Transcript

00:00:00.000 This is it. Last show of the year. Welcome to today's podcast.
00:00:12.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:19.780 Well, it's the holiday. This is the last broadcast I'll be doing before the holidays. And, you know,
00:00:26.100 we've usually, usually that means when we go on vacation, but Pat is here with me. Hi, Pat.
00:00:32.800 Hi, Glenn. Usually that means we screw off and we don't get anything done, but we are dedicated to
00:00:38.960 you. And, and so none of that's going to be happening. I wanted to go through some of the
00:00:44.620 news. And as a surprise guest is Carl the Elf. Hi, Carl. Hey, Glenn. How are you? I'm pretty good.
00:00:52.760 I'm, I'm pretty good. It's a, it's a surprise to have you here in the studio. I didn't know
00:00:56.320 that you would, you know, you'd make it. You literally scheduled me to come in here.
00:01:03.580 I thought the elves were all about magic and. Yeah, it's not magic. It waked me up early
00:01:09.800 for a very long commute. Okay. Your commute was long. Yeah. And then I was freaking full.
00:01:15.260 Yes, I have it, but it's at least it wasn't congested. Okay. Uh, Carl, uh, I just have to
00:01:23.940 do some news with, uh, with Pat. If you just want to, you know, join us for this. Have you heard
00:01:28.860 Pat that, uh, Joe Biden has warned of a winter of severe illness and death? Oh, wow. Okay. Well,
00:01:36.640 that's Merry Christmas, everybody. Merry Christmas. Are you sure that wasn't you? Uh, is he,
00:01:42.200 is he listening to this show? Is that what's going on? President Biden said yesterday that
00:01:47.800 Americans unvaccinated against the Corona virus are facing a winter of severe illness and death,
00:01:54.520 which is, you know, the kind of the fun stuff that you like to hear from the president. Yeah. It's
00:01:58.520 good that the Republicans are the fear mongers, right? Right. Yeah. Right. Uh, Carl. Yeah. Are
00:02:03.900 you vaccinated? Uh, nah. You're, you're not? Nah. I mean, look, I'm begging for death at this point.
00:02:14.300 Yeah. You're begging for death. Yeah. Um, I'm sorry. Are you guys slaves to build toys all year?
00:02:22.220 I am. I know what that life is like. I didn't, I didn't. It sucks. Yeah. I didn't think you were
00:02:26.940 slaves. I mean, you're, you're up there in the North pole. You're always seemingly very happy.
00:02:31.960 Well, I guess you could call it indentured servitude. That doesn't end. There's another
00:02:37.100 way of looking at it. If you want to make the holidays nice and warm. Okay. All right. Well,
00:02:42.000 uh, thank you for chiming in on that. Uh, here's the next story. And I hate to bring this to you,
00:02:48.180 you know, so close to Christmas, but the FDA is going to permanently allow abortion pills by mail.
00:02:55.280 Now this is coming from the New York times. They have lifted all the restrictions that would make
00:03:03.020 the abortion medication more accessible. 19 States have already banned telemedicine visit for abortion
00:03:10.360 pills. Uh, and so women are going to have to travel to get their mail, I guess, in, in other States.
00:03:16.340 It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get RU 486 anywhere in the United States of America.
00:03:22.700 You're going to be able to get them in junior high vending machines, right? Yes. They'll have them.
00:03:28.320 Good. Good. Excuse me. Well, I mean, look, the mail, whatever. Yeah. The post office might be
00:03:36.200 bringing you some abortion pills, but we've been delivering these things for a long time.
00:03:39.560 Um, I've been hitting up the ladies with abortion pills off the sleigh. I kind of got a backroom
00:03:45.900 sort of, uh, dealing operation. If you want to call it that. I, uh, I think this is probably
00:03:52.280 not something Santa would, would, why are you for abortion? I'm a little, well, first of all,
00:03:57.100 I'm a little pissed off the post office is cutting into my business, but, um, I am for abortion for
00:04:04.200 one simple reason. And I know women's choice is something we can all agree on. Um, but I don't
00:04:14.420 sound sarcastic, Carl. Look, I don't care about women's choice. What I care about is less toys to
00:04:22.420 build. The, the more abortion pills I drop off as a jolly old elf means I got to make less
00:04:30.060 extra sketches. That's what it means to me. Right. Yeah. Um, I look, I, you know, this is why
00:04:37.400 I don't get disappointed in your COVID reporting. You know, if, if Fauci's right, uh, you know,
00:04:43.880 I've got, basically I'm taking March off and that's what I'm looking at March and April. I might be off
00:04:49.600 from making toys. So you, there are too many, uh, too many people for you, too many kids. Yeah. I mean,
00:04:56.420 how many do we need in a four, four or five, I think would be, would it be okay? Per family? No, uh,
00:05:02.880 total. I think, look, how many do we need? Eventually, if you have five, maybe one of them,
00:05:13.340 you know, something happens at some point. So you got four left and that's enough to propagate the
00:05:17.700 species. At some point, I believe elves should take over the whole situation anyway. You know,
00:05:25.120 why, why, you know, these humans, like you're doing a good job running things. Have you looked
00:05:31.160 around lately? Well, but you, uh, you don't seem like you're carrying a happy, well, neither does
00:05:36.480 Joe Biden, but you don't seem to be carrying a happy message, one that we all want to get behind.
00:05:43.220 What year do you think this is? It's 2021, Beck. Right. It is, we haven't had,
00:05:51.220 it's been, it's been nonstop catastrophe for how many years? Well, but, uh, look at what you guys
00:05:57.460 are doing. You, you full sizers down there are, have been screwing up this planet. You've, you've,
00:06:05.520 you've got, uh, disease spreading all over the place. Uh, everybody's aborting each other. I mean,
00:06:11.960 look, everything you've done has, has screwed up this, this world. And what have we tried to do?
00:06:20.220 Uh, make it a happy place. And our efforts of bringing you, you know, little rocking horses
00:06:27.140 isn't working. Like you guys suck. So you, so you think the little rocking horses used to work?
00:06:33.960 Yeah. At one point it made it like, you know, you had a decent place to live. Things were going
00:06:39.600 relatively well and we'd bring you, you know, I don't know, some stupid toy to make the kids smile
00:06:45.540 for five minutes. Now they're basically going to, you know, uh, you know, we're teaching them that
00:06:51.300 the color of their skin is the most important thing about them. So wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.
00:06:54.880 So when was it great here? I just, I just want to hear because you know, there, you seem to have
00:07:00.780 rose colored glasses on when, when was it really, really great where everybody was at nice houses
00:07:06.880 and you know, we're happy. You're trying to, is this gotcha journalism? Are you trying to,
00:07:13.480 if I say a year, you're going to tell me the worst thing about that year. And then that was the thing
00:07:18.380 I was rooting for. Well, but I mean, when, when was that? I mean, you know, things have been bad
00:07:23.700 for quite some time. I'll tell you when the good times are in the future when people like you are gone.
00:07:30.780 That's when we'll be celebrating. We will be dancing and dancing at the North Pole at that
00:07:38.320 point. You seem to be almost, uh, somebody who likes eugenics.
00:07:45.580 Eugenics, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, that's, that's not my thing. You're the one that's basically in
00:07:50.860 the Nazi party. Uh, I, I'm not talking about eugenics. I'm just, because I mean, that's,
00:07:56.960 you were talking about giving abortion pills to kids and I mean, and you know, and, and you're
00:08:02.320 remembering things. I remember, remember kids, you know, used to have polio and everything else.
00:08:07.060 Yeah, no, that's true. There, there was some polio stuff. We used to root for that.
00:08:13.460 We were like pro polio up at the North Pole. Well, yeah, because you know, there was a time
00:08:21.260 when it seemed like, you know, we were not going to be able to get abortion pills through the mail.
00:08:28.340 Now it's a lot easier to wipe these kids out. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So you were,
00:08:33.380 were you behind polio? I don't want to say behind it. I mean, I was part of an effort
00:08:41.100 to what? To create polio. I didn't, uh, I didn't know that, uh, the elves were,
00:08:54.320 were part of the creation of polio. When is our vacation? I know your vacation is coming up after
00:08:59.880 the show. Yeah. When is my vacation? My vacation is nowhere because kids keep coming. There's more
00:09:06.600 and more of them. I want none of them anymore. So they're, they all, they're all sticky. Their,
00:09:12.000 their hands have like, they've been like eating a candy cane and then they get the residue on their
00:09:18.960 hands and everything's sticky. And I just look, I want a vacation and this is the way I can get it.
00:09:25.140 So have you thought about maybe asking Santa for a vacation as opposed to killing all the kids?
00:09:31.400 Oh, you mean the guy who's imprisoned me for a thousand years? I don't know. What is his position
00:09:35.400 on vacation? Thank you very much. Thank you. I appreciate it. Carl the elf. Uh, gosh, it's,
00:09:41.400 uh, too bad he can't stay.
00:09:42.720 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:09:50.520 Steve days blaze TV show host, uh, the Steve day show, which follows this program, uh, every day
00:09:59.280 on the blaze TV radio and television network. Steve, how are you, sir? Good morning. Good to you
00:10:04.780 guys. Merry Christmas to everybody. Thanks for having me, brother. Are you in the Christmas mood?
00:10:08.160 You probably are. I've been in a Christmas mood since, well, I'm a Christmas flap. Uh, and I've
00:10:14.820 been in a Christmas mood since about three seconds after Halloween. That's when Christmas begins for
00:10:18.880 me. I'm usually that way. I'm just, I don't know. I've, I've, we've had so many bad things happen with
00:10:24.260 our family. I'm going on vacation and I just don't believe it. I won't believe it until I'm back.
00:10:29.800 Uh, because I said to everybody, nobody's answering the phones, no phones, no internet, everyone,
00:10:35.380 the entire United States could burn to the ground and no one is to recognize it until we are off a
00:10:43.520 vacation. Uh, amen. Sounds like you have teenagers. Yes, I do. My wife said to me, I had a dream last
00:10:53.360 night. She woke up and she said today, I, uh, I had this weirdest dream. I, I dreamt that we had a lion
00:10:59.960 in the house. And I said, we do. It's called our teenager. Um, but anyway, uh, Steve, you have a new
00:11:08.160 book out, do what you believe, or you won't be free to believe it much longer. Tell me about it.
00:11:13.820 The last year, uh, you know, on our show here on, on blaze TV, we, we kind of have a theme for the show
00:11:19.520 every year. And, and the theme for our show this year was that the answer is us, that if we, we want
00:11:24.380 to turn around the direction of this, just sitting around and waiting to vote ourselves out of it,
00:11:29.000 isn't going to be sufficient. Um, and we're going to have to learn some of the old arts of resistance
00:11:33.700 and non-compliance and civil disobedience that the founding generations of the country perfected in
00:11:39.140 order to found us. And, and, and what's transpired as the year has gone on and it's become more and
00:11:44.980 more clear that the political system with, unless you happen to be governed by Ron DeSantis or a handful
00:11:50.220 of other people as largely ineffective or unwilling to confront, uh, the, the authoritarianism that is
00:11:56.340 beyond creeping. Now, uh, it's a shadow that is threatening to overtake us is we're going to have
00:12:01.540 to do this. And you've seen it recently. I mean, it's just a few months ago, the airlines Southwest
00:12:06.120 and American airlines were facing unprecedented shutdowns and cancellations because of pilots and
00:12:11.160 employees failing, refusing to go along with their jab mandates. And now those CEOs are now saying
00:12:16.700 we shouldn't even be wearing masks on plane anymore. It's amazing how the turn
00:12:20.100 tables here in a few days, right? Yeah. You look at the Jussie Smollett, the Kyle Rittenhouse cases,
00:12:25.560 those are cases where in our current political media industrial complex, the truth was unattainable
00:12:31.540 to achieve. Yet when facts and evidences are presented to regular people that are sober minded
00:12:37.540 and not filtered through those mechanisms, suddenly we get to a place of truth and justice. And I think
00:12:43.860 that shows that really the answer we're looking for here are people who understand where their rights
00:12:49.440 come from, which is God. We understand what the, that America as Chesterton said, is the only country
00:12:54.360 ever founded upon a creed. And that ultimately stop waiting for some magic savior with an R after his
00:13:00.580 name to show up and outsource your, your citizenship to him or her, but to take these matters peaceably,
00:13:07.600 but confrontationally into our own hands with the mechanisms we have. And that's what our book lays
00:13:13.060 out is a battle plan for doing exactly that. Yeah. You know, some of the chapters first,
00:13:17.420 we have to correct some stinking thinking, uh, the declaration of independence choose this day,
00:13:21.620 the inconvenient truth about America, which is what that were far worse off than we think that
00:13:28.480 what transpired the last year and a half didn't break or wreck anything. It's a harvest of things
00:13:34.380 that were already broken and wrecked so that the forces that want to really undo them. We're really
00:13:39.720 talking about here is the unraveling and undoing of Western civilization. You know, I'm really
00:13:44.140 essentially, go ahead. Don't go, go. No, I mean that, which is essentially been a,
00:13:48.880 you know, a 500 post-reformational, uh, understanding of the world in the Judeo-Christian
00:13:55.640 context of how to conduct human affairs, what, where rights come from, where good and evil come
00:14:01.680 from, who defines that, what institutions are in charge of such endeavors, the role of family,
00:14:06.860 et cetera. What we're really up against is a complete and total unraveling of that. That's why a lot of
00:14:12.340 the theories and morals that, that the opposition articulates that they call progressive, they're
00:14:17.880 not progressive. This is paganism. This is a pre-Judeo-Christian understanding of the world.
00:14:23.200 And they, they're really regressive. They want to take us back to the dark ages. All right. So that
00:14:27.800 even things like gender distinctions are all but gone and erased. And that, that, that, those are the
00:14:33.400 stakes we're playing for here. And it's not as if we just got up one day and we're like, holy cow,
00:14:37.740 how did we get to this place? We were actually creeping to this place for a long time. We were
00:14:42.660 complacent. We did not confront it. And now we're in the position now where it's here, it's spectacular
00:14:47.760 and it has us cornered. That's the inconvenient truth. So, um, uh, you know, I've been worried about
00:14:52.580 this for a while. Um, you know, if you look back at Germany, Germany lost all of its, uh, all of its
00:14:59.920 icons, all of the, you know, even the Eagle, uh, of Germany, uh, was lost in the twenties and it was
00:15:06.500 lost for about 10 to 15 years. Then Hitler came in and he twisted all of those symbols. So the iron
00:15:14.480 Eagle came back, but it wasn't the same. Um, and I kind of feel like this is happening to us in real
00:15:22.140 time. We are slowly forgetting everything. We, you know, we're, we're, we're living our life in such a
00:15:31.940 way now because of COVID in many places, we would have never, we would have never thought we would
00:15:39.180 do this. Now we're just doing it and we don't even notice it anymore. It's just kind of like, yeah,
00:15:44.340 that's the way life is. That's very dangerous. See, this is why what you just described is why we have
00:15:50.260 this phenomenon right now with people like Dave Chappelle, with people like Bill Maher, um, with,
00:15:55.600 with people like Andrew Sullivan. I mean, Andrew, Andrew Sullivan's the Bill Buckley of the gay
00:15:59.860 rights movement. It was its first respected celebrity intellectual. He can't get booked on CNN or MSNBC
00:16:06.640 anymore. Why? Because if you go read half of Andrew Sullivan's Twitter feed every day, it, about half of
00:16:12.340 it is stuff I would tweet. And I'm the guy that puts the fun in fundamentalism. Okay. Because what, what,
00:16:17.380 what happened is a lot of the old liberals thought that they were just freeing themselves from our
00:16:24.400 gods. Yes. Okay. And what they're learning is that the new leftist actually all along intended to
00:16:29.940 introduce the new gods instead. Okay. So no, you're not going to free your conscience from the mandates,
00:16:36.640 the biblical, the mandates of the 10 commandments or what the Bible preaches or traditional Judeo-Christian
00:16:41.560 understanding. You're at, we're actually just removing those restraints. So we can put the new
00:16:46.660 restraints in instead. So you really didn't get rid of some form of what you viewed as
00:16:52.000 theocratic authoritarianism. You actually just set the stage and helped us bring in real theocratic
00:16:58.560 authoritarianism. It's just all going to be that the power emanates from the state. And this is why
00:17:03.620 we're now finding some strange bedfellows from some of these old liberals who are like, wait a minute,
00:17:08.560 I thought I had a right to my own conscience. And it was really those Christians and those,
00:17:13.120 and those conservative Jews who were stopping me from fully actualizing that. And now what they're
00:17:18.260 learning is you don't have a right to your own conscience. At least with us, we were, we were
00:17:21.900 willing to argue with you how far your right to conscience could go, but that you at least had one
00:17:26.360 with the new left. You don't have those rights anymore. You must comply. There is no individuality.
00:17:31.900 It's why Dave Rubin's not gay anymore. He might as well change his name to Donald Trump. Okay.
00:17:37.000 It's why Jason Whitlock's not black anymore. He might as well change his name to Steve Dace or
00:17:41.500 Glenn Beck, because it's not about any of those identities we were sold before. It was about a
00:17:46.640 means to an end to use those things in order to deconstruct the old ways so we could introduce
00:17:52.400 to you the new one. So that's why it's so important to me that we're reaching out. I just did an
00:17:57.060 interview with Andrew Yang. There's a lot I disagree with Andrew Yang on, but there's a lot
00:18:02.840 I, I agree with him on. And these intellectuals that have had been part of this movement to the
00:18:11.220 left, they're now saying, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, not, not here. This is, I agree with the bill of rights.
00:18:19.160 These are the people now finally coming to the table that we can disagree with and, you know,
00:18:25.660 not have to round one, you know, one side or the other up in the end. Uh, and I think it's really
00:18:31.720 important that we welcome this diversity to the right, because there you want to talk about a
00:18:38.040 very small tent. It's the left. I agree because I also don't think that the traditional political
00:18:45.920 Venn diagram is applicable at the moment where we aren't having a direction, an argument about the
00:18:52.280 direction of the country. We're having an argument about whether to have a country. Okay. What is a
00:18:58.200 border? What is a citizen? What's a boy? What's a girl? What's a team? What's a law? What's anything
00:19:04.500 we're, we're, we're up against a movement that is that really transcends politics. It is a rival
00:19:10.440 religion. Uh, it be, and it behaves in very cultic ways. That's why there's not a lot of critical
00:19:16.420 thinking, but a lot of group thinking with talking points instead. It's what I've kind of dubbed on my
00:19:21.100 show to use an old stained glass window term. I call it the spirit of the age. And that's why
00:19:25.680 there's so much zealotry, so much fervor. That's why they see a lot. These people that are caught up
00:19:31.120 in this sadly, when they speak to you, that they can't critically think or reason with you. Uh, it's
00:19:36.460 because they have given up on reason and have essentially just glommed onto a, a cultic spirit
00:19:43.180 of the age that they think is ultimate truth is a form of salvation. It, this is absolutely spiritual.
00:19:50.440 And, and that's why, you know, we run a, we run a great promotion for our colleague,
00:19:55.180 Allie Stuckey on our commercials here on blaze TV. And she keeps saying this line. I always hear her
00:20:00.880 say, uh, these people, they absolutely think they're the good guys. They do. They think that
00:20:05.660 they're the, that they're here to deliver us, that, that we're the ones that are misbegotten,
00:20:10.240 that we are the, that, that we are the mis, you know, that we are the troglodytes here,
00:20:14.120 unevolved. And so this idea that there could be a national divorce and our States go their
00:20:18.900 way. And there's no, no, no, no, folks. They think that they need to save us from going our
00:20:24.400 own way. And so that's why what we're really talking about now is authoritarianism versus
00:20:29.640 Liberty. That's really the paradigm now. And, and, and that, that's why there is ability for us to
00:20:35.880 work with people that we have a whole host of disagreements on. And I don't plan on changing my
00:20:40.220 mind on most of those things anytime soon, but right now we're having a fight, Glenn. Am I entitled to
00:20:46.340 have my own mind? See, that is the thing that, you know, I keep starting in conversations with
00:20:53.200 people that I know I'm going to disagree with, with this. Do you believe in the bill of rights
00:20:59.200 as written? You give me nine of those, you know, first 10, do you agree with the bill of rights?
00:21:07.000 If you do, then all we're usually talking about are policies and that's normal. It goes back to you
00:21:14.480 saying, you know, what is a law? What is a nation? What is a border? If you understand the bill of
00:21:20.800 rights that gave us the playing field and it gave us, this is all out of bounds. Well, nothing is out
00:21:27.760 of bounds right now. And I'm, you know, I'm, I can argue policies, but we are not talking about those
00:21:35.260 now. It's not really about spending. It's about, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:21:40.040 You are spending and building a structure for an entirely different system and you're not including
00:21:45.840 us in it. That's exactly right. This is, this isn't political. It's spiritual and it's not cultural.
00:21:52.540 It's existential. These, this is, this is a completely new, fundamentally new way of life.
00:22:00.080 Yes, it is. And, and, and, and, and, and this is the end of Mel Gibson's apocalypto and neither side
00:22:05.820 can agree on who the savages are. Okay. So one belief system, it, this is, you know, it's a worldview
00:22:12.260 steel cage match. Now, two of them have entered. Only one of them is coming out and either we are
00:22:18.080 going to be permitted the luxury of going back to those culture war, political issues that, that we
00:22:25.240 thought at the time were existential and, you know, so serious. And now we've reached a whole
00:22:30.580 different meta level and realize kind of seems pretty trite compared to what we're talking about
00:22:34.300 now. Either we're going to be afforded the luxury of returning to that political paradigm and then
00:22:40.960 being angry at the Andrew Yangs of the world again, or we're not going to have a country. Those are
00:22:46.560 really the stakes. So Steve, if you were to talk to me two months ago, I would have been very,
00:22:52.620 very pessimistic. Then Afghanistan happened and I saw people stand up. Then the school boards
00:22:59.380 started to be flipped. Now people are starting to say, you know, shut up Fauci. I'm starting to see
00:23:07.240 that spirit of America come back. Are you optimistic? I'm optimistic. I'm more optimistic. I don't know.
00:23:15.680 I'm a total depravity kind of guy. So I don't know that I'm ever actually optimistic. Okay. But I am,
00:23:20.120 I am more optimistic than I was a few months ago. Yes. That I do think that there's, here's how I
00:23:27.360 would define it. We don't have as many people as we probably need, but we have more people right now,
00:23:35.440 but we have more people than the system can tolerate at the same time. And so that's where
00:23:40.080 we can build a groundswell of momentum here. And I think there's a window here that we can use
00:23:46.560 things like mass resistance, non-compliance. New York state right now, I believe has 40 of 62
00:23:51.840 counties that are refusing to enforce or implement the new governor's attempt to return to COVID
00:23:57.040 standards. Fantastic. Fantastic. See, that's what we're talking about is, is who they can issue all
00:24:03.280 the decrees that they want. The school board doesn't have a sergeant at arms. OSHA with the jab mandate
00:24:09.180 doesn't have police officers that they can come arrest you. If your company won't enforce it,
00:24:13.560 if enough people refuse to apply, these things become unenforceable. They're trying to impose
00:24:21.340 these things through infrastructures that don't have enforcement mechanisms. Yet we've just relied
00:24:26.520 on yet. They've just relied on us to go along with it. And we need to show them that it will be painful
00:24:33.160 for you to try to inflict these things on us, that this pain will not be a one-sided transaction any
00:24:38.880 longer. Just like you want to inflict pain on us, we will return the pain on you for trying to inflict
00:24:44.480 it. Steve Dace, Blaze TV host, Steve Dace Show, follows this program every day. He is the author
00:24:50.780 of The Faucian Bargain and the author of Do What You Believe or You Won't Be Free to Believe It Much
00:24:57.500 Longer. This is what he's been talking about, this new book that is out now. Steve Dace, thank you so much.
00:25:02.540 Talk to you again. You got it, guys. Again, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Thank you.
00:25:08.880 I just want you to be on high alert. In fact, I think it warrants the duct tape alert because what
00:25:30.480 you are about to hear will honestly just, it could make your head explode. But you might pray for that.
00:25:38.540 So maybe you don't wrap your head in duct tape. Biden is now warning, and I quote, of a winter of
00:25:45.280 severe illness and death. End quote. Merry Christmas, everybody. I mean, these guys just won't give up
00:25:55.760 on their fear mongering. And I think, I'd like to make a prediction. By the end of the year, and I think
00:26:02.660 it's going to happen sooner rather than later because it already is, but America is just going
00:26:07.840 to start mocking, I mean, universally, mocking these warnings, mocking these people. And they're
00:26:14.900 just going to be like, yeah, really? Got to wear a mask, huh? Not going to do it. By the end of the
00:26:20.180 year, meaning in like just a couple of weeks, or you're saying in 2020?
00:26:22.260 2022. Yeah. It's coming. Here's what I'm already saying to them. A, B, C, D, E, F, U. That's
00:26:30.940 what I'm already saying. Really? Really? Yeah. And your mom, and your sister, and your job.
00:26:36.600 Are you quoting a- Broke-ass car. That stuff you call art. What? Are you guys familiar with
00:26:45.040 this song? It was number one in the country last week. Yeah, but I didn't think I would hear
00:26:48.320 it from you, of all people. I never thought I would quote a song like that either, but
00:26:55.320 this is probably the song your kids are listening to and you don't know. Do I have a piece of
00:26:58.940 it edited? F*** you and your mom, and your sister, and your job, and your broke-ass car, and
00:27:05.940 that's f*** car, Lord. F*** you and your friends that I'll never see again. Everybody but your
00:27:13.020 dog, you could not. F***. Wow. It's a good song. And it's super catchy. As a programmer, strictly
00:27:25.940 strictly as a guy who used to- Yeah, strictly as a music guy. A music guy who used to program
00:27:30.260 top 40 stations, I would have this in what was called power rotation, out of the box. You'd
00:27:35.500 hand it to me, I'd put it in, I'd listen, I'd go, put it on the air right now. Every
00:27:39.940 90 minutes. Every 90 minutes. Right now. It is a- It's a smash hit. It's not only a smash
00:27:46.140 hit, it is an anthem. Yeah. It's an anthem. And those happen occasionally, rarely, but it
00:27:54.900 is an anthem that becomes a movement of the age. A, B, C, D, E, F. You and your mom, and
00:28:04.900 your sister, and your job, and your broke-ass car, and that's f*** you call us. F*** you
00:28:10.900 and your friends that I'll never see again. Everybody but your dog, you can all f*** off.
00:28:17.900 F*** you and your friends. It's nice though. They spared the dog too. I feel good that
00:28:22.700 they say that. Yeah, she spared the dog. They spared the dog. It's, uh, it just, it's
00:28:28.520 something you can just powerfully relate to, I guess. Uh, it is so- And I wish you couldn't.
00:28:32.840 I wish I couldn't. Yeah. But, uh, you can see the appeal. Wait, wait, wait, you're singing
00:28:37.660 it. It's your, like, Pat Gray's anthem? I thought you were saying it was good, like, for-
00:28:41.900 It just feels good. Oh, no, it feels good. That's my- You know? I could, I could quickly
00:28:45.840 adopt that as my anthem too. Oh, big time. Yeah. Big time. Yeah. And your kids
00:28:49.740 have gotta- Not that I want them to, or they should
00:28:53.920 be. That's what they're listening to. But that's what they're listening to. They're listening to that, and you don't
00:28:57.740 know it, and they would never sing it around you, but I guarantee you they know every word.
00:29:01.400 They're singing to all their friends, and they're screaming it in the car
00:29:03.880 when they're not with you. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, wow. It's weird.
00:29:07.780 We were at a place where, like, I didn't like
00:29:11.540 the- Let me put it this way.
00:29:14.040 Uh, I like
00:29:16.180 the Brandon chant.
00:29:18.180 Yeah. Okay. Much better
00:29:20.260 than what that-
00:29:22.120 What it means. Yes. I, as
00:29:24.380 a parent of two small kids
00:29:26.240 going to sporting events and hearing the
00:29:28.100 actual chant, uh, associated with
00:29:30.160 Let's Go Brandon over and over again. It was not fun.
00:29:32.180 I did not appreciate that. I like Let's Go Brandon
00:29:34.220 much more. So, I- But I think
00:29:36.160 society- I mean, Pat, you remember me
00:29:38.080 in the day, um, before-
00:29:39.900 before I sobered up and changed
00:29:42.000 and found the Lord and everything else. I-
00:29:44.640 It was an art form. The F word
00:29:46.200 was an art form. Uh,
00:29:47.880 you know, I could say- Came up a few times
00:29:50.220 in conversation. Yeah. And I could-
00:29:52.340 I could pretty much, uh,
00:29:54.100 talk about anything
00:29:55.280 and, uh, probably more
00:29:58.000 F words in it than
00:30:00.080 actual other words, and you'd still
00:30:02.120 understand exactly what I was talking about.
00:30:04.440 Uh, I feel like I
00:30:05.960 wasted all of those years. Well, maybe
00:30:07.960 I was just a pioneer. Because
00:30:09.580 everybody is talking like that now.
00:30:12.540 Yeah. Doesn't it seem like that?
00:30:14.020 Yeah. Like, you hear that
00:30:15.760 everywhere. Yeah. Everywhere.
00:30:18.620 Seems like we're just getting
00:30:19.600 dumber and dumber as a society, and I think
00:30:21.720 that's- It's like, uh, what was it? Uh,
00:30:23.800 the-
00:30:24.600 Idiocracy?
00:30:26.420 The, um,
00:30:27.760 movie that predicted the future,
00:30:29.680 uh, blatantly. But they-
00:30:31.480 everyone kind of breeds in, gets dumber and
00:30:33.440 dumber over time, and then that's how they
00:30:35.280 talk all the time. All they're doing is
00:30:37.120 swearing, and, like, and it's just
00:30:39.180 constant insults. But there is nothing
00:30:41.200 better, at times, at times,
00:30:43.260 than that word. It just-
00:30:45.020 Word is an effective- It's a very effective word.
00:30:47.260 There are only a couple of words that are
00:30:48.880 more effective that- Yeah. That they don't
00:30:50.840 get into songs all that often. Yeah, right.
00:30:53.080 You know, but it's kind of like, it's-
00:30:54.780 it's becoming almost like the
00:30:56.740 C word in England.
00:30:59.300 Like, in England, it doesn't mean
00:31:01.000 what we think it means.
00:31:03.300 Right. The C word. Yeah.
00:31:04.440 Uh, yeah, it's interesting. Do we all
00:31:06.320 understand the right C word? Because I know
00:31:07.980 there's lots of C words we're not supposed
00:31:09.600 to say. Yeah, C is the one you gotta stay
00:31:12.140 away from the most, seems like that word.
00:31:13.800 Oh, is it- hang on just a second. I'm
00:31:14.680 getting it from my Scottish friend. Is it
00:31:17.040 only Scotland? So, in England, does it
00:31:19.600 mean the same thing that it does here?
00:31:23.300 Means the same in England, not in
00:31:25.280 Scotland. And I know this because the guy
00:31:29.020 who is my assistant is Scottish, and, uh,
00:31:32.440 he- he was having a conversation, uh, with his
00:31:35.980 now wife, uh, but they were dating, and he- he
00:31:40.440 called her that, and she was like, what?
00:31:45.280 And he was like, what? What's the problem?
00:31:51.980 Didn't go well. Didn't go well. But he saved it.
00:31:54.680 Does it mean, like, uh, you know- Idiot, right?
00:31:58.320 Can he just- let me see him at least. I know he
00:32:01.020 doesn't want to be on the microphone, but- Does it
00:32:02.880 mean idiot? Is that an appropriate translation?
00:32:05.160 What does it mean? Open his mic. Go ahead. What's
00:32:08.040 it mean? It's just a friendlier way of saying, yeah,
00:32:11.160 that idiot over there. A friendlier way of saying
00:32:13.240 that idiot? A friendlier way. Doesn't seem
00:32:14.920 friendly, but- Yeah. And it- I mean, it doesn't
00:32:17.720 seem like idiot, either. Mm-mm. Yeah.
00:32:20.780 That's how we use it. I mean, we use it in all- Oh, I
00:32:23.520 know. Expressions in anybody. Oh, I- See you over
00:32:26.020 there. Yeah, I know. I know. And, uh, and, you
00:32:29.340 know, when I- cause, you know, I- you know, I watch
00:32:33.040 the BBC a lot, cause I think the BBC is- No, it's
00:32:35.860 not necessarily better. Well, yes, it is. Um, but, uh,
00:32:39.020 it's just that it doesn't have any American
00:32:42.100 politics in it. It's got loads of British- But I
00:32:45.440 don't care if they burn to the ground. So, it's
00:32:47.280 like, yeah, that's funny.
00:32:50.780 Uh, yeah, but it's- like, over there, they have
00:32:53.320 the word- They use it a lot. And they have a word
00:32:54.520 for, uh, cigarette as well, that is- that means
00:32:56.780 something else over here. Yes. Yes. Yes. That
00:32:58.580 occasionally makes it into those shows, and it's- it's
00:33:00.480 jarring, cause you just don't hear it in any
00:33:03.180 context anymore. And especially because it's
00:33:04.540 usually preceded, want to drag off of, I- Yes. And
00:33:07.260 you're like, no, no, no, I'm good. I- Thank you.
00:33:10.900 Thank you for that. I was watching- I've been
00:33:12.640 watching The Wire, the show, uh, on HBO that aired
00:33:15.720 in the early 2000s. Yeah. Uh, and, uh, basically based
00:33:19.080 off Jason Whitlock's, uh, recommendation. Cause I've
00:33:21.540 heard- obviously I've heard of The Wire and it's
00:33:23.260 one of the, you know, most renowned shows of
00:33:25.780 all time. And he was saying it's his favorite
00:33:27.220 show of all time. And so he- he kind of talked me
00:33:30.140 into going through it and it's very good. But
00:33:31.840 what's interesting about it is there, it's, you
00:33:35.000 know, it's about, like, drug dealing on the
00:33:37.020 streets of Baltimore in the early 2000s. And
00:33:39.260 they- like, particularly the anti-gay slur is all
00:33:43.240 over the place. Like, like, crazy. And like,
00:33:46.400 it's- it's interesting. Just in that time, that
00:33:48.860 has gone from a word that was just continually
00:33:51.020 used in pop culture. Not necessarily in a
00:33:53.620 positive way. Like, hey, these guys are good
00:33:55.220 for using this word. I mean, they're bad
00:33:56.760 characters. But like, it was just in there all
00:33:59.080 the time. And you go back at, you know, there's
00:34:01.040 episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
00:34:02.700 that just have the N-word in them. Straight out
00:34:05.820 N-word said full. Like, it's so shocking that-
00:34:09.700 Like, that's happened pretty fast. Really fast. Well,
00:34:13.160 but it is- it is- to me, it has always been
00:34:16.320 shocking. Because, you know, Pat and I came
00:34:18.720 from music radio. That stuff was in rap all
00:34:21.780 the time. All the time. All the time. And so
00:34:23.820 it was- to me, it was always shocking to hear
00:34:27.280 it in music. And it's- and then it was just
00:34:29.900 weird that you could hear it in music, still
00:34:31.900 can. Hear it in music, hear it in, you know,
00:34:34.600 with, you know, half of the population, or
00:34:37.540 what is it, 20% of the population
00:34:40.040 being free with it, just throwing it out
00:34:42.900 anywhere and can. And everybody else is
00:34:44.660 like, okay, that's really a bad word. It's
00:34:47.620 just weird. It's developed in a very
00:34:49.760 strange way. There's that controversy that
00:34:52.100 happened around here in Texas with supposed
00:34:54.640 racism in high schools. And it was what was
00:34:57.360 kind of the basis of the recent CRT stuff
00:34:59.660 that happened here. Where the teenage girls
00:35:01.020 were singing the lyrics of a rap song. Yeah. And
00:35:03.640 that was part of, you know, the criticism of
00:35:07.840 this town and that, like, the white girls
00:35:09.500 were singing the actual lyrics of this song. No
00:35:11.980 criticism levied at the artist- None at all. For
00:35:15.220 recording the song this way. Right. No one
00:35:17.560 said, hey, maybe, like, don't put it in the
00:35:19.920 song that you know is going to attract
00:35:21.680 young people who may not be able to decipher
00:35:25.160 the ins and outs and nuances of how this word is
00:35:28.960 supposed to be used. No criticism to them for
00:35:31.960 making millions of dollars off the word. But
00:35:34.220 let's criticize the high school kids for just
00:35:36.640 singing along to lyrics of a song that
00:35:40.040 Universal or some other big company is making
00:35:42.380 millions of dollars off of. Remember when I
00:35:44.160 stood up for Don Imus against Al Sharpton?
00:35:47.920 Because Al Sharpton, I mean, Don just said
00:35:52.380 some things he shouldn't have said. But it's
00:35:54.720 by far not worse than what's in rap songs. Oh,
00:35:59.300 God. And I'm talking to Al Sharpton. I'm like,
00:36:00.980 when are you going to talk to the record
00:36:02.760 companies? When are you going to boycott
00:36:04.600 them? And the answer, of course, is never. He
00:36:07.980 actually did. Oh, he did? He did say he
00:36:10.020 would do it. And he did. He did. I went and
00:36:11.840 marched with him. I said, I'm not going to. I
00:36:14.340 said, you're not going to do it. He said, yes, I
00:36:15.900 will. And I said, you know what? Then I'll
00:36:17.400 show up with my cameras and I'll be there to
00:36:20.220 cover it. I don't agree with it, but I will I
00:36:23.300 will cover it and I'll be there. And I walked
00:36:25.880 he'd had a march and I walked around the
00:36:29.620 corner and he was there, you know, with a
00:36:32.820 block full of people. And one of the guards
00:36:35.820 was like, no, no, no, no. And Sharpton said, no,
00:36:39.660 come here. And he looked at me like I was an
00:36:42.240 alien, like you're here. And I said, of
00:36:45.920 course, I told you I would be. I said, I can't
00:36:48.420 believe that you are doing this. And he said, well,
00:36:51.140 I told you I would. And I said, yeah. But
00:36:54.080 there was a time where that was a position
00:36:55.920 of race race activists, right, that we
00:36:59.440 should everyone should get rid of the N
00:37:00.880 word. It should not just, you know, I don't
00:37:02.220 know if anybody kind of goes to all men are
00:37:04.780 created equal. I mean, we should all be
00:37:06.340 playing by the same rules. We should all be
00:37:08.960 playing by the same rules. That's old school.
00:37:11.440 What you're saying is old school. Who was the
00:37:13.160 rap star? Was it Drake that invited the white
00:37:15.620 girl up on stage to sing one of his songs
00:37:18.700 with him? She sang the word and then he
00:37:21.440 berated her for it. Really? What? Yeah.
00:37:25.740 What are your songs, man? I'm just singing
00:37:28.760 the lyric. What am I? Do you do you put
00:37:31.520 N word in there? We're in place of it.
00:37:33.880 Kendrick Lamar, I'm being told it was not
00:37:36.100 Drake. All right. But still, that's a
00:37:38.040 that's insane. I hope she went away going
00:37:40.840 you're a total psycho. I would think so.
00:37:44.160 Well, how about when the in the Jussie
00:37:46.800 Smollett trial, they were reading the
00:37:48.740 texts and they and Jussie Smollett said
00:37:51.280 the lawyer, the white lawyer, couldn't
00:37:53.040 read Jussie's text because the N word
00:37:55.680 was used in the text. Jeez.
00:37:57.780 Quoting text in a legal trial.
00:38:00.600 Hang on just a second.
00:38:02.620 Let's just all enjoy for a second the
00:38:04.320 holiday season.
00:38:06.340 And knowing that Jussie Smollett is going
00:38:09.020 to go to jail. Yeah, there we go.
00:38:10.520 It's like chestnuts roasting on an open
00:38:15.220 fire, you know, it just feels good.
00:38:17.840 Na na na na.
