Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.240 Hey, it's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn's podcast.
00:00:12.260 Today on the podcast, you know, Glenn is still canoeing across the Mediterranean.
00:00:16.980 And he actually, the rest of the weekend is climbing K2, but he should be back on Monday.
00:00:22.840 Anyway, stopping the caravan, the caravan from, I think it originated in Honduras, and then went to Guatemala, and then Mexico.
00:00:35.440 Coming through Mexico.
00:00:36.620 4,000 strong.
00:00:38.580 So we'll talk about that and how hateful it is that you want to stop that 4,000 person caravan.
00:00:44.280 Thank you.
00:00:45.240 President Trump threatened to even send the military to put a stop to this.
00:00:49.100 Open up a new restaurant for them right there.
00:00:51.420 Thank you.
00:00:52.680 Yes.
00:00:53.760 So we'll get into that.
00:00:54.960 Also, we talked about Mexico, and their tougher immigration laws than we have.
00:01:02.160 But I guess that's okay.
00:01:04.240 But if we wanted stiff and ours, it's hate.
00:01:06.800 No.
00:01:07.440 And ugly.
00:01:08.680 Beto O'Rourke.
00:01:09.680 We get into the Beto O'Rourke situation and whether or not a lot of white guys in El Paso really do have the name Beto.
00:01:17.400 You might be surprised.
00:01:19.120 It's so common.
00:01:21.920 Also, we'll talk about crunching the election poll numbers with Stu.
00:01:28.320 Who's looking good and who isn't?
00:01:30.200 And what are the odds that the Republicans hold on to the House and Senate?
00:01:34.660 They're not looking that great right now.
00:01:36.060 It's okay for the Senate, not the House.
00:01:38.580 20% chance in the House.
00:01:40.200 But we'll get into that as well.
00:01:41.760 That and a lot more coming up on the podcast.
00:01:43.880 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:57.440 It's Friday, October 19th.
00:02:00.320 Glenn Beck.
00:02:01.040 It's Pat Gray and Stu Bergeer for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:07.000 He's still canoeing back from his Mediterranean crossing.
00:02:11.780 He was canoeing across the Mediterranean, something he's wanted to do forever.
00:02:14.900 And then when he's done crossing the Mediterranean, he's just going to canoe back here.
00:02:20.280 Which is a long trip.
00:02:22.280 He should be back by Monday.
00:02:24.580 Yeah.
00:02:25.180 I mean, he's a heck of a rower.
00:02:27.420 He really is.
00:02:28.500 It's impressive.
00:02:28.960 So hopefully by Monday, he'll be back.
00:02:34.400 So we've got this massive humanity heading for the U.S. border.
00:02:41.240 Originated, I guess, in Honduras and then picked up a bunch of people in Guatemala.
00:02:46.080 And there's some more people waiting for him in Mexico.
00:02:48.420 And who knows how big this caravan is going to be by the time it gets here.
00:02:51.560 But the president is asking, in some stern words, for the governments along the way to maybe do something about this.
00:03:02.940 And maybe stop the caravan.
00:03:05.420 And, of course, that's hateful.
00:03:07.240 It's a questionable tactic, I would say.
00:03:10.520 To send the military to?
00:03:11.960 No, not our response, but the actual caravan itself.
00:03:16.120 It is.
00:03:17.020 I don't understand what the point of these things are.
00:03:19.820 It seems like every year or so, we have another one of these stories.
00:03:23.200 Yeah.
00:03:23.800 And it's certainly not something that's going to influence the type of progress you would theoretically want if you are a migrant from Central America wanting to come to the United States.
00:03:34.840 Yeah, you're talking from their mindset.
00:03:36.740 Yeah.
00:03:36.960 Right?
00:03:37.200 From their point of view.
00:03:38.160 It does seem strange that they're doing it this way.
00:03:41.160 It does not seem like it works, right?
00:03:42.840 I mean, just all it does is, you know.
00:03:45.040 It makes people angry who don't want people just thinking they can break into the country illegally.
00:03:51.260 Yeah.
00:03:51.420 And especially when you're doing it thousands at a time.
00:03:55.000 That makes it even worse, it would seem to me.
00:03:57.920 Yeah, I mean, because this is why you hear about the dreamers all the time, Pat.
00:04:02.860 The dreamers.
00:04:03.640 The people who dream.
00:04:04.780 People who've just created a dream and they've dreamed it here in the United States.
00:04:08.540 And all they want to do is continue their dream dreaming here in dreamland.
00:04:12.140 That's all they want is a dream.
00:04:13.600 Dreamy dreamers.
00:04:14.500 Dreamy dreamers.
00:04:15.620 And you hear about dreamy dreamers because they have stories that are largely compelling in a one-on-one basis, right?
00:04:23.140 You know, they pick, they know, of course, they don't pick the, they came here at 17 and 11 months and have been breaking the law for 15 years.
00:04:32.800 They pick the kid, and there are some examples of this where there's a kid who's, you know, four years old and comes across with their parent, as the phrase is, no fault of their own, which is true when you're four years old.
00:04:44.440 And there's a compelling case there, and I think a lot of people are open to that case, even if you—
00:04:48.920 I think if you're four, you're mature enough to say, hey, mom, dad, I'm not doing this.
00:04:54.140 Okay?
00:04:54.740 This is wrong.
00:04:55.720 You know what?
00:04:56.120 You're not dragging me illegally across that border.
00:04:57.880 I'm not doing it.
00:04:58.480 Have you guys looked at U.S. law?
00:04:59.840 Come on.
00:05:00.180 Because we're breaking it.
00:05:01.120 Okay?
00:05:01.840 Right now.
00:05:02.360 Usually that doesn't happen when you're four.
00:05:06.300 So, I mean, there's a compelling case there.
00:05:08.260 When you talk about 4,000 people coming across the border, that's just a mass.
00:05:12.820 You can't look at those people individually, or it's hard to, I think, for the average American, because this is just—this is not a situation where there's a person who came across the border in a situation where they necessarily weren't making a decision to violate the law.
00:05:28.380 These are 4,000 people intentionally telling you days in advance that what our goal is, is to come break the law.
00:05:37.620 And that is—there's just not a lot of sympathy, I think, from even Americans who are open to border reform and immigration reform.
00:05:48.300 Yeah.
00:05:48.500 It's just a weird tactic.
00:05:50.020 And to do it three weeks before an election, it's almost like Donald Trump was like, hey, guys, would you mind creating a caravan and sending it this way?
00:05:58.660 And what I will do is I will talk about it, and it will help us win this election.
00:06:02.460 And then afterwards, you guys can go back home.
00:06:04.140 We'll play for your bus.
00:06:04.920 I was reading about the makeup of the caravan, too, earlier.
00:06:08.440 Some of them are children with their parents.
00:06:12.180 Many of them are children unaccompanied by their parents.
00:06:15.880 So I try to figure out, all right, how did that occur at home?
00:06:21.940 Did you—did the parents just say, hey, you know what?
00:06:24.160 It's time for you to walk to the United States, and I want you to walk in that group of people.
00:06:29.340 And here's a guy I'm paying $7,000 to walk, you know, somewhere in the group with you, and he'd get you across the border.
00:06:35.760 Is that what you're doing, or are you just—you're entrusting your children to who knows what?
00:06:41.640 Where is the personal responsibility of the parents here?
00:06:44.660 Yeah, I mean—
00:06:45.280 There's got to be some.
00:06:45.940 There is, and I think their case would be, or at least the case the left would make on their behalf would be, you know, things are so bad.
00:06:53.640 Things are so bad.
00:06:54.300 In Honduras or Guatemala.
00:06:55.840 I mean, they could get a lot worse.
00:06:56.940 You can be killed on the way here.
00:06:59.340 You could be molested on the way here.
00:07:02.380 Somebody may not be there on the other side of the border.
00:07:05.220 I mean, there's so many things that could go wrong.
00:07:07.920 You talk about helicopter parents.
00:07:09.740 I mean, that's pretty much the opposite.
00:07:12.260 Like, hey, good luck.
00:07:13.120 It's the same thing.
00:07:13.720 We talked about this yesterday.
00:07:14.900 You know, letting my kid walk—who's seven—walk the dog up the street.
00:07:20.120 Not the whole street, but part of the street without me, you know, hawking over him the entire time makes me as a parent freak out.
00:07:26.760 I've told this story a few times.
00:07:28.120 You know, we live in a neighborhood.
00:07:29.580 At the end of our block, there's a giant pond there in a green area.
00:07:36.180 It's common to everybody in the neighborhood.
00:07:38.720 And when my daughter was 16, she said, hey, Dad, I'm going to walk down to the pond.
00:07:43.580 Like, alone?
00:07:46.120 Without your brother?
00:07:47.020 I mean, would I stop and think about how, you know, pretty protective.
00:07:57.780 Yeah, exactly.
00:07:59.160 I don't let him walk down to the end of the block, let alone, hey, why don't you walk to Honduras with a group of people that I don't know?
00:08:06.500 Good luck!
00:08:07.080 Now, look, there are situations you could argue, right?
00:08:10.080 Like, if you were in—you know, you're in North Korea, right, and you had a chance to get your kid out, you probably pulled the trigger on that whether you ever see them again or not, right?
00:08:18.420 There's a certain level of this.
00:08:19.860 And that's not to say that none of the people in these situations are like this.
00:08:24.500 There probably are some.
00:08:26.480 But it's just—you try to—it's the same thing with the Dreamers, right?
00:08:30.320 They try to give you the picture of everyone as a four-year-old who came across the border.
00:08:34.160 And in reality, like, most of them are teenagers.
00:08:36.320 Most of them were 16 and 17 years old.
00:08:39.420 This is a different—it's a different story.
00:08:42.080 And you just wonder, first of all, why you would do this, because it's a gift to Donald Trump.
00:08:46.500 If you want to talk about hardening the borders, this is an easy way to get people together to do that.
00:08:53.080 When people hear a story like this, it does not soften their hearts.
00:08:57.360 It makes people say, whoa, this—you know, because the word invasion gets used with illegal immigration sometimes from people who oppose it, you know, in a hawkish manner, right?
00:09:08.640 And, you know, like—
00:09:09.620 And 4,000 people can kind of qualify.
00:09:11.700 Right, like 4,000 people coming across the border, whether you like it or not, feels like an invasion, right?
00:09:17.040 It feels like—wait a minute.
00:09:18.560 It does.
00:09:18.780 They're just top—like, what they're talking—the only way they could do anything here is overrunning what we have, right?
00:09:24.360 Like, overrunning the security.
00:09:26.260 They're either coming in the right way, or they're overrunning security.
00:09:30.300 And you see that Mexico does not want to deal with this, but they know that they're not the end—they're not the end location.
00:09:37.100 So they can let them into Mexico and say, well, you guys apply for asylum, and in six months, you come back for that hearing, and of course, they're just going to keep walking north.
00:09:47.960 And it's interesting how other countries deal with this, and yet the vitriol directed at us for trying to deal with it in just even a fairly reasonable way.
00:10:01.100 Every time we do, we're hateful, we're uncaring, we're racist, whereas Mexico certainly protects their border.
00:10:10.260 Do you remember what Felipe Calderon said when he came to the United States and he was trying to influence our immigration policy?
00:10:15.900 Of course.
00:10:16.460 If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job, they can work.
00:10:26.060 If somebody do that without permissions, we send back them.
00:10:31.000 They send back them.
00:10:32.500 They send back them.
00:10:33.360 If they do it without permissions, they send back them.
00:10:35.960 But we can't.
00:10:38.040 We're expected to just accept everybody.
00:10:40.680 We don't know who they are.
00:10:41.800 We don't know what they're doing.
00:10:42.820 We don't know what they bring to us.
00:10:44.100 Mexico has a pretty stiff immigration law.
00:10:47.420 They've got a streamlined law that ensures foreign visitors and immigrants are in the country legally, have the means to sustain themselves economically.
00:10:59.160 They're not destined to be burdens on society.
00:11:02.020 They are of economic and social benefit to society.
00:11:05.940 Wait, you expect your immigrants to contribute?
00:11:09.720 They're of good character, no criminal background, and they're contributors to the general welfare and well-being of the nation.
00:11:18.600 They make sure that they don't have any sort of criminal record.
00:11:24.200 They make sure they do have visas.
00:11:26.240 They make sure that they ban foreign visitors from interfering in the country's internal politics.
00:11:32.480 I mean, can you think of it?
00:11:35.960 I mean, how many illegal immigrant protests have there been where they're waving the Mexican flags in our faces, where they're demanding rights that they think they have coming to them?
00:11:47.820 In Mexico, you can't even interfere in their internal politics.
00:11:54.960 Plus, if they think that you're going to throw off the balance of their demographics, they deport you.
00:12:03.060 I mean, that's blatantly racist, right?
00:12:06.740 Yes.
00:12:06.840 I mean, like, that is not an argument there.
00:12:09.340 We would never.
00:12:10.340 Never.
00:12:10.640 You can't do that.
00:12:11.300 No, you can't do that, and nor should you.
00:12:12.920 You shouldn't be like, well, I would like this percentage of African Americans and this percentage of white people.
00:12:16.220 We want to make sure we're still 70 or 80 percent.
00:12:19.200 Yeah, I mean, that's sick.
00:12:20.260 Would you?
00:12:20.760 I wouldn't.
00:12:21.460 I can't think of one Trump supporter who would support a policy where we had to keep the exact same percentages of white people versus other races.
00:12:32.260 What you want are people who are productive, who are here because they want to be here and be part of the society, who are going to add something to our community instead of taking things from it.
00:12:41.260 I mean, you know, that's what you want.
00:12:42.920 The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
00:12:44.280 That really is incredible.
00:12:45.520 It's mind-boggling.
00:12:46.180 It really is.
00:12:46.760 It's border security for me, but not for thee.
00:12:49.840 And that is not a, that is not a, that's incredible.
00:12:53.140 I mean, that's an incredible line there that they draw.
00:12:57.460 It is.
00:12:58.220 You know, it's not the right thing, and it's political.
00:13:01.600 Look, the bottom line is we have a lot of illegal immigrants here.
00:13:05.140 There will be more that are coming.
00:13:06.740 We need to tighten that up.
00:13:08.480 That is a completely, it's a larger argument that needs to be addressed, and we've, you know, been talking about it for years and years.
00:13:14.840 But politically speaking, you got three weeks to a midterm election.
00:13:19.420 There's no, like, this is a complete gift to the Republicans, to people who care about the border, to people who have any, to Donald Trump and the people he's supporting.
00:13:30.020 And it's a gift.
00:13:31.340 It is, and he's telling Republicans that.
00:13:34.140 Yeah.
00:13:34.360 Saying, hey, use this.
00:13:35.600 Use it.
00:13:36.320 In your election campaign.
00:13:38.520 Start talking about immigration.
00:13:40.020 Because I haven't heard any of them doing that.
00:13:44.160 Are any of the Republican candidates using immigration?
00:13:47.480 Not that I've heard.
00:13:48.240 I mean, maybe someone somewhere is.
00:13:50.300 But it doesn't seem to be a general theme for the party.
00:13:53.300 Yeah, I did hear Cruz talking about it in the debate.
00:13:55.400 I don't think, I don't know that he mentioned the caravan per se, but I mean, he was talking a lot about border security.
00:14:01.200 I mean, there's a really close race in Arizona.
00:14:03.420 A race where McSally has, I think, a great chance of winning.
00:14:07.640 Because her opponent there is like, if you took Michael Moore and put his brain into a female body of a congresswoman, you would have all of these tapes that they've been finding about her.
00:14:21.860 Where she's saying, you know, she's bashing Arizona.
00:14:24.560 She's saying it's the meth lab of democracy.
00:14:27.340 She's saying people are crazy in Arizona.
00:14:30.000 She's talking about how, I mean, she's on 9-11 truther shows.
00:14:34.300 I mean, she is, as, it's incredible that they've decided to run her and thought that this stuff would not come out.
00:14:42.140 And McSally is, you know, you're talking about one of the first female pilots in history of the Air Force.
00:14:48.980 Incredibly accomplished.
00:14:50.400 Has a great chance of winning in a tough environment in Arizona.
00:14:55.060 Adding on this situation where, you know, you basically have a code pink worker.
00:15:00.540 A code pink staffer is running for Senate in Arizona.
00:15:03.380 And it was a huge mistake, I think, for her to be their nominee.
00:15:08.200 Was she literally with code pink or you were just saying she's that ilk?
00:15:10.700 I'm summarizing her views.
00:15:12.200 I don't know exactly.
00:15:12.920 She's been with a lot of these left-wing extreme groups.
00:15:17.200 That's amazing.
00:15:18.020 In the early 2000s.
00:15:19.000 To the point where, again, like she like co-hosted a show with someone who's a 9-11 truther.
00:15:24.640 Wow.
00:15:25.060 For a while.
00:15:26.340 That's like.
00:15:27.240 It's crazy.
00:15:27.780 Bonkers over the line, right?
00:15:29.220 And the fact that you have a really solid candidate there in Arizona, it's a border state.
00:15:34.300 It's a big deal there.
00:15:35.520 Texas is another one.
00:15:36.560 The Cruz, you know, Cruz has got a lead there.
00:15:38.620 But, I mean, he's always been talking about border security.
00:15:41.120 But, again, look at the other side of that.
00:15:43.680 Yeah.
00:15:43.980 With Beto.
00:15:45.060 He doesn't want a wall.
00:15:46.520 He doesn't.
00:15:46.960 I don't know that he even wants a border, frankly.
00:15:49.360 Yeah.
00:15:49.520 It doesn't seem like it.
00:15:51.480 And he's made a big deal out of it.
00:15:53.340 Some of his ads are like, let's protect the Dreamers.
00:15:56.880 Let's protect the Dreamers.
00:15:58.940 And you know what that means?
00:15:59.780 It means amnesty for everybody.
00:16:02.340 It doesn't stop with the Dreamers.
00:16:04.360 And I think everybody who has watched this battle for the last 15 or 20 years knows it doesn't stop with the Dreamers.
00:16:11.960 They're going to.
00:16:12.760 They want amnesty for all illegals here.
00:16:15.860 All illegals.
00:16:16.580 Because you can't just say, all right, the Dreamers can stay.
00:16:20.300 Well, what about their parents?
00:16:21.560 Okay, yes, they can stay.
00:16:22.780 What about their cousins?
00:16:24.100 Okay.
00:16:24.860 It's the whole chain thing that Trump talks about from time to time.
00:16:28.240 That's what will happen if you grant the man amnesty.
00:16:31.220 Just talking about the Ted Cruz, Beto O'Rourke.
00:16:35.240 And for some reason, everybody, I guess including him, really emphasize it's Beto O'Rourke.
00:16:44.680 It's not Beto.
00:16:45.600 No, it's not Beto.
00:16:46.380 It's Beto.
00:16:46.860 It's Beto O'Rourke.
00:16:48.580 So anyway, that race continues to be pretty interesting.
00:16:53.680 Right now, it looks like Cruz has this pretty well in hand.
00:16:58.220 Right now.
00:16:59.040 He's up by seven, I think, on the average.
00:17:01.480 Yeah, he is up about by seven.
00:17:03.800 He, of course, is a deep Hispanic roots.
00:17:07.760 If you don't know what Beto is, it's a deep Hispanic nickname for this deeply Hispanic man whose name, Robert Francis O'Rourke, might not signify to you how Hispanic he is, which is why he's called Beto.
00:17:20.940 Right.
00:17:21.260 Beto.
00:17:21.960 Right.
00:17:22.220 But yeah, he was, I mean, I assume he probably was a dreamer, right?
00:17:27.340 He probably came here.
00:17:28.720 You would assume that.
00:17:30.220 He was in Ireland and dreamed of coming to the United States and then came here and became Hispanic.
00:17:34.780 And I think he believed he was until the Hispanic caucus said, no, that's not how this works.
00:17:41.140 So even the nickname didn't get him in.
00:17:43.120 I don't know.
00:17:44.100 That's weird, right?
00:17:45.060 Again, racism.
00:17:45.940 Exactly.
00:17:46.480 Here is Beto addressing his nickname.
00:17:49.780 Congressman, throughout the campaign, you have been attacked for being what Don Jr. has called an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic.
00:17:55.760 So what does the Hispanic community mean to you and what relationships do you have with that community?
00:18:00.660 So to clarify the question about my name, I was born Robert Francis O'Rourke, son of Pat Francis O'Rourke, who was the son of John Francis O'Rourke.
00:18:09.040 That sounds great Hispanic.
00:18:09.720 Father to Ulysses Francis O'Rourke, who will go as UFO for much of his life.
00:18:15.280 And from day one in El Paso, and you know this in McAllen, if you are born Robert or Albert or Gilbert or Humberto, your folks, your friends, your community calls you Beto.
00:18:27.460 That's my nickname that I've gone by for my entire life.
00:18:32.060 Born and raised in the fourth generation in El Paso in a community that is more than 80% Mexican-American.
00:18:40.520 First of all, I'm not Hispanic.
00:18:42.740 No one calls me any name other than Stu at this point, which isn't even my name either.
00:18:50.600 You can criticize me the same way you can talk about Beto because that's actually not my name.
00:18:54.000 My name's Steve.
00:18:55.580 And inexplicably, I am called Stu.
00:18:58.460 Thanks a lot to Glenn Beck for that one.
00:19:00.680 But what I would say there is, first of all, it's just an inefficient process.
00:19:04.080 I don't mean to criticize the culture of the Hispanic people.
00:19:08.820 But if it's true what Beto is saying, which is anyone who's named any of four names are all called Beto.
00:19:16.680 Is that true?
00:19:17.660 No.
00:19:18.400 Everyone who's called Albert is called Beto?
00:19:21.600 No.
00:19:21.960 Everyone?
00:19:22.720 Really?
00:19:23.200 Everybody born in El Paso that's of Irish-American descent.
00:19:27.760 That's named Albert or Robert?
00:19:29.820 And named Robert Francis.
00:19:30.620 They're called Beto, all of them?
00:19:33.440 No, it's not true.
00:19:34.360 I would love to know if we could go and find an actual Robert in El Paso.
00:19:38.740 Do any exist?
00:19:39.920 Maybe we could hear from somebody in El Paso.
00:19:41.700 If you were in El Paso or anywhere around there and your name is Robert, I'd love to know if you exist.
00:19:46.200 Because what we were just told is, as everyone knows, if you happen to grow up in El Paso and your name is Robert, Bill, Ted, Stanley, Orlando, or Reginald, you're referred to as Beto.
00:19:58.520 That can't be true.
00:20:00.280 No, it can't.
00:20:00.960 It can't be true.
00:20:01.720 I don't think he can, and I don't think it is.
00:20:04.680 I'm not saying it's not a common nickname in some communities.
00:20:06.980 It probably is, but it wasn't his community.
00:20:08.420 And is it not cultural appropriation?
00:20:10.440 Did he not appropriate Hispanic culture?
00:20:12.520 Yeah.
00:20:13.300 How is that not a problem?
00:20:15.200 If that is a thing, this is an example of it.
00:20:18.180 Yes.
00:20:19.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:20.760 Congressman, throughout the campaign, you have been attacked for being what Don Jr. has called an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic.
00:20:27.000 So what does the Hispanic community mean to you, and what relationships do you have with that community?
00:20:30.700 So to clarify the question about my name, I was born Robert Francis O'Rourke, son of Pat Francis O'Rourke, who was the son of John Francis O'Rourke, father to Ulysses Francis O'Rourke, who will go as UFO for much of his life.
00:20:46.200 And from day one in El Paso, and you know this in McAllen, if you are born Robert or Albert or Gilbert or Humberto, your folks, your friends, your community calls you Beto.
00:20:58.400 That's my nickname that I've gone by for my entire life.
00:21:02.580 Born and raised in the fourth generation in El Paso in a community that is more than 80% Mexican-American.
00:21:09.780 Okay, so if you're born Robert, Albert, Gilbert, Humberto, Paul, Frank, Blaine, Biff, Dave, Don, Jack, or Frank, you're called Beto.
00:21:34.920 And Frank twice, right?
00:21:35.960 Yes.
00:21:36.180 I just want to make sure.
00:21:36.700 Yes.
00:21:37.040 Okay.
00:21:37.540 Because that's true, as we just learned.
00:21:40.200 And that's an amazing accuracy.
00:21:41.560 Now remember, I didn't realize too, he said it's not just El Paso, it's also McAllen.
00:21:46.240 So I guess this is all over Texas, is apparently what's true here.
00:21:49.460 Yeah.
00:21:49.680 And one of the things I would love to do today, to see, to test this, is it true that there is no example of someone named Robert, Albert, Gilbert, or Humberto who was not named what they're, you know, so if you were Gilbert and people call you Gilbert, apparently to Beto, you do not exist.
00:22:12.520 You are not a person, you're not, it's, we just, we have no evidence that you exist.
00:22:17.100 So if you happen to be a Robert, an Albert, a Gilbert, or an Humberto.
00:22:22.560 Well, if you're Humberto, obviously you're probably going to have a Hispanic nickname, right?
00:22:28.600 That's kind of a Hispanic name.
00:22:29.940 I would probably think Humberto.
00:22:31.800 Yeah.
00:22:32.140 I don't know what you would shorten Humberto to, except maybe Beto, I guess.
00:22:35.720 Yeah.
00:22:35.940 I don't know any people who are not Hispanic.
00:22:39.320 Yeah.
00:22:39.700 Who are named Humberto.
00:22:40.960 And this is an opportunity for us, Pat and Stu, two white, white, whiteys.
00:22:47.660 We're talking whitey, whitey to the max.
00:22:50.140 Two of the whitest people you'll ever know, with almost no cultural awareness whatsoever, to be learned here.
00:22:57.180 We can be taught about Hispanic culture.
00:23:01.260 I mean, Beto has been white-splaining us some Hispanic culture here over the past few months.
00:23:05.900 But I would like to know from people who actually grew up in these areas, is it true that everyone—I'm sure there are some examples.
00:23:13.560 I can think of one off the top of my head who's named Robert Francis O'Rourke and calls himself Beto.
00:23:19.120 But is this a common thing to the point of—I believe his standard was everyone who gets named one of those names in Texas or in these communities would be referred to as Beto.
00:23:32.100 Is it possible?
00:23:33.960 Is there a unicorn out there that is named Robert and is only called Bob?
00:23:39.460 Is there someone out there who is named Albert and is called Al?
00:23:43.260 Is that a unicorn?
00:23:44.980 Is that a mythical being, or does that exist?
00:23:48.140 888-727-BECK.
00:23:49.940 888-727-2325.
00:23:52.360 If you happen to be someone named Robert—
00:23:55.660 And you're born in El Paso, or grew up in El Paso, or McAllen.
00:23:59.840 Yeah, I mean—
00:24:00.560 Somewhere along the border.
00:24:01.500 Or along the border of Texas, in southern Texas somewhere.
00:24:05.000 Or I suppose it would also apply in Arizona, right?
00:24:08.120 Yeah.
00:24:08.420 Or California.
00:24:09.880 Yeah, any—I mean, he didn't—he limited it to, I would say, Texas border area.
00:24:14.800 But I would be interested to see if this is a widespread phenomenon.
00:24:17.280 Yeah.
00:24:17.540 Is it possible?
00:24:18.780 Can a mother name their kid Gilbert and not have them referred to as Beto their entire life?
00:24:24.980 Is that a possibility?
00:24:26.080 I don't know.
00:24:26.780 I am just not in tuned to the cultural developments as much as I should be.
00:24:31.700 And, you know, please come and whitesplain this to us.
00:24:35.820 Because we are just—that's not our role here, Pat.
00:24:38.520 We're just too white.
00:24:39.640 We can't understand things like this.
00:24:41.300 Exactly.
00:24:42.180 Let me admit it.
00:24:42.840 I'll just admit it.
00:24:43.900 To me, Beto, referring to himself as Beto, feels like a guy who wants to take advantage of the Hispanic community for votes.
00:24:52.620 And I know that can't be true.
00:24:54.700 But it's just because I'm too white to understand it.
00:24:57.900 I can't quite get there.
00:24:59.340 I can't clear that hurdle to understand why someone would do that.
00:25:04.760 And we will soon find out to see if we can find any Roberts who are actually Roberts.
00:25:09.400 It looks like we have a Joe Robert, who no doubt is Beto, calling from El Paso.
00:25:15.660 Joe Robert?
00:25:17.160 Yes.
00:25:17.800 Cheers.
00:25:18.240 Is it more preferred for us to refer to you as Beto?
00:25:22.860 No, no.
00:25:23.880 Not even Jose.
00:25:24.880 Don't even call me Jose either.
00:25:26.660 No.
00:25:27.760 Okay.
00:25:28.200 What is your actual given name?
00:25:31.060 My birth name is Joe.
00:25:32.420 J-O-E, first name, Robert, R-O-B-E-R-T.
00:25:35.880 And I don't let anybody call me anything else.
00:25:38.220 So when someone calls you up, how do they refer to you?
00:25:41.660 Well, they don't say my middle name mostly because I don't give it out unless it's, you know, for formal stuff.
00:25:46.280 But just Joe.
00:25:47.780 Joe, my last name.
00:25:49.940 Not Beto.
00:25:51.320 Not Beto.
00:25:52.140 I'm not Bob either.
00:25:53.180 I'm not Joe Bob either.
00:25:54.960 Let me ask you this.
00:25:55.880 And this is, why did you call National Radio and lie?
00:25:59.780 Because we know everyone in these areas that has Robert is Beto.
00:26:03.960 Why would you lie?
00:26:05.260 No.
00:26:05.620 All those names he mentioned, it does depend on if they want to be called Beto.
00:26:11.020 It is a nickname.
00:26:12.420 It's, I don't know what it is.
00:26:13.600 But I've known all those people, and I've always called them either Albert, Umberto, you know, and the other one Gilbert.
00:26:19.400 I didn't even know Gilbert was Beto, but that's new to me.
00:26:22.520 But do they, do a lot of white guys call themselves Beto, or do other people call them Beto?
00:26:28.380 Actually, he's the first one that I know of Beto.
00:26:30.540 So, Joe, what is your background?
00:26:36.480 What's your ethnic background?
00:26:38.600 I am Hispanic, you know, by Latin descent.
00:26:42.640 A lot of people, I get a lot of griefs because they say I'm Mexican-American, but I refute that.
00:26:48.440 I'm not refuting it because I'm ashamed of it.
00:26:50.700 I do have Mexican background, but my surname, which of course I'm not going to give out, is from Spain.
00:26:56.980 My surname, my last name.
00:26:58.300 Hmm, so this is fascinating.
00:27:01.000 You are, in the Hispanic community, you have Robert in your name.
00:27:05.160 You are not called Beto, and you know the people that you refer to in the Hispanic community with the names Robert, Albert, Gilbert, and Umberto, you refer to by their actual names.
00:27:15.000 Yes, I do.
00:27:15.940 Hmm, this is an interesting piece of evidence.
00:27:18.240 We found the unicorn that you spoke of.
00:27:19.300 You're the only one.
00:27:20.800 Stu, that's amazing.
00:27:21.200 We know there's one.
00:27:22.020 We should send this to Beto so he doesn't make this mistake next time on CNN.
00:27:25.480 I don't want him to go down a road where he's making mistakes and saying things that blatantly aren't true on national television.
00:27:32.300 That would be terrible for him.
00:27:33.900 We're just trying to help.
00:27:34.660 We're trying to help here, and so is Joe.
00:27:36.500 Thank you, Joe, for calling in, and I would love to hear from more people.
00:27:39.520 If you happen to be Robert, Albert, Gilbert, or Umberto, or happen to live in a Hispanic community where you know someone of these names, is that always how you refer to it?
00:27:52.480 Because that is the standard set by Beto, and I'm curious to see if there are more unicorns out there.
00:27:59.740 We've discovered something today.
00:28:01.300 Look at the work we've done.
00:28:02.200 This is hour one.
00:28:03.160 It's incredible.
00:28:03.580 We've already uncovered something that people have told us did not exist.
00:28:07.960 It's a miracle, and all this hard research we've put into this today by giving out the phone number once or twice, and shockingly, we were able to uncover somebody.
00:28:18.960 So we'll see if there's more out there.
00:28:20.100 I don't know if there is.
00:28:20.860 I assume he's the only one.
00:28:22.000 We've done a lot of digging so far, so maybe it'll produce more fruit.
00:28:26.140 I don't know.
00:28:27.240 Richard in Texas.
00:28:28.420 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:28:29.700 Hi.
00:28:31.120 Hey, guys.
00:28:31.700 My name is Richard.
00:28:32.520 I'm out here in El Paso.
00:28:34.300 Okay.
00:28:34.840 The first thing I'd like to say is that there's really not that many Latinos named Francis.
00:28:41.540 So that's my first point.
00:28:44.320 Okay.
00:28:44.620 Your second point that you were mentioning, I would say that 95% of the people that are named in the names that you mentioned do go by Beto.
00:28:53.660 That's a high percentage.
00:28:54.860 I mean, that's a lot.
00:28:56.480 And I am a Latino, and I am an American citizen.
00:29:00.860 All right.
00:29:01.500 Well, thank you very much.
00:29:02.820 That's what happens here in our community.
00:29:05.720 Okay.
00:29:06.080 So you do know a lot of guys, like a lot of white guys that go by Beto?
00:29:12.260 No.
00:29:12.860 No.
00:29:15.340 Okay.
00:29:15.740 So the guys you're talking about here, the 95%...
00:29:19.040 Any of the white guys here are called gringos.
00:29:21.160 Right.
00:29:21.680 Yes.
00:29:22.200 Okay.
00:29:22.700 So this is an interesting distinction.
00:29:24.560 You're saying in the Hispanic community, people of Hispanic descent with some of these names are called Beto.
00:29:30.000 But the people who are white named Robert Francis do not go by Beto.
00:29:34.320 No.
00:29:35.140 Yeah.
00:29:35.460 Okay.
00:29:35.700 That makes sense.
00:29:36.340 Okay.
00:29:36.460 Well, I don't think this one helps Beto that much.
00:29:39.320 Not at all.
00:29:40.160 I don't think it does, but thank you.
00:29:41.580 Thanks, Richard.
00:29:42.240 Again, look, there's a couple of unicorns out there.
00:29:44.320 We're going to...
00:29:44.740 Yes.
00:29:44.920 You can always...
00:29:45.720 When you're searching for horses, you're going to find a couple with horns on their head.
00:29:49.780 That's just one of the things.
00:29:50.960 Some of them are going to be able to fly.
00:29:52.800 It's part of the...
00:29:53.760 It's just part of the experience when you're looking to find a horse.
00:29:57.000 Hey, look at that one.
00:29:57.800 It's got...
00:29:58.220 It happens to be rainbow colored and is flying through the sky.
00:30:01.340 Everyone has those moments.
00:30:02.260 And you say, huh?
00:30:03.760 How about that?
00:30:04.340 I'm just curious.
00:30:05.100 I'm just concerned.
00:30:06.620 Yeah.
00:30:06.920 Because, you know, look, CNN is the place where they're going to dig deep and get the facts
00:30:12.260 on this.
00:30:12.720 And fact check this guy.
00:30:13.120 Yeah.
00:30:13.380 He's going to get a massive fact check at some point today.
00:30:15.940 Because apparently, we're hearing from El Paso that people that are white named Robert
00:30:20.960 Francis are not typically called Beto.
00:30:23.340 This is...
00:30:23.880 I mean...
00:30:24.380 And we don't doubt at all that if you have Hispanic background and your name is Robert
00:30:29.020 or Umberto, that you're called Beto.
00:30:31.940 That doesn't...
00:30:32.620 I'm not surprised by that at all.
00:30:34.140 What would surprise me is if a lot of Roberts, who are just white guys, that usually go
00:30:39.220 by Bob in this culture, are going by Beto.
00:30:42.980 Now, can you...
00:30:43.480 One interesting thing we could do with Robert Francis O'Rourke is you could call him Bob
00:30:47.240 Frank O'Rourke, too, right?
00:30:48.820 We could go with Bob Frank O'Rourke.
00:30:51.600 You could.
00:30:52.200 Yes, you could.
00:30:52.820 Bob Frank O'Rourke is not...
00:30:54.380 It doesn't connect as deeply to the Hispanic community.
00:30:57.860 I wouldn't say Bob Frank.
00:30:58.860 But I'm sure he...
00:31:00.960 That had nothing to do with his consideration by putting Beto on all of his signs.
00:31:04.660 Now, we all, of course, know that he was calling himself Bob on television when he was in a band.
00:31:10.200 Yeah.
00:31:10.520 And that band performed on television in El Paso on their morning show.
00:31:16.120 And he brought his incredible guitar stylings to the show.
00:31:20.580 And it was getting late in the show.
00:31:23.060 And the host of the show was concerned that they got to start playing because the show was about over.
00:31:29.520 But listen to what he calls him here.
00:31:32.960 Bob, I'm afraid the show's going to be over.
00:31:34.760 Bob, I'm afraid the show's going to be over before you...
00:31:36.860 So, he's talking to Beto, I believe, at that time.
00:31:41.940 And then you hear the guitar stylings of Beto himself.
00:31:45.060 And he's incredibly talented.
00:31:47.080 Wow.
00:31:47.920 And listen to this guy.
00:31:48.980 It's good.
00:31:50.880 This isn't really him, is it?
00:31:52.380 Yeah.
00:31:52.820 This is actually Beto playing guitar.
00:31:55.800 But this is the band he's...
00:31:57.220 Yeah.
00:31:58.060 And then they kick it into gear, man.
00:31:59.920 And it's...
00:32:00.800 Listen to that.
00:32:01.460 It's the guitar stylings of Beto Francis O'Rourke.
00:32:07.540 Bob Frank?
00:32:08.460 Of Bob Frank O'Rourke.
00:32:10.460 Wow.
00:32:10.860 That is...
00:32:11.360 Talented.
00:32:12.200 But he's called Bob.
00:32:14.200 Hey, Bob, I'm worried you're not going to get a sign.
00:32:16.660 Listen carefully.
00:32:20.200 Bob, I'm afraid the show's going to be over before you get there.
00:32:25.100 That's embarrassing.
00:32:26.800 This is just a one giant embarrassment of a campaign, isn't it?
00:32:30.760 It is.
00:32:31.100 Yeah, it is.
00:32:31.640 I mean, the fact that this guy's caught on with the left, I mean, this man...
00:32:36.460 They want to run him for president in 2020.
00:32:38.520 He's raised more money than any Senate candidate in history for a quarter.
00:32:43.040 That's how much they love this guy.
00:32:44.200 He raised more in this quarter than Barack Obama did back in 2008.
00:32:48.680 That's incredible.
00:32:49.660 Is that amazing?
00:32:50.200 And because why?
00:32:50.820 He made a speech about the NFL where he said it was okay to kneel because they...
00:32:54.540 I guess.
00:32:55.200 I guess that's it.
00:32:55.840 Couldn't think of anything more American than that?
00:32:58.300 You know, I can think of several things more American than that.
00:33:00.840 Yeah, a lot.
00:33:01.980 I don't think I understand it, but maybe we'll get more evidence from El Paso.
00:33:07.320 And this will show us that there's only two.
00:33:08.860 There's only two people who would possibly disagree with the story from Beto O'Rourke in these communities.
00:33:13.540 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:24.640 So this is an ad being run in Arkansas.
00:33:28.180 It's related to Brett Kavanaugh, and it's being criticized.
00:33:31.520 I don't know if you can detect anything here, Pat.
00:33:33.860 I would like to get your call on whether you can detect anything.
00:33:36.920 Seems a little odd here.
00:33:38.900 Here is the ad from the group supporting French Hill.
00:33:42.880 What do you think about what's happening in Washington?
00:33:45.260 Our congressman, French Hill, and the Republicans know that it's dangerous to change the presumption of innocence to a presumption of guilt, especially for black men.
00:33:54.120 If the Democrats can do that to a white justice of the Supreme Court with no evidence, no corroboration, and all of her witnesses, including her best friend, say it didn't happen, what will happen to our husbands, our fathers, or our sons when a white girl lies on them?
00:34:11.240 Girl, white Democrats will be lynching black folk again.
00:34:14.480 Honey, I've always told my son, don't be messing around with that.
00:34:18.540 If you get caught, she will cry rape.
00:34:20.960 I'm voting to keep Congressman French Hill and the Republicans because we have to protect our men and boys.
00:34:28.000 We can't afford to let white Democrats take us back to bad old days of race verdicts, life sentences, and lynchings when a white girl screams rape.
00:34:37.100 Paid for by black Americans for the president's agenda.
00:34:39.860 Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
00:34:42.660 First of all, I would totally watch a show with them hosting it.
00:34:45.540 I would, too.
00:34:46.300 This sounds fantastic.
00:34:47.640 And these are obviously real points they're making.
00:34:49.940 The point of, and this is a fascinating thing from the left, who thinks that, you know, one of the biggest reasons Beto is in the public eye in the United States and not just a Texas figure is because of this video he made about it's a great idea to kneel for the national anthem.
00:35:09.260 And what's behind that story?
00:35:11.500 People like Colin Kaepernick saying that black people are being unfairly accused without evidence and being shot in the streets for no reason because for crimes they didn't commit.
00:35:20.580 But at the same time, we're supposed to get on board, if you're on the left, you're supposed to get on board with a new standard in which any white woman can accuse a man of rape and we're just supposed to believe her.
00:35:37.040 That is not going to work out well for African Americans or any race of male.
00:35:41.760 But this is the type of thing that makes no sense.
00:35:44.040 I mean, there are real cases of this.
00:35:45.960 This isn't a fake thing.
00:35:47.040 Go back to, you know, we talked about Tilltown.
00:35:49.100 Go back to Emmett Till.
00:35:50.320 I mean, this goes back a long way where black people were accused of doing terrible things to white people when they didn't and entire communities went and attacked the black person.
00:35:59.980 This is obviously going back quite a ways, but it is something that legitimately is part of our history.
00:36:05.600 And it's surprising at the least if liberals actually cared about black people and black men like they say that they do, that they would want to embrace a standard like this.
00:36:14.880 So the point behind the ad, I think, is relatively fair and is something that should be communicated, I think, to the African American community.
00:36:22.680 The criticism is perhaps a little overdone.
00:36:27.080 Potentially.
00:36:28.040 That is the criticism here.
00:36:29.780 And it's interesting because I don't think it's a – it's not – it does not – I don't know for sure on this.
00:36:35.140 But what I've – my understanding is that these are – the people who recorded this are African Americans.
00:36:40.680 There's not like a white person doing a black voice, quote unquote.
00:36:44.400 These are African Americans talking.
00:36:47.180 And I guess the idea is that they have picked the stereotypical African Americans to do the commercial.
00:36:54.260 It's very uncomfortable.
00:36:55.420 I don't think that this is something that French Hill necessarily is embracing by any means.
00:37:00.500 But it is something that's making a lot of – a lot of waves in the media because they're trying to make it seem like, well, this is just this Republican and who's a racist.
00:37:11.180 I mean, A, he didn't have anything to do with the ad.
00:37:14.020 But besides that, it is – it's an interesting double standard that we find ourselves dealing with.
00:37:19.460 Always.
00:37:19.660 Always.
00:37:20.200 Yeah.
00:37:20.640 And we get that double standard in – to the 10th power.
00:37:25.840 And, you know, I guess we get kind of used to it by now.
00:37:29.240 I'm just sort of used to the double standard and to the point where you almost feel silly bringing up the double standard.
00:37:36.940 It is.
00:37:37.160 Because it happens so much.
00:37:37.960 It is.
00:37:38.480 And it's – but it's so obvious sometimes you have to.
00:37:40.760 For example, does anyone – I mean, if you don't live in French Hill's district, do you know who French Hill is?
00:37:45.580 He's not a major –
00:37:46.560 I actually don't.
00:37:47.300 Yeah, he's not a major national figure as a congressperson.
00:37:51.740 So, you know, like I think this wouldn't be a big national story.
00:37:55.460 It is a big national story today.
00:37:56.880 What is not a big national story is a name that almost everyone knows, Louis Farrakhan.
00:38:01.420 Louis Farrakhan is not a big national story today.
00:38:03.760 He's making no waves at all for his comments yet again about Jews.
00:38:08.860 Now, this is a person who has met with, you know, people like Keith Ellison.
00:38:14.220 He has met with several congressmen.
00:38:16.680 He's been embraced many times.
00:38:18.760 But even, you know, fairly recently, people meeting with him.
00:38:22.300 We know that Barack Obama at one point apparently had met with him.
00:38:26.000 We didn't find that out until, like, he was out of office.
00:38:28.060 Yeah.
00:38:28.180 How that happens is amazing.
00:38:30.180 But here is the latest from Louis Farrakhan.
00:38:33.480 Remember, every knock is a boost.
00:38:37.660 So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you know what they do, call me an anti-Semite.
00:38:51.740 Stop it.
00:38:53.760 I'm anti-termite.
00:38:58.400 I don't know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference.
00:39:04.720 Okay.
00:39:06.180 Right.
00:39:06.900 Yeah.
00:39:07.260 You didn't know anything about hating somebody because of their religion.
00:39:10.620 Really?
00:39:11.220 Really.
00:39:11.780 You just, you seemingly just called Jewish people termites.
00:39:15.960 Yeah, you don't know nothing about that.
00:39:17.540 He said more clearly than that, that that's what he's talking about in other speeches.
00:39:21.320 Wow.
00:39:22.560 Pretty amazing.
00:39:23.540 The other thing that's interesting about Louis Farrakhan is nobody loves Louis Farrakhan more than Louis Farrakhan.
00:39:28.720 Oh, that's for sure.
00:39:29.520 I mean, this guy thinks he's really clever.
00:39:31.160 Yeah, he does.
00:39:31.900 Every rhyming line, he's got this gigantic smile on his face like he's uncovered some deep historical truth or solved, you know, a perpetual motion machine.
00:39:44.480 The guy is like.
00:39:45.440 He put everybody in their place just now by slamming them down.
00:39:49.220 I don't know nothing about hating no religious group.
00:39:52.780 I'm not anti-Semite.
00:39:54.360 I'm anti-termite.
00:39:55.600 Like, he thinks that's awesome.
00:39:56.960 Yeah, he does.
00:39:57.540 He's really excited about himself that he realized both of those words and in ite.
00:40:02.640 Like, he is excited about discovering that.
00:40:04.980 That was an amazing revelation to him.
00:40:08.220 This is something that he's hanging around and he's like, I don't have any speeches scheduled.
00:40:12.240 Schedule one.
00:40:13.000 We need a speech just for this line.
00:40:14.740 That's how excited he looks when he delivers that.
00:40:17.740 He's really pumped up about it.
00:40:19.640 And I don't think he got the requisite reaction from the crowd.
00:40:22.780 I think he wanted more of a, you know, a gasp or a laugh or something.
00:40:28.500 He just kind of got, wait, I don't know how to respond to that.
00:40:32.100 That was kind of a bad statement.
00:40:34.340 I don't think, I think he's going to be in trouble for that.
00:40:37.100 I'll give him this though.
00:40:38.020 The words do end in a similar fashion.
00:40:40.060 They do.
00:40:40.340 So that is something that he was able to nail.
00:40:42.120 They do.
00:40:42.500 Uh-huh.
00:40:42.900 Termite and Semite.
00:40:44.260 So that's why, that's why he said it that way.
00:40:46.860 Powerful.
00:40:48.240 Powerful.
00:40:49.460 That's really funny.
00:40:50.400 He's like, he's just like, he's so happy.
00:40:53.200 He looks so happy as he delivers these.
00:40:55.480 I mean, I can't wait to deliver genocide upon the Jews.
00:40:59.920 And he just big smiles.
00:41:01.660 As long as he can come up with something that rhymes, you know, people have simple pleasures.
00:41:07.640 And I think that's, you know, he's got a couple of things he's asking for.
00:41:10.820 Rhyming words and killing the Jews.
00:41:12.260 Other than that.
00:41:13.060 Yeah.
00:41:13.280 Just come on.
00:41:13.980 You know, maybe a good cup of iced tea.
00:41:16.300 You know, something, something, the simple pleasures beyond that.
00:41:19.420 I mean, he's, he's, he's said some pretty outrageous things that get very little coverage.
00:41:24.820 And this is another one.
00:41:26.300 Um, people just, they seem to kind of ignore him and act like, uh, he's not there supporting Democrats.
00:41:34.740 He's kind of not there, you know, at the very edge of the left.
00:41:38.580 Uh, but if anybody on the right, again, this is the double standard had said anything approaching
00:41:46.980 that, uh, about any, can you imagine if somebody on the right had said something like that about
00:41:54.940 Muslims, would that be everywhere?
00:41:57.040 It would be everywhere, uh, on the mainstream media.
00:42:01.840 Uh, but he, for some reason kind of flies under the radar and gets away with all of this stuff.
00:42:08.740 Uh, I mean, I, he still hasn't really suffered any consequences from talking about killing
00:42:16.120 Malcolm X even, um, which he pretty much admitted, which he pretty much admitted with this.
00:42:22.460 Yeah.
00:42:22.880 I love Elijah Muhammad enough that if you attack him, I will kill you yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
00:42:32.300 And I'm not a killer, but neither are you.
00:42:36.380 But if somebody attacked what you love, each one of you in here would become a killer instantaneously.
00:42:47.280 We don't give a damn about no white man law when you attack what we love.
00:42:53.580 Okay.
00:42:54.640 Mm-hmm.
00:42:57.520 Hmm.
00:42:58.080 It ain't none of your business.
00:43:07.920 Mm-hmm.
00:43:09.420 What have you got to say about it?
00:43:11.900 Did you teach Malcolm?
00:43:14.040 Did you make Malcolm?
00:43:16.140 Did you clean up Malcolm?
00:43:18.400 Did you put Malcolm out before the world?
00:43:21.880 Was Malcolm your traitor or was he ours?
00:43:24.320 And if we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell business is
00:43:30.540 it of yours?
00:43:32.300 Is that amazing?
00:43:33.040 I mean, that's an, uh, almost an exact admission.
00:43:36.460 Uh-huh.
00:43:36.780 That he murdered somebody.
00:43:37.980 Yeah, that we killed, yeah, we killed men.
00:43:39.660 Uh, it's none of your business, though.
00:43:41.040 We don't follow your white man law.
00:43:42.620 No.
00:43:43.000 Wait, not murdering somebody is white man law?
00:43:46.020 I hope that's not true.
00:43:46.880 I don't think that's true.
00:43:48.260 No, I don't think it is either.
00:43:49.220 And by the way, his Twitter account's still active.
00:43:51.040 In case you were, if you have a conservative that recently had his account removed, he
00:43:55.340 could still get Lewis.
00:43:56.700 Lewis could still keep posting these, uh, these videos.
00:43:59.700 Yeah, the Jewish termite thing was posted on Twitter.
00:44:02.240 Yeah, I mean.
00:44:02.620 They didn't shut him down.
00:44:03.380 This is absolute Hitler stuff we're talking about.
00:44:05.460 This is Hitler stuff.
00:44:06.560 This is, this is Third Reich stuff.
00:44:08.940 This is, you know, the architect of the Third Reich, Beto Spears stuff.
00:44:14.940 It's just not right.
00:44:16.220 No.
00:44:16.480 No, that's, that's not, we're getting deep, we're getting deep down here.
00:44:22.080 But I think it's important to point out, this is, I mean, that's scary.
00:44:25.400 It is.
00:44:26.040 That is, uh, that's scary.
00:44:27.520 And it's the fact that he continues to get away with it with no repercussions still.
00:44:31.460 No.
00:44:31.700 I mean, like, yeah, yes, if you ask a Democrat, uh, publicly, will you distance yourself from
00:44:38.280 this guy?
00:44:39.300 Most of them will say yes.
00:44:41.020 They will distance themselves.
00:44:41.920 I have nothing to do with him.
00:44:43.420 They will, they will attempt that.
00:44:44.760 Then you find pictures of them together.
00:44:46.800 Right.
00:44:47.020 Like Barack Obama.
00:44:48.760 Comes out later.
00:44:49.760 But at least, they're at the point that the only real repercussions this guy has faced
00:44:54.020 for any of this anti-Semitism is, you know, basically that he occasionally gets a public
00:45:01.000 denial from a public source.
00:45:03.440 And remember, he, he was, uh, he said that very early on with Obama saying that he, he
00:45:10.620 said he would say this.
00:45:12.040 Yeah.
00:45:12.120 He's going to distance himself from me, but that's okay.
00:45:13.800 As long as he does the right thing.
00:45:15.380 Right.
00:45:15.860 You know, I mean, so this is, uh, it's, it's a terrifying thing.
00:45:19.640 And the idea that, I mean, certainly the, the, you know, you remember the million man
00:45:24.380 march, right?
00:45:25.340 And which, you know, was not million, but it was a lot of people.
00:45:28.060 Uh, you, the nation of Islam is not a group of, of 20 here yet.
00:45:32.520 We'll find the Jews will not replace us guys from Charlottesville.
00:45:35.500 Gosh, that's a national story.
00:45:37.020 And we talk about that for years and years and years and years.
00:45:39.500 The biggest story of all time.
00:45:40.900 Yeah.
00:45:41.200 I mean, these guys, you know, it's a much larger contingency here.
00:45:44.240 Much.
00:45:44.540 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:46:19.200 We have the story about Kleenex rebanding their man-sized tissues because of the gender
00:46:25.820 backlash.
00:46:26.880 Yeah.
00:46:27.200 Wait, what did they do?
00:46:28.600 Um, there, well, there's been, many people have complained meant in the story, uh, and
00:46:32.820 from, uh, Kimberly Clark, who is the maker of Kleenex.
00:46:36.540 Um, many people have complained that man-sized tissues.
00:46:40.920 It's a, it's offensive.
00:46:42.300 We're sexist and not inclusive.
00:46:44.540 Yeah.
00:46:45.060 Yeah.
00:46:45.460 So they're all complaining about, uh, you know, lady footlocker too, right?
00:46:50.240 Like there's, they're all complaining about things that are designed specifically for
00:46:52.900 women.
00:46:53.400 No.
00:46:54.240 Are you, what are you trying to make fun of this?
00:46:56.380 Yeah.
00:46:56.700 Is that what you're doing?
00:46:58.020 Oh my gosh.
00:46:58.580 I'm saying that.
00:46:59.240 Are you a misogynist?
00:47:00.460 Are you the leader of the man-vertising campaign?
00:47:03.000 Man-vertising.
00:47:04.300 I mean, that's enough out of you.
00:47:08.340 What is it?
00:47:08.720 I mean, I honestly, this is an honest question.
00:47:10.800 What, what do, what's the difference between a female and a male tissue?
00:47:15.240 How does that work?
00:47:16.440 What's that?
00:47:16.740 Well, look, there's, there's a difference because it's called man size.
00:47:19.980 So it's just bigger.
00:47:20.700 It's just, yes, it's bigger.
00:47:22.100 A bigger tissue.
00:47:22.920 Yes.
00:47:23.020 And it, and it's just, what it is is, and he actually said man-vertising.
00:47:27.280 That's what they're calling it.
00:47:28.420 So listen, man-vertising.
00:47:29.860 And Kleenex.
00:47:30.520 I like that term though.
00:47:31.560 Yes.
00:47:31.900 It's fun.
00:47:32.380 And Kleenex has said it no way.
00:47:34.240 We no way suggest that being both soft and strong is an exclusively masculine trait.
00:47:39.900 They by no way are saying that.
00:47:41.700 No way.
00:47:42.460 Not by saying it's a man-sized.
00:47:44.040 We believe that man-sized branding suggests or endorses gender inequality.
00:47:48.060 No way.
00:47:48.620 No way.
00:47:49.380 So they're keeping the man-sized?
00:47:50.880 They're sticking by it?
00:47:51.700 Well, they're going to keep the actual product, but they're going to, you know, rebrand it.
00:47:56.380 Of course, they're going to rebrand it.
00:47:57.480 They're going to rebrand it.
00:47:58.140 To what?
00:47:59.880 Kleenex extra large.
00:48:01.300 Oh, jeez.
00:48:02.820 Now, on behalf, I like to say this, that I believe that's fat shaming.
00:48:07.860 I like it.
00:48:08.360 Okay, I want them to, I want that off.
00:48:10.300 That extra large stuff, no way.
00:48:11.760 I think you can push this.
00:48:13.200 I want you to, I want you to complain to corporate headquarters in Kleenex.
00:48:16.320 I want you to complain.
00:48:17.520 That's amazing.
00:48:18.000 Seriously, let's get them away from even the extra large, because yes.
00:48:22.300 What are you, a triple, quadruple extra large?
00:48:24.660 What are you, 5X?
00:48:25.640 Extra large is in the name.
00:48:26.860 Yeah.
00:48:27.420 And that's offensive to you.
00:48:28.860 It is, actually, it is.
00:48:30.360 Yeah.
00:48:30.760 It is.
00:48:31.860 That's amazing.
00:48:32.540 Do you remember Dr. Pepper 10, which came out a few years ago?
00:48:37.760 Yeah.
00:48:38.020 It's still out.
00:48:38.560 I mean, you can still have it.
00:48:39.380 And it's a 10-calorie version.
00:48:41.160 It's not quite diet, which is zero calories.
00:48:43.480 And it was supposed to be more for men, right?
00:48:44.920 That was their advertising campaign.
00:48:46.380 And they stopped that immediately.
00:48:47.700 Dr. Pepper 10, it's for men.
00:48:49.440 Yeah.
00:48:49.560 Like, they were like, and they made it, it was all branded, almost like an Old Spice commercial.
00:48:52.860 Like, it was like branded with all masculine, you know, big guys with big muscles and like
00:48:56.340 doing crazy things, lifting cars and all this stuff.
00:48:59.100 And, you know, it was just a funny, jokey campaign.
00:49:01.600 I bet they wouldn't even do that today.
00:49:02.800 No way.
00:49:03.100 I haven't seen an ad like that in a while.
00:49:03.840 No way.
00:49:04.540 I haven't seen it.
00:49:05.760 No way.
00:49:06.360 They don't even talk about Dr. Pepper 10 anymore, do they?
00:49:09.160 I mean, no.
00:49:09.940 I haven't seen the commercial for it in a while.
00:49:11.160 It is still available and pretty delicious, by the way.
00:49:13.400 Is it?
00:49:13.660 I would say.
00:49:14.100 I'm a fan.
00:49:14.500 Okay.
00:49:14.940 I'd be very interested to see what many people have, what equals, because they also
00:49:19.640 say in the story from Kimberly Clark that despite our consumer service registering
00:49:24.220 consistent increase of complaints.
00:49:26.920 Okay.
00:49:27.140 So what is that?
00:49:28.480 Two.
00:49:28.720 Yeah.
00:49:29.180 Two to four.
00:49:29.640 Or is it the same three people that are complaining more than once?
00:49:33.240 Yeah.
00:49:33.500 I mean, that's what it's got to be.
00:49:34.860 A couple of people on Twitter said something.
00:49:37.560 Right.
00:49:37.980 And they freaked out.
00:49:39.240 Right.
00:49:39.720 Yeah.
00:49:40.100 That's like Pam on The Office.
00:49:42.220 And they said, she said, I doubled my sales last month.
00:49:45.320 And someone said, well, from two to four.
00:49:47.460 And she said, yes.
00:49:49.700 It was.
00:49:50.540 It was two to four.
00:49:51.580 So yes.
00:49:53.480 That is kind of what we're talking about.
00:49:55.400 Yeah.
00:49:55.620 These are not real complaints.
00:49:56.760 I mean, again, you can always find someone to say something.
00:50:00.480 Always.
00:50:00.560 I always get frustrated by these news stories that come out and be like, someone on Twitter
00:50:04.800 said that they were upset.
00:50:06.320 And it's just like one person on Twitter.
00:50:08.820 Finding someone to say any example of any word combination in the English language is
00:50:14.940 not an achievement.
00:50:16.240 It's certainly not a news story.
00:50:18.300 So the idea that you can find some people who are going to be pissed off at man size,
00:50:21.780 I'm sure there is somebody, some crazy person.
00:50:24.300 There's probably some organization that has decided this is going to be their thing of
00:50:27.620 the day to make their donors feel good about themselves as if they've achieved something
00:50:31.780 in life.
00:50:32.400 But in reality, this is not a real complaint.
00:50:34.480 People don't care.
00:50:35.800 People don't care.
00:50:36.300 If you like man size, then you take the man size thing.
00:50:38.460 Right?
00:50:38.680 I mean, who cares?
00:50:39.740 And women could buy a man size.
00:50:41.280 Just like if we wanted to, we could buy.
00:50:43.400 They'd probably get looked at funny if they went through the register with the man size.
00:50:48.140 Of course not.
00:50:49.000 There is no downside to this.
00:50:50.660 They'd be female shamed.
00:50:51.720 Yeah.
00:50:52.160 They might be looked at funny.
00:50:52.980 Man shamed.
00:50:54.340 You're not a man.
00:50:55.080 That's not for you, is it?
00:50:55.920 You can't buy that.
00:50:56.740 You can't buy that.
00:50:58.420 Your money's no good here.
00:51:00.440 It's not the way it works.
00:51:01.380 They like your money a lot.
00:51:02.080 Yeah, they do.
00:51:02.520 Yeah, they do.
00:51:03.080 Now, if Jeffy went through another transition and went back, because you were three or four
00:51:09.340 transitions.
00:51:10.020 And so going back to female, let's just say.
00:51:12.820 And you then would be a larger female if you were to transition back.
00:51:20.180 You'd be on the large side of the female scale.
00:51:22.300 That'd be fair.
00:51:24.060 That'd be fair.
00:51:25.800 And you wanted to go buy now man-sized tissues.
00:51:30.480 Would this be offensive to you if you were now identifying as a woman?
00:51:33.520 Very well could be.
00:51:34.360 I mean, I know that, you know.
00:51:36.240 Really?
00:51:36.800 Very well could be, yes.
00:51:37.600 Very well could be.
00:51:38.480 Very well could be.
00:51:39.240 Okay.
00:51:40.500 At one of the transitions when I was a female, and again, I was, you know, larger.
00:51:45.340 Yeah, right.
00:51:46.100 A female.
00:51:46.840 They don't have a fat girl section in the stores.
00:51:52.260 You know, like they have the fat guy section, big and tall or whatever.
00:51:54.820 But in most stores, not all, but most stores, if you're a bigger female, you have to shop
00:52:01.360 in the maternity section.
00:52:04.120 Oh, really?
00:52:04.880 And I don't like that.
00:52:06.040 I think that's old school.
00:52:07.200 I think that's been rectified recently.
00:52:10.640 Oh, is it?
00:52:10.660 Oh, okay.
00:52:11.240 Yeah.
00:52:11.420 That's all, I mean, I think it has.
00:52:13.100 Better because if I go back to female and I have to go to a maternity section.
00:52:15.320 No, I don't think you'll have to.
00:52:16.260 I don't think you'll have to go to the maternity section anymore.
00:52:18.220 I don't think you should challenge Jeffy's unique life experience on this particular topic.
00:52:22.880 That's probably true.
00:52:23.080 That's probably true.
00:52:23.900 All right.
00:52:24.880 We got more coming up here.
00:52:26.280 888-727-BECK.
00:52:28.260 Yep.
00:52:28.520 And it's Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
00:52:30.640 Go on the podcast app and search for it, and it'll be up later today.
00:52:34.940 Absolutely.
00:52:35.640 Appreciate it.
