Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Pat Gray, Stu Begere, for Glenn today, who is doing a triathlon, right? Yeah. Off the coast of South Africa. South Africa. Yeah, it's kind of cool. I mean, you've seen the physical transformation with Glenn.
Starting point is 00:00:22 He's been training for this for, I don't know how long. He's an incredible. Looks fantastic. Incredible condition. He's a really healthy guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And makes you feel bad about yourself.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Like, you know, sometimes I'll have a meal that's a little bit off. or maybe I won't exercise for a day. Right. And you see that Glenn does not do those things anymore. You can tell. You can tell. So I feel like it's time going to be pretty solid. All right.
Starting point is 00:00:47 AAA 727 B-E-C-K with your comments and questions. And maybe you have some questions like we do on this Saudi Arabian killing. I don't know why we haven't nuked Riyadh yet. I don't know why. I mean, a journalist was killed. Yeah. That much we kind of know. So usually when that happens, we've destroyed the country by now.
Starting point is 00:01:08 It's usually what you do. Right? You just willy-nilly start launching missiles at it. I love the way the media reacts to this stuff. The criticism, the main criticism of Donald Trump, since he's been in the public eye in politics, is that he reacts too quickly. He jumps out. He just jumps into everything.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And he's constantly, he's a loose cannon. He might nuke everybody. Now it's like, why isn't he nuking everybody? Right. He's actually trying to gather facts? Why would you do that? I mean, look, to me, sure looks like something really bad. Yeah, it looks really bad.
Starting point is 00:01:43 But again, all of this comes from Turkish sources. Turkish sources with an incentive to make Saudi Arabia look as bad as possible. So until we actually have the evidence, or at least our intelligence services have the evidence, it's hard to jump to a conclusion and do anything drastic. And the criticism that is coming in on Trump is he's saying, well, look, we need, we've asked for the video, we've asked for the audio that supposedly exists that's been described in media reports, but we don't have it yet. We've tried, we've talked to them about it. We've, we've, we're investigating. We sent Mike Pompeo over there to talk to them about it.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I mean, you have, I think the same people who we heard for years and years and years and years, we did not do enough research in to figure out if there was weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And including Donald Trump, by the way, who was leading that at the time, or at least commenting publicly very a lot on it. Now we're hearing from the same media people that we should be jumping immediately to we absolutely know what happened and how come we haven't punished Saudi Arabia yet. And I think that that's been the transformation of the news is that everything now is seen through a Trump prism. And clearly, you know, the Saudi Arabian explanations have been suspect. First of all, they didn't know anything about it. First, well, he was gone. He left.
Starting point is 00:03:02 We don't know where he went. Oops. Well, we never saw him leave out the front door. Do you have another? Yeah, he went out the back window. I don't know. And then it's, well, okay, yeah, he's dead. We killed him accidentally during an interrogation gone bad.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Though I will say even that is a report from CNN about what they're going to announce. They have not announced it. And they haven't yet. Right. They have not announced that. They've not come out and said that that's true. That is a report from sources. to CNN who said they will be coming out to do it,
Starting point is 00:03:33 or they're considering doing that, but they haven't done it yet. And how do you kill a guy during an interrogation gone bad? I meant to ask you what you were doing last Thursday, and instead, cut your head open with a bone saw. It does happen. Darn it, I slipped. You know how many times I have fallen with my bone saw and sawed up someone into tiny little pieces
Starting point is 00:03:55 and put them in suitcases? It's happened to me over and over again. 50 times in the last three weeks. I'm estimating. Wow. Could be 60, could be 20. Well, you don't keep track of every single time. Something like that happens.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I mean, why would you? I mean, this is why I subscribe to a suitcase delivery service that drops off, you know, a few dozen a day. So you can put the parts in the suitcase and then deliver it to a private plane that takes off. Maybe I'm the bad guy here, okay? Maybe on the bad guy. I happen to run around a lot with my bone saw, okay? I don't think that makes you a bad guy. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:04:29 I don't think it does. Do I occasionally fall on one or two individuals? And did your mom probably suggest, Stu, don't be running around the house of the bonesaw? You know, she did. You can put someone's eye out. She also said, don't eat sugary cereal, and I do that now, too. You know, we grow up, we get responsibility for our lives, and you start making decisions as an adult. And my decision is, I'm going to carry my bone saw around.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And occasionally, my footing isn't so secure. So assume. Right? Right? Exactly. Yeah. At least I'm going through the right steps of cutting them up into little pieces and putting him into suitcases. And I think that's all you're cleaning up after yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:07 That's all you can do is clean up the mess afterwards. That's all you can do. And it's interesting, too, that the media is making a big deal out of every single time they talk about this guy. They talk about him as if he's an American because they always say Washington Post reporter, Jamal Khashoggi. I think he just, he contributed to the Washington Post. Is he actually a staff member of the Washington Post? It's a calmness, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:05:32 And it's relatively new. Yeah. Because he had left, there was a lot of problems over there. He realized he might be on the wrong side of whatever internal craziness was going on in Saudi Arabia. So that's fairly new. And, you know, critics of Saudi Arabia, I think, have a, first of all, a place in the American media that is just, right? Like, I mean, I think it's important that we are able to air those things. But also, you know, there's a lot of opposition to them.
Starting point is 00:05:58 and people don't, I mean, you know, remember, Saudi Arabia was like the main accusation made by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit, was it, Fahrenheit 9-11 was the first one? He's made like, he's tried to capitalize over that so many times. I can't remember which one it is now. But Fahrenheit 9-11, the first one, the biggest political documentary of all time. But in that was just a giant conspiracy theory about how the Bushes knew this guy like 50 years ago. And he's working with this. And they're working with this group that's working with the Saudis.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And it was all about defending the Saudis. and that's why, you know, you don't know the truth about 9-11. Right. So this is not a new accusation when it comes to Republicans working with Saudi Arabia. But, you know, every president has worked with him for a very long time. And it's something that we've been critical about for a long time. Well, they've been our ally since 1933, I think. So, yeah, a really long time.
Starting point is 00:06:48 This goes back to the FDR administration. So it's not just Trump who's been, friendly, I guess, with Saudi Arabia. Certainly Bush was always accused of that being too friendly with Saudi Arabia, but Barack Obama was plenty friendly with him too. Exactly. I mean, they've been in allies for a long time. And there is no way that Barack Obama would have done anything severe to Saudi Arabia by this point either.
Starting point is 00:07:19 He wouldn't have done anything about this. It's a great point, and it shows the problem with 90% of the media coverage today. The difference there is that they perceive Barack Obama as this intellectual, deep thinker who is pensive, right? I mean, remember, I'm bringing up Fahrenheit 9-11 again. One of the other big criticisms of this was Bush was in a school when he found out about 9-11. And he sat there and he let the kids finish the book. And then it took the call and it took him like nine minutes before he walked out of the room. Remember this accusation?
Starting point is 00:07:54 And they showed a large chunk of it. It was a big deal at the time. You know, like, but they saw Bush as this bad guy who was incompetent. Barack Obama waited, what was it, 78 days when he knew where Osama bin Laden was before he did anything? And he was universally praised for this decision. It was the most difficult decision in 500 years since, what was it? Charlemagne. It was the toughest decision made since Charlemagne.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Charlemagne. To go get the worst criminal on earth is, is, is. a tough decision in the minds of people who want to praise. The decision, by the way, we made on about 9-12, 2001 to kill the guy. Right. You know, tens of thousands of military members signed up just to do that. Yeah. They all knew.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I mean, yes, of course there was risk in a mission like that. But this is risk. You talk to any military members, especially people who were serving at that time. And they'll tell you, that was basically the reason they got into it. Yeah. I mean, you know, a lot of people got in just to hopefully get the opportunity to take that shot. So it was not a difficult decision, but Barack Obama was an intellectual thinker. He was a deep thinker that was just considering all these options and weighing all these impossible choices.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And he finally came to the conclusion to go and act on this. The opposite is what they feel about Trump. You know, the fact that Trump is going out there and saying, wait a minute, let's hold on a second. Let's get this evidence. Let's figure out exactly what's going on. Let's investigate this before we act irrationally. If Barack Obama was doing that, it would be seen as he's. a deep thinker. He's not being reactionary. With Trump, it's that he doesn't care. It's all about
Starting point is 00:09:29 money and it's all about Saudi Arabia because Jared Kushner likes Saudi Arabia or something. It's just, you know, the overwhelming problem is that everybody seems to see everything through the lens of this one individual on our planet. They just are completely obsessed with Donald Trump. Yeah. And I just don't, I can't connect to that. I think as a person who's a small government guy. I don't want the president to have that much of a role in our lives, just fundamentally, whether it's Barack Obama or Donald Trump. But, you know, CNN, I think they've made a decision, and MSNBC is certainly on this board, and pretty much every other media source, is that this is our, this is what we do. All we do is talk about every issue and how
Starting point is 00:10:14 it relates to Donald Trump. This is a man who was murdered, potentially cut up into little pieces, maybe by a mistake of falling with your phone saw, but something happened there. And all we could talk about is why Donald Trump is acting the way he's acting. Well, isn't there more of a story here? Maybe that's the story you run in three weeks when you're looking back at this incident. But like, isn't the story now much more about the details of the incident and what happened? We're still in that stage. Yeah, it should be. Breaking news now, Chicago Tribune is reporting the United States just received a payment of $100 million from Saudi Arabia. Actually, we got it on.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Tuesday, the same day Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo arrived in Riyadh to discuss the disappearance of Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia publicly pledged the payment to support U.S. stabilization efforts in northeastern Syria. So I'm sure that this will be twisted into oh, we're not doing anything to them because they just paid us
Starting point is 00:11:13 $100 million. Of course. They're always paying us $100 million. This is our relationship with them. It is. They send us a lot of money and we send them stuff. That's kind of I mean, look, it's not completely insignificant to the relationship, right? I mean, there is, there are these considerations. And that is why when you're making a decision as the president of the United States, your decision is not solely based on, you know, what the media wants you to do, right?
Starting point is 00:11:39 Like, it's about American interests. And that should always be the primary choice. If what the idea, at the end of the day, if American interests are harmed long term by a decision you might make, you have to take that into consideration. It has to be your top priority. Your top priority is not adjudicating murders in Turkey. Right. Like, I don't know if anybody knows this, but we're, a lot of countries that we're dealing with are murdering people all the time. You know, how often do we hear that we should talk to North Korea before, when, now that Trump is doing it, no one wants something to talk to North Korea anymore. So suddenly that's off the table now. But, I mean, this guy's
Starting point is 00:12:15 been doing much worse things. All over the world, terrible, terrible things are happening all the time. The fact that this guy is a journalist or a columnist is a big part of the reason why, you know, I think the media cares so much about it. And they're prioritizing it over, you know, some slaughter in Africa or some terrible thing that's happened in Russia. Right. Like, this is, you know, this is a journalist that they knew that was from, you know, that wound up working for an American newspaper. So it is a big story. And the details around it are so crazy, like such a 24 storyline that I can understand why it captures. the interest. But being patient and making sure you understand the actual facts of the
Starting point is 00:12:55 situation before you act is not a negative in this. Yeah, there's a lot at stake here. A lot at stake. I mean, if you if you just start willy-nilly throwing on sanctions on Saudi Arabia, they're going to retaliate. And it's going to cost not us as much, but the rest of the world is going to suffer in oil. That's what they've already threatened. All right, go ahead and punish us and we'll cut off your oil supply. Well, I think we get. scant little from them, but other people get a lot. Europe gets a lot of oil from Saudi Arabia. So, yeah, you want to make sure you got all your teas crossed and eyes dotted before you take any severe action, I would think. Yeah, look, it's a global market anyway. Yeah. So it's, it all affects
Starting point is 00:13:37 each part of it affects the other parts. And, you know, it's something to consider. Although, I mean, I think making a principled moral decision outweighs that a lot of times. But American interests are, have to be factored in the equation. I think we've seen that. happening too infrequently over the past few decades. And that should start again. AAA 727 Beck is the phone number, our sponsor this half hour, ZipRecruiter.

Starting point is 00:15:18 Is it possible for us to settle on a pronunciation of this man's name? I would like to call a conference of everyone in the world. All media. What are we supposed to call this guy? It's interesting. I heard Kshagi initially. I heard that one on CNN. We're supposed to.
Starting point is 00:15:36 CNN is the first name in news, right? I mean, this is the big one, right? Then I heard Kishogi. Kishoggi. Kishoggi? Kishogi. Yes. Kishogi is the one that I think is, I thought was like the main.
Starting point is 00:15:52 That's what I thought. Right? I thought that was the one. Because we've been hearing that name since the 80s with Adnan Kishogi, who was a big arms dealer. Yeah. And he was mentioned in the Iran-Contra hearings. So this is a name that's been out. It was Kshogi.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah. But that's not a determining factor anymore. Like if you call it Copenhagen for 500 years, and it just turns to Copenhagen one day. Just everybody starts saying Copenhagen. It's Kabul. It's Kabul. It's Kabul. It's Kibul. It's Kabul. It's Kut-It's Kut-Kut-R. Nope, it's Kutter.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And then it was gutter for a while. Remember it was gutter for a while? Yeah. I don't know how this happens. Osama bin Laden, then it was Usama bin Laden. It was Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda. It was Q-U-I-D-A and Q-A-E-D-A, all different spellings.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I don't understand that. So I heard Khashagi initially, then Khashoggi. And now, on the way in today, I heard a New York Times person say Khashoggi. Really? Kishogi. It's a whole new one. And now we're like a week into this story and there's already three different pronunciations of this guy's name.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Can we settle on something? If we want to call him Bob, I'm fine with that. You want to ask, I mean, what's his first name? Jamal. I'm fine. Just let's call him Jamal. Jamal was killed at the embassy. We can all say it was Jamal.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And we'll just all know it's Jamal Kashoggi or Khashoggi. And then whatever the pronunciation is tomorrow. But you're right. We've got to get together on that because that drives me out of my mind. It really is irritating. Yeah, it is. is. It is. I never understood the Usama-O-Sama thing. How did that happen? Why did that happen?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Because it's even less explicable, right? Here you have a situation where it's the name is spelled the same, but we're pronouncing it different. At least you can understand that. Osama went to Usama. They changed a letter. They just said, no, it's not a no. It's a U. It's a U now. The guy went from like mid-range pick in kickball to last pick. It's like, it's like. It's like, When does this happen? You're just changing the guy's dead. And no one ever explained it either. No.
Starting point is 00:17:56 No one ever said, you know, Osama's wrong. It should be Yusama. Usama. Why? No. No, it just started, and the people just started using it. Very strange. It is very strange.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And like some of it, I guess I understand. Like, for example, here we say the tiny little country that James Bond goes to the casino is Monaco. Right? Mm-hmm. If you're over there, they call it Monaco. It's Monaco. Everyone calls it Monaco. I've never heard that.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Here's another one. Here we say Mazda for the car. If you listen, as a Canadian sports celebrity, I do quite often to Toronto Blue Jays games on the radio. They say Mazda. It's Mazda of Toronto. That's really, really irritating. I wouldn't listen to that. I would say, I mean, wouldn't you be pissed off if you're Mazda?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yes. Don't call us Mazda. We're not Mazda. That's not who we all. I've also noticed that jaguars are being called Jaguar. Jaguar! On the commercials. Jaguar?
Starting point is 00:18:55 What? It's like if you come up with a name on your own, maybe you can describe to us how it's pronounced. But when it's a word, we already know, it's Jaguar's a word. And what we've been saying for a hundred years? Stop it. It's an animal. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:11 It's not just a car. It's an animal too. Right. And nobody ever says Jaguars. The Jacksonville, Jaguars. No, I think that's, see, I think that's Jaguar trying to seem refined, right? Like, there's something, there's something a little snooty about the way they pronounce it. Jaguar is like, yeah, it's that stupid animal over there, ripping up my dog.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And this is Jaguar. Would you be that calm if? Yeah, like that. If Jaguar's over there ripping up my puppy. Yeah, it's terrible. But luckily, I fell with my bone saw on top of it, so everything's going to be okay. That happens. It does.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You know, three times last week alone for me, and it was 50 some for you? Well, over the last three weeks. Okay. Oh, okay. No wonder. Triple eight, 727 Beck. Glenn Beck program. With Pat Gray from Pat Gray, which you can now hear immediately preceding this show on the Blaze Radio and Television Network.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And Stu here. But Glenn is at a triathlon off the coast of South Africa somewhere, right? And he's just, you know, because he's such a physical specimen. and he likes to challenge himself. So that's what he's doing today. He claims he's not going to finish any better than third. But I don't know. I think he's got a great chance of winning in the third.
Starting point is 00:20:34 He's very modest. So we'll see how that turns out. We'll give you the updates when we get them. We need to warn you about something that's incredibly dangerous in our society and all too prevalent. And that's Disney princesses. We're being warned by some Hollywood actresses that there's some danger there. Kira Knightley is promoting her upcoming movie, which was produced by Disney, by the way, the Nutcracker in the Four Realms. But she told Ellen DeGeneres on Tuesday that she's not
Starting point is 00:21:05 a fan of every movie the studio is produced because Disney princesses don't uphold her feminist values. So she has forbidden her three-year-old daughter, Eady, from watching certain movies like Cinderella, which has been banned in her. because she waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. And she says, don't rescue yourself, obviously. And this is the one I'm... But she's mad because Cinderella waits to be rescued and does not rescue herself. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:36 She doesn't pull herself out of that situation. She's also quite annoyed by the Little Mermaid. She's banned that as well. She says, the songs are great, but they don't give, but don't give your voice up for a man. Amen. Men. Yeah, thank you. Because a lot of women are doing that today.
Starting point is 00:21:54 It's the main message of the song, of really the entire movie, is to give up all of your rights to men and wait for them to rescue you, especially a rich guy. That's the message you should be taking from those movies. Kristen Bell is also fearful that Disney princesses are sending the wrong message to her children. She's actually the voice of a Disney princess, Anna and Frozen. Wasn't that done by Kristen Bell? Yes. So she tells her daughters Lincoln and Delta that when she reads Snow White, Delta Bell? Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And Lincoln Bell. Yes. And when she reads Snow White to him, she closes up the book and she says, every time we close Snow White, I look at my girls and ask, don't you think it's weird that Snow White didn't ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple? I say, I would never take food from a stranger, would you? And my kids are like, no.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And I'm like, okay, I'm doing something right. Yeah, you've proved it. Wow, you nailed that one there. She did. Then she'll also say, and girls, don't you think it's weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Well, no, because she's in a coma, mom. She can't give her permission and she'll stay in a coma if you know. doesn't kiss her. Right. I mean, she's advocating for the kilma to continue, right? The kiss is what
Starting point is 00:23:22 brings her out of it. Right. And Bell says, because you can't kiss someone if they're sleeping. Well, no. I mean, in most circumstances, that's true. However, this is a notable circumstance, which is why it's a movie and a book. Right. The reason why you know about it is because it's different than everyday life, right? You know, there's a magical apple. There's a prince. Right. With a magical spell on the princess. Yes. And she's sleeping because she can't wake up unless the prince kisses her. That's kind of the premise.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah. So it's a unique circumstance that perhaps your lessons don't apply to. So silly. So weird. You can get yourself so worked up about that. You know what I hope happens every day is every day when she brings breakfast to them, they ask her, well, where did this come from, mommy? I hope they just torture her with this for the rest of her life.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Because, I mean, you could, I can understand this. You know, sometimes I think even, you know, like conservatives get made fun of when they do these types of things. Like when you watch, you know, there's one cartoon that the kids were watching at one point that was, it was just, it was just like a nonstop commercial for recycling. And it was like, oh, is a Captain Planet or whatever. No, well, that is an actual, that one is actually a legitimate effort to change kids minds about environmentalism. Yeah. You know, people who created it actually talked about that. But I don't know what this one would.
Starting point is 00:24:46 It might have been Peppa Pig or something. It's usually Peppa Pig. I like Peppa Pig a lot. And Peppa, it was talking about, you know, recycling or something. I don't know. And how important it was. And look, there's nothing. Recycling, whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Like, I don't have any passion for recycling. I think there's some conflicting evidence as to what good it does. There's been several studies that have shown not much, not much, if any. Clearly, you don't work for alcoa. Apparently not. No. But, you know, like, I don't know. Do I really need a giant commercial about environmentalism on my kids programming?
Starting point is 00:25:20 No. I mean, I feel like no. No. But I mean, you also can get a little bit worked up about that stuff. You know, I mean, you can get a little, a little fired up with trying to find the political messages and these things. Even if they're there. I mean, kids grow up into, you know, adults that can think for themselves. And, you know, you kind of have to at some point realize that you're not going to be able to control every little bit of that.
Starting point is 00:25:42 You can just, you can do your best. And I guess with her values, probably the most important thing is to point out, I mean, she's probably doing, you know, very worried about, you know, she thinks Brett Kavanaugh's are everywhere. And at any point, there could be an assault going on. And, you know, I mean, maybe this is, this is consistent with what she wants to pass along. To me, it's just, it's a little odd. It is. And I remember when people were concerned, conservatives were concerned mostly about some of these Disney movies because of the things that they put in the Disney movie. like in the, is it the rescuers or the rescuers down under?
Starting point is 00:26:17 One of those. There's a scene where the character is going down a street on, I don't know, some type of vehicle. And there's a woman in one of the buildings they pass that's naked for just a split second. I remember hearing about this. Yeah, yeah. So conservatives would talk about that and it would be, oh, stop it. You can't even see that. It's subliminal.
Starting point is 00:26:44 You don't even know it's there. And then there was the Lion King scene where Simba, as a grown lion, kind of plops down on the side of a cliff. And the dust shoots up and forms the word sex, if you freeze frame it. Remember that? Remember that? But we were insane for talking about any of that stuff. Oh, please.
Starting point is 00:27:09 That's nonsense. sense. But you're supposed to tell your kids, you need to ask where that apple is from. Why do I need to eat the apple? It's essentially she's saying that rape culture is happening at Disney. Yes. And that's a terrifying message I would think to send to children. Terrified. I mean, although we've had this before.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I mean, the one I always think about is Willie Wonka in the Chocolate Factory, which is a movie I freaking love. I mean, I love that movie. But how about the scene where they're just going through the tunnel? and all of a sudden, like, in really quick, like, subliminal things, you see, like, a chicken get its head cut off. Like, why the hell is this in this children's movie? It's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:27:48 That whole scene is terrifying. It's like... I don't remember that. Oh, my God. Like, they go through this tunnel and it's, like, really, like, psychedelic and weird. And, like, it's supposed... I remember that being... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Look close. What's going on in there? It's not good. There's some really scary stuff. So a chicken gets its head cut off. Yeah, like, there's like a close-up of... Why? You're making me think...
Starting point is 00:28:08 I don't know. I think it's supposed to, the scene is supposed to set the like off putting, like he's supposed to give you an off putting feel, right? Like it's supposed to be like things are all, everything's twisting around and like it's, dimensions are almost changing and like all these strange things are happening. And you see like the scary, what was the guy's name? With the, with the Everlap, he wanted the everlasting gobstopper and he kept harassing the poor kid for it. And then he worked for Willy Wonka at the end.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah, I don't remember. Oh, God, I want to say Squidward, but that's SpongeBob. I've got a lot of things messed up in my mind. Maybe none of this happened. And then he's going through it and it's supposed to give you that weird, like you're almost dizzy feeling. And they flash like a bunch of really fast images. And one of them is like,
Starting point is 00:28:49 they're just cutting a chicken's head off in the middle of it. It's very strange. So we've been tortured with this stuff for a long time and look how well we turned out. The world's fine. Right? Everything's going really well. Right. So I can't see how there'd be any downside.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I guess you can get to that point where you're over. you're over parenting, right? Oh, definitely. And that certainly seems to be the way, you know, that things are going now. We recently started letting our son try, because I listen to Lenore Skenezi a lot. She's been on the show before. She started an organization called Let Grow and Free Range Kids. And basically her mission in life is to make... Let kids do some things? Yeah, like, you don't need to helicopter parent over them all the time. She's famous for she lived in New York. still does I believe. And she let her nine-year-old go on the New York City subway system by himself. And she was called the worst parent in America. And honestly, my immediate reaction when I read that story initially was she's the worst parent in America, right? Like you're nine-year-old on the subway by themselves?
Starting point is 00:29:56 Like, I can't even imagine the amount of panic I would have. But then you kind of step back. I don't think I could do it either. But you step back and you say, well, wait a minute. like George Washington was like, I think he won the Revolutionary War at eight years old or something. Like this is, we went through a long period of time
Starting point is 00:30:12 where people were supposed to be as kids a much more self-sufficient. You know, I know when I was a kid, like we would leave the house and we would go play at a friend's houses that all the time. All the time. We'd be gone the whole day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:25 And that whole thing about us coming back and, you know, you come back when it gets dark or when the street lights come on. And like it's, we use that a lot of times to signify things were safer and better than. Well, that's not even true. I grew up in the 90s. This is like the 80s and the 90s, more of the 80s, but still, like I was in high school
Starting point is 00:30:45 in America by far than now. Much more dangerous than now. This was a much, I mean, the crime rates were all higher. Murders were higher. Kidnappings were higher. Everything was worse. School shootings were at the rate of four times what they are now when I was in high school. And I didn't have a minute of panic over a school shooting in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And I think we get to that point where we're just, we get so freaked out. We recently had our, you know, we have her son like walking, walking our dog, a little chore, and he's doing it by himself. Just up the street a little bit and back. And I can tell you just that freaks me out. Like, it's everything in me not to walk to the end of my driveway and spy on him to make sure he's okay the entire time. And I don't know why that is. That certainly isn't how it was when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Yeah. And I somehow lived through it. I think that's a, the instinct there is to just make sure you're mentioning every little thing that you think could go wrong in their life so that if that thing does go wrong, you can't blame yourself. You know, it's like, it's almost a selfish instinct where you're just like, well, at least I told them. I remember telling my kid 500 times not to go down dark alleys and they went down a dark alley and, well, it's really sad, but at least it's not my fault. That's not a really healthy instinct for a parent. I do feel like that is at the basis of it because of course you don't want, no one wants anything bad to happen to their kids. but it's additional to that.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Like you don't want to be the person who let your kid walk down some street and where something terrible happened because everyone's going to look at you and say, what the hell were you doing allowing them to walk down that street? Why weren't you there? So it's like a double whammy. And I think that leads to a lot of that over-parenting stuff. And I'm sure this is the boat she's in, Kristen Bell, right? Like she's trying to protect me.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Look, you're not going to say anything to a four-year-old reading Cinderella that's going to protect them from rape culture. that's not going to occur. You're never going to be able to solve this problem you believe is so prevalent by a story you tell them after reading Cinderella or watching it. Or The Little Mermaid or any of these Disney movies because they're already going to be messed up from Simba falling down and blowing the word sex into the air from the dust.
Starting point is 00:32:58 That's going to mess them up. A lot of teen pregnancies. comes from that. A lot of them. Triple 8, 727 B-E-C-K. This is unbelievable. We are looking into the original versions of some of these princess stories,
Starting point is 00:33:17 the fairy tales, that have been Disney-Fied over the years. And Kristen Bell is shocked by them and warns her daughters about him, and so is Kieran Knightley, despite the fact that both of them have been in Disney movies. But if you're too
Starting point is 00:33:32 go back and look at the original version of say Sleeping Beauty, it's shocking, shocking what that what it entails. In what way? Well, for instance, in the original version, the very
Starting point is 00:33:53 original version of Sleeping Beauty, the king sneaks into Sleeping Beauty's castle and rapes her. And she wakes up pregnant. What? Yeah. Wait, what do you mean? This isn't a dis... Is that amazing?
Starting point is 00:34:05 The original, like, story? The original story from an Italian guy, GM Batista Basile. That was his original story. Now, they took a lot of his original stories. Charles Peralt in the late 17th century and then the brothers Grimm in the 1800s took those stories and reworked him, changed him a little bit. But the original was, like, really horrible.
Starting point is 00:34:30 When you say they reworked him, they cut down on the amount of... of rapes? Yes. Was that one of the things that they... Sexual assault was something they decided,
Starting point is 00:34:37 you know what? Maybe for a children's book, we don't include that. What if we cut back the rape by 20%? Yeah. What if we did something like that? Is that something you'd be open to?
Starting point is 00:34:46 I'm thinking like 100? Oh, wow. Okay. 100% on the cut back of... Yeah. Because that's pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. So even these tame versions
Starting point is 00:34:57 that we see today, those are still offensive and horrible and you can't let your kids see them, I guess. It's amazing. Yeah, it's amazing. It's interesting what we, the way these standards change. We should get into this.
Starting point is 00:35:10 There's a new report on Louis C.K. Out today. Maybe we can get into that later on today. Because it's interesting the standards that are being applied here. Like I, I, people just. From the same thing like him asking for permission and then granting it and. Yeah. And like now is he allowed back on stage?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Or should he be allowed back on stage to ever work again? And it's so fascinating. You know, this comes from the left who have launched massive programs to employ former, you know, convicts of crimes that are much worse. Yeah. It's amazing. Pat Gray and Stubergier for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, AAA 727 B-E-C-K. You can join me for Pat Gray unleashed immediately preceding this particular program. We'll wake up and get you ready for a Glenn show every morning, Monday through Friday.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Kobe Bryant is the latest victim of the Me Too movement, apparently. He was invited to an animation film festival to be a juror about some of the new animation films that were coming out. And they invited him to be part of that because he just won an Oscar, actually, for his basketball movie. And so he agreed to do that. And then the Me Too movement reminded these people that, of course, he's been accused in the past. and 15 years ago he was accused of rape. Now, those charges were dropped, and so the whole thing was adjudicated.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Now, it used to be that if charges were dropped, you were considered to be not guilty, right? Of whatever offense you were charged with. Where did you come up with that idea? Oh, is it in a mansplaining university? Constitution. Could it be patriarchal college? Is that the, is that where you went?
Starting point is 00:37:01 No. I'm not familiar with it. Yeah, it's a thing that you don't really need to pay attention to anymore because it's really old, really old. You know, it's really seemed to be a high priority of the founders. Yeah. To make sure that people weren't accused of crimes and punished for them with no evidence and no way to give someone due process. Due process seemingly important to the founding of this country. Seemingly, but it's no longer important because just the accusation is enough.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I guess ruin you. I mean, Kobe Bryant went on to have a really good career. And he, I don't know, just a few years after he was accused, maybe even the next year he signed a $136 million deal. So his life was okay. However, when it's affecting him now 15 years later, and it's already been worked out in whatever way, the 19-year-old refused to testify against him,
Starting point is 00:37:58 they dropped the charges. that used to mean, okay, he wasn't guilty. But now it just means you're tainted for life if you've ever been accused of anything. Yeah, I don't know if it's like this constant barrage we've had for the past few decades of CSI and law and order. But every institution's not supposed to be investigators. They're all supposed to be able to solve crimes that the police can't solve. They're all supposed to know more information. You know, this happens in the NFL all the time and the NBA.
Starting point is 00:38:27 It's like there's a crime committed and there's an accusation. they'll just release the player. It's like, well, wait a minute. Don't they get a chance? Right. I mean, it's one thing. Maybe if you have video or something that really proves is that something went down, just these accusations many times before trials will be enough for them to just, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:44 throw the player to the curb. And it's over. And it's like, well, you know, and that is not the responsibility, nor should it be of an employer. An employer should not be investigating an alleged crime of an employee. We have a legal system to do that. who really got in trouble by going down this road was the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church kept investigating their own accusations of pedophilia instead of bringing it over to the police and saying, hey, there's some real situation going on here.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Can you check it out? They tried to handle it internally. Colleges do this today. They try to prosecute students. They've actually got rape courts at school. Yeah. Which is insanity. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:39:25 It is not, you are not taking a situation seriously if you bring it to rape court. at a college. That is not the place to these are serious crimes and need to be dealt with in the legal system. And when you try to go around that and you try to say, well, we know better than the police. We know better
Starting point is 00:39:44 than the investigators because I don't know, it really looks bad or I don't know, it really looks like this happened. That's a terrible direction to go and lead you down awful roads where you're trying to judge things that you can't possibly judge correctly. Yeah. And it's
Starting point is 00:40:00 it's going to be interesting to see how this progresses in a year or two or five from now with Brett Kavanaugh because there was nothing to back up his accusers claims. There was no corroboration. There was no evidence at all of these allegations from 35 plus years ago. And yet, I just saw an article today from Democrats looking at other ways besides impeachment. on how to remove a Supreme Court justice from office. Just unbelievable. So you're going to try to remove him from the Supreme Court bench when there was no corroboration and no evidence.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah. And, you know, first of all, I think once we get past this election, the Brett Kavanaugh stuff is going to die down quite a bit. Because, I mean, you've seen, when's the last time you've seen Dr. Ford? You know, you don't hear, occasionally you'll hear from Anita Hill 20 years after, right? but it's more like a retrospective or it's tying into a new story. You know, they'll still hate Clarence Thomas and they'll always hate Brett Kavanaugh. But, I mean, it never was about these allegations. There was never a moment in which that story was about the allegations.
Starting point is 00:41:12 It was always about the opportunity to stop Brett Kavanaugh from sitting on the court because they thought they had a chance of winning the Senate and could block the next justice and maybe they wouldn't have to deal with another conservative on the court. That was 100% of it. for every single person involved with the possible exception of Dr. Ford, which you could at least say maybe she went through this, and certainly she only brought it up now because of the Supreme Court. So it was definitely part of her calculus there.
Starting point is 00:41:39 But, you know, if she really did go through this, you know, that's a different story. We don't know. But the other people, Cory Booker did not care for one second about what happened to this woman. Not at all. Not even for a second. No. He only cared about what happened to him so he could call himself Spartacus and eventually make himself.
Starting point is 00:41:56 to a 2020 candidate. And the same thing with Kamala Harris, and the same thing, all of this. All of these people, they didn't care at all. And look, it's clear with things like Keith Ellison, which is currently going on, which actually has evidence behind it, which is going on currently,
Starting point is 00:42:11 which is actually gone to the police. And again, if what we find out is that there's nothing to it, you have to, just like I would with anybody else, say that he, you know, is not guilty and should be able to do what he has to do. But if you're judging it by the standards that they're putting up, it's totally different.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Let me put this in, I thought this was fascinating. Think of how recent this Brett Kavanaugh thing was and absorb that story back in your mind for a moment about what we were trying to find. Dr. Ford comes up and testifies and says, I know these people, they were there. None of those people say that they remember this incident.
Starting point is 00:42:50 She didn't tell anybody for a very long period of time. There was no, she couldn't remember where, the house was. She couldn't remember whose house it was. She couldn't remember how she got there. What day it happened? What day happened? What month? It happened. None of it. Right. None of it, right? And we were basically, the insinuation from the media was if, let's say,
Starting point is 00:43:11 one of the witnesses she named, instead came out and said, yeah, I remember that party. And I remember her being really shook up. And she left, and I remember being very strange. And she was weird for the next three weeks. She was just like, you know, very distant. And I didn't know what was going on. And now I know. if you would have had just that, I think the media would have been in... I mean, they already were in full in conviction mode,
Starting point is 00:43:30 but I don't think Collins and Flake would have held on through something like that. Just one person saying one thing, not as witnessing the incident, but just she heard about it in the general time period. Just one. We're looking for one who even knew that the party occurred. Not that the incident happened,
Starting point is 00:43:46 just that the party occurred. Listen to this. This is from 1999, from Slate, the hardcore right-wing publication of Slate, talking about the accusation of rape, not sexual assault, not sexual harassment, but rape against Bill Clinton. Broderick's initial denials indicate only that she shunned publicity.
Starting point is 00:44:08 That's why she never reported the rape, rebuffed advances from Clinton's political enemies, who in 1992 urged her to go public. So they had to ask Broderick about this in 1992 when he was running for president the first time. And she said, no, I'm not going to tell my story. So she had an opportunity. to take down this president
Starting point is 00:44:26 did not decide to do so. She lied to Paula Jones lawyers about the incident to get out of talking about it. She eventually told the FBI the truth in 1998 only because her son, a lawyer, advised her against lying to federal investigators. So she didn't want to tell the story
Starting point is 00:44:42 to tear down the president. She told the story because she thought she was going to get like perjury charges or something against her. Five people say Broderick told them about the rape immediately after it occurred. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:57 So not looking for one person who was at the hotel or at the party in the Cabinac case. She had five people that she told about the rape immediately after it occurred. A friend and co-worker named Norma Kelsey says 21 years ago she found a dazed Broderick with a bloodied lip and torn panty hose in their shared hotel room. Broderick explained that Clinton had just raped her. Clinton is supposed to have bitten her on the lip right before raping her. Her current husband, then her lover, says Broderick told him about the rape as well within a few days of the event.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Broderick did not remember the date of the rape, and that's the one similarity here. Though she did supply the name of the hotel, the Camelot. And the reason she was visiting Little Rock, a nursing home seminar. She also says that Clinton pointed to a ramshackle prison outside the hotel room window before he raped her and said he planned to renovate it. So Clinton in the middle of about to go through a rape is like, by the way, I'm going to renovate that prison over there. Dork. NBC News found a date in which a nursing home seminar was held at the Camelot Hotel and record show that Broderick attended. Newspaper reports suggest that Clinton was in the area and had no official commitments in the early morning when the rape is supposed to have occurred.
Starting point is 00:46:14 There was a prison outside the hotel window. Wow. That is a thousand times the amount of even alleged evidence that occurred. with Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. And yet that was ignored until the very second the Clinton family became useless to the Democrats. And now, yeah, you'll see occasional people saying, yeah, we should have handled that differently. Or I'm with you guys. That's a total me-to moment.
Starting point is 00:46:43 That only happens now after they never want to hear either one of their stories ever again. To them, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family is not guilty of this rape. It's not guilty of that. They're guilty of blowing an election to Donald Trump. And that's why they have no more use for them. But, I mean, Bill Clinton goes along and still makes big level speeches. Oh, yeah. He's able to do all of these things.
Starting point is 00:47:06 This is a much more credible accusation. And Paula Jones had a lot of evidence, too, including corroborating witnesses of what happened there. It's a situation with a double standard that is so bizarre. And the fact that the media actually thinks we should take. their current stance seriously on this stuff is insane. The stance is and always has been you should be taken seriously when you report a crime against somebody else. That crime should go through the legal system with actual standards and if they're held responsible for this crime, then we can all understand what happened. I mean, that is what, that's the system we have.
Starting point is 00:47:46 It's the best in the world. And the idea that we're now supposed to go through these kangaroo courts and even worse than that, I mean, even worse than the kangaroo courts, it's like, Oh, well, I don't know, kind of seems like maybe he could have done it is now our standard. That's insanity. It's insanity. And yet you have Hillary Clinton speaking out against Brett Kavanaugh and defending her husband. And they just asked her what the difference was between the two. And she said, well, yeah, they're completely different because my husband's improprieties were looked into for a really long time.
Starting point is 00:48:23 this was looked into for a week. Well, there was substantial evidence, as you just pointed out, into all of the claims made by other women and Bill Clinton. And the other difference is she went after and tried to destroy every single one of the accusers. That was a big difference. Nobody's trying to destroy Christine Blasey Ford. Nobody's trying to destroy even the others that are making outrageous allegations against him that are completely uncorroborated.
Starting point is 00:48:56 The exception of Michael Avanotti, which I think the Democrats are currently trying to destroy. Because they are so pissed off about that. And they do not want him running for president. And they do not want the circus there. So they are very much trying to destroy him at this point. But what a clown he is. He is.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah. I mean, it's embarrassing. You thought Michael Cohn was a bad lawyer. And then Michael Avanotti introduced himself to you. But it's so bad that even Trevor Noah, who's the, I mean, I thought John Stewart was unfunny. This guy is unfunny to about the one millionth power.
Starting point is 00:49:31 But Trevor Noah on Comedy Central the other night took on Hillary Clinton. And to his credit, actually said some accurate things about her. And whether or not she's the best person to be speaking out on sexual allegations. Here's what he said. In retrospect, do you think Bill should have, have resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky's candidate. Absolutely not. It wasn't an abuse of power?
Starting point is 00:49:58 No, no. There are people who look at the incidents of the 90s and they say a president of the United States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern. The power imbalance is too great. Who was an adult. But let me ask you this. Where's the investigation of the current incumbent? No, Hillary.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Oh, I'm sorry, man. Look, here's the thing. That's not cool. it was different in the 90s, but today I think we're all understanding that there's a massive power imbalance between an intern and the president of the United States, right? I mean, forget intern, a president with anyone is a power imbalance. Like if President Obama texted me, hey, Trevor, you up? I'd have to let him smash. Yeah. And then he'd be like, actually, I just want to know if you were watching the game. And I'd be like, oh yeah, I knew that. I knew that.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Of course I did. Yeah, yeah. And what's also not cool is Hillary trying to deflect and make this about Trump? Like, you're not in a position to be throwing stones at someone, Hillary, especially when you're literally sitting in a glass house. Other than the power dynamic thing, what he is saying there is really amazing because nobody takes her on like that on the left. But I don't buy into the power dynamic that nobody can say a no to the president of the United States. Of course you could. I mean, don't you, wouldn't you certainly try to raise your children to grow up to be people that would say no to the president of the United States? Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. You don't, you don't let him do whatever he wants to because he's the president.
Starting point is 00:51:24 And this is a side thing. And it may be a longer conversation. But Monica Lewinsky is not a me-to victim. She is not. Right. She is, she was a willing participant in an old-fashioned affair is what she was. And could have said no. She could have said no.
Starting point is 00:51:39 She absolutely should have said no. He obviously should have said no. And from his perspective, you know, he's the president of the United States. He is doing things that he should not be doing. but like it's totally different than Juanita Broderick or Paula Jones. These are totally different stories. She was a, she was in love with the guy. She told Linda Tripp, she was in love with him.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Like she thought that they eventually were going to be together and be married. This was not a situation in which she was like, oh, wow, I'm scared for my career, for example. Like that's the thing that it's a power imbalance. Well, there's an implication, even if the person doesn't do it, there's an implication that maybe they'll ruin your career if you don't hook up with them. which first of all is prosecuting a crime before it occurs. Like you're just assuming the person's going to commit a crime and ruin your career over sexual stuff. But that's a whole different story. That's not what happened here.
Starting point is 00:52:31 She was a willing participant in an affair. She was into it. And she was also, by the way, in the one point that is valid from Hillary there is she was an adult. We should not be excusing all actions by 23-year-old women, right? Or 23-year-old men. You are an absolute, you are responsible for your own actions. at that time. No question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 AAA 727 BECK. We have a sponsor this half hour. It's My Patriot Supply. I mean, if you've seen the news, you may have noticed some hurricanes hitting lately. We've had such a great time there with over a decade of no hurricanes hitting the United States. And we've been hit hard the last couple of years. When the power goes out, when something hits with a little warning, this hurricane Michael was certainly a situation.
Starting point is 00:53:15 And earthquakes are like this all the time. When there's breaking news going on, it's too late to start preparing. That's why you need My Patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply will hook you up with two weeks of food for $75. Two weeks. You could spend that easily at one meal going out. Maybe skip one meal. Go get your two weeks of food from My Patriot Supply.

With Pat and Stupe for Glenn today and tomorrow. Let's go to Seth in Pennsylvania. you. Hey, Seth, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, guys. How you doing? Good.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I'm laughing when you were talking about kind of her reading those stories and how we kind of make fun of the reaction. Well, believe it or not, that kind of stuff could really impact you. I'm 42. Today's my birthday. Happy birthday. Oh, thank you. And I laughed because when I was about seven, there was an episode of the Smurf.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And the Smurf is this French socialist cartoon. And I'll never forget it because the Papa Smurf left the village. And Brainiac declared himself like king of the Smurfs. And the other Smurfs rebelled. And there was a war among the Smurfs because no one should be king. And that singular message when I was a kid stuck with me my whole life. And it's kind of why I became a libertarian. It's why I went to law school.
Starting point is 00:55:15 and I argue the way I did. It's why when I teach college, when I teach the classes, it is this singular message of no man is a king. That is fantastic. No man could ever be a king. And you learned it from the Smurfs.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I learned it from that, I will never forget it that one singular message. Amazing. Thanks, Seth. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. With Pat and Stu, AAA, 727, B-E-C-K. there's this there's an interesting thing from the New York Times today
Starting point is 00:55:53 and it is they do this little podcast in the morning called the Daily and today's was about Louis C.K. And whether Louis C.K. And whether Louis C.K. should be allowed back on stage.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Ever? Ever. Um, well, he did things in front of girls. Right. After he asked him if he could. Yeah, and that is. And they said yes. An odd part of this saga
Starting point is 00:56:13 with him in particular is that there doesn't seem to be much of an allegation. Much, if any allegation. of him doing something that... Against anybody's will. Right. Like, he would ask, they say yes. Or there was one case where he...
Starting point is 00:56:31 Again, like this is the level of the accusation here. He was accused of calling up someone. And while he was on the phone with the woman, the woman believed that he was pleasuring himself while on the phone with her because I guess he was breathing heavy or something. And she couldn't hang up because of the power dynamic? The power dynamic? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:56:56 The power dynamic makes you do all sorts of things. Okay. Because as a comedian, he wields incredible power in this country. Now, look. Incredible. He could have her fired at any job in the nation. Any job. Your sarcasm is just reality in this situation.
Starting point is 00:57:13 I was like, what? That's actually what they were. saying. They were saying that she... Oh my gosh. Some of the people were other comedians. And at one point, one of the accusations was he walked up to another comedian and they were talking and I guess he thought there was a vibe there or something, invited her back to his trailer to do his thing in front of her, which apparently was, this is his schick. And she said, actually, you know, you have a wife and a child and you should think about that.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And he said, ah, I know, I'm sorry, you're right. I have issues. And that's the extent of the allegation. He didn't do it. He didn't force her to do it after that. He didn't do it. And then they had that conversation. Gosh, that's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:57:53 It's obviously icky, right? Yeah. But, I mean, again, he asked her to do this thing. She said, no, reminded him of his wife and child. And so he said, ah, you're right. I have issues. I am sorry. Like, that is, is that sexual assault?
Starting point is 00:58:05 What's even the accusation there? I know that's not sexual assault? He asked the question, what she answered. Right? And he did not pursue it after that. It's unbelievable. There's, you know, so I, it. he admitted to being a dirtbag, right?
Starting point is 00:58:17 And he admitted in such a general way that people kind of make it. Well, he admitted to these things. And he did admit to, I've done a lot of things wrong. I've tried to figure out a way to make them right. And I think that what I just described to you is obviously wrong. Yeah. Like it's a wrong thing for him to be doing. But is it a crime?
Starting point is 00:58:37 Is it a crime? I think the answer to that clearly is no. And the idea that, you know, Louis C.K. because he's a famous comedian can affect other people other comedians careers is theoretically possible but that is that enough for a crime
Starting point is 00:58:52 the fact that he wants to have he wants to hook up with someone who theoretically he could hurt their career if they say no but there's not evidence that he did this to anyone so it's a or would even do it to anyone right I mean you know again you're just making a weird assumption there yeah and we just assume the crime like this is the sort of stuff that minority report was
Starting point is 00:59:12 supposed to scare us away from, right? You're not supposed to just assume people will commit crimes in the future. So he's on, listen to this. This is the guy who runs the comedy seller. Now, comedy seller is famous New York comedy club. Like, it's a tiny, it's like a hundred people can watch comedy there. And if you go there, you'll see a lineup of comedians every day. And, and, but it's famous for people, random people that are incredibly famous just stopping about. You go in there to see some comedian you never heard of. They're probably pretty good. But you got like a one in three chance. Maybe. Chris Rock walks in and does a set, or Jerry Seinfeld comes in and walks a set, or Louis C.K. walks in and does a set.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Well, apparently, this is the first place he went as he's tried to do this. He's bounced around to several clubs around New York since, and they let him on stage. So the New York Times does an exhaustive report about trying to talk to the club owner about why you let him on stage. This is a clip about how he's trying to determine the decision. Listen. Other people were just upset that he should ever work again. But one guy said he was a comedian. And I'm like, okay, when do you think he could come work again?
Starting point is 01:00:17 He's like, never. I'm like, never? He says, never. I said, well, could you imagine any court of law handing down such a sentence, never work again? He says, I don't care, never. This is an admittedly provocative question. But I wonder, as the honor of his place, what you would say,
Starting point is 01:00:35 particularly to a female customer who is here. But, you know, I know when Bill Clinton, who was credibly obviously accused, Wanted to eat a broader regard. I mean, I think nobody will expect a warning before he shows up somewhere. Nobody. Like, why were they cheering Roman Polanski, as they were for years? Why were they giving him standing ovation? The director accused of sexually abusing a young...
Starting point is 01:00:57 Not accused it, he did it. But behind all these people you're mentioning, Roman Polansky, the film director of Bill Clinton, the president, Louis C.K., the comedian, is someone who gives them a stage. And in this case, that's... That's you. Right, but I'm saying nobody cares that Mike Tyson, who raped or was convicted of raping somebody, performs. I guess you can only control the venue you control.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Yes, but it's not unusual to expect some consistency in the world. And when you see wildly inconsistent demands, if it's so obvious that the guy who masturbated in front of women and exposed itself and women should never work again. I mean, that's amazing. The irrational of, okay, but you let this guy on who did much less than they are. And you shouldn't have let this comedian perform on your stage. Right. And the fact that nobody cares about these other people, the same people, by the way, who want him to shut out Louis C.K.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Didn't care about Clinton, didn't care about any of these. other circumstances, but he's supposed to. Yeah, and I will say he was really smart about this. Yeah, I mean, he made some great points in this interview. And the New York Times reporter was just constantly trying to say, well, yeah, but you did this thing and you allowed it and trying to put it personally on him as to why he made the decision, which is an interesting part of the story. But, I mean, he made the point as well of, look, what is the line?
Starting point is 01:02:34 We don't allow him Louis C.K. to work. So what does that mean? Does he go on the government dole? Does it, or can he work at other jobs? Can he work? What if Louis C.K. got hired by Walmart? Would that be okay? And I think it's a fascinating question.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Can he never support himself in life again? And the idea that this guy has not been punished for this is insanity. Yeah. The man was making $10 million a year and he's probably now making, I'm, was he making at a comedy seller appearance, $50, maybe $500? I don't know, nothing. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he just walks in and does it because he wants to do it. he has, you know, paid for this in a large way.
Starting point is 01:03:13 And, you know, it's certainly affected his career in a big way. He's lost movies. He's lost jobs. But, I mean, we saw this with Charlottesville. There was a guy who... And again, we're talking about a consensual act. Yeah. A consensual act.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Every time he actually did it, it was consensual. And there was one case in which, as we discussed, the woman said, no. Another case on the phone where we don't know what happened. Another case where he started doing it. the woman left because she didn't want to be part of it. Well, good for her. That's what she should do. She should walk out and think he's a loser and tell all of her friends that he's a loser. But that does not mean that he should be losing jobs 10 or 15 years later. Charlottesville is another great example of this. Look, we saw the people. We played the video and the audio of, you know, Jews will not replace us and all these crazy chances from the real dirtbags in that Charlottesville carrying torches and, you know, the deepest darkest corners of the alt-right, right?
Starting point is 01:04:07 One of the guys who attended the rally and was in some of those videos was identified as a man who worked at a hot dog stand in California. He was fired from his job at the hot dog stand. Now, how is this a good outcome for anyone? Now, look, if he is saying to black customers, I won't serve you because you're black, obviously, we get that. There's no indication that ever happened. indication that that ever happened. He did his job seemingly right for everyone. He was serving hot dogs and making hot dogs. It was not like, you know, he was not in the high levels of finance here. And so now we can all feel good about ourselves. The power dynamic of a hot dog vendor,
Starting point is 01:04:51 though, is such that it's too intimidating for other people. That's true. So I guess now we can all feel good about ourselves with the fact that we are instead of him having a job at a hot dog stand, Instead, we will support him with our tax dollars because he's going to be at home and all these projects and programs that liberals have created over the years to support people in need are going to go to this white supremacist who can no longer hold down his job at a hot dog stand because we're too morally above him. It's crazy. I don't want to ever hang out with a guy who would go to that rally and carry a torch and say Jews will not replace us. Never. But I mean, what we do is we just find every one of these guys. Do you want a Jew to replace you?
Starting point is 01:05:36 You know, that's a question. I've never considered. Do you want that? I would rather not be replaced by anyone, ideally. But I never have considered. But does that include a Jew? I guess, I guess. I don't want a Jew to replace me or anyone else.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Yeah, it does include that. But I really don't want anyone. It's just a, it's a weird thing we're dealing with because, you know, Finding someone in a video and identifying them online gives you this sort of rush of, I've outed this terrible person and I can punish him. Who are you really punishing? I mean, are you, certainly you're punishing the taxpayers of this area who now have to support this loser,
Starting point is 01:06:16 who actually somehow was able to hold down a job selling hot dogs and now has to sit inside, probably playing Xbox, while you're paying him to do it. I mean, what a win. let's all celebrate that one. I don't know. It's a strange direction for us to be going in, is it not? Yes. Yes, it's nuts.
Starting point is 01:06:35 It's absolutely crazy. So maybe the answer is they just can't be alive anymore. I mean, it almost comes down to that because if they can't support themselves, and certainly the state, you don't want them supported by your tax dollars. Right. So I guess all people who are accused just starve to death now. Yeah. I guess that's what it comes down to.
Starting point is 01:06:58 I guess that's the way it works. And it would be nice for us to find some consistency in this world. You would. You know, the fact that like, you know, if you were to say the Me Too movement, I bet to most people, sure you get Harvey Weinstein mentioned. And you might get maybe Kevin Spacey or one of the other two, you know, a few big stars. But what you would almost definitely get is Donald Trump and Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh. And every conservative or anyone even supposedly leaned.
Starting point is 01:07:27 right that you can think of that was accused. Those have all had huge play in the media. I mean, what's the percentage? 95% have been on the left. It's all been Hollywood and news media people. And I mean, it's been almost everyone has been in those industries. And those industries obviously lean incredibly to the left. So the idea that this is a right-wing phenomenon,
Starting point is 01:07:51 I mean, it just seems like people who are on the right pay the price for it where people on the left, you know, don't necessarily see that the same way. And, you know, I think you have to get to a point where someone like Louis ZK., who was, I think, accused correctly of being a dirtbag, right, to his own admission. But not, not any, nothing that was over this line of sexual assault, at least is not as reported. You know, you have to look at these things as they stand. Aziz Ansari is now doing shows again. And he was accused of something. You know, what's his face from the New York Times?
Starting point is 01:08:32 He's back. Glenn, what the heck is his name? I don't want to get it wrong. Thrush, right? He was accused of harassing young interns and other underlings, and he's back at work. We have this weird saying. I mean, Mike Tyson, it's pretty clear. The man was convicted of rape, not accused.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Convicted of rape, spent time in prison. Yeah. And he's like the darling of the media. He comes on. He has a silly appearances. They seem to have a problem going anywhere of doing anything. And look, he's served time and he's out, right? And so you can make the case as the left has made forever that people who go in felons should be able to come back and vote.
Starting point is 01:09:09 They have programs to give felons and convicted felons and murderers jobs. But when someone's accused of something, much less than murder, they can never work again. And not even convicted, just accused. Just accused. Yeah. It really doesn't make any sense. AAA 727 Beck is the phone number. It is Pat and Stu for Glenn, who is traversing currently the Mediterranean Sea in a canoe.
Starting point is 01:09:36 He's always wanted to do it. And he finally said, you know what, this is the week. And he's doing it alone. Alone. Which is amazing. Which is amazing. I don't know if there's a webcam. I'd heard that there would be a boat going next to him with a webcam so you could see all the action.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Uh-huh. No, I think he attached the webcam to the canoe, and it's just him. It's just him. Just him. Canoeing across the Mediterranean Sea. Wow. It must be a waterproof. It must be like a GoPro because it would have to be waterproof. Yes. It's a long journey. We think he's back Monday. But we're not entirely sure. But when he's done with the Mediterranean Sea, he's going to canoe back. So we're hoping he gets back by then. He's going to have to get really fast with the canoe. But we'll get into that here in a little bit. He's a good canoe. He's quite the canoeist. By the way, Glenn, another thing he did was tell me initially about American financing.
Starting point is 01:10:31 American financing is a great company who they're able to not deal with all these commissions and not be incentivized to give you bad loans. They actually are, we've seen some slowdowns in the home sales, but not for first-time buyers. First-time buyers are going crazy buying homes. And to keep up with the first-time buyers entering the market, you need to. a reliable lender that can process your loan fast. American financing can do that for you. They offer dedicated mortgage consultants and in-house underwriting to secure financing for your dream. Really, it's the American dream to get your home. And if you want to get it done fast, you need to act fast. They've been around since 1999. They've got all the great reviews on Better Business Bureau and Zillow and Google.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Give them a call today. American financing 800-906 2440. That's 8009062440 or online at Americanfinancing.net. That's Americanfinancing.com.net. Manning Corporation, NMLS-182334, www.nmLSC Consumer Access.org. It is Pat and Stufer Glenn today, AAA-727-B-E-C-K. We've got to show you just how loving and inclusive and diverse the left is.
Starting point is 01:11:41 We'll share another really good example of that, how they love everybody. You know, and they're just, and they're so kind and loving and accepting and tolerant. That's the beautiful. to you. Tolerant. What happened to that word, by the way? It's not a thing anymore. You don't tolerate anything
Starting point is 01:11:58 anymore. If you don't believe exactly what they want you to believe, there's no tolerance. There's a lot of people on the left who have dealt with that. And that they've, they're on 90% of the stuff, but you fall down on one issue to the progressive gods. Look out. Yeah. Give you some examples. Coming up
Starting point is 01:12:17 on the Glenn Beck program. Pat and Stu for Glenn today. A triple eight. 727 B-E-C-K. We have some great news about the wonderful, loving, and tolerant, inclusive left. And, you know, just how great they're treating people right now. For instance, there's a tracker for a liberal super PAC that was arrested Tuesday night in Nevada for assaulting a female campaign manager for a Republican candidate for governor, grabbed her, twisted her arm behind her back, squeezed it, bruised her,
Starting point is 01:12:58 jammed her upside door, people had to pull him off of her. Just a little disagreement there over, you know, their candidates. And he was just expressing himself in a loving way. Sounds like it. Yeah. And then there's the Minnesota Democratic Party has suspended a spokesman for calling for violence against Republicans. even as two GOP candidates were assaulted in suspected politically motivated attacks. What were they wearing, though?
Starting point is 01:13:28 What was the GOP wearing? Probably something that provoked the attack. Yep. Maybe a red hat. Yeah. One of the staffers also called for bringing Republicans to the guillotine. I think Glenn talked about that this week. You know, it's...
Starting point is 01:13:45 What do they do to deserve the guillotine, though? It's probably their fault. Well, it is. They're pro-life. You can't have that. Nope. They want to take away a woman's right to choose. Of course they need the guillotine.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Sean King, who is the white black guy, who is a Black Lives Matter activist, but a white Black Lives Matter activist. So he's a white guy that says he's black. Yes. But he's not black. No, he's not black. Okay. I just want to be sure what you're saying is that he is,
Starting point is 01:14:19 he's saying. saying that he's a black person, but he's actually a white person. He's actually a white guy. Yeah. But he said, as I've said before, but I need to say it again, I'm grateful for Antifa. It's weird that it's politically incorrect for me to say so. Oh, so weird. It's so weird because, you know, you should be able to love a violent group like that who is, you know, rioting around the country.
Starting point is 01:14:43 It should be fine to say you love them. He said, I'm glad that we have people in this country who stand up to fascism and bigotry and are willing to confront hate face to face. Thank you, Antifa. So that's beautiful. And then, you know, it spills over into people like Ted Cruz. He and his wife Heidi, of course, at the Washington, D.C. restaurant where people, the mob got in their face and started yelling and chanting at them.
Starting point is 01:15:10 And then he was just walking through an airport. Do we have the video of Ted walking through the airport being heckled? Here he is, being approached by an angry woman in the airport. And it was a victory for women in America. You think they're putting a sexual assaulter on the court? Is it a victory for women? Thank you, sir. God bless you.
Starting point is 01:15:26 So you believe in men-assaulting women. That's what you're both passed today, so. I believe in due process. You believe in due process. Lots of women were out there talking about their stories, and you don't hear. Do you believe in a man lying about his alcohol in front of the Senate and forgery? You believe in perjury? Thank you for expressing your First Amendment rights.
Starting point is 01:15:44 So why do you support a man that abuses women? Shame on you, tell you. God bless you, Ted Cruz. Shame on you, Ted Cruz. Shame on you, Ted Cruz. Shame on you, you psycho. I'm so tired of it.
Starting point is 01:16:04 I can't. It's hard. I would not have handled that the way Ted Cruz did. No, no. That would have been. Handled it beautifully. But, are you okay with a man lying about his alcohol consumption?
Starting point is 01:16:16 Well, do you, how did he lie? What do you lie about? He said he drank two excess from time to time. Yep. What did he lie about? The idea is that, well, other, because other people around him were like, well, I think he did, he did black out. How the hell do you know if he blacked out or not? Only he would know that.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Right. You know, maybe he did. I don't see how that's all that. There's no way to know that. There's a conversation. But still, there's no way to know it. It's a ridiculous thing to complain about. And, you know, this is one of the most annoying parts about this is the subtle accusation that everyone who's
Starting point is 01:16:52 supported Brett Kavanaugh was a terrible person. Even from people like you, there are people on the left that you know, I'm sure, as I certainly know them. And they were against Kavanaugh because they believed, you know, Dr. Ford. Mm-hmm. But the accusation there is similar to almost, it's implicit, essentially, in everything that they're saying, which is they accuse us of believing Ford in a roundabout sort of way. They're accusing us of saying, we know she was assaulted.
Starting point is 01:17:22 and yet we still want him on the Supreme Court. Right. And like, no. What we're saying is if we thought he was a sexual assaulter, we wouldn't want him on the Supreme Court. We just don't believe he is. You have not provided any evidence to bring us over that line. Right.
Starting point is 01:17:36 And just because you happen to believe it, with no evidence, by the way, you happen to believe her. It's your prerogative, but you can't, don't accuse me of thinking her story was credible. I didn't. I didn't think her story was credible.
Starting point is 01:17:51 I don't think it happened. Yeah, I don't either. If it happened, I think it happened with somebody else. I mean, maybe, but even that is a, I don't think it happened at all, to be perfectly honest with you. Now, of course, I can't prove that. I wasn't there. But when something like this happens, and it's the same thing that happens with any big public official in this way, if you have someone who doesn't report something and doesn't even tell their friends for multiple decades,
Starting point is 01:18:20 then talks about a party. that they couldn't remember where it was, and then they tell you the people who were there and they can't remember the party. Like, what are we, and the person who's making the accusation has an overt dislike for the party of the person
Starting point is 01:18:37 that they're accusing. It's a person who has been an activist, has marched at women's march rallies, is an obvious Democrat. Like, you have to take in that motivation 40 years later into account. I always start, at skepticism. I have this idea. Basically,
Starting point is 01:18:54 I think of people almost as like, it's going to sound bizarre, but I think of people almost like as innocent until they're proven guilty. It's a weird way of thinking about it. Yeah, I know. I know. I don't jump right to the guilt. You don't believe the survivors? No, no. Well, you don't believe survivors?
Starting point is 01:19:10 But if you're a survivor, that indicates that this event occurred. Calling her a victim or a survivor indicates that you know the event occurred. I would never call them a victim. I call them survivors. And I believe them. They survived this assault by this man. Yeah, but if the assault didn't happen, they didn't survive it. Right. You know, I guess we can all call ourselves survivors because
Starting point is 01:19:33 we're all alive and we've technically survived everything that's happened to us in the entire life. Look, I don't know what her motivation was. I don't know it's possible. A million things are possible. What you said is possible. It's possible it really happened and we're misjudging the evidence. Why would she make it up? Why would she lie about it? That's a good question, because I love this one. What possibly could be your motivation to come up with an accusation like this? I don't know. Could it be political?
Starting point is 01:20:02 We talk about, yeah, I know. We talk about the women's right to choose. It is defended as if it is the life of a baby, not the ending of one. I would defend my children's lives about as strongly as they defend their right to kill their children. It is the most important thing in the universe to how many millions of Americans? The idea that you wouldn't do something to take out a guy who you think is going to overturn that right that you think is so vital is insane. We've seen far crazier things happen. We saw an accusation last week where five, five accusers accused a high school student of sexual assault because they, as they later admitted, didn't like him.
Starting point is 01:20:49 We have hoax allegations that have come through all the time. People paint swastikas on their own garage. They write, I don't like your lifestyle on receipts because they're trying to blame people for being against being anti-gay. This happens all the time. You know why? People are horrible. Many of them are awful. Their women are awful.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Men are awful. They do terrible things that you can't explain. It happens all the time. And the idea that they wouldn't do that with this on the line. People are writing swastikas on their door for nothing to, like, say, well, I was a victim of anti-Semitism or I was a victim of white supremacist. Not with the entire Supreme Court on the line. Of course you could find someone who's going to falsely accuse, which they did. We know for a fact, the fifth accuser recounted his allegations after he made them.
Starting point is 01:21:45 We know the fourth accuser didn't even bother to write any information. on their letter, including their name or where they lived or when it happened. We know that the third accuser went to Michael Avanati and no one, including Democrats, believe them. We know that false accusations were littered all over this story. The only two they even seemed credible to even Democrats were the first two. And in the second one is there's a giant asterisk there. The person who made the allegation said, I was told by someone else, so again, was not a witness.
Starting point is 01:22:17 I was told by someone else that something like this happened. But I couldn't locate them. All right. Well, I guess you could maybe take that seriously until the media did locate the person and that person said, no, it didn't happen. And she had to spend six days with her attorney to remember it even happened. Exactly. Exactly. There's no corroborating evidence on that one either.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And look, the Ford one was only, I think, taken more seriously than the others because there wasn't an obvious person saying, no, it didn't happen. right like there were and all the other ones they were there were those people there just was no evidence proving that it happened here and of course obviously people like cavanaugh and his his witnesses were saying no but that one was serious because she went and just you know took the step of going in front of the hearing and and doing a relatively credible job at recounting what she believed the story was who knows if it was true or if it was completely false the idea that you can't pull one person out of the united states who opposes abortion so much that they're going to make a credible accusation against someone which is completely false. It's just an ain't. Of course you could do it. Of course you. I mean, as we heard with Hillary Clinton, she said there was a vast right-wing conspiracy of people doing this. Like, the media access if it's this entirely foreign world where someone could lie about politics. Of course. Of course it could happen. And I think likely did at least in four of the five cases and probably in all of them. And you brought up the high school situation in California where they call it the mean girls situation.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Yeah. Where the five girls accused this one 17-year-old boy of sexual assault. And they asked the first accuser why she would do this. And she apparently told students that she would do anything to get this kid expelled from school. And they did, accusing him of sexual assault. And then the second one said, I just don't like to hear. hear him talk. I don't like to look at him. I just don't like him. That's why they accused him. It's incredible. It's incredible. Or how about the Ohio University student who got threatening notes
Starting point is 01:24:31 about how they didn't want her in her LGBT lifestyle to be in the student Senate anymore at Ohio University. She was angry and frustrated and disappointed. She said, you may find me revolting and worthy of a threat of my life, but in reality it's your beliefs that are repulsive. You need to get this through your head, you effing, a whole. I am proud to be who I am and nothing could say or do or ever change that. By the way,
Starting point is 01:24:59 the decision, of course, admitted to sending the threats to herself. Jeez. Or the woman And why would you do that? Yeah. Why? What could her motivation possibly be? It's hard to detect in this case. It's not hard to detect with Brett Kavanaugh. Or the
Starting point is 01:25:15 woman in Texas who said a state troopers sexually assaulted her until, of course, the cam footage came out and her own attorney had to say, we're sorry for bringing this case. We didn't know about this at the time. Or the charges against the four dentists accused in Las Vegas of raping people. And that was also found to be completely false and untrue. Or how about the racist receipt? We don't tip a terrorist to an Arab person at a restaurant who, again, later on had to admit that yes, he actually actually actually wrote the stuff on the receipt. Wow.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Or the former college student who claimed a rape and then it had to admit in court that it was completely false on Long Island. Or a Kansas man who said he put racist graffiti on his own car. Or the racist note at St. Olaf College. If you remember this one. That was one where they talked about once again, this terrible racial note. everyone apparently racism is rampant all across
Starting point is 01:26:19 F your white complacency all over the place what we find out later of course not true we could go on and on and on and on with these stories they happen all the time How many times have you spray peated on your car
Starting point is 01:26:30 Go home Cracker Go back to Ireland You Cracker It's a tough example For me 112 But I think I think That's a very specific
Starting point is 01:26:40 And you know it's something I like to do That's a unfair question It's just fun It is a lot of fun. People ask why. It's just fun. Got no enemies. I'm not even trying to frame anybody.
Starting point is 01:26:51 I just like to do it. I like the way people look at me when I go through a drive-thru. When they think that I've been called a cracker and told to go back to Ireland where I came from. Sometimes they throw in a small extra fry? Yes. They feel bad for me. I'm a victim. I'm a survivor.
Starting point is 01:27:07 I'm a survivor. And I believe you, Stu. You do? automatically. But I told you it didn't happen. I still believe you. Thank you. AAA 727 Beck is the phone number.

We go through the numbers here all the time. If you hear the daily segments or we go through the polls, you know, the House looks particularly tough right now for Republicans. You may be seeing some new Democratic governors. All the progress that we've made with the economy, which has been really positive, has a chance of going away.
Starting point is 01:27:42 You're not going to be able to pass new tax plans.

Police in Chicago left directly into action when they found a posting on Snapchat. Somebody posted on Snapchat.
Starting point is 01:28:59 A photo. I can barely say it. I can barely get the words out of a toy gun on Snapchat. Put it right up there. He was holding it. This kid, 18-year-old kid holding a toy gun. But fortunately, the Chicago police went right into action and found him almost immediately. They located him and arrested him and put that to arrest.
Starting point is 01:29:29 What was the charge that they arrested him for? Genocide. Or attempted genocide because he posted the photo of a toy gun. And, you know, with that toy gun, who knows how many people. I mean, he could have put an eye out. I have a good idea of how many people, zero. Yes, it's probably, yes, zero is right. It's hard to kill people.
Starting point is 01:29:52 They actually arrested him for disturbing the piece. The photo of the airsoft, it was an airsoft gun, was disturbing the piece. I mean, that's amazing, isn't it? That's also, I mean, that cannot hold up. I wouldn't. I wouldn't think so, but the community is applauding the police swift success, the swift success.
Starting point is 01:30:15 in locating and arresting him is due to the timely information provided by numerous concerned teens and adults, as well as the cooperation of the Parkridge Police Department and the Cook County Sheriff's Police. Is this?
Starting point is 01:30:29 It was a multi-department operation to get this kid. Wait, does this story come around though? Do we hear at the end? By the way, they found out it was an Airsoft gun and now he's been released? No. This story?
Starting point is 01:30:42 No. Uh-uh. Because, I mean, if let's just, just say you had a realistic looking airsoft gun, okay? That maybe lost its little orange. I assume they all have the orange thing on the end that shows that they're fake, right? But let's just say that fell off or something.
Starting point is 01:30:56 Okay, or he painted it black. Right, let's just say. He's walking down the street or he's walking towards a school. I can understand someone passing by and be like, oh, what the hell's going on and the police? And what happens is they show up and they talk to him. Oh, it's an airsoft gun. All right.
Starting point is 01:31:10 See you later. You got to get that thing. You got to get the orange piece or people are going to freak out. And then you release them. Right. Let's say the maximum penalty, but look, we're going to take the gun. We'll return it to you later. Instead, they found the airsoft gun in his truck and arrested him for disturbing the piece.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Did they realize it was an airsoft gun? Yeah, they knew it was an airsoft gun. They said it was an airsoft gun. And they're still being congratulated for their swift success. I don't know. I don't know. What are you going to do with an airsoft? I mean, if you shot somebody in the eye.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Yeah, you're supposed to wear goggles, right, when you're playing that. It would hurt. You might put an eye out. My mom warned me about that when I was a kid. But other than that, I don't know what you're going to do with the airsoft gun. That's so dangerous that they had to arrest the kid. When they found out, it's an airsoft gun. But he wasn't even walking down the street.
Starting point is 01:32:02 No, he posted a photo. He didn't threaten anybody. Didn't say I'm going to use this at school. None of that. Very bizarre. Pat Gray. Stobergear. And joined by
Starting point is 01:32:17 Jeff Fisher Some would call him Jeffie Others call him Fatso But that's wrong We don't like that We chastise people who call him that Do you?
Starting point is 01:32:29 We do severely Do you? We sure do Try to remember when that happened Well, a lot behind your back Because we don't like people to call you Fatso to your face And so we chastised them
Starting point is 01:32:43 When they do it behind your back And that's a great point Pat We should just, before we get into this conversation, we should point out the name of the segment, of course, chewing the fat with Jeffrey. Right. But that just means it's a conversation, you know. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:57 It's also, I believe, the fastest growing podcast in America right now. Yes. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Is it really? I mean, I'm calling it that. Okay. Right. You don't have scientific measures on that, but I know the numbers are really good,
Starting point is 01:33:09 lots of new subscribers. Yeah, it's growing really fast. Yeah, I'm real happy about it. It's fun. Monday through Friday, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay. 4 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Eastern. You can take it home.
Starting point is 01:33:19 Up every day. Good to go. You can also listen to Pat Gray unleashed between 7 and 9 Eastern time, 6 and 8 Central. Live. Live every day. And then that's posted by about 8.30 in the morning. Oh, so you got plenty of time to listen to you and then me. No problem.
Starting point is 01:33:37 I mean, you could also listen to the radio show that we're on. You could also listen to the radio show. You have all these options. Which is podcasted as well. Yep. Right. Lots of good options. posted everything.
Starting point is 01:33:46 And then according, as long as we're just promoing the heck out of everything, don't forget, I'm Pat Gray on Leashed. More on Trivia is back. Oh, right. And tomorrow will be the first time in the long time we've done it in the morning. But we're five wins, one loss. Yeah. I mean, it's been a great season so far.
Starting point is 01:34:01 Right. Looking good. So very cool. Check that out tomorrow's second hour. We've had some very, some very intelligent contestants. As always. As always. You'll be even worse in the morning.
Starting point is 01:34:13 People would have coffee and they're going to be trying to be trying to. to answer these questions. It's going to be hard to get them on the line, though. More trivia. That's the problem. In the morning. Yeah. It's going to be hard.
Starting point is 01:34:21 So, Jeffrey, what do you have for us today? Well, I just want to, this is the last couple days of me working, and I'm sure you're happy about that. But, you know, I'm going to, you know, the lotto, the powerball. Oh, you're going to win it this time? $900 million, though, you say. $900 million. Wow.
Starting point is 01:34:37 For which one is this? Mega millions? This is mega, yeah. This is mega, yeah, for Friday's drawing. The other one wasn't one either Powerball. They didn't win. No, they didn't. And on Saturday, that's $430 million as of right now.
Starting point is 01:34:49 That's not even worth. That's not even worth playing. It just bumps into a different tax bracket. That's not even worth doing it. Are you going to bother to enter either one of these? Yes. Yes. Oh, my gosh, yes.
Starting point is 01:34:59 You have a strategy? Once we lose hope, Stu, and then the country's gone. Without hope from the lottery, the country is done. If you don't play the lottery, the terrorist win. Yes, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. That's a fact.
Starting point is 01:35:11 Now, the cash payout, though, from mega, $513 million. That's not bad. Well, but I hate this, though. This is like NFL contracts. Like, he's just signed a 10-year, $900 billion contract. $100,000 is guaranteed. It's like, well, why do you just tell me what the contract is? The same thing here.
Starting point is 01:35:27 You're like, if the payout is $513 million, then the lottery is $513 million. It's not $900. Well, you don't have to get the payout. Yeah, you don't have to get the payouts, too. You're going to take the 20 or 30 years. If you don't get the payout, your, because that money's not going to be there. No, it is not. I guarantee that money won't be there.
Starting point is 01:35:45 there. What is the actual, if you were to take the annual, what would you get? Do you know? No, I don't. Because I, again, like Pat said, if you were to do that, you'd be dumb. Yeah, you got to get it in the bank. You've got to take it, take all of it that you can. I mean, there's an argument for, let's say, a Jeffie, okay, who may not be as fiscally responsible. There is that argument, yes. That at least they're, hey, there's a check coming in for the next 30 years. At least you'll know you'll live the next 30 years. But, well, not, you know, I mean, you can't guarantee your health. So Jeffie, very, very. well, may die of multiple ailments and diseases that he holds, but still at least there'd be money coming in.
Starting point is 01:36:21 There is that argument, but the worst argument I think in today's world is that that money's not going to be there. There's a good chance. There's already some lotteries that are, there was some in Indiana for a while that we're saying, you know what, we're going to pay you, but no, we can't pay you right now. And we already started here. Wow. You know, we're, I think it was Indiana. It was either Indiana or Illinois that said, you know, we're not going to pay right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:45 So if you take the 513 up front and after taxes, that would be, what, 350, 380, something like that, that's a lot of money. You get 380 and you bank that, you're set forever and so are generations of your family if you're not a moron. If you're a moron, it'll be gone by next week. But if you're not a moron, that will last you for generations of... Yeah, that's a family fortune. That's forever. continue to grow. Yeah, it should be forever.
Starting point is 01:37:16 Your great-great-grandfather won the lottery. That's why I'm not doing anything. I mean, that's not bad. Yeah. And if you win both, ooh, now you're talking. Now you're talking to life. Because your life with $513 million would not be that great.
Starting point is 01:37:32 But if you could add on a couple hundred million on top of that, that's when you start to feel like. Now you'd be okay. Now you're okay. Now you're okay. And you're like, you know, I'm going to give 30% when I go out to a restaurant. That's when that starts happening. It's that time.
Starting point is 01:37:45 When you get to like 900, you know, 950, you just splurge. Is it time to stop that? The waiters expecting tips. Is it time to stop that? Yeah, maybe the restaurants pay the waiters a decent wage and then I don't have to worry about paying that tip unless they do an outstanding job.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Because now they expect it. They expect me to pay them. It's part of their salad. Yeah, they expect it. I had a very high-level job as a Chili's waiter. for a couple of years. And the minimum wage at the time, I believe, was 427 an hour. And you got for what, two?
Starting point is 01:38:20 And I got 212.12 an hour. It was my, was my hour-ly-being. Wow. Now, of course, that's, the reason is because you're getting tips and you're going well over the minimum wage, right? And did you? And you did, of course. I mean, you know, it was not hard to get $2 an hour in tips, even for me.
Starting point is 01:38:36 And I was a crappy waiter. But $2.12 an hour. The check would come in. After two weeks, it would be like $60. I mean, you wouldn't even cash it. It's not even worth it. Yeah, it was almost like you felt dumb. It might probably spend 60 bucks on gas getting to the bank.
Starting point is 01:38:54 Seriously. Yeah. Yeah, that's ridiculous. It is. It's kind of bad. You know, there's also, for you, Stu, I was thinking of you. Well, as I was reading this new study on the burger chains, having failing grades with their antibiotic use and their meat.
Starting point is 01:39:07 I know. I know. 25 burger chains reveal a very different pattern. Now, there's a new study, the chain reaction burger edition. And if you thought it was going to be slanted, no. It's produced by Consumer Reports, along with the Center for Food Safety, Friends of the Earth, the Food Animal Concerns Trust, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Yes. Those are some of my favorite agencies. Thank you. Friends of the Earth and the Resource Defense Council. Those are two. I mean, you want to talk about awful environmental. organizations. Those are at the top of the list.
Starting point is 01:39:46 But high use of antibiotics in the beef industry is terrible. It's killing people. It's terrible. Right? So there's only two restaurants that, you know, fast food chains that got A's in their beef that they don't use any beef with antibiotics. Burgerfi, which I've never been to. Never heard of that.
Starting point is 01:40:04 And Shake Shack. Oh, really? Right? I know. Shake Shack, man. Oh, that, yeah. I want to go to shake shack. Let's go right now.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Well, let's leave. Let's just leave right now and go. I just kind of want to put the microphone down. Walk out of the studio and go to ShakeShack. It's so good. All the other fast food restaurants failed, except for Wendy's who got a D-Minus, because they have now committed to sourcing a small percentage of beef.
Starting point is 01:40:32 They got a D-9us. Who minimize, they don't eliminate, but producers who minimize the use of medically important antibiotics. So once in a while, you're going to get a burger It doesn't have any biotic. And what is the antibiotic and the burger doing to us? Is it making us... Their claim is that it's making us resistant to the antibiotic chains.
Starting point is 01:40:54 The hardcore left-wing environmentalist groups are saying there's bad things in there. Right. Which that means absolutely nothing to me. I'm guessing there's worse things than antibiotics in there. Like, you know, cow poop and that kind of stuff that gets mixed in. Oh, yeah. They just had a... Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Seriously, because some of this stuff is not done really well. Did you see this report on La Croy water that came out? I think it was this week. No, yes. It's like a sparkling, like... Oh, yeah. I want to say it's fruit flavor, but it's not.
Starting point is 01:41:21 If you've ever had a drink of it, like, you could be like, wait, what is that? Oh, I can taste a tad bit of lime. It's like not as, it's not flavored like anything. It's not good, in my opinion. I'm not a fan. But they tried to come out the same thing. Like, oh, well, there's an ingredient here that's included in this terrible thing.
Starting point is 01:41:36 And you go through it, of course, of course, at the end of the day, there's absolutely nothing to the report. Because that is what, you know, medical journalism has come to. It's especially about food. They just try to say, like, well, this ingredient is included in some other thing that sounds scary. Of course, you don't eat nearly enough to come close to any problematic area. Like, we are constantly, you know, we can't. I mean, some of us.
Starting point is 01:42:05 I shouldn't say that with Jeffrey in the room. That's a good point, Jeffrey. Some of us need to be concerned. Yeah. If you're eating as much as nine horses. would eat. Well, okay. You know, Jeffrey falls into that category. But I mean, it's just, we get so scared about these things, and 99% of it is nothing.
Starting point is 01:42:22 Like, you can go and you can have all the things that they say you can never touch, you can have, as long as you don't go crazy with them. As long as you're not constantly eating them all the time, you're going to be okay. And honestly, most of the stuff, even if you are eating it all the time, you're probably going to be okay. I mean, we're pretty resilient creatures here. I mean, this is from a guy who's in the past. drank Roundup So you know.
Starting point is 01:42:47 Right. Exactly a commercial from my viewpoint. But yes, I have had a couple Sips of Roundup here and there to prove that that as well has no. And you're still on this planet.
Starting point is 01:42:57 I am still alive. They're making headway with the chicken company with the companies that are using chickens because you've got Chippole Pinar and Chick-fil-A number one. They use chickens without antibiotics. Did you just use the Al Sharpton pronunciation of Chipotle?
Starting point is 01:43:10 Chippole. Chippole. Chippole. did. You just accepted that that's the way it's pronounced. I don't call it anything else. Seriously, I don't. Really?
Starting point is 01:43:17 I can't see it on the sign. I can't read. It's Chipotle. It's Chipotle. Mitt Romney went to a Chipotle. Went to a Chipotle. He was trying to criticize. He went to a Chipotle.
Starting point is 01:43:27 That was that whole montage where Sharpton can't read the telepromp for? I can't call it anything else with that now. I'm sorry. That's just that's the name. Okay. But it's good that, you know, Subway and Taco Bell, they're all trying to play along with their chicken. You know, they're using chickens with less antibiotics or zero antibiotics.
Starting point is 01:43:45 So we're good there. But my favorite story is we talked a little bit about this on Pat's show a week or so ago. The gluten-free dishes that are at restaurants now that everybody so, well, everybody has to be gluten-free now. Yeah. Everybody is ridiculous. Everybody is gluten-in. Nobody. If you're a celiac or whatever that is, that's one thing.
Starting point is 01:44:08 If you have the celiac disease, you probably should make. have gluten. And look, and there's, there's, very few people have that. How dare you? I know. How dare you, Pat Gray? I know. There's approximately one percent of the U.S. population with that disease, okay?
Starting point is 01:44:23 Whoa. Why then are 83% of people avoiding gluten? Why? There's a weird, like, this happens with a lot of these issues, where, like, people are mad at you for accusing them of not having celiac disease. I was like, well, I don't know. I think that's a great thing. You don't want celiac disease.
Starting point is 01:44:44 It includes my daughter because for a while she was on that kick. Oh, yeah. I'm like, you don't have celiac disease. You are not allergic to gluten. Stop it! It's the same thing like. The Kavanaugh hearings, like all these people come out and they're accusing Kavanaugh and they're like, how dare you not believe them and they're fighting? Like, wouldn't our thing be better if it was true?
Starting point is 01:45:05 Wouldn't it be great if these women weren't assaulted? Yes. Like, wouldn't it be great if global warming wasn't killing us? Maybe we should at least consider these things and not get defensive of doom. Right. They're defending. No, you must believe that we're all going to die in 10 years. You must.
Starting point is 01:45:20 I'd rather look at the facts and try to decipher it. But there is that passion. People really hate it if you tell them. Yes, they do. I'm sorry, you're going to live. No, I'm not. Damn you! The good news is when you order the gluten-free at the restaurants,
Starting point is 01:45:38 odds are it's not. Not glue is not? At least a third. Is that true? At least a third. They did studies and went to the restaurants and at least a third is not glute free. That shows how much nonsense this is, right? I mean, if it were real and people were really having these allergies.
Starting point is 01:45:55 It would be lawsuits. Yeah, huge ones. Yeah, I mean, they'd be breaking out. You know, they'd have the sea. If you really have it, I mean, you can not breathe and, you know, it's a serious thing. It's a serious thing. It's just that for whatever reason, everyone wants to lump themselves in this new victim. status. I can't eat gluten.
Starting point is 01:46:13 Triple-8. 727 P-E-E-C-K. Glenn back. With Pat, Stu, Jeffie. You got some news about an unfortunate event. I'm still in mourning. I mean, we discussed a little bit about
Starting point is 01:46:30 the morning process yesterday on chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher, my podcast. And Dennis Dennis Hoff passed away. It's been sad. It's been sad. Who's Dennis Hoff? Who's Dennis Hoff? The pimp of Nevada. The Pimp of Nevada.
Starting point is 01:46:46 Oh, of course. The Love Ranch. There's only one. That's it. The Love Ranch. I mean, all of it. Most famous. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:54 Is it the Bunny Ranch? HBO Cat House. HBO series. I mean, that's all Dennis. That air for 12 seasons, by the way. Cat House on HBO. What? Twelve seasons.
Starting point is 01:47:04 There's a, there's a, so there's a show on HBO based on the. Yes. On the ranch. Dealings. His business dealings. I would say. The craziest part I thought was that he, because he was 72 years old, he's also running for, what was it? State legislature.
Starting point is 01:47:20 And he was like a big Trump guy, right? He liked to think he was a big Trump guy. Same kind of Republican kind of thing. Yeah. And he, you know, was. He unseated the Republican that was in office in the primary already being that hardcore, you know, down the line. They think a heart attack. Yeah, I mean, they just, they found him in the bed.
Starting point is 01:47:38 His friend, Ron Jeremy. Yep. The, you know, the star who's been in a bunch of movies. Yep. Oh, a bunch of movies? A bunch of movies? Okay. By the way, also at the birthday party with them,
Starting point is 01:47:53 Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Clover Norquist. Oh, and Heidi Fleiss. And Heidi Fleiss. Glenn, back. Mercury.
