Episode: ‘The View's’ Trump Derangement Syndrome Has Hit an All-Time LOW …
Date: May 22, 2026

Episode Overview

This episode spotlights the escalation of anti-Trump sentiment on “The View,” uses the panel’s latest outburst about TrumpRx prescription drugs as a springboard, and provides commentary on the intersection of pop culture, media bias, and American politics. Pat and Jeffy also dive into foreign policy (Iran), domestic energy matters, border security, and media hypocrisy, punctuating the discussion with humor and memorable soundbites.

Main Discussion Themes

1. Foreign Policy & Iran Negotiations

Segment starts 02:40–14:03

• Concerns remain about the protracted U.S.–Iran negotiations post-Epic Fury military action. Neither hosts nor their Fox News excerpts see Iran as negotiating in good faith; demands for reparations and expanded control in the Strait of Hormuz are seen as unacceptable.
• Quote: “It’s time to say no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, we’re shutting you down, period.” — Pat (03:10)
• Military guests (General Jack Keane) argue that leaving Iran “bruised but intact” only gives their regime a lifeline (04:49–05:24).

• NATO allies, as well as Gulf states, are criticized for lack of meaningful support or engagement (09:47–13:27).

Notable Quotes:

• “We're getting absolutely zero from them. They won't even escort their own ships.” — Jeffy (10:14)
• “I don't think President Trump wanted another war…but now that we're in it, we got to finish that job.” — Jeffy (12:24)

---

2. Byron Donalds on Gas Prices and Iran

Segments at 15:56–16:41 and 42:00–49:34

• Rep. Byron Donalds appears on CNN, pushing back that high gas prices are not Trump’s fault but a product of Iranian oil brinkmanship.
• Quote: “Let’s be very clear…the fault lies with the Iranian regime, not with the President of the United States.” — Byron Donalds (45:54)
• The hosts express admiration for Donalds’ media savvy and discuss his potential as Florida governor.
• The effectiveness of “hardball” tactics is discussed; media hypocrisy is exposed as CNN and others ignore past Biden-era spikes.

Memorable Exchange:
Pat: “Byron schooled the CNN host…good for him for going on there.” (44:20)

3. ‘The View’ on TrumpRx: Trump Derangement in Full Display

Timestamps 51:23–57:32

• Quote: “Once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we’re all going to die.” — Joy Behar (52:51)
• Alyssa Farah tries to counter Behar’s position, sharing a positive personal experience with TrumpRx's affordability.
• The panel descends into anti-Trump rants, prioritizing hatred of Trump over the prospect of lower drug prices.
• Even Whoopi Goldberg mostly stays out, other than trying to go to break.

Hosts’ Reaction:

• “How does she get away with…legitimately saying if Trump put his name on the medicine, it’s going to kill everyone?” — Pat (56:51)
• “They don’t care about lower prices. At all. That’s amazing.” — Jeffy (56:48)

• The panel lampoons Anderson Cooper’s over-the-top Tolkien tribute to Colbert’s departure.
• Quote: “He handed you a show making $200 million and you ended up costing to run the show.” — Pat (77:10)

5. Domestic Issues: Immigration, Crime, and Elections

Timestamps 84:48–95:17

• Tragic crash in California involving an undocumented truck driver from India highlights ongoing concerns about illegal immigration and inadequate vetting.

Structure & Tone

The hosts maintain a tongue-in-cheek, irreverent, but direct style, often making fun of media, politicians, or each other. They weave through serious topics (foreign affairs, immigration, elections) and lighter news (consumer scares, billionaires, landmarks, pop culture), using soundbites and on-the-fly commentary.

---

Conclusion

This episode delivers a blend of political commentary, cultural critique, and news reaction, driven by sharp skepticism—especially toward media narratives around Trump and the political left. The “TrumpRx” segment from “The View” stands out as a prime example of the kind of “derangement syndrome” the show criticizes, while moments from political, media, and consumer news keep the episode brisk and varied.

For listeners: If you missed the episode, these segments cover everything from foreign policy anxiety to media commentary, capped with laughs about pop culture and reminders that, in their words, “fortune favors the bold”—at least if you’re not operating a daytime TV show.

Transcript

[Pat]

Pass it on.

[Jeffy]

Crank the game.

[Pat]

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

[Jeffy]

with Pat and Jeffy. Today for Glenn,line-8727. Beck got some updates on, on Iran and where that stands. What happened with negotiations? We'll get into that in just 60 seconds. Ask dad what he wants for Father's Day and he'll say, oh, I don't know. I'm fine. Meanwhile, this is the guy who spent the last 20 years preparing for hypothetical situations that have never actually occurred. Flashlights in strategic locations, extra batteries, a toolbox that could repair a small submarine. He knows three different ways to shut off the water to the house. And he treats bad weather like it's a personal challenge from God. Because that's what dads do. They want to feel prepared. Which is why I think rapid radios are actually a great Father's Day gift. They're simple, practical, and genuinely useful. You don't need a license. You don't have to program anything. And there are no monthly fees. You just turn them on and start talking. And whether it's for travel, camping, road trips, family events, or real emergencies, they're the kind of thing a dad immediately understands the value of. Because deep down, most dads are always thinking the same thing. If something goes wrong, I want to be ready. So go to rapidradios.com they ship fast from their headquarters in Michigan. That's rapidradios.com rapid radios communication redefined. And so is the situation with Iran.

[Pat]

It's not over yet.

[Jeffy]

Not over yet. It's still on, I guess. I, I don't know if we're going to hit these guys again. I, I really don't think President Trump wants to. Otherwise we would have done that already.

[Pat]

I feel that as well.

[Jeffy]

They keep putting it off.

[Pat]

They don't like it.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't like what's happening.

[Pat]

I want to go to war, but I don't. Enough of the, the patty caking around.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, right. It's been what, it's got to be a month. But now.

[Pat]

And we just, or more just doing what they always do.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And it's time to say no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, we're, we're shutting you down, period.

[Jeffy]

Here's a Fox News report. Rebecca Heinrich and, and some of the anchors that are talking about it. And then they throw in one of the, one of the retired generals.

[Fox News Anchor]

But now we haven't heard much from the son of the Supreme Leader, if he is the one calling the shots, then there is no deal to be had because he is committed to the Islamic revolution, and we are no closer to a deal than we were before Epic Fury began. So I think that that's really important. Second of all, if the Iranians, however, were wanted the United States to resume military strikes, I don't really know how they would be behaving any differently.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Fox News Anchor]

I mean, you see them now making increased demands. Bill, you just pointed out how they're now expanding the zone that they want to control of the Strait of Hormuz. Deal breaker for the United States and for our Gulf partners in the region. And they're also demanding that the United States pay reparations.

[Jeffy]

Okay, so they've increased their demands. Yeah, no, they're expand. They're supposedly. They want to expand the area they control in. In the Strait of Hormuz, and they want war reparations. No.

[Pat]

No about.

[Jeffy]

No on all of that.

[Fox News Anchor]

Lift sanctions. And so I think we're no closer to a deal. And I think President Trump, of course, is ready to initiate military actions. Again, I do think that that's the direction that we are headed.

[Jeffy]

General Jack Keane was on with Fox

[Fox News Anchor]

and Friends a little bit earlier. Let's watch him here.

[Pat]

Problem with a deal here is that we leave Iran bruised but intact. And they'll walk away from here citing and convincing themselves that they got the United States to back down. And as a result of that, we extend a lifeline to the regime for sure. For them to do what? To recover. But nonetheless, it is a lifeline to the regime that extends them for years to come. The next administration is going to wind up having to deal with them. That's not where we started. Your thoughts on that?

[Fox News Anchor]

Well, look, I mean, Admiral Cooper, of course, the head of Central Command just gave some very compelling testimony days ago where he said that the Iranians do not have an air force anymore. They really don't have a navy. The United States is much safer now than we were before, but there is still the ability that this Arump regime has to coerce and compel the United States, and that cannot stand. And so I agree with the general there who's making the point that this is more than just about Iran. This is about the entire Middle East. It's about the United States finishing a job that it started. Regardless of what anybody thinks about initiating Epic Fury here we are, and the Iranians are making increased demands.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Then that's unacceptable.

[Pat]

Unacceptable.

[Jeffy]

Plus, they have. They still have too much military ability, right? That has to be diminished.

[Pat]

I mean, and we're allowing this all this time we're told that they are rebuilding some of their stockpiles during the pause.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

I mean, they're not licking wounds. They're getting stronger. Yeah, no, no, I know, I know.

[Jeffy]

I think it's time to go back and finish the job.

[Pat]

Yes.

[Jeffy]

Here's what President Trump said yesterday about who we're negotiating with.

[Pat]

We're all ready to go. We have to get the right answers. We're dealing with some people, and we're dealing. Actually, I must tell you, we're dealing with some very good people. We're dealing with people that are, I think, far more reasonable than the people that are really no longer with us. Okay.

[Jeffy]

All right. Well, they. They haven't come to an arrangement, though, with us yet.

[Pat]

No, they haven't.

[Jeffy]

And, you know, they keep making these demands on us, like we're going to have all this territory. We're gonna. We're going to control this much area of the Strait of Hormuz, and we need reparations from you because of what happened here.

[Pat]

They're still trying to charge a fee to. To pass administrative Hormuz, right? No, no, not paying that. Not doing that. Sorry about it.

[Jeffy]

It's really frustrating.

[Pat]

Very frustrating. And then, you know, when Trump is asked about the, you know, the, the gold dust, I mean, and I guess. I guess the gold, I mean, the uranium dust really isn't uranium dust. It's like a liquid that turns into dust. It's really.

[Jeffy]

Okay.

[Pat]

It's some. Because I don't understand.

[Jeffy]

It's a byproduct, first thing of the process.

[Pat]

Mixture. Yeah, yeah. And I. And so again, that has turned into being called dust.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Nuclear dust.

[Pat]

So. Okay, all right, I know. And. But when asked about it, he says, you know, yesterday. Well, I'll let him tell you.

[General Jack Keane]

They keep their highly enriched uranium.

[Pat]

No, no, we get the highly enriched. We will get it. We don't need it. We don't want it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it. Okay. There you go. Okay.

[Jeffy]

All right.

[Pat]

I mean, do I like to hear that? Yes. Make it happen, sir.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Yes. I think it seems like it's time. I mean, I. I know he doesn't want to cause death and destruction, and I don't want to see that either, but they're not responding to anything else.

[Pat]

Well, that's what they know.

[Jeffy]

Seems like it.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Doesn't it?

[Pat]

Yes, it does.

[Jeffy]

It's also Frustrating that we continually. We still have no support whatsoever from NATO. What good is that organization? What good are they?

[Pat]

Right? It didn't. I mean, didn't someone, one of the countries just said that the Strait of Hormuz was completely Iran's and always Iran's? And I was like, I'll find out who.

[Jeffy]

Because I was like, find out who. I was like, that's not true.

[Pat]

Nope, nope, sorry.

[Jeffy]

It's never been around.

[Pat]

We're not. We're not letting that fly. Fly by.

[Jeffy]

It is not now and it never has been Iran's to control. Here's what Marco Rubio, though, said about Naito yesterday.

[Pat]

He's not asking them to commit troops. He's not asking them to send their

[Jeffy]

fighter jets in, but they refuse to do anything. And so I think the President looks

[Pat]

at that and says, hold on a second.

[Jeffy]

If all these countries around the world agree with us that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, that this regime is a threat to world peace and security, that already have missiles that can reach Europe, they don't have missiles that can reach America yet, but they have missiles that can reach Europe, we're actually step forward and do something about it, and everyone goes into hiding. Yeah. So what do you do about that? These are supposed to be allies and we're supposed to be in this stuff together, and we're getting absolutely zero from them.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

They won't even escort their own ships through the Strait. They're not even willing to do that. Haven't. Haven't seen any of that yet, as a matter of fact. And if you want, you know, you want your oil, you want your goods to get through the straight, that should be your responsibility. We shouldn't have to do that for everybody. We shouldn't have to hold everybody's hand that comes through the straight. Let Britain do Britain's ships, Germany do theirs, and so on throughout the entire Strait of Hormuz. Are you finding who said that?

[Pat]

I.

[Jeffy]

You're not finding who said that?

[Pat]

I am not.

[Jeffy]

Maybe you just dreamed it. Maybe it was a fever dream kind of thing.

[Pat]

I don't think.

[Jeffy]

Is that possible?

[Pat]

You don't think it was? I don't think so. But maybe that's the fever dream talking as well.

[Jeffy]

Could be. Could be. Because I. I mean, I can't imagine it was a NATO nation saying that. Is that what your impression was, that it was somebody from NATO saying that?

[Pat]

My impression was. And that's what I'm looking at. My impression was that it was Modi from India. Oh, but

[Jeffy]

okay, Not a NATO country, but.

[Pat]

Correct. Right, correct. But certainly an ally.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And we need him as a strong ally.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

I mean, they're already making deals with Iran to get some goods through there.

[Jeffy]

So India is. Yeah, okay.

[Pat]

So if it wasn't him, it could have been.

[Jeffy]

Well, they're busy sending all their people to the United States of America, too. I don't know if you've noticed that,

[Pat]

but I. I may have. Yeah, I may have. There's a lot. He's got immigration things on his mind.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's busy with that. He's busy saying, all come free to the United States of America.

[Pat]

So never mind. Never mind about that whole. Straight of our thing.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

So, I mean, that's a problem. That's a whole other show on that whole other thing.

[Jeffy]

All right, so it's. It's a little bit strange right now because I, you know, I. We didn't want war in the first place, frankly. I didn't. I didn't want another war. I don't think most Americans want another war. I don't think President Trump wanted another war. But, you know, we took care of this Iranian situation because apparently they were. They were on their way to a nuclear weapon, and that can't be allowed. And so now that we're in it, we got to finish that job. And, I mean, they've attacked their neighbors repeatedly. And in fact, they've. They attacked the UAE more than they attacked Israel. So I don't know why, you know, speaking of nobody else getting involved in this thing, the UAE should be involved.

[Pat]

Absolutely.

[Jeffy]

Saudi Arabia should be in Qatar. All of these countries that have been repeatedly attacked by Iran should have mounted, I don't know, something. Right, right. Some kind of.

[Pat]

And I thought at one point that was going to happen. And then they got hit a couple more times and seemed to put their tail between their legs.

[Jeffy]

Okay. All right. Yep. Yeah. And in fact, they're the ones who most recently said, hey, don't hit him yet.

[Pat]

Correct.

[Jeffy]

Right. That was just this week, I think.

[Pat]

Keep talking, Keep talking.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Commercial Announcer]

Why don't.

[Jeffy]

We think we can come to an arrangement now? We think we can reach a deal with them, and then the same thing happens, the same old brick wall every single time they start talking to them, they make even more demands the next time.

[Pat]

Yeah, that's what we got. We got crazy right there.

[Jeffy]

It's crazy.

[Pat]

No.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

You don't get to do that.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. All right. Triple eight. 727, Beck. More coming up in one minute. You know, when Most people think about self defense. They tend to think in extremes. Either you do nothing and hope the situation works itself out, or you are forced into a decision that could change your life forever in a matter of seconds. Well, the truth is, most situations don't require lethal force. In fact, according to FBI statistics, less than 1/100 of a percent of altercations ever do. But that doesn't mean you should be left defenseless either. You should have something that gives you distance, gives you time, and gives you a way to protect yourself or your family without immediately crossing a line that you can never uncross. That's what Burner is. The burner launcher fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker from up to 60ft away. And it does it without requiring a permit or a background check. It's legal in all 50 states, which makes it perfect for summer travel. Every family should have one because feeling safe shouldn't depend entirely on luck. And starting today, burna is offering 10 off site wide in honor of Memorial day. So visit byrna.com b y r n a berna.com visit right now. Get 10% off sitewide starting today. 10 seconds. Station ID. All right, Triple eight seven two seven. Beck. Byron Donald's on cnn. What is he?

[Pat]

They are questioning Byron about the gas prices and this administration's why the gas prices are highest because of this administration and the, the, the war or the conflict with Iran and Byron is having none of it. The problem is Iran.

[Jeffy]

Oh, wow.

[Pat]

Not President Trump.

[Jeffy]

You know, he is, he has been so good and so supportive of this president.

[Pat]

He absolutely has.

[Jeffy]

And I know he wants to be governor of Florida and he definitely.

[Pat]

Great governor.

[Jeffy]

President Trump's endorsement.

[Pat]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffy]

He would be a great governor.

[Pat]

And I'm advice following in the shoes of Ron DeSantis. I mean.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. In good hands again.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

I, I think meanwhile, DeSantis can move to Texas.

[Pat]

That's right.

[Jeffy]

And become governor here.

[Pat]

That we've, we've assigned Ron DeSantis the traveling governor's job for each state.

[Jeffy]

Yes, we have.

[Pat]

Yes, we have.

[Jeffy]

And I think he, he needs to be held to that. I really think he needs to.

[Pat]

I have no problem. He needs to do that. He does not need to work. Let someone else be the president. We love you, Ronnie. We love you. And we know you want to be president.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

But your job for America right now is to travel state to state and

[Jeffy]

be a great governor.

[Pat]

Yes.

[Jeffy]

And in those states. Fix those states.

[Pat]

Yes. So then after that and after what was, what is that? 2030 years.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Pat]

Then, you know, you can just. We'll let you decide.

[Jeffy]

Hopefully. I, I don't see a problem with it.

[Pat]

I don't. I don't either.

[Jeffy]

I really don't. Also, the US has paused the alliance with, with Canada. Did you see that? We. President Trump has. And the Pentagon have called Carney's bluff here because he's been saying that they don't need the United States. Okay, well then how about this? You can take care of your own defense. We don't. We don't need to be guarding you for the next 50 years like we have the last 50.

[Pat]

I love that.

[Jeffy]

Department of Defense announced it was pausing. The 86 year old permanent Joint Board of Defense between the United States and Canada, according to Under Secretary for War Policy Eldridge Colby. The move comes amid mounting frustration in Washington over Canada's chronic defense under investment and Prime Minister Mark Carney's increasingly confrontational rhetoric toward President Trump. We can no longer avoid the gaps between rhetoric and reality. Real powers must sustain our shared defense and security responsibilities. So this thing was established in 1940 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.

[Pat]

Love you.

[Jeffy]

Remember him?

[Pat]

I do.

[Jeffy]

I love, love William Lyon. He was terrific. Terrific. PM of, Of Canada. The board became one of the earliest pillars of continental defense cooperation. And it came as Nazi Germany tightened its grip on Europe and fears grew over Atlantic security. That alliance eventually evolved into NORAD and decades of deep military integration between the two countries. And who's footing the bill for it? Of course we are.

[Pat]

No. Cannon's helping us right there. They're putting in, oh, a couple of bucks.

[Jeffy]

Literally a couple of dollars. That's about what they're putting in. Yeah. And they're. And they're Canadian dollars.

[Pat]

Oh. So it's not even close to being worth as much. Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffy]

Now Washington appears to be signaling that the relationship can't continue on autopilot. We can no longer avoid the gaps between rhetoric and reality, he said. Real powers must sustain our rhetoric and shared defense and security responsibilities. He argued that while militarily capable, Canada benefits the United States when they are militarily capable. Ottawa has repeatedly failed to meet its defense commitments in a credible way. So the timing is awkward for Carney because his government has loudly projected Canadian independence from Washington, continually saying that, you know, they're not dependent on us. They don't really. They don't need the United States.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Jeffy]

While remaining vague about how it intends to rebuild the country's depleted armed forces. Because that's what these countries do is they rely on us and our protection and so they don't spend anything on their own.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

And so we just foot the bill for everybody. And I don't know. I'm a little tired of it. A little tired of it.

[Pat]

I think Donald Trump is as well.

[Jeffy]

I think he is. Now Ottawa claims that they hit the NATO benchmark of 2% GDP spending on defense. But a lot of people have questioned how they got to that number.

[Pat]

Yeah, because they're using Canadian dollars. That and easy.

[Jeffy]

And they count things like landscaping at military bases. Well, literally they count landscaping.

[Pat]

That's a military budgeting issue. I don't disagree with that.

[Jeffy]

You don't want brown lawns on a military base, do you? No, you don't. No. You and you want pretty flowers.

[Pat]

That's right.

[Jeffy]

On a military base.

[Pat]

And you want it all counts Nice. Some nice hedges when you're coming up to the gate guards.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

Let you in and out of the. And out of the base.

[Jeffy]

And they're spending money on that.

[Pat]

Thank you. That's part of the budget.

[Jeffy]

Shut up. They're going to keep missiles from Russia from hitting them. No. But it look beautiful when they do hit triple eight. Seven two seven. Beck.

[Commercial Announcer]

[Jeffy]

Foreign. Welcome. It is Pat and Jeffy for Glenn three day weekend. So Glenn Will be back on on Tuesday after the Memorial day weekend. Triple eight, 727 Beck. In the meantime, uh, we got a fun fat five for you, uh, with Jeff Fisher.

[Pat]

All right, let's. Let's rock and roll. I just lost. I lost all my hearing, so we're flying. Well, not blind, but deaf.

[Jeffy]

Okay, so that's not good.

[Pat]

No, I know. I'm a little unhappy. I will. You need to. Need to actually maybe be a little bit concerned. Exploding. They are. Oven doors are exploding all over America.

[Jeffy]

Oh, boy.

[Pat]

Some consumers describe doors are exploding.

[Jeffy]

Doors are exploding like the glass in them.

[Pat]

Some consumers described the sound as a small explosion, while others said they discovered the glass only after hearing a crash from another room. So Consumer Reports.

[Jeffy]

Frightening.

[Pat]

Just a tad, yeah.

[Jeffy]

So this is while the oven is on, I'm assuming, right?

[Pat]

You would. You would think that.

[Jeffy]

I would think that. No, no, no, no. It's not.

[Pat]

Even with the heat on, no one expects an appliance in their kitchen to pose that kind of risk. In some complaints, consumers said the oven was cold.

[Jeffy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Pat]

When they found shattered glass on the floor.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

They also found similar reports in the CPSC's public database dating back more than a decade. I'd never heard about this.

[Jeffy]

I haven't either.

[Pat]

I didn't know that my wife could be harmed by standing in front of the oven is a little scary to me. Consumer Report that you should be concerned about your wife in front of an oven as well.

[Jeffy]

Except right now with our. With our remodel going on, we don't have an onion, an oven, or an onion.

[Pat]

So you don't have to worry about it.

[Jeffy]

Well, I don't have to worry about it.

[Pat]

That's good.

[Jeffy]

No oven in our.

[Pat]

Consumer Reports contacted five manufacturers with the most complaints. So LG said it was. We're aware of the complaints, but had not identified the basis for additional action. Oh, okay. The other four companies said their products meet third party safety standards. What does that mean? Third party safety standards was made in China and then.

[Jeffy]

Sounds like.

[Pat]

Yeah, sounds like it. Samsung was the only company to say it offers free repairs regardless of warranty status. That's good. Yeah. So Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports investigation reviewed complaints filed with the Consumer Product Safety commission over a 15 month period. Found there were 400 incidents and more than 40 injuries. I mean, probably all women. It doesn't say, but just, you know, be careful. This CR expert said that they. There may not be obvious warning signs before the glass fails, though any chip crack or visible damage should be taken seriously. Yeah, but the point is that they weren't.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

Well, I mean, sure, if you saw, you know, if you came in, was that oven cracked? Maybe you would do something like you would say, honey, don't use the oven tonight.

[Jeffy]

You might say that.

[Pat]

Just use the stove.

[Jeffy]

But. But it better be equally delicious as anything you want to put in the oven.

[Pat]

Thank you.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat]

So you can report them. They. They even give the Frigidaire George LG Samsung Whirlpool. Wow. So I mean, just be careful. Yeah, I. I'd never heard about that

[Jeffy]

before and it's happened. You said 400 in the last 15 months.

[Pat]

In the last 15 months.

[Jeffy]

400 times.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Jeffy]

That's a lot.

[Pat]

That is a lot. That seems to be an issue with the third party. Issue sure does making the glass for these ovens. Right. I mean it's has to like it.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

I mean, look, I'm not a Consumer Reports investigator, but it sounds like that could be the case.

[Jeffy]

Yes, it does.

[Pat]

Harvard University, their faculty voted yesterday to restrict the number of A's an undergraduate professor can award students. The new policy set to go in effect next year, caps the number of A's in each course to 20% with the flexibility to award up to four additional A's. A minuses will not be impacted. So there's going to be a whole bunch of A. The decision comes as a number of A's awarded at Harvard has grown from 25% in from 2005 and 2006, 25% A's to 60% last year. With AI potentially expediting great inflation. Faculty warn the trend could harm the university's credibility in the eyes of employers and graduate schools. So one professor suggested grade inflation negatively impacts enrollment in other courses taught by professors who give out A's sparingly. The decision is unpopular. Well, you're already, first of all, you're already have a negative impact on enrollment in those courses if you already know that that particular professor doesn't give out that many A's. But I digress. The decision is unpopular with students who are concerned the new approach will reduce collaboration between students and impact their mental health. About. So Harvard faculty also voted yesterday to replace the GPA with percentile rank to determine honors such as cum laude. So good times. Good times at Harvard.

[Jeffy]

Good times.

[Pat]

Good times at Harvard. I'm sure some of the 600,000 Chinese going there that this will be affecting them.

[Jeffy]

And they got 600. They'll be going to Harvard. But, well, but you know, it's probably a good Portion of them?

[Pat]

We don't know.

[Jeffy]

A good portion. Yeah.

[Pat]

I mean, there's plenty of universities that will fail if they stop coming here, so.

[Jeffy]

Well, they all will stop up. They all will.

[Pat]

A spacecraft lifted off on a Vega Sea rocket on Tuesday from Europe's spaceport in French Guyana on the northeastern coast of South America. A little under an hour later, smile detached at 700 km, about 435 miles of altitude to make their own way toward an extremely elliptical orbit thousands of kilometers above the surface of the planet.

[Jeffy]

Smile could be 5 inches, could be a million miles. Nobody knows.

[Pat]

We don't know.

[Jeffy]

There's no way to tell.

[Pat]

Well, they claim as kilometers.

[Jeffy]

Can we stop with kilometers? Why are American stories being written in kilometers? You know, what if we've effectively switched? We've effectively made the switch.

[Pat]

Almost sounds like it.

[Jeffy]

It does. I mean, everything you watch on TV measured in kilometers.

[Pat]

Oh, stories also, like most stories, would be detached at 435 miles. 700 kilometers in parentheses. Yeah. Instead it's turned around.

[Jeffy]

You have to see the stupid kilometer thing in parentheses and put the miles in the story.

[Pat]

But it's the opposite, though.

[Jeffy]

It is.

[Pat]

It's the kilometers.

[Jeffy]

Absolutely is. And sometimes not even the miles in parenthesis.

[Pat]

Well, yeah. Later on in this story, there's no miles. They just stick with the kilometers.

[Jeffy]

Hate that. I hate it.

[Pat]

I know.

[Jeffy]

In fact, when I'm watching a show and they start with the kilometer thing, I just turn it off.

[Pat]

Really? Yeah. You're done with it.

[Jeffy]

It irritates me that, wow, I just. Okay, I'm done with you not doing it. When they start telling me that Voyager 2 is 26 billion kilometers from Earth

[Pat]

and I'm thinking, okay, here we go,

[Jeffy]

That's, I don't know, 15 billion miles. Why don't you just say 15 billion miles? It makes it sound like it's so much further away. So I'm just. I'm done with you at that point because I'm so disgusted.

[Pat]

This Spacecraft will be 121, 000 kilometers above the Earth. Wow. It's.

[Jeffy]

Wow, that seems like a lot.

[Pat]

It's an. An orbit the European Space Agency says will allow the mission to observe the northern lights non stop for 45 hours at a time for the first time ever. And it's going to be able to fly over the South Pole, allowing it to transmit data to the Bernardo o' Higgins Research Station.

[Jeffy]

That's great.

[Pat]

Antarctica. Is it, though? I mean, because I feel like, you know, I know the smile and the solar wind, magnetosphere and The Longosphere Link Explorer. And it's a joint mission between the ESA and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I don't, I, I don't like it. You know, I don't.

[Jeffy]

I don't like it because of the ages.

[Pat]

Our space is ours.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Okay. And so it's irk.

[Jeffy]

I mean they can do their cute little smile thing, I don't care, but the moon is ours.

[Pat]

Well, that's clear.

[Jeffy]

And Mars 100 is ours.

[Pat]

100. Yeah. We're not the moon. The moon is ours.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Period. We've already flagged it.

[Jeffy]

Adorable little weather balloons or whatever it is. You're doing fine.

[Pat]

Smile is 121, 000 kilometers. Says right there.

[Jeffy]

It's like, I don't know, I mean it's 20ft.

[Pat]

It's kind of cool. But space is ours, right? I'm sorry. Okay. No, that's ours. I mean we've got, we've got Elon, we've got NASA. Pick up the, really, seriously pick up the pace. Let's go. I mean you already did the Artemis 1 or 2 or whatever number it is that you flew around the moon. Great, great. Let's. If we're going to set it up, if we're going to set up a colony on it, let's do it. Yep, let's do it. Make the whole thing ours. And I see where SpaceX plans an 80 billion dollar at evaluation that could reach 2 trillion dollars. It's expected to spare Saudi Aramco for the title of the largest IPO in history. So Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, CTO and chairman, will hold 85% of the company's voting control. The listing will likely propel Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire. I mean, I looked yesterday afternoon and I. Elon, can't see second place. He's got $808.1 billion right now. That was yesterday afternoon.

[Jeffy]

It's over 800 billion.

[Pat]

Yesterday afternoon. Wow, Larry. Page number two is 314. I mean, Elon barely sees you, Larry.

[Jeffy]

Wow, it's amazing.

[Pat]

Bezos is in fourth place with 275. It's cute, Jeff.

[Jeffy]

Shit's adorable. Really, it's adorable.

[Pat]

Who is a good little billionaire? You are. Come here. I see.

[Jeffy]

And he got left behind, didn't he? Oh, because he was number one for a while.

[Pat]

Shouldn't have got a divorce.

[Jeffy]

I mean for a. Yeah, that's right. That is true.

[Pat]

The divorce put that a lot.

[Jeffy]

Fortune.

[Pat]

If he.

[Jeffy]

I think she got 30 billion.

[Pat]

Let's say she got. She. So that would put him over three. Yeah. So he's definitely fighting for second place.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Had he not got the divorce. Wow.

[Jeffy]

And then Bill, what happened to him? Gates is.

[Pat]

I mean, he's not even. Doesn't even make the top 10. Oh, wow. Well, I don't know. I haven't. This list takes me to five.

[Jeffy]

Okay. He's not in the top five.

[Pat]

He's out of the top five. And I think the last time, maybe he was eight or nine or something. Maybe he was in the top ten. But the divorce killed him, man.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. That hurt him too.

[Pat]

Yeah. And I mean, look, he's okay.

[Jeffy]

You think, you think? Yeah, I think it might be.

[Pat]

He'll be all right. Yeah. But still, I mean, it's just. It's hurting.

[Jeffy]

Hurts him a lot.

[Pat]

And I see where the, you know, we talked about cities, the population's growing. I think we were talking about this on Pac Grand Leashed, the show that airs just before this show, actually on Blaze TV and Blaze Radio. Fastest growing cities with populations of 20,000 or more. And this is from July of 2024 to July of 2025. So Salina, Texas, 24.6%.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

Full shear. Texas, 21 on the nose, 21%. Princeton, Texas, 18.1%.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

Melissa, Texas, 14 and a half percent. Anna, Texas, 10.2%. Hannah, Haynes City, Florida, at 10.10%. Those are 10% and above cities. Hain City, Florida is, you know, that's. That's in Polk County. That's a Sheriff Grady Judd country. Best sheriff in the country. But that's like west of Tampa Bay or east of Tampa Bay and a little southwest of Orlando.

[Jeffy]

So Princeton, Texas is way, way out in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. I mean, that for it to be growing like that, that far out.

[Pat]

Right. And they're calling it ex. The ex urban communities.

[Jeffy]

Ex urban.

[Pat]

Ex urban. Yeah. Ex urban.

[Jeffy]

So they're not suburban. They're correct. Ex urban.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

But it's getting connected now. It's going to be suburban, very.

[Pat]

These cities. I mean, after Haynes City, then you have, you know, this Wauke, Iowa, and then you get to Forney, Texas, Eagle Mountain, Utah, Johnstown, Colorado, Colorado. Those are, you know, the top ones.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

But are all these cities. And I'm just asking a question, I don't know, and I. And personally, Pat, I don't care, but are the population growth in these cities, are they white people being pushed out from the other cities that are growing with Indian and Muslim population, or are these cities growing with Indian And Muslim populations away from the white cities.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Pat]

I don't know either.

[Jeffy]

I don't know the demographics on any of it.

[Pat]

I don't know either.

[Jeffy]

But you do notice that it's Texas that's growing at an exponential rate.

[Pat]

Yes.

[Jeffy]

It's just incredible.

[Pat]

Absolutely.

[Jeffy]

Triple eight, 727 back. More coming up.

[Pat]

We don't need to agree on everything, just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder. Glenn Beck is back in a minute.

[Commercial Announcer]

So many people are living every day with pain that they just think they're stuck with it. It is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. I want to tell you about a letter I got from Oregon. Guy named George and his relief factor story. George, hardworking guy, spends 10 hours a day in a garbage truck. Tough job. Made even tougher because he's dealing with a sore right knee that just wouldn't bend. But here's the amazing part. George started taking relief factor and it changed his life. And he said in his letter to me, and I quote, I can bend my knee again with very little pain. I can relate to George. There was a time when I wondered if I could continue working because my pain was so bad. If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief factor, a daily drug free supplement can help you feel and live better every day. Give their three week quick start a try, $19.95.

[Pat]

Damn.

[Jeffy]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. She's NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died yesterday.

[Pat]

Really sad.

[Jeffy]

41 years old.

[Pat]

Really sad.

[Jeffy]

They said he had a severe illness. He was going to, he was going to drive in the Coca Cola 600 this weekend. They had to replace him because he got sick after winning a truck event last week.

[Pat]

Yeah, he won the truck event. And then before that he, I don't know that he won at Watson.

[Jeffy]

No, he took eight.

[Pat]

But he was, you know, he was in the, you know, he was in the finals. And that's the, there's audio of him saying he needed a shot.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And then we hear that he's very sick. Sick.

[Jeffy]

Took him to the hospital and he's gone.

[Pat]

It's gone really weird.

[Jeffy]

Really, really sad.

[Pat]

Really sad.

[Jeffy]

He's won more, more races than any driver in history. 234 in his career. So really sad. Nobody really knows what it was.

[Pat]

No, they don't. I mean, I'm sure the family is devastated. So.

[Jeffy]

Man, we're coming up. Sam, Swipe the flame, pass it on. Crank the game.

[Pat]

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

[Jeffy]

with Pat and Jeffy. Hopefully you have a great Memorial Day, Memorial Day weekend, lined up, picnics, whatever fun remembering our, of course, ours, Absolutely. Our veterans and our war dead and the sacrifice that they have made. Also, we've got to, we got to get into this Byron Donald's thing. He talks about gas prices.

[Pat]

He does.

[Jeffy]

I mean, he is what's responsible for that.

[Pat]

He is awesome.

[Jeffy]

He really is.

[Pat]

He is a good man. I, I like Byron a lot and

[Jeffy]

I think he'd be a great governor of Florida.

[Pat]

Oh, yeah, yes. But, but you know, I, I, we miss him in the representatives.

[Jeffy]

Yes.

[Pat]

We don't necessarily like.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I know, I know. And we're, I mean, it's a very small majority. Is.

[Pat]

Sure is.

[Jeffy]

So. All right. Triple 8, 7, 2, 7, Beck. More coming up in one minute. You know, there's a certain kind of person who can't go on vacation without turning it into a full scale logistical operation. Before the car even leaves the driveway, they've checked the weather, three in three states, mapped out gas stations along the route, packed enough snacks to survive a civilization collapse, and informed everyone that if anybody has to use a bathroom, they better speak now or be prepared to suffer. And honestly, those people might be onto something because whether, whether you're traveling this summer or you're camping, you're heading out on a road trip, or you're just trying to keep your family connected during the unexpected. Communication matters a lot more than most of us realize right up until the moment you need it. That's why I really like rapid Radios. They're incredibly simple to use. There's no license necessary, no programming, no monthly fees. You just turn them on and start talking. And because they work nationwide, they give you a way to stay connected that feels easy, practical, and reliable without turning into some kind of tech support Nightmare. Go to rapidradios.com they ship fast from their headquarters in Michigan. That's rapidradios.com rapid radios communication redefined. All right, so Byron Donald's on CNN because now all of a sudden, the mainstream media has realized gas prices are high right. Now. Three years ago, when they were much higher than they are right now, even they didn't notice it for some reason. I don't know why.

[Pat]

I don't Know what the deal was?

[Jeffy]

They didn't recognize the situation at all when Joe Biden was in office.

[Pat]

Weird.

[Jeffy]

Now they did and they do.

[Pat]

And Byron School, the CNN host. Yes, a little bit. And so I mean good for him for going on there. Yeah. And, and good for them. You know, she's trying to hold her own, bless her heart.

[Jeffy]

Here's what happened over.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

You're, you're conflating issues. Number one, gas part. Yes, you are.

[CNN Host]

I am not complaining.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

Let's be very clear. Well, let's be very clear about gas price prices. The reason why oil prices are high on the world market is because the Iranian regime, once again a theocratic dictatorship, is wanting to force the straight clothes because they would rather foment terror and have nuclear weapons. And they want to put pressure on the west through oil prices. That's why gas prices are high. That's not because of economic policy in the United States. That's because of the Iranian regime's death grip on power. That's a very different situation than launch.

[CNN Host]

And then the Iranians shut down the Strait of Hormuz. That is, that is an accurate statement.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

You just said, you just, you just said what I just said the Iranians shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Why did they do that? They shut it down because they are trying to inflict economic pain on the rest of the world because they would rather have a nuclear weapon. They would rather put those nuclear weapons on the tips of their ballistic missile systems, which by the way, they lied to the world. Those what? Those ballistic missile Systems can go 4000km reaching our allies in Europe, reaching American bases overseas. And they are so hell bent on having that they would rather inflict pain on the world on an when it comes to oil prices, I don't want to see high.

[Joy Behar]

No question Iran wants to inflict pain.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

Let's be very clear. The false lies with the Iranian regime, not with the President of the United States.

[CNN Host]

You can make that argument, but let me follow.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

It's not an argument. It is an empirical fact. It is not an argument. It is is happening on the ground

[CNN Host]

that the US and Israel launched the war and then the stray of Hormuz became an issue. So President Trump was asked about this and said as you're negotiating, should you factor in is it weighing on you Americans financial situation such as the gas prices? And he said, quote, I don't think about Americans financial situation. He later doubled down on that comment calling it a quote, perfect statement. I'd make it again. Do you to want agree with That

[Congressman Byron Donald]

I think when the President is trying to figure out how to bring this Iranian conflict to an end, he is thinking about making sure that the Iranians do not have a nuclear weapon. And let's be very clear, the President is well aware that the Iranians close the strait to rise oil prices on the world because they are using it as an economic weapon against the people of America and quite frankly the people of Europe as well. So when he's having to negotiate, he's got to play hardball with people who do not care about your rights, who do not care about your fundamental liberties, who only care about a radical theocratic Sharia law driven regime that does not care about women, does not care about anybody else except what they feel that they want. And so when you're dealing with somebody like that, you got to play hardball. You can't do model UN negotiations because that's how you get beat at the negotiating table. Quite frankly, that's how former President Obama got beat at the negotiating table when they sent $150 billion in cash to the Iranians in the dead of night.

[Joy Behar]

Let me just.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

Iranians said that they were going to do anything.

[CNN Host]

Follow up with Congressman, let's say rich uranium. As you know, I know it, as you know, these two things are not mutually exclusive. The Iran war and Americans financial situation. Right now gas is over $4 in every single state. Before the war it was $2.98 cents per gallon. What are you telling your constituents in Florida who are really concerned and you are hurting because of the prices at the pump and elsewhere.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

What we say is this is a temporary situation because it is. When this conflict comes to a close, the straits will be back open. When the streets are back open, global oil prices will tumble and they will see that. That's, that's, that's actually not true. Once ships are, are actually allowed to move through the straits freely, you will see the future price on oil tumble in the overnight markets. That's what will happen. And then when the future price plummets, you will see that show up in gas pumps. They'll go right back down to $3 like they were before. One other thing that we should add into this conversation. The reason why gas prices were plummeting in this country is because of Donald Trump's economic policies. They actually brought those gas prices down because we already remember what happened under the previous, previous administration. Prices across the board in the United States were up radically because of terrible Democrat economic policy. So that's the actual fact basis that we need to have this conversation on.

[CNN Host]

And there was this conference to an end as well.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

I want this conflict to come to an end like everybody else does, but it has to be done appropriately. The Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon, period. Full stop.

[CNN Host]

And to be clear, we've spoken to many economists on this, and they're not all in agreement on everything that you laid out. And they say that gas prices rise a lot quicker than they come down. So we'll have to wait and see how this plays out. But Congressman Byron Donald, thank you for your time organizing.

[Pat]

Oh, my God, the whole time. Plus, one thing I didn't like about narrative. He. He is. I mean, he toes the line, and I love it. But he also toes the line to gas prices coming down to $3 a gallon. Yeah, I don't like that.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, no, I like that. Back down under $2.

[Pat]

Yeah. And look, certainly under three. We already said we'd be happy with, you know, we'll, we'll settle for 220.

[Jeffy]

I might settle for 250.

[Pat]

Really?

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I might.

[Pat]

Okay, Mr. Mr. Rich Guy. Okay.

[Jeffy]

If it'll come down to 250.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Jeffy]

I'd be fairly happy with that.

[Pat]

I believe I would be, too. But I still want the 222.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I, I, Yes, I want that happening again. But who knows? The other thing is he's talking about the gas prices under Biden and.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

That was due to their terrible Democrat policies. So what does she do? Then? She throws in the Ukrainian war. Wait, what? Okay, so the Iranian war is not the cause of this, but the Ukraine war with Russia was the cause of the cause for Biden's right. Oh, my gosh.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

These people are so obvious. They're just, they're an extension of the Democrat Party.

[Pat]

No, no question.

[Jeffy]

I mean, Fox News gets the reputation of being, you know, in bed with, with Trump and the Republican Party, but nobody's more in bed with the Democrats than CNN or Ms. Now or whatever they call them.

[Pat]

Oh, Ms. Now for sure. Oh, my gosh. CNN looks at Ms. Now and says, well, we'.

[Jeffy]

And that's not saying much.

[Pat]

It is not.

[Jeffy]

It's not saying much, but it's, it's pretty pathetic. And it's embarrassing. I mean, come on. Speaking of embarrassing, we've got to play what happened on the View yesterday.

[Pat]

Holy cow.

[Jeffy]

Because I, I honestly don't understand how the View continues to exist. They are so wrong and so extreme. Literally every day I, I watched this

[Pat]

clip and I, I seriously. But I asked how, how are they still? How do they still have a show.

[Jeffy]

I don't know.

[Pat]

I don't know the answer to that.

[Jeffy]

Because if we were doing information like this, we wouldn't be the money they get paid.

[Pat]

And I'm sure maybe because the money of that the show makes. Although I don't know that that's the case either. That the show makes money.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

But holy cow. And they're just.

[Jeffy]

It's amazing.

[Pat]

We make jokes about the cackling hands and the arguing and everything. And, and that's. That's one thing. But the, the angry anti Trump hatred meanness is just really.

[Jeffy]

Especially from Joy Behar.

[Pat]

Oh, she's the.

[Jeffy]

Joy Behar is insane.

[Pat]

In this clip. This clip, you just see how angry and mean Joy Behar is. Yeah. You really do.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Here's. I mean, how do you, how do you say that? Trump RX is terrible. Well, she's about to show you. Cuddle oven.

[Joy Behar]

Okay, first of all, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with. Correct. All right.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joy Behar]

And you know, I like Mark Cuban. I've always liked him. But this is a, this is a mistake. And once, once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we're all going to die. Okay.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Joy Behar]

He put his name on the Trump Shuttle, the Trump Vodka, the Trump University, Trump Hotel, and my favorite, the casinos that all went bankrupt. Yeah. The drugs do not go there.

[Fox News Anchor]

The drugs don't actually have his name. They're existing drugs.

[Joy Behar]

He's involved with it.

[Fox News Anchor]

No, I. Literally, a medication that I had to take for IVF is a tenth. Tenth of the price on Trump rx. I don't. Whatever. It's tacky that his name is on. Mark Cuban has dedicated his life to bringing.

[Pat]

I think she's told us that before, but I mean, that's.

[Jeffy]

Wow. Well, I try not to listen to any of them, so.

[Pat]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Jeffy]

Missed it.

[Pat]

I'm sorry. Right there.

[Jeffy]

I missed her before when she said this. Her name is. What is her name? Farah. It's Alyssa Farah.

[Pat]

Yeah. Something.

[Jeffy]

I don't know. I don't know. Is she supposedly the conservative on the show? Yeah, because none of them are conservative. She's not conservative, but she's tried out

[Pat]

Trump RX already and she's saying, hey,

[Jeffy]

and it's one tenth the price.

[Pat]

There's another hand on the show also that's talking about. That comes up that says Joy. No, no, no, no, no.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Jeffy]

I mean, how can it be a bad thing when it's helping people? With their prescription drugs. How is that bad?

[Pat]

Because somebody's making money, Pat. There's not only a hole in the sky, there's a hole in the hole prescription bottle. Somebody's making money. Jeez.

[Jeffy]

And that's fine. If I'm paying less, I don't care.

[Pat]

Correct.

[Jeffy]

What do I care?

[Pat]

What does it matter?

[Jeffy]

If I'm paying less for my prescription and you are at Trump Rx, then what do you care who's making money from it?

[Pat]

Right, Right.

[Jeffy]

Anyway, she had more.

[Fox News Anchor]

They have more down prescription drug costs. The average family. One third of Americans cut back on essential foods and utilities to be able to cover their prescribed prescription drug costs. You're not going to convince me that just because Trump's involved, we should be like, screw it, don't bring down prescription drugs.

[Joy Behar]

He's going to make a profit out of it. Correct. Don't take it. I completely agree with you. I agree with you. He is a failed businessman. And if you heard what he said, he said, we both want to make people wealthy. He didn't say so.

[Fox News Anchor]

I should pay 10 times more for money.

[Joy Behar]

It's not wealthy. It means to me that there's no something in it for him. This is not a well intentioned. The President's. His intention lashes in on Sonny. But what this does is it helps Sarah. He's not a well intentioned person. He is not doing this from the.

[Fox News Anchor]

No.

[Joy Behar]

He's doing this to make money. No one thinks he's doing that.

[Fox News Anchor]

Joey.

[Joy Behar]

We're the wealthiest country and we pay the most for drugs. People that are literally suffering illnesses and cannot pay for their medicine. I can't think of a sicker business model. Bring down the prices. And if you're going to get results on this, call it Donald Trump medicine. I don't care what you. There are countries all over this world, especially in Scandinavia, that have national health insurance. Correct. They do not want to have that new bag of. Of drugs and health care. They don't want that. They have concepts of a plan, Joy. And right now, this is a plan.

[Maria Salazar]

I'm going to go.

[Joy Behar]

Two of you are so nice, if I may speak.

[Fox News Anchor]

So you're saying that in the meantime, while he remains in office for the next two years, people should just not have access to cheaper drugs because Trump,

[Joy Behar]

anything he touches is tainted.

[Fox News Anchor]

I don't trust him. Today I can literally order a prescription drug that I need for a tenth of the cost because of this. And it's not. It's not.

[Joy Behar]

Don't believe anything he says.

[Fox News Anchor]

It is right there I can get follows them.

[Pat]

Yeah, he's already doing it.

[Jeffy]

Amazing. And what did Whoopi have to say? She answered.

[Pat]

She stayed out of it. Whoopi's trying to stop him because he's. She's the one that's got to go to break. And the attorneys are like, stop them. The attorneys at the center, like Whoopi

[Jeffy]

go to break just because it's Trump.

[Pat]

They don't care. Nope.

[Jeffy]

About lower prices.

[Pat]

At all.

[Jeffy]

That's amazing.

[Pat]

At all.

[Jeffy]

That is amazing.

[Pat]

I mean, how does she get away with, I mean, legitimately saying if Trump put his name on the medicine, it's going to kill everyone. They're all going to die?

[Jeffy]

Seriously? I. I don't know.

[Pat]

Holy cow.

[Jeffy]

I don't know.

[Pat]

I mean, Dr. Oz was watching yesterday and he, he released a video after he watched the video. He's okay. I was on it.

[Joy Behar]

Oh, I like Mark Cuban. I've always liked him. But this is, this is a mistake. And once, once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we're all going to die.

[General Jack Keane]

Okay.

[Stephen Colbert]

Unfortunately, we still have no medications for Trump derangement syndrome on trumprx.gov but we're working on it.

[Jeffy]

That's a good line.

[Pat]

That's good. Yeah, it's awesome.

[Jeffy]

I like that. 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, and that's criminals. Because it takes a certain kind of boldness to walk up to somebody else's house and decide you have a right to what? What? It's inside that house. And these days, there are plenty of people 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 real protection.

You'll get 50% off a new system when you sign up for professional monitoring. And your first month is free by visiting SimpliSafe.com Beck. That's half [e-mail] Beck. There's no safe like SimpliSafe. 10 seconds station ID. Oh, then Whoopi did do something yesterday. She, I guess she thinks that all black people look alike because I guess so she thought this guy was Barack Obama.

[Pat]

Yeah. And I mean strange. It's really strange. They come back from break and she makes a big deal out of thinking that it's Obama in the crowd. And they even show the camera they want the, I mean they make take a shot of him and does he look like Obama? I mean you can decide that for yourself.

[Jeffy]

All right. You see the man look like Obama?

[Joy Behar]

You see the man look like Obama out there?

[Pat]

I thought it was Obama.

[Joy Behar]

I was like, is the president here?

[Jeffy]

Look at Obama.

[Pat]

Okay, maybe, maybe. Yeah.

[Joy Behar]

Because I saw you out of the corner of my eye and I thought,

[Jeffy]

no, I just have to say it.

[Joy Behar]

So.

[Jeffy]

Welcome to the View, y'.

[CNN Host]

All. Welcome to the View.

[Pat]

Yeah, there's a. Yeah, I could end

[Joy Behar]

the few, say let's say together.

[Pat]

Well, we'll do that.

[Jeffy]

We'll come back and do that. Yeah, I mean he did.

[Pat]

And under the light a little bit, you know, you're on set, look up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can see that. The second thing is though, really, and I mean most importantly, there are men in the crowd for this God awful show.

[Jeffy]

No.

[Pat]

Did he get dragged in there for just that reason? You look like will pop a let him in.

[Jeffy]

It was a hostage situation.

[Pat]

I think, I think it may have been.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. I think it was because that what self respecting man? You're not a man. You're not, you're not. Just not if you're, I'm sorry, person on the View set. No, I'm sorry.

[Pat]

Right, you're not. Because if, if like if I had an opportunity. You're walking by the ABC Studios there and you had an opportunity to go to the View show.

[Jeffy]

I want to say no. No. Would I love to. No. Am I going to? No.

[Pat]

I mean, no, I'm not. I used to be the mayor of Good Morning America. Yeah, I remember that abc, right corner there in Manhattan.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. What was that?

[Pat]

I forget. The stupid site. Yeah, the check insight. Yeah, shoot.

[Jeffy]

But if you checked in enough times, you became the mayor of that location.

[Pat]

Darn right. And so the Good Morning America corner. Mayor. We're calling mayor for sure.

[Jeffy]

That's fine.

[Pat]

But I would not, I don't know that I would. You know, maybe you go in and heckle them maybe and get kicked out.

[Jeffy]

Except for. No, I'm not even doing that. Not even doing that.

[Pat]

It doesn't seem to be worth their time.

[Jeffy]

I mean this is, this show is envisioned of ABC News.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

I still don't understand. I don't either how it exists on the air.

[Pat]

It boggles. You're believable.

[Jeffy]

It does.

[Pat]

It does.

[Jeffy]

Really does.

Torch members are not just listeners, they're torchbearers uplifting the nation together. Join the [e-mail] torch.

[Jeffy]

It's Pat and Jeffy. Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. Triple 8727 Beck. Glenn talked to Ezra Levant who a few years ago of course received the Queen's diamond jubilee medal.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

For defending freedom of expression when he refused, refused to bend the knee and went ahead and published Danish cartoons of Muhammad.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

And then of course now the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom banned him from the country.

[Pat]

And when Glenn talked to him, he had put in a special order passport to go to England. Cuz he had a, he had a, his passport was like a everyday reporter because he lives in Canada, hello, part of the United Kingdom. So it was just a, an easy passport to go back and forth which was banned. So they told them well you can always apply for the, this, this particular passport which is really hard to get. And he said, he filled out all the hundred questions, answered them, sent it in. I don't know that I ever heard if he got the resolution was. I, I don't. And I. I'm guessing the answer is no, that he didn't get it in time. They may have, you know, slow walked it.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Because it was supposed to be. If you fill it out, then you get informed. Well, I think within 24 to 48 hours. And. Oh, did we miss that window?

[Jeffy]

Well, it just goes to show you how important and how precious the First Amendment is, as he said he was. Sorry to say it, but your First Amendment in America is more important than almost anything else because with that, you can fight for all your other freedoms. And that's so true. And we think, you know, that other countries have it, too. We think that people in the west all enjoy freedom of speech, but they don't.

[Pat]

They don't.

[Jeffy]

Do you know that in Great Britain they arrest an average of 30 people per day because of what they've said online?

[Pat]

Yeah. What they've posted, sometimes what they've liked.

[Jeffy]

30 people a day. That's over two dozen people a day going to jail because of what they've posted online. That is unbelievable. I mean, it was. I think in. I, I think I read that last year it was close to 400 people during the course of the year who had been arrested because of something they said online or something that, you know, they offended people. Right. In some way that is. It's almost inconceivable.

[Pat]

Sure is. It sure is. But yet it's happening.

[Jeffy]

And yet.

[Pat]

And yet it's happening. I mean, that's. Yeah. I mean, that's Tommy Robinson. That's part of his. I mean, whole thing. You know, it's not his whole thing. You know, one of his main things. I mean, they've arrested him multiple times for, you know, things that he said online. And it's just, It's.

[Jeffy]

It's disturbing.

[Pat]

It's very disturbing. And it.

[Jeffy]

And we can't allow it here, and we just cannot.

[Pat]

I mean, we. I see stories. We. And we do stories about people who, you know, they liked an Instagram post and I'm like, so and so.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

I mean, I like stuff I don't like all the time. Just so I have it in my timeline.

[Jeffy]

I know we've done. Maybe you shouldn't do that.

[Pat]

No, I, I just, like.

[Jeffy]

Maybe you just bookmark it. I don't know. That's a thought. It's just a thought. For you. It's out there.

[Pat]

I mean, if it's really bad, I just screenshot it.

[Jeffy]

But it's amazing because, you know, last night I think was Stephen Colbert's last show. Was it last night? Isn't that tragic?

[Pat]

Is it so.

[Jeffy]

No, it is so you. It is, yeah. What now they're. They tried. The left is trying to blame this on President Trump.

[Pat]

Absolutely.

[Jeffy]

He didn't do this. This happened because he's losing $40 million per year with that crappy show that he does. If we were losing $40 million

[Pat]

a

[Jeffy]

year, we would have been off the air a long time ago.

[Pat]

Gosh.

[Jeffy]

I mean, this show makes money a lot.

[Pat]

Technically. You could make the case that it's because of Trump that he was remained down the air as long as he did.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, right, right.

[Pat]

Because they all hate.

[Jeffy]

Because it gave him material.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

And so they were on boohooing about it.

[Pat]

Oh, this whole last week I've read stories, headlines and how. What? Oh, it was just truly agonizing. And I was, I was so happy that, you know, Pedro Pascal showed up and got a kiss and it was just beautiful. It was just beautiful.

[Jeffy]

That guy, I can't stand to look at him anymore. And I really liked the Mandalorian. I liked it, of course, until he took his helmet off.

[Pat]

And then you realized it was him. No, Pascal.

[Jeffy]

That's him. No, and that was before I knew his politics. But anyway, anyway, he. And now I think today, in fact, it starts Mandalorian and Grogu or whatever the movie is out. So that'll be interesting to see how that does.

[Pat]

They're expecting it. They're. They're, they're under playing it.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, they are, because I think they expect 80 million.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Opening weekend. Think of that. A Star wars release. I know where they're expecting it. Not to get 200 million or even 150 million. They're expecting 80 million.

[Pat]

80 to 100 was the last I saw.

[Jeffy]

I bet it gets less than that.

[Pat]

Well, maybe. I mean, this first weekend is going to be a big. It's a long weekend, so you get

[Jeffy]

a big push and it's the first. It's the first Star wars movie in seven years. It's not like we're still saturated with Star wars movies, although there's been, you

[Pat]

know, plethora of them on the platforms for everyone to watch.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

You know, that's their whole thing. I mean, this is. I know we're getting away from Stephen Colbert's last night, but, you know, people say that Hollywood hasn't. Doesn't have any new ideas and truth terrible and.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Movies have, you know, are not fun to go to.

[Jeffy]

No, that's true.

[Pat]

All of it is true. But really some great content on platforms, on streaming platforms that probably would have ended up as a film in the past.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Now ending up as a, you know, a six part series.

[Jeffy]

That's true.

[Pat]

Paramount or on Peacock. Yeah. So, I mean the, the, the talent is still out there because there's some great content that's still being produced. It just isn't being produced for the big screen, which is an issue.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Right. And I. And that is true. But back to Stephen Colbert for a second.

[Pat]

I've wiped my tears away.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Have you?

[Pat]

This is final night. Last night.

[Jeffy]

Dry your tears. Well, darn it, you're gonna hear some of it.

[Pat]

Okay. Okay.

[Jeffy]

This will make up for.

[Stephen Colbert]

We have done over 1800 of these shows and most nights I come out here.

[Jeffy]

That's incredible. Is this a great country or what? That slop can last for 1800 shows.

[Stephen Colbert]

And I talked to the audience beforehand and tonight I thought I'd talk to the audience in here and the audience out there at home. This show, I want you to know.

[Pat]

So we got the pre.

[Stephen Colbert]

Show has been a joy for us to do for you.

[Jeffy]

You. It's been a joy.

[Stephen Colbert]

We call this show the joy machine.

[Jeffy]

All right?

[Stephen Colbert]

Lewis stole it from us and we are currently in litigation right now.

[CBS Executive]

You better lawyer up, buddy.

[Jeffy]

The joy Machine. All he does is bash Trump. That's the Joy machine.

[Stephen Colbert]

Well, the Joy machine. Because to do this many shows, it has to be a machine.

[Congressman Byron Donald]

Yeah.

[Stephen Colbert]

But the thing is, if you choose to do it with joy, it doesn't hurt as much when your fingers get caught in the gears.

[Pat]

Oh.

[Stephen Colbert]

And I cannot adequately explain to you what the people who work here have done for each other and how much we mean to each other.

[Pat]

You've got like 50 staff.

[Jeffy]

He literally has 200 people people on his staff for an hour a night.

[Pat]

1800 shows.

[Jeffy]

1800 shows, one hour a night and 200 people to pull it off. I mean, if you can't do it with that kind of staff, something's radically wrong.

[Pat]

I mean, I will say the staff that we have here on the Glenn

[Jeffy]

Beck program, slightly under 200 from the,

[Pat]

from the, the Torch and the Blaze and, and the Premier radio networks. I mean, it is slightly less.

[Jeffy]

It is under 200 than 200.

[Pat]

We do get it done with slightly less than 200.

[Jeffy]

We do.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

And it's a three hour show per day, by the way.

[Pat]

Thank you.

[Stephen Colbert]

I would just say to them. I would just say to them, you are all the great Achilles whom we

[Jeffy]

knew

[Stephen Colbert]

on night one of the Colbert Report back in the day, I said, anyone can read the news to you. I promise to feel the news at you. And I realized pretty soon in this job that our job over here was different. We were here to feel the news with you. And I don't know about you, but I sure have felt it.

[Jeffy]

And I just want to let all

[Stephen Colbert]

y' all know in here and out there how important you've been to what we have done, the energy that you've given us, we sincerely need that to have done the best possible show we could have for you.

[Joy Behar]

This is terrible.

[Jeffy]

I can't even take it. I can't even take the whole. It is.

[Pat]

It's terrible.

[Jeffy]

It's garbage is what it is. But Anderson Cooper was all weepy eyed over it too.

[Pat]

Well, Anderson just left 60 Minutes.

[Jeffy]

Oh, he left week. Did he now?

[Pat]

This past Sunday was his last. It's his last show, 60 Minutes, so.

[Jeffy]

Wow.

[Pat]

And Stephen can go cry in their own beer over, not have. Well, Anderson still has a CNN show, but not the 60 minutes.

[Jeffy]

But here's what he said about Colbert

[CBS Executive]

is signing off Tonight after nearly 11 years as host of the CBS Late Show. I've been honored to be Stephen's guest 22 times. The second resolution is by anyone. I don't do well with a broke. I don't really. Yeah, it makes me nervous and I feel they're awkward.

[Stephen Colbert]

It can be tender.

[Commercial Announcer]

No, really good to see you.

[Pat]

It's really good.

[CBS Executive]

Such a sweet CBS executive had said that canceling Colbert was purely a financial decision. But to fans of Colbert and free Speech, there doesn't seem to be anything pure about this decision.

[Jeffy]

Okay. He's trying to allege again that, that Trump is responsible for that. He's not. I mean, he didn't like the show. He thought it should be taken off. But that's, you know, that's CBS. His decision.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Because, yeah, they're losing $40 million a year. How long can you do that and

[Pat]

keep the show going, keep the network going?

[Jeffy]

That's nothing to do. That has nothing to do with free speech. You can scream free speech all you want, but when you're losing $40 million a year, there's something radically wrong with your crappy show.

[Pat]

No doubt we've seen a lot of

[CBS Executive]

disappointing behavior in the from some very meek boldface names in the world of big business. But as Gildor Inglorian, a noldor elf of the House of Finrod, once said to Frodo Baggins, wait. Courage is found in unlikely places.

[Jeffy]

Stephen Colbert knows so he's quot he's quoting Frodo Baggins. Really? I mean, I love Lord of the Rings, but.

[Pat]

Well, that's What? Well, that's Steven's favorite, right? And he and his son are going to go off and write a one of the sequels, right, for Lord of the Rings.

[Jeffy]

That's why won't that be good?

[Pat]

Oh, it's going to be great.

[Jeffy]

Wait to see that.

[CBS Executive]

And he knows a hell of a lot about courage.

[Jeffy]

Oh, man. It's a gift to exist. Does he ever. It's a gift to exist.

[Stephen Colbert]

And with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that.

[CBS Executive]

It's a sad night to see Stephen sign off since someone work on that show now. Out of work to see a president who can't take a joke go after anyone who can make one.

[Pat]

Oh, my gosh.

[CBS Executive]

But Tolkien offers us words of hope for just such nights when Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins were crawling through Mordor.

[Pat]

I love this.

[CBS Executive]

Tired, hopeless, almost ready to give up. Tolkien writes, they're peeping among the cloud rack above a dark tour. High up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while.

[Jeffy]

Okay, I can't.

[Pat]

Seriously, I just can't. So that's Anderson.

[Jeffy]

Is that garbage or what?

[Pat]

I mean, give that show up, too. Anderson. My gosh.

[Jeffy]

On his CNN show?

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeffy]

It's ridiculous.

[Pat]

Holy cow.

[Jeffy]

I mean, come on. Again, losing 40 million a year. Whereas his predecessor, David Letterman, who was just an angry old man by the end, still, though he was making money, he made 200 million a year. 200 million. Not losing 200 million.

[Pat]

He handed you a show that was

[Jeffy]

making 200 million and you ended up

[Pat]

costing to run the show.

[Jeffy]

It's incredible.

[Pat]

Holy cow.

[Jeffy]

And yet that's Donald Trump's fault. Garbage. Just. No, purely ridiculous nonsense. I don't know.

[Pat]

I don't know.

[Jeffy]

I don't know.

[Pat]

I don't know either. I don't have my Bobo Baggins quotes with me.

[Jeffy]

You need to look some up. All right. You really do. All right. More coming.

[Tim Burchett]

Glenn.

[Jeffy]

Becky,

[Commercial Announcer]

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

[Jeffy]

It's Pat and Jeffy for glenn today. Go back 727. Beck no good at all.

[Pat]

Go sideways. Impossible. Go forward. Only thing to do. On we go. Bilbo Baggins.

[Jeffy]

Thank you for those Bilbo quotes. It's powerful. It was really, really powerful.

[Pat]

I thought. Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Jeffy]

I was wondering if those were quotes from Mel Gibson and his.

[Pat]

Oh yeah.

[Jeffy]

His experience with the movie.

[Pat]

So I saw that they released this photo from the movie Resurrection of Christ. And I mean it's supposed to, you know, it's. They've changed the date now of when it's going to be released.

[Jeffy]

There it is.

[Pat]

Yeah, it's just a photo is all.

[Jeffy]

He's really just a photo.

[Pat]

And I thought, Mel, maybe we.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

I don't know, 30 second video, something.

[Jeffy]

Something like a 10 second teaser even. Yeah, they don't even have that.

[Pat]

You shut up. You'd be happy with the picture. Okay. All right. So this is the first image from Resurrection of Christ. It's delayed now until May 6, 2027. All right, so that's Ascension Day.

[Jeffy]

Are they having problems with the production?

[Pat]

Yes. You know, Mel, look, Mel said that this man a major part of his life's work and has demanded everything from me as a filmmaker and as an artist. This is far more than a film to me. It's a mission I've carried for over 20 years to tell what I believe is the most important story in human history.

[Jeffy]

Right about that.

[Pat]

Yeah. Right about that is.

[Jeffy]

Yep.

[Pat]

He is.

[Jeffy]

He also said this. You don't care. But that wasn't about the movie necessarily.

[Pat]

It was. That was something else. Could have been and.

[Jeffy]

But he loves the fact that we've kept that with us.

[Pat]

That was the Only way for him every once in a while. 16, 17.

[Jeffy]

17 years ago. Something like that. Yeah. From a.

[Pat]

A bad moment we still remember.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Crank the game.

[Pat]

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

[Jeffy]

Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend lined up for yourself. Glenn will be back on Tuesday after Memorial Day. He's having to suffer through a European trip right now.

[Pat]

Yeah. Bad for him.

[Jeffy]

They're tired. I saw in his latest video that he and Tanya are tired.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

So.

[Pat]

Well, you get that way, you know.

[Jeffy]

You know, when I. When I travel, Prague and Venice and Budapest, I. I just do get.

[Pat]

You get exhausted.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I do.

[Pat]

Exhausted.

[Jeffy]

I do. So I know how he's feeling.

[Pat]

You barely crawl into the hotel bed, right?

[Jeffy]

Yep.

[Pat]

Yep. That's how it is.

[Jeffy]

That's how it is.

[Pat]

That's how it is for us travelers.

[Jeffy]

We've had another of these illegal alien truck drivers cause immense tragedy.

[Pat]

Really?

[Jeffy]

This is outside Lodi, California.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Jeffy]

This is an illegal alien from India driving a big rig and killed two young Americans, a 20 year old and a 16 year old. There were five others injured, some of them critically. I mean, just really awful. They had to slow down. There was a. Some sort of Traffic tie up. So in this Kia, they slowed down in front of a Toyota Camry and were. Were smashed into by this semi truck driven by this illegal Manveer Singh. He left. He jumped out of the truck and ran. It was a hit and run thing. But they didn't have much trouble tracking him down. They. They were able to find him and he was arrested, taken to county jail, where he remains in custody. But according to authorities, of course, this criminal, illegal alien from India should never have been behind the wheel of a semi truck and allowed to kill.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Jeffy]

Just so sad.

[Pat]

Very, very.

[Jeffy]

How does this keep happening?

[Pat]

And it. I know that Sean Duffy and the rest of the transportation department had tell us they're working on it and they've shut down a lot of these ghost companies that are giving these truck drivers their. Their, their licenses. Let's. We're just not shutting them down fast enough. And finding the drivers fast enough, that's another issue.

[Jeffy]

So seriously, amazing how many of these illegals are driving around. And how. How'd you get. How'd you get a license to do this?

[Pat]

It's from these ghost companies. Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Unbelievable. And California, probably the worst of all in. In just distributing these. In allowing people to get.

[Pat]

You could just leave it there.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

We're probably just California most of all.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

Period.

[Jeffy]

The end.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

You don't need any more than that.

[Pat]

You don't need the qualifiers. Don't need to happen.

[Jeffy]

California, the worst. You know what I'm saying? You do, Right?

[Pat]

I mean, it's really sad.

[Jeffy]

It is.

[Pat]

And it would have been sad no matter who was driving the truck, but

[Jeffy]

certainly when it's somebody who shouldn't have been here in the first place.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

And they shouldn't have had a driver's license commercial, let alone.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Driver's license commercial.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

Geez. It's in. It's incredible. Really. Then we got here in Texas, we got James Talarico that we have to worry about. On this coming Tuesday, there's a Republican primary that has to be worked out between John Cornyn, the incumbent senator from Texas, and Ken Paxton, who has been our attorney General in Texas and has done a great job. He's got some issues, but you know who doesn't, especially in politics.

[Pat]

Who among us.

[Jeffy]

Who among us doesn't have an issue? But he got the President's endorsement.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

So I think he's got a really good shot at beating Cornyn, who's been terrible for about. About 20 of the 25 years that he's been in office. So that would Be nice if we could, you know, put a stop to the we have to corn and reign of rhinoism.

[Pat]

But tell Rico.

[Jeffy]

Rico's ahead of both of them in the polls now. Right now.

[Pat]

Yeah. We have to hope. We have to hope that that's because they haven't decided. Right? They haven't decided. That's what I'm gonna be. So once the decision comes, and I'm guessing it's going to be PACs now,

[Jeffy]

I think yesterday I said, you know, it looked bleak for Ted Cruz a few years ago was up against Beto, and I thought that ended up in a nine point victory. It didn't. It was 2.6%.

[Pat]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffy]

He only beat him by 2.6%.

[Pat]

I didn't even think there was. I. I never thought. I never doubted Ted Cruz would win.

[Jeffy]

I didn't either, really, but.

[Pat]

But this one's a little scary that it was close. That close.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Turned out to be pretty close.

[Pat]

I did. No kidding.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Well, this particular clip from Taro shows he's changed. You know, Mr. Chameleon. Oh, what a surprise from 2024 where, you know, it was all. It was all Biden to 2026, when it was all. But now it's all Biden's fault.

[Jeffy]

Oh, okay.

[Pat]

Joe Biden completely failed us when it came to border security.

[Jeffy]

That was for sure utter chaos in

[Pat]

border communities in our state. I remember talking to. To my colleagues in the State House who represent border communities, and they just told me about the complete breakdown in. In our immigration system. And this is 2020, so I think that was a pretty clear and obvious

[Jeffy]

failure on behalf of.

[Pat]

Of the president and his administration.

[Jeffy]

Can't call yourself 2024.

[Pat]

Reject the stranger seeking asylum at our southern border. You can't call yourself a Christian by rejecting a stranger at our southern border.

[Jeffy]

Wait, what? Okay, that. That tune has changed considerably. Wow. Oh, man. It is amazing that, you know, when you're a Christian, you have to just accept anything that's happening that shouldn't be happening, or you're not a Christian.

[Pat]

Okay, that's clear.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, it's clear. You should just allow people to pour into your country illegally and just enjoy it. What's the matter with you? You're not a Christian. If you can't enjoy that. Right, and promote that and embrace that fully.

[Pat]

But once they're already here, Pat, well,

[Jeffy]

then, yeah, there's nothing you can do except enjoy it and embrace it and promote it.

[Pat]

If they've been here for a long

[Jeffy]

time, if they've been breaking our law for decades.

[Pat]

But they.

[Jeffy]

You don't want them to stop breaking the law.

[Pat]

No. But you don't. I don't want them thrown out of the country either.

[Jeffy]

Don't you?

[Pat]

No, I don't.

[Jeffy]

Okay. A lot of people do.

[Pat]

I for sure a lot of people do.

[Jeffy]

A lot of people do.

[Pat]

For sure. A lot of people do. No question.

[Jeffy]

But we do have Maria Salazar talking about the Cuban situation.

[Pat]

Absolutely. She is awesome.

[Jeffy]

See, as usual with people who are from communist countries, because they've experienced it, they understand it, they know what the problem is and they don't want that problem to occur.

[Pat]

Correct.

[Jeffy]

So check this out. Cuts it.

[Maria Salazar]

And this is a message to the Castros. Look at Maduro. President Trump gave Maduro the opportunity to go with his wife, with his family somewhere else and with the millions that he stole from the Venezuelans. But Maduro thought that he would was smarter than President Trump. So I'm talking to Raul, to the cousin, to the nephew, to the, to the son and to the grandson. Pay attention. And look what happened to Maduro. It's time for you guys to go because there is a new sheriff in town and that sheriff is Donald Trump. And he is going to be able to do, and we will willing to do what no other president, 10 presidents, Democrats and Republicans dare to do with Cuba, which is to make it a friendly country for the benefit not only of the Cubans, of the Americans. Because you think about it, when President Trump said that his agenda was America first, this is indeed what's happening. Cuba is the mothership of evil in the Western hemisphere. Cuba is the. Is only export to terror. And when Trump said that the Western hemisphere was important because it's just like what Marco Rubio was saying, that the proximity of the Western hemisphere so close to the homeland that we need to protect it. So this is what's happening right now. Cuba, after the Castros will be a friend to the United States on the economic front, on the security front, on the political front, on the immigration front. So that's why we have. Thank you, Mr. Trump, for taking this action and for making the Cubans free again. And dear friends of the United States,

[Jeffy]

I don't know that I've ever seen anybody from Cuba who feels the opposite of Maria Salad. You ever seen that?

[Pat]

I don't think I have. I have not.

[Jeffy]

It's because they understand again, they lived it. They lived it and so they know what a problem communism is. It's pretty great. You know, the country has a few issues when people are willing to float across shark infested waters 90 miles on an inner tube.

[Pat]

Thank you.

[Jeffy]

Or a rubber duck. To get to the United States and get away from their country.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

They, they've got some issues. Things are broken there. And back in the 50s, Cuba was booming. It was doing really well. Yeah, it was doing really well. And now what would you say? Less than. Really? What? Suboptimal.

[Pat]

Suboptimal.

[Jeffy]

I think you might say suboptimal when you take a look at Cuba.

[Pat]

Once Fidel took over, it was done.

[Jeffy]

And this is the case throughout the Communist.

[Pat]

We talked about it yesterday as well. You know, Cuba's soon to be a territory of the United States of America.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

You know, we've already got Greenland, we've got Venezuela. She's obviously everybody is okay with us having Venezuela because they just acknowledge it now.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

It's ours.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And so the Mexico and the entire Central America. Maybe you ought to pay attention because.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

That's coming.

[Jeffy]

I mean, the Venezuelan thing is seemingly, seemingly gone pretty smoothly. Right. It's pretty amazing.

[Pat]

I don't even talk about it anymore.

[Jeffy]

It doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't even come up.

[Pat]

I mean, she doesn't come up. Just because you saw what happened to Maduro. He thought he was smarter than President Trump.

[Jeffy]

Yep. He wasn't. He wasn't. Every once in a while we'll see one of the boats.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jeffy]

That are, I guess, bringing drugs to the United States.

[Pat]

But they're not all.

[Jeffy]

They'll explode.

[Pat]

They're not all from Venezuela.

[Jeffy]

No, they're not.

[Pat]

And CENTCOM Cooper has got his eye on him, you know, so. And Pistol Pete, the Secretary of War man, he's ready to go at all times.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And we need to. You know, I don't know if Memorial Day is a good weekend to start bombing Iran, but is there a good weekend to start bombing Iran is the question.

[Jeffy]

It wouldn't surprise me really, to see it happen.

[Pat]

It would not. So I'm okay with that.

[Jeffy]

Keep an eye on that.

[Pat]

I'm okay with that.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Also we have Stephen Miller who's talking about the autopsy being done by the Democrats.

[Pat]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffy]

On the last election.

[Pat]

And. And he's always so good.

[Jeffy]

He's fantastic.

[Pat]

It's always so good.

[Jeffy]

He.

[Pat]

For this administration.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Here's what he had to say about it.

[General Jack Keane]

I think the big thing that we're missing here in all of this is this wasn't a normal election between two different parties and candidates. This was the culmination of a four year effort to outlaw the political opposition party in this country and put the Republican candidates, it and the Republican President of the United States behind bars. The major feature of this election campaign was a years long effort to disqualify President Trump from the ballot. Member Colorado even did in fact remove him from the ballot. An effort to incarcerate his senior officials and advisers to criminalize support for President Trump to financially bankrupt blacklist, date, deplatform

[Pat]

the, you know what, you put it like that.

[General Jack Keane]

501s, 501s, 4s, Political action committees and others supporting President Trump and again put President Trump behind bars for multiple life terms. That's what President Trump fought against and overcame to become President. He won the election for many reasons. But most importantly of all is the fact that in spite of all of these injustices, injustices, witch hunts, hoaxes and persecutions, the American people sided with fundamentally an agenda that puts Americans first. And they rejected the third world politics and policies of the Democrat Party. The major political dividing line in America today is between a first world vision of America and a third world vision of America. We see these politics playing out over and over again in every race all across this country. Look what's happening in Los Angeles right now. It's an entire mayoral campaign built on this issue. So we'll see. Is there a majority or a plurality of voters in Los Angeles that want to live in a first world city or want to live in a third world city? We'll find out. But that's what plays out. Those are the battle lines of every conflict in this country every single day. Do we lock up violent offenders or we let them rape and pillage innocent citizens? Do we incarcerate and jail Somali refugees who steal all of our welfare money? Or do we empower them to keep stealing? Do we have an open border flooded with migrants from the third world, or do we have a sealed, secure border? Do we have a jury system in this country in the English tradition that is fair and impartial and honest? Or is our criminal justice system like so many third world countries, where we simply incarcerate people because we don't like the tribe that they're in? Those are the dividing lines. Amazing. Americans in 2024 said we want to be a first world country again. We don't want to be a third world country anymore. We want Donald Trump to make America safe, strong, free, prosperous again.

[Jeffy]

I love him, Just I love the guy. He's brilliant.

[Pat]

It's most definitely is.

[Jeffy]

So well spoken, so unafraid. Just he gets the information out there. He knows the information. And he disseminates it really well.

[Pat]

Yes. And that's one thing that President Trump has done is.

[Jeffy]

But a lot of people in the office around him. Yeah.

[Pat]

Are able to communicate.

[Jeffy]

Yep.

[Pat]

Way better than the first administration. Yes.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. So it's pretty effective.

[Pat]

It is.

[Jeffy]

Triple eight, 727 Beck. More coming up in one minute. You know, you can learn a lot about a person by walking through their house. You see the height marks on the wall where they measured their kids growing up. The scratch on the floor from the time somebody dragged a Christmas tree stand through the living room, the back patio where a hundred barbecues happened. A house is never just a house. That's why buying or selling one is a lot more emotional than people sometimes expect it to be. And. And it's also why the person helping you through that process matters so much. That's why Glenn started Real estate agents. I trust he wanted to build a network of professionals who understand that they're not just moving property around on a spreadsheet, they're helping people through some of the biggest transitions of their lives. Because for most people, home is one of the most important words in the English language. So please check out realestateagentsitrust.com they'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in a really tough market. The name really says it all. It's real estate agents, I trust. Ten seconds, station id. You know, we're talking about what President Trump has been going through with the Democrats trying to prosecute him and put him in jail so he couldn't become president. Then you've got several things also pending, like the $83 million judgment to Eugene Carroll, which was insane to begin with.

[Pat]

Absolutely was.

[Jeffy]

Found him culpable for that. Well, a federal court just paused his 83 million dollar payment to Eugene Carroll. Pending. Pending a Supreme Court.

[Pat]

Yeah, they're continuing on with it. It means they didn't just throw it away, which they should have. The whole. That is just unbelievable to me.

[Jeffy]

If you follow the trial at all, it is really mind boggling.

[Pat]

It sure is.

[Jeffy]

That they found him responsible for that because she didn't even know what year it happened.

[Pat]

Didn't know the exact year. Yeah, I think I was wearing this dress.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, it was 94, 95, 96. I don't know. Somewhere in there.

[Pat]

That's right. Here's a picture of me wearing the dress that I was wearing the day Donald Trump attacked me. Oh, okay. Thanks. E anyone been to the store that she claims this happened in?

[Jeffy]

The Bergdorf?

[Pat]

Virtually Impossible for something like that to happen.

[Jeffy]

Right. There are.

[Pat]

Don't know.

[Jeffy]

In the store.

[Pat]

I don't know why the defense didn't just use that. I really don't.

[Jeffy]

It's amazing.

[Pat]

I mean, it's almost. It's virtually impossible now. It's. It may be me, but, you know, when I walk into Bergdorf.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Pat]

You know, it could be me.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

There's several. Several people just show up.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, they do.

[Pat]

Can we help you?

[Jeffy]

Yeah. Right, Right. And if you want to go into a dressing room, which is supposedly where this attack happened.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

It's locked.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

The door is locked. They've got to open it for you so you can try and close there.

[Pat]

So I'm. I'm guessing sure when Donald Trump walks in, they're gonna let down, walk around and do whatever the hell he wants. But he still doesn't have a key to the dressing room.

[Jeffy]

Right, right.

[Pat]

It was incredible.

[Jeffy]

It was preposterous, the whole thing. So the court granted Trump's request to pause that ruling, citing no objection from Carol. Actually, so long as Trump agreed to raise the bond by 7.46 million 3.

[Pat]

To throw some money in a pile again. Yeah.

[Jeffy]

To account for the interest that would accrue.

[Pat]

Yeah. So it gets settled.

[Jeffy]

We'll see how this works through the Supreme Court. But, you know, that was a win for him.

[Pat]

And she's such a nightmare.

[Jeffy]

Oh, my God. Strange.

[Pat]

Holy cow.

[Jeffy]

Strange and nightmarish. I mean, there's all kinds of little stories and yes, facts about her that just lead you to believe. Okay, that didn't happen.

[Pat]

Although I remember a time I was in Bergdorf since Donald Trump.

[Jeffy]

Did he attack you?

[Pat]

He may have it.

[Tim Burchett]

Oh, wow.

[Pat]

Yeah, wow.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, man.

[Pat]

So.

[Jeffy]

Well, you should get it tried in this court because they'll probably listen. All right, more coming up.

[Jeffy]

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. Triple 8727 Beck

[Pat]

so this kind of takes me awful actually. So a new report analyzed Google reviews of 200 natural and historic sites.

[Jeffy]

Okay.

[Pat]

To crown the world's most loved landmark. And then they give you multiple choice. The Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower or the Coliseum.

[Jeffy]

You only have three to choose from.

[Pat]

Right. And one of. One of the three is the, you know, the most loved landmark from Google reviews of 200. It doesn't. It never.

[Jeffy]

Not a single American site on that.

[Pat]

Well, I don't. Well, not for the top one. You know the. I don't see the list of the reviews of 200 natural and historic sites. So it's got to be American landmarks. Right? I mean you've got some pretty powerful ones.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Pat]

In this country. You know, before you go worry trouncing around Budapest, you know, maybe you take a look at the Grand Canyon in. Yeah, you know, something like that. There you go. There you go. Yeah. But according to this, the number one icon, the Coliseum.

[Jeffy]

That is pretty cool.

[Pat]

It is, it is.

[Jeffy]

I wouldn't mind going to Rome and seeing that.

[Pat]

I have a replica at the house.

[Jeffy]

Do you?

[Pat]

Yeah, I do. I got it with Gladiator 2.

[Jeffy]

Oh, of course. Yes.

[Pat]

The popcorn holder was.

[Jeffy]

Gladiator 2. Was that good?

[Pat]

I, I enjoyed it.

[Jeffy]

You did? Oh, that, that's. That doesn't sound like you really did.

[Pat]

So the Coliseum is up to the most four and five star reviews and people spent more time gushing about it than any other landmark. So I'd like to see the list. I'm gonna have to find the, the list of who they were choosing from. Yeah. Because I'm sure you know, it can't. There has to be. Hello, the United States of America.

[Jeffy]

I know.

[Pat]

Come on.

[Jeffy]

We're not in the top three. Please.

[Pat]

Very, very.

[Jeffy]

Although the Eiffel Tower is pretty cool. I, I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower. Never have.

[Pat]

But then you got to go to French.

[Jeffy]

Yeah. The. I. I have very little desire to see the Taj Mahal. I don't know. India doesn't seem like. Like a dream vacation to me.

[Pat]

Right. So my wife and my daughter really want to go to Europe, and. Yeah, I'd love to spend some time there.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, it'd be fun.

[Pat]

And I'm like. Like, you know, have a good time. You know, send me a couple pictures.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

Let me know how this goes.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

And. Whoo. Man.

[Jeffy]

I have an interesting list myself. Seven archaeological finds that confirm the accuracy of the Bible.

[Pat]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffy]

Because you'll hear from a lot of people about the, you know, cute little stories of your sky God. Yeah, that's what you'll get from, you know, from atheists a lot of the time. But there has been some pretty compelling finds that tend to prove what the Bible says is true. Like the Tell Dan steel was once common to hear that King David belonged more to tradition than to history. A useful founding figure whose existence couldn't be confirmed.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Jeffy]

But they found fragments of a 9th century BC inscription. Found it. Tell Dan. Written by a neighboring kingdom. It refers to the House of David.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

Using the standard language of dynasties. I do remember this doesn't tell us everything about King David, but it does show that within a couple of generations, surrounding nations did recognize a ruling line that traces back to him. So that's. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Number two, the Pontius Pilate inscription. The Gospels place Jesus within a very specific Roman context under a prefect named Pontius Pilate. Obviously, historians had references to Pilate in written sources, but for years, nothing really material. But there's a stone inscription that was just found in Caesarea. Well, not just found. It was found in 1961.

[Pat]

Just found, though, that.

[Jeffy]

I mean, just within the history of the thing.

[Pat]

Sometimes they find. Actually, it could have been found in 61, and then they just told us about it. Now, I guess I see that a lot in archaeological finds.

[Jeffy]

True. And so this did name Pilate and identified his office. So it's the kind of detail, as you said, that rarely makes headlines.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

But it does reinforce what the Gospels assume throughout. That they're describing events within a functioning Roman administration, not some abstract symbolic setting. Then, the Dead Sea Scrolls before the mid 20th century, the gap between the oldest surviving Hebrew manuscripts and the time of their composition left room for some speculation. Some assumed the text had shifted substantially over centuries. Then you've got the 1947 discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which changed the terms of that discussion, dating back more than a thousand years earlier than previously known manuscripts. They preserve large portions of the Old Testament. What stands out is not perfect uniformity, but consistency. Variants exist as they do in many any really manuscript tradition. But the overall stability of the text across such a long span you can't ignore, shows that.

[Pat]

Yeah, let me give me guess number one. All right. Probably that boat that everybody thinks was built. Whatever.

[Jeffy]

No, don't think.

[Pat]

No. Because I thought we found it.

[Jeffy]

I don't think.

[Pat]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffy]

Because I thought we mentioned that. It's not mentioned in this particular list. Wow. But the Pool of Shiloh is the Gospel of John.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Jeffy]

Been treated as more theological in tone, with less confidence placed in its geographical details. But in 2004, work in Jerusalem uncovered a stepped pool that matched.

[Pat]

Oh yeah.

[Jeffy]

The description of the pool of Siloam where Jesus sends a blind man to wash. What began as a partial discovery has gradually expanded. Last year, ongoing excavations revealed more of the pool's full extent, confirming that it was not just a small ritual basin, but a prominent landmark used by pilgrims making their way up to the temple. The discovery wasn't driven by an attempt to confirm the gospel. It emerged from routine excavation and has been clarified piece by piece ever since. Which is pretty cool.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Jeffy]

Hezekiah's tunnel. Biblical accounts of kings often face skepticism, especially when they describe large scale projects under pressure. In Second Kings and Second Chronicles, King Hezekiah prepares Jerusalem for an Assyrian invasion by securing the city's water supply, redirecting the Gihon spring so that it can't be used by enemy enemy forces outside the walls. It's described briefly in scripture, almost in passing, but the implication is pretty significant. A major engineering effort carried out under the pressure of an approaching army in Jerusalem. The tunnel itself has long been known and even traversed. It's an ancient water channel cutting through bedrock. What wasn't clear for centuries was whether this was the tunnel described in scripture or simply one of several. Significant doubt was removed in 1880 when two boys exploring the passage discovered an inscription a few meters from the southern exit carved into the wall. It describes workers digging from opposite ends and hearing each other's voices as they broke through. Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman ruled Palestine at the time, and the inscription was taken to Turkey, where it remains today. The tone is practical, even understated. It reads like the kind of record people leave when they've completed something difficult. Not the kind they invent later.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

Then there's the Cyrus cylinder. The Book of Ezra depicts Persia's Cyrus the Great permitting the exiled Jews of Judah the Southern kingdom centered on Jerusalem to return and rebuild their temple. Some skeptics have regarded that account as suspiciously convenient, exaggerated to fit a theological narrative, presenting Cyrus as a kind of divinely appointed liberate. Liberator. Liberator for Judah. A clay cylinder, though, discovered in Babylon in 1879, kind of complicates that view. It describes Cyrus restoring displaced people and supporting their religious practices across the empire, not as a one off gesture, but as a governing approach. This is something he. He did, apparently multiple times. And then there's the Kitoff Hinom scrolls, which I know you talk about oh, so often.

[Pat]

Scrolls.

[Jeffy]

Right. How many times have you talked, to

[Pat]

be honest, about them?

[Jeffy]

I'm sick of talking about them yet.

[Pat]

I'm gonna make you do it again.

[Jeffy]

Yeah, I'm gonna make. I'm gonna put you through it one more time. Debates over whether parts of the Old Testament were composed often turn on how early we can place recognizable text. Two small silver scrolls found in a burial site near Jerusalem in 1979 contain a version of the priestly blessing from numbers. The Lord bless you and keep you. The date to the 7th century BC before the Babylonian exile. Delicate and tightly rolled, they show that passages still read in churches, to still read in churches today, were already in use centuries earlier than some theories allowed. None of this, of course, proves the claims that matter most to Christians. But. And it doesn't attempt to weigh miracles or settle theology, but it does narrow the distance between biblical text and the world it describes.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

And it's what, you know, people who are skeptics will always cite. Well, you don't touch your style. Come on. That's not. That didn't actually happen.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

Okay.

[Pat]

Right.

[Jeffy]

All right. So it just, you know, it gives you a little bit of evidence to present it at Memorial Day parties this weekend, barbecue with your skeptical friend. That's what you need to do.

[Pat]

That's what you need to do.

[Jeffy]

Exactly.

[Pat]

I did find the. The. The list.

[Jeffy]

Okay.

[Pat]

[Pat]

And I think he left. I saw a clip earlier this morning of him in session, and he says the same thing that he said here to us. And, you know, the constituents from him, he was so angry that they were. It was some deal that they were working out. And the Republican leadership just turned it over. The Democrats.

[Jeffy]

Oh, geez. Here it is, everybody.

[Tim Burchett]

Tim Burchett just left committee. I had some amendments that were cutting regulation. Things that we should. As Republicans do.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Tim Burchett]

Because of backroom deals they cut. They won't allow any amendments on the bill because the Democrats would want. A Democrat didn't agree to it. So here we are in the majority.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Tim Burchett]

Not allowed to do that.

[Jeffy]

Thank you.

[Tim Burchett]

And I'll guarantee you when the Democrats are in the majority, they're not going to very much will. Could be because of this kind of garbage.

[Pat]

Yes.

[Tim Burchett]

We're going to be in the majority. You all have extended us an incredible gift. And we're gonna blow it because we're not acting like we're in the majority.

[General Jack Keane]

Yes.

[Tim Burchett]

We got opportunity.

[Jeffy]

Thank you, Tim.

[Tim Burchett]

It's not sexy.

[Jeffy]

No.

[Tim Burchett]

Deals with bridges and things.

[Jeffy]

Right.

[Pat]

Anyway, the bill.

[Tim Burchett]

The amendment did. And it. And we allow the Democrats to tell

[Jeffy]

us what to do. Preach.

[Tim Burchett]

Just unbelievable.

[Jeffy]

Preach to.

[Tim Burchett]

We have to give some guts.

[Jeffy]

Yeah.

[Tim Burchett]

This town is crooked as a dog's leg.

[Pat]

Disgusting.

[Tim Burchett]

So thank y' all for sending me here. I really am glad you sent me here. This kind of stuff I want to fight.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Tim Burchett]

And I'll let them have it.

[Jeffy]

Yep.

[Pat]

Anyway.

[Jeffy]

Anyway. I hear you.

[Tim Burchett]

Thank you.

[Jeffy]

You're welcome. And thank you.

[Pat]

No doubt. Thank you.

[Jeffy]

He should be pissed because it's insane that they have. Haven't. They haven't taken advantage of their majority at all this whole time.

[Pat]

Nope.

[Jeffy]

Could have been doing it. Got the executive branch. We have the legislative. Really? We kind of have the Supreme Court. I mean, what else do you need to get this stuff done? And they won't do it.

[Pat]

They won't.

[Jeffy]

I mean, but like he said, when the Democrats take over, I think they won't take advantage. Oh, you've been bet they will.

[Pat]

Bet they will.
