00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.240 Hey, it's Friday. We're on the road for our Glenn Beck comedy and stage show tour.
00:00:15.240 We would love to see it tonight in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
00:00:19.480 Then on Saturday, we are going to be in Pittsburgh.
00:00:22.860 That's a benefit show. All the money is going to go to the police department and to the Jewish community in Pittsburgh.
00:00:27.560 Then on Sunday in Cleveland, and then we're going to be a week or so out in Orlando and also Tampa.
00:00:36.860 So grab your tickets now at glennbeck.com slash tour.
00:00:40.380 On today's podcast, we are going to talk about the funding of the caravans.
00:00:47.100 You know, I know the media says, no, this is just grassroots. This is nothing. Really?
00:00:51.800 Because Project Veritas has come out with something pretty darn interesting about the Beto campaign actually funding some of the bus tickets, some of the airplanes and also food.
00:01:08.100 Caravan. This is against the law to use your campaign funds to do that. 0.61
00:01:12.860 They're on tape and it is really quite astonishing.
00:01:16.620 Also, my answer to Don Lemon. Don, I don't believe is a racist, but Don, you're acting like one right now.
00:01:24.920 Your comments about white people being the most dangerous terrorists in America is just flat out wrong.
00:01:33.480 I will show you the stats using the stats he pulled from.
00:01:38.260 I'll show you how it was cherry picked to make it look that way.
00:01:42.040 It's not true.
00:01:45.000 And Don, you should be ashamed of yourself for doing it.
00:01:48.700 Also, Pat joins us because Stu was just too sleepy.
00:01:54.240 And we'll wrap up the podcast with Pat and I talking about the economy, gas prices, and some of the crazy stories that are in the news.
00:02:02.980 All on today's podcast.
00:02:04.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:17.700 It's Friday, November 2nd.
00:02:20.040 Glenn Beck.
00:02:21.580 So yesterday, last night, President Trump gave a speech at the White House addressing the migrant caravan that is slowly approaching the American border.
00:02:31.180 The same caravan that everybody on TV says, don't worry about it.
00:02:35.440 It's no problem.
00:02:36.380 It's no big deal.
00:02:37.380 It's not even going to make it.
00:02:38.540 It's not even happening.
00:02:40.060 And George Soros, he's a lovely old gentleman who we just think is marvelous and he has nothing to do with it.
00:02:47.820 But Trump's speech, probably, I didn't see it.
00:02:51.460 I was on stage last night, so I didn't see it, but I read about it.
00:02:54.220 And here's my first impression just reading about it in the news.
00:02:57.960 It must have been tremendous because they all said, there was nothing but hate in it and nothing new.
00:03:04.720 We were duped.
00:03:06.160 We shouldn't have even carried it.
00:03:09.280 Okay, so it had to be great.
00:03:11.340 Let me give you the big takeaway from the speech.
00:03:14.000 In my personal opinion, this was a speech given as an affirmation to the people who voted for him, just saying, yep, I got it under control.
00:03:26.640 Okay, good.
00:03:28.380 A lot to take away from the speech.
00:03:30.200 One moment that encapsulated, I think, the entire speech is probably when a reporter asked President Trump whether or not the troops will fire on migrants in the caravan.
00:03:42.080 Migrants, listen.
00:03:42.820 I hope not.
00:03:43.920 I hope not.
00:03:44.680 It's the military.
00:03:45.560 I hope there won't be that.
00:03:47.940 But I will tell you this.
00:03:49.180 Anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military and Mexican police, where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico, we will consider that a firearm.
00:03:59.640 Because there's not much difference when you get hit in the face with Iraq, which, as you know, it was very violent a few days ago, very, very violent. 0.99
00:04:10.880 And that break-in, it was a break-in of a country. 0.66
00:04:14.620 They broke into Mexico.
00:04:16.000 And you look at what's happening in Guatemala, just to mention Guatemala, along with El Salvador and Honduras.
00:04:23.720 It's disgraceful that those countries aren't able to stop this, because they should be able to stop it before it starts.
00:04:29.880 And the United States pays them a fortune, and we're looking at not doing that anymore, because why should we be doing that when they do nothing for us?
00:04:38.500 Wow, is that a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood moment.
00:04:45.920 The first time I've ever heard him self-edit.
00:04:48.580 Did you notice that?
00:04:50.000 He self-edited.
00:04:51.540 On the spot, I've never seen him do this.
00:04:55.320 He said, you know, getting hit with a rock in the face is, well, you know, what?
00:05:02.120 The same as getting hit with a bullet in the face?
00:05:04.720 He recognized, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.
00:05:07.780 Unbelievable.
00:05:08.500 This is a message for the people in Honduras, the people in Guatemala, the people in Mexico.
00:05:17.940 It is also a message for anybody who is funding all of this, perhaps Venezuela.
00:05:25.140 There are reports, we have not verified them, but there are reports that leftists here in America are also helping the funding now on the buses, etc., etc.
00:05:39.500 So, this is our president.
00:05:43.400 And if you don't like it, I don't know what to say.
00:05:47.700 Because there's a lot of people who have been waiting for a president to say, you know what?
00:05:54.600 America is not cheap and worthless.
00:05:59.040 The Statue of Liberty in the poem by Emma Lazarus said, I hold my lamp beside the golden door.
00:06:07.480 It's a golden door.
00:06:08.920 There is a door.
00:06:10.420 And it's a special door.
00:06:11.860 I hate to sound like, oh my gosh, Emma Lazarus might have been Donald Trump. 0.91
00:06:17.020 It's a big, beautiful door.
00:06:18.540 It's a special, it's a golden door.
00:06:20.860 It's right.
00:06:21.740 My gosh.
00:06:22.520 He may be older than we think.
00:06:23.880 We have a system of laws, and the president is right.
00:06:31.100 When they broke in to Mexico, they tore down the gates. 0.73
00:06:37.320 They were not coming in peacefully.
00:06:42.040 Let's say that.
00:06:42.840 America has a unique spirit and a unique place, and it's worth defending.
00:06:50.760 The president, of course, faces a barrage of hate every day.
00:06:56.020 And sometimes he deserves it, quite honestly.
00:06:58.040 Sometimes he says things, like if he would have finished that sentence, it would be like, well, it was your fault.
00:07:04.440 But most times it seems he does not.
00:07:08.200 They cannot take him.
00:07:09.920 As Jon Stewart said, they are just, it's their ego.
00:07:13.960 It's their ego.
00:07:15.600 They can't believe they can't destroy this guy.
00:07:22.160 Anybody who says, you know, let me put it this way.
00:07:26.800 I wrote about this in the book.
00:07:28.980 I look at people, when they talk about Donald Trump, I look at them the same way I would look at somebody who says, McDonald's is horrible.
00:07:39.900 Everything at McDonald's is horrible.
00:07:43.500 Really?
00:07:44.740 What about their French fries?
00:07:46.480 If they don't say, okay, their French fries are freaking fantastic, probably not the best health for you, but they're fantastic.
00:07:55.720 But the rest of the stuff is horrible.
00:07:57.740 If people wouldn't say, okay, I give you the French fries, but the milkshake's not even milk.
00:08:04.640 I get it.
00:08:06.520 I get it.
00:08:07.720 You are not an honest broker of information.
00:08:13.140 If you can't say, okay, this president has done some things that are horrible, some things that are good.
00:08:20.460 If you can't say that as a member of the press, you have zero credibility.
00:08:26.260 Zero.
00:08:26.980 And don't talk to me about hero worship or selling out or anything like that.
00:08:33.000 Mister, I've got a thrill and a chill running up my leg.
00:08:37.200 The minute Barack Obama was on the scene, everyone had a crush on the cool guy.
00:08:48.860 The media and academia have gone insane.
00:08:54.840 But you know what?
00:08:57.300 The media and academia went insane in the other direction for Barack Obama.
00:09:03.680 Now, this is toxic nonsense.
00:09:08.000 Toxic nonsense.
00:09:10.680 We're living in historic times.
00:09:13.160 We really are.
00:09:14.300 And it's exciting to live in these times.
00:09:17.540 If we don't kill each other, this is a time where we all get to figure out who we really are, what we really believe in, how great we actually can be.
00:09:28.700 Historic times are often turbulent times.
00:09:34.080 The greatest generation.
00:09:36.440 Those people were fantastic.
00:09:41.020 That was in turbulent times.
00:09:45.220 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:09:53.840 All right.
00:09:54.680 We got Robin.
00:09:55.540 Robin in Virginia.
00:09:57.000 Hi, Robin.
00:09:57.600 Who are you there last night?
00:10:00.440 I was great.
00:10:01.500 Yes, I was there last night.
00:10:02.520 It was great.
00:10:03.380 It was absolutely wonderful.
00:10:04.560 I laughed hysterically.
00:10:06.400 And I was the one you handed the bucket of pizza to when you walked out.
00:10:10.300 Well, see.
00:10:11.340 You know, it's not that I don't keep giving.
00:10:14.100 You know, I fed the audience last night.
00:10:17.220 So.
00:10:17.500 Wow.
00:10:17.820 That's great.
00:10:18.700 Yeah, you fed everybody.
00:10:19.860 Yeah.
00:10:20.560 Robin, thank you so much for coming.
00:10:23.580 Okay.
00:10:24.060 Well, thank you very much.
00:10:25.940 You bet.
00:10:26.300 We got Karen in Virginia. 0.95
00:10:27.720 Karen, go ahead.
00:10:31.140 Hey, Karen.
00:10:32.080 Hi, Glenn.
00:10:32.720 Hi.
00:10:33.220 Hi.
00:10:35.280 So, first of all, I got to tell you that I watch you on the blaze all the time.
00:10:40.700 So you weren't shocked.
00:10:41.400 And my husband will come in and he'll see you.
00:10:43.100 Or he'll come in and he'll leave.
00:10:44.420 He'll come back in.
00:10:45.140 He'll come back out.
00:10:45.900 He'll come back in.
00:10:46.560 He goes, does Glenn know that he looks like Colonel Sanders?
00:10:51.260 Okay.
00:10:51.740 All right.
00:10:52.220 Okay.
00:10:52.540 This is not helpful.
00:10:54.100 This is just not helpful.
00:10:56.720 Karen, thank you for coming last night in Hershey, Pennsylvania tonight, tomorrow in Pittsburgh
00:11:02.640 and Sunday, Cleveland.

00:11:23.960 So, in my book, I talk about Don Lemon.
00:11:28.780 And I talk about how Don Lemon said that, no doubt about it, Donald Trump is a racist.
00:11:36.780 And I tried to explain to him what he was feeling and how wrong he was trying to explain to Don Lemon,
00:11:44.860 Don Lemon, no, I can see how you see it that way.
00:11:48.900 But here's actually what you're misinterpreting.
00:11:53.980 Don Lemon and no one in the media is actually interested in hearing a different opinion.
00:11:59.920 They are convinced they're right.
00:12:01.540 And anyone else is either a liar or part of the problem or just been zombified for Donald Trump.
00:12:09.060 None of those things are true.
00:12:11.080 Some people have been zombified.
00:12:13.220 Most people have not.
00:12:14.120 The people who are true zombies are the ones that can't listen to their rhetoric and notice something's not quite right.
00:12:26.680 Don Lemon got a lot of heat this week for something that he said.
00:12:31.920 I mean, it is the most contradictory statement I have ever heard anyone make in history.
00:12:39.740 Here's what he said.
00:12:40.920 So we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men. 0.63
00:12:49.780 Most of them radicalized to the right.
00:12:52.760 And we have to start doing something about them.
00:12:55.040 Okay.
00:12:56.720 All right.
00:12:57.080 We have to stop demonizing people and realize that the biggest terror threat is white men. 0.58
00:13:05.340 Wow.
00:13:06.540 One of the craziest and most racist thing I have ever heard.
00:13:11.260 But screw the white people. 0.89
00:13:14.260 So the backlash began to pile up.
00:13:18.720 And Don Lemon, you would think in a reasonable world, would go, okay, I wasn't thinking or whatever.
00:13:27.620 But that's not what he did.
00:13:29.620 Now, the media doesn't understand why Donald Trump says you're fake news and you're an enemy of the people.
00:13:36.760 They don't understand it.
00:13:39.120 Well, let me explain it.
00:13:40.800 With things like this, it shows you are an enemy to the people, to a large number of people in America.
00:13:50.320 Because you are wrong.
00:13:52.700 And then when you're caught in that, you don't apologize.
00:13:58.180 You actually double down.
00:14:00.480 Here's the next day, Don Lemon.
00:14:02.300 Tonight, I also want to talk about some uncomfortable truth.
00:14:05.940 The truth about who really carries out domestic terror attacks in this country.
00:14:10.680 Earlier this week, I made some comments about that in a conversation with Chris.
00:14:14.460 I said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white men.
00:14:20.980 That angered some people.
00:14:22.960 But let's put emotion aside and look at the cold, hard facts.
00:14:27.620 The evidence is overwhelming.
00:14:30.880 A recent report from the Government Accountability Office shows that.
00:14:34.140 Even though more people died in attacks connected to Islamic extremists,
00:14:37.860 the vast majority of deadly attacks in this country from 2001 to 2016 were carried out by far right, violent extremists.
00:14:48.120 Okay.
00:14:49.140 This is fantastic.
00:14:50.520 This is fantastic.
00:14:51.540 How do you argue that?
00:14:53.020 It's actually quite easy because those overwhelming, cold, hard facts are not flawed.
00:15:01.280 They are flawed the way you are presenting them because you're not presenting the entire picture.
00:15:09.040 Cory Booker basically said the same thing.
00:15:11.460 And the media is treating them as absolutely right.
00:15:14.240 Well, we're not going to do that.
00:15:16.420 If they were right, I would say, I'm sorry, America.
00:15:19.720 I got to tell you the truth.
00:15:20.560 He's right, but he is not right.
00:15:24.320 They're quoting from the Government Accountability Office report on countering violent extremism.
00:15:29.880 So Lemon alluded to cold, hard facts, but he didn't give any context.
00:15:37.260 Context matters.
00:15:39.700 So we'll do it because the media won't.
00:15:42.460 During his, sorry, but not really sorry, mayor, culpable refusal, Lemon quoted GAO report, finding that from September 12, 2001, until the end of 2016, there have been, I'm giving you the actual facts he just alluded to them.
00:15:59.460 There have been 85 extremist attacks and 73% of those documented attacks were committed by right-wing people.
00:16:08.420 Case closed, right?
00:16:11.380 73%?
00:16:12.180 Are you kidding me?
00:16:13.380 85?
00:16:14.600 85 attacks and 73% are documented right-wingers.
00:16:21.400 Well, that's overwhelming.
00:16:23.440 Those are the facts.
00:16:25.680 No, they're not.
00:16:27.980 Because you have to actually look at what they're talking about.
00:16:31.880 If you look at the listed attacks, you'll see a few things that are kind of peculiar.
00:16:38.040 Now, it's very obvious from Lemon's rant that he was talking about domestic terror, right?
00:16:43.420 They are.
00:16:44.100 The white man is the most responsible for domestic terror.
00:16:48.640 But the GAO report lists cases that don't have anything to do with domestic terrorism.
00:16:54.940 The GAO counted every single case where a fatality occurred and the attacker had an affiliation with right-wing or white supremacist affiliation.
00:17:07.340 Well, here's what that list includes.
00:17:12.040 That list includes prison murders.
00:17:15.780 Again, does anybody have a doubt that there's right-wing white nationalists in prison?
00:17:26.680 When they kill each other, that's on the list.
00:17:31.800 That's murder, gang violence, where race, religion, or sexual orientation were not the motive.
00:17:38.820 One case out of the 84 was a member of a white supremacist street gang that killed his own father.
00:17:49.780 That's murder.
00:17:51.100 That's not terror.
00:17:52.160 That's murder.
00:17:53.740 And it's a white supremacist.
00:17:55.800 He's in a white supremacist gang.
00:17:58.040 He killed his dad.
00:17:59.900 That's murder, not terror.
00:18:03.040 So the report that Cory Booker—by the way, it's about to get much better.
00:18:07.140 The report that Cory Booker and Don Lemon are using to show that white men are the most dangerous terror threat includes prison and gang crime, where many times race or bigotry wasn't even the motive.
00:18:21.760 So does that say they're skewing this?
00:18:25.920 They're not really telling you the truth?
00:18:28.740 Absolutely.
00:18:29.420 If your case is built around this report, and you try to label an entire race of people as dangerous terrorists, that's not just insanely dishonest.
00:18:41.120 That is racist, Don.
00:18:43.240 You are saying that white men—
00:18:47.420 There were 85, 85 incidents that you say are domestic terror.
00:18:54.640 Okay, now, here's where it really gets interesting.
00:19:00.380 Don does point out that there were more fatalities from Islamic extremists versus right-wing extremists.
00:19:06.720 Right-wingers killed 106 people, as documented in the GAO.
00:19:12.740 Right-wingers killed 106.
00:19:18.020 Jihadis killed 119.
00:19:20.320 Now, I also found an even more interesting fact here.
00:19:26.200 The GAO report did not include any attack unless it included a fatality.
00:19:33.500 Now, how many—and remember, I don't ever ask a question that I don't know the answer to—
00:19:40.880 How many multiple attacks have happened from Islamic extremists that don't show up because they didn't kill anyone or they were thwarted by the FBI?
00:19:54.940 Not in this report.
00:19:56.360 Now, if you're going to call all white people terrorists, you might want to have the information to back it up more than a flawed study that includes prison and gang violence.
00:20:08.800 So we went to the Department of Homeland Security.
00:20:11.280 From 2001 to 2013, there were 53 Islamic terrorist attacks here in America that were foiled by law enforcement.
00:20:22.280 From 2014 to 2016, with ISIS alone, there were 101 foiled attacks.
00:20:33.280 So, in the span of the GAO study that Don Lemon is quoting from, there were 154 foiled attacks from Islamic extremists.
00:20:45.240 That's a lot more than the entire 84, if you're keeping track at home, or 85.
00:20:54.780 So you combine that, you combine the right-wing attacks and the Islamic terrorist attacks, including the prison and gang violence, and there are still only 85 incidences?
00:21:06.320 Really?
00:21:07.720 Because the jihadis tried to kill us on our own soil 154 times.
00:21:12.640 So, which one is more dangerous?
00:21:15.620 And if I said, you know, they tried to kill us 154 times, clearly all Muslim men are the problem here. 1.00
00:21:24.340 Muslim men are the biggest danger in America for terrorism today. 1.00
00:21:30.620 Don, do you think I could get away with that?
00:21:32.820 Or do you think you and your network would deem me a racist?
00:21:37.460 Hmm, remember, I don't ask any questions that I don't already know the answer to.
00:21:46.380 Unlike Booker and Lemon, I want you to know I am not stating the facts of the 154 to demonize,
00:21:54.060 because I am not saying Muslim men are our biggest terror threat.
00:21:59.160 I will say Islamists, and I don't care what race they are, Islamists are our biggest terror threat. 1.00
00:22:09.360 That could be a woman, that could be a man, that could be a white guy, it could be an Arab guy, we don't know.
00:22:16.140 But Islamists are our biggest terror threat. 1.00
00:22:20.860 Not all Muslim, not all Arab men. 0.98
00:22:22.980 How dare you, Don Lemon, become the racist that you have always said we should never become or be?
00:22:34.340 How dare you become Mr. Whitey 1956?
00:22:43.500 But even more irresponsible than Don Lemon is CNN.
00:22:48.320 CNN, this is why the president says you're an enemy of the people.
00:22:55.300 What do you call an organization that backs up the use of a twisted, flawed study or report on that study,
00:23:05.860 and says that, what is it, 40% of the country?
00:23:11.240 White men, 30% of the country is white men?
00:23:13.740 That 30% of the country needs to be dealt with.
00:23:19.200 Well, who doesn't think that's racist?
00:23:24.240 I'm not doing, I'm not labeling all Muslims as terrorists, because that would be irresponsible and flat out wrong.
00:23:32.920 But more irresponsible is going on national cable TV, on a supposed news network,
00:23:39.000 and then tailoring facts that you absolutely had to cherry pick and ignore.
00:23:46.860 While at the same time demonizing an entire race of people, while at the same time saying we shouldn't demonize people.
00:23:56.380 False narratives, propaganda.
00:23:58.840 They are only successful when questioning stops and you're not doing your own homework.
00:24:06.420 This is why the progressive and now postmodern movement is not teaching our children how to think.
00:24:14.300 They're teaching our children what to think.
00:24:16.360 It's why you are shouted down and you are put behind a digital ghetto wall where you can say whatever you want,
00:24:26.420 ask any question you want, but no one will hear you because of the algorithms.
00:24:31.800 They are trying to teach America as they taught Megyn Kelly.
00:24:36.920 Don't you dare ask a single question.
00:24:40.300 Because once you cannot ask a question, flawed thinking, flawed facts, and I'm sorry, Don Lemon, but the shoe fits you today.
00:24:53.100 Racists like Don Lemon, get away with it.
00:25:00.580 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:03.300 Back to Beto here and the tape that Project Veritas has come out with.
00:25:14.420 And what they have are two staffers that are field staffers.
00:25:19.940 One is a field manager and the other one is a field coordinator for Beto here in Texas.
00:25:28.360 And the media is not paying attention to this at all.
00:25:31.920 They should.
00:25:32.380 These guys are admitting to federal crimes.
00:25:35.640 And they're talking about taking money from the campaign and buying bus tickets, buying, I think they did say, airline tickets and food and blankets and helping people from Honduras get to the United States.
00:25:53.020 And there's also another field manager, Andrea Reyes, a field manager for the Beto campaign.
00:26:00.160 And she's talking about how she's got proof that she shared this with the campaign manager.
00:26:08.920 Here's what she said.
00:26:09.760 I told you about it.
00:26:21.020 I have the messages to prove it.
00:26:22.420 So, you told Jody, the campaign manager.
00:26:32.180 Can you translate here?
00:26:34.180 Yeah.
00:26:34.760 She says, yeah.
00:26:35.580 Because I can't understand it.
00:26:36.300 The thing is, as long as we're not advertising it, I mean, I don't really know.
00:26:42.080 They said it was fine.
00:26:45.560 So, and then she continues talking about Jody, the campaign manager.
00:26:51.660 I mean, I don't know.
00:26:52.680 Okay.
00:26:53.000 I told you about it.
00:26:54.640 I have the text messages to prove it.
00:26:58.080 So, so what she's saying is she informed Jody, the campaign manager for Beto, that they were sending these funds to, I guess, the Honduran caravan people.
00:27:11.140 And they were, and she told the campaign manager about it and they were fine with it.
00:27:15.920 And she has the text messages to prove it.
00:27:18.640 I can't, I mean, I just don't understand how Texas, how this guy is even close.
00:27:26.420 First of all, he is a democratic socialist.
00:27:28.900 I mean, he is, he is as left as they come out of line with Texas.
00:27:34.980 He is a post-modernist kind of guy out of line with Texas.
00:27:40.760 Now, taking campaign funds, and even if they were low staffers, this has been out since yesterday.
00:27:50.160 There's been no move to get rid of these staffers.
00:27:53.820 No move of him having to come out and say, oh, we would never do that.
00:27:58.040 And, you know, these guys did it.
00:27:59.500 They did it on their own.
00:28:00.960 We've, you know, we fired them because we won't take it.
00:28:03.740 None of that.
00:28:05.060 How is Texas voting for this guy?
00:28:08.580 I don't think he's going to win, but I don't even understand how he has 20%.
00:28:12.760 I don't either.
00:28:14.440 I don't either.
00:28:15.100 You know, the Project Veritas person posing as a journalist says, so you actually told, he asks her point blank, you actually told Jody?
00:28:23.040 Yeah, I told Jody and I told my director.
00:28:25.760 Well, okay, that's a problem.
00:28:28.960 That's a crime.
00:28:29.980 Yeah, it's a crime.
00:28:30.960 It's a federal crime.
00:28:32.640 Yeah.
00:28:34.900 You know, Project Veritas, and I remember I talked to James, what's his last name?
00:28:41.460 Yeah, James O'Keefe.
00:28:42.240 You know, I talked to James when he was first starting out, and I thought he was a really nice guy.
00:28:48.900 And he had the right intent.
00:28:53.660 And, you know, he may still, and I'm not throwing him under the bus or anything, but I was concerned about how sloppy they were at times.
00:29:02.720 And that he would sometimes, I felt, creatively edit things.
00:29:09.280 And, for instance, when the New York Times caught the O'Keefe reporter, do you remember that one, where they were trying to get inside of a, into the New York Times, and the New York Times reporter figured it out and just really just embarrassed that person?
00:29:30.640 It was just sloppy, and he shouldn't have done that.
00:29:34.420 Now, I think he's cleaned that up, and he's gotten smarter, because the stuff that he's coming out with now is really, really important, really important.
00:29:46.740 And if he is as buttoned up as I think he is right now, this is stuff we have to pay attention to.
00:29:55.620 And we've got to bring it to our friends who are Democrats on the other side of the street, not the other side of the aisle, because the aisle implies a politician.
00:30:05.760 They're not going to care.
00:30:07.680 Other side of the street, the people who are in your neighborhood that may not have woken up,
00:30:13.400 and don't take this stuff to them and say anything other than, have you seen this?
00:30:19.480 What do you think of this?
00:30:21.240 Well, James O'Keefe, well, what do you know about him?
00:30:24.400 Because I agree.
00:30:25.660 Maybe you do, maybe you don't.
00:30:26.900 I don't know.
00:30:27.380 But, you know, I could have a very good conversation with people saying, yeah, I know.
00:30:31.280 He's done some things that I don't think are great.
00:30:33.300 But he's also exposed some things, and he's been right on the money.
00:30:38.060 What do you think about this?
00:30:39.560 I mean, do you, Rowan Farrow.
00:30:43.400 Do you take Rowan Farrow as a credible source?
00:30:46.760 Well, of course I do.
00:30:48.020 Okay.
00:30:48.480 Well, he's been wrong on a couple of things there.
00:30:51.260 I mean, Kavanaugh, he was wrong on.
00:30:53.660 So, you know, people can be wrong.
00:30:57.180 The question is, how do you excuse this?
00:31:00.660 Because there's no way to take what they said out of context unless what they said right before was, okay, I mean, if I were doing this stuff and, you know, I wanted us to look bad, what I would say is, roll tape.
00:31:17.060 Right.
00:31:18.080 Which didn't happen.
00:31:19.360 Yeah.
00:31:19.640 Right.
00:31:20.280 And for them to have these guys on tape saying this and then Beto not coming out and saying immediately, okay, guys, I looked into this.
00:31:32.500 Those guys are wrong.
00:31:33.600 And that is illegal.
00:31:36.420 And we'll pay the fine or whatever, but I've put out this paper and we're not doing that.
00:31:40.800 We are not putting money toward the Hondurans.
00:31:46.240 We are not.
00:31:47.160 We did.
00:31:47.980 Apparently, these people took some of those funds.
00:31:50.120 But I've corrected that.
00:31:52.920 We will never do that.
00:31:54.800 If they're not doing that, how do you trust them with anything?
00:31:58.920 And I would say exactly the same thing if a Republican were doing it and those who listen to me know I would.
00:32:06.280 And can you imagine if this were Ted Cruz we were talking about?
00:32:10.060 Would this be on every broadcast?
00:32:12.540 This would lead every story.
00:32:14.540 This would lead every newscast.
00:32:16.600 This would be on New York Times, be in the Washington Post.
00:32:19.480 It would be everywhere and they'd be demanding his head.
00:32:21.880 They'd be demanding.
00:32:22.320 Okay, so let's reverse this.
00:32:24.960 If staffers were caught on tape by media matters, okay, and they were caught on tape and they were saying, yeah, well, don't say this.
00:32:38.400 We don't want people to know, but we've taken some of Ted's campaign cash and we're actually paying patriots to come down and live on the border and have their guns
00:32:48.700 and make sure these Hondurans and make sure these Hondurans are not getting coming across.
00:32:51.700 Do you think every single operation in America would be on those tapes?
00:33:00.680 And even if they said media matters, and none of them would, but media matters has an axe to grind.
00:33:08.100 Media matters is not a credible source.
00:33:10.520 But here's the person saying it.
00:33:14.000 We reached out to the campaign to get an answer.
00:33:17.660 That's the very least that should be done.
00:33:22.140 They're never going to do it.
00:33:23.920 They're never going to do it.
00:33:25.240 And, Pat, don't you think this is why people feel that Donald Trump is justified in some way to say the press is an enemy of the people?
00:33:42.920 Yes.
00:33:43.920 Yes.
00:33:46.080 It's part of the reason he got elected, and it's part of the reason they feel justified when he says those kinds of things.
00:33:52.080 And when he says it now, you know, I think a couple of years ago I might have been irritated by it.
00:34:00.800 Now I tend to think, well, yeah, that's how they act.
00:34:03.780 They act like an enemy of the people.
00:34:06.160 I'm still bothered by it because it's not helpful.
00:34:10.920 It isn't helpful.
00:34:12.560 Right.
00:34:12.860 Yeah.
00:34:13.120 That is true.
00:34:13.960 And it's not going to change anyone's heart.
00:34:17.740 You know, it's not going to get anybody on the left to go, now, wait a minute, does he have a point?
00:34:22.100 Because it's too big of a broad brush.
00:34:25.740 You know, it's like Don Lemon.
00:34:27.800 Don Lemon making that statement.
00:34:29.780 He could have said, look, you know, white men and people who are in these white extremists, they are a real problem that we should address.
00:34:38.340 And he didn't qualify it like that at all.
00:34:40.240 He didn't qualify.
00:34:41.040 He said white males are the biggest terror threat.
00:34:45.940 Who's going to listen to him?
00:34:48.400 He could.
00:34:49.320 He didn't.
00:34:50.180 But he could have a valid point.
00:34:53.000 And no one on the other side will listen to it because that's the approach.
00:34:57.380 We can't approach it like that because we're the ones, we're the ones that have to change people's hearts.
00:35:06.500 The other side, the extreme left, they'll just kill people.
00:35:13.020 If you don't agree, they'll either shame you and run you out of society or kill you.
00:35:17.260 And those are their words.
00:35:19.100 And I'm not talking about Democrats.
00:35:20.120 I'm talking about the extreme left.
00:35:22.860 That's what they do.
00:35:25.440 We have to change people's hearts because I don't want to round anybody up and I don't want to kill anybody.
00:35:30.180 So we've got to change people's hearts.
00:35:32.560 And we have to start doing that now before this gets even worse.
00:35:41.020 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:35:52.440 So Pat is sitting in for Stu, and I don't know why you have to pick it up where he left off.
00:36:08.540 I just don't.
00:36:09.220 I don't think it's kind of obvious truisms that must be revealed here.
00:36:15.380 And I just want people to understand when they come into the auditorium in Hershey,
00:36:19.700 not to be, you know, flabbergasted to the point where they flee this stadium.
00:36:24.900 I don't want that to happen.
00:36:26.380 Okay, shut up. 0.99
00:36:27.560 So I got some questions from the audience last night, and I didn't have a chance to address them.
00:36:32.040 So let me address some of them.
00:36:33.680 Who will be the Democratic candidate for 2020?
00:36:38.300 It's a good question.
00:36:40.620 I think it's too early to say.
00:36:42.760 I don't think it's going to be Elizabeth Warren.
00:36:44.720 I got some possibilities.
00:36:46.540 Who?
00:36:47.180 One of them is Beto.
00:36:48.260 One of them is Beto.
00:36:50.240 I think that's absolutely true.
00:36:53.880 I think Beto is going to be on that stage.
00:36:57.220 He's a good mix.
00:36:58.780 He might actually be the guy.
00:37:01.040 He's a good mix between a politician and a rock star.
00:37:04.020 And, you know, so you don't have to go to a, let's say, Tom Hanks, who really, I mean,
00:37:10.160 nobody knows anything about his policies, where he stands on issues, how he would run.
00:37:14.640 But this guy has all of this momentum behind him now, and he's a politician.
00:37:20.240 Except he's not going to win.
00:37:22.000 He's not going to win.
00:37:22.900 No, he's not.
00:37:24.220 And you did say that you would eat your underwear if Beto wins.
00:37:28.200 Yes.
00:37:28.560 So we're doing live coverage on the Blaze TV on Tuesday night.
00:37:35.480 It's going to be quite the coverage.
00:37:37.440 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:37.980 Can you imagine?
00:37:39.360 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:40.020 We're bringing in a lot of friends, and we've got a lot of voices, a lot of faces you recognize,
00:37:45.480 and it's going to be a lot of fun.
00:37:47.200 And our coverage will begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
00:37:51.720 And so you know, I'm bringing a chef in to prepare underwear in many, just in case, in many different,
00:38:01.420 you know, there will be some, you know, Asian Pacific underpants that you can try. 0.99
00:38:08.200 So we've got a lot of different underwear recipes.
00:38:11.140 Lots of.
00:38:11.540 Yeah.
00:38:12.020 Yeah.
00:38:12.500 Yeah.
00:38:12.880 And he's classically trained, too, so he can just make some French sauce.
00:38:16.340 I don't even know what you marinate underpants in before you, what, grill them?
00:38:22.540 Underpants.
00:38:23.100 Well, that's a barb.
00:38:23.960 That's the way we're going to be barbecuing some underpants for you. 1.00
00:38:26.500 Okay.
00:38:27.180 All right.
00:38:27.460 You know, we, if you'd like, we could have him make a fruite de lume sauce.
00:38:36.360 I can't say it now.
00:38:37.320 I can't.
00:38:37.520 No, I was going to say duck au l'orange.
00:38:40.300 A fruite de lume au l'orange.
00:38:42.240 And I was like, I can't say it without the duck in it.
00:38:45.840 I don't know why.
00:38:47.420 Okay.
00:38:47.980 So I think you're right.
00:38:49.580 I think it's going to be Beto.
00:38:50.800 Another question.
00:38:51.780 What do you think will happen when the Honduras caravan reaches the U.S. border?
00:38:55.900 My hope is that it doesn't reach the U.S. border.
00:38:59.440 If it does, I think we are going to see the coverage on CNN and MSNBC and the BBC and everything else.
00:39:12.000 You will see the coverage that you see on the Israeli border with the Palestinians.
00:39:17.760 You will see a very skewed look.
00:39:24.200 They are going to show all of the things that are bad for the United States and good light for the Hondurans. 0.96
00:39:32.180 And this will begin our forever border struggle like Israel has. 0.95
00:39:39.880 Agree or disagree?
00:39:40.840 Oh, I agree 100%.
00:39:42.380 It's going to be ugly.
00:39:44.000 If they make it to the border, the press is going to be hoping for incidents, for something to go wrong.
00:39:50.400 Oh, yeah.
00:39:50.940 Oh, yeah.
00:39:51.340 You have a real recipe for disaster.
00:39:55.220 You talk about recipes for underpants.
00:39:57.060 There's a recipe for disaster.
00:39:59.180 Like, I don't even want to think about it because it could get ugly.
00:40:04.840 And here's the thing.
00:40:05.660 You need to be saying to your friends right now, what is going to happen?
00:40:09.740 I mean, they're moving troops there.
00:40:12.600 Would you ever bring your children to that?
00:40:15.100 Would you just ask this question of your liberal friends?
00:40:18.320 I mean, you know, I've got compassion for those guys, and I can see it.
00:40:22.480 But would you ever bring your children to that?
00:40:24.620 How dangerous is that?
00:40:26.620 Absolutely not.
00:40:27.200 You don't do that.
00:40:28.900 Get them to acknowledge now because if it happens, there are going to be children involved, and
00:40:35.860 that's who the media will focus on.
00:40:39.000 And you have to, right now, get your friends to recognize that that is crazy and irresponsible
00:40:46.940 to bring any child to this.
00:40:50.920 You don't do it.
00:40:52.540 And that's something we don't talk about enough.
00:40:54.340 There's absolutely no responsibility, no accountability on the part of the parents involved here.
00:41:00.340 No.
00:41:00.420 And some of them are unaccompanied, supposedly.
00:41:03.480 I mean, I see a scant few children to begin with.
00:41:06.000 But the ones who were there, many of them are unaccompanied.
00:41:09.580 So parents said, okay, go with these people.
00:41:12.920 That's, you know, I understand that conditions are probably not ideal in Honduras.
00:41:19.980 But couldn't it be a heck of a lot worse when you turn them over to 7,000 people you don't know?
00:41:24.260 And then just say, good luck on the 2,600-mile walk to the border.
00:41:30.000 And then when you get there, if the military's there, you know, keep your head down.
00:41:33.420 I don't even understand that.
00:41:35.400 I don't get it.
00:41:36.340 No, neither do I.
00:41:38.820 Glenn, what would you tell the Republican Party they should do before the midterm to rally voters,
00:41:45.520 conservatives, independents, and even uninformed Democrats?
00:41:50.580 I don't know.
00:41:52.080 Tell them about the border.
00:41:53.460 Tell them about the 40, what is it, $42 trillion plan of the Democratic Socialists.
00:42:01.140 Show the radicals in the Democratic Party and how they are not like them.
00:42:09.200 And show them the debt that we have.
00:42:13.520 Show them the truth about everything that is going on.
00:42:17.560 And say, which, you got to choose.
00:42:19.860 But it's not going to happen.
00:42:21.240 I mean, it's not going to happen.
00:42:22.040 People are already set in their ways.
00:42:24.760 And this, I think, do you think this is hyperbole, Pat, to say, because I've always hated this.
00:42:32.140 This election is the most important in your lifetime.
00:42:34.620 The next few elections actually are.
00:42:37.460 And not in our lifetime, but in the lifetime of the republic.
00:42:40.440 And the Western way of life.
00:42:43.660 These next few elections could decide whether the West survives or not.
00:42:50.880 Yes, because they're going to determine whether we turn to socialism or not.
00:42:54.780 And not the kind of socialism.
00:42:56.380 And this is the thing I so want you to understand and share with your friends.
00:43:01.940 There is a difference between a Democrat who wants a bigger welfare state.
00:43:09.780 Canada is not a socialist state.
00:43:13.540 They have socialist medicine.
00:43:16.780 They have socialized medicine.
00:43:19.320 They do not have.
00:43:20.460 It's not a socialist state.
00:43:21.840 It is a capitalist state.
00:43:23.780 So there are those who say, I just want more, you know, government programs.
00:43:29.080 They're not socialists.
00:43:30.820 They just disagree with us on where, you know, where the limit is on government.
00:43:37.540 That's not a socialist.
00:43:39.000 That's certainly not a communist.
00:43:40.700 A socialist, a democratic socialist, they are go to their own website.
00:43:45.760 Don't take this from me.
00:43:47.100 Listen to Ocasio-Cortez.
00:43:49.040 They do not want capitalism as part of this country.
00:43:55.400 They think capitalism is a failure and it's time for it to come to an end.
00:44:01.560 That is, that's not the Netherlands.
00:44:04.760 You don't build IKEA in a socialist country.
00:44:09.040 That's a capitalist market.
00:44:11.460 Same with Norway, with Nokia and, you know, Finland with their industries and Sweden.
00:44:18.140 Those are all really, they still all are involved in the free market in some way.
00:44:25.120 So every country that's pointed out as successful socialist, they're really not.
00:44:31.800 The socialist countries you can point out are Cuba, Venezuela.
00:44:37.140 China even has a hybrid now of communism and capitalism.
00:44:41.420 That's why they've lifted 400 million people out of poverty.
00:44:44.460 I mean, capitalism has saved billions of people on this planet.
00:44:50.880 So in the show that we have, I show the stats of what the Western world has done in the last 20 years.
00:45:00.940 And, and Pat, I read these stats one by one and they go up on a screen.
00:45:06.700 Last night, probably 70% of them, 50 to 70% got the audience gasping.
00:45:15.420 Really?
00:45:16.260 They were like, wow.
00:45:17.240 Oh my, oh my gosh.
00:45:19.100 Oh my gosh.
00:45:19.780 You could hear the audience saying, how do I not know this?
00:45:22.240 How, is this true?
00:45:23.860 This can't be true.
00:45:24.640 Is this true?
00:45:25.200 How do we not know this?
00:45:27.260 The stats of what the West and particular America has done.
00:45:33.640 Staggering, staggering.
00:45:35.800 I believe it.
00:45:36.600 But nobody's willing, nobody's willing to talk about it.
00:45:39.500 It's going to be up to each of us as individuals.
00:45:42.560 By the way, all of the stats are in the book, Addicted to Outrage.
00:45:46.940 And it shows you, because there's a section, we have to decide, are we good or bad?
00:45:50.820 Is the Western way of life worth saving?
00:45:54.400 Well, you need to know.
00:45:55.520 Here are the bad things.
00:45:56.420 Here are the good things.
00:45:57.320 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:46:01.860 On demand.
