00:00:43.420 Today's podcast.

00:00:44.700 Yes.

00:00:45.400 We start with two Saudi students that have been, they've gone missing.

00:00:49.720 Very strange story.

00:00:50.920 Yeah. Saudis are very curious. They're on it. They want America to know.

00:00:55.960 Well, these two Saudi students from Virginia, they go in, they ask the United States for asylum.

00:01:02.700 And then all of a sudden they just disappear.

00:01:06.600 And it happens.

00:01:07.620 Yeah.

00:01:07.960 You know, they disappear in Virginia and somehow or another they end up duct taped to each other.

00:01:14.380 On the side of a river in New York, Saudis are on it. 1.00

00:01:18.420 We, we start with that.

00:01:20.160 Also, we have Bill O'Reilly joining us today.

00:01:23.620 A look at some of the issues that happened this week.

00:01:26.220 He's going to be, by the way, joining us for our election coverage, which starts at 6 p.m.

00:01:30.740 Tuesday, only on The Blaze TV.

00:01:32.780 Subscribe now at theblaze.com slash TV.

00:01:35.560 We're going to have live coverage.

00:01:37.020 It's going to be great.

00:01:37.440 But he's going to talk a little bit about that.

00:01:40.680 Also, we're going to the election by the numbers as well.

00:01:44.020 The updates, there's a couple, we moved two Senate races from leaners to toss-ups and vice versa.

00:01:50.240 Also, give you a download of how the House looks if you use the prediction markets.

00:01:56.360 People can bet on the outcomes of these.

00:01:58.180 And a lot of times, these seem to be more interesting to look at than the polls.

00:02:02.540 And they reflect some interesting things.

00:02:05.540 And we get into that as well.

00:02:06.840 And Paul Boyce from The Daily Wire on, is the Pope a communist?

00:02:12.600 And what's happening in China?

00:02:14.640 All on today's podcast.

00:02:23.700 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:29.860 It's Thursday, November 1st.

00:02:32.260 Well, whatever your politics, you can't deny that Jon Stewart has a history of attacking the hypocrisy and high ideals of journalism for his, you know, subversive approach to media criticism.

00:02:44.740 He's a firebrand.

00:02:46.280 Does that mean anything in the era of President Donald Trump?

00:02:50.540 In post-Kavanaugh confirmation hearing world?

00:02:54.560 Does anything even matter?

00:02:58.280 Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle sat down with CNN's Christiane Anambour.

00:03:03.740 And Stewart had a few things to say.

00:03:06.480 Listen.

00:03:06.720 This guy is, he's giving you all cash.

00:03:11.900 The cash flow in the Trump era for, uh, for these TV stations and for these...

00:03:17.100 Can I say, that might have been an issue and maybe it still is an issue for the people who are the bean counters. 0.99

00:03:21.700 But we, the journalists...

00:03:22.720 We, the journalists, we, I mean, smite the bean counters, because we're... 0.99

00:03:29.260 And I like to use the word smite or smoke because I am a high and mighty journalist.

00:03:35.300 But anyway, you were saying, Jon, go ahead.

00:03:38.640 Can I say, that might have been an issue and maybe it still is an issue for the people who are the bean counters. 0.99

00:03:43.240 But we, the journalists, we, I think, believe that our job is to navigate the truth and to do the fact-checking and all the rest of it.

00:03:51.340 So I think that's what motivates a lot of people.

00:03:53.120 But I think the journalists have taken it personally.

00:03:54.940 Okay, that's interesting.

00:03:55.260 They're personally wounded and offended by this man.

00:03:58.240 He baits them and they dive in.

00:04:00.720 And what he's done well, I thought, is appeal to their own narcissism, to their own ego.

00:04:05.700 Because what he says is these are the...

00:04:07.580 And the journalists stand up and say, we are noble.

00:04:09.700 We are honorable.

00:04:10.340 How dare you, sir?

00:04:11.180 And they take it personally.

00:04:12.420 And now he's changed the conversation to not that his policies are silly or not working or any of those other things.

00:04:21.540 It's all about the fight.

00:04:22.780 He's able to tune out everything else and get people just focused on the fight.

00:04:29.280 He's right.

00:04:30.880 And how dare you say that we are offended.

00:04:35.760 Of course we're offended because he's saying we are the enemy.

00:04:41.380 That's exactly what's going on.

00:04:45.660 Stewart, I think, is a funny guy.

00:04:48.300 He is very powerful in the way he has persuaded so many people with The Daily Show.

00:04:55.980 He's got an agenda.

00:04:57.700 I don't know how he would handle the job today.

00:05:00.680 In this environment, when Trump is president, the press has an ugly infatuation with him, a session that pretends to be hatred.

00:05:09.220 It's one thing to say those things when you're not in the daily sausage-making business.

00:05:15.460 Because he can be aloof and say, you know what?

00:05:17.420 You guys are being fools and idiots. 0.61

00:05:19.660 I would never do that.

00:05:20.600 But I don't know if he would be any different.

00:05:23.180 Maybe he would.

00:05:23.940 This pretend hatred.

00:05:30.400 I don't know.

00:05:31.240 It's turned real.

00:05:34.520 There is this stalkerish fixation on Donald Trump.

00:05:40.940 And this fixation on just doing, so we've got to destroy him.

00:05:44.680 And they are completely unwilling to admit that they are, inarguably, a massive reason he rose to power in the first place.

00:05:54.180 And so people are tired of it.

00:05:55.960 Christiana Anandpour, I mean, does anybody not roll their eyes when she comes out?

00:06:00.600 And here's a report from Christiana Anandpour.

00:06:02.660 And he's like, oh, okay, yeah, this is going to be fair.

00:06:05.280 It's the mostly, you know, bi-coastal media elites who act as if they are the voice of America.

00:06:15.580 Who are you?

00:06:18.460 Did you go to some university to get your degree on what America really thinks?

00:06:23.900 No.

00:06:27.180 America, I'm here to tell you that your suspicions are correct. 1.00

00:06:30.280 They don't speak for you.

00:06:31.620 I mean, and they should say that.

00:06:33.680 Look, we're in this bubble.

00:06:35.740 We're in with all of the, you know, over-educated.

00:06:39.760 I've got more college education than you do.

00:06:42.020 And in fact, I went to a better college than you do.

00:06:45.600 I know these things.

00:06:48.620 They're in that bubble.

00:06:52.000 We're in a humor.

00:06:54.900 We're knee-deep.

00:06:56.220 No, we're neck-deep in a humorless time.

00:06:59.380 Now more than ever,

00:07:00.580 comedians are rebuking the journalists?

00:07:05.820 This should be interesting.

00:07:08.180 You know, the one thing is,

00:07:09.460 if we could just detach just a little bit from it,

00:07:13.660 this is really kind of fun and interesting to watch.

00:07:16.740 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:07:27.620 Let's go to Pat, who's joining us now from Pat Unleashed.

00:07:31.740 He's back on his chain.

00:07:33.260 He's unleashed, you know, in the morning prior to this program.

00:07:37.620 So he's back on the chain, but he's unleashed?

00:07:40.700 So we've chained him?

00:07:42.300 You chained him immediately after the show.

00:07:44.440 You can't unleash him for more than a couple of hours every day.

00:07:47.580 How are you, Pat?

00:07:48.140 What's, uh...

00:07:49.180 Well, you know, everything you just said there is why I get so pissed off

00:07:52.920 every time I see a Beto sign on somebody's yard.

00:07:55.980 Think how stupid can you be?

00:07:59.780 Why?

00:08:00.500 Why do you want a socialist in Texas?

00:08:03.240 What's the matter with you?

00:08:04.440 You ready for this one?

00:08:05.100 What are you thinking in Florida?

00:08:07.780 Oh, yeah.

00:08:08.260 Florida.

00:08:08.720 Where he's an avowed socialist.

00:08:10.520 He's an avowed socialist.

00:08:12.040 By the way, right now...

00:08:12.520 Pretty much.

00:08:12.880 The governor...

00:08:13.880 Gillum.

00:08:14.860 Andrew Gillum.

00:08:15.800 So right now, Florida is, I believe, one or two on the list of 50,

00:08:23.700 the freest states.

00:08:26.040 I believe Florida is one or two.

00:08:28.440 If he gets into office, his proposals...

00:08:31.940 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:32.340 Put them down in the low 40s from one or two...

00:08:37.960 Wow.

00:08:38.420 ...to 47 or 48.

00:08:41.360 That's amazing.

00:08:42.980 He's ahead by six points.

00:08:44.720 What is...

00:08:45.440 What are you thinking?

00:08:46.060 Madness.

00:08:47.040 Madness.

00:08:47.820 Every time I drive into my neighborhood, I see this Beto sign.

00:08:50.340 And so last night, we're out trick-or-treating with the kids and their kids.

00:08:53.800 So my grandkids are out trick-or-treating.

00:08:55.800 And we go to the house with the Beto sign.

00:08:58.300 And I'm like, they've probably poisoned their candy.

00:09:00.460 We shouldn't go here.

00:09:03.140 We should stop demonizing people.

00:09:05.420 But these people are poisoning candy. 0.97

00:09:09.760 So then she opens up her door, the woman of the house, 0.99

00:09:15.080 and she's wearing a Beto for Senate T-shirt on top of it.

00:09:18.900 I'm like, really?

00:09:20.520 Really?

00:09:21.160 You're even going to...

00:09:22.840 To all your neighbors...

00:09:23.620 What?

00:09:23.780 No, every single one of them is a Ted Cruz fan.

00:09:26.140 Every single one of them.

00:09:27.480 And so it's just an in-your-face to everybody in this neighborhood.

00:09:29.520 Excuse me, what is Halloween all about?

00:09:31.880 An in-your-face to everybody in the neighborhood?

00:09:33.800 Yes, what is Halloween all about?

00:09:35.380 Well, dressing up as something that you're not.

00:09:36.920 So maybe it's a big Cruz fan.

00:09:37.840 You dress as something that you're not,

00:09:39.460 and you decorate your house to make it the scariest damn house you can.

00:09:44.300 You open up the door.

00:09:46.080 Yes.

00:09:46.440 And I told Jackie, I'm going to go up and ask her if the $35,000 or $40,000

00:09:53.980 they're paying in property taxes just isn't enough.

00:09:57.040 You've got to pay more.

00:09:58.400 And Jackie said, no, no, no.

00:09:59.800 You're not going up there.

00:10:00.460 You're not going up there.

00:10:01.760 You are not going up there.

00:10:03.180 Oh, Pat.

00:10:04.840 I thought domestic tranquility was more important.

00:10:07.620 There is a point where Pat unleashed is leashed, and it's with Jackie.

00:10:11.240 Yes, it is.

00:10:12.440 For sure.

00:10:13.260 That's an iron leash.

00:10:14.440 You can't even move that chain.

00:10:16.680 So what did they give away at the house?

00:10:18.700 Party favors.

00:10:20.160 Oh, no, not even candy.

00:10:20.900 Yeah, those little New Year's things that you blow into.

00:10:25.740 You're kidding me.

00:10:26.620 So first of all, that's all we heard the rest of the night from my grandkids.

00:10:30.560 Secondly, I'm sure they don't believe in candy.

00:10:33.480 What do you mean they don't believe in candy?

00:10:35.200 They don't believe in candy for the kids.

00:10:36.640 I don't believe candy is a real thing.

00:10:37.280 It's going to rot their teeth.

00:10:38.740 I'm not giving them candy.

00:10:40.440 They just can't do that to children.

00:10:42.280 And what about the obesity epidemic in this country?

00:10:46.040 That's probably what it is.

00:10:47.440 You know that's what it is.

00:10:49.300 You know.

00:10:49.960 That's amazing.

00:10:50.600 You know what?

00:10:51.320 Here's.

00:10:51.740 I remember.

00:10:52.600 And you're too young, but Pat, you'll remember this.

00:10:55.640 Do you remember going to people's houses before the big fake scare on Halloween?

00:11:02.320 And you would get candy apples.

00:11:04.740 You would get popcorn balls.

00:11:07.000 I remember making them.

00:11:08.340 All the time.

00:11:08.780 All the time.

00:11:09.860 And you'd actually eat them.

00:11:11.500 Yes.

00:11:11.940 You'd make the popcorn ball.

00:11:13.840 And we didn't have store-boughtened candy.

00:11:16.400 When I was really young, we did not get store-boughtened candy.

00:11:19.760 You would go house to house, and people would make stuff.

00:11:23.840 What?

00:11:24.580 Huh?

00:11:25.020 Huh?

00:11:25.540 So you would make stuff.

00:11:27.700 I remember there was some lady, like that Beto voter, there was this lady, she was an old lady, and she lived there, and she thought she was going to be the good doer of the neighborhood. 0.94

00:11:38.840 And she would give us toothbrushes every year.

00:11:41.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:42.120 And she would give us a toothbrush, and she would say, because you've got all those sweets, make sure you brush your teeth.

00:11:48.920 Here's a toothbrush, and I'll have another one for you next year.

00:11:52.480 And I remember looking at her going, I ain't coming back here next year.

00:11:55.760 This is our last trip here, that's for sure.

00:11:58.880 It's also interesting, you know, that you bring up the thing that never happened.

00:12:02.660 You know, there was never a razor blade in anybody's apple.

00:12:06.260 There was never a poisoned popcorn ball.

00:12:09.100 It never happened.

00:12:09.920 So the poison was in a pixie stick.

00:12:12.980 In Houston.

00:12:13.780 And it was a dad who killed his own children.

00:12:17.620 For the insurance money.

00:12:18.920 It was so sad.

00:12:20.080 Yeah, really sad.

00:12:20.780 And he was executed for that crime, like, right away.

00:12:23.520 He killed his son in 74.

00:12:26.160 He was executed in 74.

00:12:29.340 So, yeah.

00:12:30.740 Same year?

00:12:31.560 It seemed, that's, at least that's what I read yesterday.

00:12:34.560 Yeah, it used to happen pretty quickly.

00:12:37.080 But he deserved it.

00:12:38.580 And that's the only known documented case of candy poisoning.

00:12:42.600 But there's never been, to my knowledge, ever been a razor blade in, where are you, why would there be a razor blade in somebody's apple at Halloween?

00:12:51.780 You'd have to be, like, trick-or-treating at Charlie Manson's house.

00:12:55.340 Who would do that?

00:12:56.100 I know.

00:12:56.600 Who would do that?

00:12:57.360 It never happened.

00:12:58.860 Never happened.

00:12:59.200 And the pixie stick thing is amazing, because he put, I don't know what pint of poison.

00:13:03.000 Cyanide.

00:13:03.560 Cyanide.

00:13:04.160 He put cyanide in the pixie sticks for his own children.

00:13:07.900 Yeah.

00:13:08.080 They went door to door.

00:13:09.620 The pixie sticks he just threw into their bag.

00:13:12.360 They get home.

00:13:13.200 Dad, can we have any candy?

00:13:14.540 He said, not tonight, kids.

00:13:15.880 But you can have one pixie stick.

00:13:18.300 And so he knew.

00:13:19.620 And he put the pixie stick. 0.95

00:13:21.080 And they, down the pixie stick, they die.

00:13:23.600 He calls police.

00:13:24.820 Police are like, oh, my gosh.

00:13:25.940 Oh, my children.

00:13:27.140 Who would do this?

00:13:27.840 It was one of our neighbors.

00:13:30.000 All the neighbors.

00:13:31.000 Nobody was giving out pixie sticks.

00:13:32.940 Turns out to be him.

00:13:34.420 Unbelievable.

00:13:34.920 And it changes America.

00:13:37.580 It seriously did.

00:13:38.840 It did.

00:13:39.260 It changed everything.

00:13:39.940 I mean, ever since then, you didn't trust anybody.

00:13:45.040 And it opened up all that.

00:13:47.860 Well, you threw away anything that didn't come from a store, first of all.

00:13:51.020 Anything that wasn't prepackaged, you threw it away.

00:13:53.200 I remember as a kid, as a kid, looking at those things.

00:13:57.020 Because we grew up every.

00:13:58.440 There were people that made great stuff.

00:14:01.640 And you would be like, oh, no.

00:14:03.420 Mrs. Olsen, she's made this.

00:14:04.920 It's so great.

00:14:05.960 She only does it on Halloween. 0.99

00:14:07.520 You'd get it, and your parents would go, I'm not sure.

00:14:10.580 Are you sure you got that from her house?

00:14:12.880 I think so.

00:14:13.960 Throw it away.

00:14:15.060 What?

00:14:16.140 Or anything that was even mildly opened.

00:14:18.560 Right.

00:14:18.900 Maybe somehow tore.

00:14:21.360 I just put it into the bag.

00:14:22.460 Nope.

00:14:22.680 You had to throw that away, too.

00:14:23.880 As if if you're injecting poison into something.

00:14:27.060 It's the rip.

00:14:27.860 They're going to rip it open and then inject the poison. 0.79

00:14:30.300 Instead of just poking a needle hole through the actual wrapper.

00:14:33.600 They're going to go through that much trouble.

00:14:35.040 It's crazy.

00:14:35.820 And look what happened to us.

00:14:37.480 Look what happened to us.

00:14:38.380 We no longer trust each other.

00:14:39.820 We think everybody's out to get us.

00:14:41.640 It was one story made by the media, pushed out into the media because it sold newspapers.

00:14:49.540 It got television coverage.

00:14:51.500 Then it distorted and twisted into stuff that wasn't true.

00:14:55.560 We didn't need social media.

00:14:57.340 We needed one story.

00:14:59.320 And look what it did to us.

00:15:00.920 It's amazing.

00:15:01.360 I mean, to the point where they even had emergency rooms.

00:15:06.020 X-ray your candy.

00:15:08.080 I remember that.

00:15:09.680 What a waste of time and money.

00:15:13.260 Crazy.

00:15:14.000 Just crazy.

00:15:14.820 And you can take your candy to the...

00:15:16.920 Nobody thought to say, this isn't happening.

00:15:20.520 Right.

00:15:20.840 This is not happening.

00:15:22.140 There's no case of this.

00:15:24.100 None.

00:15:24.600 It's really hard, though.

00:15:25.320 And it's like the precursor to social media urban legends, right?

00:15:29.120 I mean, it's the same concept, but now it's so much easier.

00:15:31.920 And so many more believe them.

00:15:33.380 Yes.

00:15:33.720 You know, it would probably be really hard to start that fake rumor back in 1982 or whatever,

00:15:40.140 late 70s, when that became the thing where you had to go get your x-ray, your candy x-rayed.

00:15:45.400 Now, you put it out there and within a week, everyone believes it.

00:15:48.980 Well, it's because this is the blessing and the curse.

00:15:52.540 In the old days, all you needed was a legitimate story on Walter Cronkite that nobody really saw.

00:15:59.660 Yeah.

00:16:00.100 And they heard this story and then word of mouth.

00:16:03.440 No, I saw it with Cronkite.

00:16:04.840 Some guy was killing children in Houston.

00:16:08.000 That spreads like wildfire.

00:16:10.840 There's nowhere to go.

00:16:12.940 Where are you going to go?

00:16:13.920 Is somebody going to take the time to go to the library and look up the Houston Chronicle to find the story?

00:16:18.360 No.

00:16:18.980 So it just becomes reality.

00:16:22.120 Well, now we can tell this story and I can guarantee you that there's people listening right now that are Googling that story to say,

00:16:29.660 wait a minute, is that true?

00:16:30.780 And they're going to spend a day and they'll read it and they'll know everything about that story.

00:16:34.760 The problem is, at the same time that blessing has happened, the curse of being able to make fake news, you know, Russian, you know, disinformation campaigns and just sick people who are just making stuff up.

00:16:51.320 That also exists.

00:16:52.320 But we won't take the time before it was like, what am I going to do, go to the library and ask for them to send a copy of the, no.

00:16:59.820 Now we won't even take the time to do anything but read the headline, a little bit of that story and send it to somebody else.

00:17:09.720 You've got to do your homework.

00:17:12.720 Look at how one story changed America.

00:17:16.780 Think of Kavanaugh.

00:17:18.460 Think of any of these stories that are out there.

00:17:21.120 Think of now how many sources have said Donald Trump is responsible for the shooting in Pittsburgh.

00:17:27.600 Not true.

00:17:29.180 Not true.

00:17:30.180 Yeah, the shooter hated Donald Trump.

00:17:31.840 Right, hated him.

00:17:33.360 And that's going to be, that will be in our history books.

00:17:37.900 That will now be in our history books.

00:17:40.340 By the way, I don't want to disseminate fake news.

00:17:44.640 Ronald O'Brien, the candy man, was executed at 84, not 74.

00:17:49.360 Oh, okay.

00:17:50.360 I was going to say, even for Texas, that's pretty efficient.

00:17:52.580 That would be really fast.

00:17:53.480 Oh, Brian, any relation to Beto?

00:17:58.520 Yes.

00:17:59.700 He's O'Rourke, I don't think.

00:18:01.100 They both have O's in their house.

00:18:02.900 It's like O'Reilly.

00:18:03.820 You don't think I'm asking that about Bill O'Reilly as well?

00:18:06.440 You're cousins.

00:18:07.900 You bet.

00:18:08.340 All right, thank you very much.

00:18:14.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:20.180 Like listening to this podcast?

00:18:21.800 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

00:18:25.280 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

00:18:27.980 Bill O'Reilly, where we can pick the brain of a giant.

00:18:32.980 And he's on the program now, a day early, because, I don't know, he can't get up early tomorrow,

00:18:38.760 or he wants to sleep in, he's got jammies, and he wants to play with his dog.

00:18:42.800 I'm not sure, but he's made time for all of us now, and here he is, Bill O'Reilly.

00:18:48.300 I'll be in South Carolina, Beck.

00:18:49.960 You're going to be in South Carolina.

00:18:52.440 So I'm on the road tomorrow, and I wanted to give you and Stu my undivided attention.

00:18:59.920 Oh, my goodness.

00:19:00.520 Thank you.

00:19:01.220 That's amazing.

00:19:02.120 And it's not the most informed analyst in America.

00:19:04.880 It's the most astute.

00:19:07.420 Astute.

00:19:07.820 Astute.

00:19:08.580 Say it.

00:19:09.040 Say it.

00:19:09.580 Say it.

00:19:10.020 Word for the day.

00:19:10.600 Word for the day.

00:19:12.300 Bill, lots going on this week.

00:19:14.480 Where would you like to start?

00:19:15.780 You know, I think the frenzy of the media covering the elections is worth talking about.

00:19:26.980 Okay.

00:19:27.340 Because, you know, they got a lot invested in this, the national media.

00:19:31.680 And so does Hollywood.

00:19:32.720 Hollywood is making a push like I have not seen before.

00:19:37.080 They are everywhere.

00:19:38.760 Those pinheads don't mean anything.

00:19:40.180 You know, it's interesting because there isn't one Hollywood star now that can open a movie.

00:19:46.320 It used to be Clint Eastwood or John Wayne or, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:19:52.340 They could open movies that people would just go to see the film because they were in it.

00:19:56.980 That's gone.

00:19:58.400 There isn't any buddy out there of superstar stature.

00:20:02.540 So thus you're left with Robert De Niro cursing and, you know, guys who haven't showered in five days.

00:20:09.400 And I don't even know who they are.

00:20:11.460 Oprah Winfrey is in Georgia this weekend.

00:20:14.680 Who?

00:20:15.480 Oprah.

00:20:17.360 Oprah is going to be on the tour with Mrs. Obama.

00:20:23.320 The campaign for the governor of Georgia.

00:20:27.220 Oh, okay.

00:20:28.020 Okay.

00:20:28.480 Yeah.

00:20:28.700 She's campaigning.

00:20:30.080 Right.

00:20:30.240 I think she's going to lose.

00:20:32.280 I think the Republican will win in Georgia.

00:20:36.860 But getting back to your original brilliant question, what do you want to talk about?

00:20:42.780 And you must have studied, or you and Stu discussed that for about three hours.

00:20:46.720 Yeah, we did.

00:20:47.780 It's the national media has so much on the line here.

00:20:52.020 Because if the Republicans pull it out in the House and they control both houses of Congress and Trump struts around like it's me because I did 87,000 rallies and everybody loves me, where does the media go?

00:21:07.680 Well, I mean, they're just slammed to the ground.

00:21:11.160 I agree with you on this, but I don't think.

00:21:13.500 There's a frenzy.

00:21:13.800 There's a frenzy now.

00:21:15.300 Here's what they will do, of course.

00:21:17.100 They will say, you know what?

00:21:18.700 America is even more racist than we thought, even with the shooting and the bombing.

00:21:23.500 This is who America is, apparently.

00:21:26.020 That'll bury them even more.

00:21:27.820 Oh, I know that, but they won't see that coming.

00:21:29.160 They'll bury them even more.

00:21:30.080 You know what?

00:21:30.640 You started to attack the messenger in the sense that people have to either buy your newspaper or watch you on television.

00:21:37.500 You keep insulting them.

00:21:39.780 You're driving people away.

00:21:43.060 And, you know, it is a tribalism thing now, particularly on television news.

00:21:47.300 Whatever tribe you're in, that's the station you watch.

00:21:50.580 Did you guys see the study that came out that 89% of CNN viewers vote Democrat?

00:21:57.680 Of course.

00:21:58.960 That came out, and 95% of Fox News viewers, 95%.

00:22:03.540 It wasn't like that.

00:22:05.060 It was not like that.

00:22:06.160 When I was there and you were there, it was not like that.

00:22:08.700 Nope.

00:22:09.520 And so now it's, you know, my tribe has this channel.

00:22:13.440 And then all the networks had high, very high Democrat voting people.

00:22:18.460 But I see, and I don't think anybody else is really following this,

00:22:23.840 I think if Trump is reelected and the Republicans maintain control,

00:22:30.820 that the national media in this country is going to explode in a bad way for them.

00:22:38.940 Because they are as crazed, and that's the word, as I have ever seen in my 45 years in journalism.

00:22:47.500 So we've never seen people, they're like foaming at the mouth deck.

00:22:51.880 You know, it's bizarre.

00:22:55.720 This week, Don Lemon said, we have to stop demonizing people and realize that the real terrorists in this country are white males,

00:23:07.280 mainly on the right.

00:23:09.020 That's a quote in the same sentence.

00:23:11.480 But if you or Stu or me said, the real threat are black males on the left, what if we had said that? 0.74

00:23:21.060 Well, yeah, we would be done.

00:23:22.800 We would be done.

00:23:24.480 But wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:23:25.760 So we would have been fired and hung and whipped and then tied to a stake with twigs and burned.

00:23:33.660 Okay, so now let's go back.

00:23:37.460 Why can Don Lemon say that about a portion of the American population?

00:23:45.920 Because they know Don and they know he's not a racist.

00:23:50.220 And, you know, we also know what's going on in the country.

00:23:54.060 We know Donald Trump is a racist.

00:23:56.240 No, but here's the deal.

00:23:58.280 Well, if the press were fair and looking for the truth, they would cover Don Lemon like they covered Megyn Kelly.

00:24:06.940 Yes.

00:24:07.520 In the blackface. 0.99

00:24:08.420 Yes.

00:24:08.860 Yes, they would.

00:24:09.580 Yes.

00:24:10.120 Right.

00:24:10.560 But they don't.

00:24:11.980 So therefore, people who aren't engaged, and that's most people in the media, they don't know Don.

00:24:17.920 Who knows Don Lemon?

00:24:18.900 Go out today in Dallas and say, hey, what do you think of Don Lemon?

00:24:21.920 And they go, is that lemonade?

00:24:23.340 What?

00:24:23.920 Why?

00:24:24.360 They don't know him.

00:24:25.420 Nobody knows him.

00:24:26.220 But the media could have destroyed him, could have said that's a racist statement.

00:24:31.280 I don't believe that Don Lemon's a racist because I never call people racist unless they're members of the Klan or the Nazi Party. 0.55

00:24:37.920 Then I can say with the surety that they are.

00:24:41.060 But, you know, you're in a country now.

00:24:44.200 We're in a country now where the truth doesn't matter anymore.

00:24:47.880 And that's so frightening to me.

00:24:49.080 So, Bill, I know I'm asking you to speculate, which you never do, but you're looking at the polls.

00:24:56.160 You're following this.

00:24:57.060 Yeah, I am.

00:24:57.720 And you're feeling the mood of the country.

00:25:01.040 What do you think is coming for election night?

00:25:04.100 Very tight all over the place.

00:25:06.520 Very, very tight.

00:25:07.720 That up late, you know, it's in places like Montana, in Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, in the Senate races, this is just airtight.

00:25:23.360 And I think that's how it's going to play out.

00:25:26.760 So I believe that the Senate will maintain its Republican status and maybe the GOP will pick up two seats.

00:25:33.860 And the House is impossible to say because you don't know the candidates and you don't know how much money is pouring into these small districts.

00:25:41.220 But the Republicans have to defend so many more seats than Democrats just by the odds, just by that.

00:25:49.440 You would say the Democrats should be very close to a majority in the House.

00:25:53.280 But if it's only a three or four seat majority, it doesn't really matter because Trump's going to be able to peel away a few votes from moderate Democrats for what he wants to do.

00:26:03.460 If it's 20, 25 seats on the Democratic Party, then you're going to have gridlock for two years.

00:26:08.920 And even if it's four, you're going to have hearings and investigations and nonstop, don't you think?

00:26:15.220 I doubt it because from my read of the Mueller investigation.

00:26:21.380 That thing's over.

00:26:21.980 Yeah, and he's not going to even issue a report.

00:26:27.100 Mueller's not even going to tell the American public what he found or didn't find.

00:26:32.340 No, it was supposed to be issued right after the election.

00:26:36.440 That's what I've read.

00:26:37.660 He, according to my sources, which are impeccable, he's going to fall back on this was a criminal investigation.

00:26:46.320 We're not bringing charges against anybody in the Trump administration.

00:26:51.440 And that's it.

00:26:52.380 Goodbye.

00:26:52.860 See you later.

00:26:53.780 I'm around if you need me for anything else.

00:26:56.080 Because if you are an investigative agency and you find nothing against Stu, all right, you don't put out a report that exonerates Stu.

00:27:05.320 You just say, we didn't find anything.

00:27:07.640 We're not going to prosecute.

00:27:09.240 That's what he's going to do.

00:27:10.740 So for $17 million, that's what we're going to get.

00:27:15.160 However, the inspector general in the Justice Department has to issue his report of whether the FBI intentionally booted the Russian collusion investigation.

00:27:27.440 That ties right into Mueller.

00:27:28.800 Now, he has to get specific, but he'll do what he did the last time.

00:27:33.240 He'll go, you know, it doesn't look real good, but, you know, we can't really prove it.

00:27:38.640 Thanks a lot.

00:27:39.880 It's the way our bureaucracy works.

00:27:42.000 You very rarely get anybody who utters a declarative sentence and points a finger.

00:27:47.500 They don't do this.

00:27:48.460 These guys are CYA experts.

00:27:51.880 So what does this mean, then, if the Democrats control – you don't believe that they have a chance of taking the Senate, do you?

00:27:59.300 No.

00:27:59.940 I mean, if that happens, that's Armageddon for Trump.

00:28:03.300 Yes.

00:28:04.420 If they take the House and it's – do you think it's more likely that it's 25 or 3?

00:28:09.580 I would say it's close.

00:28:11.040 It's going to be under 10.

00:28:12.760 I'm probably going to be wrong.

00:28:14.500 What does the country look like a year from now with, you know, a House that is controlled by the Democrats?

00:28:23.900 I just don't think it's going to be that big a deal.

00:28:26.420 I don't think that the Democratic Party is going to launch articles of impeachment because they'll lose the presidential race in 2020.

00:28:35.240 I mean, time goes fast.

00:28:36.980 And I just don't see the leadership, such as it is of the Democratic Party, wanting Donald Trump reelected president.

00:28:45.040 And if you're going to, you know, put up a Kavanaugh situation against Trump, you're assuring his reelection because he's got 45 percent of the electorate now.

00:28:56.240 Trump's got 45 percent of the vote now.

00:28:59.720 You do anything crazy, you push him easily into 55.

00:29:05.180 You know, look, people think that there are all these secular progressives, all these progressives running around.

00:29:11.320 They're very, very few in number.

00:29:13.880 But their voices are heard because the media acts in concert with them.

00:29:18.200 All right?

00:29:18.580 There aren't that many of them.

00:29:20.580 Most Americans are in the middle.

00:29:22.120 You know, they just want to have a government that functions well so they have opportunity and raise their kids and work hard.

00:29:29.860 That's what they do.

00:29:31.000 But they don't like persecutions.

00:29:33.900 They don't like dishonesty.

00:29:35.640 And, you know, I mean, in New Jersey, that's a race I'm watching. 1.00

00:29:38.580 We're talking about the elections next week and Menendez, who is running in New Jersey.

00:29:43.560 Let's talk about that, Bill.

00:29:45.260 Yeah, he's losing support fast.

00:29:48.360 And if the Democrats lose New Jersey, that will be stunning.

00:29:53.540 And I just don't know.

00:29:54.900 I used to live in New Jersey, how anybody could vote for Robert Menendez.

00:29:58.080 I just can't imagine it.

00:29:59.840 And that disturbs me.

00:30:01.380 You know, I mean, this guy, he just, and it was a hung jury, just, just got in.

00:30:07.520 And then the Senate Ethics Committee hammered him.

00:30:10.600 And then you're going to cast your ballot for this man?

00:30:13.940 I mean, oh, my God.

00:30:17.260 And this is corruption, you know, this beyond any reasonable doubt.

00:30:21.820 See, and that is the thing when you said, you know, people don't like corruption.

00:30:25.100 They don't, but they seem to excuse it a lot.

00:30:28.960 He's still got a five-point lead over the Republican challenger in New Jersey.

00:30:33.220 Now, that lead is shrinking, and the commercials are devastating here against Menendez.

00:30:41.280 So I think that might go.

00:30:43.480 To the Republican column.

00:30:45.420 Stu, do you think?

00:30:46.400 Stu is just really good at stats.

00:30:48.700 Yeah.

00:30:49.120 I mean, we've been tempted so many times to believe that New Jersey is going to, you know,

00:30:53.680 it's going to happen.

00:30:54.480 And it's really the only example of where it really has was the Christie election when he

00:30:59.140 beat Corzine.

00:30:59.880 But that was the same type of situation.

00:31:01.400 I mean, Menendez should go down for this.

00:31:03.780 I don't know if he will, but I'm, you know, hopeful.

00:31:06.460 Let me, let me.

00:31:07.100 Yeah.

00:31:07.160 Go ahead.

00:31:08.620 And the other states that it's really tough is Arizona and Nevada.

00:31:14.360 Now, I said yesterday on the No Spin News, which, of course, is the newscast of record

00:31:19.820 now in America, next to the blaze.

00:31:22.200 I said yesterday that I don't believe there's going to be a big African-American turnout for

00:31:29.400 the midterms, you know, larger than usual, or Hispanic-American.

00:31:33.860 I could be wrong on a Hispanic-American thing because the caravan got their attention.

00:31:38.600 But the Kavanaugh thing, you know, that doesn't engage, generally speaking, people who are

00:31:47.680 really trying to make ends meet and they're not watching cable and they're not reading

00:31:52.860 the newspapers and not locked in.

00:31:55.480 They have to do so much just to survive.

00:31:59.240 So what is the thing?

00:32:00.700 I mean, I know what's driving the ends.

00:32:02.760 You know, the, the, you know, democratic socialism, stop Trump driving that, probably the caravan

00:32:10.540 and, and Kavanaugh drumming, driving that.

00:32:14.560 What's driving the average person to go out and vote, Bill, do you think?

00:32:18.300 Well, the actual, I was debating a Democratic pollster and he actually agreed with me that,

00:32:23.220 that minorities probably won't come out in great numbers.

00:32:28.040 But then he said, you know, these liberal white women in the suburbs are going to put 1.00

00:32:31.900 the Dems over the top.

00:32:33.840 It is tribal. 0.69

00:32:35.700 There's no doubt about it.

00:32:37.200 And what's driving people, the overwhelming issue in this country now is Donald Trump.

00:32:43.600 So that's the overwhelming issue.

00:32:46.260 His, his supporters love him.

00:32:49.400 They're engaged, they're energized, and they're going to go and vote straight Republican ticket.

00:32:54.720 And the people who don't like him are going to do the exact opposite.

00:32:58.460 So you can talk healthcare, you can talk the economy, you can talk the issues.

00:33:03.120 It's about Donald Trump.

00:33:05.760 He knows it.

00:33:07.420 All right.

00:33:07.740 That's why he's running around everywhere to try to, you know, get his supporters to overwhelm

00:33:13.220 his detractors.

00:33:15.400 Let's, let's go to Florida.

00:33:17.800 Gillum is a, an avowed socialist.

00:33:21.060 Uh, Florida is not Manhattan, but he is now ahead by five points.

00:33:29.540 What's happening there?

00:33:31.980 I think DeSantis is a bad candidate on the Republican side.

00:33:36.840 He's got no charisma.

00:33:38.500 Um, people don't know who he is.

00:33:41.820 Gillum has got, uh, the Democratic establishment, lots of out of state money coming in big, big

00:33:47.800 money, so he can buy commercials in the populated zones.

00:33:51.820 Um, the machine, the Democratic machine in Florida is very well organized in Orlando, Dade

00:33:59.260 County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, and the Tampa area.

00:34:02.740 It doesn't seem like the Republicans are as organized.

00:34:06.080 Now, on the Senate race, I think the Governor Scott there, who's popular, has, has a shot

00:34:12.960 if the people in a panhandle devastated by the hurricane can get it together and vote,

00:34:17.540 because that's Republican territory.

00:34:19.420 But I know Florida well.

00:34:21.380 I taught high school there, and, and it's not the way it was when I was there.

00:34:25.520 It's now a state that is very, very ideological.

00:34:31.000 Well, when you were, when, when you were there, though, uh, I believe Cornelius Vanderbilt

00:34:36.160 had just built the first railroad, uh, no, Ponce de Leon and I were very, very good friends.

00:34:42.220 All right.

00:34:42.540 Didn't know they had high school back then, but anyway.

00:34:44.800 Searching for the fountain of youth.

00:34:48.400 Apparently never found it, Bill.

00:34:49.940 Apparently never found it.

00:34:51.180 Yeah.

00:34:51.520 Okay, Beck, you can, you can mock me if you want, but your audience, they have eyes, they

00:34:57.220 can see you.

00:34:58.100 Yeah, they can see you.

00:34:59.320 They can see me.

00:35:00.140 Yeah, it's scary, isn't it?

00:35:02.800 I mean, I am looking more and more like Colonel Sanders every day.

00:35:05.740 I mean, and now you got chickens following you around.

00:35:08.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:35:09.280 Well, the suicidal ones.

00:35:11.180 The chickens are like, please, make this end.

00:35:12.880 I can't watch CNN another minute, please.

00:35:15.760 Did you have a nice Halloween back?

00:35:17.060 I wanted to ask you that.

00:35:18.700 Did you, were you, uh, happy with the way the day went yesterday?

00:35:22.580 Uh, yes, it seems like an odd question, but yes, I was.

00:35:27.180 I was out with my grandchildren.

00:35:28.060 Did anybody, did anybody shaving cream your house or anything?

00:35:30.920 Did you get any of that?

00:35:32.060 No, I have, I live in a compound.

00:35:34.500 There's, I mean, I have SWAT teams.

00:35:36.720 I paid urchins to do it, so now I'm going to have to get my money.

00:35:39.580 Yeah, you're going to have to get your money back.

00:35:40.880 Yeah, you're going to have to get it because that didn't, uh, that didn't happen.

00:35:43.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:35:50.820 Paul Boyce is with us now.

00:36:11.740 He's a writer with The Daily Wire.

00:36:13.320 He, uh, was a guy who got his start writing for Ben Shapiro in 2013.

00:36:17.040 Um, he is, uh, he is known as Vox Dei for the Michael Knowles show, and an article caught

00:36:26.200 my eye that he wrote about the Chinese cardinals.

00:36:30.260 Pope Francis has a natural sympathy for communists, and he makes some pretty, uh, strong statements

00:36:37.280 here that I'm not hearing other people actually report.

00:36:43.100 Most people, if you're a Catholic or you know a lot of Catholics, most people are asking

00:36:47.620 these questions, but no one seems willing to answer them.

00:36:51.160 Paul has.

00:36:52.120 Welcome to the program, Paul.

00:36:54.800 All right, thanks, Glenn.

00:36:55.840 Thank you for having me.

00:36:56.700 You bet.

00:36:57.240 So, I've been watching this Pope for a while.

00:36:59.580 A lot of people, I mean, as soon as CNN said, oh my gosh, oh, this guy is wonderful, I remember

00:37:06.360 when the, before the smoke had cleared the chimney, CNN was all over him, and I thought,

00:37:12.180 uh-oh, that's got to be bad.

00:37:13.880 Um, and so we've been watching him, and he has a tendency to not like capitalism.

00:37:20.100 He has a tendency to like statism, Marxism, et cetera, et cetera.

00:37:23.920 Um, but what he's done in China is truly breathtaking.

00:37:29.780 Can you explain first what he's done?

00:37:34.120 Yeah, so essentially, uh, the deal in China, now the provisions of it haven't completely

00:37:40.060 been fully laid out, but the insiders, uh, close to the deal and, uh, people on the ground

00:37:45.320 in China have pretty much stated the Chinese, uh, communist government is going to have a

00:37:50.940 role in selecting bishops, and the Pope is basically just going to have veto power.

00:37:57.140 And also, the underground church in China is, who's faithful to the Holy See, is going

00:38:03.680 to join the official church in China that's recognized by the communist government, and

00:38:10.280 the 30 bishops that are associated with that are going to become a minority in the bishops

00:38:16.440 conference there.

00:38:17.140 Okay, so the, so the only thing, the only reason the Catholics really survive and are 1.00

00:38:22.660 growing is because of the underground church.

00:38:25.800 And it's my understanding that having a foreign leader basically appoint your bishops in the

00:38:34.780 history, the 2,000 year history of the church, it's never happened.

00:38:40.820 Uh, basically, yes.

00:38:42.420 I mean, we have in history, I mean, France, certainly the French crown certainly, uh, played

00:38:47.800 a role in selecting bishops, uh, but, uh, it's, it never works out for the church when

00:38:55.120 that happens.

00:38:55.520 Or the people.

00:38:56.080 I mean, certainly, yeah, or the people, uh, and this certainly won't, uh, help the people

00:39:01.040 in China or the Chinese church.

00:39:03.400 What's just essentially going to happen is, I mean, China doesn't care about the, about 0.99

00:39:08.600 religion.

00:39:08.960 So let's just say, okay, the, the Pope has veto power on the bishops they appoint.

00:39:13.520 Okay.

00:39:14.040 So let's say he vetoes it 10 times.

00:39:16.220 What motivation does China have to, to give him a bishop that he wants?

00:39:20.660 They'll just say, okay, it goes unfilled.

00:39:22.600 We don't care.

00:39:23.820 They have no motivation whatsoever to work with the Holy See.

00:39:27.780 And I want to correct something, correct something you just said, because I think it was

00:39:31.760 a misunderstanding or misspeak, China has every reason to care about religion.

00:39:38.500 Uh, they want to destroy religion and make it, uh, into a Chinese tool to bring you to 1.00

00:39:46.960 communism.

00:39:48.420 I agree with that.

00:39:49.680 I mean, they don't care if, uh, if religion is doing well or if it's healthy.

00:39:53.560 Correct.

00:39:53.840 They just, so what motivation do they have to work with the Pope to give him a bishop that

00:39:59.820 they want to be vetoes once they appoint.

00:40:02.100 So, um, in here, in your article, you talk about, uh, Marcelo Sanchez Sarando.

00:40:08.480 He's an archbishop and he's the guy, he's from Argentina and he was the guy negotiating

00:40:15.920 this.

00:40:17.320 He, he writes, if I may quote from your article, um, he has said about China, quote, you don't

00:40:25.180 have shantytowns.

00:40:26.480 You don't have drugs.

00:40:28.080 Young people don't have drugs.

00:40:30.140 There's a positive national consciousness.

00:40:32.860 They want to show that they've changed.

00:40:34.700 They've already accepted private property, end quote.

00:40:39.440 Wow.

00:40:42.280 Yeah.

00:40:43.240 Breathtaking.

00:40:44.240 Breathtaking.

00:40:45.640 So the, you make the case that the Pope likes communists because he only knows communists

00:40:54.820 that have been persecuted.

00:40:56.140 Yeah, I think that, uh, and Cardinal Zen says the same thing in his piece that he wrote for

00:41:03.600 the New York time.

00:41:04.340 I think the key paragraph in his whole, uh, article is Francis may have natural sympathy

00:41:10.960 for communists.

00:41:11.760 I'm quoting him now because for him, they are the persecuted.

00:41:14.240 He doesn't know them as the persecutors, uh, once they become in power, like the communists

00:41:19.080 in China.

00:41:19.640 So I think what we have here with Pope Francis is the inverse of Pope John Paul II.

00:41:24.980 Pope John Paul II grew up after the communist revolution.

00:41:29.520 He grew up after all the rhetoric and once they're in power and all he sees is persecution.

00:41:35.040 So John Paul II has a very staunch, uh, position against communism.

00:41:39.520 Whereas Pope Francis, he grows up during the revolution where communists are saying, oh,

00:41:44.100 we're for the poor.

00:41:45.000 We love the poor.

00:41:46.080 And of course, the right-wing military governments that they're opposing are angels either.

00:41:51.300 And so he views communism through that lens.

00:41:55.200 And I think that's what's, uh, sort of spurning him, uh, to have a, spurring him to have this

00:42:03.520 soft, warm spot for them and not, uh, seeing it for, for what it is.

00:42:09.740 Because the church has, uh, throughout centuries, uh, throughout the 20th century condemned communism

00:42:16.420 as an evil ideology and socialism as an evil ideology.

00:42:20.300 It's not just a matter of practice.

00:42:22.800 It deprives people of private property.

00:42:25.380 It's why I, I think it was, I can't remember now.

00:42:28.180 I'm wrong on this.

00:42:29.700 Pope Leo, who was, who was the so-called Hitler's Pope?

00:42:32.900 It wasn't Leo.

00:42:33.660 It was, uh, that, well, Hitler, they say pious, uh, pious. 0.91

00:42:38.980 Yeah.

00:42:39.100 Pope pious, but that, that was, he was not Hitler's Pope.

00:42:42.760 That was disinformation from the former Soviet union.

00:42:47.640 The communists hate, uh, uh, Catholics.

00:42:51.380 They hate them.

00:42:52.760 Now this Pope is getting into bed with them.

00:42:56.220 Yes.

00:42:57.740 Yes.

00:42:58.020 I think that, uh, I think that's very clear with the, uh, with this Chinese deal.

00:43:02.220 What does this mean, uh, to the, the Christians and the Catholics in China?

00:43:09.100 In real life.

00:43:11.360 There's a few.

00:43:12.160 Well, if it means for them, I mean, certainly China is not stopping their persecution of 0.93

00:43:18.220 them.

00:43:18.420 They've destroyed several churches and they've leveled several Marian shrines.

00:43:22.060 I mean, even after this deal was signed, uh, for them, they're just going to be persecuted.

00:43:26.360 And I think they are going to, I think their morale is going to be lower because unlike the

00:43:30.980 communists, uh, in Eastern Europe during the time of Pope John Paul II, they felt like they

00:43:35.220 had a moral leader.

00:43:35.940 And I don't think they're going to feel that.

00:43:37.400 And I think that it's, it's, it's going to harm them ultimately in the end.

00:43:42.400 Paul, are you Catholic?

00:43:44.520 Yes.

00:43:45.060 Yes, I am.

00:43:45.560 And I don't want to, I want to clarify.

00:43:47.460 I, I very much, uh, believe in the, the Holy See and very much believe in the, you know,

00:43:52.680 the chair of Peter.

00:43:53.360 And my criticism here of Pope Francis is simply as a statesman, uh, and as an administrator.

00:43:59.520 Uh, and I think that's what the majority of criticism towards Pope Francis in recent

00:44:03.580 weeks with the recent letter by Archbishop Vigano, uh, and the scandals that have been

00:44:08.180 rocking Rome have been about.

00:44:09.960 So, okay.

00:44:11.280 So I, I wanted to ask you if you're a Christian because I are a Catholic, because I know you

00:44:15.340 are, um, but I wanted to make sure that people know that you are a, a strong Catholic.

00:44:20.660 You're not one of these, you know, sideline Catholics like I used to be.

00:44:24.680 You're a strong Catholic.

00:44:26.160 So let me ask you this question.

00:44:27.660 I do not mean offense by it.

00:44:29.780 Um, but I see the way this Pope is behaving here on, you know, on our continent with, uh,

00:44:39.060 the scandal of the, the children.

00:44:41.640 And I just don't understand it.

00:44:44.160 I see how he's come out against capitalism and, and he does not seem to be a friend of

00:44:50.880 freedom.

00:44:51.320 Now with this in China, are you concerned that this is, that this guy is, uh, not real Francis

00:45:01.980 like?

00:45:02.420 Uh, I certainly am.

00:45:06.380 Uh, I certainly think, uh, his actions in, in recent, uh, weeks, uh, have certainly shown

00:45:13.580 that, uh, with, uh, I mean, regarding the child sex abuse scandal, he accepted Cardinal

00:45:20.120 Worrell of Washington DC's resignation after several weeks.

00:45:23.500 Uh, and he sent him off with a very glowing, uh, letter and notes.

00:45:27.940 Uh, and of course, I don't know how familiar you are with the Archbishop Vigano, uh, gave

00:45:33.560 a very detailed, uh, accounts, uh, accusing Pope Francis of having, uh, taken sanctions off

00:45:39.320 Cardinal McCarrick that were imposed upon him by, uh, Pope Benedict.

00:45:43.100 And I think those allegations have very, uh, seem very credible after, uh, several weeks

00:45:48.660 of investigation and still he has not given any public statement on it.

00:45:53.820 It's been lots of gaslighting, uh, from the people in his circle.

00:45:57.040 So I, I am very concerned about Pope Francis as, uh, an administrator, uh, and, uh, as a

00:46:04.980 leader of the church right now.

00:46:06.300 Um, Paul, thank you so much.

00:46:07.720 I'm out of time, but please stay in touch with me because, uh, I, I'm, I'm fascinated.

00:46:11.580 The Pope plays a huge role in today's world, uh, and, uh, he is, uh, he's almost a tipping

00:46:18.220 point in some ways.

00:46:20.020 And, uh, I, I, I really enjoy talking to devout Catholics about it, uh, who just, just don't

00:46:26.460 have an ax to grind.

00:46:27.700 So thank you so much, Paul.

00:46:28.860 I appreciate it.

00:46:29.580 You bet.

00:46:30.160 Thank you so much for having me on.

00:46:31.620 You bet.
