'World's Strongest Woman' Stripped of Title ... Because He Is a Man | 11/26/25

Speaker 1 Back pain. Who needs back pain? I don't think anyone is required to have it.
Well, at least they'd like to believe that. And Chirp is trying to do something about this.

Speaker 1 They design their products to provide like real targeted relief. This is the Chirp Contour, a three-in-one device that handles decompression and massage and heat therapy.

Speaker 1 And it's shaped to follow the natural curve of your spine. So you're supported in exactly the right spots.
You choose the pressure and it saves your settings automatically.

Speaker 1 So every session starts starts where you want it. For stubborn knots in your back, you've got the chirp halo.
It steps in to give you wearable magnetic attachments that click into place and stay put.

Speaker 1 So the relief goes straight to the source instead of kind of wandering around. And everything runs through the chirp app, which keeps each routine intuitive and consistent.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 1 What did patents do today for Glenn?

Speaker 1 Let's

Speaker 1 talk about the Ukrainian peace deal. Get into that a little bit, and at least what we know of it so far.

Speaker 1 Coming up in one minute. Yeah, because we have some new information from even just yesterday.
Yeah, the story is developing pretty fast. Let me tell you about Burna.

Speaker 1 Most people want protection that they can carry confidently, and Burna just made it easier with the compact launcher. This is the smallest launcher they've ever made.

Speaker 1 It's the thickness of about two smartphones, which makes it genuinely easy to conceal carry and comfortable to keep you

Speaker 1 really

Speaker 1 keep you safe and keep it right on you wherever you go.

Speaker 1 It fires at 400 feet per second, so this is not like some wimpy device. The compact launcher is proudly American with more than 80% of its components sourced right here in the U.S.

Speaker 1 and every pistol hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We love Fort Wayne.

Speaker 1 According to FBI data, less than 0.01% of altercations require a lethal response, which is why having reliable non-lethal options make the world a much better place.

Speaker 1 And it is more important than people realize. The Burna launcher uses powerful deterrents.

Speaker 1 like tear gas and kinetic rounds with 60-foot range and a single shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Speaker 1 It's trusted by more than 500 government agencies, police departments, and private security firms and it is legal in all 50 states. The Burna Black Friday sale ends today.
Get 15% off site-wide.

Speaker 1 Go to burna.com/slash glenn, find the right launcher for you. It's 15% off at burna.com, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

Speaker 1 What if we tried Burna on some of those boats that are coming from Venezuela? Would that work? I think they'd prefer

Speaker 1 the non-lethal.

Speaker 1 I think they would. Yeah, I think they would.
They probably would on that one.

Speaker 1 So the peace situation in Ukraine, we do have a little more information. We didn't know a lot about it yesterday.
Yep. Everything's fine.

Speaker 1 It's solved.

Speaker 1 It's all done. In fact, world peace has been achieved in the last 24 hours.
So congratulations

Speaker 1 to everyone involved. Yeah.
So no matter where you go, peace reigns on this planet. Yes.
It's great. It's really good.
It's It's a surprising beginning to your Thanksgiving weekend.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, there are some pretty big developments.

Speaker 1 First of all, I feel like we were totally misled by the reporting, as I've said here now for the 10,000th time since I began this program back in the day.

Speaker 1 But the initial reporting, and we talked about this yesterday, we had no idea what was actually in this peace deal.

Speaker 1 Everyone was talking about it, and we were very suspicious about the way the story was being told even yesterday. And

Speaker 1 I think our suspicion was well placed. Because what we learn over the past 24 hours is this all started with the Trump administration essentially trying to replicate their success with Gaza, right?

Speaker 1 They decided they were like, what if we kind of go back at this and take the same approach we took with Israel and Gaza and see if we can hammer this thing out this way?

Speaker 1 It started with, you know, Witkoff and Kushner, and they go to Russia and get what Russia wants, right? They start with Russia, they go to Russia, same way they started with Israel.

Speaker 1 They went to Israel and they said, okay, well, you're, you know, you would say maybe the upper hand.

Speaker 1 They went to that country first and said, hey, what do you want out of this? What can you accept? What are your red lines? Where can we draw these lines? Give me some points.

Speaker 1 They get the points, which seemingly are that 28-page or or 28-point

Speaker 1 one-pager that kind of goes through everything. So then they go back to Ukraine, which is, I don't know, only like a week ago,

Speaker 1 and they start getting their points. What it seems like now is that what we viewed as this 28-point plan that seemed to really favor Russia

Speaker 1 did really favor Russia because it was their plan, right? Like it was the Russian plan, and it was leaked before we got a final version of this with a lot of Ukraine's input.

Speaker 1 Now, that is a massive change as to what we were initially told.

Speaker 1 And it makes a lot more sense. We talked about this yesterday.
If you're a Ukraine, really, you're going to agree to this? It seems like it's

Speaker 1 aggressively against you. Well, it was.
It was Russia's wish list, basically. It's like you can have Kharkiv.
We get the rest of the country. Right.

Speaker 1 That kind of thing. And not the entire,

Speaker 1 not all of it. You get that one kind of thing.

Speaker 1 There's a shoe store in kharkiv that you guys can have have that's yours now you can't have the shoes inside we're gonna take the shoes no but you can live inside the shoe store or at least and by the way we also hit it with a drone last night but you you can have what's left of that building right that proposal from russia was not approved by huh uh ukraine weird um and so and we did say yesterday this sounds pretty bad for ukraine yes and it was and it was because it wasn't the final deal yeah now there there's more to this, of course.

Speaker 1 The big issue being that,

Speaker 1 yeah, Ukraine might agree to something with some changes. The problem is, once they start changing it, does Russia agree?

Speaker 1 And that's where I think we're going to run into a big

Speaker 1 issue here. I don't think Russia is going to agree to any of the changes Ukraine wants.
And Ukraine's in a tough spot right now because they are kind of embroiled in a corruption scandal.

Speaker 1 I know this is going to shock you, Pat. It does.
Yeah. Wait, what? Yeah, I know.
Because Zelensky came in with an anti-corruption platform.

Speaker 1 Not the president Volodymyr Zelensky, who played a piano with his noodle once. Not that guy.
He's not in it, right?

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 his noodle.

Speaker 1 Is that the technical? That's a technical term. Medical term.
It's a scientific term, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 You have to excuse me. I did not go to medical school, so I did not know that was the.
That's understandable. Yeah, no.
So he played.

Speaker 1 So I don't know how much the noodle playing of the piano made its way into the corruption scandal or the negotiations here,

Speaker 1 but he

Speaker 1 apparently did that. And then in addition to that, he also had a good buddy who

Speaker 1 reportedly, allegedly, was bilking the government for nine figures. So that tends to get in the way.
Nine figures. Okay, you think seven is a million, eight is tens of millions.

Speaker 1 So over a hundred million dollars. Yeah, that was the $100 million was at least the grand scope of the entire scheme.
Now, of course, obviously there's lots of denials here.

Speaker 1 Would that surprise you, though? That would not surprise me.

Speaker 1 Look, I think there's a ⁇ I'm not anti-Ukraine. No, I'm not.
I'm really not. I think there's...
I'm just anti-funding this forever. That's all.
I'm anti-funding this forever. But

Speaker 1 I want them to continue to be a sovereign nation, not ruled by Russia. Exactly.
And I'd rather have Ukraine's in the world than I'd have Russia's in the world. Sure.

Speaker 1 That's, you know, you might not agree with that, but that's definitely how I feel on this. And that being said, Ukraine, very well known for its corruption problem.

Speaker 1 This goes back to... It was one of the most corrupt.
I mean,

Speaker 1 before all this began, they were known as one of the most corrupt governments on earth. Now, at some point, it switched to, if you pointed that out, you were a pro-Russian.
He loves Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 1 Which it's not. I'm practically in love with him.
But you go back, this is not only what they're saying now, what Trump has said.

Speaker 1 there's a Biden scandal related to this. It goes back to the Obama administration.
This has been going on for a very long time.

Speaker 1 And so it's not surprising at all that they would have a corruption scandal.

Speaker 1 The reason why Zelensky is in office is because he stepped in and said, I will stop the corruption, which indicates there was corruption. Now,

Speaker 1 a little bit.

Speaker 1 It does seem that at the very least, he was unable to stop that, or as some would accuse him, of being maybe

Speaker 1 more friendly to it when his buddies are the ones involved. Now, of course, he would deny this.
The

Speaker 1 accusation here and the difficulties that

Speaker 1 they're dealing with around that accusation has put

Speaker 1 Vazelensky in a very weak position. And so this is a time where Russia is saying, well, let's go.
I'm not giving up anything. This guy barely can stay in office right now.

Speaker 1 Like, we're not giving up anything. Not to mention that obviously they have a long-term

Speaker 1 favorability when it comes to just force. They've got a lot more people.
They've got a lot more weapons. They've got, obviously, nuclear weapons.

Speaker 1 And Ukraine is very dependent on us and Europe to even hold the lines that we have. But all this being said, goes back to it was not a giveaway to Russia, as was initially reported.

Speaker 1 At least that's how it seems today. Will they change all the reporting tomorrow? They might.

Speaker 1 But what we kind of know now is, hey, it looks like, yeah, it was sort of a plan that was designed by Russia because it was the first step in a process that they already executed successfully in Gaza,

Speaker 1 where they went to Israel and then they had back channel dealings with Hamas to get their red lines and wish lists.

Speaker 1 And then they combined them, came up with compromises, went back and forth, presented this final deal. That was the plan here.
And somebody leaked the Russian part of this.

Speaker 1 Now, that's an interesting part of this whole conversation, Pat. Who leaked it? How did it leak? What was the intention of that leak? Because that leak seems to have blown up the peace process.

Speaker 1 That's kind of a big deal.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Somebody who didn't want this to be solved

Speaker 1 leaked all this stuff. At least that's the accusation.
Now it's basically blown up. Right?

Speaker 1 Because, and we don't really have all the specifics of whatever it was that was agreed upon by Ukraine, supposedly, right? Because

Speaker 1 they manipulated all the stuff that

Speaker 1 they got from Russia, and it's not the same deal. But mostly what we reported yesterday was most of what Russia wanted.
And so we were just assuming that it was a lot of the 28-point plan.

Speaker 1 But I don't think that any of it's been released. Yeah, like, well, like one of the one of the bits and pieces have been at least reported.
Again, you're depending on reporting, and that's always

Speaker 1 difficult. But

Speaker 1 one of the issues was

Speaker 1 Russia wanted the Ukrainian military to drop down to I believe it was 600,000 troops and

Speaker 1 Ukraine is basically like no we're going to keep it the same

Speaker 1 We're not going to drop it at all. Now that's a so they didn't even agree to the 800,000 we talked about yesterday?

Speaker 1 There's been talk about that but

Speaker 1 the latest that I heard was that they didn't want any reduction at all. Now maybe that the final final position was they came in between and said 800,000.
Maybe that's what we'll we'll find out.

Speaker 1 But the bottom line is they did push back on that. Yesterday we were saying, like, how could they accept that? How could they? Well, they didn't.

Speaker 1 Apparently they didn't.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I don't think Ukraine sees themselves as

Speaker 1 this is over for them. Like, I don't think that they feel they have to just accept anything.
I don't feel like they're that much on their heels. However,

Speaker 1 the suspicion is behind the scenes, we're saying, look, this is not the Biden plan.

Speaker 1 This is as much as you want whenever you want for as long as you want i'm sorry we can't do that forever so you better even if it sucks for you you better figure out a way to get out of this so that at some point if we have to stop uh supporting you uh

Speaker 1 you aren't in a position where you just have to surrender yeah it's not a blank check anymore right it can't be it can't it can't even be for us we don't even have the stuff for ourselves to to to fund a war and to support a war that goes on forever.

Speaker 1 There are rumors that our weapon supply is really compromised now because of everything we've given to him. I'm sure it is.

Speaker 1 And so you can't have that. I mean, there's other things brewing all over the world, and we can't be depleted like that.

Speaker 1 You can't allow it. I mean, there's something bubbling over in Japan right now.

Speaker 1 Xi Jinping just called President Trump with what's going on with the Japanese because Japan has said they're taking a strong stand for Taiwan and saying that

Speaker 1 Taiwan's security is Japan's security. And so Xi Jinping got on the phone with President Trump and said, Do you want to talk him down from that position, please?

Speaker 1 I mean, things are a little bit iffy right now. We're kind of on a knife's edge here with several situations.
And

Speaker 1 the thought process is that China has

Speaker 1 almost decided that they're going to take Taiwan next year. That's what, or in 2027, one of the two.
A lot of people believe that they've set a date for it and it's coming in the next year or two. So

Speaker 1 that could be ugly. It could be ugly.
Now, we don't have an actual military agreement with the Taiwanese.

Speaker 1 We will give them support, but we don't have an agreement like we did prior to the 70s where if they were attacked, that we would help them militarily. That's not a thing.

Speaker 1 And I think a lot of people believe it is. Yeah, I kind of.
Yeah, it's not. What is the distinction there? Because we certainly talk about it.
It's something like

Speaker 1 a support. Like, we'll give you a.

Speaker 1 We got you guys. Yeah.
Yeah, no, no, just you. Yeah, we'll help you move.

Speaker 1 Just give us a call, you know? Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, are we going to be there moving furniture? No, no, no, No. No, no.
No, we're not. Just give us a call and, you know, like, we'll.
We'll give you moral support. Yay, you guys are great.

Speaker 1 You can do this. You got this.

Speaker 1 Honestly, that's probably the reality with a lot of these agreements. Even the ones that are in writing, at the end of the day, if there's a massive, even NATO, you wonder.

Speaker 1 I know. How does that hold up in a real situation? Like, if we, you know, we,

Speaker 1 we, was it Finland was the most recent edition or was it probably or Norway? I can't remember. It was one of those.

Speaker 1 It was one of those countries. I think it was Finland, wasn't it? Anyway,

Speaker 1 we were like, wow, you're in NATO now. Congratulations.
You've been in for six months.

Speaker 1 If Russia invades Finland, what are we really doing? Now, I don't know. It might be a call for moral support.
I'm concerned about it. Certainly, we would help with weapons.

Speaker 1 Certainly it would help in many ways. But I do wonder how,

Speaker 1 in a real world situation, how how NATO performs in that world. Like, do we really, do all these countries really go in and start attacking Russia? I think it's like with a 401k.

Speaker 1 We'll wait till they're fully vested in NATO. Okay.
Yeah. It's like

Speaker 1 a 15-year process. Yeah.
You don't get it. Do they know that? I don't think they know that.
They do now.

Speaker 1 They do now. We're sorry.
Yeah. By the way, we're sorry.

Speaker 1 What is vested for you is slingshots. We're going to send you a bunch of slingshots.
Good luck. All right.

Speaker 1 Pat and Stu for Glenn today. So how far would you go for,

Speaker 1 let's say, a NATO company or country?

Speaker 1 For Finland, for instance? I mean, if Russia does, in fact, ever, and I don't expect them to anytime soon, but if they did invade Finland, would you want to

Speaker 1 commit military to that effort? Would you want to put boots on the ground in Finland?

Speaker 1 I don't know that I'm quite there. Because, I mean, that's

Speaker 1 love Finland. My son served a mission there for two years.

Speaker 1 But do I want to defend them with military?

Speaker 1 Am I mistaken or is Kexi?

Speaker 1 It is Finnish.

Speaker 1 It is for cookie. Yes, it is.

Speaker 1 You named your company.

Speaker 1 the Finnish word for cookie, and you're not going to step in.

Speaker 1 You bastard.

Speaker 1 Bless your hearts. Your Finnish sales are going down.

Speaker 1 Love your legs, Rich.

Speaker 1 Love your legs.

Speaker 1 I think, look, first of all, NATO has no value if we don't.

Speaker 1 If the official position is not that we would just go in and help.

Speaker 1 What's the point of it if we don't say that? With boots on the ground. I'm saying something totally totally different as a talk show host,

Speaker 1 a guy sitting in Texas. But I mean, what are people committed to, though, as far as NATO is concerned? I mean,

Speaker 1 Poland, Finland, all this stuff. Yeah.
Czech Republic? I don't know. Good luck, everybody.
Right. I wonder if things really go.

Speaker 1 You know, I think there's a good argument to be made that we would be very involved. I just don't know how involved we would be.

Speaker 1 And I think when you go outside of the walls of NATO, when you get outside of that concept, when you're in, you're talking about a Taiwan, I just, I'm sure we'd be supportive.

Speaker 1 I'm sure we'd send weapons. I'm sure we would support in some way.
Monetary support, weapons support. Yeah, I would be surprised if we didn't.

Speaker 1 And we don't want it to fall. I mean, what is it? 85% of the computer chips in the world are made there? Yeah.
And there's always this talk.

Speaker 1 If this does happen, do we just go in and bomb these chip factories so that China can't get anything out of it? Like, they don't get the advantage. Now, I don't know.

Speaker 1 That seems to me to be more like a plot line of a movie or like it's almost like Fantasy League National Foreign Affairs. James Patterson notes.
Yeah, it does kind of seem like that, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 A lot of that stuff

Speaker 1 is real. It's based on real things, real plans.

Speaker 1 So I don't know that we would do that. And I wonder, you know, NATO at one time, I think, was strong enough to support every, you know, countries really being like, no, we're going in there.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 If Russia got on the march, though,

Speaker 1 there very well might be be a change in attitude on that. People realizing, wait a minute, you know, this is like a Germany back in the day.
We better do something about this.

Speaker 1 Again, we're talking about a scenario where they are invading multiple countries in Europe. Like Europe certainly, I think, would step in because they would say, this is coming to us.

Speaker 1 They're not like, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's been the argument. That's probably enough.
That's been the argument with Ukraine. And I think it's, I do think, by the way, this is a real concern for Russia, especially for Europe.

Speaker 1 I would be concerned about it in Europe. I would be like, wait, what are they doing?

Speaker 1 You know, you pointed out yesterday they have some arguments going back many years that have some validity to them when it comes to promises made to Russia in the post-Soviet era that were not kept up by the West.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 there are sides to this.

Speaker 1 But the key thing is that Ukraine is not in NATO. And so we were able to say, no, we're done.
We'll send them some weapons or whatever. Good luck, guys.
You know, that's the way it works.

Speaker 1 It gets into NATO territory. It could be a totally different story.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 Pat and Stuffer Glenn, this week, triple eight, 727, B-E-C-K.

Speaker 1 You know, it's not just New York where they're trying the government-run grocery stores. They're doing this in Atlanta now, too.
Oh, great. Yeah.
Let's expand that idea. It's a great idea.

Speaker 1 You know, communism, why hasn't anybody done it right yet? They've never done it right. They've never done it right.

Speaker 1 If it's just done right, it's an incredibly wonderful system. It would work perfectly if it worked perfectly.

Speaker 1 Right. Right? Exactly.
Right. They never talk about that.

Speaker 1 They don't. They don't.
And the right person just hasn't done it yet. Yeah.
But obviously, Zaran Mamnani is the right person

Speaker 1 for that job. Yeah, I think when you're looking to implement a massive

Speaker 1 overhaul of the world's financial capital, what you want to do is get some completely unaccomplished guy who just came here from Uganda and just kind of like throw him into the job.

Speaker 1 You know, a lot of, I think part of it is, you know, sometimes people learn too much, they understand the world a little too well, and then they get these jobs and they don't know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 Right. You got to throw in a guy who's never accomplished a thing in his entire life, except rap about how bad Jews are.
You need that guy to step in. And that's kind of good rap, too.

Speaker 1 I mean. Now, again,

Speaker 1 I'm not a rap aficionado like you are.

Speaker 1 When I think of Pat Gray.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 1 When you think of

Speaker 1 who would be the expert in the world of rap, you say Pat Gray. A lot of people would say that.
A lot of people do say that. A lot of people don't.

Speaker 1 Online, especially.

Speaker 1 That's true. Yeah.
Like I see a lot of those articles where one commenter said, Pat Gray really knows his rap.

Speaker 1 I love articles like that. Yeah, me too.
Me too.

Speaker 1 So they're going to try this in Atlanta as well. When the Azalea Fresh Market opened this summer, it became the only supermarket to operate in the city's downtown area in two decades.

Speaker 1 To make that happen, the city contributed $8 million in cash, grants, and loans.

Speaker 1 So what it got great. Walk me through this.

Speaker 1 Because I used to do a series on my previous show for Blaze TV called The Wonderful World of Stew.

Speaker 1 And it was a series called Deserted. And it was an investigation of food deserts across America.

Speaker 1 And what I found in all of the food deserts that I went to, these are areas that supposedly had no opportunity to buy groceries. All of them had plenty of opportunity to buy groceries.

Speaker 1 It was just a lie. Like, I would go to places that were literally claimed by

Speaker 1 the federal government to be food deserts and find three grocery stores within four blocks of each other.

Speaker 1 Right? Like grocery stores, some of them small, some of them large, some of them, you know, inside a Walmart. So there was other things inside.
Like, I don't know what line they'd come up with.

Speaker 1 They'd be like, well, this doesn't count because it doesn't have X, Y, or Z product. It only has 9,000 other products.

Speaker 1 It was hard to even determine. It had to be fresh food, right? Right.

Speaker 1 It couldn't be a fast food joint, for instance. Right.
And what, and I don't, there are almost always restaurants. So you could always go and buy things, but they're talking about grocery stores.

Speaker 1 So we kind of kept that. You could get produce, couldn't you? At most.

Speaker 1 Every single one of them. Food deserts.
Every single one of them that we've,

Speaker 1 maybe we did eight episodes or something like that of that series. And they all featured fresh produce.
Well, what started it was I looked at, this is a serious thing.

Speaker 1 I looked at the list of food deserts, and

Speaker 1 we live in an area that's, I think, nice.

Speaker 1 Like it's Dallas, Texas lots of nice suburbs We are working in you know in a city called Irving that has a lot of stuff going on like a lot of stuff in it in between you know you know you know around the airport There's a bunch of big you know kind of suburbs and large areas, but like there's stuff kind of everywhere like one of the reasons why I like living down here is everywhere you go you can pretty much get anything you want it's very easy.

Speaker 1 I lived in Connecticut. I grew up in Connecticut and you know there's a there's plenty of stuff there too.

Speaker 1 But like a lot of times it was 15 minute drives to go to grocery stores because, you know, there was maybe a more rural area. Here there is very, very

Speaker 1 available food and kind of everything you want. So I go one of the places that we go to do our grocery shopping.
Again, I'm a person who is, I'm not living in, I'm not living in any city.

Speaker 1 I'm living in a town. The place I go to do my grocery shopping, which is five minutes, 10 minutes from my house, whatever it is, like a quick drive, is

Speaker 1 in a food desert.

Speaker 1 I'm literally grocery shopping inside of a food desert on a regular basis. This is when this started.
So I went and I looked.

Speaker 1 Not only was there one grocery store that I would do my grocery shopping inside of a food desert, there's another one. Like I, there's like a Walmart.

Speaker 1 Then there's a Target right around the corner. Then there is a, you know, like an upscale sort of

Speaker 1 at the time,

Speaker 1 I can't think of the name of it, but you know, it's like an upscale, like grocery store. It's got some produce.
It's like a smaller place, but it's also got some prepared foods. Like a Trader Joe's.

Speaker 1 Like a Trader Joe's. It wasn't a Trader Joe's, it was that type of place.

Speaker 1 Smaller than a Whole Foods, but it was more, you know, there's that. And then there was like another place that had some stuff, all in this area that was designed as a food desert.

Speaker 1 Now, I don't know why,

Speaker 1 but like, you know, it was like one of those super Walmarts that has like 78,000 varieties varieties of

Speaker 1 cereal when you go there.

Speaker 1 It's massive. And they're telling me, well, people just can't find food here.

Speaker 1 Michelle Obama's telling me, oh, well, people just struggle to find any food.

Speaker 1 So I don't, is it, would it actually be true? that you can't buy groceries in the quote downtown of Atlanta? No, I don't know. I just don't believe it.
I don't either.

Speaker 1 If you live in downtown Atlanta, please give me a call. Do you have groceries in your home? Have you been able to purchase homes? And this goes beyond the fact that we now have things like Instacart

Speaker 1 where you can get groceries delivered wherever you are. Now, I understand if you, there's a certain income level there that might be like there's fees associated with it.

Speaker 1 So it's not for everybody, but groceries are pretty freaking available. Everywhere.
Almost everywhere in this country.

Speaker 1 So this particular market they're talking about, the Azalea Fresh Market, is a 20,000 square foot.

Speaker 1 That's the beginning of what officials hope will be more publicly funded, but privately run supermarkets to come. They want this to happen

Speaker 1 all over the place.

Speaker 1 Other towns across America have experimented with similar stores with what they say are varying levels of success.

Speaker 1 That's a great way of saying everything failed. It was a hyperlink, so I clicked on it to see the varying levels, right? Oh, cool.
So

Speaker 1 the aforementioned varying levels of success, I clicked on that and I found out where they're experiencing success.

Speaker 1 And as a matter of fact, all the stores they mention where they're experiencing the various levels are either closed or are closing.

Speaker 1 You could call that varying levels. I don't know if success works there, but maybe varying levels of failure would work.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, so this is though, let's be clear about what happened here and what the problem is.

Speaker 1 The problem is you. Me? You're not supposed to click that link.
No, you're not. You're not.

Speaker 1 That is not how the media works. Don't be curious about their varying levels.
They made a claim.

Speaker 1 Just live with the claim.

Speaker 1 Here's what you're supposed to take from this report. Some were only modestly successful.
Others were incredibly successful.

Speaker 1 Maybe the most successful thing ever created. Somewhere in there is where all these stores fell.
In reality, all of them failed. All of them.

Speaker 1 It is amazing because I thought, okay, I want to see if, you know, these publicly run or owned, these government-owned grocery stores are actually succeeding. Not one place.

Speaker 1 Did they mention where it's working well? Not one. Of course not.

Speaker 1 And they said, now, did this town town of a thousand people in eerie kansas have the answer well no they didn't because it's not working either there's a walmart 15 miles away that people go to avoid the government run one in the town of a thousand people

Speaker 1 it's unreal

Speaker 1 how bad all of these grocery stores fare And you know, the same thing happens with the other thing he's talking about, and that's the free buses. The free buses in,

Speaker 1 they said that it's being tried in four other cities in America. We looked up all four.
How's that going? It's failed in all four. Wait, would you say there's varying levels of success?

Speaker 1 I would say varying levels, yes,

Speaker 1 of total failure. So it's failed everywhere.
Failed everywhere. Kansas City just closed up theirs, stopped doing it.

Speaker 1 There were several other, like three other places. And for a while, it was working in one of them, and then they shut it down too.
Well, and it just doesn't work.

Speaker 1 The standard of for a while it's working is even misleading because what does that mean? The fact that the

Speaker 1 that they haven't completely gone belly up yet. Right.
That's a totally different standard than working.

Speaker 1 The fact that it still exists and is able to make fun for a while. No, right.
What happens is

Speaker 1 these things cost gigantic amounts of money. People don't use them.

Speaker 1 And eventually politics says, okay, well, we can't continue to fund this thing that people aren't using or we're going to lose our jobs. They're going to vote us out.

Speaker 1 And so eventually the money dries up, and that's why they fail. They don't fail because they lose money, because they all, of course, they're losing money.
There's no way for them to make money.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 The money's being coming from the taxpayer. If you don't include all the free money they got from the taxpayer, then all these programs look wonderful for a time.

Speaker 1 That's like when they say free health care, right? Well, I mean, I guess if in theory, if the American people

Speaker 1 decided it was correct to donate multiple billions of dollars constantly to these programs, well, they can stay afloat for a while. It doesn't mean you get good service.

Speaker 1 It doesn't mean it's something that people enjoy. But you can throw money at these things and

Speaker 1 people like getting this stuff for free. You can keep it going for a while.
Yeah. But eventually,

Speaker 1 it's going to collapse. Money dries up.
Yeah. And I don't even understand.
Like, a lot of times they're like, well, if we put a

Speaker 1 grocery store in this area, it's because people, did you know that people can't walk to the grocery store to get their groceries? You know what sucks is walking to get your groceries.

Speaker 1 Like that's a terrible way to get your groceries. Now, I understand in some city environments.
Nobody wants to do that.

Speaker 1 Nobody. If you're living in Manhattan,

Speaker 1 you have to maybe, it's not easy. I mean,

Speaker 1 you're probably going to take an Uber with a large order. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But like, you know, for a lot of people in a city environment, like sometimes it would be great to have a store right across the street, I guess, that you go over and carry all those heavy bags across the street to your house.

Speaker 1 But, like, that's not what most people do. Like, I drive all the time five, 10, 15 minutes, not because there's nothing closer.
It's because I'm going to

Speaker 1 choose the store out of the incredible bounty that capitalism has provided.

Speaker 1 Right? Like, hey, I've got 14 choices of where to go

Speaker 1 shop. Where do I go? Now, you get deep some rural areas where, you know, there's no people

Speaker 1 where you drive for 10 minutes and you've been looking at one property the whole time? Like, yeah, there's not going to be a grocery store in every corner there. It doesn't make any sense.
Right.

Speaker 1 And that's a food desert. Is it? Is that really what we're talking about here? It's like these, these are made-up terms.
It's nonsense.

Speaker 1 It's a way to take more of your money and direct it toward a giant project started by Karl Marx many years ago. And Mom Donnie's in the middle of trying to do that to

Speaker 1 the world's financial capital. God, this this is not going to work out well.
No, it is not. Triple 8727 back.

Speaker 1 Are they still even using the term food deserts?

Speaker 1 I don't hear that as much after your

Speaker 1 eight episodes. I wonder if that shut them down.
You're like, we shut it down. Look at that.
Stu Bergeer just pointed out what liars we are. I guess we got to stop this.

Speaker 1 It seems like it ended kind of with Obama. That was a big deal during the Obama years, was people living in food deserts where they can't get fresh food.
They can't get produce. They can't.

Speaker 1 I mean, they can get burgers or they could get fries, but they can't get a banana. Yeah, that's the idea.

Speaker 1 You see, our problem with our health pat is that people want to choose zucchini, but just can't. So they keep getting Big Macs.
It's the dumbest argument in the world. People just like Big Macs more.

Speaker 1 That's what the, that's the secret. The secret sauce here is their secret sauce.

Speaker 1 That is, that's what what I'm saying. There's no doubt about that, too.

Speaker 1 It's just, that's true. That's just fact.

Speaker 1 I will say you're right in that it's not promoted nearly as much. Like a lot of the stuff are

Speaker 1 older references to the food desert thing. Maybe we did solve it.

Speaker 1 Why didn't we take a victory lap on that? Yeah, you should. That was stupid.
We should take a victory lap on that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But now, what the thing is, is

Speaker 1 no

Speaker 1 preservatives and no

Speaker 1 more, no food coloring. You can't use red dye number five and stuff.
All the JFK Jr. or RFK Jr.
stuff.

Speaker 1 JFK doesn't really

Speaker 1 talk. Again, just like the food.
Not at all. He doesn't barely even talk about it or anything.

Speaker 1 You hardly ever hear from him. Very quiet.
It's weird.

Speaker 1 RFK Jr., though, is talking about this stuff a lot. And yeah, I guess that's the thing.

Speaker 1 Look, the bottom line is people make bad choices about what they eat because the stuff that is a good choice sucks. Right.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 That's the secret to

Speaker 1 the world. Yeah.
When you want to unlock the secret of health. Let's see.
I could have spinach or I can have a cheeseburger.

Speaker 1 People just

Speaker 1 check a cheeseburger. Yeah.
Yeah. Every time.
And honestly, like

Speaker 1 these companies could make tons of profit on spinach if people wanted the spinach. Right.
Like they'd really be excited to. They really don't want it, though.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like McDonald's would serve spinach if people wanted it, I assure you. They just don't, people don't want it.

Speaker 1 I love it when President Trump talks about having RFK Jr. on the Air Force One with him when they served McDonald's and he had him eat a Big Mac.
He actually ate a Big Mac.

Speaker 1 Wait, I mean, Mr. Health Food ate a Big Mac.

Speaker 1 If you have a hoodie,

Speaker 1 sometimes you pick up that hoodie or a t-shirt, it's already, you know, kind of clear that it's not something that's going to last, right?

Speaker 1 It's got the thin fabric, it's got loose seams, it's got colors that are not going to survive, they just kind of fade and just get, you know, it just doesn't work, right? American Giant is different.

Speaker 1 They take their clothing and they make it right here in the United States. They use heavy-duty fabrics, they use craftsmanship that actually

Speaker 1 prioritizes durability. When you are putting on one of their pieces, you'll notice this as soon as you get it.

Speaker 1 You can feel the structure and the material, the way it holds its shape, the way that they care about every single detail.

Speaker 1 And they invest in American factories and American workers because they want to make things that aren't disposable.

Speaker 1 These are things that you can break in, you can wear them hard, you can wash them repeatedly, and you can still rely on them.

Speaker 1 That's true, Pat. We do.

Speaker 1 We also, though, haven't much to tell you about realestateagents I trust.com. If you're buying or selling a home, it's straightforward of a process until, you know,

Speaker 1 it isn't. Suddenly everything goes up, you know, and gets crazy.

Speaker 1 You got pricing, you got timing, you got inspections, you got negotiations, and the whole process moves faster or slower depending on whether your agent actually knows what they're doing.

Speaker 1 Realestateagents I trust.com was created exactly for that reason.

Speaker 1 It is a network of top-performing agents across the country who don't buy their way in, they earn their way in by delivering real results for real families.

Speaker 1 These agents understand their local markets down to the neighborhood level, and they know how to price a home so it gets attention, how to negotiate a competitive environment, and of course, how to keep the process smooth when unexpected stuff pops up.

Speaker 1 So you saw the

Speaker 1 video that they did about

Speaker 1 you don't have to accept orders. They were talking to the military.
Mark Kelly was among them.

Speaker 1 Speaking to our U.S. military, that you don't have to accept illegal orders, right?

Speaker 1 And there were, it was Mark Kelly and there was a bunch of other

Speaker 1 zeros.

Speaker 1 One of them. No idea who they are.

Speaker 1 There's all military members, former military, or CIA. Okay, yeah, CIA or military members themselves.
And then with that message to the military.

Speaker 1 And here is Mark Kelly on Rachel Maddow talking about that video. Let me first just get your response to this threat from the Defense Department saying that they are investigating you.

Speaker 1 They may potentially recall you to active duty to face a court-martial.

Speaker 5 Well, Rachel, I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial. Not true.
And that was that members of the military should follow the law.

Speaker 1 And in response to that, Donald Trump said, I should be executed. That's the issue.
I should be hanged. He didn't say you should be executed or hanged.

Speaker 1 I can't even listen to this guy.

Speaker 1 This despicable lying sack knows exactly what he was doing and why it's controversial. He knows why.
Of course. What do you even, why are you even addressing the military and saying this to them?

Speaker 1 A couple of them have blurted this out now because people keep pressing them. They're like, well, why would you do this?

Speaker 1 And he'll say, well, this is exactly why we're doing it because we're out of control as a government so they are now kind of admitting the reason they did the video which they didn't initially which is they believe

Speaker 1 zero specifics i have not heard however not heard one media organization use the term without evidence to describe their claims because none of them can describe what has actually been done that is illegal right they just keep saying you know we you know we just may want to make sure people don't do things that are illegal why why is that an issue why when has it ever been an issue i No Republicans did that under the Obama administration or Biden.

Speaker 1 And they would have had a fit if they did. If a bunch of Republican senators got on and were talking to the U.S.

Speaker 1 military about not accepting illegal orders, they'd be like, why are you even bringing that up?

Speaker 1 When did Barack Obama do anything illegal? So, I mean, it's just, it's despicable. And besides that, it puts that little doubt.

Speaker 1 What they're trying to do is create that doubt in members of the military that when the commander-in-chief does give them orders, is that, well, is that an illegal order?

Speaker 1 Is that what I was warned about? I mean, it's really dangerous. It's really dangerous.
And he should be investigated.

Speaker 1 I know,

Speaker 1 just not to quibble at all with your take here. He did pretty much.

Speaker 1 He did sort of say that they should be executed.

Speaker 1 Well, he's not. I got to point it out.

Speaker 1 He did say he's talking sedition. He didn't say they committed it necessarily.

Speaker 1 It's honestly the same line these congressmen are doing. They're like, well, hey, guys,

Speaker 1 whatever you do, don't live some new illegal orders. When obviously what they're doing is accusing them.
What he technically said was seditious behavior, punishable by death.

Speaker 1 Well, that's got nothing to do with them. He's just saying it, guys.

Speaker 1 It's a

Speaker 1 dumb line that they used. I will say,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 but he didn't say, I'm going to have Mark Kelly executed. And of course, the most important part of this, and we brought this up yesterday, there's a 0% chance that's going to happen.

Speaker 1 Obviously, it's not.

Speaker 1 Whether he should say it or not is another conversation, but it's not going to happen. He did also repost

Speaker 1 another person's message that said, quote, hang them, George Washington would.

Speaker 1 And again, I don't know if that's ideal. I did not see that one.

Speaker 1 And George Washington actually did hang traitors and he hung them in public.

Speaker 1 A lot of people think he hung them on his front lawn. I don't believe he did that at his home.

Speaker 1 Except for property values,

Speaker 1 he wouldn't want to do that. You don't want to.
No, the neighbors get pissed because it does drop the value.

Speaker 1 And we got that directly from the agents at realestateagents at trust.com. They're like, hey, whatever you do, don't hang people on your front lawn.

Speaker 1 Don't paint a room a crazy color because people don't like that. And don't hang people on your front lawn.

Speaker 1 Now you tell me. Just last week.

Speaker 1 So, again, I don't think any of this is helpful. How about that for a summary of the story?

Speaker 1 Nothing that's occurred around it is good. You shouldn't come out and do what they did to start all of this, which is make this video.

Speaker 1 And the response has not been, I think it's been somewhat suboptimal as well.

Speaker 1 I think, though,

Speaker 1 what the investigation is about

Speaker 1 is trying to dig into how all of this happened. I think there's a suspicion within the Trump administration that they didn't just decide one day to make this very coordinated video.

Speaker 1 What is suspected here? I think,

Speaker 1 you know, I think they think that there is a more direct

Speaker 1 where they're sort of denying, we didn't say that. We never told them to do that.
I think

Speaker 1 they think they're going to go into the text messages and find out that they did

Speaker 1 actually

Speaker 1 want to encourage them to do this for a reason that might lead to chaotic outcomes.

Speaker 1 And I think so.

Speaker 1 Could be anything. I think they want a chance to look at all those messages and investigate and see what they can find.
And by they, are we talking about leadership in the Democrat Party?

Speaker 1 No, I'm talking about the Republicans. I'm talking about,

Speaker 1 I think the Trump administration and the DOJ and the military suspect this video was made with either

Speaker 1 an outward

Speaker 1 goal

Speaker 1 of getting military members to disobey orders. Oh, I think, yes, I think that's

Speaker 1 blittingly true.

Speaker 1 I think we all can say, hey, yeah, we think that's true, but we don't have evidence of that. What they think is

Speaker 1 if they do an investigation, they're going to find that evidence.

Speaker 1 And also, who knows who's funding this? And again, this is just a small video. They obviously could have made it for free.

Speaker 1 But oftentimes, these things start with an organization that is attempting to influence our politics. And was that part of the situation at all?

Speaker 1 So I think that's their belief, or at least suspicion, in this case.

Speaker 1 And I think if they can get into an investigation, they can root out what actually happened because it was jarring just from the perspective of what are you talking about? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, what do you mean, what do you mean? Well, of course, you don't, you don't do things. That's like saying, you know, a video coming out, hey, guys, don't murder people today.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. We're not saying there's anything wrong with

Speaker 1 you

Speaker 1 reminding me.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 But what's your motivation?

Speaker 1 What would bring you to say something like that? And look, there are examples of the left saying that he's doing things.

Speaker 1 I mean, they've called his, when he's bringing troops into these cities to shut down riots and stuff, they say that's illegal. They say the Venezuela boat stuff is illegal.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of things that are saying are illegal right now.

Speaker 1 So I think it is tied to that. I think they want to know if there is a real evidentiary tie or is it just our suspicion? The Venezuelan boat thing is not my favorite thing.

Speaker 1 You just don't like traveling on them or what's your problem with Venezuelan boats, Pat? Killing the people on them is, I think, an issue.

Speaker 1 Just indiscriminately wiping them out without, you know, let's, I mean, due process might be a thing there.

Speaker 1 You know, maybe you pull them over. Maybe you board them.
Maybe there's an interdiction there. That's kind of been what we've done in the past.
Yeah, and that's what they'll say.

Speaker 1 But, okay, so now you went from that to escalating it to, ah, just kill them.

Speaker 1 I guess if you are 100% convinced that these are all narco-terrorists, you don't have that much sympathy for them. Right? I guess if

Speaker 1 that's why it's not a big issue to the American people. Yeah.
You know, they don't. Because we just believe they're narco-terrorists.

Speaker 1 And yeah, we're believing the government. You know, a lot of the people

Speaker 1 who are totally fine with this are a lot of the people that have told me over and over again, like, you know, hey, you know, you can't get involved in foreign conflicts because, hey, remember when everyone said they were 100% convinced there was weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

Speaker 1 That would be a lot easier, probably, to determine

Speaker 1 as opposed to whether one individual guy is an arco-terrorist. I also will say the location of these things has been interesting to me.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Are they in the open sea? Are they really on their way to the United States? They're like in these small little boats off the coast of Venezuela. Yeah.
It's really far. Yeah.
It's a long way.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm not saying they couldn't get here, but like, should we wait until they're halfway? I don't know. That's been my thought.
How about this? Wait until they're within 10 miles.

Speaker 1 When you're in the Gulf of Mexico, maybe we start. Right, okay.

Speaker 1 You have a legitimate argument at that point.

Speaker 1 Like, what, you know, because what they said that one of the Colombian, they're like, oh, it was just a fisherman.

Speaker 1 Now, it's a fisherman, like, probably, honestly, it's probably a fisherman just like it was just a Maryland father.

Speaker 1 Probably. Right.
It's probably. Probably.
Probably.

Speaker 1 But we do have ways of dealing with this that

Speaker 1 isn't just droning them. Now, of course, the truth of the matter here is.

Speaker 1 Donald Trump has looked at the situation and said, yeah, we've done all those things before. They didn't work.
We keep having these situations and we're sending a message.

Speaker 1 This is absolutely, there's a reason they're posting all the videos on social media. This is not about these individual narcoterrists.
They want everyone to determine what's exploding.

Speaker 1 And I will say this, if I was in Venezuela, would not be boating for any reason.

Speaker 1 I would not go out on a joyous booze cruise to celebrate a work party. Because God only knows what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 And if I feel that way, I'm not even in Venezuela or near a boat. I can't imagine what the people who are actually terrorists think.
They're at the very least developing different routes here.

Speaker 1 I could tell you that. No question.
So I think that probably is working.

Speaker 1 Now, there are legal questions associated with that, Pat. Yes.
Usually you have to be at war with a country to do such a thing. And

Speaker 1 there is an internal document that's been leaked out that it's basically has a justification saying we're at war with this cartel.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 1 you know, there's some questions about whether you can get away with that legally. But it's one of those great situations, sort of like the TikTok ban I was complaining about yesterday.
You know,

Speaker 1 most people just like TikTok.

Speaker 1 And so they're not complaining about the fact that we passed a law that in both houses of Congress, it went to the president, he signed it, it went to the Supreme Court, and it was unanimously upheld.

Speaker 1 And we're just not implementing it. That's not something the country should be doing.
But most people are like, eh,

Speaker 1 it's only the Chinese Communist Party controlling the the thoughts of our children. Who cares?

Speaker 1 I know. You know, what's the big deal? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I really think that lip-sync video of the Kardashians is hilarious.

Speaker 1 And that's kind of where we are when I think of Venezuelan boats. And we're upwards of 100 people now.
And I guess we just assume they're all bad people and they deserve to die.

Speaker 1 And so we've seen almost no evidence supporting that.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen any.

Speaker 1 My belief is. And the villagers are saying a lot of them are just...
Of course they're saying that.

Speaker 1 They've said, though, that these boats, and these boats don't look like they're long-range boats to me. Right.
Maybe they can make it to America. I don't know.
The villagers are saying they can't.

Speaker 1 There's no way they could make it to America. I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe.

Speaker 1 Maybe. I mean, maybe

Speaker 1 they cut the corner

Speaker 1 because it's very difficult.

Speaker 1 This is something that not everybody knows.

Speaker 1 Not very easy to get from Venezuela to the United States by foot. This is a difficult journey.
There's an entire place where there's not a road. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 1 Like through this bizarre jungle that is such a treacherous area, there's not even a road to drive through. You have to like, it's really terrible.
And it's one of the highest crime areas on earth.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's basically a lawless zone in between us and them.

Speaker 1 And so maybe they're just cutting the corner and just going into like, you know, Belize or something and just being like, let's just drop all your stuff off there. You can walk it in.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'd like to know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's another part of it. The case hasn't really been made.
Yeah. Show us the case.
That's what I've kind of been wanting to see.

Speaker 1 Show us the evidence. I think everyone says the evidence is these drugs are coming into our country and killing our people.
So that's the evidence. But we don't know that they are bringing them.

Speaker 1 Especially these individuals. Individuals, these people.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 In fact,

Speaker 1 you wonder if we even know their names.

Speaker 1 Maybe they do. Look, we have really impressive intelligence resources, and maybe they do.
Maybe. I would like the case to be made a little bit clearer and the legal justification to be spelled out.

Speaker 1 The fact that there's senators in his own party,

Speaker 1 President Trump's own party, and this is a big Rubio thing, by the way. Rubio is very big on this.

Speaker 1 But senators who are friends with Rubio from the Senate days are like, hey, do you mind just explaining what the legal justification is?

Speaker 1 Can we get like a piece of paper that says, hey, this is why we're doing this and how we're able to do it? Because it's not normal behavior for the United States.

Speaker 1 And look, this situation might deserve

Speaker 1 out-of-the-box solutions.

Speaker 1 This is out of the box. This is very out of the box.
But it should, I think, I think

Speaker 1 because it's such a popular thing to get rid of a narco-terrorist, there's not a massive demand by the American people to hear the justification.

Speaker 1 But we should go, again, process is important on this stuff. We should know.
I think so.

Speaker 1 We should at least know, at least the senators on these big committees should know. Yeah.
Call me picky. But I don't know that you blow 100 people out of the water

Speaker 1 just like that with no evidence that you're presenting to anybody. Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 1 888-727-BECK, more coming up.

Speaker 2 Holiday time is high crime season, but not all crime should be addressed the same way. According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less than 1% of the time.

Speaker 2 Burna covers the other 99% of altercations with the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. So next time you think you need lethal force, think of Burna.

Speaker 2 Start with Burna BYRNA. I carry one myself.
I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Burna launcher.

Speaker 2 The new Burna Compact is the world's smallest, less lethal pistol, concealable anywhere. It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes.

Speaker 2 With 60 feet of range, you can confidently and effectively de-escalate a situation without the use of lethal force.

Speaker 2 No background checks, legal in all 50 states, ships straight to your door, and Burna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

Speaker 2 Visit burna by RNA.com and find the right launcher for your family. BYRNA.com, that's Burna.com.

Speaker 1 Well, the official Glenn Beck Black Friday sale is live right now. People don't understand what Friday means anymore, I've noticed, over this period.
Yeah, because it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday.

Speaker 1 And every Black Friday sale now starts way earlier than Black Friday. I've noticed that.
That's an interesting development recently. But the official Glenn, we're on the bandwagon.

Speaker 1 We're not going to say, hey, we think the date,

Speaker 1 the day is the day.

Speaker 1 We're sticking to that day.

Speaker 1 We're not going to do that. We're not hardcore like that.
We will say that everything in the Glenbeck merch store is 25% off today. Get the perfect Christmas gifts.
Stand for truth.

Speaker 1 Go to Glennbeck.com and click shop. Glennbeck.com and click shop.
They've got the t-shirts and the hoodies and all sorts of great items for any Christmas gift you might need.

Speaker 1 Save 25% on your entire order right now. Black Friday sale is going on.
Do not

Speaker 1 wait.

Speaker 1 Whatever you do, do not wait. Glennbeck.com, click shop.
Go there right now and get loaded up. Or else.
Or else we're going to drone you.

Speaker 1 Okay. Blow you right out of the water.
Just like a Venezuelan boat. Okay.
Don't go fishing.

Speaker 1 If you don't go there right now, do not go fishing in the next few days. What if you're in Venezuela, Pat, and you're like, I own a riverboat cruise that goes out in the ocean a little bit.
Not going.

Speaker 1 I don't. I feel like business is down.
I bet it is. I bet it's down.
I bet it is. Would you even go fishing if you're...
No, I wouldn't. I'm not going fishing.
I'm not. No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 And if I'm going out, I'm taking a right. Like, if I'm coming off the coast of Venezuela, I'm not going left towards America.
I'm going right. I'm going, I don't know, somewhere somewhere south.

Speaker 1 No question.

Speaker 1 I don't care what the real situation is. And then when I'm coming back home, stay real close to the coast, hoping they don't notice.
Don't go into international waters for sure. For sure.

Speaker 1 Because I think that all of these have happened in international waters, right? Otherwise, it's an act of war. Right.

Speaker 1 But we haven't done that yet. Right.

Speaker 1 So that's.

Speaker 1 We might. I mean, it does seem like we're preparing for war with Venezuela, does it not? It seems like we're getting ready.
Or at least we're trying to at least do that.

Speaker 1 At least sending that message to them. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, I don't know. We'll see.
We'll see.

Speaker 1 I will say that the

Speaker 1 New Yorker is still trying to soft pedal all the illegal aliens and

Speaker 1 people who have

Speaker 1 committed crimes for a really long time. They just want them to continue to be able to commit those crimes here in the United States of America.

Speaker 1 They

Speaker 1 documented the deportation of Jamaican national Orville Atoria to a prison facility in Eswatini.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they're trying to make this out like it's a really terrible thing.

Speaker 1 And they quoted the illegal alien who is being deported as saying, it helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt going to another land in shackles and chains.

Speaker 1 And then there was a little community note attached to this.

Speaker 1 By the way, Orville is going in shackles and chains, not because he's a slave, but because he's committed serious felonies, including robbery and murder. So

Speaker 1 that's why he's going to one of our facilities in Eswatini now.

Speaker 1 Oh. Yeah.
So a little bit different situation. Now, if maybe we saw something like that on the Venezuelan situation, I'd feel a little bit better about it.
All right, what do these guys do?

Speaker 1 Help me out with that.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 It's Pet and Stupor Glenn.

Speaker 1 You know, something we've been talking about until we're blue in the face is

Speaker 1 hair discrimination. I mean, if there's one thing I feel strongly about,

Speaker 1 it's hair discrimination. It's funny, I was on Apple podcasts the other day.
By the way, go there, leave a review of the Google Met program, Studios America, Pat Gray Unleashed.

Speaker 1 But I was on there and I clicked on Pat Gray Unleashed to listen to your wonderful program and realized it was number one in the category of black hair discrimination.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because we're pretty passionate about it. I didn't realize

Speaker 1 we want it to stop. I want the black hair discrimination to stop.
And so do others, apparently. Good.
Apparently, there's going to be no more hair discrimination in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 They finally put their

Speaker 1 feet down on this particular issue.

Speaker 1 Check this out.

Speaker 6 Clip 10. Sign the Crown Act into law.

Speaker 1 All right. Crown Act.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's the Crown Act.

Speaker 6 The next step in making good on that promise of bringing about real freedom for all

Speaker 1 Pennsylvanians.

Speaker 7 So freedom. Public policy campaign is my brainchild.
In a nationwide effort, I have led since 2000.

Speaker 1 You have a weird thing to say about yourself by now.

Speaker 7 Determining it was necessary to change the law to help redress the long-standing and problematic practice of racial discrimination in the form of hair discrimination.

Speaker 1 Very problematic.

Speaker 7 I subsequently developed the national legislative

Speaker 7 and coalition building strategies for this movement because for too long, a myopic notion of professionalism and Eurocentric standards of beauty have perpetuated racial inequity and exclusively.

Speaker 1 Pause it for just a second.

Speaker 1 How many times have I talked about the Eurocentric standards of beauty on this show? Oh, many, many others. On this show, Many, many others.
You have a bumper sticker.

Speaker 1 It says, please stop the Eurocentric. Eurocentric focus of the

Speaker 1 going on. Yeah, I can't remember the exact bumper sticker pattern, but I know you have to do it.
I've got so many on my car. You really do.
I just can't keep driving. Too many, I will say.

Speaker 1 But and then who's the person on her

Speaker 1 t-shirt? On her t-shirt. Is that her? Does she have a picture of herself on her shirt? I don't know.
That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 1 I mentioned this as she was talking. First of all,

Speaker 1 the brainchild thing is what other people say that about you. Right.
Like, this is the brain child. Kexy Cookie's the brain child of Jackie Gray.
Like,

Speaker 1 that's what you say

Speaker 1 about someone else when you're describing them. You don't say, this is my brainchild.
Like, that's like just you're bragging about something that I assume she thinks is good, though I think is dumb.

Speaker 1 Like, for me, it's an insult if it's her brainchild, but that's a whole other thing. The secondary part about it is show us this picture again.

Speaker 1 This is about hair discrimination. You know, that like she's wearing wearing a t-shirt of a woman with like kind of like a you know very big hair.
It's you know kind of crazy colors, yellow, green,

Speaker 1 red, all these different colors. All this

Speaker 1 to be said is her hair is totally normal. Her actual hair is just like normal and parted like my hair is.
It looks Eurocentric, Frank. It looks very Eurocentric.

Speaker 1 Very basic, normal, everyday person's hair

Speaker 1 that you'd see anyway. It's nothing, it's not at all the example of something that would be discriminated against because this was even a thing.

Speaker 1 What you would imagine they're talking about are dreadlocks, I guess, right? I guess. Is that, I mean, are people discriminated against if they have dreadlocks?

Speaker 1 Is that what you're supposed to assume from this? Because I don't know of this hair discrimination problem. I didn't realize this was such an issue that she's been campaigning nationwide for.

Speaker 1 Oh, she had a brain child. She had to do something with a kid.
Right? She had to do something, which is show up with Josh Shapiro and bolster his 2028 campaign.

Speaker 1 So glad Pennsylvania finally did something about it. But let her finish here.
This is great. Shut up.

Speaker 7 Too many black children have been suspended and missed what should be valuable instruction time because their hair...

Speaker 7 worn in ways that are aligned with their racial identity, have been deemed a violation of school rules.

Speaker 8 I am a child growing up in the Virgin Islands with natural hair.

Speaker 1 Hold on for a second.

Speaker 1 My favorite part about this is a guy in the last part of this clip who was standing behind him, totally bald.

Speaker 1 Is he? What about bald people discrimination? No one's even talking about that. Not even talking about that.
He's like, yeah, this isn't cultural.

Speaker 1 I just don't have any hair.

Speaker 1 And he's like, I'm going to the hair discrimination thing. I want my picture there.

Speaker 1 I want to be in the hair discrimination crowd hanging out behind Josh Shapiro as he's he's trying to win in 2028. That's important.
Good for him for showing up. Yes, for sure.
All right, there's more.

Speaker 8 Natural hair has been

Speaker 8 braided to its

Speaker 8 locks all my life. That's all I know.
As you know, I still have locks. But wearing my natural hair has

Speaker 1 all that I know.

Speaker 8 But as I opened my salon and spoke to different clients, clients that wear braids that's telling me Lorraine, I have to take these braids out. I have a job interview.
Or Lorraine,

Speaker 8 I have to cut my locks down because my job says too long. And the recent one was my client who says, Lorraine, they talking about me.
I have to do something. I have to cut my locks because of my job.

Speaker 8 You know, they're saying it's unprofessional to have locks. And I'm like, wow.

Speaker 6 Look, we know that this is an issue that disproportionately affects black pencils.

Speaker 1 Wait, hold on. It's disproportionately.
Wearing wearing protective styles like locks and natural braids

Speaker 6 or twists.

Speaker 1 And it can whiff or twist in an extraordinary sense of the music. This is such a core inference to Josh Shapiro.
It's getting so authentic.

Speaker 6 Simply because as he was reading a book, or twists getting passed over for a job because of the way

Speaker 1 they wear their own. And now you can't do that.
Let's stop for a second. This is so insulting.
This is so insultingly stupid.

Speaker 1 First of all, Josh Shapiro knows nothing about what he's talking about here, quite obviously. He's just reading a piece of paper.
He does not know anything about this topic.

Speaker 1 What I always find interesting about this is one thing that we should be clear about as whitey. Can we speak as whitey here, Pat? Official statement from the whites?

Speaker 1 We don't care what your hair looks like. Not at all.

Speaker 1 I don't know why

Speaker 1 this impression came through.

Speaker 1 None of us care. It's like someone's saying, hey, you, stop looking at my elbows all the time.
You're always looking at my elbows. You're always staring at my elbows.

Speaker 1 I'm not looking at your elbows, dude. I don't care about your elbows.
Your elbows can look however they want to look. I don't care.
That's how I feel about the hair thing.

Speaker 1 I don't know anyone who cares

Speaker 1 what black people's hair looks like at all.

Speaker 1 I don't think anyone, I don't know anyone who would say, you know what?

Speaker 1 I was interested in hiring an African-American, but only one with straight hair. I'm a huge racist that would only hire white people, but I'll make an exception for black people with straight hair.

Speaker 1 Well, who is this person? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Michelle Obama was on a similar kick last week.

Speaker 1 She was talking about how terrible it is that black women have to straighten their hair to please white people.

Speaker 1 What? We're not pleased.

Speaker 1 You don't need to please what your hair looks like. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever said, you know what?

Speaker 1 Black people better straighten out their hair or they're not going to get a job. Not with me, not in my company.

Speaker 1 I can't imagine it. Well,

Speaker 1 the problem with the whole argument is if you're that person, if you're a person who would say that ridiculous thing, oh, I will,

Speaker 1 you need to straighten your hair out, or I'm not going to employ because I don't like

Speaker 1 authentic African-American hair. If that's you, then you don't hire black people at all because you probably have a problem with black people, right?

Speaker 1 You're probably a racist, and I guess that person could exist. I'm not saying there's nobody in America who feels that way.
There probably are people who feel that way. But like, if...

Speaker 1 The skin would be the thing that you're going to have. It's certainly not rampant.

Speaker 1 And it's certainly not rampant. If you're already a racist, you're probably racist based on the skin color.
And the hair being straight is not going to overwhelm that instinct of yours. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it doesn't even make sense at the very core of it. Now, I'm trying to stretch this to the completely ridiculous extreme.
Is there

Speaker 1 a job in which certain hair is more appropriate? Like, I don't know. Like, you know, you think about like Bob Marley's hair.
If he's like, I don't know, your chef? Like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm sure there's a way to put it up. Yeah.
Like Like, if you put a hair net on, put a hair net on,

Speaker 1 but there could be some restrictions there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for anybody. You should write a hair net around food.

Speaker 1 And, like, I think, too, like, if you're thinking of a, let's look at a, if you're a banker or something, some high-level job, you're in suits all the time. There could be,

Speaker 1 I can't think of what it would be, but there could be a hair. Like, for example, I might say to someone who came in with a mohawk and say, hey, we're doing, you know, $10 million deals here.

Speaker 1 I don't think the Mohawk is going to work in these meetings. I'm sorry about that.
Now, Clubber Lang had a Mohawk in Rocky III. I don't know that it's necessarily a culturally African-American hairdo.

Speaker 1 I don't know the origins of it, honestly, because I've seen a lot of white people, both whites and blacks

Speaker 1 wear that haircut. But it would be inappropriate for that job.
So is there something?

Speaker 1 None of the haircuts these people seem to have are even close to these lines. No.
They all look very nice. And I mean, there is a maintenance level for certain jobs that you have to hit.

Speaker 1 That's not a racially insensitive thing. It's like if your hair is a complete disaster, then yeah, it's got to be a problem.

Speaker 1 If you smell,

Speaker 1 if you've got a mohawk, if you've got a,

Speaker 1 you know, if you have like

Speaker 1 80s,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 hair metal, long, you know, flowing locks as a white guy, you know, I'm sorry. I don't know that like accounting necessarily is the right field for that haircut.
Like, can you do something about it?

Speaker 1 Can you trim it up a little? I don't think that has nothing to do with race.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 there is, it's such a, there's an immediate jumping to this. And like, I just feel like as white people, maybe we should communicate this more clearly.
We don't care.

Speaker 1 We literally don't care. We don't really notice your hair all that much.

Speaker 1 I'm sure it's lovely. I don't mean to demean.
And then we'll talk about your face, too. Right.
Why don't you notice my hair?

Speaker 1 right why not that's like when they say like why well why why don't you date trans women right well

Speaker 1 and it you know

Speaker 1 because it's gone from uh you know judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of skin well now if you're if you're colorblind that's a bad thing according to many wait you of course you should notice that that they're black or hispanic or white or whatever because that's not even a thing anymore so they've changed the rules on us so many times it's hard to really know which way to go on that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and this is why, of course, I don't care about their rules. Yeah, I don't.
And what I'm going to do is what I think is right.

Speaker 1 And I stick by, I believe, I didn't start believing in judging people as individuals based on some rule the left made for me. I believed it because I think it's the right thing.

Speaker 1 It's the right way to handle people. I don't like thinking of people as members of groups.
That's what the left does.

Speaker 1 That's not what I do. I judge people by the content of their character.
And how straight their hair is. No, no, no, Pat.

Speaker 1 You added that addendum to it. That's not.

Speaker 1 You sure? I'm positive. That's not how I do it.
Okay. And here's the thing.
I know culture has changed a bunch of times. You're right.

Speaker 1 Like, they have made a bunch of different new rules that we're all supposed to follow.

Speaker 1 I haven't followed any of them.

Speaker 1 I've decided, as I know you have, you make a decision based on what you believe is right, and then you maintain that position as long as you believe it continually is right.

Speaker 1 There might be a time you change your opinion, but if you believe in something like treating people as individuals, treating them based on their merit, not on whether their hair is wavy or not,

Speaker 1 then you just move on with your life and you don't listen to all the left-wing nonsense when they change the rules on you. That's the right way to live life, I believe.

Speaker 1 Triple 8-727-BECK, more coming up.

Speaker 2 Teach your kids right.

Speaker 1 Shoot. You know, schools won't do it for you.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 This is Pat and Stewart for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK. Did you see they arrested

Speaker 1 some supposed relative of Caroline Levitt?

Speaker 1 Which I think, you know, what does that say? That says it doesn't matter

Speaker 1 whose relative you have. If you're here illegally,

Speaker 1 we're going to arrest you. And

Speaker 1 it doesn't matter. You're not even protected because your relative is

Speaker 1 the White House spokesperson i i think this person is uh her brother's ex-wife is what i think uh because they describe

Speaker 1 yeah they described her as the mother of caroline levitt's nephew which i think would mean it was her brother's wife right this is her sister-in-law or former sister-in-law because they're not married i don't think they're married anymore and she hasn't talked to her in years apparently but um yeah so i don't know that it necessarily makes the point that

Speaker 1 maybe not. I think they would go after someone they believed

Speaker 1 in crime. I think they would, yeah.
But I don't know that that proves it. If it was her mom, right? And her mom was here illegally, and they went after her mom, then that would say it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Probably a little stronger than this does. I really do think we are now in the

Speaker 1 there's an era that existed for a long time where, generally speaking, you didn't go after your political opponents. I would argue even when they were

Speaker 1 pretty obviously guilty, right? Because you wanted to maintain this idea that it wasn't political. Oh, I think that era is dead.
Yeah, I think so, too. And by the way,

Speaker 1 we have the murderer. It was Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 Joe Biden murdered that era. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And every other Democrat in that vicinity when they went after Donald Trump attorney throwing off the trend.

Speaker 1 You know what's going to happen is

Speaker 1 you're going to set this off, and there's going to be reciprocation here and you're not gonna like it. You're not always gonna be in office and something's gonna happen to you.

Speaker 1 And they just ignored that and went ahead anyway. And I think you know there are reasons for what President Trump are doing beyond it was done to him.

Speaker 1 But they did open a door here and

Speaker 1 now people are walking through it. So

Speaker 1 you made your bed. Yeah.
Now you have to lie in it.

Speaker 1 Sad story. It's a sad sad story.
I do think it's bad for the country overall, but it is something that I think is, I think that whole thing is over. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think we're going to get this every single time one party comes in, they're going to do this type of thing to the other party. Not a great show.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 So we got an interesting story that may have been set right for a change.

Speaker 1 A lot of times these things just

Speaker 1 go the wrong way. And this one went the wrong way at first.
And then when they found out

Speaker 1 that a woman had won a or a man had won a women's competition,

Speaker 1 they corrected it. Or at least they said they didn't know.
We'll get into that coming up here in a few minutes.

Speaker 1 Who do the Eagles Eagles play this weekend? Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their completely ridiculous loss to the Dallas Cowboys, face off against the 8-3 Chicago Bears on Black Friday.

Speaker 1 It's a tough one. You know,

Speaker 1 the North Division of the NFC,

Speaker 1 pretty good. Yeah,

Speaker 1 good teams there. What's your vibe on the Packers this year?

Speaker 1 I'm very confused by them. Yes, I would say

Speaker 1 they've beaten good teams and lost to really bad ones. Yeah.
And sometimes they just look like really awful and sometimes great. Yeah.
Very strange. I don't know what to make of it.

Speaker 1 Down the road where shadows hide, till the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get dark.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

Speaker 1 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 1 It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today.

Speaker 1 Strongest women competition just happened in Arlington, Texas. Strongest woman in the world.

Speaker 1 And it was a man. We'll tell you about that coming up in 60 seconds.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's first talk to you about blinds.com. Now, shopping for blinds, shades, all that stuff, usually turns into one of those huge projects that you put off because it feels overwhelming.

Speaker 1 I did this exact thing. Blinds.com takes all the hesitation out of the equation.
They give you an easy way to transform a room without hiring a designer or spending a fortune.

Speaker 1 And they make sure it's done right. Website guides you through everything, step-by-step, styles, fabrics, light control, cordless options, kid-safe and pet-safe choices.

Speaker 1 If you're not sure what fits in the room, their design experts will walk you through it at no extra cost.

Speaker 1 And once you have gone through this entire process, you picked what you want, blinds.com sends everything customized to you, your exact measurements.

Speaker 1 So you're not wrestling with a one-size-fits-all product that never really fits anything. Installation is simple, and if something doesn't look the way that you expected, their guarantee covers you.

Speaker 1 The Black Friday deals are going on at blinds.com. They're going strong all month long, actually, so don't miss your chance to save big.

Speaker 1 And as always, you'll still get 50 bucks off when you spend $500 or more if you use the code GLEN

Speaker 1 at checkout. It's a limited time offer.
Rules and restrictions apply. See blinds.com for details.
I I have blinds.com in our family room. We love them.
Had them for years now and holding up great.

Speaker 1 And they're just fantastic. It's a really easy way to do it.
So blinds.com.

Speaker 1 So the world's strongest woman was for a short time a man, a biological man. Now, if they're able to qualify for this, I think this would happen often, Pat.

Speaker 1 Like if it's legal for men to be in the world's strongest women contest, I think men would do really well.

Speaker 1 You think so? Yeah. So are you saying that as a rule, men are generally stronger than women?

Speaker 1 If I'm going to do some generalization here,

Speaker 1 especially at the, let's put it at the very top end of the spectrum. Okay.
Strongest men versus strongest women. Right.
You're not going to go with a man. You're going to go with the man.

Speaker 1 I've seen. That's weird.
Remember when ESPN used to run the world's strongest man from like 1987 all day

Speaker 1 because they had no other programming to put on? Yes. I remember those guys.
They carried really heavy things. I don't think women could do it.
They lifted really heavy weights and

Speaker 1 pulled buses with their teeth, I think.

Speaker 1 All I'd remember was really crazy. And I'd watched the same one.
Like, I knew some guy named Jorgelson was going to win at the end. I'd still watch it anyway.

Speaker 1 Me too.

Speaker 1 Sven Jorgelson.

Speaker 1 He's going to try to lift an entire tractor trailer with

Speaker 1 his big toe.

Speaker 1 He got it. And then everyone goes crazy.
Well, the four people that are there go crazy.

Speaker 1 And then the other guy is like, oh, another win for Sven Jorgelson. Dang it.

Speaker 1 I thought it was going to be stronger than Sven this year because I've been working out really hard. No.
No, it's all Sven Yorglson. He's always the guy that wins.

Speaker 1 Well, this time for the women, it was Jammy Booker.

Speaker 1 Jammy? Jammy. Jammy Booker.
Like, one.

Speaker 1 Mike Maybe. A nickname for pajamas? Yes.
Jammies? Jammy Booker. Jammy Booker.

Speaker 1 He, she,

Speaker 1 they

Speaker 1 lifted something like 118 pounds more than the runner-up person. And then it turned out afterwards.
Yeah, because that's a biological man. And so what they did was disqualified him, her,

Speaker 1 and gave it to the runner-up instead, and then promoted third place to second place. And so they fixed it.
I mean, when does that ever happen now? Yeah, that's great. So it's incredible.

Speaker 1 They basically said they didn't know.

Speaker 1 They said they didn't. Huh? Yeah.
Now,

Speaker 1 I will say one of the things that trans people talk about a lot is like a trans day of visibility. Like we want people to

Speaker 1 see us. We exist and we want people to see us.

Speaker 1 And my response to that is always like, yeah, we see you.

Speaker 1 We're well aware that you're there. We notice every time.

Speaker 1 And it's very, very obvious to us that you are there. Because usually when I I see a guy in a skirt, it stands out.
It does.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it does. It's noticeable.
Just a bit. So the visibility, really not your problem.

Speaker 1 I think I think you're arguing for in theory is the lack of visibility. Like you'd like to not be noticed.
At least that's what I thought the issue was.

Speaker 1 Now the theory is that they need to be more visible, which, again, you're doing a great job with it. You're incredibly visible.

Speaker 1 So in this situation, however, I did see the video and I didn't immediately have that same reaction. Like, I didn't look at it and say, oh, that's definitely.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's definitely a big, much bigger than the other participants, it seems. Yeah.
But I didn't necessarily know immediately. Did you?

Speaker 1 I did not. Okay.
Like, I'm looking at the person now, and I don't think I would have guessed.

Speaker 1 It could have gone either way on it. It wasn't like, oh, that's definitely a woman.
Right. But

Speaker 1 I wasn't like, oh, that's definitely a dude. Here's the thing.
This might shock you,

Speaker 1 but all of the women in the world's strongest woman competition are somewhat

Speaker 1 large.

Speaker 1 They're bulky. Yeah, they're a little bulky.
You got to have some bulk to lift. They got some meat on their bones.
Okay. And

Speaker 1 you can tell they've been working out a little bit. Okay.

Speaker 1 And so

Speaker 1 they're hefty. Now,

Speaker 1 would you say as a rule that every participant in the strongest women competition has to be a woman?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 1 Is it a requirement or is it something that we're just trying to like, we'd like it to be the case? No,

Speaker 1 I'm gonna go a little stronger than that and say we'd like them all to be women. All of them.
Yes. 100%.
We're gonna require them all to be actual biological women.

Speaker 1 Let me give you a polling term: margin of error. How comfortable are you for women? It's like zero.
It's at exactly zero. So all of them? All of them.
All of them have to be women.

Speaker 1 If you let a few guys slip in, you're not comfortable with that at all. I'm not comfortable in the least with that.
See, you're a stickler. Not in the competition, you were in the locker room.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm a stickler for that. Call me insensitive to the men trying to get into the women's competition.

Speaker 1 But I'm going to extend that from not just the world's strongest women competition, but all women's competitions. Tennis,

Speaker 1 soccer, badminton. You're going to stand by this.
Track and field. I'm standing by it.
Yes. Swimming.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm going to say, let's do it exclusively with women. All women's competitions.
Okay. Well, you've heard that.
You've heard the hatred, ladies and gentlemen, in America.

Speaker 1 You've heard the hatred of Pat Cray. You've heard it.
You've heard it. And I'm sticking by it.

Speaker 1 I feel like, too, there are some sports. I don't know, maybe like a flexibility sport, like certain gymnastics events or something, where women might do

Speaker 1 better, right, than guys.

Speaker 1 Maybe guys are really flexible like that. I think if I see a guy try to be flexible like that, I can feel the pain of it happening and I have to turn it off immediately.

Speaker 1 So I'm not 100% sure how that works.

Speaker 1 But if women have an advantage in that category, they shouldn't be able to go into the men's side.

Speaker 1 I don't know about you, Pat. I'm less worried about it the other way.
I am too.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen a single example of it yet. Well, I can give you a very baseline example.

Speaker 1 As you know, my son, Zach, he plays baseball, and he is, you know, plays pretty high-level baseball, you know, travel team type stuff. And he is on a team that was playing in a tournament.

Speaker 1 This is now probably two years ago. So I think it was a 12-year tournament.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it was 12U.

Speaker 1 And we... Which means 12 and under? Yes, 12 and under

Speaker 1 for the people who aren't constantly obsessed with youth baseball.

Speaker 1 And so you're 12 and under. And first of all, that means that 11-year-olds sometimes play in the 12-year-old division.

Speaker 1 Oddly enough, there's a lot of rules that seem to justify 13-year-olds also playing in the 12U thing. And I don't understand that.
It's like, well, yeah, he's in another grade, though.

Speaker 1 So, there's a number in the name of the league. It says 12U.
That is weird. You means under.

Speaker 1 12 or under. That's what it's supposed to be.
And they're like, oh, yeah, but he, yeah, sure, he's 18 and he's playing in this league, but you know, he stayed back a bunch of times.

Speaker 1 But he's in sixth grade.

Speaker 1 So I don't know why they have those exceptions, but that's all another story that I might complain about from time to time. So my son, who plays in the league that his age is,

Speaker 1 he is in a tournament, and one of the best teams in this tournament

Speaker 1 is there. And we are walking, you know, his game's ending.
We're walking over. He wants to watch

Speaker 1 this team play because they're kind of like, you know, one of the legendary teams from the area that's, I mean, legendary might be a little strong, but like the well-known team that wins a lot of these tournaments, right?

Speaker 1 And so we go up there and we

Speaker 1 there, the game's starting, and

Speaker 1 someone has the radar gun behind home plate. And, you know, at this point, I don't know, 12U, they're probably like, you know, you're throwing like high 50s, low 60s.
Like

Speaker 1 the kids who are throwing like pretty hard are probably in the low 60s. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Every once in a while, you get someone in the mid-60s.

Speaker 1 The pitcher is hitting low 70s, like 72, 73. And I'm not really paying close attention, but I am noticing this.
I'm like, wow, that's pretty fast.

Speaker 1 Now, there's some people who throw that, but it's pretty rare that you'd see someone in the 70s, you know, in 12U, if I'm remembering all the numbers right in ages.

Speaker 1 So after a couple of minutes, I do eventually kind of look a little bit more detail and realize the pitcher is a female. This is, you know, it's boys baseball.
It's a girl pitching.

Speaker 1 I would maybe say she's Samoan,

Speaker 1 you know, from that sort of background.

Speaker 1 What is it? A-A-P-I, Pacific Islander, maybe? Polynesian type. Maybe in that, in that world.

Speaker 1 And she's...

Speaker 1 firing it in there, man. Overhand.
Like, this is a baseball. It's not softball.
It's baseball. And she's firing it in there, and she's shutting down this other really good team.

Speaker 1 And later in the game, hits an over-the-fence home run.

Speaker 1 Wow. Over-the-fence home run.
Now, I don't know what her career looks like as she gets older because the truth is. Yeah, they'll catch up.
They're going to catch up and they're going to pass her.

Speaker 1 She was, she was a, you know, she had a lot of strength. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And at that age,

Speaker 1 sometimes you'll see that. She could play there, and she did.
And no one that I knew complained about.

Speaker 1 Nobody was pissed. It wasn't about the fact even that it was a gender crossover.
It was the competition.

Speaker 1 You're taking advantage of it.

Speaker 1 When you are a swimmer who is, you know, the worst swimmer on your team, and then you're winning national championships in the other division, that's really where I think people get more angry about it.

Speaker 1 Now, in addition to that, in a much more serious way. 13-year-olds in the 12 and under is a bigger deal.
It's a bigger deal. I would agree.
And a much bigger deal than all of this is having

Speaker 1 the man, the boy come into the girl's bathroom and change with them. That's completely ridiculous.
And obviously, when you get to that level, that's something different.

Speaker 1 But like, it's not, a lot of this is just based on fairness. Yeah.
You know, girls should be able to have areas where they can compete and win.

Speaker 1 They shouldn't always lose to some guy who's decided for a couple of weeks he's a girl.

Speaker 1 And I say that as someone who has a daughter and

Speaker 1 at some point could be a victim of that. Yeah.
Right? Yeah. And And she's in gymnastics, is the big thing she's in.
I would assume

Speaker 1 that at some point this could be something that happens. Well, that was Riley Gaines' problem.
Right.

Speaker 1 She was, and that's why she's become so prominent as a spokesperson, really, for speaking out against men competing against women.

Speaker 1 She actually

Speaker 1 was a victim of that. Yeah.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And did you see the big controversy with her and

Speaker 1 Pablo Torre over the past week? Do you know who Pablo Torre is? No. He's a guy.
He does a podcast, and it's a podcast that occasionally breaks some big news. He was the guy who broke the

Speaker 1 Clippers, Kawhi Leonard story from a few couple months ago, which was that he was taking money, which is a great story if you haven't looked at this, Pat. He was taking money from

Speaker 1 a company

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 was like a big green company that was like, you know, fake

Speaker 1 allegedly fake planting trees all over the world and taking in all this money. And then also just putting, throwing millions of dollars at Kawhi Leonard that very much looks like salary cap

Speaker 1 evasion, right? Like he, he just, he signed a contract with this, you know, green company

Speaker 1 and then never did any work for it, never even tweeted about it. Yeah.
Like, I mean, at least try to cover your tracks.

Speaker 1 Anyway, so occasionally, I think he does some interesting work, but of course, as is typical in the media, especially sports media, everybody's liberal.

Speaker 1 So he's super, super liberal and did this big supposed expose, I guess, this week on Riley Gaines. I did not hear all the details of it, but

Speaker 1 what it amounted to, at least from what I read,

Speaker 1 because it was a long podcast and I wasn't all that interested. But

Speaker 1 the allegation was that she's made money. since all of this happened.
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 She finished in fifth place and she would have, I guess, finished in fourth if it wasn't for Leah Thomas, I think, is the way that worked. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And now she's normally she wouldn't be rewarded for that, right? She wouldn't have made millions of dollars off of finish fourth, and now she's made millions of dollars, so she's bad or something.

Speaker 1 Again, I think what happened with Riley Gaines is she took a brave stand after this and made the best of a bad situation. Yeah.
Yeah, you know what? Has she made money since in speaking gigs? Sure.

Speaker 1 Of course she has. And she should.

Speaker 1 She basically took on the entire sports establishment and has been incredibly brave.

Speaker 1 handedly. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 1 the only one. And has been taking tons of death threats and harassment over it constantly online.
And she spoke her mind and she said, this is unfair.

Speaker 1 And not only that, she's improved the situation for people like my daughter who might not have to face that situation because she took that stand. I'm glad she made a lot of money off of it.

Speaker 1 We should be incentivizing that type of behavior.

Speaker 1 Again, she made money on it because she became famous, because she stood up and with no promise at all of making money, spoke her mind. Right.
Could have gone the other way. It's not a controversy.

Speaker 1 It would have been easily gone.

Speaker 1 Where she could have been shunned at every turn. Most that did happen to a lot of people who did that.
Yeah. And it has over time.
The fact that she was able to come out and make,

Speaker 1 she wound up instead of going into whatever she was going to go into as a normal job, because probably it wasn't going to, you know, swimming is not one of those things where you're making millions of dollars unless you're Michael Phelps.

Speaker 1 Right. So she winds up going into a normal job probably if this doesn't happen.
But, you know, it did happen.

Speaker 1 And she was able to be very brave, very smart. Like you can also do this in the wrong way.
You come out and say the wrong thing and even your side bails on you. She didn't.
She did this the right way.

Speaker 1 She's spoken up bravely for a long time.

Speaker 1 This is a great success story, something where she was targeted for something that she was wronged. She overcame it.
She spoke out about it and has made it.

Speaker 1 And people wanted to hear from her from her. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nothing wrong with that. That's a great story.
It's not a bad one. Yeah.
Triple 8, 727, BECK. War coming up in a minute.

Speaker 2 With the war in Ukraine, we've heard about a lot of people in both countries who are living through the nightmare of war.

Speaker 2 But there are also elderly Jewish people who are also trapped in this conflict, facing unbearable poverty. Galena is a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor who has spent her life in the same village.

Speaker 2 She's sick, she's alone, and it's bitter cold. And today, like every day, she has to decide whether to spend what little money she has on on food or medication or heating.

Speaker 2 The Bible tells us when you bless elderly Jews living in poverty like Galena, you'll receive blessings in return.

Speaker 2 Through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and your generous donation, you can bring hope to the people in need.

Speaker 2 Your gift of just $25 will help provide a food box packed full of life-saving essentials that will help feed an elderly person struggling to survive. Don't delay.

Speaker 2 Your gift today will help provide the life-saving food and hope that Galena and many like her desperately need. To rush your gift, call 888-488-IFCJ.

Speaker 2 That's 888-488-4325 or give online at glennforthefellowship.org. That's glenforthefellowship.org.

Speaker 1 It's Pat and Stewart for Glenn, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Speaker 1 So, Campbell's Soup. Did you see what the executive at Campbell's Soup had to say about Campbell's soup the other day? I did not.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I am not even up to date at all about Campbell's soup and the news revolving around Campbell's soup. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he was talking about how it's genetically modified ingredients. Okay.
And

Speaker 1 that the chicken is

Speaker 1 essentially laboratory grown. In the audio, it's really.

Speaker 1 Is it hot mic type of thing? It is. Yeah.
Yeah. Somebody recorded him in a meeting where he was saying um

Speaker 1 we have

Speaker 1 stuff is the word i'll use for effing poor people who buys our stuff no no i don't buy campbell's products barely at all anymore it's not healthy now that i know what the heck is in it uh so he's talking about

Speaker 1 bioengineered meat I don't want to eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I'm thinking he's probably not long for a Campbell Soup position.

Speaker 1 No. I'm pretty sure they're not going to love him from now on.

Speaker 1 But are they bioengineered? The meat? Is it bioengineered? The chicken at like in chicken soup? I don't know, but he said it is.

Speaker 1 A spokesperson for the company said, we're proud of the food we make. the people who make it and the high quality ingredients that we make it with.

Speaker 1 The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate, they are patently absurd.

Speaker 1 So they seem to be denying that it's bioengineered, but he didn't specifically say our chicken is not bioengineered here. It's not grown in a lab.

Speaker 1 Bizarre story. It is a bizarre story.
So

Speaker 1 I've never heard an executive at a company like this go off on the product at that company. I don't think

Speaker 1 that I know of that I can remember that this has ever happened before.

Speaker 1 The suit was filed by Robert Garza. This is a result of a lawsuit.
Yeah. Okay.
Hired by Campbell's as a cybersecurity analyst in September 2024. Garza alleges that Campbell's executive, Martin Bally,

Speaker 1 made the offensive remarks during a meeting in November 2024,

Speaker 1 which was

Speaker 1 to discuss his salary. Right, yeah.
Garza informed his manager about the comments, but the manager did not encourage him to report the incident. Garza was then abruptly terminated from employment.

Speaker 1 So that's what causes this lawsuit. James Regan, Campbell's spokesperson, said the company was not aware of the recording before it aired on WDIV on Thursday, does not know if it's legitimate.

Speaker 1 Bally is one of the many vice presidents, so vice president of Campbell's.

Speaker 1 But this is the other statement they released. They said the person alleged to be speaking on the recording works in IT and has nothing to do with how we make our food.
Yeah, I love that. I love that.

Speaker 1 But But he said it's on the label. So I haven't checked a Kimpbell soup lately.
So this says crap on the label?

Speaker 1 This is crap for poor people on every label? I don't think it says that. No.

Speaker 1 Whether it says it's bioengineered because you're supposed to have to put that on the label, I doubt that that's on the label.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 Holiday time is high crime season, but not all crime should be addressed the same way. According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less less than 1% of the time.

Speaker 2 Burna covers the other 99% of altercations with the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. So next time you think you need lethal force, think of Burna.

Speaker 2 Start with Burna, B-Y-R-N-A. I carry one myself.
I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Burna launcher.

Speaker 2 The new Burna Compact is the world's smallest, less lethal pistol, concealable anywhere. It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes.

Speaker 2 With 60 feet of range, you can confidently and effectively de-escalate a situation without the use of lethal force.

Speaker 2 No background checks, legal in all 50 states, ship straight to your door, and Burna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

Speaker 2 Visit Burna Byrna.com and find the right launcher for your family. BYRNA.com, that's Burna.com.

Speaker 1 What's really going on with the banks, the border, and your kids' school? Find out at Glennbeck.com.

Speaker 1 That's what Campbell's soup folk did.

Speaker 1 Let me be clear too, by the way, this Campbell's soup story. It's a lawsuit from a disgruntled employee.

Speaker 1 Now, are they alleging maybe that that was AI?

Speaker 1 I have not heard that defense. They are saying that they don't know.
They're not aware of the treatment. They don't know if it's real.

Speaker 1 So it makes it sound like it might have been

Speaker 1 AI. But even they're saying even the person alleged to be saying it has nothing to do with the food production, which is kind of,

Speaker 1 of course, any of these organizations have people who.

Speaker 1 Of course, you can find an employee that doesn't like what the company is doing. That is disgruntled? Yes, that's

Speaker 1 That's not all that notable. So, again, if you like Campbell's soup, you're probably going to be fine.

Speaker 1 It's fine. Still, it is kind of a crazy story.
I've eaten a lot of Campbell's soup in my life.

Speaker 1 Used to eat their chunky soup all the time. Oh, that's right.
They make that. Delicious.
Yeah. Delicious.
It used to be every single day.

Speaker 1 When I was single, that's what I lived on, was Campbell's chunky soup. Yeah.
You were single at one point. I was.
I feel like you were married at birth. That's in my mind.
That was.

Speaker 1 You just got to arranged marriage now

Speaker 1 Yeah. At birth, and it's just been ever since.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's how I'm sure that it feels like to her.
40 years. Yeah, it feels like that to her.
She's like, oh, gosh. 40 years.
Wait, this year, 40 years? Yeah, 40. Wow, congratulations.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 That's a big achievement. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's really amazing. It really is.

Speaker 1 Did you already have your anniversary? We did. What did you guys do?

Speaker 1 We went out to dinner, and that was about it.

Speaker 1 You are. Like, we've done this 40 times.
You know?

Speaker 1 How many? Well, you did it, if I remember right, have a big trip recently. Didn't you go away for, was it a Mexican

Speaker 1 something? Yes, we went to Mexico. It wasn't related to the anniversary.
No, it wasn't. No, but it's

Speaker 1 related to it. It could have related to it.
You should say, by the way. It relates to it now.
By the way, that was in advance of the anniversary that's coming up. That's what we're going to Mexico.

Speaker 1 Next time you talk about that trip and be like, hey, remember on our anniversary trip when we blah blah blah. She'd be like, what do you mean your anniversary trip?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, that was part of our anniversary. Oh, did I not say? Come on.
You know that was incredible. Part of our anniversary trip celebration together.
Because

Speaker 1 we went to Disney and Universal, too,

Speaker 1 this year. So

Speaker 1 we've done a ton, a ton of stuff. So

Speaker 1 we covered it.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? We covered it. Wow, the romance from you, Pat.
It's incredible. It's impressive.
It's impressive.

Speaker 1 It's incredible. Well,

Speaker 1 are you thinking about...

Speaker 1 Are you the type of person that has a Christmas gift picked out, thought about yet for the wife? Are you in that? That hasn't even crossed my mind yet.

Speaker 1 It's not even crossed my mind. Hey, honey, remember when we went on that Christmas trip to Mexico?

Speaker 1 That Christmas anniversary trip. Christmas anniversary.
Yeah. You remember this great trip that I got for you back then?

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, you could go take care of this on Black Friday. We do have the Black Friday sale going on, by the way, at Glenbeck.com.

Okay.

Speaker 1 Black Friday is one of those things that bothers me every year because there is a slew of stories.

Speaker 1 I've already read a couple of them that are complaining about how more stores are open on Black Friday.

Speaker 1 They're complaining about that? Yeah, they're always like, oh, these stores are open on Black Friday. They're starting to open on Thanksgiving.
Yeah. And we can't have them opening on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 People are all, it's all about commerce and no one's spending time with their families. And

Speaker 1 how dare they? These stores open on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 And I get it. The sentiment, there's some part of it I like, right?

Speaker 1 We should want to spend time with our families instead of going out

Speaker 1 and spending money at a store. I get the concept behind that, but I feel like it really does not, that argument does not encapsulate the actual real world.

Speaker 1 Number one, what if you don't like your family?

Speaker 1 Okay, right?

Speaker 1 You know, it's nice if you have a family. I have a family I really love spending time with.
Not everybody has that.

Speaker 1 A lot of people think their family sucks. And if your family sucks, getting out of the house and going to a store might be a great thing.
Yeah. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Secondarily, you know, a lot of people might not have this big family Thanksgiving. Maybe to them, getting double and triple pay for a holiday is something they're happy about.
Right.

Speaker 1 Yes, I understand some people people might be thinking to themselves, I don't want to go to work on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, and I'd much rather stay home with my family.

Speaker 1 And I'm sure those people do exist.

Speaker 1 However, there's a lot of people on the other side of that too, who are thinking, I'd like to work an eight-hour shift and get paid for

Speaker 1 20 hours or 24 hours. That sounds great.

Speaker 1 And we never think about them. And then I also don't understand why

Speaker 1 retail employees are the only people who get this benefit. Like, I want to turn my lights on on Thanksgiving.
At some point, the sun will go down, and I want to turn my lights on.

Speaker 1 There's plenty of people at the power company who still have to go to work, and no one cares about them at all.

Speaker 1 No one cares about any, it's only retail employees we care about having on Thanksgiving. The people who work at,

Speaker 1 you know, I flip on the football game. All the people working at the stadium, we don't care about them at all.
We don't. We don't care.
Screw those people. They have to go to work.
Screw them.

Speaker 1 Screw the people who work at the television station that's covering it and bringing it in your house. Screw them.
Screw the people at the power company.

Speaker 1 Screw the people at the heating company that are heating your home during Thanksgiving. All those people, they don't get to see their families in the poor.

Speaker 1 Who are making mere millions playing the football game? Yes. They're working on Thanksgiving as well.
I would say, you know, some people have made this point. Modern day slavery.

Speaker 1 That's what we're talking about.

Speaker 1 That's what it is. You should be able to make your own choice as to whether you go to work or not.

Speaker 1 And if the people require you to go to work and you don't want to, you have the right to go find another job. But the company does not have to coddle you for your holidays.

Speaker 1 I know that sounds bad, but it's like the truth is, if they find that it's good for their business and they want to do it, they should be able to.

Speaker 1 If a company is employee focused and thinks, you know what, we're going to sacrifice some profits on Thanksgiving and we want our employees to be able to stay home.

Speaker 1 That might be something that works for them.

Speaker 1 Though I will say there are a lot of employees who are thinking to themselves, you know, actually, I don't know, fat Uncle Dave, I'd rather, much rather just be at work and make a bunch of money, especially when they're going to pay me holiday pay, than spend another time hearing some conspiracy theory from fat Uncle Dave.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 1 You know, he's the one that's telling me that Trump is a fascist Russian asset. I don't want to hear any more stories from Uncle Dave.

Speaker 1 I just want to go to work. I'd much rather be there and deal with sane people who are coming out to buy things on the holiday and wanting to get away from their families.

Speaker 1 So, I just feel like every year we get these stories about how evil commerce is.

Speaker 1 The bottom line of this is: it's an anti-capitalist pitch. It's supposed to make all these companies look mean.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the fact that you want to go out and spend money on a holiday is up to you.

Speaker 1 We should not make that decision for companies, employees, shoppers.

Speaker 1 I don't understand why we feel the need to jump into everybody else's business every Thanksgiving and tell people whether they should be allowed to open their stores or not.

Speaker 1 I was against that during COVID, and I'm against it again. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a good point. It's a good point.
Have you noticed also that on Black Friday, it doesn't really start at four in the morning anymore?

Speaker 1 Or if it does,

Speaker 1 I mean, Jackie's not part of that. She used to be.
She used to like to get up and go early. Yeah.
I don't hear about that. Maybe it's just our family.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Does Lisa get up and go to the store at four in the morning? I don't remember her ever doing it. I did have my aunt and my grandma used to do it really early, like before I would get up.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you're going to be able to do it. I don't think that's a thing much anymore because the sale lasts all day and you just keep it going.

Speaker 1 As we've seen with the scam of a Black Friday sale from Glenbeck.com, it's currently Wednesday. That's true.
I mean, almost every

Speaker 1 product we talked about today, doing commercials and stuff, they have Black Friday things going on. They do it early.
And they also, so much of the stuff is online now. That's true.

Speaker 1 You know, the overwhelming majority of people don't like rush out to the stores to wait in line to buy that one product anymore, I guess. But it's still a huge shopping day.

Speaker 1 It's still the biggest shopping day of the year. I will say that Kexie cookies go on sale on Black Friday.
You didn't scam people. Did not scam people.
It is not, it's not happening today.

Speaker 1 So you're saying today you're going to pay like triple. You're going to pay.
Today they're hiring the prices.

Speaker 1 They're raising

Speaker 1 them. You'll pay $300 a box today.
Today. But on Friday, you'll get 20% off.
Okay. And Cyber Monday.
Monday. And then I think we announce a whole bunch of sales.
So you like lightning sales.

Speaker 1 So you can check that out online. You can sign up for those.

Speaker 1 No, but we're waiting until Friday. Where would you go to sign up for something like that? Well, you'd go to kexi.com, K-E-K-S-I.com.
The best cookies.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 They're awesome. I will say awesome.
And you will be the star of any holiday party.

Speaker 1 If you do, as I say.

Speaker 1 And Pat, I have a recommendation for your company right now. Okay.

Speaker 1 I want you to think about this. I want you to internalize it.
I want you to think about maybe going along and making this product. Okay.

Speaker 1 An official Kexie cookie cookie splitter.

Speaker 1 It's a good idea. Where it's like a circle.
Yeah. And you go down, you press down on it.
Like I have one of them for apples. Do you have the apple thing? I do.
I love that thing.

Speaker 1 It goes into a million different slices. Right.

Speaker 1 Make one of those for Kexie, and you put it on top of the cookie. Wouldn't need to cord the cookie.
You wouldn't need to core the cookie.

Speaker 1 Although, not a bad idea, because then the person making the cuts can just eat the cores and then just put out the slices. But cut it into like four slices.

Speaker 1 I would say if you want to make an eight optional, I would consider it.

Speaker 1 Because sometimes it's even better to have you can do one eighth of the cookie, but at least one quarters. Okay.
And

Speaker 1 send these to people with the cookies. You know, like a little upcharge or something.

Speaker 1 I would totally pay the upcharge. I like it.
Because you go there, because what I wind up doing, and this is going to make you a star of every holiday party, you buy a box of Kexie cookies.

Speaker 1 They come in. You cut them into fourths with either the Kexie-provided cookie cutter or your own knife or cookie cutter of your own.
And then you make them in a nice little platter.

Speaker 1 You arrange them in a nice little platter situation so that people can come up and just sample a bunch of different flavors.

Speaker 1 You will be the star of every holiday party. A really good idea.
It is awesome. I like it.

Speaker 1 And if this happens, a small kickback to me for each one sold would be appropriate. I'm just saying because it's my idea and it's now on national radio.
People know.

Speaker 1 Works.

Speaker 1 it works for me. There you go.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it wasn't a commitment, it wasn't really a commitment there. That's unfortunate, but I do think that didn't feel like an absolute hardcore commitment on my part.
No, huh? That's weird.

Speaker 1 It didn't feel contractual.

Speaker 1 That's really weird. Oh, no, oh no, not untrue, but very weird.

Speaker 1 The wise man once said, Trust in God and always keep watch on the gate. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.

I just got her one of those.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's Pat and Stupergled today. We started the hour talking about the strongest woman in the world who was a man.

Speaker 1 And when the

Speaker 1 competition officials found that out,

Speaker 1 they disqualified that person and gave the title to the runner-up.

Speaker 1 Well, Tish Hyman

Speaker 1 confronted Eric Swalwell, who is about to run for governor. He's already basically running for governor of California.
And there is a woman named Tish Hyman who is speaking out on behalf of women

Speaker 1 and saying that, you know, trans people, men, don't belong in women's locker rooms and in women's sports and so on. And she wasn't well received early by Eric Swalwell.
Check this out. It's cut sex.

Speaker 1 Are there going to be men allowed in the women's room anymore? We need to know. No woman should be harassed in a locker room.
That's all. Answer straight.
Are there going to be women?

Speaker 1 Are you against men in women's locker rooms and sports? That's all you need to answer. I'm telling you, I know

Speaker 1 men will arise in a woman's locker room. I know.
That should not happen. It's happening all around America.

Speaker 1 There are 45 men in the women's prisons right now, raping them, kicking them out like chicken. But

Speaker 1 men are not women, and they're raping women. So I don't care if you're on the Democrat side, the Republican side.
We need to be on the women's side, people. It's happening to our girls.

Speaker 1 It's happening to our women. And I'm here to let everyone know that this is happening.
Open your eyes.

Speaker 1 You don't know it. I have millions of people behind black people who they're using our civil rights to push this.

Speaker 1 If you want to be the governor, you need to do something about it because I promise you this. I will not be the last to see a titch hype, okay?

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 1 All right? I want to know about you. You might have somebody.

Speaker 1 So great.

Speaker 1 There are no trans kids. There are just children.
Stop transforming children. No one can make a decision that young.
When I was talking about the children, this is utterly fantastic. Isn't that great?

Speaker 1 So great. It's wrong.
It's wrong. It's abuse.

Speaker 1 Don't trans children.

Speaker 1 It's abuse.

Speaker 1 Trans kids. It's so great.

Speaker 1 There's only men and women. Use your brains.
Stop with this. Maliking.

Speaker 1 That is fantastic. I mean, what a brave woman to go into that crowd who are obviously Eric Swalwell supporters and be so strong and so confident about what she's saying there.
It's just fantastic.

Speaker 1 First of all, Pat, I have to fact-check you here. There's probably 75, 80 people in this room.
There's no way they're all Eric Swalwell supporters.

Speaker 1 There are no way. I hope you're right.
I really hope you're right. I mean, he's not.
First, he's so stupid. There's no way he's going to win that race, is he? I mean, a Democrat.

Speaker 1 Who else is going to win? There's other Democrats that are more prominent than Eric Swalwell that are already in the race.

Speaker 1 I don't remember who they are, but they're hopefully going to beat him.

Speaker 1 Isn't Katie Porter in that race? There's a couple of people in that race. Yeah, I think she is.

Speaker 1 But I don't think Eric Swalwell is going to win. He's also America's dumbest congressman.

Speaker 1 But she's great.

Speaker 1 Awesome. And she just takes over the event.
She's

Speaker 1 because she's hosting. That was fantastic.

Speaker 1 All right, well, all right, well, have a great Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.
