Transcript
00:00:11.060
Also, the big gun control announcement from Joe Biden yesterday.
00:00:24.180
Every day, the guy stands up and bald-faced lies to the American people.
00:00:32.100
We've got that and lots more to talk about coming up in one minute.
00:00:41.560
If you're a fiscally responsible homeowner, there's no reason right now that you should be paying a higher percentage on your mortgage than you should be.
00:00:53.100
But have you taken the 10 minutes to give American Financing a call and find out if a refinance is the right option for you?
00:01:00.260
Not only are there really low rates, and they're not going to last forever.
00:01:04.280
I don't think they can get any lower than they are.
00:01:07.200
You'll probably, you know, I mean, if you don't do it today, we're just going to keep harassing you all next week.
00:01:12.700
So, I mean, just get it over with so we shut up.
00:01:18.920
You could be saving hundreds, maybe even as much as $1,000 a month in difference as what you're paying now.
00:01:28.500
Why not knock out all of these financial things today?
00:01:39.340
American Financing works for you, not the bank.
00:02:29.320
Which you can see at 8pm Eastern on The Blaze TV.
00:03:14.080
Lots of fun fun common sense gun reform things.
00:03:22.800
These people who talk about the Second Amendment.
00:03:25.680
This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.
00:03:27.680
I love the Second Amendment like my own grandfather.
00:03:38.700
Like it's my great great great great grandfather.
00:03:43.100
It's just that you know there's some common sense things that need to be done.
00:03:47.320
Well and eventually great great grandmothers and fathers pass away.
00:04:01.660
That's essentially what they were saying yesterday.
00:04:05.940
And we mock this often because that's what they use.
00:04:14.100
Because in some ways he actually is proposing common sense gun reforms.
00:04:26.380
And this clip in particular he's doing both of them I think.
00:04:30.920
Because it's not it's not how they mean it common sense.
00:04:37.760
You walk into a store and you buy a gun you have a background check.
00:04:43.640
You can buy whatever you want and no background check.
00:04:58.320
And so you just walked in and they gave it to you and you left.
00:05:03.640
I bet they didn't even care if you paid for it.
00:05:05.740
All they asked is if, look, you don't have to pay for it as long as you promise to murder
00:05:13.640
No, I got a background check, went through the entire process.
00:05:16.740
The overwhelming majority of gun show sales go through this process.
00:05:22.780
Like if I'm selling a gun to Pat, I am not a dealer.
00:05:31.040
So I am not the type of person who has the, the, the resources or how would I get a background
00:05:41.420
If I'm giving it to my son, for example, he's a little too young, but when he grows up and
00:05:47.400
I'm like, I know what, Zach wants a gun and I have this one, he can have it.
00:05:52.140
I'd have to go do a background check on my son.
00:05:54.480
Like there are reasons why there are very, very, very limited amount of gun sales that
00:06:02.060
But yeah, I went to a gun show, but I think the common knowledge, the common sense says
00:06:12.240
You could just walk into a background, you could just walk into a gun show and buy something
00:06:15.880
without a background check, buy whatever you want.
00:06:17.760
But if that was the law, there'd be some sense and, and, and people would be upset about
00:06:27.880
So a common sense gun reform based on a lie is not a common sense gun reform, though.
00:06:35.540
They're trying to say, okay, well, a common sense, I think it's very common.
00:06:40.940
People believe that you can go to a gun show and buy whatever you want.
00:06:54.840
At a gun show, a private, a, like a private gun owner can sell to another person, right?
00:07:01.980
Isn't that what, that can happen at a gun show, I think.
00:07:06.040
And, and that has happened where a private seller sells to somebody who came into the gun show.
00:07:16.960
It's such a small, you know, I was talking to someone at the Heritage Foundation who testified
00:07:23.000
And I asked her, I'm like, is there an argument, and I don't believe this, but again, your job
00:07:27.940
as a host is to ask questions that you think might be interesting.
00:07:30.840
And I said, is there an argument to say, hey, there, this is such a small percentage of sales.
00:07:38.200
It is such, it is not an issue in this country.
00:07:45.060
Do we know of any gun crime that has been committed from a person to person sale without a gun background
00:08:02.460
It's very unlikely that it's certainly not a big, it's not a big factor in our overall
00:08:10.320
And I said, I said to her, I said, Amy Swearer is her name.
00:08:13.420
And I said, Amy, is there an argument to say, maybe the right just gives up on that?
00:08:23.820
Maybe there's a way that we make it easy for a, you know, a background check to go through
00:08:40.320
I want to swear inch to these people on this issue because they will take a mile every
00:08:48.060
You can't move a centimeter on guns because their goal is not a common sense reform.
00:08:55.740
It is another step down the road to eventually have all of them gone.
00:09:05.380
You know, we, we occasionally will hear them telling you that.
00:09:07.560
I will say it would be nice to have that argument completely eliminated, but they'll still
00:09:14.760
They'll still say, they'll still say it's happening and then they'll find the next thing
00:09:23.580
If you're a criminal and you want to go kill someone, there are much easier ways to get
00:09:29.020
There is no reason for you to put it together in a kit.
00:09:39.740
Some shootings have occurred with these types of guns, but again, it's a minor, minor, minor
00:09:46.160
It's much easier to go through a neighborhood and break into somebody's house and look for
00:09:51.460
You're much more likely to find guns doing that than going through the whole process of trying
00:10:13.340
But like we are, this is a society that we are constantly told cannot figure out how to
00:10:19.440
get a driver's license to vote, but they're going to build their own guns?
00:10:31.720
I think they know they can't really do much of anything.
00:10:34.020
If you look at the six things he wants to do, very few of them, some of them are like,
00:10:38.060
we're going to recommend to states that they do things.
00:10:40.740
It's like, okay, that's not even, that's not barely an executive order, right?
00:10:44.980
Some of it really was nonsensical, but they're going after the ghost guns.
00:10:48.540
Probably the biggest thing they're going after are these stabilizing grips as they're associated
00:10:55.880
Yeah, because those have become relatively common.
00:10:58.780
Again, they're not involved in a lot of crimes at all, but they have become relatively common
00:11:08.460
And so that, therefore, you know, I think part of that is because they know there's always
00:11:14.940
So if you have, you get a similar feel from one of these weapons as an AR-15, though it's
00:11:26.060
So you get kind of some of the, you get some of the package of an AR-15 without having
00:11:30.840
And because you know they might be coming to your door to take your AR-15.
00:11:37.300
But they're good weapons and they are very effective, particularly for females, to be
00:11:48.000
You know, I mean, you know, you want to be able to hit the guy running at you and you
00:11:54.040
And that should be something that should be, you'd think the left would care about if they're
00:11:58.820
so feminist and they care so much about these evil men that they tell us are raping people
00:12:05.080
all the time and attacking people all the time.
00:12:09.240
And, you know, when it comes down to it, they don't seem to want to give any protection.
00:12:13.020
They want to defund the police and take away the guns.
00:12:22.080
Nothing I'm about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment.
00:12:27.900
They're phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from what
00:12:34.660
But no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:12:39.240
You can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater.
00:12:44.680
In the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own.
00:12:48.180
In the very beginning, the Second Amendment existed.
00:12:50.540
Certain people weren't allowed to have weapons.
00:12:52.660
So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we're recommending.
00:13:03.540
Would you be arrested if you yelled fire in a crowded theater?
00:13:09.100
Would you be arrested, though, if you yelled wolf?
00:13:11.360
Because the Constitution does not say that a person can yell wolf in a crowded theater.
00:13:18.740
So you can't yell wolf in a crowded theater, but you can yell fire.
00:13:23.740
I think you can yell wolf because particularly when there is a wolf in the theater.
00:13:30.240
Where there's a pack of wolves running through the theater.
00:13:33.480
And thank God Nancy Pelosi was there to yell wolf.
00:13:40.600
By the way, I should point out, as we're telling you that Nancy Pelosi sucks, there's something
00:13:45.080
called a NancyPelosiSucksPen.com that is available for you to tell everyone at work
00:13:54.480
By the way, David Harsanyi addressed the exact issue you're talking about, Pat, about fire in
00:14:01.520
So Biden said, you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech.
00:14:05.800
Harsanyi, who's, by the way, an absolute expert on the Second Amendment, wrote an entire book
00:14:09.560
about the history of guns, and he goes into a bunch of this stuff today.
00:14:14.360
This is probably the weakest and most infuriatingly overused analogy used in effort to restrict
00:14:20.440
The line taken from Oliver Wendell Holmes in the decision Schneck versus the United States
00:14:25.340
and subsequently repeated by thousands of censorship apologists since, was at the heart of one
00:14:30.380
of the most egregious violations of free expression in American history.
00:14:34.120
The Schneck decision allowed the Wilson administration, dun-dun-dun, Woodrow Wilson, to throw anti-war
00:14:41.300
activists in prison for violating the Espionage Act of 1917.
00:14:45.660
It's difficult to think of a more legitimate exercise of political expression than debating
00:14:52.360
In any event, Schneck was basically overturned by the Brandenburg versus Ohio decision.
00:14:56.660
We've heard a lot about that one recently, which found that the First Amendment protects
00:15:00.460
speech unless it is likely to incite, quote, imminent lawless action, which yelling fire
00:15:09.440
Yeah, I don't, I don't recommend it, but you actually can yell fire in a theater.
00:15:16.280
But you cannot yell Wolf under no circumstances.
00:15:29.920
My understanding is you cannot yell any four-legged furry animals on the radio at any point.
00:15:43.340
But if you're in a crowded theater, do not, do not yell, you know, poodle, because that
00:15:58.500
Now, if you could pay to get compliments every single day, would you do it?
00:16:05.040
During Kishamini's spring clearance event, that's exactly what happens.
00:16:07.960
You're going to get the brand new Zotique Deep Correcting Serum, absolutely free, when
00:16:11.660
you order the classic GenuCell for bags and puffiness.
00:16:18.360
You can say goodbye to puffiness, blotchy skin, crow's feet, acne scars, even those pesky sunspots.
00:16:24.500
It's time to open up, get out, and feel great about how you look, and you're going to get
00:16:31.460
Maybe everyone's like, gosh, you know, you were hideously ugly before this.
00:16:38.500
If that's what happens, you can get your money back.
00:16:43.580
Order GenuCell now, and Kishamini will include GenuCell immediate effects for results in minutes.
00:16:49.760
See results guaranteed or 100% of your money back.
00:16:57.380
The sale is, I mean, they always load you up with all the stuff from Kishamini.
00:17:01.940
They're going to give you the classic GenuCell jawline treatment to tighten and tone the
00:17:07.720
All orders today are also upgraded to free priority shipping.
00:17:13.780
It's G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com or call them 800-577-8709 for GenuCell.com.
00:17:31.940
Okay, so the president continued his assault on the Second Amendment, despite the fact
00:17:41.500
that he says it's bizarre to even bring up the Second Amendment as he's trying these gun
00:17:47.220
He called it, he said that this was a national embarrassment, what's going on right now.
00:17:54.340
The gun violence is an epidemic and it's an international embarrassment.
00:18:00.940
You know, we saw it again last night as I was coming to the Oval Office.
00:18:05.740
I got the word that in South Carolina, a physician with his wife, two grandchildren, and a person
00:18:16.820
working at his house was gunned down, all five.
00:18:22.060
So many people, so many of the people sitting here today know that well, unfortunately.
00:18:28.040
You know, they know what it's like when the seconds change your life forever.
00:18:39.400
Pleasure of getting to meet in awful circumstances, many of you, many of you who've lost your children,
00:18:49.600
You know, they know what it's like to bury a piece of their soul deep in the earth.
00:18:56.920
Mark and Jackie, I want to tell you, it's always good to see you, but not under these
00:19:06.060
I want to say before I introduce the rest of the folks.
00:19:10.600
What a lot of people have not been through, what they've been through, don't understand.
00:19:15.380
It takes a lot of courage to come to an event like this.
00:19:24.680
It takes a lot of courage to come to a gun control announcement.
00:19:30.080
At the Rose Garden with a gun control administration.
00:19:35.260
What would take a lot of courage is to come to a Second Amendment rights announcement.
00:19:47.300
This is just an echo chamber on the White House lawn.
00:19:52.860
What would take courage is coming to a celebration of the Second Amendment.
00:19:59.200
Going to this thing where they're trying to limit your gun rights, that doesn't take any
00:20:03.780
It's the prevailing theory of these people, of these elites that are in office.
00:20:11.080
So, I'm courageous to go to a gun control announcement?
00:20:19.340
Again, this is Joe Biden trying to actually speak.
00:20:25.640
I mean, like, I mocked it when he was doing it.
00:20:28.660
But it's like, to say, like, it's always great to see you, but never under these circumstances.
00:20:33.440
It's like, well, wait, then it's not always great to see them.
00:20:41.740
Mark and Jackie, it's not good to see you today.
00:20:55.220
Who's having a real difficult time getting through the most basic functions of his job, which is
00:21:22.520
Like that moment when you open your inbox after you're finally done with your taxes and you
00:21:28.860
But it could go horribly wrong if an identity thief has already filed your taxes with your
00:21:37.720
During tax season, your personal information, your name, your social security number is all
00:21:42.000
there on your tax forms, possibly getting emailed and shared more than usual.
00:21:46.340
That could leave your information exposed to identity thieves.
00:21:51.180
They monitor the use of your personal information, alerts you to possible suspicious activity.
00:21:55.400
And if you become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based specialist will work
00:22:01.300
Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock
00:22:10.860
Use the promo code BECK and save up to 25% off your first year.
00:22:24.320
There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:36.120
We're going to come back to our discussion on guns and Biden's big announcement yesterday.
00:22:42.220
But first, I thought we'd chew the fat with Jeffy.
00:22:50.040
I don't know if you know this or not, but Prince Philip is dead.
00:22:54.300
Since there's wall-to-wall, non-stop coverage on every single network.
00:23:12.560
And it's sad now because the queen is all alone.
00:23:25.980
And Charles has got to be really ticked, right?
00:23:29.520
Because he's not the one that he wanted to die.
00:23:35.840
You see, you're alleging he wants his mother to die.
00:23:45.060
It's such a strange thing to see the coverage of it.
00:23:48.540
I mean, again, this is the United States, by the way.
00:24:06.800
It's like a little kid having a tea party, except they've just elevated it over an entire
00:24:11.080
And it costs the taxpayers billions of dollars a year.
00:24:19.840
There's a lot of bad things that came out of this process.
00:24:23.680
In fact, they finally had to do the Magna Carta to take away some of the power of the
00:24:34.740
And now you keep it going even when it ended 200 years ago?
00:24:40.880
You know, another thing that may or may not be real or pretend is the new Alex Jones video
00:24:59.200
They're just like, this is definitely getting pulled off the air.
00:25:09.900
It appears in this video that he's lost some clients, too.
00:25:22.660
So if you see the video, this is Alex rescuing children.
00:25:33.340
They just busted a guy putting a bunch of kids in the back of a car.
00:26:28.320
How come he doesn't go to the other side of the car and try to stop him and back him up?
00:27:06.400
If somebody rear ends you, those kids are going to get hurt.
00:27:08.620
I mean, Alex, if you aren't watching and you're just listening, I mean, and I know that's
00:27:23.780
You have a podcast that has literally the word fat in it.
00:27:48.040
The people in the car, if they're acting, acted well.
00:27:53.440
I mean, they seem legitimately surprised by what's happening.
00:28:03.280
So if they are illegal aliens, then it's not a 95% chance it's fake, right?
00:28:07.020
I mean, if they, if that's a, what's, what's fake?
00:28:12.640
I think the guy that they, they got into the car, they got him into the car.
00:28:19.560
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like they had these people get into the car.
00:28:23.880
Had the guy get into the car and then they were going to stop him.
00:28:28.040
And Alex, of course, was going to stop that automobile from going forward.
00:28:35.180
Now, of course, Alex Jones is ridiculously over the top with all of this stuff.
00:28:47.460
I love that because, because I'm going to hold this car back.
00:28:52.720
You can put it into gear if you want, but I'm stopping you right in your tracks.
00:28:57.940
He did put it into gear the other direction seemed to work.
00:29:02.720
So they were just like, basically, this camera crew was walking down the street and happened
00:29:10.840
So it's not like they, they're not even saying they were tipped off that this was going to
00:29:17.520
It's been a while since I've been to Alex's website.
00:29:22.020
It looks like it's been a while since Alex has been to his website.
00:29:24.800
So what you're picking up is you believe Alex Jones has gained weight.
00:29:37.700
I mean, the COVID era has been difficult on many of us, I would say.
00:29:40.740
This is the only video he didn't tear off his shirt.
00:29:45.960
And there's a reason he didn't tear off his shirt here.
00:29:59.600
I got carried away on my show and I actually made that statement.
00:30:02.900
And then I apologized to Alex because I was just outrageous.
00:30:11.520
He, I know, I know, but come on to say he's fatter than Jeffy.
00:30:16.220
But Jeffy was sitting in the same room and he's, he's been a long time friend.
00:30:30.040
I'm looking at the two kind of side by side here.
00:30:43.320
Now, obviously, Alex Jones is healthier because of all the supplements, but I don't know.
00:30:50.320
Now, Jeffy, we should point out, is athletically overweight.
00:30:57.580
I don't know if we're going to be able to get to the bottom of this.
00:31:00.220
I expect Alex Jones to come in to this building right now with a megaphone yelling.
00:31:26.000
Wouldn't it be great to get him here and put them both on a scale?
00:31:34.440
I mean, you'd have to go to a truck stop for that.
00:31:38.340
We'd have to bring in the Army Corps of Engineers to get a scale that did something like that.
00:31:42.740
But I was looking at some old photos of the crew the other day.
00:31:46.860
And remember that one three week period where Jeffy was inexplicably thin?
00:31:58.480
Oh, God, we all look totally different at these pictures.
00:32:03.340
I don't know why they even post those pictures anymore, to be honest.
00:32:06.600
But you were actually, you had a good, you know, 30 to 60 minute period where I would
00:32:16.440
You know, it was in top training mode right then.
00:32:19.580
You lost a hundred pounds, if I'm not mistaken.
00:32:26.340
And luckily, though, putting it back on had no negative health effects.
00:32:34.080
It's not like you've spent time in a hospital or anything.
00:32:49.580
He's probably the one who is paying for those kids to be in the back of that thing.
00:32:58.340
Chewing the fat is where you will hear the defense of Jeff Fisher, not only about his potential
00:33:33.900
Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready
00:33:38.880
You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place.
00:33:41.260
And with COVID, well, that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.
00:33:47.100
There are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a
00:33:50.320
timeshare, but most of them don't, because most of them don't have a team of attorneys
00:33:55.180
and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.
00:34:05.940
They're ready to step to the plate and help you.
00:34:14.740
Don't keep putting it off and get stuck with another year's of timeshare that you're not
00:34:19.320
You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare.
00:34:23.360
So make sure you tell them that Glenn Beck sent you.
00:34:29.300
Or visit them online at timeshareterminationteam.com.
00:34:37.100
Did you see in the Tiger Woods crash, he was going 87 miles an hour when he hit the tree?
00:34:45.320
He was going 87 when he ran into something, when he first made contact.
00:34:50.020
And then 75 miles an hour when he hit the tree.
00:34:56.780
They say the forensics showed that he didn't even tap the brake.
00:35:10.500
But I mean, like, it's like, that's the type of thing to go 87 miles an hour without tapping
00:35:13.900
the brakes around in a 45 mile an hour zone, by the way.
00:35:16.360
And especially when he doesn't remember, or at least he says he doesn't, he doesn't remember
00:35:29.140
But if you fall asleep, you'd think you'd come off of the gas, but it's possible, I
00:35:32.220
guess, if you fall a certain way and the gas pedal stays down.
00:35:42.100
And he should never get in an automobile again.
00:35:45.660
I mean, he's got to stop getting inside automobiles.
00:35:51.080
That's how we found out about the whole scandal.
00:35:53.060
Remember, he was like backing down his driveway and like crashed into a tree.
00:35:58.060
Well, I think he crashed into a tree after his wife put a golf club through the back
00:36:05.340
And he's trying to get away from her and then he crashed into the tree.
00:36:08.620
So yeah, he and SUVs don't seem to mix very well.
00:36:22.380
That seems to be the only news of the day today.
00:36:26.380
I do not understand the fascination with the American people.
00:36:30.880
Now, I guess like you'd say, these are elevated celebrities in Great Britain.
00:36:33.920
And if you're in Great Britain, maybe you care.
00:36:36.620
But I don't understand why our media cares so much about this.
00:36:42.600
The only thing I could think of is market forces.
00:36:45.720
You put them, you put, now look, what's her face?
00:37:03.380
It was on USA and had millions of people watching it.
00:37:09.220
Now, she was not an A-list celebrity before this, but she was relatively well known.
00:37:16.100
And, you know, the fact that an American princess, an American actress has become a princess or whatever, you know, however that works.
00:37:27.480
It's a big deal, you know, and you could see why that would make that part of it interesting for the American people.
00:37:34.120
Okay, one of our celebrities is now married into the royal family.
00:37:45.700
...doesn't really even have an impact on the situation.
00:37:54.880
I mean, for the last several hours, that's about all they've talked about.
00:38:04.200
I've never understood it, and it just continues.
00:38:08.920
I really haven't even understood it for the British people.
00:38:11.420
Because, again, you know, it's not like the monarchy was a good thing.
00:38:26.260
I mean, unless Arthur was real, and that's doubtful,
00:38:31.040
they had pretty much a string of bad guys for hundreds of years.
00:38:38.120
So, I don't know why they look back on it so fondly.
00:38:40.920
I don't know why they keep pretending that the monarchy means something to them.
00:38:58.480
It really is a strange thing to continue to celebrate.
00:39:01.660
And, you know, not to mention, it unleashed awful things all across the globe to all sorts of different people.
00:39:09.000
And now it's like, well, yeah, but we like when they're...
00:39:19.700
I spend a few billion dollars remembering it constantly.
00:39:24.360
Let's just continue to make them the richest family in the world.
00:39:57.520
We're going to get back into a Biden's babbling from yesterday with the gun control.
00:40:15.520
So, if you're like most people, you spend a good chunk of your day listening to various forms of media.
00:40:32.000
But how are you going to get this information, this wonderful audio into your ears every day?
00:40:46.820
They don't have the dumb dangling thing that pops down below your ear like Apple.
00:40:56.920
You could fall asleep listening to music or whatever you're listening to to go to bed.
00:41:05.280
I don't know how I existed before my Raycons now.
00:41:09.420
And they come in the handy dandy little charging case.
00:41:28.920
Raycon is offering 15% off all their products right now.
00:42:05.080
Was it we talked about the national embarrassment, right?
00:42:12.740
International embarrassment, we should point out.
00:42:14.420
Coincidentally, exactly what Joe Biden has on his business.
00:42:20.780
If he gives you a business card, it will say Joe Biden international embarrassment.
00:42:41.800
I wanted to make it easier for states to adopt extreme risk protection order laws.
00:42:48.180
They're also called red flag laws, which everybody in this law knows, but many people listening do not know.
00:42:55.140
These laws allow a police or a family member to petition a court in their jurisdiction and say,
00:43:03.460
I want you to temporarily remove from the following people any firearm they may possess.
00:43:12.620
They're presenting a danger to themselves and to others.
00:43:18.000
To put this in perspective, more than half of all suicides, for example, involve the use of a firearm.
00:43:25.400
But when a gun's not available, an attempt at suicide, the death rate drops precipitously.
00:43:34.040
States that have red flag laws have seen and see the reduction in the number of suicides in their states.
00:43:42.020
Every single month, by the way, an average of 53 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner.
00:43:57.440
It's been a constant struggle to keep it moving.
00:44:00.200
We know red flag laws can have significant effect on protecting women from domestic violence.
00:44:05.920
We know red flag laws can stop mass shooters before they can act out their violent plans.
00:44:15.100
Excuse the point of personal privilege we used to say in the Senate.
00:44:17.560
I'm proud that the red flag law on my home state of Delaware was named after my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, our son.
00:44:34.600
And legislation to incentivize states to enact their own red flag laws.
00:44:40.940
I asked the Justice Department to publish a model red flag legislation so states can start crafting their own laws.
00:45:03.640
But, you know, so the red flags, the red flag law, we've gone over this before, but basically this is something that some Republicans are on board with.
00:45:12.760
And in theory, you can see why it would make sense.
00:45:15.160
In practice, it makes, it has lots and lots of problems.
00:45:18.040
People who should not be flagged have their weapons taken away, get them taken away constantly by people who don't like them and falsely accuse them of things.
00:45:27.940
There's very little in the data that shows red flag laws are going to stop mass shootings, are going to stop domestic violence.
00:45:34.880
The only place you really see any potential effect in the data is suicides, that maybe you might be able to figure out that there's some effect, though it's still completely unproven.
00:45:48.020
And you have something, when you're going to take away constitutional rights from someone, you should be pretty sure about it.
00:45:53.680
Mm hmm. And it's understandable how this one kind of goes down the road a little bit.
00:45:59.380
But you'll notice he's not actually really doing anything.
00:46:01.780
He's saying he wants a commission so that they can form the law and other people can pass.
00:46:07.580
Yeah. They're recommending that states do this. Yes.
00:46:10.160
And but he knows a national law. He wants that states to do it.
00:46:13.640
He wants a national law. But he realizes correctly he can't do any of that himself.
00:46:17.780
So this is this is this is him playing to his base a little bit here.
00:46:21.260
Yeah. He realizes what he said in the campaign, which is he was going to do all this stuff on day one.
00:46:28.180
I'm not sure. My my calendar might not be working here, but it seems to be day 70 something.
00:46:38.720
He promised he was going to do these things on day one.
00:46:40.640
He hasn't. He can't do them now because they're blatantly illegal and unconstitutional for him to do them.
00:46:48.620
And now he's in that he's in a corner and he can only do a few of these things.
00:47:05.880
It's one of their favorite things to talk about.
00:47:08.200
And the it's not, of course, not a loophole at all.
00:47:12.220
Just like the gun show loophole is not a loophole at all.
00:47:16.160
But here's Joe talking about the Charleston loophole.
00:47:23.160
Like people here, I spent time down at that church in Charleston.
00:47:26.940
What happened is someone was allowed to get the gun used to kill those innocent people at the church service.
00:47:37.840
If the FBI hasn't didn't complete the background check within three days.
00:47:48.760
If it wasn't done in three days, according to the Charleston loophole, you get to buy the gun.
00:47:56.140
Now, this is among the most disingenuous claims he will make in the entire speech.
00:48:02.000
First of all, there's no the Charleston loophole is not a loophole.
00:48:06.020
It was a specifically it was very specifically designed in the law.
00:48:09.040
The reason it was designed in the law is because if you don't have what they call the Charleston loophole, you could go for a background check.
00:48:17.100
The federal government could say, eh, couldn't quite get to that one.
00:48:24.160
Because if the background check doesn't come back.
00:48:30.540
And this was happening during the Clinton administration.
00:48:32.880
They were delaying these things for very long, inordinate amounts of time because they didn't really want people to buy the guns.
00:48:44.020
So the Charleston law was the Charleston loophole, as they call it, which is not what it's called, but that's their fancy name to call it now, is based on this idea that the Charleston shooter went to get a gun.
00:48:58.420
They didn't do the background check for three days.
00:49:00.620
So he was able to get the gun without the background check.
00:49:03.960
Now, the reporting that's happened since the incident shows that he would not have failed the background check anyway.
00:49:15.480
They want to extend the period for the background check to 10 days and maybe forever.
00:49:21.320
However, what's fascinating about this is in 2013, the Manchin-Toomey amendment, they tried to push that through.
00:49:30.820
If you remember that, that was like the sort of the gang of eight approach to gun control in which some Republicans were on board and some Democrats worked with them, Manchin and Toomey being the headliners.
00:49:41.720
But in that law, what they did was not extend the period for the Charleston loophole, quote unquote, what was to shorten it to only one day.
00:49:54.680
Well, when they put the three days in, it kind of made sense, right?
00:50:00.340
Now I can get a background check on anybody in five minutes on the Internet.
00:50:04.060
There's no reason for it to take one day, let alone three days or 10 days.
00:50:11.100
A background check can be instant at this point and is for most people.
00:50:15.760
Now, most of them just go through within minutes.
00:50:18.600
And of course, obviously, that should be very easy to do at this point.
00:50:28.360
And by the way, almost every single Democrat in the Senate voted for it.
00:50:32.980
Now it's the quote unquote Charleston loophole.
00:50:37.100
It is designed so that the government doesn't get in the way of your constitutional rights by just running out the clock.
00:50:44.320
And it should be shortened to honestly an hour.
00:50:50.860
Maybe someone kicks the Ethernet cable out somewhere in Washington, D.C.
00:50:59.980
What Obama was doing was continually telling people, ah, yeah, the computers are down.
00:51:07.060
That computer system is just, we can't get it to work.
00:51:14.020
And we're running the, we're running Alta Vista here and we just can't.
00:51:25.220
Well, ours is, it's a dial up prodigy account right now.
00:51:34.240
Let me give you another complete and blatant lie.
00:51:37.120
This is Joe Biden telling you, give me a little history lesson about what weapons you could buy back in the day.
00:51:42.280
In the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own.
00:51:46.140
In the very beginning of the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren't allowed to have weapons.
00:51:54.040
You couldn't buy any weapon you wanted and certain people weren't able to buy weapons.
00:52:02.060
He's the author of First Freedom, A Ride Through America's Enduring History with a Gun.
00:52:06.100
And it's a history, it's exactly what it sounds like, a very detailed history of firearms in the United States going back to the founding.
00:52:15.400
He says, I wrote a book on the history of American guns.
00:52:18.600
And never once did I run across any law that restricted Americans from owning any weapons they desired, unless we're talking about blacks or Indians, because most gun restrictions in U.S. history have been employed to unarm the people who need weapons most.
00:52:33.340
So when Joe Biden's like, oh, go back, certain people were limited from buying guns.
00:52:38.400
Yeah, blacks and Indians, that's who was limited from buying guns.
00:52:42.760
Okay, and no weapons were restricted back in the day.
00:52:50.100
He continues, the idea of the federal government conducting any kind of domestic gun policy whatsoever would have been a completely alien concept to anyone before the 1930s.
00:53:01.860
Even then, no specific types of guns were banned from use.
00:53:05.120
It really wasn't until 1986 that the fully automatic guns were effectively banned by the federal government.
00:53:14.840
And that's what he's referring to when he says the 1930s.
00:53:21.760
And that was obviously during the Reagan administration.
00:53:25.180
And something I also believe is entirely unconstitutional.
00:53:32.060
I think that's why most people are okay with it.
00:53:34.180
Because people don't really want people to have fully automatic weapons.
00:53:36.820
Not sure how you can ban that with the Constitution the way it is.
00:53:40.120
A guy in Texas a few years ago was suing on that.
00:53:44.300
And it's been challenged many times in the court.
00:53:50.080
I don't think you can ban automatic weapons under the Constitution.
00:53:53.420
You could amend the Constitution to ban automatic weapons.
00:53:57.720
I mean, it's not impossible that the people, even conservatives, would be like,
00:54:06.840
The bottom line is that this is, yet again, another false statement from Joe Biden yesterday.
00:54:12.740
And he had some other bizarre things that he said.
00:54:24.140
Finally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the key agency enforcing gun laws,
00:54:38.520
Today, I'm proud to nominate David Chipman to serve as the director of the AFT.
00:54:51.880
Actually, it's the American Federation of Teachers, which is probably what he was thinking about
00:54:59.240
But again, and this guy, by the way, is no, he's not going to recognize the Second Amendment
00:55:09.240
Dana Lash mentioned that she expects him to be one of the most activist ATF directors

Hey, Chris, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
00:56:59.840
Now, the whole idea about the ghost culture, the whole idea about the ghost culture, the
00:57:01.840
ghost guns, is, in my opinion, just ridiculous, because I'm sure a lot of the audience that
00:57:06.140
listens to this fine program would know, but for those that don't, it's not as easy as
00:57:10.520
just ordering it and it comes in a box of Legos that says 3+.
00:57:14.540
You have to have a router, the jigs, the bits, all that stuff, or a drill press and an XY axis
00:57:23.500
It's far more expensive to do than just going down the street and buying a gun from Joe or
00:57:30.680
And this is something that hobbyists like to do.
00:57:34.080
It's something that if you're into this sort of thing, it's a fun activity.
00:57:39.360
It's, you know, people have been doing this for a very long time.
00:57:42.520
I mean, it's part of American history of people making their own weapons.
00:57:46.340
But the idea that, like, you know, criminal syndicates are going to be like, let's spend
00:57:57.280
But, like, you know, the ghost gun thing sounds scary, I think, to most people.
00:58:02.000
And that's why they're trying to take advantage of it, I think.
00:58:06.920
I was going to ask him if he's gone, but I was going to ask him if he's built his own
00:58:30.200
Look that up while we go to Dakota in Michigan.
00:58:42.200
First off, I want to say you can't buy a ghost gun because they don't exist.
00:59:06.260
And so the idea is that they're 80% of the way, right?
00:59:12.780
And on some of those, they are still serialized.
00:59:15.280
And depending on your state, you do still have to register them with your state.
00:59:19.320
The funny thing is the only one of the only places they've been used in crimes in large
00:59:23.600
in any large numbers at all is in California, which has laws against ghost guns, quote unquote,
00:59:29.040
that you have to get serial numbers from the state.
00:59:31.860
Shockingly, criminals don't do it all that often.
00:59:38.900
Why would they not do what they're supposed to do?
00:59:45.680
Have you ever actually tried to build one of these things?
00:59:48.860
I have not, but when I was in the industry, I did assist customers with purchasing the
00:59:53.300
parts and everything and getting it taken care of.
00:59:59.340
It's not as easy as the lesson would make you think it is.
01:00:03.800
Like the caller before me said, you do have to have all the equipment.
01:00:06.940
But there's resources out there that'll walk you through the steps, but it's not as easy
01:00:21.160
I'm afraid to buy one because Joe Biden's going to show up at my house, but I still want to
01:00:38.940
Everyone's building like a porch or a patio in the back.
01:00:41.260
They're building like, oh, I'm a carpenter now.
01:00:44.580
I'm going to build a gun, see how it works out.

For just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt.
01:01:01.340
Now, I know Jeffy can't picture something like that, but in theory,
01:01:05.720
In fact, think about what it would be like to, I don't know, have more money to save.
01:01:10.920
Think about hundreds, maybe even $1,000 a month in your pocket.
01:01:14.460
When you refinance your mortgage with American Financing,
01:01:17.040
that's exactly the type of thing you could be facing.
01:01:21.040
Well, 2020 was a rough year for a lot of people.
01:01:26.240
It's a good time to make sure you're in as good a shape as possible financially.
01:01:30.300
So why not consolidate that debt and get it down to something manageable?
01:01:34.360
Again, American Financing is who you need to call.
01:01:36.720
Whether you're looking to purchase a home for the first time
01:01:38.960
or wanting to refinance your mortgage, American Financing is the way to go.
01:01:44.520
You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month,
01:01:46.660
and that won't happen, though, of course, until you start the process up.
01:01:50.580
I have a mortgage with American Financing in the twos.
01:01:56.020
American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.
01:02:25.960
You can actually hear it live immediately preceding this program
01:03:02.020
the ghost guns, because that's one of the things,
01:03:10.080
So many people are manufacturing their own guns at home
01:03:19.360
okay, well, how much does it cost and what goes into it?
01:03:26.200
First of all, you have to have the right kind of equipment
01:03:40.020
it's possible to buy an AR-15 ghost gun build kit
01:03:51.720
So I'll bet you that you can double that at least.
01:03:57.040
Of course, whatever they're saying is not true.
01:03:59.120
That is the starting point with this particular group.
01:04:03.720
Kits for making a Glock-type pistol kit with a frame
01:04:10.440
So are you telling me that you can't build a Glock
01:04:37.140
I would make the same argument, essentially, about beer.
01:05:49.040
Yeah, it's going to be less than a couple grand.
01:05:59.140
And I bought it at the height of the Sandy Hook thing
01:06:03.140
when they were talking gun control and all of that.
01:06:07.180
and I went and bought and paid way too much for it.
01:06:18.420
and you're going to go through this process to do it?
01:06:33.500
They don't want to go through the legal parts of it.
01:07:00.140
If your experience with guns is little to none,
01:07:02.520
assembling your own can be dangerous or even deadly.
01:07:22.820
Like maybe one of those things that come in the Ikea boxes.
01:07:32.560
There's more than one way to go about building a DIY gun and achieving the best results.
01:07:38.840
Basic knowledge of common tools is a requirement to do this correctly.
01:07:42.020
Here are some of the tools you may need to complete your ghost gun.
01:07:47.800
Now, I can't tell you how many gangs have huge collections of metal files.
01:07:54.920
But coarse and fine grit sanding paper, quality firearm lubricant, a nylon hammer, since using
01:08:02.860
a metal hammer may damage the frame, a drill press and vice.
01:08:13.880
And my guess is just buying the things you'd need to build the gun is going to put it
01:08:17.460
way over the cost of purchasing a final assembly.
01:08:28.700
I don't know if I have a regular hammer, let alone a nylon hammer.
01:08:39.620
If something needs to be hammered at my house, I'm calling somebody.
01:08:47.900
I mean, I really legitimately think of myself as pathetic with these things, but I do have
01:08:57.080
What I do have, though, you're right, is a phone.
01:08:59.840
And someone who we know who will do the things for us.
01:09:03.260
And I know that specialization, there's nothing to fight.
01:09:07.960
We come in here and read off of ghost gun websites, perhaps better than like one tenth of a percent
01:09:22.240
That's why I leave it to somebody who specializes in hammering things.
01:09:33.360
Because people don't know this, Pat, if you're not an expert.
01:09:36.200
But when the hammer has to go up and down like multiple times to get a nail in.
01:09:45.340
I mean, and by the way, I should point out, when you're retracting the hammer up, it's
01:09:50.540
coming toward your body and there's a claw on the backside.
01:10:07.560
My wife is way better at fixing things than I am.
01:10:13.940
Look, we don't have a skill set that would be like, quote unquote, useful in society.
01:10:30.140
They say, hey, I don't find you, quote, useful in society.
01:10:39.180
You also need a rotary tool with a sanding drum, which I.
01:10:49.740
Then you need a power drill, which I actually do have one of those.
01:11:10.580
We should point out that does not finish the job to build a ghost gun.
01:11:17.600
The correct template allows both sections of the gun to line up exactly where they need to.
01:11:22.440
And as everyone who's ever built a piece of furniture knows, it never does.
01:11:35.300
Which is why people say I'm not useful in society.
01:11:39.000
Because for other people, they seem to line up.
01:11:42.440
Now, do they say you're, quote, not useful in society?
01:11:48.860
You will need to choose the frame that you want to customize as the base of your ghost
01:11:52.800
You'll find a diverse selection of products on this website.
01:12:00.860
So, basically, they're saying they give it to you 80% done.
01:12:04.340
Now, for a while, the federal government was saying, if you can put it together within
01:12:09.700
a certain amount of time, we're counting it as a gun.
01:12:20.640
I can't remember the exact terminology of the way they measure it.
01:12:24.560
But now, they think you can theoretically put these together in 45 minutes, which is...
01:12:41.780
I have an older car that I bought because I always wanted one from when I was a kid.
01:12:46.620
You know, it's a relatively very cheap car that barely runs.
01:12:55.180
And when I bought it, the guy said, so are you handy with cars?
01:13:01.180
Because he kind of got the sense for some reason I wasn't when I was like, you know,
01:13:08.680
You know, the one that makes it go back and forth on the road?
01:13:17.420
So, he kind of got the sense I didn't know what I was doing.
01:13:20.740
And he asked, to his credit, I was going to purchase the car anyway.
01:13:25.700
And he said, just so you know, like, if you don't know how to fix these things or you
01:13:40.640
Like, the car can sit outside where the car lives and I'll sit inside.
01:13:44.980
And then when I want it to run, I want to turn the key and I want it to start.
01:13:53.880
I don't want to learn about all the things under the hood.
01:13:59.540
I just want the car to go forward and backward when I tell it to.
01:14:09.000
He basically tried to talk me out of buying it.
01:14:12.720
And so now I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars to get it fixed by people who know
01:14:31.100
You'll learn all the internal components of the gun.
01:14:33.700
You're going to learn exactly how the thing works.
01:14:36.260
Building a gun could be something that could be really rewarding for someone who likes doing
01:14:41.880
If you're into that kind of hobby, and that's usually what it would be, I'm sure.
01:14:45.900
Most of this are people who just want to do it.
01:14:48.140
They're not trying to hide it from the government per se.
01:14:50.600
You know, I think there are definitely people who don't like the infringements on the Second
01:14:56.620
Amendment that have occurred and buy these things out of principle.
01:14:59.460
But they don't have any nefarious purpose involved.
01:15:03.340
Now, of course, there have been some cases where these things have happened and been used
01:15:07.100
Just like there have been Toyotas that have been used in crimes.
01:15:27.680
All 50 states and each and every territory as well.
01:15:31.600
But when I've seen terrorists, for example, run over people at a street fair.
01:15:40.100
But why then did they run over the people at the street fair?
01:15:51.880
Just like we know when they're running the people over.
01:15:53.620
If we took the cars away from these people, well then, you know, they wouldn't run over
01:15:59.100
Or what if we just limited their speed in some way?
01:16:01.580
If we just had like a high-end number, that would be the maximum speed you could.
01:16:05.720
Or make them wait a whole bunch of days before they could actually take delivery on the car.
01:16:14.700
This is all, I think it's very much one of these things where Biden is playing to the
01:16:22.400
average person who does not own a gun, who finds guns to be scary and foreign, and
01:16:30.180
believes that people will hear things like Ghost Gun and Charleston loophole and gun show
01:16:37.120
loophole and just basically assume they're true because they're being echoed by the media
01:16:42.560
and they will all say, well, of course there shouldn't be a loophole so crazy people can
01:16:51.140
There is nowhere, anywhere in any of the code is there an exemption for anything at a gun show.
01:17:04.000
If you are minding your own business, looking up at the mating habits of migratory birds
01:17:08.020
in your spare time, as one does, maybe looking to see, is there a ghost gun website I can
01:17:14.980
A cyber criminal hacks into your computer and is now accessing your personal information.
01:17:20.100
The worst part, you don't even know it yet, but you will soon.
01:17:23.140
It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
01:17:26.820
Your identity is what makes you you, and it's what gives you credibility in the world.
01:17:34.860
But cyber criminals are here to try to take it anyway.
01:17:37.620

A lot of interest on the scary ghost gun situation.
01:18:35.520
I've talked to some people who've actually tried to build one.
01:18:41.160
And until recently, I'd never even heard that these existed.
01:18:45.280
This is why it's an effective attack from Biden, or they think it's going to be effective.
01:18:52.480
It sounds like, oh my gosh, this is really dangerous.
01:18:57.260
It's a semantic scheme to try to overturn your freaking constitutional rights.
01:19:11.200
Glenn should be back Monday morning, bright and early.
01:19:14.600
Meantime, Pat and Stu, we've got to finish up our discussion and get to some of your calls
01:19:21.500
on the gun control babblings of Joe Biden and much more.
01:19:26.800
He also said something very fascinating about the future of air travel.
01:19:38.020
So, you know what we all love more than anything else in the world?
01:19:43.240
When you put your house on the market and you're trying to sell it and then you get
01:19:55.840
I was just talking to somebody who put their house on the market and they got 14 bids in
01:20:02.180
They wound up selling it for like $30,000 above the asking price.
01:20:09.620
If you have a real estate agent that can help you make these things happen, obviously the
01:20:15.840
But a real real estate, a good real estate agent can really make a big difference.
01:20:19.800
Even when it comes to staging and how to fix things up at your house, what do you need
01:20:23.520
and what work should you do on the house that's actually going to help and what is a waste
01:20:29.240
A real estate agent can be a partner in this whole situation.
01:20:35.180
It's not just someone who's filling out paperwork for you.
01:20:37.760
It's someone who can actually help you get the best price for your house, whether you're
01:20:43.200

01:21:07.580
We're finishing up our discussion on Biden and his gun control legislation, or not even
01:21:15.800
legislation, it's these executive orders that he's putting forward, and just some suggestions
01:21:23.180
to states on doing other things like the red flag laws.
01:21:26.640
You can't do an executive order on that, so he's recommending to states that they take
01:21:33.020
So, you found something else interesting in his discussion yesterday?
01:21:38.280
There's been this thing that changed a few years ago, I guess, where if there was like
01:21:44.260
a mass shooting, everyone would say, oh, geez, thoughts and prayers are with the victims.
01:21:49.860
It was a standard thing to say, and it was something that is like just a general, there's people
01:21:56.400
going through tough times, and maybe we shouldn't be talking about politics right now, but even
01:22:00.260
even more fundamentally than that, I feel bad that this happened to these people.
01:22:05.140
Whether you agree or disagree with new laws to try to correct it, it makes no difference.
01:22:11.860
Just saying, hey, I'm thinking about you, I'm praying for you, are two really basic human
01:22:18.540
It's particularly important for people who have faith to say, I'm praying for you.
01:22:25.460
So, it's, you know, again, if you're a person of faith, it's like the most important thing
01:22:30.340
It's not some flippant thoughts, you know, okay, my thoughts are with you.
01:22:34.640
It's a nice thing to say as a human being to another, but a prayer is something you think
01:22:39.240
is really important if you're a person of faith.
01:22:41.400
It's basically like the most important thing you can do.
01:22:43.840
So, oddly, a few years ago, it used to be something that all Democrats would say, you
01:22:50.780
know, oh gosh, you know, our thoughts or prayers are with the victims here, but we need to do
01:22:59.060
They acted as if they cared about people who believed in God.
01:23:03.240
Whether they do or not, I don't know, but they acted as if they cared about people who
01:23:09.120
A few years ago, that changed, and it started, people started saying, you know what?
01:23:12.160
I'm sick of hearing about thoughts and prayers.
01:23:19.340
And we got into this thing where, at first, it was just people on Twitter or crazy, like
01:23:23.460
left-wing writers that would say, oh, thoughts and prayers are not enough.
01:23:26.220
And then it crossed over into politicians, where politicians would say it.
01:23:32.120
They'd say, like, you know, thoughts and prayers are just not enough here.
01:23:36.420
Now, it's very revealing, Pat, to me, that a person who claims to be of faith would say
01:23:48.680
Actually, if you're a person of faith, praying is doing something.
01:23:59.480
But, like, if you're talking about a person of faith, which all of these Democrats say
01:24:05.840
She sounds like a preacher half the time when she's talking about laws.
01:24:15.580
Joe Biden took that to a whole new level during the speech.
01:24:21.960
I don't know that I've ever heard a politician ask for this before.
01:24:27.380
Whether Congress acts or not, I'm going to use all the resources at my disposal as president
01:24:32.160
to keep the American people safe from gun violence.
01:24:34.880
But there's much more that Congress can do to help that effort.
01:24:43.620
They've offered plenty of thoughts and prayers, members of Congress.
01:24:47.540
But they passed not a single new federal law to reduce gun violence.
01:25:01.080
This is not thoughts and prayers are not enough.
01:25:03.340
This is please discontinue the activity of praying.
01:25:10.440
This is from the big time Catholic that it means so much to him.
01:25:18.160
It means some of the things mean so much to him.
01:25:26.180
I mean, who knows what they really meant by that?
01:25:30.700
Maybe they don't want all the babies to be alive.
01:25:44.460
And then he essentially tells you to stop praying?
01:25:50.640
You know, blubbering through another line, which is not impossible.
01:25:54.840
But this, it's surprising how dismissive these people are over faith now.
01:26:08.720
And it's because, of course, this is what they have thought the entire time.
01:26:12.360
But we're usually used to be smart enough not to say it.
01:26:21.020
All the only thing that is doing something is government.
01:26:28.740
But if it's you praying your prayers, that's nothing.
01:26:41.360
And it used to be that they wouldn't dare say something like that.
01:26:54.600
You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
01:27:01.480
My son had the great idea that it would be fun for us to do this together.
01:27:08.940
I spent about a hundred bucks buying the tool that we needed.
01:27:12.140
I bought them used because I knew I'd never use them again.
01:27:15.500
And we spent about a week watching videos together, figuring it all out.
01:27:25.880
It didn't turn out well or it just took too long?
01:27:30.280
I completely ruined the lower half that we bought.
01:27:36.320
Then the jig that we were using, which was supposed to be the best jig on the market,
01:27:43.920
So now I still have the second lower in the original packaging in my safe.
01:27:51.000
But this is what all drug dealers are doing right now.
01:27:56.040
Let's just get the jig and we'll get that all set up.
01:28:00.340
This is not a core part of this, of the problem of gun violence in this country.
01:28:13.280
Justin, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.
01:28:18.960
Anyway, we're trying to outlaw an inanimate object.
01:28:24.140
Does it not take a human being to operate that?
01:28:27.840
And if that's the case, that the inanimate objects are killing people, why not outlaw them all?
01:28:41.740
This is the same thing when he was talking about suing gun manufacturers.
01:28:53.400
And it's limited because if you screw up with their device, like you do something stupid with a gun and misuse it, then they can't be held liable for that.
01:29:07.160
You know, if you were to buy a car, a Toyota, you should not be able to sue Toyota because you decided to run somebody over.
01:29:18.280
It's not a crime until you actually commit the crime.
01:29:22.520
The reason why Joe Biden wants it so badly is because he knows he can sue these people out of existence.
01:29:28.560
You can just file a million frivolous lawsuits and most of these companies will have to shut down.
01:29:35.260
Brian in North Carolina, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.
01:29:43.900
The Second Amendment was designed so that we could maintain a militia, not go bird hunting, although I like the idea of bird hunting.
01:29:52.800
It's just as we have progressed in ways of needing to defend ourselves because those around us who would seek to hurt us have greater ways to hurt us.
01:30:04.840
We should have greater ways of defending ourselves.
01:30:07.480
We don't need a 22 short to defend our homes anymore.
01:30:15.840
But you said something a few minutes ago that made a lot of sense to me.
01:30:18.640
You said that this is more than just for defense, and that's the truth.
01:30:22.500
The people that are buying these ARs are buying them, yes, for defense, but a lot of them are buying them because it's an art or a skill or a hobby.
01:30:29.980
Some of them are doing it as a form of an investment for retirement because money is about worthless anymore, and so they stockpile guns not to use them but to have them in storage for their future.
01:30:43.740
And if we outlaw every gun in the world, I mean, even Blue Bloods is now even using knives for their murders.
01:30:52.280
People are going to find a way to kill somebody even if they don't have a gun.
01:30:56.500
Yeah, no, it's very true, and Brian, thanks for the call.
01:31:00.620
Most of the people buying these things are people like the callers we're talking to who are average people who might want to try to do this.
01:31:15.140
The American people have always praised that instinct.
01:31:19.740
I have a friend who loves playing poker and is building his own poker table.
01:31:24.940
He can go to Amazon and get a freaking poker table delivered in the next day.
01:31:28.260
But he's building his own because he wants to do it.
01:31:35.180
And, of course, it's not going to work even if you do.
01:31:37.520
So, the Australian law is the thing that I always loved going back to because they bought back about 20% of the guns in the country.
01:31:46.500
And it was supposed to really help gun violence.
01:31:49.740
All the studies afterwards showed that had no effect on gun violence.
01:31:52.100
But if you were to do that here, you'd have to buy, like, 100 million guns, first of all.
01:31:58.880
Just the cost of that, buying back 100 million guns.
01:32:06.700
Gun owners are not going to, you know, maybe you could get 20% of them back, maybe.
01:32:12.040
But, I mean, there's some people who probably wouldn't care.
01:32:23.820
The people who are going to commit crimes with them are not going to give them back to you.
01:32:27.860
And the other people, there's still going to be plenty of guns out there to commit crimes with.
01:32:32.020
So, you're going to disarm the law-abiding citizens.
01:32:36.700
Not only unconstitutional, but it is also completely ridiculous.
01:32:45.320
NOAA, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.
01:33:00.540
Why did you pick up this call and not the other phone that was ringing?
01:33:04.480
Well, the other one's my business phone ringing.
01:33:06.840
I think it's more important to talk to you guys.
01:33:17.460
So I've built quite a few of these things, not for anybody else, but only for myself.
01:33:27.400
You never do it perfectly unless you have a CNC machine.
01:33:31.000
The CNC machines that they make for these things run about $3,000.
01:33:39.820
And even then, half the time, you don't do it perfect.
01:33:43.580
I got to admit, I mean, these are precise instruments.
01:33:46.620
This is not like, you know, it's going to be very difficult to do on your own.
01:33:58.480
And so, building my own guns is kind of a hobby of mine.
01:34:01.440
And it gives me a sense of pride, especially whenever I'm out shooting them or harvesting
01:34:13.520
This is a great point, because, like, the guy owns a gun store.
01:34:18.760
But he's building them himself, because, you know, it is.
01:34:34.500

We're going to get back to your phone calls at 888-727-BECK with Pat and Stu for Glenn in
01:35:51.040
First, I got to share the Biden segment from yesterday where he's talking about air travel
01:36:05.740
When we do invest in research, what we're really doing is raising the bar on what we can
01:36:15.320
Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast without a single tank
01:36:23.960
As fast as you can go across the country in a plane.
01:36:26.700
Imagine your children growing up to work in innovation, good-paying jobs in fields that
01:36:37.720
I tell the kids, the young people who work for me, I tell my kids, when I go on college
01:36:43.260
campuses, they're going to see more change in the next 10 years than we've seen in the
01:37:03.760
If we decided to do it, traverse the world in about an hour.
01:37:18.920
If you're going to go 21,000 miles an hour, yeah, I hope that you have a special sort
01:37:27.300
of suit because the forces of nature are going to tear the plane apart and you're going to
01:37:33.700
be falling from whatever height the plane ascended to.
01:37:44.960
The fastest plane in the world right now is the Blackbird spy plane, which goes 2,100 miles an hour.
01:37:55.760
He meant because he says you can traverse the world in one hour.
01:37:59.360
So 21, he's talking about going 21,000 miles in one hour.
01:38:12.380
Now, Elon Musk has talked about, we do have this thing, there was a test.
01:38:18.420
Were you going to space and then come back down?
01:38:23.200
And they're talking about how it's possible you could get up to these ridiculously high
01:38:27.720
You know how fast the hypersonic missile goes, though?
01:38:31.980
And I think their top speed is like 7,000 miles an hour.
01:38:35.840
So you're talking about 3,000, no, three times the speed of the fastest missile that we have now.
01:38:44.280
If we have something that's going 7,000 miles, it's not impossible.
01:38:48.240
We could get something that goes 21,000 miles in the future.
01:38:50.440
My big problem with it is what a waste of a flight.
01:38:53.820
If you're going around the whole earth, you're just landing in the same place you took off an hour later.
01:39:03.360
It's like if you just took off for a flight right now and you flew around your city in a circle for an hour and then landed, that's all it would be.
01:39:09.600
I just wanted to see how long it would take to circumnavigate the world.
01:39:25.180
And to make it commercially available to people is even further.
01:39:31.400
It's funny because we seem to be the ones always called anti-science.
01:39:35.800
I think innovation is a huge part of our future.
01:39:38.500
It's why I don't worry all that much about global warming, frankly.
01:39:45.100
If they would allow the technologies we already have, like nuclear, to advance, we would have a lot less worry about these sorts of things.
01:39:54.580
But that's apparently not the road we're going on.
01:40:23.940
And wherever you are, it's starting to get a little bit warmer.
01:40:27.440
And in spring and summer, you've got lots of grilling days ahead.
01:40:30.180
It really doesn't matter whether it's cold weather, whether it's warm weather, whether it's rain or shine.
01:40:35.740
If you have a Rectech, you have Rectech's smart grill technology.
01:40:41.140

01:40:50.540

Whether you're smoking, grilling, or even baking, Rectech delivers perfection every single time.

01:41:22.600

Listen to all your favorite conservative voices at BlazeTV.com.
01:41:45.640
Oh, by the way, I got a little appearance at a cookie place tomorrow.
01:41:59.340
How many, if I keep putting disguises on, will I keep continually getting more and more free cookies?
01:42:11.040
Jeffy's going to be there, so there might not be any cookies by the time you get there.
01:42:32.920
We've been talking about the situation with Joe Biden yesterday and the gun legislation.
01:42:41.380
It's a couple of executive orders and then some suggestions in the form of executive orders.
01:42:48.580
Like, here's a commission that we're going to tell you what a good law would look like
01:42:58.460
He is trying to do real things against the Second Amendment.
01:43:01.600
But, yeah, and I think one of the steps is going to be, soon it will be trying to ban
01:43:06.880
the AR-15s or anything that they refer to as assault rifles.
01:43:16.280
And, I mean, Beto said, hell yes, we're going to do that.
01:43:22.540
But right now, they're taking on the ghost guns.
01:43:25.500
And so, not being all that familiar with ghost guns, we've been hearing from some people.
01:43:30.320
It's really interesting who have actually tried or have made ghost guns and what's involved
01:43:40.720
And it costs, I mean, it costs more probably by the time you get done with it than going
01:43:49.580
So, I don't know what the advantage is unless you're just looking for a gun without a serial
01:43:57.520
Right, but most of the people buying them are not doing it, per se, for those reasons.
01:44:01.540
Some might be because they just don't feel like it's constitutionally justified to force
01:44:08.880
And then a really tiny percentage that's looking to do something illegal with them.
01:44:14.180
I don't know how many times that's happened, but I guess it's happened.
01:44:25.400
First, let me say to Joe Biden, my thoughts and prayers are with Glenn and his family.
01:44:38.980
He decided that he was going to make these guns so that he could put them on the wall.
01:44:42.820
Because when people came to the house, they would say, well, what do you do for a living?
01:44:46.420
He made tools and dyes for places like Lockheed Martin, so he didn't really have anything
01:44:51.940
I think what Biden is doing is actually very dangerous.
01:44:55.520
If people walked away from yesterday's conversation, not hearing ghost guns are dangerous, but
01:45:01.220
hearing, hey, you could buy a kit and in 30 minutes off the internet, you could have
01:45:06.480
The first time they go to do that, they have a better chance of killing themselves than
01:45:11.200
And honestly, that's kind of what I took out of it yesterday.
01:45:16.320
I was like, man, that would be kind of cool to try to build one of those things.
01:45:22.600
Because I know I'm an idiot and I would probably kill myself, I will not be doing that.
01:45:28.520
But that is actually what was kind of my thought process.
01:45:34.720
I guarantee every one of these places, and the sites I've gone to today back this up,
01:45:40.460
They're all sold out because everyone's going to buy them now because he's now going after
01:45:44.040
There's no better commercial for the gun industry than the Democratic Party.
01:45:48.300
Like, the greatest gun salesman alive on the planet was Barack Obama.
01:45:55.160
Joe in Texas, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:45:59.880
I built my own from the parts, but I still had to go through a background check, and it
01:46:05.620
did end up costing me, in the end, about $1,000 to build it, and I can go buy one for about
01:46:16.020
But part of the hobby and what I was building was I was building a gun specifically for
01:46:22.680
And because most ARs come in a .223 caliber, that's not sufficient for hunting deer or hogs
01:46:31.020
And that's where a lot of the hobbyists are going to build a caliber that is uncommon
01:46:35.440
for a specific use and generally for a hunting use or a hobby use.
01:46:39.980
It's, you know, building it more accurately than what a stock gun is and all.
01:46:44.440
But it is by far, I mean, you can buy a kit, you still have to go through a background check,
01:46:49.720
and in the end, it's going to cost you about $1,000 to build the whole thing.
01:46:54.240
And the whole point was really that I could build something that you can't really just
01:47:00.920
So you did have to go through a background check to get the kit?
01:47:05.460
Well, the kit and generally the kit, the lower, it's still sterilized.
01:47:12.400
So you still have to do a background check to buy that sterilized lower, and that is
01:47:21.020
But whenever you still have to buy a trigger and you still have to buy all the parts to
01:47:24.980
put the lower together, and then you still have to buy the upper.
01:47:27.720
When you put it all together, you know, yeah, maybe I saved a little bit, but in the end,
01:47:32.240
I really spent more than just going to the store and buying the gun.
01:47:36.060
I can go to most gun stores and buy an AR for about $800.
01:47:46.440
Yes, it's very accurate, but it was built specifically for hunting hogs because you need a larger caliber
01:47:53.820
because a .223, a hog would still advance on you and, you know, it takes a lot to knock
01:48:06.460
And a .223 is actually a less than lethal round.
01:48:11.060
Adopted by the military because it was less than lethal.
01:48:14.820
It was harder for the enemy to take care of wounded people than it is to take care of people
01:48:26.140
One of the interesting things from the Biden press conference yesterday, and it's something
01:48:40.140
Like he was throwing out numbers yesterday in the 75% range.
01:48:44.200
You know, 400 people get shot and 100 people die.
01:48:47.200
But the number overall, I believe, is close to 90% of people who get shot do not die.
01:48:54.080
And you see that every weekend in Chicago where 114 were shot and 12 were killed.
01:49:01.900
A lot of times you'll hear the biggest numbers.
01:49:03.460
You're thinking, oh my gosh, that many people died.
01:49:06.900
And they largely do survive, which is actually pretty interesting.
01:49:12.460
You know, you don't think about that stuff because, you know, you're watching the movies
01:49:16.520
and, you know, everyone who gets shot pretty much dies, except for the good guy.
01:49:23.360
Good guys can get shot like 30 times and somehow they'll pull through.
01:49:27.060
And that's, if you're in a gang right now and you get, that's how you know you're in
01:49:30.000
the good gang is because if you get shot and you survive, that's how the rule works.
01:49:36.000
Ray in South Carolina, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:49:40.460
Look here, these so-called ghost guns, it is more than going to the hardware store and
01:49:46.280
buying a box of drill bits and a package of files.
01:49:49.420
I mean, you've got to have machinist knowledge and machinist capabilities in order to build
01:49:56.680
And I think what they're doing more likely is going after the parts to build these things
01:50:01.400
because if you think about it, when you buy that block and you finish it out, you still
01:50:07.160
have to have the parts to go inside to finish it.
01:50:09.400
Well, those same parts that goes inside that gun to finish it is also what you need to
01:50:14.560
maintain your weapons because those parts do wear out.
01:50:19.060
So there's, and then that's, what's going to happen.
01:50:20.820
If they ban quote unquote ghost guns, they, people will just go by the individual parts,
01:50:26.060
which, you know, it would be almost impossible to ban.
01:50:30.960
They can, they can make this more difficult, right?
01:50:33.500
But they can't do it constitutionally, but they can make it more difficult and we'll be
01:50:39.560
able to get away with it for at least a while until the courts overturn it.
01:50:42.520
That, that, that, that being said, you know, people who want to buy these to do this, they
01:50:48.240
And people, they, what they want to do is give you this impression that there's like
01:50:52.760
a bunch of incels who are sitting in their basements with their computers and watching
01:50:57.320
YouTube videos and putting these things together in five minutes and then go and killing all
01:51:00.720
In reality, that's just not who's, first of all, it's not who's doing the killing in
01:51:06.280
Yes, there are events where one person will kill 10 people and that's really, really tragic,
01:51:10.740
though the overwhelming majority of these murders are happening with gangs and, and
01:51:20.080
It's not like, these are just high, they're splashy events that make the news because a lot
01:51:25.280
of times they happen in, you know, suburbs and, and areas they're not normally used to
01:51:30.540
crime, but like, if you want to stop gun violence in this country, this is, this does
01:51:38.040
Gangs are not doing, they don't have machinist knowledge.
01:51:41.680
They're not going around and they're not doing these things this way.
01:51:54.800
There, there were so far this year, 759 shootings in Chicago, 700 and, and like we said, you
01:52:05.900
know, uh, a much lower number have died, but 759 people have been shot already.
01:52:12.740
And honestly, like if you had to guess what would be the number of ghost guns used in
01:52:16.240
those, you know, if I had to guess 10, zero, zero, 15, probably guess none.
01:52:25.660
It's just, it's just a ridiculous, another ridiculous thing to scare people into giving
01:52:46.620
I used to work on my cars years ago and I loved it, but I won't touch them now.
01:52:54.400
However, years ago, I built a 50 caliber Hawkins Thompson muzzle loader and it was fun.
01:53:03.120
So I guess when we want to keep our guns, we'll have to go back to muzzle loaders.
01:53:12.080
Jeff, welcome to the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
01:53:16.240
Hey, uh, just real quick, like three callers ago, the guy was saying he needed to get a
01:53:20.920
There's different kinds of lower receivers that you can buy.
01:53:27.480
Those are already milled out with the holes in them for all the stuff.
01:53:31.280
So you do have to, that's considered a firearm.
01:53:44.720
A lot, a lot of the people I know that have those things and I was going to buy a kit
01:53:48.080
except for Biden got in office and he got Buttigieg, but they don't want to be legislated out
01:53:55.320
of owning a gun, whether it's an AR or some automatic pistol or shotgun or rifle and, you
01:54:01.780
know, and not have anything to protect their families.
01:54:04.000
If they ever do come to a gun grab, um, can you watch riots in the streets and all those
01:54:09.960
So the reason they're doing it is I don't want it on the books.
01:54:13.340
What they're doing is unconstitutional and I don't want to be left without anything to
01:54:18.700
Yeah, this is, this is, yeah, that's a great point.
01:54:21.720
It's someone who's saying, look, I don't trust what you're going to do in the future.
01:54:28.220
Triple eight, seven 27 back is the, uh, number back with more in a second.
01:54:34.600
Mowing the grass used to be just another one of those chores you weren't looking forward
01:54:38.040
to at the end of the day or on the weekend, but thankfully it doesn't have to be that
01:54:41.780
When you sit down on a Hustler turf, zero turn lawnmower, you're about to take a ride
01:54:48.040
It's going to get the job done in about half the time because Hustler only makes serious
01:54:53.960
Hustler has been making the zero turn mower for professional lawn maintenance outfits for
01:54:57.860
literally decades now, but now, uh, it brings that technology to you and your yard with
01:55:04.100
You get speed, comfort, and an unbelievable level of maneuverability all rolled up into
01:55:09.700
You get an industrial grade quality product in a mower that will fit between the posts
01:55:17.680
Uh, when you AB compare a Hustler to the competition, you'll know there's no competition
01:55:22.520
Before you buy some other mower, do me a favor, find a Hustler dealer and go to just go test
01:55:41.340
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:55:50.380
We've been talking about the, uh, the gun situation with Joe Biden, who pretty much vowed to ban
01:55:57.320
assault weapons during his campaign, he didn't pretty much, he did vow to ban assault weapons.
01:56:03.320
And of course there was the, the Beto, uh, declaration that hell yes, we're going to, we're
01:56:13.340
Is what the response from most, uh, American citizens will be.
01:56:17.000
And, and of course, a lot of us lost our AR-15s in boating accidents.
01:56:23.100
I, I, a lot of people, I guess, go boating with an AR-15.
01:56:26.300
I talked to, uh, was it Sarah Gonzalez on the News and Why It Matters yesterday who said
01:56:41.000
I, you shouldn't bring them on rollercoasters, but if you do, you might lose them.

Christian, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
01:56:59.440
Uh, speaking of Chicago, last time we talked, you guys are making fun of me because I had
01:57:04.520
to go to a sales meeting in Chicago and couldn't vote for a cruise in the caucus.
01:57:13.560
So, uh, you, you nailed it there with the voting accident because I too, uh, lost all
01:57:24.780
And, but along with my polymer 80, but here's why I'm calling because, so I too got one of
01:57:30.100
these bad boys because I thought it'd be kind of fun to mill it out.
01:57:37.820

01:58:10.180
And it's definitely good Google to check out that polymer 80 rated.
01:58:15.980
I don't know anything about that, but you know, I don't know that it's a, it is a, it's
01:58:21.020
clear what they're doing, which is just a scare tactic.
01:58:24.120
That's it's a, it's a sort of marquee scare tactic to push the underlying goal, which is
01:58:29.300
to take away the law abiding citizens and their weapons.
