The Glenn Beck Program - 10⧸5⧸17 - Removing the Second Amendment

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:09.040 Love. Courage. Truth.

00:00:13.680 Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.620 Pat Gray for Glenn.

00:00:16.260 888-727-BECK.

00:00:20.140 Glenn is on vacation.

00:00:22.040 He'll be back on Monday.

00:00:24.180 There is a lot to talk about.

00:00:26.360 A lot of new developments in the Las Vegas shooting,

00:00:31.540 some of which confirmed, some of which, well,

00:00:34.380 actually not much of anything is confirmed,

00:00:36.640 but there's a lot of speculation.

00:00:38.640 And the sheriff in Las Vegas has opened up some questions,

00:00:44.640 maybe some cans of worms that I'm sure the FBI probably doesn't appreciate.

00:00:50.480 For instance, asking if he'd been radicalized.

00:00:53.800 Here's what he said yesterday.

00:00:55.400 I want to understand the motivation that you describe, okay,

00:00:59.220 to prevent any featured incidents.

00:01:01.580 And, you know, did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us?

00:01:06.020 And we want to identify that source.

00:01:08.000 So, was he radicalized as in Islamic extremism?

00:01:12.900 The FBI has stated emphatically on multiple occasions that they don't see any tie

00:01:21.360 between him and terror groups at all.

00:01:23.940 But he has brought up a few issues, like the radicalization and was there a second shooter,

00:01:34.540 which others think is highly likely as well,

00:01:37.800 because this guy had no military training at all.

00:01:41.880 And he was kind of a pudgy 64-year-old guy.

00:01:45.500 Apparently, these weapons are difficult to handle and maneuver,

00:01:49.440 and it's just not easy to just go into a room and start mowing people down with these things.

00:01:55.080 And Zero Hedge had a list of 16 questions.

00:02:00.180 Some of them, I think, have been answered.

00:02:03.060 Others are maybe somewhat valid.

00:02:07.180 One of the questions they ask is,

00:02:09.500 the photo of Stephen Paddock's hotel room has been leaked,

00:02:15.100 and it appears that there's a suicide note on the desk.

00:02:19.520 And we haven't been told about that at all.

00:02:21.360 Nobody said what the contents of that were.

00:02:24.260 But they said it was not a suicide note.

00:02:26.700 They did say it was not a suicide note.

00:02:29.960 And were there additional shooters?

00:02:31.780 A taxi driver reportedly captured video of an automatic weapon being fired out of a lower-level window.

00:02:37.020 I don't see how that's possible, because those windows don't open.

00:02:41.220 You have to break them out, which is what he did from the 32nd floor.

00:02:45.560 So there's no other broken windows.

00:02:47.820 So I discount that one, too.

00:02:49.900 Law enforcement authorities were discussing another suspect on the fourth floor,

00:02:56.360 but that happens all the time in the early moments of these kinds of shootings.

00:03:01.020 There's always chaos, and there's almost always the threat that there's a second shooter.

00:03:07.520 They're always asking that question, and it almost always turns out to be not the case.

00:03:12.440 How did he get 42 guns and several thousand rounds of ammo into his hotel room without anyone noticing?

00:03:22.540 I don't know.

00:03:23.000 Suitcases?

00:03:23.600 Luggage?

00:03:24.120 Yeah.

00:03:24.780 I don't know.

00:03:25.280 He was there since Thursday.

00:03:27.560 Right.

00:03:27.980 Yeah, he was there days in advance.

00:03:29.740 You come and go.

00:03:30.460 Nobody can come in with a couple of bags at a time.

00:03:34.140 How did someone with no military background and wasn't a gun guy at all operate such advanced weapons?

00:03:40.340 That's another one of their questions.

00:03:42.440 You know, not being a gun guy myself, I don't know how big a deal that is.

00:03:46.940 I have an AR-15.

00:03:48.280 It looks like some of the weapons he had were AR-15-ish, and it's not that hard to operate.

00:03:54.360 You know, you point and shoot.

00:03:57.000 So, but he had the bump stock weapons, the bump fire stock, and so it wasn't an automatic weapon, right?

00:04:07.700 It was the bump fire thing.

00:04:08.780 Um, also, one of the weirdest things that happened that has not been answered yet at all by anyone that I've heard is who was that woman telling people in the crowd 45 minutes before the shooting began that they were all going to effing die?

00:04:27.820 Is that, and then he ordered room service for two.

00:04:33.240 Now, either he was just having a really big last meal or somebody was with him.

00:04:37.180 Was it her?

00:04:38.320 I don't know.

00:04:39.400 It's possible, right?

00:04:40.660 It's possible.

00:04:41.340 Yeah.

00:04:41.580 It's also possible that you have crazy people running through a concert telling them they're all going to die.

00:04:46.680 But what a weird coincidence that would be.

00:04:49.620 Really weird coincidence.

00:04:51.780 Why did it take law enforcement?

00:04:53.220 Now, we were told, including by the president, that law enforcement got there, they found out where he was so quickly.

00:05:00.260 It took him 72 minutes to get into his hotel room.

00:05:04.100 72 minutes.

00:05:05.680 That doesn't seem that quick to me.

00:05:08.960 I mean, the shooting had stopped for over an hour before they finally got into his room.

00:05:13.020 Yeah, that doesn't seem quick, but, you know.

00:05:17.600 But, again, I'm not a law enforcement official, so I don't know if that's maybe.

00:05:22.460 They're going floor by floor, even though you still have, you know where the windows are blown out,

00:05:26.060 you don't know what's happening below those windows, above them, you know, you're moving through that.

00:05:31.220 Apparently, they spent some time on the 31st floor looking for him, and then they realized it was above them.

00:05:38.240 Why did he wire $100,000 to the Philippines?

00:05:41.340 Was it just for the girlfriend?

00:05:43.020 Did her, did she know what was about to happen?

00:05:49.480 She was interviewed by authorities a little bit yesterday, and we expect more extensive interviews and statements coming out later on today.

00:05:59.020 Yeah, the FBI said that not only, I mean, one of the reports was not only that they were questioning her, but that she was assisting them, right?

00:06:06.260 So that sounds like she was actually, you know, trying to help.

00:06:09.140 Right.

00:06:09.980 And get, figure out what happened.

00:06:11.580 Uh, also, he was on antidepressants.

00:06:15.580 Could that have contributed to this?

00:06:18.380 Now, there was extensive planning, so it's not like he just snapped because he took a pill and it went wrong in his head.

00:06:25.200 I mean, there was some, there was some extensive planning going on here.

00:06:29.360 In fact, I was reading a story yesterday that wondered if he'd been planning this for decades.

00:06:37.020 That doesn't seem likely, but maybe, I don't know.

00:06:40.860 And then there were also reports that he had rented another room down the strip and was scoping out a concert that took place the week before that, you know, didn't transpire, obviously.

00:06:54.620 But, I mean, was it, was, so was this the secondary concert?

00:06:58.120 Like, ah, couldn't get the first one right, so I'll do this one.

00:07:01.720 Maybe.

00:07:02.560 We may never know.

00:07:02.880 Yeah, we, we, that's true.

00:07:04.520 The way that the sheriff has acted with, you know, he, he believed that there's no way he, this guy worked alone.

00:07:10.900 And by that, I think he meant, means more that somebody has to know what this guy was up to.

00:07:17.880 It seemed like the sheriff was like, somebody had to know he didn't do all this by himself.

00:07:23.520 Maybe he did.

00:07:24.940 Maybe.

00:07:25.980 Maybe.

00:07:26.660 I mean, we obviously want.

00:07:27.640 The sheriff seems to think that's a superhuman effort if he did.

00:07:30.300 Right.

00:07:30.660 But, you know, look.

00:07:32.220 I don't know.

00:07:33.240 Maybe he did.

00:07:33.560 Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

00:07:34.360 I mean, we all want the, the, the why closure.

00:07:37.460 It's also incredibly strange that a man that wealthy would do something like this.

00:07:42.280 I can't think of a, an instance of this happening with a wealthy person ever before.

00:07:50.480 Is it with a millionaire?

00:07:51.680 How many millionaires go out and, and commit mass murder?

00:07:54.920 Not that many.

00:07:55.840 No, I, I, I, I'm guessing the percentage is fairly rare.

00:07:59.120 Yeah.

00:07:59.440 It's fairly rare.

00:08:00.820 Uh, and then, then the question about why a country music festival was chosen as a target.

00:08:05.620 Is that, is that because you believe mostly conservatives are gathered there?

00:08:10.080 Is this a political statement?

00:08:11.580 Do you think they're Trump supporters and you're justified in what you're doing?

00:08:14.600 Or was it the secondary point?

00:08:16.460 Because the concert, uh, the week before was, uh, I think it was a rap show.

00:08:19.840 So, uh, you know, they, they were saying that, uh, so that confused them as to why he did the country one.

00:08:27.400 Uh, so again, we just, why hopefully we'll get some answers, but we may not, you know, we just may never know.

00:08:34.260 So, uh, 888-727-BECK.

00:08:40.080 Also, uh, Michael Moore has shared some wisdom because the.

00:08:44.480 Oh, good.

00:08:44.960 Second Amendment, uh, to the Constitution is so ancient.

00:08:48.520 Well, he hates.

00:08:49.260 And outdated.

00:08:50.000 And so he's done a little bit of an upgrade for us.

00:08:54.260 And all we have to do is accept the, the brilliant work he's done and, uh, and ratify this as the, as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.

00:09:04.500 Nice.

00:09:04.880 Which, of course, repeals the Second Amendment.

00:09:06.460 He's already put the work in.

00:09:08.160 Here's what would happen.

00:09:09.180 Uh, he says, as over 90% of gun violence is committed by men, in order for a man to purchase a gun, he must first get a waiver from his current wife.

00:09:20.200 Plus, his most recent ex-wife or any woman with whom he is currently in a relationship.

00:09:26.900 If he's gay, he must get the waiver from his male spouse or partner.

00:09:32.100 Okay.

00:09:32.620 This law has greatly reduced most spousal domestic gun murders in Canada.

00:09:37.440 Canada has such a rule?

00:09:39.380 I.

00:09:40.160 Come on, that can't be.

00:09:41.660 If you say so.

00:09:42.500 That can't be.

00:09:45.240 Uh, further, all automatic and semi-automatic guns are banned.

00:09:49.820 Oh, okay.

00:09:50.540 Sure.

00:09:51.160 No gun or clip can hold more than six bullets.

00:09:55.000 Uh, to activate a gun for it to be used, the trigger must recognize the fingerprint of the registered owner.

00:10:00.600 This will eliminate most crimes committed with a gun, as 80% of these crimes are done with a stolen gun.

00:10:08.240 One's guns must be stored at a licensed gun club or government-regulated gun storage facility.

00:10:15.260 Believing that having a gun in your home provides you with protection is an American myth.

00:10:21.080 Is it?

00:10:21.540 Well, tell that to the people who've used a gun for protection in their homes.

00:10:25.800 People who die from a home invasion make up a sad but minuscule 0.04% of all gun murders in the United States.

00:10:34.740 And over a third of them are killed by their own gun that the criminal is either stolen or wrestled from them.

00:10:39.960 To own and operate a gun, one must obtain a license, like one does to operate a car.

00:10:44.920 To get a license, you have to complete a gun training and safety course and pass through a background check.

00:10:49.660 As nearly half of all gun deaths or suicides, mental health care must become a top national priority and must be properly funded.

00:10:59.820 And by making it more difficult to purchase a gun and requiring its storage outside the home, easy access during a suicidal moment is denied.

00:11:07.340 Current restrictions placed on centers for disease control due to successful lobbying by the NRA have prohibited them from studying the gun violence epidemic in the United States.

00:11:18.040 These rules need to be removed and the funding restored.

00:11:23.180 For those who believe it's impossible to do all this, let me close by sharing with you two important facts.

00:11:27.560 One, we are not a country of gun nuts.

00:11:29.660 77% of all Americans do not own a gun.

00:11:32.320 If three quarters of the country has decided they have no need for a gun, three quarters of the country may also decide they have no need for an archaic amendment.

00:11:40.500 Let's do a survey on that.

00:11:42.860 Let's find out who believes the Second Amendment is archaic and who believes it's still necessary.

00:11:49.340 When President Obama tried to get Congress to pass simple, common-sense gun control legislation after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary,

00:11:56.520 polls showed 90% of the country backed him.

00:11:58.620 Yeah, well, that's because they didn't understand what was being said there.

00:12:03.280 I mean, those kinds of polls are easily spun, and that one certainly was.

00:12:09.980 I mean, Michael Moore.

00:12:11.360 This is just insanity.

00:12:13.480 We need to check into the Canadian law, though, because I don't believe that in order to get a gun in Canada,

00:12:20.000 you've got to get a permission slip from your wife.

00:12:22.120 Heck, that just can't be.

00:12:25.100 888-727-BECK.

00:12:27.380 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:32.900 Glenn Beck.

00:12:39.320 Glenn Beck.

00:12:41.580 Pat Gray for Glenn.

00:12:43.300 And Jeffy here, too.

00:12:44.540 You can listen to me now every weekday, Monday through Friday, on the Blaze Radio Network, noon Eastern.

00:12:52.600 888-727-BECK.

00:12:55.540 Another great story of an American hero is this security guard, the hotel security guard.

00:13:01.580 Guy's unarmed.

00:13:02.580 His name is Jesus Campos.

00:13:05.140 He had no weapon, and he's the one who finally figured out that the killer was on the 32nd floor.

00:13:13.080 And he approached the hotel room, and the psycho inside fired through the door, hitting him in the leg.

00:13:22.040 Well, he stayed there.

00:13:24.580 Got police involved.

00:13:27.040 When the police approached the room, Paddock fired about 200 rounds through the door at the police officers.

00:13:35.440 So they fell back and waited for SWAT to come.

00:13:38.160 But even though Jesus Campos was wounded, he'd been shot in the leg, he continued to go door to door to clear the floor to make sure of the safety of the people staying in that hotel on that floor.

00:13:55.620 To make sure that they didn't become victims as well.

00:13:58.840 I mean, he was so committed that the police officers had to order him to leave because he was wounded and he needed to be tended to.

00:14:09.700 Pretty amazing.

00:14:11.360 No killer.

00:14:12.080 And then finally, about an hour after Paddock quit firing, the SWAT team entered the hotel room by blowing the doors off with explosives.

00:14:21.320 And that's when he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

00:14:26.080 But what an amazing, what an amazing guy this Jesus Campos must be.

00:14:35.340 He said, security professionals in those kinds of venues, whether it's a bank or a hotel or Disney World, I'm telling you that I don't think our officers are recognized enough for the valuable role that they play in protecting property, people, and even the nation.

00:14:52.580 It's for sure.

00:14:55.800 Tough to argue that.

00:14:56.900 Yeah, it sure is.

00:14:59.080 So, Campos was well enough to try to leave the hospital not long after the shooting.

00:15:03.540 He wanted to leave right away.

00:15:05.880 Even that night, but was kept there by staff and police who wanted to monitor him and just make sure that everything was okay.

00:15:12.840 Pretty amazing guy.

00:15:14.620 And deserves an awful lot of credit.

00:15:18.380 Just a lot of bravery from that guy.

00:15:20.960 Okay.

00:15:22.520 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck.

00:15:25.320 Mark in Idaho.

00:15:27.000 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:28.420 Hi.

00:15:30.460 Idaho, you mean Indiana.

00:15:32.120 Oh, is it Indiana?

00:15:32.820 Okay.

00:15:33.300 It says Idaho on the screen.

00:15:37.300 Indiana, Idaho, same thing.

00:15:40.040 No, Indiana, totally.

00:15:41.520 We're the corn state.

00:15:42.500 Okay.

00:15:42.800 Yeah, but when they take our weapons away, people are just going to resort to improvise explosive devices.

00:15:50.580 It'll do even more damage.

00:15:52.640 They'll come up with other ways.

00:15:54.140 You know, if you've got a psycho out there, and it's not as a mental illness or nothing like that, they're going to find out this guy probably.

00:16:01.940 And I'll just, he planned it out very well.

00:16:04.760 He wasn't military trained.

00:16:05.840 You're right.

00:16:06.220 But anybody can do this.

00:16:08.260 You know, like in the military, we were told, you know, be careful.

00:16:11.340 You know, them little Israeli women, you know, you mess with them, they'll mess you up.

00:16:15.920 And everybody laughed about it until, you know, one of them got a hold of somebody, you know, just during practice and stuff.

00:16:21.960 So, yeah, I don't believe we should be messing with our gun laws and stuff.

00:16:26.640 I don't know about this thing in Canada where you've got to ask your wife's permission.

00:16:30.800 Oh, my God.

00:16:31.320 You know how many women would get even with their husband?

00:16:33.640 Oh, I was married to that prick for, you know, how long?

00:16:36.000 And look at this.

00:16:36.700 You know, no, don't give him no weapons.

00:16:38.560 Right.

00:16:39.640 You know, nobody would go hunting or anything.

00:16:41.880 And it's, you know, this is all just like they don't, you know, I was telling the guy before that interviewed me, the way it goes, you know, like with the health care stuff.

00:16:51.520 They do not want to do anything for the people.

00:16:54.220 These politicians, they don't even have Obamacare.

00:16:57.040 They're supposed to.

00:16:58.060 But, you know, they purged themselves and said they're a business of 45 employees or less.

00:17:02.980 And they've got special insurance that covers everything.

00:17:05.760 Yeah.

00:17:06.000 Where with my wife and I, I'm a disabled vet.

00:17:08.500 My wife has the Obamacare.

00:17:10.500 She loses about every other month.

00:17:12.820 We have to fight and do this bureaucracy paperwork.

00:17:15.440 And, you know, they just want to add more and more on top of you.

00:17:18.460 And she doesn't get the health care.

00:17:20.040 You know, she's almost died a few times with it.

00:17:22.460 Our government is not taking care of us.

00:17:24.900 They're not helping us.

00:17:25.980 And they're not trying to fix the solution.

00:17:27.820 You know, they just want to block Trump just out of, you know, hate and discontent and keep us busy paying attention to the mama drama.

00:17:35.060 Instead of standing up and saying, look, we're going to kick you to the curb, start doing what we need you to do.

00:17:40.240 And that is take care of the people and pass laws and fix things that are supposed to be fixed.

00:17:44.380 Quit spending our money on junk.

00:17:46.280 Yeah.

00:17:46.480 Yeah, the problem is we don't kick them to the curb often enough, Mark.

00:17:50.840 If we kick them to the curb through the election process a lot more than we do, we wouldn't have a lot of the problems we have.

00:17:58.200 So some of this is self-inflicted because we just keep voting them back into office over and over and over again.

00:18:07.020 So part of it is our fault, but you're right.

00:18:11.960 They certainly aren't concerned about the will of the people.

00:18:16.900 Appreciate the call.

00:18:17.760 Thanks.

00:18:18.020 Jason in Florida.

00:18:19.400 Hi, you're on with Pat Gray.

00:18:22.720 Jason?

00:18:25.320 You're reading Michael Moore's demand list.

00:18:29.000 He kind of undermined his own argument and anybody in support of gun control

00:18:33.720 when he said that 80% of these crimes are committed with stolen guns,

00:18:39.620 then why would you want to impose gun control?

00:18:43.780 Yeah, it's silly.

00:18:47.060 I mean, the guy is a lunatic.

00:18:51.000 But we knew that already.

00:18:54.220 That's not a surprise to very many people.

00:18:57.360 888-727-BECK.

00:18:59.560 888-727-BECK.

00:19:01.760 It's Pat Gray for Glenn.

00:19:03.720 On the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:17.140 Glenn Beck.

00:19:22.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:25.160 With Pat Gray today and Jeffy.

00:19:28.760 Strange how much talking the brother of this killer is doing.

00:19:34.400 Usually the families of these guys kind of lay low and don't really want to talk a lot.

00:19:40.940 This guy seems to enjoy talking to the media.

00:19:43.200 Yeah.

00:19:43.920 It's strange because we've often said that people don't realize a lot of times when they're put in the spotlight.

00:19:52.260 You don't have to talk to the cameras.

00:19:54.480 No.

00:19:54.780 You know, the object you can go to when they come to your front yard, you can say,

00:19:57.540 go away or not go out there.

00:20:00.280 Right.

00:20:00.740 Not face them at all.

00:20:01.640 Just because they show up at your house doesn't mean you have to talk to them.

00:20:05.120 He's out in his driveway with this gaggle of media.

00:20:08.960 Looks like two, four, six, eight, maybe ten cameras and reporters.

00:20:13.820 And he kind of held court with them for half an hour in a rambling televised interview in Florida.

00:20:23.560 Uh, the brother of the killer said, we, uh, we're wealthy people.

00:20:30.540 A hundred thousand dollars isn't that much money.

00:20:32.520 He gambled that much through a machine in hours.

00:20:35.880 He's got the highest level of membership card at a lot of these hotels.

00:20:40.200 If a lot of these hotels say they don't know Steve, they're lying.

00:20:43.880 But his brother also didn't love the casino.

00:20:46.600 The casino was a means to an end.

00:20:49.100 The casino to him was like a job in Toyota in Japan, where you live in the Toyota apartments across the street.

00:20:55.520 And then you go to the Toyota factory to work.

00:20:57.840 That's what the casino was to him.

00:20:59.740 It's a place where you lived and they were nice to you.

00:21:03.060 And you could get paid by playing slots.

00:21:06.720 People would bring you sandwiches and drinks.

00:21:09.000 Well, yeah.

00:21:09.500 And pay for vacations.

00:21:10.660 I mean, the casinos, if you're, if you spend a lot of money with them, they do put you up for free.

00:21:16.780 You know, they pay for your dinners a lot of times because they know they're going to, they're going to get you in the end.

00:21:21.580 They, they know you're going to lose a lot of money to them.

00:21:25.120 Yeah.

00:21:25.440 That's what there is.

00:21:27.460 They're not just really wonderful philanthropists.

00:21:30.440 I don't know if you're aware of that.

00:21:32.160 Yeah.

00:21:33.060 Uh, his brother says he didn't have a lot of friends.

00:21:35.840 Uh, he was a private person.

00:21:37.620 There's a story about he's, oh, he kept his shades closed and he didn't talk to me for the first three times he saw me walking in the neighborhood.

00:21:45.780 Wow.

00:21:46.200 That makes him really weird.

00:21:47.140 Doesn't it?

00:21:47.760 And he was a private guy.

00:21:49.880 Uh, that's why you can find out anything about him.

00:21:52.780 That's why there's no pictures.

00:21:54.660 Is he such a weirdo because he didn't have a Facebook page and posted 50,000 pictures of himself every day?

00:22:00.240 Who's weird?

00:22:01.000 And wow, the brother is, thank you, pretty adamant about defending this guy who just murdered 58 people and injured 500 more.

00:22:11.860 But I guess, you know, he's his brother.

00:22:16.200 Well, yeah.

00:22:17.340 Right.

00:22:17.780 He's just like everyone else trying to make sense of what happened.

00:22:21.940 And you just, you can't.

00:22:22.960 I don't think you can.

00:22:23.400 You can't make any sense out of this.

00:22:24.520 No.

00:22:24.620 Uh, they're trying to turn to the, okay, maybe it, maybe it was the antidepressant that turned him aggressive.

00:22:30.640 I don't know.

00:22:31.500 There's a heck of a lot of planning that went into this.

00:22:34.320 Uh, and so he didn't just snap because he planned this for a long time.

00:22:40.020 And he even barricaded the stairwells at the hotel so that the police couldn't get up to him via the stairs.

00:22:48.660 They had to take the elevator to get up there, uh, which is what I'd rather do anyway.

00:22:53.120 I'm not getting to the 32nd floor.

00:22:55.040 I'll tell you that.

00:22:55.560 Not in the stairwell.

00:22:57.360 But you're a police officer.

00:22:58.920 I don't care.

00:22:59.600 Yeah.

00:22:59.960 I'm sorry.

00:23:00.860 Taking the elevator.

00:23:01.560 Um, Matt in New York.

00:23:04.920 Hi.

00:23:05.380 Welcome.

00:23:05.820 How you doing?

00:23:06.320 Doing good.

00:23:07.120 How you doing?

00:23:08.160 Hey, listen, I'm a, I'm a dual citizen, Canada and U.S.

00:23:11.120 I, I go back and forth quite a bit.

00:23:12.640 I have guns in both countries legally.

00:23:14.460 I don't carry them over the border though.

00:23:16.300 I never want to get into that.

00:23:18.680 Yeah.

00:23:18.880 But in, in, in Canada, uh, the question has been asked all over the world.

00:23:24.580 Why, why are gun, gun deaths statistically lower in Canada?

00:23:29.360 I don't even know that they are.

00:23:30.660 They could be, but it doesn't seem like we have this kind of a thing in Canada as often,

00:23:34.740 but it is a bit more regulated to get a rifle.

00:23:38.620 You do not need to ask your wife or girlfriend.

00:23:41.420 Okay.

00:23:41.900 That's that, that, that I can tell you for sure.

00:23:44.320 They give you a firearm, Canadian firearms safety course book.

00:23:48.680 It's about 300 pages.

00:23:50.560 You go to the police station and you get an extensive background check.

00:23:55.840 They, they sell you this book, read it.

00:23:58.100 You go do a written test.

00:23:59.740 Then the Royal Canadian Mounted Police set you up and you go and do a practical test where

00:24:05.240 you can break down a gun, shoot it, the whole thing and make sure you're capable.

00:24:10.020 Yeah.

00:24:10.420 And those people, those people are trained to look for mental problems, you know, at a certain level.

00:24:18.480 They're only with you for maybe a half an hour, but they're trained to look for certain things,

00:24:22.280 I believe.

00:24:22.940 Hmm.

00:24:23.380 And then once they pass you, you have a, you have a license just like your driver's license

00:24:28.340 and you're good to go.

00:24:29.340 You, you, you, you can go buy as many rifles as you want and you need that to buy ammunition

00:24:33.700 and, uh, you're good to go.

00:24:35.900 Is the gun registered, is, is there a national registry?

00:24:39.620 There was.

00:24:40.480 And the same people that built Obamacare so badly built that registry and it was, it was

00:24:46.500 a disaster.

00:24:47.700 And the conservative government of Stephen Harper, uh, nine years ago, he got rid of, he,

00:24:53.260 he took it apart and there is not there.

00:24:55.360 Yes, there was not one anymore.

00:24:57.120 Huh.

00:24:58.160 All right.

00:24:58.620 Uh, appreciate the info.

00:24:59.720 I didn't think, you know, it doesn't make sense that you would have to get permission

00:25:03.020 from your wife or your girlfriend in order to buy a firearm.

00:25:06.880 That just doesn't make any sense.

00:25:08.160 I don't know where, I don't know where Michael Moore got that, but he, he alleged that in

00:25:13.160 Canada, you have to do that.

00:25:14.680 And that's cut down a lot of the domestic violence there.

00:25:17.200 That's greatly reduced.

00:25:18.600 Greatly reduced.

00:25:19.640 Spousal domestic gun murders in Canada.

00:25:21.860 Okay.

00:25:22.340 Thank you.

00:25:23.380 Uh, Tony in Tennessee.

00:25:24.440 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:28.460 Hey, thank you.

00:25:29.460 Yes, sir.

00:25:29.960 Uh, two points real quick.

00:25:31.340 Uh, one thing he's trying to figure out whether he, you know, committed suicide or, or whatever.

00:25:36.400 I'd like to know who, uh, if he registered is the room and his name, I think if he used

00:25:41.060 his own name, it would be an important thing that I haven't heard anyone say yet, but you

00:25:46.620 know, I think if he used his own name, he probably wasn't planning on escaping.

00:25:50.560 He was going to, you know, use it as Alamo and stand there last man.

00:25:54.160 But he used an alias.

00:25:55.560 I think he was going to try to escape.

00:25:57.980 And also there was a report of, uh, aviation fuel tanks being hit, but aviation fuel won't

00:26:03.680 blow up.

00:26:04.220 It's like jet fuel.

00:26:05.320 I mean, uh, diesel fuel.

00:26:06.760 It doesn't ignite.

00:26:08.160 They even did a thing on myth busters where they shot a propane tank with a regular round

00:26:12.460 and it won't go off.

00:26:13.280 There was no confirmation of that story though.

00:26:15.340 Yeah.

00:26:15.780 Yeah.

00:26:16.000 There's been a lot of, they appreciate the call.

00:26:17.900 Thanks, Tony.

00:26:18.400 Um, there's been a lot of reports that are just, uh, not true.

00:26:22.820 Um, a lot of what we're hearing from some of the survivors, from some of the people who

00:26:27.700 escaped any kind of injury was that they heard a second shooter.

00:26:31.760 They heard a second round coming from somewhere else because there was one loud, uh, burst

00:26:37.820 and then a more quiet burst kind of in the background.

00:26:41.660 Well, that was the echo of the shots.

00:26:44.020 That's, that's the sound of the shots echoing off buildings and things.

00:26:48.540 And it is almost a fact that whenever we have a shooting, there's always, always say there's

00:26:56.600 another, uh, another gunman in every single case I can think of.

00:27:00.400 There's a second gunman.

00:27:01.600 And then we find out later on when things calm down.

00:27:04.100 Now there was no second gunman.

00:27:05.940 Yeah.

00:27:06.100 Just, just one guy.

00:27:07.760 Uh, Elsie in California.

00:27:09.380 Hi.

00:27:12.760 Elsie, you there?

00:27:13.500 Hi.

00:27:13.920 Hi.

00:27:14.380 Oh yes, I'm here.

00:27:15.340 Okay.

00:27:15.620 Hi.

00:27:15.980 Pat.

00:27:16.380 Over, over the weekend, uh, someone tried to break into my home and it took me 10 seconds

00:27:23.180 to get, to get my gun.

00:27:25.080 And by the time I got it, he had the window open and the screen off.

00:27:29.300 And because I had my gun, I was able, able to, um, you know, confront him and yell at him

00:27:36.640 before he got in the house and he left.

00:27:39.800 If I did not have my gun, I would not have had that boldness to yell at him.

00:27:44.640 So that gun saved my life.

00:27:47.700 That gun saved his life.

00:27:49.940 So guns really do save lives without even firing a shot.

00:27:55.540 That's amazing.

00:27:56.500 That's, that's amazing.

00:27:57.760 That's great for you.

00:27:59.100 Yeah.

00:27:59.420 I mean, are you, were you alone in the house at the time?

00:28:02.980 Uh, yes, I was.

00:28:03.920 It was four o'clock in the morning and my dogs woke me up.

00:28:07.100 That's gotta be frightening.

00:28:08.700 And so I got up and went to the window and saw him taking off the screen.

00:28:15.220 Took me 10, less than 10 seconds to get my gun.

00:28:18.600 And he was already ready to come inside.

00:28:21.320 Amazing.

00:28:22.260 Wow.

00:28:23.140 But if I did not have that gun, who knows what could have happened to you?

00:28:27.760 I think I would have the boldness to yell at him.

00:28:29.140 Yeah.

00:28:29.320 And, and who knows what would have happened to you if you didn't have that gun, he comes

00:28:33.900 in and then who knows?

00:28:35.260 I mean, anything could have happened then.

00:28:38.240 Right.

00:28:38.820 So, so he just took off and, uh, you don't know who he is.

00:28:42.880 Well, it's over.

00:28:43.920 I did, I did, I did, uh, recognize him.

00:28:46.980 So I did call 9-1-1 and they did pick him up later on that same day.

00:28:51.120 You recognized him?

00:28:53.060 Yeah.

00:28:53.460 It's somebody you knew.

00:28:54.440 He was from our, yes, he was from our, from our neighborhood.

00:28:57.660 Oh, wow.

00:28:58.920 So people in our neighborhood knew him.

00:29:00.960 Wow.

00:29:01.900 Well, and he's fortunate too, that you just warned him and didn't start firing in Texas.

00:29:06.960 If that happens, you're probably dead.

00:29:08.900 Um, you're just going to get shot.

00:29:10.380 You're just going to, because if you come into somebody's, it's the, the castle rule is

00:29:16.080 that if somebody's invading your castle in the middle of the night, you have every right

00:29:20.160 just to shoot them.

00:29:21.240 You don't, you don't have to, you don't have to say anything to them.

00:29:23.760 You don't have to ask them to leave.

00:29:25.120 You just shoot them.

00:29:26.020 Yeah.

00:29:26.560 Yeah.

00:29:27.020 Yeah.

00:29:27.260 I think, you know, California, as you know, may be a little different.

00:29:30.920 I think it probably is.

00:29:32.780 Yeah.

00:29:33.100 I think it probably is.

00:29:34.080 I wanted to, I wanted to wait until he got inside the house before I saw him, but I wanted

00:29:41.000 to warn him to give him a chance to leave.

00:29:43.640 Yeah.

00:29:43.800 Good for you.

00:29:44.280 I didn't have to shoot him.

00:29:45.660 No one wants to shoot.

00:29:47.000 No.

00:29:47.360 So you were being a responsible gun owner.

00:29:50.240 It's amazing thing.

00:29:51.300 Yeah.

00:29:52.140 Wow.

00:29:52.480 Yes, I was.

00:29:53.960 Appreciate the call.

00:29:54.780 Glad, glad that worked out.

00:29:56.020 Wow.

00:29:56.040 No kidding.

00:29:56.700 That's a, it's a real blessing in that case to have a gun.

00:29:59.680 I mean, seriously, she could have been badly injured, hurt, raped.

00:30:04.000 I mean, a million different things could have happened.

00:30:06.320 And so could have the criminal.

00:30:07.560 Right.

00:30:07.860 Janet in Georgia, welcome.

00:30:10.740 Hi.

00:30:11.040 Yeah.

00:30:11.540 Yeah.

00:30:12.660 In Georgia, he'd be dead too.

00:30:14.480 Yeah.

00:30:17.780 Hi, Pat and Jeff.

00:30:20.120 I just, you know, aside from the conversation about Vegas, I wanted to address an issue that's

00:30:27.980 been on my mind for a long time.

00:30:29.580 And that is why and how does conservative media, talk radio, allow the liberal media to always,

00:30:45.360 every day, control the narrative?

00:30:47.680 I, well, I don't know that the conservative media does allow them.

00:30:53.400 It's, it seems to me to be the politicians because it seems like, I mean, we're doing

00:30:57.660 what we can to, to, uh, to defend gun rights, to, to defend common sense.

00:31:04.340 Um, but, which is exactly, exactly.

00:31:08.940 We are always on the defensive.

00:31:11.420 Always.

00:31:11.960 That's true.

00:31:12.640 It's true.

00:31:13.320 Yeah.

00:31:13.700 And, and it's the politicians who won't do anything about this to go on the offensive.

00:31:19.200 Um, and they're continually shouted down by the left in this country because they're told

00:31:26.040 that we don't want to have this conversation.

00:31:29.020 What do you, what do you mean?

00:31:29.700 We don't want to have this conversation.

00:31:30.640 We have this conversation every single time there's a shooting.

00:31:33.440 What are you talking about?

00:31:34.600 We don't have the conversation.

00:31:35.820 It's all we do is talk about this.

00:31:38.100 It's all we do.

00:31:39.420 And, and we tell you every time it's not about the gun.

00:31:43.260 It is about the people and you won't deal with the real issues here.

00:31:47.660 It's about the people.

00:31:49.860 Yeah.

00:31:50.420 And it's not just about gun rights on every social issue on, on, uh, the budget on Mexico

00:32:00.440 or all of these.

00:32:02.940 All of these conversations are directed by the liberal media and we need to be defending

00:32:10.480 ourselves when I think if we just ignore what they say and can start controlling the

00:32:16.760 narrative by say, by not, not even allowing the discussion to take place.

00:32:23.040 So today you go on air and you say, okay, this is what we're going to discuss and we're

00:32:26.820 going to ignore the nonsense.

00:32:29.300 Yeah.

00:32:29.920 Except if we did that, if we ignored their discussion, uh, they might build momentum and

00:32:36.860 finally get rid of guns as they plan to do for so long.

00:32:40.640 I don't know.

00:32:41.400 I don't know if that's the way to go.

00:32:42.520 I just appreciate the call, Janet.

00:32:44.660 I just know that you're right in that we're always on the defensive and Republicans in

00:32:50.280 office, conservatives in office can't seem to defend themselves and their points of view

00:32:53.960 at all.

00:32:55.720 Triple eight, seven, two, seven Beck.

00:32:58.100 It's a Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:33:03.980 Glenn Beck.

00:33:04.520 Glenn Beck.

00:33:10.480 Glenn Beck.

00:33:12.560 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:33:14.740 He's back on Monday.

00:33:16.840 Triple eight, seven, two, seven Beck.

00:33:19.320 Kind of an interesting press conference with Cam Newton the other day.

00:33:23.640 Cam Newton, the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers.

00:33:26.500 We just take ourselves so incredibly seriously now.

00:33:30.400 We sure do.

00:33:31.100 Yeah.

00:33:31.420 We can't let anything go.

00:33:32.680 We can't, we just can't let anything go.

00:33:35.200 And I'm not a huge Cam Newton fan.

00:33:38.520 But is this legitimate?

00:33:41.700 Feminists are all upset over this because a female reporter asked Cam a question.

00:33:47.120 Here's what happened.

00:33:47.800 I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well.

00:33:51.280 Devin Funchess has seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes and making, getting

00:33:57.380 those extra yards.

00:33:58.580 Does that give you a little bit of an enjoyment to see him kind of trusting people out there?

00:34:02.260 It's funny to hear a female talk about routes.

00:34:08.100 It's funny.

00:34:09.340 Listen to the dead silence in the room.

00:34:12.180 No other reporter laughs.

00:34:14.460 Nobody does anything except sit there in shock and horror.

00:34:18.720 Did he say it was funny to hear a woman talk about wide receiver routes?

00:34:23.480 Oh, no.

00:34:25.160 But fun is coming along, man.

00:34:27.120 We're going to.

00:34:27.960 And then he realizes his mistake and just goes on with it.

00:34:32.400 It's really that big a deal.

00:34:34.260 Come on.

00:34:34.840 Feminists are all pissed off.

00:34:35.720 They're all upset about it.

00:34:36.940 Oh, God.

00:34:37.460 How dare he say it was funny to hear a woman talk about it.

00:34:41.160 I mean, is it sexist?

00:34:44.100 Is it true that more men than women actually pay attention to football?

00:34:50.500 I would say yes.

00:34:51.280 I'd say yes to that.

00:34:52.220 I would say that's probably very true.

00:34:56.660 That doesn't mean that all women don't know anything about football.

00:35:00.700 But, boy, anytime something like this happens, it's the worst.

00:35:04.260 He's the worst person in the world.

00:35:05.520 I would have to say, you know, Cam probably doesn't go to her house and talk about cleaning.

00:35:09.580 Oh, man.

00:35:11.220 I'm at that.

00:35:11.820 Nice.

00:35:14.560 Glenn Beck.

00:35:22.340 Love.

00:35:23.900 Courage.

00:35:25.260 Truth.

00:35:26.600 Glenn Beck.

00:35:27.420 Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:35:29.500 Jeffy's here.

00:35:30.680 As well, 888-727-BECK.

00:35:33.600 888-727-BECK.

00:35:35.760 And, by the way, you can catch my show immediately following this one on the Blaze radio and television network.

00:35:42.240 Monday through Friday, noon Eastern, 11 Central.

00:35:46.060 888-727-BECK.

00:35:49.740 We just lost three special forces fighters, some Green Beret, in Nigeria in an ambush.

00:35:57.780 They were, three were killed, two were wounded in an ambush in Nigeria while on a training mission with troops from that nation in northwestern Africa.

00:36:10.540 And, you might be thinking, as I am, what are we doing in Nigeria?

00:36:16.480 What?

00:36:17.620 We've got four special forces in Nigeria?

00:36:21.040 Yeah.

00:36:21.800 Is there any country where we haven't deployed U.S. military forces?

00:36:28.860 Is there anything?

00:36:29.600 Is there any place we don't belong?

00:36:31.140 Is there any place that maybe we shouldn't be?

00:36:35.800 Maybe we could...

00:36:38.680 I don't...

00:36:40.280 Wow.

00:36:40.740 I mean, we are just intervening everywhere.

00:36:44.420 Now, I know they have serious problems with Al-Qaeda and Islamic Maghreb.

00:36:50.640 It's an affiliate of Al-Qaeda.

00:36:52.800 Boko Haram is in that neck of the woods?

00:36:54.560 Yes.

00:36:55.240 I mean...

00:36:55.720 Yes.

00:36:56.120 But, is this really what we want to do?

00:37:00.760 Do we want special forces?

00:37:02.560 Do we want military personnel in every country on Earth?

00:37:05.480 I don't think so.

00:37:07.080 I don't, anyway.

00:37:09.040 Is that what we should be doing?

00:37:11.640 Maybe we should revisit this.

00:37:15.060 When did Congress agree to send troops to Nigeria?

00:37:19.740 Maybe they have, and I missed it.

00:37:21.620 I don't know.

00:37:22.020 This was a...

00:37:22.660 They sent them...

00:37:23.660 This was a training mission, right?

00:37:25.240 They're helping the government train to combat terrorism.

00:37:29.820 Yes.

00:37:30.340 But, they're troops.

00:37:31.680 They're American troops on a foreign soil.

00:37:35.440 And, usually, when you're going into battle conditions like this,

00:37:38.680 and, obviously, there are battles going on,

00:37:42.560 usually, that requires some kind of okay from the American people

00:37:47.340 or their representatives.

00:37:50.080 I don't remember doing that.

00:37:51.700 So, I just...

00:37:55.160 It just kind of leads to the question,

00:37:56.760 is there any place we're not?

00:37:58.640 Should we be everywhere?

00:38:00.300 We're like chicken men now.

00:38:01.560 We're everywhere.

00:38:02.300 We're everywhere.

00:38:03.680 Triple 8, 727 back.

00:38:05.720 Also, Nancy Pelosi was confronted

00:38:07.560 by a concerned citizen yesterday on CNN

00:38:11.080 about guns and gun ownership.

00:38:14.160 Powerful is the word you're looking for?

00:38:18.760 Powerful, yes.

00:38:20.220 Powerful?

00:38:20.740 She gave just a powerful response.

00:38:22.180 Okay, that's what I thought.

00:38:22.860 See what you think of this response.

00:38:24.140 How does rendering me defenseless,

00:38:26.500 me meaning a law-abiding citizen,

00:38:29.060 by taking away my ability to defend myself

00:38:32.280 in the manner in which I believe I should be able to choose to,

00:38:35.940 where I want to,

00:38:37.560 how does rendering me defenseless

00:38:39.280 protect anybody else from a violent crime?

00:38:42.040 Well, let me be a consolation to you.

00:38:44.640 No one is advocating that.

00:38:47.060 We're not talking about taking guns away from people.

00:38:49.560 What we're talking about is to make sure

00:38:51.960 that people who have guns register

00:38:54.420 and that there are background checks on that.

00:38:57.680 There are background checks.

00:38:59.280 I went through one when I bought my AR-15

00:39:01.160 and when I bought a handgun.

00:39:03.540 I went through background...

00:39:04.340 We have background checks.

00:39:05.960 They act like there's never been a background check on anybody.

00:39:08.640 I'm pretty sure.

00:39:09.560 Almost everyone has gone through a background check.

00:39:11.960 Check to buy a gun.

00:39:12.820 Sure.

00:39:13.680 And they always say this.

00:39:15.360 All we want are background checks.

00:39:16.720 Well, we have that.

00:39:18.160 Prevent other people from being in harm's way.

00:39:21.780 But no one is questioning your right

00:39:25.060 to have a gun or to eliminate your safety.

00:39:28.460 Okay, that's just not true.

00:39:30.080 That's just a lie.

00:39:31.580 That's not what she said.

00:39:32.480 A lot of people are advocating

00:39:33.740 that we take guns away from people.

00:39:36.400 Yes, they are.

00:39:36.880 A lot of people are advocating that we ban guns.

00:39:40.220 And the right shall not be infringed.

00:39:43.400 The right of the people to keep and bear arms

00:39:45.480 shall not be infringed.

00:39:46.840 Second Amendment wording, not mine.

00:39:48.780 So you keep bringing this up

00:39:51.160 and you keep avoiding discussing

00:39:53.840 the right not being infringed

00:39:56.020 by saying it's common sense.

00:39:58.620 Well, no, it isn't.

00:39:59.700 No, it isn't common sense.

00:40:01.280 Okay?

00:40:02.300 It's unconstitutional

00:40:03.540 what you're talking about doing.

00:40:04.780 While they're infringing?

00:40:06.260 While they're infringing.

00:40:07.680 They're talking about...

00:40:08.740 I'm not talking about the Second Amendment.

00:40:10.900 I'm just talking about common sense.

00:40:12.600 Common sense.

00:40:13.560 Nobody's talking about the Second Amendment.

00:40:14.680 Nobody's talking about the Second Amendment.

00:40:17.520 Don't be stupid.

00:40:18.220 They know they have to say that.

00:40:20.020 Because if you were to poll the American people,

00:40:23.280 you know, it'd be easily 80, 85% of Americans

00:40:26.820 would want the Constitution upheld.

00:40:29.320 Yes.

00:40:29.740 I hope it's that high still.

00:40:33.020 Don't take that poll.

00:40:34.120 Don't take that poll.

00:40:34.880 Don't take that poll.

00:40:35.680 Maybe we don't want anybody to take that poll.

00:40:38.860 But the American people still believe

00:40:41.520 in the United States Constitution.

00:40:43.820 And that's why they always say,

00:40:46.460 oh, I'm not talking about the Second Amendment.

00:40:50.380 I never touched the Second Amendment.

00:40:52.900 That's the Constitution.

00:40:54.380 No, I'm just talking about common sense gun law.

00:40:56.840 Okay, well, yeah, your common sense gun law,

00:41:00.520 it's unconstitutional.

00:41:02.380 So stop talking about it.

00:41:05.820 But she's not talking about it.

00:41:07.260 She's not talking about that.

00:41:08.620 No.

00:41:08.720 She's talking about just background checks.

00:41:09.460 She's just talking about background checks.

00:41:11.120 That's all.

00:41:11.440 Which we already have.

00:41:12.540 Yeah, but she's talking about...

00:41:13.120 We're talking about background checks.

00:41:14.520 Background checks.

00:41:15.200 That's right.

00:41:16.640 Background checks.

00:41:17.600 And what was her other point?

00:41:19.200 I've completely forgotten that one.

00:41:20.560 The other one.

00:41:21.020 At all.

00:41:21.740 Not at all.

00:41:22.640 So hopefully that clarification,

00:41:24.960 because that is part of the argument

00:41:27.220 the other side used.

00:41:28.080 Well, you're going to take away my...

00:41:29.240 Nobody's taking away anybody's gun.

00:41:30.940 All we're saying is

00:41:31.960 you should have a background check.

00:41:34.040 And people...

00:41:34.500 We have that.

00:41:34.940 Responsible gun owners

00:41:35.940 from the hills of Arizona

00:41:37.320 to the duck lines of Minnesota

00:41:40.060 or all over

00:41:40.660 say we're all law-abiding.

00:41:43.880 We have many guns.

00:41:44.900 We have as many guns as he has.

00:41:46.500 Right.

00:41:47.020 But we have...

00:41:48.500 Yes, hello?

00:41:52.480 Background checks.

00:41:53.180 But we have background checks.

00:42:01.980 Seriously, something's wrong with her.

00:42:03.080 Something is definitely wrong.

00:42:04.540 Say it again.

00:42:05.120 Something's wrong with Nancy Pelosi.

00:42:06.400 Yes.

00:42:07.900 I'm not sure what it is,

00:42:09.120 but there is an issue.

00:42:10.360 Yeah, I think there's an issue.

00:42:11.580 And I mean,

00:42:12.420 she's quoting the great line

00:42:14.140 from the song

00:42:14.840 from the hills of Arizona

00:42:16.620 to the duck blinds of Minnesota

00:42:19.320 to the duck blinds of Minnesota.

00:42:21.820 I was just humming that.

00:42:23.000 Not yesterday.

00:42:26.980 From the...

00:42:27.900 It's a...

00:42:30.700 That's a...

00:42:31.500 What's the name of that song?

00:42:33.460 It's a...

00:42:34.440 Oh, Beautiful, right?

00:42:35.640 No, it's...

00:42:36.380 Yeah, it's a patriotic song

00:42:38.100 by the country singer.

00:42:40.640 You don't know.

00:42:41.160 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:41.920 No, no, no.

00:42:42.440 Yes.

00:42:43.020 Yes, I do.

00:42:43.760 Yes, I do.

00:42:44.860 What's his face?

00:42:45.480 Who performed at...

00:42:46.480 You don't know what's his...

00:42:47.380 Yes.

00:42:48.300 He performed at a rally for America.

00:42:50.980 Lee Greenwood, right?

00:42:51.000 Lee Greenwood.

00:42:51.960 Yes, Lee Greenwood.

00:42:53.000 I've tried to put Lee Greenwood

00:42:55.420 out of my mind.

00:42:56.580 Well, ever since that rally for America

00:42:59.020 where Lee Greenwood

00:43:00.000 wouldn't stop playing...

00:43:02.280 In fact,

00:43:03.220 I think it was 2003

00:43:04.420 that the concert took place.

00:43:06.240 He just wrapped it up 15 minutes ago.

00:43:08.900 I saw Lee...

00:43:10.420 It would not stop!

00:43:11.280 It was like hours!

00:43:11.620 I saw Lee Greenwood in a powerful performance...

00:43:14.880 Did you?

00:43:15.580 ...in Tampa, Florida.

00:43:17.300 The music sound system was down.

00:43:20.260 Mm-hmm.

00:43:20.580 Okay?

00:43:21.160 Yeah.

00:43:21.340 And so all he had was just a one-stand microphone

00:43:25.540 that was working, and he performed.

00:43:27.880 You can't stop him from performing.

00:43:29.640 And he performed.

00:43:30.200 You cannot stop Lee Greenwood.

00:43:32.640 He's like the Energizer Bunny.

00:43:34.500 He just keeps going.

00:43:37.620 Tom in Nevada.

00:43:39.120 Hi.

00:43:39.580 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:42.220 Hello.

00:43:42.800 Hey.

00:43:43.080 How are you guys?

00:43:43.580 Doing good.

00:43:45.320 Good.

00:43:45.700 Hey, I'm just calling.

00:43:47.160 I was listening to the show here a little bit earlier,

00:43:49.380 and you guys were reporting some information

00:43:51.020 on the amount of guns that were found at the hotel room,

00:43:53.240 and it was only 23 and not 42.

00:43:56.260 I know it's trivial, but your numbers are a little bit skewed.

00:43:59.840 Oh, I don't think we said there were 42 in the hotel room.

00:44:04.540 There were 42 between his home and the hotel room.

00:44:09.620 Yeah, and his home is 90 miles away.

00:44:11.960 I mean, just the way it sounds when you guys report it,

00:44:15.260 you found 42 guns.

00:44:16.940 It makes it all sound like there's 42 at the site,

00:44:19.740 and there wasn't.

00:44:21.020 Well, there were enough to kill 58 people,

00:44:24.380 whatever the number was.

00:44:25.440 But, again, like you said, kind of trivial,

00:44:30.320 because the number 42 hasn't come out of my mouth today.

00:44:34.600 So I don't know where you're hearing that.

00:44:36.560 Did it come out of yours, Jeffy?

00:44:37.660 Are you saying 42 guns?

00:44:39.680 Because don't.

00:44:41.720 Don't.

00:44:42.480 If you're doing it, stop.

00:44:44.260 Thanks, Tom.

00:44:45.740 That's a good clarification.

00:44:47.960 Ted in Ohio, you're on the Blaze.

00:44:50.100 Hi.

00:44:51.280 Hey, how's it going, guys?

00:44:52.760 Hey, how you doing?

00:44:54.820 Good, good.

00:44:55.640 Hey, I'm an Army veteran and a gun owner and a hunter.

00:44:58.380 And I just, what is the argument for banning,

00:45:02.560 against banning assault rifles?

00:45:04.440 You can do everything.

00:45:05.440 You can defend yourself.

00:45:06.360 You can hunt with shotguns and pistols.

00:45:08.580 And there's no doubt that if assault rifles weren't available,

00:45:12.740 the nightclub and this concert,

00:45:16.000 there wouldn't have been as many fatalities.

00:45:17.720 There's just no doubt about it.

00:45:18.940 Well, let's investigate what the difference is

00:45:21.940 between a hunting rifle and an assault rifle.

00:45:26.060 They're the same thing.

00:45:27.460 I mean, one of them looks mean,

00:45:29.140 and the other has maybe a wooden stock to it,

00:45:31.660 and the other has kind of a metallic one.

00:45:33.760 One of them's black, though.

00:45:34.520 They do the same thing.

00:45:36.180 First of all, the Second Amendment, Ted,

00:45:38.220 isn't about hunting.

00:45:39.320 It's not about hunting.

00:45:41.200 So this has nothing to do with hunting

00:45:43.360 or very little to do with hunting.

00:45:45.440 The point is we are armed for a different reason than hunting.

00:45:52.940 Do you understand that?

00:45:54.740 Yeah, but this argument is silly.

00:45:57.600 There's no doubt that an AR-15 was designed to kill

00:45:59.920 lots and lots of people very quickly.

00:46:02.300 And my semi-automatic...

00:46:03.600 All guns are designed to kill.

00:46:05.300 All guns are designed to kill.

00:46:08.040 And they're designed to kill quickly.

00:46:10.600 You just pull the trigger and they kill.

00:46:13.580 You know, every gun is designed that way.

00:46:16.600 It doesn't kill you more dead than, say, a hunting rifle.

00:46:22.240 I mean, I just...

00:46:23.940 I don't understand that line of thinking at all.

00:46:27.820 Because, again, there's no but about this.

00:46:30.320 It's not about hunting.

00:46:32.220 It's about protecting ourselves from an oppressive government.

00:46:35.900 That's what the Second Amendment is for.

00:46:36.780 Do we have that now?

00:46:37.980 No.

00:46:38.780 But could we?

00:46:39.620 Yes.

00:46:40.160 Possibly.

00:46:41.080 It could happen.

00:46:42.880 And that's what the Second Amendment is for.

00:46:46.220 Why can't we have grenade launchers?

00:46:48.620 Well, I mean, if you want to get ridiculous, you can.

00:46:51.680 But the Supreme Court has ruled that grenade launchers

00:46:55.640 and those types of things aren't covered under the Second Amendment.

00:46:59.180 So that's why.

00:47:00.600 I mean, if we can use a little, I don't know, common sense,

00:47:05.060 you can decipher the fact that you can have guns,

00:47:08.520 but you can't have nuclear weapons.

00:47:10.960 Right.

00:47:11.440 You have an AR-15, correct?

00:47:13.080 Yes, I do.

00:47:14.560 Is there any doubt in your mind that is designed,

00:47:16.940 the way the recoil operates, the magazine, the cartridge,

00:47:20.740 that that is designed for nothing but killing people?

00:47:23.360 Well, what gun isn't designed for killing people?

00:47:26.620 What gun?

00:47:27.260 Well, I'll tell you what.

00:47:27.780 They're not potted plants.

00:47:30.980 I mean, what is it going to do?

00:47:32.260 Is it a cleaning utensil?

00:47:33.560 They're all for killing.

00:47:36.620 Right?

00:47:37.100 I mean, that argument, that, listen, that argument is not saving lives.

00:47:41.940 That argument is antiquated.

00:47:43.040 Your argument's not saving lives either.

00:47:45.620 Your argument, the gun is not the problem here.

00:47:48.580 The people are the problem.

00:47:51.000 The people are the problem.

00:47:54.300 They keep happening.

00:47:55.660 We keep having the same argument.

00:47:56.300 It's not working.

00:47:56.940 We haven't had that argument yet.

00:47:58.340 We haven't had that discussion.

00:47:59.700 All we talk about are the guns.

00:48:01.520 We're not talking about people.

00:48:02.780 We're not talking about mental illness.

00:48:04.180 We're not talking about heading off people like this guy.

00:48:10.440 We're not talking about warning signs.

00:48:12.700 We're not talking about any of these things.

00:48:14.540 We're not talking about desensitizing people to human life.

00:48:18.480 We're not talking about the abortion mill that kills 53 million people since 1973

00:48:24.760 and has desensitized us to human life.

00:48:28.020 We're not talking about any of those things.

00:48:29.900 It's always about the gun because they're designed for killing.

00:48:33.620 Well, of course they're designed for killing.

00:48:36.060 What are they supposed to do?

00:48:37.800 You're going to use it as a doorstop?

00:48:39.840 No.

00:48:40.540 I mean, that's silly.

00:48:41.680 It's just nonsense.

00:48:43.120 Let me say one more thing.

00:48:43.840 Let me say one more thing.

00:48:45.020 Tell me if I'm wrong.

00:48:46.340 If you could only buy a .308 bolt action and not an AR-15,

00:48:52.840 would there be as many people dead in Las Vegas and at the Pulse nightclub?

00:48:56.360 Well, most of those people were killed by handguns anyway.

00:49:01.640 In mass shootings, most people are killed by handguns.

00:49:04.820 So why aren't you going after the handgun, too?

00:49:07.520 Because that's killing more people than a rifle.

00:49:09.880 Rifles are involved in about 5% of the murders in this country or less.

00:49:15.120 Didn't Las Vegas make it perfectly clear?

00:49:18.260 Those were like 400 or 500-yard shots he dumped.

00:49:20.660 Well, yeah.

00:49:21.160 I mean, in this particular case, it was obviously high-powered rifles.

00:49:25.120 Yes.

00:49:25.840 In this particular case.

00:49:27.620 And if he only had a bolt action, not as many people would be dead.

00:49:30.580 I'm sorry.

00:49:31.100 Right.

00:49:31.520 And if he fell asleep instead of staying awake, no one would have gotten shot.

00:49:35.940 And if we didn't have cars, he wouldn't have gotten there in time.

00:49:38.620 So, I mean, you know, it's kind of a silly – it's a silly argument.

00:49:42.360 We have these things.

00:49:44.640 So –

00:49:45.240 The only person that's actually coming close to that argument is really, when you think about it,

00:49:48.780 the sheriff who's saying, come on, it's hard for him to realize that this person would have acted alone.

00:49:55.660 And by getting that information, he's going to be able to look and see what they missed

00:50:00.920 and hopefully catch the next person that's starting to go down the mass murderer road.

00:50:06.760 Right?

00:50:06.960 I mean, that's what we're hoping for.

00:50:08.180 Mm-hmm.

00:50:08.480 That's why we need that information.

00:50:10.100 Yeah.

00:50:11.740 It's amazing to me.

00:50:14.080 I mean, again, it's guns.

00:50:16.200 It's bolt action.

00:50:17.180 If we went back to muskets, probably less people would be killed, too.

00:50:20.800 Well, yeah.

00:50:21.320 I mean –

00:50:21.560 And we went back to swords.

00:50:23.000 Even less people would be killed.

00:50:24.180 Unless there was 42 of them.

00:50:26.020 888-727-BECK.

00:50:31.460 Glenn Beck.

00:50:32.520 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:50:45.940 He'll be back on Monday.

00:50:47.500 888-727-BECK.

00:50:48.780 And then you can hear my show immediately following this on the Blaze Radio and Television Network.

00:50:52.660 Our last caller with, you know, if he had a bolt action, would there be less people dead?

00:50:57.460 Yeah, but if we got to this guy before he snapped, there'd be nobody dead.

00:51:01.520 And if there was a bolt action, why not go back to muskets?

00:51:06.540 And if you go back to muskets, why not go back to swords?

00:51:09.480 You know, when we were killing each other with rocks and sticks, you couldn't kill as many people.

00:51:14.560 Let's go back to rocks and sticks.

00:51:16.220 Good times.

00:51:17.180 Those were good times.

00:51:18.600 Were they?

00:51:19.440 Before fire?

00:51:20.940 Yeah.

00:51:21.280 When you couldn't even get burned?

00:51:22.600 Your house couldn't burn down.

00:51:24.180 Of course, you didn't have a house.

00:51:25.540 But, you know, your cave couldn't burn down.

00:51:28.540 You were lucky to have a cave.

00:51:29.640 I mean, how ridiculous do you want to get with this?

00:51:34.680 And the rocket launcher thing is always, well, I guess you should you be able to have a rocket launcher?

00:51:40.220 Should you have a bazooka?

00:51:41.720 Should you have a tank?

00:51:43.200 A libertarian answer would be yes, right?

00:51:45.320 I mean, the free market system would tell you yes.

00:51:50.260 But the Supreme Court actually ruled on that and came up with like a common sense line of delineation.

00:51:57.300 You don't want Bill next door with a nuke.

00:51:59.020 No, you don't.

00:51:59.840 You don't.

00:52:00.380 But, I mean, so what if he did?

00:52:04.500 It might be bad if he did.

00:52:06.760 So what if he did?

00:52:07.540 It might be very bad.

00:52:08.700 Just become friends with Bill and you're fine.

00:52:12.660 Yeah.

00:52:14.460 You know, I'm a little nervous about North Korea having nukes.

00:52:17.600 And that's a sovereign nation.

00:52:18.880 It's not Bill.

00:52:19.600 Yeah.

00:52:19.920 The next door neighbor Bill.

00:52:20.620 Let alone Bill.

00:52:21.280 Triple eight, seven, two, seven back.

00:52:24.840 Let's go to Dorinda in New York.

00:52:26.680 Hey, Dorinda, you're on the, you're on with back rate.

00:52:29.800 Hi.

00:52:30.360 Hi.

00:52:30.980 My thing, I'm all for the second amendment.

00:52:33.740 Unfortunately, due to blindness, I can no longer own a weapon because apparently they don't think I can aim at sound.

00:52:41.880 But it's kind of scary being alone by myself 14 hours a day.

00:52:46.840 No kidding.

00:52:47.440 Oh, yeah.

00:52:48.280 You can't even get a shotgun?

00:52:51.480 No.

00:52:52.000 No.

00:52:52.280 No.

00:52:52.340 Because I'm legally blind.

00:52:53.580 I can't have anything anymore.

00:52:56.860 Yeah.

00:52:57.580 Wow.

00:52:58.320 I think in some states you can.

00:53:00.500 I would say that.

00:53:01.240 I know.

00:53:02.120 Because in some states you can, but New York State you can't.

00:53:04.400 Yeah.

00:53:04.600 Okay.

00:53:05.020 Yeah.

00:53:05.240 That doesn't surprise me.

00:53:06.700 Yeah.

00:53:06.960 So.

00:53:07.240 Yeah.

00:53:07.480 So.

00:53:07.860 I mean, the only deterrent I have is a well-trained German shepherd.

00:53:12.660 Okay.

00:53:13.300 That helps.

00:53:14.040 That does help.

00:53:14.800 And, you know, hopefully you have a security system.

00:53:17.820 Yeah.

00:53:18.760 Yeah.

00:53:19.580 Good.

00:53:19.880 But I, if there's somebody determined enough to break into my house, even after hearing

00:53:24.740 my big girl barking, who's to say that I can't protect her from this person anymore?

00:53:30.640 Right.

00:53:31.600 Yeah.

00:53:32.140 I mean, so you're completely dependent on law enforcement, getting there in time if anything

00:53:37.820 happens.

00:53:39.040 Yeah.

00:53:39.420 And unfortunately, where I live, law enforcement is about five towns over.

00:53:43.580 Wow.

00:53:44.800 Yeah.

00:53:45.580 Yeah.

00:53:45.880 Um, I, yeah, that's, it's difficult.

00:53:49.600 Although the left would say you shouldn't have a weapon of any kind because you're blind.

00:53:57.040 Right?

00:53:57.520 Exactly.

00:53:57.960 And that's, and that's, that's why they've banned that in New York because the left is

00:54:01.540 in control in New York.

00:54:03.600 Yeah.

00:54:03.880 Oh yeah.

00:54:04.440 Definitely.

00:54:05.140 Unfortunately.

00:54:06.020 Yeah.

00:54:06.440 Yeah.

00:54:06.560 Those hillbilly hicks up here, you know.

00:54:09.120 Appreciate the call.

00:54:09.880 I hope you never have to, I hope you never have to count on the law enforcement five,

00:54:13.880 five cities away.

00:54:15.680 No kidding.

00:54:17.200 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K.

00:54:20.980 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:54:23.000 Who's back on Monday.

00:54:24.020 Glenn back.

00:54:38.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:54:52.360 Pat Gray for Glenn.

00:54:53.660 Uh, Jeffy's here as well.

00:54:55.300 Triple eight, seven, two, seven back.

00:54:56.560 Uh, this, you know, it was inevitable as soon as the shooting happened, uh, that you won't

00:55:04.420 even get people healed up in the hospital.

00:55:06.080 You won't even get the victims transported anywhere before the, uh, screams of gun control

00:55:14.320 begin.

00:55:14.780 And then as they're screaming about gun control, they'll say, they'll say that we never have

00:55:20.920 the discussion and we're afraid to have the conversation.

00:55:24.520 What are you talking about?

00:55:25.760 That's the only conversation we ever have.

00:55:28.280 They say that it's not time to get political, uh, after a shooting like this is exactly the

00:55:32.980 time to get political.

00:55:34.400 Unless if you're us, how many times have we heard that?

00:55:37.380 Good heavens.

00:55:38.760 Over and over and over.

00:55:40.380 That's their thing now.

00:55:41.440 Sure is.

00:55:41.900 Uh, and the late night comedians, rather than doing comedy, which they're not that good

00:55:46.180 at anyway, are, are just involved in, in gun control nonsense.

00:55:51.540 And then we're, we're being lectured by these foreign, uh, talk show hosts like James

00:55:57.220 Carden.

00:55:57.860 James Gordon.

00:55:58.360 Yeah.

00:55:58.780 Oh, that's agonizing.

00:56:01.680 I like James.

00:56:02.900 I like him too, but I don't like this.

00:56:06.140 Last night was the biggest mass shooting in United States history.

00:56:09.600 I can't even say United States.

00:56:14.480 That's a record that's been set twice in just the two and a half years that I've been living

00:56:18.900 in America.

00:56:19.880 Okay.

00:56:20.340 Maybe should, here's another statistic.

00:56:22.160 Be quiet.

00:56:22.500 11,660 people have died from gun violence in the last 275 days in this country.

00:56:29.720 Okay.

00:56:30.300 Yeah.

00:56:30.440 That includes suicides.

00:56:32.360 That includes murders in Chicago and Baltimore and every city across the country.

00:56:39.020 That includes everything.

00:56:40.960 And they make it, they lump it all in with this kind of shooting and, and it's just so

00:56:45.200 disingenuous.

00:56:47.220 Now I come from, from a place where we don't have shootings at this frequency.

00:56:51.780 So it's hard for me to fathom.

00:56:54.320 Is it?

00:56:54.800 Is it James?

00:56:55.940 We went through this on, uh, on my show the other day on, uh, Pat Gray unleashed on the

00:57:00.900 blaze, uh, radio and television network, which you can hear immediately following the show.

00:57:05.500 Um, the, the disingenuous nonsense that comes out of great Britain is pretty amazing because

00:57:14.000 in 1996 they banned guns and afterward the gun violent rate tripled.

00:57:22.800 It didn't just go up.

00:57:24.760 It tripled.

00:57:25.880 No, you must be reading that wrong.

00:57:27.200 No, I'm not reading it wrong.

00:57:28.900 And I've read it a lot of times and it's the same every time it tripled until about 2003 when

00:57:35.800 it peaked and then it went back to the levels, it kind of evened out a little bit and now

00:57:41.160 it's at the same level as it was before the gun ban.

00:57:45.820 So don't come to me and tell me that your gun ban has worked like a charm and you don't

00:57:52.420 have any violence anymore because you have the same amount you had before the gun ban.

00:57:57.800 How is that possible?

00:57:59.500 I don't know.

00:58:00.120 Maybe people who disobey the murder laws also disobey the gun laws.

00:58:04.640 Is that possible?

00:58:05.580 What?

00:58:06.460 I mean, it just kind of stands to reason, doesn't it?

00:58:09.680 And I can't stand being lectured by these foreigners.

00:58:13.500 Australians will do the same thing and they had the exact situation.

00:58:17.960 Great Britain did.

00:58:19.520 They have the same rate as well.

00:58:21.280 And it went up immediately.

00:58:23.400 Why?

00:58:24.060 Because the bad guys don't care about your bat, your gun ban.

00:58:27.020 That's why.

00:58:28.500 Huh?

00:58:30.120 It just, it stands to reason, right?

00:58:32.940 And James, you know, I do like a lot of your stuff, but you came over here two and a half

00:58:38.740 years ago to live here in the United States so that you could make your fortune.

00:58:42.640 Which he's doing.

00:58:43.620 Yeah.

00:58:43.920 And so how about zip it?

00:58:46.200 Why don't you pick up Katy Perry at a street corner and sing with her for a few blocks?

00:58:50.580 And he has.

00:58:51.140 And why don't you do that?

00:58:52.460 Yeah.

00:58:52.820 And just stick to that.

00:58:56.300 Leave the lectures to American citizens.

00:58:58.500 Please.

00:59:00.240 Somebody else.

00:59:01.160 Please.

00:59:01.880 Chris in Tennessee.

00:59:03.620 Hi.

00:59:04.120 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:59:05.400 How you doing, guys?

00:59:06.300 Doing good.

00:59:07.520 I just wanted to say, just saying that it's real odd to me now that everybody keeps on

00:59:12.320 the left, he's talking about background checks.

00:59:14.640 And that's the same thing that President Trump wanted with his extreme vetting, but they only

00:59:18.680 want extreme vetting on a U.S. citizen.

00:59:20.560 Yes, isn't that the truth?

00:59:22.200 That's a great point.

00:59:23.320 That is a tremendous point.

00:59:24.880 That's a great point.

00:59:25.780 Yeah, they were screaming up and down about the extreme vetting.

00:59:28.640 That was so insensitive.

00:59:30.740 And it was profiling and all of those things.

00:59:33.840 You're right.

00:59:34.540 I appreciate the call.

00:59:36.720 Thanks, Chris.

00:59:37.780 Kathy in Missouri.

00:59:39.460 Hi.

00:59:39.720 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:59:42.720 Hi there.

00:59:43.480 I just want to point out two things about this whole Facebook posting of how Australia is

00:59:51.380 such a fine example of stronger rules, less gun crime.

00:59:57.660 If you dig down deep into those reports that everyone's sharing, it states in there that

01:00:03.000 the gun crime had already been reducing prior to these regulations being put in place.

01:00:09.620 So everyone is just assuming causation when it's simple correlation.

01:00:16.140 And one other thing that they're not looking at is that Australia spends almost twice

01:00:21.280 as much as America does, well, the United States does, on mental health care.

01:00:28.200 We spend about $119 per capita, and they spend about $220.

01:00:33.960 Wow.

01:00:34.820 That is interesting.

01:00:36.660 Yeah, maybe that's helping.

01:00:38.380 Definitely.

01:00:39.560 Could be.

01:00:40.120 I think it needs to be looked at because any weapon is inert until there's a reason that

01:00:45.040 you use it.

01:00:45.780 Yes, exactly right.

01:00:47.400 Thanks for the call.

01:00:48.040 If we looked at the people, and we looked at mental illness, and we treated it a little

01:00:53.980 bit differently, took it a little more seriously, I think you'd find, because most of these are

01:01:00.520 done by mentally ill people.

01:01:05.100 Some of them are just done by thrill seekers.

01:01:07.560 Of course, some of them are done by evil people.

01:01:11.880 But for the most part, I think it's people who are just out of their minds.

01:01:17.500 Bradley in Louisiana.

01:01:19.140 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:01:20.160 Hi.

01:01:21.880 Hey, guys.

01:01:22.600 How are you?

01:01:23.080 Doing good.

01:01:24.980 Look, listen, I heard a couple callers ago.

01:01:27.860 You guys compared it to abortion, and it just got me thinking, other than abortion in America,

01:01:33.860 what is the major genocide event that has occurred perpetuated by the American government?

01:01:41.860 Other than abortion?

01:01:43.220 Other than abortion.

01:01:45.200 I don't know.

01:01:46.880 I don't know.

01:01:47.300 The only thing that I can think, and I can understand how people want to say slavery,

01:01:52.040 but that does not constitute, the murder and death that took place during slavery does not

01:01:56.640 constitute genocide.

01:01:58.060 Right.

01:01:58.320 The only thing that's there is the American Indian.

01:02:01.060 And the American Indian was outgunned.

01:02:04.760 And the Second Amendment exists so that we as a people have equal opportunity to defend

01:02:11.380 ourselves against a tyrannical government.

01:02:13.060 All over the world, you have governments that make it impossible, illegal, or difficult

01:02:19.500 for its citizenship to defend itself.

01:02:23.160 If we don't have assault weapons, and the military does, we're going to be using sticks

01:02:28.240 and stones 50 years down the road, 100 years down the road, whenever that might be.

01:02:33.400 So I think the left is really confused here, especially if they think the government is run

01:02:38.900 by white, racist people that hate them.

01:02:40.960 The last thing you would think they want to do is let go of the one thing they can defend

01:02:45.560 themselves with.

01:02:46.660 Right.

01:02:46.900 Well, but then the argument, Bradley, is, well, the government is too powerful and just having

01:02:53.240 an AR-15 is not going to do any good.

01:02:55.160 Well, that's just untrue.

01:02:56.900 And when you look at a country like Afghanistan, who's defended themselves against huge powers

01:03:02.060 like the Soviet Union and, I don't know, the United States of America, they've fought

01:03:07.740 off major superpowers repeatedly.

01:03:13.240 It's doable.

01:03:14.260 If you just make life miserable for an occupying force or an oppressive force, you can eventually

01:03:20.820 win.

01:03:22.080 And that's been proven by many countries on this planet.

01:03:27.280 So I appreciate the call.

01:03:29.060 Jonathan in Alabama.

01:03:30.480 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:31.800 Yes, sir.

01:03:34.600 I was calling because I keep hearing people talk about the AR-15s and everybody asks, why

01:03:40.780 do you need such a gun to defend yourself?

01:03:43.440 Well, the answer is, is because all these criminals have the same gun.

01:03:47.720 And if I had a choice of fighting against a criminal with an Uzi or an AK-47 that's fully

01:03:53.380 automatic, I would rather choose an AR-15 than a shotgun or a pistol.

01:04:00.040 Oh, for sure.

01:04:00.640 I don't ever hear anybody saying anything about...

01:04:06.640 And that's not even the point, Jonathan.

01:04:08.780 That's not even the point of the Second Amendment.

01:04:11.380 And people don't like to hear it, but the point was to defend Americans so that Americans

01:04:16.480 could defend themselves against an oppressive government.

01:04:18.700 If it ever gets to that point, you're going to want to be armed with the best equipment

01:04:22.840 you possibly can be.

01:04:24.200 Now, it's not at that level, and nobody's claiming it is.

01:04:27.040 But it could be, and that's what the founders were concerned with.

01:04:33.040 They weren't concerned as much with hunting rights or defending yourself against a home

01:04:38.060 invasion.

01:04:38.700 They were talking about an oppressive government.

01:04:42.440 And so that's what you've got to be thinking of when it comes to the Second Amendment.

01:04:45.860 It's just our right to protect ourselves.

01:04:51.560 And so are you going to protect yourself with a little handgun against the government's

01:04:57.180 AR-15s?

01:04:58.080 You're not going to get very far with that.

01:05:01.040 Laura in Colorado, you're on the Blaze, or the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:06.240 Blaze is my day job.

01:05:07.460 Doing good.

01:05:08.620 Good, good.

01:05:09.340 Thanks for having me on.

01:05:10.500 I was really excited to hear that you're hosting today.

01:05:14.000 So I'm basically curious what you guys think is an acceptable way of identifying these people

01:05:19.820 that are mentally unstable, like James Paddock.

01:05:24.060 And so that's like, what solutions can you guys pose?

01:05:27.480 I don't have any.

01:05:28.980 To identify these guys, to prevent them from getting these weapons.

01:05:32.120 Because, I mean, we have to think about this.

01:05:34.400 He was able to obtain 42 weapons, so obviously he came across as somewhat sane when he's

01:05:40.220 buying these things.

01:05:41.240 Yeah, he did.

01:05:41.960 And, you know, and so what are we left with?

01:05:45.880 Because we have to figure out some way to identify them.

01:05:48.620 And I think that's going to infringe on some of our rights, unfortunately.

01:05:52.460 Yeah, it's a really tough question.

01:05:56.020 But it's one that we don't spend any time with.

01:05:59.240 It's one that our leaders are not putting any thought to.

01:06:02.340 And I, honestly, I don't know what that solution is.

01:06:06.200 I really don't.

01:06:07.080 I just know that that's what we should be talking about and finding a solution for that.

01:06:11.300 And in this guy's case, I don't even know that he was insane.

01:06:14.280 I don't even know that it was mental illness.

01:06:16.460 It may have been.

01:06:17.640 It may have just been pure, unadulterated evil.

01:06:21.400 Because that's what it seems like.

01:06:23.760 Again, we don't know.

01:06:25.100 But, I mean, the girlfriend swears there was nothing setting off any alarms, right?

01:06:29.600 Right.

01:06:29.860 So, where do you go from there?

01:06:32.700 Yeah, I don't know.

01:06:33.840 I don't know.

01:06:34.920 I don't know.

01:06:36.980 And that's what makes it so difficult in a free society.

01:06:39.720 Because, you know, if we're willing to give up our freedom for our security, as Benjamin Franklin said,

01:06:47.760 we deserve neither.

01:06:48.840 And we're going to lose both.

01:06:50.700 So, we have to decide somewhere along the way.

01:06:53.640 There's got to be a good balance.

01:06:54.880 And I think we've struck that balance as much as we can.

01:06:59.780 But we just don't spend any time with the mental health issue.

01:07:04.420 We don't talk about it at all.

01:07:06.760 Because every time this arises, it's all about the gun, right?

01:07:10.760 It's all about the gun.

01:07:11.780 Well, and I think, I mean, it seems like people are even hesitant to label that.

01:07:17.320 Like, well, you know, if I have some kind of anxiety disorder, I should still be able to get a gun.

01:07:21.340 I personally, and please don't blame me, but I think there are some disorders that, absolutely, I don't think you need to have a gun.

01:07:29.580 Well, yeah.

01:07:30.020 If you're psychotic, you probably shouldn't have a gun.

01:07:32.800 Right.

01:07:33.140 So, I don't have a problem with identifying as people.

01:07:36.420 But, yeah, thank you so much for taking my call.

01:07:38.900 And I always appreciate you guys.

01:07:40.900 You're mighty entertaining and obviously informative.

01:07:44.760 Thanks, Laura.

01:07:45.380 Appreciate it.

01:07:45.920 Thank you.

01:07:46.620 888-727-BECK.

01:07:51.840 Glenn, back.

01:07:57.500 Glenn, back.

01:07:59.360 Pat Gray, Ed Jevy, here for Glenn.

01:08:02.000 888-727-BECK.

01:08:05.240 I'm a little bothered by the brother of the mass killer from Las Vegas.

01:08:10.740 I mean, if your brother did this, if my brother did this, if he killed 59 people, I'm not sure I'd be out on my driveway defending him to the media.

01:08:20.520 I don't know.

01:08:21.380 Maybe it's just normal.

01:08:23.240 You love the guy.

01:08:24.180 Yeah, I mean, he's your brother.

01:08:25.580 You're not really defending him.

01:08:26.740 You know what he did was a horrible thing.

01:08:28.360 You're trying to figure out why, too, maybe, because you don't know, and you're just trying to have, look, he's my brother.

01:08:34.820 Who are you?

01:08:36.100 He's a good guy.

01:08:36.660 What is, what kind of sick, twisted human being?

01:08:42.320 You just want people to know.

01:08:43.180 So you'd be defending your brother like this guy is?

01:08:45.460 Do you think, like Eric Batic?

01:08:46.140 I hate my brother.

01:08:47.060 No, I wouldn't.

01:08:47.500 Okay.

01:08:47.920 I wouldn't do that today.

01:08:52.400 I mean, I can understand.

01:08:53.840 Yeah.

01:08:54.320 Look.

01:08:54.700 It's his family.

01:08:55.660 Yes.

01:08:56.320 And the girlfriend seems to be saying there was no sign of this, too.

01:09:01.380 And again, remember, I am a believer that you do not have to talk to the press when they come to your home just because they have cameras there.

01:09:08.960 So all of this stuff is null and void for me.

01:09:12.360 And in fact, it's strange that he's so willing to run out there and start talking to these guys.

01:09:19.620 Yes.

01:09:20.140 I don't quite understand that.

01:09:22.360 And they kind of claimed on the first day that they were nervous about their own safety, that people were going to take it out on them.

01:09:27.440 And yet he's out there every day talking to them.

01:09:29.680 Well, you know, maybe this is a time to kind of lay low.

01:09:32.960 Let's pull it back in a little bit.

01:09:34.280 Yeah.

01:09:34.500 Doug in Texas.

01:09:37.520 Hi.

01:09:38.040 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:40.680 Morning, guys.

01:09:41.560 How are you all doing?

01:09:42.200 Doing well.

01:09:44.640 I've got something nobody's covered yet.

01:09:48.460 ATF and FBI dropped the ball on this guy.

01:09:51.800 How's that?

01:09:52.260 Well, every time you buy a gun, you've got to fill out a $44.73, that federal firearms form.

01:10:01.220 Yeah.

01:10:01.940 Now, they call it in and tell them how many guns you're buying.

01:10:08.600 Right.

01:10:08.860 But apparently there were no red flags on this guy is what we've been hearing.

01:10:12.700 So what were they?

01:10:13.960 But how do you fill out $42 forms and nobody catches it that you're stockpiling guns?

01:10:22.380 Well, you can.

01:10:23.180 You can stockpile guns.

01:10:25.760 You can buy a lot of guns in this country.

01:10:28.660 Yeah.

01:10:29.240 That's part of, you know, the Second Amendment.

01:10:32.320 And did he just mention $42?

01:10:34.180 I think he did.

01:10:34.780 I think he did.

01:10:35.320 I think he did.

01:10:36.120 That other caller is going to be calling back.

01:10:37.940 I don't know.

01:10:40.600 Glenn Beck.

01:10:41.660 Love.

01:10:49.560 Courage.

01:10:50.940 Truth.

01:10:52.260 Glenn Beck.

01:10:53.100 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who returns from vacation on Monday, 888-727-BECK.

01:10:59.980 By the way, you can catch my show immediately following this one on The Blaze Radio and TV Network.

01:11:06.340 Love to see you then.

01:11:08.300 888-727-BECK.

01:11:09.580 We've been talking about some of the new information.

01:11:12.180 It's still a lot of this stuff is just pretty sketchy now.

01:11:15.260 And their officials are interrogating or talking to the girlfriend who seems to have had nothing to do with this.

01:11:23.420 But they're trying to have some light shed on why this all happened.

01:11:30.180 What's the motive here?

01:11:31.840 Who is this guy?

01:11:33.340 A millionaire shooting 58 people, killing 58 people at a country concert?

01:11:40.100 It's just, none of us can make sense of it.

01:11:42.560 And maybe sense will never be made of the nonsensical.

01:11:45.540 But we had a caller earlier who mentioned, well, originally this came from Michael Moore's Second Amendment revision where you have to obtain permission from your wife or girlfriend in order to buy a gun if you're a man.

01:12:02.680 And he said, as it's done in Canada.

01:12:05.220 Well, a Canadian told us that wasn't the case.

01:12:07.980 However.

01:12:08.640 I checked with Brian Lilly, our journalist and radio talk show host in Ottawa and friend of the program.

01:12:15.500 He said, if you don't have the signature of your spouse, ex, or recent conjugal partner, you can be denied.

01:12:24.740 So you not necessarily will be denied, but you can be denied.

01:12:28.680 Correct.

01:12:29.200 Which, again, he probably, Paddock, would have passed that, right?

01:12:33.400 Well, yeah, because she apparently didn't think anything was wrong.

01:12:35.620 I asked him about, I said, what if you're single?

01:12:38.760 You know, you don't have any partners.

01:12:39.820 If you're single, then you don't need to have anyone else sign, but there is a background check, and you still need to take the long and boring safety course.

01:12:48.440 Sounds like he has taken that.

01:12:49.700 But if your spouse or ex objects, the police can still issue you a license if they think it is a nuisance complaint.

01:12:57.280 But that is likely rare.

01:13:00.680 You also have to pass background checks here.

01:13:03.680 And they keep.

01:13:04.240 Right.

01:13:05.060 Nancy Pelosi is talking like that's just not done.

01:13:07.680 And it's done in almost every case.

01:13:09.680 The only case, is it done at gun shows?

01:13:13.080 That might be the one exception to that rule.

01:13:16.380 I've never purchased a gun at a gun show, but I know they were trying to close some gun show loophole, and I think that's what that is.

01:13:23.820 Maybe if you've purchased a gun at a gun show, you can let us know whether or not you go through a background check there as well.

01:13:30.680 Because we take precautions here.

01:13:33.720 We do have restrictions.

01:13:35.240 So, other than just repealing the Second Amendment, I don't know what the answer is for these gun control people.

01:13:46.380 We'll never talk about the actual people who commit the crimes.

01:13:49.940 It's always the inanimate object that we wind up talking about after these things.

01:13:55.020 And then we're told we never talk about it.

01:13:56.760 And people like Brian Williams, who tries to allege that Republicans just don't care about the people who are victims here.

01:14:08.520 Why don't we act?

01:14:10.260 What is the problem?

01:14:12.280 What was it about first graders losing their lives that wasn't sad enough to result in changes?

01:14:20.620 I mean, that's just, that's despicable.

01:14:23.040 That's despicable.

01:14:25.420 Yeah, you know better than that.

01:14:27.400 And I thought this guy was supposed to be a newsman.

01:14:30.860 Why don't you go make up some stories about your heroics?

01:14:33.840 No, he was a newsman.

01:14:35.220 And then they kicked him to the curb.

01:14:36.440 And then they brought him back to MSNBC.

01:14:39.800 Right.

01:14:40.160 And he's just over there.

01:14:41.240 I mean, he's over there doing whatever he wants now.

01:14:43.020 And by the way, Donald Trump is suggesting that the Senate Intelligence Committee start investigating NBC News for their fake news.

01:14:51.640 I don't think that's the road we want to go down.

01:14:56.980 There still is a First Amendment as well as a second.

01:15:00.660 And so he's upset now that they're saying that Secretary Tillerson called him a moron, which they deny.

01:15:10.860 Obviously, Tillerson denies that.

01:15:12.300 But NBC News is pretty much sticking to the story.

01:15:15.540 In fact, they added to it.

01:15:16.640 They said, well, he didn't call him a moron.

01:15:18.120 He called him an effing moron.

01:15:21.500 Is that true?

01:15:22.260 I don't know.

01:15:22.840 Does it matter?

01:15:24.040 Not really.

01:15:24.960 Not really.

01:15:25.260 Who cares?

01:15:26.860 Even if it's true, so what?

01:15:28.960 Let's move on.

01:15:30.700 We've got bigger fish to fry right now.

01:15:33.600 Well, and that's Tillerson's point, right?

01:15:35.200 Yes.

01:15:35.940 Yes.

01:15:37.020 And good for him.

01:15:39.140 He's a no-nonsense kind of guy anyway.

01:15:43.180 And then yesterday we found out something very important about Puerto Rico.

01:15:48.380 This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.

01:15:56.700 And you know that, I mean, there's big water in the ocean.

01:16:00.560 It's ocean water.

01:16:01.880 That's why you don't find it in like a bottle.

01:16:04.100 There's no bottle of water.

01:16:05.240 It's too big.

01:16:05.820 There's no bottle big enough to hold a big ocean water.

01:16:09.080 That didn't sound like it was on Proctor.

01:16:11.440 No.

01:16:13.020 But it was written for him.

01:16:14.560 He runs into a little bit of trouble sometimes when he's not reading it from a product.

01:16:19.080 But on the other hand, we find out important information like?

01:16:22.060 This is an island surrounded by...

01:16:25.760 Pudding.

01:16:26.380 Water.

01:16:26.980 Oh, water.

01:16:27.420 Big water.

01:16:28.160 Big ocean water.

01:16:29.000 Water, ocean water.

01:16:29.600 I wish there was a place surrounded by pudding like that.

01:16:32.040 Really?

01:16:32.980 No kidding.

01:16:35.080 It wouldn't be surrounded by that pudding very long with us around.

01:16:38.300 That's a fact.

01:16:40.160 Let's go to Jay in Idaho.

01:16:42.780 Hey, Jay.

01:16:44.360 You're on the Glenbeck program.

01:16:45.740 Hi.

01:16:46.440 How's it going, brother?

01:16:47.520 Doing good.

01:16:49.200 Yeah.

01:16:49.700 He had a caller about 25 minutes ago saying the difference between a hunting rifle and

01:16:58.140 a sidearm and assault rifle.

01:17:01.080 I'm a 12-year combat vet.

01:17:03.820 I belong to a recon unit.

01:17:06.840 And in my opinion, for one, anything putting into the hand of somebody evil is going to

01:17:16.180 do damage.

01:17:17.480 Sure.

01:17:17.700 Yeah.

01:17:18.000 Absolutely.

01:17:18.760 Yeah.

01:17:18.920 In a trained professional, you know, or untrained, even if you're good, you know, if he would

01:17:26.580 have had any type of precision firing mechanism up there, the body count could probably be higher

01:17:33.020 in my estimate, even if it was bolt action.

01:17:35.040 You know, he was praying and spraying and hoping.

01:17:39.540 Yeah.

01:17:39.740 You know, if you're looking through a glass and aiming downrange, well, now he's got a

01:17:45.660 clear line of target and intent.

01:17:47.960 And chaos is the best way, you know, to rain it down.

01:17:52.500 Right.

01:17:52.920 You know, that's my first point.

01:17:54.220 It doesn't matter.

01:17:55.780 You know, I mean, we're going to shoot sidearms overseas.

01:17:58.100 When one weapon system fails, we go move to the next.

01:18:01.740 There you go.

01:18:02.280 And I have friends that are professional target shooters, and I've seen them put 16, 18 rounds

01:18:11.760 down in a pistol in three seconds with pinpoint accuracy.

01:18:16.320 You know, and that's, that makes me look bad.

01:18:19.100 And, you know, it's almost kind of scary.

01:18:21.080 And the second note on that is, you know, I drive truck now.

01:18:24.640 Now, and as sinister as this thought could be, and I apologize for it, if, if there would

01:18:32.080 have, if that man would have been driving a semi at that concert and took that hard

01:18:37.300 right, what happens if you drive a big truck through that crowd?

01:18:41.020 Oh, yeah.

01:18:41.940 It would have been horrifically worse.

01:18:42.960 You know?

01:18:43.240 Yeah.

01:18:43.760 Or the same thing with, you know, God forbid, you know, it's an evil thought.

01:18:48.420 You know, they talk about that elementary school.

01:18:50.760 You drive a semi into the side of a kindergarten room.

01:18:54.120 Oh, yeah.

01:18:54.940 It's, yeah.

01:18:55.640 You know, it's.

01:18:57.360 Too horrifying to even contemplate.

01:18:59.920 Yeah.

01:19:00.520 And evil people and with malicious intent are going to do things no matter what they decide

01:19:07.660 to take away from us.

01:19:08.820 They're going to find something else.

01:19:10.240 You know, they, you can build anything out of anything or get a book off a line that shows

01:19:15.740 you how to go underneath your cupboard and, and do what you need to do.

01:19:19.320 You know, and it, they talk about common sense.

01:19:24.280 Well, the guy passed every background check out there.

01:19:28.020 Right.

01:19:28.540 Right.

01:19:28.920 Yeah.

01:19:29.160 The background check is, is not, the background check is, is not perfect.

01:19:33.320 It's, it's not gonna, it's not going to keep hands out of the, out of everyone with evil

01:19:37.940 intent or, or crazy thoughts.

01:19:40.000 Thanks for the call, Jay.

01:19:40.920 And thanks for your service.

01:19:42.360 Appreciate that.

01:19:42.960 Alan in Georgia.

01:19:44.140 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:46.880 Thanks, Pat.

01:19:47.660 Hey.

01:19:48.200 Good to talk to you.

01:19:48.920 I've been listening for a while.

01:19:49.900 First time caller.

01:19:50.920 My thoughts were on the mental health issue.

01:19:52.900 You had some, some callers talking about mental health and you, you, you guys had referenced

01:19:57.800 a little bit.

01:19:58.660 Mm-hmm.

01:19:58.880 Um, mental health is not something that you could scan at a gun counter.

01:20:04.360 You don't have long enough to talk to.

01:20:06.100 I mean, some, yeah, there's obvious crazy out there, but you can't, you can't screen that

01:20:10.400 out of a gun purchase.

01:20:11.640 So that's something that the community has to be aware of and notify authorities.

01:20:16.900 Is that uncomfortable?

01:20:17.920 Entirely.

01:20:18.500 But if that's your job as a human being.

01:20:20.740 Yes.

01:20:21.160 Um, you, you cannot rely solely on law enforcement to screen mental health issues.

01:20:26.960 Mm-hmm.

01:20:27.780 It's not something that I want in the hands of the government because they might think

01:20:30.560 I'm crazy and they might take, I don't know, my kids from me.

01:20:33.420 They do that already, um, from people that are perfectly normal.

01:20:37.040 Y'all, y'all had, uh, um, a special on the, on the program a while back about that.

01:20:41.560 So what, what would the government take from you if they deemed you mentally incapable

01:20:46.680 of whatever you want the government getting into the mental health issue?

01:20:50.240 That is scary.

01:20:51.220 Well, the other, the other problem with that too, while we're on that topic is if somebody

01:20:55.260 in your family has mental illness, they're probably not going to let anyone in that family

01:21:00.400 own a gun because if they're in the house, they're going to have access to it would, would

01:21:05.060 be the thought process.

01:21:06.460 And so, yeah, there's a lot of issues there that are really difficult.

01:21:10.520 Um, but if we, if we have that conversation about how to keep guns out of the hands of psychotic

01:21:22.860 people, and I, I don't know what the answer is there.

01:21:27.440 I, I don't, I don't know how exactly you do that, but you start the conversation and maybe

01:21:32.720 we figure it out.

01:21:33.680 I, I do know that it's not the gun's fault.

01:21:36.580 And so if we could just start from that point of view and, and work on, uh, on the people,

01:21:43.460 we'd be a lot more successful at this.

01:21:46.640 I mean, and it's, and it's not the idea.

01:21:48.440 Look at China.

01:21:48.960 They had a 29 person stabbing, what was that a year or a half ago?

01:21:51.740 Yes.

01:21:52.320 29 and a half, 29 people.

01:21:53.820 That's almost half.

01:21:54.820 Yeah.

01:21:55.440 Or right at half of the, of the Las Vegas deal.

01:21:57.680 Of course that's dead, not injured.

01:21:58.860 And we got 500 some odd injured, but it's not the weapon.

01:22:02.820 It's the person and you cannot control people.

01:22:05.160 I believe O'Reilly said at best, that's the price of our freedom.

01:22:08.280 Yeah.

01:22:08.560 It sucks.

01:22:09.120 Nobody wants it.

01:22:09.920 Heck I've got kids and I don't want them to die.

01:22:11.760 And I don't want to die at the hands of a crazy gunman.

01:22:13.820 But if you restrict every, if you, if you restrict all the freedoms, then you have none

01:22:18.740 yourself.

01:22:19.380 That's exactly right.

01:22:20.480 Yeah.

01:22:20.880 Not a, not a price I'm willing to pay.

01:22:22.460 Thanks Ellen.

01:22:23.040 It goes back to the Benjamin Franklin quote, those who will give up their freedom for their security,

01:22:28.280 will lose both and they deserve neither.

01:22:32.040 And I really, I, I'm on board with that.

01:22:35.860 Most Americans I think are.

01:22:37.280 I would, at least they would, I would hope that they would tell you that they are.

01:22:40.140 Yeah.

01:22:40.340 One of the things that's so hard with the, the mental health issue is that we've made

01:22:43.980 it such a taboo thing to talk about.

01:22:47.680 Yeah.

01:22:48.180 You know that, uh, you know, you have mental health issues.

01:22:51.740 No, no, no, we know you do.

01:22:54.960 And with good reason, because it can cost you your job.

01:22:58.840 It can cost you gun ownership, friends, all of them.

01:23:02.300 Yeah.

01:23:02.460 I mean, it's really, it's really hard to break through that now for sure.

01:23:06.720 It is.

01:23:07.280 Uh, Matt in Missouri, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:09.860 Hi.

01:23:11.300 Hey guys.

01:23:11.960 Thanks for taking my call.

01:23:13.120 Sure.

01:23:13.320 Um, I was, uh, calling in regards to the, to the guy last hour that claimed to be a

01:23:20.020 army veteran and talking about the semi difference between semi-automatics and ball.

01:23:25.620 Mm-hmm.

01:23:28.200 Did we lose him?

01:23:29.380 Had just a, can you hear me?

01:23:31.600 Yeah, I can now.

01:23:33.000 Oh, sorry.

01:23:34.320 Right down the road, don't have a very good signal.

01:23:36.460 Okay.

01:23:36.980 But, um, I was calling in reference to the guy that wanted to.

01:23:40.200 Yeah, the AR-15 guy.

01:23:41.520 Yep.

01:23:41.720 Yep.

01:23:41.780 We heard that part.

01:23:42.500 And a 308, um, an AR-15 is not a 308, uh, it is a 5.56.

01:23:48.800 And if he actually wanted to claim that he knew what he was talking about, um, you know,

01:23:54.000 that's, I know it's difference between apples and oranges, but, uh, you know, it just aggravates

01:23:59.420 me when people claim that they're, they're a veteran, which I am not, I've never have

01:24:03.100 claimed, claimed to be.

01:24:04.860 And, you know, if you get faulty information.

01:24:07.960 I know, man, it's embarrassing.

01:24:09.020 I didn't want to embarrass him on the, I didn't want to embarrass him on the line, you know.

01:24:14.660 And neither Jeffy nor I know what we're talking about much when it comes to the, the ins and

01:24:19.740 outs of, of guns.

01:24:21.640 But I do know that, uh, bolt action takes a little bit longer to fire than an AR-15, but

01:24:28.400 that's not the point.

01:24:29.420 Again, that's not the point.

01:24:30.780 Oh, I, I know.

01:24:32.020 Yeah.

01:24:32.340 And to remind, uh, that idiot that from, uh, the university of Texas back in the sixties,

01:24:37.820 right.

01:24:38.600 Yeah.

01:24:38.800 How many people, people with a Remington 700, it only held three, three rounds.

01:24:45.040 And, uh, one more quick point.

01:24:47.100 Uh, you asked about the, the gun show.

01:24:49.600 Yeah.

01:24:49.880 Um, if you buy a, if you buy a gun from a private collector or an individual at a gun

01:24:56.000 show, you do not have.

01:24:56.900 That's what it is.

01:24:57.920 If you buy from.

01:24:58.780 That's not a loophole.

01:24:59.640 That's just.

01:25:00.460 Yeah.

01:25:01.260 Yeah.

01:25:01.540 Anywhere.

01:25:02.180 People selling guns at gun shows have to go through a background.

01:25:06.840 Yeah.

01:25:07.480 Uh, so almost everybody, I mean, 99% of people who buy guns get the background check.

01:25:13.260 Thanks, Matt.

01:25:14.400 Uh, let's go to Bob in Florida.

01:25:16.140 You're on the, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:17.900 Hi.

01:25:18.020 Hey, let's, uh, I just wanted to tell you, I think Matt just answered the question that

01:25:24.040 I was going to give you, which is I've gone to gun shows in several different States and

01:25:28.040 from reputable dealers across their counter, we do a background check.

01:25:31.900 It's just part of what happens.

01:25:33.440 I've seen deals take place out in the parking lot and that's another story.

01:25:37.780 Okay.

01:25:38.200 Yeah.

01:25:38.460 So when it's private owner to private owner, it's a little bit different that way.

01:25:42.500 Exactly.

01:25:43.020 And deals do happen.

01:25:44.040 And, but, uh, if you walk up to a reputable dealer at a gun show and you want to buy a

01:25:48.940 firearm, first thing he's going to do is say, okay, you got to fill out the paperwork.

01:25:52.060 I got to run the check.

01:25:52.960 It just, the way business is done.

01:25:54.640 Yeah.

01:25:55.340 Thanks, Bob.

01:25:55.960 Appreciate it.

01:25:56.300 I mean, I think we've all done deals out of the parking lot.

01:25:58.340 You know, that goes without, that goes without saying.

01:26:01.100 Maybe not your kind of deals, but yeah.

01:26:02.600 Glenn and Stu are back on Monday.

01:26:18.500 You can check out my new show, Pac-Rae Unleashed, immediately following this one on the Blaze Radio

01:26:23.420 and Television Network.

01:26:24.100 We still, we're continuing to get, uh, little fragments of some strange information, such

01:26:31.100 as Steven Paddock, the, the, uh, evil killer in Las Vegas, booked a hotel room overlooking

01:26:39.160 Lollapalooza in Chicago two months ago.

01:26:41.800 Two months ago, he was apparently thinking about doing the same thing in Chicago.

01:26:45.520 Now he never showed, but, um, there's a, uh, screenshot of his booking, uh, when he was

01:26:56.260 supposed to arrive and all of those things at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago, where 400,000

01:27:01.480 people gathered over four days to watch some big musical acts, including Malia Obama.

01:27:08.420 Obviously he never showed up.

01:27:09.760 He never did that, but it's just another strange little twist here that shows that he'd been

01:27:15.020 planning something for a really long time.

01:27:17.240 And it leads me to believe that it's not about the medication then.

01:27:20.340 It's not about some kind of, uh, psychotic episode brought on by his antidepressant, which

01:27:26.620 I guess can contribute to aggressive behavior.

01:27:29.640 So that, that can't be what it is.

01:27:32.260 He just planned this too long, too meticulously.

01:27:35.060 Yeah.

01:27:35.620 He's buying weapons for a whole year prior to it.

01:27:38.960 Now, some reports are saying he had 97 weapons, not 42.

01:27:45.020 And for the caller who said that we, we mentioned he had 42 in the hotel room, though, I'm not

01:27:52.360 saying that was in the hotel room.

01:27:54.040 That was, he just had 97 weapons period.

01:27:56.980 Okay.

01:27:57.340 I don't want there to be a misunderstanding there.

01:28:01.240 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven back Matt in Virginia.

01:28:04.700 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:28:05.940 Hi.

01:28:06.800 Hey, Glenn.

01:28:07.480 Thank you for taking my call.

01:28:08.540 Um, I wanted to say something that I really haven't heard anyone say, and, uh, of course

01:28:14.580 not the mainstream media or anything like that, but the problem that we're having isn't a gun

01:28:21.020 problem.

01:28:21.700 It's a God problem.

01:28:23.740 We have turned our backs on God, this country over the past 60, 70 years.

01:28:29.560 And this is the ramifications of it.

01:28:32.180 We now have, you know, um, abortion at an all time high, mass killings, all these different

01:28:40.400 things.

01:28:40.940 And America has become like a leaky roof.

01:28:44.600 And what I mean by that is we have all these leaks in our roof.

01:28:50.960 And so what our, what our politicians and our leaders have done, the ones that we elected

01:28:55.620 to fix these problems, they've just taken a bucket and put it under there.

01:28:59.360 Well, eventually that bucket is going to overflow.

01:29:03.400 And so now they're saying, Oh, well, how do we get the water up off the floor?

01:29:07.020 Well, it's just going to mop and mop it up instead of going to the root problem of this.

01:29:12.480 There's no medication.

01:29:13.660 There's no laws or regulations that can, that can prevent someone that is determined to go

01:29:21.400 out and kill someone to stop.

01:29:23.920 There is, there is nothing that can be done about that.

01:29:27.080 Kane didn't use an AR 15 to kill Abel.

01:29:30.120 He used a rock or a stick or whatever.

01:29:32.640 Right.

01:29:33.160 Right.

01:29:33.640 You know, there isn't, it just, it just, until we realize that as a nation and go back to where

01:29:42.260 our fundamentals were based on.

01:29:45.000 We're going to continue to have problems.

01:29:47.200 Appreciate it, Matt.

01:29:48.420 Great point.

01:29:49.780 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

01:30:01.200 Glenn Beck.

01:30:07.920 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:30:10.020 With Matt Gray and Jeffy.

01:30:10.860 Glenn's back on Monday, triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

01:30:16.280 You can join me for Pat Gray Unleashed immediately following the show on the blaze radio and TV

01:30:20.700 network.

01:30:22.260 Michelle Obama is out race baiting again.

01:30:24.860 It's always, it's always nice.

01:30:26.620 The Obamas, I think have done more to harm race relations in this country than just about

01:30:32.820 anybody else in the last hundred years.

01:30:34.980 We are still, still paying for the Obama race baiting.

01:30:39.060 And they continue to do it.

01:30:40.660 Divide, divide, divide.

01:30:43.060 They just continue.

01:30:44.460 And the left loves them for it.

01:30:46.900 They love them for it.

01:30:50.500 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

01:30:53.180 We've been discussing quite a bit today.

01:30:54.860 There's some new information that's coming out about this psychotic killer in Las Vegas.

01:31:01.040 His girlfriend has been speaking with authorities.

01:31:03.240 Don't know a heck of a lot of what she said other than she wasn't a part of it and she didn't

01:31:07.180 see it coming.

01:31:08.280 Nobody in his life apparently did.

01:31:09.960 His brother is kind of defending him.

01:31:11.700 It's strange that a millionaire would snap like this and do this.

01:31:20.300 And we've moved past her original comments of I have a clear conscience and I'm going

01:31:25.020 to fix it.

01:31:25.760 Yeah.

01:31:26.040 Nobody seems to know what that's about.

01:31:27.900 I mean, maybe she didn't grasp exactly what happened.

01:31:31.020 So she was trying to take care of it.

01:31:33.660 I don't know.

01:31:34.240 But that seemed out of place.

01:31:37.140 Maybe what we should start doing is locking people up who are just plain weird.

01:31:42.620 You know?

01:31:43.240 Okay.

01:31:43.420 That was too weird a statement.

01:31:44.760 We're just going to lock you up for a while.

01:31:47.060 I'm going to keep an eye on you.

01:31:48.040 I could not agree with that.

01:31:50.480 You would be the first.

01:31:51.760 I could not agree with that.

01:31:52.780 That's a dumb rule.

01:31:53.980 They'd throw away the key.

01:31:56.040 And so, yeah, I can see how you'd want to rethink that.

01:31:58.720 Yeah, that's a dumb rule.

01:32:00.020 Yeah.

01:32:00.860 Chris in Virginia, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:32:03.320 Hi.

01:32:04.280 Yes, sir.

01:32:06.080 I had two points.

01:32:07.400 Okay.

01:32:08.020 Number one, I'm a nurse.

01:32:10.440 Male nurse.

01:32:11.080 That's when a strike against me.

01:32:13.360 You know, I was going to stereotype you and say that you sounded male.

01:32:18.200 That's probably wrong of me, but that's where I was headed.

01:32:21.760 With my thought process.

01:32:23.280 Yes, sir.

01:32:23.780 Well, it's very hard dealing with the coworkers sometimes.

01:32:28.780 Just start identifying as a female and you'll be fine.

01:32:31.900 Yeah.

01:32:33.560 Well, yeah, I'll do my best.

01:32:35.600 Now, and I work in behavioral health.

01:32:39.720 I have in the past.

01:32:41.800 Okay.

01:32:42.480 Now, you do have a federal law, HIPAA.

01:32:47.540 That's the Health Care Information Privacy Importability Act that they put in place, which makes it extremely hard.

01:32:57.460 Yes, it does.

01:32:58.160 Extremely hard to get any information about anybody with their health care.

01:33:04.140 You're exactly right.

01:33:05.560 Mm-hmm.

01:33:06.320 When they do a background check, there's no part of that that comes from mental health, you know, from the state.

01:33:15.860 I mean, if you're a felon, you're a felon.

01:33:19.340 If you are that crazy, you are not in that thing that they're going to...

01:33:27.320 Then that won't show up in the background check, chances are.

01:33:30.160 Not a bit.

01:33:30.700 Yeah.

01:33:31.440 Yeah.

01:33:32.400 You're right.

01:33:33.060 The HIPAA law would have to be dealt with.

01:33:35.640 And they need to deal with it.

01:33:37.160 Yeah.

01:33:38.660 And they should have done it way back when.

01:33:42.660 Now, this guy...

01:33:43.580 Thanks for the call, Chris.

01:33:44.880 This guy, this Steven Paddock, seemed to have no mental illness history in his background, right?

01:33:50.040 As far as I know, he wasn't mentally ill.

01:33:53.260 But some of the family dealt with mental issues, I think.

01:33:56.500 Did they?

01:33:57.480 Like the dad, for sure, right?

01:33:58.860 Oh, yeah, the dad was a felon.

01:34:02.280 Yeah.

01:34:02.920 A bank robber and on the run.

01:34:06.060 And, yeah, I think he had mental illness.

01:34:08.500 And I think there was a report this morning talking about not the driveway brother, but the other brother.

01:34:15.960 Does he have two brothers that one of them is talking and one of them is not?

01:34:19.600 Well, there's Eric.

01:34:19.700 There's Eric, and then there's Tito, Marlon, and Jermaine.

01:34:23.300 And I don't think they're talking.

01:34:25.460 I'm not sure which one is in the driveway.

01:34:26.500 They're dancing, but they're not talking.

01:34:27.700 Luke in North Carolina.

01:34:29.780 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:30.820 I listened to you a little bit ago and asked a question about buying weapons at gun shows.

01:34:42.360 I've bought guns at gun shows.

01:34:43.920 I've bought guns at Walmart, and I've bought them from friends or family.

01:34:47.240 Right.

01:34:47.320 Here in North Carolina, I don't know.

01:34:50.400 You know, I know every state has a little bit different laws.

01:34:52.160 But if I want to go to a store or gun show and buy a long gun, be it a rifle, shotgun, whatever, I still have to fill up the same paperwork, and they still enter into the computer.

01:35:01.240 And it does like an instant thing.

01:35:02.800 If your name pops up, we can't sell you a gun, this, that, and other.

01:35:06.180 It may put you on a waiting period.

01:35:07.080 I don't know.

01:35:07.380 This never happened to me.

01:35:08.520 Yeah.

01:35:08.720 Right.

01:35:09.020 They run your stuff through.

01:35:10.640 They're the exact same as what any other stuff.

01:35:12.700 Yeah, it seems to be that the only way you don't get a background check is private person to private person.

01:35:19.340 Then there's not a background check there.

01:35:21.780 Right.

01:35:22.400 Yeah.

01:35:23.040 But everybody else receives one.

01:35:24.740 Which one?

01:35:25.340 Yeah.

01:35:26.440 If you sell, I know, a pistol.

01:35:27.820 If I sell a pistol to somebody and they don't have a permit for it, and we have to either have a concealed carry, or you can get five permits through the county sheriff's office per however many years.

01:35:37.500 If they don't have a permit and you sell them a pistol, and they do something illegal, it can come back on you because it's your responsibility to make sure they can legally have that handgun.

01:35:47.360 Long guns aren't the same way because you don't have to have a permit to have one.

01:35:50.360 Right.

01:35:51.080 But you have to have it to be able to get the pistols.

01:35:54.660 All right.

01:35:55.040 Thanks for that insight, Luke.

01:35:56.280 Jim, in Maine, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:59.660 Hi.

01:36:00.880 Hey, guys.

01:36:01.620 Hey.

01:36:01.920 Interesting academic discussion today.

01:36:05.340 I don't know how relevant it is.

01:36:06.980 I mean, this guy had millions of dollars, and he was a pilot.

01:36:11.460 He wanted to kill somebody or a group of people.

01:36:14.520 He had bigger tools than a bump fire stock on an AR.

01:36:21.020 Yes.

01:36:21.580 Okay.

01:36:22.140 Yes.

01:36:22.660 I mean, you know, we need to bring some reality into the discussion here.

01:36:27.740 I'm a gun manufacturer.

01:36:28.900 I've been in the business for 25 years now.

01:36:31.860 You know, they're still just a mechanical object.

01:36:36.500 They can still only do so much.

01:36:39.580 You know, he had other teams to kill large groups of people.

01:36:44.060 And I agree with you.

01:36:46.420 Yes, you have said that.

01:36:47.740 And you've said it over and over.

01:36:49.600 But, you know, the debate, so-called debate, really is irrelevant.

01:36:55.440 We're just seeing an opportunity.

01:36:58.140 We, they, I guess, are just seeing an opportunity to exploit a situation.

01:37:04.440 You know, we had a murderous individual that killed a bunch of people and wounded a bunch of people.

01:37:09.020 And, thank God, he didn't decide to do it with an airplane.

01:37:14.020 Yeah.

01:37:14.240 Yeah.

01:37:14.860 You know, he could have easily have killed more people.

01:37:17.900 The crowd would still be there.

01:37:19.980 They were all lit up.

01:37:21.140 He could still hit them with an airplane if.

01:37:25.000 Yeah.

01:37:26.360 Yes.

01:37:26.980 I mean, exactly right.

01:37:28.160 Appreciate the call, Jim.

01:37:29.180 That's what makes this such a difficult discussion.

01:37:32.840 It's just that if we don't bring these things up, the left will just control this, control this argument and will eventually wind up without a second amendment.

01:37:45.660 So, you do what you can to combat that.

01:37:49.080 Because every single time, you know what's going to happen.

01:37:52.600 As soon as the shooting happens.

01:37:53.720 And as soon as we, our first reaction, of course, is for the loss of human life and how tragic that is.

01:38:01.120 And then the next thing you think of is, oh boy, here we go again.

01:38:04.700 Because it happens every time.

01:38:06.220 Every single time.

01:38:07.080 And fortunately for us, this time, the House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, took us to school.

01:38:14.260 Oh, didn't you know?

01:38:14.920 And made us realize that it's not about getting rid of the second amendment.

01:38:18.460 Right.

01:38:19.100 We're not trying to take guns.

01:38:20.460 She did say that.

01:38:22.500 She sets you straight, my friend.

01:38:23.420 Yeah, because she responded to a question just yesterday.

01:38:26.600 How does rendering me defenseless, me meaning a law-abiding citizen, by taking away my ability to defend myself in the manner in which I believe I should be able to choose to where I want to, how does rendering me defenseless protect anybody else from a violent crime?

01:38:44.860 Well, let me be a consolation to you.

01:38:47.000 No one is advocating that.

01:38:49.400 That's a flat out lie.

01:38:51.220 Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Pat.

01:38:54.100 Because right there, she said it.

01:38:55.180 No one is advocating that.

01:38:57.380 You hear that proposed almost every day.

01:39:02.760 Every day.

01:39:03.660 We're not talking about taking guns away from people.

01:39:06.260 We're talking about.

01:39:07.160 And that used to be Barack Obama's excuse all the time, too.

01:39:11.540 Nobody's talking about taking guns.

01:39:13.280 I'm not talking about guns.

01:39:14.200 I'm talking common sense.

01:39:15.660 Common sense gun control.

01:39:17.480 Common sense legislation.

01:39:19.100 And they never say it's gun control because that's a bad phrase for him, too.

01:39:24.980 I'm not talking about the second amendment.

01:39:26.980 This has nothing to do with second amendment.

01:39:28.620 I'm just trying to take the guns.

01:39:30.380 Yeah.

01:39:30.780 I'm just trying to save lives.

01:39:33.360 I mean, it's just that.

01:39:34.940 He doesn't say that, but that's what he's saying.

01:39:38.220 We're not talking about the second amendment.

01:39:39.780 We're just saying we don't want guns in the hands of Americans.

01:39:42.620 That has nothing to do with the second amendment.

01:39:44.880 I don't even know where.

01:39:45.640 Are you crazy?

01:39:46.240 Why'd you bring up the second amendment?

01:39:48.080 I'm just trying to take your gun from you.

01:39:50.400 Keith in New York.

01:39:51.320 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:39:52.700 Hi.

01:39:53.980 How you doing?

01:39:54.920 Good.

01:39:55.120 We've got a voice out there to have a little bit of reason about all this stuff that's

01:39:59.800 going on.

01:40:00.460 Yeah.

01:40:01.180 The reason why I'm calling is I currently work for an oil company, but I used to work

01:40:05.600 for an armored car company.

01:40:07.680 Been shot at twice in that line of work.

01:40:10.500 And it makes you realize that not everybody out there is sane.

01:40:14.560 Yeah, we were carrying money on the truck, so that's probably a little gold nugget that

01:40:17.780 they're trying to possibly take over, which didn't happen.

01:40:21.440 But the reason why I say that is I was dating a girl at the time.

01:40:24.660 And at that point, I got done to work, went to my girl's house, and her mom's like,

01:40:28.900 absolutely, under no conditions, are you bringing that firearm into my house?

01:40:32.440 I respected her wishes, and I said, okay.

01:40:34.700 So I went home, didn't live that far away.

01:40:36.600 Long story short, we ended up Christmas shopping, and this is down the road.

01:40:41.380 And whenever I'm not working, I carry my firearm, even today.

01:40:46.460 We got approached in the parking lot by a gentleman who basically wanted to rob us.

01:40:50.280 I didn't have to brandish the sidearm.

01:40:51.820 All I had to do was reveal that I had it and said, we didn't want any trouble.

01:40:55.060 I said, I'm not calling the cops, but you need to leave.

01:40:58.180 We get back to her parents' house, and she ran into her mom's arms and gave her a big

01:41:02.120 hug.

01:41:02.500 And after that point, not that her mom was pro-gun after that, but she didn't mind that

01:41:07.500 I was carrying it as long as I had her daughter with me.

01:41:09.840 Isn't that interesting?

01:41:10.880 Huh.

01:41:11.280 Yeah.

01:41:11.780 Huh.

01:41:12.880 I guess the point of the matter is very simple.

01:41:15.420 It's like, unless you're looking that bear in the face in the woods, you don't really

01:41:19.900 know what's going to happen actually looking at you.

01:41:23.820 Yeah, exactly right.

01:41:25.040 Thanks, Keith.

01:41:26.340 And that's the interesting aspect of the Nancy Pelosi's of the world, and even the Michael

01:41:31.780 Bloomberg's, who makes no bones about it.

01:41:35.140 He wants guns out of the hands of Americans.

01:41:38.780 He does want to repeal the Second Amendment, and he's got an armed force of security with

01:41:47.260 him everywhere he goes.

01:41:49.580 In fact, Michael Bloomberg would probably sit on that same stage with Nancy Pelosi and say,

01:41:52.780 Nancy, don't.

01:41:53.780 That's a lie.

01:41:54.520 Yeah.

01:41:55.100 Nancy, we do.

01:41:56.440 Why are you telling these people this?

01:41:58.380 But take the guns away from Michael Bloomberg's security force.

01:42:02.400 Oh.

01:42:02.880 Yeah, let's see what happens then.

01:42:04.240 Well, he deserves it.

01:42:05.720 Uh-huh.

01:42:06.000 He deserves it to have the-

01:42:07.340 Yes, the elites.

01:42:08.260 Yes, yes.

01:42:09.080 Deserve to be protected.

01:42:10.420 The rest of us, we're on our own.

01:42:12.080 Yes.

01:42:12.560 You just wait and see if law enforcement shows up in time.

01:42:15.260 And then, look, if they don't-

01:42:17.600 Eh, it was your time.

01:42:20.180 It's your time to go.

01:42:21.920 Whatever.

01:42:23.440 Sean in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:42:27.300 Hey, guys.

01:42:28.100 How you doing?

01:42:28.740 Doing good.

01:42:30.180 It's very roundabout with everything.

01:42:32.600 I never served in the military.

01:42:35.320 I've always wanted to, thought that I would be very good in it.

01:42:39.420 But at a young age, I just decided I needed to make a little bit more money.

01:42:44.020 But I've always been, I believe in this country.

01:42:47.020 I love America.

01:42:48.200 Any time that there's ever been a situation that somebody looked like they were in need, I jumped in to help.

01:42:58.760 But I don't think we need any more regulations.

01:43:03.920 We don't need, I love this country, and I think we're fine.

01:43:07.380 Yeah.

01:43:07.480 The problem is, the media lately and over the years, it's just gotten so much worse.

01:43:17.280 And as a side thing, I think Pelosi and Obama may have, somebody should look in to see if they own stock in Remington and all the gun manufacturers.

01:43:29.540 Yeah, that's been tossed around before.

01:43:32.680 Yeah.

01:43:34.440 They're just driving up all of the purchases.

01:43:38.140 You can go today.

01:43:39.080 I guarantee you, if you tried to buy one of those, and I'm a gun owner, those slip stocks or whatever that is that that guy manufactured,

01:43:47.500 I bet you can't buy one, not because of regulations.

01:43:50.280 It's because everybody ran out to get it before it got regulated.

01:43:55.120 You're right.

01:43:55.780 Appreciate it, Sean.

01:43:56.420 In fact, we had a story, there is a story today, there's a headline, that the Bumpfire stock is spiking now.

01:44:05.200 Of course.

01:44:06.160 They're buying them because they're afraid they're going to be done away with.

01:44:12.580 It's going to be illegal to own them soon.

01:44:14.980 So, yeah, people run out and try to get them before that happens.

01:44:20.900 And that's what happened under Obama, and it's going to happen again, too.

01:44:24.000 888-727-VAC.

01:44:26.420 Glenn, back.

01:44:35.580 Glenn, back.

01:44:37.880 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who's back Monday.

01:44:42.740 We'll be back tomorrow morning, filling in for him one more time this week.

01:44:46.360 And, of course, you can catch my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, on the Blaze Radio and TV Network right after this.

01:44:51.900 A lot of people talk about the fact that, well, if you can have an AR-15, which is designed only for killing.

01:45:00.560 Killing machine.

01:45:01.420 It's a killing machine.

01:45:02.740 What else was it designed for?

01:45:04.720 Killing people.

01:45:05.840 Well, killing people or animals or shooting targets.

01:45:08.620 Yes.

01:45:09.800 Yes.

01:45:10.360 Right.

01:45:10.920 It's not lawn fertilizer.

01:45:13.460 It's not a doorstop.

01:45:14.980 You can't use it as a paperclip.

01:45:17.380 Yeah.

01:45:17.800 It's used to break things and hurt other things.

01:45:21.200 So, yes.

01:45:21.960 But all weapons are that.

01:45:24.260 So, they'll say, well, would the founders have okayed rocket launchers and tanks?

01:45:32.500 Yeah.

01:45:32.940 I think they would have, yes.

01:45:34.280 Yes.

01:45:34.820 I think it's pretty clear that they didn't try to restrict the ownership of weapons.

01:45:39.880 Having faith in Americans that you're probably not going to attack your next-door neighbor with a cannon for no apparent reason.

01:45:46.920 Because, you know what?

01:45:48.680 People weren't as insane then as they are now.

01:45:50.940 No, and going back to an earlier caller, they hadn't lost God yet.

01:45:55.480 Right.

01:45:56.200 Exactly right.

01:45:57.660 Deal with the people.
