tragically sad if it doesn't go our way tonight but it's it's i i really think it's going to um
00:02:55.780
eric schmidt is uh with us he is the missouri attorney general i think he's one of the strongest
00:03:01.200
there's like there's like four of them in the country that i can always count on and go yep they're
00:03:06.500
going to do the right thing eric schmidt is one of those guys he is the attorney general who's
00:03:11.060
running for the u.s senate and you are i mean i say this without trying to jinx it um you are way
00:03:18.940
ahead in your election are you not eric we feel good about it and that's what the polling would
00:03:24.580
suggest but you know this glenn like i think these uh you got to run through the tape here and make
00:03:29.380
sure people get out and vote but it's exciting we're confident and uh like we're working really
00:03:34.420
hard i mean you talk about it all the time when i think the fate of this republic hangs in the
00:03:39.140
balance we cannot go another two years with what we've seen we've been fighting those fights in the
00:03:42.860
ag's office and i want to take that same fighting spirit to the senate well we need you in there i
00:03:47.560
don't know if you've seen the letter from uh grassley and and mike lee and tom cotton that talk
00:03:53.760
about esg there is a big coalition in the senate that's going to take that on next year and i think
00:04:01.160
that's great yeah i look forward to hopefully joining that as you know glenn uh we opened up a
00:04:07.620
big investigation just a few weeks ago against six of the biggest banks in the world for this u.n
00:04:13.760
net zero carbon alliance net zero banking alliance where they want to have their portfolios by 2050
00:04:20.520
carbon neutral what does that mean well that means not only going after oil and gas production which
00:04:25.220
is by the way driving inflation because we've choked that off um going after um car manufacturers
00:04:31.460
and california is the the worst example this right they on monday they say uh no more uh gas powered
00:04:38.500
vehicles on friday and say oh yeah we don't we can't charge your electric vehicle it's just totally insane
00:04:43.320
but also it's traditional agriculture i mean they're going to go after your farm your loan because you
00:04:49.160
have too many diesel powered vehicles this is a radical agenda we see the short-term play right
00:04:54.340
now with the biden administration this esg movement's a long-term play it's antithetical to capitalism it's
00:04:59.780
antithetical to the american experiment and we got to stop it well i do want to also tell you that
00:05:05.060
tomorrow i start a campaign uh for all the senate senators republican that have been elected or
00:05:11.660
currently there except for mitt romney um i am uh i am starting a campaign to get rick scott to replace
00:05:19.920
um uh you know turtle man what's his name mitch mcconnell i block his name all the time yes you do
00:05:26.420
it's bad and i'm not going to ask you to if to join that campaign until tomorrow then i'll talk to you
00:05:32.480
about it um so eric i saw the doj's plans to monitor monitor elections i know now it's happening
00:05:41.200
in missouri it's happening in texas and it's happening in florida uh what are you doing about
00:05:48.040
it in missouri and have they said why they're coming to monitor your elections you know everybody
00:05:53.920
just became aware of this last minute as you would expect and we're uh obviously uh mongering this
00:05:59.100
ourselves and watching very closely i think it's a glimpse when into two things one is the over
00:06:06.200
politicization of doj we have seen this time and time again now whether it's going after political
00:06:10.820
enemies like some sort of banana republic it did you know raiding the the pre-dawn raid of the former
00:06:17.120
president's home and likely rival which is nuts and by the way if that were happening in another country
00:06:23.400
our state department would be like warning americans about it right it's happening here um so you got
00:06:29.060
that going on of course you've got the infamous patriot using the patriot act to go after parents
00:06:34.700
who show up to school board meetings these folks at the top are held in on power and control and one
00:06:39.460
of our important roles in the senate in this oversight function is we got to bring these folks in and not
00:06:45.080
just there obviously we've got in our lawsuit against big tech coordinating with big government
00:06:49.160
a deposition scheduled with anthony fauci i think he needs to be brought in in 2023 and clear his calendar
00:06:54.500
but back to doj you've seen the over politicization it's also a um a tell for them of what they really
00:07:01.480
want to do when they talk about federalizing our elections i mean they want command and control from
00:07:06.260
washington dc the constitution is very clear that state legislature set the time place and manner of
00:07:11.360
elections um and uh this is a preemptive um message i guess they're sending to 24 states where
00:07:19.160
they're quote unquote monitoring it so uh we're concerned about it we're watching it um but again
00:07:24.320
it's part and parcel of this doj that again it's just become way too political so wait a minute 24
00:07:29.320
states how many of them are uh blue states i haven't seen the full list i really haven't i just know that
00:07:36.120
in missouri you know our secretary of state became aware of this just about 48 hours ago yeah yeah so
00:07:42.040
anyway so it's okay and it's so are you doing florida florida department of state just uh said
00:07:49.260
you're not welcome fact federal election monitors are not permitted inside of polling places as it
00:07:55.360
would be counterproductive and potentially undermine the confidence in this election um so they're saying
00:08:02.460
don't don't you dare do it yeah no we've pushed back um we pushed back and again it's it's kind of
00:08:09.800
unclear what exactly you know this quote unquote monitoring you know it's just it's this vagueness
00:08:15.600
but i think it's it's meant to send a message right again this is just this is not what doj is
00:08:21.460
supposed to be right the department of justice uh is supposed to be this neutral actor that um you
00:08:28.460
know represents the government in certain cases right what we're seeing right now and it's not just
00:08:34.300
doj sadly i mean you're seeing this with the 87 000 new irs agents which by the way is one thing
00:08:40.580
that we got to take care of right away when we get into congress make sure those people don't get
00:08:44.820
funded but you're just seeing the administrative state now take on an even more aggressive approach
00:08:50.140
and i actually think they're going to try to accelerate this glenn i think that you know especially
00:08:54.220
if republicans take over tonight they know that the only way they can get move their agenda forward
00:08:58.560
isn't legislatively it's through this administrative state and mike lee is somebody that i am i he
00:09:03.300
endorsed me in my primary um and i know that you hold that same admiration for him he's a good man
00:09:08.920
in working on on some things that that pull back that power the founders never envisioned
00:09:14.800
in the system of self-government and separation powers which is meant to protect individual liberty
00:09:19.560
they never thought and by the way half of the federalist papers are written about how
00:09:23.680
these different you know um branches would jealously guard their power right they they knew what human
00:09:29.360
nature was like they never thought that the article one branch congress would willingly
00:09:32.880
cede all this authority right to the article two branch the executive branch right we got to
00:09:37.380
bring that back in whether it's for every new rule pull back 10 or it's if it has an impact over x y
00:09:42.940
and z the congress has to vote on it we got to do that because the folks in congress glenn are perfectly
00:09:48.260
happy many of them were saying i voted for the greatest bill in the world but i can't believe what
00:09:52.780
the epa did we got exactly right because people aren't accountable and that's what our entire system of
00:09:58.740
self-government is based on if you want to understand what you know missouri's always been
00:10:03.540
suspicious of the government you know central government a thousand miles away telling us how
00:10:08.360
to live our lives but at the root of it is nobody knows who the deputy undersecretary of the department
00:10:14.340
is and this is at the heart of all of these big issues we're talking about a lot of our lawsuits a lot
00:10:21.860
of things you talk about we got to get that under control it doesn't make front page you know sort of
00:10:27.000
headlines but it's the root of frustration it's the root of the problem all right my man um are you
00:10:34.160
still out campaigning today we did we did a uh we did a election days you know interesting right like
00:10:41.780
we did a a six-day uh tour yesterday around the state uh i'm gonna go vote with my my wife here in
00:10:47.960
about 10 minutes uh we've got a family tradition of eating pizza on election day uh so we'll do that
00:10:54.180
later today so there's a lot of things but you're gonna still try to you know talk to voters uh but
00:10:59.760
you know today is a day where people let their voices be heard and it's we're in the greatest
00:11:03.820
country in the history of the world and i think people understand the stakes today we have to
00:11:07.900
preserve that we have to take this country back because there's nowhere else to go this is the
00:11:12.160
greatest experiment in human history there is nowhere else to go and once you lose it you don't get it
00:11:18.160
back every civilization has a beginning and has an end and i don't think that uh the american people
00:11:24.340
right now want to give up on this country so today's a big big day hopefully your election coverage
00:11:28.160
tonight you guys are having a lot of fun declaring you know this red wave but we got to earn it well
00:11:33.200
like i said you you cannot count you got to get out and vote we would love to have you on as soon as you
00:11:37.680
walk off stage uh you know uh accepting uh tonight so uh we'd love to have you part of the uh the
00:11:45.300
program listen um take care be safe thank you for everything you've done and we look for big things
00:11:51.900
uh assuming you win tonight all right glenn take care god bless bye-bye it's just such a tough spot to
00:11:59.860
be a politician in the middle of the election day interview where you know like you know eric's i think
00:12:05.840
polling looks really good i think uh i think he's going to win but like you don't want people to say
00:12:11.120
ah he's going to win they're not going to come out that's the worst thing you got anyone can do yeah
00:12:15.860
the worst thing anyone can do i would not look at any of this stuff as as a sure thing i mean these
00:12:21.820
are these races can go either way you know the missouri race was supposed to be one of the closest in
00:12:27.680
the country i think you know eric has done a really good job as a candidate and and has opened up
00:12:31.980
a lead in the polling but not only a good job as a candidate i think he was a strong attorney general
00:12:37.060
yeah i think he went after the bad guys over and over and over again and people rewarded they're two
00:12:43.340
different jobs though you know yeah you can be a really competent public servant and then suck as a
00:12:48.660
candidate we've seen that many times and people lose races that way he's been able to handle both
00:12:53.660
of those jobs which is is great and i think he's going to be a really good senator when he wins
00:12:58.340
today yes good news today um hopefully we have uh masters on with us today we have when is he coming
00:13:04.420
up do you know don't know yet um we've got a few of them stopping stopping by today anxious to see
00:13:10.220
what is happening with carrie lake you know she was in her her office was attacked nobody's talking
00:13:16.420
about all of the things that are that are happening to the republicans the violence the uh the threats
00:13:24.420
that are going on they don't talk we are in the hunter biden window that's a new thing that has
00:13:28.540
developed in elections there's a hunter biden window that journalists now all have adopted like it's you
00:13:33.980
know it's uh it's a national holiday where they have a uh moratorium on news that could possibly help
00:13:41.000
republicans yeah and i just you just you just look it's too important this is them talking it's too
00:13:47.080
important we i know the journalism thing we're supposed to report both sides blah blah blah blah blah blah
00:13:52.420
but when we're this close we can't we can't throw we can we can tell that story after nancy pelosi we
00:13:58.200
can tell that story after the election right and that is what i think really is has been implemented
00:14:03.260
is starting after 2016 with the you know the james comey letter and and the and that stuff that
00:14:10.820
developed right before that election they said they'd never make that mistake again and they are
00:14:14.380
trying to implement that so i would like to just ask you one question it's more rhetorical we can get
00:14:18.600
to the answer maybe tomorrow uh why is it that nancy pelosi and the san francisco police refuse to
00:14:24.700
give anyone the mugshot of the perpetrator that tried what why this is the best of the glenn beck
00:14:35.820
program and we really want to thank you for listening
00:14:38.160
well stew is here and stew is um is the guy who you know looks at all the polls then looks at what
00:14:49.800
what other things do you look at lots of different things uh historic trends uh you know financial
00:14:55.900
donations uh you know um changes in the demographics and in each district uh you know momentum got it
00:15:04.260
there's a lot of stuff okay so uh you're putting them all together now and you're ready to make
00:15:10.100
your final calls yes we're gonna hold you to these pat gray is joining us now from pat gray unleashed
00:15:16.580
i i do a similar thing i just uh look at the race and think yeah i think he's gonna win
00:15:22.760
that's pretty much the same process it's very similar it's very very close to what you just described
00:15:27.960
except nothing like that well except the exact opposite of no research whatsoever right okay
00:15:33.260
all right okay so let's go through these these are probably more more accurate and that's uh that's
00:15:38.080
how this works like it's the it's like the the woman in the office who's never watched a college
00:15:42.620
basketball game that wins the final four tournament yeah uh that's how this works uh so uh but uh so let
00:15:48.620
me let me give you a baseline because i think most of this will agree on okay first of all you start
00:15:52.980
out in the senate 36 democrats not up for election they're automatically locked in 29 republicans one of
00:15:59.820
the reasons why it's tough for republicans to win the senate is because they're down by seven at the
00:16:03.720
start right 36 29 as we lead in to election day so then we go to the likely categories what races we
00:16:12.080
don't think will be super close tell me if you disagree with any of these we can move them uh on
00:16:17.040
your charts but uh california hawaii illinois maryland new york oregon vermont connecticut
00:16:26.360
you got any disagreements locked in with democrats yes i would agree with that there are some people
00:16:32.360
i know around here that are getting super optimistic and thinking connecticut might be in play
00:16:35.800
no way i don't think so but that's i'm confident with all those glenn you there uh i'm gonna give
00:16:43.120
you my list here in a minute but i i think that there's um there's some openings there but it's gonna
00:16:48.840
be okay it's gonna you're gonna have to be so we're gonna have to have an extraordinary night
00:16:53.620
some people have speculated oregon might be in play yeah oregon for the governor governor is
00:16:59.400
definitely in play yeah for the senate not so much it would be a big surprise right but it's you know
00:17:03.940
again when the gubernatorial race is close you know yeah i don't want to never know talk anyone
00:17:08.180
out of voting please do it right on the likely republican side give me if you if you disagree with
00:17:12.340
any of these alabama arkansas idaho indiana kansas kentucky louisiana south carolina both dakotas
00:17:21.900
also both oklahomas there's a special election going on there's two senate seats in oklahoma
00:17:26.440
missouri we just talked to eric schmidt uh just on the air just a minute ago iowa and florida which
00:17:32.600
is marco rubio was closer early on i moved it over to the likely category i think a couple weeks ago
00:17:37.060
that gives you any disagreements on there that you're worried about any of those okay so what's
00:17:42.020
interesting about that is it gets you to the baseline of 44 44 oh we're locking in right there at 44
00:17:47.960
to 44 all the races after that i think are up for a decent amount of discussion um should we go
00:17:55.900
through some of these sure yeah all right so colorado is uh we're talking about democratic
00:18:00.340
leaners maybe colorado washington and new hampshire uh alaska utah wisconsin ohio north carolina
00:18:08.360
georgia pennsylvania nevada and arizona so let's take these start wherever you want start at the
00:18:15.880
beginning okay go ahead okay a couple i think the two easiest ones uh will be alaska yeah so alaska
00:18:21.620
is going to be a republican we just don't know if it's murkowski or not yeah and then you have utah
00:18:26.040
which is mike lee it's so i'm with i'm with mike lee for sure mike lee yeah uh and a republican
00:18:31.520
because it's going to be a republican it's going to be a republican so then you go to uh wisconsin
00:18:35.580
ron johnson against mandela barnes i think he wins i think i think he wins too i'm with ron johnson on
00:18:41.400
that one uh colorado is oday versus bennett this has been going to win that you think bennett's
00:18:48.180
going to win glenn the democrat bennett or the republican oday republican really okay so alan oday
00:18:57.840
who did uh heaven on the seventh floor yeah no it's not it's not no it's not darn it i'd really i
00:19:03.740
think i'd love to hear that song again i would too yeah absolutely on the seventh floor yeah
00:19:09.900
really good uh that this really should have been the theme song yeah really i so i have colorado in
00:19:14.920
my final predictions as a democratic win uh unfortunately in colorado in colorado me too
00:19:20.460
uh we go over to um ohio ohio jd vance yes versus tim ryan i think that's wins if vance got a really
00:19:28.820
good poll today he's up by 10 which is nice which is great result i also have ohio as a republican and
00:19:35.140
i have wisconsin if i didn't say that as republican as well uh north carolina ted budd versus beasley
00:19:40.260
there but is held a moderate but consistent lead here for a few weeks and i have budd winning that
00:19:47.200
seat me too okay washington we talked to tiffany smiley going up against patty murray this is she could
00:19:53.420
win this reach state potentially i'm gonna so close i'm gonna say yes closer than democrats could
00:19:58.320
have possibly expected going into this for sure i'm gonna say yes they don't like her they don't
00:20:02.560
like patty murray in washington yeah i don't think the democrats are even that excited about her they're
00:20:07.620
not and so this might be i think this a big surprise okay pat what'd you say i i i think the republican
00:20:15.480
pulls it out here too yeah okay i i would love that to be true i i i found this one really close uh
00:20:20.900
however i did give this one to the democrats you did yes in a close race you bastard i know wow but
00:20:26.800
again i think these are so far pretty good results georgia herschel walker herschel wins i think herschel
00:20:32.540
wins as well uh now i think it wins outright i don't think he'll even go to a runoff that's gonna be
00:20:38.360
my follow-up do you think pat glenn that it goes to a runoff does he clear 50 runoff i do think it
00:20:44.280
could as well now that again would probably be probably be good for herschel walker he probably
00:20:50.900
will win a runoff but again we said that last time too and both democrats won so you don't want
00:20:56.800
to risk it hopefully you can get over 50 percent there uh pennsylvania oz versus fetterman fetterman
00:21:03.100
i don't want fetterman so badly that i i i can't pick him i'm gonna pick oz oz i i just
00:21:15.460
this is one of those no confidence the data looks yeah first of all we're in no confidence area at
00:21:21.020
this point yeah there's no ones i have any confidence it could go either way we're in
00:21:25.160
really really close territory here i went back and forth a little bit on pennsylvania but i just
00:21:30.200
can't imagine and i shouldn't say things like this but the data had a very it was very very close
00:21:37.160
i'm giving the edge to dr oz which is a strange sentence to say good i think oz will win i just
00:21:45.300
feel like there's enough people in the middle who don't necessarily have huge ideological leanings
00:21:50.820
in a republican climate you know based on things like inflation and all the underlying issues we're
00:21:55.800
talking about and then to see the fact that one of the two candidates is incapable of speaking yeah
00:22:01.060
i just are there are not people with common sense to sway it 10 years ago i would have said
00:22:06.420
oz right by 10 points right 20 points i don't think it's gonna be 10 or 20 points no it's not
00:22:11.020
it's gonna be close but i gotta give this one to oz and a squeaker all right then next up uh nevada
00:22:16.800
nevada is adam laxalt against cortez masto i think laxalt only because there's a legacy there and
00:22:23.360
and nevada loves the laxalts and uh and i think i think he wins i think he pulls it out cortez masto is
00:22:30.300
the is the incumbent yeah so there's a bit of an advantage there but right you know laxalt's held
00:22:33.960
the public office he's relatively well known not known as family's well known well known not known
00:22:38.880
as like some crazy outlier candidate he's done a good job in his campaign he's had many polls that
00:22:43.760
have showed him up though it is close i also had nevada going to the republicans and laxalt winning
00:22:49.000
uh two races left here that we have not covered new hampshire new hampshire is is a really interesting
00:22:56.860
race because hassan or hassan depending on how you say it uh people seem to do both uh but she has
00:23:04.920
she's the incumbent but really not a particularly notable one right like there's not a lot of
00:23:10.740
chatter about her she's never really involved in in big things this is a purplish state uh you have
00:23:17.540
um don baldock who was initially seen as this candidate that couldn't possibly win he's too radical
00:23:24.820
too crazy they came into office and closed the polls from about 11 points down to dead dead heat
00:23:31.040
level i'm gonna give it to him you're gonna go with that's bolder don baldock we had him on the air
00:23:36.540
he didn't seem like a crazy person at all had a couple of listeners from new hampshire today that
00:23:41.060
convinced me that boldock is gonna win you know there's the momentum is really on his side right now
00:23:46.920
in a in a it's gonna be close it's gonna be very close uh i could be weeks before we know my we might
00:23:54.080
even know until 2027 this is the race that's how long it'll be i had the hardest time with i went
00:23:59.660
back and forth on it a bunch of times uh and i wound up giving it to the democrats oh no wow
00:24:05.080
very very close very very close last race arizona easy masters easy masters now here's the thing
00:24:13.540
that to lead you into this yeah no not easy masters easy for me masters but i mean arizona could be dead
00:24:21.040
to us all by tonight good you know what i mean yeah good uh but what's interesting about the
00:24:25.540
masters race because i said this about pennsylvania as oz was tightening this race and i started to
00:24:32.520
believe that oz was going to win it i just said i want to see one one poll give me one poll that
00:24:38.120
shows him actually winning it you know i think i'm all of them and now we got them we never got that
00:24:43.060
out of the masters race still has not been any polls any that have shown blake masters ahead in
00:24:51.720
this race at least according to real clear politics now there's some other polls they don't always
00:24:55.100
include however he's gonna win however let me let me amend that until today today we got not only
00:25:02.480
one but two polls showing masters nice ahead yeah so that is a big update to that story i think these
00:25:09.360
polls are going to be very wrong and i just don't see masters not winning with carrie lake i think
00:25:14.380
you're right i think i think uh masters will win as well i give that to republicans so what do you
00:25:18.320
have my total here with all of the races we've just talked about is republicans with 53 seats
00:25:24.380
democrats 47 seats that's exactly what i have so is that really because i have you switched i might
00:25:31.840
have switched a few states from you but i wound up at 53 47 you had pennsylvania going to the democrats
00:25:37.000
glenn if i remember right and then you put you all right here's my final count okay um democrats 61
00:25:42.900
sorry republicans 61 democrats 38 wow so there's gonna be one seat really yeah that's because
00:25:49.500
strangely um utah just wrote in we want to eject mitt romney so there's one open seat oh yeah so
00:25:59.140
61 38 so you went with the ejection clause i did i like that i did it's with the good and plenty
00:26:05.760
clause yeah so that's in the constitution we're still constitutional constitutional territory okay
00:26:11.500
territory okay all right so that's pretty positive with you 50 50 or you said 53 53 is very positive
00:26:18.800
we should be happy no we want to get to 53 that i want to get to 54 what we don't want to do is get
00:26:24.180
to 48 and stop so let's just hope again we look how many of these races we were like gosh these are
00:26:30.520
really tight i know no no really it's not a sure thing there's at least three of them
00:26:35.440
yeah i i think that number might even be higher that you could flip okay but hey look if you can
00:26:42.960
get over get to 51 that's the most important thing yeah everything you get above that probably murkowski
00:26:48.300
and romney yeah so it's not gonna you're not gonna feel secure at 51 yeah but it's much better at least
00:26:54.220
you can at least direct you know the things they're yes they're handling yes uh okay um and
00:27:00.080
by the way don't forget blaze tv coverage tonight blaze tv.com slash midterms the promo code is uh
00:27:06.380
red wave for 30 bucks off also after that coverage going to the wee hours of morning i'm going to be on
00:27:11.220
the youtube page youtube.com slash studios america with extra coverage uh into the late night i'll be
00:27:15.920
getting a q a this afternoon too if you have any questions about the election on studios america youtube
00:27:19.740
uh let's go over to the uh house you'll do house next or governors glenn uh let's do the house just
00:27:25.160
real quick okay so quick uh yep so i have uh again current control 220 democrats 212 republicans all
00:27:32.360
seats are up for election here as far as sure thing likelies i have 191 republicans 165 democrats
00:27:40.560
for leaners 47 republicans 32 democrats so for a final total of 238 republicans 197 democrats
00:27:49.580
so uh would you put that in the that's really good wave that'd be really good election this
00:27:54.560
yes it's good it's very good i don't think it's really strong it's not red tsunami no you could
00:27:59.700
get into the 250s if things go super well tonight i have there's 435 so i have uh 432 going to the
00:28:11.380
republicans okay 432 432 you're thinking three democrats are gonna win three democrats are gonna win
00:28:17.260
um but they're so old they'll be trapped in their office because they don't they won't know how to
00:28:21.840
open the door or where they are right okay uh and so they'll never actually show up for a vote
00:28:27.320
you have you have a significant amount more i would say this is a red tidal wave maybe maybe it may be a
00:28:36.020
tsunami okay so 432 to three to three is the i don't know 61 to 38 in the senate for the republicans
00:28:44.080
yeah can you call that a tsunami though really it's not unanimous no right right in either house
00:28:50.180
right so what are these imagine the people in those three districts what the heck are they doing
00:28:53.920
you know what i mean what are they doing voting for the democrat in those three well they're stupid
00:28:57.300
well you know it's san francisco nancy pelosi's gonna be oh she's still gonna make it through
00:29:01.700
yeah yeah yeah dang well that's a sympathy vote for her husband yeah and strom thurman's back on the
00:29:08.340
boat uh back on the ballot but he's actually running as a democrat because he forgot wow yeah
00:29:13.920
so he's uh huh he's running as a democrat really yes wow that's a that's a decomposition of strom i
00:29:22.040
think that's pretty it's pretty strong that he can actually do that though oh i switch parties for one
00:29:27.440
thing hot that's off to him you know that's off to him really impressive thank you an impressive
00:29:33.140
impressive thing i based that on a lot of stuff i want to say that i like your prediction better
00:29:38.480
than mine i do too i think it's better that's why i'm here right yeah you're giving the the good news
00:29:43.300
pat are you more optimistic or less than glenn just slightly less optimistic i think it's going to be
00:29:48.460
240 240 to what 196 would that be uh 195 95 yeah 195 yeah 240 to 195 i mean i think that's
00:29:56.200
within the i mean the republicans really should win that's a the key number one here is you know
00:30:03.040
even like the mainstream uh models you know have i think it's 80 85 percent chance of republicans
00:30:09.700
winning the house so things should go well here they are favored it's not impossible 85 though is
00:30:14.720
what one out of six chance that they don't but i mean and most likely they they should win the house
00:30:19.720
i saw uh i saw one of those polls today where they're they're saying 70 percent chance that the
00:30:26.420
republicans regain the senate which a couple of weeks ago just uh maybe last month it was the other
00:30:33.180
way around it was like 78 percent democrat chance to give you a the 538 model had on september 18th had
00:30:40.000
democrats with a 71 percent chance of winning the senate and today their final model it's down to 41
00:30:47.440
holy wow more than a 10 foot uh 10 10 point swing that's wild wow that's uh really good math thank
00:30:54.760
you you're really good well oh look you just do that i mean i see you have a piece of paper no but i
00:31:00.280
did that one off the top of my head wow listen here's the here's the thing is uh you know uh they have
00:31:07.000
to they have to have the last one kind of right otherwise it'd be made fun of you know what i mean yeah
00:31:14.260
so i mean if you're really cynical you'd be like uh pollsters let's show me the last one before the
00:31:20.020
election some pollsters definitely do this i think but the the big the only the big worry you'd have
00:31:25.340
for republicans here is the last two election cycles uh they have the polls have sucked right
00:31:32.240
and everyone's acknowledged they've sucked so at they are some of these people are trying to fix
00:31:38.480
the problems and eventually they probably will fix them they may even over correct the other way and
00:31:43.200
at some point these polls are going to tell us something that's wrong the other way i don't know
00:31:46.900
when that's going to happen i just hope it's not this time because at some point they have an incentive
00:31:50.680
to try to get this right you know the one thing i do know is have a pretty good gut people are not
00:31:56.660
happy yeah they're not thinking this is working i agree so i'm surprised that it's as close as it is
00:32:03.900
quite honestly because in my lifetime this is the clearest example of hey what we're doing is in the
00:32:10.860
wrong direction biggest example ever the best of the glenn beck program
00:32:21.140
you know what this is really bad because this is like the day after we've been up all night
00:32:30.200
usually the show goes off the rails off the rails and for it to happen so early in the day yeah this
00:32:37.520
is bad of a very very long day tomorrow i all bets are off yeah we're screwed uh blake masters is
00:32:45.600
here he is uh the u.s senate candidate in uh arizona blake i want you to know we we all called you
00:32:53.460
as the winner uh today we're betting on you betting i appreciate it glenn thank you great to join you
00:33:01.860
we're feeling great we've got the momentum we just need to seal the deal yeah you've got uh two polls
00:33:06.960
out today that show you ahead uh and you've been campaigning with uh carrie as well and i just can't
00:33:14.680
imagine her you know sweeping up and you not being able to close the deal against the space guy
00:33:21.520
we're gonna send him back to space i think the last four or five polls uh no last four out of five
00:33:29.420
polls that i've seen had me up right so we're peaking at the right time certainly the independents
00:33:34.320
that are crucial are breaking our way and it's no surprise right when people look around they know
00:33:39.200
they're worse off unfortunately hey than they were two years ago when you get into the senate
00:33:45.240
you are going to love mitt romney he said he said last week he tweeted uh red wave is coming
00:33:55.140
and all of the credit goes to mitch mcconnell oh my gosh oh my gosh did they ever bring the money
00:34:04.940
back to you in arizona they ever never not a dime and i try not to be bitter about it you know if i
00:34:11.220
felt entitled to other people's money i'd be like aoc yeah it's a good conservative value to not good for
00:34:17.960
you when mcconnell pulled that money i just said you know what that's his business my job is to win
00:34:24.420
this race with or without mitch mcconnell's money i think we're on track to win without which is just
00:34:28.280
as good in my book oh i think it's even better it's better so um blake um the the how can you do
00:34:35.480
things uh on inflation without passing a budget well i think we can at least put the brakes on
00:34:43.620
inflation right stop the bleeding um when a boat is sinking the first thing to do is plug the holes
00:34:48.080
and make sure you don't take on more water and so just by taking back the house and the senate we
00:34:52.540
can put a stop to biden's demented spending uh i mean he won't be able to get the green new deal
00:34:58.460
passed he won't be able to get built back better we wouldn't have done the quote inflation reduction
00:35:02.940
act to 700 billion dollar tax and spend which is which just was renamed uh you know that that is
00:35:10.920
really the the portions of that are the green new deal and the build back better payment yeah the
00:35:16.720
down payment on the green new deal and so that's crazy we'll put a stop to that you know the other
00:35:21.020
half of inflation is just the the consequence predictable consequence of course of biden's
00:35:27.120
america last energy policies you surrender our energy independence you make war on oil and gas
00:35:32.700
well you're going to make the price of energy go up that makes everything more expensive because
00:35:36.740
everything we need to live of course takes energy to make and to move and so that's going to be harder
00:35:42.180
to put that uh that cat back in the bag we just need to bear hug biden's administration
00:35:46.620
and and basically hold him hostage until he re-implements the very common sensical america
00:35:51.920
first energy policies we know we need can you um help me out on this or yesterday um it was announced
00:35:58.360
that a a letter went out from senator grassley cotton blackburn mike mike lee and marco rubio
00:36:07.520
uh and it went out to 51 of the biggest law firms in the country and uh it's all about esg and
00:36:16.580
basically it says let me quote we're writing you about your firm's uh environmental social and
00:36:23.100
government's practice although businesses would certainly be wise to lawyer up before undertaking
00:36:27.760
esg initiatives your firm has a duty to fully inform clients of the risks they incur
00:36:33.980
by participating in climate cartels and other ill-advised schemes it goes on how they're going
00:36:39.860
to investigate to the extent that your firm continues to advise clients regarding participation in esg
00:36:46.320
initiatives both you and those clients should take care to preserve relevant documents in anticipation
00:36:53.320
of senate investigations will you put your name to that absolutely i think we need to ban esg
00:37:01.160
um and you know it can be slippery the exact details might might be pretty hard but there's a
00:37:06.560
couple ways to to really get our our hooks in here you know i think it arguably violates fiduciary
00:37:12.700
duties to shareholders when you start privileging left-wing social causes over making sure that a
00:37:18.960
business is is making wise economic decisions right um the federal government has a lot to say about
00:37:24.840
where and how pension pension funds are invested and you know we're gonna we're gonna use every bit
00:37:30.760
of leverage we have you can't draft the fortune 1000 in into being this quasi de facto government
00:37:37.340
by getting private you know and so-called private companies to just enforce the left increasingly
00:37:43.980
totalitarian agenda we're just not going to tolerate that in a free society so what do we look for
00:37:50.960
um in tonight's results um where do we where is the where are the counties or what areas of arizona do you
00:38:01.480
look at and say this has got to go well here if this goes well we got it well if uh if we win
00:38:09.660
maricopa county and i think you know if everything goes cleanly we will that's you know that's the
00:38:15.540
bellwether that's going to really suggest republicans are going to sweep statewide in arizona you try to
00:38:20.540
win maricopa or at least fight to a draw we'll lose pima county but uh but hopefully not too badly
00:38:27.140
and then you run up the score in every other county most of which are ruby red the problem
00:38:31.400
right now in maricopa county and i'm just dealing with this uh about 10 to 20 percent of the voting
00:38:36.840
centers the machines aren't working today we just found this out today this morning it's a lot of
00:38:43.400
people a lot of patriots are waiting in line to be told oh hey just uh you know find somewhere else
00:38:47.860
to vote or if you want you can drop your ballot in this black box and it'll be taken downtown and
00:38:52.220
counted later yeah the tabulators aren't working so look i don't want to jump to conclusions i don't
00:38:56.980
know if it's a genuine incompetence or if it's something worse than that but i do know that the
00:39:02.080
democrats are hoping that it demoralizes our voters and people get sick and tired of waiting
00:39:06.800
and just go home so my message to folks in arizona if you haven't voted yet if you're waiting in
00:39:11.260
line uh stay in line stay in line make sure your vote is cast in fact we need to use this to galvanize
00:39:18.460
more turnout pull out your cell phone call everybody you know in arizona get them to a voting center uh
00:39:23.860
take some food take some water we have to stay in line you have to cast those votes that's how we
00:39:28.040
save this country even if they're trying to to play funny business what is the percentage of machines do
00:39:33.460
you know sounds like about 20 of the tabulators or at least some fraction of tabulators at 20 of the
00:39:40.540
sites are not working and you know the the elections officials swear that they tested them yesterday
00:39:45.520
and it's like man i don't know i don't know what to conclude except we have to overwhelm this system
00:39:52.400
we have to just have record turnout we we need everybody to get out and vote stay in line uh make
00:39:59.760
it fun make it celebratory make it festive bring some bring some tunes bring some food but man we we
00:40:05.260
need to overwhelm this uh this glitch yeah hiccups yeah this is the last chance uh well best of luck to
00:40:13.220
you uh blake who's blake masters who's running for the uh the senate for the u.s senate in arizona
00:40:20.360
highly recommend him um he is going to be instrumental in turning things around i believe in washington dc
