00:00:00.000 Hey, some great perspective on today's podcast.
00:00:03.080 We talked a little bit about why Ron DeSantis is the model for all governors and being constitutional.
00:00:10.060 We have Eric Prince on.
00:00:11.600 We also talk about the appearance on a comedy podcast with Donald Trump.
00:00:19.420 Best podcast with Donald Trump I've ever seen.
00:00:23.000 Really, really good.
00:00:24.300 And we learned an awful lot from that.
00:00:26.860 Also, the latest poll numbers on Trump and the Senate.
00:00:31.700 Let me talk to you about Jace Medical.
00:00:33.660 I think we're seeing that when things go to hell in a handbasket, I don't know why you would go to hell in a handbasket.
00:00:42.060 It's hot.
00:00:42.660 I mean, that's probably made out of wicker.
00:00:44.400 Anyway, I digress.
00:00:46.720 Jace Medical is so critically important.
00:00:51.060 We have had our helicopters delivering antibiotics everywhere.
00:00:55.660 Everywhere.
00:00:56.580 People get hurt and then they don't have antibiotics and they can't get them.
00:01:01.080 So, Jace has been helping us with antibiotics and other things that people need.
00:01:06.680 And I suggest you have them on hand.
00:01:10.300 The U.S. relies on China for 80% of our generic medication.
00:01:15.340 80.
00:01:15.640 Like 18 out of 20 of our main antibiotics comes from China.
00:01:23.920 I think this is a problem that maybe we should address and you should be prepared to for.

00:01:40.040 Back.
00:01:48.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:53.760 Well, let me just say this.
00:01:55.340 I don't know about you, but I was listening to DeSantis.
00:01:58.500 Let me see if we have the longer version of Ron DeSantis giving the update right before the hurricane hit.
00:02:10.720 It was pretty remarkable.
00:02:13.540 Let's actually start on cut 13 as he's talking about looters and criminals.
00:02:20.120 This is not going to be an opportunity for folks to take advantage of people.
00:02:27.380 If you think you're going to go in and loot, you've got another thing coming.
00:02:30.860 You go into somebody's house after the storm passes, think that you're going to be able to commit crimes,
00:02:37.560 you're going to get in really serious trouble.
00:02:40.120 And quite frankly, you don't know what's behind that door in a Second Amendment state.
00:02:44.020 So do not try to take advantage of people who are suffering because of the results of this storm.
00:02:51.440 That goes for Helene continually. 1.00
00:02:53.900 But then, of course, that will be the case for Milton.
00:02:57.200 I know we've already brought a lot of people, held people accountable in post-Helene.
00:03:02.540 We will be very swift across all levels of government to throw the book at people.
00:03:07.240 And, of course, when you make these bad decisions, you're opening yourself up to response from property owners who may be inside that house.
00:03:15.160 You hear what he just said?
00:03:17.320 He is saying justice will be served.
00:03:20.900 It will be swift.
00:03:23.180 But most importantly, we're the second responder.
00:03:27.900 The people behind that door have a right to defend themselves and their stuff, so don't do it.
00:03:34.400 That's an empowering leader.
00:03:37.240 That's somebody, you know, we wouldn't have all of these conspiracy theories, all this, what are they calling it, disinformation.
00:03:47.600 It is not disinformation.
00:03:49.100 It's confusion, a lot of it, confusion from what you've said and what you've done.
00:03:53.600 And then trying to explain in our own heads, what the hell is FEMA doing?
00:04:00.100 That's where it comes from.
00:04:01.540 A lack of leadership.
00:04:03.100 When there is no leadership, the people perish.
00:04:08.160 That's exactly what's happening.
00:04:10.500 Notice Florida has a strong leader and they don't have this problem.
00:04:15.340 Here's what he said about FEMA.
00:04:17.520 Now listen to this.
00:04:20.100 Cut three.
00:04:22.060 Now people have asked me about, you know, is FEMA going to do this?
00:04:25.480 Just let me be clear.
00:04:26.480 In Florida, we run the show.
00:04:28.940 FEMA's not running the show.
00:04:30.640 We will utilize them to support some of the things we're doing.
00:04:33.960 But you are not going to see FEMA running amok in Florida.
00:04:37.220 I know that's been out there on the Internet.
00:04:38.980 That is not going to happen.
00:04:40.340 I'm the sheriff that's in charge here and we will make sure to protect you.
00:04:44.160 Don't worry about it.
00:04:46.360 Okay.
00:04:47.260 How can he say those things?
00:04:49.060 Well, he can say those things because he's already proven them to be true.
00:04:53.640 He's already taken before when he was before he said that he said we have linemen from all over the country already lined up, ready to dispatch wherever the storm takes ground.
00:05:08.540 Okay.
00:05:09.040 So he was telling people we have this in place, this in place, this in place.
00:05:14.240 And we've seen this now three times with him on major hurricanes.
00:05:19.080 So the people don't have to fear.
00:05:21.960 What they were fearing in other states was FEMA.
00:05:26.060 And so what does he say?
00:05:27.820 And how could he possibly tell the federal government, mind their own business?
00:05:32.680 Because he's a believer in the Bill of Rights.
00:05:35.740 Yes, the Bill of Rights does not have any FEMA in it.
00:05:40.720 The Constitution doesn't have FEMA in it. 1.00
00:05:43.320 That's a very nice thing for the government to keep us safe.
00:05:46.040 But it is not their responsibility.
00:05:48.920 It is the responsibility of the state government.
00:05:53.600 Everything not mentioned in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
00:05:56.820 that power all resides at the state level and with the individuals of each state.
00:06:04.540 So what he's saying here is, you're right.
00:06:08.240 You're not going to have a problem with FEMA here.
00:06:10.340 Because I'm running the show.
00:06:13.100 As constitutionally mandated, I'm running the show.
00:06:17.440 And we're not going to have any of that nonsense down here.
00:06:21.540 Look at the difference between a strong governor, somebody who knows the Constitution,
00:06:28.360 is not doing what they did during COVID and saying,
00:06:31.820 hey, I'm just going to take power.
00:06:34.820 No, no, no.
00:06:35.360 Everything he's doing is constitutional.
00:06:38.180 When you had a strong governor in California, you had a non-constitutional strong man.
00:06:46.320 That's the difference between a strong man and a strong constitutional leader.
00:06:54.780 And notice where there's chaos and where there's none.
00:07:00.460 Will somebody please recognize on the left that what's happening in Florida is remarkable?
00:07:11.420 That this is the way constitutional republics behave.
00:07:17.020 This is the duty of a good governor.
00:07:20.980 These are all the hallmarks of a really well-run state.
00:07:26.740 He even addressed yesterday the vote.
00:07:31.100 Don't worry.
00:07:32.340 We're already working on it.
00:07:33.760 If there's a problem, we will make sure that everyone's voice is heard for the election.
00:07:40.840 The guy is on top of absolutely everything.
00:07:46.040 And then the local sheriffs take care of the rest.
00:07:50.160 As they're giving the speeches on take shelter, get out of town,
00:07:56.460 here's what the Flagler County Sheriff, Rick Stolle, said.
00:08:02.760 Listen to this.
00:08:03.460 Anyone that comes in will be checked to make sure that they are not a fugitive and not wanted,
00:08:08.420 not a sex offender.
00:08:09.520 If you are a predator, you are not allowed at the room fire shelter.
00:08:14.820 If you are designated under Florida law as a sex predator and you need shelter,
00:08:20.860 you need to go to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.
00:08:24.480 That's the county jail on Justice Lane.
00:08:27.160 And we will accommodate you in the lobby of that building.
00:08:30.980 You've probably seen it before, I would guess.
00:08:33.480 So what did he just say?
00:08:36.060 Despite what anyone on the left might say at some point,
00:08:40.960 oh my gosh, he was taking sex predators and saying you couldn't come to the shelter.
00:08:45.500 No, no.
00:08:47.700 I believe God's house is a house of order.
00:08:51.020 There is no chaos with God.
00:08:53.740 Look at the difference between this and the border.
00:08:57.420 What's the difference?
00:08:59.440 Our border is chaotic.
00:09:01.340 It's out of control.
00:09:03.600 Here he is in a crisis situation.
00:09:06.800 And what is he saying?
00:09:09.020 Everyone must take shelter.
00:09:11.720 However, when you're going into these family shelters,
00:09:14.940 if you're a predator, we will be checking everyone's papers.
00:09:20.640 Kind of like what we should be doing at the border.
00:09:23.340 We have no problem with you if you need to take shelter or you want to do it the right way.
00:09:28.040 But if you're a predator, we're going to check your papers.
00:09:34.120 If you are a predator, we know you're a human being,
00:09:38.520 but you can't be with the families in the mix
00:09:42.620 because you've proven yourself to society that you are not trustworthy.
00:09:47.280 So you need to report here.
00:09:50.960 We'll be taking you to a detainment center where you'll be safe and our families will be safe.
00:09:57.040 Do you see the difference when law and order and the Constitution is actually in play?
00:10:05.280 This is what, man, I almost called him Ronald Reagan.
00:10:11.060 This is what Donald Trump is talking about.
00:10:15.980 We have to return to law and order, constitutional law and order.
00:10:24.600 I did a show on Fox years ago about the pendulum.
00:10:29.960 Do you remember that pendulum show I did on Fox, Stu, by any chance?
00:10:33.060 And I showed how it swings left and right, but it's actually not left and right.
00:10:37.680 It is the we and the me.
00:10:41.900 Those are the two ends.
00:10:43.720 When we go too far in the me direction, you get the 1980s, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:10:51.280 And everything is about me, and I only care about my wealth,
00:10:55.080 and I don't care about anybody else, okay?
00:10:57.760 That's the zenith of the me.
00:11:01.820 Those are dangerous for people's souls,
00:11:04.460 but those times are not usually dangerous for countries or civilizations
00:11:09.320 because you can't gather a group of people to say,
00:11:14.600 yeah, let's go get them because it's all about the individual, okay?
00:11:19.700 Everybody, it's like hurting.
00:11:21.020 I mean, go ahead.
00:11:21.680 Try to whip up all of the libertarians in the country to go and vote for one person.
00:11:27.460 Good luck with that, okay?
00:11:30.100 The other side is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:11:33.260 It is the we.
00:11:35.700 We're currently at the zenith of the we.
00:11:39.000 It's starting to come back.
00:11:40.740 You feel it.
00:11:42.280 It's an 80-year cycle, okay, from point to return.
00:11:47.460 We are now at the end of that cycle of the we.
00:11:53.040 Those are dangerous.
00:11:54.100 The last one we had was during World War II.
00:11:57.320 The time before that was the Civil War.
00:12:01.440 The time before that was the American Revolution.
00:12:06.220 So you have this cycle that keeps cycling through.
00:12:10.260 The problem is, and this is what I said on Fox,
00:12:13.160 is at some point, if you weaken society enough,
00:12:18.480 you'll get a strongman dictator. 0.90
00:12:21.320 And I said at the time, could be from either side.
00:12:25.660 But somebody who will grab the pendulum and say,
00:12:29.460 we're not moving from here.
00:12:31.540 Because what we have to do is too important,
00:12:34.800 and the ends justify the means.
00:12:38.780 It stops the pendulum from naturally swinging back the other direction.
00:12:44.440 And we're right for about a 30, 40-year period,
00:12:50.560 maybe 20-year period, in the middle, okay,
00:12:54.540 when it's perfectly balanced between me and we.
00:12:58.440 That's when we're in the safest zone.
00:13:01.720 Well, where are we right now?
00:13:05.200 Everybody, both sides, are worried the next guy could be a dictator.
00:13:09.380 Why is that?
00:13:11.540 Because we have crushed our underpinnings,
00:13:15.740 which are the Constitution.
00:13:17.600 Ron DeSantis, they want to call him a Nazi and a dictator.
00:13:20.760 He's not demonstrating dictatorial tendencies here.
00:13:26.380 What he's doing is living exactly by the Constitution.
00:13:30.600 You can have law and order and the Constitution.
00:13:35.140 Anybody who says we need, you know, extra, non-constitutional powers,
00:13:43.140 or they want to change the Constitution because things are so crazy,
00:13:47.440 you're seeing how wrong that is by watching Ron DeSantis.
00:13:52.840 By the way, one is saying that we need to do stuff like this.
00:13:59.020 The other slogan is, we will not go back.
00:14:05.140 If you tripped and fell out of a plate glass window,
00:14:10.240 would you just ignore how you felt afterwards?
00:14:13.400 A car ran over your toes in the parking lot.
00:14:15.980 You just try to walk.
00:14:16.880 Just walk it off, Stu.
00:14:18.120 Just walk it off.
00:14:19.160 No, I don't think so.
00:14:20.560 So when it comes to the aches and pains that you have from getting older,
00:14:24.360 why are you trying to grin and bear it or just shake it off?
00:14:27.760 Especially when there are things like Relief Factor that you can try.
00:14:30.800 I took Relief Factor and got my life back five, six, I don't even know, six years ago.
00:14:37.320 It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation,
00:14:41.540 which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies as well as a lot of the disease.
00:14:47.360 So 70% of the people who take it go on to order more because it works like it worked for me.
00:14:52.400 Stop masking your pain.
00:14:54.300 Start fighting back naturally.
00:14:55.660 Give Relief Factor a try.
00:14:57.240 Try it now.
00:14:58.320 Three-week quick start, $19.95, less than a dollar a day.
00:15:02.480 ReliefFactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:15:05.620 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:15:08.560 Now back to the podcast.
00:15:11.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program,
00:15:13.340 and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:15:18.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:20.520 So, well, we have an update on the Afghani man arrested on charges of planning a terrorist attack on Election Day.
00:15:30.980 Here's a cute little update.
00:15:33.720 He worked in Afghanistan as a security guard for the CIA.
00:15:40.560 Now, I'm not saying that the CIA is not trustworthy, but I'm not not saying that either.
00:15:47.960 Eric Prince joins us now.
00:15:51.240 Hello, Eric.
00:15:51.840 How are you?
00:15:53.180 Good morning, Glenn.
00:15:53.800 How are you?
00:15:54.520 Well, you know, I'd be better if I could trust my government.
00:15:57.760 You know, I think we all would be.
00:16:00.320 Of course.
00:16:00.800 What are your thoughts on this terrorist that the Biden-Harris people let in after extensive vetting, I'm sure,
00:16:10.900 that worked for the CIA, and now he, you know, we catch him trying to, you know, kill a large group of people on Election Day.
00:16:20.720 Well, you know, the debacle of the collapse of the Afghan government enabled by Joe Biden the way they did it certainly pushed tens of thousands of people,
00:16:35.000 even onto U.S. aircraft flown out of Afghanistan without ever being vetted.
00:16:39.240 The fact that this guy used to work for the CIA means that he would have had some level of vetting while in his, well, in Afghanistan.
00:16:50.140 But still, there was always the blue on green type insider attacks.
00:16:54.320 The fact that this guy has come to America, probably had a hard time making it work in our society and radicalized because the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and the rest of that ilk are still actually stronger now.
00:17:08.900 Because after 20 years in Afghanistan, having replaced the Taliban government in 2001 with the Taliban government in 2021,
00:17:18.960 you could say that much of the global war on terror was an abject failure.
00:17:22.620 So, you know, it's, that's the first of many, I believe.
00:17:28.700 And, you know, the lone wolf attack is always the hardest one to figure out because it's not a conspiracy.
00:17:34.460 It's a one guy that decides one day to just go crazy and to take as many of his hosts in his newly adopted land,
00:17:44.740 because I'm sure as a refugee he was given significant money and resources by the U.S. government.
00:17:50.280 And this is his ungrateful return.
00:17:56.520 So, Eric, I mean, this is what you do for a living and you advise countries and businesses and everybody else on what's coming.
00:18:06.200 What are the top things that we should be looking for in the next few weeks that are possible or even probable?
00:18:15.780 Well, on top of that, you have the Iranian government and the IRGC getting pounded rightly in the Middle East.
00:18:27.920 And they've, over the last 20 years, have had unbelievable time and opportunity to build terror cells and networks and capabilities.
00:18:37.540 So, expect that after the inevitable Israeli response to the 180-some ballistic missiles that the Iranians just fired at Israel, 0.60
00:18:48.120 when the Israelis respond and pound inside of Iran, the surrogates and the deep cells of Iranian or other terror agents are going to come to the surface all in the next few weeks just before the election.
00:19:05.480 So, it's keep your circle small and stand by for the black swan type events that people just would not be expecting any other day of the year.
00:19:19.420 And because there's been such a, beyond an open border, a highway of illegals coming in, you've had, it's documented, tens of thousands of people from Iran flown to Venezuela,
00:19:34.820 rebadged as Venezuelan to make their way up into the United States illegally.
00:19:40.160 Obviously, the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, has had ample opportunity to seed lots of terror cells inside of America, and that bitter harvest is probably going to come soon. 0.88
00:19:54.300 You know, a couple of weeks ago, I did a special, and in the special, I talked about how Hezbollah actually has a little island with Venezuela, off the coast of Venezuela,
00:20:05.300 where they're training people, and then they go back to Iran to finish their training, and then they come back over here.
00:20:13.440 I mean, it's incredible what we don't know and what our government is just not doing anything about.
00:20:20.340 No, and this is not, already back in the 1980s, there was an incident called the Iran-Ajar,
00:20:30.340 where a commercial Iranian aircraft was constant bearing decreasing range at a U.S. Navy ship, and the U.S. Navy ship shot it down.
00:20:40.980 And some months later, the captain of the ship, of that U.S. Navy ship, his wife's car was attacked with a firebomb in California.
00:20:51.820 So this idea that there are not multiple cells and lots of reach, that was already the reality more than 40 years ago.
00:21:00.660 So we're deluding ourselves, and especially after decades of open borders, and I would say an FBI that is really not focused on these kind of threats,
00:21:12.100 actually looking at, you know, angry parents that are angry with the school board, considering them the domestic terrorist threat.
00:21:19.760 And the massive political correct distorted lens that they look through things at is unfortunately going to leave,
00:21:29.120 has left many, many doors open that the bad guys are walking through.
00:21:32.280 You know, I love going to different churches and different faiths, and I was at one this last Sunday,
00:21:38.500 and the pastor said, you know, people say that we're, you know, close to losing our democracy and our rights,
00:21:45.540 and that couldn't be further from the truth.
00:21:48.300 You know, we've been through worse.
00:21:50.540 You understand color revolutions.
00:21:53.400 How close are we to a possible lack of, I think it's going to take a poly crisis, 1.00
00:21:59.620 to topple us and to change us forever?
00:22:02.840 The greatest internal threat that we actually face yet is a collapse of our currency,
00:22:12.540 and between the over-sanctioning, the overuse of sanctions by the Biden administration,
00:22:18.800 and the massive overspending, where you now have interest on the federal debt,
00:22:25.680 that cost per year exceeding that of the defense budget,
00:22:28.740 when you have that kind of damage from inflation and monetary collapse,
00:22:36.000 like you suffered in, like the Weimar Republic did in 1920s Germany,
00:22:41.820 that's the kind of thing we need to watch out for,
00:22:45.500 which is why we need to get our house in order.
00:22:47.780 I'm really with Elon Musk on this.
00:22:50.200 80% of federal bureaucracy really can go away.
00:22:54.920 Close it down, massive headcount reduction,
00:22:58.180 because the fact is, even in the D.C. area already,
00:23:01.480 70% of the bureaucrats are still telecommuting.
00:23:04.680 They're not even going to their office five days a week.
00:23:07.960 That is absolutely ridiculous,
00:23:10.620 and it shows really how useless and how little actual productive work
00:23:16.000 is being done by federal bureaucrats.
00:23:18.000 Let me ask you, I had a guy come up to me and say,
00:23:20.580 Glenn, I told my wife that we can't travel,
00:23:24.420 we want to be where we want to be with our family,
00:23:28.220 and we're not going anywhere from election day till maybe January 20th.
00:23:33.660 Good advice, bad advice?
00:23:35.060 His wife didn't agree.
00:23:36.140 She said, oh, you're just being too,
00:23:38.020 and he said, you don't know what could happen.
00:23:40.100 The country could spiral into disarray quickly.
00:23:43.960 Good advice or bad advice?
00:23:45.360 I am one that would side with keep on living your life
00:23:51.320 and do not let fear dictate your every next move.
00:23:57.220 So you're saying just stay where you are?
00:24:01.340 Carry on.
00:24:02.220 Carry on.
00:24:03.380 If your business or professional life requires you to travel,
00:24:09.140 you need to keep doing that.
00:24:10.300 I don't think it's a great idea for us to get a bunker mentality to say,
00:24:14.200 well, bad things could happen.
00:24:16.180 Yeah, there's always a lot of bad things can happen,
00:24:18.720 and we have to be reminded of who's in charge,
00:24:25.760 and it's certainly not us.
00:24:29.140 Eric, thank you so much for everything that you do.
00:24:34.060 One last question.
00:24:35.800 You're watching FEMA and the response from the president yesterday
00:24:40.940 where he was saying this is all disinformation and, you know,
00:24:44.180 Donald Trump and his ilk are lying about what's happening on the ground.
00:24:48.300 Do you have anything on that that you can share?
00:24:52.400 I think whether it's the Secret Service or FEMA or whatever,
00:24:57.920 it is all the same of a real collapse of credibility
00:25:04.580 and utility of so many aspects of the federal government.
00:25:09.460 You know, when you throw money at organizations
00:25:13.580 with never any accountability for continued bad performance,
00:25:19.900 this is what you get,
00:25:21.000 and this is exactly why a real housecleaning,
00:25:25.920 a real culling has to be done 0.50
00:25:27.580 and to bring some accountability back.
00:25:30.240 I think it's a great – it's also a great –
00:25:34.240 in times of great failure like that,
00:25:37.240 it's also positive.
00:25:39.260 You know, my son put a group of guys together,
00:25:43.960 and they went out and they helped in seeing the innovation
00:25:47.620 and the speed of private companies like Starlink
00:25:52.900 or SpaceX doing Starlink,
00:25:54.720 and private charities showing up with the means
00:26:00.260 and the willpower and the get-it-done attitude
00:26:03.340 versus the federal government.
00:26:05.280 It is a great comparison of actually what made America great.
00:26:08.900 Yes.
00:26:09.340 And it's not our federal government.
00:26:10.660 Yeah.
00:26:10.940 I have to tell you, I had so much hope.
00:26:13.660 I was in Asheville a couple of days after the hurricane
00:26:16.280 and watching the individuals and the veterans that came out
00:26:22.260 and everybody's just working together.
00:26:24.600 Nobody asked, you know, are you a Republican or Democrat?
00:26:27.360 They were just getting the job done,
00:26:29.020 and it was America.
00:26:32.280 It was, you know, 9-12-2001
00:26:36.340 when we all just didn't care except about each other.
00:26:40.660 And it gave me so much hope
00:26:42.680 because people have been saying,
00:26:43.680 are we going to come together if there's a bad problem?
00:26:45.580 The answer is yes.
00:26:47.060 The answer is yes.
00:26:48.020 Yes, and the people that know how to get things done
00:26:53.860 are the ones that move to the objective to get it done,
00:26:56.400 and they are constantly impaired
00:26:58.460 by the mealy-mouth bureaucrats' second-guessing,
00:27:03.040 whether it's FAA people trying to, you know,
00:27:07.360 assert their control from 1,000 miles away
00:27:09.800 on where aircraft can fly
00:27:11.340 instead of leaving it to pilot's discretion.
00:27:14.460 Hey, if it's VFR conditions, go get it done
00:27:18.560 and be careful.
00:27:20.520 But move to the objective and solve it,
00:27:23.460 and this one-size-fits-all,
00:27:27.480 federal government-knows-best approach
00:27:29.100 is truly antithetical to whatever built a republic
00:27:32.740 in the first place.
00:27:33.840 Great talking to you, Eric.
00:27:34.640 Thank you so much.
00:27:35.840 Eric Prince, host of Off Leash,
00:27:38.700 former Navy SEAL.
00:27:40.660 You can follow him on Twitter
00:27:43.300 at realericdprince.
00:27:46.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:27:51.040 Stu is taking us through the possibility
00:27:54.860 of a Senate being controlled of the Republicans
00:27:58.060 or by the Democrats again.
00:28:01.260 And remember, Republicans had a 10-seat advantage
00:28:06.120 going into this.
00:28:07.240 Now, can they pull it off to even get 51?
00:28:11.020 We're looking at the leaners, 1.00
00:28:12.620 and we're at 50 seats for the Republicans.
00:28:18.420 50.
00:28:18.960 Just a quick review.
00:28:20.560 It was 38 locked in for Republicans.
00:28:23.060 You have nine that are pretty darn sure,
00:28:24.960 solid ones.
00:28:26.120 Another three that are leaners.
00:28:28.580 That gets you to 50 for Republicans.
00:28:30.220 For Democrats, start with 28. 0.54
00:28:31.780 You have 10 that are pretty solid.
00:28:33.780 Another seven that are leaners.
00:28:35.780 That gets you to 45.
00:28:37.500 So 50 to 45 is where we are right now in the Senate.
00:28:40.120 So Republicans basically have to pick off
00:28:41.800 one of these toss-up races.
00:28:43.820 Okay.
00:28:44.320 These are toss-ups.
00:28:45.480 You'd like to get more than that, though.
00:28:46.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:47.820 So we start with Michigan.
00:28:49.760 That is Mike Rogers and Alyssa Slotkin.
00:28:52.160 Right now, you'd have maybe a slight lead
00:28:55.260 for Democrats in that particular race,
00:28:57.900 though it is very, very close.
00:28:59.580 Could go either way.
00:29:00.360 Ohio, Sherrod Brown, 47 to 43 was sort of the polling average,
00:29:06.440 though the last two polls for Bernie Moreno,
00:29:08.980 the Republican, have shown the race to be much closer than that.
00:29:12.200 And it looks like that one's tightening.
00:29:14.620 Almost never, Glenn, you do get a case
00:29:17.120 where a Republican presidential candidate wins
00:29:19.780 by seven, eight, nine points,
00:29:21.660 which is likely in Ohio,
00:29:23.120 and having the Republican Senate candidate lose.
00:29:26.120 Lose, yeah.
00:29:26.620 It's very uncommon.
00:29:27.500 Like Susan Collins pulled it off once on the other way, 0.87
00:29:30.080 but it is really not a common process.
00:29:32.660 So especially when it's not like a very close race.
00:29:36.380 Right.
00:29:36.580 You know.
00:29:37.140 Then you have Bob Casey versus Dave McCormick.
00:29:39.880 Same story,
00:29:40.820 where Casey has maintained a moderate lead in that race,
00:29:45.140 you know, three or four points for most of the time.
00:29:47.400 Last few polls for McCormick have shown a growth,
00:29:50.040 and it looks like that race is now razor sharp as well,
00:29:53.300 razor thin.
00:29:53.720 Then you have Tammy Baldwin, Eric Hovde in Wisconsin.
00:29:58.120 Same story.
00:29:59.420 Looked like Baldwin has had a lead.
00:30:01.980 Democrats now panicking about that race.
00:30:03.900 Yeah.
00:30:04.220 And it has tightened.
00:30:05.240 All four of those races are largely in the same position, 0.77
00:30:08.760 where you have,
00:30:09.880 it looked like Democrats have had a slight read.
00:30:11.580 They are definitely outperforming Kamala Harris
00:30:14.680 in all of those states.
00:30:17.100 The Democrats are.
00:30:18.240 However, very, very close now,
00:30:20.360 and could go either way.
00:30:21.660 The last race is one I want to draw your attention to,
00:30:24.460 has not had much focus,
00:30:25.680 unless you've been listening,
00:30:26.760 you know, to Studos America,
00:30:27.900 where I've been ranting about it for weeks,
00:30:29.220 because it has been off everybody's radar,
00:30:32.060 and is just seemingly popping up right now.
00:30:34.840 It has not been included in the swing state models
00:30:36.900 for most of the people looking at this.
00:30:40.040 But this is a race in Nebraska.
00:30:42.140 There are two races in Nebraska this time.
00:30:44.120 You have the Ricketts race, 1.00
00:30:45.700 which he's going to win easily.
00:30:47.400 The second one is this Deb Fischer versus Dan Osborne race.
00:30:50.980 What they're doing in this race, Glenn, 0.95
00:30:52.800 is the same thing they tried on Mike Lee in Utah last election,
00:30:57.500 where instead of running a Democrat,
00:30:59.600 they're basically running an independent
00:31:01.140 and acting like he's independent and not a Democrat.
00:31:03.940 That's crazy that that even has a chance of working.
00:31:07.660 More and more common, though.
00:31:08.720 Democrats are trying it in state after state.
00:31:10.160 They're saying,
00:31:10.640 we can't win a Nebraska Senate race.
00:31:12.320 Why would we even try?
00:31:13.600 So they're not even running anybody,
00:31:15.040 and they're just leaving this guy, Dan Osborne,
00:31:17.440 who is kind of a labor guy.
00:31:19.320 He's claiming he's not going to,
00:31:21.140 I'm not going to caucus with either side.
00:31:23.180 Right.
00:31:23.640 If you believe that, you will believe anything.
00:31:25.800 I mean, you will vote with the Democrats every single time.
00:31:28.300 Yeah.
00:31:28.820 And I really think that this race will be safe for Republicans
00:31:33.100 if people in Nebraska are aware of what's going on.
00:31:38.020 So far, every Democratic source is like,
00:31:40.440 we don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:41.520 They're just shrugging their hands.
00:31:42.540 We don't know.
00:31:43.200 This has nothing to do with what we're not talking about this at all.
00:31:45.940 We said if it worked with Mike Lee, it would be everywhere.
00:31:48.900 Everywhere.
00:31:49.400 It didn't work in Utah.
00:31:51.240 Will it work in Nebraska?
00:31:52.460 They're trying.
00:31:53.200 They're trying.
00:31:53.860 Now, what's interesting about this race,
00:31:55.980 and number one, it's in the toss-up category
00:31:58.260 because I want people to be aware of it.
00:32:00.300 You should be freaking out a little bit about this race. 1.00
00:32:02.980 Secondarily, we just don't have any good nonpartisan polling here.
00:32:06.820 It's mostly all internal polling from the Osborne campaign.
00:32:13.040 Organizations that want independent candidates to win,
00:32:16.160 those type of places have tried the polling,
00:32:18.340 and they're showing either a tie or a slight lead for Osborne,
00:32:21.640 the independent.
00:32:23.020 So Fisher, who has not been my favorite Republican over the years,
00:32:26.720 this is one of the people I was hoping that would be primaried
00:32:29.840 in this particular race.
00:32:31.380 However, she's now the candidate,
00:32:33.720 and if you want Democrats to have control of the Senate,
00:32:36.540 you could vote for Osborne.
00:32:38.360 That is the only real decision here.
00:32:40.560 It's just whether you want Democratic control
00:32:42.680 or if you want Republican control.
00:32:44.980 And honestly, it is a really important race,
00:32:48.280 and it is still in the toss-up category
00:32:49.820 until we see some information that convinces me otherwise.
00:32:52.420 Okay.
00:32:53.380 Let me take you to someplace entirely different.
00:32:56.760 There was an interview with Donald Trump,
00:33:00.140 which I think is the best interview I've ever seen Donald Trump in,
00:33:04.240 because this group of comedians led by Andrew Schultz
00:33:08.440 on the podcast called Flagrant has cracked the code
00:33:12.260 to the point to where one of them reaches over
00:33:15.820 and puts his hand on Don's knee and says,
00:33:18.660 stay focused, stay focused, and he laughs about it.
00:33:23.800 I mean, it's a great interview,
00:33:25.800 and they did something that I've never seen,
00:33:28.940 and they also brought out things that I have been wanting
00:33:33.200 for the president to talk about,
00:33:35.200 and they're the only ones that I have seen do it.
00:33:37.840 If you're going to recommend to somebody
00:33:39.280 that they watch a podcast interview with Donald Trump,
00:33:42.520 this is the one.
00:33:44.060 I rarely learn things of what to do
00:33:48.760 from people who give interviews.
00:33:50.820 I usually learn things like, wow, don't do that.
00:33:55.120 I learned so much on how to interview somebody
00:33:57.980 from this podcast.
00:33:59.720 It is absolutely fantastic.
00:34:01.780 I only have time to give you a couple of things,
00:34:03.720 but it goes to the character of Donald Trump.
00:34:06.340 Here's the first one on Donald Trump's assassination attempt
00:34:10.320 when he was down on the ground.
00:34:13.400 Cut 12.
00:34:13.820 I'm good with names, you know.
00:34:14.820 You are.
00:34:15.900 Cut 12.
00:34:16.380 When I got up, he said, let me finish my speech,
00:34:20.180 but I'm surrounded by like eight very large men
00:34:23.380 and a very wonderful woman.
00:34:25.800 You saw that.
00:34:26.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:27.380 But I'm surrounded by guys.
00:34:28.940 They said, sir, no way to go,
00:34:30.760 and I have blood pouring down,
00:34:31.880 but I really wanted to finish my speech.
00:34:34.160 He said, I think I had like 50,000.
00:34:36.620 I had a lot of people there.
00:34:38.020 Yeah, yeah.
00:34:38.620 And, you know, when I went down,
00:34:40.000 I was sort of like embarrassed.
00:34:41.660 I said, I went down in front of all these people.
00:34:44.560 You know, that was my first thing.
00:34:45.760 I don't want to be embarrassed.
00:34:47.340 You were embarrassed that you went down after being shot.
00:34:49.200 Yeah, of course.
00:34:49.880 Well, you weren't exactly sure
00:34:51.040 what the hell was happening at first, you know.
00:34:52.840 But also, you came back up with a fist right.
00:34:54.740 I guess that's one of the hardest pictures.
00:34:56.920 Okay.
00:34:58.280 That should tell you everything you need to know
00:35:00.640 on why Donald Trump is not vulnerable.
00:35:06.520 The guy was shot and embarrassed that he went to the ground.
00:35:12.140 That's what he's taught to do.
00:35:15.280 You know, the red, white, and blue little banner
00:35:16.900 in front of the podium?
00:35:18.120 That's Kevlar.
00:35:19.640 Okay.
00:35:20.220 You are told if you hear shots,
00:35:23.680 if you hear shots,
00:35:25.120 not be grazed by one,
00:35:26.620 if you hear them,
00:35:27.980 get on the ground behind that Kevlar ribbon.
00:35:31.940 And that's what he did.
00:35:33.100 He was embarrassed by that.
00:35:35.220 Tells you something about his character.
00:35:38.140 Also tells you about how he views the presidency
00:35:42.520 and standing up and not being afraid.
00:35:48.560 Now, this one is really important.
00:35:52.160 They start by talking about him as a dad,
00:35:55.760 how his kids are really together.
00:35:57.820 And what did you do as a dad?
00:36:00.220 You have to be incredible.
00:36:02.640 Listen to how he answers this question.
00:36:04.700 You know, he's taken a lot
00:36:06.720 because he was always a good student.
00:36:09.660 He went to the Wharton School of Finance,
00:36:12.020 which is great, and he did well.
00:36:13.740 But he went into the world of politics
00:36:16.840 not because he wanted to,
00:36:18.680 but because I was there
00:36:19.800 and I sort of automatically,
00:36:21.720 you drag the family in. 0.81
00:36:24.020 And this guy,
00:36:25.060 what he had to go through
00:36:26.060 with Russia, Russia, Russia,
00:36:27.520 because he did.
00:36:28.420 They're asking me questions about Russia.
00:36:30.000 I don't know anything about Russia.
00:36:31.200 What's going on?
00:36:32.140 And all of a sudden,
00:36:32.800 he's in front of grand juries.
00:36:34.000 He's in front of Congress.
00:36:36.020 It was a hoax.
00:36:37.020 It was a total hoax.
00:36:37.960 This was a made-up hoax
00:36:39.180 by crazy Nancy Pelosi
00:36:40.960 and these, you know, the maniacs.
00:36:42.980 Hillary Clinton, who's totally nuts. 1.00
00:36:46.140 And this went on for two years.
00:36:48.760 And he said,
00:36:49.320 Dad, I know nothing about this stuff.
00:36:50.880 And he'd go before the grand jury.
00:36:52.640 And, you know, Comey.
00:36:54.600 You have Comey,
00:36:55.320 who's the worst,
00:36:56.360 just a bad guy.
00:36:57.440 But he went through a lot
00:37:00.300 and it actually made him tougher.
00:37:02.860 I don't know if that's good or bad,
00:37:04.400 but he's a tough cookie, that one.
00:37:06.660 And it made, in his case,
00:37:08.260 it made him tougher.
00:37:10.740 Ivanka did a great job.
00:37:11.980 She didn't want anything.
00:37:12.920 All she wanted to do
00:37:13.740 is get people jobs.
00:37:15.360 I would have made her
00:37:16.100 the ambassador to the U.N.
00:37:17.480 I wanted to do that.
00:37:18.400 I think she would have been incredible,
00:37:19.560 the whole aura.
00:37:21.380 She would have been great,
00:37:22.400 but she didn't want that. 0.77
00:37:23.240 She didn't,
00:37:23.840 and that would have been
00:37:24.480 a very glamorous position.
00:37:26.300 She would have been great there. 0.95
00:37:28.000 All she did
00:37:28.900 is go to see companies
00:37:30.080 and hire people.
00:37:31.300 She wanted,
00:37:31.920 and she hired,
00:37:32.700 I think it was like 10 million people,
00:37:34.440 some incredible amount of people.
00:37:36.400 She'd go to Walmart,
00:37:37.500 she'd go to Exxon,
00:37:38.420 she'd go to these big companies
00:37:39.580 and see if she could get
00:37:41.420 groups of people hired.
00:37:42.780 And she loved doing it.
00:37:44.120 It was great.
00:37:44.580 There was no glamour,
00:37:46.280 there was no anything,
00:37:47.180 but she got people jobs. 1.00
00:37:49.080 So he goes through this whole thing.
00:37:51.060 He starts with,
00:37:52.200 I have five amazing children.
00:37:54.940 Now they just said,
00:37:55.840 what did you do as a father?
00:37:57.960 He spends the entire time,
00:38:00.660 he doesn't mention him one time,
00:38:03.920 not once.
00:38:04.760 He doesn't take credit for his children.
00:38:08.160 He spends three,
00:38:09.840 three and a half minutes
00:38:10.700 just talking about his amazing children.
00:38:13.980 Now,
00:38:14.580 when is the last time
00:38:16.240 someone gave him a compliment,
00:38:19.940 said,
00:38:20.720 you know,
00:38:21.780 the Trump organization,
00:38:22.980 or you just did some miracle stuff,
00:38:25.860 when's the last time
00:38:27.600 you ever heard him
00:38:29.120 give credit,
00:38:32.360 all of it,
00:38:33.380 away
00:38:33.700 and just talk about
00:38:35.420 the amazing people involved?
00:38:37.900 I've heard him do it
00:38:39.180 two times now.
00:38:41.020 One,
00:38:41.900 generally speaking,
00:38:42.840 of the American people
00:38:44.000 and now with his kids,
00:38:47.020 everybody looks at Donald Trump
00:38:50.400 and they say,
00:38:51.940 oh,
00:38:52.200 he's arrogant, 0.92
00:38:52.820 he's whatever.
00:38:53.360 And I keep telling you,
00:38:54.380 he's not like that in real life.
00:38:56.740 He's not.
00:38:57.580 He's actually very humble.
00:38:59.460 He's very,
00:39:00.320 very gracious.
00:39:01.880 He is just not the same guy.
00:39:03.680 You don't see that
00:39:05.720 because the man
00:39:07.400 was embarrassed
00:39:08.400 to show the weakness
00:39:10.040 of going down
00:39:11.220 on the ground
00:39:12.420 when he was shot.
00:39:16.560 And when he's talking
00:39:17.940 about his children,
00:39:19.020 the guy who's like,
00:39:19.880 I got my name in the sky,
00:39:21.240 it's big,
00:39:21.880 it's beautiful,
00:39:23.080 Trump,
00:39:23.380 Trump,
00:39:23.740 Trump,
00:39:24.000 Trump,
00:39:24.220 Trump,
00:39:24.480 Trump,
00:39:24.720 Trumpity Trump,
00:39:25.500 Trump,
00:39:25.780 doesn't mention himself.
00:39:30.160 Mentions mom,
00:39:32.040 mentions the kids,
00:39:33.040 but not him.
00:39:37.740 That should tell you,
00:39:39.860 he's got five kids
00:39:41.600 who would walk through
00:39:42.880 and have,
00:39:43.780 walk through walls
00:39:45.120 of fire for him.
00:39:48.140 I don't know about you,
00:39:49.920 but I had a hard time
00:39:51.480 raising my kids.
00:39:53.380 My kids come from a,
00:39:54.900 two of them come from a divorce.
00:39:57.520 I didn't have the relationship
00:39:59.200 that he had with his wife
00:40:01.020 that was divorced. 0.52
00:40:02.000 I didn't co-parent
00:40:04.340 like he did.
00:40:05.200 I tried,
00:40:06.060 but we never mastered it.
00:40:07.720 He did it.
00:40:09.320 His kids will all
00:40:11.040 walk through
00:40:11.740 a wall of fire.
00:40:13.040 None of them are drunks.
00:40:14.900 None of them are drug addicts.
00:40:17.500 None of them seem
00:40:18.900 to be out of control
00:40:20.520 in any way,
00:40:21.760 shape,
00:40:22.060 or form.
00:40:22.600 How did he do that?
00:40:26.760 If he's such an egomaniac
00:40:28.660 that only cares about himself,
00:40:30.580 why do his five children,
00:40:32.960 why are they healthy,
00:40:34.820 generally balanced?
00:40:36.420 I mean,
00:40:36.740 compared to my family,
00:40:38.180 really balanced?
00:40:40.200 How did he do that?
00:40:41.580 If you think
00:40:45.080 he's a monster,
00:40:46.840 you should ask yourself
00:40:48.580 if Hitler 0.89
00:40:49.580 would have had children,
00:40:51.720 would they have been
00:40:52.980 like that?
00:40:53.820 Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. 0.88
