and optimistic which is usually a bad sign yep but in this case i don't think it is no i don't

00:01:53.620
you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:02:12.360
well let's get give some obvious news by the way great show today we have uh steve dason who is
00:02:20.380
really optimistic and i i've got some polls and everything else everything is looking
00:02:26.560
like it's not going to be a red wave more like that elevator scene in the shining where it opens up
00:02:33.700
and just the blood comes rushing out uh but we'll we'll usually people don't use that as a positive
00:02:40.680
yeah yeah i know yeah it wasn't really a positive but that's kind of looking like what this election
00:02:46.800
might kind of look like a red wave so to speak um now there is uh the hill has done some research
00:02:56.340
and there's uh there's a new study from populist insights now this is going to come as a shock to
00:03:03.920
you stew so learn learn from this okay somebody paid for this most likely we paid for this study
00:03:11.000
okay in the report's findings they suggest that american popular culture and the desire to fit into it
00:03:18.960
have made had made americans look far more politically extreme than they really are
00:03:25.620
the study uses a clever methodology to measure agreement with statements that people might feel
00:03:32.160
social pressure to reject even in a private online survey differences between stated and privately held
00:03:38.920
opinions were as high as 14 percentage points among americans and soared even higher among certain
00:03:45.240
subgroups millennials who have spearheaded the progressive left in the last decade but recently
00:03:51.500
transitioned from youthful activism to the responsibilities of parenthood are privately more
00:03:58.240
conservative when it comes to education issues three quarters privately believe parents should have
00:04:03.780
more influence in schools curriculums so wait a minute so once they get out of school and they have
00:04:10.300
children they start to look at the world differently now that's crazy i didn't this is why abortion is so
0.75
00:04:19.800
important you know amen brother no wonder they're cheering it on all the time yeah yeah additionally the
00:04:26.060
youngest voters those under 30 are privately rejecting ideals that are frequently associated with their
00:04:33.020
generation just one in four privately believe ceos should take public stances on social issues
00:04:39.980
what's more privately the belief that racism is built into america drops from 65 to 42 percent
00:04:48.680
the way voters including the youngest set privately shy away from the most progressive beliefs
00:04:54.960
may be part of the reason president biden's net approval rating fell seven points during the week in which
00:05:01.020
he announced the wealth redistribution student loan forgiveness plan now the study does say that that doesn't
00:05:08.040
mean that differences don't exist another shocking revelation wow yeah yeah um they say they do but within the safety of an
00:05:22.340
individual's mind almost every issue takes a step away from the accepted view of self-prescribed tribes
00:05:30.100
republicans are less set on overturning roe versus wade and have more reservations about turning the internet
00:05:38.260
into completely unregulated free speech zone now again i would say that there's a lot of nuance that's
00:05:48.500
missing from that section but is that a surprise democrats are less enthusiastic about masking to present
00:05:58.240
prevent the spread of covet 19 and half as likely to think colleges should censor speech
00:06:05.040
hmm that's good news it is right it is good news it to me is common sense and they're saying that maybe the
00:06:17.040
polls are wrong because some people have felt that they might be ostracized from society if they actually say
00:06:26.420
how they're going to vote well i mean look the the polls are i think very much favoring republicans
00:06:32.340
at the moment i know everyone likes to bash the polls but they're showing good gains at this point
00:06:37.140
maybe the polls are right right uh and it's interesting because i think like this is where i am with this too
00:06:43.220
you mentioned the companies for example yeah it's like i really don't think that people would say what's the
00:06:48.580
problem with these companies all these woke companies are killing us i don't actually think that's true
00:06:53.580
the problem is not that ben and jerry's wants to set sell ice cream to anti-semites
00:07:00.400
if it's not it's not a problem i mean that is a problem but the general overall problem
00:07:06.720
is uh they they do want to they do want to sign uh uh you know they want to shut down basically
00:07:12.400
israel completely that's a whole that is a major problem but like pat you know we talked about this
0.99
00:07:16.220
a long time ago patagonia is a company that yeah really has it has an identity and they come out and
00:07:21.260
they say you know what we're about the environment we're about environmentalism buy our crap if you
00:07:24.700
like that that i have no problem with that what i have a problem with is you're evil if you don't
00:07:31.420
agree with us and don't buy our product and in addition to that yeah the company that isn't
00:07:38.240
ideological that actually isn't a left-wing company being pressured into taking all these left-wing
00:07:45.080
stands because of things like esg right so a lot of these companies you do talk to the executives
00:07:50.540
we've had some of them on who say i was there and all this crap was going on and nobody agreed
00:07:55.220
with it but we had to do it because of this you know bank and this investor in this uh you know
00:08:00.300
scenario and that's like pressuring i think a lot of these companies that are just normal companies
00:08:05.320
that want to sell crap into turning into left-wing companies there are some companies that start with
00:08:11.360
a with a mission of being a left-wing company just like you know patriot mobile starts with a mission
00:08:16.700
a mission of being a conservative christian company uh you know yeah we see that all the time yeah
00:08:22.760
that's not the problem the problem is these normal companies that get won over by this stuff
00:08:27.680
and pressured into it and that's you know you don't see hobby lobby coming out and saying
00:08:33.060
and we don't want you if you're not a christian we don't want you to buy your art supplies or your
00:08:40.700
fabrics right or anything like that never say that they never say that they never say why would
00:08:46.900
they right you'd think there'd be no justification just be who you are and leave everybody else alone
00:08:55.360
uh by the way speaking of just the opposite uh we now know what is happening at the department of
00:09:02.860
justice and the targeting for the what is it are we up to 26 pro-life individuals that have been
00:09:10.200
charged with a face act now we're up to 26 christian clark christian clark the assistant attorney general
00:09:18.400
for the civil rights at the department of justice uh she is the one she's a vocal abortion proponent
0.97
00:09:26.020
she's the one who uh is leading all of this now she that's high-ranking doj um and uh she's you know
0.99
00:09:37.500
it's weird that she that she actually got that job um she um has called the alliance defending freedom
0.96
00:09:45.100
a hate group liberty university fundamentalist christian school she has said that those protesting
00:09:52.160
anthony fauci should be publicly identified and named and barred from any treatment at any public
00:10:00.760
hospital if and when they fall ill and denied coverage under their insurance what happened to
00:10:07.080
the days of universal health care and unbelievable she has hurled insults at republican politicians from
0.98
00:10:14.260
murkowski oh that radical right winger lisa murkowski oh yeah she's voting for the democrat right here in
0.99
00:10:21.060
the congressional race but absolutely what a radical she supported the allegations of christine blazy
0.91
00:10:26.700
ford she submitted testimony to the senate that amy coney barrett was unfit to serve because she would
1.00
00:10:32.860
likely rule to overturn roe versus wade um she also has uh critiqued pro-life laws and courts that
00:10:41.780
upheld them uh branding law protecting down syndrome babies she said that was draconian
00:10:48.560
hmm so hmm she calls the pro-life pregnancy centers predatory and fake clinics and are part of the
00:11:01.020
coordinated strategy to tear down row this is who is running the civil rights office at the doj by the
00:11:11.060
way she went to harvard where she argued in 1994 um to the student newspaper that black people
0.81
00:11:18.540
have greater mental physical and spiritual abilities than white people
0.99
00:11:23.800
huh she she also um was um passing around the essay that was defending a cop killer and comparing the
00:11:36.220
police to the clan were we still in the good news segment here i'm sorry oh i'm sorry yeah no well
00:11:42.420
here's the good news on this one we know who it is now we know who it is hmm we may be
00:11:48.420
stretching the definition of good news that is the first hey we know who damer is we know the guy
00:11:53.780
likes to eat laotian teenagers it's better than saying why are these heads in this refrigerator
0.81
00:11:58.840
it is slightly better not much better for the laotian teenagers all right okay okay how about this
00:12:06.560
john stewart has just come out in his new show that apparently is on exists um he uh he says
00:12:15.780
hunter biden's ukrainian business is corruption straight up off the bat he did a segment on his
00:12:24.920
show about hunter biden he said now it's a stretch to tie it to his dad no it's not um but he said
00:12:31.800
we didn't pay attention to this laptop and this is corrupt what's going on is corruption so that's
00:12:38.300
some good news some okay some good news so once john stewart has reached i've got really good news
00:12:44.400
later i just want to make sure i understand since john stewart has reached the point where he's no
00:12:48.120
longer relevant to anyone he's now occasionally saying things that make sense okay all right why
00:12:53.180
do you have to no i'm just i want to make sure i understand the little black rain cloud that's my
00:12:57.960
gosh uh okay how about this one okay oscar winning actor now i was really skeptical about this but hear
00:13:05.860
starting poorly poorly it's gonna get worse okay oscar winning actor tim robbins okay all right
00:13:16.180
is criticizing two actors unions for what he says are discriminatory covet 19 vaccine policies no okay it
00:13:25.220
is way past time to end your discriminatory policies um robin said uh a new york judge ruled that all
00:13:32.620
unvaccinated new york city employees are reinstated their full employment entitled back pay and salary
00:13:37.840
from the date of termination okay so other people uh have joined in on this and he says i'm ready to
00:13:45.240
have a conversation with my attorney uh on uh why i'm paying the dues and you are prohibiting me from
00:13:53.020
working this isn't the but this isn't the best part this is actually putting his money where maybe his
00:13:58.660
mouth is there was an article that came out yesterday on tim robbins that said i have been a
00:14:06.000
fool i have been so divisive in the past and me being quarantined in in for covid has made me rethink
00:14:17.100
everything he said now it doesn't mean that he has switched sides or anything right he's just said
00:14:23.500
i've been divisive and we're not going to get anywhere if we shut each other down
00:14:29.100
we have to have conversations i i'm i can't believe i'm saying this i'm going to invite him
00:14:36.360
i don't do it but i'm going to invite him for the podcast really yeah because i remember he said some
00:14:42.160
things about you back in the day oh no he has not was not a fan oh no he's not no and no and i'm not
00:14:47.560
asking him to be a fan no i'm asking him to have a civil conversation yeah and he should be i mean
00:14:52.760
everyone should be able to do that that's a very basic human thing that people do when they disagree
00:14:57.860
uh and it's interesting too because i don't know his history on the vaccine stuff but of course that
00:15:02.760
was uh you know a it was largely a left-wing movement for a long time you know people who
00:15:07.240
were critical of vaccines that was kind of on the left for a very long time and you know there was
00:15:12.180
there's a there was a story about a county in in california where it was the leading county for
00:15:16.820
anti-vaccine sort of stuff where they just didn't like it and you know look if you don't like
00:15:20.980
whatever i don't care you do what you want to do but it was one of the it was where the percentage
00:15:25.000
was highest in the country big left-wing country county it was like you know overwhelmingly democrat
00:15:30.240
they've all switched now the the whole county has switched from anti-vaccine to if you do not have
00:15:36.900
the vaccine you're a bad person oh you're kidding it's like the whole county in the last two years
00:15:41.400
has switched completely from the hotbed of anti-vaccine back activity to now the opposite the
00:15:48.120
complete opposite everything you'd see on msnbc or right out of anthony fauci's mouth
00:15:52.640
unbelievable i mean this is just unbelievable one of the most fascinating political developments
00:15:57.260
honestly that's the fetterman thing you know he raised i think two million dollars after that
00:16:02.780
performance after that performance two million dollars came pouring in i mean there may part of
00:16:08.980
that might be people looked at and said holy crap let's give him some money maybe he can run some
00:16:12.780
ads because that's going to be i don't know what it is but he did comment on it uh yesterday he said
00:16:18.100
have you ever had a dreams that that you um you had you you you you could you do you you want
00:16:28.740
you you could do so you you do you could you you you want you want him to do you so much you could
00:16:36.120
do anything yeah so i think i didn't think about that actually that's not a bad argument i know i know
00:16:41.460
i know and don't press him on that no okay hater i mean i really have good news and not not right
00:16:46.640
now but i have really good news coming up and a lot of it this again the shining
00:16:55.240
bing elevator doors kind of a red wave some might call it a bloodbath i just say red wave um now
00:17:06.660
i want i want you to hear this story from the hill democrats are second guessing the decision
00:17:13.880
to put pennsylvania state senate nominee john fetterman on the debate stage no after a stumbling
00:17:20.740
performance that put the spotlight on his condition after a stroke the state lieutenant
00:17:26.340
governor's auditory processing uh problems resulting from a stroke proved to be a major part of the
00:17:32.340
debate just two weeks before the election fetterman had a number of awkward pauses and stumbles did he i
00:17:39.940
didn't even notice that listen that are sure to be seized upon by the gop gop is gonna pounce on
0.93
00:17:46.880
this aren't they right so they're gonna always do this take the video and play it saying he's not
00:17:54.980
capable of holding the job this isn't about the gop listen to this fetterman's team never should have
0.77
00:18:01.880
agreed to this debate he clearly has serious health issues okay wait a minute that's a democratic
00:18:08.860
operative he should have they should have never agreed to the debate because he clearly has serious
00:18:17.660
health issues no that's not the debate he shouldn't be running he clearly has i mean listen you can't
00:18:25.800
pretend you didn't see what you saw you can't wish or explain it away you have to dig in and deal with it
00:18:31.240
it's gonna mean we're gonna have to turn up the heat on oz what no
00:18:43.380
steve how are you doing my man i'm good brother how are you well i'm pretty good i'm always better
00:18:54.460
when i talk to you uh at least this time around because i'm usually the merchant of death that
00:19:01.960
just this is just really throwing me off but i know i mean you're giving me a lot of hope here
00:19:06.980
and so i want you to sing bird sing uh tell me what you think is happening in this uh election and what
00:19:15.680
you see as uh the outcome well to quote uh the great prophet emperor palpatine this is all
00:19:23.400
proceeding exactly as i have foreseen it yeah i wouldn't right when we when we got together two weeks
00:19:29.060
ago i i told you that i for our special here on blaze tv the wednesday night special on the election i
00:19:34.260
told you that i saw three factors that we're going to take this beyond a wave to a tsunami now what's a
00:19:39.640
wave traditional wave elections in midterms the party that won the presidency um their base is more
00:19:45.900
fired up the other side's base i should say is more fired up and then swing voters in the suburbs
00:19:50.300
are either annoyed or the economy is not going well and they swing you know one way or the other
00:19:55.860
that's a traditional wave election like what the democrats had in 2018 etc what we are looking at here
00:20:01.760
is a convergence of three outlier factors number one trump's rural maga base like in a state like where
00:20:08.180
i live iowa glenn we had 33 counties that voted for obama once or twice that voted for trump twice
00:20:14.400
and that and and so a lot of us did the work on the ground in iowa to turn it from a blue to lean
00:20:19.320
red state trump made it a solidly red state and in places like iowa those rural maga counties that are
00:20:25.880
not necessarily republican counties but they are staying in the republican fold despite not having a
00:20:31.420
having trump to vote for that's number one all right number two um we are looking at record low
00:20:36.980
turnout uh of blacks across the country uh and if you want to know how much that matters look at
00:20:42.500
wisconsin in 2016 everybody says hillary lost that state because she never visited it and that's partly
00:20:48.360
true what's mainly true is that there were 20 000 fewer black voters in milwaukee county in 2016 than
00:20:54.480
there were in 2012 for obama and that was almost the entirety of trump's margin of victory in the state
00:20:59.360
right there so hillary still got 91 percent of the black vote everybody always looks at the size of the
00:21:05.080
slice of the pie it's not the size of the slice of the pipeline the size of the pie all right black
00:21:10.060
turnout is down economically they've been crushed by democratic policies and culturally they are just
00:21:15.280
not down with the trans agenda and what's a girl and woman so but you're not down with that but you do
0.94
00:21:21.520
have uh an all of government program to get people registered and to get out to vote now that's not you
00:21:30.120
know they're not equally looking for that that white farmer they are trying to get and boost the vote
00:21:38.220
uh for the democrats and that's an all of government with i don't even know how many hundreds of millions
00:21:45.120
or billions of dollars that have been spent in just the last two years for this correct but if you look
00:21:51.440
at states that have high black democrat voter populations california florida i'm hearing from little
00:21:56.200
birdies of mine on the ground there early voting numbers are way down in those communities um and
00:22:01.900
then and you can see that in biden's almost record low approval for a democrat with black voters
00:22:06.860
now because of historical divisions those black voters are not yet prepared to migrate positively to
00:22:13.140
the gop that's not the case with hispanic voters and and so this gets us to the third factor i think
00:22:18.700
we're looking at a record migration of hispanic voters that are not just going to be a depressed
1.00
00:22:24.200
block because they're upset with democrats but affirmatively move into the republican column
00:22:29.120
and i'll i'll just give you one example that i saw this morning connecticut district five
00:22:32.980
is a district that even in a year when republicans picked up 14 house seats in 2020 uh democrats won
00:22:39.260
that seat by 11.5 points it has a 21 percent hispanic vote in connecticut five that's a i mean that's like
00:22:46.020
40 percent higher than the hispanic population nationwide right so a large hispanic block here pull out of
00:22:53.000
that district just came out this morning that had the republican candidate ahead now i don't know if
00:22:57.220
the republican candidate can win connecticut five but if democrats are defending connecticut five
00:23:02.340
then that just goes to show you um what is cataclysmically happening across the country
00:23:07.680
and i'm going to make a prediction right now for your audience when you and i are anchoring blaze tv's
00:23:12.760
election night coverage here so i'll hold you accountable i'll blame you i'll blame you in your optimistic
0.59
00:23:19.060
spirit that you just tubed all of this and put a jinx on it if you don't get this right i don't
00:23:25.200
do optimism i just do what i see right so people know that um when we're sitting here on election
00:23:30.920
night when we get ready to sign off on on 12 days from now here on blaze tv when you and i sign off
00:23:35.800
we will be talking about the possibility that every gen major gen x figure in the democratic party other
00:23:42.120
than gavin newsom was just wiped out of office wow i'm talking i'm talking every every major current
00:23:50.220
when you think of people they are grooming for national office but the gretchen whitmers etc of
1.00
00:23:54.700
the world that that almost every one of them that was up for election or re-election in this campaign
00:24:00.240
in this cycle that are known entities almost all their gen x leadership except for gavin newsom wiped
00:24:06.480
out by the time you and i sign off on it's amazing because they already had a terrible bench
00:24:10.500
if they lose all these people i don't know where they would go and we are gaining really amazing
00:24:17.500
people yeah um that's where they go so so you're expecting i mean uh with the republicans uh they have
00:24:29.140
eight gubernatorial seats democrats have six gubernatorial seats that are not up for uh re-election
00:24:35.360
you see the democrats uh what gaining i think i think right well right now what's funny is real
00:24:44.000
clear politics is beginning to catch up with me now um and i think it's because about two weeks ago
00:24:49.580
real clear politics announced basically uh a polling integrity project in 2000 and and so i i this is for
00:24:57.080
my man stew who's sitting next to you okay because i i i empathize with stew i am my name is steve i'm a
00:25:03.720
recovering mainstream polling addict okay and i have a problem okay and and so i i had to wean myself
00:25:10.420
off of this uh and here's what can do that actual data in 2020 guys the national and keep in mind this
00:25:16.600
is a presidential election with with two candidates that have a hundred percent name id everybody knows
00:25:21.940
them they're cemented and it's a higher turnout election should be easier to actually pull that
00:25:26.580
than a lower turnout midterm in 2020 the polls that made up the real clear politics polling average
00:25:31.620
were off on the national race by an average of almost five points well outside the margin for
00:25:36.620
error the state battleground state polling was off even worse than that so if they were that far off
00:25:42.460
in a high turnout high name i the highest name id election maybe in american history between joe biden
00:25:48.160
and donald trump where are they with fluctuations of smaller demographics and smaller turnouts in
00:25:54.280
midterms and i think real clear politics two weeks ago started looking at the integrity of its own
00:25:59.100
polling average and lo and behold once they did that their forecast started looking a lot like mine
00:26:04.180
yeah their forecast we were just going over it their forecast now is is a shockingly uh optimistic
00:26:11.220
exact i mean it it is it reads very close to yours there's no point in reading anything that any
00:26:17.700
polling that is done and aggregated by 538 at this point nate silver has just decided to suck at his gig
00:26:24.460
or got bought off none of that makes any difference you have to follow basically four or five polls
00:26:29.360
on a national level that have proven they can identify the maga or trump vote in this and they're
00:26:35.220
not all rasmussen and trafalgar places like investors business daily uh and emerson college have shown
00:26:41.560
they're very good at it i would urge audiences that want to follow polling to look at their outlets
00:26:45.900
on a state level there's a few more because you have a few more that are local that haven't completely
00:26:50.480
given themselves over yet and then you have to look at the environment and you have to you have
00:26:55.040
to understand when we're seeing situations with historically hispanic border counties that have
00:27:01.260
held out of joining republicans in a state like texas that that has been red since ann richards was
00:27:06.880
retired so we're talking almost an entire generation now and they have held out blue blue blue blue blue
00:27:12.480
when they suddenly go red it's not because they're conforming to some texas red state cultural identity
00:27:18.240
something they've held out through all of that something new has occurred that has prompted
00:27:22.940
this and i and i think what's happening with hispanics here is similar to what happened with
00:27:27.600
black voters from 1948 to 1964 in 19 or in 1948 harry truman upset thomas dewey because we didn't pull
00:27:36.560
black voters back then and he desegregated the military and got a record amount of black voters almost
00:27:41.600
40 percent that was really his margin of victory and then in 1964 after kennedy called mlk
00:27:47.200
and and then lbj did the great society and the voting rights and civil rights act that was that
00:27:51.860
completed the migration of black voters from republican to democrat black voters right now have
00:27:57.320
swiped right on their phones they're looking i'm sorry hispanic voters are particularly gen x and
00:28:01.740
younger with families they're assimilated they don't want any more drug mules from el salvador
1.00
00:28:05.920
coming to the country they don't want any more fentanyl coming in they left those countries to get
00:28:09.920
away from those elements they are interested in the republican party message they're going to vote in a
00:28:14.980
wave for republicans this fall that generation will and then what will happen moving forward is
00:28:20.400
just like lbj consummated that marriage with blacks by delivering policy that they wanted like the voting
00:28:26.520
rights act republicans if they do that with hispanics if they if they don't chuckle follow through on their
0.77
00:28:32.140
promises like carry lake to declare an invasion if they follow through on we're cracking down on crime
00:28:37.720
meaningfully all right we're going to get rid of the groomer stuff in the school my buddy of mine is
00:28:42.080
doing hispanic outreach on the ground in a major battleground state so that's the number one swing
00:28:46.640
issue for hispanic voters that right there all right if they follow through on those things they have a
00:28:52.260
chance with gen x and millennial hispanics to consummate a generational marriage but they but they have
1.00
00:28:59.140
to deliver for them after the election glenn like lbj did for blacks yeah that's the problem with
00:29:04.960
republicans so uh boy the democrats are really reeling from uh fetterman although he raised about two
00:29:12.380
million dollars after the debate uh which just is shocking to me um what do you think is going to
00:29:20.040
happen in pennsylvania i think we have to get outside the margin of cheating or chicanery yeah and i think
0.98
00:29:27.440
we are approaching it in fact i think we have approached it so um so really cosmically here
00:29:34.700
we're looking at whether lee zeldin is now outside the margin of cheating that they couldn't even shall
00:29:39.100
we say fortify the election in new york state um i don't really follow and don't i would urge audiences
00:29:45.120
to not care too much about how much money democratic candidates raise along these lines they are out
00:29:51.100
spending sometimes 10 to 1 and it's not making a difference no it doesn't make a difference i mean
00:29:56.940
john ossoff for example wasn't even when he ran in that special election against karen handle in
00:30:01.240
georgia a few years ago he didn't even live in that district he got to 1 million uh donors before
00:30:06.680
barack obama even did in his first presidential race i mean they have a very cultic following
00:30:11.000
they donate and it's very strong they don't donate to the dnc so it also doesn't matter that the rnc
00:30:16.660
outrages the dnc they donate directly to their candidates and their causes out of pocket and since a
00:30:22.180
lot of them work very opulent jobs or subsidy jobs don't have as many children as we do
00:30:26.640
they've got a lot more discretionary spending and so i think the pennsylvania senate race ended
00:30:31.980
this week i think the question actually becomes whether there is enough of a of a tsunami there
00:30:38.840
that now it carries doug mastriano over the finish line over the objection of carl rove who is actually
00:30:44.260
funding the tv ads for the democrats how is that why why is he doing that who he's always he's who he's
00:30:50.980
always been this is not new i just think we didn't want to pay attention to certain things for the
00:30:55.140
last 20 years but this is what is his reason how is he coming out and saying it what is he saying
00:30:59.920
about this it's insane because the the this is the people that run the republican party or are on
00:31:07.380
their way to no longer running it the way things are trending these are people that would rather
00:31:12.000
lose to democrats than lose control to your audience glenn that's why true this is this is this is why in
00:31:18.680
two presidential runs mit romney and john mccain said worse things about their republican candidates in
00:31:24.140
their primaries than they ever did their democratic opponents when they got into the general election
00:31:27.640
i mean you can you are in politics the hills you're willing to die on and those you are willing to take
00:31:33.660
out that really ultimately defines who you are and so you know he can do all the white boards on fox
00:31:39.160
news that he wants but in the end you are um who you're willing to take out and and the fact that
00:31:43.960
having josh shapiro as the governor of pennsylvania um is more preferable to carl rove tells you all you need to
00:31:51.820
know yeah well i i never if i'm not mistaken i never had carl rove on at uh fox i'm trying to
00:31:59.300
remember i'm not often if it was not often at all and that was one of the problems is i i had more
00:32:05.600
problems from the right uh pushing uh roger ailes because i would take on the republicans whoa whoa
00:32:13.600
come on glenn just don't and i was i was told you know you're you know what your problem is you won't
00:32:19.560
play the game no i won't i won't because it's not a game it's not a game it's a losing it's a losing
00:32:25.880
game now and we're playing we're playing for what's called civilization now there we're literally voting
00:32:31.040
for sanity this year literally that's literally what we're voting for is are we a sane people or not
00:32:38.400
that is literally the main issue on the ballot every definable thing of a civilization that you
00:32:44.520
could imagine has been destroyed deconstructed warped we are literally voting on whether we
00:32:51.020
are still a sane and rational people i mean just just as an example what happens when you go insane
00:32:55.920
we've been fighting this alleged war against putin here since february right so the the new adam
00:33:01.680
kinzinger prime minister because they tried mit romney that didn't work they went to lisa murkowski that
0.89
00:33:06.060
didn't work so now they're going to try adam kinzinger as the prime minister over there in the uk
00:33:10.060
he's going to announce later today a fracking ban so let me get this straight we are standing up to
00:33:15.100
putin by giving him more dominion over the world's energy supply help me understand that but we did
00:33:20.400
that with our own domestic production the eu already did it uk is now about to do it that is literally
00:33:26.300
insane absolutely we used to have to tell governments during wars glenn not to strip mine
00:33:31.960
their resources okay now we have to tell them to use them glenn okay this is insane it is we have we
00:33:39.060
have gone absolutely nuts hey steve before you go um i want to ask you about the michigan race you
00:33:43.780
were that was the one state you were a little skeptical on the organization up there and what
00:33:47.600
was going to happen in michigan what do you do are you optimistic on michigan now i am optimistic on
00:33:53.140
michigan i think that what has happened there is tudor's performance in the very first debate um
00:33:59.200
and and and the way that she catalyzed issues there yeah the way and the way that that i think
1.00
00:34:05.820
she's being outspent up there she told me last week like 20 to 1 all right but the way that she
00:34:11.460
catalyzed those issues that were there that was probably a 50 million dollar level appearance if
00:34:17.960
we translated that into campaign dollars and and now you're looking you're looking at michigan this
00:34:22.760
is a state by the way where almost as many union households voted in 2020 as white evangelicals
00:34:28.360
um and whitmer won by 10 points in 2018 when she first got elected and i just mentioned tudor's
00:34:35.340
not spent about 20 to 1 on tv i think if the election in michigan were held today i think
00:34:40.240
that she would win yeah real clear politics just said she's going to win she's going to be on with
00:34:44.240
me in uh about uh half an hour um by the way uh hang on over the break because i i have some more
00:34:51.460
things to talk to you about including your your number one children's book on thanksgiving which i am
00:34:56.360
so grateful for so grateful for thank you for that um do you think um i just did an hour-long uh sit down
00:35:04.360
with uh carrie lake i really like her and i think she's the real deal what's your take on her
00:35:10.460
whenever carrie lake comes on tv two things come to mind and you know i'm a pop culture buff number
00:35:15.600
one that scene in the um it's a wonderful life when violet walks down the street wearing that dress
00:35:21.740
yeah yeah that's the first thing that comes to mind and then bert says i gotta go home and see what
00:35:26.140
the wife's doing right and the second thing is um randy the score of the natural she is a natural
00:35:32.060
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:35:39.020
tudor dixon welcome to the program thank you thank you for having me it is uh it is great to talk to
00:35:50.080
uh and you are killing it uh up in uh in a place where i i'm shocked i'm shocked that uh whitmer a is
0.89
00:36:01.980
competitive and then at the same time i'm shocked that uh anybody can beat her um because i just feel
00:36:09.060
like i feel like the whole country has been hypnotized or half of the country has been hypnotized
00:36:13.180
and they just don't see things clearly anymore um well they continue to try to hypnotize have you
00:36:20.760
see what happened in the debate she stood on the debate stage and looked straight into the camera and
00:36:27.240
said she's attacking me my opponent is attacking me for shutting down schools schools in michigan
00:36:32.180
were shut down for three months schools in michigan were shut down for almost two years it's outrageous
00:36:37.880
to think that she can just gaslight the entire state but she can't so parents today are outraged
00:36:44.960
that she would have the nerve to look directly in their eyes i mean when you look in the camera you're
00:36:50.520
looking directly in the eyes of the parents of michigan and saying what happened to you didn't
00:36:55.000
happen do you think that they think they're jedis yes yes but i i don't think they are yeah no i don't
00:37:04.420
think so either um so what happened with uh schools the reading writing math all of this stuff that
00:37:13.220
was destroyed because of the lockdowns um really bad in michigan but then on top of it you add the
00:37:21.880
gender theory and everything else schools make no sense anymore i think it's great that you brought
00:37:29.640
that up because she made a comment in the debate it was so belittling to parents who think that these
00:37:35.780
books are a danger to their kids and she looked at me and she said um my opponent thinks that books are
00:37:42.800
more dangerous than guns i think that is the most shameful comment because we should look at all dangers
00:37:50.160
for our kids we shouldn't belittle one parent's concern over the others and we have a problem with
00:37:57.380
guns but she doesn't do anything about it we had a school shooting in michigan she said she thought
00:38:04.240
we should have a discussion so how how much does she want to keep our kids safe we have a problem
0.62
00:38:10.020
with books in the school these these books in our schools are absolutely horrific they are genuinely
00:38:17.200
teaching kids how to have sex and she laughs about it she belittles that she mocks the parents
00:38:23.160
who are saying this is a problem and stephen colbert does the same thing well he has a show on and he
00:38:29.620
says you know this this isn't happening parents don't say this how how bizarre that these politicians
00:38:35.720
are saying this is a problem you know what keep saying it because parents are sick and tired of being
00:38:41.580
manipulated and embarrassed and belittled by politicians who don't care about them i i agree with
00:38:49.120
you a hundred percent and i can't this is why i say i can't believe that the race is competitive
00:38:55.760
in some ways because if we were talking 10 years ago even democrats would have said no no no no no no
00:39:03.440
this is crazy this is just a few elite that have somehow or another galvanized their believers
00:39:12.220
around them into this religion where you can't question anything and uh as a parent once you
00:39:19.880
cross into my kids and you're screwing with my kids that that's a line that you're just not going
00:39:27.200
to cross i'm not going to let you cross it but look gretchen whitmer and joe biden they believe the
00:39:32.660
same things it's the biden whitmer politics you saw joe biden sitting down with someone who's mocking
00:39:38.400
young women for playing jokes and mocking tampons and and mocking how little girls act and they
1.00
00:39:46.300
obviously think that it is a joke to say that young girls are silly and and that anybody can be a little
00:39:53.980
girl and you have that going on you have this situation where they're trying to push this sex
0.99
00:39:59.760
and gender on kids and we're saying we want a florida style bill in the state of michigan where we're not
00:40:04.660
going to talk about sex and gender from kindergarten to third grade and you will not hear that out of
00:40:10.940
the democrats you will not hear that from gretchen whitmer she was very clear on the debate stage the
0.95
00:40:15.840
other night when i said we want to know where gretchen whitmer stands on this and she made it clear that
0.96
00:40:20.800
she does not think it's an issue and it's not she's not going to do anything about it well it's one of
00:40:25.520
the top issues that i hear across the state of michigan you and you do you noted the test scores
00:40:31.180
michigan just had the greatest drop in test scores we've ever seen we are now the ninth worst
00:40:37.780
in the nation we are in the bottom 10 in the nation for education and she is out there bragging
00:40:44.380
that she is the governor for students it's a it's a travesty what's happening she in 2019 she was
00:40:52.180
actually sued by students in detroit for a civil rights violation because they said they did not have
00:40:57.560
access to literacy that's how bad it is in the state of michigan and she stands on the debate stage
00:41:03.740
looks into the camera with a smirk and tells you what happened to you didn't really happen
00:41:08.280
so let me ask you um and change kind of change the subject a bit what what is uh proposal three
00:41:16.120
it's on the it's on the ballot and it's about sterilizing children without parental consent right
00:41:23.700
yes so this is another thing that she lied about it is a she she will stand up on the stage and say
1.00
00:41:31.640
that this is just bringing back row to the state of michigan it is absolutely not you're right
00:41:37.240
what it does the language is written so that first of all every every law that we have surrounding
00:41:42.480
abortion on the books in michigan is null and void so this is this is new constitutional language so it's
00:41:49.340
it would be placed into the constitution and it's the most radical abortion law in the country only
00:41:55.800
the only other places that have a law like this are china and north korea but it does allow what
00:42:01.180
you're saying because the way it is written is that an individual has the right to do whatever they
00:42:06.780
want what when it comes to sterilization reproduction all of these different things which and and it also
00:42:13.460
says you don't have to have parental consent so we used to have a law that said a minor would have
00:42:19.780
to have parental consent to have an abortion this says a minor needs no parental consent for abortion
0.67
00:42:25.340
or sterilization so it would allow a minor to get puberty blockers without their parents knowing
00:42:30.100
it also says that it doesn't have to be a doctor that would perform an abortion there's also abortion up
0.94
00:42:35.920
to the moment of birth abortion for any reason including sex selection there's no reason it's it's no
00:42:41.820
limits abortion in the state of michigan and they will lie to your face about what it actually is but
00:42:47.460
if you read the proposal it is very clear that these that the laws that are on the books will no longer
00:42:53.840
be there and that you have zero limits on abortion in the state of michigan is this well known that this
00:43:01.420
proposal do people in michigan understand it that's the question we i we have we know that there are a lot
00:43:11.160
of people out there that are door knocking they're trying to give out pamphlets they're trying to
00:43:15.200
explain it because of course the way they write these is so that you you know you're the average
00:43:19.780
person you read it and you go oh well maybe that's not that bad and the democrats are out there saying
00:43:25.200
oh it's it's exactly row it's it's everything you know we're just keeping the status quo which it's not
00:43:30.680
but you have to remember that it's very suspicious because at the same time as you're trying to put a
00:43:35.840
proposal on the ballot that would allow this you have the michigan department of ed teaching a
00:43:41.760
training to teachers saying we want when kids come into school this year ask them their gender ask
00:43:47.660
them their pronouns ask them ask them their name and then don't tell their parents and if they want to
00:43:53.400
learn how to transition talk to them about that without talking to mom and dad so can can i ask you
00:43:58.600
do you are you seeing people on the campaign trail that are like look i i don't normally vote for
00:44:05.720
republican but this has got to end it's very interesting because michigan has a very large
00:44:12.520
muslim population that has historically always voted democrat and we were at an event just a few days ago
00:44:18.740
and a man came up to me and he said to me i've always voted democrat i found this stuff in our schools
00:44:25.340
and i was outraged and he said i went to our democrat elected officials and said you got to
00:44:31.240
get this out of the schools and he said they called me a racist and they called me a bigot
00:44:35.460
he said i'm not even it's not even that i'm just a democrat he said a few weeks ago i was a democrat
00:44:42.160
running for office he said i am no longer running for office as a democrat and i will never vote democrat
00:44:49.340
again now that i've been treated this way he said for my life here in this country i've always
00:44:54.760
been a devoted democrat and for them to look at me and call me a bigot and a racist because i don't
00:45:00.580
want my children to be reading books about how to have sex in middle school i just he was shocked
00:45:07.620
and and that's the interesting thing is so our our muslim population has historically voted democrat
00:45:13.760
and he said i'm talking to all my friends about voting republican because at the end of the day he said
00:45:20.140
no matter what issue there is out there my kids are going to be my number one issue always and it's
00:45:25.340
not just that in michigan you have this going on but obviously we see inflation we see what's going on
00:45:30.880
in the country with higher prices and we see that we have a governor here who is very
00:45:39.880
very much into the biden whitmer politics and she is trying to shut down a pipeline in the state of
0.75
00:45:47.540
michigan so we're also looking at inflation and rising energy costs and rising gas prices and we
00:45:52.420
have some of the highest gas prices in the entire country we are at almost 420 a gallon now for gas
00:46:00.040
and this is a governor who tried to implement implement a 45 cents a gallon gas tax so imagine
00:46:05.800
if she's gotten her way we'd be even higher what michigan is going through right now is outrageous but
00:46:11.820
every time we hit her on this stuff the democrats come in and give her a bunch more money so i would
1.00
00:46:17.520
ask your listeners to go to tutordixon.com and help us out um so tutor what what are the things
00:46:23.940
give me the first three things that you want to get done right away i want to make sure that we get
00:46:30.960
our kids back on track because as you heard our kids are so behind in education so we want to get
00:46:35.640
tutoring into our schools wait wait wait how are you going to do that with the teachers unions which
00:46:41.600
i think are the biggest problem they them and their money is the biggest problem in fixing our schools
00:46:48.320
and michigan has a very strong union she has been endorsed by the unions they put a lot of money into
00:46:54.600
the democrat governors association and they've run 23 million probably now 25 million in ads against me
00:47:02.220
so we know that's a problem and and think about that 25 million in ads against me and we have had
00:47:08.200
a very limited budget i heard you saying that not everybody has been embraced by the gop i've you know
00:47:14.140
we've had we've struggled to prove to people that we can do this and now i think we've finally proven
00:47:19.200
that we can and we have people coming on board but we need more people and that's why i ask that
00:47:24.140
people go to tutordixon.com but i will say you're right the teachers union is tough we have to work with
00:47:29.580
them and say we want to hire retired teachers and not have this affect their right their retirement
00:47:35.280
program but bring people in there is there is no bigger failure than robbing our kids of an education
00:47:42.840
that's why that lawsuit existed with children suing the governor saying that their civil rights had been
00:47:48.340
violated because there's no bigger travesty than robbing a child of their education and leaving them
00:47:53.820
illiterate because you end up having you you can't get a job what is your future yeah you have slaves
00:47:59.480
it's a terrible situation and in michigan we end up honestly you can predict your person population
00:48:07.260
by your literacy rate so if you rob your children of a an education and the ability to read then you
00:48:13.820
can guarantee that you're going to have to figure out how to manage crime and right now we're seeing
00:48:18.420
rising crime rates michigan has risen in crime more than most other states and another thing that
00:48:24.220
she's not addressing but of course because she went out and marched with the people that held up the
0.51
00:48:28.480
defund the police signs she said she supports the spirit of defund the police so now not only has
00:48:34.400
she failed our kids but she's failed our public to our communities our public safety and that's the
00:48:40.100
second thing so we want to get education back on track we want to get tutors in the schools and then we
00:48:45.440
want to actually fund our police officers we have a plan to put a billion new dollars into policing
00:48:50.340
to recruit and retain police to bring them to the state of michigan or to rise folks up from their
00:48:55.400
own communities and have them join the police force to bring pride back to that profession
00:49:00.900
and make sure that we keep our community safe and then our last thing is to reduce regulations
00:49:06.940
where our economic development is in shambles in the state of michigan and the main reason is it's
00:49:12.480
just too hard to do business here yeah democrats want to over regulate everything yeah tutor i um i
