Looks like things are up and down again or still with Iran. No, there's a ceasefire. There's not a ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz is open. Now it's closed. Now it's open and it's closed. Now it's open. Now it's closed. Okay, so we're going to do something about that, right? Now we're going to have peace talks. Then we're not going to have peace talks. Some people are going to be there. Now they're not going to be there. I think it's kind of important for Iran to physically be there. If we're going to go over to Pakistan, I'd like to see the Iranians there as well. Because if not, why are we there? That'd be a little embarrassing, frankly. And tomorrow is the last day of the ceasefire, right? Right. So is it tomorrow at midnight? Is it tomorrow at 9 a.m.? Is it tomorrow? 10 a.m.? I don't know, but we'll get into that and much more coming up in one minute.

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

All right. It is Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher for Glenn today. He's back in tomorrow. And I think he's going to be here in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Wow. So that's fun. But I think the problem with what's going on in Iran right now is that the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has taken control. At least they claim they have. And it seems like they're being pretty rigid and militant. And it makes sense that they're in control. It does. I thought we had gotten rid of all their ships and all their... We did get rid of their ships. And all their bombs. And I don't know about their bombs because apparently they're firing missiles at ships that are traversing the strait right now. I guess they have a few from the underground bunker that we didn't get. I don't... Yeah. Probably quite a few. I don't know. I know. The president said, what, 80%?

5:59

of their ability to fire missiles. I thought we were up to 90, to be honest. Well, okay. It would be nice if we were at 100, and then we can shut this thing down. I will say, if nothing happens by tomorrow, we should. We need to make sure we're at 100%. Yes. Yeah. We need to put the hammer down. I think. I believe that. I believe that. If they don't show up for whatever reason tomorrow? At least a day. At least because we have to we have to let them know we're not kidding around. And if we don't, if we don't have any credibility left. We're right back to where we were before. Yeah. Yep. So yeah, I think it has to happen now. Unless. They unequivocally surrender tomorrow and say, all right, we're not going to mess with the straight anymore. And we're not going to seek a nuclear weapon anymore. And then, you know, we can part for it. And do we? We can? Yeah, yeah. I don't think they will be very friendly to us, to be honest. You don't think we can kiss up makeup? Yeah. All right. I think maybe for the cameras. Yeah. That'll be it. I mean, they're not the RGC. They don't think they're going to like us forever. No, I don't think they are. But that's going to be a difficult transition, I think. You know, we killed, what, 46 or 47 of their leaders. And at least. Now who's left to take the reins? That's, I think. I think the problem that we face. And so there were some moderate voices in there that were maybe communicating with the White House. And then the IRGC stepped in and said, nope, beat it. Yeah, we're in not speaking for us. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, that's the danger. Is there anybody worse than the Ayatola? Maybe the IRGC. Maybe. So I don't know. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out tomorrow.

8:00

They specifically have said that they're in command and that they only do the bidding of the Supreme Leader Moshtaba Khomeini, who supposedly ascended to replace his father. You know, after we don't even know if he's actually still alive. There's a lot of people that believe he's dead. Right. Yeah. Or if not dead, then in a coma and seriously, seriously wounded. Right, because he was supposed to be in that other building, the second big bombing that we took place, right? Yeah. And we heard initially that he was either in a coma or that he'd lost limbs. Right, right, right, right. Or maybe both. Remember he lost a leg or something and one eye? It's not funny. It's not. So why are you laughing about it? I don't know. I'm just picturing him there with the peg leg and the eye patch over the eye. It's not funny at all. And it turns out he's gay, so that makes it even more fun, I guess. Because there are no gays in Iran. So he can't be gay. So he can't be because there are. That report has to be wrong. So anyway, well, I mean, would it be nice for them to come to an arrangement tomorrow and say, yeah, the straight of our moves is open and we're going to leave it open? Yes. But I just don't see that happening at this point. And then we'll see in Pakistan and we'll work out some details so that you don't bomb our country right into rubble. And then we're back to parting as friends. Yeah, right. Right, exactly. And then the price of oil goes back down. Which would be really nice for us. Yeah, and everything turns out really well. As they're saying that, I mean, the end of last week, they were trying to make it seem like we were supposed to be happy if it goes below $3 a gallon. Yeah, here in Texas, for those who may not know elsewhere in the country, we were under $2 a gallon in some places before this all began. You're sure where we were. Most places were right hovering that $2 a gallon mark. It wasn't much above two bucks all over the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. And one of my producers from Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can hear immediately before this on the Blaze Radio and Television Network, had paid $1.87 a gallon. I mean, those are like the old days. With no coupon, he said. Yeah, no coupon, just a buck 87. Yeah. Well, now we're paying. I don't know. 3.39 was what you saw this morning driving in with the coup team. One Exxon station was still hanging in there at 389. I didn't see any cars at his station. Well, that's a 50 centigallon difference. There shouldn't be any cars there. You ought to change 389. Wow. How far apart are they? That far. That's why no one was there. Sheesh. Wow. So if we have to go into Iran and do the things that the president has threatened, and that's, you know, destroy their energy sector and their bridges, it's not going to help the price of oil. No, it will not. It's not going to help them wanting to be our friends. Even though we don't get Iranian oil. We don't.

11:17

I don't think we get a drop of Iranian. So it shouldn't affect us at all. So it shouldn't, but it will because it's all connected. It's all connected in the fact that there's, you know, availability all over the world, and then you've got to redistribute it. And it's a complicated mess, but it would cause prices to go back out. It's a complicated mess for us to be charged more. Yes. Is what it turns out to be. Yep. And I don't like it. I don't like it either. But they don't call me and ask me about it. I don't think they care. I've never gotten a call from Chevron saying, Pat, what do you think the price of oil should be today? Like, I don't know, 40 cents a barrel? A dollar a barrel? I don't know. Today. What do you need to get by? Today. So, you know, it'd be nice if we could get to that happy medium because you want, you want the oil companies, at least I do. I want the oil companies to do well because then Texas does well. You know, it helps every business when oil is going okay. For sure. But there's got to be that happy medium where they're doing okay and so are we. You know? And I don't know what that price at the pump is, but. It's less than now. It's not three. I'll tell you that. It's not $3 a gallon. I know that. No, it is not. So hopefully we'll be able to come to some sort of agreement. I mean, during COVID, I can remember, I can remember sharing pictures of gasoline 120. Oh. You know, during COVID, there was a, there was a time there. But it was really cheap. Yeah. I mean, it was getting close to a block of gallon. Nobody was driving around. Right. Yeah. And I mean, those days are long gone. Have a nice day. Long. That's a long gone. That's a cute little picture. Is it even real? No. Nope. No, it is not. The Supreme Court just gave a unanimous ruling in favor of oil companies because they're going to move an oil and gas lawsuit out of Louisiana. Right. It was a series of lawsuits seeking potentially billions of dollars from oil companies for environmental damage to Louisiana's coastal areas. And the court ruled eight to nothing. that one of the lawsuits should be moved out of the state's courthouses and instead be considered in federal court, which is a more favorable venue for the oil companies. And that's probably more favorable for the American people if they're not paying billions of dollars to somebody in a lawsuit. A jury in one of the most conservative pro oil and gas communities in the country found that Chevron was liable for billions of gallons of toxic waste.

14:09

dumped into the Louisiana Marsh. The ruling included only eight of the nine justices because Samolito recused himself over his stock holdings in ConocoPhillips. Oh, wow. Interesting. Huh. That is good for him, though. Yes, good for him. Exactly. It just shows he's got integrity. Yeah. The companies argued that the case belongs in federal court based on their predecessor's production of aviation fuel supply at the behest of the federal government during World War II. All of the justices agreed with that argument. Eight to nothing with even the liberals on board. That's interesting, right? Because you never see eight to nothing, or rarely see unanimous verdicts in the U.S. Supreme Court. And it overturned a 2024 decision from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana. The ruling will likely be consequential for other cases of parishes that are suing oil companies for environmental damages. Republican Louisiana Attorney General Liz Merrill, a plaintiff in the case, said she was confident they would win against the oil companies despite the setback. Well, yeah, that's what she has to say. Pretty much. He's waiting on that paycheck. But I think that's good news for us because, you know, usually they're going to pass those penalties along to us, the consumers. They're going to pass them along to us anyway. We're probably going to get that. That's for sure anyway. Oh, I sure we accidentally drop some toxic waste along the way on the way to the... The holding cell was just dropped off there. Yeah, but don't worry about it. That'd be fine. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. And they said we owe, I don't know, 10 billion. Mm-hmm. Nah. You know those gas prices you thought we're going to come down? Uh-huh. They're not coming down. They're not. All right. Triple-8-27-B-E-C-K, more in one minute. It happens quietly.

Florida Senator Rick Scott.

17:32

admonished Democrats for the vile rhetoric of left-wing live streamer, Hasan Piker, who suggested that Rick Scott needs to be killed oh okay that's all that's all worry about it yeah what what do you mean the rhetoric should be tamped down a bit uh what do you mean we're getting along fine fine you just wanted me dead we got we got priests in other countries asking for the death of the president yeah oh my gosh we got to play that since you brought that up let's just Let's just play that for a second. There was this priest in Ireland who's, I guess, sort of praying at the time. Yeah. Cut 36. And yeah, it's cut 36. And that war is taking place which is absolutely outrageous. We pray for peace. We pray for peace. We pray for Donald Trump. That the Lord will take him. Okay. Wow. You're praying that the Lord will kill Donald Trump. Huh. And then the congregation laughs. That's great. Our priest is in a prayer that the president of the United States have been murdered. Father, you're funny. That's great. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that? That's hilarious. That is some righteousness right there. Amen. Amen. And then it's some spirituality, if you will. Wow. I, you know, that kind of rhetoric, I don't. I don't know how they get away with it because we certainly wouldn't. Right. We wouldn't get away with that if you're calling for the death of Joe Biden or Barack Obama or whomever. And we wouldn't do that. You know, we would never do that. We never have her. Never have. Never will do that. We don't rejoice when people on the left die. Right. And it's happened multiple times and we don't revel in it. It's gotten so bad on the left that not only are they reveling in people who die, you know, like Charlie, Charlie Kirk, for example, but they're praying for the death of our president. Oh, yes. That's some funny stuff. Father. Oh, yeah. Play for peace. And then we've got Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut. who is trashing Donald Trump and America on foreign soil. This makes me so angry. I could not tell you. It's bad enough that if he were to do this, sheer. Yeah, all right. And the United States. But to be on foreign soil. Unconscionable. It's unacceptable. Cut 37. Want to bring you greetings as well from a nation that is in crisis.

20:28

I'm not going to sugarcoat the gravity of what we face right now in the United States. This is the most significant threat to American democracy since the Civil War. Oh my gosh. Donald Trump in our country is trying to end our democracy. We don't have a democracy. We are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. He is trying to seize control of our courts, of our law enforcement, of our media, of our election. Unbelievable. His goal. is oligarchic capture oligarchic capture so this was at the global progressive mobilization in Spain forward together now forward together now they don't speak English that good forward together now Forward together now. Oh, okay. Is that Yoda? Forward together now? Yes. Forward together we go. Unbelievable. It's incredible. It's bad enough if you would have said that on U.S. soil. And of course he does. He does say it over here all the time. But that is... basically an unwritten rule that especially are politicians people in the senate the house if you go overseas and are giving some speech you don't bash america when you're overseas you don't do that you know that's your country yeah it's your homeland It's despicable. You're bashing the president, the leader of your country. Absolutely. It's worse than despicable. And he should be kicked out of the Senate, frankly. It does. To me, that borders untreason. It should be kicked out of the Senate for sure. He's not going to be. He's going to be hailed as a hero on the left. But, yeah, I wouldn't mind. Provoke all the bathhouse privileges, all of it. Gone. No, you don't want to take away of its bathhouse. The bathhouse is gone. Really? Oh, that's severe. Yep. That's severe. No more. No more. Wow. I mean, I know it's bad. But come on now. Nope. I don't want to go to the gym. I don't want to go to the bathhouse. Nothing. Oh, man. But that's where we all right now. We're in that kind of situation where we're that divided, where they feel free to go overseas and bash America there. AAA 727, B-E-C-K. More coming up.

For 250 years, Americans have believed in one powerful idea. We were meant to live free, free to pursue our future, work hard, free to move, free to enjoy life without being held back. But if everyday aches and pains are slowing you down, it might be time to declare your independence from pain. I tried everything and anything to help me get rid of my pain and nothing freed me.

It's Pat and Jeffie for Glenn today. He's back tomorrow. This is kind of interesting because 97% of Americans don't agree on anything. Have you, I have never seen, 97% I've never seen a statistic where 97% of Americans supported a certain event. Yeah, I mean, the Save America Act, which looks like it's probably, that's about 84. That's about 84, 85%. Oh yeah. I don't have to do that right now. Right. That's, that got hit by a train. 84%. I mean, it was in the 80s. 80s. 80s. It was not 90s. Right. 97% approval for the Artemis program. Despite the $90 billion price tax. That's because it went off without a hitch. Yep. Everything happened perfectly. It sure did. Yeah. And it, I think it renewed Americans. It absolutely did. It absolutely did. It absolutely. I mean, we become bored with it, right? SpaceX has, I watched a video of a blue origin, Jeff Bezos company, return his rocket to a ship. And I was like, oh. Been there. Done that. Glad to see your company's catching up, Jeff. And they are, but they are. Yeah, they are. Absolutely. And I noticed that the lunar Brad Lander is going to be either SpaceX or Blue Origin. Right, right, right. That hasn't been decided yet. No, right, because they're working. That's why Blue Origin is so focused on taking care of this. That's why he stopped his fun rides shooting into space. He stopped everything else. He wants that contract, and he wants it bad. I'm rooting for Elon Musk in that, actually, because the guy's a patriot. I mean, look what he did last year. And he got nothing but grief for it. Just trying to cut fat out of the U.S. budget. Jeff only founded his company that changed the world here in the United States. That's all. Well, that's true. That is true. I don't worry about that, though. But he didn't put it on the line for America. No, he did not. No, he did not do that. So don't bother me with your. Amazon thing. And you think back to the very beginnings of Amazon. And what that was. I don't like to. I mean.

27:07

Get a CD or a DVD in the mail and then mail it back. Yeah, that was Netflix. Oh, you could buy a book. When Amazon started that. You could buy a book from us. Yeah. Right. Right. And then they got in. They dabbled in the DVD thing. And then they exploded. Yeah. And took over everything. I could get a T-shirt. So NASA's Artemis crew. had near universal public support as the Orion capsule splashed down off the coast of San Diego last week, even in the face of the $90 billion cost. I think it's worth it at double that price or triple that price. The space program is worth just about whatever it takes, in my opinion, because look at all of the technology that came from the Apollo project. I mean, we've been living off that for a long time. We've been living off that for decades. Yeah. And so the same thing can happen now and it unites us. Look at how it's united us. Yeah. 97% of Americans support it. Because we're all looking to the skies, man. That was that, that. Yep. We talked about it before. it took off. But that had to go off without a hitch. And I know Isaacman did everything he could and it worked. He kicked him in the pants when he took over and told him we're going to get this thing going and we're going to take it off because it needed to happen. And this is why. 97% of the people. I haven't seen that poll. That's incredible. It's amazing to me. But it went so well that it's not super surprising, except that's pretty universal support. That's pretty amazing. And we love the astronauts? Yeah, we do. It's a new breed of astronauts. They're touchy-feely astronauts. They're not like the cocky, we're better than you. We're better than you. We're astronauts. No, these astronauts are talking about Jesus. But I loved the Apollo astronauts. And pretty much all astronauts come away with that spirituality. You know, anytime they go up in space and they see Earth the way it is from space, it touches them. It moves them. It changes them. Reed just released, I'm sorry, astronaut Wiseman, just released a video that he took with his iPhone. Yeah, this is cool. This is incredible. This is cut 35.

29:36

It takes the eight-time Zoom. Yes. So if you're just listening to this on the radio, you need to search this out, right? You need to... Because there's not a lot of audio here, but you see the Earth setting behind the moon. It is pretty cool. It's spectacular. That is amazing. The planets are moving. The spaceship is moving. And you're watching the Earth. You're watching the Earth set behind the Moon because they're on the far side. Oh, that is really... Really, you only get a little teeny sliver of it now. It's going to be gone any second now. You know what the sun looks like when you're on the Gulf of Mexico? Yep. Goes down. But look at that. Watching the sunset. That is pretty cool. Wow. I know. Pretty cool. Now, if you believe it's real. That's cool. That's cool. That's really cool. I guess it's cool, no matter why. If you believe it's real. Yeah, well, you know, I'm just saying. There were plenty of people who didn't believe. Even the Artemis stuff was real. That's for sure. Plenty. That is for sure. So ridiculous. But where do we go from here with Artemis? Because it started with an uncrued test flight that successfully orbited the moon with nobody in it. No, it wasn't manned at the time. That was in back in 2022. And then so it orbited the moon, came back to the earth. Then Artemis 2 was what we just saw. Artemis 3 is a planned mission to test the docking with either SpaceX or Blue Origin lunar landers. in Earth orbit ahead of the lunar landing. They want to see if it will work. So they expect that to happen next year, sometime next year, I think in the summer of next year. So that has to work because that docking is critical to the mission. And then Artemis 4 is the one that will deliver astronauts to the moon's surface, targeting the lunar south pole. This says expected 2028 or 2029. Don't you dare push it off to 2029. It's got to happen in 28. I don't think they will. I think that's what Jared is there for to kick him in the pants. And I think he said toward the end of the Artemis 2 that Artemis 4 would happen in early 2028. Right. He's. He's kicking him in the pants. Yeah. He's trying to make that happen. And maybe that's good. I mean, he's coming in and looking at it from a non-governmental role because we've had other government officials in charge of NASA for a long time. And they've been great. And in fact, the last one was an astronaut, right? I mean, Bill Nelson from Florida, who was a nightmare Democrat. But.

32:26

he's a Florida boy and he's an astronaut and he was running NASA and but that's a government official right still used to the government red tape bookwork take forever to do things and Jared's come in and kind of been like Let's go. Well, because we want to beat the Chinese there, back to the moon. I mean, we've already beaten everybody to the moon. Yeah, I mean, the moon is ours. In 1969 through 72, the moon is ours. And that's a proven fact. Hello. There's just no disputing that. We've got the moon. We've got Greenland. We'll have Cuba soon. Right. We've got Venezuela. Iran. We've got Canada. That's all. So, yeah, the moon, though. It has to be reclaimed by us. We have to reclaim it. It's ours. Because the Chinese are planning a mission in 2030, sometime between 2030 and 2032. So we've got to win that race too. And that's cute, because I've got the space station. It's adorable. It's adorable, really. It is. Yeah, it's nice. And then there's a follow-up mission, Artemis 5, which is aimed at expanding lunar exploration capabilities. So we establish the base with Artemis 4. And then we beef it up with Artemis 5, 2029 to 2030. Nice. Okay. So that's all happening pretty fast. The five, we go there and tip it over and start living. I think four tips it over. Okay. And then five. Four we tip over. We build a couple of buildings. We take care of a couple of things. And then that's when the moon, no matter who says what, is officially ours. It's official. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah, we've got a base there and it's ours. Now, we're saying that, but NASA is not saying that. NASA is saying this is humanity's effort. Is it, okay. That needs to be zipped quickly. It does. That needs to be zipped quickly. Yeah, we know it's humanity. In fact, the only thing that I didn't like a lot. about this Artemis program. The whole Canadian thing. It was the Canadian thing. I was saying every time we do a press conference, there's that damn Canadian flag. And it just, it should not have been the side. I'm okay. Look, she was one of four. Right? So it's a little. Put a little clover leaf or whatever it is they use. The little Canadian flag there. Yeah, maple, clover, whatever kind of leaf it is. It's adorable, but make it a lot smaller. But it did not deserve to be as large as the United States flag. Man, did that make me mad. Yeah. That was just every time they show a shot of them altogether, all lovey-dovey with those two flags, I just want to rip it down every time. And they were lovey-dovey. They were. And even at the press conference afterward, they had the Canadian space program and person come up and do a little speech. I mean, what they're trying to do is nice. They're trying to include all of humanity. Yes. But it's not. It's an American effort. Okay. Right. Right. Thank you. You can do your cute little for humanity thing all you want. Go do that with China. Yeah, right.

But you can't because you belong to us. So you're going to get a quarter-sized flag and be happy about it. That's just the way it's going to be. Or we might not even, if you start complaining about that, you won't even get that. How about that? Just take the whole thing away. Yeah. If I have to turn this thing around, I'll tell you what. Don't make us do it. Don't make us do it. Because there's an ejection seat in here and you're sitting there. I don't want to do it here. Because, you know, they might not make it back through everything. It would be a real shame if we had to eject you out of this flight. So next time, I don't know, for Artemis 4, are they planning to have international astronauts on that flight as well? Probably. I bet they are. Probably. I bet they are. I don't know if it's Canada, probably somebody from Europe. Oh, yeah. They all have their space agencies and India's growing or something is going to be on the flight with us. After this Iranian thing, I don't know though. Oh, yeah. Trump might pull the plug on any of the European people being part of anything. He might. No, you know what? No. You know what? There's just no room. Yeah, well, we just no room. We're all booked. I thought we had a space, but we don't. We're all out of room. Isn't that right, Jared? Yeah, that's right. Okay. All right. More coming up. Most of us just want to work hard, raise a family, and live in peace. That's not political. That's human. Glenn Beck will be right back.

It's Bet and Jeffrey for Glenn today. He'll be back tomorrow. Since we're talking about space with the Artemis program, this is kind of exciting because scientists have discovered something unusual hidden deep inside Uranus. I saw. That's all you care about is the headline. Are we four? That's all I care about. I don't care what this story says. I just wanted to read the headline out loud. Yeah, me too. Me too. At 3.30 a.m. this morning when I read that headline. I never, I didn't even click on the story. Scientists discover something unusual hidden deep inside Uranus. Every kid across America. is laughing at that right now. Hey, I hear they found something deep inside Uranus. Yeah. So. I mean, it's not even a planet anymore, although I believe it still is. I know. I know. But it's not only Uranus. It's also Neptune. Oh, wow. Yeah. See, that's someone. You clicked on the story. That ruins it. You clicked on the story. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did. All right. But it's a previously unknown form of matter, which is kind of cool. Unknown form of matter. Yeah. Their interiors likely contain layers of unusual hot ice. Huh. Okay, that's... Weird. They're really weird. These layers sit between the outer hydrogen and helium atmospheres and the inner rocky cores. Scientists believe they're made up of water, methane, and ammonia. But under such extreme conditions, they may take on unfamiliar forms. So they examined conditions. Most of this is done through modeling because we don't really know. We don't know. Or you've never been to, I mean, we've been.

40:38

close to Uranus and Neptune. Are you laughing? I'm talking about space. Right. We're talking about a planet. Yeah. A big gaseous planet called Uranus. They examined conditions ranging from about 5 million to 30 million times Earth's atmospheric pressure. Okay. So, and the temperatures were about 12,000 to 18,600 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Okay, so about 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's where you get hot ice. That's where you get hot ice. Yeah, right there deep in Uranus. Are you willing to sacrifice your love? No, I'm not. I mean, you never take it. No. So. Interesting, though. It's kind of cool that they discovered this. It's something that we didn't know about. No, especially. It was not deep inside your anus. Thank you. Right? That's very strange to find it there. What are you even looking there? Looking for a hot eyes. Stupid. Again, we're like four years old. It's just, it's embarrassing. More coming up.

Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn today. He will be back tomorrow. Zohran Mamdani and Barack Obama. Two guys with really funny names. And two guys that just love America. Oh, they love America so much. I mean, one's a former president and one's actually the mayor of our largest city. Yeah, and they got together, which is great. Because remember when Barack used to always talk about his funny name? They don't relate to this. I got a funny name. Yeah, you're the president of the United States. I don't think anybody cares about that. No, they don't. Nobody gives a single thought to it. Nope. Anyway, we'll get into what he had to say and what they did together because it's beautiful. It's really beautiful. Coming up in one minute. You know, there's a difference between making progress and just staying busy. And when it comes to your finances, That difference can be hard to see because you're making payments, you're doing what you're supposed to do, and on paper it looks like everything is moving in the right direction. But then you step back and realize you're not really getting ahead. The balances are still there, the interest is still adding up, and a lot of your money is going toward keeping things where they are, instead of moving them forward. That's where American financing can help you change the structure of things. If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can be used to pay off high-interest debt, consolidate payments, and create more room in your monthly budget, so your money is actually working for you.

We're sitting in a tree. Oh, wait. Not in a tree, but they were sitting in a classroom, which was beautiful. And Zohran Mamdani is going through a little problem in New York because he's not being able to deliver on his promises right now. And I think there are some people who are a little upset with him because he promised them. Free groceries, essentially. At least they thought that's what he was promising. free groceries, free rent. I mean, the guy was going to take care of everything that was wrong in their lives. He's still kind of riding high, though. I mean, he's still riding high. It's hard to believe. I know, I know. But it hasn't sunk in yet that the stuff that he said was going to be free isn't going to be free. Right.

47:49

The bus thing, the free bus situation is just gone. He already said that. That's, can't do it this year. Man, wish I could. Yeah, I want to do it. I want to. It's those damn billionaires, though. Right. That's what's holding me back. Well, there shouldn't be any. Thank you. There shouldn't be any. I told you that during the campaign. There shouldn't be any. Yep. You did tell us. I don't believe there should be any. And he's on tax day, he went out and. pointed out billionaire's apartments and said, you know, that I'm going to tax them all. So wrong. This class warfare situation that he is ramping up in New York City is just so wrong. He actually pointed to some penthouse and somebody owns. Yeah. Outside the building. Hey, I forget who it was now. Shoot. Because I was so angry about what he was doing. I forget who he's pointing out. But he's pointing out who lives in this building. A specific person who lives in a specific penthouse and he pointed out their house. That can't cause any problems for that person, I'm thinking. It'll be great when he shows up in town again. Well, that's why we're taxing him because he doesn't live. Right, because he didn't live here full time. It's just a second or third or fourth home. Bad bastard. How dare you? How dare you have multiple homes? That's why there shouldn't be any of you. That's right. And that's what he tells us here. Cut 38. You are a self-described democratic socialist. Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist? I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly it is so much money in a moment of such inequality. And ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country. And I look forward to work with everyone, including billions, to make a city that is fairer for all of them. Well, let me ask you. I'm going to work with these billionaires. And I say it shouldn't exist. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure they can't wait to work with him now. Absolutely. Here. Anyway, are you going to find ways to make me not be a billionaire? Let me help. Right. Let me help you make me extinct. That would be great. I'd love to go right out of existence. That would be wonderful. Who's going to help him? I don't know. I don't know. What capitalist is going to say, yeah, I want to help you make this into a socialist, Marxist society? Maybe they don't believe that he will. They can help him make the city just because they love the city and it's New York. That's kind of the Donald Trump thing, right? It's New York. Yeah. But I don't know. So where do you put the cap on how successful a person can be? Where is that cap? Tell me what's fair. Should there not be millionaires either? Should there not be 100,000aires? Say, well, let's get rid of the billionaires first. Okay. Let's not. Let's do that. Don't start. How do you do that? I'm not going to worry about the millionaires. How do you do, by the way? How do you get rid of the Elon Musk Mosques and Jeff Bezos, who have come up with companies that are so successful? What do you do? What do you do?

50:58

You put a cap on it, and I guess you say everything over this amount goes to charity, and you force that through the government? The charity is the government. What are you talking about? The charity is? It would be. It would have to be the government. The charity is the government. And nobody does charity better. than the U.S. government. Am I right? That's clear. I mean, we've heard about some of the expenditures that the U.S. government does for charity. And it's pretty impressive from what I understand. It is. Now, you can't hear it, though, because... Oh, that's how impressive it is. Yeah, that's how impressive it is. Yeah, I know. I got it. Thank you. PJs told me, yeah, I can't hear it. Yeah, I know. That's why we're. I know. I know. But the U.S. AID money, the U.S. AID money, was going to such great causes as. What was it, a dance program for transgendered people in Zimbabwe or something? I mean, I guess that's what the government would be doing with your money. Sure. And it certainly wouldn't be going to anywhere you would want it to. In New York, it's going to help, you know, get to those free groceries from those state-run grocery stores. and uh they paid 30 million dollars for one now they've got a budget he put a he put aside a budget of 70 million for five and one of these grocery stores is costing them 30 million dollars and it's not even open yet and won't be if a couple years until 2029 this is incredible i don't know how i mean they can't figure out how to open a grocery store you could ask i don't know the grocery business yeah figure out how to do that They've opened a few of them in less time. That might be why cities don't usually run grocery stores because they're not very good at it. And do you remember when we stumbled on this a while ago where there were bus programs and there were grocery store programs in certain cities in America and every single one of them went out of business? Every one of them. Kansas City was one of the cities that had a free bus program. And it's out of business. And I think Portland did it. There was a bunch of cities. And several of them. All the cities that we looked into, they went out of business. But there was also, there was, I think, one city in Arizona or New Mexico that, obviously, if you're listening and you're saying, we have free busing, you would know. But they. Well, call us at AAA-27-BEC-H. You've got a successful program running in your city. I'd love to hear about it. Yeah. Because I don't think you're actually.

53:49

Doing it. I don't think it's successful. I don't think so either. We've got beautiful rail lines that I see every morning driving into work here at the palatial Texas Mercury Studio complex. And I don't know that I've ever seen more than one person on that thing. On the dark program? Yeah. On the dark train. I know there's other spaces, areas where it travels that more people ride on it. But for the most part, I don't see. Around here, going through Irving, Texas, almost never see anybody on it. I see anyone on it. And yes, we're looking at it pretty early when we drive into work. Well, I look at it. But even when we're leaving. And when the train goes by, it's like, did you see anybody on that thing? On top of which, there's an actual huge stop. where I drive by every day and you drive by the same area. So there would be people there. Oh, yeah, at the bus stop. At the train stop. To stop, there is no one there. Nobody there ever. You know what? I have never seen anybody there. Not once. Have you ever seen anybody there? I mean, the main, across the street, the main bus station that used to be the bus stop, they've taken that over and they're building a new fire station. Oh, yeah. It's not even going to be the bus stop. I mean, I guess maybe after the fire station, darn nice one. Yeah, it's big. Station number eight there are really nice. But if maybe after the fire station is open, maybe it still could have a bus or two come in and around. But I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. I don't either, but. These Marxists are getting together and planning our future for us in New York City. And I love it because there's nobody better to plan your future than Marxists. Is there? I mean, what could go wrong with Marxists planning your future? I mean, and they're reading to kids, which is really fun because that's who I want my kids to be looking up to. These two, Zohran Mamdani and Barack Obama. Well, whatever school, I don't know what school they went to, this public school in New York, but you know it's got to be in the heart of Zohran Mamdani land. Oh, yeah. Check this out. Cut 14. We are fine. We're fine. Alone and together we are at our best. Who wants to be at their best?

56:23

Alone and Together, we are at our best. Did he read that right? Wait, what? What did you just say? Wait, what? Alone and together. We are at our best. So, no matter what, we're just at our best. Always. Always. I think he, I think he misread that because I'm guessing it's togetherness because they are, they're collectivists, you know? So you can't. You can't do well on an individual basis. Forward together now. Right. Exactly. Right. So then they started singing with the kids, which was beautiful. Oh, yeah, the wheels. Mm-hmm. Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish. We're on the bus to go. Swish, swish, swish, all through the town. But not for free. Not for free. Not for free. Like I told you they were going to be. We fooled your parents. We told them we were going to be free stuff. We tricked them. They believed in other Marxists. Can you believe it? Then Barack had a message for Virginia redistricting. Hey, Virginia. Early voting is underway and Virginians are turning out in record numbers to vote yes. No. By voting yes, you have a chance to do something important. Not just for the Commonwealth, but for our entire country. By voting yes, you can push back against the Republicans trying to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms. By voting yes, you can take a temporary step to level the playing field. My gosh. And we're counting on you. Early voting is happening right now. Election Day is on April 21st. So go to I willvote.com slash VA to find your closest polling location. Don't do it, Virginia. Make a plan, show up, and vote yes, Virginia. And you know, if Barack Obama wants you to vote yes, you must vote no. He thinks he did that so well. He does. He does. He's so terrible. Yeah. So terrible. Obviously, Democrats are trying to redistrict. Is that what's going on in Virginia? Yeah. Wow. But it's the Republicans that are trying to pull a fast one. That's great. Boy, this would not have happened if Jim Gilmore was still governor, I'll tell you that. Or actually made it to the presidency. Tell you that. So your support for Jim Gilmore, even though he dropped out of the race, what, 14 years ago, your support for him continues to go strong. Stay's the downhill ever since. Actually, Glenn Youngkin was pretty good for Virginia. He did a pretty good job. He did. But he's gone now. Not, I mean, he's out of office. He's still alive. All right. Triple-8-7-27. Beck, more coming up.

59:27

We've all done it. We tried to save a buck or two, buying a knockoff that ends up being more costly to fix or replace. Hopefully we've learned in the end. Knockoffs are not a good idea.

All right, we were looking for the, I think we have. Cut 25, yeah. We have the video where Barack and Zohran Mamdani are walking into the classroom together. And this is interesting because the kids have no idea who Obama is. No, not, no idea. Don't know him at all. But keep in mind, they weren't born when he was president. They weren't born yet. So it's kind of, it's kind of fun. They know, they know Zohran Mamdani. Yeah, they do. Cut 25. I know who you are. Who is he? Oh, he's so mad. Who is he? And then he starts to play along with it. Yeah, who is great? I know your name. You know my name? Yeah, I know you. They don't know. The former president of the United States. Isn't that amazing? That's his name of the man. He is so... He's seething inside. Oh, my gosh. He's so angry. That's great. Great stuff. Even Zohran Mamdani, he's the former president. They don't care. They're like, who's this old guy? I haven't seen it before. I don't know who that is. But they know the new Marxists in town. They sure do. Which is great. They sure do. Their parents are watching his TikToks. That's terrific. That's for sure. That's for sure. That's good. That's good. That's good for America. Then speaking of Marxist, we got Pramila Jayapal on Trump's real goal. This might surprise you. I bet you didn't know this was his real goal. But she's going to clue you in here. Donald Trump ran on a false promise that he would get rid of the quote, worst of the worst. But instead, his administration has been moving forward their real goal, ending all legal immigration to this country. Oh. Just a few days ago, the conservative Kato Institute published a report showing that Trump has cut legal immigration by two and a half times as much.

1:02:45

as undocumented immigration since coming into office this term. Unlawful immigration had already fallen substantially, even before Trump took office, because the Biden administration expanded the legal pathways that people had to be here with legal presence, work, and contribute. But instead of maintaining that, Trump and Stephen Miller have done everything possible to destroy all legal immigration to this country, including eliminating TPS. H.R. 1689 provides a glimmer of hope to immigrant communities across the country starting with Haitians. It tells them that we value their work and contributions to our country. We do value their work. You need more Haitians. It tells them that we won't send them to their deaths. It tells them that America still welcomes the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's painful to listen. I do you look. I want to look into that, too. The two and a half times fewer legal immigrants into the United States, I have not heard that before. Let's say that's right. You know, so. Well, that's a good point, Jeffie. You bring up a good point there. I hope it should be more. I'm okay with that. Well, it has been about a million a year or somewhere between a million and a million five per year that are allowed in legally. That. is probably too many until we get the whole thing under control. We talked about this before. We need to stop. It all needs to stop. Yep. Yep. Then we can readjust. Yes. That needs to. We can readjust in time. Especially when you consider that anchor babies make up nearly 10% of all U.S. births now. Which is incredible. That's unreal. So in 20, and this is from 2023, it's probably higher than this now, but 20, 23, 10% of all births in America came from illegal immigrant mothers. Wow. That's 320,000 anchor babies that are now U.S. citizens because their mother gave birth to them in America. which is something we gotta get a grip on and haven't yet.

1:05:28

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

Great, Jeff Fisher for Glenn today. Triple-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. And here is that self-same Jeff Fisher. Some would call him Jeffie with the Fat Five. Awesome. We can start out. Five big stories. Because they're fat. They're big fat stories. Chewing the fat. Chewing the fat. Fat-Five. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. You can hear them regularly during your program. Right. Which is Pat Grey Unleash. Pat Released. Monday through Friday. 6 to 8 a.m. Central. Right. On Blaze TV and Blaze Radio Network. Which is 7 to 9 Eastern. And that would be 6 to 8 Central. Anyway, the Coachella ended after this big second weekend. And boy, how much fun did everyone have with Justin Bieber. Man. Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter. Man. Didn't Justin Bieber do something really weird? He did something stupid. He still looked at his computer and played his old songs. Yeah, weird. Really weird. And sang along to himself or something? Yeah, Sabrina Carpenter ended up dancing with Madonna, brought Madonna on the stage. They both were in their lingerie, sang dancing around the stage. I'm not opposed, do you know? Go ahead. You want to dance around your lingerie, go ahead. He didn't mind? No, it's fine, whatever. And Sabrina got in trouble anyway because she got, because somebody, she said, stop. Stop making noises. And it was some Muslim woman doing what they supposed, what she's some religious heckle or something. It was just really weird. Yeah, really weird. The whole thing was really weird. It was a, so it was a negative thing directed toward her? You know, she was, she said, hey, stop it. What's going on? What are you doing? Right. I don't like it. Whatever you're doing. But it was a Muslim prayer. But it was a Muslim thing. Okay. And they got mad at her for. For doing something anti-Muslim. Yeah. All right. Which, no, I will not go there. We have the NBA playoff. I have the NHL playoffs coming up to. So, man, what fun are we going to have? And I know what you're thinking. One in five Americans believe they're basically psychic. 19% according to new research. Survey of 2,000 adults explored how they employ their intuition in their daily lives, finding that another 71% rely on their intuition at least sometimes, and only 11% don't believe in it at all. Over the past year, respondents have had an average of 18 psychic moments. Across generations, Gen Z is the two moments per month, doubling the frequency that baby boomers experienced one moment a month. Some of the top areas that intuition reigns strongest are just knowing. whether something is off without explanation. Now, 33%, sensing dishonesty or the feeling that you get would just walk away from something, 26%. That's just the, I just knew. I just know about it. So, I mean, I guess unless you're actually psychic, you listen to your God. Is that actually...

1:10:08

being psychic or is that listening to the spirit the whole story is mostly about intuition they talk about it begins with you know the one in five americans think they're psychic but the whole story is about using your intuition right some would call it intuition others would call it the spirit some might call it yeah yeah just a little voice inside your head whatever yeah yeah so i mean that's what most of the story is i mean they had they talked to one guy this uh Former FBI guy who's now, which I thought was a, sounds like a pretty good gig. He's now the analyst and current logic to intuition integration advisor. I was just going for that job like a couple months ago. Right. And I didn't, he got it instead of me. Yeah. Oh. Pisses me off still to this day. Tried. I tried though. Well, good luck next time. Yeah, thank you. He may leave. Ford has recalled 1.4 million F1 pickup trucks because of a gear shift issue. I'm not sure if I saw that one coming or not. The recall includes F-150 light trucks and a six-speed automatic transmission that were produced between 2014 and 2017. Wow, these are, I mean, those are older models now. Ford is recalling the F-1 pickup truck because of the gearstiff issue. The automaker is a aware of two injuries and one accident, possibly related to the issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Safety Recall Report says what... Many of you, I'm sure, already know. Some of the pickup trucks may experience an intermittent selection signal the transmission range sensor to the power train control module, which may lead to temporary unintended downshift into second gear. This may cause an abrupt reduction in wheel speed for a short period of time in which some situations could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed low. Wow. So, you know, you'd lose control. It's actually what they're telling you. It seems suboptimal. Definitely suboptimal. I was looking, Ford has recalled approximately, and I have no idea. I didn't look into the other automobile companies, so Ford might be the low man on the totem pole. But they've recalled approximately 7.2 million vehicles so far this year. this year following a series of significant safety notifications issued by the national highway traffic society administration that seems like a lot that seems like a lot Wow. That seems like a lot. Yeah. So good luck if you have a for it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Over 2,000 Hollywood creators have signed the open letter expressing unequivocal opposition to Paramount's 111 billion acquisition of Warner Brothers. Discovery, the signers, the usual suspects, Brian Cranston, Mocking Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Damon Lin-Linoff, Lynn Manuel Miranda, yeah.

1:13:09

You get the picture. The letter started off with about a thousand signatures and then, I mean, it doubled, gone up ever since, just rocketed up. The arguments are familiar. The deal would shrink the number of U.S. major studios to four, meaning fewer productions, fewer jobs, JJ Abrams, you know, while he's on the list. He has a deal with Warner's through Bad Robot. Damon Lindelhoff is under an overall deal at HBO. Jason Bateman is a deal with HBO. Noah Wiley has a deal with HBO. So they can complain all they want. In fact, Lindelhoff said he signed the letter because he was afraid of retaliation. So he did it anyway for the sake of the below line workers. He actually knows Ellison and he likes him. Man, he cares about Hollywood being a blue-collar town. He cares about you. That's why he signed the letter. Nothing. Nothing is more blue-collar than Hollywood. Than Hollywood. I think we can all agree on that. That speaks for itself, right? Yeah. Yeah. Plus, I was reading this, and it looks like James Cameron is all for the deal because he called Ellison the right man for the job to run the major studio. That makes me think twice about it. I'm kind of okay with the deal, because they said, Paramount said, look, we're going to release 30 theatrical films a year. It's going to create more avenues for creators, not fewer. Okay. Yeah. That's what they say. We'll see. That's what they say. I mean, we still have Netflix. You know, Sarandos is meeting with the theater owners. There was a report of a big meeting with him at CinemaCon last week with the theater owner. So it'll be fine. Yeah, it's fine. It'll be fine. That's fine. I don't even worry about it. Speaking of mergers, too, will it be United American or American United? Because apparently United Airlines pitched President Trump on Big Idea back in February. What if we merged with American Airlines? Wow, really? And they talked the news broke last week. And if no one knows. Less competition. That's not good. The two would control 40% of the domestic flights. Now American Airlines came out at the end of last week and said, yeah, we're not interested in merging. I hope that's true. So. That would not be a good. That's not a good thing for the consumer. What? Are you kidding me? United American, American United? No. Because the airlines are so friendly now. Right, yeah. And they're so good. They are. They're so welcoming. They are. They'd be even more welcoming if it was. And you get so many extras on every flight now, don't you? You get so much for your money. They're happy to have you. It's incredible. And if you're not, if you're unhappy, just say something. They'll throw you right off the flight. And so you don't have to be on the plane anymore. You don't have to worry about flying. And maybe have you arrested. Well, the police will be there to detain you when you can leave the airplane. They might not actually arrest you, but. But you will be detained. You will be detained. Which is always fun. Yes, that's always fun. So that's something to look forward to. That is the two of the fat fat five. Representative Ilhan Omar says,

1:16:22

She's not a millionaire. Now, you might remember, I don't know, a couple of months ago, there was a big story that her wealth, she and her husband's wealth. Yeah. From, I don't know, a minuscule amount, not minuscule, but for a person in these high profile positions, it's minuscule because most of our representatives are incredibly wealthy. She had a wealth of something like $200,000. Well, it spiked ever so slightly. to $30 million. And that created a little bit of a problem for her. Hey, hey, Wade, I thought you were all about. equality. And where are you? Where's this money coming from? What's going on? How'd you get so rich in such a short amount of time? Yeah, usually the representatives take a couple of years to get to that well. They try to at least hide some of their insider trading. They don't just want to come out with it. Right. Well, it came right out. It did. And so she did a little amending to her filing. Oh, okay. I think our reps have to. They file their financials yearly, maybe. And so she just did that again, but amended her filing just ever so slightly. It went from $30 million to $18,000. Now she's worth. $18,000. Wow. It was a little error on the part of our accountant. What's supposed to be able to count all of our money? Well, you counted too much of it. He did. He's kind of too much. He did. He overvalued some things. You know, like instead of their home being worth, let's say, $500,000, it's worth $50 million. So what's incredible is that it's like it's, she makes $100,000. 174,000 a year. 174, yeah. So how could you possibly be worth $18,004? That's what they specifically live, 18,004. Now they say, yeah, they gave her, there's a window there, right? They gave her a little bit of leeway from 18, it might be 18,000, it might be 95,000. Oh. Oh, okay. Where do you? I'd like to file that, actually. I would love to file. Yeah, I make somewhere between $30 a year and $30 million. You figure it out, IRS. That doesn't work for us. How does it work for her? I don't know. I don't know. And how do you, the discrepancy is a, oh, that's a fairly large discrepancy. That's a large discrepancy. You would think that the accountant. wouldn't be an accountant after that. You sure would.

1:19:12

the whole business should be shuttered if that's their competency level. I mean, that is insane. And does anybody believe that it was just some accounting error? Because I certainly don't. I think that they've made this kind of money. And they've, you know, she's discovered the world of insider trading. And they probably tripled, quadripled, subtled their, all of their portfolio. Absolutely. And then it's like, oh, we don't want people to know that. No, I'm only worth $18,000. And I'm sure. I'm sure that she is not involved in anything to do with the fraud going on in Minneapolis. Oh, no. Wow. I'm surprised you even bring that up. Oh, I'm sorry. Whoa. Okay. Are you saying just because it's Somali fraud and she's from Somalia. That she might be connected to that somehow? I'm saying no. Well, okay. I'm saying no. Good, because you scared me there. I was about to get really upset with you. It's not possible that she could be involved in any of that. Your racism and nativism was really showing through there for a minute. All right. More coming up. Glenn Beck is back after this.

1:20:40

Saying that last goodbye to a furry friend that you've loved over the years is devastating. What makes it even harder is knowing how quickly time goes by. One day, they're racing to the door. The next day, they're moving a little slower, sleeping a little more, and you start wondering, is there anything I can do? Most of us would do anything to get our dogs or pets to live longer.

You see that Jim Jordan wants to expunge the Trump impeachment, wants to just take it from American history, which would be great. Absolutely. Get rid of it. This is the one in 2019, I believe. The hoax, yeah. Right? Yeah, the Russia collusion hoax. Which it should be expung. And I think, I think Kash Patel has said he's looking into, I forget what they were all looking into. Because when I see the FBI stuff now, I'm like, okay, well. I know. Let me know when you're done. It's just hard to trust him again. Let me know when you're done. Yeah, right. Because we, they got us all lathered up. Cash and Dan, all of them got us kind of lathered up that we were going to get to the bottom of the Epstein files and we're going to do that day one. And then it didn't happen on day one or day 1,000. Of course, we're not to 1,000 quite yet. But I don't think we're ever going to get to the bottom of that. It doesn't look good for that, which is really unfortunate because. You know, all the abuse that happened to young girls, somebody needs to be held accountable. And I don't think they're going to be. And it's really too bad. In Britain, there's a shadow industry of law firms and advisors that's charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay so that they can stay in the UK. And for some reason that all rhymed. I don't know what. That's awesome. But apparently if you're gay and you're claiming asylum in Britain, that helps because if you're coming from a Muslim country, you could be in danger for being gay. So. Whether they're gay or not, they're pretending to be so they can stay and claim asylum. And they need help to learn how to be gay? I guess so. Here. I guess so. Cross your legs like this. All right. We've got more coming up. We'll check in with Jason Bethlehem. Coming up in a few minutes, talk about Iran and some other situations that are going on on our planet. It's coming up on the Glenn Beck program, Pat and Jeffie.

Great, Jeff Fisher. We're going to talk to Jason Buttrill coming up in a second. He's taking some time off the... Not the insiders. It's the torch insiders. Right? Torchies? That works. We're going to talk to him to get an update on what's happening in Iran in 60 seconds. Let me ask you something. How many different places do you have to go right now just to understand your business insurance? And I don't mean to buy it. I mean to actually just understand it. Because for most people, business insurance is not one thing. It's a collection of things. Different policies, different documents, different people you have to call depending on what the question is. And when you actually need a straight answer, you don't always get one. That's the part that doesn't make sense, and it can be really frustrating when you're trying to get it right. Well, this new company, I am a big fan of Super Sure, they just fix this. It's one agency, one team, working with you year-round, not just when it's time to renew, so you can actually see how everything fits together instead of trying to piece it together for yourself. And they even built a tool called the Fine Print Facts. They'll take all the legal language and translate it into real English so you know exactly what you have, what it covers, and what it doesn't. Because you should know. You should never have to guess when something is right when it's this important. Go to supershure.com slash back. That's super sure.com slash back.

All right, Jason joins us because the straight is open. The straight is closed. The straight is open again. Now it's closed. And so which is it, Jason, where are we here? And do, are we even talking to the right people? Who are the right people? Apparently we're not talking to anyone. I think that is the question, but I also think that that is part of the strategy. I think this has been the goal the entire time. From the moment we announced that ceasefire, I think the entire point was to get us to this. what we're seeing right now and what the media is finally reporting on. Really? So what is that? So from the very beginning, we've had the political leadership within Iran, whether it's the Speaker of the Parliament, the President, Foreign Minister, whatever. They're making claims. They'll make a claim. We'll respond to it. And then maybe 12 hours later, they'll be like, Well, that's not what I meant. Something else. You know, and then they completely just destroy whatever we thought was happening. Yeah. That has been the state of the game back and forth, back and forth all the way up until we're at today. Yeah, that was forever. During the negotiations, the last negotiations to set up this current ceasefire. I don't know if you remember, but Marco Rubio, when he came back, he said that what they came to realize was that the people, the political leadership that were there with them in Pakistan, did not even have the leverage to even negotiate. Oh, wow. So they left thinking, okay, why. That's why J.D. was so upset. Yeah, I mean, well, and there was a lot of different stuff about, I mean, when J.D. When, when, when, when vice president advanced, when he, he was kind of clearing up those 10 point plans. And that to me was hilarious because they could not, that was the crazy. This is all part of it as well. That was the craziest piece proposal I've ever seen in my life. For one, there was about four different versions of it. We're like, what exactly are they proposing? Right. Because you didn't know if it was coming from the political leadership or you didn't know if it was coming from, oh, well, this version's coming from the IRGC. No one actually knows. It's all been building to... Basically having them all, all the leadership in Iran doing that Spider-Man meme, where they're all doing this. They're all pointing to one side. The other one's point is, are you negotiating with them? Did you agree with them? GC is taking over the strait of Hormuz, though, right? They're the ones that are. And they claim to be in charge of Iran. Yeah, and they are. Do you think they are? They've always been. Okay. They've always been. Even to become president of the United States, become president of Iran, you have to go through, and I'm sure you guys know this, too. You have to go through a committee. Then it goes through the.

1:31:05

Ayatollah and they say oh yeah there's elections but only the elections for the two guys that I said do you want blue crazy twelver or red crazy twelver pick wise Iranians either either way it's going to be someone that the supreme leader has already signed off on yeah or someone that he's gonna he's gonna push somebody any regardless but does the IRGC answer to the Ayatola or is it vice versa That's a very good question. So right now, I'm not even know if, I don't even know if he's pulling any strings at the moment. Plus he's dead. You know, he's got a second patch. The son is either dead, critically wounded, missing body parts, or he's in charge. I mean, we don't really know, do we? No, we don't really know. But the IRJC has always been an extension of what the Supreme Leader has wanted to do. Now, you have the, basically Iran is wild. It's a full-blown security state. Security... surveillance state. The IRGC runs it with an iron fist. Not only that, but they make billions of dollars off of it. They have their own banks. They have their own industries. They have their own shell companies. They are the richest people within the country. They pull all of the strings. They are the radicals of the radicals. Many of their leadership, whatever's left after, you know, this campaign, go all the way back to the revolution. They are the true power structure within Iran. And the political leadership has really always just been the face. Yeah. So right now you're seeing, you're finally starting to see Western media kind of report on the way it actually is. Because they've been a hindrance up until now. The mainstream media has been reporting as if we're losing this war. Yeah. Which is despicable. Yeah. This has been the most successful military campaign that I can ever remember. And if something like this were to be planned or executed in the past, it would involve some massive ground troop and time, I guess, package attached to it. That's not the way they have done this military campaign. And it has been an incredibly targeted campaign. It has, I mean... basically almost full air superiority within a matter of days, which Iran is, is, is, is considered one of the top tier regional powers that should be able to combat against this. Basically everything that Vladimir Putin wanted to do Ukraine and failed to do, we did it in just a few days. Yeah. Which is just wild. There's no possible way you can claim that this is not going well. The only problem is and the only thing looking forward is what is it going to take to fully say, okay, screw it. No more games. We are seized control of the Strait of Hormuz. What does that mean? Does that mean occupying some islands, you know, within the strait? Now you're getting close. Yes, I think it does. Do I think that equals, you know, in Afghanistan, Libya, that type of thing, you know, Iraq commitment? No, I do not think it is. Every war is different and I think this would be different. Am I more uneasy about it? Yes, I am more uneasy about it. And we're not going to get any of our allies.

1:34:12

keeping the street themselves. It was the last week, right as, it was Friday. I think it was right on the day that the, what was it, the president or former, whoever was in Iran said the straight is now open. And then Trump said, yes, the straight is open. You know, congratulations, blah, blah. That day, Keir Starmer from the UK, and it was Emmanuel Macron, said, guys, we met. Um, you know, because we fully, we're putting a committee together. We're already, and yeah, we can announce that, you know, the committee said yes, we should put it together a 10 point plan on what we plan to do in the future. And I was like, just shut up. This is stupid. Okay. You don't plan to do anything. You're going to wait until everything's resolved and then say, I guess, sail your little dingy in there and say we're here. Right. Give me a break. Which, you know, it's hard to believe for me that. Britain has not supported us at all of this. This is supposedly our closest ally in the world, maybe between them and Israel, but I think it's probably more like Britain. And they've just completely turned their back on us. And they get, well, I don't know if they get more goods than us that come through the straight, but they get a lot of them. Yeah, that's right. It's responsible for a lot of goods for them. It's one of the side quests that I think this entire thing has unlocked, that I don't know if the Trump administration plan for this to fully come out during this or not, but it's out regardless, is that a lot of our previous allies, which we have always thought were, whether it's NATO, whether it's the UK in our special relationship, that they're not exactly allies. They depend on us through multiple different things, whether it's imbalance trade, you know, agreements, whether that's tariffs that they had on us, that it's the moment we said, hey, we're going to put reciprocal. They were like, whoa, whoa, hey now, hey now. Or whether we said, hey, you really need to protect yourself with your own military. They have not wanted to do that. And it's reasonable for them not to want to do that. If I'm them, I'm like, well, crap, I'm getting all this money from you guys. The trade is, the trade deals are built off of post-World War II construction or reconstruction. I can fund all of these welfare programs and progressive ideology. And they have. I mean, the very first thing after the UK, after World War II was over, the progressive swooped in and they created the National Health Service. Not, oh, let's get all our banks up to it. Let's get all our manufacturing. No, let's seize control of the medical industry. She shows you they weren't really going off a good faith on that. But that's how they've operated ever since. Yeah. Stupid. Yeah. Is there a chance that Trump backs up some of his threats and pulls out of NATO? Wow. That's a good question. I... I don't think that, so I know that that would be a very lengthy legal thing. What was that deal? It probably have to involve Congress, right? Yes. Well, not in terms of the Constitution. In terms of the Constitution, he should be able to do this. He should be able to. He can unilaterally pull us out. As per the Constitution. Now, the problem is, was it the Congress passed a law? What was it through the National Defense Authorization Act to make it harder for him to do that? But I think that's grossly unconstitutional, and I think that the Supreme Court would strike that down. Personally, that's what I believe.

1:37:26

Now, if I was the Trump administration, I would not do that. I would, okay, you want me to stay in NATO? You want to cause all these problems? Fine. I'm just going to pull all of our troops and bases out of the countries that stabbed us in the back. Oh, I want to do that so badly. I know. I'm all about that. I think that's where we found out that we couldn't empty our bases out, right? We couldn't end those. So we would have to leave at least, you know, a couple of gate guards. And then still call it a base, but not have anyone there. That's fine. And then take the rest of them and either put them in Poland or take them and take them back somewhere closer to the United States. I mean, that would be hilarious to watch them scramble. Anytime you even threaten to close a base, look at the holy heck that it, you know, the chaos, just in our own country. Like you really say, we can close a base down. We can expand our base in Greenlands because we own that. And we need to set up a new base in Cuba. And we need to set up a new base in Vietnam. Venezuela. So we could be used to troops there. I like how you're thinking. Exactly. The Cuba and Venezuela bases will be lit. I might rejoin the military, actually, to spend a little bit of time down in Havana. That'd be guessing great. It's... It's interesting because if there was ever a president who would not just threaten this, but do it, it's this one. It's President Trump to get us out of NATO or out of the UN. It's amazing that he's even discussing it. Yeah, and the discussion is really important because I believe that this is what I personally believe. I think that everything he's doing abroad, everything he's doing through trade, everything he's doing through tariffs, everything, I believe is done for a very specific reason. I think all of it is for disengagement. I think that once we fix the problems like with the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East, we can then disengage from there. Same with Europe. And we can use that for leverage with really obtaining officially Greenland. Right? We could, if we, if you are not excited about turning over Greenland to us, how about how excited are you if we pull out of NATO? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I mean, I can't imagine that they'd be okay with that. They'll pretend to be okay with that. Yeah. But they couldn't function on their own. They could not function. That's so ridiculous. If we actually pulled out of NATO, they would have to up their own defense. They would have to build their own Navy. And they're not in that position right now. No, and they never will be. It's like if you have a kid and you're constantly letting him live in your basement, he's 35 years old, he's not equipped to care for himself. That's what Europe. Europe is our 35-year-old son that is living in the basement right now. It's so stupid. It is. It's agonizing. They have an extra doorway. It seems if we put his own mailbox on there, you know, he can check his own mail. Yeah, but we're not giving him a TV because then that's too much. You know, it'll just be wasted time down there. Did I hear you mention that Ilhan Omar and her finances are kind of tied in to?

1:40:30

what, the Iranian situation? What were you saying on them? I was looking at, I was so glad you guys brought that up because I was looking to do that in one of our insider segments because I was looking, when I was looking through different stories, I look for things that connect and some of our radio prep. And it was those dastardly accountants. that are terrorizing. It's all their fault. And there was this story about California and Gavin Newsom. They have an issue of like, what was like a $2 billion issue? Yes, yes. And I'm reading through the story and it was like those dang accountants. You know, if it was not for them. It was a rounding error. Come on. Two billion dollars and you're going to say it's only the accountant's fault. Incredible. Whether you're going for $30 million to what was the thing with Illinois? 18,000. $18,000. Yeah. If not for those dang accountants. I know. But this is how they skirt responsibility, whether it's on the state level, the federal level, or Elon Musk Omar in her wineries and stuff. Yeah, Minnesota winery. Okay. Do we know where the winery is? We don't. I'm assuming that it's in Minnesota because there's nothing like those frozen grape wine, man. Oh, delicious. This time of year, phenomenal. These are the things that really tick Americans off is they always come up with a way so that they can shift the blame onto somebody else and claim ignorance every single time. And everyday American cannot do that. No, I mean, how many times I said this on the inside segment is like you get pulled over for going 50 and a 35. You cannot say, oh, I'm sorry, officer, I did not know. I was ignorant to the speed. limit. It doesn't matter. It does not matter unless you're in Congress. Then apparently it's perfectly fine.

Pat and Jeffey for Glenn today, AAA 727BECK. I know Jason had to get out of here, but I wanted to ask him, and I didn't get an opportunity, if he thought that President Trump would start bombing Iran tomorrow or Wednesday, because tomorrow's the last day of the ceasefire. Right. Right? Yeah. So does that mean tomorrow at midnight is the last day or whatever, but... It's a good question. You know, but at what point... If they haven't bent the knee to open the straight of Hormuz and say that, yes, we're not going to, we'll do everything you want. And that's right, we're defeated, which I'm sure they're not going to do. No. When does he start bombing? Because he needs to. Yeah. And hopefully we won't get the answer in advance because we don't want to tip them off to when the bombing begins. I don't know. I don't care. Let them know. We're coming. I think that's the feeling of a lot of the U.S. military doesn't matter. But you don't want to tip your hand too much. So who knows? I guess we'll have to wait and see as far as wind bombing resumes because we've been pretty patient up to this point. We have. And I don't want to, look, I don't want to bomb, you know. Iranian citizens. And, you know, I don't want to, I get that. I get all that. But on the other hand. On the other hand. On the other hand. On the other hand. When they're showing this kind of militancy and this kind of disrespect. Yeah. You would think we would have earned some respect by now. After all, we've already done? Yeah, I know. After all we've already done. I mean, we're saying we've got rid of there. We've killed all their shit. They've got no ships. They've got no weapons. They've got none of this. And yet they still haven't said, okay, you got us. You know, I give. I give. Okay, well, let's give you a little bit more then. That just kind of shows that it is the IRGC that's in control in Iran. It just shows that the military is in control of Iran. And they don't care about their people. We've seen that by the fact that they murdered 42,000 of their citizens during the protests. Right. 42,000. And there were reports of more than that, actually. Yeah, went up to like 90 or 95,000. I think the same accountants that did Alana Omar's worth did the numbers in Iran. Yeah. And it's really sad. It's really tragic because you don't want the Iranian people to be punished for what their leadership is doing. But it's hard for them not to be caught up in that. For sure. And look, we talked about it from the very beginning. How does the everyday Iranian?

1:46:15

take over his country. If the everyday guy, you know, I run a coffee shop and it's what I do. I sell coffee downtown. And you're unarmed. I don't want you to buy my downtown coffee shop. Yeah. I'm just trying to make a living. And now we're leaving it up to them to take over their country. Well, how do they do that? I don't have the answer to that. I don't know. I don't think anybody has the answer. Yeah. Which is why it hasn't happened. The president has said multiple times that when this is over, you need to take back your country. But what form does that take? Yeah. I guess you've got to get out in the streets. And when is it over? Yeah. What is it over? I don't know. And I would guess it's when you get out of the streets? Mm-hmm. Right? And you say, okay, we're taking our country back? Mm-hmm. Okay, well, oh, that's great. But does that mean? that we're talking to Bill the coffee shop owner now for the new rules? I mean, I don't know how that works. Honestly, I don't. Part of what makes this so difficult is, you know, we took out so much of their leadership and nobody knows exactly who's in control now. Right. All right, AAA-27-B-E-C-K. More coming up.

1:47:47

Some people in today's world really feel forgotten. There's a Jewish woman named Esther I'd like to tell you about. In her home in Israel, Esther is living through days and nights and fear. Sirens are sounding, rockets screaming through the sky, long stretches spent in a bomb shelter. She's 84 years old. Esther's frightened. She's fragile. She's alone. Imagine that. No help, no food deliveries, no medical care, no one knocking at her door, in a war zone. But because of people like you, she doesn't feel alone. She's not alone. Through the fellowship, you're there, bringing food, meeting urgent needs, reminding the Jewish people that just like Esther, you're not forgotten. In times of fear and uncertainty, your compassion brings hope and help. Esther asks that you hear these words. To those who give, you are doing a very great mitzvah, a good deed. Give from your heart. May God protect you. Your gift to God's people is truly hope-giving and life-saving. Please don't wait. Call 8 at 8-488-488-I-F-C-J right now. 8-8-488-I-F-C-J or go to IFCJ.org.

Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher from Pat Gray Unleashed. Filling in for Glenn today, who is back again tomorrow morning. Same time, same place. Same. Same. So, the world will be right again. In fact, I think he is in this studio, right? Yeah, it's going to be here this week, so that'll be fun. We have this African correspondent for CNN who is discussing Africa and their love for our president, Donald Trump. Yeah, I found this interesting. This is nice to see and hear. It is nice. And the CNN host is almost like, who lined this person up? He's our African correspondent. I told me to show him. So, yeah, this is clip 32. So what is the overall feeling about President Donald Trump on the continent of Africa? President Trump is surprisingly much beloved in Africa. And people don't realize this. Part of the reason, part of the reason why President Trump is beloved in Africa is because he's got a strong opposition to abortion. People feel like he probably is not. pro-LGB rights. People are very religious in Africa. Many people are religious, either Christian or Muslim. And so they feel that President Trump represents those conservative values that they agree with. Obviously, President Trump has made some decisions that affect Africans moving to the United States. There's a lot of visa restrictions. There are aid cuts that affect the USAID. In Cameroon, where Pope Leo is right now, maybe 600,000 people might not have food. in the next few months because of the aid cuts that affect USAID and foreign aid by the United States. But overall, I think when I go around Africa, people like President Trump, they like that he speaks his mind. And they remember him from The Apprentice. It was very well syndicated across Africa. And they remember him from The Apprentice. That's great. He's actually cut funds to USAID, which was, Jeffie, it was doing so much good. I mean, listen to just a few of the wonderful programs that USAID was funded. Oh, good. Yeah. Americans have been funding the following. 5.5 million to LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda. 800,000 for transgender people, sex workers, and their clients in Nepal. 6.6 for LGBT activism, free training and pastry cooking, psychosocial counseling, a cyber cafe, and the dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti. Dance focus groups. And 1.1 million to produce gender transformation in diverse social and behavior change report, which advocates, quote, gender blindness. Gender blindness. I mean, all those have been cut. Where are the trans dancers in Nepal going to get their funding now? Those cuts seem to think that the way the correspondent made it sound that the people would be happy about.

1:52:25

Right. You would think so. Yeah. But I don't know where the sex workers and their clients are going to get their money in Zimbabwe. I don't know at this point. I mean, it's just cruel. Maybe they don't do that job. Well, that's unthinkable. Okay. That's unacceptable. I'm sorry. I can't hear about that. All right. I can't abide it. Can't abide it, Jeff. I can't think it out loud. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Okay. Are you going to be reading the Bible with President Trump tomorrow? Is it tomorrow? Is tomorrow the day? Oh, wow. He's reading between 6 and 7 p.m. Eastern. And it'll be available to watch. There's a live stream of it. America reads the Bible. The great American Purefix app will do it. But it's going to be tomorrow night. President Trump is going to read the Bible. I mean, it's a marathon of Bible reading, which is pretty incredible. So how long will that go on? Is it just an hour? For President Trump. Yeah, okay. So he's going to be there for a full hour? Yep. How great is that? I know. What other US president? Has ever done that? I would say none. Is it one? Well, let me think. Did I carry the one? Yeah, okay, carry the one. None. Zero U.S. presidents. Are you the answer? Pretty sure. You need a. Pretty sure. You need an accountant for that? I mean, you can fact check me on that, but I'm pretty confident in the answer being zero. I mean, we're creeping up. This is part of the, you know, run down to 250th anniversary. 250, yeah. Yeah. Which were what, 74 or 75 days away? So it's a pretty big deal. Do you remember how? It's a huge deal. I mean, I know that you were too young at the time. But you maybe heard about this from your grandfather when you were sitting on his lap and you crushed his legs. Do you remember that? And we hear about it all the time. I don't remember crushing his legs. I remember sitting on his lap and telling me about things. Okay, so he did not, it's just a rumor that he had to have his legs amputated after you sat on it. I think it started, that rumor started from someone in this room, actually. Well, that's wrong. That's just wrong. I'm looking around. I was in here hiding right now. But yes, I did hear my grandfather. Because the bicentennial, do you remember how huge that was? It was gigantic and we talked about it all the time. Sure did. Everything was involved. Everybody had parts, all of it. Yes. And it just, it doesn't feel like that this time. No, it doesn't. And it's 250 years. And it should.

1:54:57

It should. I mean, we have the... Really should. And look, there's all kinds of stuff that's happening around the 250. I mean, we're going to have the state fair on the mall. All the states are there and our territories showing off what they're, you know, famous for. Maybe we'll have Minnesota showing their Minnesota wine. I don't know what Minnesota is going to bring. And what day is the event that Glenn is doing... Oh, it's May 2nd. Okay. So that's coming up in a couple of weeks. Okay. And that's part of it. Yeah. That'll be great. And then we have the, I mean, we have the National Prairie event, which we rededicate One Nation Under God. That's good. That's really good. The Flag Day event, which everyone is so happy to point out. That's his birthday, too. Right. That's a President Trump's birthday. That's a birthday. Yeah, we know. Okay. That's where they're having the UFC event that day. Because I, and I like the fact that it's on Flag Day instead of the 4th of July. Me too. I think that's a more appropriate place for it, frankly. Not that that UFC event isn't wonderful and tremendous. I just don't know that that needs to be the main focus on the 4th of July. Right. And then we have the, I mean, we have the Patriot games coming up, the Hunger Games, I mean the Patriot games coming up in the fall, where we have the four-day athletic event, the high school athletes, one boy and one girl, no trans, according to the president, from each state and territory. Okay. That'll be fun. I mean, we have the Garden of American Heroes. He's going to build the arch, which you just got some of the go-ahead with. That looks like it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be awesome. It's 250 feet tall. So it's even bigger than the Lark de Triumph in France. And that's probably the most famous one in the world. Yeah. And ours is going to be bigger. And it should be. 100 feet taller, it should be. Yes. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, you frogs. We're going to have four gold lions on it at the base. It's going to have a 60-foot tall Lady Liberty-like gold statue facing the Washington monument flanked by gold eagles. It's going to be breathtaking. Visitors are going to be able to access the viewing deck through an internal staircase. I'm not taking those stairs. No. No, I'm looking at it from out here. Not climbing the stairs, no. Now, an elevator. An elevator, yeah. I'll do that elevator. I might consider that. Imagine there's going to be long lines. Escalator, elevator. I'll do one of those. Yeah. The stairs? No. No, thank you. No, thank you. I'm not doing that. Also, over the weekend, China did something interesting. Apparently, they're doing this every year now because last year they did a robot race where robots raced against humans. And it didn't go well last year. They were, the robots were all falling down. They had to be picked up and helped by their, you know, humans. The handlers. Yeah. The handlers. And the ones who were actually running it. You know, they were still, there was. They weren't really running. They weren't, they were kind of walking sort of not even that fast. Most of them weren't autonomous, though. They were, they needed help. Now, one year later, we have this. Check this out. Yeah. Right now.

1:58:20

And he is, those of you, he's going to final stage. I mean, this robot is, looks like a person with no arms running, really fast. I mean, he's running. That's really fast compared to what we've seen on these humanoids robots. And he broke the record, actually. But he crashes. But then he hits the side. He crashes. They cries it to the side, but he's so far ahead. It doesn't matter. And he's down. He's down for the cow. So the handlers run out. And they pick him back up. Pick him back up. Get him back on his feet. Here they come. And he finishes the race. So a whole bunch of handlers come out and there's, I don't know, 10 guys that lift him back up. They run. He fell down and went boom. The handlers came and so did the medics. Uh-huh. And the medic people are like, that way they don't need us. This is a robot. It's not a human. Okay. It turns out he's not bleeding. And so then he just starts running again. They stand him back out. Now, the guys can't even keep up with him. It's funny, but it's not. Now, he's had a record. When he set the record, right? He beat the... He beat the human record by seven minutes. Right. The record before this was, I don't know, for a human, 57 minutes and some seconds. He did it. This robot did it in 50 minutes. Incredible. That's... Even after falling down. Next year, it'll be 20 minutes and he won't fall down. Right. And if you see a hundred of those coming into your neighborhood, what do you do? Well, you can't knock them down, apparently, after next year. Yeah, I mean, it would be like weble robots, man. Yeah, they can wobble, but they don't fall down. We're already using them. I mean, we're already having plenty of places using robots to assist in security. Robot dogs, robots on wheels assisting in security. The dog ones are the ones that are a little scary when you see them patrolling areas. There's places that patrol have those dogs patrolling. And, you know, I don't think you want none of that. No, I personally don't. I'm pretty sure. I don't think you want. It's the advancement from last year to this year is staggering. Yeah, for those robots. Yeah, absolutely. You know how long it took, it took the robot last year. It took him and he fell down over and over and over again. But he wound up finishing the race in two hours and 40 minutes. It took him almost three hours. This year, 50 minutes. Yeah. amazing progress in one year still crashed uh fell down a time or two but still wiped out the competition yeah yeah that particular robot wiped out the competition humans were i think eight minutes behind it and i think some other there was multiple robot teams there i think six robots beat beat all humans yeah and there was there was and i don't know if any of those were autonomous or not I don't know if any of those were on their own or not. Some were they, I think they said about 40% of them were completely autonomous. But 60% needed help. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But it's still, but it's frightening. It's chilling. It is. I mean, next year, look out for The Terminator. I know. Triple-8-727. Beck. You know, the host does have to pee every now and then.

Which you can be a part of on Blaze TV or Blaze Radio. Pat Unleashed 6 to 8. central or wherever you get your podcast whatever time of day and night that's a good idea as well um apparently there's a couple of major u.s airlines that are trying to merge well the report was yeah united brought it up to president trump apparently that uh they wanted to merge with american what do you what do you think about that don what do you think and so that that was the report now american has said we're not we're not interested in that but i hope they're not because that just That just lessens the competition factor. Together, they're like 40% of the American Air Force. Is that all? Oh, that's not bad. Plus, they're ranked. According to Wallet Hub, American is ranked eighth, and United is ranked 10th on this list. So, I mean, if they merge, I mean, whether they become seventh or something? Big deal. Who's number one in that? Is it Delta? It is not Delta. Delta is seventh. Seven? Yeah. Really? And then you got JetBlue.

2:04:48

Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Are they all ahead of United? That's correct. Yeah. Oh, wow. SkyWest and Southwest. Southwest is number two. SkyWest is number three. And the number one, best airline, according to Wallet Hub, Spirit Airlines. What? What? You'd think it was some other brand, but no. You can't be serious. Spirit airline. That's what the ball of us says. Have you ever flown, Spirit? One time. That's all we did, too. One time. One time. Although I will say that one time, I flew from Detroit to Dallas. Yeah. Spirit. And you liked it? Well, I just. Was that, that's a little bit of a stretch? The pilot was good. Oh, okay. But the seats, you know, I mean, they are not necessarily fat guy friendly. I know. They're not skinny guy friendly. Wow. So, okay, so it goes Spirit. Oh, let me get back to the list. Yeah, give me the top 10. Southwest. So you got Spirit Southwest, SkyWest, Alaska, Hawaiian Airlines. JetBlue Airways. And I would probably say, I would venture sail like probably Hawaiian or Alaska. But if they were ranked number one, maybe I agree with that. Because, you know, they're just, you know, small regional. JetBlue number six. Delta, number seven. America number eight. Frontier, number nine. United, number 10, an envoy air number 11. I've never even heard of Envoy Air. They used, according to Wallet Hub, their methodology. Yeah. 16 key metrics across four major categories. Probably on time. Baggage and departures. Animal incidents. In-flight comfort and cost and safety. Well, Spirit isn't. Animal encounters? Animal encounters, yeah. So, like, how often you've been bitten by a dog when you've been on a flight? Somebody's ferret went mad on United. I got a snake bite. I'm not reading this airline very high. Tell you that right now.
