We're so glad that you're here. Some, we're glad, more than others. Stu is here, and then there's Of course, Pat. Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn. How are you? I'm good.

Yeah, are you? I'm good. Yeah, good. Yeah, really good. So, you know, I know you like to mock people. No, I do not. Really? No, I do not.

Okay, all right. Because I don't enjoy mocking. That would be wrong of me. Right, but you seem like you're in a good mood. I am. And I know you're going to mock Joe Biden. No, I just, well, I'm going to point out some things. about Joe.

Okay. All right. Maybe seem... I don't know if I can even do it now. All right, go ahead. Now, Joe had a little incident yesterday, as you know, with a voter in Iowa. And if you're watching... We explain this.

If you're watching the... No. No. No. If you're watching the blaze, you might... You might understand. But anyway, so... So, Pat.

Joe Biden yesterday did one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. I've never seen this before, quite honestly. And this was not to a, not to a conservative. This is to somebody who's considering, I think he said later, I will vote for Joe Biden if he's the guy. Because I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump. So I'll vote for Joe Biden, but I'm really considering Elizabeth Warren. Yeah, he sounds like a pretty hardcore liberal. Yeah.

Right. But here's the exchange between him, because how dare you ask Joe a tough question? Look at this. I'm asking how much of your answer. We all know Trump has been messing around in Ukraine over there, holding their foreign aid for him to come up. Saying he's going to investigate.

He won't know back. But you put on the other hand, set your son over there you get a job and work for a gas company you had no experience and nothing wow you get access to the public

to the president you're selling access to the president just like you. That damn liar man that's not true no one has ever said that no one has everybody says that the state department even said that

By the way, that's why I'm not sedentary. I don't like it up and... Oh, boy. Let's go. Let's go. Look, the reason I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I've no more than most people now. And I can get things done. That's why I'm running.

And you want to check my shape line. Let's do push-ups together, man. Let's do, let's do, let's do whatever you want to do. Let's take your teeth. Push-ups. Woo! Exercise! You're crying and fat.

Good. Yay! No one has said my son has done anything wrong. And I did not in any occasion. And no one has ever said it. Not one. I said I set up my son to work in an oil company. Did not what you said?

Get your word straight, Jack. Wow. But I hear on that time MSNBC. You don't hear that in MSNBC? You did not hear that at all. What you heard. Look, okay, I'm not going to get in an argument with you, man. Well, yeah, you do.

But, look, Fat, look. Look, fat, look. This is you. That's unbelievable. This is really, truly unbelievable. This is really truly unbelievable. It is. He obviously is judging the man on his fatness from the get-go.

Yep. Because why would you challenge him to go, let's go run, let's go do push-ups? First of all, he says, I'm not sedentary with the implication like you obviously are, because you're a big fat pig. Because there's nothing that set him up to say this. Nothing. No, nothing. Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing about sedentary. Obviously, you watch a lot of television because you're sedentary. I'm not sedentary like you are. Then he says, I know more than most people. Then he tells him he's more intelligent than he is. Then he says, and he challenges him to the pushups and to running. Which is out of blue.

Out of the blue. He's not challenging him and saying, you know, if you would have said, you know, and look, you've had strokes. I'm not sure. You're an older gentleman. Then he could have done like Jack Palance. And, you know, remember when Jack Palance came out and he did the push-ups? Yeah, on stage.

Right, because it was a sign that he's still virile and young and even though he's 80. That you could understand him saying, hey, well, let's do push-ups. Let's, you know, let's go for a run. Okay, that's totally cool. He didn't challenge that. Not at all. He's only, his first response is, hey, fatty. How about we do

push-ups? And at the end, he says look, fat, look. Yeah, is he going for fatty or fatso? Looks like it, yeah. Fat-ha-fat. Fat-fat. Fat-fat. Fat-fat. Fat-fat. Yeah, something like that. Fat-head. Fat man. I don't know. Hey, fat man. If that was Donald

Trump. And I don't think Donald Trump's ever been that rude to Oh. Okay, well, yes, yes. Yes, he has. I mean, we have. We have. have to pull you back into reality. You were drifting outside of the Oza. And then you were,

you were starting to get out into outer space. That is true. But now I'm flying back like, like, uh, what's her face did in Star Wars. Remember that? Oh, Princess Leia? Yeah, Princess Leia did. Oh, that was so bad. Just let her die, man. I know. She did die.

That's the worst part. She's actually getting in real life. I know. I know. Just stop it. She had a perfect ending. Anyway, go in. Anyway. Because. If it were Trump, it would lead every newscast. He would be the worst person ever born today. If he, you know, and he was when he, when he imitated the handicapped person, remember how that went for him? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, I thought it was horrible. I did too. New York Times has a whole list of the 598 people Trump has insulted in what they've insulted by him. Am I on that? Yeah, you are. You want to hear them? No. So Glenn Beck, his endorsement means nothing.

He's crying. He's dumb as a rock. He's failing. He's lost about credibility. He's irrelevant. He's a wacko. He's sad. He's failing, crying, lost soul. I don't need him. Very dumb and failing. I don't.

I don't need it here. Mental basket case. Viewers and ratings are way down. The answer is no. Wacky. A real nut job and always seems to be crying. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You know what? We bashed the New York Times. Good journalism there at New York Times. Thank you for that.

So is that an excuse for this or? No, no, no, this has been a long. This is one of my favorite pages I've been bookmarked. But this is something you've been trying to squeeze in, is what you're saying? Just every day. Right. And is that a fat joke? I mean, this is a weird moment, though, from a politician.

This is not Donald Trump, who made his career out of insulting people and telling them they're fired, right? This is a, this is a guy who is supposed to be a politician. And Glenn, over and over and over again, you see this. that whenever his son is brought up almost in any context, oh my gosh. He is incredibly incensed. Yeah, incensed. Okay, okay, all right.

May I play devil's advocate here? Okay, and I am not excusing what he did. I think he's corrupt. I think the whole family is corrupt on this. And it goes way beyond Ukraine. And we have the cable transfer verification of $160 million. going to Hunter Biden on something domestic. So I'm not excusing him.

Here's what I said to the audience last night when we were talking about the impeachment. What I'm afraid is Joe Biden's son, and I say this with respect and empathy, because I've been in, I'm in a family that has depression and has. and has suicide as a as a given in my family. I've had two suicides in my immediate family. So I get it. Hunter Biden is a very unstable individual.

Like, terribly. Very unstable. Like one of the most unstable people, I think makes Charlie Sheen look like he could say, dude, get your act together. Okay? it's bad. And so as a dad, I would be defensive as well.

You know, leave my son alone because I think Joe Biden is probably in his own head, has probably helped his son do these deals because, dude, get your life together. I'll help you. Look, you're going to, you know, he's trying to do the right thing, I think, for his son by doing. by doing all the wrong things for his son. Yeah, I have some sympathy with that position. I was thinking about this. We've done a lot on Hunter Biden's private life, just talking about it and going through it.

It's an incredible crazy journey. Think for a second if one of your kids was going through that. Yeah. Right? And you've already just lost a son or a brother. A wife. You've just lost a son. I mean, it's a crazy.

This is a guy who found out, apparently from media reports that Hunter was dating his other son's widow. That's how he found out about it, not from Hunter. So this has been a total disaster. It's probably consumed his whole life. Surely in his mind, if he ran in 2016, he'd currently be president. All of this is revolving around these situations. And every time someone brings it up, he has the anger of a devastated father.

I really think that's part of this. I do too. Or a very defensive politician. or a very defensive politician, but perhaps he doesn't. Yeah, and he doesn't react that way about other attack lines. It just seems to be Hunter. And I would say, too, like, he's, he, in a, you pointed this out, he's in his own mind, he's being a good dad.

Like, I think in the same way, Lori Loughlin, in her own mind, is being a good mom. Yes. Right. She's saying, like, I'm doing whatever I can to get my little girl into college. Correct. You know what I mean? And so this is the same thing. And it's worse because you know the trouble your son has had.

Yeah. And you're trying to save your son. Right. And so he, that does not excuse 1% of his behavior, but I think it does explain some of it. He really, he really does seem like his family life has been such a disaster for so long that this stuff really gets to him. You know, they say this about Trump all the time. Like, oh, mention he doesn't make, he doesn't really have $10 billion. You can really get under his skin. And they think you can kind of climb under his skin. This, every piece of this hunter thing gets under his skin. Every piece of. of this gets under Biden's skin, too.

I mean, it goes to it at the core. You can see what a debate is going to be like between these two guys. Oh, my God. I mean, it is going to be. Trump would say Hunter 65 times in the first 10 minutes. It's going to be a Muhammad Ali Frazier fight. I mean, this is going to be a blood sport between those two. And more and more, it looks like it's going to be the two of them.

But after a moment like that, I mean, that's a campaign sinker in previous election. For a Republican, it would be. Because the media would be all over him. Oh, my gosh. The fat shaming? Where's the fat shaming? Right. Nobody cares about that.

I will tell you this. I am very, you know, let me take a quick break and then I'll come back. Because there's one concern about this impeachment that I have that I think is real. And I've never heard anybody talk about it. We'll do that in one minute. We could do that, but I mean, why would we care from a mental basket case like you? I mean, you're dumb as a rock. I keep you employed.

And you always seem to be crying. Always. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Mr. Bill O'Reilly, it's sick freak. Welcome to the program, Bill.

First of all, are you guys intoxicated or what? We're working on it. We are working on it. Yeah, it's 9 o'clock. What is 10 a half to 9? What's the matter with you people? I know we'd ever drink before 9. Yeah, yeah.

Or the alcoholics drink before nine, Bill. I mean, unless they're just going still from the night before. Yeah, then it's okay. Which we were usually doing. But anyway, so Bill, do you see the video of Joe Biden just eviscerating this guy in one of his, you know, no-malarchy stops? Yeah. Did you see it? What are your thoughts?

You know, you know, I see it the same way that everybody else sees it because I know that by Biden loves his son. And I know that he lost the other son, Bo. Yep. And his emotions are overriding everything now. Yes. All right. So that's exactly what I said last hour, Bill.

Thank you for listening. No, I didn't steal it for me. No, you did. You did. No, I didn't. I didn't hear it. Steal from me, you've stolen twice. But here's the thing on that.

I 100% agree with you that Hunter is a child that has been a troubled child for a very, very long time. And as a dad, you know, I think Joe Biden is, in his own mind, thinks he's doing what's right for Hunter in helping him and getting him all of these gigs and everything else. I think he thinks he's helping him when, in my opinion only, I think he's helping destroy him. But if you as a dad have had this troubled kid and you've already lost your wife, then you lost your son, and then you have this son who is always on the edge, I would be extraordinarily protective as well. Thinking at all, I think he's just reacting. So, you know, he's running for president. does he really have his heart in it?

I don't know. I'm not a mind reader, but he's certainly not campaigning effectively. He's not. And nobody can argue with that. So that's number one. And number two, he's got this kid who every time he turns around

is embarrassing him and his family. And he doesn't want to do with the kid. And he loves it. It's like a raw emotion. Yeah. But what is he, This is the thing. Look, if you're going to put yourself on a bus and zoop around a state and say, no, malarkey, and then take Q&A, what do you think is going to happen?

So he should have been prepared for this kind of question. Well, at least from people who are over 90 that understand the term malarkey. Right. I know. I mean, that is something that's a brilliant marketing team. Oh, my God. Yeah, we're going to be drinking sasperrello with Joe. And talking no more larky, I'll tell you that.

Let's get a little saspera over here for Joe. It's crazy. Okay, but the point is that he's running for president. That's Holly the Teradog, by the way. He's running for president, and he's not prepared for this. See, that's the story. It's not belashing out at the chubby guy, all right? The chubby guy was doing this on purpose.

Chubby guy wanted to embarrass him. Chubby guy can say, oh, I'm a Democrat. I'm going to vote for him anyway. Bull. This is a setup. Chubby guy saw his opportunity, went in. I'm going to do this. I'm going to get attention for myself.

But what does it say about Joe Biden and his understanding of just even just the power of being a man? When the first thing out of his mouth was, well, you're sedentary. and you want to challenge to push-ups? I mean, that's like... But that's what I'm talking about. The guy doesn't have control over the process. He's not rational on a campaign trail. And that's the story.

So what's going to happen? What's going to happen? Because you know the one way to get under Donald Trump's skin. And I think Bloomberg is probably in the only position to really, really do this, of standing on stage with Donald Trump. Trump is going, you know, Donald, I mean, you say you're a billionaire, but please. But that's never going to have to be weaving a fantasy. Okay.

But you know that that's what would get under his skin. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. No, because I know Trump better than anybody, all right? Well, Maloney. When he, maybe his children. But I'm telling you, I know the guy really well. and he doesn't care what you say about him.

He doesn't care what you say about his kids, about his father, about his mother. He doesn't care, all right? So he's not going to be like Biden. He's not going to do that. What he'll do is he'll attack you. And yes, if the chubby guy did that to Trump, which would never happen, because Trump people would never put him on a bus, never. And he would never go to a diner and take Q&A.

Ever! Never! Okay? So, but if you got Trump on a stage, a debate stage, and you said to him, hey, you're a corrupt guy who's incompetent and blah, blah, blah, blah, Trump doesn't care really what you're saying. He would just go in and eviscerate you personally, all right? And then it would be a mudfighter. Okay, so how does Trump do that?

Let's say that Joe Biden is the candidate. How does Joe Biden, knowing how he reacts and knowing that Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck have sympathy, not for the dirtiness or anything else, but have sympathy as dads for Joe Biden. And you can say, look, I give him some room on this one. I think that's really out of line, but I give him some room. How does Donald Trump even talk about what happened with Hunter Biden and corruption? Less about Biden and Biden's tragedies. No, I know that, but the American people will. No, but Trump's not going to calibrate it that way, ever.

He doesn't calibrate, gee, if I say this, what are the American people going to think about me? Never. He never does that. No, I know. There are times that people around him should be thinking those things. and probably are thinking to anybody around you. I know. But I'm asking you,

what is the end result with the American people if he just... Oh, I see. You want me to speculate about how they would... Oh, you are the worst. You are the worst.

How they would react to broadsides against... Well, it's not a hard speculation. Trump's base would enjoy it. All right? So there would be a sitcom for them. They don't care what you say about it.

Hunter Biden or Biden's family or anything like that. And I'm not saying this in a in a cruel way. It's just that their rationalization is Donald Trump's been attacked so badly. Yes. Yes. So often that whatever Donald Trump does is justified. Yeah. Okay. So that's number one. The independence and those people, the women, horrified. Horrified. The men? No, you know, I'm, you know, And, you know, the men are voting for, hey, am I going to keep my job? Am I going to be able to add more to my 401K? That's what the men are voting for? They're not looking for sensitivity.

They're not looking for perspective. They're looking for performance. But women would be, you know, unaligned women, unaligned women, appalled if he goes in and he rips up. Joe Biden and Hunter. Yeah. Okay. Mr. Bell O'Reilly. Yes, I'm here. I'm attentive.

So let's get your take on first what happened in the impeachment hearings this week with the very non-biased, open thinkers. Number one, I was watching reruns of Mayberry RFD on the Me channel. Right. So I missed a lot of the live stuff. Because Goober is really, he's more in tune to my way of thinking. Yeah, I like just plain old Mayberry, the RFD days, you know. You know, it's kind of when they were stretching. But I get it.

I get it. You're right. So why would anybody, any human being in this country, pay attention to this? And they stuff on him. And then they have one guy kind of doesn't like him, but is actually a thinker and says, you know, he really don't have enough to impeach him or anyone else. So why are we here? And why do I want to watch this?

For what? I don't know. I don't learn anything. Corruption in the government on display. I'm pretty much convinced that happens every day now. Don't really need to see it again. So, you know, the cable TV ratings have been pretty good this week. There are people who are interested in this.

I don't know why. Maybe you can tell me. I don't know why. No, I have no idea why. I have no idea why. Yeah, because it's not going to lead anywhere. I mean, he's going to get acquitted in the Senate. And by February, this is just a bad memory.

So what does this do to our republic? Well, it's bad for the country in a variety of ways because it just polarizes people even more. It was interesting because in the interview I did with President Trump on a radio, did you hear that back? No, I didn't. But you heard about it? Oh, are you kidding me? That's all we could talk about. So in the interview I did with him,

It was that this whole impeachment is going to help him get reelected. That's the Trump view that I'm going to get reelected, and this impeachment thing's helping me. As there might be a backlash. Because they live in a bubble. The Trump haters pretty much associate with the Trump haters. It's like, yeah. Yeah. I mean, they don't go out of that.

And then if you don't hate Trump, they don't have anything to do with you. They don't want to give you. They don't want any part of you. So it's an isolated, what we're becoming is an isolated tribal country, which we have never really been before except for the Civil War. So we're becoming tribes of people who have special interests, political interests, fanaticism here and there. And the media drives that. So the tribe watches MSNBC. The tribe watches Fox News Channel, right?

And there's no other, there's no non-tribe people watching. They're all of the same mindset. So instead of e-pluribus unum, okay, Stu, tell me what that means. From many one? That's right. It's now, I can't, I don't know the Latin word for tribe, but I'll just say, Tribum. That's where we are.

Tribalelis. Yeah. And interestingly enough, I'm sure you heard that my new killing book is killing Crazy Horse, the Mercilicidian in America. Yeah. Oh, Crazy Horse is one of my, you've got to send this to me. Crazy Horse is one of my favorite characters in American history.

Well, you're going to love this book, but anyway, I don't want to plug the book now. There'll be plenty of time for plugging the book. But the true. Maybe not on this show. Maybe not. Maybe I don't like it. Then you're not getting a free book. Then, in the Native American culture, it was all tribes.

All right, so we're going back to the Native American culture. And the tribes didn't have anything in common with the other. So the Apaches in Arizona didn't have anything in common with the Sioux up in North Dakota and Montana. Okay, so this is what we're becoming. And people don't understand it because they don't get any. intellectual analysis in the media at all. All I get is rooting. I'm rooting for Trump to be destroyed, or I'm rooting for Trump to be president forever. Okay? They don't get, this is what is happening in America. We're dividing ourselves into tribes that hate each other. And that's

like what happens in the Balkans. That's like Kosovo and Montenegro. Yeah, except there's no borders here on this one. We're all mixed in with each other. Yeah, even though we live next door to each other or we work in the next cubicle for one another. That's right. We don't associate. We don't talk to. Correct. And so this is the destructive nature of what is happening politically in America.

And nobody, now they know on the Glenn Beck program, what it is. But I'll tell you, I'll submit to you that what I just told you, very few people are aware of. Bill, what is, how does the, what, tell me the mindset, if you can, of Nancy Pelosi and those in the Democratic Party, how do they think this is going to end? And how do you, how do you think it's going to end? Okay. Do you watch your body language, which is really fascinating. And the way she conducts herself when James Rosen asked a very legitimate question yesterday. Oh, my gosh. It was incredible.

Yeah. Do you hate Donald Trump? And she went off the wall. Now, that's a legitimate question, and nobody should have gone off the wall. If you ask it, you say, no, I don't. I just believe he used his power and shouldn't be there. That's all. Right. You don't go, how do you?

Yeah. I mean, really. I mean, when she said, don't you ever use that kind of language with me, I mean, that was shocking. Right. Because the press is in the tank. So she was caught by surprise. by that question. And the second thing is that Nancy Pelosi is a fanatic.

Okay, hang on. We're going to let that sit and simmer for a while. And then we'll come back with more of Mr. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn. And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast. Hi, it's Glenn.

If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes? If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time. You can subscribe on iTunes. Thanks. Phil Van Cleve is the president of Virginia Citizens Defense League. And he is joining us now. He believes in the right to keep in bare arms. And Virginia has really turned quite radical, Phil.

Has it not? I mean, towards the left. Yeah, Glenn, the last election gave power for the first time of 26 years in all branches, basically, to the Democrats, the House, the Senate, and Virginia, and governor, and lieutenant governor and attorney general. So, yeah, it has, and that's largely because a lot of people slept through the election, only 40% turnout. And what does this mean for gun owners in Virginia? used to be a very solid state, and now it's going hardcore left. Well, for one thing, our governor had some problems with a photo coming up of him being in black face. We're being in the Ku Klux Klan outfit.

We're not sure which it was. It could have been, you know, either one. And to divert attention from that and the fact that he was willing to calmly talk about how you could, about killing babies at advantage to get born, or maybe an abortion didn't work, and they actually got born and deciding what to do and killing this baby laying on. Trying to get away from that stuff, he decided to focus on guns.

Plus, tons of money came in from Bloomberg. Tons. Millions and millions and millions came in the state because Bloomberg wants to get gun control going in Virginia big time. He doesn't like Virginia because years ago, we passed a law when he tried to trick gun dealers into doing straw sales or illegal sales. our state put together a new law that said,

you come in here and do that again, and we're going to charge you with a felony. He's never forgiven us for that, so he's really out to get guns in Virginia. It's like a fetish with him. Okay, so does it look like the Democrats will actually go the way of Bloomberg and start taking away guns, or is it just a preparation step?

to start really looking into sanctuary cities? It's really, yeah, they decided to come on board full blast with all kinds of gun control. We would end up being worse than New York or New Jersey or California. Oh, yes, they put that all in. But what happened was then he woke a sleeping giant. All the gun owners that have been sleeping for years all of a sudden woke up. Oh, you should see the rallies we're having. boards of supervisors, all of cities, they're all saying we've never seen ever this many people here for any other thing, you know.

So, Philip, explain to the people because there's, you know, sanctuary cities usually are, we're not going to enforce this law. Well, what you're saying is you're going to enforce the Constitution. No matter what you pass, the Constitution says this. So it's really not radical. I mean, in today's world, it is, but it's not a radical idea. No, we are simply protecting a constitutionally protected right. We're simply saying, yeah, this right is protected, period. And you can pass what you want.

But if it violates the Constitution, then too bad. And we have sheriffs saying, yeah, they're not going to enforce this stuff. Because these laws that they're putting in don't affect people like me and you, people that aren't criminals that have, you know, perfect records and all. These are going after, it's going after you and me, not people that are criminals. And so we're having, you and I are having the ones in Virginia that would have to do stuff, sell guns or turn them in, or not be able to have this or that or go here or there. And maybe it's criminals we wouldn't care.

So we had a question yesterday come on the show, and it's my understanding. and this, I would love your help on this. It's my understanding that the sheriffs are the only law enforcement that answer directly to the people. They don't answer to the governor, they don't answer to the mayor or anybody else. They are county sheriffs that are elected by the people. And so they are a force that is on their own. They're kind of the last line of defense for the Constitution. Is that true?

Yes, that is true. Texas, I think, also has elected sheriffs when I was a deputy in their county. Yeah. But also, our prosecutor, our Commonwealth attorney, the state prosecutor is an elected position. So they, too, answer to the people. So we also have prosecutors saying, yeah, I'm not going to prosecute this stuff. What does that do? I mean, what does the left do? Because I can't imagine in America coming for guns. It just won't. They're already trying to backpedal on this stuff. They're actually very concerned. They're watching this whole.

They're seeing an uprising is what they're seeing of people going to all these meetings. We have 43 counties now that are saying we're not, we're sanctuary. Out of how many counties? Out of how many counties? 95. Holy cow. We're approaching the halfway mark. And we've only been doing this since little after the election.

November. So this is, and there's going to be a vast number of them coming up to consider this on Monday and Tuesday. We're also planning to have a lobby day rally on January 20th at 8 a.m. at the capital. The rally actually starts at 11, but lobby day starts at 8. We expect, we don't know how many people we're going to have, but we can usually turn out 1,000, 800 to 1,000. I think this is going to be an absolutely eye-popping thing. My wife has kind of pointed out, she thinks what's actually going on in Virginia, it will end up being historical. And I think it will. I think you'll ever see anything like this.

Well, I think that the people rising up against things that are unconstitutional is what our founders told us to do. It's why we have the First and Second Amendment. And when the people rise up locally, I think it will have an impact. I mean, but how many of your, you know, you're really kind of run by Fairfax County, are you not now? Well, there's a few areas. Yeah, that's the problem.

We don't have an electoral college in Virginia. So the vast majority of the state's red, but it's being dragged around by a few blue areas. And so if people don't know the region, Fairfax County, is basically the suburb of Washington, D.C. Yeah, it is. And it's very blue. And the rest of the state is pretty much red with a little splotch of blue here and there, not much. And they're just dragging us around. And the rest of the state is basically standing up.

saying enough of this. You know, you're not coming after our rights. The very guns that they want to ban are exactly what our founding fathers would expect us to have. By the way, one sheriff here in Virginia said if they were to pass a gun ban, he will deputize every gun owner in the county to make them law enforcement so they can keep their guns. How's that for some guns? Wow. Wow. And he can do that too, can't he? Yes, he can. That's amazing. Yeah, our attorney general, oh, it's wonderful. They asked one of the Democrat delegates asked our attorney general, hey, what about these sanctuary cities?

You have no meaning, right? And I was just dying to see his response because he supported sanctuaries for illegal aliens. So how is he going to answer this? They either are or they, you know, are not something, you know. So kind of put him between a rock and a hard place. So, Philip, are you hearing from other states in the Union and other parts of the country that are looking at you as a test model? Yes. Oh, yes, absolutely.

Because they know if Virginia falls, then they're next. I mean, there's nowhere to run. We're pointing out to our, to our numbers. You know where to run. You can go to Kentucky. You can go to North Carolina. You can go to Texas. It's all coming.

You have to stand up and fight where you are. This country, you cannot run. We're here to fight. People died in ditches to be where you and I are. We can certainly stand and fight these stupid politicians. Yeah. Philip, thank you so much. And I wish you the best.

And my sincere hope that everything remains sane and nobody stupid gets involved and does things on either side. because I think people have had enough of being pushed around and the Constitution being just shoved into a corner or outright ignored and peaceful movements like this where you stand your ground are going to be the things that changed the course of the country. Thank you so much.

I believe it is. Thank you very much. You bet. Bye-bye. If you want to find out more, you can go to V-C-D-L V-C-D-L.org. That's Virginia Citizens Defense League, V-C-D-L, and find out more on this. I've said this many, many times for many years. Know who your sheriff is.

Get to know your sheriff. Your sheriff is the last line of defense when it comes to guns. they report directly to you. There's no governor or mayor or anybody else in line. When you have your police department, they are doing the bidding of the commissioner and the mayor and everyone else. This is a standalone organization and it was for a reason. And so know who your county sheriff is and make sure that they are for the first, and Second Amendment.

They're for all of the amendments to the Constitution. The Blaze Radio Network On Demand.
