G-E-N-U-C-E-L-com slash Beck. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn, who is still a little bit under the weather. The breaking news on Britney Greiner, she's been released now. Yeah, she's coming home. Yep. Coming home, be home for Christmas.

Exchange her for the merchant of death. It's just so good. Isn't that great? It's so good. I mean, could you possibly, we've traded the merchant of death for a WNBA player. Which makes, now look,

first off, I want Brittany Greiner. back in the United States. There's no doubt about it. Many times. I want her back. I'm glad she's coming home. That is a good part of this story. And I'm glad even though she was, I don't know, in favor of the kneeling or whatever it was back in the day. I don't care. Bring her home. She's an American. She's an American citizen. She's an American citizen. She, I don't know. We don't know the truth whether she was guilty or not. But there's a good chance she wasn't guilty. She may have been guilty. But either regardless, the punishment does not fit the crime. at all. And obviously the Russians

were holding her as a chip to hurt us as this is going on. So we understand that and I'm glad she's coming home. The reason why I don't think it's worth focusing on that entirely is because everybody agrees on it. Everybody wants Brittany Griner to be here

instead of in a Russian death camp somewhere in Siberia. So we all get that. Obviously there was a priority and they should have been negotiating for her release. Sure. the next part of that, Pat, is the merchant of death. Yeah.

Okay? Yeah. Now, the merchant of death is, he's an arms dealer. And the reason I know a good amount about the merchant of death, and I will say, there's a chance

some of the stuff I know about the merchant of death is false. And the reason for that is because Lord of War is one of my favorite movies. It's a Nicholas Cage movie. It's an obscure Nicholas Cage movie.

And I love it. It's a great, great, great movie if you've never seen it. Now, of course, it's got all sorts of liberal messaging throughout. It's a very anti-gun. It's very anti-war. Blah, blah, blah, blah. But it's a great freaking movie.

And it's the story of this guy. Now, they name him something else because they want to take a little liberty with the story. It's based on him. It's based on a true story. But this guy was kind of a low-level guy. He was kind of a low-level guy, trying to be an arms dealer, rose up the ranks of this. this illicit arms dealer world. And one of his big innovations in this, in this moment was at the fall of the Soviet Union,

he kind of took advantage of the chaos. He went in and negotiated with some of his, he was Ukrainian, I believe, and some of his relatives and people he knew that had high-ranking military positions in the old Soviet army. Soviet Union falls. They're now there with giant stockpiles of weapons. the record keeping's not there anymore. There's no oversight anymore from the Soviets.

It's over. It's dissolving. So he comes in and buys tons and tons of weapons, pennies on the dollar, and then resells them to like African civil wars. And he just rakes in the cash. And he goes through, you know, a period where, you know,

his brother's involved and he, you know, dies and has a huge drug problem. And then this guy gets, the merchant of death gets a big drug problem going. Marries a supermodel. I mean, it's an incredible story. It really is worthy of a movie. Yes, even a Nicholas Cage movie. It's worthy of a Nicholas Cage movie.

And this guy did all sorts of things. I mean, he was responsible for God only knows how many deaths. He was fun, you know, the Liberian Civil War was one of his big, big targets. This is back when Charles Taylor was in charge there and was absolutely brutal. And he would funnel weapons to these wars, sometimes both sides of the war, just to sell more and more weapons and enrich himself. This is a guy who probably now is loved in Russia because he really, you know, emptied the coffers of the Ukrainian army to sell a bunch of stuff of his own down. in other parts of the world. He was almost caught a million times.

Eventually was caught in, I think it was in New York and was put into prison and should remain there forever. That's how this story should end. Instead, he's on a flight back to Russia. And we're getting a solid center with good post-up abilities. So I don't know. It's a weird trade. It is.

It is a weird trade. I'm happy. I'm happy that Brittany Griner is coming in. But then there's another layer of this patent, which is, look, do I want Britney Griner back? We've already answered that question. Yes, I do. I don't care about her WMBA career at all. I don't know much about her. I don't care that she's in the WMBA. I don't care about the WMBA. But she's an American citizen. I would like her back. However, Paul Whelan's also an American citizen. And he's been over there for decades. Yeah. And for some reason, we got Brittany Griner out and not him. Now, you might say we only had a one for one trade, and that might be the answer to this. But like, I know from a chivalry standpoint, I can make an argument, okay, even though he's had a much longer road in Russian detention, we still go with, we go with a woman for chivalry reasons.

You can talk to me about that, but Joe Biden can't make that argument. he can't even tell what a woman is. This entire side of our political spectrum can't define what a woman even is. So you can't make the chivalry argument here. If you can't make that argument, what argument is there to bring Brittany Griner back instead of Paul Weillen?

What argument is there? She had CBD and he's accused of being a spy. Well, I mean, maybe that. Maybe. Maybe that's true. But I mean, they've already indicated. I don't buy that. First of all, he's not a spy. He should be clear.

He's definitely not a spy. That's total BS from Russia. But you know, you can understand that from a Russian perspective that they'd rather release her. And maybe that's, maybe that's part of it. I don't, they've already indicated that they would negotiate on this point in back channels. At least there's been a lot of reporting on that. And so.

And really, you could exchange a spy for a spy, too. We've got people who are held here that we believe were Russian spies. And they probably were. Yeah. But exchange for this. I'd be in total favor of a prisoner exchange in that eventuality. For Paul Whelan? Yeah.

Yeah. A one-for-one exchange, spy for spy. Sure. I mean, well, it's ridiculous to say this because he's not a spy. He's not. But, you know, again, I sort of understand that. And I am, I really want the American citizens that are in captivity over there back. Like, it's a high priority.

We should be focusing on it. We should have people on it. You know, the same thing happened in North Korea. We saw activity there with the Trump administration. I mean, he focused on this a lot, this type of, and he, you know, also tried to get several captives back from Russia. It's good to see that this is happening, but it just, I mean, maybe I'm being, maybe you're pushing back here, Pat, and I'm being too skeptical on this.

Maybe. Maybe I'm wrong, but like, doesn't it feel like the only. reason Brittany Griner is coming back instead of Paul Whelan is that she's famous. It does. Am I too cynical on this? No, I think that's probably accurate. It's got a lot more publicity.

Right. No one knows who Paul Whelan is. He's been sitting over there for a million years and only his parents seem to care about it. And they've been trying to go to the media forever. And every once in a while you see a profile story and the story goes away. Brittany Griner is somebody that has some level of public profile.

And I don't know. I mean, it just seems like this is just a play by the Biden administration to bring back a celebrity, which again, I'm happy she's coming back. But like it does not seem like this is a pure decision. And I'm just, I'm looking here. I couldn't remember when he was incarcerated. It was 2020. So he's been, he's been over there for about two and a half years.

Okay. In jail for two and a half years. May I got him confused with another one guy. He's sentenced, though, to 16. So, she was sentenced to what, 10? Yeah, 9 or 10. This indicates that they don't even believe he's a spy. The Russian government is not, if they thought he was a spy,

they wouldn't sentence him to 16 years and Britney Griner 10 for CBD. Right, like, come on. Yeah. We all know that that's ridiculous. They don't even believe he's a spy. They know, look, these people are chips. They're negotiating chips for the Russians. And that's almost always the case.

in these situations. And I don't believe, I frankly don't necessarily, you know, believe that Brittany Griner even did anything wrong. I mean, I think there's a good chance she didn't. Now,

there's a chance that she did. Obviously, like, we don't think of, it wasn't even CBD. It was supposedly, uh, something elevated from that,

I believe was the accusation. Um, it was, you know, the, it was, I think the argument was at the time that she was using, like,

you know, how you'd use medical marijuana for, uh, for pain, management. You know, like that was the argument at the time. Now, God only knows what's right and what's wrong here. You know, she'll come back and she'll tell. Hashish. Hashish, right? Man, there we go. There we go. Um, so, you know, that's a, that probably is a crime there. Was she actually doing it? It's possible, right? I mean, she might look at this and be like, yeah, no one's going to do anything to me in the United States for this. It's not going to be a big deal. And, you know, what are the Russians going to throw out one of these big athletes and put me in prison? Maybe she made that calculation. But like, once the war heats up, Like that calculation's out the window. I mean, it should have been out the window at the beginning,

but it really makes no sense once the war, you know, battles and and the buildup to the war starts. Obviously, they wanted revenge on us. And I think that's quite clear what was going on here, especially when you come to the punishment angle of it, right? Like, it's one thing to get in trouble for a crime in a foreign country. This does happen to people. But they didn't exactly go light on her.

No. Like, ah, Russian prison came. Ten years. You know, it seems a little over the top. A little bit, yeah. And that's why there was outrage over it, and there should be. And there should have been. But it did take them, took them a long time to get her out.

I mean, she should have been out. If Trump were in office, I think she would have been out. Well, she might not have even been arrested, frankly. But if she were, I'll bet she would have been out in a week. Yeah. Instead of eight or nine months or whatever it's been. That's probably true. I do think he would have focused on it.

He also had a different relationship with them. Right. I mean, it would have been interesting to see what happened in that case because obviously Trump's Russia policy was much, much harsher on Russia than Obama's policy was on Russia. By far. I mean, it wasn't even close. He said things that were nice about Putin from time to time. And everyone's like, oh, wow, he just loves Vladimir Putin.

And then you look at his policy and you're like, well, wait a minute, it doesn't seem like it likes Vladimir Putin that much. There never seemed to be much love policy-wise. He was not soft on Russia at all. The reverse of that. I mean, he reversed soft Russia policies that Obama had put into place. Yeah. You know, and I mean, I guess the, I guess the left-wing argument to that is, well,

those are just the people around him. You know, he had people like John Bolton around him who were obviously more hawkish. And, you know, so maybe that was it. He just agreed to what everyone around him was telling him. I don't know. I think that's what everyone likes to do with Donald Trump. When it's a policy that they like, they just say, oh, well, all the people around him are doing it. And when it's a policy they don't like, then it's him by himself doing all, making all the decisions. That's just how this works with Donald Trump. He deserves credit for his Russia policy. It was harsh. And he was actually holding red lines, unlike the previous administration. It would have been interesting to see, does this war even happen if Trump is in office? Yeah, my guess is no. My guess is no. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K.

More coming up in one minute. Life is about being active, whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising. You know you're well when you're regularly active. But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day? This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago. Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for was held captive to almost constant nagging pain. When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance.

Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since. And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start for only 1995. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for Relief. 800 for relief or relief factor.com.

Or whatever it was, it was in her bag. It was hash oil or, I don't know, something. But was that just because she had to?

Right. To get the lower sentence. and this also brings up the incredibly important question about whether or not WMBA stars make enough money because she was only over there to play more basketball so that she could supplement her meager income of $229,000, Stu. I love this. This is the one time greed is okay, apparently. Yeah.

Like $229,000, not enough. She had to go over there and make money. another, what, 500,000 or something to play in Russia? Whatever it is, yeah. And the complaint there is not that, like, this greedy one percenter who's already making hundreds of thousands of dollars, risked all of this and is causing all this international chaos just to make a few hundred extra thousand dollars. I can't believe this.

If it was a white male, that would certainly be the storyline. Right. But instead, it's like, she's only making $229,000. And she has to go to Russia. should to supplement that income. Does she? Yes. It's not enough. Yes, she can't support her family on $229,000? $229,000 plus endorsements plus all the other things. So it's probably well over a million. Way more than that. But yes, that's just the 229 in salary. But here's the thing. LeBron James makes $41 million.

He doesn't, well, first of all, he doesn't deserve it either. That's a whole other story. But that's just a side of sports point. Yeah, no, you know, the NBA brings in a lot more money than the WMBA. In fact, it actually is profitable. What do you mean? They only bring in, I mean, it's really close, though, because the NBA brings in $10 billion a year, $10 billion. Just the $10 billion.

Just $10 billion. The WNBA brings in $50 million. Are you saying that $10 billion is more than that? Huh? Really? No, I'm not a scientist. I don't know. I mean, are you luring me into?

Or a mathematician. No, I'm not a math. mathematician. I don't know. But it does, to me, the billion thing seems higher than the million thing. It does seem that. Okay. That's incredible. I didn't realize it was that bad. It's an unbelievable disparity. It's an unbelievable gap. And like, look, let's be clear. It's the W. It's the NBA, subsidizing the WNBA. That's the only reason it continues to exist. Yeah. I mean, like, look, it's just like, it's all about money. I was watching the Cornhole championship. championships the other day.

Oh, those are riveting. They are freaking riveting. It is legit. I saw, the other I was also watching the pickleball, some pickleball tournament the other day. On ESPN? On ESPN? On ESPN. Like, you know, they occasionally do those like ESPN-Ocho type events where they drop in those

different sporting events. And like, these people are also the best at their craft, right? Because Brittany Griner is one of the best female basketball players in the world, there's a market for that, just like there's a market for the best cornhole player in the world. It's true. Yeah, yeah, it is.

But like the best cornhole player in the world who might be better at cornhole than Britney Griner is at basketball is going to make less than Britney Griner playing cornhole, most likely. Although that's probably getting close. Honestly, when it comes to interest, I think Cornhole and WMBA

are basically on the same plane. But it's true, like, you know, they don't get subsidized. There's no NBA to jump in and subsidize cornhole. So they got to make it on their own. And look, the champion might make a good chunk of cash. I'm going to look at it. I'm going to look it up because I don't know how much a professional cornhole player makes. I bet it's in the six figures. Oh my gosh. Okay. That can't be right. Is that right? Cornhole game pays an average salary of $637,000. What? No. That can't be true.

Can it? No. Ranging from a low of $560,000. 62,000 to a high of 728? I don't believe that. No. I don't believe that. No, that's ridiculous. The minimum. No, here we go.

Professional cornhole players make between 5,000 and 25,000 per cornhole season. Okay. I'm right. I don't know where this first article came from, but it is not right. Are you on cornholepropaganda.com? What the hell? This information is that. This is like the most pro-cornhole news source in the world.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Still under the weather a bit. AAA 727 B-E-C-K Seems to be some disparity in the in the world of how much cornhole professional cornhole players make Because the first article I read was 637,000 on average

No No I'm just going to say flat out no Maybe not Sometimes when you hear a statistic You just need to say No No

No No It might be closer to between 5,000 and 25,000 per season. It seems like it's additional income is what I would say. Yeah. That sports is a level. You're probably not doing this full time.

No. It's hard to make money doing, you know, playing professional sports unless you happen to be someone like Aaron Judge who just got a significant contract, nine years, $360 million. Yeah, I'd say that's significant. It's good money. It's good money. And I think I'm going to renegotiate my deal here at the blaze.

I'm going to ask for nine years 360 and see what happens. Because I think they might go for it. Yeah. Well, if only about 350 million of it was guaranteed. I want it fully guaranteed. Oh, you do? Okay. It has to be 360.

Yeah. So I'm going to be a no on that one. I will say it's interesting watching. We all watch inflation hit us. We all sat here and looked at like the price of bread and the price of milk and the price of cars and the price of rent and home. and everything. We all got hit with that and all watched it happen. And I don't know.

Is that what's happening right now in baseball? These contracts are massive. Xander Bogart's just got $11 years, $280 million to go to San Diego. Trey Turner to go to the Phillies, 10 years, $300 million, I think it was. Wow. That's a lot. And these are stars, right? But like, even like secondary level pitchers are getting two years,

30 million. The money that is flowing through the sport right now. And you saw the same thing happen with people like Deshawn Watson who if you watched his game this past weekend and he was a little rusty. But I know with people

of Cleveland are hoping that he can earn out that contract because it's a big boy. That's a big contract fully guaranteed. For someone who seemingly at any point can be accused of something true or not and will just be suspended, react in and in reactionary fashion immediately.

And that's a bit of a risk. His entire contract is guaranteed, right? Fully guaranteed. Yeah, fully guaranteed. There's only a few of those that have ever happened in football, but they're all fully guaranteed in baseball. Yeah, right. Wow.

Jeez. That'd be nice. It's just incredible. And so I don't know. Maybe it's, maybe it is partially because of just these, there was a lot of money sitting around and a lot of these people had it. And now they're looking to spend it. I mean, the San Diego Padres just seem to have...

Did they secretly have a money printing machine inside their offices? It must. Foof. Man. It's incredible. It's hit really every aspect of our society. And is baseball even that big in San Diego? I don't know.

Are the Padres beloved? I mean, I think they're like to. They have a great, you know, kind of stadium down right in downtown. Though I will say, I've had several people I've talked to because I love San Diego. I think it's a great. It's beautiful. Great city. The weather's great.

know, people I've always dealt with there were great. And the downtown is really cool. First of all, the airport's right by downtown. So you fly in, you're in your downtown in like, you know, five minutes. It's super close. And they have a really cool area. And Petco Park, it's still called Petco Park. I don't know. I can't remember. But it's that, you know, their baseball stadiums right there, right in town. So I like that. I've always liked that vibe. And, but I talked to a couple of people who have been there over the years and said, similar to other. California cities, it's changed. We've gone down this road where you can't really safely walk around the downtown anymore,

especially at night. Oh, wow. Because of the way the homeless problem is being dealt with, the drug problem is being dealt with, the crime problem is being dealt with. All of these things that are hitting places like San Francisco and Los Angeles and the other California and West Coast cities are hitting San Diego, maybe to a lesser degree. But they're making these cities.

is impossible to even want to visit, let alone live in. And they've done that all up and down the West Coast from Seattle to Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles. And now, you know, maybe San Diego too. But I mean, they have ruined all of these Democrat-controlled cities. Portland used to be a beautiful city. My daughter just visited there. She was there, I think, over the Thanksgiving break. And when she was driving back to the airport, she took a video of the scenery that she was driving past. And it was unbelievable. It looked like, you know, South Africa, you're driving through the shantytowns. It is just so slum-like now. It is, I mean, there are just tent cities everywhere and homeless people everywhere. And people

that live under these overpasses. And it's incredible that you've turned in, You've turned this beautiful city into a pit like that. And they've done that in Seattle as well. They've done it in San Francisco. They've done it in Los Angeles. And they've done it because they don't do anything about their situations with their homeless and the crime. Yeah, this is a result of progressive policies. Yep.

Full stop. I mean, look, there's always been people who were homeless. There has always been people with drug problems and mental health problems. And that's the vast majority of this problem, right? It's drug problems and mental health problems and serious ones. And, you know, the old way of dealing with this was to not accept it. The old way of dealing with this was to say, no, this can't go on. We have to protect the citizens of our city.

Right. And we can't just let people come out and do drugs in open markets right here. And page a tent and just set up shop here. No. No, of course not, right? That's not allowed. And the progressives have come in and said, well, actually, you are, you can't do that. You can't stop them from setting up a tent.

You can't stop them from doing drugs. You can't stop them because that's their lifestyle and you're criticizing their lifestyle. The right way to do it is to affirm them, to help them, to give them shelter if they will take it. You know, I can't remember what publication this was in, but there was a column about this recently about a woman who lived in San Francisco and she would look out the window and see things getting worse with homeless people and everything. And they had an issue with someone who's basically crazy on the streets. but it was well known around the area. And he was on drugs and he was having all sorts of problems. And he wasn't necessarily a harmful, aggressive type.

He was just, you know, everyone kind of knew he was the nutty guy in the neighborhood. And one day he was having a major, major meltdown, major, major problems. And they saw him kind of melting down outside. The police were called. The police came in, tried to take him in, bring him to a shelter. An activist stepped in. And they said, no, you don't. don't have to go with them. Now this is a guy in mental health crisis and a drug overdose in

progress basically and they said no, you have a right to say no, you don't want to get this treatment, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. When this person heard this, the guy is like, oh, yeah, okay, I don't want to go with you and resisted going with the police. The police left him on the street. Next day he was dead. Oh, man. Dead. This happens all. over the country because of progressive policies. You can't just let mental health drug issues go unchecked. Yeah. And certainly, you know, like, I can see how it would be difficult for, you have a person who wants to be out on the street. You can try to help. You can try to do certain things. If they commit crimes, you can bring them to jail. But it's hard to control a person

wandering around the streets doing things until they do something that's actually wrong. I mean, I understand why that's a challenge. It's not a challenge. It's not a challenge. It's not a challenge. to break down a tent city. You don't have a right to put tents in the middle of a sidewalk. Yeah, right. That's not something you have a right to do. Right. That is just straight out progressive policies that ruin entire corners and sometimes

giant percentages of cities. Mm-hmm. And it's happening all up and down the West Coast. And I'm sure in other places as well. But, you know, the Democrat policies are so prevalent on the West Coast that it's just really obvious there in those formerly great and beautiful cities. I mean, Seattle was beautiful. Portland was beautiful. San Francisco was one of the greatest cities in the world.

Now look at it. It's a mess. It's a mess. And it's going to get worse before it gets better because they love their policies. They're fine with them for the most part. And the lesson is clear here. If you want your city to look like this, to feel like this, then elect people who are going to do it for. you. They exist. They have Ds after their name. That's how you can tell who they are. Because I'm serious. It's like it's some issues are a little bit more nuanced, right? This one isn't. Right. This is clear. Yeah. If you continue to put progressives in power in these cities, this will continue to get worse. And it'll start spreading out of the cities to surrounding areas. And it will continue

to go on business owners. There was a, I saw a, um, a, um, a, um, a, um, a, um, a, um, a, um, business, it was like a small restaurant, Italian restaurant in one of these cities that had been burglarized 18 times. 18 times. They walked in, they walked into their wine cellar and stole bottles of wine from an Italian restaurant. You know, like things like this, 18 times. How could you remain open? You just want to run. And that's what people are doing. That's what they're doing. So you're getting these giant swaths of a city that are total war zones. And what people right now are trying to do is drive around them. And that's really it.

They just avoid those areas completely. You hope your business isn't there. And you just drive around them. And sure, you know, you can go to areas of a lot of these cities that are okay. There are still pockets that are fine, though it continues to bleed out more and more and more and more. And that's why people keep leaving. That's why we have a population. explosion in the state I'm sitting in.

Because all the people from the crappy areas of California keep flying here and never going home, which I completely understand. And for some of them, I welcome them with open arms, others. Maybe not so much. But come here and just don't bring your dumb

voting patterns with you. Yeah, that's the thing. You're welcome. As long as, as you don't bring what you just left with you. Just don't do that, please. If you got here and you're like, you know, that Beto guy might be a good governor. Go back home.

That's Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. 8-727-B-E-C-K. Did you see that in New Zealand, they took custody of a baby away from the parents because the parents didn't want the baby to receive a transfusion with blood that had vaccine in it? Wait. Say this again?

Parents in New Zealand who refused to allow their baby to take a transfusion of blood if it contained COVID-19 vaccine. Now find the state in possession of their child. They came in and took custody away from the parents. That's amazing. That's incredible. That is amazing. I mean, New Zealand has gone off the deep end on this, and so is Australia. I mean, they've been maybe two of the worst.

Other than China, they might be the two worst countries on earth with this COVID situation. You do realize how thin the argument is from the left when they say, we just don't want anyone to get in between a doctor and their patient. Yeah. Okay. We just don't want the government involved at all in medical decisions. Uh-huh. When they try to make these arguments about the pro-life pro-choice thing, that's what they always go to. They're sudden and very limited time libertarians.

It's always fascinating to watch because this is the type of thing that they cheer on. Yeah. look, you might think that it's ridiculous, that you would take it for me. You might think it's silly. Yeah, you might, whatever. Who cares if you think that? You're not the parent. Right.

Like, that's where I end on these things. And is that really such a big deal to ask for? I mean, there's got to be blood that's not. Yeah, I mean, I've tainted with vaccine that you could give the baby a transfusion of. Right? There's got to be. I mean, especially, I don't know. I would think the parents, but maybe they're not compatible.

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, look, there's tons of people that did. get the vaccine. Millions and millions of them in every country, basically, especially, you know, younger ages. I mean, the percentages are somewhat low in a lot of countries. But, of course, you could do that. Now, I mean, it's sort of ridiculous to get involved in this, whether, whether you think

the decision is right or not. I mean, like, you get to, you get to parent, your kids. Yeah. You're the parent. It's getting more and more where you really don't. You really don't get to. Takes a village, Pat. Oh, right.

That is the place they want to go. It takes a village. You don't have a right to your kids. It's their community property to a lot of these people. Yeah. And they don't like to say that. I mean, you remember the old MSNBC promo with Melissa Harris Perry, who was at the time a somewhat high profile commentator on MSNBC.

And she came out and kind of gave a pitch like that. We need to realize these are not that this is not the property of the parents. We need to realize that this is the property of our community. And we all raise these children together. And no, no, we don't. No, we don't know. I could tell you right now, Melissa, you do not parent my kids. No way.

I don't want you having anything to do with the parenting of my children. In New Zealand, they put this baby boy in the guardianship of his surgeon and cardiologist. For the purpose of consenting to surgery to address the obstruction and all medical issues related to that surgery, including the administration of blood. Wow. I mean, you can really push this to the extremes and find cases where you, you can, you can really push this to the extremes and find cases where, you, you could say, look, I think we got to step in. I mean, there are tough ones when there's like basic basic cures for, you know, terrible diseases

and the parent is just like, no, I don't want it. You know, I mean, look, sometimes those are cases of abuse, and it's tough to decipher. But asking for a blood transfusion from a different person doesn't seem like that this would rise to that level at all. Just how about with the, without the vaccine that I don't know what's in it necessarily. The Glenn Back program.

All right. Well, it's very disturbing to think about needing a medicine in a difficult situation. And I think with all the supply chain stuff we've seen recently, man, I mean, we've all been kind of thinking about that a little bit more. Political instability around the world. It is a real concern. And so what would you need for an actual medical emergency? The Jace case from Jace Medical is a great way to keep yourself prepared for the worst case scenario. It's a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses, things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, and a whole lot more. It's a great way to be prepared for shortages, and it's a great way to be prepared for

traveling as well. Darla wrote in, she said, my child developed an infection while we were on vacation. Luckily, we always travel with the Jace case, started her on antibiotics, and the infection cleared up. Her doctor later told us that it likely was the antibiotics from the Jace case that saved her life. Geez. Listen, don't get caught unprepared.

We start the radio show here in about 10 seconds. Is the fusion of entertainment? This is a day featuring Pat and Stu for Glenn. This is great because if you've got a child with any kind of body image issues, I got exactly who you turned to to help them through that period. in their lives. It's a dull manufacturing company.

And they've got some great advice for your kids. So we'll get into that in about a minute. It's going to be a well-timed message from Tuttle Twins. I can tell you that. Because if your kids are reading books that are telling them some other strange advice, you may want to get some Tuttle Twins books instead. I've had the entire set for my kids, and we read them all the time. Both Ainsley and Zach love the Tuttle Twins books.

And, you know, it's one of those things where you kind of get a little parenting done in the fun because the books are entertaining. The kids love the stories. They're great stories. But they're also teaching them foundational principles of America, of capitalism, of building your own business. You know, everything from there's, if you know, if you're familiar with I Pencil, the famous economic essay, your kids are not going to want to read I Pencil. They will read the Tuttle Twin's book that is basically.

on it though and they will like it and you will have an advantage as a parent this is a great time to load up on some tuddled twins books for your kids or your grandkids listen there are only a few days left to order these books before the shipping deadline if you want to have them before christmas so don't wait go to tuttle twinsbeck.com get these life-changing books for all the kids in your life you need to order soon to beat the shipping deadline do it now tuttletwinsbeck.com it's tuttle twinsbeck.com The popular dollmaker American girl has some advice for your kids. They've got a guidebook that they put together. That's great.

Yeah, it's great. And it's only $13. Well, it's $12.99. Okay. So it's not as expensive as I was leading on. It's only $12.99. And it has some great advice for children struggling with body image issues. And it suggests they ask their doctors for puberty blocking medication.

and to seek transgender support without parental consent if you don't have an adult you can trust in your life. What on earth? Don't you get all your really serious life advice from doll manufacturers, from dull companies? Most of it. Most of my stuff comes from, you know, when I really have a hard issue, it's usually American girl, a doll manufacturer.

Yeah, when I was concerned about compounding interest, I went to a sex doll company. Oh, you did? Yeah, and I was like, what should I do? with my mortgage right now. What's going on with that? What was their advice? Their advice was,

well, I can't say their advice. It was, it was X-rated. They swore at me a bunch of times. Wow. Yeah, it was weird. Anyway, that is always where I go. Well, American Girl has put out a smart girl's guide, body image book.

And it's on the website, again, for just $12.99. you know, if you're struggling, your kids are struggling, this is right where you go. The cover of the 96 page, it's a 96 page paperback. Wow, it shows four girls of varying body weights and skin colors. One's in a wheelchair. Another has blue dyed hair. And the subtitle reads, How to Love Yourself, Live Life to the Follest, and celebrate all kinds of bodies. you know, and then

it tells you if you're struggling, if you're not comfortable with the part of your body, then, you know, you should go get some some puberty blockers from your doctor. And that way, you know, you'll have a couple of years to decide whether you're comfortable with your body or if you want to change it, you know, through surgery. Can you believe this?

It's unbelievable. I mean, American girl dolls, we bought all of our girls, American girl dolls. They loved them. And now they're doing this with our kids? So this is interesting, Pat, because I have small kids. Yeah. Younger kids.

And they, my daughter has- Is Ainsley a fan of American girl? Has tons of stuff. She's, you know, for presents and stuff she's bought with her own money. Like, you know, she's even got the Jeep, Pat. She has the entire. I didn't know there was an American Girl Jeep. Great Jeep.

Really? If you want to get the Jeep, it's fantastic. Is it one that it's big enough for her to ride in it? Yeah. No, she's not that big. It's for the dolls to ride in it. Okay. All right.

So then that's a very standard experience. I will say, as your kids get older, you have to talk to them about some things that are going on in their lives, right? Some changes that may be coming up soon. Right. Not like gender transition changes, but just the changes that every boy or girl goes through. The normal changes, yeah, that they all go through. And if you are a parent, you know. know that that can be a little strange and challenging.

Yeah. And so what do you do in that situation? This is unbelievable. You go and you look for resources, right, to kind of help you walk through it. Maybe a book that you can read to your kids. So I went through a bunch of like conservative reviews of these types of books because I was worried about, you know, what woke nonsense they would slip into these things, right? and when I went through this,

one of the ones recommended by all sorts of conservatives, religious people, all sorts of, were the American girl doll series. It was a series of all sorts of books like this, not just about gender transition at all, but just like, okay, puberty, right?

Like, you're getting older, like these are the types of things. You're going to get, you know, hair under your arms, right? Like, stuff like that. Yeah. Just to kind of let people, the kids know what's going on.

And so I read the books from this company about the basics. Yeah. And they don't have any sign of this kind of stuff. Of this kind of stuff in there. So this has got to be new. I mean, this is not a book that I saw, the body image one, how to love yourself life to the close. It says it's a newly released book.

So they're going down this road. TAN and older. And it says parts of your body may make you feel uncomfortable. and you may want to change the way you look. Wait, stop for a second. That's totally okay. Stop for a second. That is totally okay.

Every single person on earth has parts of their body that make them uncomfortable. You know, I can tell you my gut is one of them. I've got to reveal the transition. I would like to transition into a thin person. So it doesn't seem to be happening, but I would like it. Yeah. So, and what was the second part of that, that you should be? you comfortable in your body?

Yeah. It's totally okay if you're uncomfortable. Yeah. And you want to change the way you look. That's fine. Yes, it's okay if you want to change the way you look. It's so funny because when you are overweight and you want to lose weight, they say, actually fat pride, you should, every, everyone is perfect.

Everyone is perfect and that's okay. No matter how you are, you were made that way. You were born that way and you're perfect as you never want to change. No, I was not born. I was not born fat. That is not true. No, I ate to get that way. I was eight pounds, seven ounces. I transitioned into a fat person. And I have really let myself go since then. I am way more than eight pounds, seven ounces. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I was going to say, way more. It looked like you put on a few since then. You have. You know, since birth. Yeah. I have. You really have. So. But like, that is, they're taking advantage of a really normal human instinct to say, you know, I'd like to look a little bit better. Gosh, I hate the way I look in this way. Everyone, everyone. goes through that. You should be able to take that rationally and in context

and maybe make some changes that would make you more healthy. Not cut off your parts because you don't like them. Right. That's a different pitch. Or start taking life-altering medication that can stop the natural process of your body. I mean, that's really dangerous. And

doctors who are honest are starting to really speak out about that fortunately. That, hey, it's not necessarily just This just delays things for a while and then you're going to be fine if you stop taking them. It could cause real problems for you. But they continue in another part of the book. You can appreciate your body for everything it allows you to experience and still want to change certain things about it.

If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medication to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity. This is a doll company. Yeah, and I guess like it is important. Yes, it's a doll company. But like they're bringing in experts in these fields to write these books. I'm sure. This is actually a part of their company. So bad.

And, you know, a lot of the stuff that they have is totally, I think would be cool with. Yeah, you liked it. It was fine. What I liked about it is it didn't get into a lot of those like advanced questions. It was like, okay, here's how the body changes as you get older. Hey, make sure you put on deodorant. kid, you know, so because you're going to start stinking really soon. It was stuff like that. Wow. Which is, you know, helpful for parents to bring them through. And that's what's, I think,

scary about this. And I think this is maybe the scariest part. If you don't have an adult you trust, like your parents, I guess, who probably bought you this book. Uh-huh. There are, there are organizations across the country that can help you turn to the resources on page 95 for more information. I don't, I don't know what resources are on page. 95. It's absolutely unbelievable. It's incredible to me. Here, I have some, so this is also some other stuff from the book.

The way you show your gender to the world through clothes and behavior is your gender expression. No, it's not. Can we, is it, forget even how ridiculous it is to try to change your gender. That is not a description of what gender is. The way you wear your clothes? No. The way you wear clothes is your style. That's what that is.

That we have words for these things already. It has nothing to do with gender. How bizarre is that that your genitalia has nothing to do with your gender, but your clothes do now. You can't tell anything about the gender of a child from whether they've got a hoo-ha or what's the other one you use? A man unit. A man unit or a hoo-ha. You can't tell. However, you can tell if this is a quote from the book, your gender expression can be feminine, masculine, or somewhere in between and might change.

Maybe you'll experiment with bright dresses. and long feminine hairstyles or you might try baggy shorts, plaid shirts and a buzzed haircut. Your gender expression should make you feel at home in your body. You don't have a choice whether you'd be at home in your body or not.

Even if you alter it with surgery, you're still at home in your body. Being at home in your body is a made-up concern. It's not a thing. If you have a problem, being at home in your body, you have something. that has traditionally been called

gender dysphoria, where you're having problems, medical problems, trying to understand why you feel strange in your own body. But that's not real. Your feelings are not real.

You might think because you put on cargo shorts, you're a boy, you're not. I'm sorry. Like, I, there is no reason to indulge in this nonsense. It is, there are interesting things to be learned about an individual, about the choices they might wear, make in the clothes that they wear, or the way that they

act, or the way they present themselves, or the hairstyle they choose. You might understand interesting parts about their personality, but there is very little societal value in, in this pursuit. What does it matter? Why do we care? And when we were doing the Pat and Stu Show back in the day, Pat. I remember we used to play a clip from Ellen DeGeneres. And, you know, she's a very famous, obviously, LGBT. I don't want to say Q-QIA, because I don't know if she advocates for those things. I don't know.

But she was an LGBT advocate for many, many years. Obviously, someone who really broke a lot of barriers to people in the mainstream culture. And they asked her about the transgender thing, and she was trying to let people who just couldn't grasp it, understand what it was. And what she said, her description of the transgender thing, was that gender, being a transgender person, gender is a feeling that you feel in your brain. It's the way you feel. And like that might be interesting if your sister's going through that, it might be interesting to try to understand how they feel in their brain. But when we're talking about when you go into a hospital and you need to find out if you have ovaries or not, none of that matters. Your feelings don't concern anyone.

They're not important. Full stop. They are not important. They are not important when it comes to that. It might be interesting to try to understand them from a physician's standpoint. It might be interesting from a cultural standpoint or in a societal standpoint. You might say, wow, that's an interesting quirk. Why does that happen?

What does it mean? But it does not have value when it comes to policy. It does not have value there at all. What is important is whether it's a man or a woman, a boy or a girl, male or female, that is what is important. That's what needs to be on government forms. How you feel in your brain does not need to be on a government form. And it certainly does not need to be explained to a 10-year-old who is already so confused by the freaking Chinese Communist Party through TikTok that they're trying to do this stuff and trying to justify keeping it away from their parents. That's really bad.

It is really bad. Really. I mean, and there's more. What happens when you do make that transition when you do listen to the American Girl's pamphlet and you make those changes in your body? We'll get into somebody who tells you about that. Coming up in one minute. If you're living with aches and pains, especially if they're frequent and nagging and relentless,

I want you to take a moment and think back to the last time you really felt good. Can you even remember what it felt like? Now here's even a more important question. What would you give to go back to feeling like that again? Maybe it would just be nice to take a stroll with your loved one or play with your grandchildren. I've suffered from persistent, crippling pain almost all the time for about five years. When I started taking Relief Factor, I took it because my wife made me start taking it. I didn't think it would work for me.

Yet here I am today, virtually pain-free, doing the things I love to do, all thanks to my wonderful wife and relief factor. I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and about six. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Are you part of that 70% that can get your life back? Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be to order the three-week quick start for only 1995. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 804 Relief. Find out more about this offer.

Feel the difference. Relieffactor.com. 10 seconds station ID. Yeah. You know, Pat, yeah. We're it's Pat and Stu in for Glenn right now, and he's not feeling well. He'll be back likely to me. tomorrow. But I just want you to know, Pat, that being transgender is not an illness or something

to be ashamed of. It used to be. It just isn't now. Right? I believe it was a, well, yes. It was 2013. Yes. It was sure. It was in all the medical journals up until very recent. That's not, that's ancient. I mean, how old were you in 2013? Oh, I have four. I was four. I was four, too. Oh, wow. Same age. The, the book, however, does not discuss any of that. That That's how it was thought for all of human history. If you're questioning your gender identity or, because there's another alternative, you might be questioning. You're one of the cues in the LGBTIQIA2 plus community.

Either queer or questioning. Or Pat, now this is again designed to hit 10 year olds when they're trying to figure this stuff out. Or if you already know for sure that you're trans or non-binary. So you might be already sure at 10. You're 100% certain. What do you do in that situation? Well, you talk with an adult you trust, like a parent or school counselor.

That person can connect you with a specially trained doctor who can help you and your family decide what's best for your body. At first, you and the doctor might talk about wearing the clothes and using the pronouns like he, she, or they that make you feel most like the true you. This is nonsense. What do you mean the true you? You're just you. There's no true you. You're you. You get to be you and you don't get to be anybody else.

And if you want to be somebody else, that's not the true you. You're just you. I know it's boring, but that's just the truth. That's why I hate that gender affirming phrase. Oh, I hate that. It's the opposite. It's the opposite of affirming. You're not affirming their gender.

You're changing the gender. Gender affirmation would be saying, look, honey, I know you feel like you're a boy, but you're really a girl. You've got all the parts of the girl. That's affirming. We had to change your diaper back in the day. We're pretty sure about this one. We've seen.

You know, so I got news for you. You're a girl or you're a boy. But you can't transition to the other one. That's gender affirming. Right. The book goes on. If you haven't gone through puberty yet. Is this the American girls one or is this another one?

This is the American Girl dog book, the one we've been discussing. And listen to this phrase. If you haven't gone through puberty yet, they are really targeting. This is you legitimate. targeted to young, young children. Yep. The doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.

And if you've already gone through puberty, a doctor can still help. Studies show studies, Pat, they show that transgender and non-binary kids who get help from doctors have much better mental health than those who don't. Now, of course, there's an entire industry churning out studies to justify this nonsense. However, the overwhelming majority of the research shows the exact opposite. People who go through this. Most people honestly, like... Commit suicide at 20 times the rate?

Massively high rates of suicide. And I think maybe the most interesting research is a control group, which people who wanted to do it but didn't. And the percentage of people who regret not, you know, so someone is a boy, they want to transition to a girl, but they don't. But they don't. Either their parents say no, they're not allowed. can't get the treatment, they don't go through with it. The overwhelming percentage, and it's something like 80% of them.

Number one, are happy that they didn't go through it. Wow. And number two, often, a high percentage of them turn out to be gay or lesbian when they grow up. So really what you're doing is taking the L's and the G's and deleting them. Yeah. And turning them into T's. That's why there's a little issue right now. Between the L's and the G's and the T's.

And we never hear from the Bs. For all, you know, they got high placement on this chart, and you never hear word one from them. You know, you know that? It's almost like they don't exist. They really never get any attention. The poor B's. It's all about the LGs and T's.

And they start adding all these letters on the end, and we never go back to the Bs and talk about the bees. What poor, you know, free the bees. Free the bees, Pat. Thank you. You know, give them some of the attention they deserve. Finally, somebody has said it. The Glenn Back Program.

I do. Yeah. And so, yeah, go there and get some. It's a great sell, man. Yeah, thank you. I'm there. I'm there. I knew you would be. In fact, I don't know, Pat, do you have a book for kids to teach them how to transition? Have you come up with that yet?

Oh, man. I don't personally have one, but I have one that I really love from the American Girl doll store. It's terrific. It really is. If you're uncomfortable with your body in any way, they'll lead you in the right direction to get the puberty blockers. Maybe consult about surgery and get your body surgically. altered because as it says in this first sentence about somebody who went through it, and then, well, we'll get to that in a second, but here's the first sentence of a woman who went through it. A woman who previously identified as non-binary is suing the professionals that approved her for a

gender affirming mastectomy. I got news for you. If you're getting a mastectomy, that is not gender affirming. if you do especially if you're doing it because I don't know cancer you know like it's got nothing to do with gender right if it's if it's to do with a gender transition it absolutely is not affirming your gender it's doing the opposite of that that affirming thing is really it's pissing me really bothers me because it is the exact opposite of reality yeah intentionally yes they it does it's the opposite of affirming your gender if you have a gender and you want that to be affirmed it would be like the thing that they would hate which would be saying look honey you're you you're you your boy, you're always going to be a boy. Honey, you're always going to be a girl. Your chromosomes are already. You're always going to be a girl.

Yeah. Like you can... You can't change that. By the way, you can be a girl and like sports. And you can be a girl who likes cargo pants. And you can be a girl who is interested in action movies. That doesn't mean you're a boy. Right.

Doesn't mean it. It just doesn't. And for some reason, that's now controversial to say. It is. But in a way to you... Shouldn't be. dissolves the entire spectrum of of how people are like the tomboy thing is a real thing you know some people just like okay they they they like to hang with the boys they like sports they like action

movies they like that stuff and we all know yeah girls that were tom boys yeah when we were younger and that's and it was fine it's it's not nobody thought it was bizarre or weird or you didn't make fun of them i mean it was it was fine what's weird is trying to delete it yeah right like trying to say that all those people actually know they're boys. They're not boys. They're just girls who, you know, had some more masculine characteristics. That's part of the charm, right?

If everyone is the same, if all girls dress exactly the same, they make movies called the Steppford wives, right? Like, that was the creepy weird thing about that is that everyone was the same. We don't want them to be the same. We want there to be all different types of girls and all different types of boys.

What the left wants to do is say, no, we will tell you what gender you are based on your clothing choices. It's insanity. Listen to this phrase. This is from the book, from the American Girl book. And again, you don't want, it's called body image

and it is available now. You should not buy it. It says, but being transgender isn't a medical transition. It's a process of learning to love yourself for who you are. No. It's the exact opposite.

of that. Again, it's hating who you are and wanting to be something else. Yeah. It's, they are just legitimately saying the exact opposite of the truth

and saying, well, I've got credentials. So you have to believe me. I went to college. I've got this degree in some made up study that didn't exist five years ago.

And therefore, you must agree with me or you're a hate monger. Well, no. If you're transitioning from a boy to a girl, it's because as they say in other parts of the book. You're uncomfortable in your own body. Your body is what you are

when it comes to gender. And they are saying, well, I'm uncomfortable with that thing. So therefore, I want to be another thing. Meaning the old thing that you currently are, you don't like enough to continue to be it. Yeah. It is not loving who you are. It's the exact opposite of loving who you are. It's hating who you are and loving some weird progress. version of who you might be. And it's not true. That is the biggest part about it. It's just the abandonment of truth.

And we've done that in so many. They hate it. So many aspects of life now. This woman who went through this transition and now regrets it. And is filing lawsuits against the people who convinced her to make the transition. Like she got a lawsuit against social worker, Amy Ruff, mental health therapist Mara Bermister

and their respective clinics for approving her for a double mastectomy after two visits. Oh my gosh. After two visits, they convinced her to get a double mastectomy.

Unbelievable. And get this, both visits happened over Zoom. They weren't even in person. Oh my gosh. One was in May, one was in June before her surgery occurred

in August of 2020. From May to August. That is insane. Incredible. Look, these should be crimes. They should be. They should be crimes. These doctors should not be able to do this.

This is not... Look, you want to be an adult, and you want to go through this. You know, you can make the argument that, okay. But when we're talking about children, these should be crimes. You should not be able to do this to a child who quite obvious. obviously does not have the capacity to make decisions like this. We don't even let them vote. We don't let them do.

We don't let them drink. We don't let them drive. And we're like, oh, yeah, you can totally tell what your gender is right now. And, you know, sure, it's going to affect the entire rest of your life. But why have any critical thinking over that? And after two years, this woman has already gone back to identifying as a woman. She doesn't identify as a man already. It's been two years.

I mean, it happened quickly. If you could just be patient, you know, maybe you're going through a phase. It happens to people. It does happen to people. They go through tough times. I mean, you know, it's the same thing of saying like, you know what, I'm suicidal. I guess we'll let's help you kill yourself. It's the same thing.

Yeah, it is. Sometimes those feelings reverse. Often they reverse. Often it is a phase. Often it is someone who is having mental health challenges that can't quite see reality correctly. you know, I was talking to Chad Pratherer on my show the other day and he said, you know, my definition of mental health is not being able to recognize what is reality and what isn't. And I think that's really true. Yeah.

If you can't recognize what reality is, you don't affirm that. You don't say let's continue to encourage your misunderstanding of what reality is. You don't say, here's how we further it. Here's how we make it reality. You don't say, oh, well, you think you can fly? Well, let's attach some wings to your back and see what happens. Jump off the building and we'll all watch. That is not what you do.

Glenn just did a podcast, Pat, with this, with a woman who is, and I use woman, honestly, like, with hesitation. Because I think she's 18. She's barely a woman. I mean, really a girl. And she went through a transition with all these surgeries and I don't know, the full extent of it, but, you know, this, I have to say. you get to these parts and it's like a lot of stuff I don't want to know I don't want to know how these surgeries work I don't want to think about it yeah but it does happen to these people but in many cases it is at least the top surgery yes the mastectomy and she I think she went through it at like

15 or 16 and now is 18 and regrets it again two years two years later yep she regrets it regrets it and says oh my gosh this is wrong I can't believe they let me talk talk they were talked into his her poor parents and this is one of the toughest parts of this her her Parents weren't like, you'd think, okay, what, you get some crazy liberal parents who bring into a wacko doctor who says, yeah, no, cut off all your parts, it's great. Okay, like we can all see. And that scenario does happen often. I mean, probably most commonly, it's that type of situation where the parent is some crazy

left-wing nut job who encourages this behavior and pushes it along and acts like they can brag to all their friends about how they have a new transgendered kid. And they post all the pictures on Instagram and they look like they're the most woke among the crowd. And that is really super common when it comes to these cases. But this case was parents who were told by the doctor that if she did not have gender-affirming surgery, she would kill herself. You can imagine you think of your son or your daughter how much you love them and how you would do literally anything to stop them from killing themselves. And you start understanding how this stuff happens.

You know, the parents were said to themselves, oh my God, okay, I guess just do whatever you have to do. I don't care if they alter their body. I just want them here. Now, the part here, which I think is also relatively common, according to the girl, she says she never said that and was not at all a risk of suicide. She says and claims that she never told the doctors that. The doctor told the parent that with their medical expertise.

Well, you know what? She's going to wind up killing herself. Now, that is, again, to me, a malpractice. A crime. more than a loss of license needs to happen to doctors who are doing that type of stuff. That's to me jail time.

Oh, yeah. Jail time, especially if it's a lie. But anyway, they went through this whole thing and now the parents feel terrible. Like, they were just trying, but they were just trying to help their kid. They believed this stuff. They believed not in the gender transition,

but the doctors who said death was on the door step of their child. What would you do in that situation? Almost anything. right? And so keeping a connection to the truth is vital. You know, that's what the left wants. Truth is what always dismantles the left. When there are hard, in fact, truths, the left can't win. So they have to create this weird world where truth doesn't exist.

And we all acknowledge this false reality. It's the only way they can win. And that's exactly where we are right now. AAA 727, B-E-C-K, more coming up. Are you tired? for paying far too much for your mobile phone service. I bet you are. But also, you might be thinking, well, all that extra money I'm spending, where's that going? Well, it's going to left-wing causes.

Causes that support the exact stuff we're talking about this hour. Transitioning for children and pro-choice beliefs and all sorts of crazy left-wing stuff. Well, how do you fight back against that? You need a phone probably. I mean, I would honestly love to just not have one, but we all know at this point kind of we need to. You need to have some way of communicating with people. And, you know, if you want to make sure you have cell phone service, but you're doing good things when you pay your bill, Patriot Mobile is a place to go.

There's an Arkansas town that has been hassled about. their nativity scene because that happens every year somewhere. It really does. Many places, in fact. Somebody drives by a display and is like, oh my gosh, there's a Christmas nativity scene on government property.

That violates the First Amendment. They sound like that. Yeah, they sound just like that. Yeah, every time. That's how they say it. It's a weird thing to focus on. It is. There's big problems in the world.

Like, all right. Like, there's a. And it's also not a thing. you know, it's really not a thing. There's nothing that says in the U.S. Constitution, you can't put an nativity scene on government property. No. There's nothing like that. It doesn't even get the establishment clause doesn't even get close to that.

No, it's the reverse. It's about government, you know, creating a law. Creating a law that establishes a religion. Right. Just basically. Done. That's it. It's really narrow.

I mean, then nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof. But the important part, the important part is that government, the Congress, Congress cannot establish a law that creates a religion that you have to adhere to. Yeah, that second part is massively important, just not in the story. Right. Like, yes, exactly. I mean, I guess it kind of is, though. I mean, like, you really, part of free expression would be doing this.

We'd be doing this. Yeah. But then the Satanist will always say, we could, then we have, we have the right to put one up to. No, you don't. No. You do not. Sorry. We don't have to put up a Satanist display just because there's a nativity scene.

so beat it. Now, that was the exact argument you made in the Supreme Court when you argued this case. It was. In front of the Supreme Court, you said, do you remember that? Beat it. And then I remember when Sotomayor was like, you know what, he's right. He's right. Yeah.

Yeah, we should tell him to beat it. Yeah. And so they did. I didn't think you'd get, honestly, Kagan on that one, but you did. And you won that one. I think it was eight one. I think it was. Yeah.

That's Pat Gray. By the way, if you need assistance in any legal case, go to Paa. Patgraylaw.com. And he's going to nail it for you. Yeah. Just get out. A lot of the cases do end and get out. Shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. Okay. Here's what you do. Okay, you're offended by that? Don't look. How about that one? Don't look.

And, you know, a lot of people will draw the argument out. Yours is really short typically. You get up in front of it. I like to get to the point. You say, hey, you don't like that. Don't look. And then you close your eyes when you walk past it

and then you tell them to beat it and you're done. And beat it, yeah. It saves a lot of time and a lot of money. I can't tell you how much how much I would make an appointment television to watch a law and order style show with you as the lawyer.

And then you just come and it's like, get out! And then it just ends. It's the entire series. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. Shut up! And then the show's over, and everyone knows who.

Because I watch Law & Order, and I like, both sides make good points, and I'm like, not in my show. Not in my show. Not in mine. I'm the only one making the great point. Get out! And they do. And the credits roll.

And then, you know what, society is a lot better. Hey, do I have a right to put up a tent city here? No! Get out! Wouldn't this be a better? country? It would be. You know what? The only answer to this country's problems is a Pat Gray dictatorship. I think it's in the Constitution somewhere. We'll find it if it's not in there. I'm going to start looking right now.

Hillary Kennedy, just on the four-minute buzz, was playing

a clip of KJP, Kri Jong, year. And it was talking about the Republican suppression of votes. in Georgia that the Biden administration was battling about. Despite the fact that there was record turnout again in Georgia, and the fact that their guy won, so she was asked about that, well, what about, what do you guys have to say about the suppression of votes and the Republicans keeping Democrats away from the polls? Well, there was a report on that.

So I'm going to leave it with that report. Oh my gosh. Good job. Good job. And she, I guarantee, read that. Oh, yeah. Read it off a piece of paper. No doubt about it.

She's incapable of speaking unless she's reading something. Wow. At least we know that she can read, which is more than half the other people I could say in the administration. She can read, but that is literally all she can do. Speaking of stupid people, though, we've got another one to tell you about here. And she may not have been making such accurate statements. Jennifer Lawrence will tell you what she had to say, whether or not what she had to say was. true. Coming up in 60 seconds.

Jason wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens. He says, I can't believe the difference. Until recently, my dog slept 23 hours out of the day because of a thyroid problem. That was before we started trying to give her Rough Green's. Now she is the Happy Dance all the way to her bowl. I'm going to use that excuse for sleeping all day.

Yeah, I got a thyroid problem. Yeah, I got to sleep. I like that. I got to sleep. And unfortunately, Rough Green's made for dogs, so no cure. I'm just going to have be in bed for the rest of the day. Look, Rough Green's is not a dog food. supplement that you put sprinkle on top of the dog food. It's developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black and you sprinkle it on the dog food and your dog

Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Actress Jennifer Lawrence, she says some stupid things. Yeah, she's not the brightest bulb. Not bright. And, you know, incredibly progressive, liberal. But this is a weird comment. sort of demeaning all of the women who've done action movies that came before her.

She just said, I remember when I was doing Hunger Games, nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. Would not work. No one had ever thought about it.

Yeah, nobody had ever thought about it, I don't think. Until Jennifer Lawrence, of course, in 2012 with Hunger Games. We were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead. Viola Davis, who's doing the interview of her, replies, oh, absolutely.

Good, good pushback there on that one. Yeah. You know. Oh, we do have it? All right. Let's see that. And hear it. I remember when I was doing Hunger Games,

nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. We were told. Girls and boys can both identify with a male lead. But boys cannot identify with. with a female lead. Oh, absolutely. And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every single one of those beliefs.

Wow, yeah. It's just not, it might have been a belief, but it was dumb. It wasn't true. It's a bad belief. What does Angelina Jolie think about this? I know. There's a bunch of movies lots where she was the lead. One was Tomb Raider.

That came well before 2012. Another was Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yeah. I mean, that was a co, you know, more of a... It was a Brad Pitt and her kind of co-starring thing. Yeah. But she was great in that. Dual leads, yeah.

She was a badass in that. Yeah. I mean, she was at a bunch... I mean, Angelina Jolie has a ton of them. I mean, she's not the only one, obviously. Let's try Sigernie Weaver, perhaps, in aliens. Yeah. It was before

2012. Mila Jovovich who starred in six Resident Evil movies since 2002. Our girl Kate Beckinsale. There's got to be on this list. She was in a bunch of action movies.

Those vampire things. Yeah. I can't remember what the name of it was. Underworld. We should note that she doesn't know she's our girl, but she's kind of our girl. Oh, look at the way she looks at us. Yeah. You could see. If you're watching the screen, you're like, gosh, she's, wow. their longing eyes.

She's looking at me and Pat. Uh-huh. That's just a thing. Yeah, looking at Angelina Jolie. Laura Croft is obviously the Tomb Raider thing. Yeah. She also had, where she was the lead, uh, let's see, Mr.

Mrs. Smith. Mm-hmm. And what was this, a salt, which was an salt? A salt. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But salt. Yes, salt. Yes.

That's right. Uh, she was in that. Not maybe her proudest moment, but it was, uh, Definitely an action movie. Wanted. Oh yeah. Which was definitely an action movie. I see that all the time on Netflix.

I don't watch it, but I see it pop up. I did watch it. That's the one where you could curve the bullets, right? Is it good? Oh yeah, yeah. You know, I kind of did like it. It's fun. It's a little bit of a remnant of that era where everyone was like, what if we completely overproduce every scene? You know?

Oh my gosh, we could do what? We could make bullets. What if every single scene has bullets curving? It was that type of movie. Yeah. But like, in a way, It was so over the top that I really, I liked it. You know, I thought it was, I thought it was solid.

I mean, it was, it's a little ridiculous, but it was also solid. Umma Thurman. Oh my gosh. In Kill Bill. Kill Bill. Yeah. There was, there was, according to the article, I don't, I don't know this. Nikita in 1990.

That only predates Jennifer Lawrence by, let's see, 22 years. So, I mean, Charlie's Angels, they're so many. Oh, God, Charlie's Angels was three. Fiction movies. Female leads. Yeah. Yeah. So many of them.

I don't know where she got this or why she thinks she's the trailblazer here, but we got news for you, Jen. You're not. It seems like one of these things where Hollywood celebrities are so in their own heads, thinking everything about their lives of the most important thing. Yep. And that's kind of, I think, what goes on here, right? I mean, it's embarrassing, though. It's embarrassing, though.

Kate Peckinsale was Underworld, by the way. She was in. Uh-huh. That was a big one. Mm-hmm. And they made a bunch of them. You know, she could just be... Like, how can we put Kate Beckett's sale on leather pants?

Give her this role. And like, look, you know, this would be, I guess, part of the critique of Jennifer Lawrence, maybe. And some of these movies are maybe for older audiences. I mean, I don't know. Is there any argument that she could make? I think, I don't think so. I don't know. No, I don't think so.

Now, look, are guys more common in action movies? Yeah, of course. Sure. Because, typically speaking, though, that is the audience. boys typically. But I will say I have to people ask what's your favorite

I actually had that I didn't interview with a this is a couple of years ago with a conservative entertainment like website and they were like well what's your favorite genre of movies?

There was like and I was like what's my favorite genre I just thought that was an interesting question like but like you know my horror guy I watch a horror movie here and there but no action not really this is what I came up with

these are my two favorite genres movies. They're not full genres. Number one is dramatic retellings of relatively recent historical events. That's a popular genre right there. But it's like, you know, um, and you came up with that on the website? Yes. So it was, um, they're like, anything from World War II. They're like, sorry we even lined this interview up. It took me like 40. Who lined this up with Stubber gear? There's like 40 minutes to come up with that. But it's, I think it's true. Like, it's right. Like, you go back to like, Anything from World War II on.

Okay. Okay. Yep. When you take like an event, and I did, we mentioned it earlier, Lord of War is a perfect example of that genre. Right. We're like, it was a real guy. This is the guy that got traded for Brittany Griner and the, in the, the, uh, the swap that

happened today. Yep. He was a, an arms dealer. Nicholas Cage plays him. It tells his story about how he got into arms dealing and all this stuff. And it's not exactly, you know, 100% accurate when it comes to that telling. It's a somewhat fictionalized. It's based, the based on a true story.

from relatively recent, like Captain Phillips, you know. Yeah. Those types of movies I freaking love. I do too. They're just great and I can watch basically any of them, especially if they're based on a true story and pretty close to it. The other one, my other favorite genre of movies is really hot actress kicking everybody's ass.

I love those movies. They're just great. And like, you know, what was the one we, Atomic Blonde was the one we talked about? Charlie's Theron. Charlize Theron. I love that movie. She goes around, she kicks everybody's butt, she kills a bunch of people, she looks really good doing it. That's the entire movie.

It's great. It's my favorite genre of movie. It's hard to argue with that genre. It's great. It's like these women who weigh like 118 pounds just killing like a 340 pound guy. Yeah, but they're highly trained. They're highly trained, so it works, and I don't care. And all of those movies I love.

And when she said that, I was like, gosh, like, not only is she wrong that they've never tried this. It's an entire genre of movie, and it's my favorite genre of movie. Yep. Yep. And it predated Jennifer Lawrence by a lot. By a lot. By a lot. It's not a close call.

No, it's really not. Now, Atomic Blonde was after Hunger Games, if I'm done. It was. I think it was 2015. 2015. Yeah. By the way, there are plans of an Atomic Blonde 2. Oh, really?

Oh my gosh, I'm not saying I've looked because I have many times because I want a sequel. I think my favorite genre right now is documentaries. I don't know what it is about doc. I can't get enough of them. I don't even count that because that's I'm a huge documentary guy. I've loved them forever. I'll watch almost any documentary. And Netflix has about 714,000 of them.

So many of them. I mean, I'm just scanning through the movies like you do on Netflix and I thought, David Geffen has a documentary? I'm watching it. Music and movie mogul, David Geffen? Gotta see that. Yeah. And before I know it, I'm watching it.

Bruce Lee. Oh my gosh, there's something on Bruce Lee? Why don't I do a deep dive into his life, which I've been on lately? A woman was killed in 1978 in suspicious circumstances and we never solved it. Wait, I've got to find out what happened to this person I never heard of. It's incredible. The true crime, does the true crime stuff suck you in at all? It does.

It does. Yeah, it does. Like, I don't, when they come out with new stuff, I will be, I don't necessarily jump on the bandwagon right away. But the second, I'm three minutes into it, I'm locked in for the entire series. Oh, yeah. Like, I don't know what it is. I've been to several of the crime con events. Do you know these things?

CrimeConncon? Crime Con. It's a true crime convention. No. And you've gone to a convention of it? They're awesome. Are you kidding me? Yeah, really cool.

They happen once a year, I think, you know. Here? In the DFW? No, it's all around the country. Okay. And they're really, really cool. And they always have like the best, like they'll take whatever the big Netflix series is, they have like the lead attorney who is actually arguing the case and they bring them in and they tell their whole story.

They have the presentation, the photos, the documents. They try to like solve the cases. It's really, it's really interesting. And it's one of those things. It's just a rabbit hole. Yeah. Because you start getting into the true crime stuff. There is endless content.

It's all really good. It's amazing how many murders have not been solved. Yes. It's scary. You would think it's only happened a couple of times. About 80% of the murders that happen are solved. That's my impression. If you look at Netflix, I believe we solve 1% of all murders.

It does look like that. And the ones that we do solve, we're always wrong on. The poor people are always improperly imprisoned. That's the Netflix lesson. We don't solve any murders, and when we do solve them, they're wrong. But that's another reason for another documentary. Yes. We do a documentary on the person who spent 35 years in.

prison wrongly accused. I'm a sucker for that stuff, too. I love it. And like some of the characters are so freaking crazy and some of the stories are so crazy. And they do what Law & Order does to you where you, no matter what their pitch is, you sort of believe it. Like it's really hard for me to be critical when I'm watching those things. And this is, of course, why they make documentaries for political positions. Because I don't know the, I'm not an investigator.

I'm not involved in it. in the day-to-day investigations of crime. And based on the stuff they show you, they can lead you down the trail. Like, you watch these documentaries. You're like, oh my gosh, how come they won't let this guy out of prison? Right. And then they, you like, Google it. And the person's like, actually, we have film of him doing it.

Like, wait, they didn't include that? Why? Wait, why would you? That seems like an important element that should have been in the documentary. You should have told us they had film of him doing it, like right at the beginning of the documentary, I think. They don't do that. Triple-8-7-27 back.

I watched documentary just last night on Bob Ross, the PBS painter. Did you really? I've heard about this one. Is it good? I mean, it's okay. Yeah. You know. The worst thing.

It's okay. The worst feeling in the world is getting 45 minutes into a documentary and realizing it's not good. Right. Because there's so many good ones right now. And I just wasted my time on a not so good one. Right. Yeah. I only got a B plus.

This is unacceptable because there are so many. Not even to take into account the war documentaries. Oh, World War II stuff. World War II stuff. It doesn't matter what part of your World War II. I'm watching it. And there is a lot of trash when I'm. comes to World War II documentaries because there's a lot of people who are just like, hey,

anyone, the people will watch anything about World War II. Adolf Hitler was a bad guy and here he is walking and giving a speech and like the really generic and not well done. There are a lot of those with World War II. But you got the war documentaries. You've got the sports documentaries. I can't tell you how many documentaries I've watched. I watched one the other day on a fourth down play for the Arizona Cardinals versus I think

it was maybe the Ravens. I can't even remember. And it was a, it was like a 2004 game where the Arizona Cardo was a documentary on it. It was like one of the, it was a web length documentary. It was like maybe 15, 20 minutes. And I sat there just watching it. And at the end of it was like, that was really great. Why did I watch it? Why do I care? Because it's like set the, yeah, it was one of those things where I think they lost the first overall pick because of it, which meant they missed out on Peyton Manning, which missed it like, it like had this like long series of a domino effect. And I just think it's fascinating to watch that stuff. The sports stuff is fantastic now. And they can make documentaries on one play. Yeah. And it's great. It's incredible. I actually learned something that I had never heard all through

school or in my studies as an adult about World War II. And that's that the French, when we first landed in North Africa and we were fighting, we're about to fight the Nazis. We hadn't had any battles except in the Pacific. And we were sailing into Algeria, which is a French territory. And the Vichy French, so the ones who were really kind of on the side of the Germans, were in charge of it. And the French attacked us and started fighting. Did you know that? I don't think I did. I had no idea. Now we kicked their ass because of it. Oh, they're French. Because, but then they finally switched sides and joined us against the Nazis. But I had no idea that the French attacked American soldiers and ships in World War II.

Never heard that. So you can learn really cool things from these documentaries. I highly recommend them. It is a great genre and you do get to learn a lot from them. You have to be careful, though. There is a lot of propaganda in these documentaries. Oh, yeah. And you have to, but that's what's interesting because if you watch a political documentary,

this is the world we live in, right? Like if political or history, a lot of times you can just sense it. And if you're listening to 10, 15 hours of talk radio every week, you're going to be able to sense where the bias is. You don't know. A lot of people don't get that. And I recognize it in myself when I watch a true crime documentary or something where like, I'm like, you know, gosh, that seems incredible. And then you really do look into the case. And you're like, wait a minute.

They didn't even give you the other side of the story on this. There's a lot more to this story. This is what the media is doing to every one of your neighbors about politics. Right. They don't have the understanding you have. and they're sitting there getting washed over with propaganda like, hey, if you just affirm a gender, you'll cut off your body parts. And that's totally normal and we should do it with kids.

That's what they're hearing all the time. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and like they don't, they don't, not everybody's good at detecting bias, especially if they're spending their time, you know, watching reality TV all day. And then they roll into the voting booth to vote. And then they cancel your vote out after you. You listen to hundreds of hours of talk radio and read thousands of books and newspapers and websites and you've done all this research.

And then your vote counts as much as that idiot down the street. It kind of sucks. It kind of does. This is why I always say don't rock the vote. Don't know. Rock the vote is wrong. Learn then vote. The order is important.

Yes. You really need to do it in that order. Yes. You can't vote then learn. But that's why Democrats do that. That's why they try to rock the vote because they know that they're dealing with people. who have no idea what's going on in the world, and MTV can tell them what's going on in the world.

Yeah. And then they go and vote accordingly. Right. That's why the voting age should be 35. If you can't be president, you can't vote for president. Right. There you go. 35 years old is you got off.

I like it. And you can vote. All right. More of the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stewart coming up. The Glenn Beck Program. Hold on one second. Pat's just giving me documentary pitches here. Too many.

No, there is. There is too many. Too many. Look, when your check engine light comes on, do you have to immediately panic? Yes. Pretty much, unless, of course, you have a way to deal with it.

Yeah. Lots of ridiculous nonsense occurs. Fun. It's a lot of fun. I mean, it's a good way to kick off the holiday season. It's our Christmas party power hour. Stu Does Power Hour.com. Get the details there.

Go to YouTube.com slash Stu Does America. Not a good way to kick off the holiday season or any day at all. is by watching a press conference from KJP. Man, is she bad. I will say. She is so bad. I will say this. I disagree with you on this.

You love it? I love courage on here. I want her to stay around forever. For the show purposes. Yes. She's great. I love her. For sanity and reason and the country.

Not so great. Oh, yeah. Oh, God. I mean, have you ever seen a worse press secretary than she is? I can't conceive of it. I can't even. watch the clips because I keep just focusing on the fact that she's just continually

reading. I don't understand it. Why have a press secretary? All she's going to do is open up a book and look straight down at the book and read her answer, word for word, every single time. I keep saying that we should just save money

and just hire Siri. Because with Siri, you could just put the text in and the text will just have whatever aid is writing her material and put it down. And when they say abortion, just scroll to the abortion, thing and have some intern up there press play on Siri, and you're going to get the exact same performance. Except she'll be able to, Syria will probably pronounce the words right.

It's incredible. Like the other day, in fact, she was pronouncing a Nobel, like a Nobel Peace Prize, noble. Over and over and over. How do you not know what a Nobel Peace Prize is? Really? Have you not been exposed to the word Nobel in your entire life? You're at the White House.

You've risen to one of the most prominent positions. in our culture, in our politics. And you can't handle that. You are the person whose literal job it is to communicate important things from the White House to the people. It's not, by the way, and that is actual the job, actually the job. The job is not to defend Joe Biden at any cost, no matter how much you have to lie. I know she thinks that's what the job is. That's also what Jen Saki thought the job was.

But at least Jen Saki could look at you when she was speaking. Yes. It's incredible. It is. This may be one of the worst hires in the history of the Republic. I think it is. It really is. And I love every second of it.

She's so bad at this. It's so entertaining. I can't get enough of it. Here's a couple of examples from yesterday. Cut seven. Check this out from KJP. What we think happened here is Republicans in Congress have decided that they rather

rather fight against the health and well-being of our troops than protecting them. And we believe that it is a mistake. Reading. what we saw, what we saw happen on the NDAA as it relates to the vaccine mandate. Reading, read the whole time. That entire thing was read word for word. Wow. Why couldn't she just say that?

I don't know. Look, we don't, we think the vaccine. Seriously. Why can't she do it? Look, the vaccine mandate is something we don't, we think needs to stay in place. We think it's important for our military. And while we have really no evidence at this point to back any of this up, we still think it's the right thing to do.

At least it would be, at least it would be how humans talk. to each other. Right. No what... Give her a prompter if she's going to read everything. But it got worse. And listen to this. There was record turnout in the primary.

There was record turnout in the general. Record turnout in the runoff. In flip it to the page. Absentee ballots and in-person voting. So is the DOJ going to drop their lawsuit against the state? I can't speak to DOJ's actions and what we're going to do it. What I can't say and not going to get into specifics of your question, but you guys, you all reported this that there was.

suppression that we saw that throughout through that throughout the Georgia election so that is something that was been reported on so I leave it to those reports even with that the American people came out that is an incredibly stupid answer incredibly stupid answer I should reverse myself and tell her never never answer a question without reading I'm now completely flip-flopped my previous comments because that was one she actually tried to say without reading it and you heard how it came out. So stop doing that. Go back to the reading. You've all reported and I'm going to stick to the report. Wait, what? This is incoherent, Pat. It is. Look, it made no sense at the time.

The law didn't do any of the things they said it did. It didn't oppress voters. It didn't suppress voters. It didn't do any of those things. They were always lies. What used to happen, I feel like, though, is they would lie at the beginning and then say, wow, well, I guess that didn't happen. And we would just all move on. Instead, they're trying to say it still occurred. That's the amazing thing. And they do that. Virtually on everything.

And everything. How is this possible? We all know they had record turnout in this state. The New York Times ran a big piece to try to justify this a couple days ago. And they said, well, did you know that mail-in voting was down 81%? Well, it was a freaking pandemic in 2020. You're comparing it to 2020? Yeah.

Well, of course, mail-in voting. and vote. People wanted to vote at home back in the pandemic days. When the pandemic was raging, people were like, you know what, why risk it? Why go out? And look, you know, we can all make fun of that. But like, there was a time where people really uncertain. A lot of people are older and vulnerable to this. Like, there was a time where people really had some serious fears about going out and getting in a small room or a booth that someone had just been breathing or coughing in. And like, while that, you know, probably was overblown, for most people, at least, unless you were extremely vulnerable, I can understand why people

were like, well, I've got the choice. I'll vote from home by mail. Fine. And then now that they still have that option, they decided not to do it because that's how they've always voted. They've always voted in person until recently. So they get more votes, set records,

but people are coming to the polls and then they say that's suppression. How can that be more people voted? And then they tell us things like don't confuse suppression with access. wait, if people are voting, that must mean they have access. But every day, they just keep piling it on.

As you would say, Pat, but stupid. It is. Yeah, it absolutely is. And it's ridiculous because Georgia increased the days and the times you could vote. Texas increased the days. the days and the times you could vote. Early voting was extended. And the one thing that they clung to

was the fact that I think on Sundays during early voting, the closing time at the poll went from 7 o'clock to 5 o'clock. And so we suppressed the vote. I thought it was like 2 o'clock or something because they were complaining they couldn't get there after church. That was the big complaint.

Because liberals love church so much. Oh, man. They just love it. And they can't. They're almost constant. You can't leave early, I'll tell you that. No way. They will not leave church early or ever go.

But that was the big complaint that I guess some inner city black churches would not be able to get there, get the vote out effort fully because on Sunday, because they couldn't vote any of the other days. Right. Only on Sunday. Because I guess what they would do, and this was, I don't know, somewhat revealing, is they would have people come into church and then they would basically preach on getting out to vote.

in parentheses for Democrats, and they would take them by bus and everyone would take a caravan over to vote after church. Now, look, have you ever in your entire life voted on a Sunday, Pat? No, not once. Not once. In my entire life, if I voted on Sunday. If you really can't make it there on Election Day, it is a reasonable thing to be able to request an absentee ballot and vote that way. I know, I've done it many times. We worked in New York City.

I had an hour and a half commute. I could not get back. Plus, a lot of times on Election Day, we were out of town. That's what I mean. Somewhere else. I lived in Pennsylvania. I had an hour and a half commute to get to work in New York when we worked in the city and Fox News and all that stuff was going on. We covered elections.

So there wasn't like I did the radio show and came home. We sat there until 2 o'clock in the morning talking and blabbing about whatever election was going on. I had no ability to vote in person that day. I didn't have an opening. So I would vote absentee. That's a reasonable compromise for people. Another reasonable compromise. You're in the military.

You happen to be in Afghanistan because Joe Biden left you there. You want to vote. Right? Like, of course we should have absentee voting for people like that. It makes sense. And we've always had that. And now all of a sudden they're like, well, what if we just send out balance to every house in America?

And just, you know, people, and this is what they want because they want people who have not put one ounce of thought into any of these issues deciding the elections. That's what they want. Which is also why they're trying to lower the voting age to 16. Because they want people who are stupid. 16-year-olds are just dumb for the most part. Yes. Most of them. Not a universal law.

No. But the most... A pretty solid one. The most closely associated attribute to youth is stupidity. Yes. And we all know it. That's not even bashing young people. I was a young person once and I was the smartest person in the world at that time.

Of course, that's probably what I believed. But like, just think about it. When you're born, you don't even know how to feed yourself. And slowly, you're able to solve that problem with knowledge. And by the time you get to 16 years old, you haven't solved the, I know how life works thing yet in most cases. Right. Right.

It takes time. It takes time to do that. Yeah. And of course the left wants to do that because they know they'd get every vote of 16 and 17 year olds. And what's great is that they're acting as if some of the accommodations we made for 2020 because of the pandemic. And it was completely out of control at that time. And nobody wanted to be around other people. So they allowed you to just drive by and drop off your ballot at a drop box.

well now for some reason we have to keep that forever i mean if you ever try to remove the drop boxes then you're suppressing the vote i mean some of these things don't need to happen anymore they were a one-time occurrence for that specific purpose so you didn't have to be around to people in a line on election day you could just drop off your ballot at the drop box and this is why it's such an advantage there's no need for that now no of course not it's ridiculous if every drop box they want it to be they want 24 hour voting

why on earth why on earth 24 hour and importantly a 24 hour unattended voting boxes is what they want why on earth

would you need that you could have I'm saying what legitimate reason we can all come up with illegitimate reasons why they would want that but legitimately

look a person let's say a person works overnights he sleeps all day come up with whatever scenario you want there's no reason we couldn't

staff it. Right. Even in the idea of 24-hour voting, you could staff. And they're like, well, that would intimidate people if there's someone there watching. Come on, you don't believe that. It's ridiculous. And they know this is all nonsense. And this is why it's great to be on the left.

Because the media will take obvious arguments and tell the opposite side of them. Like, for example, you brought this up. 2020, we've got the pandemic. We make a bunch of changes. Make those changes right. or wrong, agree with them, disagree with them. There's a sensible reason why we were talking about those things at that time. It made sense.

We didn't know. There could have been a much worse variant that happened. You want to have a chance for people. Think of elderly people in Florida who wanted to go out and vote and might not have been able to. They took precautions so they could have other ways to vote. Okay, fine. Don't even debate whether that's right or wrong. All we could say is we massively increased access in 2020 for this period.

Right. Okay. So when 2022 happens. and people make changes to laws, there is absolutely no argument to compare voting access from 2020 to 2022. The only sensible argument would be to compare it to 2018. That way you're saying, okay, we're taking out this one-time thing, once in a hundred-year pandemic,

and we're going to look at this, what were the laws in 2018, what are the laws in 2022? And in all of these circumstances, the laws were loosened, made it easier to vote in 2022 as it compared to 2018. They just got rid of some of the real outlier craziness from the pandemic era, and only a little bit of it. And they are, and they just cut back on the drop boxes. And they went, the media went lockstep and said,

the only way to look at this is to compare it to 2020. It's the only way. If they took any availability for you to vote away from the 2020 pandemic, they are suppressing the black vote. And they argued it. They never deviated from it. and they're still arguing it today. That's why it's so much easier to be on the left.

We should all just switch. It doesn't make any sense. Done. Why do we adopt this hard life? Right. It's so much easier to go the other way. It's a good point, Sto. AAA 727 B, E, CK.

Well, and you say something is your specialty. What exactly do you mean by that? I mean, we're on the radio. We're blabbing all the time. Is that our specialty? I guess I, you know, you can argue. I mean, Glenn's, I guess, good at it when he has a voice. I mean, he's in the radio,

of Fame, so I guess we have to give him some credit, but I think that was, I think there's something, you know, we want to talk about stolen on elections. There's one. That's what I can get on board with fully. That was definitely, somehow Glenn broke into the ballot boxes and got himself into the Radio Hall of Fame. But if you're talking about real estate agents, you want someone who is a special, who, it really has a specialty in real estate. A lot of people don't. They were, and they work kind of real estate on the side, or they kind of know what they're doing, or they just started or, hey, it's my, my, my, your friend's son just started. And you can really help him out if you have him as your agent. Look, I understand you, you're a nice person and you want to do

nice things for other people, but you better get the best agent in your town. This is a tough market. You better make sure you're doing the best that you can on the buying or selling side.

For some reason, he's got a little bit of laryngitis. Now, this is interesting. We didn't get to this earlier, but this is fantastic from Southwest Airlines. Your bags fly free, of course. But free speech can't fly at all with Southwest. And that's why they fired one of their flight attendants. It was a lifetime dream to be a flight attendant.

she became one, but then she posted something on Facebook about being pro-life. She'd like babies to be born. And of course, Southwest Airlines can't abide that. No. So they fired her. Good. Yeah. Finally.

Right? Finally. How dare you do something that has nothing to do with Southwest Airlines in your spare time online? How dare you? Especially something as egregious, though, as saying that babies should live? Yeah. You know. Wow.

How many do we need? We've had a lot of them over the years. We have too many, I'll tell you that right now. You know, population control. The population bomb is coming, Pat. And as far as I understand, I think the right amount of people in the world is 12. Is it? It's 12.

We're considerably above that now. There's over 100 people now. Really? Yeah. Over 100 people. I don't know about that. I have to check that. But I think it's high.
