Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:08.240 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.
00:00:11.440 Today he'll be back on Monday morning, 888-727-BECK.
00:00:18.300 It looks like the president has narrowed his options for Supreme Court nominee down to three now.
00:00:26.200 With the main focus on two in particular.
00:00:31.920 Of course, the one that most people believe, most conservatives believe, is the least desirable.
00:00:40.560 Brett Kavanaugh.
00:00:44.060 Some issues with him, potentially.
00:00:47.640 Although, you know, everybody on the list of 25 is pretty reasonable and pretty acceptable to most people.
00:00:55.060 But this is probably the least of the best, I guess.
00:00:59.780 And Raymond Kethledge is the other one who might be a little more solidly constitutionalist, textualist.
00:01:09.660 Amy Coney Barrett.
00:01:12.100 She's not as much, apparently, according to what I've been reading.
00:01:16.220 Top three, though.
00:01:17.000 In the focus.
00:01:17.640 But she made the top three.
00:01:19.760 Obviously, missing from the list, anybody we wanted the most.
00:01:25.060 Mike Lee, in particular.
00:01:28.420 Trump might pull it out of his back pocket, though.
00:01:30.200 Wouldn't that be great?
00:01:31.460 I mean, I don't anticipate that happening.
00:01:34.240 But it would be awesome if he just surprised us and picked Mike Lee.
00:01:37.780 Or his brother, Thomas Lee, who's on the Utah Supreme Court.
00:01:40.260 Mike, get up here.
00:01:41.260 That'd be great.
00:01:41.680 Come up here.
00:01:42.540 Great.
00:01:43.020 It's not going to happen.
00:01:43.880 But it'd be great.
00:01:44.500 It's just that this time I was a little afraid that because he picked such a solidly constitutional guy, such a solidly conservative guy, apparently, in the last Supreme Court justice, Gorsuch.
00:02:03.840 Which, I was worried that this time he might go another way.
00:02:09.100 So it was a little bit more palatable to the left.
00:02:12.380 Well, and look, he still sticks to the list.
00:02:15.080 He doesn't waver from the list.
00:02:17.340 So he sticks with that, which should make everyone at least pleased.
00:02:21.740 And then he goes to the candidate that's most pleasing to the left.
00:02:28.660 I don't know that, you know, he's been getting beat up.
00:02:32.040 He gets beat up every day, every minute, every hour.
00:02:34.880 I mean, at least he can try to, if he does this, they might ease up a little bit.
00:02:38.800 I don't think they will.
00:02:40.060 I don't think they will.
00:02:41.080 He likes the fight.
00:02:42.400 So fight that fight.
00:02:44.880 If there's anybody who likes to mix it up, it's Donald Trump.
00:02:48.860 I think he loves the battle.
00:02:53.780 He's stirring things up in Montana right now with that speech he made yesterday at the rally.
00:03:01.020 There's just nothing the guy won't say.
00:03:04.460 No.
00:03:04.940 So it's fascinating.
00:03:07.700 But President Trump said yesterday, I think I have it down to four people.
00:03:12.140 And I think of the four people, I have it down to three or two.
00:03:16.400 What?
00:03:17.260 Wait.
00:03:17.920 Right.
00:03:18.860 Do you have four on the list?
00:03:20.140 I think I have it down to four people.
00:03:22.540 And of the four, it's really two.
00:03:24.480 It's really three or two.
00:03:26.860 I think they're all outstanding, he said.
00:03:29.160 I don't want to say the four, but I have it down to four.
00:03:32.640 I'll have a decision made in my mind by Sunday.
00:03:35.280 We'll announce it on Monday.
00:03:36.400 So he's sticking to that plan.
00:03:37.600 On the short list, supposedly, were federal judges Thomas Hardiman, Amul Tabar, Joan Larson, Mike Lee, supposedly are still in contention.
00:03:49.580 Mike Lee is supposedly still in contention.
00:03:56.200 That's pretty interesting.
00:03:57.400 So it may just be speculation because he didn't say, hey, it's down to Kethledge and Kavanaugh.
00:04:02.500 No, he did not.
00:04:02.980 He didn't say that.
00:04:03.960 No, he did not.
00:04:04.460 This is speculation by.
00:04:05.840 He said it was down, you know, down to four and maybe three or two.
00:04:11.480 So he put it way better than anybody else could have.
00:04:15.160 Thank you.
00:04:15.620 I mean, that says it all right there.
00:04:18.660 I have it down to four and maybe three or two.
00:04:21.040 And out of the four, maybe three or two.
00:04:23.640 How about that?
00:04:24.200 What don't you understand about that?
00:04:28.420 He definitely has a way, doesn't he?
00:04:30.440 He's got a way of speaking, a way of conducting himself.
00:04:34.660 It's interesting.
00:04:35.240 Of course, yesterday, too, pretty interesting day with the resignation of Scott Pruitt, the EPA head.
00:04:41.500 Boy, talk about a guy that took a beating nonstop.
00:04:44.940 Well, but he, you know, he brought it on himself with all the spending for one thing.
00:04:52.380 Some of the people on his side were questioning whether, you know, some of that was a little overdone.
00:05:01.520 Yeah.
00:05:01.800 And it probably is.
00:05:03.220 It probably is a little bit overdone.
00:05:06.600 But, you know, he was getting accosted in restaurants by leftists.
00:05:13.240 He was in the news almost every day being bashed by somebody about something.
00:05:20.660 Well, he was killing the planet is what he was doing as EPA director.
00:05:24.100 I mean, he was killing the planet.
00:05:26.220 As that leftist mother said to him, we need an EPA chief who believes in climate change.
00:05:33.040 Wait, what?
00:05:34.180 Oh, yeah.
00:05:34.580 I mean, that's what they believe.
00:05:35.640 And look, the guy that's the interim director doesn't believe in it either.
00:05:40.080 So he's going to get ready for another beating of that.
00:05:42.420 Um, why is it necessary to believe in a hoax to be EPA chief?
00:05:50.800 That's what I would have been asking people.
00:05:52.840 Excuse me.
00:05:53.440 You want me to believe in the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind?
00:05:58.000 Climate change is a hoax now?
00:05:59.340 Uh-huh.
00:05:59.640 It is.
00:06:00.020 Oh, wow.
00:06:00.660 It is.
00:06:01.240 Now, has the climate changed a little bit?
00:06:03.840 Yeah, it always does.
00:06:05.380 But is it catastrophic and man-caused?
00:06:07.900 No.
00:06:08.500 Stop it.
00:06:09.960 It's ridiculous.
00:06:11.380 He doesn't say that to the mother, though.
00:06:12.880 No, he didn't say anything to her.
00:06:15.080 And maybe that's the good thing.
00:06:16.520 I mean, when you're in a restaurant and whatever happens is not good for you if you reply.
00:06:22.400 I'll tell you this.
00:06:23.400 He handled that restaurant encounter a lot better than I would have.
00:06:27.540 I would not have sat there silent just looking at her.
00:06:31.360 What else you have for me?
00:06:32.700 Well, that's what I mean.
00:06:33.480 But if he replies, right, then it's even worse.
00:06:36.320 It's a no-win situation.
00:06:37.960 Yeah, definitely.
00:06:39.340 You know, because you want to.
00:06:40.700 You want to just say, look.
00:06:41.960 You desperately want to.
00:06:43.420 Why don't you sit down, pumpkin?
00:06:45.400 Let's have a little talk.
00:06:46.660 Uh-huh.
00:06:47.120 Exactly.
00:06:49.140 Exactly.
00:06:50.460 I might have said exactly that, just not as politely.
00:06:55.860 Another thing is maybe, how about you, did I come over and bother you?
00:07:01.300 I know.
00:07:02.200 When you were eating?
00:07:03.480 With your family?
00:07:04.320 Because I don't know about me.
00:07:05.600 I was just sitting here trying to eat.
00:07:07.100 And then you came up and accosted me.
00:07:09.600 And I hate this new thing.
00:07:11.020 I hate accosting people in public.
00:07:13.000 And that's what they're all about now.
00:07:14.260 Boy, you are kidding.
00:07:15.340 This is going to be the new wave, I think, of events as they unfold with people in office
00:07:21.660 that the left doesn't like, they're just going to continue this tactic because they know
00:07:26.460 they've struck a nerve because it's despicable and they like to be despicable.
00:07:30.300 You know what else is fascinating?
00:07:33.080 Are all of the scandals completely ignored by the left during Obama's reign of terror
00:07:42.840 on this country?
00:07:44.420 In particular.
00:07:45.640 The scandal-free administration of Barack Obama?
00:07:49.480 Is that the one you're referring to?
00:07:51.640 Yes.
00:07:53.020 That is the very one.
00:07:55.660 Do you have some made-up list of some things that happened?
00:07:59.320 No.
00:07:59.880 No, I have an actual list of some actual things that occurred in Obama's EPA.
00:08:07.960 For instance, in 2012, EPA was charged with lethal experiments on hundreds of unsuspecting
00:08:17.380 subjects.
00:08:17.980 That was according to Forbes magazine.
00:08:21.700 The EPA illegally used social media to push for new EPA regulations.
00:08:27.040 A subpoena was issued after McCarthy deleted nearly 6,000 text messages.
00:08:34.840 Articles of impeachment were introduced against EPA head McCarthy after she was caught repeatedly
00:08:40.260 lying to Congress.
00:08:41.920 The EPA inspector general said McCarthy was lying when she said Michigan deserved blame for the
00:08:46.800 Flint crisis.
00:08:48.640 After the Colorado mine disaster, the EPA covered up incriminating evidence to shield its agents
00:08:53.920 from prosecution.
00:08:54.820 Remember that?
00:08:55.280 Oh, yeah.
00:08:55.820 I had forgotten about a lot of these.
00:08:58.440 The EPA knew risk of a blowout before the Colorado mine disaster and then later covered
00:09:03.920 up the evidence.
00:09:05.160 The EPA allowed a known convicted child molester to remain on the payroll for years, putting
00:09:10.340 him in a position to interact with the public.
00:09:12.120 I'd forgotten about that.
00:09:13.700 McCarthy was accused of permitting a workplace hostile to women, including letting workers
00:09:20.660 download porn, download porn, even child porn.
00:09:24.680 Gina McCarthy spent $630,000 on international travel from 2013 to 2016.
00:09:31.680 Well, nobody talked about her spending.
00:09:33.880 Nope.
00:09:34.640 Ever.
00:09:35.340 That's what I'm saying.
00:09:36.480 I mean, not a peep.
00:09:37.440 I mean, while while it's possible that, you know, Scott Pruitt was doing some things that
00:09:43.500 were violating some issues.
00:09:46.780 Yeah.
00:09:47.540 But not like questionable.
00:09:50.460 Obama's EPA hid experimental data debunking the 2015 ozone rule.
00:09:56.660 Obama EPA employees earned overtime without justification.
00:10:00.320 The EPA warned Alaskans to stop burning wood to keep warm while conducting water tests in
00:10:07.020 Alaska.
00:10:07.540 EPA agents treated locals like enemy combatants, even pointing a shotgun at a septuagenarian.
00:10:14.900 That's somebody over the age of 70.
00:10:18.820 I just translated that for you.
00:10:20.560 Thank you.
00:10:20.920 I appreciate it.
00:10:21.780 After committing one of the worst environmental atrocities in Colorado history with the Gold
00:10:26.160 Gold King mine disaster, the EPA still insisted it should have control over the nearby Animas
00:10:31.160 River.
00:10:32.500 And wasn't that the river that turned?
00:10:34.640 Yeah.
00:10:35.540 They had to turn orange or red or something.
00:10:37.600 It was something weird, strange, high color.
00:10:40.560 I mean, that that made news for about three minutes and then it was gone.
00:10:46.300 Nobody talked about it anymore.
00:10:48.540 Even as the Obama administration portrayed the Flint, Michigan water crisis as a failure of
00:10:53.000 Michigan's Republican governor.
00:10:54.280 Records show his EPA knew about the issue, but didn't tell anybody.
00:10:59.640 The EPA threatened a Wyoming man with $20 million in fines for creating an ecologically
00:11:05.540 beneficial pond for his farm livestock.
00:11:08.500 The EPA's WaterSense program urged kids not to take many baths.
00:11:14.280 The EPA is creating a wireless system to track how long hotel guests spend in the shower.
00:11:19.780 Oh, remember that?
00:11:20.720 Yeah.
00:11:21.420 It's all coming back.
00:11:22.800 Yes, because these things weren't talked about for days and weeks and months on end.
00:11:29.820 They might have been mentioned and then it was it.
00:11:32.340 That was it over that because the media wasn't interested.
00:11:35.460 There are 43 of these.
00:11:38.600 They don't even have time to list all the scandals during the Obama administration that went virtually unreported.
00:11:46.460 And even though, you know, we pay attention to this stuff every day and look for this stuff and talk about this stuff every day.
00:11:52.660 I had forgotten about a lot of these because nobody spent any time with it.
00:11:57.560 Right.
00:11:57.700 But I mean, at least we did talk about it at the time.
00:12:00.620 We talked about a lot of just I don't know how we just didn't beat him to death.
00:12:03.700 I mean, how long do you beat it?
00:12:04.900 Yeah, I don't know.
00:12:05.700 There were too many other things going on.
00:12:08.900 Correct.
00:12:09.420 Every day.
00:12:10.320 Right.
00:12:11.140 But now that there's a guy in office that they hate, it's the worst thing in the world.
00:12:15.460 And he's the worst EPA head ever.
00:12:17.720 So just a little reminder in Obama's scandal free administration.
00:12:24.680 Thank you.
00:12:25.240 In this list alone, I mean, five for 2013, May 14th, May 31st, June 4th, June 5th, June 7th, June 10th.
00:12:35.340 I mean, it was always something.
00:12:36.720 Always something.
00:12:37.940 Yeah.
00:12:38.600 Really amazing.
00:12:40.040 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.
00:12:42.000 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:46.220 Triple eight.
00:12:47.720 Seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.
00:12:49.140 Pat Gray, Jeffy for Glenn.
00:12:51.660 It's really sad news.
00:12:52.880 Ed Schultz died.
00:12:54.140 I know.
00:12:55.500 I mean, did we have our battles with him?
00:12:58.380 Absolutely.
00:12:59.280 In fun political ways?
00:13:00.640 Of course.
00:13:01.420 Of course we did.
00:13:03.400 But wow, that's very, very sad.
00:13:06.180 He was only 64.
00:13:07.640 Now, people, I never met Ed Schultz in person, so I didn't know him.
00:13:12.760 People said great things about him yesterday.
00:13:14.400 People who'd worked with him, people who did know him, said he was a really good guy.
00:13:22.180 And so, Ed, they didn't really say what the cause of death was other than natural causes.
00:13:27.760 Natural causes.
00:13:29.140 Not sure what that is.
00:13:30.360 Not sure what that means, no.
00:13:31.560 Is that too much pork in your diet?
00:13:35.940 Is that...
00:13:36.300 Heart attack.
00:13:37.000 Anything.
00:13:37.700 Stroke sometimes.
00:13:39.420 I don't know.
00:13:39.880 Too bad.
00:13:40.140 Is cancer?
00:13:40.820 Is that a natural cause?
00:13:42.020 I don't think so, but maybe.
00:13:44.200 You know, they have not said, so I don't know that we will...
00:13:47.520 I mean, I guess sometime down the line we'll have to know, right?
00:13:50.080 That usually comes out.
00:13:51.300 Usually does, yeah.
00:13:53.200 Especially if you're any kind of a celebrity.
00:13:55.780 But condolences, certainly for his wife and family and those who do not.
00:13:59.180 Very sad.
00:14:01.500 888-727-BECK.
00:14:02.860 Then, we have this grown man in the Whataburger.
00:14:08.060 A little attack in San Antonio the other day.
00:14:12.120 30 years old, this guy.
00:14:14.480 Walks past these three teenagers sitting there having lunch.
00:14:19.940 Picks up one of their large drinks and throws it in the face of this 16-year-old kid.
00:14:26.540 Again, 30-year-old grown man.
00:14:28.340 Throws his drink in his face because he's wearing a Trump cap.
00:14:34.900 Also tore the cap off of his head.
00:14:37.020 Yeah, ripped hair out of his head.
00:14:38.660 Ripped some hair out.
00:14:39.740 And stole it from him.
00:14:41.640 Well, fortunately, the guy was recognized, found, and fired from his job.
00:14:48.980 So, a little poetic justice there.
00:14:52.820 I don't know why all of a sudden...
00:14:55.220 And maybe it's not all of a sudden.
00:14:56.360 I guess this kind of stuff has been coming for a while.
00:14:59.120 But how do you think that's okay?
00:15:01.780 How have we gotten to the point where a grown man thinks it's okay to treat 16-year-old kids like this?
00:15:09.980 I don't know.
00:15:10.900 This was...
00:15:11.500 You said it was a lunch.
00:15:13.920 But it was in the middle of the night, really.
00:15:15.880 Oh, yeah.
00:15:16.920 So, nobody's in there, right?
00:15:19.660 I mean, that may have been where he felt empowered.
00:15:22.260 Is that the kids...
00:15:23.940 The boys were in there.
00:15:24.640 They're eating.
00:15:25.480 Nobody else is in there.
00:15:26.460 And he can be a jerk.
00:15:27.960 You know, without anybody else confronting him.
00:15:30.140 Because he knows the 16-year-olds probably won't confront him.
00:15:33.060 And they really didn't.
00:15:34.820 And probably shouldn't have.
00:15:36.760 You know, it just seems like there was a time when you would see something that you disagreed with.
00:15:44.080 And think something to yourself and move on.
00:15:46.700 Or, you know...
00:15:48.420 Or, you would just say, what are you doing wearing that Make America Great hat again?
00:15:52.480 Right.
00:15:52.800 Don't you know?
00:15:53.280 What are you doing?
00:15:54.040 You like Trump or what?
00:15:54.580 Joke around a little bit with him.
00:15:55.920 Yes.
00:15:56.440 Mm-hmm.
00:15:58.400 But we're...
00:15:58.860 I mean, it's okay to disagree.
00:16:00.920 It's not anymore, though.
00:16:02.160 No, it's not.
00:16:02.720 Not even close.
00:16:04.420 And that's sad.
00:16:06.080 Well, and it's frightening.
00:16:08.180 Because it feels, you know, like we're on the brink of just coming apart at the seams.
00:16:14.160 I know.
00:16:15.620 And that's what a lot of people are predicting.
00:16:17.500 We had that survey that came out last week that said that so many Americans right now, wasn't it?
00:16:24.660 It was...
00:16:25.180 I think it was like 48% of Americans believe that we're within five years of Civil War.
00:16:31.780 And at this pace, it's hard not to believe that.
00:16:36.720 Unless we get a grip on it.
00:16:38.740 You know, I see Beto O'Rourke bumper stickers from time to time.
00:16:45.200 And don't yell and scream and go crazy over the person who has it on their car.
00:16:50.520 Let me tell you something.
00:16:51.000 Or has a lawn sign.
00:16:52.660 There's a Beto Yard sign in my neighborhood.
00:16:55.200 Mm-hmm.
00:16:55.680 I have ripped that thing down.
00:16:58.460 Have you?
00:16:58.880 Kicked it.
00:16:59.620 Uh-huh.
00:16:59.820 Thrown it up against the house.
00:17:01.300 I can't tell you how many times, and yet they keep putting it back up.
00:17:04.540 Mm-hmm.
00:17:04.860 I don't even know what to do.
00:17:06.060 Of course not.
00:17:07.220 No.
00:17:08.100 I mean, I haven't seen that many of them, thankfully.
00:17:10.200 No, I have not either.
00:17:10.960 I've seen a yard sign and a bumper sticker.
00:17:12.840 That's all I've seen.
00:17:13.080 Saw one last week.
00:17:13.940 And we've...
00:17:14.400 So that makes between yard signs and bumper stickers.
00:17:19.340 Beto O'Rourke, by the way, if you're not familiar, is the guy running against Ted Cruz in the blue wave.
00:17:25.340 There's a blue wave!
00:17:26.820 Sweeping Texas!
00:17:28.060 Blue wave!
00:17:29.140 Okay, and this is the guy.
00:17:30.860 This is the Irish-American who, for some reason, has adopted a Hispanic nickname.
00:17:38.240 He's not Hispanic, but he's got a Hispanic nickname.
00:17:41.480 I thought that was cultural appropriation.
00:17:44.200 I thought that was verboten.
00:17:46.580 You weren't supposed to do that.
00:17:48.440 Not if he's just...
00:17:48.980 Beto is just what he's been called, Pat.
00:17:51.600 He's just called that.
00:17:52.500 It's not appropriating anything.
00:17:54.860 You were just called that.
00:17:55.640 You can't be called that.
00:17:56.900 That's somebody else's culture.
00:17:59.180 You're appropriating someone else's culture.
00:18:02.720 And I won't hear of it.
00:18:05.640 And yet, Beto continues to use it.
00:18:08.680 He does.
00:18:09.100 Well, he's part of the blue wave.
00:18:10.360 And we've seen, like you said, we've got, what, two or three bumper stickers in the Metroplex and a yard sign.
00:18:16.080 And three or four yard signs now.
00:18:18.080 Yeah.
00:18:18.480 You want to talk about a wave.
00:18:19.520 I think we're up to seven total sightings.
00:18:22.360 Ooh.
00:18:23.140 It's, it's, uh, it's almost a tidal wave at this point.
00:18:29.200 A tidal wave.
00:18:31.200 Of Beto O'Rourke.
00:18:32.480 Now, here's what blows me away.
00:18:33.860 According to a poll last week, Ted Cruz is ahead of Beto O'Rourke, but only by five points.
00:18:40.940 No way.
00:18:41.480 I don't believe that.
00:18:42.600 I don't either.
00:18:42.920 I don't believe that.
00:18:44.560 Fifteen, maybe.
00:18:45.960 Not five.
00:18:47.900 Triple eight, seven, two, seven.
00:18:49.580 Back.
00:18:50.020 Are you interested in your financial freedom?

00:20:06.060 Pat Gray Unleashed, on TheBlazeRadio.com, BlazeTV.com.
00:20:10.160 We did a special show.
00:20:11.940 The Blaze got talent a month or two ago.
00:20:16.360 A couple months.
00:20:17.260 And got really good feedback on it.
00:20:18.640 So if you missed that.
00:20:19.640 Oh, man, the show is really good.
00:20:21.060 Really a fun show.
00:20:22.480 Amazing talent that you have out there.
00:20:25.000 Seriously.
00:20:25.680 I know.
00:20:26.240 Seriously good talent.
00:20:27.520 So make sure you tune in immediately following the Glenn Beck program.
00:20:30.440 Uh, 888-727-BECK.
00:20:36.020 So according to a number of black female leaders, top Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
00:20:41.720 failed to defend Maxine Waters after the lawmaker encouraged the harassment of Trump employees
00:20:48.500 wherever they are in public, restaurants, department stores.
00:20:53.840 Uh, I, I assume in church, if you see them there, you can start screaming at them at the
00:21:00.140 top of your lungs.
00:21:01.560 Well, Democratic leadership didn't back her up, uh, because I think they were being a
00:21:09.180 little bit, I don't know, responsible, maybe a tad, but well, that's one of the first times
00:21:14.140 ever.
00:21:14.680 I mean, I will say that it did, it did, it was shocking that we decided that, wow.
00:21:19.980 Yeah.
00:21:20.080 I was surprised.
00:21:20.820 Schumer and Nancy Pelosi didn't come to her aid.
00:21:23.060 I was actually surprised.
00:21:24.240 I know.
00:21:24.760 Cause that they usually tow that line, man.
00:21:28.160 It doesn't matter.
00:21:29.480 But because I guess because Maxine Waters is black, they're racist for not backing her
00:21:35.700 up.
00:21:36.040 They must endorse everything she does, no matter how hateful or ridiculous it is.
00:21:42.460 Well, that's just, that is, it's just silly.
00:21:45.500 Self is ridiculous.
00:21:46.360 Yeah.
00:21:46.520 It is just silly.
00:21:47.900 And, and like we said, I was actually surprised they did the right thing there and said, no,
00:21:53.040 you know what?
00:21:53.620 We're, that's, that's un-American to hassle people in public like that.
00:21:58.520 Come on.
00:21:59.300 That, can you do it?
00:22:01.580 Uh, I don't know.
00:22:02.860 It depends.
00:22:03.860 Your rights kind of stop where you're infringing on other people's and they have just as much
00:22:08.780 right to be in that restaurant or that department store as you do.
00:22:11.940 And to try to drive them out is sort of fascistic, isn't it?
00:22:18.040 I mean, you're trying to take away their right to be there.
00:22:20.760 Yeah.
00:22:21.640 You're trying to make their life miserable and, uh, it's, it just shouldn't be done.
00:22:28.360 And that's kind of what they said.
00:22:31.000 But because Maxine is black, that's a racist, uh, viewpoint now.
00:22:34.860 I mean, that was, of course we, we definitely should have seen that coming because it absolutely
00:22:39.900 is going to be seen that way by many.
00:22:42.900 But, uh, you know, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi also know that they want to be able
00:22:47.380 to go out and eat dinner places and be left alone.
00:22:50.460 Yes.
00:22:50.900 They don't want this reciprocated.
00:22:53.080 Yeah, that's correct.
00:22:53.980 In any way.
00:22:55.860 And I think that's great because this thing could really escalate as we were talking about
00:22:59.740 a few minutes ago.
00:23:00.840 We got to get a grip on this, on the nastiness in the country.
00:23:05.120 Can't we disagree without being disagreeable?
00:23:09.380 Well, isn't, isn't that the question we love to ask?
00:23:14.280 I've got a path.
00:23:15.180 You know, isn't that right?
00:23:16.600 Yes.
00:23:16.980 Jeffy, can't we all just get along?
00:23:20.340 Can't we?
00:23:21.060 We've got to, we've got to find a path.
00:23:23.360 Love.
00:23:24.540 You know, I think England Dan and John Ford Coley said it best when they said, love is
00:23:30.040 the answer.
00:23:31.140 Before even knowing the question, they said that was the answer.
00:23:34.040 So, let's return to the friendly days of England Dan and John Ford Coley and remember that.
00:23:43.440 You know what I love seeing is, are all these stories about the kind of shape Sweden is in
00:23:50.060 now because here we are with this socialist movement in America where we've got all these
00:23:54.640 Democrats who really aren't Democrats.
00:23:57.640 They're socialists and they're just using the Democrat Party.
00:24:00.180 Oh, yeah.
00:24:00.520 I mean, the head of the DNC already said that's the wave of the future.
00:24:04.120 That's, that's, that's our party.
00:24:06.080 Right.
00:24:06.880 And we've been saying that for years, Democrats and socialists, the same thing.
00:24:11.340 Um, and so as we head in that direction, the, usually the countries that are held up are
00:24:18.900 not Venezuela because that's obviously a failed state, Cuba failed state, China.
00:24:24.540 Uh, we all know there's a lot of oppression and hundreds of millions of people in poverty
00:24:29.760 there.
00:24:30.100 So they always, they always turn to Sweden and Denmark and Norway and Finland for your
00:24:38.400 examples.
00:24:39.080 Well, we've had story after story lately of what kind of shape Sweden and these other nations,
00:24:45.720 these Scandinavian countries are in.
00:24:47.920 Um, they are taking a beating right now.
00:24:51.480 Just nine weeks left in their political campaigning in Sweden.
00:24:55.780 The latest polls estimate the level of support for Sweden's social Democrats is at about 25%.
00:25:03.340 Wow.
00:25:04.080 People are so tired of the socialist policies there that the social Democrats are, are in
00:25:12.460 danger of losing for the first time in a really long time.
00:25:16.140 Well, wait a minute.
00:25:17.820 I thought this was your Shangri-La.
00:25:20.080 I thought this was where they're really doing it right.
00:25:23.200 And we should go by the European socialist model.
00:25:26.620 That's what, that's kind of what we're told all the time.
00:25:29.580 That's what's, uh, inferred all the time.
00:25:32.840 But what's happening is, uh, people see this whole thing starting to crumble under this social
00:25:40.200 welfare that's going on.
00:25:41.380 It costs a lot of money to offer everybody free education, free healthcare, uh, guaranteed
00:25:49.400 jobs, free housing.
00:25:51.600 If you need it, you just can't afford that.
00:25:54.940 It's got to come from someplace.
00:25:56.840 There's just not a magical government tree that's growing money to pass out to people.
00:26:01.640 And so it's catching up to them, even in the, uh, even in the nirvana that is Sweden, even
00:26:10.580 in Finland, where they just did the minimum income thing, they did a lottery and drew out
00:26:15.780 a bunch of names and it didn't really even have much to do with your income level, but
00:26:20.560 they started sending people, I think it was $2,500, um, for the year.
00:26:26.420 And just here's free money, uh, go spend it with whatever you want, however you want.
00:26:31.760 And then we're going to continue that policy for a couple of years.
00:26:34.740 And it went so poorly for them in Finland.
00:26:37.640 They decided, yeah, you know what?
00:26:39.360 We're going to stop now.
00:26:40.500 Uh, we're not going to go for the rest of the, uh, year and a half that we have on this
00:26:44.980 program because it ain't working.
00:26:47.440 Yeah.
00:26:47.540 Well, I mean, it would look, I, for a, a basic minimum income, uh, would, I think would
00:26:55.980 work if, if you were to get rid of all other programs, which you'll never do, that'll never
00:27:07.820 happen.
00:27:08.280 If you were to get rid of all other programs, all other welfare programs and just say, we'll
00:27:13.100 give you so much money a year or, you know, monthly or whatever, however you, however
00:27:17.160 you want to work it out, um, possible that you might be able to make it work.
00:27:23.300 I have my doubts that it would work even then, but I don't think, but you're never going to
00:27:26.740 convince anyone to get rid of all the other programs because they, they, they don't believe
00:27:32.320 that they're getting, they're getting robbed of the program that they're already on.
00:27:35.900 Right.
00:27:36.240 Exactly.
00:27:37.000 And you can't get rid of the social programs you already have, just like you can't get
00:27:40.140 rid of the taxes that you already have, which is why when people talk about the fair tax
00:27:44.140 and they say, well, this replace it, you don't understand.
00:27:46.480 This is, it's a great tax because it's just on the new products you buy and it gets rid
00:27:52.980 of all the other taxes.
00:27:54.720 Every other federal tax in the world goes away as well as the IRS.
00:28:00.820 And I always thought it's just not going to happen.
00:28:03.580 Right.
00:28:04.300 Those taxes never go away.
00:28:06.400 I'm, would I love that?
00:28:07.300 You bet.
00:28:07.680 Would I love to abolish the IRS?
00:28:09.700 You bet.
00:28:10.880 Are we ever going to?
00:28:12.080 No.
00:28:13.140 I mean, I don't foresee it.
00:28:14.740 It would be a miracle to make that happen.
00:28:17.720 Oh, no way.
00:28:19.500 And I just don't see that happening, but it's, it's interesting to see all of these socialist
00:28:24.900 policies that are being tried all over the world just begin to crumble.
00:28:29.480 And in fact, we're trying a bunch of them here with the $15 an hour, uh, minimum wage in
00:28:35.440 places like Seattle and it's not working.
00:28:37.880 No, it is not.
00:28:38.720 And kids aren't able to find jobs.
00:28:40.820 And so you're cutting back on jobs.
00:28:42.820 And then when you're trying to push this in other areas, the $15 minimum wage, uh, what
00:28:48.760 do they do?
00:28:49.280 Instead, instead of hiring new people, uh, they go automated.
00:28:53.200 Which turns into, then you get more talk about basic minimum income, right?
00:28:57.580 Because people can't find jobs.
00:28:59.080 Well, how about we don't pay them the $15 an hour?
00:29:02.560 It's a never ending cycle here.
00:29:04.120 Definitely a never ending cycle.
00:29:05.460 It's really strange how it's, I don't, that they don't see it.
00:29:09.760 Now there's some countries, you know, on top of all of the programs and then they're in
00:29:14.300 Europe, you're talking about, uh, uh, migration, uh, for, uh, new settlers into those countries
00:29:21.720 that they're just allowing.
00:29:22.880 I mean, uh, it's been, that's going really well for him.
00:29:26.400 It's going really well.
00:29:27.260 I mean, Merkel has, has lost pretty much her battle in Germany because they're saying, um,
00:29:33.340 Angela, uh, we love taking all these people, but no more relax on it, baby.
00:29:40.160 That's the thing.
00:29:41.160 There comes a time when you just can't do it anymore.
00:29:43.460 And Hungary is like, uh, we didn't never, we never wanted them.
00:29:46.040 We don't want them now.
00:29:46.860 Uh, if you want to come to Hungary, we'll, we'll talk to you about coming in, but, uh,
00:29:50.880 no.
00:29:52.340 That's why right now, uh, with all of the emphasis on the immigration situation, it is now considered
00:29:58.480 the top issue in the United States of America.
00:30:01.280 It's, it's even considered above the economy and healthcare as the most important issue
00:30:09.980 that's going to determine Americans vote ahead of the midterms coming up.
00:30:15.820 Now, I think Democrats see that as, well, that's a good thing for us because, uh, they can't
00:30:23.880 stand Trump's policy of separating families.
00:30:25.900 And while separating families certainly isn't a popular strategy, that doesn't mean people
00:30:32.200 want you to just open up the border and let everybody come who wants to come.
00:30:36.480 And they're going to misunderstand that.
00:30:38.560 I think.
00:30:39.280 I think many of them already do.
00:30:40.720 They're going to, uh, misunderstand what that means.
00:30:44.960 You see, they're going to, they're going to, they're going to misunderstand us, uh, in the
00:30:53.040 meantime, and they're going to misunderstand what that means at the polls in the words of
00:30:59.620 George Bush.
00:31:00.140 Um, so while the zero tolerance thing has been tough going and the Trump administration has
00:31:08.140 gotten a, has taken a beating for it, they still don't want illegals to just be allowed
00:31:13.860 to come, uh, as much as they want to go back and forth as they please.
00:31:19.020 Don't even worry about the border.
00:31:20.840 We don't need any security there.
00:31:22.760 I don't either.
00:31:23.340 I'm on that side.
00:31:24.280 Are you on that side?
00:31:25.000 I'm on that side.
00:31:25.600 Yeah.
00:31:25.780 You're there now on the hateful side, the hateful side.
00:31:28.920 Yeah.
00:31:29.400 I don't want them coming back and forth.
00:31:30.940 I don't want to come in the country.
00:31:32.760 I want to, I want to put a closed side up.
00:31:35.260 We're closed.
00:31:36.080 We're closed.
00:31:36.940 We're closed.
00:31:37.260 No vacancy.
00:31:39.060 Blink.
00:31:39.760 Blink.
00:31:40.260 I do want to, I mean, the border has got to be secured and we just never have.
00:31:44.140 We've, we've never done that.
00:31:45.520 At least not in the last 50 years.
00:31:47.220 We, we have not secured the border and that should be the first, the first priority of any discussion
00:31:54.520 on immigration.
00:31:55.540 And until you've done that, you can't fix the problem.
00:31:58.500 888-930, 888-727-BECK.
00:32:02.440 That's 727-BECK.
00:32:08.080 This is something.
00:32:11.160 According to a study, a survey in Great Britain, only two thirds of Generation Z, which is roughly
00:32:23.520 16 to 22-ish.
00:32:26.280 Okay.
00:32:27.180 Only two thirds of them identify as exclusively heterosexual.
00:32:33.640 66%.
00:32:34.240 Meaning 34% or something else.
00:32:38.200 Well, I mean, you don't want to limit your options.
00:32:40.260 By your day.
00:32:40.960 Trans.
00:32:41.920 Whatever.
00:32:42.340 Yeah.
00:32:44.640 LGBTQIA+.
00:32:46.000 Plus.
00:32:47.180 Yeah.
00:32:47.500 We don't want to miss any option.
00:32:50.140 We don't want to exclude any possibility.
00:32:54.920 I mean, they're making it all, all okay.
00:32:57.620 That's for sure.
00:32:58.760 Yeah.
00:32:59.000 And, and apparently, according to this research among millennials.
00:33:05.540 So that's a generation before the Generation Z, right?
00:33:10.900 Generation Z, I believe is the latest generation.
00:33:13.780 Okay.
00:33:14.020 Well, they can't be the latest if they're 16, because there's going to be one after that.
00:33:18.980 Which are what?
00:33:19.940 What are those called?
00:33:20.980 People who are born in the last 15 years.
00:33:24.720 Anyway.
00:33:25.440 Punks.
00:33:25.740 Among punks.
00:33:26.740 Punks.
00:33:27.200 Yes, you're right.
00:33:28.120 That's exactly what it is.
00:33:29.080 The punk generation.
00:33:31.380 Among millennials, 71% say they're exclusively heterosexual.
00:33:36.000 That's still low.
00:33:37.480 85% in Gen X and 88% of baby boomers.
00:33:45.580 Research suggested that social media is playing a big part of this, with young people more
00:33:51.800 likely to be aware of different sexualities, of experimentation being more open and fluid
00:33:59.180 in their attitudes.
00:34:00.400 Yeah.
00:34:01.420 Yeah.
00:34:01.940 It's interesting.
00:34:02.740 It is interesting.
00:34:03.520 I watched the show.
00:34:04.340 And you can see that reflected in the TV programs.
00:34:07.400 Absolutely.
00:34:07.860 Oh, my gosh.
00:34:08.580 And movies.
00:34:10.600 Well, I mean, we're getting...
00:34:12.600 What's her face is getting hollered at now, because she's going to play a transgender person,
00:34:16.840 right?
00:34:17.500 Scarlett Johansson.
00:34:18.140 Scarlett Johansson.
00:34:19.080 Mm-hmm.
00:34:19.700 And the trans community.
00:34:21.480 And how dare she play a transsexual person when she's not transsexual?
00:34:24.980 I won't hear of an actress acting.
00:34:27.160 I won't have enough.
00:34:28.100 That's just enough.
00:34:29.340 That's enough.
00:34:29.920 Well, that should go to a trans person.
00:34:31.560 If you have a trans role, she'd go to a trans actor.
00:34:35.860 That's what they believe.
00:34:36.700 I know.
00:34:37.240 I know.
00:34:38.160 I haven't given it a lot of thought.
00:34:40.860 I mean...
00:34:41.300 Not as much as I probably should.
00:34:42.860 They've already got...
00:34:43.800 Looking at it from their point of view, you have the Italian-American group that they all
00:34:51.600 play in the mafia movies.
00:34:53.760 You have the Native American actors and actresses that they all play in any parts that...
00:34:59.940 Any shows that use Native Americans, that those are the...
00:35:03.360 You know, they pull from that crowd.
00:35:06.140 Yep.
00:35:06.400 Which is fine.
00:35:07.280 Mm-hmm.
00:35:07.480 You know, I got no problem with that whatsoever.
00:35:09.320 So, from their point of view, I guess Hollywood should be doing that too.
00:35:13.120 So, if you have a trans part, it should be a trans actor.
00:35:15.100 It should be a trans actor.
00:35:16.020 However, how many trans actors do you know with the notoriety of Scarlett Johansson?
00:35:21.200 Right.
00:35:21.620 And worthy enough of drawing a crowd.
00:35:23.620 Correct.
00:35:24.080 You want a star.
00:35:24.860 You want people to come to your movie.
00:35:26.400 You want an actress.
00:35:28.520 It's crazy.
00:35:29.020 Triple-A-727-B-E-C-K.
00:35:35.440 Glenn Beck.
00:35:37.540 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:35:40.280 Triple-A-727-B-E-C-K.
00:35:42.620 Scott Pruitt resigned as EPA head yesterday.
00:35:47.540 In the meantime, another scandal from the EPA sort of spilled out.
00:35:54.020 And I don't know if this was a final straw or what, but a senior scheduler, Madeline Morris,
00:36:02.540 was fired last summer for allegedly questioning the practice of deleting items from the official calendar at Scott Pruitt's behest.
00:36:11.180 So that's kind of blowing up, too.
00:36:15.320 And maybe that was the final straw.
00:36:17.440 You know, there were some other things that they said that he asked them to do.
00:36:21.780 I mean, when you are the boss, what's too far asking employees what to do for you?
00:36:29.140 Well, if it's illegal, that's too far.
00:36:33.120 Can we agree on that?
00:36:35.720 What's illegal?
00:36:36.560 Of course, I forgot who I was talking to for a second.
00:36:38.460 And again, this ignores the 43 scandals.
00:36:44.760 Right.
00:36:45.200 Of course.
00:36:45.660 Of course.
00:36:46.120 Under Gina McCarthy's reign of terror at the EPA and Barack Obama.
00:36:52.720 Forty.
00:36:53.640 I know.
00:36:54.040 It's amazing.
00:36:55.360 That the media, it couldn't care less about.
00:36:57.940 They don't care about this.
00:36:58.840 We went down some of that list last hour.
00:37:01.320 Yeah, there's not even time to go over all of it.
00:37:03.040 And some of them, you go, oh, that's right.
00:37:05.000 And then we moved on.
00:37:06.100 Oh, that's right.
00:37:06.840 Then we moved on.
00:37:07.400 I remember talking about a lot of these.
00:37:10.520 And then they just disappeared.
00:37:12.860 Let's go away.
00:37:13.180 Oh, poof.
00:37:14.180 Because, I mean, I think we talked about it on talk radio.
00:37:17.020 But I don't think it was picked up by CNN or MSNBC.
00:37:20.480 They certainly didn't spend any time with it.
00:37:22.420 And they did pick it up at all.
00:37:25.820 888-727-BECK.
00:37:28.060 Let's go to John in Indiana.
00:37:31.120 John, hi.
00:37:32.160 You're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.
00:37:34.840 Good to talk to you, boys.
00:37:36.520 I want to go back to the immigration thing and put forth the proposition that immigration is an obsolete concept and that we need to do something completely different.
00:37:50.520 This is tied in.
00:37:51.760 Immigration is tied in directly with imperialism.
00:37:55.520 The left always says imperialism is bad and you've got to stop it.
00:38:01.140 Well, your basic function, materialism, is one group of people going someplace else to live, people moving their residence.
00:38:10.320 Well, if that's imperialism under, say, the Spanish in the old days and it was organized by a government to get rid of people or to conquer territory, it's still people moving.
00:38:23.400 But if it's just people coming over your borders because it's way crappier where they're from, it's still people moving from place to place.
00:38:35.100 Now, that might have worked when the world was kind of empty, but we're a little bit full up in all the habitable zones.
00:38:43.280 So I think we're at a position now where we need to say, everybody just stay where you were born, dig in, and make that place better.
00:38:54.840 But, you know, we tried that when we tried to take Americanism around the world and, you know, show people how to make cars and play baseball, and they called us imperialists for doing it.
00:39:06.540 So you can't satisfy the left.
00:39:08.500 They're completely unreasonable.
00:39:10.420 Yeah.
00:39:10.600 But immigration should die.
00:39:12.500 If imperialism's got to go, then immigration's got to go.
00:39:15.860 Yeah.
00:39:16.340 Are you talking imperialism or colonialism?
00:39:18.620 Well, colonialism, imperialism, you know, it was basically guys at the top, you know,
00:39:23.920 pushing people in and out.
00:39:25.940 I mean, you can't shift populations anymore.
00:39:29.180 There's nowhere to run to.
00:39:30.820 Dig in and, you know, defend what you got because that's where you're at.
00:39:35.920 Thanks, John.
00:39:36.420 Appreciate the call.
00:39:37.280 There's definitely something to staying where you are and making it better, and we never discuss that.
00:39:43.000 No, we don't, and we never discuss it at all.
00:39:44.940 And even some countries are asking, Syria, I believe, is asking some of their former people
00:39:54.140 to come back and help them rebuild.
00:39:56.800 Well, and they should.
00:39:57.720 Yeah.
00:39:58.300 They absolutely should.
00:39:59.500 Look at how many people, look at how many men between 18 and 34, like fighting age, just left.
00:40:06.320 Just instead of defending their country, instead of trying to make it better, instead of fighting
00:40:11.400 for where they lived, they just left and went to Europe.
00:40:14.420 I mean, millions.
00:40:17.280 So what responsibility do people in their country have of making their country habitable?
00:40:25.140 I think they have a responsibility.
00:40:27.120 I think so, too.
00:40:28.280 In fact, I know they do, and we all know they do.
00:40:30.980 But we never talk about, you know, Mexico taking some responsibility for the shape that
00:40:39.540 that country's in and trying to make it a better place to live.
00:40:45.200 I mean, you're talking about one of the highest murder rates in the world.
00:40:49.380 Oh, yeah.
00:40:50.000 On the scale of a war zone, on the scale of like Syria and Iraq.
00:40:55.700 The tens of thousands.
00:40:56.600 Yeah.
00:40:56.820 And with a population of one third the United States of America, they had, I think it was
00:41:03.300 five to 10,000 more murders last year.
00:41:05.900 I mean, that's unbelievable.
00:41:07.900 Yes, it is.
00:41:08.840 It's unbelievable.
00:41:10.320 During the campaign, 182 politicians and candidates were murdered.
00:41:16.680 182.
00:41:18.680 The situation's out of control there.
00:41:20.540 And if people can't afford to live there, something's got to be done by the people of
00:41:27.020 Mexico.
00:41:27.440 Right.
00:41:28.200 You got to rise up and make it better.
00:41:31.060 And it's interesting because rather than encourage that, this new president, who's a big leftist,
00:41:38.240 a socialist, the most left-wing person elected in Mexico since probably the 30s.
00:41:44.720 And he's talking about, well, everybody has a basic human right to come into the United
00:41:52.100 States.
00:41:52.920 Of course.
00:41:53.000 Of course.
00:41:53.540 Of course they do.
00:41:55.840 No.
00:41:56.540 No, they don't.
00:41:57.340 No, they don't.
00:41:58.320 No, they don't.
00:41:58.940 No, they don't.
00:42:00.880 There is no basic human right to sneak across our border illegally.
00:42:04.980 No.
00:42:06.460 No.
00:42:06.860 So in contrast to that, the first lady of Honduras came to the border and she was talking
00:42:13.420 to her people and encouraging them to go back home and stay there.
00:42:17.720 And she encouraged her people of Honduras to stay there and help us transform it and make
00:42:23.880 it better so that you don't need to come to the United States.
00:42:27.800 Make Honduras better.
00:42:29.180 What a concept.
00:42:30.680 What a concept.
00:42:31.760 Really?
00:42:32.560 You could maybe stay there, educate yourself there.
00:42:35.440 Learn a skill there.
00:42:38.580 Whatever resources your country has, let's make it work.
00:42:41.520 Let's take advantage of them.
00:42:42.720 Yes.
00:42:43.300 Let's exploit our resources and let's make it a better place to live.
00:42:48.220 This seems like a no brainer.
00:42:50.320 It does.
00:42:51.380 It does.
00:42:52.280 Travis in North Dakota, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:42:56.420 Morning, boys.
00:42:57.320 How are you doing today?
00:42:58.120 Good.
00:42:59.360 I don't care.
00:43:00.760 Hey, you're talking about the living wage thing.
00:43:05.320 Sweden and they're wanting to do that here.
00:43:07.180 In my opinion, the best way to get a living wage and a good minimum wage is you don't need
00:43:13.700 to say that.
00:43:14.460 You just need the jobs.
00:43:15.480 Right now in Williston, we're short at least 5,000 to 6,000 people that I'm aware of at
00:43:20.820 the last I heard to go to work.
00:43:22.600 5,000 to 6,000?
00:43:23.840 I think more than that.
00:43:24.660 5,000 to 6,000.
00:43:25.740 Wow.
00:43:26.200 I think it is more than that.
00:43:27.760 I think so, too.
00:43:28.380 It's just in my area.
00:43:31.000 But I have a revolving door of people coming in to apply for I own a trucking company and
00:43:36.000 these people come in and either they can't pass a drug test or I have them say, well,
00:43:40.440 can you just sign my sheet for unemployment saying that I was looking for a job?
00:43:43.800 That's actually the biggest problem that they have in South Texas and West Texas down in
00:43:48.780 Midland and stuff with the driving, hauling oil and everything around with truck drivers.
00:43:54.160 They'll train you to do it.
00:43:55.300 They'll give you money.
00:43:56.560 They'll train you to do it.
00:43:57.740 But so many people come in and can't pass the drug test.
00:44:01.220 Can't pass the drug test or don't want to go to work.
00:44:03.100 I have colleagues, friends of mine that own their own businesses as well and they need
00:44:08.760 labor hands.
00:44:09.600 Can't find labor hands.
00:44:10.680 People just to run shovels, turn wrenches, use hammers, even operate equipment.
00:44:16.440 They still have to pass a drug test.
00:44:17.820 They can't find help.
00:44:18.900 Nobody can find help.
00:44:20.100 We're to the point where we can't hire people.
00:44:22.420 We have to buy them.
00:44:23.620 Basically, we have to spend so much money to get them to come to work for us that it's
00:44:29.780 causing an inflationary deal up here.
00:44:32.520 But we can't find help.
00:44:34.560 And I've got friends across the country I've talked to in Iowa, in a bunch of different
00:44:39.740 places that it's not just here.
00:44:42.260 It's nationwide.
00:44:43.380 Nobody can find help that's qualified, wants to go to work, or can go to work because of
00:44:47.980 their current drug situation.
00:44:50.300 Now, what city are you in in North Dakota?
00:44:53.800 I'm in Williston.
00:44:54.840 I'm right in the heart of the Bakken.
00:44:56.220 Yeah, okay.
00:44:57.160 Yeah, so that's still booming?
00:45:00.980 It's picking up again.
00:45:02.200 It's getting really here right now.
00:45:04.160 Summer's here.
00:45:05.260 You know, frost is out of the ground.
00:45:06.460 Everybody's really going to work, and we just can't find help.
00:45:09.940 It's really a struggle to find people to go to work.
00:45:13.500 And, I mean, the oil industry pays pretty well, right?
00:45:16.520 Yes, they do.
00:45:17.520 Oh, no, very well.
00:45:19.020 I mean, but the problem is, you know, people come here thinking they're going to kick gold
00:45:22.920 bricks out of their way walking down the street.
00:45:24.760 They don't know that, yeah, it pays well, but you have to work for it.
00:45:28.380 I mean, it is, you start at the bottom unless you're already been in it, and you can move
00:45:33.000 to a different spot laterally and go up from there.
00:45:35.680 But if you're going to come up here and start with no experience, you have to work.
00:45:39.780 Oh, I don't want to do that.
00:45:41.500 I don't want to work.
00:45:42.940 I wanted to start at maybe vice president of the company or maybe CEO.
00:45:47.360 That's where I want to begin.
00:45:48.360 That's the mindset of the millennials, isn't it?
00:45:51.320 Yes.
00:45:52.080 Yeah.
00:45:52.420 They want to start out in managerial positions, and they don't know what they're doing.
00:45:55.860 They don't even know how to run the shovel, let alone tell you how to run the shovel.
00:45:59.140 They want to start out where their parents ended up.
00:46:02.780 Yes.
00:46:03.240 That's what they want to do.
00:46:04.700 Appreciate it.
00:46:05.260 Thanks, Travis.
00:46:05.780 And they know exactly, you know, you said they, I mean, he tried to make you think that they
00:46:09.620 didn't know what they were talking about.
00:46:10.960 I mean, they've seen it.
00:46:12.100 They've seen people do that stuff before.
00:46:14.340 Yeah, they've watched it on TV.
00:46:15.960 Once you've seen it, do you know how to do it?
00:46:17.720 They've talked to their dad about their job.
00:46:19.560 Same thing.
00:46:20.140 They know how to do that.
00:46:21.000 Same thing.
00:46:22.700 There's nothing to it.
00:46:24.440 I mean, this older generation makes it seem like it's so tough, and you got to work your whole
00:46:28.320 life or what you have.
00:46:29.280 Uh-uh.
00:46:30.000 No, I'm starting there.
00:46:32.180 I'm starting there.
00:46:34.180 It sure does seem that way.
00:46:35.640 888-727-FACT.
00:46:39.680 Pat Gray and Jeffy.
00:46:41.360 Glenn's back on Monday.
00:46:44.000 He shows you who really cares about you.
00:46:46.900 Jeffy and I do.
00:46:48.080 I mean, we are here for you on Independence Week.
00:46:51.240 We're here.
00:46:52.080 Is Stu here?
00:46:52.660 No.
00:46:53.140 Nope.
00:46:53.680 Is Glenn here?
00:46:54.600 Nope.
00:46:56.280 Pat Gray is here.
00:46:57.280 Jeff Fisher is here.
00:46:59.000 Thank you.
00:46:59.720 That's who cares about you.
00:47:00.660 We do.
00:47:00.900 We care about you.
00:47:01.360 We do.
00:47:01.740 We care about you and your family's health.
00:47:05.620 Not all the family.
00:47:06.820 No.
00:47:07.180 I mean, Pat may be all the family, but not me.
00:47:08.800 Your extended family that's like in Arkansas, I'm not sure I care about them that much.
00:47:14.120 Can they hear the signal?
00:47:15.280 Well, yes, they can.
00:47:16.100 They can.
00:47:16.540 They actually can.
00:47:17.340 So we do.
00:47:17.840 We love them a great deal.
00:47:19.000 Never mind.
00:47:19.380 Forget what I said.
00:47:22.400 Right.
00:47:22.720 It is a national show, so where are you going to go with that?
00:47:27.280 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven back.
00:47:31.080 Of course, uh, Scott Pruitt is out at the EPA.
00:47:35.500 The other thing is, uh, the other big, big news is that apparently president Trump has
00:47:41.120 narrowed the field down to, he said four.
00:47:44.600 And of those four, maybe three or two exact quote.
00:47:51.040 I don't know why you, why you think that's so, so bad.
00:47:54.360 I love it.
00:47:55.200 The man just, I love the way he thinks and speaks.
00:47:58.780 It's clear as day.
00:47:59.560 It's just awesome.
00:48:00.180 So that means to all the experts that the two most likely are Kavanaugh and Kethledge,
00:48:07.920 but he didn't say that.
00:48:09.940 So that's just speculation.
00:48:12.060 He has also, uh, met with and spoken to and on the short list is, uh, Thomas Hardiman,
00:48:21.180 a multipar, Joan Larson, and Mike Lee.
00:48:27.060 That's interesting.
00:48:28.720 So apparently he made the short list.
00:48:31.000 I mean, I doubt it.
00:48:33.440 Me too.
00:48:34.160 Yeah.
00:48:34.440 It's, he's not going to want to lose the Senate seat.
00:48:36.740 I don't think it's likely.
00:48:37.700 I mean, I, Mike would take it obviously.
00:48:39.700 And I think he's made that pretty clear.
00:48:41.100 He would take it if it was offered.
00:48:42.580 It's a good gig.
00:48:43.340 Yeah.
00:48:43.560 He's wanted to be, I mean, he's loved the Supreme court since he was 10 years old.
00:48:46.680 Right.
00:48:47.760 Shows how geeky he is.
00:48:49.120 Um, but, uh, also his love for the constitution, which is, isn't that what the Supreme court
00:48:55.800 is supposed to, I don't know if I'm right or not.
00:48:58.480 So I just want to be clear, but the Supreme court is supposed to look at things and see
00:49:02.400 how constitutional they are.
00:49:04.220 Well, I don't know.
00:49:04.960 Let's see.
00:49:05.280 What did, uh, what did justice Ginsburg say about that?
00:49:08.500 You should certainly be aided by all the constitution writing that has gone on since the end of world
00:49:16.340 war two, wait, what that doesn't include our, so, so I would not look to the U S constitution
00:49:21.300 if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012, I might look at the constitution of South
00:49:28.920 Africa, that was a deliberate, I mean, that just makes you laugh out loud to hear it.
00:49:35.840 It would be funny if it weren't so, it weren't so non funny, absolutely horrifying to have a
00:49:43.280 fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights.
00:49:48.560 Yeah.
00:49:48.920 We don't have that here.
00:49:49.960 We don't have, there's no basic human rights in the United States.
00:49:53.260 Uh, that's why you see all these labor camps all over the place.
00:49:56.920 Had an independent judiciary.
00:49:58.940 I wish we had an independent judiciary.
00:50:01.340 Wonder where they got that idea.
00:50:03.120 Huh?
00:50:04.920 Why didn't those 56 idiots think of an independent judiciary?
00:50:09.680 Duh!
00:50:11.800 Here she is part of the highest level of the independent judiciary.
00:50:17.900 She's talking about South Africa.
00:50:19.360 It's, it really is.
00:50:21.040 Really is.
00:50:21.560 I think, uh, she thinks.
00:50:22.980 A great piece of work that was done.
00:50:25.320 Yeah, yeah.
00:50:25.940 And much more recently than the U S constitution.
00:50:28.800 It's newer.
00:50:29.640 Canada.
00:50:30.400 Canada, right.
00:50:31.500 I mean, if it's newer, it's better.
00:50:33.860 Of course.
00:50:34.500 Obviously.
00:50:35.180 Has a charter of rights and freedoms.
00:50:37.300 Dates from charter of rights and freedoms.
00:50:40.020 I wish we had that.
00:50:41.840 Which we don't.
00:50:42.720 Something like, I don't know.
00:50:43.580 We're old.
00:50:44.400 What's it called?
00:50:45.560 What would you call something like a charter of rights?
00:50:48.240 A bill of rights, something like that.
00:50:50.820 If only we had that.
00:50:52.340 If it was, well, there was just Canada does.
00:50:55.000 No foresight on the part of those 56 old white guys.
00:51:00.060 1982.
00:51:01.680 1982 is when Canada did it.
00:51:03.340 We'll certainly look at the European convention on human rights.
00:51:06.160 The European convention on human rights.
00:51:08.420 That's first and foremost.
00:51:09.560 It's one of my favorite conventions on human rights.
00:51:12.060 How many people we just, just kill.
00:51:15.780 And just kick off in the ditches.
00:51:18.040 The piles of dead bodies on the streets every morning.
00:51:20.780 They have to come by and clean up.
00:51:22.300 There's no human rights.
00:51:22.880 None.
00:51:23.360 So yes.
00:51:24.600 Why not take advantage.
00:51:25.960 Why not?
00:51:26.500 Of what there is elsewhere in the world.
00:51:30.660 That is unbelievable.
00:51:32.180 That is seriously unbelievable.
00:51:34.320 She said that in 2012.
00:51:36.280 She's still in the Supreme Court in 2018.
00:51:39.020 How is that possible?
00:51:39.940 After saying that.
00:51:40.620 I don't know.
00:51:40.940 She should have been impeached.
00:51:42.560 You should have impeached her right after that speech.
00:51:47.020 Because.
00:51:47.520 Did she ever walk that back though?
00:51:48.820 I mean, did she ever try to.
00:51:49.580 Not that I can remember.
00:51:50.940 Did she ever try to explain that away?
00:51:52.400 Like, oh, we were just hypothetically.
00:51:53.740 I don't think she ever feels the need to walk anything back.
00:51:56.400 Kicking around, you know, constitutions.
00:51:58.640 She's 85 years old.
00:51:59.720 She thinks what she thinks.
00:52:00.920 And I don't think she cares anymore.
00:52:02.200 You know?
00:52:04.220 And it's interesting that she and Scalia were such good friends.
00:52:07.680 I know.
00:52:08.640 Vacations together with their spouses.
00:52:10.580 And, I mean, hung out.
00:52:11.640 And we're apparently close buddies.
00:52:13.500 It's weird to me.
00:52:15.440 All right.
00:52:16.020 John in New York.
00:52:18.160 You're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:52:19.240 Good morning, gentlemen.
00:52:19.920 Good morning.
00:52:20.220 First time father.
00:52:20.760 How you doing?
00:52:21.420 Good.
00:52:22.920 I'm calling in regards to basically a story about my grandfather.
00:52:27.060 Okay.
00:52:27.620 He came over from Italy.
00:52:29.100 I still look at his green card every day.
00:52:32.900 Wow.
00:52:33.380 You look at his green card every day?
00:52:35.260 Every day.
00:52:35.980 I have it in the lockbox, the firebox.
00:52:38.520 Oh.
00:52:38.780 He passed away a few years ago.
00:52:40.180 Okay.
00:52:41.080 So, I was lucky enough to be born in the United States.
00:52:44.000 And very, very good.
00:52:45.820 Mm-hmm.
00:52:46.020 My point being is there's work enough for everybody.
00:52:48.840 Come in the right way.
00:52:50.120 Mm-hmm.
00:52:50.700 He worked at the GE and is connected in New York for 45 years.
00:52:54.900 Got a pension.
00:52:55.660 Got everything.
00:52:56.100 Wow.
00:52:56.700 So, it's not like we're chasing people out.
00:53:00.060 If they come to Ellis Island, they were at your liberty.
00:53:03.920 Yeah.
00:53:04.180 Had all this publicity over the weekend.
00:53:06.520 Yes, it did.
00:53:07.140 His name is on the plaques and everything.
00:53:09.980 His family name is on the plaques and everything down in Ellis Island.
00:53:13.720 So, question.
00:53:15.080 They came in ships by the Groves, right?
00:53:19.140 Mm-hmm.
00:53:19.420 Mm-hmm.
00:53:19.920 So, if they all come the right way.
00:53:24.100 That's not a problem.
00:53:25.000 I don't.
00:53:26.040 It's not a problem, right.
00:53:27.120 Right.
00:53:27.380 I think we're all in agreement on that.
00:53:29.220 Thanks, John.
00:53:29.740 Appreciate it.
00:53:30.460 Here, we're all in agreement on that.
00:53:32.320 I have no problem with that whatsoever.
00:53:34.880 We're advocates of legal immigration.
00:53:37.180 Big immigration advocates just come legally.
00:53:40.380 And we absolutely love legal immigrants because they bring a vitality and hopefully a love for this country.
00:53:48.900 And an excitement that they're here in this land of liberty.
00:53:52.580 And, you know, all of those things that we know from our ancestors, like John was just talking about.
00:53:58.120 It seemed to be a little bit different attitude, though, because I know for my grandmother, who came here from Ireland and spoke Gaelic, she would not allow her children to speak Gaelic.
00:54:08.640 You're in America.
00:54:09.940 You will speak English.
00:54:11.220 Which, that happened to a lot of families.
00:54:14.000 Yeah.
00:54:14.460 Absolutely.
00:54:15.000 They wanted to assimilate.
00:54:17.000 It's a different feeling now.
00:54:18.360 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:54:20.780 And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.
00:54:26.920 And that is the news and why it matters.
00:54:29.760 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.
00:54:33.280 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.
00:54:39.460 The news and why it matters.
00:54:40.600 Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:54:43.120 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:54:50.440 With Pat and Jeffy today.
00:54:52.480 Glenn is back Monday morning.
00:54:53.600 888-727-B-E-C-K.
00:54:58.340 Sometimes it's hard to believe the things that come out of the mouth of the people on MSNBC.
00:55:05.700 The morning cup of Postum with Suzy and Biffy or whatever their names are.
00:55:10.760 I love Suzy and Biffy.
00:55:13.220 Biffy is great.
00:55:14.360 I love him.
00:55:15.580 And really, so is Biffy.
00:55:18.940 If I were to be honest.
00:55:19.760 They're both fantastic.
00:55:20.300 Thank you.
00:55:20.940 I know.
00:55:21.520 That's what I was trying to say.
00:55:22.300 I love him.
00:55:23.060 I love him.
00:55:23.960 I mean, you know what's fun with Joe and Mika is that they used to deny.
00:55:29.180 And they used to get really angry when you insinuated that there was a little something going on between the two of them.
00:55:35.680 Oh, no.
00:55:36.300 Where nothing could be.
00:55:37.160 How dare you say.
00:55:38.740 That is just so wrong of you to infer that.
00:55:41.440 Working with each other.
00:55:42.920 We just got this wonderful work relationship.
00:55:45.720 We're completely businesslike and professional over here.
00:55:48.980 Uh-huh.
00:55:49.360 Now he's trying to make out with her on camera.
00:55:51.760 Right.
00:55:52.940 And I guess they're getting married sometime.
00:55:56.340 I don't.
00:55:56.620 I don't.
00:55:56.980 Nobody knows when.
00:55:58.640 Are they?
00:56:00.020 We'll see.
00:56:00.600 I don't know.
00:56:01.160 I think that was a look.
00:56:03.120 If you guys are going to be busy fooling around in your office every afternoon, at least say you're getting married.
00:56:13.200 Maybe.
00:56:14.000 Maybe that's what's going on.
00:56:15.280 I don't know.
00:56:15.940 Look, if they're happy and they want to get married and spend the rest of their life together, good for them.
00:56:22.080 You know what amazes me, though, is he's always claimed that he's this hardcore conservative.
00:56:29.080 Wait, you said claimed?
00:56:31.800 Well, I mean, and rightly so.
00:56:35.060 Why wouldn't he claim it?
00:56:35.860 Okay, thank you.
00:56:36.460 Since he is so obviously conservative.
00:56:38.800 That's what I'm saying.
00:56:39.300 Listen, yet, listen to this.
00:56:44.220 I wonder, I wonder why.
00:56:45.860 We're going to be talking about that in the next block.
00:56:47.640 I do wonder why people that used to call themselves conservatives, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity, people who used to claim to be Republicans.
00:56:57.080 Is there anything that could come out of his mouth at this point that would make any lick of sense?
00:57:02.020 Oh, my gosh.
00:57:06.020 I can't believe Joe Scarborough is going down this road.
00:57:12.920 But aren't.
00:57:13.940 They're not even close.
00:57:15.000 They're not.
00:57:15.640 I guess they never were.
00:57:17.880 He guesses they never were.
00:57:21.880 Joe Scarborough?
00:57:24.740 Attention, pot.
00:57:28.180 Someone is calling the kettle black.
00:57:30.460 Attention, Mr. Pot.
00:57:33.300 Who's calling the kettle black?
00:57:35.940 That is, I mean, that is unbelievable.
00:57:41.480 No self-awareness at all.
00:57:44.660 No way.
00:57:45.560 No way.
00:57:46.500 Mr. MSNBC, Mr. Jump on every conservative principal and every conservative person and everything that even smacks of Republican.
00:58:00.460 He and Mika have dissected for years now.
00:58:06.340 But Laura Ingram and Sean Hannity are not conservatives and never were?
00:58:12.100 Oh.
00:58:13.080 Okay, thank you.
00:58:14.820 It's good to know.
00:58:16.440 It's fascinating.
00:58:17.620 Also, Pope Francis urging governments to make good on their commitments to curb global warming.
00:58:26.340 That's about time.
00:58:27.260 Yeah, finally.
00:58:28.100 But.
00:58:28.540 Warning that climate change, continued unsustainable development and rampant consumption threatens to turn the earth into a vast pile of rubble, deserts and refuge.
00:58:42.360 How many times have I said almost exactly the same thing?
00:58:46.900 Thank you.
00:58:47.280 Well, never.
00:58:47.920 It's never happened.
00:58:48.780 But still.
00:58:50.520 He made the appeal at a Vatican conference, marking the third anniversary of his landmark environmental encyclical, Praise B.
00:58:57.980 The document meant to spur action at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, called for a paradigm shift in humanity's relationship with Mother Nature.
00:59:09.140 There is real danger that we will leave future generations only rubble, deserts and refuge.
00:59:16.320 Thank you.
00:59:17.020 But the Paris Accord, I guess, is going to fix that because, why, that could lower the temperature by something like 0.05 degrees over the next 50 years.
00:59:27.400 Seriously.
00:59:28.140 I mean, the Paris Accord does nothing.
00:59:31.340 It doesn't fix it.
00:59:32.180 And they admitted it doesn't fix it.
00:59:34.120 Even if everybody abided by it, even if the United States stayed in it, and we all abided by the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, it still doesn't, it wouldn't avoid the catastrophe they're claiming is coming.
00:59:49.520 Oh, just, this global warming thing is agonizing.
00:59:52.620 I'm glad I could stop my letter writing to the Pope, though.
00:59:54.640 He's finally taking care of it.
00:59:56.860 Have you been trying to get him on the global warming bandwagon?
00:59:59.080 I was sending letters to the Vatican.
01:00:00.760 Pope, get on this.
01:00:02.340 I don't know if you're aware of this.
01:00:03.480 He's been on it for a long time.
01:00:05.980 Maybe he was just reading your mind, Jeffy, because I think he's been on it for a while.
01:00:11.380 Charles in Texas, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:00:14.060 Hi.
01:00:15.260 Morning, guys.
01:00:16.240 Last time caller, just so you know.
01:00:19.380 Okay.
01:00:19.780 Good, good.
01:00:20.940 Are you losing your phone, or you just decided you don't want to speak into it anymore?
01:00:26.180 Why is that happening?
01:00:29.360 What's happening?
01:00:30.320 You getting an echo?
01:00:31.020 You said you were a last time caller, didn't you?
01:00:34.820 No.
01:00:35.340 Yeah.
01:00:35.980 Okay.
01:00:36.580 All right.
01:00:37.600 Go ahead.
01:00:38.780 Two simple requests.
01:00:40.520 One, quit playing recordings of Ruth Ginsburg.
01:00:44.200 It really makes me hot.
01:00:46.900 And I've got to get to the office, and now I've got to air out or something, take another shower.
01:00:52.200 Yeah.
01:00:52.760 Yeah.
01:00:52.960 The other is, with our great American actors, I mean, where would they be today, transgenders?
01:01:01.180 If they hadn't been for great transgender actors, like Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze?
01:01:08.160 Yeah.
01:01:08.500 With Manchu and all that stuff.
01:01:10.460 Right.
01:01:11.640 Right.
01:01:11.960 I mean, the day before that, back in the 50s and 60s, our greatest American Indian actors
01:01:17.260 would have been, you know, Charles Bronson, Chuck Connors.
01:01:20.960 Yeah.
01:01:21.460 I mean, we wouldn't know anything about Geronimo to Dave if I hadn't been for Chuck Connors.
01:01:25.120 But he left his tribe to get into acting, you know.
01:01:30.360 Yeah, he did.
01:01:31.220 Boy, that was a different time, man.
01:01:32.340 Yes, it was.
01:01:32.700 He couldn't get away with that stuff anymore.
01:01:33.940 No, not even close.
01:01:34.800 Thanks, Charles.
01:01:35.280 Appreciate it.
01:01:35.960 Not even close.
01:01:36.720 James in Texas, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:01:40.680 I had kind of a question tying into both Travis's call earlier about finding jobs and economies
01:01:48.120 and skilled people, but also the immigration debate.
01:01:50.800 I don't really understand fundamentally how Democrats can be against Trump's merit-based
01:01:56.160 approach when a merit-based approach would likely lead to greater amounts of South American
01:02:03.200 immigrants and so on and so forth.
01:02:05.040 And the reason is that I was a business professor.
01:02:09.760 I may go back being a business professor in the future, but I used to tell my students on
01:02:13.720 the first day of class, I'd say, how many of you expect to make, you know, 30,000 right
01:02:18.560 out of college?
01:02:19.000 No one would raise your hand than 40, 50, you know, and above 50, you start seeing hands
01:02:22.640 pop up and I'd be like, well, you know, you're living in fairytale land because you're not
01:02:26.580 going to get that right now.
01:02:27.540 But had you gone and learned to become a welder or learned to plumb or something like that
01:02:33.020 and learned a skill that nobody currently has and is a diminishing resource in our community,
01:02:38.780 you'd be able to demand $78,000, which is like the starting salary of a welder right
01:02:43.700 out of school is $78,000.
01:02:45.320 Well, a marketing person, they start out at 27, you know, and it's because everybody
01:02:50.540 has to now, you know, get a college degree and Democrats are pounding the table, $15
01:02:56.340 an hour minimum wage, everybody gets free college and everything else.
01:02:59.960 Well, then we're never going to have any of those trades learned anymore.
01:03:03.620 You know, it's all about, you know, what do people think and blah, blah, blah.
01:03:07.540 And let's learn how to do, you know, for my case, let's learn how to do creative ads and
01:03:11.360 everything else.
01:03:11.900 And be like, nobody does that anymore.
01:03:14.320 People need something solved.
01:03:16.100 And you don't have that skill.
01:03:17.940 And that's why, you know, you hear so many people from South America, they're hard workers
01:03:22.100 and they come up here and they work their butt off.
01:03:23.660 Well, if we had merit-based approach and they had those skills, they'd be flowing in and
01:03:29.380 having immediate jobs in this economy.
01:03:31.720 But for some reason, they want to have open borders, send everybody to college, and then
01:03:35.340 have this huge skills gap where nobody can take care of themselves.
01:03:38.640 And then we all have to just turn around and lean on the government.
01:03:40.940 Yep.
01:03:41.660 And they encourage all that.
01:03:42.720 Appreciate the call.
01:03:43.300 Thanks, Jim.
01:03:43.600 This is a good point.
01:03:44.300 And they encourage all of that and also encourage them to go to the most expensive schools in
01:03:51.020 the country and then incur this massive debt.
01:03:53.980 That's a must.
01:03:55.060 And then whine and complain about it and how they can't survive afterwards.
01:04:00.280 Well, if you'd gone to a trade school, like James just kind of suggested, you'd come out
01:04:06.160 and make $78,000 a year with an actual skill.
01:04:09.900 And many of those companies that we have talked to and that we know about, I mean, they provide,
01:04:16.720 they will pay you to learn that skill.
01:04:20.300 Yeah.
01:04:20.640 Because they want you to work for them when it's done because they have jobs to do.
01:04:26.320 And it's fascinating to me that you just wouldn't do that.
01:04:30.740 Yeah.
01:04:31.360 I just don't understand it.
01:04:32.360 And in school, they just push, you know, they push sameness.
01:04:37.060 Everybody's got to do the same thing.
01:04:38.260 Everybody's got to go to the same schools.
01:04:40.260 Everybody's got to go to the good schools.
01:04:42.400 And you must go to the university system or you're going to be a failure in life.
01:04:49.020 And that's just hammered into their heads.
01:04:51.580 So that's what they think.
01:04:53.940 And they haven't worked their way through school, many of them, most of them.
01:04:58.540 So they're unprepared for the debt structure that they have afterward.
01:05:03.100 The parents can't afford it a lot of times.
01:05:05.480 They certainly can't.
01:05:06.700 And so they take out loans and they owe $200,000 at the end of it.
01:05:12.280 Well, that was your choice.
01:05:14.920 Yeah.
01:05:15.380 Don't now start whining about it.
01:05:17.500 Like Barack Obama, Barack and Michelle, who complained about debt,
01:05:21.580 even when they were making $5 million a year and had paid off all their debt.
01:05:28.300 I'm sorry.
01:05:29.980 You guys went to, between you, was it three or four Ivy League schools?
01:05:35.560 Of course you've got debt.
01:05:37.080 You've got a little debt.
01:05:38.760 A little debt.
01:05:39.540 It's okay.
01:05:40.560 They went to Columbia.
01:05:41.820 They went to Harvard.
01:05:42.760 Harvard, and then she went somewhere else in there, too, I think.
01:05:48.020 Princeton, maybe.
01:05:49.720 Didn't Michelle go to Princeton?
01:05:51.480 I don't remember.
01:05:52.400 But they went to three, at least three Ivy League schools.
01:05:57.140 Well, you think you got some debt after that?
01:05:59.660 Yeah.
01:05:59.920 What a surprise.
01:06:01.600 What an amazing surprise.
01:06:04.880 I mean, it's going to happen.
01:06:06.900 There's no doubt about it.
01:06:07.920 One of the things that happens also is that without paying, as you go to school,
01:06:16.420 you do lose the idea of that, well, I can stop and start again.
01:06:20.300 You don't have to go straight through.
01:06:23.080 Right.
01:06:24.080 My dad stopped two or three times because he couldn't afford it,
01:06:27.620 raising a family, you know, going to college.
01:06:30.780 Yeah.
01:06:30.940 Then he'd go back until he got the degree.
01:06:33.400 Yeah.
01:06:33.940 I mean, it's amazing.
01:06:34.700 You can do that.
01:06:35.700 It is.
01:06:36.160 The universities allow that to happen.
01:06:38.560 She went to Harvard Law and Princeton.
01:06:40.400 Princeton.
01:06:40.820 I thought it was.
01:06:41.920 Yeah.
01:06:42.200 And then she whined.
01:06:43.700 I ask you, don't we deserve a president who understands what it's like to carry a
01:06:48.460 little loan debt?
01:06:49.440 Who knows that access to an education shouldn't be based on whether your family
01:06:56.460 can afford it, that we need to train our young people and give them opportunities.
01:07:00.680 Don't we deserve that kind of leader?
01:07:04.600 Don't we deserve the kind of leader that has loan debt?
01:07:10.480 Is that what you're asking me?
01:07:12.320 That's exactly what she has to do.
01:07:13.900 And they cheer it wildly.
01:07:15.580 That's exactly what she has to do.
01:07:16.960 What a bizarre situation we find ourselves in.
01:07:19.360 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
01:07:28.080 Well aware.
01:07:30.460 Yes.
01:07:31.520 Earl in Ohio, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:07:34.580 Hi.
01:07:36.060 Yeah.
01:07:36.740 What I was calling about, about probably in the neighborhood of 30 years ago, the United
01:07:43.100 States should have offered Mexico a statehood, because Mexico couldn't even afford to drill
01:07:49.400 a well.
01:07:50.980 And if we'd have done that back then, maybe we wouldn't have near the problems that we've
01:07:56.220 got now.
01:07:56.620 We may have more.
01:07:59.480 Yeah.
01:08:00.060 They could have gone one of two ways.
01:08:01.680 Yeah.
01:08:02.500 Could have been a disaster as well.
01:08:04.480 However, I don't think they would have accepted that.
01:08:08.300 Thanks, Earl.
01:08:08.940 I don't, you know, I think they want to be their own sovereign nation.
01:08:14.740 There was a time when we could have just taken them, and did, in fact, during the Mexican-American
01:08:22.160 War.
01:08:23.400 You colonialist bastard.
01:08:25.420 I mean, we-
01:08:26.420 Of course you bring that up.
01:08:27.900 Of course you do.
01:08:29.260 We sent troops all the way to Mexico City, took over their capital city, and at that time
01:08:35.680 we could have made them-
01:08:36.400 I should have just stayed there.
01:08:37.020 We could have made them another state.
01:08:38.200 We could have stayed.
01:08:39.440 Just made ourselves at home.
01:08:40.680 Here we are.
01:08:41.460 But we chose not to.
01:08:42.520 You belong to us now.
01:08:43.740 In fact, not only did we give them back that territory and said, okay, we're just going
01:08:47.100 to keep, you know, Texas and that region, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah.
01:08:53.280 And you're going to be happy with it.
01:08:54.520 Yeah.
01:08:54.880 And you're going to love it.
01:08:56.260 But not only that, we're going to give you $15 million.
01:09:00.640 Why?
01:09:01.440 We just kicked your butt in a war, and now we're paying you two?
01:09:05.200 It's amazing the things this country does.
01:09:07.560 Yes, it sure is.
01:09:08.240 It's amazing.
01:09:09.660 David in Washington, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:09:12.100 Hi.
01:09:13.280 Hey.
01:09:14.040 You know, going back to the Mexico thing, why don't we put them on the state-sponsored
01:09:18.920 of terror?
01:09:19.660 Because the new president has actually said that he's going to give the drug cartels free
01:09:26.580 reign and then put a travel ban on them.
01:09:29.300 Well, I don't think he said that he was going to give them free reign, right?
01:09:31.800 He just said he was going to make it work, which meant do nothing, obviously.
01:09:38.840 But I don't think he actually hasn't said that.
01:09:40.680 I don't think the words he chose were free reign.
01:09:43.940 No.
01:09:44.080 That would have prompted some feedback, I think.
01:09:48.480 Yes.
01:09:49.240 Thanks, David.
01:09:49.920 That would have maybe helped along that whole territory.
01:09:51.420 Yeah, I missed the free reign speech.
01:09:53.240 Yes, I did too.
01:09:56.380 Although he did say some interesting things about immigration.
01:09:59.600 He's right in the sense that that's really what it meant.
01:10:02.700 Yeah.
01:10:03.220 You know, no question.
01:10:04.660 Well, he wants to live.
01:10:06.860 Look at all of the people that's killed in the last nine months.
01:10:10.760 That's right.
01:10:11.600 That's right.
01:10:12.200 We love to live.
01:10:12.980 That's a great...
01:10:13.700 Of course he does.
01:10:14.420 It's dangerous to cross the drug cartels in Mexico.
01:10:20.380 Glenn Beck.
01:10:22.140 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:10:25.200 Coming up right after this, immediately following this program on TheBlazeRadio.com and TheBlazeTV.com.
01:10:31.300 We don't just go off the air?
01:10:32.600 No.
01:10:33.140 You can check out this special edition of my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, on The Blaze Radio and The Blaze TV.
01:10:39.240 Did a special show a while ago.
01:10:41.580 But The Blaze got talent, and so people called in from all over the country with their special talents.
01:10:46.800 It's really good.
01:10:48.040 It's really fun.
01:10:48.420 It's a fun show.
01:10:49.460 If you heard it the first time, you'll want to hear it again.
01:10:52.440 And if you haven't heard it, you need to listen to it.
01:10:54.000 Here's your big chance.
01:10:54.960 It was really good.
01:10:56.800 And you'll see just other people, other fellow listeners that have talent just like you.
01:11:02.480 Yes.
01:11:03.240 Right.
01:11:05.720 There's a big heat wave going on in Europe right now.
01:11:09.120 And apparently, this was the other day in Greece.
01:11:19.280 Passengers were on a flight, and they were not allowed to get off the flight.
01:11:25.980 You know, they were stuck on the tarmac.
01:11:27.820 Yeah, yeah, on the tarmac, which...
01:11:28.820 This drives me nuts.
01:11:29.780 Me too.
01:11:30.800 Let them off the plane.
01:11:31.820 Don't get me started.
01:11:32.620 Let them off the plane.
01:11:34.820 But they stayed there for three hours in this unbearable heat with no air conditioning.
01:11:38.440 See, that should be a crime.
01:11:41.100 Uh-huh.
01:11:41.700 That should be a crime.
01:11:42.780 Yes, it should.
01:11:44.000 And I don't know why...
01:11:46.060 When they know what's going to happen...
01:11:48.220 You know, you had that flight a couple of years ago with the...
01:11:51.520 It was maybe 10 years ago now, so it's more than a couple.
01:11:54.520 But it was that JetBlue flight that they were stuck on the tarmac for 11 hours.
01:11:59.580 And, in fact, the CEO of JetBlue lost his job over that.
01:12:04.160 Good.
01:12:05.160 But in this particular case, they were stuck on the plane for three hours.
01:12:11.180 People were passing out.
01:12:13.020 Others were vomiting because it was so hot.
01:12:15.560 And they just...
01:12:16.060 They won't let them get off the plane.
01:12:17.880 I don't understand that.
01:12:19.380 I would probably be arrested.
01:12:21.140 I know I would be.
01:12:22.400 Because if I'm there with my kids or, you know, my wife and my kids or grandkids or whatever
01:12:26.640 and we're stuck on a plane, I'm going to get a little testy.
01:12:29.460 Yes.
01:12:29.760 I know I would be arrested.
01:12:30.580 And you get testy on a plane, you'll be arrested.
01:12:32.480 Yeah, it doesn't matter.
01:12:33.240 And you could...
01:12:34.360 In today's world, you don't even have to get tested.
01:12:36.320 You just have to make the flight attendant mad.
01:12:39.360 Yeah.
01:12:40.100 Right.
01:12:40.580 That's right.
01:12:41.340 With some kind of attitude and they could throw you in jail.
01:12:42.940 They said the temperature in the plane rose to 48 degrees Celsius, which...
01:12:48.920 No, how do we even know what...
01:12:50.000 We don't.
01:12:51.020 There's no way to know.
01:12:53.380 When you use metric measurements...
01:12:56.160 Are they passing out because it was so cold or so hot?
01:12:58.100 You started telling me that it was so hot, but...
01:13:00.460 There's no way to tell how...
01:13:02.680 It could have been 15 below or 1,500 degrees.
01:13:06.900 I don't know.
01:13:07.700 I mean...
01:13:08.440 What is 48...
01:13:08.940 Do they need a blanket or do they need air conditioning?
01:13:11.280 I don't know what the...
01:13:12.420 Okay.
01:13:12.720 48 Celsius is 118 degrees.
01:13:16.200 Now, if you're on a plane and you're in the back of the plane and it's 118 degrees...
01:13:21.280 Come on now.
01:13:22.200 Come on.
01:13:22.760 You've got to let them have some air and get outside.
01:13:26.000 Yes.
01:13:27.320 You know, sometimes somebody's going to have a heart attack and die on one of these
01:13:31.080 stranded planes on the tarmac and you're going to wish you just maybe had some people
01:13:36.680 come out and safely, you know, accompany them back to the terminal.
01:13:41.420 Yes.
01:13:41.580 Why can't you do that?
01:13:43.840 I just don't understand it.
01:13:46.480 But you've got this heat wave and then in Europe and it's so hot, apparently.
01:13:53.540 How hot is it?
01:13:54.300 It is so hot that trucks are melting into the road.
01:13:59.400 They have this bin lorry, a garbage truck.
01:14:13.040 You know, they don't understand what to call things in England.
01:14:18.420 Have you ever noticed that?
01:14:19.900 This is grease though, right?
01:14:20.860 A bathroom is a loo and a garbage truck is a bin lorry.
01:14:25.000 No, that's...
01:14:26.360 Come on.
01:14:26.980 What's the matter with you people?
01:14:27.900 You're picking up trash.
01:14:28.600 Have we taught you nothing in the last 242 years?
01:14:31.580 Anyway, it apparently melted into the roadway.
01:14:36.900 Now, it was a heat wave in Britain and Europe is not what a heat wave in Texas is or a heat
01:14:47.880 wave in Florida or anywhere in the Midwest.
01:14:51.120 Because you know how hot it was when the truck supposedly melted into the roadway?
01:14:58.460 86 degrees.
01:14:59.960 Oh my gosh.
01:15:01.540 86?
01:15:02.440 We do 86 then.
01:15:03.240 That's a winter day for us.
01:15:05.080 Don't tell me you were having some unbearable heat wave and people are dying when it's 86.
01:15:10.960 I mean, you're actually, I'm going to go back to a Pat Gray line.
01:15:13.560 Have we taught you nothing?
01:15:14.680 Have we taught you nothing?
01:15:16.640 Come on.
01:15:17.060 We know that you're still living in some buildings that were built, you know, before the beginning
01:15:22.480 of time.
01:15:23.380 Yes.
01:15:24.000 So maybe you put in a window air conditioner.
01:15:26.460 Maybe.
01:15:26.820 With an extension cord to the house.
01:15:28.520 I don't know.
01:15:29.080 Well, this does happen from time.
01:15:30.500 And I realize their summers are incredibly moderate.
01:15:33.020 Their summers, like, 70 is their temperature on a daily basis.
01:15:39.020 Whereas here, it's 100.
01:15:41.180 You know, on an average of 18 days during the summer in Dallas, Fort Worth, it reaches 100
01:15:47.260 plus.
01:15:47.880 And there's plenty of cities, I mean, all over America that are hot.
01:15:52.920 Yeah, it's 90 plus every day.
01:15:54.180 Every day.
01:15:54.680 It's 95 plus every day.
01:15:56.900 And it's hot and it's humid.
01:15:58.660 Now, they don't have that problem in Europe.
01:16:00.700 Normally, it's, you know, 65 to 75 there, which is, I can't imagine what that would be
01:16:06.660 like anymore.
01:16:07.480 I just, I would give anything for 65 to 75 degrees in the summertime.
01:16:12.500 You could move there, Pat.
01:16:13.820 I don't know.
01:16:14.240 Summer in Texas has made me hate summer.
01:16:17.720 It does get a tad warm.
01:16:19.660 Yeah.
01:16:20.040 It's unbearable.
01:16:20.780 It does get a tad warm.
01:16:21.700 It's unbearable.
01:16:22.280 I thought, you know, I lived like we talked before where Houston and Tampa are so humid
01:16:28.580 and, you know, you walk outside and it just slams you right into the face, man.
01:16:32.680 I've forgotten how bad Florida was until the last time I went down there.
01:16:37.280 And it was like, oh, it's right.
01:16:39.540 Yeah, it's nasty.
01:16:40.340 Right.
01:16:40.960 I mean, but.
01:16:42.000 But the humidity keeps the temperature from getting above 100.
01:16:44.620 Yeah, it stays.
01:16:45.740 In fact, are you aware that in Tampa, in Tampa, the temperature has never reached 100 degrees?
01:16:53.220 Yeah.
01:16:53.460 You aware of that?
01:16:54.880 For a long time.
01:16:55.760 Not in recorded history.
01:16:57.220 Not since they started keeping records in 1890.
01:17:01.160 It has never hit 100 in Tampa.
01:17:03.680 That's amazing to me.
01:17:04.660 That is amazing.
01:17:05.180 But you get the gulf breezes coming to cool all that stuff down, too.
01:17:08.840 Right.
01:17:09.000 The humidity and the gulf breezes.
01:17:10.620 You know, so, I mean, but when you have, you know, 90 days of 90 degree weather and humid
01:17:19.220 and it feels like 110.
01:17:20.860 100% humidity.
01:17:21.920 Yeah.
01:17:22.200 110?
01:17:22.900 Yeah, 110.
01:17:23.120 Yeah, 110, 109.
01:17:25.320 1010, 109, one or the other.
01:17:27.120 And it becomes tiring.
01:17:31.380 Oh, yeah.
01:17:32.080 It's every day.
01:17:33.320 Yeah.
01:17:33.540 It's just debilitating.
01:17:34.560 It's agonizing.
01:17:35.340 So, I understand that because the temperatures are so moderate, they don't normally have air
01:17:40.700 conditioning in mostly because they don't need it most of the year, you know, and then
01:17:44.400 but about once a year, they get a heat wave and it heats up to 85 or 90.
01:17:49.940 Big deal.
01:17:51.160 Right.
01:17:51.600 But people start dying in that heat.
01:17:53.880 So, here's an idea.
01:17:56.220 Get a window air conditioner.
01:17:57.920 Right.
01:17:58.460 Stick it in your window.
01:18:00.000 Cool off one room and go stay in that room.
01:18:02.320 Stay in that room.
01:18:03.280 How dumb are these Europeans?
01:18:05.540 Have you learned nothing?
01:18:10.280 I mean, it's not that tough, is it?
01:18:12.800 It doesn't seem to be.
01:18:14.740 It really doesn't.
01:18:16.480 Shouldn't be.
01:18:17.200 I guess we're the only country that, you know, realizes that, hey, we can live while it's
01:18:22.120 really hot.
01:18:22.620 We're just going to make machines that make it cold.
01:18:26.160 Okay.
01:18:26.520 I guess so.
01:18:27.280 Yeah.
01:18:27.440 Well, and then that's where we use some energy, obviously, because we're trying to keep ourselves
01:18:35.660 alive in a Texas summer or a Florida summer.
01:18:41.000 It gets out of here, though, man.
01:18:42.100 This is almost like, and I know that there's plenty of places all over the world in the
01:18:47.400 country that gets hot.
01:18:48.660 But since we've lived in Texas, the North Texas here at DFW, it almost feels like this
01:18:53.360 time of year here is winter elsewhere.
01:18:56.840 It is, because you don't want to go outside that much.
01:18:58.600 I end up saying, well, you know, we'll do it in the fall.
01:19:00.800 Right.
01:19:01.960 Right.
01:19:03.600 My family was going to come down for a visit, and we're going to do like a family reunion
01:19:08.180 here.
01:19:09.000 And I'm saying, well, let's do it in August.
01:19:11.360 Yeah.
01:19:12.180 And none of them would come in August.
01:19:14.100 They're like, nope.
01:19:15.640 We're not coming to the Texas heat in August.
01:19:17.860 All right, you babies.
01:19:19.620 August is starting to cool down a little bit.
01:19:21.220 No problem.
01:19:21.600 You got it.
01:19:22.620 It'll be like the 89 at night.
01:19:25.100 Oh, yeah.
01:19:26.020 89, 90, 91.
01:19:27.600 With a cool breeze, you're fine.
01:19:29.220 Uh-huh.
01:19:30.240 And during the day, it's only like 104, 105.
01:19:33.180 Oh, that's not bad at all.
01:19:34.840 That's not bad.
01:19:38.440 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.
01:19:43.600 We've been talking about several things, including the fact that President Trump has supposedly
01:19:49.120 narrowed the list for potential Supreme Court nominees.
01:19:53.520 I'm going to get his exact wording here.
01:19:56.640 Because, yeah, here's what he said.
01:20:00.440 I think I have it down to four people.
01:20:02.600 Okay, good.
01:20:03.100 And I think of the four people, I have it down to three or two.
01:20:08.640 Amen.
01:20:10.380 Amen.
01:20:12.380 Then he says, I think they're all outstanding.
01:20:15.560 I don't want to say the four, meaning their names, but I have it down to four.
01:20:22.300 I'll have a decision made in my mind by Sunday.
01:20:25.200 We'll announce it on Monday.
01:20:26.920 So that's what he said in Great Falls, Montana yesterday.
01:20:30.080 Thankfully, he didn't go to the mean streets of Helena.
01:20:32.440 Yeah, because I don't even, you don't want the Secret Service to have to worry about that.
01:20:38.120 I mean, that's too dangerous a trip for him.
01:20:40.280 I actually thought about that yesterday when I saw that he was going to be in Montana.
01:20:43.340 No, he wasn't on the mean streets of Helena.
01:20:45.140 Wow, that's a dangerous ground, even for Donald Trump, right?
01:20:50.240 Yes.
01:20:51.180 Yeah.
01:20:51.440 So he's trying to get rid of John Tester, Senator John Tester in Montana.
01:21:00.440 Again, there's no reason for Montana, which is a red state.
01:21:04.560 He's the Democrat senator from there.
01:21:05.960 Yeah, to have a Democrat senator.
01:21:07.800 But they do on a fairly regular basis.
01:21:10.160 I mean, they had Max Baucus for years, and that guy became very liberal over time.
01:21:15.080 Started out pretty moderate, but became liberal.
01:21:17.780 And now they've got John Tester.
01:21:19.320 Why?
01:21:19.820 Stop it.
01:21:21.620 Stop it.
01:21:22.400 So hopefully Trump will have some impact there in that particular election.
01:21:26.640 888-727-BECK.
01:21:28.400 Luke in Pennsylvania.
01:21:29.820 You're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:21:31.220 Hey, how are you guys doing?
01:21:32.320 Doing good.
01:21:34.440 Your heat thing.
01:21:35.420 It's 90 and flooding up here, so you guys aren't missing out on much up in this part of the world, too.
01:21:39.460 Okay.
01:21:40.840 When I was calling in, millennials taking a lot of shots today.
01:21:43.960 And as one of them, I kind of want to call in and just defend us for a second.
01:21:48.220 Okay.
01:21:49.380 We take a lot of shots for being the trophy generation.
01:21:51.940 Everybody needs a trophy.
01:21:52.960 Yeah.
01:21:53.220 I don't really remember at 12 years old being able to afford trophies for the whole team.
01:21:58.240 So I just want to just throw that out there.
01:22:00.040 I do.
01:22:00.340 Okay.
01:22:00.680 That we weren't really made.
01:22:03.060 I'd have to put a lot on the adult age for making us this way.
01:22:06.320 Well, yeah.
01:22:06.980 Put a little bit of love on that.
01:22:08.580 Oh, it was our fault.
01:22:09.200 No question.
01:22:10.260 Yes.
01:22:10.760 It was our fault.
01:22:11.800 It was.
01:22:12.220 But as a millennial, I will take blame.
01:22:14.180 I try not to defend my entire generation because you guys probably wouldn't defend everybody in your generation as well.
01:22:20.320 Right.
01:22:20.920 But we got some hard workers out there, man.
01:22:23.080 I mean, there's a lot of us that grind every day.
01:22:25.220 Yeah, I know.
01:22:25.740 And look for opportunities.
01:22:26.920 Yeah.
01:22:27.860 No, I believe it.
01:22:28.600 I just want to call in and just, we're not all that people that you, we keep getting lit on.
01:22:33.220 Thanks for that reminder, Luke.
01:22:36.520 Appreciate it.
01:22:37.020 We do know that.
01:22:38.020 Yes, we do.
01:22:38.760 And we do know who's responsible for the millennials who are that way, who are the participation trophy generation and that mindset.
01:22:48.880 We know what happened there.
01:22:50.220 It was their parents.
01:22:51.800 Yeah.
01:22:52.380 It was their teachers.
01:22:53.600 It was their school system.
01:22:55.460 And that was all run by adults.
01:22:57.680 And that was many people saying, oh, it's all right.
01:23:03.220 It's just the way it is.
01:23:04.700 We don't want anything.
01:23:05.760 We don't want any kind of adversity to enter their lives until they're, I don't know, 30.
01:23:12.320 And then they won't know how to handle it.
01:23:14.560 I mean, that, unfortunately, that wasn't the mindset.
01:23:17.800 No.
01:23:18.040 It should have been the mindset.
01:23:19.280 Well, they won't know how to handle anything if you don't allow any adversity into their lives.
01:23:23.520 If you're giving them participation trophies, if you're changing the grading system for them, if you're dumbing down the curriculum for them, if you tell them that they're special no matter what they do, if you tell them that everything they do is fantastic, if they can't sing a note and you're saying how great they are, they're going to show up on American Idol and embarrass themselves in front of the country.
01:23:45.740 And they do every week.
01:23:48.960 Thinking that they sound good.
01:23:50.580 Yeah.
01:23:50.800 Oh, man.
01:23:51.420 Yeah.
01:23:51.820 It's incredible.
01:23:53.200 It's incredible because they were told.
01:23:55.020 Wow.
01:23:55.580 You are so talented.
01:23:56.780 That is so good.
01:23:56.980 And we all got a big kick out of Simon Cowell being the guy to take everybody by the helm and say, no.
01:24:03.480 Nope.
01:24:04.040 No.
01:24:04.820 That was atrocious.
01:24:07.240 Somebody should have said that to him.
01:24:09.120 Has anyone in your life ever tell you this before?
01:24:12.180 Yeah.
01:24:12.480 No.
01:24:12.760 I mean, it's amazing, isn't it?
01:24:15.020 Every year you see that on America's Got Talent or American Idol, all of these talent shows.
01:24:22.300 You see that they've been coddled their whole life.
01:24:24.480 They've been told they're really good.
01:24:26.220 Now, I think some of them are there just to goof on people.
01:24:28.740 Oh, absolutely.
01:24:29.460 Some of them know they're not good.
01:24:31.060 But there are those who have been told their whole lives they really are good and they think they are.
01:24:34.500 And there have been several that have been proven that are, you know, radio morning show hoaxes.
01:24:40.620 Uh-huh.
01:24:41.200 You know, those kind of bits.
01:24:42.100 We got all that.
01:24:42.800 But there are some legitimate millennials who think they're great when they suck.
01:24:49.100 888-727-BECK.
01:24:52.380 More Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program coming up.
01:24:58.180 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.
01:25:00.620 Are there?
01:25:01.260 There's a couple of new job openings if you're a millennial or a Gen Z looking for a job.
01:25:07.100 Looking for work.
01:25:08.240 Listen, there's an employee that was just fired at Starbucks in Philadelphia.
01:25:14.400 So, Starbucks in Philadelphia.
01:25:15.500 Yes, another one.
01:25:15.960 Are they paying, what do you make, $150,000 or so to start?
01:25:19.200 I'm not sure what the salary is at Starbucks in Philadelphia.
01:25:22.380 With transportation, like a free car provided and keys to your new mansion.
01:25:28.800 Here's the deal.
01:25:29.500 Okay.
01:25:29.840 If you can work out that kind of arrangement with the owner, good for you.
01:25:35.040 Good for you.
01:25:35.760 Okay.
01:25:36.040 But it's up to you to do it.
01:25:37.100 All right.
01:25:37.400 No problem.
01:25:38.000 Yeah.
01:25:38.120 Why is there an opening there?
01:25:40.720 Well, that particular employee made fun of one of the customers that was stuttering.
01:25:45.940 Wow.
01:25:46.440 Really?
01:25:46.800 Yeah.
01:25:47.220 And wrote it on the cup?
01:25:48.080 Well, yeah.
01:25:48.600 And repeated it back.
01:25:50.620 And repeated it back like he said that his name was Sam, only stuttered it.
01:25:54.880 So, she repeated it back.
01:25:56.000 Oh, okay.
01:25:56.380 Thanks, Sam.
01:25:57.600 Oh, my gosh.
01:25:58.540 And then wrote SSSAM on the cup.
01:26:01.360 You know, because Starbucks, I know you don't drink coffee, but Starbucks, when you go there
01:26:05.960 to order something, your name, I never tell them my name.
01:26:09.340 I always give them another name.
01:26:10.900 Oh, you do?
01:26:11.500 Always.
01:26:12.480 Why?
01:26:12.700 Always.
01:26:13.240 Just because it makes me smile.
01:26:15.180 Okay.
01:26:15.860 Lloyd, Henry, Harvey, whatever.
01:26:20.680 Just something.
01:26:21.660 Okay.
01:26:22.100 It just makes me smile.
01:26:23.060 Uh-huh.
01:26:23.540 But, yeah.
01:26:24.560 So, he complained.
01:26:26.900 He complained.
01:26:27.520 He wrote a big Facebook post to Starbucks, and it was complaining to Starbucks.
01:26:33.620 Was she mocking, or did she think he was kidding?
01:26:36.280 See, I, I, because of the fact that they don't say in the story, or they didn't say
01:26:42.340 in the Facebook post complaint that they had an opportunity to say, hey, what are you doing
01:26:48.020 to the barista at the time?
01:26:50.120 You know, they waited until it was all over to be mad.
01:26:53.160 Yeah.
01:26:53.440 Instead of saying, yo, what's the problem?
01:26:57.660 You know, you know better than to be doing that, right?
01:27:00.160 I mean, my friend here stutters, and we're trying to, you know, you know better than to
01:27:03.000 make fun of it.
01:27:03.480 So, if perhaps she's hearing people give her names, this was kind of the way I was
01:27:07.700 looking at it at first, is people are giving her names all day.
01:27:10.520 Mm-hmm.
01:27:11.180 Lloyd, Henry, Harvey, whatever the name is.
01:27:13.600 And so, when you get up there and she hears, this is Sam, she might think, not thinking that
01:27:20.200 it's a stutterer.
01:27:21.280 I mean, I don't, I don't know.
01:27:22.180 I'm just trying to, you know, best case scenario.
01:27:23.860 Yeah, maybe.
01:27:24.640 Maybe.
01:27:25.220 Maybe.
01:27:26.620 But, why not say something there?
01:27:29.140 Why not say something there?
01:27:30.720 Yeah.
01:27:30.920 Now, Starbucks didn't necessarily handle it great either, really, because they, the original
01:27:35.660 Facebook post, they said, oh, hey, sorry, we don't like our employees like that.
01:27:39.820 Here's five bucks.
01:27:41.720 We'll send you a $5 coupon.
01:27:45.360 Wow.
01:27:45.800 So, now that, of course, they've responded and, you know, the fire terminated the employee.
01:27:51.620 And I don't know if they're going to take time off and work, have some other day of education
01:27:58.600 for their employees on how to treat people.
01:28:00.800 I don't know.
01:28:01.680 I don't know what's going to happen.
01:28:03.120 Let's hope so.
01:28:04.540 I mean, thank you.
01:28:06.160 And then there's a place, there's a place in Cincinnati.
01:28:08.180 If you don't want to live in Philly, I get it.
01:28:10.180 You go to work for Dunkin' Donuts in Cincinnati.
01:28:13.260 There's a person, a job opening there.
01:28:16.280 A homeless woman was out front and came inside to buy a cup of coffee.
01:28:21.600 And the employee wrote on the cup, hey, stop hanging out in front of the store if you have
01:28:26.980 a full-time job.
01:28:28.800 Oh, my gosh.
01:28:30.100 Management.
01:28:31.500 And she wrote management on the cup.
01:28:33.640 I know.
01:28:35.380 That's just stupid.
01:28:36.360 I know.
01:28:36.780 That's just stupid.
01:28:37.660 The employee obviously was not a manager.
01:28:40.440 And the person who was the manager and the owner said, no, we do not treat people like
01:28:44.140 that.
01:28:44.400 And you're fired.
01:28:46.000 So I'm guessing that, you know, look, do businesses want homeless people hanging out
01:28:50.680 in front of their businesses all the time?
01:28:51.980 No.
01:28:52.440 Well, yeah, Starbucks does.
01:28:53.460 In fact, they invite them in and have them sit there and use the bathroom and hang out.
01:28:58.200 Do most businesses want that?
01:28:59.900 No.
01:29:00.280 No, they do not.
01:29:00.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:29:08.880 Bananas could go extinct.
01:29:10.860 This is the first I'm hearing of this.
01:29:13.460 Apparently, you've known about this problem.
01:29:14.940 It's been going on for about three or four years now where they've been really battling
01:29:18.100 this illness that the bananas face.
01:29:20.780 And there's only, you know, the bananas that we all love and cherish here in the United States,
01:29:26.900 that's like one breed.
01:29:28.700 You know, they're very there's not a lot of bananas are clones.
01:29:32.860 And so so the disease spreads quickly.
01:29:35.160 And when they well, thank you, Mr.
01:29:37.440 You're welcome.
01:29:37.960 An expert.
01:29:38.780 Just off the top of my head.
01:29:42.220 It's apparently Panama disease, major threat to banana crops around the world.
01:29:48.140 But experts are now saying that a special breed of banana found in Madagascar could hold
01:29:53.360 the key to keeping them alive.
01:29:54.900 Nice.
01:29:55.380 But there's only five known trees in existence.
01:29:59.180 See, big vegetable could go down at any time, man.
01:30:03.460 With a disease hits like that.
01:30:04.860 Well, big vegetable, that's fine.
01:30:06.400 I just don't want big fruit to go down.
01:30:10.960 I mean, we've been creating all this, you know, this great those apples look great to
01:30:14.740 they're big and they're shiny.
01:30:16.020 But one little disease, man, you're back to eating the crappy one laying on the ground
01:30:20.160 like we did for years, years and years.
01:30:22.920 Yeah.
01:30:23.720 I mean, nobody wants to eat the pear that hits the dirt on the ground in the backyard
01:30:27.880 anymore.
01:30:28.300 But those were just as good as they were that they are today.
01:30:32.960 It's I can't believe I haven't heard of this.
01:30:35.360 You've known about this for a while.
01:30:36.640 They've been battling.
01:30:37.540 I haven't heard it.
01:30:38.400 Because it was apparently wreaking havoc with with banana crops in Asia.
01:30:42.000 Three or four years ago, I thought they originally started.
01:30:44.560 That's when they first started noticing it and talking about it.
01:30:46.640 And I thought I thought they were actually I didn't think it was still as bad because I hadn't
01:30:51.420 heard about it and how you brought it up today.
01:30:53.640 And I was like, oh, that's right.
01:30:54.600 They've been talking about that.
01:30:55.560 Yeah.
01:30:55.580 Their word.
01:30:56.100 If it spreads to the United States, if it spreads to America, that could wipe out the
01:31:00.260 entire world supply of bananas.
01:31:01.920 Think of that.
01:31:02.480 Can you imagine that?
01:31:03.980 I love bananas.
01:31:05.340 Think of that.
01:31:05.740 You have to start growing your own.
01:31:06.800 Bananas are tough.
01:31:07.600 You know, you ever, you know, in Houston, we had a banana tree.
01:31:10.460 I have to.
01:31:11.080 I had it in Florida before.
01:31:12.040 They didn't taste good, but we had one.
01:31:13.500 Well, they aren't the cloned bananas that you're used to.
01:31:16.480 That's what I'm saying.
01:31:17.600 Yeah.
01:31:17.700 Did you grow the little teeny ones?
01:31:19.100 Yeah.
01:31:19.500 Yeah.
01:31:20.400 Yeah.
01:31:20.640 And you can't kill that banana tree.
01:31:22.320 I mean, I don't know what kind of disease would wipe.
01:31:24.520 I tried to wipe that thing out.
01:31:26.740 It grew so fast and so big that, I mean, we were continually cutting it down to the down
01:31:35.480 to the ground.
01:31:36.220 We had a we had a banana tree and we also had there was a couple of plants along the
01:31:39.580 side of our house that I about killed the kids in my neighborhood for playing and chopping
01:31:45.020 all those bushes and beating them all down to the ground and made it look like crap one
01:31:48.540 day.
01:31:48.860 They grew back.
01:31:49.700 Oh, I know.
01:31:50.440 Like in a week, they're back.
01:31:52.780 They're resilient, man.
01:31:53.780 I apologize to the kids.
01:31:54.880 I'm sorry.
01:31:56.620 I'm sorry, man.
01:31:57.380 Just don't be doing that thing in my bushes, but they're fine.
01:31:59.240 Don't worry about it.
01:31:59.860 So it must be, I mean, the bananas that we actually eat and the bananas that are grown
01:32:04.820 and you see at the grocery store, there must be a different variety because the bananas
01:32:10.040 I had in Houston were incredibly resilient.
01:32:14.100 You couldn't kill them, but I wish we would have gotten Panama disease, but they also didn't
01:32:20.940 have the taste.
01:32:22.080 No, that's right.
01:32:22.860 Have the they didn't have the drive that we love.
01:32:24.800 Right.
01:32:25.120 Yeah.
01:32:25.300 So the ones that we can't kill and we don't really want to eat.
01:32:28.460 Don't want to eat them.
01:32:29.160 Yeah.
01:32:29.780 No.
01:32:30.260 So that's why we have the cloned ones, right?
01:32:31.740 They've made these clones.
01:32:33.620 They're like, oh, people eat these.
01:32:34.920 These are great.
01:32:35.440 They get ripe.
01:32:35.980 They're good.
01:32:36.360 We're good to go.
01:32:36.900 OK, great disease.
01:32:38.880 Yep.
01:32:39.240 That's the way it goes, I guess.
01:32:42.540 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.
01:32:45.320 Ron in Germany.
01:32:47.680 You're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:32:49.020 Hi.
01:32:50.060 Yeah.
01:32:50.460 Hey, just wanted to tell you when you was talking about air conditioning over here in
01:32:54.860 Europe, private households don't have it because the cost of electricity is through the roof
01:33:02.000 because of the green energy programs.
01:33:04.440 Oh, my gosh.
01:33:05.120 Really?
01:33:05.540 That certainly makes sense.
01:33:06.580 Yeah.
01:33:06.800 Oh, that's agonizing.
01:33:08.880 Heating oil for my main heating in the winter.
01:33:11.640 Oh, wow.
01:33:12.460 Yeah.
01:33:13.060 The heater doesn't use electricity.
01:33:16.020 And my monthly electricity bill is 120 euros, which equates to about $143 a month.
01:33:24.960 Mm-hmm.
01:33:25.540 And you don't even use it.
01:33:27.580 Yeah.
01:33:28.820 Amazing.
01:33:29.180 First of all, they have different types of windows over here.
01:33:31.560 They don't sell window units, but they do sell mobile units, and you've got to run the exhaust
01:33:36.260 hose out a door or out the window.
01:33:39.640 Really?
01:33:41.140 Wow.
01:33:41.740 That is...
01:33:42.360 Yeah.
01:33:42.800 Your temperatures were a little wrong there.
01:33:45.900 The highs have been in the hundreds for the last seven or eight years, but typically
01:33:53.100 our summers are in the 80s and 90s.
01:33:55.720 80s and 90s.
01:33:56.720 All right.
01:33:57.180 Really?
01:33:57.680 Just not that humid.
01:33:59.200 Okay.
01:34:00.260 Because I don't think that's the case in Britain, though.
01:34:03.180 I think...
01:34:04.020 Oh, no, no, no.
01:34:04.880 Yeah.
01:34:05.100 It's a little bit cooler, yeah.
01:34:06.260 Yeah.
01:34:06.780 Yeah.
01:34:07.000 So, yeah, that's where we were generally talking about the temperatures being in the 65 to
01:34:12.900 75 range.
01:34:14.180 And then they start whining and complaining when it's 86 degrees.
01:34:18.360 You know, get a grip.
01:34:19.140 So, Ron, have you actually, in your life, ever seen a garbage truck melted to the road in
01:34:24.800 Germany because it was so hot?
01:34:27.180 No.
01:34:29.680 What are you doing in Germany?
01:34:31.020 You in the military, or...?
01:34:32.540 Yeah, I talked to you on your own show once, but no, I'm retired military, but stayed here
01:34:38.380 after I got out.
01:34:39.260 Okay.
01:34:39.680 So, you must like it over there, huh?
01:34:41.980 Eh, put it this way.
01:34:44.060 I still got the blue passport.
01:34:45.620 I'm an American citizen.
01:34:46.820 I'm just a legal resident over here.
01:34:49.160 So, I'm enjoying the best of both worlds.
01:34:52.020 Okay.
01:34:52.800 Nice.
01:34:53.300 All right.
01:34:53.720 Well, thanks for calling.
01:34:54.480 Appreciate it.
01:34:55.200 Nice.
01:34:55.420 Be safe.
01:34:56.060 Yeah.
01:34:57.020 Phil in South Carolina.
01:34:58.600 You're on the Glenn Beck program.
01:34:59.900 Hi.
01:35:00.640 Hey, great to talk to you.
01:35:01.980 You too.
01:35:02.540 I believe I have a cheap and immediate fix for the illegal immigration problem, and we
01:35:10.760 don't even need a border wall.
01:35:12.260 Oh, nice.
01:35:13.560 Well, anywhere in the world, our embassies are considered U.S. property.
01:35:17.760 So, we just expand our embassy in Mexico by a couple hundred acres.
01:35:21.940 Every time someone comes across the border, we bus them right down there for processing.
01:35:26.960 If they have a legitimate claim to come in, we bring them into the United States.
01:35:30.580 In the meantime, the children are kept with their parents.
01:35:34.380 There's no fence, because they're free to leave any time they want.
01:35:37.660 We put up the same kind of tents they have where they're holding them now with air conditioning
01:35:42.600 and beds.
01:35:43.280 We feed them, treat them humanely, and if they have a legitimate complaint, fine.
01:35:48.500 But everyone is kept at the embassy in Mexico.
01:35:51.140 And I think you'll find that after a while, if they're not there for a legitimate reason, they're just going to go on home.
01:35:59.420 But that way, we don't have any expense.
01:36:01.360 We don't need a border wall.
01:36:02.720 And everybody's kept together.
01:36:04.940 Hmm.
01:36:05.200 I mean, I kind of like the way that sounds right from the top.
01:36:10.040 There's got to be something that will make you stop that.
01:36:15.120 Like, Mexico's not going to let you expand the embassy.
01:36:17.940 All right.
01:36:18.320 If we're going to pay for the land, I think they'd love to have it.
01:36:21.560 And then we don't need a border wall, and Trump doesn't have to make them pay for it.
01:36:24.880 Why don't we need a border wall?
01:36:27.000 Well, because when people find out they're just going to get bused down to our embassy in Mexico,
01:36:32.320 they're less likely to even come across the border to begin with.
01:36:35.380 We'll still have border guards there.
01:36:37.460 We'll round them up.
01:36:38.760 But you don't need the wall, because they're not going to come over in the masses that they're coming over in now.
01:36:44.100 Because now they know if they just get one foot on the ground, they're here.
01:36:48.260 But once they find out, no, I'm just going to get on a bus and go down to Mexico, you know, it's not worth it.
01:36:53.680 We've still got the people sneaking into the country, though.
01:36:55.600 It hasn't stopped them with the separating their families thing.
01:37:00.300 So I don't know that they'll be deterred by going back down to our embassy.
01:37:07.820 It would certainly take thousands of them out of the country right now.
01:37:11.220 Yes, it would.
01:37:12.340 All right.
01:37:12.740 Thanks, Phil.
01:37:13.180 Appreciate it.
01:37:13.760 Hey, he's trying to think of something out of the box to help us out.
01:37:17.420 Yeah.
01:37:17.740 We're going to build a wall.
01:37:18.640 We're going to build a wall, mister.
01:37:20.140 I don't want that wall.
01:37:21.600 I want to see that thing from space.
01:37:24.060 Yeah.
01:37:24.300 We want a wall so high you can see it from the moon.
01:37:27.520 That's what I want.
01:37:29.680 With a closed sign on it.
01:37:31.760 WL in Denton?
01:37:34.460 Yes, sir.
01:37:34.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:37:36.100 Hi.
01:37:36.720 Thank you.
01:37:37.240 Glenn Beck, you're outstanding, you and your crew.
01:37:39.940 And my focus is to be on the airline in this three-hour time out on the tarmac.
01:37:46.780 It's ridiculous.
01:37:47.440 I was an airline pilot for 26 years, started with Western, but a captain with Delta for
01:37:53.360 my last number of years.
01:37:55.660 And astounding.
01:37:56.900 Captain is in command and in charge of his crew.
01:38:00.400 You see some of the things where they pull off the screaming Oriental.
01:38:04.040 And it's kind of like captain sitting over there with his teeth in his mouth.
01:38:07.440 Right.
01:38:07.660 And it's kind of like you're in charge.
01:38:10.420 And as far as this three-hour thing, they've reduced that.
01:38:13.780 It used to be where they could stay out there as long as they want.
01:38:17.180 And a little bit of insight is once you close the front door, the jetway pulls away, you
01:38:24.800 release the brakes, you're on the clock.
01:38:26.680 So these guys are getting paid as if they're flying, being out there on the ramp for three
01:38:30.740 hours.
01:38:31.440 Wow.
01:38:31.880 And that shouldn't happen.
01:38:34.160 Right.
01:38:34.940 Number two, it's your duty.
01:38:37.480 Hey, I was a combat fighter pilot and flew 417 combat missions in Vietnam.
01:38:42.460 And you get the experience where you find where GCA runs the flying safety officer into the
01:38:49.880 ground because the radar controller loses sight on the defect in the screen instead of
01:38:56.800 getting them turned vector to final.
01:38:59.040 So from all those missions, by the way, I just got to get it in.
01:39:02.900 Bernie Fisher is one of my heroes, Mormon, Congressional Medal of Honor, the A-1 landing
01:39:10.300 to pick up a guy down who was astounding.
01:39:14.960 But as far as this thing with the airlines, it's kind of like with the military.
01:39:18.980 I graduated from the Air Force Academy.
01:39:20.640 I'm not a prima donna.
01:39:22.120 I grew up pours dirt, dug ditches and everything else.
01:39:24.760 But it's kind of like duty on a country in the military, same way with service, customer
01:39:30.280 service.
01:39:31.260 Oh, and I was supposed to stick to the point.
01:39:33.660 I want you to replay all that Stetler, Brian, whatever thing.
01:39:39.020 Again, that was astounding.
01:39:40.500 That was so cool.
01:39:41.620 I love that.
01:39:41.880 When you got up and said, I'm out of here.
01:39:44.500 You look great.
01:39:46.080 All right.
01:39:47.000 All right.
01:39:47.780 Thanks, WL.
01:39:49.660 I appreciate it.
01:39:50.500 You covered a lot of territory there.
01:39:53.700 What was the last part?
01:39:54.680 Appreciate it.
01:39:56.020 I wanted you to replay the stuff.
01:39:57.580 Replay which stuff?
01:39:58.760 The stuff that we played so much of.
01:40:00.340 The stuff that he liked.
01:40:03.280 I wasn't sure what stuff he was talking about.
01:40:06.940 No, it was the stuff.
01:40:08.280 Okay.
01:40:08.600 The Hitler stuff, I think.
01:40:09.980 Oh, okay.
01:40:10.800 Is that what it was?
01:40:11.480 I think I don't know.
01:40:12.180 The Hitler stuff.
01:40:12.960 I don't know.
01:40:13.580 We'll replay that.
01:40:14.320 We'll replay that.
01:40:14.880 Yeah.
01:40:15.220 All right.
01:40:15.980 We'll get to that in just a minute here.
01:40:18.180 I appreciate your service, too.
01:40:21.620 Thank you, WL.
01:40:22.560 Absolutely.
01:40:22.880 Thanks for your service to the country.
01:40:23.900 My gosh.
01:40:24.940 And he makes a great point on, look, those pilots and the people in charge, that sitting
01:40:30.260 there with their arms crossed, not doing anything has got-
01:40:32.880 It's unbelievable to me.
01:40:34.120 Absolutely agonizing.
01:40:35.880 Unbelievable.
01:40:36.720 I mean, there's no reason to keep people in that tube when it's 120 degrees in there.
01:40:43.900 Stop it.
01:40:44.540 And you're just sitting there for three hours?
01:40:46.900 Come on now.
01:40:47.480 It's insanity.
01:40:48.700 And you're locked in your little cubby up front.
01:40:51.620 It's all good.
01:40:52.560 Right.
01:40:53.560 No.
01:40:54.280 Ridiculous.
01:40:55.220 888-727-BECK.
01:41:01.620 We're talking about the heat in Europe.
01:41:04.060 Apparently, Southern Cal is about to get some potentially dangerous heat.
01:41:09.960 Oh, no.
01:41:10.840 Oh, no.
01:41:11.140 Forecast is predicted would send the temperature soaring to record levels and create conditions
01:41:16.840 that could spread wildfires, which is frightening.
01:41:18.600 I hope we don't lose any garbage trucks melted to roads around there.
01:41:20.740 Me too.
01:41:21.360 Me too.
01:41:21.940 According to meteorologist Alex Tardy, he says we could shatter, shatter some records.
01:41:30.020 San Diego County community of El Cajon, for example, was forecast to hit 43.3 degrees Celsius.
01:41:39.280 Well, nobody knows how hot that is.
01:41:42.400 It could be 18 below.
01:41:44.620 It could be 400 degrees above.
01:41:46.360 I don't know.
01:41:47.840 What is that?
01:41:49.320 There's no way to tell.
01:41:50.340 I feel like all these weather stories now.
01:41:51.780 They're trying to jam this stuff down our throats.
01:41:53.420 They continually are starting to use the metric system all the time.
01:41:56.740 They're trying the metric thing again.
01:41:58.080 They're forcing it down my throat.
01:41:59.500 You've noticed that, too.
01:42:00.180 Every story.
01:42:00.560 Yes.
01:42:01.220 It's really getting annoying.
01:42:02.820 Now, it's 110 degrees in San Diego, and they're not used to that.
01:42:08.120 No.
01:42:08.440 It's 72 and perfect every day, so they're getting just a little taste of Texas weather.
01:42:16.340 Almost say, if it weren't for dangerous heat, you'd almost say, welcome to our nightmare.
01:42:23.560 So, not only do they have the Celsius reading here of 43.3, then they say breaking waves
01:42:32.080 could reach three meters on some beaches.
01:42:34.980 What?
01:42:35.420 See.
01:42:36.260 Is that 800 feet high, or is it five inches?
01:42:39.620 I don't know.
01:42:40.240 We don't know.
01:42:40.360 There's no way to tell, because it's metric, and that's not what we do in this country.
01:42:44.480 We said no to that.
01:42:45.560 Oh, we rejected this a long time ago.
01:42:47.020 That's websites trying to appeal to people looking at their stories all over the world.
01:42:52.000 You know what?
01:42:52.500 Make them read feet and inches.
01:42:55.300 Yes.
01:42:56.460 If they live in another country, let them figure it out.
01:42:59.340 Right.
01:42:59.700 We said no.
01:43:01.820 Let them Google it and convert feet.
01:43:04.980 Thank you.
01:43:05.760 To meters, or whatever metric thing they use.
01:43:09.380 Or, I don't know, learn it.
01:43:10.760 Learn it.
01:43:12.100 I don't want to hear about kilometers.
01:43:14.420 I want miles.
01:43:16.060 Pissing me off, man.
01:43:17.180 I don't want to see any Celsius.
01:43:18.500 I want Fahrenheit.
01:43:19.200 More and more stories just continue to throw it in my face.
01:43:23.120 I've noticed that, too.
01:43:24.160 It's starting to tick me off.
01:43:24.620 I've noticed that, too.
01:43:25.700 And it's got to stop.
01:43:26.800 Yes.
01:43:27.280 That has to be a...
01:43:28.700 We've got to stop.
01:43:29.680 Somebody's got to bring that to President Trump's attention.
01:43:32.560 Somebody has to bring that to President Trump's attention.
01:43:35.000 He's got to take care of this.
01:43:36.720 It might be the most pressing issue facing the United States of America today.
01:43:41.320 Supreme Court thing.
01:43:42.300 Whatever.
01:43:42.840 I don't care about the EPA thing.
01:43:44.060 No.
01:43:44.440 Stop the metric thing.
01:43:45.280 This is got to be taken care of.
01:43:46.640 Stop the metric system now.
01:43:51.280 You remember What's-His-Face, who, during his campaign, promised...
01:43:55.920 Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:43:56.400 To the metrics, right?
01:43:57.180 What was that guy's name?
01:43:58.200 Oh, man.
01:43:58.920 It was up in Massachusetts, Maine.
01:44:01.700 Not Massachusetts.
01:44:03.180 Northeast, though.
01:44:03.980 Vermont.
01:44:04.660 Northeast.
01:44:05.260 New Hampshire.
01:44:06.360 I can remember who that guy was.
01:44:07.080 Oh, it was Chafee.
01:44:08.460 Oh, yeah.
01:44:08.760 Chafee is.
01:44:10.040 Yeah.
01:44:10.340 Chafee.
01:44:10.680 Well, you're looking for Chafee.
01:44:13.140 I'm just telling you to remember to listen to the Pat Gray program coming up right after
01:44:16.580 this program on the Blaze television and the Blaze radio network.
01:44:20.540 Right.
