Major Discussion Highlights

1. U.S. Plans to Attack Iran Put on Hold

• [03:02] Trump postpones a scheduled assault on Iran after appeals from Mideast leaders.
• White House’s Ambiguity: Confusion over whether Iran’s leaders are actually part of ongoing “deal” negotiations.
• Military Readiness vs. Public Posturing: The hosts argue repeated postponements have undermined U.S. credibility (“I think they've gotten used to that. So I don't know that they believe any of the threats coming out anymore.” — Jeff Fisher, [04:29]).
• Global Fallout: Strait of Hormuz closure chokes oil supply, impacts global economy.
• [12:00] Only 20 tankers have traversed the strait in 2.5 months (normally 15–20 daily).
• Quotes:
  • “It doesn't matter how much of our own oil we have. It's a global economy.” — Jeff Fisher, [10:46]
  • “Just, it would go a long way.” — Pat Gray advocating for a “good bombing campaign,” [08:27]

2. Domestic Politics: The Texas Cornyn–Paxton Senate Race

• [18:59] Trump’s silence on endorsing Cornyn or Paxton looms over the GOP primary.
• Cornyn’s Campaign: Heavy spending, tight Trump association in ads.
• Attack Ads: Ongoing negative campaigning labeling Ken Paxton as “dangerous incompetence.”
• Quote:
  • “He made every ad sound like Trump had endorsed him…he showed Trump and Cornyn together.” — Pat Gray, [21:02]

3. WNBA and Caitlin Clark: Identity Politics or Bad Promotion?

• [25:06] Hosts ridicule the WNBA for not featuring star rookie Caitlin Clark in marquee promotional material.
• Critical Take: The league allegedly prioritizes “black lesbian agenda” over business sense.
• Highlights:
  • “It’s bizarre. The NBA promotes its big white stars. Why can’t the WNBA do the same with Caitlin Clark?” — Jeff Fisher, [28:45]
  • “She’s helping you make back some of the money you’re in the red about.” — Pat Gray, [29:07]

4. Human Interest & Culture Segments

• [31:01] Cocodona Ultra Marathon: Rachel Entertain’s record-breaking 250-mile win—first woman and overall winner.
• Data Center Backlash: 70% of Americans oppose local AI data centers ([33:01]).
• Canadian seal mystery: Strange deaths traced to seal-on-seal violence, not sharks or humans ([35:00]).

5. Mangione Murder Trial: Shocking Evidence Exclusion

• [43:44] The pivotal story: significant evidence against accused murderer Luigi Mangione is ruled inadmissible by a judge.
• Public Reaction: Women are reportedly lining up at the courthouse holding “Free Luigi” signs, a phenomenon the hosts mock as “sick” and evidence of cultural decline.
• Class Warfare Rhetoric: The trial is framed as a microcosm for anti-capitalist resentment.
• Quote:
  • “To make this murdering coward into a hero just shows how effective the efforts of the Marxists in the Democrat Party have been at creating class warfare and an eat-the-rich mentality.” — Jeff Fisher, [45:02]
• Legal Details:
  • Only the notebook/manifesto from Mangione’s backpack can be used at trial, while the loaded magazine, passport, and wallet are excluded ([65:14]).
  • “It sounds like the stuff that he okayed to be used as evidence is going to be enough to convict him.” — Jeff Fisher, [65:51]

6. Mayoral Races and Municipal Woes

• [84:53] L.A. Mayoral Race – Reality star Spencer Pratt mounts a populist, media-savvy run against incumbent Karen Bass.
• Pratt's Messaging:
  • “I’m the only candidate living in reality.” — Pratt, [91:01]
  • Pledges to address crime, homelessness, and dirty streets with direct, sometimes brash rhetoric.
• Homelessness Debate: Karen Bass fixates on dental care for addicts: “You can't succeed without teeth” ([95:50]), while Pratt insists the root problem is addiction, not lack of teeth.
• Voting Controversy: Incumbents equivocating over noncitizen voting rights: “It depends” ([90:31]).

---

Notable Quotes

• “Are you a fourth grader? Where are you getting these weird ideas? How dumb can you be?” — Jeff Fisher, on fixing homelessness via dental work ([96:49])
• “We're a capitalistic society...you should be rewarded for your efforts. Why not?” — Pat Gray, on the value of billionaires ([47:34])
• “It was like the NBA ignoring LeBron James, the biggest star in the league.” — Jeff Fisher, on WNBA sidelining Caitlin Clark ([28:06])

Memorable Moments

• Pat’s Satire on Military “Readiness”: The hosts riff on how “threat inflation” has left U.S. warnings toothless, with Jeff urging Mideast allies to “use” the military gear America has sold them ([06:09]).
• Musical Parody: Spencer Pratt’s “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” campaign ad lampooned on-air ([86:11]).

• First World Problems: Touchscreen laptop woes and kids dismissing non-interactive devices ([51:38]).

---

Episode Tone

Throughout, Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher adopt a sardonic, flippant tone, often using satire, pop culture references, and intentional exaggeration. They move fluidly between policy critique, cultural commentary, and absurd “what if?” scenarios, all with a radio show’s rapid pacing. They channel Glenn Beck’s style—blunt, wryly conservative, occasionally outrage-fueled, and peppered with self-deprecation.

---

Key Takeaways

• The delay in U.S. action against Iran—and its real-world implications—fuels skepticism about American resolve and global anxiety over oil.
• Class resentment, anti-capitalist rhetoric, and the elevation of criminal suspects reflect deeper divisions in American culture.
• Political endorsements from figures like Trump have tremendous weight, with silence sometimes as significant as an outright endorsement.
• The WNBA’s handling of Caitlin Clark is a microcosm, in the hosts’ view, of cultural “wokeness” trumping business sense.
• The Mangione murder trial, notorious for both the evidence ruling and the public’s odd idolization of the accused, serves as a lens for broader commentary on criminal justice, celebrity, and class.
• Local issues (homelessness, mayoral races) are shown to be microcosms for national debates about governance, public safety, and civic identity.

---

For New Listeners:
This episode, while wide-ranging and brimming with cultural and political hot takes, centers around skepticism of official narratives, a defense of capitalism, and a critique of progressive priorities in both national and local governance—all delivered with quick wit and sharp banter.

Transcript

[Glenn Beck]

Pass it on. Crank. The game back is on.

[Pat Gray]

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

[Glenn Beck]

Glenn Beck is on

[Jeff Fisher]

with Pat and Jeffy this week for Glenn,line-8727 Beck phone number. Apparently we were scheduled to attack Iran today. That's been delayed again. So if you're counting on that, you probably shouldn't. I guess it's not gonna. It's not on. It's not on like Donkey Kong as of right now. As of right now. But we'll see.

[Pat Gray]

As of right now, we'll get into

[Jeff Fisher]

never know and much more to talk about in 60 seconds here. Ask dad what he wants for Father's Day. He'll say, I don't know. I'm fine. Meanwhile, here's the guy that has spent the last 20 years preparing for hypothetical situations that have never actually occurred. Flashlights in strategic locations, extra batteries, a toolbox that could repair a small submarine. He knows three different ways to shut off the water to the house, and he treats bad weather like it's a personal challenge from God. Because that's what dads do. They want to feel prepared. Which is why I think Rapid Reading are actually a great Father's Day gift. They're simple, they're practical and genuinely useful. You don't need a license, you don't need to have you program anything. And there are no monthly fees. You just turn them on and start talking. And whether it's for travel, camping, road trips, family events, or real emergencies, they're the kind of thing a dad immediately understands the value of. Because deep down, most dads are always thinking the same thing. If something goes wrong, I want to be ready. So go to Rapid radios dot com. They ship fast from their headquarters in Michigan. That's Rapid radios dot com. Rapid Radios communication redefined. All right, so we found out, I guess because of this was a truth social post maybe from President Trump.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, yes. Where he saying he's going to hold off the bombing which was scheduled. Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

We didn't know. Obviously it was scheduled for today.

[Pat Gray]

Correct. But it was till this.

[Jeff Fisher]

Until now.

[Pat Gray]

And. But he was asked by the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the UAE to hold off on planned military attacks on Iran, which were scheduled.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think I would have said, no, I'm not holding off. We've done that over and over and over again. It's not working. You keep telling me that you're close to a deal. No, but that's not what he said.

[Pat Gray]

No, he said the great leaders and allies Deal will be made. And that will be very acceptable to the United States of America as well as all countries in the Middle east and beyond. Will it?

[Jeff Fisher]

And do the Iranians know that?

[Pat Gray]

I don't think so.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the thing. Are. Are they involved in this? Are they the ones saying, hey, we can come to a deal, we can get an. We can make an arrangement here with you guys?

[Pat Gray]

Doesn't say.

[Jeff Fisher]

And social. Yeah, that's kind of the problem, isn't it?

[Pat Gray]

But he instructed Secretary of War Pete Headset and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Kane, to stand down. And we're not doing the attack, but I'll be prepared to go forward full scale at a moment's notice. So there's that.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's that. But we. That's what we've been hearing.

[Pat Gray]

Yes, it is time now. Yes, it is ready to go.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're going to bomb you. We're going to destroy you. We'll be obligated, obliterating you. Soon you're going to be eliminated. And then nothing. And I think they've gotten used to that. So I don't know that they believe any of the threats coming out anymore.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know either. And our military, I mean, my gosh, obviously, you know, you believe. Well, they always need to be ready at a moment's notice. But, I mean, it's a big difference when you're preparing, when you're going to, you know, have an attack and you're all out, and now you have to just be at that heightened sense for. For a moment's notice that may or may not come. I mean, I'm. I'm with you. Let's make it come. Let's have it happen.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. I just think it's time.

[Pat Gray]

And we were right.

[Jeff Fisher]

We tried it the other way.

[Pat Gray]

Said yesterday. I mean, it needs to happen. And he was ready to do it, apparently, which, I don't know. I feel like he should have.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

You know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Amir, you know, cp, Crown Prince. I call him cp.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And you know, they're UAE Prez. No.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

Appreciate you calling.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Appreciate you calling, but.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, we've heard this before.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

From you guys. And I. I know that you're all jittery because you don't want to be attacked anymore, which is weird because you

[Pat Gray]

should have attacked Iran back.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Haven't we sold you. Haven't we sold you jets and fighter jets?

[Jeff Fisher]

And the answer to that is yes. Especially in the case of Saudi Arabia, the answer is yes, we have. Use them.

[Pat Gray]

Use them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. They're collecting a lot of dust.

[Pat Gray]

Go ahead. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

How about you put a pilot in one of those and fly it over Iran?

[Pat Gray]

We've trained them. Go ahead.

[Jeff Fisher]

Jeez. Apparently, there was no clear indication prior to President Trump's post that the U. S. Was preparing to strike Iran. I mean, that's good, because we don't want them to know when we're going to strike, and they've officially scrapped the plans to do that today. President Trump told the New York Post in an interview yesterday that Iran knows what's going to be happening soon. Do they, though? Do they? I. I don't. I think we've trained them that they know we're not going to do anything at this point. If we actually do something, that would be a surprise, Right? A surprise. But he said it's going to be happening soon if we can't reach a deal. But again, we've heard that multiple times, so I don't know. He did say we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow. I put it off for a while, hopefully, maybe forever, but possibly for a little while, because we've had a very. We've had very big discussions with Iran and we'll see what they amount to. I.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think so.

[Jeff Fisher]

But the attack's been put off for two or three days, he said, a short period of time because they think that they're getting very close to making a deal. That's what these keep saying that these leaders believe. Yeah, they do. They do keep saying that.

[Pat Gray]

Keep saying it.

[Jeff Fisher]

The Pakistanis have said it, and now these guys are saying it. And I think the problem is they're not dealing with the people who really make the decisions. I think that could be the issue here. Well, but maybe they are talking to somebody that they're close to a deal with, but they're not the people in charge. And as soon as you make a deal and you announce the deal, then the people who are really in charge are saying, nope, we're not going to go along.

[Pat Gray]

We're not agreeing to that. I believe that at least that certainly appears to be what's been happening.

[Jeff Fisher]

It does.

[Pat Gray]

And Trump has talked about, well, now they want to make a deal, then they don't want to make a deal. And we're, you know, whoever Pakistan is talking to and whoever we're talking to, it's just, it's not working and it's not. What might help is, I don't know, a good bombing campaign.

[Jeff Fisher]

A good bombing might help. Just, it would go a long way.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah, it's just, just me.

[Jeff Fisher]

The other thing that would help is to determine, and I don't know if the CIA can do this. Apparently not, because we don't know, Determine who's really in charge here and then talk to those people, as that doesn't seem to be happening.

[Pat Gray]

That seems like what's, what you'd want to do.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Determine who's in, who's really in charge, who's making the decisions, and then talk to that.

[Pat Gray]

Talk to them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[Pat Gray]

Because the proxies don't seem to be working.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, they don't.

[Pat Gray]

The proxies don't seem to be working because the proxies are going back to whoever in charge. We always made a deal.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, no, we're not doing that. So.

[Pat Gray]

And that keeps prolonging the whole thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, it does. And then, so what that also prolongs is the inflation in America, the rising gas prices in America, all the things that we're a little tired of because we put up with it for so long during the Biden administration, and then things were improving under President Trump, and then this happened. So it's causing problems.

[Pat Gray]

And I know we've got a lot of goods at the ports, but that was a constant evolving thing, goods coming into the ports, and we were way behind, way behind, thanks to the Strait of hormones being shut down. So we need to fix that immediately.

[Jeff Fisher]

I read this morning that since March 1st. So all of March, April, now half of May. More than half of May, yeah. So two and a half months, 20. A grand total of 20 ships have gone through the Strait of Hormuz.

[Pat Gray]

See, now, 20, let's say, I don't know how many ships actually go through the Strait of Hormuz on a daily basis. Okay, all right. 20 sounds good.

[Jeff Fisher]

20 is not good. 20 in two and a half months, it should probably be, I don't know, 500. I, I, we should look that up. How many, how many normally go through every month? Because it's a lot late.

[Pat Gray]

It's got to be a lot. It's got to be, I mean, you know, it's 500, I would think would

[Jeff Fisher]

be a day when it's a fifth of the world's oil supply.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a lot of ships.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Going to a lot of different places. And so now they're all stuck. They're just jammed up in this Strait of Hormuz traffic jam. And so it's really, it's hurting the world's oil supply, which in turn hurts us because no kidding, Jeffy, we're a global economy, okay. And it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much of our own oil we have. It's a global economy. You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. It's global. So what affects the globe. Attacks on. It affects us.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, we can't refine it properly. We have to. We're a global economy.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

We have more oil than we know what to do with in the US but.

[Jeff Fisher]

But it's a global don't in Outer Mongolia. So that affects us here. Okay, I guess if you say so. But that's what, you know, that's what we're told. And I think that is the reality because it happens every single time.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. So according to this normal conditions, 20 to 21 million barrels of oil per day passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

[Jeff Fisher]

How many ships is that though?

[Pat Gray]

Typically around 15 to 20 large tankers transit daily.

[Jeff Fisher]

Daily 15 to 20 a day.

[Pat Gray]

LNG carriers and container ships. So about 35 to 50 a day flow is essential to global energy supply. Thank you. Yeah, we appreciate that.

[Jeff Fisher]

So I mean that's.

[Pat Gray]

So it might be 500, but. Yeah. Month, monthly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Huge. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And 20 have passed through.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

So that gives you an indication of why things are the way they are.

[Pat Gray]

Right, Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because again, it's a global economy, despite the fact that we get virtually none of it from that area. We get, we get none of it. I mean, Europe and China, self sufficient and the oil that we do get from other places comes from places like, I don't know, Canada and Mexico, so. And now Venezuela, because it's. That's ours now.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Since we've pretty much.

[Pat Gray]

Right, that's ours. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

By the way, we hear nothing.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

About that situation anymore.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that's done.

[Jeff Fisher]

Source, where are we with the Maduro thing?

[Pat Gray]

He's hanging out and he's just hanging out. Jail, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And his wife.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, I guess so. Yep. So I don't know when that trial is. We don't, man. We don't hear any. Anything about it. And I'd love to know what's going on there. I'd love to know what's happening in Venezuela and if. Apparently it's going pretty well because I mean the news media would be screaming about it if not.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Blaming it all on President Trump.

[Pat Gray]

So I just went to hormo. Hormuz straightmonitor.com. love.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, man, I. The time I've spent. Good times, good times with Hormuz. Monitor.com.

[Pat Gray]

matt Hormone's straight.

[Jeff Fisher]

Straight. Yeah. Right. That's what I meant.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. 80 days. It's got the countdown duration of restriction. 80 days, 13 hours, 18 minutes. Restricted since February 27th. I mean, it's been. Okay. Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

Since. Yeah. Wow. That's a lot.

[Pat Gray]

That's a lot.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's. It's too long.

[Pat Gray]

Traffic overview seems to be zero, so feels straight.

[Jeff Fisher]

So no traffic at all opened up?

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

So what you're saying is the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

[Pat Gray]

It's closed.

[Jeff Fisher]

I thought that was unacceptable. And I thought we were going to allow that. And then we started to know where

[Pat Gray]

the mines are, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

I would think so.

[Pat Gray]

We heard we were doing the Escorts, and then we stopped doing that. Yeah, and then they said, well, we got mines. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, I mean, and then was it. Was it General Kane or Pete Hegseth somebody last week said that we have destroyed 90% of the mines in the strait.

[Pat Gray]

That was Cooper, I think, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

It might have been. Yeah, the CENTCOM guy.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So if you know it's 90%, you know that there's 10% remaining. How do you know that? Have you seen them? And you haven't eliminated it?

[Pat Gray]

Get rid of it?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And I think we. I don't know. I just feel like we have the technology to put. Find out a license plate from space, Right. We have the technology of pilot runners. Runners with Apple watches run around a town and form a heart so they can show their loved ones how much they love them with the heart. I ran this for you. But we can't know where the minds are.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I'm not familiar with the Apple watch. Run with the heart. Now, where did that happen?

[Pat Gray]

I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Some.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, God.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sounds beautiful.

[Pat Gray]

There are others that make other shapes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And we can do that.

[Pat Gray]

We could do that, right? And we could all laugh, but we

[Jeff Fisher]

can't figure out where the minds are.

[Pat Gray]

We don't. I don't think I Believe it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Last 10%. They're so pesky.

[Pat Gray]

Don't think I believe it. And I think that, you know, all these ships and companies, while they have, you know, millions invested, couldn't we just say, you know, what if you get hit by one of them? Oh, well, help you fix it. You know, we'll plug the hole.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

Plug the hole. Let's go. Let's get this thing going.

[Jeff Fisher]

Look, I'm not a ship captain, so I can't say for certainty that I would do, but I think I'd take a chance, right. Rather than sit there for two more months.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think I'm transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

[Pat Gray]

Me, too.

[Jeff Fisher]

And just take a shot. I'm going to take a shot at it because chances are I'm not going to hit a mine or even be hit by a missile from a ramp. Right.

[Pat Gray]

And Cooper last week told us that they. They're down to. They used to come with dozens of fast boats to invade ships that are only down to maybe three at a time now, which is.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Yeah, we take out. We can take those.

[Jeff Fisher]

Do it.

[Pat Gray]

Let's go.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let's do it. All right. More in 60 seconds. How many people are walking around right now because somebody chose not to give up on them? Think about that for a second. Every person you've ever known, every friend, every spouse, every child, every great historical figure, every person who ever made the world better in some way, all of them exist because at some point, somebody chose life. And yet we live in a culture that often talks about pregnancy like it's an interruption, a problem, a thing to deal with. Well, preborn pushes back on that. They remind people that there's a human life involved. A child with a future personality, a name, a story that hasn't been written yet. Just $28 provides one free ultrasound. Now, that's less than a dollar a day, and it could save a life. $140 reaches five mothers. Preborn empowers women to be mothers. And it's only the beginning, because that moment leads to real support, maternity care, baby clothes, diapers, counseling, and a lot more. And that is what we do together when we provide ultrasounds to these expecting mothers. To get involved, just dial £250. Say the key word baby. That's £250. Keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com back 10 seconds. Station ID. Great to have you with us. You know, there's been no endorsement yet from President Trump in the Corn and Paxton race, which is coming up very soon. This is a big race in Texas and for the country. So you are. You got a vested interest in this because Republicans have to hold on to the Senate. If they don't, yes, it's going to be real problems. And so whoever wins this race between Cornyn and Paxton has to beat James Talarico, who's a nightmare Democrat, in the general election in November. It's really critical. Now, President Trump has stayed out of it so far, and I'm afraid if he gets into it, he's going to weigh in on the side of John Cornyn.

[Pat Gray]

That's Possible.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think it's likely that's possible.

[Pat Gray]

And I will say that I've heard every time I. Well, I just. I got a text just yesterday. Just yesterday. Bashing. And I don't know why, how they got my number. And I don't. I don't really want them to text me. Although now I'm using on the air, so go ahead. But they. It's attorney Paxton. Dangerous incompetence. And this is all I see from ads.

[Jeff Fisher]

Dangerous incompetence.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really?

[Pat Gray]

Dropped cases against human traffickers.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. I saw this ad.

[Pat Gray]

I saw this Release these human traffickers back into our neighborhoods. Call and tell AG Ken Paxton to

[Jeff Fisher]

do his job and then vote for him. After you do that, then vote for him next Tuesday. Okay. Tell him, go ahead and call him and tell him to do his job. That's fine. But make sure you vote for him on Tuesday. It doesn't say that.

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's weird.

[Pat Gray]

Cuts off. Cuts off right after that.

[Jeff Fisher]

But the president was asked about this. Are you gonna do an endorsement? I mean, it's coming. It's a week from today.

[Pat Gray]

And that's what I was thinking, is that you're right. He's going to weigh in. And Cornyn, you know, he's spent way more than I heard, 100 million.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know if that's accurate. He spent a lot of money on a primary.

[Pat Gray]

And we've seen. And football season, when those ads ran, we was never ending.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

John Cornyn, one after another about how great he was. And. And I mean, it was because of him that Donald Trump built the wall.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the way it sounded in his ads, for sure.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, he. He made every ad sound like Trump had endorsed him.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

He was standing with Donald Trump, and

[Jeff Fisher]

he would show Trump in the ad and sometimes showed Trump and Cornyn together. He did try to make it look like he got the endorsement.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

Here's what. The president said that, though, last week. Yeah. I'll make a decision maybe relatively soon. If it's not, it's gonna be too late.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So might want to step in on that and get rid of this rhino. You know, he's worried about Thomas Massie being a rhino. The real rhino is John Cornyn.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck, Cat. Jeffy for Glenn.

[Pat Gray]

This week,

[Commercial Announcer]

when we talk about Israel, we're not just talking about a place. We're talking about a people connected to a promise, a promise made by God, the one he has never broken, and one that continues even today. Because God's character doesn't change. And what he begins, he sustains, what he promises, he fulfills. And that matters. Right now in Israel, families run into shelters as sirens sound. It's not just a crisis, it's a call to respond. For Christians. For Christians, caring for the Jewish people isn't rooted in politics. It's not rooted in war or anything else. It's rooted in trust. Trust in a God who keeps his word. So we don't stay distant. We step in with prayer and practical help. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, bringing food, caring for the vulnerable, and reminding people they're not alone. This is what it looks like to align our hearts with God's. To pray, to show up, to care, to feed. Join us in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the people who need it most right now. Visit prayifcj.org that's prayifcj.org Torch members are not just listeners.

[Pat Gray]

They're torchbearers, uplifting the nation together. Join the community@glenn beck.com torch.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. He is. He's in Prague. He just did a Instagram post or next post where he was talking about cutting his Christmas album, I think, with his daughter. And they're in.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, he didn't mention her.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're in Prague right now doing this Christmas cd. And last night was the last night, or is it tonight? He was going to have dinner with the Czech prime minister, which is so weird because I just had dinner with the Czech prime minister last weekend and the Slovakian foreign minister.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, there you go. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So I had Czechoslovakia. Both of it. All of it. I had the whole thing here with

[Pat Gray]

him here in the United States. Or did you travel?

[Jeff Fisher]

They came to see me. No, they came to see me.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. I didn't have to travel to them. I didn't have to travel to me.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. So. So I can kind of relate what he's going through right now, you know, and that's great. Now it's supposed to be a really good Christmas.

[Pat Gray]

Of course it is beautiful. He's using Symphony there in Prague and there's.

[Jeff Fisher]

And the symphony is playing in the background.

[Pat Gray]

While you see the studio in that video, you can think to yourself, well, there's not a studio like that in the United States of America.

[Jeff Fisher]

But no, they're all closed.

[Pat Gray]

All of them. They're all done. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

The only one available was in Prague. We discussed Czech Republic.

[Pat Gray]

That's on me. Yeah, I forgot that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, come on. Get with the program, would you, please?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's a limited number of studios that are available right now, so.

[Pat Gray]

I'm glad he got one.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Glad he got one.

[Jeff Fisher]

Me, too. Did you see the wba?

[Pat Gray]

The wn, the wnba.

[Jeff Fisher]

The WNBA is promoting. I don't know, something that's coming up.

[Pat Gray]

Well, they promoted yet two big games. Two big games. One of them was the Indiana Fever. And who's the. One of the biggest players in the WNBA and for plays for the Indiana Fever.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't. You're not talking about. I don't know. Are you talking about one of these women that they've shown? Do we. Do we have the.

[Pat Gray]

We should.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think.

[Pat Gray]

I think we do.

[Jeff Fisher]

We do have the photo. WNBA 1 and WNBA 2. Yeah, let's show both of those. Incredible. Good. Because this is who they're promoting.

[Pat Gray]

They go away from, I mean, you

[Jeff Fisher]

know, all the time. Okay. That's who they're promoting right there. I don't know their names. Not following the WNBA really, as I do or don't do one of the two, but there's somebody from Seattle and a woman from Indiana. Okay. And then there's. There's another one that shows the other team. There they are. There they are. And of course, no Caitlin Clark.

[Pat Gray]

No Caitlin.

[Jeff Fisher]

So it is so obvious now and so egregious. I mean, it should be an absolute embarrassment for the wnba.

[Pat Gray]

And then look, there the other players are. You know, the other player for the Indiana Fever is great. I mean, I. She means a lot to me and the team.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes. Yes.

[Pat Gray]

I can't remember her name right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. But that. Which is weird because she means so much to you.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know you would think it'd be emblazoned on your mind, but it's not.

[Pat Gray]

One would think that if you're promoting this and they're promoting this game and another game to be, you know, your prime. Come watch us. That one would use, you know, the most biggest star in the league that you have.

[Jeff Fisher]

The only star that anybody's even paid attention to in the history of the wnba. But this proves that they care more about their black lesbian agenda for sure, than they do the success of their business. And that's fine. I mean, I. I don't care about the wnba. I've never watched a single game. But it's definitely worth noting here. I think when this league finally, mercifully goes out of business, they can look back on this time period where they refused to even mention the best, most Popular player in their sport.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because she's the wrong color and the wrong sexual preference.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Can you imagine the opposite scenario here? If the league was full of straight white girls and a super talented black lesbian came in and turned the league upside down, why wouldn't you promote her? You would promote her. Can you imagine? And if you didn't.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

What would they say?

[Pat Gray]

That's what they would be saying.

[Jeff Fisher]

You're racist, you're horrific, you're discriminatory. It would be cataclysmic. I mean, it would be like the NBA ignoring LeBron James, the biggest star in the league. I mean there are really quality white guys in the NBA right now. There's, there's Cooper Flag, who's a rookie this year, Luca Doncic, Nicolo Jokic. And you know, they get their due. The. The NBA promotes these guys. Why can't the WNBA do the same thing?

[Pat Gray]

I don't understand it.

[Jeff Fisher]

They, it's bizarre.

[Pat Gray]

They just continue to shoot themselves in

[Jeff Fisher]

the foot over and over.

[Pat Gray]

Don't.

[Jeff Fisher]

And again, I don't understand. I don't really care. But it's just fascinating because it's that leftist agenda.

[Pat Gray]

Sure. Is.

[Jeff Fisher]

That they care more about than even promoting their league.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Here's somebody who's actually filling seats.

[Pat Gray]

Just got a new deal. I mean, she's helping you make back some of the money that you.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

You're in the, in the. Read about as it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Anyway, didn't they boost their minimum pay to 200, some,250 or something?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they've made everything.

[Jeff Fisher]

Everybody got rich.

[Pat Gray]

Everything. Everybody got more money.

[Jeff Fisher]

And it's because of Caitlin Clark.

[Pat Gray]

Correct. They are. Everybody's flying private now. Just like the NBA players do. You know what they. When they go to games, they don't have to fly domestic because people were going crazy. People were actually confronting players who were going up against Caitlyn. So Caitlyn Clark helped them there.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And here's the most interesting part of this perhaps is that Caitlyn Clark plays their game. She.

[Pat Gray]

She sure does.

[Jeff Fisher]

She plays right along with it.

[Pat Gray]

And okay, maybe she thinks that's the way. You know, obviously she does. Maybe that's how she's got to get along.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, how's it working so far?

[Jeff Fisher]

Not. Not well. I mean, I, I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know either.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's bizarre.

[Pat Gray]

Very bizarre.

[Jeff Fisher]

But Jeffy has more for us. Fabulous with the fat five.

[Pat Gray]

A couple weeks ago, Rachel Entertain had three goals for the Coco Donna 250 mile. Ultra Marathon in Arizona. And I know you didn't do it this year, Pat. You know you didn't take the Cocodona 250 mile this year.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, I didn't have to.

[Pat Gray]

Well, you would have lost because the first of that Rachel had was for the women's competitors to finish close to the 60 hour mark. The second was for a woman to place in the top three overall and third was to have three women finish in the top 10. She went three for three. She's 34 now. She set out for 250 miles through Central Arizona on Monday morning. By Wednesday afternoon she finished new course record 56 hours 9 minutes 48 seconds, becoming the first woman to win the race overall. I've never broke 60 on these, on these ultramarathons. So congratulations to her. It was a historic moment for ultra running. She also won outright. Behind her were, you know, two other females. And so she went three for three. As I said, she's 34. Finished the race, as I said, at 56 hours, nine minutes and 48 seconds. Slept 19 minutes. In that time she stayed hydrated with precision crafted electrolyte drinks and gels. Apparently had a coke or two, but a lot of mashed potatoes. And she's teamed up with this precision fuel and hydration team that load her up and she said that she's like a race car and the company, Emily, the company is, is the mechanic and the mastermind and just keeps her going.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's powerful.

[Pat Gray]

They feed her with powerful. They feed her. She said she gets fed the saccharine gels and shoes. The blander the better. Ramen, rice, broth, mashed potatoes. And if it's beige, I'm all over it. Okay, so congratulations to, to Rachel.

[Jeff Fisher]

Very excited about her behalf.

[Pat Gray]

Corka donut 250. But I'm clever.

[Jeff Fisher]

That is here.

[Pat Gray]

It's the race, it's the race where they run middle after 250 miles.

[Jeff Fisher]

250 miles. That's a long way. That's a long way.

[Pat Gray]

It is.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, it is.

[Pat Gray]

It takes a lot out of you.

[Jeff Fisher]

Heck yeah. It's thus the pickle juice or whatever

[Pat Gray]

it is she's getting sometimes. Like when you get, we hit that 200 mile mark, you want to quit.

[Jeff Fisher]

You do sometimes. But not me. I mean, I, I, that's when I realize time to push through it.

[Pat Gray]

Thank you. Somebody give me some mashed potatoes. 70 of Americans say they don't want data centers in their backyard. What for a new Gallup survey? The script is flipped and public opposition to Data centers is starting to solidify. A new Gallup survey asked a thousand Americans for their thoughts on data centers, and this is the first such survey. 70%, as I said, are opposed to the construction of AI data centers. And I would, I would say that the states are saying tough to you because they're building them. They are building. I guess there's some communities that are actually listening to the people and they've introduced some bands and moratoriums. But overall, many states are just moving on with them because it's a lot of money. And so good luck. Good luck to not being able to, you know, have the data center next to you. In fact, now it's kind of flipped on them. They, they're stronger. They're. They're stronger against data centers than they are having nuclear power plants in their backyard. So let's build them. Let's build them all. Let's go. I love this story. There's a narrow island in eastern Canada and it's, you know, it's beautiful. Although it's being battered by freezing winds, hundreds of gray seal pups lie dead every breeding season. And they have these oddly shaped wounds. And the injuries start at their mouth and corkscrew down to their chest. And it just. There they lay. And for years, scientists blamed sharks and humans, boat propellers for the bizarre deaths. It's easy. They published a new, a new report in Marine Mammal Science, which is great reading.

[Jeff Fisher]

I usually wait for the swimsuit edition. Take them out. Yeah, I haven't read this year's yet.

[Pat Gray]

The Marine Mammal Science Swimsuit Edition.

[Jeff Fisher]

Awesome. Yeah, yeah, really good.

[Pat Gray]

Apparently the, the gray seals are killing themselves. They're the bigger, meaner gray seals are killing the weaker small seals. Oh, no, it had nothing to do

[Jeff Fisher]

with say that humans.

[Pat Gray]

It's unbelievable to me. And they kept. They didn't want to say anything. They just reported it and moved on. So this story that I was reading actually had this Claudia Hernandez Camacho, who was a marine biologist and she's also got some other long title. The Interdisciplinary center for Marine Sciences at Mexico's National Polytechnic Institute. Okay, beautiful. Who is not involved in the study. She said, you know, studies like this are so important because they remind scientists that sometimes the killer isn't humans. Something much closer to home. Yeah, it's funny. Actual science, science changes and it's not the humans. Incredible anthropic is they've their $1.5 billion settlement for a class action lawsuit from authors over the copyright infringement has been halted. The federal judge presiding over the case said I want to find out why some class members objected to the settlement and opted out. Allow me to help you, your honor. They wanted to be able to sue Anthropic on their own. But what do I know?

[Jeff Fisher]

Because if you sue, if you're part

[Pat Gray]

of this class action, you're done with it.

[Jeff Fisher]

You're going to get A$95. Nobody cares about that.

[Pat Gray]

And you can't sue on your own.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right, Right.

[Pat Gray]

So.

[Jeff Fisher]

So who would want to do that? It's not worth it.

[Pat Gray]

Well, I mean you're hoping to get a cut of the 1.5 billion, right? If you're.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, but it's going to be a small little cut.

[Pat Gray]

If you're an author and everyone is, you know, you, you hope to get the, your little bit of cut. But the big authors, why would they?

[Jeff Fisher]

Why?

[Pat Gray]

I mean they still. Anthropic stole their, their worth.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

They deserve more than the 25 cents they're going to get in the class action. Right? Because we've all been a part of the class action. So that's what you end up with. You got a whole check for 25 cents, man.

[Jeff Fisher]

Party time. Don't spend that all in one place. That kind of generational wealth doesn't just fall out of the sky.

[Pat Gray]

Does not. That's doing the fat fat five. Be sure to subscribe to our show. Pat Gray Unleashed. Yes, daily happens right before this show, 7 to 9 Eastern on Blaze TV and other platforms. Or you can listen to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, no, I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's 74.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. So Jordan can't put an age on love.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, that's. Thank you. Thank you for that.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

A lot of Jordan's extended family has never met Bill, apparently. In fact, she doesn't have a relationship with many of them and hasn't talked to some of them in years. Oh, well, I'm. Imagine I. I imagine that bringing your boyfriend who is older than your grandfather, imagine bringing that guy home is just a tad awkward.

[Pat Gray]

First of all, it's Bill Belichick. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Legend, right? Stop it. They're bringing Bill to the.

[Jeff Fisher]

But again, 74. She's 25.

[Pat Gray]

Keep saying that like that's a bad thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it's. It's great. Okay? It's great. And if I was dating my grandmother, I'd be super proud, too. That'd be great. Oh, man, what a world.

[Pat Gray]

[Pat Gray]

Allegedly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Allegedly. There's just video of it happening, but don't let that bother you.

[Pat Gray]

They won't. They don't have it.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know. I mean, this is murdering scumbag is bad enough all on his own. But what makes this whole situation even worse are all the women lined up around the corner of the courthouse.

[Pat Gray]

They wrote up trying to get a

[Jeff Fisher]

glimpse of him and holding up signs that say Free Luigi. Yeah, he murdered somebody. Free Luigi is sick. You bet. You bet. Any woman who's there for that purpose should automatically have their voting rights revoked. Permanently.

[Pat Gray]

Really?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Yes. If you're there for Luigi and you just want to see this hunk.

[Pat Gray]

What if I don't have a T shirt that says Free Luigi? What if I'm just there?

[Jeff Fisher]

Are you there for Luigi?

[Pat Gray]

Well, yeah, but I don't have a teacher.

[Jeff Fisher]

Are you supporting Luigi?

[Pat Gray]

Well, yeah, but I don't have a teacher.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. I'm sorry. No vote. You can't vote anymore.

[Pat Gray]

Ever.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. To make this murdering coward into a hero just shows.

[Pat Gray]

It's amazing.

[Jeff Fisher]

It shows how. How effective the efforts of the Marxists in the Democrat Party have been at creating class warfare and an eat the rich mentality in this country.

[Pat Gray]

Boy, that's for sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

This is one of the many reasons that no modern liberal democracy has ever, ever lasted 250 years. None of them zero. It's also why we're not a democracy. That's why I keep emphasizing that point, even though I know some, no doubt, find it a little bit nitpicky. It isn't.

[Pat Gray]

Still, I mean, the. If we just start. If we would have stopped them early, we wouldn't have to do it now, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

That's right.

[Pat Gray]

That whole democracy thing was.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yep.

[Pat Gray]

For them to. To reverse what we really are.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's right. And we're not. We're not a democracy. We're a constitutionally mandated republic. Democratic republic. Why are we a republic? Well, because democracies don't work. All democracies get to the point where it's become two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. And guess what? The Majority rules. We're eating sheep tonight. When the lower economic classes start resenting, envying and hating all that the upper class has, then they become the wolves in society. And they make no secret about it. Just last week, we heard AOC proclaim that billionaires shouldn't exist. And if they do exist, it's only because they exploited, they cheated, they stole their way to that fortune.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, she's not alone in believing that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Not by a long shot. So many, probably most, millennials believe that. In New York City, Zaran Mamdani made one of the most inexcusable and irresponsible videos I've ever seen a politician make. When he pointed out Ken Griffin's point Penthouse a couple of weeks ago in New York City, pointed right to it. He said, here's. There's where a billionaire lives. What, like you, because you want him to be dragged out of his house and, and killed in the street?

[Pat Gray]

Well, if he were to answer honestly, the answer would be yes, yes, yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think that's true. So we're in a really dangerous place right now, and we got to get a grip on this class warfare. It can't happen. This is America. We're capitalists. We know that it's, it's great to be, to be successful. And you should be rewarded for your efforts. Why not? I mean, look at the billionaires in this country. Look at Elon Musk. Was that fortune given to him?

[Pat Gray]

No, he lied.

[Jeff Fisher]

Bill Gates steeled as much. As much as I don't like Bill Gates, he. Well, he stole his way to that. He stole it from IBM.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Bill Gates is not a good example. Jeff Bezos.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that guy, that guy started a

[Jeff Fisher]

company in his garage. Look at Amazon today.

[Pat Gray]

We'll start it in the garage, too.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, Steve Jobs and Apple with Wozniak. I mean, these guys had an idea, put it to use, and developed it into things that changed the world. I mean, has anybody changed the world as much as Apple did?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, but between Apple and Amazon, oh,

[Jeff Fisher]

my gosh, it's unbelievable.

[Pat Gray]

The world changed.

[Jeff Fisher]

I remember in the late 90s when, you know, the, the scooter, the, the segue.

[Pat Gray]

The segue, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Was invented and they wouldn't say what it was yet, but it was something that was going to change civilization. It's going to change the way were developed and whatever. And that was so untrue. It came out and it changed the way mall cops get around the mall. That's all.

[Pat Gray]

It's posted some postmen. Yeah, yeah, a couple of those but

[Jeff Fisher]

then Apple came along and really did change the world. The iPhone, the iPad, all of those things changed the world. So did Amazon.

[Pat Gray]

Amazon did most change.

[Jeff Fisher]

The way we shop changed a lot of different things.

[Pat Gray]

I mean the world changed, really did. The way we expect goods to be delivered to us. Yeah. And how. It's incredible.

[Jeff Fisher]

I saw a, a movie last week called BlackBerry. Have you seen that? It's streaming now.

[Pat Gray]

Oh. Because it's about the rise.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's about the rise and fall.

[Pat Gray]

I loved BlackBerry.

[Jeff Fisher]

I, it was a great movie. It's a really good.

[Pat Gray]

I love, I love the actual BlackBerry.

[Jeff Fisher]

Some of it is fictionalized. It's. It's the main characters. That part's real. Most of what they went through is, is real in it. But you see how BlackBerry started out and really started to change things and it really became a big part of people's lives. Business people. Remember it was called crackberry for a while cuz people couldn't stop looking at it, they couldn't stop using it. And then along came Apple and the iPhone and that wiped them out. I mean BlackBerry doesn't even do blackberries anymore.

[Pat Gray]

Some of us held on to our blackberries until the last moment.

[Pete Hegseth]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. We're not giving it up. I still haven't, I still have a, an Android phone. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

But it's not a BlackBerry.

[Pat Gray]

No, it is not.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's like, it's not Google.

[Pat Gray]

It's actually better than a BlackBerry. This is Samsung.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah. So better than the BlackBerry. But I, yes. Apple came along and it was a new world.

[Jeff Fisher]

It was over.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean they wiped him out in a year probably, if not less than that. As soon as they came up with the touch screen man, that changed society.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that kind of innovation shouldn't be rewarded. People shouldn't.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Experience a life changing event from that.

[Pat Gray]

Whoever, whoever created the touchscreen. I'm incredible fan of you. I'm a fan of you.

[Jeff Fisher]

Me too.

[Pat Gray]

My wife has a laptop at our house. Beautiful laptop, big laptop she uses to edit photographs. And it doesn't, it's not a touch screen.

[Jeff Fisher]

I hate it.

[Pat Gray]

I feel like we're living in caveman days when she shows me stuff on it because she shows me stuff and I reach out to move the screen and it's like, what are. I can't. What are we doing?

[Jeff Fisher]

I know. It's like, what is this from?

[Pat Gray]

We need dinosaur.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know this, this is supposed to be. What's in front of me is supposed to be a touch screen. And it was. Something went wrong.

[Pat Gray]

With it.

[Jeff Fisher]

And now I don't even know how to.

[Pat Gray]

Oh wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I can't even function now. It's thrown me completely off. It takes me an hour longer.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

To do anything I'm trying to do. Now I have to plan for an extra hour because it doesn't have my touch screen anymore. I. I don't know if it broke. I don't know if I touched something and that made it non touchable.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know what I seem to remember. I seem to remember one of the so called experts of this building.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Coming in and not being able to fix it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. Right.

[Pat Gray]

So.

[Jeff Fisher]

So I don't know. It's time to throw it away now. It's junk. It's just garbage now. But that's how much our lives have changed with this.

[Pat Gray]

Kids in the Sudan would look at that and say what? No touch screen? No throw it away.

[Jeff Fisher]

Definite first world problem.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

Definitely a first world. It just shows how great our lives are.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

Isn't it? In the United States of America we have pretty great lives.

[Pat Gray]

No question. And it's because of capitalism.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's. It sure is. It sure is. And I hope that we can get that through the rising generations heads. Because they've been indoctrinated with the opposite ideology on that they. They think the opposite. Capitalism sucks. Socialism is great.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Socialist society ever changed the world.

[Pat Gray]

Collective is the way. It's important. It's important for everyone.

[Jeff Fisher]

How many of these products that we use every day. Count them up in your head really quickly. Are Russian?

[Pat Gray]

You want me to do it this fast?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I mean that's kind of embarrassing to me right now. Try to come up with a number like that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right? Yeah. Because there's so much.

[Pat Gray]

I'm gonna take a shot. Okay. Go take a shot. Zero.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's about that. Unless you drink vodka. BJ brings up vodka. That might be a Russian.

[Pat Gray]

I apologize.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know that they invented it.

[Pat Gray]

And I don't think people are using it daily. And if you are. Please ckale. But.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

You know.

[Jeff Fisher]

But okay. I'll give you vodka.

[Pat Gray]

And those. Those are probably on a ship in the straight hour moves. So we can't even get that right.

[Jeff Fisher]

You're not even getting that right now. I mean China is the same way. What do you have that's uniquely Chinese that they came up with that they didn't steal from us? Is there anything? I can't think of anything. A lot of it's manufactured there but they didn't come up with it. There's we did. And then we sent it to them because they'll work for cheap. They'll do 10 cents an hour and they'll send it back to us and it'll be.

[Pat Gray]

And not only that, you know, another thing that they do, which is really. Which is a crime, and we let it happen. We go. We send something over there to be manufactured for us.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know. I like a computer, for example, and they make it and send it to us to sell. Well, then they come up, then they copy it and make another factory.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Makes the same computer.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Only under a different name. And they send it here to sell it. But that's using our proprietary information.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And our blueprint.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. It's bad. That's not. That's not. That's not right.

[Pat Gray]

That takes. That takes sales away from this product.

[Jeff Fisher]

Exactly.

[Pat Gray]

The original product. It really.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Shouldn't be allowed. And I guess, you know, they would say, well, it's not allowed, but they let it happen.

[Jeff Fisher]

And what was great in one of the things that was great about the BlackBerry movie is that they talk about how you send things to China, and they wouldn't at first. BlackBerry had everything manufactured here because they trusted American workers. And when they sent it to China, they knew that they didn't give a crap about America, the products that they're assembling. And so they didn't. They didn't take the time to do it. Right. And so only at the end, when they were really in trouble, did they go ahead and say, okay, send it to China. When they were starting to realize, yeah, the jig is up and we're not going to make it with this Apple thing happening. And by the way, Apple sends all their stuff to China where it's assembled.

[Pat Gray]

Well, I think they, they actually, I think some of it is in India now. And they claimed, I guess they. They made a deal with Trump that they were going to start doing it. And I don't know what percentage, you know, they're going to have.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

In the US Here in India and here in China. But, I mean, Tim Cook, who's not the CEO anymore, just sits on the board. He took a trip to that China with President Trump. I mean, he was there.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. So has he officially stepped down or is it Carson?

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think it might be coming. They've made the announcement. But I, I think he's, like, helping.

[Pat Gray]

I'm thinking of Disney. Yeah, you're right. Tim hasn't. Hasn't.

[Jeff Fisher]

But he will stop. I think it's the end of the year.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right, we got more coming up in one minute. NMLS 182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799 for well qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms. Summer used to mean a couple of cookouts, a road trip, maybe taking the kids somewhere for a few days. Now it feels like every time you walk out the front door, it costs $300 and you're pretty well tapped out before you even get fairly started. Gas prices, vacations, summer camps, tuition payments, groceries. It just keeps stacking up. And for a lot of people, the credit card starts feeling like the only way to keep everything moving. Well, that's why I want you to talk to American Financing. They help homeowners look at ways to use their home equity to consolidate high interest debt into one more manageable monthly payment, which could mean real breathing room in your budget again. And what I like is that there is no pressure and no upfront fees. Just real people helping you look at real options. On average, their customers are saving $800 a month. And right now you may be able to even delay two mortgage payments. There's no upfront fees. To find out if you qualify, just call 800-906-2440. That's 800-906-2440. Or go to americanfinancing.net 10 seconds, station 8. Coming on. Speaking of movies, as we were a moment ago with the BlackBerry movie, what was number one over the weekend? This is kind of amazing.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, Michael.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because Michael. Michael shot back up to the top of the chart again.

[Pat Gray]

Pretty amazing.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, what was it, third last week or something?

[Pat Gray]

This was the fourth week.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

That he's been on at the theaters. And it broke back to number one. Devil Prada 2 or whatever, whatever it is was number two. And that's their. This was their second week.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Week three, week three for product.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So Michael goes back to number one. I mean, Michael has already hit like 703.9 million globally. It's gonna. And it hasn't even opened to Japan yet, so. And you know, Japan loves Michael Jackson.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So I mean, it's. That's by far the best, you know, biopic. Biopic in history. I mean, he's making. Cranking out the numbers definitely worth doing another one for sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

And it says at the end of the movie, I mean, his story continues. So I think there's another one coming And I think everybody knows it well.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, this movie's already making at least 700 million. Gonna probably break a billion. Yeah, we can go ahead and do another one.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah, let's give that the green light.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, we could go ahead and do that. Just go ahead. Have a script to be next week.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's gonna be interesting how they treat the next one, because you're getting into the years where the controversies start. I mean, there were already some. But it was like the monkey. All right, he's got a llama. He's weird, but yeah, he had a zoo. Okay. He didn't have a child.

[Pat Gray]

It was Neverland.

[Jeff Fisher]

So he's got a zoo.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it was Neverland.

[Jeff Fisher]

Whatever. But then there's some other things that are about to take place, apparently. I mean, I. I really believe. Now I'm back to believing. I mean, I go back and forth on Michael Jackson. I don't. I don't know that he did it. I don't know. I don't know what he did.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know either. The latest. The latest charges are from people who for years were, for him, decades.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. This family that is all over him and. And are suing him for over $200 million now. Suing his estate for years. Were adamant that he didn't do anything to them. All three of them. I know Michael. No, he never did anything.

[Pat Gray]

The Michael Jackson foundation family, too. Because for years, I mean, anytime Michael came on the radio, my son would cry and so.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow. I. That's the first time hearing it.

[Pat Gray]

Well, I don't like to talk about it because it was so. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Obviously dramatic. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So I'm gonna sue them, too. That's got to be worth, what, 100 million?

[Jeff Fisher]

This does seem like a money grab from this family.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, absolutely. Seems like a money grab. So Prada was two, and then Obsession, which was brand new from Blumhouse, you know, was number three. 16 million. Mortal Kombat. Second week drops down to.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

What? Drops all the way down to 2, 3, 4, 3.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, that didn't do that well.

[Pat Gray]

Sheep Detectives, which I'm sure is hilarious.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sounds great. I'd have no idea what it is.

[Pat Gray]

Super Mario Galaxy movie still hanging in there. They've been on week seven. For them, they're almost at a billion. That's huge. Project Hail Mary hanging in their Top Gun anniversary. They re released a double billing of that. So, I mean, this weekend you have.

[Jeff Fisher]

Is this the Mandalorian?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, this weekend. So.

[Jeff Fisher]

Be interesting to see how that does.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I Mean, I'm sure it's probably going to be Michael, but we'll see.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know we'll see. More coming up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 888 727B. Eck we were talking about Luigi Manone Manone, whatever his name is.

[Pat Gray]

Is it Chuck Manone or Chuck Man, Chuck Manone.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Yeah. This is. This is a poor rich kid from Baltimore who had no issue. Really. The initial thing was that he had some back issue that wasn't covered by

[Pat Gray]

none of that which I think was bs. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

That was all BS Turned out to be the case. He didn't even have a reason.

[Pat Gray]

No, he was doing it on behalf of other people or whatever. I mean he murdered. He murdered this Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO. Yeah. On behalf of other people. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

On behalf of. Well, thank you.

[Pat Gray]

United. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. And I appreciate him thinking of me, but that's okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable.

[Pat Gray]

I mean it surely is.

[Jeff Fisher]

And then because he's handsome, you got these women falling all over this murderer is evil murderer.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And yesterday there was an interesting ruling by the judge.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

On some of the evidence because he's.

[Pat Gray]

He separated it out which I found weird because they were. The prosecutors can't admit some Items in Manjoni's backpack when they arrested him at McDonald's. Because, you know, there's a. There was a loaded magazine, a passport, and a wallet that they can't use, but they could use the notebook and the manifest. The notebook found in his bag. They could use that. That's his manifesto. Just really kind of strange. I'm not quite sure. They assumed that it was going to be all or nothing. Right. And so it was.

[Jeff Fisher]

They separated it out, though, and it. It sounds like the stuff that he okayed to be used as evidence is going to be enough to convict him.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely, yes. It was a timeline issue of when they. When they arrested him and when they took the backpack.

[Jeff Fisher]

It sounded to me like anything that got from the backpack when they were at the McDonald's is inadmissible. And then when they took him to the police station, it was admissible.

[Pat Gray]

And that was the gun in the notebook. So, I mean, that'll be, you know,

[Jeff Fisher]

he should be enough.

[Pat Gray]

He's pled not guilty of duh, of course, but he is. He's pled not guilty to nine state felony charges, including secondary murder and various counts, you know, related to his possession of a weapon. He's pleaded not guilty in the separate federal case which charges him with two counts of stalking. And each of those charges have a maximum sentence of life without parole. And I think the state is 30 years or something like that. So, I mean, he's not. If found guilty, he won't get out of jail. You know, I mean, they. You know, we'll see what happens. I mean, the bullets remember the. I've forgotten about this, but they have the. They recovered the shell casings with the words delay, deny, depose written on them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So weird. But, you know, they have that. And so, you know, added to how

[Jeff Fisher]

handsome he is, you know, when he wrote those, that's what it was, because they sell license alliteration to them. It's so weird.

[Pat Gray]

Really weird.

[Jeff Fisher]

The whole thing is a fascination with this guy.

[Pat Gray]

So the trial is freaky. Trial is not even set to be until September. And then they have the federal trial, which is supposed to take place, you know, sometime next in the fall as well. So he continues to be in jail.

[Jeff Fisher]

So hopefully he'll be found guilty and he'll stay there. He'll stay in prison absolutely. The rest of his life. He's not charged with a capital offense.

[Pat Gray]

Well, they're not. They're not asking for the death penalty, but I don't know if there is one.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Is there one In New York.

[Pat Gray]

I don't remember.

[Jeff Fisher]

I doubt it.

[Pat Gray]

There is, it may be. Most of the, There might be a death penalty, but they're, they don't kill anyone anymore. So. Yeah, they give you the death penalty, but.

[Jeff Fisher]

But you sit in jail the rest of your life.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

So, I mean, good luck to him, really. All the best.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really. You mean that? Oh, all the best, huh?

[Pat Gray]

There's nothing. I, I love people who just walk up to people on the street and shoot them. Yeah, yeah. Because of, for, on behalf of other people, you know, that means a lot. You know, we had the shooting in San Diego at the, you know, at the mosque.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

It's just terrible. It's just terrible. And then, you know that they, these

[Jeff Fisher]

two teenagers killed three adult men at the mosque. There were a lot of children on the premise and they didn't kill anything. Thank goodness.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, the security guard, none of them got hurt. Yeah, the security guard was, you know, really did his job, although it cost him his life. But, you know, they took off and they finally found him. San Diego police used all their, all the, all their messaging apps and their special license plate readers to find them quickly. And they had, they had a. I guess they found a gas can in the car that had what they claim is a Nazi sticker on it. So I'm not sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

The one, I think it said SS on it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it looked like, you know, okay, is that.

[Jeff Fisher]

But weird.

[Pat Gray]

All right. I mean, the one kid I think was a Mexican. Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hispanic sounding name.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. And so, you know, I don't know that you can become a Nazi. I guess you could become one like

[Jeff Fisher]

if you're, I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

They allow you in the group. Yeah, Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know. The whole thing is just so bizarre.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So bizarre.

[Pat Gray]

You don't know the rules. I don't know the Nazi group.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't, I don't. Does that surprise you? No, I don't know the numbers.

[Pat Gray]

I just thought maybe, you know, you've been asked or something.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, I haven't even been asked to join, so that's good. Also, Africa's top public health officials yesterday confirmed an Ebola outbreak. So we got that going for us too.

[Pat Gray]

That's great.

[Jeff Fisher]

There is a current Ebola outbreak happening in a northeastern province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 246 suspected cases and now 80 deaths have been reported with four definitely linked to Ebola via lab testing. So they've, they're for sure four who have died. They haven't, I guess Lab tested the others.

[Pat Gray]

Right. But, I mean, they know that it is.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's the Congo's 17th recorded outbreak since Ebola was first identified in 1976 in Africa. Why do people live in Congo? I mean, here's the thing. Move something.

[Pat Gray]

Some people move, some people can't. They can't see outside of their own.

[Jeff Fisher]

Is that what it is?

[Pat Gray]

You know what some people can't see out of their own prison.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

And they. So the answers are there to say are there.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

It just.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

You can't look past them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

So that's where they're from. And they're.

[Jeff Fisher]

It doesn't seem like, like the best place to raise a family. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

[Pat Gray]

Here's the thing. If. If the DRC is, you know, too violent for you or there's, you know,

[Jeff Fisher]

too much, you don't want to work in the mines. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

A lot of people go to Uganda and South Sudan. Uhhuh. And that means.

[Jeff Fisher]

You just said they couldn't. They can't do that.

[Pat Gray]

Well, I'm saying some of them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, so some of them do.

[Pat Gray]

But. But amazingly, Uganda and South Sudan I don't think is much better.

[Jeff Fisher]

And no, they've also got Ebola going on.

[Pat Gray]

Right?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Because they travel from the drc. So here's the thing. They could stay there. You know, they'd have to go anywhere.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

There's some Americans over there, I think, that, you know, end up getting Ebola.

[Jeff Fisher]

Was it three? I think we. I think I heard that. Are there. Anyway.

[Pat Gray]

That's three too many.

[Jeff Fisher]

Ebola is believed to be naturally hosted by fruit bats. That I did not know.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, Mr. Covid, conspiracy theory. So comes from bats.

[Jeff Fisher]

Apparently. You have to be. Do you have to be bitten by a bat. Fruit bat in order to get Ebola?

[Pat Gray]

I.

[Jeff Fisher]

What if we wiped out the fruit? Would that help?

[Pat Gray]

There's a thought.

[Jeff Fisher]

How about we kill the fruit?

[Pat Gray]

There's a thought. And then you'd have a fight over the fruit bat lovers. We can't get rid of those.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, geez.

[Pat Gray]

And. And. And maybe. Maybe.

[Jeff Fisher]

Probably. What would happen.

[Pat Gray]

Maybe they're good for the planet. Maybe the fruit bats do something for the planet that I'm not aware of.

[Jeff Fisher]

If they host Ebola, they're not good for the planet. I'm gonna go out on that limb, and I'm willing to. I'm willing. Maybe it's just me that's out there.

[Pat Gray]

I think it might be because it's just a side effect. The Ebola Is just a side effect of, you know, of the goodness that they provide. Oh, I don't know what that is just yet. Well, I don't wanna. I don't want to besmirch fruit bats just because of one little.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, I'm willing to. Ebola I'm willing to. Ebola can cause severe gastrointestinal distress and unexplained bleeding. So if you're bleeding from your eyes or ears and you don't know why, and there's chance it's a bowl, probably. Probably don't want that.

[Pat Gray]

If you start sweating and maybe a little blood, don't touch people.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. And we found out a few years ago. Do you remember in the song We Do I.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

The. The song which was called Living Ebola Free. Yeah. Do we have. Here it is.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. I love this song.

[Jeff Fisher]

Just a little reminder for you. This will help you get through the Ebola epic. Don't lick vomit off the street and I know you don't want to die so slowly back away from that infected guy that's good advice Good advice. Free yeah don't eat that raw meat and see we'll all be Ebola free

[Pat Gray]

It's good advice I'm telling you Keep

[Jeff Fisher]

away from those sweaty sheets Keep away from discharge that secretes and if you want to call me your fear Put down the glass of diarrhea Stainy bola free Stay any bola free don't touch others Poop and pee and we'll be Ebola free It's good advice Just wash your hands and you will see we can be Ebola free I mean, you are welcome. Can we loan this to the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Just to help. We're just helpers here. There's some good safety tips in that song.

[Pat Gray]

We may have to. I have to run it through the old translator.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But, you know, I think Ebola is pretty much said the same way. Right. So they'll get the idea.

[Jeff Fisher]

The virus does spread between humans through direct contact with body fluids. And past outbreaks have carried fatality rates ranging from 25% to 90%. That's a pretty wide range. What does that depend on, I Wonder? Wow. From 25% to 90%.

[Pat Gray]

Probably. Probably. How long would you wait to get help? Right? I mean, maybe know that, but I'm just guessing, like, if you think you're sick and you're, you know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

You lay down, you don't go see a doc, and there might not be a doctor available. And in some of these places. So. Except when the World Health Organization sends people in. So then you're, you know, you're days in of the illness before you actually get help, if you get help at all.

[Jeff Fisher]

Is this the one that doesn't have a vaccine at all?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they said this.

[Jeff Fisher]

Is there some strain?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they said this was some strain that's not, not part of the Zaire species of the Ebola, which they have

[Jeff Fisher]

a vaccine for, which is the only

[Pat Gray]

one, one of four with a licensed vaccine.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Wow.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

But again, there's no infection in the United States. As far as far as I know, nobody has it here.

[Pat Gray]

And if you're a United States citizen in the drc, stay there and stay

[Jeff Fisher]

away from other people's poop and pee. Okay? And you'll stay. Washington talks America.

[Pat Gray]

Bill, you're on the right end of that sentence. Glenn Beck, back in a flash.

[Commercial Announcer]

So many people are living every day with pain that they just think they're stuck with it. It is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. I want to tell you about a letter I got from Oregon. Guy named George and his relief factor story. George, hardworking guy, spends 10 hours a day in a garbage truck. Tough job made even tougher because he's dealing with a sore right knee that just wouldn't bend. But here's the amazing part. George started taking relief factor and it changed his life. And he said in his letter to me, and I quote, I can bend my knee again with very little pain. I can relate to George. There was a time when I wondered if I could continue working because my pain was so bad.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. Triple 8727 Beck. Just to show you the genius that is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, we present this fabulous. Who is she talking to here? I don't remember.

[Pat Gray]

She went down to Alabama. Yeah, she went down to Alabama and she's, she's touring because she's upset about the redistricting and those the damn Supreme Court.

[Jeff Fisher]

So she's in Alabama yelling about redistricting and Whatever. Here she is.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

It is time for the north to

[Pat Gray]

pull up to the sour.

[Jeff Fisher]

To pull up.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

It is time for New York to pull up. Up to Alabama.

[Jeff Fisher]

What does that mean?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

It is time for all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Mississippi and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Because it is not a coincidence. Incidents. And our whole country must understand that it was not until voting rights were ratified in this country that we got the Great Society. Because when black Americans have the right to vote is protected, our schools get funded.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

When voting rights are protected, health care gets expanded.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

When voting rights are protected, our country moves forward. And Montgomery, that's what they're actually afraid of, are they? They're afraid of us coming together. They're afraid of us protecting one another.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what we're.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Alabama is the crucible.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's a group.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Georgia is the crucible. Tennessee, Louisiana. Mississippi is the crucible.

[Jeff Fisher]

Those are a lot.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

So if you are not from here, it is time to pull up. Because what they thought was the. The final blow is actually just the opening silo.

[Pat Gray]

Opening silo. Opening silo.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's opening salvo there, pumpkin.

[Pat Gray]

She just read it wrong.

[Jeff Fisher]

Nice try. No, she just read it wrong. She thinks it's an opening silo.

[Pat Gray]

That's what she.

[Jeff Fisher]

Otherwise, when you say it, you go, oh, I. I didn't mean. No, no, no, that's not salvo silo. It's s. Elvo. That's. That's what you do. Oh, but she didn't do that.

[Pat Gray]

No, she did not.

[Jeff Fisher]

She.

[Pat Gray]

She. No, she did not. And she. She does absolutely does not know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Unbelievable. Pass it on.

[Glenn Beck]

Crank the game. Glam back is on.

[Jeff Fisher]

Glam.

[Pat Gray]

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

[Jeff Fisher]

There is a fun race for mayor in Los Angeles, and we'll get into the latest on that particular race and then check things out across the country with a couple other cities, major cities that are going through some things right now. That and much more coming up in 60 seconds. You can learn a lot about a person by walking through their house. You see the height marks on the wall where they measured their kids growing up. The scratch on the floor from the time somebody dragged a Christmas tree stand through the living room, the back patio where a hundred barbecues happened. A house is never just a house. That's why buying or selling one is a lot more emotional than People sometimes expect it to be. And it's also why the person helping you through that process matters so much. That's why Glenn started Real Estate Agents I trust. He wanted to build a network of professionals who understand that they're not just moving property around on a spreadsheet. They're helping people through some of the biggest transitions of their lives. Because for most people, home is one of the most important words in the English language. So please check out realestateagentsitrust.com and they'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in a tough market. The name says it all. That's Realestate Agents I Trust dot com.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Except not. It's Pat and Jeffy this week for Glad, who is actually off this week. He's actually in Prague.

[Pat Gray]

He's on vacation.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, he's on vacation. Did a little vacation clip yesterday, I think.

[Pat Gray]

He did. He did. I haven't seen a followup. I don't know how. The dinner with the.

[Jeff Fisher]

With the prime minister.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I'm sure it's, you know, if

[Jeff Fisher]

it went like mine, like my dinner with the prime minister last weekend, it'll be great.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll do. But private, I mean.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if I had a dime for all the prime ministers I've dined with. Yeah, well, I'd have a dime, so. But I don't. I don't have that dime, actually.

[Pat Gray]

Even when you're on vacation?

[Jeff Fisher]

Even when I'm on vacation. Especially when I'm on vacation. Yeah. So weird. Isn't it, though? All right, so Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles against Karen Bass and some other council member. Council member.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Inconsequential.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. But he has produced some incredibly great commercials through AI and he's also done some actual real ones where he shows that he has a trailer on his burned out house property Right. Now, it turns out he may not actually be living there. Oh, no.

[Pat Gray]

Well, TMZ has reported on that.

[Jeff Fisher]

They have, they have. And he was asked about that.

[Pat Gray]

Well, he. He. Now there's. There's two. We have the. There's the compilation video, right. That shows all the things that he's said and all the things that really have been said about him throughout the campaign so far.

[Jeff Fisher]

We'll get to that in a second.

[Pat Gray]

Which is incredible. But TMZ went after him for his. For his not living on the property all the time.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

And instead of taking it and putting his tail between his legs, he decided that he's going to fight back with his Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

[Jeff Fisher]

Pretty good.

[Glenn Beck]

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I had to take a minute to run for mayor. I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.

[Pat Gray]

As he pulls his trailer to Bel Air. Hilarious.

[Glenn Beck]

West Los Angeles Palisade to my back backyard is where I spent most of my days feeding hummingbirds, relaxing all cool, avoiding all the bums outside of the school.

[Pat Gray]

When a couple pokes, just showing the devastation of Los Angeles, my neighborhood.

[Glenn Beck]

I got one little fire. My mom got scared and said, you're moving in with Harvey Levin and Bel Air.

[Pat Gray]

See? Not taking what you got, tfz. Yep, yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's this trailer haul in my trailer

[Glenn Beck]

out from my lot about seven or eight. And I yelled to the rubble, yo, host. Smell you later. I moved to my kingdom. I was finally there to sit on my throne as a prince of Bel Air.

[Pat Gray]

Think about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Pretty good.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, Very fun.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's run a heck of a campaign.

[Pat Gray]

He has.

[Jeff Fisher]

And here's some highlights from that. Here's kind of a montage of some of the things he's. He's been doing. There's been debates. There's been, you know, the. The videos that he's done.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, he's done interviews. That. That one interview before we get to the montage that I think it was 60 Minutes did with him, and they cut it way down, and they weren't going to air at all. And he, you know, he went on social media and called him out, and then they released it all. You know what? You're right. And we should do that in today's world. You betcha.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yep.

[Pat Gray]

And they did. And it was not bad at all. It was really good for him.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's a few minutes with Spencer Pratt.

[Glenn Beck]

They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That's why I'm running for mayor for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm not sure how to respond to

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

that vision of Los Angeles. This is a MAGA Republicans idea of

[Jeff Fisher]

what Los Angeles looks like.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

This is. This is really not

[Glenn Beck]

any authority with this homelessness. She's the third most powerful person in city council. She runs the homeless housing thing. She acts like this is just Mayor Bass. First off, inside safe. I like to say inside safe makes all of us outside unsafe. The reality is, no matter how many beds you give these people they are on super meth. They are on fentanyl. The DEA statistics says 93% of this is a drug addiction problem. Councilman Robin's plan for treatment. First, I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she's going to offer treatment for. She's going to get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth. These ideas cost us over $400 million to house for 75. What did you say? 3,000 people for 400 million is an

[Pat Gray]

absolute failure for that.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, when the mayor was in Ghana, as everything was burning down, do you know who she left in charge? Her deputy mayor. Do you know where the deputy mayor was?

[Pat Gray]

I don't.

[Glenn Beck]

The deputy mayor. Where was Mayor Karen Bass. Debbie Mayor was on house arrest because she was arrested for calling in a bomb threat to City Hall. This is real life.

[Pat Gray]

Many have compared you to Zora Mandani.

[Glenn Beck]

The one thing I connect with is I know he promised his voters, like, the subway will be free. And I'm promising my voters the metro. The metro buses, the metro trains, they will be free from urine feces stabbing attacks. So that's kind of similar. We both had free things for public transportation, and then once we started enforcing laws, boom, Streets will be back. You know who. Also, I'm going to bring in the cdc because there's medieval diseases in these encampments. They're not swabbing these encampments. They're not swabbing the streets. People are just living in feces and drug use and dogs burning and body. We need these streets cleaned.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. This is a yes or no question, an answer. So there's a council member. He wants voters to decide. He is saying that non citizens, should

[Glenn Beck]

they be allowed to vote in local elections?

[Pat Gray]

Is this a yes or no, Mr. Pratt?

[Glenn Beck]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

It depends. It's not a yes or no. Well, first of all, when you say non citizens, it doesn't mean they're here illegal. It doesn't mean they're undocumented. They could have green cards. They could be perfectly legal. And there's a lot of states and cities that do that. On very, very local elections, we.

[Jeff Fisher]

Unbelievable.

[Glenn Beck]

What the councilman is proposing.

[Jeff Fisher]

Council member Bremen.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Yeah. I would say again, it does depend in other cases.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, she's just bare bass.

[Jeff Fisher]

Non citizens, yes or no.

[Glenn Beck]

Both of these people have been the reason why there's no more Hollywood. Not to mention, even if they do, you know, these things, we're still Going to have drug addicts all over the street because their treatment first open beds, not mandatory treatment. Do you know, I talk to producers, they have to pay gang members right now to keep the streets safe to go anything on the streets of la. So absolutely no. These two politicians have failed. Hollywood times a thousand. I'm no longer a reality star. And also, it's funny, I keep being called a reality star. I'm the only candidate living in reality. Downtown is so unsafe now that they have served the food, all the employees have to eat inside. They. They can't risk going out. That's why all these beautiful restaurants are closing, because it's so unsafe. So before we require city workers to go back into any buildings, we need to enforce the laws on the street. Councilman Rahman is talking about safety. Yet when animal rescue activist Rebecca Corey came in and said the dogs are being tortured and abused on the streets of Dunhole, she walked out of the hearing. She doesn't care about safety. She doesn't care about. About anything she's talking about. At least Mayor Bass pretends to care. I ran because I experienced what city leadership failure at the ultimate level is. That's why I stepped up. That's what cuts through. So the media and everyone wants to jump on and be like, oh, Spencer's our guy. No, I'm the citizen. I am the angry taxpayer. You can be a Democrat and love me. You can be a Republican, love me. The only people that don't love me, communists and socialist. I don't want them to love me. Are you saying you live in that trailer?

[Jeff Fisher]

Love it.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't live anywhere is what I'm saying. I don't have a house. They burned it down. Har. First off, Mayor Bass and I are definitely not working together. I blame this person for burning my house and my parents house and my town and all my neighbors down. I am not working with Mayor Bass. Second off, if I wanted to run against anybody, it would be the council member who is terrible. Mayor Bass has at least been a mayor for almost four years and has, as she talked about earlier, the unions, all the unions endorsed Mayor Bass. You think it's easier to run against the incumbent mayor with all the unions or a random city council member who's been a failure for six years. I would much rather run against Councilwoman Rahman. Thank you very much.

[Pat Gray]

No doubt.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's incredible.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, if you're in Los Angeles, I don't know how you make the decision to vote for Karen Bass.

[Jeff Fisher]

It doesn't make any sense.

[Pat Gray]

It makes Zero sense.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, both she and the councilwoman said that it depends.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Whether or not non citizens can vote. No, it doesn't. What are you talking about? If you're not a citizen. And that was the question.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, non citizen.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's illegal for. I don't care if you're here illegally or legally. If you're here and you're not a citizen, you know, maybe you have a green card. Whatever. You still can't vote.

[Pat Gray]

No. No voting.

[Jeff Fisher]

This is not your country. You can't vote.

[Pat Gray]

You don't get to decide. You get to follow our laws.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Period.

[Jeff Fisher]

But you can't vote in our elections. Only citizens can do that. Wow. I mean, they are so far off track. And they're both, like, matter of factly. Oh, well, that depends.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, yes, that depends. She's. She's Mayor Bass. Right. I don't even know why she's actually running, to be honest. But I guess maybe it takes some of the attention away from Spencer Pratt. Yeah, maybe, you know, deflect some of that. I don't know her. So maybe she's the one working with Mayor Bass so that the bad stuff, you know, gets deflected to her. But I don't see a choice other than Spencer Pratt. I don't live in Los Angeles, so.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. No, we don't.

[Pat Gray]

But if I was a Nazi citizen, maybe I'd get to vote.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, you would. You would. If you were there legally. If you had a green card. You're there on a tour visa.

[Pat Gray]

Whatever. Whatever makes a difference.

[Jeff Fisher]

It does. Incredible. Also, Karen Bass bewildered a lot of people when she made an impassioned statement about fixing the rotting teeth of meth addicts. And by the way, since you're the expert on this, what is super meth? What? Spencer Pratt kept calling it super meth. What is it?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's a bird.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's a. No, it's super meth.

[Pat Gray]

Has a cape.

[Jeff Fisher]

Does.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, so it's meth with a case.

[Pat Gray]

Comes with an edible cape.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

A lot of people don't know that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I didn't know.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow. So it's good to know.

[Pat Gray]

Now you do.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right, so anyway, she made the comments the other day while talking about the homeless. She said, they don't have teeth.

[Pat Gray]

Why?

[Jeff Fisher]

Because meth rots your teeth. How many people who are housed unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all? They don't have teeth because meth rots them. You can't succeed without teeth.

[Pat Gray]

That's a fact.

[Jeff Fisher]

So there needs to be a Comprehensive health care plan provided to these people without teeth. That's going to be interesting to see her get teeth for all of the toothless homeless people. That'll be great. And I'm sorry, they're not homeless. They're unhoused.

[Pat Gray]

If they could make that. I mean, if you could make that happen at all. I mean, they're, They're. I mean, I guess the fake teeth or new teeth wouldn't rot with. Because they're going to continue because they'll be false teeth.

[Jeff Fisher]

So they're not going to rot out. Right.

[Pat Gray]

Kick the drug habit first.

[Jeff Fisher]

But you would think that. I know, but you'd be wrong.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

If you're. If you're Karen Bass, she's just fixing the tooth problem. She's not worried about your homelessness.

[Pat Gray]

No, she is not.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let's not figure out the root problem of why you're on the street and why you won't go into any of the homeless shelters. I mean, if you could figure that problem out and fix it, then maybe you'd have a shot at fixing their teeth. But until and unless you ever do that, you're not going to have a chance at fixing their teeth. I mean, this is. It's almost like. Are you a fourth grader? Where. Where are you getting these weird ideas? How dumb can you be? Wow. Then on the other side of the country, we got another problem with another mayor of a major city. So we got Los Angeles being run by a buffoon. And then on the other side of the country, in New York City, in our largest city, we've got not just a buffoon, but a Islamist.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, buffoon. Terrible. But the good news is, for those of us that loved, you know, President Reagan.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, he talked about President Reagan.

[Pat Gray]

He. He talked. Zoran Mondami talked about President Ronald Reagan.

[Jeff Fisher]

And here it is. I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. Really? He famously said the nine most terrifying words in the English language.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Or, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

[Pat Gray]

It's a good quote, but I disagree.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think nine more terrifying words are actually, I worked all day and can't feed my family. What a surprise that he believes government has the answer. Yeah. So if you worked all day and you can't afford to feed your family, turn to the government, because they'll fix it for you.

[Pat Gray]

And he believes that. And if. Let me tell you something.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure does.

[Pat Gray]

If you don't think you should turn to the government, he'll make you so yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, you will. All right. Triple eight, 727 Beck. More coming up in one minute.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right, so it's Pat and Jeffy, by the way, for Glenn this week. Now, after we've taken care of the mayoral situation, now we got to worry about another election that's going on today in Kentucky. And it's Thomas Massie, a solid conservative, a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, and he's at least at the last poll that we saw, trailing his primary opponent by 8 points.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. Holy cow. I did not like to see that this morning.

[Jeff Fisher]

And to make matters worse, Pete Hagseth is in Kentucky campaigning against him.

[Pat Gray]

That's a problem with.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a problem for me too.

[Pat Gray]

I. I like Pistol Pete. And he's the Secretary of War.

[Jeff Fisher]

So what are you doing talking about Massey, Kentucky?

[Pat Gray]

Chilling for this other guy, Ed Gallery.

[Jeff Fisher]

I've never seen anything like it.

[Pat Gray]

Because he. I, you know, it's because he's a former Navy seal, I think. So that's how. That's the tie in.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

That's the tie in.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Still. Still, you're the Secretary of War. Don't you have. Are we. Do we have other issues going on right now that he should be worried about? It just seems like going down to.

[Jeff Fisher]

Seems like we do. Yeah. Seems like we do.

[Pete Hegseth]

Say this because after you've led men in life and death situations, the games that are played inside the Beltway start looking pretty small. Now, contrast that with what we've gotten from Tom Massey. At some point, being against everything becomes an excuse for accomplishing nothing.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, shut up.

[Pete Hegseth]

At some point, constant obstruction is not leadership. It's just commentary. It's obstruction. President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party. He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most. And too often, Thomas Massie has acted like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it. When President Trump needs backup, Massie wants to debate process. When the movement needs unity, especially at the biggest moments, Massie's willing to vote with Democrats. When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often, Massie's instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans instead of the people who are destroying our country.

[Jeff Fisher]

And what are you doing right now? What are you doing right now?

[Pete Hegseth]

And it's President, right, Trump?

[Jeff Fisher]

That's that. Take it. All right. I got.

[Pat Gray]

Just annoying to me that they wouldn't. That President Trump would roll Pete headset out for that. Thomas Massey's a good man.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure is. But he's gotten on the wrong side of the president.

[Pat Gray]

Definitely gotten on the wrong side of the president.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're trying to end his political career. And they might.

[Pat Gray]

They very well might do it.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let me ask you something. How many different places do you have to go right now just to understand your business insurance? And I don't mean to buy it. I mean to actually just understand it. Because for most people, business insurance is not one thing. It's a collection of things. Different policies, different documents, different people you have to call depending on what the question is. And when you actually need a straight answer, you don't always get one. That's the part that doesn't make sense. And it can be really frustrating when you're trying to get it right. Well, this new company I am a big fan of, super sure they just fixed this. It's one agency, one team working with you year round, not just when it's time to renew. So you can actually see how everything fits together instead of trying to piece it together for yourself. And they even built a tool called the Fine Print Facts that'll take all the legal language and translate it into real English so you know exactly what you have, what it covers and what it doesn't. Because you should know. You should never have to guess when something is right.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher from Pac Ray Unleashed, which you can hear immediately before this show. Blaze radio and television network filling in for Glenn this week. All right, so I wanted to find out how many times Thomas Massie, because he's public enemy number one for, for the president and to the point where he even sent Pete hag Seth down to Kentucky to campaign for the other guy. So their big primary election is today and Thomas Massie has displeased the president. How did he become public enemy number one? How many times has he voted against Donald Trump? Is it 100? Is it?

[Pat Gray]

Well, I asked probably, I asked Grok,

[Jeff Fisher]

probably on the low side, is it more like a thousand?

[Pat Gray]

I asked Grok, how many times has Massey voted against trump?

[Jeff Fisher]

It's like 55,000 times. Right.

[Pat Gray]

Thomas Massey, according to Grok, According to Grok, Republican Kentucky has voted against Trump or Trump backed positions.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Roughly 9% of the time.

[Jeff Fisher]

9% of the time.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So 91% of the time he's with him.

[Pat Gray]

That's correct. But high profile examples of him voting against was the big beautiful bill number first and foremost.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And the Trump backed position that he also went against was that that Massey pushed for the Epstein files.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I wonder if that's included.

[Pat Gray]

And he also dig a little bit deeper into the Grok post here. It talks about how Massey broke with the GOP and Trump on dozens of votes, so.

[Jeff Fisher]

Dozens of votes.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. That's what.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, you know, Massey doesn't vote for debt. He's just got, he's got a thing

[Pat Gray]

and that's what that would be. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

He won't vote for debt.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what that he wants a balanced budget. I think that's a pretty good idea. You know, it's cute. Americans have to balance the budget. It's adorable.

[Pat Gray]

No, we don't.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. You talked about that yesterday.

[Pat Gray]

Yes, we did.

[Jeff Fisher]

You're going with the, the federal government plan where you just keep spending and you don't worry about a budget.

[Pat Gray]

Don't worry about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because if you don't have a budget, you don't know when to stop spending. So just keep spending until, you know, you feel like you could stop and maybe you never feel like you're gonna stop.

[Pat Gray]

Key point envelope comes in the mail. Don't Open it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't open it.

[Pat Gray]

Didn't open it. You didn't get it?

[Jeff Fisher]

Really?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. What if a certified male situation arrives at your doors?

[Pat Gray]

Here's the thing. Don't answer the door.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't answer the door. Okay. All right.

[Pat Gray]

They leave their cute little stickers. Never got it. They blew.

[Jeff Fisher]

Never got it. Blew away. All right. And that's working out for you pretty well, is it?

[Pat Gray]

Working out perfectly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Working out perfectly.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's working out for the federal government, too.

[Pat Gray]

I know. The only thing they have that I don't is a way to print money, like we talked about yesterday. That's right. I have to find a new way to print money.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think you'll probably have a problem before you reach $39 trillion in debt. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

That's for sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

Unlike the federal government.

[Pat Gray]

For sure. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. So that's a good plan, though.

[Pat Gray]

Anyway, Massie, you know, look, I. I just. I. I like Thomas Massie. Maybe he's a terrible person. I never saw it. I never saw it from the man.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

You know, I just. I don't. It's a. It's because he's a fiscal conservative hardliner. And so we don't like him. And I disagree with that. But that's okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. I mean, we're not going to agree with everything with this president or any president, probably, but I think this is a kind of a. It's kind of a big issue.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, he's such.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, we're gonna have a hard time holding on to the House and the Senate as it is, without losing incumbents who are. Who are good conservatives.

[Pat Gray]

And he's done a great.

[Jeff Fisher]

I hope.

[Pat Gray]

I hope Kentuckians realize what a great job he's done for them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And he did vote against the big, beautiful bill. That's the one we keep hearing about. Because that really pissed off the president.

[Pat Gray]

One of only two Republicans to do so. Who was the other one?

[Jeff Fisher]

Was it Rand Paul in the Senate?

[Pat Gray]

Probably, but I don't remember.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know. I don't know. Those are the two fiscal people.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Probably.

[Jeff Fisher]

Who still care about debt. There's very few of them. You know, it's an endangered species, that's for sure. You talk about the Hawaiian monk seal. That is endangered in Hawaii. So much so that you can't throw rocks at it.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Fiscal Republicans who are conservative. That's even rarer. That's more.

[Pat Gray]

They are the.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's a grand total of maybe Seal two in office. So we can't lose them.

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

But we might lose one today. He's eight points behind.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

At least in the poll.

[Pat Gray]

That latest poll. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So I don't know. We'll see. Also, there was a massive explosion over the weekend in Jerusalem. This was a really weird event because it was a pre planned experiment where there was a state owned defense firm.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. It was a defense contractor.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. Yeah. They just blew something up. I don't know what they were testing, but it rattled the residents around there because.

[Pat Gray]

Sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know, they're in a war right now and they've been attacked with missiles.

[Pat Gray]

It was a big explosion too.

[Jeff Fisher]

Huge. Yeah, it's gigantic.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

If you saw any of the coverage of what people recorded that looked really

[Pat Gray]

bad, you would think that it was more than what they said.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, you would. But the residents had absolutely no warning about it. You would think again. They're in a war with Iran right now.

[Pat Gray]

We're going to test.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hey, we're going to test something. So don't worry about it. It, don't panic, don't freak out. It's just us testing explosions for some reason.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know why, but you gotta test them. How do you know they work?

[Jeff Fisher]

How do you know you don't. So the statement went something like. Well, it was a pre planned experiment that was carried out according to plan and we let the authorities know. Well, why didn't you tell everybody? Why didn't you publicly mention it?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And they said they might do that in the future. So I think that's okay.

[Pat Gray]

Well, thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think that's probably a good idea.

[Pat Gray]

Thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, from here on out, maybe a good safety tip would be let the neighbors know that an explosion is coming.

[Pat Gray]

You could check with the hoa, make sure it's okay, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, usually you would tell the HOA because a lot you have to. They get pissed.

[Pat Gray]

Holy cow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, the HOA couldn't stand the crack in our driveway. You know, we fix that. You imagine if I was blowing stuff up in my backyard without telling anyone,

[Pat Gray]

Even if it was pre. I mean, even it was pre planned. I mean, if it wasn't pre planned, at least you'd have that as an excuse.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. But this was.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So also a man from Georgia was arrested for allegedly making graphic threats against Kristi Gnome, the former head of homeland security, and Pam Bondi, former U. S. Attorney general. Now both of them are out of office now and they're still getting threats. He made the threats on the. On X or Twitter, whatever you like to call it. And so that happened in April, according to federal prosecutors. So he was arrested and ordered to wear an electronic tracking device while out. Out on, on bond. So they let him out. I mean, listen to some of these threats to Christy Gnome. And he threatened to kill Pam Bondi. He said, I will stab your eyes out with a dull knife. I will blow your esophagus out the back of your neck with a 12 gauge slug and we will put your head on a stake.

[Pat Gray]

He's just funny.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's just funny. Wow. Mean nothing by it.

[Pat Gray]

So they let him out.

[Jeff Fisher]

So they let him out.

[Pat Gray]

Is he gone now or are they still okay? Still good.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's still good. He's out. He's out. But they, they did give him an ankle bracelet.

[Pat Gray]

Good. Well, I read a story the other day where, and this is, you're. This guy's in Georgia. But I was talking, the story was talking about how many people with ankle bracelets are missing. It was quite a lot. This was in Chicago.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the thing. It was over 200. It was like 240 or something.

[Pat Gray]

And I thought, so they're just cutting them off. That might be something we should look into, you think? Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So hopefully we'll know where this guy is because I don't want him at Christie's house.

[Pat Gray]

There was, Pam, there was another guy there. I've got more stories of the threats for our, this administration, but there was another guy, a Texas guy that just cut off his ankle bracelet, flew to Canada, then flew to Italy and wanted to claim asylum because he's being tried for the murder of his wife. I mean, we keep a better, I mean, better eye on these people.

[Jeff Fisher]

You think?

[Pat Gray]

Just a thought.

[Jeff Fisher]

What? Kind of picky, aren't you?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, well, the guy is, you know, the guy's accused of murdering his wife, so perhaps, you know, I don't know, maybe you don't let him.

[Jeff Fisher]

Are they going to give him asylum in Italy?

[Pat Gray]

No, I don't think so. I don't think he got it yet. I'm not, I'm not sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

I'm not sure about that. I just know that he, that he cut off the ankle bracelet, went to Canada, flew to Italy and they. Since I think he only applied. He only said he was going to apply for asylum is because they caught him. You know, it was like they, oh, he's in, he's in Italy, you know, and so he was like, hey, hey, you know, asylum. That's what it sounded like. But I don't I don't know, maybe or I don't know if we're gonna get him back into the U. S. To try him. I hope so.

[Jeff Fisher]

I hope so.

[Pat Gray]

He did it. And if he, if he did what he's accused of doing. Yeah, he needs to be back here.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, we do frown on that.

[Pat Gray]

But we also have the Florida man that's accused of repeated threats to assassinate Trump, Rubio and Banda Bondi. We have the, I mean, we have the don't even forget about the stupid Mark Hamill Trump dead post.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, I was, that wasn't dead. I didn't mean that. Complete opposite.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I thought it was, it was his life.

[Glenn Beck]

What?

[Jeff Fisher]

His explanation didn't even make sense.

[Pat Gray]

No, it didn't. And then we still have Cole Allen, right? Who committed. Who's. Oh, he said not guilty, but the White House correspondence dinner shooter. So I mean, we have that guy

[Jeff Fisher]

and we have him on video, but he's not guilty.

[Pat Gray]

We do.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's interesting.

[Pat Gray]

Everyone is not guilty until proven guilty in the court of law.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, when you, when you really look at the slow motion video footage of that, it does look like, I mean, they, we were initially told only one of the Secret service agents was fired.

[Pat Gray]

I think we're still being told that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think that there were at least two, maybe three.

[Pat Gray]

I thought so too. I mean, I, they, I think we're still being told that the, the only guy that fired was the CIA guy that got shot. Right. And he's the only one that fired. And you watch that video. I don't think that's true.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't either. I don't either. Because a guy saw him before that person that you're talking about and pulled his gun, was pointing it right at him. I assume he was shooting because the guy was running toward the, the banquet hall.

[Pat Gray]

In fact, it, to me, it looked like that he could have been the one to shoot, that have shot the CIA guy. It's possible. I mean, the secret Service guy. I think it's possible instead of the Cole Porter. But, but, you know, I, I obviously I, I have to believe what they're telling me. Do you? Yeah, you have to. But, you know, it just, I, I don't know what to make of that situation.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, I don't either.

[Pat Gray]

Strange. We've never seen. As long as we're going to go ahead and beat this horse, we've never seen footage from the hallway all the way back looking towards.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, we have not.

[Pat Gray]

You're telling me we don't have footage

[Jeff Fisher]

of that that's what I'm telling you. We don't have footage of that.

[Pat Gray]

Okay?

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Pat Gray]

All right. Have to believe what they're told.

[Jeff Fisher]

So don't worry about it. All right.

[Pat Gray]

Never mind.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't worry about it.

[Pat Gray]

Sorry.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. Triple eight, 727 Beck,

[Pat Gray]

Faith family. A full work day. That's not fascist. That's just Tuesday. More Glenn Beck straight ahead.

Okay, thank you, sir. All right, bye. I just got off the phone with the President, Donald Trump. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hey. Just called you.

[Pat Gray]

He told me. I called him. Oh, I called him.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

He was pretty busy. I tried to get him to come on. He was like, no, I can't come on. So.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, wow.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, whatever.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's probably just as well. We only have a couple minutes left.

[Pat Gray]

Well, I mean, we'd be able to extend the satellite time, I'm guessing if it was the President, but that's just me. He said that he's going to tell us who he's endorsing today in the John Cornyn Ken paxton race at 11:30 central or eastern? Central time.

[Jeff Fisher]

So 12:30 eastern?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Like 11 hours from now.

[Pat Gray]

We're off the air, so we can do it here. Okay. And he.

[Jeff Fisher]

He wouldn't do it.

[Pat Gray]

I would. Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

Dang it.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

But you just got off the phone with him.

[Pat Gray]

Did you not hear me say goodbye to him?

[Jeff Fisher]

I hear you say goodbye.

[Pat Gray]

Okay,

[Jeff Fisher]

so, okay, so there's going to be an endorsement in the Corin Paxton told me.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Which is one week from today. And we just mentioned on my show earlier that he hadn't made that endorsement yet. And now you just found out from him.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. He's gonna do it.

[Jeff Fisher]

That he's gonna do it. I'm guessing.

[Pat Gray]

I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

John Cor.

[Pat Gray]

I know. You know, Corin has been.

[Jeff Fisher]

I hope not.

[Pat Gray]

But that's who I. For that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, he has.

[Pat Gray]

Let's see.

[Jeff Fisher]

And pretending like he's all about.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Donald Trump.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

Which he isn't.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely. You know, one thing we didn't get to today either is. Is on Ms. Now they were baffled. Baffled that one of our. One of our people, a congressman, in fact, the. The head of Congress.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Mike Johnson.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. He would. Speaker the mention God and the Constitution. God would be over the Constitution at the Rededication 250 prayer service this weekend.

[Jeff Fisher]

Look at this. Katie Tour. Unbelievable. Listen to her. She's so indignant about it. Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government. They come from you, our creator and heavenly Father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence? What?

[Glenn Beck]

Well, you know, I actually think that that idea is.

[Pat Gray]

Is not wholly uncommon.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, the idea. It is not rights that come from God. Too bad we don't have time for the rest of his comments. But dang it. Oh, come on. Yeah, I know.

[Pat Gray]

Extent of time.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

What are we doing?

[Jeff Fisher]

Maybe tomorrow. Maybe we can finish it up tomorrow. But it's not wholly uncommon. So since the founders set up the country that way. No, it's not wholly uncommon. It fits right in with his American experiment.
