Summary

Hour 1Pat and Stu wonder if they’ll be able to trust the GOP and President Trump not to back down on “red flag laws." The Democrats haven’t learned a single thing over the past two years, and it could well cost them the 2020 election. The president said he would rather take firearms first and go through due process second, but he’ll probably change his stance shortly. Only a small number of people with a diagnosed mental illness are more likely to commit acts of violence. MSNBC and CNN are even more unhinged than usual, from an outlandish claim about today’s date and neo-Nazis to baiting the NRA into attending a pro-gun control spectacle. It's super easy for an organization to take credit for a boycott taking a host off the air (even if they're merely on vacation).Hour 2The convention of Democratic Socialists wasn’t cringeworthy for the socialism as much as for the over-sensitivity of those in attendance. Some Millennials make great employees, but some leave something significant to be desired. Pat and Stu have a good laugh (and maybe a cry) over a twenty-something employee who was incredibly offended by being told that there is no "p" in “hamster.” Even Democrats are urging the president not to support “red flag laws," though for nefarious reasons. A Harvard professor takes on Sen. Ted Cruz over tech giants manipulating voters during the 2016 campaign.Hour 3Why have the Democrats completely abandoned the (very electable) pro-life and pro-gun rights positions? Simple anti-gun measures like universal background checks poll well, and you don’t need to fight hard for them. Chris Cuomo’s CNN rant continued with him simply saying that it was dumb not to adopt his stance on gun control. The Democrats are running an entire campaign on a lot of the things that were included in the suspected El Paso killer’s manifesto. Some Republicans are going so far as to support a ban on “military-style weapons.” Jeff Fisher joins the program to chew the fat. Here’s your reminder that Colin Kaepernick is not out of the NFL because of his political stance; he’s unemployed because he’s a lousy quarterback. Artificial diamonds? Great. Artificial burgers? Almost great. Stu provides the latest update on the Democratic field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glendale Program.

0:08.0

With patents to for Glenn, who will return on Monday. Triple eight, 727, B-E-C-K. Wow, there was...

0:20.0

So much insanity going on. I don't know if it starts with the CNN Town Hall last night or with Cory Booker or

0:32.5

they're just so much where do you even begin? I love how nothing that the Republicans, even though the Republicans are bending over backward right now and

0:44.0

many of them caving in to gun control mindset. That's not enough. Nothing's enough. Nothing's ever enough.

0:52.0

This is why you don't cave in because it won't be enough. It will never be enough. We're seeing this now Chuck Schumer. He's warning the GOP against

1:03.0

settling for tepid red flag laws. So the red flag law thing, which is completely controversial to conservatives, is a massive move to the left.

1:12.0

It is a constitutional violation. It is a... The type of thing that we took calls all day yesterday, all day yesterday from people who love Donald Trump and are like, don't cross this line. Please don't cross this line. This is really, really bad.

1:25.0

I talked to David Harris Jr. And David Harris Jr. is... It's a pretty maga guy. You know, big, big Trump supporter. He's not quite as pro Trump as Donald Trump, but he is more pro Trump than Donald Trump Jr.

1:41.0

He's in between those two. David's great. I love him. But he's like a big Trump guy. And he said yesterday, same thing on his social feats. They said, look, we love Donald Trump. He's done a great job. Don't cross this line. It's too big of a deal.

1:57.0

I don't... And I think this comes to the core of Donald Trump, who's a guy who's... He's lived in New York as a rich guy behind security. In that environment, I was born in New York. I grew up partially in New York, partially in Connecticut.

2:14.0

In that region, it's just not part of your life. You don't think about guns all that often. Especially if you're Donald Trump living in the top of a tower. It's the last thing in the world you're concerned about. It's not part of your core. You don't see the Second Amendment the same way probably.

2:28.0

And so I don't know that he would understand what a big deal this would be to someone who really cares about the Second Amendment. And we heard it like crazy yesterday.

2:37.0

I mean, I think there was one caller yesterday who said, I really like what he's... I understand at least he's trying to address mental health. What do you think is, of course, true.

2:46.0

But already the Democrats are saying, look, that's not enough. You can't just give us this. This is what's so frustrating about being conservative.

2:56.0

And having the only real representative for you being the Republican party. Because they are constantly folding on these things. They're terrible.

3:05.0

And they just do stuff like, well, you know what? The Democrats want $700 billion for this project. We only want to give them $400 billion.

3:13.0

And you're like, well, yeah, but what about the one? What about the option of not doing it? And there's no one who represents that side of these issues.

3:22.0

What about the option of spending less? Yeah, that doesn't exist. It's impossible. It's impossible.

3:28.0

Actually, I have a Republican Congressman from Ohio, Michael Turner, who's actually talking about not just the Red Flag laws, but also a limit on the, you know, the magazine limits.

3:40.0

Yep. And a ban on assault weapons.

3:44.0

Assault assault. Yes. Because they assault people. That one is really fascinating to me because obviously, you know, every weapon is an assault weapon.
