Episode Overview

This episode of The Glenn Beck Program covers a broad spectrum of current political, social, and cultural issues. The headline topic is the story of a biological male winning – and later being disqualified from – the World’s Strongest Woman competition. Hosts Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere use this story as a launchpad for a lively discussion on transgender policies in women’s sports, broader issues of fairness, and the current state of political discourse. Additional segments include a deep dive into the Ukraine-Russia peace deal reporting, skepticism about government-run programs, and viral stories about “hair discrimination” and Campbell’s Soup. The show maintains its typical mix of sarcasm, pointed analysis, and offbeat humor while taking on the week’s news.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal Developments

Timestamps: [04:07]–[14:19]

• Hosts dissect rapidly shifting stories on the Ukraine-Russia peace proposal.
• The leaked "28-point plan" seemed lopsided toward Russia at first; later reporting revealed it to be Russia’s initial wishlist, not a binding or agreed plan, explaining Ukraine's resistance.
• Ongoing issues with Ukrainian corruption, President Zelensky's standing, and the uncertain position of U.S./Western support.
• Speculation about who leaked the Russian document — with the suggestion its release was likely meant to sabotage peace talks.

Quote:

"That leak seems to have blown up the peace process. That's kind of a big deal." – Stu Burguiere [12:10]

• Discussion also covered the greater implications of U.S. military support for Ukraine, NATO and Taiwan, and the possibility of shifting global alliances.

---

2. U.S. Military Support and Foreign Conflicts

Timestamps: [14:19]–[23:04]

• Critique on the practicality and reality of American defense promises—especially via NATO.
• Express skepticism about the true nature of security guarantees for allies like Taiwan and recent NATO members.
• Points out a common theme: "moral support" vs. substantive military involvement.

Quote:

"I mean, are we gonna be there moving furniture? No, no, no, no. Just give us a call...We'll give you moral support. Yes. You guys are great. You can do this." – Stu & Pat [16:18–16:32]

---

3. Government-Run Grocery Stores & ‘Food Deserts’

Timestamps: [24:35]–[39:39]

• Pat and Stu lampoon attempts at publicly funded grocery markets, describing them as quintessentially failed socialist experiments (“varying levels of success” = failure).
• Stu recounts his reporting on “food deserts” and finds the designation is often not true in practice.
• Debate over whether government intervention genuinely solves access issues or is an excuse for more political spending.

Quote:

"It is amazing because I thought, okay, I want to see, see if you know, these publicly run or owned, these government owned grocery stores are actually succeeding. Not one place did they mention where it's working." – Pat Gray [33:10]

---

4. Cultural Narratives: Food, Health, and Personal Choice

Timestamps: [39:39]–[44:00]

• Dismisses narratives about “food deserts” and poor food choices being about lack of access rather than personal preference.
• Mockery of dietary scaremongering and regulatory trends (e.g., bans on food coloring).
• Jokes about RFK Jr.'s anti-junk food crusade, with Trump reportedly serving him a Big Mac.

---

5. Transgender Athletes and The ‘World’s Strongest Woman’ Scandal

Timestamps: [86:33]–[102:32]

Key Storyline

• The world’s strongest woman competition in Texas is won by Jammy Booker, a biological male, by a substantial margin over female competitors. After discovery, Booker is disqualified, and rightful female winners are bumped up.
• Hosts analyze the obvious physical advantages, critique existing policies, and discuss wider backlash.
• General consensus: Men's participation in women’s competitions is unfair; the notion is extended to other sports.
• Reference to Riley Gaines, who became a prominent voice after personal experience of competing against a trans woman in NCAA swimming.

Notable Quotes:

"If it's legal for men to be in the world's Strongest women contest, I think men would do really well." – Stu [88:19]

"See, you're a stickler. Not in the competition or in the locker room. Yeah, I'm a stickler for that." – Pat Gray [92:55]

6. Virality and Pushback: Women’s Spaces and Trans Policies

Timestamps: [122:18]–[126:00]

• Clip: Activist Tish Hyman confronts Rep. Eric Swalwell at a campaign event, pressing him on men in women’s spaces and protections for women.
• Hyman eloquently defends the need for sex-segregated sports and safe spaces for women, challenges the “trans kids” narrative, and asserts, “There are no trans kids, there are just children. Stop transforming children. No one can make a decision that young.” [124:34].

Hosts' Reaction:

• Hyman lauded as “brave” for standing up and dominating the event with her message.
• Scathing humor directed at Eric Swalwell and generalized Democratic positions on the issue.

7. Other Key Segments & Themes

Hair Discrimination and The CROWN Act

Timestamps: [67:02]–[79:48]

• Pennsylvania’s new CROWN Act, banning hair discrimination, is ridiculed.
• Hosts brush aside the notion that companies are enforcing “Eurocentric” beauty standards, and claim the vast majority don’t care about employees’ hair so long as it’s presentable and hygienic.

"As whitey...can we speak as whitey here, Pat? Official statement from the whites: We don't care what your hair looks like." – Stu [73:37]

Campbell Soup Bioengineered Meat Controversy

Timestamps: [104:01]–[109:38]

• Discussion of a viral lawsuit/recording where a Campbell Soup executive allegedly disparages the company’s use of “bioengineered” ingredients and insults its customer base.
• The company denies the accuracy, says the executive had no connection to food production.

Political Retaliation and Lawfare

Timestamps: [82:09]–[84:12]

• Debate on the rise of reciprocal prosecutions among political elites and how that breaks down longstanding norms.

"There's an era that existed for a long time where, generally speaking, you didn't go after your political opponents...I think that era is dead." – Stu [82:47]

Black Friday & Holiday Commercialism

Timestamps: [61:49]–[117:08]

• Mock commentary on the stretching of Black Friday into a week-long sales fest.
• Sarcastic takedowns of annual complaints about retailers opening on Thanksgiving/Black Friday; defense that commerce and work are, for many employees, options and opportunities.

Structure & Tone

The episode follows a loose, topic-hopping structure characteristic of conservative talk radio, blending news coverage, pointed cultural commentary, and dry wit. The hosts frequently pivot from breaking headlines and interviews to skeptical or sarcastic asides. Their tone is incredulous, critical of mainstream narratives, and openly disdainful towards progressive social policy trends, often using humor to underline their stances.

Notably, the episode provides a sharp on-air moment of pushback against Democratic policies from women’s rights activist Tish Hyman. The World’s Strongest Woman competition’s disqualification story is used as a lens to discuss political correctness and fairness more broadly.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is the Glenn Beck program.

[Pat Gray]

What patents do today for Glenn. Let's talk about the Ukrainian peace deal. Get into that a little bit and at least what we know of it so far coming up in one minute.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, because we have some new information from even just yesterday. The story is developing pretty fast. Let me tell you about Burna. Most people want protection that they can can carry confidently. And Verna just made it easier with the Compact Launcher. This is the smallest launcher they've ever made. It's the thickness of about two smartphones, which makes it genuinely easy to conceal, carry, and comfortable to keep you, really keep you safe. And you can keep it right on you wherever you go. It fires at 400ft per second, so this is not like some wimpy device. The Compact Launcher is proudly American, with more than 80% of its components sourced right here in the US and every pistol hand assembled in Fort Wayne. Wayne, Indiana. We love for Wayne. According to FBI data, less than 0.01% of altercations require a lethal response, which is why having reliable non Lethal options make the world a much better place. And it is more important that people realize the burner launcher uses powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with 60 foot range. And a single shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. It's trusted by more than 500 government agencies, police departments and private security firms. And it is legally legal in all 50 states. The Burn A Black Friday sale ends today. Get 15 off site wide. Go to BurnA.com Glenn Find the right launcher for you. It's 15 off at BurnA.com B Y R N A.com Glenn.

[Pat Gray]

What if we tried Burna on some of those boats that are coming from Venezuela? Would that work?

[Stu Burguiere]

I think they'd prefer.

[Pat Gray]

I think they would. Yeah, I think they would.

[Stu Burguiere]

They probably would on that one.

[Pat Gray]

So the peace situation, situation in Ukraine, we do have a little more information. We didn't know a lot about it yesterday.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yep. Everything's fine. It's all solved.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's all done.

[Stu Burguiere]

In fact, world peace has been achieved.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

In the last 24 hours. So congratulations to everyone involved.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. So no matter where you go, peace reigns on this planet.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

Great. It's really good.

[Stu Burguiere]

A surprising beginning to your Thanksgiving weekend. Yeah, no, there are some pretty big developments. First of all, I feel like we were totally misled by the reporting, as I've said here now for the 10,000th time since I began this program back in the day. But the initial reporting, and we talked about this yesterday, we had no idea what was actually in this peace deal. Everyone was talking about it, and we were very suspicious about the way the story was being told even yesterday. And I think our suspicion was well placed because what we learn over the past 24 hours is this all started with the Trump administration essentially trying to replicate their success with Gaza. Right. They decided they were like, what if we kind of go back at this and take the same approach we took with Israel and Gaza and see if we can hammer this thing out this way? It started with Wyckoff and Kushner and they go to Russia and get what Russia wants. Right. They start with Russia, they go to Russia same way they started with Israel. They went to Israel and they said, okay, well, you're, you would say maybe the upper hand. They went to that country first and said, hey, what do you want out of this? What can you accept? What are your red lines? Where can we draw these lines? Give me some points. They get the points, which seemingly are that 28 page or 28.1 pager that kind of goes through everything. So then they go back to Ukraine, which is, I don't know, only like a week ago, and they start getting their points. What it seems like now is that what we viewed as this 28 point plan that seemed to really favor Russia, did really favor Russia because it was their plan. Right. Like it was the Russian plan and it was leaked before we got a final version of this with a lot of Ukraine's input. Now that is a massive change as to what we were initially told. And it makes a lot more sense. We talked about this yesterday. If you're Ukraine, really, you're gonna agree to this? It seems like it's aggressively against you. Well, it was, it was Russia's wish list, basically.

[Pat Gray]

It's like, you can have Kharkiv. We get the rest of the country.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

That kind of thing.

[Stu Burguiere]

And not the entire, not all of it. You get that one kind of.

[Pat Gray]

There's a shoe store in Kharkiv that you guys can have.

[Stu Burguiere]

Have.

[Pat Gray]

That's yours.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now, you can't have shoes inside. We're gonna take the shoes, but you can live inside the shoe store.

[Pat Gray]

Or at least.

[Stu Burguiere]

And by the way, we also hit it with a drone last night. But you, you can have what's left of that building.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

That proposal from Russia was not approved by Ukraine.

[Pat Gray]

Weird. And so, and we did say yesterday, this sounds pretty bad for Ukraine. Yes, and it was.

[Stu Burguiere]

And it was. Because it wasn't the final deal. Yeah. Now there is, there's more to this, of course. The big issue being that, yeah, Ukraine might agree to something with some changes. The problem is, once they start changing it, does Russia agree? And that's where I think we're gonna run into a big issue here. I don't think Russia's gonna agree to any of the changes Ukraine wants. And Ukraine's in a tough spot right now because they are kind of embroiled in a corruption scandal. I know this is gonna shock you bad.

[Pat Gray]

It does. Yeah. Wait, what?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I know because. Because Zelensky came in with an anti corruption platform.

[Pat Gray]

Not. Not the president Volodymyr Zelensky, who played a piano with his noodle once. Not that guy.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's not in it. Right. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

His noodle. Is that the technical.

[Pat Gray]

That's a technical term.

[Stu Burguiere]

Medical.

[Pat Gray]

It's a scientific term. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. You have to excuse me. I did not go to medical school, so I did not know that was the understandable. Yeah, so he played. So I don't know how much the noodle playing of the piano made its way into the corruption scandal or the negotiations here. But he apparently did that. And then in addition to that, also had a good buddy who reportedly allegedly was bilking the government for nine figures. So that tends to get in the way.

[Pat Gray]

Nine figures. Okay, you think seven is a million, eight is tens of millions. So over $100 million.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, that was the. It was. $100 million was at least the grand scope of the entire sch. Now, of course, obviously there's lots of denials here. You know, Zelensky, would that surprise you, though?

[Pat Gray]

That would not surprise me.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, look, I think there's a. I'm not like anti Ukraine. No, I'm really not. I think there's.

[Pat Gray]

I'm just anti funding this forever. That's all.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm anti funding this forever.

[Pat Gray]

But I want them to. I want them to continue to be a sovereign nation not ruled by Russia.

[Stu Burguiere]

Exactly. And I'd rather have Ukraine's in the world than I'd have Russia's in the world for sure. That's. You might not agree with that, but that's definitely how I feel on this. And that being said, Ukraine very well known for its corruption problem. This goes back to.

[Pat Gray]

He was one of the most corrupt. I mean, before all this began, they were known as one of the most corrupt governments on earth.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now at some point it switched to. If you pointed that out, you were a pro Russian government, you love Vladimir Putin, which it's.

[Pat Gray]

You're practically in love with him.

[Stu Burguiere]

But you go back, this is not only what they're saying now, what Trump has said, there's a Biden scandal related to. This goes back to the Obama administration. This has been going on for a very long time. And so it's not surprising at all that they would have a corruption scandal. The reason why Zelenskyy's in office is because he stepped in and said, I will stop the corruption, which indicates there was corruption. Now, a little bit, it does seem that at the very least he was unable to stop that, or as some would accuse him of being maybe more friend to it when his buddies are the ones involved. Now, of course, he would deny this. The accusation here and the difficulties that they're dealing with around that accusation has put Zelenskyy in a very weak position. And so this is a time where Russia is saying, well, let's go, I'm not giving up anything. This guy barely can stay in office right now. We're not giving up anything. Not to mention that obviously they have a long term favorability when it comes to just force. They've got a lot more people, they got more weapons, they've got obviously nuclear weapons. And Ukraine is very dependent on us and Europe to even hold the lines that we have. But all this being said goes back to, it was not a giveaway to Russia as was initially reported, at least that's how it seems today. Will they change all the reporting tomorrow? They might, but what we kind of know now is, hey, it looks, looks like, yeah, it was sort of a plan that was designed by Russia because it was the first step in a process that they already executed successfully in Gaza where they went to Israel and then they had back channel dealings with Hamas to get their red lines and wish lists and then they combined them, came up with compromises, went back and forth, presented this final deal. That was the plan here. And somebody leaked the Russian part of this. Now that's an interesting part of this whole conversation, Pat. Who leaked it? How did it leak? What was the intention of that leak? Because that leak seems to have blown up the peace process. That's kind of a big deal.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Somebody who didn't want this to be.

[Pat Gray]

Solved leaked all this stuff.

[Stu Burguiere]

At least that's the accusation.

[Pat Gray]

And now it's basically blown up. Right, because, and we don't really have all the specifics of whatever it was that was agreed upon by Ukraine supposedly. Right, because they, no, they manipulated all the stuff that they got from Russia and it's not the same deal. But mostly what we reported yesterday was most of what Russia wanted. And so we were just assuming that it was a lot of the 28 point plan, but I don't think that's any of it's been released.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, one of the bits and pieces have been at least reported. Again, you're depending on reporting and that's always difficult. But one of the issues was Russia wanted the Ukrainian military to drop down to, I believe it was 600,000 troops. And Ukraine is basically like, no, we're going to keep it the same, we're not going to drop it at all. Now that's 800.

[Pat Gray]

So they didn't even agree to the 800,000 we talked about yesterday.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's been talk about, about that, but the latest that I heard was that they didn't want any reduction at all. Now maybe that the final position was they came in between and said 800,000. Maybe that's what we'll find out. But the bottom line is they did push back on that yesterday. We were saying how could they accept that? How could they. Well, they didn't. Apparently they didn't. So I don't think Ukraine sees themselves as this is over for them. I don't think that they feel they have to just accept anything. I don't feel like they're that much on their he. However, the suspicion is behind the scenes. We're saying, look, this is not the Biden plan. This is not as much as you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want. Well, I'm sorry, we can't do that forever. So you better, even if it sucks for you, you better figure out a way to get out of this so that at some point, if we have to stop supporting you, you aren't in a position where you just have to surrender.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. It's not a blank check anymore. Right. Can't be. It can't.

[Stu Burguiere]

It can't even be for us. We don't even have the stuff for ourselves to, to, to fund a war and to support a war that goes on for forever.

[Pat Gray]

There are rumors that our weapon supply is really compromised now because of everything we've given to them.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm sure it is.

[Pat Gray]

And so you can't have that. I mean, there's other things brewing all over the world, and we can't be depleted like that. You. You can't allow it. I mean, there's. There's something bubbling over in Japan right now. Xi Jinping just called President Trump with what's going on with. With the Japanese because Japan has said they're taking a strong stand for Taiwan and saying that there's. Taiwan's security is Japan's security. And so Xi Jinping got on the phone with. With President Trump and said, do you want to talk him down from that position, please? I mean, things are a little bit iffy right now. We're kind of on a knife's edge here with several situations. And the, the thought process is that China has almost decided that they're going to take Taiwan next year. That's what. Or in 2027, one of the two. A lot of people believe that they've set a date for it, and it's. It's coming in the next year or two. So that could be ugly. It could be ugly. Now, we don't have an actual military agreement with the Taiwanese. We, we will give them support, but we don't have an agreement like we did prior to the 70s where if they were attacked that we would help them militarily. That's not a thing, and I think a lot of people believe it is.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I kind.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's not.

[Stu Burguiere]

What is the distinction there? Because we certainly talk.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, something like a. Like a support. Like, we'll give you a.

[Stu Burguiere]

We got you guys.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, no, just you. Yeah, we'll help you move. Yeah, just give us a call, you know.

[Pat Gray]

Yes. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, are we gonna be there moving furniture? No, no, no, no. Just give us a call and, you.

[Pat Gray]

Know, like, we give you a moral support. Yes. You guys are great. You can do this. You got this.

[Stu Burguiere]

I guess, honestly, that's probably the reality with a lot of these agreements, even the ones that are in writing at the end of the day, if. If there's a massive, Even NATO, you wonder. I know, how does that hold up in a real situation? Like. Yeah, if we, you know, we.

[Tanya]

We.

[Stu Burguiere]

Was it. Finland was the most recent addition? Or is it probably.

[Pat Gray]

Or Norway? I can't.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was one of those.

[Pat Gray]

I.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was one of those countries. I think it was Finland, wasn't it? Anyway, we were like, wow, you're in NATO now. Congratulations. You've been here for six months. If Russia invades Finland, what are we really doing now? I don't know. It might be a call for moral support. I'm concerned about this. Certainly we would help with weapons. Certainly we would help in many ways. But I do wonder how, in a real world situation, how NATO performs in that world, do all these countries really go in and start attacking Russia?

[Pat Gray]

I think it's like with a 401K. We'll wait till they're fully vested.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

In NATO. Okay. Yeah. It's like the full benefits, 15 year process. Yeah. You don't get.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do they know that? I don't think they know that.

[Pat Gray]

They do now.

[Stu Burguiere]

They do now. We're sorry.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

By the way, we're sorry. You're. You're better.

[Tanya]

What.

[Stu Burguiere]

What is vested for you is slingshots. We were going to send you a bunch of slingshots. Good. Good luck.

[Pat Gray]

Pat and Stu for Glenn today. So how far would you go for, let's say, a NATO company, our country for, for Finland, for instance? I mean, if Russia does, in fact ever, and I, I don't expect them to anytime soon, but if they did invade Finland, would you want to commit military to that effort? Would you want to put boots on the ground in Finland? I don't know that I'm quite there.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because, I mean, that's, I mean, bless our promise.

[Pat Gray]

Love, love Finland. My. My son served a mission there for two years. I. But do I want to defend them with military?

Love your language.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think, first of all, NATO has no value. If we don't, we don't. If the official position is not that we would just go in and help, what's the point of it if we don't say that with boots on the ground? I'm saying something totally different as a talk show host, a guy sitting in Texas.

[Pat Gray]

But I mean, what are people committed to, though, as far as NATO is concerned? I mean, Poland, Finland, all this stuff.

[Tanya]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Czech Republic. I don't know. Good luck, everybody.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. I wonder if, if things really, you know, I think there's a good argument to be made that we would be very involved. I just don't know how involved we would be. And I think when you go outside of the walls of NATO, when you get outside of that concept, when you're in, you're talking about a Taiwan. I just, I'm sure we'd be supportive. I'm sure we'd send weapons. I'm sure we would support in some.

[Pat Gray]

Way monetary support, weapons support. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would be surprised if we didn't. But.

[Pat Gray]

And we don't want it to fall. I mean, what is it, 85% of the computer chips in the world are made there.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And there's always this. If this does happen, do we just go in and bomb these chip factories so that China can't get any. Any. Anything out of it? Like, they don't get the advantage now? I don't know. That. That seems to me to be more like a plot line of a movie or like, it's almost like fantasy league.

[Pat Gray]

National Foreign Affairs, James Patterson novels.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, it does kind of seem like that, but I don't know. That's a lot of stuff gets. Is real. It's based on real things, real plans.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

So I don't know that we would do that. That. And I wonder. NATO at one time, I think, was strong enough to support every country's really being like, no, we're going in there. I don't know. If Russia got on the march, though, there very well might be a change in attitude on that. People realizing, wait a minute, this is like a Germany back in the day. We better do something about this. Again, we're talking about a scenario where they are invading multiple countries in Europe. Europe, certainly, I think, would step in because they would say, this is coming to.

[Pat Gray]

Not.

[Stu Burguiere]

They're not like, yeah, that's been the argument probably enough.

[Pat Gray]

That's been the argument with Ukraine.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I think it's. I do think, by the way, this is a real concern for Russia, especially for Europe. I would be concerned about it in Europe.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would be like, wait, what are they doing? I, you know, you pointed out yesterday, they have some arguments going back many years that have some validity to them when it comes to promises made to Russia in the post Soviet era that were not kept up by the West. So. So there are sides to this, but the key thing is that Ukraine is not in NATO. And so we were able to say, no, we're done. We'll send him some weapons or whatever. Good luck, guys. You know, that's the way it works. It gets into NATO territory. It could be a totally different story. This is Glenn Beck.

[Pat Gray]

Patton Stufer Glenn this week Triple eight seven two seven Beck. You know, it's not just New York where they're trying the government run grocery stores. They're doing this in, in Atlanta now too.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh great. Yeah, let's expand that idea.

[Pat Gray]

It's a great idea. You know, communism. Why hasn't anybody done it right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, they've never done it right.

[Pat Gray]

They've never done it right. You know, if it's just done right, it's an incredibly wonderful system.

[Stu Burguiere]

It would work perfectly if it worked perfectly.

[Pat Gray]

Right, right, exactly.

[Stu Burguiere]

They never talk about that.

[Pat Gray]

Don't, they don't. And the right person just hasn't done it yet. Yeah, but obviously Zoran Mamdani is the right person. He's the guy for that job. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think when you're looking to implement a massive overhaul of the world's financial capital, what you want to do is get some completely unaccomplished guy who just came here from Uganda and just kind of like throw them into the job. You know, a lot of I think it is, you know, sometimes people learn too much. They understand the world a little too, too well and then they get these jobs. They don't know what they're doing right. You gotta throw in a guy who's never accomplished a thing in his entire life except rap about how bad Jews are. You need that guy to step in.

[Pat Gray]

Good rap too.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, now again, I, I, I'm not a rap aficionado like you are. Like when I think of Pat, you are right.

[Pat Gray]

Really.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, when you think of who, who would be the expert in the world of rap? You said Pat Gray.

[Pat Gray]

A lot of people would say that.

[Stu Burguiere]

A lot of people do say a lot. Online especially.

[Pat Gray]

It's true.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. Like I see a lot of those articles where like One commenter said, pat Gray really knows his rap. I love articles like that.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, me too. Yeah, me too. So they're going to try this in Atlanta? Well, when the Azalea Fresh Market opened this summer, it became the only supermarket to operate in the city's downtown area in two decades. To make that happen, the city contributed 8 million in cash, grants and loans.

[Stu Burguiere]

Walk me through this because I used to do a series on my previous show for BlazeTV called the Wonderful World of Song Do. And it was a series called Deserted. And it was an investigation of food deserts across America and what I found in all of the food deserts that I went to. These are areas that supposedly had no opportunity to buy groceries. All of them had plenty of opportunity to buy groceries. It was just a lie. Like, I would go to places that were literally claimed by the federal government to be food deserts and find three grocery stores within four blocks of each other. Right. Like the grocery stores, some of them small, some of them large, some of them, you know, inside a Walmart. So there was other things inside. Like, I don't know what line they would come up with. They'd be like, well, this doesn't count because it doesn't have X, Y or Z product. It only has 9,000 other products. Or it was hard to even determine.

[Pat Gray]

It had to be fresh food. Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

It couldn't be a fast food joint, for instance.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And what. And I don't. There are almost always restaurants, so you could always go and buy things, but they're talking about grocery stores. We kind of kept that.

[Pat Gray]

You could get produce, couldn't you?

[Stu Burguiere]

At most, every single one of them.

[Pat Gray]

Desert.

[Stu Burguiere]

Every single one of them that we. Maybe we did eight episodes or something like that of that series, and they.

[Pat Gray]

All featured fresh produce.

[Stu Burguiere]

What started it was, I looked at. This is a serious thing. I looked at the list of food deserts and we live in an area that's, I think, nice. Like it's Dallas, Texas, lots of nice suburbs. We are working in a city called Irving that has a lot of stuff going on. Like a lot of stuff in it. In between, around the airport, there's a bunch of big kind of suburbs and large areas, but there's stuff kind of everywhere. One of the reasons why I like living down here is everywhere you go, you can pretty much get anything you want. It's very easy. I lived in Connecticut, I grew up in Connecticut, and there's plenty of stuff there too. But a lot of times it was 50, 15 minute drives to go to grocery stores because there was Maybe a more rural area. Here there is very, very available food and kind of everything you want. So I go one of the places that we go to do our grocery shopping. Again, I'm a person who is. I'm not living in any city. I'm living in a town. The place I go to do my grocery shopping, which is five minutes, 10 minutes from my house, whatever it is like a quick drink drive, is in a food desert. I'm literally grocery shopping inside of a food desert on a regular basis. This is when this started. So I went and I looked. Not only was there one grocery store that I would do my grocery shopping inside of a food desert, there's another one. Like there's like a Walmart. Then there's a Target right around the corner. Then there is a, you know, like an upscale sort of. At the time, I can't think of the name of it, but it's like an upscale grocery store. It's got some produce, it's a smaller place, but it's also got some prepared.

[Pat Gray]

Foods, like a Trader Joe's.

[Stu Burguiere]

It wasn't a Trader Joe's. It was that type of place, smaller than a Whole Foods, but it was more. There's that and then there was another place that had some stuff all in this area that was designed as a food desert. Now, I don't know why, but it was one of those super Walmart that has like 78,000 varieties of cereal. When you go there, it's massive. And they're telling me, well, people just can't find food here. Michelle Obama's telling me, oh, well, just. People just struggle to find any food. So I don't. Would it actually be true that you can't buy groceries in the, quote, downtown of Atlanta?

[Pat Gray]

No, I don't believe it. I don't either.

[Stu Burguiere]

If you live in downtown Atlanta, please give me a call. Do you have groceries in your home? Have you been able to purchase. And this goes beyond the fact that we now have things like Instacart.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Where you can get groceries delivered wherever you are. Now, I understand if you. There's a certain income level there that might be like there's fees associated with it. So not for everybody, but groceries are.

[Pat Gray]

Pretty freaking available everywhere, almost everywhere in this country. So this particular market they're talking about, the Azalea Fresh market, is a 20,000 square foot. That's the beginning of what officials hope will be more publicly funded but privately run supermarkets to come. They, they want this to happen all over the place. Other towns across America have experimented with similar stories with what they say are varying levels of success.

[Stu Burguiere]

So that's a great way of saying everything failed.

[Pat Gray]

It was a hyperlink, so I clicked on it to see the varying levels. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, cool.

[Pat Gray]

So the afore the aforementioned varying levels of success, I clicked on that and I found out where they're experiencing success. And as a matter of fact, all the stores they mentioned, kitchen, where they're experiencing the various. Various levels are either closed or are closing. You could call that varying levels. I don't know if our success works there, but maybe varying levels of failure would work.

[Stu Burguiere]

Very. Yes. Okay, so this is. Though, let's be clear about what happened here and what the problem is. The problem is you.

[Pat Gray]

Me.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're not supposed to click that link.

[Pat Gray]

No, you're not.

[Stu Burguiere]

That is not how the media works.

[Pat Gray]

Don't be curious about their view. Varying levels.

[Stu Burguiere]

They made a claim. Just live with the claim with it. They. There was success. There was some. Here's what you're supposed to take from this report. Some were only modestly successful. Others were incredibly successful. Maybe the most successful thing ever created. Somewhere in there is where all these stars fell. In reality, all of them failed.

[Pat Gray]

All of them. It is amazing because I thought, okay, I want to see, see if you know, these publicly run or owned, these government owned grocery stores are actually succeeding. Not one place did they mention where it's working. Well, not one.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of course not.

[Pat Gray]

And they said, now, did this town of a thousand people in Erie, Kansas have the answer? Well, no, they didn't because it's not working either. There's a Walmart 15 miles away that people go to avoid.

[Stu Burguiere]

The government run one in the town.

[Pat Gray]

Town of a thousand people. It's unreal how bad all of these grocery stores fare. And you know, the same thing happens with the other thing he's talking about, and that's the free buses. The free buses in we. They said that it's being tried in four other cities in America. We looked up all four.

[Stu Burguiere]

How's that going?

[Pat Gray]

It's failed in all four.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wait, would you say there's varying levels of success?

[Pat Gray]

I would say varying levels, yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Of total failure. So it's failed everywhere else. Everywhere. Kansas City just closed. Closed up. Theirs stopped doing it. There were several, like three other places. And for a while it was working in one of them. And then they shut it down too. It just doesn't work.

[Stu Burguiere]

The standard of for a while it's working is even misleading because. What does that mean? Yeah, the fact that the, the, the.

[Pat Gray]

That they haven't completely gone belly up.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. That's a totally different standard than working.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

The fact that it still exists and. And is able.

[Pat Gray]

Is it making money for a while? No. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

What happens is, is these things cost gigantic amounts of money. People don't use them. And eventually politics says, okay, well, we can't continue to fund this thing that people aren't using or we're gonna lose our jobs, they're gonna vote us out. And so eventually the money dries up. And that's why they fail. They don't fail because they lose money because of course they're losing money. There's no way for them to make money.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

The money's coming from the taxpayer. If you don't include all the free money from the taxpayer, then all these programs look wonderful for a time. That's like when they say free health care. Right. Well, I mean, I guess in theory, if the American people decided it was correct to donate multiple billions of dollars constantly to these programs, well, they can stay afloat for a while. It doesn't mean you get good service, doesn't mean it's something that people enjoy. But you can throw money at these things and people like getting this stuff for free.

[Pat Gray]

You can keep it going for a while.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But eventually it's going to collapse.

[Stu Burguiere]

People's money dries up.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I don't even understand, like, a lot of times they're like, well, if we put a grocery store in this area, it's because people. Did you know that people can't walk to the grocery store to get their groceries? You know what sucks is walking to get your groceries. Like, that's a terrible way to get your groceries. Now, I understand in some city environments to do that. Right.

[Pat Gray]

Like, nobody.

[Stu Burguiere]

If you're living in Mary Manhattan.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

You have to. Maybe it's not easy. I mean, you're probably gonna take an Uber with a large order.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

But for a lot of people in a city environment, sometimes it would be great to have a store right across the street. I guess that you go over and carry all those heavy bags across the street to your house, but that's not what most people do. I drive all the time. 5, 10, 15 minutes. Not because there's nothing closer. It's because I'm going to.

[Pat Gray]

Choose the.

[Stu Burguiere]

Store out of the incredible bounty that capitalism has provided. Y like, hey, I've got 14 choices of where to go shop. Where do I go? Now you get deep. Some rural areas where, you know, there's no people where, where you drive for 10 minutes. And you've been looking at one property the whole time like, yeah, there's not going to be a grocery store in every corner there. It doesn't make any sense.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that's a food desert.

[Tanya]

Is it?

[Stu Burguiere]

Is that really what we're talking about here? Like these, these are made up terms. It's nonsense. It's a way to take more of your money and direct it toward a giant project started by Karl Marx many years ago. And mom, Donnie's in the middle of trying to do that to the world's financial capital.

[Pat Gray]

God, this is not going to work out well. No, it is not. Triple 8, 727 back.

[Pat Gray]

Are they still even using the term food deserts? I don't, I don't hear that as much after your. Yeah, eight episodes. I wonder if that shut them down.

[Stu Burguiere]

We shut it down.

[Pat Gray]

Look at that stupid gear. Just pointed out what liars we are. I guess we gotta stop this. It seems like it ended kind of with Obama. That was a big deal during the Obama years was people living in food deserts where they can't get fresh food, they can't get produce. They can't. I mean they can get burgers or they could get fries but they can't get a banana.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, that's. That's the idea is, you see, the power problem with our health, Pat, is that people want to choose zucchini but just can't. So they keep getting Big Macs. It's the dumbest argument in the world. People just like Big Macs more. That's what the. That's the secret. The secret sauce here is their secret sauce. That is like.

[Pat Gray]

That's no doubt about that, too. It's just. That's true. That's just fact.

[Stu Burguiere]

They. I will say you're right in that it's not promoted nearly as much. Like, a lot of the stuff are. Are older references to the food desert thing. Maybe we did solve it. Why didn't we take a victory lap on that?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Stupid should take a victory lap on that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

But now what the thing is, is no preservatives and no more. No food coloring. You can't use red dye number five and stuff. All the JFK juniors or RFK Junior stuff. Yeah, yeah. JFK doesn't.

[Stu Burguiere]

He doesn't really as much talk. Again, just like the food. He doesn't barely even talk anything even.

[Pat Gray]

You hardly ever hear from him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Very quiet.

[Pat Gray]

It's weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. RFK Jr. Though, is talking about this stuff a lot. And, you know, I guess that's the thing. Look, the bottom line is people make bad choices about what they eat because the stuff that is a good choice sucks.

[Pat Gray]

Right, Right. That's.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's the. That's the secret to. To the world.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

When you want to unlock the. The. The secret of health.

[Pat Gray]

Let's see. I could have spinach, or I can have a cheeseburger. Mmm.

[Stu Burguiere]

People just.

[Pat Gray]

I'm going to go cheeseburger. Yeah. Yeah. Every time.

[Stu Burguiere]

And. And honestly, honestly, like, these companies could make tons of profit on spinach if people wanted the spinach.

[Tanya]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like, they. Yeah, they'd really be excited. Yeah. Like, McDonald's would. Would serve spinach if people wanted it. I assure you, they just don't. People don't want it.

[Pat Gray]

I love the. I love it when. When President Trump talks about having RFK Jr. On the. On Air Force One with him when they served McDonald's and he had him eat a Big Mac, he actually ate a Big Mac. Wait, you mean Mr. Health Food Ate a Big Mac?

[Stu Burguiere]

If you have a hoodie, sometimes you pick up that hoodie or T shirt, it's already kind of clear that it's not something that's going to last. Right. It's got the thin fabric. It's got loose seams.

[Stu Burguiere]

IPhone 11 or later required so you.

[Pat Gray]

Saw the video that they did about don't you don't have to accept orders. They were talking to the military. Mark Kelly was among them speaking to our U.S. military that you don't have to accept illegal orders. Right. And there were, it was Mark Kelly and there was a bunch of other.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, was one of them.

[Pat Gray]

No idea who they are.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's all military members, former military or CIA.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, yes. CIA or, or, or military members themselves. And then with that message to the military. And here is Mark Kelly on Rachel Maddow talking about that video.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let me first just get your response.

[Tish Hyman]

To this threat from the Defense Department.

[Stu Burguiere]

Saying that they are investigating you. They may potentially recall you to active duty to face a court martial.

[Pat Gray]

Well, Rachel, I said something that was pretty simple and non controversial, not. And that was that members of the military should follow the law. And in response to that, Donald Trump said I should be executed.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's the issue.

[Pat Gray]

I should be. He didn't say you should be executed or hanged. I can't even listen to this guy. This despicable lying sack knows exactly what he was doing and why it's controversial. He knows why.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of course.

[Pat Gray]

What do think you even. Why are you even addressing the military and saying this to them?

[Stu Burguiere]

A couple of them have blurted this out now because people keep pressing them. They're like, well why would you do that? And he'll say, well, this is exactly why we're doing it because we're out of control as a government. So they are now kind of admitting the reason they did the video, which they didn't initially, which is they believe zero specifics. I have not heard, however, not heard one media organization use the term without evidence to describe their claims because none of them can describe what has actually been done. That is illegal.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

They just keep saying, you know, you know, we just want to make sure people don't do things that are illegal. Why?

[Pat Gray]

Why is that an issue?

[Stu Burguiere]

Why?

[Pat Gray]

When has it ever been an issue? I know Republicans did that under the Obama administration or Biden and they would have had a fit if they did. If a bunch of Republican senators got on and were talking to the US Military about not accepting illegal orders. They be like, why are you even bringing that up? When did Barack Obama do anything illegal? So I, I mean it's just, it's despicable. And besides that, it puts that little doubt. What they're trying to do is create that doubt in members of the military that when the commander in chief does give them orders, is that, was that an illegal order? Is that what I was warned about? I mean it's really dangerous. It's really dangerous and he should be investigated.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know. Just not to quibble at all with your take here. He did pretty much, he did sort of say that they should be executed. I gotta point it out.

[Pat Gray]

He did say he's talking sedition. He didn't say they committed it necessarily, did he?

[Stu Burguiere]

It's honestly the same line these congressmen are doing. They're like, well hey guys, whatever you do, don't listen to illegal orders when obviously what they're doing is accusing them. What he technically said was seditious behavior punishable by death. Well that's got nothing to do with them. He's just saying it guys. It's a dumb line used. I will say, you know, I, but.

[Pat Gray]

He didn't say I'm going to have Mark Kelly executed.

[Stu Burguiere]

And of course the most important part of this, and we brought this up yesterday, there's a 0% chance that's going to happen. Obviously it's not going. Whether he should say it or not is another conversation. But like it's not going to happen. He did also repost another, another person's message that said, quote hang them. George Washington would. And again, I don't know if that's ideal.

[Pat Gray]

I did not see that one. George Washington actually did hang traitors and he hung them in public. A lot of people think he hung them on his front lawn. I don't believe he did that at his home. I, I'm just for property values.

[Stu Burguiere]

He wouldn't want to do that.

[Pat Gray]

You don't to. No, the neighbors get pissed because it does drop the value.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that's. We got that directly from the agents at Realestate Agents I trust dot com. They're like, hey, whatever you do, don't hang people on. Don't paint a room a crazy color cuz people don't like that. And don't hang people on your front lawn.

[Pat Gray]

Now you tell me just last week.

[Stu Burguiere]

H so again, I don't think any of this is helpful. How about that for a summary of the story? Nothing that's occurred around it is good. You shouldn't come out and do. Do what they did to start all of this, which is make this video. And the response has not been. I think it's been somewhat suboptimal as well. I think, though, what the investigation is about is trying to dig into how all of this happened. I think there's a suspicion within the Trump administration that they didn't just decide one day to make this very coordinated.

[Pat Gray]

Video what is suspected here.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think, you know, I think they think that there is a more direct. Where they're sort of denying we didn't say that we never told them to do that. I think they are going to. They think they're going to go into the text messages and find out that they did actually want to encourage them to do this for a reason that might lead to chaotic outcomes.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I think so, again, it could be anything. I think they want a chance to look at all those messages and investigate and see what they can find.

[Pat Gray]

And by they. Are we talking about leadership in the Democrat Party?

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I'm talking about the Republican. I'm talking about. I think the Trump administration and the DOJ and the military suspect this video was made with either an outward goal. Goal of getting military members to disobey orders.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, I think, yes. I think that's.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I think it's blatantly true. I think we all can say, hey, yeah, we think that's true, but we don't have evidence of that. What they think is.

[Pat Gray]

But they're gonna look into it.

[Stu Burguiere]

If they do an investigation, they're going to find that evidence.

[Pat Gray]

Could well be.

[Stu Burguiere]

And also, who knows who's funding this? And again, this is just a small video. They obviously could have made it for free. But oftentimes these things start with an organization that is attempting to influence our politics. And was that part of the situation at all? So I think that's their belief, or at least suspicion in this case. And I think if they can get into an investigation, they can root out what actually happened because it was jarring. Just from the perspective of. What are you talking about? What do you mean? Well, of course you don't do things. It's like saying a video coming out, hey, guys, don't murder people today. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we're not saying there's anything wrong with you reminding them not to break the law, but what's your motivation? What would bring you to say something like that? And look, there are examples of the left saying that he's doing things. I mean, they've called his. When he's Bringing troops into these cities to shut down riots and stuff. They say that's illegal. They say the Venezuela. Venezuela boat stuff is illegal. There's a lot of things that are saying are illegal right now.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

So I think it is tied to that. I think they want to know if there is a real evidentiary tie or is it just, you know, our suspicion.

[Pat Gray]

The Venezuelan boat thing is not my favorite thing.

[Stu Burguiere]

You just don't like traveling on them or.

[Pat Gray]

What's your.

[Stu Burguiere]

What's your problem with Venezuelan boats, Pat?

[Pat Gray]

Killing the people on them is, I think, an issue just indiscriminately wiping them out without, you know, let's. I mean, due process might be a thing there. You know, maybe you pull them over, maybe you board them. Maybe there's an interdiction there that's kind.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of in what we've done in the past.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. And that's what they'll say, but. Okay, so now you went from that to escalating it to just kill him? I. I guess if you are 100% convinced that these are all narco terrorists, you don't have that much sympathy for them, right? I guess if.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. You know, that's why it's not a big issue to the American people.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, they don't care.

[Pat Gray]

We just believe they're narco terrorists and.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, we're believing the government. You know, a lot of the people who are totally fine with this are a lot of the people that have told me over and over again, like, you know, hey, you know, you can't get involved in foreign conflicts because, hey, remember when everyone said they were 100% convinced there was weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Yeah, that would be a lot easier probably, to determine. Determine as opposed to whether one individual guy is an ARCO terrorist. I also will say the location of these things has been interesting to me.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Are they in the open sea? Are they really on their way to the United States?

[Stu Burguiere]

They're like, in these small little boats off the coast of Venezuela. It's really far.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's a long way.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm not saying they couldn't get here, but should we wait until they're halfway? I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

That's been my take.

[Stu Burguiere]

How about this? Wait until hill there within 10 miles.

[Pat Gray]

When you're in the Gulf of Mexico, maybe we start.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You got. You have a legitimate argument at that point. Like what? You know, because what they said that one of the Colombian. They're like, oh, it was just a fisherman. Now it's a fisherman. Like probably. Honestly, it's probably a fisherman. Just like it was just a Maryland father.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, probably.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right, it's probably. Probably. But we do have ways of dealing with this that isn't, isn't just droning them. Now, of course, the truth of the matter here is Donald Trump has looked at the situation and said, yeah, we've done all those things before. They didn't work. We keep having these situations and we're sending a message. This is absolutely. There's a reason they're posting all the videos on social media. This is not about these individual terrorists. They want everyone to determine exploding.

[Pat Gray]

And they're. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I will say this. If I was in Venezuela would not be boating for any reason. Reason I would not go out on a joyous booze cruise to celebrate a work party because God only knows what's going to happen. And if I feel that way, I'm not even in Venezuela or near a boat. I can't imagine what the people who are actually terrorists think. They're at the very least developing different routes here. I could tell you that.

[Pat Gray]

No question.

[Stu Burguiere]

So I think that probably is working. Now, there are legal questions associated with that, Pat.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Usually you have to be at war with a country to do such a thing. And there is an internal document that's been leaked out that basically has a justification saying we're at war with this cartel. And there's some questions about whether you can get away with that legally. But it's one of those great situations. Sort of like the TikTok ban I was complaining about yesterday. You know, most people just like TikTok. And so they're not complaining about the fact that we passed a law in both houses of Congress. It went to the president, he signed it, it went to the Supreme Court and it was unanimously upheld. And we're just not implementing it. That's not something the country should be doing. But most people are like, eh, it's only the Chinese Communist Party controlling the thoughts of our children. Who cares?

[Pat Gray]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, what's the big deal?

[Pat Gray]

Heel.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I really think that lip sync video of the Kardashians is hilarious. And that's kind of where we are where they think.

[Pat Gray]

And we're, we're upwards of a hundred people now and we, I guess we just assume they're all bad people and they deserve to die.

[Stu Burguiere]

And so we've seen almost no evidence supporting that now.

[Pat Gray]

I've seen any. I, my belief is, and the villagers are saying a lot of them are.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just, of course they're saying that they've.

[Pat Gray]

Said, though, that these boats and these boats don't look like they're long range boats to me.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Maybe they can make it to America.

[Tanya]

I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

The villagers are saying they can't. There was no way they could make it to America. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe, maybe.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, maybe they, they, they cut the corner and. Because it's very different, this is something that not everybody knows. Not very easy to get from Venezuela to the United States by foot. This is a difficult journey. There's an entire place, not a road. Yeah, right. Like through this bizarre jungle that they Is so such a treacherous area. There's not even a road to drive through. You have to like. It's really terrible. And it's one of the highest crime areas, like on earth.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's basically a lawless zone in between us and them. And so maybe they're just cutting the corner, just going into like, you know, Belize or something and just be like, let's just drop all this stuff off there. You can walk it in. I don't know. I, I'd like to know.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Here's. That's another part of it is the case hasn't really been made.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, show us the case. That's what I've kind of been wanting to see. And show us the evidence.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think everyone says the evidence is these drugs are coming into our country and killing our people. So that's the evidence.

[Pat Gray]

But we don't know that they are bringing them. Especially these individuals, these people. Yeah, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

In fact, you wonder if we even know their names. Maybe they do. Look, we have really impressive intelligence resources and maybe they do.

[Pat Gray]

Maybe.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would like the case to be made a little bit clearer and the legal justification to be spelled out, the fact that there's senators in his own party, President Trump's own party. And this is a big Rubio thing, by the way. Rubio, very big on this. Senators who are friends with Rubio from the Senate days are like, hey, do you mind just explaining what the legal justification is? Can we get like a piece of paper that says, hey, this is why we're doing this and how we're able to do it, because it's not normal behavior for the United States.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

And look, this situation might deserve out of the box solutions. This is out of the box, Very out of the box. But it should, I think, I think because it's such a popular thing to get rid of a narco terrorist, there's not A massive demand by the American people to hear the justification. Yeah, but we should go again. Process is important on this stuff.

[Pat Gray]

We should.

[Stu Burguiere]

We should know.

[Pat Gray]

I think so.

[Stu Burguiere]

We should at least know. At least the senators on these big committees should know.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Call me picky, but I don't know that you blow 100 people out of the the water just like that with no evidence that you're presenting to anybody. Maybe it's just me. 888-727-BECK More coming up.

[Tanya]

Holiday time is high crime season. But not all crimes should be addressed the same way. According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less than 1% of the time. Burna covers the other 99% of altercations with the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. So next time you think you need lethal for Byrna, start with Byrna. By R N A I carry one myself. I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Byrna launcher. The New Berna Compact is the world's smallest less lethal pistol. Concealable anywhere, it fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes. With 60ft of range, you can confidently and effectively de escalate a situation without the use of lethal force. No background checks. Legal in all 50 states. Shipped straight to your door. And Burna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies. Visit byrna byrna.com and find the right launcher for your family. By r n a.com that's byrna.com.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, the official Glenn Beck Black Friday sale is live right now. People don't understand what Friday means anymore. I've noticed over this period.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, because it's Wednesday.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's Wednesday and every Black Friday sale now starts way earlier than Black Friday.

[Pat Gray]

I've noticed that.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's an interesting development recently. But the official Glenn, we're on the bandwagon. We're not.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, good.

[Stu Burguiere]

We're not going to say, hey, we think the date, the day is the day.

[Pat Gray]

We're going to say we're sticking to that day. We're sticking.

[Stu Burguiere]

We're not going to do that. We're not hardcore like that. We will say that everything in the Glenn Beck Merch store is 25% off today. Get the perfect Christmas gifts. Stand for truth.

Or else, or else we're going to drone you.

[Pat Gray]

Okay. Blow you right out of the.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just like a Venezuelan boat.

[Pat Gray]

Okay? Don't go fishing if you don't go there right now, do not go fishing in the next few days.

[Stu Burguiere]

What if you're in Venezuela, Pat, and you're like, I own a riverboat cruise that goes out in the ocean a little bit.

[Pat Gray]

Not going.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't. I feel like business is down. But it is down.

[Pat Gray]

I bet it is. Would you even go fishing if you're. No, I wouldn't. I'm not going fishing. I'm not. No, I'm not.

[Stu Burguiere]

If. And if I'm going out, I'm taking a right. Like, if I'm coming off the coast of Venezuela, I'm not going left towards America. I'm going right. I'm going, I don't know, somewhere south.

[Pat Gray]

No question.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't care what, I don't. I don't care what the real situation is. And then when I get, when I'm coming back home, staying real close to the coast, hoping they don't notice, don't go into international waters. For sure.

[Pat Gray]

For sure.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because I think that all of these have happened in international waters. Right.

[Pat Gray]

Otherwise it's an act of war.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

So, but again, that yet.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. So that's.

[Pat Gray]

But we might. I mean, it does seem like we're preparing for war with Venezuela, does it not? It seems like we're getting ready or.

[Stu Burguiere]

At least we're trying to.

[Pat Gray]

At least, at least sending that message to. Yeah, yeah. So I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. I will say that the New Yorker is still trying to soft pedal all the illegal aliens and people who have committed crimes for a really long time. They just want them to continue to be able to commit those, those crimes here in the United States of America. They document the deportation of Jamaican national Orville Etoria to a prison facility in Eswatini. And they, they're trying to make this out like it's a really terrible thing. And they quote, quoted the illegal alien who is being deported as saying, it helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt going to another land in shackles and chains. And then there was a little community note attached to this, by the way, Herville is going in shackles and chains not because he's a slave, but because he's committed serious felonies, including robbery and murder. So that's. That's why he's going to one of our facilities in Eswatini now. Oh, yeah. So a little bit different situation now. If we, maybe we saw something like that on the Venezuelan situation, I'd feel a little bit better about it.

[Tanya]

All right.

[Pat Gray]

What do these guys do? Help me out with that.

The truth still matters, and Glenn still sends it out every day. Sign up today@glenn beck.com.

[Pat Gray]

It's Fenton Stufer. Glenn, you know, something we've been talking about till we're blue in the face is hair discrimination. I mean, if there's one thing I feel strongly about, it's hair discrimination.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's funny. I was on Apple podcasts the other day, by the way. Go there, leave a review of the Glenn program. Studios America. Pat Gray Unleashed. But I was on there and I clicked on Pat Gray Unleashed to listen to your wonderful program and realized it was number one in the category of black hair discrimination.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, it's. We're pretty passionate about it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I didn't realize.

[Pat Gray]

We want it to stop. We. I want the black hair discrimination to stop. And so do others, apparently.

[Stu Burguiere]

Good.

[Pat Gray]

Apparently there's. There's going to be no more hair discrimination in Pennsylvania. They finally put their. Their feet down on this particular issue. Check this out. Clip 10.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sign the crown act into law. All right.

[Pat Gray]

Crown Act. Yeah. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

The next step in making Good on that promise of bringing about real freedom for all.

[Pat Gray]

Real freedom.

[Tish Hyman]

So Freedom Public Policy Campaign is my brainchild in a nationwide effort I have led since 2000.

[Stu Burguiere]

What a weird thing to say about yourself.

[Pat Gray]

I know.

[Tish Hyman]

Determining it was necessary to change the law to help redress the long standing and problematic practice of racial discrimination. Discrimination in the form of hair discrimination.

[Pat Gray]

Very problematic.

[Tish Hyman]

I subsequently developed the national legislative.

[Stu Burguiere]

So much I want to say and.

[Tish Hyman]

Coalition building strategies for this movement because for too long a myopic notion of professionalism and Eurocentric standards of beauty have perpetuated racial inequity.

[Pat Gray]

For just a second. How many times have I talked about the Eurocentric standards of beauty on this show?

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, many, many others other shows. Many, many bumper sticker. It says please stop the Eurocentric focus of thing.

[Pat Gray]

Whatever it was going on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I can't remember the exact bumper sticker pattern, but I know you have.

[Pat Gray]

I've got so many on my car.

[Stu Burguiere]

Here, I just can't keep driving too many. I will say but.

[Pat Gray]

And then who's the person on her.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is what I wanted to say. T shirt on her T shirt.

[Pat Gray]

Is that her? Does she have a picture of herself on her shirt?

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. I mentioned this as she was talking. First of all, the brainchild thing is what other people say that about you, right? Like this is the brainchild. Kexi Cookie's the brainchild of Jackie Gray. That's what you say about someone else when you're describing them. You don't say this is my brainchild. You're bragging about something that I assume she thinks is good, though I think is dumb. For me it's an insult if it's her brainchild.

[Pat Gray]

But.

[Stu Burguiere]

But that's a whole other thing. The secondary part about it is. Show us this picture again. This is about hair discrimination. You know that like she's wearing a T shirt of a woman with like kind of like a very big hair. It's you know, kind of crazy colors. Yellow, green, red, all these different colors. All this to be said is her hair is totally normal. Her actual hair is just like normal and parted like my hair is.

[Pat Gray]

It looks Eurocentric, frankly.

[Stu Burguiere]

It looks very Eurocentric. Very basic, normal everyday person's hair that you'd see anyway. It's nothing. It's not all the example of something that would be discriminated against if this was even a thing.

[Pat Gray]

What you would imagine they're talking about are dreadlocks. I guess Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

I guess.

[Pat Gray]

I mean, are people discriminated against if they have dreadlocks? Is that what there is? Is that what you're supposed to assume from this? Because. Because I don't know of this hair discrimination problem. I didn't realize this was such an issue that she's been campaigning nationwide for.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, she had a brainchild. She had to do something with a kid.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

She had to do something, which is show up with Josh Shapiro and bolster his 2028 campaign.

[Pat Gray]

So glad Pennsylvania finally did something about it. But let her finish here. This is great stuff.

[Tish Hyman]

Too many black children have. Have been suspended than just what should be valuable instruction time because their hair, worn in ways that are aligned with their racial identity, have been deemed a violation of school rules. I am a child growing up in the Virgin Islands with natural hair.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wait, hold on for a second. My favorite part about this is a guy in the last part of this clip who is standing behind him totally bald. My God. Is he. What about bald people? Discrimination? No one's even talking about that.

[Pat Gray]

Not even talking about it.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's like, yeah, this isn't cultural. I just don't have any hair. And he's like, I'm going to the hair discrimination thing. I want my picture there. I want to be in the hair discrimination crowd hanging out behind Josh Shapiro as he's trying to win in 2028.

[Pat Gray]

And he's good for him for showing up.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes, for sure. Right.

[Tish Hyman]

There's more that your hair has been braids, twists, locks all my life. That's all I know. As you know, I still have locks, but wearing my natural hair, totally fine and all that.

[Pat Gray]

I know.

[Tish Hyman]

But yeah, as I opened my salon and spoke to different clients, clients that wear braids, that's telling me, Lorraine, I have to take these braids out. I have a job interview or look, Lorraine, I have to cut my locks down because my job stays too long. And the. The recent one was my client who says, lorraine, they talking about me. I have to do something. I have to cut my locks because of my job. You know, it's. They saying it's unprofessional to have locks. And I'm like, wow, look, we know.

[Stu Burguiere]

That this is an issue that disproportionately affects black Pensacola.

[Pat Gray]

Hold on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Dish proportion. Like locks and natural braids.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, no. Or twists.

[Stu Burguiere]

And it can manifest. This is such a core interest in Josh getting so authentic simply because as he was reading or getting passed over for a job because of the way. And now you can't do that. Let's stop for a second. This. This is so insulting. This is so insultingly stupid. First of all, Josh Shapiro knows nothing about what he's talking about here. Quite obviously, he just. Just reading a piece of paper. He does not know anything about this topic. What I always find interesting about this is one thing that we should, like, be clear about. As whitey. Can we speak as whitey here, Pat? Official statement from the whites. We don't care what your hair looks like.

[Pat Gray]

Not at all.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know why this impression came through. None of us care. It's like someone saying, hey, you stop looking at my elbows all the time. You're always looking at my elbows. You're always staring at me. Got my elbows? I'm not looking at your elbows, dude. I don't care about your elbows. Your elbows can look however they want to look. I don't care. That's how I feel about the hair thing. I don't know anyone who cares. I don't what black people's hair looks like at all. And I don't think anyone. I don't know anyone who would say, you know what? I was. I was interested in hiring an African American, but only one with straight hair. I'm a huge racist that would only hire white people, but I'll make an exception for black people with straight hair hair. Well, who is this person?

[Pat Gray]

I don't know. Who.

[Stu Burguiere]

What?

[Pat Gray]

What? Michelle Obama was on a similar kick last week. She was talking about how terrible it is that black women have to straighten their hair to please white people. We.

[Stu Burguiere]

We're not pleased. You don't need to please us what.

[Pat Gray]

Your hair looks like. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever said, you know what? Black people better straighten out their hair or they're not gonna get a job. Not with me, not in my company. I can't imagine it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, the problem with the whole argument is if you're that person, if you're a person who would say that ridiculous thing, you need to straighten your hair out or I'm not gonna. Because I don't like authentic African American hair. If that's you, then you don't hire black people at all. Because you probably have a problem with black people, right? You're probably a racist. And I guess that person could exist. I' saying there's nobody in America who feels that way. There probably are people who feel that way. But, like, if you. The skin would be the thing that you're gonna have.

[Pat Gray]

Certainly not rampant with.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right? And it's certainly not rampant if you're already A racist. You're probably racist based on the skin color and the hair. Being straight is not gonna overwhelm that instinct of yours.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

So it doesn't even make sense. At the very core of it now, I'm trying to. Stretching this to the completely ridiculous extreme, is there a job in which certain hair is more appropriate? Like, I don't know, like, I'm, you know, you think about, like, Bob Marley's hair. If he's like, I don't know, your chef. Like, I don't know. Is that. Is it. I'm sure there's a way to put it up.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Like, if you put a hair net on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Put a hair net on. But there could be some restrictions there.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. For anybody. You should write a hair net around food.

[Stu Burguiere]

And, like, I think too, like, if you're thinking of a. Let's look at a. If you're a banker or something, some high level job, you're in suits of all the time, there could be. I can't think of what it would be, but there could be a hair. For example, I might say to someone who came in with a mohawk and say, hey, we're doing $10 million deals here. I don't think the mohawk's gonna work in these meetings. I'm sorry about that. Now, Clubber Lange had a mohawk in Rocky iii. I don't know that it's necessarily a culturally African American hairdo. I don't know the origins of it, honestly.

[Pat Gray]

I've seen a lot of white people.

[Stu Burguiere]

White Mohawk, both whites and blacks, wear that haircut, but it would be inappropriate for that job. So is there something. None of the haircuts these people seem to have are even close to these lines.

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Stu Burguiere]

They all look very nice. And, I mean, there is a maintenance level for certain jobs that you have to hit. That's not a racially insensitive thing. It's like, if your hair is a complete disaster, then, yeah, it's gotta be a problem. If you smell. If you've got a Mohawk, if you've got a. You know, if you have, like, 80s, you know, hair, metal, long, you know, flowing locks. As a white guy, you know, I'm sorry, I don't know that, like, accounting necessarily is the right field for that haircut. Like, can you do something about it? Can you trim it up a little? I don't think that has nothing to do with race. So there is. It's such a. There's an immediate jumping to this. And, like, I just feel like, as white people, maybe we should communicate this More clearly, we don't care. We literally don't care. We don't really notice your hair all that much. I'm sure. I'm sure it's lovely. I don't mean to demean.

[Pat Gray]

And then we'll be told that brace too.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Why don't you notice my hair?

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Pat Gray]

Why not?

[Stu Burguiere]

That's like when they say, like, why? Well, why. Why don't you date trans. Trans women.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Well, and it, you know, because it's gone from, you know, judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of skin. Well, now if you're. If you're colorblind, that's a bad thing according to many a. Wait, you. Of course you should notice that. That they're black or Hispanic or white or whatever, because that's not even a thing anymore. So they've changed the rules on us so many times. It's hard to really know which way to go on that. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And this is why, of course, I don't care about the rules.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I don't.

[Stu Burguiere]

What I'm going to do is what I think is right and I stick by I believe. I didn't start believing in judging people as individuals based on some rule the left made for me. I believed it because I think it's the right thing. It's the right way to handle people. I don't like thinking of people as members of groups. That's the last left does. That's not what I do. I judge people by the content of.

[Pat Gray]

Their character and how straight their hair is.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, no, no, Pat, you added that addendum to it and that's not.

[Pat Gray]

You sure?

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm positive. That's not how I do it. And here's the thing. I know culture has changed a bunch of times.

[Pat Gray]

You're right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like they have made a bunch of different new rules that we're all supposed to follow. I haven't followed any of them. I've decided, as I know you have. You make a decision based on what you believe is right and then you maintain that position as long as you believe it continually is right. There might be a time you change your opinion, but if you believe in something like treating people as individuals, treating them based on their merit, not on whether their hair is wavy or not, then you just move on with your life. And you don't listen to all the left wing nonsense when they change the rules on you. That's the right way to live life. I believe.

[Pat Gray]

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

[Stu Burguiere]

Teach your kids right. Shoot. You know schools won't do it for you. This is Glenn.

[Pat Gray]

As patents do for Glenn today. 888. 727 Beck. Do you see? They arrested some supposed relative of character Caroline Levitt, which I think you know. What does that say? That says doesn't matter who's whose relative you have. If you're here illegally, we're, we're going to arrest you. And it doesn't, it doesn't matter. You're not even protected because your relative is the White House spokesperson. I think this person is her brother. Brother's ex wife is what I think because they describe.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's ex wife. Okay.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. They described her as the mother of Caroline Levitt's nephew, which I think would mean it was her brother's wife. Right. This is her sister in law or former sister in law because they're not married. I don't think they're married anymore and she hasn't talked to her in years apparently. But yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

So I don't know that it necessarily makes the point that maybe not. I think they would go after someone they believe. I think they crime.

[Pat Gray]

I think they would. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I don't know that that proves it.

[Pat Gray]

If it was her mom, right. And her mom was here illegally and they went after her mom, then that would say it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Probably a little stronger than this does.

[Stu Burguiere]

I really do think we are now in the. There's an era that existed for a long time where, generally speaking, you didn't go after your political opponents, I would argue, even when they were pretty obvious, obviously guilty. Right. Because you wanted to maintain this idea that it wasn't political. Oh, I think that era is dead.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I think so, too.

[Stu Burguiere]

By the way, the.

[Pat Gray]

The.

[Stu Burguiere]

We have the murderer. It was Joe Biden. Joe Biden murdered that era.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And. And every other Democrat in that. In that vicinity when they went after Donald Trump and they were warned, you.

[Pat Gray]

Know what, this, you know what's going to happen. You're going to set this off and there's going to be reciprocation here, and you're not going to like it. You're not always going to be in office, and something's going to happen to you. And they just ignored that and went ahead anyway. And I think that, you know, there are reasons for what President Trump are doing beyond it was done to him, but they did open a door here, and now people are walking through it. So you made your bed.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Now you have to lie. Annie.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sad story. It's a sad, sad story. I do think it's bad for the country overall, but it is something that I think is. I think that whole thing is over.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think we're gonna get this. Every single time one party comes in, they're gonna do this type of thing to the other party. Not a great.

[Pat Gray]

Sure looks that way. This is Glenn.

[Stu Burguiere]

Becky.

[Pat Gray]

So we got an interesting story that may have been set right for a change. A lot of times these things just. Just go the wrong way. And this one went the wrong way at first. And then when they found out that a woman had won a. Or a man had won a women's competition. Competition. They corrected it. Or at least they said they didn't know. We'll get into that coming up here in a few minutes. Who does. Who do the Eagles play this weekend?

[Stu Burguiere]

Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their completely ridiculous loss to the Dallas Cowboys, face off against the 8 and 3 Chicago Bears on Black Friday.

[Pat Gray]

It's a tough one. You know, the. The North Division of the nfc.

[Stu Burguiere]

Pretty good. Pretty good, yeah. Pretty good team there. What's your vibe on the packers this year?

[Pat Gray]

Very confused by them.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes, I would say very.

[Pat Gray]

They've beaten good teams and lost to really bad ones.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And sometimes they just look like really awful. Sometimes great.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Very strange.

[Pat Gray]

I don't know what to make of it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sam.

[Pat Gray]

Down the road where shadows hide Feel.

[Stu Burguiere]

The dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

[Pat Gray]

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is the Glenn Beck program.

[Pat Gray]

Pat and Stu for Glenn today, Strongest women competition just happened in Arlington, Texas. Strongest woman in the world and it was a man. We'll tell you about that coming up in 60 seconds. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let's first talk to you about blinds.com now shopping for blinds shades. All that stuff usually turns into one of those huge projects that you put off because it feels over overwhelming.

Rules and restrictions apply. See blinds.com for details. @blinds.com in our family room, we love them. Had them for years now and holding up great. And they're just fantastic. It's a really easy way to do it.

[Pat Gray]

So blinds.com so the world's strongest woman was for a short time a man, a biological man.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now if they're able to qualify for this, I think this would happen often. Pat, if it's legal for men to be in the world's Strongest women contest, I think men would do really well.

[Pat Gray]

If you think so.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

So are you saying that as a rule, men are generally stronger than women?

[Stu Burguiere]

If I'm going to do some generalization here, especially at the, let's put it at the very top bench of the spectrum.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

Strongest man versus strongest woman.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm gonna go with a man.

[Pat Gray]

You're gonna go with the man.

[Stu Burguiere]

I've seen.

[Pat Gray]

That's weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

Remember when ESPN used to run the the World's strongest man from like 1987.

[Pat Gray]

All day.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because they had no other programming to put on.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

I remember those guys. They carried really heavy things. I don't think women could do it.

[Pat Gray]

And lifted really heavy weights.

[Stu Burguiere]

Pulled buses.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

With their teeth, I think.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

All I remember it was really crazy. And I'd watched the same one like I knew some guy named Jorge going to win it at the end. I still watch it anyway.

[Pat Gray]

Me too.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sven Yson, he's going to try to lift an entire tractor trailer with his over his big toe. He got it. Everyone goes crazy. Well, the four people that are there go crazy.

[Pat Gray]

Uhhuh. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And then the other guy is like, ah, Another win for Sven Jolson.

[Pat Gray]

Dang it. I was. I thought it was going to. I thought I was going to be stronger than Sven this year because I've been working out really hard.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, no, it's always. He's always the guy. Guy that wins.

[Pat Gray]

Well, this time for the women, it was Jammy Booker.

[Stu Burguiere]

Jammy.

[Pat Gray]

Jammy. Jammy Booker.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like one Mike May, a nickname for pajamas. Yes, Jammies.

[Pat Gray]

Jammy Booker.

[Stu Burguiere]

Jammy Booker.

[Pat Gray]

He. She. They lifted something like £118 more than this. The runner up person. And then it turned out afterwards. Yeah, yeah. Because that's a biological man. And so what they did was disqualified him her and gave it to the runner up instead and then promoted third place to second place. And so they fixed it. I mean, when does that ever happen? Now.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. That's great.

[Pat Gray]

So it's incredible.

[Stu Burguiere]

They basically said they didn't know they weren't.

[Pat Gray]

They said they didn't, huh? Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now I. Yeah. I will say one of the things that trans people talk about a lot is like a trans day of visitors visibility. We want people to see us. We exist and we want people to see us. And my response to that is always like, yeah, we see you. We're well aware that you're there. We notice every time. It's very, very obvious to us that you are there. Because usually when I see a guy in a skirt stands out.

[Pat Gray]

It does.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's noticeable just a bit. So the visibility, really not your problem, I think you're arguing for, in theory is the lack of visibility. Like you'd like not be noticed. At least that's what I thought the issue was. Now, the theory is that they need to be more visible, which again, you're doing a great job with it. You're incredibly visible. So in this situation, however, I did see the video and I didn't immediately have that same reaction. Like I didn't look at it and say, oh, that's definitely a guy. I mean, he's definitely a big. Much bigger than the other participants, it seems. But I didn't necessarily know immediately, did you? You.

[Pat Gray]

I did not.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

I, like, I'm looking at the person now, and I don't think I would have guessed. I don't.

[Stu Burguiere]

Could have gone either way on it. Wasn't like, oh, that's definitely a woman.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I. I didn't. I wasn't like, oh, that's definitely a dude.

[Pat Gray]

Here's the thing. This might shock you, but all of the women in the World's Strongest Woman competition are somewhat large.

[Stu Burguiere]

They're bulky. They're a little bulky. You got to have some bulk to lift.

[Pat Gray]

They got some meat on their bones, and you could tell they've been working out a little bit.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

And so they're hefty.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now, would you say, as a rule, that every participant in the Strongest Women competition has to be a woman? Is it a requirement or is it something that we're just trying to like? We'd like it to be the case.

[Pat Gray]

No, I'm going to go a little stronger than that and say we'd like them all to be women.

[Stu Burguiere]

All of them?

[Pat Gray]

Yes. 100% require them all to be actual biological women.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let me give you a polling term, margin of error. How. How comfortable are you?

[Pat Gray]

It's zero. It's exactly zero.

[Stu Burguiere]

So all of them.

[Pat Gray]

All of them.

[Stu Burguiere]

All of them have to be women. If you let a few guys slip in, you're not comfortable with that at all?

[Pat Gray]

I'm not comfortable in the least with that.

[Stu Burguiere]

See, you're a stickler.

[Pat Gray]

Not in the competition or in the locker room. Yeah, I'm a stickler for that. Call me insensitive to the men trying to get into the women's competition, but I'm going to extend that from not just the World's Strongest Women Competition, but all women's competitions. Tennis and your soccer, badminton.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're going to stand by this track and field?

[Pat Gray]

I'm standing by it, yes. Swimming, you know, I'm going to say let's do it exclusively with women. All women's competitions. Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, you've heard that. You've heard the hatred, ladies and gentlemen, in America, you've heard the hatred of Patience.

[Pat Gray]

You've heard it. You've heard it. And I. I'm sticking by it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I feel like, too, there are some sports, I don't know, maybe like a flexibility sport, like certain gymnastics events or something, where women might, do you know, better Right. Than guys. Like I, maybe guys are really flexible like that. I think if I see a guy try to be flexible like that, it, I can feel the pain of it happening and I have to turn it off immediately. So I'm not 100% sure how that works, but if women have an influence in that category, they shouldn't be able to go into the men's side. I don't know about you, Pat. I'm less worried about it the other way.

[Pat Gray]

I am too. I haven't seen a single example of it yet.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I can give you a very baseline example. As you know, my son Zach, he plays baseball and he is, plays pretty high level baseball, you know, travel team type stuff. And he is on a team that was playing in a tournament. This is now probably two years ago. So I think it was, I think it was a 12U tournament. Yeah, I think it was 12U and we.

[Pat Gray]

Which means 12 and under. Yes, 12 and under for the people.

[Stu Burguiere]

Who aren't constantly obsessed with youth baseball. And so you. 12 and under. And first of all, that means that 11 year olds sometimes play in the 12 year old division. Oddly enough, there's a lot of rules that seem to justify 13 year olds also playing in the 12U thing. And I know understand that. It's like, whoa, yeah, he's in another grade though. So there's a number in the name of the league, it says 12U.

[Pat Gray]

That is weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

U means under. 12 or under. That's what it's supposed to be. And they go, oh yeah, but he, yeah, sure, he's 18 and he's playing in this league. But yeah, he stayed back a bunch.

[Pat Gray]

But he's in sixth grade.

[Stu Burguiere]

So I don't know why they have those exceptions, but that's a whole nother story that I might complain about from time to time. So my son who plays in the league that is eight, he is in a tournament and one of the best teams in this tournament is there. And we are walking, his game's ending, we're walking over. He wants to watch this team play because they're kind of like one of the legendary teams from the area. That's legendary might be a little strong, but the well known team that wins a lot of these tournaments. And so we go up there and the game's starting and, and someone has the radar gun behind home plate. And you know, at this point, I don't know, 12U, they're, they're probably like, you know, you're throwing like 50s, low 60s, like the kids are throwing like Pretty hard. Or probably in the low 60s.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Except every once in a while you get someone in the mid-60s. The pitcher is hitting low 70s, like 72, 73. And I'm not really paying close attention, but I am noticing this. I'm like, wow, that's pretty fast. Now there's some people that, who throw that, but it's pretty rare that you'd see someone in the 70s in 12U, if I'm remembering all the numbers right. And ages. So after a couple minutes, I do eventually kind of look a little bit more detail and realize the pitcher is a female. It's boys baseball. It's a girl pitching. I would maybe say she's Samoan, from that sort of background. What is it? Aap, API, Pacific Islander, maybe Polynesian type, something maybe in that, in that world. And she's firing it in there, man, overhand, like this is a baseball. It's not softball, it's baseball. And she's firing it in there and she's shutting down this other really good team. And later in the game hits a over the fence home run.

[Pat Gray]

Wow.

[Stu Burguiere]

Over the fence home run. Now, I don't know what her career looks like as, as she gets older, because the truth is they'll catch up. They're going to catch up and they're going to pass her. She was, she was a, you know, she had a lot of strength.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. But at that age, sometimes you'll see.

[Stu Burguiere]

That she could play there. And she did. And no one that I knew complained about.

[Pat Gray]

Nobody was pissed.

[Stu Burguiere]

It wasn't about the fact even that it was a gender crossover. It was the competition.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're taking advantage of it. When you are a swimmer who is, you know, the worst swimmer on your team and then you're winning national championships on the other division, that's really where I think, I think people get more angry about it. Now, in addition to that, in a much more serious way, I think 13.

[Pat Gray]

Year olds in the 12 and under is a bigger deal.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's a bigger deal, I would agree. And even a much bigger deal than all of this is having the boy come into the girl's bathroom and change with them. That's completely ridiculous. And obviously when you get to that level, that's something different. But a lot of this is just based on fairness. Girls should be able to have areas where they can compete and win. They shouldn't always lose to some guy who's decided for a couple weeks he's a girl. And I say that as someone who has a daughter and at some Point could be a victim of that, Right?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

She's in. Gymnastics is the big thing she's in. I would assume that at some point this could be something that happens.

[Pat Gray]

Well, that was Riley Gaines problem, right? She was. And that's why she's become so prominent as a spokesperson, really, for speaking out against men, competing against women. She actually was a victim of that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

And did you see the, the big controversy with her and Pablo Torre over the past week? Do you know who Pablo Torre?

[Pat Gray]

No.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's a guy. He does a podcast and it's a podcast that has occasionally breaks some big news. He was the guy who broke the Clippers Kawhi Leonard story from a couple months ago, which was that he was taking money, which is a great story if you haven't looked at this, Pat. He was taking money from a company that is a. Oh, I did see this. That was like a big green company that was like fake, arguably allegedly fake. Planting trees all over the world and taking it all this money and then also just putting. Throwing millions of dollars at Kawhi Leonard. That very much looks like salary cap evasion. Right. Like he, he just, he signed a contract with this, you know, green company and then never did any work for it. Never even tweeted about it. Yeah, Like, I mean, at least try to cover your tracks. Anyway, so occasionally I think he does some interesting work. But of course, as is typical in the media, especially sports media, everybody's liberal. So he's super, super liberal. And did this big supposed expose, I guess, this week on Riley Gaines. I did not hear all the details of it, but what it amounted to, at least from what I read, because it was a long podcast and I wasn't all that interested. But the allegation was that she's made money since all of this happened. Oh, no. She finished in fifth place and she would have, I guess, finished in fourth if it wasn't for Lia Thomas, I think is the way that worked.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And now she wouldn't be rewarded for that. Right. She wouldn't have made millions of dollars off a finish fourth. And now she's made millions of dollars. So she's bad or something. Again, I think what happened with Riley Gaines is she took a brave stand after this and made the best of a bad situation.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know what, has she made money since? In speaking gigs?

[Pat Gray]

Sure, of course she has and she should.

[Stu Burguiere]

She basically took on the entire sports estate establishment and has been incredibly brave handedly.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I mean, she's been the only.

[Stu Burguiere]

One and has been taken Tons of death threats and harassment over it, constantly online. And she spoke her mind and she said this is unfair. And not only that, she's improved the situation for people like my daughter who might not have to face that situation because she took that stand. I'm glad she made a lot of, of money off of it. We should be incentivizing that type of behavior again. She made money on it because she became famous because she stood up and with no promise at all of making money. Spoke her mind.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Could have gone the other way. It's not a controversy where she could have been shunned every, at every turn.

[Stu Burguiere]

Most that did happen to a lot of people who did that.

[Tanya]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And it has over time. The fact that she was able to come out and make. She wound up instead of going into whatever she was gonna go into as a normal job. Cause probably wasn't gonna. You know, swimming is not one of those things where you're making millions of dollars unless you're Michael Phelps.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

So she winds up going into a normal job probably if this doesn't happen. But you know, it did happen and she was able to be very brave, very smart. Like you can also do this in the wrong way. You come out and say the wrong thing and even your side bails on you.

[Pat Gray]

She didn't.

[Stu Burguiere]

She did this the wrong right way. She's spoken up bravely for a long time. This is a great success story. Something where she was targeted for something that she was wronged. She overcame it, she spoke out about it and has made people wanted to hear from her. Yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Great story. It's not a bad one.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Triple eight, 727 Beck. War coming up in a minute.

[Tanya]

With the war in Ukraine, we've heard about a lot of people in both countries who are living through the night nightmare of war. But there are also elderly Jewish people who are also trapped in this conflict, facing unbearable poverty. Galena is a 96 year old holocaust survivor who has spent her life in the same village.

[Pat Gray]

It's Patton stew for Glenn. Triple eight seven two seven, Beck. So Campbell Soup. Did you see the. What the executive at Campbell Soup had to say about Campbell's Soup the other day?

[Stu Burguiere]

I did not.

[Pat Gray]

Oh my God.

[Stu Burguiere]

I am not even up to date at all about Campbell Soup in the news revolving around Campbell's Soup.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, he was talking about how it's genetically modified here. Ingredients. Okay. And, and, and that the chicken is essentially laboratory grown in the audio.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's, it's really hot mic type of thing. It is, yeah.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Somebody recorded him in a meeting where he was saying, we have stuff is the word I'll use for effing poor people. Who buys our stuff? No, I don't buy Campbell's products barely at all anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the heck is in it. So he's talking about bioengineered meat. I don't want to eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer. Okay. So I'm thinking he's probably not long for a Campbell Soup position. No, I'm pretty, pretty sure they're not gonna love him from now on. But are they bioengineered the meat? Is it bioengineered the chicken at like in chicken soup? I, I don't know, but he said it is. A spokesperson for the company said, we're proud of the food we make, the people who make it, and the high quality ingredients that we make it with. The comments on the recording are not only in inaccurate, they are patently absurd. So they seem to be denying that it's bioengineered. But he didn't specifically say our chicken is not bioengineered here. It's not grown in a lab.

[Stu Burguiere]

Bizarre story.

[Pat Gray]

It is a bizarre story. So, yeah, I've never heard an executive at a company like this go off on the product at that company. I don't think that I know of that I can remember that, that this has ever happened before.

[Stu Burguiere]

But sue was filed by Robert Garza. This is, I guess, a result of a lawsuit.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. Hired by Campbell's as a CyberSecurity Analyst in September 2024, Garza alleges that Campbell's executive, Martin Bally made the offensive remarks during a meeting in November 2024, which was about a year ago, to discuss his salary. Right. Yeah. Garza informed his manager about the comments, but the manager did not encourage him to report the incident. Garza was then abruptly terminated from employment. So that's what causes this lawsuit. James Regan, Campbell spokesperson, said the company was not aware of the recording before it aired on WDIV on Thursday. Does not know if it's legitimate. Bally is one of the many vice presidents, so vice president of Campbell's. But this is the other statement they released. They said the person alleged to be speaking on the recording works in it and has nothing to do with how we make our own food.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I love that. I love that. And. But he said it's on the label, so I haven't checked a Campbell Soup label.

[Stu Burguiere]

So this says crap on the label. This is crap for poor people on every label.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think it says that. No. Whether it says it's bioengineered because you're supposed to have to put that on the label, I doubt that that's on the label.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn Beck.

[Tanya]

Holiday time is high cry crime season. But not all crimes should be addressed the same way. According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less than 1% of the time. Burna covers the other 99% of altercations with the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. So next time you think you need lethal force, think of Byrna. Start with Byrna. By R N A. I carry one myself. I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Berna launcher. The new Berna Compact is the world's smallest less lethal pistol. It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes. With 60ft of range, you can confidently and effectively de escalate a situation without the use of lethal force. No background checks legal in all 50 states. Ship straight to your door. And Byrna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies. Visit byrnaby rna.com and find the right launcher for your family. By rna.com that's Bernie.

[Stu Burguiere]

What's really going on with the banks, the border and your kids school? Find out@glenn beck.com.

[Pat Gray]

That's what Campbell Soup.

[Stu Burguiere]

Be clear too. By the way, this Campbell Soup story, it's a lawsuit from a disgruntled employee.

[Pat Gray]

So now are they alleging maybe that that was AI?

[Stu Burguiere]

I have not heard that defense. They. They are saying that they don't know. They're not aware of the.

[Pat Gray]

They don't know if it's real. So it makes it sound like it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Might have been AI but even they're saying, even the person alleged to be saying it has nothing to production. Which is kind of key as well.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that is key.

[Stu Burguiere]

And of course any of these organizations have people who of course you can find an employee that doesn't like what the company is doing.

[Pat Gray]

That is disgruntled.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Pat Gray]

That's not.

[Stu Burguiere]

Not all that notable. So again, if you like Campbell soup, you're probably gonna be fine.

[Pat Gray]

You're fine. It's fine.

[Stu Burguiere]

Still, it is kind of a crazy story.

[Pat Gray]

I've eaten a lot of Campbell soup in my life. Used to eat their. Their chunky soup soup all the time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, that's right. They make that.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, delicious. Yeah, delicious.

[Stu Burguiere]

It used to be every.

[Pat Gray]

When I was single I. That's what I lived on was Campbell's chunky soup. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You were single at one point I was. I feel like you were married at birth. That's in my mind. That's. That was. You just gotta arranged marriage right at the beginning.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. At birth. And it's just been ever since. Yeah, that's.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm sure that what it feel like.

[Pat Gray]

Feels like to her 40 years. Yeah, it feels like that to her.

[Stu Burguiere]

She's like, oh gosh, 40 years. Wait, this year? 40 years?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, 40.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wow. Congratulations.

[Pat Gray]

Thank you.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's a big achievement.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's really amazing. It really is. Did you already have your anniversary?

[Pat Gray]

We did.

[Stu Burguiere]

What? What did you guys do?

[Pat Gray]

We went out to dinner and that was about it. You are like we've done this 40 times. You know how many.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, you did, if I remember right, have a big trip recently. Didn't you go away for. Was it a Mexican or something?

[Pat Gray]

Yes, we went to Mexico.

[Stu Burguiere]

That wasn't related to the.

[Pat Gray]

Wasn't. No, but it should been have have related it. It could have related to it. You should say by the way next to it now. By the way, that was in advance of the anniversary that's coming up. That's what we're going to Mexico.

[Stu Burguiere]

Next time you talk about that trip and be like, hey, remember on our anniversary trip when we blow and she like, what do you mean your anniversary trip? Oh yeah. That was part of our. Did I not say.

[Pat Gray]

Come on. You know, that was.

[Stu Burguiere]

That was incredible anniversary celebration together.

[Pat Gray]

Cuz we went to. We went to. We went to Disney and Universal too this year. So we've done. We've done a ton. A ton of stuff. So we covered it. You know what I mean? We covered it. Wow.

[Stu Burguiere]

The romance from you, Pat, it's incredible. It's impressive.

[Pat Gray]

It's. It's incredible.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I. We. Are. Are you thinking about. Do you. Are you the type of person that has a Christmas gift picked out, thought about yet for the wife? Are you in that.

[Pat Gray]

That doesn't even cross my mind.

[Tish Hyman]

Hey.

[Pat Gray]

Not even cross my mind.

[Stu Burguiere]

Hey, honey, remember when we went on that Christmas trip to Mexico?

[Pat Gray]

That Christmas anniversary.

[Stu Burguiere]

Anniversary.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Great trip that I got for you back then.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I mean, you could always take care of this on Black Friday. We do have the Black Friday sale going on, by the way, @glenn beck.com. go to glennbeck.com. click the. The. The name shop. Click that shop link and you will.

[Pat Gray]

So is it like Gray Wednesday or something that turns black? Or is it just.

[Stu Burguiere]

We're transitioning. We're trans. It was White Monday, and now every day@glenn beck.com is. Is. Is white because he's so pasty. But the official Glenbeck Black Friday sale alive right now. 25% off. Get the perfect gift. Christmas gift. This would be something maybe you could get up for Jackie. You know, like, you get a. How about a Glenbeck hood?

[Pat Gray]

Oh, she'd love that. Oh, my gosh.

[Stu Burguiere]

Remember that anniversary hoodie?

[Pat Gray]

It's almost too much.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, you don't want to overdo it. You don't want to overdo it. Go there. Now it's a 25% off. Use the code, Glenn. I don't know if you see that. No, it's just Glenn Beck dot com. Click, shop and save. Okay. Black Friday is one of those things that bothers me every year because there is a slew of stories. I've already read a couple of them that are complaining about how more stores are open on Black Friday.

[Pat Gray]

They're complaining about that. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

They're always like, oh, these stores are open on Black Friday. They're starting to open on Thanksgiving.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And we can't have them opening on Thanksgiving.

[Pat Gray]

People are all.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's all about commerce. And they're always spending time with their families.

[Pat Gray]

And.

[Stu Burguiere]

And how dare they. These stores open on Thanksgiving. And I get it, the sentiment. There's some part of it I like. Right. We should. We should want to spend time with our friends, families, instead of, you know, going out and spending money at a store. I get the concept behind that, but I feel like it really does not. That argument does not encapsulate the actual real world. Number one. What if you don't like your family?

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. You know, it's nice if you have a family. I have a family I really love spending time with. Not everybody has that. A lot of people think their family sucks. And if your family sucks, getting out of the house and going to a store might be a great thing. Secondarily, a lot of people might not have this big family Thanksgiving. Maybe to them, getting double and triple pay for a holiday is something they're happy about. Yes, I understand. Some people might be thinking to themselves, I don't want to go to work on Thanksgiving or Black Friday and I'd much rather stay home with my family. And I'm sure those people do exist. However, there's a lot of people on the other side of that too who are thinking, I'd like to work an eight hour shift and get paid for 20 hours or 24 hours. That sounds great. And we never think about them. And then I also don't understand why retail employees are the only people who get this benefit. Like, I want to turn my lights on on Thanksgiving. At some point the sun will go down and I want to turn my lights on. There's plenty of people at the power company who still have to go to work and no one cares about them at all. No one cares about any. It's only retailers, employees. We care about having it on Thanksgiving. The people who work at, you know, I flip on the football game. All the people working at the stadium, we don't care about them at all. We don't, we don't care. Screw those people. They have to go to work. Screw them. Screw the people who work at the television station that's covering it and bringing in your house. Screw them. Screw the people at the power company. Screw the people at the heating company that are heating your home during Thanksgiving. All those people, they don't get to see their families.

[Pat Gray]

The poor who are making mere millions playing the football game. Yes. They're working on Thanksgiving as well, I would say.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, some people have made this point. Modern day slavery, that's what we're talking about.

[Pat Gray]

That's what it is.

[Stu Burguiere]

You should be able to make your own choice as to whether you go to work or not. And if the people require you to go to work and you don't want to, you have the right to go find another job. But the company does not have to coddle you for your holidays. I know that sounds bad, but the truth is, if they find that it's good for their business and they want to do it, they should be able to. If a company is employee focused and thinks, you know what, we're going to sacrifice some profits on Thanksgiving and we want our employees to be able to stay home, that might be something that works for them. Though I will say there are a lot of employees who are thinking to themselves, actually, I don't know, Fat Uncle Dave, I'd much rather just be at work and make a bunch of money. Especially when they're going to pay, pay me holiday pay, then spend another time hearing some conspiracy theory from Fat Uncle Dave. Right. He's the one that's telling me that Trump is a fascist Russian asset. I don't want to hear any more stories from Uncle Dave. I just want to go to work. I'd much rather be there and deal with sane people who are coming out to buy things on the holiday and wanting to get away from their families. So I just feel like every year we get these stories about how evil commerce is. The bottom line of this is it's an anti capitalist pitch. It's supposed to make all these companies look mean. And the fact that you want to go out and spend money on a holiday is up to you. We should not make that decision for companies, employees, shoppers. I don't understand why we feel the need to jump into everybody else's business every Thanksgiving and tell people whether they should be allowed to open their stores or not. I was against that during COVID and I'm against it again.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I, that's a good point. It's a good point. Have you noticed also that on Black Friday it doesn't really start at 4 in the morning anymore? Or if it does, I, I mean, Jackie's not part of that. She used to be. She used to like to get up and go early. Yeah, I don't hear about that. Maybe it's just our family. I, I don't know. I. Does Lisa get up and go to the store at 4 in the morning?

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't remember her ever doing it. I did have my aunt and my grandma used to do it really early. Like before I would get up. I don't know.

[Pat Gray]

I don't think that's a thing much anymore because the sale lasts all day and you just keep it going.

[Stu Burguiere]

As we've seen with the scam of a Black Friday sale from glenn beck.com it's currently Wednesday.

[Pat Gray]

That's true.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, almost every, every product we talked about today, doing commercials and stuff, they have Black Friday things going on. They do it early.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And they also. A lot of. So much of the stuff is online now.

[Pat Gray]

That's true.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, the overwhelming majority of people don't, like, rush out to the stores to wait in line to buy that one product anymore, I guess. But it's still a huge shopping day. It's still the biggest shopping day of the year.

[Pat Gray]

I will say that Kexi cookies go on sale on Black Friday.

[Stu Burguiere]

You didn't scam people.

[Pat Gray]

Did not scam people. It is not. It's not happening today.

[Stu Burguiere]

So you're saying today you're gonna pay like triple.

[Pat Gray]

You're gonna pay today.

[Stu Burguiere]

They're hiring the prices. They're raising them.

[Pat Gray]

You'll pay $300 a box. Today.

[Stu Burguiere]

Today.

[Pat Gray]

But on Friday you'll get 20% off.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Pat Gray]

And Cyber Monday. And then I think we announce all whole bunch of sales. So you like lightning sales. So you can check that out online. You can sign up for those. But we're waiting until Friday.

[Stu Burguiere]

Where would you go to sign up.

[Pat Gray]

For something like that? Well, you go to kexi.com k e k s I.com the best cookies.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's right. They're awesome. I will say awesome. And you will be the star of any holiday party if you do as I say. And Pat, I have a recommendation for your company right now.

[Pat Gray]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

I want you. I want you to think about this. I want you to internalize it, all right? I want you to think about maybe going along and making this product. Okay. An official Kexi cookie. Cookie splitter.

[Pat Gray]

It's a good idea.

[Stu Burguiere]

Where it's like a circle.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And you go down. You press down on it like, I have one of them for apples. Do you have the apple thing?

[Pat Gray]

I do.

[Stu Burguiere]

I love that thing. It goes into a million different slices. Right. Make one of those for Kexi and you put it on top of the cookie.

[Pat Gray]

Wouldn't need to core the cookie.

[Stu Burguiere]

You would need. Although not a bad idea, because then the person making the cuts can just eat the cores and then just put out the slices. But cut it into, like four slices. I would say if you want to make an 8 optional, I would consider it because sometimes it's even better to have. You can do one eighth of the cookie, but at least one quarters and send these to people with the cookies. You know, like a little upcharge or something. I totally pay the upcharge. Yeah, I like it because you go there because what I wind up doing. And this is going to make you a star of every holiday party. You. You buy a box of Kexi Cookies. They come in. You cut them into fourths with either the Kexi provided cookie cutter or your own knife or cookie cutter of your own. And then you make them in a nice little platter. You arrange them in a nice little platter situation so people can come up and just sample a bunch of different flavors. You will be the star of every holiday party.

[Pat Gray]

Really good idea.

[Stu Burguiere]

It is awesome.

[Pat Gray]

I like it.

[Stu Burguiere]

If this happens, a small kickback to me for each one sold would be appropriate. I'm just saying, because it's my idea. It's now on national RA radio.

[Pat Gray]

People know works. It works for me. There you go.

[Stu Burguiere]

I didn't see. It wasn't a commitment. It wasn't really a commitment there. That's unfortunate. But I. I do think it didn't.

[Pat Gray]

Feel like an absolute hardcore commitment on my part. No, that's weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

That wasn't. It didn't feel contractual.

[Pat Gray]

Yes, that's really weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, not untrue, but very weird.

[Stu Burguiere]

The wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me. This is Glenn Beck.

[Pat Gray]

Back. It's Pat and Stupor Glenn. Today we started the hour talking about the strongest woman in the world who was a man. And. And when the competition officials found that out, uh, they disqualified that person and gave the title to the runner up. Uh, well, Tish Hyman confronted Eric Swalwell who is about to run for governor. He's already basically running for governor of California. And there's a woman named Tish Hyman who is speaking out on behalf of women and saying that, you know, trans people. Men don't belong in women's locker rooms and in women's sports. And so. Go on. And she wasn't well received. Really? By Eric Swalwell. Check this out. Is cut six.

[Tish Hyman]

They're gonna be men allowed in the women's room anymore. We need to know.

[Stu Burguiere]

No woman should be harassed in a locker room.

[Tish Hyman]

Answer straight. Are they gonna be women? Are you against men in women's locker rooms and sports? That's all you need to answer.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm telling you, I harass you in a woman's locker room. I know that should not happen.

[Tish Hyman]

It's happening. Happening all around America. There are 45 women and there are 45 men in the women's prisons right now. Raping them, kicking them out like chicken.

[Tanya]

Yep.

[Tish Hyman]

Men are not women and they're raping women.

[Tanya]

Yes.

[Tish Hyman]

So I don't care if you're on the Democrat side, the Republican side. We need to be on the women's side, people. It's happening to our girls. It's happening to our women. And I'm here to let everyone know that this is happening. Millions of people behind black people who. They're using our civil rights to push them. If you want to be the governor, you need to do something about it, because I promise you this. I will not be the last to see if Tish H. Okay. All right. I want to know about your name. You're very handsome, by the way.

[Pat Gray]

So great.

[Stu Burguiere]

Who? Trans kids.

[Tish Hyman]

There are no trans kids. There are just children. Stop transforming children. No one can make a decision that young. When I was 12.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is utterly fantastic.

[Pat Gray]

Is it great? So great.

[Tish Hyman]

It's wrong. It's wrong.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's abuse.

[Tish Hyman]

Don't. Trans children. It's abuse.

[Stu Burguiere]

Trans kids.

[Pat Gray]

So great.

[Tish Hyman]

Such thing. It's only men and women. Your brain. Stop with this.

[Pat Gray]

That is fantastic. I mean, what a brave woman to go into that crowd who are obviously Eric Swalwell supporters and be so strong and so confident about what she's saying there. It's just fantastic.

[Stu Burguiere]

First of all, Pat, I have to fact check you here. There's probably 75, 80 people in this room. There's no way they're all Eric Swalwell supporters. There are no way.

[Pat Gray]

I hope you're right. I really hope you're right.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, he's not first. He's so stupid. There's no way he's going to win that race. Is he, I mean, a Democrat?

[Pat Gray]

Who else is going to win?

[Stu Burguiere]

There's other Democrats that are more prominent than Eric Swalwell that are already in the race. I haven't it's, I don't remember who.

[Pat Gray]

They are, but they, but they're hopefully going to beat him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Isn't Katie Porter in that race? There's a couple people in that race. Yeah. Yeah, I think she is, but I don't think Eric Swalwell is going to win. He's also America's dumbest congressman.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

So, but she's great.

[Pat Gray]

Awesome.

[Stu Burguiere]

And she just takes over the event.

[Pat Gray]

Oh, my gosh.

[Stu Burguiere]

She's hosting.

[Pat Gray]

That was fantastic.

[Stu Burguiere]

All right. All right. Well, have a great Thanksgiving.

[Pat Gray]

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn Beck.
