Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come a vendor independent like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille of Sac Magic. Our compresses, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon
Starting point is 00:00:09 enlarge our clientele to the world entire. Trouvee to puttees like another on our own.com. Hey, podcast for Monday. We start right off the back with a conversation
Starting point is 00:00:21 that I think America needs to have or at least conservatives. Yeah, the conversation of what do you do in this moment? There's so much going on, so many pressures, Do you change your principles to push back against an enemy that doesn't seem to have any? Or do you stick with them and risk getting rolled over?
Starting point is 00:00:40 What's the balance? I think there's a third option. We talk about it in the podcast. Also, more on Donald Trump and the warrantless, or I'm sorry, the general warrant that was issued by the FBI. We look at the polls of the coming election in November. it is closer than I feel comfortable with. I am hoping that everyone goes out and votes because it is close. Believe it or not.
Starting point is 00:01:10 So we have all of that and so much more on today's podcast. You don't want to miss it. Relief factors are sponsored this half hour. If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, I want you to listen up. There is hope. And it comes in the form of Relief Factor. Every day I see testimonials of people who have tried Relief Factor for their pain
Starting point is 00:01:28 and gotten their life back, and I know it can happen firsthand because it happened to me. If you are experienced the kind of pain where you're like, I can't do it anymore, please just try this. I know you've tried so many other things. Just try Relief Factor. Try it for three weeks. If it's not working for you in three weeks, probably won't. So the Trial Pack, 1995, that's all you have to lose. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Are you part of that 70%? You want a drug-free and natural way to get your life back. Go to Relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 00:02:01 That's Relieffactor.com. Here's today's podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. My goodness. And we have to also talk about Donald Trump on the Fourth Amendment today because I got a lot of problem with a warrant that came out Friday. Just a little bit. That sounded like I was drinking again.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Just a little, just a little bit. Let's first play a conversation that I had on Friday. There is nothing, nothing. I've had this argument before. I had Roger Ailes tell me this. Glenn, we all love the Constitution, but we got to do what we got to do. No, we don't. No, we don't. We act within the framework of the Constitution and decency. We did do some horrible things. It's called Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but we did it because it actually saved more
Starting point is 00:03:22 lives than it killed. There was reason behind it. It wasn't like, let's just burn them and put their shadows in the sidewalk. No. Well, who's saying that? I agree with you there, Glenn. I want it done legally and purposely and to an end. I want an anti-communist end to it. I don't want to live in a country like this. I'm not celebrating this. This sucks. I think it's awful. But when you say somebody like Franco, that, I don't want to live under Franco. Well, neither do why. But I don't, I don't also want to live in a country where we do these kinds of, where they're allowed to do these kinds of things to us, and they're allowed to do them unafraid. But most shocking thing is not that the FBI is crazy or the IRS is expanding or any of these things that they've done. None of these things
Starting point is 00:04:09 are the most shocking thing to me. The most shocking thing to me was Christopher Ray sitting in front of the GOP Senate, knowing he was about to raid the former president's home over nothing. And not only did he sit there in front of them, he told him, hey, wrap this up, senators, I got to go take a plane as government-funded plane on a vacation. What shocks me most is how unafraid they are of the right. They are completely unafraid of the right. And that we can never win that way. So I talked to Jesse, by the way, that's Jesse Kelly. I talked to Jesse Kelly about it. And what
Starting point is 00:04:44 disturbed me in our conversation was I kept going back thinking, okay, I think we agree. But then he would say, we've done the Constitution. We've done it. No, we haven't done it. We have not done it. We haven't done it a long time. That's the problem. And he had brought up Franco and saying, you would be surprised how authoritarian I would be on this. And I said, what do you mean by that? Do you mean you'll enforce the letter and the spirit of the law?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Because I'm for that. And he's like, no, I'd go for Franco. I'm like, you're not going to go for Franco. What are you talking about? But I think this is the debate that America on the right is having. Do we have faith? Do we still believe in miracles? Because I don't hear people as a group, as a group, reaching out and saying what Martin Luther King did. And that is, we have to be Christ-like, what George Washington said, what Abraham Lincoln knew. Only when we turn back to him will we be able to stand. And everybody interprets that as, well, that's not going to work. You just want to sit here and wait for God.
Starting point is 00:06:19 No. Stu said something to me today as we were talking about it on the air. You know, our faith kind of has a unique story to it. Yeah, there is a, I mean, it's tough because I know, you know, I know Jesse relatively well. He's a good dude and, you know, supports the Constitution. and, you know, I'm sure it's not going to turn into a socialist dictator anytime soon. But this debate is real on the right in which you have this, there's this temptation to say, if we are just doing what we think is right, they're going to roll all over us, right?
Starting point is 00:07:01 We can't just sit here and be victims of the left breaking all the rules and then we sit here and we play by the rules and we get rolled over. I think that is a feeling and an instinct that both of us can completely understand. Like I feel that way often, right? I feel like we get rolled over. And a lot of times it's because we're doing what's right. No, no, it's because our side won't do anything. For instance, how many times has Fauci lied?
Starting point is 00:07:32 I don't have the answer. Rand Paul says over and over and over again. There's good. Several examples. Okay. Right. Okay. So how many times I grew up in a world where,
Starting point is 00:07:43 if you lied to Congress, you went to jail. Okay. You went to jail. Contemptive Congress, you lied to us. Why aren't people going to jail just for lying to Congress? They have the power to do that in November or January. If they win the House, I don't want to hear about hearings. I don't want to hear about them.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I want to hear about results. And here's how you can do it. What they have to do is have a hearing and then refer it to the Justice Department. Nothing's going to happen with the Justice Department. Okay? Nothing. But Congress can act on its own. Congress can take back the purse strings.
Starting point is 00:08:31 What are we going to do? What are we going to do? You know, the IRS's out of control. Here's an idea. Take back Congress. And then Congress, you stand up and say, yeah, IRS, we're not sending you any of that. money. Congress alone has that power. We're not going to send that to you. Nope, we don't get it. Oh, gee, the Pentagon's out of control. Guess who's not getting some money? Uh, the DOJ, we need more.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Hmm. Until we see you arresting and doing the right thing, no matter who it is, left or right, until you start cleaning up your act and start firing people, no, mm-mm. No, it's not. It's actually very pro-police. It's anti-corrupt police. It's anti-corruption. That's what it is. And until they take that power, and you don't have to hate anybody for it.
Starting point is 00:09:31 In fact, if you go in with vengeance, then it's not justice. Yeah. And I think that's the interesting part of this, is trying to find that line. Because if you follow. the rules so closely that you never, as Jesse was pointing out, put any fear in the other side. They're not afraid of any consequences. Correct. Then you will get rolled over.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Correct. However, you also have to do that within the bounds of your principles, which is difficult at times. You know, it's like a lot of, I hear people, not, not Jesse, but I've heard people say things to basically the example of like, look, we have to break our own rules. No. We have to do things that we don't think are right. No. Because if we don't, we will lose. And it's like, you mentioned-
Starting point is 00:10:20 We lose if we do. You know, that's an easier argument to make for, I think, secular conservatives who might be non-religious or not, at least not Christian, per se. But it's like, when you're talking about your faith, I mean, this sort of central story of the faith is a guy who literally was up on a cross. and didn't really push back because he wanted to do everything that was right. Like he was so committed to the principles thing. Pretty committed.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Pretty committed. That he actually was crucified over these ideas and principles. So like the idea that, hey, we might lose unless we break rules isn't something that's particularly germane to Christianity. And it is the reason why Gandhi starved himself. because he was trying to do what Jesus did. No, he didn't starve himself so India would be set free and the oppression would stop. No, he starved himself because his own supporters.
Starting point is 00:11:27 His own supporters were starting to engage in violence and going, this isn't going to work. You know, when did the right stop believing in miracles? I mean, as you said, the guy got off the cross. Okay, kind of a big miracle. This audience, this audience knows that we were founded through miracle after miracle after miracle. I could give them to you, but I think you know them. So if it was founded because the people in an impossible. odds because the people had reliance on the truth and on God.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Why wouldn't it work now? And I think, you know, you could look back at like the, for example, the revolutionary war, right? At a time where we are up against an impossible opponent, have no chance to win, right? And we wind up winning. Well, we didn't wind up winning just because. we hoped for the best. We prayed, right? Like, that was certainly part of it, of course.
Starting point is 00:12:44 And probably the real reason why we won. But we also changed tactics. And we also did things that weren't always the norm. They weren't against our principles, though. No. But they were, they, we did change tactics. Standing behind a tree instead of lining up on a big battlefield. That was a good change.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Just seems like common sense more than anything else. No, it's true. It's true. But that was a big difference. Yes. You know, I think, if I may, I think this is part of the reason why people like Ron DeSantis. Yes. And it's because he's been able to find this line.
Starting point is 00:13:21 He's not breaking principles, but he's changing tactics and taking the enemy seriously, a political enemy seriously. He's not being a jerk about it either. I don't find him to be a jerk. I think the left does find him to be a jerk. Well, I can't help the left. Right. I can't help the left. if, you know, you speak the truth.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Yeah. And that makes you a fascist. I think mostly, though, he's been able to walk that line, right? Like, where he's been able to do things that are well within his authority. He's, you know, he's been able to connect with those big problems that are happening and push back against him. I mean, I think the Disney thing has shown results. Not just in Disney, but in other corporations that have suddenly... Yeah, it hasn't shown results with Disney.
Starting point is 00:14:07 No, but it's worse with. Other companies that are like, let's just not get in the middle of this right now. And that's all you need. And let me tell you something. When he does things and he does them within the law, they last. They last. He's changing the laws and writing them for a new kind of society because we're under attack. And he's doing it all constitutionally.
Starting point is 00:14:36 That's the best way to do it. and the left will just scream authoritarian. Let them. They point to a dude and address and scream woman. So I don't really, you know, subscribe to their lingo and their new definitions. That's not a fascist. That's not an authoritarian. I am a constitutionalist.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And I believe in protecting and defending the constitution of the United States of America. And that means no more Mr. Nice Guy. It is time to enforce the laws. And that doesn't mean we go in with a warrant that is a general warrant like they did with Trump. No, that's unconstitutional. We do it the right way. Otherwise, we lose everything and become everything we despise. American financing NMLS 1-8-2334
Starting point is 00:15:41 www. www.mLS Consumeraccess.org But that ain't going to happen with a McConnell unless you guys get involved, unless everybody calls his office and everybody else's office in the Senate and says, enough. Enough is enough. Because he really thinks that we're just a small group and, you know, just in the minority.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And that's not what a bargain. He kind of... Is he the beast? Nah, he's just a turtle. Yurtle the turtle. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. So, Stu, I saw some really disturbing things.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Here's one headline. This one's coming from The Guardian. The Republican Party has reason to fear the midterms. Oh, okay. And then 2022 Senate election forecast from 538, Democrats win 61 in 100. Republicans win 39 in 100. Yeah, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:17:09 The odds. No, that's not good. That's not good. And the Republicans were ahead on that breakdown earlier. It's always been close. And we did our first Senate preview a couple of months ago on Studeau's America in which I said, look, this is not easy. Like, I think it feels easy because I talk to a lot of my conservative friends who look at Biden and his approval rating and think, obviously, this is a home run. You take the House and the Senate back.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Part of this is structural in which the seats just don't line up particularly well for Republicans this cycle. This goes back and forth. In 2024, it's a very good cycle for Republicans. So they will have a real advantage structurally in 2024. That's not the case here. In 2022, the Democrats have the advantage structurally. It's just a matter of which seats are up in which states. So it's harder for Republicans to take those purple opportunities, those blue leading opportunities, and grab them in a climate in which they are favored.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yes. However, the House is the opposite, where the House is basically all just climate, right? That's how it's decided every single time. Now, individual candidates can affect races, and you may lose a race or two because you've nominated a crappy candidate. But generally speaking, that should be much easier for Republicans to win. Now, they have to win one of these two. If they don't win one of these two, that's really, really bad. Because, I mean, I don't want to say end of republic, but end of republic kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It feels that way. You know, we've talked about this every election. important election of a lifetime. I think this is the last one of the Republic. If the Democrats win both houses and have the presidency and there is no stopping them, there's no speed bump. It's just all going to be left up to the states. Well, speed bump this time has been their own party, Joe Manchin, Pearson, Senator. Yeah, that worked out well. And of course, as we, as we promised you from the very beginning, Joe Manchin will not save you. He never will. He'll never come to your rescue.
Starting point is 00:19:17 He'll never be on a horse there. To make sure you're just a-okay in the end, he will always screw you. Every single time, that's how this story ends. Just want to remind voters in West Virginia, who voted for Donald Trump by 39 points last election, that maybe Joe Manchin should not be the choice next time if he chooses to run again.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Just a little request from the rest of the country. We have tons of crappy senators all around the rest of the country, but really we shouldn't have any from West Virginia. That shouldn't be an option. So hopefully that one gets rectified. While he's on that topic, I'd just like to say, next election, will somebody please run against Mitt Romney and throw him the hell out too?
Starting point is 00:20:01 That would be nice. Your turn. Okay. Now that we're done with their binging. So the Republicans are favored to win the House. But again, it's a four to one type of thing. It's about 80, 20, according to 5.30. which again is no sure thing.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Right. Though it is a, they are heavy favorites at this point. The, there has been some, a big media push to try to come up with reasons why this is going to turn around if Democrats are going to win. One of the big ones is the abortion thing.
Starting point is 00:20:35 They're trying to make the Kansas election into this beacon of hope for Democrats, that they will be able to get all that energy behind their, base and they will all come out and vote because they're so sad that they can't kill children anymore that they're going to wind up winning this election. I think the Kansas thing, we talked about this right after, I think the Kansas thing was a very isolated, weird example. It was not particularly written well. It was right after the overturn, which was not planned. It was supposed to happen before an overturn of Roe versus Wade happened. That was the idea behind it. The energy was all with the Democrats in an awful election during a primary where not everyone's focused on it,
Starting point is 00:21:19 blah, blah, blah, blah. I think if you brought that same thing up in Kansas in two years, it would pass on our side. But we'll see. That's because they're going to try it again, surely. I don't think on an election day where everyone's going to be focused on it, that you're going to get more energy out of the left over abortion than on the right for Biden's performance, for inflation, for the economy, for rating the former president's house, For all the things that Republicans are fired up about, I don't think there's any chance that that works.
Starting point is 00:21:49 So I heard speculation that over the weekend, they wanted Donald Trump to win. They want Donald Trump. They want him. They want him up in the polls. They want his people very excited. And they said that they thought, or this person I was talking to, thought that this was intentional from the left because they wanted to make this campaign as well about Donald. Trump. I don't think that that is
Starting point is 00:22:17 crazy. Now, I don't know that you'd say it doesn't make any... Stu. It's 2022. Nothing is crazy. That's a good point. There's two ways to look at this, right? If you're a Democrat. Number one, you have Donald Trump, who is a known quantity.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You know, for sure, that 45% of the country hates his guts and will never vote for him no matter what. Like that is the starting point of this election. Okay. You also know that 45% of the country will walk through a wall of fire to vote for the guy. So you take your chance with the few people in the middle and hope that you can squeak out a relatively close election with those people, generally speaking, in the suburbs and generally speaking women who in 2016 leaned towards Trump in 20, in 2020 lean towards Biden.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And you say, they're not going to go back to Trump. The things that turn them off from Trump in 2020 are have not gone away. He will be as divisive as he's ever been. And we can walk that same line. The other side of this is, in support of your friend's theory here, is the idea that we don't know how to fight that battle against Ron DeSantis. we have shown no ability to put a dent in what he's tried to do in Florida. Now, they, this is a risky strategy for Democrats because, again, if you believe Democrats,
Starting point is 00:23:53 they will tell you that Donald Trump is actually Hitler. So to promote his candidacy would be something that is against every human. Well, I have read, Roth, Trump is Hitler. Ron DeSantis is worse. Of course. Every single. Every time. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So I don't know who that, I mean, Lucifer, I guess. Right. Now, we do not have, you know, looking at the DeSantis option, they don't know how to beat him. They have not shown the ability to beat him. They took a situation where they probably should have beat him for the first time when he was running for governor and lost. And they have not been able to put a dent in him. He's going to win this election easily by all appearances here in Florida for governor. So they don't really, they don't have a great strategy on this one yet.
Starting point is 00:24:40 The other thing, though, is they do not have 45% of people who see Ron DeSantis as a movement. A lot of conservatives like him, but I mean, even in just name familiarity, he has, he is nowhere near the situation that Donald Trump is in. So it's a risky strategy if they really believe Donald Trump is uniquely dangerous. And that's their case on all this stuff. We should be able to do this stuff. You shouldn't worry about us raiding a former president's home because he's so uniquely. terrible and dangerous to the country. That's their entire case.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yet, here they are theoretically wanting to run against him because they think they can defeat him. Now look, they made that same bet in 2016. They did. I mean, MSNBC aired every single one of his
Starting point is 00:25:27 rallies in full in 2016. The same thing with CNN. They went out and gave this guy an incredible amount of free media during the primary, which is a big reason why he wound up winning the primary. I mean, you know, that's that's been well covered. Then they wound up getting burned by it in a big, big way. How let me get back to the House and Senate race.
Starting point is 00:25:54 How are the people that would vote like Trump? And I mean that are really dedicated to, all right, let's abolish the. let's polish the Department of Education. Let's use every constitutional thing that we have. And I'm tired of Mitch McConnell and all of this crap. How many people are running and are winning who appear to be those kind of people? Is there any kind of sense of that yet? It's pretty mixed.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's mixed on the type of race that they're in. You know, we're seeing people who Trump has endorsed doing really well in the places you'd kind of expect it, right? where he, you know, where, where, uh, right, more red states, you know, the, the obvious example of the alternate is Dr. Oz, who is not doing well against a man who is barely alive. A man who, who, oh, he's still alive? I think. I've seen footage of him recently and I'm starting to question it. But I mean, Fetterman is, you know, the man had a, he wasn't good before this, but he had a massive stroke. He's hidden from the public in Pennsylvania for months. And, and, you mean, like,
Starting point is 00:27:04 Like, he's in his basement? Like, he's running the Joe Biden 2020 campaign all over again. It's crazy, isn't it? Sometimes, and it certainly so far has worked for him. Staying out of the spotlight and not reminding people who you are works really well sometimes. You know, especially with someone, you know, like Dr. Oz, who is so well known and again, immediately sets a giant percentage of the population into two camps. And unlike Donald Trump, who has a big movement behind.
Starting point is 00:27:34 him in support I'll walk through a wall of fire. There isn't that sort of movement for Dr. Ross. Because the people who really know him were kind of Oprah fans. And I don't think the Venn diagram of Oprah and Trump is... I'd like to see that.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's a huge crossover. Yeah. I mean, it might be like 10 feet apart. Yeah. So, you know, the polls in Pennsylvania show Fetterman up by double digits most of them, which is... Now, if you look at the overall Senate, the easiest way to understand this, this very moment is to basically start out, start your process at 46-46.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Okay. The seats that aren't up for election plus the ones that should be easy for both sides, there's some, there's not, there's possibilities that there could be a couple of these races that would move in future months. But if you start right now, you're at 46-46 with eight races left in the middle that are theoretically winnable for either side. That would include Pennsylvania, by the way. That's not winnable.
Starting point is 00:28:34 So I mean, if you take that one out. Between that and corruption in Pennsylvania, I'm not convinced that they've cleaned that up. If you take that one, leave that one in the eight for the moment. Republicans would have to win five of the eight races to take control. Now, in that race, you're talking about Pennsylvania. You're talking about Wisconsin. You're talking about Nevada. These are not necessarily hardcore red states that should be easy, though they are all theoretically winnable.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Arizona is another one. Georgia. We talked to Herschel Walker the other day. race, he's been polling showing him slightly behind. I thought he had a good appearance here on the show the other day and you know, it's important that he win that race. It's crucial.
Starting point is 00:29:15 New Hampshire is one that in a wave election is winnable for Republicans. And it's a close race. Polling is showing it very close, but will they be able to pull that off? You've got North Carolina in there as well. I think I mentioned Ohio. Ohio is a race. I think they will win. That's one. That's one.
Starting point is 00:29:33 You know, you look If you look at this, Arizona could go either way. Georgia, I think should be one that they'd be favored on, but they've really gone after Herschel Walker, and it's hurt him so far. It's a close race. New Hampshire, I think, is one you typically assume you'd lose, but is winnable and it looks like that it's a tight race.
Starting point is 00:29:53 North Carolina, again, it's a purple state. It's one of the closest states in the 2020 election. Nevada, you're trying to take out a Democratic incumbent, but I think is winnable, especially if this is a Republican-leaning year. Pennsylvania, I think, really was winnable if the primary went the other way. Now is really a question. Then you got Wisconsin and Ohio. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:14 So here's the message from all of this. Write it down on your calendar. Make sure you, I've never said, go pick people up and take them. I've never been, you know, like, hey, maybe we should get a bus. Get a bus. Everyone you know has got to vote, has got to vote, or it doesn't stop. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Is the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I would like your attention for five minutes here. And I have to start with a story. When I was, when I was little, probably about six, maybe. I had a dog named Prince, and he looked just like Lassie. and when I was a kid, that was a big deal. And I have this picture of me on the boat, on this old wrecked boat on our only vacation we took as kids with our family, with me on this wrecked boat, you know, playing pirate with my dog Lassie. What's wrong, Lassie? Somebody's drowning. And one day I came home and my Lassie was gone.
Starting point is 00:31:42 and we lived, you know, we didn't have a big yard, and he liked to run. And so my parents said, son, he really needed to go to a farm. And he's on this farm and he's running and he's happy and lots of dogs there for him to play with. And it's very good. And I believed that. and I believed that up until about a year ago when I told my daughter Hannah, who joins me in the studio now.
Starting point is 00:32:19 And my daughter, Hannah, just looked at me and what was it? You said? Something along the lines of, that's adorable. Do you really think that? And I said, well, yeah, up until right now, but I still held out hope. I haven't told Hannah this. I saw her aunt, Coletta, my sister, who is my older sister.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And she said, you didn't buy the farm story. And I said, yes, I did. And I'm still holding. And before I could get out, I'm still holding out hope. She said, oh, he was smushed under a truck. And I, okay. So I'm crushed by farm stories. and puppy dogs.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Now, my daughter is like some crazy animal activist. She saved a bird when she was living in New York. Nobody saves the birds in New York for the love of Pete. By the way, I'm convinced pigeons in New York are just white doves that have been playing in the oil. That's it. That's why they got that oil stain around their neck. Anyway. Science.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Science, man. It's science. So my daughter saves all kinds of animals, including dogs. And it was at the beginning of COVID, and you got, what kind of dogs are these? Cattahoola mixes. Okay. And she had this whole little puppy litter that was going to be gassed. And she was like, no, don't gaspies.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I'll take them. And what she does is she rescues them. and then she, you know, farms them out to houses. Lustering. Whatever. And so she, so the problem was is that several of the puppies died, and it was extraordinarily traumatic to the little ones, my grandchildren. And so they were like, Mom, we can't get rid of Stella.
Starting point is 00:34:33 We can't. And Stella was so cute, blue eyes and black and white spot. I mean, just beautiful. And we're all like, yeah, mom, we can't. And now she's had Stella for how long? Two years. Two years. And it's time for Stella to go to a farm, but an actual farm, an actual farm.
Starting point is 00:34:58 And the grandkids right now are with their father, so they're guaranteed not to hear this. but Hannah is giving away Stella. Yes. Like you said, we fostered these puppies. There were six to start. Oh, there's the puppy. There is. Oh, that's Stella.
Starting point is 00:35:18 That's Stella sitting on her bed. In the bushes right there. Stella is an adventurous one. She's very, very adventurous. Yes. Yes. Not like a good apartment dog. No.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yeah. Stella needs a real farm. Yeah. real farm. Yeah, when we got her, they started with six puppies. They were in a super overcrowded, understaffed shelter in East Texas, and they were very sick when we finally got them. It was tragic. They were really, it was sad when they got there. It was a terrible couple of weeks losing so many puppies. And like you said, by the time that it was just Stella left, my children were. They just devastated. I mean, imagine growing up and
Starting point is 00:36:05 house were like six puppies died one after another after another you know they didn't all die at once in some sort of farming accident they one after another and the kids were you know they're what six and five at that time six and four somewhere four and six and six yeah four and six yeah they were like grandpa and I don't probably die I mean it was just tragic so she has gotten up the nerve to, are you going to tell them the farm story? Because if you do, when they turn 18, maybe even 16, I'm going to say, you didn't buy that farm story, did you? Well, it'll be a true farm story this time. Sure.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Now, it doesn't have to be a farm, does it? No, it doesn't have to be a farm. She, Stella needs a family, preferably if they have a decent size backyard would be great. Farm doesn't have to be the case. But she. I'm telling the kids that. She is a, so she's a Cattahoula, which I'd never heard of Cata, it's full names, Cattahoula Leopard Dog. And they are working dogs and they're actually bred to hunt wild boar.
Starting point is 00:37:30 So. Yeah, here in Texas. they'd be great if you hunt wild boar. Yeah. So she's very active. She's very tenacious, very strong. She just needs a family that has a lot of time to dedicate to her to. Yeah, just to train her into.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Or just to play. Yeah, more dedicated play, like more walks, more running, more everything. We have three dogs right now. And I'm very well aware. I'm the next door neighbor. Can't get these dogs. Jesus, people next door. They've got dogs, animals, a giraffe is coming.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Anyway, go ahead. She just needs some more time, some more attention. She's a wonderful, wonderful dog. All right. No, I'm sorry. I don't mean interrupt. I'm just looking at the time. So how do people...
Starting point is 00:38:24 So we made an email, rehomesella at gmail.com, that if anyone's interested, in giving her a new home, you can send your info to that email. I would love to know maybe a little bit about your family, your situation. And then we... I'm being the daughter of Gledbeck, I hope you're going to make a huge profit on this. I hope, I mean, I hope this is going to pay for all the kids' colleges.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Is that what we're looking for here? You're making money on this? Because I didn't get my cut. I'm trying to recoup at least what we've spent on. Really, that much. I know what the medicine costs. No, so she's free, isn't she? Yes, of course she's free.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yeah, I didn't know. I mean, it was a good, I mean, you're a capitalist. I'm trying to, try to help here. She's a 30-something. She's going to be like, you know, I don't know. Marxism isn't so bad when it comes to dogs. All right. So all you have to do is she does not find me funny.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Oh, no. Have you noticed that? No, she doesn't. Definitely not. Come on, it was a good childhood, though. It was fun. It was interesting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:39 You know what's going to happen? I know it's going to happen. What? I start to slow down a little bit, and she's going to be saying, Hey, Tanya. And she'll say, I don't know where dad went. And she'll say, he went to a farm. With lots of other talk show hosts.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And he's running. free. Rehom Stella, S-T-E-L-L-A at g-mail.com. Re-home Stella at g-mail.com. She is a really cute dog. She's full-grown now, isn't she? Yes. She's 50 pounds. She's full-grown, and she is one of the sweetest, most tender-hearted dogs I've ever had.
