Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Glenn back. Pat Gray and Jeffrey for Glenn today. AAA 900 or AAA 727BECK. It's the Beto hype machine is in full, full operation right now. Not only are they trying to say that Beto O'Rourke, who is the challenger that's taking on Ted Cruz for his Senate seat in November.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Not only are they saying that he's only one point behind Ted Cruz. Now they're talking about him for a potential run for the presidency in 2020. I mean, it's just getting ridiculous. Come on. Can we calm down a little bit? A huge article from Vanity Fair. It seems like Iowa in 2007 is Beto O'Rourke, the last. F's Obama-like answer to Trump in 2020?
Starting point is 00:01:04 They want him to be. No, no, he's not. They want him to be, though. That's why all the money's poor again. I think people are going to be really surprised when they find out this guy is white. I think they're going to be pissed. Wait, you're not Hispanic? Where did Beto come from?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Well, I culturally appropriated a Hispanic nickname. Well, it is. It's a Hispanic nickname. for Robert Francis O'Rourke, a guy who couldn't get any whiter or more Irish. So good. They're making it such a big deal out of him. The article mentions how he's visited
Starting point is 00:01:47 all 254 Texas counties in his Toyota Tundra. They followed him around like little lap dogs. He does these running town halls where he runs and then stops and they all, gather together on the lawn and he does a town hall and then they start running some more. So the guy can jog. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:11 That's the one I want in the Senate then. Or maybe even the office of the presidency if he can jog and then do a speech. Right. Not that I could do that. It's just that I'm not sure that qualifies the guy for office. But they're in love with him. The left, the media.
Starting point is 00:02:30 is just head over heels in love with Beto O'Rourke. This cannot happen. It can't. Not in the state of Texas. That's what I'm hoping. This cannot happen in the state of Texas. I mean, according to this latest poll, he's one point behind. I tend to doubt that a little bit, especially because they used registered voters for that poll, not likely voters.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And that could change it dramatically. If you eliminate those who, you know, they might be registered, but they're likely not going to, vote. I think Ted probably has, you know, he's got to be up by more than a point. I don't know what it is. I sure hope so. I don't know what it is. I hope that's right. I think in the end he maybe wins by 10. I hope. But again, I would like to say even maybe more. I'm pretty invested in this because I pledged to eat my underwear if Beto O'Rourke beats Ted Cruz. Really? Yes. He was up by, I don't know, 14 or 15 at the time. Plus, that was before, I mean,
Starting point is 00:03:33 Beto had still been, you know, they were getting behind him as the big push, but that was a little bit before. And I don't want to, I'm not making excuses for you, and you still will step up to the plate with your bet. But that was a little bit before the big Betto push. Yeah. And, boy, I mean, they have just, they, they love this guy.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And it's. Yeah, he's getting all kinds of money from out of state. Yeah. All kinds of California money. For whatever reason. in love with him. Better, better, better. Oh, yeah, and Ted Cruz.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah. I know. Ted Cruz is the U.S. editor, by the way. Bigger name on the line. And by the way, it did not appropriate any culture. That's right. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:14 If he did have a Hispanic nickname, it'd be okay. He's not appropriate again. Thank you. It's just, it's, it's kind of agonizing. And, and, you know, Ted is taking some time off. He's not even going back to Washington. this week for some of the votes. He's missing something because it's the campaign is so important right now.
Starting point is 00:04:35 He's actually campaigning right now and making sure that he shores up his base here. And I think, you know, there might be a problem with some complacency in Texas. We just, you know, you think that's Ted Cruz. He doesn't, he's not going to lose that. He's fine. I don't need to donate. He doesn't need that money because, well, Beto has outrazed him two to one. Two to one in this campaign.
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's unbelievable. That's a big chunk of change. Yeah, it really is. And again, I think it's in part because of complacency. We've also talked about the Trump thing. You know, he angered Trump fans at the Republican convention because he didn't endorse him. And then for those of us who kind of admired that because he stuck to his guns, two weeks later he did. And so then we were a little hacked off.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Right. But it's time to get over all that. Because it's a little scary. He's talked about as well the campaign when he was first running for Senate where they had held their money back. He used the phrase kept his powder dry until it got closer. Right. And then spent the money on, you know, promoting the campaign. So, you know, we're in the, you know, we're in the final drive, the final turn heading into November.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So maybe that's what he's doing. too as well as is, you know, making that push. But it does feel, and I say feel, because I don't know for sure, but it does feel like that needs to get a move on. Yeah, it does. And I think he feels that too. I think there's a sense of urgency now in the campaign and with the cruise people. And, you know, tomorrow's the first day of September.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So it's, it's time. It's time to start paying attention to this. It's time to start telling your conservative friends to get out and vote and make sure that we don't let this fall by the wayside and lose Ted Cruz in the Senate. That would be unbelievable. I know it's, you know, I know it's Democrats eating their own. But, you know, that's the same thing that kind of happened in New York with Cortez, right? I mean, he was just like, yeah, I'm not going to lose. I've been here forever.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm fine. Yeah, and he kind of took it easy. Right. And she hit the pavement, man. She was out there getting the press and it paid off. Right. Well, she's from, you know, she's Jenny from the block, essentially. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:58 She's from the hood. Except she wasn't. No, but she, but, you know, that 40 minute drive from the Bronx every day, from the Bronx where she lived to the school where they enrolled her 40 minutes away every day. Well, except that's, she didn't live in the Bronx that whole time. She lived near the school. So. But they based their whole. biography thing on that.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah, they sure did. That her, her, her, her life view was formed during that 40-minute commute. I don't know what the deal is because then, then you have this other Democratic socialist Salazar, who used to be conservative. Glenn interviewed her, in fact, in 2012. And like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, this Salazar lied about her. roots too. What was the deal there? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I mean, you've got to beef up your story, I guess, and make it sound it's not enough that you were born in Miami. In the case of Julia Salazar, she was born in Miami, claiming to be an immigrant. Well, wow, you immigrated all the way from
Starting point is 00:08:15 Miami? That's really something. It's amazing that they, I mean, we're almost dead. You know, I know that the head of Google a few years ago said people are going to have to change their identity and change their name because everything's going to be out there. We're pretty close to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I mean, everybody's been, and that means that you're going to have to make up a story about yourself, right? I guess. I don't know. You know, if you're going to have to change your name and you're going to have to make up some kind of story that changes everything so you're not known as the girl that was taking selfies, you know, with their top off in New Orleans last weekend. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I'm just so everything is out there now. So, you know, maybe that's what we're seeing. We're seeing the forefront of everybody just changing their name and telling us a story, which would be, I don't know, lying to us. Yeah. And I just wish they'd change their policies. I don't want socialism. And this socialist movement is just really sweeping this millennial generation, it seems.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And, you know, Ocasio-Cortez is in that generation. Julius Salazar is in that generation. you know, at the edge of that generation, you get a Beto O'Rourke who has virtually the same policies. I mean, you're talking about a guy who wants to bring socialism to the United States and is within one point in the state of Texas of actually being able to do something about that? And we can now add the governor's race in the state of Florida for our man, would I forget, Gillum, is that the name, Gillum, right? Andrew Gillum.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yeah, I mean, he's, uh, uh, Lien's way that way as well. Well, and he's, he's, I think he's an admitted socialist, isn't he? Trouble. I think he admits to being a socialist. We are in trouble. Uh, but fortunately we have, uh, Ron DeSantis. Oh, yeah, right. Who, um, I have no idea where he stands on any issue, but I do know this.
Starting point is 00:10:12 He loves Donald Trump. Um, and the proof of that. Does he said that before? I think he actually said it on one of his ads. Everyone knows my husband, Ron DeSantis is endorsed by President Trump. Okay. He's also an amazing dad. Ron loves playing with the kids.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Build the wall. He reads... He's actually building, you know, they're doing blocks there and putting a... Build the wall. Okay, that's really cute. Stories? Then Mr. Trump said, you're fired. I love that part.
Starting point is 00:10:41 He's teaching Madison to talk. Make America great again. People say Ron's all Trump, but he is so much more. Big League. So good. I just thought you should. should know. Ron DeSantis.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah, thanks for the information there. Ron DeSantis, for governor. So that's what stands between Florida and a socialist. But you know he loves Trump, so there you go. You're good. What else you need to know? You don't need to know anything else. AAA 727 BECK.
Starting point is 00:11:12 It's Pat and Jeffie for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. With Pat and Jeffie. Triple 8-27 back is our phone number. Big new movie coming out. You've probably heard about it. First Man. It's about the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. So it's getting rave reviews.
Starting point is 00:11:37 The trailer looks great. Yeah, it looks like. The trailer looks really good. It makes you want to see the movie. Ryan Gosling. I like him as an actor. And he's, I think, did he also direct this? He stars in it.
Starting point is 00:11:51 He did not direct it? I think so. Did he? executive produce it or something because he's talking like he had something to do with this particular decision that we're taking issue with. I hate it
Starting point is 00:12:06 when they do this kind of stuff because then it puts you in that quandary of well I don't want to support that but I don't want to miss the movie. It's just a matter of you know which is the more driving force to me. Do I want to see First Man more than I'm angry about them not planning
Starting point is 00:12:24 the American flag on the moon in the movie. So they skipped that whole event. You know, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, one of the things they did, one of the first things they did was to plant the American flag. That wasn't a sign that America claims the moon for our own. No, in fact, we made a point about that. It just meant we did this.
Starting point is 00:12:49 We were here. Okay? We set out to do this in a decade and we did it. and it's quite an achievement and nobody else has ever done it. To this day, here we are almost 50 years later and it's still never been done again. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Except by us over and over until we got tired of it. We just kind of got bored. We're like, okay, we've been there, done that. Yeah, well, we found out. I mean, Armstrong even said later that the United Nations tried to hone in on putting their flag up. You know, and they could. When the United Nations gets to the moon, why go ahead and plant the UN flag?
Starting point is 00:13:33 That'd be great. But that's when we decided that it was going to be our flag, but we weren't going to make any territorial claim. Right. Yes. So if you want to go to the moon, go. Exactly. You want to put your flag up there. You can do it.
Starting point is 00:13:45 As soon as Mexico is able to get to the moon, they can plant the Mexican flag on the moon. I don't care. Well, Pat. I mean, let's not get ridiculous. But seriously, if any other country were to have done this, how we would not be having an argument over whether their flag was going to be in the movie. No, I'd be in the movie. Absolutely. 100%.
Starting point is 00:14:08 If it was the Soviet Union that beat us there, the Soviet Union flag would be planted in this movie. A hundred percent believe that. So is it just something, though, that maybe they just didn't focus on, it just wasn't part of their story? story. No, this was a conscious decision not to plant the American flag on the moon in this movie. Ryan Gosling said, I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement, and that's how we chose to view it. I also think Neil was extremely humble. Well, that's true, but so what? As were many of these astronauts, and time and time again, he deferred the from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible.
Starting point is 00:14:59 You mean the 400,000 Americans who made it possible? Yeah, it wasn't 400,000 Soviets or Chinese or French. It was 400,000 Americans. And even if it did transcend countries and borders, as Ryan likes to call it, okay, good. Yes, it did. Great. And I know that Neil Armstrong... It was still an American achievement.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You know, didn't see himself as an American hero, Ryan. No, he just saw himself as an American. Thank you. I don't think he did consider himself a hero. But he, I think he did consider himself an American. Absolutely. He even, he said that, look, my job was to get the flag there. You know, I left the debate over what flag was going to be there to, you know, he, I think he is what was smarter minds or whatever it was. But the deal was is that it was our flag because we decided that, no, United Nations, it wasn't you that did this.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It was us. And we won't claim the moon. If you want to go there, you can go there. But we're putting our flag there. And how proud at the time. I mean, this is just absolutely. It's agonizing. It really, really makes me angry.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah. I mean, one of the proudest moments in the country that we've tried to relive how many times. It's one of mankind's biggest achievements. And it was done by Americans. And it was done after the vision was laid out for us by JFK. And he said, in the next decade, we will do this. And we will do it because, not because it's easy, but because it's hard. And they got it done.
Starting point is 00:16:33 And it cost a lot to get it done. Yes, it did. Both in blood and treasure. And so to rewrite history when you do the movie about it is ridiculous. It's insulting. It is insulting. and it's disappointing because I you know I've been hearing about this movie I know we played the trailer it looks great I really want to see this movie and I hate supporting this kind of crap but you know everybody's going to go to it anyway
Starting point is 00:17:06 everybody's going to go to it anyway because on the right we don't we don't we don't take that stand we don't we don't hear about a restaurant that donated $25,000 to Democrats and then say oh I'm never going to eat at that restaurant again. I'm going to boycott and lead a charge to boycott that restaurant. That's because I want to go to that restaurant. Right. I like the food, so I'm going to go there and eat. I like the double
Starting point is 00:17:34 cheeseburgers, please. We like movies, so we continue to go to movies. Now, I don't know, has Robert De Niro pissed you off to the point where you're not going to watch any of his movies anymore? Because I know you were on the bird. I'm at the point, really. I think so, yeah. He's gone so
Starting point is 00:17:50 that you can't actually swear off his movies. I watched, I went to watch one of his movies that I really love that was on some channel not long ago score and he's a thief, you know what I mean, it's just part of the movie. But I mean, I love the movie and I made it about halfway through and I just couldn't take it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I can't, I can't watch it anymore. So I think he has. This was post-boycott decision? Yes. Yeah, okay. But you did start. I did start. Yeah, I did start.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And I love the movie. You know, I love this. It's a stupid movie, but it's just, I can't. It's just so frustrating. I don't know. Maybe this is not as big a deal as we're making out of, but it really really hit me the wrong way today. Me too.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Why are you rewriting history? The fact is an American flag was planted on the moon. So when you're telling that story, it just makes sense to show that scene because it's iconic and everybody knows it's there. If you wanted to make a point, like what they talked about, they could make a big point of the argument over what flag should be there. And make the United States look like the bad guy, which wouldn't surprise me, that they would do that. With Pat and Jeffey today, boycotts. The left does boycotts all the time. All the time.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I mean, this In-N-Out Burger story is just so silly, so ridiculous. They heard that in-and-out gave $25,000 to, the Republican Party in California. And so everybody jumped on social media calling for a boycott just because they gave $25,000 to the Republican Party. Really? That is unbelievable. That sure is. When do we get here? This is a pretty recent trend, I think, that just the donation
Starting point is 00:19:45 means that you've got to attack people and you've got to silence them and you've got to punish them. They either have to lose their job or they have to lose their livelihood in some way because they donated to a cause? Come on now. Come on. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Look, I'm, I'm a fan of an hamburger. In an Alburger? Yeah. Their burgers are great. I mean, the rest of the fries and the shakes are. The fries are not good. No, and the shakes are, could be a lot better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:18 However. And they are at Chick-fil-A. Yes, they are at Chick-fil-A. So, and I'm not opposed, and I'm not saying this has ever happened in my life, of getting chick-fil-a burgers, I mean, chick-fil-a shakes, and then getting in and out burgers. I'm not saying that's ever happened in my life, but it could. It could happen.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It could happen. Yeah, and you wouldn't boycott either place if they donated to a Democrat cause. I don't care. Yeah, I mean, it's silly. If you start boycotting everything that's done by people that disagree with you politically, first of all, you're not going to have any entertainment choices at all. You're not going to be able to listen to any music or see any movies or watch any TV shows. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And so when you start to get into something that we were just talking about that really hacks both of us off today, when in the movie First Man, they made a conscious decision not to show the planting of the American flag. So it's like they never. The most iconic moment. Yeah. Yeah. Of the moon landing. So you're not going to, you're not going to plant the flag on the moon. It's there. Why are you rewriting history? Well, it's an achievement. that transcends borders and countries.
Starting point is 00:21:28 No, it was an achievement done by America. The United States of America was able to achieve that. Nobody else was. And was it a transcendent moment? Yes, but it was a transcendent moment done by us. And we were happy to share with the world of our accomplishment. Right. We let you watch it on TV with the rest of us.
Starting point is 00:21:52 So congratulations, rest of the world. I will say I was reminded during the break that we probably shouldn't be so upset over it. Because it's fake. It was fake anyway. Oh, those are the moon landing? So just stop watching about it. Yeah, because it was done on a soundstage in Arizona or something. Or was it Nevada?
Starting point is 00:22:12 I don't know. No one does. There's actually, what, 11% of the country that believes that? I might even be more than that now. Yeah, it might be higher than that. Yeah, it's amazing. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. So is it worth boycotts?
Starting point is 00:22:30 We've kicked this around a little bit as to whether or not the right should boycott more people or more products or more sponsors. I mean, we've seen that if done right, it works. It sure does. If done right, it works. Sure does. And we obviously have not done it, right? Or we just don't do it and participate in it. We pretty much don't do it at all.
Starting point is 00:22:50 But when it's done and you make noise on social media, you get, you get news stories about it, companies bend. Yeah, they do. Oh, they cave almost immediately. Well, already, in and out burger started saying, hey, whoa, we give equally to both parties. Yeah, take a look. Yeah, we gave $25,000 to the Democrat Party too. And 25,000 to Republicans. And that kind of ticks me off because that won't be good enough.
Starting point is 00:23:20 It won't be good enough. No, it will not. I mean, the one guy lost his job over donating money to a cause that failed. Right? I mean, the guy in California gave money to the abortion cause that failed in California, and they found out he gave money to it, and they still ran him off for donating money. I mean, it's not good enough. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:23:43 No. AAA 727BECK. Let's go to Joel in Georgia. Joel, you're on the Olympic program. How's it going, Pat, and Jeffrey? Good. Good. So my question for you to guys today is with regards to the current trajectory of the Democrat Party.
Starting point is 00:24:00 If it goes further socialist than it is currently, and people are just sick and tired of, like, from my perspective, I feel that America might see the death of the Democrat Party in some way as if it were the Whig Party of the past and another party could take a place, it's placed in the vacuum. such as the Libertarian Party because it seems more reasonable than Democrats right now? I mean, what would your thoughts be about that? I mean, I'd like to see something like that happened, but I doubt that it will because I think, thanks for the call, Joel. I think Democrats have been largely accepting of the socialism coming out of their party. Look at them. They almost nominated Bernie Sanders for their presidential candidate.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You've got an avowed socialist, and you know he's a socialist, and he makes no bones about it, and he wants to bring socialism to the health care system, socialism to the educational system, you name it, and he wants the government to run it. So Democrats accepted all that. They've accepted it from Ocasio-Cortez. They've accepted it from Julius Salazar. They're accepting it from Beto O'Rourke. I don't know that it goes away.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I think the Democrats just become socialists named Democrats. And maybe they morph into the Democratic Socialist Party. I don't know. And just use both monikers because that's what a lot of them are doing. That's what they're doing. But to be replaced by libertarians, that's something that would be too good to be true. Yeah, you're not going to get that. I don't see that happening.
Starting point is 00:25:49 That's a shame. It is. It is a shame. And it's the anger on the left is just so palpable. And they're so angry about, well, Donald Trump, for one thing. And they hate him so much that all their energy is going down that path. Their energy isn't going to, hey, you know what? let's bring this maybe the party has gone a little too far to the left let's pull it back a little bit let's come back to the center a little bit
Starting point is 00:26:23 they're they're too unfocused for that it seems like like we look at it and say well they've gone so far left and uh you know maybe they do need to pull back a little bit and right now uh the blue wave that is supposed to be uh you know bringing doom to us has not happened so if it doesn't happen perhaps then you say to yourself well maybe if that doesn't happen they'll say to themselves maybe they wake up you know maybe we do need to wake up a little bit however it appears that what will happen is they'll just get madder and saying we're too dumb we're not smart enough to know we didn't go far enough and we have to go far right we have to continue on that course farther down the road and that's what appears to be happening I would hope that they would see the light and come back a little bit You know, that's probably too far.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Nope. Stu just discussed this on the TV show, filling in for Glenn last night. Is Democratic socialism really the future of the Democratic National Committee? And I think it is. Absolutely it is. I think it is. I mean, they're totally embracing it. We played the audio of what's his face saying.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Perez saying that it's the future. Yeah. That Cortez is she's the future. Right. Okay. Head of the party. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:39 All right. Andrew in New York. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jevi. Hi, how's it going this morning? Good. I heard your mention of the boycott of the burger joints because of donations to the Democrat Party, or sorry, the Republican Party. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And up here in New York, or as some call it, Cuomo Slovakia, which... I like that. Yeah, it's good. It's proving to be more and more true. I worked for the state parks over in Sackets Harbor, and I was a social worker for a little time, and you're mandated whether or not you're in the union to pay union dues,
Starting point is 00:28:24 or at least you were up until the Supreme Court decision there. The CSDA, they don't really give a flying fig if you're a Republican or a Democrat. They'll just donate to the Democrats willy-nilly. basically, essentially making you donate to causes and campaigns that you otherwise wouldn't. Yeah. So left has their free choice of boycotting things that they don't want to fund by boycotting this burger joint. But what about the rest of us who, you know, we paid our union dues and ended up donating to things we never wanted to?
Starting point is 00:29:10 That's a great point. It would have been good for a boycott to me. Yeah. And that happened for what, 40 years that that rule was in place? Thanks, Andrew. Like 40 years. And like he said, before the Supreme Court finally, finally put a stop to that. Rick in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Hi. Hey, guys. How you doing today? Doing good. I've got a theory about the flag on the moon not being shown. Okay. And I know this is a stretch. But, you know, there's a lot of flat earthers out there and moon landing deniers who will say we didn't really land on the moon.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And as part of that evidence, they will point to the flag on the moon and say, see, it's not real. It's fake. So perhaps the movie producers said, look, we'll just leave this out. So that way, there'll be less evidence for the fake moon landing people to stand on. Is that a stretch? A little bit of a stretch, I think. Yeah, maybe. It works a little, though.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Thanks, Rick. It works a little. Plus, you know, I was thinking, okay, so we boycotts. Do boycotts work? Yeah, they work. But the thing is, in the end, you know, in the end, for first man. As you said, we're going to want to see it. Yes, we are.
Starting point is 00:30:31 It's going to be a really good movie. It's going to be a really good movie. And you're going to be pissed for a second when you see that they don't plant the flag. They don't plant the flag. In the movie. Right. And in the end, then you're going to walk out. going, well, it's just a movie.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Yeah. It's just the movie. And everybody knows the flag was there, so shut up. And while that's probably what's going to happen to us in most of America, it's a shame that it does. Because that's how things, I mean, we're just talking. Those boycotts work. Yeah, they do. Those boycotts work.
Starting point is 00:31:01 When you deny people making money, that speaks pretty loudly. Yes, it does. And so if the movie made, you know, $38 at the box office. That would make quite a statement. Yes, it would. To its producers. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:18 It would send a strong message to them. However, that's not going to happen. No. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. The latest nonsense from the left is this called-for boycott of In-N-Out Burger because they gave $25,000 to the Republican Party in California. by the way they also this election cycle gave um 80,000 dollars for, uh, to Californians for jobs and a strong economy, which is a committee focused on electing business friendly Democrats to the state legislature.
Starting point is 00:32:00 So. So. So. Well, you know, hopefully it's good enough, but I don't think it will be because it doesn't ever seem to be. No, it's not. in this climate where Democrats are boycotting everybody who even looks at a Republican,
Starting point is 00:32:17 they've got to tear hats off people's heads. They've got to slap teachers. Grown men are throwing drinks in the faces of teenagers and stealing their caps if they're Trump supporters. You've got to shout and yell and scream
Starting point is 00:32:33 and surround Trump supporters in public at restaurants or at a department store or wherever you see them. It's just a it's a ridiculous environment right now. It most definitely is. And they've done, I mean, In and Out and Chick-fil-A, you know, they've all done stories about how they pay their managers well, how they treat their employees well, how they pay
Starting point is 00:32:52 their employees well, how they go out of their way for the employees. And it's not good enough because they believe in the Bible. Don't they, I'm hearing, because I never go to In-N-N-Alberger, but they print Bible verses on their rappers and things. It's the story that I was reading. It mentions that. And I did not know that either because when I go to In-N-Out Burger for my double-double, I'm paying attention to the double-double, not the rapper.
Starting point is 00:33:17 But yeah, they do. They have Bible, you know, like Proverbs 3-5 on cups for milkshakes. And the water cup has John 416146. And, you know, great. I'm surprised the left hasn't freaked out over that. I know, but that's coming. Long before now. I know.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah. Atheists claiming. discrimination. How could I eat a burger with a rapper mentions? Uh-huh. You're right. AAA. That is. 727 Beck. It's amazing that they've gotten away with that. Yeah. It's amazing. Pat, in South Carolina, you're on the Glenbeck program. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Yeah, I just remember a few years ago, they, you know, the left called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A because of their religious beliefs. And all it really did was bolstered their business for quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yeah, that's for sure. You couldn't get near a Chick-Pellate. You couldn't get near a restaurant. They were lined up around the block. There was people holding up signs, support Chick-fil-A, support our rights, et cetera. That's because the... And, you know, I really hope that happens in California. I do, too.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I do, I do, I do. The Wright really responded to that, though. The Wright, appreciate the call-pat. The Wright got behind Chick-fil-A and specifically supported them afterwards. Yeah. Yeah, that was really good. That was a good move. Yeah, that was.
Starting point is 00:34:37 That helped a lot. Network On Demand. Glenn back. Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn on this Labor Day weekend. Hard to believe it's already, we're already at Labor Day weekend. We're here, baby. Wow, did that go by fast.
Starting point is 00:34:59 College football. Yeah. Oh, last night was loaded with college football. And some NFL preseason, too. And then tomorrow, of course, is start of the BYU football season, which I know everybody's I know everybody's been on the edge of their seat I mean this entire building is
Starting point is 00:35:16 I tell people stop talking about BYU football. Last night the rival University of Utah played their opening game against Weber State that's a tough Why is that a problem? That's not a problem
Starting point is 00:35:35 They sneak They just squeaked by 41 to 10 Good teams usually start the season with a few a few teams that they can beat to get the ball rolling. You're out. You don't want to step right into the season up against big teams. Well, except for BYU is doing just taking on Arizona this weekend in Tucson. Arizona's got the, I mean, BYU has got a tough five game schedule.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah, they do. Yeah, the September schedule is ridiculous. Arizona, Cal, also on that schedule, Wisconsin, Washington, all in September. oof. It's a it's a gutlet. But, you know, if if they go 5-0
Starting point is 00:36:17 during those 5 games, Jeffie has vowed to eat my underwear. So I got to believe a lot of people are rooting for a 5-0 be what you start. They could root all they want.
Starting point is 00:36:28 It ain't going to happen. It's going to happen. Just because that would just be such great karma for that time. It would be so sweet. Why would you had to eat my underwear? Oh my gosh. I don't understand. I mean, what a dream come true that would be. And on top of that, you'd be 5 and O. Right. Yes. Your BYU
Starting point is 00:36:53 Cougars would be 5 and 0. I mean, most importantly. So sure, there's some side benefits to it. I like that. I like it. Interesting comment from LeBron on an HBO show called The Shop. it's actually executive produced by him in fact but he said when he was in high school he had a severely anti-white perspective because of his upbringing he said when he first got to the ninth grade in high school I was on some I'm not effing with white people kick
Starting point is 00:37:30 said I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood it was like they don't eff with us they don't want us to succeed. So I'm like, I'm going to the school to play ball and that's it. I don't want nothing to do with white people. So if you don't want nothing to do with them, that must mean you do want something to do with them. Do I have that right?
Starting point is 00:37:57 I think so, yeah. He says that was my initial thought and my initial shock to white America. when I was 14 years old for the first time of my life, it took me a little while to adjust to it. Now, if this was a white person saying this about blacks, would that be okay? Would that be acceptable? Would that, if that, if this is a white athlete that everybody likes, saying that he, uh, didn't want nothing to do with no black people when he was a teenager,
Starting point is 00:38:29 would everybody say, well, it's great that you made that trend. It's so great that you changed. you changed like that. That's really, wow, that's powerful. Good question. I wonder. I wonder. The answer is doubtful. Yeah, I think it is. That is very, very doubtful that that would be the case. I think that white person probably loses their livelihood. You know, if in and out burger can't give $25,000 to Republicans and not face a boycott, well, certainly a white person couldn't say something like this. It's just a double standard It's gotten so Double standard
Starting point is 00:39:06 And that's so old Even with You know our Our former president Barack Obama Yes When I mean he talked about the same thing Right
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah he did He had a real struggle with race And he talks all about it In dreams from my father So and that's a wonderful thing According to the world Yes Oh they celebrated it
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yeah Yeah And he said the New York Times published a comprehensive detailing of the allegations made against Representative Keith Ellison by his ex-girlfriend, Karen Monaghan. It's a long, they say it's a long and sad story with little resolution. Now, this guy was under these allegations when he was, when he won the nomination for Attorney General in Minnesota. a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Right. And it didn't matter to people then. And I don't know that it matters now. But what's interesting about this in this Me Too age? The, his ex-girlfriend claims she has a video, right? And people are asking to see it. Well, okay, if you've got a video of him.
Starting point is 00:40:20 They claimed there was video of the abuse. Yeah. Let's see it. Prove it. Which we said from day one. Which we said, by the way, let's see it. All along. And look, I can't stand, Keith.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Ellison. I think he's hideous. Politically, he's reprehensible as a human being. I don't like him. However... And we probably would not because of the abuse, but it would be nice to see him take a few... Yes. Come down a couple of notches.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It sure would. It sure would. And this would be something that would bring him down. However, people have been asking to see the tape. Now, his ex-girlfriend, Monaghan, has stated that she won't produce a tape. Right. She told Minnesota Public Radio in an interview because it, I'm quoting now, sets the expectation for survivors of all kinds of forms of abuse, whether it be abuse toward women, abuse from police officers, abuse from other people in power, to have to be the ones like I'm doing right now to show and prove their stories. Well, yeah. That's kind of the way it works.
Starting point is 00:41:28 You're the accuser. He's the accused. And in the United States of America, the accuser must prove that the accused committed a crime. There's something called innocent until proven guilty. Hmm. Not just innocent until accused of something. Oh, well, he was accused. Well, I just, then we just automatically believe her.
Starting point is 00:41:52 That's it. Oh, my gosh. That's it. We're done. So I mean, you can't, I don't know that you can, uh, a scrues. any credibility to her now, to her claims. I mean, I don't know that anyone actually has. Have they?
Starting point is 00:42:05 No. For real? Yeah, I don't know. It keeps coming up and the New York Times did a huge spread on it yesterday. And they... I'm sure the New York Times would love... I mean, they're fans of, hey, we're going to accuse somebody. They're done.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Oh, okay. But you wouldn't think they'd be doing that in the case of Keith Ellison. Because, you know, that's one of their people, Keith Ellison. but they actually printed her claims regarding that relationship, including that he narcissistically abused her and committed soul rape. Wait, what? Soul rape? Yeah, I'm sure that there's video of that as well.
Starting point is 00:42:50 If there is video of that, I want to see that because I want to know what that is. No, they're sitting in the living room. They're sitting in the living room. sitting in the living room. And he's raping her soul. You can tell. Oh, boy. I'd like to see it.
Starting point is 00:43:02 I would like to. I have a feeling I know what she means and that's that's pretty much what it is. You know, she's, he's just. You know what it is. I think so. You understand soul, right? I do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:14 All right. There anything you want to tell us that you've maybe been through this, experienced it? No. No. No. No. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I mean, I have experienced it. You've experienced soul, right? Yeah. all right I work in this building you're treated like a king in this building don't give me that oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:43:38 AAA 727 B-E-C-K so you know when you've got somebody who claims to have a video of something like this of some sort of abuse and then refuses to show it because she shouldn't have to prove it and mad because now we don't believe her yeah stop it no
Starting point is 00:43:57 I'm sorry. That made it completely illegitimate to me. I don't believe her at all anymore. Yes. And that was from the beginning, right? I mean, she didn't even want to be a part of this, right? It was her kids that started this whole madness. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:10 But she backed up what her kids were saying. Right. And okay, that's great. And we were all for it and thought it was horrible. And man, what a bad guy. And how could something like this happen? I mean, how could we let this something like this happen? Let's try to help you and put a stop to it.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Show us what you're talking about. No. No, I'm not going to. Just believe what I tell you. Yeah, I shouldn't have to do that. Well, yes, you should. You're the accuser. Sorry, that's how it works here.
Starting point is 00:44:34 In fact, I'm not sorry about that. That's how it works here. And I like the fact that it works that way. Yeah, no, we appreciate it. Yeah. AAA 727 BECK. Brett in Pennsylvania. You're on the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Yes, I wanted to confront you guys on the socialist Democrat embracing that's been going on. I just read an article in the Atlantic today with Elizabeth Warren, and she is essentially embracing capitalism saying, I'm a capitalist. And then she went on to say a few things, and it sounded a lot like Glenn's type of stuff about how the bigger corporations are using crony capitalism to shut out smaller businesses and competition and things like that.
Starting point is 00:45:13 So I was wondering if you thought maybe she was pivoting away from the social democratic angle and going maybe going to go towards the, I'm a capitalist and here, you know, and kind of rebranding herself from the, you know, we, you didn't build this, a packaging that she currently is wrapped up in. Yeah, I think she's paying lip service to that. And maybe she feels like, okay, we're not there yet where we can all just embrace socialism and just admit to socialism. Because she sees that in every case of a Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed candidate, they've lost.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And that's what, eight or nine people so far? every single time this socialist has endorsed a candidate they've lost their election and I'm sure you know she's a hip enough politician to realize that we're maybe not quite to the point now where you can come right out and say it. So I think she's paying
Starting point is 00:46:06 lip service to capitalism like Barack Obama used to do every once in a while. Appreciate the call, Brett. Yeah. Well, that's my guess anyway. Right. Because she's pretty left wing. Absolutely. And she just not long ago talked about it. I was just trying to bring it up. She just not long ago talked
Starting point is 00:46:22 about nationalizing all the businesses. Right. Yeah. So I have a feeling that that's her saying that, look, I'm a capitalist. Yeah. That is the Barack Obama way. Every once in a while, just to throw it out there so he could see, so that he could say and his supporters could say, well, no, he talks about capitalism.
Starting point is 00:46:41 He loves capitalism. He used to say it once in a while. I'm a capitalist. I love capitalist. I'm a capitalist. Then he usually follow that up with, I do think at some point you made enough money. Correct. I'm a capitalist.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I love this country, but you know, there's got to be a time when we step up and help these businesses be fair. That's what they do. That's what they do. Now, Elizabeth Warren is old school. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is from the new school, and she's just, she's fine with saying it. Elizabeth Warren's not quite there yet. 3,8-27-B-E-C-K. Speaking of football, as we were a few minutes ago, the season really getting, really getting
Starting point is 00:47:23 really gets rolling this weekend for college football and then next week the NFL kicks into gear. Yes. Also next week, a week from today on Pat Gray Unleashed, which starts every day immediately following the show on the Blaze Radio and Television Network. We will be doing, we are bringing back moron trivia. Yes, baby.
Starting point is 00:47:45 The second hour of Pat Gray Unleashed, beginning next Friday. Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears. to kick it off. I love it. One week from today. I'm excited. It'll be fun. Yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be fun. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Craig in Ohio. Hi, you're on the Glimbeck program. Hello, guys.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Hey. I wanted to bring up a point of, you know, what I saw Trump do this past election, I saw him mobilize a lot of Democrats, in my opinion, to vote for him. I see him mobilizing the Hispanic base, the African-American base, over to the Republican side. But where the Democrats are now becoming Democratic Socialists, I feel the old conservative mantra, the old Republican mantra, we also need to morph, right?
Starting point is 00:48:33 So I feel if we lose the House this November, it will be because, for instance, a lot of Democrats in Ohio that voted for Trump aren't ready to vote for Steve Shabbard, who's been in Congress, you know, 20-plus years has the old, almost the old, you know, things of Adam. or Harry's probably anti-gay marriage, he's anti-this, anti-this. I feel that that skin needs to be shed almost, and Trump's started us down that path.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I think there's a lot of people that traditionally voted Democrat that are ready to brace conservative ideas, but just not all of them. I think we need to change the party fundamentally a little bit. I'm a millennial myself, always been Democrat, or excuse me, voted Republican, but there's things a Republican Party,
Starting point is 00:49:19 and we heard more about it under, Obama and then we do Trump, but for instance, gay marriage. I personally don't care, my friends don't care whether two guys, two women want to marry each other. We just don't. It's not important to us. We want to raise our kids. We want to be raised, you know, we want to be left alone. We want everybody to be able to live their lives. That's the point, though, right? We want to be left alone. Stay out of our lives. Correct. Now, that's not to say, hey, we're ready for, you know, everybody be able to use whatever bathroom they want, and I don't think that's what people want. But I think the
Starting point is 00:49:50 Republican Party as a whole needs to re-examine themselves and say, hey, maybe some of the old hardline stances, we need to embrace these Democrats now. You know, my father's a team, so 30-year teamster, he now votes Republican because of Trump and some of the new ideas. But we need to embrace these Democrats that are fed up with that socialist title. And really, I think we can gain back control of the country for a long, long time and not even have to worry about losing the House in the November election, if that makes sense. Yeah, I mean, I understand what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks, Craig. I think the party, to a certain extent, has already embraced Trumpism. And that includes a lot of what you're, what you outlined. I, you know, as far as as the same-sex marriage thing, yeah, that horse left the barn. So, I mean, there's no sense to even talking about it, really, right now because it's over. That debate's over.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Supreme Court ruled on that. I don't know if you want to make it. issue to try to reverse that trend. That would be a tough battle. And so, yeah, maybe you leave that alone. But there's a lot of things that the Trump believes that I don't necessarily want to adopt in the Republican Party. And so I'm not sure I'm on board with changing the fundamental platform of what the
Starting point is 00:51:15 Republican Party should stand for or once stood for. It doesn't really stand for that anymore. It seems to me. Because everybody's giving up on their principles, right? We just give in. Yes. We just caved. And so, you know, if you have certain beliefs religiously, there is a reason for the beliefs that people have and the things that we fight for.
Starting point is 00:51:39 And so a lot of those have just been flushed down the toilet in the Trump age. And it's not about those principles. anymore. It's about what Trump believes. And I don't know that I want to continue in a party like that, quite frankly. I'm more concerned about the principles than I am
Starting point is 00:52:01 whether or not Trump supports them. And I guess I'm alone on that because, I mean, as we played earlier, listen to this Desantis ad. Everyone knows my husband Ron DeSantis is endorsed by President Trump, but he's also an amazing dad.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Ron loves playing with the kids. fill the wall. He reads stories. Then Mr. Trump said, you're fired. I love that part. He's teaching Madison to talk. Make America great again. People say Ron's all Trump, but he is so much more.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Bigley. Is he? So good. I just thought you should know. So embarrassing is what that is. So, so embarrassing. What you got, Florida? What you got?
Starting point is 00:52:46 But is it better than the socialist? Yes. Yes. Yes, he is. Would I vote for DeSantis over Gillum? Yes. Yeah. I don't even know what he stands for, though. I mean, you know. Well, he believes in a lot of things bigly. He believes in the cult of Trump. And is that enough for people? It would certainly push him into that slot where he's at. I mean, Adam Putnam was winning. until Trump rubber-stamped DeSantis.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Yeah. So. Yeah, it's amazing. It's just amazing. So do we want a big tent party? Yeah, I guess. As long as you don't have to compromise your principles. Do we want Democrats to be comfortable voting Republican?
Starting point is 00:53:35 Well, yeah, unless you have to compromise your principles. AAA 727 back. Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn. Happy Labor Day weekend. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. I wasn't necessarily talking to you. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I mean, I just thank you anyway. Okay. Al Gore was just on, I don't know, some local TV news station where they did kind of a little feature on him and they asked him, what do you say to these climate change deniers? Take it from Mother Nature. Every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the book of revelations. I love that line. He uses it all the time. That's a that's a go-to line for him.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Take it from Mother Nature. Every night is like a nature hack through the book of Revelation. First of all, Al. It's the book of Revelation. Not the Book of Revelations. Okay. Secondly, I have not gone on a nature hike through the Book of Revelation weather-wise every night. What are you talking about? It's unbelievable the stuff that comes out of his stupid mouth.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Look around in the news. Look around. Every night is like a nature hike through the book of revelations. Former Vice President Al Gore visits downtown L.A. as the Trump administration feuds with California over environmental regulations. So if he's watching this, he being of course Donald Trump. It's your message to President Trump when it comes to climate. Oh, my only message would be resign. Oh, that's brilliant. My only, my only recommendations would be to resigns.
Starting point is 00:55:32 I don't mean to be flipping about it. I don't think. I don't mean to be flipping about it, but I'm going to be flippant about it. He is prepared to listen to advice about the importance of clean air and clean air. That's something that ticks me up about the advice. environmentalists. What? They are always, always in, and I say our faces, because I, you know, I'm a clamid
Starting point is 00:56:01 denier. I know on record. They, uh, that we aren't willing to listen. But they're the ones. Right. Who are telling us all the time. That refused to listen to the facts. Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Right. That really ticks me off. You are right. Because if you came to us. They tell us that there's no discussion to have. Right. There is discussion to have. If there's a problem, let's fix it.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, let's listen. Let's talk to each other about it. Come on this show. Come on this show and debate us about it. He won't do that. He would never do that, ever. I've tried, believe me. When an inconvenient truth came out, their criteria was, and I was in Houston at the time.
Starting point is 00:56:42 They always have this list of gigantic things you've got to do just to maybe get an interview. You have to go see the movie. Okay. I went to see the movie. So I went to see the movie and then I called back. It's okay, I met your criteria. Let's have it. Mr. Gore isn't doing any interviews.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Oh, is that why I see him on some interview every freaking night? A recent report shows climate change in California is likely going to be worse than originally thought. Oh, it's likely going to be worse. It's likely going to be worse than we thought. I love how they've ratcheted this thing up because none of their predictions have been true so far, but we're supposed to believe this one. Okay, so every prediction you've made so far has not come to pass. But now it's going to be worse in all of that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Higher temperatures, higher temperatures, higher temperatures, more fires, more deaths. In fact, we're finding that, in fact, we're finding some of those developments from your book of revelations every night on the news is caused. but directly from, uh, from things that we've done because you said we had to that were wrong. Yeah. Directly. Yeah. And it's like, please. Yeah, it might get worse if we allow you to continue with your regulations.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Tell us it's going to get worse. If we don't change, we've got to listen. We need to put the price on carbon. We need to conserve energy. We need to switch over to renewable sources. Yeah. Of electricity. You need.
Starting point is 00:58:17 to continue to pad my bank account. You need to continue to make me a richer man. I'm the first ever environmental billionaire. And that's not enough for me. So clearly. That's what he wants. That's what he wants. There's more money.
Starting point is 00:58:39 And carbon, we got to start putting a price on carbon. Oh, wow. Amazing stuff. I'm sure that Al could help you out with, you know, detailing a plan. I'm sure he could. Yes. Oh, absolutely he can. He's got a plan and it only costs $10 trillion.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It's just $10. Well, his plan is actually $92 trillion. But let's start with the $10. If we could just start with the $10, then we'll get to $92 trillion later on. Because we start with the $10, it'll start to turn things around. That's right. You're going to see just how good it is and then we'll move forward. Then you're going to be okay with spending the $92 trillion.
Starting point is 00:59:17 trillion, which by the way, is only more than all the money in the world. 92 is? Yeah, 92 is about 30 trillion more than all the money in the world. Huh. Yeah. So it's a fairly good chunk of change. Now, if you, it's more than all the money in the world right now. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Right? Yes. Plenty of countries are still printing money. That's true. That's true. We could, I guess we could just keep. printing until we get to $92 trillion. So it's a good idea, Jeffrey.
Starting point is 00:59:50 We can do that. We can do that. That's not a problem at all. All right. AAA 727 Beck. Let's go to Ryan in Ohio. Ryan, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffie. How you doing, Glenn? Pleasure to speak with you. That's Pat, but go ahead.
Starting point is 01:00:07 This is Glenn. Oh, hey, Scott. No, it's Pat. I am very, very curious as to why there's so much media silence on that compound in New Mexico. I know. Why no one is up in arms about that prosecutor dropping the ball and letting
Starting point is 01:00:23 those people go. We've complained about that too, Biff. I don't know what the deal is on that Steve, but my gosh, it's agonizing, isn't it? Appreciate the call. It is. It is agonizing. Did Rod and leave? Yeah, Jim just hung up now, or we hung up on him. Paul made's a good point, though. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 01:00:43 He makes a really good point. Yeah. He makes the same point as Steve did. Well, it's the same guy. Oh, you know. Oh, okay. Bob was telling us that the compound situation in New Mexico is a strange one. And it is. It is a strange one.
Starting point is 01:01:00 To be serious about that. Yes. You've got a guy who murdered his son. We at least know that through neglect and whatever, his son was killed, we know that he was training. a dozen kids as school shooters. We know that they found plans for a terror attack in Atlanta. We know that the five of them were apparently complicit in all of that. And yet three of them have been let go.
Starting point is 01:01:33 They just see you. Because of prosecutorial neglect, they got let go, right? According, that's what they said. The whole thing is they didn't do it in time. It's crazy. It is crazy. Then they, within a very short period of time, They had already cleaned up where they were living.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Right. They had removed, you know, all the debris and a trailer and everything that was there. Yeah, they demolished the crime scene. Right. Even though they demolished the site. And so the whole thing. I don't know what. The relationships from this guy, from the one guy and his father.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah. And other relationships. I mean, the whole thing is really, really weird. And I don't know. I don't know how you, I don't know where you go now to say what was wrong, who was, if anything,
Starting point is 01:02:25 if anything was wrong or this was just, you know, down the road neglect by prosecutors and the judge was following the law. But the judge started it out with, no bail, right? And then he let him go on a,
Starting point is 01:02:39 on a signature, right. No bond. And so you just signed for it. From the start, from the beginning of this, it all, felt wrong.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Definitely. Oh, definitely. Travis in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffrey. How are you, Pat? Good. Down here in Florida, it's just a big terror show is the way we can word it on the radio. You have Mr. Gillum saying that Mr. DeSantis is playing out of the Trump playbook, And then Gillum is doing the biggest Democrat play there is where if you can't be the victor, you have to be the victim.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Yeah. Of racism. Right. Yes. I don't get it. Was something that clearly was not racism. You know, it was something, you know, poor wording. Yeah, but I mean, the monkey around and he was talking about was the agenda, not the man anyway.
Starting point is 01:03:42 So if you're trying to make monkey into some sort of racist comments, well, the monkey was the agenda. Don't monkey around with his agenda of socialism. That's, I mean, that was just ridiculous. Yes. I mean, the world has said don't monkey around. Don't monkey up. Don't muck it up forever.
Starting point is 01:04:00 There's no, there's nothing racial about it. Barack Obama used the term when he was campaigning. So is he a racist? Does he dislike black people too? I mean, it's stupid. Appreciate the call. Thanks, Travis. And you're right, Travis.
Starting point is 01:04:14 And that's a, it's a good call on the playbook, right? Yeah. I mean, it's, no more dog whistles. They're using bullhorns. It's the Trump playbook. And now, instead of moving forward, you've got, instead of, you know, Desanhas has got to try to back pedal. And whether he apologizes or whether, you know, bad wording or whatever,
Starting point is 01:04:33 he's never going to seem like he can't get past it. You've got to find a way to get past this. And it will, it will be a long time because they'll keep bringing it up. and then you'll think you're past it, and he'll say something else that's dumb, like everyone else does, and then that just adds on the list. Oh, DeSanto's said monkey up again,
Starting point is 01:04:56 just like he did two months ago, and it'll be all about race again. Hard to believe, though, that Florida could elect a socialist. A guy who's an admitted socialist. I know. Hard to believe. But, you know, Bill Nelson has been a senator there for,
Starting point is 01:05:11 I don't know how many years now, too long. You should have been out a long time ago. Hopefully Rick Scott will carry him up. It was nice to see. But the, I'd like Bill Nelson to be a nice guy, but Bill Nelson is pretty darn close. Sheila, you're on the Glymba program. Hi. Yes, good morning. Hey.
Starting point is 01:05:28 I just have a comment. You had an earlier caller that said we don't care about what liberals do. We just want to be left alone. And I believe that to be true, but they're not leaving us. alone. That's true. And one thing we're not talking about is our public schools. They are after the hearts and souls and minds of our children. And no one is talking about it.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Yeah, they're more than after them. They've captured, they've captured the hearts and minds of our children. And you're right, although I do know that for not for nothing, that this program and this network has talked about it at great length. Yeah, we've talked about it. quite a bit because it's really important. What has happened in our education system is amazing. It was also brilliant on the part of the progressives.
Starting point is 01:06:27 They knew that if they could get control of the educational system, they can control the hearts and minds of a whole generation of people. And that's exactly what's happened here. It was a good plan. Not next week. Not next year. It took a hundred years, but they did it.
Starting point is 01:06:42 They did it. And now we've got. the fruits of that where millennials have different, they just have different standards than some of us who went to school previous to this generation.
Starting point is 01:06:57 And we heard it earlier today on the phone from a millennial. There are certain things they don't care about. It doesn't matter. Same-sex marriage is one of them. They don't care about that. And I think you'll find that in the vast majority. There will be
Starting point is 01:07:12 exceptions to that. But the vast majority of millennials, totally fine with that. They don't care about that at all. They don't see any reason why that, why anyone would oppose it. They think that socialism is fine. They think socialism is great in some cases. They believe that education should be free. They believe that there should be no debt when they get out of higher education.
Starting point is 01:07:39 That's so fascinating. They believe that socialized medicine is great. Why wouldn't you have that every other country in the world? That's what they're told in school all the time. Every industrialized nation on earth has better health care. Better than us. Yep. That's what they hear.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Really? That's strange. So that's where we are now with millennials is they've been indoctrinated by the educational system. AAA 727 BECK. It's Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. With Pat and Jeffey, it's Labor Day weekend already. Summer went by so fast. Of course, in Texas, summer can't end fast enough for me.
Starting point is 01:08:29 It's still summer. 173 degrees every day. I can't wait for summer to end. So I welcome it. Thank you very much. And, you know, football season is here. So it doesn't get any better than that. Leaves are starting to change.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Well, not here. Cool air is blowing. and it's only it's not 173 I don't know why you lie to the people because last week it was like 130 yeah okay yeah it's cooled down in August it has cool to the low one 30s and every once in a while at night it'll get all the way into the 110s you go outside it's like a little chilly yeah it takes you back a little bit whoa what's going on triple 8 727 BECK it's pat and jeffy for Glenn
Starting point is 01:09:26 Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn. Don't forget one week from today on Pat Gray Unleashed, which starts immediately following this show on the Blaze Radio and TV network. Next week, we will debut more on trivia for the year. And then every Friday, all through football season, we'll be doing more on trivia again. It's back in the second hour of Pat Gray Unleashed right after this show. Chinese spies are using LinkedIn.
Starting point is 01:09:53 How many times have we said, this stinking service, this LinkedIn, it's going to be the death of us all. United States top spy catchers said Chinese espionage agencies are using LinkedIn, fake LinkedIn accounts to try to recruit Americans with access to government and commercial secrets,
Starting point is 01:10:16 and the company should shut them down. It's amazing. how much spying China is doing in the United States and getting away with I frankly don't understand it how it's possible William Evanina
Starting point is 01:10:37 the U.S. Counterintelligence Chief said that intelligence and law enforcement officials have told LinkedIn which is owned by Microsoft about China's super aggressive efforts on their site He said the Chinese campaign includes contacting thousands of LinkedIn members at a time, but he declined to say how many fake accounts U.S. intelligence had discovered, how many Americans have been contacted, and how much success they've had in the recruitment drive.
Starting point is 01:11:06 You couple this with the story we just heard in the last few weeks about all of the American agents in China that were murdered by the Chinese. they killed something like 30 of our spies in China over the last couple of years. I think since 2012 they've killed 30 American spies. Were they putting that on to having access to the Hillary emails? No. Well, I mean, some people have tried to make that out of it. And I don't know if there's much to that. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:38 That's what I was asking. What they think happened now is that the CIA screwed up. and it's a complicated process about how they hacked in through a system that shouldn't have been opened, but they opened it. And so they found a bunch of names there and just started killing him, eliminating them. Amazing. And obviously, no one will, but someone definitely should be held accountable for that. I mean, we're costing lives, American lives, and foreign soil is not correct.
Starting point is 01:12:12 And like you said, as you said, no one will be held accountable. And yeah, if there's something you should be held accountable for, yeah, it's screwing up where two and a half dozen agents are killed. Yeah, maybe somebody's head should roll for that. AAA 727 BECK. We found out something interesting on MSNBC. That's where you find out all kinds of. A lot of interesting. Really interesting and really good quality information.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Yeah. Found out something about Trump voters. from a couple of the MSNBC anchors. A lot of people vote pretty selfishly, and they say, what's going to give me more money in my pocket? Or what's going to make abortion illegal? Or what's going to make sure that my Second Amendment rights stay the same?
Starting point is 01:12:56 And clearly, so you're saying, wait, you're saying that people vote for the people who represent their values? Sorry. Whoa, is that selfish? What pigs those people are? How did we set up a system like that? What a terrible, what awful people. They vote their own interests.
Starting point is 01:13:19 They vote for their principles and values. They vote for the things they believe in. Man, do I hate those people. I hate those people. I don't know. I didn't want to do the rest of the story I'm saying. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:13:34 I am so mad at those people, those Trump voters. Oh my gosh. On the other hand, they're perfectly fine with the people who are voting to take our money from us and give it to somebody else. They mean their beliefs? Yeah, their beliefs. The things that they believe in? Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Yes. Their socialist beliefs are all fine. That's wonderful. You know what? When you steal money from other people and give it to, and just redistribute it haphazardly, that's not charity. That's not unselfishness. That's pure evil. It's wrong to steal from people.
Starting point is 01:14:11 and it's wrong to redistribute their money in really haphazard in terrible ways, like the government always does. But that's fine to the hosts the anchors at MSNBC. It makes perfect sense to them. But, I mean, we're talking about stealing money, but what they're talking about is the government taxing us and taking it. Right. You're talking about stealing.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Yes. Okay. I just want to be clear that I know what you're talking about because what they're talking about is the government. The government, what they're talking about, what they're talking about is. And using the money to help others. Or charity, you know, some would call it. Yes.
Starting point is 01:14:49 When the government takes it from you and gives it to somebody else. Right. That's charity. Right. It's beautiful. Yeah. And that's what Jesus wanted. Remember when he said Rome should take your money and give it to somebody else? Remember that?
Starting point is 01:15:01 All those sermons. I read that on a burger wrapper. Yeah. All right. Michael in Colorado. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffey. Hi. How are you guys doing? Good. I just wanted to kind of circle back around and re-address the climate change,
Starting point is 01:15:22 and I wanted to ask you guys a direct question. All right. You really don't think the climate change is real? Do I think man-caused climate change is real? No. That wasn't the question. No, I do not. Do I think the government, the planet may be warmed 0.9 degrees in the last 100 years? Yes.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Okay. Do I think that's a, do I think that's cataclysmic? No. No. Do I believe that's on humans? No. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:15:54 If you want to have the conversation, you have to first accept the viewpoint of the other side and find out what that's about. And it doesn't seem to me that the right is taking, well, most of the right is taking any of the conversation very seriously in the first place. why not change to renewable? It's going to be expensive. We know that, you know, but the ocean levels are rising. The ice caps are melting. We see this as something that is going to be detrimental to human life on the planet. This kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:29 How far out that is. This has happened throughout the course of the planet. I mean, the ice caps melt and they reform. The sea levels rise, then they fall. And this is part of the natural process of the planet. planet. It's happened forever. We accelerate that by utilizing the resources of this planet in the way that we do. Well, I don't believe that. I don't believe that.
Starting point is 01:16:55 I'm not saying that he's a smart guy. What he is is a mouthpiece for a lot of really smart people that have put together the data that he presents. That's it. He's a politician. He's not a guy that knows what the math is. And do you know that out of the climate models that have been put together for him, out of the 92 climate models, do you know how many of them have been accurate in predicting temperature rise? Zero? Oh, I don't know that number. None of them.
Starting point is 01:17:27 It's zero. It's zero. It is zero. It is zero. I'm telling you what the number is. It's zero. So why? I'm observing and accelerated.
Starting point is 01:17:37 Like, I'm not even a scientist. and I see spring coming later, fall coming later, the cycle of the seasons is changing. You need to move to Texas, my friend. It's summer all freaking year round, all year round. See? Has it always been? Yes. Yes, it has.
Starting point is 01:17:53 I don't know. Yes, it has. It's always summer in Colorado now, too, and that's not normal. No, it is not always summer in Colorado. Get out of here. I mean, I lived on, I grew up in Montana. It was the first year. I grew up in Montana.
Starting point is 01:18:09 and it was cold and snowy some years, and it was less than cold and snowy some years. It's just, it's a cycle. It goes inside, and it has much more to do with whether there's El Nino than climate change. It's a cyclical climate that we have on this planet. And there's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about it.
Starting point is 01:18:34 If you step back and look at the severity of that cycle, It's no more severe than it's ever been. Where are the more frequent, more intense hurricanes? Where are the more frequent, more intense tornadoes that Al Gore was talking about in an inconvenient truth? Didn't happen for 12 years after the movie. Twelve years! Twelve years! The worst hurricanes that we've ever had in history have just happened.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Michael, no, that is not true. A, that's not true. B, it took 12 years further to be any hurricanes. Hurricane after inconvenient truth. There hadn't been a major hurricane from 2005 all the way to last year when one finally hit Houston. Why didn't you talk about those years at all? You didn't talk about those years. Nobody did.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Why? Because they were quiet and there was no neat reason to. And it didn't fit the agenda. It didn't fit the narrative for the climate change catastrophists. They didn't want to talk about it. So they didn't. and then when the first major hurricane finally does hit, then it's cataclysmic climate change.
Starting point is 01:19:44 It's nonsense. It's a hoax. It's the biggest hoax in mankind's history. The biggest hoax in history. If they're exaggerating, then they're exaggerating, and that's fine. That's fine? It's fine. Both sides exaggerate to prove their point.
Starting point is 01:20:05 I'm not exaggerating. what have I exaggerated What have I exaggerated? Well, you can't say that zero scientific studies on climate change I can because it's true. Look it up. Look it up. It has to be an exaggeration.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Look it up. It's not an exaggeration. And I know because you never hear that side of the argument. How old are you, Michael? You're a millennial? How old? 35. 35. Okay. So all you've heard your whole life
Starting point is 01:20:35 is what you're telling me now, right? I mean, you've been peppered with this in school. You've been peppered with it throughout your young adult life, and you just bought it because nobody sat you down and showed you the actual statistics on it. No, I think that I've seen enough data and made my own informed decision to believe it. Oh, I see. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:58 All right. But you've never even heard that the climate models aren't... I mean, where were you the last 12 years of no hurricanes, though? Where were you then? I mean, I, I, I,
Starting point is 01:21:07 there's a hurricane in Hawaii right now, isn't there? No, it, it, it, it was a rain event,
Starting point is 01:21:12 but it, uh, passed the islands. So, but again, anyway, again, it has,
Starting point is 01:21:20 there have been, there have been hurricanes. There have been, but from 2005 to 2017, there were no major hurricanes that, that made landfall in the United States of America. And, Well, in the United States of America.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Right. What about that? Well, that's what we were talking about in an inconvenient truth. We were promised by Al Gore that they're going to be more frequent and more intense because of Katrina. So the inference there is, it's going to affect the United States. He says at exact face value. Nobody knows exactly when it's going to occur or the thing is, the last thing I want to say is, okay, so the Paris Agreement, everybody else is still sticking to that. There must be something to that.
Starting point is 01:22:05 No, not necessarily. In other countries' ideology that says this is probably a good thing, I can see the benefit of this, but we pull out because we want to keep burning coal like we were in the 1700s. We can't move forward. No, we are trying to move forward. You mentioned renewables, and now you're back to them again when you first started your call. No one is against renewables, but we don't have any renewables that are as strong and as productive as what we're using already. Plus, with renewables being subsidized with our tax dollars. 25 to 1 over oil. When we can get renewables that actually create power, we don't have to worry about the lights turning on and off when we come into the house, which we all like, including you, I'm sure. like to come in the house and go, oh, I just hit the switch.
Starting point is 01:23:02 There's the light. We have that in America because of coal and power that other countries don't have. And we're not saying, appreciate the call, Michael, and appreciate talking to you. Yeah, it was great. I'm glad you called. But I'm not saying that it should be coal anyway. Nobody's talking about bringing coal back to the levels it once was. Once was, no, but I think Trump was trying to bring it back.
Starting point is 01:23:27 It's mostly natural gas that has replaced a lot of the coal energy that we used to. And nuclear power. I mean, there's a million different things we can do. Wind and solar just aren't ready to replace it yet. Right. When they are, great. Wind and solar, Michael, if you're still listening and hopefully you are, account for about 5% of our energy.
Starting point is 01:23:53 About 5%. It might be a little too high. I think that's high. I think that might be too high. It's 4 or 5%. It's somewhere in there if you combine the two wind and solar. But they're not sturdy enough. So there's no renewal.
Starting point is 01:24:07 What I'm saying is there's no renewable energy ready to replace fossil fuels. Now, when you have it, let me know. I'm happy to embrace it. AAA 727 back. It's Pat and Jovey for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Triple-8. 727 back. And the climate change thing is agonizing.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Oh my gosh. We've got a generation of people that have been so indoctrinated with that, that have been so convinced in the education system that they believe they see it every day. I mean, is there anything different that is happening today than has ever happened? We've always had fires. We've always had heat. We've always had cold. we've always had snow, we've always had drought.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Not like this. We've always had rain. We've always had all of these things. Not like this. Yes, like this. It seems bad now because it's happening now. You forgot what it was like when it happened before. You mean like the floods that they call the 100-year floods?
Starting point is 01:25:14 Those kind of floods? Those kind of floods. Stuff like that where places, different places in the United States and around the world, but specifically in the United States, where every 100 to 150 years, this particular area will flood. Yes. And then about 30 years into that 150 years, we decide, man, that's never going to flood there again. We'll build there.
Starting point is 01:25:36 We'll start building all kinds of homes there. We'll build businesses. We'll build all kinds of stuff there. Look, if something starts to happen, we can take care of it. Nope. Doesn't happen. Oh, I remember when I was a kid, the Mississippi River used to flood all the time. The Missouri River would flood people.
Starting point is 01:25:53 I mean, people got flooded all the time. I remember hearing about the floods in the Midwest all the time. When I was a kid in Michigan, my grandparents lived on the Cass River. And every year it flooded. There were pictures of the water coming up to the back of the house, coming up to maybe the back of the work shed, because their house was the second lot in from the river.
Starting point is 01:26:16 And so, I would come up to the house. And it would just, oh, yeah, came up to the backport steps this year, came up to just the back of the garage this year. year. And then the 100 year flood comes and it buries all the houses that they've built up to the second floor. And it's not pretty and it's ugly. But now they say, well, maybe we shouldn't build there. You think? Earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes. It's, you know, we've always had them, always had them. And then we're told they're going to be more frequent and more severe,
Starting point is 01:26:49 more intense, more frequent in 2005 because we just came up. out of Katrina. Everybody's, you know, sensitive to it. Everybody's afraid of it. We're told that 12 years go by. And we don't have a single major hurricane in the mainland. Not one. We have a couple of little ones. And even those were few and far between. Yeah. And they use they always, they bring up Sandy too, which was not a hurricane. Not a hurricane. It was a tropical storm. They continued to ram that one. They continued to call it Hurricane Sandy. Yeah. Because it was a hurricane when it was out in the ocean.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Right. But by the time it made landfall not close to it, it was not a hurricane. Exactly. So then last year when Harvey pops up, it's global warming all of a sudden. See? Wait, what about the last 12 years?
Starting point is 01:27:40 Are you kidding me? Those meant nothing? And what do you mean? The sea level rise, Al Gore has said, and he's getting his experts, uh, facts. on this, Al Gore has claimed the Siva level is going to rise
Starting point is 01:27:57 20 feet in the next 100 years. Florida should be underwater by now. It's just, it's unbelievable. And he's claiming victory when it floods in Miami for a day or two and then it recedes. Well, no, that's not what you were predicting. That's not what you were predicting. Not close. Stop it. It's Pat and Jeffie for Glenn. Triple-8 727 B-E-C-K. Another thing that our caller a few minutes ago on climate change mentioned was were the Paris agreements and why everybody else is signed on to that, but us. Do you know the Paris agreements don't change anything?
Starting point is 01:28:43 You know that even if you were to adhere to every stipulation and the Paris agreements for as long as they last. The planet will be saved. What are you going to say? No. No, that is not. That's not the case. it still wouldn't be anywhere near enough by their own calculation. So, I mean, why are we even, why?
Starting point is 01:29:08 If you're going to, if you have to do something to save the planet, then save the planet. The Paris Agreement isn't going to do it. So tell us what you really want, which is, you know, your $10 trillion, according to some, 92 trillion adventure according to Al Gore. Well, okay, let's get that out there. And let's debate that.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Let's debate that. Okay, is it really, is it really going to happen? And is it really worth $92 trillion? Is it going to make a difference in saving the earth that you believe needs to be saved? Yeah, and you're going to bankrupt the planet.
Starting point is 01:29:53 You're absolutely going to bankrupt the planet. bankrupt the planet doing it. And it was... Good luck. And yeah, it's not going to make a difference. The numbers don't work out. Right. And the numbers new work out for several people's bank accounts.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Not mine, by the way. I could be, you know, my arm twisted for a couple of billion. I could be for the Paris. You could. I could be. Yeah. I'm just going on record. All right.
Starting point is 01:30:18 So you're not that, I mean, you're pretty easy. I'm committed. No, I'm committed. It's going to take at least at least. Half a million. Okay. And if we, oh, half a million? Half a billion.
Starting point is 01:30:29 Oh, half a billion. I'm not cheap. Okay. Half a million. What? You might be easy, but you're not cheap. Half a million. Okay.
Starting point is 01:30:35 Okay, half a million. Okay, a million. And then we won't see fish swimming down city streets on sunny days like Al Gore warned us about. I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. They went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean, swimming down streets on a sunny day. The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of the
Starting point is 01:31:02 sea level rise now. We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic consequences if we accelerate the pace of change that's now beginning. See, that's why I always say, have you ever seen the fish swimming down the street on a funny day. Have you ever seen that, Jeffrey? I have not. It's a frightening occurrence.
Starting point is 01:31:36 It's so bad. If someone told me long ago, our FU. Vatives have got to go. I know. Climate change is killing us. The problem is Greenland's melting, as I've said,
Starting point is 01:31:58 And pretty soon will all be dead. It's true. And there is consensus. I want to know. Have you ever seen the fish? I want to know. Have you ever seen the fish? Swim down your streets on a sunny day.
Starting point is 01:32:36 As I've said right here before, The sun is cold. CO2 is hot. I know. It drives up our temperatures. You know, a carbon tax is what we need. ExxonMobil just needs to bleed. Are you?
Starting point is 01:33:02 A climate denier? I wonder. I want to know. Have you ever seen the fish? want to know. Have you ever seen the fish swim down your street
Starting point is 01:33:27 on a sunny day? Like they've seen in Miami and Honolulu. Fantastic. You've seen it. That was beautiful. It's beautiful. Moved you, right?
Starting point is 01:33:39 Beautiful. Moved you. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. That's a hit. Oh, yeah. That's a hit, my friend. It's, I mean, what's one of the top-downloaded songs
Starting point is 01:33:50 of the, century, I think. It better be. I'll have to look into those numbers. It better be. I got them from Al. So, yeah. Well, maybe Al's
Starting point is 01:33:58 using that accelerated pace that we need. John in Pennsylvania, hi, you're on the, you're on the Glenback program with Pat and Jeffrey. Hi, Pat. Hey. You know, I was listening the last hour
Starting point is 01:34:12 and I was kind of so bear with me. Okay. And I'm calmed down a little bit. Because when I listen to you talk to that previous caller, what value you have. But a couple of,
Starting point is 01:34:27 I left you guys with the Trump election, and it got to this where we're talking about this, compromising on our principles. Okay? Yeah. Now, I am, you know, you don't know me, but I am a very ethical conservative. I don't care too much about the monetary stuff. So abortion, for instance, is a big deal for me. Okay.
Starting point is 01:34:53 For the last couple elections from the Republicans, we had to compromise our principles. I mean, he had Mitt Romney who was for abortion against it, for it against it, which was a compassionate conservatives, but what did he do? I don't know, not too much, you know? And you have a man like Trump that comes along, and one of the first things that he did signed an executive order to stop paying for abortions in Mexico, okay? That act alone, millions of lives that'll be over, say, four years or eight years if he's in there for a second term. I hear people say to me all the time, well, look at the man. He's a lousy man. Look at what he did in his past. Look at this. Look at that. And we have to stand on principles. We can't, we can't give up.
Starting point is 01:35:50 We've been doing that for decades, okay? We have a man in a White House, like him or not, and I call him the good, bad, me ugly, because you never know which one of those three days you're going to, which, how he's going to show up. It's not bad. But he does more by his actions, not by his mouth, but by his actions. And I have my friends leaving me saying, well, you know, you don't have any principles. I can't stand with you anymore. And these are the same people that we voted for Bush, we voted for John McCain, we voted for Dorrell. I mean, it just, you know, at some point we have to say, we have to bend me here a little bit and say, well, you know, what is he actually doing? Is he doing good? I mean, like the guy. And I, you know, but we, we can't be in
Starting point is 01:36:37 the house is burning and polishing furniture. And that's where I'm at. Yeah, I know. I agree with you. I mean, part of the reason that I was, that we were so hell bent on not voting for Trump was because we voted for McCain, we voted for Bush, we voted for Romney, we compromised and compromised and compromised and never got what we wanted or needed. And so that's kind of what we were tired of doing and why we took the stand. And we took during the election.
Starting point is 01:37:10 However, as you have outlined, John, we've seen some of the fruits of his labor in office. And a lot of them have been really good. Like you mentioned, he at least stopped funding abortion in foreign countries. And when you talk about the things, the bad things about Trump in the past, that's why it doesn't matter now because it's already baked in. We knew it. We knew it in the beginning, right? I mean, so did you. but now don't pay attention to his tweets.
Starting point is 01:37:40 Look at what he's doing. And you look at what's actually happening. Yeah. It's pretty good. Yeah. And he's, I mean, moving the embassy to Israel, no American president has ever done that. Nobody had the jiblis to do that and pull it off. And he did.
Starting point is 01:37:54 And so he's done some really good things. What I don't want is for the Republicans to become all about Trump, though. That's what I was talking about. Like the Ron DeSantis ad, where all he talks. talks about is that he loves Trump. Yeah, that's just a Trump love piece. Cult of Trump, cult of personality. That's just nonsense. Do we can't become Trump? We still have to have something that you stand for. And, you know, when Trump, when Trump stands for things that I agree with that he has,
Starting point is 01:38:24 you know, I think we talk about it. I think we praise him when it's deserved. Well, I was going to say these people that are running are still, they're not in, Trump is an unusual animal. I mean, I really don't consider him to be a politician. He's definitely an entertainer, and he's definitely, he's got, you know, he's, I don't know, he's bigger than life. And his ego is what gets him in trouble, but it's his ego, it's also that makes him his strong point. And these politicians, when they get in the office, why do we always say, well, he was a wonderful guy, but I don't know what happened to that guy eight years later. He just turned to the other side. Because they start getting baked into that pie. And the Republican Party is at a crossroads. But, you know, I think if Trump got more support, I actually feel sorry for Trump, for the $9 billion, for all the slack that he is constantly being pummeled, the lies to his family. The Mueller investigation is going to go after him.
Starting point is 01:39:29 It has been nonstop, that's for sure. Destroy him. Yeah, I mean, it has. We should be supporting this man, even though we may not like everything he does. But, you know, I left George Bush in 2006 when he destroyed the Fourth Amendment with the Patriot Act, you know, the search and seizure. I mean, you know, so it's just like, you know, this is our last shot, I think, you know, really. And if we don't rally somewhat, and I understand, and we have to, you know, say, okay, this is the line I can't cross it, but I mean, what's the alternative?
Starting point is 01:40:04 I mean, that's not a rhetorical question. And we have nowhere to go. Thanks, John. Appreciate the call. Boy, have a great weekend, John. Thanks. Thanks for picking that up. Or like Richard Gere in an officer and a gentleman when he's being hosed down by the sergeant. And he said, Mayo, why don't you quit? Why don't you quit? I got nowhere else to go.
Starting point is 01:40:27 that's that's that's republicans in 2018 was that you no yeah it's close right I got nowhere else to go classic movie it's a great movie officer and it's a great point and that's where we are we don't have anywhere else to go where are you going to go where are you going to go I couldn't figure it out during the campaign during the election you know we wound up with Evan McMillan?
Starting point is 01:40:59 I can't barely remember the guy's name. But he wasn't the answer either. But it was as close as I could come to one. Was it? Was it Evan McMillan? Is that right? McMillan, McMillan, Macmillan, McDonald's. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:41:17 I can't remember. Golden Arches. I don't know. The guy with the really big clown feet. Ronald McDonald. I'm not sure who it was. But he was not in either, though, right? No.
Starting point is 01:41:29 I mean, the answer was Ted Cruz to me, but we didn't have that chance. No, we did not. When it came to the actual election. No, we did not. AAA 727. Beck. Glenn Back. It's Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn.
Starting point is 01:41:48 You know, this weekend, Pat. You know what I'm going to do? I know you're probably going to watch football, but I'm going to order addicted outrage. It's going to be released next month. But I can pre-order it on Amazon. Oh, wow. And so as soon as it's released, I'll just ship it right to my house.
Starting point is 01:42:04 Huh. So you should do that. So Glenn's not going to give you a free copy? You really are a low man on the totem pole here, aren't you? Wait, what? He's getting away free. I can get a free copy? Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 01:42:18 How am I going to Amazon for that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think I'm addicted to outrage now. I think I am outraged. You know what I'm going to do next week? And one week from today, we're going to do more on trivia. It'll be fun.
Starting point is 01:42:34 It'll be fun. It'll be fun. Green Bay, Chicago is our first. And so on Pat Gray Unleashed, which follows this show immediately on the Blaze Radio TV networks, we will be doing it in the second hour. So that'll be fun. 1 o'clock Eastern, 12 Central. Okay.
Starting point is 01:42:53 What about Alaska? I'm listening in Alaska. It's like 835. I think. Okay. 8.8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Let's go to Pegg in Connecticut. Hey, Peg, you're on the Glymbeck program.
Starting point is 01:43:09 Hello? Peg. Yeah. It will come back to you. Peg. Go ahead. Hello. Hello?
Starting point is 01:43:17 Can you hear me? We can't through the miracle of the telephone. Oh, is this the red phone that needs to be on your TV show? It's just a black one. It's just a regular, regular phone. That's the miracle. of it. Yeah. Real quick, we'll get about 30 seconds. Go ahead. Hello. Oh, she's gone. She got mad. She got mad. She got mad of you. That was it? Really?
Starting point is 01:43:45 I mean, why, how? That's really not fair of using a miracle of a telephone like that and not using it to its full capability. She just wanted to see if you could hear from all the way from Pennsylvania, I guess, to Texas. You can. Thank you, Alexander Graham Bell. Thank you. Glenn. Back. Mercury.
