Joe Biden’s new FAIL, Fox News ratings PLUMMET, & deep space?!

What may become one of Joe Biden’s most embarrassing moments (which is saying a LOT), occurred this week while speaking outside the White House. Glenn and Stu play the clip, which shows a CHILD having a better memory than the president himself. Plus, in this clip the guys discuss Fox News’ DISASTROUS ratings since parting ways with Tucker Carlson, new developments from deep space, and their current fears with artificial intelligence (AI).

GLENN: Did you see that -- did you see that Joe Biden couldn't -- couldn't remember where he was just a couple of weeks ago, or a week ago?

STU: Can you remember where you were two weeks ago?

GLENN: Well, if I were in Ireland, maybe.

You know. Could you please play cut 17 for me?

STU: That was a long time ago.

GLENN: It was a whole week, Stu.

STU: Yeah. Too much.

VOICE: The last country I traveled. Thinking of the last one I did.

I met with 89 heads of states so far.

I'm trying to think, where was the last place I was, it's hard to keep track.

VOICE: Ireland!

BIDEN: I mean, yeah. You're right. Ireland.

GLENN: Okay? Like a 3-year-old remembers. Ireland! A 3-year-old.

He was like, uh-huh. He gets all creepy. That's right, little girl. How do you know that? Because I was watching you through your windows at night, creepy old man.

I mean, it's weird.

STU: Really weird.

GLENN: Really weird.

STU: Again, if it was six months ago, I mean, maybe.

GLENN: It was last week.

STU: Last week.

GLENN: I can't remember the last time -- it's like me saying I can't remember the last time I went potty. I don't know. Probably a couple hours ago.

Jeez.

And when did I go potty last? Well, you just did, in your pants.

STU: Did you see the comment from Jen Psaki. There's an article, I think it's Axios, about Biden's age.

And they were talking about, you know, how some people notice that he's 43,000 years old. And Jen Psaki, who is his press secretary. They highlighted comments about -- that she had about, what was it?

I think the banking crisis. Okay? You know this is a big announcement from Joe Biden.

Because he did it at 9:15. I feel like, wait. 9:15 a.m. Like, that's notable?

And then she said something like, we should get the exact quote. Like, yeah. He never does something before 9:00.

This is a person who is on his side. Now an MSNBC host, but it's a former press secretary saying.

GLENN: But they often say, he's done with the business of the day, by 9:30.

STU: Yeah. He had a 9:03 Lyft the other day, and he doesn't do anything before 9:00. That only gives him three minutes.

GLENN: But three minutes is an awful lot of time if you're president of the United States.

STU: I will say, that's too much time.

Because when he works, things get worse.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, you may be absolutely right on that.

But listen, he has experience.

Because he's so old. He has experience. If the dinosaurs ever come back, he'll remember maybe how they were fought.

And maybe he'll save us.

STU: Oh, yeah. So Jurassic Park situation plays out.

GLENN: And they are making woolly mammoths.

They're making woolly -- they're remaking. Can someone please watch a movie from time to time? We're doing all the things everything that we've all seen in huge movies. We're like, oh, well, we'd never do that. We're doing it.

STU: We're doing, especially the AI stuff.

We're just like, screw it. You know what, what are the odds? Let's just try all these things, and see what happens.

What are the odds, we make one minor mistake.

Very low. Right?

GLENN: Let's take some of that woolly mammoth DA, mix it with some frog DNA. Put it in an elephant. See what happens.

STU: And on top of that, let's try some gain of function research. Let's give that a whirl.

GLENN: You know what, it didn't work out in China. We should do it in Wisconsin.

Whoops, did you hear about that?

STU: Oh, they're trying to do it in Wisconsin now.

GLENN: No, no, no. There was a lab leak in Wisconsin. But they said -- and they never reported it. And they were like, well, nobody got sick.

You should report that right away. Where like, all right. Bill, I guess if weeping, open bloody sores open up. Give me a call, we'll let everybody know. What are we doing?

STU: That's incredible. We keep talking about it, like as if it's a past phenomena. Hey, they did it, in China.

It's still imagine there's been nothing that stopped it. The only thing that happened, we're focusing on it more.

So maybe there's a lesser chance that we directly fund it. Outside of that -- I think the word directly is key.

GLENN: No, no, no, no. We weren't directly funding it last time.

STU: Right. I think there was less of a chance we're doing it now. I think we'll stay the indirect route.

GLENN: Okay. I feel much, much better.

I don't know if anybody saw this, it's in our show prep today. If you get our show prep at GlennBeck.com. You'll get all the news that you need to know. And I'm kind of bypassing a lot of the news. Because it's Friday, right?

You know the world is on fire, why do I have to tell you?

Honestly, if you're not prepared at this point, what use -- what use is me saying, hey, by the way, have you seen the dollar crash even more?

No. There's no real reason for that. Just enjoy your way into insanity.

For those that are prepared. Let me tell you what they found with Deep Space. Now, listen to this.

Before I read this sentence. Can we just stop writing things in the news? And pretending that everyone knows.

You know, how like -- you know how like, when they were like, I can't think of any of the terms. All those terms. The woke terms, that came up.

Like what the hell is that word?

And everybody was writing it in their news articles. And we're like, I don't even know what that means.

STU: Yeah. When they introduce new language like that. That's often how it plays out.

GLENN: And things like, we're thinking in third grade now, your little girl can be a boy. And we're telling them that, and we're showing them what to do with all kinds of vegetables and their private parts.

STU: You mean gender-affirming care.

GLENN: Yes. Sorry. Sorry.

And you're like, wait. Am I the only one that doesn't know this?

No. No one knows this, except the experts.

And they're all pretending, oh, this has been going on for a long time.

Let me read this sentence. Thousands of deep space radio signals have made their way to earth.

50 of them are repeating sources.

Hold it. What?

Isn't that one of those things that we're looking for?

You know, the little space anomaly. It's like, help! And you're like, I think I heard help. But listen again. Anybody else calling for help?

Nope!

Okay. So that was just -- that was a weird thing that it sounded like somebody was crying for help.

Okay? We got that all the time. Repeating. Help. Did you just hear someone cry for help? Yep. I heard it again. Help!

Okay? When it repeats, that's something that we should probably know about it. Recently detected were 25 new repeating sources. Known technically as fast radio bursts from the depths of the universe. The project uses high-powered radio telescope in British Columbia. Oh, this is a Canadian study. Oh, forget it. Never mind.

All right. And Tucker Carlson.

STU: Oh, you just -- the entire country, you just blew off there?

GLENN: Well, have you seen what's going on in Canada?

STU: They did elect Trudeau.

GLENN: Yeah. So I'm not -- I'm not really sure, if we can take that.

Let me tell you about Tucker Carlson's video. This morning, he released it yesterday, or night before last.

72 million views. 72 million views.

I think that's a little higher than the ratings he had at Fox.

72 million. Now, that should give you great hope. Because that's not just the conservatives spreading that one around. That tells you, an awful lot. When you couple 72 million views, with what were the ratings?

Night before last, there, Stu?

STU: Gosh. I don't have the numbers in front of me. But they had dropped to the lowest level since 9/11.

GLENN: I'm sorry. What?

You mean this last September 11th?

STU: No. 9/11/2001. Yeah, we're going back to almost the '90s.

GLENN: Wow! They have not had ratings that low, since before 9/11.

STU: Yeah. Yes. Glenn, this will hit maybe not many people in the audience.

But will hit you.

GLENN: Hmm.

STU: The ratings on Fox News Channel. In the 8:00 p.m. time slot.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Were lower.

GLENN: Lower.

STU: Than our ratings at CNN Headline News.

Now, there --

GLENN: And only people that watched that, were people who were trapped in an airport!

They were trapped. They were like, I -- I guess I watched his show. It didn't have the sound on. So I really enjoyed it.

STU: Yeah. That --

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Jaw dropping.

GLENN: What was the number.

STU: It was in the 130s, I think, in the demo. Which is again, I think what they actually care about.

GLENN: In a country of 350 million people. One hundred -- 135 --

STU: Thousand, something like that --

GLENN: Let's just be fair, 140,000 people, between the ages of 25 and 54, were watching Fox News.

That's not good.

STU: Yeah. And I don't know who hosted it. I know the first night was Brian Kilmeade.

This is not Brian -- anti-Brian Kilmeade sentiment. They like Brian. They watch him every morning.

GLENN: I feel bad for Brian. Brian, when they called him up at Friday morning. They said, hey. You'll fill in for Tucker Carlson tonight.

He must have went, oh, good God, not me.

Why am I the one?

You're just testing out the guillotine. That's all you're doing. No problems.

STU: It's an impossible thing for Brian. But it's an amazing thing.

People are telling Fox news. Hey, this is not okay.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
