Starting point is 00:00:00 I can't know. I cannot continue to talk to you about that, Steve. I want to know. I can't talk to you about it. We had an argument at the end of the podcast that, I'm telling you, Stu jumped ugly on. I really would like to know. No, please.
Starting point is 00:00:15 He's a guy who wants to keep the Pee in Pasaki silent. And I say silence no more. That family has kept that letter down for far too long. and uh, Jen Pasaki, not on my watch. Not on my watch. It's brave.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Thank you. Well, there's a lot of brave things. Katie Perry's going to write a song about you soon. There's a lot of brave things that are happening today. We start, uh, the program with the new biological terms. Uh,
Starting point is 00:00:47 I'm sorry. This is amazing. Not biological. The new, uh, gender terms, uh, from NYU. See if you can pick the ones that we just made up. Uh, It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Then in the second hour, we talked about reparation with Bob Woodson, a really important interview. Then we went into why Merrick Garland is so important that you really understand why he was selected and what that means, which rolls in to Clarence Thomas's, his dissent yesterday on the Supreme Court not hearing the Pennsylvania voter fraud. and what the house did do. What did they do? Well, they're trying to silence Fox and anyone like them, threatening the cable companies and the cloud services and everything else, telling them that they're going to have to re-evaluate their relationship with these companies if they don't silence these voices because they're spreading too much disinformation.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And what is that disinformation? Well, that leads us to... H.R. 1. House Resolution 1. You don't want to miss a second, even though it ends tragically racist. It's not. It is. No, I never say any. No. This question alone is racist. You'll hear it on today's podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Now, Pat, your wife and you started a new cookie company. We did. Which is a delicious. What's the name of it again?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Kecksy. Now, it used to be scrumptious. Yeah, but you couldn't spell that one, but everybody can spell. But everybody could. What the. K-E-K-S-I. It's real easy. It's really easy.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Kexi. Once you know it, it's really easy. I would say, like, I wouldn't know it. I was thinking there was an X. And I like that, there's not an X. If you do the X, it'll redirect to the K. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:00 So, okay. Okay. So, anyway, I don't know if you know this. Now, there are some things that in political correctness that are ridiculous. But I think this is one of, of them, or is it? In Dutch supermarkets, they have just gotten rid of a cookie. It's apparently a very big deal.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It's like our Oreo. No cookie aisle can be without Oreos in America. Would you agree with that? Yeah, of course. Chocolate chip cookies. In Dutch supermarkets, it's the Jodenkoken. Joddenkoken. Joddenkoken.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah, sure, Joddenkoken. It's a good name. You should name your... Joddenkoken. Yeah, that's easy to smell. Jodenkoken. dot com. I'm surprised you didn't take it. They're shortbread discs
Starting point is 00:03:42 and apparently Jodenkoken translates to Jew cookies. Okay. How have they gotten away with that? Yeah, well I guess the their ADL over there
Starting point is 00:03:58 which is the Watcher Club for, I don't Dutch Jewish watchdog group on anti-semit I don't know. And then the Jewish, you should name your city, the Dutch watchcraft group on anti-Semitism. And then the central Jewish board of the Netherlands.
Starting point is 00:04:16 They have spoken out and say, we don't have a problem with Jodin cookies. Or Jodin Koken. So their version of the ADL is saying like, we're cool with your cookies. We like it. Jodin Koken is cool. This is exactly what's happening all over. I can guarantee it. Well, I mean, it's, it's, they're Dutch.
Starting point is 00:04:32 So it's white people who are like, we know better than the Jews. we're taking Jogen off because it's offensive and the Jews are like no it's not we don't have a problem with that it's like the Redskins thing here in America like these Native Americans were like yeah actually we really like it
Starting point is 00:04:47 we're fine but I mean when you say it when you're like hey pass those Jew cookies over I mean it just doesn't sound good it doesn't sound good no so we got that going for us we also are having the did you guys see
Starting point is 00:05:00 that now they're asking for the Jeep Grand Cherokee the Jeep Cherokee didn't change their name? Of course they are. Of course they are. Which was interesting. And if you read the article, what I thought was fascinating about it, because they're like, the Native Americans are now saying they want no more, they don't want Jeep to be calling it a Cherokee anymore. And it was the head of the Cherokee Nation, the Cherokee tribe. So proud to live, the ones that are so proud to die. I didn't start him on that 70s song again. They took the whole Cherokee Nation. And they put them on that reservation.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah. Yeah. Took away their way of life. You know, the tomahawk and the bow and the knife. Cherokee people! Okay, thank you. But when you read the article, it seems to be that the journalist just like called up the Cherokee Nation and go,
Starting point is 00:05:49 hey, guys, are you mad about the Cherokee thing? Like, it wasn't like, it didn't seem to be started by the Cherokee Nation. It never is. The journalists are like, hey, shouldn't you guys be pissed about this? And then a guy was like, yeah, we're pissed about this. It seems like it was like generated from the side of the media. Of course it is.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Of course it is. Of course it is. By the way, did you notice scattered showers of journalism yesterday in the State Department briefing? Yes. Did you? Yes. Do you have that audio?
Starting point is 00:06:18 I have it here. I don't think I do. Okay. I don't think we have that. Yeah. Let me, uh, you have it? No, she doesn't have it either. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Hang on a just second. I have it. Just just to bring up my computer. Here it is. This is fantastic. Now, I want you to know. That's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:34 This is. This is audio from an AP, an Associated Press, journalists. And I think that demonstrates that our strategy, including the legislative strategy, the strategy that, of course, Congress has been behind, has been working to good effect. So we'll continue to work closely with Germany. We'll continue to work closely with our other allies and partners in Europe to uphold Europe's own stated energy security goals. It's a bit disingenuous to claim credit for the 18.
Starting point is 00:07:05 companies winding down. All of this work was done of the previous administration. Matt, I'm only being a month. What? I mean, all only been in office for a month, right? Are you telling me that in the last four weeks, these 18 companies all of a sudden decide to say, oh my God, we better not do anything with I am I am speaking for all of that I am speaking. You guys are taking credit for stuff that the previous administration did. I am not I am speaking for the Department of State the people who have been working this. Okay. The people who are working this now, were the same people a month ago,
Starting point is 00:07:37 were the same people... Three months ago? Three months ago. So I... He got him to kind of admit it. He got him to admit it. He got him to admit it, which is nice,
Starting point is 00:07:47 but that'll be the last shower that we have today. Yes. Yes, it will. Is anybody watching Wanda Vision? I love it. Oh my gosh. Is that the most creative show on television?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Did you see after the first episode how many people panned it? And I was like, I don't understand it, but I wouldn't pan it. Yeah, me too. They're too smart of a company to do something that's bad. Well, the first two episodes were so weird because they're just a 50s and a 60s sitcom with a laugh track. And you're like, I don't know if I get it or not.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah. But it all ties together. And you know it's going to because it's Marvel. It's so good. The way it ties together and what they do with it is so creative. I've never seen anything like it. Now, I have a 15-year-old son who is way deep into all the hidden clues. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:40 So it's really fun to watch with him. Because they leave a lot of Easter eggs, right? Yeah, lots, lots. He's stopping it all the time. Do you know what that means? You know what that means? It's really a very cool show. If you're into the Marvel thing, which are in-house.
Starting point is 00:08:56 A little black rain cloud. Stupid gear is not. No, I had Spider-Man. underpants when I was like four? And I liked them then. And now I'm an adult. By the way, the Simpsons, Harry Shearer. I've got the Spider-Man into the universe or into the Spider-Verse underpants now.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Okay, that's much more. I have the Depends. Okay. Do you? I have the Depends. Those are nice too. Yeah. So the Simpsons.
Starting point is 00:09:25 They have spider webs on them? So anyway, Harry Sheerer. has said that he's not going to play Dr. Hibbert anymore on the Simpsons. Has he said it or did they just announce it? According to the rap, Harry Shearer, who is white, will no longer voice the black character of Dr. Hibber. He will be replaced by Michael Richardson. Bless the Hearts next Sunday's episode. It's been so offensive.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Shear had voiced, does voices of Ned Flanders. Is he a Christian? Really, honestly, is Harry Shear a Christian? Why should a non-Christian play the? that role. Shouldn't a Christian? Yes. And principal.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Is he a pre-place principal Skinner? Is he a real principal? Is he a real principal? No. No. That's where we're getting. So there is no quote from him, at least in this story. So I don't know if they just took him off of that.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Well, no, because I remember covering this just a few months ago. And Harry Shearer was asked about about all of this because Hank Azaria had stopped doing a poo. That was what started this. Right. And he was. he said he goes speaking to times radio he said quote i have a very simple belief about acting the job of an actor is to play someone they are not that's the gig right that's the job description
Starting point is 00:10:44 right um he said anymore though yeah but so i i don't think he was in favor of this i mean this was august of last year so this is not a long time ago would it be great when when the cameras start to roll on people who are just normal people and nobody's really really extraordinary at anything and the movies are kind of don't more like like real life yeah kind of like those conservative movies 10 years ago yeah like that that'll be really good that'll be man that'll be good when only dead people could play dead people I like that he's not Winston Churchill yeah he's not so no Churchill movies from here on out I mean can you can the person drawing a poo be white can the person drawing dr. Hibbert be white
Starting point is 00:11:32 you wouldn't have a white person do that because they're yellow. Well, Dr. Hibbard is brown. Yes. Yeah, but Homer and his family, there are no white people in that. It's just the voice, though. That's the only thing that matters. Obviously, this is going to be expanded afterward. It doesn't make, none of this makes any sense.
Starting point is 00:11:49 We sit here and we talk about these things that mean nothing. Yeah. All the time. And it just keeps getting worse. Well, how about? Let's talk about not making sense. I think Joe Rogan said it all when he talked about Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz. Did you see a mariachi band showed up in front of his?
Starting point is 00:12:05 So assinine. I would have. And they're demanding that he resign. Because he went to Cancun when it was cold. Really? That is what Cancun was it developed for. This is what Joe Rogan said. And I think this is right.
Starting point is 00:12:18 What was he supposed to do? What was the reason for him staying? Quote, can he make it warm outside? He cannot. Because of global warming. Yes, he can. can now. Yes. He's hurting our environment. And he didn't right. But he didn't
Starting point is 00:12:34 before he left. There are no, I can guarantee you no one is hiring that mariachi band that is a conservative or a Republican. Oh, no way. No, this is all this controversy is all them trying to do their best to destroy him. Yes. Try desperately to get
Starting point is 00:12:51 him on. I want to talk to him about this. He should not be apologizing for it. Nobody who is a supporter of Ted Cruz cares about this. He's a smart enough politician to know this is going to cause him unneeded pain in his career, which I understand. Stupid political mistake. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And if you looked at his Instagram feed all weekend, it was just nonstop. He's just got cases of water. He's walking around every place in Texas. To me, that looks weak. To me, that does because it looks like he did something wrong. And now he's trying to make up for it. He didn't do anything wrong. He's done that stuff for other disasters.
Starting point is 00:13:25 But you know what? There's a lot. Yeah. He's been, he's been working those things. He was fantastic. at the border. At the border, he was fantastic on the hurricanes that have rolled through Texas. He's fantastic. This one is, I don't have any power. We don't have any water. What do you say we leave here? Because there's nothing we can do. And I have a telephone that I can keep in my pocket and it works on the beach or any place other than space. I believe it was our own Elijah Schaefer who said that Ted Cruz was just working remotely like all the public school teachers.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Oh, Mike. That's great. That is fantastic. That was, that's apparently okay. That is fantastic. All right. Thank you, Pat. You watch Pat Gray, Pat Gray Unleashed live before this broadcast or you can get Pat Gray on Leash where we get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:14:23 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. One of one of the greatest men that I know who is just. So brave in today's society. He is the founder and president of the Woodson Center and the author of a great book, Lessons from the Least of These. Bob Woodson is with us now. Hey, Bob, how are you? Pleas to be with you again, Glenn. It's great to talk to you, sir.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Time has gone by so fast. I can't believe it's been a year since you started the 1776 Unites Project. Made so far in just one year. That's great. That's great. So, Bob, I want to talk to you a little bit about reparations, and I want to play the other side to see how you would answer these things. Right now, the country is going through all kinds of change, and the White House and the House has started hearings and a committee on reparations. What's the problem with reparations?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Well, first of all, the key liberal have been preparation, not reparations. And also, the whole issue of reparations is really to deflect attention away from the critical problems. First of all, just going into it in detail. Who pays? Did you know that? They had thousands of slaves. They were free blacks who also owned slaves. Do they pay reparations?
Starting point is 00:16:13 And so it gets complicated. but also we have had reparations in the last 50 years in the form of poverty programs, the $22 trillion we have spent that was supposedly targeted to these communities, where 70 cents of all the dollars went to commodity out of the poor, and now we're getting ready to create it. So let's what's happening. Let me play devil's advocate here and push back on who's going to pay. it's really not about slavery, Bob.
Starting point is 00:16:53 It's about the inequality and the system that has been racist from the beginning. So it's not really about slavery. It's about the disadvantages that minorities, in this case, African Americans have had from the beginning. Well, first of all, they make the incorrect statement that the problem is facing blacks today discrimination. That is just not true. And the fact is that black doing periods of Jim Crow, building banks, hotels, the median income in Durham, North Carolina, 1940, because of the Black Wall Street was comparable to the income of whites throughout the country. So today, Glenn, 3.5 million black Africans and Caribians, they live here. if racism were the biggest barrier, why do they have incomes comparable to, if not higher than
Starting point is 00:18:03 whites? They have a higher education level. Why is it that these blacks who look like any other black, how is it that they were able to thrive and outperform blacks and Asians in terms of education? If racism were the culprit, then how do you have this as an anomaly? Well, but if you could just give African Americans money, they would be able to change their way of life. They'd be able to pull themselves out of poverty. If you just gave them a big check, they would be able to use that to create a different life for them and their family. Okay, let's just, as if the problems of, let's just take an example. you have black men are 6% of the population, but they're 80% of the NFL.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Two years after these men leave, they are bankrupt. 80% of them are bankrupt within two years. If money, if wealthy men are able to, so it isn't about having income that defines your status is how you use money. and black Americans historically, like I said, their example, in place, we were able to achieve against the odds. In Chicago, in 1929, there was 731 black-owned businesses and 100 million in real estate assets. Even at a time when we were being, if we were able to build medical schools, dental schools, our own hospitals, all in hotels, educational systems in five major cities, where we had crumbling buildings, overcrowded, out-tested every other white school in five major cities at the turn of the
Starting point is 00:20:14 century and up until 1940. So, Glenn, if racism, how is it that under worst circumstances that the jury segregation, blacks were able to perform in ways where we had no control of the cities. So, Bob, in all sincerity, I mean, we know that there are problems in the country and there's growing problems, I think, within the system of racism. And it goes, it cuts in all directions. But the thing that really disturbs me is that we are telling people, we're telling white people that they are racist, they're born racist, they can only be racist till the day they die. and we're telling black people, you can't do it because these people are in your way and you need a third party to keep them at bay so you could accomplish something. I think those are both so dangerous to teach people.
Starting point is 00:21:19 They are, but Glenn, let me say that those people who are supposed to represent black people are not their representatives. If you look at the polls, 80% of blacks are against defunded the police. police. According to a Pew poll, 60% of blacks do not believe racial discrimination is a principal barrier to their being able to achieve. So it is a lie that the people you see on television and those that are in the media of black people, they are part of the race grievance industry, and we have, again, monetized pain and suffering and injustice. They are the ones that white America paying to give racial ones to millions of dollars, they should be compelled to answer the question.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Look at the out of wedlock births. Look at the violence in these cities. Tell me how would be training is a solution to these problems. What we're doing at the Woodson Center is that we are mobilizing people within those communities to represent themselves. And we're raising money so we can demonstrate to people that the real answer to decline is not to demand that white people, black America I just in case you don't know who I'm talking to, this is Bob Woodson, he's the founder
Starting point is 00:23:00 and president of the Woodson Center, author of the book Lessons from the Least of These, which is fantastic. He has been a community organizer in the best sense of the word for a long time, trying to bring people together and teach principles that actually empower people for quite a long time. And he has stood in the same place unflinching, and it's going to get harder and harder for him to stand. I got to believe that the pressure you guys are facing right now, I have to believe, is enormous, Bob.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Yeah, but it is, but I really think that that's one of the best of people, Jack Dorsey, $4 billion, we need to mobilize our, for instance, Glenn, that way, we're not going to do this by just complaining about what the left is doing. We must have a ground game. And what we're doing is we're mobilizing two-point, I mean, 2,500 low-income black mothers call voices of black mothers United. They are standing up with the police against those who want to defund the, and so I really think we've got to mobilize indigenous grievance. for themselves. If you want to donate, I'm going to send them to Woodson Center. Is that good? That'll be good.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, witsoncenter.org. Yeah, wudsoncenter.org. A really important work being done at the Woodson Center. And we all have to stand together. We have to put race aside. We have to, you know, I was pushing back on, Bob, on the reparations, just to show that it doesn't it's not going to stop it doesn't have to make sense they have ways around all of your traditional arguments arguments are not going to work you need to stay informed but we need to get
Starting point is 00:25:25 active and we need to be seen together working to solve problems in all communities and bob is a great great example of working uh in underprivileged communities and empowering people and i am proud to stand by his side, and I would urge you to get involved, even if it's just a donation. I know money is tight, but this is really important work. You're frustrated, you don't know what to do. Reach out to thewoodsoncenter.org. Woodsoncenter.org. Bob, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:26:03 We'll talk again. Thank you. And your listeners have been very generous in the past, and I want to thank them. They are a good group of people, and whenever you need a, you need a, you know, whenever you need a community to come out and work side by side with you, anytime we can do anything to help stand side by side, not just be a wallet, but also be hands. You let us know.
Starting point is 00:26:25 We'd love to work with you. Well, I'm going to take you up on it because we do need hearts and hands and wallets. You got it. Thank you so much, Bob. You let us know. All right, thank you. Woodsoncenter.org. This is the best of the Glennbeck program.
Starting point is 00:26:45 If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening. Built bar is back and it is unbelievable. If you've been listening to my show this year, I love built bars. It's an all-American story. This is a client I asked to be on the show because I didn't listen to my wife again. And she's been telling me about it, but it has protein bar on it. And those always taste like a doormat. This is unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:27:19 The mint brownie flavor? Oh, yes, baby. It is life-changing. The new bars taste better. than ever. In addition to the 12 original flavors, Bilt Bar just added cookies and cream, carrot cake, caramel brownie, lemon almond cheesecake,

Starting point is 00:27:49 go to Biltbar.com, use the promo code back, get $10 off your first order. promo code back, Bilt Bar. This is the Glenn Beck program and this is why shows like this, podcasts, networks like OAN, Newsmax, Fox News, even if we don't agree with each other on many things, it's important to have differing points of view. These are the kinds of things that when the government comes to squash us, you will no longer hear. the for the people bill is now in the house it's hr one it is anything but for the people it is for the oligarchs and it is a federal grab of power unconstitutional power of the voting process clarence thomas wrote his dissent yesterday it was pretty clear what has to be done
Starting point is 00:28:51 but not according to Congress. They're going another direction. I want to introduce you to Robert Charles. He's a spokesperson for AMAC. Full disclosure. Amac is a sponsor of this program, but I don't have sponsors on just to have sponsors on. This guy has worked in national security and criminal justice for more than three decades,
Starting point is 00:29:11 including Reagan and Bush 41. On the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, staff director, chief counsel to the U.S. House National Security. Security, International Affairs, Criminal Justice Subcommittee, unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2003. He was Colin Powell's assistant secretary of state, I&L, managing a $2 billion bureau focused on the rule of law, international police training, blah, blah, blah. I mean, I've only given you a third of his resume. This guy has credibility, and he is a spokesperson for AMAC, and they have been very, very involved in stopping HR1. Welcome to the program, Bobby.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Hey, Glenn, it is a privilege to be on your program, and I appreciate the intro, and of course, encourage anybody to join Amac.us. Amac, it has 2.3 million conservatives out there, fastest growing conservative organization in the country. But, boy, I am so glad you're on the air and I have to be with it. Tell me what H.R. 1 is a travesty. It's an abomination, and you hit it pretty hard right on with your sort of soundbite there. The bottom line is, It is the Democrat effort to reach for one-party control and essentially take all the bad things that occurred in the 2020 election cycle and institutionalize them by pulling the election process, which the founders, as you so brilliantly have written about, but that the founders put at the state level, they want to pull it to the federal level. And what would it do?
Starting point is 00:30:41 It would do about 10 really horrific things. It would ban voter IDs. It would allow mail-in ballots to become the standard. It would create same-day and online registration for voters. It would make a one-party FEC, so you'd never be able to reverse it. It would create mandatory early voting, DMV automatic registration, so all the illegals would be automatically registered. It would give you felons would be able to vote. 16-year-olds would be able to register.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Jeez. It would allow, yeah, it's just crazy. And in fact, you know, the irony is both the Wall Street Journal and the ACLU, who agree on almost nothing, agree that this HR1, which will pass the House and could pass the Senate, is really an abominable. nation. So, oh my gosh, I'm not concerned. Well, they put everything in there. So I am concerned that the whole thing passes, but I'm also concerned about a reconciliation where the Senate says, ah, we can't pass this and they water it down.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Any of this stuff, correct me if I'm wrong, is unconstitutional. The federal government has no role in the way states vote. Well, that's exactly right. And actually, you know, you're right to be worried about the Senate. Right now, the reason that it is likely not to immediately pass the Senate, but we've got to be fearful, is that you have two senators, Democrats, who are moderate Democrats, Joe Manchin and Cinema, who say, hey, we don't want to get rid of the filibuster. We don't want to get rid of the filibuster. And the filibuster means you need 60 votes in order to get a vote of cloture and get a bad thing to get out. If you drop the filibuster, this bill would almost certainly get out of the Senate. And the sad part is it's not only unconstitutional. It drives, it actually hits political speech too. It actually tries to, it reveals all the details of any conservative groups, contributors, write down to addresses so that people can be docks, they can show up on your front lawn.
Starting point is 00:32:42 It really intend, it's an intimidation bill is what it is. And I think, I guess I am fearful because normally a bill like this, wouldn't have a prayer of getting out of either camber. But right now, we live in surreal times, as you so often say. And, you know, we're in a tough moment right now. H.R. 1 could get out along with other bills like H.R. 127 that tries to confiscate guns. I mean, these are significant impairments to the Constitution. Tell me about that one.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I mean, honestly, I saw H.R. 1 come out the first week, and I thought, this is a Hail Mary pass. They'll never. They will. They will get it through. Well, let's pray and let's also work that they don't get it through the Senate. And if the filibuster holds, I don't see them getting it through the Senate, just like HR 127. But, you know, these are stealth. You know, we have all this impeachment distraction. These bills were being crafted behind the scenes to get out as fast as they can get them out. And they will both pass the House.
Starting point is 00:33:38 The second one, this HR 127, allows confiscation of guns, but it does much more than that. It says you can't buy a gun in the future without giving every detail about your home, including where the gun is stored. They'll all be made public. You have to have a psychiatric evaluation. That's crazy. Mandatory minimums up to 30 years in prison if you don't get the license. So we're in an environment right now.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I mean, there's a lot in that bill that people can be afraid of, and I am. But we're in an environment where conservatives need to stand up and speak out. And, you know, you're an historian. And you know that Edmund Burke was really right. All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing. And we are in a position now where we have to not be those people who do nothing. So here's the problem, Bobby, is that people feel as, I mean, they've been worn out. They've been worn out.
Starting point is 00:34:29 And they feel as though the Republican Party doesn't hold their values anymore. I mean, are the Republicans going to actually mount something and actually carry through with their mission, and do they have a plan smart enough to actually pull it off? Well, the bottom line is that we, the people, have to give spine to those that pursuant to the Constitution are supposed to be doing our bidding. And we know that 75 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. We also know that probably another 40 or 50 million sat at home on their couches thinking all would be well, and they love America, but they didn't vote. So the vast majority of Americans, I think, are on the right side of history. The problem is history will make itself if you
Starting point is 00:35:17 don't help make it. And, you know, I'm an old Norman Rockwell Republican. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Ronald Reagan Republican, strong defense, good moral compass, smaller government, lower taxes. If we don't speak up for those things, they will be taken away from us. I am, I thought you said at first that you were a, uh, uh, a Rockefeller Republican. I was like, that's not good. No, no, Norman Rockwell. Yeah, I get it. I get it. Yeah. Um, um, um, So let me, and again, full disclosure, he works for AMAC. Amac is a sponsor, but you know me well enough to know. I ask this of everybody who talks like this.
Starting point is 00:35:54 What are you guys doing about it? What can people in this audience do? Unbelievably, and this is why I love AMAC, I think it's a natural extension. The reason I work for them is that they are the natural extension of the Reagan approach. Yes, you get economic benefits like other organizations for those over the the age of 50, but the main mission is they fight every single day. When I say fight, I mean they are submitting petitions. They are sending tens of thousands of emails. They are making phone calls around the clock to try to defend the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, Fourth
Starting point is 00:36:25 Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Tenth Amendment. I write every day on AMAC. I don't write every day. I write every week, three times a week on AMAC.com. They push their publications out. We're on radio. We're on television. I mean, I'm regularly on Fox. Bottom line is this is an organization that is trying to stop bad things from happening with detail. In fact, people can become delegates. They can become actively involved. I mean, at the end of the day, you know, the Tocqueville was right. At the end of the day, Americans are unique because we do get involved in the civic process and we do try to fix problems. And I am an optimist. We can fix these problems. And the natural law principles that are all embodied in the things AMAC defends, the Bill of Rights, those things aren't going away.
Starting point is 00:37:07 They're given by God and they're out there. But we've got to fight for them because there are government people. I mean, you know the list of names that at the national level are trying to strip us of these rights. And these really are the precious rights that make everything else possible. I urge you to join AMAC. They are, I mean, I've watched this organization from the very beginning. They got into it when Obamacare was going. And they realized what the competitive, the competitor to AMAC was doing. And I talked about it on Fox. And I'm like, this is crazy. Look at what's happening. They're selling old people. They say they represent old people, and they're selling them down the river. And Amac came out of those days, and they are relentless.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So join them. Find them at Amac, amac, amac.us, and join them if you can. Thank you so much. Appreciate it, Bobby. We'll have you on again. No, do that. Thank you. You bet. Bye-bye.
