses these things, right?
Doesn't he?
He does.
And he really loves them.
You know, and believe me, we've seen Jeff.
We've known Jeffy for a long time.
I met him when he lived in Florida and he was just a ball of sweat, a giant ball of sweat.
And now he's not, which is incredible.
I mean, I would have never thought there was a product on the market that could have solved that problem, I will tell you.
And he'll just sit there and sweat.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
On TV, on camera.
It's amazing.
Sweatblock.
Let me tell you about where to get it.
Sweatblock, of course, is 20% off right now with the sweatback wipes at sweatblock.com.
Use the promo code Beck.
Or you can even get these magical sweatblock wipes on Amazon.
It's sweatblock.com.

It's a new day on time to rise.
What you're about to hear here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
It's Patton Stuford Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888727, BECK.
We're going to get into neo-Nazis.
Apparently, this shooter from the Allen Premium Outlet Mall shooting the other day was a neo-Nazi, a Latino neo-Nazi who also praised the trans mass murderer.
Tell you about that coming up in one minute.
Well, let's talk about Goldline.
Hey, how's that dollar doing today?
Huh?
Is that right?
Goldline has a special this week to prepare for what I like to call the coming debt ceiling carnage.
The carnage is coming.
Did you see Janet Yellen?
She was talking about how, well, it would cause a constitutional crisis if they, you know, just said, don't worry about Congress.
She said, quote, Congress just has to do its job.
Congress, Secretary Yellen is doing its job by trying to stop the out-of-control spending that's going to end the dollar that you know very well is true.
Oh, these people.
Anyway, she said it'll just put us into a tailspin.
So it'll work out for you guys too that way.
Goldline's popular one-quarter ounce Mayflower gold rounds are available after being out of stock for almost a month.
With every quarter ounce gold Mayflower acquired, you're going to receive one brilliant uncirculated Silver Kennedy half dollar at no extra charge.
And with each full tube of 25 gold quarter ounce Mayflow is acquired, you'll also receive a special unique gift from Goldline.
Call now.
find out what it is, how you can protect some of the money that you have.
Please consider it.
It's right for my family.
It might be right for yours.
866Goldline, 866Goldline or goldline.com.
So we got some indications right away, really, that this guy was maybe a neo-Nazi.
And I thought, well, he's Latino.
Could he really be a neo-Nazi white supremacist?
I don't think it follows that if he's a neo-Nazi, he's a white supremacist necessarily.
Although, I guess Nazis tended to be sort of white supremacists.
Yeah, I mean, obviously that was pretty central to their ideology, though not every fascist organization has been white or based on white supremacy.
Also, I just heard, who was it?
Oh, it was KJP calling this guy a extreme right-winger.
That is not a right-wing.
It's not on the American right-wing.
Thank you.
If you're a Nazi, that is not a right-wing ideology.
That is a left-wing ideology.
In Europe, it might be right-wing because you've got communism on one side and fascism on the other.
That's not the case here.
No.
And that's why I completely reject what they're trying to do here, which is tie the American Republican Party, the conservative movement, Donald Trump specifically, to this guy or to white supremacy in any way.
I mean, it's got nothing to do with what I believe.
It's got nothing to do with you, what you believe.
No.
I mean, just I mean, just centrally, like the Nazi movement was, yes, based on white supremacy, which is something I completely reject and think is an abhorrent ideology, but also it was connected to complete centralized government control, which obviously is the antithesis of everything we talk about every day.
It's the exact opposite of what I want out of a government.
I want small government.
It's what the left wants.
They want more control of your life.
They want the government to control every aspect of every day.
But can you argue with any, can any coherent person argue that the Nazis were like, you know what?
Let every live and let live.
Just do what you want to do here in Nazi land.
That's not how that worked.
Not at all.
No.
In fact, the government that I want would be incapable of doing the things the Nazis did because they wouldn't have the power needed to do it.
That's what's, I think, really nice about the conservative movement.
You know, we want a government that is limited in scope.
So therefore, it cannot make moves like the Nazis did.
Not even just, of course, obviously the murderous tendencies of a lot of these people, but also just their government policies, which included, by the way, government health care, government jobs, government cars, gun control, government vacations, massive environmental policy.
You want to talk about really one of the first major movements in environmentalism was the Nazi Party in Germany.
They are the basic creators of many of the tenets of what, you know, of the opposition to deforestation that we see today.
They were heavily involved in the environmental movement.
Now, again, once the war hit, they kind of abandoned a lot of those big statements.
They valued the war and taking over the world at a higher level.
But they were big-time innovators at that time and were praised by people all over the world.
The same way that it's happening now, they were praised by people all over the world for these policies.
The government policies, how they were moving into a new world, understanding a new economy, similar to the praise you hear about China today.
That was the same stuff that was being hit to Germany back in the day.
They were seen as a rising star.
And until they started attacking everybody around them, really nobody questioned it.
And honestly, as we know, even when they got into the Holocaust, there was plenty of denial by the mainstream media here, major institutions in the media here.
So this is what they're trying to do, I guess, with the shooter, because the shooter, we don't know this.
We should point out.
We don't have this independently confirmed.
What we do have are media reports of the social media postings.
Now, we can't get the Nashville shooter manifesto, but apparently we know everything about this guy that happened more recently in Texas.
That's all but out there.
And so interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, very interesting.
What they're saying, he was a member of something called the right-wing death squad, which, you know, if you're a member of any wing's death squad, you may want to reconsider your membership.
Yeah.
Just as a Patent Stew safety tip.
You know, if death squad's in your name, probably not a good thing.
But he was a guy who apparently posted photos of Nazis in complimentary ways.
He said something about how Joseph Mengele was one of his heroes.
This is not a good person in any way, shape.
Well, he was nuts.
And also nuts.
He acknowledged online that there was something wrong with him, and he was right, obviously.
And he was kicked out of the military because there was something wrong.
He was.
He served in the U.S. Army, but was removed due to mental health concerns in 2008.
So that gives you a little idea of what was going on in this guy's head.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just a tad bit of an idea.
And this happens over and over again.
It's, you know, mental health obviously is one of those things that gets tossed around after every mass shooting, and it is really important to deal with.
I do, I tend to believe that even if you were to make real inroads on the mental health thing, you'd still have a tough time stopping mass shootings.
It's just really difficult to stop.
And when you have a country that has, obviously, access to guns, we have a Second Amendment that guarantees your right to get them in most circumstances.
It is really difficult.
It's really good.
And people are like, well, what about Japan?
They don't have mass shootings.
Look, if you want to do fantasy football, Sim City, we can all create this fake country that doesn't exist, that has no guns in it, and try to implement these policies from the beginning and see what happens.
I mean, you can have North Korea probably has very few mass shootings, I'd imagine, except from the government.
In fact, all the worst mass shootings in history are from the government.
All of them.
But, you know, sure, maybe, you know, you could do that.
If you want to lock down a population, you want to take away their rights.
Japan isn't North Korea, but they have a different culture.
They have higher suicide rates than we do here because that's what's in their culture.
In Arab nations, what do you see?
You don't see maybe as many mass shootings, but what you see are a lot of explosions at Sabarro.
We've seen more of the approach of running a bunch of people over at festivals in Europe than you've seen here.
We've seen a little bit of that here.
We saw a little bit of that here in Texas potentially recently in another terrible incident from this weekend.
But like, you know, look, obviously guns are part of our culture and it's the type of thing that gets lots of attention.
Maybe you try to reverse that.
Now, mental health would go, I think, a longer way to prevent suicide, which is a much bigger part of gun violence.
It's a much, much more significant issue than mass shootings.
Mass shootings are bad.
We want to stop them.
We'd love to get the number to zero.
I think the FBI estimates about 100 people per year die in mass shootings.
That's bad.
I want it to be zero.
However, in reality, getting a 100 to zero, even if you completely eliminated it, would not be a significant change in the gun violence numbers.
We have about 40,000 gun deaths per year.
More than half of them are suicides.
No one ever talks about that, right?
No one ever even mentions it.
We all talk about the 100 deaths that happen in mass shootings.
Perhaps that's a bad focus.
Perhaps that's a really terrible way of handling this.
And continues.
It's funny, the one thing we give attention to is the one thing that is furthered by giving attention to it, right?
These mass shooters over and over again are trying to get attention and set records and do all these things to give themselves the glory.
And then what do we do?
It's the one thing we talk about constantly.
And this particular person might have set records, too, had it not been for the heroic cop from the Allen Police Department that ran toward the gunfire as opposed to what happened in Uvalde.
He ran toward the gunfire and put an end to him and his rampage, which, you know, yes, thank heaven for that.
Was this guy a citizen?
Because he wrote in his final post that he had been thinking of moving back to Mexico.
Which makes me wonder, was he illegally here?
I don't know.
And we know that was the case in another shooting recently here in Texas.
Yeah, with the Cleveland shooting.
Cleveland, Texas.
Where the illegal alien killed five, a family of five of his next door neighbors.
After being deported four or five times.
We should point out.
And we also have a situation.
We mentioned the attack, which we don't know for sure if it was a attack or if it was just a terrible mistake of some sort.
So this car that bowled through, I don't know if you, there was video of this.
It's horrific.
Of a car, or it's actually an SUV kind of just careening through a bunch of people sitting on the sidewalk.
And I mean, it's just like body parts go everywhere.
I mean, it's like this guy at full speed blows through and just hits these people.
I guess he blew a red light.
The question was, is it just some terrible, terrible accident of some sort?
Was it a drunk driving incident or was it someone who wanted to kill these people for whatever reason?
Yeah, because the article I just read this morning said that he lost control after running a red light.
Yeah.
And then the car rolled, right?
The SUV rolled over.
Yeah, well, it rolled over as he was hitting it.
As he was hitting it.
Yeah, he basically hit the curb and that made it roll over.
I mean, it is a hero.
But we don't know for a fact he did it on purpose.
They just kind of suspect.
They suspect it.
Now, it may very well be.
Because he's been uncooperative.
Yes, which makes you think it wasn't like a mistake.
Drunk driving could also explain it, but it does seem like, I don't know.
To me, it seems like it may have been intentional.
We don't know why, though.
We don't have any reason to understand.
It was a similar motivation as what it seems like it was in Allen.
But let's step back from this for a second.
How do you stop these things?
How do you stop gun violence?
How do you lower gun violence?
They're going to say, take away the guns.
So let's say you stopped new purchases of AR-15s.
Okay.
That's one of the things they want to do.
Now, we've already done this back 1994 to 2004.
The government's own study said it did nothing for gun violence rates.
What it did do is have people buy less, fewer AR-15s, but more other weapons.
So actually, at the end of the day, at the end of the 10 years, more guns were on the streets than before.
More people, there were more guns purchased, more guns in ownership than before.
So likely we'd see the same thing.
So some idea of going from 400 million guns that we currently have on the streets to, let's say, 420 million guns, unlikely to reduce gun violence because there's fewer guns on the streets.
Well, it wouldn't because the Democratic battle cry is more guns, more killings.
So obviously there'd be more killings if they get rid of some of these guns.
Yeah.
I mean, you and Pat are aware of people who have purchased AR-15s.
Not personally like yourself, but you know people who have purchased them.
I do know people who've done that.
And those guns are a couple grand, right?
Yes.
A couple thousand dollars?
I heard about a person who bought it at the wrong time, and it was an $1,800 purchase.
$1,800 for that particular weapon.
I don't know.
I don't know as many people as you do that happen to have purchased these.
That person also lost it in a massive body of water, though.
You don't know where.
That's terrible.
A lot of people, I've noticed, have lost their guns in big bodies of water.
I don't know how many times we have to say it.
There's no reason to bring your guns on a boat like that.
You shouldn't need to.
You don't need to bring your entire arsenal.
You want to bring one gun just for protection?
Sure.
Because if you tip over and capsize, you're going to lose all your weapons.
That's right.
And that's not good.
And that's a terrible, terrible thing.
Terrible.
You don't want that to happen.
No.
So people, if they spent, let's say, $2,000 on a gun 10 years ago, my guess is probably more expensive now.
But you can get how many guns?
For $2,000.
Five, six, seven, eight.
I mean, it depends on what you're buying, obviously.
Pretty good guns.
Good guns.
You know, for $200, $220,000, something like that.
Many of the biggest mass streams in history did not use AR-15s.
They used other guns.
So you can buy, instead of having one AR-15, you could have five, six, seven guns.
You can buy extended magazines.
Why Conservatives Talk About Gas Stoves00:14:39
You can do all the things that the left hates, but just times five or six or seven.
So many unintended consequences when Democrats do stupid things like this.
And so it doesn't work at all.
But one thing that might work, let me just throw this out there.
Let's take a quick break.
Yeah.
And we'll come back in 60 seconds.
Let me throw this one out there.
Now, it used to be concepts like the customer is always right shaped the way that we did business.
Companies weren't ideologically captured by wokeism and taking care of the customer's needs were more important, frankly, than finding ways to show your leftist credentials.
That's a dead world.
We don't live there anymore.
But every once in a while, if you look in the right place, you can find a company that still wants to do business the American way.

So let's put the gun deaths in three buckets here for a minute.
Mass shootings, suicides, and all their violence, gang violence, inner city violence that we've, you know, it's really common.
I see you're skimming over accidents, accidental deaths.
There are a few accidents.
It's probably more than the mass shooting thing, but also it is.
But, you know, again, a small piece of the puzzle.
Yeah.
So suicides, I think the mental health stuff would really be, could really make a difference there.
You know, I mean, again, these are usually people who aren't trying to do harm to anyone.
They just feel lost and despondent.
Mental health can really help there.
And I think we can improve that.
And that's part of the solutions that the conservatives usually talk about.
When you talk about actual gun violence, I think just enforcing the laws that we currently have would go a long way.
Let me give you a picture of this guy near the border who ran over all these migrants.
Here's his rap sheet.
Okay.
Criminal history includes aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault against elderly or disabled, assault causing bodily injury to a family member, assault of a public servant, burglary of a vehicle, assaulting, excuse me,
assault causing bodily injury, criminal mischief, driving while intoxicated, evading arrest, detention, interference with public duties, obstruction or retaliation, possession of marijuana, resisting arrest, search or transport, and theft of property.
Is that everything?
Because I heard it was like 40.
There were like 40 items on his rap sheet.
There's so many.
Yeah, this is part of it.
This is just what it includes his criminal history.
The point here is a person with this profile should not have the ability to run anyone over because they're behind bars and their car is not right.
You can't drive when you're put away for the rest of your life because you've done things like this.
And this is the case with many gun crimes where the left says they want gun control, but do they?
Because gun control means enforcing the laws after they're passed.
We have a lot of laws that tell you whether you can have a gun or not.
And when criminals, particularly in inner cities, get caught violating these laws, Soros-based backed prosecutors come in and they say, it's a misdemeanor.
You're free to go.
And then they go out and kill people and then they say, wow, this gun violence is out of control.
If you could, let's say, shave 10% off of the murders in that bucket, gang violence and inner city murder and all those terrible things, it would do much more difference than getting the mass shooting number to zero, right?
It would do much more for our country that would be positive.
More people would be alive.
And that's a priority of mine.
I know that for the left, when you think of abortion policy, you might think it's not, but they tell me it is a priority.
Why wouldn't they care about that?
How many times have we heard?
If it saves one life, this would save many more than one.
Many more than one.
Just keep these people who have violated the law this many times.
Get them out of our faces.
Stop having them harass us on subways, for example.
And maybe the bad things you keep complaining about wouldn't happen so much.

Glenn Beck, Stuper Gear.
Steve Days, Chad Prayer, and me, Pat Gray.
Listen to all your favorite conservative voices at blazetv.com, promo code Glenn.
Pat and Stu on the Glenn Beck program.
You know, I'm getting tired of these right-wing kooks and their conspiracy theories.
Thank you for saying this.
Yeah, I think it has to be said now.
It really does with this gas stove thing.
It's so conspiracy.
It's ridiculous.
They're making things up out of thin air.
No one's opposed to gas stoves.
Nobody is coming after your gas stove.
Please, I mean, listen to these commentators telling you about it.
You might think that the U.S. government is coming for your gas stove.
That is a new and absolutely ridiculous one.
Turns out Fox News and Republicans are up in arms because they say the government is coming to take your stoves.
What Republicans are saying is, damn it, they're going to take your gas stove.
GOP has been stoking a ridiculous new freak out about gas stoves.
No one is taking your gas stove.
The right-wing freakout over the use of gas stoves is merely the latest in a long series of made-up cultural battles designed to enrage and rile up their right-wing and paranoid bases.
Republicans are prone to conspiracy theories, whether it's, you know, the kooky, like JFK Jr. is coming back from the dead to run with Trump or the sort of duplicitous, like this administration's coming to take away your gas stoves.
Republicans have turned a government warning about your health into a lie about Democrats trying to take your stoves.
It gets some bureaucrat saying something that has no power and then suddenly you have Ron DeSantis.
I'm going to protect your guests.
Everybody talking about gas stoves, gas.
It's so stupid.
New York City is moving to snuff out gas stoves.
New York becoming the first state to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings, including gas stoves.
The new law requires all electric heating and cooking in new buildings shorter than seven stories by 2026.
Governor Kathy Kochl and the Democratic-controlled state legislature approved a bill on Tuesday prohibiting the use of fossil fuels for heating and cooking.
The law is the first statewide ban in the nation and goes into effect in 2026 for buildings under seven stories.
Like a house would be under seven stories.
Yeah, my house is eight, but you know, some people have seven-story houses or smaller even.
Some people only have five stories in their house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've heard that.
I haven't obviously seen one, but I've heard that.
This is incredible.
And the speed of this, I think, is what's most amazing.
Like it used to be, I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh in like the, you know, I don't know, mid-90s.
And he was talking about how he thought that, you know, mark my words, they're going to come after your SUVs.
They're going to start saying global warming is this thing and they're going to try to change your cars and get rid of the combustion engine.
And I remember listening to that thinking, come on.
I know.
What are they, they're going to take cars away from Americans?
Like, it just didn't seem possible.
And again, I was young and naive at the time.
To be clear, he was obviously very right on that.
And, you know, but that took time.
You know, I mean, electric cars, you know, we didn't really start seeing massive government subsidies for electric cars for decades.
I mean, this montage came from what, maybe two weeks ago, three weeks ago, a month at the most.
Yeah.
And then a month later.
Already New York has banned them in new buildings.
This is something the left likes to do.
You know, they like, there was something I was reading recently, and it's related to the concept of stray voltage.
Do you remember this from the Obama era?
It was a concept that they used internally to try to introduce into the public conversation ideas that were thought to be crazy, right?
You're never going to get some, no one's going to, even the left would reject us if we did this.
And the way they did it was to float completely ridiculous things that were way outside the Overton window, right?
Way outside the conversation, the back and forth.
We're talking about electric cars.
Oh, we want gas power cars, blah, blah, blah.
That's normal.
Gas stoves, like no one was even talking about that.
And, you know, if you think about gas stoves to get, to sort of, you know, I don't know, boil down the preconceptions a month or two ago, you'd think of people who want gas stoves typically, I would say typically they were on the left, right?
People who were foodies, you know, who really cared about what kind of, you know, way you were heating your food.
Now, if you love to cook, you probably prefer gas, but like that was kind of the, it was part of the food culture, the foodie culture.
A lot of that is left-wing, not exclusively, but a lot of it is.
And those are the people who are typically talking about high-end kitchens who want this specific way to heat, you know, to heat your food.
You know, I don't know.
The average American is, you know, making some spaghetti on a pot.
They don't care if it's electric or not, right?
Just so it heats up, just spoils the water.
Right.
So I don't think, I think if, if anything, if there was a lean there, you'd think maybe it was even to the left.
So what the concept of stray voltage was and these associated ideas is to take an idea that's way out of the conversation and intentionally introduce it in an extreme way that will make everyone go crazy, right?
So you intentionally say the left might be banning gas stoves way past what anyone would say is normal.
And what's the response to that?
And this is the key part.
Conservatives like us say, what the hell?
We told you these people were crazy.
They want to ban gas stoves.
And we go nuts and we say, look what the president's going to do.
Look what the left is going to do.
We raise our voices.
We throw our arms up.
We do all those things.
And then the left, who would normally maybe say, wait a minute, I'm not getting rid of my gas stove.
I love my gas stove.
They see the reaction from the right and automatically take the opposite side of it.
And that moves what was a 90-10 issue in favor of gas stoves into your typical political issue where it's 50-50 roughly.
So they take something that's way out of the mainstream and turn it into a 50-50 issue, which is half of the work they need to do.
And they get it all done at once by just intentionally taking the hit of looking crazy for a couple of days.
And in that period, they just say it's a conspiracy theory.
What are you talking about?
It's a conspiracy theory.
So everyone on their side lines up and says, well, you know what?
Actually, just so you know, I mean, gas stoves are a real problem.
There was this one study one time that's obviously terribly designed and don't look at it very closely, but it said that it was bad.
They did the same thing with partial birth abortion.
It was outrageous.
That never happens.
That doesn't happen.
Stop it.
And then the right started saying, well, yeah, it does happen.
And once is too much.
Can we stop?
Can we agree that when you're one inch from the birth canal, you're a baby, but when you're one inch out, you are.
And then you're not when you're inside the birth canal.
I mean, seems like a basic request.
Yeah.
And we said it loudly and passionately like we probably should, right?
Like that's the Democrats just switched and they're like, oh, yeah, we'll always be able to have an abortion whenever you want.
Yeah.
And it's a real thing that I think the conservatives have to deal with because obviously it is appropriate.
I mean, drag queen story hours, another example of this.
Yes.
No one was talking about drag queens to kids.
Nobody.
Five years ago?
Nope.
And all of a sudden, it became a kid.
But nobody was talking about drag queens five years ago.
No.
In fact, do drag queens exist?
Yep.
They were out there.
They were doing their thing.
We didn't talk about it.
They were in clubs designed for adults and no one cared.
No one opposed it.
I mean, you know, you might not go engage in it.
Drag Queen Story Hours00:04:36
It might not be your thing.
But like, honestly, have you ever heard a conservative say, You know what I'm really opposed to?
A drag queen in a bar for 21 and older.
No.
I've not heard that.
I've not heard word one of opposition to that.
And yet it's so far afield now that numerous actors, musicians, and comedians just participated in an online telethon called Drag Isn't Dangerous with actress Charlize Theron, who went so far as to say it's really, in all seriousness, there's so many things hurting and really killing our kids.
And we all know what I'm talking about.
And it ain't no drag queen.
Because if you've ever seen a drag queen lip sync for her life, it only makes you happier.
It only makes you love more.
It makes you a better person.
What?
That's how far it's gone the other direction.
Not only is drag, is our drag shows not harmful to anybody, but they're actually good for you.
And I'd like to leave Charlize Theron out of this because I'm more opposed to criticizing the star of Atomic Blonde.
But what I will say is that, you know, I think another example of this is transgender children, right?
Like they're even, and we, we, we ran up, we talked about a poll earlier where still most of the left opposes these surgeries and treatments, quote unquote.
I think for surgery, it was 70%.
70%.
So of the left.
It's probably a 50-50 issue, honestly, at this point.
But still, that used to be a 90-10 issue, the 95-5 issue.
Of course, you don't carve children because they think they're the other gender.
What the hell are you talking about?
That's what that was forever.
And then they leaked into, it wasn't, they didn't go for a little bit.
They went for all of it.
They went for every little bit of it.
We're going to go after kids and we're going to transition kids at five years old.
And of course, what do we do?
Rightly, we stand up and say, absolutely not.
No, that's crazy.
You're trying to screw with our kids.
We're going to protect our kids.
And then what happens on the left?
They go from people who probably would have agreed at one point, but then they oppose us, right?
Because we're saying one thing, they have to take the opposite side.
And that pulls this agenda from a five to 95 issue to a 30 to 70 issue in weeks, in months.
Exactly right.
I mean, it really is.
And I don't know exactly how to disarm it yet, honestly.
I mean, we have to keep fighting.
We just ignore these things.
What are the numbers on keeping sexually explicit materials, books or magazines or whatever, out of the hands of four, five, six, and seven-year-olds in schools?
What do you think the polling on that was a short while ago?
It had to be 98 to 20.
And now what is it?
You've got people saying, yeah, they're banning books.
They're burning books.
No, we're keeping books out of the hands of children.
You can still get the book anytime you want.
Go get the book.
In fact, even at a store or a library, wherever adults are buying things, that's where you can find it.
Because you point out, adults are the one buying them.
Kids can actually still even get them.
I mean, we're not even saying they can't get them.
We're just saying the parent has to actually buy them for them, not the school.
Right.
Like that is, again, I don't agree that parents should buy these books for kids, but they could.
I don't think that they would anyone be able to stop them.
They could.
So this is a massive, massive problem right now with our discourse.
And it's the way the left moves the ball constantly on these social issues.
They're good at it.
I mean, they thought this out well, and they predict, they can predict what we're going to do.
And I'm not willing to change what I'm going to do.
I'm not going to sit here and go, oh, well, I'm going to ignore it because that'll get back at them.
No, I'm not going to ignore it.
We have to draw lines.
And I do think that some of these issues have been more stingy to move, difficult, right?
Like they're trying to move this on like, you know, women sports and men playing in there saying they're trans.
And it's like the American people like largely have said no to that so far.
So far.
Yeah, they have.
And that might be because there was such a movement to protect women.
And there rightly should be.
Yeah.
And you guys passed Title IX 50 years ago for a reason to protect women sports.
Old School Democrats and RFK Jr00:02:41
So what happened to that?
And a large contingency of the people who care about that are still in the Democratic Party.
I mean, I think that's partially what you're seeing with the big poll numbers for RFK Jr.
Like he represents in some ways an older school Democrat, right?
A person who would be opposed to the Ukraine war, right?
Like that's what the Democrats would always say.
Like it would always be like, oh, we're the ones worried about communism and Russia.
And, you know, that's why we're on Ukraine's side.
And then they would be now they've just changed to hawks and all of a sudden they're skeptical of Russia and all these things they never were.
There's a lot of people still left in the Democratic Party who are like, wait a minute, I don't want war.
I don't want to be funding a war.
What party is this?
And they're seeing what Biden's doing and running from it to really anyone who will oppose it.
And RFK Jr. is the only one there.
It's interesting.
Of course, he's also got the Kennedy name, which helps.
Triple 8727 back.

She is a big podcast.
I think it's the number two podcast in all of news right now.
And I'm going to be, I mean, obviously, it was in anticipation of my appearance today, which is why it's so high, I'm pretty sure.
They've been anticipating it for like a year or two.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, I've been on a couple of times.
So I'm really, it's really, I am actually the number two podcast.
That's the way I look at it.
But anyway, I'll be on with Megan here in just a little bit, talking about the news of the day as well.
Be sure to check that out if you listen to her podcast, which you should.
If I may just say, young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough, you can stay there, and I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time.
What I'm talking about, Stu, is it's fun to stay at the YMCA.
I will say, until you said the words like that, I didn't realize how creepy the song actually is.
It is kind of creepy.
Yeah, okay.
But a fun little incident at the YMCA, an Ohio man was just charged earlier this year for exposing himself to multiple women in one instance with little girls pleasant or present.
However, he was let go by the judge with no penalty, no consequences, no jail time, no fine, because when he exposed himself, he's so fat that you couldn't see his genitalia clearly.
