Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Glenn Beck. Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. He's on vacation this week. Be back with you on Monday. So. Oh yeah, Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Because Monday is, wow, it's Memorial Day weekend. It is Memorial Day weekend. That just, I just caused a little spark of happiness. Racing through my entire body. Good. Yeah, that's nice. It's nice. Good reminder there, Jeffie. The NFL has banned sort of kneeling, but they didn't make it a 15-yard penalty, which I thought was an interesting idea.
Starting point is 00:00:44 And that's something that would be enforced. I did originally, but I don't know that you find, my original thought was the 15-yard penalty, that's a good idea. But then if they came out out of the field, right, and everybody is standing and then 10 players kneel down. Is it one penalty? to 10 penalties? Are they starting the drive in the parking lot? I mean, I don't know what. 15 yards for every player who kneels.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I will say this, though, if they did something like that that would make it really enforced because no team is going to want to start the game with penalties. I know. Nobody's going to be okay with that. You know, you get one 15-yard penalty and a fine. It would have made it serious. Whereas now,
Starting point is 00:01:30 Oh, it was... It's like, okay, if you break the rules, we're going to give you a little fine. New York Jets owners already said he'll pay the fines for his players if they want to kneel. And the 49ers owners voted against it. I'll go back and talk to my players.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I want to work on social justice, though. What? I don't want to hear the phrase social justice anymore. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear the word fairness, and I don't want to hear the phrase social justice. I mean, that was Rogers' line, right? when they talk to them about continuing our collaboration with players
Starting point is 00:02:02 to advance the goals of justice and fairness in all corners of our society. Thank you, Roger. You know what? That's not what the NFL is for. I don't think so either. It's just not what the NFL is for. Don't talk to us about social justice and fairness and equality and all that stuff. The NFL is the last organization on earth to talk about fairness and equality.
Starting point is 00:02:27 when you have 75% of your players that are a certain ethnicity, how's that fair? Not in the social justice world, it isn't. No, it is not. There should be a proportional amount of whites, of blacks, of Hispanics, of Asians, where are all the Asian players? How many Native Americans do you have on your teams?
Starting point is 00:02:52 You know? In every other aspect of life, we're not worried about merit. we're worried about fairness and equality and equaling the playing field. Why aren't you doing that? Don't start talking to me about social justice. A bunch of hypocrites. Absolutely. I don't know that they've gone far enough for me to completely stop watching it.
Starting point is 00:03:17 That's the hard thing. Because are we going to stop watching it? No, I'm not going to. I mean, although I don't watch much NFL. to begin with. Every once in a while, I'll see a game on Monday night or whatever. But I, you know, my big thing is college and I think yours too. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:36 So it wouldn't be impossible not to give up the NFL. But I like it. I do too. You know, who doesn't enjoy? And one of the things about the NFL is you wait for it all year long to help you combat the insanity of the rest of the year. Yes, have a getaway, a refuge, a day of, I've just, going to watch football. Yeah, it's
Starting point is 00:03:59 where you don't have to think about all this stuff. And then even there, they start throwing it in your face. Why? And they won't do anything about it. I still am just amazed that they can't and didn't say from the very beginning, you are an employee. You do
Starting point is 00:04:17 what we say within the framework of this job. If you don't want to, fine. Go find another job. And good luck finding one. that pays you $15 million a year. Well, good luck. Good luck with that.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I know. And good luck with a job that will give you a platform outside of the framework where people know you and you're able to promote your ideas. Yeah, the whole thing is silly. Just let people watch the NFL on the weekend and relax and enjoy something that's not beating us down with what we hear every single day of the week. we just we don't want that I don't want to be beaten down with social justice
Starting point is 00:04:59 equality and fairness during an NFL football game that's not why I'm tuning in and for the players that's not why you're playing you're there on that team to play football right well this has provided me a forum
Starting point is 00:05:14 go use your forum outside the football field yeah you've you've you've been provided this forum on a large scale for the last how many every years you played in the NFL, and then whatever you played in, most of them have played in Division I college football, which is a huge platform. So you've been given this platform. Like I said,
Starting point is 00:05:37 a couple minutes ago, use that platform outside of the framework of the game to do whatever you want to do. But Roger Goodell and the NFL management didn't nip this in the bud. No, they did from the beginning. And so they allowed it to fester and become this gigantic thing. Whereas if at the beginning of the year, they would have said, look, we don't want to offend, we don't want to offend half of our customer base. More than half of our fan base. Yes. This is a business, a $10 billion a year business.
Starting point is 00:06:11 You will not kneel during the National Anthem. Period. End of story. And if you do kneel, okay, you're going to be fired. This is a business. You know, this is not the U.S. government forcing you. to do something. This is a private business with customer concerns,
Starting point is 00:06:31 and we're trying to make money here. That's what we do. We're trying to make money for everyone involved. Especially you guys. So, you know, they could have taken care of it in the beginning. They sure could have. And Roger tiptoed around it. This is where we're at.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yep. And all of this nonsense that, oh, it's not about the national anthem. It's not about the military. It's not about patriotism to America. Tell that to Colin Kampernick who started this thing Because according to him On every occasion he's been asked about it It is about the anthem
Starting point is 00:07:05 Yes And I'm tired of hearing that Colin doesn't You know nobody has afforded him an opportunity to play football They have And part of the deal was Is that he wouldn't kneel Come and try out But if you make the team you can't kneel
Starting point is 00:07:21 Wasn't acceptable to him No okay No, yeah. Great, no problem. Right. Stop complaining that you can't get a job then. And yet we continue to hear that it's NFL football team's fault that he's not playing. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's not. It's not their fault. And even if he is talented enough, he'd make a good backup, even if that's true. And I'm not convinced it is. But let's say it is. Let's say he's the greatest backup in the quarterback in the NFL. And if he started, he could take you to the Super Bowl. like Foles did last year for the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Well, there's still the problem of bringing all of that controversy. Right. To the locker room. To the locker room, to your football team and to the fan base who's going to hate it. And it's going to hurt your bottom line. So in the interest of your business, you decide it's not worth it. Even though he's a good quarterback, it's not worth it. And I'm not going to hire him.
Starting point is 00:08:18 How does that not make sense to all these players in the NFL? I don't get it. I don't know. And all these sportscasters, sports. casters are all going crazy over too. When they, when they suggested the 15-yard penalty, they all went nuts because they're all progressives.
Starting point is 00:08:32 All these sportscasters on ESPN and Fox Sports and Sports Illustrated, they're all progressives. And those guys all want the interviews, right? They want to be able to go to the locker room and they want to be able to talk to Colin. Yeah. Yep. So as it is,
Starting point is 00:08:50 what is probably going to happen is that the NFL Players Association will just stop this. Yes. And we'll have the kneeling thing again. And it'll probably be bigger than it's ever been. It's really too bad because, you know, I love football. I like the NFL.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Like watching the games. I love the Green Bay Packers. Just don't ram it down by through. I just don't give us a place of refuge. It's interesting to me that they don't understand that. It is. It is interesting that they, that. Hard to believe.
Starting point is 00:09:24 They haven't been at least shown a path of look. When you guys play the game, we have this many viewers. We sell this many shirts. We sell this much at the stadiums. This is what we make. You know, rough draft. This doesn't have to be exact with just rough drafts. When you kneel, we only sell this much.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Now, the difference is what we're going to be paying you. Plus, you have the evidence last year of the decrease in ratings, which we don't know if you can attreact. all to that. No, I mean, they've spread themselves thin or two across all platforms. They have. They have, but still, ratings were down. And maybe that was a part of it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Maybe that was a part of why. And you've got that evidence to present to the Players Association and say, look, we're not going to lose our fans. No. Stop it. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. It's Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn this week. It returns on Tuesday after Memorial Day.
Starting point is 00:10:26 You know what a weird situation this Kelly Ann Conway's husband thing is? He's been really public with his tweeting about his distaste for the president. You've got probably the right-hand person of the president. No kidding. She's been there for a long time. And nobody's more loyal than Kelly Ann Conway. And I think she'll, she'd say anything for the president. I believe that.
Starting point is 00:10:59 And then you've got her husband tweeting out nasty things about him all the time. Huge article about that today. That's a really tough one. That's a tough one. Think about that. You think Trump's okay with that? No way. Absolutely not. And you got to think. What an uncomfortable situation for her. I know. You got to think that, I mean, that I'm comfortable at work and home now. Yes. Yes. And you would think between the two of them at home, it'd be like, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Of course, I don't know if Kelly Ann Conway refers to her. husband as such. No, she does. She does. That's clear, yeah. Dude, you're making this really tough for me at work. Can you stop? And he said, shut up, go cook dinner. I don't know. That must be what he said. I don't know. He's ignoring it.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Just out of concern for your wife, you would think. Yes. Okay, yes, I'll back off. I'll keep it to myself. I'll keep it to myself. Or I'll talk to my coworkers about it, but I'm not going to share it publicly on Twitter. Right. You know what this would be like? This would be like if my wife, Jackie, hated Glenn.
Starting point is 00:12:05 And every day she tweeted about what a fraud Glenn is. Or she retweeted something about Glenn that was really negative. Yeah. What would that do to my relationship with Glenn? It would hurt. Yeah. I would think he'd come to me and he'd say, Pat, what's the deal with Jackie? Clearly.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Can you talk to her? well yeah I did but she just won't listen he just keeps tweeting about you is that a problem you're gonna have to live with it you're gonna have to live with it I mean I can't control her and that is a fact after all you're elected official right and you know what I mean you're a public figure my wife is a private citizen she's an American
Starting point is 00:12:46 she's just gonna say what she wants about you okay alright so I mean can you imagine I don't know that you would last very long in this job if that happened. Understandably sold. Now you're talking about the right-hand person of the president of the United States who's got to get on cable news every day and talk about his policies. Talk truth to power.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yep. And defend him. And defend him and his policies and the things he says on Twitter and the investigation with Mueller and you've got to do that every day. And then you've got your husband working against you. Right. Tough situation. Really tough.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And it's kind of amazing that Trump hasn't, I don't know, fired her for it. Has he ever, has he? It would be ugly to, but you know, you know, it's almost understandable. I know. I can't. Kelly Ann, I love you. You've done a great job. But I can't have your, the closest person in your life working against me in my administration
Starting point is 00:13:48 and really working against you every day. It's a weird thing. Well, I, well, I do, I haven't delved into every tweet that President Trump has tweeted. No. And, and by the way, I am not blocked by President Trump. Well, you can't be. Constitutionally speaking, you can't be. Which is weird, holding there, too.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I know, and we'll talk about that a little bit. But as he tweeted, like, you know, hey, Kelly's wife, George, man, he's such a bad guy. I hate him. I don't think so. so. I don't think so, which is an amazing restraint on his part. Amazing restraint because he could and he's certainly capable. And I'm not, and I'm surprised he hasn't just to say, you know, I love Kelly. Yeah. Kelly does a great job, you know, try to distance the whole thing, but Kelly does a great job. But, you know, not everybody picks the right spouse. I've been through a couple of them myself.
Starting point is 00:14:46 And that'd be so easy for him to do. Right. I guess out of respect for Kelly Ann, he hasn't done it. Good for him. Yeah, it's, I mean, he doesn't show a lot of restraint on Twitter. No, he does not. So that's amazing, actually. It's amazing. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. So we have that.
Starting point is 00:15:06 We also have the president talking about SpyGate and some thoughts that Jake Tapper from CNN had on that. And of course, we've got the NFL continuing their goofy policies. You know, actually they did the right thing. But they didn't put any teeth in it. No. So. And I hope that it's not too little too late, but it kind of feels like it. I do too.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah. I do too. Janet in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffie. Hi, Pat. Hi, Jeffey. Hello. Just want to get right to the point about the NFL. One thing that I noticed is why haven't we heard anything about all this problems
Starting point is 00:15:49 and what they're trying to fight against during your season? Right, right, from the players. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. They feel it everything, you know, the meal and they have to make all these statements and everything, but yet when it's on their time during their season, you don't hear anything. That's a good point. That's an interesting point.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And they will say that they have been doing that. They just don't get the coverage they get unless they have. Which I don't buy that. I don't buy that. Yeah, the coverage shouldn't mean anything if you're so in. You know, if everything that you're fighting against is so important. Right. Get out there and do something about it.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Right. Thanks a lot, Jen. I appreciate it. Are you telling me if a bunch of NFL players got together on a street corner holding signs and protesting or kneeling on a street corner or whatever? That wouldn't be covered? Not nobody would be interested in that story. Sorry, we see that every day. Another NFL player protest over at Fifth in Maine.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Nah, that's not interesting. I'm just not going to do it. Oh, everybody would cover that. That's a great point. Where are you? They could be tweeting about it every day or once a week or once a month or any time during the off season. I haven't seen any of it. None of it.
Starting point is 00:17:11 And every sports show and television morning show across America dies for guests. You could certainly go on any show you want. No matter what you're hawking. there's time for you. Well, the NFL network has a morning show. You could go on there and talk about what you believe is social justice. Right. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah. It's amazing. It is. Hadn't even thought of that. It is. AAA 727 BECK. What do you make of the, speaking of the president as we were a moment ago, what do you make of the spy gate conspiracy, the FBI infiltration,
Starting point is 00:17:51 infiltrating the Trump campaign was spies. People are calling a spy gate that as I just, I mean, I'm right. The president was stopped by the press yesterday, and here's what he had to say about it. It's so important. What I'm doing is a service to this country, and I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey. And excuse me, a lot of people have said it. And you go into the FBI. A lot of people have said it. That's what I know. I love that technique of this.
Starting point is 00:18:26 A lot of people have said it. Well, then it puts it in your mind that, oh, okay, I haven't heard anybody say it, but he has. So a lot of people must be saying it. And a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you, I did a great service to our country by firing James Gommel. We've got to continue this because it's good stuff. He's a master at this. And that's why he's in the White House. AAA 727 B-E-C-K
Starting point is 00:18:53 More Pat and Jeffey for Glenn On the Glenn Beck program With Pat and Jeffey this week AAA 7-27 back We were Playing some of President Trump's words yesterday He had some things to say about the SpyGate situation
Starting point is 00:19:19 And about James Comey And what's going on with the Continuing investigations It's so important what I'm doing is a service to this country and I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey and excuse me, a lot of people have said it
Starting point is 00:19:39 and you go into the... A lot of people have said it can't. Can you deny that? No. No, you can't. The FBI and a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you. They'll tell you. I did a great service to our country by firing James Coleman. And see, he's safe there because nobody's going to go into the FBI. like he said, you go into the FBI and you ask them and they'll tell you that I did a great service firing James Comey.
Starting point is 00:20:05 We should book a trip to the FBI office in D.C. And go into the FBI and say, hey, just by a show of hands. Who here believes that President Trump did a great service by firing James Comey? There's reports that that's actually true. Yeah, there are. Oh, yeah. I've seen them. But it's just that he can. You can't verify any of this. You're not going to walk them to do that.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Right. I want them all to get together, and I want them because everybody wants to solve. But a lot of bad things have happened. We now call it Spygate. You're calling it Spygate. A lot of bad things have happened. You're calling it. He's telling the press.
Starting point is 00:20:46 You're calling it Spygate. I, nobody's calling it SpyGate except you know. They're reporting on it because you called it that. It's reminiscent of this. unions did in fact build the middle class right yeah and that built and here's what that did what they do that built the united states of america as we know it you know you notice they always refer to me in the press as middle class joe is oh no no i've never noticed that actually everywhere the only one that refers to joe biden as middle class joe is joe biden so good so that's why it's so great
Starting point is 00:21:27 that Donald Trump employs that tactic. I'm calling it Spigate. You're calling it Spygate. Am I? Is that what I'm? I guess so. He told me. He's a president.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He told me I'm calling it Spygate. Spygate. What it is. Period. Amazing. All right. John in New York. Welcome to the Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Hey. Hey, guys. Straight to your point. Trump is beating the media at their own game. CNN every day yells out whatever comes to my. and sees what'll stick. He's doing the same thing.
Starting point is 00:22:00 He said better. That is true. You know, whether we like it or not, half the country agrees on it. Half the country agrees on. So I think that he has done a service. I mean, the leadership of the FBI, I think is dirty. Well, and appreciate the call. Thanks, John.
Starting point is 00:22:18 There have been articles about how there was discontent inside the FBI about James Comey. Yes. And they also are concerned that the operational... Eschelon has been way too political for the past number of years, including who's there now. And I know there are reports about FBI, some FBI detectives or whatever they, whatever there, special agents. Special agents are, want to be asked and subpoenaed by Congress so they can testify. They want to be? That was what's being reported because they don't want to, you know, they don't want to just come out and say it.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Because then if they get subpoenaed, then Congress covers the cost. A lot of people are saying they don't want to come out and say it. A lot of people are saying that. That's exactly right. You know, you're always hearing people call me positively perfect Pat. You're calling me positively perfect. I am. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:12 And a lot of people say it. They say, hey, that's a gray. Positively perfect Pat. A lot of people are saying it. Wow. It's a good tactic. It is a good tactic. I don't want to call you positively perfect Pat.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Well, everybody's calling me that. So why wouldn't you? I guess I'll have to start now. No problem. Now, there is somebody who's not buying into this. Jake Tapper. We've talked about Jake Tapper a lot. To me, he's a really good journalist.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I think, though, he's somewhat irritated with the president. He did a monologue that was pretty biting. President Trump pushing a brand new conspiracy theory, one seemingly grounded more in suspicions and his desire for a counter-narrative than it is based on established facts. Tweeting in one of his five tweets today on the subject of this confidential FBI source who spoke with at least three
Starting point is 00:24:05 Trump campaign members in 2016, quote, SpyGate could be one of the biggest political scandals in history. And this afternoon the president went on to say this. All you have to do is look at the basics and you'll see. It looks like a very serious event. Well, we have looked at the basics. What we know is this.
Starting point is 00:24:29 The FBI conducting a counterintelligence investigation in 2016 into whether Russians were trying to influence the election or just what they were up to, sent a confidential FBI source to speak with members of the Trump campaign. U.S. officials tell CNN that that source was not planted within the campaign. He wasn't a campaign staffer, as far as we know. There's obviously a lot we don't know, but there's no evidence as of now that this was done for political purposes,
Starting point is 00:24:55 as the president is alleging. we're told that the FBI was trying to figure out just what the Russians were up to and whether they were getting help from any Americans. That makes sense. Now, how tough would it be to find out whether or not this guy was part of the campaign? You should absolutely have access to that. Look for is his name on the campaign roster? Was he paid by the campaign?
Starting point is 00:25:18 That should be easy to find out. So why haven't we now? I don't know. I mean, if the guy just interviewed campaign staffers, that's not a spy within the... No, and did they do other interviews with the Hillary Clinton campaign? You know, because they were concerned about the Russians and the campaign. Right. Yeah, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:25:37 It's a good question. Now, while we await the investigation into this matter by journalists and by the Justice Department Inspector General, it's worth remembering that while we're sticking to the facts and telling you just what we know, President Trump apparently has no such constraints since he simply makes stuff up. He frequently lies and has a long and well-documented career engaging in conspiracy theories about all manner of subjects with no concrete evidence ever provided. Just a small sampling for years, he perpetuated the myth that President Obama wasn't born in the United States. True. He's got a point there. He's claimed with no evidence he saw thousands of Muslims on TV celebrating 9-11 on rooftops in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Now I think what happened there was he conflated that with the Middle East where there were thousands. thousands of Muslims cheering. It did happen. That happened in the Palestinian territories. There's documented evidence of that. Didn't happen in New Jersey, perhaps, but it did happen in the Middle East. No evidence of that. He bizarrely suggested Senator Ted Cruz's father might have been involved in the assassination of JFK. Okay. There's no defense on that one.
Starting point is 00:26:46 There's just no defense on that. He wasn't president here, though. What? This is during the campaign. Well, right, yes. That was during the campaign. Nope. You get to say what you want to do. claimed that his popular vote lost by blaming three to five illegal votes. Again, zero evidence for this.
Starting point is 00:27:01 He pushed a conspiracy theory that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was somehow involved in the tragic death of one of his staff members. Again, well, now, wait a minute. Stop right there. Let's not get hasty and just dismiss that one on the hand. We need to dig a little bit deeper on that, Jake. Let's look into how a 26-year-old girl fell out of her chair and died. Let's look into that. Shall we?
Starting point is 00:27:23 Okay. Zero evidence. He said that former President Obama had his wires tapped in Trump Tower. No evidence of that either. I could go on, but this is just an hour show. We should get to the bottom of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Russian election interference and whether anything was done improperly by law enforcement as well as those who are guilty of whatever they might be guilty of. The FBI is certainly not above criticism. And without question, there needs to be a healthy and robust oversight of the intelligence agencies. But that's not what the president is. President is pushing for here. He's focused on propelling a counter-narrative to try to undermine the special counsel investigation. It's a fable in which he is the victim. And law enforcement officials are the bad guys. The President frequently seeks to undermine those who look to undercover uncomfortable facts about him. This week, for example, 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl revealed that then candidate Donald Trump told her during an off-camera conversation she had with him in the summer of 2016. Stahl says she asked, Donald Trump why he continues to attack the press, and according to her, this was his response.
Starting point is 00:28:29 He said, you know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and to mean you all, so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you. Chilling, really. And yet wholly unsurprising, and the president is now doing the same thing with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Justice Department and the FBI. And as this new counter-narrative is being born, one that is being repeated already by the president's obedience supporters on the hill and his vassals in conservative media, we here will continue digging for the truth, despite this bombardment of falsehoods.
Starting point is 00:29:03 CNN's Jeff Delany now picks up our coverage on this issue. We don't need to pick up the coverage on the decision. But if the Leslie Stahl thing is true, that's a problem. Oh, and... We're just taking her word for it, though. I know. I don't know. And sadly, it does sound like it would be true, though.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Well, it sounds like something he would say, but we don't know that he did say it. And for her to just blurt that out, well, was that in a conversation where you were recording? Was he on camera? Let's see it. Let's see the evidence. I find it difficult to believe Leslie wasn't recording when she was around the president. I know. I do too. So you're a 60 Minutes reporter. You must have had that on, well, not on tape, but on some digitized form of recording. So where is it? Let's see it. And the wiretap stuff, I mean, you know, that they, while I don't think, I think that's been proven that it wasn't, they weren't listening to him directly, but they had other people that they were listening to, right?
Starting point is 00:30:03 So that if you were to talk with them, then you were involved in that. Yeah. I mean, it was pretty, I know that it wasn't, you know, technically he wasn't being listened to. And I know that, you know, ardent President Trump supporters get, get upset with us when we even. consider some of this stuff. But, you know, I think we've always called it as we've seen it here. I do. And when he does good things,
Starting point is 00:30:29 we say he's done good things. And when he doesn't do good things, we mention that too. You know, if you're going to praise him no matter what he does, as some do, as Jake Tapper pointed out in the conservative media, some do.
Starting point is 00:30:44 No matter what he does, they praise it. Whether that's making a trillion dollars more, debt in a week or, you know, appointing Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. One's good, one's really bad. And you're just defending all of it? Well, that's kind of like a baseball umpire who's decided in advance before the game starts that because he likes the pitcher on the mound, he's going to call every single pitch a strike.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Is that fair? No. No. You got to call it as you. as you see it. But I'd like to see the proof of the Leslie Stahl thing. I'd like to see if she's got that on on tape, because that would be interesting.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I'd like to revisit the Joe Scarborough. Thank you, Jeffie. Thank you. It's Pat and Jeffey for Glenn on the Glenn Back program. Glenn back. It's Pat and Jeffie this week for Glenn. This is sad news. This is disappointing.
Starting point is 00:31:49 President Trump wrote a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un saying that their planned summit next month in Singapore has been canceled. He wrote, sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it's inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting. So it's off. I'm not sure to what statement he was referring. I don't know if I've heard one that openly hostile.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I'm not sure. I know that he was talking about, you know, not giving up. the nuke program and everything. But he also goes on to this letter to say, you talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used. So he gets his dig in like,
Starting point is 00:32:39 every time. He gets his digging like, hey Kim. Don't push me. Right. My dog's bigger than your dog. A lot bigger. We've got a great day and you have a chihuahua. So.
Starting point is 00:32:55 So, I mean, I pray I don't have to let it. I was, I mean, this would have been great. No kidding. No kidding. Maybe it can happen some other time. And look, and he, he's not closing the door to that. No, he did not close the door at all. He alludes to that completely.
Starting point is 00:33:13 So, you know, it could still happen. And China might make that happen with Kim. I mean, Kim's got to, he's got to step up, right? Yeah. It's amazing how quickly this went south. First of all, went south in the beginning, turned around almost 180 degrees right around the Olympics when North Korea was really reaching out to South Korea.
Starting point is 00:33:41 And South Korea has always wanted that. So they were welcoming it. And they sent representatives to the games. And then after the games, there was more conciliatory talk. And then Kim Jong-un met with Moon Jain from South Korea, and they had a decent conversation on the demilitarized zone. They were talking about ending the Korean War finally, officially. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Obviously, the actual action stopped a while ago. But it's never been officially ended with treaty. And they were talking about doing that. And then the summit was set up. I mean, that was, we had some serious momentum for peace. Yeah, we did. And then he got mad. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:21 because we were having our military exercises and we were coming together with them. And he was trying to play with the big boys, right? That's why, you know, President Trump had to remind him that our dog's bigger than yours. Thank you. And not because it eats kennel ration. It's because, remember those commercials, by the way? My dog's bigger than your dog? No, of course not.
Starting point is 00:34:42 No, that's so long ago. Your grandfather might, right? Yeah. AAA 727 back. Glenn. Back. Mercury. It's Pat Gray and Jeffey for Glenn this week.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Thanks for joining us on the show at noon Eastern immediately following this show. You can join me for my own show. Pat Gray Unleashed, blazeradio.com, Iheart radio app. Blaze Radio and TV network every weekday, starting at noon Eastern. Triple 8-727, Beck. Something kind of fun coming up this summer. A lot.
Starting point is 00:35:24 A lot of classic rock tours. I do you were going to be able to not. talk about this. I can't help it talk about this. I knew you weren't making it. Just can't. I mean, this hits your right where you live. It does. We started, we started scrolling through this earlier and it's just like, you know, that would be bad. I'd be all of them. All of these would be, I know just about all of them. Would be fantastic. James Taylor and Bonnie Rate are
Starting point is 00:35:49 touring this summer. I don't know that I could take James, though. Oh, I like James Taylor. I'm not about. I know, but he's going to speak. Oh, that's true. If he, if it starts injecting politics. I would not want to see it. I would not want to. John Fogarty and Zee Z-Z-Top will be together. Steve Miller and Peter Frampton. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Oh, that'd be great. Wow. Love to see that. I would love to see Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. That'd be a good show. What's great about the Doobie Brothers, too, is that two out of the three lead singers are with the band again. Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons. Still, though, no Michael.
Starting point is 00:36:26 No Michael McDonald. And Walter Becker has gone from Steely Dan. Yeah, he don't know. You know, Donald Fagan's going to be touring with them, but it's not exactly the same. I think one of their sons tours with Steely Dan now with, with Fagan. Okay. Jeff Beck and Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company? That wouldn't be bad to see.
Starting point is 00:36:45 No, it wouldn't. And Jeff's always been great. Paul Rogers was touring with Queen for a while, which would have been interesting to see. One, I've already got tickets to, Def Leopard and Journey. That's coming to the DFW. You don't like Def Leopard and Journey? Not really. I didn't think I could lose any more respect for you than I already have.
Starting point is 00:37:07 But no, it just happened. I guarantee that you can't. We're into negative respect. No. I guarantee you can't. There's no doubt in my mind that you can't. Yeah, we're definitely into negative territory. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Hall and Oates. Now, train's not exactly classic rock, but I like train. Hollow notes is good, though. And Hollin Oates is great. I remember seeing them once a long time ago. They were put on a great show. Rod Stewart, Cindy Lopper, if you're lost, you can look and you'll find her time after time. She's right there.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And so like if you get lost in the wilderness, you just look. And there's Cindy Lopper and she'll lead you out of there. I don't know why more people don't do that when they get lost because she's always said, you look and you find her. Chicago and Oreo Speedwagon. Ride the storm out, baby. That might be a good show, actually. Except for their, you know, without Peter, Satira. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Chicago's a tough one now. I know. I just saw them on, have you ever watched AXIS TV? Yeah. Yeah. They always have the classic bands on their live performances they had Chicago on. And I was interested to see if Robert Lamb still had his voice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:17 It's tough. It is hard. You know, he's in his 70s now. Right. He's been touring on the road between everything else and then let alone life. Right. That's tough. Really hard.
Starting point is 00:38:31 You too? Bigot show. Paul Simon. Ringo Star. I always wanted to see Paul Simon. Do you ever see him? I have not. I'm not a huge Paul Simon.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I know. I like a lot of his stuff, though, and I would like to see him. Robert Plant. Jeff Lins, E.O. That might be worth. That. Oh, my gosh. I'd give any.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I'd pay almost anything to see E.O. the Eagles love to see them too. And now Glenn Frye, you know, we lost Glenn Frye. His son Deacon is part of the band. So I think he sings the Glenn Fry songs like Take It Easy and all those. And Vince Gill is doing some of the touring with them too? Wow. Yeah, that seems like a strange fit.
Starting point is 00:39:16 It does. He might be able pulling off though. Ozzy Osbourne coming. I know. My son wants to see Ozzy Bad, my youngest son. Because they're going to be in Dallas. One of the tour dates is in Dallas. We had to go see Oz.
Starting point is 00:39:27 He doesn't bite the heads off doves anymore, but he does take a bite of a dove candy bar now. But his dentures can't get all the way through the bar. I know. It's going to be a little bit different show. It's going to be interesting to see how they just walk him out on stage and say, okay, here you are. You're in the city.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Go. Uh-huh. I know. Seriously, does he even know where he is? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I think he does. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:52 It's amazing if he does. I think he does from time to time. Roger Daltry touring without the who good luck with that oh Michael Neesmith and Mickey Dolan's from the monkeys you know David Jones is not now Leonard Skinner they're surviving members
Starting point is 00:40:08 Stephen Tyler I think he's doing a country he's touring for his country album that he did a couple years ago they were talking on here that it's about a month long it's not really a big tour he's just going out and performing his country stuff for a few dates in the summer
Starting point is 00:40:25 but I like Stephen Tyler I do too I kind of do too I love Aerosmith It might be worth going Just for the fun of it You know yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:32 And then Alice Cooper And on some of those shows Ace Freely from Kiss Will open So So So And here's those
Starting point is 00:40:42 Here's the worst part Of going over this list Do you don't need to talk about that We found this list On the AARP website So bad. I'm looking at... I'm looking at the Chris Cuomo story about him moving to prime time.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Yeah. And I look along the side, you know, as the side ads of the website, whatever website I was reading in, and I see, oh, nostalgia tour. And I click on it's AARP. Oh, man. What are you doing to me? That hurts. That hurts.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I shouldn't have clicked on it because now all I'm going to see is AARP ads. I know. Well, yeah, for sure. For sure. And I'm not a supporter of AARP. But you can get discounts. Their big progressive agenda that they, you know, the, I wonder how they feel about Obamacare that they help drive down our throats now.
Starting point is 00:41:36 How do you feel now? You like that? Idiots. Right. Idiots. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. So we've mentioned a couple of things this morning. The NFL kneeling rule.
Starting point is 00:41:51 They've actually stated. now that it's against the rules to kneel and there'll be some penalties for it but not like a 15-yard penalty but you'll probably pay a fine somebody will uh also the donald trump spygate thing still continues to uh brew and uh the north korean summit has been canceled president sent a letter to kim jang un saying uh yeah because of your rhetoric it's not appropriate to meet right now that's actually it's disappointing it's disappointing it's disappointing it's disappointing but I just, I really want to. For some reason, I don't know why I've always,
Starting point is 00:42:26 I felt good about that actually happening. Yeah, I did too. Yeah, I did too. Also, some sad news, the Iranian leader, who is the Ayatollah Ali Kameen, has said that the United States will lose in any matchup with Iran, just like the cat in Tom and Jerry. What a hip reference.
Starting point is 00:42:53 You know, you talk about a, pop culture officiado you gotta talk you're talking to Ali Kalmani I mean everybody knows Tom and Jerry though are they just now
Starting point is 00:43:04 getting our 50 year old cartoons it's possible so he's catch it up on the hip factor a little bit possible I just found that really by the cat and Tom and Jerry
Starting point is 00:43:15 although I will say it's a reference that everyone knows right I guess everybody over 40 maybe yeah that's true yeah
Starting point is 00:43:22 he said the U.S. has tried various political, economic, military, and propaganda undertakings to hit the Islamic Republic throughout its four decades. The nation's top religious leader told the gathering, but all of these plots failed like the famous cat in Tom and Jerry, they will lose again. That is weird. They've got to start picking a fight or whatever because they've got the uprisings and
Starting point is 00:43:46 some very unhappy people in their country. And we didn't, we did not take advantage of that. No, we did not. 2009 when Obama had the chance to encourage, you know, an uprising. He encouraged everybody else. He should have. He could have. We could have maybe overthrown that oppressive government at the time.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And it doesn't seem like we're taking the opportunity this time either. So we'll see. Maybe we will. But so far it's kind of quiet on the Iranian front. And if we would have acted on it during Obama, we would have missed the Tom and Jerry reference, though. So, I mean. So it was almost worth it. Just leave it alone so we could get that.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah. It was, yeah. Another big story from the UN, the world is facing an obesity challenge. Your thoughts on that, Jeffrey? I couldn't disagree more. It's not a challenge. I'll tell you that. It isn't a challenge to become obese.
Starting point is 00:44:43 It's really easy. It's really easy. Here's the thing, though. You know, if the world is getting too fat, isn't that a good thing? It's supposed to be, right? I mean, because of capitalism, instead of starving to death, instead of distended stomachs and emaciated bodies, people now have so much food that they're actually overweight? That seems better to me. The World Health Organization and the United Nations, they run this, they slam this story down our throats a couple of times a year, at least once a year.
Starting point is 00:45:16 And then they go back to, I bet you attach somewhere in that story. And I don't have it in front of me, but I bet you're somewhere in that story. they go, they link to let's all eat bugs for health and purposes so that people are less obese and it's for our health purposes because they are, they are having us to eat bugs forever. I can help them out with that and just say, no, I'm not going to ever do that. I'm not going to do that. As long as there are alternatives to eating bugs, I'm going to take them.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Really? Yeah. even if it leads to diabetes, I'm still going to eat food that I like and not turn to bugs. So you might as well not even worry about it. Glenn Beck, Mercury. Pat Gray, Jeffie, Glenn,
Starting point is 00:46:10 AAA 727, Beck. The court that ruled in the case of the parents trying to kick their son out of their house, the 30-year-old son, they ruled that he has to go. He's appealing the case. Hateful court against this young man. This poor child.
Starting point is 00:46:34 This poor 30-year-old child. Unable to find employment. Who doesn't have a job. Struggling. I guess he cooks his own food and does his own laundry. What's the problem? His mean, mean parents. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:55 You know, at the tender age of 30, want him out of their house. How dare they? How dare they? So he was on CNN yesterday and was interviewed. It's interesting. The guy's got some issues. Because it's my understanding. You've lived, you know, at your parents' house, rent-free for eight years.
Starting point is 00:47:16 And I know you do your own laundry, you buy your own food. But they asked you five times. Please move out. Why couldn't you guys resolve this without the court? Yeah. I would consider much of what they were doing to try to get me out as a tax. And what I was trying to, I was just, you know, trying to preserve. We're trying to do what's best for me, which is just, you know, let's try to be a little more reasonable.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Oh, there you go. So he stumbles over it a little bit because what he's trying to say here is, didn't want to. Yeah. I don't want to. Well, that's for me. Yeah. It was easy for me to stay. I don't like living here. Uh-huh. Oh. Oh, no. I need reasonable time.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Needs a little time. There's an example of this. The first... He just needs a little time. It's only been eight years. He's only been there since, I guess, after he graduated from college, did he? I don't even know. Because apparently there was a space between when they raised him and when he came back to live at home. Wasn't it reported that he even... I mean, he had a... a wife and a kid or was it just a kid? He got a divorce, right? Because they broke up
Starting point is 00:48:28 and then she got custody. He lost custody of the child. You can't be expected to have your own place once you lose custody of your child. No, you can't. The February 2nd notice was basically you have 14 days before you're outside in the winter weather. Well, yeah, but see what you do is you get a different place so that you're inside. I know two weeks is like a minute and a half to this guy, but. So the first thing I did when I got that was I
Starting point is 00:48:56 I made sure that that wasn't going to happen. I kind of hit in the police department. I said, is this something that's, you know, this could happen? That's embarrassing right there. Okay, so your parents said, hey, you need to get out in about two weeks, okay? So it goes to the police department. Can this happen? Can this happen? Can they kick me out of their house within two weeks? And they're like, no, you can just call us.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Really? that they can't do that. And I said, all right. Wait a minute. Parents can't kick their kid out of their house. Police can stop that. I don't believe that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Or check that again. Maybe that's a local law where you could stay with your parents indefinitely? I don't know. He's got maybe squatters rights. Wow. That's amazing. I'm listening to you. I really am.
Starting point is 00:49:45 But let me just understand. I hear you on your parents giving you notices. The fact that you were on national television talking about moving out of your parents' house, you tell me you want to move out of your parents' house. Move out. Why don't you just move out of your parents' house? Like, tomorrow? I don't have the means to do that tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Okay. Do you have a job? No. No. Well, here's a little helpful hint. Maybe you cut your hair. Now, should you have to do that? We could debate that if you want.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Whether shoulder length or middle of the back length, long hair on a man is detrimental to getting a job. And whether it should be, we all know it is, but should it be, well, yeah, if an employer wants you to cut your hair or does, you know, want you to look a certain way, if you're going to be interacting with customers or clients or whatever, they can tell you to do that. I mean, if you expect an employer to treat you,
Starting point is 00:50:49 to like you can do anything you want go be part of the NFL they'll let you have a beard and long hair yeah they will well and they sure will and you can kneel down and you know what you can continue to live in your parents' house because you'll be gone a few months in the third of the year
Starting point is 00:51:06 it's a good suggestion thank you yeah apply at the NFL head office it's good I think you can fill out an application at the NFL dot com I could be wrong yeah triple eight 727 Beck. Scott in Ohio. You're on the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Hi. Hi. I was just about to spy gate with Trump. Why is these FISA judges not having their feet held to the fire for accepting these lame applications for these FISA warrants? Nobody never mentions about these judges. If I was one of them judges, I'd be furious. I'd call it back and say, hey, you can't ease that no more. I don't know if they can do that or not, but that's my...
Starting point is 00:52:00 Yeah, I mean, we never talk about the FISA judges. Appreciate the call, Scott. And frankly, I don't know that much about the rules for the FISA judges because it's a special court. It's a special thing that was set up to deal with terrorism. And normally when they set up special deals, those get those get set up because they do the things that the government officials like. Exactly. And they're normally extra constitutional or just outside of the Constitution a little bit. Is that extra constitutional?
Starting point is 00:52:36 Uh-huh. Just outside of the Constitution is extra constitutional? Yes. Gotcha. Uh-huh. Mark in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, guys. I just wanted to tell you about why Tom and Jerry is so popular in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Okay, with like the Supreme Leader Ali Khamini? Exactly. When I was over there, I learned this. I never even dreamed of it, but, you know, cartoons that don't have any talking in them. You know, they don't have any dialogue. Oh, yeah. They don't need to translate them. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:11 So those cartoons are on. Tom and Jerry is on, like over in Iraq. was on all the time on TV. It's like all they ever watch. Yeah. Interesting. So to him that's probably a very hip reference. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Right. Which, uh, thanks Mark. Uh, which tells you how pathetic, uh, that country is. Why? Does it like Tom and Jerry? Wow. It's a 78 year old cartoon. Hello.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Is it really 78? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. 78 years ago that came out. Wow. I think by the time you and I were growing up, that was
Starting point is 00:53:49 long into reruns. It's the Glenn Beck program. It's Pat Gray and Jeffrey for Glenn, Triple Eight, 727. Back. Let's go to Charlie in Idaho. Hey, Charlie, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, guys. Sorry to call you so late.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Happy Stormy Daniels Day. Thank you. Is it Stormy Daniels Day? It can be. I think it was yesterday. day in Hollywood. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I missed the celebration. Yeah. But my reason for calling is because I don't know if you guys hear me yelling at the radio constantly. I was just telling that. I wish he would shut up. I got a pretty loud voice. But, you know, all this stuff started back when Donald Trump became the nominees.
Starting point is 00:54:47 And people are not remembering that he was. was never going to become president. Right. This was all truthfully, Obama's revenge against Donald Trump. And when Hillary became president, this was the way all these investigations and all these little plots,
Starting point is 00:55:07 this was the way that Obama was going to get back at Trump and ruin his name and his empire. It had nothing to do with delegitimizing the president because he was never going to be president. Yeah, they didn't believe. so yeah so you so you believe they were spying on him so they could use something once Hillary became president I mean come on obviously Obama just like Trump can't stand Obama Obama can't stand Trump I think that's true there's no way in the world there's no way
Starting point is 00:55:39 in the world that all this stuff that was going on was not known by Obama and nobody wants to call him out because he's the Messiah right appreciate it thanks Charlie that's a pretty good point. Excellent point. Definitely something to consider. Danny in North Carolina. Welcome. Hey, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah, I just wanted to comment on this 30-year-old idiot. I ain't saying great things about me, but in like 75, I left home while I was 15 years old. I went down to visit my dad in South Carolina from Virginia.
Starting point is 00:56:16 And next thing you know, I was at a job and had a little small little one bedroom mobile home, I was paying rent on going to work every day. And I was always taught to work ethics and stuff. I just can't understand today's society how we've gotten so far. I mean, we've had other things in, you know, like 60 and 70s, idiots. Yeah. Like nowadays, if everybody's looking for something, give me this, give me that.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Definitely. I've worked all my life. I mean, I've worked since I was 13 years old, and that's the fact. fact. And I just can't see the idiot sitting up here how foolish and he looks, and Lord forgiveness of saying that word, but he's sitting here on national TV and trying to make himself look like he says. I don't think he cares. He's no, he's not a grown-up. No. Yeah. And he's got no shame. Thanks, Denick. Because you can't do this if you have any shame. You can't. It's too embarrassing to you. I mean, we talked yesterday. I mean, we've all worked since we were, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:18 11, 12, 13 years old. And it was just a thing, you know what, that's what you did. And you wanted to be on your own so you didn't have the arm of your parents telling you, you know, when and when you can't go.
Starting point is 00:57:35 And obviously he doesn't have that. He just wants the comfort zone of the house. Yeah. And it still doesn't make any sense. I mean, I would rather live in, as proven by, you know, life, I would rather live in an apartment by myself.
Starting point is 00:57:48 with milk crates that have that. Just too much entitlement, no. He believes he's entitled to live at his parents' house. He's probably entitled to just sponge off his parents for the rest of his life. Right. You know, and then he gets on.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Yeah, I mean, I went to the police. They can't do that, you know? Are you kidding me? It's so embarrassing. Did the police say, look, how old are you, kid? Get out of here. Oh, 30.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Okay, bye-bye. hanging up now Mike and Maine welcome to the Glenbeck program Hey Jeff Nice talking with you Who too I'm glad you're feeling a lot better
Starting point is 00:58:30 My parents To change the locks on the house At some point go Yeah Something Yeah So your dad changed the locks On your house to keep you out
Starting point is 00:58:53 Or what? Yeah pretty much Wow Wow And so it was just you just realized, oh, okay. So, no, at the time, the feelings were mutual. I didn't want to be there and he didn't want me back.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Yeah, yeah. Wow. So that's how to watch to it. Apparently turned out okay, though. You handled it. You dealt with it. It's tough love. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Yeah. It's all good. Thanks, Mike. This guy, though, he claims that he doesn't want to be there. He claims he'd rather be somewhere else. But he's making no effort. Right. Doesn't have a job.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Is it working toward that? You can guarantee that if they change the locks, he'd sleep on the porch until they let him in. Guaranteed. Definitely. Absolutely. There's no way he, right. Break a window and get in. Thinking that his key doesn't, you know, something was wrong with the key.
Starting point is 00:59:47 It didn't work. You have to fix that front window. Joe in Ohio. You're on the Glenn Beck program with that. Hi. Good morning. Good morning, gentlemen. Morning.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the Steph Curry thing. You're not invited anyway. I'm not going to go. Well, you're uninvited anyway.
Starting point is 01:00:24 And it might be something like that. That's not a bad call. Yeah. And look, I kind of understand it. I mean, I'm not slamming him for that, even if that's true. Before the, you know, pulling out first. Because except that you would hope that it would still take place, right? So only if this is the, if that's the case, then you got to figure that we knew.
Starting point is 01:00:48 we knew today that he was, Kim was going to pull out. And they might. Right. They might have, I mean, obviously they've got more information than we do.
Starting point is 01:01:00 So maybe it was just inevitable that this was going to happen. So he did it first. He beat him to the punch. And that's possible. Yeah. And he, well,
Starting point is 01:01:07 he definitely would have tried to beat him to the punch. Either way, you just got to hope that we already knew that it was a done deal. Right. David in Virginia, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I'm law enforcement here in Virginia, and I just wanted to pass a little bit of information. That's kind of a sad situation, but in Virginia, that 30-year-old would have some legal protection. I don't really know where this is because I'm not familiar with the story, but if... It's in New York. New York, yeah. So, Virginia, being a Commonwealth, it's got a little bit of a different circumstance because
Starting point is 01:01:39 we're case law, and there's case law that establishes that if he's providing, like, groceries and having some of his own property and stuff like that, and he's been there for a period of time. He's established residency, and the parents have allowed it. So as the cops here, we get that call for service. Yeah, sort of, yeah. We'd get that call for service, and we'd have to hang our heads and tell the parents
Starting point is 01:02:04 that they've got to go through the eviction process on him, which, I mean, they just affords them and him a legal means to do it without getting fancy, and they could just bounce him out, but they have to do it through the courts and spend the money. Which is what they did. Right. Well, and see, when we showed up, we would definitely be hanging our heads and looking at him like he's a moron.
Starting point is 01:02:27 But there would be nothing you could do. No, nothing. Right. And it's aggravating his hill. And how long do they normally have? Do they have, I mean, to get out? Once the eviction process starts, how long do they have? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Once the court rules the eviction, he has, I believe, is 72 hours to remove his stuff. and then if it's not done, they contact the sheriff's department, and the sheriff's department actually removes this stuff. That's an interesting process. That's when you drive past the house and you see people's stuff in the lawn. Yeah, just the big stuff out there, yeah. Yep, experience that. Yeah, thanks, David.
Starting point is 01:02:58 In Texas, we have that, too. I think it is a squatter-slower. And in my neighborhood, there was, when we first moved into it, there was a family that everybody in the neighborhood knew about and talked about that they hadn't paid their mortgage in two years. and they'd been, the bank was trying to get them out. And it took them over two years to get them out. And then finally they got whatever judgment they needed to get.
Starting point is 01:03:26 And one day where you're driving through the neighborhood heading to home, and every single thing in the house was out on the lawn waiting for them. Two years, though. Two years. Yeah, two years. Over two years. For free. And you got to believe never wound up making those payments.
Starting point is 01:03:44 No way. Because the bank then took control of it and auctioned it off. But it was interesting to drive past that house and see, you know, all the furniture, all the clothes, absolutely everything they owned just piled up outside. The sheriff's department must have come and just moved them out. Wow. Bye-bye. Change the locks.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Get out. Right. But, I mean, but yeah, they got two years out of it for free. Right. For free. And you think that they, if they were doing that. which kind of goes against common sense. But if they were doing that,
Starting point is 01:04:20 you'd think that they'd be smart enough to realize that time's up and not have their stuff end up out on the curb, right? Yeah, unless you're prepared for it. And then you're just going to ride that all the way until it's on the lawn. Then, okay, now we'll get a U-Haul and leave. That's true.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I don't know. That's true. I mean, it's pretty amazing. Again, no shame. How do you just allow that to happen? in your life. I wouldn't, I couldn't deal with that chaos. I couldn't deal with the uncertainty. But maybe, you know, people who live that way are fine with it. They're just, they're comfortable living in that environment. That would, I'd have an ulcer. I'd, I'd, I'd have a heart attack.
Starting point is 01:05:02 But you'd have a heart attack because, see, you would be actually trying to work out where you were back paying it and keeping it. Where's my family going to be? Move or whatever. And, you know, they already know, they're going to be here. until their stuff's in the front yard. Then they'll find maybe some other abandoned house. Right. Move into that. Maybe that's what they did.
Starting point is 01:05:21 I don't know. AAA 727. That's good idea. That's all you got to do? I think so. I think that's about it. Nice. More of the Glenn Beck program coming up.
Starting point is 01:05:35 It's Pat Gray and Jeffie for Glenn this week. By the way, at noon Eastern, right after this show wraps up, you can join me for my own show. Pat Gray unleashed on the blaze radio.com. Iheart radio app. Blades Radio and Television Network. Is that just today? That's every weekday,
Starting point is 01:05:53 noon Easter, beginning at noon Easter. Yeah, yeah, right. I bet you that shows, you know, not bad. Yeah, it's many people, in the words of Donald Trump, a lot of people are saying it's the greatest show ever done. A lot of people are saying it. I mean, you guys are.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Yeah, well, I'm not saying it, but a lot of guys are saying it. You're saying it, you've said it. I have said it. You know, and so. Who am I to argue with you? I'm so and by the way, we get you to work or home or wherever you're on your way with traffic and weather together every five minutes on the fours.
Starting point is 01:06:29 That's what makes it. That's one of the things that makes the show. And we do that for you as a special added service. No matter where your local market is, AAA 727BEC. Let's go to Al in Florida. Al, you're on the Glenback program. Hi. Good morning, gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:06:49 You know, I'm talking, you were talking about the NFL folks kneeling. Well, when you go to church, you kneel down to honor who you're praying to. And you go before the queen, you kneel down because you're honoring the queen. Even when you propose, you kneel down to your sweetheart to propose to her. So these folks don't get it. What they're doing is they're kneeling down when they're actually honoring the flag. you know i'm the vietnam veteran and that hurts me so bad i'd like to go on the field and whack them all but you know i wish somebody would tell them what they're actually doing yeah yeah because
Starting point is 01:07:28 i mean certainly they don't mean it that way no and and it's a sign of disrespect i've heard a i've heard a couple of uh arguments uh along those same lines uh that you just had and and they've all poo poohed that because it's like yeah yeah whatever it's not what we're doing So you know, you're not going to do Look, they already know It's affecting the way The fans look at them Look at their team, look at their product
Starting point is 01:07:57 They don't care Think of their product And it doesn't matter to them So telling them that what they're doing Is exactly opposite what they should be doing It's not going to matter to them. Yeah, definitely Brad in Indiana, you're on the Glenn Beck program
Starting point is 01:08:10 Hey guys, how you doing? Good. Hey, I'm a 30-year-old. I've heard a lot of parents calling in, and, you know, my folks were gracious enough to allow me to live with them when I was going through the recession right out of college, working for my dad. He said it was part of a perk living in the basement, but the day I decided to start moving, I haven't heard this option yet for this young man in, I think it's New York, is Walter Little Finn. Mom and Dad have been married for about 29 years, and, you know, you might hear some things when you're trying to go to sleep at night. So that was about the moment I said It's time to find a new job and get out of the house So I figured that was another opposite for everybody
Starting point is 01:08:48 Taking it as uncomfortable as often I guarantee that he would not care No I don't think he would How old were you at the time Brad when you were staying with your parents I was about 24 And I was trying to work Find a job It was a rough time out there for new college grad
Starting point is 01:09:03 But I was come away and Yeah I'm away in the real world But that was kind of a triggering moment in my head Like I got to do something I understand but Brad listen The difference is the difference is And I appreciate the call.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Thanks, Brad. I appreciate it. But the difference is, is that at no point during that process was Brad thinking, I'm just going to stay here. Right. I'm just going to, yeah, this is my long-term solution. You're thinking short-term. They're allowing me to live here so that I can get on my feet and get out. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:30 On my own. Right. And you don't mind that as a parent. Right. Usually, I would think. Triple-8-27-Bec. Glenn, back. Mercury.
Starting point is 01:09:45 It's Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, along with Jeffrey. The big news that's breaking right now is that President Trump has canceled the North Korean summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore. It's too bad because, yeah, I had some serious hope for that. Then maybe some progress could be made there. Maybe peace could be obtained. We wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. I know. I know. I mean, I really wanted that.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Maybe you at least agree to officially end the Korean War. Maybe you just start that healing process beginning on the Korean Peninsula. That would have been nice. Yeah, that would have been. I don't know that, I mean, does South Korea even want that really? Oh, South Korea. I think they've wanted that for a long time. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:41 I think they do. We've still dump a lot of money into that economy, and we've helped them build quite a military. but our military is still there and the United States presence is still there strong. Oh, they want to lose that. And don't get me started on the presence in South Korea. I have long been saying it's time to stop out. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:11:05 For a while. And I didn't bring it up because of that, but I know you have. But I'm just saying they don't want our presence to go. No, I think most of them want us to stay. Yeah. I think that's what I mean. I mean, maybe, maybe, you know, the. the regular citizen's reason says get out.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Yeah. But no way the government does. Where I am on that stuff now is, you know, South Korea's got a powerful army. It's like fourth or fifth biggest. With our help. Yeah, it's fourth or fifth biggest in the world. Okay, well, defend your country. We'll see you later.
Starting point is 01:11:34 It's been a good 60, 65 years. But we're done. Yeah, we're done. And we're even going to. We'll catch you later. I know we left a lot of equipment in Vietnam, but we're going to take our stuff. Yeah, we're going to take her toys. We're going to go home.
Starting point is 01:11:47 And I'd love it if we were less interventionist. Yeah, I really would. I think it's time to get back to this. Well, I mean, we're barely anywhere. I don't know what you're talking about interventions. We're barely anywhere. We're on what? We're on every continent.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Yeah, I don't know that we have troops stationed in Antarctica, but every other continent, we do. We might. Yeah, I believe we do. I would. I might. There's no. I would be surprised if the answer to that was we don't.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Yeah. Well, you never know when there's going to be a penguin uprising there. And you want to be prepared for it. You know, you laugh, but remember we just found out not long ago that the penguins were like six or seven feet high. Yeah, we did. Some of them are really big, yeah. They might start being born again that big. And if that happens.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah, you don't want none of that. Thank you. You're going to wish the U.S. military was there. Thank you. But it would be nice to go back to our founder's original thinking. stay out of stuff. There's a thought. Stay out of it.
Starting point is 01:12:49 We could, we, I think could benefit a lot from that thinking right now. And then, you know, maybe we even protect our own borders with the 37,000 troops. Just a thought. I don't know. Or maybe you just, some of those soldiers get to stay with their families for a while at a base. That might be nice as well. Weird.
Starting point is 01:13:14 You know, here in America and not contributing to the economy of South Korea and Japan and Germany and wherever else we are all over the world because we're everywhere. We sure are. We're in places that we didn't even know we were in. And we recently found that out in Africa. How many African countries are we in? And in some cases, we're in skirmishes. We're in battles.
Starting point is 01:13:38 We sure are. And many of those were brought on during the Obama administration. Yeah, there were. Yes. I mean, this is not just a Republican situation. It's an American president situation because as Glenn has talked many times about when he met with George W. Bush and Bush said, hey, don't worry so much about the next guy because he'll find out what I found out. And that's what we all have to do essentially the same thing. And that's what they do. Essentially the same thing because of the world situation and the circumstances we've created and been a part of. up for so long, we just continued that.
Starting point is 01:14:15 We have to. And that's why we've been reluctantly surprised at the many things that President Trump has accomplished from his campaign promises, because so many of those campaign promises from very many campaigners have fallen through the cracks. Because of that very thinking. Yeah. You know, they can't do it now.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Well, I really wanted to, but... Can't. Wish I could. Yeah. Look at the time. Let's take us to a big picture and get out of the oval. And that's what we do find, at least as far, when it comes to, certainly when it comes to foreign policy. Yeah. They have to act pretty much the same way. And they do.
Starting point is 01:14:54 AAA 727 back. David Hogg. This guy is changing the world. You just love it, don't you? I do not. I'd love to hear from him. I do not. Probably the most visible of the Parkland surviving activists.
Starting point is 01:15:09 He is calling for a die-in at public's supermarkets tomorrow to protest their donation to gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam, whom you know, right? I do know that. Good guy, you want him to win the election. I didn't realize that he was running for governor, and I like Adam Putnam,
Starting point is 01:15:29 and he would be a good governor for the state of Florida, I believe. Well, he has a pro-gun stance that gets him a top rating from the United States. He's a gun guy. His family, he was born in Florida. He was a Florida boy. they have a citrus farm in Bartow, Florida. You really, no matter what size farm you have, when you're walking whatever fields you have,
Starting point is 01:15:54 you want to be, have some sort of weapon on you. There are wild animals that need to be, you need to be safe from. Can't you just reason with the animals when they come to eat you? You could. You could. You may have your own personal die-in. Yeah, maybe you try something different. Maybe you don't kill for a change. Maybe you don't have a gun because the answer to animal violence is not more violence. Have you attempted to talk to a snake or?
Starting point is 01:16:25 Well, not for a while. A gator. Are you saying that's impossible? Have you ever tried it? Don't knock it until you've tried it. Honestly, no, I've never tried it. So apparently public supermarkets supports Adam Putnam. And he's got a lot long.
Starting point is 01:16:41 a really high rating from the NRA. Yeah, he's been, I mean, and Publix is a great supermarket chain in Florida and the South. I mean, they're really good. And my daughter and my wife miss shopping there. You know, when we travel to Florida, it's always like, oh, we get to go to Publix. They, but Adam has been, I mean, they've supported Adam Putnam since he was in the Florida state legislature since he was in the U.S. Congress for 10 years.
Starting point is 01:17:07 And then he left Congress, the U.S. Congress, and came back to Florida and became agriculture. Cultural Commissioner. So, I mean, he's, you know, they've been behind him 100% and they gave him the money that they gave him. And David is upset that Publix is supporting Adam because of his gun rating. And can you believe this? David Hogg now has. Did you see how many Twitter followers he's got now? It's easy enough to find out.
Starting point is 01:17:29 I don't know exactly. I don't know the number. It's a high school kid who started out probably with what, 12 or 25 or 50 followers. 799,000 now. Almost 800,000 followers. And he was immediately verified. Oh, was he? He immediately, as soon as they started talking to him at Parkland, he was, I mean,
Starting point is 01:17:51 he immediately got the blue check from Twitter. So he's telling all his Twitter followers that they should do a die-in at public stores. And if you're not in the one at Florida that he's talking about, then do it wherever you have a public. Starting at 4 p.m., inside the two public stores, because he's got two in his neighborhood around Parkland High School. Go in and lie down starting at four. Feel free to die in with us at many other publics as possible.
Starting point is 01:18:16 You know, I responded to, I actually responded to his tweet, which I usually let David tweets go, but it ticked me off with this. Yeah, it's so irritating. It'll get a lot of people on your side that are shopping for going into the holiday weekend on Friday afternoon. Let's go ahead and clog that up. David, that was good thinking. Let's do that. They'll be on your side then.
Starting point is 01:18:37 That's what leftists do, though. Leftists, they don't care who's inconvenienced. They don't care who's put out. They don't care who's hurt. They just want to make their statement. I'll never forget when janitors went on strike in Houston. This is about 10, 12 years ago. SEIU came down from Chicago with a bunch of their members to help out in their protest.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Well, they didn't come down to help out to pick up garbage? No, no, they didn't. In fact, there was a big strike and garbage didn't get picked up at a lot of buildings in Houston for a while. And so what they did instead was they drove into some of the most traffic congested intersections and dumped garbage into the middle of the street. That wins people over. Oh, did we love them then? Right. Oh, was I on the janitor's side then?
Starting point is 01:19:31 Right. Oh, my God. I can't tell you how much I loved them. I was all about the janitors for justice. I bet you were. When they started dumping garbage in front of me in the streets of Houston and impeding my way to work. I loved it. No matter where, impeding where you want to go.
Starting point is 01:19:51 That was the whole point of the Black Lives Matter marching marching on interstates and blocking roads. Right? It was no, it's fine. You're not helping your cause. Not at all. Not at all. And going into public supermarkets tomorrow. and lay in there in the aisles
Starting point is 01:20:06 and getting the way of shoppers and their carts, that's not going to help. No. Nobody's going to like that. And you're not going to win over anybody that way. And David would probably pick another store, but Publix has known for being so clean, he's able to, oh, I can lay down on that for it and not get dirty.
Starting point is 01:20:23 So, I mean, it's agonizing. It is. It is. And I want Publix to double down. I don't want them to back out. I want him to give Adam more money. Yeah. I mean, I do too.
Starting point is 01:20:33 I don't even know Adam. and I want them to give him more money because this just pisses me off. I know. Triple 8-27-B-E-C-K. Pat Gray and Jeffrey for Glenn this week. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Is our phone number?
Starting point is 01:20:58 Let's go to Staff Sergeant. We've got a Staff Sergeant. Staff Sergeant who, though? It doesn't say. There's not enough room on the name area. Staff Sergeant Don, did you say? Tom. Staff Sergeant Tom.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Yeah, hi. I just want to weigh in on these protests, the NFL, kneeling down. I've lived in a sports talk radio last few days, different national shows, and they all seem to be in support. And, you know, they keep saying, well, you know, they're protesting, you know, national issues. Well, I would like to have them see it from my perspective. I'm ex-military, and I attended three funerals at all.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Arlington National Cemetery back in the first Gulf War, the people that I knew that were lost in the cause. And I would want to see if Colin Kaepernick attended one of those funerals and heard the National Anthem played and then Taps, could he still have the guts to kneel down? If he did, that would be totally, you know, disrespectful, no matter what his cause is. Because when I hear the National Anthem, you can't help but get choked up.
Starting point is 01:22:12 thinking back to that time at Arlington National Cemetery when you watch three of your buddies get buried. Yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks, Tom. No kidding. And thank you for your service. And that's a point that seems to be lost on them. Of course, they say, anytime that's brought up.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Oh, it's not about that. We honor the military. We're all about the military. Yeah, but you can't see, you can't disrespect the national anthem and then say that. Right. Because our veterans don't buy that. It's all times and. It's all tied in.
Starting point is 01:22:44 And again, go back to what Colin Kampernick, the founder of this movement, what he said in the first place. And that was that it was about the country and it was about the flag. And it was about the anthem. Yes, it is, he said. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:58 So anybody who says it isn't is lying or they don't understand what the movement is about. And we mentioned earlier too. He's right. The sportscasters and, you know, we talked about listening to the ESPN and the Foxx. liberals.
Starting point is 01:23:13 All for it. I can't believe it. It's agonizing. I can't listen to it. When they start into this stuff, I have to turn the channel. How do they see? I mean, if sports, if NFL starts to fall a little bit more than it has, and granted, they're up, they're on a pretty sturdy mountain.
Starting point is 01:23:31 So it's going to take a while. You're not going to, you know, you're not knocking them off the hill right now. But if it starts to slip a little bit, there's not going to be the need for you sportscasters. Yeah. all talking NFL 24-7 because nobody cares. And the problem is, like you said, that's quite a ways down the road. I know. Because everybody loves the NFL.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Right. Everybody loves football. I know. It's forward to football season. And the escape that we're supposed to get from it. I'm guilty. I'm guilty of that. Except that I'm not guilty of, I am guilty of giving up a little.
Starting point is 01:24:08 You know, I mean, I have given up a little. And I pick and choose my games carefully. Yeah. And I pick and choose when I watch it, you know, because I try to miss the very beginning. Because I don't care. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Right. Right. I don't want to hear the announcers comment on it. I don't. I don't want to hear their support for it. I'll watch it with the sound down. I'll watch it with the sound down. A lot of times I do.
Starting point is 01:24:33 I'd rather watch it with the sound down. It makes you miss the days of Pat Summerall. And John Madden, who never commented about. political stuff. They talked about the game. The game. The games. Talked about the game. The game. Thank you. Stephen in Los Angeles or Louisiana. Which is it?
Starting point is 01:24:53 Louisiana. Louisiana. Okay. Welcome. Thank you, man. I just wanted to touch base with you get your opinion and your thought. My mom's on a fixed income and I live with her now. I'm 37 years old. She was about to be evicted out of her house. So I had to leave my house and everything, all my stuff, and move in with her. You know, I have a full-time job.
Starting point is 01:25:18 I've been out the house since I was 16. Yeah. So I'm trying to, you know. Big difference. It's a tough situation. Sure is. Yeah, you're there. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:25:26 You're there to help your mom. That's a completely different situation. Yeah, that's not the kind of thing we're talking about. Thanks for the call, Stephen. I'm glad you brought that up because we mentioned yesterday. There's exceptions to all these rules. And you're one of the exceptions. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:39 if you're there to take care of your mom or your parents, a completely different situation than a 30-year-old guy who's just there sponging off, a totally healthy 30-year-old sponging off his parents. And it is understandable that from time to time where instead of the parent moving in with you, you would move in with them because they're comfortable and they're at their place
Starting point is 01:26:02 and that's their place and you're going to take care of them. Why exactly are you saying it like that? Like it's something you're irritated with. It's just the way it happens. What do you mean? What is what's happened, Jeff? And it doesn't happen. Then what happens is that they move in with you.
Starting point is 01:26:22 And it moves in. No. Has someone moved in with you? Then they, you have to take care of them and you give them their own space. But then they want a different space. They can't be upstairs because you can't walk the stairs. You've got to be downstairs.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Sounds like pretty specific. examples of the top of my head. Really? Yeah, so you're not talking about any specific circumstance. You're just... I don't know, just people. Sometimes it happens to you. Just generally speaking.
Starting point is 01:26:50 What are you going to do? Say no and kick him out on the street. No, probably not. No, you can't do that. No, you can't do that. Can't do that. And what, you know, let's say you had... But I mean, let's say...
Starting point is 01:27:03 How long a period of time are you generally speaking of? Let's say these parents had more than one child. and only the one child is worthy of taking care of them. You're able to take care of them. Yeah. Because of her husband and stuff like that. Again, it sounds kind of specific.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Now, I'm just thinking of someone just out of top of my head. Now, how long would this situation have been going on in general? I mean, generally speaking. What, eight, nine years? That's something like that. Really? Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:40 But, I mean, again, it's just a hypothetical. hypothetical that you're just thrown out there. It wouldn't be good though. The good thing is it's like if you were to move, say, to another state and you had a place to stay in the state you were moving from, instead of getting rid of that place, you'd just, you know, they'd just stay there. Why wouldn't they do that? But they wouldn't write in this particular scenario.
Starting point is 01:28:00 No, but they would. Huh. That's interesting. It sounds really. I don't know what made me think of it. Very, very specific for a generalized circuit. circumstance that you're just blurting out off the top of your head.
Starting point is 01:28:15 It does happen. It does happen. And you have to, those are the issues that you have to deal with. And that's part of life. I get it. But this guy, the 30 year old, the specific guy that we're talking about and others that we heard about yesterday, there's something missing in the psyche of wanting to be an individual living in America out on your own.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Being independent. Yes. When you're a 30 year old man. Yeah. Something's a little off there. You're listening to. the Glenn Beck program. With Pat and Jeffey this week.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Nancy Pelosi was speaking about, well, I'm not really sure what her question was speaking about, frankly. She didn't get the question asked. Yeah. So there was a specific answer that was supposed to be answered. Right. But she was speaking initially, well, she was asked about the age of some of these elected officials.
Starting point is 01:29:13 And here's kind of what it turned into. Isn't it time for some members to return to private service and to encourage younger folks to run for office? So thank you. Yeah. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Should I take that personally?
Starting point is 01:29:34 Yes. Yes. Yes, Nancy. You should. Yes, you should. You should take that incredibly personally. And get out. Get out.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Let me say this. Okay. Two things. First of all, what I said earlier about money and politics, if you reduce the goal of money in politics and increase the level of civility in politics, you will elect more women, more young people, more people of color to elect a lot. And nothing is more wholesome than that. Okay, so nothing is more wholesome than electing people of color, women, and young people.
Starting point is 01:30:20 I guess it's not wholesome to elect people with experience. That's not wholesome. The fact is that Congress has a seniority system. So people in different regions want to make sure that the people who represent them are in a senior position to help express their views, the concerns of their region. But I'll take it personally and say that as a woman who came to Congress later, because I raised my five children, before I decided to accept the... opportunity to run for Congress so lots of times women are a bit older because they
Starting point is 01:30:55 have been raising their children now I'm happy because lots of young people young women are running with young children and we're trying to make it as family friendly as possible but I don't think for me I don't think age has that much to do with it I think it's about and especially as a woman I want women to know that whether they're going from college to Congress Well, they can't really do that, but 25 years old to Congress. In my case, from the kitchen to Congress, after my kids were grown, that whatever you're bringing, it's new and fresh and different because you're a woman. And that is with all the respect in the world for our male colleagues, but the important thing is to have the mix at the table, at the table.
Starting point is 01:31:41 At the table? At the table? At the table? At the table? The whole, at the table. It says to you earlier. The whole environment is changing. She's still talking? These young people are registering kids, 17 years old, who are not even quite old enough to vote, but will be by the time of the election.
Starting point is 01:31:58 The women march, and now they're running. And now they're running. And so there's a whole. And so there's a whole. People say to me, how are you going to use all that town? At the table. And now they're running. At the table.
Starting point is 01:32:10 At the table. And now they're running. How are they going to use us? How are we going to incorporate their, fresh enthusiasm. I've never seen mobilization like it. And everybody has to justify their existence to their constituents
Starting point is 01:32:26 and that's the democratic way. But again, answer the question, though. Some members come to Congress older and they're newer. Some people have been there 20 years and they're younger, but they just got a younger start. So anyway, that is all to say we want to take the talent, the experience,
Starting point is 01:32:45 the values, where they are. So that's all to say that I've been rambling for three minutes and saying absolutely nothing, except for the fact that I've got no intention of ever getting out of office. No way. I'm going to die in this office. I'm 78 years old and I'm continuing to babble on endlessly about how, no, I've got no intention of ever stopping.
Starting point is 01:33:09 And there are, no, no, term limits? Uh-uh. Do I want a young person to take my job? No. No. And by the way, she may have gotten. late start after her children were raised. She's still been there for a thousand years. Not a chance.
Starting point is 01:33:26 Nancy Pelosi came from the kitchen to Congress the way she means it. No. Not a chance. I'm sorry. I don't buy it. And she came later in life. She has, I mean, it seems like she's always been in office. It sure does.
Starting point is 01:33:44 So, I mean, does it say later in life is that 30? was that 35? If she had five kids, you know, she's probably started at what? 14. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know either, but she's been a representative since 1987. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:34:07 I mean, look at, she came in later in life. Later in life. From the kitchen to Congress. You know, from the kitchen to Congress. After her kids were born. After her kids were completely raised. And five kids. I had to take care of.
Starting point is 01:34:18 Wow. that's again the rambling the repetition of phrases and words I mean she did sound she did sound
Starting point is 01:34:31 that she could have possibly been fully medicated last night so everything was I mean that's about as coherent as she sounded in quite some time and that wasn't much no I mean she's just rambling yeah
Starting point is 01:34:41 uh triple 877 back let's go to Garrett Garrett you're on the Glenn Beck program hi Hey how's it going nice to talk you you guys this morning. You too. Okay, so basically I just wanted to address the whole, you know, the Parklands, you know, David Hogg type situation and kind of tie it together with some of the
Starting point is 01:35:01 other left wing pushes that are out there. In the past, I know that Glenn has denounced the Bundy Ranch protesters for protesting idiotically the idiotic behaviors of the BLM. But what is the flashpoint? Because right now we do have, uh, congressional representatives openly advocating for gun confiscations and buybacks with vote unquote assault weapon. We've got former Supreme Court justices arguing for the repeal of the Second Amendment. The, you know, the left always has that point where they're willing to use violence. And they have, you know, and the Civil War once, you know, Abraham Lincoln was elected, they attacked Fort Sunker and that triggered it. You know, that was our tipping point,
Starting point is 01:35:44 where we stepped in and said, all right, slavery is going by by now and we're going to do it by force. I mean, with all of the rights that are being violated right now, I mean, you know, look at Planned Parenthood. That's Jim Crow. That's a eugenicist agenda that is being carried out to the tune of tens of millions of lives lost. And so, I mean, I understand that it's never good to advocate for violence. But in your opinion, is there ever a point at which we use the Second Amendment for what it's designed? Is there ever a point? I mean, it's a, thanks for the call, Garrett.
Starting point is 01:36:19 That's a hard question. It sure is. the answer is obviously yes there is there is a point we're not there not even we're not even close to that no and what we forget about with our founders is that it took them a long time to get to that point as well they didn't jump immediately to that point and take up arms against britain it took a long time and a lot of grievances and many do forget that including myself i mean that's something you don't think about often and it took them a long time to get there.
Starting point is 01:36:52 And it should take us longer because they were doing it all without representation. We have representation. So there's another big difference between us and the founders. We're supposed to handle this through our representation. And when they don't handle it the way we want, we get new representation. It's our fault that we haven't done that. It's our fault that we never do that. And it's our fault that we keep electing the same morons we've elected for 30 or 40 or 50 years.
Starting point is 01:37:18 I mean, that's the term limit argument. as well. Yeah. I'd love to see term limits though. Love to see that happen. I think there's a couple of different things that could save this country. One of them is term limits. And the other is get people out of Washington, put them in their district and legislate from your district. Could not agree more on that. No more meeting at the Capitol building in Washington. You have to stay and conduct all business of Congress in your district online. Yeah. That's how you connect with the rest of Congress online. I mean, I'm even willing to give them, you know, a week a year in D.C. Sure. You could, you could arrange something like that once or twice a year, whatever.
Starting point is 01:37:57 But most of the time, you're right there with your constituents. And you face them all the time. You don't worry about it. You're not facing the lobbyists. Right. You're facing your constituents who put you there. And you're not wheeling and dealing with Mitch down the hall for three hours. That is the, I think that's the most effective change we could make.
Starting point is 01:38:16 Get them home. Put them in their district. that's where you do your legislating. I think that fixes a lot of ills. Ken, in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey. I'll get right to my point. You had nailed it on the head earlier.
Starting point is 01:38:31 You were talking about that kid living with his parents. A lot of that comes back to, we've now had an entire generation almost two that literally would raise with no shame. That's a big part of it. That is one of the flaws. The others are things like no moral compass, no personal responsibility. and no coping mechanisms. And a lot of the problems, school shootings,
Starting point is 01:38:52 that guy living with his parents, the NFL protests, a lot of you can trace back to one of those things because basically people are being raised and they don't have any sense of right or wrong or values or that they themselves are in the wrong. It's always somebody else's fault. Yep. And they were raised because of like participation trophies and everything.
Starting point is 01:39:10 They have no means to deal with it, not that I'm an advocate of bullying or anything, but still it kind of teaches you that life lesson and you have the deal with it, buck up and, you know, move on. But now they can't do that anymore. We end up with things like the shootings. I think that's a big part of it.
Starting point is 01:39:28 I really do. Thanks, Ken. Keith in Texas, welcome to the Glymbeck program. Hey, thanks, thank you, you all. Right to the point, you got a unique 30-year-old snowplake that has a kid, buys his own groceries, gets a lawyer, and does not have a job. Where does he get the money?
Starting point is 01:39:51 Good question. Probably from his parents. Yeah. Thanks, Keith. I bet he gets his money for his lawyer from his parents. I bet he does too. So pathetic. So sad.
Starting point is 01:40:04 AAA 727B-E-C-K. Wow, this is some breaking news. Morgan Freeman is now being accused of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior. by eight women. Is there nothing sacred? Apparently not. I mean, Morgan Freeman is a big fish.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Right? Oh, yeah. I mean, I know Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby and what's his face? Kevin Spacey. Right? Yep. But Freeman's a big fish, man. Yeah, he is.
Starting point is 01:40:40 That guy's got a lot of money. He's a big star. He's absolutely. Absolutely revered by the Hollywood left. They love him. Everybody, I don't know of anyone that doesn't like him. Young production assistant thought she had landed the job of her dreams when in the summer of 2015, she started working on going in style.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Bank High's comedy starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Kane and Ellen Arkin. I watched it. It was cute. You liked it? Yeah. But the job quickly devolved into several months of harassment, she told CNN. She alleges that Freeman subjected, subjected her to unwanted touching and comments about her figure and clothing on a near daily basis. Freeman would rest his hand on her lower back
Starting point is 01:41:21 or rub her lower back. In one incident, she said Freeman kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear. He never successfully lifted her skirt, she said. He would touch it and try to lift it. She would move away and then he'd
Starting point is 01:41:37 try again. Eventually, she said Alan made a comment telling him to stop. Morgan got freaked out, didn't know what to say. And so on. It stopped. It stopped. Yeah, but.
Starting point is 01:41:50 So? So what? It's okay to try to lift up a woman's skirt? No. No. But as soon as whatever was happening was happening that she wanted to stop, when they said stop, he stopped. No, because she moved away and then he tried again. Why didn't she just say stop doing it?
Starting point is 01:42:07 I don't know. They never do. It seems like it seems like they can't. I don't think Morgan's married, right? I don't know. I mean, they made a big deal that he lives with his granddaughter or something. or his niece or some, I got to look it up now who he,
Starting point is 01:42:21 I don't think he's married. I'm not sure. But anyway, but the point is, is that now granted, I'm not saying that it's okay to lift up the girls dress any time you want, but I'm just saying that at that point, this story evolved into,
Starting point is 01:42:37 she felt uncomfortable, when someone confronted him about it, it stopped. I guess so. Yeah, so you're saying what? it's fine it's fine is that what you're saying
Starting point is 01:42:51 I'm saying it's not it's not fine on the set of now you see me in 2012 some of the production staff said he did comment on our bodies
Starting point is 01:43:06 we knew that if he was coming by not to wear any top that would show our breasts nor to wear anything that would show our bottoms meaning not wearing clothes that were fitted, she said. At 80 years old, Freeman is one of, as we've mentioned, Hollywood's biggest stars.
Starting point is 01:43:26 His movie career spans decades, driving Miss Daisy, Shawshank Redemption, million dollar baby. I mean, look the list of that. I mean, this is unbelievable. Yeah, he's done a lot of stuff. Apparently 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman as part of the investigation, eight of whom said they were victims of what some called harassment,
Starting point is 01:43:46 others called inappropriate behavior by him. So it sounds like he says things to women like, hey, a nice, whatever, like that. And they don't like it. So do you ask him to stop? And if you ask him to stop and he does, maybe that takes care of it. I know that's kind of what you're saying, right? Yes. It's like if, you know, if you don't know it's not acceptable, then how do you know to stop?
Starting point is 01:44:15 right? You've got to be told Look, I don't want to hear that from you. 80 year old man Stop Glenn Back Mercury
