Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who returns Columbus Day, this coming Monday.
00:00:21.940
Welcome. You know, it's really sad that we never have the discussion of gun control.
00:00:31.980
I mean, there's never a time for it with these Republicans and these conservatives and these gun nuts who believe in the Second Amendment.
00:00:40.640
Everybody just wants to bury their head in the sand.
00:00:42.580
That's right. They never want to talk about it.
00:00:45.240
And, of course, that's all we talk about every single time there's a tragedy, is gun control and not the people involved.
00:00:53.620
And some interesting developments happened yesterday as this continues to boil.
00:01:01.800
One of them was that the NRA kind of surprised everybody by supporting the additional regulations on bump stock,
00:01:10.200
the rapid fire device that the monster in Las Vegas used.
00:01:15.180
The group said devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.
00:01:25.860
I don't know if I've ever seen the NRA favor any sort of gun control.
00:01:32.620
Maybe I've missed it, and maybe they have in the past, but this seems pretty unusual.
00:01:37.220
The NRA called yesterday for regulators to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.
00:01:46.720
And are they doing that so they head off some of this discussion?
00:01:51.040
They've been so badly demonized by the left, by Democrats, and blamed for virtually everything.
00:02:00.260
So, Stephen Paddock, the gunman in Vegas, had put these accessories on at least 12 of the rifles that he used in the attack.
00:02:16.280
They allow almost 100 high-velocity bullets to be fired in seven seconds.
00:02:23.320
And that's what the argument is as far as him having some kind of help, which we may never know.
00:02:29.180
But because those are difficult to use, you know, you have to have a little bit of practice and training to use those.
00:02:40.460
I mean, you can go out and shoot bazookas off in the desert and nobody would know it.
00:02:45.100
So, he could have trained out there, but we just don't know.
00:02:47.800
And they say he's been building his arsenal for decades.
00:02:50.660
So, I don't know if he's planned this for decades.
00:02:52.760
Apparently, police have found evidence of other plans.
00:02:55.160
We talked about one of them yesterday was he had booked a hotel overlooking Lollapalooza two months ago in Chicago, but never showed up, thankfully.
00:03:04.540
And so, there was another music festival in Las Vegas that happened that he was also seemingly preparing for.
00:03:16.200
I mean, so there was some sort of possibility of him thinking that he could escape during or after this shooting.
00:03:24.120
They think he was plotting to escape, his plan was to escape, and then do more.
00:03:29.860
And they're even saying that, first of all, that note that everybody was speculating was a suicide note that's in the photos of the hotel room, not a suicide note.
00:03:38.780
And so, they think it might have been accidental, the gunshot wound that killed him.
00:03:44.280
They think while he was moving his weapons, something went off.
00:03:50.700
Yeah, maybe angels pulled the trigger and put an end to this thing.
00:03:57.100
So, we may have, we, it could, it could possibly have been much, much worse than this.
00:04:06.200
And if he would have escaped, who knows what he would have done.
00:04:08.580
Interestingly, yesterday, they've, they're, they continue to talk to his girlfriend.
00:04:20.840
She seems like she really didn't have any idea.
00:04:24.000
And she kind of assumed because, uh, before the shooting, obviously, he sent her to the Philippines.
00:04:30.960
He said, I found some, some, uh, cheap tickets for you to go back home.
00:04:34.920
And then he wired her $127,000 and said, Hey, here's a house, buy a house for you and your family.
00:04:41.220
So, she thought he was breaking up with her, which he may have been, knowing that this
00:04:47.520
Uh, she also said that he would lie in his bed, screaming and moaning, which leads you
00:04:54.320
to believe there's some issue there, something mental health or physical.
00:05:00.740
And he told, apparently it was reported that, uh, you know, they've talked to his, uh, and
00:05:05.300
in today's world, it's not a barber, it's a hairdresser.
00:05:07.600
So, they talked to his hairdresser, uh, and, uh, that barbers prefer hairdresser.
00:05:21.280
I mean, I, and what did you go to a hairdresser?
00:05:27.120
It did is what did her, the hairdresser said that the last time he was in, he said that,
00:05:31.980
uh, he was sending the girlfriend away, uh, you know, he found some tickets to the Philippines.
00:05:37.620
He was, then he was going to be alone for a while.
00:05:42.320
Meanwhile, in this, uh, discussion, you may have seen circulating, uh, the statistic that
00:05:46.860
gun violence has taken more lives since 1968 than all of America's wars combined.
00:05:54.320
More Americans have died from gunshots in the last 50 years than all American wars.
00:06:00.180
And they post the figures of the revolutionary war, war of 1812, Indian wars, Mexican war,
00:06:06.960
civil war, Spanish American world war, world wars one and two, Korea, Vietnam, desert shield,
00:06:16.060
All of those wars combined have taken 1.2 million American lives.
00:06:21.160
According to this statistic, firearms have taken one and a half million, 1.53 million
00:06:28.740
Now, I noticed they don't, uh, I don't, I'm getting a little aside, but I noticed they
00:06:33.800
don't mention, uh, Operation Urgent Fury, uh, the, uh, the Island of Spice, the invasion
00:06:39.960
of Island of Spice that, uh, claimed to have taken part in, you know, some of us were, you
00:06:57.660
Uh, they, uh, they also did not mention the invasion of Panama to get, uh, right.
00:07:13.300
Now that, that includes suicides, accidents, everything in the last 50 years.
00:07:20.180
But what goes without notice here to the left is that, uh, so you've got 1.2 million service
00:07:28.960
people, troops killed in action in all American wars.
00:07:33.300
You have 1.53 million deaths by, by gun violence and you have 53 million babies murdered by abortions.
00:07:44.580
They don't seem to, I mean, as much as they care so deeply about human life, oh, it just,
00:07:52.620
it hurts them to think that anyone has died from, at the hand of a gun.
00:07:57.580
They don't care how many people have been killed by the hand of an abortion doctor.
00:08:06.120
How about 25 times the number of both gun related deaths and war, death and war combined.
00:08:17.880
So don't come to me with your holier than thou, look at how no Republicans or the gun nuts
00:08:29.140
The, the ones who don't care about a human life are the ones who just, who believe that
00:08:40.720
Uh, and speaking of thanking people, have you seen the tonight show?
00:08:46.020
Thank you, Hillary, uh, video that they did the other night.
00:08:50.580
They had all the female writers for the tonight show, get together and, uh, thank Hillary for
00:09:06.440
Thank you, Hillary Clinton for being the first female presidential candidate nominated by
00:09:16.040
And also the first first lady to transcend first ladyhood to become secretary of state.
00:09:21.520
I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you, Hillary Clinton, for being the Hillary Clinton
00:09:27.600
Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for handling this difficult transition with more grace than I
00:09:35.560
If she handled this with more grace than you ever could have imagined, you've got a terrible
00:09:45.180
You need to look at some fairy tales and develop that imagination a little bit.
00:09:49.600
She's handled this worse than anybody I've ever seen.
00:09:52.380
She's continually blaming something or everyone else but herself for the loss.
00:09:56.880
That being said, call me day or night and I will be there with a gallon of ice cream
00:10:01.480
and two spoons to tell you, girl, you are so much better than him.
00:10:04.840
Thank you, Hillary, for all the work you've done for public health care.
00:10:10.720
Ever since the election, I've really depended on my government subsidized anti-anxiety medication.
00:10:16.140
Thank you, Hillary, for remaining strong and showing poise before, during, and especially
00:10:22.960
You taught me that when dealing with a difficult defeat, it's okay to take time to reflect,
00:10:27.980
set your focus on a new path forward, and maybe find a cave in the woods to scream into.
00:10:32.620
I wouldn't mind if it was a cave in the woods that she was screaming into.
00:10:36.740
She continues to scream into microphones with cameras all around her.
00:10:41.160
Thank you, Hillary, for always sticking to the issues.
00:10:44.080
Even as people criticize you for superficial things like your hair, your wardrobe, and your
00:10:49.460
You showed girls everywhere that politics isn't a popularity contest.
00:10:53.640
She also showed girls everywhere how good you can look in a Mao outfit.
00:11:00.660
Because if it were, you would have won by about three million votes.
00:11:11.760
Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for being someone I continue to admire and look up to.
00:11:17.260
And for standing up to critics who said that a woman couldn't be president because they'd
00:11:22.060
be too emotional, impulsive, and unpredictable.
00:11:34.460
So glad we didn't end up with someone like that.
00:11:36.820
Thank you, Hillary, for being a constant beacon of strength, hope, and determination for
00:11:45.680
This is Miley Cyrus now, getting all emotional over Hillary.
00:11:50.100
You've been a role model and an inspiration and a voice of reason in uncertain times.
00:11:55.640
I could go on and on, but I'd like to get right to the point.
00:12:00.600
Thank you, Miley, the Tonight Show writers, and all of the women and young girls out there.
00:12:08.200
You are smart, strong, and deserving of every opportunity.
00:12:14.020
Together, we've made our voices heard, we've done great things, and we've come a long way.
00:12:20.300
But as Miley would say, we can't stop, and we won't stop.
00:12:33.620
Thank you for being the worst candidate who's ever run for president.
00:12:37.940
And not being elected, even though everybody, everybody thought you were the absolute lock
00:12:52.300
And those writers, no wonder the Tonight Show is not funny.
00:13:02.840
It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:13:34.240
I know that, you know, we had the horrific shooting in Las Vegas.
00:13:38.040
Uh, but it's time now that, uh, we need to start thinking about this.
00:13:42.480
Uh, police in central Wyoming say a man they arrested and they arrested him for public
00:13:50.020
But he claimed that he traveled back in time, uh, to warn of an alien invasion.
00:13:57.340
He claimed he was from the year 2048 and that, uh, he was sent back to a warned people
00:14:03.320
of Casper, Wyoming, that aliens will arrive next year and they should leave as soon as
00:14:09.600
Well, if you're, if you're an alien and you've traveled here from a hundred trillion miles
00:14:14.120
away, the first place you'd go is Casper, Wyoming, I think.
00:14:21.860
You take over Casper, Wyoming, and then you work your way out from there.
00:14:26.560
Maybe it's the following year because he claimed here that he was supposed to be transported
00:14:35.940
You know, it's amazing how they time travel too.
00:14:37.960
And I wasn't aware of this, but according to him, they fill the aliens, fill your body
00:14:46.420
Well, if that's the case, my dad should have been transported to about 1506.
00:14:56.560
So, so you got a couple of years, but he wants everybody to get out of Casper.
00:15:04.040
But again, you've got until 2019, not 2018 to, to get out.
00:15:10.660
Triple eight, seven, two, seven back Jeff in Florida.
00:15:18.200
Uh, what I wanted to bring up was, uh, talk about there being possibly a second shooter
00:15:34.840
But my point is that I'd have a little bit of a firearm background and the man could have
00:15:41.260
very easily done this by himself with no problems.
00:15:44.360
The 10 suitcases that came up, the bellman probably had them on his car and took them
00:15:50.660
up to the man's room, uh, you know, and put them in there and had no idea.
00:15:56.540
I've heard talk about whether it was a fourth floor.
00:15:59.700
All you have to do is look at how many windows you're not shooting out of that hotel unless
00:16:08.960
I've never heard of this until this shooting happened.
00:16:11.460
However, there is something called a hellfire trigger mechanism, which does pretty much
00:16:18.200
Um, you know, so, uh, what I'm more curious about is I saw some photos from Alex Jones yesterday
00:16:24.720
and it showed a photograph of a note with a pin by it at the feet of Steven Paddock.
00:16:31.560
I'm more curious to know what was on the note and why they haven't said anything about it.
00:16:36.140
Uh, they have, they've said, they've said things about it.
00:16:42.140
Um, and you want to be careful getting information from that source because a lot of it is just
00:16:52.460
Hi, you're on, uh, the Glenn Beck program with Pat Gray and Jeffy.
00:16:56.740
Hey guys, how's everybody doing out there in America?
00:17:00.440
Um, I don't know about everybody, but we're fine.
00:17:09.040
Anyway, I've had so many great things to call in about and I just had this stupid one and
00:17:15.020
I finally get through and it's, well, maybe it's not so stupid because you know, you guys
00:17:21.820
Your music, your sad music in the background is eerily similar to the tonight show music in
00:17:29.660
the background and I wonder if they're, the music that they used was theirs.
00:17:35.760
You don't notice the difference, the similarities, the similarities between the music in the background
00:17:45.140
Versus your sad music when you do your bad bits.
00:17:56.940
I think, okay, so, so, so Eric, that's, that's the sad music I use.
00:18:03.480
And here's the Hillary bit for being the first.
00:18:06.040
Thank you, Hillary Clinton for being the first female president.
00:18:17.460
All the stupid things I hear and want to say to you guys, and I get through on this
00:18:30.620
It was worth looking into, though, because it is close.
00:18:36.980
And plus, I mean, we want to be able to thank Hillary to the right tune.
00:18:41.840
I mean, you can't just throw any sad music out there.
00:18:49.820
For being the worst candidate that's ever ashamed the Democrat Party, allowing a talk
00:19:31.500
With Pat Gray today, you can check out my new show, which is Pat Gray Unleashed,
00:19:36.560
immediately following this show on the Blaze Radio and Television Network.
00:19:40.640
Also have Twitter now, at Pat Unleashed, and of course, Facebook.
00:19:46.440
For some reason, I have competing Facebook places.
00:19:50.480
I don't really know how you find a Facebook page.
00:19:54.920
You can just go to Facebook and type in the name, right?
00:19:58.480
So you'll see my original page and the Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:20:18.480
So do you, and you're pretty active on social media, right?
00:20:29.100
Isn't that the one that goes away in about six seconds?
00:20:31.180
Plus, they have the thing now where you, you know, you hold the picture up and they put
00:20:34.500
little crowns on your face and make you look like little doggies and stuff.
00:20:38.920
And it's just, you know, my 10-year-old daughter loves it.
00:20:44.680
You don't want to have a little crown on your face?
00:20:46.660
Or make it look really fat because it already does, you know, so I don't need the spread
00:21:01.000
Beck, interesting comment when the president posed for a photo op with some military leaders.
00:21:06.920
And he's just making small talk with the reporters who were gathered there.
00:21:24.720
If you can understand it, it's like we're all here.
00:21:37.860
We have the world's great military people here, Mr. President.
00:21:47.340
So, naturally, that piqued the reporter's interest.
00:21:50.680
And so they asked him, what storm are you talking about, Mr. President?
00:22:02.440
This is one of the reasons he was elected, right?
00:22:07.540
He has no filter like that, like a politician would.
00:22:10.740
You don't, when you've had some experience in the government, you know better than to
00:22:14.840
telegraph military intervention, which may be coming.
00:22:19.980
You don't want to talk about the fact that we may be having a storm somewhere on the planet.
00:22:31.720
You get the military leaders there and their wives, and you're getting ready to have a
00:22:34.780
little dinner, and you don't want to joke around about, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, you know.
00:22:39.520
We're just about to go to war with North Korea.
00:22:41.760
In fact, we're launching the attack next Thursday afternoon at 4 local time.
00:22:50.940
I don't know what time that is in North Korea, but you guys can all do the math.
00:23:03.280
But again, everybody was excited about Donald Trump because he didn't have the same hangups
00:23:13.200
He wasn't as tightly constricted and restrained as other politicians were.
00:23:26.300
So this is what we're getting now in the presidency.
00:23:37.320
You know, the Hillary thing, the Miley Cyrus thing, I'd make a great Saturday night lives.
00:23:43.700
I'm hoping that, of course, you know, these are people that are all sacred to them.
00:23:51.120
No, the reason I called is nobody's talking about the girlfriend and her little travels
00:24:04.460
The news, it's been all over the news, is she bought a ticket.
00:24:09.960
She went to Japan and Hong Kong before she went to the Philippines.
00:24:21.880
It's just, you know, you'd think FBI would be all over trying to figure out why she's traveling.
00:24:26.980
Well, I mean, I'm sure they're asking because they have been interviewing her for the last
00:24:38.960
What I haven't heard is that people don't realize is that the AR-15s in use, that bullet
00:24:51.240
Therefore, when the shots were fired, the bullet is in the crowd before the actual sound of
00:25:00.380
So therefore, it's giving you, it sounds something like a .22 when it goes by you.
00:25:09.900
And therefore, people in the crowd are thinking there's another shooter because they're hearing
00:25:13.740
these shots sound like they're being fired in the crowd, which is the sonic boom from
00:25:19.260
And then they hear the blast from the 32nd floor.
00:25:28.400
That's why people are coming with this conspiracy.
00:25:41.220
I've got a question about the shooter's girlfriend as well.
00:25:49.420
Why in the world does she have a lawyer and what kind of lawyer is he?
00:25:54.320
If he's a criminal lawyer, I'd be really suspicious about her.
00:26:03.240
And if you're being called in to talk to the FBI over something like this, you're going
00:26:12.060
So you definitely want to have somebody with you who is on your side.
00:26:17.420
I mean, that's a, a lot of people, I think, used to feel that way.
00:26:21.880
But, and obviously, you know, some people still do.
00:26:25.200
But, man, in times like that, you have to have somebody that's on your side.
00:26:28.820
I mean, if there's anybody who knows about needing a lawyer, it's Jeffy.
00:26:31.880
And in times like that, when you're being questioned by the FBI, Pat, trust me when
00:26:45.840
I was just, just completely under, you know, with the whole bump fire banning.
00:26:52.960
It's just crazy because if they start banning that, they need to ban belt loops and thumbs
00:26:57.540
because that's the original bump fire method that we used to use.
00:27:03.580
I mean, are they going to start, you know, regulating that?
00:27:05.780
Well, I was, that's why I was surprised that the NRA is seemingly backing the effort.
00:27:12.960
And it shoots just as many rounds as the bump fire and then the stock does.
00:27:20.740
You use your belt loop and your thumb and you just shoot from the hip.
00:27:24.360
I mean, it's crazy because it's the same, same, same effect.
00:27:29.280
So you could shoot off a hundred rounds in a minute or whatever with using that technique.
00:27:34.980
And it would only take you maybe about 10 minutes to learn how to do it.
00:27:41.660
And again, that's why, I mean, the NRA doesn't usually succumb to this kind of stuff, but
00:27:49.400
I'm not really sure, but because they've already banned, essentially banned automatic weapons.
00:27:56.340
So I think the NRA is, maybe their theory is, well, automatic weapons are banned.
00:28:14.500
And it does because they're getting, you know, they're being so demonized right now that
00:28:22.300
It's just, it's outrageous what's being said about the NRA.
00:28:30.720
The Nancy, these boots are made for walking, Nancy Sinatra.
00:28:36.360
Who had a hit record in 1966, and we haven't seen her since.
00:28:41.240
I didn't even know she was still alive, but apparently she is because she just wished death
00:28:52.900
She said they should all be rounded up and executed by firing squad.
00:29:05.920
But if it's against the NRA, it's understandable.
00:29:10.660
Bob in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:16.660
A subject that I haven't heard anybody talk about, not on my local radio show, or you
00:29:27.600
Every time anyone purchases a firearm from an FFL, Federal Firearms Licensed Individual,
00:29:38.480
On that paperwork is all your personal information, the purchaser of the firearm, when, who, what,
00:29:44.300
where, when, and how, the background checked, and you're saying you're not a mental detective,
00:29:49.600
you're not a felon, you're not this, you're not that.
00:29:56.100
And the FFLs are required to keep that paperwork as long as they're a business.
00:30:00.280
And if they go out of business, or retire, or sell their firearms business, that person
00:30:09.660
still has to maintain those files for years after, and I'm holding in my hand an application,
00:30:17.220
record of sale, Pennsylvania State Police, for a handgun I purchased, at a gun sale, at
00:30:22.660
a gun show, which is where there's supposed to be a loophole.
00:30:25.980
There is no loophole, unless you're an individual.
00:30:31.160
Like, if I sell a weapon to Jeffy, obviously he's not going through a background check.
00:30:51.640
All the nonsense that was spewed by Nancy Pelosi and others, Hillary Clinton, and everybody's
00:30:58.200
alleging, they're making it sound like there are no background checks.
00:31:01.400
In probably 99% of gun purchases, there is a background check.
00:31:07.540
I mean, I realize that some people can't listen all the time, Bob, but other than that, I
00:31:28.520
See, I'll tell you why the NRA said what they said.
00:31:33.020
If you remember correctly, they said, we need to look into, have it looked into as to why
00:31:46.900
They've been scrutinized by the government already and said, these are not a machine gun.
00:31:51.860
You still have to pull the trigger, and one round goes off.
00:31:55.820
How you're making your finger pull the trigger is irrelevant, and that's why they said what
00:32:01.740
they said, because it's going to fall back on BATFD.
00:32:16.720
Several stories about the bump fire thing being approved under Obama, though.
00:32:26.880
Some kind of approval happened under Obama, and so maybe that's what they're hoping people
00:32:55.820
Continue to try to digest what happened Sunday night in Las Vegas, and the resulting fallout,
00:33:02.320
because, as we all knew, we'd be knee-deep in gun control talk all week, because they never
00:33:11.560
waste an opportunity to take advantage of a tragedy.
00:33:16.380
And that's what they're trying to do again, trying desperately to get gun control jammed
00:33:22.580
through, and trying to essentially negate or repeal the Second Amendment.
00:33:28.620
Mike at Georgia, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:34.020
Yeah, they crack me up with that, because they're trying to get every weapon that they
00:33:39.840
can, they'll gather up, but they won't take one illegal criminal and send him back home.
00:33:44.940
Now, what makes them think they can get all the weapons, but they can't find one illegal
00:33:56.500
And whether you're talking about the rule of law from the Second Amendment or the rule
00:34:00.680
of law of immigration statutes, it's critical to follow that and to be a nation of laws instead
00:34:16.480
Well, on the blaze and on the Glenn Beck program.
00:34:22.700
I wanted to talk about the narrative that's going on in the media about the AR-15 family
00:34:27.200
of guns and other modern military rifles, about them being designed to kill as many people
00:34:35.440
Just after World War II, the world government's military started switching from the .30 caliber,
00:34:40.360
you know, like the M1 Grand and the 7mm sizes of bullets, to the .22 calibers, .223 and
00:34:45.520
.556mm sizes of bullets for many reasons, but one of them was to wound the target rather
00:34:50.980
than kill them, so that the comrades would have to take them off the field of combat,
00:34:57.100
and you'd have to take care of them rather than just being dead.
00:35:01.260
And other reasons, you know, reducing weight, making them more reliable because they're not
00:35:05.160
handling as high pressures and all that, but it's just kind of interesting to me to hear that.
00:35:11.260
Yeah, you don't want to take that talking point from them, Chad, that the only function
00:35:21.020
They think they're really onto something there.
00:35:36.700
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who returns on Monday from his vacation, 888-727-BECK.
00:35:42.900
Of course, trying to make some sense out of what happened in Las Vegas, we just, we may
00:35:51.140
There's some reporters saying that authorities know a lot more than they're saying, but, you
00:35:58.440
Right, and some of the answers we'll get down the road, you know, and the authorities are
00:36:02.620
busy, you know, going through, weeding through his, you know, every ounce of his life from
00:36:08.560
Sunday to, you know, probably until he was born, since he was born, we'll know everything
00:36:15.500
There have been stories that said he's been planning this for decades.
00:36:19.760
I mean, it's hard to, it's hard to say, because supposedly the girlfriend didn't even
00:36:24.360
know, she didn't say, he didn't say anything to her about this.
00:36:28.580
About hurting anybody, killing anybody, doing anything like this.
00:36:32.380
And then, you know, the brothers are saying that he never was a big hunter.
00:36:38.560
Yeah, but now you have up to 97 weapons I've been hearing.
00:36:42.240
I mean, while, yes, this is the United States and you can have all the weapons you want,
00:36:46.620
normally if you have, I don't know, more than a dozen weapons, people know about it.
00:36:55.980
People like to take guns out and shoot various kinds.
00:37:08.660
It's really difficult to move them state to state, as Glenn has attested to.
00:37:17.760
They put so many taxes on it that it just made a cost prohibitive for most people.
00:37:21.160
And then in 1986, they flat out banned any automatic weapons from that point on.
00:37:28.240
Now, you can buy an older one, an automatic weapon that was manufactured prior to 1986.
00:37:45.100
What they were talking about this morning, one of the reports, was that we actually may never know the real why.
00:37:55.280
Because, I mean, that's the ultimate answer that we're all waiting for, right?
00:37:58.360
We want the FBI, we want the Sheriff's Department, we want the family to get all the questions asked and all the answers and all the boxes checked off so we can say, this is why this animal monster did what he did.
00:38:15.480
And in the meantime, of course, the left are screaming about gun control and how to stop this.
00:38:23.960
I don't know if there's a way to completely safety wrap our society.
00:38:33.920
And nobody's saying we're just going to give up on it.
00:38:36.940
But we're not taking any look at the people involved.
00:38:47.200
Is there something we could have done to prevent it?
00:38:50.200
Is there an institution some of these people need to be in?
00:38:54.860
I mean, the 50 million NRA members that Nancy Sinatra wants to line up and put in front of a firing squad, if they were the problem, I think Nancy would really know it.
00:39:08.860
Also, speaking of Nancy's, Nancy Pelosi, something is wrong there.
00:39:17.220
But people are compiling some of her recent discussions with either reporters or interviewers or some statements she's made.
00:39:36.260
Is there, I mean, there's something wrong there.
00:39:38.780
And some people are speculating it might be an alcohol problem.
00:39:48.140
Bigotry and discrimination and anti-Semitism and xenophobia.
00:39:58.340
Xernophobia have been to increase, improve, lower cost, improve benefits, and expand.
00:40:18.180
Perhaps as we have St. Patrick's Day lunch, we can have a moment of, what?
00:40:38.000
Affordable Care Act will stand there with Social Security, with Medicare and Medicare.
00:40:49.000
We could not have done it without Families USA and without you.
00:40:57.440
I look forward to continuing our work with Families USA under your leadership.
00:41:20.600
Martin Luther Singh said, of all the inequality you've seen...
00:41:24.340
Martin Luther Singh said, of all the inequality you've seen...
00:41:31.740
And then just last week, she was trying to congratulate Lin-Manuel Miranda.
00:41:42.280
Lin-Manuel Miranda is the great creative talent.
00:41:45.860
Lin-Manuel Miranda took the story of our founding and imbued it with a fresh life and infectious spirit.
00:41:57.180
We celebrate Lin-Manuel Miranda, a man gifted by the muse of history.
00:42:21.900
And originally, I thought, you know, some have said that, you know, I know that it's an alcohol or a drug problem.
00:42:26.440
And some have reported that it could be a denture issue.
00:42:34.760
But when you put them together, it doesn't sound like a denture issue.
00:42:48.380
I just wanted to go over a few questions that were raised yesterday on your show.
00:42:53.740
The first being the glass as to why people on the strip below didn't announce, hey, it's raining glass down here.
00:43:00.980
The police noted that he had a tactical hammer, which means he would have punched a hole into the window, a single hole, and then more than likely pulled the glass into the room, not pushed it out.
00:43:18.320
But the second one is the other concerts that he had booked hotels and why he didn't follow through.
00:43:24.960
And I think it's because no matter how crazy someone is, there's still usually someone that they love.
00:43:31.560
And Mary Lou was still in the country for both of those other events.
00:43:35.600
He wasn't able to get her to the Philippines until the final one where he actually pulled off his caper.
00:43:44.940
Her sister or brother in one of the interviews said had she been there, she would have stopped him.
00:43:50.620
So I think he just, he was trying to protect her.
00:43:58.480
He wasn't able to get his cheap ticket to Philippines.
00:44:01.680
And then once he was able to get it and she was out of the way, he felt a little more secure in pulling off what he did pull off.
00:44:10.940
We would have a totally different conversation if he had shot up an all-black concert.
00:44:17.740
If he had pulled off that rap concert, I mean, this would be a whole other conversation.
00:44:23.080
I mean, just thank God that he was a white guy that killed a bunch of white people because it would have been a whole other topic if he had pulled off the rap concert.
00:44:41.300
And, in fact, if you go back and look at Twitter the night of and the next day about white people dying, it's despicable what people were saying, that they deserved it, that good, you know, he didn't go far enough.
00:44:55.820
I mean, it was all kinds of hatred on Twitter over that.
00:45:03.860
I got a couple different things, especially here in your conversations going on.
00:45:07.140
One thing is, have they asked any questions about where that $127,000 came from?
00:45:12.920
And if she sent it over, another thing I was thinking, if she's bouncing around in all those different countries, isn't Southeast Asia right now at ISIS top point?
00:45:20.880
I know a lot of people have said that the radicalized Islam might not necessarily be involved in this.
00:45:25.880
But that's kind of something to think about, too, if the Philippines had such a heavy presence there.
00:45:32.200
It's not always somebody that actively flags a fly.
00:45:37.920
And so it kind of makes sense that he was just sending her the money there.
00:45:42.180
If it had gone to some organization in the Philippines, yeah, then I think that casts real suspicion.
00:45:50.120
He was worth quite a bit of money from real estate.
00:45:55.020
He was worth, they said, he was worth over $2 million.
00:45:59.020
So, I mean, by giving her, you know, obviously $100,000 is not chump change.
00:46:06.700
I mean, he was busy gambling $100,000 on the weekend.
00:46:10.540
They said that he was gambling by himself a couple of days before the shooting.
00:46:17.340
We haven't seen any of the footage from the casinos.
00:46:20.100
We don't know who came, his comings and goings.
00:46:22.200
I mean, that's all footage that we're waiting to see that, you know, obviously is part of the investigation.
00:46:36.840
You really concerned or are you just making small talk?
00:46:41.000
I'm sensing, I'm feeling that he just doesn't care.
00:46:45.240
You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all.
00:46:49.220
And I can't say that there was one or two shooters or three or four.
00:46:54.640
But it seems funny to me that with, you know, as many people there were at that concert, they were able to pinpoint one.
00:47:03.460
But everybody says they could see from the 32nd floor somebody shooting.
00:47:07.400
You'd think if there was other ones that somebody would come forward and say, yeah, there's a man with a gun shooting.
00:47:14.320
It's not with that many people at the concert and that many eyes looking around.
00:47:18.680
The other thing that I have a question about is the fourth floor.
00:47:21.760
I don't believe that there was a shooter from the fourth floor.
00:47:23.880
But has anybody come forward and said what that flashing was coming from that window?
00:47:29.820
And it had nothing to do with shots being fired.
00:47:32.080
I don't remember what they said was flashing, but it flashed several times and it flashed before the shooting began, too.
00:47:39.780
So it was something else, and I don't remember exactly what.
00:47:53.220
You know, you've got this venue with 22,000 people, high rises all around, and it's kind of inside the box thinking.
00:48:03.820
Why didn't they have, you know, a guy or a gal up there, a couple of them with, you know, snipers covering the area?
00:48:10.100
Should someone be held responsible for lack of security?
00:48:15.860
I mean, I don't know that they provide that kind of security for events like that where you would cover a crowd with snipers.
00:48:31.080
I know when there was, when we gathered on the mall in Washington, D.C., it seems like there was security like that.
00:48:37.720
But only for certain gatherings, if there's certain threats, if they perceive that there's some kind of threat ahead of time, they might cover it like that.
00:48:47.620
But other than that, I don't think you're going to have that kind of coverage and that kind of security.
00:48:54.540
I was going to say, you know, it'd be cheap security.
00:48:57.700
They had all this stuff on the ground to keep, you know, people from getting run over and everything.
00:49:05.840
Yeah, I mean, this is the first time somebody has lined up across the street from a vantage point like that above a crowd, to my knowledge.
00:49:15.940
So I don't know that you would see this coming.
00:49:40.920
Talked a little bit about Cam Newton yesterday.
00:49:44.180
He has been in some hot water for sexist remarks.
00:49:48.400
And here's what he said at a press conference when a female reporter asked him a football question.
00:49:54.660
A lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well.
00:49:57.540
Devin Funchess has seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes and getting those extra yards.
00:50:04.820
Does that give you a little bit of an enjoyment to see him kind of trump-sticking people out there?
00:50:12.200
Okay, so that's the worst thing a human can do, I guess, now, is to mock a female's knowledge of football.
00:50:22.320
I mean, the way that we are in society now, nobody can have fun with anybody else.
00:50:32.920
And so, I mean, his coach is even kind of piling on.
00:51:01.460
And it's usually, you know, it's usually Dannon.
00:51:05.360
You have a lot of people asking us in the new black.
00:51:20.640
And he, uh, he's, you know, giving Dannon yogurt to people.
00:51:33.360
New Dannon Oil Coach Triple Zero is my go-to protein snack.
00:51:39.160
This Greek nonfat yogurt packs 15 grams of protein punch.
00:51:43.180
Unlike some of the protein snacks, it has zero added sugar,
00:51:59.360
But he said something about a woman talking football routes.
00:52:07.960
He just said it was funny to hear you talk about routes.
00:52:11.980
And it's so big that he did this big apology for it.
00:52:15.240
With a careful thought, I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and
00:52:32.060
And if you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you.
00:52:41.600
I'm a man who tries to be a positive role model in my community.
00:52:51.380
And tries to use my platform to inspire others.
00:53:00.420
Because it was funny to hear a woman talk about routes.
00:53:19.160
It's pretty amazing how ultra sensitive we are.
00:53:35.180
But I just think it's so ridiculous that we've taken things this far.
00:53:53.420
20 years ago, would that have been a huge issue?
00:53:56.260
First of all, 20 years ago, women weren't allowed in the locker room or the press corps.
00:54:02.020
Well, they could maybe be at the press conference.
00:54:06.160
They could maybe be in the press conference if they made some cookies and brought them.
00:54:58.000
With Pat Gray and Jeffy, we've been trying to get our heads around the shooting, of course,
00:55:10.300
I think several hundred of those have already been released.
00:55:13.440
Something like 350 of them are apparently okay now and been released from the hospital.
00:55:20.260
So, your calls on the, and then the resulting gun control, which was inevitable, but also
00:55:26.760
Cam Newton got fired from Dannon Yogurt yesterday.
00:55:33.340
He kind of laughed at a female reporter's knowledge of, and it was extensive, and I think
00:55:40.120
And so then he just, he noted that it was funny to hear a female talk about wide receiver routes.
00:55:47.260
And, you know, look, Dannon can do what they want.
00:55:50.140
I mean, it's a privately held kind of thing to do whatever they want.
00:55:53.320
But, to pull the plug, and their press release made it seem like Cam Newton was friends with
00:56:04.440
They, their statement is, we are shocked and disheartened at the behavior and comments
00:56:09.260
of Cam Newton toward the Jordan, is it Rodrigue, Rodrigue, Rodrigue, which we perceive as sexist
00:56:19.580
It is entirely inconsistent with our commitment to fostering equality and inclusion in every workplace.
00:56:27.080
It's simply not okay to belittle anyone based on gender.
00:56:31.240
We have shared our concerns with Cam and will no longer work with him.
00:56:34.280
I guess it was okay in the Dannon commercial that we just aired.
00:56:39.380
Listen to the end of this commercial where the wimpy guy comes up to Cam.
00:56:43.960
It has zero added sugar, zero artificial sweeteners, and zero fat.
00:56:55.400
Is that fostering equality with that young man?
00:57:22.180
Hey, it's a pleasure to finally speak to you guys.
00:57:27.880
You're really concerned or you're just making small talk?
00:57:32.960
So one thing I wanted to get on is the whole bump fire butt stock thing.
00:57:40.760
And honestly, you know, of course, all the politicians are saying, oh, it's a fully, it makes it fully automatic.
00:57:53.680
But basically, the only way to actually turn into a real true full auto is to replace the trigger and put it, you know, adjust the seer on it and everything like that.
00:58:06.240
And the thing is, I mean, there's multiple trigger systems out there.
00:58:09.760
There's one where you pull the trigger, it fires, and then you release the trigger and it fires.
00:58:13.880
And, of course, you know, there's a special safety for that as well.
00:58:22.440
So, and then on top of that, you know, of course, they want to ban and everything like that.
00:58:26.720
I mean, they're talking about all these gun control.
00:58:31.660
There's not, I mean, honestly, I don't think you can up it any more than what it already is.
00:58:42.760
Obviously, I mean, unless it's the black market or, you know, obviously some fuck down the road that's selling them on the streets.
00:58:51.820
And they always say, oh, well, there's that gun show loophole.
00:58:59.040
There's still a background check at the gun show.
00:59:01.560
It's the private seller loophole if they really want to, you know, if you want to talk about a loophole,
00:59:05.680
if I said, like we were talking about earlier, if I sold a gun to Jeffy, he doesn't go through a background check then.
00:59:14.260
Which would, of course, preempt Jeffy from owning a weapon.
00:59:20.960
It depends on state to state as well, I think, because they weren't doing something.
00:59:26.040
I think if it's family, I think you can, but if it's not family or out of the family, I think some states were requiring they actually had to go to the shop and actually have them do the background check and transfer paperwork.
00:59:49.640
I just kind of want to echo what your last caller said.
00:59:56.040
And the whole trigger system, I think there's a lot of misconceptions out there.
01:00:00.400
And even conservative media, television, radio, everybody's kind of getting it wrong on the bump stock.
01:00:06.000
With the triggers we put in our guns, we use hyperfire triggers.
01:00:11.880
You can put it in any standard mil-spec, aftermarket, AR.
01:00:16.560
And with that, a trained shooter can get north of 400 to 500 rounds a minute easily.
01:00:23.840
So the whole bump stock debate, the problem with it is you get people, like even Paul Ryan, saying, I don't know what this is.
01:00:29.180
So it makes it a very easy scapegoat to get that proverbial camel nose into the tent.
01:00:34.600
You might want to keep this information to yourself, though, Dan, because if that's the case, they'll go after anything that makes it faster.
01:00:43.840
So the point isn't necessarily, well, is it automatic fire then?
01:00:48.260
Even if it's not as fast, they're still going to attack it.
01:00:52.440
And if it goes up to 400 rounds a minute, they'll say there's no reason to do that except to kill mass.
01:00:58.120
And then they'll try to get limitation on magazines.
01:01:10.620
So, yeah, keep some of that information on your inside voice.
01:01:14.520
I appreciate the call and the information and everything, but, you know, I mean, I appreciate
01:01:18.500
that Glenn has one of your weapons, but what are we, chopped liver?
01:01:35.860
Yeah, I just wanted to say that, you know, the liberals wanted to take away the guns
01:01:41.460
from everybody, but in reality, the only ones they need to take the guns away from are
01:01:46.360
the liberals, because they're the ones seemingly to be doing all the shooting.
01:01:51.420
Yeah, and that's, I mean, I don't know if this guy is going to turn out to be a liberal.
01:01:56.640
Some people are speculating, thanks for the call, Mike, that he chose this particular
01:02:01.360
venue, because they were quite possibly Trump supporters, quite possibly Republicans.
01:02:08.340
It was mostly white, and country music fans tend to be more conservative.
01:02:18.060
Yeah, I was calling about the numbers situation.
01:02:23.480
You quoted some numbers they used about people that died in recent war.
01:02:31.260
Yeah, NBC's numbers were that 1.2 million soldiers have died in war.
01:02:37.820
1.53 million people have died from gun-related deaths since 1968.
01:02:46.760
I really, it really irritates me when media describes a piece of time and says, where can
01:02:57.280
More people have died in car accidents since that same time period.
01:03:04.620
Look at the real, how many law-abiding citizens that own guns have committed anything like
01:03:11.460
this since guns were, background checks were introduced, and people that go out and get
01:03:19.960
Let's look at the numbers of how many people have actually committed something similar to
01:03:24.720
this that are law-abiding citizens and put that kind of math out there, and not just
01:03:35.380
Then the other thing, let's close the loopholes.
01:03:38.540
Look, I am a, I have a gun owner, but I can't stand all these loopholes either.
01:03:56.580
If it's auto or close to auto or near auto, it should not be allowed, period.
01:04:04.680
And I love guns, and I'm an NRA member, but you don't need bull auto for anything in the
01:04:09.540
United States, except for fun at a range, and you can rent that, and you can go try it out,
01:04:16.300
Well, it's, that seems to sort of be the NRA's position, which is kind of surprising as well.
01:04:23.580
They seem to be supporting, at least looking into it.
01:04:28.140
And the other thing is, if NBC and the left is so concerned about human life.
01:04:33.740
Uh, let's take a look at the other number that they never care about.
01:04:38.320
The 53 million babies that have been murdered since 1973 in Roe v. Wade.
01:04:47.100
That's 25 times the number combined that they used in gun-related deaths and in war.
01:04:59.480
And if you're so concerned about human life, let's do something about that.
01:05:11.660
It's probably less of an honor because this isn't Glenn, but, uh.
01:05:22.500
I'm also a trauma surgeon and director of a trauma center here in Florida.
01:05:27.660
And I just want to say a few words about the Second Amendment.
01:05:34.060
Came to this country as an illegal alien essentially 34 years ago.
01:05:39.040
And having said that, look, the beauty of this country is not the Constitution.
01:05:44.120
The Constitution could have been written nicer.
01:05:46.580
There are some constitutions in the world that are written nicer.
01:05:50.740
The meaningful part of this Constitution is three branches of government that are co-equal.
01:05:57.300
And the only thing that keeps that going are the amendments of the Constitution.
01:06:02.240
And if Second Amendment falls, they all collapse.
01:06:05.860
Second Amendment is the one that holds up the rest of the amendment.
01:06:09.640
And us that have come from communism and countries where the weapons are outlawed for the common citizenry, we understand this better than anybody else.
01:06:21.320
Because we have seen what happens when federal governments grab power and then appoint another class of people called the elite or the avant-garde of the proletarian class, as Marx called it.
01:06:36.960
And they run the government where those rules don't apply to them.
01:06:49.160
You guys will have no weapons, but I'm going to have armed guards.
01:06:53.020
You guys will have a small carbon footprint and ride a bicycle, but I'm going to have my own airplane.
01:06:59.960
You guys, yeah, you guys will do this, but I will do that.
01:07:03.640
You guys will go into the wars, but I won't send my children to the wars, not because they don't want to go, but I'm so against the wars.
01:07:15.820
So when you have people, I came from Yugoslavia personally and served in the U.S. Army and retired, and I see this every day.
01:07:24.040
I'm going, guys, if you saw what I saw and how communist, elite, socialist ideology that is, how smug, dishonest, deceitful ideology and demagoguery that is, you would, and you know what?
01:07:45.060
And that was way before Obama, but Obama took it to another level in the whole thing.
01:07:56.640
You know, his wife grew up maybe 40 miles away from where I grew up, 40 kilometers actually away.
01:08:02.880
And we are really looking at this going, do not let it go.
01:08:10.560
Don't let a second amendment go, because Reston will go with it.
01:08:13.760
He was put there so the states could protect themselves from the government.
01:08:20.760
And states can't protect themselves from the intrusive government only by having every individual be armed.
01:08:35.000
And that's why I love hearing from people who have come from communist countries, because they understand.
01:08:45.300
And the left doesn't listen to us, because I guess we don't know anything.
01:08:51.400
But they've actually been subjected to all of this nonsense.
01:09:18.920
When you're scrolling through, let's say, oh, I don't know, Facebook, for example.
01:09:22.500
And you see a headline, Hubble just spotted something massive coming out of Uranus.
01:09:27.360
How is it possible that I cannot click on that?
01:09:34.720
You can't see a headline like that and then say, no, I can't click on that.
01:09:42.760
So the Hubble spotted something massive coming out of Uranus.
01:09:59.380
Some sort of massive burst of atmospheric, powerful stuff.
01:10:11.120
Something else I wanted to kind of understand is, how do we lose 33,000 jobs in September,
01:10:24.620
So we have less jobs, but the unemployment rate went down.
01:10:53.820
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who's back on Monday.
01:10:57.060
You can also be listening for my new show, Pat Gray Unleashed, on the Blaze Radio and TV
01:11:05.300
Uh, we've been talking about, uh, obviously the gun control nonsense, which is being hammered
01:11:12.640
again, uh, as it is after every tragedy, because they try to take advantage of, they never let
01:11:22.220
And they're, uh, they're going, they're going through with that again this time, uh, as they
01:11:28.040
Also, the NFL, some, some interesting developments in the Cam Newton story yesterday.
01:11:37.400
I don't even know that that's, it's actually not even the way I took it, but maybe she did,
01:11:42.920
She was describing some of the routes his wide receivers were running and, and said how aggressive
01:11:48.860
And he said it was funny to hear a female talk about routes.
01:11:52.800
Standing up here talking with a female about routes.
01:12:00.680
Everybody's, uh, coming down on, and he, he apologized profusely and it looked like pretty
01:12:06.180
Of course he has to, because he's going to lose, he's lost money from this already.
01:12:10.900
He made, he made $11 million last year in endorsements.
01:12:14.480
And some of that, probably a decent portion of that, probably a 10th of it came from Dan and
01:12:19.000
uh, but the NFL's got some other issues to deal with.
01:12:25.540
How many people, how many of their players are going to take a knee?
01:12:28.600
How many of them are going to, uh, engage in some sort of protest?
01:12:32.420
They're, they're starting to take this into the game situations now too, and do some form
01:12:38.660
of protest after they score touchdowns or, you know, make a sack or, or whatever.
01:12:46.460
The NFL is, I'm almost, I'm almost prepared to just say tough.
01:12:53.300
Monday night football was down 13% from the week before.
01:13:01.560
So yeah, you know, that can't last and make people happy.
01:13:06.480
Also now the NFL players association is kind of teaming up with George Soros, which is not
01:13:17.980
You know, if you, if the fans hate the political nature of the protests, they're really going
01:13:25.260
Tax documents released, uh, show the NFL PA, the national football league players association
01:13:31.760
donated $5,000 to the center for community change action, a group active in anti-Trump resistance
01:13:39.020
bankrolled by a bunch of liberal foundations, including George Soros's open society.
01:13:48.240
A member of course, member of the AFL CIO, the NFL PA also contributed in 2013 and 2015
01:13:58.920
to working America, the AFL CIO's community affiliate, which open secrets said spent a million dollars
01:14:11.240
I think, why do you, you just don't want to go down that road.
01:14:18.460
So it'll be interesting to see how if the, and then the NFL's got the CTE problem to deal
01:14:24.820
with too, because it was, it was discovered that Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of
01:14:32.200
murder and then found innocent while he was, uh, in prison for the other murder, he was found
01:14:40.280
not guilty of a second and third, because I think that was a double murder, right?
01:14:50.840
He was in the stage three of that, uh, concussion disease that changes personalities, makes you
01:14:56.620
more aggressive and, uh, makes people suicidal.
01:15:01.640
111 out of 112 people who have been tested after death have been discovered to have CTE.
01:15:10.680
And really that's, I mean, that's looming big and we don't even have close to all the
01:15:17.000
I mean, from, I mean, you may come out of the womb with that.
01:15:21.840
I mean, seriously with the, yeah, they really don't know for sure.
01:15:26.500
I'm not fighting for the NFL and I'm not fighting for the CTEs.
01:15:28.900
I mean, Aaron Hernandez was a, a, a, a, a lot of his life.
01:15:32.480
So it might not necessarily have been the CTE that caused the issue.
01:15:37.360
I mean, in fact, it probably, it probably wasn't.
01:15:40.100
And, and, and, and it's, and it is interesting how, since we don't know, I mean, anybody
01:15:44.660
that's diagnosed with CTE, it, nobody goes the other way.
01:15:48.680
Nobody becomes, he was so nice before he got it.
01:16:02.100
And then of course the big, the big news of the weekend that everybody's waiting for
01:16:27.760
But they, well, not just like us, because I think this is the worst BYU team of all
01:16:51.520
And in high school, in high school, the numbers are starting to decrease now to the point where
01:16:56.580
some programs are actually dropping the sport because they don't have enough people going
01:17:03.520
The CTE thing is scaring the hell out of parents.
01:17:06.020
And they're like, no, you're not playing football.
01:17:13.560
I was always a believer that, you know, here in Texas, I mean, they start putting kids
01:17:22.760
And, you know, I always figured that you should at least wait until you're, you know, in your
01:17:29.080
How old was Elvis when he started playing football?
01:17:30.680
I wouldn't let him start playing until he was 15.
01:17:49.600
Because in the end, because then he came to me, come on, just let me play football.
01:17:56.180
And then he became a Division I talent, which is pretty cool.
01:18:01.500
We're also talking about, of course, the fallout from the Las Vegas event with all of the talk
01:18:13.240
With the largest of all time, this is going to be a big fight.
01:18:53.380
If you're going to play Cam Newton's apology, you need to play the reporter's apology, the
01:19:05.060
Which is interesting because as soon as she was offended by Cam's comments, everybody
01:19:10.240
started looking for her old Twitter comments, and they happened to find some.
01:19:15.700
If we're going to start being where everything is sacred, then let's go.
01:19:23.940
And so has she actually done a video apology like Cam did?
01:19:47.120
It's tough because, you know, again, they're getting eaten by their own now.
01:19:56.500
Cam Newton is, I think, from my estimation, left of center.
01:20:01.360
And so he got caught up in the problem that was created by the left.
01:20:13.640
And had he actually done something to belittle the reporter?
01:20:31.860
I keep hearing the argument about why do we need to have this weapon or that weapon.
01:20:42.760
I think we own a gun in the house because my wife had bullets somewhere that hit me in the head one time.
01:20:49.720
But when it comes to a constitutional right, if someone wants to own a full automatic and shoot pumpkins in their backyard and they do it safely, why do I have to explain it to you?
01:21:25.980
Well, first of all, it's none of your business.
01:21:27.580
But secondly, let's revisit the reason for the Second Amendment.
01:21:33.200
And if you do that, then you might need it someday.
01:21:37.120
Is the government ever going to become tyrannical?
01:21:43.560
Well, but the founders didn't foresee semi-automatic weapons, Pat.
01:21:48.920
Actually, they probably foresaw a lot more than we think.
01:21:52.140
But they did know technology was going to develop past muskets.
01:22:05.840
And as the government developed new weaponry and took advantage of new technology, so then
01:22:19.920
If you can split an atom in your basement, go ahead and try.
01:22:30.140
So there's no way that you're going to be able to do that.
01:22:31.840
Well, Pat Gray said it was okay for me to split an atom in my basement if I could.
01:22:40.100
But if you can, how would you want to do that in your basement?
01:22:45.080
I mean, it's kind of cool that you have that knowledge.
01:22:53.880
Maybe put that knowledge and that technology to another use, perhaps.
01:23:09.800
It's Pat Gray, Jeffy, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:23:17.280
You know, in addition to the political correct speech that we are now bound to and is so evident
01:23:25.480
in that Cam Newton, and again, I'm not a big Cam Newton defender normally.
01:23:31.700
But, you know, his flippant comment to the female reporter, which is not that big a deal.
01:23:38.620
When is it a big deal, Pat, when someone puts you down in front of other people?
01:23:49.720
Whether women love football or don't love football.
01:23:54.340
You know, had he said something disparaging about her appearance, or they shouldn't make
01:23:59.680
the same money as the male reporters around her, okay, you can understand that.
01:24:04.540
Normally, women are pretty stupid, but you're not.
01:24:12.180
But not only are we dealing with all of that right now, but we got this cultural appropriation
01:24:17.840
thing, which is completely out of control as well.
01:24:20.740
Now, Jeremy Lin, who's Asian American, he's been in the news before because the ESPN reporter
01:24:27.360
a few years ago, you might remember, said that the chink in the armor of his game was,
01:24:33.380
and then went on to describe whatever the problem was with his game.
01:24:37.160
Well, he was talking about the chink in the armor as the expression that something's wrong
01:24:45.200
Not that he was being called a disparaging name for Asian people.
01:24:50.740
So, that same Jeremy Lin now is being accused by former NBA forward, who also played for
01:24:59.220
the New Jersey Nets, but they're the Brooklyn Nets now.
01:25:02.800
Kenyon Martin tore into him in an Instagram video because Lin has decided to wear dreadlocks.
01:25:10.560
He said, here was what he said in his Instagram video.
01:25:23.040
Do I need to remind this damn boy that his last name is Lin?
01:25:30.840
There's no possible way he would have made it on one of our teams with that BS on his head.
01:25:36.500
Somebody need to tell him, like, all right, bro, we get it.
01:25:44.160
So, you can't have a certain hairstyle if it resembles a race that normally...
01:25:55.140
Isn't that kind of racist to say that only blacks can have dreadlocks?
01:26:00.260
I mean, and that's a lot worse than the Cam Newton.
01:26:06.100
I wonder if the yogurt company canceled his deal.
01:26:25.000
Actually, I'm legit grateful for you sharing it.
01:26:29.060
At the end of the day, I appreciate that I have dreads.
01:26:36.100
So, this cultural appropriation nonsense is coming from a black man with Chinese tattoos up and down his arms.
01:26:48.600
He said, but I appreciate the fact that you have Chinese tattoos because I think it's a sign of respect.
01:26:53.760
And I think as minorities, the more we appreciate each other's cultures, the more we influence mainstream society.
01:27:00.260
Thanks for everything you did for the Nets and for Hoops.
01:27:06.760
Is that a classy, smart, fighting response all at the same time?
01:27:23.200
That's why I stopped wearing my hair in dreads a few years ago.
01:27:28.980
Because I, you know, I'm not big on the dreads.
01:27:40.880
I just wanted to touch base a little bit on some of the gun control stuff if we can.
01:27:46.520
So, I live in New York, which we have some pretty strict laws, but we're a small town
01:27:50.180
in New York where I'm at, so pretty much everyone has guns.
01:27:53.000
But my biggest issue with the ignorant people that try and push the issue on gun control
01:27:58.800
when situations like this come up is they refer to everything as a weapon.
01:28:02.180
You know, it's an assault rifle or an assault weapon.
01:28:06.360
You know, it's not a weapon until you use it as such.
01:28:10.080
You know, it's not, if I own a handgun and I never kill anyone, it's not a weapon.
01:28:14.820
It's just a handgun, it's a pistol, it's a shotgun, it's a rifle, whatever you want to
01:28:23.460
If I hit someone over the head with it, is it now an assault bat?
01:28:35.520
They have labeled these rifles, the AR-15s and whatever, assault weapons because it sounds
01:28:50.760
I mean, it's not a weapon unless you use it as such.
01:28:53.360
You know, if you go target shooting, you go deer hunting, well, I guess it could be used
01:28:57.940
But, you know, the term weapon is something to assault somebody.
01:29:01.780
So, when they use these terms, they try to make it look worse than what it is.
01:29:05.340
And really, it's just ignorant people that don't know what they're talking about.
01:29:21.680
I'm just really frustrated with all these people talking about limiting the Second Amendment
01:29:28.780
The right to bear arms shall not be infringed, which means not to limit in any way.
01:29:36.760
The reason I called is I believe when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
01:29:41.460
they said, we understand that we're overthrowing a government because they're oppressive.
01:29:45.940
This is a good point, and I don't want to shortchange you.
01:29:54.900

Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:30:21.420
Still a super desperate situation in Puerto Rico.
01:30:28.440
And I think the reason for that was explained pretty well by the president.
01:30:47.600
And so, I was wondering, well, why can't we get things there?
01:31:07.200
We haven't, we've also haven't mentioned this pro-life GOP congressman, Tim Murphy, from
01:31:11.800
Pennsylvania, who is obviously against abortion, but he's resigning because the news broke.
01:31:32.760
He's like the poster child of what people think.
01:31:41.520
He cheated on his wife and had a girlfriend on the side.
01:31:51.320
With some of the information that's developed between he and his family and his wife, he's
01:32:03.020
I imagine soon he'll be resigning from his marriage.
01:32:05.700
I would guess that that probably comes with that.
01:32:08.060
There may be an issue, you know, because he's had discussions with the family and we've decided
01:32:16.740
I'll bet somebody in that relationship decided to move on.
01:32:20.800
Also, the GOP's push for tax reform, hitting some more snags.
01:32:23.960
What agenda item of the Republicans isn't hitting snags?
01:32:28.600
In fact, they're all slamming into brick walls.
01:32:32.400
So there's never going to be a point when, since we have, you know, since we were told
01:32:37.860
that we needed the House and the Senate and then the White House and we've got them
01:32:41.320
all, but there's never going to be a point when we say, here's our deal, take it.
01:32:55.420
So they've pivoted already to the tax reform because they couldn't get repeal of Obamacare
01:33:00.700
And now they've got the same divisions among the members.
01:33:18.360
You know, and I hate to do the call your congressman thing because we've done that so
01:33:25.640
But maybe this is another one of those occasions where it would come in handy if we put some
01:33:31.460
pressure on them and say, look, we don't want just three percentage points and the tax raise
01:33:37.420
for millions of Americans and a little bit lower or about the same for others, just lower
01:33:45.080
And you don't go into a negotiation saying, I want 3% less.
01:33:49.920
You go into a negotiation saying, I want zero taxes.
01:33:55.600
We're going to repeal the 16th amendment and you start from that vantage point.
01:34:00.620
Then you wind up with a 15% across the board flat tax.
01:34:14.380
Someone in office who told us during the campaign he was a really good negotiator.
01:34:19.280
Well, I mean, he's the same person that told us why Puerto Rico gets.
01:34:24.080
So, and that was important information, important information, an island surrounded by spoons,
01:34:40.040
Hi, we were, I think we were discussing the second amendment with you when last we spoke.
01:34:47.880
Well, my second point was that, you know, the idea was when the founding fathers wrote
01:34:54.360
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, they understood that they had just done, overthrown
01:35:02.440
And at some point, our government might in the future become oppressive.
01:35:06.080
And the populace would need to be able to do the same thing because they derived their
01:35:12.080
You know, if we decide not to consent anymore, we would need to do that.
01:35:16.160
Well, in order to do that, you can't overthrow a government that has M1A1 tanks and missiles
01:35:21.980
with a pistol that can't shoot more than one bullet at a time.
01:35:27.180
It's the first time I've heard anybody other than me think that.
01:35:31.180
I should have the right to own an F-16 if I want, if I can afford it.
01:35:34.420
I should be able to order whatever weapon, whatever arms, the right to bear arms would
01:35:40.860
be, you know, it's talking about the military, it's talking about the militia, it's talking
01:35:47.000
And you should not infringe on the right of the people to own whatever they want.
01:35:53.220
It's really refreshing to hear you guys say that.
01:35:55.240
Yes, and it's because it sounds mean to say it, Carl.
01:35:58.080
It sounds, I guess, too nasty to say that we should have the weaponry we need to defend
01:36:07.300
And the thing is, nobody's going to, if it were illegal to own an F-15, nobody would.
01:36:19.660
If everybody in America had an M1A1 tank in their garage, they wouldn't think about coming
01:36:37.320
It's already assumed we could own one if we wanted to.
01:36:39.940
And by saying that we're preparing for the possibility of.
01:36:51.580
That just means that that's what the original intent was.
01:36:55.620
And I think we can all noodle that out as adults.
01:37:03.800
My comment is, how do you think the left would feel instead of focusing on the Second Amendment,
01:37:10.520
we focused a little bit on the First Amendment and had some common sense biblical morality
01:37:16.400
in school, teaching these kids about right and wrong.
01:37:27.160
I think that's probably an excellent idea to do.
01:37:29.880
And you know, I think Glenn's kind of getting to that point, too, because he's talked about
01:37:33.760
boycotts and things, which is something that's not usually, it's not a condition of the right.
01:37:45.220
So giving them a little bit of their own medicine never hurt a thing.
01:37:55.820
Hey, so I, you know, all this news I hear about North Korea, it seems inconceivable that
01:38:02.080
they could even ever get a missile off the ground.
01:38:03.940
And, you know, our president seems to mock that idea.
01:38:09.000
But I haven't heard a single news outlet pose the question about what if this shooting
01:38:16.660
No, I haven't heard anybody broach up possibility.
01:38:19.220
The Las Vegas Sheriff's Department and the Police Department and the FBI have not told
01:38:28.500
I mean, Kim Jong says he wants to rain down fire on us.
01:39:50.260
I don't have a computer, and you're going with Pat, so I'm going to have to listen and
01:40:20.660
They have to drop him because all the fat women that buy yogurt thinking that they're
01:40:26.680
going to lose weight when they eat six of them at lunch.
01:40:35.360
Because they're going to lose a lot of business.
01:40:43.780
Now, I was brought up in a house with no sports.
01:41:03.560
And he's, the guy that got the first million dollar paycheck, he said,
01:41:33.280
So, no, I'm not offended, but it's all, it's all the, I'm sure not in your place,
01:41:41.600
but look, look at, in, like, different places, and all the women eating the yogurt
01:41:46.780
thinking they're going to lose, you know, 100 pounds.
01:41:57.880
And all that, and they think they're going to lose.
01:42:03.900
Yeah, I'd like to thank you for your call, Ellen, but I don't know if that means that
01:42:26.420
You can hear my new show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, immediately following this show
01:42:47.160
I would just like to say that in light of all of the issues that are going on around
01:42:56.880
the globe, around the world, I would just like to say that I appreciate so greatly the
01:43:09.820
I think it makes the medicine go down a little bit easier.
01:43:19.300
Well, a spoonful of sugar helps with the coffee.
01:43:29.840
I know Glenn was visiting Friendswood after Harvey.
01:43:34.180
Right around the corner from my mother-in-law's home.
01:43:37.800
And the Texas delegation had visited us when they came down.
01:43:49.500
It's probably more of taking a knee than it is.
01:44:08.760
Hope things are drying out there in your neighborhood.
01:44:18.560
Yeah, I'm a 53-year-old male, born and raised in the southeastern United States.
01:44:23.700
I have many guns, concealed carry permit, and all that.
01:44:28.080
But probably two of the most highly debated issues in my lifetime have been either race
01:44:36.680
I was thinking, nobody ever seems to get to a resolution.
01:44:40.260
We all feel real strongly about our opinions and what direction we're coming from.
01:44:44.440
And what would be wrong with having a national televised debate?
01:44:48.060
Let's pick four people, intelligent people, from each side to present the facts and sit
01:44:54.340
there and discuss this and put it on national television.
01:44:58.400
I mean, when you think of how many people tune into that circus of a presidential debate
01:45:03.480
Well, that's the first problem with that is talking about facts, because what happens
01:45:10.580
We'll get on TV and we'll start talking about, we'll hear the lies, and then you'll get bogged
01:45:15.860
down in trying to cover up, well, that's not a fact.
01:45:21.700
The other problem is finding four intelligent people from the left.
01:45:42.500
Glenn is back Monday, which is Columbus Day, so that's the day we celebrate the genocidal
01:45:49.160
On my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, on Monday, we're going to have David Barton in to tell you
01:45:58.480
That'll be at noon Eastern, immediately following the Glenn Beck program.
