The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 4⧸7⧸21

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:03.340 Today on the podcast, Deshaun Watson.

00:00:07.760 Wow, will he ever play another down in the NFL?

00:00:11.420 We don't know.

00:00:12.000 The hysteria over the Georgia law.

00:00:14.520 We're going to fact check the New York Times and some of their fact checking.

00:00:19.100 The border situation, we get into that a little bit.

00:00:22.480 And Coca-Cola, really turning into Woka-Cola now.

00:00:26.560 That and a lot more coming up on today's podcast.

00:00:30.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:42.960 Would you look at that?

00:00:44.880 I mean, if you don't have good security in a place, almost anything can happen.

00:00:49.360 Anybody can sneak in.

00:00:52.880 Jeff Fisher entered our studio.

00:00:54.920 Jeffy's here.

00:00:55.780 I figured I'd stop in.

00:00:57.360 Say hi.

00:00:57.920 Chew the fat, perhaps.

00:00:59.100 Just get some stuff to.

00:01:00.740 Oh my gosh, yes.

00:01:01.260 And remind people that they can follow or subscribe to Chewing the Fat.

00:01:05.940 Really?

00:01:06.400 So they would go to a podcast app.

00:01:08.560 Any platform.

00:01:09.480 They would search for fat.

00:01:11.220 They would search for Chewing the Fat.

00:01:13.820 But I'm guessing if you search for fat, sure, I'm going to be there.

00:01:17.800 Okay, so we'll go search for fat, look for Jeffy's face.

00:01:20.700 And then click subscribe.

00:01:22.300 Yes, thank you.

00:01:23.020 That'd be great.

00:01:23.240 That's how that works.

00:01:23.720 Okay, perfect.

00:01:24.720 And I wish I had a product to hawk.

00:01:27.580 You know, like a kex of cookies. 0.99

00:01:29.420 Some kind of Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. 1.00

00:01:31.640 Nancy Pelosi sucks pen or something like that. 1.00

00:01:33.160 Dot com. 0.98

00:01:33.960 I've got Moo Moo's by Jeffy, but they're sold out right now.

00:01:36.420 Oh, no.

00:01:36.840 Are they?

00:01:37.760 Yeah, they're all sold out.

00:01:38.220 Because the Moo Moo's by Jeffy line is prestigious. 0.97

00:01:41.680 Huge.

00:01:42.080 And elite.

00:01:42.940 And huge.

00:01:44.500 Really big.

00:01:45.500 They ran out of fabric, right?

00:01:46.520 If Lena Dunham can have her own little line of fat gal clothes, Moo Moo's by Jeffy can sell, too. 0.94

00:01:52.760 Absolutely.

00:01:53.740 I think that's fair.

00:01:54.600 I mean.

00:01:55.000 I think that's fair.

00:01:57.520 So what do you have today for Chewing the Fat, Jeffy?

00:02:00.440 Well, you know, one of the things that I found fascinating was that we talked a little bit about it on Pat Unleashed this morning,

00:02:07.100 that NASA is about to launch a spaceship that's supposed to punch an asteroid out of the way.

00:02:14.180 I love this story.

00:02:14.780 We're testing Earth defense systems right now.

00:02:18.680 That's really cool.

00:02:19.620 The Bruce Willis thing, basically.

00:02:21.080 Yeah, basically.

00:02:22.200 Except we're not going to blow it up.

00:02:23.480 We're just going to push it.

00:02:24.860 Right.

00:02:25.160 They just want to see if they can, through kinetic energy, move it out of its current path so that if we ever had to do that, to see if this would work.

00:02:33.500 It's really kind of cool.

00:02:34.840 It's part of the double asteroid redirection test.

00:02:37.960 And we're launching it in July of this year.

00:02:41.680 And it's supposed to catch up with the asteroid we've chosen by September of 2022.

00:02:47.520 And we're going to just run into it and see if we can get it off course.

00:02:51.180 Are we at all concerned that they might nudge it the wrong way?

00:02:54.380 And push it into the path? 0.99

00:02:56.080 Don't be silly. 1.00

00:02:58.020 Don't be silly. 1.00

00:02:58.940 I'm a little concerned. 0.99

00:02:59.620 That would be bad.

00:03:00.160 Well, that's what the test is, right?

00:03:01.360 So hopefully, I mean, this one is far enough away that it's not going.

00:03:05.460 What if it redirects right at us?

00:03:07.240 Yeah.

00:03:07.760 I feel like that's our luck.

00:03:09.180 I mean, it's honestly what we deserve in this country at this point.

00:03:12.020 Really?

00:03:12.600 Yes.

00:03:12.940 It's basically, I think most of us would be like, you know, we had a good run.

00:03:17.260 Yeah.

00:03:18.020 Right.

00:03:18.600 You know, what are we going to do?

00:03:20.600 I mean, we're at the point in this whole saga where we're taking Aunt Jemima off the boxes.

00:03:24.840 Let's just blow the whole thing up.

00:03:26.580 Plus, once we do it, let's say we can do it.

00:03:29.380 Are we going to, do we have a couple extra that we're going to have in the garage that we notice?

00:03:34.060 Hey, there's an asteroid coming.

00:03:35.800 Well, I want another one ready in case we redirect it at ourselves.

00:03:39.700 Right.

00:03:40.160 At least have another one ready to launch.

00:03:41.280 I mean, we hear stories all the time.

00:03:42.940 And I say all the time, frequently, that, you know, an asteroid came within, you know,

00:03:48.720 100,000 miles of the planet.

00:03:50.660 And, oh my gosh, we didn't see that one.

00:03:53.180 We just had one that came within, was it 4,000 miles?

00:03:56.580 It was close.

00:03:57.180 It was a real near miss.

00:04:00.160 It's space time.

00:04:00.640 Yeah.

00:04:00.980 It wouldn't have destroyed the earth, but it would have caused some problems.

00:04:04.020 And so, I mean, as in the documentary, Armageddon, Bruce Willis movie.

00:04:10.100 Yes.

00:04:10.500 I mean, you know, they say in the documentary, the reason that they didn't see this, that 0.99

00:04:15.720 particular asteroid coming was because it was a big ass guy. 0.98

00:04:19.680 Yeah, that's true. 0.99

00:04:20.740 And that's science.

00:04:22.040 It's powerful.

00:04:22.340 That is science.

00:04:23.520 It's powerful.

00:04:23.940 That is science.

00:04:24.520 Really well put.

00:04:25.360 I mean, did they even try to write?

00:04:30.860 No.

00:04:31.660 You are not going to badmouth Armageddon.

00:04:33.240 In the 90s.

00:04:34.180 They were just like, I don't know.

00:04:35.820 Just give me a bunch of pieces of paper with catchphrases.

00:04:39.180 We'll just put glue on a piece of paper and throw them in any random order.

00:04:42.400 Okay.

00:04:42.680 We got big. 0.99

00:04:43.980 We got ass. 0.99

00:04:45.240 Sky. 1.00

00:04:46.180 Sky.

00:04:49.460 That's good, though.

00:04:50.080 At least we're thinking of these things.

00:04:51.300 Yeah.

00:04:51.540 I feel like we usually get taken off guard by such matters.

00:04:55.360 Yeah.

00:04:55.380 I mean, but we have people flying into space all the time now, right?

00:04:58.040 SpaceX has got people paying money and going up into space.

00:05:01.880 Virgin Galactic has got people paying money to go up into space.

00:05:05.780 Blue Origin.

00:05:07.240 They've stopped now, though.

00:05:08.220 They're not going to do it?

00:05:09.100 No.

00:05:09.440 Really?

00:05:10.080 Yeah.

00:05:10.360 Bezos is like, they didn't get one of the government contracts.

00:05:13.540 And they were like, hmm.

00:05:17.720 So we're not going to?

00:05:18.800 So they're pouting?

00:05:19.840 It's slowing down.

00:05:20.720 Okay.

00:05:21.280 Slowing down a little bit.

00:05:22.740 You're giving all the money to SpaceX and NASA and Branson is getting a little bit of

00:05:28.080 that money and I'm not?

00:05:29.420 Okay.

00:05:29.920 Well, then I'm not going to do it anymore.

00:05:33.240 Wait.

00:05:34.000 I hate to see him take his toys and go home.

00:05:35.760 I know.

00:05:36.540 It's really good.

00:05:36.880 I know.

00:05:37.360 I mean, now that he's retired, retiring from Amazon, Basil's, what's he going to do?

00:05:42.860 He's got nothing to do.

00:05:44.240 Just sit around and do nothing.

00:05:45.700 No.

00:05:46.060 This is important.

00:05:47.460 Look, we're spending all these trillions of dollars.

00:05:49.340 We might as well get a cool asteroid thing out of it.

00:05:51.700 Right?

00:05:52.100 You know?

00:05:52.540 Yeah.

00:05:53.020 I mean, if they would have said, look, we're spending $1.9 trillion on a fleet of asteroid

00:05:57.920 redirection machines.

00:05:59.460 You know?

00:05:59.800 Okay.

00:06:00.940 All right.

00:06:02.600 That's what I was hoping for.

00:06:03.960 It's better than what they really are spending it on.

00:06:05.940 Absolutely.

00:06:06.680 At least in theory, it could do something.

00:06:09.140 That's true.

00:06:09.800 And we know that they're going to start spending money again.

00:06:11.980 On the border wall.

00:06:15.020 Right?

00:06:15.540 I mean, we can't.

00:06:16.300 Well, we don't know that, but they're talking about it.

00:06:18.320 I mean, Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, was set in a meeting that they were, well,

00:06:25.380 you're right, that they may restart construction.

00:06:27.760 Mm-hmm.

00:06:28.100 On the open seconds.

00:06:28.860 I'll believe that when I see it.

00:06:30.300 You know, they are having an issue on the border.

00:06:32.920 Big time.

00:06:33.440 And, of course, obviously, as everyone does know that walls can be effective.

00:06:38.620 Right?

00:06:38.880 So, you'd think if they want to actually stop this, that would make sense.

00:06:42.800 They could blame it probably on Trump.

00:06:44.380 They should have never stopped it in the first place.

00:06:46.340 Effective to the point where, do you remember when Israel used to have the problem with bombs

00:06:53.280 going off on school buses and restaurants?

00:06:55.600 We'd hear about it at Passover dinners and all kinds of things.

00:06:59.140 It was happening all the time.

00:07:01.060 A couple of times a week you would hear about that.

00:07:03.080 Then they built the fence.

00:07:04.420 You know what?

00:07:04.980 It dropped the incidence of terrorism by 98%.

00:07:11.220 Yeah.

00:07:12.560 98%.

00:07:13.840 They also went over.

00:07:14.620 I mean, that's amazing.

00:07:15.340 They also went a big time on security as well.

00:07:18.920 Sure.

00:07:19.020 I mean, people talked about, I mean, you can't go anywhere.

00:07:21.520 It's not a one-step process.

00:07:22.860 No, I understand.

00:07:23.400 But it helps.

00:07:23.940 They also, I mean, you don't go into any malls, any office buildings, any restaurants, anything

00:07:31.360 without being searched and won in Israel.

00:07:35.280 Yeah.

00:07:35.760 Look, there's an element of low-hanging fruit that the wall gets rid of, right?

00:07:41.000 Yes.

00:07:41.180 It does not stop everybody.

00:07:42.320 A video just came out, I think it was last week, where smugglers had taken those long

00:07:49.760 iron bars on the wall that we've built, 20 or 30 feet tall, and they have some sort

00:07:56.960 of, I guess, whatever way you'd cut this in a welding, I don't know how they do it exactly,

00:08:03.240 but they had cut the bottom of the pole, basically, the post in the wall, and they cut it at the

00:08:12.000 very bottom.

00:08:12.860 So when you looked at it, it looked normal, and then they could just, you just move it

00:08:17.280 a little bit, and it would swing open, and you could just walk right through.

00:08:20.340 Oh, wow.

00:08:21.000 And apparently, they found a bunch of these.

00:08:22.980 So lawbreakers broke the law.

00:08:24.760 Right, they broke the law.

00:08:25.620 But again, that takes a little bit of effort.

00:08:27.820 It takes some expertise.

00:08:28.660 I mean, look, you're not going to stop multi-billion dollar cartels from getting through a fence,

00:08:36.040 but you probably are going to stop a lot of average people trying to cross a board, maybe

00:08:41.180 some lower level criminals, and maybe, you know, like, you can identify one of these

00:08:46.800 places and know that's where the big wigs are going to be crossing, because they have 1.00

00:08:51.220 this, and then you monitor that from a distance, and then try to capture them once they come

00:08:55.000 across.

00:08:55.260 Like, it does make the whole defense easier, and that's why the wall makes sense.

00:09:01.520 It's an inexpensive way to be able to minimize the crossing of the border illegally.

00:09:08.500 It's not the only solution.

00:09:11.360 That got to be sort of a talking point, so everyone's like, build the wall, and as if

00:09:15.020 that means there's no one who ever crosses the border again.

00:09:16.980 That's not true, but you can minimize it.

00:09:19.360 You can help it.

00:09:20.220 It's an easy way to enforce the border.

00:09:22.560 And that's what critics do.

00:09:23.460 They say, well, the border's not going to stop all these people.

00:09:26.380 Well, no, it's not going to stop everybody.

00:09:28.480 And they used to do the same thing with deportation.

00:09:31.960 You can't put 11 million people on a school bus and send them back.

00:09:36.760 That would be a big school bus.

00:09:38.180 Yeah, we don't have a school bus that big.

00:09:40.120 You're right about that.

00:09:40.940 We can start with one.

00:09:41.700 But you can start, and you can make a dent in the problem, and you know, you do it over

00:09:46.540 a long period of time, and you take a bite.

00:09:49.420 That's how you eat an elephant, right?

00:09:51.500 A bite at a time.

00:09:52.540 And part of this is messaging.

00:09:54.520 I don't know why I was looking at you when I said the elephant thing, Jeffy. 0.72

00:09:57.660 I don't even understand that.

00:09:59.320 I don't know why either.

00:09:59.500 You did look right at him when you said eating an elephant.

00:10:01.960 You looked right at Jeffy.

00:10:02.940 Very weird.

00:10:03.460 But it's part of its messaging, right?

00:10:05.880 Like, you know, the policies from the Trump administration to the Biden administration,

00:10:10.520 there have been some changes that they've made.

00:10:13.040 But in reality, it's much more about people who are, you know, down in Honduras being like,

00:10:18.420 wait a minute, he's saying no matter what, if we get across the border, they're not going

00:10:21.100 to send us back.

00:10:21.840 Right.

00:10:22.140 Let's try it.

00:10:23.180 Where Trump was saying, was messaging, hey, don't come, don't come, don't come.

00:10:27.780 We'll send you back.

00:10:28.680 Right.

00:10:29.440 And there were some things implemented to further that.

00:10:33.000 But as we know, like, there was a lot of things that Trump tried to do in the border

00:10:35.480 and wasn't able to accomplish.

00:10:36.640 I mean, you know, he can't just do it on his own.

00:10:38.380 He did what he could.

00:10:39.680 Well, on top of which now, because we, you know, we're against everything that the previous

00:10:44.160 administration did, which is why we put Kamala Harris in charge. 1.00

00:10:48.220 And she is right on top of it.

00:10:50.940 Oh, because she was elected president, right?

00:10:53.480 No.

00:10:53.800 Well, no, no, no, no, she wasn't.

00:10:55.900 Because so the biggest, the first initial crisis of the Biden administration was handed to Kamala

00:11:01.360 Harris.

00:11:01.900 Yeah, she's right there.

00:11:03.000 I mean, you can see her what, she does press conferences every day about what's happening

00:11:06.940 and who she's meeting with and how things are changing on the border.

00:11:08.980 On the border?

00:11:09.580 Yeah.

00:11:10.040 Oh.

00:11:10.420 She's down there.

00:11:11.020 She's down there.

00:11:12.140 She's not even living in Washington, D.C. anymore.

00:11:14.400 Really?

00:11:14.740 Yeah.

00:11:14.900 She's living on the border.

00:11:17.120 Is she really?

00:11:18.020 She's in McAllen, Texas right now.

00:11:20.200 She lives right there.

00:11:22.440 Yeah.

00:11:22.900 She hasn't visited.

00:11:24.760 She hasn't talked about it.

00:11:25.960 I mean, yesterday, where was she?

00:11:27.440 Chicago?

00:11:28.460 Was it Chicago talking about COVID-19 or something?

00:11:30.880 She went out to California, I think, right?

00:11:32.560 She went.

00:11:33.540 Yeah.

00:11:33.980 She was in Chicago and then she went to California or vice versa. 0.61

00:11:36.660 I don't know.

00:11:37.900 But.

00:11:38.540 But she's not dealing with the border.

00:11:40.040 She certainly doesn't seem to be dealing with what she's been put in charge with.

00:11:43.120 Right.

00:11:43.340 And so that's kind of, well, I don't know if I want her dealing with it anyway.

00:11:48.600 I know.

00:11:48.920 So it's kind of torn there.

00:11:51.480 You know, so that's a tough one to take.

00:11:54.000 So if people do want to view or hear you eat an elephant one bite at a time, where would

00:12:01.620 they go for that?

00:12:02.620 Well, you could go wherever you get your podcast.

00:12:04.980 Yeah.

00:12:05.100 But how much would I have to pay?

00:12:06.620 It's available on any platform.

00:12:07.120 Have you been able to keep the price low, I hope?

00:12:12.920 How much would I be expected to pay for the Chewing to Fat podcast?

00:12:16.020 I just want to tell you right now, right now, as we speak.

00:12:18.920 Okay.

00:12:19.300 It's free.

00:12:20.360 Okay.

00:12:21.020 So you still have won that battle for the time being.

00:12:24.120 I can't promise tomorrow.

00:12:25.000 That's why you need to go there today.

00:12:26.760 Okay.

00:12:27.120 And I will promise that you'll be grandfathered in if we start charging tomorrow.

00:12:32.500 Wow.

00:12:32.800 If you're a subscriber today on the platform of your choice, whatever platform, there's

00:12:38.820 a plethora of platforms out there that you can subscribe to, Chewing the Fat on.

00:12:43.020 Yeah.

00:12:43.540 If you do it today, then your grandfathered in will be free for you.

00:12:46.980 That's great.

00:12:47.560 And we joke about this, but did you hear that they're changing the subscribe to a podcast

00:12:51.480 thing to follow?

00:12:52.740 To follow and like.

00:12:53.600 Because too many people think they have to pay for subscribe.

00:12:57.160 So they're-

00:12:57.900 Really?

00:12:58.280 Yeah.

00:12:58.580 Yeah.

00:12:58.680 So they're changing it to follow because people keep, I guess, thinking if they click

00:13:02.480 subscribe, you're going to have to pay.

00:13:04.080 By saying subscribe, that means that you have to pay.

00:13:05.980 So if it's still, if your podcast app still says subscribe, it's free, at least for our

00:13:11.700 shows.

00:13:12.480 I don't know.

00:13:13.060 Maybe some other shows are getting past shows.

00:13:14.420 Your shows too?

00:13:15.280 Yeah.

00:13:15.880 Pseudos America, Pat Gray Unleashed, the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:18.960 Free for you.

00:13:19.580 Oh, wow.

00:13:20.020 We've all been battling hard to try to keep the cost down.

00:13:23.120 I've been trying to get my cost up.

00:13:24.340 Have you?

00:13:24.580 I want to charge.

00:13:25.060 It's like, I want people, every subscriber to pay $1,000 a month, and so far they won't

00:13:28.700 do it.

00:13:29.000 Wow.

00:13:29.220 Wow. 1.00

00:13:29.740 Bastards. 1.00

00:13:30.060 You. 1.00

00:13:30.360 Wow. 0.99

00:13:30.500 They're selfish.

00:13:31.560 You know what? 0.99

00:13:31.840 They're these typical rich white people.

00:13:33.640 That's what it is. 0.99

00:13:33.960 White supremacists. 0.98

00:13:35.000 Yep. 0.67

00:13:35.420 Who want to keep their money because they feel they've earned it.

00:13:39.240 I think they're all, I think they're all called Caspers now.

00:13:42.500 Yeah.

00:13:42.900 Well, the whiteys. 0.97

00:13:43.820 Yeah.

00:13:46.040 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:55.060 I learned something new today, Pat.

00:13:59.340 Yeah?

00:13:59.720 What?

00:14:00.060 It's always important to learn new things.

00:14:02.020 Mm-hmm.

00:14:02.360 And I learned something new.

00:14:03.460 I learned something new about hate today.

00:14:06.200 Oh. 0.99

00:14:06.700 And I happen to have, and this is not hateful at all, a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen that I want 0.55

00:14:12.020 to give out to someone who can get the right answer to this question.

00:14:14.820 Okay?

00:14:15.040 Okay.

00:14:15.120 Our number is 888-727-BECK.

00:14:18.540 NancyPelosiSucksPen.com. 0.99

00:14:19.740 Of course, it's a place to get your normal Nancy Pelosi sucks pens. 1.00

00:14:22.380 It's a replica of the pen that she used to sign the Donald Trump impeachment papers, except 0.99

00:14:28.340 in Nancy Pelosi's own handwriting, it says Nancy Pelosi and then sucks right after it. 0.77

00:14:33.060 It's, what a glorious thing to add to your collection. 0.65

00:14:35.120 So it says even more than the actual pen.

00:14:36.920 Right.

00:14:37.420 Yeah.

00:14:37.660 You get extra, extra gold in.

00:14:39.620 That's true.

00:14:40.120 That's great.

00:14:41.000 So my question is, when you have someone who is switching genders and they get a surgery, 0.61

00:14:52.380 we would call that gender reassignment surgery, right? 0.97

00:14:56.200 That's what everyone calls it.

00:14:57.800 Yes.

00:14:58.460 Okay.

00:14:58.840 A sex change was kind of the old term.

00:15:01.400 Then it went to gender.

00:15:02.100 But was that hateful?

00:15:02.900 Yes.

00:15:03.040 The sex change thing? 0.85

00:15:03.700 Yes.

00:15:03.840 It was hateful.

00:15:04.680 So you went to gender reassignment surgery.

00:15:07.000 Gender reassignment surgery.

00:15:08.820 So you're being reassigned.

00:15:10.160 Yes.

00:15:10.900 A different gender. 0.99

00:15:12.000 Okay.

00:15:12.620 If you know the answer, don't say it out loud, Pat.

00:15:14.560 Okay.

00:15:15.320 There is a, we've now discovered that gender reassignment surgery.

00:15:20.120 Is that hateful too now?

00:15:20.940 Is also hateful.

00:15:21.820 Oh, dang it.

00:15:22.320 Okay. 1.00

00:15:22.960 Darn it. 0.99

00:15:23.760 So there is a new term that it is okay to say for this particular procedure. 0.99

00:15:28.320 What is it?

00:15:28.960 888-727-BEC is the phone number.

00:15:30.980 I can't wait to hear.

00:15:31.720 I don't know the answer to this.

00:15:32.560 You don't know the answer.

00:15:33.140 I don't.

00:15:33.360 I didn't know it until today.

00:15:34.620 Huh.

00:15:35.780 888-727-BEC is the answer.

00:15:38.220 First caller who gets this right. 0.99

00:15:40.140 We'll give you a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. 1.00

00:15:42.960 Like, because this is valued at what? 0.99

00:15:45.240 $1,000?

00:15:46.520 $1,940.

00:15:48.440 Okay.

00:15:49.180 That's what I believe was the year she was born.

00:15:51.360 That's why we've, that's why we actually did price it at $1,940 marked down.

00:15:56.980 We marked down significantly as a special sale.

00:16:00.100 A special commemorative sale.

00:16:01.540 Wow.

00:16:01.940 But the normal retail price is $1,940.

00:16:05.280 Okay.

00:16:05.700 Because of her year of birth.

00:16:07.340 So I, because I will say I didn't know this.

00:16:10.920 And I was fascinated to hear this report this morning about the issues with transgendered

00:16:17.080 kids because there's a lot of hate filled bills apparently going through Republican states 0.97

00:16:22.040 that are limiting in, in disgusting ways.

00:16:26.420 Apparently children's access to puberty blocking drugs.

00:16:31.600 Stop it.

00:16:32.220 Don't say having major surgeries when they're like eight.

00:16:36.180 Oh no.

00:16:36.760 There are some states that think that that's wrong.

00:16:39.820 And as the report acknowledged, Pat.

00:16:42.880 Yeah.

00:16:43.320 There are many people who have, I can't, I can't, this world is.

00:16:51.140 Are you about to burst into tears?

00:16:52.700 I really am.

00:16:53.760 I can't, I can't even.

00:16:54.780 They're basically saying that, hey, you know, look, what, what doctors say and scientists

00:17:00.700 say is this not allowing kids to take puberty blockers and to have these surgeries.

00:17:08.300 Well, that's just sheer unadulterated hate.

00:17:11.140 Could hurt the mental health of the child and the family.

00:17:15.620 So therefore it's just hatred.

00:17:18.760 It's, I mean, they were just calling it transphobic bills.

00:17:21.620 There's transphobic bills going through, Arkansas was one of the more recent ones.

00:17:26.820 Transphobic bill going through Arkansas, blocking children from using puberty blockers

00:17:30.680 and having these surgeries.

00:17:33.480 Like what?

00:17:36.060 There's no line to this.

00:17:37.800 It's like, I would say that in many years ago, right, there would be a conversation maybe

00:17:44.840 about how, any good guesses, because we've got a lot of guesses here, but I wonder if

00:17:49.360 we have any that aren't like, a very offensive jokes.

00:17:53.900 What line is it?

00:17:55.500 Oh, no, yeah, yeah, okay.

00:17:58.000 This is, I think this is a good one because I was legitimately surprised when I heard it.

00:18:02.320 I didn't, I've never heard this term before.

00:18:05.340 I admit, I haven't.

00:18:07.260 Okay, because we have now advanced, though, to the part of this debate where, remember,

00:18:12.880 I think it was, who, was it Mario Lopez that got in trouble because he said, look, you know, 0.87

00:18:17.160 having kids change their sex at, you know, six, seven, eight years old is obviously ridiculous. 0.94

00:18:22.700 Or no, I think he said four. 0.90

00:18:23.760 I think he said four.

00:18:24.880 And then he had to come out and apologize because apparently it's not ridiculous to

00:18:28.820 change your sex or your gender at four. 0.74

00:18:32.320 Right?

00:18:33.000 Right.

00:18:33.360 Yes, and he massively apologized for that.

00:18:38.320 Like, he had really screwed up and said something really horrific.

00:18:42.640 Like, a four, how dare you say a four-year-old can't decide to change their sex? 0.99

00:18:48.000 How dare you?

00:18:50.700 It's like, I mean, legitimately, children at four years old will think they can learn how

00:18:59.800 to fly.

00:19:00.360 They'll think how, they, their imaginations are running wild with all sorts of different

00:19:05.680 possibilities.

00:19:06.380 And if you come to them with the idea that maybe they should be the other gender, what

00:19:11.420 do you think, Scott?

00:19:12.480 Many of them are going to take you up on that.

00:19:14.380 And as we've seen, I was talking to Dr. Deborah So the other day.

00:19:17.300 She has a book out on this.

00:19:18.940 She's one of the very brave voices on this who's willing to come out and say what the

00:19:23.620 science actually says, which is many, many, many children who go through this wind up regretting

00:19:31.280 it later.

00:19:31.840 Many people who thought about going through this at the end of the day think, are glad

00:19:37.760 that they didn't.

00:19:41.000 Yeah.

00:19:41.520 I mean, the suicide rates are really high for those who even get the surgery, right?

00:19:46.460 Aren't they, because you're expecting to feel better and more like you, and then a lot

00:19:52.960 of times they apparently don't, and they've got really high rates of depression and suicide

00:19:59.040 even after the surgery.

00:20:01.900 So, I think I know what it's called though now.

00:20:04.320 Okay, hold on.

00:20:04.980 We've got a couple of guesses.

00:20:05.940 You did cheat?

00:20:06.600 I did cheat.

00:20:07.220 All right.

00:20:07.680 Matt in Louisiana, I believe it is.

00:20:10.300 Matt, what do you think it is?

00:20:11.580 It used to be sex change, then it was gender reassignment surgery. 1.00

00:20:14.780 What is it now?

00:20:17.540 Well, that's Los Angeles I meant, so you've got to get that right first.

00:20:21.400 Sorry.

00:20:22.800 You know, I'm just going to go with the old traditional, the old switcheroo.

00:20:27.540 The old switcheroo.

00:20:29.460 Let's just go with that.

00:20:30.420 No, I promise you the new, unfortunately that is not the answer.

00:20:36.120 That would be better.

00:20:37.640 I will say like every once in a while, one of these like PC terms seems to me to be considerably

00:20:42.520 worse than the previous one.

00:20:43.960 The example I would come up with is little people. 0.96

00:20:46.920 Like little people is obviously worse than midget. 1.00

00:20:49.720 I think it is.

00:20:50.480 I think it's way worse.

00:20:51.660 I've always thought that.

00:20:52.460 I would not.

00:20:53.020 But I was afraid to say it.

00:20:54.320 Right. 0.71

00:20:54.600 Like they said, like midget. 1.00

00:20:57.200 They're like, you can't say midget. 1.00

00:20:58.920 You need to say little people. 0.90

00:21:00.760 That's way more demeaning.

00:21:02.260 I don't know why.

00:21:02.620 It's condescending.

00:21:03.420 It does seem like.

00:21:04.600 Yeah, it's condescending.

00:21:05.160 Again, I understand that like midget wouldn't be the right thing because I don't know. 1.00

00:21:09.720 I don't know what the term.

00:21:10.440 I don't spend too much time thinking about that.

00:21:12.280 But he's like, oh, by the way, we have a little person here with us today.

00:21:16.220 Seems bizarre.

00:21:17.780 It seems like it just seems like a terrible term.

00:21:20.620 And every once in a while, that does happen.

00:21:23.300 Like, could it go from gender reassignment to the old switcheroo? 0.67

00:21:26.320 That seems like it's pushing it.

00:21:27.900 So, no, I don't think that's it.

00:21:29.360 Christy in New York.

00:21:30.680 You have a guess here.

00:21:32.180 It used to be sex change. 1.00

00:21:33.340 Then it turned into gender reassignment surgery.

00:21:35.960 What is it now?

00:21:36.900 I think it's gender affirmation surgery.

00:21:42.160 Gender affirmation surgery is a good one. 0.97

00:21:44.660 Now, that was not the one I heard today, I will say.

00:21:48.160 But you know what?

00:21:48.860 That's a good guess.

00:21:50.180 That's a good guess. 0.99

00:21:50.840 We'll give you a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen anyway. 0.99

00:21:53.280 So, let's give that to Christy. 0.98

00:21:55.580 But that's not actually the guess.

00:21:57.600 That's not actually the correct one.

00:21:58.780 It's pretty close.

00:21:59.580 We're getting close.

00:22:00.460 I thought so.

00:22:00.780 Okay, Sam in Pennsylvania.

00:22:04.280 Sam, what is your guess?

00:22:05.200 It used to be sex change. 1.00

00:22:06.260 Then it was gender reassignment surgery.

00:22:08.300 What is it now?

00:22:10.820 I'll go for gender confirmation. 0.59

00:22:13.360 That's right.

00:22:14.200 Gender confirmation surgery.

00:22:16.040 You're confirming your actual gender.

00:22:18.340 Exactly.

00:22:18.940 You're not reassigning it.

00:22:20.360 Not the mistaken one that you were assigned at birth.

00:22:23.580 And you're not saying you reassigning means you're changing.

00:22:26.820 It's not true.

00:22:27.460 You were always that gender. 1.00

00:22:28.920 They're just confirming your gender with the surgery. 0.80

00:22:32.540 That is legitimately what they're calling it now.

00:22:34.660 Gosh, that's amazing.

00:22:35.560 Sam, you're brilliant.

00:22:36.140 Congratulations. 0.99

00:22:36.800 You've won a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. 0.96

00:22:39.460 We will get that out to you as soon as possible.

00:22:41.120 Thank you, Sam.

00:22:42.460 Isn't that credible?

00:22:43.720 Yeah, it is incredible.

00:22:45.080 And they actually are saying that gender reassignment surgery, which used to be sex change.

00:22:51.280 Yeah.

00:22:51.900 Now, it never went to gender change.

00:22:54.380 It just skipped.

00:22:55.020 We got rid of sex and we got rid of change.

00:22:57.220 Then it's reassignment.

00:22:59.440 And now it's confirmation.

00:23:01.960 And like puberty blockers for children is now gender confirmation therapy.

00:23:10.200 Wow.

00:23:10.920 So you taking medication to block hormones and create hormones and change your gender is now confirming the gender you already were, even though nothing in your body says that you're that gender. 0.75

00:23:24.960 And this is what they do.

00:23:25.900 This is what they do to make it seem perfectly natural and the right thing to just like we let them get away with this on the abortion thing.

00:23:35.800 Rather than aborting a baby, I'm just choosing.

00:23:40.620 I'm just making a choice.

00:23:43.080 I'm pro-choice.

00:23:44.400 What person who is for freedom could be against choice?

00:23:48.980 Yeah.

00:23:49.460 And now it's not a reassignment.

00:23:52.320 It's not a change.

00:23:54.040 It's confirming what you should be and what you really were all along.

00:23:59.120 I think you've hit on the single greatest piece of propaganda in American history.

00:24:03.940 Calling being for abortion pro-choice.

00:24:07.360 How the hell did that stick? 1.00

00:24:08.900 It's such a ridiculous argument. 0.99

00:24:10.600 You should not have allowed it. 0.99

00:24:11.760 Right.

00:24:11.920 Like the only thing that matters is, is it a human being or not?

00:24:15.720 Right.

00:24:15.960 Like you wouldn't say if you were just going to go murder someone that you're pro-choice.

00:24:19.980 It doesn't make any sense.

00:24:21.120 Like, you know, if OJ was like, look, I'm just pro-choice.

00:24:23.380 I didn't like Nicole. 0.94

00:24:24.380 I chose to have her die. 1.00

00:24:26.240 Right. 0.99

00:24:26.560 That no one would be like, oh, okay.

00:24:28.380 Pro-choice.

00:24:28.820 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:24:29.560 Pro-choice guy.

00:24:30.600 You know what?

00:24:30.940 Murder is such a harsh word.

00:24:32.280 He did just choose.

00:24:33.180 He just chose.

00:24:34.160 Huh.

00:24:34.300 He chose to use that knife in that way.

00:24:36.420 And it's like, well, that no one, that wouldn't make sense.

00:24:40.120 And, you know, we always, if you, let's think, take it out of, uh, fully grown adults.

00:24:44.920 If you were to say a, you know, 10 minutes after birth, the baby's out there crying.

00:24:50.140 You're like, you know what?

00:24:51.020 I choose.

00:24:51.880 I choose.

00:24:52.380 No.

00:24:53.360 Uh, sorry, kid.

00:24:54.640 I choose.

00:24:55.280 No.

00:24:55.680 We would all say that that's a murder.

00:24:57.780 But 10 minutes before that, we would be like, oh, well, I don't know.

00:25:00.500 There's a tough line here.

00:25:01.340 And science says it's not murder.

00:25:02.900 It's like, what are you talking about?

00:25:04.980 Yeah.

00:25:05.180 The fully formed baby 10 minutes before birth is just tissue.

00:25:08.980 That's just tissue.

00:25:09.880 It's nothing.

00:25:10.580 It's just a choice for the mom to make. 1.00

00:25:12.140 10 minutes later, it's, it's an actual human being.

00:25:14.320 It's completely.

00:25:15.160 It's amazing. 0.99

00:25:16.280 Ridiculous. 1.00

00:25:17.360 Completely ridiculous. 0.99

00:25:18.580 And the word, the, the phrase pro-choice has overturned human logic for half the population. 0.91

00:25:27.320 It is just, oh, everybody knows.

00:25:30.640 I've said this to people over and over again about abortion. 0.98

00:25:33.200 It's like, if you were to say a minute after birth, can you kill a baby? 0.89

00:25:39.000 Everybody would say no. 0.94

00:25:40.440 Right?

00:25:40.780 I mean, except for very few people.

00:25:43.120 There are some out there that was probably the singer and Princeton might go still keep

00:25:47.480 going with that.

00:25:48.060 But generally speaking, you'd say no.

00:25:49.520 Well, what about a minute earlier?

00:25:51.300 Well, most people would say no.

00:25:52.800 I mean, the polls are something like 84, 85 percent.

00:25:55.940 You'd say absolutely not.

00:25:58.800 But every Democrat in the hierarchy.

00:26:00.400 Yeah.

00:26:00.720 Says yes to that.

00:26:01.980 Yes.

00:26:02.180 At least in theory.

00:26:03.320 Shouldn't limit the woman's choice at all. 0.95

00:26:04.920 Right.

00:26:05.500 And it's like, if, if you were to say someone with a minute after birth, a baby was born 0.98

00:26:10.960 and you said, okay, well, and we can kill that. 1.00

00:26:13.060 You'd call them a psychopath. 0.98

00:26:14.900 But a minute before, you'd be like, okay, it's the mainstream position of the Democratic

00:26:19.200 Party.

00:26:19.900 Yeah.

00:26:20.080 Now, that's just a crazy, crazy line.

00:26:24.580 And if, and the issue here, which is, I think, the most uncomfortable thing about abortion

00:26:28.120 when you talk to normal people who are just like, look, you know, I'm pro-choice.

00:26:32.300 I don't really want to do it for myself, but, you know, at some point that minute occurs.

00:26:37.060 You say, okay, is it three months in one minute as compared to three months?

00:26:41.920 Is it six months in one minute as compared to six months?

00:26:45.560 What minute are you changing it from murder to non-murder or the other way around?

00:26:51.520 It's either it's choice to murder at one minute period at some point in that process.

00:26:57.280 Might be two, two trimesters, might be three, might be one.

00:27:00.320 One, somewhere you're just saying like, yeah, last, 60 seconds ago, it was fine, but now

00:27:05.520 it's murder.

00:27:06.620 And at that point, you're making the same bizarre psychopathic choice you're mocking.

00:27:12.120 You could mock at birth.

00:27:14.040 It really is a strange process.

00:27:16.680 The mind works in very strange ways.

00:27:18.780 But luckily, we have gender confirmation surgery here to sort it all out for us. 0.99

00:27:27.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:27:30.320 Spring is finally here.

00:27:36.920 I know, Minnesota.

00:27:38.060 Keep it down.

00:27:38.760 We know.

00:27:39.400 Not until August for you.

00:27:40.900 But for the rest of the country, spring is starting to come.

00:27:43.740 And I don't know about you, but I love to grill outdoors.

00:27:47.720 It's so easy now because of Rectech.

00:27:50.440 There's something about being outdoors in the spring that goes well with a Rectech.

00:27:54.940 Imagine that big, juicy steak or that delicious hamburger, maybe a big old slab of ribs slathered

00:28:00.560 in barbecue sauce that's slowly smoking to absolute perfection.

00:28:05.080 Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering.

00:28:06.680 Rectech does it all.

00:28:08.360 Smoking, grilling, baking.

00:28:09.960 I have one made of stainless steel.

00:28:12.220 It's built like a tank.

00:28:13.660 It has smart grill technology, which means I don't burn anything anymore.

00:28:17.600 And every time you can control the whole process from an app on your phone or your device,

00:28:22.600 you're going to love Rectech.

00:28:24.560 Follow Rectech on all social media.

00:28:26.280 Sign up for their newsletter.

00:28:27.360 And then go to Rectech with a Q dot com. 0.72

00:28:30.660 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com. 1.00

00:28:33.300 You won't believe the difference. 0.89

00:28:35.260 I was just going on Instagram to post some dumb update about a soda straw.

00:28:42.820 And I realized that Glenn had just posted something.

00:28:47.460 And we've been talking about this a little bit this week.

00:28:50.100 It's been a very strange week around here, I will say, on Monday's show.

00:28:54.540 About 90 seconds before we came on the air to talk to you.

00:28:58.340 Glenn, who has been at home doing the show because he's had a back issue the last couple of weeks.

00:29:02.720 And about 90 seconds before we came on the air, you know, something happened.

00:29:09.460 We, you know, it was, I will say we were, I was talking in the middle of talking about like the Georgia bill right before we went on the air.

00:29:16.240 And there was some commotion in the house and Glenn basically ran off screen.

00:29:22.360 And he, and then the next word I got was he was not going to be in it all this week.

00:29:26.980 And it was, you know, really scary.

00:29:30.300 Frankly, it was actually really scary.

00:29:32.720 Uh, we later, uh, found out what had happened.

00:29:35.800 And Glenn has just, uh, posted this on Instagram, uh, that his, uh, his wife's, uh, brother, uh, passed away unexpectedly, uh, kind of, uh, uh, you know, it was not something that they were expected to happen.

00:29:50.740 And it was, uh, very, very shocking.

00:29:52.720 And, uh, you know, I just, I, I can't express to you how much I know it means to him that everyone is helping, um, helping him and his family get through this with their prayers.

00:30:11.060 And, uh, all the people that have, uh, reached out, uh, to help them in a really difficult time.

00:30:17.800 Uh, so thank you so much for doing that.

00:30:20.460 I know we've been able to depend on this audience for sanity for such a long time.

00:30:24.520 It's been such, such a luxury that I don't think most people are able to have.

00:30:29.080 And we've seen this happen to us over and over again in our tough times that the audience has always rallied around.

00:30:35.540 And we do, I sincerely really appreciate it.

00:30:39.280 I know Glenn really appreciates it.

00:30:41.660 Uh, you can read, uh, his post up on his Instagram page.

00:30:45.940 Uh, obviously Glenn Beck is the thing he'd search for and you can, you can check it out there.

00:30:49.240 But, you know, real, real tragedy and, and I'm sure he'll give you more on it as we go into next week.

00:30:54.500 And he returns on Monday to the program, uh, to go through all the craziness that is going on in the rest of the world, uh, today.

00:31:01.420 And there's plenty of it, plenty of it.

00:31:03.380 Yeah.

00:31:04.440 Uh, some of it coming, uh, directly from the administration, actually.

00:31:09.100 Um, during an interview last week with NPR, transgender, uh, Rachel Levine, who is the deputy, deputy?

00:31:19.240 Secretary of, uh, assistant secretary of, uh, health and human services, uh, and transgendered, obviously, said bills banning young people from accessing drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries, such as elective double mastectomies, as well as bans against males competing in women's sports are all really challenging to see.

00:31:41.040 She said, she said, I don't see it as a political issue at all.

00:31:45.260 I view this as a health equity issue.

00:31:49.240 It's about fairness and equality and about specifically health equity, which is part of my portfolio.

00:31:57.180 So I don't see any risk in terms of politicization of this issue.

00:32:02.860 Uh, pretty amazing.

00:32:05.760 Um, especially when you consider, you know, that we're talking about kids as young as three and four years old making this decision.

00:32:14.380 And according to the American College of Pediatricians, which has reported that experts on both sides of the issue pretty much agree, 80 to 95% of children with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, quote, accepted their biological sex by late adolescence.

00:32:35.460 Up to 95% of them, who feel like, you know, they're trapped in a different gender's body, don't feel that way then, uh, by the time they've gone through puberty.

00:32:48.660 Uh, and that research has been really consistent over the years too.

00:32:53.800 It's just shown the same thing over and over and over again.

00:32:56.140 Up to 95%.

00:32:56.500 So, so, so you're going to chance a four-year-old or an eight-year-old or a 12-year-old making that decision that affects the rest of their life, uh, and, and just make that change when all evidence shows that if you just, you know, help them through that time period, that they're going to accept their, their gender as it is.

00:33:20.440 Yeah, interesting too, because this is, you'd, you'd think, okay, why is the left doing this?

00:33:25.100 They're doing their typical promotion of LGBTQ issues or whatever.

00:33:29.480 In reality, it's not that simple because what the research shows over and over and over and over again is that the people you're talking about, the 80 to 95% who decides, you know what, I'm okay being in this type of body.

00:33:44.140 Most of them, the vast majority of them turn out to be gay adults. 0.60

00:33:47.780 So, they're actually using the T to crush the G and the, and the L. 0.97

00:33:54.060 Which is a really interesting aspect of this.

00:33:56.160 Yeah, it really is.

00:33:57.700 That's exactly what they're doing.

00:33:58.700 We, we, there's a poll that came out recently about how many transgendered people there are in the country.

00:34:03.040 And now there's, they, they are claiming now there are more transgendered people in the country than there are lesbians in the country.

00:34:09.720 Which seems completely against all evidence.

00:34:14.680 Yeah.

00:34:14.900 But that is what they're trying to claim is true as far as polling goes at this point.

00:34:21.580 And so, it seems as if, quite directly in this case, they are encouraging children who would turn out to be gay adults to transition to another gender so they are transgendered instead of gay.

00:34:34.120 Which is, but at least they get, I guess then they're heterosexual.

00:34:40.160 Right?

00:34:41.520 That's a great one.

00:34:42.600 So, okay, let me take this out here for a second.

00:34:44.520 So, you are a, you're born a boy, again.

00:34:47.100 Okay.

00:34:47.620 Yes.

00:34:48.060 Now, the whole thing about being born this way is gone.

00:34:51.460 The whole Lady Gaga song is now like a conservative talking point.

00:34:56.520 Because you can't be born this way if you have to get hormone treatment and surgery.

00:35:01.320 Right?

00:35:01.500 Like you're not, you weren't born that way.

00:35:03.140 Right.

00:35:03.340 Right?

00:35:03.640 You have to get all these gender confirmation surgeries to adjust the way you were born because you were not born the way you were supposed to be born, apparently. 0.50

00:35:11.880 So, born this way is dead.

00:35:13.520 Take it off the album.

00:35:14.600 Ban it.

00:35:16.060 Make her change to the name of the song.

00:35:17.840 If she performs it again, boycott her. 0.88

00:35:20.980 Okay?

00:35:21.680 Born this way is dead.

00:35:23.500 But if you're born, let's just say, let's use old speak here for just a second.

00:35:27.960 Okay.

00:35:28.180 If you're born a boy, and you later on say, you know what, I'm actually a girl.

00:35:32.240 A girl.

00:35:32.740 Okay?

00:35:33.440 Mm-hmm.

00:35:34.100 And you have, and then you have the surgery to become a girl, and then you like boys, you are a heterosexual girl.

00:35:45.820 You would think so, yeah.

00:35:46.860 Right?

00:35:47.840 A heterosexual woman with probably a Y. 0.94

00:35:52.360 W-O-M-Y-N. 1.00

00:35:54.280 But you're a heterosexual woman at that point, right?

00:35:58.540 And the spelling of woman is really important there.

00:36:01.360 It is.

00:36:01.900 Yeah.

00:36:02.080 It really is.

00:36:03.260 It tells you something.

00:36:04.920 It really is confusing, and I think the issue, the confusing aspect of it is a feature, not a bug.

00:36:12.540 The reason that it's confusing is because if you're depending on logic and what people understand to be reality, another report I was listening to was talking about the same issue and talking about transgender athletes.

00:36:27.180 And they actually said there's no evidence that a boy who says they're a girl and says their identity is a girl and plays in girl sports has any advantage over girls in sports.

00:36:40.240 You're just denying science at that point.

00:36:42.100 You're just denying reality.

00:36:44.180 Reality, common sense, science, everything.

00:36:47.260 Yeah.

00:36:47.420 We went over a couple of these examples the other day, how Serena Williams lost to the 204th-ranked tennis player in a blowout in the middle of her prime, 204th-ranked men's tennis player.

00:36:59.880 Didn't Venus and Serena play a doubles team and get blown out as well? 0.99

00:37:04.740 Yes.

00:37:05.020 That were men.

00:37:05.840 Yeah.

00:37:07.040 They got killed.

00:37:08.300 What was the high school soccer example?

00:37:11.100 The U.S. women's soccer team, number one in the world, by the way, came to Dallas to train, and they played a local Dallas 14- and 15-year-old team.

00:37:22.700 I think they were 13-14 or 14-15, one of the two, and lost 5-2.

00:37:28.120 Which is a blowout in soccer terms.

00:37:31.800 It's basically like in football, 800 to nothing.

00:37:34.500 That's a similar score.

00:37:35.440 These teenage boys, like what, maybe 8th grade, 9th grade, maybe freshmen, blew out the U.S. women's national soccer team.

00:37:46.180 It's just, it's so far beyond the need for evidence.

00:37:51.660 Everyone just knows it's true.

00:37:54.980 We are so far beyond.

00:37:56.940 Well, it's why there is a WNBA. 1.00

00:38:00.520 If women could compete with men, would there be a WNBA? 1.00

00:38:03.620 No.

00:38:03.920 No.

00:38:04.320 No, there would not.

00:38:05.000 Of course there wouldn't.

00:38:06.920 They'd just be part of the NBA.

00:38:09.440 And look, you know, if this ends and there being no WNBA, at least something good came out of it. 0.73

00:38:15.020 Because at that point, at least we had something that came out of it.

00:38:21.840 A friend of mine texted me the other day.

00:38:24.920 He said, I just turned on the women's final four.

00:38:26.660 And the announcer says, UConn, just 4 of 19 on layups tonight.

00:38:32.420 On layups?

00:38:33.420 On layups.

00:38:34.540 Oh, man.

00:38:34.980 If you're 4 of 19 on layups.

00:38:37.460 I don't know.

00:38:38.880 I'm not sure what to tell you.

00:38:40.360 I'm not sure what to tell you.

00:38:41.120 That's not to say that, look, some of these, you know, female athletes are amazing. 1.00

00:38:45.080 They're doing incredible things.

00:38:46.300 Certainly things that I couldn't do.

00:38:47.820 It's not to say that women are worse athletes than all guys. 0.97

00:38:51.700 If you have some fat guy like me who's going to come in here and can barely run 100 yards in 14 seconds and probably collapses 75 yards through it, yeah, you're going to be able, you know, the prime, they make these dumb analogies.

00:39:08.100 Like it's the old tennis matchup, the famous one back in the day in the 70s where you had Billy G King and, you know, beating up on like an 80-year-old guy. 0.89

00:39:21.700 It was like, oh, women can beat men. 1.00

00:39:23.580 Look at this 80-year-old guy play tennis.

00:39:25.480 He can't quite keep up with the world's number one.

00:39:27.980 It's like, all right.

00:39:29.020 I mean, yeah.

00:39:30.740 And by the way, Bobby Riggs had beaten, I think Billy G King was number two at the time.

00:39:35.400 Yeah.

00:39:35.860 And he had beaten the world's number one.

00:39:37.780 He had beaten Margaret Court just months before that. 0.90

00:39:41.720 And there is some speculation that.

00:39:43.380 The guy was what, 63?

00:39:44.800 That Riggs literally did not want to win.

00:39:47.200 Yeah.

00:39:47.500 There was some speculation.

00:39:49.100 Whether it was true or not, we don't know.

00:39:50.520 But again, it doesn't matter.

00:39:51.700 The point is he was far beyond his prime at the time.

00:39:55.260 Yeah.

00:39:55.840 And a lot of this he seemed to be doing for hype reasons.

00:39:59.800 You know, I mean, there's been movies made about this now.

00:40:02.320 And that's at least what they indicate.

00:40:04.880 That maybe this is more about hype than it was about a real competition between the two.

00:40:10.000 But I mean, still, this is something that you don't.

00:40:13.860 There are some claims you don't even need evidence for.

00:40:16.260 Some would call them self-evident.

00:40:17.880 We used to be familiar with this concept.

00:40:21.140 You know, you can look at every piece of evidence and everyone knows.

00:40:25.960 Everyone knows men and women are built differently.

00:40:28.500 That's why they break them apart to compete in sports separately.

00:40:31.700 To take a person who is a boy and then they identify, as Ellen described it famously, gender identity is more like a feeling you have in your head.

00:40:41.300 Well, if the feeling you have in your head changes, that doesn't change the fact that you're a lot faster than the people you're competing against.

00:40:48.040 And is it such a white like they keep coming. 1.00

00:40:50.800 They fall back on this.

00:40:51.760 Well, it's not a widespread problem.

00:40:52.960 Do I believe that most boys who, you know, who are trying to compete against women, right, girls, are going to transition their gender to win a high school event?

00:41:10.240 No.

00:41:11.320 It's going to be incredibly rare that anyone would ever do that, right?

00:41:15.380 That is not what we're talking about.

00:41:17.420 What we're talking about is the fairness of the competition for the girls.

00:41:24.020 The girls are, it's unfair to them. 1.00

00:41:28.220 I'm not talking about the person who's transgendered here.

00:41:31.760 I'm talking about the other people competing, the women. 0.92

00:41:34.460 You know, the group that you used to care about? 0.98

00:41:37.120 You know, if you're on the left, the group you used to say needed rights, the group you used to say you actually gave a crap about. 0.99

00:41:43.740 Well, now you're throwing them in the trash. 1.00

00:41:44.960 We already discussed this hour how you're throwing gay people in the trash. 1.00

00:41:49.060 All of these groups that used to be favored now are in second and third and fourth and fifth place. 0.98

00:41:54.520 And they're losing all of these battles to the L's and the G's and the B's and the T's and all the other letters that get thrown in there.

00:42:00.540 This is, it's not a, it's not a sane way to run a civilization.

00:42:04.800 You have to be able to have a broad agreement on what facts are.

00:42:10.020 And I just, I, this week has been just this eye opening, maybe to another degree, where this idea that you can just say things you know are not true and act as if everyone else who doesn't agree with you is insane.

00:42:31.700 We see so much of that so often.
