Summary

On today's show, Glenn and Stu talk about the mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and Dayton, and how to deal with it. They also discuss the far-left conspiracy theory that the shooter was actually a member of the Antifa group, and the fact that Elizabeth Warren and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are both named as possible suspects in the case.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu, and for Glenn today, he's back next week to do the show, finally.
00:00:07.000 Jeff, he shows up as well. We apologize for that, of course.
00:00:10.200 He hosts Chewing the Fat, the wonderful podcast here on the Blaze Podcast Network.
00:00:16.240 We talk about, and we're still kind of talking about these shootings from this weekend.
00:00:19.580 There's a lot going on. We, you know, this is not a huge surprise if you follow this closely,
00:00:23.620 but apparently this shooter has a far-left Twitter feed, including things like supporting Antifa,
00:00:30.000 among other things, and Elizabeth Warren. We get into that.
00:00:32.980 We have, we talk about Neil deGrasse Tyson. Now, he's the scientist.
00:00:37.240 He made a very horrible tweet that he had to apologize for.
00:00:41.520 He actually said in a 48-hour period of time, more people die from other things than mass shootings.
00:00:48.940 And, of course, he was right on all the numbers, but he had to apologize anyway,
00:00:51.440 because that's the sort of society that we live in.
00:00:53.260 He didn't realize the outcome of the tweet would have on other people.
00:00:57.540 What does that even mean?
00:00:59.400 Oh, gosh, it's so irritating.
00:01:02.480 And we kind of go into this issue in depth when it comes to the guns thing.
00:01:09.320 What was the actual target of these shootings?
00:01:13.080 The blame that's being associated from these, you know, assigned by these candidates to all these ridiculous causes and reasons.
00:01:21.800 And CNN fact-checks, whether background checks would have prevented these shootings.
00:01:27.980 We'll get into all that on today's podcast.
00:01:29.700 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:39.900 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:48.560 888-727-BECK, which is the number to call if you agree with us.
00:01:54.780 If you disagree with us, the number to call is 4.
00:01:58.900 Just dial 4.
00:01:59.840 Right, and if you're on a cell phone, do not press send.
00:02:04.200 No.
00:02:04.340 A lot of people pressing 4 and send, do not do that.
00:02:06.620 If you want to disagree with us, just press 4 and wait.
00:02:09.740 And the reason we've made it 4 is because we wanted it to be really easy for you to get in touch with us,
00:02:16.520 and you only have to remember one number if you disagree.
00:02:18.900 Yeah, because we want people to disagree.
00:02:20.500 Yeah.
00:02:20.760 You know, if you agree with us, you've got to remember 888-727-BECK.
00:02:24.600 What is BECK?
00:02:25.280 You've got to, it's 2325.
00:02:26.680 People have got to figure that out.
00:02:27.280 It is 2325?
00:02:28.280 It is.
00:02:28.760 Okay.
00:02:29.120 It takes a while for people to figure that out, though.
00:02:31.440 It does.
00:02:31.860 So we made it much more difficult for you to call and agree with us.
00:02:34.960 If you want to disagree, just press 4 and put it up to your ear.
00:02:38.340 And then wait.
00:02:38.940 And then wait.
00:02:39.420 Now, a lot of people will say, well, I don't hear any ringing or whatever.
00:02:43.600 That's just because we have a special system.
00:02:45.980 We think the ringing is off-putting to a lot of people.
00:02:49.500 Yeah.
00:02:49.700 So we've gotten rid of that.
00:02:51.540 You'll automatically go on hold, get in line, and we can pick you up at any time.
00:02:55.300 Just press 4.
00:02:56.500 Yeah.
00:02:57.200 And then put the phone to your ear.
00:02:58.380 Okay.
00:02:58.960 So good.
00:03:00.340 We'll look forward to hearing from you.
00:03:02.620 Especially, again, especially if you disagree.
00:03:04.780 That's great.
00:03:05.820 Yeah, like if you're a huge, like, let's say you're a huge Cory Booker fan.
00:03:08.820 You're just like, I've got to tell everybody in America how good Cory Booker is.
00:03:12.460 Just press 4 and put the phone to your ear.
00:03:14.860 Put the 4 to your ear.
00:03:16.400 That's what we say.
00:03:17.500 That's our big slogan we've been working on.
00:03:19.520 Put that 4 to your ear.
00:03:20.940 It's taken us a while to come up with that slogan, but I'm pretty proud of it.
00:03:25.860 I'm pretty proud of it now.
00:03:26.860 Almost too long.
00:03:27.900 Yeah.
00:03:28.240 You know?
00:03:28.580 Almost.
00:03:29.040 Almost.
00:03:29.700 It's been in development for 14 years.
00:03:32.620 But now it's ready to go.
00:03:33.580 Just press 4, put the 4 to your ear, and tell us about Cory Booker today.
00:03:38.580 That's the design of this program.
00:03:41.340 It's great.
00:03:42.320 All right.
00:03:42.700 Some weird stuff going on.
00:03:47.660 We're getting some really strange information about the Dayton killer.
00:03:51.640 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:52.860 Did you read about that?
00:03:53.940 Did you see it in the paper?
00:03:55.080 I have seen it in the papers, yes.
00:03:56.800 He was actually driven to the site by his best friend with his sister in the car as well.
00:04:08.360 So the third person was his best friend?
00:04:10.580 His best friend.
00:04:11.240 Okay, I didn't know that.
00:04:11.860 Drove him, he and his sister, to the nightclub.
00:04:16.740 And then they were the first ones he shot when he got out of the car.
00:04:22.920 Right.
00:04:23.420 How weird is that?
00:04:24.460 I was trying to piece this together.
00:04:25.680 So was I.
00:04:26.200 I was trying to figure out, well, okay, where did the AR-15 come from?
00:04:30.080 Right.
00:04:30.340 So they got separated at some point.
00:04:32.840 So my, I was trying to piece, you know, as we were kind of listening to the different reports,
00:04:37.380 and there are some conflicting reports about it, so it's still hard to dig out exactly what happened.
00:04:42.560 But it seems like they went down to this nightlife district together.
00:04:46.120 They got out of the car together.
00:04:47.480 He was not carrying a gun at that time.
00:04:50.680 And he didn't have the body armor on?
00:04:52.800 Right.
00:04:53.040 I think it was in the car or in the trunk or something.
00:04:56.080 So they went into the nightlife district, separated, my guess is, intentionally, right?
00:05:01.100 He intentionally separated.
00:05:03.100 And went back and got the gun.
00:05:03.720 Hey, I can't find you.
00:05:04.400 Can't find you.
00:05:05.020 Went back, got the gun, got all dressed.
00:05:06.560 Then started texting, hey, meet me here.
00:05:08.260 I'm going to meet you here.
00:05:09.560 And that's how he wound up killing them.
00:05:12.860 Or he actually, I should say, he only killed her.
00:05:15.260 He's still alive.
00:05:16.540 He did shoot him, though.
00:05:17.840 He did shoot him.
00:05:18.520 So they're going to have a real idea as to what this day was like, what it was leading up to this.
00:05:24.960 Yeah.
00:05:25.240 So he killed his sister.
00:05:27.080 He shot his best friend.
00:05:29.060 His best friend was also on his hit list when he was a junior in high school.
00:05:33.860 They've come up with the fact that he had a hit list when he was a junior.
00:05:37.380 He had a hit list of people he wanted to kill.
00:05:40.800 And he had a rape list of girls he wanted to rape.
00:05:44.160 Uh, wow.
00:05:47.040 There, that, both of those things indicative of negative behavior, Pat.
00:05:51.220 Yes.
00:05:51.580 Is how I would state that.
00:05:52.900 Yes.
00:05:53.260 And if you want to disagree with us, press four.
00:05:55.040 Oh, right.
00:05:55.440 And put your phone to your ear.
00:05:56.540 Uh, but it's, it's interesting because you look at this and it's like, you think immediately.
00:06:02.100 I think everybody thinks immediately.
00:06:03.400 Like, okay, this guy had all sorts of red flags, right?
00:06:06.240 Like, yes.
00:06:07.420 There's like, it was too bright to be red.
00:06:09.480 I don't know what color they'd turn into, you know, guy has a hit list, a rape list, but
00:06:14.760 it's, it's, it's still difficult, right?
00:06:17.740 This was in high school many years ago, seven, seven years ago, you guys, you know, has major
00:06:24.860 problems.
00:06:25.420 I'm sure at that time, somebody, they did something to address them.
00:06:29.680 Obviously at some level, they thought maybe he was past them.
00:06:33.260 I know there's been, you know, people say, okay, well, there's all these problems back
00:06:37.640 in high school.
00:06:38.220 And he was, you know, there's people that are saying, look, he's a, he was a major problem.
00:06:42.200 And we thought like, he might do something like this.
00:06:45.600 There's also been the reports of like a bar he went to regularly where they, they were
00:06:51.360 like, he was the greatest guy who never thought in a million years to do anything.
00:06:54.220 He was jovial, positive, like never harassed women in the bar, never did anything like
00:07:00.020 that.
00:07:00.200 He was just a great guy.
00:07:01.360 I, when it, when we heard the name, we said, there's absolutely no way that's the person
00:07:05.180 they're talking about.
00:07:07.080 So it's, it is not easy.
00:07:09.660 And we live in a society, I think for, this is a positive about our society is we don't
00:07:16.640 throw people in jail before they commit crimes.
00:07:20.540 Like we don't say, Hey, you know, this guy seems kind of weird.
00:07:24.680 Let's put him in prison.
00:07:26.100 That's not a thing that we do.
00:07:28.240 Right.
00:07:28.640 And that's one of the things that has, it's one of our innovations, right?
00:07:32.260 I mean, back in the day, whenever someone was a little bit off, they threw him in jail.
00:07:36.560 If you disagree with a King, they threw you in jail.
00:07:38.700 If you had the wrong religion, they threw you in jail.
00:07:41.140 We've kind of cleared a lot of that stuff out.
00:07:43.660 It's a, to our benefit.
00:07:44.760 So it's really hard when you have the one in what, 10,000, a hundred thousand, a million
00:07:51.160 people who is, you know, who is weird and has these bad problems and then winds up acting
00:07:57.200 on them.
00:07:57.800 Yeah.
00:07:58.340 It's how do you sift these people out?
00:08:00.540 It's, it's so near impossible.
00:08:02.160 Such a difficult problem.
00:08:03.200 Uh, in the documentary minority report, they were able to prevent, uh, crimes by, uh, you
00:08:11.380 know, they had those psychics in that milk bath and they were able to foretell the crime,
00:08:17.500 the murder and, uh, prevent it before it happened.
00:08:21.660 So maybe we should do something like that.
00:08:23.600 Maybe we could try that and see how that works out.
00:08:25.920 I think we should do that.
00:08:26.960 If you disagree, put the number four to your ear.
00:08:29.480 And by the way, you don't need a phone for that.
00:08:31.980 If you just, if you have whatever four hanging around, like a piece of paper, just put the
00:08:35.340 four, write it down on the four, right on the paper and then put the four on your ear.
00:08:39.900 You should tape it to your head, obviously.
00:08:41.900 So it doesn't fall off.
00:08:43.440 That would be ridiculous.
00:08:44.740 You take your hand off and the paper would fall to the ground.
00:08:47.000 You got to tape it.
00:08:48.120 It might get in your hair, but if you, when you get through it, it'll, it'll, it'll be okay.
00:08:52.720 Well, blow on it and make sure it's dry before you put it on your ear.
00:08:56.780 That would be my recommendation.
00:08:58.100 I was fascinated by the idea that there is something called a porno grind metal band.
00:09:03.940 Did you know this?
00:09:04.820 No.
00:09:05.560 He was apparently the lead singer of a porno grind metal band.
00:09:09.300 Who was the Dayton guy?
00:09:10.680 The Dayton guy.
00:09:11.860 Now the porno, porno grind genre, Pat, as you know, as a guy who's, he kind of did the
00:09:17.660 Grateful Dead thing in the porno grind industry, if I remember right.
00:09:21.240 Sure, yeah.
00:09:21.660 For a couple of years, he just got in a van.
00:09:25.000 And drove all around, all around the country.
00:09:27.660 The porno grind concerts.
00:09:29.260 Apparently this is a genre of music.
00:09:32.340 It's, you know, like heavy metal metal.
00:09:36.480 And I can't release, I can't say all of the story because all of it is horrible.
00:09:43.280 But including the name of his, of his band, I can't really tell you that.
00:09:48.960 But I can tell you that they release songs about rape.
00:09:52.900 Now, how many songs about rape can you name off the top of your head?
00:09:56.340 I can name one, which would be Nirvana's Rape Me.
00:10:00.700 Oh.
00:10:00.880 Because I just remember it being very controversial at the time.
00:10:03.820 And then I remember Kurt Cobain saying, it's an anti-rape song.
00:10:07.860 It's not a pro-rape song.
00:10:09.560 And it's like, well, we didn't think we were releasing a pro-rape song.
00:10:12.360 I mean, I, I don't know.
00:10:14.580 I mean, maybe people did.
00:10:16.040 You could rape, murder.
00:10:19.300 And then I know, like murder, you could come up with a bunch of them, right?
00:10:22.640 There's a lot of songs about murder.
00:10:24.480 Yeah.
00:10:24.920 It depends on who you kill.
00:10:26.100 Some of those songs really, like, are very positive.
00:10:29.660 I Shot the Sheriff.
00:10:30.720 I Shot the Sheriff.
00:10:31.420 It's a murder song.
00:10:32.320 Right.
00:10:32.480 Like, and that's a, like, viewed as kind of a positive.
00:10:34.800 You're on the side of the guy who shot the sheriff in that song.
00:10:37.160 Right.
00:10:37.260 Because he had it coming to him.
00:10:38.300 Yeah.
00:10:38.440 And it was in self-defense.
00:10:39.780 So it was okay.
00:10:40.420 Yeah.
00:10:40.780 The one I, the one I was thinking of was, uh, a Goodbye Earl, which was a song by the Dixie
00:10:46.440 Chicks where, you know, her husband seems like a dirtbag, so he kills her, kills him.
00:10:50.680 And that's, that was like, you're cheering for whatever Dixie Chick was in that particular
00:10:55.840 arrangement.
00:10:57.620 So lots of murder songs.
00:10:59.140 Certainly you can come up with just a few.
00:11:01.200 And I don't know, you know, I know you could name dozens, Pat, but I mean, in the, in
00:11:05.360 the world of gangster rap, you could probably come up with a couple that reference murder.
00:11:09.580 Probably.
00:11:10.140 If there's a couple.
00:11:11.300 Not as many, though, when it comes to songs about necrophilia.
00:11:15.140 I feel like it's a limited genre.
00:11:17.860 There's not as many songs out there.
00:11:20.320 There's not, there's not like a box set for necrophilia songs, but this band apparently
00:11:25.800 had them.
00:11:26.380 And apparently that's what this genre is.
00:11:29.260 So that doesn't sound like a red flag at all to me.
00:11:32.560 Like, I just, the fact that you're like, you know what, we're going to, our third single
00:11:37.360 off the album is, is Necrophilia Nancy.
00:11:40.540 If that's you, maybe we just automatically put you in prison, but that's not really our
00:11:45.280 system of government.
00:11:46.000 Or at least a hospital of some sort.
00:11:48.080 It does feel like a hospital stay.
00:11:49.900 Or you just get involuntarily committed.
00:11:51.500 Yeah.
00:11:51.920 Perhaps.
00:11:53.360 Yeah.
00:11:53.840 I'm just reading about the genres related to and similar to gore grind, but minor differences
00:12:00.140 from gore grind include porno grind having simpler, slower, and more rock-like songs.
00:12:07.980 Like, I'm telling you this as if you didn't know already.
00:12:11.680 I apologize for talking down to you.
00:12:14.600 That was a little weird when you said it like that, but I think, I guess you're talking to
00:12:17.060 the audience.
00:12:17.820 Right.
00:12:18.020 Yes.
00:12:18.340 Because a lot of people, and if you don't know what porno grind and the difference between
00:12:21.880 porno grind and the other genre we were just talking about.
00:12:25.300 Porn or gore grind.
00:12:27.400 Gore grind, if you don't know the difference, just dial your four on your phone.
00:12:31.280 Number four, put it to your ear and we'll tell you about it.
00:12:33.740 Now, as you know, the genre's portographic theme is present in the lyrics and the album
00:12:38.840 artwork, which would keep them out of most stores.
00:12:42.660 Also, the terrible music would keep them out of most stores.
00:12:46.200 Wow.
00:12:46.580 Also, the fact that stores don't really sell music anymore would keep them out of most
00:12:50.400 stores.
00:12:51.020 Yeah.
00:12:51.980 So there's a lot of things working against it.
00:12:53.860 The album, the artwork, and the fact that music is no longer sold in stores.
00:13:00.780 Those three things are having to keep it out of stores.
00:13:03.880 Oh, yeah.
00:13:04.220 And also the crappy music.
00:13:07.480 Wow.
00:13:08.840 Interesting, though.
00:13:10.380 I'm looking at the story of him and he has a ski mask on as he sings and wears a very
00:13:19.360 attractive dress, which is adorable, or sort of apron-like dress, kind of, and then maybe
00:13:26.340 some shorts underneath.
00:13:27.880 I mean, it's an interesting way to go for him.
00:13:32.820 And you're right.
00:13:34.160 It should have been a warning sign.
00:13:36.160 There were a lot of warning signs with this guy.
00:13:38.200 You know, one I was completely stunned by, Pat, and so stunned, I dialed the number four
00:13:43.120 and asked questions about it.
00:13:44.280 And here's what they told me.
00:13:45.800 This guy was a hardcore leftist.
00:13:48.600 I was shocked because, as you know, all violence...
00:13:51.900 Only right-wing people kill people.
00:13:53.220 Right.
00:13:53.620 That's the only thing that can happen.
00:13:55.100 Yeah.
00:13:55.380 And certainly only right-wing people own guns.
00:13:58.200 And the interesting part about this guy is he had a really far-left Twitter feed to
00:14:02.440 the point that he was supporting organizations like Antifa, which these are people that are
00:14:10.720 anti-fascists.
00:14:12.380 Yeah, right.
00:14:12.980 They just don't like racism.
00:14:14.840 That's what they are.
00:14:15.740 I've read about them a hundred times in the mainstream media.
00:14:17.940 These are people who, look, they're just standing up against fascism.
00:14:21.180 They don't like fascism or racism.
00:14:23.440 And yet this guy was supporting them and wound up killing a bunch of people.
00:14:27.220 What a weird, stunning twist.
00:14:29.720 I mean, is M. Night Shyamalan writing the news?
00:14:33.300 I don't know.
00:14:35.040 It's so difficult to understand how someone could support an anti-fascist group that is
00:14:41.560 just standing up against, you know, racism and anti-LGBT treatment.
00:14:47.860 And that person could wind up being violent?
00:14:52.020 Impossible to believe.
00:14:53.080 Impossible.
00:14:53.860 Seriously.
00:14:54.320 Impossible to believe.
00:14:57.620 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:14:59.720 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:15:07.540 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:15:11.760 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:15:15.720 With Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:17.540 888-727-BECK.
00:15:19.300 That, the number to call, if you agree with us or you've got some other comments, the number
00:15:23.240 to call if you disagree is four.
00:15:27.540 And some people, I guess there's been some confusion about that, but I believe we do have,
00:15:33.360 I believe we have our first caller who has dialed the number four to disagree.
00:15:37.960 Hello.
00:15:38.980 You're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.
00:15:42.020 Is this Pat?
00:15:43.620 Yes.
00:15:44.120 Yes, it is.
00:15:44.680 Pat Gray?
00:15:45.160 Yes.
00:15:46.520 Really?
00:15:47.220 Really.
00:15:48.320 Wow.
00:15:48.960 Wow.
00:15:49.400 I love you, and I love your show, the Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:15:56.260 I listen to the podcast every day.
00:15:59.300 Really?
00:15:59.920 When I, on my podcast service that I use.
00:16:03.220 Okay.
00:16:03.700 And I just love, I love you.
00:16:05.700 I love Stu.
00:16:06.880 I mean, he, wow, that guy's in great shape, huh?
00:16:09.560 I mean, wow.
00:16:11.060 Wait, you think that Stu's in great shape?
00:16:13.280 Well, I mean, okay, stop doing the sit-ups, guy.
00:16:16.380 I mean, look at this.
00:16:17.500 This guy's amazing.
00:16:18.540 I saw his wife on the show yesterday.
00:16:20.460 It's like, what did she do to get him, huh?
00:16:22.580 But this is.
00:16:23.320 You know what I mean?
00:16:23.800 That's what I was asking myself.
00:16:25.680 Really?
00:16:26.240 What did she do?
00:16:27.000 You thought that she was the lucky one.
00:16:28.260 Oh, my goodness.
00:16:29.400 Yeah.
00:16:29.780 Yeah.
00:16:30.040 I sure did.
00:16:31.020 Wow, that was a fantastic.
00:16:32.780 This is kind of a line if you disagree, not if you love everything we do.
00:16:37.380 I am really embarrassed, Pat, because I pressed four.
00:16:41.700 Right.
00:16:42.000 And I put the phone to my ear.
00:16:44.140 Yeah.
00:16:44.460 And the reason I did so was not because I disagreed with you.
00:16:48.820 How could I?
00:16:49.440 You guys are fantastic.
00:16:51.560 And everything you say is just, it's perfect.
00:16:54.080 But I just didn't believe you.
00:16:55.880 Oh, really?
00:16:56.260 I didn't believe that if I pressed four.
00:16:58.320 Yeah.
00:16:58.680 And put the phone to my ear and didn't press send, that someone would just pick up and
00:17:02.460 I'd be on national radio.
00:17:03.940 But it happened, right?
00:17:04.920 But here I am.
00:17:05.820 Yeah.
00:17:06.400 Yeah.
00:17:06.540 And wow.
00:17:07.320 I mean, this first of all proves that if you disagree, you should press
00:17:11.880 four and put it up to your ear.
00:17:13.980 You should do it right now.
00:17:15.100 Well, thank you for that testimonial.
00:17:16.380 I appreciate that.
00:17:17.060 And secondly, it must prove that not a lot of people disagree with you.
00:17:21.000 You must be making points that are so airtight.
00:17:23.780 It's so powerful that people can't disagree.
00:17:27.000 That may be true.
00:17:28.280 I just want to apologize.
00:17:30.040 All right.
00:17:30.340 That's all right.
00:17:30.780 Because I should not have done that.
00:17:31.600 I should not have doubted you guys.
00:17:33.680 You know, you with that incredible credibility of the Pat Gray Unleashed podcast I listen to
00:17:38.980 every day.
00:17:39.600 Right.
00:17:39.800 And Stu with the abs.
00:17:42.380 You know.
00:17:43.180 Now you've seen his abs because I've never.
00:17:45.160 Oh, my gosh.
00:17:45.420 I've known Stu for a long time.
00:17:46.700 I've never seen his abs.
00:17:47.840 You can see him through the shirt.
00:17:49.160 But that's how defiant they are.
00:17:51.800 It's incredible.
00:17:52.080 I'm looking right now directly at him.
00:17:55.020 I can't see his abs.
00:17:56.040 This man.
00:17:57.500 Wow.
00:17:58.020 It's like, you know, can you take a break?
00:18:01.020 Can you take a break from the gym for one day?
00:18:04.340 I mean, he must live there.
00:18:05.860 I don't think that's a big problem really.
00:18:08.340 You don't have a gram of fat.
00:18:10.160 Have one gram of fat occasionally.
00:18:12.360 The man is just.
00:18:14.300 He's like the rock.
00:18:15.800 The guy looks like the rock to me.
00:18:17.660 We're all out of time.
00:18:19.340 OK, thank you very much.
00:18:20.300 I love your show.
00:18:20.860 I love Pat Grant.
00:18:21.500 I love Susan.
00:18:22.740 Thank you.
00:18:23.940 More coming up in 60 seconds.
00:18:26.400 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:28.520 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:30.180 888-727-BECK.
00:18:32.000 Or, you know, if you disagree, the number four, as we just found out.
00:18:35.300 Except for somebody just checking to see if the number four worked.
00:18:39.700 And he found out it did.
00:18:40.680 And he proved that it worked.
00:18:41.640 And that was very nice of him to say.
00:18:43.200 I mean, look, I do take a take off from time to time.
00:18:46.080 Do you?
00:18:46.420 From the gym.
00:18:46.960 Because he didn't think so.
00:18:48.640 But I mean, you know, look, I appreciate that.
00:18:51.000 I think he knows that, you know, once a month I have a day off.
00:18:54.720 But he's thinking to himself, you know, it's just a nice way of being complimentary.
00:18:58.280 And I appreciate that.
00:18:59.760 And don't say those things about my wife.
00:19:01.300 Yes, she's lucky.
00:19:02.580 I mean, we all know that.
00:19:03.800 I mean, just to point it out on national radio is just, I don't think it's productive.
00:19:07.600 I don't think it's productive.
00:19:08.340 Yeah.
00:19:09.280 The president and his aides are seeking options right now to address gun violence that would circumvent Congress.
00:19:19.460 Wow.
00:19:20.740 Isn't that great?
00:19:21.360 That sounds wonderful.
00:19:23.440 I think we're supposed to be for that, right?
00:19:26.340 We're supposed to.
00:19:27.360 Well, do you support the president or not?
00:19:31.100 Do you?
00:19:32.120 You know, that's on something like that.
00:19:34.640 No, I do not.
00:19:36.240 When he does things that I think are really good policies, which he's had plenty of those.
00:19:40.460 And we've discussed them many, many times.
00:19:41.960 Yes.
00:19:42.380 Sure.
00:19:42.800 Absolutely support him.
00:19:43.840 But not blindly.
00:19:44.600 And if the guy wants to take executive action on guns, that is not something I'm comfortable with from any president, whether it's Barack Obama or George W. Bush or Donald Trump.
00:19:57.000 President Trump is exploring ways to use regulatory power and executive action to curb gun violence after a pair of deadly shootings, a move driven by his aides belief that Congress is incapable of coalescing around consensus legislation.
00:20:12.240 Well, good.
00:20:12.920 Yeah, because too many of them believe in the Second Amendment.
00:20:16.820 That's why.
00:20:17.740 Now, that says if you want to infringe it, you need to do it with executive action, right?
00:20:21.680 That's how that reads.
00:20:22.600 No, it says shall not be infringed.
00:20:24.640 But unless you get Congress to agree.
00:20:27.760 There's no one less.
00:20:28.740 No.
00:20:29.540 Nothing parenthetical in there.
00:20:31.560 No?
00:20:32.240 No.
00:20:32.880 Nothing assumed in there.
00:20:34.560 Now, a lot of the founders wrote an invisible ink.
00:20:36.900 Can we see the invisible ink around that?
00:20:39.120 We did.
00:20:39.520 We used the blow dryer on it and blue on it and then used the lemon juice, you know, and we couldn't find anything.
00:20:48.400 Did we use the Ovaltine decoder ring?
00:20:50.600 No, we haven't tried that yet.
00:20:51.820 Okay.
00:20:52.080 Let's try that.
00:20:52.900 White House officials said Trump and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr are resolved to take action after the shootings.
00:21:02.400 They're exploring solutions that actually make an impact as opposed to things that feel good.
00:21:07.900 He's increasingly relied on his executive authority to address issues that have stained his administration, including the gun violence epidemic.
00:21:16.500 Ten months after a teen gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last year, the Trump administration issued a rule at the president's request to ban the sale and possession of the bump stocks.
00:21:28.780 So he's already done that.
00:21:29.900 And completely unconstitutional.
00:21:33.580 Yeah.
00:21:34.300 And we fought about it at the time.
00:21:36.680 You know, it's such a minor thing.
00:21:38.740 You know, I'm never buying a bump stock.
00:21:39.980 I don't know anybody who would ever buy a bump stock.
00:21:43.100 And bump stocks, obviously, the one time I've ever heard of them used in my entire life, a lot of people died.
00:21:47.780 Me too. I didn't even know they existed.
00:21:49.040 I didn't even know they existed until Las Vegas.
00:21:50.760 Yeah.
00:21:50.920 That being said, you can't infringe.
00:21:54.500 You shall not infringe.
00:21:56.520 So the idea that you can do this without even legislation is really, really overstepping.
00:22:02.220 You know how you can do this?
00:22:03.060 Constitutional amendment.
00:22:04.040 Yep.
00:22:04.660 That's how you can do it.
00:22:05.500 Absolutely. You can do it.
00:22:06.400 Right.
00:22:06.760 You know, the shall not be infringed really does have a parenthetical unless you take this amendment out.
00:22:11.980 Right.
00:22:12.620 And then you can infringe all you want.
00:22:13.960 There will be those who say, well, that takes too long.
00:22:15.760 That's too hard.
00:22:16.820 It's supposed to be.
00:22:18.080 You know why?
00:22:18.760 Because by the time something gets done, people have had the chance to cool down, think about it, and think logically rather than irrationally through emotion.
00:22:28.300 Yep.
00:22:28.520 And that's the way we're thinking right this second.
00:22:30.740 It's supposed to be hard to, because these are important rights.
00:22:37.020 They can't just be taken away through an executive action in the whim of the executive branch.
00:22:42.400 You can't deal with that.
00:22:43.340 Yeah.
00:22:44.080 I don't know how people are going to defend this.
00:22:46.360 How do you defend this?
00:22:47.320 His defenders always defend it, but I don't know how you do on this particular case.
00:22:52.220 Well, it's common sense.
00:22:53.300 Common sense reforms, Pat.
00:22:54.980 Uh-huh.
00:22:55.600 I don't know.
00:22:56.280 Through executive action.
00:22:57.020 Through executive action.
00:22:57.760 And I actually completely disagree with the premise, too.
00:23:00.540 So do I.
00:23:00.980 If Donald Trump came out for a set of specific gun restrictions in legislation, you're telling me you couldn't get 20 Republican senators on board with that?
00:23:11.360 Every Democrat would theoretically go along with it if it was gun restrictions.
00:23:14.840 You could pass it through the Senate.
00:23:16.160 By the way, still wouldn't be constitutional.
00:23:19.200 Right.
00:23:19.860 But in theory, you could get it through.
00:23:21.820 You could get it through.
00:23:22.580 In theory, you could.
00:23:23.500 I think relatively easily.
00:23:24.060 I don't know why.
00:23:24.720 If anything, it doesn't make sense to me politically that Trump would want to take this on his own.
00:23:30.600 I don't understand it.
00:23:32.080 And put the pressure on himself rather than have it go through Congress, where still, it would probably be ruled unconstitutional later on.
00:23:38.660 At least there would be a good chance of that.
00:23:41.360 I don't.
00:23:42.460 Look, it is, of course, a very emotional thing, and you don't make good decisions about such topics when you're emotional.
00:23:51.900 And that's why the Congress is there.
00:23:55.460 That's why the Constitution is there, to slow these things down so you don't act.
00:24:00.100 Imbalances.
00:24:00.720 Yeah.
00:24:01.120 That's why we have co-equal branches of government, so that somebody can stop emotional action.
00:24:05.820 Yeah.
00:24:06.040 And we don't have to guess, by the way, how Republicans and talk show listeners would react if Barack Obama put in executive action on guns,
00:24:13.940 because he threatened it a million times, and I heard people how they reacted badly.
00:24:18.480 Right.
00:24:19.160 And they should.
00:24:20.220 And here's the one positive.
00:24:21.440 And if he reacted badly to Obama and executive action on guns, don't you—where are you now?
00:24:30.440 Where are you now?
00:24:31.320 You've got to be there for this, too.
00:24:33.160 I would think so.
00:24:34.280 I would think so.
00:24:35.000 I mean, I think a lot of times—you know, look, people—
00:24:37.460 And again, the president has done fantastic things that I didn't think he would do.
00:24:41.580 Absolutely.
00:24:41.660 Absolutely.
00:24:42.140 And he's proved us wrong a bunch of times.
00:24:43.840 And so hopefully—I think the best-case scenario of this article is they're floating this to see how Republicans and conservatives will react to it.
00:24:52.360 So maybe it'll be stopped.
00:24:53.360 If they react negatively, like they did—like they have on other—after the—what shooting was it?
00:24:59.400 There was a different shooting that he talked about potentially doing something on guns.
00:25:04.960 The American people reacted relatively poorly to that idea, and he wound up backing off of it.
00:25:11.100 And so maybe that's the same thing here.
00:25:12.460 The Florida thing?
00:25:12.960 It may have been Florida.
00:25:14.180 You know, but I'll give you this.
00:25:14.980 This is from the Tim Alberta book, American Carnage.
00:25:17.800 And I caught this as I was reading it, and I was like, wait a minute.
00:25:20.800 I had to read it two or three times because—did this actually happen?
00:25:25.420 He says—he confirmed this.
00:25:27.020 He's got quotes in it from people who were in the room.
00:25:29.620 Here's what it says.
00:25:30.660 The only unusual part—this is talking about the Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer who shot a bunch of Republicans.
00:25:38.000 You might remember Bernie Sanders as the guy telling us that Donald Trump's speech is responsible for the murders from this past weekend.
00:25:44.160 Jeez.
00:25:44.660 So the guy who volunteered for the campaign, not just the guy who said things—said the word invasion, and Donald Trump has also used the word invasion, which is about as much of a tie as they have between Trump and the guy in El Paso.
00:26:00.520 This guy actually volunteered for the campaign of Bernie Sanders and tried to kill a bunch of congressmen that were Republicans.
00:26:08.840 When that was going on, as the aftermath is going on—this is in this book, American Carnage—
00:26:13.840 The only unusual part of Trump's response was his fixation in discussions with doctors at the hospital and later with Scalise himself on the size of the bullet.
00:26:23.640 There was also a question he posed to friends and aides in the days following the shooting.
00:26:29.000 Quote,
00:26:29.280 Now, I have not heard anyone in the administration dispute that account of what happened, and so I'm concerned because there's—if you look back at Donald Trump, there's basically three types of Donald Trump policies.
00:26:53.960 The policy that Donald Trump has supported rock solidly since he came into the public eye in the 1980s, like trade protectionism, tariffs, right?
00:27:05.680 Like, he has been, you know, absolutely rock solid on that policy since the 80s.
00:27:10.920 Consistent every step of the day.
00:27:12.760 Then there's the type of policy where, you know, as he became a Republican nominee, he embraced, and there were a lot of questions as to whether he really believed it.
00:27:23.300 And I think his actions have shown that he had a conversion on that topic.
00:27:29.540 Like, one I happen to believe with Donald Trump is abortion.
00:27:33.520 He was absolutely a pro-choice guy for most of his life.
00:27:38.500 And I actually believe he's had a conversion, and he's been good on that topic.
00:27:42.500 And I can't question him on that one.
00:27:45.080 I think he's legitimate, and he's a conservative on that.
00:27:48.180 The third category is a conservative policy where you're kind of like, eh, I don't know.
00:27:53.680 And Guns is in that category.
00:27:55.040 And I'm not super committed.
00:27:56.220 Yeah, he wrote in a book back in the day that he was for the assault weapons ban.
00:28:01.460 Like, I mean, it was not a minor part of his belief system.
00:28:04.320 He's been very anti-Second Amendment.
00:28:06.420 Now, when he came into office, he's put in Neil Gorsuch.
00:28:09.760 I think Kavanaugh is pretty good on guns.
00:28:11.700 I have questions on him on other topics, but guns is not really one of them.
00:28:15.380 Guns are not really one of them.
00:28:16.960 So he's had things that he's been really good with guns.
00:28:21.200 The bump stock thing was really bad.
00:28:22.740 He's had threats of gun control several times.
00:28:27.440 This account does not fill you with confidence.
00:28:30.320 And so now he's exploring executive action on guns.
00:28:33.260 I'm nervous about it.
00:28:34.340 I think if conservatives send a message, if his base sends a message, hey, don't go down that road.
00:28:39.480 That's not good.
00:28:40.120 It's not good.
00:28:40.500 We don't want that.
00:28:41.260 We don't want that for you and your legacy.
00:28:43.820 Like, I think he will back off of it.
00:28:45.840 But it is concerning.
00:28:47.420 It is concerning.
00:28:48.220 It is.
00:28:48.540 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:04.240 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:29:05.280 And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.
00:29:11.060 And that is the news and why it matters.
00:29:14.120 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.
00:29:17.440 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.
00:29:23.820 The news and why it matters.
00:29:24.980 Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:29:28.140 Also joined by Jeffy.
00:29:31.280 Hey.
00:29:31.780 Have we gotten some four calls today?
00:29:33.520 A surprisingly small amount have called so far.
00:29:36.240 I don't know if they're just not used to it or if they don't trust us.
00:29:38.700 We're not going to be mad at you when you call four.
00:29:40.620 It will be fine.
00:29:41.680 We've made it easy for you to get to us.
00:29:43.480 Exactly.
00:29:44.000 One number.
00:29:44.260 And it cost us a lot of time and effort, and we'd just appreciate it if those who disagree would dial the number four so we could talk to them.
00:29:50.900 We hadn't really entertained this, but is it possible that people just don't disagree with us?
00:29:54.420 It is possible.
00:29:55.120 All of our points are perfect and airtight.
00:29:57.320 I mean, I guess that's it.
00:29:58.120 And they don't want to embarrass themselves by calling the number four and then just get pulled apart.
00:30:03.460 I did see Jeffy sitting outside the office today with the number four against his head.
00:30:07.360 Absolutely.
00:30:08.140 He just wrote it on the side of his face.
00:30:09.660 Especially after your little red flag law analogy where you said that the possible, you know, maybe you, Stu, Pat, and Glenn were to, you know, I don't know, red flag me.
00:30:22.880 Yeah.
00:30:23.320 We did discuss this possibility.
00:30:25.040 And then maybe I would lose my weapons for only six days.
00:30:28.880 Or maybe six months.
00:30:30.480 Or six years.
00:30:31.320 But see, the flaw to that is if I prove myself okay to the judge, within six days I get my weapons back, then how do you feel?
00:30:39.380 Exactly.
00:30:39.880 This does not seem like a thing you want to try.
00:30:42.220 And plus, I guess they said it's anonymous, though, too.
00:30:46.720 So you don't even know who did it to you.
00:30:48.800 Jeez.
00:30:49.040 Like, just some rando person.
00:30:50.640 I mean, think about public figures.
00:30:52.660 Yeah.
00:30:52.860 How easily that would be, you know, people could do that in theory to them.
00:30:56.320 I mean, there's a lot of problems with that.
00:30:58.680 I understand there's a lot of problems not doing it, too.
00:31:01.000 So it's not a crazy idea.
00:31:03.960 I mean, smart people have advocated for it.
00:31:06.200 And, you know, conservatives.
00:31:07.760 But, man, it makes me really freaking nervous that the state is going to be able to take your guns away because some rando who doesn't have to identify themselves says you shouldn't have them.
00:31:18.040 That's not a good thing at all.
00:31:19.320 No, that's not a good thing at all.
00:31:20.360 There's a formula issue there, I think.
00:31:21.980 And I know you were talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson and his tweet that he, you know, had to end up apologizing for, which was unbelievable that he ended up apologizing for it.
00:31:30.680 But I know he went down the list of, you know, medical errors and flu and suicide and car accidents and just, you know, handgun homicides.
00:31:38.080 But it must have slipped his mind to put an abortion.
00:31:41.620 Right.
00:31:42.360 Because that wasn't on the list.
00:31:43.520 I didn't see that either.
00:31:44.420 Yeah, because that's a bigger number than you might think.
00:31:48.180 The lowest number is handgun homicide, which was 40.
00:31:51.660 So what's abortion?
00:31:52.360 It's a little bit more than that.
00:31:53.680 Really?
00:31:54.100 Yeah, just a tad.
00:31:55.780 In any 48-hour period of time, there are...
00:31:59.420 It can't be.
00:31:59.620 It can't be more than 500 medical errors.
00:32:01.940 A teeny bit more.
00:32:04.400 It's about 12 times more than the 500.
00:32:06.980 It's 6,000 abortions in two days.
00:32:09.480 Now, I should point out...
00:32:10.280 6,000.
00:32:10.940 Disgusting.
00:32:11.520 Oh, my gosh.
00:32:12.080 That's only in the United States, of course.
00:32:14.100 Yes.
00:32:14.460 If you want to go globally, 138,868 every two days.
00:32:19.840 Which is why we use the stat a lot that 60 million babies have been killed since 1973
00:32:26.620 in this country.
00:32:27.740 The figure worldwide is over a billion.
00:32:31.320 1.2 billion.
00:32:33.340 Wow.
00:32:33.840 And that is, like, revolting.
00:32:35.420 It's like so on your stomach.
00:32:36.960 One-seventh of the current world's population has been aborted since 1973.
00:32:41.600 And how many are in the world now?
00:32:44.840 Is it seven?
00:32:45.500 It's just over seven.
00:32:46.260 So, it'll be one-sixth.
00:32:47.420 If it's 1.2, we're talking one-sixth of the population.
00:32:51.280 That is terrifying.
00:32:52.660 So far, just this year, just this year, 25 million plus have been aborted worldwide just
00:33:01.840 this year.
00:33:02.880 And that is a...
00:33:03.540 Think of that.
00:33:04.580 But, you know what?
00:33:06.140 Neil, to be fair, Neil did say lives.
00:33:09.640 And we don't know if these were lives.
00:33:11.360 Could be broccoli.
00:33:12.640 That's true.
00:33:12.920 You have to consider it lives.
00:33:14.720 It could be Volkswagen parts.
00:33:17.120 Those certainly aren't alive.
00:33:18.560 No, no, no.
00:33:19.100 You know?
00:33:19.440 No.
00:33:19.780 Who knows what's in there?
00:33:20.700 What if you give birth to kitchen utensils?
00:33:23.300 Right.
00:33:23.780 Well, you can't call that life.
00:33:26.140 No, that's not life.
00:33:27.400 Does it ever become life?
00:33:28.920 How many women?
00:33:30.440 You know, you think you're pregnant and then an appliance comes out.
00:33:33.880 I mean...
00:33:34.800 A toaster oven.
00:33:35.500 A toaster oven, for instance.
00:33:36.920 In the box.
00:33:37.700 All right.
00:33:38.820 Wow.
00:33:40.000 It's rough.
00:33:41.020 It's rough.
00:33:41.840 It is.
00:33:42.520 You know, you can concern yourself with abortion or handgun violence, but really what we need
00:33:48.140 to be concerned with is death by mosquito.
00:33:51.860 Okay?
00:33:52.440 Right now, there are 110 trillion mosquitoes stalking the world.
00:33:56.420 Did you know that?
00:33:57.060 110 trillion?
00:33:58.280 110 trillion mosquitoes stalking the world.
00:33:59.660 How do they know that?
00:34:00.720 Have they counted the mosquitoes?
00:34:01.500 Yes, everyone.
00:34:02.200 They've counted the mosquitoes.
00:34:03.120 They've counted everyone.
00:34:03.500 Yeah, they've got a special mosquito counter.
00:34:05.040 We're doing a mosquito census right now.
00:34:07.120 They claim that, on average, two million humans die because of mosquito bites every year.
00:34:12.420 Now, last year, they said it went down a little bit to like 850,000.
00:34:15.960 West Nile, malaria.
00:34:17.340 You can get all kinds of bad diseases from them.
00:34:20.120 Worms, parasites.
00:34:21.780 I mean, they're top of the list of what's killing people.
00:34:26.080 It's amazing.
00:34:26.720 I mean, you can't even...
00:34:27.660 I mean...
00:34:28.400 This is why the global warming thing is so frustrating.
00:34:30.920 I mean, if you put up mosquito nets...
00:34:33.680 A free...
00:34:35.600 Like, mosquito nets caused you absolutely nothing and would probably prevent 90% of these malaria
00:34:41.540 deaths every year.
00:34:43.020 Oh, yeah.
00:34:43.740 And you could save hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives.
00:34:47.620 Or, we can all try to reverse civilization and try to control the temperature.
00:34:53.380 Yeah.
00:34:53.780 That's a great one.
00:34:54.900 Yeah.
00:34:55.300 That one will work out well.
00:34:56.580 Here's another thought.
00:34:58.600 Bug spray.
00:34:59.800 You know, DDT.
00:35:00.960 Oh, what?
00:35:01.480 Let's kill the mosquitoes, but no.
00:35:03.840 No, you can't do that.
00:35:05.040 Because...
00:35:05.560 That harms the environment.
00:35:06.900 DDT was once banned in the United States.
00:35:08.980 There's a giant hole in the ozone because of that.
00:35:10.980 Had to ban it in Africa, too.
00:35:12.080 Otherwise, it's discriminatory and racist that we didn't ban it there.
00:35:15.300 Which a lot of the people who died were like, I think I'd rather be the victim of that type
00:35:18.960 of racism.
00:35:20.600 Uh-huh.
00:35:22.160 It's not real.
00:35:23.400 It's nuts.
00:35:23.960 So, if you were asked, do you think the food that you get delivered...
00:35:27.660 And I know, Stu, you use this, you know, the food delivery apps quite often here.
00:35:31.480 Oh, yeah.
00:35:32.120 If you were asked, do you think that your driver may, you know, dip into your food a
00:35:37.820 little bit, take a bite before he gets a beer?
00:35:40.160 It's an intro.
00:35:40.660 I had not thought of that.
00:35:41.880 Though, I will say, when I'm the Uber driver for my family, oh, some of those fries are disappearing.
00:35:47.600 For sure.
00:35:48.160 So, they surveyed 2015 America.
00:35:50.880 This is the American survey.
00:35:52.200 All these people identified as having worked as a deliverer for at least one food delivery
00:35:56.800 app.
00:35:57.540 The customers all think, about 20% say, yeah, the driver's probably eating some of
00:36:02.080 my food.
00:36:02.360 I don't know.
00:36:03.020 I don't know.
00:36:03.600 The drivers, it's about 28% of the delivery drivers are dipping into the food.
00:36:08.940 They're just nibbling on the food.
00:36:10.920 It's not bad.
00:36:11.200 Now, if you were a driver, the fries, you know nobody's going to notice, right?
00:36:15.060 The fries are probably okay.
00:36:17.700 Like, if I could just get away with, like, look, they're going to eat some of my fries.
00:36:20.060 Maybe I'll order an extra order of fries and market driver.
00:36:24.000 And just let that, you can have that order of fries.
00:36:26.520 That's a pretty good idea.
00:36:27.280 Don't dip it in the other order of fries.
00:36:28.740 That's a pretty good idea.
00:36:29.960 So, they just couldn't, 54%, we just couldn't resist the smell.
00:36:34.760 54% of the 28%.
00:36:36.180 We just couldn't, 54% couldn't, of the 28%.
00:36:38.800 Of the 28%.
00:36:39.000 We just couldn't resist the smell.
00:36:40.880 Do you believe it's only 28%?
00:36:42.380 That's a lot of people not admitting to what they're doing.
00:36:44.260 I think so, too.
00:36:45.040 Yeah, 28%.
00:36:45.740 I think so, too.
00:36:46.280 Because I'd never thought of this before, but you're right, it does sort of.
00:36:50.380 Now, consumers, they're saying here, according to this, 85% of consumers are now saying that
00:36:54.280 restaurants should employ tamper, you know, tamper evident labels.
00:36:58.620 Do we need more, I mean, that's.
00:37:00.300 I mean, it's probably a good idea if you're a restaurant, it shouldn't come from the government,
00:37:03.300 but it's probably a good idea if you're a restaurant to have something on there that
00:37:07.280 people can't steal stuff out of.
00:37:08.640 But if I'm a driver, don't I just snag a couple extra tamper evident stickers after I tamper
00:37:15.060 and then I put the real one back on?
00:37:17.480 I mean, not everyone's a criminal mastermind, Jeffy.
00:37:21.020 Jeffy's always trying to figure out a way to scam the system.
00:37:25.700 It does seem like, you know, the other thing is like, you just, like, if there's like a
00:37:29.700 pasta, you just have a fork in the car all the time.
00:37:31.860 You just go up in there and have a couple bites of each thing that rolls on through.
00:37:35.220 You're never going to pay for food in your life.
00:37:36.580 It would be tempting with that smell permeating your car every time you're making a delivery.
00:37:41.860 Sooner or later, it's got to get old.
00:37:43.100 But I mean, on delivery one, you're watching what you do.
00:37:47.120 On delivery 394, if you're hungry, you're taking a bite.
00:37:51.300 Right.
00:37:51.620 Now, you're not going to take a bite of a sandwich, right?
00:37:54.140 You might just take the sandwich, though.
00:37:56.220 Right?
00:37:56.400 I mean, the orders are wrong.
00:37:57.420 They're talking about...
00:37:58.300 Oh, yeah, they didn't deliver that one.
00:37:59.580 In the survey, they talk about food that's wrong, food that's cold, food that's not cooked,
00:38:04.180 delivering, you know, under, it's all under 20%, but, you know, they end up, you know,
00:38:08.440 they don't knock at the door when they bring you the food, that kind of thing,
00:38:11.360 you know, if you're delivering it to the house, but they talk about, you know, it being cold
00:38:15.720 and not being admitted to...
00:38:17.400 They bring it to the house and then don't knock or ring?
00:38:19.620 Yeah, just set it in front of the door.
00:38:20.880 Leave.
00:38:21.640 What?
00:38:23.040 Your food's there.
00:38:23.940 That's weird.
00:38:24.320 But if you, you know, if you have the app, right, you should, you're following the food.
00:38:27.420 It's telling you that your food, where your food is, right?
00:38:29.680 Most apps tell you where your food is.
00:38:31.420 So you should know.
00:38:32.260 You should know.
00:38:33.000 I shouldn't have to tell you that it's at your front door.
00:38:34.840 That's amazing.
00:38:36.800 It does seem like a little silly that they wouldn't knock.
00:38:39.380 Well, you could just say, I did knock and no one came.
00:38:41.380 Right.
00:38:41.780 So I just left it by the door.
00:38:43.060 Right.
00:38:43.700 I'm sure that's what they do.
00:38:45.360 That's interesting.
00:38:46.240 I had not thought of that, and it's a little creepy.
00:38:48.600 And I know.
00:38:49.200 What a surprise.
00:38:50.000 Jeffy creeped me out in this segment.
00:38:52.060 That's a stunning development.
00:38:53.700 And also, a good news coming from San Francisco Airport, single-use plastic water bottles are
00:39:00.820 going to be banned as of the 20th of this month.
00:39:03.000 So you don't have to worry about plastic bottles tearing up the environment anymore, thanks to
00:39:07.320 the San Francisco International Airport.
00:39:08.340 I have been so worried about that.
00:39:10.580 Thank you.
00:39:11.160 I woke up in a cold sweat at 1.30 this morning.
00:39:14.440 Thank you.
00:39:14.900 Oh, my gosh.
00:39:15.700 What about the single-use plastic bottles in San Francisco?
00:39:19.260 And now, it's amazing that you have eased my mind on that.
00:39:21.760 Well, listen, Rachel McCaffrey, the director of San Francisco,
00:39:23.680 the director of Travel Without Plastic, hey, this is a move that will be welcomed by an
00:39:28.600 increasing number of travelers.
00:39:30.340 Will it?
00:39:31.420 Will it?
00:39:32.660 But it's concerned about the impact of plastic having on the environment.
00:39:36.900 So, you know what I mean?
00:39:38.180 There's the plastic island out there in the middle of the ocean.
00:39:42.560 Oh, yeah, the great Pacific garbage patch.
00:39:46.240 I just heard it the other day.
00:39:47.460 I think it was on CNN.
00:39:48.900 Another person saying, you know what?
00:39:50.560 There's this big.
00:39:51.380 No, it's just a fact now.
00:39:53.900 It's a fact.
00:39:54.560 It's a fact that doesn't exist.
00:39:56.500 It's garbage the size of Texas floating around in the Pacific.
00:39:58.820 It's impossible.
00:39:59.380 This does not exist.
00:40:01.020 It's impossible to exist.
00:40:02.320 It's amazing.
00:40:03.220 It's impossible.
00:40:03.800 I mean, they could see my license plate from space.
00:40:06.020 We have not seen any proof of this island anywhere.
00:40:08.580 And by the way, if you actually read about it, they tell you it doesn't exist.
00:40:12.700 It's just an idea of there's that much garbage.
00:40:14.940 If it was all in one place, that's the size of it.
00:40:17.520 Yeah.
00:40:17.760 Like, that is a totally different thing.
00:40:19.400 And so many people, I guarantee, even in this audience, there are people right now going,
00:40:24.680 wait, that doesn't exist?
00:40:25.540 That's not a real thing?
00:40:26.540 No, it's not a real thing.
00:40:27.100 Even I, half of my career has been talking about environmental claims that are BS.
00:40:34.920 Right.
00:40:35.240 And even I believed that there is something in the middle, in the ocean, because I was
00:40:39.200 told it when I was a child.
00:40:41.400 And then I remember here, I was listening to Pat Gray Unleashed one day, and I remember
00:40:44.020 you talking about it.
00:40:44.680 I'm like, wait a minute.
00:40:46.380 That's not even like a...
00:40:47.680 It's not a thing.
00:40:48.560 I thought, well, maybe it's exaggerated or, you know, but I'm like, I had never have seen
00:40:53.340 a picture of it.
00:40:54.480 Right.
00:40:54.660 And after you talked about it, I remember going online, like, and they just straight
00:40:58.300 out say, no, of course there's no island of garbage in the ocean.
00:41:02.400 That's not how this works.
00:41:03.580 Yeah.
00:41:03.960 One of the first to dispute the fact that it existed and to get rid of this myth was
00:41:11.560 Salon.
00:41:12.600 I mean, that's as left-wing as you get.
00:41:15.000 Salon.com, come on.
00:41:16.260 That's not a conservative site.
00:41:17.660 Oh, not at all.
00:41:18.480 Even they did some research into this and said, yeah, it doesn't exist.
00:41:22.280 I know it helps to say that because the environmental thing, it gets people going.
00:41:27.240 It's just not true.
00:41:28.140 It's not true.
00:41:28.740 It's just not true.
00:41:29.320 But, you know, we have the water bottles being banned at the airport, but they're still
00:41:32.860 allowing sodas.
00:41:34.740 You're going to end up having to bring an empty container through TSA to fill up with
00:41:39.240 their, you know, their filtered water.
00:41:41.160 I do like that they're incentivizing soda drinking, though.
00:41:43.960 That I'm for.
00:41:44.900 They are doing that.
00:41:45.800 Did you see, too, the McDonald's straw thing?
00:41:48.120 I think we may have talked about this the other day.
00:41:49.380 But they had, they're like the one people that apparently had nailed the paper straw.
00:41:54.620 And people were like, you know, this is basically like a plastic straw.
00:41:56.940 It's not disintegrating in my mouth.
00:41:58.080 It's actually working.
00:41:59.360 And they had it.
00:42:00.300 And then they found out later, yeah, that you can't recycle it.
00:42:02.700 So all the benefits from the paper straw at McDonald's, they went away.
00:42:07.460 Recycle it.
00:42:07.940 You can't even, it doesn't even recycle.
00:42:09.880 It'd be better just to use the plastic.
00:42:11.700 Duh.
00:42:11.740 Yes, and that is the case every single time.
00:42:14.800 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:42:17.480 I'm joined by Jeffy.
00:42:19.980 Chewing the fat.
00:42:21.400 Should we check out the podcast?
00:42:23.020 Is that what you're about to say?
00:42:23.900 You can check out the podcast.
00:42:26.400 It uploads daily and you can subscribe and download daily.
00:42:29.800 This is a chewing the fat.
00:42:32.200 Okay, if I politely decline.
00:42:35.520 No.
00:42:36.680 You don't have to listen.
00:42:37.680 You just have to download.
00:42:38.300 I was surprised.
00:42:41.020 A couple of articles on CNN.
00:42:43.140 The Dayton shooter had an extreme left Twitter feed.
00:42:47.080 Wow.
00:42:47.680 Yeah, that is the title of the story at CNN.com.
00:42:51.600 Now, I don't know if they're just saying just his Twitter feed was left.
00:42:54.140 And he was actually like a right-wing nut job.
00:42:56.400 But he just kept tweeting left-wing things.
00:42:57.800 He was fooling us on Twitter.
00:42:58.380 Maybe that's what they were saying.
00:42:59.980 This one I thought was interesting, though.
00:43:01.000 They did a fact check on the claim.
00:43:03.540 Would stronger background checks have stopped El Paso and Dayton?
00:43:06.600 And you kind of assume that CNN would come to the conclusion.
00:43:09.760 Of course they would.
00:43:10.460 Yeah, of course.
00:43:11.160 These are common sense measures.
00:43:12.160 However, let me throw a little M. Night Shyamalan twist here to you.
00:43:16.360 What if President Trump is saying he supports them?
00:43:19.660 He's supporting background checks.
00:43:21.740 So then what do you do?
00:43:24.360 Then you're in trouble.
00:43:25.340 Then you're in trouble.
00:43:26.280 So what's strengthening or expanding background checks?
00:43:27.880 By the way, we already have background checks.
00:43:30.020 What?
00:43:30.540 Yeah, we already have background checks.
00:43:31.780 No, no, no.
00:43:32.260 Not if you...
00:43:32.760 In virtually every case.
00:43:33.920 Not the common sense background checks.
00:43:35.140 Yeah, the common sense background check where they do an FBI background check.
00:43:38.640 It's only a background check in the way that it's a check on your background.
00:43:44.580 Now, are they going to check your background, though?
00:43:46.280 Is it that extensive?
00:43:47.540 They will check on the things that you've done back then, you know, in your past.
00:43:52.420 In your past.
00:43:53.020 By the way, one of the exceptions when they say, I want universal background checks, one
00:43:56.000 of the things they're talking about, is right now, it's supposed to be an instant check
00:44:00.260 on your background.
00:44:01.620 Okay.
00:44:02.060 Let's just say the system's down, though.
00:44:04.020 Okay.
00:44:04.200 They have a window of three days to be able to decide, okay, well, we have to hold it
00:44:09.160 off for three days because it's not working.
00:44:10.620 Okay.
00:44:11.320 A universal background check, of course, would check all of these transactions.
00:44:14.680 So if the system was down, you just wait for it.
00:44:16.880 It'll come back up.
00:44:17.940 And then when it comes back up, we'll check you.
00:44:19.460 So I guess if the system went down for a month or two or 10 or 20 years, oopsies.
00:44:27.400 You're just going to have to wait.
00:44:29.140 We're trying really hard to get it back up.
00:44:31.140 Universal.
00:44:31.660 You guys wanted a universal, so it'll be universal.
00:44:33.760 Supposedly that happened all the time under Clinton.
00:44:35.180 Yeah, that was very common.
00:44:36.960 By the way, they say, would strengthening or expanding background checks have prevented
00:44:39.900 the alleged shooters from purchasing firearms?
00:44:42.140 The fact's first explanation, doubtful.
00:44:45.820 There's no indication that the shooting in Dayton would have been prevented by the background
00:44:51.040 check.
00:44:51.640 El Paso, he purchased his firearm legally.
00:44:55.500 There's no evidence that he had criminal history and a background check would have caught
00:44:58.380 it.
00:44:59.220 So now that Trump's supporting the background checks, we can all say that, finally, admit
00:45:03.560 that none of them would work.
00:45:09.720 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
