'No Shame'? - 5/24/18

The Blaze Radio Network

on demand.

Glenn back.

Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

He's on vacation this week.

Be back with you on Monday.

So Tuesday.

Oh, yeah, Tuesday, because Monday is wow, it's Memorial Day weekend.

That is Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah, that just

caused a little spark of happiness

racing through my entire body.

Good.

Yeah, that's nice.

That's nice.

Good reminder there, Jeffy.

The NFL has banned sort of kneeling, but they didn't make it a 15-yard penalty, which I thought was an interesting idea.

And that's something that would be enforced.

I did originally, but I don't know that I don't know that you find

my original thought was the 15-yard penalty, that's a good idea.

But then if they came out out of the field, right, and everybody is standing and then 10 players kneel down.

Is it one penalty?

Is it 10 penalties?

Are they starting the drive in the parking lot?

I mean,

15 yards for every player who kneels.

I will say this, though.

If they did something like that, that would make it really enforced because no team is going to want to start the game with penalties.

I know.

Nobody's going to.

I know.

Maybe okay because you get one 15-yard penalty and a fine.

It would have made it serious.

Whereas now.

Oh, it was.

Yeah, it's like, oh, okay.

If you break the rules, we're going to give you a little fine.

New York Jets owner has already said he'll pay the fines for his players if they want to kneel.

And

the 49ers owners voted against it.

I'll go back and talk to my players.

I want to work on social justice stuff.

What?

I don't want to hear the phrase social justice anymore.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear the word fairness, and I don't want to hear the phrase social justice.

I mean, that was Rogers' line, right?

When they talked to him about continuing our collaboration with players to advance the goals of justice and fairness in all corners of our society.

Thank you, Roger.

You know what?

That's not what the NFL is for.

I don't think so either.

It's just not what the NFL is for.

Don't talk to us about social justice and fairness and equality and all that stuff.

The NFL is the last organization on earth to talk about fairness and equality.

When you have 75% of your players that are a certain ethnicity, how's that fair?

Not in the social justice world, it isn't.

You should leave in that out.

There should be a proportional amount of whites, of blacks, of Hispanics, of Asians.

Where are all the Asian players?

How many Native Americans do you have on your teams?

In every other aspect of life, we're not worried about merit.

We're worried about fairness and equality and equaling the playing field.

Why aren't you doing that?

Don't start talking to me about social justice.

A bunch of hypocrites.

Absolutely.

I mean,

I don't know that they've gone far enough for me to

completely stop watching it.

That's the hard thing.

Because are we going to stop watching it?

No, I'm not going to.

I mean,

although I don't watch much NFL to begin with, I'm going to NFL either.

Every once in a while, I'll see see a game on Monday night or whatever.

But I, you know, my big thing is college, and I think yours too.

So it wouldn't be impossible not to give up the NFL, but I like it.

I do too.

Who doesn't enjoy it?

And one of the things about the NFL is you wait for it all year long to help you combat the insanity of the rest of you.

It's like a getaway.

A refuge, a day of, I'm just going to watch football.

Yeah, it's where you don't have to think about all this stuff.

And then, even there, they start throwing it in your face.

Why?

And they won't do anything about it.

I still am just amazed that they can't and didn't say from the very beginning,

you are an employee.

You do what we say within the framework of this job.

If you don't want to, fine.

Go find another job.

And good luck finding one that pays you $15 million a year.

Good luck.

Good luck with that.

I know.

And good luck with a job that will give you a platform outside of the framework where people know you and you're able to promote your ideas.

Yeah, the whole thing is silly.

Just let people watch the NFL on the weekend and relax and enjoy something that's

not beating us down with what we hear every single day of the week.

We just, we don't want that.

I don't want to be beaten down with social justice, equality, and fairness during an NFL football game.

That's not why I'm tuning in.

And for the players, that's not why you're playing.

You're there on that team to play football.

Right.

Well, this has provided me a forum.

Go use your forum outside the football field.

Yeah.

You've been provided this forum on a large scale for the last, how many every years you've played in the NFL, and then whatever you played in, most of them them have played in Division I college football, which is a huge platform.

So you've been given this platform.

Like I said a couple of minutes ago, use that platform outside of the framework of the game to do whatever you want to do.

But Roger Goodell and

NFL management didn't nip this in the button

from the beginning, and so they allowed it to feasure and become this gigantic thing.

Whereas if at the beginning of the year

they would have said, look,

we don't want to offend half of our customer base.

More than half of our fan base.

Yes.

This is a business, a $10 billion a year business.

You will not kneel during the national anthem.

Period.

End of story.

And if you do kneel, okay, you're going to be fired.

This is a business.

You know, this is not the U.S.

government forcing you to

do something.

This is a private business with customer concerns, and we're trying to make money here.

That's what we do.

We're trying to make money for everyone involved, especially you guys.

So,

you know, they could have taken care of it in the beginning.

They sure could have.

And Roger tiptoed around it.

This is where we're at.

Yep.

And all of this nonsense that, oh, it's not about the national anthem.

It's not about the military.

It's not about patriotism to America.

Tell that to Colin Kempernick, who started this thing, because according to him, on every occasion he's been asked about it, it is about the anthem.

Yes.

And I'm tired of hearing that Colin doesn't, you know, nobody has afforded him an opportunity to play football.

Oh, they have.

And part of the deal was that he wouldn't kneel.

Come and try out.

But if you make the team, you can't kneel.

Wasn't acceptable to him.

Nope.

Okay.

Great.

No problem.

Stop complaining that you can't get a job then.

And yet we continue to hear that it's the NFL football team's fault that he's not playing.

Right.

It's not.

It's not their fault.

And

even if

he is talented enough, he'd make a good backup, even if that's true, and I'm not convinced it is,

but let's say it is.

Let's say he's the greatest backup in the quarterback in the NFL, and if he started, he could take you to the Super Bowl.

like Foles did last year for the Eagles.

Well, there's still the problem of bringing all of that controversy to the locker room.

To the locker room, to your football team, and to the fan base who's going to hate it.

And it's going to hurt your bottom line.

So, in the interest of your business, you decide it's not worth it.

Even though he's a good quarterback, it's not worth it, and I'm not going to hire him.

How does that not make sense to all these players in the NFL?

I don't get it.

I don't know.

And all these sportscasters.

Sportscasters are all going crazy over it, too.

When they suggested the 15-yard penalty, they all went nuts because they're all progressives.

All these sportscasters on ESPN and Fox Sports and

Sports Illustrated, they're all progressives.

And those guys all want the interviews, right?

They want to be able to go to the locker room and they want to be able to talk to Colin.

Yeah.

Yep.

So as it is, what is probably going to happen is that the NFL Players Association will just stop this.

Yes.

And we'll have the kneeling thing again.

And it'll probably be bigger than it's ever been.

It's really too bad because, you know, I love football.

I like the NFL.

I like watching the games.

I love the Green Bay Packers.

Just don't ram it down with you.

I watch football, please.

Don't

give us a place of refuge.

It's interesting to me that they don't understand that.

It is.

It is interesting that

they haven't been at least shown a path of, look,

when you guys play the game, we have this many viewers, we sell this many shirts, we sell this much at the stadiums, this is what we make.

You know, a rough draft.

It just doesn't have to be exact, but just rough drafts.

When you kneel, we only sell this much.

Now, the difference is what we're going to be paying you.

Plus, you have the evidence last year of the decrease in ratings, which we don't know if you can attribute it all to that.

No, I mean, they've spread themselves thin or two across all platforms.

Yeah, but still ratings were down and maybe that uh that was a part of it maybe that was a part of why and you've got that evidence to present to the players association and say look we're not going to lose our fans no stop it

triple eight seven two seven b e c k it's pat gray and jeffy for glenn on the glenn back program

pat gray and jeffy for glenn this week returns on tuesday after memorial day

uh you know what a weird situation this

Kellyanne Conway's husband thing is?

He's been really public with his tweeting about his distaste for the president.

You've got

probably the right-hand person of the president.

No kidding.

She's been there for a long time.

And

nobody's more loyal.

Than Kellyanne Conway.

And I think

she'd say anything for the president.

I believe that.

And then you've got her her husband tweeting out nasty things about him all the time.

Huge article about that.

That's a tough one.

Today, that's a really tough one.

That's a tough one.

Think about that.

You think Trump's okay with that?

No, absolutely not.

And you got to think.

What an uncomfortable situation for her.

No.

You got to think that

I'm comfortable at work and home now.

Yes.

Yes.

And you would think between the two of them at home, it'd be like, dude.

Of course, I don't know if Kellyanne Conway refers to her husband as such.

No, she does.

She does.

That's clear, yeah.

Dude, you're making this really tough for me at work.

Can you stop?

And he said, shut up, go cook dinner.

I don't know.

That must be what he said.

I don't know.

I'm just ignoring it.

Just out of concern for your wife, you would think.

Yes.

Okay, yes, I'll back off.

I'll keep it to myself.

I'll keep it to myself.

Or I'll talk to my coworkers about it, but I'm not going to share it publicly on Twitter.

Right.

You know what this would be like?

This would be like if my wife, Jackie, hated Glenn

and every day she tweeted about what a fraud Glenn is or she retweeted something about Glenn that was really negative.

What would that do to my relationship with Glenn?

It would hurt.

Yeah.

I would think he'd come to me and he'd say, Pat, what's the deal with Charlie?

Clearly.

Can you talk to her?

Well, yeah, I did, but she just won't listen.

She just keeps tweeting about you.

Is that a problem?

I'm going to have to live with it.

You're going to have to live with it.

I mean, I can't control her.

And that is a fact.

After all, you're an elected official.

Right.

And you know what?

I mean, you're a public figure.

My wife is a private citizen.

She's an American.

She's just going to say what she wants about you.

Okay.

All right.

So.

I mean, can you imagine?

I don't know that you would last very long in this job if that happened.

I mean, almost everybody's going to be able to do that.

Understandably so.

Now you're talking about the right-hand person of the president of the United States who's got to get on cable news every day and talk about his policies.

Talk truth to power.

Yep.

And defend him.

Yes.

And defend him and his policies and the things he says on Twitter and the investigation with Mueller.

And you got to do that every day.

And then you've got your husband working against you.

Right.

Tough situation.

Really tough.

And it's kind of amazing that Trump hasn't,

I don't know, fired her for it.

Has he ever, has he

ugly to, but you know, you know, it's almost understandable.

Look, I can't, Kellyanne, I love you.

You've done a great job, but I can't have

the closest person in your life working against me and my administration and really working against you every day.

It's a weird thing.

Well, I do,

I haven't delved into every tweet

that President Trump has tweeted.

No.

And by the way, I am not blocked by President Trump.

Well, you can't be.

Constitutionally speaking, you can't be.

Which is a weird feeling there.

I know, and we'll talk about that a little bit.

But

has he tweeted like, you know, hey, Kelly's wife, George,

man, he's such a bad guy.

I hate him.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so, which is amazing

on his part.

Amazing restraint, because he could, and he's certainly capable.

And I'm not, and I'm surprised he hasn't.

Just to say, you know, I love Kelly.

Kelly does a great job, you know, trying to distance the whole thing, but Kelly does a great job.

But, you know, not everybody picks the right spouse.

I've been through a couple of them myself.

And that'd be so easy for him to do.

Right.

I guess out of respect for Kelly Ann, he hasn't done it.

Good for him.

Yeah.

It's, I mean, he doesn't show a lot of restraint on Twitter.

No, he does not.

So that's amazing, actually.

It's It's amazing.

Triple-8-727-BECK.

So

we have that.

We also have the president talking about Spygate

and some thoughts that Jake Tapper from CNN had on that.

And, of course, we've got the NFL continuing their goofy policies.

Actually, they did the right thing, but they didn't put any teeth in it.

No.

And I hope that it's not too little, too late, but it kind of feels like it.

I do too.

Yeah, I do too.

Janet in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

Hi, Pat.

Hi, Jeffy.

Hello.

Just want to get right to the point about the NFL.

One thing that I noticed is

why haven't we heard anything about all this

problems and what they're trying to fight against during the offseason?

Right,

right, from the players.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

They split everything.

You know, they kneel and they make all these statements and everything, but yet when it's on their time during off-season, you don't hear anything.

That's a good point.

That's an interesting point.

And they will say that they have been doing that.

They just don't get the coverage they get during the event.

Which

I don't buy that.

No, I don't buy that.

Yeah,

the coverage shouldn't mean anything if you're so, you know, if everything that you're fighting against is so important.

Right.

Get out there and do something about it.

Right.

Thanks a lot, Jen.

Appreciate it.

Are you telling me if a bunch of NFL players got together on a street corner holding signs and protesting or kneeling on a street corner or whatever, that wouldn't be covered?

No, nobody would cover it.

No, nobody'd.

Nobody would be interested in that story.

Sorry, we see that every day.

Another NFL player protest over at Fifth and Main.

Nah,

that's not interesting.

I'm just not going to do it.

Oh, everybody would cover that.

That's a great point.

Where are you?

They could be tweeting about it every day

or once a week or once a month or any time during the offseason.

I haven't seen any of it.

None of it.

And every sports show and television morning show across America dies for guests.

No matter what.

You can certainly go on any show

what you're hawking.

There's time for you.

Well, the NFL network has a morning show.

You could go on there

and

talk about what you believe is social justice.

Right.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

It is.

Hadn't even thought of that.

It is.

888-727-BECK.

What do you make of the, speaking of the president as we were a moment ago, what do you make of the spygate conspiracy, the

FBI

infiltrating the Trump campaign with spies?

People are calling it Spygate.

The president was stopped by the press yesterday, and here's what he had to say about it.

It's so important.

What I'm doing is a service to this country.

And I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey.

And, excuse me, a lot of people have said it.

And you go into the FBI.

A lot of people have said it.

I know.

That's what I said.

I love that technique of his.

A lot of people have said it.

Well, then it puts it in your mind that, oh, okay, I haven't heard anybody say it, but he has.

So a lot of people must be saying it.

And a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you, I did a great service to our country by firing James Coleman.

We've got to continue this because it's

good stuff.

He's a master at this, and that's why he's in the White House.

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

Moore, Pat, and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glen Beck program.

With Pat and Jeffy this week, 88 727 back.

We were

playing some of President Trump's words yesterday.

He had some things to say about the spygate situation

and about James Comey and what's going on with the

continuing investigations.

It's so important.

What I'm doing is a service to this country.

And I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey.

And excuse me, a lot of people have said it.

And you go into the FBI.

A lot of people have said it.

Can you deny that?

No.

No, you can't.

The FBI and a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you.

They'll tell you.

I did a great service to our country by firing James Comey.

He's safe there because nobody's going to go into the FBI.

Like he said, you go into the FBI and you ask them, and they'll tell you that I did a great service firing James Comey.

We should book a trip to the FBI office in D.C.

and go into the FBI and say, hey,

by a show of hands,

who here believes that President Trump did a great service by firing James Comey?

There's reports that that's actually true.

Yeah, there are.

Oh, yeah.

I've seen them.

But it's just that he's

verify any of those.

You're not going to walk them.

Right.

I want them all to get together, and I want them because everybody wants to solve, but a lot of bad things have happened.

We now call it Spygate.

You're calling it Spygate.

A lot of bad things have happened.

You're calling, he's telling the press, you're calling it Spygate.

Nobody's calling it Spygate except him that I know of.

I'm reporting on it because you

called it.

It's reminiscent of this.

Unions did, in fact, build the middle class.

Right.

Yeah.

And that built, and here's what that did.

What'd that do?

That built the United States of America as we know it.

You know, you notice they always refer to me in the press as middle-class Joe.

Oh, no.

No, I've never noticed that, actually.

Everywhere.

The only one that refers to Joe Biden as middle-class Joe is Joe Biden.

So good.

So that's why it's good.

It's so great that

Donald Trump employs that tactic.

He does.

I'm calling it Spygate.

You're calling it Spygate.

Am I?

Is that what I'm calling it?

I guess so.

You told me.

It's the president.

He told me I'm calling it Spygate.

Spygate.

What it is.

Period.

All right.

John in New York.

Welcome to the Glen Back.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

Straight to your point.

Trump is beating the media at their own game.

CNN every day yells out whatever comes to mind and these little stick.

He's doing the same thing.

He's got better.

That is true.

You know, whether we like it or not, half the country agrees on him.

Half the country agrees on him.

So

I think that he has done a service.

I mean,

the leadership of the FBI, I think, is dirty.

Well, and appreciate the call.

Thanks, John.

There have been articles about how there was discontent inside the FBI about James Comey.

Yes.

And they also are concerned that the upper echelon has been way too political for for the past number of years, including who's there now.

And I know there are reports about FBI,

some FBI

detectives or whatever they're special agents.

Agents.

Special agents

want to be asked and subpoenaed by Congress so they can testify.

They want to be?

That was what's being reported because

they don't want to just come out and say it because then if they get subpoenaed, then Congress covers the costs.

A lot of people are saying they don't want to come out and say it.

A lot of people are saying that.

And it's exactly, that's exactly right.

You know, you're always hearing people call me positively perfect, Pat.

You're calling me positively perfect.

I am.

Yeah.

And

a lot of people say it.

They say, hey, that's Ray.

Positively perfect.

Perfect Pat.

A lot of people are saying it.

Wow.

It's a good tactic.

It is a good tactic.

Sims, I don't want to call you positively perfect, Pat.

Well, everybody's calling me that.

So why wouldn't you?

I guess I'll have to start now.

No problem.

Now, there is somebody who's not buying into this, Jake Tapper.

We've talked about Jake Tapper a lot.

To me, he's a really good journalist.

I think, though, he's somewhat irritated with the president.

He did a monologue that was pretty biting.

President Trump pushing a brand new conspiracy theory, one seemingly grounded more in suspicions and his desire for a counter narrative than it is based on established facts, tweeting in one of his five tweets today on the subject of this confidential FBI source who spoke with at least three Trump campaign members in 2016, quote, Spygate could be one of the biggest political scandals in history.

And this afternoon, the president went on to say this.

What proof do you have that your campaign being spied on?

All you have to do is look at the basics and you'll see.

It looks like a very serious event.

Well, we have looked at the basics.

What we know is this, the FBI, conducting a counterintelligence investigation in 2016 into whether Russians were trying to influence the election or just what they were up to, sent a confidential FBI source to speak with members of the Trump campaign.

U.S.

officials tell CNN that that source was not planted within the campaign.

He wasn't a campaign staffer, as far as we know.

There's obviously a lot we don't know, but there's no evidence as of now that this was done for political purposes, as the president is alleging.

We're told that the FBI was trying to figure out just what the Russians were up to and whether they were getting help from any Americans.

That makes sense.

Now, how tough would it be to find out whether or not this guy was part of the campaign?

You should absolutely have access to that.

Look for is his name on the campaign roster?

Was he paid by the campaign?

That should be easy to find out.

So, why haven't we now?

I don't know.

I mean, if the guy just interviewed campaign staffers,

that's not a spy within the no.

And did they do other interviews with the Hillary Clinton campaign?

You know, because they were concerned about the Russians and

the campaign.

Right.

Yeah, that's a good question.

It's a good question.

Now, while we await the investigation into this matter by journalists and by the Justice Department Inspector General, it's worth remembering that while we're sticking to the facts and telling you just what we know, President Trump apparently has no such constraints since he simply makes stuff up.

He frequently lies and has a long and well-documented career engaging in conspiracy theories about all manner of subjects with no concrete evidence ever provided.

Just a small sampling for years, he perpetuated the myth that President Obama wasn't born in the United States.

True.

He's got a point there.

He's claimed with no evidence he saw thousands of Muslims on TV celebrating 9-11 on rooftops in New Jersey.

Now, I think what happened there was he conflated that with the Middle East.

where there were thousands of Muslims cheering.

It did happen.

That happened in the Palestinian territories.

There's documented evidence of that.

Didn't happen in New Jersey, perhaps, but it did happen in the Middle East.

No evidence of that.

He bizarrely suggested Senator Ted Cruz's father might have been involved in the assassination of JFK.

Okay, there's no defense on that one.

There's just no defense.

He wasn't president here, though.

What?

This is during the campaign.

Well, right, yes.

That was during the campaign.

Nope.

You get to say what you're doing.

Explained that his popular vote lost by blaming three to five illegal votes.

Again, zero evidence for this.

He pushed a conspiracy theory that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was somehow involved in the tragic death of one of his staff members.

Again, well, now wait a minute.

Just stop right there.

I mean, let's not get hasty and just dismiss that one out of hand.

We need to dig a little bit deeper on that.

Jake, let's look into how a 26-year-old girl fell out of her chair and died.

Let's look into that, shall we?

Okay.

Zero evidence.

He said that former President Obama had his wires tapped in Trump Tower.

No evidence of that either.

I could go on, but this is just an hour show.

We should get to the bottom of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Russian election interference and whether anything was done improperly by law enforcement as well as those who are guilty of whatever they might be guilty of.

The FBI is certainly not above criticism, and without question, there needs to be a healthy and robust oversight of the intelligence agencies, but that's not what the president is pushing for here.

He's focused on propelling a counter-narrative to try to undermine the special counsel investigation.

It's a fable in which he is the victim, and law enforcement officials are the bad guys.

The president frequently seeks to undermine those who look to undercover uncomfortable facts about him.

This week, for example, 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl revealed that then-candidate Donald Trump told her during an off-camera conversation she had with him in the summer of 2016.

Stahl says she asked Donald Trump why he continues to attack the press and according to her this was his response.

He said, you know why I do it?

I do it to discredit you all and demean you all.

So when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.

Chilling, really, and yet wholly unsurprising.

And the president is now doing the same thing with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Justice Department and the FBI.

And as this new counter-narrative is being born, one that is being repeated already by the president's obedient supporters on the Hill and his vassals in conservative media, we here will continue digging for the truth despite this bombardment of falsehoods.

CNN's Jeff Zelany now picks up our coverage on decision.

We don't need to pick up the coverage on the decision, but if the Leslie Stahl thing is true, that's a problem.

We're just taking her word for it, though.

I know.

I don't know.

And sadly, it does sound like it would be true, though.

Well, it sounds like something he would say, but we don't know that he did say it.

And for her to just blurt that out, well, was that in a conversation where you were recording?

Was he on camera?

Let's see it.

Let's see the camera.

It's difficult to believe Leslie wasn't recording when she was around the president.

I know.

I do too.

So you're a 60-minutes reporter.

You must have had that on,

well, not on tape, but on some digitized form of recording.

So where is it?

Let's see it.

And the wiretap stuff, I mean, you know,

I don't think, I think that's been proven that it wasn't, they weren't listening to him directly, but they had other people that they were listening to, right?

So that if you were to talk with them, then you were involved in that.

Yeah.

I mean, it was pretty ⁇ I know that it wasn't ⁇ you know, technically he wasn't being listened to.

And I know that, you know, ardent President Trump supporters get upset with us when we even consider some of this stuff.

But, you know, I think we've always called it as we've seen it here.

Try to.

And when he does good things, we say he's done good things.

And when he doesn't do good things,

we mention that too.

You know, if you're going to praise him no matter what he does, as some do, as Jake Tepper pointed out in the conservative media, some do.

No matter what he does, they praise it.

Whether that's

making a trillion dollars more debt in a week or you know, appointing

Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

One's good, one's really bad.

And you're just defending all of it?

Well, that's kind of like a baseball umpire who's decided in advance before the game starts that because he likes the pitcher on the mound, he's going to call every single pitch a strike.

Is that fair?

No.

No.

You've got to call it

as you see it.

But I'd like to see the proof of the Leslie Stahl thing.

I'd like to see if she's got that on

tape because that would be interesting.

Yes, it would.

I'd like to revisit the Joe Scarborough.

Thank you, Jeffy.

Thank you.

Yeah.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Pack program.

Glenn back.

It's Pat and Jeffy this week for Glenn.

This is sad news.

This is disappointing.

President Trump wrote a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

saying that their planned summit next month in Singapore has been canceled.

He wrote, sadly, based based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it's inappropriate at this time to have this long-planned meeting.

So it's off.

I'm not sure to what

statement he was referring.

I don't know if I've heard one that openly hostile.

I'm not sure.

I know that he was talking about

not giving up the nuke program and everything, but he also goes on in this letter to say, you talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.

So he's just, he gets his digging like every time.

He gets his digging like, hey, Kim,

don't push me.

Right.

My dog's bigger than your dog.

A lot bigger.

We've got a great day, and you have a chihuahua.

So.

So, I mean, I pray I don't have to let him.

I was, I mean, this would have been great.

No kidding.

No kidding.

Maybe it can happen some other time.

And look, and he.

He's not closing the door to the.

No, he did not close the door at all.

He alludes to that

completely.

So, you know, it could still happen.

And China might make that happen with Kim.

I mean, Kim's got to

step up, right?

Yeah.

It's

amazing how quickly this went south.

First of all, went south in the beginning, turned around almost 180 degrees right around the Olympics when North Korea was

really reaching out to South Korea.

And South Korea has always wanted that.

So they were welcoming it.

And they sent representatives to the games.

And then after the games, there was more conciliatory talk.

And then Kim Jong-un met with Moon Jai-in from South Korea, and they had a decent conversation on the demilitarized zone.

They were talking about ending the Korean War finally, officially.

Yeah.

Now, obviously,

the actual action stopped a while ago, but

it's never been officially ended with the treaty.

And they were talking about doing that.

And then the summit was set up.

I mean, we had some serious momentum for peace.

Yeah, we did.

And then he got mad.

That's right.

He got mad because we were having our military exercises and we were coming together with them.

And

he was trying to play with the big boys, right?

That's why

President Trump had to remind him that

our dog's bigger than yours.

Thank you.

And not because it eats kennel ration, it's because you remember those commercials, by the way.

My dog's bigger than your dog.

No, of course not.

You would because

your grandfather might, right?

Yeah.

Triple eight, 727, back.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.

Glenn, back.

It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

Thanks for joining us on the show at noon Eastern, immediately following this show.

You can join me for my own show, Pat Gray Unleashed, Blazeradio.com, iHeartRadio app, Blaze Radio and TV Network every weekday, starting at noon Eastern.

Triple 8 727 back.

Something kind of fun coming up this summer.

A lot.

A lot

of classic rock tours.

I knew you were going to be able to not talk about that.

I can't help but talk about that.

I knew you weren't thinking of it.

I mean,

this hits you right where you live.

It does.

We started scrolling through this earlier, and it's just like, you know, that wouldn't be bad.

That'd be all right.

All of these would be, no, just about all of them, would be fantastic.

James Taylor and Bonnie Rait are touring this summer.

I don't know that I could take James, though.

Oh, I like James Taylor.

I'm not a big fan of it.

I know, but he's going to speak.

Oh, that's true.

If he starts injecting,

I would not want to see it.

Would not want to.

John Fogarty and ZZ Top will be together.

Yeah.

Steve Miller and Peter Frampton.

Wow.

Oh, that'd be great.

Wow.

Love to see that.

I would love to see Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers.

That'd be a good show.

What's great about the Doobie Brothers, too, is that

two out of the three

lead singers are with the band again, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons.

Still, though, no Michael.

No Michael McDonald.

And Walter Becker is gone from Steely Dan.

Yeah, you don't.

Dan.

Donald Fagan's going to be touring with them, but

it's not exactly the same.

I think one of their sons tours with Steely Dan, though,

with Fagan.

Jeff Beck and Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company, that wouldn't be bad to see.

No, it wouldn't.

And Jeff's always been great.

Paul Rogers was touring with Queen for a while, which would have been interesting to see.

I've already got tickets to Def Leppard and Journey.

That's coming to the DFW.

You don't like Def Leppard and Journey?

Not really.

I didn't think I could lose any more respect for you than I already have.

No, it just happened.

It just happened.

I guarantee you.

We're into negative respect now.

I guarantee you can.

There's no doubt in my mind that you can.

Yeah, we're definitely into negative territory.

That's for sure.

Holland Oates and Train.

Now, Train's not exactly classic rock, but I like Train.

I think Holland Oats is good, though.

And Holland Oats is good.

I remember seeing them.

Love them.

Once, a long time ago, they were put on a great show.

Rod Stewart, Cindy Lopper.

If you're lost, you can look and you'll find her time after time.

She's right there.

And so, like, if you get lost in the wilderness, you just look, and there's Cindy Lopper, and she'll lead you out of there.

I don't know why more people don't do that when they get lost because she's always said, you look and you find her.

Chicago and Ario Speedwagon.

Riding the storm out, baby.

It might be a good show, actually.

Except for their, you know, without Peter Satira.

I know.

Chicago's a tough one now.

I know.

I just saw them on.

Have you ever watched Axis TV?

Yeah.

They always have the classic bands on their live performances.

They had Chicago on.

And I was

interested to see if Robert Lamb still had his voice.

It's tough.

It is hard.

It's tough.

You know, he's in his 70s now.

That's really hard.

How long have they been touring on the road between everything else and then let alone life?

Right.

Yeah.

That's tough.

Really hard.

You too?

Biggest show.

Paul Simon?

Ringo Starr.

I always wanted to see Paul Simon.

Have you ever seen him, do you?

I have not.

I like a lot of his stuff, though, and I would like to see him.

Robert Plant.

Jeff Linz, ELO.

That might be worth a look.

That might be worth a look.

Oh, my gosh.

I'd pay almost anything to see ELO.

The Eagles, love love to see them too.

And now Glenn Fry, you know, who we lost Glenn Fry to, his son Deacon is part of the band.

So I think he sings the Glenn Fry songs like Take It Easy and all those.

And Vince Gill is doing some of the touring with them too.

Wow.

Yeah, that seems like a strange fit.

It does, but he might be able to pull it off, though.

Ozzy Osborne coming?

I know.

My son wants to see Ozzy Bad, my youngest son, because they're going to be in Dallas.

One of the tour dates is in Dallas.

We've got to go see Ozzy.

He doesn't bite the heads off doves anymore, but he does take a bite of a dove candy bar now.

But

his dentures can't get all the way through the bar.

I know.

It's going to be a little bit different show.

It's going to be interesting to see how they just walk him out on stage and say, okay, here you are.

You're in the city.

Go.

I know.

Seriously, does he even know where he is?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I mean, I don't know if he does.

That's amazing.

It's amazing how he does.

I think he does from time to time.

Roger Daltry touring without

The Who.

good luck with that rogue oh michael niesmith and mickey dolens from the monkeys you know david jones is gone now uh leonard skynyd their surviving members uh steven tyler i think he's doing a country he's he's touring for his country album that he did a couple years ago this is about

they were talking on here that it's about a month long it's not really a big tour he's just he's just going out and performing his country stuff for a few dates uh in the summer but uh i like steven tyler i do too i i kind of i like i love Aerosmith.

It might be worth going just for the fun of it.

Yeah.

Yep.

And then Alice Cooper, and on some of those shows, Ace Freely from Kiss will

be fun.

And

here's the worst part of going over this list.

You don't need to talk about that.

We found this list

on the AARP website.

So bad.

So

for retired Americans, I'm looking at the

Chris Cuomo story about him moving to prime time.

Yeah.

And I look along the side, you know, as the side ads of the website, whatever website I was reading in, and I see, oh, nostalgia tour.

And I click on it, it's AARP.

Oh, man.

What are you doing to me?

That hurts.

That hurts.

I shouldn't have clicked on it because now all I'm going to see is AARP ads.

I know.

Well, yeah, for sure.

For sure.

And I'm not a supporter of AARP with their

big progressive agenda that they, you know, the.

I know.

I wonder how they feel about Obamacare that they helped drive down our throats now.

How do you feel now?

You like that?

Idiots.

Right.

Idiots.

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

So we've mentioned a couple of things this morning.

The NFL kneeling rule, they've actually stated now that it's against the rules to kneel, and there'll be some penalties for it, but not like a 15-yard penalty, but you'll probably pay a fine.

Somebody will.

Also, the Donald Trump spygate thing still continues to brew, and the North Korean summit has been canceled.

President sent a letter to Kim Jong-un saying, yeah, because of your rhetoric, it's not appropriate to meet right now.

That's really actually disappointing.

It's a lot of sneak news.

It's disappointing.

It's disappointing.

It's a great thing.

I really want to.

For some reason, I don't know why.

I felt good about that actually happening.

Yeah, I did too.

Yeah, I did too.

Also,

some sad news.

The Iranian leader,

who is the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,

has said that the United States will lose in any matchup with Iran, just like the cat in Tom and Jerry.

What?

A hip reference.

You know, you talk about a pop culture aficionado.

You got to talk.

You're talking to Ali Khomeini.

I mean, everybody knows Tom and Jerry, though.

Are they just now getting our 50-year-old cartoons?

It's possible.

So he's catching up on the hip factor a little bit.

It's possible.

I just found that really weird kind of thing with the cat and Tom and Jerry.

Although, I will say it's a reference that everyone knows, right?

I guess.

Everybody over 40, maybe.

Yeah.

That's true.

Yeah.

He said the U.S.

has tried various political, economic, military, and propaganda undertakings to hit the Islamic Republic throughout its four decades.

The nation's top religious leader told the gathering, but all of these plots failed.

Like the famous cat in Tom and Jerry, they will lose again.

That's

weird.

They've got to start picking a fight or whatever because they've got the uprisings and some very unhappy people in their country.

And

we did not take advantage of that.

No, we didn't.

In 2009, when Obama had the chance to encourage

him to encourage everybody else.

He should have.

He could have.

We could have maybe overthrown

that oppressive government at the time.

And it doesn't seem like we're taking the opportunity this time either.

So we'll see.

Maybe we will.

But so far, it's kind of quiet about the Iranian front.

And if we would have acted on it during Obama, we would have missed the Tom and Jerry reference, though.

So it was almost worth it.

Just leave it alone so we could get that.

Yeah.

And it was, yeah.

Another big story from the UN:

the world is facing an obesity challenge.

Your thoughts on that, Jeffy?

I couldn't disagree more.

It's not a challenge, I'll tell you that.

It isn't a challenge to become obese.

It's really easy.

It's really easy.

Here's the thing, though.

You know,

if the world is getting too fat, isn't that a good thing?

Supposed to be, right?

I mean, because of capitalism, instead of starving to death, instead of distended stomachs and emaciated bodies,

people now have so much food that they're actually overweight.

That seems better to me.

The World Health Organization and the United Nations,

they run this, they slam this story down our throats a couple of times a year, at least once a year.

And then they go back to, I bet you attached somewhere in that story, and I don't have it in front of me, but I bet you somewhere in that story, they go, they link to let's all eat bugs

for health and

purposes so that people are less obese, and it's for our health purposes because

they are cramming to eat bugs.

Help them out with that and just say, No, I'm not going to ever do that.

Not going to do that.

As long as there are alternatives to eating bugs, I'm going to take them.

Really?

Yeah.

Even if it leads to diabetes, I'm still going to eat food that I like and not turn to bugs.

So you might as well not even worry about it.

I mean, it

Glenn, back, Mercury.

Pat Graham, Jeffy, Glenn,

888, 727, back.

The court that ruled in the case of the parents trying to kick their son out of their house, the 30-year-old son,

they ruled that he has to go.

He's appealing the case.

Hateful court against this young man.

This poor child, this poor 30-year-old

child.

Unable to find employment.

Who doesn't have a job.

He's struggling.

I guess he cooks his own food

and does his own laundry.

What's the problem?

These mean,

mean parents.

Yes.

You know, at the tender age of 30, want him out of their house.

How dare they?

So he was on CNN yesterday and was interviewed.

It's interesting.

The guy's got some issues.

Because it's my understanding, you've lived, you know, at your parents' house, rent-free for eight years, and I know you do your own laundry, you buy your own food, but they asked you five times,

please move out.

Why couldn't you guys resolve this without the court yeah

i would consider uh much of uh what they were doing to try to get me out as a tax and what i was trying to i was just uh you know

you were

you trying to preserve uh well trying to do what's best for me which is just you know let's try to do a little bit more reasonable

oh there you go right thanks so he stumbles over it a little bit because what he's trying to say here is i didn't want to yeah i don't want to no best for me yeah

it was easy for me to stay Leave.

I don't like living here.

Uh-huh.

But

I need reasonable time.

And

there's an example of this.

The first.

He just needs a little time.

It's only been eight years.

He's only been there since, I guess, after he graduated from college, did he?

I don't even know.

Because apparently there was a space between when they raised him and

when he came back to live at home.

Wasn't it reported that he even, I mean, he had a

wife and a kid or was it

already got a divorce, right?

Because they broke up and then she lost his child.

He lost custody.

He lost custody of the child.

Yeah.

You can't be expecting to have your own place once you lose custody of your child.

No, you can't.

The February 2nd notice was basically

you have 14 days before you're outside in the winter weather.

Well, yeah, but see what you do is you get a different place so that you're inside.

I know two weeks is like a minute and a half to this guy, but uh

so the first thing I did when I got that was I

uh

I tried to I made sure that that that wasn't going to happen.

I contacted the police department.

I said, is this something that's, you know, that this could happen?

That's embarrassing right there.

Okay, so your parents said, hey, you need to get out in about two weeks.

Okay.

So it goes to the police department.

Can this happen?

Can this happen?

Can they kick me out of their house within two weeks?

And they're like, no, you can, you just call her.

Really?

That they can't do that.

And I said, all right.

And I was like, all right.

Wait a minute.

Parents can't kick their kid out of their house.

Police can stop that.

I don't believe that.

I don't know.

I'll check that again.

Maybe that's a local law where

you could stay with your parents indefinitely.

I don't know.

Who's got maybe squatters' rights?

Wow.

That's amazing.

I'm listening to you.

I really am.

But let me just understand because I hear you on your parents giving you notices.

The fact that you were on national television talking about moving out of your parents' house, you tell me you want to move out of your parents' house.

Move out.

Why don't you just move out of your parents' house like

tomorrow?

I don't have the means to do that tomorrow.

Okay.

Do you have a job?

No.

No.

Well, here's a little helpful hand.

Maybe you cut your hair.

Now, should you have to do that?

We could debate that if you want.

Whether shoulder length or middle of the back length long hair on a man is detrimental detrimental to getting a job and whether it should be.

We all know it is, but should it be?

Well, yeah, if an employer wants you to cut your hair or want you to look a certain way,

if you're going to be interacting with customers or clients or whatever, they can tell you to do that.

I mean, if you expect an employer to treat you like you can do anything you want, go be part of the NFL.

They'll let you have a beard and long hair.

Yeah, they will.

Well, and they sure will.

And you can kneel down, and you know what?

You can continue to live in your parents' house because you'll be gone a few months through the year.

It's a good suggestion.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Apply at the NFL head office.

Thank you.

I think you can fill out an application at the nfl.com.

I could be wrong.

Yeah.

Triple eight 727 back.

Scott in Ohio.

You're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

I was just about to spy a gate with Trump.

Why is these FISA judges not having their feet held to the fire for

accepting these lame

applications for these FISA warrants?

Nobody never mentions about these judges.

If I was one of them judges, I'd be furious.

I'd call it back.

and say, hey, you can't use that no more.

I don't know if they can do that or not, but

that's my.

Yeah, I mean, we never talk about the FISA judges.

Appreciate the call, Scott.

And frankly, I don't know that much about the rules for the FISA judges because it's a special court.

It's a special thing that was set up to deal with terrorism.

And normally, when they set up special deals,

those get set up because they do the things that

the government officials like.

Exactly.

And they're normally extra-constitutional

or just outside of the Constitution a little bit.

Is that extra constitutional?

Just outside of the Constitution?

Yeah, extra constitutional.

Yes.

Gotcha.

Mark in Pennsylvania.

You're on the Glenn Beck Burger.

Hey, guys.

I just wanted to tell you about why Tom and Jerry is so popular in the Middle East.

Okay, with like the Supreme Leader, Ali Khomeini?

Exactly.

When I was over there, I learned this.

I never even dreamed of it.

But, you know, cartoons that don't have any talking in them, you know, they don't have any dialogue.

They don't need to translate them.

Right.

So those cartoons are on.

Tom and Jerry is on, like, over in Iraq.

It was on all the time on TV.

It's like all they have to watch.

That's interesting.

So to him, that's probably a very hip reference.

Right.

Right.

Which.

Thanks, Mark.

Which tells you how pathetic

that country is.

Why?

Is it like Tom and Jerry?

Wow.

It's a 78-year-old cartoon.

Hello.

Is it really 78?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, 78 years ago that came out.

Wow.

I think by the time you and I were growing up, that was already long into reruns.

Done.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn 888-727.

Back.

Let's go to Charlie in Idaho.

Hey, Charlie, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, guys.

Sorry to call you so late.

Happy Stormy Daniels Day.

Thank you.

Is it Stormy Daniels Day?

It could be.

I think it was yesterday in Hollywood.

Oh, okay.

All right.

I missed the celebration.

Yeah.

But my reason for calling is because I don't know if you guys hear me yelling at the radio constantly.

I was just telling Pat.

I wish he would shut up.

I got a pretty loud voice.

But, you know, all this stuff started back when Donald Trump became the nominee.

And people are not remembering that he was never going to become president.

Right.

This was all truthfully

Obama's revenge against Donald Trump and when Hillary became president, this was the way all these investigations and all these little plots, this was the way that Obama was going to get back at Trump and ruin his name and his empire.

It had nothing to do with delegitimizing the president because he was never going to be president.

Yeah, they didn't believe so.

Yeah.

So you believe they were spying on him so they could use something once Hillary became president?

I mean, come on, Obviously, Obama

just like Trump can't stand Obama, Obama can't stand Trump.

I think that's true.

There's no way in the world,

there's no way in the world that

all this stuff that was going on was not known by Obama, and nobody wants to call him out because he's the Messiah.

Right.

I appreciate it.

Thanks, Charlie.

That's a pretty good point.

Excellent point.

Definitely something to consider.

Danny in North Carolina, welcome.

Hello?

Hey, go ahead.

Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to comment on this 30-year-old idiot.

I ain't saying great things about me, but

in 75, I left home.

I was 15 years old.

I went down to visit my dad in South Carolina from Virginia.

And

next thing you know, I

had a job and had a little small, little one-bedroom mobile home.

I was paying rent on and going to work every day.

And

I was always always taught to work ethics and stuff.

I just can't understand today's society, how we've gotten so far.

I mean, we've had other things in, you know, like 60s and 70s idiots.

But like nowadays,

if everybody's looking for something, give me this, give me that.

Definitely.

I've worked all my life.

I mean, I've worked since I was 13 years old, and that's a fact.

And I just can't see these idiots sitting up here how foolish he looks.

And Lord, forgive me for saying that word, but he's sitting here on national TV and trying to make himself look like he's.

I don't think he cares.

He's not a grown-up.

No.

He's a punk.

Yeah.

And he's got no shame.

Thanks, Danny.

Because

you can't do this if you have any shame.

It's too embarrassing to you.

I mean, we talked yesterday.

I mean, we've all worked since we were, you know, 11, 12, 13 years old.

And it was just a thing.

You know what?

That's what you did.

And you wanted to be on your own so you didn't have the arm of of your parents telling you

when you can't go.

And obviously, he doesn't have that.

He just wants the comfort zone of the house.

Yeah.

And it still doesn't make any sense.

I mean, I would rather live in,

as proven by, you know, life, I would rather live in an apartment by myself with milk crates than have that.

Just too much entitlement, no.

He believes he's entitled to live at his parents' house.

He's probably entitled to

just sponge off his parents for the rest of his life.

I went to the police.

They can't do that, can they?

Are you kidding me?

So embarrassing.

Did the police say, look,

how old are you, kid?

Get out of here.

30.

Okay, bye-bye.

Hanging up now.

Mike in Maine.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Hey, Jeff.

Nice talking with you.

You too.

I'm glad you're feeling a lot lot better.

This 30-year-old guy,

he should do what my parents did.

Just change the locks on the house.

His parents.

Just change the locks on the house.

He's got to go

at some point go grocery shopping or

something.

Yeah.

So your dad changed the locks on your house to keep you out or what?

Yeah, pretty much.

Wow, wow.

And so it was just, you just realized, oh, okay.

So.

No, at the time, the ceilings were mutual.

I didn't want to be there, and he didn't want me back.

So

let's do it.

Apparently turned out okay, though.

You've handled it.

You dealt with it.

Hit stuff up.

Yeah.

It's all right.

It's all good.

Thanks, Mike.

This guy, though,

he claims.

that he doesn't want to be there.

He claims he'd rather be somewhere else, but he's making no effort.

Doesn't have a job.

Isn't working toward that.

Could guarantee that if they changed the locks, he'd sleep on the porch until they let him in.

Guaranteed.

Definitely.

I think so, too.

Absolutely.

Or break in.

There's no way he

break a window and get in.

That his key doesn't, you know, something was wrong with the key.

It didn't work.

You have to fix that front window.

Joe in Ohio, you're on the Glenn Beck program with that.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning.

Yeah, I wonder if Trump canceled the summit with North North Korea so that he could avoid any embarrassment if they canceled it first.

The same as when he uninvited the Baltic State Warriors to come out after their championship when they were hemming and hawing about whether or not they would go.

He just went ahead and said, Well, don't come at all.

Yeah,

it's like the Steph Curry thing.

I'm not going to go.

You're uninvited anyway.

And it might be something like that.

That's not a bad call.

And look, I kind of understand it.

I'm not slamming him for that, even if that's true.

Before the, you know, pulling out first.

Except that you would hope that it would still take place, right?

So

if that's the case, then you've got to figure that

we knew today that

Kim was going to pull out.

And they might.

Right.

They might have.

I mean, obviously, they've got more information than we do.

So maybe it was just inevitable that this was going to happen.

So he did it first.

Beat him to the punch.

And that's possible.

Yeah.

And well, he definitely would have tried to beat him to the punch.

Either way, you just got to hope that we already knew that it was a done deal.

Right.

David, in Virginia, you're on the Glenbeck program.

Hey, guys.

I'm law enforcement here in Virginia.

And

I just wanted to pass a little bit of information on.

It's kind of a sad situation.

But

in Virginia, that 30-year-old would have some legal protection.

I don't really know where this is because I'm not familiar with the story, but if

New York.

New York, yeah.

So

Virginia being a Commonwealth, it's got a little bit of a different circumstance because we're case law.

And there's case law that establishes that

if he's providing like groceries and having some of his own property and stuff like that, and he's been there for a period of time, he's established residency and the parents have allowed it.

So

as the cops here

get a call for service.

Yeah, sort of, yeah.

We'd get that call for service and we'd have to hang our heads and tell the parents that they've got to go through the eviction process on him, which, I mean, it just affords them and him a legal means to do it without getting antsy and they could just bounce him out, but they have to do it through the courts and then spend the money.

Which is what they get.

Right.

Well, and see, when we showed up, we would definitely be hanging our heads and looking at him like he's a moron.

But there would be nothing you could do.

No, nothing.

Right.

And it's aggravating his hell.

And how long do they normally have?

Do they have, I mean, to get out?

Once the eviction process starts, how long do they have?

I don't know.

Once the court rules the eviction, he has, I believe, is 72 hours to remove his stuff.

And then if it's not done, they contact the sheriff's department.

And the sheriff's department actually removes his stuff.

That's an interesting process.

That's when you drive past a house and you see people stuff in the lawns.

I had just a big stuff out there.

Yep.

Experience that.

Yeah, thanks, David.

In Texas, we have that too.

It's, I think it is a squatter slot.

And uh, in my neighborhood, we, there was, um, when we first moved into it, there was a family that everybody in the neighborhood knew about and talked about that they hadn't paid their mortgage in two years.

And they'd been, the bank was trying to get them out.

And it took them over two years to get them out.

And then finally, they got whatever judgment they needed to get.

And one day you're driving through the neighborhood, heading, heading to home and every single thing in the house was out on the lawn waiting for him two years though two years yeah two years they lived there for free and you got to believe never wound up uh making those payments no way because the bank then took uh control of it and auctioned it off uh but it was interesting to drive past that house and see you know all the furniture all the clothes absolutely everything they owned just piled up outside the sheriff's department must have come and just moved them out.

Bye-bye.

Change the locks, get out.

Right.

But I mean, but yeah, they got two years out of it for free.

Right.

You'd think that they, if they were doing that,

which

kind of goes against common sense, but if they were doing that, you'd think that they'd be smart enough to realize that time's up.

Let's not have their stuff end up out on the curb, right?

Yeah.

Unless you're prepared for it.

And then you're just going to ride that all the way till it's on the lawn then okay now we'll get a u-haul and leave i that's true i don't know that's true i mean it's pretty amazing again no shame

how do you how how do you just allow that to happen in your life i i wouldn't i couldn't deal with that chaos i couldn't deal with the uncertainty but maybe you know people who live that way are fine with it they're just they're comfortable living in that environment that would uh i'd have an ulcer i

I'd have a heart attack.

Well, but you would have a heart attack because, see, you would be actually trying to

work out where you were

doing

and where's my family going to be.

Move or whatever.

You know, they already know they're going to be here until their stuff's in the front yard.

Then they'll find maybe some other abandoned house, move into that.

Maybe that's what they did.

I don't know.

Triple 8, 727, BECK.

Wait a minute.

What?

That's all you got to do?

I think so.

I think that's about it.

Nice.

More of the Glenn Beck program coming up.

Glenn Beck.

It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

By the way, at noon Eastern, right after this show wraps up, you can join me for my own show, Pat Gray Unleashed on theBlazeradio.com, iHeartRadio app,

Blaze Radio and Television Network.

Is that just today?

That's every weekday, noon Eastern, beginning at noon.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, right.

I bet that show's, you know, not bad.

No, it's

many people,

in the words of Donald Trump, a lot of people are saying it's the greatest show ever done.

A lot of people are saying it.

I mean, you guys are.

Yeah.

Well, I'm not saying it, but a lot of guys are saying it.

You're saying it.

You've said it.

I have said it.

You know,

who am I to argue with you?

So.

And by the way, we get you to work or home or wherever you're on your way with traffic and weather together every five minutes on the fours.

That's what makes it.

That's one of the things that makes the show.

So

we do that for you as a special added service.

And no matter where your local market is,

888-727-PEC.

Let's go to Al in Florida.

Al, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi.

Good morning, gentlemen.

You know,

you were talking about the NFL folks kneeling.

Well,

when you go to church, you kneel down to honor

who you're praying to.

When you go before the queen, you kneel down because you're honoring the queen.

Even when you propose, you kneel down

to your sweetheart to propose to her.

So these folks don't get it.

What they're doing is they're kneeling down when they're actually honoring the flag.

You know, I'm a Vietnam veteran, and that hurts me so bad, I'd like to go on the field and whack them all.

But, you know, I wish somebody would tell them what they're actually doing.

Yeah.

Yeah, because, I mean, certainly they don't mean it that way.

No, and I don't.

That's a sign of disrespect.

I've heard a couple of arguments along those same lines that you just had,

and they've all poo-pooed that because it's like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

It's not what we're doing.

So I don't, you know, you're not going to do it.

Look,

they already know it's affecting

the way the fans look at them, look at their team, look at their product,

think of their product, and it doesn't matter to them.

So telling them that what they're doing is exactly opposite what they should be doing is not going to matter to them.

Yeah, definitely.

Brad in Indiana, you're on the Glendeck program.

Hey, guys, how are you doing?

Good.

Hey, I'm a 30-year-old.

I've heard a lot of parents calling in.

You know, my folks were gracious enough to allow me to live with them when I was going through the recession right out of college working for my dad.

He said it was part of a perk living in the basement, but the the day I decided to start moving, I haven't heard this option yet for this young man in, I think it's New York.

Is

walls are a little thin.

Mom and dad have been married for about 29 years, and you know, you might hear some things when you're trying to go to sleep at night.

So that was about the moment I said it's time to find a new job and get out of the house.

So I figured that was another option for everybody.

Make it as uncomfortable as I

guarantee that he would not care.

No, I don't think he would.

How old were you at the time, Brad, when you were staying with your parents?

I was about 24 when I was trying to work, find a job.

It was a rough time out there for new college grads.

But I'm away in the real world, but that was kind of a triggering moment in my head.

Like, I got to be doing something.

I understand.

But, Brad, listen, the difference is, the difference is, and I appreciate the call.

Thanks, Brad.

I appreciate it.

But the difference is, is that at no point

during that process was Brad thinking, I'm just going to stay here.

Right.

I'm just going to, yeah, I'm just

my long-term solution.

You're thinking about allowing me to live here so that I can get on my feet and get out right on my own right and you don't mind that as a parent right usually i would think

triple eight seven two seven back

glenn back

mercury

glenn back it's back ray for glenn on the glenn back program along with jeffy uh the big news that's breaking right now is that president trump has uh canceled the North Korean summit with Kim Jong-un

in Singapore.

It's too bad because, yeah, I had some serious hope for that.

Then maybe some progress could be made there.

Maybe peace could be obtained.

We wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.

I mean, I really wanted that.

Maybe you at least

agree to

officially end the Korean war.

Maybe you just start that healing process beginning on the Korean Peninsula.

That would have been nice.

Yeah, that would have been.

Would have been nice.

I don't know that.

I mean,

does South Korea even want that, really?

Oh, South Korea, I think they've wanted that for a long time.

I don't know.

We've still dumped a lot of money into that economy, and we've helped them build quite a military, but our military

is still there, and the United States presence is still there strong.

They want to lose that.

And don't get me started on the presence in South Korea.

have long been saying it's time to stay out.

Get out.

Yeah.

I know.

For a while.

And I didn't bring it up because of that, but I know you have.

But I'm not saying they don't want our presence to go.

No, I think most of them want us to stay.

Yeah.

I think that's.

That's what I mean.

I mean, maybe, maybe, you know, the

regular citizenry says get out.

Yeah.

But no way the government does.

Where I am on that stuff now is, you know, South Korea's got a powerful army.

It's like fourth and fifth biggest.

With our help.

Yeah, it's fourth or fifth biggest in the world.

Okay, well, defend your country.

We'll see you later.

It's been a good 60, 65 years, but we're done.

Yeah, we're done.

You know what?

We're even going to.

We'll catch you later.

I know we left a lot of equipment in Vietnam, but we're going to take our stuff.

Yeah, we're going to take our toys.

We're going to go home.

And I'd love it if we were less interventionist.

Yeah, I really would.

I think it's time to be able to.

We're barely anywhere.

I don't know what you're talking about, interventions.

We're barely anywhere.

We're on what?

We're on every continent.

Yeah, I don't know that we have troops stationed in Antarctica, but every other continent.

I believe we do.

We might.

Yeah, I believe we do.

We might.

I would be surprised if the answer to that was we don't.

Yeah.

Well, you never know when there's going to be a penguin uprising there.

And you want to be prepared for it.

You know, you laugh, but remember that we just found out not long ago that the penguins were like six or seven feet high.

Yeah, we did.

Some of them are

really big, yeah.

They might start being born again that big.

And if that happens, you don't want none of that.

Thank you.

You're going to wish the U.S.

military was there.

Thank you.

But it would be nice to go back to our founders' original thinking and stay out of stuff.

Yeah, there's a thought.

Stay out of it.

We could, we,

I think, could benefit a lot from that thinking right now.

And then, you know, maybe we even protect our own borders with the 37,000 troops.

Just

a thought.

I don't know.

Or maybe you just, some of those soldiers get to stay with their families for a while at a base.

That might be nice as well.

Weird.

You know, here in America and not contributing to the economy of South Korea and Japan and Germany and wherever else we are all over the world because we're everywhere.

We sure are.

We're in places that we didn't even know we were in.

And we recently found that out in Africa.

How many African countries are we in?

And in some cases, we're in skirmishes.

We're in battles.

We sure are.

And many of those were brought on during the Obama administration.

Yeah, they were.

Yes.

I mean, this is not just a Republican situation.

It's an American president situation because as Glenn has talked many times about when he met with George W.

Bush and Bush said, hey, don't worry so much about the next guy because

he'll find out what I found out.

And that's what we all have to do.

Essentially the same thing.

And that's what they do.

Essentially the same thing.

Because of the world situation and the

circumstances we've created and been a part of for so long, we just continued that.

We have to.

And that's why we've been

reluctantly surprised at the many things that President Trump has accomplished from his campaign promises, because so many of those campaign promises from very many

campaigners have fallen through the cracks

because of that very

thinking.

Yeah.

You know, they can't do it now.

Well, I really wanted to, but can't.

Wish I could.

Yeah.

Look at the time.

Let's take a big picture and get out of the oval.

And that's what we do find, at least as far when it comes to, certainly when it comes to foreign policy, they have to act pretty much the same way, and they do.

Triple 8727 back.

David Hogg.

This guy is changing the world.

You just love it, don't you?

I do not.

I would love to hear from him.

I do not.

Probably the most visible of the Parkland surviving activists.

He is calling for a die-in

at Publix supermarkets tomorrow to protest their donation

to

gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam.

Whom you know, right?

I do know.

Good guy.

You want him to win the election.

I didn't realize that he was running for governor, and I like Adam Putnam, and he would be a good governor for the state of Florida, I believe.

Well, he has a pro-gun stance that gets him a top rating from the farm.

Yeah,

he's a gun guy.

His family,

he was born in Florida.

He's a Florida boy.

They have a citrus farm in Bartow, Florida.

You really, no matter what size farm you have, when you're walking whatever fields you have, you want to

have some sort of weapon on you.

There are wild animals that

need to be

you need to be safe from.

Can't you just reason with the animals when they come to you could

you may have your own personal die-in.

Yeah, maybe you try something different.

Maybe you don't kill for a change.

Maybe you don't have a gun because the answer to

animal violence is not more violence.

Have you attempted to talk to a snake?

Well,

not for a while.

A gator?

Are you saying that's impossible?

Have you ever tried it?

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Honestly, no, I've never tried it.

So apparently, Publix Supermarkets supports Adam Putnam, and he's had all along a really high rating from the NRA.

Yeah, he's been, I mean, and Publix is a great supermarket chain in Florida and the South.

I mean,

they're really good.

And my daughter and my wife miss shopping there.

You know, when we travel to Florida, it's always like, oh, we get to go to Publix.

But Adam has been, I mean, they've supported Adam Putnam since he was in the Florida state legislature, since he was in the U.S.

Congress for 10 years.

And then he left Congress, the U.S.

Congress, and came back to Florida and became Agricultural Commissioner.

So, I mean, he's, you know, they've been behind him 100%, and they gave him the money that they gave him.

And David is upset that Publix is supporting Adam because of his gun rating.

And can you get a great idea?

David Hogg now has.

Did you see how many Twitter followers he's got?

It's easy enough to find out.

I I don't know exactly.

I don't know the number.

It's a high school kid who started out probably with what?

Yeah, 12 or 25 or 50 followers.

799,000 now.

Almost 800,000 followers.

And he was immediately terrified.

Oh, was he?

He immediately,

as soon as they started talking to him at Parkland,

he immediately got the blue check from Twitter.

So he's telling all his Twitter followers that they should do a die-in at public stores.

And if you're not in the one at Florida that he's talking about, then do it wherever you have a public.

Starting at 4 p.m.

inside the two public stores, because he's got two in his neighborhood around Parkland High School.

Go in and lie down starting at 4.

Feel free to die in with us at many other publics as possible.

You know,

and I responded to, I actually responded to his tweet, which I usually let David tweets go, but he tipped me off with this.

This is so irritating.

It'll get a lot of people on your side that are shopping for going into the holiday weekend on Friday afternoon.

Let's go ahead and clog that up.

That was good thinking.

Let's do that.

They'll be on your side then.

That's what leftists do, though.

Leftists, they don't care who's inconvenienced.

They don't care who's put out.

They don't care who's hurt.

They just want to make their statement.

They'll never forget when

janitors went on strike in Houston.

This is about 10, 12 years ago.

SEIU came down from Chicago with a bunch of their members to help out in their protests and stuff.

Oh, they didn't come down to help out to pick up garbage?

No, no, they didn't.

In fact, there was a big strike, and garbage didn't get picked up at a lot of buildings in Houston for a while.

And so what they did instead was they drove into some of the most

traffic-congested intersections and dumped garbage into the middle of the street.

That wins people over.

Oh, did we love them then?

Right.

Oh, was I on the janitor's side then?

Right.

Oh, my God.

I can't tell you how much I loved them.

I was all about the janitors for justice.

I bet you were.

When they started dumping garbage in front of me in the streets of Houston and impeding my way to work.

Or impeding anyone.

No matter where, impeding where you want to go.

That's the whole point of

the Black Lives Matter marching, marching on interstates and blocking roads, right?

It was, no, that's fine.

You're not helping your cause.

Not at all.

Not at all.

And going into public supermarkets tomorrow and laying there in the aisles and getting in the way of shoppers and their carts, that's not going to help.

No.

No,

nobody's going to like that.

And you're not going to win over anybody that way.

And David would probably pick another store, but, you know, Publix is known for being so clean, he's able to, oh, I can lay down on that horse and not get dirty.

So, I mean, it's agonizing.

It is.

It's agonizing, isn't it?

It is.

And I want Publix to double down.

I don't want them to back out.

I want them to to give Adam more money.

Yeah.

I mean, I do too.

I don't even know Adam, and I want them to give him more money

because this just pisses me off.

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

Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

Triple 8-727.

B-E-C-K.

Is our phone number?

Let's go to Staff Sergeant.

We've got a Staff Sergeant.

Staff Sergeant to who, though?

It doesn't say.

There's not enough room on the name area.

Staff Sergeant Don, did you say?

Tom.

Staff Sergeant Tom.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Yeah, hi.

I'm just going to weigh in on these

protests, the NFL, kneeling down.

I've been listening to Sports Talk Radio last few days, different national shows, and they all seem to be in support.

And, you know, they keep saying, well, you know, it's just they're protesting,

you know,

national issues.

Well, I would like to have them see it from my perspective.

I'm ex-military, and I attended three funerals at Arlington National Cemetery back in the First Gulf War for people that I knew that were lost in the cause.

And I would want to see if Colin Kaepernick attended one of those funerals and heard the national anthem played and then taps.

Could he still have the guts to kneel down if he did uh that would be totally you know disrespectful uh no matter what his cause is because when i hear the national anthem you can't help but get choked up thinking back to that time at arlington national cemetery when you watched three of your buddies yeah get buried yeah uh appreciate it thanks uh tom no kudo and thank you for your service uh

and that's a point that seems to be lost on him of course they say anytime that's brought up oh it's not about that.

We honored the military.

We're all about the military.

Yeah, but you can't see, you can't disrespect the national anthem and then say that.

Right.

Because our veterans don't buy that.

It's all that.

As you just heard.

It's all tied in.

And again,

go back to what Colin Kaepernick, the founder of this movement, what he said in the first place.

And that was that it was about the country and it was about the flag and it was about the anthem.

Yes, it is, he said.

Yes.

So

anybody who says it isn't is lying or they don't understand what the movement is about.

And we mentioned earlier, too, he's right.

The sportscasters and, you know, we talked about listening to the ESPN and the Fox Liberals.

All for it.

Yep.

I can't believe it.

It's agonizing.

I can't listen to it.

When they start into this stuff, I have to turn the channel.

How do they seek, I mean,

if sports, if NFL starts to fall a little bit more than it has, and granted, they're on a pretty sturdy mountain, so it's going to take a while.

You're not knocking them off the hill right now.

But if it starts to slip a little bit, there's not going to be the need for you sportscasters

all talking NFL 24-7 because nobody cares.

And the problem is, like you said,

that's quite a ways down the road.

I know.

Because everybody loves the NFL.

Right.

Everybody loves football.

Looks forward to football season

and the escape that we're supposed to get from it.

I'm guilty.

I'm guilty of that, except that I'm not guilty of,

I am guilty of giving up a little.

You know, I mean,

I have given up a little and I, you know, I picked and changed.

Yeah, I didn't watch it as much as I can.

I choose my games carefully.

Yeah.

And I pick and choose when I watch it, you know, because I try to miss the very beginning because I don't care.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to see it.

Right.

Right.

I don't want to hear the announcers comment on it.

I don't.

I don't want to hear their support for it.

I'll watch it with the sound down.

I'll watch it with the sound down, really.

A lot of times I do.

I'd rather watch it with the sound down.

It makes you miss the days of Pat Summero and John Madden, who never commented about political stuff.

They talked about the game.

Football, the X's and O's, the game

players about

the game.

Thank you.

Stephen in

Los Angeles or Louisiana.

Which is it?

Louisiana.

Louisiana?

Louisiana.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

Welcome.

Thank you, man.

I just wanted to touch base with you, get your opinion and your thought.

Okay.

See, my mom's on a fixed income, and I live with her now.

I'm 37 years old.

She was about to be evicted out of her house.

So I had to leave my house and everything, all my stuff, and move in with her.

You know, I have a full-time job.

I've been out the house since I was 16.

Yeah.

So I'm trying to, you know.

Big difference.

It's a tough situation.

Yeah, you're there.

No, no, no.

You're there to help your mom.

That's a completely different situation.

Yeah, that's not the kind of thing we're talking about.

Thanks for the call, Stephen.

I'm glad you brought that up.

I know.

We mentioned yesterday there's exceptions to all these rules, and you're one of the exceptions.

If you're there to take care of your mom or your parents, a completely different situation than a 30-year-old guy who's just there sponging off, a totally healthy 30-year-old sponging off his parents.

It is understandable that from time to time, where instead of the parent moving in with you, you would move in with them because they're comfortable and they're at their place and that's their place and you're going to take care of them.

Why exactly are you saying it like that?

Like it's

something you're irritated with.

That's what it happens.

Bad.

What do you mean?

What's happened?

If it doesn't happen, then what happens is that they move in with you.

And it moves in.

Has someone moved in with you?

You got to take care of them and you give them their own space, but then they want want a different space.

It can't be upstairs because you can't walk the stairs.

You got to be downstairs.

You got to give them the room.

Pretty specific.

I just do it off the top of my head.

Really?

Yeah, it's off the top of my head.

So you're not talking about any specific circumstance.

You're just...

I know, just people.

Sometimes it happens to be a speaker.

Generally speaking.

What are you going to do?

Say no and kick them out on the street?

No, probably.

No, you can't do that.

No, you can't do that.

Can't do that.

Can't do that.

Let's say you had a lot of

fun.

How long a period of time are you generally speaking of?

Let's say these parents had more than one child, and

only the one child is worthy of

them to take care of them

because of her husband and

stuff like that.

Again, this sounds kind of specific.

No, I just think it's just off the top of my head.

Now, how long would this situation have been going on in general?

I mean, generally speaking, what?

Eight, nine years.

Something like that.

Yeah, but I mean, again, it's just hypothetical that you're just throwing out there.

It wouldn't be good, though.

The good thing is, is like if you were to move, say, to another state and you had a place to stay in the state you were moving from, instead of getting rid of that place, you'd just, you know, they'd just stay there.

Why wouldn't they?

Why would they do that?

But they wouldn't, right, in this particular scenario.

In this scenario, they would.

That's interesting.

It sounds really,

very specific for a generalized circumstance that you're just going to do.

But it does happen.

It does happen.

It does happen.

And you have to, those are the issues that you have to deal with, and that's part of life.

I get it.

But this guy, the 30-year-old, the specific guy that we're talking about, and others that we heard about yesterday,

there's something missing in the psyche of wanting to be an individual living in America out on your own.

Being independent.

Yes.

When you're a 30-year-old man,

something's a little off there.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

With Pat and Jeffy this week.

Nancy Pelosi was speaking about,

well, I'm not really sure what her question was speaking about, frankly.

She did get the question asked.

Yeah,

there was a specific answer that was supposed to be answered.

Right.

But she was speaking initially, well, she was asked about the age of some of these elected officials.

And

here's kind of

what it turned into.

Isn't it time for some members to return to private service and to encourage younger folks to run for office?

Yeah.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Should I take that personally?

Yes.

Yes, Nancy, you should.

Yes, you should.

You should take that incredibly personally.

And get out!

Get out!

Let me say this,

two things.

First of all, what I said earlier about money in politics.

If you reduce the role of money in politics and increase the level of civility in politics, you will elect more women, more young people, more people of color to elective office.

And nothing is more wholesome than that.

Okay, so nothing is more wholesome than electing people of color, women,

and young people.

I guess it's not wholesome to elect people with experience.

That's not wholesome.

That's not.

The fact is that Congress has a seniority system, so people in different regions want to make sure that the people who represent them are in a senior position to help express their views,

the concerns of their region.

But I'll take it personally and say that as a woman who came to Congress later because I raised my five children before I decided that to accept the opportunity to run for Congress.

So lots of times women are a bit older because they have been raising their children.

Now I'm happy because lots of young people, young women are running with young children and we're trying to make it as family friendly as possible.

But I don't think, for me, I don't think age has that much to do with it.

I think it's about, and especially as a woman,

I want women to know that whether they're going from college to Congress, well, they can't really do that, but 25 years old to Congress, or in my case, from the kitchen to Congress after my kids were grown, that whatever you're bringing it's new and fresh and different because you're a woman and that is with all the respect in the world for our male colleagues but the important thing is to have the mix at the table at the table so

I think that

again at the table at the table

the whole I said to you earlier the whole environment is changing

these young people are registering kids 17 years old who are not even quite old enough to vote but will be by the time of the election sure women march and now they're running and now they're running and now they're running and so there's a whole

people say to me how are you going to use all that talent

at the table and now they're running now they're running at the table

at the table and now they're running

how are they going to use us

how are we going to incorporate their fresh enthusiasm i've never seen mobilization like it and everybody has to justify their existence to their constituents and that's the democratic way but uh again,

answer the question, though.

Some members come to Congress older, and they're newer.

Some people have been there 20 years and they're younger, but they just got a younger start.

So, anyway, that is all to say.

We want to take the talent, the experience, the values where they are.

So,

that's all to say that I've been rambling for three minutes and saying absolutely nothing, except for the fact that I've got no intention of ever getting out of office.

No way.

I'm going to die in this office.

I'm 78 years old, and I'm continuing to babble on endlessly about how, no, I've got no intention of ever stopping.

And there are, no, term limits?

Uh-uh.

Do I want a young person to take my job?

No.

No.

And by the way, she may have gotten a late start

after her children

were raised.

She's still been there for a thousand years.

Not a chance Nancy Pelosi came from the kitchen to Congress the way she means it.

No.

Not a chance.

I'm sorry.

I don't buy it.

And she came later in life.

She has,

I mean, it seems like she's always

been in office.

It sure does.

So, I mean, does it say later in life, is that 30?

Is that 35?

If she had five kids,

you know, she's probably started at what?

14.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know either.

but she's been

a representative since 1987.

Oh, yes.

I mean, look at this.

Yeah, she came in later in life.

Later in this was from the kitchen.

You know, from the kitchen to Congress.

After her kids were born.

After her kids were completely raised.

I had five kids.

I had five kids I had to take care of.

Wow.

That's

again.

The rambling, the repetition of phrases and words.

I mean, she did brain free money.

She did sound that she could have possibly been fully medicated last night.

So everything was, I mean, that's about as coherent as she sounded in quite some time.

And that wasn't much.

No, I mean, she's just rambling.

Yeah.

888727 back.

Let's go to Garrett.

Garrett, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi.

Hey, how's it going?

It's nice to talk to you guys this morning.

You too.

Okay, so basically, I just wanted to address the whole, you know, the Parklands, you know, David Hogg type situation and and kind of tie it together with some of the other left-wing pushes that are out there.

In the past, I know that Glenn has denounced the Bundy Ranch protesters for protesting idiotically the idiotic behaviors of the BLM.

But what is the flashpoint?

Because right now we do have

congressional representatives openly advocating for gun confiscations and buybacks with quote-unquote assault weapons.

We've got former Supreme Court justices arguing for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

The left always has that point where they're willing to use violence.

And they have.

In the Civil War, once Abraham Lincoln was elected, they attacked Fort Sumter, and that triggered it.

That was our tipping point where we stepped in and said, all right, slavery is going by by now, and we're going to do it by force.

I mean, with all of the rights that are being violated right now, I mean, it's...

you know, look at Planned Parenthood.

That's Jim Crow.

That's a eugenicist agenda that is being carried out to the tune of tens of millions of lives lost.

And so, I mean, I understand that it's never good to advocate for violence, but in your opinion, is there ever a point at which we use the Second Amendment for what it's designed for?

Is there ever a point?

I mean, it's a thanks for the call, Garrett.

It's a hard question.

It sure is.

The answer is obviously yes.

There is a point.

We're not there.

Not even close to that.

No.

And what we forget about with our founders is that it took them a long time to get to that point as well.

They didn't jump immediately to that point and take up arms against Britain.

It took a long time and a lot of grievances.

Many do forget that, including myself.

I mean, that's something you don't think about often, and it took them a long time to get there.

And it should take us longer because they were doing it all without representation.

We have representation.

So there's another big difference between us and the founders.

We're supposed to handle this through our representation.

And when they don't handle it the way we want, we get new representation.

It's our fault that we haven't done that.

It's our fault that we never do that.

And it's our fault that we keep electing the same morons we've elected for 30 or 40 or 50 years.

I mean, that's the term limit argument as well.

Yeah.

I'd love to see term limits, though.

Love to see that happen.

I think there's a couple of different things that could save this country.

One of them is term limits.

And the other is get people out of Washington, put them in their district, and legislate from your district.

I could not agree more on that.

No more meeting at the Capitol building in Washington.

You have to stay and conduct all business of Congress in your district online.

That's how you connect with the rest of Congress online.

I mean, I'm even willing to give them a week a year in general.

Sure,

you could arrange something like that once or twice a year, whatever.

But most of the time,

you're right there with your constituents.

You're and you face them all the time.

You don't worry about them.

You're not facing the lobbyists.

You're facing your constituents who put you there.

And you're not wheeling and dealing with Mitchell for three hours.

That is the, I think that's the most effective change we could make.

Get them home, put them in their district.

That's where you do your legislating.

That'd be, I mean, I think that fixes a lot of ills.

Ken in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck broker.

Hey.

I'll get right to my point.

You had nailed it on the head earlier talking about that kid living with his parents.

A lot of that comes back to we've now had an entire generation, almost two, that literally were raised with no shame.

That's a big part of it.

That is one of the flaws.

The others are things like no moral compass, no personal responsibility, and no coping mechanisms.

And a lot of the problems, school shootings, that guy living with his parents, the NFL protests, a lot of you can trace back to one of those things because basically people are being raised and they don't have any sense of right or wrong or values or that they themselves are in the wrong.

It's always somebody else's fault.

Yep.

And they were raised because of like participation trophies and everything.

They have no means to deal with it.

Not that I'm an advocate of bullying or anything, but still it kind of teaches you that life lesson that you had to deal with it, buck up and you know, move on.

But now they can't do it that anymore.

And we end up with things like the shootings.

I think that's a big part of it.

I really do.

Thanks, Ken.

Keith in Texas, welcome to the Glimpse program.

Hey, thanks.

Thank you, Saul.

Right to the point, you got a unit, 30-year-old Snowflake that has a kid, buys his own groceries, gets a lawyer, and does not have a job.

Where does he get the money?

Good question.

Probably from his parents.

Yeah.

Thanks, Keith.

I bet he gets his money for his lawyer from his parents.

I bet he does, too.

So pathetic.

So sad.

Triple 8727BECK.

Wow, this is some breaking news.

Morgan Freeman is now being accused of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior by eight women.

Is there nothing sacred?

Apparently not.

Apparently not.

Morgan Freeman is a big fish.

Right?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, mean,

I know Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby and what's his face, Kevin Spacey.

Right?

Yep.

But Freeman's a big fish, man.

Yeah, he is.

That guy's got a lot of money.

He's a big star.

He's absolutely, absolutely revered by the Hollywood Project.

They love him.

I don't know of anyone that doesn't like him.

Young production assistant thought she had landed the job of her dreams when, in the summer of 2015, she started working on Going in Style, Bank Heist comedy starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Cain, and Ellen Arkham.

Oh, watch it.

It was cute.

You liked it?

Yeah.

But the job quickly devolved into several months of harassment, she told CNN.

She alleges that Freeman

subjected her to unwanted touching and comments about her figure and clothing on a near-daily basis.

Freeman would rest his hand on her lower back or rub her lower back.

In one incident, she said, Freeman kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear.

He never successfully lifted her skirt.

She said, He would touch it and try to lift it.

She would move away and then he'd try again.

Eventually, she said,

Alan made a comment telling him to stop.

Morgan got freaked out, didn't know what to say,

and so on.

So it stopped.

It stopped.

Yeah, but.

So.

So what?

It's okay to try to lift up a woman's skirt.

No.

No.

But as soon as whatever was happening was happening that she wanted to stop, when they said stop, he stopped.

No, because she moved away and then he tried to.

Why didn't she just say stop doing it?

I don't know.

They never do.

It seems like.

It seems like they can't.

I don't think Morgan's married, right?

I don't know.

I mean, they made a big deal that he lives with his granddaughter or something or his niece or

some.

I got to look it up now.

I don't think he's married.

I'm not sure.

But anyway, but the point is, is that now, granted, I'm not saying that it's okay to lift up the girl's dress anytime you want, but I'm just saying that at that point, this story evolved into she felt uncomfortable when someone confronted him about it, it stopped.

I guess so.

Yeah, so you're saying what?

It's fine.

It's fine.

Is that what you're saying?

Mr.

Dirtbag?

It's not fine.

On the set of Now You See Me in 2012,

some of the production staff said he did comment on our bodies.

We knew that if he was coming by not to wear any top that would show our breasts, nor to wear anything that would show our bottoms, meaning not wearing clothes that were fitted, she said.

At 80 years old, Freeman is one of, as we've mentioned, Hollywood's biggest stars.

His movie career spans decades, Driving Miss Daisy, Shawshank Redemption.

I mean, Million Dollar Baby.

Look at the list of that.

I mean, this is unbelievable.

Yeah, he's done a lot of stuff.

Apparently, 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman as part of the investigation, eight of whom said they were victims of what some called harassment, others called inappropriate behavior by him.

So it sounds like he says things to women like, hey, a nice whatever, like that.

And

they don't like it.

So

do you ask him to stop?

And if you ask him to stop and he does,

maybe that takes care of it.

I know that's kind of what you're saying, right?

Yes.

It's like if, you know,

if you don't know it's not acceptable,

then how do you know to stop?

Right?

You've got to be told: look, I don't want to hear that from you, 80-year-old man.

Stop.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.
