GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
GLENN: Here's
something else that probably, probably won't get a lot of
coverage and that is the students that are all around the
country now in colleges that are wearing empty holsters on
their waists. They're wearing empty holsters in protest that
they're not allowed to carry guns on campus. I warn you
guys, it's going to make you a target. I mean, oh, you're
the evil hatemonger with the empty holster.
And Rudy Giuliani, just to let you know, he is so okay with
your Second Amendment that he told a town hall meeting in
Northwestern New Hampshire that you don't have to worry; you
have a constitutional right; it is protected and bear and
carry arms; it's the Second Amendment. If somebody disagrees
with that, you have to get the Constitution changed.
It was actually, it was actually a question asked by a
former police officer who is no longer a police officer
because he was wounded in the line of duty and he's blind.
Now, I'm a pretty big gun guy. I love the Second Amendment,
but I'm pretty sure that if you're blind, you probably
shouldn't have a gun. Just, I'm not -- you can convince me
the other way. Let me go to Mountain Man Adam. Adam, biggest
Second Amendment guy I know. Blind people, and I'm not
talking about, well, I can't really drive at night. I mean
blind people. Guns?
ADAM: Well, I think they have a right to own guns. I think
that it falls to responsible use of guns.
GLENN: Okay, here. You have a right to own guns and you want
to shoot somebody in your own house? I guess, I mean, you
know, I can't take your right away to own a firearm in your
own house, but you certainly are not going to get a right to
carry it around in the streets. I mean, how are you --
you're blind.
ADAM: Yeah. And I think that again that falls with the
responsible ownership. There are shooting sports for blind
people where they actually shoot targets and they have a set
of eyes so they can enjoy the sport.
GLENN: "Target over here, target over here, target over
here. I mean, I don't think if somebody is going to do --
unless they have really squeaky shoes, if you're blind, you
could probably move around. You know what I mean? Move?
Maybe -- I mean, I'm just saying. As a blanket statement, as
a blanket statement. I'm sure --
STU: Glenn, I didn't know that we -- I was reading the
Constitution today. I didn't see the part that we take the
constitutional rights away for disabilities. I didn't --
GLENN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Do you have a -- first of all,
you don't have a right -- I want to make sure this is clear.
You don't have a right, you know, it's not in the
Constitution that you can drive a car, but we don't give
blind people driver's license.
STU: Yeah, you're right.
GLENN: There's some things that you can't do.
STU: You are right, it's not a constitutionally guaranteed
right. So that wouldn't apply here. I'm just saying if you
want to take it away --
GLENN: Hang on. Let's take a vote.
STU: People with ADD shouldn't have -- let's just pick the
ailment and decide what right you lose with that ailment.
GLENN: Hang on just a second. Adam, you're blind. Should you
have a concealed weapon permit? Should you be able to walk
around with a gun? You're blind.
ADAM: No. Again I think that goes to responsible gun
ownership and in order to have a concealed weapons permit,
you have to qualify for it.
GLENN: If there's anybody --
STU: You qualify for it. Is that Thomas Jefferson?
GLENN: If there's anybody that -- you're telling me so you
are for blind people having guns?
STU: No, I'm just trying to piss you off.
GLENN: All right, good. Dan, we should do a freak jury on
this. Let's open up the lines. Are you for blind people --
again, if you're blind, you live in your house, I'm going to
-- I'm not going to stop you from owning a gun in your
house. Are you for that, Stu?
STU: I have no idea. Because I mean, in all seriousness, you
know, I'm not really making that argument. Like, it doesn't
seem sensible to me for blind people to have guns because
you can see what you're shooting at. That's the --
GLENN: Blind people can -- you know, people, they can hear
things and get in the general range. But you don't -- I
mean, you don't know who's behind you, around there. Also
you don't -- I mean, you've got to be able to have eyes.
STU: If it's in the Constitution, a guaranteed right to
arms, you're able to arm yourself.
GLENN: Isn't this going to the common sense part of things?
STU: If they want to give it up --
GLENN: You just say, I mean, how about if I say I could put
a talking device into a car that would be able to help
people drive so they know where they are all the time, would
you say, yeah, go ahead; Mr. Blind guy, go ahead, get behind
the wheel of the car?
VOICE: And now, more solutions for the blind. Product Number
7, a car for the blind. (Car revving up) Computer: You're
driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement, you're
driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement, you're
driving on pavement, you're driving on the white line,
you're driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement,
you're driving on pavement, you're driving on the sidewalk,
you're driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement,
you're driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement
(crash), you're driving in the shopping mall, you're driving
in the shopping mall, you're driving in the shopping mall,
you're driving in the shopping mall (crash). (Car revving.)
You're driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement,
you're driving on pavement, you're driving on pavement.
(Crash). That was a school bus.
This has been solutions for the blind on the Glenn Beck
program.

GLENN: Wait a minute. In Texas?
STU: I don't -- I'm reading it right now. We're going now,
you know, looking around for blind gun stories and there's
one at least from December of last year where there's a
representative from Texas who is introducing an amendment
that would allow blind people to hunt game using laser
sights. So like, the person standing next to you go, now!
Like when the laser sight --
GLENN: See, hunting game is different.
STU: I mean, I don't --
GLENN: Hunting game is different. We're talking about --
we're talking about Rudy Giuliani, a guy who only okayed,
like, 750 concealed weapons permits for the entire city of
New York City, okay? Only 750 people were allowed to carry
guns under Rudy Giuliani in a city of, what, 18 million?
He's in New Hampshire and he says no one has a right to tell
you you can't carry a gun to a blind guy! We're not talking
about owning a gun. We're not talking about going hunting
with a gun. We're talking about a concealed weapons permit
so blind people can carry guns on the street. Rudy, what --
who are you? What happened?
