Summary
Pat and Stu return from their week long hiatus to discuss the latest in the Chinese spy scandal, the NFL, and much more. Pat is joined by Jason Whitlock, who thinks NFL vaccination laws are like the Emancipation Proclamation.
Transcript
00:00:05.080
We also had Jason Whitlock, who talked a little bit about the NFL.
00:00:09.140
He said that he thinks the NFL vaccination rules are going to make stop and frisk look
00:00:19.420
Now, I wish Joe Biden was here to say that's not hyperbole.
00:00:26.560
But unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, Joe Biden is not here.
00:00:35.200
And meanwhile, his daddy decided to let a few things go with the Chinese.
00:00:41.980
We're not going to continue to investigate and press charges against these so-called Chinese spies.
00:00:51.340
Well, it's pretty amazing what the Justice Department has backed off on just in the last
00:00:59.200
All the little investigations that we're going.
00:01:02.540
We'll tell you more about that on today's podcast.
00:01:05.760
And we actually started with a salute to women, because, I mean, if you're a progressive woman,
00:01:15.400
my gosh, you have to love what's going on, because they've made all of your dreams come
00:01:21.540
Welcome back to Mr. Pat Gray, who has been on hiatus and vacation for the last week.
00:01:51.760
In fact, as we were driving through St. Louis, they were reinstituting the mandate.
00:02:09.540
How are the people of Missouri and in Illinois, because you were up in that area?
00:02:20.320
We went all over Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa.
00:02:27.860
We saw more cornfields than you can shake a stick at.
00:02:31.240
And I've been shaking sticks at cornfields for quite a while.
00:02:47.080
Usually in the restaurants, they weren't even wearing a mask.
00:02:49.480
But I will tell you the thing that is going on is the employee shortage at restaurants.
00:02:57.620
Oh, many restaurants completely shut down because they can't get enough employees.
00:03:04.880
It's because they can't get the employee, which might be sort of related.
00:03:11.560
I'm shaking my stick right now to see if that's what it is.
00:03:22.520
So, you know, there's been a lot of stuff going on while you were away.
00:03:26.980
Don't know if you heard, but we're going to be relegated to the ether if we ask questions now that the CDC or the White House doesn't want us to ask.
00:03:44.640
It happened the other day with with Jen Psaki being asked a question she she didn't really like.
00:03:52.840
They're vaccinated here in the White House medical unit for the most part.
00:04:00.060
One, this administration has long claimed that you're trying to get most transparent history.
00:04:04.200
If that's the case, why won't you just release the number of breakthrough cases that you had of vaccinated staffers?
00:04:09.980
Well, I think first we're in a very different place than we were six to seven months ago as it relates to the virus.
00:04:16.980
And as many medical experts have said inside and outside of the government, those who are vaccinated are protected from serious illness.
00:04:25.100
Most are asymptomatic if they are individuals who are vaccinated to get the virus.
00:04:29.780
And, you know, we are in a different place in terms of the impact of individuals who may have, as you said, breakthrough cases.
00:04:39.580
But what is the why do you need to have that information?
00:04:42.100
Cases of transparency in the interest of the public.
00:04:47.600
How breakthrough cases work here in the White House?
00:04:52.800
And she goes on to answer questions that were not related to that one.
00:04:58.720
Why do they need that question under the Trump administration?
00:05:03.240
Why do any of us need any question answered by you?
00:05:16.440
It seems like you make $174,000 a year to answer the questions I ask.
00:05:26.700
Yeah, it's a position that's responsible to the public.
00:05:30.000
The press secretary is supposed to give us information.
00:05:32.440
It's not a campaign official, which is what they've become over the past couple decades.
00:05:37.800
But I mean, she's supposed to, her job is to get information from the White House to us.
00:06:04.320
But, like everything else, it's been completely flipped on its head.
00:06:08.100
And we apparently have no right to any information anymore.
00:06:10.960
It's almost as if everything is inside out and upside down.
00:06:18.180
The goal was to create enough chaos to turn us upside down and inside out so you won't
00:06:32.560
Well, they should put that mask back on because Fauci says they should put that mask back on.
00:06:41.660
Yeah, I'm thinking about wearing my mask in the stores and, you know, any place that
00:06:46.220
says you have a mask, I'm going to wear it and I say, yes, I wear it as a hat.
00:06:50.400
That doesn't, I'm not sure that's exactly what they're looking for.
00:07:00.820
And it stops the satellites that are spying on your brainwaves, potentially deflects some
00:07:15.180
Well, because I thought the tinfoil works as a conducting advice.
00:07:18.880
It's what the government wants you to do to avoid the brainwave detection.
00:07:22.860
That's why they've been pushing it all these years.
00:07:25.000
So, by the way, did you hear the audio of Fauci defending the funding now of?
00:07:42.240
Critics say the Wuhan lab experiments were nonetheless risky, whether or not they fit
00:07:47.760
And obviously, the Chinese government is not a good faith partner.
00:07:55.700
And obviously, going forward, given that the Chinese government won't allow any real investigation,
00:08:00.640
do you still think the U.S. government should collaborate with labs like Wuhan, especially
00:08:07.320
Well, you know, Jake, if you go back to when this research really started and look at the
00:08:14.340
scientific rationale for it, it was a peer-reviewed proposal that was peer-reviewed and given a
00:08:22.960
very high rating for the importance of why it should be done to be able to go and do a
00:08:28.700
survey of what was going on among the bat population because everyone in the world was trying to figure
00:08:35.720
out what the original source of the original SARS-CoV-1 was.
00:08:52.860
So I think if you look at the ultimate back rationale why that was started, it was almost as if you
00:09:01.020
You would be negligent because we were trying to find out how you can prevent this from happening
00:09:07.340
You'd be negligent if you didn't do the research that they didn't do, according to him.
00:09:13.860
But it was all peer-reviewed and watched carefully and monitoring.
00:09:17.720
So, you know, it was done carefully, but we didn't do it.
00:09:20.820
But we would have been negligent had we not do it.
00:09:25.100
Has there ever been a bigger lying sack of crap than Anthony Fauci?
00:09:52.200
It's only about COVID, but it's very broad inside that narrow category.
00:10:00.940
Like, no one's questioning whether, like, this research was started to begin a pandemic.
00:10:06.820
Like, no one thinks that, like, they were like, you know what?
00:10:18.040
But he continually does this and plays these semantic games where, like, they said, okay,
00:10:26.780
And so, hey, let's go through a process to try to justify that this isn't the definition
00:10:51.280
They peer-reviewed their way into being able to do the research.
00:10:58.380
And then they said, how do we get around these guidelines?
00:11:02.920
Then, after it was, quote-unquote, a success, then they had to publish a paper on it.
00:11:11.980
And in it, it said that this was done before, you know, the United States held back the funding,
00:11:21.160
even though we gave back the funding back to them.
00:11:23.800
And it said, but a peer-reviewed review was done by peers.
00:11:30.900
And they looked into it, and this one can continue.
00:11:36.220
So, it was peer-reviewed the whole time and closely scrutinized.
00:11:45.600
It was about, should this continue in the future?
00:11:48.260
He didn't even come remotely close to answer the question.
00:11:50.720
What you need is how many peers of mine have reviewed this.
00:12:17.060
I would accept your apology, but you're white, and so you can never do enough to apologize.
00:12:30.160
Are you still hosting that program called Pat Gray Unleashed, available everywhere?
00:12:33.600
It usually happens, in fact, just about every time right before this show.
00:12:48.740
You know, you could go to the Blaze Radio Television, listen to it there, or anytime, wherever you
00:12:57.900
Usually it costs about $130 to download it, but...
00:13:05.560
This man has gone the extra mile, even just answering a question that shouldn't have been
00:13:26.200
So, I don't know about you, but I love the Cleveland Guardians.
00:13:43.980
My guess is that those involved in changing the Cleveland Indians name said, I can't...
00:13:58.140
Maybe, you know, one of the head guys was out on the bridge and like, you know, Bill's
00:14:02.980
going to kill himself if he changed the name of the Indians.
00:14:20.620
Why don't we call them the Cleveland Guardians?
00:14:35.980
There's another team called the Cleveland Guardians in their own town.
00:14:51.060
It does seem like an important idea to check ClevelandGuardians.com before you name...
00:14:59.880
Yeah, if you think the interwebs have a future, you usually would go to ClevelandGuardians.com,
00:15:10.920
You'd think before you book Tom Hanks to come in and narrate your launch video, you go to
00:15:20.740
Because they had to go and search Cleveland Guardians before...
00:15:28.660
Maybe it was one of these things where the owner of the site was like, screw you guys.
00:15:32.200
If you change the name, I don't want you to have it.
00:15:35.480
And they said, well, we'll name it TheClevelandGuardians.com or whatever.
00:15:40.760
But all I can tell you is, you should probably have control of the website.
00:15:44.960
This is why it's difficult to rename a team now.
00:15:47.440
There's a guy in Washington who predicted, as it turns out correctly, that the world would
00:15:53.080
become much more woke and the Washington Redskins would no longer be allowed.
00:15:56.480
And so, he went out and he bought WashingtonWhatevers.com and came up with a hundred different things
00:16:04.280
Now, what they wound up doing, they couldn't come up with a team name and they've decided
00:16:09.680
to just go with Washington Football Team, which is hilarious.
00:16:19.720
I actually think that one turned out to be brilliant.
00:16:24.160
Now, I would have preferred staying with Washington Redskins because all the complaints about
00:16:28.500
But if you had to change the name, I like Washington Football Team because I'm an NFC East fan.
00:16:40.060
No one on earth calls them the Washington Football Team.
00:16:43.120
They just keep calling them the Redskins because there's no substitute.
00:16:46.880
If they came out with the Washington Guardians, eventually people would transition.
00:16:53.780
They either call them Washington or they say the Redskins.
00:16:57.080
And so, essentially, the team, in a way, has not really been renamed.
00:17:01.480
At some point, the woke left is going to notice this and they're going to make them change
00:17:05.820
I have a feeling that Cleveland, the Guardians, haven't really officially changed their name
00:17:17.920
This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:23.780
With its COVID protocols, the NFL is implementing medical Jim Crow, and Joe Biden loves it.
00:17:37.920
That's from the latest edition of the Blaze podcast from Jason Whitlock, who's joining us now.
00:17:50.140
So, I heard this about the NFL over the weekend, and I'm not qualified to talk about it at all.
00:17:55.300
So, I thought I'd let you and Stu talk about it, you know, for the people who, you know, want
00:18:08.960
Well, to be quite honest with you, Tucker Carlson coined the phrase, medical Jim Crow.
00:18:16.340
A couple of months ago, he was talking about how these COVID restrictions are going to negatively
00:18:21.780
impact black Americans because we are the most reluctant by all the data.
00:18:28.140
All the data says we are the most reluctant to take the COVID vaccines, and we're seeing
00:18:35.880
The NFL has implemented some rules in terms of, even if you're unvaccinated and you breach
00:18:44.720
any of the protocols they set up, including not having your mask on 24-7 whenever you're
00:18:51.120
in the building, you're going to face a $14,000 fine.
00:18:55.100
If your team has some kind of COVID outbreak that involves an unvaccinated player, your team
00:19:01.780
could be forced to forfeit games and paychecks, all of this, all of these restrictions, based
00:19:08.620
on the data and the research and who's getting the vaccines, are going to disproportionately
00:19:19.040
And it's how these COVID restrictions, again, the left loves to talk about, oh, Jim Crow,
00:19:29.240
Look, these rules requiring an ID are going to negatively impact poor black and brown people.
00:19:39.820
I have yet, this whole voter ID deal, it's a victimless crime in terms of, I haven't seen
00:19:47.200
any proof that black people are showing up at the polls and being turned away because
00:19:53.780
Or they're sitting at home, oh, I got no ID, I can't do voter mail or whatever.
00:20:00.800
What actually is legitimate is what's going on with these COVID restrictions.
00:20:06.380
But you won't hear anybody on the left talk about it.
00:20:09.320
So why is it that the black community is the worst at not getting vaccinated?
00:20:14.680
No group of people has been preached to more aggressively, don't trust the government.
00:20:25.360
Stu and I were talking about this this morning and we're like, if you're black, why would
00:20:30.020
You're being told everybody is trying to kill you.
00:20:34.600
And look, there have been examples of the Tuskegee syphilis project that, you know, from
00:20:42.940
the 1930s that really damaged black men and we were basically lab rats.
00:20:49.520
Uh, and so that's part of our history, but again, it's part of our history.
00:20:55.860
What's going on today is corporate media and the democratic puppet masters every day telling
00:21:04.680
black people, man, this government is out to get you.
00:21:11.060
And so it makes perfect sense for black people to say, man, I'm not going to trust an experimental
00:21:19.600
and experimental vaccine that hasn't gone through all the proper normal protocols and
00:21:28.400
channels that vaccines go through before they're issued in mass.
00:21:32.740
It makes perfect sense for us to be the least likely to go get the shot.
00:21:37.660
So why then is the media attacking Trump supporters when that's not, it's not even true?
00:21:45.280
Why are they going after people, um, and not mentioning blacks and Hispanics, which are
00:22:00.460
And they particularly lie about race issues and they want to demonize.
00:22:06.420
Oh my God, there's this Delta variant and it's Trump supporters.
00:22:10.140
And, and again, it's almost like there are two dishonest messages, confusing black people.
00:22:17.800
One is, uh, the government's out to get you and, and they're, they're plotting every day
00:22:25.380
And two is, oh man, these Trump supporters, they're destroying America for you and you must
00:22:34.880
And, and Glenn, I'm just, I'm going to go to my death saying Trump supporters and black
00:22:45.040
Both groups need to wake up and understand we're, we're not the elites.
00:22:51.320
And, and I, you know, it's Glenn Beck is worth a gazillion dollars.
00:22:57.400
I get when people, oh, well, you guys are elites too.
00:23:00.900
Our mentality is an elite, uh, you know, our faith in a higher power makes us humble ourselves
00:23:10.680
And so even though I'm wealthy, I'm not an elite.
00:23:16.800
Well, you know, it, beyond that, I, you know, I don't think it matters when we're all saying
00:23:22.220
everyone should have the same opportunity and shot.
00:23:25.600
I don't like, uh, Donnie Deutsch who came out, can you play this for Jason who came out
00:23:31.160
this weekend and said this, imagine the arrogance to say this on TV.
00:23:34.880
Look, whether it's a mandate, a mask, a mandate, a vaccine is at this point, there is a percentage
00:23:41.040
of the population that who cares whether they're angry or upset about that.
00:23:45.140
This is just, there's 330 million people in this country.
00:23:49.540
And as, and as, as Willie and Alicia mentioned, look, there's, there's been mandates on throughout
00:23:58.340
So I'm done worrying about what people think I'm done worrying about, is there going to be
00:24:04.020
a firestorm, whether it's a mandated mask, whether it's a mandated vaccine, there's an idiot
00:24:08.220
percentage of this population that just needs to be told what to do.
00:24:21.240
It's also a dangerous sentiment when, when, again, that's someone who arrogant, self-important,
00:24:33.120
And it's literally, I promise you, I wake up every day hoping I don't make a fool out
00:24:40.980
And that's my system of checks and balances to make sure that, that I act normal.
00:24:45.760
I just don't have that superiority gene that Donnie Deutch seems to have.
00:24:50.880
And a lot of people on the left seem to have, they're just smarter than everybody else.
00:24:55.800
And the rest of us are just blessed to be in their presence.
00:24:58.400
In your article, you talk about a player from Arizona and Tampa that spoke out last week
00:25:08.980
And you said, we can't be cowards and sheep forever.
00:25:14.540
Well, DeAndre Hopkins, the Arizona Cardinal wide receiver, has expressed his reluctance
00:25:24.480
Leonard Fournette, who plays with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, just won the Super
00:25:28.940
He's tweeted out, he doesn't want to get the vaccine.
00:25:32.660
And I just think that what initially started out in corporate sports media was they were
00:25:40.700
going to frame Cole Beasley, this white wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.
00:25:48.060
And he was actually doing it probably on behalf of his black teammates who were probably too
00:25:56.520
afraid to speak up because they just don't want to deal with the social media backlash.
00:26:01.300
And so the media was going to frame like, Cole Beasley, he's the only one, it's the white
00:26:05.420
guys, and he's a Trump supporter, and he's against the vaccine.
00:26:08.860
And so I'm just glad to see DeAndre Hopkins and Leonard Fournette express what I know many
00:26:24.860
So certainly in those NFL locker rooms aren't immune to what the rest of us think and feel.
00:26:31.240
Ezekiel Elliott, you know, the Cowboys running back came out and said, look, man, I grew up
00:26:44.940
And we don't, we got to quit being in fear of the social media mob and the left framing
00:26:55.940
We got to man up like DeAndre Hopkins and Leonard Fournette and Cole Beasley and speak our truth.
00:27:01.900
So do you actually believe, you said that this COVID-19 is going to make the Emancipation
00:27:14.060
Proclamation, I'm trying to figure out what, I'm trying to find it.
00:27:19.840
I said that these restrictions that the NFL are implementing are going to make, they're
00:27:29.640
going to come off like stop and frisk in old New York.
00:27:32.700
They're going to make stop and frisk feel like the Emancipation Proclamation in Juneteenth
00:27:45.560
Now look, I'm being entertaining in a column and I want to say things that people remember
00:27:51.460
I did remember, well I barely remembered it, but that was the line that stuck out.
00:27:58.840
This is the same way we complained about stop and frisk in New York.
00:28:02.900
It's targeting black people, targeting black people.
00:28:06.040
This COVID restrictions, it's targeting black NFL players.
00:28:17.740
By the way, is it okay to be happy that the Team USA is not doing good?
00:28:26.920
I didn't write it in my column, but I was rooting for France.
00:28:35.740
I don't want to see these guys on a medal stand irritating me.
00:28:41.080
So I'd rather them lose than get on the medal stand and do any type of protest and irritate
00:28:46.000
Yeah, it just felt wrong because I remember rooting against the Soviet Union and I've never
00:28:51.580
rooted against the American team and I'm kind of there.
