Welcome to the podcast.

We expect Glenn Beck to be back at the helm on Monday.
So make sure you check that out.
He'll be going into everything that happened over the past week, I'm sure, giving you an update and
a family crisis he's had going on.
We'll let him get into that on Monday.
Today we talk about the Biden speech.
The guns.
He doesn't...
I will say, Biden's speech on guns
was
filled with inaccuracies at a point that really a level you haven't seen, you didn't really even, maybe even see from Barack Obama.
I mean, this was packed with lies, lies, yeah, just flat-out lies.
Yeah, a lot of them.
And it's hard to imagine he doesn't know that these are untrue.
I think he does, even though I don't know that he knows where his shoes are.
True.
He does know that, I think.
So we get into a lot of that today.
You'll love some of the history stuff that he got wrong, some of the claims about weapons today that he got wrong.
It's really just a collection of Joe Biden saying things that are incorrect.

Here's the podcast.
You're listening to
the best of the Blandbeck program.
Did you see
the Biden speech yesterday?
All he 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 uh it's just that you know there's some common sense things that need to be done.
Well, 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.
We love it so.
However, get out.
That's essentially what they were saying yesterday.
Yeah.
You mentioned common sense, and we mock this often because that's what they use.
Can we get, by the way,
the Biden gun shows Sat 7 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.
Yes.
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,
you buy whatever you want, and 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 just threw it at me.
It was a dry job.
You didn't even have to pay for it?
I bet.
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 innocents.
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 uh i do not have the licensed i am not a licensed dealer right so i am not the type of person who has the the 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 uh he's a little too young but when he grows up, if I'm like, I 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 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.
Right.
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 it's a good thing.
Because they keep repeating this lie.
The media says that.
Yeah, they do believe it.
They do believe it.
It's common knowledge.
It's just not true knowledge.
Right.
It's not actually a fact.
At a gun show, a private,
like a private gun owner can sell 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 all, 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 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 off the top of my head.
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.
Right.
And I said, I said to her, I said, Amy Swear is her name.
And I said, Amy, is there an argument to say maybe the righteous 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 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 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 easier.
And the kits have directions.
And the kits 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
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.
Uh, and there's other reasons to to own them, uh, but they're good weapons and they are very effective,
particularly for females to be able to push back 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'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, you know, 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.
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 think so.
Would you be arrested, though, if you yelled
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 yell wolf,
particularly when there is a wolf in the theater.
I've had several theaters experience
where there's a pack of wolves running through the theater.
That's scary.
And thank God Nancy Pelosi was there
to yell wolf.
God, she is awful.
So stupid.
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 Nancy PelosisuxPen.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 recommend it, but you actually can yell fire in a theater.
And what about Wolf?
But you cannot yell Wolf.
You can't under no circumstances.
Can I yell coyote?
Coyote!
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 a government institution.
The best of the Glen Bank program.
Have you seen the 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 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 the gas, but it's possible, I guess, if you fall a certain way and the gas pedal stays down.
Maybe you had cruise control on at 87 in the 45.
I don't know.
It's a weird, it's a very, very strange story.
And
unending, he should never get in an automobile again.
I mean, he's got to stop getting inside of automobiles.
Yeah, it just doesn't work.
It's not working well, does it?
No, it's that's how we found out about the whole scandal.
Remember, he was like backing down his driveway and like crashed into a tree.
Yeah.
Just stop driving.
Well, I think he crashed into a tree after his wife put a golf club through the back window.
Isn't 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.
8727BECK.
It is Patton Stew for Glenn.
Yeah, Prince Philip has died.
That seems to be the
big news of the day today.
I do not understand the fascination with the American people.
Not at all.
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.
They 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 uh what's her face uh 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 um but you know it was 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 the fact that an American princess, an American actress has become a princess or whatever, however that works.
Shit, princess or a duchess?
Duchess.
Yeah, sorry, duchess.
It's a big deal.
You could see why 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.
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 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, that, I mean, unless Arthur was real and that's doubtful, they had a pretty much, 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
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.
the tea.
They have the tea in the afternoon.
That's kind of cool.
The tea in the afternoon.
They spend a few billion dollars remembering it constantly.
Exactly.
Right.
You know, 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 the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
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.
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,
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 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 a deep, deep faith.
Some of the things mean so much to him.
Yeah, not everything.
Everything I mean.
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 know?
But that's a whole different story.
And then he essentially tells you to stop praying.
Stop praying.
Enough prayers.
Prayers.
Enough prayers.
That's just.
No, I mean, maybe that was just him crazy.
You know, blubbering through another line, which is not impossible.
But this is, 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.
I don't want to hear it 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 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 Glenback 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 tool 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.
Because we didn't even try it again.
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 this, 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 Glenn Beck program with patent 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 that could potentially kill somebody
It is a ridiculous flaw in their basic logic.
And thanks, Justin, for the call.
There's this ⁇ 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, it 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 Glenn 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.
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 it had no effect on gun violence.
But if you were to do that here, you'd have to buy like 100 million guns, first of all.
Just the cost of that, buying back 100 million guns.
You take the
way, how would you do 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.
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.
Right.
Is This 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.
Yes, hi.
Oh, 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 we go, there we go.
That's America for heck with your customer.
All right, go ahead.
All right, Noah, you were talking about uh, you called it on the ghost gun conversation, yes, sir.
Yeah, so I've built quite a few of these things, uh, not for anybody else, but only for myself.
And it takes a lot of money investing in it.
And one, you can't
do it perfectly unless you have a CNC machine.
The CNC machines that they make for these things run about three thousand dollars,
And that's for the
seam and the fit.
And even then, half the time you don't do it perfect.
I gotta admit, I mean, these are precise instruments.
This is not like, you know, you're this gonna be very difficult to do on your own.
How i d you've built a bunch of these for your own.
Do you know a lot about guns or?
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 a point of pride, it's a cool thing to go through.
Uh, Noah, thanks so much for the phone call.
Appreciate it.
