Hi, it's Glenn Beck, and it's that time of year when the housing market starts to pick up steam.

you need to get a jump on the rest of the market.

00:02:13.980
Well, whatever your politics, you can't deny that Jon Stewart has a history of attacking
00:02:18.640
the hypocrisy and high ideals of journalism for his, you know, subversive approach to media
00:02:28.140
Does that mean anything in the era of President Donald Trump?
00:02:33.120
In post-Kavanaugh confirmation hearing world, does anything even matter?
00:02:39.660
Remember, Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle sat down with CNN's Christiane Anambour.
00:02:54.000
The cash flow in the Trump era for, for these TV stations and for these.
00:02:59.140
Can I say that might have been an issue and maybe it still is an issue for the people who
00:03:02.700
are the bean counters, but we, the journalists, we, the journalists, I mean, smite the bean
00:03:09.440
counters, because we're, and I like to use the word smite or smoke, because I am a high
00:03:20.640
Can I say that might have been an issue and maybe it still is an issue for the people who
00:03:24.220
are the bean counters, but we, the journalists, we, I think, believe that our job is to navigate
00:03:30.880
the truth and to do the fact-checking and all the rest of it.
00:03:33.420
So I think that's what motivates a lot of people.
00:03:34.960
But I think the journalists have taken it personally.
00:03:37.300
They're personally wounded and offended by this man.
00:03:42.680
And what he's done well, I thought, is appeal to their own narcissism, to their own ego.
00:03:47.220
Because what he says is these are the, and the journalists stand up and say, we are noble,
00:03:54.440
And now he's changed the conversation to not that his policies are silly or not working
00:04:04.820
He's, he's able to tune out everything else and get people just focused on the fight.
00:04:12.300
And how dare you say that we are, we are offended.
00:04:17.840
Of course we're offended because he's saying we are the enemy.
00:04:30.740
He is very powerful in the way he has persuaded so many people with The Daily Show.
00:04:40.020
I don't know how he would handle the job today.
00:04:42.940
In this environment, when Trump is president, the press has an ugly infatuation with him,
00:04:51.460
It's one thing to say those things when you're not in the daily sausage making business.
00:04:57.540
Because he can be aloof and say, you know what, you guys are, you guys are being fools and idiots.
00:05:14.300
There is this stalkerish fixation on Donald Trump and this fixation on just doing, so we've got to destroy him.
00:05:26.720
And they are completely unwilling to admit that they are inarguably a massive reason he rose to power in the first place.
00:05:39.080
I mean, does anybody not roll their eyes when they, when she comes up?
00:05:44.700
And he's like, oh, okay, yeah, this is gonna be fair.
00:05:47.340
It's the mostly, you know, bi-coastal media elites who act as if they are the voice of America.
00:06:00.520
Did you go to some university to get your degree on what America really thinks?
00:06:09.280
America, I'm here to tell you that your suspicions are correct.
00:06:17.780
We're in with all of the, you know, over-educated.
00:06:24.080
And in fact, I went to a better college than you do.
00:06:41.400
Now more than ever, comedians are rebuking the journalists?
00:06:50.200
You know, the one thing is, if we could just detach just a little bit from it, this is really kind of fun and interesting to watch.
00:07:15.460
Tonight, we're going to be in Richmond, Virginia.
00:07:23.460
You know, we've been promising a lot of really good stuff.
00:07:26.220
We have absolutely no idea if any of it's going to work.
00:07:33.660
Every candidate that's going to be in your town saying that you should vote for them, we're going to promise a lot of things.
00:07:37.500
Yeah, we're promising this is going to be a great show.
00:07:43.360
Now, tomorrow in Hershey, we'll be able to tell you.
00:07:45.440
It's the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of stage shows.
00:07:49.080
Yeah, because she's promising a lot and has no idea whether it's going to work.
00:08:11.820
We should do cholesterol tests at every stop, considering the restaurants we're planning to frequent on this trip.
00:08:17.400
This is really an excuse just to eat at, you know, to have, you know, to be able to feel America.
00:08:27.380
To be able to eat in the restaurants that you eat in, like Pittsburgh, Permanentis.
00:08:32.940
I mean, you don't think we're going to have a Permanentis sandwich?
00:08:38.580
And like for any, you know, IRS agent that happens to be listening, obviously this is for the tour and it's part of this business.
00:08:44.380
But it's nice that we get to expense all these food trips.
00:08:48.560
I mean, is there a reason Hershey, Pennsylvania is on the?
00:08:58.680
And some of the products that they have available right there.
00:09:05.700
If you've never driven through Hershey, Pennsylvania.
00:09:13.480
So, Stu, there's a couple of things that I just want to pass by and ask you.
00:09:19.680
By the way, Bill O'Reilly is coming on in about 45 minutes.
00:09:26.240
He just says he doesn't like talking to you on Fridays.
00:09:33.800
I think that this week and next week, I don't remember what it was this week.
00:09:36.880
Next week because of the election, he's going to be here for election reaction on Wednesday.
00:09:46.640
Have you been following at all the death of the two Saudi students in New York?
00:09:59.660
Just my spider senses are tingling on this one.
00:10:03.260
So, these two young students from Saudi Arabia, they live in Virginia.
00:10:09.340
And they apply for asylum here in the United States.
00:10:14.020
You know, they're over here and they're like, you know, I kind of like this place.
00:10:24.600
So, they apply for asylum here in the United States.
00:10:27.400
And then, suddenly, completely unconnected, they disappear.
00:10:33.980
And they disappear in the Saudis, you know, issue a war.
00:10:41.840
Can you help us look really, really hard for them?
00:10:46.520
Just don't dig in this backyard when you're looking.
00:10:52.060
So, these two Virginia girls, students that had just applied for asylum here in the United States,
00:10:59.920
They were actually found by the river in New York.
00:11:07.380
Now, they were found, you know, at the river in New York.
00:11:15.000
But the Saudis want to say, there's no signs of trauma at all.
00:11:29.240
But they were duct-taped facing each other, unable to move their arms and their legs.
00:11:49.360
You know, they just might have duct-taped themselves together and said, let's go for a swim.
00:11:59.580
They don't know what happened to these young girls.
00:12:06.000
And they really want to get to the bottom of it.
00:12:08.880
This stuff is sort of beginning to feel like we're witnessing the rise of another really dark force, nation, globally.
00:12:24.200
Like, where Saudi Arabia has never been a great country that we'd all aspire to imitate.
00:12:29.120
However, they've been, you know, an ally on economy issues.
00:12:34.360
And with this new prince, it seems like they're going into a much darker path than even they had before.
00:12:44.540
They dismember a guy who walks into the Saudi Arabian embassy.
00:12:54.640
Because I can't imagine, you know, the Saudis just putting a tarp down there to, you know, catch all the blood on the carpet as they dismember him while he's alive.
00:13:06.040
Do we have proof that they're doing this a lot?
00:13:09.020
Now the two Saudi students that wash up on the side of the river, they were just duct taped together.
00:13:17.620
Yeah, and look, we shouldn't be mesmerized that Saudi Arabia is violent against its enemies, right?
00:13:25.660
But, like, the brashness of doing one of these in a Turkish embassy to a relatively famous person, another one in the United States, if it, again, this one isn't proof, we should point that out.
00:13:37.480
Yeah, we don't know what happened to these girls.
00:13:40.400
I probably wouldn't even suspect Saudi Arabia if it wasn't for, you know, the asylum and the cutting up of another person in another country.
00:13:50.540
And let's not forget, by the way, the prince took many members of his own family and other princes hostage, kidnapped them, kept them in a, in a, now, you know, if you're going to be kidnapped, you want to be kidnapped in a Four Seasons.
00:14:04.540
But they were kidnapped in a Four Seasons, basically forced to stay there, while they stole what looks like billions of dollars.
00:14:11.400
Yeah, just took all of their money, took their jets.
00:14:13.660
I mean, the dismembered guy, that came home on a jet that he had just confiscated from, you know, a friend or a family member.
00:14:23.620
And remember, too, the, the, with the Khashoggi thing, they not only did all this stuff, killed the guy, denied it at first, came up with other excuses.
00:14:32.800
They also dressed someone up that looked like him in his clothes and had him walk around the city so later on they could catch him on, on cameras and say, oh, no, he left a long time ago.
00:14:48.460
I mean, that is, okay, so the guy is cut up and another guy happens to walk in the hallway and see all of his clothes and like, these are nice.
00:15:08.760
Now that beard happens to look like the beard of the other guy.
00:15:14.680
And he may have even wanted to be captured on camera because he's like, these clothes look pretty hot on me.
00:15:22.100
Perhaps he was just identifying as Khashoggi that day, right?
00:15:26.620
He just happened to feel as if he was the person who had just been murdered in the other room.
00:15:30.860
These two girls, let's say, let's say they, one of them said, hey, let's see how, let's see if we could take this duct tape and just pull it off of the roll and see how long it really is.
00:15:46.840
And so it starts and then they're on the bridge.
00:15:49.260
Of course, you do these experiments on a bridge over the river and they're doing it.
00:15:54.020
And all of a sudden the wind blows and they kind of are caught up in like a little tornado thing.
00:16:11.300
That's about that is about the level of sophistication that the Saudis there.
00:16:15.880
What's great is we're going to catch them on all these things because they're doing them outside of their country, inside of their country.
00:16:22.860
Nobody says anything because they're like, I don't want to be killed outside.
00:16:27.240
They're not used to somebody going, hey, did you just cut that guy up?
00:16:46.660
Remind me, I want to talk to you about 1933 and something that I learned just recently that's fascinating.
00:16:53.840
And the new technology, the drone technology here in the United States.
00:17:04.360
Now, I just got an email from somebody last night who said, Glenn, I don't understand cryptocurrency.
00:17:11.580
I don't understand why this is happening, why this is a big deal.
00:17:20.380
It took me about two years to kind of get my arms around this.
00:17:23.900
Then I met Tika Tuari, and we asked him, because he's one of the leading experts on it.
00:17:29.460
And we asked him, could you do a course on cryptocurrency and on blockchain just to explain it so people understand it?
00:17:38.800
Then you can make your decision of, you know, am I going to invest in this?
00:17:41.360
Do I think this is the future, et cetera, et cetera?
00:17:44.880
I think everybody should have 100 bucks at least into some sort of cryptocurrency.
00:17:55.660
Guy wrote me last night, and I said, just go here.
00:18:05.920
It will explain everything that you need to know just so you're educated on what tomorrow looks like.
00:18:16.840
So I want to get to this 1933 thing here in a second, but I just have to give you one more Saudi story.
00:18:22.240
You know, the prince is really opening that country up.
00:18:25.460
And, you know, okay, so they dismembered a guy.
00:18:27.400
But look at what they're doing for women and everything else.
00:18:32.760
And, you know, apparently in Saudi Arabia, they don't like Halloween.
00:18:36.480
Now, maybe that's because the monster mash has a different, you know, connotation.
00:18:41.140
Here in Saudi Arabia is like, is the prince, he's a monster.
00:18:52.760
17 workers have been detained at a party in a private compound at the Philippine Saudi Arabian embassy.
00:19:01.900
You know, everybody was dressed up in, you know, costumes and blah, blah, blah.
00:19:07.420
And the Saudis, I mean, they know how to have a good time.
00:19:25.740
So they've charged these women because they were unattached women and they were together with men in public holding a house event.
00:19:41.220
And the the ambassador has said, you know, everyone's reminded to avoid mixed crowds and consuming liquor and holding public practice of traditions that are associated with religions other than Islam, like Halloween.
00:19:56.760
And so they were, you know, they've they've they've since been released temporarily and we're not sure what's what's what's going to happen yet.
00:20:08.200
But I want to remind you that it's the white male that is the terror of the world really right now.
00:20:29.520
So I've been reading a lot about fascism and communism and how it all started.
00:20:36.400
Fascism was a Mussolini thing begins 1915 and 1922.
00:20:42.460
He has already fought in the World War and he realizes communism isn't the thing because nobody was in World War One fighting for, you know, anything other than their
00:20:56.080
They weren't fighting for the international workers.
00:21:00.740
And in 1922, he starts fascism and it begins in Italy.
00:21:05.420
So Mussolini, when he does this, he becomes this hero all around the world.
00:21:13.680
They think this is great because it's science and a strong man and you can move quicker to the future.
00:21:22.540
But I'm looking at the number of countries that go fascist or have big, huge fascist, fascistic movements in their country.
00:21:32.860
In the 1920s, there's only about three or four of them.
00:21:54.340
And I want to share the ending of this with you.
00:21:57.760
And then we'll get into the no, I meant what I said when I said we got to stop demonizing people and realize that it's the white man who is the big terrorist in the world.
00:22:16.740
So I was doing some research on a project that I'm working on, and I was looking into fascism and communism and the roots and how things really start to take hold.
00:22:29.700
He's credited as being the father of the fascist movement, 1915.
00:22:34.360
But I think it really 1922 is when it really gels.
00:22:38.380
And he says, no, it's it's it's better than communism because communism is about the workers of the world.
00:22:48.880
Everybody, including the United States and everybody in the press and all the progressives and everything else.
00:23:48.360
The United States even has a fascistic movement in 1933.
00:23:57.740
No one was interested in that until there was economic strife.
00:24:04.700
The minute the Great Depression hit, this idea was out there.
00:24:13.660
And then in 1945, once the war is over and all of the dead are counted, all of a sudden, all these movements go away.
00:24:35.420
Now we've got these democratic socialist things.
00:24:45.220
And you should shut up and sit down and keep quiet because that's not popular with the party.
00:24:51.660
We're in the same position that the world was in in the 1920s.
00:24:57.900
Please, Donald Trump, please, please, Mr. President, please stop with the trade war.
00:25:06.700
It is already taken and wiped out all of the tax cuts.
00:25:13.800
Let's go to Pat, who's joining us now from Pat Unleashed.
00:25:19.560
He's unleashed, you know, in the morning prior to this program.
00:25:30.740
You can't unleash him for more than a couple of hours every night.
00:25:34.440
What's what's well, you know, everything you've just said there is why I get so pissed off
00:25:39.220
every time I see a Beto sign on somebody's yard.
00:26:01.920
So right now, Florida is, I believe, one or two on the list of 50, the freest states.
00:26:14.760
If he gets into office, his proposals put them down in the low 40s from one or two to 47 or 48.
00:26:34.020
Every time I drive into my neighborhood, I see this Beto sign.
00:26:36.660
And so last night, we're out trick-or-treating with the kids and their kids.
00:26:44.620
And I'm like, they've probably poisoned their candy.
00:26:47.640
We should stop demonizing people, but these people are poisoned and candy.
00:26:56.080
So then she opens up her door, the woman of the house, and she's wearing a Beto for Senate T-shirt on top of it.
00:27:07.840
You're even going to, to all your neighbors, you know every single one of them is a Ted Cruz fan.
00:27:13.800
And so it's just an in-your-face to everybody in this neighborhood.
00:27:18.180
An in-your-face to everybody in the neighborhood?
00:27:21.700
Well, dressing up as something that you're not.
00:27:24.360
You dress as something that you're not, and you decorate your house to make it the scariest damn house you can.
00:27:33.520
And I told Jackie, I'm going to go up and ask her if the $35,000 or $40,000 they're paying in property taxes
00:27:51.140
I thought domestic tranquility was more important.
00:27:53.920
There is a point where Pat unleashed is leashed, and it's with Jackie.
00:28:07.140
Yeah, those little, you know, those little New Year's things that you blow into.
00:28:12.980
So first of all, that's all we heard the rest of the night from my grandkids.
00:28:16.860
Secondly, I'm sure they don't believe in candy.
00:28:29.000
And what about the obesity epidemic in this country?
00:28:37.960
I remember because and you're too young, but Pat, you'll remember this.
00:28:41.660
Do you remember going to people's houses before the big fake scare on Halloween and you would
00:29:02.840
When I was really young, we did not get store-bought and candy.
00:29:06.040
You you would go to house to house and people would make stuff.
00:29:14.460
I remember there was some lady like that Beto voter.
00:29:19.560
She was an old lady and she lived there and she thought she was going to be the good doer
00:29:24.460
of there and she would give us toothbrushes every year.
00:29:28.480
And she would give us a toothbrush and she would say, stop it.
00:29:35.240
Here's a toothbrush and I'll have another one for you next year.
00:29:38.820
And I remember looking at her going, I ain't coming back here next year.
00:29:45.180
It's also interesting, you know, that you bring up the the thing that never happened.
00:29:49.260
The you know, there was no never a razor blade in anybody's apple.
00:29:59.780
And it was a dad who killed his own children for the insurance money.
00:30:07.100
And he was executed for that crime like right away.
00:30:18.020
It seemed that's at least that's what I read yesterday.
00:30:24.920
And that's the only known documented case of candy poisoning.
00:30:28.920
But there's never been, to my knowledge, ever been a razor blade.
00:30:32.640
Why would there be a razor blade in somebody's apple at Halloween?
00:30:38.100
You'd have to be like trick or treating at Charlie Manson's house.
00:30:45.520
And the pixie stick thing is amazing because he put, I don't know what
00:30:50.500
He put cyanide in the pixie sticks for his own children.
00:31:00.840
He said, not tonight, kids, but you can have one pixie stick.
00:31:05.820
And he put the pixie stick and they down the pixie stick.
00:31:26.480
I mean, ever since then, you didn't trust anybody.
00:31:34.180
Well, you threw away anything that didn't come from a store, first of all.
00:31:37.340
Anything that wasn't prepackaged, you threw it away.
00:31:39.420
I remember as a kid, as a kid, looking at those things, because we grew up every there were people that made great stuff.
00:31:48.000
And you would be like, oh, no, Mrs. Olsen, she's made this.
00:32:05.000
Like, you know, maybe, you know, somehow tore it as you put it into the bag.
00:32:10.120
As if, like, if you're injecting poison into something, like, it's the rip.
00:32:14.180
They're going to rip it open and then inject the poison instead of just poking a needle hole through the actual wrapper.
00:32:27.680
It was one story made by the media, pushed out into the media because it sold newspapers, it got television coverage, then it distorted and twisted into stuff that wasn't true.
00:32:48.400
I mean, to the point where they even had emergency rooms.
00:33:12.080
It's like the precursor to social media urban legends, right?
00:33:15.420
I mean, it's the same concept, but now it's so much easier and so many more believe them.
00:33:19.920
It would probably be really hard to start that fake rumor back in 1982 or whatever, late 70s.
00:33:27.680
When that became the thing where you had to go get your X-ray, your candy X-rayed.
00:33:31.720
Now, you put it out there and within a week, everyone believes it.
00:33:35.460
Well, it's because this is the blessing and the curse.
00:33:38.780
In the old days, all you needed was a legitimate story on Walter Cronkite that nobody really saw.
00:33:46.100
And they heard this story and then word of mouth.
00:34:00.220
Is somebody going to take the time to go to the library and look up the Houston Chronicle to find the story?
00:34:08.480
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, wait a minute.
00:34:17.000
And they're going to spend a day and they'll read it and they'll know everything about that story.
00:34:21.080
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.
00:34:42.660
Go to the library and ask for them to send a copy of the.
00:34:45.420
No, 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.
00:35:04.700
Think of any of these stories that are out there.
00:35:07.300
Think of now how many sources have said Donald Trump is responsible for the shooting in Pittsburgh.
00:35:19.480
And that's going to be that will be in our history books.
00:35:26.540
By the way, I don't want to disseminate fake news.
00:35:30.900
Ronald O'Brien, the candy man, was executed in 84, not 74.
00:35:36.840
I was going to say, even for Texas, that's pretty efficient.
00:35:50.120
You don't think I'm asking that about Bill O'Reilly as well?
00:35:57.000
Let me talk to you a little bit about CarShield.
00:36:00.200
You know, if you have a car that is lapsed in its warranty, it's out of warranty, you know.
00:36:13.280
Make that part to last about four years and two weeks.

The minute your warranty expires, everything goes wrong.
00:36:21.520
CarShield is there for you to extend that coverage to make sure that you are covered when something goes wrong with your car.

They pay the mechanic so you can take it to the dealership or your favorite mechanic.
00:36:45.320
So if you take your car in for an oil change and they're like, oh, we found something else.

00:37:25.600
But usually once I take off my jacket, everybody leaves.
00:37:29.100
So you don't have to worry about that with the kids.
00:37:31.420
You could bring kids if you want to bring your friends, bring your neighbors.
00:37:36.480
And and we're we're going to be tackling some issues, too.
00:37:40.120
We have some programs for the Democratic Socialists because I'm a helper and I'm going to be helping
00:37:46.180
I've got a few slogans and a few things for the 2020 campaign that I think going to be
00:37:52.080
helpful, going to be helpful tonight in Richmond, Virginia, tomorrow, Hershey, Pennsylvania,
00:37:57.440
Saturday in Pittsburgh and Sunday in Cleveland.
00:38:02.120
Haven't been on the road for five or six years.
00:38:04.080
And everybody is saying, wow, he's let himself go.
00:38:09.440
And so you don't want to miss that at Glenbeck dot com slash tour.
00:38:15.140
I almost feel like when you walk out on stage, just they use my hearing in unison.
00:38:19.840
He's just really let himself go by like thousands of people all at the same time.
00:38:35.780
Also, we're coming to Florida in what the next week or the week after that.
00:38:52.560
We have Bill O'Reilly where we can pick the brain of a giant.
00:38:57.900
And he's on the program now a day early because I don't know.
00:39:02.980
He can't get up early tomorrow or he wants to sleep in.
00:39:05.840
He's got jammies and he wants to play with his dog.
00:39:08.560
I'm not sure, but he's made time for all of us now.
00:39:17.180
So I'm on the road tomorrow and I wanted to give you and Stu my undivided attention.
00:39:26.820
And it's not the most informed analyst in America.
00:39:41.520
You know, I think the frenzy of the media covering the elections is worth talking about.
00:39:53.100
Because, you know, they got a lot invested in this, the national media.
00:39:58.460
Hollywood is making a push like I have not seen before.
00:40:05.920
You know, it's interesting because there isn't one Hollywood star now that can open a movie.
00:40:12.060
It used to be Clint Eastwood or John Wayne or, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:40:18.080
They could open movies and people would just go to see the film because they were in it.
00:40:24.140
There isn't any buddy out there of superstar stature.
00:40:28.280
So thus you're left with Robert De Niro cursing and, you know, guys who haven't showered in five days.
00:40:43.040
Oprah is going to be on the tour with Mrs. Obama.
00:41:02.600
But getting back to your original brilliant question, what do you want to talk about?
00:41:08.520
And you must have studied, or you and Stu discussed that for about three hours.
00:41:13.480
It's the national media has so much on the line here.
00:41:17.760
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?
00:41:33.420
Well, I mean, they're just slammed to the ground.
00:41:44.440
America is even more racist than we thought, even with the shooting and the bombing.
00:41:53.560
Oh, I know that, but they won't see that coming.
00:41:56.380
You started to attack the messenger in the sense that people have to either buy your newspaper or watch you on television.
00:42:08.800
And, you know, it is a tribalism thing now, particularly on television news.
00:42:13.040
Whatever tribe you're in, that's the station you watch.
00:42:16.340
Did you guys see the study that came out that 89% of CNN viewers vote Democrat?
00:42:24.700
That came out, and 95% of Fox News viewers, 95%.
00:42:31.900
When I was there and you were there, it was not like that.
00:42:35.240
And so now it's, you know, my tribe has this channel.
00:42:39.200
And then all the networks had very high Democrat voting people.
00:42:44.100
But I see, and I don't think anybody else is really following this,
00:42:49.580
I think if Trump is reelected and the Republicans maintain control,
00:42:56.560
that the national media in this country is going to explode in a bad way for them.
00:43:04.680
Because they are as crazed, and that's the word, as I have ever seen in my 45 years in journalism.
00:43:13.240
So we've never seen people, they're like foaming at the mouth deck.
00:43:21.460
This week, Don Lemon said, we have to stop demonizing people and realize that the real
00:43:29.980
terrorists in this country are white males, mainly on the right.
00:43:37.220
If you or Stu or me said, the real threat are black males on the left, what if we had said that?
00:43:51.560
So we would have been fired and hung and whipped and every, and then tied to a stake with twigs and burned.
00:44:03.260
Why can Don Lemon say that about a portion of the American population?
00:44:11.940
Because they know Don and they know he's not a racist.
00:44:15.940
And, you know, we also know what's going on in the country.
00:44:24.040
Now, if the press were fair and looking for the truth, they would cover Don Lemon like they covered Megyn Kelly.
00:44:37.540
So therefore, people who aren't engaged, and that's most people in the media, they don't know Don.
00:44:44.640
Go out today in Dallas and say, hey, what do you think of Don Lemon?
00:44:51.960
But the media could have destroyed him, could have said that's a racist statement.
00:44:57.240
I don't believe that Don Lemon's a racist because I never call people racist unless they're members of the Klan of the Nazi Party.
00:45:09.940
We're in a country now where the truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:45:14.820
So, Bill, I know I'm asking you to speculate, which you never do, but you're looking at the polls.
00:45:26.780
What do you think is coming for election night?
00:45:33.460
That up late, you know, it's in places like Montana, in Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, in the Senate races, this is just airtight.
00:45:52.500
So I believe that the Senate will maintain its Republican status and maybe the GOP will pick up two seats.
00:45:59.900
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.
00:46:06.960
But the Republicans have to defend so many more seats than Democrats just by the odds, just by that.
00:46:15.180
You would say the Democrats should be very close to a majority in the House.
00:46:19.020
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.
00:46:29.220
If it's 20, 25 seats on the Democratic Party, then you're going to have gridlock for two years.
00:46:35.100
And even if it's four, you're going to have hearings and investigations and nonstop, don't you think?
00:46:40.960
I doubt it because from my read of the Mueller investigation.
00:46:47.720
Yeah, and he's not even going to issue a report.
00:46:52.840
Mueller's not even going to tell the American public what he found or didn't find.
00:46:58.080
No, it was supposed to be issued right after the election.
00:47:03.400
He, according to my sources, which are impeccable, he's going to fall back on this was a criminal investigation.
00:47:12.060
We're not bringing charges against anybody in the Trump administration.
00:47:21.820
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.
00:47:36.480
So for $17 million, that's what we're going to get.
00:47:40.900
However, the inspector general in the Justice Department has to issue his report of whether the FBI intentionally booted the Russian collusion investigation.
00:47:54.520
Now, he has to get specific, but he'll do what he did the last time.
00:47:58.980
He'll go, you know, it doesn't look real good, but, you know, we can't really prove it.
00:48:05.620
So the way our bureaucracy works, you very rarely get anybody who utters a declarative sentence and points a finger.
00:48:17.620
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?
00:48:25.060
No, I mean, if that happens, that's Armageddon for Trump.
00:48:30.200
If they take the House and it's, do you think it's more likely that it's 25 or three?
00:48:40.240
What does the country look like a year from now with, you know, a house that is controlled by the Democrats?
00:48:49.680
I just don't think it's going to be that big a deal.
00:48:52.180
I don't think that the Democratic Party is going to launch articles of impeachment because they'll lose the presidential race in 2020.
00:49:02.100
And I just don't see the leadership, such as it is of the Democratic Party, wanting Donald Trump re-elected president.
00:49:11.120
And if you're going to, you know, put up a Kavanaugh situation against Trump, you're assuring his re-election because he's got 45 percent of the electorate now.
00:49:26.040
You do anything crazy, you push him easily into 55.
00:49:29.620
You know, look, people think that there are all these secular progressives, all these progressives running around.
00:49:39.620
But their voices are heard because the media acts in concert with them.
00:49:48.520
You know, they just want to have a government that functions well so they have opportunity and raise their kids and work hard.
00:50:01.760
And, you know, I mean, in New Jersey, that's a race I'm watching.
00:50:06.920
I want to go to the New Jersey and then I want to go to the governor's race in Florida because what you just said kind of doesn't work in Florida.
00:50:18.140
And we'll talk to Bill O'Reilly about that when we come back from BillOReilly.com.
00:50:22.740
And don't forget his new book, Killing the SS, fantastic book, available at bookstores everywhere.
00:50:32.240
Right now, you have the opportunity to get in front of price increases that are likely to happen if the Democrats win the House.
00:50:40.180
President Trump has been warning about the risks every American has if the Republicans lose one or both houses this November.
00:50:51.200
I disagree with Bill that he says it won't be really a bad thing.
00:51:02.080
Goldline has a must-read report on this and what you can expect if there is a Democratic victory.
00:51:08.100
You can get the report for free just by calling them.
00:51:10.720
I was out in their offices, I don't know, a couple months ago, and I saw them working on this report, and I was reading it.
00:51:14.760
And I was like, you got to share this with everybody.
00:51:16.000
Get this copy of Goldline's special midterm election report.
00:51:21.040
You can get it right now by calling 866-GOLDLINE.
00:51:27.260
Just get this report and share it with some friends.
00:51:45.540
Back with Mr. Bill O'Reilly, and we're talking about the elections next week, and Menendez, who is running in New Jersey.
00:51:55.100
Yeah, he's losing support fast, and if the Democrats lose New Jersey, that will be stunning.
00:52:03.560
And I just don't know, I used to live in New Jersey, how anybody could vote for Robert Menendez.
00:52:11.260
You know, I mean, this guy, he just, and it was a hung jury, just, just got in.
00:52:17.380
And then the Senate Ethics Committee hammered him, and then you're going to cast your ballot for this man?
00:52:27.160
And this is corruption, you know, this beyond any reasonable doubt.
00:52:31.680
See, and that is the thing, when you said, you know, people don't like corruption.
00:52:38.800
He's still got a five-point lead over the Republican challenger in New Jersey.
00:52:43.060
Now, that lead is shrinking, and the commercials are devastating here against Menendez.
00:52:50.700
So, I think that might go to the Republican column.
00:52:55.240
Stu, do you think, Stu is just really good at stats.
00:52:58.840
Yeah, I mean, we've been tempted so many times to believe that New Jersey is going to, you know, it's going to happen.
00:53:04.380
And it's really the only example of where it really has was the Christie election, when he beat Corzine.
00:53:13.640
I don't know if he will, but I'm, you know, hopeful.
00:53:18.460
In the other states that it's really tough is Arizona and Nevada.
00:53:24.220
Now, I said yesterday on the No Spin News, which, of course, is the newscast of record now in America,
00:53:33.220
Well, I said yesterday that I don't believe there's going to be a big African-American turnout for the midterms, you know, larger than usual, or Hispanic-American.
00:53:43.760
I could be wrong on a Hispanic-American thing because the caravan got their attention.
00:53:48.440
But the Kavanaugh thing, you know, that doesn't engage, generally speaking, people who are really trying to make ends meet and they're not watching cable and they're not reading the newspapers and not locked in.
00:54:08.160
So what is the thing – I mean, I know what's driving the ends, you know, the democratic socialism, stop Trump driving that, probably the caravan and Kavanaugh driving that.
00:54:24.320
What's driving the average person to go out and vote, Bill, do you think?
00:54:28.080
Well, the actual – I was debating a democratic pollster, and he actually agreed with me that minorities probably won't come out in great numbers.
00:54:38.240
But then he said, you know, these liberal white women in the suburbs are going to put the Dems over the top.
00:54:46.860
And what's driving people, the overwhelming issue in this country now is Donald Trump.
00:54:55.240
His supporters love him, they're engaged, they're energized, and they're going to go and vote straight Republican ticket.
00:55:05.060
And the people who don't like him are going to do the exact opposite.
00:55:08.500
So you can talk health care, you can talk the economy, you can talk the issues.
00:55:17.280
That's why he's running around everywhere to try to, you know, get his supporters to overwhelm his detractors.
00:55:33.160
Florida is not Manhattan, but he is now ahead by five points.
00:55:41.840
I think DeSantis is a bad candidate on the Republican side.
00:55:51.780
Gillum has got the Democratic establishment, lots of out-of-state money coming in.
00:55:58.120
So he can buy commercials in the populated zones.
00:56:00.980
The machine, the Democratic machine in Florida is very well organized in Orlando, Dade County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, and the Tampa area.
00:56:12.800
It doesn't seem like the Republicans are as organized.
00:56:15.920
Now, on the Senate race, I think the Governor Scott there, who's popular, has a shot if the people in a panhandle devastated by the hurricane can get it together and vote, because that's Republican territory.
00:56:31.120
I taught high school there, and it's not the way it was when I was there.
00:56:35.380
It's now a state that is very, very ideological.
00:56:41.460
Well, when you were there, though, I believe Cornelius Vanderbilt had just built the first railroad.
00:56:48.240
No, Ponce de Leon and I were very, very good friends.
00:56:52.080
Didn't know they had high school back then, but anyway.
00:57:04.900
But your audience, they have eyes, they can see you, and they can see me.
00:57:12.640
I mean, I am looking more and more like Colonel Sanders every day.
00:57:15.820
I mean, and now you've got chickens following you around.
00:57:28.020
Were you happy with the way the day went yesterday?
00:57:31.940
Yes, it seems like an odd question, but yes, I was.
00:57:38.300
Did anybody shaving cream your house or anything?
00:57:45.980
I paid urchins to do it, so now I'm going to have to get my money.
00:57:49.420
Yeah, you're going to have to get your money back.
00:57:50.760
Yeah, you're going to have to get it because that didn't happen.
00:57:55.000
So we're going to take a quick break and then come back in a second.
00:58:00.960
No, I'm just doing some history stuff in Charleston.
00:58:18.140
And I want to thank you, by the way, Killing the SS Again, the New York Times, number one bestseller.
00:58:22.900
And, you know, you really had a lot to do with that by telling people it was a good book.
00:58:26.440
No, I mean, I throw a bone, you know, your way once in a while.
00:58:32.700
And if you say it's good, your audience believes.
00:58:38.920
Back with more of Bill O'Reilly and what is coming next week.
00:58:42.440
And a look back a little bit on what has happened.
00:58:45.200
We talk about Pittsburgh and the pipe bomber when we come back.
00:58:54.980
With Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com a day early.
00:59:00.760
As we head to Richmond, Virginia tonight, we're on stage in Richmond.
00:59:06.400
And then tomorrow in Hershey, Pennsylvania, just for the chocolate and the people.
00:59:14.120
And on Sunday, we are going to be in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:59:18.800
Tickets available at Glenn Beck.com slash tour.
00:59:21.540
Bill, let's talk about Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh shooting.
00:59:27.140
Let me instead start with a pipe bomb because that happened the day before.
00:59:32.040
So, you know, again, one of the reasons that you and I have a good rapport and then, you know,
00:59:38.880
we've been doing this now for almost a year and a half, is that we're both interested, I believe,
00:59:46.460
in what the truth is about each story that we cover.
00:59:51.120
So the truth is that individual loons, people who have neurosis or psychosis, all right,
01:00:05.380
From the dawn of mankind, if you read the Bible, Cain and Abel.
01:00:13.740
You cannot, as a society or a government or anything, eliminate this kind of behavior.
01:00:25.640
Now, that's where you start, on the pipe bomb thing, on the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.
01:00:42.940
If I may say, especially if you are only hanging out on your tribal site, if you are only being fed.
01:00:53.080
In a free society, you are allowed to hang wherever you want to hang.
01:00:58.340
So, again, you come back to the fact, can society or a government prevent any of this?
01:01:07.320
So that all of these liars and charlatans that you see on television and writing on the op-ed pages of the newspapers,
01:01:16.540
they are basically, and they know this, because any clear-thinking person can't argue with what you and I just put forth.
01:01:28.480
So they say, I don't really care what the truth is.
01:01:31.280
I'm going to inject gun control into this, or I'm going to inject white nationalism into it, or Donald Trump did it.
01:01:40.300
Even though I know that's a lie, and that I can't back it up, if I go up against O'Reilly or Beck, they'll destroy me in a debate.
01:02:08.060
It may be growing in certain areas, but I'm more hopeful on that front than you are.
01:02:13.380
Well, no, I see anti-Semitism always as the canary in the coal mine when a world starts to go to collectivism and Marxism.
01:02:32.480
Remember, we live in a politically correct society now, okay?
01:02:37.340
A society that demands that public school teachers don't even mention the Holocaust.
01:02:43.920
You can't even mention it in your classroom or risk getting, you know, scolded or some parent complaining, whatever.
01:02:53.260
That is horrible, but it actually helps in the sense that kids, right, they're not anti-Semitic.
01:03:02.320
I mean, unless their parents are insane inside the house, you don't see that.
01:03:07.920
You don't see white kids throwing rocks at black kids or vice versa.
01:03:11.680
So you don't see kids going, pointing at Jewish people and mocking them.
01:03:18.340
That doesn't happen because it's not acceptable in our society, and that is a good thing.
01:03:25.060
However, the big issue in America is what kind of a country do you, the voter, come out on Tuesday, want?
01:03:39.960
Do you want a country run by a party that accuses a president of stimulating the massacre in Pittsburgh?
01:03:51.020
Do you want a country where a party told you you can't have due process in the Kavanaugh hearings?
01:04:09.020
But I'm sitting there going, who am I going to vote for?
01:04:13.900
I don't want the president of the United States accused of being a collaborator in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.
01:04:22.540
If you have, yeah, if you had evidence that he was doing that and this guy was influenced, this guy hates Donald Trump.
01:04:37.460
It's I mean, you could say, and I think it's fair to say, with the with the pipe bomber, that guy is responsible and alone in the responsibility of those pipe bombs that were sent.
01:04:51.120
The guy is a loner, the guy is sick, and he alone is responsible for it, just like the guy who went to the baseball field, who was a Bernie Sanders worker, not a supporter, a Bernie Sanders worker.
01:05:04.800
That guy was the and nobody on the right and I know, yes, right, said, oh, the Democratic Party.
01:05:13.520
I mean, there were maybe a few far right loons did it, but I didn't see any mainstream coverage of that.
01:05:21.320
Oh, the Democratic Party, they made this guy go to shoot Scalise and the other Republicans on the ball field.
01:05:31.820
Why are we getting the left lying and putting out absurd statements that are taken seriously by CNN and The New York Times where the other side doesn't do it?
01:05:48.160
And I think this is why it just keeps ratcheting up higher and higher and higher.
01:05:52.280
The press is unwilling to see what they are contributing.
01:06:08.760
Stop saying things like, you know, the press is the enemy.
01:06:11.960
Let's find a new way to say what they're doing.
01:06:18.180
It's not going to make people kill people or anything else, but it's just not helpful.
01:06:28.040
They can't hear anything but their own voice and their own little bubble.
01:06:34.120
Yeah, that's what Jon Stewart, my pal, said to Christiane Amanpour, everyone.
01:06:46.440
And by narcissistic, that means you can never admit you're wrong.
01:06:51.560
So if you're and I think never admits they're wrong, you're narcissistic.
01:06:55.400
And I think it's also, well, how dare he say that we are the press and we are doing an important job and we are buttoned down and we would never do that.
01:07:06.680
Yeah, Stewart, a big liberal, huge liberal, but an honest man, which is why I associated with him.
01:07:15.280
He said, look, you know, the press is making a mockery out of what they're supposed to be doing, which is trying to find the truth.
01:07:23.460
That's the furthest thing from what the press wants to do now.
01:07:27.680
Now they want to destroy Donald Trump, destroy him, as they did Brett Kavanaugh.
01:07:31.820
So what you have now with the election is a fascinating thing.
01:07:37.700
So Americans go to the polls and they have a decision to make.
01:07:48.260
Do you want to give it to the left, which doesn't want due process, which will lie all day long about what's going on,
01:07:55.720
and which isn't interested in the truth but wants to destroy a president with whom they disagree?
01:07:59.620
What do you want to give it to the right, who maybe at times goes overboard in whatever they're pursuing,
01:08:07.200
but they're not trying to undermine the country as it stands now.
01:08:19.740
I think Democrats and Republicans, they both suck, and they're both engaging in much of the same stuff.
01:08:39.420
On the left, you have the radicals on the left, the democratic socialists,
01:08:43.820
that say they want to bring an end to capitalism.
01:08:47.040
Those guys on the alt-right and the left, that's not American.
01:08:54.800
That is literally undermining the capitalist system and America as we know it.
01:09:05.780
But I don't think that there, I think there's 70% of this country, the Democrats and the Republicans,
01:09:10.680
that just don't want anything to do with either one of those.
01:09:20.640
Do we know anybody who we would consider alt-right?
01:09:31.240
And, you know, the white nationalists, where are they?
01:09:35.720
I know the Chicago White Sox, but I don't know where the white, where are they?
01:09:55.300
An end to the Constitution, it is outdated, and an end to capitalism.
01:10:09.980
And you can find him every day at BillOReilly.com.
01:10:14.640
By the way, Bill's going to join us on Wednesday.
01:10:18.140
We might even want to get him on our election coverage on Tuesday night.
01:10:22.300
We've got great, great election coverage only on The Blaze.
01:10:29.080

01:11:03.480
I want to tell you a little bit about Filter By.
01:11:05.020
I, you know, I was embarrassed to tell a friend the other day.
01:11:09.240
I mean, I really find this, I find this amazing.
01:11:13.660
I've owned, I don't know how many houses in my life, you know, moving from town to town.
01:11:17.880
I realized the other day, and I think this is accurate.
01:11:24.140
I've bought a house, lived in it for a while, then sold it, never changed the air filter.
01:11:31.020
I mean, I think in my past, I would think to myself, you know, I'd rather just move than change it.
01:11:42.040
It's not that I don't want to go to Home Depot.
01:11:50.360
Filter By, America's leading provider for HVAC filters for homes and small businesses.
01:11:59.420
I mean, they have them here for our studios and the air handlers.
01:12:02.200
I mean, you could have dinner in our air handlers in this room or in this building, but they have them for that.
01:12:08.480
They have them for your house, 600 sizes, including custom.
01:12:28.900
You'll never forget to change your air filters because you've done it once and they arrive at your door and you just change it.
01:12:42.120
Be better to your HVAC system and change the air filter.
01:12:50.680
Tonight on television, Larry Sharp, governor of New York.
01:12:59.180
Or the guy who's running for governor of New York against Cuomo.
01:13:02.500
And for the life of me, I don't know why you wouldn't vote for this guy if you're Republican or independent.
01:13:07.420
And this weekend on the podcast, about 90 minutes with Sean Spicer, he told me before we started, he said, you know, my mother said that nothing good ever happens in an interview that lasts over 30 minutes.
01:13:26.660
It ran 90 minutes and he was laughing afterwards.
01:13:42.100
Some really interesting perspective from behind the scenes.
01:14:04.820
Oh, and also how he feels about Saturday Night Live and in particular McCarthy.
01:14:17.660

01:14:44.860
We have an election by the numbers coming up here.
01:14:48.320
And we also have a guy who has written a really interesting take from inside the Vatican that this Pope loves communism.
01:15:02.040
He's just not met a communist that he doesn't like in a very, very thoughtful and interesting interview coming up in in just a second.
01:15:14.460
We were having him on because I wanted to know what was the Pope thinking?
01:15:19.460
What is he thinking the way he's dealing with China and giving the Communist Party the right to appoint the bishops for the Catholic Church in China?
01:15:31.680
Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.
01:15:37.100
He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.
01:15:58.540
Five days, five days away, even though states are already voting.
01:16:03.240
Numbers are tightening up and they are coming out fast and furious.
01:16:06.800
So let's get the quick update here on the election from Stu.
01:16:11.240
So we've just a couple seats in the Senate based on recent polling.
01:16:21.360
We're leaning it back to Republican because of two polls that have come out that have solidified.
01:16:28.460
You know, again, these are tough, really tough races.
01:16:30.840
We only have three toss up races right now, which are Arizona, Indiana and Nevada.
01:16:40.540
If they win all of their leaners, they can get to 54 with the toss ups.
01:16:44.480
And after that, they're dipping into leaning Democrat.
01:16:47.680
Tell me which ways Arizona, Indiana, Nevada, which which where's the momentum left or right?
01:16:56.420
I mean, Arizona is as pure a toss up as it was as we have in the country right now.
01:17:10.640
Can we get Miss McSally on maybe tomorrow or Monday?
01:17:21.320
She's a remarkable woman, a remarkable person and a good candidate to has not had any gaffes
01:17:28.640
Her opponent, on the other hand, is called everybody in Arizona, a moron about a thousand
01:17:32.820
I know she says that, you know, it's the meth lab of democracy.
01:17:41.080
She's been a hardcore code pink level activist for most of her life.
01:17:49.100
I mean, she would lose this race on a normal year.
01:17:52.040
But it's, you know, the environment right now is leaning against Republicans.
01:17:56.200
We haven't had a normal year, I think, since the 80s.
01:18:16.820
So, I mean, I think 52-53 is a pretty legitimate hope for the Republicans.
01:18:24.700
Getting anywhere above, you know, getting near 60 is not at all really possible.
01:18:31.200
We don't really have a House model that we use.
01:18:34.200
But we wanted to look at prediction markets and see what they're saying.
01:18:37.340
These are now not polls, but prediction markets.
01:18:39.880
And for everyone, every time we do a segment on polls, people call, how can you trust the
01:18:43.660
Well, if you're so smart and you know better than the polls, go on these prediction sites
01:18:55.080
They were wrong because of the Electoral College.
01:18:58.140
Yeah, the national polls in 2016 predicted a 3.3% average win for Hillary Clinton, and
01:19:10.620
There was some state-level polling that was pretty bad in a couple of those states, particularly
01:19:14.060
like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and that was a big deal.
01:19:16.920
I mean, polls aren't perfect, but they were not terrible in 2016.
01:19:23.080
But the prediction markets say this, right now, prediction markets believe that about
01:19:28.500
150 seats are safe for Republicans, 195 are safe for Democrats.
01:19:35.320
When you add in leaners, you get to 211 for Democrats and 191 for Republicans, leaving in
01:19:43.620
Now, you have to get 218 seats to hold the majority.
01:19:46.120
So 211 if you're counting leaners for Democrats.
01:19:48.780
So they don't need a lot of these toss-up races.
01:19:50.920
If you break up the toss-up into pure win or loss, you know, if it's a one-tenth of a
01:19:56.280
point, you give it to one side or the other, it's 228 to 197 for Democrats.
01:20:01.660
So right now, prediction markets believe the Democrats will hold the House by, you know,
01:20:09.460
If you don't believe that, and you think the polls are wrong, go vote against it.
01:20:15.180
I mean, the prediction markets are, I think, are always the best because that's people
01:20:26.380
So on The Blaze, we're doing election night coverage with all of your favorite hosts and
01:20:32.340
some hosts from other networks and other channels and some of the favorite voices from around
01:20:47.480
Election coverage that you're not going to get on, you know, Fox or...
01:20:55.180
Well, we do have a chef coming in because Pat said something happens.
01:21:00.440
We have a chef who is going to be preparing underpants in various ways and we'll...
01:21:10.460
If Beto wins against Cruz, he would eat his underwear.
01:21:13.560
And I think he's right, but we just have to have somebody on hand to help him eat his underwear
01:21:24.500
He was a guy who got his start writing for Ben Shapiro in 2013.
01:21:29.740
He is known as Vox Dei for the Michael Knowles show.
01:21:36.460
And an article caught my eye that he wrote about the Chinese cardinals.
01:21:41.800
Pope Francis has a natural sympathy for communists.
01:21:45.180
And he makes some pretty strong statements here that I'm not hearing other people actually report.
01:21:53.300
Most people, if you're a Catholic or you know a lot of Catholics, most people are asking
01:21:59.160
these questions, but no one seems willing to answer them.
01:22:12.060
I mean, as soon as CNN said, oh my gosh, oh, this guy is wonderful.
01:22:16.780
I remember before the smoke had cleared the chimney, CNN was all over him.
01:22:26.000
And so we've been watching him and he has a tendency to not like capitalism.
01:22:31.660
He has a tendency to like statism, Marxism, et cetera, et cetera.
01:22:36.340
But what he's done in China is truly breathtaking.
01:22:44.120
Yeah, so essentially the deal in China, now the provisions of it haven't completely been
01:22:51.820
fully laid out, but the insiders close to the deal and people on the ground in China
01:22:57.200
have pretty much stated the Chinese communist government is going to have a role in selecting
01:23:04.020
bishops and the Pope is basically just going to have veto power.
01:23:08.120
And also the underground church in China is, who's faithful to the Holy See, is going
01:23:15.220
to join the official church in China that's recognized by the communist government.
01:23:21.320
And the 30 bishops that are associated with that are going to become a minority in the
01:23:28.680
Okay, so the only reason the Catholics really survive and are growing is because of the underground
01:23:36.740
church, and it's my understanding that having a foreign leader basically appoint your bishops
01:23:45.540
in the history, the 2,000-year history of the church, it's never happened.
01:23:54.040
I mean, we have in history, I mean, France, the French crown certainly played a role in selecting
01:24:00.460
bishops, but it never works out for the church when that happens.
01:24:07.520
I mean, certainly, yeah, or the people, and this certainly won't help the people in China
01:24:15.080
What is essentially going to happen is, I mean, China doesn't care about religion, so let's
01:24:21.360
just say, okay, the Pope has veto power on the bishops they appoint.
01:24:24.780
Like, okay, so let's say he vetoes it 10 times, what motivation does China have to give him
01:24:35.320
They have no motivation whatsoever to work with the Holy See.
01:24:39.440
And I want to correct something you just said, because I think it was a misunderstanding
01:24:49.460
They want to destroy religion and make it into a Chinese tool to bring you to communism.
01:25:01.240
I mean, they don't care if religion is doing well or if it's healthy.
01:25:05.620
They just, so what motivation do they have to work with the Pope to give him a bishop
01:25:13.060
So, in here, in your article, you talk about Marcelo Sanchez Sarando.
01:25:22.000
And he's the guy, he's from Argentina, and he was the guy negotiating this.
01:25:28.780
He writes, if I may quote from your article, he has said about China, quote, you don't have
01:25:46.240
They've already accepted private property, end quote.
01:25:57.160
So, you make the case that the Pope likes communists because he only knows communists
01:26:07.660
Yeah, I think that, and Cardinal Zen says the same thing in his piece that he wrote for the
01:26:16.180
I think the key paragraph in his whole article is, Francis may have natural sympathy for communists,
01:26:23.280
I'm quoting him now, because for him, they are the persecuted.
01:26:26.000
He doesn't know them as the persecutors once they become in power, like the communists in
01:26:31.160
So, I think what we have here with Pope Francis is the inverse of Pope John Paul II.
01:26:36.520
Pope John Paul II grew up after the communist revolution.
01:26:41.280
He grew up after all the rhetoric, and once they're in power, and all he sees is persecution.
01:26:46.300
So, John Paul II has a very staunch position against communism, whereas Pope Francis, he
01:26:52.540
grows up during the revolution where communists are saying, oh, we're for the poor, we love
01:26:57.040
the poor, and of course, the right-wing military governments that they're opposing aren't angels
01:27:02.340
And so, he views communism through that lens, and I think that's what's sort of spurring him
01:27:11.320
to have this soft, warm spot for them, and not seeing it for what it is, because the Church
01:27:21.880
has, throughout the centuries, throughout the 20th century, condemned communism as an evil
01:27:28.880
ideology, condemned socialism as an evil ideology.
01:27:36.920
It's why, I think, I can't remember now, I'm wrong on this, Pope Leo, who was the so-called
01:27:54.180
That was disinformation from the former Soviet Union.
01:28:09.220
Yes, I think that's very clear with this Chinese deal.
01:28:13.760
What does this mean to the Christians and the Catholics in China, in real life?
01:28:24.060
Well, it means for them, I mean, certainly China is not stopping their persecution of
01:28:29.940
They've destroyed several churches, and they've leveled several Marian shrines, even after
01:28:36.300
For them, they're just going to be persecuted, and I think they are going to, I think their
01:28:40.240
morale is going to be lower, because unlike the communists in Eastern Europe during the
01:28:44.940
time of Pope John Paul II, they felt like they had a moral leader, and I don't think
01:28:48.140
they're going to feel that, and I think it's going to harm them, ultimately, in the end.
01:28:58.680
I very much believe in the Holy See, and very much believe in the Chair of Peter, and
01:29:05.200
my criticism here of Pope Francis is simply as a statesman and as an administrator, and
01:29:11.780
I think that's what the majority of criticism towards Pope Francis in recent weeks, with
01:29:15.720
the recent letter by Archbishop Viganot, and the scandals that have been rocking Rome
01:29:22.280
Okay, so I wanted to ask you if you're a Christian, or a Catholic, because I know you are, but
01:29:28.100
I wanted to make sure that people know that you are a strong Catholic, you're not one of
01:29:33.200
these, you know, sideline Catholics, like I used to be.
01:29:37.760
So let me ask you this question, and I do not mean offense by it, but I see the way this
01:29:44.780
Pope is behaving here on, you know, on our continent with the scandal of the children,
01:29:55.700
I see how he's come out against capitalism, and he does not seem to be a friend of freedom.
01:30:02.840
Now, with this in China, are you concerned that this guy is not real Francis-like?
01:30:20.080
I certainly think his actions in recent weeks have certainly shown that with him regarding
01:30:28.980
the child sex abuse scandal, he accepted Cardinal Wuerl of Washington, D.C.'s resignation after
01:30:36.220
several weeks, and he sent him off with a very glowing letter and notes.
01:30:41.360
And, of course, I don't know how familiar you are with the Archbishop Vigano statement
01:30:46.160
that gave a very detailed account, accusing Pope Francis of having taken sanctions off Cardinal
01:30:53.140
McCarrick that were imposed upon him by Pope Benedict.
01:30:56.640
And I think those allegations have very, seem very credible after several weeks of investigation.
01:31:02.960
And still, he has not given any public statement on it.
01:31:07.220
It's been lots of gaslighting from the people in his circle.
01:31:10.600
So I am very concerned about Pope Francis as an administrator and as a leader of the Church
01:31:21.160
I'm out of time, but please stay in touch with me, because I'm fascinated.
01:31:24.960
The Pope plays a huge role in today's world, and he's almost a tipping point in some ways.
01:31:33.440
And I really enjoy talking to devout Catholics about it, who just don't have an axe to grind.
01:31:45.320
You can follow Paul at Paul Boyce, B-O-I-S, Paul Boyce 39.
01:31:53.240
All right, let's talk a little bit about preparedness.
01:32:00.700
We are five days away from the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.
01:32:08.880
In a good time, economically speaking, are we going to start putting Democratic Socialists in?
01:32:25.560
Now, all the things that could go wrong economically, it could go wrong politically.
01:32:30.800
You also have to add on the hurricanes and the forest fires and all of these crazy things.
01:32:39.920
Just prepare yourself by having two weeks of food storage.

One of them is just kind of personal on technology and kids and how much is good and how much is bad.
01:33:39.340
Mrs. Stetcher and her husband, Doshi, research screen time.
01:33:44.780
Now, these two are from Silicon Valley, and they're technologists.
01:33:50.500
They're people that work for Facebook or, you know, Google, et cetera, et cetera, Apple.
01:33:55.700
They have researched screen time and came to a simple conclusion.
01:34:02.320
Their daughters, ages five and three, have zero screen time budget, no regular hours.
01:34:09.180
They only screen time can be used when the travel portion is a very long car trip or a plane ride.
01:34:17.500
They can the family every Friday can watch one movie on the on the screens.
01:34:25.900
They said that they were, you know, part of this of we don't know how much is good and how much is bad.
01:34:34.040
They have been part of this couple has been part of the group that is designing our apps and everything else.
01:34:41.760
Chris Anderson, the former editor of Wired, now the chief executive of a robotics and drone company.
01:34:50.820
He said on the scale between candy and crack cocaine.
01:35:05.300
This is going straight directly to the pleasure centers of the developing brain.
01:35:11.060
It's beyond our capacity as parents to understand.
01:35:29.820
Screen time schedules enforced by Google Wi-Fi.
01:35:33.400
And the and if you have bad behavior, you're offline for 24 hours.
01:35:48.680
And I'm wondering when people are going to wake up to this, especially when it comes to China.
01:35:55.060
We were just talking to Paul Boyce from Daily Wire, who wrote an article about the pope and his love affair with the Chinese communists and what he's doing to the church, which is the the actual Catholics that live in China are freaking out because he's allowing the Communist Party to appoint the bishops.
01:36:16.060
And then he'll just rubber stamp and then he'll just rubber stamp and say, yeah, that one's OK.
01:36:28.360
When is the world going to wake up to what China is going to be in about 15 months?
01:36:38.200
You know, when we first started talking about the sharp eyes program, this this social media program that is absolutely a Black Mirror episode.
01:36:50.100
I'm convinced that Black Mirror did an episode based based on this.
01:36:55.140
I mean, it's been in planning for quite some time.
01:36:57.920
So it is a truly terrifying George Orwell world.
01:37:05.700
It is Big Brother watching you at all times and controlling you based on what you read online, what you write, who your friends are, where you shop, what you what your views are, how you behave.
01:37:19.620
If you ever act out of line, if you jaywalk, you lose social credit points and you can eat.
01:37:31.820
And his system is just and you lose the ability to put your kids in school.
01:37:51.900
And there's no place to hide when that's 15 months away.
01:38:00.480
Do we Sarah do we happen to have we played this last night on the news and why it matters.
01:38:04.280
Do we happen to have that audio from the train in China?
01:38:10.060
There's a high speed bullet train that is in China.
01:38:14.000
And somebody took a somebody took a video of the announcement that they make.
01:38:20.140
If you find it, let me know, because you really could just start a Black Mirror episode with this video.
01:38:24.900
It's that it's that reminiscent of the sort of stuff.
01:38:35.200
DARPA is now seeking FAA approval for military drones over American cities.
01:38:47.020
This is the announcement on a high speed bullet train to everybody on the train.
01:38:55.460
Dear passengers, people who travel without tickets or behave disorderly or smoke in public areas will be punished according to regulations.
01:39:06.240
And the behavior will be recorded in the regional credit information system.
01:39:11.260
To avoid any negative record of personal credit, please follow the relevant regulations and help with the orders on the train and at the station.
01:39:21.340
Let me play it again in case you didn't understand it.
01:39:24.200
Play it again and I will I will translate because sometimes she's a little hard to understand.
01:39:31.020
She says, dear passengers, people who travel without a ticket or behave disorderly or smoke in public areas will be punished according to regulations.
01:39:41.860
And the behavior will be recorded in the individual credit information system to avoid any negative record of personal credit.
01:39:51.360
Follow the relevant regulations and help with the orders on this train and at the station.
01:39:59.860
Fifteen months away from China going dark that you have no escape from.
01:40:22.200
They know what you're doing, who you're talking to, who you're communicating with.
01:40:33.040
And if you're seen with somebody who is also under suspicion, then your credit score goes down.
01:40:45.860
DARPA is looking for FAA approval for military drones over American cities.
01:40:50.880
Now, do you remember when we first heard about drones over, I think it was upstate New York?
01:41:09.840
And they were like, oh, no, no, it's just the border.
01:41:12.060
And then the crazy people like, no, you're going to use those later elsewhere.
01:41:29.160
Military grade drones along the border, which in reality constitutes a hundred mile wide swath that encircles the continental United States and two thirds of its population.
01:41:43.640
According to a new report from Defense One, this level of access is still seen as a restriction by the DARPA-directed military apparatus.
01:41:53.600
New forms of autonomous aircraft take to the skies as the latest Black Hawk helicopter drones that could be ready by 2019.
01:42:00.600
DARPA and aircraft developers want permission to fly over large cities as needed, utilizing a new artificial intelligence system that is literally called the Matrix.
01:42:13.900
Developers see an opportunity for more flexibility.
01:42:22.920
But the Predator drone maker General Atomics say they have their eyes on the FAA certification to fly large unmanned aircraft within the continental United States to help ferry people in supplies from the mainland to offshore oil rigs and other jobs.
01:42:44.420
We know that they have the ability to, you know, kill people.
01:42:49.700
But because of this new Matrix, it can fly over crowds in cities.
01:43:04.300
The technology goes and it's flying over you and it it grabs real video of crowds and it turns the crowds.
01:43:14.680
Basically, it sees the crowds as stick figures.
01:43:17.300
And those stick figures are now interpreted by artificial intelligence as either aggressors or defenders.
01:43:28.520
So when you're defending, your stick figure would would kind of lean back.
01:43:34.060
If you're aggressive, you have your arms raised and you're leaning forward.
01:43:38.680
OK, so when you're taking a punch, you would be a defender.
01:43:46.340
When you are throwing a punch, you're an aggressor.
01:43:50.420
And these drones can fly over a crowd and make everyone into stick figures immediately and see who the aggressors are.
01:44:07.700
You don't want this stuff approved over the United States of America.
01:44:17.740
You want to open the door for a drone to fly over our cities?
01:44:23.060
Well, yes, I don't have anything to worry about because I'm not throwing punches.
01:44:38.060
Now, we know the drones already fly over the borders, right?
01:44:51.260
And I don't think anybody in this audience would.
01:44:59.600
Texas border residents have been warned of armed civilians confronting caravans.
01:45:05.060
So now they're worried that some Texans or some other people around the country are going to come down and go, well, I'm going to defend our border.
01:45:29.540
You know, when Obama wasn't watching the border.
01:45:34.040
Well, you know, if you live in Texas and you're protecting your ranch, go for it.
01:45:39.100
But we now have military that is going to go and protect.
01:45:45.980
But let's just say you've got Barack Obama in office.
01:45:55.000
You say, I've got to defend my ranch, my family.
01:46:42.100
You think it's bad now where, oh, stop dehumanizing.
01:46:46.620
Because that drone just made you into a stick figure.
01:46:52.060
And that drone could have the power to take you out.
01:47:15.260
Yeah, I just, you know, it's really, it's, I wish I was on another, I wish I was with Elon Musk on Mars to watch this play out.
01:47:25.120
I wish I could live for another hundred years and just watch this play out.
01:47:30.680
You know, we're either, Jesus is either coming or, or some other miracle and we survive.
01:47:39.220
I mean, it's just, it's, we're at a turning point that people have never, ever faced before.
01:47:44.900
And we really have not put enough thought into how to deal with any of this stuff.
01:47:48.260
I was just, I was just reading the thing about the screen time.
01:47:50.920
The people who were, the people who were developing it, they've developed it.
01:47:56.360
They said, you know, we're so far off the reservation here.
01:47:59.300
We don't know what the connection is with the human brain.
01:48:01.960
But now as we have some information coming in, yeah, we don't allow our kids to have any access to any screens.
01:48:10.140
Yeah, I mean, the, the, the title of the story is a dark consensus about screens and kids are beginning, is beginning to emerge in Silicon Valley.
01:48:18.920
You go through it and it's like, they're saying, is it closer to candy or closer to crack?
01:48:25.480
Here's the thought we could control it and it's beyond our power to control.
01:48:29.720
I mean, it's easier to do none than just a little there.
01:48:33.580
I mean, this is, these are people inventing these things.
01:48:40.660
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said earlier this year he would not let his nephew join any social network.
01:48:49.540
Bill Gates banned cell phones until his children were teenagers.
01:48:52.620
And Melinda Gates said, I wish we would have waited longer.
01:48:55.960
Steve Jobs does not let his children, or did not let his children near an iPad.
01:49:00.500
The most vocal, the most vocal in the fight against technology with children has become Silicon Valley.
01:49:17.980
I'm reading this, I'm reading this great book called Future Crime.
01:49:28.380
But it's all about the effect of, you know, coming technology and also cyber security.
01:49:39.340
Cyber security is when you really understand how far along this stuff is.
01:49:52.780
The, the cyber attacks that are going on from countries alone, not just the bad guys, but countries is staggering.
01:50:02.180
There's no way you're going to be able to protect your devices and your identity alone.
01:50:16.480
Now they also have the power of Norton security.
01:50:20.140
So with Norton security and LifeLock, they protect the threats against your identity and all of your devices.
01:50:25.860
And you're not going to see these things coming.
01:50:28.020
Nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions at all businesses.
01:50:33.500
But the new LifeLock with Norton security will see the threats that you might miss.

01:51:51.360
We're going to help them out with their 2020 campaigns.
01:52:01.600
We want to reach across and help the Democratic Socialists.
01:52:06.200
So we've got a few things for them that you don't want to miss.
