What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Great show for you today. It is Monday. We talk about patriotism because of all the crap that's going on in this article that I read from The New Yorker. No offense, the guy just doesn't get it. And I understand that, the way he was raised, etc., etc. And speaking of that way he was raised, you want to understand who James Talrico is and what he actually believes. You have to know how he was raised, what his mother, how his mother raised him, what they went through when he was a child. And you will know exactly who he is. Also, we spoke with Alex Adams today about foster care. He is with the administration, what's going on there, and an update on Iran that is really important for you to be all on today's podcast.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Democratic Party trying to paint themselves as, I don't know what. I don't know what. We're going to talk about patriotism here a little while because we got lectured by patriotism. I couldn't get further down on this story from the New Yorker than just his sources of who he's going to. I just looked into some great people that talk about patriotism. Really? Really? Because those aren't the sources that I would go to for patriotism. But maybe it's just me.
Who is James Talarico and what are his political views?
I want to get into that. Because everything is being redefined right now. Patriotism this summer because of the summer of 250. You know... We have to redefine this now. What is it? What does it mean? Well, let's start at something simpler. What does it mean to be a Democrat? I'm not sure exactly what it means to be a Democrat. It certainly does not mean moderate. That's for sure. James Tallarico is being painted by the Democrats as moderate. You know, he's just like any other Texan. You saw him in his T-shirt, right?
What insights does Alex Adams provide about foster care reform?
He was wearing red, white, and blue, and he's got his Texas flag shirt, and he's eating a turkey leg, and he wears cowboy boots. Come on. Really? Really? Is that what we're down to? Yeah, and I know who you are because you wear a red hat. Even though it doesn't say mag on it, I know what all red hats mean. What? What does a red hat mean? Simpletons. How dare Ken Paxton take this poor man, James Delrico, his words out of context. He's not a radical leftist. Right, right. Neither is anybody in Virginia. So I asked my researchers, you know, can we look at these claims? Because I want to see, you know, I want to be able to present to you who James Talrico really is in his own words, okay? Now, earlier this month, he said to CBS News about his past statements and Paxton's attacks.
He said this.
There are some statements that I've made that I certainly regret. There are statements that I've made where I've missed the mark. I'll be the first to admit that. But Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption.
Okay, cringey comments. Okay, first of all, let's give credit where credit's due. Anybody makes mistakes. We all make mistakes. And to be able to say, hey, I've made mistakes, and I own up to them. Unfortunately, what he didn't say was which were the mistakes and which were the cringey comments that Paxton is taking out of context. So let's start. One of the biggest criticisms of Tallarico is that he believes God is non-binary. Now, we're in Bible country. Not really. Not really. I don't think so. Pretty radical. A lot of people on X are sharing a short clip of him making that claim on the floor of the Texas Senate or legislature. But was that taken out of context? Of course it was. Of course it was. So let's look at the longer clip so we can all see.
Here it is. The first two lines in Genesis use two different Hebrew words to describe God. One is the masculine Hebrew noun for divinity. The second is the feminine Hebrew noun for spirit. God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary. In Genesis 1.26, God speaks of God's self in the plural saying, let us make human beings in our image to be like us. That's the infinite multitude of God, the masculine, the feminine, and everything in between.
