The Glenn Beck Program - 'A Royally Good Time' - 5⧸21⧸18

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

00:00:18.340 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:25.020 It's Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. He's on vacation this week.

00:00:28.660 Jeffy is here as well.

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.

00:00:42.200 But not a lot. Not a lot.

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.

00:01:15.720 They want to be famous.

00:01:17.940 They want the publicity.

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.

00:01:30.200 The names at all of this.

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.

00:01:42.260 Stop giving them that sense of notoriety.

00:01:44.580 And many places are, which is good.

00:01:46.680 Yes.

00:01:47.120 Many places are, which is good.

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.

00:02:03.780 Wow.

00:02:04.320 I mean.

00:02:04.840 And that's why he's in custody now.

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.

00:02:31.440 And her daughter kept saying no.

00:02:35.960 Shanna Fisher is her name.

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.

00:03:23.800 Jeffy has that experience in adulthood.

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.

00:03:37.500 Amazing.

00:03:38.380 I mean, it's absolutely amazing and horrifying at the same time.

00:03:42.940 Yeah, it is.

00:03:44.220 It really is.

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.

00:03:53.640 Maybe even before that.

00:03:54.860 But, I mean, somewhere along the line, they get the justification that someone told me no.

00:04:02.920 Yeah, and they can't handle it.

00:04:04.400 They can't handle rejection.

00:04:05.860 They can't handle abuse in this way.

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.

00:05:24.160 But no other justification.

00:05:28.700 And it's really hard to justify.

00:05:29.860 You know, we always want to know the reason.

00:05:32.120 Right.

00:05:32.620 Of course. 0.95

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. 0.95

00:05:46.840 Right.

00:05:47.000 No matter what reason they give, it's never going to be enough for the same human beings.

00:05:54.440 Right.

00:05:54.740 So, it's such a difficult situation.

00:06:00.580 And everybody is demanding answers.

00:06:03.740 Everybody's demanding a solution.

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.

00:06:23.780 It's really unfortunate.

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.

00:06:42.320 It's exactly right.

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. 0.59

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.

00:07:49.060 But a combination of all of those things.

00:07:52.640 And a desensitizing of these kids to human life. 0.92

00:08:01.420 But nobody else wants to hear that.

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.

00:08:22.500 But also brought up Planned Parenthood.

00:08:26.640 Also brought up abortion.

00:08:28.400 And our culture of abortion. 0.86

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.

00:08:40.700 Yes, we are.

00:08:41.980 We are most definitely telling them that every day.

00:08:44.220 How can that not factor into it?

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.

00:09:52.640 So, we'll get into that.

00:09:54.600 Also, the Pope had some more interesting comments to make over the weekend.

00:10:00.220 We'll try to decipher some of that.

00:10:02.220 Good, I bet.

00:10:02.840 Oh, yes.

00:10:03.620 Always good.

00:10:04.260 Good, I bet.

00:10:04.600 Always good with this Pope.

00:10:05.320 I want to make sure that you have the right tone in your voice when you're mentioning the Pope.

00:10:08.740 Yes.

00:10:09.280 Well, to some, this is going to be very good.

00:10:12.100 I'm not sure how devout Catholics feel about it, but to some, this will be very good. 0.51

00:10:15.820 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

00:10:19.180 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:10:23.860 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:10:45.820 Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:10:59.960 In a world gone mad.

00:11:06.240 Over the weekend, there was a couple of big speeches from Al Gore for one.

00:11:11.860 Al Gore spoke at Maryland's commencement.

00:11:14.220 Correct.

00:11:15.200 And Hillary Clinton spoke at Yale.

00:11:17.760 Correct.

00:11:18.400 There's, you know, some profound things they had to say and wisdom to impart to the kids.

00:11:24.600 And I'm glad they were able to do that.

00:11:27.020 I had the opportunity to listen to, well, not all of it.

00:11:31.700 I mean, I listened last night.

00:11:33.080 I wish I would have been there live, of course.

00:11:34.880 Of course.

00:11:35.360 I listened last night when I had the opportunity.

00:11:38.280 To which one?

00:11:39.020 I mean, to Hillary. 1.00

00:11:39.840 Okay.

00:11:40.880 And I made it, you know, I made it 19 minutes in.

00:11:44.620 I mean, that's laudable right there.

00:11:48.480 That's seriously, Jeffy, above and beyond the call of duty.

00:11:51.280 I was like, oh, I got to listen to it here.

00:11:53.100 And Hillary has to say, or she says.

00:11:56.360 That's hard to take.

00:11:57.360 I'm laying there and my wife walks by. 0.64

00:11:58.580 Why are you listening to that?

00:12:01.020 It's just really hard to take.

00:12:02.780 Here's a little bit of what she had to say.

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.

00:12:15.100 Yeah, except we don't have a democracy. 0.57

00:12:17.560 They all hammer that into the ground, though.

00:12:21.880 And you know why?

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.

00:12:35.740 And that's what they're trying to push on us.

00:12:37.900 Whether you're right, left, center, Republican, Democrat, independent, vegetarian, whatever.

00:12:43.640 Vegetarian.

00:12:44.020 Whatever.

00:12:45.300 See, that's so funny.

00:12:47.280 See how nice and friendly she sounds?

00:12:48.680 Oh, she's so funny and friendly.

00:12:50.180 She's just reeling the crowd right in.

00:12:51.580 Oh, yeah.

00:12:51.980 She's one of us.

00:12:52.720 Vegetarians, we all have a stake in that.

00:12:56.080 Get it?

00:12:57.160 Vegetarians, we all have a stake in that?

00:12:59.220 A person, I'm okay.

00:13:00.840 But as an American, I'm concerned.

00:13:03.520 I think it's debatable whether she's okay as a person.

00:13:06.840 I tend to disagree with that.

00:13:08.580 There's a number of people that vehemently disagree with that.

00:13:12.320 You know, so she is at Yale doing this speech.

00:13:18.260 And in part of the speech, we don't have time to play all of it or the interest to.

00:13:22.680 What?

00:13:22.980 She also bad-mouthed Harvard. 1.00

00:13:25.680 And at Harvard, she's getting their big prestigious award.

00:13:30.120 Yeah.

00:13:30.320 I mean, I couldn't believe it.

00:13:31.400 She bashes Harvard. 0.99

00:13:33.900 And then right off the bat, I mean, almost immediately after that, they announced that

00:13:39.020 they're giving her their prestigious award.

00:13:41.760 Harvard medal.

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. 0.97

00:13:55.060 Could be, yes.

00:13:55.900 So they might be a little ticked today.

00:13:58.160 Yes.

00:13:58.960 Like, Hillary, why are you bashing us? 1.00

00:14:00.800 But that was, you know, look, that was times past.

00:14:02.840 That's not today.

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. 1.00

00:14:26.280 I'd love to know.

00:14:28.380 No one can name.

00:14:30.060 We've seen this question asked of all kinds of Hillary supporters.

00:14:33.460 Especially during the election cycle in 2016.

00:14:36.580 And, well, she's really good and a defender of women's rights. 0.98

00:14:41.700 And she's a powerful woman. 0.99

00:14:44.680 And she's the former first.

00:14:46.100 Yeah, none of that is a reason to vote for her.

00:14:48.620 What?

00:14:49.600 What has she ever done that has transformed our society? 0.98

00:14:55.640 Well, she was, um...

00:14:59.760 Well, she did destroy the lives of pretty much every woman who spoke out against her husband. 1.00

00:15:07.040 And then there was...

00:15:07.820 There's that.

00:15:08.900 And there was...

00:15:09.880 Yeah, that's about all I could come up with.

00:15:14.660 But maybe somebody knows some legislation that she has crafted that has transformed our society.

00:15:21.520 I'd love to know.

00:15:23.620 Unless Harvard just now hands these out, like, Nobel Prizes.

00:15:27.120 I'm sure they do.

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.

00:15:34.780 It's just...

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.

00:15:53.240 I will have one.

00:15:54.500 At least a bill that she co-sponsored.

00:15:56.620 Okay.

00:15:57.900 She was one of 54 co-sponsors on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

00:16:02.580 Oh, that's right.

00:16:03.060 The Lilly Ledbetter Act.

00:16:04.480 Oh, they love the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

00:16:07.700 You know they're all about her for that.

00:16:11.020 And she didn't even write it.

00:16:12.280 And I apologize.

00:16:12.900 I apologize for not recalling the...

00:16:15.260 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

00:16:17.160 Well, we should because they hammered that all...

00:16:19.060 Yeah, I know.

00:16:19.640 ...all during the election cycle.

00:16:21.720 It's just agonizing.

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...

00:16:38.880 NYU, New York University.

00:16:42.560 And what are they doing in Dubai?

00:16:43.820 Because it was NYU who said nobody can record the conversation that Kerry was having with the audience.

00:16:50.520 You had Al Gore at Maryland.

00:16:51.740 When is a conservative going to be invited to any major college?

00:16:58.320 What time is it right now?

00:17:00.580 It's the...

00:17:01.740 Never o'clock right now.

00:17:03.900 That's exactly what it's going to happen.

00:17:05.820 That's when it's going to happen.

00:17:07.920 It's never going to happen.

00:17:09.460 Are you telling me that these kids wouldn't benefit from hearing from...

00:17:13.740 I don't know, Glenn?

00:17:15.480 Would they benefit from hearing from Rush?

00:17:18.180 I mean, you know...

00:17:18.960 Can you imagine?

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.

00:17:32.360 To talk about capitalism?

00:17:33.980 Yeah.

00:17:34.260 To talk about the greatness of America?

00:17:37.080 Only Liberty University would invite any of those guys.

00:17:40.540 Yeah.

00:17:40.820 They did invite Glenn.

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?

00:18:02.100 Yeah, he went to Harvard Law, right?

00:18:03.300 Yeah.

00:18:03.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:04.220 Yeah.

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.

00:18:19.140 It would not happen.

00:18:20.920 No way.

00:18:22.220 No way.

00:18:22.940 I mean, it's tough to hear about those guys.

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.

00:18:57.240 Yes.

00:18:57.780 And then he speaks again and we're like, oh, no, come on.

00:19:00.440 Why?

00:19:01.220 You shouldn't have kept going.

00:19:03.620 That was not good.

00:19:05.140 Stop.

00:19:08.180 This was the very beginning of Al Gore's speech at Maryland.

00:19:11.840 This is an occasion.

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.

00:19:23.800 Right.

00:19:24.020 But I'm going to do it anyway.

00:19:26.580 Okay.

00:19:27.120 And then I'm going to say a few words about our American democracy.

00:19:32.520 Again, we don't have an American democracy.

00:19:35.380 And then you would be surprised if I did not say a few words about the climate crisis.

00:19:41.460 And again, there is no climate crisis, so.

00:19:45.380 Wait.

00:19:46.340 Wait.

00:19:47.160 Hold it.

00:19:47.900 Just denied science right there.

00:19:51.880 Glenn.

00:19:52.720 Back.

00:19:53.680 Mercury.

00:19:54.240 Mercury.

00:20:05.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:30.740 With Pat Gray and Jeffy today.

00:20:34.960 Glenn is on vacation.

00:20:36.100 888-727-BECK.

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.

00:20:54.860 We can bump stocks.

00:20:57.480 If, even if you can't vote, you can comment.

00:21:01.680 Congress isn't needed to ban bump stocks.

00:21:05.740 Comments are, it's quick and easy to do.

00:21:11.060 Really?

00:21:12.260 To that, my producer for Pat Gray Unleashed responded in his tweet.

00:21:18.940 He must follow David Hogg.

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.

00:21:29.620 Yes, he did.

00:21:30.580 But it took David Hogg to find it.

00:21:34.800 That's really funny.

00:21:35.880 This is why you don't allow 17 and 18-year-olds to make U.S. policy.

00:21:41.760 That's why.

00:21:42.840 Okay?

00:21:43.200 They don't know what they're talking about.

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?

00:21:54.300 888-727-BECK.

00:22:00.400 We're going to get into the Al Gore comments.

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.

00:22:19.780 You lost, okay?

00:22:22.020 And you lost multiple times.

00:22:23.280 And they keep dragging them out, man.

00:22:24.660 Move on.

00:22:25.720 Move on.

00:22:26.520 They will not move on.

00:22:28.800 I guess they have nothing else to do.

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. 1.00

00:22:41.280 Yeah, she's only worth $100 million plus, she and Bill. 0.99

00:22:45.140 They've made a lot of money.

00:22:46.720 They've made a lot of money.

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?

00:22:53.220 The Clinton Foundation?

00:22:54.960 I'm sure it's been, I'm sure it's been impacted.

00:22:58.020 A lot.

00:22:58.620 Yeah.

00:22:59.240 Yeah.

00:22:59.740 She's not able to fly over.

00:23:01.320 No, never mind.

00:23:02.760 As Secretary of State, she would not do anything illegal.

00:23:05.660 No, of course not.

00:23:07.020 Almost went too far with that analogy.

00:23:08.020 Yeah, you wouldn't even suggest such a thing.

00:23:10.040 I'm glad you stopped yourself, Jeffy.

00:23:11.700 I'm glad you stopped yourself.

00:23:14.080 Let's go to Winona in Texas.

00:23:15.740 Winona, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:23:19.220 Hey.

00:23:20.020 Hi, how are you doing?

00:23:21.100 Good.

00:23:23.800 What's up?

00:23:24.400 I'm thinking about these school shootings.

00:23:26.720 Mm-hmm.

00:23:27.160 And it's not a gun problem.

00:23:30.840 It's a sanctity of life problem.

00:23:32.640 Mm-hmm.

00:23:32.960 When we removed the barrier with Roe v. Wade and said that life in the womb didn't matter. 0.73

00:23:45.180 Yeah, it's meaningless.

00:23:46.080 We removed sanctity of life.

00:23:47.640 Mm-hmm.

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.

00:24:03.260 Yeah, I agree with that.

00:24:06.640 I think that's a contributing factor.

00:24:09.500 Appreciate it.

00:24:09.840 Thanks a lot, Winona.

00:24:11.120 It can't help but be.

00:24:13.240 You can't help but send that signal to our youth that life is meaningless.

00:24:19.280 Okay.

00:24:19.820 Yeah, you can go ahead and just sweep that mistake out of your body.

00:24:23.300 We don't want you to be punished with a baby.

00:24:25.780 Right.

00:24:26.640 I don't want you punished with a STD at 16.

00:24:29.540 No consequences for your actions.

00:24:31.840 No consequences whatsoever.

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.

00:24:48.860 So that's a good thing, right?

00:24:49.960 That's a decent start.

00:24:51.460 But if they make a mistake?

00:24:53.560 If they make a mistake?

00:24:54.760 I mean.

00:24:55.660 I don't want them punished with a baby.

00:24:57.740 Right.

00:24:58.060 You don't want them punished with a baby.

00:24:59.900 I don't want them punished with a baby.

00:25:01.700 I'm going to.

00:25:02.040 So he's going to teach them principles and values.

00:25:04.500 And morals.

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.

00:25:17.340 Well, they'd matter, but.

00:25:19.000 It doesn't matter.

00:25:19.900 Not really.

00:25:20.580 Nobody wants to be punished.

00:25:21.960 We don't want to punish you with a baby.

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. 0.58

00:25:42.700 But it would be becoming abortion ready.

00:25:44.900 Yes.

00:25:45.540 Right.

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?

00:26:11.480 And devalue human life.

00:26:12.980 It's impossible.

00:26:15.860 It's impossible for that not to have an impact.

00:26:18.160 Then you add to it all the other things.

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.

00:26:44.340 Nobody wants to hear that.

00:26:45.980 Nobody wants to hear it.

00:26:47.620 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.

00:26:49.020 E.C.K.

00:26:49.920 Are you aware also that Time magazine is going out of business?

00:26:54.120 It's being sold for parts now, essentially.

00:26:56.640 Time started in 1922.

00:26:58.400 And they're just they're just are they just online or not?

00:27:03.080 We see them in the grocery.

00:27:03.920 No, yeah.

00:27:04.360 They still publish.

00:27:05.700 Yeah, they still publish.

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.

00:27:19.500 Right.

00:27:19.940 I mean, if I see them, if they're in the grocery store line.

00:27:25.260 Like, oh, they're still still being published.

00:27:28.980 When was the last time you purchased a Time magazine or subscribed to Time magazine?

00:27:34.820 I have no idea.

00:27:36.180 I don't know.

00:27:37.640 I wouldn't even consider it now.

00:27:40.240 Wouldn't even think about Time magazine.

00:27:43.300 So that's that's going out the window.

00:27:45.600 So, you know, and I think the same thing is going to happen to newspapers across the country.

00:27:52.740 New York Times eventually will fold up.

00:27:56.500 The Denver Post is having that problem right now.

00:27:58.920 Yeah, they're fighting again.

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.

00:28:16.960 I mean, they only play to half the country.

00:28:19.620 Right.

00:28:20.520 The other half of the country doesn't want anything to do with them.

00:28:23.120 Right.

00:28:23.340 Because they're not just reporting news anymore.

00:28:25.820 They're taking a stand on the issues.

00:28:28.360 And that can't help it.

00:28:30.180 But bring them down.

00:28:31.320 That is actually most.

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.

00:28:52.360 Yes, I do.

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.

00:29:02.480 I don't care a little bit because of that.

00:29:03.520 There's a school board meeting at 7 o'clock on Thursday night.

00:29:09.480 I mean, if you care.

00:29:10.880 In the conference room of the local library.

00:29:13.240 If you care.

00:29:13.720 I don't care.

00:29:15.040 I do not care.

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.

00:29:39.420 He's sort of God.

00:29:40.680 I mean, you've lost all credibility.

00:29:43.620 You know, there's more credibility in that once-a-week newspaper that shows up on my driveway.

00:29:49.120 Yes, absolutely.

00:29:51.740 I mean, come on.

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.

00:29:59.600 Thank you.

00:30:00.520 So.

00:30:03.100 Also, this may be pretty good news.

00:30:05.880 Washington and Beijing supposedly have agreed to abandon the trade war and back off imposing tariffs on each other.

00:30:12.220 That's according to the Chinese state media.

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.

00:31:00.840 So, this will be really good news.

00:31:02.260 Sounds good.

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.

00:31:13.580 888-727-BECK.

00:31:16.200 More Glenn Beck program coming up with Pat and Jeffy.

00:31:21.220 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:31:23.520 Glenn Beck.

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 0.98

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.

00:32:27.960 Think of that.

00:32:29.120 But he'll serve only three years.

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.

00:32:40.760 Here's the interesting part of that.

00:32:44.020 Why is that a crime?

00:32:46.220 You just, you basically got rid of some tissue.

00:32:49.900 Tissue inside of her.

00:32:50.840 Right.

00:32:51.720 I mean, who knew what that was going to be?

00:32:53.840 It wasn't a human being.

00:32:55.400 It's only tissue inside of her if she believes it is.

00:33:01.140 That might have been a clump of broccoli.

00:33:02.460 Could have been a Volkswagen Beetle growing in there.

00:33:07.840 I don't know what that was.

00:33:10.700 It might have been a shoe.

00:33:12.800 You're going to sentence a guy to three years in prison for removing a shoe?

00:33:16.820 Come on.

00:33:17.200 It would not be.

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.

00:33:24.080 And instead, he gave her the abortion pill.

00:33:29.280 Wow, is that despicable.

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.

00:33:49.020 Yeah, got to be right.

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.

00:34:03.240 He claimed depression made him do it.

00:34:06.800 So it is.

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.

00:34:19.020 Well, how do you have it both ways like that?

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.

00:34:49.600 It's not a shoe.

00:34:50.660 None of these things.

00:34:51.380 It's not asparagus.

00:34:52.700 It's not any of that.

00:34:54.200 It's human life.

00:34:54.860 And and you can't deny that fact.

00:34:57.940 You're denying science.

00:34:58.960 And we're we're the ones the left always accused is accused of being science deniers.

00:35:03.580 And yet they deny that very basic science.

00:35:10.660 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.

00:35:13.080 We were talking about the Al Gore speech at Maryland and Hillary's at Yale.

00:35:19.160 Here's a little bit more.

00:35:20.060 So good.

00:35:20.560 Of the Al Gore that we so prepared for you.

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.

00:35:53.360 Oh, my God.

00:35:53.920 He worked on that a long time.

00:36:00.180 He did.

00:36:01.340 Or somebody did.

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.

00:36:16.580 So good.

00:36:17.500 So amazing.

00:36:18.200 And he also, he talked, of course, he said, you know, he teased the climate change talk.

00:36:22.920 But he did talk about every day on the news.

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? 1.00

00:36:31.560 Pathetic. 1.00

00:36:32.820 That is pathetic. 1.00

00:36:34.680 More Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy coming up. 0.99

00:36:42.940 Glenn Beck.

00:36:44.900 Mercury.

00:36:45.340 Mercury.

00:36:48.200 Love.

00:37:03.500 Courage.

00:37:05.240 Truth.

00:37:06.980 Glenn Beck.

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.

00:37:26.140 It's pretty much everywhere.

00:37:27.420 A lot of people love the show.

00:37:29.680 Well, everybody loves the show.

00:37:31.460 A lot of people.

00:37:32.740 A lot of people.

00:37:35.120 Gas prices have just hit three bucks a gallon on average nationwide.

00:37:39.920 It's starting to get painful again.

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.

00:37:51.080 Mm-hmm.

00:37:52.040 35 or 40.

00:37:53.400 Mm-hmm.

00:37:53.900 Or 50.

00:37:54.580 You start thinking, wait a second.

00:37:55.620 What's going on here?

00:37:56.700 If you have a fairly big tank.

00:37:57.980 Yes.

00:37:58.380 It gets painful.

00:37:59.320 Yes, it does.

00:38:00.020 It's like in the $60 range.

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.

00:38:19.340 Yeah, it's going up fast.

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.

00:38:55.000 And so those have big tanks.

00:38:56.440 Yes, they do.

00:38:57.200 And so when they went to fill it up, it was $4.69 a gallon.

00:39:01.680 To fill up the Suburban, it was $150.

00:39:06.060 Ooh, $150.

00:39:06.940 $150.

00:39:09.060 Ah, that's insanity.

00:39:10.880 If you had to do that once a week, that's $600 a month.

00:39:14.640 Yeah, that takes some serious budgeting.

00:39:16.640 Yes, it does.

00:39:16.980 To be able to afford that.

00:39:18.260 Yes, it does. 0.98

00:39:19.400 That's ridiculous. 0.84

00:39:20.200 And that's what's so good is when you see all the government officials driving around in eight SUVs. 0.97

00:39:25.200 Yeah, you love that, right?

00:39:26.240 I do.

00:39:26.960 Yeah.

00:39:27.240 I do.

00:39:27.680 I know that they're using it.

00:39:28.760 You just want to tip your cap to them.

00:39:29.940 They're using it.

00:39:30.200 Say, hey, nice job.

00:39:31.540 That's great.

00:39:32.020 They must be using a different blend.

00:39:34.940 So I don't know how anybody lives in California, quite frankly.

00:39:40.000 I don't know.

00:39:40.640 If you're not a billionaire, how do you live in California?

00:39:42.640 The cost of living is just out of control.

00:39:47.300 Over the top.

00:39:48.700 $469 a gallon for gas.

00:39:50.800 And then you're paying, you know, a million dollars for a thousand square feet.

00:39:54.540 Yeah.

00:39:55.460 Well, I mean, you're lucky to get a thousand square feet for a million.

00:39:58.720 That's unbelievable to me.

00:40:00.780 And that's a tear downer.

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

00:40:09.780 buy you here in Texas.

00:40:11.900 You don't want to know.

00:40:13.500 But it's more than a thousand square feet.

00:40:17.500 I will guarantee you that.

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.

00:40:22.860 Yes.

00:40:23.400 In Texas.

00:40:24.400 Yes, it does.

00:40:25.760 And it should.

00:40:26.680 Yes, it does.

00:40:26.960 It should.

00:40:28.000 It's ridiculous that if you're just starting in life, you got to leave the state, don't

00:40:34.860 you?

00:40:35.180 Yeah, I mean, if you're just getting out from under your parents' wing, you got to leave

00:40:39.720 and go somewhere else.

00:40:40.800 You have to, because where are you going to live?

00:40:42.320 Yeah, there's no other way to go, right?

00:40:43.620 How are you going to afford it?

00:40:45.200 You know, you're just starting out with your barely livable wage, and then you got to fill

00:40:49.860 up your gas tank.

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.

00:40:59.040 Just unaffordable.

00:41:00.120 I don't know how they do it. 0.98

00:41:01.280 That is a screwed up state. 0.98

00:41:02.580 And when it breaks into three screwed up states, even better, imagine even better. 0.98

00:41:07.860 The goodness that then we'll have four new super liberal communist senators, which would 1.00

00:41:13.640 be awesome.

00:41:15.060 So please, California, break into three pieces because that would that would fix everything.

00:41:20.500 What do you think would just break it off?

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.

00:41:35.600 Or Mexico.

00:41:36.880 Right.

00:41:37.260 Or Mexico.

00:41:38.100 Sure.

00:41:38.640 You split it in half.

00:41:40.160 We'll give the top half to Canada, bottom half to Mexico. 0.79

00:41:42.800 We'll call it even.

00:41:43.460 Man, it's it's amazing.

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.

00:42:02.240 We are.

00:42:02.560 But it's not California yet.

00:42:04.220 Thank heaven.

00:42:04.920 Knock on wood.

00:42:05.400 Or for Micah.

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.

00:43:13.300 How many church bells do you need?

00:43:17.480 One church bell and it rings and then.

00:43:21.680 Yeah, but if there's a lot of churches.

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.

00:43:47.800 So the mosque is allowed.

00:43:51.680 How many times have we seen this kind of thing?

00:43:54.480 More, more than over and over and over again.

00:43:56.880 More than we like.

00:43:57.580 No question.

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. 0.99

00:44:20.320 And then the Christians seem to be shut down on a pretty regular basis does seem that way.

00:44:27.860 Yes, it does.

00:44:29.240 And that's very frustrating.

00:44:30.580 And it seems like it does.

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.

00:44:41.840 Oh, oh, OK.

00:44:43.680 OK.

00:44:44.060 But what?

00:44:45.080 So you have plenty of Christians in there and you don't want any more. 1.00

00:44:48.400 You don't want enough.

00:44:49.640 No more Christians coming to town. 1.00

00:44:50.960 We've got our fill of you people. 0.99

00:44:52.960 I am tired of those Christians. 1.00

00:44:57.420 And it seems like time with the bell. 0.80

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.

00:45:32.740 And it happened every hour.

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.

00:45:43.480 At least I did.

00:45:44.440 I liked 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.

00:45:54.480 Yeah.

00:45:54.960 You know, and guess what?

00:45:56.380 That's the way it goes.

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.

00:46:02.360 Yeah.

00:46:02.560 Why is that?

00:46:03.280 I mean, right.

00:46:03.880 Okay.

00:46:04.420 But you can't allow one and not the other.

00:46:06.200 Right.

00:46:06.780 Except in Sweden, you can.

00:46:08.280 So I guess if you discriminate against the right people, it's fine.

00:46:13.200 It's okay.

00:46:13.620 Don't don't discriminate against the wrong people.

00:46:16.220 And that's the way it's trending everywhere.

00:46:19.580 And that's what's so agonizing about it.

00:46:21.800 Triple eight, 727 Beck, more Pat and Jeffy coming up for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:46:29.880 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:46:51.800 Glenn Beck.

00:47:01.240 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who is vacationing this week.

00:47:07.540 Triple eight, 727 Beck.

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.

00:47:21.520 They're too loud. 0.88

00:47:22.480 They're annoying.

00:47:23.460 Let's compare.

00:47:25.560 Because we do have the sound of church bells.

00:47:30.440 Nice.

00:47:31.240 Compared to the call to prayer.

00:47:33.520 And I think you'll find one is definitely more annoying than the other.

00:47:39.760 Here is the Muslim call to prayer.

00:47:44.420 Oh, this is the church bells, obviously.

00:47:48.280 Church bells.

00:47:49.160 Church bells.

00:47:49.240 And I don't know that it would ring that many times.

00:47:56.780 They usually do, though.

00:47:58.140 But they do.

00:47:58.880 Yeah.

00:47:59.240 I mean, depending on what's going on, are you marking time or are you just calling people to church?

00:48:08.780 Right.

00:48:09.800 That seemed to be that they were calling people to church.

00:48:12.700 Yeah.

00:48:12.860 And here's the call to prayer.

00:48:14.600 Pakistan.

00:48:15.140 Pakistan.

00:48:15.620 Pakistan.

00:48:24.020 Pakistan.

00:48:24.700 Pakistan.

00:48:25.600 Pakistan.

00:48:26.520 Pakistan.

00:48:28.360 Pakistan.

00:48:28.480 Pakistan.

00:48:28.860 Pakistan.

00:48:29.240 Pakistan.

00:48:30.120 Pakistan.

00:48:31.180 Pakistan.

00:48:32.140 Pakistan.

00:48:36.380 Pakistan.

00:48:38.120 Pakistan.

00:48:39.040 Pakistan.

00:48:40.160 ...

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 0.99

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 0.82

00:53:03.820 everybody'd be screaming top of their lungs right nobody ever does for what it's islam yeah nobody 1.00

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 0.98

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

00:57:26.280 Every weekday on the Blaze Radio Network,

00:57:30.040 blazeradio.com and the iHeartRadio app

00:57:32.780 and just about every possible app available.

00:57:38.600 Not just about.

00:57:39.580 Every single one.

00:57:40.660 Every one.

00:57:41.100 Yeah.

00:57:41.820 I mean, it's everywhere.

00:57:44.760 Just like Chicken Man.

00:57:46.240 Today at noon Eastern, blazeradio.com,

00:57:49.020 888-727-BECK.

00:57:52.420 Wasn't it an exciting weekend?

00:57:54.920 It's about time.

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.

00:58:08.300 Oh, it was so wonderful.

00:58:09.720 Yes, it was.

00:58:10.420 To see it and to experience it.

00:58:14.020 Well, I didn't.

00:58:15.320 But I heard about it afterward.

00:58:17.320 And I just wish I would have woken up on time.

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.

00:58:26.680 I wish I would have. 0.99

00:58:27.980 Darn it. 0.99

00:58:28.220 It's a little bit different if it's not live. 0.99

00:58:29.900 You don't get to experience it live. 0.99

00:58:31.520 Oh, darn. 0.99

00:58:32.120 I wish I would have done that. 0.99

00:58:32.980 But Harry and Meghan are now married.

00:58:38.660 I know.

00:58:39.240 What a beautiful event.

00:58:40.600 It was a beautiful day.

00:58:42.100 It was gorgeous.

00:58:43.420 It was gorgeous.

00:58:44.700 Her dress was beautiful.

00:58:46.120 Oh, my goodness.

00:58:47.280 The kids.

00:58:47.820 Such a lovely bride.

00:58:48.860 And it was so nice of Prince Charles to step in and walk her down the aisle.

00:58:54.140 Yeah, what was the deal with her dad?

00:58:55.760 Her dad couldn't make it because he had heart problems and was going to be.

00:58:58.520 Oh, really?

00:58:59.060 I mean, that was what they said.

00:59:01.840 Are they estranged or something?

00:59:03.600 Yeah, there was some issue brought up.

00:59:05.700 Some issue.

00:59:05.840 But I'm not quite sure if he was actually going to come or not.

00:59:10.560 And then he had a supposed heart attack.

00:59:13.200 Glenn was talking about this last week. 1.00

00:59:15.120 He was saying they were somewhat of a white trash family. 0.98

00:59:19.020 I mean, I have not looked into any of it. 0.98

00:59:21.680 So I don't even know that much about them.

00:59:24.780 But just from what he said, it sounds like they've got an interesting clan.

00:59:28.800 Oh, good.

00:59:29.540 Yeah, that's fine.

00:59:30.280 Good.

00:59:31.220 And she's an actress. 0.99

00:59:32.600 And I knew this from Stu because he watches Suits.

00:59:34.600 And apparently she's on that show. 0.97

00:59:36.120 Yes, she is.

00:59:37.040 Or was.

00:59:37.920 Is she still on?

00:59:38.740 Yeah, no.

00:59:38.920 Or it's good.

00:59:39.400 Okay.

00:59:39.760 The last season she's on is this one.

00:59:42.800 This last one.

00:59:43.740 Was she killed off?

00:59:44.440 What happened?

00:59:45.060 No, I think she's just going to.

00:59:46.280 I think she's leaving.

00:59:47.520 She'll probably say she's going to marry a royal. 0.98

00:59:49.920 Right.

00:59:50.640 Yeah.

00:59:52.340 And now they're reporting that in Touch Magazine is reporting she's pregnant.

00:59:57.420 Eh, I don't know.

00:59:59.320 It happened fast.

01:00:00.680 I don't know.

01:00:01.120 I think maybe the line was.

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

01:00:07.600 wait to have a baby or something like that. 0.84

01:00:09.580 And they're reading into that that she's pregnant, I think.

01:00:12.600 Okay.

01:00:13.620 But even if she is, I mean, they got married on Saturday.

01:00:16.440 Isn't that wonderful?

01:00:16.880 Isn't that wonderful?

01:00:18.100 Yes.

01:00:18.600 They were married on Saturday.

01:00:19.820 Right.

01:00:20.240 English time.

01:00:21.300 UK time.

01:00:22.160 Right.

01:00:22.460 So they're ahead of us.

01:00:23.540 So it makes sense that she'd be pregnant now because, yeah, they're eight hours ahead 1.00

01:00:27.940 of us.

01:00:27.960 The time frame works.

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.

01:00:55.380 I'm hearing something.

01:00:56.200 Here they come.

01:00:56.940 There they are.

01:00:57.860 They're out.

01:00:58.500 They're out of the church.

01:01:00.240 This is real, folks.

01:01:02.440 These two are not.

01:01:03.800 There's the kiss.

01:01:04.660 They just kissed.

01:01:06.500 Oh, boy.

01:01:08.580 They had just kissed.

01:01:10.340 And that was a lovely, real moment.

01:01:14.360 Oh.

01:01:15.000 Look at the elegance.

01:01:16.680 Oh, she is stunning.

01:01:18.000 Wonderful stuff.

01:01:18.720 She is stunning.

01:01:19.660 And look at Harry.

01:01:20.980 The dress is gorgeous.

01:01:23.100 Badly in love.

01:01:24.640 We saw the kiss at the top of the stairs.

01:01:28.240 It was right there.

01:01:29.980 Oh, look.

01:01:30.940 Right there.

01:01:32.280 Oh, look at that train.

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

01:01:48.240 mankind.

01:01:49.940 Really good. 0.92

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,

01:02:03.260 which was fun.

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

01:02:16.940 and the stars and then the post 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

01:02:26.760 just burn them all.

01:02:28.020 Oh, that's a nice thought. 0.97

01:02:30.120 Thank you.

01:02:30.400 That's beautiful.

01:02:32.160 Thank you.

01:02:32.760 It brought a little tear to my eye.

01:02:34.060 I was so tender and loving.

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.

01:02:43.460 Oh, yeah.

01:02:44.440 David and Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, James Carden, every progressive, every liberal

01:02:51.740 you can think of.

01:02:52.920 Are you forgetting Elton?

01:02:55.920 Oh, Melton John and his husband, David.

01:02:59.720 And Idris Alba was there.

01:03:01.540 And he actually, I think Idris was the DJ at the party at the after party.

01:03:05.760 Who was the DJ?

01:03:09.000 Idris Alba.

01:03:09.820 Oh, really?

01:03:10.400 Yeah.

01:03:10.800 He was there for the wedding.

01:03:11.840 Big actor?

01:03:12.520 Yeah.

01:03:13.080 Okay.

01:03:13.400 Yeah, big time actor.

01:03:14.520 And he's, you know, he's, all the suit stars were there.

01:03:20.260 Oh, I bet they were.

01:03:21.360 They were all there in line, man.

01:03:22.780 You got to get their faces in the crowd there.

01:03:24.440 Is Idris Alba, was he on Suits?

01:03:26.860 No.

01:03:27.340 No, okay.

01:03:27.900 No, no, no.

01:03:28.700 And one of the things, and the Oprah thing.

01:03:31.580 Oh, my gosh.

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

01:03:42.180 because it originally came in a wrong color.

01:03:45.500 And I thought, man, am I living in a different life?

01:03:50.820 Yeah.

01:03:51.580 Am I living in a different life?

01:03:53.120 You know, she's a big income equality person. 1.00

01:03:56.780 Yeah, I know.

01:03:57.300 And they would have treated anybody that way.

01:03:59.780 They would have worked through the night for any of us.

01:04:02.320 You know that.

01:04:03.060 The wrong color.

01:04:04.400 I love how these people are always screaming about income inequality.

01:04:07.440 Oh, my gosh.

01:04:08.000 And then live like royals.

01:04:09.700 All of them.

01:04:10.180 All of them do.

01:04:11.320 And, you know, and look.

01:04:13.740 Good.

01:04:14.420 Right.

01:04:15.040 I don't care.

01:04:15.800 Good for them.

01:04:16.280 I don't care.

01:04:16.800 But they do, supposedly.

01:04:18.860 They sure do.

01:04:19.100 They supposedly do. 1.00

01:04:21.100 Which is what makes it, you know, so hypocritical and ridiculous. 0.98

01:04:25.880 But a lot of stars. 0.96

01:04:27.220 And it's interesting because apparently the Trumps were not invited.

01:04:30.960 And the Obamas were.

01:04:32.800 Now, I don't know that the Obamas attended.

01:04:34.460 They did not.

01:04:35.540 But.

01:04:36.220 No, they did not.

01:04:36.880 Yeah, because they're not on the list here.

01:04:38.440 So.

01:04:38.480 Yeah, they decided not to attend.

01:04:39.900 Do we know why?

01:04:40.660 Did they say why?

01:04:41.380 I was.

01:04:41.880 I don't remember what the exact quote was, but it was just them being nice and not wanting

01:04:48.520 to, you know, cause a stir.

01:04:51.720 Not wanting to distract from that beautiful day.

01:04:55.260 Yeah.

01:04:55.440 Because it was all so beautiful and wondrous.

01:04:57.100 And, you know, look.

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?

01:05:03.420 Well, of course.

01:05:04.100 Yeah.

01:05:04.320 Okay.

01:05:04.940 Probably would have.

01:05:06.160 Probably would have stolen some thunder.

01:05:07.860 Yes, he would have.

01:05:08.720 Because.

01:05:09.300 But he's friends.

01:05:09.760 The media falls all over.

01:05:10.980 They're not going to marry our buds, so. 0.98

01:05:12.580 Are they?

01:05:13.040 Yeah.

01:05:14.620 You know, the royal family is pretty liberal.

01:05:19.140 Oh.

01:05:19.420 As we see from Prince Charles's babblings all the time on climate change and socialism.

01:05:27.380 And the apple has not fallen.

01:05:28.500 Thank heaven he's not an actual ruler.

01:05:30.100 The apple has not fallen far from the tree.

01:05:32.140 No, I'm sure it hasn't.

01:05:33.220 I'm sure.

01:05:34.620 Yeah.

01:05:35.340 It's.

01:05:36.200 But I don't care about the wedding.

01:05:38.100 I don't care about the royals.

01:05:41.620 And I don't know why.

01:05:43.360 I mean, 30 million Americans watched it.

01:05:46.440 I mean.

01:05:47.120 30 million.

01:05:48.120 We had television crews.

01:05:51.520 Actual morning shows.

01:05:53.560 Dress up as royals and show off.

01:05:55.740 And over there recording the wedding.

01:05:57.000 And they were not as good as Will.

01:05:59.200 No, of course not.

01:06:00.360 I'll guarantee you that. 0.89

01:06:01.580 And they were all wearing the goofy British hats. 0.94

01:06:05.740 Agonizing. 0.87

01:06:06.500 Yeah, it was.

01:06:07.240 It was.

01:06:08.280 How much.

01:06:09.840 How much CO2 was put into the.

01:06:13.520 You know, and they're so concerned about it. 1.00

01:06:15.820 How much CO2 was dumped into our atmosphere from people flying over for that stupid wedding? 1.00

01:06:20.940 A lot. 1.00

01:06:21.800 A lot.

01:06:22.500 A lot.

01:06:22.940 Do you think George Clooney and his wife flew over coach?

01:06:26.820 No.

01:06:27.800 No, they didn't.

01:06:28.720 Well, he's got a place in London, right?

01:06:29.960 So maybe he didn't.

01:06:30.640 Does he?

01:06:30.880 Oh, maybe he was already there.

01:06:32.820 Yeah.

01:06:33.160 Yeah.

01:06:33.600 He was already there.

01:06:34.300 And Oprah probably came in early. 0.99

01:06:36.040 Yeah.

01:06:36.320 And Oprah probably flew coach as well. 1.00

01:06:38.020 I mean, you know, Oprah just took Delta in.

01:06:41.280 Or Southwest.

01:06:43.260 Yeah.

01:06:43.900 Yeah.

01:06:44.140 She just hopped to Southwest into London. 0.72

01:06:46.660 You can count on that.

01:06:48.240 She took Southwest because you can get two bags on the flight. 0.98

01:06:50.960 Oh, yeah.

01:06:51.560 You have to have that.

01:06:51.860 No extra money.

01:06:52.660 It doesn't cost you anything extra.

01:06:53.920 So, yeah.

01:06:54.380 And she was hoping that.

01:06:55.480 Then she realized that the dress was the wrong color.

01:06:57.860 And the whole thing went down after that.

01:06:59.720 And then they worked through the night for her to fix that.

01:07:02.640 I know.

01:07:02.940 Which is wonderful.

01:07:03.980 Yeah, it's very nice.

01:07:04.560 She looked beautiful.

01:07:05.960 She did.

01:07:06.620 Was she there with Stedman or whatever that guy's name is?

01:07:08.900 I didn't see.

01:07:09.600 I didn't see any.

01:07:10.400 Every picture I saw of her, she was by herself.

01:07:12.480 Yeah.

01:07:13.700 Very sad.

01:07:14.540 I know.

01:07:15.040 Maybe.

01:07:15.500 I don't know.

01:07:16.000 The person that was with her probably is the one that ordered the dress the wrong color.

01:07:19.280 So, he kicked her out.

01:07:20.180 All right.

01:07:22.140 888-727-BECK.

01:07:24.900 More Glenn Beck with Baton Jeffy coming up.

01:07:28.200 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:07:30.440 Glenn Beck.

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.

01:08:13.580 Is that the new Starbucks ad?

01:08:14.900 I love it.

01:08:15.480 It should be.

01:08:16.200 It should be.

01:08:16.720 I give that to them for free.

01:08:18.180 If they want to use that, go ahead.

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.

01:08:35.020 How wonderful.

01:08:35.880 Isn't that good?

01:08:36.820 That's great.

01:08:37.640 I think every homeless person in Seattle now should go to Starbucks when they have a bathroom

01:08:43.860 break.

01:08:44.280 You got to go into Starbucks, sit there maybe all day long on the patio.

01:08:49.640 Seattle.

01:08:50.140 Enjoy the scenery.

01:08:51.240 Don't buy a single thing.

01:08:52.300 Don't buy a thing.

01:08:53.040 Don't buy a thing.

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.

01:09:02.580 Well, it's too late for that, my friend.

01:09:03.940 Too late for that, isn't it?

01:09:04.500 Yeah.

01:09:04.980 Because you are.

01:09:05.860 Yeah.

01:09:06.380 Yeah.

01:09:06.760 Kind of reminds you of, you know, like the restrooms along the highway.

01:09:10.940 Uh-huh.

01:09:11.640 You know, just stop in.

01:09:12.520 You don't have to buy anything.

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.

01:09:21.800 Can I help you, sir?

01:09:22.900 Nope.

01:09:23.300 No, thanks.

01:09:23.740 Just here to use your restroom.

01:09:26.100 Oh, okay.

01:09:28.220 Me and my whole family.

01:09:29.340 I brought the family.

01:09:30.820 There's only one restroom.

01:09:32.140 It's a long line.

01:09:33.240 We'll wait.

01:09:34.760 Just clog that whole store up, man.

01:09:37.160 Yep.

01:09:37.520 They're going to have homeless people bathing in their sinks. 1.00

01:09:39.880 I hope they do.

01:09:41.040 I hope they do because they deserve it. 0.99

01:09:42.720 This is just ridiculous. 1.00

01:09:45.340 The Starbucks mentality is just ridiculous. 1.00

01:09:47.480 Well, yeah. 0.99

01:09:47.800 I mean, look, they're reaping what they sell.

01:09:49.780 Exactly.

01:09:50.280 They most definitely are.

01:09:52.020 And, you know, good.

01:09:53.920 But it's too bad because, you know, once in a while, while I don't frequent Starbucks,

01:09:58.220 you know, I do go every once in a while.

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.

01:10:09.500 Sure.

01:10:09.920 And, you know, it's.

01:10:12.220 I often figured I didn't.

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.

01:10:22.260 Yeah.

01:10:22.480 Well, that's old think.

01:10:23.820 That's capitalist think.

01:10:25.300 No, you can't.

01:10:26.300 I mean, that's it's elitist nonsense. 0.91

01:10:28.660 What you just spewed there.

01:10:31.020 I apologize.

01:10:32.280 You should be ashamed of yourself.

01:10:32.600 I am, but I am now.

01:10:34.140 I shouldn't have even said it.

01:10:35.560 No, you should not have.

01:10:37.540 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B-E-C-K.

01:10:40.480 Let's go to George in Pennsylvania.

01:10:41.960 George, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:10:44.480 Hi.

01:10:44.740 Hey, good morning, Pat.

01:10:46.020 First of all, it's great to hear you back on the air with full energy.

01:10:48.880 And it's even good to hear Jeffy occasionally.

01:10:52.140 I think thanks.

01:10:54.540 Thanks.

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.

01:11:10.600 They don't like standards being set for them.

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.

01:11:20.020 And that's going to be a hard sell.

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.

01:11:33.040 Yeah, it's hard to imagine.

01:11:34.760 We're going to go back to that.

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.

01:11:44.440 That's for sure.

01:11:45.220 It's also a matter of how do you set the standard?

01:11:48.300 How do you get people to agree?

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.

01:12:03.260 That's exactly right.

01:12:04.280 Yes, that is correct.

01:12:05.100 Appreciate it.

01:12:06.440 Thanks a lot, George.

01:12:07.880 Exactly right.

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.

01:12:42.540 Wait a minute.

01:12:43.060 Everybody's got the spark of God in them.

01:12:45.800 Oh, really?

01:12:47.240 Since when do you believe that?

01:12:49.360 What?

01:12:49.620 Like Nancy Pelosi's comments last week.

01:12:52.260 We're all God's children.

01:12:53.740 There's a spark of divinity in every person on earth.

01:12:57.520 Can you believe that?

01:12:58.280 This was in response to the, where she says that he called all undocumented immigrants animals, when he wasn't. 0.91

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.

01:13:15.820 Oh, okay.

01:13:17.180 Thank you, Nancy.

01:13:18.480 That's right.

01:13:19.180 Your favorite word is the word.

01:13:22.180 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:13:45.520 Love.

01:13:46.720 Courage.

01:13:48.440 Truth.

01:13:50.160 Glenn Beck.

01:13:51.680 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn, who's on vacation this week.

01:13:54.820 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck.

01:13:57.020 Weekend box office.

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.

01:14:08.260 That's pretty good.

01:14:08.940 That's domestic.

01:14:09.840 Yes.

01:14:10.240 Just just in America.

01:14:11.600 I mean, they did Canada.

01:14:12.780 Yeah.

01:14:12.940 I mean, they did 176 international.

01:14:15.220 Did they?

01:14:15.840 And they haven't opened in China yet.

01:14:18.120 Wow.

01:14:18.400 So that's going to be huge.

01:14:20.860 Monster.

01:14:21.680 He's funny, though.

01:14:22.800 Yes.

01:14:24.080 But still, that's Avengers was number two.

01:14:26.860 Twenty eight.

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.

01:14:39.100 I finally saw that over the weekend.

01:14:40.540 Oh, you did?

01:14:41.000 Yeah.

01:14:41.360 It's it's it's good.

01:14:42.860 I keep having.

01:14:43.600 I have to have to soon because my son has been really mad at me for not taking him yet.

01:14:48.380 But I don't know.

01:14:50.800 I'm not looking forward to it.

01:14:52.600 Really?

01:14:52.920 Almost three hours.

01:14:54.260 Yeah.

01:14:54.520 It's long.

01:14:54.880 Oh, it's long.

01:14:56.160 Yeah, it's long.

01:14:56.840 And to me, we're going to the food one.

01:15:00.360 I'm not sitting through that thing without food.

01:15:03.340 What a surprise.

01:15:04.460 Wait.

01:15:04.800 I know.

01:15:05.400 I know.

01:15:05.840 Normally I go.

01:15:06.840 Let me see if I can process that.

01:15:09.340 Jeffy can't get through three hours without food.

01:15:12.300 Oh, there is no way.

01:15:14.820 What?

01:15:15.360 I know.

01:15:15.900 Listen, I don't I realize it's that much of a shock.

01:15:19.360 I got it.

01:15:19.640 Yeah, that blew me away.

01:15:20.760 Wow.

01:15:23.220 I liked it.

01:15:24.460 Everybody knows there's a sad element to it, though, apparently.

01:15:28.780 And oh, no, everyone doesn't.

01:15:30.700 Thanks.

01:15:31.120 Thanks.

01:15:31.280 Everybody knows there's a sad element.

01:15:32.840 Oh, man.

01:15:33.560 Thank you.

01:15:34.540 But it's a sham sad element.

01:15:37.180 It is.

01:15:37.860 I think.

01:15:38.180 Oh, gosh.

01:15:39.020 Come on.

01:15:39.460 You know, it is.

01:15:40.200 Come on.

01:15:40.740 Well, you know how many movies they have planned with all these people, 80 billion already.

01:15:45.920 I mean, it's yeah, 14 more.

01:15:48.360 It's never going to end between this year and next year.

01:15:51.520 14 more between that.

01:15:53.820 And then you've got the Star Wars sagas.

01:15:56.000 The one guy opens this week.

01:15:57.500 Right.

01:15:57.940 Yeah.

01:15:58.180 So, I mean, the one guy alone.

01:16:01.820 What's what's his name?

01:16:02.840 Bucky, who is Captain America's friend.

01:16:06.060 You know, that guy, whatever he whatever character he is.

01:16:09.720 And I think his name is Bucky.

01:16:12.160 He they just signed him.

01:16:14.280 Marvel signed him to a nine movie deal.

01:16:18.840 So do the math on the ending.

01:16:21.260 I just like to say, Marvel, listen.

01:16:23.040 Yeah.

01:16:24.220 I mean, I'm willing to sit down and discuss, you know, two or three movie deal.

01:16:29.380 You know, are you?

01:16:30.940 Are you willing to say I'm willing to sit out?

01:16:32.480 Wow, that's I mean, it's look, I don't want to surprise your cell phone's not ringing

01:16:36.920 already from Marvel.

01:16:38.040 If you're willing to, you know, nine years of Bucky, I'm not greedy.

01:16:42.660 That's amazing.

01:16:43.380 But it's interesting when you consider what happened in the movie and what's happening

01:16:47.640 with with sequels.

01:16:49.160 You know, it doesn't really add up.

01:16:51.480 But still, it will find a way to add it.

01:16:54.480 Yes, they will.

01:16:56.160 And so I bet it was enjoyable.

01:16:58.740 And then I was interested to see that at number 20 over the weekend, 2001 A Space Odyssey was

01:17:05.500 re-released.

01:17:06.260 I didn't even know that.

01:17:07.800 You seen that come to theaters?

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.

01:17:20.600 I'll bet.

01:17:21.740 Wasn't that released in 1968?

01:17:24.220 A Space Odyssey probably was.

01:17:25.880 It's been 50 years since that came out.

01:17:31.080 Wow.

01:17:32.300 My grandfather told me about that movie.

01:17:34.860 Mine too.

01:17:35.700 Yeah, 1968.

01:17:36.820 April 3rd, 1968.

01:17:38.640 There you go.

01:17:39.200 It's the 50 year anniversary.

01:17:41.300 Wow.

01:17:42.040 Wow.

01:17:42.520 That's incredible.

01:17:44.200 1968.

01:17:44.600 It's incredible.

01:17:45.640 Wish I was born then.

01:17:48.140 1968.

01:17:49.660 Yeah.

01:17:50.220 Well, I mean, you know, when we're in our 50s, we'll be middle aged.

01:17:55.400 Thank you.

01:17:56.100 And that's something to look forward to someday.

01:18:00.880 Yeah, someday.

01:18:02.140 Yeah.

01:18:02.440 You know, what's the alternative to be in the middle aged being dead?

01:18:06.640 That's the only alternative.

01:18:07.780 And I don't like that alternative.

01:18:09.740 So, you know, look, might as well look forward to it.

01:18:13.000 You have to.

01:18:14.280 Speaking of entertainment, there's a lot of revivals of 1980s TV shows coming out.

01:18:22.460 Have you noticed that?

01:18:23.820 There's just no originality anymore.

01:18:26.840 That's been long gone.

01:18:27.760 None.

01:18:28.220 That's been long gone.

01:18:28.800 That's the creation of the sequels too, right?

01:18:30.400 I mean, they don't need originality with the sequels.

01:18:32.500 Right.

01:18:32.760 Just keep cranking out the same story then.

01:18:35.380 And TV is the same way.

01:18:37.220 I mean, they're hurting as well.

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

01:18:48.500 else.

01:18:49.180 Yeah.

01:18:49.320 Every other network trying to produce their own content.

01:18:53.200 Yeah.

01:18:53.320 And they all want, you know, everybody wants to have a good, nobody wants to have a crappy

01:18:56.900 show.

01:18:57.300 So, I mean, it's tough these days.

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.

01:19:13.240 I hate that.

01:19:15.880 I know.

01:19:16.260 I know you're fine with it.

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. 0.98

01:19:29.380 There is a small fragment of society, Jeffy.

01:19:32.280 This would stun you.

01:19:34.460 That wouldn't mind watching something, I don't know, wholesome.

01:19:38.700 Oh, that's right.

01:19:39.620 Now your next thing you're going to do is tell me you want church bells ringing on Sunday,

01:19:42.560 okay?

01:19:43.720 Oh, no.

01:19:44.080 That would offend way too many people.

01:19:45.920 Way too many people.

01:19:46.100 I don't disagree with that.

01:19:47.500 And I believe there are some networks that are trying to do a little bit of that.

01:19:50.640 Well, I don't know.

01:19:51.680 Are they?

01:19:52.060 Because they're just bringing back the old stuff.

01:19:54.580 Well.

01:19:55.640 Roseanne.

01:19:56.380 Roseanne's been great.

01:19:57.900 Has it?

01:19:58.380 Are you watching it?

01:19:59.220 Yeah.

01:19:59.420 It's been really good.

01:19:59.900 You like it?

01:20:00.360 Yeah.

01:20:00.800 Yeah.

01:20:02.020 They're bringing back Murphy Brown, which I hate.

01:20:06.700 Oh, she's agonizing.

01:20:07.880 She's going to take on Fox and Friends. 0.83

01:20:10.420 Is she?

01:20:10.740 Oh, good.

01:20:11.240 What a brave, brave thing to do.

01:20:16.080 Really?

01:20:17.080 You left-wing Hollywood types are going to take on Fox and Friends? 1.00

01:20:20.540 No kidding.

01:20:21.560 They're bringing back what's-her-face to do that? 0.83

01:20:23.760 Candace Bergen?

01:20:24.300 Yeah.

01:20:25.260 Yeah.

01:20:25.700 I mean, okay, she's got to be 80.

01:20:30.000 If she's a day.

01:20:31.040 Come on.

01:20:32.640 I don't think she is 80.

01:20:34.260 There's no way.

01:20:34.820 She's got to be in her mid to late 60s, at least.

01:20:39.040 Oh.

01:20:39.900 Oh, she's 72.

01:20:42.080 You weren't that far off.

01:20:43.440 No kidding.

01:20:44.540 I mean, I apologize for going to hit an 80 for you, Candace.

01:20:47.860 I apologize.

01:20:48.680 But-

01:20:48.800 That's amazing.

01:20:49.360 I mean-

01:20:50.360 They're doing a reboot of Magnum PI that does not feature Tom Selleck.

01:20:56.340 That's a shame.

01:20:57.660 They're doing something called The Kids Are Alright, which is supposedly a rip-off of

01:21:03.520 The Wonder Years.

01:21:05.280 Oh, yeah.

01:21:06.180 CW has rebooted Dynasty.

01:21:09.380 They're already doing that.

01:21:10.760 Wow.

01:21:11.880 Ah, it's amazing.

01:21:13.220 There's just nothing new.

01:21:15.060 Might as well bring back Moonlighting.

01:21:17.160 They done that yet?

01:21:18.420 Oh, they can't get Bruce Willis probably at this late date.

01:21:20.540 I know.

01:21:20.960 He's not going to do it.

01:21:21.960 Otherwise, I'll bet they would.

01:21:23.320 I bet they would, too.

01:21:24.540 I'll bet they would.

01:21:25.440 And plus, what's-her-face does not look the same.

01:21:29.380 Just as a side note.

01:21:30.780 Yeah, what was her name?

01:21:33.440 Shepard.

01:21:33.960 Sybil Shepard.

01:21:35.040 Last time I saw her, she was on a promotional tour.

01:21:38.460 She came into the studio in Houston.

01:21:39.900 I was in Houston doing mornings.

01:21:44.120 And I think I was still at KPRC in Houston.

01:21:47.460 And she was doing a promotion.

01:21:51.480 And I thought, oh, well, cool.

01:21:52.800 Let's have her come in and talk. 1.00

01:21:54.320 She wanted to.

01:21:55.040 Sybil Shepard, right?

01:21:55.880 You know what the promotion was?

01:21:57.320 It wasn't a book.

01:21:58.140 It wasn't a movie.

01:21:59.080 It wasn't a TV show.

01:22:00.260 Hair color.

01:22:01.160 It wasn't hair color.

01:22:02.580 No.

01:22:02.860 No?

01:22:03.200 Mm-mm.

01:22:04.420 Irritable bowel syndrome.

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.

01:22:12.520 That's what she said.

01:22:16.700 She was not pleased with my attitude about that.

01:22:20.020 I bet.

01:22:20.420 I bet.

01:22:21.120 And, you know.

01:22:23.340 I bet you she wasn't pleased with a lot of radio stations.

01:22:27.460 No, I bet.

01:22:28.160 There's no way you're walking into morning or afternoon shows.

01:22:31.780 You don't want to talk about that.

01:22:32.080 Come on.

01:22:32.580 You want to talk about moonlighting or.

01:22:34.140 Yes.

01:22:34.840 You know, the last picture show or whatever.

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.

01:22:42.880 I'll tell you that right now, Sybil.

01:22:44.120 Okay?

01:22:44.400 So welcome to the show.

01:22:45.680 Exactly.

01:22:46.200 Come on.

01:22:46.620 But she was nasty about it. 0.98

01:22:48.540 She just wouldn't have fun.

01:22:49.960 She would not have any fun.

01:22:51.000 See?

01:22:51.300 Yeah.

01:22:51.960 And I realize anybody with IBS is struggling with it.

01:22:56.540 I know.

01:22:56.980 But if she were to have fun with it, she might spread the word a little bit better.

01:23:00.780 A little bit wider.

01:23:01.840 Right.

01:23:03.040 Than driving it home.

01:23:04.780 But she was not.

01:23:06.020 I mean, I realize that perhaps being on tour, she was irritable.

01:23:09.440 Yeah.

01:23:09.900 So.

01:23:10.560 Yeah.

01:23:10.920 And she was.

01:23:11.940 More than just her bowels. 0.99

01:23:13.280 She herself was irritable.

01:23:15.280 888-727-BECK.

01:23:17.900 More Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:21.300 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:23:24.380 Glenn Beck.

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?

01:24:21.700 Are you religious if you're on the left?

01:24:25.940 I mean, you certainly say some of the right things.

01:24:30.020 I don't necessarily know that you believe it.

01:24:33.300 For instance, this pastor on the left who says,

01:24:36.060 Jesus never charged a leper a copay. 0.98

01:24:40.200 Oh, good God.

01:24:41.300 Oh, my gosh.

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

01:24:59.520 can redistribute wealth to the poor.

01:25:03.300 No.

01:25:04.020 Are we supposed to focus on the poor and help them?

01:25:06.260 You bet.

01:25:06.560 Yes.

01:25:07.020 But it's directly.

01:25:08.480 It's directly.

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.

01:25:17.660 That wasn't the way.

01:25:19.760 But what about if you were just to give it to the government and they promised not to

01:25:23.440 give any to turtle tunnels?

01:25:25.280 That's still not the way.

01:25:26.600 Still not the way.

01:25:27.580 Taking your money is not charity.

01:25:29.260 When the government takes your money for taxes, that wasn't charity.

01:25:33.600 How did I do anything?

01:25:35.280 I didn't.

01:25:35.960 I was forced.

01:25:37.400 And force is not a tool of God.

01:25:41.800 It's a tool of the other side.

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

01:26:07.080 not.

01:26:08.380 Um, and it's also, uh, they're also talking about the 60 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers

01:26:14.320 and how evil the Israeli soldiers are.

01:26:17.380 Well, do you know, out of those 60 people, 50 of them were Hamas terrorists?

01:26:22.820 Your point?

01:26:24.680 50 of them were Hamas terrorists? 0.95

01:26:27.660 I mean, uh, it's not a bad thing when Israelis kill terrorists. 0.99

01:26:33.220 No, it is not.

01:26:33.960 As far as I'm concerned.

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

01:26:47.080 of people.

01:26:47.920 Uh, and they tried to give those guys, Oh, and that, what does that Nazi figure mean to

01:26:55.160 you?

01:26:55.840 Oh, they tried desperately.

01:26:57.120 That was the NPR thing.

01:26:59.060 And it was just absolutely agonizing.

01:27:01.040 That guy gave him every way out.

01:27:03.320 And he wouldn't, he wouldn't take it.

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.

01:27:11.140 I think James 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

01:27:18.520 to help the guy.

01:27:19.360 Now, for all the suffering, some Palestinians have still been moving toward the border fence

01:27:24.600 today.

01:27:25.220 We're at one of the main protest sites.

01:27:27.640 We've seen people moving in that direction.

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.

01:27:41.900 Would you describe what that is?

01:27:43.140 This is a kite that's going to go to the Jews. 1.00

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.

01:28:00.920 What does this thing mean to you?

01:28:03.220 Why do you put that on there? 0.94

01:28:07.620 The Jews go crazy for Hitler when they see it.

01:28:10.600 The Israelis know that people are flying kites with swastikas. 0.97

01:28:14.660 They know this and they use it to discredit you.

01:28:19.140 Listen to that.

01:28:20.660 The Israelis know this.

01:28:22.220 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.

01:28:32.760 Don't use that.

01:28:33.700 Say it means something else.

01:28:34.800 Yeah, I'm trying to help you here.

01:28:36.840 It's a painting of love.

01:28:38.080 It's a painting of love.

01:28:39.180 Yeah.

01:28:39.320 No, this is the American Indian symbol of goodness.

01:28:43.280 That's what this is.

01:28:44.200 That's what I thought it was.

01:28:45.680 To say this shows you're bad people.

01:28:47.860 What do you think about that?

01:28:49.200 We want to break them.

01:28:51.360 We want to break them. 0.96

01:28:53.220 We want to break them. 0.96

01:28:53.500 We want to break them. 0.80

01:28:54.120 We want to break them in the air.

01:28:56.300 Sure. 0.99

01:28:57.060 We want to burn them. 1.00

01:28:58.920 We want to burn them. 1.00

01:29:02.100 This is actually what we want them to know. 1.00

01:29:05.560 He says that we want to burn them. 0.98

01:29:09.980 Amazing. 0.98

01:29:10.920 It's unbelievable.

01:29:12.340 It's despicable.

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. 0.98

01:29:24.200 He's been taught that Jews are evil his entire life. 0.93

01:29:28.000 They have it in their workbooks at school. 0.98

01:29:31.980 They have it in their children's books in kindergarten. 1.00

01:29:35.020 The Jews are made out to be pigs in all of their literature. 0.98

01:29:40.620 It's ingrained in them, so they don't think there's anything wrong with it. 0.98

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.

01:29:49.800 No way.

01:29:49.960 He doesn't care.

01:29:50.400 He doesn't know that it's wrong.

01:29:51.640 He doesn't think it is.

01:29:53.180 Yeah, he doesn't think it is.

01:29:54.300 And he's not ashamed to say that it is.

01:29:55.940 Not ashamed at all.

01:29:57.280 Because he believes everybody feels that way about him.

01:30:00.100 It's pretty amazing.

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.

01:30:16.940 Because that was one of many views.

01:30:18.980 One of many views.

01:30:19.900 There's a lot of different views here. 0.98

01:30:21.980 Yeah, all hating the Jews. 0.73

01:30:24.040 Those are your views. 1.00

01:30:25.740 One thought we should burn the Jews. 1.00

01:30:27.520 The other thought we should burn the fields that feed them food. 1.00

01:30:30.060 The other thought we should just blow up everything that comes across. 0.80

01:30:34.060 Exactly.

01:30:35.580 It's unbelievable what the American media is doing here.

01:30:40.560 And I just don't understand it.

01:30:42.800 How is it the Palestinians with this viewpoint?

01:30:45.840 How are they the ones you're relating to here?

01:30:48.880 I don't know.

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.

01:31:07.400 They believe in a one-state solution.

01:31:08.820 Always.

01:31:09.160 Theirs.

01:31:09.720 Every deal.

01:31:10.420 Every deal you came to the table with, they said no to.

01:31:14.780 Including the original deal.

01:31:16.200 Because they want more.

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.

01:31:24.880 And they wanted to drive Israel into the sea. 0.66

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?

01:31:53.640 And the guy says, 50 cents.

01:31:56.720 And I go, oh, 50 cents.

01:31:57.860 Okay.

01:31:58.960 And right then I'm okay.

01:31:59.940 He goes, oh, did I say 50 cents?

01:32:01.140 I meant that was 70 cents.

01:32:03.200 Right.

01:32:03.640 I mean, because you already agreed to 50.

01:32:05.360 But if I go, ooh, 50 cents.

01:32:07.960 And you see that when you walk through the marketplaces.

01:32:09.800 All the time.

01:32:10.220 That's what you get.

01:32:11.120 All the time.

01:32:11.740 Yeah.

01:32:12.180 So it's just like the deals with the two-state solution.

01:32:16.020 They want, if you're willing to make a deal.

01:32:17.600 You're willing to give us a two-state?

01:32:19.820 Yeah, we just want one.

01:32:20.840 Yeah, you're going to give us more.

01:32:22.900 It's amazing.

01:32:24.140 That is kind of the mindset.

01:32:25.440 It is.

01:32:26.420 In fact, more than kind of.

01:32:27.780 It is the mindset.

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. 0.90

01:32:36.440 And yet Israel is the bad guy. 0.94

01:32:39.240 Every time.

01:32:40.800 Every single time.

01:32:42.220 Fascinating.

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.

01:32:47.780 Because she hasn't put up with that.

01:32:49.060 No, she has not.

01:32:49.680 And then when the Palestinian babbling started last week in the U.N., she got up and left.

01:32:54.240 Great shot of her just walking out. 1.00

01:32:56.220 When have we seen that before from an American ambassador?

01:32:58.600 I don't know that we have.

01:32:59.520 I don't remember it if it's happened.

01:33:01.600 I don't know that we have.

01:33:03.280 That sounds nice.

01:33:05.520 727-B-E-C-K. 0.97

01:33:07.340 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.

01:34:20.740 Transcription by CastingWords

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.

01:35:01.960 So, speaking to this victim, Cruz says, 0.95

01:35:10.940 He, the Pope, told me, Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. 0.78

01:35:16.680 God made you like this and loves you like this, and I don't care. 0.94

01:35:22.660 The Pope loves you like this.

01:35:24.420 You have to be happy with who you are.

01:35:27.000 Wow.

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?

01:35:37.580 It's a tad. 0.99

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. 0.99

01:35:52.440 It's wrong, yeah. 0.97

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.

01:36:26.960 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.

01:36:39.580 Wouldn't you?

01:36:40.440 Yeah.

01:36:40.880 I mean, so that's a big ask.

01:36:42.360 That's a really big ask.

01:36:45.580 It is.

01:36:46.520 And I guess, you know, you could ask it, but that's tough.

01:36:50.020 That's a tough one.

01:36:51.740 And I don't know.

01:36:53.020 I mean, this is above my pay grade.

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.

01:37:00.320 Is it nature or nurture?

01:37:01.540 I don't know.

01:37:03.700 I don't know.

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.

01:37:16.040 Now, the Vatican hasn't denied it.

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.

01:37:31.900 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.

01:37:44.680 Like, I don't know, forever.

01:37:46.560 Like, from the beginning.

01:37:48.320 Yeah, from the beginning.

01:37:49.680 Right.

01:37:49.960 And, yeah, I mean, according to this article, and I don't, I mean, it very well could be true.

01:37:57.280 I mean, I've seen it before.

01:37:58.700 But, I mean, they talk about deep-seated homosexual inclination is, you know, objectively disordered.

01:38:05.220 And that's the way the church sees it. 0.86

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.

01:38:22.320 Yeah.

01:38:22.880 It's a big ask.

01:38:23.840 It is.

01:38:24.940 It is.

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.

01:38:36.620 God already made you into a sin.

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.

01:38:51.300 No, it doesn't.

01:38:51.820 That's what I'm saying.

01:38:52.440 He's responsible for all life.

01:38:54.240 Yep.

01:38:54.380 And so, if he's responsible for all life, and you were brought into this world already a sin.

01:38:59.100 Mm-hmm.

01:39:01.720 Now, you could deny that your whole life.

01:39:04.680 Let's say you are born that way.

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? 0.88

01:39:30.520 You'd just have to go the other way.

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.

01:39:47.660 Right, right.

01:39:49.540 But you were supposed to marry a man, but you didn't want to.

01:39:52.440 I mean, you know, think of that.

01:39:55.120 That's difficult.

01:39:59.440 Yes, it is.

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.

01:40:33.400 Much.

01:40:34.040 Yes.

01:40:35.220 But the Pope, who am I to judge?

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.

01:40:54.020 He's the guy talking to him.

01:40:55.460 Right.

01:40:56.500 So, I'm okay with you judging the Pope.

01:41:00.020 That's what you're supposed to do.

01:41:01.180 Well, I think he's saying, you know, God is the judge, not man.

01:41:06.660 I know, but you're next in line.

01:41:07.860 Tell me what you think.

01:41:08.800 All right.

01:41:12.280 888-727-BECK.

01:41:15.680 Wes in South Carolina. 0.70

01:41:18.020 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:41:18.980 Good morning, gentlemen.

01:41:19.940 Hey.

01:41:20.180 How's it going, guys?

01:41:20.800 Good.

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?

01:41:46.940 Oh, yeah.

01:41:48.340 Yeah, that's a great point.

01:41:51.220 Appreciate it.

01:41:51.920 Thanks, Wes. 0.67

01:41:52.540 The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds. 0.71

01:41:55.660 It just, I mean, there's no limit to it. 0.94

01:41:58.140 But it's pretty amazing.

01:42:02.460 888-727-BECK.

01:42:06.140 And, I mean, everybody knows what Donald Trump was saying when it came to the MS-13 thing.

01:42:12.440 Yes.

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. 0.90

01:42:29.760 You're darn right they do. 0.94

01:42:30.840 And still they said this kind of nonsense. 0.94

01:42:32.740 We're all God's children.

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.

01:42:44.040 Right.

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. 1.00

01:43:02.740 That's not what he said. 0.86

01:43:03.700 That's not what he said.

01:43:05.420 You have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?

01:43:13.120 Wow.

01:43:13.580 These are not people.

01:43:15.480 These are animals.

01:43:17.340 The President of the United States. 0.73

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.

01:43:30.120 Inhumane.

01:43:30.820 Oh, okay.

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?

01:43:41.680 There's no spark of divinity there?

01:43:44.080 There's nothing that says, hey, there's human life there?

01:43:48.900 Oh, sure.

01:43:49.280 There's a spark of, you know, if the woman wanted it. 1.00

01:43:54.400 Wanting to keep the tissue and let it, you know, develop.

01:43:58.060 Yeah, but that's all it is.

01:43:59.180 I mean, you don't know that that's a human being.

01:44:00.860 No, no, no.

01:44:01.340 That's what I'm saying.

01:44:01.800 Not right away.

01:44:02.520 That's what I'm saying.

01:44:02.980 I mean, that could be anything.

01:44:04.680 As we've discussed.

01:44:05.620 That can be anything.

01:44:06.280 So, spark of divinity.

01:44:10.280 What?

01:44:11.500 Unbelievable from her.

01:44:13.200 And from all of these abortion lovers who fight so hard for the ability to just snuff 0.92

01:44:20.800 out human life at any stage of a pregnancy.

01:44:24.140 It's perfectly fine.

01:44:27.040 But just calling somebody an animal, that's denying the spark of divinity.

01:44:33.500 Okay.

01:44:36.540 And again, they're all clear on the fact that Donald Trump was not saying that all people

01:44:43.300 who cross the border are animals.

01:44:45.340 Yes.

01:44:45.680 They know full well he wasn't saying that.

01:44:47.940 And I know, you know, our illustrious other leader, Chuck Schumer.

01:44:53.020 Oh, yeah.

01:44:53.300 His tweet.

01:44:54.040 When all of our great grandparents came to America, they weren't animals.

01:44:59.060 And these people aren't either.

01:45:01.000 Same thing.

01:45:04.020 Chuck.

01:45:04.560 Same thing.

01:45:05.260 And he knows better.

01:45:06.420 They all know better.

01:45:09.120 888-727-BECK.

01:45:11.560 More Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:45:15.260 Glenn Beck.

01:45:17.320 Mercury.

01:45:31.000 Glenn Beck.

01:45:48.940 Appreciate you joining me here on Glenn's show.

01:45:51.780 It's Pat Gray.

01:45:52.840 At noon Eastern.

01:45:54.340 Just a few minutes from now.

01:45:56.040 Right after this show wraps up.

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.

01:46:06.320 Of course.

01:46:06.740 Yeah.

01:46:07.060 I think it's everywhere.

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 0.96

01:46:16.160 in and use the restroom.

01:46:17.100 I love it.

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.

01:46:27.360 Yes.

01:46:29.360 Because everybody's welcome now.

01:46:31.120 Everybody, come on in.

01:46:31.920 Doesn't matter.

01:46:32.420 Come on in.

01:46:33.120 You don't have to purchase anything.

01:46:34.520 We don't expect you to buy anything.

01:46:36.040 You can come in.

01:46:36.740 You can sit down.

01:46:37.680 You can go to sleep.

01:46:39.420 You can use the restroom.

01:46:40.760 You can do whatever you need.

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?

01:46:50.320 Agonizing.

01:46:50.680 So, when somebody comes over and asks you if you want anything, I guess you just say,

01:46:55.280 nope, I'm just sitting here.

01:46:56.180 No, I'm just sitting here.

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.

01:47:17.480 There's no question.

01:47:18.120 And they know that.

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

01:47:29.660 have just people coming in and staying.

01:47:32.060 I mean, if they're going to do that, they need to limit how long people can stay in there.

01:47:37.200 No.

01:47:37.600 Won't it be interesting to see how long it takes for them to do that?

01:47:41.360 Yeah.

01:47:42.780 Yeah, you can come in and sit for 30 seconds.

01:47:46.100 And then we're going to get kicked out and you're not buying anything.

01:47:48.660 Right.

01:47:50.020 Because this will be this.

01:47:53.520 Absolutely.

01:47:54.140 There's going to be misused.

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. 0.96

01:48:12.400 I'm singing your butt on out of here now. 0.97

01:48:14.460 Let's go. 0.99

01:48:15.860 Yeah.

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.

01:48:23.900 It's an old Bonanza reference.

01:48:26.300 It's an old Hopsing.

01:48:27.020 I love Hopsing.

01:48:28.820 It's one of my favorite.

01:48:30.440 Bonanza from 1968. 1.00

01:48:34.040 I never watched the stupid show. 1.00

01:48:35.760 I don't know where it's from. 1.00

01:48:36.740 I don't know what you're talking about there.

01:48:37.980 Okay.

01:48:38.500 I'm just saying, I like the phrase.

01:48:41.600 Oh, really?

01:48:42.020 You're going to get me for Hopsing, Mr. Kmart?

01:48:44.020 I am.

01:48:44.740 Yeah, I did.

01:48:45.140 Mr. Buy Things at Kmart earlier in the show.

01:48:47.680 Kmart doesn't even exist anymore.

01:48:49.440 Yes, it does.

01:48:50.080 No, it doesn't.

01:48:50.480 Yes, it does.

01:48:51.000 No, it doesn't.

01:48:51.720 Yes, it does.

01:48:52.520 I meant Walmart anyway, but I may have said Kmart inadvertently.

01:48:57.200 I don't know why.

01:48:58.240 We don't have Kmart in Texas, but they still exist.

01:49:01.560 I don't think so.

01:49:02.260 They exist outside the state.

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.

01:49:13.020 Well, you're going to.

01:49:14.660 Too late for that, my friend.

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?

01:49:30.060 Yeah, they usually do.

01:49:31.380 Really?

01:49:31.960 Yeah, they have that.

01:49:32.640 Why would you?

01:49:33.280 Now, if you have an open door policy and an open restroom policy. 1.00

01:49:36.380 Well, they're not going to be able to lock it now, right?

01:49:37.960 Why would you lock it?

01:49:38.880 Yeah.

01:49:39.500 Yeah, you can't lock that thing.

01:49:40.820 You're going to make me ask to use the restroom? 0.99

01:49:43.200 How dare you?

01:49:45.480 How dare you?

01:49:47.100 This is not going to work.

01:49:48.880 And it couldn't happen to a nicer company.

01:49:50.640 I know.

01:49:51.680 But they'll be revising this.

01:49:53.900 My guess is within a month.

01:49:57.020 Within a month.

01:49:58.960 All right.

01:49:59.560 We'll see you tomorrow right back here on the Glenn Beck Program.
