Main Discussion Themes & Key Segments

---

1. Iran Crisis: Who’s Really in Charge?

(00:54 – 15:45, 24:13 – 36:34, 87:00 – 105:57)

Key Points:

• Ongoing chaos: Ceasefires start and stop, the Strait of Hormuz constantly opening and closing.

  "There's a ceasefire. There's not a ceasefire. The strait of Hormuz is open. Now it's closed. Now it's open. Then it's closed." – Pat Gray (01:16)

• Uncertainty over Iranian leadership with speculation on whether Supreme Leader Moshtaba Khamenei is dead, incapacitated, or actually in control.

  "There's a lot of people that believe he's dead. Or if not dead, then in a coma and seriously, seriously wounded." – Pat Gray (07:49)

• The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)'s claim to total power and readiness to defy US pressure.
• Essence of American strategy: Hosts insist on total destruction of Iran’s military capabilities if Iran does not surrender and ensure open straits.

  “We need to put the hammer down, I think.” – Pat Gray (05:47)

• Dismal outlook on US credibility if Iran is not forced to surrender and the risk of repeating past mistakes.
• Iranian public powerless to retake their country while IRGC and militancy dominate.

Notable Quotes:

• "If they don't show up for whatever reason tomorrow... we have to let them know we're not kidding around." – Jeff Fisher (05:52)
• “Is there anybody worse than the Ayatollah? Maybe the IRGC?” – Pat Gray (07:15)

Expert Segment:
Jason Buttrell joins (87:00 – 100:36)

• Asserts IRGC is always the true power, with political leaders as window dressing.
• Describes Western media’s failure to report reality, emphasizing the unprecedented success of US military operations.
• Warns about European allies’ unreliability and dependence on US power.
• Discusses likelihood and ramifications of Trump pulling out of NATO or leveraging US commitments to extract further concessions internationally.
• Recognizes deep difficulties in regime change, given the IRGC’s ruthless grip on power and civilian vulnerability.

Memorable Moment:

• Joking speculation about Khamenei having lost limbs and an eye and a tongue-in-cheek debate about the “gay rumors”—satirizing Iran’s notorious anti-LGBT stance.

  "And it turns out he's gay. So that makes it even more funny, I guess, because there are no gays in Iran." – Pat Gray (08:33)

Timestamps:
00:54—First discussion of Iran
24:13—Continued Iran analysis
87:00—Buttrell’s expert breakdown
105:00—Reflections on Iranian civilians and regime change

2. American Leadership, Political Rhetoric & Social Division

(16:57 – 22:12, 43:33 – 56:03)

Key Points:

• Outrage at inflammatory rhetoric: Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and an Irish priest’s public wish for Trump’s death met with disgust.
• Contrasts public decorum, highlighting “double standards” for left vs. right in political violence and wishes of ill.
• Criticism of politicians “trashing America abroad”—specifically Senator Chris Murphy’s speech in Spain declaring the US in crisis due to Trump.

  "You don't bash America when you're overseas. You don't do that." – Pat Gray (21:08)

• Calls to censure or eject such politicians from office.

  “Borders on treason, frankly. It does to me—that borders on treason.” – Pat Gray (21:36)

Memorable Moments:

• Satirical back-and-forth about "taking away bathhouse privileges" as punishment—used to illustrate the unseriousness with which hosts view “leftist” outrage.
• Emphasis on the lack of national unity, symbolized by politicians publicly excoriating their own country on foreign soil.

---

3. Artemis Moon Program—A Rare Moment of Unity

(24:13 – 36:34, 117:07– 119:55)

Key Points:

• Praises for NASA and the Artemis crew after the successful splashdown, noting the program achieved 97% public approval—a near-miracle for American consensus.
• Discussion of space technology’s role in inspiring national pride and technological advances.
• Debates over the role of international partners like Canada, with playful jabs at the size of foreign flags at press events.
• Review of upcoming Artemis missions, and why it's “vital” the US beats China back to the lunar surface.
• Recognition of astronauts’ spiritual responses to seeing Earth from space.
• Brief tangent into Chinese robotic advances—a humanoid robot marathon runner is both “amazing” and “chilling.”

Notable Quotes:

• “97% of Americans support it because we're all looking to the skies, man.” – Jeff Fisher (27:48)
• "That Artemis video … you see the Earth setting behind the moon. It is pretty cool." – Pat Gray (29:00)

---

4. Domestic Policy & Economics

(10:25 – 15:45, 46:03 – 56:47, 101:52 – 104:38)

Key Points:

• Fuel prices and global oil market volatility linked to Middle Eastern events: Even though US gets little Iranian oil, disruption causes widespread price hikes.
  • Critique of ideal “happy medium” in pump prices to keep Texas/US economy strong, balancing corporate and consumer interests.
• SCOTUS rules in favor of oil companies, moving major suits from state to federal court—a “win” for consumers, according to hosts, since penalties get passed on at the pump.
• Marxist/socialist policies in New York City (Zaran Mamdani), decried as class warfare: “There shouldn’t be any billionaires,” free buses/groceries fail to materialize, history of failed public bus/grocery programs.
• Cynical recounting of how progressive promises consistently fall short in practice.

Notable Quotes:

• “You want the oil companies...to do well because then Texas does well, you know, it helps every business.” – Pat Gray (11:40)

---

5. Immigration, Anchor Babies & Omar’s Finances

(61:08 – 61:58, 63:00 – 64:01, 75:18 – 79:11, 99:03 – 100:36)

Key Points:

• Pramila Jayapal claims Trump’s real goal is ending all legal immigration, not just stopping illegal immigration. The hosts mock and dismiss this claim.
• Startling statistic: Anchor babies (US-born children of illegal immigrants) now make up nearly 10% of all births in the US—320,000 in 2023.
• Ilhan Omar's dramatic financial “error,” amending her declared wealth from $30 million to $18,000 due to an "accounting mistake"—hosts find this laughable and indicative of widespread political corruption.
• Critique of government agencies and politicians for dodging responsibility, always blaming errors on accountants.

Notable Quotes:

• "[Anchor babies] make up nearly 10%...that's 320,000...which is something we gotta get a grip on and haven't yet." – Pat Gray (64:01)
• “Does anybody believe that it was just some accounting error? Because I certainly don’t.” – Pat Gray (78:39)

---

6. Fat Five: News Bites & Culture

(65:58 – 73:55)

Stories touched on:

• Coachella festival—Justin Bieber, Madonna, and a minor controversy involving Sabrina Carpenter.
• Psychic Americans: 19% believe themselves psychic, but discussion turns to intuition versus actual psychic power.
• Major Ford recall: 1.4 million trucks for gearshift issue.
• Hollywood backlash over major studio merger—over 2,000 creatives oppose Paramount–Warner Bros. deal.
• United Airlines proposed (and possibly rebuffed) merger with American Airlines.

Notable Quotes:

• “Nothing is more blue collar than Hollywood, I think we can all agree on that.” – Pat Gray (73:04)

---

7. Space, Science & Tech Oddities

(38:08 – 41:18, 117:07 – 119:55)

Key Points:

• Scientists discover “unusual matter” inside Uranus and Neptune—complete with gleeful, juvenile banter.

  “Hot ice. Yeah. Right there deep in Uranus.” – Pat Gray (40:45)

• China’s rapid progress in humanoid robotics—robot marathon runners now beat humans, seen as both "amazing" and "frightening" advancement.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On International Alliances & Allies’ Reliability

• "Europe is our 35-year-old son that is living in the basement right now. It's so stupid.” —Jason Buttrell (98:20)

On Social Welfare Policy Failures

• "Every single one of them went out of business. Every one of them. Kansas City was one of the cities that had a free bus program, and it's out of business." – Pat Gray (52:09)

On Political Double Standards

• "We don't rejoice when people on the left die...it's gotten so bad on the left that not only are they reveling in people who die...but they're praying for the death of our president." —Pat Gray (19:02)

[Pat Gray]

Foreign.

[Jeff Fisher]

Pass it on.

[Pat Gray]

Crank the game.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, Today with Pat and Jeffy. Welcome.

[Jeff Fisher]

Excited to be here.

[Pat Gray]

Great to have you here. Thanks for joining us. 88727 Beck. If you'd like to get in touch with us. The course of the show looks like things are up and down again or still with Iran.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, the.

[Pat Gray]

There's a ceasefire. There's not a ceasefire. The straight of Horo is open. Now it's closed. Now it's open. Then it's closed. Now it's open. Now it's closed. Okay, so we got to do something about that right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're going to have peace talks then we're not going to have peace talks. Some people are going to be there. Now they're not. They're not going to be there.

[Pat Gray]

I think it's kind of important for Iran to physically be there. If we're going to go over to Pakistan, I'd like to see the Iranians there as well. Cuz if not, why are we there? That'd be a little embarrassing, frankly.

[Jeff Fisher]

And tomorrow is the last day of the ceasefire, right?

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

So is. Is it tomorrow at midnight? Is it tomorrow at 9am? Is it tomorrow at. I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

But we'll get into that and much more coming up in one minute.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let me ask you something. How many different places do you have to go right now just to understand your business insurance? And I don't mean to buy it, I mean to actually just understand it. Because for most people, business insurance is not one thing, it's a collection of things. Different policies, different documents, different people you have to call depending on what the question is. And when you actually need a straight answer, you don't always get one. That's the part that doesn't make sense. And it can be really frustrating when you're trying to get it right. Well, this new company I am a big fan of super sure they just fixed this. It's one agency, one team working with you year round, not just when it's time to renew. So you can actually see how everything fits together instead of trying to piece it together for yourself. And they even built a tool called the Fine Print Facts. They'll take all the legal language and translate it into real English so you know exactly what you have, what it covers and what it doesn't. Because you should know, you should never have to guess when something is right. When it's this important, go to super sure.com back that's super sure.com Beck paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency. Join the 750,000 plus people who have chose confidence over uncertainty and empowerment over uncertainty. More families are turning to burn up the world leader in a less lethal personal defense. Because being prepared changes absolutely everything. Proudly American and hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Designed to stop at a aggressor, not take a life and give Americans the confidence to live their lives freely. The Burna Compact is small enough to conceal carry, but powerful enough to help stop a threat from up to 60ft away. It fires kinetic tear gas and pepper rounds so it can disable an attacker for up to 40 minutes, giving you distance, time and the ability to take control of a dangerous situation without resorting to lethal force. There are no background checks, no permits legal in all 50 states and it's shipped right to your door. Trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies and families all across America. Burna gives you more than protection. It gives you confidence, control and the power to stand when it matters the most. Visit Burna.com or try before you buy at a local sportsman's warehouse.

[Pat Gray]

All right, it is Pat Gray. Jeff Fiser for Glenn today. He's back in tomorrow and I think he's. He's going to be here in the Dulles Fort Worth metroplex, actually. So that's fun. But yeah, I think the problem with what's going on in Iran right now is that the, the irgc, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has taken control. At least they claim they have. And it seems like they're being pretty rigid and militant and it makes sense that they're in control.

[Jeff Fisher]

It does, but I, I thought we had gotten rid of all their ships and all their.

[Pat Gray]

We did get rid of their ships and all their bombs and I don't know about the bombs. Apparently they're firing missiles. Yeah, ships that are traversing the. The straits.

[Jeff Fisher]

We have a few from the underground bunker that we didn't get. I don't.

[Pat Gray]

I don't. Yeah, no, probably quite a few. I. Yeah, I don't know. I know the president said what, 80% of their ability to, okay. Fire missiles.

[Jeff Fisher]

I thought we were up to 90, to be honest, but.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. It would be nice if we were at 100 and then we can just shut this.

[Jeff Fisher]

I will say if nothing happens by the tomorrow, we should.

[Pat Gray]

We need to make sure we're at a hundred percent.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. We need to put the hammer down. I think.

[Jeff Fisher]

I believe that.

[Pat Gray]

I believe that if they don't show up for whatever reason tomorrow.

[Jeff Fisher]

At least a day. At least. Because that we have to, we have to let them know we're not kidding around. And if we don't realize that, if

[Pat Gray]

we don't, we don't have any credibility.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right back to where we were before.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yep. So, yeah, I think it, it has to happen now. Unless they unequivocally surrender tomorrow and say, all right, we're not going to mess with the straight anymore and.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

We're not going to seek a nuclear weapon anymore. And then, you know, we can, we can part friends and do we?

[Jeff Fisher]

We can.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't think they will be very friendly to us, to be honest.

[Pat Gray]

You don't think we can kiss and make up?

[Jeff Fisher]

All right, I think maybe, Maybe for the cameras. Yeah, that'll be it. I mean, they're not the irgc. I don't think they're gonna like us forever.

[Pat Gray]

No, I don't. I don't think they are, but that's going to be a difficult transition. I think, you know, we killed, what, 46 or 47 of their leaders, and at least now who's left to take the reins? That's, I think, I think, the problem that we face. And so there were some moderate voices in there that were maybe communicating with the White House, and then the IRGC stepped in and said, nope, beat it. Yeah, we're in control.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. And, you know, I, I, that's the danger. Is there anybody worse than the Ayatollah? Maybe the irgc?

[Jeff Fisher]

Maybe.

[Pat Gray]

So I don't know. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out tomorrow. They specifically have said that they're in command and that they only do the bidding of the Supreme Leader, Moshtaba Khamenei, who supposedly ascended to replace his father, you know, after.

[Jeff Fisher]

We don't even know, actually, still alive.

[Pat Gray]

There's a lot of people that believe he's dead.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Or if not dead, then in a coma and seriously, seriously wounded.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. Because he was supposed to be in that other building, the second big bombing that we took place. Right. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And we heard initially that he was either in a coma or that he'd lost limbs.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right, Right.

[Pat Gray]

Or maybe both. Remember, he.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Lost a leg or something and one eye. And.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not funny.

[Pat Gray]

It's. It's not. So why are you laughing about it?

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know. I'm just starting from just picturing them there.

[Pat Gray]

Huh.

[Jeff Fisher]

With the peg leg.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Patch over the eye.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not funny at All.

[Pat Gray]

And it turns out he's gay. So that makes it even more funny, I guess, because there are no gays in Iran.

[Jeff Fisher]

So he can't be gay.

[Pat Gray]

So he can't be. Because there are.

[Jeff Fisher]

That report has to be wrong.

[Pat Gray]

So anyway. Well, I, I mean, would it be nice for them to come to an arrangement tomorrow and say, yeah, the strait of our moves is open and we're gonna leave it open.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

But I, I just don't see that happening at this point.

[Jeff Fisher]

And then we'll see in Pakistan. We'll work out some details so that you don't bo right into rubble and we'll. And then we're back to partying as friends and.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because they're making up.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Exactly. And then the price of oil goes back down.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

Which would be really nice for us. Yeah. And everything turns out really well.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, as they're saying that. I mean, last. End of last week, they were trying to make it seem like we were supposed to be happy if it goes below $3 a gallon.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Here in Texas, for those who may not know, elsewhere in the country, we were under $2 a gallon in some places before this all began.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure. Where we were. The producer on most places were right. Hovering that $2 a gallon mark.

[Pat Gray]

It wasn't much above 2, 2 bucks.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it was not.

[Pat Gray]

The Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. And our, my, one of my producers from Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can hear immediately before this on the Blaze radio and television network, had paid A$87 a gallon that was. I mean, those are like the old

[Jeff Fisher]

days with no coupon.

[Pat Gray]

He said, but that was just 87.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Well, now we're paying. I don't know. 339 was what I saw this morning

[Jeff Fisher]

driving in with a cootie. One Exxon station was still hanging in there at 389. I didn't see any cars at his station.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that's 50 cent a gallon difference. There shouldn't be any cars.

[Jeff Fisher]

You got to change389. Wow.

[Pat Gray]

How far up the road are they?

[Jeff Fisher]

That far. That's why no one was there.

[Pat Gray]

Sheesh. Wow. So if we have to go into Iran and do the things that the president has threatened and that's, you know, destroy their energy sector and their bridges, it's not going to help the price of oil.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it will not. It's not going to help them.

[Pat Gray]

Even though we don't get Iranian oil. We don't. I don't think we get a drop of Iranian.

[Jeff Fisher]

So it shouldn't Affect us.

[Pat Gray]

So it shouldn't, but it will because it's all connected. It's all connected in the fact that there's, you know, avail availability all over the world and then you got to redistribute it and it's a complicated mess.

[Jeff Fisher]

But it would cause for us to be charged more. Yes, is what it turns out to be.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I don't like it.

[Pat Gray]

I don't like it either, but they don't. They don't call me and ask me.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't think.

[Pat Gray]

I've never gotten a call from Chevron saying, pat, what do you think the price of oil should be today? Like, I don't know, 40 cents a barrel. I don't know, A dollar a barrel? I don't know. What do you need to get by? So, you know, it'd be nice if we could get to that happy medium because you want. You want the oil companies at least. I do. I want the oil companies to do well because then Texas does well, you know, it helps. It helps every business when oil is going okay for sure. But there's got to be that happy medium where they're doing okay and so are we, you know, and I, I don't know what that price at the pump is, but it's not less than now.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not three. I'll tell you that.

[Pat Gray]

It's not $3 a gallon. I know that.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it is not.

[Pat Gray]

So hopefully we'll be able to come to some sort of agreement. I. I mean, during.

[Jeff Fisher]

I can remember, I could remember sharing Pictures of gasoline. 120. You know, during COVID There was a. There was a time when it was really cheap.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, it was getting close to.

[Pat Gray]

Because nobody was. Nobody was driving around.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I mean, those days are long gone. Have a nice day.

[Pat Gray]

Long.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a long, cute little picture. Is it even real? No.

[Pat Gray]

Nope.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it is not.

[Pat Gray]

The Supreme Court just gave a unanimous ruling in favor of oil companies because they're going to move an oil and gas lawsuit out of Louisiana.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

It was a series of lawsuits seeking potentially billions of dollars from oil companies for environmental damage to Louisiana's coastal areas. And the court ruled eight to nothing that one of the lawsuits should be moved out of the state's courthouses and instead be considered in federal court, which is a more favorable venue for the oil companies. And that's probably more favorable for the American people if they're not paying billions of dollars to somebody in a lawsuit. A jury in one of the most conservative pro oil and gas communities in the country found that Chevron was liable for billions gallons of toxic waste dumped into the Louisiana marsh. The ruling included only eight of the nine justices because Sam Alito recused himself over his stock holdings in ConocoPhillips. Oh, wow. Interesting, huh?

[Jeff Fisher]

That is good for him, though.

[Pat Gray]

Yes, good for him. Exactly. It just shows he's got integrity, Right? Yeah. The companies argued that the case belongs in federal court based on their predecessors production of aviation fuel supply at the behest of the federal government during World two. All of the justices agreed with that argument. Eight to nothing with even the liberals on board. That's interesting, right, because you never see eight to nothing ver or rarely see unanimous verdicts in the U.S. supreme Court. And it overturned a 2024 decision from the U.S. circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana. The ruling will likely be consequential for other cases of parishes that are suing oil companies for environmental damages. Republican Louisiana Attorney General Liz Merrill, a plaintiff in the case, said she was confident they would win against the oil companies despite the setback.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, yeah, that's what she has to say.

[Pat Gray]

Pretty much.

[Jeff Fisher]

She's waiting on that paycheck.

[Pat Gray]

But I think, I think that's good news for us because, you know, usually they're going to pass those penalties along to us, the consumers.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're going to pass them along to us anyway. We're probably going to get that.

[Pat Gray]

Yes, for sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

Anyway. Oh, I sure we accidentally drop some toxic waste along the way on the way to the, the holding cell we just dropped off there.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, but don't worry about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

That'd be fine.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Jeff Fisher]

It'll be fine. And they, they said we owe, I don't know, 10 billion. Ah, we're gonna, it's. You know those gas prices you thought were gonna come down?

[Pat Gray]

They're not coming down. They're not. All right. Triple eight, 727 Beck. More in one minute.

[Pat Gray]

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn. Today, Florida Senator Rick Scott admonished Democrats for the vile rhetoric of left wing live streamer Hassan Piker, who suggested that Rick Scott needs to be killed. Oh, okay. Is that all? Don't worry about it. Yeah. What, what do you mean, though? The rhetoric should be tamp down a bit. What do you mean? We're getting along fine.

[Jeff Fisher]

Fine. You just want to be dead. We got, we got priests in other countries asking for the death of the president. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, my gosh. We got. Since you brought that up, let's just, let's just play that for a second. There was this priest in Ireland who's, I guess, sort of praying.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

At the time.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Cut 36.

[Pat Gray]

And. Yeah, it's cut 36.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that war has taken place, which is absolutely outrageous. War is outrageous. We pray for peace.

[Pat Gray]

We pray for peace. We pray for Donald Trump, that the Lord will take him. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

You're praying that the Lord will kill Donald Trump. Essentially.

[Jeff Fisher]

Huh.

[Pat Gray]

And then the congregation laughs. That's great. Our priest is in a prayer that the President of the United States would be murdered.

[Jeff Fisher]

Father, you're funny.

[Pat Gray]

That's great. Isn't that wonderful?

[Jeff Fisher]

That's hilarious.

[Pat Gray]

That is some righteousness right there. And that is a spirituality, if you will.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

I, you know, that kind of rhetoric. I don't, I don't know how they get away with it because we certainly wouldn't.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

We wouldn't get away with that. If we're. You're calling for the death of Joe Biden or Barack Obama or whomever. And we wouldn't do that. You know, we would never do that. Never have, never will do that. We don't rejoice when people on the left die.

[Jason Buttrell]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

And it's happened multiple times. And we don't revel in it. It's gotten so bad on the left that not only are they reveling in people who die, you know, like Charlie, Charlie Kirk, for example, but they're praying for the death of our president. That's Some funny stuff, father.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah. Play for peace.

[Pat Gray]

And then we've got Chris Murphy, senator from Connecticut, who is trashing Donald Trump and America.

[Jeff Fisher]

This on foreign soil makes me so angry. Oh, I could not tell you. It's bad enough that if he were to do this here.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, all right.

[Jeff Fisher]

In the United States.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

But to be on foreign soil.

[Pat Gray]

Unconscionable.

[Jeff Fisher]

I said it's unacceptable.

[Pat Gray]

Cut 37, want to bring you greetings as well from a nation that is in crisis.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm not going to sugarcoat the gravity

[Pat Gray]

of what we face right now in the United States. This is the most significant threat to American democracy since the civil war. Oh, my gosh. Donald Trump in our country is trying to end our democracy. We don't have a democracy, so we are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover.

[Jeff Fisher]

We are in the middle of it.

[Pat Gray]

He is trying to seize control of our courts, of our law enforcement, of our media, of our election. Unbelievable. His goal is oligarchic. Oligarchic capture.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oligarchic capture. So this was at the global progressive mobilization in Spain.

[Pat Gray]

Spain.

[Jeff Fisher]

Forward together now.

[Pat Gray]

Forward together now. They don't speak English that good.

[Jeff Fisher]

Forward together now.

[Pat Gray]

Forward together now. Oh, okay. Is that Yoda? Forward together now. Yes, yes. Forward together we go. Unbelievable. I. It's again, incredible. It's bad enough if you would have said that on u. S. Soil.

[Jeff Fisher]

And of course he does. He doesn't say it over here all

[Pat Gray]

the time, but that is basically an unwritten rule that especially our politicians, people in the Senate, the House, if you go overseas and are giving some speech, you don't bash America when you're overseas. You don't do that.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, that's your contact, your mother country.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's your homeland.

[Pat Gray]

It's despicable.

[Jeff Fisher]

Bashing the. The president, the leader of your country. I. Absolutely. It's worse than despicable. And he should be kicked.

[Pat Gray]

Borders on treason. Frank. It does to me that. Borders on treason.

[Jeff Fisher]

Kicked out of the senate for sure.

[Pat Gray]

He's not gonna be. He's going to be hailed as a hero on the left. But yeah, I wouldn't mind.

[Jeff Fisher]

Revoke all the bathhouse privileges. All of it. Gone.

[Pat Gray]

No, you don't want to take away his bath house. Really? Oh, that's severe.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yep.

[Pat Gray]

That's severe.

[Jeff Fisher]

No more. No more.

[Pat Gray]

Wow. I mean, I know it's bad, but kind of now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Nope. I don't even want. I don't want to go to the bath house. Nothing.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, man. But that's where we are right now. We're in that kind of situation where we're that divided. Where they feel free to go overseas and bash America there. 888727 BECK More coming up.

You and your family deserve the truth. Get it from Glenn free@glenn beck.com.

[Pat Gray]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. He's. He's back tomorrow. This is kind of interesting because 97% of Americans don't agree on anything. Have you. I have never seen 7. I've never seen a statistic where 97 of Americans supported a certain event.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. I mean a certain program. Save America act which looks like it's probably.

[Pat Gray]

That's about 84.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's about 5% do that right now.

[Pat Gray]

Right. That's. That got hit by a train.

[Jeff Fisher]

84. I mean that was in the 80s. It was not 90s.

[Pat Gray]

Right. 97 approval for the Artemis program despite the $90 billion price.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's because it went off without a hitch.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Everything happened perfectly.

[Pat Gray]

It sure did.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And it I think it renewed Americans. It absolutely sense of awe in the space program.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean we've become bored with it. Right. SpaceX.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Has I watched a video of a blue origin Jeff Bezos company return his rocket to a ship and I was

[Pat Gray]

like been there, done that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Glad to see your company's catching up, Jeff.

[Pat Gray]

And they are. But. They are.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. They are. Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

And I Noticed that the lunar lander is going to be either SpaceX or Blue Origin. That hasn't been decided yet.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. Right, because they're go, they're working. That's why Blue Origin is so focused on taking care of this. That's why he stopped his fun rides shooting into space.

[Pat Gray]

He wants that contract and he wants it bad. Yeah, I'm rooting for Elon in that actually, because the guy's a patriot. I mean, look what he did last year and he got nothing but grief for it. Just tried to cut fat out of the U. S. Budget.

[Jeff Fisher]

Jeff only founded his company that changed the world here in the United States, that's all.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that's true. That is true.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't worry about that though.

[Pat Gray]

But he didn't put it on the line for America.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, he did not do that.

[Pat Gray]

Don't bother me with your Amazon thing. And you think back to the very beginnings of Amazon and what that was. I don't like to, I mean, get a CD or a DVD in the mail and then mail it back.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, that was Netflix.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, Amazon.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, you can buy a.

[Pat Gray]

When Amazon started that book from us. Yeah, Right, right. And then they got in, they dabbled in the DVD thing and then they exploded.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And took over everything.

[Jeff Fisher]

I could get a t shirt.

[Pat Gray]

So NASA's Artemis crew had near universal public support as the Orion capsule splashed down off the coast of San Diego last week. Even in the face of the 90 billion dollar cost, I think it's worth it to double that price or triple that price. I, the space, the space program is worth just about whatever it takes in my opinion. Because look at all of the technology that came from the Apollo project. I mean we, we've been living off

[Jeff Fisher]

that for a long time.

[Pat Gray]

Been living off that for decades.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And so the same thing can happen now. And it unites us. Look at how it's united us.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

97 of Americans support it because we're

[Jeff Fisher]

all looking to the skies, man. There was that, that.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

We talked about it before it took off, but it, that had to go off without a hitch. And I know Isaac Isaacman did everything he could and it worked. He kicked him in the pants when he took over and told him we're going to get this thing going and we're going to take it off because it needed to happen. And this is why 97% of the people.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

I haven't even, I hadn't seen that poll. That's incredible.

[Pat Gray]

It's amazing to me. But it went so well that it's not super surprising, except that's pretty universal support. That's pretty amazing.

[Jeff Fisher]

And we love the astronauts. Yeah, it's a new breed of astronauts.

[Pat Gray]

They're touchy feely astronauts. They're not like, cocky. We're better than you.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're better than you. We're astronauts. No, these astronauts are talking about Jesus. But I love feeling.

[Pat Gray]

I loved the Apollo astronauts and. And pretty much all astronauts come away with that spirituality. You know, anytime they go up in space and they see Earth the way it is from space, it touches them, it moves them, it changes them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Reed just released. I'm sorry, Astronaut Wiseman just released a video that he took with his iPhone.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. This is cool.

[Jeff Fisher]

This is incredible.

[Pat Gray]

This is cut 35

[Jeff Fisher]

takes the 8 time zoom.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. So if you're just listening to this on the radio. Yeah, you need to search this out because there's not a lot of audio here. But you see the Earth setting behind the moon. It is pretty cool.

[Jeff Fisher]

Spectacular. That is everything.

[Pat Gray]

Amazing.

[Jeff Fisher]

The planets are moving, the spaceship is moving. And you're watching the Earth.

[Pat Gray]

You're watching the Earth set behind the moon because they're on the far side. Oh, that is really, really. You only get a little teeny sliver of it now. It's gonna be gone any second now.

[Jeff Fisher]

What the sun looks like when you're on the Gulf of Mexico.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Goes down. But look at that, watching the sunset.

[Pat Gray]

That is pretty cool.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow. I know.

[Pat Gray]

Pretty cool.

[Jeff Fisher]

Now if you believe it's real. But that's cool. It's really cool. I guess it's cool no matter what.

[Pat Gray]

If you believe it's.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Well, you know, I'm just saying there

[Pat Gray]

were plenty of people who didn't believe even the Artemis.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's for sure. For sure.

[Pat Gray]

So ridiculous. But where do we go from here with Artemis? Because it started with an uncrewed test flight that successfully orbited the moon with nobody in it. No, it wasn't manned at the time. That was in back in 2022. And then so it orbited the moon, came back to the Earth. Then Artemis 2 was what we just saw. Artemis 3 is a planned mission to test the docking with either SpaceX or Blue Origin lunar landers in Earth orbit ahead of the lunar landing.

[Jeff Fisher]

I want to see if it will work.

[Pat Gray]

So they expect that to happen next year, sometime next year, I think in the summer of next year. So that has to work because that docking is critical to the mission. And then Artemis 4 is the one that will deliver astronauts to the moon's surface, targeting the lunar South Pole. This says expected 2028 or 2029. Don't you dare push it off to 2029. It's got to happen in 28.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't think they will. I think that's what Jared is, is there for, to kick him in the pants.

[Pat Gray]

And I think he said toward the end of the Artemis 2 that Artemis 4 would happen in early 2028.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. He's, he's kicking him in the pants.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, he's trying to make that happen.

[Jeff Fisher]

And maybe that's good. I mean he's coming in and looking at it from a non governmental role because we've had other government officials in charge of NASA for a long time and they've been great. And in fact one, the last one was an astronaut, right. I mean Bill Nelson from Florida who was, you know, nightmare Democrat. But he's a Florida boy and he's an astronaut and he was running NASA and. But that's a government official.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Still used to the government red tape bookwork. Take forever to do things and Jared's come in and kind of been like, let's go.

[Pat Gray]

Well, because we want to beat the Chinese there back to the moon. I mean we've already beaten everybody to the moon.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I mean the moon's out in 1969 through 72. The moon is ours. And that's, that's a proven fact.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hello.

[Pat Gray]

There's just no disputing that.

[Jeff Fisher]

The moon. We've got Greenland. We'll have Cuba soon.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

We've got Venezuela.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Canada. I mean that's all.

[Pat Gray]

So yeah. The moon though has to be reclaimed by us. We have to reclaim it.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's ours.

[Pat Gray]

Because they're, the Chinese are planning a mission in 2030, sometime between 2030 and 2032. So we got to win that race.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that's cute because they've got the space station.

[Pat Gray]

It's adorable. Cute little video.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's adorable.

[Pat Gray]

Really.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's nice. And then there's a follow UP mission, Artemis 5, which is aimed at expanding lunar exploration capabilities. So we established the base with Artemis 4 and then we beef it up with Artemis 5. 2029-2030.

[Jeff Fisher]

Nice.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, so, but the, so that's all happening pretty fast.

[Jeff Fisher]

The five we go there and tip it over and start living.

[Pat Gray]

I think four tips it over.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

And then five, four we tip over,

[Jeff Fisher]

we build a couple of, build a couple of buildings, we take care of a couple things and then that's when the moon, no matter who says what, is officially ours.

[Pat Gray]

It's Official? Yeah, yeah, I think so.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. We got a base there and it's ours now.

[Pat Gray]

We're saying that, but NASA is not saying that. NASA is saying this is humanity's effort. Is it?

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, that needs to be zipped quickly.

[Pat Gray]

It does.

[Jeff Fisher]

That needs to be zipped quickly. Yeah, we know. It's humanity. In fact, the only thing that I didn't like a lot about this Artemis,

[Pat Gray]

the whole Canadian thing was the Canadian thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

I was. Every time we do a press conference, there's that damn Canadian flag. And it just. It should not have been the I'm. Okay, look, this year's one of four, right? So it puts a little.

[Pat Gray]

Put a little clover leaf or whatever

[Jeff Fisher]

it is a little, little Canadian flag there. Yeah, Maple, clover, Clover, whatever, kind of whatever.

[Pat Gray]

It's adorable. But it make it a lot small.

[Jeff Fisher]

Not deserve to be as large as the United States flag.

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

Man, did that make me mad. Yeah, that was just. Every time they. They show a shot of them all together, all lovey dovey with those two flags, I just want to rip it down.

[Pat Gray]

And they were lovey dovey.

[Jeff Fisher]

They were.

[Pat Gray]

And even at the press conference afterward, they had the Canadian space program person come up and do a little speech and it. I mean, it's what they're trying to do is nice. They're trying to include all of humanity.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

But it's not. It's an American effort. Okay, Right, right. Thank you. Your cute little for humanity thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

All you want go do that with China.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

But you can't because you belong to us. So you're gonna get a quarter size flag and be happy about it. That's just the way it's gonna be.

[Pat Gray]

Or we might not even. If you start complaining about that, you won't even get that. How about that?

[Jeff Fisher]

Take the whole thing away.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

If I have to turn this thing around, I'll tell you what, don't make us do it off of here.

[Pat Gray]

Don't make us do it because there's an ejection seat in here and you're sitting.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't want to do it here because, you know, they might not make it back through the. Back through everything.

[Pat Gray]

It'd be a real shame if we had to eject you out of this flight. Yeah, but so next time, I don't know. For Artemis 4. Are they planning to have international astronauts on that flight as well?

[Jeff Fisher]

Probably.

[Pat Gray]

I bet they are. I bet they are. I don't know if it's Canada, probably somebody from Europe.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah. But you've got all they all have their space agencies and some Frenchie frog

[Pat Gray]

or something is going to be on

[Jeff Fisher]

the flight with us after this Iranian thing. I don't know though. Oh yeah, anything. Trump might pull the plug on any of the European people being part of anything. No, you know what? No, you know what?

[Pat Gray]

No, you know what? We just. No room. Yeah, there's just no room.

[Jeff Fisher]

But we can't.

[Pat Gray]

Thought we had a space, but we don't. We're all out of room.

[Jeff Fisher]

Isn't that right Jared? Yeah, that's right. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

All right. More coming up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Most of us just want to work hard, raise a family and live in peace. That's not political, that's human. Glenn Beck will be right back.

[Pat Gray]

Hello, it's Pat Jeffy for Glenn today. He'll be back tomorrow. Since we're talking about space with the Artemis program, this is kind of exciting because scientists have discovered something unusual hidden deep inside Uranus. Four Are we four? That's all I care about. I don't care what this story says. I just wanted to read the headline

[Jeff Fisher]

out loud to myself at 3:30am this morning when I read that headline, I never. I didn't even click on the story.

[Pat Gray]

Scientists discover something unusual hidden deep inside Uranus.

[Jeff Fisher]

Every kid across America is laughing at that right now. Hey, I hear they found something deep inside Uranus. Yeah,

[Pat Gray]

so?

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean it's not even a planet anymore.

[Pat Gray]

Although I believe it still is. I know it. But it's not only Uranus, it's also Neptune. Oh, wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, see, that's.

[Pat Gray]

That's something.

[Jeff Fisher]

You clicked out the story on this story.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I did.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

But it's a previously unknown form of matter, which is kind of cool.

[Jeff Fisher]

Apparently known form of matter.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Ooh. Their interiors likely contain layers of unusual hot ice. Huh. Okay. That's weird.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, really weird.

[Pat Gray]

These layers sit between the outer hydrogen and helium atmospheres and the inner rocky cores. Scientists believe they're made up of water, methane, and ammonia. But under such extreme conditions, they may take on unfamiliar forms. So they examined condition conditions. Most of this is done through modeling because we don't.

[Jeff Fisher]

We don't really know.

[Pat Gray]

We don't know or you've never been to. I mean, we've been close to Uranus and Neptune.

[Jeff Fisher]

Are you laughing?

[Pat Gray]

But I'm talking about.

[Jeff Fisher]

Talking about space.

[Pat Gray]

Right? We're talking about a planet.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

A big gaseous planet called Uranus. They examined conditions ranging from about 5 million to 30 million times Earth's atmospheric pressure. Okay, so. And the temperatures were about 12,000 to 18, 600 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Okay, so about 18, 000 degrees Fahrenheit.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's where you get hot ice.

[Pat Gray]

That's where you get hot ice. Yeah. Right there deep in Uranus.

[Jeff Fisher]

Are you willing to sacrifice your love?

[Pat Gray]

No, I'm not.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, you never take.

[Pat Gray]

No. So interesting, though, it's kind of cool that they discovered this. It's something that we didn't know about.

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Pat Gray]

Especially not deep inside Uranus.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you. Right, Right.

[Pat Gray]

Very strange. We didn't know to find it there. What are you even looking.

[Jeff Fisher]

Looking for a hot ice.

[Pat Gray]

Stupid again. We're like four years old. It's just. It's embarrassing. More coming up.

[Commercial Announcer]

I don't think I have to work real hard to convince you that things are a little unstable right now. You see it in the headlines, you hear it in the way people talk. There is this undercurrent of uncertainty about what is happening overseas, what could happen here, what comes next. And if history has taught us anything, it's this. By the time people realize they need to prepare, it's too late. The shelves are empty, the options are gone, and everybody's trying to solve the same problem at the same time. This is why ammo squared works. They take that whole reactive cycle out of the equation by helping you build your ammunition supply automatically, month after month. So you're not scrambling when everybody Else is no panic, no rush, just steady, reliable way to stay prepared.

[Pat Gray]

You're not alone.

[Jeff Fisher]

Pass it on.

[Pat Gray]

Crank the game Back is on. Glam.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. He will be back tomorrow. Zoran Mandani and Barack Obama. Two guys with really funny names and

[Jeff Fisher]

two guys that just love America.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, they love America so much.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, one's a former president and one's actually the mayor of our largest city.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. And they got together, which is great because remember when Barack used to always talk about his funny name that people do, they relate to this. I got a funny name. Yeah. You're the President of the United States. I don't think anybody cares about that.

[Jeff Fisher]

They don't? No, they don't. Nobody gives a single thought to it.

[Pat Gray]

Nope. Anyway, we'll get into what he had to say and what they did together because it's beautiful. It's. It's really beautiful. Coming up in one minute. You know, there's a difference between making progress and just staying busy. And when it comes to your finances, that difference can be hard to see because you're making payments, you're doing what you're supposed to do, and on paper, it looks like everything is moving in the right direction. But then you step back and realize you're not really getting ahead. The balances are still there, the interest is still adding up, and a lot of your money is going toward keeping things where they are instead of moving them forward. That's where American Financing can help you change the structure of things. If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can be used to pay off high interest debt, consolidate payments, and create more room in your monthly budget. So your money is actually working for you. And the best part is you're not guessing your way through it. You're talking to salary based mortgage consultants who can walk you through your options and help you see a clear path forward. There are no upfront fees.

[Pat Gray]

So Barack Obama and Zaran Mamdani, two American loving politicians.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're sitting in a tree.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, wait, not in a tree, but they were sitting in a classroom, which was beautiful. And mom, Donnie is going through a little problem in New York because he's not being able to deliver on his promises right now. Huh. And I think there are some people who are a little upset with him because he promised them free groceries essentially. At least they thought that's what he was promising. Free groceries, free rent. I mean, the guy was going to take care of everything that was wrong in their lives.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's still kind of riding high though. I mean, he's still, it's still.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know, I know. But he hasn't sunk in yet that the stuff that he said was going to be free isn't going to be free.

[Pat Gray]

Right. The, the bus thing, the free bus situation is just gone.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's just. He already said, yeah, it's.

[Pat Gray]

Can't do it this year.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wish I could.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I want to do it.

[Jeff Fisher]

I want to. It's those damn billionaires though, right? That's what's holding me back.

[Pat Gray]

Well, there shouldn't be any.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Pat Gray]

There shouldn't be any.

[Jeff Fisher]

I told you that during the campaign. There shouldn't be any.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, and he did tell us.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't believe there should be any. And he's on tax day. He went out and pointed out billionaires apartments and said, you know, I'm going to tax, tax them all.

[Pat Gray]

So wrong. This, this class warfare situation that he is ramping up in New York City is just so wrong. He actually pointed to some penthouses outside the building.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, outside the building. Hey, I forget who it was now. Shoot. Because I was so angry about what he was doing. I forget.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Who he's pointing out. But he's pointing out who lives in

[Pat Gray]

this specific person who lives in a specific penthouse. And he pointed out their house. That can't cause any problems for that person. I'm thinking, no, that'll be great when he shows up in town again.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, that's why we're taxing him, because he doesn't.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Because he doesn't live here full time.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's just a second or third or fourth home.

[Pat Gray]

That bastard. How dare. You know, how dare you have multiple homes.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's why there shouldn't be any of you.

[Pat Gray]

That's right. And that's what he tells us here. Cut 38. You are a self described democratic socialist. Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist? I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly, it is so much

[Jason Buttrell]

money in a moment of such inequality

[Jeff Fisher]

and ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country.

[Pat Gray]

And I look forward to work with

[Jason Buttrell]

everyone, including billionaires, to make a city

[Pat Gray]

that is fairer for all of them. Well, let me ask you, I work

[Jeff Fisher]

with these billionaires that I say shouldn't exist.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they can't wait to work with him now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely. Here. Are you gonna find ways to make me not be a billionaire? Let me help.

[Pat Gray]

Right, right. Let me help you make me extinct. That would be great. I'd love to go right out of existence. That would be wonderful. I, who's gonna help him? I don't know what capitalist is gonna say, yeah, I wanna, I wanna help you make this into a socialist Marxist society.

[Jeff Fisher]

I, maybe they don't believe that he will and they can help make the city just because they love the city and it's New York. That's kind of the Donald Trump thing, right? Yeah, New York. Yeah, but I don't know. I.

[Pat Gray]

So where do you put the cap on how successful a person can be? Where is that cap? Tell me what's fair. Should they, should there not be millionaires either? Should there not be a hundred thousandaires,

[Jeff Fisher]

say, well, let's get rid of the billionaires first.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, we can, let's do that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't start.

[Pat Gray]

How do you do that?

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm not going to worry about the millionaires.

[Pat Gray]

How do you do that, by the way? How do you get rid of the Elon Musk's and Jeff Bezos's who have come up with companies that are so successful? What do you do? What do you do? You put a cap on it and I guess you say everything over this amount goes to charity and you force that through the government.

[Jeff Fisher]

The charity is the government. What are you talking about?

[Pat Gray]

The charity is. It would be, it would have to be.

[Jeff Fisher]

The government is the government.

[Pat Gray]

And nobody does charity better than the US Government. Am I right?

[Jeff Fisher]

That's clear.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, we've heard about some of the expenditures that the US government does for charity and it's pretty impressive from what I understand.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is.

[Pat Gray]

Now you can't hear it though, because

[Jeff Fisher]

that's how impressive it is.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that's how Impressive. It is. Yeah, I know. I got it. Thank you. Yeah. I can't hear it. Yeah, I know, I know. But the, you said money, the USAID money was going to such great causes as what was it, a dance program for transgendered people in Zimbabwe or something? I mean, I, I guess that's what the government would be doing with your money.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure.

[Pat Gray]

And it certainly wouldn't be going to anywhere you would want it.

[Jeff Fisher]

New York, it's going to help, you know, get to those free groceries from those state run grocery stores.

[Pat Gray]

And they paid $30 million for one. Now they've got a budget. He put a, he put aside a budget of 70 million for five and one of these grocery stores is costing him $30 million. And it's not even open yet and won't be if a couple years until 2029.

[Jeff Fisher]

This is incredible. I don't know how, I mean, I guess I can't figure out how to open a grocery store. You could ask, I don't know, the grocery business.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Figure out how to do that. Maybe opened a few of them in less time.

[Pat Gray]

That might be why cities don't usually run grocery stores because they're not very good at it. And do you remember when we, we stumbled on this a while ago where there were bus programs and, and there were grocery store programs in certain cities in America and, and every single one of them went out of business. Every one of them. Kansas City was one of the cities that had a free bus program and it's out of business. And I think Portland did it.

[Jeff Fisher]

There was a bunch of cities, all the cities that we looked into, they went out of business. But there was also, there was, I think one city in Arizona or New Mexico that obviously if you're listening and you're saying we have free busing, you would know.

[Pat Gray]

But they call us at 888, let us know because we've got a successful program running in your city.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'd let us know you're doing it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because I don't think you're actually doing it. I don't think it's successful.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think so either.

[Jeff Fisher]

Success. We've got beautiful rail lines that I see every morning driving into work here at the palatial Texas Mercury Studio complex.

[Pat Gray]

And nobody's ever on them.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know that I've ever seen more than one person on that thing.

[Pat Gray]

On the Dart Pro. Yeah. On the dark, I know there's other,

[Jeff Fisher]

there's spaces, areas where it travels that more people ride on it. But for the Most part I don't see around here.

[Pat Gray]

Going through Irving, Texas.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Almost never see anybody on it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Anyone on it.

[Pat Gray]

And yes, we're looking at it pretty early when we drive into work.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, even when we're leaving. Yeah. In the afternoons. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And when the train goes by, it's like. Like, did you see anybody on that thing?

[Jeff Fisher]

On top of which.

[Pat Gray]

Nope.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's an actual huge stop where I drive by every day. And you drive by the same area, so there would be people there?

[Pat Gray]

Oh, yeah. At the bus stop, the train station to stop.

[Jeff Fisher]

There is no one there.

[Pat Gray]

Nobody there ever. You know what? I have never seen anybody there. Not once have you ever seen anybody.

[Jeff Fisher]

The main. Across the street, the main bus station that used to be the bus stop, they've taken that over and they're building a new fire station. It's not even going to be the bus stop. I mean, I guess maybe after a nice fire station. After the firestick. Darn nice one.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's big station number eight.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really nice. But if maybe after the fire station is open, maybe it still could have a bus or two come in and around. But I don't. I don't know. I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

Maybe I don't either. But these Marxists are getting together and planning our future for us in the city, and I. I love it, because there's nobody better to plan your future than Marxists, is there? Oh. I mean, what could go wrong with Marxist planning your future? And they're. They're reading to kids, which is really fun because that's who I want my kids to be looking up to. These two. Zaran Momdani and Barack Obama.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, whatever school. I don't know what school they went to, this public school of New York, but, you know, it's got to be in the heart of Mandami land.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, yeah, Check this out. Cut 14. We're fine. Alone and together we are at our best. Who wants to be at their best?

[Jeff Fisher]

Sit there.

[Pat Gray]

Be quiet. Alone and together we are at our best. Did he read that right?

[Jeff Fisher]

Wait, what?

[Pat Gray]

What'd you just say? Wait, what? Alone, together we are at our best. So no matter what, we're just at our best.

[Jeff Fisher]

Always.

[Pat Gray]

Always. I. I think he. I think he misread that because I'm guessing it's togetherness, because they are. They're collectivists, you know, so you can't. You can't do well on an individual basis. Forward together now. Right, exactly Right. So then they. They started singing with the kids, which was beautiful.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah. The Wheel.

[Pat Gray]

But not for free.

[Jeff Fisher]

But not for free.

[Pat Gray]

Free.

[Jeff Fisher]

Not for free.

[Pat Gray]

Like I told you they were going to be.

[Jeff Fisher]

We fooled your parents. We were gonna be free stuff.

[Pat Gray]

We tricked them. They believed another Marxist. Can you believe it? Then Barack had a message for Virginia. Redistricting. Hey, Virginia. Early voting is underway, and Virginians are turning out in record numbers to vote yes. No.

[Jason Buttrell]

By voting yes, you have a chance

[Pat Gray]

to do something important not just for the commonwealth, but for our entire country. By voting yes, you can push back against the Republicans trying to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms by voting yes. Wait a minute. Who's redistricting to level the playing field? My gosh. And we're counting on you. Early voting is happening right now. Election day is on April 21st. So go to iwillvote.com va to find your closest polling location. Don't do it. Make a plan. Show up and vote yes, Virginia. And you know, if Barack Obama wants you to vote yes, you must vote no.

[Jeff Fisher]

He thinks he did that so well.

[Pat Gray]

And he's so terrible.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, so terrible.

[Pat Gray]

Obviously, Democrats are trying to redistrict. Is that what's going on in Virginia?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Wow. But it's the Republicans that are trying to pull a fast one.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's great. Boy. This. Now, this would not have happened if Jim Gilmore was still governor, I'll tell you that. Or. Or actually made it to the presidency. Tell you that.

[Pat Gray]

So your support for Jim Gilmore, even though he dropped out of the race, what, 14 years ago, your support for him, former governor continues to go strong.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's been downhill ever since.

[Pat Gray]

Actually, Youngkin was pretty good. Yeah, Virginia, he did a pretty good job.

[Jeff Fisher]

He did, just not as good.

[Pat Gray]

But he's gone now. Not. I mean, he's out of office. He's still alive. All right. Triple eight, seven, two, seven back. More coming up.

[Pat Gray]

All right, we were looking for the. I think we have 25 video where Barack and Zoran.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Are walking into the classroom together. And this is interesting because the kids have. Have no idea who Obama is.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, not no idea.

[Pat Gray]

But you keep in mind they weren't born when he was president. They weren't born yet. So it's kind of, it's kind of fun.

[Jeff Fisher]

They know. They know my name.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they do. Cut 25.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, he's so mad. Who is he?

[Pat Gray]

And then he starts to play along with it like, yeah, who is it? I know your name. You know my name? Yeah, I know your name. They don't know. The former President of the United States. Isn't that amazing?

[Jeff Fisher]

He is so.

[Pat Gray]

He's seething inside.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh my gosh, he's so angry.

[Pat Gray]

That's great, Great stuff.

[Jeff Fisher]

Even my damni. He's the former president.

[Pat Gray]

I don't care. So they're like, who's this old guy? I don't, I've never seen him before. I don't know who that is. But they know the new Marxist.

[Jeff Fisher]

They sure do.

[Pat Gray]

Which is great.

[Jeff Fisher]

They sure do. Their parents are watching his tick tocks.

[Pat Gray]

That's terrific.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

Jeez.

[Jeff Fisher]

Good. That's good. That's good. That's good for America.

[Pat Gray]

Then. Speaking of Marxists, we got Pramila Jayapal. Oh, on Trump's real goal, this might surprise you. I bet you didn't know this was his real goal, but she's going to clue you in here. Donald Trump ran on a false promise that he would get rid of the, quote, worst of the worst. But instead, his administration has been moving forward their real goal, ending all legal immigration to this country. Oh, just a few days ago, the conservative Cato Institute published a report showing that Trump has cut legal immigration by two and a half times as much as undocumented immigration since coming into office this term. Unlawful immigration had already fallen substantially even before Trump took office because the Biden administration expanded the legal pathways that people had to be here with legal presence work and contributing. But instead of maintaining that Trump and Stephen Miller have done everything possible to destroy all legal immigration to this country, including eliminating TPS. HR 1689 provides a glimmer of hope to immigrant communities across the country, starting with Haitians. It tells them that we value their work and contribution to our country. We need more Haitians. It tells them that we won't send them to their deaths. It tells us that America still welcomes the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Oh, my gosh. Oh, that's painful to listen to. I want to look into that, too. The two and a half times fewer legal immigrants into the United States. I have not heard that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let's say that's right. You know so

[Pat Gray]

well. That's a good point, Jeffy.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's good.

[Pat Gray]

You bring up a good.

[Jeff Fisher]

I hope it should be more. I'm okay with that.

[Pat Gray]

Well, it has been about a million a year or somewhere between a million and a million five per year that are allowed in legally. That is probably too many until we get the whole thing under control.

[Jeff Fisher]

We talked about this before. We need to stop. Yeah, it all needs to stop.

[Pat Gray]

Yep. Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Then.

[Pat Gray]

Then we can readjust.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, that needs. And we can readjust in time.

[Pat Gray]

Especially when you consider that anchor babies make up nearly 10% of all u. S. Births now, which is incredible. That's unreal. So in 20, and this is from 2023, it's probably higher than this now, but 2023, 10% of all births in America came from illegal immigrant mothers. Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

That's 320,000 anchor babies that are now US citizens because their mother gave birth to them in America, which is something we gotta get a grip on and haven't yet.

[Commercial Announcer]

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

[Jeff Fisher]

Awesome.

[Pat Gray]

We can start five big stories. Because they're fat. They're big fat stories.

[Jeff Fisher]

Chewing the fat.

[Pat Gray]

Chewing the fat. Fat five. Yeah, yeah, I got it.

[Jeff Fisher]

You can hear them regularly during your program, right? Which is Unleashed, Pat, Unleashed, a program Monday through Friday, 6 to 8am Central. Right down Blaze TV and Blaze Radio

[Pat Gray]

Network, which is 7 to 9 Eastern. And it would be 6 to 8 Central.

[Jeff Fisher]

Anyway, the Coachella ended after this big second weekend at. And, boy, how much fun did everyone have with Justin Bieber, man, Madonna and

[Pat Gray]

Sabrina Carpenter, man, didn't Justin Bieber do something really weird like, he's stupid.

[Jeff Fisher]

He still looked at his computer, his old song.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, weird.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really weird.

[Pat Gray]

And sang along to himself or something.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sabrina Carpenter ended up dancing with Madonna, brought Madonna on the stage. They both were in their lingerie saying, dancing around the stage, I'm not opposed to, you know, go ahead. You want to dance around your lingerie.

[Pat Gray]

You didn't mind?

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it's fine.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, Whatever.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. And Sabrina got in trouble anyway because she got. Because somebody, she said, stop, stop making noises. And it was some Muslim woman doing what they supposed. What, she's some religious heckle or something? It was just.

[Pat Gray]

What?

[Jeff Fisher]

Really weird? Yeah, really weird. The whole thing was really.

[Pat Gray]

It was a. So it was a negative thing directed

[Jeff Fisher]

toward her or, you know, it was. She said, hey, stop it. What's going on? What do you. Yeah, what are you doing?

[Pat Gray]

Right?

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't like it, whatever you're doing,

[Pat Gray]

but it was a Muslim.

[Jeff Fisher]

It was a Muslim thing.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

And they got mad at her for.

[Pat Gray]

For doing something anti Muslim.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Which, no, I will not go there now. We have the NBA playoff and the NHL playoffs coming up too. So, man, what fun are we gonna have? And I know what you're thinking. One in five Americans believe they're basically psychic. 19% according to new research survey of 2,000 adults explored how they employ their intuition in their daily lives, finding that another 71% rely on their intuition at least sometimes, and only 11% don't believe in it at all. Over the past year, respondents have had an average of 8:18 psychic moments across generations. Gen Z is the likeliest to say that they're psychic. 30% having the most instances, two moments per month, doubling the frequency that baby boomers experienced one moment a month. Some of the top areas that intuition reigns strongest are just knowing whether something is off without explanation. 33% sensing dishonesty or the feeling that you get would just walk away from something. 26%. That's just the. I just knew. I just know about it. So, I mean, I guess unless you're actually psychic, you listen to your God.

[Pat Gray]

Is that actually being psychic or is that listening to the whole.

[Jeff Fisher]

The whole story is mostly about intuition. They talk about it begins with, you know, the one in five Americans think they're psychic. But the whole story is about using your intuition.

[Pat Gray]

Right? Some would call it intuition, others would call it the spirit. Some might call it. Yeah, yeah, just a little voice inside your head, whatever.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah. So that's what most of the story is. I mean, they had. They talked to one guy, this former FBI guy who's now. Which I thought was. Sounds like a pretty good gig. He's now the analyst and current logic to Intuition Integrity Integration Advisor.

[Pat Gray]

I was just going for that job like a couple months ago.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

And I didn't. He got it instead of me.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Pisses me off still to this day. Tried. I tried though.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, good.

[Pat Gray]

What are you gonna do? Yeah. Thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

He may leave. Ford has recalled 1.4 million F1 pickup trucks because of a gear shift issue. I'm not sure if I saw that one coming or not. The recall includes F150 light trucks and a six speed automatic transmission that were produced between 2014 and 2017. Wow. These are. I mean those are older models now. Ford is recalling the F1 pickup truck because of the gearstiff issue. The automaker is aware of two injuries and one accident possibly related to the issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's safety recall report says what many of you I'm sure, already know. Some of the pickup trucks may experience an intermittent selection signal of the transmission range sensor to the powertrain control module.

[Pat Gray]

Hate when that happens, which may lead

[Jeff Fisher]

to temporary unintended downshift into second gear. This may cause an abrupt reduction in wheel speed for a short period of time in which some situations could cause the Rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed low.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

So that you know you'd lose control.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's actually what they're telling you.

[Pat Gray]

So it seems suboptimal.

[Jeff Fisher]

Definitely suboptimal. I was looking. Ford has recalled approximately and I have no idea. I didn't look into the other automobile companies. So Ford might be the low man on the totem pole, but They've recalled approximately 7.2 million vehicles so far this year.

[Pat Gray]

This year.

[Jeff Fisher]

Following a series of significant safety notifications issued by the National Highway Traffic Society Administration.

[Pat Gray]

That seems like a lot.

[Jeff Fisher]

That seems like a lot.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

That seems like a lot.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So good luck if you have a Ford. Over 2,000 Hollywood creators have signed the open letter expressing unequivocal opposition to Paramount's 111 billion acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery. The signers, the usual suspects. Bryan Cranston, Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Damon Linolof, Lin Manuel Miranda. Yeah, you get the picture. The letter started off with about a thousand signatures and then, I mean, it doubled. Gone up ever since. It's rocketed up. The arguments are familiar. The deal would shrink the number of U.S. major studios to four, meaning fewer productions, fewer jobs. J.J. abrams, you know, while he's on the list, he's has a deal with Warner's through Bad Robot. Damon Lindelhoff is under an overall deal at hbo. Jason Bateman is a deal with hbo. Noah Wiley has a deal with hbo. So they can complain all they want. In fact, Lindelhof said he signed the letter because he was afraid of retaliation. So he did it anyway for the sake of. Of the below line workers. He actually knows Ellison and he likes him. But man, he cares about Hollywood being a blue collar town. And he cares about you. That's why he signed the letter.

[Pat Gray]

Nothing, nothing is more blue collar than Hollywood, than Hollywood. I mean, I think we can all agree on that.

[Jeff Fisher]

That speaks for itself, right? Yeah. Yeah, so. And plus, I was reading this and it looks like James Cameron is all for the deal because he called Ellison the right man for the job to run the major studio. That makes me think twice about it.

[Pat Gray]

No kidding.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm kind of okay with the deal, but because they said, Paramount said, look, we're gonna release 30 theatrical films a year. It's going to create more avenues for creators, not fewer. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that's what we'll see.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what they say. I mean, we still have Netflix, you know, Sarandos is meeting with the theater owners. There was a report of a big meeting with him at Cinemacon last week with the theater owner. So it'll be fine.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Jeff Fisher]

It'll be fine.

[Pat Gray]

That's fine.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't even worry about it. Speaking of mergers, too, will it be United, American or American? United, because apparently United Airlines pitched President Trump on big idea back in February. What if we merged with American Airlines? Wow.

[Pat Gray]

Really?

[Jeff Fisher]

They talked. They talked. The news broke last week and that

[Pat Gray]

if no competition, that's not good.

[Jeff Fisher]

The 2 would control 40% of the domestic flights. Now, American Airlines at the end of last week and said, yeah, we're not interested in merging.

[Pat Gray]

I hope that's true. So. Because that would not be. That's not a good thing for the consumer.

[Jeff Fisher]

What? Are you kidding me? United, American, American, United. No airlines are so friendly now, right?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they're so welcoming. They are so welcoming.

[Jeff Fisher]

They'd be even more welcoming if it was.

[Pat Gray]

And you get so many extras on every slide down, don't you? You get so much for your money.

[Jeff Fisher]

Happy to have you.

[Pat Gray]

It's incredible.

[Jeff Fisher]

And if you're not, if you're unhappy, just say something,

[Pat Gray]

throw you right off the flight. And so you don't have to be on the plane anymore.

[Jeff Fisher]

You don't have to worry about flying

[Pat Gray]

and maybe have you arrested.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, the, the police will be there to detain you when you leave them.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Leave the airplane.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

They might not actually arrest you, but.

[Pat Gray]

But you will be detained.

[Jeff Fisher]

You will be.

[Pat Gray]

Which is always fun.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, that is always fun.

[Pat Gray]

So that's something to look forward to.

[Jeff Fisher]

The fat fat 5.

[Pat Gray]

Representative Ilana Mar says she's not a millionaire. Now you might remember, I don't know, a couple of months ago, there was a big story that her wealth, her, she and her husband's wealth.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

From. I don't know, minuscule amount. Not minuscule, but for a person in, in these high profile positions, it's minuscule because most of our representatives are incredibly wealthy. She had a wealth of something like $200,000. Well, it spiked ever so slightly to $30 million. And that created a little bit of problem. Hey, hey, I thought you were all about equality.

[Jeff Fisher]

And where are you? Where's this money coming from? What's going on?

[Pat Gray]

How'd you get so rich in such a short amount of time?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, usually the representatives take a couple of years.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, to get, to get to that.

[Pat Gray]

Well, they try to at least hide some of their insider trading.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. They don't just want to come out. Out with it.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Well, it came right out.

[Jeff Fisher]

It did.

[Pat Gray]

And so she did a little amending to her Filing? Yes, I think. I think our reps have to. They. They file their financials yearly, maybe. And so she just did that again, but amended her filing just ever so slightly. It went from $30 million to $18,000. Now she's worth $18,000.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

It was a little error on the part of our accountant. Supposed to be able to count all of our money.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, you counted too much of. It's kind of too much.

[Pat Gray]

He did. He overvalued some things. You know, like, instead of their home being worth, let's say, $500,000, it's worth $50 million.

[Jeff Fisher]

So what's incredible is that it's like it's. She makes a hundred. 174,000 a year as a representative.

[Pat Gray]

174. Yeah. Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

So.

[Pat Gray]

So how could you possibly be worth $18,004? That's what they. Specifically. 18,004.

[Jeff Fisher]

Now they say. Yeah, they gave her. There's a.

[Pat Gray]

They gave her a little bit of a. Of leeway from 18. It might be 18,000. It might be 95,000.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh. Oh, okay.

[Pat Gray]

Where you.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'd like to file that, actually.

[Pat Gray]

Would love to file. Yeah. I make somewhere between $30 a year and 30 million. You figure it out. IRS. That doesn't work for us. How does it work for her?

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know.

[Jason Buttrell]

Know.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know. And how do you. The discrepancy is. Oh, that's a.

[Pat Gray]

That's a fairly large.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a discrepancy. You think that the accountant wouldn't be an accountant after that?

[Pat Gray]

You sure would. The whole business should be shuttered if that's their competency level. I mean, that is insane. And does anybody believe that it was just some accounting error? Because I certainly don't. Don't. I think that they've made this kind of money and they've, you know, she's discovered the world of insider trading, and they probably tripled, quadrupled. Some toppled their. Their. All of their portfolio.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

And then it's like, oh, we don't want people to know that. No, I'm only worth $18,000.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I'm sure she. I'm sure that she is not involved in anything to do with the fraud going on in Minneapolis.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, no. Wow. I'm surprised you even brought that up.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm sorry.

[Pat Gray]

Whoa.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Are you saying just because it's Somali fraud and she's from Somalia that she might be connected to that somehow?

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm saying no.

[Pat Gray]

Well, okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm saying no.

[Pat Gray]

Good. Because you scared me there. I was about to get really upset with you.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not possible that she could be

[Pat Gray]

involved in any of your racism. And. And nativism was really showing through there for a minute. All right, more coming up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Glenn Beck is back after this.

[Commercial Announcer]

Saying that last goodbye to a furry friend that you've loved over the years is devastating. What makes it even harder is knowing how quickly time goes by. One day they're racing to the door, the next day they're moving a little slower, sleeping a little more. And you start wondering, is there anything I can do?

Foreign.

[Pat Gray]

Jordan wants to expunge the Trump impeachment. Wants to just take it from American history, which would be great.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely. Get rid of it.

[Pat Gray]

This is the one in 2019.

[Jeff Fisher]

The hoax.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, right. Yeah. The Russia collusion hoax, which I think.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think Cash Patel has said he's looking into. I forget what that. What they were all looking into, because when I see the FBI stuff now, I'm like, okay, well, I know. Let me know when you're done.

[Pat Gray]

It's just hard to trust him again when you're done. Yeah, right. Because we. They got us all lathered up. Cash and Dan. Dan, all of them got us kind of lathered up that we were going to get to the bottom of the Epstein files. And we're going to do that day one. And then it didn't happen on day one or day 1,000. Of course, we're not to 1,000 quite yet. But I don't, I don't think we're ever going to get to the bottom of that. It doesn't look good for that, which is really unfortunate because, you know, all the abuse that happened to young girls, somebody needs to be held accountable. And I don't think they're going to be. And it's, it's really too bad. In Britain, there's a shadow industry of law firms and advisors that's charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay so that they can stay in the UK and for some reason that all rhymed. I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's awesome.

[Pat Gray]

But apparently if you're gay and you're claiming asylum in Britain, that helps because if you're coming from a Muslim country, you could be in danger for being gay. So whether they're gay or not, they're pretending to be so they can stay and claim and they need help to

[Jeff Fisher]

learn how to be gay.

[Pat Gray]

I guess so.

[Jeff Fisher]

Care. I guess so. Cross your legs like this.

[Pat Gray]

All right, we've got more coming up. We'll check in with Jason betwixt coming up in a few minutes. Talk about Iran and some other situations that are going on on our planet. It's coming up on the Glenn Beck program. Pat and Jeffy.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

today featuring Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher. We're gonna talk to Jason Buttrell coming up in a second. He's taking some Time off. The. Not insiders.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, well, the torches.

[Pat Gray]

The torch. Insiders. Right, Torches.

[Jason Buttrell]

That works.

[Pat Gray]

We're gonna talk to him, get an update on what's happening in Iran in 60 seconds.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let me ask you something. How many different places do you have to go right now just to understand your business insurance? And I don't mean to buy it, I mean to actually just understand it. Because for most people, business insurance is not one thing. It's a collection of things. Different policies, different documents, different people you have to call depending on what the question is. And when you actually need a straight answer, you don't always get one. That's the part that doesn't make sense. And it can be really frustrating when you're trying to get it right.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Commercial Announcer]

Well, this new company I am a big fan of. Super sure they just fixed this. It's one agency, one team working with you year round, not just when it's time to renew. So you can actually see how everything fits together instead of trying to piece it together for yourself. And they even built a tool called the Fine Print Facts that'll take all the legal language and translate it into real English so you know exactly what you have, what it covers and what it doesn't. Because you should know, you should never have to guess when something is right when it's this important. Go to super sure.comback that's super sure.com back paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

[Pat Gray]

All right, Jason joins us. Because the straight is open, the straight is closed. The straight is open again. And now it's closed. And so which is it, Jason? Where are we here? And are we even talking to the right people? Who are the right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Apparently we're not talking to anyone. That.

[Jason Buttrell]

I think that is the question. But I also think that that is part of the strategy. I think this has been the goal the entire time, from the moment we announced that ceasefire. I think the entire point was to get us to this, what we're seeing right now and what the media is finally reporting on.

[Pat Gray]

Really?

[Jason Buttrell]

So what is that? So from the very beginning, we've had the political leadership within Iran, whether it's the speaker of the Parliament, the president, foreign minister, whatever. They're making claims, they'll make a claim, we'll respond to it, and then maybe 12 hours later, they'll be like, that's

[Pat Gray]

not what I meant, or something else,

[Jason Buttrell]

you know, and then they completely just destroy whatever we thought was happening. Yeah, that has been the state of the game. Back and forth, back and forth. All the way up until we're at today.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. That was forever.

[Jason Buttrell]

During the negotiations, the last negotiations to set up this current ceasefire. I don't know if you remember, but Marco Rubio, when he came back, he said that what they came to realize was that the people, the political leadership that were there with them in Pakistan did not even have the leverage to even negotiate.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, wow.

[Jason Buttrell]

So they left thinking, okay, well, that's why J.D.

[Jeff Fisher]

was so upset. Yeah.

[Jason Buttrell]

I mean, well, and there was a lot of different stuff about, I mean, when J.D. right when, when Vice President Vance, when he, he was kind of clearing up those 10 point plans. And that to me was hilarious because they could not. That was the crazy. This is all part of it as well. That was the craziest peace proposal I've ever seen in my life. For one, there was about four different versions of it.

[Pat Gray]

It.

[Jason Buttrell]

We're like, what, what exactly are they proposing?

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jason Buttrell]

Because you didn't know if it was coming from the political leadership or you didn't know if it was coming from. Oh, well, this version's coming from the irgc. No one actually knows. It's all been building to basically having them all, every, all the leadership in Iran doing that Spider man meme where they're all, you know, doing this. They're all pointing to one side, the other one's pointing. Are you negotiating?

[Jeff Fisher]

Did you agree with that? D.C. is in, is taking over the Strait of Hormuz though, Right.

[Pat Gray]

They're the ones that, and they claim to be in charge of Iran. Iran. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Jason Buttrell]

And they are.

[Pat Gray]

Do you think they are?

[Jason Buttrell]

They've always been.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jason Buttrell]

They've always been. Even to become President of the President become President of Iran, you have to go through, and I'm sure you guys know this too, you have to go through a committee. Then it goes through the Ayatollah and they say, oh, yeah, there's elections, but only the elections for the two guys that I. Do you want Blue Crazy Twelver or Red Crazy Twelver? Pick wise Iranians. Either. Either way, it's going to be someone that the Supreme Leader has already signed off on.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jason Buttrell]

Or someone that he's gonna, he's gonna push somebody in any regard.

[Pat Gray]

But does the IRGC answer to the Ayatollah or is it vice versa?

[Jason Buttrell]

That's a very good question. So for right now, I'm not even, I don't even know if, I don't even know if he's pulling any strings at the moment.

[Pat Gray]

Plus, he's dead, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

No, he's got a Patch, the son

[Pat Gray]

is either dead, critically wounded, missing body parts, or he's in charge. I mean, we don't really know, do we?

[Jason Buttrell]

No, we don't really know. But the IRGC has always been an extension of what the Supreme Leader is, want to, wanted to do. Now you have the. Basically, Iran is wild. It's, it's, it's a full blown security state, security surveillance state. The IRGC runs it with an iron fist. Not only that, but they make billions of dollars off of it. They have their own banks, they have their own industries, they have their own shell companies. They are the richest people within in the country. They pull all of the strings and they are the radicals of the radicals. Many of their leadership, whatever's left after this campaign go all the way back to the revolution. They are the true power structure within Iran and the political leadership has really always just been the face. So right now you're finally starting to see Western media kind of report on the way it actually is because they've

[Pat Gray]

been a hindrance up until now. The mainstream media has been reporting as if we're losing this war, which is despicable.

[Jason Buttrell]

Yeah, this has been the most successful military campaign that I can ever remember. And if something like this were to be planned or executed in the past, it would involve some massive ground troop and time, I guess, package attached to it. That's not the way they have done this military campaign. And it has been an incredibly targeted campaign. It has, I mean, basically almost full air superiority within a matter of days, which Iran is, was considered one of the top tier regional powers that should be able to combat against this. Basically everything that Vladimir Putin wanted to do to Ukraine and failed to do, we did it in just a few days, which is wild. There's no possible way you can claim that this is not going well. The only problem is, and the only thing looking forward is, is what is it going to take to fully say, okay, screw it, no more games, we are seizing control of the Strait of Hormuz. What does that mean? Does that mean occupying some islands, you know, within the Strait? Now you're thinking, yes, I think it does. Do I think that equals, you know, in Afghanistan, Libya, that type of thing, you know, Iraq, commitment? No, I do not think it is. Every war is different and I think this would be different.

[Pat Gray]

Different.

[Jason Buttrell]

Am I, am I more uneasy about it? Yes, I am more uneasy about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

And we're not getting any help from any of our allies keeping the street themselves.

[Jason Buttrell]

It was the last week, right? As it was Friday. I think it was right on the day that the, what was it, the President or former whoever was in Iran said the strait is now open. And then Trump said, yes, the strait is open. Congratulations, Bubba.

[Jeff Fisher]

Blah.

[Jason Buttrell]

That day Starmer from the UK and it was Macron said, guys, we met, you know, because we fully, we're putting a committee together. We're all right. And, and yeah, we can announce that, you know, the committee said, yes, we should put together a 10 point plan on what we plan to do in the future. And I was like, shut up, this is stupid.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay?

[Jason Buttrell]

You don't plan to do anything. You're gonna wait until everything's resolved and then say, say, I guess sail your little dinghy in there and say, we're here, right? Give me a break.

[Pat Gray]

Which, you know, it's hard to believe for me that Britain has not supported us at all. This is supposedly our closest ally in the world, maybe between them in Israel, but I think it's probably more like Britain and they've just completely turned their

[Jeff Fisher]

back on us and they're, they get, well, I don't know if they get more goods than us that come through the Strait, but they get a lot of them and the Strait is responsible for a lot of goods for them.

[Jason Buttrell]

It's one of the side quests that I think this entire thing has unlocked that. I don't know if the Trump administration planned for this to fully come out during this or not, but it's out regardless. Is that a lot of our previous allies, which we have always thought were, whether it's NATO, whether it's the UK and our special relationship, that they're not exactly allies, they depend on us through multiple different things. Whether that's imbalanced trade agreements, whether that's tariffs that they had on us, that it's the moment we said, hey, we're gonna put reciprocal, they're like, whoa, whoa, hey now, hey now. Or whether we said, hey, you really need to protect yourself with your own military. They have not wanted to do that and it's reasonable for them not to want to do that. If I'm them, I'm like, well, crap, I'm getting all this money from you guys. The trade is. The trade deals are built off of post World War II construction, reconstruction. I can fund all of these welfare programs and progressive ideology. And they have, I mean, the very first thing after the UK, after World War II was over, the progressives swooped in and they created the National Health Service. Not, oh, let's get all our banks up to, let's get all Our manufacturing. No, let's seize control of the medical industry. Shows you they weren't really going off of good faith on that. But that's how they've operated ever since.

[Jeff Fisher]

Stupid.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Is there a chance that Trump backs up some of his threats and pulls out of NATO?

[Jason Buttrell]

Wow, that's a good question. I don't think that. So I know that that would be a very lengthy legal thing. What was that?

[Pat Gray]

You probably have to involve Congress, right?

[Jason Buttrell]

Yes. Well, not in terms of the Constitution. In terms of the Constitution. He should be able to do this. He should be able to.

[Pat Gray]

He can unilaterally, as per the Constitution.

[Jason Buttrell]

Now, the problem is Congress passed a law, what was it, through the National Defense Authorization act to make it harder for him to do that. But I think that's grossly unconstitutional and I think that the Supreme Court would strike that down personally.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what I believe.

[Jason Buttrell]

Now, if I was the Trump administration, I would not do that. I would. Okay, you want me to stay in NATO, you want to cause all these problems, fine. I'm just going to pull all of our troops and bases out of the countries that stay. Stabbed us in the back.

[Pat Gray]

I want to do that so badly.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know. Well, didn't we. I think we all about that. I think. And, and that's where we found out that we couldn't empty our bases out. Right. We couldn't end those. So we would have to leave at least, you know, a couple of gate guards and then still call it a base, but not have anyone there.

[Jason Buttrell]

That's fine. And then take the rest of them and either put them in Poland or take them and put, take them back somewhere closer to the United States. I mean, that would be hilarious to watch them scramble. Anytime you even threaten to close a base, look at the holy heck that it, you know, the chaos just in our own country. Like we can expand, we can expand

[Jeff Fisher]

our base in Greenland because we own that. And we need to set up a new base in Cuba and we need to set up a new base in Venezuela so we could put your head troops there.

[Jason Buttrell]

I love, I like how you're thinking exactly. The Cuba and Venezuela bases will be lit. I might rejoin the military, actually, to spend a little bit of time down in Havana.

[Pat Gray]

I think it's some great. It's, it's interesting because if there was ever a president who would not just threaten this, but do it, it's this one. It's President Trump to get us out of NATO or out of the U.N. it's amazing that he's Even discussing it.

[Jason Buttrell]

Yeah. And the discussion is really important because I believe that this is what I personally, I think that everything he's doing abroad, everything he's doing through trade, everything he's doing through tariffs, everything I believe is done for a very specific reason. I think all of it is for disengagement. I think that once we fix the problems, like with the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle east, we can then disengage from there. Same with Europe.

[Pat Gray]

And we can use that for leverage with really obtaining officially Greenland. Right. We could. If we. If you are not excited about turning over Greenland to us, how about. How excited are you if we pull out a NATO.

[Jason Buttrell]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, I can't imagine that they'd be okay with that. They'll pretend to be okay with that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But they, they couldn't function on their own.

[Jason Buttrell]

They could not function.

[Jeff Fisher]

That.

[Jason Buttrell]

That's so ridiculous. If we actually pulled out a NATO, they would have to up their own defense. They would have to build their own navy.

[Pat Gray]

And they're not in that position right now.

[Jason Buttrell]

No. And they never will be. It's, it's. It's like if you have a kid and you're constantly letting him live in your. In, in your basement. He's 35 years old. He's not equipped to care for himself. That's what Europe. Europe is our 35 year old son that is living in the basement right now. It's so stupid.

[Pat Gray]

It is. It's agonizing.

[Jeff Fisher]

They have an extra doorway. They can come in. It's easy.

[Jason Buttrell]

If we put his own mailbox on there, you know, he can check his own mail.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, but we, we're not giving him a TV because then that's, that's too much. We know it'll just be wasted time down there. You. I. Did I hear you mention that Ilana and her finances are kind of tied into what? The Iranian situation. What were you saying?

[Jason Buttrell]

I was looking at. I was so glad you guys brought that up because I was looking at doing that in one of our Insider segments because it was. I was look, when I was looking through different stories, I look for things that connect. And in some of our radio prep and you know, it was those dastardly accountants that are terrorizing. It's all their fault. And there was this story about California and Gavin Newsom. They've had. They have an issue of like what was like a $2 billion issue.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Jason Buttrell]

And I'm reading through the story and it was like those dang accountants. You Know, if it was not for

[Jeff Fisher]

them, it was a rounding error.

[Jason Buttrell]

Come on. $2 billion, and you're gonna say it's only the accountant's fault.

[Pat Gray]

Incredible.

[Jason Buttrell]

Whether you're going for $30 million to. What was the thing with yellow del.

[Jeff Fisher]

Margin?

[Jason Buttrell]

$18,000.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jason Buttrell]

If not for those dang accountants. But this is how they skirt responsibility, whether it's on the state level, the federal level, or Ellen Omar and her wineries and stuff.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Minnesota Winery.

[Jason Buttrell]

Okay, do we know where the winery is?

[Jeff Fisher]

We don't. I'm assuming that it's in Minnesota because there's nothing like those. Frozen grape wine.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, delicious.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, man.

[Pat Gray]

This time of year. Phenomenal.

[Jason Buttrell]

These are the things that really tick, you know, Americans off is they always come up with a way so that they can shift the blame on somebody else and claim ignorance. Yeah, every single time.

[Jeff Fisher]

The everyday American cannot do that.

[Jason Buttrell]

No, I mean, how many times I said this on the inside? Segment is like, you get pulled over for going 15 to 35. You cannot say, oh, I'm sorry, officer. I did not know I was ignorant to the speed limit.

[Pat Gray]

Doesn't matter.

[Jason Buttrell]

It does not matter unless you're in Congress. Then apparently it's perfectly fine.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. Triple eight, seven two seven. Beck.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know Jason had to get out of here, but I wanted to Ask him. And I didn't get an opportunity. If he thought that President Trump would start bombing Iran tomorrow or Wednesday, because tomorrow's the last day of the ceasefire there. Right, Right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

So is, does that mean tomorrow at midnight is the last day or whatever.

[Pat Gray]

But it's a good question.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know what, but at what point, if they haven't bent the knee to open the Strait of Hormuz and say that, yes, we're not gonna, we'll do everything you want. And that's right, we're defeated. Which I'm sure they're not going to do.

[Pat Gray]

No, we need.

[Jeff Fisher]

When does he start bombing? Because he needs to.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah. And hopefully we won't get the answer in advance because we don't want to tip them off to when they, when the bombing. I don't know, I don't care.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let them know we're coming.

[Pat Gray]

I think that's, I think that's the feeling of a lot of the US military is, doesn't matter. But you don't want to tip them, tip your hand too much. So who knows? I guess we'll have to wait and see. As far as, as far as wind bombing resumes, because we've been, been, I mean, the pr. We've been pretty patient up to this point.

[Jeff Fisher]

We have. And I don't want to look, I don't want to bomb, you know, Iranian citizens and, you know, I don't want, I get that. I get all that. But on the other hand.

[Pat Gray]

On the other hand, on the other hand, when they're showing this kind of make a point, militancy and this kind of disrespect.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. You know, especially after.

[Pat Gray]

You would think we would have earned some respect by now.

[Jeff Fisher]

After all we've already done.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

After all we've already done. I mean, we're saying we've getting, we've got rid of there, we've killed all their. They got no ships, they got, they've got no weapons, they've got none of this. And yet. And they still haven't said, okay, you got us. You know, I give, I give. Okay, well, let's give you a little bit more then.

[Pat Gray]

That just kind of shows that it is the IRGC that's in control in Iran. It just shows that the military is in control of Iran and they don't, they don't care about their people. We've seen that by the fact that they murdered 42, 000 of their citizens during the protests. Right, 42, 000.

[Jeff Fisher]

And there were reports unimaginable than that? Actually.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. It went up to, like, 90 or 95, I think the same accountants that

[Jeff Fisher]

did Alan Omar's worth did the numbers in Iran.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. And it's. It's really sad. It's really tragic because you don't want the Iranian people to be punished for what their leadership is doing, but it's. It's hard for them not to be caught up in that for sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

And look, we just. We talked about it from the very beginning, right. How does the everyday Iranian take over his country? If the everyday guy. You know, I run a coffee shop, and I. That's what I do. I sell coffee downtown.

[Pat Gray]

And you're unarmed.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't want a downtown coffee shop. Yeah, I'm just trying to make a living.

[Pat Gray]

And it's really.

[Jeff Fisher]

Now we're leaving it up to them to take over their country. Well, how. How does. How do they do that? I don't have the answer to that. I mean, I honestly, I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think anybody has the answer.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Which is why it hasn't happened.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

The president has said multiple times that when this is over, you need to take back your country. But. Okay, what form does that take? Yeah, I guess you got to get out in the streets.

[Jeff Fisher]

And when is it over?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, when is it over? I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I would guess, I guess it's when you get out of the streets.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And you say, okay, we're taking our country back. Okay, well. Oh, that's great. But does that mean that we're talking to Bill, the coffee shop owner now for the new rules, or. I mean, I don't know how that works. Honestly, I don't.

[Pat Gray]

Part of what makes this so difficult is, you know, we took out so much of their leadership, and nobody knows exactly who's in control now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

All right. 888. 727 Beck. More coming up.

[Commercial Announcer]

Some people in today's world really feel forgotten. There's a Jewish woman named Esther I'd like to tell you about. In her home in Israel, Esther is living through days and nights in fear. Sirens are sounding, rockets screaming through the sky. Long stretches spent in a bomb shelter. She's 84 years old. Esther's frightened. She's fragile.

[Pat Gray]

She's alone.

[Commercial Announcer]

Imagine that. No help, no food deliveries, no medical care. No one knocking at her door in a war zone alone. But because of people like you, she doesn't feel alone. She's not alone. Through the fellowship, you're there bringing food, meeting urgent needs, reminding the Jewish people that just like Esther, you're not forgotten. In times of fear and uncertainty, your compassion brings hope and help. Esther asks that you hear these words to those who give. You are doing a very great mitzvah, a good deed. Give from your heart. May God protect you. Your gift to God's people is truly hope giving and life saving. Please don't wait. Call 888-488-IFC-88488, IFCJ or go to ifcj.org

[Jeff Fisher]

get the stories the media buried this week straight from Glenn. Go ahead and sign up now@glenn beck.com.

[Pat Gray]

Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher from PAC Ray Unleashed filling in for Glenn today, who is back again tomorrow morning. Same time, same place, same same so studio the world will be right again. In fact, I think he is in the studio, right? Yeah, yeah. It's going to be here this week. So will be fun. We have this African correspondent for CNN who is discussing Africa and their love for our president Donald Trump. Yeah, I found this is nice to see and hear.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is nice. And the CNN host is almost like,

[Pat Gray]

it's like, how do who line this person up?

[Jeff Fisher]

He's our African correspondent.

[Pat Gray]

So. Yeah. This is clip 32, sir, what is

[Jason Buttrell]

the overall feeling about President Donald Trump on the continent of Africa? President Trump is surprisingly much beloved in Africa and people don't realize this part of the region. Part of the reason why President Trump is beloved in Africa is because he's got a strong opposition to abortion. People feel like he probably is not pro LGBT rights. People are very religious in Africa. Many people are religious, either Christian or Muslim. And so they feel that President Trump represents those conservative values that they agree with. Obviously, President Trump has made some decisions that affect Africans moving to the United States. There's a lot of visa restrictions. There's aid cuts that affected USAID. In Cameroon, where Pope Leo is right now, maybe 600,000 people might not have food in the next few months because of the aid cuts that affect USAID and foreign aid by the United States. But overall, I think when I go around Africa, people like President Trump.

[Pat Gray]

Trump.

[Jason Buttrell]

They like that he speaks his mind. And they remember him from the Apprentice.

[Jeff Fisher]

It was very well syndicated across Africa.

[Pat Gray]

And they remember him from the Apprentice. That's great.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's awesome.

[Pat Gray]

Actually cut funds to usaid. I know, Jeffy. It was doing so much good. I mean, listen to just a few of the wonderful programs that aid was funded.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, good.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Americans have been funding the following 5.5

[Commercial Announcer]

million to LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

800,000 for transgender people, sex workers and their clients.

[Pat Gray]

Right. In Nepal for LGBTQ activism, free training

[Commercial Announcer]

in pastry cooking, psychological psychosocial counseling, a

[Jeff Fisher]

cyber cafe and the dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti.

[Pat Gray]

Dance focus and 1.1 million to produce

[Jeff Fisher]

Gender Transformation in Diverse Social and Behavior Change report, which advocates against, quote, gender blindness.

[Pat Gray]

Gender blindness.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. Yeah, good. I mean, all those have been cut.

[Pat Gray]

Where are the trans dancers in Nepal going to get their funding? Now?

[Jeff Fisher]

Those cuts seem to think that the way the correspondent made it sound, that the people would be happy about.

[Pat Gray]

Right? You would think so.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. But I don't know where the sex workers and their clients are going to get their money in Zimbabwe. I don't know at this point. I mean, it's just cruel.

[Jeff Fisher]

Maybe. Maybe they don't do that job.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that's unthinkable.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay?

[Pat Gray]

That's unacceptable. I'm sorry. I can't. I can't hear about that.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right?

[Pat Gray]

I can't abide it. Can't abide it, Jeff.

[Jeff Fisher]

Think it out loud.

[Pat Gray]

Stop it. Stop it. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Are you going to be reading the Bible with President Trump tomorrow?

[Pat Gray]

Is. Is it tomorrow? Is tomorrow the day?

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, night. He's reading between 6 and 7pm Eastern, and it'll be available to watch. There's a live stream of it. America Reads the Bible. The great, great American Pure Flicks app will do it. But it's going to be tomorrow night. President Trump is going to read the Bible. They're gonna. I mean, it's a. It's a marathon of Bible record reading.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Which is pretty incredible.

[Pat Gray]

So how long will that go on? Is just an hour, or is it for President Trump? Yeah. Okay, so he's going to be there for a full hour.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

How great is that?

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

What other US President has ever done that?

[Jeff Fisher]

I. I would say none. Is it one?

[Pat Gray]

Well, let me think. Did I carry the one? Yeah. Okay. Carry the one. None. Zero. Presidents are pretty sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

You need a.

[Pat Gray]

Pretty sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

An accountant for that.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, you can fact check me on that, but I'm pretty confident in the answer being zero.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, we're creeping up. This is part of the, you know,

[Pat Gray]

run down the 250th anniversary.

[Jeff Fisher]

250.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which were what, 74 or 74?

[Jeff Fisher]

75 days away. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So it's a pretty big deal. Do you remember?

[Jeff Fisher]

Huge deal.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, I know that you were too young at the time, but you maybe heard about this from your grandfather when you were sitting on his lap and. And you crushed his legs. Do you remember that? And we hear about.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't remember crushing his legs. I remember sitting on his lap and telling me. Me. Telling me about things.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, so he did not. It's just a rumor that he had to have his legs amputated after you sat on.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think it started. That rumor started from someone in this room, actually.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that's wrong. That's just wrong. I'm looking around. I don't.

[Jeff Fisher]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

Who is in here hiding right now?

[Jeff Fisher]

But yes, he.

[Pat Gray]

I did hear my grandfather, because the bicentennial. Remember how huge that was? It was gigantic. And we talked about it all the time.

[Jeff Fisher]

Time sure did. Everything was involved. Everybody had. Yeah, everybody had parts. All of it.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. And it just. It doesn't feel like that this time.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it doesn't.

[Pat Gray]

And it's 250 years.

[Jeff Fisher]

It should.

[Pat Gray]

It should.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, we have the.

[Pat Gray]

Really should.

[Jeff Fisher]

And look, there's all kinds of stuff that's happening around the 250. I mean, we're gonna have the. The state fair on the Mall.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

All the states are there. And our territories showing off what they're, you know, famous for. Maybe we'll have Minnesota showing their Minnesota wine. I don't know what Minnesota is going to bring.

[Pat Gray]

And what day is the. The event that Glenn is doing? Oh, it's May 2nd. Okay. So that's coming up in a couple of weeks.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. And that's part of it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, that'll be great. And then we have the. I mean, we have the. The national prayer event, which we rededicate one nation under God. God, that's good.

[Pat Gray]

That's really good.

[Jeff Fisher]

The Flag Day event, which everyone is so happy to point out. That's his birthday too.

[Pat Gray]

Right?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, we know.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's where they're having the UFC event. Yeah, that day.

[Pat Gray]

Because I. And I like the fact that it's on Flag Day instead of the Fourth of July.

[Jeff Fisher]

Me too.

[Pat Gray]

I think that's a more appropriate place for it, frankly. Not that that UFC event is decent, wonderful and tremendous. I just don't know that that needs to be the main focus on the Fourth of July.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. And then we have the. I mean, we have the Patriot Games coming up, the Hunger Games. I mean, the Patriot Games coming up in the fall where we have the four day athletic event, the high school athletes, one boy and one girl. No trans. According to the president, from each state and territory. Okay, that'll be fun. I mean, we have the Garden of American Heroes. He's going to build the arch, which he just got some of the. Go ahead with.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, that looks like it's going to be beautiful.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's gonna be awesome.

[Pat Gray]

It's 250ft tall. So it's even bigger than the Lark de Triomphe in France. And that's probably the most famous one in the world.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And ours is going to be bigger

[Jeff Fisher]

and it should be 100ft taller. It should be, yes.

[Pat Gray]

So put that in your pipe and smoke it, you frogs.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're gonna have four gold lions on it at the base face. It's gonna have a 60 foot tall lady Liberty, like gold statue facing the Washington Monument flanked by gold eagles.

[Pat Gray]

It's gonna be breathtaking.

[Jeff Fisher]

Visitors are going to be able to access the viewing deck through an internal staircase. I'm not taking those stairs. Or an elevator. No, I'm looking at it from out here. Not climbing the stairs. No.

[Pat Gray]

Now an elevator.

[Jeff Fisher]

Elevator. Yeah, I'll do that.

[Pat Gray]

Like, consider that, that. Imagine there's going to be long lines, escalator, elevator.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'll do one of those. Yeah, stairs.

[Pat Gray]

No, no, no, thank you. No, thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, I'm not doing that.

[Pat Gray]

Also, over the weekend, China did something interesting. Apparently they're doing this every year now because last year they did a robot race where robots raced against humans and it didn't go well. Last year they were. The robots were all falling down. They had to be picked up and helped by their, you know, humans handlers.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, the ones who were actually running it, you know, they were still. There was.

[Pat Gray]

They weren't really running.

[Jeff Fisher]

They weren't.

[Pat Gray]

They were kind of walking, sort of. Not even.

[Jeff Fisher]

Most of them weren't autonomous, though. They were. They needed help.

[Pat Gray]

Now, one year later, we have this. Check this out.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Right now,

[Jeff Fisher]

this robot is. Looks like a person with no arms running really fast.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, he's running. That's really fast compared to what we've seen on these humanoids.

[Jeff Fisher]

And he broke the record, actually. But he crashes.

[Pat Gray]

But then he hits the.

[Jeff Fisher]

He crashes. They rise in the side, but he's so far ahead it doesn't matter.

[Pat Gray]

And he's down. He's.

[Jeff Fisher]

The handlers run out, right? And they, they pick him back up, back up, get him back on his feet.

[Pat Gray]

Here they come.

[Jeff Fisher]

And he finishes the rest.

[Pat Gray]

So a whole bunch of handlers come out and there's, I don't know, 10 guys that lift him back up.

[Jeff Fisher]

They brought.

[Pat Gray]

He fell down and went boom.

[Jeff Fisher]

The handlers came and so did the medics. The medic people are like, no, but they don't need us. This is a Robot. It's not a human, okay.

[Pat Gray]

It turns out he's not bleeding. And so then he just starts running again. Now the guys can't even keep up with it.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's funny, but it's not. Now, he said a reference record. When he set the record. Right.

[Pat Gray]

He beat the human record by seven minutes. The. The record before this was, I don't know, for a human, 57 minutes and some seconds. He did it. This robot did it in 50 minutes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Incredible.

[Pat Gray]

That's even after falling down.

[Jeff Fisher]

Next year it'll be 20 minutes and he won't fall down.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And if you see a hundred of those coming into your neighborhood. Good. What do you do?

[Pat Gray]

Well, you can't knock them down, apparently, after next year.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Like Weeble robots, man.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. They can wobble, but they don't.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're already using them. I mean, we already have plenty of places using robots to assist in security. Robot dogs, robots on wheels, assisting in security. The dog ones are the ones that are a little scary when you see them patrolling areas. There's places that patrol. I have those dogs patrolling. And, you know, I don't think you want none of that.

[Pat Gray]

No, I personally don't. I'm pretty sure it's. The. The advancement from last year to this year is staggering.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. For those robots. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely. You know how long it took. It took the. The robot last year. It took him, and he fell down over and over and over again, but he wound up finishing the race in 2 hours and 40 minutes. It took him almost three hours this year. 50 minutes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

That's amazing progress in one year. Still crashed. Fell down a time or two, but still wiped out the competition.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Yeah. That particular robot wiped out the competition.

[Pat Gray]

Humans were, I think, eight minutes behind it. And I think some other.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, it was multiple robot teams there.

[Pat Gray]

I think six robots beat. Beat all humans.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And there was. There was. And I don't know if any of those were autonomous or not. I don't know if any of those were on their own.

[Pat Gray]

Some were. They. I think they said about 40 of them were completely autonomous, but I don't know. Needed help. Yeah, I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

But still.

[Pat Gray]

But it's frightening. It's chilling.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, next year, look out for the Terminator.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck.

[Jeff Fisher]

tomorrow as well on Pat Graham leashed.

[Pat Gray]

Yes we are.

[Jeff Fisher]

Which you can, you can be a part of on Blaze TV or Blaze Radio. Pat unleashed 6 to 8 Central or

[Pat Gray]

wherever you get your podcast, whatever time

[Jeff Fisher]

of day and night, that's a good idea as well.

[Pat Gray]

Apparently there's a couple of major US airlines that are trying to merge. Well at least one of them report

[Jeff Fisher]

was yeah, United brought it up to President Trump apparently that they wanted to merge with American. What do you, what do you think about that, Don? What do you think? And so that that's was the report. Now American has said we are not, we're not interested in that but I

[Pat Gray]

hope they're not because that just that just lessens the competition factor.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well together they're like 40% of the the American air.

[Pat Gray]

Is that all? Oh, that's not bad.

[Jeff Fisher]

Plus they're ranked according to WalletHub. American is ranked 8th and United is ranked 10th on this list. So, I mean, if they merge, I mean, what do they become, seventh or something? Big deal.

[Pat Gray]

Who's. Who's number one in that? Is it Delta?

[Jeff Fisher]

It is not Delta. Delta is seventh.

[Pat Gray]

Seventh.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Really?

[Jeff Fisher]

And then you got JetBlue and Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

[Pat Gray]

Are they all ahead of. Of. Of United?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Oh, wow. Sky west and Southwest. Southwest is number two.

[Pat Gray]

Huh.

[Jeff Fisher]

SkyWest is number three, and the number one best airline according to Wallet Hub. Spirit Airlines.

[Jason Buttrell]

What?

[Jeff Fisher]

What, you think it was some other. Other brand?

[Pat Gray]

But no, you can't.

[Jeff Fisher]

Spirit Airline. That's. That's.

[Pat Gray]

What. Have you ever flown Spirit?

[Jeff Fisher]

It. One time.

[Pat Gray]

That's all we did, too.

[Jeff Fisher]

One time.

[Pat Gray]

One time. And that was more than enough.

[Jeff Fisher]

Although I will say the p. That one time, I. We. I flew from Detroit to Dallas.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

On Spirit. And the liked it. Well, I just was that.

[Pat Gray]

That's a little bit of a stretch.

[Jeff Fisher]

The pilot was good.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

The seats, you know, I mean, they are not necessarily fat guy friendly.

[Pat Gray]

I know. They're not skinny guy friendly. Wow. So, okay, so it goes Spirit then.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let me go back to the list.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Give me the top 10. Southwest.

[Jeff Fisher]

So you got Spirit, Southwest, Sky West, Alaska Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways. And I. And I would probably say. I would venture to say, like, probably Hawaiian or Alaska, if they were ranked number one. Maybe I agree with that because, you know, they're just, you know, small regional. JetBlue number 6, Delta number 7, American number 8.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

Frontier number 9, United number 10, and Envoy Air number 11.

[Pat Gray]

I've never even heard of Envoy Air.

[Jeff Fisher]

They used, according to WalletHub, their methodology.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sixteen key metrics across four major categories,

[Pat Gray]

probably on time, time, baggage and departures,

[Jeff Fisher]

animal incidents in flight, comfort and cost and safety. Well, Spirit isn't.

[Pat Gray]

Animal encounters.

[Jeff Fisher]

Animal encounters. Yeah. So.

[Pat Gray]

So, like, how often you've been bitten by a dog when you've been on a flight.

[Jeff Fisher]

Somebody's ferret went mad at United.

[Pat Gray]

I got a snake bite. I'm not reading this airline very high. Tell you that right now. Now.
