Again, yesterday, just more senseless killing. It's just so hard to process this. And really you can't. You just can't understand it why this happens. People gather their families together and show up at 6 or 7 in the morning with their lawn chairs and just try to enjoy a 4th of July parade. And then somebody starts shooting at them. from a rooftop.

I don't understand it. Apparently, this guy was known to law enforcement, which we've heard multiple times with these shootings lately. If they're known and nothing happens, I don't, what kind of laws are we going to enact that stop this? Other than reversing our entire system of justice, right? Like, we can go with a Chinese system where we arrest people when they look suspicious. And I will say that if...

You do the future crime thing. If you had that, you could do that. I mean, I will say, if we had that law implemented and I saw this guy, I would have arrested him because he looks as if he was about to wear a shirt that says, I'm a future mass shooter. You look at a picture of the pie. He looks the part. But that's not how our society operates. Wait, you can't just arrest somebody if they look the part? Yeah.

No, that's not how this works, Pat. Yeah. Now, I don't know if that's been challenged in the Supreme Court. We'll have to look into that. I don't know. But I will say that this system of justice is better than the Chinese one. That is your other option, though. You can go more and more toward that direction.

You can start arresting people when they write scary things online or when they purchase a firearm. You can prevent them from purchasing a firearm. We can move toward that Chinese system if we wish. Now, we're going to have to amend the Constitution a bunch of times to get there. So, you know, it's a lot of heavy lifting for the left. But that seems to be what they want here. They seem to be able to want to charge people with crimes before they commit them. And unfortunately, that's not how this works.

Now, we may find out, you said they were known to police. That covers a wide range of things. Right. Like, it could mean that this person, you know, bought the gun illegally because they were so well known to police, they were barred from buying one. We may find that out at some point. It's hard, I will say over the, since Yuvaldi in particular, in particularly, I, I, I have really stopped jumping on the initial details and sort of bandwagon. Right, because they're wrong so often.

They're wrong so often. And, you know, this is something that people have complained about for a long time. The media is terrible. Oftentimes, especially when the police have issues, and again, I'm a big supporter of the police. I think generally speaking, they do a very good job. But occasionally, they don't do a great job. And when that happens, they tend to leak details to the media. that backs up some other narrative that makes them look a little bit better.

Evaldi being a really prime example of that. As they were the heroes of the universe the day after that. And then not so much later on. Not so much. The more we learned, the less hero of the universe they seemed. Yeah, it really did turn around quickly, didn't it? They almost seemed like the opposite of the heroes. It did turn around quickly.

Yeah, it did. So, but I found myself fascinated watching the coverage of this. Because every newspaper in a, America, every big news website was talking about this and at some level it's understandable, right? Like, as you mentioned, it's a terrible tragedy. Here you are. Everybody in this audience probably went out to a Fourth of July event in the most

innocent way and want to just have a nice time with their family for a place like this to have that disturbed with, you know, gunfire from the rooftop of a building from some psychopath. It's obviously incredibly notable, right? It is notable and tragic and awful. And especially because so many people were going through that same sort of event this weekend, we should note that it didn't seem to happen anywhere else. This is one event.

And it was really, really bad. But the same time that they're talking about six shot or six dead and 30 mid-30s, I believe were the injury numbers, incredible, unspeakable tragedy. At the same time, in Chicago, nine people were shot. and killed and 57 shot overall this weekend in Chicago and it happens. The strictest gun laws in the country. And it happens in both places. Every single weekend.

Yeah. Every weekend this story comes out that nine dead, eight dead, 12 dead, six dead, seven dead every weekend. And they don't care about it at all. They never mention it. They never mention it. The only time they ever mention it is because you might. bring it up and say, wait, what about all this violence in Chicago, so that they can call you a racist. Right. Now, who's the racist here, Pat? If you seem to care only about the white people at

the parade being shot and not about the black and Hispanic people in Chicago that get shot every weekend, who's the racist here? I know. I don't think it's us. No, it is not. I actually do care about the people who get shot. Which is why we bring it up. We'd rather it not happen all the time in Chicago. Exactly. Or anywhere else, for that matter. Yes. You know, there's a a lot of cities where they suffer this way every week and every weekend. Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Detroit, all of these cities are suffering with this same malady that Chicago does to one degree or another, and they don't care about any of it. They just keep doing the same Democrat policies.

They just keep restricting guns. And it doesn't help at all. If it doesn't help in these areas where we see them employed, how is it going to help nationwide? It's so ridiculous. They're going after hundreds of millions of guns that are legally owned by law-abiding citizens trying to micromanage their use instead of going after a much bigger problem. And I think one of the issues here is the reason why we talk about Chicago and Baltimore and these other big cities is not just. because Democrats run them into the ground constantly, although that, admittedly, that's part of it. Part of it is to highlight how bad these policies are and how well they work in practice,

which is terrible. But it's not just that. It's also that, like, it's a much more sensible area to focus on. Like, it's really hard to stop one 22-year-old from getting one gun and going on a rooftop and firing at unarmed people in a crowd. Like, it's really hard to stop that. Yeah. And the only way you stop it is because thankfully most people don't want to do it.

Right. You know, that's just the truth. And I mean, he's known to law enforcement. Yep. And yet he still got away with doing that. Right. Right. In a state where they have very restrictive gun laws and in an area that has very

restrictive gun laws. And it's just really, really hard. Now, that doesn't mean you don't try to stop it. Obviously, we've talked about the mental health aspects, stopping people with with criminal histories and mental health factors from getting firearms is part of this focus that the left and the right kind of agree on, right? Like we should stop those people from getting guns. But like, it's really difficult to do that.

And it's one of those things where you're talking about an amount of people, despite how much coverage it gets, that die every year from these crimes, it's almost impossible in a country of 330 million people to try to eliminate that entirely. And to make any difference on that number, you'd have to eliminate it entirely. Right. Like, it's not like a crime where you chape, if you, if you shave 20% off the amount of people who die in mass shootings every year, well, that would be great. And we want to do that. But it would make no difference in the gun violence total that we're talking about all the time. The way you can make a difference on those numbers are things like suicides, right?

Preventing suicides is a really big pool of people who die from gun violence. And it's much easier to try to do something about that. Crime in inner cities is another one. That's where almost all this stuff happens, almost all of it. Yet it gets almost none of the coverage. And how do you, how do you, explain that. If it was the left explaining,

I can guarantee you what they would say, they would say it's racism. You only care about the white victims, you don't care about the black victims. That's what they would say. That's what they say about missing kids all the time, right? Whenever there's a good looking college girl that goes missing, man,

that gets coverage from all the cable news channels. But if it's, you know, an inner city black male, they never get any coverage. And, you know, they say that all the time. That would be the explanation for sure.

if this was the other way around. If the left was the one... No question. Handling this, they would be critical of the media and say, you don't care about the black victims, you only care about the white victims. In the nice little suburbs who are going to their July 4th

events. That's what you care about because of the color of their skin. Now, I don't think that that's the reality here. I think, you know, there is something to do with that sort of crime of spectacle and this big, flashy thing. But the problem with this is the reason why

a mass shooting gets a lot of coverage is also the reason why they keep occurring. Because these psychopaths want this attention. And so giving it to them constantly, and we have not mentioned this person's name, nor will we, giving them constant attention every time one of these things goes down, it's not help the situation. It makes it much worse. And it doesn't help our overall problem with gun violence. It literally does everything it shouldn't and none of the things it should.

yet this is the way it happens every time pat and that's why we're not playing his diatribe you know the little video he he produced I don't want to give him that satisfaction and that publicity but he does have a rambling weird video

that he put out that kind of gave hints to what he might be planning to do here and then he went out and did it but I don't know how you stop it when you see even if you see the video even if law enforcement sees the video can you go arrest the guy because of what he said.

He didn't clearly say, I'm going to go kill people at the 4th of July parade. Maybe you could get him on a terroristic threat at that point, but that's not what he did. So I don't know how you stop him, even being known to law enforcement, unless he's committed some sort of crime. Right.

And really what you could do is try to, again, convert this country into one that does not have, in a sense, until proven guilt, right? Like, that's what you can do. Right. You can try, you can move that line.

Now, red flag laws attempt to move that line, right? That's what they are. And perhaps if you have someone... They're future crimes. They're future crimes. And perhaps if you had, you know, like, they're going to say, well, I don't know. I don't remember off the top of my head the red flag law situation in Illinois. I don't know if, you know, we don't know the details of this anyway.

I mean, whether it was enacted or how it worked, we'll know, within weeks, I'm sure. But the bottom line is if you have someone who's off kilter and you report them, then maybe you could take their guns. Was this... But like, again, for... for how long are you delaying the inevitable here? If you haven't committed a crime, all you're doing is delaying it, which is good. It's better than, you know, it's better than not delaying it. But there's tradeoff here of getting rid of our system of justice to attempt these things,

knowing that 99.5% of the people caught up in these red flag laws will not have done anything. I mean, they're just going to be, you're going to be essentially punishing people for nothing in almost all cases. That's how this works. And the farther you go down that line, the farther you go down the reversal of the relationship between innocence and guilt, the closer you get to places like China. And you can do it. Lots of countries do it. You can go live in one of them.

They're wonderful. Flights are pretty expensive right now, but you can get there. I wouldn't recommend it. I have a friend who went overseas this past weekend, and they're still doing, the first leg of this flight was eight hours. And then there was another five hour and another three hour, I think after that it was, you know, they're going to like Africa for some, something that I'll never do. And I was thinking to myself, oh my gosh, that sounds terrible. And then I heard they have to wear a mask the whole time. Oh. They're still masking on these international flights. Really? Can you

I can't. I can't imagine. So like 13 hours, 15 hours? No. No. On a masked? No. I'm not doing it. By the way, an eight-hour layover someplace in an airport where they also have to be masked the whole time. Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine? No. No. I can't do it.

No, I can't do it. I won't do it. No, I will. I mean, I wouldn't do it without the mask. And you get to pay a massive price for that, too. Oh, my gosh. I can't even imagine how. It's like, it's like, Mount Kilimanjaro or something.

It's like, that's probably an amazing experience to talk about when you come home. And I got to say, I think most of the questions are going to be about the flights. Yeah. Not about the mountain. No, right. AAA 727BECK. Life is about being active, whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising. You know you're well when you're regularly active. But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day? This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago.

Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for was held captive to almost constant nagging. pain. When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance. Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since. And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors. And about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start for only 1995. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 8004.4.4. Relief, 804 Relief or Relieffactor.com. Find out all about this offer and feel the difference.

Okay, so your friends are going to Mount Kilimanjaro? Are they climbing? Mount Kiliman. I don't know all the details. I mean, they know there's helicopters now, right? You could take a helicopter. Even there? Yes. Oh, wow.

Okay. So that's, no, they did not know that. 19,000 feet. Yeah, it's one of the highest peaks in the world. Now, I don't think they're like, they're not expert mountain climbers. I don't think they're going to the top. But I guess there's like a bunch of hikes and different levels of things you can do there. And it's an amazing thing to do.

Like the stories are going to be incredible. But here's the crazy detail about this. So it's a couple. One of them is a friend of Lisas who is in shape, works out every day. You know, the typical person you'd think would think it would be desirable to go hike on a mountain. Okay. Go to Africa and hike Mount Kilimanjaro. Right.

Okay. You know those people exist. They seem completely foreign to me. And there's another species essentially. But okay, it goes to the gym every day. She did Pinatubo, I believe, in the past. Who hasn't? Right. You know, who among us? Pat and I, we did. We used to have an annual trip. Yeah, to Pinatuba. We would do a semi-annual, actually. Yeah, it was. It was semi-annual, actually. We used to take listeners. It was great. But so she's done that before. She can handle it. Her significant other in this situation is fascinating because he's like a normal guy. He's like, if, yeah, like the first time we went to Pinatubo, think of that, think of your mindset. You know, he's not like a gym rat. He's not like a marathoner. He's not, he's just a guy. He's like a normal guy. He's not in bad shape, but he's just like a normal guy.

You just like, he's just going and he didn't train for this at all. He didn't prepare. He didn't train. He didn't like run, you know, a couple of miles a day to get ready for this. He's just jumping from like office life to Kilimanjaro. The words rude awakening come to mind. It's funny because isn't there a part of you that thinks, I can get through anything for a couple of days? You know what I mean?

I can get through any. You know, it's going to suck. And I'm probably going to be miserable for a couple days. But I'll get through it. It's not that big. No, you won't. No. This is a terrible idea.

That's something like that. Yeah. No. What you'd be hoping for is that your flight would be canceled. Right. And that could happen. This is when, like, halfway there, you inject yourself with COVID. And you just, I can't.

Oh, darn it. I'm, all of a sudden, I got stuck. Oh, crap. Yeah. What a, what a hassle. Well, you go on your own, honey. Like, that's what you do. Don't let me stop.

No. But I'm going to be hold of in the hotel. Or at the very least, you somehow acquire a positive COVID test. that someone else is taken and you just stuff it in your luggage and then you just pull it. Oh my God. I just, I decided, I didn't feel great. I decided to take a test and look at this. There it is. I've tested positive. Speaking of the flights though, did you see that Delta Airlines was offering $10,000 to people to give up their flight? Really? $10,000 sold. Yeah, I think I take that. Yeah. Because I've been in that situation where it's

escalated to levels that have tempted. Yeah, they started at $1,000. $5,000. Oh, wow. I think I would have been tempted at $5,000. I've never seen it that high. I haven't either. I've seen it like, we'll give you $300 or a discount on your next flight. No.

No, thank you. They usually give you that thing where they're like, it gives you, at least America, I think it's American Airlines that does this and they give you like three options. They're like, we need someone to leave. How much would you take to leave? And you could pick the highest one. There's like a middle one and the low one. So every once in a while, I'll click the highest one.

I'll be like, you know, if they're going to give me $1,600. Yeah. I'm going to change my flight. But 10,000? I mean, I'm in. I think I'm in on that. I'm going to be... Yeah. On this.

Right. Like, I'm flying, I'm going to be like, I'm going to have the pilot deal where I get to just like hop in into the plane and go wherever I want for years on that. Yeah, it'd be awesome. That would be worth of $10,000. It's incredible. I have a vacation coming up. There's no way I'm getting to the location, is there? There's no way.

No. It's not happening. program. Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog, Uno, has changed. He's a completely different dog. I hear from people all the time in the audience. I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog. They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show.

They get some from themselves. And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolves it down. And it's really good for them. It's not a dog food. It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle. Your dog needs these things to be healthy. My dog was easy. From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.

Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though. Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week. He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try. So right now, he's got a special gift available. You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out. All you pay is shipping. Go to Roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn 33. Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.

There was a mass shooting in Copenhagen. which is not in this country. I don't know if you're aware of that, but Copenhagen is not in the United States. Not Copenhagen, Texas. No, it's not. Copenhagen, Denmark. And three people were killed,

multiple people shot and wounded at a mall in Copenhagen. So I think somebody's lying there because it doesn't happen in other countries. It only happens here. As it did again on the 4th of July, of course. And there was another shooting, interestingly, but it involved police shooting as suspect. Yeah, I just have to mention here on the Denmark thing, because people will say, well, yeah, one shooting. One.

How many have you had in the United States? 264 this year along. Oh, and we have to get into that because that's really a frustrating part. It is. Because, no, I'm getting sidetracked. But like the Chicago shooting, right? what they love to do is ignore the fact

that nine were killed and 57 shot in Chicago separate from the mass shooting that happened in the suburbs. They want to ignore that and only talk about the mass shooting. But they get to have things both ways because then they will include multiple incidents from Chicago

over the weekend and call them quote unquote mass shootings and insert them into this number they keep building which everybody who's looked at knows is ridiculous. But they keep doing it anyway because they get the best part of both worlds. They get to blame guns

for the incident and build their mass shooting numbers while completely ignoring that their own cities and their own policies are the places all of these things are occurring. Yes. It's fascinating. And in the places with the strictest gun control in the country. Yes. Like Chicago. Fascinating. By the way,

6 million people in Denmark. Okay. There's 6 million. We have 330 million. So we have what 60 times almost? most as many people. So in theory, if all else was equal, which it's not, if all else were equal, you would expect to hear about a shooting in Denmark approximately 1 60th of the amount of time. Right.

So when you do this and they do this all the time, they lean on things like, for example, New Zealand's per capita deaths from mass shootings are higher than ours because they've had like three or four really bad ones, despite the fact that they have taken guns from their citizens. They have nothing. Not only did they ban them, they took them from those who had guns. And the thing you're talking about is probably the after the Christchurch shooting, which was this really terrible one that happened a couple of years ago. But they did the same thing after the previous mass shooting, which Christchurch was after, right? They took away tons of guns the first time too. Right. So, you know, we went through all this. If you go to, uh,

Sue does America on YouTube that we did a gun special. We went through all of the mass shooting numbers and showed all this data just to show that like, because these things, I'll be honest, do feel like they happen a lot here and it sucks. It really does. It feels, I mean, I talk to people who are big Second Amendment supporters and aren't talking about taking guns away, but still we're just, gosh, I can't believe this is happening. What do we do about it? And that is a legitimate conversation.

We should do something, whatever we can within the balance of the Constitution and our law and our traditions. we should we should do something um on the other hand we do have to realize you do not need to be terrified every time you go to a fourth of july parade like this just statistically your chances your chances ever think of how many people yesterday went to this parade i mean like this is a kind of a crazy we probably had 20 parades just in the metroplex here oh yeah at least and nothing happened at any of them right uh you know your chance if you went to let's say there's i don't know I did this with schools because this is the real number for schools, but there's 150,000 schools in the United States. 150,000. The fact that you can name three incidents from the past, you know, 10 years at schools, from Sandy Hook to Parkland to Uvaldi.

Now, obviously, there have been other incidents in between, but they've, you know, smaller scale. It's really huge ones. Three massive scale incidents. Over a decade, with 150,000. schools. Number one highlights how impossible it is to stop, right? How do you stop three incidents over a decade in 150,000 schools where kids are going to these schools 180 days a year? It can happen at any of these schools on any of these days.

So finding and stopping an incident like that is really, really hard. You know, you can make it worse by some of the actions that it looks like the police did not take in Yuvaldi, but like to actually stop it is really difficult. Sometimes they do, and they do stop some of them. But the same thing is with these Fourth of July parades. Then think about the actual parade. How many people went to that parade? Probably 5,000, 10,000. We do have, we have six people dead, which is horrible. And I can't, it's hard to overstate how terrible it is. But it's also important to put in perspective. Even if you went to the parade, your chances of being shot. being shot, we're very low.

Yeah. And even if you got shot, it seems like about 80% of people survived. So, I mean, like, it's important to put that stuff in perspective. It doesn't make it any better for the families. It doesn't make it any better. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop it. But it is important to keep things in perspective and not live your life in constant terror, which is what the media seems to want you to do.

Yeah. You know, like the chances of these things happening to you are much lower than you getting into a terrible car accident. like I there are other things to worry about that are much more prominent um I went like three steps off of where we were going there uh we were talking about the Copenhagen right it's a are we are we have we settled on Copenhagen now I'm staying on I'm not going to Copenhagen you can call it Copenhagen all you want in the mainstream media I'm not going there but it's true that like yes they have fewer events in Denmark than we do but that's also partially just because they don't have a lot of people they also don't have

a lot of racial strife in Denmark. Because they're all the same race. Yeah, they're all white people who have lived there for 75 centuries. And honestly, like, it's so cold at times. You can understand why. Like people are just like, look, I don't want to go there. I'm not even going outside, let alone shooting anybody. I'm not doing it.

Exactly. Yeah. So there's a lot of aspects that go into that. There was another shooting. And again, this is the same type of thing where the media tries to, to convince all black people that they should be terrified of police because they are out on the hunt for you all the time. This is what police do. They wake up in the morning.

They have donuts. This is the one thing we know about police officers. They have to have donuts. And after they have donuts, they walk around looking for black people to shoot at the streets for no particular reason. This is the narrative we get from the media all the time. This is what they do. So there's a case in Akron. And they had a, the guy's name was Javon.

Jaylen Walker. And Jalen Walker was going to be pulled over for a traffic stop. And of course, the narrative is, just give you the summary in case you don't know the story. And you wanted to read a media story.

Guy was unarmed, black man, running from police, was shot at about 60 times by police. And you know what, this should not happen over a traffic stop, Pat. No, it should not happen

over a traffic stop. No, it should. not. And it shouldn't. I would agree. In fact, you are the king of traffic stops. You've been pulled over 15,000 times since you moved to Texas. It's never happened to you. Why? Because you're white. White. That's the only reason. I'm white. Now, I assume you did all the things that

Jalen Walker did in this particular story. And you just, they just at the end said, oh gosh, Pat Gray, you're so silly. I can't believe you just drove away from us like this. So what happened was, let me tell you, this sounds familiar to you in the way you deal with police incidents when you get pulled over Pat.

Okay. Known speeder, Pat Gray. Jalen Walker gets pulled over for a traffic stop. Was he speeding? I don't know if he was speeding, honestly, on that part of the story. But he decides, he feels apparently for some reason, things might not go well. Now, maybe he's guilty of a crime. Yeah.

Maybe he's just terrified of police officers. I don't know. But he decides to leave and not pull over and run from police in the car. So he's driving away from police. Okay. He eventually gets surrounded by police cars, pulls over again and then leaves again, somehow escapes the situation. And once again, high speed.

So far this is really familiar. I've done this, I don't know, probably 15, 20 times. 15, 20 times. And never been shot at. Never been shot at. Amazing. That white skin really gets you out of those problems. And so he then, escape from cops, while he's driving, he fires his gun out of the window. Okay.

Now, when. It's logical. When you are being chased by police and you fire a gun out the window, you have escalated this beyond just running from the police. You have now fired a weapon out the window. Now, to give the disclaimers here, this is what we're told from the police. This is their justification, right? So we should be skeptical over these things as people are, you know, should be treated with skepticism. as we saw in Yuvaldi, right?

Like at times you have to make sure, sometimes they don't tell the truth. However, in this particular case, there's no indication that they know the per driver is black at this point. And the officer says it while they're driving. Okay, he just fired a gun out the window. We have a shot fired. This is before they've even had an interaction with him.

So it would be really hard to come up with a situation in which, like, they don't even know he's black yet. And they're planting this information before they even say. him before they, like, it's just, it would be too much for any reasonable conspiracy theory. But I'll allow for the possibility anyway, because you never know in these situations. Eventually, he gets out of the car, decides to run from police. He gets out of the car on foot, runs from police, then turns around back toward police, and they shoot him a bunch of times.

Now, for some reason, the focus of the story is how many times they shot him. Once dead, does it really matter how many times you've been shot? I know from watching many, many movies, Pat, that you watch the movie and they shoot the bad guy and then they all start celebrating and hugging each other while the bad guy gets up slowly in the background. When you use a firearm, like that's what you're trying to disable the person

who may be trying to kill you. And the police, after seeing this guy already fire a weapon seemingly at them, kind of had an indication he may be violent. Right. So when he turned to them, they fired him, they hit him a bunch of times. I mean, look,

If they shot him and he was dead and then they walked up to him and shot him a thousand more times, there would be criticism to be put on the police officers, though it wouldn't change the outcome. It wouldn't make it more tragic. He was already dead. Well, but then he was mega dead. He was mega-Doppler dead. Mega-Dopler dead?

Yeah. Wow. That sounds bad. And that's bad. That's bad. Yeah. You don't want that. But like, there are times where math comes into play here.

And let me walk people through the. bath. They're not familiar with this particular level of calculus. When they shot it? They did not. But that's the argument from the lawyer. He was unarmed. At least that's what they're saying. He was unarmed. Well, an unarmed guy firing a weapon out the window. That doesn't compute to me. Okay. Here's the math of the situation, though. This is advanced level calculus, Pat. If you do X and Y, X and Y, Z often occurs. If you run from police.

if you fire weapons at police. If instead of falling down on the ground and putting your hands behind your back, you turn back toward police during a chase. Oftentimes, you will get shot. The color of your skin is not material to that equation. And be, well, disproportionately, look at the actual numbers. I'm not going to bother breaking them down for you.

It's a nonsensical argument that isn't true about, I mean, this is, you know, from criminologists, an African American criminologist, who went through the numbers and said, actually, it looks like white people are more likely to get shot of these incidents. So don't even bother with that nonsense. But the bottom line is you can't, you should not do those things. The police may have acted improperly. Maybe we will find out they didn't fire a weapon and they had some big conspiracy against this guy.

If that's true, obviously none of this applies. But either way, you don't run from police. You don't turn back toward them when they are asking you to get down on your knees. You certainly do not fire weapons out them out of a, essentially. speeding car. Was that a Chris Rock sketch at one time? I think you're right.

I think he talked about that. I'm not going to use the words he used to recreate it. But yes, I think you're right. And you might look into that and listen to that for pretty good safety tips. You know,

he was being funny, but it was a good safety tip what he was trying to tell everybody. You know, just don't act like that. Don't run from police. Don't shoot it, police. And then chances are better that you're not going to get shot.

Yeah. You might not eliminate every single bad outcome because sometimes police do act terribly. Sometimes they just act inappropriately and wrong. Not based on race, but just handle a situation terribly or poorly. Or maybe they're corrupt or maybe they're violent. Who knows? It does happen. But you're going to eliminate 99.9% of the stuff.

Yes, you are. If you just don't act like that. Triple-8-7-27-B-B-E-C-K, Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck. program. Sign up for the free newsletter today at glenbeck.com.

Yes, please. Go live forever. Stay in France. That'd be great. I don't mean send us photos, but stay. Sure. I don't think that anybody mentioned to her that France has a 14-week limit on abortions. Which is a week less, a week more restrictions than the Mississippi law that started all this.

Right. Amazing. So, but don't worry about that. Look, a lot of people don't know the fact, maybe we should go through this at some point today, that Europe has tighter laws than the United States. Even before, I mean, before all this went down, Europe's laws were more conservative than America's laws on abortion. Yeah. Because we, like, had no restrictions in many places. This is the Glenn Back program.

I know I don't, especially what we've seen over the past couple of weeks. Why are you going to be donating money to those causes? You know you don't agree with them. Why let your money go there? In fact, Patriot Mobile does the opposite. They donate to conservative causes, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team gives amazing personal service. They give you a great service on your

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, AAA 727 BECK, the sports world being turned upside down in a couple of different places.

College football for one with USC and UCLA leaving the PAC 12 for the Big Ten, which means that the Big Ten will have teams from Maryland to California now. These conferences like literally. No sense at this point. They're all named. The numbers don't mean anything anymore. Right. None of it makes sense.

Exactly. I can't even follow it anymore. Very difficult to follow. And so all of a sudden, the PAC 12 is like on the verge of collapse. And so what holds it together right now is Oregon and Washington are waiting on Notre Dame's decision as to whether or not because they've been invited, whether or not they're going to join the Big Ten. If they do, then I guess Oregon and Washington are out and would maybe go to the Big 12 at that point. The Big 12 seems to be in a little bit of a problem too because they probably need to merge or just about merge with the Pac-12. It's impossible to keep track of.

It's incredible what's happening. And so what's happening right now is they're forming two super conferences, the Big Ten and the SEC. and they think that those two conferences might wind up with 30 teams each and then just split off from the NCAA. And that changes everything. That's incredible. Isn't that something? Yeah, I mean, that's really an upending of American tradition.

Right. You know? Right. Where I need something to hold on to. Yeah. Everything else is being uprooted. Don't take this from me too, please, please. Well, at least you have golf.

You can depend on. The PGA will be there. forever. And apparently not so much. Yeah, I mean, that's the whole, we've talked about this a little bit, I think, on the show, but the Liv Golf Tour, which has pulled all these big golfers from the PGA, offering them nine figure checks. Is that the one supported by the Saudis?

Yeah. What does Liv stand for? Do you know? I believe 54. Oh, okay. Their tournaments are 54 or whatever. Yeah, I mean, it's a, it's a, you know, a clever way of live, you're living in golf. Live golf.

Okay. Also, LIV being 54 and they play 54 whole tournaments instead of the normal 72. Ah. One of their many tweaks of the format for normal PGA tournaments. Is that favorable to the golfers? Yeah. Play less. Yeah.

I mean, the less work for more money. I don't know. Is that favor? How would you feel about that? Yeah, I would feel pretty good about it. How about this? The Pat Gray Unleashed program available on Blaze TV is now eight minutes long and they'll pay you triple. Okay.

How does that? Oh, okay. Wait a minute. Let me tell you this. One of our stated allies is behind the money. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Are you going to... Again, we all know Saudi Arabia has a lot of shady stuff going on.

We are aware of this. They are not angels. But there are certain classifications of countries, right? Like North Korea, currently Russia, is in this area where we're like, okay, like, known adversary doing really terrible things. We're not going to do any business with them. We're cutting them off. entirely or as much as we can from the economy.

There's another level below that, which is like, you know, in some ways like China, right, where like they are kind of a known adversary at this point. But we don't, we don't,

we still have lots of economic activity. We still buy all their stuff at Walmart. Bought tons of it, right? And we still have a major relationship with them. We still have a lot of American companies doing production over there. A lot of that stuff goes on. Then there's another layer of,

you know, there's places like India. where like India does a lot of stuff that we wouldn't agree with, but we have a generally, at least we did until Joe Biden had a generally friendly relationship with India. I mean, freaking, you know,

the Indian people love Donald Trump more than Melania loves Donald Trump. I mean, they, they got the gold statues of the guy all over the country. They loved Donald Trump. And they love, in some ways, love America.

That's sort of faded recently. And there's been some differences there since Biden has been in control. But still, like, those are countries that we would. not agree with their policies. We would not agree with how many of the people in the country are treated. But we have a generally warm relationship with them and do tons and tons of trade with those

countries. Saudi Arabia is, you know, in many ways, has been an ally of ours. Like they have been, they don't like terrorism either. They've been victims of it many times. Now, they also have Iran have been involved in. Yes. It lets. Quite famously.

The rule at 9-11 is not exactly something to overlook here. But like they can't stand Iran. They have a lot of our similar interests in that region. And they're sort of in that area where we say they're an ally. That's not exactly what they are. That's not, I wouldn't say they're an ally. But they do assist us on certain things. And then they do a lot of really terrible things that we don't like.

other than that, what are the categories of countries? You have countries like Europe, where we generally have Western values. They constantly say how terrible we are and everything that we do that they don't like, constantly critical of us. Our president goes overseas and criticizes our Supreme Court in front of overseas audiences in these countries. But like, you know, other than Europe, basically that's what you have in the world. You have countries that generally speaking are disagreeable to us and our values. and if you're going to continue having any form of international trade,

you're going to have to put up with a lot of stuff you don't agree with. You know, you basically should, you basically can only eliminate the most egregious offenders. And Saudi Arabia, while they do a lot of things we don't like, does not fall into that category for the United States. You know, so, right. So, but they're still getting a lot of flack, right? The players who are considering joining the tour,

Has anybody officially joined it? Yeah, yeah, that bunch now. Phil Nicholson was kind of the big first one to drop. But they're talking about he got paid $200 million to go over there. $200 million. Bryson DeShambot went over. It's guaranteed just for joining the tour? I believe it's technically appearance fees.

So they have to actually show up at the tournaments. But yeah. I think I'd go for $200 million. I think I would. I would too. Yeah, I hate to admit that, but I think I'd join the Saudi tour. And I'll say this to the Saudi Arabia if they're looking for a new show called Studeau Saudi Arabia

and they got nine figures behind that, let's talk. You know, I mean, no offense to Glenn and the Blaze. Right. But, you know, if you need to talk about like, you know, sand storms. And how they're good. How they're good. Yeah. You should like them.

You should thank the government for bringing you the waters. Saudi oil is really quality oil. The best oil. And you should be buying it. Comes out of the ground. You know? Yeah. And I, look, other governments might not do that as well as South.

And that's why I support this, you know, government sponsor. It would be hard to turn down. It would be almost impossible to turn down. And like, would you turn it down for North Korea? There's a lot of people who would say, no, probably. But I think yes, you're right. You're going to turn it down if it's North Korea. Yeah.

If it's Saudi Arabia. I mean like Coca-Cola sells a lot of Coca-Cola in Saudi Arabia. No one hassles them about it. Why are we hassling golfers about it? That's a good question. We have a relationship with this country. Like, they're not, there is a very limited amount of country. We don't do it very often.

We didn't do it to Russia after they took Crimea. Right. Like, they had to really go all out for us to get this pissed off at Russia. Like, North Korea has, you know, internment camps all over their country. and we don't have that relationship and they don't want an outside relationship. Obviously they're a very strange country. But like China has internment camps all over their country

and we still have a relationship with them. Yeah, we still do a lot of trade with them. Very few people outside the right criticize the NBA for the relationship they have with China. Yeah. And if you do it, you're called it a racist and banned off of social media. And by the way, Brittany Greiner is still

still being held in Russia. Which is absolutely incredible. Still, she's begging, she wrote a letter begging Biden to get her out. And she's still there. It really is fascinating. July 5th now, what was she taken? She was arrested in, was it March? It was after the, it was like a month.

I feel like it was like several weeks or a month after the war started, which is like, gosh, the fact that she was even there. Yeah. It's amazing. But she goes, from what I understand, she goes every year. Yeah. Because, you know, there's money to be made in Russia. and so they have a women's professional league and she goes over there to supplement the income

because they don't make that much in the WNBA. Yeah, they make, they do fine. Yeah, they do fine. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. And based on the, you know, based on the audience size, the fan size. Arguably, they should make zero dollars. I mean, like, let's be honest. To be honest about it.

Arguably, yes. And I will say, you know, people like, oh, we've talked a lot about women's sports recently. it's been a big topic on talk radio. Oh, I can't believe they're letting this, you know, this swimmer win these swim meets. And let's be honest about it. I don't care who wins the swim meets, frankly.

Literally the only thing that I care about when it comes to women's sports, I will give you the one time I'm interested when my daughter is playing. Yeah. Literally the only time I will ever be interested in women's sports. Oh, that's not fair. Women's tennis I like watching. I think women's tennis is entertaining, even as it compares to men's tennis. because at least it's not just

a serve, ace, serve, ace every single point. So like women's sense to me is actually more entertaining. There's a couple things here and there. But generally speaking, like I'm not a huge passion guy when it comes to the authenticity

of women's sports. But it's fascinating to kind of see this stuff happen. I mean, Brittany Griner is like one of the four names in the WMBA I might be able to come up with. Yeah, me too. Pretty famous, right? Like a big star.

I don't think I could come up with three others, frankly. Rossi? Diana Terussi. She's still playing? Okay, she's still on? I think she still plays. Is she?

I think she does. I think she does. She's got to be like 63 years old by now. She's like the Kareem of the sport. She's been around for a long time. I could give you Rebecca Lobo, but she hasn't been played for some time. I mean, it's true. It's not something I care about, generally speaking.

Yeah. I think it highlights the issue of the trans stuff and how nuts it is to the, the average American really well, though. And it's like, I can tell you if my daughter, you know, gets a silver instead of a gold someday because some dude decided to come over and kick her butt in women sports, I am going to be very, very passionate about it. And I think that's how most Americans can connect to that issue. We have to be, it's just a way to highlight to the American people, you know, how this,

how ridiculous this is. Because everyone can quantify it there. It's hard to quantify. It's hard to understand. someone who's going through a transgender type of issue to the average American who isn't trans. Now, I know polling is starting to show that maybe the average American is trans. So I don't know how much longer I can make this point. I think about 80% of us are.

It seems like about 80% right now. But like the average person can't relate to what those, you know, what those people are going through. I mean, it's, you know, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. I can't ever comprehend or contemplate that it could happen to me. I don't, you know, so I don't, it's not part of my lived experience, as they say, Pat. But the average American can very much see, okay, this is ridiculous here. You know, you might be like, oh, I don't want to be mean.

I don't want to leave her behind like this. Yeah. I can't believe it's been this. It's been months, at least three months and maybe four. And she should have been released. If Donald Trump were in office, first of all, I don't think it would have ever happened. I don't think she would have been arrested in the first place. but if she had been, I think he'd have her back in two days.

And yet she's languishing over there in a Russian jail, and it just keeps going and going and going. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn this week. In life, there are good and bad surprises. Finding 20 bucks, good surprise. Car breaking down. Really bad surprise.

You just know what's coming every time. Stinking Romney. He wrote for the 4th of July this happy message to America. even as we watch the reservoirs and lakes of the West go dry. We keep watering our lawns, soaking our golf courses, and growing water-thirsty crops. As inflation mounts and the national debt balloons, progressive politicians vote for ever more spending. As the ice caps melt and record temperatures make the evening news.

We figured that buying a Prius and recycling the boxes from our daily Amazon deliveries will suffice. When TV news outlets broadcast video after video of people illegally crossing the nation's southern border, many of us changed the channel. And when a renowned conservative former federal appellate judge testifies that we're already in a war for our democracy and that January 6th was a genuine constitutional crisis, was it, a mega loyalist snicker that he speaks slowly. and celebrate that most people weren't watching.

I just celebrate the fact that our democracy was pretty solid, regardless of what happened on January 6th. I mean, again, had they accomplished their goal, which was, I don't know, was it hanging Mike Pence? Was that their goal? It was holding up the vote, which they couldn't do. There was no, there was nothing really that would have stopped the vote. I mean, they could have delayed it for a little, a few hours, which they did.

And then they voted anyway. And everything was fine. Well, you do remember, of course, the truth here, Pat, which is January 6th, they were supposed to have this vote. And they count the vote to name who the president was going to be. Right. And then what happened was that on January 6th, they did that. They counted the vote. Yeah.

Yeah, they did that. It was later, though, than initially planned. Right. It didn't happen at the exact minute they were going to do it, but it happened later that same day. and that's frightening. And by the way, we should also note that like Mike Pence was a good part of the reason that did occur, right? Like he, you know, he decided, you know, he wanted to go, he,

look, it's in the scope of the American democracy, this day gets overstated quite a bit, quite a bit. It sure does. It is, it was a bad day, bad things happened. It was a riot. Yeah. It was a riot. And when riots happened, I say they're bad.

all the time. I know that's not the position of the media who tends to tell me that they're mostly peaceful fires, but like I think they're all bad. But like I don't think democracy was at risk. It wasn't. I mean, it's so overstated.

It's just, it's nonsense that democracy, which we don't have was at risk. Right. That's true too. That's a good point. I mean, there are elements of our democracy in our republic. Yes, but they were not at risk. They were not at risk. They were not at risk. They were not at risk. These were the worst insurrectionists in the history of insurrection.

But Romney goes on to describe that the left thinks the right is at fault for ignoring climate change and the attacks on our political system. The right thinks the left is the problem for ignoring illegal immigration and the national debt. But it's only Mitt Romney who really knows all that is wrong and needs to be righted. I mean, this guy, who does he think he is? And he continues to just to just acquiesce to the left on a regular basis and accept their premise like January 6th and climate change. Well, I don't accept the premise that man is causing all the climate change. I don't believe that. I think that the sun is very responsible for the warming of our temperatures.

Tell us more about this sun. You refer to it to it. Well, there's a 2 million degree burning orb in the sky. And some people call it the sun. Now, 2 million degrees, I mean, on the surface it's only 11,000, but as it travels out with all the gases and things, and they don't really know all the reasons. It gets much, much warmer.

But then that sends warm air our way. Like in the mail? No, like through space. And these rays actually come to this planet it and warm it. At least that used to be the theory. But now, I guess, it's all CO2. It's all CO2.

Wow. Sun has nothing to do with it anymore. Can you, is there a way to see it? Like in a telescope or something? Yes. Really? Yes, you can't. Don't do that, though.

Doing our part to keep free speech alive. There's much more after the break. on the Glenn Beck program. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. This is interesting. A woke universal music group worker claims he was fired for speaking out about

abortion rights. After he admitted, he refused to work because he was in mourning over the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Well, you can't be expected to work when you're in mourning. I mean, that's just inhuman.

Michael Lopez, a production coordinator at Universal Music Enterprises, blasted the company as anti-gay for terminating a queer brown person, unquote, during Pride Month for speaking up in defensive abortion rights. Last Friday, he says, like countless other folks, I was devastated by the news of the Supreme Court's attack on abortion rights. Paired with the flood of anti-queer and anti-trans legislation. it's been hard to process how companies expect us to be productive while our rights are being stripped away. And yet they did expect him to be productive. What? Yeah. Productive.

What about his processing time? I know. That's a big thing these days. A lot of people take a long time to process things. Processing, mourning. All of those things need to occur. And yet the Universal Music Group said, no, we want you to work. He said, no, I'm in mourning.

So they fired him. They fired him. They expected him to work on a work day. Wow. So no wonder the fallout continues over that decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to take away women's rights, as we've seen many people claim, including we talked about Jessica Beale already. Also, Katie Perry, I believe. Thank God you brought this up. This is so sad.

You know, we live in a country where women have no rights. None. I don't know if you know that. None. A lot of people making this same point. You know, a lot of people made the point. Now guns have more rights than women in this country. Is that what I'm hearing?

It is what you're hearing. That doesn't mean it's true or real or significant in any way. It's just ridiculous nonsense. And Katie Perry went down that road a little bit. She said, Katie Perry said, Hey, she said,

something about, I guess a reference to one of her dumb songs about fireworks, which unfortunately she made, because now I have to hear it over and over again every July 4th. The word firework is in it. Quick, put it on our playlist. It's like,

all right, the song sucks. Can we all agree? The song sucks. It's her saying, life is like a firework. You and I definitely agree. Really?

Yes. That I'm surprised. Because I know you're a huge Katie Perry fan. Oh, big time. Got all her CDs and stuff. You do? Oh, yeah. All of them.

Every one of them. So she said, you know, something, some reference to her song, which I won't recount because it's too disturbing. I think that people liked it at some point. But she says something about a sparkler in it. She says, now women have less rights than a sparkler. Less rights than a sparkler. What is the right of a sparkler? I don't know.

At least the gun one tied into the news. Yeah. Like the gun one was like, okay, well, they did say that the Second Amendment agrees and then you have a right to carry a gun. So therefore, like, at least guns are a reference point here. Like, for her, like, I guess because everyone plays her dumb song once a year, she was thinking about the word sparkler and then said, women have less rights as sparkler. Now, here's something interesting about the United States of America, Pat. women can and do own sparklers.

Oh, that's a lie. That's not true. It's true. They own them. Now, the opposite, very few sparklers own women. That does almost never happens in this country. If you may have an incident here or there, I don't want to discount it completely. Okay.

But my understanding is very often, it's the other way around. It's the other way around. Women own the sparkler rather than the sparkler owning the woman. So I don't think that that's... You don't think it's accurate. That's accurate at all. At any way. And it's so weird because like, first of all, we know in this country, you can have abortion at any point during the pregnancy.

That is what the post-row world allows you to have an abortion in this country at any point in the pregnancy. That is the reality here. Okay. You may need to travel. There was a situation that happened in Ohio. And this is a big point on the... on the left. Yeah, this is what they're going to hammer home

because this happens all the time. 10-year-olds get pregnant all the time. It's super, super common. Now, look, this is a terrible. I don't know what the backstory is fully on it. But like, obviously a terrible incident. This 10-year-old got pregnant somehow, wanted to have an abortion.

And had to travel out of Ohio. And there's no such thing as, I don't know if people know this. And this may confuse the left who seemingly wants to drag sexual intercourse into every aspect of a 10 year old's life, but there is no such thing as consensual sex for a 10 year old. Okay?

Not a thing that occurs. It's not possible. Right. So we know that it was obviously bad things that led to this. And so this kid, you know, they want to get an abortion. Now look, this is obviously the most, the most extreme of extreme of extreme of extreme of extreme cases. And this is brought up over the weekend.

This shows like how crazy this is. Look at this. She can't get this abortion in Ohio. she has to go to Indiana. And this situation happens, it occurs in about 0.001% of cases for abortion. Yep. We just saw these stats last week. It's like 0.001% of the time.

It's incredibly rare. And of course, every single state that is banning quote unquote banning abortion has an exception for life of the mother. And almost all states have it for rape and incest. Most of them wind up doing. So most states would have been able to. to accommodate this 10-year-old. Right. But what had to happen was she had to go to Indiana to get this abortion. Now, take out the whole debate because it's like 9,000 miles away.

No, it's not that far. 47,000 miles away. No, it's not that far at all. Take out the whole debate on what the right outcome would be here for this, for this situation. It's obviously extreme and terrible and there's no reason to go into that at this moment. But my point here is... By the way, Indiana, another red state. Another red state.

So they go to another red, from one red state to another red state for her to get this abortion. But like my guess is as this little girl grows up, and I assume she was a girl, though obviously men can get pregnant. Obviously. I don't even know why you, why would you even bring that up? Well, I just wanted to make sure we were clear on it. We want to make sure we were clear. No matter what happens, my guess is as this little girl grows up and becomes a woman and tells us the story,

the most consequential part will not be the travel. That's right. You know, my guess is the road trip is going to take a very small part of that story. Like, it's going to be the terrible thing that led to the pregnancy. It may also be what happened with the abortion itself. I may affect her as well. Who knows what, I mean, you know, you can't even speak about how terrible the circumstance is here. But, like, the travel is really a small part of that story.

And yet it was the only thing, the only thing that the left wanted to talk about. about. And it's so bizarre. We talked about Jessica Beale as well, going overseas and being like, oh, I want to embrace these overseas laws. That would make things, that would make things much, much better. Well, do you know what these laws look like overseas? Because I don't think they do. Let me give you a few of them here. This is all from Europe. Our favorite, Liechtenstein, which everyone, I mean, how many times have you gotten there? I know you have a Lichtenstein? Yeah, I've got a summer place. Lichtenstein.

Yes, you've got, it's illegal, abortion, illegal, accepting rape cases where a woman is under 14 years old. So if you're 15 and you're raped, it's completely illegal. But if you're 14 or under and raped, it is legal. That's the only exception, completely illegal. In Malta, illegal in all cases. In all cases, they have no exceptions in Malta. Legal in all cases.

Wow. Okay, this is enlightened Europe. Now, I haven't got to the big, big name countries here. So this is where you're going to get the good liberal stuff, right? All right. Ireland. Now, Ireland, we know, has was famously had banned it until very recently. It was legal up to the, now it's legal up to the 12th week with exemptions for life and health risk to a woman or fetal abnormality.

In And Andorra, illegal in all cases. Samantha's mother and bewitched? Yes. She will not have a divorce. Why does she have her own laws? That's really weird. She's a witch. Obviously.

Yeah. Poland. Illegal. Accepting cases of rape, fetal malformation, or serious threat to a woman's health. Portugal. Legal up to 10th week of pregnancy after a mandated, mandated three-day waiting period. Imagine trying to implement that on women of the left. No way.

You have to wait three days. No way. Switzerland. Enlightened Switzerland. Legal up to the 12th week of pregnancy. If a woman files a written request that she is in a situation of distress, and doctors provide comprehensive information and recommended counseling on moral and material help and adoption. Jeez.

Can you imagine implementing that system on California right now? No. They would look at that as the Handmaid's Tale. Yeah. That's Switzerland. Italy, women has 90 days from the date of conception to request, request an abortion. The termination must be, must be, due to health, economic, social, or, family reasons. It's fairly broad. You can get one, but still 90 days. Finland, legal up to the

12th week of pregnancy, but only if a woman can provide a social reason such as poverty, extreme distress, or already having at least four children. So if you're the fifth kid, you're an auto distress to this family. And Pat, you have a 62 kids, so you would know how that works. In France, this is the country that she was actually talking about, legal up to the 12th week of pregnancy, later stage abortions are allowed if two physicians certified that the abortion will prevent grave permanent injury to physical or mental health life of the woman or the child if it will suffer from an incurable illness. That's where the croissants are for Jessica Beale.

Belgium, legal up to the 12th week of pregnancy with six days of counseling prior to abortion. Six days of count, imagine requiring counseling. Germany, legal up to 12th week of pregnancy. Exceptions made for serious. threat to mother's physical or mental health, first trimester abortions are subject to a mandatory three-day waiting period and counseling. These are all far stricter than U.S. laws were before Roe v. Wade being overturned. Yeah, and I remember going through this initially at the time, the most lenient states in

Russia or countries in Russia had laws roughly equal to, but a little bit more conservative than Utah. Utah. Wow. Denmark, legal after the 12th week. Exceptions made for a rape and threats to the health or life. Or if a woman can demonstrate the lack of financial resources to care for a child. Spain, legal up to the 14th week of pregnancy.

Sweden, 18th week of pregnancy. It's illegal after the 22nd week. Abortions are granted between 18 and 22 if approved by the National Board of Health and Welfare. Can you imagine requiring women to go through that here? Netherlands up to 21 weeks, legal up to the 24th week if medical reasons dictate. England up to the 24th week of pregnancy. But again, like these are all more restrictive than what our country was just a few weeks ago. Yeah.

Okay. Iowa, now it's just some of the states. Iowa was up to the 22nd week. South Carolina, the 20th week, Virginia, 25th week. D.C. All these, any time. liberal than the European. All of these more liberal. So I mean, you go

through that list and you say, wow, Europe had much more conservative rules on abortion than America had. And they all came out and spoke against us. Even though this country will still have laws far more liberal. You'll just have

to move a little bit for them. And like that is, I can understand, people are like, well, some women don't have the money to do that. Well, there's plenty of these charities that are going to step up and pay for it. I mean, the companies are doing it. If you work at a lot of these companies, but there's absolutely tons of charitable organizations that will do it. And you can get this stuff mailed to you from India, pharmacies in India very cheaply. It's, you know, it's sad.

I mean, I think that's a tragedy. But like to act as if this is some major change in our country, it really, it isn't if you want to get an abortion. It's a great step for people of the pro-life cause because now it at least allows us to have the argument. Before they acted as if this was some constitutional right you couldn't argue with, which was nonsolns. sense. At least that's out of the way. AAA 727. B-E-C-K. More coming up.

Joey Chestnut at the hot dog eating contest at Nathan's again yesterday for the 4th of July, which they do every year, and he wins it every year. Well, he's won 15 out of the last 16. Remember there was like a rivalry at some point? He just put that. Put that away.

Yeah, I mean, it's completely not a rivalry anymore. He wins by, you know, 15, 20 hot dogs every year. The guy's a world-class eater. He just is. Oh, yeah. And so he got attacked during the competition yesterday. I think we have the video. Check this out.

He comes up to him and either hits him or bumps into him somehow. And then chestnut just takes him in a headlock and throws him to the ground and starts eating again. And what did the sign say that he was holding up? Do you know? It was something about how animals were treated at some plant. It was, you know, some environmental thing. So he just ignored it and went back to eating. And he won the competition, put down 63 hot dogs. That's amazing.

I think it messed him up a little bit because last year it was 70. I think 76. Hot dogs he put he ate during the competition. So he didn't quite get there. But he still won by a lot. A lot. Like 16. I think he won by 16.

hot dogs. There are those stories of like parents whose kid is trapped under a car and they lift up the car to save the kid. That is less fascinating to me than how you can eat 63 hot dogs in 20 minutes. I don't know. 10 minutes, whatever it is. I think it's 10. Yeah. How? I can't even comprehend. It's so gross what he does to do it. I can't. I can't watch it. There's something about a wet roll that I can't out like that. No. No. I don't know why. It's a texture. It's the texture. It's the texture it's not good it's a texter thing not good at all let me talk to you a little bit about rough greens now i love my dog i we have we have uh three it seems like we have an entire house of animals but we have three dogs uh if you love yours as well we have that in common and i will uh argue that

when it comes to your dog you'll pretty much do whatever it takes like you just want to give them the best life possible you love them they love you unconditionally which is kind of nice everyone else in your life that jeez you know they they come and they go right pat they come And they go. But when it comes to your animals, like every time you come home, they're happy to see you. Which is kind of, it really is cool. I think that's one of the main reasons we love our dogs so much. It's selfish. Unconditional love. It is. Yeah. This freaking love you. Now, when you, let's talk about how you can contribute to their overall health and happiness. A few years ago, we talked about rough greens that I have a dog, President Miles. At this point, he is, you know, he's giving Joe Biden a run for his money as far as age goes. And honestly, intelligence. I mean, Miles is clearly smarter, but that's a whole other story.

He loves his rough greens. Piper, who's like, seven or eight, loves her rough greens. Even Ivy, who is our youngest one is now six months old, something like that. Loves the rough greens. Everybody does. Every dog loves their rough greens, and they get all the vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, and antioxidants, all the things that they need. Check it out. You sprinkle it on top of your dog food.

apparently preparing himself to run for president of the United States. He's, of course, governor of California right now. And it looks like he's got some ambition to maybe be the president. You know, and up until this point, we asked many times, like, who do they have? Their benches so bad. They've got nobody. What are they? Going back to Hillary, Al Gore, Richard Gephardt, maybe,

Richard Gephard can be their nominee. Still? It's still Richard Gephard. It's still Richard Gepard. Probably their best guy on their bench. But, you know, if you're not going to run the president, the incumbent, if he's not going to run, Kamala Harris is not really appetizing to Democrats, I don't think, but Gavin Newsom maybe, it might be, he might be the one that they turn to. Anyway, he's starting to run ads in other states. including Florida.

Here's what he ran in Florida. It's independent state. So let's talk about what's going on in America. Freedom, it's under attack in your state. Your Republican leaders, they're banning books, making it harder to vote. Restricting speech and classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.

Criminalizing women in Florida? What the hell is I like? It's a lie. Or join us in California. But we still believe in freedom. Freedom of speech. Freedom to choose. Freedom from hate and the freedom to love.

Don't let them take your freedom. Tate for by Newsom. I can't take it. This is fascinating. As a tactic. Now, Gavin Newsom is terrible. Yeah. He's been a terrible governor for the state of California.

And it's done an awful job there. And what's fascinating about it is he, you know, this is a, he's not good at really, I don't think he's good at anything. I guess he's good at, you know, sleeping with his friend's wives. Other than that, I don't know what he's good at. He's famously disobeying his own orders during a pandemic. Yeah, he's good at that. He is good at that.

Yeah, he's good at that. He's good at that. He's good at that. He's good at some good restaurant reservations when no one else is allowed to have them. He's able to do that. But banning books. What the, what books did they ban in Florida? They didn't ban any books.

They made it so that you couldn't discuss alternative sex or any sex. Or any sex. Or any sex, for that matter. To first graders. In first grade, in first grade, through third, I think it was. Yeah, kindergarten through third, I think it was. Jeez, come on. I mean, it's so ridiculous. Banning books,

restricting speech, making it harder to vote, really? No, they're not. Let's go to Delaware and find out how hard it is to vote where they don't even have early voting. They don't even have it. You can vote on one day. One. So. So ridiculous. And then criminalizing women and doctors. Nobody is talking about criminalizing women. No one. Well, wait a minute. I am talking about it. I am talking about it, Pat.

I'm going to be honest with you. I am talking about criminalizing women. When women commit crimes, they're criminals. What do you mean criminalized? They're not criminalized because they're women. They're criminalized because they commit crimes. That's supposedly an abortion. He's trying to refer to abortion.

And as you point out, Pat, there's really, there was a big article in the New York Times this weekend about the four people who are pushing for, you know, locking away women. Yeah, locking away women who want to have abortions. Are there four? I don't know. That's what they claimed. That seems like too many. Look, you know, I guess, and it's true, it's been like, because Roe versus Wade was this big barrier, right?

This big, this big thousand foot wall that essentially, while we could have these conversations about the nuances of abortion policy, you weren't able to implement any of it. So it was kind of a non-starter. Now that wall's gone. And so now the pro-life movement, which has always had many, many shades, people who were very, very restrictive, people who are just like, hey, we need to limit it at 15 weeks, whatever. Like, the pro-life movement has always encompassed a really wide variety of people and opinions on that side of the argument.

Well, you're going to see some, I think, separation there. They're going to see some people who are really restrictive and some people who are, I think that's going to have to shake itself out in the movement. It's why you have different states and different laws. Again, I don't think that's the, this particular issue is a good application of our federalism and our tradition of federalism in that I think protecting life is more important than that

and I do believe it should be I believe and would support and think Republicans should pursue a constitutional amendment outlawing abortion. I mean they're not going to get it through but that doesn't make difference to me should be proposed every single year every single year keep proposing it until somebody does

something about it. But that being said you know you have a a situation here where someone like Gavin Newsom is going to try to present this information. Like, it's some terrible thing that's going on in Florida when half of his residents moved there. Yeah. You know, like the state is emptied out to go to Florida and Texas and other places. Last year alone, they lost a net. 367,000 people to Florida, to Idaho, to Texas.

And the person who should be most excited about that is Gavin Newsomis. because those people weren't there to vote against him in his recall. Right. Right? Like if those people had stayed, he might not be in office. Yeah. So, and it's fascinating what has happened with Gavin Newsom because of the recall, which is a typical dumb tactic by the media.

And a lot of people are falling for it, which is like, basically like, they are saying Gavin Newsom's strong. He won his recall election easily. Mm-hmm. Is it all that impressive guys that a dude? Democrat in California could survive a recall by what is essentially eight percentage points. I think he won 58, 42, if I'm remembering, right, it was somewhere around there. And they're like, well, I won by 16 points.

Yeah, but if eight, there's only two ways to go. So if eight percent of the people change their mind, it would have been tied or, you know, it would have maybe tipped over to the recall side. Now, we know the dynamics of that election and that, like Larry Elders, guy that we like, He's a good conservative. Not exactly the flavor of Republican that would necessarily win a statewide election easily. Arnold Schwarzenegger is, a guy who's essentially a Democrat. Right.

And look, I think those guys suck. Yeah. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger sucks. But he still, like, that's the type of candidate that may have been able to win there. Well, when he says, screw your freedom. Yeah. That sucks. That's Gavin Newsom.

That's a guy who sucks. Yeah, that guy sucks. But like, is it all that impressive? No. Like you shouldn't, the fact that they were able to come up with the, with the amount of energy against Gavin Newsom to get the recall done in the first place. It's only the second time in recent history it's happened. Then you have a situation where he was pretty amazing to start with. Then he was pushed to the brink by Larry Elder.

Right. Who, again, is a guy I like, but it's a talk show host. Right. And he's, you know, and has never served in electric elected office and is also very conservative, something that I, I think would be a real great thing for California, but the California voter typically does not agree with. And remember, just a few weeks before this election, it looked as if Larry Elder really had a chance to win.

Like, it was very close. Polls were showing it only a couple points. Now, he extended that lead by a couple points. He did what he had to do in a bad situation. You can give him that. But, like, it's not like this was some great achievement here. No. Yeah, he won in California, a state that had already voted for him.

he was able to hold on to the election and not get removed from office. It's like saying like, oh, Donald Trump survived that impeachment vote. That's a great, you know, like that shows he's super strong. Well, I mean, it shows he did what he had to do against the impeachment vote. But like none of the media was saying, oh, this shows the strength of Donald Trump.

Like, that's not what happens. And what's great in California is they have the freedom to pay $7 a gallon for gasoline. and about a million dollars for a thousand square feet of home space. You know, I got a 1,200 square foot home, and I have the freedom to pay one and a half million dollars for that. I mean, it's outrageous what's happening in California. You can't afford to live there. If you're any kind of, if you have any sort of normal salary,

you're making $50,000 or $60,000, there's no way you can buy a home in California. Yeah. You can maybe get a shack. You can maybe rent a shed, but you're not going to buy a home when you're making $50,000 in California. No. That's not, I mean, I remember there was a time, I don't remember, this is a while ago, but it was, if you were making the minimum salary as a player for the San Francisco Giants, you couldn't afford the average home. I remember that. And I don't know.

In San Francisco. Yeah, in San Francisco. Yeah, too expensive. Too expensive. To afford the, you would not qualify for a mortgage. Wasn't it a $700,000 or $800,000 salary they were talking about? Yeah, maybe at the time it was $600,000, something like that for a minimum. It's incredible.

And we should also point out that Gavin Newsom, when he was mayor of San Francisco, I referenced it briefly here, but it's important to remember how crazy this was. He slept with like his best friend's wife. Oh, that's right. It wasn't like just some affair. It was like his best friend's wife. who he hired under him as a staffer. That's right.

And then slept with the staffer. He's a douchebag. Oh, he's a terrible human being in so many ways. And this is probably the smallest of them. Who am I to judge? I'm just saying he's going to burn in the fires of hell. Yeah, you're not judging. I'm not judging.

You're just saying one little thing about his future. Yeah, just one thing. He's going to burn in the fires of him. Exactly. But like, what happened to the Me Too movement here? Yeah. You know, she has come out and said, well, it's not really Me Too. I was 33 years old.

I knew what I was doing. And like that's an acceptable thing for a Republican to say, right? Like a Republican, the Republican side of the argument is, you know, women actually have agency and can make decisions of their own. Yeah, but Democrats have that power dynamic thing.

Yeah. That's what they say. Yeah. They say like when, you know, a celebrity sleeps with some underling, they say it can't be consensual because. The power dynamic.

There's a power dynamic there. I remember they said that with Louis C.K. When he had his situation going on. Well, he was so powerful. You couldn't. This is legitimate. Their argument. Right.

You couldn't. This was their argument. Like, there was some comedian that came out and said, like, you know, his thing was, I don't want to get into the details here. But his thing was basically, uh, pleasuring himself while, when others watched. Right. Yeah. Again, I don't know.

And I think he asked for permission. And he asked for permission. And they said yes. They didn't leave. Right. They said, oh, yeah, sure. Which they could have left. Which they could have left.

Except for the power dynamic. Right. So they said yes and they sat there and endured this spectacle. Yeah. And the reason why it was a Me Too violation was because he was a powerful comedian and I guess would control their comedy careers if they didn't say yes, which is complete nonsense. And wasn't one of them on the phone? There was one of those cases. It was on the phone.

There's one of cases. Hang up. Yes. Where the Me Too complaint against Louis. K was that he was on the phone with her with a woman. Yeah. And she believed that he was, uh, touching himself while they were on the phone. He didn't say he was or, or like, like, I don't know.

Hey, you mind if I, I don't know how to explain this. I don't think he said. I don't think he did. No, he didn't. No, he, if he was doing it, which we don't know if he was and she didn't know, but she see, I guess it sounded like he was. Just again, I don't want to think about the details. The point being here that their entire complaint for eradicating this guy's career was the power dynamic.

Yeah. Okay. Now, Gavin Newsom, who is the mayor of San Francisco, he takes a direct staffer and sleeps with her, which also happens to be her best friend's wife. Was this his best friend's wife, excuse me. Kimberly Guilfoyle? Was he married to her at the time? No. No.

This was, I mean, you know, I don't remember. I think he was married at the time, too. I don't remember. I don't remember. He was at one point married to Fox, well, former Fox anchor, Kimberly Gilfoyle. Okay. Which is, again, strange. People tell me that he's a very good-looking man.

Yeah. And, you know, he looks to me like American Psycho. And I guess he was a good-looking guy in that movie. He did murder a bunch of people, too. But part of the charm. What, are you perfect? Are you perfect, Stu? You know, I'm not.

I've made my sheriff mistakes. Okay. Well, then. Now, none of them happened to be, you know, putting tarps down in my apartment and brutally slaughtering people while listening to Hughie Lewis and the news. Really? You haven't done that? That wasn't my particular mistake, but we all have our struggles.

That's right. Exactly what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. And Gavin Newsom has his that may or may not be the same as the character in American Psycho. We don't know. We don't know. We're not with him at all times. I wouldn't have predicted he'd sleep with his best friend's wife.

I wouldn't either. I would not either. I would now. I certainly wouldn't bring my wife around him now. Right. But back then, it would be probably surprising. Probably was surprising to his best friend. Who's, by the way, I don't know if I mentioned, he slept with his best friend's wife.

And who was a direct staffer of his. But we should overlook that. Yeah. Because of the great job he did on COVID, question mark. Well, look, it doesn't have anything to do with the presidency. It doesn't mean he can't be a good president. That's right. It's personal.

All right. It's his personal life. Actually, the eating out in the middle of the COVID restrictions, not really is personal life. No. No. But the girlfriend thing. Yeah. That's personal.

AAA 727. Back. American financing NMLS 1-82334. www. www. nmls. Consumer access.org. A new report shows that almost 71% of Americans feel their paychecks are not going to be able to keep up with inflation, not just to be able to get ahead, but to just keep up. We all know where this is coming from, the people supposed to be able to be able to

supposedly fighting inflation or the same ones giving it to us in the first place. You have a responsibility to yourself and your family to do what you can to get ahead while it's still possible to get ahead. It's where American financing comes in.

Pat and Stufer Glenn, AAA 727 B-E-C-K, it is confirmed. At the time Gavin Newsom slept with his best friend's wife, he was in fact married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. Yes, although it does seem like they were separated

when it happened? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so they were separate when it happened, but I think the affair was happening. Don't worry about it. No, I think the affair was happening before they were separated. So I just think that they found out about it. Was it maybe what caused the separation? Possibly.

Possibly. And now she's with Donald Trump Jr. Is that right? Is that weird? I mean, from one extreme to the other. Yeah. I mean, as far as ideological, you know, significant others. Because she seems to be, she was not like one of their straight news people, right?

No, she seems to be conservative. Very conservative. And like, you know, look, you can overcome a. certain amount of political difference in a marriage. But that's pushing it. Not that much. Yeah. No.

It'd be really tough. Unless you just, I don't know. If you don't talk about it. Otherwise, you'd be at odds all the time. Wouldn't you? Especially in this environment when, you know, so many things are coming up and that's what people talk about around the dinner table. You certainly talk about it when you gather on the 4th of July.

I talked about those kinds of things yesterday. That would make me crazy. Yeah. My wife was super liberal. And I've been seeing, you know, friends and relatives and everybody, you know, I've obviously friends and relatives that are very left winged, not so appreciative of the Roe versus Wade situation, maybe as I was. And you see them getting in brawls, man. Like, and I just stay out of it. Like, I don't, I do this for a living.

Last thing I want to come home and, like, post. I know, right. A post on Facebook. I just don't feel like it. I understand why people get into that stuff. I do though at some point you have to recognize the

the just lack of ability that you're going to have and changing someone's mind that's crazy right like some people are just nuts and they just they're going and it might be

they might be completely sane in every other aspect of their life and wonderful people but they have this thing that they're hung up on and they're never going to listen to your opinion and you have to be able

to leave that behind to maintain a relationship with a loved one if they're truly a loved one, right? If you really love your brother, your sister, your cousin, your aunt, your uncle, your friends, you know, you figure out a way to say,

okay, they're nuts on that and you throw up your hands and you just move on with your life. Their support of abortion or opposition to abortion is not going to change the actual situation as it relates to abortion. It's just, I think it's hard for people to let go up because if you believe

it's life, it's like, Gosh, man, this is really important. How can you not see this as life? It's like that Louis C.K. routine about abortion. That we played last week. Yeah. If you really believe it's life, what are you going to say? Well, okay, never mind.

Go ahead and kill a baby. I always think the really truly inconsistent position is the one we're like, yeah, at four months, eight days, three hours and nine seconds, it's not a baby, but 10 seconds it is. Then, like, I feel like that. The middle ground is actually the more insane position when it comes to. Definitely. Isn't it?

It's where everybody is. It's where everybody is. The middle ground is the one that seems very strange to me. The Glenn Back Program.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week. Join me on Pat Gray Unleashed live immediately before this.

broadcast. It's a 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 central. Then Stu has a show in primetime. Stu does America. That's true. I do it every single night. Every night. Against its will. Wow. It was really sad. And it's kind of rude. Yeah. It is really rude. So yeah, that's on 8.m. Eastern on Blaze TV. You can subscribe to both podcasts as well. Also, Pat, we have our 500th anniversary power hour coming up on Friday. which is, if you've never seen one of these things before, some of the biggest shows that we've done on YouTube, basically the idea is we have a panel,

we attempt to talk about issues. It goes awry as we have one shot of beer per minute for an hour. So it starts off somewhat coherent and then turns into chaos. So your 500th episode is Thursday? Is that what your son? We announced the 5, we announced the power hour on the 500th episode. So that was a few weeks ago. Okay.

So we are a little bit past that now. But we do, would love you to check it out. YouTube.com slash Stu Does America. Subscribe there and we'll, it's, it's going to be fun.

We have Chad Prather on. Alex Stein is joining us. Andrew Heaton's going to be on with us. Sarah Gonzalez is going to be on with us. My invitation to the show must have been lost. I would love for you to come in the mail. You are always welcome. No,

but I, we do have a designated driver slot. Oh. Okay. Because we'd like to have one sober person on the panel. Probably. We'd love to. have you some time for one of those because it would be

absolutely hilarious. It is a drinking fest, right? It is a drinking fest. But it's nonsensical and it is quite a bit of fun, even though it usually does go horribly awry by the end. Well, that's the fun of it. That's the fun, I suppose. All right, we were talking about the situation with the overturning of Roe v. Wade and how that's just really affecting our country right now. And it is

such, it's probably, to me, it's the most contentious issue in America since slavery, probably. Would you think that's accurate? I can't think of a more contentious issue. That's a good question. Is it the most? It's probably up there. I mean, you know, you think of like guns, but I don't think that's not, I mean, you look at

the statistics on gun polling. It's not really all that. It's not nearly as divided as you'd think. Yeah, I think that's probably a good, good one. It's so contentious. Vice President Kamala Harris just likened the end of Rovi Wade to slavery by saying that the Supreme Court's ruling was an example of the United States government trying to claim ownership over human bodies. Hmm. Okay.

That's fascinating. Isn't it? I mean, it's similar to the Emancipation Proclamation. Yes. If that is true. Because I do think there are real parallels here. Don't think she was going for that exactly. No.

I don't think that's what she was going for, but that is, I think, really realistic parallel. It's the type of thing that a society looks back at in horror and says, how did we allow this to happen? 63 million, and by the way, it's going to go up by millions and millions and millions from that number, but 63 million babies lost? Yeah. How can we possibly have allowed this? Future generations will not look favorably on us for allowing that for so long. Just like we look back at slavery as a horror show. Right.

We all look back at it as terrible. And there were people, Democrats especially, very pissed off about that ruling as well. And argued about it for a very long time. You know, this is, this first of all shows the real central failure of Roe and Casey. Because both of them basically bragged about their power to end the debate. It's a contentious issue. We will provide this solution. and therefore it won't be contentious anymore.

That was essentially the thesis of both Roe and Casey. Didn't really work. Not failed miserably. Which is one of the things that even Ruth Bader Ginsburg talked about is it was just bad law. Yeah, it was bad law. Like even if she was, if she was alive to vote on it, you know she would have voted to uphold. She was very reliable. But still, she did not think that was good law.

No one does. I mean, anybody in that field. like it's a different thing you know there's this idea that the left well they see the constitution they see the Supreme Court what they see rights are things that they want right like we've talked about the right to internet

right to internet what are you talking about there's no right to internet where was that right at any point before 1990 right like all that right didn't exist if you created it after 1990 fine but you have to actually put it in the

constitution right you don't just It doesn't just magically appear. Which could happen, by the way. It's not in the Constitution, but you could put it in the Constitution with the 28th Amendment. But they won't go through that process because they know it wouldn't, it never happened. Yeah. And you know, honestly, I bet you it's not incomprehensible. It could happen if people wanted it to.

I wouldn't, I would guess the polling on something like that would not even be bad. I bet you they could get positive polling on that on that question. Depending on the parameters. Yeah. Should the internet, a constitutional amendment? to make internet available to everybody, I bet would be something that people would like. Because that's how people, most people think.

Is it something that I want? Is it great? Is it wonderful? Do I like it? Yes. If yes, then Constitution. Right. Then it's my right.

Health care, I really like it. I really want it. It's my right. Therefore, I shall have it. It's in the Constitution. I swear. And of course, we've had people argue for a constitutional right. essentially to high-speed internet.

We've had that in the past. My name is Rhonda Locklear. I'm from Pembroke. How do you have access to those? And I'm a member of the Lombie tribe of North Carolina. Sure. Yes. Okay.

I have two children. Two children. And like any mother, I want the best for my boys. Of course, you want the best for you. Jacob, my oldest, is a transferring student to UNC Pembroke. Okay. And Isaac is in the eighth grade at Pembroke Middle School. Wow.

All right. Thank you for this up. Like most families. Right. Who. across the state who either don't have access to high-speed internet couldn't afford it or who can't afford it sure we were stuck with dial-up service in our home don't say that until two months ago oh my goodness now this is how long how old is this clip

nine years and two months ago no it's actually 13 years and two months ago I mean we've played this clip so many times how do you still have it in your machine this is incredible that you have access to this at a finger at the press of a button yes uh because it's It's so good. And this is a clip from the Lumby tribe. Yeah. Was it North Carolina? Yes.

She's testifying before somebody. Like any moother. Like any moother. I think it's the legislature in North Carolina. She really wants access to internet bad. Well, she has it. And she got it two months ago. But she.

Well, she didn't have. Well, she had dial up before that. So she had internet the whole time. But she did have high speed until two months ago. Yes. She's very upset about this and wants the government to pay for her internet. Exactly. I feel that this has put my family, my sons in particular, at a severe disadvantage.

Oh, it has. Isaac depends on the Internet to complete his assignments for school. Right, yeah. He often uses the Internet to work on reports, projects, or often at times to just do research. Like, you know, on porn. I watch him struggle with the dial-up service and observed him get frustrated. Oh, no, no. Because he could not move around on the web like he likes.

Lacky Lacks. You hate to see that. He could not move around on the web like he likes. See, that's Constitution. Yeah. That means it's in the Constitution. If you want it something like that, it's in the custom. And you want it really bad.

Yeah. And you can't afford it. Well, of course. It's in the Constitution that you can have it. And need it to do. Seemingly easy assignments took him hours to complete. Oh, no. How stupid is this kid?

No, I don't do that. That's what she's saying. Oh, she's not. The Internet is bad, so you can't. It's very disheartened to watch. Isaac got very upset, discouraged, and frustrated. Frustra. Because he could not do what he needed to do.

Or what he lacked to do. As a mother, it breaks my heart and causes me to feel that I have failed him in some way. You had. Until two months ago, she had failed him. Miserably. Yeah. Not by a little bit, but miserably. failed him. Yes. Now, they, to be clear, they had internet.

Yeah. It was a slower internet than they preferred. And now they have the faster internet. Yeah. But she's, she's arguing on behalf for others to get it, I think. And by the way, of course, they got it. Of course it worked. They got $20 million in federal money. Of course. To get high speed internet for the likes. Like the Lox. Yeah. Which is fascinating. And so I do, could you come up with an, uh, a constitutional amendment for internet access? I bet you could. Yes, you probably could.

I bet you could. Now, that constitutional amendment will not mean that you get to keep your accounts. No. Obviously, they could still ban you from, that might be why Democrats would oppose it. If it was a constitutional right for you access to the internet, they might oppose it. But again, the constitution can be amended. It's okay. You can try to do it.

We should try to do it more often. Is it hard? Most of them would fail, and they should fail. And it is hard. Yep. Because it's supposed to be hard. It is supposed to be a difficult process because the founders knew that they'd done a pretty good job, I think. And they didn't want people just willy-nilly changing the Constitution on a whim.

It had to be something that people agreed on, had to be something that you were passionate about, be logical, and enough states decided that, you know, this new amendment was the right thing to do that they got it passed through. Yeah. That's not easy. The story of the 27th Amendment is one of my favorite stories of all time, which is it was an amendment that was around at the time of the founders. And it's an amendment to basically limit congressional pay. So they can't vote themselves. All right.

If they vote for themselves, if they say, hey, Congress should make a million dollars a year. They have to go through an election before that kicks in. So they can't vote themselves a huge increase. Right. They have to be at least in front of the voters to vote them out if they get angry about that pay raise. So it was around at the time of the founders. It kind of got halfway through the process of ratification and then sort of died on the vine.

But it had no expiration date and sort of just sat around. And some college student, I think it was in Texas, started looking around and noticed it and had to write his thesis and wrote some like thesis about, hey, like there's this constitutional amendment. This would be cool to do. Started like trying to revive it. Got it all the way to these states. They finished the ratification process.

and it became an amendment in the 1990s. Incredible. I mean, it's a fascinating story of just some guy who was doing some research and actually amended the Constitution as a result of it. Really amazing. Really cool. But like, it can happen. You know, like the left obviously just wants to get rid of guns.

And they obviously want to raise money off of this. They want power. They want all these things to happen. We know their motivations are not pure. But if their motivations really were to get rid of automatic weapons, which they seem to think are on every street corner, they could go for a constitutional amendment just for that. No automatic weapons, basically, in the United States.

Now, we treat, this country is treating the second amendment as if it prohibits the automatic weapons, which, by the way, it does not. You can, you first of all can get an automatic weapon in this country. It's very difficult to do so. Secondarily, there's a lot of constitutional gymnastics that went into a lot of allowing those weapons to be banned the way they are in the first place. Right. But in theory, you could go and get that done.

I mean, certainly it would be supported by the American people. I mean, look, a lot of people in this audience would disagree with it. But like, what's the polling on no automatic weapons? 90%. It's probably, and it probably is a real 90% with automatic weapons, unlike, you know, their universal background check polling. You know, and so maybe they can, they can try that. Try it.

Be honest about your motivations. Their motivations clearly are to get rid of weapons overall. And when you reverse engineer their goals, you can see how they keep getting to the way they cover these crimes. They don't care about inner city crime. They don't care. They don't care about gun violence. That's why they never talk about it. Yeah.

Yeah, we've started a new segment on Studios America called today the president hit a new low in his approval rating. That's not the official title, but I feel like I do the segment every week. Yeah. And it's pretty much true. Monmouth poll out now, 36% approval rating for Joe Biden. Oh, wow.

58% disapproval. This is down from, uh, he went so he went 38 to 36 in the last month. He started up in the mid-50s back in the, the day and has dropped pretty much every month consistently since he got into office. He now has the lowest average approval rating, according to 538 of any president ever measured at this point in his presidency. Listen to this right track, wrong track for you. January 2021 comes in, comes into office, 42% right direction.

Okay. I mean, you know, we still kind of low. We tend to be a little frustrated about things. January 2021, a lot was going on in that month. Yeah. We're in COVID situation. And, okay. You know, it's around the mid-40s into April.

And then June 2021 is 37%. Ticks up to 38, down to 29% in September, right around 30 in December, 24% in January, 2022. 24% March, 22. May 22, 18%. June 22? 10. 10% right track.

88%. percent wrong track. I've never seen numbers that bad. And 2% saying, I don't know. Yeah, 2% say, Like Jeffrey. I don't know.

1% says, I don't know. 1% says, it depends on what? I don't know. It depends. It always depends, right? I mean, it depends.

It's got to depend on something. But 1%. 10% to 88. 10% right track. And only 74% of Democrats approve of this president's performance. That might be an even more stunning number. I bet people notice that on their July 4th gatherings

because it's not, you know, a lot of Democrats are expressing their disapproval for the president and saying stuff like, you know, it seems like they're not quite all there. You know, they're noticing that cognitive area, but it's policy as well. This is a disaster. This is.
