00:00:04.820 On Demand.
00:00:08.380 Welcome to the podcast. It's Stu and Glenn.
00:00:11.340 We should point out, we're going to be going back on tour.
00:00:14.420 And we would love you to join us. We're going to be in Florida in a couple weeks.
00:00:17.420 Go to glennbeck.com slash tour to check it out.
00:00:20.240 And we won't have to tolerate a socialist governor.
00:00:24.440 That does seem that way.
00:00:26.960 Yes, it does. You may have to have one that's a left-leaning senator.
00:00:31.940 That one may be not decided yet.
00:00:33.760 That's one of the big focuses of the podcast, of course.
00:00:35.700 We go through the races. What does it mean?
00:00:38.020 Is this a win or a loss?
00:00:39.220 I think that's kind of one of the things we disagreed on a little bit today.
00:00:42.720 Should we be looking at this positively or maybe a little negatively?
00:00:48.520 I think I've settled on a little of both.
00:00:51.220 I mean, we started the podcast today with a little bit of celebration.
00:00:55.680 You know, you first get in and you're like, okay, I'm celebrating the fact that the left feels so horrible today.
00:01:03.320 You have to do that a little bit.
00:01:04.360 That is great.
00:01:05.000 And I'm also celebrating the fact that Ocasio-Cortez is the only democratic socialist that won.
00:01:10.400 That doesn't work.
00:01:11.780 That's not connecting with America, which is really good.
00:01:14.580 So we go through that.
00:01:15.340 We also talked to Bill O'Reilly about the election results.
00:01:17.520 And we go through a bunch of the ballot initiatives, kind of the strange stuff.
00:01:21.360 In fact, a very bizarre tax from Nevada that was repealed.
00:01:25.780 I'm looking at that one.
00:01:26.600 We'll try to get you the answer on that one.
00:01:28.620 That's the podcast day after the election.
00:01:31.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:44.640 It's Wednesday, November 7th.
00:01:47.620 AlexaPure.
00:01:48.660 AlexaPure, if you suffer from asthma, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, your allergies keep you up at night.
00:01:58.400 But colder weather means there's more time indoors.
00:02:01.560 And for those that suffer from respiratory conditions or allergies, it's going to be harder for you.
00:02:07.720 Now, listen, most air purifiers do not do what the AlexaPure Breeze does.
00:02:13.340 This is a true HEPA air purifier with patented IO cluster technology.
00:02:18.520 It removes 99.97% of irritants from the air.
00:02:23.600 And it is less than a third of the cost, I think, of others.
00:02:27.700 It's BreezeCleanAir.com.

00:02:43.640 Glenn Beck.
00:02:45.080 Okay, I, gosh, I, you know, I'm having one of those moments, Stu, where, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you know, you want to be a bigger person.
00:02:58.860 You know what I mean?
00:03:00.800 Okay.
00:03:01.440 You want to be a bigger person.
00:03:03.360 Do you?
00:03:03.580 And you want to say, you know, I don't want to rub it in anybody's face.
00:03:07.560 Uh, but I don't think I can be that person today.
00:03:15.900 Um, I'm going to do, you know what I'm going to, here's what I'm going to do.
00:03:19.180 Here's what I'm going to do.
00:03:20.020 Okay.
00:03:20.360 Here's what I'm going to do.
00:03:21.060 I'm going to let the left speak for themselves.
00:03:26.740 Okay.
00:03:27.140 Um, you know, the, the media personalities, um, some of them expressed surprise, some of them disappointment, some of them despair, uh, because there was not the blue wave.
00:03:42.720 And, um, if I, if I may, I just, uh, you know, I just thought it would be, um, I thought we'd start here.
00:03:50.560 This is the moment, uh, MSNBC absorbs the Ted Cruz win.
00:03:56.660 Here it is.
00:03:58.160 Hey guys, I got to interrupt.
00:04:00.460 We have a big call.
00:04:02.200 This is out of Texas.
00:04:03.580 NBC news is projecting Ted Cruz will return to the Senate from Texas and Republicans will be guaranteed control of the Senate as a result.
00:04:20.560 Let's go to Chris Hayes, who is in El Paso headquarters, uh, Chris Hayes.
00:04:26.480 We've been going back to you all night long as we've been watching this almost unbelievably close race unfold.
00:04:32.200 NBC now projecting that Ted Cruz will be, uh, reelected.
00:04:36.020 I got to ask you about how it feels in the room and whether or not people in the room have absorbed that call.
00:04:40.420 I don't think they have absorbed it at all.
00:04:41.780 To be totally honest, um, loud music playing.
00:04:44.340 It's filled.
00:04:44.800 I mean, someone earlier tonight, a Texas Democrat who's elected described the math and text mess like being in a prison and trying to get up over the wall.
00:04:53.920 He said, you could try a million different ways.
00:04:55.960 It's a tall wall and it's really hard.
00:04:57.840 And Beto has done a lot to get up over that wall.
00:05:01.300 It looks like he's going to fall short.
00:05:02.980 I also just talked to a Texas democratic represent, uh, a Texas source who said already it's the best night.
00:05:09.300 Just to put this in perspective for Texas Democrats in a generation.
00:05:13.280 Um, yeah, yeah, it's the best, it's the best night for Texas Democrats in a generation.
00:05:20.060 And, uh, yet they're still on the, uh, wrong side of the wall in, uh, in prison.
00:05:24.520 Apparently here's Jake Tapper when he decides things aren't, aren't, aren't, aren't, aren't really going the way everyone expected.
00:05:34.020 One of the things that's an interesting, um, uh, side effect of this, if you will, uh, is a lot of the Republicans who were, um, critics of President Trump.
00:05:46.520 Carlos Cabello in Florida, Mike Hoffman in Denver, uh, they are being defeated.
00:05:51.620 So when the Republican party regains, uh, or reconvenes in the house, assuming Democrats have taken over or not, either way, that will be a more Trumpy Republican, uh, caucus in the house of representatives.
00:06:07.040 The critics will have been picked off quite a bit.
00:06:10.080 So Jake, what exactly does that mean about the blue wave?
00:06:14.220 Here he is a little while later.
00:06:16.280 It is entirely possible that the Democrats will regain control of the house today.
00:06:20.840 But I have to say, when you look at what's going on here tonight, this is not a blue wave.
00:06:25.360 This is not a wave that is knocking out, uh, all sorts of Republican incumbents.
00:06:30.820 As we saw, you just call the Kentucky six district.
00:06:33.220 Now there are every, all sorts of ways that Democrats can regain the house without Amy McGrath having defeated incumbent Congressman Andy Barr.
00:06:41.380 But the fact is she did not.
00:06:43.480 And if she had, that would have really been an indication of a big, powerful blue wave.
00:06:48.040 The fact that she did not, and it is a district that he won, um, two years ago, Congressman Barr, uh, by more than 20 points.
00:06:55.000 But this was a target.
00:06:56.540 Democrats did hope to win Kentucky six.
00:06:59.180 Now I just, I, I just want to point out that it is not a blue wave.
00:07:03.740 Now, now Jake is a pretty fair guy, I think.
00:07:07.080 Um, but you could hear, you could hear the little hearts breaking all around the table at CNN last night.
00:07:14.700 Here's, here's Dana Bash.
00:07:16.560 Yeah.
00:07:16.720 Let's take a look at the map here, uh, of the governor's offices.
00:07:19.540 We're still waiting to hear, but there are some really significant ones that we should point out.
00:07:24.100 First of all, uh, the projection, we didn't really have a chance to talk about it,
00:07:27.220 but the idea that Ron DeSantis is going to be, uh, the next governor of Florida winning over, uh, Andrew Gillum, uh, is quite significant.
00:07:34.040 The fact that Mike DeWine is going to be, uh, the next governor of Ohio, keeping that state in Republican hands, that's going to be quite significant.
00:07:41.420 And why do I say it's going to be significant?
00:07:43.120 It's going to be significant because of the 2000 presidential election.
00:07:46.360 Those are two incredibly important states, President Trump and the Democrats will be competing heavily for them.
00:07:52.800 And the fact is that there will be Trump supporters in the Capitol, in the governor's offices of both of them.
00:07:58.880 So that's quite significant, uh, when it comes to the governor's offices.
00:08:01.680 And then we're waiting to see, waiting to hear from, uh, a few others.
00:08:06.240 I mean, remember the context of this, the governor's mansions were a place where Republicans had made a lot of gains over the past several years.
00:08:17.980 And this election, Democrats were hoping to chip away at it big time.
00:08:22.140 They did in some cases, but these two examples, Jake, that you just put up there are big heartbreaks for Democrats.
00:08:28.460 Obviously the biggest is Florida because they were really hoping that Andrew Gillum.
00:08:32.580 Okay, let me, can I, can I, can I go to, uh, can I go to Chuck Todd here just for a second?
00:08:36.680 Chuck had some hearts, uh, that were broken there that they were sweeping up at, uh, NBC as well.
00:08:41.420 Here's, here's Chuck Todd.
00:08:42.480 I got my pollsters here.
00:08:43.540 I talked to my Republican half.
00:08:44.840 Let me talk to my Democratic half here, Fred Yang.
00:08:47.220 Um, you're going to have to pay attention.
00:08:49.440 Look at the camera and turn, turn to me here.
00:08:51.480 Um, Democrats got the house, but in the statewide races, no signature win for Democrats, whether it's Florida, Georgia, Texas.
00:09:01.260 Um, can we go to, uh, Savannah Guthrie?
00:09:04.120 Uh, she, she had just a little bit to say to go ahead.
00:09:07.800 Really prevail.
00:09:08.700 We know as Chuck pointed out in a wave election that's nationalized on a referendum around say Trump.
00:09:15.980 Yeah.
00:09:16.480 Indiana goes Democratic, doesn't, doesn't stay Republican.
00:09:19.980 And so when you look at, at an early hour on the, on the house races, we, we know enough already to be able to tell that the notion of a blue tsunami crashing over Donald Trump's Washington does not look like at this hour that it's materializing.
00:09:35.680 In fact, when you look at the remaining U.S. Senate seats that are falling into play, chances are overwhelmingly likely that there will be pickups in the Senate.
00:09:43.500 Andrew, you want to get on this?
00:09:44.380 Just very briefly.
00:09:45.000 It's also not only who's getting elected.
00:09:47.740 It's, uh, not, it's, uh, it's who's not getting elected.
00:09:51.220 Uh, the, the next cut, please.
00:09:53.380 Of this election, because Marsha Blackburn is the first Republican to be elected from Tennessee who's not a moderate, not a Bob Corker.
00:10:00.200 Go all the way back.
00:10:01.300 They elect moderate Republicans from Tennessee.
00:10:04.060 Lamar Alexander.
00:10:05.200 She is a Tea Party elected House member who is very much a Donald Trump kind of Republican.
00:10:10.680 Maybe it's the red wave on the Senate side, at least.
00:10:13.620 Well, that, uh, that exit poll showed it was...
00:10:16.480 Hey, stop.
00:10:17.320 I just, I just want to point out that anybody who says, and it is a horse apiece here, this is not a clear victory, but it is, it is worth stating, some hearts were broken last night.
00:10:31.320 Some hearts were broken last night.
00:10:33.260 Van Jones was very, very sad last night.
00:10:36.380 Um, others were very, very sad last night.
00:10:38.960 Now, I don't, you know, want to dance on there.
00:10:41.160 Yes, I do, but I'm not going to dance, uh, uh, about that.
00:10:45.240 What I am going to say is, I've never in my lifetime seen a media campaign for two solid years to discredit, to, uh, call every name under the sun, to smear, to, uh, destroy.
00:11:11.520 Why, to convince America that this is the worst thing that has ever happened to us?
00:11:17.880 I've never seen this amount of money, this amount of airtime to try to, uh, thwart anything.
00:11:27.560 I've never, I mean, I don't think this kind of airtime and money was spent for any war that I have lived in.
00:11:36.440 I don't, I don't think I've ever seen this, ever.
00:11:40.320 They weren't this lockstep to convince us that war was good and we had to go fight our enemy.
00:11:48.760 Never.
00:11:49.180 I didn't see it with the Soviet Union.
00:11:52.400 They didn't spend this kind of time and money in my lifetime trying to convince us that the Soviet Union was evil.
00:12:02.340 They put everything on the table.
00:12:05.380 They left everything on the field.
00:12:08.240 The Democrats and the media and Hollywood have left all of it on the field.
00:12:17.840 And gosh darn it, they just came up short.
00:12:21.820 Now here's the one thing they're not going to do.
00:12:25.340 Reflect.
00:12:26.340 They are not going to reflect.
00:12:28.860 I did.
00:12:33.240 And I have some advice.
00:12:35.560 I have some advice for the Democrats, but they will never listen.
00:12:40.420 And in fact, Stu was driving in this morning.
00:12:42.500 They had Michael Moore on MSNBC.
00:12:45.900 They are doubling down, which is exactly what I expected them to do.
00:12:52.080 I celebrate that.
00:12:54.720 The worst thing they could do is double down.
00:13:00.140 The worst thing they could do is say, oh, Ocasio-Cortez, she's the new face of the Democrats.
00:13:07.500 That's the worst thing they could do for them.
00:13:11.440 It's the best thing that could happen to our constitutional republic.
00:13:17.780 They are going to double down and they are going to get worse.
00:13:21.520 And they're trapped.
00:13:23.040 They really are trapped.
00:13:25.560 Nancy Pelosi came out last night and immediately said, we are not going to impeach.
00:13:30.240 Well, Nancy, how are you going to keep all of those that currently want to eat you?
00:13:36.600 How are you going to keep those people on the left that you have brought into the party that are so radical that all they want to do, all they want is blood?
00:13:46.980 That's all they want.
00:13:49.600 41% of the people who voted last night, so I can pretty much guarantee they're all Democrats.
00:13:55.700 41% that went into the poll last night, they said they wanted to impeach Donald Trump.
00:14:02.040 41%
00:14:03.500 How are you going to keep those people at bay?
00:14:06.840 How are you going to not look like a traitor to the cause to those people?
00:14:11.000 There is a war that is happening right now in the Democratic Party.
00:14:17.220 Nancy Pelosi probably will not allow impeachment to happen because it would be the worst thing.
00:14:26.260 But I don't know if she can keep that party together.
00:14:29.740 It was a, it was not an optimal night.
00:14:34.100 Keeping the House would have been fantastic.
00:14:36.600 But last night, both sides should have learned something.
00:14:43.160 And here's the first thing the Republicans should do.
00:14:46.980 The Republican House has already passed 100 bills.
00:14:51.800 I don't even know what they all are.
00:14:53.580 But some of them are probably pretty good.
00:14:56.320 They've already passed them.
00:14:57.780 They're just waiting for the Senate.
00:15:00.160 The Senate should pick up those 100 bills.
00:15:03.800 And they should pass them.
00:15:05.040 Then Congress should get together right now and put together another tax cut.
00:15:11.540 You could pass it right now.
00:15:14.660 Pass another tax cut.
00:15:17.760 Pass it.
00:15:19.040 Pass it.
00:15:19.940 Pass it.
00:15:22.640 Here's why.
00:15:24.560 One of the things that you should take away from this is it is the economy, stupid.
00:15:30.260 If the economy goes to hell in the next two years,
00:15:34.240 Donald Trump will have problems.
00:15:37.820 He's got to keep the economy going because this is a razor's edge margin.
00:15:45.860 If the economy falls apart, it's going to be hard to keep going in 2020.
00:15:52.820 Now, there is one bright side to that.
00:15:58.860 Who are the Democrats going to run?
00:16:03.440 Last night, I think, changed everything for 2020.
00:16:10.300 Because we learned last night, Spartacus just ain't the answer.
00:16:15.400 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:26.320 How are you feeling about last night, Pat?
00:16:28.660 I feel pretty good about it.
00:16:29.860 I, you know, not great, but pretty good.
00:16:32.260 I really feel good about the lamentation of MSNBC and CNN.
00:16:36.120 I love that.
00:16:36.900 That just feels good to me.
00:16:37.860 You know, I just...
00:16:38.680 It's wrong of me, I know, but it just feels good for a day.
00:16:41.800 I'm good with it today.
00:16:43.320 I'm just going to be okay with gloating a little bit today.
00:16:46.340 And it's not that we have anything to gloat.
00:16:48.300 I mean, we didn't hold the House.
00:16:49.780 Right.
00:16:50.220 However, it wasn't the bloodshed.
00:16:52.680 And there are a couple of really bright spots.
00:16:55.600 The Democratic Socialists did not make a dent.
00:16:59.980 Which is fantastic.
00:17:01.080 Fantastic.
00:17:01.420 The only one who won was Ocasio-Cortez.
00:17:03.920 Right.
00:17:04.120 She was the only one.
00:17:04.940 I have to tell you, I can deal with Democrats if America starts embracing Democratic Socialists
00:17:11.200 who are saying the Constitution needs to be redone.
00:17:14.860 They were talking in this campaign about getting rid of the Senate.
00:17:20.120 Yeah.
00:17:21.040 Yeah.
00:17:21.220 I mean, that's how crazy this was.
00:17:23.480 And they will.
00:17:24.380 They will.
00:17:24.840 They will.
00:17:25.380 I mean, they'll also try to get rid of the Electoral College before the next election.
00:17:29.220 Yeah, they will.
00:17:29.920 They have to.
00:17:30.540 That's a big deal to them.
00:17:31.520 They have to.
00:17:32.120 They have to.
00:17:32.580 They think they win every single election if it's just the popular vote.
00:17:35.980 Right.
00:17:36.160 That's what they think.
00:17:36.820 Well, that's.
00:17:37.540 But that's why.
00:17:39.180 That's why our founders didn't do it.
00:17:42.060 Right.
00:17:42.340 Because that always fails because you have a minority.
00:17:46.660 And here's what's really important to understand.
00:17:49.460 The center of the country should not dictate for, you know, what the cities have to do.
00:17:55.520 And the cities shouldn't dictate to the center of the country.
00:17:59.020 We have the Electoral College, so no one slim majority gets away with oppressing the minority.
00:18:07.940 But that's also only one of the stopgaps.
00:18:11.260 The other is don't federalize everything.
00:18:14.940 Right.
00:18:15.460 If it's not federalized, I don't care.
00:18:18.680 And the cities don't care because the cities can do what they want and the states can do what they want.
00:18:25.680 Period.
00:18:26.320 Period.
00:18:26.860 Yeah.
00:18:27.220 It's kind of a brilliant system, but nobody wants to look at it.
00:18:30.520 There's a reason it's lasted this long.
00:18:32.380 So the idea with Gillum losing and who is the governor in Texas?
00:18:41.820 Sorry.
00:18:42.660 In Georgia.
00:18:43.540 Georgia.
00:18:44.100 Brian Kemp is now the governor.
00:18:46.560 Yeah.
00:18:47.160 The other one was.
00:18:49.600 Are you talking about his opponent?
00:18:51.420 Stacey Abrams.
00:18:52.640 Stacey Abrams.
00:18:53.460 For her to lose, and especially with the added extra sugar on top of Oprah campaigning, just makes it wonderful.
00:19:04.000 Abrams has not yet conceded, apparently.
00:19:05.740 She wants a do-over.
00:19:06.680 She thinks there should be a do-over for the vote, and I'm not sure how that works.
00:19:10.460 I don't think you can call that.
00:19:11.960 I call do-over.
00:19:12.760 I don't think that's a thing, hon.
00:19:16.980 So the other thing I think is, you know, pretty great is today I am not eating my underwear.
00:19:25.480 Yes.
00:19:25.920 I feel really good about that.
00:19:27.100 Did you hear the moment NBC announced and called it?
00:19:31.320 I just on your guys' show.
00:19:32.980 It was fantastic.
00:19:33.400 Can we play it again?
00:19:35.120 I just love the silence.
00:19:37.660 They just don't know what to do.
00:19:39.480 Here it is.
00:19:40.940 This is the moment NBC called it for Cruz.
00:19:43.900 Hey, guys.
00:19:44.620 I've got to interrupt.
00:19:45.440 We have a big call.
00:19:47.920 This is out of Texas.
00:19:49.300 NBC News is projecting Ted Cruz will return to the Senate from Texas, and Republicans will be guaranteed control of the Senate as a result.
00:20:00.240 Let's go to Chris Hayes, who is in El Paso.
00:20:09.160 I just love that.
00:20:11.080 It took six seconds for a response.
00:20:13.260 That's an eternity on broadcast television.
00:20:15.280 I love that.
00:20:15.800 It's an eternity.
00:20:16.640 They're just stunned.
00:20:17.620 They don't know what to do.
00:20:18.680 Right.
00:20:19.020 And they will not self-reflect.
00:20:22.360 No, they will not.
00:20:23.460 They will not.
00:20:24.180 And that's a good thing, probably, because we'll beat them again because of it.
00:20:26.780 But they will never figure out what the American people actually want.
00:20:30.300 Because they don't really care.
00:20:31.220 They don't care.
00:20:31.720 They don't care.
00:20:32.260 They think they are smarter than the rest of the country.
00:20:35.700 And that's the problem.
00:20:37.820 That's the problem.
00:20:39.380 You think you're smarter.
00:20:41.440 That is what?
00:20:43.040 Progressivism.
00:20:44.240 We're smarter.
00:20:45.480 You're a cow.
00:20:46.500 I'm a rancher.
00:20:48.060 Just get into the pen and just go up the ramp.
00:20:52.080 Yes, we're going to shoot you in the head in a few minutes.
00:20:54.020 Just go on the ramp.
00:20:55.760 You're a cow.
00:20:57.240 That's the way it really, that's the way they view things.
00:21:00.720 You're too stupid to be able to figure things out.
00:21:04.620 And so when you go against what they are planning, they just think you're a monster or just so stupid that we need to regulate you even more.
00:21:17.600 Yep.
00:21:18.420 And that's why they will continue to lose.
00:21:21.020 I hope.
00:21:21.920 I mean, the second they win with those attitudes is the second I think America is over.
00:21:30.560 Now, Gavin Newsom, the guy who brought poop to the streets of San Francisco, is now able to bring poop to all of California.
00:21:40.340 Oh, good.
00:21:42.520 And I think that's fantastic.
00:21:44.100 Good.
00:21:44.460 I think that's fantastic.
00:21:45.080 I didn't notice that.
00:21:45.860 Did he win?
00:21:46.580 He's the governor?
00:21:46.960 Yeah, he's the governor.
00:21:47.900 Oh, wow.
00:21:48.300 You went from Jerry Brown to Gavin Newsom.
00:21:51.300 That's really bad.
00:21:52.400 Can you imagine?
00:21:52.920 The guy who did this to San Francisco, you bring that on?
00:21:58.820 Oh, man.
00:22:00.120 When will Californians learn?
00:22:01.680 They won't.
00:22:02.100 No, and then their state will continue to deteriorate, and they'll continue to leave it.
00:22:07.980 I know I'm not supposed to gloat, but it just makes me happy when I think of all of the effort that Hollywood put into this.
00:22:18.260 Oh, yeah.
00:22:19.540 I mean, they just—Hollywood is on a suicide watch to take all of the shoestrings and belts away from every celebrity in California.
00:22:29.440 They were all in on Beto.
00:22:31.420 All in.
00:22:31.520 They were so invested in him.
00:22:33.760 And so last night, the Alyssa Milanes of the world and somebody named Busy Phillips.
00:22:39.880 Do you know who that is, Stu?
00:22:41.320 Busy Phillips?
00:22:41.840 Busy Phillips?
00:22:42.700 Uh-huh.
00:22:42.940 Yeah, no.
00:22:43.640 Never.
00:22:44.160 Anyway.
00:22:44.860 Phillips, but they're very busy.
00:22:46.360 It's just—it's Phil, but they—
00:22:48.700 So busy.
00:22:49.880 They've all pivoted now to just 2020.
00:22:51.840 Okay, well, Beto lost, but that's okay.
00:22:53.940 He'll just run for president in 2020.
00:22:55.740 I mean, he is in that window.
00:22:57.120 We talked about this before the election.
00:22:58.540 He got close enough that it doesn't completely disqualify.
00:23:01.360 He is in that window.
00:23:02.180 Yeah, he's within four—they came within four—three points.
00:23:05.260 That's shocking to me.
00:23:06.400 I expected it.
00:23:06.660 It's a matter of whether he wants to now.
00:23:08.640 Yeah, he said, of course, yesterday he would not.
00:23:10.640 But I mean, that doesn't matter.
00:23:11.160 He's going to—of course, he's going to—yes, he's going to run.
00:23:15.380 But here's the thing.
00:23:16.820 What the Democrats should do, and I hate to say this out loud, but they're not listening.
00:23:22.680 What the Democrats should do are run more candidates like Beto.
00:23:28.000 Beto is a guy who's saying all the right things.
00:23:34.420 Look, I'm just for common sense, blah, blah, blah.
00:23:38.060 And he's extreme.
00:23:39.880 He's so extreme.
00:23:41.080 If you can find those candidates that will—for instance, Sinema, she is as extreme as they
00:23:49.340 come, yet she was saying on the campaign trail, no, no, no, we've got to do something about
00:23:55.160 these borders.
00:23:56.060 Right.
00:23:56.460 Well, her something is not the something that I think people in Arizona were looking for.
00:24:01.820 But she was playing the moderate.
00:24:04.920 When you play the moderate, you can win.
00:24:07.900 Even Abrams in Georgia was saying, as she's talking about confiscating guns from people,
00:24:15.160 I—look, I'm all about the Second Amendment.
00:24:17.880 I'm just talking about common sense legislation here.
00:24:20.780 Right.
00:24:21.160 No, you're not.
00:24:21.900 Right.
00:24:22.280 You're talking about—but it works with people.
00:24:24.820 Yes, that's what kept it close.
00:24:27.260 Right.
00:24:27.620 That's what kept it close.
00:24:29.080 Yep.
00:24:29.320 So if they do that and they put the mask back on, it's going to make our jobs a lot more
00:24:35.720 difficult because then they're going to go, oh, conspiracy.
00:24:39.600 He's just a racist for saying that we want to come for all of your guns.
00:24:43.800 No, that's what you're saying.
00:24:46.480 And they're still trying to get away with that, even though people are actually taking the mask off.
00:24:51.840 Like you predicted they were going to.
00:24:53.200 They have.
00:24:53.620 Many of them have.
00:24:54.820 You know, you think about Jim Carrey's appearance a few weeks ago on Bill Maher where he was
00:24:59.980 talking about socialism.
00:25:02.580 And Bill Maher was like, hey, don't play into their hands with that, Jim, because they're
00:25:07.040 using that conspiracy theory against us.
00:25:08.960 And he's like, what do you mean?
00:25:10.560 I think we should embrace it.
00:25:12.380 Embrace the word and all of it.
00:25:13.720 We are socialists.
00:25:14.840 Let's just be socialists.
00:25:15.960 It's better.
00:25:17.160 No, it's not.
00:25:18.160 Wow.
00:25:18.860 Yeah, it's not.
00:25:19.440 It's pretty amazing.
00:25:20.240 And that, OK, I can fight you on that.
00:25:22.360 You know, we can argue about that.
00:25:24.280 We can talk about that.
00:25:25.560 If you think socialism is better.
00:25:27.260 Let's go.
00:25:27.820 Let's go toe to toe.
00:25:29.040 Prove it.
00:25:29.560 On the facts.
00:25:30.240 Yeah.
00:25:30.360 It's, you know, there's a difference between socialized medicine, which does not work.
00:25:35.480 And we can talk about the facts.
00:25:36.980 There's a difference between socialized medicine and what Canada is.
00:25:41.340 Canada is a capitalist nation.
00:25:44.700 It is not a socialist state.
00:25:47.660 It is a capitalist nation with a giant welfare state.
00:25:52.520 Same with Europe.
00:25:53.360 That's different.
00:25:54.820 It's still not good, but it's different than what the democratic socialists are saying.
00:26:00.180 And the problem is, is for the Democrats, is the democratic socialists took their masks off.
00:26:06.220 And they literally were, I mean, I'm, I'm amazed, amazed that they would actually say,
00:26:15.400 and you know what?
00:26:16.400 The Senate just doesn't work.
00:26:18.000 We need to abolish the Senate.
00:26:19.560 It's just unbelievable.
00:26:21.460 Unbelievable.
00:26:22.060 I mean, that goes beyond what we've, what you were, I think even what you were saying about them taking the mask off.
00:26:27.780 Oh, yeah.
00:26:27.900 No, I would never say they do that.
00:26:29.720 No way.
00:26:30.480 They would say, you know, capitalism just doesn't work.
00:26:33.260 That's what I said.
00:26:34.140 Yeah.
00:26:34.320 This capitalist system.
00:26:35.440 And they have said that.
00:26:35.920 Just doesn't work.
00:26:36.880 Right.
00:26:38.040 Never would I believe they would go so far to say.
00:26:40.580 The system doesn't work.
00:26:41.460 The system, the constitution doesn't work.
00:26:43.800 And we need to abolish the Senate.
00:26:45.840 Yeah.
00:26:46.020 That's so far over the edge.
00:26:49.820 And only people like Ocasio-Cortez can get away with that because she's talking to a very small number of people in her district.
00:27:00.120 Yeah.
00:27:00.840 So, yeah, you can get that small number in her district, but you cannot get America on board for that.
00:27:07.680 Let's hope not.
00:27:09.100 Because the minute they can, then it is over.
00:27:12.300 It's not America anymore.
00:27:12.940 The minute they can, I will tell you the minute that they will do it.
00:27:16.280 The day the economy collapses.
00:27:18.920 Yeah, right.
00:27:19.280 If the economy collapses, please, Donald Trump, please, Mr. President, I beg you, please listen to your advisors.
00:27:31.120 The trade war is your biggest, it will be your downfall.
00:27:37.260 If you don't stop the trade war, that gets any worse, and it's going to kill the economy, and you will not win without the economy.
00:27:49.780 Please, Mr. President, stop with the trade war.

00:29:04.420 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, who I spent far too much time with last night.
00:29:10.280 Welcome to the program, Bill.
00:29:12.760 I'm here back.
00:29:14.020 I am up early and ready to go.
00:29:17.820 Now, Bill, what's your initial thought from what happened last night?
00:29:24.460 Well, I think that President Trump has to basically rethink his confrontational strategy for the next year in the sense that he has to go on a charm offensive.
00:29:43.280 You know what I do every day on BillO'Reilly.com?
00:29:45.900 I'm very charming and engaging and charismatic.
00:29:49.820 Not really.
00:29:50.940 No.
00:29:51.400 No.
00:29:52.040 Well, Stu might be able to explain it to you.
00:29:55.420 Right.
00:29:55.700 Okay.
00:29:55.900 So, the reason that the Republicans lost the House wasn't because of Republican policies.
00:30:07.380 Everybody should understand that.
00:30:08.940 If it were, they would have lost the Senate, too, because the Senate is a more important body.
00:30:13.860 So, people weren't voting because they didn't like Trump's economic plan or they didn't like the North Korean thing or the trade thing.
00:30:25.340 They were voting because they didn't like him.
00:30:29.300 All right?
00:30:30.000 We don't like you.
00:30:31.900 And that were primarily women voters.
00:30:36.300 Not men.
00:30:36.980 Men broke for him.
00:30:38.360 But women, we don't like you.
00:30:40.080 You're too much.
00:30:41.400 It's too antagonistic.
00:30:43.360 That's a lesson I think the president should learn.
00:30:45.740 He hinted at it yesterday and said, well, maybe I'll soften it up a little.
00:30:50.280 He should.
00:30:51.180 Now, that doesn't mean he becomes a wuss.
00:30:52.800 It doesn't mean he takes a lot of garbage from the press, which is flat out dishonest.
00:30:56.620 It doesn't mean any of that.
00:30:57.940 It just means he picks his battles a little bit more.
00:31:00.960 And he maybe de-emphasizes the personal nature of immigration and gets into, hey, do you want anarchy?
00:31:09.300 Do you want a country that has no law?
00:31:11.400 But he diminishes the fact that they come from Guatemala and Mexico.
00:31:15.480 See what I'm talking about?
00:31:16.520 Yeah, I think it's his personal attacks.
00:31:20.320 And you know what I said earlier today?
00:31:22.240 The thing that both sides should take away is the extreme polarization is not good.
00:31:31.000 Yeah, but the left's never going to do that.
00:31:33.660 In fact, the left's going to fall into a trap.
00:31:36.720 So when these crazy bomb-throwing congresspeople get power like Nadler and Schiff and Pelosi,
00:31:44.740 they're going to start to misbehave, Beck, misbehave, all right?
00:31:51.380 And that's going to help Trump and the Republicans because nobody wants chaos when they're trying to earn a living.
00:31:58.420 Remember that, what I just said.
00:32:00.500 Nobody wants chaos when they're trying to earn a living, all right?
00:32:06.060 Now, if these people, oh, we want to see his tax thing, and we want to see where he does his hair, and then impeachment, which is never going to happen.
00:32:17.060 Everybody knows it's not going to happen because the Senate is now firmly in the hands of the Republicans.
00:32:22.080 So why are you even bothering with this exercise?
00:32:24.540 Because you want to create chaos, and nobody wants chaos when they're trying to make a living.
00:32:29.100 So those people in the far left, if they're going to do that, they're almost assuring that President Trump will win in 2020,
00:32:39.020 and the Republicans are regaining the House.
00:32:42.200 Well, I think Nancy Pelosi has really got her back up against the wall here because she said immediately last night,
00:32:47.600 we are not going to impeach, I mean, unless the Republicans want to join us, and I don't think that's going to happen.
00:32:52.880 No, Pelosi is not stupid.
00:32:54.240 Right.
00:32:54.720 However.
00:32:55.080 She may be way misguided, and she knows just what I said is true.
00:33:00.160 But here's the problem.
00:33:01.320 41% of the people who went out and voted last night, which had to be almost every Democrat,
00:33:06.620 41% all said they wanted the president to be impeached.
00:33:12.280 So how do you get the House and then take the, let's just say, 10% of that base that is very radical
00:33:20.840 and put that genie back into the bottle and be normal?
00:33:26.980 Um, I don't know, genie.
00:33:31.240 No, seriously.
00:33:31.980 I don't know what you said.
00:33:32.600 How do you put, how do you, how do you contain?
00:33:36.120 I think you ignore them, Beck.
00:33:38.400 If you're the Democratic leadership, you learn a couple of things from last night.
00:33:43.220 Number one, the radical left is not going to bring you power in this country.
00:33:49.420 The big winners, as we said in TV last night, and by the way, I have a question for you and
00:33:54.400 Stu as Texans, and I got to get to that.
00:33:56.660 So just keep that in mind.
00:33:57.840 But the big thing that we said on TV last night is Joe Biden, the big winner, because
00:34:03.000 he's the most well-known moderate Democrat.
00:34:06.120 And the country doesn't want Spartacus, they don't want Gillum, they don't want these socialists.
00:34:15.880 And that should be very apparent to everybody.
00:34:18.980 And the Democratic structure now shifts into presidential gear.
00:34:25.460 We got to beat them in 2020.
00:34:27.420 So Biden knows it.
00:34:29.380 Biden is like Mr. Diplomat this morning.
00:34:32.000 I'm using a soundbite on BillOReilly.com tonight.
00:34:34.740 Oh, no, we have to come back to civility, and we have to be there, and we have to be that.
00:34:40.180 Now, Bloomberg is also going to run as a moderate Democrat with a lot of money, much more money
00:34:47.140 than Biden has.
00:34:48.620 But Bloomberg is New York-centric.
00:34:50.720 Nobody really knows him.
00:34:51.800 Nobody's going to vote for Bloomberg.
00:34:53.700 Bloomberg is not a guy who could win.
00:34:56.440 He's just not.
00:34:57.240 I kind of agree with that, but he's going to throw all kinds of bombs into the Democratic machine.
00:35:04.740 Because he's got so much money.
00:35:06.600 And, you know, you can't dismiss him because everybody said that about Trump.
00:35:10.200 Bloomberg is like the Democratic version of Trump in a much different personality mode.
00:35:17.740 But he doesn't need anybody's money.
00:35:20.640 He's a billionaire.
00:35:21.560 He's not.
00:35:22.380 But wait a minute.
00:35:22.840 He can buy as much money as he wants.
00:35:23.480 There's a huge difference.
00:35:26.040 Donald Trump was a personality that was in everybody's house.
00:35:32.040 I mean, the apprentice really set him up to be the president of the United States.
00:35:39.000 He was in everybody's house.
00:35:40.620 He was generally trusted.
00:35:42.900 They knew him.
00:35:44.120 They liked his, you know, bombastic style.
00:35:47.040 Nobody knows Bloomberg in the center of the country.
00:35:50.460 And he's just not a likable guy.
00:35:53.280 He's just not.
00:35:54.420 He doesn't want you to drink soda.
00:35:56.480 I know.
00:35:57.600 Which makes him a very unlikable guy.
00:36:00.260 So all the Dr. Pepper drinkers aren't going to vote for him.
00:36:04.420 Now, I got questions for you.
00:36:06.160 All right.
00:36:06.620 So Cruz wins by what?
00:36:09.120 Three?
00:36:09.800 Three percent?
00:36:10.500 Yes.
00:36:10.580 Shocking.
00:36:11.940 Okay.
00:36:12.360 Yeah.
00:36:12.900 So what's going on in Texas?
00:36:14.620 Tell me what's going on.
00:36:15.740 Well, there's a couple of things.
00:36:17.020 First of all, Ted Cruz screwed up and betrayed, I think, both sides of the conservative movement.
00:36:26.060 He was a never-Trumper who said, and had every reason, you know, my dad killed Kennedy.
00:36:34.020 I didn't know that.
00:36:35.140 Did you know that?
00:36:35.720 I didn't know it.
00:36:36.540 No, I didn't know that.
00:36:37.600 So all of these crazy things that were said about him.
00:36:40.460 And he was strong, and he took a strong, principled stance.
00:36:45.000 Now, the time to say, okay, you know what?
00:36:47.800 That was during the election, is at the convention.
00:36:52.500 And so at the convention, he decided to not endorse Donald Trump, which pissed off all of the Donald Trump people.
00:37:00.960 Then, in the shadows, he decides to endorse Donald Trump out of the spotlight, so he gets none of the credit.
00:37:10.960 He gets all of the blame for not endorsing him, and then he comes and endorses him, and so he pissed off all of the other side.
00:37:18.640 He's also very wooden.
00:37:20.420 Now, those are the things about Ted Cruz that were happening here in Texas.
00:37:26.620 What you also have to take into consideration is you have, you know, Pinocchio, the wooden boy, and you have this guy.
00:37:37.120 You know, what was his name?
00:37:38.800 The, you know, the boy that came and, you know, took him down with the donkeys.
00:37:42.140 You have that guy in Beto, who everybody, he's fun and games, and he skates board, skateboards, and everybody likes him, and $70 million.
00:37:52.520 That's not, that's not counting all of the Hollywood love and all of the money that has come into this state in the last four years just to change it to blue.
00:38:04.920 There is a huge effort.
00:38:06.400 You think it's a one-off?
00:38:07.740 No.
00:38:08.260 Cruz?
00:38:09.100 No, I don't.
00:38:09.760 Cruz just didn't run his profile as a senator well, and this is an anomaly.
00:38:16.400 No, I don't.
00:38:17.100 I think that this is two things, an anomaly and a very early sign that if Texans don't wake up and the Republicans don't wake up, you're going to be looking at a California by 2024.
00:38:32.200 Very good analysis.
00:38:33.500 I don't think Texans will ever go the way of California because I lived there for a couple of years, and there's a real strain of independence there.
00:38:44.680 Bill, you're right.
00:38:45.840 You don't want the government down their throats like you have in California every time you turn around.
00:38:50.340 You are right, but I lived here in the 80s.
00:38:52.820 I lived here in the 90s, and I live here now.
00:38:56.420 It is not the same place it was in the 80s and 90s.
00:38:59.700 There's a lot of people coming in for economic reasons.
00:39:02.120 Yes.
00:39:02.720 But do they want, you know, the taxes to follow them there?
00:39:06.980 Yes.
00:39:07.420 They don't get it.
00:39:08.860 Yes.
00:39:09.380 They're from California.
00:39:10.480 They voted for it in the first place.
00:39:11.880 The other thing that I want to note is that the power in America to change our society lies with judges.
00:39:24.400 And since the Republicans have increased, remember, you're not going to have a John McCain, Obamacare situation anymore, not going to have a Jeff Flake, all that, Susan Collins, not going to have it anymore.
00:39:38.420 The comfortable margin.
00:39:40.400 So Trump will get more judges appointed.
00:39:43.180 He's already on a record-breaking scheme of getting judges, and the judges are going to put the brakes on the politically correct society.
00:39:53.000 And that has, like, been overlooked.
00:39:56.000 Byron York had a very good column today in a Washington Examiner saying that the real power to change America lies with judges.
00:40:06.780 It shouldn't be that way, but he's right.
00:40:09.020 He's right.
00:40:09.780 Yeah.
00:40:10.080 So everybody thinks, well, Supreme Court, you know, if Ruth Bader Ginsburg suddenly moves to Argentina, as I've been encouraging her to do, there'll be another appointment.
00:40:20.340 But it's not – it's about the lower court federal judges that are appointed by Trump, and the Senate has to okay them.
00:40:28.200 And I will –
00:40:28.940 Now, that's why come on in here.
00:40:31.520 Right.
00:40:31.800 That is the real thing that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee need credit for.
00:40:36.700 Donald Trump, one of the reasons why I think Ted Cruz – and I don't know, but one of the reasons why I think Ted Cruz, you know, kind of cozied up to him is because he saw if I cozy up to him, I can help with the judges.
00:40:50.080 And he and Mike Lee kind of given the keys to daddy's car, and they have designed Trump's lower court judge policies and the list that he picks from, and they've done a remarkable job on that.
00:41:06.800 Yeah, because that should give every traditional American hope, that this nutty, crazy, socialist, PC, Me Too, all of this stuff, no due process, hang you on an allegation, that can be stopped by the courts.
00:41:26.240 One final question for you and Stu.
00:41:28.100 Is Stu still there, by the way?
00:41:29.400 I'm still.
00:41:29.860 I'm waiting for your next question, Bill.
00:41:31.160 Okay.
00:41:31.520 Did Trump save Cruz with the Houston thing?
00:41:36.580 Did he save him?
00:41:37.780 I tend to think the answer to that is no.
00:41:40.540 I think he would have won anyway.
00:41:42.160 I mean, if you look at – to your point earlier, Bill, I mean, you know, Greg Abbott, who's also ran against someone very similar in policy to Beto O'Rourke, beat his opponent by 13 or 14 for governor.
00:41:56.600 I think really Beto just caught that wave and all that money and all the excitement, and Cruz, you know, I mean, I like Cruz a lot.
00:42:04.540 I think he's done a really good job as a senator.
00:42:06.740 I like his voting record.
00:42:07.720 He has.
00:42:08.060 But he's not the greatest candidate in the universe, and I think that those two things, even with that perfect storm, they still could only get within three points.
00:42:16.480 So I don't think that was the difference, though.
00:42:18.680 Certainly didn't hurt.
00:42:20.040 I mean, I think it was definitely helpful, and the fact that both of those guys have been able to get over whatever they had going on in the primaries, you know, it's probably a good thing for the Republican Party.
00:42:30.100 It is.
00:42:31.120 If not, it is.
00:42:31.940 Yeah, I think last night on TV, Beck had a tie on and a jacket, if everybody – I hope you saw that.
00:42:37.900 It was very impressive.
00:42:39.020 That's why people tuned into the coverage, yeah.
00:42:40.440 But I think Beck made an excellent point by saying that the alternative media last night, okay, BillOReilly.com, The Blaze, we were talking with CRTV, we were talking with Newsmax.
00:42:54.200 Daily Wire.
00:42:54.800 We were much better, much better than the rooters in the establishment media, which were boring and didn't tell you anything.
00:43:03.740 Yep.
00:43:04.080 Bill, thank you very much.
00:43:05.240 I appreciate it, brother.
00:43:06.220 We'll see you Friday, right?
00:43:07.620 You got it.
00:43:10.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:43:23.340 Let me go to Mark in Rhode Island.
00:43:25.820 Hello, Mark.
00:43:26.640 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:28.100 Glenn.
00:43:28.680 Yes.
00:43:29.040 Hi, Glenn.
00:43:29.940 How are you?
00:43:30.220 It's great to talk with you.
00:43:32.280 Thank you.
00:43:32.580 And I just want to thank you for all of the work that you've done over the years.
00:43:37.280 I've been listening to you and following you since, well, the 2000 election.
00:43:41.660 Wow.
00:43:42.400 So don't give up.
00:43:44.800 No, I won't.
00:43:45.120 You are making an impact.
00:43:46.540 Thank you.
00:43:46.920 Believe me.
00:43:47.580 I'm in the bluest, bluest place in the country, Rhode Island.
00:43:51.760 I mean, we make California look fire engine red.
00:43:54.860 Wow.
00:43:55.340 That's true.
00:43:56.040 Wow.
00:43:56.240 So it's crazy.
00:43:58.160 Now, I've got a map in front of me of the congressional districts and Republican versus Democrat,
00:44:06.880 and it's 90% red and 10% blue.
00:44:10.260 If I switch that map to county by county, this country is 95% red, 5% blue.
00:44:19.400 Yes.
00:44:19.700 It's all concentrated in the cities.
00:44:23.420 I'm saying the blue areas.
00:44:25.480 Yes.
00:44:25.780 The metropolitan areas.
00:44:27.720 What's in the cities?
00:44:29.120 Colleges.
00:44:30.600 What do you find on college campuses?
00:44:35.160 Communists.
00:44:35.700 Elitists.
00:44:36.340 Yes.
00:44:36.820 What do elitists use as their primary source of news?
00:44:41.900 NPR, without a doubt.
00:44:43.820 NPR is the most destructive force in this country.
00:44:50.340 Something has to be done to stop them.
00:44:53.140 And I just, I don't know what it is, but I find it so incredibly frustrating.
00:44:58.000 Okay.
00:44:58.220 So here's, first of all, I don't think I agree with you on that.
00:45:02.600 I do believe that they are just far, far left.
00:45:06.320 And they have, you know, and nobody even looks at them.
00:45:10.960 I think if you want to stop them, the only way to stop them really is to cut their funding.
00:45:15.620 And here's the case that you make.
00:45:17.420 If you look at the podcasts, which is the future, and you look at their ratings on radio, et cetera, et cetera, in some areas they do really well.
00:45:28.880 Their thing is they've never been able to make money.
00:45:31.960 Well, the reason why is it's the way they run it is ridiculous.
00:45:37.220 There is, I would never hire anyone who had NPR experience, and it is not because they're not good.
00:45:46.480 They're very good.
00:45:47.620 And it's not because of their political bias.
00:45:50.220 It's because they do not live in reality.
00:45:53.640 What commercial radio does with one person, it takes them about eight.
00:45:58.000 And the other thing is if you look at the podcasts, which are the future podcasts, they dominate in the podcast world, but they can't make any money.
00:46:09.780 They still, the people that I, and I think the New York Times is this way as well, the three biggest agencies, if you will, for commercials don't really invest at all in NPR, even though they have huge ratings on podcasts.
00:46:31.460 So if you want to stop them, I am not for silencing of any voices, and I personally, I listen to the New York Times every morning, and I listen to NPR.
00:46:48.460 I want to know what the other side is saying.
00:46:50.320 And so I am very dead set against silencing voices, but here's what you do.
00:46:57.120 You just make them pay for themselves.
00:47:00.900 Stop giving government money to NPR.
00:47:04.680 We don't need that.
00:47:06.560 There are voices out there.
00:47:08.220 There's more chances for people to hear different voices.
00:47:11.960 Look at Pod Saves America.
00:47:14.360 Why do we need NPR?
00:47:16.040 We have that, and it's commercially run.
00:47:18.500 Why do we need it?
00:47:19.640 These stories are being told.
00:47:22.720 You don't need the public radio anymore, the public television anymore, and that's the way you do it, quite honestly.
00:47:32.300 But again, it's not about silencing voices.
00:47:35.500 It's about leveling the playing field.
00:47:38.480 We all like a fair and level playing field, don't we, NPR?
00:47:42.500 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:47:47.140 On Demand.
