Best of the Program with Pat & Stu and Jeffy | 10/19/18

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Stopping the caravan.

The caravan from, I think it originated in Honduras and then went to Guatemala and then Mexico.

It's coming through Mexico, right?

4,000 strong.

So we'll talk about that and how hateful it is that you want to stop that 4,000 strong caravan.

Right.

Thank you.

President Trump threatened to even send the military to put a stop to this.

Open up a new restaurant for them right there.

Thank you.

Yes.

So we'll get into that.

Also, we talked about Mexico and their tougher immigration laws than we have.

But I guess that's okay.

But if we wanted to stiffen ours, it's hate no and ugly.

Betto Arork, we get into the Beto Arorick situation and whether or not a lot of white guys in El Paso really do have the name Betto.

You might be surprised.

It's so common.

Also, we'll talk about...

Crunching the election poll numbers with Stu.

Who's looking good and who isn't?

And what are the odds that the Republicans hold on to the House and Senate?

They're not looking that great right now.

Who's okay for the Senate?

Not the House.

20% chance in the House, but we'll get into that as well.

That and a lot more coming up on the podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenn Beck program.

It's Friday, October 19th.

Glenn back.

It's Pat Graham, Stubber Gear for Glenn, on the Glenn Beck program.

He's still, you know, canoeing back from his Mediterranean crossing.

He was canoeing across the Mediterranean, something he's wanted to do forever.

And then

when he's done crossing the Mediterranean, he's just going to canoe back here.

Which is

a long trip, but he should be back by Monday.

Well, yeah, I mean, he's a heck of a rower.

He really is.

It's impressive.

So

hopefully by Monday, he'll be back.

So we've got this massive humanity heading for the U.S.

border.

Originated, I guess, in Honduras and then picked up a bunch of people in Guatemala.

And there's some more people waiting for him in Mexico.

And who knows how big this caravan is going to be by the time he gets here?

But the president is

asking,

in some stern words, for the governments along the way to maybe do something about this and maybe stop the caravan.

And of course, that's hateful.

It's a questionable tactic, I would say.

To send the military to...

No,

not our response, but the actual caravan itself.

It is.

I don't understand what the point of these things are.

It seems like every year or so, we have another one of these stories.

Yeah.

And it's certainly not something that's going to influence the type of progress you would theoretically theoretically want if you are a migrant from Central America wanting to come to the United States.

Yeah, you're talking from their mindset, right?

From their point of view, it does seem strange that they're doing it this way.

It does not seem like it works, right?

I mean, it just all it does is, you know, it makes people angry who don't want people just thinking they can break into the country illegally.

Yeah.

And especially when you're doing it thousands at a time, that makes it even worse, it would seem to me.

Yeah, I mean, because it's this is why you hear about the dreamers all the time, Pat.

The dreamers, the people who dream, people who've just created a dream and they've dreamed it here in the United States, and all they want to do is continue their dream dreaming here in dreamland.

That's all they want is a dream.

Dreamy dreamers.

Dreamy dreamers.

And you hear about dreamy dreamers because they have stories that are

largely compelling in a one-on-one basis, right?

You know, they pick, they know, of course, they don't pick the they came here at 17 and 11 months

and have been breaking the law for 15 years.

They pick the kid, and there are some examples of this where there's a kid who's, you know, four years old.

It comes across with their parent,

as the phrase is, no fault of their own, which is true when you're four years old.

And there's a compelling case there.

And I think a lot of people are open to that case, even if you...

I think if you're four.

You're mature enough to say, hey, mom, dad, I'm not doing this.

This is wrong.

You know what?

You're not dragging me illegally across that border.

I'm not doing it.

Have you guys looked at U.S.

law?

Come on.

Because we're breaking it.

Okay.

Right now.

Now we're going to.

Usually that doesn't happen when you're four.

So, I mean, there's a compelling case there.

When you talk about 4,000 people coming across the border, that's just a mass.

You can't look at those people individually, or it's hard to, I think, for the average American because

this is just...

This is not a situation where there's a person who came across the border in a situation where they necessarily weren't making a decision to violate the law.

These are 4,000 people intentionally telling you days in advance, weeks in advance, that what our goal is is to come break the law.

And that is, there's just not, there's not a lot of sympathy, I think, from even Americans who are open to

border reform and immigration reform.

It's just a weird tactic.

And to do it three weeks before an election, it's almost like Donald Trump was like, hey, guys, would you mind creating a caravan and sending it this way?

And what I will do is I will talk about it and it will help us win this election.

And then afterwards, you guys can go back home.

We'll play for your bus.

I was reading about the makeup of the caravan, too, earlier.

Some of them are children with their parents.

Many of them are children unaccompanied by their parents.

So

I try to figure out, all right, how did that

occur at home?

Did the parents just say, hey, you know what?

It's time for you to walk to the United States.

And I want you to walk in that group of people.

And here's a guy I'm paying $7,000 to walk somewhere in the group with you and he'd get you across the border.

Is that what you're doing?

Or are you just entrusting your children to who knows what?

Where is the personal responsibility of the parents here?

Yeah, I mean, there's got to be some.

There is.

And I think their case would be, or at least the case the left would make on their behalf would be,

you know, things are so bad

in Honduras or Guatemala.

I mean, they could get a lot worse.

You can be killed on the way here.

You could be molested on the way here.

Somebody may not be there on the other side of the border.

I mean, there's so many things that can go wrong.

You talk about helicopter parents.

I mean, that's pretty much the opposite.

Like, hey, good luck.

It's the same thing.

We talked about this yesterday.

You know, letting my kid walk, who's seven, walk

the dog up the street, not the whole street, but part of the street without me, you know, hawking over him the entire time makes me as a parent freak out.

I've told this story a few times.

You know, we live in a neighborhood at the end of our block.

There's a giant pond there in a green area.

It's common to everybody in the neighborhood.

And when my daughter was 16, she said, hey, dad, I'm going to walk down to the pond.

Like, alone?

Without your brother?

No.

When I stop and think about how,

you know, pretty protective.

Yeah, exactly.

I don't let them walk down to the end of the block, let alone, hey, why don't you walk to Honduras with a group of people that I don't know?

Good luck.

Now, look, there are situations you could argue, right?

Like, if you were in,

you know, you're in North Korea, right, and you had a chance to get your kid out, you probably pulled the trigger on that, whether you ever see them again or not, right?

There's a certain level of this.

And that's not to say that none of the people in these situations are like this.

There probably are some, but it's just you try to, it's the same thing with the dreamers, right?

They try to give you the picture of everyone as a four-year-old who came across the border.

And in reality, like most of them are teenagers.

Most of them were 16 and 17 years old.

This is

a different story.

And you just wonder, first of all, why you would do this because it's a gift to Donald Trump.

If you want to talk about hardening the borders, this is an easy way to get people together to do that.

When people hear a story like this, it does not soften their hearts.

It makes people say, whoa, this, you know, because the word invasion gets used with illegal immigration sometimes from people who oppose it, you know, in a hawkish manner.

Right.

And, you know, like 4,000 people can kind of qualify.

Right.

Like 4,000 people coming across the border, whether you like it or not, feels like an invasion.

Right?

It feels like, wait a minute.

It does.

They're just top, like what they're talking about.

The only way they could do anything here is overrunning what we have, right?

Like overrunning the security.

They're either coming in the right way or they're overrunning security.

And you see that Mexico does not want to deal with this, but they know that

they're not the end location.

So they can let them into Mexico and say, well, you guys apply for asylum, and in six months, you come back for that hearing.

And of course, they're just going to keep walking north.

And it's interesting how other countries deal with this.

And yet

the vitriol directed at us for trying to deal with it in just even a fairly reasonable way.

Every time we do, we're hateful, we're uncaring, we're racist, whereas Mexico certainly protects their border.

Do you remember what Felipe Calderon said when he came to the United States and he was trying to influence our immigration policy?

Of course, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job, they can work.

If somebody do that without permissions,

we send back them.

They send back them.

They send back them.

If they do it without permissions, they send back them.

But we can't.

We're expected to just accept everybody.

We don't know who they are.

We don't know what they're doing.

We don't know what they bring to us.

Mexico has a pretty stiff immigration law.

They've got a streamlined law that ensures foreign visitors and immigrants are in the country legally, have the means to sustain themselves economically.

They're not destined to be burdens on society.

They are of economic and social benefit to society.

Wait,

you expect your immigrants to contribute?

They're of good character, no criminal background, and they're contributors to the general welfare and well-being of the nation.

They make sure that they don't have any sort of

criminal record.

They make sure they do have visas.

They make sure that they ban foreign visitors from interfering in the country's internal politics.

Can you think of it?

I mean, how many illegal immigrant protests have there been where they're waving the Mexican flags in our faces, where they're demanding rights that they think they have coming to them?

In Mexico, you can't even

interfere in their internal politics.

Plus,

if they think that you're going to throw off the balance of their demographics, they deport you.

I mean, that's

plainly racist, right?

I mean, like, that is not ⁇ there's not an argument there.

We would never,

you can't do it.

No, you can't do that, and nor should you.

You shouldn't be like, well, I would like this percentage of African Americans and this percentage of the people.

We want to make sure we're still 70 or 80%.

Yeah, I mean, that's sick.

Would you, I wouldn't, I can't, I can't think of one Trump supporter who would

support a policy where we had to keep the exact same percentages of white people versus other races.

What you want are people who are productive, who are here because they want to be here and be part of the society, who are going to add something to our community instead of taking things from it.

I mean,

that's what you want.

The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

That really is incredible.

It's mind-boggling.

It really is.

It's border security for me, but not for thee.

And that is not a, that is not a, that's incredible.

I mean, that's an incredible

line there that they draw.

It is.

You know, it's not the right thing.

And it's politically, when he's look, the bottom line is we are, we have a lot of illegal immigrants here.

There will be more that are coming.

We need to tighten that up.

That is a completely, it's a larger argument that needs to be addressed.

And we've, you know, been talking about it for years and years.

But politically speaking, you got three weeks to a midterm election.

There's no, like, this is a complete gift.

to the Republicans, to people who care about the border, to people who have any, to Donald Trump and the people he's supporting.

supporting, it's a gift.

It is, and he's telling Republicans that.

Yeah.

Saying, hey, use this.

Use it in your election campaign.

Start talking about immigration.

Because I haven't heard any of them doing that.

Are any of the Republican candidates using immigration?

Not that I've heard.

I mean, maybe someone somewhere is.

But it doesn't seem to be a general theme for the party.

Yeah, I did hear Cruz talking about it in the debate.

I don't know that he mentioned the caravan per se, but I mean, he was talking a lot about about border security.

I mean, there's a really close race in Arizona, a race where McSally has, I think, a great chance of winning.

Because her opponent there is like, if you took Michael Moore and put him, his brain into a female body of a congresswoman, you would have all of these tapes that they've been finding about her where she's saying, you know, she's bashing Arizona.

She's saying it's the meth lab of democracy.

She's saying people are crazy in Arizona.

She's talking about how, I mean, she's on 9-11 Truther shows.

I mean, she is as, it's incredible that they've decided to run her and thought that this stuff would not come out.

And McSally is, you know, you're talking about one of the first female pilots in history of the Air Force, incredibly accomplished, has a great chance of winning in a tough environment in Arizona.

Adding on this situation where,

you know, you basically have a code pink worker, a code pink staffer is running for Senate in Arizona.

And

it was a huge mistake, I think, for her to be there.

Is she literally with Code Pink?

Or are you just saying she's

summarizing her views?

I don't know exactly.

She's been with a lot of these

left-wing extreme groups

in the early 2000s to the point where, again, she co-hosted a show with someone who was a 9-11 truther.

Wow.

For a while.

That's like

bonkers over the line, right?

And the fact that you have a really solid candidate there in Arizona, and it's a border state.

It's a big deal there.

Texas is another one.

The Cruz, you know, Cruz has got a lead there, but I mean, he's always been talking about border security.

But again, look at the other side of that with Beto.

He doesn't want no wall.

He doesn't, I don't know that he even wants a border, frankly.

It doesn't seem like it.

And he's made a big deal out of it.

Some of his ads are like, let's protect the Dreamers.

Let's protect the Dreamers.

And you know what that means?

means it means amnesty for everybody it doesn't stop with the dreamers and every i think everybody who has watched this battle for the last 15 or 20 years knows it doesn't stop with the dreamers they're they're gonna they want amnesty for all illegals here all illegals because you can't just say all right the dreamers can stay well what about their parents okay yes they can stay what about their cousins okay it's the whole chain thing that that trump talks about from time to time that's what will happen if you grant the man man amnesty.

Just talking about the Ted Cruz Beto O'Rourke.

And for some reason, everybody, I guess including him, really

emphasize it's Beto

O'Rourke.

It's not Betto.

No, it's not Betto.

Beto, Beto.

Beto O'Rourke.

So anyway,

that race continues to be pretty interesting.

Right now, it looks like Cruz has this pretty well in hand.

Right now.

He's up by seven, I think, on the average.

Yeah, he is up about by seven.

He, of course, is a deep Hispanic roots.

That's why, if you don't know what Betto is, it's a deep Hispanic nickname for this deeply Hispanic man whose name, Robert Francis O'Rourke, might not signify to you that how Hispanic he is, which is why he's called Beto.

Right.

Bet Betto.

Right.

But yeah, he was, I mean, I assume he probably was a dreamer, right?

He probably came here.

You would assume that.

He was in Ireland and dreamed of coming to the United States and then came here and became Hispanic.

And I think he believed he was until the Hispanic caucus said, no,

you're not Hispanic.

So even the nickname didn't get him in.

I don't know.

That's weird, right?

Again, racism.

Exactly.

Here is Betto addressing his nickname.

Congressman, throughout the campaign, you have been attacked for being what Don Jr.

has called an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic.

So what does the Hispanic community mean to you and what relationships do you have with that community?

So, to clarify the question about my name, I was born Robert Francis O'Rourke, son of Pat Francis O'Rourke, who was the son of John Francis O'Rourke, father to Ulysses Francis O'Rourke, who will go as UFO

for much of his life.

And from day one in El Paso, and you know this in McAllen: if you are born Robert or Albert or Gilbert or Umberto, your folks, your friends, your community calls you Betto.

That's my nickname that I've gone by for my entire life.

Born and raised in the fourth generation in El Paso in a community that is more than 80% Mexican-American.

First of all, I've just, you know, I'm not Hispanic.

No one calls me any name other than Stu

at this point, which isn't even my name either.

You can criticize me the same way you can talk about Beto, because that's actually not my name.

My name's Steve.

And inexplicably, I am called Stu.

Thanks a lot to Glenn Beck for that that one.

But what I would say there is, first of all, it's just an inefficient process.

I don't mean to criticize the culture of the Hispanic people, but if you have, if, if, if it's true what Betto is saying, which is anyone who's named any of four names are all called Betto, is that true?

Everyone who's

everyone who's called Albert is called Betto?

No.

Everyone?

Everybody born in El Paso that's of Irish American descent that's named Albert and named Robert Robert Francis.

They're called Betto.

I would love to know if we could go and find an actual Robert in El Paso.

Do any exist?

Maybe we can hear from somebody in El Paso.

If you were in El Paso or anywhere around there and your name is Robert, I'd love to know if you exist.

Because what we were just told is, as everyone knows, if you happen to grow up in El Paso and your name is Robert, Bill, Ted, Stanley, Orlando, or Reginald,

you're referred to as Betto.

That can't be true.

No, it can't.

It can't be true.

And I don't think it is.

I'm not saying it's not a common nickname in some communities.

It probably is, but it wasn't his community.

And is it not cultural appropriation?

Did he not appropriate Hispanic culture?

How is that not a problem?

If that is a thing, this is an example of it.

Yes.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Congressman, throughout the campaign, you have been attacked for being what Don Jr.

has called an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic.

So what does a Hispanic community mean to you and what relationships do you have with that community?

So to clarify the question about my name, I was born Robert Francis O'Rourke, son of Pat Francis O'Rourke, who was the son of John Francis O'Rourke, father to Ulysses Francis O'Rourke, who will go as UFO

for much of his life.

And from day one in El Paso, and you know this in McAllen, if you are born Robert or Albert or Gilbert or Umberto, your folks, your friends, your community calls you Beto.

That's my nickname that I've gone by for my entire life.

Born and raised in the fourth generation in El Paso, in a community that is more than 80% Mexican-American.

Okay, so if you're born Robert,

Albert, Gilbert, Umberto, Paul,

Frank,

Blaine,

Biff,

Dave,

Don,

Jack,

or Frank.

You're called Betto.

And Frank twice, right?

Yeah, I just want to make sure.

Yes.

Okay.

Because that's true, as we just learned.

That's an amazing accusation.

Now, remember, I didn't realize, too, he said it's not just El Paso.

It's also McAllen.

McAllen.

So I guess this is all over Texas, is apparently what's true here.

And one of the things I would love to do today to see, to test this.

Is it true that there is no example of someone named Robert, Albert, Gilbert, or Umberto who was not named what they're...

So if you are Gilbert and people call you Gilbert, apparently to Beto, you do not exist.

You are not a person.

You're not.

We just, we have no evidence that you exist.

So if you happen to be a Robert, an Albert, a Gilbert, or an Umberto.

Well, if you're Umberto,

obviously you're probably going to have a Hispanic nickname, right?

That's kind of a Hispanic name.

I would probably think.

Umberto.

Yeah, I don't know what you would shorten Umberto to, except maybe Betto, I guess.

I don't know any people who are not Hispanic who are named Umberto.

And this is an opportunity for us, Pat and Stu, two white, white whiteys.

We're talking

whitey to the max, two of the whitest people you'll ever know with almost no cultural awareness whatsoever to be learned here.

We can be taught about

Hispanic culture.

I mean, Betto has been white-splaining us some Hispanic culture here over the past few months.

But I would like to know from people who actually grew up in these areas: is it true that everyone, I'm sure there are some examples, I can think of one off the top of my head who's named Robert Francis O'Rourke and calls himself Betto.

But is there, is this a common thing to the point of, I believe his standard was everyone who gets named one of those names in Texas or

in these communities would be referred to as Bento.

Is it possible?

Is there a unicorn out there that is named Robert and is only called Bob?

Is there someone out there who is named Albert and is called Al?

Is that a unicorn?

Is that a mythical being or does that exist?

888-727-BEC.

888-727-2325.

If you happen to be someone named Robert.

And you're born in El Paso or grew up in El Paso.

Yeah, or McAllen.

Yeah, I mean.

Somewhere along the border.

Along the border of Texas, in southern Texas, somewhere.

Or I suppose it would also apply in Arizona, right?

Or California.

Yeah, any.

I mean, he didn't, he limited it to, I would say, Texas border area.

But I would be interested to see if this is a widespread phenomenon.

Is it possible?

Can a mother...

name their kid Gilbert and not have them referred to as Beto their entire life.

Is that a possibility?

I don't know.

I am just not in tuned to the cultural developments as much as I should be.

And, you know, please come and white explain this to us because we are just, that's not our role here, Pat.

We're just too white.

We can't understand things like this.

Exactly.

Let me admit, I'll just admit it.

To me,

Betto, referring to himself as Betto, feels like a guy who wants to take advantage of the Hispanic community for votes.

And I know that can't be true, but it's just because I'm too white to understand it.

I can't quite get there.

I can't clear that hurdle to understand

why someone would do that.

And we will soon find out to see if we can find any Roberts who are actually Roberts.

It looks like we have

Joe Robert, who no doubt is Betto, calling from El Paso.

Joe Robert?

Yes, here.

Is it more preferred for us to refer to you as Betto?

No, no.

Not even Jose.

Don't even call me Jose either.

Okay.

What is your actual given name?

My birth name is Joe, J-O-E, first name, Robert, R-O-B-E-R-T.

And I don't let anybody call me anything else.

So when someone calls you up, how do they refer to you?

Well, they don't say my middle name mostly because I don't give it out unless it's, you know, for formal stuff.

But just Joe.

Joe.

And then my last name.

Not Betta.

Not Beto.

I'm not Bob either.

I'm not Joe Bob either.

Let me ask you this.

And this is,

why did you call National Radio and lie?

Because Because we know everyone in these areas that has Robert is Beto.

Why would you lie?

No, all those names he mentioned,

it does depend on if they want to be called Betho.

It is their nickname.

I don't know what it is, but I've known all those people, and I've always called them either Albert and Berto, you know, and the other one, Gilbert.

I didn't even know Gilbert was Bethel, but that's new to me.

But do they, do a lot of white guys call themselves Beto, or do other people call them Beto?

Actually, he's the first one that that I know of.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, so,

Joe, what is your background?

Do you, what's your ethnic background?

I am Hispanic, you know, of Latin descent.

A lot of people, I get a lot of grief because they say I'm Mexican-American, but I refute that.

I'm not refuting it because I'm ashamed of it.

I do have Mexican background, but my surname, which of course I'm not going to give out, is from Spain, my surname, my last name.

So, this is this is fascinating.

You are in the in the Hispanic community, you have Robert in your name, you are not called Beto, and you know the people that you refer to in the Hispanic community with the names Robert, Albert, Gilbert, and Umberto, you refer to by their actual names.

Yes, I do.

Hmm, this is an interesting piece of evidence.

We found the unicorn.

You're the only one,

Stu.

We know there's one.

We should send this to Betto so he doesn't make this mistake next time on CNN.

I don't want him to go down a road where he's making mistakes and saying things that blatantly aren't true on national television.

That would be terrible for him.

We're just trying to help.

We're trying to help here, and so is Joe.

Thank you, Joe, for calling in.

And I would love to hear from more people.

If you happen to be Robert, Albert, Gilbert, or Umberto, or happen to live in a Hispanic community where you know someone of these names, is that always how you refer to it?

Because that is the standard set.

uh by beto and i'm curious to see if that if there are more unicorns out there we've discovered something today, but look at the work we've done.

This is hour one.

It's incredible.

We've already uncovered something that people have told us did not exist.

It's a miracle.

And all this hard research we've put into this today

by giving out the phone number, you know, once or twice.

And shockingly, we were able to uncover somebody.

So we'll see if there's more out there.

I don't know if there is.

I assume he's the only one.

We've done a lot of digging so far.

So maybe it'll produce more fruit.

I don't know.

Richard in Texas, you're on the Glenbeck program.

Hi.

Hey, guys.

My name is Richard.

I'm out here in El Paso.

Okay.

The first thing I like to say is that there's really not that many Latinos named Francis.

That's my first point.

Okay.

Your second point that you were mentioning, I would say that 95% of the people that are named in the names that you mentioned do go by veto.

That's a high percentage.

I mean, that's

a lot.

And I am a Latino and I am an American citizen.

All right.

Well, thank you very much.

That's what happens here in our community.

Okay, so you do.

In El Paso.

You do know a lot of guys, like a lot of white guys that go by beto?

No.

No.

Okay, so the guys you're talking about.

The 95%.

The white guys here are called gringos.

Right, right.

Yes, okay.

So this is an interesting distinction.

You're saying in the Hispanic community, people of Hispanic descent with some of these names are called Beto, But the people who are white named Robert Francis do not go by Betto.

No.

Yeah, okay, that makes sense.

Okay, well, I don't think this one helps Beto that much.

I don't think it does, but thank you for the call.

Again, look, there's a couple unicorns out there.

We're going to, you can always, when you're searching for horses, you're going to find a couple with horns on their head.

That's just one of the things.

Some of them are going to be able to fly.

It's part of the, it's just part of the experience when you're looking to find a horse.

Hey, look at that one.

It's got, it happens to be rainbow colored and is flying through the sky.

Everyone has those.

And you say, huh, how about that?

I'm just curious.

I'm just concerned.

Yeah.

Because, you know, look, CNN is the place where they're going to dig deep and get the facts out.

Check this guy.

Yeah, he's going to get a massive fact check at some point today.

Because apparently, we're hearing from El Paso that people that are white named Robert Francis are not typically called Beto.

This is, I mean, and we don't doubt at all that if you have Hispanic background and your name is Robert or Umberto, that you're called Betto.

That doesn't, I'm not surprised by that at all.

What would surprise me is if a lot of Roberts, who are just white guys, that usually go by Bob in this culture, are going by Betto.

Now, can you one interesting thing we could do with Robert Francis O'Rourke is you could call him Bob Frank O'Rourke, too, right?

We could go with

Bob Frank O'Rourke.

You could.

Yes, you could.

Bob Frank O'Rourke is not, it doesn't connect as deeply to the Hispanic community.

I wouldn't say Bob Frank,

but I'm sure that had nothing to do with his consideration by putting Betto and all of his signs.

Now, we all, of course, know that he was calling himself Bob on television when he was in a band.

Yeah, and that band performed on television in El Paso on their morning show, and he brought his incredible guitar stylings to the show.

And it was getting late in the show, and the host of the show was concerned that they got to start playing because the show is about over.

But But

listen to what he calls in here.

Bob, I'm afraid your show's going to be over.

Bob, I'm afraid the show's going to be over before you.

So he's talking to Betto, I believe, at that time.

And then you hear the guitar stylings of Betto himself, and he's incredibly talented.

Wow.

And listen to this guy.

It's good.

This isn't really him, is it?

Yeah, this is actually Betto playing guitar.

This is the band he's supposed to be?

Yeah.

And then they kick it into gear, man, And it's listen to that.

It's the guitar stylings

of Betto Francis O'Rourke.

Bob Frank?

Of Bob Frank O'Rourke.

Wow, that is.

Talented.

But he's called Bob.

Hey, Bob, my words, you're not going to get a siren's.

Listen carefully.

Bob, I've been afraid your show's not going to be over for you.

God's embarrassing.

This is just one giant embarrassment of a campaign, isn't it?

It is.

Yeah, it is.

I mean, the fact that this guy is caught on with the left, I mean, this man...

They want to run him for president in 2020.

He's raised more money than any Senate candidate in history for a quarter.

That's how much they love this guy.

He raised more in this quarter than Barack Obama did back in 2008.

That's incredible.

Is that amazing?

And because why?

He made a speech about the NFL where he said it was okay to kneel because they're not.

Couldn't think of anything more American than that.

I can think of several things.

I think that's a lot of people more American than that.

I don't think I understand it, but maybe we'll get more evidence from El Paso, and this will show us that there's only two.

There's only two people who would possibly disagree with the story from Betto O'Rourke in these communities.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

So this is an ad being run in Arkansas.

It's related to Brett Kavanaugh, and it's being criticized.

I don't know if you can detect anything here, Pat.

I would like to get your call on whether you can detect anything that seems a little odd here.

Here is the ad from the group supporting French Hill.

What do you think about what's happening in Washington?

Our Congressman French Hill and the Republicans know that it's dangerous to change the presumption of innocence to a presumption of guilt, especially for black men.

If the Democrats can do that to a white justice of the Supreme Court with no evidence, no corroboration, and all of her witnesses, including her best friend, say it didn't happen?

What will happen to our husbands, our fathers, or our sons when a white girl lies on them?

Girl, white Democrats will be lynching black folk again.

Honey, I've always told my son, don't be messing around with that.

If you get caught, she will cry rape.

I'm voting to keep Congressman French Hill and the Republicans because we have to protect our men and boys.

We can't afford to let white Democrats take us back to bad old days of race verdicts, life sentences, and lynchings when a white girl screams rape.

Paid for by black Americans for the president's agenda, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

First of all, I would totally watch a show with them hosting it.

This sounds fantastic.

And these are obviously real points they're making.

Yeah.

Right?

Like, the point of, and this is a fascinating thing from the left, who thinks that, you know, we, one of the biggest reasons Betto is in the public eye in the United States and not just a Texas figure is because of this video he made about

it's a great idea to kneel for the national anthem.

And what's behind that story?

People like Colin Kaeperdink saying that black people are being unfairly accused without evidence and being shot in the streets for no reason

for crimes they didn't commit.

At the same time, we're supposed to get on board, if you're on the left, you're supposed to get on board with

a new standard in which any white woman can accuse a man of rape and we're just supposed to believe her.

That is not going to work out well for African Americans or

any race of male, but this is the type of thing that makes no sense.

I mean, there are real cases of this.

This isn't a fake thing.

Go back to, you know, we talked about Tilltown.

Go back to Emmett Till.

I mean, this goes back a long way where black people were accused of doing terrible things to white people when they didn't.

And entire communities went and attacked the black person.

this is obviously going back quite a ways but it is something that legitimately is part of our history and it's surprising at the least if liberals actually cared about black people and black men like they say that they do that they would want to embrace a standard like this so the point behind the ad i think is is relatively fair and is something that should be communicated i think to the the african-american community the criticism is perhaps a little overdone a little overdone potentially that is the criticism here and it's interesting because I don't think it's a...

I don't know

for sure on this, but my understanding is that these are the people who are recording this are African Americans.

There's not like a white person doing a black voice, quote unquote.

These are African Americans talking.

And I guess the idea is that they have picked the stereotypical African Americans to do the commercial.

It's very uncomfortable.

I don't think that this is something that French Hill necessarily is embracing by any means, but it is something that's making

a lot of waves in the media because they're trying to make it seem like, well, this is just this Republican and who's a racist.

I mean,

A, he didn't have anything to do with the ad, but besides that,

it's an interesting double standard that we find ourselves dealing with.

Always.

Yeah.

And we get that double standard

to the 10th power.

And, you know, I guess we get kind of used to it by now.

I'm just sort of used to the double standard and to the point where you almost feel silly bringing up the double standard because it happens so much.

It is.

But it's so obvious sometimes you have to.

For example, does anyone, I mean, if you don't live in French Hill's district, do you know who French Hill is?

He's not a major.

I actually don't.

Yeah, he's not a major national figure as a Congress person.

So, you know, like, I think this wouldn't be a big national story.

It is a big national story today.

What is not a big national story is a name that almost everyone knows, Louis Farrakhan.

Louis Farrakhan is not a big national story today.

He's making no waves at all for his comments yet again about Jews.

Now, this is a person who has met with

people like Keith Ellison.

He has met with several congressmen.

He's been embraced many times, but even fairly recently, people meeting with him.

We know that Barack Obama at one point, apparently, had met with him.

We didn't find that out until he was out of office.

How that happens, it's amazing.

But here is the latest from Louis Farrakhan.

Remember,

every knock

is a boost.

So when they talk about Farrakhan,

call me a hater,

you know what they do.

Call me an anti-Semite.

Stop it.

I'm anti-termite.

I don't know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference.

Okay.

Right.

Yeah.

You didn't know anything about hating somebody because of their religion.

Really?

Really?

You just, you seemingly just called Jewish people termites.

Yeah, you don't know nothing about that.

He said more clearly than that that that's what he's talking about in other speeches.

Wow.

Pretty amazing.

The other thing that's interesting about Louis Farrakhan is nobody loves Louis Farrakhan more than Louis Farrakhan.

Oh, that's for sure.

I mean, this guy guy thinks he's really clever.

Every rhyming line, he's got this gigantic smile on his face like he's uncovered some deep historical truth or

solved a perpetual motion machine.

The guy is like...

He put everybody in their place just now by slamming them down.

I don't know nothing about hating no religious group.

I'm not anti-Semite.

I'm anti-termite.

Like, he thinks that's awesome.

Yeah, he does.

He's really excited about himself that he realized both of those words.

And in Eight,

he is excited about discovering that.

That was an amazing revelation to him.

This is something that he's hanging around, and he's like, I don't have any speeches, scheduled, scheduled one.

We need a speech just for this line.

That's how excited he looks when he delivers that.

He's really pumped up about it.

And I don't think he got the requisite.

reaction from the crowd.

I think he wanted more of a, you know, a gasp or a laugh or something.

He just kind of got.

Yeah.

wait, I don't know how to respond to that.

That was kind of a bad statement.

I don't think, I think he's going to be in trouble for that.

I'll give him this, though, though.

The words do end in a similar fashion.

So that is something that he was able to do.

They do.

Termite and semite.

So

that's why he said it that way.

Powerful.

Powerful.

That's really funny.

Oh, man.

He's just like, he's so happy.

He looks so happy as he delivers these.

I can't wait to deliver genocide upon the Jews.

And he he just big smiles.

As long as he can come up with something

that rhymes, you know, people have simple pleasures.

And I think that's, you know, he's got a couple of things he's asking for.

Rhyming words and killing the Jews.

Other than that,

you know, maybe a good cup of iced tea.

You know, something, something, the simple pleasures beyond that.

I mean, he's...

He's said some pretty outrageous things that get very little coverage.

And this is another one.

People just, they seem to kind of ignore him and act like

he's not there supporting Democrats.

He's kind of not there, you know, at the very edge of the left.

But

if anybody on the right, again, this is the double standard, had said anything approaching that

about any reason.

Can you imagine if somebody on the right had said something like that about Muslims, would that be everywhere?

It would be everywhere on the mainstream media.

But he, for some reason, kind of flies under the radar and gets away with all of this stuff.

I mean,

he still hasn't really suffered any consequences from talking about killing Malcolm X,

even.

Which he pretty much admitted.

Which he pretty much admitted with this.

I love Elijah Muhammad the North that if you attack him, I will kill you.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

And I'm not a killer.

But neither are you.

But if somebody attack what you love,

each one of you in here would become a killer instantaneously.

We don't give a damn about no white man law when you attack what we love.

It ain't none of your business.

What have you got to say about it?

Did you teach Malcolm?

Did you make Malcolm?

Did you clean up Malcolm?

Did you put Malcolm out before the world?

Was Malcolm your traitor or was he ours?

And if we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell's business is it of yours?

Is that amazing?

That's

almost an exact admission that he murdered somebody.

Yeah, we killed men.

It's none of your business, though.

We don't follow your white man law.

No.

Wait, not murdering somebody is white man law?

I hope that's not true.

I don't think that's true.

No, I don't think it is either.

And by the way, his Twitter account's still active.

In case you were, if you have a conservative that recently had his account removed, you could still get Lewis.

Lewis could still keep posting these

videos.

The Jewish termite thing was posted on Twitter.

They didn't shut him down.

This is absolute Hitler stuff we're talking about.

This is Hitler stuff.

This is Third Reich stuff.

This is the architect of the Third Reich, Betto Spears stuff.

It's just not right, family.

No, that's not.

We're getting deep.

We're getting deep down here.

But I think it's important to point out, this is, I mean, that's scary.

It is.

That is

scary.

And it's the fact that he continues to get away with it with no repercussions still.

No.

I mean, like, yeah, yes, if you ask a Democrat publicly, will you distance yourself from this guy?

Most of them will say yes.

They will distance themselves.

I have nothing to do with him.

They will attempt that.

Then you find pictures of them together.

Like Barack Obama.

It comes out later.

But at least they're at the point that the only real repercussions this guy has faced for any of this anti-Semitism is

basically that he occasionally gets a public denial from a public source.

And remember,

he said that very early on with Obama, saying that he said he would say this.

Yeah, he's going to distance himself from me, but that's okay as long as he does the right thing.

Right.

You know, I mean, so this is

a terrifying thing.

And the idea that, I mean, certainly the, you know, you remember the million man march, right?

Which, you know, was not a million, but it was a lot of people.

The nation of Islam is not not a group of 20 here.

Yet we'll find the Jews will not replace us guys from Charlottesville.

Gosh, that's a national story

today for years and years.

And years and years, the biggest story of all time.

I mean, these guys, you know, it's a much larger contingency here.

Much.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Like listening to this podcast?

If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

We have the story about Kleenex rebanding their man-sized tissues because of the gender backlash.

Yes.

Wait, what did they do?

Well, there's been many people have complained.

In the story, and from Kimberly Clark, who is the maker of Kleenex,

many people have complained that man-sized tissues

were sexist and not inclusive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's offensive.

They're all complaining about

lady footlocker, too, right?

Like they're all complaining about things that are designed specifically for women.

No.

Are you?

What?

Are you trying to make fun of this?

Yeah.

No,

man.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm saying that.

Are you a misogynist?

Are you the leader of the manvertising campaign?

Manvertising.

I mean, that's

fun to you.

I mean, I honestly, this is an honest question.

What's the difference between a female and a male tissue?

How does that work?

Well, look, there's a difference because it's called man size.

So it's just bigger?

It's just

a bigger tissue.

Yes, and it's just, what it is, and he actually said manvertising.

That's what they're calling it.

So listen.

Manvertising.

And Kleenex.

I like that term, though.

Yes.

It's fun.

And Kleenex has said it in no way.

We no way suggest that being both soft and strong is an exclusively masculine brand.

They by no way are saying no way.

Not by saying it's a man-sized.

Man-size branding suggests or endorses gender inequality.

No way.

No way.

So they're keeping the man-size?

They're sticking by it?

Well, they're going to keep the actual product, but they're going to

rebrand it.

Of course, they're going to rebrand it.

Rebrand it.

To what?

Kleenex extra large.

Now,

I like to say this, that I believe that's fat shaming.

I want that off.

That extra large stuff?

No way.

I think you can put it on.

I want you to complain to corporate headquarters and Kleenex.

I want you to complain.

That's amazing.

Seriously, let's get them away from even the extra large.

What are you?

A triple, quadruple extra large?

What are you?

5X?

Extra large is in the name.

Yeah.

And that's offensive to you.

It is, actually, it is.

Yeah.

It is.

So.

That's amazing.

Did you remember

Dr.

Pepper 10, which came out a few years ago?

Yeah.

It's still out.

I mean, you could still have it.

And it's a 10-calorie version.

It's not quite diet, which is zero calories.

It's supposed to be more for men, right?

That was their advertising campaign.

And they stopped Dr.

Pepper 10.

It's for men.

And they made it.

It was all branded almost like an old spice commercial.

Like it was branded with all masculine, you know, big guys with big muscles and like doing crazy things, lifting cars and all this stuff.

You know, it was just a funny, jokey campaign.

I bet they wouldn't even do that today.

I haven't seen an ad like that.

No way.

I haven't seen it.

They don't even talk about Dr.

Pepper 10 anymore, do they?

I mean, no, I haven't seen a commercial for it in a while.

It is still available and pretty delicious, by the way.

Is it?

I would say I'm a fan.

I'd be very interested to see what many people have

equals.

Because they also say in the story from Kimberly Clark that despite our consumer service registering consistent increase of complaints.

Okay, so what is that?

Two to two to five people.

Or is it the same three people that are complaining more than once?

Yeah.

I mean, that's what it's got to be.

A couple of people on Twitter said something.

Right.

And they freaked out.

Right.

Yeah.

That's like Pam on the office, and they said,

she said, I doubled my sales last month.

And someone said, well, from two to four?

And she said, yes.

It was.

It was two to four.

So yes.

That's kind of what we're talking about.

These are not real complaints.

I mean, again, you can always find someone to say something.

I always get frustrated by these

news stories that come out and be like, someone on Twitter said that they were upset.

And it's just like one person on Twitter.

Finding someone to say any example of any

Twitter combination in the English language is not an achievement.

It's certainly not a news story.

So the idea that you can find some people who are going to be pissed off at man-sized, I'm sure there is somebody, some crazy person.

There's probably some organization that has decided this is going to be their thing of the day to make their donors feel good about themselves as if they've achieved something in life.

But in reality, this is not a real complaint.

People don't care.

People don't care.

If you like man size, then you take the man size thing, right?

I mean, who cares?

And women could buy a man size.

Just like if we wanted to, we could buy it.

They'd probably get looked at funny if they went through the register with the man size.

Of course not.

There is

no downside to this.

They'd be female shamed.

Yeah, they might be looked at.

Man-shamed.

That's not a bad thing.

You're not except for you.

You can't buy that.

You can't buy that.

Your money's no good here.

It's not the way it works.

They like your money all the time.

Yeah, they do.

Yeah, they do.

Now, if Jeffy went through another transition and went back

because you, what are you, three or four transitions?

So going back to female, let's just say.

And you were then would be a larger

female if you were to transition back.

You'd be on the large side of the female scale.

That'd be fair.

That'd be fair.

And you wanted to go buy now man-sized tissues, would this be offensive to you if you were now identifying as a woman?

Very well, could be.

I mean, I know that, you know,

really?

Very well, it could be, yes.

Very well it could be.

Very well could be.

Okay.

At one of the transitions when I was a female, and again, I was, you know, larger.

Yeah, right.

A female.

They don't have a fat girl section.

Oh.

In the stores.

They have the fat guy section, big and tall or whatever.

But in

most stores, not all, but most stores, if you're a bigger female, you have to shop in the maternity section.

Oh, really?

I think that's old school.

I think that that's been rectified

recently.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Because if I go back to female and I have to go to a maternity section.

No, I don't think you'll have to.

I don't think you'll have to go to the maternity section anymore.

You should challenge Jeffy's unique life experience on this particular topic.

That's probably true.

All right.

We got more coming up here.

888-727-B-E-C-K.

Yep.

And it's Chewing the Fat with Jeff Jeff Fisher.

Go on the podcast app and search for it, and it'll be up later today.

Absolutely.

Appreciate it.
