So, Satan shoes in the news.

Also,

the big gun control announcement from Joe Biden yesterday.

Had a lot of things to say,

a lot of lies to tell.

Every day, the guy stands up and bald-faced lies to the American people.

Every day.

It's unbelievable.

We've got that and lots more to talk about coming up in one minute.

The Glenn Beck program.

If you're a fiscally responsible homeowner, there's no reason right now that you should be paying a higher percentage on your mortgage than you should be.

I mean, we say, we talk about this all the time.

Mortgage rates are at all-time lows, but have you taken the 10 minutes to give American Financing a call and find out if a refinance is the right option for you?

If not, do it today.

Not only are they really low rates and they're not going to get last forever.

I don't think they can get any lower than they are.

You'll probably,

you know, I mean, if you don't do it today, we're just going to keep harassing you all next week.

So, I mean, just get it over with.

So, we shut up.

We're also not going to shut up.

There's a lot of money at stake here.

for you.

You could be saving hundreds, maybe even as much as $1,000 a month in difference

as what you're paying now.

Think about that.

It could be $12,000 in your pocket.

It's a lot of cash.

Why not knock out

all these financial things today?

Get it over with because this is going to be the biggest one.

It's your mortgage.

It's a big deal.

Lower that percentage rate.

American Financing works for you, not the bank.

They could change your life.

I have a mortgage with American Financing, and that's in the twos.

In the twos.

Who thought that was possible?

Call American Financing 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

First of all, first of all,

first of all.

It's Pat and Stu.

Pat of the Pat Gray Unleashed program, which you can catch immediately before this or anytime during the day on podcast.

And Stu of Stu Does America, of course.

Which you can

see at 8 p.m.

Eastern on the Blaze Tuesday.

8 p.m.

Eastern.

Not immediately preceding the show.

No, later on after the show.

But then the podcast hangs around all day, too, so please check it out.

By the way, Glenn, we expect to be back on Monday.

Okay.

We hope so.

He's been going through a family crisis and hopes to be back on Monday.

I'm sure he'll be filling you in on

that and what the week has been like.

And I know it's been a tough one, so your prayers are greatly appreciated, and I know they mean a lot to him.

So feel free to continue if you choose.

That would be very much welcomed.

So, did you see

the Biden speech yesterday?

All of you did.

Yeah, it's great.

It was great.

Lots of good stuff in there.

Lots of good stuff.

Lots of fun, fun, common sense gun reform.

That's what I was thinking.

Common sense.

This is common sense.

And you know what?

These people who talk about the Second Amendment, this has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

No.

I love the Second Amendment like my own

grandfather, like great-great, because it's pretty old.

So I love the Second Amendment like it's my great-great-great-great-grandfather.

I really do.

I love it.

It's just that, you know, there's some common sense things that need to be done.

Oh, and eventually, great-great-grandmothers and fathers pass away.

Thank you.

And we still love them, but they're not here anymore.

That's just like the Second Amendment.

Uh-huh.

We love it so.

However, get out.

That's essentially what they were saying yesterday.

You mentioned common sense, and we mock this often because that's what they use.

Can we get to, by the way,

the Biden gun shows, Sat7 from Pat's List?

Because

in some ways, he actually is proposing common sense gun reforms.

And I want to...

And in other ways, he's just flat out lying

through his communist teeth.

And this clip in particular, he's doing both of them, I think.

Let me explain why, because

it's not how they mean it, common sense.

Here is Joe Biden on gun shows.

Most people don't know.

You walk into a store and you buy a gun, you have a background check.

But you go to a gun show

and buy whatever you want, no background check.

No.

What?

No.

That's terrible news.

Yeah, it's not true either.

It's not true at all.

It's not true.

It's a total lie.

Now, I have purchased a gun.

at a gun show.

Oh, have you?

I have.

And so you just walked in and they gave it to you and you left.

They threw it at me.

It was a dry job.

Did you even have to pay for it?

They didn't even care if you paid for it.

All they asked is if, look, you don't have to pay for it as long as you promise to murder innocence.

And I was like, okay, I'll go out and I'll find some.

No, I got a background check, went through the entire process.

The overwhelming majority of gun show sales go through this process.

Only private sales.

Like if I'm selling a gun to Pat, I am not a dealer.

I do not have the

licensed.

I am not a licensed dealer, right?

So I am not the type of person who has the

resources or how would I get a background check on someone if I'm selling one gun?

I'm not a dealer.

If I'm giving it to my son, for example, he's a little too young, but when he grows up, if I'm like, you know what?

Zach wants a gun and I have this one.

He can have it.

I'd have to go do a background check on my son.

Like, there are reasons why there are a very, very, very limited amount of gun sales that do not go through background checks.

But I went to a gun show, but I think the common knowledge,

the common sense says what he's saying is true, right?

Wait a minute.

You could just walk into a background, you could just walk into a gun show and buy something without a background check, buy whatever you want.

If that was the law, there would be

outrageous and people would be upset about it and want that law changed.

It's just not true.

So a common sense gun reform based on a lie is not a common sense gun reform, though that is what they're trying to pitch it as.

They're trying to say, okay, well, a common sense, I think it's very common.

It's part of common knowledge, people believe that you can go to a gun show and buy whatever you want.

I think that's the only thing.

Because they keep repeating this lie.

The media says that they do believe it.

They do believe it.

It's common knowledge.

It's just not true knowledge.

It's not actually a fact.

At a gun show, a private,

like a private gun owner can sell to to another person, right?

Isn't that what that can happen at a gun show, I think.

It can happen, yes.

And that has happened where a private seller sells to somebody who came into the gun show.

It's so

minor, though.

It's such a small percentage of sales.

It's such a small, you know, I was talking to someone at the Heritage Foundation who testified in front of Congress a couple of weeks ago.

And I asked her, I'm like, is there an argument?

And I don't believe this, but again, your job as a host is to ask questions that you think might be interesting.

And And I said, is there an argument to say, hey,

this is such a small percentage of sales.

It is such, it is not an issue in this country.

It really isn't.

I mean, it's basically nothing.

Yeah.

Do we know of any gun crime that has been committed from a person-to-person sale without a gun background check at a gun show?

I don't know of it on the top of the game.

I've never heard of it.

Never heard of it.

Is it possible that it's happened?

Sure.

Of course it's possible.

It's very unlikely that it's certainly not a big, it's not a big factor in our overall crime problem.

That is the big, the big issue here.

And I said to her, I said, Amy Swear is her name.

And I said, Amy, is there an argument to say maybe the right just gives up on that?

They use this as a talking point all the time.

And it's such a small percentage of sales.

Maybe there's a way that we make it easy for

a background check to go through on private sales.

I don't know.

You'd have to come up up with a whole new system.

There's all sorts of logistics in there.

Is there an argument?

And she agreed with me.

No,

you can't give one,

I want to swear inch to these people on this issue because they will take a mile every single time.

You can't move a centimeter on guns because their goal is not a common sense reform.

It is another step down the road to eventually have all of them gone.

That's what they want.

They're not going to tell you that, though, occasionally they will.

You know, we occasionally will hear both of them tell you that.

I will say, it would be nice to have that argument completely eliminated.

Right, that's what I want to say.

But they'll still lie about it.

They'll still say.

They'll still say it's happening.

It can happen.

And then they'll find the next thing.

Like, ghost guns is the new one.

Now, ghost guns.

Look,

if you're a criminal and you want to go kill someone, there are much easier ways to get a gun, right?

There is no reason for you to put it together in a kit.

Now, yes, it has happened.

Some people have done it.

They do sell some of these things.

Some shootings have occurred with these types of guns.

But again, it's a minor, minor, minor percentage.

It's much easier to go through a neighborhood and break into somebody's house and look for guns.

You're much more likely to find guns doing that than going through the whole process of trying to build one.

Yes, you could do it.

It is possible.

They have kits that make it somewhat easy.

And the kits have directions.

And the kids have directions.

Biden said so yesterday.

There are directions.

Oh, really?

Really?

Huh?

A kit with directions.

Amazing.

That's incredible.

But like, we are, this is a society that we are constantly told cannot figure out how to get a driver's license to vote, but they're going to build their own guns?

Really?

It's so over the top insane.

It is.

It's ridiculous.

They know, I think they know they can't really do much of anything.

If you look at the six things he wants to do, very few of them, some of them are like, we're going to recommend to states that they do things.

It's like, okay, that's not even, that's not barely an executive order, right?

Some of it really was nonsensical, but they're going after the ghost guns.

Probably the biggest thing they're going after are these

stabilizing grips as they're associated to pistols.

Yeah, the pistol brace.

Yeah, because

those have become relatively common.

Again, they're not involved in a lot of crimes at all, but they have become relatively common weapons for law-abiding citizens to own.

And so that, therefore, you know, I think part of that is because they know there's always a chance they're going to ban assault weapons.

So if you have, you have it, you get a similar feel from one of these weapons as an AR-15, though it's not an AR-15.

It is a different type of weapon.

It is a pistol.

It just feels somewhat similar.

So you get kind of some of the, you get some of the package of an AR-15 without having to buy an AR-15 because you know they might be coming to your door to take your AR-15.

And there's other reasons too, to

own them.

But they're good weapons and they are very effective,

particularly for females to be able to push back against attackers.

You know, I mean, you know, you want to be able to hit the guy running at you and you want to be able to stop them.

And that should be something that should be,

you'd think the left would care about if they, they're so feminist and they care so much about these evil men that they tell us are raping people all the time and attacking people all the time.

And when it comes down to it, they don't seem to want to give any protection.

They want to defund the police and take away the guns.

Yeah.

And he continued with his false arguments.

Cut number two.

From Joe Biden.

Nothing I'm about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment.

Nothing, nothing.

They're phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from what we're talking about.

He knows phony arguments.

He knows.

But no amendment.

No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.

Oh.

You can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater.

We call it freedom of speech.

From the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own.

From the very beginning, the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren't allowed to have weapons.

So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we're recommending are contrary to the Constitution.

Gun violence in this country is an epidemic

would you be arrested if you yelled fire at a crowded theater no i don't i don't think so would you be arrested though if you yelled uh

the constitution

does not say that a person can shout yell wolf in a crowded theater yeah okay so you can't yell wolf in a crowded theater but but you can yell fire i think you can you can yell wolf uh because particularly when there is a wolf in the theater i've had several theaters experienced with wolves where there's a pack pack of wolves running through the theater.

That's scary.

And thank God Nancy Pelosi was there to yell wolf.

God, she is awful.

By the way, I should point out, as we're telling you that Nancy Pelosi sucks, there's something called a Nancy PelosisucksPen.com that is available for you to tell everyone at work that Nancy Pelosi sucks.

It's NancyPelosisuxPen.com.

By the way, David Harsani addressed the exact issue you're talking about, Pat, about fire in a crowded movie theater.

This is a national review yesterday.

So Biden said, you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech.

Harsani, who's, by the way, an absolute expert on the Second Amendment, wrote an entire book about the history of guns, and he goes into a bunch of this stuff today, but he says, you absolutely can.

This is probably the weakest and most infuriatingly overused analogy used in effort to restrict rights.

The line taken from Oliver Wendell Holmes in the decision, Schneck versus the United States, and subsequently repeated by thousands of censorship apologists since, was at the heart of one of the most egregious violations of free expression in American history.

The Schneck decision allowed the Wilson administration, dun, dun, dun, Woodrow Wilson,

to throw anti-war activists in prison for violating the Espionage Act of 1917.

It's difficult to think of

a more legitimate exercise of political expression than debating war and peace.

In any event, Schneck was basically overturned by the Brandenburg v.

Ohio decision.

We've heard a lot about that one recently, which found that the First Amendment protects speech unless it is likely to incite, quote, imminent lawless action, which yelling fire in a theater does not.

So you actually can.

Yeah, I don't even, I don't recommend it, but you actually can yell fire in a theater.

And what about Wolf?

But you cannot yell

under no circumstances.

Can I yell coyote?

Coyote!

Can you, is that okay?

I appreciate it.

I just yelled it on the radio.

Am I going to be arrested?

You can.

Oh, my God.

My understanding is you cannot yell any four-legged furry animals on the radio at any point.

Really?

Yeah, please don't test it because you already did the coyote thing.

That's already a First Amendment violation.

Oh, man.

But if you're in a crowded theater,

do not yell, you know, poodle because that is definitely against the Constitution.

Definitely out.

All right.

Triple A 727 BECK more patents too for Glenn coming up.

Now, if you could pay to get compliments every single day, would you do it?

I mean, especially if they were guaranteed.

10 seconds.

Station ID.

Okay, so

the president continued his assault on the Second Amendment, despite the fact that he says it's bizarre to even bring up the Second Amendment as he's trying these gun control measures.

He called it, he said that this was a national embarrassment, what's going on right now.

Let me say it again.

Gun violence in this country is an epidemic, and it's an international embarrassment.

You know, we saw it again last night as I was coming to the Oval Office.

I got the word that in South Carolina,

a physician

with his wife, two grandchildren, and a person working at his house was gunned down, all five.

So many people, so many of the people sitting here today, know that well, unfortunately.

You know,

they know what it's like when the seconds change your life forever.

I've had the seconds change your life.

The seconds forever.

The pleasure of getting to meet in awful circumstances.

Many of you, many of you who've lost your children, your husbands, your wives, you know,

they know what it's like to bury a piece of their soul deep in the earth.

We understand that.

Mark and

Jackie, I want to tell you,

it's always good to see you, but not under these circumstances.

I want to say before I introduce the rest of the folks.

It's not always good to see them.

What a lot of people have not been through,

what they've been through, don't understand.

It takes a lot of courage to come to an event like this.

Does it?

They're absolutely,

absolutely determined.

That's asinine.

It takes a lot of courage to come to a gun control announcement.

At the Rose Garden?

At the Rose Garden garden with a gun control administration no what would take a lot of courage is to come to a second amendment rights announcement that would take some courage

or the other way around right I mean a second this is constantly what happens right they this is just an echo chamber on the White House lawn yes right what would take courage is is coming to a celebration of the Second Amendment that that would take some courage yeah going to this thing where they're trying to limit your gun rights, that doesn't take any courage.

It's the prevailing theory of these people, of these elites that are in office.

Everybody wants gun control.

So

I'm courageous to go to a gun control announcement?

No.

No.

Well, he was all over.

Again, this is Joe Biden trying to actually speak.

Yeah.

They're having a difficult time of it, by the way.

Yeah.

I mean, like,

I mocked it when he was doing it, but it's like, to say, like, it's always great to see you, but not never under these circumstances.

It's like, well, wait, then it's not always great to see them.

I don't, I, what are you saying?

I don't.

It's so frustrating.

Mark and Jackie, it's not good to see you today.

Hey,

I don't like it today.

I don't know why he was so official.

You weren't here.

I really wish you were.

Go home.

He's just a crotchety old man at this point.

He's the worst.

Who's having a real difficult time getting through the most basic functions of his job, which is a concern?

a concern yeah for some for some for some of us others just don't care at all they don't care

There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck program.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

We're going to come back to our discussion on guns and

Biden's big announcement yesterday.

But

first,

I thought we'd chew the fat with Jeffy.

I mean, we have breaking news.

We have breaking news.

I don't know if you know this or not, but Prince Philip is dead.

Yes, I did have.

Yes, since there's wall-to-wall non-stop coverage on every single network.

Well, That was a shock.

Yeah,

only 99.

He was struck down in the prime of his life.

In the prime of his royal life.

At just 99 years old now.

That's just because the queen is all alone.

Just her and a thousand servants.

That's it, though.

All cooped up together in that

castle.

I know.

I don't know how she's going to do it.

That's tough.

And lonely.

And Charles has got to be really ticked.

Right.

Because he's not the one that

he wanted to die.

I'll tell you that.

Because he's just a prince himself.

That's right.

Prince Philip.

So you're alleging he wants his mother to die?

There's no doubt about that, man.

He's been wanting that for a long time.

He wants that throne desperately.

It's such a strange thing to see the coverage of it.

I mean, again,

A, this is the United Kingdom despite Britain.

I don't know.

I hear about it too, the Prince Died?

I've heard, yeah, because it's everywhere.

It's Britain.

It's pretend.

I don't care.

Pretend is the perfect word for it.

It's like a little show.

It's like a little kid having a tea party, except they've just elevated it over an entire nation.

Right.

And it costs the taxpayers billions of dollars a year.

And they all admit it basically it's for nothing except tradition.

Right.

Like, ah, we used to like, and again, like, the tradition's a bad tradition.

There's a lot of bad things that came out of this process.

Monarchies are bad.

In fact, they finally had to do the Magna Carta to take away some of the power of the king because they couldn't stand them.

him.

Any of them.

They just don't.

They were all power hungry.

And now you keep it going even when it ended 200 years ago?

Bizarre.

It is weird.

It's bizarre.

It is weird.

You know, another thing that may or may not be real or pretend

is the new Alex Jones video that was.

No, you're right about that.

It may or may not be real.

I know it was posted under

banned video, but we were fortunate enough to get it.

It's so weird.

It seems like everyone posts their videos now.

They're just like, this is definitely getting pulled off the air.

It's like, well, it is.

Well, Alex is pulled off of everything.

He's been pulled off of his actual accounts.

However,

if the

person was banned, I don't.

It appears in this video that he's lost some clients, too.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You'll see in the video.

Although, I thought they were his supplements.

Okay, I got to see.

Yes, he was selling his own supplements.

Yes.

Okay, well, let's see.

So if you see the video, and this is Alex

rescuing children,

if you're watching on Blaze TV,

Banned video.

You got a car seat for the dude?

You got a car seat?

That's illegal, bro.

Where are you taking these kids?

Where are you taking these kids?

You have a car seat.

That's illegal.

How is this Christian?

Here comes Ali Alex in his pot.

Don't let it go with the car seats.

You're violating Texas law.

Who is this right here?

Hey, you got no comments.

You got to try to get out of here.

You're going to go in there illegally.

You're about to go to the bathroom.

You got your children in there.

You You got those.

Who are you?

They're the children.

They're smuggling children.

Are you part of these children?

You gotta be legally in that vehicle.

You're not a part of this organization?

Dude, what happened to his diet supplements?

That's

now you're smuggling these kids.

Where are you?

Where are you taking these kids?

Sir, identify them.

This is the match of smuggling.

This is literally human smuggling.

These are children.

Where are you taking these kids?

And now, sir, I thought he doesn't go to the other side of the cart.

your seatbelts aren't even on.

Where are you taking these children?

Sir, identify yourself.

Who are you?

You hit me, I'll tell you right now.

Who do you work for?

Are you a part of this organization?

No, sir.

I don't know.

So, you know where these kids are going?

You're not sure if you're a part of the organization?

No, no, they came from over there.

Weird.

They're not being checked for COVID.

So you don't know who you work for?

We need to call the police to bring down.

I want to know where these kids are going.

You are violating state laws.

You're not going in there.

You're not making strict sensors.

Identify yourself.

Who are you?

That's the moment of yo.

I mean, Alex, if you aren't watching and you're just listening,

I mean,

and I know that's coming from me.

Yes, that's coming from us who

you have a podcast that has literally the word fat in it.

And I don't know.

That's called chewing the fat.

Yes.

It doesn't say i'm fat no it doesn't say it just people people fill that one in on their own really yeah yeah but wait

i'm i'm absolutely perplexed by that video so 99 chance that's set up i say only 95 i i say it's a 95 chance that's set up the people in the car if they're acting

acted well i mean they seem they seem legitimately surprised by what's happening yeah uh they don't want to look at the camera uh well they're illegal aliens so yeah, cameras probably make them nervous.

So if they are illegal aliens, then it's not a 95% chance it's fake, right?

I mean, if that's a...

What's fake if they actually are illegal aliens?

I think the guy is fake.

I think the guy that

got into the car, that got him into the car, I think it's set up.

Yeah, I feel like...

I feel like they had these people get into the car, had the guy get into the car, and then they were going to stop him.

And they hollered at him.

And Alex, of course, was going to stop that auto-look going forward.

It was more real than I expected it to look.

I mean, he does.

Now, of course, Alex Jones is ridiculously over the top with all of this stuff.

You're violating Texas law.

It's a violation of Texas law.

Thank you, Alex.

I love that.

I'm going to hold this car back.

You can put it into gear if you want, but I'm stopping you right in your track.

He did put it into gear the other direction.

Right.

Seemed to work.

So they were just like basically this camera crew was walking down the street and happened to come across exactly

to believe.

Yes.

Or did they?

So it's not like they're not even saying they were tipped off that this was going to go down here or I that I don't know.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's been a while since I've been to Alex's website.

So I'm not sure what he posted on that.

It looks like it's been a while since Alex has been to his website.

So

what you're picking up is you'd believe Alex Jones has gained weight.

Yeah, he's ballooned.

Oh, he's definitely ballooned.

100%.

He's definitely ballooned.

Yeah.

I mean, the COVID era has been difficult on many of us, I would say.

This is the only video he didn't tear off his shirt.

Yeah.

No.

This is the only one.

And there's a reason he didn't tear off his shirt.

I mean,

let's be pretty clear.

I mean,

he's fatter than me.

Okay, let's not get ridiculous.

Wow, that's quite the accusation.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I mean,

I got carried away on my show, and I actually made that statement, and then I apologized to Alex.

You apologized to Alex.

Outrageous.

You apologized to Alex.

I did.

Alex isn't a co-worker.

I know.

I know, but come on.

To say he's fatter than Jeffy.

Yeah.

But Jeffy was sitting in the same room, and he's been a longtime friend.

You didn't apologize to him.

No, no, I did not.

No, he didn't.

Because clearly,

I went way over the line.

I was completely off base.

I mean, I don't know.

I'm looking at the two kind of side by side here.

Let's look.

Okay.

I don't know.

You're right.

It's closer than you'd think.

I would say it's closer than you'd think.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, obviously, Alex Jones is healthier because of all the supplements, but I don't know

when it comes to Jeffy as far as size goes.

Now, Jeffy, we should point out, is athletically overweight.

Thank you.

Alex is obviously not.

Okay.

All right.

Obviously.

I don't know if we're going to be able to get to the bottom of this.

I don't know either.

I expect Alex Jones to come in to this building right now with a megaphone yelling, I am not as far as Jeffrey Fisher.

You know, let him in.

Let him in.

Let's bring it on.

I'll take that fight.

You think you're actually thinner than him?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, really?

Oh, yeah.

Because

he's shorter than me.

So, I mean,

that's true.

I mean, that's...

That's true.

This would be a factor of a bad thing.

Wouldn't this be an amazing discovery?

Wouldn't it be great to get him here and put them both on a scale?

Not at the same time, obviously, because

there's not a scale that, I mean, you'd have to go to a truck stop for that.

Maybe we'd have an Army scale.

We'd have to bring in the Army Corps of Engineers to get a scale that did something like that.

Right.

But I was looking at some old photos of the crew the other day.

Remember that one

three-week period where Jeffy was inexplicably thin?

Remember that?

I do.

That was weird.

It was a weird time.

And it was a time.

But I wasn't the only one, my friend.

Oh, God, we all look totally different at these pictures.

I don't know who these people are.

I don't know why.

They're all much different.

I don't post those pictures anymore, to be honest.

Yes, but you were actually, you had a good,

you know, 30 to 60 minute period where I would say you were only

regular overweight.

You know, I was in top training mode right then.

Yeah, that's it.

You lost 100 pounds, if I'm not mistaken.

I did, that's correct.

100 pounds.

We can be done talking.

And luckily, though, putting it back on had no negative health effects.

That's the good thing.

That's correct.

You don't have to worry about it.

It's not like you've spent time in a hospital or anything.

No, like every couple weeks now.

So anyway, Alex Jones.

Alex Jones.

How is this reflected?

This is all bounced back to Jeffy.

Well, you know what?

At least Alex Jones is saving children.

What has Jeffy done?

Right.

He's probably the one who is paying for those kids to be in the back of that thing.

Good point.

That can't be proven.

No, that can't.

That cannot be proven.

All right, chewing the fat is where you will hear the defense

of Jeff Fisher, not only about his potential child smuggling, but also his weight.

You'll catch it all there on

your age.

Available wherever free podcasts are sold.

Thank you very much, Jeffy.

Appreciate it.

Triple 8727 Beck is the phone number.

Back in a second.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready to get out of it.

You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place, and with COVID, well, that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.

Here's the thing: there are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a timeshare, but most of them don't, because most of them don't have a team of attorneys and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.

This is a group of attorneys.

That's it.

You know who has that group of attorneys?

Timeshare Termination Team.

They're ready to step to the plate and help you.

Just call 888-get you out.

888-GETYOUT.

Call Timeshare Termination Team today.

Get the process started.

Don't keep putting it off and get stuck with another year's timeshare that you're not going to use.

You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare.

20%.

So make sure you tell them that Glenn Beck sent you.

It's 1-888-GETYUOUT.

Or visit them online at timeshare termination team.com.

It's Patton Stewart Glenn.

Did you see him?

Tiger Woods crash.

He was going 87 miles an hour when he hit the tree or 75.

Yeah.

He was going 87

when he ran into something, when he first made contact.

And then 75 miles an hour when he hit the tree.

That's incredible.

How did he survive that?

They say the forensics showed that he didn't even tap the brake.

Right.

Didn't even tap the brakes at all.

No.

So you wonder, like, did he fall asleep?

Right.

That's what I think happened.

Yeah.

Did he do it on purpose?

Like, I don't think so, but I mean, like, it's like, that's the type of thing to go 87 miles an hour without tapping the brakes around in a 45 mile an hour zone, by the way.

And especially when he doesn't remember.

Or at least he says he doesn't.

He doesn't remember what happened, so it's going to be hard to pin that down.

It does seem like sleep is the most likely.

Yeah.

I would think so.

If you fall asleep, you'd think you'd come off of of the gas, but it's possible, I guess, if you fall a certain way and the gas pedal stays down, maybe hit cruise control on at 87 and the 45.

I don't know.

It's a very, very strange story.

And

he should never get in an automobile again.

I mean, he's got to stop getting inside of automobiles.

It just does not work out.

Does it?

No.

That's how we found out about the whole scandal.

Remember, he was like backing down his driveway and crashed into a tree?

Yeah.

Just stopped driving.

Well, I think he crashed into a tree after his wife put a golf club through the back window.

Is that what happened?

And he's trying to get away from her, and then he crashed into the tree.

So, yeah, he and SUVs don't seem to mix very well.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

It is Patton Stew for Glenn.

Yeah, Prince Philip has died.

That seems to be the

big story.

It's the only news of the day today.

I do not understand the fascination with the American people.

Not at all.

Now, Now, I guess, like you'd say, these are elevated celebrities in Great Britain.

And if you're in Great Britain, maybe you care.

But I don't understand why our media cares so much about this.

I care a lot.

I guess it's market forces, right?

The only thing I could think of is market forces.

You put them, you put...

Now, look, what's her face?

Megan Markle

is a pseudo-U.S.

celebrity.

I mean, she was on a relatively notable show.

I liked it a lot.

I liked Suits a lot.

I was a fan of that show.

But, you know,

it ran for nine seasons.

It was on USA and had millions of people watching it.

She was a main character in the show.

Now, she was not an A-list celebrity before this, but she was relatively well known.

And, you know, the fact that an American princess, an American actress has become a princess or whatever, you know, however that works.

She a princess or a duchess?

Duchess.

Yeah, sorry, duchess.

It's a big deal.

You know, and like that, you could see why that that would make that part of it interesting for the American people.

Okay, one of our celebrities is now married into the royal family.

Kind of interesting.

Yeah.

Maybe.

But wall-to-wall coverage of a 99-year-old

who just passed away.

Doesn't really even have an impact on the situation.

Like, he's just in the family.

Is it worth mentioning?

Yes.

But wall-to-wall coverage?

I mean, for the last several hours, that's about all they've talked about.

It's amazing.

It really is.

It's absolutely amazing to me.

I've never understood it, and

it just continues.

I really haven't even understood it for the British people because, again, you know, it's not like the monarchy was a good thing.

When was that great for them?

It never, it was never great to my knowledge.

I mean, is there a beloved king that,

I mean, unless Arthur was real, and that's doubtful, They had

pretty much a string of bad guys

for hundreds of years.

So I don't know why they look back on it so fondly.

I don't know why they keep pretending that the monarchy means something to them.

Yeah.

It's really weird.

It's very strange.

I mean,

it was a horror show.

Yeah.

For a lot of the.

And by the way.

I mean, they killed their wives.

They beheaded their wives, these guys.

It really is a strange thing to continue to celebrate.

It is.

And, you know, not to mention, it unleashed awful things all across the globe to all sorts of different people.

And now it's like, well, yeah, but we like when they're, you know, it's kind of cool.

Like, they come out and they do the tea.

And then the tea, the tea in the afternoon.

That's kind of cool.

The tea in the afternoon.

They spend a few billion dollars remembering it constantly.

Right.

You know, I don't, I don't.

Let's just continue to make them the richest family in the world.

Let's do that.

Let's do that.

That's good.

That's good.

That's worthwhile.

It's a worthwhile pursuit.

Okay, well, good luck with that.

This is Glenn Back.

The Glenback Program.

Matt and Stu for Glenn.

All right, we're going to get back into Biden's babbling from yesterday with

the gun control.

It's amazing.

Get some of your thoughts on it.

That and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So if you're like most people, you spend a good chunk of your day listening to

various forms of media.

Let me get you some suggestions.

The Glenn Beck program.

is a good, good podcast.

Pat Gray Unleashed, great podcast to listen to.

Stu Does America, another great podcast.

But how are you going to get this information, this wonderful audio into your ears every day?

It's almost impossible unless you have what I have right here, my Raycons.

Raycons are the best.

Oh, how I love my Raycons.

Aren't they freaking fantastic?

I just love them.

They're just great.

They don't have the dumb dangling thing that pops down before you get a little bit of a drink.

I don't like the dumb dangling thing.

I don't like it.

No, it doesn't have that.

This doesn't have that.

It fits like flush to your ear.

And you could lay down on your pillow.

You could fall asleep, listening to music or whatever you're listening to to go to bed.

You know, maybe a nice book or whatever.

Audiobook is great.

I don't know how I existed before my Raycons now.

They are great.

I love them.

And they come in the handy-dandy little charging case.

And they don't hurt.

They don't hurt your ears.

They fit great.

The sound is fantastic and they cost like half as much.

It really is a life hack.

It is a life hack when it comes to headphones.

All right, where do we leave off on the Biden rambling?

Was it we talked about the national embarrassment, right?

He talked about that.

It's a national embarrassment.

Yeah, and he got applause.

International embarrassment, we should point out.

Okay.

Coincidentally, exactly what Joe Biden has on his business cards.

That he's in international embarrassment.

That's exactly.

Yes.

If he gives you a business card, it will say Joe Biden, international embarrassment.

I like that.

That fits.

It does.

It fits perfectly.

He wants to enact red flag laws.

This is a really good idea, and he'll tell you about it.

Win a little something.

Like this.

During my campaign for president, I wanted to make it easier for states to adopt extreme risk protection order laws.

They're also called red flag laws, which everybody in this law knows, but many people listening do not know.

These laws allow a police or a family member to petition a court in their jurisdiction and say, I want you to temporarily remove from the following people any firearm they may possess.

Oh, what a good idea.

Because they're a danger and a crisis.

They're presenting a danger to themselves and to others.

And the court makes a ruling.

To put this in perspective, more than half of all suicides, for example, involve the use of a firearm.

But when a gun's not available, an attempt at suicide, the death rate drops precipitously.

States that have red flag laws have seen and seen the reduction in the number of suicides in their states.

Every single month, by the way, an average of 53 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner.

I wrote the Violence Against Women Act.

It's in a constant struggle to keep it moving.

We know red flag laws can have significant effect in protecting women from domestic violence.

It's not really shown in the case of the menu.

We know red flag laws can stop mass shooters before they can act out their violent plans.

In theory.

Yeah, in fact.

I'm proud.

Exactly.

Excuse the point of personal privilege we used to say in the Senate.

I'm proud that the red flag law in my home state of Delaware was named after my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, our son, excuse me, Joe,

who proposed that legislation back in 2013.

I want to see a national red flag law.

Is he still talking?

And legislation to incentivize states to enact their own red flag law.

It'd be great to have a national red flag law.

Today I asked the Justice Department to publish a model red flag legislation

so states can start crafting their own.

I can't take it anymore.

There's so much in there.

There was so much in there.

First of all, why didn't he call her Dr.

Jill?

Got to

be really good question.

Complete disrespect.

Disrespect.

Her name is Dr.

Jill Biden, not just Jill.

But so the red flags, the red flag law, we've gone over this before, but basically, this is something that some Republicans are on board with.

And in theory, you can see why it would make sense.

In practice, it makes it has lots and lots of problems.

People who should not be flagged, have their weapons taken away, get them taken away constantly by people who don't like them and falsely accuse them of things.

And so this happens pretty often.

There's very little in the data that shows red flag laws are going to stop mass shootings, are going to stop domestic violence.

The only place you really see

any potential effect in the data is suicides, that maybe you might be able to figure out that there's some effect, though it's still completely unproven.

And you have something.

When you're going to take away constitutional rights from someone, you should be pretty sure about it.

And

it's understandable how this one kind of goes down the road a little bit.

But you'll notice he's not actually really doing anything.

He's saying he wants a commission so that they can form the law that other people can pass.

Yeah, they're recommending that states do this.

Yes.

But he wants a national law.

He wants that states to do it.

He wants a national law.

But he realizes, correctly, he can't do any of that himself.

So

this is him playing to his base a little bit here.

He realizes what he said in the campaign, which is he was going to do all this stuff on day one.

Is it January 20th?

I'm not sure.

My calendar might not be working here, but it seems to be day 70-something.

So, he didn't do any of the stuff he promised, and this is his effort to appease his base.

He promised he was going to do these things on day one.

He hasn't.

He can't do them now because they're blatantly illegal and unconstitutional for him to do them.

He was just lying to his base the entire time.

And now he's in that, he's in a corner, and he can only do a few of these things.

So, let me give you, let me give you this one.

This is another one.

I'm fascinated by this.

The left loves to say this one.

Oh,

they love the Charleston loophole.

It's one of their favorite things to talk about.

And

it's not, of course, not a loophole at all, just like the gun show loophole is not a loophole at all.

But here's Joe talking about the Charleston loophole.

To close the Charleston, what's known as the Charleston loophole?

Like people here, I spent time down at that church in Charleston.

What happened is

someone was allowed to get the gun used to kill those innocent people at the church service

if the FBI

hasn't

didn't complete the background check within three days.

There's a process.

It wasn't done in three days, according to the Charleston loophole, you get to buy the gun.

Okay.

Now this is among the most disingenuous claims he will make in the entire speech.

First of all, there's no

the Charleston loophole is not a loophole.

It was a specifically, it was very specifically designed in the law.

The reason it was designed in the law is because if you don't have what they call the Charleston loophole, you could go for a background check.

The federal government could say, eh, couldn't quite get to that one, and then never let you buy a gun.

Because if the background check doesn't come back,

then you can't get the gun.

So they could basically, and this was happening during the Clinton administration.

They were delaying these things for very long, inordinate amounts of time because they didn't really want people to buy the guns.

So they would just not get back.

Sorry, we just couldn't figure that out.

Ah, quirk in the system.

So

the Charleston law was the Charleston loophole, as they call it, which is not what it's called, but that's their fancy name to call it now.

is based on this idea that the Charleston shooter went to get a gun.

They didn't do the background check for three days.

So he was able to get the gun without the background check.

Now,

the reporting that's happened since the incident shows that he would not have failed the background check anyway.

So it wouldn't have made a difference.

But that's how they're trying to loop this in.

They want to extend the period for the background check to 10 days and maybe forever.

What's fascinating about this is in 2013, the Manchin Toomey

amendment, they tried to push that through.

If you remember that, that was like the sort of the gang of eight approach to gun control in which some Republicans were on board and some Democrats worked with them, Manchin and Toomey being the headliners.

But in that law, what they did was not extend the period for the Charleston loophole, quote unquote, was to shorten it to only one day.

Why?

Well, when they put the three days in, it kind of made sense, right?

Three days.

Now I can get a background check on anybody in five minutes on the internet.

There's no reason for it to take one day, let alone three days or 10 days.

There's no reason for it to take that long.

A background check can be instant at this point and is for most people.

Now, most of them just go through within minutes.

And of course, obviously, that should be very easy to do at this point.

The year is 2021.

So they wanted in 2013 to shorten it.

And by the way, almost every single Democrat in in the Senate voted for it.

Now it's the quote-unquote Charleston loophole.

It's not a loophole.

It is designed so that the government doesn't get in the way of your constitutional rights by just running out the clock.

And it should be shortened to, honestly, an hour.

Maybe there's a delay in the system.

Maybe someone kicks the Ethernet cable out somewhere in Washington, D.C.

Okay, I'll give you a little bit of time.

Three days is ridiculous.

This is the 21st century.

What Obama was doing was continually telling people, ah, yeah, the computers are down.

Yeah, computers are down.

Darn it.

Can't improve it.

Oh, that computer system is just, we can't get it to work.

It's one of those dial-up things.

Remember that?

We have net zero from that.

And

we're running Alta Vista here, and we just can't.

I had Lycos.

Oh, you had Lycos.

Yeah, and it just won't.

It's

slow.

It's a dial-up prodigy account right now.

We're doing that.

It's exactly the same.

We should at least least upgrade to AOL.

Right?

Let me give you another complete and blatant lie.

This is Joe Biden telling you, give me a little history lesson about what weapons you could buy back in the day.

From the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own.

From the very beginning, the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren't allowed to have weapons.

It's an interesting phrasing there.

You couldn't buy any weapon you wanted, and certain people weren't able to buy weapons.

Well, part of that is true.

Let me give you this.

This is is from David Harsani.

He's the author of First Freedom, A Ride Through America's Enduring History with the Gun.

It's a history,

it's exactly what it sounds like, a very detailed history of firearms in the United States, going back to the founding.

He says, I wrote a book.

on the history of American guns, and never once did I run across any law that restricted Americans from owning any weapons they desired, unless we're talking about blacks or Indians, because most gun restrictions in U.S.

history have been employed to unarm the people who need weapons most.

So when Joe Biden's like, oh, we'll go back.

Certain people were limited from buying guns.

Yeah, blacks and Indians, that's who was limited from buying guns.

Okay?

And no weapons were

restricted back in the day.

He continues, the idea of the federal government conducting any kind of domestic gun policy whatsoever would have been a completely alien concept to anyone before the 1930s.

Even then, no specific types of guns were banned from use.

It really wasn't until 1986 that the fully automatic guns were effectively banned by the federal government.

Wasn't the machine gun banned in the 30s?

Some of that was.

And that's what he's referring to when he says the 1930s.

But really the ban ban came in in 1986.

And that was obviously during the Reagan administration.

And something I also believe is entirely unconstitutional.

It's a whole different story.

And you might not like the results of that.

I think that's why most people are okay with it, because people don't really want people to have fully automatic weapons.

Not sure how you can ban that with the Constitution the way it is.

A guy in Texas a few years ago was suing on that and it's been challenged many times in the court.

And I

think they're right, frankly.

I don't think you can ban automatic weapons under the Constitution.

You can amend the Constitution to ban automatic weapons.

You can do that.

And maybe that would pass.

I mean, it's not impossible that the people, even conservatives, would be like, yeah, I don't really like those.

But

frankly, that's a whole different story.

The bottom line is that this is yet again another false statement from Joe Biden yesterday.

And he had some other bizarre things that he said.

This is Sata 4

from Pat's list here.

I don't know.

I always thought it was the ATF.

You tell me what it is now.

Finally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

hasn't had a permanent director since 2015.

So who are you going to put in there?

Today,

I'm proud to nominate David Chipman to serve as a director of the AFT.

The AFT?

David knows AFT well.

It's ATF, Joe.

What is the AFT?

Actually, it's the American Federation of Teachers, which is probably what he was thinking about most of the time since it's like a union.

But again, and this guy, by the way, is no,

he's not going to recognize the Second Amendment in the way you and I do.

Let's put it that way.

He's

Dana Lash mentioned that she expects him to be one of the most activist ATF directors or AFT directors in history.

So looking forward to that one.

That's going to be a lot of fun.

Yeah.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn, 888

727 BECK.

Let's go to Chris in New Hampshire.

Hey, Chris, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stew.

Hey, pleasure to talk to you, gentlemen.

We'll get straight to the point.

No, the whole idea about the ghost guns is, in my opinion, just ridiculous because I'm sure a lot of the audience that listens to this fine program would know, but for those that don't, it's not as easy as just ordering it and it comes in a box of Legos that says three plus.

You have to have a router,

the jigs, the bits, all that stuff, or a drill press and an XY axis device.

It's far more expensive.

to do than just going down the street and buying a gun from Joe or stealing it from him.

Right.

And And

this is something that hobbyists like to do.

It's something that if you're into this sort of thing,

it's a fun activity.

People have been doing this for a very long time.

I mean, it's part of American history of people making their own weapons.

But the idea that

criminal syndicates are going to be like, let's spend three quarters of our resources building guns.

It's so dumb.

It's so on its face stupid.

But the ghost gun thing sounds scary, I think, to most people.

It just sounds like it could be bad, and that's why they're trying to take advantage of it, I think.

Okay, I was going to ask him, he's gone, but I was going to ask him if he's built his own gun.

That would be an interesting thing to try.

Maybe we should buy one and try to do it.

I would have no idea.

I mean, I can't do it.

I can't play Lakeia for sure.

No way.

No way.

That's for sure.

Yeah.

I mean, I can't put together a dresser.

How much does a ghost gun cost?

Can we buy one?

I mean,

ghost guns.

Just look that up.

Purchase while we go to Dakota in Michigan.

Dakota.

Ghostguns.com.

You're on the Glenn.

Hey, gentlemen.

Hey, gentlemen.

I formerly worked in the firearms industry.

First off, I want to say you can't buy a ghost gun because they don't exist.

Wait a minute.

No, Joe Biden said they existed.

What are you talking about?

You know, they don't exist.

You can make a gun at home.

It doesn't make it a ghost gun, though.

Right.

I mean, this is their little term.

There are kits, though, you can buy theoretically.

They call them 80%.

What's the term?

You probably know it better than I do.

80% lower.

Yeah.

And so

the idea is that they're 80% of the way, right?

You have to do the last 20% of the work.

Huh, okay.

Correct.

And on some of those, they are still serialized, and depending on your state, you do still have to register them with your state.

Yeah, the funny thing is one of the only places they've been used in crimes

in any large numbers at all is in California, which has laws against ghost guns, quote unquote, that you have to get serial numbers from the state.

Shockingly, criminals don't do it all that often.

Weird.

Yeah.

That's not very nice of them.

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

Why would they not do what they're supposed to do?

So, Dakota.

It's a law.

It's a law.

Dakota, have you ever actually tried to build one of these things?

I have not, but when I was in the industry, I did assist customers with purchasing the parts and everything and getting it taken care of.

How easy is it?

Can an idiot like me do it?

It's not as easy as uh the lust would make you think it is um like the caller before me said you do have to have all the equipment

um but there there's there's resources out there that'll you know walk you through the steps but it's not as easy as putting a box of legos together

sounds like it's hard yeah uh you've discouraged me from buying ghost guns yeah i'm afraid to buy one because i'm afraid because joe biden's gonna show up at my house uh but i still want to do it and see if i could build one i mean it's be a fun project triple eight 727 BECK.

Everyone's got a COVID project.

Does it say how much it is?

I don't know yet.

Don't know yet.

I'm working on that.

We'll keep researching.

Everyone's building like a porch or a patio in the back.

They're building like, oh, I'm going to build, I'm a carpenter now.

I'm going to make a table.

It's COVID time.

I'm going to build a gun, see how it works out.

This is the Glenback Program.

American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

For just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt.

Now, I know Jeffy can't picture something like that, but in theory, you probably can.

In fact, think about what it would be like to, I don't know, have more money to save.

Think about hundreds, maybe even $1,000 a month in your pocket.

When you refinance your mortgage with American financing, that's exactly the type of thing you could be facing.

Do you have debts?

Well, 2020 was a rough year for a lot of people.

2021, not that much better so far.

It's a good time to make sure you're in as good a shape as possible financially.

So why not consolidate that debt and get it down to something manageable?

Again, American Financing is who you need to call.

Whether you're looking to purchase a home for the first time or wanting to refinance your mortgage, American Financing is the way to go.

Give them a call today.

You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month, and that won't happen though, of course, until you start the process up.

Give them a call.

I have a mortgage with American Financing in the twos.

It's a great place to go.

Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern, 6-state Central, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcast.

It's Pat and Stu, Pat Gray, listen for my podcast.

Pat Gray Unleashed.

You can actually hear it live immediately preceding this program every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern,

or listen to it anytime on podcast.

Same with Stu, well, not at the exact same time, but Stu Does America, 8 o'clock Eastern, and then anytime on podcast as well.

So check out those shows.

Yeah, it's a great idea.

It will make your life better.

Seriously will.

It seriously, if your life sucks right now, this will make it better.

This is probably why it sucks.

You haven't been listening

to these shows.

So now do that.

We were looking into this kit situation, the ghost guns, because that's one of the things that's a, that's Biden's new deal.

The ghost gun thing is, I guess, completely overrunning the country.

So many people are manufacturing their own guns at home and then using them to kill people that he's just got to do something about this.

So we were we started to get curious about, okay, well, how much does it cost and what goes into it?

And we've had a couple of callers that told us it.

It seems pretty complicated.

First of all, you have to have the right kind of equipment to manufacture it anyway.

But here

from every town, which is Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun group, their research found it's possible to buy an AR-15 ghost gun build kit and a lower receiver for as little as $345.

So as little as $345.

I'll bet you that's, you can double that at least.

Right, because you know it's not true.

Of course, whatever they're saying is not true.

That is the starting point with this particular group.

They're lying.

But still, kits for making a Glock type pistol kit with a frame can go for as little as $400.

So are you telling me that you can't build a

Glock cost more to build than an AR-15?

Plus,

if it's as little as, again, you could probably double that price.

So it's expensive to buy these.

Why would you, unless you're a big hobbyist, why would you buy a kit like this when it's more expensive than the gun that's already assembled for you at the store?

I would make the same argument, essentially, about beer,

right?

I know people who brew beer constantly.

Their own.

Yeah, their own beer in their garage, and they make all sorts of different brews, and they freaking love it.

It is an intense, long

process that you make one little screw up and you lose the entire batch.

And

some of the beer is good and some some of it isn't, but they love the craftsmanship of it.

They love going through that process.

They like the process.

They can go to 7-Eleven and buy beer.

It's not the easiest way to get beer.

It's like saying, like, underage drinking is a huge problem.

That's why we need to ban home brewing kits.

It's like, well, it's not what's.

I'm sorry.

15-year-olds are not doing it.

This is a perfect example.

That doesn't make any sense.

So I am currently on a site that will sell ghost guns.

They have a AR-15 full-build kit, which I would assume is everything.

And that's $549.

Now, an AR-15, if you were probably to go buy it now, it would be a couple grand.

So you'd be saving something.

Would it be that much?

Because it used to be that you could get them for like $800.

$800 or $900.

I would think it would be more than that.

But no, yeah, it's going to be less than that, right?

Yeah, it's going to be less than a couple grand.

Yeah.

I mean, I bought mine at the height of when, you know, because I always do this, I buy high and sell low.

And I bought it at the height of the, you know, the Sandy Hook thing when they were talking gun control and all of that.

And so I freaked out a little bit and I went and bought and paid way too much for it.

It was like $1,800.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm looking now

$1,000.

Not two.

Probably around $1,000, right?

So $1,000.

And so you're going to save $400 and you're going to go through this process to do it.

It's

insane.

Okay.

Now you're saying, okay, well, the people that are doing it are trying to avoid the paperwork side of it.

They don't care about the cost.

And the serial number.

And the serial number, right?

They don't want to go through the legal parts of it.

Now, that's not true for almost all of these, but like, let's entertain the idea.

So you are a drug dealer, right?

You are a criminal.

These are the people, generally speaking, who are committing these crimes.

You're in a gang.

Let me give you some of the details here.

What to keep in mind, learning how to build ghost guns.

The first sentence, and I'm a little discouraged here, Pat.

Oh, no.

If your experience with guns is little to none, assembling your own can be dangerous or even deadly.

Wow.

Okay, like right there.

That's probably.

Yeah, that's a downer for me.

It's probably a negative.

I'm not going to overcome.

So,

what kind of tools are needed?

Okay.

Now, you think, like, a gang member and

a screwdriver, maybe.

Right, a screwdriver.

Like, maybe one of those things that come in the Ikea boxes,

like an Allen wrench.

An Allen wrench, a screwdriver, and maybe an acetylene torch.

There's more than

one way to go about building a DIY gun and achieving the best results.

Basic knowledge of common tools is a requirement to do this correctly.

Here are some of the tools you may need to complete your ghost gun: a set of metal files in different sizes.

Now, I can't tell you how many gangs

have huge collections of metal files.

It's very common.

So easy.

Very common.

Coarse and fine-grit sanding paper.

Quality firearm lubricant.

a nylon hammer, since using a metal hammer may damage the frame, a drill press, and vice.

A drill press.

A drill press.

Yeah.

So we're not.

Again,

don't you have a drill press?

I do not.

I do not.

And my guess is just buying the things you'd need to build the gun is going to put it way over the cost of purchasing a final assembly.

My dad had all that stuff in his workshop.

I have.

Zero of that kind of stuff.

I don't even have...

I don't know if I have a regular hammer, let alone alone a nylon hammer.

You don't know if you have a regular hammer.

Hammer might have somewhere.

I don't even know where it would be.

Because Ivy.

If something needs to be hammered at my house, I'm calling somebody.

Hey, we need a nail hammered in here.

Can you come over and do it?

I mean, I really legitimately think of myself as pathetic with these things, but I do have a hammer.

I'm more pathetic than that.

What I do have, though, you're right, is a phone.

Yes.

And someone who we know who will do the things for us and i know that

specialization there's nothing to fight there's nothing wrong with specialization no we come in here and read off of gun gun ghost gun websites perhaps better than like one tenth of a percent of the rest of the population so therefore we work here right and and that's why that's that's right so that's why i leave it to somebody who specializes in hammering things

that's not me it's not we'll kill ourselves with the the hammer.

Do you understand this?

Yeah.

Because

people don't know this, Pat, if you're not an expert, but when the hammer has to go up and down, like multiple times to get a nail in, there's just no swing.

I've seen it happen.

These guys are experts.

And by the way, I should point out, when you're retracting the hammer up,

it's coming toward your body and there's a claw on the backside.

Yeah, you can't stop it.

So if you don't stop, it could go right through your skull.

Right through your stinking skull.

It could.

at any point it could i'm not gonna risk that no way i'll leave that up to the experts

my wife is way better at fixing things than i am that's how pathetic i am yeah no look we don't have a skill set that would be like quote unquote useful in society no that's not what we do quote

useful

Who are you quoting there?

Just a lot of people say that to me.

They say, hey, I don't find you, quote, useful in society.

And now I think that that's a common thing.

Okay, you also need, we're not done, by the way.

Okay.

You also need a rotary tool with a sanding drum, which I, that.

You don't even know what a sanding drum is.

I need a rotary tool with a sanding drill.

Yes, obviously.

Okay.

Then you need a power drill,

which I actually do have.

I do have a power drill.

And you need a completion drill.

It's next to my hammer somewhere.

I don't know.

I don't know where, But you will also need, and I know you have this, a completion jig.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You got a lot of

several completion jigs in multiple sizes.

We should point out that does not finish the job to build a ghost gun.

You also will need a template.

It's mandatory.

The correct template allows both sections of the gun to line up exactly where they need to.

And as everyone who's ever built a piece of furniture knows, it never does.

Right.

No matter what.

That's right.

No matter what,

they don't line up and the thing doesn't work at all, which is why people say I'm not useful in society because for other people, they seem to line up, but not for me.

Now, do they say you're quote not useful in society?

Unquote.

Unquote.

You will need to choose the frame that you want to customize as the base of your ghost gun.

You'll find a diverse selection of products on this website.

Shop by category or brand.

They have this.

This might as well be in Chinese.

I don't understand any of it.

I know.

So basically, they're saying they give it to you 80% done.

You have to do the extra 20%.

Now, for a while,

the federal government was saying if you can put it together within a certain amount of time, we're counting it as a gun.

That was their kind of standard.

So people were getting, these didn't exist for a while.

And that policy changed at one point.

And now they measure it for, I can't remember the exact terminology of the way they measure it.

It's a ghost gun or not.

But now they think you can theoretically put these together in 45 minutes, which is

nuts.

No, no.

If you're you're an

all-somebody who really knows guns, really knows guns.

Now, it's a good thing.

Like, you know, they, they, I have an older car that I bought because I always wanted one from when I was a kid.

And it was, you know, it's a

relatively

very cheap car that barely runs and it always breaks down.

And when I bought it, the guy said, so are you handy with cars?

Because he kind of got the sense for some reason I wasn't when I was like, you know,

does this have the wheel thingy?

Does this have the one that, you know, the one that makes it go back and forth on the road?

Does that have that?

And he's like, you mean a steering wheel?

And I was like, yeah, it has that.

I know how to use that thing.

So

he kind of got the sense I didn't know what I was doing.

And he asked,

to his credit,

I was going to purchase the car anyway.

And he said, just

so you know, like if you don't know how to fix these things or you you don't want to spend, it's a great thing to do.

You can learn about the cars.

You can get under the hood.

And I'm thinking to myself, yeah, but, or I could sit inside in the air conditioning.

That's another option.

Like the car can sit outside where the car lives and I'll sit inside.

And then when I want it to run, I want to turn the key and I want it to start and then I want to go.

That's what I want to do with the car.

I don't want to get under the hood.

I don't want to learn about all the things under the hood.

I don't want to know anything about it.

I don't ever want to open the hood.

I just want the car to go forward and backward when I tell it to.

Yes.

Right.

Yes.

And he's like, I don't know.

Maybe you should consider a different car.

Did he really?

Yeah, he did.

He basically tried to talk me out of buying it.

Now, of course, I didn't listen to him.

And so now I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars to get it fixed by people who know what they're doing.

Right.

But

there is a charm to that.

Right.

If you like, my dad loved it.

A lot of people love doing that.

Yeah.

A lot of people love it.

Yeah.

And so the same thing comes with guns.

you'll learn all the internal components of the gun you're going to learn exactly how the thing works building a gun could be something that could be really rewarding for someone who likes doing that just like if you'd like to brew beer if you're into that kind of hobby and that's usually what it would be yeah i'm sure most of this is people are people who just want to do it they're not trying to hide it from the government per se they're you know i think there are definitely people who don't like the infringements on the Second Amendment that have occurred and buy these things out of principle.

But they don't have any nefarious purpose involved.

Overwhelming majority.

Now, of course, there have been some cases where these things have happened and been used in crimes, just like there have been

Toyotas that have been used in crimes.

Toyotas have run over people.

You don't sue Toyota over it.

You don't ban Toyotas.

Is it illegal to run over people?

Is it?

On purpose?

Yeah.

In how many states?

Four

50.

50.

All 50.

All 50 states.

All 50 states.

And each and every territory has been done.

But when I've seen

terrorists, for example, run over people at a street fair.

You think, man, I wish we had a law.

Yeah, like what?

And we do.

But why then did they run over the people at the street fair?

If there was a law in place,

they wouldn't.

That's a really good question.

It's a really good question.

Because they would stop.

I know.

Just like we know when they're running the people.

They're cars away from these people.

Well, then, you know, they wouldn't run over people.

That's true.

That's true.

Or what if we just limited their speed in some some way?

You know, if we just had like a high-end number that would be the maximum speed you could use.

Or make them wait a whole bunch of days before they can actually take delivery on the car.

What if you did that?

Ooh, that would be because then they wouldn't do anything.

Right.

They wouldn't do anything.

Right.

This is all,

I think it's very much one of these things where Biden is playing to the average person who does not own a gun,

who finds guns to be scary and foreign,

and believes that people will hear things like ghost gun and Charleston loophole and gun show loophole and just basically assume they're true because they're being echoed by the media.

And

they will all say, well, of course there shouldn't be a loophole so crazy people can buy guns in Charleston.

Well, there isn't a loophole.

There is nowhere.

anywhere in any of the code is there an exemption for anything at a gun show.

It's just all made up.

Amazing.

Back in a second.

All right.

If you are minding your own business, looking up at the mating habits of migratory birds in your spare time, as one does, maybe looking to see is there a ghost gun website I can check out?

It's Patton Stew for Glenn.

888-727-BECK.

We're going to get to your phone calls.

Coming up here in just a few minutes.

A lot of interest on the

scary ghost gun situation.

Talked to some people who've actually tried to build one.

And until recently, I'd never even heard that these existed.

This is why it's an effective attack from Biden, or they think it's going to be effective.

People just don't know what it is.

It sounds scary.

It sounds foreign.

It sounds like, oh my gosh, this is really dangerous.

I can't believe it.

It's all rifle.

Same thing.

Yeah.

This is just

a semantics game to try to overturn your freaking constitutional rights.

It's amazing.

And they're so good at it.

The left is so good at it.

This is the Glennbach program.

The Glennbach program.

Glenn should be back Monday morning, bright and early.

Meantime, patents, due.

We've got to finish up our discussion and get to some of your calls on the gun control babblings of Joe Biden and much more.

He also said something very fascinating about the future of air travel.

We'll get to that coming up in a minute.

The Glenn Becker program.

So, you know what we all love more than anything else in the world?

When you put your house on the market and you're trying to sell it, and then you get the great,

great price.

You hit a home run.

You

outdo even your own expectations.

I mean, the market's crazy right now.

I was just talking to somebody who put their house on the market and they got 14 bids in one day.

They wound up selling it for like $30,000 above the asking price.

Nice.

That's kind of nice.

That's nice.

That's nice.

If you have a real estate agent that can help you make these things happen, obviously the market is the market.

You can only do so much, but a real real estate, a good real estate agent, can really make a big difference, even when it comes to staging and how to fix things up at your house.

What do you need?

What work should you do on the house that's actually going to help?

And what is a waste of money?

They can walk you through all of that.

A real estate agent can be a partner partner in

this whole situation.

It's not just someone who's filling out paperwork for you, it's someone who can actually help you get the best price for your house, whether you're buying or selling.

Get the best real estate agent in your area by going to realestate agentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Okay.

Finishing up our discussion on Biden and his gun control legislation, or not even legislation, it's these executive orders that

he's

putting forward.

And just some suggestions to states on doing other things like the red flag laws.

You can't do an executive order on that.

So he's recommending to states that they take up the red flag law situation uh so you found something else interesting in his discussion yesterday yeah there's been this thing that changed

a few years ago i guess where if there was like a mass shooting everyone would say oh geez uh

thoughts and prayers are with the victims like it was a standard thing to say and it was something that is like a just a general

There's people going through tough times, and maybe we shouldn't be talking about politics right now.

But even more fundamentally than that, I feel bad that these things, this happened to these people.

Whether you agree or disagree with new laws to try to correct it,

it makes no difference.

Just saying, hey, I'm thinking about you, I'm praying for you are two really basic human things.

It's particularly important

for people who of faith to say, I'm praying for you.

It's, you know, again, if you're a person of faith, it's like the most important thing you can do.

It's not some flippant thoughts.

You know, okay, my thoughts are with you.

It's a nice thing to say as a human being to another.

But a prayer is something you think is really important if you're a person of faith.

It's basically like the most important thing you can do.

So, oddly, a few years ago, it used to be something that all Democrats would say.

You know, oh, gosh, you know, our thoughts or prayers are with the victims here, but we need to do something.

You know, that was very standard Democratic stuff.

They acted as if they cared about people who believed in God.

Whether they do or not, I don't know, but they acted as if they cared about people who do.

A few years ago, that changed and it started, people started saying, you know what?

I'm sick of hearing about thoughts and prayers.

What does that do?

It doesn't stop these things.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

And we got into this thing where at first it was just people on Twitter or crazy like left-wing writers that would say, oh, thoughts and prayers are not enough.

And then it crossed over into politicians, where politicians would say it.

They'd say, like, you know, thoughts and prayers are just not enough here.

We need to do something.

Now, it's very revealing, Pat, to me, that a person who claims to be of faith would say that praying isn't doing something,

right?

It's a prayer.

Yeah, it's a prayer.

We need to do something.

Actually, if you're a person of faith, praying is doing something.

For sure.

It's vital.

to this.

And you might not agree with that.

You might not believe in prayers.

You might not believe in God.

But like, if you're talking about a person of faith, which all of these Democrats say they are, I mean, listen to Nancy Pelosi.

She sounds like a preacher half the time when she's talking about laws.

And they say, oh, thoughts and prayers.

We need to actually do something.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

Joe Biden took that to a whole new level during this speech, and very few people have noticed it.

I've never, I don't know that I've ever heard a politician ask for this before.

Whether Congress acts or not, I'm going to use all the resources at my disposal as President to keep the American people safe from gun violence.

But there's much more that Congress can do

to help that effort.

And they can do it right now.

They've offered plenty of thoughts and prayers, members of Congress.

Here it is.

But they passed not a single new federal law to reduce gun violence.

Okay, standard.

Enough prayers.

Time for some action.

Wait.

Yeah.

Enough prayers.

Enough prayers?

So you're saying we should stop praying?

This is not thoughts and prayers are not enough.

This is please discontinue the activity of praying.

Yeah.

Enough prayers.

This is from the big-time Catholic that it means so much to him.

Oh, it means so much to him.

It means so much.

He is of deep, deep faith.

Some of the things mean so much to him.

Yeah, not everything, everything.

But clearly, obviously,

thou shalt not, blah, blah, blah.

I mean, who knows what they really meant by that.

Maybe they did.

You know, look, maybe

they don't want all the babies to be alive.

Who needs all of them?

There's so many.

They're so loud.

You're right.

You know?

But that's a whole different story.

And then he essentially tells you to stop praying.

Stop praying.

Enough prayers.

Enough prayers.

That's just.

No, I mean, maybe that was just him

blubbering through another line, which is not impossible.

But this, it's surprising how dismissive these people are over faith now.

It is.

It's just like, ah, your prayers suck.

Stop doing them.

Not only are they.

And I want to hear it from you, Christians.

Yeah, it's really like that dismissive.

And it's because, of course, this is what they have thought the entire time, but were usually used to be smart enough not to say it.

Now they're just blurting it out.

Stop praying.

We'd like that activity to cease, please.

Yeah.

The only thing that is doing something is government.

If government does something, then it's real.

But if it's you praying your prayers, that's nothing.

Again, you might believe that, and that's up to you.

This is America.

But Joe Biden

supposedly is a Catholic.

Right.

And

it used to be that they wouldn't dare say something like that.

But now they just do.

They just do.

It really is amazing.

All right.

888-727-BECK.

Let's go to Kenton in Georgia.

Hi, you're on the Glimpack program with Patton Stu.

Hey, what's up, guys?

Hey.

So I tried to do this about three years ago.

My son had the great idea that it would be fun for us to do this together.

The ghost gun?

Yeah, ghost gun.

Yeah.

I spent about a hundred bucks buying the tools that we needed.

I bought them used because I knew I'd never use them again.

Right.

And we spent about a week watching videos together, figuring it all out

before we dove into it.

It was a nightmare.

It didn't turn out well or it just took too long.

Oh, no, I completely ruined the lower half that we bought because we bought two of them.

Okay.

We ruined the first one.

Then the jig that we were using, which was supposed to be the best jig on the market, completely ruined that.

Oh, man.

So now I still have the second lower in the original packaging in my safe.

Yes, that's.

We didn't even try to get.

But this is what all drug dealers are doing right now.

They're just like, you know what?

Let's just get the jig and we'll get that all set up.

It's like ridiculous.

This is not a core part of

the problem of gun violence in this country.

Absolutely incredible.

And this is exactly how I would expect it.

Thank you, Kenton.

I appreciate the phone call.

Let's try Justin.

Justin, welcome to the Glenbeck program with Pat and Stew.

Hey, guys, how are you doing?

Good.

Anyway, we're trying to outlaw an inanimate object.

Why?

Does it not take a human being to operate that?

And if that's the case,

that the inanimate objects are killing people, why not outlaw them all?

They could potentially kill somebody.

It is a ridiculous flaw in their basic logic.

And thanks, Justin, for the call.

This is the same thing when he was talking about suing gun manufacturers.

Another lie.

Another lie.

First of all, you can sue gun manufacturers.

There is limited shield they have.

And it's limited because if you screw up with their device, like you do something stupid with a gun and misuse it, then they can't be held liable for that.

Right.

And of course, that's- I mean, that makes sense.

Of course, that would be ridiculous.

Yeah.

You know, if you were to buy a car, a Toyota, you should not be able to sue Toyota because you decided to run somebody over.

It's not Toyota's fault.

It's what you did with it.

It's not a crime until you actually commit the crime.

And that's why it would be ridiculous.

The reason why Joe Biden wants it so badly is because he knows he can sue these people out of existence.

You can just file a million frivolous lawsuits, and most of these companies will have to shut down.

And that's, of course, what they want.

Brian in North Carolina, welcome to the Glen Beck Program with Patents 2.

Thank you.

This is an absurd conversation.

I can't even believe we're having it.

The Second Amendment was designed so that we could maintain a militia, not go bird hunting.

Although I like the idea of bird hunting, it's just

as we have progressed in

ways of needing to defend ourselves because those around us who would seek to hurt us have greater ways to hurt us.

We should have greater ways of defending ourselves.

We don't need a 22 short to defend our homes anymore.

Having an AR may be necessary at some point, but you said something a few minutes ago that made a lot of sense to me.

You said that this is more than just for defense, and that's the truth.

The people that are buying these ARs are buying them, yes, for defense, but a lot of them are buying them because it's an art or a skill or a hobby.

Some of them are doing it as a form of an investment for retirement because

money is about worthless anymore.

And so they stockpile guns, not to use them, but to have them in storage for their future.

There's nothing wrong with this.

And if we outlaw every gun in the world, I mean, even Blue Bloods is now even using knives for their murders.

There's not a lot of guns on TV anymore.

People are going to find a way to kill somebody, even if they don't have a gun.

It's absurd.

Yeah, no, it's very true.

And Brian, thanks for the call.

It's true.

Most of the people buying these things are people like the callers we're talking to who are average people who might want to try to do this.

Maybe they're collectors.

You know, there's something you can go buy a table at IKEA.

There's something about building it yourself that the American people have always praised that instinct.

It's always been something that people love.

I have a friend who

loves playing poker and is building his own poker table.

He can go to Amazon and get a freaking poker table delivered in the next day.

But he's building his own because he wants to do it.

There's just, that's just, that is something you can't make illegal.

And of course, it's not going to work even if you do.

The Australian law is the thing that I always loved going back to because they bought back about 20% of the guns in the country.

And it was supposed to really help gun violence.

Showed no effect, by the way.

All the studies afterwards showed that had no effect on gun violence.

But if you were to do that here, you'd have to buy like a hundred million guns, first of all.

Just the cost of that buying buying back 100 million guns.

You take the, the, the way, how would you do that?

Gun owners are not going to, you know, maybe you could get 20% of them back, maybe.

I mean, maybe.

Oh, I doubt it.

Maybe, but I mean, there's some people who probably wouldn't care.

Maybe, I don't know.

But let's just say you could.

Yeah.

What does what does that leave you with?

A country with 300 million guns in it.

It makes no freaking difference.

The people who are going to commit crimes with them are not going to give them back to you.

And the other people, there's still going to be plenty of guns out there to commit crimes with.

So you're going to disarm the

law-abiding citizens is what you're going to do.

Not only unconstitutional, but it is also completely ridiculous.

Let's try Noah, line eight in Texas.

Noah, welcome to the Glenback program with Pat and Stu.

And you have a phone call.

Did we lose him?

He just put his.

Do you believe this?

This guy just put it down.

Let's see if he answers it.

Hello?

Yes.

Hi.

Noah.

Why did you pick up this call and not the other phone that was ringing?

Well, the other one's my business phone ringing, and I think it's more important to talk to you guys.

Right, there you go, there we go.

That's America for you.

The heck with your customer.

All right, go ahead.

All right, Noah, you were talking about you called in on the ghost gun conversation.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, so I've built quite a few of these things, not for anybody else, but only for myself.

And it takes a lot of money investing in it.

And one, you can't, you never do it perfectly unless you have a CNC machine.

The CNC machines that they make for these things run about $3,000.

And that's for the

machine and fits.

And even then, half the time, you don't do it perfect.

I got to admit, I mean, these are precise instruments.

This is not like, you know,

it's going to be very difficult to do on your own.

You've built a bunch of these for your own.

Do you know a lot about guns?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I have a gun store, and so building my own guns is kind of a hobby of mine, and it gives me a sense of pride, especially whenever I'm out shooting them or harvesting animals with them.

And

so that it's kind of just a hobby of mine.

I enjoy it, I take pride in it.

This is a great point because, like, the guy owns a gun store, he can get guns, but he's building them himself because you know it is.

It's a point of pride, it's a cool thing to go through.

Noah, thanks so much for the phone call.

Appreciate it.

We're going to get back to your phone calls at 888727-BECK with Pat and Stew for Glenn in just a second.

First, I got to share

the Biden segment from yesterday where he's talking about air travel and the future of travel in this country.

It's pretty promising, according to him.

When we do invest in research,

what we're really doing is raising the bar

on what we can imagine.

Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast without a single tank of gas

or in a high-speed train.

But on a high-speed train.

But you can go to the move as fast as you can and go across the country in a plane.

Wait, nothing.

Imagine your children growing up

to work and innovation,

good-paying jobs and fields that haven't even been invented yet.

Sounds great.

I tell the kids, the young people who work for me, told my kids, that I go on college campuses.

They're going to see more change

in the next 10 years than we've seen in the last 50 years.

That could be true, yeah.

It could be true.

Sure.

We're going to talk about commercial aircraft.

Oh, okay, talk about it.

Mine is subsonic speeds.

Subsonic.

Subsonic speeds.

No, supersonic, okay, yeah.

Be able to figuratively.

If we decided to do it, traverse the world

in about an hour.

Travel 21,000 miles an hour.

21,000 miles an hour.

So much is changing.

It's really

fast.

That is really fast.

If you're going to go 21,000 miles an hour,

yeah, I hope that you have a special sort of suit because

the

forces of nature are going to tear the plane apart and you're going to be uh falling uh

from whatever height the plane ascended to so an airbus a380 can go 737 miles an hour that's less than 21 000 pass uh the fastest plane in the world right now is the blackbird spy plane which goes 2100 miles an hour But see, I don't even think he meant that.

He meant because he says you can traverse the world in one hour.

So 21, he's talking about going 21,000 miles in one hour.

Right.

I don't think it was a mistake.

I know.

No, he meant it.

Because the Concorde went 1,300 miles an hour.

Right.

Right.

So 2,100 for the spy plane.

Now, Elon Musk has talked about, we do have this thing.

There was a test.

Were you going to space and then come back down?

There was a hypersonic missile test recently.

Yes.

And they're talking about how it's possible you could get up to these ridiculously high speeds at some point.

You know how fast the hypersonic missile goes, though?

China and Russia have them too, and

I think their top speed is like 7,000 miles an hour.

So you're talking about three thousand, no, three times the speed of the fastest missile

that we have now.

Theoretically, right?

If we have something that's going 7,000 miles, it's not impossible we could get something that goes 21,000 miles in the future.

My big problem with it is what a waste of a flight.

If you're going around the whole Earth, you're just landing in the same place you took off an hour later.

That's just

dumb.

It's like if you just took off for a flight right now and you flew around your city in a circle for an hour and then landed, that's all it would be.

I just wanted to see how long it would take to circumnavigate the world.

Yeah, there you go.

In a 21,000 mile an hour plane.

That's it.

One hour.

It took one hour.

I mean, look, at some point we may see.

It's not like sad.

At some point, right now it is completely

future.

No way.

And to make it commercially available to people is even further.

You know, look, we all, it's funny because we're, we seem to be the ones always called anti-science.

I think innovation is a huge part of our future.

It's why I don't worry all that much about global warming, frankly.

Right.

Because you'll be able to, you're going to get these technologies.

If they would allow the technologies we already have, like nuclear, to

advance, we would have a lot less worry about these sorts of things.

But that's apparently not the road we're going on.

No, it is.

Restrict, restrict, restrict.

This is the Glenback Program.

Well, weekend is here.

Why not throw something on the grill?

It's getting to that time of year, man.

It's starting to heat up here in Texas and wherever you are.

It's starting to get a little bit warmer, just inching into spring a little bit.

And in spring and summer, you got lots of grilling days ahead.

It really doesn't matter whether it's cold weather, whether it's warm weather, whether it's rain or shine.

If you have a RekTech, you have Rectech's smart grill technology.

You can just put food on it and walk away.

You can control and monitor everything from an app on your phone or device,

and you can check the whole process out.

You don't even need to leave the glorious air conditioning.

When you cook on a RekTech, you're going to get the tastiest.

Cook to perfection meals, you can imagine.

Whether you're smoking, grilling, or even baking, Rectech delivers perfection every single time.

It's solid, built like a tank.

And if you A, B, compare it to the competition, you're going to realize there is no competition.

Oh, by the way, I got a little appearance at

a cookie blaze tomorrow.

Ooh.

Yeah.

I want cookies.

From come by and get some.

Getting away free cookies.

I think it will, yeah.

From noon to two

tomorrow.

I mean, if I keep putting disguises on, will I keep continually getting more and more free cookies?

Yeah, you could probably trick us.

Yeah.

Yes.

The people there are so stupid.

They won't even know.

Jeffy's going to be there, so there might not be any cookies by the time you get there.

So you get there early.

You never know.

This is in Fort Worth, Texas, right?

Texi, Cookie, your brand new location?

It's 10353

Alta Vista Road.

in Fort Worth.

All right.

Okay.

Excited to see it.

Texi.com, I assume.

Yes.

All right.

K-E-K-S-I.

All right.

We've been talking about the situation with Joe Biden yesterday and the

gun legislation.

It's actually not legislation.

It's a couple of executive orders and then some suggestions in the form of executive orders, really.

It's strange.

Like, here's a commission that we're going to tell you what a good law would look like that you should pass is basically some of it.

Like it's a lot of it is like stretched out.

Although he's trying to...

He's tandering to the left.

Yeah.

He is trying to do real things against the Second Amendment.

There's no way to do that.

wants to.

Yeah.

And I think one of the steps is going to be soon it will be trying to ban the AR-15s

or anything that they refer to as assault rifles.

They'll try to ban all of them.

And,

I mean, Betto said, hell yes, we're going to do that.

So that's obviously the goal.

But right now, they're taking on the ghost guns.

And so not being all that familiar with ghost guns, we've been hearing from some people.

It's really interesting, who have actually tried or have made ghost guns and what's involved in it.

It's actually pretty expensive.

You need special equipment and it costs, I mean, it costs more probably by the time you get done with it than going and buying a fully made weapon would be.

So I don't know what the advantage is unless you're just looking for a gun without a serial number.

Maybe that's the accusation.

That's the accusation.

Right, but most of the people buying them are not doing it per se for those reasons.

Some might be because they just don't feel like

it's constitutionally justified to force these things.

There's that.

And then a really tiny percentage that's looking to do something illegal with them.

You know,

I don't know how many times that's happened, but I guess it's happened.

So, your thoughts.

Travis in Ohio, you're on the Glenbach program with Peter.

Good.

First, let me say to Joe Biden, my thoughts and prayers are with Glenn and his family.

Oh, good.

Thank you.

That was very nice.

Second, I grew up in a machine shop.

My father was a CNC machinist for 40 years.

He decided that he was going to make these guns so that he could put them on the wall.

Because when people came to the house, they would say, well, what do you do for a living?

He made tools and dies for places like Lockheed Martin, so he didn't really have anything to show.

It was a point of pride.

I think what Biden is doing is actually very dangerous.

If people walked away from yesterday's conversation, not hearing ghost guns are dangerous, but hearing, hey, you could buy a kit and in 30 minutes off the internet, you could have a gun.

The first time they go to do that, they have a better chance of killing themselves than somebody else.

Yeah.

And I was honestly, like, that's kind of what I took out of it yesterday.

You know, I heard it.

I was like, man, that would be kind of cool to try to build one of those things.

That's really what I thought.

And now I'm not.

Because I know I'm an idiot, idiot, and I would probably kill myself.

I will not be doing that.

But that is actually what was kind of my thought process.

Like, really, you can buy these for, that's kind of cool.

That was really, I guarantee every one of these places and the sites I've gone to today back this up, they're all sold out now.

They're all sold out because everyone's going to buy them now because he's now going after them.

There's no better commercial for the gun industry than the Democratic Party.

Yeah, like the greatest gun salesman alive on the planet was Barack Obama.

Yep.

And now Joe Biden.

And now it's Biden.

Joe in Texas.

You're on the Glenbeck program, hi.

Yes.

I built my own

from the parts, but I still had to go through a background check, and it did end up costing me, in the end, about $1,000 to build it, and I can go buy one for about $800.

And what'd you build?

Did you build an AR?

I built an AR.

But part of the hobby and what I was building was I was building a gun specifically for hog hunting.

And because most ARs come in a 2-2-3 caliber, that's not sufficient for hunting deer or hogs or anything.

And that's where a lot of the hobbyists are going to build a caliber that is uncommon for a specific use and generally for a hunting use or a hobby use.

You know, building it more accurately than what a stock gun is and all.

But it is by far.

I mean, you can buy a kit.

You still have to go through a background check.

And in the end, it's going to cost you about $1,000 to build the whole thing.

And the whole point was really that I could build something that you can't really just go buy because of the difference in caliber.

So you did have to go through a background check to get the kit?

Yes.

Well,

the kit and

generally the kit, the lower is still sterilized.

So you still have to do a background check to buy that sterialized lower, and that is the gun in their mind.

But whenever you still have to buy a trigger and you still have to buy all the parts to put the lower together, and then you still have to buy the upper.

And when you put it all together, you know, yeah, maybe I saved a little bit, but in the end, I really spent more than just going to the store and buying the gun.

I can go to most gun stores and buy an AR for about $800.

And how did the gun turn out?

Does it work just as efficiently?

It's not good.

Yes, it's very accurate,

but it was built specifically for hunting hogs because you need a larger caliber because a 2-2-3, a hog would still advance on you and,

you know, it takes a lot to knock these wild, these wild pigs don't just go down easily, like people think.

And a 2-2-3 is actually a less than lethal round.

So they just adopted by the military because it was less than lethal.

They found it was easier, it was harder for the enemy to take care of wounded people than it is to take care of people that are killed.

Yeah, well,

that's fascinating.

That was one of the interesting things, and thanks for the call, Joe.

I appreciate it.

One of the interesting things from the Biden press conference yesterday, and it's something that has held up for a very long long time.

Most people who get shot don't die.

It really is bizarre.

The percentage is really high.

Like he was throwing out numbers yesterday in the 75% range.

You know, 400 people get shot and 100 people die.

But the number overall, I believe, is close to 90% of people who get shot do not die.

And you see that every weekend in Chicago, where 114 were shot and 12 were killed.

Yeah.

A lot of times you'll hear the biggest numbers.

You're thinking, oh my gosh, that many people died.

No, that many people get shot and they largely do survive, which is actually pretty interesting.

You don't think about that stuff because you're watching the movies and everyone who gets shot pretty much dies except for the good guy.

Good guys have like 100%

survival rate.

Good guys could get shot.

like 30 times and somehow they'll pull through.

And that's if you're in a gang right now and you get, that's how you know you're in the good gang It's because if you get shot and you survive, that's how the rule works.

Okay.

Ray in South Carolina, you're on the Glimpack program.

How y'all guys doing today?

Good.

Good.

Look here.

These so-called ghost guns, it is more than going to the hardware store and buying a box of drill bits and a package of files.

I mean,

you got to have machinist knowledge and machinist capabilities in order to build these things.

And I think what they're doing more likely is going after the parts to build these things because if you think about it, when you buy that block and you finish it out, you still have to have the parts to go inside to finish it.

Well, those same parts that goes inside that gun to finish it is also what you need to maintain your ones because those parts do wear out.

Right.

Yeah.

So

that's what's going to happen.

If they ban quote-unquote ghost guns, people will just go buy the individual parts, which it would be almost impossible to ban.

Right.

It will be more difficult.

they can make this more difficult right but uh

they can't do it constitutionally but they can make it more difficult and we'll be able to get away with it for at least a while until the courts overturn it that that that being said you know people who want to buy these to do this are gonna do it anyway and people they what they want to do is give you this impression that there's like a bunch of incels who are sitting in their basements with their computers and watching YouTube videos and putting these things together in five minutes and then going killing all their classmates.

In reality, that's just not who's, first of all, it's not who's doing the killing in this country.

Yes, there are events where one person will kill 10 people, and it's really, really tragic, though the overwhelming majority of these murders are happening with gangs and drug dealers and, you know, the underworld.

It's not like these are just high, they're splashy events that make the news because a lot of times they happen in, you know, suburbs and areas that are not normally used to crime.

But if you want to stop gun violence in this country,

this does nothing.

I mean, let's be honest about it.

Gangs are not doing, they don't have machinist knowledge.

They're not going around and they're not doing these things this way.

It's very, very rare for this to occur.

Just saw a statistic this week.

So here we are in April.

What are we?

Second week in April now?

Yeah, it's April 9th.

There were, so far this year, 759 shootings in Chicago.

700 and like we said, you know,

a much lower number have died, but 759 people have been shot already.

And honestly, like if you had to guess, what would be the number of ghost guns used in those

if I had to guess?

10?

Zero?

Zero?

I would probably guess none.

Yeah, it's certainly not 10% of them.

No.

No way.

It's just a ridiculous, another ridiculous thing to scare people into giving away their rights.

Let's do Bob in Virginia.

Bob, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It's Patton Stu.

Hey, guys.

How are you doing?

Good.

How are you doing, man?

All right.

I'm in the same boat with you, Stu.

I won't open the hood of a car anymore.

I used to work on my cars years ago, and I loved it, but I won't touch them now.

Same with this ghost gun thing.

I wouldn't even attempt it.

However,

Years ago, I built a 50-caliber Hawkins-Thompson muzzle loader, and it was fun.

It was easy.

So I guess we want to keep our guns.

We're going to have to go back to muzzle loaders.

I guess that's the way it works.

Thanks for the call, Bob.

Let's try Jeff in Colorado.

Jeff, welcome to the Glenbeck program with Pattons 2.

Thanks, guys.

Good morning.

Hey, just real quick, like three callers ago, the guy was saying he needed to get a background check done.

There's different kinds of lower receivers that you can buy.

You can look up stripped lower.

Those are already milled out with the holes in them for all the stuff.

They're already serialized.

serialized so you do have to that's considered a firearm the most of the 80% lowers are just blanks you've got to do the milling yourself that's the stuff you've been talking about just clear that up real quick real quick and you guys touched on this a lot a lot of the people I know that have ghost guns and I was going to buy a kit except for

Biden got in office and you got food a check but They don't want to be legislated out of owning a gun, whether it's an AR or some automatic pistol or shotgun or rifle,

and you know, and not have anything to protect their families if they ever do come to a gun grab.

And you watch riots in the streets and all those things.

So, the reason they're doing it is I don't want it on the books.

What they're doing is unconstitutional, and I don't want to be left without anything to defend my family or myself.

Yeah, this is this is a great point.

It's not a murderer, it's someone who's saying, Look, I don't trust what you're going to do in the future.

I don't want to be on your stupid list.

That makes a lot of sense to me.

888-727B is the number.

Back with more in a second.

Mowing the grass used to be just another one of those chores you weren't looking forward to at the end of the day or on the weekend.

But thankfully, it doesn't have to be that way anymore.

When you sit down on a hustler turf zero-turn lawn mower, you're about to take a ride that you're going to enjoy.

And even better, it's going to get the job done in about half the time because Hustler only makes serious lawn mowers.

Hustler has been making the zero-turn mower for professional lawn maintenance outfits for literally decades now.

But now it brings that technology to you in your yard.

With Hustler, you get speed, comfort, and an unbelievable level of maneuverability all rolled up into one amazing mower.

You get an industrial-grade quality product and a mower that will fit between the posts of your backyard fence.

In short, you're getting mowing perfection.

When you A, B, compare a hustler to the competition, you'll know there's no competition at all.

Before you buy some other mower, do me a favor, find a hustler dealer and go to just go test drive one.

Check it out.

See if the hype is real.

It is.

The Glenn Beck program.

Yeah.

Had a stupid Glenn.

I'm the Glenn Beck program.

Hopefully, Glenn will be back on Monday.

Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K with your thoughts.

We've been talking about

the gun situation with Joe Biden, who pretty much vowed to ban assault weapons during his campaign.

He didn't pretty much.

He did vow to ban assault weapons.

So they'll be trying to do that.

And of course, there was the

beto

declaration that, hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15.

Hell no, you're not,

is what the response from most American citizens will be.

And of course, a lot of us lost our AR-15s in boating accidents.

Yeah.

It's very common.

A lot of people, I guess, go boating with an AR-15.

I talked to, was it Sarah Gonzalez on the News and Why It Matters yesterday who said she lost it in a roller coaster accident?

Oh, yeah, she did say that.

Which is, that's sad.

That is sad.

A roller coaster.

Why did you have a gun on a roller coaster?

Well, that's

strange, but who am I?

You shouldn't bring them on roller coasters, but if you do, you might lose them.

And that's very

sad.

She did.

All right, real quick, let's go to Christian in Iowa.

Christian, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Patton Stu.

Hey, guys.

How's it going?

Fuck first for Glenn.

Thank you.

Speaking of chicago last time we talked you guys were making fun of me because i had to go to a sales meeting in chicago and couldn't vote for a cruise in the caucus

yeah

good good to talk to you again so uh you you nailed it there with the voting accident because i too uh lost all of mine in a canoe accident here recently amazing how common that is yeah it's and it really sucks and but along with my polymer 80 but here's why i'm calling because so i too got one of these bad boys because i thought it'd be kind of fun to mill it out it's extraordinarily expensive it takes an extraordinarily long time i'm pretty sure i messed it up like i said before is you almost have to buy two of them because there's just because you're gonna screw one up the first one yeah yeah i mean you got to get a drill press you got to get vices all the things that everybody's been saying well they're acting like you can do this in 30 minutes and you'll have a gun

it's ridiculous

Polymer 80 got raided back in December.

So the reason why you can't get these anymore is because they've been raided.

They aren't available any longer.

So it's really weird they want to push law.

Yeah, it's a good interview for you guys to get those guys on, and it's definitely a good Google to check out that.

Polymer 80 raided.

Yeah, well, check it out.

I don't know anything about that, but I don't know that.

It's clear what they're doing, which is just a scare tactic.

It's a sort of marquee scare tactic to push the underlying goal, which is to take away law-abiding citizens and their weapons.

This is the Glenn Back program.
