Episode Overview

This episode covers major current events affecting the U.S. and the world, focusing especially on Glenn Beck's speech at the "Unite the Kingdom" rally in London, rising economic pressures in America (from inflation to gas prices), the shifting political climate in the United Kingdom, concerns around Iran and foreign policy under Donald Trump, ongoing culture war topics (from transgender athletes to diversity in entertainment), and economic consequences facing everyday Americans. Glenn’s speech themes of Western values and shared Anglosphere heritage serve as a recurring touchstone throughout the episode. The tone is wry, candid, and often critical—with the hosts adding humor and skepticism to discussions of political claims and media narratives.

  • Trump argues American higher ed would collapse without half a million Chinese students—a claim the hosts mock as “impossible to believe.” (53:10–57:57)

• War Weariness: Repeated calls for the Iran conflict to be ended quickly, prioritizing prevention of nuclear armament.

Episode Tone & Takeaways

The hosts, Pat and Jeffy (for Glenn Beck), blend humor, sarcasm, and skepticism in their analysis while opening the phone lines to a largely sympathetic, but not uncritical, audience. They articulate a clear sense of frustration with rising costs, weak political leadership—both domestic and foreign—and cultural shifts they view as hostile to traditional American and Western values. Glenn Beck’s rally speech serves as a symbol of resistance and unity across the Anglosphere. Throughout, the episode boils down to core questions: how much pain is too much in the name of principle? And, can Western democracies restore what made them strong in the face of mounting pressures from within and without?

Transcript

[Commercial Announcer]

You know, it's becoming exhausting buying food from companies that want your money but don't want to tell you where anything is made or anything much about it. You pick up a package, you squint at the label, and somehow you still need a private investigator to figure out what you're actually bringing home for dinner. It shouldn't be like that. Shouldn't be hard. That's one of the reasons I like Good Ranchers.

[Pat Gray]

Pass it on. Crank the game.

[Jeff Fisher]

Glenn Beck is on.

[Pat Gray]

Glenn Beck is on.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

Glenn Beck is on. Yeah. Featuring Ray, Jeff Fisher. Great to have you with us. Thanks for joining us. Glenn was in, of course, Great Britain over the weekend. He was in London.

[Jeff Fisher]

He was. I mean, he was there all week.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, very true. But he. His speech was Saturday. And so it was a pretty big event.

[Jeff Fisher]

Just a tad.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. There was a lot of people. We'll show you the evidence of that. I think it's beyond, just slightly beyond what the police were estimating. What did they say, there were like over a dozen people or something? I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Definitely at least a baker's dozen.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, at least.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, we'll get into that and much more coming up. You know, summer used to mean a couple of cookouts, maybe a road trip, maybe taking the kids somewhere for a few days. Now it feels like every time you walk out the front door, it costs $300, and you're pretty well tapped out before you even fairly started. Gas prices, vacations, summer camps, tuition payments, groceries. It just keeps stacking up. And for a lot of people, the credit card starts feeling like the only way to keep everything moving. It's why I want you to talk to American Financing. They help homeowners look at ways to use their home equity to consolidate high interest debt into one more manageable monthly payment, which could mean real breathing room in your budget again. And what I like is that there is no pressure and no upfront fees. Just real people helping you look at real options. On average, their customers are saving $800 a month. And right now you may even be able to delay two mortgage payments. There's no upfront fees. To find out if you qualify, so call 800-906-2440. That's 800-906-2440. Or just go to americanfinancing.net nmls182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates at 6.799% for well qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms. So in London, there was the big. What were they calling it? The.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

That's what it was. Unite the Kingdom. I knew it was something fairly easy. Unite the Kingdom. Not that hard, though, remember, actually. And some of them were holding signs. Make England great again. So, Miga.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. Whatever.

[Pat Gray]

Maga.

[Jeff Fisher]

Whatever works.

[Pat Gray]

Whatever works. Led by Tommy Robinson. In all of the articles I've seen on this, they also include his real name. Well, I don't know why.

[Jeff Fisher]

And they always. The ones I read also included. He was arrested. He's been arrested all these times. Yeah, that's the point. Yeah, it's the whole point. He's. It was pretty amazing. And I mean, he's.

[Pat Gray]

Well, they try to spin it as negative as they possibly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely, absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

Which you can't stand him.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, no question. And that's exactly why, even when we talked about how they, you know, miscount the crowd, I mean, it was. No way that. Was there 12 people there.

[Pat Gray]

No, I mean, there was more than 12, actually.

[Jeff Fisher]

I can call the count to 18, so. I mean, eight. There was more than 18, I think.

[Pat Gray]

I think so. I think you're right. Yeah. Actually, the lowest. The lowest number I saw was 60,000, estimated by police. But the highest I saw was 110. But it's way beyond either of those.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

I think it was in the millions somewhere.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean. I mean, at least 800,000 to a million and a half. Had to be somewhere in there.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I mean, I'd say that was about the range, but you remember when we did the. We did the thing on the mall.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

Back in 2010. Restoring freedom, love Something. We restored something. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

We were restoring something. Yeah. And we restored it.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know if that was.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, that was not it.

[Pat Gray]

No, it was but we. First one wasn't restoring. No, we restored something else.

[Jeff Fisher]

We did. Still restored. So don't even worry about it.

[Pat Gray]

That's why we don't remember the name, because it was restored and now it's.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's taken care of.

[Pat Gray]

It's irrelevant. We took care of it. But I remember CBS estimated the crowd size on the Mall when we had that rally at 80,000. Do you remember that?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

We had 500,000 people there, and they said it was 80,000. Oh, okay. So anyway, they try. They do their best to diminish these things and make them sound unimportant and a lot less important than they actually, for sure. But they had a bunch of speakers, and Glenn was one of them. And here's what Glenn Beck had to say in London on Saturday.

[Glenn Beck]

I bring you greetings from the United States of America.

[Caller]

Hello.

[Glenn Beck]

It is such an honor to be with you today. It is really an amazing thing to see you all stand up. And I come here to stand with you shoulder to shoulder because of people like Tommy and people like you that have shown the courage to speak and stand when so few will thank you. You have truly paid a price for refusing to ignore what is obviously happening all around us. You refuse to not see what's happening to our streets and to our daughters and to our women in the streets. And it means something as an American to see you stand. And I just want you to know there are millions of Americans all across the other side of the world that see you, hear you, and are praying for you, and are standing with you today. I want to make it clear why I am.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Glenn Beck]

I will tell you that I am here today, like you, not to stand against anything and hate, not to stand for hatred, but to stand for the most revolutionary idea in human history, that all men are created equal. And not because of a king or Parliament says it, but because we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. Those rights cannot be taken from us by government or religion. No ideology can take them away. They are life and liberty. And the right to speak your mind and to speak truth. The right to worship or not worship according to your conscience. Equal justice under the law. These words come from our American Declaration of Independence. But they were born here, on this soil. They were born here in England. The meadows of Runnymede with a Magna Carta. They were born in the English common law that said, even the king is not above the law. In the covenant faith of the Scottish people, the stubborn independence of the freeborn Englishman who said they will never bow to a tyrant. These are the principles that built the freest, most prosperous civilization the world has ever known. And Sharia law cannot abide by it. Sharia law cannot live side by side. It does not see all men that are created equal. It does not practice and protect the right to leave that faith or even criticize that faith. It does not grant equal dignity to every daughter and every son under the law. And where Sharia law advances as a parallel system, our hard fought rights retreat. And history has shown it time and time again. Our shared failure on both sides of the Atlantic is that we forgot where our rights come from. We have treated liberty as something automatic, something in the air that we breathe, instead of the sacred inheritance that needs to be taught and defended and lived by each and every generation. But that forgetting has opened the door. But the good news is, the uniting hope is that it's not too late to remember. We can, beginning now, teach our children again that those God given rights, those truths, are what makes us free. We can demand that every person that comes to our shore or the shores of any country in Western civilization, or those who are already here, that they must live under the same equal law that protects every citizen. One law, one standard of living, one standard for every man and every woman. And if we can do that, then we'll restore what made the west worth restoring and defending. Great Britain and the United States. We are not separate stories. We are branches of the same tree. The tree that is rooted in equality before God and the law. If we stand together on that foundation, not in anger, but in clarity and the courage that you are showing today just for standing here, then our children will inherit, not decline, but they will again inherit a brighter future. A civilization where every person can come here and walk these streets in safety, speak freely and pursue happiness without fear. That is our fight. That is our inheritance. That is what will unite all of us and renew the West. I am so happy to see all of your flags all in front. We have been told that we should be ashamed. We are not ashamed of our heritage. We have learned from our mistakes. We are proud that our shared heritage changed the world, healed the world and fed the world. And as our president, President Lincoln once said, with malice toward none and charity toward all, let us remember truly who we are. Raise your flags and raise your voices. As our President George Washington said at the beginning of our nation, let us raise a standard that the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God, as the scriptures tell us. As for Me and my house, we know who we serve. And as our current president, Donald Trump, might say, make England great again. God bless you. May God help us save our shared republics and civilization. God bless you. Thank you for standing.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, there you go.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, that wasn't as long as The Restoring Honor spe in Washington, D.C. you think, but, you know.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's still pretty good. Everybody was about seven to ten minutes or so because they had a lot of speakers. That might be the shortest speech Glenn's ever given. I didn't realize he had it in him. I really didn't think that was possible, because when I heard it was going to be a short speech, I'm like, yeah, what, an hour and a half, right? That's night. Just 90 minutes.

[Jeff Fisher]

I've cut it down to 70 minutes.

[Pat Gray]

It was really good, though. It. The crowd was so loud. That's the loudest crowd I ever heard.

[Jeff Fisher]

Those people that the camera showed look like they were paying attention, but the audio we were picking up was a lot of crowd noise.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, crowd noise. A lot of talking and stuff. Shut up. I'm trying to speak up here, okay? You rude bastard, shut up.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't have to be here.

[Pat Gray]

You know, I came across the ocean for. First I came across a continent, then I came across an ocean for you. Listen to me.

[Jeff Fisher]

He says that it just gets cut off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But really good speech. And, you know, I. I hope they can get a grip on things because, man, they're further down the line than we are.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, they are.

[Pat Gray]

And we're pretty far down the line. I mean, you're talking about Islamists and you're talking about people who have told you and told us that they're going to take over your country, your culture, your language, your religion.

[Jeff Fisher]

Every house.

[Pat Gray]

And every house, we're told this all the time.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, we are.

[Pat Gray]

Every house will be Muslim. No, no, no. That is untrue. And. But, you know, in England, in Britain, it's happening.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's worse. Even worse. Yeah, it is. It is.

[Pat Gray]

And Keir Starmer is not doing a thing about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, he's all for it.

[Pat Gray]

And so, you know, he just lost his party, just lost a massive election, so. And he doesn't care. Usually that means in their parliamentary system that he has to hold an election and somebody else will be. He'll step down. Somebody else will be elected prime minister.

[Jeff Fisher]

Understand how that all works, But I don't either. But he's holding on. He's dug his heels in, man.

[Pat Gray]

He said the country would fly Apart, essentially, if he were to step down.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Really?

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

No, I think it'd be awesome. That's what happened for the nation. Yeah. All right, we've got more for you coming up in one minute.

Hopefully, you know, we've got some momentum in this country since President Trump to be able to, you know, stand up to the forces that are trying to overtake our culture and our. And our nation. I mean, we've got. We've got Marxists. We have. I mean, in Texas, we've got a real battle with our. With our Senator John Cornyn, who's in a battle in the primary against Ken Paxton, who I'd like to see beat John Cornyn. But then that Republican will have to take on James. James Talarico, who is a nightmare. He purports to be a minister, a pastor. What is he supposedly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure, he went to some school that. That made him some kind of minister.

[Pat Gray]

So he talks a big game on Christianity.

[Jeff Fisher]

Sure does.

[Pat Gray]

But the Christianity he speaks is not familiar to a lot of Christians. Here is some of what he had to say about. Here's his message on being a Christian in political office. Again, I think we have to have a real conversation within the church, within Christian communities, about what is our. Our relationship with power. Because in my mind, as a Christian, power that is not shared is, Is also Domination. And in a democracy, it's all about sharing power. We acknowledge that power is real and that it has consequences, and we commit to sharing that together as a. As a nation, as communities, and I think that's where we have to strive.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Theocracy, in my mind, is the most dangerous form of government. We're not a theocracy either. The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

And.

[Pat Gray]

And that's why our faith in Jesus should lead us away. Theocracy, away from tyranny, away from Christian nationalism, toward a multiracial, multicultural democracy where we can really.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

We love God and fully love our neighbors. Wait a minute. Can we not do that now?

[Jeff Fisher]

I know you can.

[Pat Gray]

I. I love my neighbors. I don't know them, but I. I have a kind of an invisible love. Yeah, but there's nothing like that invisible love, though. No, there's nothing like it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

It's beautiful when you have an invisible love for people that you've never met. It's really powerful. It's important, and it's powerful. But I do love God. We do. There's not a more diverse society in the world.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Than what we have in America. What is he talking about? I mean, it's. It's like there's only one version of people on. I don't know what. What country you're looking at.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

But it's not this one.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I doubt. I mean, Jamie Lynn, Current. Of current Lima. Right. J. Lima. She didn't look like she was ready to push back.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, is that.

[Jeff Fisher]

She gave a couple.

[Pat Gray]

Jamie Lynn.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Jam Lynn.

[Donald Trump]

Car.

[Jeff Fisher]

She. As.

[Pat Gray]

Is she liberal? Because I can't imagine him showing up on a conservative.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's correct.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

She's a billionaire, made a bunch of money in makeup, and she spent a lot of time on the. On the northwest coast of America. Uhhuh. So you make your own mind.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Oh, geez. Yeah. No pushback at all.

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Pat Gray]

But you're not gonna get that from her. No, obviously. And he won't show up on a show like this.

[Jeff Fisher]

Not a chance.

[Pat Gray]

Not in a million.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's the View and Jamie Lynn.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that's about it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But sadly, he leads both Cornyn and Ken Paxton in the polls leading up to the primary, which is what, next week?

[Jeff Fisher]

Next week? Week.

[Pat Gray]

The Corn and Paxton primary is next week. And then, of course, whoever wins that will take on that buffoon in the general election. So say a prayer for Texas, because can't lose Texas to this guy.

[Jeff Fisher]

No way.

[Pat Gray]

No way. More coming up.

[Pat Gray]

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 888-727-BECK if you'd like to get in touch with us during the course of the show and we got something a little bit lighter than we started out with, we've got a fat five coming up.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. Well, that's true. Thank you. And it was. Except that I'm going to start out with telling you wholesale prices had their annual increase in more than three years last month.

[Pat Gray]

So if you have the highest in three years.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's correct. So if you actually do your own shopping, you already know this. I mean, because you are the data and this confirms it. But hey, right? Iran doesn't have nukes, right?

[Pat Gray]

Okay, so there you go.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's that. There is Fort Worth, Texas is now the 10th largest city in America. I looked at if Dallas, if you have put Dallas and Fort Worth together, dfw, the metroplex, we'd be in just in fourth place.

[Pat Gray]

Fourth place.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Just in fourth place. Not. But it's close though. We're, we're gaining on Houston. You still have New York. New York does not have more than 9 million people. Been a long time since I remember New York not having 10 or 9 or 10 million.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. I mean, well, are we talking metro? If we're talking about Dallas, Fort Worth, that's the whole metro area. Right? That's the megaplex.

[Jeff Fisher]

Correct.

[Pat Gray]

So we're not talking about metropolitan New York. Well, because I think just New York city is not 8 or 9 million something.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. 8 and a half.

[Pat Gray]

I think the whole area is 8 million, 20 million.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, that makes sense. This says New York City.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, is 8,584,000.

[Pat Gray]

What do they have for Los Angeles?

[Jeff Fisher]

3,869,000. I mean, and that's second place.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Chicago is third. Two million, seven.

[Pat Gray]

These are just the cities proper. This is not the metro area.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. Because Houston, Houston and DFW are very close. I mean, if we would be taught, you know, our fourth place is 608 and they have 97, 315. So what, 40, 000 maybe, something like that.

[Pat Gray]

Then both, both Dallas and DFW Metroplex and, and Houston are around 8 million though. If you're talking about greater area. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because separately, I mean the Dallas City and Fort Worth are 9 and 10 when you do them separate, which is I found interesting. Austin is 12th. So you look at this, I mean, wow. We have Houston, San Antonio, which is in seventh place. Million five. Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

In the top 12.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Pretty good.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. The cities are growing, no question. And Jacksonville is 11th, which I've citrus.

[Pat Gray]

It does tell you though that Texas is closed now that we've. There's no more vacancy.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's exactly what that tells you. Yeah, we vacancies. We really did want people to come here and enjoy the state.

[Pat Gray]

But yeah, it's too late now.

[Jeff Fisher]

You can't.

[Pat Gray]

Too late. You can.

[Jeff Fisher]

What are you gonna do?

[Pat Gray]

No vacancies.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, there's a, there's a great state, Oklahoma.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, they have vacancies.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really that great of a state.

[Pat Gray]

But yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Still have to go there.

[Pat Gray]

There's vacancy there though.

[Jeff Fisher]

And you know where you get. Louisiana is beautiful.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, this time of year you could go there.

[Jeff Fisher]

Go there. I hear, I hear Mississippi has really cheap land.

[Pat Gray]

It's lovely, so.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's lovely go there if you're on the east coast. I don't know if Florida's cold yet, closed yet or not.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know. No, I think it's pretty, pretty open. It's wide open. Yeah.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. You can try Florida, Texas. So who's the coolest celebrity? 77 year old Samuel L. Jackson, who started more movies that have grossed $100 million or more around the world. Than anyone else. According to Guinness, he's atop the coolest of the famous figures that the majority of Americans actually see as cool. So you have Samuel L. Jackson as number one. Number two, if you look at the chart, is the Beatles. Michael Jordan.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Willie Nelson. Clint Eastwood. The Rock.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Ryan Reynolds.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Serena Williams. The bottom two should not be on this list. Barack Obama. Oh, Meryl Streep.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, man. Oh. I mean, they sneak in.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know. The only good thing about this is that they have. Well, Baraka's tied for no love. Not good at all. Not cool at all. And cool. Both. 34%. Meryl Streep is underwater. She has 24 cool, which I don't know how you. How you get that with Meryl and. But she has 27 not cool. So she's underwater with that. Okay. But the rest of them, I mean, I guess, you know. Sure, sure.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, that's. That's cool.

[Pat Gray]

Like Ryan Reynolds. He's fun. Yeah, he's fun.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. He couldn't get his wife in line, though, with that whole lawsuit thing. It's a little issue.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Should have. Should have told her, Blake, easy. Yeah, it's not going to work. Be on your side, but couldn't do it. So it was a little disappointing for Ryan. Soon to be on the coolness chart will be the next Double oh seven. Amazon. MGM has started auditioning for the next Double oh Seven. They bought in. They brought in Nina Gold to find their bond, and she knows her way around the franchise. She's done Game of Thrones and the Crown and all five Star wars films. So industry chatter has landed on Jacob Ellerty, Australian actor, or Callum Turner, British actor, or Aaron Taylor Johnson, another Brit, as front runners. Though producers had already floated, we talked about it going with an unknown. So the Bercouli family has held creative control of the franchise for over 60 years before they handed the keys over to Amazon last year. And they were afraid that Amazon was going to water it down, but looks like they're going to be. They're going to keep it going and they're going to keep it going with, you know, a fine, a 007 actor that's a male and, you know, good looking instead of a female trans person as the new 007. Because that would be great, wouldn't it? That would be great if there was

[Pat Gray]

actually a. Yeah, I think a trans person should fill every role from now on. All of them. That's kind of where I am right now. Yeah, yeah. Just let them have everyone.

[Jeff Fisher]

So you are actually. We're headed away anyway with the Academy. Yeah, yeah, the awards. And we just loosen up with that.

[Pat Gray]

Just let them all. If you can't find a transactor, don't do the movie. Yeah, don't do it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Because they should be the lead character in.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, listen, if they.

[Pat Gray]

Not every movie.

[Jeff Fisher]

If they're not, you get a check mark against you.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. For. For the movie.

[Jeff Fisher]

And if you don't, you have to have. I watched a show on Netflix, shoot Death by Lightning about. About President James Garfield, his. His death and the guy that shot him and everything, but that sounds riveting. It's a four episode show.

[Pat Gray]

Sorry I missed that.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not bad. No, you.

[Pat Gray]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna track it down

[Jeff Fisher]

in your timeline.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

But anyway, there's an opening scene where. And it shows Chicago and it shows a. A black man with. With one leg walking with canes and then a female and then another black guy and there's a, like a Chinese guy off to the side and just a. One little white guy and they're just walking down the street. I'm like, that was not Chicago. I'm sorry.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, that was. No, that was diversity Chicago in the 1800s. Yeah, absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm sorry. No, but, yeah, I got it. It's just.

[Pat Gray]

It's great. Yeah. They have to. They think they have to. So they do. I mean, we're. My wife and I are watching this Hallmark series, which is it. It's actually good.

[Donald Trump]

Is it?

[Pat Gray]

It's called the Way.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, man, that sounds so much better than Death by Lightning and the James Garfield.

[Pat Gray]

It is better than James Garfield story. I'm pretty confident of that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't think so. Go ahead.

[Pat Gray]

But of course, you know, Hallmark, some time ago, years ago, decided that they were going to play the LGBTQIA IA2 game. And so they are. And so they've got a lesbian couple in there and a trans person in there.

[Jeff Fisher]

Of course.

[Pat Gray]

Made sure.

[Jeff Fisher]

You have to.

[Pat Gray]

Made sure they told everybody that their you have to pronouns were not she or him. It was they. Them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

They, them.

[Jeff Fisher]

They have to. So many shows.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, well, good for you.

[Jeff Fisher]

And it's not just Hallmark. It's the. No, it's all of the other networks. I mean, they. Absolutely. If it's a. If it's a new show coming from a network. Yeah, someone will be gay. But that's not enough trans.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And you have to have a multiracial lgbtq, no question, IA plus together.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

That just has to happen.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that's some of the shows I really like. So I just let it go. I'm like, of course. Of course they're gay.

[Pat Gray]

I know. Of course I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. That's. That's the way they are. Because everyone in my neighborhood is exactly like that. Even my invisible love that I have for my neighbors, exactly like that.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, good.

[Jeff Fisher]

Exactly. So our neighborhood is right.

[Pat Gray]

Because every neighborhood has to have 0.7% get together trans people.

[Jeff Fisher]

When we get together, there's always the handicapped black.

[Pat Gray]

Right, right, right. Have to.

[Jeff Fisher]

The female and the handicapped male, always.

[Pat Gray]

It's America.

[Jeff Fisher]

Have to.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mentioned this on our daily morning show. Pack Ray Unleashed airs right before this show, actually 7 to 9 Eastern on Blaze TV and other platforms. Podcast is also available. Wherever you get your podcast, please subscribe and enjoy. Pack Ray Unleashed. I'm not worried about this, but I am a little apprehensive. Tonight, at around 6pm Eastern, the asteroid 2026 JH2 is going to shoot over Earth's surface.

[Pat Gray]

Catchy name, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

They name them good.

[Pat Gray]

They do.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. They think of it. That's a scientist at those big telescope. They just. Oh, you know what? That's 2026 JH2.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what it is. That's what it is. So that's going to be. It's going to fly past us at 56,000 miles. So that's between us and the moon for sure. They claim that there's. It's closer to us than a handful of spacecraft, but there's no suggestion that these spacecrafts are at risk. Okay. And it's going to fly above the satellites. Okay. So.

[Pat Gray]

All right, that's.

[Jeff Fisher]

If you say so. And it will not impact the planet.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

I hope you're right.

[Jeff Fisher]

You say so. It's. It's apparently 115ft across. They really don't know. They're just guessing, but they believe that that's how big it is. That's like the size of, I don't know, a blue whale that we have on this planet. So.

[Pat Gray]

So even if it hit us, it wouldn't be.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is not a planet killer.

[Pat Gray]

No, but it would do some damage,

[Jeff Fisher]

you know, like if it hit your house.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that would be some damage.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I would not enjoy that.

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Pat Gray]

Even though my house is in disarray right now, I wouldn't appreciate. Really.

[Jeff Fisher]

Start again.

[Pat Gray]

No, no, thanks.

[Jeff Fisher]

Just start again.

[Pat Gray]

No, no.

[Jeff Fisher]

Fill in the hole we're building right back up again.

[Pat Gray]

No, thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

So, I mean, Keep I eyes up to the sky. 6:00pm Eastern just, I mean it's going to be fascinating to see it fly by. If indeed it does fly by.

[Pat Gray]

We see it in the daylight because 6 o' clock, it's not going to be dark, you know.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, we'll see. We should be able to see it. I mean, okay, those things are pretty bright.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're moving pretty fast through space and they were one story. I said say they believe that it, it goes around the sun and goes around every three and a half years or whatever. But I don't remember this. Not half years ago.

[Pat Gray]

Not that close.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And this is the first time. I mean this, it was the one planetary site telescoping in Arizona that was spotted it so it was like oh hey, oh there's a, there it is, there's a, there's an asteroid there. It looks like it's going to be pretty close to Earth. Maybe we should tell somebody. Yeah, they did. I mean so I mean I know it's a big sky.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Keep an eye on. All documentaries have told us that.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

But just I hope they.

[Pat Gray]

Well, the documentary Armageddon told us that that's exactly right. Really big sky.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's why they didn't see it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Begging your pardon. Yeah, Mr. President, but it's a big ass guy. So.

[Pat Gray]

All right, that's quote triple eight, 727. BECK More coming up. Glenn Beck.

[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 super sure.com beck. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

[Pat Gray]

Preston. All right. Welcome. California. And they just can't. It can't get it through their skulls in California. Stop with the men in girls competitions.

[Jeff Fisher]

I thought we were. I thought we were done with that.

[Pat Gray]

No, we're not. We're absolutely not. They just had a track meet. It was one of the state championships.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

The CIF Southern Section finals.

[Jeff Fisher]

I love those.

[Pat Gray]

On Saturday where a boy, a male, one high jump, long jump, triple jump in the.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, an athlete.

[Pat Gray]

Yep. So then.

[Jeff Fisher]

But he won this under. Under the girls heading.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. Yes. AB Hernandez won three competitions. So then the photos and video of the three podium ceremonies, one of which showed Hernandez and the top female finisher sharing the podium's top spot, went viral on social media, prompting backlash against the CIF among politicians, including Tim Burchett, Nancy Mace and. Right. Plus Riley Gaines and Jennifer say. So Tim Burchett saw the photo and just wrote, I just threw up.

[Jeff Fisher]

What a hater.

[Pat Gray]

And then Nancy. Nancy Mace. This is infuriating. Yeah. Seeing the. The male with the female top finisher. But, I mean, this male won the event was, I don't know, triple jump or the long jump by almost two feet. Like it was. You don't win by those kinds of margins normally.

[Jeff Fisher]

And it probably doesn't say in the story, but I like to know where he matched up with the actual boys.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I would. I'd love to know. Riley Gaines said, if you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls event, you've already admitted you know, he isn't a girl. Thank you. And that his participation is unfair. I mean, well, isn't that the truth?

[Jeff Fisher]

They will just. Look, we just to do that because he's. He's different. He's special.

[Pat Gray]

He's special. Yeah, he's special. I mean, if I'm the parents of these girls, how pissed would you be? Oh, you know, they work their whole lives to get to this point, and then some male takes it from them.

[Jeff Fisher]

Do we pull them out? We just say that we're not doing it?

[Pat Gray]

I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

Honestly, that. That. That's happened.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

And hasn't helped.

[Jeff Fisher]

They've paid the price for it, too.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yep. So then they just get shut out. Out of all events at that point. All right. Triple eight. 727. Beck. More coming up.

[Caller]

Sam, crank the game.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

Glenn Beck is.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Featuring pat and Jeffy today, 888 727. Beck, I want to know, is it just me this weekend or. Or was President Trump doing things that, I don't know, we all loved and admired?

[Jeff Fisher]

He did some good things.

[Pat Gray]

He did some good.

[Caller]

Good.

[Pat Gray]

He did some good things, yes, but he did some things that I wasn't exactly crazy about. We'll get into that coming up. You can learn a lot about a person by walking through their house. You see the height marks on the wall where they measured their kids growing up, the scratch on the floor from the time somebody dragged a Christmas tree stand through the living room. You know, the back patio where a hundred barbecues happen. A house is never just a house. That's why buying or selling one is a lot more emotional than people sometimes expect it to be. And it's also why the person helping you through that process matters so much. That's why Glenn started Real Estate Agents I Trust. He wanted to build a network of professionals who understand that they're not just. Just moving property around on a spreadsheet. They're helping people through some of the biggest transitions of their lives. Because for most people out there, home is one of the most important words in the English language. So please check out realestateagentsitrust.com and they'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in a tough market. The name really says it all. That's Real Estate Agents Agents I trust dot com. All right. President Trump had a busy weekend. He was talking about a lot of different things. One of them Iran. And here's what he had to say about Iran. You like to talk about cards.

[Donald Trump]

It seems like they're playing with a bad deck. To your point, no deck, but they're still playing. No. The only thing they have going is a fake press. They know how well we're doing militarily. And then at the request of a very nice group of people from Pakistan who are very close to Iran, I didn't go that final. They said, could you stop? We're going to make a deal. And we really had the confines of a deal. No nuclear. They were going to give us the dust, nuclear dust. They've got all the everything we wanted. And every time they make a deal, deal, they. The next day, it's like, we didn't have that conversation. And that's taken place about five times. There's something wrong with them, actually. They're crazy. And you know What? Because of that, they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Because the president of China agrees with you on that. He agrees with me on that. He agrees with me that he wants to see it end. He'd like to see it end. He would like to help. If he wants help, that's great, but we don't need help. And, and you know the problem with help, when somebody helps you, they always want something on the other side. That's the way help work.

[Pat Gray]

That's. That's probably true.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Especially in his business.

[Pat Gray]

So I, you know, I think it's time to stop warning them and time to start just following up on you.

[Jeff Fisher]

He said the clock was ticking, right?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, he did.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what he put out this weekend. He said the clock is ticking if. If you. I don't know what the exact message was, but it meant that he was going to destroy them.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, let's do that. Yeah. Time is of the essence. I agree with that. Get moving fast or there won't be anything left of them. I mean, that wording is.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's for Iran. The clock is ticking and they better get moving fast or there won't be anything left of them. Time is of the essence. That's what he said.

[Jeff Fisher]

So let's do it.

[Pat Gray]

Put the hammer down.

[Jeff Fisher]

If that's true, do.

[Pat Gray]

Let's do it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Do it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. There was more, though. He talked about Iran's deal making.

[Donald Trump]

They're afraid to make a deal. They don't know how to make a deal. They've never been put in this position before. So you're going to hold out until they do? Well, I'm going to do what's right. I have to do what's right. But the straight should be open, right? It should be open. Look, see, to stop the straight is very easy. You only have to. To do is say we dropped a mine in the strait someplace, you know, see, you're at a little disadvantage, but that's okay. The strait will be open. They will not have a nuclear weapon, and the world will go on. And you will see gasoline prices drop. Energy prices generally drop like. No, don't forget they have a lot of boats that are loaded up with oil that are going to bring the oil out as soon as this is over. And I think it's going to end fast. They've been holding up the world for many, many years with the strait. You know, they've used this many, many times. They said, we'll close the strait. They've closed it in the past. They use it as A weapon. They're not using it as a weapon with me. And what they did and actually what President Xi said last night, sort of smiling about it, he said, well, they close the strait and then you close them. But you think they're going to capitulate sometimes. Yeah. All the shoes. I have.

[Jeff Fisher]

No.

[Donald Trump]

No doubt.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, good.

[Pat Gray]

I hope it's very soon.

[Jeff Fisher]

Me too.

[Pat Gray]

And it would be nice if we didn't have to hit them again, but it kind of seems like we're going to.

[Jeff Fisher]

If that's all they understand.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Is, you know, seems like it is the power side.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Then show it to them again.

[Jeff Fisher]

Do it.

[Pat Gray]

Because, you know, gas prices are through the roof and that's making, you know, the. Everything else that's delivered by trucks that use gas go up in price.

[Jeff Fisher]

And a lot of items, you know, in the stores that we get other than. Other than the goods. But I mean, the packaging and the plastic bags and I mean, everything that's stuck.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

We get that over through shipping and so let's wrap this thing up. Let's go. I mean, we were told it was four or five weeks. Then we were told, well, you know, as long as it takes. Won't take long. It's not going to be as long. You're questioning me about this?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're not along as long as Vietnam. How long is Iraq?

[Pat Gray]

Not as long as 100 year war. Okay, so it is not that. Compared to the 100 year war, this is nothing. A blink of an eye.

[Jeff Fisher]

Nothing. All right, well, you're right. You're 100. Right. And I apologize for even thinking about. Thank you. Thinking about questioning you on this.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Okay, then don't about that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let's. Let's. And he, you know, he said in the past that he thinks that they. The mind thing is kind of B.S. you know, one mind. And then I got to shut everything down. And he said in the past he doesn't even think there are any. So. Okay, well, then let's.

[Pat Gray]

Then we heard last week, was it from Pete Hagseth, I think, who said we've destroyed 90% of the mines that were in the straight. Remember that?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. That was either headset or centcom guy.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. It's one of them that said we just. We've destroyed mine, so there must have been some. And now we've destroyed them. And now we know there's 10 left. Let's destroy them too. If we know there's 10 more, we must know where they are because we've seen them.

[Commercial Announcer]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Destroy them. Them Right, right.

[Pat Gray]

So I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

And how much. And he. I don't think there was ever a number. Right. We don't know if there was 10 and we've blown up nine.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, don't know. Don't know. But he also talked about China and Taiwan.

[Donald Trump]

I'm not looking to have somebody go independent and, you know, we're supposed to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war. I'm not looking for that. I want them to cool down. I want China to cool down. But you're waiting on approving billions of dollars of weapons for Taiwan. Is that moving forward? Well, I haven't approved it yet. We're going to see what happens. What do you look, I may do it, I may not do it. Yeah. What's your, your hinge? Well, I'm not going to say that, but I may do it. I may not do it. But we're not looking to have wars. And if you kept it the way it is, I think China is going to be okay with, with that. But we're not looking to have somebody say, let's go independent because the United States is backing us.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Okay, There's Taiwan discussed. I don't fully understand the Taiwan situation because our official US Policy is one China is the one China policy.

[Jeff Fisher]

We don't, we don't mean that when we talk to Taiwan.

[Pat Gray]

I guess not. I guess not.

[Jeff Fisher]

But we're saying that. But. But not really. Not with your. Not really.

[Pat Gray]

But what does that mean? If China attacks Taiwan, then we don't have. Because we don't have any treaty with them. That means if you're attacked, we come to your rescue militarily. I don't believe that exists.

[Jeff Fisher]

We have a lot of troops there,

[Pat Gray]

and we have, you know, I think we'll provide them weapons, but I don't think we get involved militarily, necessarily.

[Jeff Fisher]

So for sure, Trump doesn't want to do that.

[Pat Gray]

He doesn't want to do that. I don't want to do that. Does anybody want to do that, go to war with China over Taiwan, Want to do that?

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

No, I don't think anybody wants that. Then the other issue, though, with Taiwan or with China, is something that affects us here in America a little bit more than the rest. Here he is talking about the Chinese students coming to America.

[Donald Trump]

I could tell them, I don't want any students is a very insulting thing to say to a country. They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China. But if you don't have those students, good students by the way, if you don't and we do another thing, you know, if they're good and they want to stay in America, we won't give them a green card and things like that, you know, and that not only them, but other, other countries. But if you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it.

[Pat Gray]

All right, pause it for a second. All right, so the president seems to be saying there that without Chinese students, American universities collapse and go out of existence. Sorry, I don't believe that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I find that hard to believe.

[Pat Gray]

I think it's impossible to believe. There's no way that's true.

[Jeff Fisher]

There may be some universities that go out of business and boy, what a shame that would be.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, based on what American universities are teaching our kids, the propagandists that they are now, I'm not sure that would be a bad thing, frankly.

[Jeff Fisher]

We can't have that. But.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, well, you think, okay, there's, there's 6,000American universities.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

If 500,000 people go away and aren't part of those universities anymore, that's an average of. And it's not going to work out this way. But it's 83 students per university.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, well. And they're not evenly distributed like that. There's probably more at Harvard, more at Yale. But I'm sorry, if Harvard loses a thousand students, the shut down, they've got a 53 billion dollar

[Jeff Fisher]

war chest.

[Pat Gray]

War chest that, a fund that can fund them forever. So they're not going out of business, right? They're not going out of business. University of Texas has $50 billion in, in their fund. I mean these, these universities have, they've

[Jeff Fisher]

got fortunes buried underneath their, their, their main buildings. That's what they built.

[Pat Gray]

The university Texas absolutely does. Yeah, yeah. Literally has gold. So they're not going out of business if a few students leave. And even if they did again, so what.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Isn't the, isn't the opportunity for them to spy and send information back to China worse then what would happen if they all go back home?

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. And I realize, you know, he thinks it would be an insult. Well.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, well.

[Jeff Fisher]

So I don't, I don't mean it to be an insult, but we've, I'm

[Pat Gray]

insulted by the spying that's going on from the Chinese.

[Jeff Fisher]

Anyway. He addresses that a little bit later in this clip.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, let's, let's see the rest of this.

[Donald Trump]

The ones that won't be heard are the top schools. The top schools will do fine, but your Lower schools, your lower. The ones that don't do quite as well. Those two, they'll be dying all over the place.

[Pat Gray]

I don't believe that.

[Donald Trump]

I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture and many of them want to stay here. I think it's good. Not everybody agrees with me. And it doesn't sound like a very conservative.

[Pat Gray]

Nobody agrees with you. It's not.

[Donald Trump]

I'm as conservative. I'm a conservative guy. I'm really a common sense guy. I think more than a conservative guy. I think MAGA is common sense. You know, people understand. We want strong borders, we want strong military, we want good education, we want low interest rates. You know, we want.

[Pat Gray]

But I think people would argue, they worry about. Do they have nefarious.

[Donald Trump]

Sure, I know. And we worry about that. And honestly, you know, they do things to us and we do things to them. It's, it's. It's a very, very fine line, the whole thing.

[Pat Gray]

It's really not.

[Donald Trump]

So there's a thousand students, and

[Jeff Fisher]

our

[Donald Trump]

university system does great. You know, it does great. You want to screw it up, take a half a million students out, and you're gonna. You're gonna see bankruptcies at the lower end of good colleges, but they're not known or whatever. You're going to have a lot of problems. So it's something.

[Pat Gray]

I'm always joking. Push back.

[Donald Trump]

It's a very insulting thing to tell a country. Oh, my gosh, we don't want your people in our schools. I mean, it really is. Now I'll have people say, oh, that's a terrible thing, you know.

[Pat Gray]

Is it?

[Donald Trump]

It is a very insulting thing.

[Pat Gray]

So even if it is, and so

[Donald Trump]

it's very interesting, it's. Something didn't come up today. Came up last time. Came up last time. But I will tell you that school systems don't want that to happen because you won't have much of a school system.

[Pat Gray]

Wow. I don't. I don't know.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's amazing that he's gonna have. He's gonna have to convince me more.

[Pat Gray]

I don't. I don't think he could convince me on that one. I mean, they spy on us, we spy on them. No, I mean, how many Americans are in Chinese universities right now spying on China?

[Jeff Fisher]

Half a million. Is that a number right or wrong?

[Pat Gray]

I think it's wrong.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I think it's wrong.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

I would guess about five rather than 500, 000. Maybe five. So I don't know. We should look into that. How many American students.

[Jeff Fisher]

I think we did at one time, didn't we?

[Pat Gray]

I think are in Chinese universities.

[Jeff Fisher]

It was.

[Pat Gray]

Was it shockingly a couple hundred or something? It was 250 or something. Seems right.

[Jeff Fisher]

That, that sounds right.

[Pat Gray]

But they're not, you know, that you think they'd be. Have any problem at all with saying that Americans can't enter Chinese universities? No, they wouldn't have any problem at all with that.

[Jeff Fisher]

No. And the insult. So.

[Pat Gray]

And, oh, well, I mean, I know a, a good, a good sort of relationship with Xi Jinping and that's fine, but if he can't take it that, you know, it's 500. Half a million Chinese students can't flood into our universities. Oh, well, yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And then listen.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, well.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I want to apologize because there we have more opportunities to spy on China now.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're up to 800.

[Pat Gray]

800. All right. So we have approximately, approximately 800 to their 500,000.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay, that's a discrepancy. Is a little, A little much.

[Pat Gray]

A little much?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, a little much.

[Pat Gray]

It's a lot much. Maybe it's just us. I don't know if everybody's okay with Chinese students flooding into our American university.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I'm sorry, I don't believe that, that universities would fail. No, I don't either. I don't. And if they do a second. I mean, I'm kind of okay with it. We can use the, we can use the buildings and the property for other purposes.

[Pat Gray]

Triple eight, seven two, seven, Beck. More coming up in one minute. Fortune favors the bold. That phrase describes something important about the American spirit. Unfortunately, there's another group of people who live by that same philosophy. Criminals. Because it takes certain kind of boldness to walk up to somebody else's house and decide you have a right to what's inside it. And these days, there are plenty of people out there who would love nothing more than to break into your home, steal your property, and turn your life upside down. That's why your home needs a real protection. And that's why I want you to look at Simplisafe. Simply Safe has built a home security system that helps protect your home 24 hours a day.

[Caller]

[Pat Gray]

Jeffy for Glenn today. Triple eight seven two seven Beck. We also have President Trump on American's financial situation. He kind of doubled down on what he already said about the economy. Here he is on the economy.

[Donald Trump]

Numbers are, you can imagine Democrats and political pundits. The people get it. Jumped all over this. People get it. That you made the other day. You were asked on the when you

[Pat Gray]

were leaving to what extent are American

[Caller]

financial situations motivating you to make a deal?

[Pat Gray]

Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters that I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about American financial situation.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't think about anybody.

[Pat Gray]

I think about one thing. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

[Donald Trump]

That's all that's right. That's a perfect statement. So make it again. But you can imagine how many people stop the sound bite at I don't think about America. They play the situation. So what's your response to that framework? It's very simple. When people hear me say it, everybody agrees. Short term pain. It's going to be short term pain. But the pain is much less than people thought.

[Pat Gray]

Is it though? Is it much less than you thought? I'd like to note. 727 Beck trip 8800727 Beck. Is it much less than you thought it would be? The pain here? The. Did you think gas prices would be higher than this?

[Jeff Fisher]

Do I need to call in? Because I would say, I would say. No, it's not.

[Pat Gray]

It's not less than you thought I expected?

[Jeff Fisher]

No. Yeah. The gasoline prices are higher than I expected. The food prices are higher. Expected.

[Pat Gray]

Oh wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

And there are. There are a number of things at all costs as a matter of fact.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, higher. Higher than you thought they would be. All right. Maybe it's just something. We're the only ones that thought it would be less than this. It's possible. 727 Beck 88727 Beck. Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today when

[Commercial Announcer]

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

[Pat Gray]

All right, it's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. He had the big thing in London over the weekend, and we played his speech in the first hour. I think it. I think it went pretty well. There was a lot of people at the United Kingdom thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

A whole bunch of people.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know how many. They. They estimated 110,000. It was way over that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Way more.

[Pat Gray]

I think. I think it was ten times that. I think it was somewhere between. What did you say? Eight hundred and one and a half million.

[Jeff Fisher]

One and a half? Yeah. I certainly look.

[Pat Gray]

Sounds about right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, I, I didn't count every head.

[Pat Gray]

You didn't count every.

[Jeff Fisher]

At the video. I was just kind of guessing.

[Pat Gray]

Well, but I guess we can't count on you to count people. So they were expecting 3 million. I don't know if they got that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know about that.

[Pat Gray]

But they had a lot of people.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. And it certainly. If I were a leader of a country who has done nothing but besmirch these people.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I would be a little concerned.

[Jeff Fisher]

I would be as well.

[Pat Gray]

And that's why they're trying to minimize the turnout.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

By saying I was anywhere from sixty thousand to a hundred ten and it was less than last year. No, I don't. I don't think so.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know about that.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think so. Not that I paid that attention to it last year.

[Jeff Fisher]

So that's still a whole bunch of people. It's a lot of people that are unhappy yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yep. You're ruining their country and they're showing up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

In.

[Jeff Fisher]

They want to put large numbers and, you know, it's not. For some people, it's not going to end well.

[Pat Gray]

And they just lost an election. The, you know, Starmer's party just lost the election. So.

[Jeff Fisher]

Get out.

[Pat Gray]

People are. Get out. People are pissed.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Becky, go to Joshua in North Carolina. Hey, Joshua, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeff.

[Caller]

Hey there, gentlemen. You'd ask the question about how we feel about. Oh, well, you know, the temporary pain from the war. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. I voted for Trump three times now. I did not vote for inflation and higher gas prices. I'm paying like $4 and 20 cents a G. And here's the thing.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

If. If that was it. If that was it, maybe. But no Epstein Klein arrest. No political insider trading arrest. No Russia collusion arrest. No Doge fraud discovery arrest. Hell, Nick Shirley found serious.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're doing something about that.

[Caller]

Pardon?

[Jeff Fisher]

The Nick Shirley stuff. I mean, that his.

[Pat Gray]

They're trying to do something there.

[Jeff Fisher]

At least J.D.

[Pat Gray]

vance on that. So, you know, maybe somewhere down the line we get some satisfaction on that.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know that we're. You know, I'd like to see some arrest. You're right. That. That fraud needs to be. It needs to be brought to the law. But I think JD's on that. Right? We. I heard him. Yeah. But this weekend that he's on it.

[Pat Gray]

But, I mean, you make good points.

[Caller]

Look at the Doge fraud.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Nothing.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

I know if something was going to happen, they would have done it with Doge. So I am done with Trump. I am done. He had his time. He dropped the ball. He started a new war, and he raised my prices for everything that's done.

[Pat Gray]

Who do you like for 28, man.

[Caller]

I'm thinking, well, definitely not J.D. vance. I don't trust him.

[Jeff Fisher]

Really.

[Caller]

I'm really thinking Ron DeSantis. I mean, it's.

[Pat Gray]

I like the way you're thinking. I've been thinking Ron DeSantis for a long time. Yeah.

[Caller]

He's Marco Rubio. Yes. But I prefer Ron DeSantis. He's. He's got a track record. I have family in Florida and. And what I have seen from Ron DeSantis is exactly what we need for the rest of the United States.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks, Joshua. Appreciate it. Yeah. People are feeling the pain.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

You know, I mean, here's a little reminder about some of the things that Doge Discovered Americans have been funding the following 5.5 million to LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda.

[Caller]

Them.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, okay. 800,000 for transgender people, sex workers and their clients in Nepal. Nepal. 3.6 for LGBTQ activism. Free training in pastry cooking pastry. Psychological psychosocial counseling, social. A cyber cafe and the dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti. And 1.1 million produce gender transformation in Diverse Social and Behavior change report, which

[Glenn Beck]

advocates, again, quote, again, gender blindness.

[Pat Gray]

Gender blindness. Okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

So, I mean, you don't want to pay for those things.

[Jeff Fisher]

You don't matter with you. We all are dealing with the higher prices for everything. Right. And we just, we just. You have to, you have to do it. You have to deal with it. I, I'm, I'm. I not crazy about it, but I've found a way to, to pay for the gas back and forth. To work, to pay for food for my family is. I treat it just like the government treats it. Either you don't need to budget. You just.

[Pat Gray]

What a great way to go.

[Jeff Fisher]

You just do it.

[Pat Gray]

So you just don't have a budget budget. That way you don't have to follow

[Jeff Fisher]

one to follow one. And so that's brilliant.

[Pat Gray]

That is. Everything works brilliant. It just works out. Yeah, you just make it work. Right. You just keep buying stuff on credit. That's what the government does, and they've taught us that really? Well.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's not all on credit.

[Pat Gray]

No. Okay, well, good. Right. Like some of what the government does isn't on credit.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Pat Gray]

And we're only 39 trillion in debt.

[Jeff Fisher]

We need to let that go.

[Pat Gray]

That's what President Trump thinks, too.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely. Don't worry. Go back to zero on that.

[Pat Gray]

That.

[Jeff Fisher]

So people stop complaining about it.

[Pat Gray]

Well, what we can do is wait until we start printing so much money that, you know, it takes $40 trillion to buy a loaf of bread, and then we take that 40 trillion and instead of buying a loaf of bread, we, we pay off the Chinese and everybody else we owe money to. Yeah, we pay off the debt.

[Jeff Fisher]

Forget about the debtors.

[Pat Gray]

Great. So, yeah, but we just give them funny money and everything's fine. That's what we'll do. Let's go to Greg in Minnesota. Greg, welcome.

[Caller]

Yeah, so you guys were asking about the gas prices being higher, and they're certainly higher than I expected, lasting longer than I expected, but me, too. No, Iran's always going to be a threat. So if we can neutralize some of that now, great, let's get it done.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't disagree with that either.

[Pat Gray]

I don't either, but, but yeah, it's, it's very difficult though, for, for people who are, you know, struggling to pay bills anyway and now you've got $4 and $5 a gallon.

[Jeff Fisher]

It's difficult for.

[Pat Gray]

Really tough.

[Jeff Fisher]

Me as a.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks, Greg.

[Jeff Fisher]

Just a, you know, a guy who doesn't budge anything is just, you know, trying to get through here in America. It's difficult for me to understand how a country that I'm told has more oil than the rest of the places around the country, and I'm told that most of that oil over there that's sitting on Carg island, that's just overflowing, goes to China and Europe. How that affects me having to pay $4 a gallon for gas.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Or more.

[Jeff Fisher]

It shouldn't and yet it does. And I haven't figured that one out.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, if we're self sustaining oil wise, then it shouldn't affect us.

[Jeff Fisher]

Correct.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

I haven't figured that one quite out yet. So.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that's a hard one. That's a tough one. So, Daniel in North Carolina, welcome.

[Caller]

All these points are valid. If the true priority, however, is keeping Iran from having a nuclear weapon, then we should still focus on that as the true priority. And one would hope that the rest of the free world could, could all agree upon that and find a way to stop that from being such a threat. Because if they had developed a nuclear weapon, from the information that we're getting, we're all overloaded with that. But from the information that we're getting, it appears that Iran would probably use that to decimate thousands, possibly millions of people. And then that would, yes, that would make things a lot more turbulent than they are right now in 2026. It's very true, the information that we're being given.

[Pat Gray]

Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

No, I think you're right. Appreciate it, Daniel. Thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because of the, you know, some of the distrust of, of Trump, you know, we have to, there's plenty, there's plenty of countries that we thought were our friends that have kind of showed their true colors to us.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Germany, France.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Great Britain.

[Jeff Fisher]

All of them. Yeah, all of them.

[Pat Gray]

All of our NATO allies.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yep.

[Pat Gray]

Have pretty much shown where they really are, which is interesting. And I, and I really think it's true. If Iran had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. I think they would have used it already Questioned on Israel.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. No question.

[Pat Gray]

They've got, no, they've got no problem in dropping a nuke on it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Israel, because they, they want to destroy Israel.

[Pat Gray]

They don't believe they should exist.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. So that would be.

[Jeff Fisher]

They have absolutely no qualms about doing that.

[Pat Gray]

Could it reach us? I don't know. Probably not right away, but they would eventually develop a.

[Jeff Fisher]

We have. Do we have Jews living in this country?

[Pat Gray]

I think we do. Yeah. So I think we do.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's an issue.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, sure is. And they consider us the Great Satan. They've made that pretty clear over the years.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

So, yeah. It is unacceptable.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

For Iran to have a nuclear weapon,

[Jeff Fisher]

and it should have been handled long before this. President Trump is right.

[Pat Gray]

And he's right about that. It's been pushed down, it's been killed, kicked down the street over and over and over again.

[Jeff Fisher]

So he picked it up, he said, enough is enough. And so, I mean, I got. Got to believe that's. That's good. Now let's do it. But let's not wait. I don't. I don't think I would venture to say. I don't know if there's a poll out there. There may be, but are Americans for or against just crushing, finishing this thing? Yes.

[Pat Gray]

I. I don't know if there's been a poll on that, but I would guess they're for finishing the job, right? Yeah. Now that we're there, we have to finish the job. You can't just leave it undone because.

[Jeff Fisher]

Because now you're doing what everybody else did.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, exactly. And you remember how Obama handled this? He'd left him piles of cash on the tarmac. What was it, almost $2 billion here? Will you stop now? No, no, no, we won't. Thanks for the 2 billion.

[Jeff Fisher]

If somebody gives me 2 billion, I'll stop whatever they want me to stop. I think I'm clear about that.

[Pat Gray]

Me, too. I'd be okay with that, so. But Nobody's offering no 2 billion.

[Jeff Fisher]

I'm willing to. You know what? I'm willing to negotiate it down to a billion. Just one billion. And I'll stop whatever you want me to stop.

[Pat Gray]

All right. Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck. More coming up.

[Pat Gray]

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 888727 Beck talking about. All right, are you surprised that prices are up because President Trump believes you're not. He, he believed that there would, that you knew there's going to be some short term pain.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Right. And it's not as bad as you thought it would be. Is that accurate?

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And how, how long are you okay with putting up with it?

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Four dollar and five a gallon gas in California. In some places it's over $6 a gallon. Right. Which is really painful.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, when I'm feeling good about pumping $3 and 78 cents a gallon.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Into my car, that's a problem.

[Pat Gray]

When it was in the low twos in Texas. Not that, what, three weeks?

[Jeff Fisher]

Not very long.

[Pat Gray]

A few weeks ago it was two. It was 2:30, 2:20.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, it was that, but it was, it was gradually, it was getting down to two. Yeah, it was, we were close. I mean, we were close to that.

[Pat Gray]

Now it's about four. It's close to four.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. Some places over.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Gia in Virginia. Welcome. Hi.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hi.

[Caller]

Hi. All right. First, the gems are actually taxing up a lot of stuff too. So that's adding to.

[Jeff Fisher]

No question.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. All right, thank you.

[Pat Gray]

And I guess that's, that's what she had to say. That's the entirety of it right there. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. She does have more.

[Jeff Fisher]

She's still there.

[Pat Gray]

All right, go ahead.

[Caller]

I'm sorry. Yeah, I just wanted to start with that. But yeah, I'm not happy about the gas, but I, I did, you know, post. Basically I stopped with the money part for now because if we delay anything and wait until later. It'll be worse.

[Pat Gray]

No, that's right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

It's absolutely correct.

[Caller]

And I. And as far as the people coming in, the Chinese people, I mean, there is totally no balance on that. 800 to 500,000. That's crazy. Plus, we already. We already voted for him, and I do love Trump, but we already voted for him to deport. So we don't really need to be bringing more people in. Thank you. We need to be helping them out.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Pat Gray]

Exactly. Right. Thanks.

[Jeff Fisher]

100, right? Yeah. I mean, think I'm all about that. Net zero. Immigration. Stop it all. Every single person, every human that wants to come into the United States, stop them.

[Pat Gray]

I'm there on illegal immigration. Stop all illegal immigration. I'm still okay with legal immigrants.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's great.

[Pat Gray]

But you're not even there.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's cute. No, shut it down.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

We need to. We need to shut it down. So none of it can be called racist xenophobe. No.

[Pat Gray]

Come here from Norway is what you're saying, man. We want you here, but we can't. Sorry. We're trying to fix our country. We're closed for a while now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Closed.

[Pat Gray]

How long do you envision that lasting?

[Jeff Fisher]

I think it takes 40 years. I think it takes 40 years.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

For it to.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. You know, so we can't clean that up in a year or two. It's got to be a 40 year process.

[Jeff Fisher]

All right. 50. 50.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And then. Okay. And then Norway. Come back to us.

[Pat Gray]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Come back to us.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah. Everywhere else, too. Or just Norway?

[Jeff Fisher]

No, I don't. Else.

[Commercial Announcer]

But you brought up.

[Pat Gray]

You said, okay, people.

[Jeff Fisher]

You specifically mentioned Norway, right? Yeah, no, I. Everyone.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. All right. 888, 727. Beck with your thoughts. More coming up.

[Caller]

Sam,

[Jeff Fisher]

Pass it on.

[Pat Gray]

Crank the game. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

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

[Pat Gray]

We have Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher for Glenn this week. 888, 727. Beck talking about the president, who says that people were expecting this. In fact, prices are lower than they were expecting. Is that how you feel about it? Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck. We'll get into that and more coming up. Now ask dad what he wants for Father's Day and he'll say, I don't know, I'm fine. He will.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a quote.

[Pat Gray]

I know I will.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a quote.

[Pat Gray]

Meanwhile, this man has spent the last 20 years preparing for hypothetical situations that have never actually occurred. He's got flashlights and strategic Strategic locations, extra batteries, a toolbox that could repair a small submarine. He knows three different ways to shut off the water to the house. And he treats bad weather like it's a personal challenge from God. Because that's what dads do. They want to feel prepared. Which is why I think Rapid Radios are actually a great Father's Day gift. They're simple, practical, and genuinely useful. You don't need a little license, you don't need to program anything. And there are no monthly fees. Just turn them on and start talking. And whether it's for travel, camping, road trips, family events, or real emergencies, they're the kind of thing a dad immediately understands the value of. Because deep down, most dads are always thinking the same thing. If something goes wrong, I want to be ready. So go to rapidradios.com they ship fast from their headquarters in Michigan. That's rapidradios.com rapid radios communication redefined. So in addition to the other things that the President said about the economy and Iran, he also over the weekend went after Lauren Boebert because she had the nerve, the unmitigated gallery, to go to Kentucky and campaign for Thomas Massie.

[Jeff Fisher]

How dare she?

[Pat Gray]

How. How dare she?

[Jeff Fisher]

Dare she.

[Pat Gray]

So the President called her a weak minded stooge.

[Donald Trump]

Wow.

[Pat Gray]

For doing that. And it would be an honor to pull his endorsement from her. Wow. If he can find somebody else, apparently that's what he's gonna do.

[Jeff Fisher]

I mean, she, she, I know she fought back a little bit with, she's like, I've endorsed Thomas Massie and I've endorsed Donald Trump. Both. You can do both.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that's not good enough.

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Jeff Fisher]

For Donald Trump.

[Pat Gray]

No. Because Thomas Massie is now public enemy number one.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, that's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

For the President. And I wish it wasn't like that, but it is right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

And it's all over the bill. Is that what we believe?

[Pat Gray]

It's all over the bill. Yeah. He said, here's a quote from the President. Bad Congressman Thomas Massie voted against tax cuts, the border wall, our military and law enforcement.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the big beautiful bill.

[Pat Gray]

That's exactly what that is. He didn't vote against tax cuts or the border wall or military and law enforcement, but those things were included in the bill, which he couldn't vote for because it was too much debt. He called him the worst Republican congressman in history. Kentucky vote the bum out on Tuesday. We can't live with this troublemaker for another two years. He's a true negative force.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I disagree.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. I do too. Thomas Massie is fiscally conservative. He's conservative socially as well. And, you know, I guess he's got some issues now. I don't know. I don't know what's true in that situation with this former girlfriend or whatever.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. All I've heard, from what I've heard, it's being looked at as like a big issue, but it really wasn't. It wasn't anything to do really, with him.

[Pat Gray]

No, very little.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So that's a complicated mess.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, but Thomas Massey's a conservative. Right. And President Trump just said he doesn't consider himself a conservative.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

He said that multiple times. That he is not a concern.

[Jeff Fisher]

Common sense.

[Pat Gray]

He's common sense.

[Jeff Fisher]

Work on common sense.

[Pat Gray]

So. And, you know, debt is not a big deal to him. He's a businessman. He's had.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know how he feels.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know how he feels.

[Pat Gray]

He doesn't care about it. Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

And that's why I changed my mind on it. Because of President Trump.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Just. Yeah, whatever.

[Jeff Fisher]

Care.

[Pat Gray]

Don't care. Don't have a budget.

[Jeff Fisher]

Don't have a budget.

[Pat Gray]

If you don't have a budget, then you don't have any spending limits.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Pat Gray]

That's the beauty of it.

[Caller]

It.

[Pat Gray]

So you just keep buying things.

[Jeff Fisher]

And this. The. The thing that really bums me out the most on my plan about not having a budget and just, you know, just spending what you have is that I can't print more.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

You got to find a way.

[Pat Gray]

That's the difference between you more and the federal government. Yeah. It would be nice if you just had a printing machine in your backyard.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, it be so sweet.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, it would be great. Here, here's more money.

[Caller]

Money.

[Pat Gray]

Look at this. I came up with more money.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right?

[Pat Gray]

You'd be nice.

[Jeff Fisher]

You need something?

[Pat Gray]

No problem. Most of us don't have that, though. It's federal government. Has it.

[Jeff Fisher]

I know.

[Pat Gray]

We do not.

[Jeff Fisher]

So that's kind of the problem with my plan.

[Pat Gray]

Kind of. Yeah. It's a. It's a problematic plan. But don't worry about it today. Kick it down the street and do it tomorrow.

[Jeff Fisher]

I am.

[Pat Gray]

Next week or something.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you. That's what I'm doing.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, good, good. I'm pretty sure that'll work out, you know, somehow in the end. Meanwhile, what are your thoughts on it? And I mean, is it like you expected or is it less than you expected? Or is it more? Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck. Let's go to Brian in Florida. Hey, Brian. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. With Pat and Jeffy.

[Caller]

Hey guys, Pat and Jeff. You guys are funny man. Thanks for keeping the humor going and keeping us upbeat during this. I actually, I stand with President Trump. I think he. What he's doing. He's exposed so much fraud and waste and I agree with a lot of the points everybody's made and what you guys have made. I also wish I had my own print. No no budget where I can be nice my own money using the monopoly. Monopoly money.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

But.

But anyway he's exposed so much corruption, fraud, illegal immigration and and I believe he's undoing decades of things and we as Americans have been fat and lazy and entitled. We want a satisfaction and we have to go through. It's like we're working out. We've been out of shape for so long. We are definitely going through the short term pains. I mean I, I have to make decisions every month. It's time you know I don't. I'm not a big materialistic guy but you know you. We have to make sacrifices in order to get to the long term game and I really believe we're going to have such a reward in the end and it's duty of the people to hold this government accountable. We need to start holding our Congress and Senate. They haven't done jack.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's a. That's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

That's true.

[Caller]

And then. And why isn't any.

I'm.

And now I'm using quotes with journalists. How come no journalists has actually asked President Trump about what we got out of Maduro when we captured him because he. I bet you Maduro knows a lot of the corruption that's going on and we can start arresting people as well. I just, I just really believe we gotta, we gotta hang in there. Yes. It, it's about what I expected. The last four years was really high. I think we were kind of going through like a recession during the fake presidency of for you during the last four years and, and you know prices are about the same and he's really got to undo it. And then we've had the Federal Reserve act of 1913 when they. That's been part of the corruption. We took ourselves off the gold standard. So really he's, he. It takes time of getting rid of undoing decades and decades and decades of fraud, corruption and waste and we just all have to unite together. I think we need to back manufacturing, bring back community farms where we all start bartering with each other and really, really rely on community and then get back to that knowing your neighbors, loving Your neighbors, you guys talked about that earlier. You know the biblical principles. I feel like we're going through a spiritual cleansing and we need to really get back to God and really trust in God's plan because God won. God won already. And now I'm not comparing President Trump, never will compare him to Jesus. But I, I trust in President Trump's plan as well. And I don't like to trust in man. I trust in God like and want to give shout out to Glenn Beck, man, great job of what you've been doing. You, he's, what he's been preaching and, and doing and standing tall. He's putting his money where his mouth is. Where most people don't do that. We look at our federal government, they, they put our money where their mouth is but they never, they never do any action that is for the people. So I just want to congratulate him and thank him for what he's doing and I pray full armor God over him continually and you guys and that just where I, I, I kind of think that's why we're really dealing with what we're dealing with and, and this is the short term pain of going through the long term term reward of what we're going to get in the end.

[Pat Gray]

Nicely put.

[Jeff Fisher]

Amen.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks Brian.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, appreciate it.

[Pat Gray]

Can't disagree with any of you though.

[Jeff Fisher]

You can't.

[Pat Gray]

That's, that was well spoken and you know it's true. That's why this is so difficult right now. And I guess what bothered me the most is that the President seemed a little dismissive about the pain that people are going through right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

And this, this affects people, the lower income wage earners more than a lot of the rest of us. And so if you can't afford four and five and six dollar a gallon gas, what are you going to do right now? If you can't afford eggs and butter at the grocery store, what are you going to do? It's really tough right now and so you got to tighten your belt somewhere. Most people don't have the government solution available to them which is just don't have a budget and it's, don't worry about it, kick it down the street until next week or the week after that or the next month.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know, we'll get to it, get

[Pat Gray]

to it sometime we'll get to it. Something will happen where it all works out.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's what I'm saying.

[Pat Gray]

That's something's gonna happen. I'm gonna get a big check in the mail. That's gonna fix all this.

[Jeff Fisher]

That means where I'm gonna win the lotto. Right. That's the whole hope.

[Pat Gray]

That is the hope. Yep.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the hope.

[Pat Gray]

Yep. And so when the lottery victory doesn't happen.

[Jeff Fisher]

I was going to bite your tongue.

[Pat Gray]

So triple eight, seven, two, seven, P, E, C, K. Joel in Minnesota. Welcome.

[Caller]

Hi. How you doing?

[Pat Gray]

Good.

[Caller]

You guys asked earlier that you. You were saying you didn't understand, you know, why we're paying more?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

We're paying more because we're living in the global economy.

Should we be?

We shouldn't be. The excuse is our oil, we can't refine it, so we have to use the dirty oil. The reality is our equipment can pump the clean oil that we have. They just can't make their profit. Their profit comes from when they take the clean oil and sell it to other nations, and then they turn around and buy cheaper dirty oil and refine it. And the kick side to that one is there's. After all the refining is done, there's a layer of toxic waste leftover. So we're actually buying other countries toxic waste and storing it on our land.

[Pat Gray]

Isn't that lovely?

[Caller]

That's great profit.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And, you know, there were tax laws, which I think they were given a little too much. I think the tax breaks they should have. Should be on the lines of refining. Our equipment work better with our oil. Although the equipment we have can do the oil we have. They just don't want to do it because they lose profit. If they were doing it that way, we would be about $1.29 cheaper a gallon.

[Pat Gray]

Are you in the oil industry?

[Caller]

No, I've just been researching it.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. All right. Well, that's. That's a good summation of what's going on right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, it is.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. I appreciate it. Thanks, Joel.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't care,

[Pat Gray]

and you don't care.

[Jeff Fisher]

You know what I heard, and you don't get an excuse to why I'm not paying a dollar twenty a gallon.

[Pat Gray]

Right? Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Just excuses.

[Pat Gray]

Global economy. You will never pay A$20.

[Jeff Fisher]

We can't refine it here. We're buying toxic sink. I don't care.

[Pat Gray]

Just give me cheap oil.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you. What are we doing?

[Pat Gray]

Just go back to, I don't know, 250 a gallon. Is that unreasonable? I don't think so. 250 a gallon. That's where we put it, and that's where we.

[Jeff Fisher]

We seem to be happy there. Yeah, everyone seemed to be happy between

[Pat Gray]

oil companies are making money.

[Jeff Fisher]

250.

[Pat Gray]

We're doing okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

250 a gallon.

[Pat Gray]

250 a gallon.

[Jeff Fisher]

Perfect.

[Pat Gray]

Carl in North Carolina. Hi.

[Caller]

Hi, Glenn and crew. Well, my wife one time saw some during Trump's first term. Some. Some 135, but that was at one store for one week. But, yeah, I'd be content with 2 bucks 250. But the previous caller gave the best explanation I've heard, and I've not done a ton of research, but as to connecting the dots of why it is that when we have enough oil ourselves, why are we, you know, paying this much? But, yeah, I did help a lot. President Trump, all three times that he got elected. And also, I'm working in North Carolina with a team to help make about a baker's dozen of needed repairs to our election processes, tighten them up. But, you know, a bit earlier, Doge and Nick Shirley got referred to, and. And people use the term fraud. Well, you know, if, you know, someone with an accent calls you up and is, you know, trying to sell you something, and then, you know, they don't really have the product or the service, and that's. That's fraud. But when our servants, our overpaid servants, are stealing from their boss, the highest order, the highest governmental level, which is the people, it's embezzlement. And when they're stealing tens and hundreds of billions of dollars, that's a serious felony. And when they're taking bribes from foreign enemies, that's called treason, high treason. And that's the only crime that's mentioned in the Constitution. It's the worst crime there is because it inevitably results in many, many deaths and suffering and misery. So let's maybe upshift from, you know, fraud to embezzlement and treason and call, you know, call it what it really is, and let's do what the Constitution tells us three times. And the people need to. Need to be doing the prosecuting because criminals don't tend to arrest themselves.

[Pat Gray]

I've noticed that, too. Yeah, that is a weird phenomenon. Thanks, Carl. Appreciate it.

[Jeff Fisher]

You never. You're never gonna give it. I mean, it's gonna be a while before we get to the treason.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, we don't like to use that word anymore.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, we don't.

[Pat Gray]

And we certainly don't like to level the charge anymore. But, you know, like he says, some cases is really appropriate. All right, triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck. More coming up in 60 seconds. How many people are walking around right now because somebody chose not to give up on them? Think about that for a second. Every person you've ever known. Every friend, every spouse, every child, every great historical figure, every person who ever made it, made the world better in some way. All of them exist because at some point, somebody chose life. And yet we live in a culture that often talks about pregnancy like it's in an interruption, a problem, a thing to deal with. Well, preborn pushes back on that. They remind people that there's a human life involved. A child with a future, a personality, a name, a story that hasn't been written yet. Maybe somebody who will go on to cure cancer. Who knows? But just $28 provides one free ultrasound. That's less than a dollar a day, and it could save a life. Or if you can afford it, $140 reaches five mothers. Preborn empowers women to be mothers. And it's only the beginning, because that moment leads to real support, maternity care, baby clothes, diapers, counseling, and a lot more. And that's what we do together when we provide ultrasounds. To get involved, just dial £250. Say the key word baby. That's £250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.combeck preborn.com Beck sponsored by Preborn 10 seconds. Station ID. All right, let's go to line six. Jerry in. Is it Indiana? Hey, Jerry. Welcome.

[Caller]

Hi.

[Pat Gray]

Hi.

[Caller]

Oh, my gosh. I feel so flattered to be able to talk to these wonderful guys that I have been a big fan of for many, many, many, many years.

[Pat Gray]

Well, thank you.

[Caller]

When he first started out, I followed you guys forever. I met him in at Tri State out here in Angola many years ago,

[Jeff Fisher]

and I had talks about it often. Often.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. He's mentioned you many times, Jerry. Many times.

[Caller]

He did not.

[Pat Gray]

All right, you caught us. I don't know how you caught us, but you did.

[Caller]

So what's up?

[Pat Gray]

What's up?

[Caller]

Okay. What's up?

It.

I'm just so perturbed by the media. Abc, NBC, all of the fake news, how they're just talking about, oh, the price of gas has gone up another nickel today. Oh, my God, do they not remember the last administration? And every time the Democrats are in there. Holy crap. Yeah, what are we waiting for? That is very true and everything. Come on, Pat and Jeffy, you guys know it is just a bunch of bunk.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, that's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

Well, it's for sure that it's getting talked about a lot more now. Appreciate the call. Thanks, Jerry, and thanks for your kind words. It is being talked about every day, all day by the media. Whereas under Biden, when it went up to Five bucks a gallon. Nobody even mentioned it. It was not a big deal to the media then. That much is very true. Very true.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, absolutely. And you know, look, we know, but it's just, it's the culmination of a lot of things that's happening in the world now. Right. We don't want Iran to have nukes. We about it. But because of that, now we're all struggling and we're all struggling at the same time with the same things. Higher prices for everything across the board. And yet, you know, we get good news that the president, they've killed the ISIS leader over this weekend that we're not talking about. And I mean, less, less terror on the planet is good.

[Pat Gray]

Good thing.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, it's a good thing. Yes. I'm happy that we, that we, that we, that we took our armed forces along with the Nigerian armed forces and executed this guy. Good, good riddance. And. But it's just a culmination of everything that seems to be like, okay. And at the same time, we hear that we have to. Trump, we haven't heard a lot of news about, about the, our ice on the streets. Right.

[Pat Gray]

Getting rid of illegals, supporting illegals. Yeah, that's gone away.

[Jeff Fisher]

We got a lot of bad news out of Minnesota and then, you know, bad things happened and so now we've kind of moved back a little bit. Just be quiet over here.

[Pat Gray]

And the thing was, Trump's plan was working.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

It was going really well. And then the war with Iran. And so people are just saying, okay, can we wrap this up and get back to the good times, the good things that you were doing? Because please, we don't want to pay the Biden Obama prices while Donald Trump's in office.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes, I'm willing. Okay, I know, I'll pay it for today.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, but Jerry, what you said is definitely true.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is.

[Pat Gray]

Haven't been able to really argue with anybody. It's all true. Triple eight, 727 Beck. More coming up.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn Today we're gonna get to your thoughts at 888727 Beck on President Trump, the economy, what's going on with Iran in just a second. But we gotta share this news with you because it's pretty amazing. The climate hysteriacs had to drop their most hysterical predictions all of a sudden. Wait, what? We're not. Okay, so the world is not going to end in 12 years, which we're down to. I don't know when, when did they start saying that? Like oh, 2015. Oh sure, 2012. And I mean we're there and beyond in a lot of cases. But, but the latest on some international committee responsible for the official scenarios that guide climate modeling have changed their prediction, their projections.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, those other outcomes weren't, they're not as plausible now.

[Pat Gray]

They're not. You mean what we've said all along? Yeah, you know the, and surely they pointed that out in the article. Article, Right. Hey, thanks to all the climate change skeptics who have been doubting this hysteria all these years.

[Jeff Fisher]

What we're going to do is we're just going to adjust the framework of the modeling and we won't say anything. We'll just, we'll just change it.

[Pat Gray]

So great. You're just going to change the framework of the modeling.

[Jeff Fisher]

We're just gonna, we're not gonna.

[Pat Gray]

To eliminate the most extreme scenarios that by the way, have dominated climate research for decades now. Decades. I mean it's an incredible development.

[Jeff Fisher]

It is.

[Pat Gray]

They, they were telling us the future is virtually over. We're done before it got here.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right. No point in living. And look, some of, so some of those universities that we are going to fog because they can't get Chinese students away. There'll be students, don't worry about it. Oh yeah, but they are the ones that have had Some of their students in hysteria.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Over climate. Over the climate madness.

[Pat Gray]

This is the stuff that got people like, you know, what's her face? For some reason, I drawn a complete blank on the 13 year old that's now like 45.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah. What's her face? What's her face?

[Pat Gray]

Greta Van Thunberg. Greta Thunberg, who's been screaming and crying and weeping over climate change and can't get anybody to listen to her because it's so horrible. It's so horrible. I just wanted that because that's what she was fed.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

In her formative years. And so that's what she firmly believes. And now they've backed off all that stuff.

[Jeff Fisher]

And I would. That's a good thing that, you know, President Trump posted this weekend. Good riddance. After 15 years of Democrats promising that climate change is going to destroy the planet, the United nations top climate committee just admitted that its own projections were wrong, wrong, wrong. For too long, the climate activism has been used by Democrats to scare Americans, push horrible energy policies and fund billions into their bogus research programs. Unlike the Democrats who use climate alarmism nonsense to push their green new scam, my administration, this is President Trump now, will always be based on truth, science and fact. President Donald J. Trump.

[Pat Gray]

It's incredible because. All right, while that is the case now, that's the new reality. Anything you say is still ridiculous. And you're a climate denier.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right?

[Caller]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Somehow everything they said is still accurate. Somehow. Believe everything else they've ever said, but not just not that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Well, we adjusted. Right. What was the. We adjusted the.

[Pat Gray]

The framework.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, the framework. Yeah, the framework to make them. Because what we've been doing, just not quite as plausible. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

It never was plausible. They won't tell you that. But it's not quite as plausible as they once thought it was.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

So great. Just amazing.

[Jeff Fisher]

It sure is.

[Pat Gray]

Ross in Maine. Welcome.

[Caller]

Yes, thank you. Great to talk with you.

[Pat Gray]

You, you too.

[Caller]

Gas prices in California. My sister and her husband been paying five and six dollars in North Carolina, in Northern California, long before the Iran conflict.

[Jeff Fisher]

And we're close to seven.

[Caller]

Yeah. And our electricity is double the national average in Maine with our governor that we have and her cronies and all that's going on. But, you know, I expected that we could possibly have been paying more for gas because of the prior administration, the energy that we, you know, pipeline cut off.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Not going after our own national resources. And we're soft as a country. You know, and I'm generalizing when I talk about people Here. But, you know, a lot of these people, they voted this way. They want this country to fail for a long time. I just feel that they. Yeah. And this is just so many. And we're. We're trying to correct what's been done in the past. You can't do it in a month any more than you can stop a conflict. I'm gonna go in and annihilate.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

You know.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And, you know, we just have to buckle down and get this taken care of. You know, a lot of people in this country have family and friends over there in this conflict that they don't want them there. But we also don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. You can't. Because you can't. Once they get it, you're done.

[Pat Gray]

Exactly.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks, Ross.

[Jeff Fisher]

I. I don't disagree with anything. No, I know. He's right.

[Pat Gray]

That's what makes it difficult. And. Yeah, I really think we need to finish the job we started.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

Ran. Otherwise, we're going to pay for that big time. But let's do it then.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let's do it. Be done. We need to shore up our energy and our resources here in this country, like it's said. And you know that. That's the thing. If you want lights on, you have to pay your power bill. And if you'd like water coming into your home, you have to pay that. And then if you want gasoline, to travel. I don't know, to work, to be able to pay for that, all that. All of those things are tremendously. What's the word? Oh, yeah. High. I mean, it's never ends what it is. High.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay. I mean, holy cow. I don't even want to know. That's why I stopped. I don't even.

[Pat Gray]

Don't even look.

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't want. I can't. I can't.

[Pat Gray]

If you. If you don't look, then it doesn't hurt you. You know what I mean?

[Jeff Fisher]

Amen, brother. Amen.

[Pat Gray]

It's like nothing's really happening.

[Jeff Fisher]

Correct.

[Pat Gray]

Just don't even look at it.

[Jeff Fisher]

Correct.

[Pat Gray]

It's good safety. Thank you.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thanks. Come in the mail.

[Pat Gray]

Don't look, don't open it. I'm not sure that's the soundest financial advice, but. But, yeah, if you don't open it, you didn't get it. Right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you.

[Pat Gray]

And so you don't know that you owe anybody anything.

[Jeff Fisher]

Thank you. For more financial advice, email me at Chewing the fat@the blaze.com.

[Pat Gray]

now, past results don't necessarily indicate future earnings.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it does.

[Pat Gray]

Not just know that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Always. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Glenn in Ohio, welcome.

[Caller]

Hello.

[Jeff Fisher]

Hello.

[Pat Gray]

Hey, Glenn.

[Caller]

Oh, good.

You.

Hey, fellows. What's going on?

[Pat Gray]

You are.

[Caller]

Donald Trump is the chief executive of the United States of America.

[Pat Gray]

Indeed.

[Caller]

He's telling us that he knew this was gonna happen. He knew prices were gonna go up. Why didn't he pass an executive order to, let's say, put a moratorium on federal taxes on fuel while this is going on? Why not just give Iran a deadline and when they get there, start bombing the crap out of them?

[Jeff Fisher]

I agree with that. 100 and I feel like we have given them a deadline and then we've let it walk.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks, Glenn. Both points are pretty legitimate. Yeah. I think that makes sense.

[Jeff Fisher]

It does. And it's been talked about. You know, you're still going to have the states and the local municipalities that tack on to your gas prices.

[Pat Gray]

So you'll still have the state. But if you got rid of the. The federal income tax or gasoline tax, the.

[Jeff Fisher]

Or the federal income tax, which would

[Pat Gray]

be even better, frankly. Why does he just get rid of that, please. But if you got rid of the federal gas tax, what is that, 18 cents or something?

[Jeff Fisher]

I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

And then every state has their own. But I. It would save you some money, right?

[Jeff Fisher]

That's the thing. It would.

[Pat Gray]

And yes, but we. He just hasn't done it.

[Jeff Fisher]

There's been people that have talked about it, but.

[Pat Gray]

Be very helpful.

[Jeff Fisher]

I, I don't. Would it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I think it'd be helpful. I mean, it's not going to hurt.

[Jeff Fisher]

It would certainly look good. Yeah, it would certainly. It would certainly look good. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

And we could use that.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Heading into the midterms.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

[Pat Gray]

Jennifer in Connecticut. Hi.

[Caller]

Hi. So I just wanted to say about the guy from North Carolina, I live in Connecticut. I voted for Trump three times. As you can imagine. There's a lot of liberals in. In the state. Yeah. I love it here, if you can't tell. No, I'm trying to relocate to Tennessee. Me and my ex.

[Jeff Fisher]

Connecticut's beautiful.

[Caller]

Yeah. At least you would have another conservative vote down in Tennessee.

[Donald Trump]

But.

[Caller]

So I just wanted to let all the Republicans know that live in red states and purple states need a vote for every election or you're going to end up liking.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, that's for sure.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks, Jennifer. I've lived in Connecticut on two separate occasions. Early 90s and then again in the 2000.

[Jeff Fisher]

It was cheaper.

[Pat Gray]

2009. Oh, so much cheap. Yeah. So much cheaper.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's usually the way it works.

[Pat Gray]

And the politics is mind numbing in Connecticut which is why I ignored it and tried to believe that's what Jennifer

[Jeff Fisher]

is saying is the problem.

[Pat Gray]

That's what she's saying is the problem. Problem. Yeah. But you know, what are you going to do? It's Connecticut.

[Jeff Fisher]

You already give it up.

[Pat Gray]

That's why we're here now because we're in Texas now and that makes more sense. Paula, in Tennessee, welcome.

[Caller]

Yes. Tell Jennifer she's welcome here in Tennessee as long as you don't bring any politics with us.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Yep.

[Caller]

No. What I was listening to Jesse earlier here I live in East Tennessee.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Caller]

And here our gas is 386 right now.

[Jeff Fisher]

Oh, See, how lucky are you?

[Caller]

But I'm a retired teacher. I live on a fixed income and I know what it means to have to count your pennies sometimes before my next paycheck. I'm living on quarters and dimes and it was very hard. And I remember when this happened back with Carter years during the oil embargo and you know that was a hard time too. And I understood that when Trump did this prices were going to go up and I understood that. And but also when they did the military operation in Iran, they only finished 80% of the targets. And then he started stop to make this deal.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Caller]

And he first deal failed and then he waited pause to make another deal and then they didn't show up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Right.

[Caller]

To me that was an insult. And the military operation should have started back.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely. And Pistol Pete's ready to go. He wants to make that happen bad.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Headsets.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks Paula.

[Jeff Fisher]

Absolutely. Thank you. And I hope you don't have to count quarters very much longer.

[Pat Gray]

Me too.

[Jeff Fisher]

No kidding. But I mean there that's needed to happen. I'm not quite sure. I know Trump wants to make a deal. I, I, I got that. But I'm not quite sure.

[Pat Gray]

We don't want to hurt the people. You know, we're trying not to do civilian targets.

[Jeff Fisher]

And they still claim we are.

[Pat Gray]

I know.

[Jeff Fisher]

So we're still taking a beating over

[Pat Gray]

that saying 22 schools have been hit last week.

[Jeff Fisher]

That was what Jill was saying. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

And he was the CENTCOM Cooper, head of CENTCOM of he's a good, I mean he liked him a lot but he was saying like there's no credible. That's not true. There's no credible reports on that.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, we hit the one.

[Jeff Fisher]

They're just saying apparently.

[Pat Gray]

Whereas when you think back to that didn't, didn't they admit that that was An Iranian.

[Jeff Fisher]

I thought so.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

First I thought so too. I thought yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Now it's back to blaming us again.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Weird. It's weird. Triple eight. Seven two seven Beck. More coming up.

[Jeff Fisher]

Big tech wants clicks. We want connection. There's a big difference. Glenn Beck will be back after this.

[Pat Gray]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 888-727-BECK. Let's go to James in New Mexico. Hey James. Welcome.

[Caller]

Is that me?

[Pat Gray]

Yep, that's you.

[Caller]

Well I'll be darn. Yeah, there's, I suspect that if we just took a whole bunch of pigs and took them over to Iran and started bombing them with pigs, how to

[Pat Gray]

do it, I would do it. I mean because they don't like pigs. They don't, they don't like pork. Thanks.

[Jeff Fisher]

A couple things with that. I have a problem with that. Then our pork prices go up.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, that's right.

[Jeff Fisher]

So what we need to do is then, you know, Trump didn't want to have China help because when, you know, he's afraid that when they help us they're going to want something in return. But China has those, I'm told to videos that you know come out of the country that they have those giant buildings that have hog farms. Right?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeff Fisher]

Let them help us.

[Pat Gray]

Loan us some pigs that we can drop on Iran.

[Caller]

All right.

[Jeff Fisher]

Yeah, there you go.

[Pat Gray]

It just seems, you know that's too insensitive. I think that's. That's why we won't do that. It's too insensitive.

[Jeff Fisher]

So just a tactical nuke then, and we're good?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, now that's okay.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

But not the pig.

[Jeff Fisher]

Okay?

[Pat Gray]

You can't bomb. All right, Pigs. That's unacceptable. No, I mean, that's not against their religion.

[Jeff Fisher]

No, it is not. So, I mean, you know, if you think PETA gets upset.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, man. Just talking about bombing around with pigs sets.

[Jeff Fisher]

Peter West Burdette from PETA was already typing me the email. I could feel it. I couldn't feel it.

[Pat Gray]

Absolutely.

[Jeff Fisher]

He is.

[Pat Gray]

They don't appreciate. Appreciate that. No, they don't even joke about that.

[Jeff Fisher]

That's right. That's not funny.

[Pat Gray]

You know, how about the guy that got in trouble in Hawaii because he threw a rock at a seal?

[Glenn Beck]

Right?

[Pat Gray]

A Hawaiian fish seal. What was it? A Hawaiian monk.

[Jeff Fisher]

A Hawaiian monk seal. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

The guy, it didn't hit him. It just scared him. So somebody beat him in the face for doing that.

[Jeff Fisher]

He's been charged.

[Pat Gray]

So violence against a human is okay, but don't you dare throw a rock at a seal. That's unacceptable, my friends. All right, we'll be back again tomorrow. See you then.
