The Glenn Beck Program - 11⧸5⧸18 - 'Approval Too High for a Wave'？⧸ Guest Dan Crenshaw

00:00:00.080 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.440 Hi, it's Glenn Beck, and it's that time of year when the housing market starts to pick up steam.

00:00:14.460 So, if you have been thinking about selling your home, please know a couple of things.

00:00:18.940 Interest rates are going up. They're going to rise the rest of the year.

00:00:22.960 If you need to sell or you're thinking about it,

00:00:25.480 right now is the time to list your home with realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:00:30.820 I started realestateagentsitrust.com because I knew there had to be a better way to sell or buy a home.

00:00:37.220 And with the market average for selling cycle of six to nine months,

00:00:40.740 you need to get a jump on the rest of the market.

00:00:43.040 Competition is going to be stiff this year, but with realestateagentsitrust.com,

00:00:47.600 my team has assembled the agents who I trust, who you can trust,

00:00:51.400 who will get the most money for your home as quickly as possible.

00:00:54.740 At realestateagentsitrust.com, we've taken the guesswork and anxiety out of selling your home.

00:01:00.400 So, put them to work for you now.

00:01:03.380 realestateagentsitrust.com

00:01:04.460 realestateagentsitrust.com

00:01:06.920 realestateagentsitrust.com is a Mercury Real Estate LLC.

00:01:09.720 Let's talk about home title lock, though.

00:01:10.900 Yeah, let me talk about home title lock.

00:01:12.980 I had a retired FBI agent in here a few months ago, and they demonstrated exactly how easy it is to steal your home.

00:01:23.760 And I mean steal your home in a way that is phenomenal.

00:01:27.840 All somebody has to do is get the right information, which is easy to do, fill out the right form,

00:01:34.020 fake your signature, get a notary to authorize it, and your home is gone.

00:01:38.640 And people can take out loans against it.

00:01:42.700 I mean, this has ended up with homeowners being taken out with a SWAT team in Oregon.

00:01:47.620 It's crazy.

00:01:48.340 And only one company actually will protect you and can protect you.

00:01:53.020 Get your $100 free title scan.

00:01:55.020 That's free right now if you sign up at hometitlelock.com.

00:01:58.040 Do it.

00:01:58.360 Hometitlelock.com.

00:01:59.780 Knock this off your list.

00:02:00.560 It's a big problem.

00:02:01.540 Big problem.

00:02:01.740 You don't want to get caught in it, believe me.

00:02:03.200 Hometitlelock.com.

00:02:04.500 Glenn, back.

00:02:05.920 Over the weekend, the Washington Post editorial board continued warning that the stakes in

00:02:12.420 Tuesday's election are much higher than usual, calling it a once-in-a-generation event.

00:02:20.440 Well, I don't think so.

00:02:24.420 I don't think so.

00:02:25.200 I mean, the hyperbole that is being fueled right now, the panic that is just pouring into

00:02:32.760 the engine and igniting over President Trump is out.

00:02:37.020 It's just off the charts.

00:02:39.500 The left sees tomorrow's election as a lifeline.

00:02:43.260 And so they have gone on and on and on how this is the most important election in the

00:02:46.420 history of elections.

00:02:47.440 And let me say this.

00:02:48.760 It is.

00:02:49.840 It is.

00:02:50.580 But not because of President Trump, not because of anything other than we are in such a precarious

00:02:59.760 position that we have to decide, are we going to be Democratic socialists or are we going

00:03:08.120 to be a constitutional Republican that's a republic that still believes in capitalism?

00:03:14.160 That really is what it's about.

00:03:16.020 Let's stop making it about personalities.

00:03:17.800 Now, the Post says this election is about something more elemental.

00:03:22.780 What kind of country do we see?

00:03:25.340 What kind of country do we see today?

00:03:27.600 And what kind of country do we see for the future?

00:03:30.200 That makes these midterms unlike anything in recent past.

00:03:34.560 On that, they're correct.

00:03:37.240 But it has nothing to do with hatred and xenophobia, et cetera, et cetera, because a lot of that is

00:03:45.900 either spun or an out and out lie.

00:03:49.680 What happened in Pittsburgh had nothing to do with President Trump, nothing to do with

00:03:55.700 President Trump.

00:03:56.540 What's happening on the border really has nothing to do with President Trump.

00:04:01.180 It all has to do with what kind of country we're going to be, a constitutional republic or

00:04:08.940 democratic socialist.

00:04:12.600 The election is important, but every election is important.

00:04:18.280 People have written to me and I'm going to get into some of the letters.

00:04:21.240 Glenn, when are we going to stand up and fight?

00:04:23.720 You know when?

00:04:24.900 Right now.

00:04:26.240 Right now.

00:04:27.920 You're not going to stand up and fight.

00:04:29.880 You're going to go into the polls.

00:04:31.980 And if every conservative within the sound of my voice, if we all go and vote, we will win.

00:04:40.520 If you don't, the left is motivated.

00:04:48.320 Are you?

00:04:50.400 The Post claims that it is so alarmed that our nation's values are at stake.

00:04:55.780 Our nation's values aren't even understood anymore.

00:05:00.100 What are our nation's values?

00:05:02.220 Washington Post.

00:05:03.480 What are they?

00:05:04.300 Because I think they're life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

00:05:07.220 happiness among those values, those principles, those things that we used to find self-evident.

00:05:16.360 I'm not sure if we find them self-evident anymore.

00:05:19.340 Why?

00:05:20.120 Because we're talking about, quite honestly, Donald Trump's dumps, you know, dump tweets

00:05:26.620 when he's sitting in the john at three o'clock in the morning going, yeah, this is going to drive them crazy.

00:05:33.380 We shouldn't be talking about those.

00:05:35.060 We should be talking about our values and not the twisted values that Barack Obama has been out talking about.

00:05:41.960 Because now he is saying that our values are at stake because this president put broke families up and put them behind bars.

00:05:50.680 Well, excuse me, President Obama, and excuse me, press.

00:05:59.640 I was there.

00:06:01.580 I saw it.

00:06:03.300 I warned against it.

00:06:05.400 I begged the media to pay attention.

00:06:08.200 And no one would pay attention when this was started under Barack Obama.

00:06:14.640 So now he's trying to say, oh, see, our values have been destroyed by Donald Trump.

00:06:20.220 No, they were destroyed long before Donald Trump.

00:06:25.260 The values crisis.

00:06:28.300 It's much deeper than the values crisis.

00:06:32.640 Saturday, there were two examples of this.

00:06:34.740 One on one hand, actor Pete Davidson made fun of Republican U.S. House candidate Dan Crenshaw of Texas.

00:06:44.640 Now, this is during a live sketch from Saturday Night Live.

00:06:49.360 Davidson mocked Crenshaw's eye patch.

00:06:52.280 He lost his right eye.

00:06:55.160 And so he made fun of the lost, you know, the lost eye in the eye patch.

00:07:00.280 And I get it.

00:07:01.680 He threw a bone to out of the six people he made fun of.

00:07:06.920 He said, just to show you that I'm fair, I'll do one on the other side in a race that was guaranteed to go the governor's way.

00:07:16.660 He made fun of a guy with an eye patch because he lost his eye.

00:07:22.920 I know, I know he lost his eye in the war or something.

00:07:26.580 Yeah, it was a bomb blast during his deployment in Afghanistan.

00:07:31.420 Meanwhile, also on Saturday, 39 year old Brent Taylor was killed in Afghanistan when a member of an Afghani security force opened fire at a U.S. base in Kabul.

00:07:42.000 Taylor was serving them, serving there on his fourth deployment in the National Guard.

00:07:48.800 He was the former mayor of North Ogden in Utah.

00:07:52.940 He leaves behind a wife and seven children.

00:07:56.640 Taylor said his life was oriented towards three loyalties, God, his family and his country.

00:08:03.340 In his last Facebook post just last week, Taylor wrote, quote, as the U.S.A. gets ready for another election, I hope we all vote.

00:08:16.120 I hope everybody back home exercises their precious right to vote and that whether Republicans or Democrats, no matter who wins, that we all remember that we have it far better as Americans than anybody else.

00:08:34.740 And we have more as Americans that unite us than divides us because united we stand, divided we fall.

00:08:43.560 God bless America, end quote.

00:08:47.020 Now, how can we possibly disagree with that?

00:08:51.720 We're all talking about the things that divide us and the only things that matter that divide us are our values and our principles.

00:09:00.680 And it's time to look at the big ones, the ones we used to find self-evident.

00:09:07.480 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable, unchangeable rights.

00:09:20.300 And among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

00:09:25.280 And then the amendments to the Constitution.

00:09:27.960 You have a right to speak out.

00:09:31.460 You have a right to assemble with people that you want to assemble with.

00:09:36.580 You have a right to ask your government tough questions.

00:09:41.280 Because you have freedom of speech, you have a right to ask questions.

00:09:47.080 I'm not sure that America even agrees with this anymore.

00:09:52.940 So much of our life is about choices and perspective.

00:09:56.460 America finishes making its choice tomorrow.

00:10:02.840 We would be well served by a lot less hyperbole.

00:10:08.280 We would be well served by a lot less pointing of the fingers and freaking out over personalities.

00:10:17.340 And a lot more perspective and decency and actual getting up off of the couch and voting.

00:10:29.240 It's Monday, November 5th.

00:10:35.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:10:38.060 Good morning.

00:10:39.700 Hello, Stu.

00:10:40.760 How are you, sir?

00:10:41.680 Really well, Glenn.

00:10:42.640 How about yourself?

00:10:43.340 Gosh, I haven't seen you in, what, three hours?

00:10:46.080 We arrived back here in Texas after an electric performance last night.

00:10:53.880 Actually, the audience was electric.

00:10:55.740 I was a little too full of cheese, as I think Stu was last night.

00:11:01.100 Yeah, we went to a, what, Melt Bar and Grilled?

00:11:03.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:04.200 That is one of the greatest places of all time.

00:11:06.700 And they will not franchise out of Ohio.

00:11:09.320 Is that true?

00:11:09.760 Because I think I really want to make, I want to bring them to Texas very badly.

00:11:12.840 I will put my own money to bring them into Texas. 0.95

00:11:15.640 Yeah, me too.

00:11:16.340 It is one of the greatest restaurants ever.

00:11:18.580 It's a grilled cheese restaurant.

00:11:20.200 But when I say that, you're like, grilled cheese sandwiches.

00:11:22.860 I mean, I can make those at home.

00:11:23.980 Not these.

00:11:24.780 No, no.

00:11:25.500 Not these.

00:11:26.580 There are crazy combinations and all sorts of mac and cheese.

00:11:30.240 And then they've got, I mean, the menu took me about a month to get through.

00:11:33.720 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:11:34.640 Come on.

00:11:35.280 So good.

00:11:35.860 You just ordered everything on the menu.

00:11:38.660 Well, yeah, that's what I mean.

00:11:39.240 I mean, to eat everything on the menu took me a while.

00:11:41.780 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:42.080 I almost congealed on stage last night.

00:11:44.220 If it wasn't for the stage lights, I would have congealed.

00:11:46.820 We lived on Melt and Hank's Root Beer the entire trip.

00:11:50.340 And thank you, Hank.

00:11:51.520 Oh, God, I love them.

00:11:52.940 Tony's awesome.

00:11:53.760 We did live on Hank's Root Beer.

00:11:55.340 And if you've never had Hank's Root Beer.

00:11:57.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:57.900 That's Pennsylvania, right?

00:11:58.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:11:59.740 Pennsylvania.

00:12:00.560 That's available everywhere?

00:12:02.200 In a lot of places, I know.

00:12:03.340 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:03.660 It's so good.

00:12:04.060 It's down here in Texas.

00:12:04.980 It is so good.

00:12:06.040 Tony and the family that run Hank's Root Beer were there.

00:12:09.240 It was awesome.

00:12:09.780 Big fans.

00:12:10.320 We've decided to make them the official soft drink of the Glenn Beck program.

00:12:15.180 I love that.

00:12:15.800 Yeah.

00:12:16.040 I don't know if they do, but I love it.

00:12:17.640 Yeah.

00:12:17.920 So, okay.

00:12:18.380 So, let's take a quick break.

00:12:21.940 And then we're going to come back and we're going to talk about the elections.

00:12:25.160 We're going to look at the actual numbers because the New York Times.

00:12:31.600 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:33.040 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:33.900 Oh, geez.

00:12:34.460 Oh, the New York Times last night or this morning has their The Daily, which is the number

00:12:42.500 one podcast, I think, in America, and I listened to it this morning, and I just couldn't take

00:12:48.680 the propaganda.

00:12:50.100 I couldn't take the lack of honesty here and balance.

00:12:57.560 Last night, did anybody see?

00:13:00.980 I mean, you might have flipped by it, maybe.

00:13:03.420 I know nobody watched it, but the Alec Baldwin show.

00:13:07.180 Oh, my.

00:13:08.220 The Alec Baldwin show gave a free commercial to Planned Parenthood.

00:13:14.940 Cecile Richards.

00:13:15.880 It was unbelievable.

00:13:18.180 Can you imagine the opposite happening on network television?

00:13:22.080 A puff piece interview of the person who was ahead of Planned Parenthood for years and

00:13:28.420 years and years, talking about how mean the other side is to women.

00:13:31.940 Can you imagine a puff piece on a national network with Lila Rose?

00:13:40.860 Can you imagine that?

00:13:41.800 With no pushback, no pushback.

00:13:45.240 It was unbelievable.

00:13:47.960 So what effect is this going to have?

00:13:51.020 Well, we'll see.

00:13:52.220 I know the left is very excited to go out and vote.

00:13:56.400 Are you?

00:13:58.540 Are the conservatives in America, do they still have the passion to go out and actually vote?

00:14:06.620 You need to, because this is a very important election.

00:14:10.640 And we'll give you the latest look and the latest stats when we come back.

00:14:16.680 First, let me tell you about American finance.

00:14:20.500 One in three homeowners now use a credit card to pay for at least part of a home remodeling project.

00:14:28.180 Now, this is according to House Remodeling, that app.

00:14:31.820 A quarter of those homeowners chose credit to take advantage of rewards.

00:14:37.520 Fifty-eight percent scored no interest promotional rates.

00:14:41.400 Now, it sounds like a good idea, but what's the catch?

00:14:44.660 Well, if you're unable to pay the balance off before the interest fees strike, they begin to really add up.

00:14:52.900 And now you're paying a lot more for that project than you thought.

00:14:56.580 So before you go and put that on a credit card, consider paying for it with an upfront help from a cash-out refinance.

00:15:07.980 Now, with cash-out refinance, your home pays for its own projects thanks to the equity that you've acquired.

00:15:14.840 And it takes 10 minutes to do this.

00:15:16.540 All you have to do is call American Financing.

00:15:18.440 The salary-based mortgage consultants can walk you through the options and will do what it takes to get your new loan closed in as little as 10 days.

00:15:28.400 So call American Financing now.

00:15:30.120 The number is 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or online at AmericanFinancing.net.

00:15:39.920 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:15:50.620 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:15:52.860 Glad you're here.

00:15:54.500 People will ask all the time, in fact, we were out on tour and this was probably one of the number one questions.

00:16:00.360 How do we fight back?

00:16:01.540 How long do we take this?

00:16:03.600 How do we win?

00:16:04.600 What do we do?

00:16:06.500 Well, it's easy today.

00:16:08.020 Today it's easy.

00:16:08.880 Tomorrow, you take your friends to the polls.

00:16:12.640 You find those people who perhaps cannot get to the polls and you take them to go vote.

00:16:19.500 The left does this, except the left does this with buses and big campaigns and they empty out the nursing homes.

00:16:27.440 What I want you to do is find those people that maybe live in your neighborhood who work with you.

00:16:34.420 You make a pact with them today.

00:16:37.000 Will you come vote with me?

00:16:39.320 You find the people who are like, yeah, I'm planning on it, but they're not going to.

00:16:44.980 You need to amplify your voice.

00:16:48.160 People say to me all the time, Glenn, my voice isn't loud enough.

00:16:52.340 Well, we all have our different roles to play.

00:16:55.840 And I understand that feeling of not having a voice.

00:16:59.560 I really do.

00:17:00.340 And I would go crazy if I didn't have this opportunity to have this thing in front of me every day.

00:17:05.920 It must be so frustrating.

00:17:08.300 But understand, you can amplify your voice by helping your friends get to the polls tomorrow.

00:17:17.160 The left is putting everything into this.

00:17:21.540 The left has gone, I think, stark raving mad with Trump, anti-Trump mania.

00:17:29.820 They are they are.

00:17:30.460 They've really gone nuts.

00:17:33.320 And they are doing everything they can to get every person out to vote.

00:17:38.500 Well, take it upon your own shoulders tomorrow.

00:17:42.820 If you don't have to work tomorrow, if you could take the day off, you should take the day off and go take people that, you know, start going through your your phone contacts.

00:17:55.060 Who do you know, are they voting?

00:17:58.200 You should start talking to people in your office today.

00:18:00.680 Can I take you voting tomorrow?

00:18:04.560 You should go find the people that you know that are in nursing homes that, you know, and can't go out.

00:18:12.260 How about grandma and grandpa?

00:18:14.360 How about your mom and dad?

00:18:16.280 Can they get out and vote?

00:18:18.640 How about the youth?

00:18:20.320 Can they get out?

00:18:21.160 Do you know people?

00:18:22.640 Have you reminded them?

00:18:25.060 Are you helping them?

00:18:28.020 We have to do more than just shame people.

00:18:30.480 I mean, it's shaming.

00:18:31.380 You didn't vote.

00:18:32.800 No, help them.

00:18:34.800 Help them go out and vote.

00:18:38.280 That's how we do it today.

00:18:41.220 That's how we do it tomorrow.

00:18:44.020 If we haven't done everything to our ability to get people to the polls, and if we haven't got out to the polls ourselves,

00:18:52.560 well, then we have there's there's nothing we can say.

00:18:57.640 And it is close enough to where it could go either direction.

00:19:01.440 Is it not, Stu?

00:19:02.940 Yeah, it really is.

00:19:04.140 Really?

00:19:04.680 And everything's in play from the Democrats having both House and Senate to Republicans having both House and Senate.

00:19:12.180 I mean, I read, I think it was in the New York Times today that it was, that the House has, I think it's 30 races that are within two or three points.

00:19:22.820 It's exactly 30, yeah.

00:19:24.020 In fact, the House is interesting.

00:19:25.660 Both of these sides, and the reason why you keep, people generally speaking, keep saying, hey, Democrats are going to win the House, Republicans are going to win the Senate.

00:19:34.640 There's a structural advantage to both of these things.

00:19:37.740 So, you know, the Senate, maybe we'll go through in a minute.

00:19:40.580 The House, you were just talking about that with the 30 toss-up seats.

00:19:43.100 So when they talk about safe seats, seats that are not expected to be competitive at all, in the House, the Democrats start with a lead of 183 to 137.

00:19:52.300 So that is, that's before anything even gets competitive, that's where we are.

00:19:57.840 If you take the ones that are just kind of competitive, but most likely are going to fall on either side, you get to 194, 166.

00:20:06.460 In favor of the Democrats.

00:20:07.580 In favor of the Democrats.

00:20:08.380 Remember, you need to get to 218 for control.

00:20:11.160 Now, when you factor in leaners, okay, these would be races that could, could, they could lose, but are favored to win. 0.95

00:20:19.580 That gets you to 210 for Democrats.

00:20:22.480 The score, 210, 195, when you're talking about seats.

00:20:25.420 And that leaves you what we were just talking about with the 30 seats competitive, which means that Democrats would have to win eight of the 30 toss-ups to take the House.

00:20:32.680 That is going to be pretty easy to do if Republicans do not show up.

00:20:38.760 But it also shows Republicans could win this.

00:20:41.740 You know, it's not a nothing.

00:20:43.000 You know, even these prediction models that are showing, you know, 18 to 20% chance, it's still one in five.

00:20:48.720 Right.

00:20:48.800 It's not, and it's, it's, they're, they're giving Republicans less of a chance to win the House than Donald Trump to win the presidency.

00:20:59.520 However, obviously Donald Trump did win the presidency.

00:21:01.560 Right.

00:21:01.860 We all know that.

00:21:02.840 So, the idea that they could win this, it's certainly possible.

00:21:06.640 Right.

00:21:06.880 But you have, they would have to win, it's, it's messier than this, but they would have to win basically 23 of the 30 toss-up seats.

00:21:15.600 Not easy to do.

00:21:16.780 They'll pick off a couple from the Democratic side.

00:21:18.500 But not impossible.

00:21:19.000 And the reverse will happen too.

00:21:20.140 Correct.

00:21:20.680 So, it's going to be a little bit messier.

00:21:22.880 But it is possible.

00:21:24.140 The Democrats, you know, one person put it, put it this way, which I thought was interesting.

00:21:28.140 If Republicans can win all the seats they're favored in, and all of the seats up to being down by one point, they would win the House.

00:21:36.720 They would hold it.

00:21:37.660 So, they don't have to win races that they're down by 10 in.

00:21:40.820 But again, that, that assumes not losing any of these toss-up races, which is almost impossible.

00:21:45.780 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:21:47.120 You have to go out.

00:21:49.140 And then tomorrow, join us for our election coverage.

00:21:52.900 Become a subscriber at The Blaze.

00:21:54.420 Join us for our election coverage.

00:21:56.700 It is going to be fun and informative.

00:22:01.180 And it starts tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

00:22:03.700 Only on The Blaze.

00:22:08.680 Let me go to Mark in Pennsylvania.

00:22:10.780 Hello, Mark.

00:22:11.640 Welcome to the program.

00:22:13.540 Hi, Glenn.

00:22:14.300 Hey.

00:22:14.580 First of all, I want to real thanks, Sue, for leaving a mark on the Hershey stage.

00:22:20.600 And I want to know, was that a two-pound Hershey bar, and did it make it through the weekend?

00:22:26.480 That was a five-pound Hershey bar.

00:22:29.240 Holy mackerel.

00:22:30.100 Five pounds.

00:22:31.120 And it almost made it through the weekend.

00:22:34.220 I mean, it was a fight.

00:22:35.760 It was a fight.

00:22:36.520 But it almost made it through the weekend.

00:22:38.800 Hey, I invited my son when I got the tickets, and he was like, really?

00:22:42.860 I said, hey, wait a minute.

00:22:44.080 You're the one who always says you have an open mind.

00:22:46.060 So at dinner that night, when his mom asked him, why are you going?

00:22:49.160 He said, well, my dad used my words against me.

00:22:52.860 That's great.

00:22:53.980 So, yeah.

00:22:55.340 He really enjoyed it.

00:22:56.980 I don't know if you converted him, but he really enjoyed it.

00:22:59.060 But he had two questions at the end there.

00:23:01.260 One, you didn't mention where you got the actual number of $142 trillion.

00:23:08.200 We missed who the really said that.

00:23:09.840 Do you know where that was?

00:23:10.700 We should have put a footnote on it, but we didn't.

00:23:12.460 Yeah, I don't have it in front of me, but we can.

00:23:14.060 Yeah, we'll look it up for you.

00:23:15.240 We'll look it up for you.

00:23:16.040 It's in the book.

00:23:16.640 I can tell you that for sure.

00:23:18.160 Okay.

00:23:18.600 Well, then I haven't read them.

00:23:19.720 I've only gotten through the first chapter, so I've got to read through that.

00:23:21.620 It'll be in the book.

00:23:22.340 All those stats are in the book.

00:23:24.360 Okay, great.

00:23:25.220 And then the other thing, he was like, okay, you talk about how capitalism got us to where we are,

00:23:32.360 but when it comes to the AI stuff, you're kind of complaining about capitalism.

00:23:36.560 I said, well, but we're talking about a way of life here.

00:23:39.220 Yeah, no, I'm not complaining about capitalism.

00:23:41.220 Do not fear tech.

00:23:42.480 No, no, you weren't.

00:23:43.320 No, no.

00:23:43.880 He was about how you're scared of AI and how this is going to, how Silicon Valley wants us to have 100% unemployment.

00:23:51.260 Right.

00:23:51.380 And I think that's, I think that's actually a great goal, but we're not preparing for it.

00:23:55.760 We're thinking in two different directions.

00:23:58.340 You know, we're thinking, hey, I'm going to bring the jobs back while somebody in Silicon Valley, in fact, their whole goal is 100% unemployment.

00:24:06.760 We just have to decide if that's a good thing or not, not a good thing.

00:24:10.540 Capitalism is, again, the invisible hand of the market, and that invisible hand will give you exactly what you want.

00:24:18.040 So you have to be careful on what you want, what you're asking for.

00:24:22.560 It could, you know, it can smother you or choke you to death, or it could lift people up.

00:24:28.380 It just depends on what the society is.

00:24:31.900 So that's why I was saying that we have to be a better society.

00:24:34.740 We have to be a more informed society, and we have to be a part of all of these decisions that are going on.

00:24:40.880 Well, at the end there, you did make us both, quote-unquote, think.

00:24:46.120 That is, you know, that's great.

00:24:47.800 Did he walk out still hating me as much as he did when he walked in?

00:24:51.840 No, he did not.

00:24:52.940 Oh, that's good.

00:24:53.680 That's good.

00:24:54.240 I think he, you know, like I said, you know, I've told him, you know, if you listen to Glenn in bits and pieces, you might not get it.

00:25:00.620 You have to listen to him for a few days in a row or so, like I did.

00:25:04.160 I didn't get you, how many years ago have you been on the radio?

00:25:06.600 Oh, a long time, yeah, long time.

00:25:08.200 Yeah, well, after, like, the first few days, I could never turn my radio off again.

00:25:12.140 Thank you very much.

00:25:12.480 I'm on the road a lot, so I get to hear you a lot.

00:25:14.240 Thank you.

00:25:14.600 I appreciate it.

00:25:15.460 You bet, Mark.

00:25:16.020 Thank you.

00:25:16.580 You know, we used to say, give us 30 days, because people, it's a cycle with this show.

00:25:21.440 If you're a new listener, give us 30 days, because everybody hates me at the beginning.

00:25:26.740 And then after 30 days, you know, you, well, it's a white-hot hate.

00:25:31.720 And then it's about 20 days, it's a white-hot hate.

00:25:34.320 And then 30 days, you just kind of go numb inside, and you just have no desire to turn

00:25:38.440 this channel anymore.

00:25:39.860 It's our big plan.

00:25:40.580 It's our big plan.

00:25:41.620 So give us 30 days, and you'll go dead inside.

00:25:45.800 We say welcome to Mr. Pat Gray from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup that you can hear prior

00:25:52.440 to this program on the Blaze Radio Network.

00:25:55.520 How many days do we need to go numb on your program, Pat?

00:25:57.600 Do you have any idea?

00:25:58.200 700.

00:25:58.740 700 days.

00:25:59.560 That's not bad.

00:26:00.160 Wow.

00:26:00.400 You ready for the election tomorrow?

00:26:03.000 Oh, man, am I.

00:26:04.240 It's going to be...

00:26:04.820 I'm ready for the ads to stop.

00:26:07.780 I'm ready for the madness to be over.

00:26:09.720 Do you have the text messages to stop?

00:26:10.980 I will tell you, I have, you know, the one thing about being disconnected from television,

00:26:16.200 I don't see the ads anymore.

00:26:17.580 I don't watch network television.

00:26:19.100 I don't watch cable news.

00:26:20.500 I get everything online.

00:26:21.740 So I'm disconnected from all of that crap, and I am so thrilled.

00:26:25.820 That's because you don't watch sports.

00:26:27.260 The rest of us are, too, except for sports.

00:26:29.080 And so it comes...

00:26:31.440 Beto is everywhere.

00:26:34.120 I mean, everywhere.

00:26:35.700 Every break on Spotify, it's Beto O'Rourke.

00:26:39.560 I mean...

00:26:41.160 Pay the extra five bucks a month or whatever it is for the premium subscription.

00:26:45.100 That's what I said to my wife.

00:26:46.200 I'm not paying extra for the extra time.

00:26:49.160 Please!

00:26:50.040 I don't want to see Beto anymore!

00:26:51.700 I don't want to hear him!

00:26:52.720 If you're not man enough to pull an extra five bucks out of your wife's purse...

00:26:59.080 Can't do it!

00:27:01.540 So it's frustrating, but...

00:27:03.260 So is there a chance that these poll numbers are true?

00:27:07.980 Now, there's the latest poll, and Stu is our poll expert, so it's kind of a dicey pollster.

00:27:14.660 Is that right?

00:27:15.060 Yeah, I mean, first of all, there's a Democratic poll that has come out, and when you know

00:27:20.000 it's branded that way, typically they're good results, because they don't release them

00:27:23.660 if they're not bad for Democrats, right?

00:27:25.860 So the latest poll that came out there was a Democratic poll that has Beto and Cruz tied

00:27:31.420 at 49.

00:27:32.340 Absolutely not.

00:27:32.460 I don't believe that.

00:27:33.380 I don't believe that for a second.

00:27:34.520 However, a nonpartisan poll came out a few days earlier that had Beto down three, 50 to 47.

00:27:40.120 I don't believe that either.

00:27:41.360 I don't believe it.

00:27:41.960 I don't tend to either, but there's been...

00:27:44.020 And then the previous poll before that, which is Quinnipiac, a very well-known, respected

00:27:48.120 pollster, also had it 51-46.

00:27:52.260 Yeah, five.

00:27:52.780 So a five-point lead.

00:27:54.400 I would say...

00:27:54.720 I think it's going to be over 10.

00:27:56.180 I think it's good.

00:27:56.780 I do too.

00:27:57.380 I think 10 or more.

00:27:58.100 I think it's going to be over 10.

00:27:59.240 I'd be shocked if it...

00:28:00.760 You know, but they have poured so much money into Texas.

00:28:05.240 Well, now he's up to 70 million, and I think he's spending it all.

00:28:09.040 I mean, it is crazy.

00:28:11.000 Yeah.

00:28:11.320 Here in Texas, what people like George Soros...

00:28:16.380 Oh, you mean the dirty Jew? 1.00

00:28:18.960 No.

00:28:20.620 No.

00:28:21.840 What I mean is George Soros.

00:28:25.440 But every time you say George Soros, you mean...

00:28:28.480 You know what's amazing?

00:28:29.840 You know what's amazing?

00:28:30.640 I actually heard out in the same sentence, you know, people on the left, on the right,

00:28:38.020 they only hate George Soros because he's Jewish, and he is nothing like the Koch brothers. 0.65

00:28:45.700 Wait.

00:28:46.700 Wow.

00:28:47.140 Wait, hold it.

00:28:47.940 Yeah, you're right.

00:28:48.660 He does a lot more than the Koch brothers, but we can't say we don't like George Soros' spending of money because we disagree with his policies.

00:28:58.240 But the left can come out and make...

00:29:01.460 Demonize the Koch brothers.

00:29:02.900 Demonize the Koch brothers.

00:29:03.560 Every day Harry Reid got up on the floor of the Senate and did just that.

00:29:07.260 And again, like we've talked about this with the caravan.

00:29:10.420 They're saying you're anti-Semite because you're just assuming George Soros is...

00:29:14.300 We never have.

00:29:14.980 So ridiculous.

00:29:16.000 But we have evidence, and we've talked about it, that he was supporting the first caravan.

00:29:20.760 Yes.

00:29:20.920 Also, George Soros, on record, in his own writing, in 2016, said he was planning to spend $500 million

00:29:30.940 to help refugees and migrants, particularly migrants.

00:29:37.400 So you just have his words.

00:29:38.700 I mean, again, like that doesn't mean that some of the $500 million specifically went to this caravan,

00:29:44.520 but he wrote an op-ed saying he was going to spend half a billion dollars to support migrants.

00:29:51.320 Well, it's not incredibly crazy to assume that the biggest migrant issue in America might just be supported by George Soros.

00:29:59.620 Then we have the project...

00:30:01.020 Wait, wait, wait.

00:30:01.760 I cannot let that pass without pointing out the anti-Semitism that is coming from Stu.

00:30:10.500 I apologize, America.

00:30:11.940 Is he even a practicing Jew?

00:30:13.520 I don't think he is.

00:30:14.440 No, he's an atheist.

00:30:15.800 He's an atheist.

00:30:16.680 So I don't know what...

00:30:17.520 Oh my gosh, now you're going to dogpile on this helpless old man?

00:30:21.000 He's spending $500 million on the exact issue we're talking about.

00:30:26.820 And show me the proof.

00:30:28.160 He wrote an op-ed about it.

00:30:29.780 Show me more proof.

00:30:31.740 Do you guys see the Project Veritas thing on Beto, on the Beto campaign?

00:30:34.960 Yeah, I saw a little bit, yeah.

00:30:36.260 It was pretty compelling, I thought.

00:30:39.320 You know, a lot of his stuff, and I think we've talked about this in the past.

00:30:42.420 We're not gigantic fans.

00:30:44.340 Some of the things he's done have been really good.

00:30:46.220 And then...

00:30:47.040 Sometimes he gets into creative editing.

00:30:48.780 Yeah.

00:30:48.880 And he also, I mean, it's just...

00:30:50.740 But this looked pretty legit.

00:30:52.200 I mean, you've got campaign field managers who are talking about the fact that they have donated money to this caravan.

00:30:58.240 Okay, now the argument is, on the other side, that this is, again, creative editing.

00:31:02.820 But I will tell you this.

00:31:04.640 There is no way to creative edit something where they are saying,

00:31:10.840 yeah, he is only saying these things because he's trying to get the conservatives.

00:31:16.760 So he's only doing these things and keeping quiet on this because of X, Y, Z.

00:31:22.780 Unless, unless the sentence before is, what you're saying and accusing us of is completely dishonest.

00:31:34.140 It would be like us coming out and saying, then the phrase.

00:31:37.920 And that's just not the case.

00:31:39.020 That's not what's happening here.

00:31:40.200 It's not the case.

00:31:40.480 And yet they wrote this article in Mediaite talking about how Cruz is bringing this up,

00:31:47.120 that they might be funding, in part, the caravan.

00:31:50.260 And the spin on this story is O'Rourke has not publicly commented on Cruz's accusation,

00:31:56.420 which he made without evidence.

00:31:58.820 Well, no, he didn't.

00:31:59.640 He's got the Project Veritas video as evidence.

00:32:03.420 It's just nobody's paying any attention to it.

00:32:06.000 Yeah, I mean, their defense largely is not even to deny that they did this.

00:32:09.020 Their defense is to say, well, we gave some money to charity.

00:32:11.720 Yeah.

00:32:12.020 But, of course, you can't just take campaign dollars.

00:32:16.020 You can't.

00:32:16.200 It has to be above board.

00:32:18.080 There's a lot of process.

00:32:19.200 Again, I don't necessarily agree with these campaign finance laws, but they do exist.

00:32:22.420 You have them, again, on tape saying that they're doing it.

00:32:26.520 Multiple people in different situations saying that they're doing it.

00:32:31.060 Then saying, we talked to the lead campaign manager.

00:32:35.880 They were fine with it.

00:32:37.740 We just don't want the wrong people to find out.

00:32:40.400 And how can you creatively edit that with several people to make that not what they mean?

00:32:47.940 She also said she's got the texts to prove it, that she notified them and that it was okay.

00:32:52.680 Okay, so it seems like you haven't done the right, except they're telling the truth.

00:32:57.700 On a fun note, you guys probably, being out as you were this weekend, probably didn't see the Queen movie.

00:33:03.740 Oh, no.

00:33:04.300 Oh, no.

00:33:04.740 It's really good.

00:33:05.620 Really?

00:33:06.100 Really, really good.

00:33:06.480 I have heard that the reviews or some reviews are coming back and saying this is horrible.

00:33:10.920 And everyone I know who have seen it said, this is fantastic.

00:33:16.760 Jackie and I loved it.

00:33:17.780 I loved it.

00:33:19.400 The guy who plays him, he was in...

00:33:21.920 Unbelievable.

00:33:23.200 He was in, what's that TV show, So Good, Mr. Robot.

00:33:28.340 That's the kid from Mr. Robot.

00:33:29.840 Oh, that's who that is.

00:33:31.720 That's the kid from Mr. Robot.

00:33:33.160 They give him prosthetic teeth, and it makes him look just like Freddie Mercury.

00:33:36.420 I hear he sounds and looks just like him.

00:33:38.940 He does sound like him, because a lot of it is Freddie.

00:33:41.520 Oh, okay.

00:33:42.060 Yeah, they had to amalgamate the voice.

00:33:43.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:44.120 Because nobody could approximate Freddie Mercury's voice.

00:33:46.200 No, no.

00:33:46.620 The only problem I had was with, you know, there were some timeline issues where, like, you

00:33:52.180 know how when time passes, they'll put up on the screen, 1980.

00:33:55.260 Yeah.

00:33:55.820 Well, in 1980, they have Brian May writing, We Will Rock You, which happened in 1977.

00:34:03.040 And so, you know...

00:34:03.860 Why would they...

00:34:04.480 I don't know why they did that.

00:34:05.420 I think they said they did it for time.

00:34:07.520 And then the other thing, which is kind of big, because it's, you know, the crescendo,

00:34:12.560 he didn't know he had AIDS yet in 1985.

00:34:16.140 And that's when the big...

00:34:17.800 Spoiler alert, he had AIDS?

00:34:19.660 Yeah.

00:34:20.020 I'm sorry.

00:34:20.640 I didn't...

00:34:21.200 Sorry.

00:34:21.820 Please.

00:34:22.000 How's he doing?

00:34:22.860 Is he recovering?

00:34:23.740 I mean, is that the treatment...

00:34:24.820 He doesn't feel very good.

00:34:25.800 Oh, no.

00:34:26.200 Okay.

00:34:26.860 He died.

00:34:27.440 Oh, no.

00:34:28.080 Oh, thank you for breaking it softly like that.

00:34:30.540 Yeah, you're welcome.

00:34:31.080 Okay.

00:34:31.560 Yeah.

00:34:31.780 Oh, that's a real spoiler alert.

00:34:33.960 I mean, we make fun of Glenn, but I mean, he gave away the whole story.

00:34:36.780 He gave the whole story away.

00:34:38.080 Sorry about that.

00:34:39.260 My gosh.

00:34:39.280 My gosh.

00:34:39.780 They make those weird choices, though.

00:34:41.060 Yeah, they do.

00:34:41.620 To try to add...

00:34:42.640 It's like, when you're watching a true story, you just want it to be the true story.

00:34:45.620 Yes.

00:34:45.740 Even if it sucks a couple percent of the drama out, just tell it the way it happened.

00:34:49.700 So, Pat, did they cover his...

00:34:52.280 I mean, did they cover his death?

00:34:54.860 No.

00:34:55.340 They didn't?

00:34:55.720 No.

00:34:56.060 Was his girlfriend with him at the end?

00:34:57.900 Yes.

00:34:58.280 She was with him his whole life.

00:34:59.360 Okay.

00:34:59.700 Okay.

00:34:59.920 All right, good.

00:35:00.960 Wow.

00:35:01.560 Wow, look at that.

00:35:02.280 He's not spoiling anything.

00:35:03.840 That is really good.

00:35:04.900 I guess I shouldn't have said that.

00:35:07.620 You're in for a big surprise.

00:35:10.620 I want to see that one.

00:35:11.600 Wait a minute.

00:35:12.340 He was gay? 0.62

00:35:14.780 That's the big, like, Shyamalan twist at the end.

00:35:17.460 Yeah.

00:35:17.920 Like, dudes, that's the twist.

00:35:20.360 All right.

00:35:20.820 Some people are a little upset that they, you know, made such a deal out of the gayness.

00:35:25.020 That's who he was.

00:35:25.720 That's who he was.

00:35:26.820 That's who he was.

00:35:27.600 That's a big part of the story, right?

00:35:28.000 But it looked like he was hanging out with the village people his whole life.

00:35:30.920 Yeah.

00:35:31.620 You know, because they were all presented as leather clad.

00:35:34.420 Yeah.

00:35:34.960 But that's who Freddie Mercury was.

00:35:37.060 It was the late 70s and early 80s.

00:35:38.600 Yeah.

00:35:38.640 What do you know?

00:35:40.080 If you have a problem with that, then you don't know who Freddie Mercury was, or you

00:35:44.980 want some fairy tale.

00:35:46.340 Right.

00:35:46.540 I want the real story.

00:35:47.820 And that's why it was delayed eight years, because Brian May and Roger Taylor wanted it

00:35:51.020 to be him.

00:35:52.280 Yeah.

00:35:52.620 Good.

00:35:52.860 And it turned out.

00:35:53.600 Thank you so much, Pat.

00:37:22.280 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:37:24.060 I found out on Saturday, right before I walked on stage, that I had to, I have to put my

00:37:38.600 dog down today.

00:37:40.780 We have the vet coming over to put her down, and it's just been a hard weekend, man.

00:37:46.540 It's, we've had our dog for, you know, 13 years, and it's Ella that has to be put down,

00:37:54.660 and my wife is just, I felt so bad being on the road all weekend, and my wife was at home

00:37:59.560 and in between shows, and we would talk, and it was just really hard.

00:38:05.060 It was a really hard weekend for her.

00:38:06.660 So I ask for your prayers today for the family as we, we have to do that.

00:38:12.060 I'm, it's so hard to make that decision, and it's so, I'm so conflicted when you make that

00:38:21.840 decision, and you pray, just please take, take her, please just take her.

00:38:26.680 Um, and it's just so difficult to do, and I can't imagine living in the days where you

00:38:34.140 had to yourself go out and take care of it.

00:38:37.060 I mean, it just, I don't think I could do it.

00:38:39.680 I just don't know if I could do it.

00:38:42.180 Uh, but we ask for your prayers.

00:38:43.820 Okay, more on the election, uh, coming up.

00:38:48.140 We're going to look at the Senate.

00:38:49.760 Also, what CNN is suggesting that women do to get their husband to vote the right way. 1.00

00:38:56.180 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:39:00.820 Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day

00:39:04.380 with, or, um, start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters.

00:39:10.660 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

00:39:14.280 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the

00:39:17.820 stories that matter to you and your life.

00:39:20.360 The news and why it matters.

00:39:21.500 Look for it now, wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:39:24.000 Glenn Beck.

00:39:27.800 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:30.540 Election by numbers.

00:39:32.320 Seven in ten voters say their vote is meant to send a message to Donald Trump.

00:39:39.680 Why are people so obsessed with this guy?

00:39:41.840 I don't know, man.

00:39:42.960 I get that he's president of the United States, but this is America.

00:39:45.500 We're not supposed to be obsessed with the president 24 hours a day.

00:39:48.200 Well, you know, they're obsessed with, the reason why the left is so obsessed with him

00:39:51.240 is because he is destroying the, the fear that the left has spent decades trying to perfect.

00:40:01.460 They want you to be afraid of them, afraid of saying the wrong things, afraid of having

00:40:08.900 a different opinion and he doesn't care.

00:40:12.060 And it's, that's what's driving them nuts.

00:40:15.560 He doesn't care and they can't destroy him.

00:40:19.360 And on the outside, it looks like he's the easiest guy to destroy.

00:40:24.680 But here they have all this fear and it's worked for so long.

00:40:29.060 If he teaches people not to care, they're in real trouble.

00:40:34.200 The obsession part of this, I think, is odd, just that it overwhelms other individuals,

00:40:38.320 right?

00:40:38.560 Like, you know, if you really dislike Donald Trump, but you're in Arizona and you're,

00:40:44.180 let's say, in the middle, you can't possibly think that cinema is a good candidate to run,

00:40:48.760 to be, to be your senator.

00:40:49.960 She is a freaking code pink level activist. 1.00

00:40:54.320 She's a person who said that Arizona is the meth lab of democracy.

00:40:58.740 She's a person who's called people in Arizona dumb over and over and over again.

00:41:04.300 But wait, isn't that, but isn't that the same thing that people like me were saying to evangelicals?

00:41:10.500 How can you possibly vote for this person when his, he said he's never asked for forgiveness?

00:41:17.500 All of those things, right?

00:41:18.720 This is the point that was accepted by the right.

00:41:23.740 This is just now being accepted by the left, but they are on policy.

00:41:30.920 This was about him personally.

00:41:32.800 And so people were like, I'm not electing a priest.

00:41:35.560 I'm electing a president.

00:41:38.260 They didn't disagree with him on policy.

00:41:40.720 What they disagreed with him on, what you disagree with them on in Arizona is policy.

00:41:48.340 Democrats should wake up and go, okay, I'm blind from my hatred of Donald Trump.

00:41:53.860 And I think that the evangelicals sold their soul to the devil. 0.80

00:41:58.720 Well, they didn't disagree on policy.

00:42:02.820 You, hopefully, disagree on massive policy and don't even really like her.

00:42:09.940 You're just voting to stop him.

00:42:12.580 And that's my point.

00:42:13.280 I mean, this is not a, people are going to try to make this into a Donald Trump election.

00:42:17.580 And it does seem like, I mean, you said 70% of people are saying that that's a big factor in their vote.

00:42:22.320 But it's, you know, look at the individual race.

00:42:25.360 There's two people in front of you.

00:42:26.640 Who do you think is going to be the better representative of your state?

00:42:29.120 I can't imagine Arizona actually believes Sinema is going to be better than McSally in that state.

00:42:33.240 But it may happen.

00:42:34.040 It's a very, very close race.

00:42:35.220 Can you imagine, Stu, how big the wave would have been in 2010 had the media had this kind of support for the Tea Party?

00:42:46.940 Oh, my gosh.

00:42:47.780 I mean, think of this.

00:42:48.820 Imagine puff pieces like Beto is getting for Tea Party.

00:42:51.220 Oh, my gosh.

00:42:51.600 Tea Party candidates.

00:42:52.480 Last night, ABC running a puff piece on Planned Parenthood.

00:42:56.620 I mean, it's crazy what's going on and their puff pieces.

00:43:01.600 Imagine if they would have, if the Tea Party would have had this kind of positive coverage.

00:43:07.260 And what they didn't, and look at the giant wave.

00:43:12.060 Now they do.

00:43:14.300 And look at the not giant wave.

00:43:17.900 This is close.

00:43:19.300 It is very close.

00:43:19.940 And this is the reason why you see all these pollsters are saying they think the Republicans are going to hold the Senate.

00:43:25.840 Most of them think it's 80, 85 percent chance they will hold the Senate.

00:43:29.560 Really, only a quote unquote blue wave type of election actually gets the Democrats to control.

00:43:34.640 And the reason is there's massive structural advantages for Republicans in the Senate election.

00:43:39.840 If without anyone being elected here, these are absolute locks, 42 Republicans, 23 Democrats.

00:43:46.620 So we go into this election with Republicans having a 19 seat advantage in the Senate.

00:43:53.220 It's just a matter of fleshing out the rest.

00:43:55.300 Problem is a lot of these races are going to go to the Democrats that are undecided.

00:43:59.180 So if you go at just things that look like pretty sure things, likely, you know, safe seats and likely seats, you get to about 46 Republicans and about 41 Democrats.

00:44:14.600 So they're going to, you know, it's states like, you know, New York are going to go and Utah is going to go to Republicans.

00:44:19.940 And we're assuming all these things.

00:44:21.440 So it's 46, 41.

00:44:23.240 And then you get to the closer races in the middle there.

00:44:25.880 You have a couple that look like they're leaning towards Democrats, coupled like they're leaning towards Republicans and then a bunch in the middle.

00:44:32.440 So to get to 50, however, for Democrats, they not only have to win all their safe races and all their likely wins, they have to win their leaner races as well.

00:44:42.920 That gets them to 43.

00:44:47.860 So they would have to win seven of the nine toss up races.

00:44:51.460 Now, one of them is listed in the New York Times list.

00:44:54.160 Menendez is a toss up race.

00:44:55.460 I don't believe that that is a Democrat race.

00:44:57.340 You know, I think it's a leaner.

00:44:58.800 It's not impossible.

00:44:59.720 The Republican could win there.

00:45:00.620 But how many times do we have to be fooled by a freaking racist in New Jersey as Republicans?

00:45:04.600 It looks like Menendez is probably going to pull that off.

00:45:07.140 There's some polling that shows it close.

00:45:09.060 The other one in there in that group is Cruz.

00:45:11.180 Now, Cruz has had some polling that has showed him recently up only by three or four points.

00:45:17.920 But he is still the favorite in this race in Texas over Beto, despite the nine trillion dollars that Democrats are spending on it.

00:45:25.160 So if the Democrats can't get the Cruz seat, they would have to sweep all of the other toss up races, all of them.

00:45:33.820 And that's not likely.

00:45:36.220 I mean, you really look at some of these races.

00:45:38.220 Some of them are, I think, Republican favorites.

00:45:40.840 I think McCaskill is in serious trouble in Missouri.

00:45:46.720 I think there's a good poll in Florida, although most of the polling has showed the Democrats slightly ahead.

00:45:53.060 Scott actually was ahead in one poll in Florida today.

00:45:56.280 The Indiana race is a complete toss up.

00:45:59.560 Nevada is a toss up. 0.97

00:46:01.480 Tennessee is probably leaning towards Republicans.

00:46:04.160 If they can just win Cruz and Tennessee, they're going to hold the Senate.

00:46:07.180 And that's likely how this goes.

00:46:10.840 And they could after that, everything's gravy, right?

00:46:13.120 You're going into they could easily win five, six of these toss up races.

00:46:17.900 And in that case, they're going to have a nice, hefty advantage to get things passed.

00:46:21.820 Of course, doesn't mean that much unless you also hold the House.

00:46:25.840 It's going to be hard to get things through.

00:46:27.660 So the House has passed so many things that the Senate has just not acted on.

00:46:33.000 The if if the House is lost to the Democrats, we need to be on the phone with the Senate on Wednesday saying pass those bills, pass the bills that we've been waiting and passed by the the House.

00:46:51.820 Because you're not going to get any legislation through with the Democrats in control of the House.

00:46:58.520 And God forbid the Democrats in control of Congress, which I mean in control of the Senate as well.

00:47:04.420 I just don't think that's going to happen.

00:47:06.140 That stuff should be in session on Christmas morning.

00:47:08.160 Yeah, they should be still voting on stuff Christmas morning.

00:47:10.680 They shouldn't take one day off until that new Congress arrives.

00:47:14.700 That's absolutely true.

00:47:15.540 And I will tell you this, I they are so desperate, the press is so desperate for this to be true and a blue wave.

00:47:25.640 Just know this, no matter what happens, I mean, unless no Republicans show up, this is not a blue wave.

00:47:33.360 And no matter what happens, unless again, the Republicans lose everything they're expected to win.

00:47:42.280 This is this is nothing like what it usually is.

00:47:47.780 I'm not even talking about 2000 and what was it?

00:47:52.220 2010.

00:47:53.080 That wave with the Tea Party.

00:47:55.440 That's I'm talking about what it usually is when a president who is very active, usually they lose the House and maybe the House and the Senate when you get to midterms.

00:48:10.120 Because Americans just like to have the balance of power and the checks of balances. 0.60

00:48:15.060 If this is close, that says a ton, not about Donald Trump, but about how ineffective and how out of touch with the American people, their own voters, how out of touch the Democrats really are.

00:48:31.580 But all of this, all of this is just gobbledygook.

00:48:37.520 Look, if you're not out voting tomorrow, you have to go out and vote.

00:48:43.120 I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.

00:48:45.720 You have to go out and vote.

00:48:47.820 I care.

00:48:48.260 You shouldn't go out and vote if you're voting for Democrats.

00:48:50.180 I say that because that's the American thing.

00:48:54.380 We have to support everybody.

00:48:55.680 But I also will say the Democrats are going out and they're bussing every old person in a coma. 0.99

00:49:01.900 It is it is our responsibility.

00:49:04.840 Look for those people in your office that vote like you do, think like you do, but are like, I don't know if I get them in the car with you tomorrow to vote.

00:52:18.320 All right.

00:52:18.700 So let's continue our conversation about the election results and then your phone calls, 888-727-BECK.

00:52:27.040 So here are the latest poll numbers and some other facts that you should know going into the election tomorrow.

00:52:33.840 Yeah.

00:52:34.040 There's, it's interesting talking about the blue wave election.

00:52:36.560 Does this is really the, the, the thing you'd fear if you're a conservative or Republican, you want to pass some stuff.

00:52:42.820 The blue wave is the only way they're losing the Senate.

00:52:45.860 I mean, unless there's just not, unless things really go the Democrats way, they're not going to be able to pick up all these races.

00:52:52.640 Is it, is it accurate to say, Stu, that here in Texas, that the numbers for the Democrats are pretty good and same in Florida.

00:53:03.980 You know, we don't know, you know, how they voted, but the, the percentage of Republicans and Democrats, it's looking pretty good for Democrats.

00:53:11.300 Is it not early voting is, is a, is interesting to look at is also can be very misleading.

00:53:17.600 You don't know what it means.

00:53:18.680 The numbers for Texas, Nevada, Florida are all very good for Democrats. 0.80

00:53:22.380 It shows enthusiasm at times.

00:53:24.140 You can kind of read a little bit into it.

00:53:25.780 You can also read too much into it.

00:53:27.800 Think about this though.

00:53:28.960 Uh, I think it was 2014, about 70 million total people voted.

00:53:33.800 The last update I saw, and this was two days ago, where 33 million people have already voted.

00:53:40.300 So we're basically at half of what the entire electorate was last time.

00:53:46.240 There are some States where early voting has already passed the entire voting period from 2014.

00:53:52.640 Well, I believe that there's probably some places in America where, uh, the voting has already passed the entire population.

00:54:00.040 Uh, that's true too, uh, which is not supposed to happen at all.

00:54:04.480 Uh, but that, so it's interesting to see how this is, is going about the message you said right before the break, which is, Hey, don't take anything for granted.

00:54:11.100 You can't mean that more than in a place like Texas, uh, where, you know, you have a situation that the only way Beto is going, or excuse me, Robert Francis O'Rourke is going to beat Ted Cruz.

00:54:23.580 Is if Republicans don't bother showing up.

00:54:25.780 That's the only way.

00:54:26.440 We like to call him Bob Frank on this program.

00:54:28.440 Bob Frank O'Rourke.

00:54:28.840 Uh, yeah.

00:54:29.260 Bob Frank O'Rourke.

00:54:30.260 Now here's the thing in Texas, there is that possibility because the other side is so excited about even the possibility of being close.

00:54:42.700 They don't even have to, they're not excited about even winning.

00:54:45.720 They, they would like to win.

00:54:47.500 They think it's a long shot to win, but they are excited of even being close.

00:54:53.220 And so many people in Texas think, well, my vote doesn't matter anyway, because we're always going to go, you know, we're always going to go red.

00:55:00.840 So it doesn't matter.

00:55:02.160 No, no, no.

00:55:03.440 This could go the other way in Texas.

00:55:06.320 And I'm telling you now, if Ted Cruz, Beto is going to be a presidential candidate in 2020.

00:55:12.680 Assuming he doesn't get blown out here.

00:55:14.380 Yeah.

00:55:14.900 But if it's close, if it's close, he'll be a vice presidential candidate if he's blown out.

00:55:20.580 I don't know.

00:55:21.100 I think if he gets blown out, it's not going to, I mean, what's a blowout?

00:55:24.520 I think he's done if he, he's not done.

00:55:28.920 I mean, he could make a run later in life, but this, this run, this election on its own doesn't get him anywhere.

00:55:33.380 If he can't keep it within eight points.

00:55:36.140 And if he loses by more than four, uh, he's in, he's not going to get a huge bounce out of this.

00:55:42.660 He needs to keep it.

00:55:43.560 If he can get, if he loses this election by two points, he's going to be, you're right.

00:55:47.740 You're going to be big time, you know, potential for a vice president.

00:55:50.800 Because they will say, look, he almost won Texas.

00:55:54.660 Yeah.

00:55:55.140 He almost won Texas.

00:55:57.420 Where can't this guy win?

00:55:59.180 And I don't think it's eight.

00:56:00.540 I think a blowout for him to destroy him has to be 15 points.

00:56:04.760 Oh yeah.

00:56:05.080 I mean, and I don't think, I don't think that's happening.

00:56:06.940 I mean, I would love for it to happen.

00:56:08.020 I would love for the time.

00:56:08.960 I think it's going to be over 10 points.

00:56:10.640 I just, I don't see it, but I, I'm never good at predictions on these things.

00:56:15.120 It's tough.

00:56:15.560 I mean, look, we don't know.

00:56:16.380 I'm actually really good at destroying people's careers when I endorse.

00:56:20.540 So I endorse Bob Frank.

00:56:23.020 So let me give you three factors to think about as we go into the midterm election, when it

00:56:27.400 comes to whether there's a blue wave or not.

00:56:30.280 Number one, you kind of mentioned it at the beginning.

00:56:33.840 Typically what happens in a midterm election after a president is elected, the, everything

00:56:39.960 moves against the president's party.

00:56:42.440 Very typically all things being equal, we would expect Democrats to win a decent amount

00:56:48.440 of seats here, not necessarily to take over the house, but to win some seats.

00:56:51.920 The last time this didn't happen was 2002 on the heels of 9, 11.

00:56:57.660 So it is, you know, very, very common that this happens.

00:57:02.520 Barack Obama got absolutely hammered in the biggest wave election in a century in 2010

00:57:08.120 and then got hammered again in 2014.

00:57:10.500 People forget about that.

00:57:11.780 He did not do well in either of those midterms, midterm elections.

00:57:15.020 George W. Bush absolutely destroyed in 2006.

00:57:18.920 And, you know, it's been this way for a long time.

00:57:22.120 It's what is expected.

00:57:23.160 So that's factor number one to consider.

00:57:25.620 We would consider some normal movement to be towards the Democrats here.

00:57:29.820 Number two is the generic ballot.

00:57:31.620 Generic ballot is particularly useful in the house because there's so many races and it is,

00:57:36.520 it winds up being more of a measure of general climate.

00:57:40.100 What is the climate we're voting in?

00:57:41.920 If you look back at the general election and the general generic ballot between Democrats

00:57:47.980 and Republicans, basically all it asks is, hey, you're voting for the house.

00:57:51.000 Would you rather have Republicans or Democrats be elected?

00:57:52.940 The result of that poll leading up to these elections kind of tells the story.

00:57:58.800 You see in 2006, people were, it was a very pro-Democrat electorate in the general.

00:58:05.660 Opposite in 2010 and 2014, it favored Republicans.

00:58:09.120 And it was, and then in, you know, 2002, it favored Republicans.

00:58:13.060 It's this, it's the type of thing that kind of gives you a generic prediction.

00:58:17.220 Right now we're looking at a Democrat plus seven or eight is about the level.

00:58:21.500 Is that good, bad, or about the same?

00:58:23.280 What it would indicate is a moderate pickup for Democrats.

00:58:26.320 Not a wave, but a moderate pickup for Democrats.

00:58:29.400 So enough probably if history were to, you know, if past performance equaled future results

00:58:36.000 would be probably enough for the Democrats to take a slight edge in the house. 0.99

00:58:39.740 Would not be an overwhelming wave and just a little bit, a little bit, you know, where

00:58:46.280 Democrats don't show up, Republicans do show up a little bit more, could tilt it back to

00:58:50.200 Republicans.

00:58:50.600 Can you even imagine what Tuesday night, tomorrow night and Wednesday and the next 10 days, the

00:58:59.040 next two years will be like for the press if they don't win the house?

00:59:04.300 Oh my gosh.

00:59:05.260 And they just, or they just squeak by.

00:59:08.960 They'll turn that into a huge victory, but they'll know.

00:59:12.500 But if they lose, oh my gosh, the press will, they may all have aneurysms tomorrow night.

00:59:24.520 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:59:26.500 I'm going to take your phone calls 888-727-BECK here in a second.

00:59:29.560 But Stu had a third thing that shows that this is not going to be a blue wave.

00:59:35.080 It may be close and they may grab control of the House, doubtful the Senate, but it's

00:59:41.960 not going to be a wave.

00:59:42.960 Yeah, I still think they're the favorites in the House.

00:59:44.540 But again, when you're talking about a blue wave election that would maybe make them take

00:59:47.780 the Senate, Donald Trump's last approval rating was 46 percent, according to NBC, Wall Street

00:59:53.040 Journal.

00:59:53.840 That is just, I mean, it's just too high for a blue wave election, especially when we're

00:59:59.580 talking about people saying, hey, this is about Donald Trump's 70 percent of voters think

01:00:04.740 it's a big factor.

01:00:05.640 To give you a perspective on this, in 2006 was a really bad election for Republicans and

01:00:10.200 George W. Bush.

01:00:11.200 His approval rating at the time was 37 percent.

01:00:14.140 So the generic ballot points to a moderate victory for Democrats, not overwhelming.

01:00:20.240 The Trump approval rating does not align.

01:00:22.300 The partisan advantage doesn't seem to be new registrations don't seem to be trending

01:00:27.680 in a way that would be an overwhelming victory.

01:00:29.840 And remember, a lot of these races that are being counted in the idea that the Democrats

01:00:34.620 will even win the House at all, they are favored in, but it's really close, you know, within

01:00:39.380 a couple of points that Republicans don't need to win races that they're underdogs by 10

01:00:44.140 points to get the House.

01:00:45.180 They just need to perform well enough and pick off a few Democratic seats, Democratic favored

01:00:50.480 seats.

01:00:51.000 That's all they need to do.

01:00:51.980 I still think it is possible that they can win the House.

01:00:56.640 I don't know that they're the favorites.

01:00:58.240 The Republicans.

01:00:58.820 Yeah, they could still win it.

01:00:59.960 If all of us call in our contact list, if all of us call the people that we know that

01:01:09.500 should go out and vote, but tomorrow we'll make some excuse and they'll be like, I just

01:01:14.500 got busy.

01:01:15.160 Oh, I just couldn't do it.

01:01:17.020 And make sure that they're going.

01:01:18.960 And I mean, to the point of saying, I'm taking a sick day tomorrow and you go pick up those

01:01:24.500 people and you go drive them to the polls that, you know, people say, what can I do?

01:01:29.860 What can I do?

01:01:30.400 That's it.

01:01:31.480 Take a sick day tomorrow and drive people to the polls that are on your contact list that

01:01:39.000 you know and are going to just probably not do it because, oh, my vote doesn't matter or

01:01:46.840 I don't know or I'm too busy or I can't just say, come with me.

01:01:50.420 Will you come with me?

01:01:51.600 We're going to go pick up a bunch of friends tomorrow and we're all going to go and then

01:01:54.820 we'll go have lunch afterwards or we'll have dinner afterwards and it'll be fun.

01:01:58.180 Do that tomorrow.

01:02:01.440 That will make an impact.

01:02:03.340 Let me go to Maria in Ohio.

01:02:05.280 Hello, Maria.

01:02:06.020 Welcome to the program.

01:02:07.740 Hey, guys.

01:02:08.540 How are you?

01:02:09.240 Good morning.

01:02:10.080 Very good.

01:02:10.660 A little tired from last night.

01:02:12.100 We were just in Cleveland last night.

01:02:14.280 Yeah, I know.

01:02:14.960 I was there and the stupid heckler showed up like right by us.

01:02:18.980 We're like, now you show up.

01:02:20.260 We were waiting outside like, where are the hecklers?

01:02:22.580 We really wanted to engage and talk to some people.

01:02:25.180 So wait a minute.

01:02:26.520 Wait, wait, wait.

01:02:26.900 Can you tell me, because last night we had a heckler and it came in the weirdest part

01:02:32.000 because I was talking about, you know, how we can come together and what brings us together.

01:02:37.540 And this heckler stands up with just vitriol and starts calling me all kinds of names, including

01:02:43.300 Oral Redenbacher.

01:02:45.740 Orville Redenbacher.

01:02:47.120 I was dressed as Colonel Sanders.

01:02:50.140 Right.

01:02:50.720 I mean, how did you miss that?

01:02:52.240 And can we point out the obvious with Orville Redenbacher?

01:02:55.100 He's skinny.

01:02:55.600 He's way too thin for you.

01:02:57.120 There's no, it's just not.

01:02:58.520 I mean, the hair, sure, but it doesn't make any sense.

01:03:01.100 So we were talking after the show.

01:03:02.480 What set this guy off?

01:03:05.520 Was he in there next to you the whole time?

01:03:08.200 No.

01:03:08.680 I mean, he just showed up.

01:03:10.040 We were listening to everything you were saying.

01:03:12.120 All of a sudden, you hear him and I'm like, wait, did I hear that right?

01:03:14.640 My son's sitting next to me.

01:03:15.800 And he's just going off.

01:03:17.380 And he has this big can of beer or something in his hand.

01:03:20.280 And I'm looking at him going, what an idiot.

01:03:22.840 I'm like, really?

01:03:23.740 I go, just like you said, you waited through the whole show to finally say something.

01:03:28.020 Maybe you learned something.

01:03:29.200 I go, maybe he didn't because he was calling you Orville Redenbacher instead of Colonel Sanders.

01:03:34.740 I'm like, you're a bonehead, dude.

01:03:36.660 Yeah, that was really bad.

01:03:38.340 It was almost, it almost felt like in future shows, we should plant someone to do that at

01:03:42.800 that exact moment.

01:03:43.840 Because nothing could have made the point you were making better than some idiot standing

01:03:49.120 up and calling you Orville Redenbacher.

01:03:50.580 Yeah, because I was talking about, we can't be like they are.

01:03:54.840 We can't, we can't, we can't just yell stupid stuff at each other.

01:04:00.420 It was almost, it almost felt like a setup.

01:04:02.160 Yeah, it really did.

01:04:03.160 It was so perfect.

01:04:03.860 Well, you're just stupid and you look like Orville Redenbacher.

01:04:10.120 I didn't even know what to say.

01:04:11.820 I was just like, okay, thank you.

01:04:14.340 That's a good point.

01:04:15.080 That's a good point.

01:04:16.700 And especially the way you made it.

01:04:18.440 Maria, thanks so much for being there.

01:04:20.180 Patty, also in Ohio.

01:04:21.680 Were you at the show last night?

01:04:22.840 Patty?

01:04:24.540 Yes, actually, we had front row seats for that last night.

01:04:28.340 Nice.

01:04:28.860 Nice.

01:04:29.500 Yeah, I'm actually driving back to Michigan this morning.

01:04:32.640 I'm from Michigan, but we drove to Ohio for the show.

01:04:36.060 I think I remember you were with your daughter?

01:04:40.060 My daughter, Sydney, yes.

01:04:41.620 Yes.

01:04:42.120 I remember you yesterday.

01:04:44.820 We were at the meet and greet together.

01:04:46.360 It was nice to meet you.

01:04:47.820 What did your daughter think about this?

01:04:49.480 Nice to meet you as well.

01:04:49.620 Actually, one of her favorite parts was the bucket of pierogies, if I'm being honest.

01:04:58.040 I discovered that the secret is not the 12 herbs and spices or 11 herbs and spices of the kernel.

01:05:04.880 It's that it's food in a bucket.

01:05:06.680 And so we just put we filled it with pierogies.

01:05:10.660 And I was I was kind of happy and yet kind of disturbed to find out that the two buckets of pierogies that we handed out to the crowd last night were completely eaten.

01:05:22.740 All of them.

01:05:24.660 All of them.

01:05:25.480 Yeah, everybody shared.

01:05:26.580 Everybody took one was really nice and respectful.

01:05:29.080 Passed it on.

01:05:29.840 Right.

01:05:30.320 Right.

01:05:31.240 They were sitting backstage for like two hours prior.

01:05:33.920 They had to be cold and Patty, what she enjoyed it anyway. 0.95

01:05:38.760 She enjoyed it.

01:05:39.420 Good.

01:05:39.900 Thank you very much.

01:05:40.760 I appreciate it.

01:05:42.400 All right.

01:05:42.700 Thank you.

01:05:43.380 God bless.

01:05:44.500 We are going out again.

01:05:46.000 This time we're going to be doing a Florida tour.

01:05:48.700 And I think we're in Tampa and Orlando in a couple of weeks.

01:05:53.440 And it's it's a fun show.

01:05:55.860 It's a really fun show.

01:05:57.220 And I I can't thank you enough for being who you are.

01:06:04.320 I just thank you.

01:06:05.640 I know.

01:06:06.000 That's really nice to say.

01:06:06.820 And I appreciate not you.

01:06:08.720 I went hating you and I left hating you even more.

01:06:14.400 But the audience is so great.

01:06:17.560 They are.

01:06:17.960 And it just it restores your hope in people.

01:06:22.180 It really does.

01:06:23.140 Yeah.

01:06:23.600 Really restores your hope in people.

01:06:25.000 Yeah.

01:06:25.100 I forgot how much I like to do in that.

01:06:26.240 That's a lot of fun.

01:06:27.040 Yeah.

01:06:27.800 It's it's pretty interesting.

01:06:29.160 It was a great time to do it, too.

01:06:30.140 We're a few days before the election.

01:06:31.320 People are fired up and there is a lot to talk about.

01:06:35.660 You know, I don't know.

01:06:36.420 I really don't know what's going to happen here.

01:06:38.740 I mean, you know, you could you could talk about there's not an obvious thing.

01:06:42.160 I mean, I think a lot of times back in 2016, most media sources treated as fairly obvious Donald Trump was going to lose.

01:06:49.480 And he was definitely the underdog in the race here.

01:06:52.360 I think they're a little more hesitant because they're scared to to get one like this wrong again.

01:06:57.860 They don't they don't want to predict.

01:06:59.480 I'm telling you.

01:07:01.100 They will.

01:07:02.100 I think some will be institutionalized.

01:07:04.940 The members of the media, if they don't pick up the house, I think they will.

01:07:12.980 Can you imagine they are going to be full on?

01:07:16.400 America is just a racist country.

01:07:18.340 I mean, they all may move to Canada, which would be a dream come true.

01:07:24.400 I mean, they are they won't know how to deal with that.

01:07:28.660 They've spent the last three years, really, but for sure the last two years doing everything they can to demonize the right to demonize the the president to demonize everything that is going on.

01:07:44.660 And if I mean, if they were honest, they would know that they've already lost because this should be if those things were true about Donald Trump and America, this would be a runaway election for the Democrats.

01:08:01.080 But the Democrats are so unhinged and things like Kavanaugh and Democratic Socialism, where they're saying, you know, capitalism is not going to be here forever.

01:08:13.500 No, thank you.

01:08:15.180 Yeah.

01:08:15.300 I mean, you think if they get this one wrong and again, they are to be fair, they're saying the Republicans are going to hold the Senate, too.

01:08:21.820 So we don't know what part of the house.

01:08:24.540 If they don't if they don't pick up the house, a rational person would look at what what their approach was and why it was it didn't work and stop doing the same thing and stop doing the same thing.

01:08:37.300 And I don't think that they're capable of it.

01:08:38.800 I don't think, you know, John Stewart, who, you know, I'm not a fan of, but John Stewart made a really interesting point.

01:08:43.580 And I think it's true in that these fights between the media and the president, the media likes because to them, it elevates them to the level of the president.

01:08:53.440 Yes.

01:08:53.800 They get an ego boost because I'm taking on the president one on one.

01:08:57.740 And so they keep they keep going back to this well of just fighting with him and trying to just, you know, argue these points and their complete life obsession with everything this person.

01:09:08.340 And there is I will tell you there's something as somebody who is taken on by the Obama administration.

01:09:12.940 And I mean, we knew they had we had their attention every day at five o'clock.

01:09:18.580 We knew it.

01:09:19.200 And it is there is something about that feeling of they're watching.

01:09:24.860 They're watching.

01:09:25.880 They're reacting.

01:09:27.240 And it it is it's bad for an ego.

01:09:32.100 I mean, I mean, it's good for an ego unless you want to try to keep your ego under control.

01:09:36.920 Right.

01:09:37.040 It it does a lot to say I am super, super powerful.

01:09:41.200 But if you'll notice, I left Fox.

01:09:45.080 I left Fox.

01:09:46.300 Why?

01:09:46.620 Because the things that the things that are are happening were not making the impact in 2012.

01:09:59.020 Or was it 2000?

01:10:00.220 Yeah.

01:10:00.360 2012 when he was reelected.

01:10:02.260 It obviously didn't work.

01:10:04.620 It obviously didn't work.

01:10:06.080 Now, it held some things back at bay, but it didn't work to change people's minds.

01:10:11.280 They were just hardened in their positions.

01:10:13.540 They're just hardening people in their positions.

01:10:16.220 And in fact, I think they're actually bringing more people over to the president's side than they're than they're hurting him.

01:10:23.660 So I think that's true.

01:10:26.440 I don't think they're winning anybody over with the way they're doing this way.

01:10:29.400 They like the way they treated Kavanaugh, the way they treat Donald Trump to where the Pittsburgh shooter.

01:10:35.740 The guy hated Donald Trump hated him and for them to say, well, that's Donald Trump's fault.

01:10:43.120 They make absolutely everything.

01:10:45.840 If somebody is diagnosed with cancer today, it will be Donald Trump's fault if it rises to the level of CNN noticing it.

01:10:53.980 I mean, absolutely everything.

01:10:56.120 And Americans at the core are fair.

01:11:00.360 They don't like bullies.

01:11:02.280 And so they may not like Donald Trump because they may think he's a bully.

01:11:04.860 But they see this dog pile that accuses him of everything and they don't like it.

01:11:13.680 And it's driving, I think, more people to defend Donald Trump.

01:11:17.660 We certainly saw a bump in the polls after Kavanaugh because of this, I think.

01:11:21.000 You know, Kavanaugh, after the Kavanaugh thing happened.

01:11:23.180 And remember, this is a point where the media was telling us, well, if Kavanaugh goes through like this, the American people are going to turn.

01:11:29.600 They don't want they don't want some rapist going through to the Supreme Court. 0.86

01:11:32.220 They're going to turn on Republicans.

01:11:33.120 You know, first of all, we're seeing, of course, all these women now coming out and saying they were lying, which was another one.

01:11:38.280 Exactly.

01:11:38.840 Friday, Friday or Saturday.

01:11:40.480 Another one came out and said, I made it all up.

01:11:43.180 We were on the air saying we have to account for that.

01:11:46.580 None of us want to believe that.

01:11:48.660 But it is possible.

01:11:50.380 Now look at it.

01:11:51.260 There's one left, one left.

01:11:52.920 And again, the one with no evidence.

01:11:54.320 But there's only one left that hasn't basically admitted that they were lying or fudging the truth.

01:11:59.840 And not even basically the one Friday.

01:12:02.920 Admitted she lied.

01:12:03.920 Admitted she lied.

01:12:04.880 Two of them have come out and said specifically they lied.

01:12:08.680 They did not tell the truth.

01:12:10.020 There's been two others that, you know, said they had sources.

01:12:12.480 And those sources said, no, that didn't happen.

01:12:15.260 So there's only one left.

01:12:18.040 The one that testified that said, hey, you know, I mean, even the press is now coming up and saying, you know, they're saying now about the Avenatti accuser.

01:12:24.780 Oh, no one, no one ever believed that.

01:12:27.300 Then why did you report it over and over again?

01:12:28.760 Why were you reporting it all the time and acting like it was true at the time?

01:12:31.520 Oh, my gosh.

01:12:32.180 I mean, it's infuriating.

01:12:33.500 Oh, my gosh.

01:12:33.660 But that bump, that bump, that initial reaction, the emotion after Kavanaugh in a lot of the polls has faded back.

01:12:40.580 You know, when that happened, you saw Tennessee become a double-digit race. 0.70

01:12:43.800 You saw Texas with Cruz become a double-digit race.

01:12:47.180 That effect has faded.

01:12:48.540 I mean, the votes tomorrow are really important.

01:12:51.080 If you think your race is locked up because you've seen a double-digit poll where your person is leading, you can't take it that way because it's not that environment.

01:12:58.280 And these races are going to be close.

01:12:59.480 Yep.

01:12:59.900 Every single one.

01:13:00.760 And we're going to be covering them beginning tomorrow at 6 p.m.

01:13:03.840 You don't want to miss it.

01:13:15.420 Join us tomorrow at 6 p.m.

01:13:19.160 All right.

01:13:19.580 As e-commerce continues its explosive growth, so do phishing scams.

01:13:25.420 Recent report says the last year there has been a 297% increase in the number of fake retail websites designed to phish for customers' credentials.

01:13:37.280 That's amazing.

01:13:38.360 300%?

01:13:39.880 The cyber criminals use your IP address, and then they get your credit card, and they use it as a shipping address from each of them from a different country, and they pull off these phishing scams.

01:13:53.540 And you need somebody to find out, how can I stop it?

01:13:59.300 LifeLock.com can stop it.

01:14:01.880 Now they also have Norton Security.

01:14:04.540 So the new LifeLock has the theft protection and the power of Norton Security to protect you against the threats on your devices.

01:14:12.360 Nobody else does this.

01:14:13.680 Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft, or monitor all transactions at all business.

01:14:18.440 But LifeLock with Norton Security is going to see the threats that you're going to miss.

01:14:23.220 It's LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK.

01:14:43.560 Welcome to the program.

01:14:44.820 We're so glad you're here.

01:14:46.640 We have Dan Crenshaw on with us next.

01:14:50.380 He is a guy, of course, that was made fun of by Saturday Night Live.

01:14:53.880 He's running here in Texas, and they thought it was funny to make fun of his disability.

01:14:59.720 And I love the way he has handled this.

01:15:02.180 He's like, I don't need an apology.

01:15:03.540 I don't want an apology.

01:15:04.560 It was in poor taste, but let's move on with our lives.

01:15:07.420 I love that.

01:15:08.940 Yeah, and he made the point to say, you know what?

01:15:10.780 We got to get away from this.

01:15:11.760 Everybody demands an apology every time someone makes a joke or says something stupid.

01:15:16.100 I love that a guy, it would be so easy a couple of days before an election for this guy to try to take advantage of this situation and say, I can't believe my, you know, and play it up.

01:15:26.960 Play the victim card.

01:15:28.040 He won't play the victim card.

01:15:28.860 He has every reason to.

01:15:30.200 Every reason to.

01:15:30.800 He has every reason.

01:15:31.560 And righteous indignation.

01:15:33.780 Yeah.

01:15:34.000 He lost his eye serving his country.

01:15:36.600 He's freaking in the military, though.

01:15:37.620 And they mock him.

01:15:37.960 He's not playing the victim card.

01:15:38.900 I know.

01:15:39.200 I love it.

01:15:40.040 That's why I love him.

01:15:40.880 Love it.

01:15:41.160 I don't know anything else about him.

01:15:42.620 We haven't talked about him at all, but this, I just love the idea that he's not playing the victim card.

01:15:47.440 All right, so he's going to be on in just a few minutes.

01:15:49.720 Also, tomorrow, if you can take the day off tomorrow from work and go through your contact list and call people that you know should be voting but might make an excuse and take them to the polls.

01:16:04.820 Make it a day.

01:16:07.400 Glenn Beck.

01:16:08.140 Glenn Beck.

01:16:08.940 It's Monday, November 5th.

01:16:11.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:13.120 So we talk about comedy a lot here on the program because comedy is really, really important.

01:16:18.160 Laughter is important.

01:16:19.300 We have to be able to make fun of each other and fun of ourselves.

01:16:23.060 And honestly, if you can't make fun of yourself, you should not be making fun of other people.

01:16:27.420 It is a great coping mechanism and one of the things we need.

01:16:32.880 And it's quite honestly why people like Jim Gaffigan are doing so well right now, because he's not using comedy as a weapon.

01:16:41.140 He is allowing it to be a release.

01:16:44.740 All too often, it is now turned into a weapon, and all too often, it is aimed at conservatives.

01:16:50.760 Saturday Night Live is a great case in point.

01:16:53.060 Last Saturday, but really, it's the last decade or so, the problem with SNL's so-called comedy is that it's not funny.

01:17:02.180 It's always not been funny.

01:17:04.740 They've never known how to end comedy bits.

01:17:08.200 That is traditional.

01:17:09.700 And only once in a while, some seasons, have they been funny.

01:17:14.140 But that was before the invention of what I like to call clapter.

01:17:19.880 It's not laughter.

01:17:20.880 It's, oh my gosh, that is a great point that makes me feel like I'm so very smart.

01:17:29.700 Many left-leaning people talk about SNL skits, and they don't laugh.

01:17:36.060 It's not enjoyable in that way.

01:17:38.640 It's clapter.

01:17:40.100 I'm superior.

01:17:41.500 Oh, yes, that's what everybody thinks.

01:17:43.660 Well, this weekend offered the perfect example with Pete Davidson's clunky segment during Weekend Update.

01:17:50.520 He gave impressions of some of the candidates.

01:17:55.240 And, you know, look, if you can make fun of yourself, you can make fun of others.

01:17:58.420 But is there a line?

01:17:59.860 I say as long as everybody is in on the joke, you can make jokes.

01:18:05.960 But the left would tell you never, ever about somebody who has any kind of condition or handicapped or difference.

01:18:15.980 How dare you make fun of that?

01:18:17.840 Well, Texas congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw, who is a Navy SEAL, did five tours of duty.

01:18:25.700 He wears an eye patch now because he lost his right eye when he was hit by an IED blast in 2012.

01:18:32.440 He was medically retired.

01:18:33.940 He has two bronze stars, the Purple Heart and the Navy Accommodation Medal with valor.

01:18:41.180 So after they make fun of him for wearing an eye patch.

01:18:46.700 No class.

01:18:48.740 Let me play for you how Mr. Crenshaw showed all class in his response.

01:18:56.120 I want us to get away from this culture where we demand apologies every time someone misspeaks.

01:19:00.320 I think that would be a very healthy for our nation to go in that direction.

01:19:04.760 You know, we don't need to be we don't need to be outwardly outraged.

01:19:08.160 I don't need to demand apologies from them.

01:19:10.420 They can do whatever they want.

01:19:12.060 You know, it's they're feeling the heat from around the country right now.

01:19:16.600 And that's that's fine.

01:19:17.860 But I would like him and Saturday Night Live to recognize something, which is that veterans across the country probably don't feel as though their wounds they received in battle.

01:19:29.280 should be the subject of a bad punchline for a bad joke.

01:19:32.940 And here's the real atrocity of all this.

01:19:35.400 It wasn't even funny.

01:19:37.420 No, but it did get clapped or Mr. Crenshaw joins us now.

01:19:42.000 Hello, Dan.

01:19:42.520 How are you, sir?

01:19:44.000 I'm doing well.

01:19:44.840 Thanks for having me, Glenn.

01:19:46.260 First of all, thank you for your service and your your sacrifice.

01:19:49.500 Um, uh, but let me talk a little bit about, um, do were you watching Saturday Night Live when it happened?

01:19:57.480 Well, I, I don't make a habit of watching Saturday Night Live, so I did not see it, but I did get a lot of text about it in the morning.

01:20:05.660 Right.

01:20:05.880 So every single one of my Navy SEAL friends wrote to me and said, you have to take this on.

01:20:11.760 And I went and I watched it and it, it, you know, it just wasn't funny to make fun of somebody who lost and to take it so flippantly say, I don't know, he lost his eye in a war or whatever.

01:20:22.800 Um, I just don't think it's, it's funny to, to do that, um, on either side.

01:20:29.220 Um, however, what I was really impressed with is the way you responded.

01:20:35.360 How, how come you responded this way when you had every reason to have righteous indignation and use this for your political gain?

01:20:45.300 Well, you know, I, I, I, I simply responded the way I actually felt, which was a little exasperated by the whole thing.

01:20:56.540 Um, a little annoyed because I have been, I have been watching these shows like, uh, Saturday Night Live and a lot of the late shows really deteriorate into, into simply political platforms as opposed to good comedy.

01:21:09.640 And, uh, so you mentioned your seal friends, you know, uh, seals have pretty thick skin, right.

01:21:16.540 And we like to make fun of each other.

01:21:18.080 And, um, but, but there's always been sort of a lot of the conversation I always had with my friends.

01:21:22.420 I'm like, Hey, you know what?

01:21:24.040 It's fair game, but it has to actually be funny and it has to actually be original and witty.

01:21:29.480 And, and this just went far beyond that.

01:21:31.480 I mean, the first part of, of, of what he said was just kind of strange, frankly, didn't make sense.

01:21:37.100 Um, but it was the last part where, you know, lost it in war or whatever that's, listen, I don't have to be offended by that.

01:21:44.900 I don't, I don't have to be outraged by that.

01:21:47.100 That doesn't mean what he said isn't offensive, right?

01:21:49.500 Because it's not just me.

01:21:50.640 I have to think about, I do have to think about all the veterans who are disfigured from war and now feel like they're fair game for just, you know, warring laughter from the crowd.

01:22:01.760 I thought that was, I thought that was a little strange.

01:22:04.260 And I think a lot of us veterans are just looking at that and thinking, well, why is that funny?

01:22:09.440 You know, we, we, we, we truly, we just don't, don't see the joke and it just, just be funny, be funny, do your job and be funny.

01:22:16.200 Like you put some work into it.

01:22:17.520 It's supposed to be an art, you know, but they're not.

01:22:20.760 And that's, that's the real tragedy here.

01:22:22.260 I will tell you that I have a lot of veteran fans who, to make others feel comfortable, make fun of their lost limb or whatever, and they go out of their way.

01:22:34.300 And it's usually very funny when they're making fun of it.

01:22:38.340 And so it's not a lack of a sense of humor on it.

01:22:41.320 It's just an appropriate sense of humor on it.

01:22:45.120 And, you know, for instance, we always say in our family, you know, we wreck each other hard and it's a sign of love in our family, but we don't wreck people that we don't know.

01:22:56.420 It's not like you're coming into our house and we just start wrecking you.

01:22:59.760 You have to be kind of part of the family and, and, uh, be loved if we're going to wreck you in that sort of a way.

01:23:07.380 Cause we know you'd wreck us just as hard for whatever it is we've got going on in our life.

01:23:13.180 Well, I think there's a basic social etiquette that kind of keeps our country together.

01:23:17.540 And, you know, we're, we're, we're seeing that fraying quite a bit, that, that social fabric and, and, and, and basic manners and basic etiquette.

01:23:25.700 And this is, this is just an example of that.

01:23:28.340 Um, can I, can I play, can I play devil's advocate on that?

01:23:31.860 What would you say to the, the people at CNN, that, uh, at CNN or SNL that might respond and say, oh, really it's etiquette?

01:23:40.600 Well, what about Donald Trump?

01:23:42.500 Oh, I was actually, that was actually where I was going with this point.

01:23:45.680 Um, that, that, that is the counter argument constantly.

01:23:49.220 Um, and I'm seeing it all over Twitter.

01:23:51.380 Uh, I, I'm, I'm seeing that coming from the left.

01:23:54.060 They say, oh, well, Trump in my response to that is what on earth does Trump have to do with a conversation between Saturday night live and myself?

01:24:05.000 You know, I mean, it's just, it's wholly inappropriate.

01:24:08.140 Two things can be true at once here.

01:24:10.120 All right.

01:24:10.600 Some things the president said might've been inappropriate.

01:24:14.260 Also, this is inappropriate.

01:24:16.360 Two things can be true at once.

01:24:17.620 It's okay to say that you don't have to do what about is among this.

01:24:21.500 And, um, they're making themselves look bad by, by trying to claim that somehow this is the president's fault.

01:24:25.700 I mean, what else can we blame the president for?

01:24:27.260 I mean, it's, it, it, it really does become a very ridiculous conversation at some point.

01:24:31.860 So you have been a crazy candidate.

01:24:33.920 Um, you, from a field of nine candidates, you won, uh, by 155, uh, votes.

01:24:42.980 Then in the, uh, the runoff, you won with 70% of the votes.

01:24:49.920 You are, you're running for Ted Poe's seat in Congress.

01:24:53.560 He's retiring.

01:24:54.920 Um, you've kind of come out of nowhere here and you're not getting any of the Beto coverage.

01:25:00.620 Um, what is the message that is connecting with people?

01:25:05.160 Well, that's a good question.

01:25:06.440 Yeah, we, we've run, we're running almost a year now.

01:25:09.040 And, uh, you know, we barely made it into the, the runoff.

01:25:12.880 Texas primaries are very early and we, we just came out with what, just 155 point vote margin.

01:25:18.600 Uh, I think what people like is, is the fact that I talk to them like they're people.

01:25:22.960 All right.

01:25:23.600 We, you know, politicians get a little bit too wrapped around political talking points and

01:25:28.800 we forget to explain why we believe what we believe.

01:25:32.220 You know, we, we, we forget to explain a few layers deep, um, maybe because we think we'll

01:25:37.140 get misquoted or maybe because we think voters can't take it.

01:25:39.760 Well, they can't, and they do want to hear it.

01:25:41.200 They do want to hear a little bit more deeper reasoning on, on, on why we believe entitlement

01:25:45.900 reform is important or, or how we're going to fix the flooding issues in Houston, um,

01:25:50.800 or how we're going to keep our nation safe.

01:25:52.420 They appreciate an ability to articulate conservative values in a way that is persuasive and convincing

01:25:58.280 and, and, and we'll, and we'll grow our base as opposed to just talking to ourselves constantly.

01:26:03.300 So I think they liked that.

01:26:05.100 And the other thing I really like to do is, is go from, um, either play video, either play

01:26:11.480 video games or not answer your phone.

01:26:13.400 I'm not sure what that is, but that's okay.

01:26:18.100 Don't worry about it.

01:26:19.320 Yeah.

01:26:19.560 I like to do retail politics.

01:26:20.780 I like to just go find people where, where, where, you know, where their lives are happening,

01:26:25.300 whether they're having a beer or having dinner and we just go talk to folks.

01:26:28.340 And, uh, in the end, politics is not all that complicated in the end.

01:26:31.780 You just have to connect with people and, um, know inside yourself why you're running and

01:26:38.200 be able to express that to, to voters.

01:26:40.640 So why is it, why are you running, Dan?

01:26:43.320 What is it?

01:26:43.980 The thing that drives you, uh, what's the, what's the thing that keeps you up at night

01:26:49.800 and says, you have to go to Washington to this cesspool because why?

01:26:55.260 Well, so, uh, I'll, I'll give you two kinds of forms of answers to that, you know, from

01:27:00.840 a, from a policy perspective for the Houston area, it's flooding infrastructure, it's border

01:27:05.980 security, it's economic freedom, it's, it's entitlement reform, it's getting control of

01:27:09.700 our debt.

01:27:10.380 Okay.

01:27:11.020 On a, on a more deeper, maybe philosophical reason, I, I, I have, I have the sense and it's,

01:27:17.600 I think it's backed up by reality that the Republican party is losing the next generation.

01:27:22.260 And I don't feel like we're articulating the why about what we believe very well.

01:27:27.480 I don't think that we're, that we're articulating how important foundational principles are.

01:27:31.440 I don't think that we're articulating that our, our approach to government, this idea of

01:27:35.460 limited government and local control and, and, and responsible and sustainable spending

01:27:41.320 as a sustainable, uh, role of federal government.

01:27:45.020 Those are the ways that we should be explaining.

01:27:47.040 Like, this is, this is how, this is the principles behind why this policy makes sense.

01:27:51.920 Don't start with the policy, start with those principles.

01:27:54.240 It helps people understand where we're coming from.

01:27:56.540 It helps the left understand that we're not in fact evil.

01:27:59.340 We do have hearts.

01:28:00.920 All right.

01:28:01.520 But, but what we actually believe in is a sustainable way to govern.

01:28:04.840 And we believe in putting the maximum amount of control at the local level.

01:28:08.360 That's what it means to be a Republican.

01:28:10.360 And we, and we, and we frame all that within a system of virtue, you know, and, and, and

01:28:16.140 I'll steal Dennis Prager's line on this and know what a conservative stand for.

01:28:19.100 Just look at a coin.

01:28:20.480 De pluribus unum.

01:28:21.400 We don't believe in dividing people up in tribes.

01:28:23.320 Liberty.

01:28:24.000 We will, we always ask the question, is this giving us more liberty or less liberty?

01:28:27.260 And then we, and then we frame that within, in God we trust because we know we can't have

01:28:31.620 perfect liberty without a moral foundation.

01:28:35.040 That moral foundation is found in God.

01:28:38.520 Dan, I really like you.

01:28:40.360 I really like you.

01:28:41.700 Um, uh, I'm expecting that you are going to win.

01:28:44.740 May I make a, uh, a recommendation to you?

01:28:47.880 Um, people go to Washington all the time and they lose their soul.

01:28:51.760 And I can tell just talking to you that you, you have a pretty firm grip on that.

01:28:56.700 Um, may I make a recommendation that you make a, a declaration to yourself that maybe only

01:29:02.880 you and your wife see, and you really think it through before you're sworn in.

01:29:07.340 Uh, and, uh, you check it from time to time because people go to Washington and they start

01:29:13.720 making compromises and excuses.

01:29:16.260 And what you just said about our principles and our values and our founding, uh, uh, foundation,

01:29:23.880 everything that we're built on the constitution, the declaration and the bill of rights.

01:29:28.440 We have a lot of people in Washington that don't actually defend those things now.

01:29:34.660 And I don't know if they actually even believe them anymore.

01:29:37.900 Please write down what you really believe and check it from some time and, and write on

01:29:43.460 there to don't make excuses for yourself, Dan.

01:29:47.200 So you're scolding your future self in case you start to go awry.

01:29:53.380 I like that approach, Glenn.

01:29:54.900 And I, uh, I respect you a great deal.

01:29:57.100 I think I'll follow your advice on that.

01:29:58.740 Thank you, Dan.

01:29:59.300 I really appreciate it.

01:30:00.320 I wish you all the luck tomorrow and thanks for being cool about Saturday Night Live.

01:30:03.880 We don't need more victims.

01:30:05.840 No, we don't.

01:30:06.840 That's exactly right.

01:30:07.740 I've never seen myself.

01:30:09.000 Yeah.

01:30:09.500 I appreciate you having me on.

01:30:10.740 Thank you, man.

01:30:11.300 I appreciate it.

01:30:12.100 I'd never met a seal that does see themselves as a victim.

01:30:15.020 That's great.

01:30:15.980 Yeah, I love that approach.

01:30:17.860 All right.

01:30:18.140 He's Texas second congressional district, uh, and he is, uh, trying to take over for Ted

01:30:23.640 Poe. 0.72

01:30:24.760 Uh, the vote is tomorrow.

01:30:30.540 Since about a year before I left Fox, uh, I have been having medical issues and, uh, there

01:30:38.640 are several things that happened, but one of the things that is, um, as has remained the

01:30:43.580 whole time is pain and, um, it's, it's, it's sometimes excruciating last night on the flight

01:30:49.600 home was kind of an excruciating, uh, night.

01:30:52.160 I don't fly well.

01:30:53.760 And, um, uh, and so I got to the end of my rope really last, what was it, uh, last December.

01:31:02.240 And I was talking to my wife and I'm like, I can't live this way anymore.

01:31:04.960 And I don't want to take drugs from the doctor, but I just can't do it anymore.

01:31:08.520 And we started taking relief factor.

01:31:10.660 She said, you take it.

01:31:11.520 I'll take it.

01:31:12.400 You have to take it three times a day.

01:31:14.060 And I am telling you, I tried it for three weeks.

01:31:17.160 That's what I said.

01:31:17.800 Cause I didn't, I, you know, oh, it's on, you know, it's all natural.

01:31:21.360 Oh, then it's not going to work.

01:31:22.980 Uh, that's kind of my attitude.

01:31:24.860 This was created by doctors and it helps fight your body's inflammation, which is where

01:31:29.660 most of our pain comes from.

01:31:31.260 I made the deal.

01:31:32.440 I would take it for three weeks.

01:31:33.740 If it didn't say anything, I'm not going to take it anymore.

01:31:35.540 Well, 70% of the people who take the three week quick start go on to order month after

01:31:41.720 month because it works just like it worked for me.

01:31:45.440 I am most days out of pain.

01:31:48.860 It is, it's a miracle for me.

01:31:51.900 You owe it to yourself.

01:31:53.300 If you were in pain, just to try it for three weeks.

01:31:56.800 If, if it doesn't work for you, well, just check that box you've tried.

01:32:00.700 But if it does, you get your life back.

01:32:05.140 Try it.

01:32:06.120 relieffactor.com

01:32:07.440 relieffactor.com

01:32:10.020 Okay.

01:32:12.060 So for anybody who's been asking for an interspecies breeding, uh, film, a horror movie, um, you

01:32:20.320 know, that's, uh, we've got it for you and it's made by a candidate, a guy who is running

01:32:25.760 for a seat on the board of education tomorrow.

01:32:29.540 His name is Edward X young, and he is the star of the soon to be released Bigfoot blood 0.99

01:32:36.980 trap.

01:32:37.640 And what's being described as a ultra low budget horror movie that was made, uh, last

01:32:44.760 summer and is, um, becoming kind of controversial.

01:32:50.260 Now he said, you know, when you're running for office, you don't typically put together

01:32:56.220 a project like this, right?

01:32:57.380 He said, we were thinking about doing a horror movie.

01:32:59.300 Ed said, you know, what would be great is if we had a, uh, horror movie about Bigfoot

01:33:06.280 and people trying to have sex with Bigfoot, the film's violent sexual content, uh, has,

01:33:14.040 uh, people warning now, maybe, maybe, maybe young.

01:33:18.040 Isn't the guy that should be making decisions for children.

01:33:22.080 Hmm.

01:33:22.700 Um, now where are they getting that from?

01:33:24.480 Does it, does the article go into depth about why someone would come up with a thought like

01:33:28.320 that?

01:33:28.580 Uh, well, it, it says in blood trap, he plays a crypto zoologist named Dr.

01:33:34.800 Corman.

01:33:35.520 The film opens with his family being slaughtered by a Bigfoot after his wife attacked its, its

01:33:41.680 offspring, little foot, um, Bigfoot spares Corman's life only so he can abuse him.

01:33:48.040 Um, we're four minutes in the reviewer says we're four minutes in and this film already

01:33:52.380 is causing me to rethink my career and life choices.

01:33:56.320 Um, he said the, uh, the, the film producers said the international distributors insisted

01:34:06.400 on an opening with the film, either of either involving a killing or a lesbian sex scene,

01:34:14.680 quote, one of the two, one of the two in order to quote, guarantee that it would be appealing

01:34:19.420 to foreign audiences.

01:34:20.960 That's what foreign audiences want.

01:34:22.460 I know killings or lesbian sex. 1.00

01:34:24.120 That's right.

01:34:24.440 Those are the two things.

01:34:25.260 So, uh, he said, quote, I figured let's do a killing in a lesbian sex scene. 0.99

01:34:31.780 So this is the sort of problem solver you might want on your school board.

01:34:34.680 Uh, so two heavily tattooed women are, uh, shown filming their own erotic encounter on

01:34:40.160 the floor of the forest.

01:34:42.000 And of, of course they have brought a high powered rifle with them just in case.

01:34:46.860 Well, I mean, if, if Bigfoot or a little foot comes by, you're going to want the right.

01:34:49.780 Or maybe it's not good for them.

01:34:51.400 You know what I mean?

01:34:52.100 And one shoots the other.

01:34:53.440 I'm not sure.

01:34:54.160 Okay.

01:34:54.560 But, uh, they do have to shoot, shoot, uh, Bigfoot's fur baby. 0.90

01:34:59.220 And they find out quickly that that only gets your guts ripped out, uh, as you're naked

01:35:04.660 running through the forest by a really cheesy looking Bigfoot.

01:35:08.580 I mean, that's Bigfoot's apparent, you know, just like all, many of us.

01:35:11.820 And you're going to defend your, your, your kids.

01:35:13.800 Right.

01:35:13.920 So now years later, we meet the now grownup Corman, the, you know, the, the scientist,

01:35:20.600 uh, at the beginning now in a wheelchair courtesy of his encounter with Bigfoot.

01:35:25.520 And he informs a TV reporter of his desire to conduct experimental crossbreeding of humans

01:35:31.380 with the creature about time.

01:35:34.060 So he in the wheelchair, uh, and a young woman and her idiot brother, uh, and various uncles

01:35:42.520 capture Bigfoot and they go into business in hopes of getting rich, uh, by, uh, having

01:35:51.820 sex with Bigfoot and making little half human. 0.54

01:35:55.240 And then it says, this is where the movie gets super dark and offensively nuts.

01:35:58.980 This is where it's.

01:36:00.600 Oh my God.

01:36:01.700 Hey, elect him, New Jersey for your school board.

01:36:06.080 Back.

01:36:06.800 Mercury.

01:36:07.360 Jack has, uh, written me as, uh, I'm not going to use his last name.

01:36:14.740 He's just a listener of the program.

01:36:16.300 And he wrote, Glenn, I don't expect a response for you or for this even to be acknowledged,

01:36:20.700 but I'm writing for my own peace of mind.

01:36:23.020 Jack, I try to respond as much as I possibly can, uh, especially to those who disagree with

01:36:28.780 me.

01:36:28.960 He said, I appreciate your, uh, efforts at promoting unity and civility, but I too despise

01:36:34.960 because I too despise blatant media biases.

01:36:38.840 The only way we can truly combat bias is with facts, reason, and rationality.

01:36:44.700 Otherwise we'll find ourselves jumping to conclusions and taking people for their word

01:36:49.840 when they don't deserve the credibility.

01:36:52.340 I agree with this so far, Jack.

01:36:53.940 The most salient example of this bias, however, is your handling and interpretation of the

01:36:59.640 events surrounding this migrant caravan based off of statements made by Mike Pence or on

01:37:07.200 October 24th, you pass the buck and spouted out more of the same baseless diff disinformation

01:37:13.480 that is consistent with bought social media accounts to call this migrant caravan in invasion

01:37:21.720 echoes conspiracy theorists.

01:37:24.560 If it isn't coming from someone with a racist bent, which I don't believe is where you're

01:37:29.440 coming from, then I don't understand integrity in the media involves exercising your best judgment

01:37:36.240 and not being afraid to offer any input when you are not an expert.

01:37:41.820 This involves being honest with yourself and knowing if, and when you're lacking access to

01:37:47.760 a bigger picture.

01:37:48.580 I don't claim to have all of the facts, but I do know enough to see that your claims come

01:37:54.100 from so little information, which are already baseless, that they indicate you completely

01:38:00.100 lack any level of journalistic integrity.

01:38:03.100 Wow, Jack, there's a lot to unpack here.

01:38:06.460 So first of all, I did call this an invasion, but I called it in the way of what else would

01:38:15.180 you call this because they are marching at the time, seven to 14,000 long.

01:38:21.820 How many miles is this thing now?

01:38:23.500 They're saying it's three to 500 miles.

01:38:25.400 Okay.

01:38:25.800 This is a massive influx of people.

01:38:28.820 Obviously not all consistent people.

01:38:30.820 Correct.

01:38:31.260 And they're just saying that they're spread out that far.

01:38:33.060 Okay, so it's a massive group of people.

01:38:35.860 They are coming here with the expressed intention of breaking our law, of crossing the border, 0.99

01:38:44.320 whether we want them to or not.

01:38:46.700 If you saw how they tore down the fences between Honduras, is it Honduras or Guatemala and Mexico,

01:38:55.140 if you saw the way they tore down the border fences, you know that this is not just a group of helpless migrants.

01:39:04.540 There are many good people in this, I'm sure, but we're not going to be able to sort them out on our border

01:39:12.180 if they come across as they did into Mexico.

01:39:15.980 It's not the right thing.

01:39:18.220 When I said invasion, what I meant was that what do you call 7,000 people carrying a foreign flag

01:39:29.260 saying that they are going to cross the border into another country when that other country is saying don't do it

01:39:38.400 and deploying military, what do you call them?

01:39:43.720 It would be an invading force.

01:39:46.400 They are invading us.

01:39:48.800 Now, that sounds like they're coming with guns and everything else, but I'll get to that point here in a second.

01:39:54.920 They are not coming with guns.

01:39:57.380 And I don't like the term invading force, but I don't like the migrant caravan either

01:40:03.280 because this isn't a group of migrants that are caravanning.

01:40:09.140 People are trying to make this sound as if there is no coordination with anyone.

01:40:14.780 It's just a bunch of people that got together and said, hey, let's go do this.

01:40:19.760 We know that that is not true.

01:40:23.280 Now, you say that I have no facts to back this up.

01:40:27.040 That is absolutely not true.

01:40:29.580 The facts are that the president of the president of Honduras that was removed constitutionally.

01:40:40.920 Now, that is an argument if you're on the left or the right.

01:40:43.520 But two branches of their government found the president to be unconstitutional.

01:40:48.200 He was about to suspend the constitution and make himself a dictator exactly the way Hugo Chavez did.

01:40:56.400 The Supreme Court of Honduras said, you've got to remove this guy.

01:41:01.900 He is acting in an unconstitutional way.

01:41:04.540 And so they did.

01:41:05.580 They kicked him out of the government and out of the country.

01:41:09.400 What happened?

01:41:10.760 His Marxist revolutionary friends in a pact with Venezuela and Cuba, all documented.

01:41:21.540 They they were holding together because they were trying to build kind of the United States of South America under a Marxist kind of dictate a dictatorial rule.

01:41:32.760 When he left, that meant the end of that compact between them.

01:41:39.240 They all need him to be restored.

01:41:43.020 So these are revolutionaries in Honduras that blame America for their problems.

01:41:51.260 They are a group that has tried to cause chaos in Honduras.

01:41:56.540 They are trying to cause chaos because they want their government to fail to reinstate a guy who wants to be the dictator of Honduras.

01:42:06.760 That is all verifiable fact.

01:42:10.660 Now, I was told by two sources that Venezuela was funding that that they had money in that.

01:42:22.640 I believe that's reasonable because of the pact that is verifiable.

01:42:29.840 We know they did this.

01:42:30.980 We know that it will help Venezuela if Honduras goes the way of Venezuela and Cuba.

01:42:39.320 Politically speaking, they need each other.

01:42:42.360 So it makes perfect sense.

01:42:45.400 Do I have evidence of that?

01:42:47.580 No, I don't.

01:42:48.400 I do believe that the vice president is a pretty credible source to say that, especially when you can back up all of the other facts around.

01:42:59.540 It doesn't mean it's true.

01:43:02.180 I believe it to be, but it doesn't mean that it's true.

01:43:05.800 It means that it's a pretty good bet because we do know and we have sources on the ground that people are buying these buses, paying those buses and paying many of the people to get on to those buses.

01:43:21.700 And the people that are doing that is this Marxist revolutionary group.

01:43:26.900 Where are they getting the money now?

01:43:31.100 People also say that I said that Soros is providing the money.

01:43:35.640 No, he provided some of the money that were funding the two main groups that were doing the migrant caravan in April.

01:43:46.580 There is no evidence that Soros is involved in this at all.

01:43:50.400 However, as Stu pointed out earlier on the show, Soros in an op ed said himself that he was going to put half a billion dollars into migrant campaigns.

01:44:05.500 It seems, again, like a logical jump that he will be involved in some way or another at some point.

01:44:14.380 But there's no evidence that he's involved in this now.

01:44:19.300 So the email goes on.

01:44:22.160 If you've ever taken a course in international studies, relations or politics, you would know that there are more reputable sources of information than Mike Pence's version of a conversation with the president of Honduras.

01:44:33.560 Yes, there are.

01:44:34.840 And I just told you that there are multiple places to show you what's happening in Honduras and who who is behind the migrant caravan in Honduras.

01:44:50.420 We know now who that is.

01:44:52.480 You'd also recognize that it's impossible to be simultaneously be an objective and unbiased observer and believe wholesale that the president of Venezuela has set aside the funds necessary to attack the United States by funding a migrant caravan or calling on the allies to do so.

01:45:11.520 OK, it is not outrageous to think that when you understand, I don't know if you took international studies or relations or politics personally, degrees don't mean anything to me.

01:45:25.100 I know a lot of idiots that have degrees. 0.99

01:45:27.500 I have done my own homework.

01:45:29.320 I'm a self-educated man.

01:45:30.660 If you'd like to talk down to self-educated people, well, that's a different issue.

01:45:35.080 But I do I do have a lot of experience in international studies, relations and politics, but I appreciate your degree if you have one.

01:45:45.120 But if you do indeed have one, you know that Venezuela, the current president, blames the United States for all of this troubles, blames the United States for trying to kill him recently.

01:45:57.340 It is not unheard of for someone like that to fund operations against the United States.

01:46:08.300 He said the word of a person working for a president whose statements are false more than two thirds of the time.

01:46:17.000 Politi fact isn't something you should form your opinion on on a subject and far less.

01:46:21.800 And again, that's not what I did.

01:46:23.480 That's also a ridiculous standard.

01:46:25.620 Politi fact selects.

01:46:27.860 It's not like they're looking at all of the statements made by a person and saying they're two thirds false.

01:46:31.840 They select the ones that are controversial or the ones that they think they can disprove of Republican candidates most likely.

01:46:38.120 That's just a dumb way of looking at it.

01:46:39.640 Anyone again, it's the same accusation.

01:46:41.620 But I'm not going to argue that this president is is the the pillar of virtue and truth.

01:46:47.160 You can't come out and it doesn't matter.

01:46:48.860 No, but you can't come out and say, hey, you need to take your journalistic credibility seriously and then say, by the way, the way you should judge this is political.

01:46:55.620 It's not a fact percentage.

01:46:56.780 It's ridiculous.

01:46:57.700 Glenn, if you're a man who has integrity, you'd see where you might be wrong here.

01:47:02.040 Well, may I say to you, Jack, the same thing.

01:47:05.400 You may be wrong here.

01:47:07.560 Better yet, you'd pump the brakes on your rhetoric.

01:47:10.220 I don't have any rhetoric.

01:47:12.080 I don't have any rhetoric.

01:47:13.120 I'm asking you how to describe this group of people that are coming under the flag of Honduras, many of them with stated ill intent towards the United States.

01:47:27.140 A lot of them just hapless, useful idiots, good people, decent people who are being paid and promised you're going to have a better life in America.

01:47:38.540 Probably the majority is that.

01:47:42.460 But here's a group of people that were started with an axe to grind against the United States, want to make their point.

01:47:48.880 They're going to cross our border with a foreign flag.

01:47:51.540 When we have an army, they're saying, don't come.

01:47:55.560 What else do you call them?

01:47:57.180 That is a sincere question.

01:48:00.640 Glenn, you should apologize and really try to be a voice of truth on the matter.

01:48:05.780 That any matter that you've decided to put your name next to, but at least at the very least, you'd reply to this email in some way.

01:48:13.800 So at the very least, I have replied to you.

01:48:17.040 And at the at the very least, I have told you why I do not need to apologize.

01:48:22.220 In fact, if anyone should apologize, Jack, and I don't need it and I don't want it, we can walk away friends here.

01:48:28.200 But maybe you should apologize for making baseless claims about me.

01:48:32.800 He continues, but that's if you had some integrity and that's why I don't expect any response at all.

01:48:41.320 And Jack.

01:48:43.580 That is the line that tells me everything I need to know and almost made it so I didn't respond to you because you're not an honest broker.

01:48:54.340 If you've listened to this program and you don't think that I try to get it right,

01:48:59.340 if you don't think that I have some integrity, you're not an honest broker.

01:49:07.020 Why should I respond to you?

01:49:10.560 The only reason why I do, Jack, is because I want you to know my point of view.

01:49:18.400 I want you to know that I'm not just making things up.

01:49:22.400 I'm not using this for any kind of political gain.

01:49:27.660 I don't like people who are using the border for political gain.

01:49:31.900 I'll be talking about this on Wednesday.

01:49:35.240 My guess is so will the Republicans and Donald Trump.

01:49:40.160 My guess is they still will care about this caravan if it comes to our border in three weeks.

01:49:48.500 You should as well, because you'll have no idea who's coming in.

01:49:55.380 And the evidence that we do have does suggest that we should not let them in. 0.99

01:50:10.160 I appreciate your emails, and we try to answer them as much as we can,

01:50:15.500 but we have so many that we can't get to it, but we do appreciate it.

01:50:18.560 Even if they're stupid like that, guys?

01:50:20.840 Even if they are misinformed like him.

01:50:24.740 That's a much nicer way of saying that.

01:50:27.140 I noticed you said that in a different way than I said it, because I said stupid.

01:50:30.540 Yes.

01:50:30.760 And then you used a different word to describe that same thing.

01:50:33.080 Some people are ignorant of the facts, and some people live in a world of self-imposed ignorance.

01:50:41.500 And it's those who live in self-imposed ignorance that really deserve our pity,

01:50:50.100 because it's not a way to lead your life.

01:50:52.520 But maybe, Jack, hears the facts now and changes his mind.

01:50:56.060 That was mean. Why'd you say that?

01:50:57.180 Here's our sponsor this half hour.

01:50:59.040 It's My Patriot Supply.
