00:00:00.000 Warning, today's podcast has descriptions of bloody, brutal murders.
00:00:09.400 Listener discretion is advised.
00:00:11.240 Wait.
00:00:12.120 What?
00:00:12.920 Really?
00:00:13.620 No, I just heard that on a BBC podcast right before, and I was like, ooh, I want to listen to that.
00:00:17.960 Oh, yeah.
00:00:18.700 That's enticing.
00:00:19.780 So they're not going to actually get what you're, this is just false evidence.
00:00:23.520 Well, did you watch the election?
00:00:24.620 There were some that felt that way.
00:00:27.820 Great podcast for you.
00:00:29.040 Brought to you by Relief Factory.
00:00:30.420 If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, I want you to listen up.
00:00:34.560 Only a couple of years ago, I had all kinds of pain.
00:00:38.320 So much pain, I really thought, this is the end of my career.
00:00:41.760 And that was about four years ago, Stu, four or five years ago that I was just like this.
00:00:46.560 I can't do it anymore.
00:00:47.480 Yeah, and then your career ended.
00:00:49.220 You're still going.
00:00:49.880 And I'm still going.
00:00:50.800 It's weird.
00:00:51.780 It's weird.
00:00:52.740 Anyway, it's not a drug.
00:00:54.260 It was developed by doctors for people who really don't want to be spaced out all the time.
00:01:00.220 It reduces inflammation.
00:01:03.080 And for 70% of the people who try it, they go on to order more.
00:01:06.320 And I read testimonials every single day from people.
00:01:09.900 It takes a lot for somebody to write in and say, oh, by the way, that was great.
00:01:15.040 I don't get that for car wax commercials.
00:01:17.140 Anyway, relieffactor.com.
00:01:19.240 That's relieffactor.com.
00:01:20.840 Go there now, relieffactor.com.
00:01:30.120 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:37.520 So here we are in a very precarious position.
00:01:43.100 We don't know yet about the House or the Senate.
00:01:46.480 The president just made a statement.
00:01:48.480 And he just said, which I thought was was really much more than I expected.
00:01:58.840 Fetterman is also commented.
00:02:04.760 Which, again, was more than I expected.
00:02:08.220 It was a good point.
00:02:08.940 You know, you mentioned sometimes these things work out for the best, even if they don't go the way that you want.
00:02:13.260 Yeah.
00:02:13.380 This is a good night for Joe Biden.
00:02:15.500 It was.
00:02:16.040 Because his the chance of him being told that he has a health problem or a family problem and he needs to not be the nominee in 2024.
00:02:26.300 If there was a red wave or really high.
00:02:28.920 Right.
00:02:29.320 The fact that this is not it was definitely not a red wave that that's not that did not occur.
00:02:34.000 Republicans could still win the House and the Senate.
00:02:35.960 But this was not a red wave.
00:02:37.640 And the fact that that did not happen strengthens Biden's case to remain the nominee in 2024.
00:02:42.920 That might be a really good thing.
00:02:44.880 Yeah, it might be.
00:02:45.520 That might be something we were really thankful for later on.
00:02:47.180 Yeah.
00:02:47.500 So let me give you can I give you the picture of the Senate here where we stand right this second.
00:02:50.860 Got it.
00:02:51.180 There are five races that have yet to be called.
00:02:53.780 One of them is sort of anticlimactic in a way because we know it's going to be a Republican seat.
00:03:02.500 But this is the race in Alaska and the race between.
00:03:06.120 Can you really call Murkowski?
00:03:08.080 Right.
00:03:08.800 Look, it's it matters for control, though.
00:03:11.080 Right.
00:03:11.580 You know, the Republican will be the speaker.
00:03:14.680 You know, you'll have a Republican speaker or Senate leader if if Murkowski wins.
00:03:20.020 And yes, she'll fail you on a bunch of votes, but you'll be able to block a lot of stuff.
00:03:23.500 Yeah.
00:03:23.920 So Murkowski and Chewbacca are in a very tight race.
00:03:27.180 We don't know where that's going to turn out, but we know that's going to be a race. 0.99
00:03:29.680 Chewbacca is running.
00:03:30.660 Chewbacca. 0.88
00:03:31.460 It's not Chewbacca.
00:03:32.320 Oh, that would have been good.
00:03:34.400 I will say I would have loved to have a Wookiee in the Senate. 1.00
00:03:37.020 You know, I mean, we kind of do with Fetterman, but to have an actual Wookiee would be great. 1.00
00:03:42.560 They both have the same language.
00:03:46.080 Pat does a great Chewbacca.
00:03:47.420 He does.
00:03:47.580 OK, so so we get let's give that one to Republicans because Republicans are going to have
00:03:53.400 that seat either way.
00:03:54.320 That gets you to forty eight forty eight.
00:03:57.400 It's sort of drama we really hoped to avoid here.
00:04:00.060 Yes.
00:04:00.260 So that means of the four races left, Republicans need to win three, three of the four.
00:04:06.580 Here are the four races.
00:04:08.040 One.
00:04:08.720 Wisconsin.
00:04:09.840 Wisconsin looks pretty darn good.
00:04:12.120 Almost all the vote has been counted.
00:04:13.900 Ron Johnson is up by one point and it looks like he will win.
00:04:17.780 One interesting part about this race is for the past several cycles, polls have missed
00:04:22.220 badly against Republicans in favor of Democrats.
00:04:27.120 In other words, as we led up to these elections, looked like the Democrats were going to do better
00:04:30.960 than they wound up doing.
00:04:32.320 The reverse seems to have happened here this time.
00:04:34.900 And one of the worries we talked about yesterday was at some point these pollsters are I mean,
00:04:39.340 they're always trying to correct themselves for errors they made in the past.
00:04:42.280 They may have corrected those errors and maybe overcorrected here in Wisconsin because the
00:04:47.160 polls showed Johnson with a little bit more solid lead than this.
00:04:50.780 It looks like he's going to win, but win very narrowly.
00:04:53.940 So let's say Johnson wins that you get to forty nine for Republicans, meaning you need to
00:04:59.040 win two of three of these races, Nevada, Georgia and Arizona.
00:05:03.420 Arizona is the longest shot here.
00:05:05.360 We mentioned that it looks good.
00:05:07.120 Nevada is.
00:05:08.840 Toss up city.
00:05:10.120 Is it really?
00:05:10.700 I mean, it's really, really tight.
00:05:12.200 Laxalt is winning.
00:05:13.540 I want to hear what I believe.
00:05:16.600 Laxalt is winning.
00:05:17.940 Yes.
00:05:18.200 Which is you can stop there if you want.
00:05:20.260 He's currently winning.
00:05:21.620 If you look at the vote that's left, it looks like it's going to tighten.
00:05:25.340 And I think at the end of the day, you're going to have you really have a coin flip still.
00:05:29.940 If you if you want to say there's a slight leader, you might say it.
00:05:35.600 Say it.
00:05:36.660 I'll tell you it's Laxalt, but it might not be.
00:05:38.800 I think I would say this is like a forty five percent chance for Republicans to win.
00:05:44.520 It's like slightly under 50, maybe, but still very, very doable.
00:05:48.960 Then you have Nevada or excuse me.
00:05:50.980 Then you have a Georgia.
00:05:52.100 Georgia is a weird one right now. 0.99
00:05:54.140 Now, if if there was no runoff, I think Warnock would win.
00:05:58.520 But they have a runoff system and I don't think Warnock is going to get to 50 percent.
00:06:02.360 That's not again.
00:06:03.060 Also not a sure thing.
00:06:04.240 But if he stays below 50 percent, he's currently at forty nine point four.
00:06:07.640 If he stays below 50 percent, then you'll have a situation where December 6th, that race will be up for for, you know, for a runoff.
00:06:17.880 So just for the people who weren't scarred enough by 2020, we get to do it all over again.
00:06:23.720 But so let me give you the optimistic picture here in the Senate for the Republicans.
00:06:27.360 You win Alaska with one of the two candidates.
00:06:29.860 You win Wisconsin, which I would think is you'd rather be Ron Johnson than Mandela Barnes in this race.
00:06:35.520 It brings us to forty nine.
00:06:37.020 That brings you to forty nine.
00:06:39.480 Then you win Nevada, which is a toss up.
00:06:42.120 And then you have the runoff in Georgia.
00:06:45.720 That's your that's your path.
00:06:48.180 So you got to win Nevada.
00:06:49.560 You got to win it.
00:06:50.220 You got to win Wisconsin.
00:06:51.660 And then you'll have a December six runoff. 0.99
00:06:55.780 For the Senate in Georgia and all of the marbles on that one race, which will be freaking insane now that that's not that we're counting out Blake Masters here who still has a chance.
00:07:05.180 I just think it's a small chance at this point.
00:07:08.100 He could come back that those races are narrowing.
00:07:11.320 But he's currently down by six points where Carrie Lake is down by what a point one point eight or something.
00:07:18.280 So it's a lot closer in the gubernatorial race.
00:07:20.820 And I think Lake has a good chance of winning that one. 1.00
00:07:22.880 But Masters may come up slightly short in the Senate.
00:07:26.680 So that's so there is a path there.
00:07:28.280 And if the Republicans can pull out the House.
00:07:33.000 Hey, you know, I mean, that's good.
00:07:35.340 That's good to be.
00:07:36.080 It's not the wave you wanted, but it's not it's not terrible.
00:07:39.480 It's you know where it is.
00:07:40.600 It's where we expected it to be before we got into the race.
00:07:46.300 Yeah, we thought we will get the House, but it's not going to be a tidal wave, but we'll get control of the House and maybe we can stop it and maybe we can get the Senate.
00:07:56.640 It's going to be hard, but really hard.
00:07:58.600 I think people, because you look at the history where usually the opposition party from the president does very well.
00:08:06.600 You see that going on and you think, OK, well, they're going to win.
00:08:09.600 But the structural advantages with the Democrats in the Senate this term, and this is not some like conspiracy theory.
00:08:14.660 The reverse is going to be true in 2024.
00:08:17.340 It's going to be a very good Republican year in the Senate in 2024, at least as far as the playing field goes.
00:08:23.780 They're going to be favored going into that election.
00:08:25.460 They were underdogs coming into this.
00:08:27.020 So, I mean, I think you look at this and you say a bit underwhelming from the amount of change we saw in the House.
00:08:35.540 But like you go, they started from a strong position.
00:08:38.840 Remember, Republicans in 2020 in the House did pretty well.
00:08:42.740 This was not a disaster.
00:08:44.140 They outperformed what everyone thought they were going to do in 2020.
00:08:48.120 Republicans, you know, people remember the presidential race, but Republicans did better in the House than people expected.
00:08:54.300 It's just that the Senate fell apart with those two runoffs and it turned into the catastrophe that cost us $5 trillion.
00:08:59.400 71% in now with Alaska and it's Chewbacca.
00:09:03.320 Yes, however, remember Alaska's, it's not Chewbacca, it's Chewbacca.
00:09:08.320 And it also is a situation where they have a different system there.
00:09:15.540 Remember, this is instant runoff.
00:09:18.000 I don't want to hear about it.
00:09:18.640 Okay, so what will happen is they have four candidates in this race.
00:09:21.900 When all the votes comes in, no one will have 50%.
00:09:25.420 So they will take the bottom candidate, which will probably have three or 4%, maybe 5%.
00:09:30.040 They will eliminate that candidate and take everyone's second choice votes and apply them to everybody else.
00:09:36.640 In that case, Murkowski, because I believe the fourth place candidate is a Democrat, Murkowski will pick up most of that vote.
00:09:44.140 Then it will be down to another Republican if no one is over 50%.
00:09:48.560 Most of that vote will go to, probably to Chewbacca, but we don't know that for sure.
00:09:53.400 But I think, I still think, and we don't know for sure, we will see.
00:09:58.240 But I still think that Murkowski will have enough to get across that finish line.
00:10:02.260 We will see.
00:10:03.340 That one is going to take weeks.
00:10:04.980 You're not fun at my party today.
00:10:06.560 I'm trying to give you, Glenn, the facts of the situation.
00:10:09.320 But sometimes, can't we just...
00:10:11.820 Mike Lee won.
00:10:13.180 Can't we just lie to ourselves for a while?
00:10:15.680 I know that's what got us into trouble.
00:10:17.440 I just gave you the path to the Senate.
00:10:18.320 Yeah.
00:10:18.840 That's good.
00:10:19.800 That's good.
00:10:20.740 And the House is there, should happen.
00:10:23.380 If it doesn't, then we can all start crying.
00:10:26.080 Because that one's going to cost us trillions of dollars if both of those things don't happen.
00:10:29.560 You know, I got home and I got a note from a friend that said,
00:10:32.900 Hey, I just want you to know, at least you don't live in New York.
00:10:38.360 And I'm like, you know what?
00:10:39.280 That is a good thing.
00:10:40.400 Yeah.
00:10:40.940 Yeah.
00:10:41.160 We're not lying in a pool of our own blood on the streets of New York this morning.
00:10:45.060 Yeah.
00:10:45.400 And Kathy Hochul.
00:10:46.500 I mean, Kathy Hochul is crazy. 0.99
00:10:49.380 Wound up holding on to that race.
00:10:50.820 Although much more narrow than anyone would have expected going in.
00:10:54.500 I mean, Lee Zeldin did really well there.
00:10:56.300 Really well.
00:10:56.700 But it just shows there's a real difference in New York from where it was,
00:11:00.320 even when we all considered it a blue state and Chuck Schumer was still winning elections,
00:11:04.140 when George Pataki could win, when Rudy Giuliani could be mayor of New York City.
00:11:09.860 Honestly, even when Michael Bloomberg could win election in New York City,
00:11:14.380 this is a totally different place.
00:11:16.260 And a lot of the people who looked at how bad Andrew Cuomo was,
00:11:20.220 and Hochul obviously part of that catastrophe in New York,
00:11:23.900 a lot of those people, well, sadly, a good chunk of them died.
00:11:27.720 But in addition to the people who actually just perished at the hands of Andrew Cuomo,
00:11:33.060 a lot of other people ran away.
00:11:35.540 Yeah, they moved.
00:11:36.320 Lee Zeldin voters moved out of New York previous to the election,
00:11:40.800 could not vote in New York anymore,
00:11:42.240 and instead voted for like Ron DeSantis in Florida or Greg Abbott in Texas.
00:11:45.940 I will tell you, that is the message to me at least today,
00:11:49.520 is if you're not living in one of these places,
00:11:52.340 you know, that has your red cover,
00:11:56.060 I'd move.
00:11:57.920 I'd move, because it's not changing.
00:12:00.820 And the people, like for instance, in Pennsylvania,
00:12:04.380 I mean, if the Amish could listen to me today, 0.99
00:12:07.320 they should pack up their wagons and their carriages
00:12:09.580 and get the hell out of there. 0.95
00:12:11.920 Because...
00:12:12.560 They wouldn't use that language, but yeah.
00:12:14.760 Well, H-E double hockey sticks, they wouldn't say that.
00:12:17.080 I don't think they would, Jebediah.
00:12:19.860 But anyway, you know, move.
00:12:23.200 You gotta be...
00:12:25.060 Because there's gonna come a time,
00:12:27.160 wherever you are, that's where you will be.
00:12:32.040 And I know that sounds ridiculous, but...
00:12:34.760 No, I...
00:12:35.400 You are...
00:12:36.220 You're not going to be leaving there eventually.
00:12:39.300 And here's the thing.
00:12:40.400 Mm-hmm.
00:12:40.940 That time was two years ago.
00:12:43.860 If you didn't notice the difference
00:12:45.280 between your blue state and your red state
00:12:46.840 over the past couple of years,
00:12:48.500 and a lot of people did.
00:12:49.380 They moved already.
00:12:50.640 And I would absolutely adore
00:12:52.740 living in a town with any one of our listeners.
00:12:55.480 We invite you to come to Texas,
00:12:58.340 because I will say, you know,
00:13:01.120 we talk a lot about national politics.
00:13:03.280 This is a national show.
00:13:04.720 And that is the focus of our days many times.
00:13:07.880 But the difference between the life I lived
00:13:10.440 in this state
00:13:11.500 and the life that some of my friends
00:13:13.940 who were also conservative,
00:13:15.560 lived in New York,
00:13:16.980 in Connecticut,
00:13:18.060 in Illinois,
00:13:19.280 in California,
00:13:20.280 I can't tell you
00:13:22.000 how dramatically different it was
00:13:24.520 and continues to be.
00:13:25.780 They think we're crazy.
00:13:28.900 Yeah.
00:13:29.380 They look at us and go,
00:13:30.860 wait a minute.
00:13:32.740 You're...
00:13:33.160 None of you wear a mask?
00:13:35.100 You're like, no.
00:13:36.960 No one.
00:13:37.680 I think in Texas,
00:13:39.080 it's gotten to the point
00:13:40.680 where even surgeons are like,
00:13:42.600 I'm not wearing this damn mask.
00:13:45.900 And you have to think about this
00:13:47.400 for you and your family.
00:13:49.260 You know,
00:13:49.420 a lot of people,
00:13:49.920 I think,
00:13:50.120 get locked into where they live
00:13:51.320 because that's where they grew up.
00:13:52.540 It's what they know.
00:13:52.900 And their families.
00:13:53.520 Their families are there.
00:13:54.220 Their families are around.
00:13:55.020 And that's all very important.
00:13:56.980 But encourage your family
00:13:57.900 to come with you
00:13:58.680 if you want them to,
00:14:00.300 because some of our families suck.
00:14:01.660 But like...
00:14:01.920 Yeah, some of them,
00:14:02.400 you might just want to leave at night.
00:14:03.820 Exactly.
00:14:04.360 You know what I mean?
00:14:04.780 Yeah.
00:14:05.140 You may just want to go out like,
00:14:06.660 you know,
00:14:07.060 like the Baltimore Colts
00:14:08.400 left Baltimore back in the day.
00:14:10.040 What happened to the Colts?
00:14:10.740 The movie truck.
00:14:11.680 Where are they all going?
00:14:12.340 Bayflower?
00:14:12.840 Where are you going?
00:14:13.680 But like,
00:14:14.220 hey, you know,
00:14:15.000 seriously,
00:14:15.560 it's something to consider
00:14:16.520 because these states are going to get,
00:14:18.680 as you mentioned,
00:14:19.340 blue states are getting bluer.
00:14:20.560 Red states are getting redder.
00:14:22.960 Yes,
00:14:23.320 national policy really matters,
00:14:25.220 but statewide policy
00:14:26.600 is what you feel
00:14:28.100 on a day-to-day basis.
00:14:29.400 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:42.000 Well, hello, Pat.
00:14:43.980 How are you?
00:14:45.480 Oh, yeah.
00:14:48.500 I was really hoping we would get that.
00:14:51.660 Oh, yeah.
00:14:52.520 People were requesting it.
00:14:53.720 Me too.
00:14:54.260 I was all ready for it.
00:14:55.180 Yeah.
00:14:55.960 But, well, you know,
00:14:56.820 it still could happen.
00:14:57.940 It could.
00:14:58.460 But it still could happen.
00:14:59.740 Yeah.
00:15:00.860 Georgia probably goes to a runoff 1.00
00:15:02.380 and maybe it happens on December 7th.
00:15:05.320 6th and 7th.
00:15:06.200 Yeah.
00:15:06.540 We'll probably find out the 7th.
00:15:08.480 Yeah.
00:15:08.780 Good luck.
00:15:10.160 Yeah.
00:15:10.980 It's probably true.
00:15:12.460 December 7th.
00:15:13.340 Maybe Christmas morning
00:15:13.560 we will wake up.
00:15:14.420 December 7th.
00:15:14.900 Yeah.
00:15:15.240 A day that we'll live in infamy.
00:15:16.900 Oh, no.
00:15:17.300 Good.
00:15:17.440 All right.
00:15:17.720 Oh, no.
00:15:19.080 Gosh.
00:15:20.060 Look,
00:15:20.900 there is definitely,
00:15:21.520 there is a path here.
00:15:22.600 There is a path.
00:15:23.440 For Republicans to win.
00:15:24.120 Again,
00:15:24.600 you got to win Alaska,
00:15:25.700 which will go to the Republicans,
00:15:27.080 just a matter of which Republican it goes to.
00:15:29.020 Then you need to win
00:15:31.040 three out of the four
00:15:33.300 of
00:15:34.200 Nevada,
00:15:35.520 Nevada,
00:15:36.340 Wisconsin,
00:15:37.480 Georgia,
00:15:38.100 Arizona.
00:15:39.980 Okay.
00:15:40.660 Not going to win Arizona.
00:15:41.860 Arizona's going to be tough.
00:15:42.220 That's not going to happen.
00:15:43.020 It's not,
00:15:43.540 I think you're right,
00:15:44.540 but it's not a,
00:15:45.360 they haven't been called the race yet,
00:15:46.860 but it's probably not going to happen.
00:15:48.300 So you're saying there's a shot.
00:15:50.860 Yes.
00:15:52.300 We were talking about this off the air.
00:15:53.800 The betting markets think it's about a 20% chance.
00:15:56.380 Oof.
00:15:57.380 Okay.
00:15:57.800 Well,
00:15:58.000 that's not zero.
00:15:58.900 Of course,
00:15:59.240 yesterday they were saying it was a 70% chance for Republicans to regain control of the Senate.
00:16:04.580 Right.
00:16:05.000 Now,
00:16:05.260 I think the last 538 model had it at 59% for Republicans to win.
00:16:10.540 This was a betting market.
00:16:11.580 The betting markets got up as high as,
00:16:12.860 you know,
00:16:13.220 70,
00:16:14.320 75,
00:16:14.920 80% at times.
00:16:16.140 Yep.
00:16:16.700 But it did not hold out.
00:16:18.200 And look,
00:16:18.600 you lost a couple of key races.
00:16:20.100 I mean,
00:16:20.260 people are going to go back and question,
00:16:21.880 you know,
00:16:22.300 a bunch of,
00:16:23.100 a bunch of stuff.
00:16:23.820 Everyone's going to find their little narrative out of this.
00:16:25.920 But the bottom line is,
00:16:27.560 it was an uphill battle for Republicans from the beginning in the Senate.
00:16:30.060 And they are going to,
00:16:33.040 it's,
00:16:33.440 they're going to either come very,
00:16:34.560 very close and fall just short or just get across that finish line.
00:16:38.300 What if the message to Republicans is,
00:16:40.680 Hey,
00:16:41.060 we need to find a candidate with dementia and run that person.
00:16:46.340 And have them weigh in office because people love candidates with dementia.
00:16:51.500 They love it.
00:16:52.240 They love candidates that can't communicate.
00:16:53.980 Cognitively.
00:16:54.500 Yeah.
00:16:54.940 You know,
00:16:55.660 messed up.
00:16:56.280 Some,
00:16:56.380 some way.
00:16:56.880 Impaired.
00:16:57.140 Yeah.
00:16:57.580 Messed up.
00:16:58.300 We're going to,
00:16:58.980 or,
00:16:59.180 or even better than the average person.
00:17:01.740 Uh huh.
00:17:02.260 Who are you to judge?
00:17:03.300 That's right.
00:17:04.040 Stop.
00:17:04.840 Aren't there those movies where like the kid seems like she's a little out of sorts and
00:17:08.840 I can't really relate to the other kids.
00:17:10.720 And all of a sudden you realize she has superpowers.
00:17:12.540 Maybe that's what's going on with Fetterman.
00:17:14.040 Maybe he has.
00:17:14.460 By the way,
00:17:15.400 I saw him come out with his wife.
00:17:17.320 It was like one 30 wife and children. 1.00
00:17:19.800 Uh huh.
00:17:20.280 Oh,
00:17:20.520 that looked like a normal family.
00:17:22.440 Yeah.
00:17:22.840 Oh yeah.
00:17:23.400 I bet it came out with her either rubber dress or leather dress. 0.95
00:17:27.980 Oh,
00:17:28.260 nice.
00:17:28.740 Either way.
00:17:30.040 Nice.
00:17:30.520 Is it possible it was made out of rubber?
00:17:32.340 It is possible.
00:17:33.640 You should have seen it.
00:17:34.840 Look it up.
00:17:35.420 Look it up.
00:17:36.100 Thank you.
00:17:37.000 Boy,
00:17:37.300 I'm not interested in looking.
00:17:38.560 I'm running for Senate.
00:17:41.000 Senate one.
00:17:44.420 Hello.
00:17:45.740 I mean,
00:17:46.420 it was,
00:17:46.980 it was good.
00:17:47.720 Uh,
00:17:48.220 but,
00:17:48.620 uh,
00:17:48.820 he's always good.
00:17:49.680 She looks scary as hell.
00:17:51.900 She looked really frightening.
00:17:53.420 Anyway,
00:17:53.660 that maybe that was just me.
00:17:55.720 I,
00:17:55.960 I don't want to judge her.
00:17:57.660 It's like the people on the view,
00:17:59.680 you know,
00:18:00.340 it was so wrong to make fun of Fetterman.
00:18:03.520 It was just so wrong.
00:18:05.300 And the very next day they're talking,
00:18:07.540 I can't remember who they're talking about.
00:18:08.720 I think,
00:18:09.100 I think,
00:18:09.520 uh,
00:18:10.080 Carrie Lake,
00:18:11.060 what's wrong with her? 1.00
00:18:12.200 She's got like brain damage. 1.00
00:18:13.940 You're like,
00:18:14.560 what?
00:18:14.900 What?
00:18:15.860 Wow.
00:18:16.440 What?
00:18:17.320 Wow.
00:18:17.520 Anyway,
00:18:18.000 um,
00:18:18.400 here's some more good news.
00:18:20.240 DeSantis,
00:18:21.440 the man who I believe holds the record now for the,
00:18:25.600 uh,
00:18:26.760 highest percentage difference in,
00:18:30.540 uh,
00:18:30.900 in winner to loser in the state of Florida.
00:18:33.660 Nobody's ever won with 20 point spread.
00:18:36.280 Um,
00:18:36.820 he also,
00:18:37.840 uh,
00:18:38.400 holds the record.
00:18:39.320 I believe for the most confetti ever dropped,
00:18:42.760 uh,
00:18:44.060 on a candidate at the,
00:18:45.780 uh,
00:18:46.020 announcement that he won.
00:18:47.560 Uh,
00:18:48.160 and he also has scored more,
00:18:50.580 uh,
00:18:51.180 school board wins in this,
00:18:54.000 uh,
00:18:54.300 in this last race.
00:18:55.600 The parental rights group,
00:18:58.020 the moms for Liberty,
00:18:59.260 especially have played a huge,
00:19:02.680 huge role in Florida,
00:19:04.220 but so did DeSantis.
00:19:05.760 Um,
00:19:06.560 they endorsed 12 school board candidates in Florida donated to the
00:19:11.060 campaigns.
00:19:11.620 The Democrats endorsed 20 candidates and they got six wins and 10
00:19:17.640 losses.
00:19:18.180 So not good.
00:19:20.400 Um,
00:19:21.300 this is also DeSantis.
00:19:23.380 He said yesterday,
00:19:24.600 uh,
00:19:25.820 or the day before that,
00:19:27.860 if he has a mandate,
00:19:29.780 he is going to march through the state institutions and cut this cancer out.
00:19:37.800 Um,
00:19:38.800 that would be remarkable if he did it.
00:19:41.360 Um,
00:19:42.340 I,
00:19:42.540 I,
00:19:42.840 I will tell you the,
00:19:44.020 the real winner last night,
00:19:46.360 uh,
00:19:46.880 the real message we should get is from Ron DeSantis.
00:19:50.420 He is,
00:19:51.720 he is not afraid to go in and clean things up.
00:19:57.660 He's not afraid or ashamed or timid about being an American and believing
00:20:04.360 in individual rights and believing that you as a parent have the right to
00:20:09.600 raise your own child and we shouldn't mutilate children. 0.62
00:20:12.840 I'm so sick and tired of these,
00:20:15.480 these,
00:20:16.120 um,
00:20:17.280 uh,
00:20:18.080 governors and all of these Republicans that are so mealy mouthed on it.
00:20:22.680 If you can't see the difference between good and evil now,
00:20:26.180 you're never going to,
00:20:27.440 when you have somebody like Spencer Cox in Utah,
00:20:31.660 I don't even begin to understand that guy.
00:20:34.720 These,
00:20:35.500 these red States should be, 0.98
00:20:38.880 uh,
00:20:41.080 Titans of the constitution right now.
00:20:43.940 They should be the ones that are really,
00:20:46.420 truly.
00:20:47.040 And why did he win by 20 points?
00:20:49.980 Because he's not nasty about it.
00:20:52.440 DeSantis.
00:20:53.140 Yeah.
00:20:53.720 He's not nasty about it.
00:20:55.500 He's just,
00:20:56.620 he's just doing it because in America,
00:21:00.360 we all used to know what common sense is.
00:21:04.300 But if you get waylaid by the politics and Twitter and everything else,
00:21:10.160 you're not going to do it.
00:21:11.380 He just goes in and does it.
00:21:12.940 He doesn't,
00:21:13.360 he doesn't,
00:21:14.220 he doesn't egg people on and he doesn't call people names.
00:21:17.340 He just does it.
00:21:18.720 It's interesting here.
00:21:19.840 It's like DeSantis coming out of that election where the rest of the country for Republicans,
00:21:27.000 generally speaking,
00:21:27.940 underperformed what was expected.
00:21:30.400 And DeSantis far outperforms even his best poll.
00:21:35.300 And you look at this and you say,
00:21:36.960 well,
00:21:37.160 what's,
00:21:37.460 what's the secret here?
00:21:38.120 Is Ron DeSantis some sort of superhero?
00:21:40.140 No,
00:21:40.560 he's competent.
00:21:41.640 And he just says that he just tells the truth.
00:21:44.120 And he just lays it out.
00:21:45.220 I mean,
00:21:45.700 and he's unashamedly.
00:21:46.820 And he,
00:21:47.460 like Glenn mentioned,
00:21:48.000 he,
00:21:48.180 he's not embarrassed.
00:21:49.280 He's not afraid.
00:21:51.320 He's not afraid of it.
00:21:52.340 Yeah.
00:21:52.500 I don't care about the Twitter mob.
00:21:54.140 Right.
00:21:54.400 And he just moves forward.
00:21:56.040 Christy Noem is she did well last night too.
00:21:59.600 She did well and she took some stance,
00:22:02.620 but then she also refused to call a special session to allow the legislature to pass a bill banning COVID vaccine passports.
00:22:11.260 She also,
00:22:13.000 you know,
00:22:13.460 was mealy mouthed on the,
00:22:15.460 on the whole gender identity thing for girls in schools.
00:22:19.540 That's not good enough.
00:22:21.500 It's not good enough.
00:22:23.500 What do you believe?
00:22:26.540 You know,
00:22:26.920 we have people in America now,
00:22:29.720 and I've talked to several people,
00:22:31.540 lives,
00:22:32.080 fortunes,
00:22:32.520 and sacred honor.
00:22:33.480 They know that they are looking at a time.
00:22:36.400 If things ever went really horrible in this country,
00:22:39.820 you can go to jail for what you believe.
00:22:43.560 If we don't get control of the DOJ,
00:22:45.760 you will see people go to jail for what they believe.
00:22:50.560 People are prepared,
00:22:52.100 prepared to do it.
00:22:53.360 People are preparing themselves to be able to stand when all odds are against them.
00:22:58.880 I know people who are willing to lose their entire fortune,
00:23:02.980 and some of them have nothing.
00:23:05.080 Some of them have a lot to lose,
00:23:07.040 but they're willing to do it.
00:23:08.720 If you can't get that kind of leadership,
00:23:11.520 that is willing to say,
00:23:13.500 you know what?
00:23:14.100 I'm going to do what I know is right,
00:23:17.500 and if the people want to vote me out,
00:23:21.240 they'll vote me out.
00:23:22.520 But I know these things are right,
00:23:24.920 because they're constitutional,
00:23:27.200 and they are based on everything this country was based on.
00:23:30.880 Where are these governors that have the balls to follow the lead? 1.00
00:23:39.420 By the way,
00:23:40.160 he also shifted Florida from a swing state to solidly GOP.
00:23:45.920 God,
00:23:46.400 that's weird to say,
00:23:47.480 isn't it?
00:23:48.100 I mean,
00:23:48.660 coming up,
00:23:49.480 talking about these issues for so long,
00:23:51.800 I mean,
00:23:52.100 the 2000 election has scarred all of us,
00:23:54.500 I think.
00:23:54.880 But really,
00:23:55.980 I mean,
00:23:56.180 you look at a couple of these states,
00:23:57.440 the 2000 and 2004,
00:23:59.240 the big swing states in those two elections,
00:24:01.120 are now pretty red.
00:24:03.420 Ohio and Florida really aren't the swing states that they used to be.
00:24:07.780 And we don't know,
00:24:08.380 this could end at some point,
00:24:09.920 obviously,
00:24:10.300 but that's the way it looks right now.
00:24:12.560 And then you have other states that are going the opposite way,
00:24:15.900 you know,
00:24:16.120 states that used to be in play.
00:24:17.680 I mean,
00:24:17.780 remember George W.
00:24:18.660 Bush won New Mexico in one of those elections,
00:24:20.740 if I remember correctly.
00:24:22.540 You know,
00:24:22.720 Colorado used to be a really.
00:24:24.380 A red state.
00:24:25.180 A red state.
00:24:26.120 I mean,
00:24:26.600 Arizona was red.
00:24:28.100 I mean,
00:24:28.260 now we're looking at it,
00:24:29.240 Arizona as really purple.
00:24:31.420 I don't think you can.
00:24:32.200 And Carrie, 1.00
00:24:32.920 the reason why Carrie Lake, 0.75
00:24:34.580 she might still win.
00:24:36.420 I think she pulls it off,
00:24:37.840 but she might still win.
00:24:39.300 Yeah.
00:24:40.060 And if she does,
00:24:42.000 she's only repeating DeSantis's track,
00:24:46.500 track record.
00:24:47.380 He came in,
00:24:48.880 barely won.
00:24:50.740 Barely won against a guy who was later,
00:24:54.120 you know,
00:24:54.880 doing blow off some gay hookers belly. 1.00
00:24:59.580 Right.
00:25:01.280 I mean,
00:25:01.620 that's,
00:25:02.020 it sounds like hyperbole,
00:25:03.240 but it's not.
00:25:04.740 It's pretty close to the story.
00:25:06.420 So he barely beat that guy.
00:25:09.880 Same thing with Carrie. 1.00
00:25:11.860 If Carrie gets in and she actually does what she says she's going to do and
00:25:18.160 does it with class and a smile,
00:25:21.060 then she'll see the same kind of results as,
00:25:25.420 as DeSantis.
00:25:26.940 It's interesting too,
00:25:27.960 because look,
00:25:28.660 different candidates work best for different states.
00:25:31.200 I mean,
00:25:31.400 Carrie Lake is one of the more talented communicators we've seen come around in a 1.00
00:25:35.180 really long time.
00:25:35.960 And I think you,
00:25:37.420 but you also need to,
00:25:38.120 we also need to step back and remember that if,
00:25:40.400 you know,
00:25:40.640 if Doug Ducey ran for another term,
00:25:42.660 he probably wins this race easily.
00:25:45.200 You know,
00:25:45.460 there's certain types of candidates fit certain types of states.
00:25:49.740 And,
00:25:49.880 you know,
00:25:50.280 Ducey is much more traditional Republican.
00:25:52.080 He's done some really good things with like school choice that we,
00:25:55.140 that I think were really positive.
00:25:57.040 Other things that I,
00:25:58.060 you know,
00:25:58.440 maybe wouldn't be my favorite policies,
00:26:00.840 but this is a state that loved freaking John McCain,
00:26:02.840 right?
00:26:02.980 They love a different brand of,
00:26:05.240 of,
00:26:05.540 and Barry Goldwater and Barry Goldwater,
00:26:07.960 right?
00:26:08.780 So it's an interesting case here where in some ways we don't know if,
00:26:14.680 if Arizona is looking at Carrie Lake and embracing that,
00:26:17.780 that policy prescription.
00:26:19.580 We don't even know really what she would do as governor. 0.97
00:26:22.680 Hopefully we're about to find out,
00:26:23.940 but she was so talented as a politician. 1.00
00:26:27.140 She was able potentially to,
00:26:29.140 to bring herself over the line where Blake masters,
00:26:32.140 who might've had maybe even may have been more aligned with,
00:26:35.540 what what Arizona wants, 1.00
00:26:37.960 maybe policy wise was it looks like he was unable to do it again.
00:26:42.340 Both of those races are too close to call.
00:26:43.780 I don't want to give any final situations on that,
00:26:46.060 but although masters is behind by like six points.
00:26:49.600 Yeah.
00:26:49.800 I mean,
00:26:50.040 but this,
00:26:50.660 again,
00:26:51.080 the,
00:26:51.440 it's going to continue to tighten right now.
00:26:52.860 Yeah.
00:26:53.320 You know,
00:26:54.060 the light,
00:26:54.780 the last projections of the vote in,
00:26:57.220 I think,
00:26:57.640 but yeah,
00:26:57.980 the last projections I saw was,
00:26:59.680 were,
00:27:00.120 were that masters was going to lose by between two and three points.
00:27:04.340 So if you see that same type of movement in the gubernatorial race and they
00:27:09.420 stayed about four points apart from each other the entire time last night,
00:27:12.700 if that,
00:27:13.260 if that holds,
00:27:13.900 that means Carrie Lake would probably get across the finish line barely, 1.00
00:27:16.460 but it's going to be close.
00:27:18.380 It's going to be really close.
00:27:20.040 I will tell you,
00:27:20.800 it is inexcusable that the secretary of state who is running for governor,
00:27:25.660 who is still running the election.
00:27:27.320 I just think it's inexcusable.
00:27:29.340 Was she though,
00:27:29.740 or did she recuse herself or did they,
00:27:31.760 she should have recused somebody else. 0.74
00:27:33.780 I never heard whether that happened,
00:27:35.520 but I can't imagine she can oversee the election.
00:27:38.160 Yeah,
00:27:38.400 no,
00:27:38.660 I'm pretty sure she did.
00:27:40.220 I'm pretty sure she did.
00:27:41.280 This was Abrams complaint back in 2000,
00:27:43.980 the last election.
00:27:44.880 What was that?
00:27:45.260 2008.
00:27:46.120 I can't even remember.
00:27:46.800 It shouldn't happen.
00:27:47.540 Run together.
00:27:48.460 Yeah.
00:27:49.000 I,
00:27:49.500 you know,
00:27:49.720 like when you're running for a higher office overseeing,
00:27:52.320 I'm not saying,
00:27:52.900 I'm not saying that anything happened,
00:27:54.620 but I will tell you that that's the first thing you think of when the voting
00:27:59.540 machines don't work.
00:28:00.880 Yeah.
00:28:01.200 And then a judge says,
00:28:02.600 Nope,
00:28:02.800 we're not going to keep them open late.
00:28:04.740 Well,
00:28:04.880 wait a minute.
00:28:05.260 They didn't work for hours.
00:28:07.220 What happened to all those votes?
00:28:09.560 It's inexcusable.
00:28:10.720 And honestly,
00:28:12.060 for Arizona,
00:28:13.020 did you not feel a little shame like Florida did in 2000 in 2020?
00:28:17.980 Did you not go,
00:28:19.260 Oh,
00:28:19.420 we kind of suck.
00:28:20.480 We're kind of screwing this one up.
00:28:21.940 There was the election wise election wise.
00:28:24.460 I mean,
00:28:24.820 there's no reason for these states to do it except the Democrats want it to be
00:28:31.520 chaotic.
00:28:32.360 They just want it to be chaotic.
00:28:34.880 That's,
00:28:35.560 that's inexcusable.
00:28:36.680 And every Republican independent and Democrat should be against that.
00:28:42.220 We should all be for a safe,
00:28:45.720 secure,
00:28:46.380 and easy process.
00:28:48.660 There's no reason in 2020 that we're acting like it's,
00:28:52.760 you know,
00:28:53.460 1820.
00:28:54.820 Why are we waiting?
00:28:56.780 I mean,
00:28:57.520 it's,
00:28:57.880 it's no way for anything.
00:28:59.000 But again,
00:28:59.720 a lot of this,
00:29:00.240 a lot of this has to do with Democrats wanting to receive mail-in ballots two weeks after the election.
00:29:04.820 Yes.
00:29:05.000 I,
00:29:05.440 you know,
00:29:05.740 in other states,
00:29:06.620 there are Republicans have voted for measures that,
00:29:10.440 that delay the vote count as well.
00:29:12.500 It is something that we really should focus on correcting because it's not,
00:29:17.620 it's,
00:29:17.820 this is not a spending issue.
00:29:19.200 It's not a crime.
00:29:20.680 It,
00:29:20.780 it,
00:29:21.000 this is something everybody should be able to agree on.
00:29:23.220 Let's get these freaking results the night of the election.
00:29:25.540 Right.
00:29:25.760 That should be easy.
00:29:26.800 But,
00:29:27.200 but just know you cannot go on to a rant about this without pointing out you do not want that dictated by the federal government.
00:29:36.640 Absolutely not.
00:29:37.520 You do not want that dictated.
00:29:39.460 And that's what the Democrats are trying to do.
00:29:45.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:48.000 Okay.
00:29:56.020 So what did we learn last night?
00:29:57.300 I think we learned,
00:29:58.200 um,
00:29:59.720 three really important things.
00:30:01.580 One,
00:30:02.860 Ron DeSantis is the model.
00:30:05.940 Any Republican that's not willing to look at Ron DeSantis and see what he did and how he did it and begin to model themselves after that is a fool.
00:30:18.000 An absolute fool.
00:30:19.880 He is not angry.
00:30:21.780 He is not divisive,
00:30:24.600 at least intentionally divisive.
00:30:26.720 That's not his goal.
00:30:28.920 His goal is to be decisive and decisive.
00:30:33.180 People are perceived sometimes as divisive because a lot of people don't want to make it changes.
00:30:41.960 It is time to make changes.
00:30:45.860 20 points.
00:30:48.000 The largest distance between he and a competitor in the history of Florida.
00:30:55.840 20 points.
00:30:58.380 This was the story last night.
00:31:00.380 And this is the path forward.
00:31:02.640 My question is,
00:31:04.680 are there any Republican GOP governors that care to join him?
00:31:12.280 Anyone?
00:31:12.840 Is there anybody that is a governor watching last night and going, you know what, damn it, I really, I need to step up my game?
00:31:22.860 Because that's what people are looking for.
00:31:24.120 Because that's what people are looking for.
00:31:25.900 They're not looking for another mealy mouth person.
00:31:29.500 They are looking for people that take decisive action.
00:31:32.940 And I will tell you, that's on both sides.
00:31:35.820 Look at the people who took decisive action that we thought was divisive because we don't agree with them.
00:31:43.800 A lot of them were reelected, reelected.
00:31:47.840 Second thing, our nation is spiritually lost, completely lost.
00:31:59.020 There is only one savior, and he's not on a ballot.
00:32:03.440 And until we drop the manifest destiny arrogance of God's on my side, we will continue to suffer defeat, hardships, and darkness.
00:32:14.360 And I mean, as a nation, we are all going to pay for this.
00:32:18.500 We're all going to pay for it.
00:32:20.400 We must be on God's side.
00:32:24.120 And that requires humility.
00:32:26.320 And I didn't see anybody humble yesterday.
00:32:30.380 Did you?
00:32:30.760 I don't see anybody humble today.
00:32:34.260 And until we humble ourselves, we will have it done for us.
00:32:41.420 And the humbling is going to be very, very painful.
00:32:46.460 I believe that I found an answer last night to something I didn't want the answer to.
00:32:52.920 I've said for 20-some years, alcoholics are going to be the ones that save this country.
00:32:59.360 But we are, we are just like an alcoholic.
00:33:03.680 We just keep going back to the bottle and saying, I want more.
00:33:07.900 No matter how damaging it is, I want more.
00:33:11.020 And I've said to you, alcoholics cannot be saved.
00:33:16.140 You can't save an alcoholic.
00:33:18.060 They have to feel the ramifications of their own mistakes.
00:33:23.740 And then want to live.
00:33:28.400 And some people, their bottom is death.
00:33:32.820 And I truly believe now the answer is our bottom, unfortunately, with far too many people, is death.
00:33:43.560 The death of our nation, the death of our lifestyle, the death of our culture, the death of the Western way of life.
00:33:55.580 When you have no gas, no fuel, no heat, no meat, no control, no wealth, don't own anything, that's the death of everything that you know.
00:34:12.820 And maybe then you'll wake up.
00:34:14.480 I don't know.
00:34:16.460 Third thing is Mitch McConnell was and is wrong.
00:34:23.200 Lukewarm Democrats, lukewarm Republicans are not going to defeat the Democrats.
00:34:33.400 Just not being a Democrat is not enough.
00:34:38.480 And Mitch McConnell should feel the ramifications of this loss.
00:34:42.100 Mitt Romney said just last week he tweeted that a red wave was coming and it was all thanks to Mitch McConnell.
00:34:49.760 Well, it turns out he was right.
00:34:51.500 What was coming is all thanks to Mitch McConnell.
00:34:55.620 This is not leadership.
00:34:59.600 Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, their ilk.
00:35:05.740 They don't offer us anything.
00:35:08.340 There is no vision there.
00:35:11.040 This is thanks to Mitch McConnell.
00:35:13.740 I have a hard time not not actually calling what he proposes collusion.
00:35:21.360 Where's the path forward?
00:35:23.140 And what is it?
00:35:24.200 A slower trip to hell?
00:35:27.040 Mitch McConnell said over the summer, we don't have to do anything.
00:35:30.060 We just have to not be Democrats.
00:35:32.520 That's not enough.
00:35:33.520 Now, let me get off Mitch McConnell here and ask all of the Republicans.
00:35:40.040 When do you begin to declare who you are?
00:35:47.080 We need to declare who we are.
00:35:49.680 The Declaration of Independence didn't just say, we just don't have we just don't want to be like the king.
00:35:58.240 So what it said?
00:35:59.580 It was clear.
00:36:00.900 We're different.
00:36:02.400 We want to go away that no one else wants to go because we believe certain things because we have spiritual wisdom.
00:36:11.660 We have spiritual wisdom.
00:36:15.100 We know what's true and what is not.
00:36:18.620 And with that spiritual wisdom applied, we see things that are self-evident that you don't.
00:36:25.620 We don't need to indoctrinate our people.
00:36:27.960 We don't need to stop speech.
00:36:30.100 We don't need to put people in jail because they disagree.
00:36:33.540 These things are obvious when you humble yourself enough to fight for his will and not our will.
00:36:45.380 What do we have now that are self-evident truths?
00:36:49.460 Seriously, what do we have?
00:36:52.480 There's a portion of the Democrats that will mouth the words, oh, oh, men are created equal.
00:37:00.260 But they don't really live it.
00:37:02.000 They don't believe it.
00:37:03.540 They're just as likely to put somebody in for revenge purposes or whatever.
00:37:09.800 They're just as likely to violate the Constitution as anybody on the left.
00:37:14.360 And the left, they're experts at that.
00:37:23.620 I know what those truths are.
00:37:26.420 I don't think I know.
00:37:27.900 I know.
00:37:29.740 Because I know who I am and I know who God is.
00:37:32.800 And God is a God of the individual.
00:37:37.180 The plan of darkness.
00:37:39.440 The plan of Satan, if you will, is the plan of collectivism.
00:37:44.760 No individual salvation.
00:37:47.440 No individual choices.
00:37:49.260 We will not allow you to fail.
00:37:51.300 We will not allow you to feel the consequence of anything.
00:37:54.980 Because we'll tell you what to do.
00:38:00.200 Life, as long as the collective agrees, then you have the right to life.
00:38:06.680 I mean, that's if they agree your life is worth living.
00:38:11.020 Anybody remember George Bernard Shaw?
00:38:14.060 We should just line people up and ask them, justify your life.
00:38:19.020 Collectivism believes liberty.
00:38:24.240 As long as you believe, think, speak, and do what the collective tells you is part of liberty.
00:38:32.140 Pursuit of happiness?
00:38:33.280 No, there's no path for the individual to do what he or she believes that she was sent here to do.
00:38:40.220 Let alone just have your own business because you're not going to keep any of the spoils.
00:38:45.600 The God of this world will tell you what to do.
00:38:49.680 And you will praise the God of this world.
00:38:52.540 You know, I know I shared Ephesians with you a couple of days ago.
00:39:02.800 But there's more to this.
00:39:05.280 Let me just run through this quickly because I want to add on to what I said the other day.
00:39:13.200 Remember in Ephesians it says, look, you cannot, I'm paraphrasing horribly,
00:39:18.260 you can't live as the people of the world do, as the Gentiles do. 1.00
00:39:24.840 You can't in the futility of their thinking.
00:39:30.140 Think of that, the futility of their thinking.
00:39:33.200 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God.
00:39:38.620 Is that true?
00:39:39.560 Do you believe that people are darkened in their understanding?
00:39:45.160 How can people not notice what's happening to their own lives because of the way they vote?
00:39:56.760 They're darkened from their understanding.
00:39:59.660 They're separated from the life of God.
00:40:01.980 And listen, because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
00:40:09.140 Meaning, I'm not listening to you.
00:40:12.320 I won't listen to reason anymore.
00:40:14.660 I won't talk to you anymore.
00:40:18.760 I've hardened my heart to anything that is outside of my worldview.
00:40:25.560 And it goes on.
00:40:27.000 Having lost all sensitivity.
00:40:30.000 Wow.
00:40:31.780 Think of this just with what porn does on the internet.
00:40:35.560 You lose all sensitivity.
00:40:37.820 It's got to get worse and worse and worse.
00:40:40.100 Having lost all sensitivity, they've given themselves over to sensuality as to indulge in every kind of impurity.
00:40:47.340 And they are full of greed.
00:40:50.200 This describes today.
00:40:53.300 And then he says, but that's not the way of life you learned.
00:41:01.540 When you heard about Christ, you were taught in him accordance with the truth.
00:41:09.240 So, you were taught the truth.
00:41:13.220 This is not about them.
00:41:14.580 This is about us.
00:41:16.000 It's not good enough just not to be them.
00:41:19.280 Nowhere does God say, you know what?
00:41:21.060 Just don't be that guy.
00:41:23.800 Just don't be like those guys.
00:41:25.320 That's not what he says.
00:41:28.080 He just says, you were taught better than that.
00:41:31.900 You know better than that.
00:41:34.060 He goes on.
00:41:34.760 You were taught with regard to your former way of life to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.
00:41:44.420 You were taught to be made new in the attitude of your mind and put on a new self.
00:41:50.160 So, he's really not judging those people.
00:41:56.300 He's judging us.
00:41:58.340 Have you forgotten?
00:42:00.820 You have to put off all falsehood and all lies.
00:42:03.820 Speak truthfully to your neighbor.
00:42:05.820 For we are members of one body.
00:42:09.080 He doesn't say speak truthfully to the people you like.
00:42:13.260 He says to your neighbor who you are supposed to love.
00:42:17.320 And in your anger, don't sin.
00:42:18.940 Don't let the sun go down while you're still angry.
00:42:21.980 Don't give the devil a foothold.
00:42:24.160 Anyone who's stealing, listen to this.
00:42:25.900 Anyone who's stealing must steal no longer, but must work.
00:42:30.000 Now, that sounds like a Republican policy.
00:42:32.720 You can't steal.
00:42:34.160 You have to work.
00:42:36.340 But there's not a period after there.
00:42:38.860 There is a comma, which the Republicans don't get.
00:42:43.320 You must work doing something useful with your hands that you might have something to share with those in need.
00:42:55.580 It's not work just so you can enrich yourself.
00:42:59.280 It is work so you can choose to share with others.
00:43:05.360 We have lost that.
00:43:06.900 We've lost much of this ability.
00:43:10.580 So now, where do we go from here?
00:43:18.720 Here's what you need to learn.
00:43:20.380 This is the last thing that we need to learn.
00:43:24.280 That you have everything you need.
00:43:26.900 You have everything you need.
00:43:32.500 You've been enriched in every way with all kinds of speech and knowledge.
00:43:38.420 You get that from God.
00:43:40.960 You don't lack anything.
00:43:44.480 You need a spiritual gift.
00:43:46.260 You have it.
00:43:46.900 And God will keep you firm until the end.
00:43:51.120 Because he is faithful to things that are true.
00:43:58.140 We can't divide ourselves.
00:44:01.740 We have to be united in truth.
00:44:07.380 And here's what's great.
00:44:09.220 The message of salvation, that's, I mean, that's crazy talk to people who are, you know, on the other side denying all reality.
00:44:26.180 But that's the point.
00:44:29.200 God said, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent.
00:44:34.560 I will frustrate.
00:44:35.580 So, where is that wise person that we trust that really is truly wise now in the ways of the world?
00:44:44.760 Is the world wise?
00:44:46.960 Where's the teacher of the law?
00:44:49.140 Where's the philosopher?
00:44:52.340 There's no one that fits in those categories that you're like, oh, yeah, I trust him.
00:44:57.920 He's really, really wise.
00:44:59.720 Because the world is not wise.
00:45:05.580 God is wiser than human wisdom.
00:45:11.500 Weakness of God is stronger than any strength.
00:45:17.040 When we first started our spiritual life, how many of us were wise by human standards?
00:45:26.940 How many of us were really influential?
00:45:29.520 How many of us were born to the right family and had the right wealth?
00:45:35.160 Very few, I would imagine.
00:45:37.560 Those of us who really converted probably really struggled for a long time.
00:45:42.340 Because that's how you find the truth.
00:45:44.340 Through struggle.
00:45:45.320 And that's when you chose God or God chose you.
00:45:53.360 When you were weak.
00:45:57.120 When you were lowly.
00:45:58.640 When you were despised.
00:46:03.380 And that's why you have so much power.
00:46:06.260 You have so much power because you are weak.
00:46:14.740 You are lowly.
00:46:17.360 You're not part of the wise counsel that everybody wants to be a part of now.
00:46:25.040 You're not seeking fame.
00:46:27.140 If we seek the truth, the truth, no matter where it takes us, all will be better than well.
00:46:38.340 We will heal our nation.
00:46:41.500 That should be our goal.
00:46:43.680 That should be our path.
00:46:46.380 Look to the people who have done it politically.
00:46:49.520 And that's clear in Florida.
00:46:51.400 And then look inside of yourself and rely on God.
00:46:55.300 Na na na na na.
