The Red Flags' Red Glare | Guests: Scott Presler & Jeffy Fisher | 8/7/19

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Patton Stew for Glenn?

On the Glenbeck program.

Wow.

It really is starting to look like gun control is coming.

We fought it back.

How many times?

A thousand?

A million?

Yeah.

Time after time after time, this same thing happens.

Somebody, you know,

we have have a terrible tragedy and then the guns are blamed and then the Democrats come for the guns and then the Republicans stand up and say,

that's not the issue here.

We need to go after, you know, what's wrong with people who are using the guns and killing other people.

This time,

a little bit different.

Republicans are coalescing.

around

gun control.

The president is talking gun control and talking executive action action and legislation on gun control.

And he is floating this out as a trial balloon to see how you, right now, sitting in your car, are going to react to it.

And I'm wondering if,

like his stand with, let's say, the deficit, which he doesn't care about, now Republicans don't care about it, like his

stand with tariffs.

which he loves, and so now Republicans are fine with it,

are you going to be okay with gun control as well?

I would love to hear legitimately from, I kind of only would like to hear from Trump's supporters on this.

If you're a Trump supporter and you think he's doing a great job, and look, we've talked about this.

There's a lot of things he's done that have been great.

That are great.

I mean, you know,

looking, you know, I mean, the capital of Israel being recognized as Jerusalem is something that not only would a Democrat never do, but I don't think any other Republican candidate would have done it either.

They hadn't.

I mean, how long have we, we've seen multiple presidents, but even the candidates, maybe Cruz?

The only reason I say Cruz is because it was like the first thing he said in his first speech.

Yeah.

I'm going to move that embassy.

That's what he was going to do.

Right.

So maybe Cruz.

But like,

99% of Republican candidates would not have moved that embassy, and Trump has.

And we've praised him endlessly for that without qualification.

His Supreme Court justices have been good.

Yeah, I mean, certainly Gorsuch.

Gorsuch was a complete home run to me.

Kavanaugh, I mean, Kavanaugh he fought for through a completely unfair process, though Kavanaugh I'm much more concerned about than Gorsuch.

But still, there's been a lot of good things, and we don't need to run through the entire list of them.

You know these things.

There are certain things that you wonder if

are you going to be comfortable with them if these lines are crossed?

I was,

you know, I know you were on this bandwagon as well, Pat, and a few of us here at the Blaze, and some in conservative media, more, I would say, in libertarian sort of circles.

I was very disturbed by the bump stock ban and and the way that went down.

It was basically an unquestioned executive action by the president with.

I mean, I don't think you could pass a law constitutionally to ban a gun accessory.

What stops the next president from coming in now and forget the law, but just doing it himself and saying, you know what, pistol grip is just an accessory.

They did bump stocks.

No one fought about that.

It's just an accessory.

They could ban all sorts of things when it comes to guns.

And again, I say this as a guy who is not a gun guy.

I don't care about guns per se.

I care about the Second Amendment.

And I care about the Constitution and the process

that it represents.

Yeah,

I'm the same way.

I mean, I once owned guns.

I don't know what happened.

I lost them both.

I don't know where they are now.

You've lost your guns.

Yeah, so if they ever come for them, you don't need to come to my house because they're gone.

Somebody took them a long time ago.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

That's good.

Yeah.

Right.

So I'm already taken care of on the whole gun confiscation thing.

I don't have them anymore.

I don't know what happened to them.

It's been so long I can't remember now.

Oh, okay.

You know, well, then there's no real reason to go down this road anymore.

There's no real reason to talk.

But yes, I'm, we're big into the Second Amendment.

We're into the Constitution and the Second Amendment.

I believe in that.

I don't know all the

gun terminology, and we get taken to task all the time when we talk about gun terminology because we're not gun enthusiasts.

I don't go hunting.

I've, you know, done some target practicing.

I like it.

It's fun.

Occasionally go to the range.

But I don't do it a lot.

It's not a passion of mine.

Yeah.

And so the Second Amendment is a passion.

Yes, in a big way.

And

it pretty clearly states

shall not be infringed in the middle of it.

It's really clear about that.

It really is.

That doesn't mean when I really want to.

Might be the clearest of all of the Bill of Rights.

Right, because obviously, you you know, the founders knew the second the government gets in there and wants more power, the first thing you're going to do is go after weapons.

Right.

So they made it super duper clear that you can't take them away.

And of course, the Supreme Court has backed that up multiple times.

So what they want to do is

go back to

the thing that's being, I would say, is that is the marquee proposal here is the red flag law.

And the red flag law feels like the right thing to do.

We talked about this yesterday.

It feels like a good idea.

Basically, the concept being if people around you are saying, hey, this guy does not seem stable.

He's got a bunch of guns.

I'm really worried.

You can go to the authorities and say, hey,

Bob over there seems like a psychopath.

You should take his guns.

They'll go in.

They'll take his guns for a short time.

Make sure that he really is a psychopath.

And if they rule that he is, then he doesn't get the guns back.

And everybody's happy.

That's the concept.

That's the happy telling of that story.

So that's a happy telling, too, because we've taken the guns without any sort of due process.

Yes.

Which is terrific.

Right.

I think we're all in favor of jumping right past due process and just go to the punishment first.

It's minority report, right?

It really is.

It's convicting you of a crime that you have not committed.

And this is

not even being, I mean, at least they've got people in milk.

In minority report.

At least they're taking the guns before they even ask the people in milk.

Like, this is like in if in minority report, someone went to Tom Cruise and was like, hey, I got a person over here I think the milk people should look at.

Can you take all their stuff first?

And then they'd take all the stuff and then they'd go ask the milk people.

We haven't even found the twins yet.

Or the chick.

I forget what her name was, but we haven't found any of them.

At least get them first, right?

Back in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.

For years, you've heard me talk about the significant savings American Financing is providing its customers.

Many are adding over $1,000 a month back into their monthly budget, really taking control of their path to financial freedom by lowering their mortgage rate, paying off debt, shortening their loan term.

So, what about you?

Have you made the call yet?

At American Financing, they know your time is important.

Patton Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

So we'd love to hear from you at 888-727-BECK, see what you think about this gun control.

Republicans seem to be on board with it.

The president seems on board with it.

Are you on board with it?

Let's go to Sandy in Ohio.

Hey, Sandy, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Patton Stew.

Hi.

I'm not happy with it.

I called the White House comment line yesterday, and I told the woman that I will not vote for Trump if he

he said he would support our Second Amendment rights in all his rallies.

And I'm not going to go for this.

I called my senator.

I called about five other senators.

And you don't you know, you have to leave a voice message.

And I told them, we have enough laws on the books.

They're not working.

They can abuse this red flag law way too easily.

And the Democrats will.

Definitely the Democrats will

and I also called the NRA and I asked them are they trying to talk to Trump and explain how this can go very bad very quickly

and they said they were so I don't know but

I think a lot of people will not vote for him if he's going to

I mean, we already have red flags, right?

Yep.

Yeah, well, they do exist.

I mean, what they do require is due process, and that's what this changes yeah there are plenty of red flag laws that exist if you want to call them that um the difference is this would let you take confiscate the guns before we've adjudicated anything right what's the what the result is thanks andy uh and it's crazy that's crazy that's un-american And it's unconstitutional as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see how that could be deemed constitutional.

I think so too.

And look, I think Trump has been really good on a lot of these these things.

And I think his record on the Second Amendment since he's taken office has been mixed.

His Supreme Court very, very good.

The bump stock thing, I think, was very bad.

But that being said, I think there is, it's not a core issue of Trump's.

If you go back and look at his writing, he's written books where he came out for the assault weapon ban

in the past, in the past.

I think he's had a conversion on that, but it's not like a core issue.

He has, there's

multiple reports that he's saying with AIDS that he wants to do this.

We've talked about the clip, the section of the book after the Scalise shooting, where he said he wanted to do gun control and have Scalise be the face of it because

he had street credibility.

I think this is one of those things that he would give up if

he believes the American people are fine with it.

If his base is like, you know, look, it's one of these issues.

Maybe you can get a concession on immigration or whatever else.

That would be great.

And if you can do that, fine.

It's just a little minor shaving, a minor, let's call it an infringement infringement on that particular right.

And

if he senses and the White House senses the American people in his base are okay with it, it will happen.

If there is a revolt and they say, dude, we love you, but you can't go here,

I think there's a really good chance he doesn't do it.

I think that is legitimately, we are teetering on that edge today.

is where we are.

I mean, I've been reading the reporting all day.

You look at

where the Republicans are.

The Republicans are the same way.

This isn't a core issue for Republican senators.

They don't care.

Unless you're naming, you know, unless it's like Rand Paul.

You know, there's a few people who really do care about the Second Amendment.

But a lot of them are like, well, look, we can give a little ground here, a little infringement.

It'll help us.

It'll take the political pressure off, and we can do other things.

That is the way a lot of these people in Washington are looking at this.

And if they don't hear your voice,

they're going to go ahead with it.

Adam in North Dakota, you're on the Glen Beck program.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, I think this comes down to shall not be infringed.

Plain and simple.

You know, we've had enough infringements on our Second Amendment rights as it is, and this is just a step too far.

I'll be done with him.

Appreciate it.

Thanks a lot, Adam.

I think that's, you know,

I think that's going to be the viewpoint of a lot of people because this is an important, I mean,

this is a god-given right and and you can't infringe upon it because we all know that you start infringing it's not going to stop

and that's the slippery slope that you start sliding down and it's really tough to stop once you start it and so yeah and i think a lot of second amendment believers understand that concept and i'll break a little news to you and as if i'm breaking news to you because everybody in this audience knows this to be true but the second the left gets their red flag law, there will be another thing they did they demand tomorrow.

And the next time there's one of these incidents, they will demand that and the Republicans will fold on that.

And then we'll give them that and then they'll keep going and they will keep going and they will keep going.

There is no, you can't give an inch on this battle.

First of all, constitutionally, you can't give an inch.

You're not allowed to.

But even if you were allowed to, the second you give an inch to these guys, they are going to try to take every single mile.

Every single inch that they can find.

And they will will add up to multiple miles.

Patton Stuford Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

So what do you think of

Republicans coalescing around gun control?

The president talking about executive orders on gun control,

legislation on gun control.

Multiple senators on record today, Republicans and people in the House, saying they will push through this and they can get it through the red flag laws.

Man.

And it includes other things, too.

You know, some, there's one,

where was here?

Republican

say, I will support legislation that prevents the sale of military-style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red flag legislation.

That's from Michael Turner, Republican.

There's multiple Republicans.

Jon Thune's quoted in here.

McConnell has

yet to commit.

Lindsey Graham, though, is saying he's going to be on board for this.

They have a lot,

and the president is signaling the same thing.

The president has said multiple aides.

They've leaked this to multiple outlets that he is going to, he's testing the waters basically to see what happens.

So that's what we're doing, too, today.

We're doing the same thing.

We're testing the waters.

If you're a Trump supporter, we'd love to hear from you.

888-727-BECK.

Is this too far?

Or is it just ⁇ it's okay.

He's done enough good things that we really like in other areas, and we can deal with

a little bit of erosion here on this particular amendment.

Jack in South Carolina, you're on the Glimpack program with Patton Stu.

Good morning, gentlemen.

How are y'all today?

Doing well.

Two quick things.

A lot of people are missing it.

If they remove the word guns from the speech going on from elected officials right now and replace it or remove guns and replace it with the word speech, how do you want to have the ability to not talk for 30 days

a year until some judge says you're allowed to speak again?

That's incredible.

Yeah.

That is exactly how everybody is.

You wouldn't consider it.

You would would not consider it.

Oh, no.

God, no.

And I also want to remind everybody who is a citizen of the United States, when the Second Amendment was ratified on 15 December, 1791, U.S.

citizens owned their own warships and were able to wage war against the Great Britain.

Right.

It's a fair point.

Yeah.

It is.

You know, I'm thinking, though, Pat, we go a little bit further with this.

Thanks, John.

Really good point.

Maybe we do this with all the amendments.

And at any time that we want, we can just, if we report that we don't think a person's going to be in a good frame of mind, we can go to the authorities and suspend particular amendments.

Like I would say, right before, let's say, early November, we go and we say, you know, that 19th Amendment?

I just, I'm not crazy about it.

And here's the thing.

A lot of the women I know are nuts, and they should have that voting thing suspended

for just like a week or two.

Until December.

First week in December.

Yeah, first week of December they're going to have that back.

I mean, we just want to make sure that they're not erratic.

And if you rule, if a judge rules that it's okay for them to have their voting rights back, okay, of course.

Of course.

This is a sensible, common sense solution.

But we'll just repeat the 19th Amendment can be infringed a little bit for a week or two.

What's the big deal?

I mean,

this road is not a good road.

You'd have revolution in the streets.

If you tried that.

Yeah, you would.

Teresa in Florida, you're on the Glenbeck program.

Hi.

Yes, good morning.

Good morning, gentlemen.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

I wrote emails and I called all of my representatives yesterday.

I sent them about 14,000 word-paged document expressing my concerns about these red flag laws.

And as a single woman in Florida, the gun is the great equalizer.

It is the only thing that gives me enough time to save myself.

On average, I've been in gun classes.

On average, it's 15 minutes before a cop shows up.

And these incidents took less than four seconds for the carnage to occur.

And I told them, all of them,

because I voted for Trump and I voted for Senator Rubio and I voted for Rick Scott.

and I voted for Congressman Nest, that they intend to take away my Second Amendment rights.

I will not vote for them and their agenda.

And Rubio's been one of the people who's pushed this the most.

Thanks, frankly.

He was pushing it before this.

He's a big red flag guy.

And look, there are smart people who are conservatives that think this is a good, sensible, mid-ground step.

It's not just liberals pushing this.

It's not.

And it's not just like rhino types.

There are people who think this is a good idea, but

you got to be really careful with it.

I mean, it's not

without smart people arguing for it, but I just don't see how you can go down this road and be confident about it.

I mean, think for a second about the way conservatives have been treated on the internet when it comes to social networks.

Basically, Twitter has a red flag law, right?

Facebook has a red flag law that they implement.

Certainly much more competent companies than our government.

And they implement this idea.

If people flags your posts, if people say you're too controversial, if you're doing something out of step with the community, Twitter can rule on whether you get to keep your account.

And how's that working out for conservatives so far?

Good?

It doesn't seem like it to me.

Again, this is speech.

Now, this is not through the government, so it's not a constitutional violation like I think red flag laws are.

But this is, has this worked?

Dana Lash makes this point in a column she wrote for the Federalists about red flag laws.

And if you think the idea of people

who are,

you know, if you think the Twitter and Facebook thing's working out well for speech when it comes to whether your speech is too controversial, think about that applied to the government.

When people say, you know what, supporting this particular group is dangerous.

It's a terrorist group.

I mean, gosh.

You know,

the Southern Poverty Law Center said David Barton was a terrorist.

I mean, you want to go down this road?

It is a road that does not end with your guns in your house.

I'll tell you that.

Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show, Tocovis.

Patent stew for Glenn this week.

Triple eight 900.

No, triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

Almost gave my phone number for Pack Ray Unleashed, which you can hear right before this show.

But 727 B E C K after the triple eight for this show.

And we just want to hear from Trump supporters.

You voted for Trump last time.

You're excited about Trump.

What do you think of the potential executive order on gun control?

What do you think of the legislation?

The Republicans coalescing around gun control.

Big headline yesterday on Drudge Report, Republicans coalesce around gun control.

I really have never, I wouldn't have believed you'd see that headline

even two weeks ago.

And, you know, the Republicans in Congress have absolutely no spine, as we know, and they will back off of this immediately if Trump says no.

If Trump says, you know what, no, we're not doing this, they will not even.

They will.

Because if Trump says, you know what, if you bring it in here, I'm vetoing it.

It's dead.

Well, they're only coalescing around it because Trump is.

Right.

So I think they would vote for it.

You know, left to their own devices, would they vote for it?

Probably because they are, you know, this is what Republican Congress people do a lot of times.

But if they are given the cover of Donald Trump, oh, they're definitely absolutely there.

This will pass with 80 votes.

Yeah.

So I would love to see, I would love to hear from people.

And, you know, we'll obviously take calls from anybody any day most of the time.

But today, I would like, if you were a Trump skeptic, if you were a person who was like, I don't really like the guy, but you pulled the trigger at the, you know, the last second and voted for him, if you're one of these people who doesn't think he's so great, that's not, it's, now is not the time to call.

I would like to hear from people who really like him,

but seeing this about to happen, what is your reaction?

Are you okay with it?

Or is this like a message?

Because we have seen time and time again, when Trump likes it, so do Republicans.

Yeah, that's it.

When Trump likes it, so do supporters.

It's just a phenomenon that we've seen repeated over and over and over and over again.

I mean, even hardcore people who have been talking against tariffs their entire lives, all of a sudden are fine with tariffs.

I mean, you know, again, shall we remember that Larry Kudlow is currently serving

in the White House, the guy who's like the face of the free trade movement for three decades and

will come out in front of cameras and talk about tariffs.

So,

you know, I mean, it's, it is.

And be good with it.

And be okay with it.

Not just talk about it, but be good with it.

It makes sense.

These tariffs make sense.

We got to stop China.

And I think, like, look, there's a big separation in that.

Free trade is not a core idea of the average Republican voter.

Like, it is something that has been very central to the small government movement.

But, like, you know, it's not something that the everyday person is thinking about.

The Second Amendment is a different story.

It has always been a major line for

certainly a talk radio audience.

It shall not be infringed.

The Constitution is important and we need to respect it.

Is this okay?

Is this something that you can deal with?

888-727-BEC is the number.

Diana in Massachusetts.

You're on the Glenn Beck program with Patton, too.

Hi.

Hi, this is Diana, and I am the founder and president of a group called MA Number 4 Trump.

And we still 100%

support President Trump.

However, we are making known that we do not want these red flag laws.

Massachusetts already shares that.

So

we are pushing.

Last night I did my weekly live stream and telling people to send letters to the White House, emails, emails from the NRA, emails from Goal, emails from anybody to tweet President Trump, to tweet the administration.

We still support him,

but

we have to support him this way

because we have to start doing some of the heavy lifting and letting people know that, no, we are drawing the line.

We are not supporting red flag laws.

Absolutely not.

That's great.

Thanks for doing that, Diane.

I appreciate it.

Hopefully, that will have an impact on him.

When he sees hardcore supporters saying, please don't do this.

Don't do this.

This is not the right way to go.

Maybe that'll have an effect on him.

I think if he sees that his supporters, his base is upset about this, maybe that changes his mind.

We'll see.

I think there's a really good chance of it.

But

he's got to hear from you

today.

Yes.

Today.

On social media.

Certainly Twitter is a good place for that sort of

outlet today, I would say.

And again,

I think you can be very...

respectful and be and be a person who's honest about hey I'm not sure supporters will be respectful yeah of course but I mean it's it's like, it's just like, look,

we love you, man, but like, not this.

You can't do this.

And, you know, I don't think it's a core issue of his where he would see this as like a massive deal.

Well, I don't want crazy people to have guns.

I think we talked about this yesterday.

It's one of the more, it's one of the, it's a thing that feels okay.

It feels sensible to be able to take guns away from a person that everyone around him says is a bad person.

I mean, it feels okay.

And it feels okay.

And, you know, the other thing that feels okay are background checks.

And he's saying that background checks are a good idea.

Well, yeah, that's why we have them.

Yeah, we do have them.

That's why we do them almost universally.

The only time you don't get a background check is if I sell a gun to you and we have a private transaction between the two of us and I say, hey, you know, I've got this gun, which I don't anymore because I don't know what happened to them.

They're completely gone.

I forget where they went.

They're responsible, Pat.

Yeah, I know, but it's so.

It's been so many years now.

But it's been years, and I've just forgotten.

But if I had them still and I wanted to sell them to you, there's no way I can do a background.

You can't do a background check unless we go to a dealer and have you call in and do a background check.

I mean, look, there is a.

And you could do that because if I sell you a gun and it's proven later that you're not eligible to that, then I'm liable for that.

And that's already the law.

So if there is risk, if you sell somebody, like a private transaction between two people,

and that person that buys the gun from somebody isn't eligible to own guns, then the seller can be held accountable as well.

Yeah, look, and there are.

So you take a risk not getting the background check.

I think it was the, I want to say it was the church shooting that happened a couple of years ago.

They,

the shooter, I think, I think it was that one.

Was that was that

I'm getting the name.

Is it Dylan Roof that was who I'm thinking of?

Anyway, I think it was one of these shooting situations where the guy actually did violate.

He

should not have been able to purchase the gun.

Had the background check.

It went for three days, and the government was like, well, I don't know.

We can't really make a decision.

And

they were able to buy the gun and wound up using it in a mass shooting.

And so one of the arguments being made is we need to extend that window, right?

So that the government can now take a couple weeks to decide whether you're able to execute your constitutional right.

Look, that needs to be an instant system or nothing.

I mean, three days is stretching it.

Yeah, it is.

You know, 90% of them, I think, go through almost instantly, but there are that 10% that.

Yeah, you got to come back.

Yeah.

And so, but I mean, two weeks?

You're telling me this.

Come on, that's ridiculous.

Come on.

What year is it?

Right.

What freaking year is it?

It's 2019.

You can't do a background check in less than three days that's ridiculous it's asinine it's asinine uh dave in new york you're on the glenbeck program with patents too high

hey how are you um i'm just calling in to uh get my opinion out there and uh some of my close friends and family that we live up here in new york we already see where the gun control machine goes and um

we couldn't in good conscience vote for Donald Trump or any other candidate that pushes gun control and wants to defraud U.S.

citizens of their rights.

Like I said, we already live under it.

We voted for Donald Trump because he promised to support our Second Amendment rights, because he promised that he was going to try to protect us.

And we were all hoping that federal legislation would go through, some Supreme Court justices would be in, which he has done, and hoping that maybe some unconstitutional laws that exist up here in New York would be reversed.

And it seems that it's going the other way.

That's very troubling for us up here.

Absolutely.

Thanks a lot, Dave.

AJ in Pennsylvania, you're on the blaze or the Glen Beck program also on the blaze as well.

Hey, how's it going?

Is this the Blaze?

Are you sure?

Yes.

We think.

For the moment, yes.

Hey, guys.

So I'm a really big Trump supporter, big gun guy.

And the problem is if he does this, who else do we have left?

Obviously, the other side and their candidates are completely nuts.

So they're not an option.

But with these red flag laws that they're talking about, where anybody can just say, hey, I think that person's crazy and you should take their guns, that is the beginning of our

infringement on our Fourth Amendment rights of unreasonable search and seizure.

And it's slipping slope, and I think it's just going to spiral out of control.

Yeah, no, I think it's true.

You know, and that's a great point.

Dana writes about this as well.

This is what Dana Lash writes in the Federalists.

There's nuance to be had here for sure, but realize that it is an abrogation of due process to invert the the order of innocent until proven guilty to somewhat guilty until proven innocent.

The question isn't whether these laws do this.

The question is whether you feel comfortable giving up a cornerstone of our republic for a safety dependent upon enforcement by a government that has failed at this before and has, you know, fails at everything else, too.

Yeah.

So you're talking about the second amendment.

You're talking about the fourth amendment.

You're talking about the fifth amendment.

Parts of the sixth, the eighth.

It's when does it end?

When does it end?

It doesn't.

Once you start down this road, it doesn't.

No, it doesn't.

And here's a, can I make a very meager and mild proposal here, Pat?

And I know this is something that we just can't as a society handle.

But let's just say it's the right thing to do, the red flag law.

And let's just say constitutionally you can do it, which I don't think you can.

But let's just say you can.

Okay.

With all the certainty of human nature behind me, we should wait a month to do it.

Because you never make the right decision in an emotional state right after a tragedy.

You don't make massive financial decisions after, you know, your wife and kids were in a terrible car accident and you're sitting there being like, all right, well, this is what I'm going to plan X, Y, and Z.

You want to be in a sober decision-making state.

And right now,

they keep saying, well, we got to do it.

It just happened.

We got to take advantage of this emotion.

Think of what they're telling you.

They're telling you we want to take advantage of this emotion.

They're telling you we're not going to let this crisis go to waste.

It's like going to the grocery store when you haven't eaten for two days.

Yeah.

You're going to make some bad decisions.

You're going to make a lot of bad decisions there.

So instead, when you're not smart.

No, you prepare your meal at a time where you're thinking maybe right after you ate.

when you're full and you're like, well, my next meal, can I do something healthy?

I feel good.

And this is what the situation is here.

You can't make a decision in this aftermath.

And it's funny because you hear like New Zealand praised for this.

Oh, well, they had a mass shooting and in three days they banned all weapons.

And it's like, you're proud of that?

That's a terrible way to run a government.

It's ridiculous.

Like, it's like,

oh, well, you know, every time you have a tragedy or some big emotional situation,

you rush through legislation that's binding for all time.

That's a terrible idea.

Wait until there's, you want to have a law, you want to have a calm debate about this at a time that isn't in the immediate aftermath over one of these things.

You can at least, it would at least make sense to attempt it there if it was constitutional, which, by the way, it's not.

It's just not.

And that means something.

Not constitutional,

that should still have some teeth.

It doesn't seem to anymore, but it should.

Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 88-8,

727, BECK.

We've been talking about whether or not you approve of President Trump and Republicans in Congress folding on gun control.

Now, they're talking about red flag laws.

They're talking about executive action on certain guns.

Who knows what all they're going to do?

But I've never seen anything like this as far as Republicans being amenable to some sort of gun control.

I don't remember this ever happening before.

Yeah, I mean, usually they really hold the line when we get these tragedies, and then the first thing the left jumps to us, we've got to get the the gun.

It was the gun that crawled in there and started shooting people.

No, it really wasn't.

There was somebody holding it and pulling the trigger.

You notice that?

Yeah.

That's crazy.

In virtually every case.

In every case.

Well, yes, all cases.

In every single case, there was a person involved.

Well, what about the time?

Was there ever a mass shooting done by that hand that's on the Adams family?

No.

Just a hand?

No, the thing.

Yeah, the thing has never.

Is that true?

Yes, never been involved in a mass shooting.

I'm going to look that up.

We have confirmed.

Can we get Snopes on that?

I'll look here in a minute.

Okay.

But I'm pretty sure about that.

Meantime, let's talk to

is it Bo or Bowie in New York?

Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hey.

Hey.

Yeah, this is Bo.

How you doing?

Bo.

I'm from the socialist state of New York.

Okay.

And the reason I say,

dude, we got Andrew Cuomo.

If anybody looks up what the SAFE Act is, they're in New York.

Okay, the red flag laws are up here.

don't, if you hate your neighbor, you got pissed off at him, and you know he's a hunter, all you got to do is go down and say he's he could have a problem, or this and they come and take your guns.

Well, yeah, that's what I'm concerned with.

Yeah, what if somebody is really pissed off at you?

They could just they can just go to the authorities and make stuff up about you, right?

Yeah, one of the so there is there is a pushback by some Republicans who are saying, like, and Dana mentions this in her piece.

I think David French talks about this in his, and where he kind of supports it.

But the idea being that there is some sort of, if you go with a false, fraudulent claim, there is a there's an action that

could be penalty.

Yeah, you can't just go and accuse everybody you don't like of these issues.

Um, so you know, but again, you know, you've we've seen how that's worked before.

I mean, those laws don't work particularly well, but there would be something maybe worked into it.

So I'm sensing, both, that uh, you're, you'd be a no on gun control, right?

No, hell, I won't vote for guns.

It was either shoot yourself in the head with Hillary or shoot yourself in the

with Trump.

I took the Trump, and

you know, I'm starting to think he's going to make a shoot ourselves in the head.

I hope not.

Appreciate the call, though.

We got to let him know

we don't want this to happen.

AAAAA-727-BECK with your thoughts.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glenbeck program.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn this week.

He will return Monday.

Most of the same

broadcasting station network thing.

Triple 8 727 BECK.

We've been talking about the potential for gun control because

huge drudge headline Republicans coalesce around gun control.

Yeah.

Yay!

Finally,

it's happening.

You know what I love, Pat?

Bipartisan solutions.

Thank you.

How long have we been waiting for bipartisanship here?

I do.

I will say I do require that they're common sense.

They need to be this.

The sense behind them needs to be common for me to approve.

And that's why I love this: bipartisan solutions,

common sense.

All the solutions that you need.

Now, Now, we can all talk about how none of the things they're proposing would have done anything in the mass shootings that we're talking about.

Nor are they common sense.

Nor are they common sense at all because the common sense is usually, I mean, you kind of would define that as maybe the Constitution.

The actual common sense of the nation would be, thou shalt not infringe.

And I do use thou.

I like to add thou into the Constitution to make it sound more sense.

Not be infringed seems to be a pretty clear statement.

Now, maybe I'm making too much of of it, but when it says shall not be infringed, I take that to mean you won't, you shouldn't infringe it

upon it.

Yes, that's a right that you have that you leave alone.

I would tend to agree with you on this.

Okay, so I'm not out on a limb.

No, not too much.

I love this idea, though.

You know, look, this doesn't happen anywhere else, Pat.

You know, this is the only country where this happens.

The only place people die

is in the United States of America.

I love that argument.

So, one of the things that, you know, of course, it's obviously not true.

It does happen.

There's something like 53rd in mass shootings.

It depends on, yeah, it depends on how you calculate.

Mass shootings is one way of looking at it.

You have to look at it per capita.

I love this because they were like,

well,

I mean, this is legitimately the basic basis of it.

People just don't think about the idea that you can't compare a small European country to a large

United States.

We can't compare Liechtenstein's death rate to the United States.

They're like, well, we haven't heard about one of these shootings in New Zealand and how long?

Well, it's New Zealand.

They shouldn't have any shootings.

They've got 18 people there.

A mass shooting wipes out the whole population in New Zealand.

And so, I mean, the New Zealand rate is much higher.

You are more than four times as likely to die in a mass shooting in New Zealand than you are in the United States.

More than four times as likely.

Wow.

That's a crazy stat.

It is a crazy stat.

And

it's a true stat.

And even if you take out the most recent mass shooting, you're still almost two times as likely to

be shot.

Because they have mass shootings, but they're not anymore because they banned guns, and so nobody can get them except bad people.

Only the criminal.

Norway, with its really wildly liberal laws on guns, well, you know, they only had the biggest mass shooting in history.

That wasn't the government.

Now, of course, the government is responsible for all the top 25,000 mass shootings.

But if you go to an individual, it's Norway, at least in recent memory, and that was 91, I believe it was.

91-ish.

I think a couple people died in a bombing as well in that one.

Bottom line is it was a really terrible, terrible incident.

And many of them were children.

Just a lot of them.

Most of them were children that died in that.

And that was, now he did go to an island, so he was very isolated when he did these things.

But what I think you find is while you can make an argument that we have more mass shootings as far as frequency goes than some other places, they're usually

much less devastating.

They're not of the numbers that, you know, 91 people in Norway.

I mean, that would be like how many people dying here?

Oh.

I I mean, thousands.

Hundreds, thousands.

So, you know, when you come to that level, but I love that one of my favorite parts of that argument is they'll be like, look, we have the highest gun violence rate in the world.

Of course, it's not true.

We're like, I think 20th is where we rank in the gun violence

chart.

However,

when you die,

let's say you're about to get murdered, Pat.

Yeah.

And someone, let's say, stabs you in the heart and you're about to die.

Are your last words something like, I'm so glad glad you stabbed me.

At least it wasn't a gun.

If you're getting murdered, it doesn't matter if it's a gun.

So like, for example, Pakistan has a much lower gun violence rate than the United States of America.

However, their murder rate is double ours.

Are you happy about that?

Wow.

Are you excited?

Because just because they're killing people in different ways,

you know, Russia is the same thing.

Russia, we own guns at a rate 10 times the amount of Russia.

We have 10 times the amount of guns per capita.

However, as a little minor thing, is they have a much higher murder rate, a much higher suicide rate, and a much higher rate of journalists ingesting large amounts of rare poisons than we do.

Would you rather live in Russia?

Which one?

Are you excited about that?

Because I'm not.

Yeah, well, which would you rather die of?

Palladium-5

or a gunshot to the head?

No, no, that's true.

I think for me, it's a gunshot to the head.

I think so, too.

Yeah, it's over a little bit quicker that way.

Less suffering.

I think that's a good thing.

Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

All right, let's get your thoughts on this gun control situation.

Seriously,

I'm still, after everything that's happened leading up to now, all the craziness that goes on in our civilization, I'm still surprised by certain things, like the Republicans all caving in on gun control legislation, potential legislation on gun control, or like the president who is about to take executive action on gun control, unless you tell him otherwise, unless you demand that that not happen.

And I think that's what it's going to take.

He's going to have to hear from people who supported him, people who love him, but they disagree with him strongly on this particular issue.

You've got to call the White House and let them know

today

because this could happen pretty quickly.

Nick in Ohio, you're on the Glenbeck program with Patton Stew.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

I think we're kind of in a no-win situation if they push this at all.

Because everybody is saying, well, if Trump pushes this, we won't vote for him.

And that sounds good, but what are really the alternatives?

There's not another Republican with enough spine to even take on Trump, let alone try to beat a Democrat.

Yeah.

That's a tough situation because what are you going to do?

Vote for Bernie Sanders?

No.

Yeah, and we're not there yet.

This is not a time where you have to make that decision.

I think it's important

that they because I think you're right.

If they go down this road, then you have neither side supporting the Second Amendment.

And most people will say, I guess, I mean, at least Trump's good on other things.

However, there's still plenty of time to stop him from doing this.

And

I don't think this is a huge, I don't think Donald Trump walks into the White House and is like, I can't wait to get a chance to get gun control through.

I think he sees this as

something he's constantly dealing with politically.

And he wants to show that he can, it's an easy win for him politically.

And if his base doesn't care, might as well go ahead with it.

I think that's the way he's probably looking at it.

But when he finds out his base does care, hopefully

that influences it.

I think there's a good chance he changes.

More than any other president that I can remember, he reacts to his base.

He will listen.

He will listen to you.

I mean, he's listened to the American people, to the people of this audience many times.

Where people have said, hey, you know what?

I love you, but not here.

Don't do this.

Hey, it's okay.

Some of the stuff

bothers me, but it's all right, but not this one.

When that line is drawn, we've seen it on Fox, where he's reacted to

segments and criticisms from particular Fox

broadcasters and guests and quoted their analysis and said, you know what,

this is the right way to go.

And there's people around him, too.

I mean, Mick Bulvaney is no anti-Second Amendment guy, and he's the chief of staff.

So hopefully he's making these arguments and making sure that your voice is heard in that White House.

I think he is.

And I think Trump has, there's a good chance he reacts to it.

Brian, in Utah, you're on the the Glenn Beck program.

Yeah, I think this is mostly about understanding and feelings.

And

to kind of see where I'm going with this, is I don't understand alcohol drinkers.

I don't drink alcohol.

But I don't go after them.

The CDC says that alcohol deaths are 88,000 a year.

And they also say that gun violence, there's 40,000 people that die a year.

So double the people are dying from alcohol.

But you don't see me going after alcohol companies and telling them to stop drinking alcohol just because I don't do it.

Yeah.

No.

And yeah, that's a very good point.

And that number 40,000 is, of course, 60, over 65% includes

suicide.

Accidental deaths.

Now, I will say the one thing that they have, they do believe.

They do not believe that there is any evidence.

whatsoever.

There's not one shred of evidence that says a red flag law has ever stopped even one mass shooting.

There's no evidence of that at all.

They do believe that it has a very small effect on

limiting suicides.

Because what happens is you say, hey, I want to take my guns away from my son.

I think he's

a danger to himself.

And they think about one...

About out of every 10 to 15 of these red flag laws, you know, usages of these laws, it may prevent one suicide.

That is really where this could make a little bit of ground.

It has nothing to do with mass shootings, which is part of the reason why it's really frustrating here, because they're using the emotion of a mass shooting to say, oh, we're doing something about it.

And they're going to pass something that infringes the Second Amendment.

And really, if there's any benefit to this law at all, it's likely to do with suicide and not mass shootings.

So you're using the emotion of one thing to try to get a law through that, I think, breaks the Constitution and may benefit in one area, but I mean, there's other ways to benefit in that area.

I mean, people kill themselves all the time.

It's like you don't need a gun to kill themselves.

Every time I go on Twitter, I know that.

People tell me all sorts of different ways to kill myselves.

There's lots of different examples of the way that can happen.

And you'll see, again, like Russia has a much higher suicide rate than we do with almost no guns.

So is Japan.

You know, that's you don't need a gun to kill yourself, but it is, you know, that is, to be fair and give both sides of it, that is one of the benefits they think may actually happen if you passed a red flag law.

Patton Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Back program.

Just getting your thoughts on this gun control possibility.

The Republicans apparently on board.

The president seemingly on board.

So he needs to hear from you and get your thoughts on whether or not we should be doing executive orders on gun control or pushing Republicans into crafting legislation

for more strict legislation on guns.

You know,

in the places where

The gun control legislation is the stiffest, we have the highest murder rates.

Baltimore, Chicago.

Yeah.

And by the way, Maryland also passed a red flag law along with many other gun restrictions and one of the most widely wide-ranging gun restriction laws we've seen since Sandy Hook, which a bunch of states passed things.

And again, since then,

Baltimore has vaulted to the top of the murder rate capital of the United States.

Yeah.

It's just fascinating.

They're fascinating.

Number one large city for homicides.

Number two overall.

So things are not going really well on that front in Baltimore, right?

I mean, they just don't work.

The idea, and all of these, like, I always get, I'm always,

I always find it to be comical when you say, well, what we're going to do is we're going to stop, let's just say we're going to stop assault weapons, the assault weapons ban.

Now, they did a study on this after they had it here for 10 years, 1994 to 2004, where they found it had no discernible effect on gun violence rates.

That is what the actual government study that looked at the policy said.

It had absolutely no discernible effect on gun rates.

And by the way, the thing we do know is there was a lot more guns owned by Americans after the 10 years.

A big part of that is like, if you've got, how much was, I mean, I remember this a long time ago, Pat, I believe you bought an AR-15.

Now, since then, that's been long lost

and you do not have it anymore.

That's not what happened.

But when you bought it, that was what, $1,500, $2,000 gun.

Yeah.

It's an expensive gun.

So now let's say we ban those.

They can't be sold anymore.

You've got $2,000 you can spend on guns.

What do you do?

You probably buy two, three guns.

You're going to buy several handguns, most likely.

And that was the result of that 10 years.

There are a lot more guns out there than there were before.

Way more people die from handguns than rifles.

About 80% of all gun deaths come from handguns.

Let me ask you this, Pat.

Is there not a tinge

of racism involved in the way people talk about these things?

Because, you you know, we make a big deal about assault weapons, and they are always trying to ban assault weapons because,

you know, these big high-profile incidents

happen in places like El Paso and

in malls and schools and all these things.

Yet, you know, African Americans are being executed in Chicago by the day and no one cares.

Yeah.

You know, Baltimore, no one cares.

St.

Louis, no one cares.

Yeah, they don't even mention it.

They don't even mention it.

And when you bring it up, you're like, oh, well, why are you bringing that up?

Because what are you trying to do there?

It's like, well,

objectively.

I thought violent lives matter.

Yeah, to me, they do.

They do.

Objectively, this everyday grind of murder is a much larger problem than mass shootings.

Mass shootings are dramatic.

They play to the news well.

They're horrible, horrible events.

And obviously, we want to stop them.

But like the everyday grind, like you don't care if your son gets executed in an interaction whether they're going to a convenience store in Chicago or if they're in a mall in a suburb.

Like that is not, you lose your relative, and it's happening a lot more often in those communities.

And the American people just, in the media at least, doesn't seem to care about it at all.

It just seems to be, you know, eh, whatever.

It's a throw your hands up thing.

Ah, well, look, it's Chicago.

And if you ask about it, you're racist.

It's like, well, no, actually, we're the ones trying to do something about it.

What are you doing about it?

I mean, I hear you complaining all the time about mass shootings, and believe me, they deserve to be complained about, and we should do what we can to stop them, you know, within the bounds of the Constitution.

However, like, this is a much, objectively, a much larger problem.

It's affecting a lot more people, and the media never seems to care about it at all.

Right.

That's right.

Because they actually don't care about human life.

They just care about their political agenda.

Let's see.

Al in Michigan, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning.

I'm listening to you, and I think you're hitting

all the points that are going through my mind.

But this comes across to me

as

the civil

forfeiture model.

You know, so you sit there and you're going,

what could possibly go wrong with civil forfeiture?

Right, where they confiscate first, ask questions later.

Right.

Now,

how do you how do you afford

your legal representation?

You want to get your 5,000 back, but it's going to cost you 10 grand for the lawyers and so forth.

You know, I'm going, this is ridiculous that

you completely toss out

the Bill of Rights that,

you know, all of the amendments that you were speaking of, you know, where is your Fourth Amendment right?

Where's your Fifth Amendment right?

That

it's almost, it would be almost laughable if it if it wasn't potentially so

wide open to abuse and fraud.

So

appreciate it.

Thanks, Al.

Exactly right.

Major, major risk.

Eddie in Ohio.

Hi, you're on the Glen Beck program.

A point I wanted to make was yesterday in

Ohio, our governor, Mike DeWine, had a press conference, and he's outlining a 16-point plan on more gun control in Ohio.

The few points that he did make, which I happen to agree with, is

more addressing mental illness.

Because, you know, when these massacres took place, we have some real whack jobs, especially the one here in Dayton, Ohio the other day.

And I'm not a big Mike DeWine fan, but I happen to agree with them.

That take away the guns, these people that are using them with these mass killings.

There's something wrong.

Yeah, and I think that's the, you know, the best look at the approach for the red flag law, which is saying, like, this isn't address of mental health.

There are people, you know, like this is something realistically, we keep hearing these things where this guy was doing X, Y, and Z.

I wish we could could have stopped him, and they didn't.

You know, of course, that could have been adjudicated.

Usually, there has to be a process, and I think the reversal of that process, essentially putting the guilt before the assumption of innocence, is the issue here.

That's the problem.

It's just not in our system, and you don't get that availability.

You don't get to switch that around when you feel like it's really important.

Gonna talk to somebody who heard all the stories about Baltimore, decided to take some action about it.

Next,

Patton Stewart for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

He returns on Monday.

You know, there's a thing that people do, I guess, that is act as if everything Donald Trump says is terrible.

Like, you have to disagree with it.

If he says the sky is blue, well, you say it's red.

If he says Baltimore is not a nice place and needs to be cleaned up, you say it's a paradigm.

That's almost an actual resort.

It's an all-expenses paid sandals.

It's called an inclusive resort.

Yeah.

And that is what happened when he did the tweet about Baltimore.

And

it created a lot of activity in the media in which they went to defend Baltimore and confirm that Donald Trump is a racist.

Just because he spoke truth.

I mean, there are a lot of rats in Baltimore, and it does have some serious, serious issues.

We all know it's crime-ridden, and

it's a little bit

messy.

It is a little bit messy.

It's a messy.

And even some of the residents went out to show you the mess.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, they were not hiding it.

No.

They're not happy with the situation there.

But it wasn't all like negative activity that was inspired by these tweets.

Scott Pressler saw the tweets, thought about it, and decided to do something a little bit different.

And Scott joins us now.

Scott, welcome to the program.

Thank you.

Good morning.

How are you, gentlemen?

Really well.

Thanks for coming on.

So you saw Donald Trump's tweets.

You saw what he was saying about

Baltimore.

You didn't go and run and say, well, this guy's a racist and go protest him.

You did something else.

Can you talk about it?

Absolutely.

Well, you know, I was inspired by President Trump's tweet, and what I saw is a whole lot of talking going on.

Everybody was whining,

complaining, and nobody was actually doing.

So I said, you know what?

I put out one tweet, just one tweet saying, I'm going to Baltimore, even if it's me standing on the street corner all by myself, and I'm going to go pick up trash.

And that one tweet went viral.

And people all across the country were saying, Scott, how can I contribute?

What can I do?

How can I support your efforts?

And so I never thought that Monday was going to be a nationwide effort, but it truly was.

That's fantastic.

So you actually, now, where do you live?

I'm in Northern Virginia.

Okay.

So it's, what, an hour or two?

An hour to Baltimore from Fairfax?

Hour and a half?

Yep.

Yeah.

Okay.

So you go to Baltimore and you start just cleaning up trash and things that you that you see in neighborhoods.

And were there people actually there to help by then?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, we actually drove around a couple hours to find the perfect spot.

I really wanted to make the most difference in the most amount of time.

So we were over at North Fulton and Westwood Avenue, right in the heart of the city of West Baltimore, where the Freddie Gray protests were going on.

Literally, we didn't go to a nice part of Baltimore.

We didn't go to the Inner Harbor or Baltimore Convention Center.

We were in the heart of West Baltimore.

And plenty of parking was there.

We had dumpsters set up, and there was plenty of trash for us to go around.

But here's the best part, gentlemen.

The best part was the locals, within five minutes of setting up, came up and were thanking us for being there once we said we were there to pick up trash.

And they came to help.

People that lived there on that very street corner came by in an act of love and community to come together.

Did you

see any rats along the way?

I only saw one.

Wow.

No, I mean that very respectfully.

Yeah, that's great.

I have to make something very clear on this radio call with you.

The people of Baltimore love

their city.

They really do.

Yeah.

And it's not the people, really, that this is happening.

The city is forgetting its own people.

These are the forgotten citizens of Baltimore.

Because take a drive, take a drive in Baltimore City.

What do you see?

You see bandos everywhere.

You see abandoned buildings, which are unsafe, hazardous, and a lot of them are owned by the city.

Well, what happens at these bandos?

Well, illegal dumping goes on.

So I'm talking to a grandmother out there who says that her grandchildren have to go out and play in this belt, and it's unsafe, it's hazardous.

There's glass, there, like we said, there was a rat literally there dead in the street where the grandchildren play.

No, the city needs to stop forgetting its people, take care of the bandos, take care of the illegal dumpings, because the people of Baltimore shouldn't have to live this way.

There seems to be a massive difference in the reaction from the political class, the Elijah Cummings of the world, and the media.

And then on the other side of this, the actual citizens, because a lot of

outwardly obvious conservatives have gone into Baltimore here and tried to make a difference.

The reaction from the people of Baltimore isn't, hey, get out of here.

You support Donald Trump.

It's thank you for actually caring for a second about us.

Which is great.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And business owners came over immediately.

I mean, literally, we were there for an hour.

Mr.

Tang, who owns a store in the street corner, we're literally outside of his store.

It says, make our streets clean again.

Mr.

Tang brought over sweepers and said, what can I give you?

Do you want soda?

Do you want water?

Do you want drinks?

And he generously gave our volunteers some drinks.

And then Mr.

Williams, the funeral home owner,

he came over and said, What can I do to help?

He says, The next time that you have this, we're going to let the entire community know.

So, our goal, and I might be putting the cart before the horse, is we want to do more of these.

And when we come back to West Baltimore, because we want to go block by block, street by street, you can bet I'm going to tell Mr.

Kang we're doing this.

You can bet I'm going to tell Mr.

Williams we're doing this.

And we're going to form a community where we all come together and just clean up the street.

How can people get involved with that effort, Scott?

Is there a place you can go and sign up and find out more?

Yeah, people can either go to scottpressler.org.

Pressler has one S, scottpressler.org, or find me on Twitter.

My DMs are open, even though I have 319,000 followers.

I read my direct messages.

So if you'd like to be a part of this, please let me know.

I literally, I don't sleep.

I spend all of my life reading DMs, calling people.

So whether you're in L.A., San Francisco, Houston, Detroit, Michigan, let's start cleaning up our cities across the country and show people that we give a darn.

That's great.

Well, thank you so much for taking the step and actually, you know, doing something instead of just, you know,

like us, just blabbing about it all day.

But I do appreciate you actually doing something about it.

It's important, man.

And, you know, I think other cities, I bet, are going to jump on this bandwagon as well and hope that you come

visit them because

Baltimore is not alone here.

And Baltimore was kind of singled out just because of the Cummings part of it with the little battle they have going on.

But this is going on all across the country.

Oh, I can confirm with you right now.

We're already planning in Newark, New Jersey, and L.A.

Those are already going on right as we speak.

You might also consider San Francisco, California, which has a little bit of an issue.

All right, Scott, thanks a lot.

Appreciate what you're doing.

That's great.

Scott Pressler, it's scottpressler.org, P-R-E-S-L-E-R.

Or you can get him on Twitter at Scott Pressler.

That's cool.

I love those stories.

We had a guy.

That's awesome.

We had a couple guys on, I don't know, it was maybe a year or two ago that were libertarians, and they were just like, you know, we're just going to go fill potholes around the city.

And they just went and paved them.

They paved it.

And they just paved potholes all around the city by themselves.

Wow.

And, of course, obviously the city had to step in and try to stop them.

Well, yeah.

You don't want people doing good things on their own.

Or the guy, remember remember the guy who they were going to spend like $50,000 on this four-step staircase and he just decided just as a carpenter, went out and built it himself.

And then they like condemned it.

It was like a perfectly fine thing.

And they tore it down and they rebuilt it

for a new cost just because the city couldn't take it.

You can't have a guy just doing some work on his own.

I love when people do that because that is really much closer to the vision of this country that our founders had.

No doubt about it.

You know, step up, do it yourself.

The federal government's not going to even be involved.

And we used to, when people would show up when there would be disasters, the people would show up to the feds and say, you know what, go home.

We don't need your help.

We're going to do this ourselves.

That was the attitude of this country for a very long time, and it is really eroded.

But I'm glad people like Scott are doing stuff like that.

That's really cool.

I think it's just a coincidence that Democrats have been in control in Baltimore since 1967.

That's a coincidence?

Just a coincidence.

Yeah.

It's a coincidence coincidence that that's the case in Baltimore.

And then, you know, Poop City, USA, San Francisco

has had a similar reign of Democrats for the last 50 to 60 years.

Detroit, Michigan, same thing.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, same thing.

Anywhere there's high crime and a lot of garbage to clean up.

High poverty.

High poverty.

You're going to find Democrats in this.

We did this stat.

I mean, we measured this statistically, and I think it was an inconvenient book.

I think it was one of Glenn's books.

And we went through and looked at the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rates and how often they had been run by Republicans in the last 45 years or something.

I can't remember the exact timeframe, but I believe it was 9% of the time for all of these cities combined.

And it was like, you know, one or two people in one or two cities.

And the other cities, I mean, eight out of the 10 were 100% run by Democrats the entire time.

And this is like,

how do you,

how do you not at some point at least try the other side?

Try freaking the Green Party.

Try the Libertarians.

Try Republicans.

Try anything else except Democrats.

This is not working for you.

And I think

anybody who lives in these cities who continues to vote the same people in and then complain about the results.

I mean, who's at fault here?

Is it even the Democrats anymore?

Or is it the voters?

Because you can change this.

We have elements of our democracy in this republic.

You can change things.

And hopefully, that's going to happen at some point.

It's amazing that doesn't occur to the people in these cities.

It's amazing.

I guess they just sold on, like, well, it's right.

I don't vote a racist in.

I'm not going to vote some corporate fat cat in, like, all these little catchphrases that wind up in manifestos.

But they work.

Yeah.

Catchphrases work.

They do.

They win people over, I guess.

The richest 1%.

The millionaires, billionaires.

They don't care about the little people.

What about the trillionaires?

No one talks about them.

I know.

They're just going to

skate off scot-free.

They just skate.

Scott.

It's true, though.

People like Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders went on the Joe Rogan podcast, which was a brilliant maneuver because Rogan has a lot of people who are on the right and on the left.

It's a huge audience.

And, you know, Joe Rogan, admittedly, but he would admit that he's not like a particularly political animal.

He's not like in those sorts of conversations.

So Bernie got away with a lot in this particular interview.

I listened to some of it yesterday.

But at one point, Bernie gets to say, he said something like,

he will agree that 99.99% of gun owners will never do anything like what happened here in a million or a billion years,

but we still need to ban assault weapons.

And it's like, I don't even know how to deal with somebody who thinks that way.

I know.

You're going to take the rights.

How can you let cars on the road with that attitude?

We know that 99.9% of people who drive cars will be fine, but some will get drunk.

Some will intentionally run people over.

Some will be erratic with them.

How can you possibly allow them on the streets?

I mean, I can't even, how do you even talk to someone who thinks that way?

Totally bizarre.

Bizarre.

Triple 8-727 back.

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Triple 88727 back.

So

I think we pretty much had.

consensus on this, right?

So far, anyway, with the Trump supporters who we've talked to, there is not one

who supports gun control legislation that we've talked to.

Now, we did, there was one person who said something to the effect of

they were happy about mental health being addressed potentially.

And I'm happy about that, too.

I think it should be.

It's a serious part of it.

Yeah.

But

there's not a lot of support for this among Republicans, I think.

No.

You know, there is maybe the,

you know, I think if you poll an issue like, you know, background checks, you can point to polls where it looks pretty good among

But the people who hold the line on the Second Amendment hold the line strongly.

But when you ask the question legitimately and you say, okay, we already have background checks.

Do you want them to extend to person-to-person a private sale?

If you just, if you, if you're honest about it, because

the way they phrase these things, it sounds like there are no background checks at all.

Like, we don't do it.

And it's, you know, look, there's a lot of guns in this country, but a lot of people don't own them.

I mean, you know, I've told this story before, but I grew up in Connecticut, where it's just, there's not, there's not a gun culture there, really, at least where I lived.

I didn't, I don't probably think we ever held a gun.

My dad was in the military, but I don't think we ever had a gun in the house, at least that I know of.

Yeah.

And, you know, we were not gun people.

I didn't really know a lot of gun people.

The entire northeast, not the entire northeast, because there's states like New Hampshire and Vermont and such that have very active gun cultures, but like there's a big chunk of that area where like it seems somewhat foreign.

Like it seems like something that you even guns.

like

criminals have them, and like hunters have them, right?

Like, that's the way a lot of people

in New England

understand.

Yeah, we just don't think it.

It's not protected.

They don't know what the Second Amendment was about.

They think it's about hunting, which is not.

Which it is not.

It is about protecting yourself from an oppressive government.

If that ever comes to be, then the founding fathers wanted to make sure that you had weapons to defend yourself.

So really, it turns out it's to defend yourself against, let's say, a home invasion, or it's to defend yourself against an oppressive, tyrannical government.

Or

the third option, what if another country invades?

Then the citizens are armed, and it's going to be pretty tough to suppress that.

Good luck with citizens, right?

400 million guns.

Right.

And they always try to be like, whoa, what are you going to do?

Take on the military with your tanks and everything else?

Yeah, well, first of all, yeah.

But that is specifically designed to give you a mental picture of like a tank rolling up your driveway and you've got a handgun and you can't do anything about it.

And so that's why they use that analogy.

But think about us just trying to go through Iraq and Afghanistan with a country that's not nearly as well-armed as

we are.

Just trying to go door-to-door there with the world's best military.

And we have all sorts of massive problems doing it.

Imagine trying to do that in the United States with 400 million guns dispersed among 320, 330 million people.

Difficult.

Good luck with that.

Yeah.

Good luck trying to invade.

It's not going to happen.

And that's one of the reasons why we've had a long-term constitution, basically the only one in the world, and we don't get invaded like that is because of the Second Amendment.

It served us pretty well.

We should keep it.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

With patents too.

For Glenn.

This week.

He'll return next week.

Triple E,

727 back.

There was an amazing conference that was held, a national conference, of a

major political party, the Democrat Socialists of America.

And they held this conference in Georgia.

And

it was pretty fascinating.

It was eye-opening.

What a window into our future.

Yeah.

Because you see, you know,

this is something I'm going to get into on TV tonight.

I'm filling in for Glenn on

Blaze TV.

Go to blazetv.com.

Use the promo code Glenn, save you some money.

Love to have you sign up.

You know, doing these things, and they're not exactly popular in the mainstream media, so we do need your support to continue to dive into this stuff.

But one of the things we're going into tonight is this idea of a victimization culture.

It's this,

you know, and it's very well, the Mount Rushmore of this particular movement is the squad.

Right.

Every single thing that happens, they find a way to turn it into, I've been victimized.

So, the most recent example with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is some high school students were being idiots and being silly high school students, just like everyone was in high school.

And they were doing some offensive things to a cardboard cutout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Now, any adult,

like a high school kid doing something ridiculous, you laugh it off, you say, oh, you know, come on,

what's the big deal?

Of course, in this case, because it's Cortez, you have

the Daily Beast writing an article, including the picture of these high school students,

making them into national news figures because they were silly

in a moment,

and then misquoting Mitch McConnell's campaign about it, and then

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez misquoting Mitch McConnell's campaign and just

turning yourself into the, I can't believe this.

Just so you know, you weren't actually assaulted.

It was a cardboard cutout of you.

I don't even know how, like, Oh, man.

What kind of culture do we have where a congressperson feels the need to act all upset and assaulted over some high school students touching inappropriately a cardboard cutout of them?

That is not a society that has a long future.

And so

you see this with the Democratic Socialists, which is...

The group that, by the way, Alexandria Casio-Cortez is a card-carrying member of.

This was, I believe, the Young Socialist, or I don't know the exact name of

the organization, YAAS.

And they had some real problems being triggered just trying to get through basic business, Pat.

This is so amazing.

It really is.

It just shows that, you know,

the generation of parents that has raised these kids has really done them some disservice.

And they look to be, what, 20?

Yeah, in their 20s, early 20s, maybe in all socialists, and they can't handle anything.

They can't handle anything.

They can't handle whispering.

They can't handle noise.

Well, you'll see.

It's amazing.

Here's a couple of outtakes.

This is the first one here.

They're all just being triggered, and I think

you'll understand the pattern pretty quickly.

Quick point of privilege.

Quick point of personal privilege.

Guys, first of all, James Jackson, Sacramento, he, him.

I just want to say

that I'm going to chatter to a minimum.

I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload.

There's a lot of whispering and chatter going on.

It's making it very difficult for me to focus.

Please, can we just, I know we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum?

It's affecting my ability to focus.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Thank you for against name chapter pronouns.

Privilege.

Point of personal privilege.

Yes, yes, go ahead.

Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.

Right.

Guy's about to cry.

Don't use

gendered language to address anyone.

By the way, I got that backwards.

YAAS is the one that posted its Young Americans Against Socialism.

So that's not the actual organization.

The organization

is the Democratic Socialist, right?

So this is the one.

This is our national convention.

This is the AOC organization that she belongs to.

I should have known the second guy complaining about gender language did not sound like a young socialist.

And I will say,

I should not have called him a guy.

Thank you.

I used gendered language.

And I apologize for that.

He just asked you not to.

He did.

Specifically requested that one thing not be done, and I just did it.

So I apologize.

I'm disgusting.

I don't even know if we're going to finish the show with you today.

He just asked you not to, and what's the first thing you did?

Well, I'll say this.

I can't focus with you talking all the time.

I am trying to focus on this show, and I keep hearing you talking and saying words.

Point of personal privilege, please.

Yes, go ahead.

That doesn't matter.

It's my feelings that are important here.

Nobody cares about yours.

Point of personal privilege.

Yes.

Stubergear, he, him.

Just want to say

I am

very triggered

by

Marissa, our producer, telling us that we have to go for a 60-second commercial break rate.

Well, who are you?

She's just

doing right here.

Like this little wrap-it-up signal.

And how can I focus?

I am very stressed right now.

I am very, very stressed.

Very stressed.

I need 60 seconds to think about it.

All right.

Oh, jeez.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Point of personal privilege.

Yes.

I am

he, him, by the way.

He, him, she, hers.

Me, mine.

Sours.

Those are my pronouns.

Depending on how I feel.

They, them.

I almost forgot they, them.

Do I have to use all of them?

Well, it depends on how I'm feeling on any given day.

Okay.

Um, but uh, right now, I'm, I'm feeling they, them.

Uh, Pat Gray, by the way, uh, I do it, I do a show, uh, Pat Gray Unleashed, immediately preceding this particular show.

Um, and then you can listen to it anytime you want on the podcast.

Uh, at Pat Unleashed.

At Pat Unleashed.

At World of Stew, if you'd like to follow us on Twitter.

And when I say us, that's one of my chosen pronouns.

Oh, good.

Okay, so.

You can call me us.

Which I love.

I love the...

We've even changed what the words actually mean.

Yeah.

Well, them is a real one.

Because if you don't know, I think you're supposed to say them.

Yeah, they or them.

They or them.

But they don't make sense in the context of how you'd use he or she.

Or her.

Hey, they?

Yeah.

I guess.

You know, in Texas, maybe our personal pronoun should be y'all.

Because that just encompasses everything.

Right.

Well, y'all is the singular, and then all y'all

is the pearl.

All y'all.

So, all y'all at the socialist conference were talking about things that were very disturbing to them, and we have more examples of them to be able to do that.

And I love this because this is giving us a glimpse into our future.

It is.

As we continue to head down this socialist path, this is what we can expect.

Quick point of privilege, once again.

James Jackson, Sacramento DSA, he, him.

I have already asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload.

And that goes double for the heckling and the hissing.

It is also triggering to my anxiety.

Oh, no.

Like, be comradely isn't just for, like, you know, let's keep things civil or whatever.

It's so that people aren't going to get triggered and so that it doesn't affect their performance as a delegate, okay?

Okay.

Being comradely, Pat, is something not just about civility, but it should not cause anxiety so that he's triggered.

Yeah.

And that would hurt his performance as a delegate.

This kid should stay home.

Yeah.

You know, away from any sort of stimuli.

I worry about him because

if he can't handle a socialist convention, stay home.

The good thing I will say, however, about this is if socialists do invade, apparently we can turn them back by just whispering and clapping.

And that's a positive for our nation.

Maybe we don't need the Second Amendment anymore.

Maybe we could just whisper people away

because the anxiety.

Call them by the wrong pronoun.

Oh, can you imagine how that would harm them?

Can you, because they'd be worthless after that.

Now, I can't.

I don't want to be the one who would think that this Dolt has an actual job.

But can you imagine if this guy operating in a normal work environment?

I don't know how they get through life.

I seriously don't.

How, I mean, I don't know if I would be able to resist calling him she

or clapping loudly every time I walked by his desk or just dropping books by him,

whispering constantly.

I would take, I would buy a series of digital recorders and I would just have little conversations like this all over the place.

So you just hear like mumbling, and then I would actually go in after hours in his cubicle, and I would open up the seams of the fabric and insert them inside and just constantly turn them on throughout the day.

In total disregard for his anxiety, it would be.

I would go back and re-watch the office for the 50th time just to take some of the pranks from Jim on Dwight and do them to this person.

Oh, no.

Because I just would not be able to take it.

Now that would be very triggering and I apologize to he him for that.

Sure would.

Do we have some more clips?

You had some clips from Pacquiao Unleashed that you found as well.

We got to play them because they're all just absolutely fantastic.

It just, here's more.

I see that no one's clapping for me.

It could be because I'm not engaging, but it also is because everyone's doing this.

And that's really important because those loud bursts of noise, even though this is a noisy space, when we can do something like reducing that, that's really important.

So please don't clap, shoot up these.

We have a lot of disabled comrades and a lot of those are invisible disabilities.

You don't know who it is that is having a more difficult time navigating this space and this space was not created with all of their needs in mind.

So it's up to us to modify that space to make sure that everybody is able to move in the ways that they need to move.

Okay.

Wow, that's a lot.

There's a lot there.

There's a lot there.

First of all,

are you still able to say disabled?

Is that at all?

I was surprised by that, as a matter of fact.

Shocked.

Differently abled, please.

Thank you.

That was very triggering.

And I can't believe he wasn't called on that.

Thank you, he him.

Point of personal privilege?

Yes, go ahead.

We got to take one minute here and then we'll come back with more of these socialists to understand how to communicate with one another.

Thinking about life insurance?

What if you could make one free phone call and learn your best price from nearly a dozen highly rated price-competitive companies?

Well, that's exactly what happens when you call SelectQuote life.

For example, George is 40.

He was getting sky-high quotes from other companies because he takes meds to control his blood pressure.

But when I shopped around, I found him a 10-year, $500,000 policy for under $25 a month.

I'm SelectQuote agent Dan Savino.

Point of personal privilege, Pat Gray and Stuporgear for Glenn.

He, him.

Outsourced.

And we go back to the Socialist Conference because

these are the people that

are going to be controlling the government in our country very shortly.

As we continue down this path with more and more socialist policies and then people saying, well, that's not socialism.

That's just

more government programs that we've always had.

And this is just making them better.

Okay.

If we start listening to that, if we agree to that and

we turn our country over to these people, this is just a little glimpse of what this this is going to be like.

Have you ever seen anything like this where they're triggered by clapping, where they're triggered by whispering, where you have to tell people the pronouns to use to address you?

Seriously,

it's hard to, and there's some part of you that says, How can you take these people seriously as a threat

to our nation because they are so pathetic?

Right?

Like,

it's just, you know, it's like,

you know, the, the, it's like the 1998 Chicago Bulls and they're just playing against a team that you know we that are they have all four-foot people that weigh 42 pounds and they're nine years old and you're like well I don't know if you get too excited I mean they're probably not gonna beat you but I mean that that's the thing with growing government power if the power is there to to and the power is there in the hands of a central government Eventually, some crazy person can get control of that central government and then they use it in the way that they want to use it.

And this is the Overton window

that just keeps moving and moving and moving.

We're not doing the crazy stuff that the socialist convention is doing, but you're telling, how different is this from what we're doing with transgendered issues right now?

It's really,

they were doing the thing where they kick people off Twitter for saying the wrong pronoun about transgendered issues like 10 years ago.

And now we're on the side of receiving it.

If you say, you know what, I think this, look, you didn't have a surgery or anything.

You're still a dude.

You are thrown off, you know, off the reservation.

Oh, yeah.

And I believe off the reservation would also be an offensive.

It sure would.

I'm almost positive.

You've triggered an awful lot of people.

I'm sorry about that.

All right.

Let's go ahead and hear more of what this guy has to say from the podium.

We don't want to put people in stressful situations that they don't consent to, right?

And there are right-wing infiltrators who are trying to get in here, but it's going to be really traumatic for people if we're not making an affirmative effort to de-escalate each other and de-escalate ourselves, right?

Take a deep breath.

How dare you?

What if I have COPD and I can't breathe deep?

Oh, wow.

That just triggered me like crazy.

Wow.

What about asthmatics?

As a human being.

You've asked them to breathe deep.

What if that hurts?

Could hurt

very badly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is all, it's like the, you know, you get an ad for a new medication and like two-thirds of the ad are the disclaimers about the weird things it could theoretically do to you.

All of this stuff is just all disclaimers.

The entire convention is just them talking about things you can't say and we should make sure we acknowledge and there's no way to get any business done.

You just sit there blabbing back and forth about your pronouns.

Do you ever pass a policy?

And what triggers everybody and that you have a little safe space where you can go to and it'll be quiet.

Oh, we got to hear more about the safe space too.

I think that's coming here.

And additionally with the noise issue, like avoid hissing, avoid waving banners, right?

Avoid hissing.

Because those, there's all sorts of things.

If you don't know what to do, show up these, right?

I'm sure there's lots of ways that we can communicate to each other without needing to rely on something that's going to hurt somebody else.

We have quiet rooms that are available.

There's a range of options of these, right?

Please don't go in that space with anything that's like an aggressive scent, for instance, right?

Aggressive.

Don't go into these safe rooms with an aggressive scent.

Yeah.

An aggressive scent.

So

all their sensory capability is being overwhelmed because they're in a room with other people.

So

you can't make any noise.

You can't smell like anything.

Apparently you can't be looking like anything that may offend them.

What can you do with this thing?

It's like, you know how they create these scenarios for kids who have severe nut allergies.

I know one of your kids has a severe nut allergy.

And so they'll go through and they'll make real, and obviously it's a life or death situation here, right?

Like, you know, certain people, if they are exposed to peanuts or peanut butter, can have massive reactions or eat tree nuts or whatever it is.

But like, we're doing that with just like words.

Yes.

We're like acting as if it's as dangerous as a severe allergy with clapping.

The same.

Whispering.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

Just doesn't apply anymore.

No.

That is just so.

It's all gone.

Over.

All these phrases, you know, the other one was keeping up with the Joneses.

That's dead.

Yeah.

Keeping up with the Joneses used to be a negative thing you'd say to someone, oh, they're always trying to chase all that and everything.

Now, income inequality, it's the opposite.

Keeping up with the Joneses is now dead.

The Joneses have to come back to you.

And everyone needs to be equal.

Everyone's the Jones, and we're all poor.

That's income inequality.

Keeping up with the Joneses

is now gone.

You know, it's okay to say, well, they have more than me, so they're bad.

That's like now, like the top of the line sort of analysis.

Yeah.

And you really like the there's this is

the boy in the bubble thing, right?

Like if you can't be exposed to any germs, you can't be exposed to any words or thoughts you don't like or noises that are too loud.

It's insane.

Sure is.

Sure is.

I think we have one more from this guy.

Let's hear that.

Oh, okay.

That was the last one we had from that.

Do we have the actual sound of what they're debating whether they should take over there they were trying to debate at one point whether they should take over the democrat party or strengthen themselves as a third party which was pretty interesting because i think they've already pretty much taken over the uh the the democrat party all right let's go to the phone uh

and hello

hi um well basically i i'm listening to your show um

and

I don't

the way you're speaking is very loud.

Oh, it is?

Have I offended you or you attacked your sister?

Did you just say you?

Yes, I'm sorry.

What is your preferred pronoun?

He, it.

He, it.

Okay.

Yes.

Yeah.

And as I was listening to you speak very loudly

with anger,

and each word cut to the core of me and my pronoun, which is now us, him.

I'm sorry, us?

Well, I you waited too long.

Now it's ours, his.

Okay.

I want to make sure that you and all the people who...

And I know I'll be criticized for saying these things.

People will call in and say, I heard

that last person.

And I will say, no, it's himself, yourself.

Okay.

And then anything, both, everyone.

such that this those

and I will be referred to as whichever whomever And if you wouldn't mind, the thine.

Okay.

The thine is now my name.

Thee thine.

The thine.

Thank you, thee thine.

I've got biblical on you.

Oh, wow.

Thee thine.

Is that okay?

It is not okay.

It is not okay.

It is not.

So now we're back to.

Can you stop yelling at me?

I'm sorry.

Please stop yelling.

It's Pat and Stew.

A point of personal privilege for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Joined now by Jeffy, whose

podcast is chewing the fat.

That is the pronouns.

These pronouns are it, that.

If that point of personal privilege.

Okay, Jeff Fisher, yeah.

If that.

If that.

He, she, him, that.

I was going with it, that, because I thought people might refer to you as it.

I don't care.

I'm not going to trigger it.

You don't care.

You're not triggered by that?

Are you sure?

I'm okay with it.

I'll tell you what I'm triggered by.

There are two plates in front of you right now, and they they are the most exciting plates I've ever seen in my life.

They're the new Krispy Kreme donuts.

Oh, my gosh.

They became available this week.

Krispy Kreme has new donuts?

They became available this week.

Yeah, the Reese's peanut butter cream dipped in fudge icing and topped with Reese's peanut butter drizzle.

What?

And the chocolate cream.

Is that legal?

Can you do that?

Chocolate peanut butter cream dipped in Reese's peanut butter icing and topped with chocolate icing drizzle.

No way.

So I don't know that it's legal, but until they arrest us, we wanted to get it taken care of because it just started this week for a limited time.

I love capitalism.

I mean,

here is a company that made this great idea.

It came up with this great idea.

Hey, you know what?

Reese's peanut butter cups, Reese's pieces.

We've got some good ideas.

Then the people over at Krispy Kreme with their fantastic ideas.

Now they've come together in this incredible circle right in front of you right now.

Was it Chocolate Lovers and Peanut Butter Lovers?

Are those the two varieties?

This is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cream dipped in fudge icing and topped with Reese's peanut butter drizzle.

Okay, that's the peanut butter lovers.

This is peanut butter lovers, and then I guess we have to try the chocolate lovers.

I would say, yeah, I guess we have to for the show.

We have to.

For the show.

I don't want to.

But I have to.

This is the chocolate peanut butter cream dipped in Reese's peanut butter icing and topped with chocolate icing drizzle.

Now, this is

thinking about this is this is the peanut butter icing drizzle.

Which do we want to try first?

I think.

Oh, yeah, this is the chocolate one.

Yeah, so the chocolate lovers are trying chocolate lovers first, so they have two different varieties, okay.

And these are, I mean, I've had you know you pick up a Krispy Kreme donut, it's light and fluffy, this is heavy, yeah, it is.

This is filled with,

I believe, so they're stuck inside Jeffy's, yes,

oh man.

All right, so we're gonna give it a shot here and a little taste test here, asking helping you figure out whether capitalism is good or bad.

You know, is it a positive influence on our society or a negative one?

You know what this would be in Russia?

It would be like kale mixed with broccoli, Oh.

Yeah.

Sprinkled with some dirt on top.

That's what it would be.

If you're lucky.

If you're lucky.

Oh, my gosh.

You know what's amazing about these?

Because they say, you know, a Reese's peanut butter cup is...

That's just crazy.

They say a Reese's peanut butter cup has peanut butter in it, right?

But that's not true.

It's a Reese's peanut butter.

It is like, there's a certain thing they do to the peanut butter, which is, I don't know, add triple the sugar that makes it so much better than actual peanut butter.

And

that taste is inside of this donut.

Oh my God.

This is a chocolate donut.

Inside, the entire way around the circle

is a stream of Reese's peanut butter.

Oh, my goodness.

Unfortunately, they found a way to do this with six calories in each donut.

Really?

Six.

Yeah, you could have, say, 30 of them.

You'd only have 180 calories.

That's a little much for me.

I don't know that I can do.

I'm not going to eat the entire donut for six calories.

That was a little bit of Jeffy math there.

I believe six times three would be 18, not 180.

That's correct.

No, I said 30 times.

You know what 30 does.

I think I said three.

Okay.

So that is the chocolate lovers, which is a fantastic donut.

Pretty good.

Now, I love my peanut butter.

Chocolate's great, but I'm a big peanut butter guy when it comes to desserts.

What are you going to get the chocolate one?

Should we do them one at a time here?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

We have not introduced.

We did a segment called Spoons, of course, on the Pat and Stew show back in the day that we all participated in trying the new capitalist solutions.

This is capitalism at work right here.

And we do a scale from 1 to 18 because 18 was the highest number Jeffy knew at the time.

Do you know any higher numbers now, Jeffy?

It's been a couple years.

Do you learn any new numbers?

There are different numbers.

Yeah, they go above 18.

He didn't know.

So on this, I would give this a 16.

Love it.

Love the peanut butter.

Me too.

It's fantastic.

Yeah, it's delicious.

The one thing I would say a little bit of a fault here is like there are certain bites in it where you're not getting any peanut butter.

Not as much.

So that's the only thing that would bring it down to a 16 or something.

That'll bring it down to a 17 for me because this is just absolutely delicious.

Jeffy, 1 to 18, what's your number?

I don't know.

These are pretty good.

You know, these would be better if you could dip it in milk.

Milk!

Here we go again.

Oh my gosh.

This is what he did on Duhatten Stew.

It'd be better.

It's good, but it'd be better with milk.

Oh, man.

I do not miss that show anymore.

I can't take it.

Yeah, the audience always says they miss it, but man, I don't.

No, not having to do a show with this guy.

They're every day.

Every day.

Peanut butter lovers, shall we partake?

Mm-hmm.

Again, this is about capitalism, not about us eating donuts on radio.

We don't want to.

We don't want to do this.

Capitalism is under assault by people like Alexandria Casio-Cortez that wants to take your donuts away.

So here we are helping you solve this incredibly positive issue.

So, peanut butter lovers

down the hatch.

This is good.

Oh, man.

This is better than the other.

So that also has kind of a stream of looks like peanut butter through it?

Yep, same thing.

Mm-hmm.

So if I were to

give the audience who happens to be listening on the air right now a little outline, you've got a chocolate donut.

You've got the Reese's peanut butter river running through the entire donut.

And on top, there is on the chocolate lovers, chocolate icing.

On the peanut butter lovers, a little peanut butter icing.

I would say they're basically the same donut.

There's not much of a difference between these two.

Luckily, they're both really good.

So who cares?

But don't feel the need.

You're not missing necessarily a lot if you only get one of the two.

You could really get one or the other, and it's about the same deal.

But when there's two, why would you?

Right, why not try both?

I would go with, I mean, I'm going to say 17 again.

Yeah, I'll say 16 again.

Although, if I was going to choose one in the store, I'd probably get the peanut butter lovers just because

I lean more peanut butter than chocolate, but still, they're both freaking really good.

Krispy Kreme, what a fan.

You can't go wrong with Krispy Kreme, can you?

It's an American institution.

It's an American institution.

You got the Declaration of Independence, you got the Constitution of the united states and you got krispy cream right there i'm going to look those three i'm going to take a little quick as you're as you're no okay so there is the the one difference is in the peanut butter iced one the cream is chocolate in the chocolate iced one the cream is peanut butter

okay so i'll go with the better one being the one with a peanut butter in the middle which was has a chocolate icing i know that's very confusing but not enough icing though i will say in some in some bites that's the only downside i would say could be a little bit more they need to work on the science a little bit But pretty amazed.

Jeffy, good addition to the show today.

Finally.

Finally.

It's happened.

Oh, he shouldn't be clapping.

That could trigger someone.

You triggered me.

Point of personal privilege?

Yeah, go ahead.

I don't like to be clapped at.

Okay.

I apologize.

Raise your hand.

We've got a safe room

back over in the corner there.

You can go in there and nobody's coming in with an aggressive scent.

Aggressive scent.

I will say this, though.

And this may be triggering, but I don't think he can fit in the safe room.

Point of personal privilege?

No, I'm sorry.

We can't give it to you.

No.

I'd like to congratulate the new inductees to the Radio Hall of Fame, though.

Oh,

agonizing.

What do you talk about, agonizing?

Congratulations to Sean Hollywood Hamilton,

Harry Harrison,

Kevin and Bean.

Kevin and Bean deserve it.

Joe Madison, the black guy.

Does not.

Come on, stop it.

Jim Rome?

Ragged?

Oh, yeah.

Ryan Seacrest?

Okay.

Deserves.

John Tesh?

No.

No, Tesh has had actually a really big career.

Well, not in radio, has he?

I mean, he's had 10 years of syndication.

Yeah, he's had a long time in syndication.

He's 12 years of syndication in the show.

He's an NBA theme.

In fact,

congratulations are extra in order for John Tesch because he was in the same category as Glenn Beck.

Oh, really?

How did Glenn do?

He did.

He was in the same category of John Tesh.

I can't believe it.

He's in the same category.

Yeah, it was his first ballot.

Yeah, first ballot hall.

And I got to tell you,

There's one more that was inducted, and I don't want to pass her by.

Don't slight Dr.

Ruth.

Dr.

Ruth Weston timer.

I don't want to slight Dr.

Ruth.

Dr.

Ruth is a legend.

So Harry Harrison beat out my man Jack Harris from the mothership.

Now, Jack Harris.

If anyone deserved it.

Jack Harris better get in.

Glenn?

Jack Harris better get in that Radio Hall of Fame.

Right?

Yeah.

Well, that's embarrassing.

I mean, look, you know,

I do kind of take it as like,

in baseball, you get it on

the ballot.

You don't always get in the first time.

They nominate you multiple times and then you get in.

So, I don't know.

Is Glenn a first ballot Hall of Famer?

I feel like he's one of those guys that, yeah, he had a decent career.

I mean, without us, guy's not even nominated.

Right.

That's a good guy.

They don't even know who he is.

He's not even considered nominated.

Where's our nomination?

Where's the Jeffy nomination for the Radio Hall of Fame?

Well, as you look at some of the inductees, it's a legit question, frankly.

Wait, I don't know that it's a legitimate question.

Wow.

Okay, well, he didn't make it this year.

Maybe he'll be nominated again next.

I don't know that I've ever seen a national deserving host be nominated and not get in.

And not get in.

I don't know that I've seen it before.

I don't follow it all that closely, but I know.

Glenn will get in eventually.

I would assume Jack will as well.

Yeah.

The Tampa legend.

He has to.

Right.

100%.

Travel the country.

You might not know who Glenn Beck is, but you know who Jack Harris is.

Of course.

I mean, that's

clearly.

I agree.

Clearly.

At least you want it to be that way.

Whether it is or not, I don't know.

But you'd much rather know Jack than Glenn.

No question.

I'd like to give some people a little helpful hint.

I know that plenty of companies and businesses around the world now are taking, you know, when you get hired, they want you to take a urine test.

to see if you're taking any drugs or anything.

And DJ Cooper, a former Ohio University basketball star, has been playing in Europe, and he wanted to go and play in Bosnia.

And he's been playing and he wanted to play basketball in Bosnia, and they said, no problem.

You know, just take a urine test.

And

he gave them his urine test, and it came back that he was pregnant.

Oh, no.

So he's either the first male, real first male ever to be pregnant, or he used someone else's urine and the urine tested.

Point of personal privilege.

Point of personal privilege.

What do you mean the first real male?

What are you insinuating there?

You've just triggered me.

That is inappropriate.

I apologize.

Thank you.

I apologize.

So he's either another male to be pregnant in the world

or he used his girlfriend's urine.

So we don't know

what he was trying to hide, if he was trying to hide anything at all.

Obviously, something.

Maybe he just couldn't go with the time.

Yeah, it's possible.

Did you see this with Stephen Jackson, the former Rams running back, star running back?

He retired and did the thing that you do when you retire.

You sign a one-day contract with your old team so you can retire.

He was going to retire as a Rams.

Just be retired as the team.

And he got targeted for a random drug test.

Now he's

on a one-day contract.

This is so silly.

And what did they find on him?

I don't know.

I don't think they're going to be able to do that.

He told them to take a hike.

Did he really?

Yeah.

I don't think he needs to actually go in there.

He's not actually going to play.

It's just a symbolic thing so you can retire as a member of your team.

Which, do they pay him for those one-day contracts?

I don't know.

I guess they'd have to pay him minimum wage for the one day, right?

Maybe.

I guess a few hundred bucks, maybe?

Yeah, probably.

Well, I mean, those guys are making more than a few hundred bucks.

Well, but the minimum wage

for a season, right, is what,

$400,000.

$400,000.

So maybe a couple thousand.

It's not bad.

Yeah.

I think it's like $480,000.

$480,000 and it's, and I think it's, you would know this, Jeffy, because your son played in the NFL.

But is it one of those things where

you get two, it's only during the season they pay you, or do they pay you all year round?

They paid him during the season, but Ellis had a little bit different contractual arrangement with them.

Yeah.

So he ended up getting some money afterwards as well.

I'm not asking for the whole history.

I'm just curious.

Generally, how do you get the season?

During the season, yeah.

During the season.

During the work.

So you get all of it.

$8,000 in those

game.

Every game you get a check.

Nice.

And, you know, I mean, the NBA guys are making, DJ wants to make that European money, but I just saw where the NBA just signed their new deal with China and the Tencent Holdings.

$1.5 billion, another four or five-year deal with Tennessee Holding in China.

I mean, they have 490 million fans in China watching the NBA.

490 million?

That's 160 million more people than live in the United States.

An estimated 21 million fans watched game six of the NBA finals on all the Tennessee platforms.

So that's a pretty good deal.

That is amazing.

Triple 8, 727, BEC Show.

Jeez.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Pat and Stu.

For Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, point of personal privilege.

Go ahead.

I'm a little offended by your aggressive scent.

Jeffy?

Oh, you're looking at me.

You're smelling me?

I'm smelling you.

Yeah.

Is that aggressive?

Sorry?

Okay.

I apologize.

If you could remove yourself from the area so I wouldn't be offended by your personal scent, that'd be really very much appreciated.

I'll try to remember that.

Not going to go anywhere right now, though.

Seriously, watching this, listening to these idiots,

is there any way they defeat the rest of us?

How do they get through their day?

How do they get through their day?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Where you're not being babied and coddled the whole time like you are at the convention because

they're all these social justice warriors and what warriors they clearly are.

I mean, it's all, oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I didn't mean to interrupt your space.

How do you exist in the workspace?

I don't know the answer to that.

It's got to be very difficult.

Hold down a job.

Ah, that's...

Because it's all about your feelings, how you, I mean, we're not, are we, I guess we're here to make sure that everyone feels okay

every day.

Right.

And of course, that's not possible.

Not at all.

It's not part of life.

It's not supposed to be like that.

You're supposed to actually have some struggles and have some things to push back about and have some difficult things that you accomplish in your life.

Obviously, these people were not told, hey, look, sometimes you're going to be offended by things.

Push through it.

Okay?

Get over it.

Don't get over it.

That was my mom's main theme.

Get over it.

Doesn't that serve you well?

Yes.

Even today, it does.

You're having one of those tough days.

You're struggling through something.

And if you just can kind of put yourself, all right, tomorrow this is not even going to be a thing.

So I might as well just right now, forget about it, get over it, move on, power through the day.

Tomorrow is going to be totally different.

Who cares?

I mean, it's not always a happy way to get through life, but it does get you through those tough moments, man.

Oh, but wait,

There's an aggressive scent!

I can't take this!

I'm gonna have to go to a quiet space and a non-smelling space,

somewhere away from Jeffy, that's for sure.

Wait.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
