On this episode of Glenn Beck's new show Glenn Beck on Fire, Glenn Beck is joined by special guest Selena Zito and special guest Adam Schiff to discuss gay chicken and fartgate. Glenn and Sarah Palin are joined by a special guest to talk about the upcoming election.
00:00:00.000Hey, welcome to the program today. We spent a lot of time on gay chicken money, also farts.
00:00:07.940Selena Zito was here for a dignified moment about what the next election is probably shaping up.
00:00:13.340You're going to love if you're a supporter of Democrats or Republicans, or you just really don't like socialism, you're going to love what she has to say.
00:00:22.920Santa phoned in also. He was very upset today with Chick-fil-A. Lot going on on today's podcast.
00:00:30.000Okay, imagine your cell phone is a voting booth.
00:00:49.520And every time you use your cell phone, you're voting for impeachment. You're voting for open borders. You're voting for gun confiscation.
00:00:59.220That call to your mother just voted for abortion. That's the way you need to look at this.
00:01:07.200It's a horrible thought, but it's not unrealistic.
00:01:10.280Because this is what you're doing when you spend money with all of the cell phone companies that hate everything you believe in.
00:01:17.640Just to add insult to injury, these cell phone carriers have all kinds of hidden fees, like AT&T's administrative fee.
00:01:26.120You know, the one they're currently getting sued over? What is that?
00:01:29.240Compare that with Patriot Mobile, the only conservative phone company in the nation.
00:01:35.960They not only support your values with no hidden fees, but for a limited time, they're also giving you a free Moto Z3 when you open up a new line.
00:01:43.700A free Moto Z3 when you open a new line.
00:01:46.600The offer is only valid through Cyber Monday when you call 877-367-7524.
00:01:53.240Why not use a carrier who believes in the same things you do and isn't voting with their money?
00:05:15.520But our investigation, it'll go into tens of millions of dollars, and we'll spend about three years on Fartgate as we look into what's in Swalwell's pants, and what did Chris Matthews know, and when did he know it?
00:05:28.360We have Selena Zito on the phone with us.
00:05:52.860She is a reporter and one of the best listeners, I think, in the country.
00:05:59.580She actually is the one who called the last election really spot on, spot on, and I think she's doing it again.
00:06:35.700So I'm reading some of the stuff that you have written recently, and yesterday you have the new phase of the Great Revolt.
00:06:43.720And as I'm reading it last night, I'm gathering that what people did in the congressional and state elections here recently, we should not necessarily take that to mean anything for the presidential election.
00:07:05.200Let's take the Kentucky governor's race for a moment.
00:07:09.480If anybody understood Kentucky or ever went there in the national press, they wouldn't be writing, oh, it's all over because the Republican Kentucky governor lost.
00:07:45.240And governor's races are about being connected to the people, and he did not demonstrate that he was.
00:07:55.700And if you look down-ballot, Republicans not only won hugely, like in the Secretary of State race or the Attorney General race, but also they gained seats in the Senate and in the House.
00:08:11.580So I think that saying, oh, this means Republicans don't want Trump, no.
00:08:18.020It meant that Kentucky voters were unsatisfied with Matt Bevin.
00:08:37.200People who are against Donald Trump are so against him they'll do anything to get him out.
00:08:43.820For those who are really even fence-sitters on Donald Trump, I think they look at this and say, this is not—this doesn't even make sense to me.
00:08:54.500And I think it hardens people on which way they were leaning.
00:09:31.580And I'm going to vote for him because I think the behavior of the Democrats is wrong.
00:09:36.860And I'm finding a lot of that sentiment among Trump skeptics who don't particularly care for his comportment, which, by the way, is probably 70 percent of Trump voters.
00:09:55.020They also understand that you need to be a mean SOB to sort of break up the swamp's behavior and the establishment behavior on both sides to make effective change.
00:10:11.180I will tell you, Selena, I said this—I mean, we talked right after.
00:10:15.900If you want to be effective and actually go against Donald Trump, you can't just throw everything at him.
00:10:28.200They started from the beginning, and it drove people—I mean, when I put the MAGA hat on, I don't know, about a year or two ago, mine was not a full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump because I like many of his policies.
00:10:43.420For instance, side note, Your Honor, just what he did with Israel just yesterday.
00:10:47.740I like many of his policies, but he is so hard to defend because of the way he just is.
00:11:07.500It's a sentiment shared by people, and here's what really always gets under my skin, Glenn, is that the people in my profession don't understand that sentiment.
00:11:20.200Because they live in the super zip codes of this country, and they don't know anyone who thinks or looks or acts the way that people do outside of those super zip codes.
00:11:32.960They control the media, they control entertainment, they control sports, they control corporations, and this populist coalition has been building for over 12 years.
00:12:07.040But not all suburbs are created equal.
00:12:10.560Suburban voter in Erie County, Pennsylvania, or Kenosha, Wisconsin, or Baldwin, Michigan, or Macomb County, Michigan, does not look, act, or behave the same way a suburban voter in Philadelphia or Northern Virginia behaved and votes.
00:12:29.760Those are the voters who are going to make a difference.
00:12:33.180They have the exact same education that their cousins have in Northern Virginia and Philadelphia, but they live among a variety of different viewpoints.
00:12:44.180And they are connected and rooted to community where voters in Northern Virginia are very transient.
00:12:52.620They aren't rooted to their community.
00:12:54.640Community doesn't mean the same thing.
00:12:56.520And voting for Donald Trump is about community and localism.
00:13:00.300And I have to tell you, and I would love to hear you respond to this, Selena.
00:13:04.800As I travel around, I just have this sense that there's a lot of people that would have voted for another candidate that wasn't corrupt and wasn't a hardcore socialist and or even hanging around all the socialists.
00:13:24.360I think there's a lot of people who are Democrats, who are blue-collar, et cetera, et cetera, who may not like Donald Trump but will vote for him because they feel like the Democratic Party has left the building and they have left the insane socialists in charge.
00:13:46.040All you have to do is keep your eye on Western Pennsylvania throughout this whole process.
00:13:50.640Most of the candidates on the Democratic side that are running said they believe in a ban on fracking on day one.
00:13:57.360Well, let me tell you, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, also Texas, Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, these are areas that are thriving because of the shale industry.
00:14:09.480Lives and communities are being changed because they are now prosperous again.
00:14:16.240And so to ban it is to take – how are you going to sort of – it's a binary choice, right?
00:14:22.400I've got Trump, who I like his policies, don't like his personality.
00:14:42.900And a Democrat cannot win Pennsylvania without winning Western Pennsylvania.
00:14:47.120So that's why you have to keep an eye on those areas because that's where those sentiments will be reflected anytime someone visits there.
00:14:58.700And they will understand why Trump – if it was held tomorrow, he would win the election.
00:15:05.040And that's hard for people who live in either the East Coast or the West Coast to understand because they don't know anybody else in the middle.
00:15:18.800The 34 percent of Trump voters in 2016, which right now seems like the Aussie and Harriet Hour era because it seems nicer than it was today.
00:15:30.14034 percent of Trump voters did not tell a family member or a friend that they were voting for him.
00:15:39.040I mean, I can't even – my mind just can't even wrap around how people would – how they're going to approach it now given the intensity of the cancel culture.
00:15:52.300You know, I mean, you say you're going to vote for Trump.
00:15:55.220You have to worry about losing your job or affecting the people that work for you or affecting your family or affecting your social status.
00:16:02.540How is the impeachment affecting all of this?
00:16:08.360If you love Trump on Election Day 2016, you're still optimistic about the future.
00:16:15.600But what about those swing people, the people that are – you know, they don't necessarily like that they are voting for a Republican, let alone Donald Trump.
00:16:28.360What about those people who voted for him last time?
00:16:34.360I have a story coming out about that in the New York Post on Sunday.
00:16:38.360I went back to the people in the book, people that were skeptical, people that had a hard time, you know, and people who supported him outright but had reservations.
00:26:22.860And sometimes when you hit that age that starts with a one and then has a two after it and then there's like a three or four after that, things are hard to control.
