00:00:00.260
Hey, podcasters, it's Glenn and Stu, and we've got a good show for you today.
00:00:04.500
Of course, we're going to start it with some offensive things.
00:00:08.920
Sorry, I didn't even give you a trigger alert on that one.
00:00:16.140
And that's supposedly triggering people as well.
00:00:18.700
I mean, imagine the life you have to live when everything triggers you
00:00:23.760
But, you know, finally we are getting some positives
00:00:32.260
Beto is positive that Americans are just ready to give up their guns.
00:00:38.480
because Americans are just going to buy into this
00:00:42.760
Also, it is 9-10, September 10th, the day before.
00:00:49.520
A date that changed America, and we're going to be talking about that a lot.
00:00:53.020
Also, Dennis Prager, he's got a new movie out called No Safe Spaces.
00:00:59.260
And, of course, he just came back from Washington, D.C.,
00:01:03.140
where he was testifying in a hearing about Google.
00:01:06.800
He stopped by our studios in Dallas to talk about that,
00:01:12.000
You know, San Francisco just banned the word offender and addict
00:01:29.920
while changing convicted felon to justice-involved person.
00:01:38.780
Good thing they're on top of the important things
00:01:40.120
and not, you know, keeping poop off their streets.
00:01:42.520
When you ban words, you can no longer define right and wrong.
00:01:48.420
It's just as bad as any book-burning in history,
00:01:54.500
Patriot Mobile was created to give conservatives a voice,
00:02:08.800
Thousands of people in this audience have switched.
00:02:16.140
to a brand-new Moto Z3 Play for only $5 a month.
00:02:20.000
It includes a 6-inch screen, expandable storage,
00:02:25.320
Switching is made really easy with Patriot Mobile.
00:02:31.860
This is the only phone company that is run by vets,
00:02:39.780
and they donate it to things like freedom of speech
00:02:46.020
Your phone company right now is probably in bed
00:03:10.280
to go and help stand for the things that you stand for.
00:03:46.180
But you'll notice nobody was triggered by that.
00:04:28.620
Now, there's two stories here I want to give you.
00:05:52.740
and it's a very, very traditional English meal.
00:06:54.380
I don't think they know, but it still seems weird.
00:06:58.400
I do talk to them about what a delicious burger
00:07:01.500
You're like the mean farmer in a Charlotte's Web sequel.
00:07:09.740
but I also want them to be hamburger at some point.
00:07:22.340
while our culture in the West is telling people,
00:07:28.000
I mean, I mean, you know, you wouldn't want to say that,
00:07:31.260
but I mean, you know, you could say conservatives in peas
00:07:33.960
and a lot of people would be, okay, that's fine.
00:07:54.740
You're torturing them just a little bit, right?
00:07:59.020
They want you to be more cruel to the meat you're eating.
00:08:16.240
look, global warming's coming to keep everybody alive.
00:08:25.300
There is not anyone within the sound of my voice
00:08:51.440
First of all, they're somewhat salacious, right?
00:09:12.980
Later today, I'm having children in mac and cheese.
00:09:33.320
Well, we were finding out in a trial in California
00:09:36.120
that apparently there's suppliers all over the place
00:09:38.260
if you go to Planned Parenthoods around America
00:10:23.420
are you familiar with this wonderful organization?
00:10:26.200
They are, I would say, largely responsible for the Beto thing.
00:10:48.660
and kind of made him into a little pseudo left-wing celebrity
00:16:23.680
We couldn't tolerate Bill Clinton's cheating on his wife
00:51:31.540
I I want to when I wrote this, I wanted a peasant
00:51:44.180
Will this make sense to a rural Chinese person?
00:51:48.200
Because that's why I call it the rational Bible.
00:51:50.580
It either has something to say to everyone or it has
00:51:56.580
And the number of people who have said, you know
00:52:07.740
Nobody writes a Bible commentary to get wealthy.
00:52:19.300
No, because that's where this country is rooted
00:52:35.100
from the guy who was his preacher in in Illinois,
00:52:39.200
who said back in early 1850, he would come and he
00:52:46.500
He knew the gospel and he knew the Bible better than I did.
00:52:56.120
He he may not have been your average churchgoer.
00:53:05.840
So no safe spaces is coming out at the end of October.
00:53:09.260
Adam Carolla and I are this quote unquote stars.
00:53:12.320
But I give I give all the credit to the to the terrific
00:53:17.060
You sound humble, but I should let you know that Dennis
00:53:35.600
God God gave me a very short attention span in order to be
00:53:41.340
I turned I turned the deficit into a plus because I remember
00:53:52.380
And I said to myself while I'm talking, Dennis, you're boring
00:54:03.920
It's about what is happening to free speech on campuses.
00:54:14.120
Because you're you're you were targeting those people who were there.
00:54:19.400
We have a thing on Brett Weinstein, for example.
00:54:28.700
And he one day they announce all whites should leave campus for a day.
00:54:35.840
And you you want people will see what happened to this man in this movie.
00:55:16.500
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:55:19.180
Dennis Prager is going to be on television with us tonight.
00:55:31.720
We're going to go over some of the movie with him.
00:55:33.640
But also, I really wanted to talk to him about the changes that he is seeing.
00:55:37.780
If any, he lives kind of, you know, in the Los Angeles area.
00:55:43.360
I've seen people who have never voted for a Republican who are now quietly saying,
00:55:48.640
oh, I will vote for Donald Trump over these crazy people.
00:55:54.040
And they don't they don't really even notice it.
00:55:57.680
The crazies, you know, did you see Jim Gaffigan when he was on Joe Rogan's podcast?
00:56:11.020
Being friends with conservatives, listen to this.
00:56:13.520
And it is weird because like six years ago and I did this interview and I talked about
00:56:19.580
it and and I could see the interviewer go, you're friends with someone that works at
00:56:24.520
Fox and I'm like, yeah, you know, it's like it's OK.
00:56:33.120
He's not killing, you know, he's not putting children in cages.
00:56:40.820
He interviewed Trump about my family and his family going on vacations together.
00:56:48.380
Like it's it's it's this strange thing where I'm like, I can understand how important these
00:56:56.960
beliefs are and I can understand how threatening democracy is and I can understand how we have
00:57:06.780
But it's like the discourse has to remain, doesn't it?
00:57:14.000
And I think that's one of the things that kind of died with the Trump election.
00:57:17.780
People were like, you're with us or against us.
00:57:19.980
You're either for him or you're for the future and compassion and caring about everyone or
00:57:27.020
you're a monster and there's no there's no discussion about finances or the best way
00:57:43.260
And that is the same thing that they criticized about W saying you're either with us or against
00:57:49.980
that says, which, by the way, being a father of daughters, you know, is also a line from
00:58:05.840
There's a lot of people that are conservative that are very good people.
00:58:09.360
That's I, you know, here's another thing that I find very frustrating.
00:58:14.780
I feel as though I'm sometimes and sometimes I'll get messages on social media and they'll
00:58:21.820
be like, you know, that some of the people that like your comedy are Trump supporters.
00:58:29.840
I hope that I appeal to a lot of different people.
00:58:37.100
Like, I remember the success I had and I'm so grateful for the success that I've had
00:58:46.160
I remember like I came back to New York after I had done this tour and you don't know with
00:58:53.400
And I came back and I remember someone reading an article.
00:58:58.340
And they're like, he's very mainstream, mainstream.
00:59:02.040
And there was recently a New York Times article.
00:59:08.780
Do you mean like conventional in that people want to go and see me perform?
00:59:16.960
Jim Gaffigan, I will tell you, it's weird to hear that.
