WATCH: 10 Times “Tampon Tim” Walz Told Us EXACTLY Who He Is

The media is trying to paint Kamala Harris’ VP pick Tim Walz as a lovable, folksy “midwestern dad.” But Glenn dug through the archives to find who Walz actually is. Glenn reviews 10 moments from Walz’s time as governor of Minnesota that prove he’s a radical socialist: He joked about investing in a “ladder factory” in response to Trump’s wall, he wants to protect trans kids’ “right” to genital mutilation, he had more COVID-19 nursing home deaths than Andrew Cuomo, he told Minnesotans to rat out their neighbors, he praised socialism as “neighborliness,” he wants no gas cars in Minnesota by 2035, his bathroom policies have garnered him the nickname “Tampon Tim,” he said it’s “ageism” to question Biden’s age, he denied shutting down schools, and he has no problem becoming a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants.

GLENN: Joining me today, is Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Pat, I listened to your show today. And Chewing the Fat with Jeffy. And you guys were on quite a roll with Tim Walz. You like him about as much as I do.

PAT: Oh, man!

Hmm. He's quickly risen to the top of my list of people that I dislike with a very intense disliking.

GLENN: Sure. What do you mean? You don't like -- I didn't get that impression from you, earlier at all.

PAT: I was a little subtle. Maybe I was too settle.

GLENN: Maybe.

PAT: Because I mentioned I disliked him with all the intensity of a trillion white hot suns.

Maybe that's not enough.

GLENN: I'm not sure what you were saying with that.

Now, could it be.

Could it be because he says things like this.

Cut 11, please. Here's Tim Walz.

VOICE: And I think seeing a plan that's out there, talking about it with folks. Knowing, that he's not going to do thinking.

He talks about this wall. I always say, let me know how high it is? 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory. That's not how you stop this.

PAT: Oh, jeez.

GLENN: Huh.

Is it because of stuff like that?

PAT: Yeah, it's stuff like that. And worse, actually. Stuff like that, and worse.

GLENN: Here's cut ten. Could it be this?

PAT: Uh-huh.

VOICE: And what we want to say, we're there to protect children. We're there to understand, in Minnesota, you're going to be protected. I want to be clear. I will never understand what goes into the thinking of these folks, to bully these children. They're not impacting them in one bit. And making it a living hell for children, for families, for adults. For folks just trying to bring themselves in.

So in Minnesota, we're making it very clear. We're not going to cooperate with these folks. We're not going to extradite people. We're going to say that this a place where you can come and make these decisions. I'm -- this is -- the community, the trans community is -- is as terrified as they've ever been. We've seen attacks across the nation, even here in Minnesota. And we're -- we're now saying, we have to be much more proactive.

We have to be much more aggressive about making sure folks are protected.

PAT: Yeah. Folks are protected in getting their noodles cut off. That kind of thing.

GLENN: Children are protected. Children have a right to have their noodles cut off. Or their breasts removed.

PAT: If they're six and don't feel comfortable. Cut off their noodle. Who am I?

Not nobody.

GLENN: Yeah. Who are you? What kind of monitor have you become? You know, I mean, it's really -- it's really, really bad.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: He's also -- you know, he was big on COVID. He was --

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Well, when I say he was big on that. He had more nursing home deaths in his state, than they had in New York. Under Cuomo.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: So, but he was -- it wasn't that he was a total dictator. It was just that he was a total authoritarian.

And locked everything down. But he went the extra mile. Here he is. Cut 28, now.

Here he is on -- on a new way, to be neighborly.
(music)

VOICE: Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety, stay-at-home hotline. The information you leave is considered public information. At the tone, please leave the following information. Your name, your callback number. How the stay-at-home order is being violated. And where the stay-at-home order was violated.

Thank you.

VOICE: Record your message at the tone. When you're finished, hang up and press pound for more options.

PAT: And that's, of course --

GLENN: So congratulations.

PAT: That's where you snitch on your neighbor. Hey, I just saw my neighbor pull out of their driveway. They're going somewhere. I think you need send a S.W.A.T. team right now. Please, because they left their house. They left their house.

GLENN: That's just being neighborly, isn't it?

PAT: That's all that is.

GLENN: It's just being a good neighbor. Here's cut 29.

PAT: But we can get out there, reach out, make the case. And for one thing, don't ever shy away from our progressive values.

One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.

GLENN: Amen. Amen. Amen.

Now, they just don't understand how the left wants, you know, freedom.

And the right is just trying to take rights away.

You know, like they're not taking rights away H.W. Bush they want to take your guns.

They're not taking rights away, when they lock you in your house. And tell you, you can't go anywhere.

They're not taking any rights away. When they're saying, you have to inject this into your body.

They're not taking any rights away at all.

In fact, it's just good neighborly stuff. To be able to snitch on your neighbor.

That's so American. So folksy.

PAT: It is.

GLENN: So folksy. And not weird, I'll tell you that.

Not weird at all.

PAT: And when they tell you, that you shouldn't be driving SUVs. That doesn't -- that doesn't limit your choices on what you can drive.

Not at all.

GLENN: No. He's not taking away your right at all.

PAT: No. No.

GLENN: He's just saying, that there will be no gasoline cars in the state of -- by 35. That's all he's saying.

PAT: So is that a bad thing?

GLENN: In ten years, nobody is driving gasoline cars. Because he's also not taking your right away. He's not. He's definitely not when he says, we're going to shut down the oil industry. Giving you all kinds of choices. You can have solar panels. Or you can have, you know, wind-powered electricity.

PAT: There's two choices right there. What do you want?

GLENN: How many choices do you need, do you know what I mean? Man, it's just so crazy what people are saying about him. Now, so he's -- I would like to call him the name that people call him in the state occasionally, and that's Tampon Tim.

Which I think is very dignified, and shows what he's for, and that is: Tampons in boy's restrooms. You know, he -- you know, who are you to say, you shouldn't have -- you should use the restroom, you know, designated for the sex you were born with. That is so bigoted. So weird.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: So weird. This is folksy. You know, you have your boy, go in, and shove a tampon, up where he's bleeding.

That's normal!

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Hello!

PAT: If that's not Middle America, I don't know what is.

GLENN: No. No. And as he said, one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. And, you know, when I think of a good neighbor, I think of Stalin. I think of Mao.

PAT: Yeah! Yeah.

GLENN: I think of the good neighbors that were turning Jews in, you know, in Germany.

I think of those neighbors. They were neighborly. National Socialist Party! Yeah, in Germany.

So it is -- it is. Some people would say, that's socialism, you know, where you rat on a neighbor.

Hey, there's a Jew living next door.

And other people just think that that's -- that's just neighborly. You know, that's not socialism.

It's just neighborly. And I love it.

He's also a man of truth.

If you look at cut 12 here, he was telling you the truth here the whole time. He was way ahead of the curve. Listen.

VOICE: I've spent a lot of time with the president. And he's great. We're chatting and talking. And I think we all get a little older. That's what happens.

But you also gain that insight, and I think, when it comes to those issues. Working across the aisle to get things done, you see the president just doing this with dignity, doing it with class. Getting up every day.

Doing the work. So I think he's just doing what he does, and I think it's incumbent upon all of us -- look, my mom is 88, still living on the farm, drives herself.

PAT: Is she the president though?

VOICE: Folks are able to do this. So I think this little bit of ageism that goes to this, if it's not that, it would be something else. They attack all of us on something. This is part of it.

PAT: That's right. That's all.

GLENN: Yeah. Absolutely. How folksy of him.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: He's not lying there. He's just being folksy. He's just telling a story.

And it turns out, that he was absolutely right. He's totally just like his mom, able to drive his car. You know, Tim, I want you -- when you get to Washington, you're not going to need a car. Because you'll have Secret Service driving you everywhere. Why don't you just hand the could you see over to Joe, of your car. And tell them just to -- hey. Joe.

Why don't you just take it. Park it in the garage. Around the corner.

You're going to be fine.

Because I don't think. You know, his mom could drive a car.

PAT: Sure. Yeah. She's 88.

That's older than Joe. She's 88. Now, she's not running the country.

GLENN: Exactly right.

PAT: But I'm sure she has just as important a position. And it doesn't -- it doesn't mess her up at all, getting old.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you, that there's a couple of other things that I think are really, really good. There -- Minnesota, there's room in the inn.

And in fact, let me just -- let me just play Tampon Tim here, on sanctuary cities.

Cut 13, please.

VOICE: Could you have done the schools differently. I think lots of parents are upset about what happened with the schools. Do you think you could have made any other choice.

VOICE: Well, just to be clear. 80 percent of our students miss less than 10 days of in-class learning. The vast majority of students were in. It depended again on population density. Many of these positions were being made by local folks, to be able to do what was necessary to keep them there.

I think again, in hindsight, if we could have known, that we would get vaccinations out as quickly as possible.

We prioritized teachers and the staff in school to get there. We're doing it differently now.

And since, May of 2021, almost every one of our students has been in, the entire time, and been doing that.

So I think with hindsight, at 2020, perhaps we could have tailored a little bit careers than that.

The fact of the matter, making the case that we couldn't have done anything, is simply wrong.

GLENN: Yeah. Simply wrong. By the way, that was about him shutting down all of the schools, which apparently never happened, Pat.

Never happened. Let's go to cut 13, please.

And that's --

VOICE: If the definition of that is that the federal government enforces immigration law, and local laughter, enforces local law. Then yes.

VOICE: Should cities be allowed to be sanctuary cities?

VOICE: Yes. Local control.

GLENN: Local control. Local control.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: I mean, he's not for local control on anything else. But when it comes to sanctuary cities. As he said, there is -- there is room in the inn, you know, for more Somalis and everything else.

And he has taken -- I will give you just a little track record, when we come back here, on Tim.

Because he has taken the state of Minnesota. And just, I mean, it's just taken off.

It's an entirely new state to him.

PAT: It's a rocket ride to the moon. With Tim Walz.

GLENN: You know, I think, Pat. Now, you can disagree with me.

But I think you put a team together, like Kamala Harris.

From California.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And bring in those California things right to America.

And then tampon Tim's Minnesota -- what he's done to that state.

My gosh. I mean, America is fixed.

PAT: Imagine kind of on a nationwide kale.

GLENN: Yeah. My dog is fixed as well. But it's going to be -- it's going to be fantastic.

GLENN: Now, J.D. Vance is weird.

Because he went to Yale.

And, you know, Walz said, look, I grew up in a small town, and its small town values.

And he said, yeah. J.D. Vance grew up in a small town, but he eventually attended Yale Law School. J.D. Vance talks about this in Hillbilly Elegy.

None of my hillbilly cousins went to Yale. Yeah, maybe because your hillbilly cousins either don't have the aptitude or the interest to go to Yale.

I mean, Yale is really not for everybody. You know, not everybody has to go to Yale. In fact, a lot of people would really hate Yale. I for one, went to Yale. And hate Yale. But gosh darn it, I just -- I won't give any money to Yale.

Why not?

Man, I'm weird. Anyway, J.D. Vance worked hard. That's something called meritocracy. And that doesn't happen in socialist countries.

No. Everybody has an equal outcome. Everyone is equally miserable. Well, I shouldn't say that.

Except for the people at the very top. They tend to get very, very rich and powerful. And not so folksy. You know, not quite so folksy.

So J.D. Vance just doesn't know anything about small-town America.

Because, you know, he went to Yale, after his.

Yeah. Yeah. He did. He earned a scholarship

Because he decided to work hard. He made that choice. You should watch the video or read the book. It's really interesting. Tampon Tim.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
