August 05, 2008
Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program


The good people of Houston prepare for tropical storm Edouard...

GLENN: I give you our argument against idiots today. In fact, let me -- is Pat on the phone? Is he online? Pat, are you there?

GRAY: I'm here.

GLENN: We're going to give our arguments. Can you hang on with us for a few minutes? Because I want to talk to you about Medellin before we do the arguments against idiots.

GRAY: All right. You don't want to talk about Edouard and the unbelievable carnage that's sweeping through the Houston area?

GLENN: Not really.

GRAY: We've got reports. Some people have had to put their wipers on intermittent.

GLENN: Shut up.

GRAY: I'm serious. Not sustained winds but gusts up to 8 miles an hour in Houston area.

GLENN: Stu, see if we can get Stu out on the --

GRAY: You might want to.

GLENN: The Gulf of Mexico to see if he can give us a report out there.

GRAY: Been brutal, been brutal.

GLENN: And how do you pronounce the name of this hurricane?

GRAY: Edouard.

GLENN: Edouard?

GRAY: Edouard. If you want to roll in the back of your tongue.

GLENN: Edouard.

GRAY: Edouard.

GLENN: Hurricane Edouard.

GRAY: Kind of like you would say (inaudible), Edouard.

GLENN: Like I say what?

GRAY: (Inaudible). You know like if you were a news journalist and you spoke completely nonaccented English but you happened to be down in Nicaragua with a story and you wanted to show your --

GLENN: Prowess?

GRAY: Yeah, your prowess as a journalist, then you go... (inaudible).

GLENN: I didn't know that. You can't say that.

GRAY: No, it's a rule.

GLENN: Is that kind of like the -- is like the gutter? Remember when we changed, it was like -- what was it, Qatar?

GRAY: Yeah, gutter. All of a sudden our whole lives it's been Qatar. Now it's like gutter.

GLENN: You're like gutter, when did we start calling it gutter? But do the Nicaragua thing again?

GLENN: (Inaudible).

GLENN: When you say it like that, you're like, what the hell did I just say?

GRAY: Well, you've got to think about it.

GLENN: I understand. All right. So Edouard. Edouard is not really getting too dicey, huh?

GRAY: Kind of a nonevent again, yeah. But we're --

GLENN: So let me ask you this. Is there a chance that the power would go out and you can't, you know, soup up the electric chair tonight?

Mexican set for Texas execution

GRAY: No.

GLENN: No?

GRAY: Well, I mean, there is that chance but I've already offered to donate a baseball bat if that happened. So I think we're going to be okay.

GLENN: Why the hate? Why the hate from this -- why the hate for this misunderstood illegal alien that your state in Texas is just trying to kill for some reason?

GRAY: I know. Have you seen that Canadian website where he launched into his big explanation about how it was just an adolescent decision he made?

GLENN: An adolescent, didn't he brutally rape and kill and torture two girls?

GRAY: For over an hour, uh-huh, yeah.

GLENN: Sometimes -- can I tell you something? Pat, do you remember when we were adolescents? Do you remember when we were just like crazy, we were just like, what do you want to do. You're like, I don't know, maybe we just go torture a dog for a while, cut him open and stuff but keep him alive? Do you remember that?

GRAY: Yeah. Down at the old folks home? Remember that?

GLENN: That was so adolescent (laughing). Wait a minute, Pat, shouldn't we maybe get the old folks out of the nursing home and --

GRAY: Nah.

GLENN: No, we're adolescents. Let's burn them alive inside.

GRAY: You want to try to get out of there when they're watching (laughing).

GLENN: (Laughing). That was so adolescent of us.

GRAY: Oh, those were the days.

GLENN: Why didn't we -- Pat, why were we burning down old folks homes? I mean, that was fun, don't get me wrong. Do you remember that old lady who was like, "Help me.

GRAY: Yeah.

GLENN: "Help me, don't let me burn to death." And I'm like, look, her white hair is on fire. We could have been scoring chicks and then carving them up.

GRAY: Yeah.

GLENN: What were we thinking?

GRAY: Well, we weren't, clearly we weren't.

GLENN: Those adolescent days (laughing).

GRAY: (Laughing).

GLENN: Okay. In case you don't understand what that adolescent did many years ago, why don't you tell me about what's his name?

GRAY: Jose Medellin.

GLENN: No, no, no. Say it, come on, like you're in Nicaragua.

GRAY: Jose Medellin. Jose Medellin.

GLENN: Jose Medellin, he was just an adolescent.

GRAY: Just an adolescent. He was 18 years old, by the way, misunderstood, here from Mexico. Very proud, and he writes on the blog of the Canadian antigun penalty website about how proud of Mexico he was. But anyway --

GLENN: I bet they are proud of him, too.

GRAY: Of course they are.

GLENN: Sure.

GRAY: And trying to keep him alive desperately, I'll tell you that.

GLENN: Sure.

GRAY: So he and his group of animals were out one night on a gang initiation and these two 15 and 14-year-old -- one was 15, one was 14. They were a little late getting home from a party and they were scared and they tried to cut across TC Jester Park which is not a great area of town and it's down the railroad tracks. They thought they would save 10 minutes on their way home. And unfortunately they stumbled across this gang initiation rite that Jose Medellin and his thugs were performing at the time. And Medellin grabbed them and threw them on the ground and Elizabeth Pena turned around to help her friend, Jennifer Ertman. And then she was grabbed and the horror began for the two of them over the next hour where they were repeatedly raped. They were tortured. They wrapped a belt around their necks and pulled so tight that it broke the belt. Then they took their shoelaces and strangled them. Then just for good measure, they stomped on their throats to crush them to death after having their way with them. So --

GLENN: And I mean, I don't think you need to make this more brutal, but when you say having your way with them, you can't even begin to imagine -- we read this stuff so you don't have to. You can't even imagine how many ways they had their ways with them.

GRAY: Jose, Jose bragged in jail about how the two were virgins, and the story has just been heartbreaking for 15 years.

GLENN: 15 years.

GRAY: Every time it comes back up and Mexico throws some other stall tactic, it puts the families of these two girls through the whole thing all over again, over and over and over. It is the most unbelievable horrific situation I think I've ever encountered.

GLENN: Okay. So you know, I talked to your governor, Rick Perry, when I was down in Dallas. He came to the comedy show and he was standing backstage. Mainly I think the crowd made him afraid a little bit, but he was standing backstage and we were talking before I went on and I said, "Are you gonna make sure this guy's executed?" And he said, you know what, Glenn? He said, "It's not my job to judge, it is not my job to forgive." He said, "That's the Lord's job. The Lord can forgive and the Lord can judge." My job as the governor of Texas is to arrange the meeting between Medellin and Jesus.

GRAY: That's so great.

GLENN: And I said, will you look me in the eye right now and tell me that on your watch you will arrange that meeting, that meeting will happen? And he got out his cell phone and he said, yep, hang on just a second. I'm going to give you the exact date when that meeting's going to happen. And he gave me this date and he said, "This is it and it will happen." Now today Ban Ki-moon, who is the, you know, the leader of the world, the UN.

GRAY: Uh-huh.

GLENN: How would you say that if you were in Nicaragua?

GRAY: (Inaudible).

GLENN: Okay. So anyway, he said that he was --

GRAY: It's hard without the R.

GLENN: Yeah. He said that the United States should obey the decisions of the International Criminal Court and make sure the scheduled execution of a Mexican prisoner in Texas does not take place today. I talked to your governor again last night and he said, "Uh-huh, gonna happen, gonna happen."

GRAY: All systems are go supposedly. And you --

GLENN: If, if Edouard doesn't get in the way.

GRAY: Yes, right. Well, then that's where my baseball bat comes in. But as you notice, our governor is not that popular because of the decisions he's made since the last election.

GLENN: Yes.

GRAY: But this, I've got to take my hat off to him because he's been great on this. He's shown a spine on this and he's doing exactly the right thing.

GLENN: What time is it scheduled for? What time is it scheduled for?

GRAY: 5:30.

GLENN: 5:30, you'll be able to have dinner and go, hey, that execution thing, that was pretty sweet, huh? All right. We will continue -- we'll continue to follow the story and we'll bring you up to speed tonight on TV on this. And also we'll bring you up to speed on tomorrow's broadcast. Will you join us again for that as well tomorrow?

GRAY: Sure.

GLENN: All right. And I just appreciate tomorrow, Pat, if you could, if you could just do it live from Nicaragua.

GRAY: No problem.

'Lord, we are SORRY it has taken us this long': BlazeTV hosts react to historic Roe v. Wade decision

The Supreme Court of the United States officially overturned Roe V. Wade, and the debate over abortion rights has been given back to the states. On this historic day, BlazeTV hosts celebrate the Supreme Court's incredible decision and take a look at some of the insane reactions as the left comes completely undone.

Jason Whitlock: Today will forever stand as a pivotal moment in our nation’s history

The Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade. The decision and the reaction to it have already revealed a lot about our people and politics. Pro-life groups celebrate, pro-choice groups call for “a night of rage,” and Nancy Pelosi just seems completely confused by the United States Constitution.

Glenn Beck reacts LIVE to Roe v. Wade ruling: 'Lord, we are SORRY it has taken us this long'

I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see Roe v. Wade be overturned. But today, that day has come. The Supreme Court has voted 6 to 3 to return decisions about abortion to the states. But this fight isn't over. We are about to see good versus evil side by side. Many states will stand with the unborn. But others will become abortion mills. It's your turn to choose now, America!

Allie Beth Stuckey: 'Praise God, Roe v. Wade is overturned!'

I don't know about you, but I just had the most euphoric feelings. It almost seems too good to be true. I didn't think there was any way that this would actually happen, especially with all the backlash, intimidation, and violence toward the Supreme Court justices. And yet, here we are. Roe v. Wade has been overturned. This is an amazing day!

Dave Rubin: Big disagreement on what happens next now that Roe v. Wade is overturned

Dave Rubin, Libby Emmons, Jeffrey A. Tucker, and David Reaboi debate what will happen in the wake of the Supreme Court’s breaking decision on Roe v. Wade. Now that abortion rights have been pushed back to the states, will there be a summer of massive riots or not? Will the Roe v. Wade ruling make America’s political polarization significantly worse?

Stu Burguiere: Here are the reasons SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade

I never thought this would happen. I never thought I would see this day. I just never ever ever ever never ever believed that Roe v. Wade would actually be overturned. I really didn't. But let's take a look at the reasons this day has finally come ...

The Rick & Bubba Show: 'This is history! Unfortunately we're 60 million lives too late'

We were live on the air when news broke of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Parkland survivor tries to delete 'inciting' tweet about SCOTUS justices — but the internet is forever

Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for WE Day

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned its controversial 1973 Roe v. Wadeopinion, concluding that there is no constitutional right to an abortion.

"The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the syllabus of the decision reads.

As expected, the leftist outrage erupted instantaneously, fueled largely by the misinformed idea that overturning Roe v. Wade means abortion will be banned nationwide. But, as stated in the above-mentioned Supreme Court syllabus, the authority has actually been returned to individual states and their duly elected lawmakers.

One such misinformed leftist, Parkland shooting survivor Cameron Kasky, was infuriated that those awful Supreme Court justices "just voted to kill women." So he took to Twitter to urge people to go to the homes of said Supreme Court justices to "let them know how you feel."

"Go to the home of every Supreme Court justice who just voted to kill women. Let them know how you feel," Kasky tweeted.

The backlash was immediate:

Kasky decided to delete his original tweet because he is apparently "sick of republicans talking to [him]." But, unfortunately for Kasky, the internet is indeed forever:

Speaking from the White House, President Joe Biden dutifully helped spread the misinformation about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and took the opportunity to prompt voters to elect more Democrats in November so that Congress can write abortion protections into law. Did the president just let slip the real reason Congress hasn't made any effort to start writing such laws in the nearly two months since Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion was "leaked" in early May?

Watch Glenn Beck and producer Stu Burguere discuss how Biden's speech reveals that Democrats are absolutely terrified of the upcoming midterm elections. Can't watch? Download the podcast here.

CNN reporter tries to 'ambush' GOP candidate Kari Lake, IMMEDIATELY regrets it

CNN senior national reporter Kyung Lah thought she'd caught Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake off guard when she asked for an impromptu interview outside an event, but ended up sorely regretting her decision.

Lake, a former Fox news anchor, shook hands with Lah as she approached and immediately pointed out that the CNN reporter wasn't wearing a mask any more, a barbed reference to a contentious interview in October 2021, in which Lah smeared the GOP candidate as a “rising star of the right-wing and proud spreader of lies." Lah asked if Lake had “a minute to chat.”

“I’ll do an interview," Lake answered, "as long as it airs on CNN+. Does that still exist? I didn’t think so, because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling, which is propaganda. Thank you.”

Lake then walked into the event, leaving Lah utterly speechless.

It looks like Lake gained quite a few fans on Twitter:

Kari Lake has been a longtime friend to "The Glenn Beck Program." She joined Glenn last August to tell Glenn why she left the corrupt world of media, what prompted her to enter "the even more corrupt world of politics," and how she plans to make a big difference in her battleground state of Arizona.

Hunter's Biden's latest BIZARRE scandal reveals how red-flag laws REALLY work

Photo by Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post via Getty Images

Even if red-flag laws weren't unconstitutional (which they are), they've never been about your safety. They're about your submission, argued Glenn Beck on the radio program. Think of it this way: If red flag laws became the law of the land, do you think President Joe Biden’s son Hunter would lose his guns or face charges for violating the gun laws we already have?

You may have heard that he once "lost" a gun in a dumpster by a school. But there's a whole lot more to the bizarre tale. Newly revealed texts from Hunter's abandoned laptop detail the strange drama that unfolded when Hallie Biden, Hunter's sister-in-law-turned-lover, threw his handgun into a dumpster near a Delaware school in October 2018. The gun was found and turned in to police, but like so many of the Biden family scandals, the chaos created a sandstorm that conveniently helped cover Hunter's tracks. Only tidbits of information have emerged, the most significant of which is that the gun in question was purchased by Hunter illegally and, of course, no charges were filed as a result.

Glenn broke down the details of the most recently revealed Hunter Biden scandal, noting in particular that no charges or arrests were ever made as a result.

"If you voted for Joe Biden and you believe in all of these red-flag laws, then why isn't Hunter Biden in jail today?" Glenn asked.

"You and I both know that the ramifications of Hunter Biden's activities and his tragic saga go well beyond Hunter Biden, because they are teaching people a lesson. We are moving towards a society that has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts. They tell us they know better. They tell us that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous, while ignoring the dangers in their own lives or in their own families ... We saw it during COVID-19 and we will see it again with gun regulations, 'The rules are for thee and not for me.' This is why Americans cannot give an inch, not one inch of our liberty away on the grounds of the government's good faith. They have no good faith left. They have violated every single principle of liberty and they've done it in a name of they know better," he said.

"Don't be fooled," Glenn added. "Just as we saw during COVID-19, just as we saw with the Patriot Act that is now being horribly abused by the people in power that swore they'd never abuse it, red-flags are not about your safety. Period. They are about your submission."
