00:00:00.000 We made a promise to ourselves, I don't know, eight years ago, that we were not going to, six years ago, that we were not going to push our will.
00:00:12.720 Let people decide. Give them the facts. Let people decide and support the people, right?
00:00:18.400 Are we doing that this time? I mean, because I think so, aren't we?
00:00:23.740 I mean, I don't care who people vote for as long as it's a Republican that I like.
00:00:31.020 No, I mean, yeah, I mean, maybe not in like the Utah race.
00:00:36.060 I probably haven't been too balanced on that one.
00:00:38.980 I mean, I think we're talking. I mean, I think what we've said is control needs to go to the Republicans to stop what Biden did.
00:00:47.280 Right. Like, I wouldn't vote for Oz if I lived in Pennsylvania. It's easy for me to say I wouldn't vote for Oz.
00:00:54.600 But if I were in Pennsylvania, I probably would vote for Oz. You know what I mean? 0.91
00:00:59.820 He's not my favorite, but I'm living in Pennsylvania. What the hell am I going to do?
00:01:03.880 Yeah, I vote for him. I vote for him. I'm just wondering if we're staying true to ourselves.
00:01:10.320 Yeah, I mean, I don't advise anybody how to vote for him.
00:01:15.420 Yeah, I don't think I do either.
00:01:17.540 I mean, I think we say Mike Lee's clear. Like, why isn't Mike Lee winning by Moore?
00:01:22.260 Yeah.
00:01:22.480 Right? Like that type of stuff. But I don't think we say you should go out and vote for X, Y, or Z all that often.
00:01:28.140 Yeah, I was going to say all that often because, I mean, I have been known to say you're dead to me if you don't vote for Mike Lee.
00:01:34.680 Yes.
00:01:35.000 I mean, if you have the best candidate on the Constitution, perhaps ever, the guy who should be running the Supreme Court, and you're going to vote him out for a CIA agent, you're dead to me.
00:01:51.560 You're dead to me.
00:01:52.420 But other than that, we never are judgmental in any way.
00:01:55.660 Although you're sick. You're pretty sick if you're voting for Federman.
00:01:59.600 You know, you're not dead to me, but you're pretty sick. And Walker. And Masters.
00:02:04.980 Just vote. You know what? Send us your ballots. We'll fill them out for you.
00:02:09.340 Don't say that.
00:02:10.120 No, don't say that.
00:02:10.560 They will use that.
00:02:12.300 Don't do that.

00:03:14.340 Here's the podcast.
00:03:14.860 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:26.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:31.400 We're going to tell you good news, bad news, iffy news on the polls in just a second.
00:03:38.080 Stand by.
00:03:38.460 First, I want to read this story from The Washington Post because I think this relates in America in a completely different way.
00:03:48.320 Since 1979, I got on the air.
00:03:50.800 My first radio job was 1978 or 79 and the Iranian hostage crisis.
00:03:59.180 I've been talking about Iran my whole life, but I've never related to it as much as I have this story.
00:04:06.580 Listen to this.
00:04:07.280 Across Iran, schoolgirls have defiantly taken off their headscarves, stomped on pictures of the supreme leader, and chanted for freedom, producing some of the most iconic images from the country's anti-government uprising.
00:04:20.600 But now the state is coming for them.
00:04:23.540 If you have kids, listen to this.
00:04:25.420 Many families fear sending their children to school, afraid they could be surveilled, beaten, detained, or disappeared.
00:04:36.180 Rights groups and Iranians told The Washington Post Iran's clerical leaders are betting the crackdown on schools will help quell the unrest, now in its seventh week.
00:04:47.360 In interviews with The Washington Post in recent weeks, three students and two parents described the assaults on schools where teachers are under pressure to squash any sign of dissent and often powerless to stop security forces from targeting the minors in their care.
00:05:05.160 School attendance lists, report cards, and security cameras have become tools of repression.
00:05:13.460 Parents are warned to keep their children in check.
00:05:17.360 Now, just as anyone else thought, geez, I mean, they're indoctrinating my kids.
00:05:24.680 What if they turn my kids against me?
00:05:28.120 Have you thought about what's being done to my kids and the teachers?
00:05:32.260 And I'm now being called a terrorist because I disagree with what my school is teaching.
00:05:39.200 We are on this path, gang.
00:05:42.060 Listen to this.
00:05:43.060 Iranians interviewed for this piece spoke in condition of amenity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:47.360 We are now all in shock and sadness and don't have the energy to do anything.
00:05:52.500 A 12-year-old boy in Tehran said after plainclothes police raided his school this month to arrest a fellow student.
00:06:02.380 He said he joined his classmates and teachers in physically intervening to stop the adoption.
00:06:07.820 Authorities refused to say how many children they've arrested.
00:06:12.960 But a deputy with the Revolutionary Guard Corps on October 5th said the average age for rioters arrested was 15.
00:06:23.160 Iranian education minister said October 11th that an undisclosed number of kids were being held, quote,
00:06:30.320 in psychology centers for reform and education.
00:06:34.200 At least 700 teenagers have been detained.
00:06:40.800 We don't know where they're taking these children or what's happening to them.
00:06:44.780 In some cases, these children are being beaten and then taken away by plainclothes police.
00:06:50.180 This has got to stop.
00:06:56.520 This has got to stop.
00:06:59.400 We have got to stand up for freedom.
00:07:03.860 We have to stand up.
00:07:05.940 I mean, why is Iran doing this? 0.99
00:07:10.200 Why are we on high alert?
00:07:12.280 Did you know this?
00:07:12.900 It's the U.S. and Saudi militaries on high alert because we've just had an intelligence warning of an imminent attack from Iran.
00:07:22.680 This administration has been negotiating with them.
00:07:25.720 This administration has just pissed off Saudi Arabia.
00:07:29.320 And now the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are on high alert because Iran says they're going to attack.
00:07:35.620 And what are they doing that for?
00:07:40.620 To get the news to stop covering what they're doing to children in schools.
00:07:45.680 Wake up, America.
00:07:47.500 Now, the good news is I think we are waking up.
00:07:51.140 And next Tuesday is the day we can begin to end the madness.
00:07:57.940 Yeah, and things are trending in the right direction.
00:08:00.620 The House looks, I wouldn't call it a sure thing, but it looks really, really positive.
00:08:06.260 Not too much doubt there.
00:08:07.660 Most even mainstream election analysts are going to tell you that Republicans are probably going to take the House.
00:08:13.240 That's a big step, right?
00:08:14.820 Taking that makes you able to stop the worst instincts of the Biden administration right off the bat.
00:08:20.500 Now, to do more than that, especially when it comes to just judges and such, you need the Senate.
00:08:26.480 So you need that Senate. 0.98
00:08:27.520 You need to get to 51 seats.
00:08:29.180 It's the issue here, of course, you know, which is different than the House, where the House has everybody up for election, 435 members every two years.
00:08:37.240 You start 0-0.
00:08:39.300 That's the state of play.
00:08:41.480 With the Senate, not everyone is up.
00:08:44.140 It's six-year terms.
00:08:45.140 So every midterm election has a different number of senators available to be elected.
00:08:49.640 So this one starts with a score on the board with, if no one else got elected at all, it would be standing at Democrats 36, Republicans 29.
00:08:59.580 So Republicans start minus seven.
00:09:01.940 And this is why this isn't such a home run.
00:09:04.200 It feels like, okay, Republicans are way ahead.
00:09:07.020 It's a midterm election.
00:09:08.040 Biden's obviously terrible.
00:09:09.400 Why is this so difficult?
00:09:10.580 That's why it's difficult.
00:09:11.580 They're starting down 36-29.
00:09:13.440 So they have to make up seven seats just to get to even.
00:09:17.260 So if we look at the likely states for the Democrats, you have California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New York, that's Chuck Schumer, Oregon, Vermont, and Connecticut.
00:09:30.160 Now, Connecticut, there's been some polling that showed it close.
00:09:33.540 We kind of moved it to a lean Democrat for a while.
00:09:35.560 I have it back as a likely Democratic state.
00:09:37.780 We had six movers in the entire board yesterday as we finished this up.
00:09:44.240 So Connecticut, likely, that gives you eight likely Democrats.
00:09:47.160 On the Republican side, you have likely Republicans of Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky.
00:09:55.560 It's Rand Paul, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tim Scott there, South Dakota, North Dakota, two in Oklahoma because you have a special election.
00:10:03.980 So you have two seats there, Missouri, Eric Schmidt.
00:10:07.620 We've talked about him before.
00:10:08.680 I have moved that to likely Republican from leaning earlier in the cycle.
00:10:12.580 We also moved Iowa from lean Republican to likely Republican.
00:10:18.220 That one looked likely at the beginning.
00:10:20.520 There was some polling showing it a little close.
00:10:22.380 We talked to Steve Dace about that last week, but I'm pretty convinced that that one is okay.
00:10:26.760 That's likely.
00:10:27.500 And then also for the first time moved to the likely Republican category, Florida with Marco Rubio.
00:10:32.460 Again, Rubio was underperforming DeSantis earlier in the cycle.
00:10:36.000 Seems to have closed that gap and now holds a pretty substantial lead.
00:10:39.240 That gives you 15, 15 likely Republicans.
00:10:43.520 Just doing the math right there, right?
00:10:45.500 You're at 44, 44.
00:10:47.740 Oh, geez.
00:10:48.500 Okay.
00:10:48.740 And that's, you know, likely to Glenn, you know, how long have we been doing this?
00:10:54.160 You know, a million years now.
00:10:55.180 And in the likely category, I've never missed, never missed a race.
00:11:02.020 These are sure things.
00:11:03.520 For the most part, you may have a surprise eventually, but I've never missed one of those before.
00:11:07.420 We'll see.
00:11:08.020 So that's 44, 44.
00:11:10.400 You can see how this can get a little, you know, a little itchy here.
00:11:13.760 Okay, so lean Democrat.
00:11:15.700 I still have two.
00:11:17.360 Some people are more optimistic than me or thinking he's going to turn to the Republicans.
00:11:20.480 I still have these two as lean Democrat, which are Colorado and Washington.
00:11:24.480 Both of those states are theoretically winnable for Republicans.
00:11:27.460 It's not out of the question.
00:11:29.160 A lot of polls, there are some polls showing it very close.
00:11:31.460 In fact, there was one that showed Washington within two points just yesterday.
00:11:35.340 So possible that this could happen for Republicans, but difficult and I think still a little bit of a stretch even in this environment right now.
00:11:44.160 I'd love to hear from people who live in Seattle that can tell me what it feels like because my friends in Seattle tell me they've never felt anything like this before.
00:11:54.420 That the momentum, the attitude is towards the Republican.
00:12:05.360 Smiley, right?
00:12:06.800 And they are shocked by how clearly it's being demonstrated in the Seattle area.
00:12:13.640 I don't know if that's true or not.
00:12:15.320 It could be.
00:12:15.780 And I think she's making this much more competitive than it would normally be.
00:12:19.780 Oh, yeah.
00:12:20.080 Yeah, that's that's the way I mean, it is a surprise that these things but, you know, Republicans do occasionally win statewide races in, you know, Washington Washington or very competitive.
00:12:29.380 Yeah, there's every once in a while you get this and it seems like Tiffany Smiley's the candidate to keep it close. 0.76
00:12:33.880 But you've got a sort of a blue climate there.
00:12:37.800 Sort of.
00:12:38.580 Yeah.
00:12:39.520 Certainly call it indigo.
00:12:41.380 Indigo.
00:12:41.780 OK, yeah.
00:12:42.900 Very, very blue.
00:12:43.680 And you you have, you know, some circumstances on the ground that would make you believe, you know, in the polling, in the sort of fundamentals of the state.
00:12:53.060 It's still a lean Democratic situation, though.
00:12:55.700 It's much closer than anyone would have expected.
00:12:57.660 I mean, when we started this, I think Washington was a likely Democrat, but we moved it to lean.
00:13:02.140 So that's two there in the lean Democratic category.
00:13:04.380 In lean Republican category.
00:13:05.740 We have Alaska.
00:13:07.400 Now, Alaska is a little weird because that will definitely be a Republican state.
00:13:10.520 The question is whether it's going to be a moderate Democrat Republican like Lisa Murkowski or a Trump endorsed Republican.
00:13:17.980 So you have that that battle going on there.
00:13:19.860 One of the two will win there.
00:13:21.420 I'm of the belief that like you got to prove to me that Murkowski can be get beaten in Alaska.
00:13:25.780 She seems to win no matter what the circumstances.
00:13:28.560 So I will believe that one when I see it.
00:13:31.340 I would love to see her gone, though.
00:13:32.940 This would be a good thing.
00:13:34.100 Utah.
00:13:34.660 We've talked quite a bit about Utah.
00:13:36.140 Again, I think Mike Lee is going to win that state, but it is a quirky, weird state with a sort of false independent candidate going up there and getting Democratic votes.
00:13:47.120 Tomorrow's Thursday, right?
00:13:49.120 Yes.
00:13:49.640 I'm going to be in Salt Lake tomorrow.
00:13:51.620 You're coming with me, aren't you?
00:13:52.760 I don't know.
00:13:53.780 I have.
00:13:54.220 Oh, my God.
00:13:54.660 I've got shows and stuff I've got to do.
00:13:56.820 I'm sorry.
00:13:57.700 I don't know that I could just leave.
00:13:59.120 But I'm going to go to Salt Lake.
00:14:02.600 He's doing a big rally tomorrow night, so I'm going to go and support and then fly right back and do the show.
00:14:11.680 Good.
00:14:12.100 Don't screw it up because he needs to win.
00:14:13.760 God, I know.
00:14:14.560 Also, leaning Republican, Wisconsin, which was razor thin edge for Ron Johnson earlier in the cycle.
00:14:21.700 Now he's opened up a moderate lead there.
00:14:23.720 Ohio with J.D. Vance.
00:14:25.040 Same story.
00:14:26.380 North, excuse me, North Carolina with Ted Budd.
00:14:30.120 Georgia, I now have as lean Republican.
00:14:32.360 Seems like Herschel Walker has weathered this storm.
00:14:34.800 Do you know that Warnock has spent $85 million?
00:14:39.240 That is like the most presidential kind of money.
00:14:42.860 It's one of the, if it's not the most, it is.
00:14:44.880 It is the most expensive.
00:14:45.940 It is now into presidential kind of candidate territory.
00:14:51.280 So Georgia and I have lean Republican.
00:14:52.960 Again, these are very close races.
00:14:54.440 And I would say the data doesn't quite support this yet, but I moved Pennsylvania also to lean Republican.
00:15:00.380 Did you really?
00:15:01.360 And I think that I will say it's a little bit of speculation.
00:15:04.980 This is not my final update on this thing.
00:15:06.500 So we will, I may wind up moving it.
00:15:08.680 We're going to have to pick one eventually on the last update.
00:15:10.760 I guess I can't keep them in toss up forever.
00:15:12.280 But Pennsylvania there, I think, I think we've seen enough for the people of Pennsylvania to say that John Fetterman's not the candidate.
00:15:21.500 We will see, though.
00:15:22.580 And they also, also yesterday, the Supreme Court said you can't, if there's a signature problem on those, those ballots.
00:15:30.940 Yeah.
00:15:31.120 No, no, the, you know, the date's wrong or not on there.
00:15:34.740 You cannot count them.
00:15:35.960 Yeah.
00:15:36.060 That could be big.
00:15:36.980 And that's big.
00:15:37.520 It's going to be lengthy afterward.
00:15:39.660 Then you have three toss up races.
00:15:41.480 You have Arizona, which interesting thing happened yesterday, Glenn.
00:15:45.540 Yeah, this is big.
00:15:46.620 The libertarian candidate dropped out of the race and endorsed Blake Masters.
00:15:51.020 Right.
00:15:51.580 It's pretty important.
00:15:52.240 If the libertarians will vote for Blake Masters, and they should, the guy is very libertarian, but if that could give him the extra push over the top, just a close race, it could be very close.
00:16:05.900 Nevada, I have as a toss up as well.
00:16:07.400 This is an interesting one in that there's a couple of polls out today that have Laxalt up five.
00:16:11.080 Right.
00:16:11.480 Which is really good news.
00:16:12.620 Really good news.
00:16:13.860 Every, you know, there's still polls that come coming out having Cortez Masto up as well, though.
00:16:17.640 So that one's a toss up.
00:16:18.660 And we moved New Hampshire into a toss up for the first time.
00:16:25.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:32.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:34.720 Tomorrow after the program, I'm going to quickly fly out to Washington, Utah and be with Mike Lee at the dance hall.
00:16:44.200 I've never been to the dance hall, but I guess that's where you do things in Washington, Utah.
00:16:51.580 So I'll I'll be there.
00:16:52.680 It's right down from the honeymoon trail in.
00:16:55.560 Oh, really?
00:16:56.120 Yeah.
00:16:56.640 Yeah.
00:16:57.640 So you find out more.
00:16:59.500 Just go to Mike Lee for Senate dot com.
00:17:02.280 Find out more and I'll see you there tomorrow night and then back here again on Friday.
00:17:06.040 All right.
00:17:07.900 We have a we have the very first woman to ever be born in Mexico as as a congresswoman now or would like to be a congresswoman. 0.94
00:17:19.420 She no, no, no.
00:17:20.560 She already represents the 34th congressional district.
00:17:22.840 Sorry.
00:17:23.980 And she's in her first term.
00:17:26.320 She has she's on the House Agricultural Homeland Security committees. 0.88
00:17:33.700 And I wanted to talk to her a little bit about the red migration that is happening with the Hispanic community.
00:17:41.400 It's real.
00:17:42.440 And I'd like to understand more about it.
00:17:45.020 Myra Flores is with us.
00:17:46.320 Hello, congresswoman. 0.99
00:17:48.660 Hello.
00:17:49.260 How are you?
00:17:49.800 Good morning.
00:17:50.400 Thank you so much for having me.
00:17:51.700 You bet.
00:17:52.240 You bet.
00:17:52.600 So you were just rejected by the Hispanic caucus, if I'm not mistaken.
00:18:00.380 That's right.
00:18:01.080 I guess I'm not the right tackle, you know, for them.
00:18:04.860 Not the right Hispanic, apparently. 1.00
00:18:08.100 Not the right.
00:18:09.420 Apparently, that's right.
00:18:10.480 I'm the first Mexican born congresswoman, you know, ever to serve the U.S. House of Representatives.
00:18:15.740 And I thought that by joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, we could, you know, build relationships and work in a bipartisan manner on our on our behalf of our constituents.
00:18:26.900 And I was wrong.
00:18:28.280 Yeah.
00:18:28.740 Yeah.
00:18:29.700 So tell me what tell me what's happening in the Hispanic community.
00:18:34.940 And is it real?
00:18:36.940 It's very real.
00:18:40.340 And South Texas and the Hispanic community, we've always been all about God and family and hard work.
00:18:47.240 That is just who we are.
00:18:48.500 It's in our in our DNA.
00:18:50.500 But we we grew up being told by, you know, the Democrat Party that the Republican Party didn't want people that look like us here.
00:19:01.260 That the Republican Party was for the rich.
00:19:04.060 That the Republican Party was for the only white people.
00:19:08.880 That's what we were told all our lives, which was a complete lie.
00:19:13.720 You know, my father was a Democrat all his life as well.
00:19:16.860 I still remember asking him, who should I vote for?
00:19:19.640 And he said, Barack Obama.
00:19:21.360 And I voted for Barack Obama because that's what I was told to do.
00:19:25.060 So and thank God I had another family member who brought it up to my attention and said, hey, we were raised the same way with conservative values.
00:19:33.400 Why are you voting this way?
00:19:35.640 Make do some research and come back to me.
00:19:38.240 And I did.
00:19:38.880 I made that research and I came back to her and I said, I'm Republican.
00:19:42.600 And that was back in 2010.
00:19:46.600 I was like, oh, my goodness, I'm Republican.
00:19:48.880 Went to my father and I told him the same thing.
00:19:51.100 I said, Dad, we're Republican.
00:19:52.700 And he, of course, he was like, no, you're wrong.
00:19:56.100 I've always been a Democrat.
00:19:58.120 And it took him a long time to realize.
00:20:01.460 But now he's of course, he's a Republican now.
00:20:05.260 And he tells me all the time, you know, don't be loyal to political parties like I was.
00:20:10.440 Amen.
00:20:10.540 Your loyalty needs to be with God, with your family and with your community that you represent.
00:20:17.400 Don't make that mistake that I made.
00:20:19.860 So in 30 years from now, the Republican Party no longer stands with the values that I instilled in you.
00:20:25.520 Don't support the party.
00:20:27.160 Right.
00:20:27.640 You know, be all about your faith and family.
00:20:30.020 And that was my advice to my father's advice to me when I told him that I was going to be running for Congress and that I was going to be in the Republican ballot.
00:20:41.560 So, Myra, what specifically is happening, though?
00:20:47.420 I mean, it's the same thing with African-Americans. 0.94
00:20:50.240 They're really very conservative.
00:20:53.260 Their churches are conservative, everything else.
00:20:55.380 And yet they don't they don't wake up to that or they don't vote that way.
00:21:02.680 Why is the Hispanic community waking up this time? 1.00
00:21:07.000 Well, the Republican Party is also investing.
00:21:10.540 You know, prior to 2020, the Republican Party was not investing in South Texas.
00:21:16.340 We did not have the funds to be able to spread our conservative message.
00:21:20.300 You know, I was the first Republican congressional candidate to run Spanish commercials in South Texas.
00:21:27.520 Wow.
00:21:28.240 So for the first time, they were seeing someone, you know, that looked like them, that resonated with them in Telemundo, in Univision, which is very important because if we don't do it, they will spread the misinformation.
00:21:40.020 So, you know, I'm very blessed and I'm very grateful to the Republican Party for finally investing in the Hispanic community, a community that you don't have to convince to be pro-God, to be pro-life, to be pro-family.
00:21:56.640 Like this, you know, this is who we are.
00:21:59.820 We align with the Republican Party, you know, but the Republican Party also was not investing prior to 2020.
00:22:07.880 Now they're investing, so now we're able to send mailers, you know, in Spanish and English.
00:22:14.380 We're on TV, we're knocking doors, we're raising the funds to be able to do those things.
00:22:20.220 And before, we just did not have those funds.
00:22:23.880 And that's also one of the main reasons as well.
00:22:27.560 You know, it's a component of many things.
00:22:29.460 Congresswoman, can you talk a little bit about your race?
00:22:33.660 Because you won in a special election here recently in a race that surprised a lot of people, seemingly nationally.
00:22:41.040 And then now you're running to be re-elected.
00:22:44.660 However, the district has been, has changed.
00:22:47.320 And it's, from all reports, made your re-election more difficult.
00:22:52.320 Can you talk about that and how the race looks?
00:22:54.440 Yes, you know, redistricting did me no, no favors.
00:23:00.200 And, but at the end of the day, South Texas, you know, Cameron County, Hidalgo County,
00:23:07.500 Labor County, Willoughsey, Kennedy, those counties, I had them in the previous, previous map.
00:23:15.000 And I continue to have them on the new map.
00:23:17.100 And these districts are, you know, who have been dictating, who, you know, who were representing them.
00:23:25.200 I was able to flip Cameron County on the special election, which is my biggest county and is still within the current map.
00:23:33.380 And again, the Hispanic community is very conservative.
00:23:37.600 The people of South Texas, that doesn't change.
00:23:39.580 The lines don't change that.
00:23:42.200 The lines don't change the valleys of South Texas.
00:23:45.280 So I'm, I have all the love and support from, from the district in such small time.
00:23:52.200 They've been able to see what real leadership looks like.
00:23:55.380 So we're, we're talking to Congresswoman Maya Flores.
00:23:58.840 What is the, what are the main issues that you think this is going to be won or lost on?
00:24:05.660 Well, all our polls, multiple polls that we've done is the economy, is inflation and is border security.
00:24:12.660 Those are the things that matter to my district.
00:24:16.220 Those are the things that I'm 100% focused on.
00:24:19.240 I met a single mom who told me that for the first time she had to get a loan to buy her kids school supplies and clothes.
00:24:27.420 Oh my gosh.
00:24:28.180 Oh my gosh.
00:24:28.580 And that loan is now at 24%.
00:24:31.380 Oh my.
00:24:32.340 And can't, and can't pay back.
00:24:34.580 She's like, I don't know if I can be able to pay back that loan.
00:24:37.940 And these are the things that are happening to the American people.
00:24:41.960 These are the struggles.
00:24:43.800 You see, the Democrat party wants us to focus on social issues to distract us from what really is impacting the American people.
00:24:51.940 We want people to go vote on the economy.
00:24:54.580 We want people to go vote on inflation.
00:24:57.000 We want people to go vote on border security.
00:25:00.140 See, the Democrat party doesn't want that because they're losing.
00:25:04.700 But they, they would say that we're racist.
00:25:08.340 You're racist against Hispanics.
00:25:10.380 If you want border security.
00:25:13.460 I immigrated to this country.
00:25:16.100 I want more little girls like Myra to be able to come here to the United States. 1.00
00:25:20.880 I don't want little girls like myself to have to come here illegally where they're going to get abused, rape, and having to pay criminal organizations thousands of dollars. 1.00
00:25:32.840 Because that's the reality.
00:25:34.220 Under this administration, more immigrants have died.
00:25:39.020 If this administration actually cared about immigrants, they would focus on the legal process.
00:25:45.000 How can we encourage people to come here to the United States legally? 1.00
00:25:49.940 The process is broken.
00:25:52.820 It is.
00:25:53.400 I was blessed to have a father that was an American citizen.
00:25:57.520 But if for anyone else, it could take 10, 15, 20 years.
00:26:01.960 No one talks about the people that are in line right now waiting to come here to the United States legally.
00:26:06.840 No one talks about them.
00:26:08.160 What about them?
00:26:09.760 What about those who are following the law and are there waiting right now as we speak, waiting to come here to the United States and have been waiting for years?
00:26:18.400 What about them?
00:26:19.940 No one talks about them.
00:26:23.000 They want to focus on illegal immigration, knowing the dangers, knowing that the criminal organizations have taken complete control of the southern border.
00:26:32.480 People here in South Texas, we have family in Mexico that we can't even visit as often because we're afraid.
00:26:40.640 Why would we want when we're afraid to come here?
00:26:43.660 We don't want no American to ever feel afraid to go visit their loved ones.
00:26:48.380 That's what we're going through here in South Texas.
00:26:51.040 My family still live in Burgos, Tamaulipas, where I'm from.
00:26:55.260 And I miss being able to visit my loved ones more often.
00:27:00.320 I go, but I want to go more often.
00:27:03.880 Because that's where I'm from.
00:27:05.740 That's where my family is there.
00:27:07.900 But these criminal organizations, they have no respect for human life.
00:27:12.320 They have no respect for anyone.
00:27:14.000 That's why border security is a must.
00:27:17.020 Our border patrol agents are exhausted.
00:27:18.960 I'm a border patrol wife.
00:27:21.760 They don't have a voice.
00:27:22.980 This administration has given their back on our border patrol agents, on our law enforcement.
00:27:29.860 And our border patrol are focused on the humanitarian crisis and not able to stop the fentanyl that is coming in into our country, killing about 300 people per day.
00:27:44.440 This is very serious.
00:27:46.160 This shouldn't even be political.
00:27:47.660 The things that we're fighting for, a better economy, reducing inflation and border security, these are things that, you know, we should all be working together.
00:28:00.420 And under this administration, 98 suspected terrorists have been apprehended in the southern border.
00:28:08.020 We're talking to Congresswoman, talking to Congressman Myra Flores, because of redistricting, this is a very tight race.
00:28:19.820 If you would like to help her with her campaign, I think a little goes a long way in South Texas.
00:28:26.420 Please, please go to the website, MyraFloresForCongress.com, M-A-Y-R-A-F-L-O-E-F-L-O-R-E-S, MyraFloresForCongress.com.
00:28:44.920 Myra, best of luck to you.
00:28:47.360 Thank you so much.
00:28:48.280 We'll win a re-election next week.
00:28:49.900 Good.
00:28:50.240 Thank you.
00:28:50.680 God bless.
00:28:51.660 It's a big race.
00:28:52.220 That's a big race.
00:28:53.000 And it's kind of a test as to whether this movement we saw in 2020 and 2016 among the Hispanic community is real.
00:29:00.620 Was it a one-off?
00:29:01.680 Was it maybe just related to Donald Trump?
00:29:03.560 Who knows?
00:29:04.160 It's amazing to me how none of those numbers held up with Barack Obama.
00:29:10.440 It was all about Barack Obama.
00:29:12.180 Yeah.
00:29:12.360 And then it all fell apart.
00:29:14.060 Yeah.
00:29:14.260 I mean, if you remember, everyone's like, oh, Barack Obama, what an amazing campaigner.
00:29:17.880 Well, did you look at 2010 and 2014?
00:29:20.260 Yeah.
00:29:20.460 I mean, the Democrats got brutalized in both of those elections despite his influence.
00:29:25.480 Only when he was on the ballot specifically did they do well.
00:29:29.500 And look, you can make the argument that Trump has some of the same features where he did well in 2016, 2020, brought up a lot of people that maybe you didn't think were going to win.
00:29:40.380 But 2018 did not go particularly well.
00:29:42.680 This is a chance here to see if those gains, especially in the Hispanic community, are real and are lasting. 0.54
00:29:49.120 It's going to be fascinating to watch that race.
00:29:51.500 Myra Flores for Congress.com.
00:29:57.020 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:30:00.560 Dr. Robert Epstein.
00:30:02.060 He is the senior research psychologist.
00:30:05.920 He is found at mygoogleresearch.com.
00:30:09.940 We usually touch base before every election and talk about his research, what he found and what he is discovering.
00:30:18.200 He is actually tracking all of the all of the Google searches across the country as best he can.
00:30:27.360 Dr. Epstein, how are you, sir?
00:30:30.360 Good, Glenn.
00:30:31.100 How are you doing?
00:30:31.760 I'm great.
00:30:32.380 I'm great.
00:30:33.140 So where are we on this project now?
00:30:36.480 Well, we're well along.
00:30:39.140 You helped tremendously and your audience helped with financial support back in 2020.
00:30:45.060 That was critical.
00:30:46.120 You wouldn't have had a project without you.
00:30:48.460 But this year, we've expanded tremendously, and we are in most of the swing states.
00:30:57.920 We have more than 2,000 field agents, which means we're monitoring the content that the big tech companies are sending to voters 24 hours a day through more than 2,000 computers, computers of real voters.
00:31:10.860 So we're seeing the actual content that these companies are sending, and we are measuring it, and we are finding all kinds of disturbing things.
00:31:22.040 They're shifting right now at this moment.
00:31:25.320 They're shifting thousands and thousands of votes in the swing states in a way that people cannot see.
00:31:33.900 So this is much more dangerous than TV commercials or even trying to rig voting machines.
00:31:41.200 This is far more dangerous.
00:31:43.400 And we're on it, and we're expanding the system.
00:31:47.480 This time, it's going to be permanent so that we will have, by next year, a nationwide system, a digital shield that will be protecting 24 hours a day, protecting our elections,
00:31:59.100 and protecting our children as well from any kind of manipulation by the big tech companies.
00:32:04.640 This is fantastic.
00:32:05.560 So for people who aren't familiar with your research, tell people how Google, for instance, or YouTube changes votes without anybody knowing it.
00:32:16.660 Well, on YouTube, for example, we found in 2020 that 93% of the videos recommended by their up-next algorithm,
00:32:25.620 you know, that up-next suggestion that just plays automatically, 93% of those videos were coming from liberal news sources.
00:32:34.620 And that is extremely powerful as a way of manipulating people.
00:32:41.300 And by the way, those up-next suggestions weren't just going to liberals.
00:32:47.340 They were going even more so to moderates and even more so to conservatives.
00:32:51.820 And, you know, then there's search results, which right now we're measuring very carefully, and they're highly biased toward liberal candidates.
00:33:05.000 And there are certain segments of our population, the most vulnerable being moderate Republicans, by the way, who trust those high-ranking search results.
00:33:14.460 And right now, Google, especially in Wisconsin and in Florida and in Arizona and other swing states,
00:33:23.260 they have high up in their search results links that bring you to webpages that make the Democratic candidates look great
00:33:34.640 and make the conservative candidates, the Republican candidates look bad.
00:33:38.040 That shifts the votes.
00:33:40.040 That's incredible.
00:33:40.820 And then there's email suppression.
00:33:42.000 Email suppression.
00:33:42.800 The RNC just sued Google for suppressing tens of millions of emails to potential Republican voters.
00:33:51.280 And then there's Google's homepage where they put those go vote reminders.
00:33:57.360 Yes.
00:33:57.700 And we're monitoring that very carefully because in 2020, we found last minute that Google was sending those out primarily to liberals and moderates.
00:34:13.040 Now, think how big a manipulation that is because no one knows it's occurring.
00:34:18.800 That's targeted messaging, we call it.
00:34:20.740 So, you have been doing some just, I mean, God's work here on this.
00:34:27.100 And you've been doing it for years now.
00:34:29.700 At least we've known each other, what, five, six years?
00:34:33.460 Yes.
00:34:33.880 Yeah.
00:34:34.300 And we've been talking about it.
00:34:36.980 When is someone in Washington going to use this and actually take these guys down on it?
00:34:47.020 Well, we're getting close.
00:34:48.760 You see, you've got to have the data to bring to the courts.
00:34:53.700 You know, the legislation is not going to help too much.
00:34:57.420 And, of course, you know, we don't have much cooperation in Washington.
00:35:04.000 So, I'm worried about, you know, the legislative approach ever moving forward.
00:35:08.560 But there is an alternative because in 2020, we got some senators based on our preliminary data to send a threatening letter to the CEO of Google.
00:35:21.660 And Google backed down.
00:35:25.160 Google shut off all their manipulations in the Georgia Senate runoff elections.
00:35:29.720 They turned off everything.
00:35:31.160 No one got a go-vote reminder in Georgia.
00:35:34.840 And that's because of our project.
00:35:36.780 And at this moment, Glenn, you're the first to know.
00:35:39.700 But there are a group of senators right this second ready to send another threatening letter to the CEO of Google based on our preliminary data that we have right now.
00:35:50.340 So, that is in the works.
00:35:52.160 It might happen today.
00:35:53.960 That would be good.
00:35:55.000 What states is that going to affect, can you say?
00:35:59.280 I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you that we are in most of the swing states monitoring very aggressively.
00:36:08.900 And what we should see, what we should detect, is that Google will turn off all of their manipulations and will detect it when they do it.
00:36:18.260 Wow.
00:36:18.820 And those last few days in close elections are absolutely critical.
00:36:24.120 So, we're on the verge of making that happen again.
00:36:28.220 And once this system, by the end of next year, is nationwide, these companies will never touch our elections again.
00:36:37.060 And they're going to keep away from our kids as well.
00:36:39.100 I hope so.
00:36:39.500 And we're now starting to monitor kids.
00:36:41.860 So, help me out on Google.
00:36:45.080 Because it looks like now, in fact, I don't even think it looks like, we have the evidence that Google, Facebook, Twitter, they are all colluding with the government.
00:36:55.880 The government was directing them on who to ban and what to look for.
00:37:02.080 And they were doing it.
00:37:03.240 Well, that, of course, is not what we study.
00:37:07.280 We study the actual manipulations.
00:37:10.360 By the way, I hope your audience, which has been so generous to us in the past, will go to mygoogleresearch.com if they want to get more info or help us out.
00:37:20.220 But, you know, what we are studying are the manipulations themselves.
00:37:25.580 And we are collecting data now, by the way, not just on Google, but on YouTube, on Facebook, Google's homepage.
00:37:36.800 We are really, we've expanded tremendously over the years.
00:37:40.980 You know, I've been working on this stuff for 10 years.
00:37:43.480 But we've gotten to the point where we're going to have a national digital shield in place.
00:37:50.120 And what does that mean?
00:37:51.580 Well, that means that 24 hours a day through the computers of more than 20,000 people around the country and the computers of lots of children, this is with their parents' support, of course, will be looking at content being sent by the tech companies.
00:38:08.020 And if we find any kind of bias, any kind of manipulation, we will report it to the AGs, to members of Congress, to the Federal Election Commission, to journalists, anyone who will listen.
00:38:22.800 And they will stop because, as Justice Brandeis said 100 years ago, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
00:38:30.120 And we're building a permanent system now that's growing every day that will stop these companies cold for many years to come.
00:38:42.500 This is happening.
00:38:44.880 This is growing right this second.
00:38:47.840 And, you know, no matter what happens or doesn't happen with legislation in our crazy government or with regulation, the monitoring system will protect us.
00:38:58.920 It's a digital shield across the country.
00:39:02.600 And we're building it now.
00:39:05.020 So, and again, you know.
00:39:06.640 Doctor, can I, let me just pass something by.
00:39:09.020 And I said this to Stu off air.
00:39:11.780 And I haven't said it on the air because I didn't, I don't want anybody to think that I'm thinking this happened.
00:39:17.420 This is, this is though, if I were a fiction writer, this is what I would write for fiction.
00:39:24.500 But I wanted to know if you think it would even stand up the scrutiny in a fiction book.
00:39:30.960 You know, you're looking at this guy who was a hippie in California.
00:39:35.700 He was lefty, Black Lives Matter, all of it. 0.90
00:39:39.360 And then suddenly he, he finds himself spewing, you know, Republican like talking points.
00:39:48.400 And then he goes into the house and, and wants to horribly kill Nancy Pelosi.
00:39:56.080 And, and I'm not saying this happened.
00:39:59.020 What I'm saying is, is it possible in a fiction setting right now, would it be possible to come up with a script that would show that a company like Facebook or Google, especially, could manipulate things subtly over time and convince somebody who's really kind of crazy already to do bidding.
00:40:23.720 And there would be no record of it.
00:40:26.920 Glenn, this is what we study.
00:40:28.900 This is what we've been studying for 10 years.
00:40:30.620 Of course, it's possible.
00:40:32.480 I'm not buying into that conspiracy theory.
00:40:34.540 Yeah, no, and it's not a conspiracy theory.
00:40:36.660 It's a fiction.
00:40:37.280 I mean, that's what I would write if I was a fiction writer.
00:40:40.620 Right.
00:40:41.160 Well, I'm telling you, that's what we study.
00:40:44.120 That's exactly what we do.
00:40:45.360 My team is the only team in the world doing this.
00:40:47.760 And we study these techniques that these companies have access to that can change people's opinions, attitudes, beliefs, purchases, voting preferences, political preferences.
00:41:01.920 And these techniques are among the most powerful to influence techniques, techniques of influence that have ever been discovered in the behavioral sciences in 100 years.
00:41:13.040 And you and I can't use them.
00:41:15.960 That's the problem.
00:41:17.060 See, they're in the hands of these big tech companies.
00:41:20.280 And Google, especially, has said that they are using their powers, all their powers, to spread the values of their company.
00:41:32.020 I mean, they've said it.
00:41:32.960 And you know what they're doing?
00:41:34.200 They're indoctrinating our kids.
00:41:35.840 You know how some of these strange attitudes have suddenly changed in our society about certain minority groups and so on?
00:41:45.520 Okay.
00:41:45.960 And we don't know how the heck this change occurred.
00:41:48.460 I am telling you that because we're starting to monitor the content going to kids, we're going to find out because there is, I am sure, indoctrination occurring on a massive scale.
00:42:00.960 And we are going to document that.
00:42:04.040 And by the way, we're not spying on anyone.
00:42:06.500 Okay.
00:42:06.740 Yeah, everybody is a volunteer on this.
00:42:10.200 I would really urge you to help fund this if you are interested in this at all.
00:42:15.860 I think this is some of the most important research out there because this has to be stopped.
00:42:21.780 MyGoogleResearch.com is the web address.
00:42:25.080 MyGoogleResearch.com.
00:42:26.240 You can make any kind of donation.
00:42:28.080 This is a lasting kind of donation.
00:42:30.660 And I'm so glad to hear that it's going into permanency now.
00:42:33.680 Doctor, great to talk to you again, as always.
00:42:36.040 Thank you.
00:42:37.320 Thank you, Glenn.
