Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Minneapolis Church Shooting – Facts & Immediate Reaction

• Incident summary:
  • A shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis resulted in two children killed and 17 injured. Most survivors are expected to recover ([04:54], Pat Gray).
• Details on the shooter:
  • Shooter was identified as transgender. Discussion arises about how media and politicians handle reporting on the shooter’s gender identity ([06:31], [07:41], Glen/Pat).
  • The shooter reportedly wrote extensively about their motives, including a fascination with violence against children and a desire for notoriety ([70:49], Glenn).
• Survival factors:
  • Pew benches inside the church acted as a shield, possibly saving lives ([06:11], Glenn).

---

2. Gender Identity and Narratives in Media Coverage

• Media's treatment of gender:
  • The hosts ridicule the insistence on gender pronouns for the shooter, suggesting that once someone commits such a crime, their pronouns are irrelevant ([07:05], Pat; [07:11], Glenn).
• Transgender mass shooters:
  • Statistics and discussion on the “disproportionately high” number of mass shootings by transgender individuals, considering their small portion of the population ([09:03], Pat; [13:29], Pat).
• Mental illness argument:
  • Arguments made around potential links between gender dysphoria, inability to discern reality, and susceptibility to radical or violent actions ([12:36], Glenn).
  • Clear that they insist this does not impugn all transgender people.
• Political discourse:
  • Frustration with left-wing politicians and the media for what hosts see as deflection and avoidance of core identity or mental health issues ([10:01], Pat).

Quote:

"It's the left. That infuriates them. They don't want us to mention it...They want to pretend it never happens." – Pat Gray [08:47]

---

3. The Political Response: Focus on Prayer and Gun Control

• Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey:
  • Hosts play and critique Frey’s statements that urge against 'vilifying' the trans community and instead acting "from a place of love for our kids."
  • Hosts find the mayor’s remarks to be insincere and politically motivated, focusing on identity politics over victims ([16:10]-[18:58], Glenn/Pat).
• Praise for the police chief:
  • Police chief's emotional, authentic response to the tragedy is lauded by hosts as a stark contrast to the mayor’s "performance" ([18:24], Pat/Glenn).

Quote:

"Kids died today. This needs to be about them. Why did you just lead with the trans community?" – Glenn Beck [16:48]

---

4. Outrage Over Attacks on Prayer: Jen Psaki and Politicians

• Jen Psaki tweet:
  • “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.” – Jen Psaki [25:44]/[26:49].
  • Hosts argue this is not only politically tone-deaf but signals open hostility toward people of faith. They draw a distinction between expressing sympathy ("thoughts and prayers") and actual policy, but assert that faith and prayer should not be mocked ([27:39], Glenn).

Quote:

"Prayer is enough. It actually is the most important thing you can do. Right? It's crucial and it always is enough. It's all you need...God is enough." – Glenn Beck [28:46]

"I don't want you praying. I don't want to hear about your prayers. ...I hate you. And everything you believe in, that's what that reveals." – Glenn Beck [30:14]

• Mayor Jacob Frey:
  • Further mocked "thoughts and prayers" in his statements, with hosts accusing the left of doubling down on faith-mocking rhetoric to please their base ([35:23], Glenn; [36:35]-[37:35], Glenn/Pat).

---

5. Gun Control – Rhetoric, Policy, and Myths

• Discussion of proposed gun laws:
  • Hosts are dismissive of calls for bans, noting the difficulty (and potential for civil strife) in removing hundreds of millions of firearms from society.
  • Reference is made to the ineffectiveness of Australia’s gun buyback program ([62:25], Glenn).
• Media ignorance:
  • CNN/MSNBC criticized for repeated errors about firearms, i.e. confusing semi-automatic with automatic weapons ([49:55] onward).
• Satirical segment:
  • Hosts mock the media’s lack of basic firearms knowledge and the tendency to sensationalize following mass shootings ([54:12], [54:58], Glenn/Pat).

---

6. Mental Health, Gender, and Parental Responsibility

• Minnesota Lieutenant Governor speech:
  • Critique of her statement that parents must "listen and believe" children who express gender dysphoria. Hosts point out the perils in uncritically affirming children’s assertions about gender (and other issues like eating disorders) ([78:13]-[82:19], Glenn/Pat).

Quote:

"If my 12 year old comes to me and says I'm tired of being a boy, I want to be a girl, I should just believe them and help them make that transition right then, right then and there because they know what's best." – Pat Gray [78:32]

---

7. Culture War & Media Landscape

• Smithsonian controversy:
  • Discussion of "woke" gender/sexuality exhibits at the Smithsonian and Trump’s pushback. Hosts frame this as part of a broader fight over national identity and the teaching of American history ([93:54]-[98:49], Pat/Glenn).
• Criticism of identity politics:
  • Return to theme of the left undermining MLK’s colorblind ideal, emphasizing immutable identities over character ([101:37], Glenn).
• Mocking left-of-center incentives:
  • Hosts repeat that outspoken anti-prayer or aggressively "woke" figures are rewarded with clicks, interviews, and popularity on their side, despite these views alienating most Americans ([33:49]-[36:21]).

---

8. Lighter Segments / Memorable Comic Relief

• Eyewitness account:
  • Sharing a 10-year-old survivor’s account, highlighting heroism and trauma ([42:02], [42:48], Glenn/Pat).
• Subway sandwich tangent:
  • Humorous extended riff on ordering at Subway, triggered by a discussion on the seriousness of "assault by sandwich," offering listeners unique, tongue-in-cheek culinary advice ([115:13] onward).
• Alien probe story:
  • Brief exploration of a viral news story about a supposed alien probe in the solar system (light sarcasm, not a key theme) ([111:47]).

---

9. Media Fairness & Polling

• CNN polling analyst Harry Enten discussed:
  • Cited as a rare example of a data-driven, fair-minded media figure, unafraid to break the network's preferred narrative when polling shows bad news for Democrats ([106:05]-[109:17], Pat/Glenn).

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

• On the left’s narrative after tragedies:

  "The first thing you need to do is what group committed the crime? Let's feel bad for them." – Glenn Beck [66:46]

• On double standards in how prayer is treated:

  "They certainly don’t have any problem with mentioning that cisgender males usually commit these crimes." – Pat Gray [12:36]

Conclusion

Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere, filling in for Glenn Beck, offer a fast-paced, highly opinionated breakdown of the Minneapolis church shooting and the ensuing media and political fallout. They express frustration with what they view as the left's antipathy toward faith, particularly prayer, their avoidance of discussions around mental illness and gender reality in such tragedies, and the tendency to push for more gun control at the expense of Second Amendment rights. Through sarcasm and cultural critique, they argue that these reflexive responses are alienating to mainstream America and that real solutions require acknowledgment of both cultural and individual breakdowns—spiritual, familial, and social.

---

For listeners seeking a summary:
This episode is a deep-dive into the politics and culture war following a tragedy, providing conservative critique of media, Democratic politicians, and progressive trends, while also mixing moments of levity and everyday advice. The core message is that faith, personal responsibility, and honesty about mental health and violent tendencies should be at the center of the discussion—not identity politics or dismissals of prayer.

[Glenn Beck]

Gotta face the dark. Embrace the fire.

[Patton Oswalt]

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. All right. It is Pat and Stew Today for Glenn, we will obviously going to be talking about what happened in Minneapolis yesterday. A lot to say about that, a lot of politicians saying a lot of different things about that. It's amazing. We'll try to untangle the whole mess coming up in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

First, let me tell you about the Burno launcher. Many people think about self defense as a choice between nothing or everything. Either you're unarmed and hopeful or you're armed and knowing that the moment something happens, it could change lives forever. But the simple fact of the matter is that life isn't always that simple and neither is safety. The Burner launcher is a non lethal compact device that creates an entirely new option. It can stop an attack during seconds without taking a life. We talk about this all the time. You got to carry yours with you every day. It's legal in all 50 states. It doesn't require a permit. And it offers you something invaluable, the confidence that you can defend yourself and your family without crossing a line that you'll never be able to step back from and certainly will never be able to forget. The burner launcher is about protection. It's about giving you the tool you need to handle real world situations that happen in parking lots or gas stations or as we saw just this this week, unfortunately even in churches. Be prepared, responsible and in control. Go to Burna.com Glenn to learn more. Burna.com Glenn go there now or try before you buy at a Sportsman warehouse location near you by r n a.com.

[Patton Oswalt]

Glenn just another horrible situation happened at a, at a Catholic church Yesterday in Minneapolis. Two kids, 1 8, 110 were killed, 17 injured. I think two of them are in critical condition. But all of those are expected to live and recover, thank God. Which is, yes, I will say too.

[Glenn Beck]

Because this broke during the show yesterday. Pat and Jeffrey and I were talking about it and the way that it broke, they said it could be 20 injured. And you never know where those numbers break. Sometimes they get a lot higher after something like that. Somewhat amazing considering the circumstances that the numbers, while incredibly tragic and horrible, were this low. Yeah, it really is amazing frankly. You know, two children dying is, you know, unending tragedy for the families, as we all know. But when you look at it from some of the previous shootings, you're almost surprised.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, he locked him in there, barricaded the doors and then started shooting at them from the outside. Maybe that's why there was less death than you might expect in a shooting like that.

[Glenn Beck]

But you said because he came in through the window Shooting through the windows.

[Patton Oswalt]

Shot through the windows.

[Glenn Beck]

A big reason seemingly, too, Pat, was pews. I mean, they are. Many people that were in there were saying the pews saved their lives. They were blocking bullets like crazy, and he was shooting them, and they were hitting the pews and not going through the pews, and that's why they're alive.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Which is incredible.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, it. It really is. And of course, this turns out to be a transgendered person, which we're not supposed to mention, I guess, or notice or talk about.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, that's because it's a. It's a woman, Pat. You see, when you say trans, it's a man person.

[Patton Oswalt]

You see, he's a man.

[Glenn Beck]

Indicating some male component to this situation. And we know there's definitely a male component. No, I don't think so, Pat. This is a woman.

[Patton Oswalt]

Her.

[Glenn Beck]

She saw a lot of hers and she's in the coverage.

[Patton Oswalt]

You know, once you become a mass shooter. I don't care about your pronouns. I don't really. Yeah, I don't care at all.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't really care before the mass shooter.

[Patton Oswalt]

I don't either, but. But I also really don't care after the mass shooting.

[Glenn Beck]

I was thinking about this, Pat, and I know we're, you know, we're still going through the details. This. Right. I mean, to just sidetrack us three minutes into the show, but, like, I was a little conflicted as to what I wanted out of the news coverage because I got angry when I saw her and she. I did.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Don't respect this idiot, horrible person's nonsense.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

That they want to change genders after something like this. You know, you might have a very nice person who's going through something and struggling with it and they decide to change genders, and you might feel the need to. To indulge in that. I don't know. But when it's someone who's killed a couple kids and shot a bunch of people, I don't have that need, though. Part of me then also thought, you know, maybe this just needs to be owned by them. Maybe this needs to count as a woman shooting everyone in the statistics, this is a female mass murderer. Because we always get to. Is told it's all men who do this. No, not this time. It's a woman. A woman did this. Just like a woman won that swimming race, a woman did this. Let's all. If you're going to make us indulge in it on the other side, maybe we should fully embrace it here. Yeah, I don't know where to land on that. I think the appropriate thing is to say a transgendered person. That's really the only. It doesn't really matter if it's a.

[Patton Oswalt]

Man or a woman, because it's the left.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Patton Oswalt]

That infuriates them. They. They don't want us to mention it. They don't want to talk about it. They. They want to pretend it never happens, that these are all cisgendered. And yes, they're mostly sister. Because most males are cisgendered.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Patton Oswalt]

There's 0.7 of the population that's trans. And there have been at least five shootings, five mass shootings from trans people in the last seven years.

[Glenn Beck]

I was gonna say I thought it was higher than that.

[Patton Oswalt]

I think it is higher than that.

[Glenn Beck]

But I could say at least.

[Patton Oswalt]

At least five of them.

[Glenn Beck]

That's what at least means. Usually means. That could be higher. Yes, that's actually what the term indicates. Thank you, Stu. Good job with the English, but I'm.

[Patton Oswalt]

Glad you picked up on you.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, I think it is.

[Patton Oswalt]

I think there's a problem there. I. You know, can we look at the mental stability of people in this situation? This was something that was considered a disorder until 2017 by the AMA. Is it something we should be looking at? I don't know. We should at least talk about it.

[Glenn Beck]

Well. Well, Pat, it's obvious, right? It doesn't mean what it doesn't mean. And we can go into all the left people saying this. Oh, every trans. Oh, they're saying the trans community is responsible.

[Patton Oswalt]

And we're not saying that. It's just like we're not saying all Muslims are terrorists.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. It's so stupid.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's so stupid.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's hard to even indulge in the nonsense. Obviously, there's probably a trans person, depending on where you live, that you pass every day or every week. They're not all shooting people. We're not idiots. Every single person knows. It's like when. When 24 was on and Jack Bauer and terrorist. And then you're watching this and the show is so good, and then all of a sudden they just started having. By the way, before you watch this incredible episode of Jack Bauer kicking terrorist butts, you should know not every Muslim is a terrorist. We think you believe that and we're trying to convince you otherwise.

[Patton Oswalt]

So insulting.

[Glenn Beck]

It's so insulting and so stupid. It's. It's pointless to indul. But just to mention it off the top because we have to deal with the politicians saying it all day. Yesterday at some point on the show. But when you have difficulty understanding what reality is, you're probably more likely to do something completely insane when everyone else's reality is watching children die is bad. And his reality was watching children die is good.

[Patton Oswalt]

Mm.

[Glenn Beck]

His reality also was that he was a woman, and he actually was. And all of our realities was a man. Now, we can sit here and act like we should indulge his lack of connection with reality, and we can encourage him and lionize him for his brave choice, but in reality, it's not true. And when you have a person who is under whatever condition this is, that indicates to him that reality is something completely on the opposite side. Yes, of course. You're more likely to do something crazy because you can't recognize what reality is. You're dealing with something. So everybody else in our society can tell what gender they are. Right. Transgender people have difficulty with that. Many of them, I'm sure, are very sweet. They've got nothing to do. No violent tendencies whatsoever. Of course. But that doesn't mean that you're not more likely to do something out of societal norms when you can't understand the most basic part of who you are.

[Patton Oswalt]

And they certainly don't have any problem with mentioning that cisgender males usually commit these crimes.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Well, yeah. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes. There are cisgendered males who have real issues. Yeah. And are completely insane.

[Glenn Beck]

That doesn't mean all cisgendered people murder.

[Patton Oswalt]

People don't ever have to. You don't ever hear them qualify it that way.

[Glenn Beck]

You never have to say that.

[Patton Oswalt]

In fact, there's never a disclaimer on that.

[Glenn Beck]

The indication almost always is the opposite.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Gosh. It seems like they're all doing it. Gosh. Everybody with a red hat seems to be doing this. What's going on? It's always that indication.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And I like a very small. Again, obviously, a very, very small percentage of transgender people will do something like this. But when you can't recognize reality.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

It is, of course, more likely that you're going to do something that violates everyone else's reality.

[Patton Oswalt]

And there is a disproportionate number of them that have done this recently. It's disproportionate. I mean, it's. It's higher than 0.7% tell you that.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's show and what's going on here. And it seems like, Pat, this path is becoming more well worn when you are. You're having. Whatever sort of issue leads to you not understanding your Gender. You're told, if you go through this process, things are gonna be so much better. Yeah, you're gonna. Everything's gonna turn around. You're dealing with all sorts of internal turmoil, and doctors and in some cases, parents and teachers are, well, take these hormones, and everything will turn around. And then you go through. I mean, you know, you've done this with your back, Pat. How many times have doctors told you, well, if you do this, this, and this, it might get better? And then it's frustrating. You go through the process, and it doesn't get better. And you're like, gosh, I just feel you get more hopeless about the situation. And this is what happens with transgendered people. In a lot of cases, not all cases, but a lot of cases, you go through that process, you're told this is a panacea, and it doesn't take the problem away. So then you start looking for more and more reasons why your life sucks, why you hate everything, and you're fed stuff by the left, that it's people who hate you because of your trans nature. It's because the president's a Nazi. It's because everyone is against you, wants to kill you, and religious people hate you, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all the time. And you get that all the time. And shockingly, some people develop the tendency to do this. I mean, it's not exact. It's not exact. It's like, oh, it's flour, it's sugar, it's eggs. It's a cake. It's not exactly crazy. It's not something that's. This. It's not that shocking, Pat. I have to admit. It's not. I'm not entirely stunned by this development.

[Patton Oswalt]

But you're not supposed to notice that. No, you're not supposed to say it. So here's the mayor. This. This guy is one of the most agonizing buffoons I've seen in a while, and I've seen a lot of agonizing buffoons.

[Glenn Beck]

I guarantee he will start getting buzzed for presidential nomination soon.

[Patton Oswalt]

He will.

[Glenn Beck]

If you are the douchiest of douches.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And you're on the left.

[Patton Oswalt]

Somebody's gonna pluck the Minneapolis mayor, right? Oh, yeah. And into a national campaign here.

[Glenn Beck]

It's why you know Jasmine Crockett's name.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It's why you know Aoc's name. It's why you know Gavin Newsom's name. This is the road to success in the modern left, for sure.

[Patton Oswalt]

And now you're gonna know the name Jacob Fry. Here he is, cut six.

[Glenn Beck]

I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being directed at our trans community.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, yeah. Jesus. That's the number one thing we need to talk about.

[Glenn Beck]

Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place.

[Patton Oswalt]

Of love for our kids.

[Glenn Beck]

Kids died today. This needs to be about them. Why did you just read it with a transcript of love that we can possibly. Does your brain not work if you just let it with the trans community? Why are you talking about the Right. It should have started with the kids. Yeah. Maybe that's all you should have said.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe that's it. Did you happen to watch this? Were you around the TV when this occurred?

[Patton Oswalt]

I was.

[Glenn Beck]

Or did you just see the clip?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

If you were there watching it when it occurred, what you saw was this thing that. I'm sure you've seen all the clips of. Of him with this just quite obviously insincere nonsense. Right. He didn't. The last thing in the all was flashing in front of his eyes was his political career in this moment. Oh, yeah, because you could tell he's nerv. He's kind of like butchering the typical stupid lines every leftist says in these moments. But you know, he's kind of. He's just. He's reading everybody. He's reading Jen Psaki tweets in front of a, you know, in front of a microphone. But immediately after that was the police officer who was giving the briefing. And he spoke emotionally about it. And the difference between these two was night and day. He actually cared.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, he did.

[Glenn Beck]

He gave a crap. He. It was actually affecting him. He wasn't thinking about his political future. He actually was talking about something that mattered and actually felt it. And you could see the difference between the two individuals, that's for sure. Oh, man, it was. It was really jaw dropping to watch.

[Patton Oswalt]

In fact, this is a really quick clip here. Play cut three from the Minneapolis police chief. This shows that. I mean, the guy did. He was deeply affected. The question from Matt was, how are.

[Glenn Beck]

The injured students doing?

[Patton Oswalt]

I believe all of them have their.

[Glenn Beck]

Parents with them now and they are.

[Patton Oswalt]

All expected to survive. All of the remaining victims are expected to survive. There is a range of injuries, however, I mean, when he gets into what transpired, it's. It's very clear that he was deeply moved by it.

[Glenn Beck]

Angry, deeply moved. Yeah, but moved by all of this, and it's the exact opposite. I mean, you could just tell, you know, if this guy is not at least talked about as the VP candidate for Gavin Newsom, I'll be shocked. Because they're the same person. They're the same psychosis, the same absolute adoration for self. You could just. You could see it in everything he did yesterday. It was all about him.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yep.

[Glenn Beck]

And what a disgraceful time to make it about you.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yep. And try to further your political career. All right, 88727, Beck. More coming up in one minute.

[Patton Oswalt]

All right, so we got scolded on the trans issue. And then the obligatory gun BS had to start from. From Jacob Fry, who is the Minneapolis mayor. Here's what he had to say about guns. Look, we need to be doing more than talking. It can't just be words. There needs to be action.

[Glenn Beck]

And when we have seen school shooting, after school shooting, when we have seen.

[Patton Oswalt]

Churches get shot up by horrible actors, I think the impetus has to be.

[Glenn Beck]

On all of us as leaders to do a whole lot more to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people.

[Patton Oswalt]

And it's on all of us to.

[Glenn Beck]

Recognize the reality that we can't just.

[Patton Oswalt]

Say that shouldn't happen again and then.

[Glenn Beck]

Allow it to happen again and again beyond that. Because the solution to this guy shooting a bunch of people is taking Pat's gun away in Texas. That's what it is. That's the solution right there. And just, you know, it shows how stupid it was. The thing that really puts that exclamation point on how dumb that was is stupid Tim Walls in the background. Stupid Tim Walls, you know, gets himself off the couch and lumbers down to the press conference to stand behind this guy. What a disgrace these people are. Oh, God.

[Patton Oswalt]

There are very few people I dislike more.

[Glenn Beck]

More than Tim.

[Patton Oswalt]

Than Tim Walls. I can't. I can't look at him. It's very hard to even see him appear on camera.

[Glenn Beck]

He's such a doofus.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, man.

[Glenn Beck]

What a. What the fact I. I will remain fascinated by the moment of choosing this dolt.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, man.

[Glenn Beck]

For the rest of my life.

[Patton Oswalt]

And thank goodness she did, because.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank God.

[Patton Oswalt]

I think that hurt her a lot.

[Glenn Beck]

I do, too. I mean, he was legitimately terrible.

[Patton Oswalt]

What's his face in Pennsylvania would have been so much better.

[Glenn Beck]

Shapiro would have been better.

[Patton Oswalt]

Shapiro would have been way better.

[Glenn Beck]

He's definitely, you know, he's on the left and he's a slow politician and all that, but he's at least not a complete.

[Patton Oswalt]

He's Ronald Reagan compared to Tim.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Patton Oswalt]

Come on. Oh, hey.

[Glenn Beck]

We have our main candidate. Can't say anything intelligent. Let's do the. Let's double down. Let's bring in the dumbest person we can find on the planet and make him our VP choice.

[Patton Oswalt]

Found the worst possible running mate on the planet.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank God. Thank God. Thank God.

[Patton Oswalt]

I know.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank God.

[Patton Oswalt]

This is Glenn Beck.

[Patton Oswalt]

Unleashed every weekday from 7 to 9 Eastern, live or anytime and anywhere you get your podcast. It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today. Triple 872-7. Beck, we gotta show you the tweet from Jen Saki. Oh, my gosh.

[Glenn Beck]

You're gonna set me off on this one.

[Patton Oswalt]

This is incredible. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Jen Psaki. Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers. Did anybody say prayers? Thoughts and prayers are the only thing we should be doing. I don't know that anybody says that.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, pat me. And it might not be religious enough to know this, but Pat, prayer is like a vending machine. What you do is you say it in everything. If you say you want $14.11 to be to appear in your pocket, you pray for that. And it just occurs that's how prayer works.

[Patton Oswalt]

Really?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. People don't realize that.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm surprised I didn't realize that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, that's how.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm not a praying person enough to understand that.

[Glenn Beck]

Apparently not. That is a. It's a fascinating tweet. Can I bring up two different things here on this?

[Patton Oswalt]

I wish you would. Mm.

[Glenn Beck]

First. Well, three, first of all.

[Patton Oswalt]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, guys, we just lost an election. No one in the middle of the country wanted to vote for us. What should we do? I don't know. Quadruple down on hating prayers.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It's like, it's politically speaking. So stupid. They all think it's so smart. They think this is the best point in the world because they do. They all say it all the time. And it's they think it's this like incredible moment. It's like they came up with this, this incredible intellectual brainstorm where they've come up with this idea that what we should do, guys, is just mock prayers. We can solve all these issues if we just mock people's most closely held beliefs.

[Patton Oswalt]

And it's only, I mean, it's so brilliant because only 80% of us are people of faith.

[Glenn Beck]

Right? So just go right after that. Yeah, just politically speaking. So dumb. But that's course the least important of this. The phrase prayer is not freaking enough. Now she did add the freaking. The normal typical has been said by nine zillion liberals and she's supposed to be this brilliant leader of the left. Prayer is not freaking enough. Reveal something. Okay? Now if you happen to be a Christian, if you happen to be someone who believes in God, you've probably been to church before. And what they've explained on multiple occasions is likely something to the effect of God is enough. Okay? Prayer is enough. It actually is the most important thing you can do. Right? It's crucial and it always is enough. It's all you need. It's stated in a bunch of different ways throughout the Bible and throughout the faith.

[Patton Oswalt]

Faith.

[Glenn Beck]

But I can understand, as someone who recognizes not everyone shares our faith, that if you are a person who is not a believer, that statement might connect with you. Right. If you are an atheist, saying something like prayer is not enough might connect with you because you might say, yeah, we need, let's say for example, you happen to worship government as your God. That's a really like that sentence probably connects deeply with you. These people with their fake gods, their fake religion, their fake sky God and boomstick. Those people are silly and pathetic. And our religion of praising bureaucrats in Washington are the only ones who can solve problems like this that probably understandably connects with you. So it reveals something about Jen. I mean, I don't know what her situation is, but I don't either.

[Patton Oswalt]

But she must be.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, I assume she's an atheist from that. It's certainly not someone who's connecting with the feels like tenants of her faith. If she's not right, maybe she just, you know, maybe. I don't know. We'll see. It's not. It. It should be more important to me than it is, I suppose, is the is the answer because I really don't freaking care about her at all. But like, it does reveal something about what your position is on faith. You don't believe the tenets of it. Right? Okay. But that's okay. There's a lot of people who are atheists and might not. The other thing, though, that she ends it with is also reveals something, but something completely different and something much more offensive to the American standard. We've always had atheists in our country and we've always respected their rights to be atheists and not believe. But she ends it with enough with the thoughts and prayers. The first part of it is I don't believe prayers will solve this. The second part is I don't want you praying. I don't want to hear about your prayers. I dislike the fact that you think prayers are important. I don't want you religious person here. I don't want you as part of this conversation. I hate you. And everything you believe in, that's what that reveals. It's something totally different and much, much more awful. And of course, it's what Democrats actually like about it. That's where so many of them are centrally focus in just eliminating you and your beliefs. That's what they seem to actually want. And normally someone like Jen Psaki, who was a trained media expert.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. And that's so surprising.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Who? A person who. Whose job was to lie to us, to make people of faith believe.

[Patton Oswalt]

And she did that. Well, yeah, she did that. Fair.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, well, in comparison to what's her face.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

I wouldn't say well, but well, in comparison to the person she specifically chose to make her look good on her exit. What was her. What's her name? John? I want to say Jean Claude Van Damme, but it's not her. Thank you, Corinne. Jean Pierre. It wasn't Jean Claude Van Damme, though. I think he would have been better, don't you think?

[Patton Oswalt]

By far.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, it would have been more entertaining.

[Patton Oswalt]

He barely speaks English. He would have been better.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. The end of that phrase shows her visceral hatred for you, which of course is something she did everything she could while in the White House to hide. Her job was to hide how they felt about you. When she's in the White House now, she's on msnbc and her new job is to tell everyone how she actually feels. And that, by the way, is how she actually feels. That is who she is. It's been revealed.

[Patton Oswalt]

She made that really clear.

[Glenn Beck]

Really clear. She hates you. And you know what? She's getting cheered on for it. Why? Because so many of the people that she associates with feel the same way. Feel the exact same way. They just don't normally blurt it out like that.

[Patton Oswalt]

And you know What? That's why they lost the election. That's one of the many, many reasons that the Democrats in the left lost the election last time. We're just. We're tired of this kind of stuff.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep.

[Patton Oswalt]

They don't.

[Glenn Beck]

True.

[Patton Oswalt]

They don't know who they're dealing with. I don't know if they think that the American people are a bunch of atheists who, who don't pray, but that's what they're acting like. That's what they're. They're acting like. They just think that they are the standard in America now.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

And nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we're probably not as faithful as we once were as a nation, but we're still, you know, it's still 80% of us are Christians, and that's a pretty high percentage. 80% of people don't agree on much. And so if you're willing to just dismiss 80% of Americans, you're not going to win elections and you're not going to gain viewers.

[Glenn Beck]

No. And look, I hope they continue to do things that make elections. I don't know what kind of position our country would be in if they were winning more of. But what's fascinating about this, and it's a really difficult problem for Democrats to solve, is. And look, I will say this, we also have an issue with this at times on our side. And the problem is the incentives are so lined up, every single part of Jen Psaki's life right now indicates to her she should do more of that. More money, more viewers, more attention, more interviews on Colbert, more clicks, more likes, all of that. If you say stuff like that, oh, you religious trash, get out of our lives. You're gonna get more att, more adoration, and more of everything you want. Now, when she was in the White House, her incentive structure was a little bit different. Right. Like, her incentive structure was to try to win elections and try to shield us from knowing that the President of the United States had no mental capacity. Those are different goals. Her goal now is to make Jen Psaki's life better, and it's not to win elections. Jasmine Crockett does the crap. She does not to win elections because Jasmine Crockett wants more in the life of Jasmine Crockett. Right. Like, and we have some of this on our side as well, but it is really, really egregious on the left right now. And I don't know how they solve it.

[Patton Oswalt]

I hope they don't.

[Glenn Beck]

Look at Gavin Newsom. Did Gavin Newsom get adoration for interviewing Charlie Kirk. No, they hated him for it.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. And they dropped that quick.

[Glenn Beck]

He dropped it in two weeks. And now he's Mr. Anti Trump Guy. He's totally on the other side. He's a completely different human being. And what's happening now? Adoration, money clicks, likes, poll numbers going up in the primary. Not. You know, that doesn't mean he's going to win an election. It means he's going to win a nomination potentially. And all of these incentives point the exact same way, which means you're going to get more of this idiocy. And it's not gonna be fun for us, but it should, with any level of competence on our side, make elections a hell of a lot easier.

[Patton Oswalt]

I hope so.

[Glenn Beck]

Should.

[Patton Oswalt]

Hope so.

[Glenn Beck]

God only knows. Yeah, but it should.

[Patton Oswalt]

Mayor Jacob Fry also mocked prayers. They seem to be pretty married to this tactic. And here he is, cut 10.

[Glenn Beck]

My friend, like, ran kind of.

[Patton Oswalt]

Someone helped him, like, run out.

[Glenn Beck]

He saw him.

[Patton Oswalt]

He was wearing. I don't think that's Mayor Jacob Fry.

[Glenn Beck]

But he sounds very young.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, frankly, very, very young.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, see that. That's. You know, that's just not. That's definitely not the clip, Pat.

[Patton Oswalt]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

Do we have the Fry clip here? This was Minneapolis family. These were American families. Oh, the fake. The amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary. And let me do this again in front of the mirror so I can get it right. Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first school.

[Patton Oswalt]

That is what.

[Glenn Beck]

That is what he's saying. He wants you to know faith doesn't work.

[Patton Oswalt]

That's their big thing right now.

[Glenn Beck]

Keep going.

[Patton Oswalt]

I've seen that 10 times in the last 24 hours.

[Glenn Beck]

These kids were literally praying, and that's their big statement.

[Patton Oswalt]

So it doesn't work.

[Glenn Beck]

It doesn't work. It's proven not. Not a factor. Not a factor.

[Patton Oswalt]

Believable.

[Glenn Beck]

Look, you can believe that all you want. That doesn't make it true, number one. But it also is a totally. It's just a fascinating position to take in a country such as this.

[Patton Oswalt]

It is.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it is. It is a. All right. Okay. Okay. If that's what you want. You know, you got all your leadership with their Protect trans kids T shirts on and telling us that prayers don't work. Wow. They've learned their lesson. I mean, they really have studied this. I remember they had that big. Remember they put like a hundred thousand dollars or $300,000 into some study where they Were going to figure out why we lost. Well, they've solved it. I guess they were too positive on prayer and weren't protecting trans kids enough. I guess that was the solution.

[Patton Oswalt]

This would be helpful in 26 and 28, I'm sure. I'm sure it will be more coming up.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, wow. What a day. All right. It's hard to believe, but more than half of the beef sold in this country isn't even from this country. The labels can be misleading. The packaging can have their American flags all over it. But much of that meat was raised and processed overseas for generations. American ranchers built this country with honest work.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Triple eight, 727 Beck. Yeah, we started to play the 10 year old eyewitness. So let's, let's go ahead and see the 10 year old eyewitness that was apparently there.

[Glenn Beck]

My friend like ran kind of.

[Patton Oswalt]

Someone helped him like run out.

[Glenn Beck]

He saw him. He was wearing all, all black and he had a ski mask on.

[Patton Oswalt]

I was down, so I didn't really look up.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean he's got shot through the.

[Patton Oswalt]

Stained glass windows, so they're probably ruined. And then my friend Victor, he was.

[Glenn Beck]

Like, like laying on top of me.

[Patton Oswalt]

Like making sure I was safe and he got hit. So that was really brave of him. And you have a neck on your neck.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, that was.

[Patton Oswalt]

I don't even know what it's from.

[Glenn Beck]

Kind of looks like debris or some.

[Patton Oswalt]

Something. Oh my God. Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

So hard.

[Patton Oswalt]

His friend laid on top of him to protect him. Yeah. And got shot. Oh, wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Look, a lot of people go through a lot of difficult times. This guy, the murderer here, which by the way, we will not say his name right, under any circumstances. But you know, in one of his seemingly his desires was notoriety. So we will not give it to him. But a lot of people go through a lot of things. If you're one of those people going through one of those things, you know, the same thing with this NFL guy a while ago. He's got CTE and he went and goes and shoots a bunch of people. I don't care what your stupid problems are. I don't like if you sorry you have them. I'm sorry you can't figure out what gender you are. I'm sure that's really, honestly, I'm sure that's a really difficult thing to deal with if you're dealing with that. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be. Don't take it out on other people. There's no reason for it. It's so frustrating to see this and what you saw in his writings, Pat, they're like the media is just, they're on a hunt. They're Indiana Jones today, Pat, trying to figure out what this motive is. They are an archaeologist digging in the dirt to try to understand what the motive could be. What could it be? I don't know from all of his writings where he explains it explicitly. But what could. What could it be? We'll get into that here. Coming up in just a couple of moments. It's 888727 Beck Patton stew in for Glass.

When you sign up for a cell phone plan, you're making a choice not just about coverage or data speed, but about what your money is supporting.

Now, debt is kind of like the extra 20 pounds of weight that you just can't shake no matter how much jogging you do.

Patent's two for Glenn today, triple eight. 727 Beck. Every time there's a shooting, of course we learn More about these guns, these implements of death and destruction.

[Glenn Beck]

We do.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, we do, we do. CNN usually teaches us. So does msnbc.

[Glenn Beck]

Really?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't remember that.

[Patton Oswalt]

What do you remember? The lessons that we've learned from them about automatic weapons and these, you know, the magazines that can fire up to eight bullets at once or whatever.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Biden told us about the eight bullet thing.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, he also told us that we should just, you know, when someone comes.

[Patton Oswalt]

Get a shotgun.

[Glenn Beck]

Get a shotgun. Just get a shotgun.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's all you need.

[Glenn Beck]

It's interesting. The shooter yesterday was carrying a shotgun.

[Patton Oswalt]

Porch and fire a shotgun. That'll take care of any problem.

[Glenn Beck]

They had a shotgun during this. This guy had this shotgun.

[Patton Oswalt]

He did.

[Glenn Beck]

And a handgun and then also a rifle. All I've heard is rifle.

[Patton Oswalt]

Rifle. Yes, rifle.

[Glenn Beck]

They want you to believe that's always the one.

[Patton Oswalt]

Well, CNN is going to explain to you about that rifle. Oh, really? Yes, cut 19 seemed like a rifle.

[Glenn Beck]

He said a semi automatic rifle and.

[Patton Oswalt]

It went on for several minutes. Right. And look, that's not, that's not uncommon as well.

[Glenn Beck]

These things can shoot dozens of bullets, you know, in, in just one trigger pull.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right, one trigger pull.

[Glenn Beck]

What happens if they have enough time to.

[Patton Oswalt]

To reload?

[Glenn Beck]

It's one of those horrific things for students to be sitting.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Some points. Does someone sit these people down and.

[Patton Oswalt]

Say, no, they don't. Because they do this every time.

[Glenn Beck]

She even said semi automatic. I was encouraged by it. She actually understood.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes, it was semi automatic.

[Glenn Beck]

She must have been reading it because.

[Patton Oswalt]

She acts like, oh, wow. Really? Oh, you can pull the trigger once and it'll fire dozens of bullets.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh my goodness.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow. Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Magical device.

[Patton Oswalt]

Because even. No, by the way. No, no. That would be an automatic weapon and those are not readily available to Americans. Yes, at this point, basically impossible to get. Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And now it is theoretically possible to get one.

[Patton Oswalt]

Really difficult to get, say a machine gun, which would be an automatic weapon.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it's very hard to obtain. Years of time, you know, tens of thousands of dollars, you know, every invasive check possible. It to my mind, to an uncommon constitutional level. That's a whole nother conversation. But that is where we are. Yeah, it's certainly not true what they're saying there.

[Patton Oswalt]

On a semi automatic, you have to continually pull the trigger. And so that's what that person was doing. But they don't, they don't understand. They have no clue of this.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, I have some sympathy for a person who knows nothing about this and doesn't understand that difference. Right. Like, if you're not a gun person.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm not a gun expert.

[Glenn Beck]

Not even close.

[Patton Oswalt]

Really.

[Glenn Beck]

Like, growing up, I grew up in Connecticut. We had no, you know, guns were. Not really. I mean, my dad was in the military, but, like, we didn't have guns in the house. Gun culture was part of our culture. Like I.

[Patton Oswalt]

Growing up, I didn't either.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I don't. I mean, I knew people who had guns, but it wasn't like something that I thought about on a regular basis. And if I had never thought about this before and was thrown on television for the first time a shooting like this had ever happened, it might be understandable that I would confuse a semi automatic and an automatic weapon. Guys, we've been talking about this for a while. Was 1998.

[Patton Oswalt]

You're right. I don't think it, I don't think it would be confusing for you. I think you could go on and speak about it more factually than this guy just did.

[Glenn Beck]

But like I'm saying, if it was.

[Patton Oswalt]

My first, I think even on your first effort, I thought you'd go on television a little bit more prepared than that.

[Glenn Beck]

Let's just say you pulled out a passing vagrant who knew nothing about anything and threw them on television like they did here, seemingly. Maybe at that point I could understand it.

[Patton Oswalt]

They should probably not use passing vagrants.

[Glenn Beck]

As experts on guns. Maybe that's the issue now. They hired, at least at one point, one of the preeminent gun experts in America as a contributor, Stephen Gutowski, to cnn. Now, I have not seen him on CNN in a long time. I don't know if he still has that deal. Often what happens with CNN and by the way, also Fox and most cable news networks is they will just kind of gather people up. They'll sign people to contributor deals and then not put them on television and kind of just hold them away from everywhere else so they can't be used by their competitors or maybe in this case, by networks that want to inform people about firearms. I don't, you know, Stephen hasn't told me that by any means, but I'm suspicious as to why. I haven't seen him on television in a long time and issues like this, he's like one of the main guys you'd go to for gun information.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. Why didn't they go to him for this?

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know why they don't seem.

[Patton Oswalt]

To have actually knows what a semi automatic rifle is as opposed to an automatic. That would be nice if they had somebody who understood the Difference there. That would be really good.

[Glenn Beck]

Again, I say this, he's an expert. You don't need an expert to know the difference between. About how these guns work. It's like they have this weird. Like they just think all of these situations are John Wick. That is not what this is. That is not reality. That's a movie. It's fascinating to just see how this happens every single time. You now, I don't know, maybe it's a local station. They're desperate. They're pulling people off the streets. Maybe you get someone who makes a mistake like that. It's msnbc, it's cnn. They all know.

[Patton Oswalt]

Should know better, especially by now.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, right. You're gonna be covering these things. It's terrible. These things are going to happen. You're gonna be covering them. I don't know, maybe have somebody perhaps that you've hired as a contributor that can actually explain these things to you.

[Patton Oswalt]

Be nice. I know, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It's crazy.

[Patton Oswalt]

Rather than continually looking like morons and describing weapons that you know nothing about, you don't even know the difference between semi, automatic and automatic. That's pretty basic. We're not experts. We know the difference.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's not that hard. It's really not that hard. No.

[Glenn Beck]

And. And by the way, we're, you know, evil right wingers in Texas on a radio show that just did. I was just talking about Patriot Mobile a couple of minutes ago. Who in their advertising say, we support the second Amendment. That's how close to gun culture we are. Right. We have multiple sponsors that are in the industry and we love them. We believe in the second Amendment. But I've never in my life fired an automatic weapon. Have you?

[Patton Oswalt]

No, not an automatic.

[Glenn Beck]

Not once.

[Patton Oswalt]

Semi. But never an automatic weapon.

[Glenn Beck]

I've never fired one. Now you can go.

[Patton Oswalt]

I think Glenn has.

[Glenn Beck]

I think Glenn has. You can go to certain ranges, like, certainly like when you go to Vegas, you can go to a very controlled environment and fire one of these weapons.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm sure it's really fun.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep. You know, again, you're on a range and you're not. This is not like you owning it. Owning it is incredibly difficult to do. I mean, it is. The process of it is completely absurd. And also you, you can only get them made before. Was it in the 80s? You have to get them. They're very old now. Obviously the parts aren't made as commonly. I mean, it's a very bizarre process, frankly, to get your hands on one of them. But shouldn't the person you're bringing on as an expert to talk about a shooting like this, have that basic information?

[Patton Oswalt]

I would say yes, but they never do. I mean, it's consistent.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, this is a perfect example of this. The other day there's a minor sports controversy, Pat. I don't know if you caught this one. It was on ESPN and they were talking football and one of the people on the panel was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey. Now, Barry Sanders is, if not the greatest running back of all time, certainly one of them. Top three, five. Maybe he's right up there. Everybody who knows anything about football knows who Barry Sanders is. You have any historic cover context whatsoever. Whoever the host was looked at this panelist and said, oh, you're wearing a Shador Sanders jersey.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh my gosh.

[Glenn Beck]

Now shedeur Sanders is a rookie quarterback who's been in the news a lot lately, but it was not a Shador Sanders. It was a Barry Sanders jersey. Now it just seems to me anyone can make a mistake, of course, but it seems to me that you should have someone who knows who Barry Sanders is on your football. Football panel. Like, I just feel like that's a very basic thing. The same thing here, except more important.

[Patton Oswalt]

Really? Yeah, more important.

[Glenn Beck]

And since this is how. Yes, it's certainly much more important. And since this has happened so many times, Pat, you think like you have a per. Maybe higher analysis, you don't want to let them in the building. I get it. I get that. There's the one guy you let in the building as a conservative. What's his name? Scott. I can't think of his name. Up to him, Scott Jennings. Thank you very much. So you let Scott in the building. He's the only one. Maybe. Just tell Scott, look, you're on call. We're gonna keep you in the green room. Every person that walks in, please explain to them the difference between an automatic and a semi automatic weapon. Maybe you just need to hire someone to do that. Maybe hire someone, Pay a conservative, go to a gun store and pay somebody who works there 20 bucks an hour to sit in your green room. And every person that walks in and go, hi, how are you? Welcome to cnn. Just wanted to inform you that a semi automatic weapon, you have to pull the trigger once. An automatic weapon, you pull it once, hold it and it'll fire multiple times. That's how that works. If you're asked about that, please don't say the exact opposite every single time. Thank you so much for coming to cnn. Maybe that approach would be helpful in a scenario like this. Pat.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes, I think it would. I think it would. I think it would. But, you know, maybe I'm just too picky. Maybe. Maybe that's the answer.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe that's it.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm just too picky. I just. I think they should know the difference. And maybe CNN disagrees.

[Glenn Beck]

They do. They do.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. They really do. All right, Triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck. More coming up in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, pain doesn't just hurt your body. It starts to interfere with pretty much every aspect of your life. That goes double. If the pain is really bad and you're dealing with it frequently, all of a sudden you stop doing the things you love. You turn down invitations, you watch from the sidelines while everyone else keeps going on with their lives. And that's why Relief Factor exists. It's created by doctors. It's a daily supplement designed to tackle the root causes of inflammation which is the source of most aches and pains. And the results speak for themselves. Hundreds of thousands of people, people have discovered what it feels like to live without constant pain holding them back. Taken every day, it doesn't just provide relief, it restores the freedom to say yes again. Yes to the hike, yes to playing with the grandkids, yes to living your life the way you want to live it. Because pain might be part of getting older, but it doesn't have to be the end of your story. You can give their three week quick start a try. It's only $19.95. Visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-for relief. 1-800-for relief. It's 1-800-the number for relief or relieffactor.com 10 seconds. Station ID. This is the Blaze Radio Network.

[Patton Oswalt]

And then we have MSNBC with the obligatory, there are too many handguns in America.

[Glenn Beck]

I think it's either like, you have to be honest and say what will actually work, which is what nobody wants to hear, which is that there are just simply way too many firearms and there are way too accessible. And even if they aren't, they're too powerful. And they're too powerful, even handguns are. Again, that's why in Australia, it doesn't matter if it's not politically acceptable to say it. I'm not here as a politician or anyone who works in politics. I'm a journalist. Whether or not you like it, the only thing that really works if you really wanted to bring down gun violence, was to do what Australia did and to do what many other countries in Europe do. I realize I will get so much hate mail over this. People will tell Me that I'm a communist and all these other things, and I'm so terrible. Which also only reinforces the point, as I. As I will definitely get, you know.

[Patton Oswalt]

Some sort of, like, blowback.

[Glenn Beck]

You got a lot of stuff going on in your head right now, which is to say, like, these people, like, who are supposed to be so lobbying that, like, you know, I ought to die or whatever else it is, you better watch out.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right?

[Glenn Beck]

No, no, no. Okay, first of all, he's having an entire social media conversation in his head while he's on tele.

[Patton Oswalt]

Not necessary.

[Glenn Beck]

You don't need to do that. You don't need to answer every one of your critics. Yes. Someone will say something stupid to you. Yes, of course. I don't know that you're a journalist. Certainly doesn't seem like it. You don't seem to know the basic facts about Australia. No, they've done studies on it. That whole change with weapons did not.

[Patton Oswalt]

It didn't make any lick of difference. It didn't.

[Glenn Beck]

Didn't make a lick of difference.

[Patton Oswalt]

About the same as it was before.

[Glenn Beck]

As it was before. Now, there is a cultural thing here in the United States and certainly a cultural thing around mass shootings here in the United States. There's also a cultural thing about suicide in Japan. Right. Like, there are certain things that affect cultures in different ways. And it's why you have a lot of this, like the marquee crime right now that gets all the attention from people like this who will plaster this guy's face all over television and tell you his name and tell you all the things he thought was important. They will do that and they will perpetrate this and make it go on forever. But mass shootings is like this. It was like this with serial killers at one point in this country. It was like this with assassinations at one point in this country. Some of those crimes had to do with guns. Some of them didn't. You know, I mean, it is just. There is a splashy, marquee type of crime that seems to affect us in certain eras. Frankly, terrorism was part of it at one point as well. You know, you hope that stops and you try to stop it. But again, this person. There have been certain crimes. You can maybe point to something like this, but this person had a handgun, a shotgun and an AR15. It wasn't like he was the guy in Vegas who had tons and tons of weapons in his hotel room. Dozens of them. It wasn't an issue of having too many of them. There are a lot of weapons in this country, let's say your law, which would do. By the way, these laws that they wanna pass would not even decrease the number of guns in the country. But even if they did that, I think if I remember right, it's been a while, but the Australia buyback confiscation program that they passed, I think got rid of about 30% of the weapons in the country. So if you were to do that in America, which would be completely insane to try to do and would probably start a civil war, but if you did it, it, you'd probably eliminate 100 million weapons and leave 250 million on the streets. You think there's going to be no. No murders that happen in that situation? No one can get a hand, a handle on a gun.

[Patton Oswalt]

Well, here's the thing.

[Glenn Beck]

Open borders where you can get them whenever you want.

[Patton Oswalt]

Murder is banned right now.

[Glenn Beck]

What?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Murder in this country should pass a law saying we should do have murder.

[Patton Oswalt]

Did that. They did that when every state.

[Glenn Beck]

When the.

[Patton Oswalt]

And federally.

[Glenn Beck]

Was there ever a book that covered this?

[Patton Oswalt]

There was really.

[Glenn Beck]

Did they have a lot of vows in it?

[Patton Oswalt]

Biblay or something?

[Glenn Beck]

Michael.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, I think it was Michael B. Yeah. Said don't kill people. And then he sang some songs and stuff.

[Glenn Beck]

But some Sinatra, some Tony Bennett.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. There's a ban on murder right now and that, you know, so if you're going to break that ban, I don't think you care about the gun law either.

[Glenn Beck]

Really.

[Patton Oswalt]

What about.

[Glenn Beck]

What about the incredibly restrictive laws in Minneapolis and, and Chic and Chicago that ban all these weapons?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. How about that to work. Do they. No, they don't seem to work now. That's because if you listen to the officials in those cities, they all come from out of state. They're all coming from Texas.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

That's where the. That's why is because Texans are coming here killing Chicagoans.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, I can't tell you how many times I walk into a gun store and I see a lot of like Baltimore gang members in there purchasing their weapons. Happens all, all the time. Yep. They're all huge. They just. They drive on down to Tex.

[Patton Oswalt]

That's why you have to stand in line in Texas.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Every time you go to a gun store. Because you got the Baltimore killers and then the Chicago killers and that. You know, it's, it's, it's like, can.

[Glenn Beck]

We have a different lane for locals? Almost everyone is. It's, it's such. There's this fascinating thing where we're told how racist we are.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And at the same time, we have this entirely very close relationship. All of us white suburban people that are gun owners are just constantly giving our guns to gang members. In cities. We're always hanging out. We meet them at the local Denny's, and we're just like, hey, guys, here's all of our weapons that we purchased in our nice little communities where guns are legal.

[Patton Oswalt]

You should take them to Chicago.

[Glenn Beck]

You should take them to Chicago where they're not legal and shoot people where that apparently is not legal either.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's so, so ridiculous, dumb.

[Glenn Beck]

These arguments are so stupid. And they continue to make them. They just go on autopilot. It's immediately like, well, what. What group did the first thing you need to do? If you're gonna be on the left, you gotta have. You gotta have your gun defense there. You gotta have all that ready. But the first thing you need to do is what group committed the crime? Let's feel bad for them. That's your first step. Your first step is to say, let me identify the. The group of people that the murderer belonged to. And then we should all agree to not blame them. That's step number one one.

[Patton Oswalt]

Well, unless they're Trump fans then, right? That's the first thing you want to do, is blame all Trump fans.

[Glenn Beck]

Trump fans, yeah. Gosh, it's. It's so hard to keep track of, but it is. There's got. Someone's got to make a flowchart.

[Patton Oswalt]

888, 727 Beck. More coming up. This is Glenn Beck.

[Patton Oswalt]

Sign up for our free newsletter and find out more about the torch. Get it [e-mail] Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Triple 8, 727 Beck. You mentioned earlier that there's a search for motive here. Oh, have we found, have we found the motive?

[Glenn Beck]

Well, if you think about picture yourself, Pat, you're going through the tunnels of a cave. Each step is only lit by a torch as you try to see. And then if every situation with Indiana Jones's right, snakes would be there because he doesn't like snakes.

[Patton Oswalt]

Or rats.

[Glenn Beck]

Rats, usually bugs.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, bugs.

[Glenn Beck]

They really went to that well a bunch of times, didn't they? Yeah, they did in those movies. This bizarre search for motive is fascinating to me now. I don't know what they're looking for exactly. He wrote a bunch of this stuff down. He's put it out there in videos. And I think there is quite an obvious part of this that has to do with mental illness. Very serious mental problems.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Obviously, even to his own, even in his own writings, he admits that, that he's tortured by all of this stuff.

[Patton Oswalt]

There's something wrong with him.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. There's a new report saying, by the way, he says he wishes he was never brainwashed into being trans. He says, I wish I never brainwashed myself. And he was tired of being trans, which is interesting. That's a new development today, by the way. So that's part of it. We've talked about that angle. We know because he wrote it on weapons. Right. The things he wanted to do. He wanted to try to kill Donald Trump.

[Patton Oswalt]

Obviously had it written on the rifle rival.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep. One wonderful news organization covered that by saying he had the name Donald Trump on the weapons in a way of like kind of saying, does it mean he was supporting Donald Trump? Is that why? No, he was trying to kill him or at least wanted to kill him. He also talked about killing Elon Musk in some of his writings as well. But it seems to me the main part of this, other than just being miserable, is a sort of nihilistic Desire for violence. Right. He wanted this to happen. He praised the, you know, the Sandy Hook shooter, for example, was fascinated with these people, like their celebrities. This is why you don't, at least if you're listening to this program, only don't know his name because we're not telling it to you. I will tell you, we changed his name from a boy's name to a girl's name. But that's about as much as I want you to know about it. Not that you can't find it. Of course you can, because everyone else will come out and tell you and blurt it out and make him seem like a hero so that the next 10 shooters can see the treatment of it and they can go and do these things again. And the cycle continues. By the way, when you look at studies of these things, that is the most consistent thing. It's not even mental illness, honestly. More consistently is the search for notoriety and an inner praise of this very bizarre culture. So if you want to, stop it, and I know many sites have started to do this, particularly on the right, not give them the attention they deserve. But most of the mainstream ones refuse to do it, so that's a problem. But in this bizarre search for motive, they can't find it. They can't understand what the motive was. They cannot locate it. And I will say, usually with police, they intentionally don't tell you what the motive is at this point in their investigation. Right. That is not the way the police operate. Every single time this happens, you always see some police officer saying, we don't know what the motive is at this point. And everyone's like, well, of course we know what the motive is. It's outside of a synagogue or whatever. And you're like, we know, but that's not the way they handle it. And I understand that this is a legal process for them and different than an opinion or even a news story. But in this manifesto of his, he explains pretty clearly why he wants to do this, and it's because he likes watching kids die. Now, you might say that that is not motivation, you understand? I hope it isn't. You might say it's not motivation. Like the typical stuff we talk about. Well, he's not saying he's doing it to honor Donald Trump. I don't know how to report on this. That's what the media seems to be stuck in some loop like that. But he says quite clearly he wants to also. He wants to kill himself, essentially. Who knows he's going to die through this? But he says quite clearly he wants kids to die. He likes watching them die. He says, I don't want to do it to spread a message. I do it to please myself. I do it because I am sick. So mental illness and the fact that he has found now pleasure in watching kids die, he says that overtly. He says he wants to be the scary, horrible monster standing over the powerless kids. And he says he wants to find. He says, maybe I can find an event at the on site church. I think attacking a large group of kids coming in from recess might be my best plan. From there I can go inside and kill going for as long as I can. He says, I also love when kids get shot. I love to see kids get torn apart. These are his words. He also says, I hate fascism, which is interesting. Also echoes of. I mean, every antifa member will tell you that they're just saying they're anti fascist now. I mean, pretty much everybody at this point hates fascism. It's not a popular ideology, but of course, of course it's the left that's constantly accusing everyone of engaging in fascism. He was not a. I don't think you can look at his ideology as something, first of all that's notable. I mean, these people are. Their thought process is largely meaningless. They don't make important points. That's the thing that we need to all get over as a society. When you go and you shoot somebody up because your issue is X, then I don't want to think or care about X for a long time. I want you to be punished for the things that you do not rewarded for them because that's what the media seems to want to do. But it's not really. I mean, there are two things we know about his motives. Yes, he was very seemingly anti religious people. He was very anti Semitic as well. Though he did not target Jews in this particular attack, he did consider it in his writings. But what we know about him are two things. Number one, he had some visceral need to see violent things happen to children. And number two, he was very mentally ill. And you can see that manifest in many ways. Some of it's just in his writings. Some of it is about how he wanted to see violent acts. Some of it is about how he wanted to kill himself and do harm to himself, himself and others. Some of it is also indicated in the fact that he could not decipher what gender he was. That is a sign of the inability to recognize reality. It is very, you know, very obvious to everyone who wants to be honest to recognize such a Fact, the Lieutenant.

[Patton Oswalt]

Governor of Minnesota would like you not to to even mention that.

[Glenn Beck]

Really?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. She's. She's trying to protect trans kids and with you saying something like that it makes it more difficult for her to protect these kids.

[Glenn Beck]

Does it? Because I'm not. I don't want anything bad to happen to as she would describe a trans kid. I don't want that to happen.

[Patton Oswalt]

She's got a very interesting way of speaking about protecting trans kids. Check out her, her T shirt which I'm, I'm. She's got a knife on it which I, I don't know what that exactly signifies. Is that a. Are you signaling that this is to cut off body parts of trans kids?

[Glenn Beck]

I doubt that.

[Patton Oswalt]

Are you protecting the trans kids with the knife? Are you gonna kill people who approach. What is the knife significance? I'd like to know.

[Glenn Beck]

But anyways, let's be clear.

[Patton Oswalt]

Here she is.

[Glenn Beck]

This is life affirming and life saving.

[Patton Oswalt]

Health by the way. There's no evidence of that.

[Glenn Beck]

Who they are.

[Patton Oswalt]

It is our job as grown ups.

[Glenn Beck]

To listen and to believe them. That is quite possible. The dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Patton Oswalt]

So stupid. Are you kidding me?

[Glenn Beck]

What are you talking about?

[Patton Oswalt]

If my 12 year old comes to me and says I'm tired of being a boy, I want to be a girl, I should just believe them and help them, them make that transition right then, right then and there because they know what's best. Right. I don't as a fully grown and developed human being and as an adult person. I don't.

[Glenn Beck]

As a parent.

[Patton Oswalt]

As a parent. Yeah. Who's been around life a little bit longer and knows that maybe that will change in could be a week, could be a year, might be five years, but it could definitely change. And I should just go with them and believe them and help them make that transition.

[Glenn Beck]

And you know, if you happen to have. And I want to make sure you're clear here and you understand the full advice of the wonderful Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota. If your daughter comes to you and says she's really fat when she's really skinny and anorexic, you should believe her and tell her she's fat and encourage her to go on Ozempic immediately.

[Patton Oswalt]

Stop.

[Glenn Beck]

Stop eating.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. Stop eating.

[Glenn Beck]

Put her on the shots.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, yeah, you.

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, fatty.

[Patton Oswalt]

Absolutely.

[Glenn Beck]

Get away from, get away from the dinner table, fatty. That's how you, you must embrace what they say when they're having a crisis of some sort. Yep. If they're saying they're the wrong Gender, Tell them that they're correct.

[Patton Oswalt]

Is that the worst advice ever administered by an adult human being?

[Glenn Beck]

Again, you can tell this is minor league stuff here because someone who actually understands this, most of these left wing politicians aren't dumb enough to state it that way. You poke holes in it so immediately that people at some level of basic intelligence on the left will at least hide it. That is not what she did because.

[Patton Oswalt]

She'S not at all one of those people. And the lemmings in the audience too. APPLAUDING AND cheering Yes. Believe your 9 year old change genders. Yes, immediately. If they say they're like.

[Glenn Beck]

If they say they're a superhero, throw them off the roof. They'll fly.

[Patton Oswalt]

Of course.

[Glenn Beck]

They must be able to.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I want to have the same shirt of Protect trans kids with a knife. A knife.

[Patton Oswalt]

A big butcher knife on it.

[Glenn Beck]

I want a cape and a roof. He just. If they put a cape on them and toss them out of a building, let's see what happens. We all know what would happen. What, they would hit the ground?

[Patton Oswalt]

No, but they told me they could fly, so I know I'm supposed to believe them. And if I'm a good parent, I believe them. No so bad.

[Glenn Beck]

You know the anorexia one is, you know, it's been used before, but it is such a, it's such a valid example of this.

[Patton Oswalt]

Sure is.

[Glenn Beck]

Because what's happening in their lives in that moment is. Their reality is they are fat.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right?

[Glenn Beck]

Everyone else knows they are not. And we go to them and we say, no, you're not fat. We have to figure out a way for you to understand this. Of course we don't berate them. We don't tell them they're horrible human beings for not understanding. We try to help them through a crisis. We don't encourage it. We don't, we don't say, well then you should go on the Biggest Loser. You'll be a great contestant, honey, for the Biggest Loser. Cuz you're such a fatty. You should be on the treadmill 24 hours a day and taking weight loss drugs. That's not how you deal with it.

[Patton Oswalt]

What if I take the Alec Baldwin direction for parenting and call them a thoughtless, rude little pig gig? Does that work? Is that good?

[Glenn Beck]

That's great.

[Patton Oswalt]

Because he's a great parent.

[Glenn Beck]

Right? I forgot about that call, obviously.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, that was a good recorded phone.

[Glenn Beck]

Call, by the way. Still completely embraced in our society and praised in Hollywood. No penalty for that. No, no penalty for just berating.

[Patton Oswalt]

Killed somebody and he's still, he's still beloved. All right, more coming up. But other than that, other than that, he's great.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, he's great. I mean, come on, give the guy a break. Oh, gosh. All right. Everyone talks about eating better, working out, cutting back on screens, but the real bottom line is if you're not sleeping, none of that matters very much.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn. Today we were just talking about Alec Baldwin. Amazing that he survived the whole phone call to his daughter. That, that was as brutal a father speaking to a daughter as I think I've ever heard in real life.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And had multiple other anger type issues. Hitting rapport multiples and you know, all sorts of things.

[Patton Oswalt]

The shooting thing.

[Glenn Beck]

More of a break on that. Yeah. I don't really his fault.

[Patton Oswalt]

I mean, it's fun to blame him for that. Yeah. But it is. It's probably not his fault.

[Glenn Beck]

It's probably not his fault. But I am fascinated by our society who just picks individuals who will never really be held responsible.

[Patton Oswalt]

Like they're not Teflon.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. They're not like excommunicated from society as most people were. Like, Mike Tyson's a good example of this.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, my God.

[Glenn Beck]

Mike Tyson was convicted of rape.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

He wasn't accused of rape.

[Patton Oswalt]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

Which is bad. He was convicted of rape.

[Patton Oswalt]

He's actually did time.

[Glenn Beck]

Time for rape.

[Patton Oswalt]

Was it two years, three years, something like that.

[Glenn Beck]

And then he's like, here's a fun person to insert in our comedic mov or the other. Another one not nearly as serious I don't think is Snoop Dogg, which I'm fascinated about. And I wonder if that's going to change anytime soon because here's a guy who has all sorts of, you know, obviously had a past that had some criminal activity. Also was in like porns, like was like actual pornography. Not necessarily acting in the full like videos but yeah, appearing in like Girls Gone Wild videos and like hosting, like releasing and selling and making money off of pornography and stuff like that. Like the normal stuff that doesn't land you super bowl commercials later on in life.

[Patton Oswalt]

Typically, typically.

[Glenn Beck]

And everyone's just like, no, it just totally like that's Snoop Dogg, that's Snoopy. And Snoop Biden had a little bit of that with, with a Biden being Biden. But the Snoop thing, I wonder if it's going to change because he was recently at a movie with his grand kid and, and there was like a lesbian scene in a cartoon. He's like, why are they doing that? Why are they putting that in those movies? He said that on a podcast. And this is the type of thing that all of a sudden makes you responsible for your previous activities. If you, if you cross a line and all of a sudden sound too conservative. Everyone remembers all the bad thing you bad things you did in your life.

[Patton Oswalt]

Watch out. Snoop, this is Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

Let me ask you this. How many pill bottles are in your cabinet actually with a backup plan? Like if the supply chain were to break down and pharmacies were to close and a disaster were to strike, do you have what you need to keep you or maybe your family safe?

[Patton Oswalt]

Safe?

[Glenn Beck]

Most people don't. They think about food storage maybe about flashlights and generators maybe. But we forget that modern medicine is just as vulnerable to disruption. Jace Medical saw that gap and built a solution called the Jace Case. It's an emergency supply of prescription antibiotics that are basically the same ones that doctors use every single day packaged for long term storage. So you have them when you need the most. And it's not just about antibiotics that they also provide custom emergency medications for people with chronic conditions. Because you know if you need it every day, you can't afford to be without it. In a world that feels more and more fragile every day. Having the Jace Case isn't paranoia, it's responsible. Check it out. It's the Jace Case. Use the promo code [e-mail]. check out right now with the promo code [e-mail].

[Patton Oswalt]

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Yeah, with Pat and Stu today, Triple eight, seven two seven. Beck. We're gonna get right back into solving all the world's problems by the time Glenn gets back. Yeah, we're gonna fix everything today.

[Glenn Beck]

What's he gonna talk about if we solve them all before he gets back?

[Patton Oswalt]

All right, we'll leave him one thing. We'll leave him one thing.

[Glenn Beck]

Do we know which one is gonna be.

[Patton Oswalt]

Not yet.

[Glenn Beck]

Not yet.

[Patton Oswalt]

Not yet.

[Glenn Beck]

Whatever. Whatever. The last thing we talk about, last.

[Patton Oswalt]

Thing that we don't get to. We'll leave for here him to fix on either tomorrow or Monday when he gets back. Well, he's not back Monday. It's Labor Day.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, well, how about this? Yeah, let's. Let's take this one off the board. Let's solve your sleep problems. Oh, because, you know, when you're a kid, you might have thought that, like, being an adult meant staying up late and eating ice cream for dinner and doing whatever you wanted.

[Patton Oswalt]

I still think that's the case, and.

[Glenn Beck]

It is my reality, mostly. But you eventually grow up in. You're supposed to at least realize that being an adult actually means spending most of your time looking for the one thing you never appreciated enough as a kid, which is sleep. But not just any sleep. Good sleep. The kind that makes you feel like you've been wrapped in a cloud and told the world can wait until you're ready. That's Cozy Earth. You'll love Cozy Earth.

[Patton Oswalt]

Ah, Patton Stew. Today, have you noticed the big deal the media is making out out of President Trump's bruise on his right hand?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, that and the cankles yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

He's got. I don't know. And they talked about the fact that he had some water weight or whatever and, you know, some swelling in his ankles and legs. There's some kind of condition that he has that they're trying to fix. But the hand bruise, they're acting like this is such an incredible medical emergency. I don't know what it could be. That would be super serious. I. You know, as you age, this might surprise people, but your skin kind of thins out sometimes, and you bruise easier than you used to. And especially if you take any kind of medication that thins your blood, you can bruise very, very easily. So I don't know if it's bruising from handshakes or if he's had an IV maybe in his hand that caused a bruise. It's happened to me before. But they're acting like this is a major, major issue that he is trying to keep up. Joe Biden couldn't speak. He couldn't read a teleprompter. He couldn't repeat numbers. He couldn't find his way off a stage. He got lost around world leaders. Barack Obama had to lead him around by the hand to get him off a stage. His wife had to continually do that. The media ignored all of it. But this bruise on the back of Trump's hand, that is one of the scandals of the century. We've got to get to the bottom of this. What does that mean?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Why is he hiding it?

[Glenn Beck]

It's fascinating, too, because their excuse for missing all those things with Biden was that, well, look, they were lying to us about it. Remember that?

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

They're like, hey, they're sorry. They were lying.

[Patton Oswalt]

They were lying. So we didn't know.

[Glenn Beck]

So we didn't know. We couldn't do. What were we supposed to do? Look into it further. Come on.

[Patton Oswalt]

Are you a journalist? Yeah, but that's not what we do.

[Glenn Beck]

That's not what we do.

[Patton Oswalt]

That's not what we do.

[Glenn Beck]

We just take exactly what unnamed AIDS kids who won't put their name on the information tell us. And that's basically the truth, by the way. Yes, that is true, but here they are just. They're. They're. They're animals for the truth.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, my gosh.

[Glenn Beck]

They need to know where this bruise is going.

[Patton Oswalt]

They're gonna burrow as deep as it takes to get to the bottom of this.

[Glenn Beck]

Why isn't there more definition between his ankles and his calves?

[Patton Oswalt]

I don't know, but I. I must find out.

[Glenn Beck]

I will say Cankles is one of my favorite terms. It's a, It's a legitimately funny term.

[Patton Oswalt]

It was the actual word that Jeff Fisher used for Hillary Clinton for many, many years.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, her name was cankles. That's right.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't remember the media ever freaking out about that. Oh, they didn't worry about the fact that she had cankles?

[Patton Oswalt]

No, they didn't care. So, yeah, it's. It's amazing to watch. Also, the Smithsonian is being cleaned up right now, and they have a real problem with that because. What's wrong with the Smithsonian? Everything's fine there. What are you changing history? You're rewriting things in a conservative way. Um, their L, G, B, T, Q, Q, I, A two plus history at the Smithsonian includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, transsexual, transvestite, Mayhew, homosexual.

[Glenn Beck]

What was that last one?

[Patton Oswalt]

Mayhew. Oh, don't. Don't pretend like you're.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think I've ever heard Mayhew.

[Patton Oswalt]

Okay, for those who are feigning ignorance on the Mayhew situation, I mean, that's obviously from Hawaiian culture, Stu. Third gendered individuals who embody both male and female spirit, and they hold a respected and integral role as caretakers, healers, teachers, and keepers of tradition in Hawaii. That's Mayhew.

[Glenn Beck]

Mayhew.

[Patton Oswalt]

Mayhew. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

So shocking that I didn't know that.

[Patton Oswalt]

It is. It's despicable, really. But then there's more fluid invert, earning U, r, n, I, n, G. Really?

[Glenn Beck]

A lot of these I haven't heard.

[Patton Oswalt]

Before, but they're all featured. You need to go to the Smithsonian and learn, because I'm going to teach you third sex, two sex, gender bender, Saffist, he draw, friend of Dorothy, drag queen slash king, and many other experiences you'll find at the Smithsonian. I mean, that's a. That's amazing. I didn't even like you. I. I honestly didn't know a lot of these terms, like friend of Dorothy. You know what? Have you ever heard that expression friend of Dorothy? As you might. If you really think about it, it kind of makes sense. It's Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.

[Glenn Beck]

Right?

[Patton Oswalt]

Apparently, I guess gay men gravitated toward Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. Why? So back in the 40s and 50s, they would use that reference as kind of a veiled. Yeah, I'm gay thing.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, so it's an old reference.

[Patton Oswalt]

An old reference.

[Glenn Beck]

Friend of Dorothy.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So kind of like. Yeah, okay. All right. I mean, again, that's not A gender?

[Patton Oswalt]

No, no, it's not.

[Glenn Beck]

Not a gender. That's just a. A way of saying that you're gay without saying it.

[Patton Oswalt]

And what you'll find about hi Draw, which I wasn't terribly familiar with, that's a term used in South Asia, particularly in India, to describe a group of people who are neither male nor female and often identify as a third gender. Well, if they're not male or female, you would think, yeah, it's gravitating toward a third or fourth or fifth gender. They're assigned male at birth, but may present with feminine characteristics and roles and may or may not undergo castration.

[Glenn Beck]

Ouch.

[Patton Oswalt]

They also have a distinct social structure and culture, including hierarchy, hierarchical systems of gurus and chiles, which I'm also not familiar with. But that's what you're going to find at the Smithsonian. And I think Trump is trying to eliminate some of that stuff because, of course, he hates people. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

There's this sort of fake controversy that popped up before about how much he hates people.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Which was basically around the idea because he, I guess, truthed something that said everything in the Smithsonian is about how bad slavery was.

[Patton Oswalt]

Was.

[Glenn Beck]

And the way the media reported on that was to say, Donald Trump asks why people. Why Smithsonian covers how bad slavery was. Like indicating what he really wanted them to do was to say how good slavery was.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right. Which was not the point, of course.

[Glenn Beck]

Not at all the point. It was also not the point that he wanted to say that slavery was misunderstood or that maybe we should at least cover the positive aspects of slavery. None of that was what he was saying.

[Patton Oswalt]

He wasn't alleging any of that.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, what was interesting about this is every person who wrote the headline knew that he was not saying that. Of course they did, but they wrote it that way intentionally, so that their audience, who has dedicated their lives to hate clicking Donald Trump stories, can plausibly act as if that's what he meant. The New York Times is reporting it. The New York Times said that's what it was. Now, if you ask the New York Times, what they will say is, well, he did say those exact words.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And he did actually tweet those exact words. Now, they don't include the context around it, which would blatantly, as he says later in the message, indicate what he was talking about. Well, was. Which was, look, the balance is off. It's not that we can't cover slavery or can't cover bad things about our country, but the balance is off. We are the greatest country in the history of the world. Now, I know the New York Times doesn't agree with that. I know that they think it's a crap heap that should be destroyed. I get that. That's their opinion. But the president's opinion's different. He thinks the country's really good. And so we should be covering the great things that we've done, but also talk about some of the bad things we've done as well. In his first term, he did that. What Was it, the 1776 project? Was that the name of it? We talked to the guys who put it together, by the way, African American historians, partially, and they talked about how, hey, yeah, we've done really bad things in this country. We should talk about that. Why? To make sure we don't do them again.

[Patton Oswalt]

And this show is a really good example of that because, I mean, Glenn's done that for decades.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep. He has a museum right across this parking lot that I'm looking at as we speak that houses a lot of the stuff that is in, that talks about the bad things in our history, also the really good things. But one of the fascinating parts about the bad stuff in her history, what's the point of that? To just beat yourself up? To torture your ancestors, to say how dumb they were and how horrible they were? They were. That's not the reason for it. The reason to learn about past history, that was. That highlights the worst things your country has ever done, slavery being one of them, is to make sure you don't do those things again. And one of the things that led to slavery, that was crucial to the foundation, the foundational aspects of. Of the institution of slavery was judging people by the color of their skin. One of the central things we needed to learn about slavery and how it came across was we shouldn't call people inferior or superior based on the color of their skin. We should treat them equally regardless of that color difference. That's the central lesson of slavery. And what does the left want to do? But of course, obviously, blatantly say that now we are supposed to consider skin color the most important thing about a person.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right. Colorblindness is itself racist.

[Glenn Beck]

Racist. I mean, that's what we're supposed to do.

[Patton Oswalt]

Now they have completely discarded the teachings of mlk, completely out the window. Now they. They don't want anything to do with not judging people by the color of their skin instead, by the content of their character. They don't want anything to do with that. It's. It's amazing to watch how they have just completely disregarded the teachings of mlk. And that's, that's another one of the things you'll see across the way here at the, at the museum is we feature some of those things from Martin Luther King Jr. And it's really important.

[Glenn Beck]

When you make a big change like that, like when society all agrees on something like, you know, even Democrats, you know, for years and years and years and years. Pat, even though I wouldn't say they did this correctly, would say this was their goal, to get to a place where we wouldn't care about color of skin. That wouldn't be something that we noticed. I mean like, there's a lot of things we don't notice. Like we don't judge people based on the color of their eyes. We never do that. That's never a thing that occurs. We're never like, oh gosh, these blue eyed people, these brown eyed people, green eyed people. That's not what we do. I believe it was the philosopher Dr. Seuss who once talked about star bellied sneetches and everyone was like, oh gosh, they've got stars on their bellies. We want to be like them. Stars on thars, stars on Thars. And then people get the stars removed from their bellies and, and everyone wants to be like them. And it was like, it was a point of like, this is nonsense. Why would you, why would that be a factor at all in how you're judging a person? It's the same thing, right? It's stupid. It's. If you are judging people and making decisions based on skin color. And look, there are a few certainly recently that seem to be very fascinated with this topic on the right as well. It's dumb. It is dumb. The whole pursuit is dumb. Dumb.

[Patton Oswalt]

You're dumb.

[Glenn Beck]

If that's how you judge people. This used to be something we could agree on. Recently we've seen a little disparity in that opinion, largely from the left and a little bit of it on the right, which I don't like, but certainly mostly on the left. It's just a stupid pursuit and you're never gonna solve anything by doing it. There's so many immutable characteristics that we could pick. It's just dumb. It's just a silly, silly way to run a civilization.

[Patton Oswalt]

And you know, at one point, it seems 20, 25 years ago, we kind of got past some of that, I mean, to a pretty large degree. And then after the presidency of the man that was supposed to be post racial, Barack Obama, we went right back to it and all of that stuff. Was eliminated and he sent us back, I think decades as far as judging people by the content of their character. Triple eight. Seven, two, seven back. More coming up in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, the story of Christians and Jews is a long one, certainly. Shared history, shared scripture, Scripture and of course, a shared faith, an almighty God. But it is also a story of struggle, of persecution, and of the need for unity and friendship that still exists today, that maybe exists today more strongly than it ever has before. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists to bridge that gap. They provide food and care to the elderly Holocaust survivors who have been left behind. They deliver support to families living under the constant fear of attack on Israel. They, they help Jews return to their biblical homeland when they have nowhere else to go. This is more than charity. It is a calling. It is a faith put into action. And when Christians step up to help the Jewish people, we aren't just meeting a need. We're honoring a bond that has existed since the beginning. It's a chance to live out the words and profess a lasting relationship, standing shoulder to shoulder with God's people and helping them face whatever the world has to throw at them.

[Patton Oswalt]

Them.

[Glenn Beck]

To learn more about how you can help, visit ifcj.org, it's a great organization doing really important work. It's ifcj.org 10seconds. Station ID.

[Patton Oswalt]

One of the most fascinating characters in media is Harry Enton, cnn I like Harry. I do, too. I do, too.

[Glenn Beck]

He's a character, too.

[Patton Oswalt]

He's, he gets really animated when he's talking about his poll.

[Glenn Beck]

Really? Does he love them?

[Patton Oswalt]

And he's not afraid when the poll shows something positive for President Trump? He's not afraid to talk about it.

[Glenn Beck]

No. I'm surprised they let him. I am, too.

[Patton Oswalt]

I'm surprised he's still there.

[Glenn Beck]

And he's not, by the way, not a conservative as far as I know at all. He's just, yeah, I don't know what his policies, I've never really seen them shine through in his coverage. I mean, he's a, he's just a data, he's a data nerd. And he'd be proud, I think, of that type of title. And he's super animated when talking about it.

[Patton Oswalt]

And he had a word for Democrats yesterday.

[Glenn Beck]

Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with the American consumers.

[Patton Oswalt]

Bad, bad, bad.

[Glenn Beck]

What are you doing? Oh, my goodness gracious. What are we talking about here in terms of big party registration changes in the key swing states let's look at the key four swing states that in fact do keep track of registration by party. Look, the Republican Party is in their best position at this point in the cycle since at least 2005. And all four of these key battleground states, we go out to the southwest.

[Patton Oswalt]

How does he still have a job? Cnn. You know when the anchor, sometimes the anchor is standing there with him usually and you could tell that they're just dying a slow death while he's talking about these positive numbers.

[Glenn Beck]

And they always have pre written questions that, that they. To move him to his next poll. Right. But you can tell they just wanna be like shut up. And by the way he often the ones that make it to conservative media often highlight these types of things. Right. It's a moment on CNN where someone's saying something that is critical of Democrats or bad news for Democrats. But I mean he covers stuff that's bad news for Trump and bad news for Republicans all the time. He's just a guy who looks at the polls and looks for things that maybe other people aren't talking about about then I find his coverage valuable for that reason. But you know, he's not also he's, you know, he said this before. I just want, I'm not pro Trump or anything. I'm just trying to give him a fair shot.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

A fair shake.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

That's all I want.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. I don't want mindless pro Trump coverage from the media.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't want that. I get that sometimes honestly from people on the right who just mold mindlessly. You know, just saying the best thing about Trump on a day to day basis. I don't find much value in that frankly. I'd rather have someone who's looking at these things critically and trying to give me the truth. I feel like look, he works at CNN. He's worked in. I think he was at 538 for a while and it might have been at the time when they were under the New York Times banner. So I don't know if I had to guesstimate what he might be. It's probably not conservative but whatever. Like he, I get, I get information from his reporting and I like it.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

That's all.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I like getting true.

[Patton Oswalt]

It seems fair.

[Glenn Beck]

It seems fair.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

He's at least trying to be fair I think. And that's, that's more than I get from almost every other media source right now.

[Patton Oswalt]

No question. Especially at CNN. 888727 Beck, it's Patton. Stu for Glenn today on The Glenn Beck program. I won't. This is Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

So there's a lot of organizations out there that you could support. Why choose Prageru? Well, how about for the free videos that teach common sense, history, economics, and values? In just five minutes, you can learn more truth than most students hear for, like four years of college.

Beck.Com for all your Glenn Beck needs, from news stories you might have missed to content you're gonna love. Check out glenn beck.com today it's Patton Stew for Glenn triple eight seven two seven. Beck. Been following this object that is speeding through our solar system. System 3 I Atlas no, I am not really.

[Glenn Beck]

Can you fill me in? I have not heard word one about this.

[Patton Oswalt]

According to Harvard scientist Avi Loeb, this very well may be a, an alien probe of some kind. And they're mapping very well, might very well might be. It's apparently speeding through or so at a like 134,000 miles an hour hour. And that's, I guess that's faster than a typical comet. And then there's some other characteristics that are happening. Like it's spewing CO2 and they can't really figure out why. So that might mean it's not natural. But I, I, I love it. I think we need to send a probe to this probe and figure out what the deal is because they had the, that, what was it called, Umua mua thing that came through a few years ago and Avi Loeb said The same thing about that. That was alien tech. And so, I mean, he's a fairly respected scientist at Harvard, and now he's wondering about alien technology coming through our. Through our solar system.

[Glenn Beck]

I've missed all of this.

[Patton Oswalt]

You've missed it.

[Glenn Beck]

I've missed all of this. I think I even missed Muamua.

[Patton Oswalt]

No, did you really.

[Glenn Beck]

Talked about other time? I don't remember. Oh, sorry.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow. Wow. Yeah. Well, that one was strange because it sped up and slowed down.

[Glenn Beck]

I kind of remember hearing that. Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

But my understanding is we did not have a visit from.

[Patton Oswalt]

No, we did not have.

[Glenn Beck]

From this particular craft.

[Patton Oswalt]

No. But what they're doing, Stu, is mapping the solar system and spying on us, doing a little intel. That's what I think we're doing.

[Glenn Beck]

We map solar systems all the time. We don't visit them to do it.

[Patton Oswalt]

We can't.

[Glenn Beck]

But this is the. What we're. You know, you're getting ready for an invasion. You really need to have the details.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes. And he does say he's given some advice to the world that maybe we should be prepared just in case one of these things does turn out to be alien tech.

[Glenn Beck]

That seems to be very difficult to do. Do.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah, I don't. I don't know how you would prepare. Because if they're this advanced that they can come to us, we certainly can't go to them. So if they're that far ahead of us, what are you gonna do? It's like an ant preparing for a human invasion. What are you gonna do?

[Glenn Beck]

The main thing I've learned to do comes from the documentary Mars Attacks, when if they come up and they say, we come in peace, don't believe. Believe them. Don't believe them. It usually means about to shoot you.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

That is unkind.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

Of them to tell you that they're coming in peace and then they're not. Just. That's wrong.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, the worst part about it is the hypocrisy, because they're saying, yes, it is. They come in peace, and then they.

[Patton Oswalt]

Are, and then they're not.

[Glenn Beck]

They are not coming in peace. It's not the human flesh. Some people would say that that's the worst thing. No, but the worst thing is the hypocrisy.

[Patton Oswalt]

How dare they? How dare they do this? Also, there were some rocks thrown at Harvey, Harvey, Javier Melee, and if this happened in America, this. I mean, you can't even throw a sandwich at an elected official.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I bet. Are you against that policy? Should you be able to throw sandwiches at Elected officials, but I don't know.

[Patton Oswalt]

The. You should be charged with assault and go to jail afterwards. And by the way, the guy who. I mean, he was fired. I thought that was very appropriate. The DOJ employee that threw a sandwich at an official, he. A grand jury was put together to indict him, and they chose not to.

[Glenn Beck]

Hold on. I'm learning something new about you. Are you. Are you. Do you believe you should be allowed to throw Subway sandwiches at police officers? Is that a stance that you have?

[Patton Oswalt]

No. Okay. No.

[Glenn Beck]

I just want to make sure somebody.

[Patton Oswalt]

With assault, I think, is going a little bit far.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, if it's salty. I mean, this. The meats at Subway, awfully salty, Pat.

[Patton Oswalt]

And admittedly, I hadn't considered that aspect.

[Glenn Beck]

But because I'm a little. Feels to me that if you throw a Subway sandwich at a police officer, something's going to happen. Like, I feel like probably, well, he got fired. He got fire. That's good. But that's not illegal.

[Patton Oswalt]

Maybe a fine. Maybe a fine.

[Glenn Beck]

That kind of sounds a hundred dollars. Yeah, but you didn't go to jail for a year, I think, as if it's, you know, if it's turkey and cheese. No, I think if you. I will say, if you've ever had.

[Patton Oswalt]

A Subway meatball, you enjoy eating it should be. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

A meatball sandwich. First of all, the sauce, probably. First of all, the sauce is already. If I remember Subway meatball sandwiches, right? It's already soaked completely into the bread. So it's just a mushroom mess of.

[Patton Oswalt]

Tomato, but delicious nonetheless.

[Glenn Beck]

Very heavy.

[Patton Oswalt]

Very heavy.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, those things are like £40.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

You could hurt somebody with a Subway meatball. If it's turkey and cheese, they don't want to put a lot of meat on it anyway.

[Patton Oswalt]

Is there, like, mustard, though, that could get on your clothes and stain it?

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I will say this. If you go to Subway and you ask them for anything that is in a sauce form, they are going to put 3 gallons of it on that sandwich. It's impossible to limit the amount of mayonnaise they put on a sandwich. If you say just a little bit, that means more mayonnaise than a town consumes in a year. That is the Subway guarantee. There are two things about Subway. This is something I've known, and my son finally solved this problem for me. He says, specifically, one line of mayonnaise.

[Patton Oswalt]

One line.

[Glenn Beck]

That's how you have to solve saying one line of mayonnaise. Now, unfortunately, some of them will still make the line go all the way up the sandwich Turn around, do a 180 with the line. Continue the line back across the sandwich.

[Patton Oswalt]

The same line. Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And they continue the line once more. And to me, that's three lines. But if you say one line of Mayday, one line of honey mustard, they may. May not drench your sandwich in sauce. The alternative is also true. If you ask for extra tomatoes, what you will get is one extra tomato slice, which will be the smallest tomato circle available in the bin. It will not be another layer of tomatoes, which I would be something that I would think you would do.

[Patton Oswalt]

You'd rather have more tomato than. Than sauce.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Patton Oswalt]

Than mayonnaise, for instance.

[Glenn Beck]

And the worst mistake you can make, steak pad, if you want extra tomatoes, is asking for extra tomatoes at the beginning, when they're making it. Because what they will do if you say extra tomatoes is go from, let's say, three tomato slices on a foot long to four.

[Patton Oswalt]

Okay. Now, and how many do you expect?

[Glenn Beck]

I want another layer. Oh, okay. That's what I want.

[Patton Oswalt]

So you want three more?

[Glenn Beck]

I want. If there's gonna be three, I want them to double. I want them to double it. I think that that's extra tomatoes. I think that's what extra tomatoes are.

[Patton Oswalt]

You have to pay extra for the extra tomatoes.

[Glenn Beck]

You do not.

[Patton Oswalt]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

But what you need to do, Pat, is wait for the first layer of tomatoes to be fully put on the. On the sandwich.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. Then you ask, actually, could I get extra tomatoes? And at that point, they can't just put one on. They're too embarrassed. They've got to put an extra layer on sometimes.

[Patton Oswalt]

Well, they've been put on the spot.

[Glenn Beck]

They've been put on the spot.

[Patton Oswalt]

They've been put on the. Caught. Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Because if you just Extra tomato. I don't know why. I don't know what the cost benefit of this is, but for whatever reason, their priorities are to defend tomatoes at all costs and to get all sauce out the door.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Whatever sauce you're trying to get out, they need. They do not want it in those squeeze bottles anymore. They've got to get it out of the restaurant. It's like they're. When they show up at work in the morning, they're like, we have way too much honey mustard sauce in the store restaurant right now. The restaurant will explode if we do not get this honey mustard out of the restaurant immediately. We demand every sandwich that requests honey mustard to be soaked in one vat full of honey mustard sauce.

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

So those are the two things now we've learned A lot about Subway sandwiches, but also.

[Patton Oswalt]

But then don't throw it at a police officer, Okay? I don't care how many tomatoes or how much extra sauces on it. Don't throw it. Don't throw it at an elected official or a police officer.

[Glenn Beck]

But you shouldn't be charged with assault.

[Patton Oswalt]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

If you do, you should be maybe fine, certainly fired. And you should not get a replacement sandwich. Those things we know.

[Patton Oswalt]

But here's what happened to Javier Melee the other day with the rock throwing. This is a little more serious, I believe, and. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

What'S happening?

[Patton Oswalt]

Wow. And for some reason, it caused them to speak gibberish. I don't know what the deal was there, but they were so upset, they started speaking gibberish.

[Glenn Beck]

I think that might have been a different language, Pat. Yeah, yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

That wasn't English.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, no, it wasn't just.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, no wonder. Yeah, yeah, no wonder.

[Glenn Beck]

Although it. I will say I got the sense of it because of the super dramatic music they used. Is that a news. That's how they cover news in Argentina, I think. Can we hear that again? Listen to that music again. This is like.

[Patton Oswalt]

And it's Ur. Dante. Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

This is like. Like I'm about to watch, like, Jason Stam.

[Patton Oswalt]

Like, that would have spiced it up a little bit.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Patton Oswalt]

If Jason Statham had been in. In that clip. But no, no, no.

[Glenn Beck]

So I. I mean, you can't really see what happens. Someone tries to hit him with a rock.

[Patton Oswalt]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that person in America. I mean, if you're gonna jail somebody for a sandwich rock, I mean, that's life in prison. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

By the way, I mean, look, you throw a rock at the president. Yes. You should spend some time in prison at them. And a very serious thing. You know, I think at times we lose context to these events, though. I think your sandwich pickup is an interesting one because I was very angry about that.

[Patton Oswalt]

Were you. Did you want him to be charged with assault?

[Glenn Beck]

It was such a funny video. It was hard to get angry the way he ran away. Maybe that's why, you know, it was also funny about that video is that he ran away at what I would describe as a moderate pace. I wouldn't say he was sprinting. You know, he was kind of just like, trotting joyfully through the streets and the police couldn't catch him for a while. I found that to be really interesting, but I wasn't. I mean, it was a legitimately funny video. And I. Don't. Again, don't do it. It's not funny. The act.

[Patton Oswalt]

Don't recommend it. It is not funny.

[Glenn Beck]

Since we know how it turned out. It was actually kind of funny, I got to say, to think we lose perspective on these things. I think a lot of this honestly happened during January 6th when people were doing something. There are people that did some really bad things on January 6th. A lot of that gets pushed aside largely because of how ridiculous the treatment of people who didn't do a response.

[Patton Oswalt]

To the insurrection nonsense.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. It was so overblown by the media.

[Patton Oswalt]

And they keep saying that six cops were killed and all that.

[Glenn Beck]

There's so much that was wrong about that. We did lose sight of some people who did really some bad things. I never am in favor. Sorry if you feel this way, never are in favor of someone hitting a police officer with a flagpole. It's actually really bad. And you should spend some time in prison, in my view, on that. And honestly, I think I've talked to people around here who disagree with this point, but I think we should have been a little more surgical with those who were completely rel of all charges in that incident. I think a lot of people deserved to be pardoned for what happened. There was a lot of nonsense that happened. There were some that I don't think needed to be completely relieved of all punishment in that particular situation. It's just my opinion, that being said, when there's a bar brawl and a bunch of people get punched, it's a crime. If God forbid, you hit a police officer, it's really a crime.

[Patton Oswalt]

Crime.

[Glenn Beck]

But we were trying to punish people as if they had done something much more serious than got in a fight or even got. Even assaulting a police officer, which is really serious to me, and the max punishment should be carried out. But we were acting like it was like someone who set off a nuclear bomb in a city. And at times you have to step back and say, well, what actually happened here? We know how it made you feel.

[Patton Oswalt]

And to my knowledge, nobody threw a sandwich. Nobody during January 6th. I don't know the whole day. I don't think there were sandwiches thrown.

[Glenn Beck]

I thought I saw a Jimmy John's incident at one point.

[Patton Oswalt]

Really?

[Glenn Beck]

It could be me.

[Patton Oswalt]

Oh, wow.

[Glenn Beck]

I thought it could be AI. Might have been AI that I saw.

[Patton Oswalt]

It was. And I haven't been through all 14,000 hours.

[Glenn Beck]

So now we should ask Steve, Steve Baker. Steve has gone through all the footage. He may have seen a blimpy be thrown at a police officer or heaven.

[Patton Oswalt]

Forbid, a subway with extra tomatoes. We don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, there Won't be extra tomatoes on that sandwich, Pat.

[Patton Oswalt]

There might be one. We can order it.

[Glenn Beck]

But there will only be one single.

[Patton Oswalt]

Tomato more coming up.

[Glenn Beck]

[Patton Oswalt]

History's got a warning label, and if we don't read it, we'll live it. Stay sharp, friends. Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

Deck returns in a jiffy.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn. Hopefully he'll be back tomorrow. 88727. Beck, you got some helpful, helpful advice on the subway thing?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Our listeners really helping us out today. One writes in how I've dealt with light mayo at Subway. I tell the sandwich artist at Subway, quote, imagine you have to by law put mayonnaise on a sandwich, but I am highly allergic to mayo. Put the amount of mayo on the bread that you think won't kill me.

[Patton Oswalt]

Seems like a helpful tip.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I like that. Or he has another suggestion as well. Quote, I want just enough mayo on the sandwich that I can see the bread through the mayo. I will say, yeah, those two, those are. That's excellent advice.

[Patton Oswalt]

It's advice you're not getting on any other program today. No, I can almost guarantee you.

[Glenn Beck]

I can't imagine Clay and Buck are gonna hit this today, so we'll have to ask them about it. I'm sure they have an opinion, but I don't know if it will lead the show, per se.

[Patton Oswalt]

This is Glenn, Becky, Sa.
