00:03:15.620 it's pat and stew for uh glenn on the glenbeck program 888-727-B-E-C-K

00:03:21.140 uh again yesterday just more senseless killing it's just so hard to process this and really you

00:03:29.260 can't you just can't understand it why that why this happens people gather their families together

00:03:34.620 and show up at six or seven in the morning with their lawn chairs and just try to enjoy a fourth

00:03:40.780 of july parade and then somebody starts shooting at them from from a rooftop i i don't understand it

00:03:47.680 uh apparently this guy was known to law enforcement which we've heard multiple times

00:03:53.840 with these shootings lately uh if they're known and nothing happens i don't what kind of laws are

00:04:02.260 we going to enact that stop this other than reversing our entire system of justice right

00:04:08.820 like we could go with the chinese system where we arrest people when they look suspicious

00:04:11.840 and i will say that you do the future crime thing if you have that report you could do that i mean

00:04:16.600 i will say if we had that law implemented and i saw this guy i would have arrested him because he

00:04:24.100 looks as if he was about to wear a shirt that says i'm a future mass shooter

00:04:28.520 yeah you look at a picture of this guy he looks the part but that's not how our society operates

00:04:35.460 wait you can't just arrest somebody if they look the part yeah no that's not how this works

00:04:39.840 yeah now i don't know if that's been challenged in the supreme court we'll have to look into that

00:04:45.600 i don't know but i will say that this system of justice is better than the chinese one that is 1.00

00:04:54.740 your other option though you can go more and more toward that direction you could start arresting people

00:04:58.580 when they write scary things online or when they purchase a firearm you can prevent them from

00:05:04.120 purchasing a firearm we can move toward that chinese system if we wish now we're gonna have to 0.69

00:05:09.060 amend the constitution a bunch of times to get there so you know it's a lot of heavy lifting

00:05:13.080 for the left but that seems to be what they want here they seem to be able to want to charge people

00:05:18.060 with crimes before they commit them and unfortunately that's not that's not how this works now we may

00:05:22.640 find out you said they were known to police that that's that covers a wide range of things

00:05:28.760 right like it it could mean that this person you know bought the gun illegally because they were so

00:05:34.900 well known to police they were barred from buying one we we may find that out at some point it's hard

00:05:40.180 i will say over the since uvaldi in particularly uh in particularly i i have i have really i've really

00:05:47.120 stopped jumping on the initial details and sort of bandwagon wrong so often wrong so often and you

00:05:54.280 know this is something that people have complained about for a long time the media is terrible

00:05:58.560 oftentimes especially when the police have issues and again i'm a big supporter of the police i think

00:06:05.820 generally speaking they do a very good job but occasionally they don't do a great job and when that

00:06:10.940 happens they tend to leak details to the media that backs up some other narrative that makes them look

00:06:16.280 a little bit better uvaldi being a really prime example of that as they they were the heroes of the

00:06:22.600 universe the day after that and then not so much later on not so much the more we learned the less

00:06:28.780 hero of the universe they seem yeah it really did turn around they almost seemed like the opposite of the

00:06:34.640 heroes it did turn around quickly yeah it did so but i i found myself fascinated watching the coverage

00:06:40.840 of this because every newspaper in america every big news website was talking about this and at some level

00:06:48.580 it's understandable right like as you mentioned it's a terrible tragedy here you are every everybody

00:06:53.840 in this audience probably went out to a fourth of july event in the most innocent way and want to just

00:06:59.160 have a nice time with their family for for a place like this to have that disturbed with you know

00:07:04.320 gunfire from the rooftop of a building from some psychopath it's obviously incredibly notable right it is

00:07:13.060 it's notable and tragic and awful and especially because so many people were going through that same

00:07:17.980 sort of event this weekend we should note that it didn't seem to happen anywhere else this is one

00:07:23.260 event and it was really really bad but the same time that they're talking about six shot or six dead

00:07:30.300 and 30 mid-30s i believe were the injury numbers incredible unspeakable tragedy at the same time

00:07:39.080 in chicago nine people were shot and killed and 57 shot overall yes this weekend in chicago and it

00:07:47.880 happens the strictest gun laws in the country and it happens in both every single weekend yeah every

00:07:56.100 weekend this story comes out that nine dead eight dead 12 dead six dead seven dead every weekend and

00:08:03.880 they don't care about it at all they never mention it they never mention it the only time they ever mention

00:08:11.160 it is because you might bring it up and say wait what about all this violence in chicago so that they can

00:08:16.020 call you a racist right now who's the racist here pat if you seem to care only about the white people at the

00:08:22.360 parade being shot and not about the black and hispanic people in chicago that get shot every weekend who's the 0.97

00:08:27.760 racist here i know i don't think it's us no it is not i actually do care about uh the people who get

00:08:34.360 shot which is why we bring it up yeah we'd rather it not happen right all the time in chicago exactly

00:08:40.060 that would be anywhere else for that matter yes you know there's a lot of cities where they suffer this

00:08:45.360 way every week and every weekend baltimore philadelphia new orleans detroit all of these cities

00:08:54.820 are suffering with this same malady that chicago does to one degree or another and they don't care 0.99

00:09:01.460 about any of it they just keep doing the same democrat policies they just keep restricting guns

00:09:08.680 and it doesn't help at all if it doesn't help in these areas where we see them employed how is it

00:09:16.640 going to help nationwide it's so ridiculous they're going after hundreds of millions of guns that are

00:09:22.980 legally owned by law-abiding citizens trying to micromanage their use instead of going after

00:09:29.300 you know a big a much bigger problem and i think one of the issues here is the reason why we talk

00:09:37.640 about chicago and baltimore and these other big cities is not just because democrats run them into

00:09:43.700 the ground constantly although that i admittedly that's part of it you know part part of it is to

00:09:48.620 highlight how bad these policies are and how well they work in practice which is terrible um but it's

00:09:54.320 not just that it's also that like it's a much more sensible area to focus on like it's really hard

00:10:01.360 to stop one 22 year old to get from getting one gun and going on a rooftop and firing at unarmed people

00:10:11.380 in a crowd like it's really hard to stop that yeah and the only way you stop it is because thankfully

00:10:17.000 most people don't want to do it right you know that's it's just the truth and i mean he's known

00:10:22.920 to law enforcement yep and yet he still got away with doing that right in a state where they have

00:10:29.360 very restrictive gun laws uh-huh and in an area that has very restrictive gun laws and it's just

00:10:35.200 really really hard now that doesn't mean you don't try to stop it obviously we've talked about

00:10:38.920 the mental health aspects uh stopping people with um with criminal histories and mental health

00:10:44.480 uh factors from getting firearms is part of this focus that the the left and the right kind of

00:10:50.880 agree on right like we should we should stop those people from getting guns but like it's really

00:10:56.540 difficult to do that and it's one of those things where you're talking about a an amount of people

00:11:02.940 despite how much coverage it gets that die every year from from these crimes it's almost impossible

00:11:09.980 in a country of 330 million people to try to eliminate that entirely and to make any difference

00:11:18.400 on that number you'd have to eliminate it entirely right like it's not like a crime where you shape

00:11:22.980 if you if you shave 20 off the amount of people who die in mass shootings every year

00:11:27.820 well it would be great and we want to do that but it would make no difference in the gun violence total

00:11:33.920 that we're talking about all the time the way you can make a difference on those numbers are things

00:11:39.920 like suicides right preventing suicides is a is a is a is a really big pool of people who die from gun

00:11:49.660 violence and it's much easier to try to do something about that crime in inner cities is another one

00:11:58.220 that's where almost all this stuff happens almost all of it yet it gets almost none of the coverage

00:12:05.140 and how do you how do you explain that you can if it was the left explaining i can guarantee you what

00:12:13.880 they would say they would say it's racism you only care about the white victims you don't care

00:12:17.520 about the black victims that's what they would say that's what they say about missing kids all the time

00:12:20.780 right yeah whenever there's a good-looking college girl that goes missing man that gets coverage

00:12:25.240 from all the cable news channels but if it's you know an inner city uh a black male they never get 1.00

00:12:30.500 any coverage and you know they say that all the time that would be the explanation for sure

00:12:37.580 if this was the other way around so if the left was the one no question handling this they would be

00:12:43.280 critical of the media and say you don't care about the black victims you only care about the white

00:12:47.280 victims in the in the nice little suburbs who are going to their july 4th events that's what you care

00:12:52.800 about because of the color of their skin now i don't i don't think that that's the the reality

00:12:57.100 here i think you know there is something to do with that sort of crime of spectacle and this big

00:13:03.460 flashy thing but the problem with this is the reason why a mass shooting gets a lot of coverage is also

00:13:10.280 the reason why they keep occurring because these psychopaths want this attention and so giving it to

00:13:17.240 them constantly and we have not mentioned this person's name nor will we giving them constant

00:13:22.820 attention every time one of these things goes down does not help the situation it makes it much worse

00:13:28.560 and it doesn't help our overall problem with gun violence it literally does everything it shouldn't

00:13:34.840 and none of the things it should yet this is the way it happens every time pat and that's why we're

00:13:39.200 not playing his uh diatribe you know the little video he he produced i don't want to give him that

00:13:45.880 satisfaction and that publicity but he does have a rambling weird video that he put out that kind

00:13:53.440 of gave hints to what he might be planning to do here and then he went out and did it but i don't know

00:13:59.400 how you stop it when you see even if you see the video even if law enforcement sees the video can you

00:14:05.160 go arrest the guy because of what he said he didn't clearly say i'm going to go kill people at the 4th of 0.67

00:14:10.500 july parade maybe you could get him on a terroristic threat at that point but that's not what he did so

00:14:17.000 i don't i don't know how you stop him uh even being known to law enforcement unless he's committed some

00:14:23.320 sort of crime right and really what you could do is try to again convert this country into one that

00:14:28.880 that does not have innocence until proven guilt right like that's what you can do right you can try

00:14:34.680 you can move that line now red flag laws attempt to move that line right that's what they are

00:14:38.540 and perhaps if you have some future crimes they're future crimes and perhaps if you had you know like

00:14:43.260 they're going to say well i don't i don't know i don't remember off the top of my head the red flag

00:14:46.700 law situation in illinois uh and i don't know if you know we don't know the details of this anyway i

00:14:51.740 mean whether it was enacted or how it worked we'll know you know within weeks i'm sure but the bottom

00:14:56.660 line is if you have someone who's off kilter and you report them then maybe you could take their guns

00:15:01.660 was this but like again for for how long are you delaying the inevitable here you if you haven't

00:15:09.720 committed a crime all you're doing is delaying it which is good it's better than than you know

00:15:14.740 it's better than not delaying it but their trade-off here of getting rid of our system of justice to

00:15:21.060 attempt these things knowing that 99.5 percent of the people caught up in these red flag laws will not

00:15:27.400 have done anything i mean they're just going to be you're going to be essentially punishing people

00:15:31.440 for nothing in almost all cases that's how this works and you the farther you go down that line

00:15:38.140 the farther you go down the reversal of the relationship between innocence and guilt the

00:15:44.720 closer you get to places like china and you can do it lots of countries do it you can go live in one

00:15:51.480 of them they're they're wonderful flights are pretty expensive right now but you can get there

00:15:56.620 i wouldn't recommend it i have a friend who went overseas this past weekend and they're still doing

00:16:02.540 it was the first leg of this flight was eight hours and then there was another five hour and another

00:16:08.120 three hour i think after that it was you know they're going to like africa for some something that

00:16:11.740 i'll never do and uh i was thinking to myself oh my gosh that sounds terrible and then i heard they have

00:16:16.780 to wear a mask the whole time oh they're still masking on these international flights really can

00:16:22.220 you imagine i can't i can't imagine so like 13 hours 15 hours no on a mask no no and then by the

00:16:30.860 way an eight hour layover someplace in an airport where they also have to be masked the whole time

00:16:36.260 oh my god can you imagine no no i can't do it i can't no i can't do it i won't do it no i will

00:16:42.000 i mean i wouldn't do it without the mask a massive price for that too oh my gosh i can't even imagine

00:16:48.160 so congratulations like mount kilimanjaro or something and it's like jeez that's probably

00:16:53.040 an amazing experience to talk about when you come home and i gotta say i think most of the questions

00:16:59.180 are gonna be about the flights yeah not about the mountain all right

00:17:02.780 888-727-BECK

00:17:06.940 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:17:14.320 pat gray stuber gear pat and stew for glenn this week 888-727-BECK something that uh happened that

00:17:31.520 can't happen because it doesn't happen anywhere but here uh there was a mass shooting in copenhagen

00:17:37.740 uh which is not in this country i don't know if you're aware of that but copenhagen

00:17:44.240 is not in the united states not copenhagen texas no it's not copenhagen denmark and uh six uh three

00:17:52.140 people were killed multiple people shot and wounded at a mall in copenhagen so i i think somebody's lying

00:18:01.000 there because it doesn't happen in other countries it only happens here as it did again on the 4th of

00:18:08.260 july of course uh and there was another shooting interestingly but it involved police shooting a

00:18:16.040 suspect yeah i just have to mention here on the denmark thing because people will say

00:18:19.560 well yeah one shooting one how many have you had in the united states 264 this year alone oh and we

00:18:30.020 have to get into that because that's really a frustrating part of it is because now i'm getting

00:18:34.540 sidetracked but like the chicago shooting right what they love to do is ignore the fact that nine were

00:18:42.040 killed and 57 shot in chicago uh separate from the mass shooting that happened at the in the in the

00:18:47.540 suburbs they want to ignore that and only talk about the mass shooting but they get to have things

00:18:53.220 both ways because then they will include multiple incidents from chicago over the weekend and call

00:18:58.640 them quote-unquote mass shootings and insert them into this number they keep building which everybody

00:19:04.620 who's looked at knows is ridiculous but they keep doing it anyway because they so they get the best

00:19:10.220 part of both worlds they get to blame guns for the incident and build their mass shooting numbers

00:19:15.620 while completely ignoring that their own cities and their own policies are the places all these

00:19:19.420 things are occurring yes it's fascinating and really places with the strictest gun control in the

00:19:24.440 country yes like chicago fascinating um by the way uh six million people in denmark okay there's six

00:19:32.420 million we have 330 million so we have what 60 times almost as many people so in theory if all else was

00:19:40.940 equal which it's not if all else were equal you would expect to hear uh about a shooting in denmark

00:19:51.360 approximately 160th of the amount of time right so when you do this and they do this all the time

00:19:59.060 they lean on things like for example new zealand's per capita deaths from mass shootings are higher than

00:20:05.260 hours because they've had like three or four really bad ones despite the fact that they have taken guns

00:20:13.220 from their citizens they have nothing not only did they ban them they took them from those who had

00:20:17.540 guns and the thing you're talking about is probably the after the christ church shooting which was this

00:20:22.860 really terrible one that happened a couple years ago but they did the same thing after the previous

00:20:27.480 mass shooting which christ church was after right they took away tons of guns the first time too

00:20:33.680 right so you know i we went through all this if you go to uh stew stew does uh america on youtube

00:20:39.580 that we did a gun special we went through all the mass shooting numbers and and showed all this data

00:20:43.780 just to show that like because these things i'll be honest do feel like they happen a lot here and

00:20:49.820 it sucks it really does it feels i mean i talk to people who are big second amendment supporters

00:20:54.440 and aren't talking about taking guns away but still just gosh i can't believe this is happening what

00:20:58.880 we do about it and that is a legitimate conversation we should do something whatever we can within the

00:21:04.700 bounds of the constitution and our law and our traditions we should we should do something um on

00:21:10.020 the other hand we do have to realize you do not need to be terrified every time you go to a fourth of

00:21:15.800 july parade like just statistically your chances your chances ever think of how many people yesterday went

00:21:22.680 to this parade i mean like this is a kind of a crazy probably had 20 parades just in the metroplex

00:21:28.920 right oh yeah at least and nothing happened at any of nothing happened in any of them right

00:21:32.420 uh you know your chance if you went to let's say there's i don't know i'm throwing up i did this

00:21:37.240 with schools because this is the real number for schools but there's 150 000 schools in the united

00:21:42.900 states 150 000 the fact that you can name three incidents from the past you know 10 years at

00:21:51.840 schools from sandy hook to parkland to uvalde are the three now obviously there have been other

00:21:57.360 incidents in between but they've you know smaller states were the three massive scale incidents

00:22:01.880 over a decade with 150 000 schools it number one highlights how impossible it is uh to stop right

00:22:12.320 how do you stop three incidents over a decade in 150 000 schools where kids are going to these

00:22:19.100 schools 180 days a year it can happen on any at any of these schools on any of these days so

00:22:25.240 finding and stopping an incident like that is really really hard it's you know you can make it worse by

00:22:32.280 some of the actions that it looks like the police did not take in uvalde but like to actually stop it

00:22:38.300 is really difficult sometimes they do and they do stop some of them um but

00:22:42.260 the same thing is with these fourth of july parades then think about the actual parade

00:22:45.780 how many people went to that parade probably 5 000 10 000 we do have we have six people dead which is

00:22:53.040 horrible and i can't it's hard to overstate how terrible it is but it's also important to put in

00:22:59.740 perspective even if you went to the parade your chances of being shot were very low yeah and even

00:23:05.360 if you got shot it seems like about 80 percent of people survived so i mean like it's important to

00:23:13.120 put that stuff in perspective it doesn't make it any better for the families it doesn't make it any

00:23:17.180 better it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop it but it is important to to keep things in

00:23:21.780 perspective and not live your life in constant terror which is what the media seems to want you to do

00:23:26.580 yeah you know like the chances these things happening to you are much lower than you getting into a

00:23:31.280 terrible car accident like i there are other things to worry about that are much more prominent

00:23:37.080 um i went like three steps off of where we were going there uh we were talking about the

00:23:41.820 copenhagen are we are we have we settled on copenhagen now because that's what i want i'm

00:23:46.560 staying on i'm not going to copenhagen call it copenhagen all you want in the mainstream media i'm not

00:23:51.080 going there but it's true that like yes they have fewer events in denmark than we do but that's also

00:23:59.080 partially just because they don't have a lot of people they also don't have a lot of racial strife

00:24:05.260 in denmark because they're all they're all the same race yeah they're they're all white people who 0.94

00:24:11.600 have lived there for 75 centuries and honestly like it's so cold at times you can understand why

00:24:18.560 like people are just like look i don't want to go there going outside let alone shooting anybody i'm

00:24:23.540 not doing it exactly yeah so there's a lot of aspects that go that go into that there was another

00:24:28.520 shooting and again this is the same type of thing where the media tries to convince all black people

00:24:33.580 that they should be terrified of police because they are out on the hunt for you all the time this

00:24:39.420 is what police do they wake up in the morning they have donuts this is the one thing we know about

00:24:43.540 police officers they have to have donuts and after they have donuts they walk around looking for black 0.88

00:24:48.140 people to shoot at the streets for no particular reason this is the narrative we get from the media 0.88

00:24:53.040 all the time this is what they do so there's a case in akron and they had a um the guy's name

00:25:00.780 was uh javon jaylen walker and jaylen walker was uh was going to be pulled over for a traffic stop and

00:25:08.420 of course the narrative is to just give you the summary in case you don't know the story

00:25:11.780 and you wanted to read a media story guy um was unarmed black man running from police

00:25:20.240 was shot at about 60 times by police by police and you know what this should not happen over a traffic

00:25:28.540 stop pat no it should not have no that's right no it should not and it shouldn't i would agree

00:25:33.500 you in fact you are the king of traffic stops you've been pulled over 15 000 times since you moved 0.93

00:25:37.560 to texas it's never happened to you why because you're white white that's the only reason i'm white 0.73

00:25:41.920 now i assume you did all the things that jaylen walker did in this particular story and you just 0.99

00:25:48.380 they just at the end said oh gosh pat gray you're so silly i can't believe you just drove away from us

00:25:53.920 like this but like so what happened was let me tell you this sounds familiar to you and the way you 0.91

00:25:58.880 deal with police incidents yeah when you get pulled over okay known speeder pat gray uh jaylen walker

00:26:06.060 gets pulled over for a traffic stop he then was he speeding uh i don't know if he was speeding

00:26:10.300 honestly on that part of the story but he decides he feels apparently for some reason things might not

00:26:15.820 go well now maybe he's guilty of a crime yeah maybe he's just terrified of police officers i don't know

00:26:21.980 yeah but he decides to uh leave and not pull over and run from police in the car so he's driving

00:26:30.440 away from police okay then he eventually gets surrounded by police cars pulls over again and

00:26:36.520 then leaves again somehow escapes the situation and once again so far this is really familiar i've done

00:26:42.080 this okay i don't know probably 15 20 times and never been shot never been shot amazing that white 0.89

00:26:47.160 skin really gets you out of those problems and so he then escapes from cops uh while he's driving

00:26:52.920 he fires his gun out the window now when it's logical when you are being chased by police and you

00:27:03.200 fire a gun out the window yeah you have escalated this beyond just running from the police you have

00:27:11.700 now fired a weapon out the window now we to give the disclaimers here this is what we're told uh you

00:27:18.720 know from the police this is their justification right so we should be skeptical over these things

00:27:25.200 as people are you know should be treated with skepticism as we saw in uvalde right like at times

00:27:30.780 you have to make sure sometimes they don't tell the truth however in this particular case there's no

00:27:35.160 indication that they know the driver is black at this point and the officer says it while they're

00:27:41.580 driving okay he just fired a gun out the window uh we've shot we have a shot fired this is before

00:27:46.520 they've even had an interaction with him so it would be really hard to come up with a situation

00:27:51.200 in which like they don't even know he's black yet and they're planting this information before they

00:27:58.180 even see him before they like it's just it would be too much for any reasonable conspiracy theory but

00:28:04.060 i'll allow for the possibility anyway because you never know in these situations eventually he gets

00:28:08.800 out of the car decides to run from police he gets out of the car on foot runs from police

00:28:12.360 then turns around back toward police and they shoot him a bunch of times now for some reason

00:28:17.980 the focus of the story is how many times they shot him once dead does it really matter how many times

00:28:26.680 you've been shot i know from watching many many movies pat that you watch the movie and you they

00:28:33.440 shoot the bad guy and then they all start celebrating and hugging each other while the bad guy gets up

00:28:37.660 slowly in the background when when you use a firearm like that's what you're trying to disable 0.87

00:28:42.920 the person who may be trying to kill you and the police after seeing this guy already fire a weapon

00:28:48.880 seemingly at them kind of had an indication he may be violent right so when he turned to them they fired

00:28:55.260 him they hit him a bunch of times i mean look if they shot him and he was dead and then they walked

00:28:59.360 up to him and shot him a thousand more times there would be criticism to to be uh put on the police

00:29:05.960 officers though it wouldn't change the outcome it wouldn't make it more tragic he was already dead 0.76

00:29:10.560 well but then he was mega dead maybe then he was mega mega doppler dead mega doppler dead yeah wow

00:29:16.900 that's that sounds and that's that's bad that's bad yeah you don't want that but like there are times

00:29:23.760 where math comes into play here and let me walk people through the math if they're not familiar with

00:29:28.380 this particular level of calculus when they shot they did not they but that that's the argument from

00:29:32.960 the lawyer he was unarmed at least that's what they're saying he was unarmed well an unarmed guy

00:29:37.800 firing a weapon out the window i don't that doesn't compute to me okay here's the math of the

00:29:44.360 situation though this is advanced level calculus pat if you do x y in x and y z often occurs if you run

00:29:53.000 from police if you fire weapons at police if instead of falling down on the ground and putting your hands

00:30:00.600 behind your back you turn back toward police during a chase oftentimes you will get shot

00:30:06.640 yeah the color of your skin is not material to that equation and be well disproportionately look

00:30:12.800 at the actual numbers i'm not going to bother breaking them down for you that's a nonsensical

00:30:17.520 argument that isn't true about i mean this is you know from criminologists an african-american

00:30:23.060 criminologist who went through the numbers and said actually it looks like white people are more

00:30:26.720 likely to get shot at these incidents so don't don't even bother with that nonsense but the bottom

00:30:32.340 line is you can't you should not do those things the police may have acted improperly maybe we will

00:30:38.180 find out they didn't fire a weapon and they had some big conspiracy against this guy if that's true

00:30:42.420 obviously none of this applies but either way you don't run from police you don't turn back

00:30:47.940 toward them when they are asking you to get down on your knees you certainly do not fire weapons

00:30:52.860 out them out of a speeding car was that a chris rock uh sketch at one time i think you're right

00:30:59.480 i think he talked about that i think you're right i'm not going to use the words he used yeah uh to

00:31:04.860 recreate it oh but yes i think you're right yeah you know and you might look into that and listen to

00:31:10.120 that for pretty good safety tips you know he was being funny but it was a good safety tip what he was

00:31:16.420 trying to tell everybody um you know just don't act like that don't run from police don't shoot at

00:31:24.780 police and then chances are better that you're not going to get shot yeah you might not eliminate

00:31:29.480 every single bad outcome because sometimes police do act terribly sometimes they just act inappropriately

00:31:36.380 and wrong i'm not based on race but just yeah handle a situation terribly or poorly or maybe they're

00:31:41.700 corrupt or maybe they're violent who knows it does happen but you're going to eliminate

00:31:46.200 99.9 percent of the stuff you are if you just don't act like that 888-727-BECK

00:31:52.380 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program

00:31:54.280 you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program

00:32:11.700 Gavin Newsom apparently uh preparing himself to run for president of the united states he's of course

00:32:26.180 governor of california right now and it looks like he's got uh some ambition to maybe be the president

00:32:32.580 you know and i up until this point uh we asked many times like who do they have their benches

00:32:40.920 so bad uh they've got nobody uh what are they going back to hillary al gore uh richard gephardt

00:32:50.040 maybe richard gephardt can be their nominee still it's still richard gephardt still still richard

00:32:55.820 probably their best guy on their bench but you know if if you're not gonna run the president

00:33:00.700 the incumbent if he's not gonna run uh kamala harris is not really appetizing to democrats i don't

00:33:09.660 think but gavin newsom maybe it might be uh he might be the one that they turn to uh anyway he's

00:33:17.740 starting to run ads in other states including florida here's what he uh ran in florida it's

00:33:24.520 independent state so let's talk about what's going on in america freedom it's under attack in your

00:33:29.720 state the republican leaders they're banning books making it harder to vote they're restricting

00:33:34.620 speech in classrooms even criminalizing women and doctors criminalizing women what the hell 1.00

00:33:40.600 is a lie it's a lie or join us in california but we still believe in freedom freedom of speech

00:33:45.680 sure to choose freedom from hate and the freedom to love don't let them take your freedom

00:33:51.700 oh i can't take it this is fascinating take it as a tactic uh now gavin newsom is terrible

00:34:00.800 yeah he is a he's been a terrible governor for the state of california and has done an awful job

00:34:06.140 there and what's fascinating about it is he you know this is a he's not good at really i don't 0.61

00:34:11.540 think he's good at anything i guess he's good at you know sleeping with his friend's wives other than

00:34:17.520 that i don't know what he's good at i mean he's famously disobeying his own orders during a pandemic

00:34:23.180 oh yeah he's good at that he is good at that he's good at that he's good at that good again some good

00:34:26.920 restaurant reservations uh when when no one else is allowed to have them but he's able to do that

00:34:31.840 books what the what books did they ban in florida they didn't ban any books they made it so that you

00:34:39.280 couldn't discuss uh alternative sex or any sex or any sex for that matter to first graders in first

00:34:48.060 grade in first grade through third i think it was yeah kindergarten through third i think it was 0.87

00:34:51.980 jeez come on i mean it's so ridiculous banning books restricting speech making it harder to vote

00:34:58.520 really no they're not let's go to delaware and find out how hard it is to vote where they don't 0.92

00:35:02.960 even have early voting they don't even have it you can vote on one day one so so ridiculous and

00:35:11.240 then criminalizing women and doctors nobody is talking about criminalizing women no one well wait a

00:35:16.680 minute i am i am talking about it i i'm talking about it pat i'm gonna be honest with you i am

00:35:22.620 talking about criminalizing women when women commit crimes they're criminals what do you mean criminal

00:35:27.560 they're not criminalized because they're women they're criminalized because they commit crimes now 1.00

00:35:31.960 supposedly an abortion he's trying to refer to abortion and they're you're as you point out pat

00:35:36.420 there's really there was a big article in the new york times this weekend about the four people who

00:35:40.040 are pushing for uh uh you know uh locking away women yeah locking away women who want to have 0.97

00:35:46.280 abortions are there four i i don't know that's what they claim that seems like too many look you

00:35:51.700 know that wow i guess and it's true it's been like because roe versus wade was this big barrier

00:35:56.800 right this big this big thousand foot wall that essentially while we could have these conversations

00:36:03.280 about the nuances of abortion policy you weren't able to implement any of it so it was kind of a

00:36:07.720 non-starter now that wall's gone and so now the pro-life movement which has always had many many

00:36:14.480 shades people who were very very restrictive some people who were just like hey we need to limit it at

00:36:18.720 15 weeks whatever like the pro-life movement has always encompassed a really wide variety of people

00:36:25.300 and opinions on that side of the argument well you're going to see some i think separation there

00:36:30.320 they're going to see some people who are really restrictive and some people who are i think that's going

00:36:34.700 too far and that's going to have to shake itself out in the movement it's why you have different

00:36:38.840 states and different laws again i don't think that's the this particular issue is a good

00:36:43.440 application of our federalism uh and our our tradition of federalism in that i think protecting life

00:36:51.340 is more important than that and i do believe it should be i you know i believe i support and would

00:36:56.600 support and think republicans should pursue a constitutional amendment outlawing abortion

00:37:01.340 i mean it's they're not going to get it through but that doesn't make difference to me should be

00:37:06.820 proposed every single year every single year keep proposing it until somebody does something about it

00:37:11.080 but that being said uh you know you have a a situation here where someone like gavin newsom is

00:37:18.400 going to try to to present this information like it's some terrible thing that's going on in florida

00:37:25.700 when half of his residents moved there yeah you know like the state is emptied out to go to florida

00:37:32.480 and texas and other places last year alone they lost a net 367 000 people yeah to florida to idaho

00:37:41.540 and to texas and the person who should be most excited about that is gavin newsom because those

00:37:46.360 people weren't there to vote against him in his recall right right like if those people had stayed he

00:37:51.280 might not be in office yeah so and it's fascinating what has happened with gavin newsom because of the

00:37:57.520 recall which is a typical dumb tactic by the media and a lot of people are falling for it which is like

00:38:04.580 basically like they are saying gavin newsom strong he he won this his recall election easily

00:38:11.660 is it all that impressive guys that a democrat in california could survive a recall by what is

00:38:22.320 essentially eight percentage points i think it was i think he won 58 42 if i'm remembering right it was

00:38:27.700 somewhere around there and they're like well i won by 16 points yeah but if eight there's only two ways

00:38:32.140 to go so if eight percent of the people change their mind it would have been tied or you know it would

00:38:38.180 maybe tipped over to the recall side now we know the dynamics of that election and that like larry

00:38:43.900 elder who's a guy that we like and he's a good conservative not exactly the flavor of of republican

00:38:49.780 that would necessarily win a statewide election no easily arnold schwarzenegger is a guy who's 0.98

00:38:54.720 essentially a democrat and look i think those guys suck yeah i think arnold schwarzenegger sucks but 0.94

00:39:00.060 he still like that's the type of candidate that may have been able to win there well when he says 1.00

00:39:05.020 screw your freedom yeah that sucks that that's gavin newsom that's a guy who sucks yeah that guy 0.98

00:39:10.660 sucks but like is it all that impressive no like you shouldn't the fact that they were able to come 0.99

00:39:17.240 up with the with the amount of energy against gavin newsom to get the recall done in the first place 0.77

00:39:24.300 it's only the second time in recent history it's happened then you have a situation where that was

00:39:29.560 pretty amazing to start with then he was pushed to the brink yeah by larry elder right who again is a

00:39:35.380 guy i like but it's a talk show host right and his you know and is uh has never served in electric

00:39:41.560 elected office and is also very conservative something that i think would be a real great

00:39:46.180 thing for california but the california voter typically does not agree with and remember just

00:39:51.200 a few weeks before this election it looked as if larry elder really had a chance to win

00:39:56.680 like it was very close polls were showing it only a couple points now he extended that lead by a

00:40:01.140 couple points he did what he had to do in a bad situation you can give him that but like it's not

00:40:07.120 like this was some great achievement here no yeah he won in california a state that had already voted for

00:40:13.580 him he was able to hold on to the election and not get removed from office it's like saying like

00:40:21.000 ah donald trump survived that uh that impeachment vote that's a great you know like that shows he's

00:40:26.600 super strong well i mean it shows he did what he had to do against the impeachment vote but like

00:40:30.620 none of the media was saying oh this shows the strength of donald trump like that's not what

00:40:35.180 happens and what's great in california is they have the freedom to pay seven dollars a gallon for

00:40:41.980 gasoline and about a million dollars for a thousand square feet of home space yeah you know i i've got a

00:40:51.260 1200 square foot home and i have the freedom to pay one and a half million dollars for that i mean

00:40:57.840 it's outrageous what's happening in california you can't afford to live there if you're any kind of

00:41:03.840 if you have any sort of normal salary you're making 50 or 60 thousand dollars there's no way you could buy

00:41:09.180 a home in california yeah you can maybe get a shack you could maybe rent a shed uh but you're not gonna

00:41:16.620 you're not gonna buy a home when you're making 50 000 in california no that's not uh i mean i remember

00:41:24.080 there was a time i don't remember uh this is a while ago but it was if you were making the minimum

00:41:29.640 salary as a player for the san francisco giants you couldn't afford the average home i remember that

00:41:35.740 and i don't know in san francisco in san francisco yeah too expensive too expensive to afford the you

00:41:41.140 would not qualify for and that was mortgage wasn't it a seven or eight hundred thousand dollar salary

00:41:46.560 they were talking about yeah yeah maybe at the time it was six hundred thousand something like

00:41:50.200 that for a minimum it's incredible and we should also point out that gavin newsom when he was mayor

00:41:55.740 of san francisco i referenced it briefly here but it's important to remember how crazy this was he slept

00:42:02.120 with like his best friend's wife oh that's right it wasn't like just some some affair it was like his

00:42:08.520 best friend's wife who he hired under him as a staffer that's right and then slept with the 1.00

00:42:14.500 staffer he's a douchebag oh he's a terrible human being in so many ways and this is probably the 1.00

00:42:20.460 smallest of them who am i to judge i'm just saying he's gonna burn in the fires of hell right yeah you're 1.00

00:42:24.600 not judging i'm not judging you're just saying one little thing about it's just one thing he's going

00:42:28.340 to burn in the fires exactly but like what happened to the me too movement here yeah you know she has

00:42:36.000 come out and said well it's not really me too i was 33 years old i knew what i was doing and like

00:42:42.100 that's an acceptable thing for a republican to say right like a republican the republican side of the

00:42:48.640 argument is you know women actually have agency and can make decisions of their of their own yeah but 1.00

00:42:54.560 democrats have that power dynamic thing yeah that's what they say yeah they say like when you know a

00:43:00.320 celebrity sleeps with some underling uh they say it it can't be consensual because the power 0.94

00:43:07.620 there's a power dynamic there i remember they said that with louis ck when he when he had his

00:43:11.540 situation going on and he you know he was so powerful you couldn't this is not go against his

00:43:16.640 will right couldn't this was their argument like there was some comedian that came out and said like

00:43:20.400 you know his thing was i don't want to get into the details here but his thing was basically uh

00:43:25.580 pleasuring himself while while others watched right yeah again and i think he asked for permission

00:43:31.400 and he asked for permission and they said yes they didn't leave they said oh yeah sure which they

00:43:36.760 could have left which they could have left except for the power dynamic right so they said yes and they

00:43:42.500 sat there and endured this spectacle yeah and the reason why it was a me too violation was because

00:43:49.560 he was a powerful comedian and i guess would control their comedy careers if they didn't say yes

00:43:57.300 which is complete nonsense and wasn't one of them on the phone there was one of those cases it was on

00:44:02.260 the phone there's one hang up yes where the the me too complaint against louis ck was that he was on

00:44:09.460 the phone with her with a woman yeah and she believed that he was uh touching himself while they were on

00:44:16.240 the phone he didn't say he was or or like record like i don't know do you mind i don't know i don't

00:44:25.720 know how to explain this i don't think he did i don't think he got permission on that one no he

00:44:29.580 if he was doing it which we don't know if he was and she didn't know but she see i guess it sounded

00:44:35.060 like he was just again i don't want to think about the details the point being here that their entire

00:44:40.100 complaint for eradicating this guy's career was the power dynamic yeah okay now gavin

00:44:45.980 newsom who is the mayor of san francisco it takes a a direct staffer and sleeps with her which also 1.00

00:44:53.760 happens to be the her best friend's wife was his best friend's wife excuse me kimberly guilfoyle

00:45:00.600 was he married to her at the time no this was i mean i mean you know i don't remember i think he

00:45:06.080 was married at the time too i don't remember i don't i don't remember he was at one point married

00:45:10.580 to fox well former fox uh anchor kimberly guilfoyle okay but which is again strange i

00:45:18.060 people tell me that he's a very good looking man yeah and you know he looks to me like american

00:45:23.860 psycho if you've you know and i guess i guess he was a good looking guy in that movie he did murder

00:45:29.820 a bunch of people too but in part of the charm what are you perfect are you perfect stew

00:45:35.720 you know i'm not i've made my share of mistakes okay well then now none of them happen to be you

00:45:42.460 know putting tarps down in my apartment and brutally slaughtering people while listening to who you 0.78

00:45:46.880 lose in the news really you haven't done that that wasn't my particular mistake but we all have our

00:45:50.940 struggles that's right exactly what i'm saying that's exactly what and gavin newsom has his that

00:45:57.860 may or may not be the same as the character in american psycho we don't know we don't know we're not

00:46:03.200 with him at all times i wouldn't have predicted he'd sleep with his best friend's wife i wouldn't

00:46:07.380 either you know i would not either i would now i certainly wouldn't bring my wife around him now

00:46:12.600 right but back then it would be probably surprising probably was surprising to his best friend who's by

00:46:18.680 the way i don't know if i mentioned he slept with his best friend's wife and who was a direct

00:46:24.180 staffer of his but we should overlook that yeah because of the great job he did on covid question mark

00:46:30.800 well look it doesn't have anything to do with the presidency it doesn't mean he can't be a good

00:46:34.840 president that's right it's his personal life all right it's his personal life the the dining out

00:46:40.700 in the middle of the covid restrictions not really his personal life no no but the girlfriend thing

00:46:45.720 yeah that's personal

00:46:46.780 you
