00:00:08.480
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn today, 888-900, or 888-727-BECK.
00:00:17.060
It's the Beto hype machine is in full, full operation right now.
00:00:25.240
Not only are they trying to say that Beto O'Rourke, who is the challenger that's taking on Ted Cruz for his Senate seat in November.
00:00:34.200
Not only are they saying that he's only one point behind Ted Cruz.
00:00:38.360
Now they're talking about him for a potential run for the presidency in 2020.
00:00:51.500
But a huge article from Vanity Fair, it seems like Iowa in 2007, is Beto O'Rourke the left's Obama-like answer to Trump in 2020?
00:01:10.160
I think people are going to be really surprised when they find out this guy is white.
00:01:22.860
Well, a culturally appropriated Hispanic nickname.
00:01:29.460
It's a Hispanic nickname for Robert Francis O'Rourke, a guy who couldn't get any whiter or more Irish.
00:01:42.740
The article mentions how he's visited all 254 Texas counties in his Toyota Tundra.
00:01:51.300
Oh, they followed him around like little lap dogs.
00:01:54.140
He does these running town halls where he runs and then stops and they all gather together on the lawn and he does a town hall.
00:02:14.340
Or maybe even the office of the presidency if he can jog and then do a speech.
00:02:22.420
It's just that I'm not sure that qualifies the guy for office.
00:02:28.700
The left, the media, is just head over heels in love with Beto O'Rourke.
00:02:42.100
I mean, according to this latest poll, he's one point behind.
00:02:45.120
I tend to doubt that a little bit, especially because they used registered voters for that poll, not likely voters.
00:02:54.260
Obviously, if you eliminate those who, you know, they might be registered, but they're likely not going to vote.
00:03:01.640
I think Ted probably has, you know, he's got to be up by more than a point.
00:03:19.360
I'm pretty invested in this because I pledged to eat my underwear if Beto O'Rourke beats Ted Cruz.
00:03:28.560
He was up by, I don't know, 14 or 15 at the time.
00:03:32.560
I mean, Beto had still been, you know, they were getting behind him as the big push, but that was a little bit before.
00:03:38.420
And I don't want to, I'm not making excuses for you, and you still will step up to the plate with your bet.
00:03:43.820
But that was a little bit before the big Beto push.
00:03:47.940
And, boy, I mean, they have just, they love this guy.
00:03:52.440
Yeah, he's getting all kinds of money from out of state.
00:03:57.780
For whatever reason, they're just in love with him.
00:04:08.280
And, by the way, it did not appropriate any culture.
00:04:14.080
If he did have a Hispanic nickname, it'd be okay.
00:04:25.480
He's not even going back to Washington this week for some of the votes.
00:04:32.160
Because it's, the campaign is so important right now.
00:04:35.060
He's, he's actually campaigning right now and making sure that he shores up his base here.
00:04:39.640
And I think, you know, there might be a problem with some complacency in Texas.
00:04:44.120
We just, you know, you think, ah, it's Ted Cruz.
00:04:46.780
He doesn't, he's not going to, he's not going to lose that.
00:04:50.700
He doesn't need that money because, well, Beto has outraised him two to one.
00:05:02.920
And, and again, I think it's in part because of complacency.
00:05:08.700
You know, he angered Trump fans at the Republican convention because he didn't endorse him.
00:05:14.340
And then for those of us who kind of admired that because he stuck to his guns, two weeks later he did.
00:05:31.440
Uh, the campaign, uh, when he was first running for Senate where they had, uh, uh, held their, uh, money back.
00:05:39.900
He used the phrase, kept his powder dry until it got closer.
00:05:43.920
And then spent the money on, uh, you know, promoting the campaign.
00:05:47.440
So, you know, we're in the, you know, we're in the final drive, the final, the final, final turn heading into, uh, November.
00:05:54.240
So maybe that's what he's doing now too, as well as, is, uh, you know, making that push.
00:05:58.800
But it does feel, and I say feel cause I don't know for sure, but it does feel like Ted needs to get a move on.
00:06:09.080
I think there's, there's a sense of urgency now in the campaign and, uh, with the, with the Cruz, uh, people.
00:06:15.160
Um, and, you know, tomorrow's the first day of September.
00:06:25.020
It's, uh, time to start telling your conservative friends to get out and vote and, and make sure that we don't let this fall by the wayside and lose Ted Cruz in the Senate.
00:06:36.740
I know, you know, I know it's Democrats eating their own, but you know, that's the same thing that kind of happened in New York with, uh, Cortez.
00:06:42.780
I mean, he was, yeah, he was just like, yeah, I'm not going to lose.
00:06:50.720
She was out there getting the press and it paid off.
00:06:53.840
Well, she's from, you know, she's Jenny from the block.
00:07:01.860
No, but she, but you know, that 40 minute drive from the Bronx every day from the Bronx,
00:07:07.040
where she lived to the school, where they enrolled her 40 minutes away every day.
00:07:14.040
Well, except that's, she didn't live in the Bronx, uh, that whole time she lived near the
00:07:20.860
So, but they based their whole biography thing on that.
00:07:26.860
That, that her, her, uh, her, her life view was formed during that 40 minute commute.
00:07:38.500
Cause then, then you have this other, uh, democratic socialist Salazar, who used to be conservative.
00:07:44.080
Glenn interviewed her, in fact, in 2012 and like, uh, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, this Salazar
00:07:59.200
I mean, you, you've got to beef up your story, I guess, and make it sound.
00:08:04.460
It's, it's not, it's not enough that you were born in Miami.
00:08:08.000
In the case of Julia Salazar, she was born in Miami claiming to be an immigrant.
00:08:22.020
It's amazing that they, I mean, we're almost dead.
00:08:24.260
You know, I know that, uh, uh, the head of Google a few years ago said people are going
00:08:28.540
to have to change their identity, you know, and, and change their name because, uh, you
00:08:35.740
I mean, there are, everybody's been, and that means that you're going to have to make up
00:08:42.860
You know, if you're going to have to change the name and you're going to have to make up
00:08:45.500
some kind of story that, uh, changes everything.
00:08:47.920
So you're not known as the girl that was taking selfies, uh, you know, with her top off in
00:08:55.380
I'm just, it's just so everything is out there now.
00:08:58.300
So, you know, maybe that's, maybe that's what we're seeing.
00:09:00.400
We're seeing the forefront of everybody just changing their name and telling us a story,
00:09:09.260
I don't want socialism and it, it, this socialist movement is just really sweeping this millennial
00:09:19.120
And, you know, Ocasio-Cortez is in that generation.
00:09:24.680
You know, at the edge of that generation, you get a Beto O'Rourke who has virtually the
00:09:30.060
I mean, you're talking about a guy who wants to bring socialism to the United States and
00:09:34.420
is within one point in the state of Texas of actually being able to do something about
00:09:40.220
And we can now add, uh, the, uh, the, uh, governor's race in the state of Florida, uh, for our man,
00:09:53.900
I mean, he's, uh, uh, leans way that way as well.
00:09:57.500
And he's, he's, I think he's an admitted socialist, isn't he?
00:10:08.500
Who, um, I have no idea where he stands on any issue, but I do know this.
00:10:19.240
Everyone knows my husband, Ron DeSantis, is endorsed by President Trump.
00:10:29.140
He's actually building, you know, they're doing blocks there and putting a, and
00:10:45.780
People say Ron's all Trump, but he is so much more.
00:10:59.880
So that's what stands between Florida and a socialist.
00:11:12.760
It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:11:14.600
With Pat and Jeffy, 888-727-BECK is our phone number.
00:11:30.860
It's about the first man on, on the moon, Neil Armstrong.
00:11:47.120
And he's, he's, I think, did he also direct this?
00:11:58.420
Because he's talking like he had something to do with this particular decision that we're
00:12:04.580
They, I hate it when they do this kind of stuff, because then it puts you in that quandary
00:12:16.360
It's just a matter of, you know, which, which is the more driving force to me.
00:12:21.000
Do I want to want to see first man more than I'm angry about them not planning the American
00:12:32.800
You know, when, uh, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, one of the things
00:12:38.300
they did, one of the first things they did was to plant the American flag.
00:12:41.680
That wasn't a sign that America claims the moon for our own.
00:12:50.880
We set out to do this in a decade and we did it.
00:12:55.480
And it's, it's, uh, quite an achievement and nobody else has ever done it to this day.
00:13:04.360
Here we are almost 50 years later and it's still never been done again.
00:13:10.860
Except by us over and over until we got tired of it.
00:13:19.700
Well, we found out, I mean, Armstrong even said later that they, the, the United Nations
00:13:23.300
tried to hone in on, uh, putting their flag up, you know, and they, they could, when the
00:13:28.740
United Nations gets to the moon, why go ahead and plant the UN flag.
00:13:34.560
But that's when we decided that it was going to be our flag, but we weren't going to, uh,
00:13:45.100
As soon as, um, as soon as Mexico is able to get to the moon, they can plant the Mexican
00:13:54.480
If any, but seriously, if any other country were to have done this, how we would, we would
00:14:02.560
not be having an argument over whether their flag was going to be in the movie.
00:14:08.520
If it was the Soviet union, the beat us there, the Soviet union flag would be planted in this
00:14:16.580
So is it just something though, that maybe they just, uh, didn't focus on the, it just
00:14:24.900
No, this was a conscious decision not to plant the American flag on the moon in this movie.
00:14:31.560
Um, Ryan Gosling said, I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement.
00:14:46.960
Well, that that's true, but so what, uh, as were many of these astronauts and time and time
00:14:52.620
again, he, he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission
00:14:59.240
You mean the 400,000 Americans who made it possible?
00:15:05.260
It, it, it, it wasn't 400,000 Soviets or Chinese or French.
00:15:14.340
And even if it did transcend countries and borders as Ryan likes to call it.
00:15:24.580
And I know that Neil Armstrong, uh, it was still an American achievement, you know, didn't
00:15:34.160
I don't think he did consider himself a hero, but he, I think he did consider himself an
00:15:40.400
He even, he said that, uh, look, my job was to get the flag there.
00:15:43.860
You know, I left, uh, I left a debate over what flag was going to be there to, uh, you
00:15:47.900
know, he, I think he is what was smarter minds or whatever it was, but the, uh, uh, you know,
00:15:53.640
but the deal was, is that it was our flag because we decided that no United Nations, it
00:16:02.340
If you want to go there, you can go there, but we're putting our flag there.
00:16:05.580
And how proud at the time, I mean, this is just this.
00:16:13.180
I mean, one of the proudest moments in the country that we've tried to relive how many
00:16:19.020
It's one of mankind's biggest achievements and it was done by Americans and it was done
00:16:26.480
And he said, in the next decade, we will do this and we will do it because not because
00:16:30.180
it's easy, but because it's hard and they got it done.
00:16:39.020
And so to rewrite history, when you do the, the movie about it is ridiculous.
00:16:52.080
And, uh, it's disappointing because I, you know, I've been hearing about this movie.
00:16:58.140
I really want to see this movie and I hate supporting this kind of crap, but you know,
00:17:07.420
Everybody's going to go to it anyway, because on the right, we don't, uh, we don't, we don't
00:17:12.820
We don't, we don't hear about a restaurant that donated $25,000 to Democrats and then say,
00:17:19.260
Oh, I'm never going to eat at that restaurant again.
00:17:21.560
I'm going to boycott and lead a charge to boycott that restaurant.
00:17:26.200
Because, uh, I want to go to that restaurant and I, I like the food, so I'm going to go
00:17:33.000
there and I like the double cheeseburgers, please.
00:17:40.940
It has, has Robert De Niro, uh, pissed you off to the point where you're not going to
00:17:49.840
He's gone so far that you can't actually swear off.
00:17:56.200
one of his movies that I really love that was on some channel not long ago, uh, score
00:18:04.180
It's just a part of the movie, but I mean, I, I only, and I love the movie and I made
00:18:07.340
it about halfway through and I just couldn't take it.
00:18:12.700
So I think he has, this was post boycott decision.
00:18:23.340
It's a stupid movie, but it's just, I can't, I can't just so frustrating.
00:18:28.900
Maybe this is not a, as big a deal as we're making out of, but I don't know, really hit
00:18:38.420
The fact is an American flag was planted on the moon.
00:18:41.600
So when you're telling that story, it just makes sense to show that scene.
00:18:46.320
Cause it's iconic and everybody knows it's there.
00:18:48.900
If you wanted to make a point, like what they talked about, they could make a big point
00:18:52.860
of the argument over what flag should be there and make the United States look like the bad
00:18:58.600
guy, which wouldn't surprise me that they would do that.
00:19:09.900
The left does boycotts all the time, all the time.
00:19:13.960
I mean, this In-N-Out burger story is just so silly, so ridiculous.
00:19:20.780
They heard that In-N-Out gave $25,000 to the Republican party in California.
00:19:29.240
And so everybody jumped on social media calling for a boycott just because they gave $25,000
00:19:43.080
I think that just the donation means that you've got to attack people and you've got
00:19:52.540
They either have to lose their job or they have to lose their livelihood in some way because
00:20:03.700
And look, I'm, I'm, uh, I'm a fan of In-N-Out burger.
00:20:10.420
I mean, the rest of them, the fries and the shakes are, no, and the shakes are, could
00:20:21.660
So, and I'm not opposed and I'm not saying this has ever happened in my life of getting
00:20:26.160
a Chick-fil-A burgers or I mean Chick-fil-A shakes and then getting In-N-Out burgers.
00:20:31.040
I'm not saying that's ever happened in my life, but it could.
00:20:35.660
And you wouldn't boycott either place if they donated to a Democrat cause.
00:20:41.200
If you start boycotting everything, uh, that's done by people that disagree with you politically,
00:20:47.520
first of all, you're not going to have any entertainment choices at all.
00:20:50.900
You're not going to be able to listen to any music or see any movies or watch any TV shows
00:20:57.380
And, and so when you start to get into, uh, something that we were just talking about
00:21:02.280
that really hacks both of us off today, when, uh, in the movie first man, they made a conscious
00:21:08.740
decision not to show the planting of the American flag.
00:21:17.640
So you're not going to, you're not going to plant the flag on the moon.
00:21:23.040
Well, it's an achievement that transcends good borders and countries.
00:21:31.240
The United States of America was able to achieve that.
00:21:39.680
But it was a transcendent moment, moment done by us.
00:21:42.660
And we were, we were happy to share with the world.
00:21:55.060
I will say I was reminded during the break that we probably shouldn't be so upset over
00:22:07.200
Cause it was done on a soundstage in Arizona or something.
00:22:30.280
Uh, we've kicked this around a little bit, uh, as to whether or not the right should boycott
00:22:39.140
I mean, we've seen that if done right, it works.
00:22:46.620
Or we just don't, you know, do it and participate in it.
00:22:50.600
But, uh, when it's done and you make noise on social media, on, you get, you get, uh, you
00:23:05.100
Well, already in and out burger started saying, Hey, well, we, we give equally to both parties.
00:23:12.700
We look at, we gave to, we gave $25,000 to the Democrat party too.
00:23:24.720
I mean, we have the one guy lost his job over donating money to a cause that failed.
00:23:30.740
I mean, the guy in California gave money to the, uh, the abortion cause that failed in
00:23:35.540
California and they found out he gave money to it and they still, they still ran him off
00:23:54.720
So, um, my question for you guys today is with regards to the current trajectory of the
00:24:01.380
If it goes further socialist than it is currently, and people are just sick and tired of like,
00:24:08.740
from my perspective, I feel as if though America might see the death of the Democrat party in
00:24:14.960
some way as if it were the Whig party of the past and another party could take a place, its
00:24:19.840
place in the vacuum, such as the libertarian party, because it seems more reasonable than
00:24:25.660
I mean, what would your thoughts be about that?
00:24:29.140
I mean, I'd like to see something like that happen, but I doubt that it will, because I
00:24:35.060
I, I think Democrats are, have been largely accepting of the socialism coming out of their
00:24:43.420
They almost, they almost nominated Bernie Sanders for their presidential candidate.
00:24:48.820
You've got an avowed socialist, and you know, he's a socialist, and he makes no bones about
00:24:55.720
it, and he wants to bring, uh, socialism to the healthcare system, socialism to the educational
00:25:02.960
system, uh, uh, you name it, and he wants the government to run it.
00:25:19.840
I, I, I think the Democrats just become socialists named Democrats, and maybe they, maybe they
00:25:30.400
And just use both monikers, because that's what a lot of them are doing.
00:25:36.780
Um, but to be replaced by libertarians, that, that's something that, that's, that'd be too
00:25:47.180
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't see that happening.
00:25:52.900
Um, and it's, the, uh, the anger, uh, on the left is just so palpable.
00:26:02.060
And they're, they're so angry about, well, Donald Trump, for one thing, uh, and they hate
00:26:08.240
him so much that, uh, all their energy is, is going down that path.
00:26:14.340
Their energy isn't going to, hey, you know what?
00:26:17.620
Maybe the party has gone a little too far to the left.
00:26:27.840
Well, it seems like, like we look at it and say, well, they've gone so far left and, uh,
00:26:32.340
you know, maybe they do need to pull back a little bit.
00:26:34.100
And right now, uh, the blue wave that is supposed to be, uh, you know, bringing doom to us has
00:26:43.020
So if it doesn't happen, perhaps then you say to yourself, well, maybe if that doesn't
00:26:48.360
happen, they'll say to themselves, maybe they wake up, uh, you know, maybe we do need to
00:26:52.820
However, it appears that what will happen is they'll just get madder and saying, we're
00:26:57.540
We're not smart enough to know we didn't go far enough and we have to go far, right.
00:27:01.000
We have to continue on that course farther down the road.
00:27:07.800
I would hope that they would see the light and be come back a little bit and say, you
00:27:14.700
Stu just discussed this on, uh, the TV show filling in for Glenn, uh, last night is democratic
00:27:19.900
socialism really the future of the democratic national, uh, committee.
00:27:41.860
Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
00:27:46.540
I, um, I, I heard your, um, your mention of the, uh, the boycott of, uh, the, the burger
00:27:53.380
joint because of donations to, um, to the Democrat party or sorry, the Republican party.
00:28:00.400
And, uh, up here in, uh, in New York or as some call it, Cuomo Slovakia, which I like
00:28:10.420
Um, I worked for, uh, for the state parks, um, over in Sackett's Harbor and I, uh, I was
00:28:18.040
a social worker for a little time and you're mandated whether or not you're in the union
00:28:22.320
to pay union dues, or at least you were up until, uh, the Supreme court decision there.
00:28:28.560
And the CSEA, um, they don't really give a flying fig if you're a Republican or a Democrat,
00:28:35.800
they'll just donate to the Democrats willy nilly, basically, um, essentially making you
00:28:42.520
donate to causes and campaigns that you otherwise wouldn't.
00:28:47.040
So, um, it's nice that the left has their free choice of boycotting things that they, um,
00:28:56.140
they don't want to, uh, to fund by boycotting this burger joint.
00:29:02.960
But what about the rest of us who, um, you know, we paid our union dues and ended up
00:29:12.180
It would have been, uh, good for a boycott to me, but.
00:29:21.820
And like he said, before the Supreme court finally, finally put a stop to that.
00:29:27.740
Rick in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:33.260
I've got a, I've got a theory about the flag on the moon, not being shown.
00:29:38.100
And I know this is a stretch, but you know, there's a lot of flat earthers out there and
00:29:44.560
moon landing deniers who will say we didn't really land on the moon.
00:29:49.260
And as part of that evidence, they will point to the flag on the moon and say, see, it's
00:29:56.380
So perhaps the movie, uh, producers said, look, we'll just leave this out.
00:30:03.200
So that way there'll be less evidence for the fake moon landing people to stand on.
00:30:11.540
A little bit of a, a little bit of a stretch, I think.
00:30:17.960
Plus, you know, I was thinking, okay, so we, we boycott, do boycotts work?
00:30:22.200
But the thing is in the end, uh, you know, in the end for first man, as you said, we're
00:30:33.900
And you're going to be pissed for a second when you see that they don't plant the flag
00:30:38.360
And then you're going to walk out going, wow, it's just a movie.
00:30:44.860
And while that's probably what's going to happen to us or in most of America,
00:30:53.740
Cause we, that's how things, I mean, we're just talking, those boycotts work.
00:31:00.900
I, when you, when you deny people making money, that speaks pretty loudly.
00:31:06.700
And so if the movie made, you know, uh, $38 at the box office, make quite a statement
00:31:16.400
to its producers, uh, would send a strong message to them.
00:31:30.340
Uh, the latest nonsense from the left is this called for boycott, uh, of In-N-Out Burger
00:31:38.520
because they gave $25,000 to the Republican Party in California.
00:31:42.980
By the way, they also, this election cycle gave, um, $80,000 for, uh, to Californians for
00:31:54.540
jobs and a strong economy, which is a committee focused on electing business-friendly Democrats
00:32:00.980
So, so, so, um, well, you know, hopefully it's good enough, but I don't think it will
00:32:11.200
I, in this climate where, uh, Democrats are boycotting everybody who even, uh, looks at
00:32:16.800
a Republican, they, they got to tear hats off people's heads.
00:32:22.240
Uh, grown men are throwing drinks in the faces of teenagers and stealing their caps.
00:32:28.880
If they're Trump supporters, you got to shout and yell and scream and surround Trump supporters
00:32:34.860
in public at restaurants or at a department store or wherever you see them.
00:32:40.300
I, it's just a, it's a ridiculous environment right now.
00:32:44.660
And they've done, I mean, In-N-Out and, and, and Chick-fil-A, you know, they've all done
00:32:48.760
stories about how they pay their managers well, how they treat their employees well, how they
00:32:52.360
pay their employees well, how they go out of their way for the employees.
00:32:55.060
And it's not good enough because they believe in the Bible.
00:33:00.360
Don't they, uh, I'm hearing, cause I, I never go to In-N-Out Burger, but, uh,
00:33:05.260
they, they print Bible verses on their wrappers and things.
00:33:10.600
And I did not know that either because, um, when I go to In-N-Out Burger for my double
00:33:14.300
double, I'm paying attention to the double double, not the wrapper.
00:33:18.920
They, they have a Bible, uh, Bible, you know, like Proverbs, uh, three, five on, uh, cups
00:33:25.520
for milkshakes and the water cup has, uh, John four, six, 14, six.
00:33:32.900
I'm surprised the left hasn't freaked out over that.
00:33:41.880
How could I eat a burger with a wrapper mentions?
00:33:50.320
It's amazing that they've gotten away with that.
00:34:00.080
I just remember a few years ago, they, you know, the left called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A
00:34:07.100
And all it really did was bolster their business for quite a bit.
00:34:15.240
There was people holding up signs, support Chick-fil-A, support our rights, et cetera.
00:34:20.660
And, uh, you know, I really hope that happens in California.
00:34:28.040
Uh, the right got behind Chick-fil-A and specifically, uh, supported them afterwards.
00:34:49.960
Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on this Labor Day weekend.
00:34:54.100
Hard to believe it's already, we're already at Labor Day weekend.
00:35:01.140
Oh, last night was loaded with college football and some NFL preseason too.
00:35:06.660
Uh, and then tomorrow, of course, is the start of the, uh, BYU football season.
00:35:11.980
Which I know everybody's, I know everybody's been on the edge of their seat.
00:35:15.500
I mean, this entire building is, I tell people, stop talking about BYU football.
00:35:20.880
Uh, last night, uh, the rival, uh, University of Utah, uh, played, uh, their opening game
00:35:35.220
Um, they sneak, they just squeaked by 41 to 10.
00:35:39.200
Good teams usually start the season with a few, uh, few teams that they can beat to get
00:35:43.060
the ball rolling, you know, you don't want to step right into the season up against big
00:35:47.500
Well, except for BYU is doing just, uh, taking on Arizona this weekend in Tucson.
00:35:53.080
Arizona's got the top, I mean, uh, BYU has got a top schedule.
00:36:03.000
Arizona Cal, uh, also on that schedule, Wisconsin, Washington, all in September.
00:36:13.580
Uh, but you know, if, if they, if they go five and O during those five games, Jeffy has
00:36:22.340
So I got to believe a lot of people are rooting for, for a five and O BYU star.
00:36:29.500
It's gonna happen just because it, that would just be such great karma for that.
00:36:44.400
I just, I mean, what, uh, what a dream come true that would be.
00:36:49.360
And on top of that, you'd be, you'd be five and O.
00:37:01.380
Interesting comment from LeBron on an HBO show called, uh, the shop.
00:37:07.720
He's actually, it's actually executive produced by him.
00:37:11.360
Um, but he said when he was in high school, he had a severely anti-white perspective because
00:37:19.120
of his upbringing, he, um, he said when he first got to the ninth grade in high school,
00:37:25.160
I was on some, I'm not effing with white people kick said, I was so institutionalized
00:37:38.540
So I'm like, I'm going to the school to play ball and that's it.
00:37:46.200
So if you, if you don't want nothing to do with them, that must mean you do want something
00:37:58.780
I think he says, uh, that was my initial thought and my initial shock to white America
00:38:04.380
when I was 14 years old for the first time in my life, took me a little while to adjust
00:38:08.720
Now, if this was a white person saying this about blacks, would that, would that be okay?
00:38:15.220
Would that, if that, if this is a white athlete that everybody likes saying that he, uh, didn't
00:38:22.960
want nothing to do with no black people when he was a teenager.
00:38:28.780
Would everybody say, well, it's great that you made that trend.
00:38:43.860
That is very, very doubtful that that would be the case.
00:38:46.840
I think that white person probably loses their livelihood.
00:38:52.300
You know, if, if in and out burger can't give $25,000 to Republicans and not face a boycott.
00:38:59.400
Well, certainly a white person couldn't say something like this.
00:39:06.940
And that's so old, even with, uh, you know, our, our, our former president, Barack Obama.
00:39:13.920
When, I mean, he talked about the same thing, right?
00:39:16.660
He had, he had a real struggle with race and he talks all about it in dreams from my father.
00:39:20.940
So, and, and, and that's a wonderful thing according to the world.
00:39:28.900
Uh, also the New York Times published a comprehensive, uh, detailing of the allegations made against representative Keith Ellison by his ex-girlfriend, Karen Monaghan.
00:39:41.480
Um, it's a long, they, they say it's a long and sad story with little resolution.
00:39:47.120
Now, this guy was under these, uh, allegations when he, when he, uh, was, when he won the nomination for attorney general in Minnesota a few weeks ago.
00:40:03.920
And I don't know that it matters now, but what's interesting about this, uh, in this Me Too age, the, uh, his ex-girlfriend claims she has a video.
00:40:32.740
Uh, politically, he's reprehensible as a human being.
00:40:39.100
And we probably would, not because of the abuse, but it would be nice to see him take a few.
00:40:49.660
And this would be something that would bring him down.
00:40:51.880
However, people have been asking to see the tape.
00:40:54.300
Now his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend, um, Monaghan has stated that she won't produce the tape.
00:41:01.180
She, she told Minnesota Public Radio in an interview because it, I'm quoting now, sets the expectation for survivors of all kinds of forms of abuse.
00:41:12.400
Whether it be abuse toward women, abuse from police officers, abuse from other people in power.
00:41:17.940
To have to be the ones, like I'm doing right now, to show and prove their stories.
00:41:31.960
And in the United States of America, the accuser must prove that the accused committed a crime.
00:41:39.460
Um, there's something called innocent until proven guilty.
00:41:49.520
Well, I just, then we just automatically believe her.
00:41:54.420
So, I, I mean, you can't, I don't know if you can, uh, ascribe any credibility to her now, to her claims.
00:42:01.120
I mean, we, I don't know that anyone actually has.
00:42:07.080
Uh, it keeps coming up and the New York Times did a, a huge spread on it yesterday.
00:42:13.700
Well, I'm sure the New York Times would love, I mean, they're, I'm fans of, uh, hey, we're going to accuse somebody.
00:42:21.560
But you wouldn't think they'd be doing that in the case of Keith Ellison, because, you know, that's one of their people, Keith Ellison.
00:42:28.860
But they actually, uh, printed her claims regarding that relationship, including that he, he narcissistically abused her and committed soul rape.
00:42:48.660
If there is video of that, I want to, I want to see that because I want to know what that is.
00:43:01.420
I'd like to see, I would like to, I have a feeling I know what she means and that's, that's pretty much what it is.
00:43:17.660
Is there anything you want to tell us that you've maybe been through this experience?
00:43:32.900
Oh, you're treated like a king in this building.
00:43:40.960
I, so, you know, when you've got somebody who claims to have a, uh, video of something
00:43:50.180
And then refuses to show it because she shouldn't have to prove it.
00:43:57.800
I just, that made it completely illegitimate to me.
00:44:04.560
I mean, she didn't even want to be a part of this, right?
00:44:06.440
It was her kids that started this whole, this whole madness.
00:44:09.200
Yes, but she backed up what her kids were saying.
00:44:13.920
And we were all for it and thought it was horrible.
00:44:19.580
I mean, how could we let this, something like this happen?
00:44:47.540
I wanted to confront you guys on the socialist Democrat embracing that's been going on.
00:44:52.200
I just read an article in The Atlantic today with Elizabeth Warren, and she is essentially
00:44:57.060
embracing capitalism, saying, I'm a capitalist.
00:45:00.300
And then she went on to say a few things, and it sounded a lot like Glenn's type of stuff
00:45:04.980
about how the bigger corporations are using crony capitalism to shut out smaller businesses
00:45:13.320
So I was wondering if you thought maybe she was pivoting away from the social democratic
00:45:17.420
angle and going maybe going to go towards the I'm a capitalist and here, you know, and
00:45:22.460
kind of rebranding herself from the, you know, we didn't build this a packaging that she
00:45:29.040
Yeah, I think she's paying lip service to that, and maybe she feels like, okay, we're
00:45:36.200
not there yet where we can all just embrace socialism and just admit to socialism, because
00:45:41.580
she sees that in every case of a Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-endorsed candidate, they've lost.
00:45:53.160
Every single time this socialist has endorsed a candidate, they've lost their election, and
00:45:58.440
I'm sure, you know, she's a hip enough politician to realize that we're maybe not quite to the
00:46:04.140
point now where you can come right out and say it.
00:46:06.000
So I think she's paying lip service to capitalism like Barack Obama used to do every once in a
00:46:21.440
She just not long ago talked about nationalizing all the businesses.
00:46:25.440
So I have a feeling that that's her saying that, look, I'm a capitalist.
00:46:33.220
Every once in a while, just to throw it out there so he could see, so that he could say
00:46:38.200
and his supporters could say, well, no, he talks about capitalism.
00:46:47.140
Then he usually follow that up with, I do think at some point you made enough money.
00:46:51.780
I'm a capitalist and I love this country, but there's got to be a time when we step up
00:47:05.700
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is from the new school and she's just, she's fine with saying it.
00:47:19.460
Speaking of football, as we were a few minutes ago, the season really getting, really gets
00:47:26.180
rolling this weekend for college football and then next week, the NFL kicks into gear.
00:47:32.480
Also next week, a week from today on Pat Gray Unleashed, which starts every day immediately
00:47:38.180
following this show on the Blaze Radio and Television Network.
00:47:40.540
However, we will be doing, we are bringing back more on trivia.
00:47:45.840
The second hour of Pat Gray Unleashed, beginning next Friday.
00:47:51.560
Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears to kick it off.
00:48:06.160
I wanted to bring up a point of, you know, what I saw Trump do this past election.
00:48:12.940
I saw him mobilize a lot of Democrats, in my opinion, to vote for him.
00:48:17.220
I see him mobilizing the Hispanic base, the African-American base over to the Republican
00:48:23.520
But where the Democrats are now becoming Democratic Socialists, I feel the old conservative mantra,
00:48:31.120
the old Republican mantra, we also need to morph, right?
00:48:33.980
So I feel if we lose the House this November, it will be because, for instance, a lot of
00:48:39.080
Democrats in Ohio that voted for Trump aren't ready to vote for Steve Shabbat, who's been
00:48:44.680
in Congress, you know, 20-plus years, has the old, almost the old, you know, things about
00:48:51.600
him where Harry's probably anti-gay marriage, he's anti-this, anti-this.
00:48:55.020
Because I feel that that skin needs to be shed almost, and Trump's started us down that
00:49:01.480
I think there's a lot of people that traditionally voted Democrat that are ready to brace conservative
00:49:09.500
And I think we need to change the party fundamentally a little bit.
00:49:13.060
I'm a millennial myself, always been Democrat, or excuse me, voted Republican.
00:49:17.740
But there's things Republican Party, and we heard more about it under Obama than we do
00:49:23.960
Like, I personally don't care, my friends don't care whether two guys, two women, want
00:49:32.840
We want to be raised, you know, we want to be left alone.
00:49:34.860
We want everybody to be able to live their lives.
00:49:42.220
Now, that's not to say, hey, we're ready for, you know, everybody to be able to use whatever
00:49:47.000
bathroom they want, and I don't think that's what people want.
00:49:49.560
But I think the Republican Party as a whole needs to re-examine themselves and say, hey,
00:49:54.920
maybe some of the old hardline stances, we need to embrace these Democrats now.
00:50:01.140
You know, my father's a teamster, a 30-year teamster.
00:50:03.220
He now votes Republican because of Trump and some of the new ideas.
00:50:07.220
But we need to embrace these Democrats that are fed up with that socialist title.
00:50:11.780
And really, I think we can gain back control of the country for a long, long time and not
00:50:15.740
even have to worry about losing the House in the November election, if that makes sense.
00:50:26.300
I think the party, to a certain extent, has already embraced Trumpism.
00:50:35.780
You know, as far as the same-sex marriage thing, yeah, that horse left the barn.
00:50:40.400
So, I mean, there's no sense in even talking about it, really, right now, because it's over.
00:50:48.580
I don't know if you want to make it an issue to try to reverse that trend.
00:50:57.980
But there's a lot of things that Trump believes that I don't necessarily want to adopt in the Republican Party.
00:51:07.640
And so, I'm not sure I'm on board with changing the fundamental platform of what the Republican Party should stand for or once stood for.
00:51:19.480
It doesn't really stand for that anymore, it seems to me.
00:51:22.500
Because everybody's giving up on their principles, right?
00:51:27.260
And so, you know, if you have certain beliefs, religiously, there is a reason for the beliefs that people have and the things that we fight for.
00:51:39.900
And so, a lot of those have just been flushed down the toilet in the Trump age.
00:51:51.020
And I don't know that I want to continue in a party like that, quite frankly.
00:51:57.140
I'm more concerned about the principles than I am whether or not Trump supports them.
00:52:04.940
And I guess I'm alone on that because, I mean, as we played earlier.
00:52:11.600
Everyone knows my husband, Ron DeSantis, is endorsed by President Trump.
00:52:30.940
People say Ron's all Trump, but he is so much more.
00:53:11.500
It would certainly push him into that slot where he's at.
00:53:16.160
I mean, Adam Putnam was winning until Trump rubber-stamped DeSantis.
00:53:28.760
As long as you don't have to compromise your principles.
00:53:32.220
Do we want Democrats to be comfortable voting Republican?
00:54:03.160
Al Gore was just on, I don't know, some local TV news station where they did kind of a little
00:54:09.580
feature on him and they asked him, what do you say to these climate change deniers?
00:54:18.120
Every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations.
00:54:30.200
Every night is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations.
00:54:35.900
First of all, Al, it's the Book of Revelation, not the Book of Revelations.
00:54:44.580
Secondly, I have not gone on a nature hike through the Book of Revelation weather-wise every night.
00:54:55.220
It's unbelievable the stuff that comes out of his stupid mouth.
00:55:02.080
Every night is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations.
00:55:06.080
Former Vice President Al Gore visits downtown L.A.
00:55:09.540
As the Trump administration feuds with California over environmental regulations.
00:55:18.740
What's your message to President Trump when it comes to climate?
00:55:35.660
I don't mean to be flippant about it, but I've been flippant about it.
00:55:44.900
...advise about the importance of clean air and clean water.
00:55:48.540
That's something that ticks me off about the environmentalists.
00:55:52.760
They are always, always in, and I say our faces, because I'm a climate denier.
00:56:04.380
That we aren't willing to listen, but they're the ones...
00:56:17.640
They tell us that there's no discussion to have, and we're trying to have a discussion
00:56:36.940
When an Inconvenient Truth came out, their criteria was, and I was in Houston at the time.
00:56:42.640
They always have this list of gigantic things you've got to do just to maybe get an interview.
00:56:50.960
So I went to see the movie, and then I called back and said, okay, I met your criteria.
00:57:00.860
Is that why I see him on some interview every freaking night?
00:57:06.740
A recent report shows climate change in California is likely going to be worse than originally
00:57:17.840
I love how they've ratcheted this thing up because none of their predictions have been
00:57:21.780
true so far, but we're supposed to believe this one.
00:57:24.380
So every prediction you've made so far has not come to pass, but now it's going to be worse
00:57:34.500
Higher temperatures, more fires, and more deaths.
00:57:37.520
In fact, we're finding some of those developments from your book of revelations every night on
00:57:45.540
the news is caused directly from things that we've done because you said we had to that
00:57:59.500
Yeah, it might get worse if we allow you to continue with your regulations.
00:58:03.100
Tell us it's going to get worse if we don't change.
00:58:12.560
We need to switch over to renewable sources of electricity.
00:58:26.600
I'm the first ever environmental billionaire, and that's not enough for me.
00:58:48.120
I'm sure that Al could help you out with detailing a plan.
00:58:54.560
He's got a plan, and it only costs $10 trillion.
00:59:05.660
If we could just start with the 10, then we'll get to $92 trillion later on.
00:59:09.940
Because we start with the 10, it'll start to turn things around.
00:59:12.420
You're going to see just how good it is, and then we'll move forward.
00:59:14.980
Then you're going to be okay with spending the $92 trillion, which, by the way, is only
00:59:26.260
92 is about $30 trillion more than all the money in the world.
00:59:36.300
Now, it's more than all the money in the world right now, right?
00:59:45.980
I guess we could just keep printing until we get to $92 trillion.
01:00:01.120
Ryan, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
01:00:09.880
I am very, very curious as to why there's so much media silence on that compound in New
01:00:18.580
Why no one is up in arms about that prosecutor dropping the ball and letting those people go.
01:00:51.780
Bob was telling us that the compound situation in New Mexico is a strange one.
01:01:06.920
We at least know that through neglect and whatever his son was killed, we know that he was training a dozen kids as school shooters.
01:01:20.620
We know that they found plans for a terror attack in Atlanta.
01:01:25.700
We know that the five of them were apparently complicit in all of that.
01:01:34.620
Because of prosecutorial neglect, they got let go, right?
01:01:44.220
Then within a very short period of time, they had already cleaned up where they were living.
01:01:52.320
They had removed, you know, all the debris and a trailer and everything that was there.
01:02:04.880
The relationships from this guy, from the one guy and his father.
01:02:11.940
I mean, the whole thing is really, really weird.
01:02:15.720
And I don't know how you, I don't know where you go now to say what was wrong, who was, if anything, if anything was wrong.
01:02:26.540
Or this was just, you know, down the road neglect by prosecutors and the judge was following the law.
01:02:53.280
You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
01:03:00.040
Down here in Florida, it's just a big terror show is the way we can word it on the radio.
01:03:07.400
You have Mr. Gillum saying that Mr. DeSantis is playing out of the Trump playbook.
01:03:15.820
And then Gillum is doing the biggest Democrat play there is where if you can't be the victor, you have to be the victim.
01:03:33.600
You know, it was something, you know, poor wording.
01:03:37.680
Yeah, but I mean, the monkey around he was talking about was the agenda, not the man anyway.
01:03:42.640
So if you're trying to make monkey into some sort of racist comment, well, the monkey was the agenda.
01:03:48.560
Don't monkey around with his agenda of socialism.
01:03:56.100
I mean, the world has said don't monkey around.
01:04:00.140
Well, there's no there's nothing racial used the term when he was campaigning.
01:04:14.400
And that's a it's a it's a good call on the playbook.
01:04:23.060
And now, instead of moving forward, you've got instead of, you know, DeSantis has got to try to backpedal and whether he apologizes or whether, you know, bad wording or whatever, he's never going to seem like he can't get past it.
01:04:38.600
And it will it will be a long time because they'll keep bringing it up and then you'll think you're past it.
01:04:44.700
And he'll say something else that's dumb, like everyone else does.
01:04:52.000
Oh, DeSantis said said monkey up again, just like he did two months ago.
01:05:01.340
Hard to believe, though, that Florida could elect a socialist.
01:05:07.960
But, you know, Bill Nelson has been a senator there for I don't know how many years now.
01:05:15.340
Hopefully, Rick Scott will carry him up this time.
01:05:30.660
You had an earlier caller that said most conservatives don't care about what liberals do.
01:05:45.820
One thing we're not talking about is our public schools.
01:05:49.140
They are after the hearts and souls and minds of our children.
01:05:58.560
They've captured the hearts and minds of our children.
01:06:02.460
And you're right, although I do know that, not for nothing, that this program and this network has talked about it at great length.
01:06:13.320
We've talked about it quite a bit because it's really important.
01:06:18.960
What has happened in our education system is amazing.
01:06:24.000
It was also brilliant on the part of the progressives.
01:06:27.420
They knew that if they could get control of the educational system, they can control the hearts and minds of a whole generation of people.
01:06:44.300
And now we've got the fruits of that where millennials have different, they just have different standards than some of us who went to school previous to this generation.
01:06:57.900
And we heard it earlier today on the phone from a millennial.
01:07:02.860
There are certain things they don't care about.
01:07:09.320
And I think you'll find that in the vast majority.
01:07:14.180
But the vast majority of millennials totally fine with that.
01:07:19.200
They don't see any reason why anyone would oppose it.
01:07:35.020
They believe that there should be no debt when they get out of higher education.
01:07:40.800
They believe that socialized medicine is great.
01:07:44.740
Why wouldn't you have that every other country in the world?
01:07:46.860
That's what they're told in school all the time.
01:07:49.920
Every industrialized nation on earth has better health care than this country.
01:07:59.500
So that's where we are now with millennials is they've been indoctrinated by the educational system.
01:08:12.080
It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:08:18.040
With Pat and Jeffy, it's Labor Day weekend already.
01:08:25.180
Of course, in Texas, summer can't end fast enough for me.
01:08:51.480
I don't know why you lie to the people because last week it was like 130.
01:09:00.660
And every once in a while at night, it'll get all the way into the 110s.
01:09:28.500
Don't forget, one week from today on Pat Gray Unleashed, which starts immediately following
01:09:35.420
Next week, we will debut more on trivia for the year.
01:09:39.040
And then every Friday, all through football season, we'll be doing more on trivia again.
01:09:44.720
It's back in the second hour of Pat Gray Unleashed right after this show.
01:09:56.500
How many times have we said this stinking service, this LinkedIn, is going to be the death of
01:10:03.500
United States top spy catcher said Chinese espionage agencies are using LinkedIn, fake LinkedIn accounts
01:10:13.300
to try to recruit Americans with access to government and commercial secrets, and the company
01:10:20.080
It's amazing how much spying China is doing in the United States and getting away with.
01:10:30.060
I frankly don't understand it, how it's possible.
01:10:36.280
William Evanina, the U.S. counterintelligence chief, said that intelligence and law enforcement
01:10:42.640
officials have told LinkedIn, which is owned by Microsoft, about China's super aggressive
01:10:49.260
He said the Chinese campaign includes contacting thousands of LinkedIn members at a time, but
01:10:55.300
he declined to say how many fake accounts U.S. intelligence had discovered, how many Americans
01:11:00.300
have been contacted, and how much success they've had in the recruitment drive.
01:11:06.680
You couple this with the story we just heard in the last few weeks about all of the American
01:11:12.640
agents in China that were murdered by the Chinese.
01:11:15.000
They killed something like 30 of our spies in China over the last couple of years.
01:11:23.040
I think since 2012, they've killed 30 American spies.
01:11:28.040
Were they putting that on to having access to the Hillary emails?
01:11:31.980
No, well, I mean, some people have tried to make that out of it, and I don't know if there's
01:11:36.700
much to that, but what they think happened now is that the CIA screwed up, and it's a complicated
01:11:47.440
process about how they hacked in through a system that shouldn't have been opened, but
01:11:52.740
they opened it, and it's, and so they found a bunch of names there, and just started, just
01:12:03.020
And there's, you know, I mean, obviously no one will, but someone definitely should be
01:12:08.700
I mean, we're costing lives, American lives, and a foreign soil is not correct.
01:12:12.420
And like you said, as you said, no one will be held accountable.
01:12:15.940
And, yeah, if there's something you should be held accountable for, yeah, it's screwing
01:12:20.020
up to where two and a half dozen agents are killed.
01:12:23.660
Yeah, maybe somebody's head should roll for that.
01:12:33.500
That's where you find out all kinds of really good, interesting and really good quality information.
01:12:40.300
Found out something about Trump voters from a couple of the MSNBC anchors.
01:12:44.780
A lot of people vote pretty selfishly, and they say, what's going to give me more money
01:12:50.440
Or what's going to keep, or what's going to make abortion illegal, or what's going to make
01:12:54.360
sure that my Second Amendment rights stay the same, and clearly...
01:12:57.320
So you're saying, wait, you're saying that people vote for the people who represent their
01:13:29.280
I don't even want to do the rest of the story I'm saying.
01:13:34.200
I am so mad at those people, those Trump voters.
01:13:39.960
On the other hand, they're perfectly fine with the people who are voting to take our money
01:13:53.960
But when you steal money from other people and give it to...
01:13:57.780
And just redistribute it haphazardly, that's not charity.
01:14:11.420
And it's wrong to redistribute their money in really haphazard and terrible ways, like the
01:14:24.940
But, I mean, we're talking about stealing money, but what they're talking about is the
01:14:37.380
I just want to be clear that I know what you're talking about because what they're talking
01:14:40.900
about is the government taxing us and using the money to help others.
01:14:49.300
When the government takes it from you and gives it to somebody else.
01:14:57.700
Remember when he said, Rome should take your money and give it to somebody else?
01:15:12.300
You're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.
01:15:16.680
I just wanted to kind of circle back around and readdress the climate change.
01:15:22.460
And I wanted to ask you guys a direct question before I say what I have to say.
01:15:27.860
You really don't think that climate change is real?
01:15:36.580
Do I think the planet maybe warmed 0.9 degrees in the last hundred years?
01:15:53.860
If you want to have the conversation, you have to first accept the viewpoint of the other
01:16:04.180
And it doesn't seem to me that the right is taking, well, most of the right is taking any
01:16:11.580
of the conversation very seriously in the first place.
01:16:24.320
We see this as something that is going to be detrimental to human life on the planet.
01:16:30.900
This has happened throughout the course of the planet.
01:16:40.660
This is part of the natural process of the planet.
01:16:47.340
However, we accelerate that by utilizing the resources of this planet in the way that we do.
01:16:57.940
What he is is a mouthpiece for a lot of really smart people that have put together the data
01:17:10.660
And do you know that out of the climate models that have been put together for him,
01:17:17.320
out of the 92 climate models, do you know how many of them have been accurate in predicting
01:18:09.840
And it was cold and snowy some years, and it was less than cold and snowy some years.
01:18:18.300
And it has much more to do with whether there's El Nino than climate change.
01:18:25.700
It's a cyclical climate that we have on this planet.
01:18:34.240
If you step back and look at the severity of that cycle, it is...
01:18:42.120
Where are the more frequent, more intense hurricanes?
01:18:44.560
Where are the more frequent, more intense tornadoes that Al Gore was talking about in An Inconvenient Truth?
01:18:58.120
The worst hurricanes that we've ever had in history have just happened.
01:19:06.760
B, it took 12 years for there to be any hurricane after Inconvenient Truth.
01:19:10.960
There hadn't been a major hurricane from 2005 all the way to last year when one finally hit Houston.
01:19:27.720
Because they were quiet and there was no neat reason to.
01:19:32.600
It didn't fit the narrative for the climate change catastrophists.
01:19:38.500
And then when the first major hurricane finally does hit, then it's cataclysmic climate change.
01:19:54.300
If they're exaggerating, then they're exaggerating, and that's fine.
01:20:12.280
Well, you can't say that zero scientific studies on climate change.
01:20:24.280
And I know because you never hear that side of the argument.
01:20:33.320
So all you've heard your whole life is what you're telling me now, right?
01:20:38.620
I mean, you've been peppered with this in school.
01:20:42.040
You've been peppered with it throughout your young adult life.
01:20:44.860
And you just bought it because nobody sat you down and showed you the actual statistics on it.
01:20:50.280
No, I think that I've seen enough data and made my own informed decision to believe it.
01:20:58.440
But you've never even heard that the climate models aren't...
01:21:00.960
I mean, where were you the last 12 years of no hurricanes, though?
01:21:07.660
There's a hurricane in Hawaii right now, isn't there?
01:21:25.240
But from 2005 to 2017, there were no major hurricanes that made landfall in the United States of America.
01:21:34.420
Well, in the United States of America, what about that?
01:21:36.680
Well, that's what we were talking about in An Inconvenient Truth.
01:21:39.840
We were promised by Al Gore that they're going to be more frequent and more intense because of Katrina.
01:21:44.460
So, the inference there is it's going to affect the United States.
01:21:47.760
Everything that he says at exact face value, nobody knows exactly when it's going to occur or whatever.
01:21:59.760
So, the Paris Agreement, everybody else is still sticking to that.
01:22:06.140
In other countries' ideology that says, this is probably a good thing.
01:22:15.540
But we pull out because we want to keep burning coal like we were in the 1700s.
01:22:24.680
You mentioned renewables, and now you're back to them again when you first started your call.
01:22:29.760
Well, no one is against renewables, but we don't have any renewables that are as strong and as productive as what we're using already.
01:22:42.020
And plus, with renewables being subsidized with our tax dollars...
01:22:49.480
When we can get renewables that actually create power, we don't have to worry about the lights turning on and off when we come into the house, which we all like, including you, I'm sure, like to come in the house and go, oh, I just hit the switch.
01:23:03.180
We have that in America because of coal and power that other countries don't have.
01:23:11.460
Appreciate the call, Michael, and appreciate talking to you, and I'm glad you called.
01:23:16.940
But I'm not saying that it should be coal anyway.
01:23:21.540
Nobody's talking about bringing coal back to the levels it once was.
01:23:26.540
It once was, no, but I think Trump was trying to bring it back.
01:23:28.420
Mostly, natural gas that has replaced a lot of the coal energy that we used to burn.
01:23:37.000
I mean, there's a million different things we can do.
01:23:39.320
Wind and solar just aren't ready to replace it yet.
01:23:45.140
Wind and solar, Michael, if you're still listening, and hopefully you are, account for about 5% of our energy.
01:24:07.220
What I'm saying is there's no renewable energy ready to replace fossil fuels.
01:24:20.300
It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:29.300
We've got a generation of people that have been so indoctrinated with that, that have been so convinced in the education system that they believe they see it every day.
01:24:43.460
I mean, is there anything different that is happening today than has ever happened?
01:25:07.340
You forgot what it was like when it happened before.
01:25:10.540
You mean like the floods that they call the 100-year floods?
01:25:16.280
Stuff like that where it places, different places in the United States and around the world,
01:25:20.520
but specifically in the United States, where every 100 to 150 years, this particular area will flood.
01:25:29.140
And then about 30 years into that 150 years, we decide, man, that's never going to flood there again.
01:25:39.840
Look, if something starts to happen, we can take care of it.
01:25:44.920
Oh, I remember when I was a kid, the Mississippi River used to flood all the time.
01:25:56.680
I remember hearing about the floods in the Midwest all the time.
01:26:00.480
When I was a kid in Michigan, my grandparents lived on the Cass River.
01:26:06.480
And every year, there were pictures of the water coming up to the back of the house,
01:26:12.780
because their house was the second lot in from the river.
01:26:18.480
And it would just, oh, yeah, came up to the back port steps this year.
01:26:21.540
Came up to just the back of the garage this year.
01:26:23.880
And then the 100-year flood comes, and it buries all the houses that they've built up to the second floor.
01:26:32.720
But now they say, well, maybe we shouldn't build there.
01:26:40.760
And it's, you know, we've always had them, always had them.
01:26:44.680
And then we're told they're going to be more frequent and more severe, more intense, more frequent in 2005,
01:26:58.200
We're told that 12 years go by, and we don't have a single major hurricane in the mainland.
01:27:08.020
We have a couple of little ones, and even those were few and far between.
01:27:13.180
And they bring up Sandy, too, which was not a hurricane.
01:27:23.180
Because it was a hurricane when it was out in the ocean.
01:27:26.260
But by the time it made landfall, not close to it.
01:27:31.020
So then last year, when Harvey pops up, it's global warming all of a sudden.
01:27:46.500
Al Gore has said, and he's getting his experts' facts on this.
01:27:54.640
Al Gore has claimed the sea level is going to rise 20 feet in the next 100 years.
01:28:04.900
And he's claiming victory when it floods in Miami for a day or two, and then it recedes.
01:28:30.120
Another thing that our caller a few minutes ago on climate change mentioned were the Paris agreements
01:28:35.960
and why everybody else has signed on to that, but us.
01:28:39.340
Do you know the Paris agreements don't change anything?
01:28:42.200
You know that even if you were to adhere to every stipulation in the Paris agreements for as long as they last.
01:28:57.940
Oh, it still wouldn't be anywhere near enough by their own calculation.
01:29:03.300
So, I mean, why are we even, why, if you're going to, if you have to do something to save the planet, then save the planet.
01:29:20.420
So, tell us what you really want, which is, you know, your $10 trillion, according to some, $92 trillion adventure, according to Al Gore.
01:29:30.340
Well, okay, let's get that out there, and let's debate that.
01:29:38.400
Okay, is it really, is it really going to happen?
01:29:45.720
Is it going to make a difference in saving the Earth that you believe needs to be saved?
01:29:53.720
You're absolutely going to bankrupt the planet doing it.
01:29:57.440
And, yeah, it's not going to make a difference.
01:30:01.400
The numbers do work out for several people's bank accounts.
01:30:08.760
I could be, you know, my arm twisted for a couple of billion.
01:30:18.400
So, you're not that, I mean, you're pretty easy.
01:30:37.700
And then we won't see fish swimming down city streets on sunny days like Al Gore warned us about.
01:30:45.940
Hey, I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day.
01:30:52.100
He went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming down streets on a sunny day.
01:30:57.740
The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of the sea level rise now.
01:31:04.300
We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic consequences if we accelerate the pace of change that's now beginning.
01:31:15.300
See, that's why I always say, have you ever seen the fish swimming down the street on a sunny day?
01:31:29.540
It's a frightening occurrence because someone told me long ago, our FU volives have got to go.
01:31:51.320
The problem is, Greenland's melting, as I've said.
01:32:18.020
I want to know, have you ever seen the fish swim down your streets on a sunny day?
01:32:36.020
As I've said right here before, the sun is cold, CO2 is hot.
01:33:04.980
I want to know, have you ever seen the fish swim down your street on a sunny day?
01:33:46.200
I mean, it's one of the top downloaded songs of the century, I think.
01:33:57.080
Well, maybe Al's using that accelerated pace that we need.
01:34:03.960
You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
01:34:08.260
Hey, you know, I was listening last hour, and I was kind of upset a little bit, so bear
01:34:16.840
And I'm calmed down a little bit, because when I listened to you talk to that previous caller,
01:34:26.400
But I left you guys with the Trump election, and it got to this where we're talking about
01:34:39.560
Now, I am, you know, you don't know me, but I am a very ethical conservative.
01:34:47.400
I don't care too much about the monetary stuff.
01:34:50.060
So abortion, for instance, is a big deal for me, okay?
01:34:53.180
And for the last couple of elections from the Republicans, we had to compromise our
01:35:01.280
I mean, you had Mitt Romney, who was for abortion, against it, for it, against it.
01:35:08.120
George Bush was a compassionate conservative, but what did he do?
01:35:14.560
And you have a man like Trump that comes along, and one of the first things that he did was
01:35:20.880
to sign an executive order to stop paying for abortions in Mexico, okay?
01:35:26.660
That act alone, I don't know how many millions of lives that'll be over, say, four years or
01:35:34.740
eight years if he's in there for a second term.
01:35:37.600
So I hear people say to me all the time, well, look at the man.
01:35:54.360
We have a man in the White House, like him or not, and I call him the good, bad, and the
01:35:58.740
ugly, because you never know which one of those three days how he's going to show up.
01:36:04.280
But he does more by his actions, not by his mouth, but by his actions.
01:36:10.000
And I have my friends leaving me saying, well, you know, you don't have any principles.
01:36:16.540
And these are the same people that we voted for Bush, we voted for John McCain, we voted
01:36:22.740
I mean, it just, you know, at some point we have to say, we have to bend the hair a little
01:36:27.600
bit and say, well, you know, what is he actually doing?
01:36:33.580
I mean, like the guy, but we can't be in the houses burning and polishing furniture.
01:36:44.800
I mean, part of the reason that I was, that we were so hell bent on not voting for Trump
01:36:52.580
was because we voted for McCain, we voted for Bush, we voted for Romney, we compromised
01:36:58.680
and compromised and compromised and never got what we wanted or needed.
01:37:02.780
And so that's kind of what we were tired of doing and why we took the stand we took during
01:37:10.020
However, as you have outlined, John, we've seen some of the fruits of his labor in office
01:37:20.560
Like you mentioned, he at least stopped funding abortion in foreign countries.
01:37:25.200
And when you talk about the things, the bad things about Trump in the past, that's why
01:37:31.920
it doesn't matter now because it's already baked in.
01:37:36.280
I mean, so did you, but now don't pay attention to his tweets.
01:37:45.900
And he's, I mean, moving the embassy to Israel, no American president has ever done that.
01:37:51.320
Nobody had the gibblous to do that and pull it off.
01:37:57.740
What I don't want is for the Republicans to become all about Trump, though.
01:38:04.120
Like the Ron DeSantis ad where all he talks about is that he loves Trump.
01:38:15.640
We still have to have something that you stand for.
01:38:18.680
And, you know, when Trump stands for things that I agree with, and he has, you know, I think we talk about it.
01:38:31.000
Well, I was going to say, these people that are running are still, they're not in, Trump is an unusual animal.
01:38:41.560
I mean, I really don't consider him to be a politician.
01:38:47.020
And he's definitely, he's got, you know, he's, I don't know, he's bigger than life.
01:38:57.840
But it's his ego, it's also that makes him his strong point.
01:39:01.540
And these politicians, when they get in office, why do we always say, well, he was a wonderful guy, but I don't know what happened to that guy eight years later.
01:39:08.900
Because they start getting baked into that pie.
01:39:15.560
But, you know, I think if Trump got more support, I actually feel sorry for Trump, for the $9 billion, for all the slack that he is constantly being pummeled, the lies to his family.
01:39:27.460
The Mueller investigation is going to go after him.
01:39:33.020
We should be supporting this man, even though we may not like everything he does.
01:39:38.120
But, you know, I left George Bush in 2006 when he destroyed the Fourth Amendment with the Patriot Act, you know, the search and seizure.
01:39:46.420
I mean, you know, it's just like, you know, this is our last shot, I think, you know, really.
01:39:51.940
And if we don't rally somewhat, and I understand, you know, we have to, you know, say, okay, this is the line, I can't cross it.
01:40:04.200
I mean, that's not a rhetorical question, and we have nowhere to go.
01:40:15.900
Or like Richard Gere in an officer and a gentleman when he's being hosed down by the sergeant.
01:40:50.020
I couldn't figure it out during the campaign, during the election.
01:41:48.140
You know, this weekend, Pat, you know what I'm going to do?
01:41:50.720
I know you're probably going to watch football, but I'm going to order Addicted to Outrage.
01:42:02.100
And so as soon as it's released, I'll just ship it right to my house.
01:42:11.440
You really are a low man on the totem pole here, aren't you?
01:42:28.420
One week from today, we're going to do more on trivia.
01:42:38.000
And so on Pat Gray Unleashed, which follows this show immediately on the Blaze Radio TV
01:42:44.140
networks, we will be doing it in the second hour.
01:43:23.880
Oh, is this the red phone that eats me on your TV show?
01:43:46.900
That's really not fair of using a miracle of a telephone like that and then not using
01:43:52.640
She just wanted to see if you could hear from all the way from Pennsylvania, I guess, to Texas.
