Summary
On today's show, Glenn and Jeff discuss the latest mass shooting at a Texas high school, and discuss the possibility that the shooter may not have been a student at the school, but a fellow classmate. They also talk about why we should stop naming suspects in mass shootings.

It's Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. He's on vacation this week.
00:00:31.380
Over the weekend, we learned a little bit more about the murderer in Santa Fe, Texas, at Santa Fe High School.
00:00:44.660
Apparently, the killer was just targeting kids he didn't like.
00:00:52.880
If you'd been mean to him, I guess, if you picked on him, you were a target.
00:00:58.660
And then he apparently spared the lives of people he did like so that his story could be told, which is, you know, it's what we've talked about a lot.
00:01:11.800
I think a lot of this happens because of notoriety.
00:01:21.780
They think somehow that's a good thing when they're spoken of in this way, which is why we don't give the name.
00:01:31.760
David Hogg tweeted out something over the weekend from, you know, the Parkland activist.
00:01:35.860
The first thing I think I've ever agreed with him on, and that's stop naming the killers here.
00:01:48.320
And according to Governor Abbott, I thought he was the reason that he left some of the people that he liked was because he was originally going to kill himself, too, and then couldn't go through with it.
00:02:06.560
And, you know, you can actually speak to him personally about his motives.
00:02:11.500
It's a really sad story about a mom whose daughter was murdered on Friday.
00:02:18.040
Apparently, she believes that this had something to do with her daughter because he was hounding her.
00:02:24.560
This murderer hounded her in the previous months leading up to this to try to go out with him.
00:02:38.320
And she had four months worth of problems from this boy, according to her mom.
00:02:43.240
Kept making advances on her, and she repeatedly told him no.
00:02:47.900
And the mother, Shanna's mother, says she was the first one killed.
00:02:52.320
Now, I don't know if she knows that for certain or she's just guessing, but he opened fire on her, apparently, because she spurned his advances.
00:03:02.760
There's just a problem there, a disconnect there, where kids can, you know, be disappointed or picked on or feel badly, be humiliated, not have a good experience at school.
00:03:17.980
I mean, millions and millions and millions of people have had that experience.
00:03:26.300
But there's some kind of disconnect now where they can actually go to the next level and kill people because of it.
00:03:38.380
I mean, it's absolutely amazing and horrifying at the same time.
00:03:44.820
I don't know that you could make the case, maybe, that, you know, it all began with the, you know, everybody gets a medal.
00:03:54.860
But, I mean, somewhere along the line, they get the justification that someone told me no.
00:04:08.740
And maybe that is because they've been so pampered and babied and we try to take every little thing away from them that might be negative.
00:04:16.580
When, in fact, they should be learning from these negative events so that they can become stronger from it.
00:04:23.300
You know, that's what this life is kind of all about is becoming stronger and learning how to cope and just dealing with things on a daily basis.
00:04:31.560
So, 10 people gone as a result of whatever was going on inside this killer's mind.
00:04:39.660
There will be no death penalty because in Texas, if you're under 18, you can't be charged with, you can't receive the death penalty.
00:04:47.720
So, the most that could happen to him is life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years.
00:04:56.300
You could see this guy released when he's 57 years old.
00:05:01.560
Now, I don't know that they would release him, but that's a ways down the road.
00:05:07.040
But really, really, really tragic and really, really sad.
00:05:11.560
And we still, I mean, the only thing I've seen is kind of the speculation of, and maybe he told the police that that's why he did it,
00:05:20.500
was because he was just targeting kids he didn't like.
00:05:33.280
And when you're this sick that you can exercise the ability to kill people, it's not comprehensible to most of us.
00:05:47.000
No matter what reason they give, it's never going to be enough for the same human beings.
00:06:06.260
I don't know what the solution is because we won't talk about the actual things that are going wrong inside people's minds.
00:06:11.540
We actually won't talk about what's broken in this generation of people.
00:06:16.240
And until we start dealing with that, rather than the gun grab, we're not going to get anywhere with this.
00:06:25.600
Incoming NRA president, Oliver North, says these school shootings are the product of a culture of violence, not the Second Amendment.
00:06:32.980
The problem is that we're trying, we're trying the Dickens to treat the symptom without treating the disease.
00:06:43.320
And the disease in this case isn't the Second Amendment.
00:06:45.940
The disease are the youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence.
00:06:50.480
Nearly all of these perpetrators are male, and they're young teenagers in most cases, and they've come through a culture where violence is commonplace, North said.
00:07:03.980
All we need to do is turn on a TV, go to a movie.
00:07:06.620
If you look at what's happened to the young people, many of these young boys have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten.
00:07:15.740
Now, I'm certainly not a doctor, I'm a Marine, but I can see those kinds of things happening.
00:07:22.540
And, you know, the left gets, they go out of their minds when they hear things like this.
00:07:28.020
Because the only acceptable, the only acceptable solution for them is to take guns out of the hands of Americans.
00:07:36.620
Whereas, more and more now, people, at least on the right, are starting to say, hey, there's some other factors here.
00:07:43.200
Maybe the drugs that they're taking, maybe the games that they play, maybe the movies that they watch.
00:07:52.640
And a desensitizing of these kids to human life.
00:08:03.360
Nobody on the left will even entertain the possibility.
00:08:10.400
And here you have, who was it that said over the weekend that brought into it not just mental health issues.
00:08:18.520
Not just the desensitizing through video games and movies.
00:08:29.540
Now we're telling kids, aren't we, every single day through the Planned Parenthood branch, that, yeah, killing children is fine.
00:08:41.980
We are most definitely telling them that every day.
00:08:45.900
We've created this culture of death and a culture where it is okay to take the life of a human infant clear up to 22, 24, 30 weeks in some cases.
00:08:59.820
And if that's not teaching young people that human life is not worth much, I don't know what is.
00:09:10.980
When you have the death of 60 million babies since 1973, I think that, you know, you've created a mindset where that can't help but factor into it.
00:09:23.660
888-900-3390, or 888-727-BECK, in this particular case.
00:09:32.560
The other number is from my show on the Blaze Radio and Television Network, Pat Unleashed.
00:09:39.820
Also, we've got to tell you about the U.S. and China supposedly calling off the trade war.
00:09:47.160
However, that may, now, it's on again, it's off again, it may be off again.
00:09:54.600
Also, the Pope had some more interesting comments to make over the weekend.
00:10:05.320
I want to make sure that you have the right tone in your voice when you're mentioning the Pope.
00:10:12.100
I'm not sure how devout Catholics feel about it, but to some, this will be very good.
00:10:19.180
It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:11:06.240
Over the weekend, there was a couple of big speeches from Al Gore for one.
00:11:18.400
There's, you know, some profound things they had to say and wisdom to impart to the kids.
00:11:27.020
I had the opportunity to listen to, well, not all of it.
00:11:33.080
I wish I would have been there live, of course.
00:11:35.360
I listened last night when I had the opportunity.
00:11:40.880
And I made it, you know, I made it 19 minutes in.
00:11:48.480
That's seriously, Jeffy, above and beyond the call of duty.
00:12:04.480
I still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird and wild election in American history will help us defend our democracy in the future.
00:12:22.540
Because democracy to them, it's code for socialism.
00:12:27.200
They always call these socialist states, you know, democratic, and they're not.
00:12:37.900
Whether you're right, left, center, Republican, Democrat, independent, vegetarian, whatever.
00:13:03.520
I think it's debatable whether she's okay as a person.
00:13:08.580
There's a number of people that vehemently disagree with that.
00:13:18.260
And in part of the speech, we don't have time to play all of it or the interest to.
00:13:25.680
And at Harvard, she's getting their big prestigious award.
00:13:33.900
And then right off the bat, I mean, almost immediately after that, they announced that
00:13:43.420
And that's given for somebody who has had a transformative impact on society.
00:13:50.540
Now, that may have been, they may have announced that prior to her bashing them at Yale.
00:14:00.800
But that was, you know, look, that was times past.
00:14:03.460
Organizers say she was chosen because she's, quote, a champion for human rights, a skilled
00:14:10.100
legislator, and an advocate of American leadership.
00:14:13.760
Now, I would challenge Harvard to name one piece of legislation.
00:14:20.380
If she's such a skilled legislator, tell me what Hillary Clinton penned.
00:14:30.060
We've seen this question asked of all kinds of Hillary supporters.
00:14:36.580
And, well, she's really good and a defender of women's rights.
00:14:46.100
Yeah, none of that is a reason to vote for her.
00:14:49.600
What has she ever done that has transformed our society?
00:14:59.760
Well, she did destroy the lives of pretty much every woman who spoke out against her husband.
00:15:14.660
But maybe somebody knows some legislation that she has crafted that has transformed our society.
00:15:23.620
Unless Harvard just now hands these out, like, Nobel Prizes.
00:15:27.900
Like a Nobel Peace Prize when you haven't done a single thing and you've been in office for two weeks and you get the award.
00:15:35.340
Isn't it sad that in the case of the Nobel Prize for Peace that Obama won,
00:15:42.680
the Harvard Medal, which Hillary is going to be awarded,
00:15:46.700
you can't even name a single accomplishment for them to be receiving these awards.
00:15:57.900
She was one of 54 co-sponsors on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
00:16:04.480
Oh, they love the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
00:16:17.160
Well, we should because they hammered that all...
00:16:23.080
The other thing about this, with Hillary speaking at Yale and you had John Kerry over the weekend
00:16:33.200
speaking in Dubai, seemed like that was something to do with New York...
00:16:43.820
Because it was NYU who said nobody can record the conversation that Kerry was having with the audience.
00:16:51.740
When is a conservative going to be invited to any major college?
00:17:09.460
Are you telling me that these kids wouldn't benefit from hearing from...
00:17:19.440
I mean, you can't even fathom, you can't even envision a time when Yale or Harvard or Princeton
00:17:27.060
or any Ivy League school or any major school would invite Rush Limbaugh to speak at a commencement.
00:17:37.080
Only Liberty University would invite any of those guys.
00:17:41.760
I can't think of anybody else who would even consider inviting anybody on the right.
00:17:49.580
You know, and let's say it's not a talk show host because that could be controversial.
00:17:53.500
What about a sitting U.S. senator, Ted Cruz, who went to Princeton, who graduated from Princeton and Harvard?
00:18:06.000
You're saying Ted Cruz couldn't impart anything valuable to these kids?
00:18:11.500
Never would they invite Ted Cruz to speak at Harvard's ceremony or Princeton's.
00:18:24.720
Maybe they do and it just doesn't get reported on, but I doubt it that those guys would do, you know, Ted Cruz at the Houston Junior College.
00:18:34.020
I'm going to look into what is the most prestigious college, university that a conservative has ever spoken during a commencement.
00:18:43.920
It'd be interesting to see because, like, I can't think of a single instance, and we've been doing this for a long time.
00:18:51.040
We all get happy when we have guys like Jim Carrey show up and say two words that we like.
00:18:57.780
And then he speaks again and we're like, oh, no, come on.
00:19:08.180
This was the very beginning of Al Gore's speech at Maryland.
00:19:15.240
It has become the kind of occasion where speakers are invited to give personal advice, and I'm not in the habit of doing that.
00:19:27.120
And then I'm going to say a few words about our American democracy.
00:19:35.380
And then you would be surprised if I did not say a few words about the climate crisis.
00:20:39.760
Over the weekend, David Hogg tweeted out something interesting.
00:20:45.360
He said, if we can get over 30,000 comments on this, we can bump stocks.
00:21:12.260
To that, my producer for Pat Gray Unleashed responded in his tweet.
00:21:20.500
Ah, the often overlooked Twitter comment clause of the Constitution.
00:21:25.180
Founding father George Mason insisted on its inclusion.
00:21:35.880
This is why you don't allow 17 and 18-year-olds to make U.S. policy.
00:21:45.380
And for some reason, it's crazy to suggest that.
00:21:48.780
But it's so obvious that how can you do anything but suggest that?
00:22:02.660
He had some other comments on American democracy and, of course, tied in Donald Trump coming up in a few minutes.
00:22:10.040
And it's just, it's agonizing that we have to continually hear from these old relics like Al Gore and Hillary Clinton.
00:22:30.600
The only thing they can think to do is get out and complain about the fact that they don't have the executive office anymore.
00:22:37.440
Well, they got to, I mean, Al doesn't need the money, but Hillary might.
00:22:41.280
Yeah, she's only worth $100 million plus, she and Bill.
00:22:47.580
And who knows how much they scam out of the Clinton Foundation.
00:22:50.680
Yeah, but that's practically nothing now, right?
00:22:54.960
I'm sure it's been, I'm sure it's been impacted.
00:23:02.760
As Secretary of State, she would not do anything illegal.
00:23:15.740
Winona, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
00:23:32.960
When we removed the barrier with Roe v. Wade and said that life in the womb didn't matter.
00:23:47.940
And we have taught generations of children that it doesn't matter.
00:23:57.300
So in the mind and in the heart, sanctity of life is not real.
00:24:13.240
You can't help but send that signal to our youth that life is meaningless.
00:24:19.820
Yeah, you can go ahead and just sweep that mistake out of your body.
00:24:34.380
And how long have we, I mean, we heard that from the president of the United States.
00:24:38.960
I've got two daughters, nine years old and six years old.
00:24:42.700
I'm going to teach them, first of all, about values and morals.
00:24:46.460
Okay, first of all, he's going to teach them about values and morals.
00:25:02.040
So he's going to teach them principles and values.
00:25:04.860
But then I'm going to teach them that those don't really matter.
00:25:09.640
Because if you do make a mistake, there's going to be no consequences from it.
00:25:13.980
We'll just sweep that mistake out of your life as if it was never there.
00:25:24.520
And, you know, force you to carry that to term and maybe give it up for adoption.
00:25:28.240
There's millions and millions of families looking to adopt.
00:25:31.100
But there would be no possible way that his daughters would be able to avoid becoming abortion ready.
00:25:38.800
I don't want to call them pregnant because that would mean that there was a child in there.
00:25:46.320
There would be no possible way that they could do that without actually not doing anything.
00:25:53.400
This can't help but have an impact on the mindset of the human population of this planet.
00:26:00.700
How can you how can you not show them that it's OK to do that 60 million times in the last 45 years and that not impact their lives and their thinking?
00:26:15.860
It's impossible for that not to have an impact.
00:26:19.540
I mean, Oliver North is being ridiculed for saying this, but you're talking about, I don't know, video games and movies and all the the violence that enters our minds on a regular basis.
00:26:30.800
A lot of people will say that doesn't have any impact, but maybe for some it does.
00:26:38.700
And we should definitely stop and consider this.
00:26:49.920
Are you aware also that Time magazine is going out of business?
00:26:58.400
And they're just they're just are they just online or not?
00:27:08.180
But they're pretty much going the way of the dinosaur and Newsweek magazine and all these other magazines.
00:27:15.780
I mean, really, I apologize for having to ask, but that's where we're at now.
00:27:19.940
I mean, if I see them, if they're in the grocery store line.
00:27:28.980
When was the last time you purchased a Time magazine or subscribed to Time magazine?
00:27:45.600
So, you know, and I think the same thing is going to happen to newspapers across the country.
00:27:56.500
The Denver Post is having that problem right now.
00:27:59.980
I mean, they're doing their best to, you know, eliminate as many jobs to stay alive as they can.
00:28:06.040
And I I don't think it's only because of modern technology.
00:28:10.360
I think it also has to do with their editorial comment content with the fact that you can't.
00:28:20.520
The other half of the country doesn't want anything to do with them.
00:28:23.340
Because they're not just reporting news anymore.
00:28:32.480
And I know we've joked around a little bit about the local newspapers that end up in your driveway or your front yard.
00:28:37.320
But those local newspapers are actually making a little bit of a living because they're just reporting on what's happening locally.
00:28:43.260
No opinion and get and selling ads for what's going on, you know, in your local area.
00:28:48.660
So while I know that you just throw it away, Pat.
00:28:52.760
I pick it up directly from the driveway and it goes directly.
00:28:55.440
I don't care about what's happening in your local.
00:28:58.320
No, but I mean, they actually are starting to thrive.
00:29:03.520
There's a school board meeting at 7 o'clock on Thursday night.
00:29:17.260
If you cared about the coupon at the Ace Hardware, maybe, you know.
00:29:20.520
But when people realized that they weren't getting news, they were getting opinion from all of these publications.
00:29:28.020
And it got so bad that the editor of Newsweek actually said this about the left-wing president of the United States.
00:29:35.560
I mean, in a way, Obama's standing above the country, above the world.
00:29:43.620
You know, there's more credibility in that once-a-week newspaper that shows up on my driveway.
00:29:53.060
At least I know there really is a school board meeting in the conference room of the library Thursday at 7.
00:30:05.880
Washington and Beijing supposedly have agreed to abandon the trade war and back off imposing tariffs on each other.
00:30:14.420
So, I don't know if the president is going to admit this or if he's just going to continue his stance that, yeah, we haven't done it yet, but we're going to.
00:30:25.420
The announcement came after high-level talks in the U.S. Capitol followed months of tension.
00:30:30.720
Vice Premier Liu He, who led Chinese negotiators.
00:30:35.100
Yeah, he's one of my favorite Chinese premiers, vice premiers.
00:30:38.640
He said the two sides reached a consensus, will not fight a trade war, and will stop increasing tariffs on each other.
00:30:47.140
He called the agreement a necessity, but added, at the same time, it must be realized that unfreezing the ice cannot be done in a day.
00:30:55.500
Solving the structural problems of the economic and trade relations between the two countries will take time.
00:31:02.720
All those products that you get at Kmart, hopefully they won't be going up in price by about 20% if this trade war is, in fact, off now.
00:31:16.200
More Glenn Beck program coming up with Pat and Jeffy.
00:31:51.600
With Pat and Jeffy today, Glenn's on vacation this week.
00:31:55.880
We were talking about the desensitizing of people to human life and how abortion fits into that.
00:32:04.560
I don't see how it can't fit into that because you can't keep telling people that sweeping a baby out of somebody's womb is okay
00:32:13.460
and not have that make an impact in their thinking.
00:32:17.060
So, this is a pretty interesting story in Virginia.
00:32:20.480
A doctor who slipped an abortion pill into his pregnant girlfriend's tea, just sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday.
00:32:32.140
Brooke Fisk was dating Sikander Imran when the Arlington, Virginia doctor slipped a drug into her tea he knew would cause her to have a miscarriage.
00:32:46.220
You just, you basically got rid of some tissue.
00:32:55.400
It's only tissue inside of her if she believes it is.
00:33:02.460
Could have been a Volkswagen Beetle growing in there.
00:33:12.800
You're going to sentence a guy to three years in prison for removing a shoe?
00:33:18.880
She was 17 weeks pregnant when she went to visit him.
00:33:21.940
And they were going to discuss raising the child.
00:33:31.220
Surprising, though, because with the attitude, again, that the law has toward the fetus, it's unbelievable that you can be sentenced that way.
00:33:45.680
I guess the only problem here is it wasn't her choice.
00:33:50.000
So he was the one he ended up pleading guilty to the fetal homicide.
00:33:55.040
Yeah, he he he was he had his medical license taken from him.
00:34:00.220
And of course, he's going to be spending some time in jail.
00:34:08.840
And it's interesting because oftentimes, even in liberal states, when someone has killed a pregnant woman, they have been charged and convicted of a double homicide.
00:34:23.140
They either that's a baby and we all know it is or it isn't.
00:34:28.620
When are we going to when are we going to make that determination?
00:34:32.260
Some that's I mean, it's critical that we actually.
00:34:38.160
Definitively define that that is a human child inside your body, because obviously it is.
00:34:43.400
And when and any time everyone knows, everyone knows, it's not a piece of broccoli.
00:34:58.960
And we're we're the ones the left always accused is accused of being science deniers.
00:35:13.080
We were talking about the Al Gore speech at Maryland and Hillary's at Yale.
00:35:24.140
There are, I know, a great many supporters, supporters of President Trump in this audience.
00:35:30.320
I do understand that he does understand that as one of his supporters put it on television.
00:35:39.140
He said, the way I look at it, Donald Trump is chemotherapy for America.
00:35:45.200
Well, well, well, in medicine and in science, some experiments are terminated early for ethical reasons.
00:36:02.840
One of his people worked on that for a long time.
00:36:06.140
Speaking of denying science, there is Al Gore talking about terminating the president, the presidency early.
00:36:18.200
And he also, he talked, of course, he said, you know, he teased the climate change talk.
00:36:24.660
It's like taking a walk through the book of Revelation.
00:36:27.560
Did he say that again in this particular speech?
00:36:34.680
More Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy coming up.
00:37:08.840
It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who's on vacation this week at noon Eastern, immediately following this show wrapping up.
00:37:15.860
You can join me on my on my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, blazeradio.com.
00:37:20.320
Also on the iHeartRadio app and, you know, probably shortwave radio somewhere or other.
00:37:35.120
Gas prices have just hit three bucks a gallon on average nationwide.
00:37:43.840
It's starting to look like, I mean, when you fill up the tank and it used to be that, you know, the 25 is now 35.
00:38:01.620
The average price of regular grade gas jumped 10 cents a gallon over the past two weeks to $3 a gallon nationwide on average.
00:38:12.100
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said the price has spiked 41 cents over the last three months.
00:38:20.200
The increase is largely driven, he says, by higher crude oil costs and the phasing in of summer grade gas, which is used to prevent smog.
00:38:30.000
And, of course, in places like California where they've got, what, 82 blends of it or whatever, it really spikes.
00:38:37.840
And in some areas in California, it's over $4.50 a gallon already.
00:38:44.220
Last week, my oldest daughter was on vacation with her family in California, and they had rented an SUV.
00:38:57.200
And so when they went to fill it up, it was $4.69 a gallon.
00:39:10.880
If you had to do that once a week, that's $600 a month.
00:39:20.200
And that's what's so good is when you see all the government officials driving around in eight SUVs.
00:39:34.940
So I don't know how anybody lives in California, quite frankly.
00:39:40.640
If you're not a billionaire, how do you live in California?
00:39:50.800
And then you're paying, you know, a million dollars for a thousand square feet.
00:39:55.460
Well, I mean, you're lucky to get a thousand square feet for a million.
00:40:02.620
I mean, we're going to buy that, but we're going to tear it down and rebuild.
00:40:05.040
I don't even want to tell you, if you live in California, what a million dollars will
00:40:18.920
I guarantee you it's more than a thousand square feet.
00:40:20.420
A million dollar home still looks like a million dollar home.
00:40:28.000
It's ridiculous that if you're just starting in life, you got to leave the state, don't
00:40:35.180
Yeah, I mean, if you're just getting out from under your parents' wing, you got to leave
00:40:40.800
You have to, because where are you going to live?
00:40:45.200
You know, you're just starting out with your barely livable wage, and then you got to fill
00:40:51.340
So it's going to be, let's say you don't even drive an SUV.
00:40:54.440
If you're driving an economy car, it's going to be 50, 60 bucks every time you fill up.
00:41:02.580
And when it breaks into three screwed up states, even better, imagine even better.
00:41:07.860
The goodness that then we'll have four new super liberal communist senators, which would
00:41:15.060
So please, California, break into three pieces because that would that would fix everything.
00:41:22.560
I'd rather see that happen than go into three states and not literally break it off.
00:41:26.880
I don't want to see the state fall off of the continental shelf.
00:41:30.240
I want to become like another Canadian province, however many provinces they have.
00:41:40.160
We'll give the top half to Canada, bottom half to Mexico.
00:41:50.100
That's why Texas is still, you know, it's so great.
00:41:54.020
The cost of living, the mindset of people, the freedom.
00:41:59.100
I mean, yes, we are seeing some erosion of those things, too.
00:42:08.400
Swedish town has announced this week that the mosque in their town will be allowed to feature a call to prayer on Fridays, provided the calls don't exceed 110 decibels or 45 decibels as heard from inside your house.
00:42:27.640
The mosque was kind of a controversial situation with the leader of the Christian Democrats.
00:42:35.760
They're instructing local politicians to vote against it.
00:42:39.220
And the head of one of Sweden's leading Jewish organizations supporting the mosque on the grounds that not allowing the call to prayer would damage integration.
00:42:48.780
Although the decision is now a done deal, the controversy is likely unlikely to die down because this same town.
00:42:57.640
Has twice not allowed the right to ring church bells on the grounds that it would be disturbing to area residents.
00:43:06.480
Sorry, the church bells are disturbing, but you can have the call to prayer.
00:43:22.820
I don't think this is going to be like like a thousand churches ringing bells all at once, but.
00:43:31.500
But the priest said priest at the church said the request to ring church bells was denied in the 1990s and again in the 2000s.
00:43:40.440
And they just have one small bell located inside the church, which the priest said sounds good, but can't be heard from far.
00:43:51.680
How many times have we seen this kind of thing?
00:43:59.060
Now, I don't know if it's just one call to prayer, because doesn't the call to prayer happen seven times a day?
00:44:04.700
They said they're doing it on Friday, so maybe it's just the once.
00:44:08.100
But again, the inequality there of everything that that you that the Islamic community wants seems to be granted.
00:44:20.320
And then the Christians seem to be shut down on a pretty regular basis does seem that way.
00:44:33.720
It does seem like that because the if we don't have the call to prayer, we'll have integration issues.
00:44:45.080
So you have plenty of Christians in there and you don't want any more.
00:44:59.340
Yes, I mean, yes, it only rings once, but still it's way more than enough, way more than enough.
00:45:08.700
In my town growing up, the we had a cathedral that I think on the mean streets of Helena, it was one of three of its kind in the world.
00:45:18.340
And every hour on the hour, it would ring and the bell would sound and it would play.
00:45:24.380
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
00:45:28.520
And then it rings once for one o'clock and twice for two and so on.
00:45:34.840
And I just got used to it as everybody in the town did.
00:45:39.820
Yeah, you just, you know, you just even look there's and you come to kind of like it.
00:45:45.200
And look, you know, you have I mean, we we all obviously grew up in, you know, different times, but churches rang their bells on Sunday.
00:45:57.800
And if, you know, if you have a mosque and they have the call to prayer, then do the call to prayer.
00:46:08.280
So I guess if you discriminate against the right people, it's fine.
00:46:13.620
Don't don't discriminate against the wrong people.
00:46:21.800
Triple eight, 727 Beck, more Pat and Jeffy coming up for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:47:01.240
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who is vacationing this week.
00:47:08.960
We were just talking about the call to prayer in this Swedish town, which has been okay.
00:47:12.980
The Muslim Muslim call to prayer is fine, but they have denied a church ringing their bells twice in the last 20 years.
00:47:33.520
And I think you'll find one is definitely more annoying than the other.
00:47:49.240
And I don't know that it would ring that many times.
00:47:59.240
I mean, depending on what's going on, are you marking time or are you just calling people to church?
00:48:09.800
That seemed to be that they were calling people to church.
00:48:40.500
so there you go just a little sample there for you uh you you tell me um which is which is the
00:48:49.840
more pleasing of the two they're both beautiful they're both they're both beautiful let's say
00:48:57.180
they're both they're equally beautiful that's where i'm at and maybe they should allow both
00:49:02.100
the church bells and the muslim call to prayer in this little swedish town i i don't know but
00:49:08.180
i mean you you commented almost as if as if i mean that's as if i favor one over the other correct
00:49:18.960
that's weird also a christian pastor has confronted a west virginia middle school
00:49:25.040
after his daughter came home with an assignment that asked her seventh grade class to write their
00:49:31.960
submission to allah as their one true god and write that in arabic calligraphy yeah you know
00:49:39.940
jeez i one person complained about this and he's a he's a pastor but they were asked they were asked
00:49:49.280
to practice calligraphy by copying the arabic form of the shahada by hand the shahada is the islamic
00:49:57.480
profession of faith that declares belief in one true god and muhammad being a messenger of god
00:50:02.280
so brielle penkoski a student at mountain ridge middle school gerard's town west virginia
00:50:10.080
uh brought the assignment home showed it to her dad who is a a minister i saw the assignment of writing
00:50:17.080
the shahada in arabic their excuse was calligraphy right of course sure of course it is
00:50:24.300
uh and so he said no that's not happening my daughter is not doing that good now his daughter
00:50:32.340
had told him that if she didn't didn't do the assignment she was going to get a detention slip
00:50:36.320
so she'd have to go to detention if she didn't do it so the dad complains and they said oh no no no
00:50:42.460
that's it's just uh that's optional and you know it wouldn't have been no way it was not optional it
00:50:47.980
would not have been if uh if somebody hadn't complained correct because that you know the kid was
00:50:53.280
genuinely concerned about having to go to detention and it always amazes me how few people are concerned
00:51:00.300
about this stuff with one person one parent complained when you would think that every
00:51:06.820
christian there would be knocking at the door of the principal of this school i was gonna ask yourself
00:51:11.980
would the involvement in your children's education just a tad yeah just a tad i mean we've talked about
00:51:19.980
that a lot you have to know what's going on in your kid's school just a little bit you have to a
00:51:24.400
little bit you have to talk to them about what they're learning because otherwise you're never
00:51:28.440
going to know of all the indoctrination going on in their life i mean we talked about some of the
00:51:33.080
problems with these you know with the mass shooters and uh you know i know it brings you know full circle
00:51:37.940
back to the mass shootings but you know and i i know it's it's an old song of where were the parents
00:51:43.920
but really where were the parents i mean i i just that's my question yeah i mean i i i realize that
00:51:51.040
there are there are plenty of things that happen that go under the radar that parents miss that you
00:51:56.440
couldn't you couldn't see got it understand it but many of these children who cause harm to other
00:52:02.840
people are troubled and you know what tell me you don't know something is wrong with your kid
00:52:09.100
yeah well there's something bothering your child in this particular case the parents claimed he was a
00:52:14.820
quiet sweet boy they were just stunned that this would happen they're confused they didn't
00:52:20.860
had they had no idea right it's hard to believe right and one parent complains about a school project
00:52:29.180
that's why we're in the shape we're in thank you because it's it's going to get worse
00:52:34.900
if we don't stand up for our rights if you are are they doing a a christian project at school where
00:52:43.820
you know you're talking about jesus being the savior you know they're not no way no they're not
00:52:49.280
they're not going to do that for some reason it's okay with everything's okay with islam but if uh
00:52:58.020
if it were to be done by christians it'd be completely shut down separation of church and state
00:53:03.820
everybody'd be screaming top of their lungs right nobody ever does for what it's islam yeah nobody
00:53:12.500
ever does i just don't i don't understand by the way over the weekend um it's amazing but uh
00:53:19.880
in venezuela during at the uh election they just this the sham election they just had maduro won again
00:53:27.100
i was just going to congratulate maduro on his uh nearly 70 percent victory almost 70 percent now
00:53:33.120
there are a couple of factors went into that one uh he controls the election board uh and everybody
00:53:39.320
who counts the votes uh two one of the opposition parties banned the election encouraged their people
00:53:47.380
not to participate well then you're just giving maduro better chance to win right three uh several of
00:53:56.220
the candidates were banned from being in the election so maybe it's not quite so surprising
00:54:03.060
that maduro won another term but here's here's the real reason he won do you know that uh the
00:54:10.800
devaluation of the venezuelan currency is only at 99 right now is that it yeah under him under maduro
00:54:17.620
the venezuelan currency has only dropped 99 in value and the other thing is inflation is completely
00:54:27.540
under control it's just 14 000 this year everything's fine in venezuela 14 000 that's
00:54:35.900
fantastic it couldn't it's not a million percent no it's not it's not a billion percent 15 000 is not
00:54:42.080
no thank you okay thank you and uh i'll tell you another thing my friend socialism works this is
00:54:48.440
america's fault that's what he says okay this is not venezuela's fault right it's not maduro's fault
00:54:54.600
maduro's doing the best he can with what he's got he's doing a great job but it's the american
00:54:59.400
intervention american intervention meddling in the affairs of venezuela that has i mean messed up
00:55:05.840
their economy thank you thank you that's what he ran on i mean it's bad it is it's very very
00:55:12.800
horrific in that country i remember we talked to uh dinesh d'Souza's wife who uh is from venezuela
00:55:19.000
and has family there and she talked uh uh at length about how bad it was in the cities but and this was
00:55:24.080
a long time ago this couple years ago uh talked about how bad it was uh in the cities but where a
00:55:30.240
lot of her family and people that she knew lived in the countries it was still okay yeah that's not
00:55:35.720
the case anymore no it is not it's not people are starving at all nobody a lot of uh people don't
00:55:42.040
have jobs uh and they can't get food they can't get medicine bad they're crossing the border trying
00:55:48.680
to get help medical help what's good is they don't have anything that they could use for income in
00:55:53.420
the world in venezuela i mean in some countries have other than oil other than oil venezuela has oil
00:56:01.400
yeah surprisingly yeah yeah huh venezuela has oil in fact they're an opec oil country huh yeah it's
00:56:08.760
weird uh they should be doing well but again that's our fault that's not socialism's fault it's just
00:56:17.480
if we'd leave them alone they'd be thriving on their socialist system thank you thank you leave them
00:56:24.840
alone and i'm okay with that actually yeah me too glenn beck mercury
00:57:58.140
We should have led with this because it's such a beautiful day.
00:58:02.440
My heart has still not slowed down and beating in my chest for the royal family.
00:58:21.600
But it's just, you know, it's the time difference in London.
00:58:24.500
I probably could have just recorded it and played it back.
00:58:48.860
And it was so nice of Prince Charles to step in and walk her down the aisle.
00:58:55.760
Her dad couldn't make it because he had heart problems and was going to be.
00:59:05.840
But I'm not quite sure if he was actually going to come or not.
00:59:15.120
He was saying they were somewhat of a white trash family.
00:59:24.780
But just from what he said, it sounds like they've got an interesting clan.
00:59:32.600
And I knew this from Stu because he watches Suits.
00:59:47.520
She'll probably say she's going to marry a royal.
00:59:52.340
And now they're reporting that in Touch Magazine is reporting she's pregnant.
01:00:03.240
What I saw with that is that maybe the line was, I can't wait to have children or I can't
01:00:09.580
And they're reading into that that she's pregnant, I think.
01:00:13.620
But even if she is, I mean, they got married on Saturday.
01:00:23.540
So it makes sense that she'd be pregnant now because, yeah, they're eight hours ahead
01:00:32.060
If you missed the coverage, this is the only coverage I've watched because it was great.
01:00:39.120
It's Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon in their character of Cord and Tish.
01:00:49.520
They covered the royal wedding and here's just a little snippet of their coverage.
01:01:33.840
Oh, that is probably a 80 to a hundred, maybe a thousand foot train.
01:01:41.180
Once again, that's the moment we've all been one small kiss for man, one giant kiss for
01:01:51.120
I love that because that's how breathless and ridiculous the coverage is really bad.
01:01:56.740
There were some great fun time memes on the internet throughout the entire wedding, though,
01:02:04.600
And I did actually watch a six minute and 31 second video of the entire, you know, like
01:02:11.940
a recap of the Royals day, you know, from the beginning to showing up at the wedding
01:02:19.460
And during the whole time of that six minutes, I kept, and I know you don't watch Game of
01:02:23.020
Thrones, but I kept thinking that I wanted the Game of Thrones dragon to show up and
01:02:36.340
That's how much love I had for the whole thing.
01:02:38.460
It was interesting to see who all attended George and Amal Clooney.
01:02:44.440
David and Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, James Carden, every progressive, every liberal
01:03:01.540
And he actually, I think Idris was the DJ at the party at the after party.
01:03:14.520
And he's, you know, he's, all the suit stars were there.
01:03:32.180
I saw Oprah post some video of her thanking the people that made her dress
01:03:37.000
because she was so thankful they worked all night long to finish the dress
01:03:45.500
And I thought, man, am I living in a different life?
01:03:59.780
They would have worked through the night for any of us.
01:04:04.400
I love how these people are always screaming about income inequality.
01:04:21.100
Which is what makes it, you know, so hypocritical and ridiculous.
01:04:27.220
And it's interesting because apparently the Trumps were not invited.
01:04:41.880
I don't remember what the exact quote was, but it was just them being nice and not wanting
01:04:51.720
Not wanting to distract from that beautiful day.
01:04:57.980
The royals might be something, but they're not God like Obama.
01:05:00.680
So if he shows up, I mean, he's the one that's taking the news, right?
01:05:19.420
As we see from Prince Charles's babblings all the time on climate change and socialism.
01:06:01.580
And they were all wearing the goofy British hats.
01:06:15.820
How much CO2 was dumped into our atmosphere from people flying over for that stupid wedding?
01:06:22.940
Do you think George Clooney and his wife flew over coach?
01:06:48.240
She took Southwest because you can get two bags on the flight.
01:06:55.480
Then she realized that the dress was the wrong color.
01:06:59.720
And then they worked through the night for her to fix that.
01:07:06.620
Was she there with Stedman or whatever that guy's name is?
01:07:10.400
Every picture I saw of her, she was by herself.
01:07:16.000
The person that was with her probably is the one that ordered the dress the wrong color.
01:07:57.660
It's Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, along with Jeffy.
01:08:02.960
You know, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show.
01:08:07.480
And now, you don't have to be a customer, baby, to use Starbucks bathrooms.
01:08:19.360
On Saturday, they announced that any customer, and really anybody, is welcome to use Starbucks
01:08:26.780
spaces, including restrooms, cafes, patios, regardless of whether they make a purchase.
01:08:37.640
I think every homeless person in Seattle now should go to Starbucks when they have a bathroom
01:08:44.280
You got to go into Starbucks, sit there maybe all day long on the patio.
01:08:54.900
I loved it because when the CEO first made the announcement that they were going that
01:08:58.640
direction, he said, but, you know, we don't want to become a public restroom.
01:09:06.760
Kind of reminds you of, you know, like the restrooms along the highway.
01:09:13.800
There's stuff there for you to buy if you want to.
01:09:16.600
I'm going to go in there all the time when I have to go.
01:09:18.340
I'm going to make it a point to drive by Starbucks every time I have to go.
01:09:37.520
They're going to have homeless people bathing in their sinks.
01:09:53.920
But it's too bad because, you know, once in a while, while I don't frequent Starbucks,
01:10:01.620
And it's nice to be able to go in and sit down and meet with whoever you have to meet
01:10:06.620
with and drink a cup of coffee and relax a little bit.
01:10:14.800
I didn't actually know, but I often figured, hey, we're going here.
01:10:17.780
You purchase a product and then sit down and relax while you enjoy that product.
01:10:41.960
George, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
01:10:46.020
First of all, it's great to hear you back on the air with full energy.
01:10:55.460
The point I wish to make here is with respect to rules and respect for life and things like that, people, and I don't want to say single out liberals in the past, but they rebelled against rules.
01:11:13.000
And now we're calling for a return to some standards, returning to civility, returning to respect for life and things like that.
01:11:22.480
It's going to be hard to get people to respect that going forward.
01:11:26.760
And I'm just not real hopeful of it, even if they want to sit there and get a wall and complain about it.
01:11:37.100
Civility is pretty hard to recapture once you've lost it.
01:11:40.640
And it seems like we pretty much have, definitely.
01:11:45.220
It's also a matter of how do you set the standard?
01:11:50.780
And it's almost like the only time that they call for civility is when some of them in their group are the ones that are on the business end of a gun being shot.
01:12:09.880
And the only time that they have any respect for human life is when they are attacking the U.S. Constitution.
01:12:23.880
That's the only time that human life seems to matter to them because other than that, they're full-on, full-frontal abortion advocates at all times, all day, every day.
01:12:35.100
And then if the president says something about gang members being animals, oh, they're all offended by that.
01:12:53.740
There's a spark of divinity in every person on earth.
01:12:58.280
This was in response to the, where she says that he called all undocumented immigrants animals, when he wasn't.
01:13:06.140
He was calling MS-13 gang members who brutally murder their victims animals.
01:13:12.140
But all of a sudden, she's all about the spark of God in people.
01:13:51.680
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who's on vacation this week.
01:13:58.880
Deadpool 2 finally displaced Avengers as the number one movie in the country.
01:14:05.220
A hundred and twenty five million dollar weekend.
01:14:27.600
Still twenty eight point six million in four weeks, four weeks in.
01:14:30.940
And they're still bringing in that kind of money.
01:14:33.200
It's up to almost six hundred million in North America alone.
01:14:43.600
I have to have to soon because my son has been really mad at me for not taking him yet.
01:15:00.360
I'm not sitting through that thing without food.
01:15:09.340
Jeffy can't get through three hours without food.
01:15:15.900
Listen, I don't I realize it's that much of a shock.
01:15:24.460
Everybody knows there's a sad element to it, though, apparently.
01:15:40.740
Well, you know how many movies they have planned with all these people, 80 billion already.
01:15:48.360
It's never going to end between this year and next year.
01:16:06.060
You know, that guy, whatever he whatever character he is.
01:16:24.220
I mean, I'm willing to sit down and discuss, you know, two or three movie deal.
01:16:32.480
Wow, that's I mean, it's look, I don't want to surprise your cell phone's not ringing
01:16:38.040
If you're willing to, you know, nine years of Bucky, I'm not greedy.
01:16:43.380
But it's interesting when you consider what happened in the movie and what's happening
01:16:58.740
And then I was interested to see that at number 20 over the weekend, 2001 A Space Odyssey was
01:17:09.140
Oh, the the 2018 re-release of 2001 A Space Odyssey.
01:17:15.040
Oh, that's because, yeah, that's because it's the 50 year anniversary of it.
01:17:50.220
Well, I mean, you know, when we're in our 50s, we'll be middle aged.
01:17:56.100
And that's something to look forward to someday.
01:18:02.440
You know, what's the alternative to be in the middle aged being dead?
01:18:09.740
So, you know, look, might as well look forward to it.
01:18:14.280
Speaking of entertainment, there's a lot of revivals of 1980s TV shows coming out.
01:18:30.400
I mean, they don't need originality with the sequels.
01:18:39.060
They're, you know, they're struggling with trying to keep good writers on all the shows
01:18:43.080
and good producers and good directors because you've got Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and everyone
01:18:49.320
Every other network trying to produce their own content.
01:18:53.320
And they all want, you know, everybody wants to have a good, nobody wants to have a crappy
01:19:00.540
If they could come up with good new programming though, I think there's a niche there because
01:19:05.340
Netflix and Amazon seem to only do new content that's basically R-rated.
01:19:17.240
But it would be nice for family people and people who don't watch R-rated movies to see
01:19:21.720
something else, to maybe get new shows that don't have the F word of nudity in them.
01:19:34.460
That wouldn't mind watching something, I don't know, wholesome.
01:19:39.620
Now your next thing you're going to do is tell me you want church bells ringing on Sunday,
01:19:47.500
And I believe there are some networks that are trying to do a little bit of that.
01:19:52.060
Because they're just bringing back the old stuff.
01:20:02.020
They're bringing back Murphy Brown, which I hate.
01:20:17.080
You left-wing Hollywood types are going to take on Fox and Friends?
01:20:21.560
They're bringing back what's-her-face to do that?
01:20:34.820
She's got to be in her mid to late 60s, at least.
01:20:44.540
I mean, I apologize for going to hit an 80 for you, Candace.
01:20:50.360
They're doing a reboot of Magnum PI that does not feature Tom Selleck.
01:20:57.660
They're doing something called The Kids Are Alright, which is supposedly a rip-off of
01:21:18.420
Oh, they can't get Bruce Willis probably at this late date.
01:21:25.440
And plus, what's-her-face does not look the same.
01:21:35.040
Last time I saw her, she was on a promotional tour.
01:22:06.700
Have you known anyone besides Sybil been plagued with that?
01:22:10.340
You'd be laughing on the other side of your face.
01:22:16.700
She was not pleased with my attitude about that.
01:22:23.340
I bet you she wasn't pleased with a lot of radio stations.
01:22:28.160
There's no way you're walking into morning or afternoon shows.
01:22:37.220
And all she wanted to talk about was irritable bowel syndrome.
01:22:39.880
And you're giving me irritable bowel syndrome if you're not going to talk about moonlighting.
01:22:51.960
And I realize anybody with IBS is struggling with it.
01:22:56.980
But if she were to have fun with it, she might spread the word a little bit better.
01:23:06.020
I mean, I realize that perhaps being on tour, she was irritable.
01:23:17.900
More Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:52.240
Pat Gray, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, thanks for joining me here on Glenn's show.
01:24:00.060
Noon Eastern, right after this show wraps up, you can join me on my own show, Pat Gray Unleashed,
01:24:06.740
blazeradio.com, iHeartRadio app, the Blaze Radio and Television Network, 888-727-BECK.
01:24:15.480
Big story today about the religious left, which, is there really any such thing?
01:24:25.940
I mean, you certainly say some of the right things.
01:24:33.300
For instance, this pastor on the left who says,
01:24:44.480
Neither did he ever say that government should handle any of society's problems.
01:24:53.660
He didn't say that governments should raise taxes on their people so that the government
01:25:04.020
Are we supposed to focus on the poor and help them?
01:25:09.460
Never did Jesus say, hey, give your money to the government.
01:25:12.080
Let them squander some of it on turtle tunnels.
01:25:14.540
And then some of it might funnel down to the poor.
01:25:19.760
But what about if you were just to give it to the government and they promised not to
01:25:29.260
When the government takes your money for taxes, that wasn't charity.
01:25:44.240
And so that's where the religious left runs into problems.
01:25:48.600
Uh, it's, uh, it's insane, but there's this huge, uh, movement now, um, to reposition the
01:25:59.400
words of, of Jesus into a left-wing ideology as if Jesus promoted socialism, which he did
01:26:08.380
Um, and it's also, uh, they're also talking about the 60 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers
01:26:17.380
Well, do you know, out of those 60 people, 50 of them were Hamas terrorists?
01:26:27.660
I mean, uh, it's not a bad thing when Israelis kill terrorists.
01:26:35.920
And by the way, we weren't even, I mean, we, we heard the reports of, uh, of, uh, them
01:26:41.020
trying to give the guys the out that were flying kites to burn fields and blow up on top
01:26:47.920
Uh, and they tried to give those guys, Oh, and that, what does that Nazi figure mean to
01:27:04.940
In fact, if you missed that, this is unbelievable.
01:27:06.940
Uh, this guy, the NPR reporter's name is Inskeep.
01:27:12.700
And he's talking to a Palestinian about the, the Nazi kite he's flying and he's trying desperately
01:27:19.360
Now, for all the suffering, some Palestinians have still been moving toward the border fence
01:27:29.680
We've heard scattered gunshots, we presume, from Israeli forces.
01:27:33.800
And we've also encountered Ahmed al-Bordani, who is 19 years old.
01:27:38.400
And when we saw him, was holding a homemade white kite.
01:27:50.640
He said it's designed to float over the Israelis and catch fire.
01:27:54.480
It was decorated with writing claiming Jerusalem for Palestinians and also with swastikas.
01:28:10.600
The Israelis know that people are flying kites with swastikas.
01:28:14.660
They know this and they use it to discredit you.
01:28:24.880
Now, they've discredited themselves, but he's trying desperately to tell the guy, hey,
01:28:29.540
hey, you know, the swastika thing's not a good idea.
01:28:39.320
No, this is the American Indian symbol of goodness.
01:29:13.800
But again, they can't help themselves because that's what they've learned their entire lives.
01:29:20.280
This kid's 19 years old, and he's been taught that his whole life.
01:29:24.200
He's been taught that Jews are evil his entire life.
01:29:31.980
They have it in their children's books in kindergarten.
01:29:35.020
The Jews are made out to be pigs in all of their literature.
01:29:40.620
It's ingrained in them, so they don't think there's anything wrong with it.
01:29:44.620
So this guy trying to help him and trying to help craft his message, he's not going to have anything to do with that.
01:29:57.280
Because he believes everybody feels that way about him.
01:30:01.120
That is one of many views we've heard in the last few days in Gaza, where at least 60 people were killed yesterday in protests.
01:30:10.580
He still tries to gain sympathy for where at least 60 people were killed in protests.
01:30:27.520
The other thought we should burn the fields that feed them food.
01:30:30.060
The other thought we should just blow up everything that comes across.
01:30:35.580
It's unbelievable what the American media is doing here.
01:30:42.800
How is it the Palestinians with this viewpoint?
01:30:49.420
What is the Israelis that we have so much more in common with?
01:30:53.340
It's hard to relate to a people that has elected terrorists, a terrorist organization to lead them, and believes that Israel should be driven into the sea, and has never believed in the two-state solution.
01:31:10.420
Every deal you came to the table with, they said no to.
01:31:16.720
The original deal which gave them a Palestinian state in 1948.
01:31:22.440
But they wouldn't accept it because they wanted it all.
01:31:26.580
And that's why they went to war with Israel in 1948.
01:31:28.920
If they believe, if you believe in dealing with anyone, you know, in the old city, when we went there, it was, you saw examples of the way they think of if you, if you're willing to deal, if you're willing to deal with them and say, they always believe that they'll get more from you if you are willing to deal.
01:31:51.020
Like if I were to pick up this rock and go, hey, how much is this rock?
01:32:07.960
And you see that when you walk through the marketplaces.
01:32:12.180
So it's just like the deals with the two-state solution.
01:32:30.340
And that's why it's so hard to come to a peaceful arrangement with them.
01:32:33.860
Because they don't want Israel to be a part of it.
01:32:43.060
Which is why it's been so refreshing to have Nikki Haley as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
01:32:49.680
And then when the Palestinian babbling started last week in the U.N., she got up and left.
01:32:56.220
When have we seen that before from an American ambassador?
01:34:50.740
Cruz was a victim of Chile's most notorious pedophile priest, Fernando Caradima, who's now 87 years old, was found guilty of sexual abuse by the Vatican in 2011.
01:35:10.940
He, the Pope, told me, Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter.
01:35:16.680
God made you like this and loves you like this, and I don't care.
01:35:27.320
That's a pretty strong statement from the Pope.
01:35:31.620
And it seems to contradict Catholic doctrine, doesn't it?
01:35:38.060
And maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the Catholic Church does believe that gay sex and all sex outside of heterosexual marriage is a sin.
01:35:52.900
So, of course, you're still loved by God, obviously.
01:36:00.660
But to say it doesn't matter, and it's also interesting to say that God made you like this, because then you're accepting the premise that you're born that way.
01:36:14.520
And if you believe that it is a sin, if you believe Scripture, it would be difficult to come to the conclusion that you're born that way.
01:36:27.820
Because then you would have to believe that you were born that way, and then God expects you to deny your natural desires your entire life.
01:36:46.520
And I guess, you know, you could ask it, but that's tough.
01:36:55.420
I don't know if you're born that way or if it's, you know, or if something happens somewhere along the way.
01:37:04.260
But I would think that Catholic doctrine would say you're not born this way.
01:37:08.460
But the Pope is disagreeing with that, apparently.
01:37:10.920
If you're to believe this person and this is how the conversation went.
01:37:19.400
They haven't confirmed it, but they haven't denied it either.
01:37:22.420
It's just another statement by this Pope that is interesting.
01:37:32.680
And it's clearly, you know, a statement from this Pope, again, that, you know, creates a little controversy that goes against what Catholicism has preached for a number of years.
01:37:49.960
And, yeah, I mean, according to this article, and I don't, I mean, it very well could be true.
01:37:58.700
But, I mean, they talk about deep-seated homosexual inclination is, you know, objectively disordered.
01:38:08.900
You know, you're supposed to have a sexual act to the gift of life.
01:38:12.280
And so, if you go down your road of what the Pope said, then you're going against what, you know, that's a big ask.
01:38:26.140
If you're born that way, and then you say it's still a sin, wow.
01:38:32.660
You're asking them to deny what they feel their whole life.
01:38:38.740
Or gave you the predilection to sin, for sure, because, yeah, it doesn't seem like the, I don't know.
01:38:54.380
And so, if he's responsible for all life, and you were brought into this world already a sin.
01:39:06.060
If you're a man, and you believe it's a sin, then in order not to sin, you would have to deny your desires your whole life and go the other way.
01:39:18.640
If you're a man, and you feel like you're gay, and you were born that way, and you didn't want to sin because you believed it was a sin, you would have to fake it your whole life, right?
01:39:34.720
That would be, think of that from our standpoint as heterosexuals.
01:39:40.080
What if that was a sin, but that was your preference.
01:39:49.540
But you were supposed to marry a man, but you didn't want to.
01:39:59.740
So, that's a pretty interesting statement from the Pope.
01:40:03.460
Whichever side of the equation you're on, that's a pretty interesting statement from the Pope.
01:40:09.080
And he has said interesting things before along these lines.
01:40:14.140
In 2013, when he was responding to a reporter's question about the existence of an alleged gay lobby within the Vatican, Pope Francis said,
01:40:24.780
If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?
01:40:30.600
But this is a much stronger statement than that.
01:40:36.920
I mean, the Pope is like next in line to God, right?
01:40:41.720
I mean, that's their, the teaching is, you know, I mean, you have the bishops and the cardinals, the Pope, and then God, right?
01:40:51.780
I mean, we're talking that he's supposed to be next in line.
01:41:01.180
Well, I think he's saying, you know, God is the judge, not man.
01:41:22.280
So, going backwards a little bit, conversation-wise, talking about the whole Hamas and Israel situation,
01:41:29.440
people on the left are feeling bad and sorry for Hamas and making them out to be the victims and good guys.
01:41:36.060
Doesn't it seem ironic that when Trump sort of made similar comments in Charlottesville that, you know, there were bad people on both sides, how the left lost their minds over that?
01:42:06.140
And, I mean, everybody knows what Donald Trump was saying when it came to the MS-13 thing.
01:42:12.880
Because he was asked specifically about gang members who are crossing the border, and it's despicable.
01:42:19.780
It's despicable that they're making that out of it, that he's talking about undocumented immigrants.
01:42:24.920
He's not talking about all illegals who cross the border, and they knew it.
01:42:34.480
There's a spark of divinity in every person on earth, and that we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person.
01:42:44.300
And as we recognize our responsibilities with that spark of divinity within us.
01:42:49.600
And so when the President of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, these aren't people, these are animals.
01:42:58.420
About undocumented immigrants, these aren't people, these are animals.
01:43:05.420
You have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?
01:43:20.820
Every day that you think you've seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane.
01:43:31.340
This from the woman who is so pro-abortion, they don't want any restrictions on abortion at all.
01:43:37.960
What about the spark of divinity in babies growing inside the womb?
01:43:44.080
There's nothing that says, hey, there's human life there?
01:43:49.280
There's a spark of, you know, if the woman wanted it.
01:43:54.400
Wanting to keep the tissue and let it, you know, develop.
01:43:59.180
I mean, you don't know that that's a human being.
01:44:13.200
And from all of these abortion lovers who fight so hard for the ability to just snuff
01:44:27.040
But just calling somebody an animal, that's denying the spark of divinity.
01:44:36.540
And again, they're all clear on the fact that Donald Trump was not saying that all people
01:44:47.940
And I know, you know, our illustrious other leader, Chuck Schumer.
01:44:54.040
When all of our great grandparents came to America, they weren't animals.
01:45:48.940
Appreciate you joining me here on Glenn's show.
01:45:57.420
Join me for my own show, Pat Gray Unleashed, blazeradio.com, and iHeartRadio app.
01:46:04.180
Shortweight radio, I think, somewhere, too, probably.
01:46:08.840
That's noon Eastern, Blaze Radio and TV Network.
01:46:11.580
We were talking about Starbucks and their new policy of allowing non-customers to come
01:46:17.560
There's a story now from Hollywood that everybody's worried about, their customers are worried
01:46:22.840
about Starbucks becoming a homeless encampment.
01:46:41.480
As long as you're not there to harm anyone or anyone, yourself.
01:46:46.400
So, yeah, you can even sit at the tables and not buy anything, right?
01:46:50.680
So, when somebody comes over and asks you if you want anything, I guess you just say,
01:46:56.960
And normally, they don't anyway because you go to the counter and you sit down.
01:47:00.220
And I'd like to say that this will hurt Starbucks business.
01:47:03.220
But every time something like this happens, I still go by the Starbucks.
01:47:06.820
I go by two or three Starbucks on the way to work every day.
01:47:10.860
And there's always lines that are always backed up.
01:47:14.640
So, it's going to take a lot to knock them off the top.
01:47:20.340
Larry Green said, if you go into a business and you just sit there and you don't buy anything,
01:47:24.680
you're taking up space at the table, you could end up having a squatters problem where you
01:47:32.060
I mean, if they're going to do that, they need to limit how long people can stay in there.
01:47:37.600
Won't it be interesting to see how long it takes for them to do that?
01:47:46.100
And then we're going to get kicked out and you're not buying anything.
01:47:55.220
Despite having whatever classes they all had to take on diversity training, there's managers
01:48:01.980
out there that are going to be going that work on commissions that dealing with employees
01:48:07.140
and dealing with other customers that are going to say, okay, you've been here long enough.
01:48:16.120
And we'll see what trouble they get into for that.
01:48:17.900
And I love the, by the way, the Hopsing reference is so, so, so relevant to today.
01:48:52.520
I meant Walmart anyway, but I may have said Kmart inadvertently.
01:48:58.240
We don't have Kmart in Texas, but they still exist.
01:49:03.680
Anyway, the changes at Starbucks were announced last week by the CEO, Howard Schultz.
01:49:09.280
He said, we don't want to become a public bathroom.
01:49:15.660
But we're going to make the right decision 100% of the time and give people the key because
01:49:21.240
we don't want anyone at Starbucks to feel as if we're not giving access to use the bathroom.
01:49:26.460
Wait, they lock the door on the Starbucks restroom?
01:49:33.280
Now, if you have an open door policy and an open restroom policy.
01:49:36.380
Well, they're not going to be able to lock it now, right?
01:49:40.820
You're going to make me ask to use the restroom?
01:49:59.560
We'll see you tomorrow right back here on the Glenn Beck Program.
