The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. How does it help or what problem does it solve? That's what you should ask yourself when your lawmakers get together and they're like, hey, we're going to do this, we're going to pass this law, we've got this piece of legislation. You have to ask, how does it help or what problem does it solve? How does it make your life better?

You got a legislator. It doesn't matter if it's a state level, federal level. It doesn't matter if it's your local town council. What is this doing to make my life better? And what problem does it solve? If you ask that question, you'll realize that quite often neither. So there must be some other motivation. That motivation usually is it's making their life better

because they're either getting money in their pocket or they're getting more money for their coffers to make their job easier that they can just go ahead and spend a bunch of money and make stuff go away. Hey there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today, regularly to heard on the morning. Blaze, joining me, Brad Staggs, Chris Cruz, and also Cal. I bring this up because the city of Glendale, Alabama, has passed an ordinance that now requires this summer

teens to get a license if they want to mow lawns. What? If you want to simply mow lawns to make a little side cash, you have to get a license from the city. So you're saying that, say, 14, 16 year old kid. I can't be like... Knock, knock, knock, no.

Hey, can I move along, Mr. Thompson? No. Well, you can do that as long as you get a license from the city first. Officer Brad is going to come to him and said, hey, you have your license? Not only would Officer Brad do that. They're already enforcing it. They've already approached kids and demanded to see their papers,

demanded to see their license. And you will be fined if not. The license is $110. Well, there goes to kids. entire profits. Right. Am I right? I mean, if you're, well, first of all, Cal, our producer from our show, he doesn't understand mowing lawns.

It's new to him. He relocated to Texas. Yeah. I get you don't want to pay for it. Cal recently relocated to Dallas and didn't know that when you own a home that grass grew. The grass grows, apparently. And you have to actually pay for it. No, no, no.

It's renting. I'm renting. I'm usually, I'm from, you know, up north you rent. You don't have to deal with landscape. Now I'm renting a house. But you're renting a whole house and you have to. I'm responsible for landscaping. Okay, so Cal, you've been looking at lawn mowing services and what type of price range are you looking at?

You know, I'd like to spend maybe $10.10 tops. No, that's what you want to spend. What are they charged? Apparently nobody's agreeing to that. So I've ever seen everywhere from $30 to mow, you know, and have a significant front and backyard. I was looking recently as well. I take care of my lawn. It's not a problem.

But occasionally if I'm traveling or I'm doing different work, I don't get in in that week and you know how your neighbors are if it doesn't. So I'm like, look. And yeah, it's around 30 to 50 if they're regular. Wait a minute. You have a wife. Why doesn't she do it? Because she has a husband.

Oh. That's how that works in my house. But what is the advantage of having a neighborhood kid do it, that you don't pay as much. $30 to $50. Yep. So what are you going to pay then? You're going to pay them $10, $15, $20 to mow this or whatever. If it's $110 and you're making $20 a lawn, you've got to mow $5.5.

bonds before you even break even on the license? So, I ask again, what good does this do? What problem does it solve? It solves those rogue kids. Out there mowing lawns and null the pie in the city. Yeah, you can't have that. This was sponsored by all the guys who own the lawn mowing services. And there it is.

That's who likely did this. But what problem does it solve there? Well, it gives them more opportunities for clients, obviously. Right. It solves there. It gets rid of the competition. But it doesn't solve my problem. But it doesn't solve the problems of everybody else in the city.

How many people own lawn mowing services versus everybody else? I'm guessing it's less than 1% of official that would be supporting something like this. But they scream loudest. Right. And this is not just about lawn mowing. This is everything. You see this with every business out there. Uber. Taxis and Uber.

Right. Trying to protect themselves with this. When you other lawn mowing services, dirt bags, in Glendale, Alabama, if you own one and you support this business license and the mayor and the town council, how dare you? How dare you say you want to enforce some piece of legislation to push your competition out of existence? We're trying to keep the kids safe. You know, those lawnmowers, these go rocks and stuff and we can't have that happening to our kids. Yeah, that's really, that's what they're going to, that's the other angle. They'll say it's about safety or whatever. But how dare you do it? If you can't stand on your service

and be competitive with the kid down the street, you're doing it wrong. This is the crony capitalism on a micro scale in Glendale, Alabama. Or, I'm sorry, Gardendale, Alabama, Gardendale, Alabama. Which is close to Glendale. Very. It's like one town away. Suburb. One of the way.

What's the next paper boys got to get a license? Right? All of them would, Cal. Girl Scout cookies? They already do. They already do, yeah. You know the license? I'm pretty sure that you have to have a license if you're going to have any.

Send up by the troop. So this helps a couple of people in favor of everybody else. Yeah. This is your priority. This is something that you think is important. It's not just about the license. It's not just about the kid that has to pay and work all of those extra hours. Where does the money go then?

First of all, as we said, first of all, as Jeffrey would say, first of all. Spirit of Jeffrey. It is to push these kids out of business, discourage it in favor of the other people. Where does the money go then? It goes to the city. So you need the money from the kids mowing lawns. And I don't care if it was only one kid mowing lawns or a thousand kids mowing lawns out there.

This is not good. You need the taxes in that town? This is your plan. Your big plan to pay for city services is, we'll tax the kids mowing lawns. And let's go after that little bastard boy too. He made $14 last week. Next, they're going to start cracking down on lemonade stands.

We've seen that. They did that a couple years ago here in Texas. You have to get what's the food safety course in order to make lemonade. Right. Across the board, professional license. I can't believe I'm saying that when it comes to a kid mowing lawns. But that's in the vein of professional licensing. States, cities, they have them.

States have all kinds of crazy professional license rules. Hair breeding. Yeah, in some states, you have to have a license to braid hair. Some states just have to have it to cut hair. Some states you have to have a license for interior decorating. Some to groom dogs. Meanwhile, other states you don't have to. Locksmithing.

This is completely in the face of anything capitalism, capitalistic, anything that's good. Competition is good. Free market is good. Professional licenses. And I'm not even talking doctors or lawyers where you could say, hey, this is life altering if they screw this thing up or life ending. We're talking about things that are not. dangerous. Well, right, but you should be like, if you're going to be an interior decorator,

you should be licensed because you start breaking the rule of threes. I mean, you're going to have houses. Isn't it something called it Fonseway? Fung Sway. Yeah, you need to write Fonswe. Either way. I think that's a small poodle from Asia. In Puerto Rico, it's Fonchue.

Yeah, it's Fonchre in Puerto Rico, yeah. It's used exclusively to keep people out. You have a group of people that say, hey, we went through this process, the experience, whatever it is, built up our business. and now we're trying to protect it by going to our legislators using our power to try to legislate our competition out of business, where what you should be doing is saying with our experience and the business that we've built up and everything else, we do it better and cheaper. Because if you cannot do it better and cheaper, you should fail.

If you cannot be competitive on your own in a business without legislation, your business not only would fail, It should fail. It must fail. Our entire country is founded on that premise. That if you are not as good, it should fail in favor of something that is better. And by the way, failure is a lesson. This stuff drives me up the wall. So I'm doing a couple of research on professional licensing. Mississippi already has a licensing for mowing lawns, but they call it the Mississippi State Board of Archiecles. architecture. Thank you. And it says the mission is to protect the

public's life, health, and property throughout the regulation of professions of archico, oh my gosh. Architecture. Architecture. Thank you. Landscape and the certification of interior design. So they have it for interior design as well. Yes, but in order to be a landscaper, you have to have interior design. Wouldn't that be exterior design? That's what I'm saying. You know, that's where feng shui comes in because your inside has to be balanced with your outside. Did you do

odd jobs or mow lawns or shovel drives or anything like that? We had to do it covertly so the cops wouldn't get it. Did you have any jobs like that? When I came to Florida, I think it was 2000, I was doing more lawns, the neighbors. So like 10 bucks at least. What am I asking? You're Hispanic. Of course, you were doing that in Florida. Okay, that's a little racist.

I mowed lawns as a kid too, though. I'm a white guy. And we did that and we shovel drives. We went and did this stuff. That's what you do. We've got this notion that somehow, These are, it's like the fight for 15 crowd, that the McDonald's worker jobs are supposed to be careers and profession. Yes, there are people that do some of these services like mowing lawns as a business, and that's fine. You want to hire people, you don't, whatever. But most of the jobs are not supposed to be careers.

You're not supposed to do this. No one is expecting you to go out and make a livable wage where you can raise six kids and put them through college on working at McDonald's for four hours a day. It's not supposed to happen. a fundamental breakdown in understanding with this stuff. And it's not good for us. The mayor of Gardendale, Alabama said, I would love to have something on our books that gave a more favorable response

to that student out there cutting grass and see if there's maybe a temporary license during the summer months that targets teenagers as opposed to the whatever. That is the temporary license, I think. It is. I mean, it's the license. Right, it probably applies to the other services as well.

The business owners are people out there. What good is it to you? I mean, what purpose would the temporary license serve? Nothing. No, it just gives you a free pass for the three months. Money for the city. I guess it would discourage them a little bit. Would the temporary one be less money?

It should be. How embarrassing? How embarrassing for this? Stan Hougland, H-O-G-E-Land, and the town council and the people of Gardendale, Alabama, and you other lawnmowering services out there, One guy said if he saw one of the kids out there mowing again without a license, he was planning and called the cops on him.

You got to be kidding me. How embarrassing for you, this is your thing? Hey, we've got the children's safety. I already told you we have the children's safety in mind. Is everything else perfect in Gardendale, Alabama? Have you solved all other problems? This was the thing. This is what you're left with.

How about the cop out there? One out of them 12, one out of 12. See the man, see the man. You're in. Yeah. Honey, today? Bobby Smith is up the loan. I took him down, honey.

You did? I took him down. A big drug dealer, right? Well, it wasn't, it wasn't, it was, Bobby was mowing the lawn. Okay, and he had drugs on his lawn, right? No, no, he didn't have a license. A license? Yeah, he didn't have a license on it.

I took that little son of a gun down. The SWAT team came in. Sweetie, I'm proud of you. I'm really proud of you. That is one rogue kid that he took up to take him down. Come on. Or did you. All right.

All right. We're going to open up the phone lines in a minute. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. It's AAA 727 Beck. You can also tweet at us. It's at Doc Thompson's show on Twitter. At Real Chris Cruz, at the Blaze Brad, and at Cal 79. Back with some more on the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Taking Gardendale, Alabama to task this morning. But they're not alone. All over the country, there's crazy rules and regulations when it comes to professional license. And it's done exclusively to either make money for the city, the state, whatever, and or to simply keep people from that profession to protect the people that are already in that profession. The slobiest.

See, let's say you became a groomer of tufted titmouses. Okay. Tufted titmouse. That's a professional. When you open up the business, excuse me, it's tufted titmouses. If you're talking plural, it's tufted titmouses. No, when it comes to tufted tit mouses. No, it's, do you know what a tufted titmouse is?

Of course I do. Okay, it's not tipped titmice, just so you know. So you open the tufted titmouse grooming service, right? And you didn't have any license. You didn't have any whatever. You just started to do them, and you're doing it real well. And the manure spirit lives in here. Right.

And then Brad says, hey, I think I could do that. That grooming tufted tit mice sounds, I'm sorry, mouses, sounds really interesting. Maybe I'll get on that. You don't want the competition. You lobby, put her the money in the pockets of legislators. You put up the professional tufted titmise. mouse licensing standard that has to be there that says he has to now go to school. You didn't have to go to school. It discourages him because you have in some of these licenses years of school

for something like interior design. That what's the problem if you come in and someone screws up your interior decorating? Is it life or death? Anybody going to get hurt? It is for some people. You break that rule of threes. Because here's the thing. There is a way you can simply not pay the bill. You could dispute that. It's it's contract. actual then. So Brad's an interior designer. Comes to my house. I don't like it. I say, I'm not going to pay for that. Or he says, we have a contract. Yes, you are. And you simply go to civil court. That's all. And you're not going to get a lot more jobs. That's the other thing. Then there's... Word of mouth. Sarah the gypsy tweeting at Doc Thompson show, I'm so glad the

Revolutionary War was fought so our teens have to have licenses to Mo. That's what they were out there for, Sarah. People dying on the battlefield. They're crossing the Delaware going some day kids will have to have a license to mow lawns. You have to have three years training as to be a locksmith in New Jersey, three years training before. Training what? Like, shadow somebody? Apparently. Isn't there pretty much a pass fail on locksmith? Either you open the door, you don't. Or you don't, right? I mean, it's not even subjective. Interior design, it's, I don't like the blue wall. I like the blue wall. I like the blue wall. I like the blue wall. Yeah. It's whatever you pick. And by the way, for the record, Glenn did a

fabulous job. Did he have a license? I'm thinking, do you have a license? I don't know if you have to be. Actually, this was an unlicensed job. And now that people know, uh, yeah, pretty much. He's a scab in his studio here. But when it comes to locksmithing, did you get in? Okay. Yeah. There it is. There is. Does the lock work when you changed him? There it is. Have a good day. Words going to get around if you're not good at it. So holy moly, you could have to have a license to get a locksmith. Where was that what's say? That is in New Jersey. In New Jersey. You You could be a licensed locksmith does not do the job. I call you up.

You can't get me in the house, and it's a fail. And you could have an unlicensed one who can do the job. He's illegal. Yep. The one who didn't do the job had the license, but is perfectly legal. Wow. Well, you got in the set of Mississippi, you also have tattoo artists have to get a license. A lot of them do.

They can even argue that's a medical thing. Right. Okay. But also body piercing. Okay, a medical thing, but these are two separate licenses. Two separate licenses for the same thing. Well, for a person that does most of the work, because I went to a tattoo artist, and he was tattooing my finger. And then he said, hey, once a second, I just kind of pierced his girl's ears, and then came right back.

Okay. You have to go through 756 hours of training and pay a $650 license fee in Tennessee to be an auctioneer. Well. You got to go to go. Right. Just to say that. I think pretty much if you could just say that, you're in. Yeah.

I mean, that's the standard for me. You can't teach that. That is a natural skill. Matthew tweeting at Doc Thompson's show. When you live in Gardendale, Alabama, you take your landscaping seriously. Too seriously. Sheldon tweeting, first they came for the lemonade stands, and I said nothing, because I don't operate a lemonade stand. Then they came for the mowers, and I said nothing because I'm not a mower. And then when they came for the interior designers, there was nobody left to speak for me.

Political porn tweeting, what bothers me the most is that mowing, shoveling, et cetera, develops an early capitalist work ethic in kids. Is that part of it? Maybe not in Gardendale. Maybe it is. But in some cases, I would think, yeah, they don't want this because they don't want them to learn to be capitalists. They don't want them to be self-sufficient. It's simply, rely on the government.

Let them help you. You don't have to worry about doing it. Someone else can do it. And they're not inside playing Xbox or PlayStation. They're out getting fresh air. You're right. That's another good angle of this thing. If you're if you're discouraging them from mowing

You're saying hey go back inside and do something that we keep telling them is bad that you're inside too much Sleeve did it tweeting Gardendale dad Junior mow the lawn Junior I can't I'm unlicensed Now you created good excuses for the kids That's true you could it sounds because one of the crew members says what if I want to pay A kid that is my son to mow the lawn are they going to find me because of that I don't know I don't know I don't know how the ordinance is written, theoretically

this one or some of them could just say if you pay anybody. So I'm actually kind of in favor of that as a parent I'm going to say, it's a good way to get rid of a deadbeat kid. Send him out to mow the lawn and have the cops take him away. You don't have to beat him. I was thinking of that or you just don't pay the cake. You know, I'd love to pay you son. Yeah. I'd love to pay you

want daddy to go to jail? You don't know. Do you want daddy to go to jail right now? Or you to get the kid to go to, he's the one who doesn't have the license. It's not you going to jail. Listen, son, I'm protecting you by not paying you to mow the lawn. Get out there and mow the lawn. There's definitely an angle in there for both me as the dad or when I was a kid if you have a good enough line of BS. Doc Thompson in the morning blaze in for Glenn today. Thanks so

much for joining us. Get the tweets in at Doc Thompson Show or AAA 727 Beck. Your comments coming up next. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury. This is the Glenn Beck program. I have lots of people commenting on Twitter about the story where Gardendale, Alabama, now requires kids to get a lawn mowing license. It just sounds silly. I know it's a smaller story in the grand scale of what's going on. We got a lot more stuff to get to today. But I think this is one small example of the craziness that is. And for a lot of people out there that claim they're capitalists because they have businesses, they're really not if you're requiring licenses or

you push or support licenses. This has been a failure over the past couple of decades, really, really the last 10 years or so, where the occupiers have arguments. and primarily wrong with their philosophies. But they do make a couple of good points that people on the right do not explain or address. The first is where they say capitalism is a problem. It's not capitalism as a problem. It's what they believe is capitalism.

They believe that corporate America equals capitalism. It does not. There are corporations and businesses in America that act in a capitalistic nature, take part in capitalism, certain parts. and also support the true ideas of a free market, but there are many that do not. When you, as a big company, or even a small company,

use your power, money, influence to change the free market to protect your company. That may be good for your company, but it is not free market. And some of the things that happen with the TARP situation and the meltdown of 2008 and the bailing out of banks that was pushed through first by George W. Bush and supported by Obama later and more of that type of stuff,

that was not capitalism. And there were a lot of capitalists out there that said, we must save the free market. Too big to fail. It's too big to fail. It'll all go down. Sorry, guys, if it fails, it fails. As painful as that would be,

it was the right thing to do because it's free market. And as awful as things are at times when the market falls apart, that's what's supposed to happen. Over the last, but really since probably, the stock market crash of 29. They have tried more and more to regulate the markets. And the idea is this, well, we don't want people to suffer if bad things happen in the market. Okay, I don't want people to suffer.

Right. But when the market falls apart, when you limit it from falling apart and collapsing, you also limit the potential upsides. You are supposed to save, be smart, and take care of, future bad problems during good times. When you have really fatty times, when you've got an abundance, you're supposed to put it away. I mean, didn't we learn that from Joseph?

Right? In the Bible, you learn it. You got good years on the way. You've got to save for the lean times, right? That's what's supposed to happen. I mean, it teaches that in the Bible for Pete's sake. But instead, they want to regulate it and have this constant, steady uptick that cannot happen. All you're doing is muting potential upsides and stringing out the bads. still happened 2008 as an example. We had the stock market crash of, I think it was 87, the fall of

87. These things happen. All you're doing is screwing with it. So the occupiers, the people on the left out there that talk about capitalism being bad. It's not capitalism. It's the people that claim to be capitalists that are really cronists. Free markets work. They're volatile at times. They're supposed to be volatile, but we're supposed to understand them. Yes, most people do not, people are not responsible. You know how you learn responsibility? Pain. That's how you learn it. I suffered. As Christians or people of faith, you're also supposed to say, hey, I'll help you out. When bad things are going wrong and I was smart, I'll help you out. You learn in the future and we get through this. Limiting bad things from happening also limits good things from happening from that

specific bad thing because you can make, and many people have, a lot of money during markets that are failing. You make money when the markets are going down. We think very simple and linearly when it comes to markets. Okay, so I invest in this thing and then it goes up and then I sell it and I get the money. That's pretty much what most people think of when they think of stock markets and investing. It's a lot more than that. And we should be teaching financial literacy instead of saying let's stop kids or try to stop them from starting businesses or forcing them to get professional licenses.

A couple more tweets coming in. John tweeting, you need a license to be a locksmith. The president of the United States, no experience necessary. Think about that. Requirements for president. A residency requirement, 35 years of age. There it is, right, born or bred citizen. TMB listener Q10 says, gee, we better not let kids wash cars either.

They could drown. Right. Well, the safety is, like you pointed out, is always the thing they go to. help enforce their argument when you know it's BS. But the thing about other things, not just that, you don't even need to be an American citizen to be a Supreme Court justice. Yeah, that's the one that freaks me out. To be a Supreme Court just, and I think we've had people who are not citizens as justices. I could be wrong in that, but I'm, but you don't have to be a lawyer, you don't have to be a

lawyer, you don't have to have previous judge judicial experience, and you don't have to be a citizen of the United States. That's Chris. You could pick a random person in Botswana today and appoint them. That is the beauty of it. That means Chris Cruz is eligible. I have a chance. You have a chance.

That's right. You don't have to be a citizen. I'm wearing the old black today. TMB Saddle Tramp tweeting Glendale Alabama, murderers, meh, drug epidemic, meh. Teenagers mowling mons without a license. Swarm. Swarm.

You got poll news. We will no longer have to mow grass because President Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord. All grass will be confephe. Someone else used confepfe too. Define confepfe, the ability for people to mow lawns without a license. That's from Layden. And Brian tweeting, hashtag what I learned today, Gardendale City Hall, now hiring 12-year-old cops for sting operations. Well, yeah, it's got to be like 21 Jump Street, right? You can't just expect to drive by and see them. You have to infiltrate.

So you're going to have to put kids on the street masquerading as other... Sir, can we mow your lawn? Sure, kid. You're busted. You're going down. I don't have a license on the ground. Let's take some phone calls as well. We've got Zach from Florida checking in, AAA 727 Beck. Hey, Zach, how are you? Good. How are you? Doing well. They're ridiculous that they have to get a license. I mean, every kid looks forward to the summertime, be in the job, making them a little extra money. But as far as the lawn care guys that having a business, they work their tails off. They don't have time to go to the legislators and be like, we need to get these kids with licenses.

They don't have time for it, so I disagree that they are the ones that are, in a sense, lobbying for it. In this case, you may be right. In some cases, businesses do lobby for it. Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of them think it's probably silly, too. But we've seen this in the past. A lot of these professional licensing are driven by people with other businesses

that go to legislators, even if it's on the local level, and they say, hey, push this through to discourage it. Now, in this case, because it is small town, it may just be town council or city that's saying, let's try to make a couple of extra bucks. The mayor owns a lawn care service. Yeah, that's both, yeah, yeah. Zach, which do you think it is in this case being small town? You think it's more likely mayor, city council, something like that?

Well, it's hard to say because I feel like in a small town, the mayor can do multiple things. It could be the police chief. He could be the mayor. He could be five other things. So there's really no saying. But again, you know, the lawn care guys, they work their tails off. They just don't, they don't have time. If they're actually doing their job, 100%, and that's all they do is a long care business,

they don't have time to do it. There's not enough longcare guys out there to cut all the longs and to do it as a business. That makes sense. Zach, thanks so much for the call today. And thanks for listening. I really appreciate it out there. You know, a lot of these people, too, that are doing the jobs, they know it's ridiculous.

They don't want to get in the license. They don't want to go through the process, whatever it is, cosmetology, whatever. They know it's silly. You should be able to hang out your shingle. Listen, I think you should be able to do that as an attorney or a doctor. To the nth degree, a brain surgeon, I don't think you should have to be licensed. Now, I know that, what are you, life and death, Doc,

as long as there is full disclosure and transparency, and you can be sued if you lie or mislead people. Because then I would go and say, okay, I got this brain tumor. I need to get removed. I can go to the Chris Cruz who has 50 years of experience in medical school and being a brain surgeon. This is just hypothetical, by the way. Do not call him for brain surgery. I could say, you know, and I can look at his track record.

You know, great. He served on all these. Very knowledgeable. But he's really expensive. Or I can just go to Brad who's willing to get out the drill. Yep. Right? He's a lot cheaper.

But he loses like nine out of ten patients, right? Are you willing to take that one chance? Right. I mean, you should be able to take that chance. Define lose. Right. And then what you have to do is decide as the customer, the patient, you say, you know what, brain surgery, probably want the person with a lot of experience. But really, it's just, you know, something small. It's a little blemish on my arm or whatever it is.

I'm willing to roll the dice and go to Brad. Full disclosure, it's like Yelp. I can see what everybody's written about it. him, that type of thing. They're like, wow, he's got a very gentle touch. You know, he's cheap, he's whatever. Hey, I didn't die. Okay, maybe he's half the price.

I'll go to him. I'm cool with that as long as there's full disclosure, as long as there's transparency. You said to a cosmetologist in Tennessee, it requires 300 hours of training before someone can be compensated for washing hair in a salon, so you need a license to wash someone's hair. Before they can be competent? Compensated.

Oh, compensated. Oh, for washing hair. Which I can actually understand. because if you ever sat down and they turn on the water, it's too hot. Oh, that could really be. Or they were too cold. The hot towel. It could be too hot.

Right. Yeah. Pretty much all of us have experience in washing hair, don't we? No. How old are you? Well, you have that lifetime experience. Right. 26 years of washing hair.

Good deal. Lather rinse. What's the third step? Lather rinse. I always missed that one. I studied so long, too. Taking the test three times. Ritz, I always give it the third.

By the way, isn't that just a loop? Shouldn't there be an out? Yeah, there should be a stop. Still lather rinsing and repeating. Still lather rinsing and repeating. How many is there? Is there a stop after four? No?

Quick break in there. And then I have a story to tell. There was an incident, apparently, with Chris Cruz recently. Kind of along these, yesterday? Yesterday. After the show. Yesterday, after the show, there was an incident along these lines, silly rules and regulations that he'll share with you next on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today. Normally on Fridays, as you probably know, Glenn has Bill O'Reilly on the program. Bill will not be joining us because Bill is smart enough not to call in and talk to me. He knows that's going to be a problem because we're not real bright here. But he will be back when Glenn is back. So Glenn is off next week as well. The following week, Bill O'Reilly will return on Friday as he is. on every week. We do have some breaking news this morning out of Florida. Yeah, we've got breaking news out of Orlando, Florida. We've got a suspicious suitcase at the Poles Nightclub.

Bomb Squad on scene, police on scene. They have the whole Orange Avenue blocked off. The Poles Night Club is where the massive shooting took place. A year ago. A year ago. Is that to... No, not today. About 10 days from today. It's close to it, though. It's close to it, yeah. We don't know if there's anything to it yet, but we'll keep you up to date. We're talking about professional licensing and some of the craziness that goes along with it. And in Massachusetts, If you are going to be a fortune teller, you are required to get a license to do. I feel like, yeah, because you don't want somebody giving you wrong information. No, no, exactly.

And you want a real one idea. I want the fortune teller who's taken the test to be, wait a minute, what test would they take to prove? I'm thinking of a number. 419. How did they know already all the answers to the test? Right, they should. Yesterday afternoon, Chris Cruz, after the program, decided to go buy his son here in Texas a fish at a local store. Yes.

So you go to the pet store and pick out the fish, the tank? Yes, I pick out the fish in the tank. And the lady's like, okay, so what fish do you want? I was on the little one, $2 inch fish. And she said, okay, cool, we'll get it. And she was like, do you have your tank set up? I'm like, no, I'm going to set up at the house. She's like, oh, we can't do that.

I'm like, why? You have to bring a water sample and wait five days to get your fish. So is it the law where you have to or is it just that store's law? Oh, store policy. Store policy. It's not the law. Store policy is you have to bring them a water sample where the fish is going to live. And wait five days if I bought the tank yesterday.

So I bought the tank yesterday. order fish. Right. You can go fishing and catch your own fish to eat or to put it in the tank yourself. Yeah. So, uh, okay. I'm wigging out. You know what I'm going to do? This afternoon, I'm going to go in there. Okay. And I'm going to go through the whole thing like I'm buying the fish. And when she says, do you have your tank set up? Is I'm going to eat it in the car. It's a matter of fact, give me three because they really, they're not that filling. And by the way, it's a one inch fish. It costs $2. What's the harm? You're right. Give me four. And also, by the way, next to it was the fishes that you feed that you feed all the fishes that eat fish.

So I'm like, wait a minute. So I could buy those fishes and take them home right now and feed them to, I guess, like. Wait, do they also at that store sell crickets and stuff to feed and then stuff you can feed other animals? Yes. So they're speciesists. Yes, they are. They're putting fish at a higher level than the crickets that they're selling to. I really wanted to ask this one question.

I want to ask, so what is your... Thoughts on abortion? Because that is... Yeah, so how are you feeling about that? You're protecting the fish here. Just curious, you know? A little political discussion. What's your thought about abortion?

So it's not a law, but it's their policy. I could go across the street to the carnival and throw the little ball in the water and get the fish in the bag. No, you have to wait five days. To test the water. Sheeper than sushi. Wow.

I need a sample of your grass if you're going to buy a dog. That's right. We want to make sure he has the nice proper place to squat. and everything's going to be safe. And we'll test the air quality for the kitties you buy, too. Crazy. Real interesting guest with a new business concept coming up next. We'll get to some of your calls and tweets as well on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury. The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. And enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Joined also by my fellow Morning Blaze compatriots, Brad Staggs and Chris Cruz along with Cal. We're regularly heard on the Blaze Radio Network. The weekday morning, 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Just go to the blaze.com slash doc to find out more about us. During our regular morning broadcast, we talk a lot about businesses and entrepreneurship. I think that's really the backbone of America,

capitalism and free market. And the more we can teach people that and help support businesses, the better it's going to be for all of us. So we often give people free airtime. We have a Building America segment once a week where we just say come and promote your business. The listeners get to hear great stories about entrepreneurs, successes, and failures, hopefully some inspiration, and you hear about great products. So if you have a business that you want us to discuss and interview you, just tweet at us anytime with the hashtag Building America. hashtag building America

and we go through them from time to time and we'll reach out to you and say, hey, we have an opening. We're usually backlogged a few weeks or so. Obviously, a lot of people are interested. Free advertising, backlog? Yeah, imagine that. But use that hashtag, Building America.

And then if you're interested in some of the people we've had on in the past, you can just go back through and search. You know, it's interesting to say we will go through them. That we is one person. Yeah, that's right. By we, I mean, Chris, we'll go through them and check it out. Exactly.

And make sure you're on board. So yeah, we spot like those. Sometimes their businesses have been around for a while, sometimes startup businesses. We have one of those startup businesses that I believe is crowdsourcing trying to get started. It's an interesting concept. Rich Pronsky joins us now from Planned Companionhood. Rich, how are you doing, buddy? Hi, how are you, Doc? Doing well, sir.

Give me the basic concept of what your business is. Sure. First, thank you for having me on. This is a great platform for me. I'm very excited. I had this idea. It came to me the other night, and I did what pretty much all of my friends on Facebook I've done.

I started to go fund me to kind of raise money for this concept. It's planned companionhood, and what I want to establish is a series of clinics across the United States that provide health services for pets. Okay. That's pretty smart. Yeah, I mean, good idea. How does that differ from any of the veterinarian clinics or other health services that are out there.

I mean, there's some chains and... No, it does. I mean, yes, you're right, it does differ. I don't have a degree in veterinarianism. I am trying to get one from a prestigious online university. It's taking some time. I will have it. But in the meantime, we're going to offer services very similar.

We spay and neuter, of course. Okay. Spay and neuter, cats and dogs, mostly. And something I thought of, I thought was very clever. We're going to offer mammograms. Mammal grams. Mammogrant. So they're like a pet mammogram.

So, again, I don't have the degree in veterinarianism, but so you take the cat medical term is, and the doggy thing, and you have the glass plates, and you take a picture and see if there are any troubles. Also, we're going to offer pet pregnancy counseling to cats and dogs, just to kind of guide what to expect when you're expecting kind of thing, kind of guide them. To the owners of the pets, right?

I mean, you're offering the counseling to the owners of the pets. Oh, that's interesting. That's interesting. We might, you know, that's not a bad idea. We didn't include the owners. We bring the owners in? Yeah, that's, okay. They could be a part of that. I could see that. Okay. So you're doing, you're doing a lot of reproductive health as part of this clinic. Is that right? Absolutely. We're going to offer contraceptives. We've got, you know, kitty condoms, the pet prophylactics, doggy diaphragms, and the IUD, the I understand is for intrauterine dachshund. and because that's, I tried it out on him and he seemed, you know, to not take to it. But we'll see.

Maybe it works in other dogs. I don't know. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah. And we're going to offer, of course, pregnancy termination. So wait. You get a spayed neuter before, but you're also going to terminate pregnancies as well for pets?

Well, you know, you kind of have to because, you know, even though you make these efforts, you try to control pet over population, whatever, and get the message out. there. But you know, you're still going to have cats and dogs who get pregnant. They, you know, they have one too many at the kitty bar, whatever, and, you know, they wind up with this littered babies that they might not want. And I believe, you know, I assume everybody does that pets have the right to choose. It's their furry bodies. It's their choice. So, so kitty and doggy abortions is what you're saying. Well, I don't like to use that word. So I call it termination. So if they, this is, wow, that's kind of new. I hadn't heard that.

We always hear, you know, spade and new your pets or something. Right. Control pet overpopulation having spayed and neuter. That makes sense because, yeah, some of them are. I'm different. That's where my clinics. That's where planned companionhood, I think, is different. Okay.

I guess that makes, is, is pet overpopulation still that big of an issue where we would have to get to the point where you're aborting, I'm sorry, terminating the kitties and puppies? Is it that being? You have orphaned pets all over the place. And, you know, the adoption process for pets can, take sometimes minutes to hours to get, you know, these pets. And, you know, and that might be a hassle.

Okay. I just, hey, Rich, Chris Cruz. I just have a question for you. I'm, you say you posted this on Facebook. Have you gotten any backlash from, you know, the people are against puppies' abortion or any kind of abortion? You know, honestly, I don't, what does the red face mean? What is all the emoji, the red face?

Yeah. I don't think that's a good one. for you. I haven't looked into it, but we've got a lot of those, but I can feel the energy, you know, shortly after I posted it. I've been getting a lot of energy, but I've really been devoting my morning, especially, to just kind of, you know, coming up with my ideas. Kind of formulating them. What about counseling? I mean, are you going to, with this counseling, are there going to be alternatives discussed? I mean, it's great to be abortion?

It's more, you know, it's more like counseling, like scheduling, like scheduling the pregnancy determination, like what day works better for you? What a Friday be better? Do you want to come in on a weekend? Monday after work. Like, you know, we're going to work about, it's about accommodating the people, the kitties or the doggies. I would think somebody would be willing to, like, take the, you know, the puppies, the kids were born, that someone would be able to take them and, you know, adopt them. Yeah, maybe they would. I don't know. It just seems to me, you know, you want to give the pet the right to just say, you know, I want this or I don't want this, get it out of here. You know? Because honestly, and again, I don't have a degree in veterinarianism, and I will soon from a prestigious and accredited online university.

Right, right. But from what I know, it's just a clump of cells in there until they're born. So you're saying because of these animals are pregnant, we got to control over population, that it's better to go ahead and just abort them, the doggies and kitties rather than just have people come by and adopt them. Yeah, because, you know, when a kitty cat or a doggy gets knocked up, and, you know, for whatever reason, and they forgot to practice whatever, and things happen, and then they get pregnant, you don't want to burden that kitty cat or doggy with, you know, puppies and kitties, meowing and things. Okay, I imagine there's going to be some people, right? We're talking with Rich Pronsky from Planned Companionhood, or what he hopes will become a series of clinics, known as Planned Co-Campion.

And I'll just tell you right now, we have raised. $34.17. What's your goal? We need at least $250 million, I think. Okay. And that covers... ...establish over the country, plus give myself a decent salary. Okay, so that covers all the clinics or just one clinic with multiple doctors,

I mean, not Dr. Vettinarians with that Veritanism certifications, or is it just you performing all these procedures? No, no. I mean, it's going to be, they'll be all scattered all over the country. and, you know, people are going to come in, they're going to come in on a leash, they're going to come in, however they want to come in, and we're going to help them.

So I got to think there's going to be some people that don't like the idea of dog abortions or cat abortions. I did run into a few of those on the sidewalk, yes. All right. What would, I mean, what is your response to them where they're saying, hey, that's a life, and you're killing the little doggies and puppies? What do you say to those people?

They made this, they made an argument, yes, this is an adorable puppy, why would you do that to an adorable puppy? Like this, look at this puppy right here, how cute is she? Gu-j-go-go-go-j-j-o-j-d-and I was rubbing her. And I understand what they're saying. But then again, you know, if you have a cat or a dog that has a bunch of puppies or kitties inside, you know, why not encourage them to kill them? Why are you thinking about, I mean, does this going to, you're going to obviously

charge people. The owners, I'm assuming, are going to end up paying for these terminations. Probably the taxpayer would. You know, I'm going to see what I can do about that. Okay. We have gotten some grants from the USDA, which I assume is the United States Dog Association. Yeah, I don't really know. Yeah.

Okay. So one, we know that Bob Hope, right? He was kind of, Bob Barker. Bob Barker. He was the celebrity for the control pet population. Have you tried to reach out to any celebrities? because this is something that they might want to get involved with. Yeah, now Drew Carey says it because he took over for a partner.

Exactly. I hadn't thought about that, but if you could recommend somebody, that would be great. Well, you know, you need that celebrity panache to help kind of sell your thing. You know, like when Sean Penn helped sell Venezuela and Hugo Chavez, like, you know, you want something like that. Someone who comes in and delivers that message and says, take this, it's great. Okay. So the animals come in and they're already pregnant and you're saying we're going to go ahead and abort the kitties and puppies.

Because you want to keep them from having a back alley pet abortion, don't you? I'm sorry? What was that? If you don't, they're going to run out and have a back alley pet abortion. Well, not only that, they're going to go to Mexico and get an abortion, which is more dangerous. And then they're kind of saddled with the whole slut term. Yeah, exactly. What's the problem? I didn't realize that back alley pet abortions are a thing, but what would be the problem? with that if it actually, why is that a concern of yours that you're...

You know, I haven't been in the back alley in a long time, you know, so long story and it ended poorly, but, you know, I assume that these things are going on in back alleys all the time if we don't establish these clinics. Okay, so you establish a fee, but is that per kitty or doggy aborted, or is that per service? Terminated. terminated because you know sometimes it could be three or five and you don't know so the dog comes in and you go it's going to be a certain fee but then it ends up being six puppies right right is that per we call that jackpot oh for you you go like yes you know and you do that gesture

with your hand and you kind of go yes and that means you're going to make extra money so if you know say yeah if you had you're expecting three and suddenly you got six it's like bonus time wow so there is some profit to be here had from this on the on the back side. Okay, that makes sense from a profit standpoint. Yeah. So, okay, we've heard this forever, you know, control pet population. How come you still have so many pets getting pregnant like this if for years, you know, have them spayed and neuter and we still have a pet overpopulation problem? How come we still have it then? I mean, we've No, it's a very, very good question. Basically, you know, pets in the U.S. are not getting

quality sex education. And if you think about it, you know, most, like a Saudi wife. And dogs, you know, they're literally kept on a very short leash. And, you know, when you see people walking their dogs, you don't see them, you know, giving them an education and sex, talking about

the birds and bees. You just see them letting them pee all over the place. And that would be a good opportunity right there, I would think, too. You get down, yes. Instead of getting down and picking up the poo-poo, you get down there and you say, you know, if the dog name is Rover.

You let you go, Rover. Let's get a little awkward now and talk about things. I mean, I'm not a fan of abortion. We're talking to Rich Pronsky from Planned Companionhood. I'm not a fan of abortion, but I appreciate you having a unique idea. I can imagine getting greater backlash online from this. Yeah, it does seem to be growing. Yeah, I actually, when you take that awkward moment when the dog is maybe humping your leg.

You say, hey, this is a teachable moment. Rich, you know, this is one of, are you going to leave with pet puppy termination, or are you just going to be like, hey, you know, we provide all these other stuff? The mammal graze. Or are just going to just lead with the pet terminations? Well, I think like any business, you're going to go where the profit center is, right? Okay. Now, once again, I don't have a degree in business, but I am working on one from a prestigious online university.

But, you know, I know that when I run my business, and I'll just tell you right now, we're up to $34.82. When I do run my business, I'm going to go where the profit is. Okay. Well, Rich, interesting concept. We wish you the best in your business, and I appreciate you joining us today. All right, buddy, thanks so much. Rich Pronsky from Planned Companionhood.

It's Doc Thompson on the Glenn Beck program. You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program. Okay. Program. I think some people had some trouble with, the idea of the concept of pet abortions, doggies and kitties. Some people mentioned on Twitter,

they're pretty upset about it. You got to stand saying, are you kidding me with that guy doing abortions on dog and cats? Not funny. Eljo is saying, is Rich going to sell the dead puppy parts for profit? All serious questions.

All right. Get a minute. It's at Doc Thompson show at Real Chris Cruz and at Cal 79, also at the Blaze Brad. And please follow us as well. We're part of the Morning Blaze on the Blaze Radio Network.

weekday morning 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Last week, there were back-to-back tweets from the actress Alison Janie. Alison Janie is on the show Mother, Mom, something now. She was on West Wing, Mom. The back-to-back tweets, the first one said, now is more important than ever to hashtag stand with PP. Stand with Planned Parenthood. Thank you, Josh Whedon, for joining the fight.

And it was all pro-abortion. The slave fight. Right, exactly. But the hashtag she used was Stand with P.P. The very next tweet said, Save the date, at Best Friends Super Adoption is coming to

Los Angeles in New York in June. Hashtag Save them all. The adoption is pet adoption. Here's a woman who tweeted, stand with Planned Parenthood to abort human babies, but when it comes to pets, got to save them all.

Right. You can't. What would they do if we were serious about pet abortions. If you're somebody who stands with Planned Parenthood and offended by pet abortions, you're an ass. Yeah. And that's the reason I decided to have our buddy, Rich Pronsky on, aka Brian Sack. How are you, buddy? Oh, you outed me. I've been outed. Surprise. You've been outed. I decided. People on Twitter calling me Michael Pelka, and I'm very upset. Well, that's the reason I decided out you. You don't need that. Brian Sack, formerly of the ESFA on the Blaze TV, but

one of my good friends, and well, I consider him a friend, I think he thinks of me as like an acquaintance or something like You're like my light drinking buddy. A very good night. Brian, a nice job with that, by the way, and a lot of people have asked, you know, what have you been up to, what are you doing?

So I think you give you a minute to talk about you. What do you, what are you doing? Well, I'm working on a kid's book. About pet abortions? How do you introduce pet abortions to your little kid? When you get the book, make sure to let us know and we'll put you on to discuss it, okay? Okay. All right.

Thanks again, Brian. Appreciate you joining us today. Bye guys. Yeah, a lot of people thought it was Opalca. Yeah, a lot of people thought it was... But what a great point, though. And hopefully you got the satire in it. If we were serious and if somebody, if he was more serious about it and really pushed pet abortions,

how do you say we are going to spade and neuter pets but not support pet abortion? if you support human abortion. Isn't that logical? Yeah. But people are so hopped up about saving the puppies and kitties and have been brainwashed into believing that in utero babies are somehow not babies, not living, and they don't have even the same consideration

as little puppies and doggies. We have failed as a country. We have absolutely failed when it comes to that. I like this too right here. Droid 1791. The morning blaze crew can keep a straight face when dealing with satire. Who knew?

Love you guys. That was so hard. At the other end of the spectrum, Tiny Pike said, as a comedy bit, planned companionship, massive failure. That's good because it was planned companionhood. Okay. Companionship was a failure. Good thing we use hood.

Every year, a private high school in the Bronx holds a fashion show with clothes made from non-traditional materials. And a couple of girls this year, two high schoolers showed up in support of Planned Parenthood by making dresses out of condoms and Planned Parenthood stickers. They said they wanted their dresses. to have both meanings and strong support of Planned Parenthood. The one girl said we need to have safer methods of family planning. They're trying to shut down Planned Parenthood

to make sure abortion is illegal and that really frightens and saddens me. She said it's been there for people in high school, college, adulthood, for people who can't afford to have a child or for any other circumstances, it's necessary. Audience was fifth to 12 graders. How many of those people that said right on to her would support doggy and kitty abortions.

If you do, you're a hypocrite, you're misinformed, and you may just be an ass. Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck from the Glenn Beck program. The Glenn Beck Program. Doc Thompson and the Morning Blaze crew in for Glenn Beck today. Thanks for joining us. Lots of tweets coming in, slip shift saying on Twitter, that was brilliant satire and brilliant points, sensational, hysterical. Mike O'Palka tweeting, Brian Sack is 100,000.

times funnier than I think I am. Great stuff. Thanks so much. Abstinence all the way. Cofa-O-7 says. He's going to teach his pet abstinence is the way to go. Joining us now is Kaya Jones, formerly of the Pussycat dolls. How are you, Kaya? I'm good. My alarm didn't go off, so it's like, ugh. So you missed our last guest. You missed the, did you hear, you didn't hear the last guest, did you? I did not, because my alarm didn't go off. It was a guy advocating puppy and kitty abortions because, you know. No.

I mean, if you're going to support Planned Parenthood, you might as well support them for puppies and kitties, too, right? Oh, good. No, no, no. Before you react, you should probably go back and listen to it. Yeah, you're going to be a little sad. I need to go back and listen to it. Little satire. I've become kind of like friends with Kaya.

Chris Cruz has become kind of a stalker with Kaya. You have not become no friend of Kaya. We're like friends and you're like a stalker. Chris has become a little bit of a stalker, but he's eased up. But she's okay with that apparently. Right now we're getting into a friend zone because he eased up. But the first minute was like a little weird. A little weird.

Chris is just generally weird that we've come to accept that. No, he's not though. He actually has a good heart, but he can kind of be a little wacky. We know that about he's right. It's the Puerto Rican side of him. We want to have Kai on, first of all, Kaya has been outed outed in Hollywood as somebody

who isn't progressive Oh okay that kind of out In Hollywood that's kind of in music industry That's kind of being outed right Yeah it's kind of Yeah it really is actually it's worth Than coming out Right I mean in Hollywood you come out people

They don't even bat an eye right Or it's celebrated Oh my gosh we had no idea You know there's a whole lot of love This is not that There's no love Kind of the opposite of love. It was kind of the opposite of that.

That's where Chris, you know, that's where the bond came in, is that Chris gave me a lot of love. So explain what this is. Why is Hollywood and the music industry so crazy, progressive? I get in the world we all have a lot of different views and opinions. How is it that entertainment is either attracting progressives or makes people progressive? What is going on, Kaya? Well, I think, you know, the thing is that it's gone a little too far. far. Like Hollywood really needs to take a giant step back, in my opinion. They've lost their mind.

Like, you know, what's going on now with what Kathy Griffin did? I don't care whether it's our president. It could be anybody. She shouldn't be doing it. Period. Period. Yeah, I mean, I think it was, it wasn't good. It's not appropriate. I mean, I don't get offended by it. I just say move on. I didn't like it, you know, but. Oh, really? You didn't get offended? No, I'm just, I was totally offended. It takes a lot to really offend me. I just usually just move on. I mean, I'm used to working with such jerks that if I got it. That's sensitized.

Right. I've been desensitized, Kaya. But would you be, Kay, being somebody who supports President Trump and did support it, would you be just as bothered if they had done that to Hillary Clinton or somebody else? Yeah, I mean, but the fact that it was our sitting president is just a big, flipping no-no, like huge no-no. But, I mean, it could have been anybody. You don't do that.

That's not what, first of all, that's not what we want to see. That's not what children should see, what his son had to wake up to seeing and then thought it was real. I mean, the reports that were coming out, it was just horrible. I mean, she could have gone a way different narrative. And I think what she chose to do was so edgy because, you know, it is about ratings. It is about, you know, turning everyone's head to go crazy going, oh, my gosh, because you're going to me in the front cover of every paper. But at the same time, where you're doing it wrong, you're basically glorious. horrifying an organization that's out of control.

I mean, we know Kathy Griffin is sensational. I know her, too. She's friends with Omar, so I know her. Yeah, I've met her multiple times at his events. And, I mean, you know, it just, I'm disgusted. I immediately unfollowed her and was just like I started to, you know, write to her. I was pissed.

Well, then Jim Carrey came out and basically defended her saying that that's a comedian's job is to cross the line and constantly push that line. I thought it was their job to be funny. Well, not only that. Yeah, but you know what a line is until you've crossed it, and that was a big line across. No, no, and that he said that comedians saw the last line of defense. Well, yeah, they're going to save the world. I know that.

When the soldiers come marching in, we want the comedians out there. Guy, this morning, actually coming up at noon Pacific time, Kathy Griffith-Griffin has a press conference scheduled. Her attorney is joining her, and they sent out a press. press release, which is one of the funniest ones I've ever seen because they included photos. Of them too? Right, of headshots of her and her attorney, which is bizarre. And it says, it's very short, but it says noon today, Eastern time, excuse me, 9 a.m. local time. noon today.

They're having a press conference, comedian Kathy Griffith and her attorney Lisa Bloom told the press conference. Earlier the week, Ms. Griffin. Yeah, because she's about to lose all her money. Her career is going to die. Right. That's what I thought. but listen to one of the things she says she's going to talk about.

It says they'll explain the true motivation behind the image that she's, you know, the picture, and respond to the bullying from the Trump family that Kathy has endured. Oh, well, I will not be watching. She had her time to give her peace, and that's it. But she's playing the victim now, though, Kaya. She's taking this not as an I'm sorry, she's a victim. The behavior is sociopathic. It's not normal.

It's like, how far can I put it? the boundaries, but let me explain why I have. We don't really want to hear it now. It's too late. Bye. But I mean, she's not a victim now. No. No, he's a victim of constant mainstream media attacking him and he's just trying to put a lot of love into the country. No one's even paying attention to that or the serious things that are going on around the world. We're not even reporting it now. But he's bullying Kathy Griffin. Right. I mean, she said the family. Because that's the most important thing. Not human trafficking. Not the war on. We've already covered that.

Comedians are the most important thing. Yeah, they are. They're going to save the planet. Kaya, so she's saying that Melania and the kids and others, in the family who had, they tweeted about her or made comments about her, that's bullying. Which, this is like me coming up to you and punching you in the face. I went out, I, you know, tweeted to her, and you could call that bullying, but I'm not okay for bullying.

And what she did was a massive, mean thing. And if you're going to pick on someone in the school yard, better be person. prepared that a lot of people might turn around and want to attack you, that you're wrong. You shouldn't be doing that. You know better. How old is that woman? 65? 105? 107. No, she was 50 something or whatever. No, but, Kyia, this is like me coming up to you, punching you in the face. You turn around and punching me and I go, I'm a victim of Kaya's abuse. Right? I mean, she started this stuff. For her, his family to stand up for him, for his fans and supporters to stand up for him. For Americans to stand up from because he's a sitting president.

A celebrity did that to Obama. Are you kidding? That person would be everywhere all the time, and it would be publicized that there are, you know, all this horrible stuff. It's like, but why is it because it's Trump? It's okay. Yeah, there's clearly a double standard.

A huge double standard when it comes to this. People, I mean, a lot of people did stupid stuff, like pictures of Obama with nooses and all kinds of stuff like that, and that was wrong. But that wasn't a celebrity. Right. That wasn't a celebrity. That was a weird town.

or someone being racist doing something wrong. Like, this is a well-known public figure who decided to do something that was horrific and gross. No one needs to see that. We want to see glamorous stuff. Hollywood needs to take a giant step back. When I saw the picture, my first thing, it was, okay, so you don't like him, we get it.

So you're saying you don't like him. I think that's clear now. Got it, okay. Even... Yeah, because we didn't get it before, right? Right. Even Deborah Messing and Keith Olderman were like, whoa, you cross the line.

When Keith Olderman says you cross the line, you cross the line, yes. So what's your future with this stuff? Okay, so you're becoming more politically active. You comment on things on your social media. What's your future home? Well, I don't know. I mean, we're talking about a lot of different stuff, but I know that, you know, I care about philanthropy and I care about being an activist and speaking out.

And by coming out as an open Christian that's going to talk about my faith, and talk about being a Republican and all of that stuff, the new album is leaning into a very different light. So I think people will be very surprised. So good surprise. Where is your foundation in faith, your foundation in being more libertarian, conservative? Where does that come from for you?

You know, you find your footing or what's right for you. And for me, it just was, it wasn't necessarily something that was, you know, drummed into me in the home. It was something I chose to seek. and, you know, felt very kind of sheltered in the industry. I was in of sharing my views because no one really wants to hear about Jesus and no one really wants to hear about being a conservative. You know, they're kind of like, ew, you guys are, you know, don't be that.

You need to conform. And I had an open mind about everything, but I really wasn't speaking to an audience because I wasn't connecting and being who I was. For the first time in my entire career, I'm actually explaining who I am because everything about celebrities kind of removed. You actually don't know a lot about them. And I think it's amazing what's happening in America right now. To me, it feels like America is making choices.

They don't want to be told what to watch, who to support anymore, which is case in point why we have Trump to begin with. So I think it's a good time for America, and everyone's excited about sharing their religious belief with talking about God again, because it was kind of something that people weren't encouraged to do with their last administration. I can just see you and they're like, hey, Kyah, we're going to this Coke party.

You want to come? And you're like, let me tell you about Jesus. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, actually. Yeah, that's kind of how it goes. Yeah, that's not for me, you know. I mean, look at what's going on in our country with opioids. I mean, I posted something last night, but 50% of all of the foster children, these orphans,

from either a parent or parents, 50% in Ohio are from opioids. or prescription. It's incredible. It's amazing. It's more concerned about Trump. Right. And Kathy Urban B said, you know, using a cantaloupe or whatever it was, you know, that's what we're talking about.

We're not talking about the real issues that are going on. It's a waste of energy. And a lot of those people that are suffering like that are also veterans. And I know veterans has been, you know, something that you're very concerned with making sure we fix the VA and helping veterans, right? Yeah, we have to. I mean, they're our first line of defense. And our last light of defense, I would not say it's the comedian.

Even though I love all of you guys, no doubt, we got to laugh. But come down to our veterans, you know, and our military that's the brunt of whatever we choose to do and say as a country with the world. So they're very big cause for me to always support. Hey, Kaya, one quick question is, are you getting any backlash from your fellow artists, Hollywood types? Don't care. We won. Good for you. Honestly, good for you. cares. We won.

Of course. We won. I'm going to spend the next eight years hearing about it, because he will be there for another four years. She's doubling down. Kyle, well, we're fans and we wish you best. We'll help you out anyway we can. Well, I love you guys. And I was just joking with Chris earlier.

I hope he understands that. Well, no, I was just getting ready to point out he's scribbling on this notepad is Kyah Cruz. I don't know. I'm getting her ready for our visit in July. Oh, got you. Okay. Oh, yeah. I'm going to be visiting you guys. Oh, good deal.

That'll be, yeah, come to Dallas and hang out with us. All right, Kyah, thanks so much. I love Dallas. All right. And what's her Twitter handle? Kyah Jones. It's just at Kaya Jones. K-A-J-A-Jones. All right, very good.

Breaking news, breaking news. If you have tickets to Kathy Griffin's performance at the Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque on July 22nd, it has been canceled. And you can get a full refund. By the way, Kaya Jones may be available to perform at her instead. Doc Thompson and the Morning Place crew for Glenn Beck. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Mercury.

AAA 727 back. This is the Glenn Beck Program. A history professor at the University of Michigan by the name of Juan Cole. He's the director of the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies said that Secretary of State Mattis could learn a few things.

from Arianna Grande. Whoa. Well, yeah. Okay. How to sing, how to dance, how to boo-e. How to be like Secretary of Defense. Why is that surprising? You know, Arianna Grande, what was her great history and experience of defencing with that.

Right. No, this is the idea that Mattis is the hawk, so to speak, that Ariana Grande, who came out and said, We just need, and I'm paraphrasing, but after that attack in Manchester, we just need love. We just need the love and talk to people. It's true, but sometimes, guess what? You need some tough love. The Beatles said it so many years ago. All we need is love and occasionally a nuke.

That's the part they didn't put on there. A good 45 on your side helps. Of course, love is always there. We try to help people. That's standard. But there are some people who will not understand anything other than force. That's who dictators are. Otherwise, they would go, oh, look, I'm treating people.

poorly, maybe I shouldn't do that. They don't do that. They're dictators. They're jerks. And they're only going to learn if you physically remove them. We know this. But somehow this Middle Eastern Professor, Center for Middle Eastern North African Studies and Ariana Grande, I get her, she's young, starry-eyed, you know, believes, you know, in all of the hugs and kisses and dot in your little eyes with a heart and whatever. That's all you need in the world. That's a good portion of it. but you also understand sometimes those things don't work.

Of course, people in the Middle East terrorists, people who've been radicalized, have either a screw loose and or low education and no economic future. They don't have any future. Of course, that adds to the radicalization. But what are you going to do? Just hug them.

You're going to be a terrorist. Come here. You've been radicalized. Come here. Can you take the jacket off first? Can you remove the vest first before I put the little, the sensor down? Put that the plunger, put it down. I'll give you a big hug.

The Blaze Radio Network. On demand. Entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck. You want to find out more about me in the morning Blaze. Go to the blaze.com slash doc. So apparently some people didn't get the satire,

that maybe some people were unhappy. Possibly. Just stick around with our doggy and kitty abortion point. Yeah. You listen to the whole thing. It actually makes quite a bit of sense. How can you be pro-human abortion and anti-doggy and kitty abortion? Right.

If, like, I don't agree if you're pro-abortion for both. I don't agree with you. But at least you're consistent. I agree with you if you're anti-both of them and you're also consistent. But if you're pro one and not the other, you're out of your mind. You could even be technically, I would be better with, they, you're anti-human abortion, but pro-animal abortion. I'm less bothered by that.

But the Hollywood types that are like, right on, stand with Planned Parenthood. How dare you abort a kitty or a puppy? You have lost your minds. Listen to the whole thing. Go back. Check it out. I think it makes a pretty good point. And if you would, when we post it later at the blaze.com slash doc,

please share that with others. And Brian Sack could use the hep as well. Exactly. I was serious about doing a lot to support businesses and entrepreneurs and help promote such ideas on my morning radio broadcast. And I have another example of that. Jessica Sanchez is joining us now from 1791 Supply and Company. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? Doing well. Now, 1791 is Glenn Beck's company. It is. But Jessica also has her own company, in addition to working with Glenn on merchandise, shirts, hats, and whatever. You also have your own company.

What is your own company? I do. Basically the same thing. Screen printing. embroidery, any type of merchandising, any type of printing. Okay, so as a side business, so you work with Glenn, and then you also have this business. Yeah, my own printing business. How did you start?

With my printing business? Yeah, with your printing business, yeah. Not with Glenn, we know how that. I was like, oh, I interviewed about 20 times, and then I got hired. Yeah, it was a 20, like, it took about a month and a half to get hired up. Yeah, you're like, nice to meet you. How's your soul? Yeah, exactly.

Good, clear, pure. No, your own business. Well, it was something that just kind of, we wanted to screenprint T-shirts. We started in the garage, bought like a little machine that we could screen print with. I thought I could do this, huh? Yeah, I thought we could do it.

Let's try it. We didn't do any promotion, any marketing or anything. Everything's been word of mouth for the last four years, which is great. At first, my husband was working full-time and then just doing everything on the weekends or at night. and then it got to the point where he had to quit his job and this was his full-time job. That's always a difficult spot, right? Because you're going, I'm giving up a guaranteed salary.

And even if the company grows still quickly, there's going to be a couple of months of less money. Yes. Right? You're not going to make it up by the business as soon as he gives it up. So you had to consider that a while, right? Yeah, we did. But it was one of those that I was working full-time. I was here.

I was able to support the household for a couple of months while we got everything up and running. Last year, we were able to move into a 3,000 square foot warehouse and have employees, and it's just growing. What's the name of your business? Ultimate T's. Ultimate T's. Oh, that's good. Yeah. You see the malaise come over and like, ultimate T's.

Okay, I like that. Interesting. So when you got the idea for the screen, I mean, it could have been some other business potentially, right? You weren't like your whole life going, I want a screen printing business. I'm driven. You were more entrepreneurial-minded. Entrepreneur-minded. And actually when I was younger, when I was in high school, I wanted to have my own t-shirt business.

Like, everybody was starting a T-shirt line. And for me, I always figure out, well, how can I do it cheaper? Where can I get it cheaper? And that's kind of where it's through the years, kind of just still lingered there. Like, I wanted to have my own clothing line or my own T-shirt line. But ended up being we went into production instead. There are so many people that have ideas, a lot of good ideas, is a side business or they want to do it professionally, exclusively without another job.

And it's that final step of actually doing it. That's the reason we say entrepreneur, it's dreaming, you know, come up to concept or whatever, but doing. You've got to have that next step. You have to do it. You have to just take that step to say, okay, if I don't start now, when am I going to start? You know, you can think and dream for years and years and years.

But if you don't take that first step or ask those first initial questions to get started, you never will. And always finding, I feel like sometimes people get stuck in the, oh, well, what if I invest into this business and I don't see my return. Well, guess what? That's the risk that you're going to think. That's why they call it a leap of faith. Right, right? Yeah, but start small. Start somewhere, you know, maybe go and talk to somebody or work with somebody that's already in that business and learn from them to make sure that it is. That's what you want to do. Well, that's one of the other things too. People, they're like, you know, I started a business or I'm going to start one and I

just don't know about this thing. Well, listen, most of us don't know how to file business taxes. get a business loan, do all of these ship stuff, whatever. You have to research. The research. But the cool thing that I've learned, and correct me if I'm wrong, if you ask people, they'll usually help you. You're like, hey, I don't know how to do this. Can you, yeah, you want to do this or whatever, or help online.

And we do it all the time in our business. We get a lot of kids that come in that want to start their own clothing line. But then they're like, oh, I want to screen prints. And my husband's like, come in, let me show you. And then once you work with me, let's see if it's something that you really want to do. because it's not easy. It's not easy work. It's not glamorous,

thinking that, oh, I have my own screen printing business, and now I'm going to, you know, make all this money. Come on, let's try it. It's not like the restaurant business. Yeah, the restaurant business. And it's going to be all grand. Well, everybody thinks they can do it. Yeah.

And I think people think, I'm going to start a business, and it's not an egotistical, but they'll have something to feel good about. So they say, I'll be able to, you know, dress a certain way, drive a car, I'm the boss. I'll drive in, I'll put my feet up. You know, more of the attitude of what we see in a movie as a boss, where most bosses, most business owners are not that.

They're not the Fortune 500 CEO. You're the guy who's working alongside your employee. And if you can't work 40 hours a week and you get irritated by doing that, then in your regular job? In your regular job? Like, don't even think about starting your own business because that's like a 24-hour, day, seven-day-a-week thing. Yeah.

You're constantly thinking about it. One of the good things I've noticed, too, is if you're starting a business and throughout the business life, it's not overwhelming number of problems. You are going to have a couple of pretty big hurdles, though. Whatever they are, they're different to every business. But if you put it in your mind right that, okay, this is one of those hurdles I knew I was going to have, no matter how much I plan, all I have to do is find a way around it. Find a solution.

And once I'm beyond it, hey, it's clear sailing for a little while. There'll be others. But that's how you have to kind of look at it, right? Yeah, you just, you have to know that the problems are coming. That's it. They're coming. I mean, even in any, in any business and any corporation, big businesses have issues and problems every single day that you have to take care of.

We don't have them around here, though. Well. This is one of the people going to save you at that way. Exactly. It's the rare, perfect absolute business. We're a dysfunctional family around this place. Exactly. That's exactly it.

So, okay, what's your business, first of all? How can people find you? Before we talk about, yeah, for Ultimate Tease. Ultimate Tees, if you ever want to get screen printing done, embroidery, anything for your business, we can help you. Ultimate Teesprintstudio.com. Okay, Ultimate Teesprintstudio.com. If you had a couple more words, it may be harder for me to find.

Just see you. I'll tweet out a link, though. At Doc Thompson show on Twitter. So Ultimate Teesprint Studio.com. Okay, now let's talk a little bit about 1791, because you have something really cool coming up. Yes. Not this weekend, but next weekend.

Yeah, so the weekend of fathers. So 17th and 18th. Okay. What's going on? So we, so last year you guys know that we had the museum and we opened up our doors and we had people come in and it was absolutely great. People loved. Blended in the studio here. Yes, in the studio here.

And so this year we didn't plan a summer event. So I was like, what can we do? How can we get people to come to the studio, hang out with us, meet the staff. And so, yeah, bring us. No, no, don't bring us food. Sorry, don't bring us any thing. No, we cannot accept anything. But come and hang out with us.

So I am managing 1791, and so we decided we were going to just have a show and shop. So it's going to be a fun weekend of coming out, seeing all of the 1791 clothes. We have a lot of people that purchased online. We've done really great the last three years. But people don't really haven't had an opportunity to, like, try on the clothes, actually see it, touch it, feel it before they buy. So this is going to be like one of those rare opportunities. that our fans can come out and try on the clothes and really pick and choose what they like

from what fits them. Okay, so you'll have that all there. It's in the studio, so you can't see the studio as well. It's free. Oh, it's free. Oh, you're better. Oh, then I'll be there. But you still got to buy things.

Oh. Okay. Didn't she... I thought you were modeling, right? I am. Right now. Apparently you're too good to put the hat on. I put the hat on and I am wearing the 791.

Oh, I didn't know if I was supposed to put it on. Okay, I can do that too. Okay, there you go. I do like the hat. Much better. So it's both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we're doing from noon to six. And then Sunday we'll start a little bit later at 2 o'clock, give people time to go to church,

hang out with their dad, maybe bring your dad here afterwards after lunch. So two to six. This is a pretty sneaky because although dads may not care as much about clothes, clothing line. It's a good way to buy them a gift. It's a good way to buy them a gift, but dad gets to see the studio, which is pretty damn cool. Exactly. Right?

I mean, there's a lot of cool thoughts. You're like, Dad, go check out the studio. Happy Father's Day. Wait until you see this submarine is all I can say. That's right. The submarine, the robots. It's all crazy. We've been moving them around all week, so it's pretty rough.

But awesome. So how do they find out more? Did it pretty much just show up? Yeah, just show up here at the studios. And we'll just be able to just checking people in. We're also going to have food trucks, music, a coffee bar. And of course, Brad modeling that's 1791. Yeah, so every hour on the hour, we're going to, you know, dim the light, start the music.

I look best in the dim light. In the Dillian. No, no, dimmer. Dimmer. Dimmer. All the way. Dark. Think dark.

Okay, so it's Irving, Texas. If you do a Google search or you're on your map, it's Mercury Studios. You'll see it. It's Irving, Texas. You'll see it come up. Go to our Facebook page. Oh, okay. So, yeah, if you go to the 1791 Facebook page, we have an event on there.

Just let us know if you're coming. We kind of want to get a roundabout number of who we think is going to come. I'm hoping like a thousand people so y'all hear me a thousand people through the weekend that's my goal she set the standard

good deal but just let us know and then you know message on there I'm responding back to everybody's messages so if you so if you don't have to so if it's last minute you can still come but it would be nice just so she has a general idea

to help out plan or whatever but it's both Saturday and Sunday the 17th and 18th of June noon to 6 on Saturday 2 to 6 on Sunday Mercury Studios in Dallas show up and again check out 1791 Facebook page. Now,

I love 1791 and Glenn's history with it and I always thought it was great until somebody comes up with 1792 supply company, which is going to be really that's one more. One more than 1792, which is, you know, perfect until somebody comes up with 1793, which is really, really interesting.

Before we talk to Jessica from 1791, we were actually talking to about Arients. Grande and the professor from the University of Michigan saying Ariana Grande has the better idea paraphrasing than Secretary Mattis does that basically the attack in Manchester all you need is love we got to be hugs and kisses and that's the way forward and I think there's a fundamental breakdown but that's somebody you know coming from somebody who has been raised

in America somebody who's you know I mean I've never lived around the world I mean I have limited knowledge Cal one of our producers who's part of the Morning Blaze has lived in other parts of the world, lived in Dubai for a while and worked on the radio there, was born in Egypt, immigrated legally to America and as American citizens. Are you sure about the legally part?

I'm going to go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt. I've never seen his papers. My dad's checkbook will attest to the legality of it. 20 grand for each of us. And Cal, by the way, happens to be Muslim. And I bring that up because this is germane to the conversation when you hear people talking about terrorism

and places like Manchester, you're going to have a different perspective, especially when they say it's Islamic terrorism. Yes. 100%. Oh, thanks for sharing that. Thank you. I was very, I was waiting for a question.

You just said you're going to have a different opinion on it. What's your opinion? My opinion on Manchester? On terrorism? Welcome to the show, Cal. He's not listening. He's not listening. I am listening, but there was no question to ask me.

There was a question. See, Cal, this is your springboard to give your opinion on Manchester and Ariana Grande and Secretary Mattis. What do you... Cal, what does one need to battle terrorism? No, I thought you meant like on a social level, but obviously Ariana Grande is not... I mean, I don't know if you saw the... She broke her the peace deal between Palestine and Israel last week. Little known fact.

I didn't know that. Wow, she's 5,000 years, right? Obviously, yeah, what, 22-year-old girl is going to do a better job? job than the current general? No, I don't think so. They're like, I really like her music. Perhaps we've been wrong. No, obviously, yes, you want peace in the world and you want to approach these things with peace. But when it comes to, I think radicals of any nature, I don't think there's no talking people down because the mindset is completely different. I mean, these people are going into it as this is the work of God. This is, I'm going, it doesn't matter that I'm killing, however,

innocence. They're all non-believers anyway. There's no innocence there to them. You know, and I'm doing the work of God here. I am martyering myself, which is a much grander and bigger role to them. So it's a completely brainwashed state of mind and not the aisle. You can't, I don't think you can

approach that with love. You can't love terrorists away from terrorism. Right. I mean, okay. I mean, there are reformed terrorism. There are terrorists who have stepped away and come out of it and will speak out against it. But I don't think you can approach this type of mentality on a general level with love. So there are some people who are just flawed and some of them

are crazy and some of them. I don't say flawed. No, I just think their belief system is completely different. You know, it's not a flaw. It's just their core, what they believe in is in their eyes. They're doing the work of God, you know, so it's not a flaw. It's just their beliefs are aligned incorrectly. That's what I mean, but that's what I meant by flaw. They're wrong. They're wrong about it. I mean, they see this and think somehow that's right way forward. Um, But, I mean, there's also an argument for, hey, these are people that are raised in extreme poverty and have little education. I mean, there's, again, it doesn't make it right. But yes, when you live your entire life or from the moment you've been born, not knowing where you're going to, next meal is going to come,

and you want to feed your family and you're young and uneducated, and you don't know the right for among. And again, coming from the culture, like faith is, faith is number one. Like your faith, you're brought up into it from the day you're born. It's important. It's the first thing you think about in your life, you know, every decision you make. So they're looking at it as trying to prove their faith, prove their love for God. So when you approach the wrong mentality from that angle, when you tell someone who doesn't know the difference that this is what God wants you to do, that's where they're going to go with it. They don't know anything else.

So what's the solution on the grand scale? Obviously there's some people you got to stand up to that only understand force, but those are the extremist terrorists or the dictators around the world that are oppressing people, right? Yeah. Okay. I think the approach is education, to be honest. I think the approach is bringing the youth and the poverty levels up, try to get them, you know, try to educate them first and first and foremost to know the true meaning of the religion. Because, I mean, I'm 30 years old. I was born a Muslim.

I was born in a Middle Eastern country. And just like all these other people, faith is a huge part of my life. I don't want to go kill everybody. I don't want to go kill nonbelievers. I don't have anything against. Everybody, did you guys? That doesn't want to kill everybody.

I don't want to go. You know, I have nothing against, uh, homosexuals or, or all, all the things that they believe against that they feel need to be eradicated is the exact opposite of what I was born and brought up. And I was brought up the exact same religion, you know?

So it's about being taught the correct way and what the true meaning of it is and education. But that's also long. term. To education, you're right. Long term, because what you're doing is, by educating people, you're empowering them to say, I'm not going to be oppressed by this dirtbag dictator, you know, land grabbing and torturing people in whatever

country. Short term, though, you're going to have to take some of those people out or at least stand up to terrorists, right? I mean, there's got to be an element of that. I mean, I talked to my family in Egypt, and there's no joke over there. It's like any suspects of terrorism, I mean, if there's like a building with terrorist suspects in it, they just bombed

building there's no courts there's no trial there's no you just take them out you know any cells are taken out wow that's uh at least they're taking it seriously I guess you know and remember most of the there was another bombing last night is that right there were I mean just in the last couple nights it's been hundreds of people and it's Ramadan still right or is that over yeah yeah yeah Romano no it's still Ramadan yeah but that's um that just continues and most of the people that are are tortured, murdered, injured, whatever by the extremist Muslims are other Muslims, not the extremist Muslims, but other Muslims.

And that's something you got to remember. These are still fellow human beings. And yeah, they need to at some point be able to stand up for themselves. But, you know, you got to be able to figure that out. All right, Dr. Thompson, in the Glenn Beck program. Can people listen to me and go, wow, Glenn's gone and suddenly they got the Muslim in. Glenn Beck. The Glenn Beck.

program. Doc Thompson in for Glenn today. There's a story at the blaze.com that's pretty interesting in that it actually proves that some of the things that you've claimed that others have said, oh, that's just crazy. What are you saying that for? May actually be true. I can't believe it. It always seemed kind of silly to me.

But when we've discussed the issue of gender and changing your gender and gender bathrooms and the fact that there's 180 whatever genders and all of this nonsense. You're 82. Some people say, well, you're transitioning, and you could claim to be this gender, and then you could claim to go back and all of this, where boys would be able to use that as an excuse to go into girls, restrooms, whatever, always seemed kind of silly that they would use this and flip-flop back. Story at the place says, yeah, somebody is already flip-flopping back and forth on gender.

Yeah, administrators at a New York high school forcing one student to pick a gender identity and stick with it after she's changed it twice. And it gets better. a sophomore student at Valley Stream South High School in Long Island. She was born a female. She told administrators she wanted to identify as a male. Gotcha. But the administrators

encouraged her to wait until the start of the new semester, given it was so close to the end of the year. They complied, though, with the students' request to begin referring to her with male pronouns. Okay, so she says, getting towards the end of the year and she's like, wait until... I'm a girl, but I identify as a boy,

and they're like... Because when she does that, that means there's certain things. The school has to do. They have to accommodate her new gender. And it's not just identifying as a boy. It's now you're tech, well, you're still a girl. You have girl parts, but you're identifying as a boy, which means you can't go into. So they have to plan for the restrooms and changing facilities. Okay. They said, we'll do that at the end of the year. She said, no, I want to. Do it right now. We'll do it now, though. Okay, got it. Did it. So then she chose to remain anonymous. Obviously, she told the post, the newspaper there, that the teachers and her fellow classmates made

the change. She felt comfortable in her new identity. That is until this. year when she decided to revert to her biological sex, which is female. And because she said that there was a family member who was about to enter the school that wasn't aware that she was identifying as a male. Oh, no, sorry. Well, see, that technically she is gender fluid because remember, we've talked about this. You're right. There's a cop in the UK.

The first cop that is identifying as gender fluid, which means... As two IDs. Right. It can be, feels female one day. identifies as male the next. So it goes back and forth. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. See, when I first saw this headline, I thought she was just like, no, I'm a girl now again. No, I'm a boy now. She's doing it because she doesn't want outed. My parents and friends knew, but some of my other relatives, mainly my grandparents, didn't know.

Well, here's the thing right here. And I know the whole gay pride thing. Isn't it supposed to be where like I'm proud of what I am and identify? Now you have to hide yourself to others? Well, especially gender. That seems. Okay. When they say, said there's an adult entering the school. What does that mean you're going to be a teacher or it means you're going to be showing up more? I don't get what she meant by that. He meant. The guidance counselor complied with the flip-flopping. There's a condition that the student had to sign a contract barring her from changing her identity again as long as she was a student at Valley Stream South High School. No. Sorry school. Can't do it. You cannot do that. Now, I'm not saying

I agree with all the flip-off. What I'm saying is if you can have her sign a form now, But you couldn't have her, him sign a form the first time? Yep. That's not consistent. This is not going to fly. In fact, that's a lawsuit. If you live in that community, you better get them in line because you're going to end up paying a whole bunch of your tax dollars to the eventual lawsuit that they're going to have to settle by this. I mean, I don't agree with all the craziness around it, but if you could just simply have somebody sign a contract, you'd do that already.

And I thought we just sent kids to school to learn, not to sign contracts about gender. Your gender doesn't matter. Go there and learn. Done. I mean, I get... You guys are so old. I know. That is so yesterday. I get that people want to feel comfortable going into certain bathrooms, whatever. It's really simple. Here's your solution. It's going to cost a little more up front, but once we get beyond it, it's pretty much done.

One bathroom, one person out. Done, zip, end of it. And then you can wear whatever the heck you want. Go by your name. You don't have to have a pronoun. Everybody just gets called whatever your name is. Bob. If your name's Bob, your name's Bob.

Give it to Bob. Give it to him. No, give it to Bob. That's how we'll run everything. And then we don't have to worry about this stuff. Cost more up front to change all the bathrooms in those facilities. And it's a little bit more than moving forward if you have to build new buildings with additional bathrooms. That's how you handle the bathroom in public places and out. A lot of private businesses have those anyways.

That's what I do. If I started a brick and mortar store tomorrow, absolutely. One bathroom, one person, there's a sink and a toilet in each one, and that's it. That way you don't have to worry about it. And I think that actually benefits people too, because sometimes you have two or three guys standing out waiting to go in. Meanwhile, the girls' bathrooms open or vice versa. That's going to increase lines at the bathroom. You think it will?

Oh, yeah. If you have one person, one bathroom, I mean, obviously you can't have four people in there. Well, no, but you'd have additional bathrooms. You don't have just one stall. If you have three stalls in a bathroom right now, you have three individual bathrooms is what you do. Hence, that's the additional cost. You can look over the top of stalls, though.

That's not comfortable. Couldn't you also use... Well, they wouldn't be stalls. They'd be full walls. If you go in it, I think a lot of Starbucks have them. And sometimes they'll have three. So instead of just a men's and a women's with a sink in a toilet in each one,

they'll have three like that, and they're all open. I don't know if Star Dives. I've seen some that have them like that. And that actually helps out. So you could calculate, and those are based on calculations. The number of stalls, and Brad does quite a bit of construction, stall building. You're going to say bathroom work. Bathroom work.

It's quite a bit of bathroom work. You've given up your bathroom work, haven't you? You weren't supposed to say that on the air, doc, thank you. It's calculated. You go, there's so many people expected to use them. You still use the same formula, but you'll need a little more space to make individual facilities. That's the way of those. Well, yeah, and that comes with an additional.

But that's the way to handle this. Why does this have to be a part of it? The reason it has to be a part of the narrative for these people is not because they feel awkward because you're calling them something. I don't think in most schools people are bullying based on this stuff. In fact, the whole narrative has been, let's not bully and make sure people feel comfortable.

It's not that. They are trying for validation. The same gay marriage. It's not about being able to live with somebody and be married to them, it's not about that for them. You can do just about anything and probably everything a married couple can do

or could do before gay marriage. You could live with them, you could have sex with them, you could actually give them power of attorney and put them on a lot of legal forms. Many businesses even allowed you to put them on your insurance if you claim they were your significant other civil union type thing. The only difference is you didn't get to say

married. which brings a certain level of validation. That's what's going with I identify as this person. And if you're transgender, it's got to be horrible for you. I don't hate you. I don't think you should be denied. If you want to be you, go be you fine. But just like gay and so many things we talk about,

can you stop requiring so much effort on my part because I got my stuff to worry about too? Just the fact that I'm straight doesn't mean my life is perfect. you're wandering around with this big problem that you've struggled with. You're transgender, you're gay, whatever it is. I get it. But that doesn't mean in my life, I don't have that. So I have no problems.

I have just as many serious problems as you do. You think that your only big issue in life is this thing you've carried around because it's so troubling to you. The rest of us have issues too. Go and live your life. Do what you want to do. Allow me to live without having to learn

whatever the hell your pronouns you want to identify and everything else and stop getting offended if I didn't learn them. By the way, there is the non-binary gender. I still don't understand this. The androgynous, the intergender, agender, multiple gender identities such as bigender or pangender, gender, gender, gender, amalgamalga gender? That's what I am. Amalgamagenda.

We all knew that about you. Oh, okay. Coming from Puerto Rico. What is Amalgamation? You have a definition? They are intersex and identify as intersex, known as amalgamalga gender. Okay, what is intersex then? That's amalgam.

You know, you'd be great writing for Joe Piscopo's website. Right, yes. Right. And if you have a culturally specific gender identity, which exists only within their or their ancestors' culture. Oh, okay. So now you're tying culture into it as well. So I grew up in a certain area or something. So those of you that grew up in Walla Walla, Waushington, you may know men that also...

Walla gender. Walla gender. You may know men who dress like women but are perfectly straight. They're not transgender. They just like to wear dresses. That would be a cross-dress. No, no, because it's unique to Walla-Wala because they, whatever. I don't know.

I'm just... Cross-a-wall agenda. Maybe, possibly. You could be working for these people that are creating the names for these old- understanding. I'm just trying to understand it. You know what I'm trying to do? I figure it out.

It is you're all privileged because you guys haven't suffered. Like, we have suffer. What am I again? Amalgamagenda. Amalgam. We haven't suffered like you? Like I've suffered like you. Trust me, we've suffered like you.

Because of you, we've suffered me around you. That's what I mean by that. The state of Illinois is now mandating that foster parents in the state, if you want to be a foster parent, you must be LGBTQ affirming. Meaning that... You have to agree with them. If you want to be a foster parent, you have to support them. You cannot have different opinions on LGBTQ. Well, there goes probably half of the people that adopt.

Roughly. I would think roughly. I mean, it may be a little more, a little less. It could be more. It could be 80%. You know, more conservative. They say towards at-risk youth. What is at-risk?

I thought at-risk meant you were poor, your violent tendencies, you do a lot of drugs, your sexually promiscuous, whatever. Does at-risk in this case mean those kids that may identify as LGBT-Q? I think either that or the kids that have been kicked out of their homes. for being gay?

Because if they mean, you might be right, but if they mean it is at risk, is it, well, you must be affirming, you must outwardly express that you support the idea and rights and whatever that comes with LGBTQ for kids that identify, you're calling them at risk? That seems like a failure of terminology

for people that are very sensitive about stuff. But they say if you, if you're a foster parent and there are at-risk youth, you will no longer be able to express your conservative perspective on anything related to the LGBT community. Those kids are not allowed to be exposed to your ideas, but probably hatred. Hatred. We'll get more on that coming up next after a quick break on the Glenn Beck program.

Blenbeck Program. Triple 877 back. Mercury. This is the Glenn Beck Program. So the state of Illinois now mandates that foster parents be LGBTQ affirming. Not tolerant, affirming. Not accepting affirming. And there's a difference.

Supportive. Supportive. Encouraging. Affirming. They must say, I actively support and agree with all of the ideas that surround whatever you claim LGBTQ. What does that look like? Does that look like I'm there with the prior parade, you know, with my rainbow flag, or the support out there, or I'm picking up.

gay kids out the streets. What does that look? And is the government making me sign a piece of paper? And what happens if I'm not affirming? Am I going to go to jail? Because I one day forgot to affirm? So you would not be able to say

I am a compassionate, loving Christian who disagrees with some of this stuff. And I will take you in and support you, not try to keep you down, not try to hurt you, not yell at you or convert you. I cannot do that

because that's not affirming. to what they believe. This was part of the enhanced department procedures that were signed into effect by their director on May 6th. And he went into great detail on what this means. He said that it's the responsibility of them to oversee the placement of some of the state's most vulnerable children as part of this, he has the new mandates. He said the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer slash questioning children and youth in the department's care, the agency will not tolerate exposing LGBTQ children and youth to staff slash providers who are not supportive of children and youth's right to self-determination of sexual gender identity.

Here's the thing with that. I'm not support the way of living, but as a Christian, I'm taught to love no matter what. No, you can't. I'm taught to. No, it doesn't matter. Wait, what you mean. That doesn't matter. But that's what my beliefs is of love and no matter what you are.

You have to support that. You have to support that way of thinking. Now, for people out there, especially people that may be LGBT community, certainly progresses, slash curious, slash trans, slash amalgamated. What was yours? Yeah, what was mine? Amalgamagenda.

Amalgam. Amalgam. Thank you. That are progressive. And for you, this is about caring. There's a lot of people who have to go. You don't understand. These children need help and caring, whatever.

I give you that. But as I told you, Christians can still be, and conservatives can still be very caring about this without injuring the children. And I would argue that if you support this nonsense from the state of Illinois, you're actually hurting them because you're denying how many people to be foster parents that is actually going to help these children. You're actually taking care away. you're hurting them even more because you're limiting the number of foster parents. Well, not just that. You don't know what that foster parent. Sorry if it dropped the G word.

What God has planned with that foster parent, that seed that he puts on that person's heart going to do for the future. Right. But you see what I point, though. If you're arguing caring, you're not actually caring for the children. What we're talking about actually does care. I can't believe you're just spewing this hate speech on it. All right. You know what?

Let's just wrap it up. It's a Friday. If you would, please follow. at Doc Thompson show at Real Chris Cruz at Cal 79 at The Blaze Brad. See you Monday morning on the Blaze Radio Network. More about me, Doc. By going to Theblaze.com slash doc. Have yourself a great weekend.
