The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 4⧸8⧸21

00:00:00.000 All right, welcome to the podcast. Today, it's Pat and Stu. And for Glenn, Glenn is expected to be back on Monday. He'll give you an update on everything going on with him. That's coming up in here in a few days. Today, we talk about Joe Biden and quite a bit today because he is in the middle of they've let him out of the basement. He's making multiple speeches here this week, including he made one yesterday on spending and infrastructure. Everything is infrastructure. Now you need to know that anything that they want is infrastructure. We'll get into that and the details of his ridiculous speech.

00:00:29.980 He also has another one coming up today on guns. We touch on that as well. The border situation is is it a crisis? It's a crisis for America. Is it a crisis for the Biden administration, though? That's another question. And we look at kind of the catastrophe going on in Brazil right now. It's really, really ugly there. And Deshaun Watson, we touch on as well. Probably not the right phrasing for that particular story. So check out the podcast today. Subscribe, rate and review if you wouldn't mind. 0.67

00:01:21.660 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:35.500 Yesterday, there was I Joe Biden didn't used to infuriate me quite as much as he does now. I mean, he's always irritated me, but it wasn't like listening to Barack Obama, for instance. It is now.

00:01:51.660 I mean, I think he's bought in completely to Marxist theory now. He's just a he's a naked Marxist like the rest of them now. And maybe that's just everybody in leadership in the Democrat Party. Maybe they've all just caved in.

00:02:05.620 But it's agonizing to listen to this infrastructure stuff, as well as the poor being fleeced. Here he is. Todd, did you see much of this speech yesterday?

00:02:18.800 Not much of it. No, I try to avoid and keep my sanity. But it was as the clips I've seen were as agonizing as you'd expect.

00:02:26.940 He's trying to justify spending two and a half trillion dollars right now. And five percent of that is going to infrastructure to actual infrastructure. So now everything's just infrastructure. Yes.

00:02:39.120 Everything is infrastructure. That was the Kirsten Gillibrand. Yes. Construction yesterday.

00:02:43.580 She got bludgeoned for that. You know, just basically saying, oh, well, health, you know, elder care is infrastructure. Right.

00:02:52.120 OK. So is it? He's listing all things. No, just saying their infrastructure, which now the left has has decided to say anything they believe is important is in infrastructure.

00:03:04.420 Anything they want equals infrastructure, which means that infrastructure has no definition. It's just right.

00:03:12.880 It's just as far as policy goes, it's just everything. But that's what they do. Right. They just what they want when they're up against it.

00:03:19.260 They just change the definition of words. Everything that opposes them is racist, for example.

00:03:24.380 So she got hammered with that a little bit yesterday. Somebody tweeted out.

00:03:28.920 Yeah. Your mom and my ass are infrastructure. Right. 1.00

00:03:34.080 I love that. And Gillibrand's a bit of a dummy. 0.98

00:03:37.300 Like, of course, you know, she's you could tell when in the campaign when she was pressed and people were actually paying attention to her, 0.62

00:03:43.060 which was not does not happen at any other point in her career, he realized she really doesn't have much going on.

00:03:50.780 This is not a this is not a Democratic rising star.

00:03:53.600 This is someone who was able to luck into a seat based on circumstances in a very blue state and doesn't bring much to the table.

00:04:02.540 Anyone who would think that's a good idea to tweet obviously is not not exactly a thinking person.

00:04:09.400 The lights are on, but nobody's home. Yeah. And the lights aren't always on.

00:04:12.840 Yeah, that's true. That is. You should point out the lights there.

00:04:15.460 There's problems with the lights. There's a short.

00:04:17.660 It's not all they're not always on, but there's never anyone.

00:04:21.240 There's rolling blackouts. It's an abandoned cabin in the woods.

00:04:24.260 Yes. And occasionally the lights kind of come on.

00:04:27.300 Maybe it's a really bad, badly placed solar panel keeping the lights on.

00:04:31.980 It's under a lot of shade. Yep.

00:04:33.660 Maybe occasionally a streak of light hits that solar panel, keep the lights go on for four or five minutes that night.

00:04:39.100 But that's about it.

00:04:40.020 But because they're trying to sell this tax increase to pay for this two and a half trillion dollar bill,

00:04:46.160 which wasn't it two trillion just a week ago?

00:04:48.620 Yeah. Now it's two and a half.

00:04:49.600 Two and a half already.

00:04:51.260 Well, this is what happens, though.

00:04:52.440 By the time they're done with it, I'll bet you it'll be three.

00:04:54.900 Yeah, it'll be three trillion.

00:04:57.660 So here is Biden trying to convince us that the poor are being fleeced.

00:05:02.360 We're going to raise the corporate tax rate.

00:05:05.420 It was 35 percent.

00:05:07.660 35.

00:05:08.400 For the longest time.

00:05:10.220 That wasn't good.

00:05:11.620 Which was too high.

00:05:13.260 Yes.

00:05:13.720 Barack and I thought it was too high during our administration.

00:05:16.120 Did you?

00:05:16.800 We all agreed five years ago that it should come down somewhat.

00:05:21.460 But the previous administration reduced it all the way down to 21 percent.

00:05:25.040 Oh, my gosh.

00:05:25.760 What I'm proposing is that we meet in the middle.

00:05:29.260 Huh.

00:05:30.100 28 percent.

00:05:31.260 Right.

00:05:32.360 28 percent would still have lower corporate rates than any time between World War II and

00:05:37.760 2017.

00:05:39.720 Positive for a second.

00:05:40.340 Well, generally.

00:05:40.880 If you can.

00:05:42.040 We're not competing with ourselves from the past.

00:05:44.820 No?

00:05:44.840 What we're competing with is the rest of the world.

00:05:47.660 Well, no.

00:05:48.140 There's some companies, though, that were like, we were thinking about taking the 1965 tax rate

00:05:52.840 from the United States and executing that.

00:05:55.660 Yeah.

00:05:56.020 They're not allowed to do that?

00:05:57.000 No.

00:05:57.280 They could do that, I guess.

00:05:59.340 Yeah.

00:05:59.720 You know, if a Belgian company wanted to increase their corporate rate to what ours was in 1965,

00:06:06.920 they could.

00:06:07.680 It just wouldn't be intelligent.

00:06:10.680 What we're competing with are companies who are paying 15 percent corporate tax rates.

00:06:17.640 I mean, ours has traditionally been one of the highest, if not the highest, corporate tax rate in the world.

00:06:24.040 And we're supposed to be capitalists.

00:06:25.780 We're supposed to be free market people.

00:06:28.680 And so this argument is just completely unrelated to the problem at hand. 0.95

00:06:37.460 It's ridiculous.

00:06:39.040 And this really does put it's not as high as 35, as he points out.

00:06:42.420 But 28 would still put it right back up at one of the highest in the world again.

00:06:46.420 Yes.

00:06:46.820 We would have the same problem.

00:06:47.640 And you'd probably lose corporations again because of it.

00:06:50.360 Yeah.

00:06:51.140 It really is unfortunate.

00:06:52.100 I mean, the 21 percent income tax rate showed real signs of making these companies grow.

00:07:01.460 And it did seem to induce a raging economy before the coronavirus hit.

00:07:08.580 Now, did it have enough time before COVID for us to know the full impact of it?

00:07:12.860 I don't know.

00:07:13.520 I mean, I don't even know what we knew that.

00:07:15.340 Remember, these are long term plans.

00:07:17.040 And this is the biggest sin of this overall in that companies can't plan for the stuff because every two years, then the new administration comes in and starts screwing with these rates.

00:07:29.200 Companies can't plan.

00:07:30.160 They don't want to deal with one of the big one of the big upsides of having your company in America supposedly is stability.

00:07:37.160 Right.

00:07:37.400 Right.

00:07:37.780 A lot of companies are willing to pay a little bit higher rate because they realize, OK, this is a stable country.

00:07:44.000 They understand that capitalism is important.

00:07:46.220 And they're the people who kind of brought it to us.

00:07:48.140 So they're not.

00:07:48.500 It's not going anywhere.

00:07:49.420 Well, that's not the case anymore.

00:07:50.880 I mean, they can't look at this country fairly and honestly and tell their shareholders, oh, there's no big deal.

00:07:56.360 This is fine.

00:07:57.260 You have people who are who have the entire zeitgeist of the left, people like AOC, who are basically begging for capitalism to go away completely.

00:08:10.860 So you no longer have that sort of stability.

00:08:14.700 These are not these are not fringe members.

00:08:17.060 These are the people leading the media coverage on a daily basis.

00:08:21.140 And obviously, you see with the spending that's going on right now, they've had real impact.

00:08:25.680 We've talked about this before, but Barack Obama was terrified of getting to one trillion dollars on his big plans, including Obamacare.

00:08:35.580 They did everything they could to lie and say it was under a trillion dollars because they were terrified of what the American people would think.

00:08:41.680 That fear is long gone.

00:08:42.700 It's long gone.

00:08:43.460 Yeah.

00:08:43.800 Two, three, four.

00:08:44.940 I mean, just we just said two trillion to two, two and a half trillion.

00:08:48.900 Listen, that's almost the entire stimulus bill from Barack Obama.

00:08:53.660 Just that just the change we didn't notice in the last week.

00:08:57.200 Like, oh, it was two trillion dollar package.

00:08:59.020 Now it's a two point five trillion dollar package.

00:09:00.820 I mean, that's two thirds of what Barack Obama wanted to spend for the big bailout and infrastructure spend back in in 2009.

00:09:13.680 There's no shame anymore in this stuff.

00:09:16.360 It's just print, print, print, spend, spend, spend, you know, new restrictions, new seemingly unconstitutional laws and rules.

00:09:25.280 No one seems to care right now.

00:09:27.100 And he had a lot more to say about it.

00:09:29.280 We'll generate over a trillion dollars in taxes over 15 years.

00:09:36.500 Why would you?

00:09:37.200 A new independent study put out last week found that at least 55 of our largest corporations lose the very,

00:09:44.140 you use the various loopholes to pay zero federal tax income tax in 2020.

00:09:50.020 So dishonest.

00:09:51.780 It's just not fair.

00:09:53.700 It's not fair to the rest of the American taxpayers.

00:09:57.640 We're going to try to put an end to this.

00:10:01.360 Not fleece them.

00:10:04.880 28%.

00:10:05.360 Of course.

00:10:06.660 If you're a mom and dad, a cop, firefighter, police officer, et cetera, you're paying close to that in your income tax.

00:10:16.640 I've also proposed the global minimum tax, which is being proposed around the world for U.S. corporations at 21%.

00:10:23.000 We tell you what that means.

00:10:24.780 20 pun percent.

00:10:26.700 Pat, 20 pun percent is the wrong percentage.

00:10:29.260 I think it is, too.

00:10:30.060 I think it is.

00:10:30.740 20 pun percent.

00:10:31.680 Yeah, I don't even know what to say about 20 pun percent.

00:10:35.180 Yeah, I feel almost speechless of my commentary on 20 pun percent.

00:10:40.020 I don't know exactly how to.

00:10:42.420 It feels wrong.

00:10:43.560 But other than that, I can't describe why it's wrong.

00:10:46.000 So here's what he's proposing then.

00:10:47.420 Wait.

00:10:48.260 Okay, so you're raising the corporate tax rate to 28%.

00:10:51.460 Now you're going to also add a 21% global tax?

00:10:55.440 Is that what he's saying?

00:10:56.360 Well, a minimum tax.

00:10:57.560 A minimum.

00:10:58.580 21%.

00:10:59.020 21%.

00:10:59.680 The idea being that everyone else needs to raise their rates.

00:11:02.260 Who administers that? 0.82

00:11:02.660 Right.

00:11:03.160 Who administers the global tax to every corporation in the world?

00:11:08.080 There is no such entity.

00:11:10.340 There's no entity that can do that.

00:11:12.020 Right.

00:11:12.460 I mean, and the concept is, it's basically a confirmation of what we were just talking about.

00:11:19.940 They know.

00:11:21.300 That we're going to lose corporations.

00:11:22.600 These countries keep lowering their rates to get companies to go there.

00:11:27.020 Yep.

00:11:27.480 So we need to, what if we stopped the competition?

00:11:30.220 It's like basically saying like McDonald's wants to charge $5 for their Big Mac.

00:11:33.820 And they're like, what if we propose a global fast food burger price?

00:11:38.480 You can't go under $4.85.

00:11:40.820 Well, then they'd be really competitive, I guess.

00:11:42.840 Right?

00:11:43.120 Because they'd only be 15 cents more.

00:11:45.320 And we'd still be more.

00:11:47.020 If Burger King is forced to charge $4.85 for their, yes.

00:11:50.440 Now you're not going to lose that many customers to Burger King.

00:11:53.260 Right.

00:11:53.620 They're not going to, the cost isn't going to be an issue.

00:11:56.140 And that's what he's proposing here.

00:11:57.480 It's completely, it's embarrassing.

00:11:59.600 And it's unconstitutional, I'm sure.

00:12:01.540 And it's also, well, I don't know if it's unconstitutional because it seems like it's

00:12:04.740 just a big, they're just hoping everyone does it type of thing.

00:12:08.620 It's like, it's not like we, we certainly can't implement it on these other countries.

00:12:12.260 Through the G20 though, they're going to try to force it.

00:12:14.280 They're just going to try to force it through.

00:12:15.480 So now we'll see how that, we'll see how the structure of that comes down.

00:12:19.800 But did you also notice the sleight of hand at the beginning of that clip?

00:12:22.960 When you do one of these bills, have we not been around for a while here?

00:12:26.680 When you do one of these bills, you talk about how much it costs and how much taxes are going

00:12:30.600 to be raised in 10 years.

00:12:32.520 Right.

00:12:33.000 Right?

00:12:33.440 Yes.

00:12:33.720 Why is he talking about how much it's going to raise in 15 years?

00:12:36.720 Well, the reason for that is he knows, he even knows with his crappy projections,

00:12:41.240 they can't get this to work by saying 10 years of taxes will pay for it.

00:12:45.360 So what they have done is they're talking about 15 years of taxes to pay for eight years

00:12:51.060 of spending, 15 years of taxes to pay for eight years of spending.

00:12:55.340 Therefore, it's quote unquote paid for.

00:12:57.440 It's so disingenuous.

00:12:59.840 That is incredible.

00:13:00.940 And you'll hear, I mean, that's why he's talking about 15 years because that is legitimately

00:13:06.120 in the bill.

00:13:07.280 They know they can't pay for it.

00:13:08.900 So they're just going to screw with the year.

00:13:11.720 They're going to keep the cost on the board for 15 years and the spending on the board

00:13:16.740 for eight years. 0.99

00:13:17.360 Now, as we all know, as if we're complete idiots, at the end of that eight years, all 0.99

00:13:24.280 of these things are going to be extended. 0.97

00:13:26.400 So you're going to get 15 years of spending and you're going to, 15 years of taxes won't

00:13:31.640 cover it.

00:13:32.680 15 years of taxes only covers eight years of spending.

00:13:34.880 So then we're going to have to raise taxes again.

00:13:36.860 And they're telling you this in advance.

00:13:39.300 And not at the end of the 15 years, but before that is.

00:13:41.240 Oh, yeah.

00:13:41.760 After eight, they'll ask for another tax hike.

00:13:44.260 The second they can is the real answer.

00:13:45.960 The second they can get them raised, they'll do it again.

00:13:47.920 And they'll just go, look, we have this great thing and it did so much good.

00:13:50.900 But, you know, the Republicans wouldn't let us go to 35%.

00:13:54.460 They said it was too high.

00:13:56.060 Wait a minute.

00:13:56.480 Did you say it was too high, Joe?

00:13:58.220 They'll just forget about that.

00:13:59.400 Oh, he won't remember that.

00:14:00.540 Yeah.

00:14:00.720 I mean, he doesn't remember it now, let alone in eight years.

00:14:02.940 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:17.000 Hey, we're being warned by a top scientist not to try to contact intelligent life out

00:14:23.000 there.

00:14:23.120 You know, we're getting ready to send out a telescope that, you know, it's like the

00:14:29.980 Hubble telescope, except I believe it's a hundred times more powerful than Hubble is.

00:14:35.800 And we've seen way out into space with Hubble.

00:14:39.400 So they're sending this one deep, much deeper into space.

00:14:42.900 I think about a million miles from Earth.

00:14:44.760 And then it's it's then it's a hundred times more powerful than Hubble.

00:14:50.000 So they expect to see some amazing things and maybe be able to contact other intelligent

00:14:56.520 life.

00:14:56.980 But this scientist is warning against it, saying, yeah, you might just be inviting our overlords

00:15:04.500 to the planet.

00:15:05.840 So maybe don't do that.

00:15:09.140 I I why would the telescope be the problem?

00:15:12.900 I mean, if we were firing lasers randomly into space, you know, nuclear missiles just kind

00:15:18.160 of throwing them, throwing them out there.

00:15:19.460 I could understand that maybe a telescope.

00:15:22.360 Are they going to be that?

00:15:22.880 I'm not sure if it's if it comes equipped with some sort of, you know, a signal as well.

00:15:29.840 Sure.

00:15:30.200 That it can send out a signal that, hey, we're here and we're looking around for friends.

00:15:33.500 We'd like to have some friends in the galaxy.

00:15:35.380 If there are overlords, though, they probably would know we're already here.

00:15:38.820 So is he saying that we're going to alert them and they'll be like, oh, we need to become

00:15:41.460 overlords of those people.

00:15:42.520 So, yes.

00:15:43.260 OK.

00:15:43.600 That, hey, oh, there's somebody else out there that we haven't taken over yet.

00:15:47.540 So let's just go do that now and take care of it.

00:15:51.220 I personally don't think that would be an issue.

00:15:53.940 I mean, if you know, we've had all these sightings of UFOs over the years, we haven't

00:15:59.940 been destroyed yet.

00:16:00.820 And you would think if they can get from their place to ours, they've got technology that

00:16:05.260 we can't even fathom and they could have destroyed us a good long time ago.

00:16:09.140 I don't know what they're waiting for, if that's what their intent was.

00:16:12.580 I mean, look at us.

00:16:13.200 We're begging for it.

00:16:14.500 You know, have you seen the way we act?

00:16:16.520 What more do you have to do?

00:16:17.420 What more do we have to do to be destroyed?

00:16:20.580 Yeah.

00:16:21.200 So anyway, this will be in place by May of 2022.

00:16:25.520 So be afraid.

00:16:27.040 Be very afraid.

00:16:28.340 Well, I will say if it works out, one thing we will know for sure is its infrastructure.

00:16:33.600 Yes, it is.

00:16:34.620 We know that.

00:16:35.760 Very important part of our infrastructure.

00:16:37.760 Yes.

00:16:37.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:16:54.180 So Biden has come under an intense pressure, supposedly, from gun safety advocacy groups

00:17:00.120 and Democrats to fulfill his pledge to tackle gun control.

00:17:05.160 He said he was going to do it on his first day, on the first day in office, on the first day.

00:17:12.440 And he didn't do it on the first day.

00:17:14.240 So now he's going to take, apparently, six executive actions on guns and gun control.

00:17:22.400 The first is to propose a rule within 30 days to stop the proliferation of ghost guns.

00:17:31.880 Now, are you familiar with ghost guns?

00:17:33.440 I'm not, I don't know what that is.

00:17:35.220 You don't have a ghost gun of your own?

00:17:36.900 I don't.

00:17:37.960 So ghost guns, basically.

00:17:39.340 Is it a gun you can't see?

00:17:41.400 Yeah.

00:17:41.600 Did you ever see Space Ghost?

00:17:42.060 It's only there in spirit?

00:17:43.880 Yeah.

00:17:44.020 Do you remember Space Ghost?

00:17:44.920 Yeah.

00:17:45.220 Space Ghost had ghost guns.

00:17:47.620 Oh, okay.

00:17:48.900 Now, they're, and they're not just guns that only work on ghosts, either.

00:17:52.540 People thought, you know, like the Ghostbusters packs.

00:17:55.060 Yeah.

00:17:55.400 It's not that.

00:17:55.880 It's not that either.

00:17:56.540 Ghost guns are basically like, to summarize, I guess, people building their own guns, right?

00:18:03.560 Like, so that you're able to buy components of a gun, put them together because they did

00:18:08.660 not go through the traditional manufacturing process.

00:18:10.280 So they don't have a serial number.

00:18:10.820 They don't have a serial number.

00:18:11.860 There, there's no reason you need one in that particular circumstance.

00:18:15.900 And it goes everything. 0.94

00:18:17.280 Most, I mean, to act as if this is a problem in our discourse is ridiculous.

00:18:23.840 It's like, it's a very small, small, I mean, small. 0.87

00:18:26.440 Do you want to build a firearm?

00:18:28.120 Again, people who are, there are a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this, right?

00:18:32.580 It's not just like, you know, criminals.

00:18:34.620 There's a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this.

00:18:36.980 There's a lot of people who just enjoy guns that really like doing things this way.

00:18:41.420 It's like building your own, you know, kitchen table, right?

00:18:45.680 Like there are people who, that doesn't make any sense to me.

00:18:48.700 There are machines that are building those for me.

00:18:50.940 Why would I go through that process?

00:18:52.280 But some people really get enjoyment out of it.

00:18:54.820 So they do it that way.

00:18:56.120 That's the overwhelming majority of people with, with this type of situation.

00:19:00.160 You know, it also goes to, obviously could be criminals who can't get guns other ways,

00:19:05.840 could theoretically make it happen this way.

00:19:07.800 There's been a couple of shootings where it appears ghost guns are involved.

00:19:12.900 Again, getting a gun in this country is not really a problem.

00:19:17.020 If you're, even if you're a criminal and we have a border that's open basically for business.

00:19:20.760 So people are, guns are flowing over the border all the time and going to criminals all the time.

00:19:26.060 A lot of these murders happen because drug dealers are able to buy illegal guns

00:19:30.040 from other drug dealers and gun dealers.

00:19:32.200 So it's not as if these laws will affect that type of thing.

00:19:36.500 It's, it's just one of those things that I think a lot of people would look at on his face and say,

00:19:40.540 wait a minute, there's no way to trace this.

00:19:43.180 There's no, there's no serial number.

00:19:47.720 This should just not happen.

00:19:50.080 This should not be a thing.

00:19:51.580 And I look, it's, it's one of those things that I think connects with the average person

00:19:55.180 who's never used a gun, right?

00:19:56.880 Like, it seems wild and crazy.

00:19:59.500 We just live in a country that has a second amendment to the constitution,

00:20:03.300 which clearly states you are not allowed to infringe on these rights.

00:20:08.680 So even I said the same thing, by the way, just as strongly about Donald Trump's ban on bump stocks,

00:20:16.920 which was blatantly unconstitutional, blatantly.

00:20:21.240 And by the way, has now been already overturned in the courts.

00:20:23.500 Because you can't just say you want these things to stop, and then they stop.

00:20:31.160 That is not our constitutional system of government.

00:20:34.840 You can't just be like, you know what?

00:20:35.920 I don't want our ghost guns.

00:20:37.920 Therefore, we will not have them.

00:20:40.000 I don't want bump stocks.

00:20:41.840 Therefore, we should not have them.

00:20:43.900 That's not a thing in this country.

00:20:46.200 But it is okay to ban, like, the weapons of war that are made only for death.

00:20:50.560 That are made specifically for one purpose and one purpose only, and that's to kill people.

00:20:56.320 That's not what they're used for.

00:20:57.680 The assault weapon ban.

00:20:58.960 That's okay, right?

00:21:00.260 No.

00:21:00.920 Definitely not.

00:21:01.800 I mean, he's not even going to try that by executive order.

00:21:04.260 No, he's not.

00:21:04.720 It seems like, Pat, because, I mean, the ghost gun thing has had a lot of attention, which is kind of silly.

00:21:10.200 Does that include the...

00:21:11.500 What was the process, you know, where you copy the gun?

00:21:15.520 It's the...

00:21:16.160 Oh, 3D printing?

00:21:16.940 Yeah, the 3D printing.

00:21:18.120 Does it include 3D printing of guns?

00:21:20.040 That's a good question.

00:21:20.740 I don't know the answer to that.

00:21:21.760 Because our gun guy, I think, would be really upset about that.

00:21:24.340 You know, in whose conception, under what paradigm.

00:21:26.740 Right.

00:21:27.100 Remember that?

00:21:27.840 I'm just resisting.

00:21:28.780 What am I resisting?

00:21:29.860 I don't know.

00:21:30.440 The collectivization of the manufacture.

00:21:32.240 The institutionalization of the human psyche.

00:21:34.460 I'm not sure.

00:21:34.960 I'm not sure.

00:21:35.380 But I can tell you one thing.

00:21:36.540 Yeah.

00:21:36.780 This is a symbol of reversibility.

00:21:38.140 They can never eradicate the gun from the earth.

00:21:40.180 Yeah.

00:21:40.500 What about that?

00:21:41.580 What about that, Stu?

00:21:43.100 I hadn't thought about that in a while.

00:21:44.580 I know.

00:21:45.100 What was the human psyche thing that happened there?

00:21:47.440 The institutionalization of the human psyche.

00:21:49.740 It's been institutionalized.

00:21:51.420 Do you want your psyche to be institutionalized?

00:21:53.720 I don't think so.

00:21:55.160 He's resisting that.

00:21:56.280 He thinks.

00:21:56.800 He's not sure.

00:21:57.480 But he thinks he is.

00:21:58.480 Classic clip from the Glenn Beck program, by the way.

00:22:00.320 Yes.

00:22:00.900 With the guy who did the first 3D printed gun.

00:22:03.660 It's been a while since we played that one.

00:22:05.240 It's been a while.

00:22:05.880 But it's a classic.

00:22:07.080 You know, I don't know if it covers those or not.

00:22:10.080 That's a good question.

00:22:10.920 I mean, you know, I'm certainly no gun.

00:22:12.900 I would think it does qualify, because obviously they wouldn't have a serial number, right?

00:22:17.340 So, I wonder if that qualifies.

00:22:19.580 The other thing they're going after are these, similar to AR-15s, you can get these guns that

00:22:26.320 have certain attachments on them that basically, that are called, that are technically pistols.

00:22:32.340 So, they are regulated under those rules, but feel a lot, look a lot like an AR-15.

00:22:42.120 Now, at one point long ago, I had one of these.

00:22:45.860 It was lost in a terrible boating accident.

00:22:49.620 Oh my gosh, what a coincidence.

00:22:51.140 Yes, it was a terrible, oh my gosh.

00:22:52.620 The same thing happened to me.

00:22:54.060 Yeah.

00:22:54.540 I can't remember what lake I was on or ocean.

00:22:56.980 I can't either.

00:22:57.720 But it was a big body of water, I remember that.

00:23:00.280 And it was super, super deep.

00:23:02.080 It's the deepest lake that I could have ever seen.

00:23:04.180 The deepest lake I've ever heard of, or ocean.

00:23:06.800 And I didn't, it was so deep and so immense that I didn't even try to go get it.

00:23:12.580 I just let them sink to the bottom and they've been gone ever since.

00:23:16.520 A terrible, terrible tragedy.

00:23:17.860 Terrible.

00:23:18.800 Of gun loss.

00:23:20.340 But it left me without my AR-15, that's all I know.

00:23:23.220 And these are pretty cool.

00:23:24.340 I mean, they're really nice.

00:23:25.820 Again, an AR-15 is, one of the great things about it is, as a legal gun owner, if you need

00:23:31.900 to hit something, you're able to hit it, right?

00:23:34.920 Like, that is the benefit.

00:23:36.580 Be like, oh, why would you need an AR-15?

00:23:40.360 I don't know.

00:23:41.620 Because unless you're firing guns all the time, you're probably not going to be incredibly

00:23:45.580 accurate with a handgun.

00:23:47.100 Unless you're really the type of person who's going to the range constantly, it's a lot easier.

00:23:52.560 And especially for a woman who may be defending yourself against a larger man, maybe stopping

00:23:58.060 power is something you want to think about, right?

00:24:00.620 You know, it's like these people who are so pro-woman just do not want women to be able

00:24:05.840 to defend themselves for some reason.

00:24:08.360 And I'll never understand that part of it.

00:24:11.040 But they're trying to get rid of those.

00:24:12.840 They're basically trying to say, well, these are just skirting the rules.

00:24:15.760 Now, they're not skirting the rules, but that's what they're trying to accuse them of.

00:24:18.600 They're also, he wants to get rid of the stabilizing braces for pistols.

00:24:24.640 So that's what he's doing.

00:24:25.740 That's what that is.

00:24:26.660 Yeah.

00:24:26.880 That's what you're talking about.

00:24:28.620 Stabilizing braces for pistols is their code for the AR-15 lookalike.

00:24:34.760 Really?

00:24:35.140 Because it's technically a pistol, but it looks and feels like an AR-15.

00:24:42.120 And therefore, that's evil.

00:24:44.220 Other actions include directing five federal agencies to make changes to the 26 different

00:24:50.660 programs to direct vital support to community violence intervention programs as quickly as

00:24:56.140 possible.

00:24:56.620 So he's going to do that, too.

00:24:59.360 And then, of course, you know, he had he's going he's apparently going to involve Beto.

00:25:06.800 His guns are and Beto's promise, of course.

00:25:10.020 Hell, yes.

00:25:10.540 We're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.

00:25:13.300 We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.

00:25:17.360 I mean, that's what they want, right?

00:25:19.800 They want to stop all sales of AR-15s and AK-47s.

00:25:24.540 I don't know any Americans who have AK-47s, but, you know, if they do, I'll bet they've 0.55

00:25:31.040 lost them in a boating accident like we did.

00:25:34.220 Yes.

00:25:34.740 You know, I really got to stop boating.

00:25:35.840 I know it's that's the problem dangerous.

00:25:39.060 They keep talking about banning guns.

00:25:40.160 They should ban boats.

00:25:41.360 I keep getting in boating accidents and deep lakes all over the state.

00:25:45.300 And I can never remember what lake I was in.

00:25:48.280 Yeah.

00:25:48.920 I know.

00:25:49.440 It's weird.

00:25:50.060 It is. 0.95

00:25:50.460 It is really ridiculous. 0.97

00:25:51.680 And and there's so little he can do. 0.57

00:25:54.280 The reason why he didn't do this on day one and he waited for month four or three is

00:25:58.600 because he can't actually do these things legally.

00:26:02.660 And what is happening is behind the scenes, people who understand how these things work

00:26:07.140 are telling him over and over again, you can't do these things legally.

00:26:10.600 It's not going to hold up.

00:26:11.400 He's now come to a point where, I mean, half of the things he's doing are what we're going

00:26:15.040 to do is we're going to do an executive order on guns that will tell the states to pass

00:26:19.820 laws on guns, right?

00:26:21.520 Like that's like a lot of what this is.

00:26:23.080 It's a lot of like recommendations to the states, which, again, I would argue there

00:26:26.980 are also going to be unconstitutional, but it's down the road a little bit and they don't

00:26:35.380 they he can look like he's pleasing his base and who knows, maybe they get a couple of good

00:26:39.560 judges and things go through the right way for them.

00:26:42.460 Yeah.

00:26:42.600 And they're a little pissed off at him because he did promise during the campaign that

00:26:46.360 he was going to reinstall, reinstate the assault weapons ban.

00:26:51.000 Again, he he did pledge that he said, we've done it before and we can do it again.

00:26:56.100 And we're going to.

00:26:57.820 Well, no, it was also unconstitutional then, first of all.

00:27:02.320 But beyond that, which is why it was overturned anyway.

00:27:05.400 Well, but would the would the if these things do wind up with the Supreme Court, do you have

00:27:10.120 any confidence?

00:27:10.880 Because I because I frankly, I don't even know if it holds up in the Supreme Court, if

00:27:15.400 the Supreme Court does rule that these things are unconstitutional.

00:27:20.560 I don't have much confidence in him.

00:27:22.880 I have very little confidence in this, you know, in the Supreme Court, though, more confidence,

00:27:26.620 I guess, than I would have at other eras in the past.

00:27:29.420 You know, people look back at the Heller decision, which was the first major gun case that people

00:27:34.860 talk about that really, you know, codified the idea that people could individually own guns.

00:27:40.940 And there's a lot of good in there, obviously did a lot of good things.

00:27:44.020 But really, there's a lot of questionable reasoning in that ruling, which in some ways

00:27:50.980 basically allows any anybody to ban guns almost immediately upon their release.

00:27:58.660 Any new model, anything that's not commonly owned, they could go after and they haven't

00:28:05.200 done all that much of this because I don't think they want that to go to back to the

00:28:09.020 Supreme Court because I don't think that would work out well for them, meaning the left.

00:28:13.600 But it's not exactly the most pro-gun ruling you've ever seen in your life.

00:28:19.220 It did get the basic right for an individual to bear arms, but like really shouldn't have 1.00

00:28:23.660 been a question at all.

00:28:24.840 And the left hates it anyway.

00:28:25.820 And the left hates it anyway.

00:28:26.820 Yeah.

00:28:27.060 So I think like we've seen a lot of cases that have threatened to go to the Supreme Court

00:28:33.140 in recent months, and a lot of them don't get up there.

00:28:37.700 And you got to hope at some point they take some of these and get these laws and rules,

00:28:43.620 you know, really confirmed so that we don't have to keep going back and asking these same

00:28:49.720 questions over and over again.

00:28:51.120 This is what the left does.

00:28:52.960 We've seen this happen over and over again, where they will pass rules that are blatantly

00:28:56.680 unconstitutional.

00:28:57.700 They will get challenged in court.

00:28:58.960 When they get up near the court at the very last second, they step in and they say, oh,

00:29:03.660 actually, we're going to get rid of that law.

00:29:05.480 So the whole thing is moot.

00:29:07.380 And so the court backs off and then they wait three months and they pass it again.

00:29:10.820 A very similar type of rule goes all the way up the courts, repeat and rinse, rinse, wash 0.96

00:29:16.960 and repeat.

00:29:17.520 And that's that's not the way the legal system is supposed to work.

00:29:20.320 Biden's going to try to do a lot of this stuff on his own.

00:29:22.360 I don't think he's able to do it constitutionally.

00:29:25.260 Many of the things he's just assigning to others who will then be overruled because they're

00:29:29.480 unconstitutional.

00:29:30.540 It's a freaking clear sentence. 0.82

00:29:33.340 Shall not be infringed. 0.83

00:29:34.520 There's not a lot of questions there.

00:29:36.100 Doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

00:29:37.900 It doesn't.

00:29:38.420 It really doesn't.

00:29:38.800 And of course, we can go back to all the malicious stuff and all that nonsense that was

00:29:42.400 decided in Heller, but regardless, it is it is clear you're not allowed to be doing these

00:29:47.860 things.

00:29:48.600 You want to you want to be able to do them, modify the constitution.

00:29:51.800 That's how you do it.

00:29:53.220 And you can either repeal the Second Amendment.

00:29:54.860 You can adjust and modify the Second Amendment in some way that pleases you.

00:29:58.640 You cannot just do this while this amendment stands.

00:30:01.400 It overrules you every time.

00:30:04.240 It just does. 0.86

00:30:06.620 You can say there are things you can do that are illegal with guns like shoot people, right? 0.83

00:30:11.520 That's okay.

00:30:13.100 Just like you can say there are the law for a while.

00:30:15.660 Yeah.

00:30:15.840 It's been a while.
