Glenn Beck talks about the migrant caravan heading toward the southern border, what it means for the future of the border patrol, and why we should be worried about the numbers coming up to the border. He also talks about why women should be wearing a headscarf.
00:02:04.420He's the greatest governor in the country.
00:02:07.320Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, joined us.
00:02:09.680He talks a little bit about the Trump event that happened in Houston and why conservatives should not take that necessarily as a good sign.
00:02:21.180Oh, Cruz and the Republicans are all doing great.
00:02:25.020The numbers of the election, which he talks about a little bit and Stu has with election by the numbers, are a little concerning when it comes to Texas.
00:02:39.160Historic voting numbers already in Texas.
00:02:43.520And the only ones we see are the very blue counties.
00:02:47.300And they are presidential election style numbers.
00:02:52.140And we should also point out there's a really serious warning.
00:02:54.900If you are a woman or you know a woman, someone important to you, if you're not wearing a headscarf or a cloth device, there are some serious warnings coming from the Middle East.
00:10:21.040Have you ever gone to a McDonald's as you're traveling across the country and a tour bus has just pulled in and that has 50 people in and you're like, oh, geez.
00:10:31.320You ain't going to the bathroom there.
00:10:33.020If 7,500 people roll into town, where are all the bathrooms that they're using?
00:13:02.560What are you, what are we talking about?
00:13:05.860Well, if there are 7,500 people and they want to go into a small town and rob every single restaurant, truck stop, bank, because there's 7,500 of them and there's not enough police in these small towns, are we just going to let them take all of the money?
00:13:24.400Or do we say, no, this is a mob, this is a group of 7,500 people who are stating they are going to break the law and they've already done it and they're just crossing in and overwhelming.
00:13:44.140We would never let anybody do that to any other thing.
00:13:47.880Why would we allow them into our country?
00:13:49.840We wouldn't let them into our towns just to, just to take over our towns.
00:13:56.420We would, we would never allow this to happen.
00:13:59.960Can you imagine, have you seen just the waste and the garbage left behind?
00:14:58.180Their, their Marxist government, which was in bed with the Castros in Cuba and Maduro in Venezuela, they were ousted in a coup because they were destroying the country.
00:17:45.660If this was going to Canada and they were protesting Canada, I think there would be a lot of people that said, just don't cause any trouble.
00:19:35.640For your listeners, what we are seeing with regard to the turnout is smashing records,
00:19:40.980not just for midterm elections, which is what this is, but in many of these locations,
00:19:46.260the first day of voting exceeds the amount of votes that took place in the presidential election on the very first day.
00:19:52.940And so all we know is this, and that is a massive number of people are turning out to vote.
00:19:58.580We don't know if it's part of Fetomania or if it's conservatives who are saying we are afraid of this caravan that's coming up here
00:20:04.720and we want to make sure we elect people who are going to do something to stop it.
00:20:07.660But here's all I can tell your audience, and that is, if you care about the future of Texas,
00:20:12.220if you care about the future of America, you cannot sit on the sidelines this election year
00:20:17.480because there are other people out there who are casting those who may be hostile to you and your values.
00:20:23.760Your values must be counted at the ballot box.
00:20:26.980If you're listening to this, you need to make sure you go vote because a lot of other people are going to vote.
00:20:33.200So, Governor, a lot of times people have said, you know, that's the most important election of your life.
00:20:37.580And I was thinking about this last night. I've always hated that phrase.
00:20:41.700But in this particular case, we are now seeing the masks come off.
00:20:46.860Now we're seeing people who say, you know, no to capitalism, no to the Constitution.
00:20:51.980I'm a democratic socialist. This is a game-changing election, is it not?
00:21:01.560Well, you captured the essence very correctly because it used to be here in Texas and maybe some other places
00:21:07.700that Democrats either ran under no label or they would call themselves a conservative Democrat.
00:21:14.120And then they were a liberal. And then they were a progressive.
00:21:16.620And now they are openly listing themselves as socialists.
00:21:20.840And get this, because it's not just in Texas, the leading candidate for governor in Florida is an out-and-out.
00:21:27.220He says he is a socialist in the Bernie Sanders style of socialism, if not even further to the left.
00:21:32.800And the same thing is happening with regard to governor's races and other key races across the entire United States of America.
00:21:37.720And even here in Texas, some people may not be calling themselves a socialist, but when you look at their policies, such as the open border policies, that is socialism.
00:21:47.640When you look at the wealth redistribution policies, that is socialism.
00:21:51.700And here's what these people don't realize, and that is socialism is real out there.
00:21:55.800We see it in Venezuela, where the reported inflation rate in Venezuela is over a million percent.
00:22:01.720And so it's just crazy what's going on, and that is why your listeners need to understand that they have the power to make sure the state and this country remain on the right track by going to vote.
00:22:18.300Conservatives understand how close this state is to flipping blue.
00:22:23.340There's only a few counties that are really a linchpin here.
00:22:28.000And, you know, unbeknownst to most people, Soros has dumped millions of dollars into this state for a long-term plan of turning us into California.
00:22:42.320Well, you're right, and so many of your listeners need to understand this, and that is that George Soros has been involved in Texas elections for the past couple of cycles.
00:22:50.760Two years ago, he gave a half a million dollars directly to a candidate in Harris County down in Houston.
00:22:56.800This year, he gave a million dollars directly to a candidate in San Antonio.
00:23:01.720On top of that, he has funded these ground games to get out the vote.
00:23:05.800And so he is trying to turn Texas into California, and that's on top of all this money pouring in from California for candidates like Beto.
00:23:13.940But let's go back to the first part of your question, and listeners, think about this.
00:23:18.100All of the large cities where the population bases are in the state of Texas are really blue cities and blue counties.
00:23:25.060You have Dallas, you have Houston, you have San Antonio, you have Austin, you have El Paso.
00:23:29.980And so these massive blue regions across the state of Texas, that makes it so much harder for people who are conservative, people who are Republican to be able to cobble together the votes that are needed to make sure that we keep Texas the bastion of freedom, the bastion of liberty, and the bastion of conservatism.
00:23:49.380And so every vote counts, and we really need to get people excited and enthusiastic about this the same way they were last night when we were in Houston, Texas.
00:23:58.740I'll tell you what, people are fired up and they are ready, but we need people to go vote.
00:24:02.020Tell me a little bit about the caravan.
00:24:06.780Do we have any idea other than the political leanings of this group when it was back in Honduras?
00:24:18.020Do we have any idea just the logistics?
00:24:21.640Who is behind this and what we're prepared to do?
00:24:28.100I've had the opportunity to speak with both the Secretary of Homeland Security as well as the President about this.
00:24:34.080And I can tell you what I can tell you publicly, and that is if you think these are people who are leaving Honduras or Guatemala or wherever they're coming from just trying to escape violence and come seek asylum, that is incorrect.
00:24:53.040There are others who are behind this, and very importantly, in this caravan are not just people from Honduras and Guatemala.
00:25:01.800We know that some of the leaders of it are involved in MS-13.
00:25:05.300We know that some of the people in it are from countries across the entire globe.
00:25:10.580They are what we use in the lingo, SIAs, which are special interest aliens who pose a very real dangerous threat to the security of the United States of America,
00:26:52.460And that is, this may be 2,000 or 3,000 or 5,000 people.
00:26:55.560But if they make it in, right behind them will be a caravan of 20,000 people.
00:27:00.060Right behind them will be a caravan of 50,000 people.
00:27:02.720And the United States of America, as we know it, will be forever altered if we don't do something to stop this.
00:27:09.120You know the press is going to treat us like the Israelis and the caravan like the Palestinians.
00:27:15.760Is the president leaning on the president of Mexico and threatening to cut off all – I mean, I think this is the time to really lean hard and say this is not our problem.
00:27:28.960Turn them around or we'll cut off all aid with Mexico.
00:28:21.440No invasion plans of the United States with the former Soviet Union ever included Texas because they knew Texans would not take kindly to the invasion force.
00:28:32.620Are they headed towards Texas or California?
00:28:35.820I will tell you what was reported publicly last night, and I will not dispute it.
00:28:40.800And that is, early on, before yesterday, there was great concern that they were headed for Texas.
00:28:47.880And it was reported last night that they are headed toward California.
00:28:52.320Now, that makes sense because, as you know, California is a sanctuary state.
00:28:57.500And they would welcome this caravan and 10 more caravans like it.
00:29:02.360And these caravan members and the leaders of this caravan, they understand one thing, and that is, if they try to breach the gates in Texas, we're not going to tolerate it.
00:29:11.440And we're going to be very, you know, protective of our sovereignty here.
00:29:15.540And so I can't tell you for certainty right now where they are going.
00:29:19.500I can tell you what was said and what makes sense, and that is they may be headed to California.
00:29:52.180Well, listen, all these races are closer than what people realize, and it's because we need to understand that the liberals or socialists, whatever you want to call them these days, they've galvanized their forces, and they're putting out their vote early.
00:30:09.200And so it's too hard to tell right now.
00:30:11.520And because they are so close, I am going across the entire state of Texas campaigning every single day in multiple cities to help Republicans up and down the ballot to make sure that we are going to have policies that are antagonistic to open borders, to make sure we have policies that cut your taxes, that cut your regulations, that improve our schools.
00:30:33.900And so it's very important that people turn out, they vote.
00:30:38.720Your listeners have a lot at stake in their own personal lives based upon what's going to happen in this election.
00:30:44.440And every vote is going to matter because the voter turnout is at skyrocket levels right now.
00:30:48.740And if you're listening and you have not voted, you need to go vote because your future is at stake.
00:30:54.080But today, for example, when we hang up, I'm headed to Belton to go campaign for some people there.
00:31:00.140I'm going to be in Dallas County later on today.
00:31:02.840I'm going to be in Denton County later on in the week and in Tarrant County.
00:31:06.820So I'm going to be spending a lot of time in North Texas and in South Texas, East Texas and West Texas to make sure that we win these elections from the top of the ballot to the bottom of the ballot.
00:41:02.480Well, you were on the front lines of this really in the very beginning because it was this slow drip, right?
00:41:07.620There was a couple of insiders who worked for these tech companies who came out and said, we're doing this.
00:41:12.260But the first big story was the Facebook trending column on the side where the employees came out and said, we're suppressing conservative articles.
00:41:20.460We're suppressing articles from the blaze.
00:41:22.380And I know you went and met with Zuckerberg, as did a lot of other conservative media publishers.
00:41:27.040But since then, it's just gotten even worse.
00:41:30.920Zuckerberg, I'm still convinced that there, it doesn't take a coordinated effort in these places.
00:41:40.340It just takes a few well-placed engineers that have an ax to grind, and they're just changing a little algorithm here, a little algorithm here, based on what they feel.
00:42:04.460But then you compound all of this with, you know, 95% of the political donations coming from Google and Facebook are going to Democratic candidates.
00:42:29.380So what we wanted to do with the app is figure out a way that we can aggregate this great conservative video content into one place.
00:42:36.760And really, it's working with publishers to say, hey, let us take, you know, your video content from your YouTube page or from your Facebook page and aggregate it into one place.
00:42:46.820And really, let's band together so that when the Blaze promotes something, PragerU and conservative review and Breitbart benefits.
00:42:54.140And likewise, when they share something, you guys benefit.
00:42:56.740So it's really, the app is, it's going to come out later this week on Google Play and the App Store, but it's a 21st century version of Drudge Report.
00:43:07.660It is for conservative video content that's out there, that's being pushed to the side and hidden by these tech companies.
00:43:15.460What platform are you keeping it all on?
00:43:17.880What do you, what do you, I mean, you're going to Google Play.
00:43:20.640I mean, you're going right into the hands of the beast.
00:43:23.220What are you doing to ensure that they, they aren't screwing with you and gathering information on everybody else?
00:43:33.260Well, what we were trying to do, because I've heard a lot of people on our side say, we need a conservative Facebook or we need a conservative Twitter.
00:43:38.660So what we were trying to do is find a realistic workaround to the algorithm problem that's going on with suppressing conservative content.
00:43:46.760So we said, you know, if we can find all these great conservative publishers and say, hey, here's what we want to do.
00:43:51.780We can all benefit from this by sharing content into one place.
00:43:55.340On the video side, everyone can benefit.
00:43:57.080So, yeah, we will be at the mercy of Google Play and the Apple Store.
00:44:02.040But I think this is sort of the first step to be able to counter that suppression from YouTube and Facebook.
00:44:22.280So and what we're really doing is, you know, we're pulling the content from your Facebook page and from your YouTube.
00:44:27.620So the Blaze channel benefits because the view counts go back to you guys.
00:44:32.000And the other thing that we want to do in this, we're already starting to be introduced to other people.
00:44:36.840So we have these great young conservative filmmakers who put out amazing video content and no one sees it on YouTube or Facebook.
00:44:43.800So we said, hey, we'll be the platform for that.
00:44:46.120You go out and produce it and we'll work with our team and our network to make sure that, you know, half the country that wants to see this content can actually see your content.
00:45:45.180We need to be able, if it's known as a conservative thing, only conservatives are going to go there.
00:45:51.900So how have you wrestled with that in your mind?
00:45:56.500So I think the first kickoff for that was the Facebook documentary series that I did with the swamp.
00:46:01.860So we had six members of the House Freedom Caucus, and we followed them around the Capitol, and we talked about the big issues plaguing D.C.
00:46:08.760We had liberal and progressive groups sharing that Facebook series.
00:46:13.740So Tim Canova, who ran against Debbie Wasserman Schultz, this is a Bernie Sanders acolyte, shared the swamp episodes and said, I encourage all of my followers to see this.
00:46:23.160And we did it in a way where we didn't put Republican or conservative next to these guys' name.
00:46:35.720It's more about, hey, let's fix some of the big fundamental issues going on, and then we can get into some of the more policy debates.
00:46:42.280So I think that kind of content and then just presenting it in a really sleek mobile application makes it easy for people to interact with the content.
00:46:50.960Have you seen what's happening in Brazil with the young libertarians?
00:46:58.200You know, they are looking at America going, we can't sell that.
00:47:06.760All this freedom talk that they're doing is not appealing to the youth, and they are making huge gains and headway because they're 20-somethings who are naturally attracted to freedom and said, there's a better way to package this.
00:47:27.460I think that's great, and anything you're doing to encourage 20-somethings to do that, I think it's time they take charge.
00:47:37.460So I think, you know, having the big conservative publishers on board and us banding together, you know, with this program, we're going to find a lot of talented people out there who are, you know, frustrated, who are amazing videographers and filmmakers who can go out there and shoot this content and let them be the bridge to reach the next conservative or libertarian generation.
00:48:58.840The Kavanaugh thing, coupled with Cortez coming out and saying, you know, capitalism's not going to be around forever.
00:49:06.140The Democratic Socialists, the surrounding people while they're eating and shouting them down.
00:49:14.120Have the, do you think the Democrats, different than the leftists,
00:49:19.000do you think the Democrats are waking up to, holy cow, who's in our bed?
00:49:25.460Yeah, I was telling somebody earlier this week, the RNC just needs to put out a video of all the people clawing at the door of the Supreme Court.
00:49:31.660There is a big divide, I think, between like the old school, you know, Democrats, all my parents voted Democrat.
00:49:37.040I can, you know, continue to vote Democrat.
00:49:39.120Then what's going on in D.C. and people like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.
00:50:21.340I mean, I think the president's made it clear we're either a country of laws or not.
00:50:25.500And, you know, the ruse that they're using that this is, it's amazing how well the left uses terminology to try to convey people to their side,
00:50:51.940These guys are these guys are Marxist that are upset at the the the politicians in Honduras that kicked their Marxist guy out who had ties to Venezuela and to Castro in Cuba.
00:51:09.060They've been trying to do all kinds of stunting in in Honduras.
00:51:14.200They're they're carrying the Honduran flag that these guys are Marxist radicals.
00:51:19.980At least the leadership is I would have to imagine that if I was in a their situation, if I was legitimately a refugee and I got to Mexico and Mexico was willing to hear my case or process me.
00:51:31.460I would wait in line for as long as it took to help myself or my family for them to just break down the barricades and charge the police officers in Mexico and say, guys, you can't stop us.
00:51:43.840We're going all the way to the United States and right, you know, singing the Honduras national anthem.
00:51:49.160Yeah, it's this is about politics and who's funding them.
