Transcript

I can't know.

I cannot continue to talk to you about this.

I want to know.

I can't talk to you about it.

We had an argument at the end of the podcast that

I'm telling you, Stu jumped ugly on.

I really would like to know.

No, please.

He's a guy who wants to keep the

P in Pisaki silent.

And I say silence no more.

That family has kept that letter down for far too long.

And Jen Pasaki, not on my watch.

Not on my watch.

It's brave.

Thank you.

Well, there's a lot of brave things.

Katie Perry's going to write a song pretty soon.

There's a lot of brave things that are happening today.

We start the program with the new biological terms.

I'm sorry, the new.

This is amazing.

Not biological, the new

gender terms from NYU.

See if you can pick the ones that we just made up.

It's amazing.

Then in the second hour, we talked about reparation with Bob Woodson, a really important

interview.

Then we went into why Merrick Garland is so important that you really understand why he was selected and what that means, which rolls in to Clarence Thomas's

dissent yesterday on the Supreme Court not hearing the Pennsylvania voter fraud case and what the House did do.

What did they do?

Well, they're trying to silence Fox and anyone like them, threatening the cable companies and the cloud services and everything else, telling them that they're gonna have to reevaluate their relationship with these companies if they don't silence these voices because they're spreading too much disinformation.

And what is that disinformation?

Well, that leads us to

HR one, House Resolution 1.

You don't want to miss a second,

even though it ends tragically,

racist.

It's not.

It is.

No, I never say it.

This question alone is racist.

You'll hear it on today's podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Blendbeck program.

Pat Gray joins us now.

Pat, your wife and you started a new cookie company.

We did.

Which is a delicious.

What's the name of it again?

Kexy.

Kexi.

No.

Used to be Scrumptious.

Yeah.

But you couldn't spell that one.

But everybody can spell Kexi.

But everybody can spex.

What the?

K-E-K-S-I.

It's real easy.

It's real easy.

Kexi.

Once you know it, it's really easy.

I would say, like, I wouldn't.

I was thinking there was an X.

And I like that.

There's not an X.

Well, if you do the X, it'll redirect to the K.

Okay, Okay, so Kexie.

Okay, so anyway, I don't know if you know this.

Now, there are some things in political correctness that are ridiculous, but I think this is one of them.

Or is it?

In Dutch supermarkets, they have just gotten rid of a cookie.

It's apparently a very big deal.

It's like our Oreo.

No cookie aisle can be without Oreos in America.

Would you agree with that?

Yeah, of course.

Chocolate chip cookies.

In Dutch supermarkets, it's the Jodenkoken.

Jodenkoken.

Jodenkoken.

Jashur Jodenkoken.

It's a good name.

It's a shortbreak.

You should name your shortcuts.

Jodenkoken.

Jodenkoken.

Yeah, that's easy, Joe.

Jodenkoken.com.

I'm surprised you didn't take it.

They're shortbread discs,

and apparently

Jodenkoken translates to Jew cookies.

Okay.

How have they gotten away with that?

Yeah, well, I guess

their ADL over there, which is the

Dutch Jewish Watchdog Group on Anti-Semitism.

I don't know.

And then the Jewish

study, the Dutch Watch Group on Anti-Semitism.

And then the Central Jewish Board of the Netherlands.

They have spoken out and say we don't have a problem with Joden cookies or Joden coconut.

So their version of the ADL is saying, like, we're cool with Joden cookies.

Joden Koken is cool.

This is exactly what's happening all over.

I can guarantee it.

Well, I mean,

they're Dutch.

So it's white people who are like, we know better than the Jews.

We're taking Jogukoken off because it's offensive.

And the Jews are like, no, it's not.

We don't have a problem with that.

It's like the Redskins thing here in America.

Yeah.

Like these Native Americans were like, yeah, actually, we really like it.

We're fine.

But I mean, when you say it, when you're like, hey.

Pass those Jew cookies over.

I mean, it just doesn't sound good.

It doesn't.

It doesn't sound good.

No.

So we got that going for us.

We also are having having the did you guys see the that now they're asking for the jeep grand cherokee the jeep cherokee to change their name of course they are of course they are which was interesting and if you read the article what i which i what i thought was fascinating about it because they they're like the native americans are now saying they want uh no more they don't want jeep to be calling it a cherokee anymore and it was ahead of the cherokee nation the Cherokee tribe

so proud to live the ones that are so proud to die didn't start him on that 70 something you know and they took the whole Cherokee Nation.

And they put them on that reservation.

Yeah.

Took away their way of life.

You know, the tomahawk and the bow and the knife.

Cherokee people.

Okay.

But when you read the article, it seems to be that the journalists just like called up the Cherokee Nation and go, hey, guys, are you mad about the Cherokee thing?

Like, it wasn't like, it didn't seem to be started by the Cherokee Nation.

It never is.

The journalists are like, hey, shouldn't you guys be pissed about this?

And then a guy was like, yeah, we're pissed about this.

It seems like it was generated from the side of the media.

Of course it is.

She's amazing.

Of course it is.

Of course it is.

By the way, did you notice scattered showers of journalism yesterday in the State Department briefing?

Yes.

Did you?

Yes.

Do you have that audio?

I have it here.

I don't think I do.

Okay.

I don't think we have it.

Yeah, let me,

you have it.

No, she doesn't have it either.

Okay, hang on just a second.

I have it.

Just bring up my computer.

Here it is.

This is fantastic.

Now, I want you to know.

It's amazing.

Yeah,

this is audio from an AP, an Associated Press journalist.

And I think that demonstrates

that our strategy, including the legislative strategy, the strategy that, of course, Congress

has been behind, has been working to good effect.

So we'll continue to work closely with Germany.

We'll continue to work closely with our other allies and partners in Europe to uphold Europe's own own stated energy security goals.

It seems a bit disingenuous to claim credit for the 18 companies winding down.

All of this work was done under the previous administration.

You guys have only been a month.

What?

I mean, only been in office for a month.

Right?

Are you telling me that in the last four weeks, these 18 companies all of a sudden decide to say, oh my God, we better not do anything with this?

I am speaking for

all of that.

You guys are taking credit for stuff that the previous administration did.

I am speaking for the Department of State.

The people who have been working this, the people who are working this now were the same people a month ago, were the same people

three months ago.

So I

got him to kind of admit it.

He got him to admit it.

He got him to admit it, which is nice, but

that'll be the last shower that we have today.

Yes, it will.

Is anybody watching

WandaVision?

I love it.

Oh, my gosh.

Is that the most creative show on television?

I want to see after the first episode, how many people panned it.

And I was like,

I don't understand it, but I wouldn't pan it.

Yes.

Me too.

They're too smart of a company to do something this bad.

Well, the first two episodes were so weird because they're just a 50s and a 60s sitcom with a laugh track.

And you're like, I don't

know if I get it or not.

Yeah.

But it all ties together.

And you know it's going to because it's Marvel.

And it's so good.

The way it ties together and what they they do with it is so creative.

I've never seen anything like it.

Now, I have a 15-year-old son who is way deep into all the hidden clues.

Oh, so it's really fun to watch with him because they leave a lot of Easter eggs, right?

Yeah, lots, lots.

He's stopping it all the time.

Do you know what that means?

You know what that means?

That means it's really a very cool show.

If you're into the Marvel thing, which

are in-house,

a little black rain cloud stupid gear is not.

No, I had um I had uh Spider-Man uh underpants when I was like four, and I liked them then,

and now I've

now I'm an adult.

So, by the way, The Simpsons, Harry Shearer.

I've got the Spider-Man into the universe

into the Spider-Verse underpants now.

Okay, that's much more nice.

I have the Depends.

Okay, do you?

I have the Depends.

Those are nice too.

Yeah.

So The Simpsons have spider webs on them?

So, anyway, Harry Shearer has said that he's not going to play Dr.

Hibbert anymore on the Simpsons.

Has he said it, or did they just announce it?

Because he came out.

According to the rap, Harry Shearer, who is white, will no longer voice the black character of Dr.

Hibbert.

He will be replaced by Michael Richardson.

Bless the hearts, next Sunday's episode.

That's been so effective.

Shearer had voiced, does voices of Ned Flanders.

Is he a Christian?

Really, honestly, is Harry Shearer a Christian?

Why should a non-Christian play that role?

Shouldn't a Christian?

Yes.

And principal, is he a he plays principal Skinner?

Is he a real principal?

Is he a real principal?

No.

No.

That's where we're getting.

So there is no quote from him, at least in this story.

So I don't know if they just took him off of that.

Well, no, because I remember covering this just a few months ago, and Harry Shearer was asked about

all of this because Hank Azaria had stopped doing Apu.

That was what started this.

And he was, he said, he goes, speaking to Times Radio, he said, quote, I have a very simple belief about acting.

The job of an actor is to play someone they are not.

That's the gig.

That's the job description.

Right.

He said.

Not anymore, though.

Yeah, but so I don't think he was in favor of this.

I mean, this was August of last year, so this is not a long time ago.

Would it be great when

the cameras start to roll on people who are just normal people and nobody's really extraordinary at anything, and the movies are kind of

more like

real life.

Yeah, kind of like those conservative movies 10 years ago.

Yeah.

Kind of like that.

That'll be good.

When only dead people could play dead people.

I like that.

He's not Winston Churchill.

Yeah.

He's not.

So no Churchill movies from here on out.

I mean, can the person drawing Apu be white?

Can the person drawing Dr.

Hibbert be white?

Well, you wouldn't have a white person do that because they're yellow.

Well, Dr.

Hibbert is

brown.

Yes.

Yeah, but Homer and his family, there are no white people in that.

It's just the voice, though.

That's the only thing that matters.

Like, obviously, this is going to be expanded afterward.

None of this makes any sense.

We sit here and we talk about these members that mean nothing.

Yeah, all the time.

And it just keeps getting worse.

Well, let's talk about not making sense.

I think Joe Rogan said it all when he talked about Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz, did you see a mariachi band showed up in front of him?

So asinine.

I would have.

And they're demanding that he resign.

Because he went to Cancun when it was cold.

Really?

This is what Cancun was

developed for.

This is what Joe Rogan said, and I think this is right.

What was he supposed to do?

What was the reason for him staying?

Quote, can he make it warm outside?

He can because of global warming.

Yes, he can.

Oh, he can now?

Yes.

He's hurting our environment.

He didn't rock.

But he didn't before he left.

There are no, I can guarantee you, no one is hiring that mariachi band that is a conservative

or a Republican.

Oh, no way.

No, this is

all this controversy is all them trying to do their best to destroy him.

Yes.

Try desperately to get him on.

I want to talk to him about this.

He should not be apologizing for it.

Nobody who is a supporter of Teddy Cruz cares about this.

He's a smart enough politician, to know this is going to cause him unneeded pain in his career, which I understand.

Stupid

political mistakes.

Exactly.

And if you looked at his Instagram feed all weekend, it was just non-stop him.

He's just got cases of water.

He's walking around every place in Texas.

And to me,

that looks weak.

Well, it does because it looks like he did something wrong, and now he's trying to make up for it.

And he didn't do anything wrong.

He just done that stuff for other people.

But you know what?

There's a lot.

Yeah,

he's been working those things.

He was fantastic

at the border.

He was fantastic on the hurricanes that have rolled through Texas.

He's fantastic.

This one is, I don't have any power.

We don't have any water.

What do you say we leave here?

Because there's nothing we can do.

And I have a telephone

that I can keep in my.

pocket and it works on the beach or any place other than space.

I believe it was our own Elijah Schaefer who said that Ted Cruz was just working remotely like all the public school teachers.

Oh my God.

Which is a good one.

That is fantastic.

That was apparently okay.

It's a great live.

Fantastic.

All right.

Thank you, Pat.

You watch Pat Gray, Pat Gray Unleashed live before this broadcast, or you can get Pat Gray Unleashed wherever we get your podcasts.

This is the best of the Glen Beck program.

One of the greatest men that I know who is just so brave in today's society, he is the founder and president of the Woodson Center and the author of a great book, Lessons from the Least of These.

Bob Woodson is with us now.

Hey, Bob, how are you?

Pleased to be with you again, Glenn.

It is great to talk to you, sir.

Time has gone by so fast, I can't believe it's been a year since you started the 1776 Unites project.

We're really happy with the progress we've made so far in just one year.

That's great.

That's great.

So, Bob, I want to talk to you a little bit about reparations, and I want to...

play the

other side to see how you would answer these things.

Right now, the country is going through

all kinds of change, and the White House and the House has started hearings and a committee on reparations.

What's the problem with reparations?

Well, first of all,

the key liberator for black folks in the past have been preparation, not reparations.

And also, the whole issue of reparations is really to deflect attention away from the critical problems.

First of all, just going into it in detail, who pays?

Did you know that

the

five Native American civilized tribes, they had thousands of slaves.

They were free blacks who also owned slaves.

Do they pay reparations?

And so it gets complicated,

but also we have had reparations in the last 50 years in the form of poverty programs, the $22 trillion we have spent that was supposed to be targeted to these communities where 70 cents of all the dollars went to people who serve the poor.

We created a commodity out of the poor and now we're getting ready to create a commodity out of race

blacks

who will

keep what's happening.

Let me play devil's advocate here and push back on who's going to pay.

It's really not about slavery, Bob.

It's about the

inequality and the system that has been racist from the beginning.

So it's not really about slavery.

It's about the disadvantages that minorities, in this case, African Americans have had from the beginning.

Well, first of all, they make the incorrect statement that the problems facing blacks today out of wedlock, birth, crime, and violence, and income inequality is related to the legacy of slavery and discrimination.

That is just not true.

And the fact is that blacks thrived during periods of Jim Crow, building banks, hotels.

The median income in Durham, North Carolina, in 1940,

because of the Black Wall Street, was comparable to the income of whites throughout the country.

So, and also today, Glenn, 3.5 million black Africans and Caribbeans, they live here.

If racism were the biggest barrier, why do they have incomes comparable to, if not higher than whites?

They have a higher education level.

Why is it that these blacks who look like any other black, how is it that they were able to thrive and outperform blacks and Asians in terms of education?

If racism were the culprit, then how do you have this as an anomaly?

Well, but if you could just give African Americans money, they would be able to change their way of life.

They'd be able to pull themselves out of poverty.

If you just gave them a big check, they would be able to use that to create a different life for them and their family.

Okay, let's just, as if the problems, let's just take an example.

You have black men are 6% of the population, but they're 80%

of the NFL and the NBA.

Two years after these men leave basketball and leave professional football, they are bankrupt.

80% of them are bankrupt within two years.

If money, if wealthy men are able to so it isn't a matter of having income that defines your status, it's how you use money.

And black Americans

historically,

like I said, there are examples

when we had the right attitudes in place, we were able to achieve against the odds.

In Chicago in 1929, there were 731 black-owned businesses and $100 million in real estate assets,

even at a time when we were being redlined.

So if we were able to build medical schools, dental schools,

our own hospitals, our own hotels, our educational systems in five five major cities where we had crumbling buildings, overcrowded classrooms, half the budgets as white schools.

We out-tested every other white school in five major cities at the turn of the century and up until 1940.

So, Glenn, if racism were the sole culprit, how is it that under worst circumstances, the de jure segregation, blacks were able to perform in ways where where we had no control of the cities.

So, Bob,

in all sincerity,

I mean, we know that there are problems in the country and there's growing problems, I think, within the system of racism, and it cuts in all directions.

But the thing that really disturbs me is that we are telling people, we're telling white people that they are racist, they're born racist, they can only be racist till the day they die.

And we're telling black people, you can't do it because these people are in your way and you need a third party to keep them at bay so you could accomplish something.

I think those are both so dangerous to teach people.

They are.

But Glenn, let me say that those people who are supposed to represent black people are not their representatives.

If you look at the polls, 80% of blacks are against defund the police.

According to a Pew poll, 60% of blacks do not believe racial discrimination is a principal barrier to their being able to achieve.

So it is a lie that the people you see on television and those that are in the media supposed to be representing black people,

they are part of the race grievance industry.

And

we have, again, monetized pain and suffering and injustice.

They are the ones that white America are paying to give racially race audits, equity audits.

They are the ones that

corporations are paying millions of dollars to do equity training.

You ask yourself, they should be compelled to answer the question.

Look at the out-of-wedlock births.

Look at the violence in these cities.

Tell me how spending money

on

equity training is a a solution to these problems.

What we're doing at the Woodson Center is that we are mobilizing people within those communities to represent themselves.

And we're raising money so we can demonstrate to people that the real answer to decline is not to demand that white people liberate us from ourselves, but that black America have to be agents of their own uplift.

I just, in case you don't know who I'm talking to, this is Bob Woodson.

He's the founder and president of the Woodson Center, author of the book Lessons from the Least of These, which is fantastic.

He has been a community organizer in the best sense of the word for a long time,

trying to bring people together

and teach principles that actually empower people for quite a long time.

And

he has stood

in the same place unflinching.

And it's going to get harder and harder for him to stand.

I got to believe that the pressure you guys are facing right now, I have to believe, is enormous, Bob.

Yeah, but it is.

But

I really think that that's one of the best of people.

Jack Dorsey, the founder of Netflix, is spending $4 billion on race grievance.

We need to mobilize our people to spend on the other side to empower people.

For instance, Glenn,

we're not going to do this by just complaining about what the left is doing.

We must have a ground game.

And what we're doing is we are mobilizing 2.5, I mean, 2,500 low-income black mothers called Voices of Black Mothers United.

They are standing up with the police against those who want to defund the police.

And so I really think we've got to to mobilize indigenous organizations, people who are paying the price for this race grievance

narrative that is being pushed.

We must let the people speak for themselves.

If you want to donate, I'm going to send them to Woodson Center.

Is that good?

That'll be good.

Yeah, Woodsoncenter.org.

Yeah, WoodsonCenter.org.

A really important work being done at the Woodson Center, and we all have to stand together.

We have to put race aside.

We have to, you know,

I was pushing back on

Bob on the

reparations just to show that it doesn't...

It's not going to stop.

It doesn't have to make sense.

They have ways around all of your traditional arguments.

Arguments are not going to work.

You need to stay informed, but we need to get active and we need to be seen together working to solve problems in all communities.

And Bob is a great, great example of working in underprivileged communities and empowering people.

And I am proud to stand by his side, and I would urge you to get involved, even if it's just a donation.

I know money is tight, but this is really important work.

You're frustrated, you don't know what to do, reach out to thewoodsoncenter.org.

Woodsoncenter.org.

Bob, thank you so much.

We'll talk again.

Thank you.

And your listeners have been very generous in the past, and I want to thank them.

They are a good group of people.

And

whenever you need a community to come out and work side by side with you, anytime we can do anything to help stand side by side, not just be a wallet, but also be hands.

you let us know.

We'd love to work with you.

Well, I'm going to take you up on it because we do need hearts and hands

and wallets.

You got it.

Thank you so much, Bob.

You let us know.

All right, thank you.

Woodsoncenter.org.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening.

Built Bar is back, and it is unbelievable.

If you've been listening to my show this year, I love Built Bars.

It's an all-American story.

This is a client I asked to be on the show because I didn't listen to my wife again, and she'd been telling me about it, but it has protein bar on it, and those always taste like a doormat.

This is unbelievable.

The mint brownie flavor?

Oh, yes, baby.

It is life-changing.

The new bars taste better than ever.

In addition to the 12 original flavors, Built Bar just added cookies and cream, carrot cake, caramel brownie, lemon, almond cheesecake, apple, almond crisp.

I mean, it's just, it's great.

Built Bar, delicious, nutritious, high-protein, low-calorie, high-fiber, low-carbs, 100% real chocolate, and 100% really good.

Plus, they've reset the code for this new launch.

Right now, go to builtbar.com, use the promo code Beck, get $10 off your first order.

Promo code Beck, BuiltBar.com.

This is the Glenn Beck program, and this is why shows like this, podcasts, networks like OAN, Newsmax,

Fox News, even if we don't agree with each other on many things,

it's important to have differing points of view.

These are the kinds of things that when the government comes to squash us, you will no longer hear.

The For the People bill is now in the House.

It's H.R.

1.

It is anything but for the people.

It is for the oligarchs.

And it is a federal grab of power, unconstitutional power, of the voting process.

Clarence Thomas wrote his dissent yesterday.

It was pretty clear what has to be done,

but not according to Congress.

They're going another direction.

I want to introduce you to Robert Charles.

He's a spokesperson for AMAC.

Full disclosure, AMAC is a sponsor of this program, but I don't have sponsors on just to have sponsors on.

This guy has worked in national security and criminal justice for more than three decades, including Reagan and Bush 41 on the

U.S.

Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, Staff Director, Chief Counsel to the U.S.

House National Security, International Affairs, Criminal Justice Subcommittee, unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2003.

He was Colin Powell's Assistant Secretary of of State, INL, managing a $2 billion bureau focused on the rule of law, international police training, blah, blah, blah.

I mean, I've only given you a third of his resume.

This guy has credibility, and he is a spokesperson for AMAC, and they have been very, very involved in stopping H.R.

One.

Welcome to the program, Bobby.

Hey, Glenn, it is a privilege to be on your program, and I appreciate the intro, and of course, encourage anybody to join AMAC.us.

AMAC has 2.3 million conservatives out there, fastest-growing conservative organization in the country.

But boy, I am so glad you're on the air and happy to be with you.

Tell me what HR1 is.

HR1 is a travesty.

It's an abomination.

And you hit it pretty hard right on with

your sort of soundbite there.

The bottom line is it is the Democrat effort to reach for one-party control and essentially take all the bad things that occurred in the 2020 election cycle and institutionalize them by pulling the election process, which the founders, as you so brilliantly have written about, but that the founders put at the state level.

They want to pull it to the federal level.

And what would it do?

It would do about 10 really horrific things.

It would ban voter IDs.

It would allow mail-in ballots to become the standard.

It would create same-day and online registration for voters.

It would make a one-party FEC, so you'd never be able to reverse it.

It would create mandatory early voting, DMV

automatic registration, so all illegals would be automatically registered.

It would give you

felons would be able to vote.

16-year-olds would be able to register.

Jeez.

It would allow, it's just crazy.

And in fact, you know, the irony is both the Wall Street Journal and the ACLU, who agree on almost nothing, agree that this H.R.

1, which will pass the House and could pass the Senate, is really an abomination.

So,

oh, my gosh.

I'm not concerned.

Well, they've put everything in there.

So I am concerned that the whole thing passes.

But I'm also concerned about a reconciliation where the Senate says, oh, we can't pass this, and they water it down.

Any of this stuff,

correct me if I'm wrong, is unconstitutional.

The federal government has no role in the way states vote.

Well, that's exactly right.

And actually, you know, you're right to be worried about the Senate.

Right now, the reason that it is likely not to immediately pass the Senate, but we've got to be fearful is that you have two senators, Democrats, who are moderate Democrats, Joe Manchin and Cinema, who say, hey, we don't want to get rid of the filibuster.

Well, yeah, we don't want to get rid of the filibuster.

And the filibuster means you need 60 votes in order to get a vote of closure and get a bad thing to get out.

If you drop the filibuster, this bill would almost certainly get out of the Senate.

And the sad part is it's not only unconstitutional,

it drives, it actually hits political speech too.

It actually tries to, it reveals all the details of any conservative group's contributors right down to addresses so that people can be doxxed, they can show up on your front lawn.

It really intends, it's an intimidation bill is what it is.

And I think, I guess I am fearful because normally a bill like this wouldn't have a prayer of getting out of either camber.

But right now we live in surreal times, as you so often say.

And, you know, we're in a tough moment right now.

H.R.

1 could get out, along with other bills like H.R.

127 that tries to confiscate guns.

I mean, these are significant impairments to the Constitution.

Tell me about that one.

I mean, honestly, I saw H.R.

1 come out the first week, and I thought, this is a Hail Mary Pass.

They'll never.

They will.

They will get it through the Senate.

Well,

let's pray, and let's also work that they don't get it through the Senate.

And if the filibuster holds, I don't see them getting it through the Senate, just like H.R.

127.

But, you know, these are stealth.

You know, we have all this impeachment distraction.

These bills were being crafted behind the scenes to get out as fast as they can get them out.

And they'll both pass the House.

The second one, this H.R.

127, allows confiscation of guns, but it does much more than that.

It says you can't buy a gun in the future without giving every detail about your home, including where the gun is stored.

They'll all be made public.

You have to have a psychiatric evaluation.

You have to have a screening board.

Mandatory minimums up to 30 years in prison if you don't get the license.

So we're in an environment right now.

I mean, there's a lot in that bill that people can be afraid of, and I am.

But we're in an environment where conservatives need to stand up and speak out.

And, you know, you are a historian, and you know that Edmund Brooke was really right.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

And we are in a position now where we have to not be those people who do nothing.

So here's the problem, Bobby: is that people feel as, I mean, they've been worn out.

They've been worn out.

And they feel as though the Republican Party doesn't hold their values anymore.

I mean, are the Republicans going to actually

mount something and actually carry through with their mission?

And do they have a plan smart enough to actually pull it off?

Well, the bottom line is that we, the people, have to give spine to those that, pursuant to the Constitution, are supposed to be doing our bidding.

And we know that 75 million Americans voted for Donald Trump.

We also know that probably another 40 or 50 million sat at home on their couches thinking all would be well, and they love America, but they didn't vote.

So the vast majority of Americans, I think, are on the right side of history.

The problem is history will make itself if you don't help make it.

And, you know, I'm an old Norman Rockwell Republican.

I'm a Ronald Reagan Republican.

Strong defense, good moral compass, smaller government, lower taxes.

If we don't speak up for those things, they will be taken away from us.

I thought you said at first that you were

a Rockefeller Republican.

I was going to be like, that's not enough.

No, Norman Rockwell.

Norman Reagan.

Yeah, I get it.

I get it.

Yeah.

So

let me, again, full disclosure, he works for AMAC.

AMAC is a sponsor, but you know me well enough to know I ask this of everybody who talks like this.

What are you guys doing about it?

What can people in this audience do?

Unbelievably, and this is why I love AMAC.

I think it's the natural extension.

The reason I work for them is that they are the natural extension of the Reagan approach.

Yes, you get economic benefits like other organizations for those over the age of 50, but the main mission is they fight every single day.

When I say fight, I mean they are submitting petitions, they are sending tens of thousands of emails, they are making phone calls around the clock to try to defend the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Tenth Amendment.

I write every day on AMAC.

I don't write every day.

I write every week, three times a week on AMAC.us.

They push their publications out.

We're on radio.

We're on television.

I mean, I'm regularly on Fox.

The bottom line is, this is an organization that is trying to stop bad things from happening with detailed.

In fact, people can become delegates.

They can become actively involved.

I mean, at the end of the day, you know, de Tocqueville was right.

At the end of the day, Americans are unique because we do get involved in the civic process and we do try to fix problems.

And I am an optimist.

We can fix these problems.

And the natural law principles that are all embodied in the things AMAC defends, the Bill of Rights, those things aren't going away.

They're given by God and they're out there.

But we've got to fight for them because there are government people.

I mean, you know the list of names that at the national level are trying to strip us of these rights.

And these really are the precious rights that make everything else possible.

I urge you to join AMAC.

They are, I mean,

I've watched this organization from the very beginning.

They got into it when Obamacare was going, and they realized what the

competitor to AMAC was doing.

And I talked about it on Fox, and I'm like, this is crazy.

Look at what's happening.

They're selling old people.

They say they represent old people, and they're selling them down the river.

And AMAC came out of those days, and they are relentless.

So join them.

Find them at AMAC, A-M-A-C.us

and

join them if you can.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it, Bobby.

We'll have you on again.

Ready?

Thank you.

Bye-bye.
