The Glenn Beck Program - 'It's All Been Done Before'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:09.960 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:16.380 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:19.180 Hopefully he'll be well enough to be back on Monday morning.

00:00:23.580 As we continue to deal with the aftermath of the tragedy the other day in Florida,

00:00:28.780 the school shooting that killed 17 kids, just horrific.

00:00:32.800 And the fallout this time I think has been even worse than I anticipated.

00:00:38.600 The gun control push this time feels even heavier than it was before.

00:00:49.240 They're demanding that Donald Trump do something about this.

00:00:52.400 I'm not sure what the President of the United States can do about this.

00:00:55.920 He can't unilaterally do anything about gun control.

00:01:02.160 What do you want him to do?

00:01:03.760 In New York Post headline yesterday was,

00:01:05.860 Mr. President, it's time to do something with guns.

00:01:10.200 Okay.

00:01:11.000 What do you want him to do?

00:01:12.400 Well, they kind of name a few things they want him to do.

00:01:16.240 They want him to ban assault weapons, of course.

00:01:19.260 Things like the AR-15.

00:01:20.860 That's been done before.

00:01:21.820 Yeah, this is an interesting one.

00:01:23.560 Not just in some far-flung nation.

00:01:26.160 It's been done in this country.

00:01:27.800 Here.

00:01:28.140 In the 90s.

00:01:28.940 And the Department of Justice released a report on the results.

00:01:31.540 And it said it did not reduce the murder rate at all.

00:01:35.060 So it was completely ineffective.

00:01:37.780 It did absolutely nothing.

00:01:40.440 Nothing.

00:01:41.500 And, you know, that is, there have been other countries who have gone much further

00:01:45.080 and received a big fat zilch for their efforts.

00:01:47.760 But this was here in the United States.

00:01:49.920 No effect from the Department of Justice.

00:01:52.920 Yet they still claim this is the number one thing they want to do.

00:01:56.900 Yeah.

00:01:57.380 So reinstate the federal assault weapons ban, which did absolutely nothing.

00:02:01.120 And, of course, then they want to prohibit the manufacture of semi-automatic firearms completely.

00:02:10.560 Oh, you mean so basically every gun that is sold.

00:02:14.140 Yeah, I mean.

00:02:14.660 They just want to get rid of those.

00:02:15.980 Wow.

00:02:16.840 That's amazing.

00:02:17.620 I mean, that's further reaching than most proposals go.

00:02:22.560 By the way, further reaching than any proposal Barack Obama made while in office.

00:02:27.440 So just left of Barack Obama.

00:02:29.480 Well, no, considerably.

00:02:31.320 Not just left.

00:02:32.620 It's considerably left of Barack Obama.

00:02:36.000 Large capacity magazines are also one of the suggestions.

00:02:40.360 We hear that all the time.

00:02:42.060 Raise the age to buy firearms.

00:02:44.960 Most states ban drinking under 21.

00:02:47.120 At 19, apparently, Nicholas Cruz could obviously purchase weapons.

00:02:53.280 Ban gun sales to fugitives from justice.

00:02:57.900 Aren't they already?

00:02:59.480 I mean, we already.

00:03:01.060 Can felons buy guns?

00:03:02.820 I don't think so.

00:03:03.600 And if you're a fugitive from justice, if you've broken the law, I think that's something that's already been done.

00:03:09.900 And, of course, increased background checks.

00:03:12.040 I don't know.

00:03:13.100 We already have background checks.

00:03:15.240 What kind of.

00:03:16.460 And he went through one.

00:03:17.820 Yes.

00:03:18.260 He went through a background check and passed it.

00:03:19.860 You know, I mean, again, you start you start getting to this point where you're just reaching for any time there's an indication of anything.

00:03:28.480 And, you know, there's no way they didn't they didn't know that he had made the social media post when the background check went through.

00:03:34.020 There's no way they would have known that the FBI didn't even know who it was.

00:03:37.260 So they you know, how would they how would they have known it in a in a background check?

00:03:42.760 And there's this thing.

00:03:43.720 I think there's a separation, especially with things like mental health, Pat, where.

00:03:48.320 There's a separation between the left and the right, and we can we can say that, you know, they want to take all of our guns and there are many who do right.

00:03:55.500 I mean, they're proposing semi-automatic weapons.

00:03:57.720 If you got rid of semi-automatic weapons, if you're not a gun person, which I know I was not for most of my life, you might not realize that semi-automatic weapons means basically every gun.

00:04:06.500 I mean, there are a few guns that, you know, there certainly are some that are not semi-automatic.

00:04:10.040 But the very basic standard gun that you would own for self-defense is a semi-automatic, even a handgun, everything, a Glock or whatever.

00:04:18.100 Exactly. That's just what people have.

00:04:19.500 Yeah. But there's a separation where with mental illness where this stuff does come down to a weird disagreement between the left and the right.

00:04:27.180 And I I am sure the right is correct on this, but this is the definition of, I think, the disagreement.

00:04:34.780 The left looks at guns and says they're they can be potentially dangerous.

00:04:40.360 Therefore, we should with any shadow of a doubt, if we have any shadow of a doubt, we should restrict their ownership to people.

00:04:48.300 That's what that's what they think. They think, OK, this could cause harm.

00:04:51.340 Therefore, we should be really careful about who we give them to. Right.

00:04:54.480 Yes.

00:04:54.760 The right, which is the correct argument, says the opposite, which is they may be dangerous or not.

00:05:02.160 However, they're constitutionally guaranteed.

00:05:04.920 So you have to be really super sure the other way before you start taking guns away.

00:05:11.100 And that separation is why, quote unquote, nothing ever gets done when it comes to other things like mental health.

00:05:16.860 And these, you know, when people say, oh, well, terrorists are on a watch list.

00:05:21.100 So how can they get guns?

00:05:22.060 Well, the reason why that doesn't happen is because you can't take away guns from people because they're constitutionally guaranteed.

00:05:31.060 You it is your right to be able to protect yourself.

00:05:33.060 So only after you give up a lot of those rights by being a convicted felon, can you start taking guns away just because someone is suspicious of you in the government.

00:05:43.060 You can't just take them away.

00:05:45.160 Now, you can do all of these things.

00:05:47.580 All you got to do is amend the Constitution.

00:05:49.480 But what if the gun looks really nasty, really dangerous?

00:05:54.140 What if a gun looks super dangerous?

00:05:57.000 You're thinking of the scary clause of the Constitution.

00:05:59.060 Right.

00:05:59.280 And no, there's not one.

00:06:00.580 Yeah.

00:06:01.020 What?

00:06:01.640 Stunningly, there's not a scary clause.

00:06:03.520 There's not?

00:06:04.120 No.

00:06:04.620 No, for the guns.

00:06:05.420 I mean, though, for guns, there's a scary clause.

00:06:07.720 Well, there's a Santa clause, but there's no scary clause.

00:06:09.880 What if they look military style?

00:06:12.140 Yeah, no, it's not a military step.

00:06:13.480 Fact.

00:06:13.920 The opposite is actually.

00:06:15.220 It's funny because people look at this all the time.

00:06:16.820 Joe Scarborough has this endless rant today.

00:06:18.980 I don't know if we're going to bother playing it, and we don't need to get into it right now.

00:06:22.040 But an endless rant about how there's no constitutional right to own military style weapons, assault weapons.

00:06:29.520 That's exactly the constitutional right we have.

00:06:31.640 That's exactly what it is.

00:06:32.220 In fact, the first ruling on this, when they went to ban automatic weapons, and they had

00:06:40.240 a ruling on this, this is back in, I want to say, the 20s or 30s, and they went to, one

00:06:47.320 guy wanted a sawed-off shotgun.

00:06:49.180 He's like, I want a sawed-off shotgun.

00:06:50.360 I don't have the right to own it.

00:06:51.600 And they said, no, you don't have a right to own it because the reason you don't have

00:06:57.380 a right to own it is because it didn't have value in war.

00:07:02.760 You were not allowed to have it because it didn't have a military purpose.

00:07:07.540 And Scarborough's rant, which you may or may not hear during the course of the day, is

00:07:12.160 all about weapons of war.

00:07:14.220 We don't need weapons of war.

00:07:16.240 Weapons of war are not protected.

00:07:18.820 Of course they are, because when the founders were drafting the Bill of Rights, when they

00:07:26.060 were drafting the Second Amendment, their thought was, you know, eventually this government

00:07:32.820 could turn on the people, and they need to be able to protect themselves.

00:07:36.040 Why?

00:07:36.300 Because that's what they just went through.

00:07:38.600 They just went through protecting themselves from the government that was oppressing them

00:07:43.400 in Great Britain.

00:07:44.780 That's how they won.

00:07:46.260 Again, that's why they declared their independence.

00:07:50.880 So the thought process wasn't, hey, you know, people are going to be wanting a gun for deer

00:07:56.800 season.

00:07:58.020 And, you know, there's a lot of hunting and fishing going on in this country.

00:08:02.340 Let's just say they can have some, maybe some hunting rifles, but not anything war grade,

00:08:08.120 not anything military grade.

00:08:10.120 Right.

00:08:10.260 It's not about hunting.

00:08:11.240 It's the exact opposite.

00:08:12.940 It's not about hunting.

00:08:13.920 It's not even about, although it's a definite benefit, it's not even about necessarily protecting

00:08:20.240 yourself in your house.

00:08:21.740 It's about protecting yourself from this government if they ever become that oppressive and tyrannical

00:08:26.480 or an invading force from elsewhere.

00:08:30.660 That's what the Second Amendment is about.

00:08:33.140 That's why we're armed.

00:08:34.160 And of course, Joe Scarborough at one point was familiar with this concept.

00:08:38.300 Of course he was.

00:08:39.940 Joe Scarborough voted to repeal the assault weapons ban when he was a congressman.

00:08:47.360 But then, you know, and people look back at this and, you know, they may remember this

00:08:51.880 after Sandy Hook, he came out and changed his mind on that.

00:08:55.720 And by Sandy Hook, I mean the time he started hooking up with his co-host who has liberal

00:09:00.180 gun values.

00:09:01.260 So when I say Sandy Hook in this context, what I mean is he was having sex with Mika and he's

00:09:06.900 decided to change his mind because she apparently runs the Second Amendment position part of

00:09:14.840 the household.

00:09:16.780 So Sandy Hook is in air quotes in this particular context.

00:09:20.880 But he's become left of everyone, including Barack Obama, right?

00:09:26.180 Like, yet he'll still brag about his NRA rating.

00:09:29.540 Yes.

00:09:29.720 Right.

00:09:29.940 Like, oh, I've got 1995, right?

00:09:31.900 95 when he was voting against the assault weapons ban.

00:09:34.200 Yeah.

00:09:34.440 When he was doing that.

00:09:35.500 Yes, he had a good NRA rating because he was doing things that were consistent with the

00:09:39.680 Second Amendment.

00:09:40.200 Now he's not.

00:09:41.460 It's the exact opposite of what he's doing.

00:09:43.880 So it's just it's constant with this.

00:09:46.280 And, you know, look, I you hate to have these arguments.

00:09:48.860 I don't I don't know that you can stop defending the Second Amendment because if you stop doing

00:09:54.920 it, this is what will happen.

00:09:56.140 At some point they will come.

00:09:57.800 And I mean, how many times have they talked about Australia?

00:10:00.600 Australia was a massive confiscation program.

00:10:03.060 They use it as the example of, quote, unquote, what works.

00:10:06.820 Great Britain as well.

00:10:07.980 Great Britain as well.

00:10:09.000 Again, with Australia, all the studies afterwards showed no effect.

00:10:13.560 It didn't do anything.

00:10:15.720 Yeah.

00:10:15.920 In both Australia and and in England.

00:10:18.860 The gun murder rate actually went up.

00:10:21.760 In fact, in the case of Great Britain, I think it was triple in the immediate years

00:10:25.420 afterwards.

00:10:26.800 And then it went back to about now eventually and it took a long time for this.

00:10:30.520 But then it went back maybe 10 years later to about what it was before the ban showing

00:10:35.640 it's not effective at all to ban these weapons.

00:10:39.000 It hasn't helped in Australia and it hasn't helped in England.

00:10:42.020 So I don't know why they continue to point to Australia and and the UK.

00:10:49.980 It's not effective.

00:10:51.160 It didn't work.

00:10:52.480 No, it doesn't prove your point.

00:10:53.680 In fact, it does the opposite.

00:10:55.520 Here's this.

00:10:55.960 Let me give you two quotes from the about Australia.

00:10:58.300 2008 study, University of Melbourne.

00:11:00.360 Quote.

00:11:00.680 There is little evidence to suggest that the Australian mandatory gun buyback program had

00:11:04.880 any significant effects on firearm homicides.

00:11:07.520 Another study concluded something similar.

00:11:09.320 The gun buyback and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide

00:11:14.800 in Australia.

00:11:16.000 Now, again, think of what they did there.

00:11:18.240 They didn't do what they're talking about doing here.

00:11:20.640 You want to talk about left of a Barack Obama.

00:11:22.960 They went way further than anything Barack Obama ever suggested in policy terms or anything

00:11:27.640 they're suggesting now.

00:11:28.600 They did something more like the Nazis did in the 30s.

00:11:31.440 They confiscated guns.

00:11:33.680 Yeah.

00:11:34.100 They confiscated 35% of the nation's firearms.

00:11:38.800 Here, that would be 60 million to over 100 million guns.

00:11:43.460 Over 100.

00:11:44.640 You think they're going to go around and confiscate?

00:11:46.420 Because none of these programs, the assault weapons ban didn't confiscate one weapon.

00:11:50.100 Right.

00:11:50.460 It just stopped you from buying new ones.

00:11:52.140 Yeah.

00:11:52.420 And that's what they're talking about now.

00:11:54.300 This is confiscating 100 million guns.

00:11:57.120 And when they did that in Australia, there was no effect on firearm violence.

00:12:02.700 Think about that.

00:12:04.060 There's nothing.

00:12:05.380 They can say they want to do something all they want.

00:12:08.480 But the something they want to do doesn't accomplish squat.

00:12:13.180 And they still keep suggesting it because it's got, as we said yesterday, Pat, nothing to do

00:12:18.740 with these victims.

00:12:19.980 Nothing.

00:12:20.700 It's got zero to do with that.

00:12:22.380 It's not associated.

00:12:23.960 There's no, there are plenty of liberals.

00:12:26.160 There are plenty of people on the left who think this would be effective because they

00:12:32.540 don't know the facts.

00:12:33.160 And honestly feel for the victims of these tragedies and think, gosh, what if we take guns away?

00:12:38.600 It'll help plenty of those people.

00:12:40.540 The people who are on TV talking about it every day are not those people.

00:12:44.020 Those people know the facts.

00:12:45.300 Those people have looked at these studies.

00:12:46.600 These people are familiar with the arguments.

00:12:48.220 These people understand that what they're suggesting, A, can't be done right now because you have,

00:12:55.060 you could have done it in 2009 to 2011 when you had control of all three branches of government,

00:12:59.780 but you don't have that now.

00:13:00.920 You have control of zero of them.

00:13:02.840 So the idea that you're going to get that through Congress right now, they know they have no chance

00:13:06.560 of doing it.

00:13:07.220 They're using you.

00:13:08.740 If you're on the left making these arguments and quoting the 18 school shootings this year,

00:13:12.420 they are using you.

00:13:15.140 They are trying to get your money into their campaigns.

00:13:19.140 That's the bottom line.

00:13:20.300 They don't care at all about these victims.

00:13:23.480 Not at all.

00:13:24.900 And you hate to see people, random people who have good intentions, who just want kids to be alive

00:13:32.400 in their high schools, to be utilized like this by political parties and activist groups,

00:13:39.260 but that's exactly what's happening.

00:13:40.680 It's sad.

00:13:42.420 It is empathetic.

00:13:43.940 Yeah.

00:13:44.380 I want to get into the big, bad, evil, nasty, horrific NRA too, and how they own all our

00:13:50.220 politicians.

00:13:51.140 All of our politicians are owned by the NRA.

00:13:54.700 Why are they so cheap?

00:13:56.000 That's what I would like to know.

00:13:56.980 I don't know.

00:13:57.720 Why are they so cheap?

00:13:58.340 You're going to find out how cheap these people really are because it doesn't cost that much

00:14:02.840 to own the entire Congress.

00:14:04.640 That's amazing.

00:14:05.600 It's interesting.

00:14:05.900 Yeah.

00:14:06.240 It's fascinating.

00:14:07.580 It's amazing how the NRA can own the entire Congress, while other groups who donate far

00:14:12.400 much more money to the left don't own them at all.

00:14:15.320 Not at all.

00:14:15.680 They don't even know what their opinions are, basically.

00:14:17.860 Right.

00:14:18.420 I mean, sure, the NRA is not even close to the top donor of these groups, but they are

00:14:22.460 the ones that own the government all the time.

00:14:25.040 We'll share that with you coming up.

00:14:26.740 SimpliSafe is the home security system we've been talking to you about for a very long

00:14:30.620 time.

00:14:31.280 I think they had 10 employees when Glenn did his first spot for SimpliSafe.

00:14:36.020 And, you know, Glenn, I think, first took them on because of their technology.

00:14:39.380 It was just way ahead of its time.

00:14:41.740 And now they are the fastest growing home security company in the nation, protecting

00:14:45.880 over 2 million people.

00:14:47.060 And they just released their brand new home security system, the all new SimpliSafe.

00:14:51.720 This has been completely rebuilt.

00:14:53.060 It's been redesigned, and they've added new safeguards to protect against...

00:14:56.660 It was always the argument.

00:14:57.740 Well, what if they do this?

00:14:58.840 What if they do that?

00:14:59.440 Well, they've added new safeguards to protect against power outages, down Wi-Fi, cut landlines,

00:15:54.620 Glenn Beck.

00:15:55.880 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:15:57.320 Still a little under the weather.

00:15:58.940 888-933-93.

00:16:00.980 Who's responsible for all this?

00:16:03.240 All these gun deaths?

00:16:05.120 The NRA.

00:16:06.540 The NRA.

00:16:07.820 They're behind it all.

00:16:09.440 They're evil.

00:16:10.840 So far this year already.

00:16:12.320 Okay, we're into February.

00:16:13.420 They've spent a total of $264,000.

00:16:16.960 Oh my gosh.

00:16:19.400 $264,000.

00:16:21.380 It's like $1.95 to you and me.

00:16:23.840 Yeah, right.

00:16:24.480 Come on.

00:16:25.240 That's nothing.

00:16:26.620 Well, you're thinking, okay, well, it's only February.

00:16:28.920 By the end of the year, here's what they spent in 2016, presidential election year, on Republicans and Democrats.

00:16:35.840 So this would be likely the highest amount they've ever spent in any year.

00:16:38.860 You would think so.

00:16:39.980 $1,085,000 total.

00:16:42.980 Most of that, almost all of it went to Republicans, of course.

00:16:45.540 But $1,085,000.

00:16:47.780 Spread out over, you know, everybody they donate to.

00:16:51.120 They are not giving these candidates anywhere near the kind of money it would cost to own these guys and put up with this nonsense if they don't believe in the Second Amendment.

00:17:04.100 I mean, that can't even be the top, it's not even close to the top donors for Republicans.

00:17:08.800 I mean, because obviously you go to unions, you go to other groups like that, it's going to be a lot higher than a million dollars spread over the entire Congress.

00:17:17.060 But I mean, even for Republicans, there's probably a dozen groups that give more money than that.

00:17:21.180 Why don't they own everybody?

00:17:22.400 Why can't these, you know, they talk about the evil Koch brothers donating all their money.

00:17:26.620 Well, the Koch brothers want less spending.

00:17:28.500 No one pays attention to them.

00:17:29.540 Yeah, we did a story on this, I don't know, six or eight months ago or so.

00:17:35.060 Remember on those serials?

00:17:37.120 The Koch brothers were something like 18th in spending, and they were well down the list.

00:17:43.800 The number one spender by far was a Democrat.

00:17:47.920 It was, I believe it was Tom Steyer, the guy who's right now launching the campaign to impeach Donald Trump.

00:17:53.340 And he's spending something like $20 million of his own money to try to get Trump impeached.

00:17:58.780 And has it, I don't know, I haven't been following it, but has that happened yet?

00:18:01.380 Not quite yet.

00:18:02.680 No.

00:18:03.200 That has not worked yet?

00:18:04.660 But.

00:18:05.240 So guy running commercials on MSNBC where every single program already says that you have to impeach Donald Trump,

00:18:12.080 that somehow has not been effective in impeaching Donald Trump.

00:18:14.960 No, isn't that strange?

00:18:15.760 That is very strange.

00:18:16.560 And he's vowed to spend like $100 million or something to get rid of him and to get his policies enacted.

00:18:23.260 And he's horrible.

00:18:26.160 And he spends way more than the Kochs do.

00:18:30.860 And the Koch brothers are the ones who are vilified continually.

00:18:34.260 Continually.

00:18:34.880 It's like the Koch brothers are donating billions of dollars every election cycle.

00:18:40.880 And they're not doing anything close to that.

00:18:43.700 And this is what I've never understood about the whole NRA owns the Congress thing.

00:18:51.020 The NRA can donate money or not donate money.

00:18:54.800 But it's the Congress person who has to vote.

00:18:58.520 Right?

00:18:58.780 They are the ones that have to vote.

00:19:00.280 And every two years with the House, you get a chance to say,

00:19:03.880 I don't like the way they voted.

00:19:04.980 I can vote for somebody else.

00:19:07.080 And if they have voted only with the NRA and you don't like that, you could just change your mind.

00:19:12.340 The bottom line is the average person in America, particularly Republican voters, believe the same things as the NRA.

00:19:19.400 They believe the same things as the Second Amendment indicates are legally required.

00:19:27.260 They believe that your right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

00:19:31.060 That's what they believe.

00:19:31.820 Why do they believe that?

00:19:32.920 Because I guess the NRA was donating to them too.

00:19:34.960 I guess.

00:19:35.960 Yeah.

00:19:36.180 Which is weird.

00:19:36.620 Actually, a lot of those people are donating to the NRA.

00:19:39.180 You know, I mean, so does the NRA, is the NRA owned by the individual citizens?

00:19:47.420 It's a lot worse when you're, it sounds a lot better to blame the NRA when in reality what they're saying is the average American citizen that votes for Republicans and believes in gun rights are bad people.

00:19:59.860 And yeah, because when you're disparaging the NRA, you're disparaging their 50 million American members.

00:20:07.640 50 million.

00:20:09.520 That's a pretty good section, a pretty good cross-section of American people that you're disparaging all the time.

00:20:17.020 888-727-BECK.

00:20:19.060 You know, we've had a really good run with the market since, I mean, for a while now.

00:20:33.100 I mean, going back to 2008, since it bottomed out in 2009, 2010, we've had a really good run.

00:20:38.260 And a lot of people now are looking at their house and saying, you know what?

00:20:41.000 I've had this house for a long time.

00:20:42.320 I'm looking for something maybe a little bit different, maybe a little smaller, maybe downsizing, maybe just taking some money off the table and locking in the profits you've made over the past couple of years.

00:20:52.520 To do that, though, you need to maximize this because this could be the biggest financial opportunity you have in your entire life.

00:20:59.460 Selling your house in a nut market can mean, you know, setting yourself up for the rest of your life.

00:21:03.220 Realestateagentsitrust.com was set up by Glenn to make sure you can find an agent in your area that has a really solid work ethic that understands that you need to be updated and be, you know, to do business in a way that makes sense, that you understand, that aligns with your values.

00:21:23.960 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

00:21:26.960 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:21:28.100 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:34.520 With Pat and Stu, 888-727-BECK.

00:21:39.340 So the White House has called the latest congressional plan giant amnesty.

00:21:47.360 And they've rejected this.

00:21:49.080 Now, all four Senate bills have gone down in flames already.

00:21:53.000 So it's starting to look like they're not going to get anything accomplished, which may be a good thing.

00:21:58.100 I mean, if you're not an amnesty fan, and I'm not, then this might be a good thing, because all of these are now amnesty bills.

00:22:08.840 Yeah, if all of this fails, it just means Trump keeps his promise on DACA from the campaign, which is why, you know, part of the reason he got elected, right?

00:22:16.520 Right.

00:22:16.740 So, I mean, he's wound up giving a lot of ground on that particular promise to try to get other things done, to seem bipartisan, whatever, you know, whatever, you know, reasoning you want to assign to it.

00:22:28.500 But the bottom line is, well, he was talked about getting rid of DACA on day one.

00:22:32.120 We're now in year two.

00:22:33.940 And what, again, his proposal is to keep DACA and expand it.

00:22:39.060 And he still can't get Democrats on board with it.

00:22:41.260 The DACA was $800,000.

00:22:42.520 He offered $1.8 million.

00:22:44.980 Nobody was talking about a path to citizenship.

00:22:47.080 He offered that.

00:22:48.660 Yeah, it was only supposed to be legal status.

00:22:50.520 Yeah.

00:22:50.720 So we have moved from legal status to path to citizenship and from $800,000 to $1.8 million.

00:22:57.060 And there was nothing given in return for that.

00:22:59.080 Nothing.

00:22:59.860 Nothing.

00:23:00.440 We've just now all adopted.

00:23:01.480 He just offered it.

00:23:02.680 Yeah.

00:23:03.160 And he's still a terrible person to the Democrats.

00:23:05.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

00:23:05.840 It's crazy.

00:23:06.320 So there are four bills that came up yesterday.

00:23:08.240 Here are the details on them.

00:23:09.360 There's the McCain-Koons bill.

00:23:11.540 Chris Coons from Delaware.

00:23:14.000 Provided a path to citizenship to...

00:23:15.860 If John McCain's involved, you know.

00:23:17.580 Oh, you know.

00:23:18.060 You know that's got to be good.

00:23:19.440 Got to be good.

00:23:20.280 So what it did was, again, though, these are things that the president has offered.

00:23:23.220 Is this the latest, the Common Sense Caucus?

00:23:25.460 No.

00:23:25.880 That's another one.

00:23:26.400 Okay.

00:23:26.540 So first was Coons-McCain.

00:23:28.060 Provided a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants.

00:23:31.660 Offered no money for Trump's border wall.

00:23:33.760 So did include some border security measures.

00:23:36.920 It needed to get 60 votes.

00:23:38.320 All these need to get 60 votes.

00:23:39.720 It failed 52 to 47.

00:23:42.140 So it still got over the majority, but it was not enough.

00:23:44.820 Democrats voted almost entirely in favor of it.

00:23:48.700 Republicans mostly voted against it.

00:23:50.300 So that was more of a Democrat-leaning bill, as you would be not surprised to hear when it

00:23:55.040 comes to John McCain being involved.

00:23:56.540 And so basically, this is like, if you don't give Trump money for a border wall, you don't

00:24:03.640 have to get any Republican votes.

00:24:04.960 Which, okay, that makes sense.

00:24:06.160 Like, if he's going to give up 1.8 million, and he's going to give up path to citizenship,

00:24:10.720 he should get the money for his wall.

00:24:12.340 Okay.

00:24:12.680 Next one was from Pat Toomey.

00:24:14.380 Now, Pat Toomey, this is the one I think is probably the most conservative of the bunch.

00:24:18.220 Does not actually address DACA.

00:24:20.040 DACA just talks about sanctuary cities, will penalize sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce

00:24:27.280 federal immigration policy by withholding federal funding from those municipalities.

00:24:31.620 This is the one, I think, of these four that I would probably vote for.

00:24:34.280 Yeah.

00:24:34.740 Because it was specifically designed just to do that.

00:24:38.360 It had nothing to do with DACA.

00:24:39.400 It didn't give any amnesty to anybody.

00:24:42.300 What about a border wall?

00:24:43.260 Did it provide?

00:24:43.740 It did not.

00:24:44.240 It was just no funding.

00:24:45.180 Just addressing this specific issue.

00:24:47.660 Sanctuary cities.

00:24:48.400 I don't understand why they won't fund the border wall at all.

00:24:52.100 They just, they won't, they're not interested in border security.

00:24:55.820 Well, they do do this in some of the other bills.

00:24:57.680 The Toomey bill, however, Republican from Pennsylvania, who's generally speaking a pretty

00:25:01.140 good senator, came out and said, look, let's just address sanctuary cities.

00:25:05.620 That's a big deal.

00:25:06.340 Let's just address that to try to get enough votes.

00:25:08.940 He got more than the previous bill.

00:25:10.480 He got 54 votes for it.

00:25:12.260 Republicans and a few Democrats actually supported it, but most Democrats were opposed.

00:25:16.200 So that failed.

00:25:16.880 The next one was the so-called Common Sense Caucus.

00:25:20.840 And when you think common sense, I think we can all say the words together, Susan Collins.

00:25:27.800 I'm sure everyone was saying that in their car.

00:25:29.280 Yes.

00:25:29.820 Right as I was uttering it.

00:25:30.840 Because that's the first name that sprang to mind.

00:25:33.360 Susan Collins, of course.

00:25:35.360 So-called Common Sense Caucus was a large bipartisan group led by Susan Collins.

00:25:40.360 The plan had gained the endorsement of Democratic leadership, which tells you right off the

00:25:45.520 bat that it's not necessarily going to be a great thing.

00:25:47.560 It was technically sponsored by Chuck Schumer.

00:25:49.340 However, it was a bipartisan bill.

00:25:50.960 The bill did things.

00:25:52.700 Okay.

00:25:53.060 Here's what the bill did.

00:25:54.380 It did.

00:25:55.040 And this is what they thought this was the best chance of passing.

00:25:58.200 It gave the Trump guidelines on 1.8 million undocumented immigrants would have a path to

00:26:03.640 citizenship.

00:26:04.380 And this is the one that they said they reached an agreement in principle on.

00:26:08.560 Yes.

00:26:08.680 Right?

00:26:09.000 This is that one.

00:26:09.820 Yeah.

00:26:09.960 This is the big one.

00:26:10.580 The Common Sense Caucus.

00:26:11.740 Yeah.

00:26:11.860 So it starts with all the stuff that Trump said he wanted and would give.

00:26:17.280 So 1.8 million undocumented immigrants, not 800,000, but 1.8 million.

00:26:22.520 Not legal status, but a path to citizenship, which is, again, a move to the left of both

00:26:27.320 of those items.

00:26:29.360 What the president called for.

00:26:30.420 Right.

00:26:30.740 So what did he call for?

00:26:31.960 Also, $25 billion for border security, and that includes money for the wall.

00:26:36.580 Now, there was a complaint you had mentioned about, because they pushed back against this.

00:26:40.740 That was not an immediate build of the wall.

00:26:43.640 That was pushed down the road several years.

00:26:47.280 And then I think it was overall a 10-year plan.

00:26:51.260 And Trump was like, no, we need it now.

00:26:54.300 Yeah.

00:26:54.520 And Trump said he wants a lot of things.

00:26:58.780 We're going to go through.

00:26:59.340 The last one is his plan.

00:27:01.440 They did not give him everything he wanted here.

00:27:03.180 They gave him a lot of the big marquee asks.

00:27:07.600 And they tried to make it look like the wall would be built.

00:27:09.840 Right.

00:27:10.520 But just like in 2006, when they said it shall be built, and it was written into the

00:27:14.960 law, it wasn't built.

00:27:16.520 This wouldn't have been either.

00:27:17.800 Exactly.

00:27:18.440 So the president and the White House pushed back against this bill, said this bill was

00:27:24.780 a disaster.

00:27:25.000 Called it a giant amnesty plan.

00:27:27.060 And of course, it is a giant amnesty plan.

00:27:29.020 However...

00:27:29.300 But so was his, kind of.

00:27:30.080 Yeah.

00:27:30.300 The 1.8 million undocumented immigrants get a path to citizenship is what the president

00:27:34.000 suggested, which is also a giant amnesty plan.

00:27:36.580 Right.

00:27:36.640 I mean, these are all amnesty, but with the exception of what Toomey wanted, these are

00:27:40.080 all giant amnesty plans, just varying in their degree.

00:27:43.300 Again, had to get 60 votes, only got 54.

00:27:45.580 Democrats almost unanimously backed the plan along with eight Republicans, but the rest

00:27:50.300 of the GOP conference and a handful of Democrats blocked the bill.

00:27:52.660 Last up, and again, like, that was probably the one that had the best chance of winning.

00:27:56.880 And everybody was talking like, that was, it's a done deal.

00:27:59.320 We got it done.

00:27:59.980 Here it is.

00:28:00.600 And then it went down in flames.

00:28:01.920 They got 54 votes, but that's not enough.

00:28:03.720 And by the way, the White House threatened to veto it anyway.

00:28:05.660 So they would have needed, what is it, 67?

00:28:07.780 Yeah.

00:28:08.040 To override their veto, which they didn't even have anything close to.

00:28:10.780 So last one was the Grassley bill.

00:28:12.520 And the Grassley bill is the Trump bill.

00:28:14.040 Grassley just took what Trump wanted and brought it to the Senate.

00:28:17.760 President provided a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants who came

00:28:21.860 to the country as children.

00:28:22.860 Again, same number Trump had been proposing.

00:28:25.020 Offered $25 billion to fund the southern border wall.

00:28:29.280 Was that immediate?

00:28:30.120 Didn't we know?

00:28:30.520 That was, it's Trump's plan.

00:28:32.060 So, yes.

00:28:32.260 Okay.

00:28:32.480 So, yeah.

00:28:32.820 Right.

00:28:33.040 That's immediate.

00:28:33.720 Wow.

00:28:33.900 Substantially, and this is the other part that he threw on top and has asked for from

00:28:37.080 the beginning.

00:28:37.480 He's been consistent on this.

00:28:39.300 Substantially curtails family immigration and eliminates the diversity visa lottery program in such

00:28:44.480 a way that would, as Vox calls it, gut the legal immigration system.

00:28:49.380 Okay.

00:28:49.700 So that was the Trump plan.

00:28:51.500 That one got the least amount of votes.

00:28:54.520 In fact, couldn't even muster 40.

00:28:56.620 Failed 39 to 60.

00:28:58.700 Democrats opposed the bill completely, joined by a notable number of Republicans while most

00:29:03.140 of the GOP conference and a couple of Democrats supported it.

00:29:07.280 That was, it does not seem to have any chance to go forward.

00:29:10.420 Uh, and, and again, I think like, it's not a huge surprise that, that, that would not

00:29:16.140 fail, that that would fail.

00:29:18.080 It's just a surprise if you are a, if you're an alien and you come down from the planet

00:29:24.560 Zoltar, which is wonderful this time of year.

00:29:27.620 I've got a condo up there.

00:29:29.080 You're an alien.

00:29:29.940 You come down from Zoltar.

00:29:30.920 You've never seen this before.

00:29:31.880 And you say, okay, what's, what are the debate lines?

00:29:34.060 The Republicans say they don't want to give amnesty to illegal immigrants.

00:29:37.720 And the Democrats say they want amnesty for illegal immigrants.

00:29:42.980 And in fact, their president passed a legal, they got it through without even passing a

00:29:46.960 bill for 800,000 of these people.

00:29:49.420 And then you come in, okay, so what's the state of the debate now?

00:29:51.960 Well, now the Republicans are offering not only the original 800,000, but another million

00:29:57.680 on top of that.

00:29:58.700 Plus they're not offering legal status, which was the debate before.

00:30:01.860 They're now offering a path to citizenship, which is another huge step to the left on this,

00:30:06.920 in this particular issue.

00:30:07.820 What they want in return is $25 billion for border security and a couple of changes in

00:30:13.000 the way legal immigration occurs.

00:30:16.220 You would think you'd say, number one, wow, the Democrats have won.

00:30:20.880 The fact that the debate is happening upon those lines, you would say immediately, no matter

00:30:25.520 what happens with any of these bills, the Democrats have already won the debate.

00:30:28.600 No doubt about it.

00:30:29.700 Secondarily, you'd say, why the hell aren't the Democrats accepting this?

00:30:34.140 They are, they have been given everything they asked for plus more, plus more.

00:30:42.420 They, the offer from the Republicans more than doubled what the initial ask was by the

00:30:49.140 Obama administration.

00:30:50.700 Okay.

00:30:51.440 And what happens in the end?

00:30:53.680 They reject it because again, just like with the gun stuff we were talking about before,

00:30:58.180 it has nothing to do with, with illegal immigrants.

00:31:01.620 It has nothing to do with dreamers.

00:31:03.460 They don't care about dreamers.

00:31:06.260 They don't, that has nothing to do with their calculus here.

00:31:09.560 If they, if they cared about it, they would have passed one of these bills.

00:31:13.440 And you know, to be fair to them, uh, they can't pass it by themselves.

00:31:18.360 However, there were bills in here, like the one Trump proposed that they could have voted

00:31:22.400 for and had passed.

00:31:23.240 But with everything we've outlined here and everything we've, we've just talked about,

00:31:28.320 why is it that they, no one in Congress or the president, the administration can't come

00:31:34.760 forward and lay it out?

00:31:36.340 Look, here's what we've done for the Democrats.

00:31:39.460 We've given them everything they wanted really.

00:31:42.360 And more.

00:31:43.600 All we're asking is to secure our Southern border.

00:31:46.380 That's all we're asking.

00:31:47.020 You can't come to the American people and sell that and, and put that right in the lap

00:31:53.900 of the Democrats.

00:31:54.920 I just don't understand how nobody can articulate these things.

00:31:59.080 Nobody in the administration, nobody in the Congress can seem to articulate this so that

00:32:03.980 we can break this log jam through the American people.

00:32:07.180 Because I think if you outlined it for them and you, you set it up this way, look, they

00:32:12.840 wanted 800,000.

00:32:13.740 We gave them 1.8 million.

00:32:14.900 And they, they wanted, uh, they wanted to legalize these people.

00:32:19.700 We're offering a path to citizenship and still, still they're saying no.

00:32:25.380 You need to call your representative.

00:32:27.820 You need to tell them what you think of this.

00:32:30.120 You need to tell them whether or not you want our Southern border secured.

00:32:34.040 Do you still want the, you want the drugs to flow freely through it?

00:32:37.720 You want terrorists to be able to freely flow through the Southern border?

00:32:41.100 Or you want illegals to pour into our country year after year, as they have been for the

00:32:46.580 last 30 years.

00:32:48.320 Is that what you want?

00:32:49.700 If not, call your Democrat representative and tell them to vote for these bills.

00:32:55.380 And I don't know.

00:32:56.080 Yeah.

00:32:56.380 How can that not be done?

00:32:57.620 I don't know.

00:32:58.360 And I will say this, uh, is that I don't, I don't know.

00:33:01.020 Is there a place for people like you and I, Pat?

00:33:04.440 No.

00:33:05.020 Is there not?

00:33:05.640 No, because I, what are, where are the people that say, you know what?

00:33:08.660 I don't actually think we should double the number of DACA recipients.

00:33:12.140 I know.

00:33:12.400 You know what?

00:33:12.760 I don't think that a path to citizenship is the right thing.

00:33:15.480 Right.

00:33:15.900 Uh, necessarily in this situation.

00:33:17.560 And no, there's no place for us in that anymore.

00:33:19.180 I think that ship sailed.

00:33:21.540 Don't you think?

00:33:22.320 I mean, it feels like that ship has sailed.

00:33:25.260 We will.

00:33:25.920 And it seems like that's not even a possibility anymore.

00:33:29.900 I know.

00:33:30.240 Well, it isn't.

00:33:30.840 Not even a possibility.

00:33:31.700 When, when the Republicans offer is to the left of what the Democrats asked for.

00:33:36.780 Right.

00:33:37.360 It's impossible to, to, I mean, the only thing, the only Democrat stupidity is going to lead

00:33:43.840 to something here not passing because they won't accept very, let me be honest about it.

00:33:48.940 Very favorable.

00:33:49.480 Very favorable terms.

00:33:50.880 Unbelievably favorable.

00:33:52.260 Terms that, let's just say in the campaign, Donald Trump knew he was going to do exactly

00:33:57.180 this.

00:33:57.760 There's no way he'd admit it in the campaign.

00:34:00.820 He would have never admitted it in the campaign.

00:34:03.760 I don't think at the time he, I think at the time he honestly believed he was going to

00:34:07.160 be tough on DACA and he honestly believed he would overturn it on day one.

00:34:10.460 And he honestly believed that he would not give, uh, uh, you know, a path to citizenship

00:34:14.700 to illegal immigrants.

00:34:15.500 I think that's probably where his head was at that time.

00:34:17.820 But the bottom line is that's where now his head is in a totally different place and

00:34:21.680 he wouldn't, he would never get through a primary in a Republican field of 17 people.

00:34:26.720 If you admit this is what you're going to do.

00:34:28.500 And now this is the Republican arguing position, not the Democrat one, the Republican one.

00:34:33.520 Yeah.

00:34:33.960 And still the Democrats won't go along with it, which is the only thing saving us.

00:34:38.220 Thank God the Democrats are like this because all they see here is an opportunity to oppose

00:34:43.660 the president.

00:34:45.020 And thank God they see it that way because they could get tons of stuff that they actually

00:34:49.460 want or advocate that they want.

00:34:51.420 It's their hatred for Donald Trump.

00:34:52.920 Yeah.

00:34:53.100 That keeps them from actually getting their policies done right now.

00:34:56.200 And to get the, the, the wedge issue to continue.

00:34:59.560 They want that to continue.

00:35:01.420 They want to be able to go to their voters and say, we're the ones going, we're trying

00:35:05.280 to protect the illegal immigrants.

00:35:06.540 We're trying to protect immigrants and they won't let us.

00:35:09.140 I mean, you know, 99% of people are not going to do just the research that listening to this

00:35:15.460 last segment wouldn't, would entail, right?

00:35:18.260 Just listening to what the four votes were and how they went down.

00:35:21.500 Most people outside of a talk radio audience, they're not going to pay attention to that.

00:35:25.980 They're not going to go through that process.

00:35:27.800 They're just going to hear Democrats good on, on, on amnesty or in my opinion, bad on amnesty

00:35:35.280 and Republicans are evil and they're opposing it.

00:35:38.160 And Donald Trump doesn't like them.

00:35:39.420 He calls them all rapists, right?

00:35:41.140 Like that's what they're going to know.

00:35:42.460 And so I think maybe this will work to get donations, but again, wouldn't it be nice

00:35:47.320 if these were, if these debates were actually about the policy topics they're supposed to

00:35:51.900 be about?

00:35:52.380 Yeah.

00:35:52.560 If they actually had the best interest of the American people at heart, that would be

00:35:56.500 nice.

00:35:56.680 It's a fantasy.

00:35:57.260 It would be nice.

00:35:57.820 It is fantasy.

00:35:59.320 888-727-BECK.

00:36:01.260 It's just, it's just amazing.

00:36:02.520 That's where we are.

00:36:03.580 So I have a 2012 car and it's reached that age where, you know, minor things are starting

00:36:10.140 to go wrong with it.

00:36:11.280 And I guess that's expected after we're in year six.

00:36:13.760 Um, I don't worry about those problems anymore because I do have the extended vehicle protection,

00:36:17.880 uh, from CarShield.

00:36:19.680 Getting covered by CarShield is a great idea.

00:36:21.860 First of all, it's really easy to do.

00:36:23.380 It's affordable protection that can save you thousands on a covered repair.

00:36:26.700 Think about some of the big repairs you might come up with.

00:36:29.180 A new fuel pump costs over $500.

00:36:31.500 Replacing a water pump over $1,000.

00:36:34.160 Uh, if you need repairs to a control arm or a torque converter stuff, most of us have never

00:36:39.180 heard of until it breaks.

00:36:40.560 Well, now you're talking thousands and thousands of dollars.

00:36:42.600 It doesn't even talk about the stuff that's new to cars, like, uh, the computers and the

00:36:47.320 GPSs and all the crazy electronics that are in there.

00:36:50.100 That stuff goes wrong.

00:36:51.160 It costs a fortune.

00:36:52.720 CarShield is the ultimate in extended coverage and they get your favorite mechanic or dealership

00:36:56.760 to get, they get them paid directly.

00:36:58.400 You don't have to go to some person you don't normally deal with.

00:37:01.460 You go to your favorite person and CarShield pays them.

00:37:04.580 Sign up today and get 24-7 roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is in the shop.

00:37:10.180 Save yourself from high repair bills.

00:37:37.460 Glenn Beck.

00:37:39.700 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

00:37:44.560 Uh, we were just talking about the Olympics.

00:37:45.880 It was a terrible day for, for, uh, the United States yesterday for our Olympians.

00:37:49.720 Uh, but the other day when the women's USA hockey team played Canada, lost two to one,

00:37:56.320 there was that huge fight that broke out at the end of it.

00:37:58.960 It was just a brawl at the end of the, at the end of the match.

00:38:01.620 And like, it's weird because they're all in the hockey costumes, so you can't necessarily

00:38:04.760 tell their women until they take their, and then there's just, and then it's like, it's

00:38:08.520 kind of weird, wasn't it?

00:38:09.840 It felt sort of strange to see a women brawl.

00:38:13.140 Maybe that's sexist.

00:38:14.220 It may be.

00:38:14.880 Maybe I should have thought, well, yeah, of course, it's a hockey match.

00:38:17.720 Of course there's a brawl.

00:38:17.920 If not liking watching women hit women is sexist, I'm sexist.

00:38:21.200 Yeah.

00:38:21.220 I don't like it.

00:38:22.180 But don't dig it.

00:38:23.080 Don't like it.

00:38:27.800 Glenn Beck.

00:38:29.800 Mercury.

00:38:36.720 Love.

00:38:41.360 Glenn Beck.

00:38:42.980 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:45.180 He's been, uh, you know, feigning this illness since, uh, Valentine's Day.

00:38:51.220 And Stu is just making the point.

00:38:53.040 I mean.

00:38:53.600 Just get her a present.

00:38:54.300 Just get her a present already.

00:38:55.560 Two days ago.

00:38:55.800 Okay.

00:38:56.240 Come on.

00:38:57.040 She knows.

00:38:57.540 Get her a present and come back to work.

00:38:59.160 She, she's obviously aware you blew it on Valentine's Day.

00:39:01.940 You can't fake the illness anymore.

00:39:03.860 Just get her, you know, order something from, you know, 1-800-Flowers, get on Amazon, get

00:39:09.220 something done.

00:39:10.140 Yeah.

00:39:10.540 And get back to work.

00:39:11.400 Right.

00:39:11.660 There's important things going on.

00:39:12.820 Exactly.

00:39:13.460 You know?

00:39:15.240 Exactly.

00:39:16.300 Uh, so we're, we've been hearing a lot.

00:39:20.400 Uh, about the, about the shooter.

00:39:22.800 First of all, we heard he was a white supremacist.

00:39:24.980 Yeah.

00:39:25.160 Not from him.

00:39:26.380 From white supremacists.

00:39:27.620 They're like, yeah, that's our guy.

00:39:28.520 That's our guy right there.

00:39:30.000 I don't know why you'd want to claim him.

00:39:33.220 It was very strange.

00:39:34.340 And, and that was my first instinct when I heard that is usually the pathway here is someone

00:39:40.340 murders someone, the name leaks out, and then reporters, people on the internet, et

00:39:46.440 cetera, do their research and discover his name posted on a message board or some website

00:39:53.260 somewhere and they say, oh, he's tied to this extremist group or that extremist group.

00:39:58.620 And that's usually the way these things go.

00:40:00.340 This was, he, he killed all these people.

00:40:04.120 And then immediately there were, uh, those from this group called, what is it?

00:40:09.460 The Republic of Florida, which Republic of Florida is a white supremacist, uh, it's a

00:40:14.620 white nationalist group in that they believe they want to basically make Florida into its

00:40:18.080 own country, um, and withdraw and only pretty, I think pretty much only white people can be

00:40:23.500 in it, which would be just from a logistical standpoint, difficult.

00:40:27.760 It would be, you know, a lot of transportation costs.

00:40:30.280 Uh, there'd be a lot going on there.

00:40:32.320 So, uh, they, that they, the, one of the founders of this group comes out and says, oh yeah, he

00:40:38.960 was, he comes and he does exercises with us all the time, military exercises.

00:40:42.440 And you know, yeah, he's, he's there all the time.

00:40:44.540 And look, you know, we didn't, we, we actually bought a gun for him at one point.

00:40:47.920 Like what person they're in the middle of a, of a mass murder and you're admitting to

00:40:53.340 a potential straw purchase of a firearm.

00:40:55.580 That seems like a bad idea.

00:40:57.860 And, um, it was a bad idea, although a different kind of bad idea.

00:41:01.420 Apparently just this guy was trying to get, you know, uh, attention for his group.

00:41:06.040 At least that's what he's being accused of.

00:41:07.840 Uh, he now seemingly is admitting and local police have also, uh, revealed that there is

00:41:15.120 no tie between this guy and the white supremacy group.

00:41:17.740 And it's interesting to see this happen because these are the sorts of stories that set people's

00:41:23.860 opinion forever.

00:41:24.760 They heard this, this was unchallenged for a day.

00:41:27.420 And now they're going to believe, I mean, some percentage of, of the public is going to

00:41:31.380 believe till the end of time that this guy was a white supremacist.

00:41:34.400 Uh, we have no evidence that that's actually true.

00:41:36.600 It may be true, but as of right now, we have no evidence to believe that he was associated

00:41:41.020 with this group in any way.

00:41:42.520 I guess the guy who runs it is just sort of a troll, always looking for attention, constantly

00:41:47.580 spreading his name out there.

00:41:48.840 He's, you know, and one of these guys that, you know, is constantly looking for this sort

00:41:53.200 of negative attention because he believes it puts him on, you know, that side of, you

00:41:57.780 know, the right side of history.

00:41:59.000 And again, he's a white supremacist, so he's nuts.

00:42:01.600 Um, but that's kind of his shtick.

00:42:03.900 He's done it before.

00:42:04.760 And by the way, I believe it was the ADL that initially did this, initially reported this,

00:42:11.100 uh, the anti-defamation league.

00:42:12.760 And so it seems like they're, that was them spreading fake news, essentially.

00:42:18.120 Uh, so that's something that should be noted.

00:42:21.120 FBI is under fire a little bit too over this guy because there was a person in Tennessee

00:42:27.080 who's a big YouTuber and he saw this guy's post about how he was going to become a professional

00:42:33.800 school shooter.

00:42:34.920 Yeah.

00:42:35.160 To his credit, the guy in Tennessee alerted the FBI right away.

00:42:39.280 Did all the right things.

00:42:40.100 Did, did all, you know, see something, say something.

00:42:42.200 He did, he did.

00:42:43.820 And the FBI came and, and talked to him about it, but they never got to, uh, the shooter.

00:42:51.100 Yeah.

00:42:51.260 I mean, cause if see something, say something only works, there's another step after that.

00:42:56.320 Right.

00:42:56.480 If someone does something about the something that was said.

00:42:59.300 Yeah.

00:42:59.500 And so he, he did two things.

00:43:01.340 The guy who saw the comment and the comment said, I'm going to be a, I want to be a professional

00:43:05.080 school shooter, something like that.

00:43:06.900 And so he went to YouTube first of all and said, Hey, there's this comment out there and went

00:43:12.100 to the FBI and said, Hey, there's this comment out there and seemingly took screenshots and

00:43:15.780 stuff because YouTube's response was, that's a bad comment.

00:43:19.200 We should delete it.

00:43:19.840 So they deleted his comment and the name of the user was the same as the name of the

00:43:26.440 shooter, which we are not talking about.

00:43:28.760 We're not disclosing at all on this program.

00:43:30.880 At least, uh, at least Pat and I aren't.

00:43:32.740 Um, so, uh, at some point they said, okay, look, we have this name and it was his real

00:43:40.960 name.

00:43:41.260 It wasn't like, yeah, it was, it was like the name.

00:43:43.380 Yeah.

00:43:43.600 So you would think, well, the FBI can track down the guy with his, I don't know, name.

00:43:48.120 Right.

00:43:48.580 You'd think so.

00:43:49.340 Right.

00:43:49.740 And I don't know.

00:43:50.460 I mean, like I'm, I'm a little bit more, uh, forgiving, I think on these things, because

00:43:57.120 you think about the, how does this work with the FBI?

00:44:00.200 They're getting thousands and thousands and thousands of these tips every day.

00:44:05.320 99% of them mean nothing and don't lead to anything.

00:44:09.500 Right.

00:44:10.020 So you get this, they don't know where the person was.

00:44:13.380 This isn't an entirely, uh, uncommon name though.

00:44:16.960 The spelling was a little bit uncommon, more uncommon, but it's not an uncommon name.

00:44:21.120 And so they didn't, but they didn't know it was in Florida.

00:44:23.480 They didn't know it was this person's name from Florida.

00:44:26.460 They didn't know where he was.

00:44:28.720 Uh, they didn't know anything other than just the screenshot.

00:44:33.880 Plus YouTube had deleted the comment.

00:44:35.580 So they would have had to go through and, you know, I guess get some sort of subpoena or

00:44:40.700 some sort of warrant to get the information of the IP address and then track the IP address.

00:44:46.120 And I think the thought was, um, there's not enough to go on.

00:44:51.940 We have one YouTube comment.

00:44:53.220 What is that big FBI email collector?

00:44:56.760 We always hear about though.

00:44:58.020 It's a big program where they can, there's many of them, right?

00:45:01.860 Yeah.

00:45:02.560 Yeah.

00:45:02.760 Prism.

00:45:03.440 Yeah.

00:45:04.000 There's Edward Snowden programs.

00:45:05.800 Something else too.

00:45:06.560 There's, there's several of these things and you would think, well, one of those could

00:45:10.080 have been employed and maybe they tracked the guy down.

00:45:12.980 I don't know.

00:45:13.540 Well, they had his name, his actual name.

00:45:18.100 Now, I mentioned yesterday that they, you know, maybe you should have done more than

00:45:22.540 they did.

00:45:23.020 And somebody said, well, what do you want them to put him on jail?

00:45:25.300 Just on the comment?

00:45:26.100 Well, no, but you show up and you talk to the guy.

00:45:30.180 If somebody makes a threat against the president, the secret service certainly shows up and talks

00:45:34.460 to you and just kind of assesses where they think you might be.

00:45:38.900 Where's your head at right now?

00:45:40.300 Yeah.

00:45:40.660 And, and the, and if the FBI had done that and somebody was onto him, does that alter what

00:45:47.080 he plans to do?

00:45:48.120 I don't know.

00:45:48.980 I don't know.

00:45:49.640 Maybe.

00:45:50.080 I mean, you certainly would like to take the risk, right?

00:45:52.660 We know how it turned out when they didn't do it.

00:45:54.340 Yeah.

00:45:54.640 Which was not positive.

00:45:55.600 You know, they did call back the guy who reported it and they talked to him about it,

00:45:59.440 but he had no information.

00:46:00.600 He just saw a comment.

00:46:01.960 And so, you know, and I think that I'm a little bit, with all these threats coming in and so

00:46:08.300 much that they're dealing with, they see this one comment and there's so many people online

00:46:12.640 that say all sorts of crazy crap.

00:46:14.080 I mean, we get death threats every day on social media.

00:46:17.560 We could call the FBI on these things every day.

00:46:19.820 They're going to check out every one of them.

00:46:21.640 I mean, of course not.

00:46:23.000 Right.

00:46:23.280 I mean, they can't, you know, and 99.5%.

00:46:25.600 99.9% of them are just people being jerks because they think they're anonymous and they

00:46:30.180 can throw their stuff around.

00:46:31.380 Now, this guy put his name out there.

00:46:33.060 So you'd think that's a strange step and maybe that warrants more examination, but I think

00:46:39.140 it's true if, let's say they knew where the person was.

00:46:42.040 Let's say he had Florida next to his name and they went to Florida, found the guy, went

00:46:46.340 to him, said, did you post this comment?

00:46:48.140 Yeah.

00:46:48.480 I mean, I was just screwing around though.

00:46:50.080 I just, I mean, I shouldn't have done it.

00:46:51.500 I mean, just that, you know, he hadn't actually done a school shooting, right?

00:46:56.620 And even if you assess him and you say, this guy's a little bit of a danger, then what

00:46:59.860 do you do?

00:47:00.680 He hasn't shot anybody.

00:47:02.960 He, I mean, I guess the Democrats here.

00:47:05.620 I don't know, but do you have probable cause to search his house and find his weapons cash?

00:47:10.660 But maybe he doesn't, I mean, he didn't at that time have the weapons cash, right?

00:47:14.820 And so I think Democrats would say here, if someone posts a comment like that, you put

00:47:19.980 them on a list that means that they can't purchase firearms, right?

00:47:23.260 Like this would be one of their steps, I would say, right?

00:47:25.740 They, cause they said the same thing with terrorists.

00:47:27.520 They said the same thing with anyone who has any hint of mental illness.

00:47:30.040 I mean, I love the idea cause this, this spreads fast.

00:47:32.240 Adam Lanza had a hint of a mental illness.

00:47:34.640 He didn't buy any weapons.

00:47:35.780 His mom did.

00:47:36.400 So now you're everyone in his house, anyone in the house that has someone with a mental

00:47:40.260 illness, you're not allowed to have, um, uh, firearm purchases.

00:47:44.840 So that can expand very quickly.

00:47:46.920 And it's why Republicans and conservatives and people who care about the second amendment

00:47:50.100 are so hesitant to go anywhere near these things because they can escalate so quickly.

00:47:55.160 But even if you go there, Pat, and you say, Hey, look, you know, you posted this comment

00:47:59.240 and that person says, well, you know, I mean, I shouldn't have done it.

00:48:02.180 I was just trolling on the internet, stupid.

00:48:04.140 And then two years later, he, he goes in and shoots up a bunch of people.

00:48:08.340 You're going to look incompetent in retrospect, but there's probably 50,000 of these people

00:48:12.720 with the same exact thing happened that they didn't check out that didn't wind up shooting

00:48:15.720 people.

00:48:16.380 And now we're kind of looking back in reverse engineering what they should have done when

00:48:21.300 the job is a lot more difficult than I think that, you know, we were just kind of throwing

00:48:25.340 out there.

00:48:26.340 The, and I go back and forth on this because part of me sees this Edward Snowden vision of

00:48:32.200 they have every piece of information and they can do whatever they want.

00:48:34.840 And part of me sees this sort of generally speaking, I don't know, incompetent group

00:48:40.820 of people that like, Oh, they, he said he's going to kill someone.

00:48:43.400 Ah, just throw that one in the trash.

00:48:45.520 We'll deal with that later.

00:48:46.640 Neither one of those is accurate.

00:48:47.900 I'm sure.

00:48:48.740 You know, there's something in the middle there.

00:48:50.060 And, uh, but it is really frustrating when the guy under his real name said the thing

00:48:59.660 he was going to do publicly.

00:49:01.460 Yeah.

00:49:02.060 And the FBI was alerted and still there's nothing we can do.

00:49:05.800 Yeah.

00:49:06.280 That's really frustrating, especially God forbid you're one of the parents of these kids and

00:49:10.560 you hear that story.

00:49:12.020 Wait a minute.

00:49:12.860 He said he was going to do it online under his real name.

00:49:16.520 You actually saw it.

00:49:18.340 It wasn't like it just happened and you missed it.

00:49:20.260 Right.

00:49:20.320 You were actually alerted to it and you still didn't do anything.

00:49:23.240 That is really frustrating.

00:49:25.720 It is frustrating.

00:49:26.720 It is.

00:49:27.820 888-727-BECK.

00:49:30.220 More patents due for Glenn.

00:49:31.400 Come on up.

00:49:32.100 There's a reason we've been talking to you about LifeLock's identity theft protection for,

00:49:35.660 I mean, how many years now?

00:49:37.020 Back in the day, it was probably one in 10 people who have experienced identity theft.

00:49:41.660 Now it's one in four and increasing all the time.

00:49:43.960 But LifeLock can help detect the threats to your identity that you might miss by just

00:49:48.020 monitoring your credit.

00:49:49.960 Christian, a sound engineer, he joined LifeLock because he said, look, from my perspective,

00:49:55.500 I know my information's out there.

00:49:57.120 I don't like that fact, but it is the reality of the situation.

00:50:00.700 In 2014, he decided he had joined already.

00:50:04.560 And in 2014, it kind of paid off because he got an alert from LifeLock.

00:50:09.300 That alert said, hey, somebody opened five cell phone accounts under your name.

00:50:13.520 Did you just really want to talk to a lot of people?

00:50:16.020 Did you make that decision?

00:50:17.280 Also, a department store credit card.

00:50:18.960 They were opening his name and he called LifeLock and they said, look, sit back, relax,

00:50:23.660 we'll take care of it.

00:50:24.520 And they did.

00:50:25.360 Now he's a member for life.

00:50:26.960 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:50:30.920 You don't have to deal with identity theft on your own, though.

00:50:47.940 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:50:57.020 Glenn Beck.

00:50:58.580 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, Triple A.

00:51:01.140 727 Beck.

00:51:03.660 I don't know that I've ever heard a less self-aware, more outrageous, or hypocritically ironic statement

00:51:15.120 than the one that came from Senator Kamala Harris.

00:51:19.760 It is just absolutely astounding what she said about this shooting.

00:51:25.360 And you might think when you hear what she said, she was actually speaking about something else.

00:51:32.360 But no, she's talking about gun control, of course, in the wake of this shooting.

00:51:39.940 Here's what she had to say.

00:51:40.820 It's going to sound a bit harsh.

00:51:43.440 As a prosecutor for years in appreciating homicide.

00:51:49.280 Kind of a strange statement.

00:51:50.380 She appreciates homicide?

00:51:51.760 Wait, who appreciates homicide?

00:51:53.640 A very strange statement.

00:51:55.200 Being able to talk with a judge about it and a jury about it, I had to look at autopsy photographs.

00:52:02.040 When you see the effect of this extreme violence on a human body, and especially the body of a child,

00:52:11.080 maybe it will shock some people into understanding this cannot be a political issue.

00:52:15.960 We have to be practical.

00:52:17.680 I support the Second Amendment.

00:52:19.500 But we have to have smart gun safety laws.

00:52:22.920 And we cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.

00:52:31.680 We, wow.

00:52:34.420 We can't support a society or live in a civilization with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.

00:52:43.680 They don't seem to have any problem with 60 million babies having been slaughtered in the last 45 years since Roe v. Wade.

00:52:54.740 You can't use the word babies when you're pandering to your gun control crowd.

00:52:59.680 You can't use that word.

00:53:00.820 Right.

00:53:00.940 It's not a good word for you.

00:53:01.960 And when you have a 100% rating from NARAL, you shouldn't be talking about babies and the slaughter thereof.

00:53:09.940 There is no bigger slaughter than the slaughter of American babies in the last 45 years.

00:53:18.700 50, literally 58,586,256 abortions since 1973.

00:53:25.120 Nothing on earth has killed more people other than communism.

00:53:30.880 Communism and infectious disease.

00:53:32.220 Maybe infectious disease.

00:53:33.560 Yeah.

00:53:34.180 That's about it.

00:53:35.420 This is third.

00:53:36.400 And nothing in the United States of America, nothing has killed more people than 58 million.

00:53:42.780 And I will say, too.

00:53:43.580 It's the biggest slaughter in American history.

00:53:45.400 There's no question about that.

00:53:46.660 As you point out, 58 million is just the American number.

00:53:48.900 Right.

00:53:49.080 That's just a global number.

00:53:50.240 It does exceed capitalism or communism.

00:53:52.500 I'll bet it does.

00:53:53.200 And it does exceed probably infectious disease is a pretty bad one.

00:53:57.740 Maybe in the last century.

00:53:59.280 Sure.

00:53:59.600 For sure.

00:54:00.080 Sure.

00:54:00.360 Right.

00:54:00.680 Sure.

00:54:00.940 I mean, you wouldn't include the Middle Ages with that.

00:54:02.820 But in the last 100 years, nothing has killed more people than abortion.

00:54:06.800 Nothing.

00:54:07.520 Nothing has slaughtered more babies, to use her term.

00:54:11.100 I mean, that is phenomenal that she chose those words when she has no problem with the slaughter of babies.

00:54:18.300 Now, would she look at the footage?

00:54:19.720 Because she's all about looking at autopsy photos.

00:54:22.720 Would she look at the fetus truck photos?

00:54:25.080 Right.

00:54:25.180 There's always the truck that drives around near the Super Bowl that has the big picture of a fetus that had been dismembered on the side of it to try to impact people on abortion.

00:54:35.480 Does she look at those?

00:54:36.480 I mean, that's really fascinating because she says a bunch of things here that we should adopt and use in this discussion.

00:54:45.460 Let's listen one more time and really kind of dissect what you said.

00:54:48.520 Does that sound a bit harsh?

00:54:49.200 This might sound harsh.

00:54:51.820 No, it doesn't sound harsh.

00:54:52.840 It sounds like you're a massive hypocrite.

00:54:55.020 That's what it sounds like.

00:54:55.520 As a prosecutor for years in appreciating homicide and being able to talk with a judge about it and a jury about it.

00:55:03.800 I had to look at autopsy photographs.

00:55:07.980 When you see the effect of this extreme violence on a human body, and especially the body of a child.

00:55:16.640 Right.

00:55:17.020 Or a baby.

00:55:18.520 An infant.

00:55:19.480 A fetus.

00:55:20.140 Maybe it will shock some people into understanding.

00:55:22.720 Maybe it will shock people into understanding.

00:55:24.720 This is exactly why the people who show the photos of aborted babies, this is exactly why they do it.

00:55:32.780 To shock people into understanding.

00:55:35.420 And yet, they're treated like freaks.

00:55:37.720 Is Kamala Harris going to be treated as a freak here?

00:55:40.220 No.

00:55:40.920 This cannot be a political issue.

00:55:42.740 Oh, and I love that.

00:55:44.180 This can't be a political issue.

00:55:46.620 Abortion can't be a political issue.

00:55:49.400 We have to be practical.

00:55:50.220 We have to be practical about this.

00:55:52.480 We've slaughtered 58 million babies in 45 years.

00:55:57.280 We've got to stop the slaughter of babies.

00:56:00.280 It's not a political issue.

00:56:01.940 This is not about left or right.

00:56:03.860 This is about right and wrong.

00:56:05.760 This is about the slaughter of our children.

00:56:08.720 This is about the slaughter of minorities.

00:56:11.620 In a place like New York City, where more black babies are aborted than born,

00:56:18.500 we've got to stop that slaughter.

00:56:22.340 We've got to stop it.

00:56:24.260 It's true.

00:56:24.880 I mean, it's funny because there's that constant call from the left to call Republicans racists,

00:56:33.180 right?

00:56:33.400 People who are the right racists.

00:56:36.020 Let's implement all of our policies.

00:56:38.020 Let's implement the craziest fringe stuff from all of our policies in which there is no race-based

00:56:44.860 preference at all.

00:56:46.220 They talk about that with affirmative action or preference in schools, like getting admission

00:56:50.460 to colleges.

00:56:51.160 What if we repealed all of that?

00:56:52.800 What if all of that went away, right?

00:56:55.380 The other part is you'd have to implement our idea that we shouldn't abort children.

00:56:59.480 And so millions and millions of black people who are currently dead would instead be alive.

00:57:04.240 So your policies are ones that result in black people being dead.

00:57:07.840 Our policies result in them being alive.

00:57:10.660 Who is racist here?

00:57:12.000 I bet it's such an, it's such a ridiculous argument from, from the left.

00:57:17.900 I support the second amendment, but we have to have, we have to have smart gun safety.

00:57:23.100 I support choice.

00:57:23.820 I support the choice of a woman, but we have to, we have to understand that there's another

00:57:28.700 life at stake here.

00:57:29.840 There's a whole separate DNA strand inside your body, which is a separate body from yours.

00:57:36.960 We have to understand that.

00:57:38.600 Now I support your choice, but you made that choice when you got pregnant, you know, in

00:57:44.440 most choices.

00:57:45.640 If you didn't make that choice, then, you know, we've got a different issue, but, but I support

00:57:52.340 your right to choose at a certain step, but we got to have some common sense about this

00:57:58.260 too, because we can't continue the slaughter of 58 million babies.

00:58:03.260 And we cannot tolerate a society and, and, and live in a country with any level of pride

00:58:08.860 when our babies are being slaughtered.

00:58:10.860 Wow.

00:58:12.100 I mean, she's just given us all kinds of ammunition there.

00:58:16.300 All kinds.

00:58:18.720 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K can't support the slaughter.

00:58:23.180 And we can't be proud in a nation that allows the slaughter of babies.

00:58:27.940 Fascinating.

00:58:29.120 Just fascinating, but we're the bad people.

00:58:33.340 We're trying to take away people's right to choose.

00:58:40.860 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:58:52.360 I have the same pattern every year.

00:58:54.100 Uh, I start off the year eating pretty good and, and, and maybe dropping a few pounds from

00:58:58.540 the holidays and then Superbowl comes around and I blow it all over again.

00:59:01.780 I kind of, it's kind of a planned part of my life, to be honest about it.

00:59:05.700 But Ridge Zone is helping me bounce back this time.

00:59:08.340 Usually it takes me a month or so to actually bounce back from the, from the Superbowl.

00:59:12.600 Not this year.

00:59:13.400 I'm bouncing back now.

00:59:14.600 I've had a, I've been doing, you know, I've lost what, 10 pounds since the beginning of

00:59:18.040 the year, 12 pounds, something like that.

00:59:19.820 Um, and Ridge Zone helps because it helps, you know, curb your cravings.

00:59:24.800 It helps, uh, your metabolism speed up.

00:59:27.640 And it is a great idea for you.

00:59:47.260 It's hard.

00:59:48.040 Uh, and Ridge Zone can help you.

00:59:49.520 R-I-D-U-Z-O-N-E.com.

00:59:51.580 Offer code stew.

01:00:02.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:00:05.240 With Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:00:08.340 Uh, so 33,000 people are murdered by guns every single year.

01:00:15.200 Isn't it time we finally addressed that?

01:00:18.140 Um, isn't it?

01:00:19.300 Isn't it?

01:00:19.800 I mean, it's way past time.

01:00:21.500 You want to address the fact that it's not actually 33,000 people?

01:00:24.600 Is that what you're saying?

01:00:25.280 No, it's probably what?

01:00:26.020 More like 150,000 or, I don't know, 3.6 million.

01:00:30.600 How many, how many people, uh, are being killed by guns every year in this country?

01:00:35.480 Well, 10 million.

01:00:36.480 The murder statistics don't exactly support the 33,000 number, um, or 32,000 number that's

01:00:44.200 been thrown around a lot by the media lately.

01:00:45.820 It's much, much higher than that, right?

01:00:47.580 Much, much higher than that.

01:00:48.600 No, it's, it's not.

01:00:49.800 It's much lower than that.

01:00:51.200 Um, in fact, considerably lower.

01:00:53.220 Because the thing that they usually leave out of that stat, 32,352 gun deaths is what

01:00:57.740 they, what they talk about from the CDC, uh, 21,175 of them were suicides.

01:01:05.700 Wow.

01:01:06.100 Now, that is an incredible, oh, that's amazing.

01:01:09.040 Incredible statistic because, you know, look, because if you're going to commit suicide,

01:01:14.600 there's a, there's a lot of different ways to do it.

01:01:16.620 You're going to do it another way.

01:01:17.360 That's 65% of these, by the way, 65.4% of the number are suicides.

01:01:22.860 It's right off the bat.

01:01:23.880 Now, look, for example, Japan has a much higher suicide rate than the United States, but almost

01:01:29.720 no guns whatsoever because culturally that's a big deal, uh, there and not a, not a good

01:01:36.220 decision, but it's a, it's a big deal there.

01:01:38.160 So they have a higher suicide rate, but almost no gun crime at all.

01:01:41.980 There's no guns available for people to kill themselves yet.

01:01:44.020 They keep killing themselves somehow.

01:01:45.960 And we all know how those things occur.

01:01:48.300 There's hangings, there's overdoses, there's all sorts of things that you can do to kill yourself

01:01:52.500 it is not, uh, it's not difficult to do if you want to do it.

01:01:57.020 And that is, uh, obviously terrible and tragic, but is not really part of the conversation

01:02:02.300 when it comes to guns.

01:02:03.180 If you want to kill yourself, you can kill yourself in a million different ways.

01:02:06.080 Mm-hmm.

01:02:06.340 So 21,000 of the 32 are suicides.

01:02:11.540 Right.

01:02:12.240 Wow.

01:02:12.740 That's, so that brings it down to like 11,000.

01:02:15.760 Yeah.

01:02:15.920 11,177.

01:02:17.660 Now, if you look at that number a little bit further, uh, 8,583 were murders of various

01:02:25.040 sorts.

01:02:25.360 The remaining, uh, 2,500 were accidents and unintentional injuries.

01:02:30.160 And, uh, uh, which again is, I think you could make an argument that that is part of the gun

01:02:36.220 conversation.

01:02:36.800 Like, you know, there are some people who have accidents, handle guns poorly, they get in

01:02:40.600 the hands of children, whatever the situation is.

01:02:43.000 However, that's not going to be affected by an assault weapons ban, right?

01:02:47.300 A kid who picks up a gun probably isn't going to pick up the AR-15.

01:02:52.160 It's going to be very difficult for them to handle, right?

01:02:54.040 They're going to pick up probably a handgun.

01:02:55.880 Um, and God forbid do something, uh, bad with that.

01:02:58.820 So, really, it's not, it's not, it's part of the gun conversation generally, I think

01:03:03.440 you can fairly say.

01:03:04.500 However, it is not part of the school shooting conversation.

01:03:09.920 Right.

01:03:10.140 Right?

01:03:10.400 It's just, I mean, so it leaves you with 8,583 deaths that were murders.

01:03:16.080 Um, that is, uh, you got to break those down a little bit more as well.

01:03:21.600 Um, let me give you this stat.

01:03:22.740 This is from, uh, a study on this exact thing.

01:03:27.100 Let's see.

01:03:27.580 Hold on.

01:03:28.020 Here it is.

01:03:29.340 A lot of paper here in front of me.

01:03:30.760 Uh, so about what, uh, one study after another shown legally purchased weapons, which follow

01:03:36.520 the, all the normal firearms transfer rules accounted for somewhere between six and eight

01:03:41.460 percent of the murders, six and eight percent.

01:03:45.220 So you round that off to 10, you got about 850 of those murders that actually happened through,

01:03:50.620 uh, legal terms.

01:03:52.720 Now, you know, let's say a person who goes through a background check and does all the things

01:03:56.800 they have to do.

01:03:57.540 Perfect.

01:03:57.940 It's Pat Gray.

01:03:58.980 The perfect citizen.

01:04:00.360 Right.

01:04:00.660 Pat Gray owns, uh, multiple firearms and has them at the house.

01:04:04.360 If someone breaks in and for some reason, uh, they're not kept in your liberty safe for

01:04:09.860 whatever reason and they take, uh, those guns, uh, and they go and kill someone like there's

01:04:16.440 no way a law stops that.

01:04:18.360 The person was willing to break into your home and steal your gun and they are going to go

01:04:23.120 kill someone, uh, outside of that.

01:04:25.380 That's not, there's, there's no background check that covers that problem.

01:04:28.340 It's interesting to know that if you're willing to kill people, you're probably willing to break

01:04:31.900 other laws too.

01:04:32.760 Cause it seems like that's like the highest law, right?

01:04:36.200 Like if there's the one, cause I think there's a lot of people who will say, you know what?

01:04:40.180 Yeah, sure.

01:04:40.560 I'll embezzle from my company.

01:04:41.980 Sure.

01:04:42.340 I'll steal from, I'll steal a purse from someone on the street.

01:04:44.920 Yeah, sure.

01:04:45.600 I will.

01:04:46.160 I'll do all sorts of terrible things, engage in crimes after crime, after crime, but I'm

01:04:51.140 not going to murder somebody.

01:04:52.580 There's a large chunk of the criminal population.

01:04:56.700 That's that does draw the line at murder.

01:04:59.160 I think there's a lot of crimes of convenience.

01:05:01.860 There are crimes of, uh, of, uh, the ability to be able to feed yourself or be able to just

01:05:08.180 want new, a new TV.

01:05:09.520 There's a lot of stuff that you can do crime for, but usually murder is, is, is, it's,

01:05:15.240 it's sort of the ultimate for the ultimate criminals, right?

01:05:19.020 Um, but they say between six and 8% of all murders.

01:05:22.280 So we'll throw it around 800 to 850 of the murders, um, are with legal firearms that

01:05:28.720 are, you know, so maybe if you expanded those laws, you could get a few more.

01:05:31.380 It's possible.

01:05:32.420 Uh, the other side of this is when it comes to murders by rifle.

01:05:37.720 Now, again, they're talking about banning the air 15 assault rifles, Pat.

01:05:41.860 Yeah.

01:05:42.020 They don't break it down like that.

01:05:43.140 Unfortunately, in the CDC numbers, they do break it down to the category of rifles that

01:05:46.480 includes things like bolt action rifles, deer hunting rifles, all sorts of rifles that

01:05:50.680 would not be banned by an assault, assault weapons, uh, legislation.

01:05:54.820 However, that number 2011 of the 8,583 murders, 323 were committed with rifles, 323.

01:06:07.620 Now, overwhelmingly the most murders, if you actually wanted to stop murders, what you would

01:06:11.080 do is go after handguns because handguns are the ones that are usually committing the

01:06:15.860 crimes.

01:06:16.540 Um, however, they're going after AR 15s because this is in our general consciousness right now,

01:06:22.360 right?

01:06:22.580 We keep seeing these mass shootings.

01:06:24.060 We all hate them.

01:06:25.440 I mean, I think there's something like 400 people had been shot since, um, uh, Sandy

01:06:31.240 Hook, including Sandy Hook, um, which, you know, again, by AR 15s, are those all?

01:06:37.020 No, no.

01:06:37.440 Just in mass shootings, mass school shootings.

01:06:39.540 Yeah.

01:06:40.000 Uh, I think it was 400 people had been shot in school shootings.

01:06:43.760 Now that would not include, for example, Vegas, right?

01:06:45.580 There's been other mass shootings that did not happen in schools, but 400 people have been

01:06:48.840 shot at school since, uh, 2000, that was 2012, right?

01:06:53.160 The end of 2012 was Sandy Hook.

01:06:54.900 So you're talking about five years roughly, which would give you about 80 per year, a very

01:07:00.280 terrible number, which is exactly 400 too high, right?

01:07:04.700 Uh, since 2012, the number is 400.

01:07:06.860 It's 400 too high.

01:07:07.840 We all know that.

01:07:08.780 However, it's about one per week, a little over one per week.

01:07:12.080 And there are 100,000 schools in the United States.

01:07:17.040 So can, I'm not saying, you know, I'm a, I'm a parent of two kids in school.

01:07:22.560 Like this is a real issue to me.

01:07:24.780 I'm not dismissing it.

01:07:26.040 It's freaking really important.

01:07:27.480 And I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about these things.

01:07:30.560 Uh, you know, you protect, you're protecting your kid is the most important thing you can

01:07:33.540 do.

01:07:34.240 Um, but can you legislate out one death per week in a hundred thousand schools?

01:07:42.080 I don't know that you can, can you, can you, can you shave a little bit off the edges

01:07:46.600 with certain proposals?

01:07:48.100 Probably, but the proposals they're going after are specifically shown to not work, not

01:07:55.500 only here in America, but also much further reaching proposals that were, uh, enacted in

01:08:01.440 Australia that also didn't work.

01:08:04.260 So I don't know where you go with this.

01:08:05.920 I think there is a part of this that is really uncomfortable.

01:08:09.640 We talked about the, um, the Australia situation.

01:08:12.100 They, they did between about 30% of the guns nationwide.

01:08:16.060 They confiscated and or purchase.

01:08:18.300 It was basically confiscate, confiscate and compensate.

01:08:21.080 They gave you some money, but they took all the guns from you.

01:08:24.440 You had no choice.

01:08:25.340 You weren't willingly selling them.

01:08:26.940 Okay.

01:08:27.800 They took the equivalent here in the United States.

01:08:30.340 It would be about a hundred million guns.

01:08:32.340 Now a hundred, think about the, the, the logistics of a program that confiscates a hundred million

01:08:37.920 guns out of the United States.

01:08:40.120 First of all, that's not happening.

01:08:41.920 Second of all, it would be impossible.

01:08:43.260 Third of all, it'd be insanely expensive to purchase a hundred million guns.

01:08:47.860 If you did that, what would the result be?

01:08:50.200 You'd still have 200 million guns in the United States.

01:08:54.640 And none of the proposals coming out of Washington are even advocating, uh, confiscating these

01:09:02.440 guns.

01:09:02.820 They won't admit to wanting that.

01:09:04.480 They're just saying they won't let you buy new ones and not, you could still buy lots

01:09:08.620 of guns.

01:09:09.040 You just can't buy certain types of guns.

01:09:10.480 So what would the result be?

01:09:11.580 Instead of there being, let's say 300 and 310 million guns.

01:09:14.720 Now you'd have, uh, with no legislation, 320 million guns.

01:09:20.100 Instead, you'd have 319.5 million guns.

01:09:23.100 You think there's really going to be some drop in crime because of that?

01:09:25.980 It's insane.

01:09:26.800 It's insanity.

01:09:27.780 It's, it's, it's, it's a unicorn.

01:09:30.380 You're just wishing you see a horse with a horn walk down the street.

01:09:34.660 It doesn't happen.

01:09:36.540 They, they, they sadly don't exist.

01:09:38.280 Spoiler alert.

01:09:40.140 Thanks for ruining it.

01:09:42.340 What if we did this?

01:09:43.580 What if we, what if we took all of our guns and we fired them all at once and exploded them

01:09:50.580 in space?

01:09:51.400 What if we fired them at the sun?

01:09:52.400 Yeah.

01:09:53.100 What if we just, we take all of, we take the world in a love embrace.

01:09:58.020 Okay.

01:09:58.740 Take, fire all of our guns at once and explode them in space.

01:10:01.860 That sounds like an interesting proposal.

01:10:03.600 Do you have anything further on what would happen?

01:10:06.300 Then we'd be like a, like a true nature's child where, where we were born, let's say

01:10:11.660 born to be wild.

01:10:13.560 We could climb so high.

01:10:15.500 Right.

01:10:15.800 We'd never want to die.

01:10:17.500 Well, and wouldn't have to with all the guns taken at once and exploded into space.

01:10:23.320 You wouldn't have to.

01:10:24.120 Right.

01:10:24.300 Or like is suggested by, by another group of wonderful people who have come up with incredible

01:10:32.080 plans.

01:10:32.560 What if all of the bomber jet planes above our nation turn into butterflies?

01:10:37.040 They just turn into butterflies above our nation.

01:10:39.260 Is there a specific legislation that would make this occur?

01:10:42.120 Do we have anything that's been sketched out?

01:10:44.020 It's not stock legislation, I think.

01:10:46.000 Okay.

01:10:46.300 It's the protest song of the 60s legislation.

01:10:49.740 We just make it happen.

01:10:51.340 We just make it happen.

01:10:53.300 I think it'd be wonderful.

01:10:55.060 Don't you?

01:10:55.620 I do.

01:10:56.340 I do.

01:10:57.320 It would just be wonderful.

01:10:59.100 It would be great to have all of the violent power in the hands of the government because

01:11:04.140 no government has ever misused it.

01:11:05.940 People don't realize that.

01:11:06.920 Correct.

01:11:07.800 They are, you know, now sure, you could look back at history in those dusty old books and

01:11:13.640 dig up an example or two of 20 million people dead here, 7 million people dead here, 60

01:11:20.640 million people dead over there, 1.2 million dead over there.

01:11:24.840 I mean, you can find examples occasionally.

01:11:28.360 Oh, if you're a stickler.

01:11:29.680 Yeah.

01:11:29.920 Yeah.

01:11:30.140 If you really, if you want to be a nerd and you just want to read big, thick black books

01:11:34.880 of communism that tell you the stories of, you know, millions of people dying when they're

01:11:41.640 an unarmed resistance against the government that has all the weapons.

01:11:44.720 I mean, you can find the example if you, if, if all you have to do all day is search for

01:11:52.620 it.

01:11:53.140 Okay.

01:11:53.860 Maybe you could dig up a couple of times where government went wrong and rolled over its population

01:12:00.920 because it, it came up with a reason, um, whether it was their own power or some ideology or

01:12:08.080 some, uh, you know, religious fervor.

01:12:11.900 Sure.

01:12:12.300 You can dig them up, but I think if we're all going to be rational and we're going to come

01:12:18.760 up with common sense measures, the exploding the guns into space is the way to go.

01:12:23.860 That's the way to go.

01:12:24.680 And the planes into butterflies.

01:12:26.780 Right.

01:12:27.740 Right.

01:12:28.420 I mean, you know, those bomber death planes riding shotgun in the sky.

01:12:34.060 If they're turned into butterflies above our nation, we'd just be a world of peace then.

01:12:39.540 Right.

01:12:40.220 Or we'd be completely unarmed.

01:12:42.160 And then Russia and China would swoop in and crush us.

01:12:46.560 I will say not to mention, I'm not sure which we would have a massive problem with giant

01:12:50.880 butterflies.

01:12:51.800 That would be terrifying.

01:12:54.040 Can you imagine that?

01:12:55.840 You ever see Mothra?

01:12:57.300 That's what happens in those situations.

01:12:59.640 It doesn't turn out well.

01:13:01.180 You just get killed by massive butterflies instead.

01:13:05.100 Butterflies are just insects with pretty wings.

01:13:07.900 Okay.

01:13:08.500 Well, it's better to be killed by a butterfly though than a jet plane, right?

01:13:12.160 A bomber jet plane?

01:13:13.540 I think it would be way more creepy.

01:13:15.640 I mean, a bomb drops on you.

01:13:17.000 It's instant.

01:13:17.580 And this is like the equivalent of like, what was that William Shatner attack on the killer

01:13:22.240 spiders where they all just kind of creepy crawly you all over the place?

01:13:25.200 Imagine what would happen if we took the thousands of planes in the sky and converted them into

01:13:29.520 airplane sized butterflies.

01:13:31.020 This is a terrible policy.

01:13:32.920 Why?

01:13:33.860 What happened?

01:13:34.760 You realize this.

01:13:36.500 50 years of this policy existing and no one's called out.

01:13:39.360 And nobody has ever.

01:13:40.160 The problem with, I don't know, creating thousands of giant butterflies that are the sizes of 747s.

01:13:46.360 You know what?

01:13:47.800 When I think about it that way, it's not that great an idea.

01:13:50.800 It really isn't.

01:13:51.700 888-727-BECK.

01:13:54.640 You're going to sleep well tonight.

01:13:57.100 No nightmares are coming your way.

01:13:59.740 Well, you know what?

01:14:00.380 Maybe they won't if you have a Casper.

01:14:01.800 If you have a great night's sleep every single night.

01:14:03.980 Maybe you don't dream about giant butterfly attacks, but it does happen to some.

01:14:07.960 A team of engineer at Casper's, they've worked nonstop prototyping, collecting data, and engineering

01:14:12.860 what is the most comfortable mattress you can purchase.

01:14:16.120 I mean, this is all the best technology.

01:14:18.000 It has a unique combination of foams that provide the pressure relief and alignment so

01:14:21.980 you feel perfectly balanced and comfortable.

01:14:24.020 And that's what you need when you want to get some sleep.

01:14:26.360 Try Casper yourself.

01:14:28.100 Because their point is like, yeah, we have the best mattress there is.

01:14:31.620 But you know what?

01:14:32.580 We'll take the risk here.

01:14:33.500 Because we're going to put this mattress in your home for 100 nights, and you can try

01:14:37.020 it risk-free.

01:14:37.960 Sleep on it.

01:14:38.840 If you don't love it, well, they'll take it back.

01:14:42.140 They'll ship the box.

01:14:43.400 They ship it to you in this gigantic, it's a really cool thing that they do with the box,

01:14:47.380 which is something Glenn's talked about, but it's for free.

01:14:49.500 And by doing this, they've eliminated the middleman, and they've saved all the money

01:14:52.520 for you.

01:14:53.540 Plus, if you don't love it, you don't have to put it back in the tiny box.

01:14:56.080 They've come to pick it up, and they will refund you for everything.

01:14:59.760 No questions asked.

01:15:00.480 This President's Day, not only is Casper saving you from long lines during the holiday

01:15:04.700 weekend, you'll also save $125 on purchases over $1,250, and $200 on purchases over $2,000.

01:15:11.220 Don't miss out.

01:15:11.920 Take advantage of the special limited-time offer by going to Casper.com.

01:15:15.960 That's Casper.com.

01:15:18.320 Terms and conditions apply.

01:15:21.480 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:15:30.480 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:15:36.340 Hopefully, he's back on Monday.

01:15:38.740 There's another interesting report of another Playboy playmate who claims to have had an

01:15:46.580 affair with Donald Trump back in 2006.

01:15:49.520 He was very reportedly busy in 2006.

01:15:53.000 Yeah.

01:15:54.020 Apparently, at the same golf tournament he was dealing with Stormy Daniels, he also apparently

01:16:01.000 hooked up with, by her word, Karen McDougal, a slim brunette who had been named Playmate

01:16:07.380 of the Year eight years later.

01:16:08.520 She actually was voted runner-up for Playmate of the 90s.

01:16:11.760 An honor that...

01:16:13.160 A runner-up.

01:16:13.500 Imagine if your daughter could turn into Playmate of the 90s.

01:16:15.120 A runner-up to Pam Anderson only.

01:16:16.260 Only Pam Anderson beat her.

01:16:17.320 So, that's huge.

01:16:18.700 That's fantastic.

01:16:20.100 And so, she, again, has very detailed notes, about 12 pages of handwritten notes that she

01:16:26.280 wrote down, I guess, at the time, and then somehow, and we'll put somehow in quotes.

01:16:32.480 I mean, I'm sure she wanted it to get out, but somehow, it made its way to one of her

01:16:37.360 friends who turned it over to Ronan Farrow, the guy who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

01:16:42.720 And so, now that's blowing up to yet another one of these scandals.

01:16:46.200 White House, of course, has denied it.

01:16:48.360 Yep.

01:16:48.460 They called it an old story, just more fake news.

01:16:58.940 Glenn Beck.

01:17:00.960 Mercury.

01:17:06.780 Love.

01:17:07.980 Courage.

01:17:09.720 Truth.

01:17:11.440 Glenn Beck.

01:17:13.040 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:17:15.020 Hopefully, he'll be better by Monday, I would expect.

01:17:18.120 So, even if he's not, he needs to get in here, because he's been faking it all week.

01:17:21.800 We all know that this started on Valentine's Day.

01:17:24.800 Yep.

01:17:25.140 And he's just perpetuating it now.

01:17:27.300 We all know what he's doing.

01:17:29.360 Yeah.

01:17:29.780 He didn't get anything for Tanya.

01:17:33.180 So, oh, I'm sick.

01:17:36.140 And it was just to buy time.

01:17:38.980 And he's probably sending somebody out to scramble and find something at the last minute.

01:17:43.660 Right.

01:17:43.960 And he didn't have anything ready for Valentine's Day.

01:17:47.060 And then you can't just, you have to, if you're faking that you're sick enough to miss

01:17:50.880 Valentine's Day, you can't just happen to be a one-day illness.

01:17:53.140 No, it's got to be, you're really sick.

01:17:54.920 And then he's like, you know, it's Friday.

01:17:55.960 I mean, you're really sick.

01:17:57.140 Let him go back on Friday?

01:17:59.020 No.

01:17:59.540 You know, I think I need those two days to rest up to get my, you know, to get recharged

01:18:05.200 for Monday.

01:18:06.000 I think that's the way he's thinking.

01:18:07.660 And I mean, obviously, we all understand what he's doing.

01:18:11.080 But it's disappointing.

01:18:13.180 It is disappointing.

01:18:13.860 Disappointing.

01:18:14.260 As is CNN's effort to use some of the, some of the kids from Parkland High to push forward

01:18:22.320 their gun control agenda.

01:18:25.240 The interview that Allison Camerota did with two of the students, just, to me, this is

01:18:31.660 just despicable.

01:18:33.180 It's just despicable.

01:18:35.160 Listen to this.

01:18:36.360 I mean, is this not just trying to push them into saying what you want them to say?

01:18:41.700 You also have lost people.

01:18:44.140 You also endured all of this and you were inside.

01:18:47.040 And so when people like, you know, this conservative firebrand, Tommy Lauren, tell you how you should

01:18:54.040 feel and what you can talk about today.

01:18:56.960 Let me read the tweet.

01:18:57.940 That's not what she did.

01:18:59.180 Wait till she reads the tweet.

01:19:00.680 You tell me if this is what she was doing.

01:19:03.420 Was she telling them how to feel?

01:19:05.160 That got you upset from Tommy Lauren.

01:19:07.080 It says here, can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push

01:19:12.260 their anti-gun, anti-gun owner agenda?

01:19:15.580 My goodness.

01:19:16.560 This isn't about a gun.

01:19:17.880 It's about another lunatic.

01:19:19.460 Now, at no point did Tommy say anything like what she was accused of there.

01:19:23.240 Nothing.

01:19:23.420 Nothing at all.

01:19:24.360 She's talking about politicians and people who are trying to push for policy.

01:19:28.480 Not about the victim's families.

01:19:30.000 And she's not telling them how to feel in any way.

01:19:32.160 In any way.

01:19:32.800 I think when you read that.

01:19:33.620 I just got angry like she she's trying to use like left and right.

01:19:38.560 I don't think it's about any sides of the of political parties or anything.

01:19:43.400 It's about children died.

01:19:45.780 Like it doesn't matter what what side of the gun control argument you're on.

01:19:52.000 Like people are dead.

01:19:53.240 And when is the right time to talk about this?

01:19:55.000 Wait, hold on.

01:19:55.360 So because I mean, I understand it isn't about left and right when it comes to people dying.

01:19:59.220 We all want to stop it.

01:20:00.160 And I assume we're all on the same pack part there.

01:20:03.760 The same part of that argument.

01:20:04.960 The issue is we don't agree on how to do it.

01:20:07.760 Right.

01:20:08.080 So that's where the left and right come in.

01:20:10.280 So it does.

01:20:11.020 Like you can't say it doesn't matter where you stand on gun control.

01:20:14.080 Of course it matters.

01:20:14.500 We just need to implement gun control.

01:20:16.360 Well, that's not a good.

01:20:17.420 It does matter where you stand on gun control.

01:20:19.540 If your end game is gun control.

01:20:22.300 Yeah.

01:20:22.700 And that's what it is.

01:20:23.580 Yeah.

01:20:23.660 I think any time I think it's right now, I think it's two days ago, we have to talk

01:20:29.040 about it because there's no, it's, it's already too late to change.

01:20:33.720 That's great to get these 16 year old kids involved in this discussion in the middle of

01:20:38.020 a tragedy, something they in the middle of a tragedy where their emotions are all high

01:20:41.880 and they, and it's an issue they don't know anything about.

01:20:44.640 No, I mean, look, that's not, that's not a knock on these particular kids.

01:20:47.380 It's like, I know, I didn't know anything about it either when I was 18 years old.

01:20:50.660 Right.

01:20:50.880 That's not something, it takes time to understand the world.

01:20:54.060 That's why they don't vote, right?

01:20:54.880 At 16.

01:20:55.700 They don't have the life experience.

01:20:57.100 They don't have the knowledge.

01:20:58.300 They don't understand the world enough to vote at 16 years old.

01:21:02.180 That's why they don't vote.

01:21:03.060 And so is there a value to talking to someone who survived a terrible thing like that?

01:21:07.120 Yes.

01:21:07.680 To try to convince them to accept your particular policy prescription in that moment is a terrible

01:21:13.060 idea.

01:21:13.980 And again, this is why we don't, the whole thing is, what did they ask her about?

01:21:18.160 When you saw Tommy's tweet, how did you feel?

01:21:19.980 I felt anger.

01:21:21.560 Well, that is not a good decision-making time, right?

01:21:24.360 When you're feeling angry, you're feeling emotional.

01:21:27.220 This is not the time that you make your best decisions.

01:21:29.880 And the idea that you're going to bring them on as, let's be honest, the way they're using,

01:21:34.080 and this is not just CNN, a lot of networks are doing this, but they're using these children

01:21:38.060 as props.

01:21:39.180 They're using them as props.

01:21:40.300 Hey, hey, convince everybody that because we're trying to draw on everyone's emotions.

01:21:45.440 It's despicable.

01:21:46.000 Try to convince everybody to sign up for my gun control legislation, the thing I'm wanting

01:21:51.120 to push.

01:21:52.180 And the last thing in there is, when is it the right time to talk about this?

01:21:56.420 When is it the right time to talk about this?

01:21:58.120 And everyone keeps saying the same thing.

01:21:59.400 Well, it's a new battle cry.

01:22:00.360 Because they are offended when you say what Tommy said, which was just, hey, let's have

01:22:07.240 a couple minutes of grieving before we start jumping into raising money for your activist

01:22:12.200 group.

01:22:12.620 That's all she's saying.

01:22:13.480 It's a completely defensible position.

01:22:15.680 But now the left is pushing back on that, saying, well, we should have been talking about

01:22:18.960 this a long time ago.

01:22:19.620 We should talk about it right now.

01:22:21.220 There's two things there.

01:22:21.900 You're right.

01:22:22.380 Now is not the time.

01:22:23.700 Right.

01:22:23.980 Last week or last year.

01:22:25.460 Last year or 10 years ago was the exact same thing the other night.

01:22:28.560 But first of all, it is not the right time to jump into policy because of what we just

01:22:37.380 talked about.

01:22:38.200 It's an emotional time and you don't make your best decisions when you're emotional.

01:22:42.020 We talked about this with right after 9-11, the Patriot Act, right?

01:22:45.320 Did we, whether you like the Patriot Act or not, did we have a real debate about every

01:22:49.960 part of that?

01:22:50.460 The answer to that was no.

01:22:51.500 We passed it in like a, it seemed like five minutes.

01:22:53.980 Because it was an emotional thing.

01:22:55.100 It was an emotional thing.

01:22:56.100 And we were scared.

01:22:57.080 Our emotion at that time was fear.

01:22:59.000 And the emotion here is also fear.

01:23:00.880 It was fear and anger combined.

01:23:02.480 And fear and anger don't combine to good policy.

01:23:05.100 And we know that in our homes, when you, you don't make decisions, every time you get

01:23:10.520 in a fight with your wife, you don't say, oh, well, we're getting divorced.

01:23:13.180 You don't make policy decisions at that moment.

01:23:15.500 You let yourself cool down.

01:23:16.740 We don't go to bed angry.

01:23:17.780 Something as unimportant as grocery shopping.

01:23:20.100 They tell you not to do it when you're hungry.

01:23:21.680 Why?

01:23:22.200 Because you'll make stupid purchases.

01:23:23.780 How much more important is this?

01:23:27.280 It's a great point.

01:23:28.860 It's a great point.

01:23:29.940 And it's just, it's just frustrating that they, they drag in real, you know, victims and people

01:23:35.080 who went through this to try to accentuate this point.

01:23:37.560 Because what they're doing, the reason why they want to talk about it now, the reason

01:23:41.140 why they feel like today is the most important day.

01:23:44.460 And they will admit this to you.

01:23:46.120 It's because never let a crisis go to waste.

01:23:48.520 They know if they wait, people will start thinking with their brains instead of their

01:23:52.640 hearts.

01:23:53.240 And they need you to think with your hearts and your emotions to get these things done.

01:23:56.640 Because when you use your brain, you don't want to use their policies.

01:24:00.800 Their policies don't make sense when it's brain time.

01:24:03.440 When it's heart time and it's emotion time and it's feels time, then it feels like maybe

01:24:09.140 we should do those things.

01:24:10.260 Then you realize you've got to do something.

01:24:12.700 Something.

01:24:13.320 Even if it's not the right thing, we've got to do something.

01:24:16.040 Let's just do something.

01:24:17.600 Just to prove to people that we care about these things.

01:24:20.180 We need to do something.

01:24:21.340 Something.

01:24:22.960 One thing.

01:24:23.840 Anything.

01:24:24.520 Something.

01:24:25.120 And you'll notice it's never accompanied with specific policy prescriptions.

01:24:29.540 Never.

01:24:29.720 It's just something.

01:24:30.940 And if you want any more specific than that, it's gun control.

01:24:34.820 Right?

01:24:35.260 Yeah.

01:24:35.400 It's gun control.

01:24:35.940 Common sense gun control.

01:24:37.040 Common sense gun control.

01:24:37.740 Common sense gun control.

01:24:37.900 Common sense reform.

01:24:38.620 Yep.

01:24:38.980 Because gun control is bad.

01:24:40.920 Everybody knows that's not allowed, frankly, by the U.S.

01:24:46.040 Constitution, which says that it shall not, our right to keep and bear arms shall not

01:24:51.700 be infringed.

01:24:52.840 Well, there's a lot of wiggle room in that phrase, though.

01:24:54.580 A lot.

01:24:55.140 Shall not be infringed.

01:24:56.540 A lot, except for none.

01:24:58.500 None.

01:24:58.980 None.

01:24:59.620 No wiggle room.

01:25:00.280 There's no wiggle room.

01:25:01.140 Shall not be infringed is pretty clear.

01:25:03.700 We already have in this country created a lot of wiggle room that isn't there.

01:25:07.160 Yeah.

01:25:07.500 Okay?

01:25:08.000 We have.

01:25:08.420 You know, and now they want to create more of it.

01:25:10.900 And we've accepted that.

01:25:12.320 And even the right has accepted that.

01:25:14.500 Okay.

01:25:14.680 Well, we've done certain things like, all right, can you own a bazooka?

01:25:18.780 Well, no, you can't.

01:25:19.820 Can you own a tank?

01:25:21.020 No.

01:25:21.360 Okay.

01:25:21.760 You can't own a tank.

01:25:23.260 Can you own a machine gun?

01:25:25.500 Well, okay.

01:25:26.100 No, you can't have that either.

01:25:28.760 Can you own a weapon of war, though?

01:25:32.860 Oh, no.

01:25:34.060 Can you own a scary-looking weapon of war and literally a weapon of mass destruction?

01:25:43.160 An AR-15.

01:25:44.840 Can you own that?

01:25:46.060 Well, millions do.

01:25:46.260 That's what they're trying to get rid of now.

01:25:48.500 That's what they're trying to get through.

01:25:49.820 Have you heard anyone give the policy prescription for the 5 million AR-15s that are already in private hands?

01:25:56.240 No.

01:25:56.680 What's the policy?

01:25:57.320 Are you going door-to-door for those?

01:25:59.160 That's not a good idea.

01:26:00.200 Are you going to send out self-addressed stamped envelopes for people to send them to you?

01:26:03.620 How does that work exactly?

01:26:04.420 Hey, mail back your AR-15 in this self-addressed stamped envelope.

01:26:08.560 I hope it's padded.

01:26:09.540 I hope it's one of those nice padded envelopes.

01:26:11.980 Because that's a whole other situation.

01:26:14.500 And I would love to see that go on.

01:26:17.020 I would not love to see it because that would be a complete disaster.

01:26:21.000 But again, they're not even asking for that, right?

01:26:23.080 They're just saying no one can buy new ones, which is something we've already tried and didn't work.

01:26:27.640 It didn't lower murder rates at all.

01:26:30.980 Yep.

01:26:31.380 So it's just, it's unfortunate because there was a story in, I think, The Guardian.

01:26:38.360 Five things you could do right now to reduce gun violence in America.

01:26:41.720 Five things.

01:26:43.340 Okay.

01:26:43.880 Thing number one.

01:26:44.620 Thing number one.

01:26:45.220 Demand your city use data-driven strategies to reduce violence.

01:26:48.280 More than 25% of gun homicides happen in neighborhoods that contain just 1.5% of the country's total population.

01:26:54.000 The Live Free campaign and the Community Justice Reform Coalition are working to organize communities most intensely impacted by violence.

01:27:01.120 These activists believe that making neighborhoods safer requires addressing gun violence, police shootings, and criminal justice reform at the same time, not as competing issues.

01:27:09.340 So, again, that doesn't necessarily mean gun control.

01:27:12.320 But, you know, maybe there's some elements of that.

01:27:14.540 And The Guardian says you can do that.

01:27:17.280 Strengthen your state's approach to guns and domestic violence.

01:27:19.640 Again, this is something that I think a lot of people agree with, even if you have Second Amendment beliefs.

01:27:27.300 Tougher state-level gun laws.

01:27:28.880 What does that mean?

01:27:28.900 If you've, if you've, if you're convicted of domestic violence, you can't have a gun.

01:27:34.120 You can't have a gun.

01:27:34.720 Okay.

01:27:35.160 All right.

01:27:35.760 Support the effort to pass extreme risk protection orders.

01:27:39.500 Advocates have launched a joint effort this year over 20 states to pass extreme risk protection order laws, which give family members and law enforcement officials a way to petition a court to temporarily bar at-risk people from possessing firearms.

01:27:52.520 California has a version of this.

01:27:54.980 Here's the problem with that, though.

01:27:56.360 You've got an at-risk person in your house.

01:27:58.620 Yeah.

01:27:58.820 That means you can't have any guns in your house, right?

01:28:00.740 Yeah.

01:28:00.900 I mean, it doesn't just take it away from the person, it would also take away the parents or the siblings or whoever has a legally purchased gun.

01:28:09.760 Yeah.

01:28:09.900 And these are not things I think some of the stuff you couldn't get passed because they would restrict people's rights to bear arms.

01:28:17.540 And, you know, that's the thing we never really talk about is that bottom line is most of the stuff that the left is proposing winds up getting overturned in the Supreme Court anyway.

01:28:26.320 So, I mean, we fear these things because they're going to try to take these guns away and they're going to try to do all these things.

01:28:31.520 They can pass all the stuff that they want.

01:28:34.000 Overwhelming possibility that it gets overturned by the Supreme Court anyway.

01:28:38.020 Yeah.

01:28:38.220 As long as the Supreme Court is in its current configuration, that could change if a liberal ever packs the court.

01:28:43.880 Of course.

01:28:45.040 Learn how to identify when someone's at risk.

01:28:47.720 Sandy Hook Promise, an advocacy group founded by family members of the Sandy Hook shooting, has trained more than 2 million students and adults to know their science.

01:28:55.040 So, like, that sort of stuff is, of course you can do that, right?

01:28:57.820 Yeah.

01:28:58.220 Try to learn that.

01:28:59.000 And have gun owners lead the way in preventing gun suicides.

01:29:01.920 And, again, this is a smart point in that, as we point out, 65% of gun deaths come from suicide, not murder.

01:29:09.280 So, can you do those?

01:29:10.300 I don't know.

01:29:10.800 I mean, that might reduce it a little bit.

01:29:12.320 I think, to me, we talked about the whole media situation.

01:29:14.820 I noticed another person, I think it was on CNN yesterday, not giving the name of the shooter.

01:29:20.740 There was a shooter in, and I don't have it in front of me.

01:29:26.640 I wish I had the story, but I'll give you the baseline here.

01:29:30.840 Grandma goes into a kid's room, opens up his journal, because she's feeling kind of weird about what's going on.

01:29:38.620 He just seems a little bit off.

01:29:39.580 Opens up his journal, starts reading line-by-line plan on how he's going to go murder, do a school shooting in a specific school,

01:29:48.600 which he flipped a coin to figure out which school it was going to be.

01:29:53.420 Detailed plans and his description about how he wanted to set a record and outdo all the other school shootings.

01:29:59.220 He'd read a lot about other school shootings.

01:30:00.840 And wanted to make sure he did better than that.

01:30:02.640 He's learned from their mistakes.

01:30:04.500 Again, this is media obsession with this stuff.

01:30:06.880 He comes to it, and he says, I want to beat those guys.

01:30:10.000 Luckily, the grandma actually looked at the journal and then looked in his guitar case,

01:30:14.520 which included the weapon that he was going to use in the particular school shooting.

01:30:19.780 He had planned the school.

01:30:20.980 He had all sorts of details about it.

01:30:23.220 And think about this.

01:30:24.860 What a moment it must be if your grandson is doing this.

01:30:29.360 You open it up.

01:30:29.960 You have this knowledge.

01:30:31.060 What do you do?

01:30:32.160 Luckily, she called, like she should have, authorities.

01:30:35.420 They arrested the kid.

01:30:36.240 And not only did she prevent dozens of deaths, possibly, at this school.

01:30:42.920 Also, she prevented, most likely, her grandson's death, who would have either been shot or he would have shot himself.

01:30:48.220 Yep.

01:30:49.020 It's interesting.

01:30:49.780 They did arrest him?

01:30:50.940 They did.

01:30:51.540 On what charge?

01:30:53.040 I, again, don't have the story in front of me.

01:30:54.740 Terrorist threats or something?

01:30:55.900 Their defense was raising the point I think you're raising, which is he didn't actually shoot anybody yet.

01:31:02.680 Right.

01:31:02.780 He was just musing in a journal.

01:31:05.320 Now, of course, he had grenades and he had a gun.

01:31:09.000 Okay.

01:31:09.300 So he had, he was pretty well armed to do this, although, you know, there wasn't necessarily a law that prevented him from having the gun, right?

01:31:18.100 I mean, he could have had the gun.

01:31:19.480 Where does a teenage kid get grenades?

01:31:22.880 That's a good question.

01:31:23.900 That's amazing.

01:31:24.560 It may have been explained in the story.

01:31:26.700 I'm sure in the investigation they will come to that conclusion.

01:31:30.300 But the point being that, you know, there are, if you can uncover these things beforehand, and we have caught a lot of them.

01:31:36.820 Yeah.

01:31:37.040 Thank God.

01:31:37.560 I mean, being, being more aware is a big part of that.

01:31:39.680 And I think not encouraging these people to be these famous celebrities in their communities, I think that helps, too.

01:31:47.100 And we can, we can, that's one that, again, the media can do without passing any legislation.

01:31:51.080 They can't blame Congress for it.

01:31:52.900 They can't blame anybody for it except themselves.

01:31:55.300 Don't make them famous.

01:31:56.100 Don't make them famous.

01:31:57.180 Take every step that you can.

01:31:58.420 What would that do?

01:31:58.980 Would it reverse one out of every 10?

01:32:01.240 Maybe.

01:32:01.660 Maybe.

01:32:02.420 And then, you know what?

01:32:03.240 Really worth doing.

01:32:04.180 Really worth doing.

01:33:22.300 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:33:36.380 Glenn Beck.

01:33:37.920 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:33:41.660 Mitt Romney finally made the long-awaited announcement that he's running for Senate.

01:33:46.160 So when Orrin Hatch is stepping down the end of this term,

01:33:50.100 and so in November, you'll be able to, I mean, everybody's going to vote for Mitt Romney,

01:33:56.560 and he'll be a U.S. senator from Utah very quickly here.

01:33:59.900 I mean, they think they might, someone might try to primary them, but I don't think it's going to work.

01:34:04.120 I think Mitt will probably win 75, 80% of the vote there.

01:34:06.900 Probably.

01:34:08.020 So his announcement did come out, and it was beautiful.

01:34:10.720 You know why?

01:34:11.520 Mountains.

01:34:12.340 Mountains?

01:34:12.660 Mountains, snow.

01:34:13.840 Oh.

01:34:14.160 Because, I don't know if you know this, in Utah, they have both mountains and snow.

01:34:17.900 Wow.

01:34:18.240 And they have trees and lakes.

01:34:22.660 That is true.

01:34:23.480 And other bodies of water.

01:34:24.400 Is that what they were showing?

01:34:25.380 Yes.

01:34:25.840 You get the beautiful landscapes.

01:34:27.480 Okay.

01:34:27.740 Have you heard this yet?

01:34:28.760 I haven't.

01:34:29.400 This is from Mitt Romney, his announcement.

01:34:31.560 I have decided to run for United States Senate because I believe I can help bring Utah's values

01:34:37.700 and Utah's lessons to Washington.

01:34:40.700 Utah is a better model for Washington than Washington is for Utah.

01:34:45.880 Over the last five years, Ann and I have spent a good deal of time with our 24 grandchildren.

01:34:52.460 I've gone back to business, campaigned for Republicans, and met with young people across

01:34:57.560 the country.

01:34:58.920 Ann has championed her Center for Neurologic Research.

01:35:01.560 Given all that America faces, we feel that this is the right time for me to serve our state

01:35:09.980 and our country.

01:35:11.940 I ask for your support and your vote.

01:35:15.100 And I look forward to meeting you over the coming year.

01:35:17.520 If you give me this opportunity, I will owe the Senate seat to no one but the people of Utah.

01:35:24.500 No donor, no corporation will own my campaign or bias my vote.

01:35:29.540 Wonderful.

01:35:30.040 And let there be no question, I will fight for Utah.

01:35:34.140 Okay.

01:35:35.880 All of that sounds fine.

01:35:37.280 But then there was just a little teeny bit more when he...

01:35:43.280 Washington has that backwards.

01:35:45.060 Utah welcomes legal immigrants from around the world.

01:35:48.480 Washington sends immigrants a message of exclusion.

01:35:52.460 Ugh.

01:35:53.120 Okay.

01:35:53.580 Here's the problem with that statement.

01:35:57.320 Washington welcomes legal immigrants as well.

01:36:00.420 The battle right now is over illegal immigrants.

01:36:03.560 And, you know, when you muddy those waters, it just...

01:36:10.040 You're helping the Democrats.

01:36:12.500 It's just so disingenuous to say Utah welcomes legal immigrants when Utah also welcomes illegal immigrants.

01:36:20.800 And so does Mitt Romney.

01:36:22.280 And so that's what needs to stop here.

01:36:25.900 And that's what the battle is.

01:36:27.780 Can we stop being disingenuous?

01:36:29.380 Everybody welcomes legal immigrants.

01:36:32.020 I mean, I will say there's some that don't.

01:36:34.520 But it's not...

01:36:35.300 David Duke.

01:36:35.880 Certainly David Duke would be...

01:36:37.400 Seriously, there's few people who don't want any immigration.

01:36:41.520 Right?

01:36:41.880 I mean, I don't know anybody like that.

01:36:43.880 There might be some.

01:36:45.660 Yeah.

01:36:46.020 There might be.

01:36:46.940 Yeah.

01:36:47.240 There probably are some.

01:36:49.040 There probably are.

01:36:49.940 I just don't know them.

01:36:51.020 I will say there's a new genre.

01:36:53.200 Certainly, like, the alt-right types don't want that.

01:36:55.280 Right?

01:36:55.920 Yeah.

01:36:56.060 And so, obviously, that group has grown over the years.

01:37:00.880 But, I mean, there's obviously legal immigration built into every policy of security that Trump

01:37:06.260 has proposed.

01:37:07.820 But, again, Romney, a big improvement over Orrin Hatch.

01:37:10.760 I'm not a huge Romney guy, but it's an improvement.

01:37:13.340 Yeah.

01:37:14.160 I'd say it probably is.

01:37:15.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:36.180 With Pat and Stu.

01:37:37.500 888-727-VECK.

01:37:39.760 We welcome to the studio.

01:37:41.940 I mean, I use welcome loosely.

01:37:45.320 Jeffy Fisher.

01:37:46.280 Boo.

01:37:47.460 Thank you.

01:37:48.920 You're welcome.

01:37:49.680 People just boo when Jeffy walks in.

01:37:51.620 People do or you?

01:37:53.000 Well, I'm a person.

01:37:55.020 So, I think it qualifies.

01:37:56.980 Jeffy is joining us.

01:37:59.060 We have a...

01:38:00.220 Jeffy, if you don't remember this, we had the Mercury One Gala.

01:38:05.000 Was it back in December?

01:38:06.740 November?

01:38:07.200 November.

01:38:07.500 November.

01:38:08.020 Yes.

01:38:08.420 And Jeffy was there, unfortunately.

01:38:11.420 They let him in the doors.

01:38:12.420 Well, he cheated during the entire lead up.

01:38:14.940 Yes.

01:38:15.200 To the Armadillo race.

01:38:16.360 He did.

01:38:16.560 And then he cheated at the actual Armadillo race.

01:38:19.600 Right.

01:38:20.040 If you don't remember, we were raising money for the great causes that Mercury One does,

01:38:24.980 including freeing people all around the world and saving them.

01:38:27.640 And we were talking about the Armadillo race.

01:38:32.700 For some reason, this got worked into the conversation, which made no sense.

01:38:37.660 But we had to raise money for our Armadillo to win the Armadillo race.

01:38:41.260 And Jeffy cheated to raise the most money, first of all.

01:38:45.340 He cheated.

01:38:46.340 Oh, yes.

01:38:47.080 Yes, he did.

01:38:47.620 Obviously.

01:38:48.220 He was working with the people who ran the thing.

01:38:51.380 And I believe, like every other donation or something, no matter who it was given to,

01:38:57.540 went to him.

01:38:58.140 Right.

01:38:58.560 He set it up in advance.

01:38:59.800 If you sleep better at night believing that, you'd go right ahead and do that.

01:39:02.460 I don't just sleep better.

01:39:03.780 I know for a fact you did that.

01:39:05.380 That's not true.

01:39:05.680 I know for a fact that's what you did.

01:39:08.440 Yes.

01:39:09.120 Yes, I do.

01:39:10.080 Yes, I do.

01:39:10.860 It is not true.

01:39:11.560 You'll see it.

01:39:12.280 And shockingly, Jeffy found a loophole in the rules to abuse them.

01:39:18.360 The problem with the Armadillos was they were stupid.

01:39:21.600 Very stupid.

01:39:22.260 And they didn't know where they were supposed to go.

01:39:24.860 So they'd start heading one way and then they decided,

01:39:26.780 oh, I'm going to go back there.

01:39:28.260 And so Jeffy picked up the track behind him and pushed him along,

01:39:31.900 making them go only forward.

01:39:33.300 By the way, that rule has been changed.

01:39:35.080 Yes.

01:39:35.360 I've been aware that that rule has now been changed in Armadillo

01:39:38.080 racing rules.

01:39:39.080 That's what I've heard.

01:39:39.980 I found that out as soon as I also got my plaque for being inducted

01:39:44.220 into the jockey Armadillo Hall of Fame.

01:39:48.040 Jeffy's basically the Bill Belichick of Armadillo racing.

01:39:52.020 He's always finding the little loophole in the rule to exploit it,

01:39:54.620 and then they change the rule the next year.

01:39:56.460 I mean, all you have to do is say, hey, congratulations,

01:39:59.300 and we'll move on.

01:40:00.720 Congratulations.

01:40:01.580 Thank you.

01:40:01.900 Not to you, though, but to Cynthia and David Bray,

01:40:04.440 who are joining us.

01:40:05.940 You guys are from Washington?

01:40:07.620 Battlegrown, yeah.

01:40:08.580 Very cool.

01:40:09.320 Where is that?

01:40:09.820 Is that near Vancouver, right?

01:40:11.920 Right.

01:40:12.260 Just northeast about 15 miles.

01:40:14.920 Okay.

01:40:15.320 So it's like suburban Vancouver?

01:40:18.380 Okay.

01:40:19.120 And you guys are the raffle winners of the beautiful truck

01:40:24.000 that was raffled off.

01:40:26.200 Yep.

01:40:26.920 Congratulations.

01:40:28.900 That's what they tell me.

01:40:29.980 Kind of a big deal.

01:40:30.760 Very, very cool.

01:40:31.180 So what car do you have now?

01:40:32.600 What are you replacing?

01:40:35.400 Another little truck.

01:40:36.620 Well, he has a...

01:40:37.160 Maybe.

01:40:37.460 He's got another little truck.

01:40:38.900 He has a 93 Ford.

01:40:40.860 A little Ford 94 Ford.

01:40:41.620 Oh, wow.

01:40:42.140 A junker.

01:40:43.000 Nice.

01:40:43.320 Yeah.

01:40:44.020 A 93?

01:40:45.800 Yeah.

01:40:46.140 Well, I'll have to get used to the power windows

01:40:48.220 because they're all crap.

01:40:51.040 That's great.

01:40:51.740 And so you guys, now you didn't...

01:40:53.520 Well, you say this all the time,

01:40:54.420 but you don't have to show up to win the raffle.

01:40:56.600 You guys were not actually at the Mercury One gala.

01:40:59.840 You, what, heard us talking about it on the air?

01:41:01.940 Yep.

01:41:03.260 And I wanted to...

01:41:04.560 I just took a flyer.

01:41:05.540 How many tickets?

01:41:05.860 Did you buy like 100 tickets?

01:41:06.900 I bought one.

01:41:08.480 One ticket.

01:41:09.180 That's it.

01:41:10.220 That's pretty awesome.

01:41:11.120 That's amazing.

01:41:11.920 That's pretty awesome.

01:41:12.860 Because I buy one ticket all the time and I never win.

01:41:14.800 And never win.

01:41:15.320 I never win.

01:41:15.720 I've never won these things.

01:41:16.800 Have you guys ever won anything before?

01:41:18.740 Not like this.

01:41:19.600 No, not like this.

01:41:20.700 Well, he has, but only when I sign him up.

01:41:23.100 But I signed up myself this time.

01:41:25.320 Wait a minute.

01:41:25.640 If you sign him up, I think it's your prize.

01:41:28.240 Definitely.

01:41:28.400 You should at least deserve 50% of the prize.

01:41:30.500 This one's mine.

01:41:31.620 This one's yours?

01:41:32.320 So this is yours.

01:41:33.320 You're going to be driving this yourself.

01:41:34.400 This is awesome.

01:41:35.640 You have listened to Glenn for how long?

01:41:39.340 Oh, since way back on Fox.

01:41:41.760 Really?

01:41:42.540 So long time listeners.

01:41:43.640 This is very cool.

01:41:44.400 I know.

01:41:44.880 Because you hate it.

01:41:45.400 We would have hated if you're like,

01:41:46.780 actually, I'm a big, you know, Piers Morgan fan.

01:41:49.380 And I have to put it in.

01:41:51.260 Just give me the truck.

01:41:53.120 I'm a big title.

01:41:53.740 I'm going to take this.

01:41:54.340 I'm going to sell it and donate it all to some left-wing charity.

01:41:57.020 That would be very disappointing.

01:41:58.260 So all the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.

01:42:01.200 Wow.

01:42:01.840 That's a really rough turn.

01:42:03.820 That would have been bad.

01:42:04.740 Yeah.

01:42:05.540 Very cool.

01:42:06.160 Well, Jeffy is our congenial host here.

01:42:08.520 And he's going to walk you guys out around the corner.

01:42:11.820 Can you move here?

01:42:13.060 Yeah, yeah.

01:42:13.720 I will say Jeffy moves really slow, but follow him.

01:42:16.620 I'm going to walk you out so you can see the truck.

01:42:18.120 Yes, it's right outside.

01:42:19.940 Drive this back to Washington.

01:42:21.340 This is very cool.

01:42:22.160 And you guys are going to drive it back, huh?

01:42:23.380 Yep.

01:42:23.580 You can keep your headphones on as you walk out there so we can talk to you.

01:42:25.800 Okay.

01:42:26.520 Yeah.

01:42:27.100 Very cool.

01:42:28.520 Cynthia and David Bray, all the way from Washington,

01:42:30.940 they're going to drive this thing back.

01:42:32.260 Now, as we're walking out here, before we get to the truck,

01:42:34.900 I've got an envelope with some cash in it.

01:42:37.060 Really?

01:42:37.540 And I'll make you a deal.

01:42:38.760 I'll make you a deal.

01:42:39.960 All right?

01:42:40.520 You can take the envelope with the cash, and I keep the truck.

01:42:44.080 Wait.

01:42:44.540 I don't think so.

01:42:45.580 Yeah, smart move.

01:42:46.340 I know the envelope looks thin, but they're big bills.

01:42:50.380 I don't know.

01:42:51.420 It would have to be the Woodrow Wilson $100,000 bill to make that worthwhile,

01:42:55.320 and it probably isn't.

01:42:57.060 Oh.

01:42:58.800 Coming around the corner here.

01:43:00.060 Yeah.

01:43:01.120 Yeah.

01:43:01.580 So you've seen the truck now.

01:43:02.920 It's a beautiful truck.

01:43:05.240 Not Canyon.

01:43:06.300 No, GMC.

01:43:07.200 GMC Canyon.

01:43:10.480 Stupid, Jeffy.

01:43:11.740 From Sewell Automotive.

01:43:13.240 Very cool that they donated this through Mercury One.

01:43:16.020 You guys should get in and start it.

01:43:17.720 Let's see if Jeffy took the engine yet.

01:43:19.820 Absolutely.

01:43:20.540 My impression is that Jeffy probably stole something out of this truck,

01:43:23.840 considering he was in charge of this project.

01:43:25.520 It's got no radio, no air conditioning system.

01:43:28.900 It's all in the back of Jeffy's car right now.

01:43:32.740 Oh.

01:43:33.780 They just fired it up.

01:43:34.860 I can hear it.

01:43:35.520 It started.

01:43:37.960 That's a good sign.

01:43:38.720 Yep.

01:43:39.480 Very cool.

01:43:40.580 Cynthia and David Bray.

01:43:42.400 Congratulations.

01:43:43.340 A truck from Mercury One.

01:43:45.160 Nice.

01:43:45.280 And not only did they get a free truck,

01:43:47.040 they also helped all sorts of people around the world

01:43:50.480 who were involved in all sorts of terrible things.

01:43:53.640 You know, there's been multiple millions of dollars saved,

01:43:57.540 donated to help save Christians in the Middle East.

01:44:01.800 You don't have to keep the car.

01:44:03.040 We're not going to all die of fumes if you keep the thing running.

01:44:05.000 We're inside.

01:44:06.060 You do realize that.

01:44:06.500 Yeah, go ahead and turn that off now.

01:44:07.160 You can turn it off now.

01:44:09.900 Unless you want to utilize it to run Jeffy over.

01:44:12.180 That is okay.

01:44:12.880 I think that's what they were going to do.

01:44:14.100 Okay, good.

01:44:16.540 All right.

01:44:17.020 Thank you, Cynthia and David.

01:44:18.180 Thank you very much.

01:44:19.440 Thank you on a much smaller level to Jeffy.

01:44:22.020 And thank you to everyone who donated to Mercury One.

01:44:24.300 You know, a lot of times you donate money,

01:44:26.320 you kind of forget that you even did it.

01:44:28.260 It's going to really, really good things.

01:44:30.080 And Glenn is going to be back next week

01:44:31.800 to announce kind of a cool new initiative that they're doing,

01:44:35.400 which is a big deal.

01:44:36.900 Glenn is not known for understating the things he wants to accomplish.

01:44:41.200 And this next one is going to be ridiculous.

01:44:44.320 It's a really cool announcement he's going to be coming out with next week

01:44:47.040 to help an incredibly devastating problem around the world.

01:44:52.100 And that's going to be all next week on the TV show.

01:44:54.160 You'll get a taste of that as well next week.

01:44:55.960 And then we'll be talking about it here on radio as well.

01:44:59.260 And I don't know if you get a free car out of it,

01:45:00.540 but you probably get something even better.

01:45:01.600 All right, you were talking about the grandmother

01:45:04.420 who discovered and thwarted the Washington school shooting

01:45:08.540 by just finding her grandson's journal and calling the police.

01:45:14.740 And we were wondering, okay, well, the guy didn't,

01:45:17.600 he didn't actually do anything.

01:45:19.360 I'm glad you stopped him, but what do you charge him with?

01:45:21.880 Right, it's hard to get those.

01:45:22.820 Sometimes, I mean, this is what happened with,

01:45:24.240 if you remember, to catch a predator.

01:45:26.700 Chris Hansen used to have him be,

01:45:29.040 hey, sit down, have some cookies.

01:45:31.600 And some lemonade.

01:45:32.920 Why were you talking to a 13-year-old girl

01:45:35.960 for 47 consecutive hours?

01:45:39.040 Why did you, we have these transcripts.

01:45:40.820 Can I read you some of these transcripts?

01:45:43.100 You said you wanted to meet up with her and do that thang.

01:45:47.400 What did you mean by that?

01:45:48.740 I love that show.

01:45:50.180 I want that show back so badly.

01:45:52.240 Yeah, that was something else.

01:45:53.420 I feel like it had really good ratings.

01:45:54.880 I think it was just one of those things

01:45:55.920 where there were some legal issues around it.

01:45:58.100 I think so.

01:45:58.660 Because a lot of people felt entrapment.

01:46:00.560 Yeah.

01:46:00.800 Which I disagree with, by the way.

01:46:02.780 I do too.

01:46:03.240 I think on those circumstances.

01:46:04.780 But it's somewhat similar to the thing here.

01:46:06.580 Luckily, this kid did additional things.

01:46:09.000 First of all, he robbed a convenience store

01:46:12.600 to get money to fund the plot.

01:46:15.740 So they had him on that.

01:46:17.320 And when he was arrested,

01:46:18.940 he also punched the police officers.

01:46:21.000 They have him on assaulting a police officer.

01:46:23.180 Pretty clear he was doing this.

01:46:24.720 But the detailed plans were pretty detailed.

01:46:26.400 He was going to take guns.

01:46:29.240 And if you're saying,

01:46:29.960 well, we could have prevented him

01:46:30.860 from having that gun somehow.

01:46:32.120 He was also using homemade explosive devices.

01:46:34.800 And he was bringing them to Aces High School.

01:46:37.740 Imagine if you're at that school

01:46:38.820 or your kids are at that school today.

01:46:40.240 Jeez.

01:46:40.580 You were chosen in a school plot.

01:46:44.960 And luckily, it was stopped

01:46:46.260 by the grandmother of the 18-year-old

01:46:47.940 in a name we will not give you.

01:46:50.120 But his rifle was stored in a guitar case,

01:46:52.360 which she discovered after reading the journal.

01:46:55.740 Authorities arrested O'Connor at the school

01:46:57.400 where he was found carrying marijuana

01:46:58.660 and a knife.

01:46:59.560 If this is somebody you know,

01:47:01.200 a relative, a loved one,

01:47:02.780 how sick you would be.

01:47:04.460 How, I mean,

01:47:05.960 this had to be such a horrifying discovery

01:47:10.600 to the grandmother, right?

01:47:12.220 Can you imagine?

01:47:13.060 You think you're, you know.

01:47:13.700 Oh, man.

01:47:14.620 I mean, she must have had some sense

01:47:16.160 or she wouldn't go in there

01:47:16.900 and read the journal.

01:47:18.780 It's funny because in the journal,

01:47:20.420 he writes,

01:47:21.440 he writes,

01:47:22.060 I need to make this count.

01:47:23.020 I've been reviewing many mass shootings,

01:47:24.700 bombings, and attempted bombings.

01:47:25.920 I'm learning from past shooters

01:47:27.240 and bombers' mistakes.

01:47:28.480 You probably should have learned

01:47:29.240 that you don't write it down in your journal.

01:47:31.140 That's going to be probably step one.

01:47:32.860 But keep doing that

01:47:33.880 if you're out there,

01:47:34.540 mass shooters.

01:47:35.200 Write it down in as many places as possible

01:47:36.920 so hopefully we can catch you.

01:47:39.020 He wrote,

01:47:39.580 I'm preparing myself for the school shooting.

01:47:41.720 I can't wait.

01:47:42.720 My aim has gotten much more accurate.

01:47:44.820 I can't wait to walk into that class

01:47:46.420 and blow all those effers away.

01:47:49.160 Jeez.

01:47:49.840 I don't understand, you know.

01:47:51.060 People he doesn't even know.

01:47:52.740 No.

01:47:53.560 Doesn't even know.

01:47:54.520 You know, this,

01:47:55.120 a lot of times they say,

01:47:56.120 well, he was picked on

01:47:57.320 or he wasn't popular in school

01:47:58.900 or he's a loner or a loser.

01:48:01.120 This kid just chose them randomly

01:48:03.440 by a coin toss.

01:48:04.920 He didn't even know these kids

01:48:06.320 and was going to kill them.

01:48:08.960 You know,

01:48:10.160 it does say something about

01:48:12.700 the value of human life

01:48:15.120 that's,

01:48:16.560 that is assessed

01:48:18.120 by some of these young kids.

01:48:19.540 Yeah.

01:48:19.860 They don't have any.

01:48:21.120 And once again,

01:48:22.040 he wanted to make,

01:48:23.360 basically get a record.

01:48:24.600 He wanted to outdo

01:48:26.100 the other school shooters

01:48:27.460 that have been made so famous

01:48:28.660 over these years.

01:48:30.620 And, you know,

01:48:31.260 this is a step you can take.

01:48:32.800 Once again,

01:48:33.740 the violence,

01:48:34.600 gun violence murder rate

01:48:36.160 is down by like 50%.

01:48:38.100 It's not like it's going up.

01:48:39.560 It's down dramatically.

01:48:40.820 The only thing we're seeing

01:48:41.860 rise are these

01:48:43.040 celebrity mass shooting

01:48:44.300 type of situations.

01:48:45.780 And, you know,

01:48:46.420 the idea is,

01:48:47.340 oh, we take away the guns.

01:48:48.340 Well, you're never going to be able

01:48:49.020 to take away the guns.

01:48:50.280 And, you know,

01:48:50.780 even if you took them all the way

01:48:52.080 or abandoned,

01:48:52.820 you know,

01:48:53.220 got rid of new purchases

01:48:54.440 of assault rifles,

01:48:55.460 which is what they're trying to propose

01:48:56.860 and will never get done anyway.

01:48:58.480 But even if you,

01:48:59.160 even if you did that,

01:49:00.540 you'd still have 5 million AR-15s

01:49:02.860 or 10 million AR-15s

01:49:04.140 still on the streets.

01:49:04.960 You'd still have 300 million other guns

01:49:06.920 still on the streets.

01:49:08.000 You'd still have new purchases

01:49:08.940 of handguns,

01:49:10.060 which arguably,

01:49:11.640 you could make,

01:49:12.560 it could be easier.

01:49:14.180 And you're never going to stop someone

01:49:15.920 from,

01:49:17.120 I mean,

01:49:17.440 with three,

01:49:17.860 in the world of 3D printers,

01:49:19.060 you think you're going to stop

01:49:20.000 the size of a magazine?

01:49:21.420 Come on.

01:49:21.860 What moron believes that?

01:49:24.580 You could 3D print

01:49:25.280 one of those things

01:49:25.760 in 10 seconds.

01:49:27.500 It's a ridiculous

01:49:28.720 collection of ideas.

01:49:32.220 And in the end,

01:49:33.460 it's not going to do anything.

01:49:34.280 He was going to blow people up

01:49:35.480 with bombs anyway.

01:49:37.860 So, I mean,

01:49:38.660 at least,

01:49:39.080 at the very least,

01:49:39.660 you can stop making

01:49:40.240 these people famous.

01:49:41.100 And I hope the media

01:49:42.160 will take some steps

01:49:43.000 in that direction.

01:49:43.880 Me too.

01:49:44.260 That's an easy fix right there.

01:49:46.000 I mean,

01:49:46.680 and,

01:49:47.440 I mean,

01:49:47.800 will it,

01:49:48.100 are you guaranteed

01:49:49.120 to stop anything?

01:49:50.280 No,

01:49:50.500 but it very well might.

01:49:52.120 So why wouldn't you just do it?

01:49:53.560 It's hard to imagine

01:49:54.200 it hurts the situation.

01:49:55.340 Yeah.

01:49:56.020 I can't come up with a situation

01:49:57.100 where,

01:49:57.520 oh,

01:49:57.660 you know what?

01:49:58.260 That's a bad thing.

01:49:59.080 It's a bad thing.

01:49:59.660 I wish we had made them

01:50:00.900 more famous.

01:50:02.180 And I don't think

01:50:03.060 that's going to happen.

01:50:04.160 888-727-BEZK.

01:50:05.840 More Pat and Stu

01:50:06.480 for Glenn coming up.

01:50:07.940 All right.

01:50:09.220 Volatility in the stock market.

01:50:10.340 You've been seeing that

01:50:10.780 a little bit lately.

01:50:12.040 Bitcoin,

01:50:12.700 I mean,

01:50:12.940 it was down to,

01:50:13.960 it was at 19,000,

01:50:15.060 then it was at 6,

01:50:15.780 now it's back to 10.

01:50:16.600 It's all over the map.

01:50:17.980 You might not have known

01:50:18.920 with all the attention

01:50:20.280 on those markets

01:50:21.060 that gold just came off

01:50:22.320 its best year since 2010

01:50:23.540 and gold's up over $100

01:50:24.520 since mid-December or so.

01:50:27.980 Lots of room to run,

01:50:28.940 I think.

01:50:29.500 I mean,

01:50:29.760 you know,

01:50:30.040 you got to make your own decisions

01:50:30.940 on investments,

01:50:31.680 of course,

01:50:32.020 but gold is a part

01:50:32.740 of my portfolio.

01:50:33.740 I think it's a good thing

01:50:34.500 to maybe consider

01:50:35.440 making it part of yours.

01:50:36.800 Gold has been a safe haven

01:50:38.080 for centuries.

01:50:38.820 We all know that.

01:50:39.760 It performs well

01:50:40.500 in times of volatility.

01:50:41.640 That's kind of why

01:50:42.040 people go to gold.

01:50:43.360 When things become

01:50:44.020 a little bit uncertain,

01:50:45.340 it winds up really being

01:50:47.040 profitable.

01:50:49.640 And if you've done well

01:50:50.900 in speculating

01:50:52.080 in the cryptocurrency,

01:50:53.060 you've kind of gone

01:50:54.120 through that gambling process

01:50:55.840 and you've been able

01:50:57.860 to take a little bit

01:50:58.740 of money,

01:50:59.160 maybe take a little bit

01:50:59.820 off the table

01:51:00.320 and put some into gold.

01:51:01.880 Gold isn't an all-in strategy.

01:51:03.040 You don't have to do everything.

01:51:04.140 It doesn't have to be

01:51:04.820 100% gold.

01:51:05.700 No one's even recommending that.

01:51:06.780 In fact,

01:51:07.160 Goldline isn't even

01:51:08.160 recommending that.

01:51:08.720 They're saying,

01:51:09.340 consider a piece

01:51:09.980 of your portfolio

01:51:10.620 to put in there.

01:51:11.560 And remember,

01:51:12.280 a reminder,

01:51:12.800 Goldline is under

01:51:13.320 new ownership

01:51:13.720 with better pricing

01:51:14.380 and the same service.

01:51:15.320 They also,

01:51:16.000 another reminder,

01:51:16.980 to help celebrate

01:51:17.700 the Winter Olympics,

01:51:18.480 Goldline is giving away

01:51:19.740 an officially licensed

01:51:20.580 Team USA Olympic

01:51:41.380 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:51:51.000 Glenn Beck.

01:51:52.420 I don't know about you,

01:51:53.360 Stu,

01:51:53.460 but when I'm thinking

01:51:54.160 healthy meal for the kids,

01:51:56.300 the first place

01:51:57.360 that comes to mind?

01:51:59.460 McDonald's.

01:51:59.940 Right,

01:52:00.120 that's what I would like to do.

01:52:00.940 And let's get them

01:52:01.800 a quick happy meal,

01:52:03.120 which is going to be

01:52:03.920 super, super healthy.

01:52:04.880 Uh-huh.

01:52:06.220 And then we'll go

01:52:08.620 work out at the gym.

01:52:10.320 Or maybe we'll work out first,

01:52:12.440 and then we'll go

01:52:13.120 get the happy meal.

01:52:14.200 I usually combine them.

01:52:15.320 I eat them on the treadmill.

01:52:16.240 Well, okay.

01:52:16.780 Yeah.

01:52:17.200 Yeah, that's fine, too.

01:52:18.200 Big handful of fries

01:52:19.100 on the treadmill

01:52:19.860 for each step I take.

01:52:20.960 And because of this,

01:52:21.940 you know,

01:52:22.580 health-conscious

01:52:23.600 McDonald's mindset,

01:52:27.360 I think,

01:52:27.720 of American people,

01:52:29.380 they're taking cheeseburgers

01:52:30.840 and chocolate milk

01:52:31.640 off their happy meal menu

01:52:32.840 in an effort to cut down

01:52:33.900 on the calories,

01:52:34.620 sodium-saturated fat,

01:52:35.720 and sugar that kids consume.

01:52:37.040 I will say,

01:52:37.800 this is one of those cases

01:52:38.560 you've got to read past

01:52:39.200 the headline,

01:52:39.740 because just like they were

01:52:40.460 talking about with

01:52:40.920 the Tommy Lahren tweet,

01:52:42.100 when I heard this,

01:52:43.520 when I read this headline,

01:52:44.460 I felt anger.

01:52:46.020 Oh, you did?

01:52:46.560 I felt anger.

01:52:47.460 Oh, no.

01:52:47.900 I can't believe

01:52:48.300 the freaking McDonald's

01:52:49.280 is going down

01:52:49.760 this stupid road.

01:52:50.860 I know.

01:52:51.240 When you read the story,

01:52:52.960 what you realize is,

01:52:54.240 first of all,

01:52:54.760 they're keeping hamburgers

01:52:56.440 on the menu.

01:52:57.920 They're just taking

01:52:58.680 the cheese off of it?

01:52:59.520 They're just saying,

01:53:00.080 because now they have

01:53:00.600 a hamburger

01:53:01.000 and a cheeseburger happy meal.

01:53:02.080 Now they will just have

01:53:03.000 a hamburger happy meal.

01:53:05.000 The idea being that,

01:53:06.140 of course,

01:53:06.560 any human being knows

01:53:07.900 that if there is a hamburger,

01:53:10.060 there is also a cheeseburger,

01:53:11.580 because the difference

01:53:12.320 between a hamburger

01:53:13.160 and cheeseburger

01:53:13.660 is just a slice of cheese,

01:53:15.020 which we all know they have.

01:53:16.760 So you can still order

01:53:18.120 a cheeseburger,

01:53:18.960 and what they will give you

01:53:19.780 is a cheeseburger.

01:53:21.340 But wait,

01:53:21.860 I thought they were taking

01:53:22.520 the cheeseburger off the menu.

01:53:23.780 No, they are,

01:53:24.520 but you could still order it.

01:53:26.040 They just aren't telling you

01:53:27.160 that it's there.

01:53:27.800 Why?

01:53:28.260 Because they want everything

01:53:29.200 to fall under these guidelines

01:53:30.780 of the amount of calories.

01:53:31.820 So it's not like

01:53:32.820 they're replacing

01:53:33.660 the cheeseburger

01:53:34.520 and the happy meal

01:53:35.240 with kale.

01:53:36.200 Right.

01:53:36.500 Is that what you're telling me?

01:53:37.280 No.

01:53:37.440 There's no kale burger.

01:53:38.760 It's 100% available.

01:53:40.180 There's no new McKale.

01:53:41.700 Right.

01:53:42.160 At McDonald's.

01:53:43.040 You just have to ask

01:53:44.020 for the cheese on it

01:53:45.580 instead of just

01:53:46.260 being unlisted on the menu,

01:53:48.360 as if we don't know.

01:53:50.160 We all know

01:53:50.840 there's a cheeseburger there

01:53:51.760 if there's a hamburger there.

01:53:52.740 All the times

01:53:53.620 a hamburger is there,

01:53:55.020 a cheeseburger is also there.

01:53:56.220 All times.

01:53:57.220 It's always available

01:53:57.940 at every place.

01:53:59.120 This is not something

01:53:59.720 that's a mystery to America.

01:54:00.980 Well, do I have to

01:54:02.400 replace the fries

01:54:03.260 with apple slices, though?

01:54:04.880 No.

01:54:05.200 They do give you

01:54:05.780 apple slices and fries.

01:54:07.400 Oh, really?

01:54:08.180 But they gave you these.

01:54:09.040 They have...

01:54:09.620 Like, it's three fries.

01:54:11.600 Well, you know this

01:54:12.120 because whenever

01:54:12.820 you want something healthy,

01:54:13.900 you bring them to McDonald's

01:54:14.660 and you're there all the time.

01:54:15.740 You're not telling me anything.

01:54:16.980 I don't know.

01:54:17.080 There's little baby fries now

01:54:18.280 with like 12 fries in them.

01:54:19.820 It's not impressive,

01:54:20.620 but it's adorable.

01:54:22.100 It's McDonald's.

01:54:22.900 Come on.

01:54:23.820 Can you realize

01:54:24.540 you're McDonald's?

01:54:28.740 Glenn.

01:54:29.560 Back.

01:54:30.000 Mercury.
