00:00:05.960
Big show for you today on the podcast. You're going to love it.
00:00:08.960
We start with what's happening really in Saudi Arabia.
00:00:12.500
You know, everybody loves this. Oh, he's a Washington Post reporter.
00:00:15.540
He was a great guy. Really? The guy that probably was hacked to death by the Saudis.
00:00:20.980
We're going to tell you the part of the story that nobody knows.
00:00:25.600
It just kind of makes it more like bad guy versus bad guy.
00:00:28.300
But we'll give you that. Also, Bill O'Reilly is on.
00:00:31.420
Yep, O'Reilly's book came out this week, Killing the SS.
00:00:34.420
You can buy it in tandem with Addicted to Outrage and bookstores everywhere.
00:00:39.380
So he's on and gives us his take on all the big news events of the week.
00:00:46.980
Some new shows starting, some exciting new things beginning.
00:00:50.280
And Steve Dace, who still is working for CRTV, but is also doing another show for us.
00:01:00.180
Wicked, wicked smart and very fascinating on his take on what's happening to the left right now.
00:01:11.500
And more on trivia continues in mornings, which will be great.
00:01:14.060
And all of that begins on Monday on the Blaze Radio and TV.
00:01:17.980
Don't forget, also, we're all going to be out for a tour.
00:01:28.700
We're going to be helping out some of the leftists that are democratic socialists that, you know,
00:01:35.140
they want the same kind of world that you want.
00:01:38.860
We're going to help them with some of their new slogans.
00:01:43.160
Let them know how they can target the American people successfully because we're concerned about it.
00:01:52.120
So grab your tickets to that tour at glennbeck.com slash tour.
00:01:57.340
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:23.620
Because The Office is on Netflix and replaying, a lot more people have seen it recently.
00:02:27.760
And I think because of that, there's been a resurgence and interest in the show and talk about bringing it back.
00:02:33.420
But apart from the fact that I just don't think that's a good idea, it might be impossible to do the show today
00:02:38.700
and have people accept it the way it was accepted 10 years ago.
00:02:45.020
I mean, the whole idea of that character, Michael Scott, so much of it was predicted on inappropriate behavior.
00:02:54.000
And a lot of what is depicted on that show is completely wrong-minded.
00:03:02.540
There's very high awareness of offensive things today, which is good for sure.
00:03:07.960
But at the same time, when you take a character like that too literally, it doesn't really work.
00:03:19.560
I think he's pointing – I think he's criticizing.
00:03:22.680
I actually legitimately do think he's criticizing this climate.
00:03:26.580
Obviously, he agrees with Me Too and everything else.
00:03:33.000
We all agree that women should not have to deal with this nonsense.
00:03:35.780
But, I mean, I think what he's saying is – I don't even think you could – like, it's like Microsoft.
00:03:39.620
I don't even think you could start Microsoft today.
00:03:42.680
I think he's saying, I don't even think you could start The Office today.
00:03:53.800
Brand new holiday in America, according to Ithaca College.
00:04:00.840
Sure, you didn't know you needed another holiday, but you do.
00:04:05.400
Now, it hasn't gone nationwide yet because it was just invented.
00:04:10.260
But if Ithaca College and the mayor of Ithaca, New York, have anything to do with it, this is going to be a treasured holiday.
00:04:18.560
You will – your kids will say, where were you when they first started International Pronouns Day?
00:04:25.540
And you'll say, kids, well, I was on the cliff of insanity.
00:04:34.020
If you judge a book by a cover, you might think Pronouns Day celebrates the joy of good grammar.
00:04:41.820
Pronouns Day is going to celebrate the LGBTQI community and highlight how insidious structural racism, misogyny, and classism all interweaves together.
00:05:00.600
You go to college not to learn how to, you know, make things, build things, do things.
00:05:09.040
You go to college now to figure out how oppressed you are.
00:05:14.980
I hate to spoil a good holiday, but the focus on oppression sounds a lot like, you know, the airing of grievances.
00:05:23.120
Which, as any fan of Seinfeld will tell you, is a, you know, part of another made-up holiday called Festivus.
00:05:32.800
New holiday is the brainchild of Ithaca College's Center for LGBT.
00:05:43.680
It's just the LGBT education, outreach, and services with the support of Ithaca's mayor's office.
00:05:51.480
As the International Pronouns Day website explains, referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic human dignity.
00:06:02.460
You know, I am a one-winged purple dragon, and you will refer to me as that from here on out.
00:06:13.500
From here on out, being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender non-conforming people.
00:06:26.200
Together, we can transform society to celebrate people's multiple intersecting identities.
00:06:38.980
I try to let Jesus and Martin Luther King and Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln and all of those great men really kind of guide my life.
00:06:49.100
And then I read something like this, and all I can think of is,
00:06:57.100
So I apologize in advance for even thinking that.
00:07:06.320
If Google could just start installing fMRIs in all of our devices,
00:07:11.480
they would be able to read our minds and be able to see who's good and bad
00:07:16.120
and who should be de-platformed and silenced and quite, quite frankly, perhaps liquidated.
00:07:22.640
Now, the director of the Ithaca College LGBT, I don't know if you're Q and I, how you feel about this place,
00:07:41.920
It is required that we all call people by the pronouns they wish to use to confer basic dignity and respect.
00:08:07.720
I've just, I have just appropriated both Mexico and Italy.
00:08:19.920
So, I don't know if this holiday comes with a handy pronoun guide,
00:08:26.020
but it should never be written down on paper because it is going to change every single day.
00:08:32.260
It's impossible for those of us who are stuck in the he and she world.
00:08:38.060
You know, us old farts that just say a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
00:08:47.840
Oh, and dangerous, I'll tell you that right now.
00:08:53.420
International Pronouns Day makes its debut next Wednesday, October 17th.
00:09:14.620
I want to start a pro-Melania Trump, I don't know, group, something.
00:09:26.880
She is, she is, she is the most elegant first lady we have had since Jackie O.
00:09:37.120
She hasn't, nobody says anything nice about her.
00:09:39.600
Nobody says, it's incredible that when she was, when she was out just recently last, last week in where Africa and this was a Ralph Lauren photo shoot.
00:09:51.780
It was one of some of the most beautiful photos.
00:09:54.240
She was in Egypt in front of the, in front of the pyramids.
00:10:04.360
You know, this is, it's not a major issue, obviously, per se, as you compare it to others.
00:10:09.480
But what I honestly think it is the most pure example we have of media bias.
00:10:18.660
Remember when I was saying, you don't remember that part?
00:10:20.260
When I said, if everybody says they hate McDonald's, okay, that's fine.
00:10:23.660
But if you can't admit that you like their French fries or that they make the kick-ass French fries that they do,
00:10:38.340
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:10:52.180
If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:10:55.400
And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:10:57.760
Home title lock is a really important thing for you to get because home title fraud is a serious and increasing crime.
00:11:05.840
It's one of these things where you can just be at home, you get a letter in the mail from some bank you don't recognize,
00:11:10.360
and they're saying, hey, make your payments on your $100,000 home equity loan that you took out.
00:11:15.640
You know, unfortunately, you didn't actually take one out.
00:11:26.900
They forged some stuff, turned it into the local government.
00:11:29.540
They've got control of your house, your mortgage, your equity, all of it.
00:11:32.080
Home titles and mortgages are online, and you have to deal with that now.
00:11:39.500
Make sure you're not already a victim of home title fraud.
00:11:44.960
You know, this is something that if you have elderly parents, if you own rental homes, really want to make sure you do this.
00:11:51.100
These are the only people that can do it as well.
00:12:03.480
There is an interview with our first lady today, and I believe our first lady has displayed grace and a great composure.
00:12:17.940
And I don't care how you feel about the president.
00:12:24.800
Yeah, I mean, I don't see her in a position where she's being vilified on a daily basis by the press.
00:12:45.480
I think she's done a very good job as first lady, and there's really no reason to disparage Melania Trump.
00:12:52.260
You know, my breaking point was last week when she was over in Egypt and she was over in Africa, and the photos coming back of her were beautiful.
00:13:02.160
I mean, it was a Ralph Lauren photo spread, and all the press could do was, if they published any of those photos, they just tore her down for colonialism and all this crap.
00:13:19.560
The most beautiful woman in the Oval Office with the greatest style since Jackie O.
00:13:29.920
She was on the cover of every fashion magazine, but no fashion magazine will put Melania Trump on.
00:13:38.640
And they couldn't go out to their cocktail parties and all that.
00:13:41.980
You did your commentary on the political correctness, the 8%.
00:13:46.120
But, Beck, you left out some really big things.
00:13:49.880
This could never have happened without the open support of the media.
00:14:01.340
So, this week I've been doing a lot of promotion for Killing the SS, which came out on Tuesday.
00:14:08.080
And in that promotion, I'm basically saying that we in America are seeing a rise of hate and evil.
00:14:18.060
One of the ways that I tied it in was that George Soros and his crew have bought up about 20 PACs, political action committees.
00:14:32.320
And one of those missions was Senator Flake in the elevator with the CNN camera right behind a woman screaming at him because she was a victim of something and he was an idiot for not siding with her.
00:14:45.740
And the woman's an activist in a Soros PAC making $175,000 a year.
00:14:51.580
So, I tell that story, which is entirely accurate, 100% correct.
00:14:55.460
And Media Matters, within a half an hour, says that I compared the woman to the Third Reich.
00:15:09.160
So, the 8% progressive zealot fanatics could never have imposed anything on this country without the media taking up their cause and actually doing the dirty work.
00:15:36.660
Look what happened to Kanye West, my favorite guy of all time.
00:15:45.600
I was in the elevator with him at Madison Square Garden one time.
00:15:51.860
So, he goes on Saturday Night Live, which is staked out territory to destroy Donald Trump because it's good for Saturday Night Live's ratings.
00:16:04.720
He wears the Make America Great Again hat and no one likes him.
00:16:08.780
And he's shunned and he's brooding again because he's being bullied by Saturday Night Live.
00:16:15.860
Then, because of that, Trump invites him to the Oval Office where Kanye walks in with the hat and does Lombardo with the president or whatever they did.
00:16:41.240
Now, Taylor Swift, she comes out against Trump.
00:16:44.960
And she's telling everybody in Tennessee, I am out against them.
00:16:48.760
So, Taylor Swift and Kanye West, do I care what they think about geopolitics in any regard?
00:17:01.340
But this is a tremendous example of political correctness that Kanye West is going against the PC.
00:17:14.660
So, I want to come back because maybe you should get a cup of coffee in or something.
00:17:20.580
I need you to get a little more animated here, Bill.
00:17:23.920
But when we come back, I want to ask you about, because you follow ratings, the ratings are falling apart.
00:17:30.020
Let's look at the numbers of, you know, from, like, Beto and others that are running in the Senate.
00:17:45.660
And when they get their head handed to them by the people, I think they're going to double down yet again.
00:17:52.200
We'll get Bill O'Reilly's comment on that coming up in just a second.
00:18:10.360
Senate polls have been really good for Republicans since the Kavanaugh thing, which I don't know if that's a huge surprise to anybody.
00:18:15.300
But, I mean, you know, Beto is now down by, it looks like, eight to Ted Cruz, which is, you know, about double the lead he had before then.
00:18:22.960
And then, as Bill mentioned, Taylor Swift comes out and talks about how bad Marsha Blackburn is.
00:18:27.340
Latest poll has her up by 14, in which was thought it to be a toss-up race.
00:18:31.740
I mean, it's, I don't think the Democrats are learning their lesson, and yet they're doubling down, Bill.
00:18:37.460
I'd like to hear your thoughts on what Eric Holder said this week and Hillary Clinton.
00:18:42.340
Yeah, I paid more attention to what Kanye West and Taylor Swift said than Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder.
00:18:53.060
Dennis Miller thinks that Eric Holder is really Stedman, Oprah's boyfriend, and they look alike.
00:19:00.600
You should put that up on The Blaze side by side.
00:19:04.120
Anyway, there's a few interesting things in play here.
00:19:12.340
In the last six months or so, which breaks every work in the world.
00:19:18.540
It's coming from Soros and his guys and the Hollywood people and all of that.
00:19:30.340
I've met people who have given to both sides millions of dollars.
00:19:39.140
When you give a lot of money and the party says, no, this is the one.
00:19:45.120
And then you lose, especially if they lose by eight points.
00:20:04.980
So I think that, you know, I agree with you, Beck.
00:20:11.620
That there is a backlash and that the Kavanaugh spectacle alienated decent, and when I say decent, I mean fair-minded people.
00:20:22.780
You know, when you have, and I bring this up a lot, no one working for you and no one working for me could have tweeted out, well, Kavanaugh was confirmed, but at least we destroyed his life.
00:20:51.720
One of the writers for Letterman for Colbert, both insane.
00:20:54.880
One of the writers for Colbert tweeted that out.
00:21:00.500
So if that happened in your organization, my organization, then that person wouldn't be working for us.
00:21:04.780
If we would have tweeted out, but at least we got Ford.
00:21:18.000
And they probably couldn't go out of the house.
00:21:22.140
Even if you like Colbert, which I don't, even if you are sympathetic to Dr. Ford and all of that Me Too stuff, even if you're buying into it, you've got to know, all right, that the rhetoric and the plan to destroy human beings is not what America is all about.
00:21:46.360
And, you know, when you think in history, Stalin and Hitler and what they did by destroying their opposition, you know, later on it was physically.
00:21:55.780
But in the beginning, they couldn't murder people.
00:21:59.480
And that's exactly what we're seeing here in America.
00:22:08.160
And guys like you and I, unfortunately, we have to fight against this.
00:22:13.900
But to get back to the politics, I do think there's going to be a backlash.
00:22:18.040
I'm not sure about the House of Representatives, but the Senate, I believe, will be even more Republican than it is now.
00:22:30.080
If if they do have they they lose the Senate where just a few weeks ago, the the person who was in the best position to win for the Republicans was Ted Cruz.
00:22:42.520
And he was only one or two points ahead of of Beto.
00:22:48.580
Now it looks like they could if I mean, if it's a good day, they could end up with a majority of 54, 55.
00:22:57.280
If especially with, you know, Donald Trump is president, the most hated man of all time.
00:23:03.280
If if they do lose, do you think they will say, OK, wait a minute, this Democratic socialism, this anger and all that never going to do that.
00:23:14.160
They're going to go. They're going to go harder, don't you think?
00:23:17.700
I mean, these people are really, really deranged.
00:23:21.180
And there are some on that on the right like that as well.
00:23:31.060
But if they win, the Democrats win the House, then you're going to that's what you're going to hear.
00:23:36.740
You're not going to hear anything about the Senate.
00:23:38.380
And the House, you know, that's a little shaky because, as everybody knows, the first term in Clinton, the first term in Obama, they lost.
00:24:05.420
On the podcast this weekend, and you can get this podcast anywhere you find podcasts, now on Spotify as well.
00:24:20.500
This weekend, Eric Bolling, a one-on-one, a conversation about what happened with his son and how it affected him.
00:24:31.840
And I had gone to church five days a week during the week and every Sunday.
00:24:38.120
September 8th of 2017 was the last day I went to church.
00:24:46.140
Early in the day, I had spent a long time going back and forth with Fox, with lawyers, trying to figure out where I was going to go forward, what was going to happen.
00:24:55.160
And we came upon an idea that we were going to separate.
00:25:04.160
And I looked at it on that day as a new beginning.
00:25:08.140
Go start and go find another job somewhere, and life's going to be great.
00:25:16.160
I will tell you that whatever was written about me was false, patently false.
00:25:29.420
To make a long story short, my lawyer said it's probably time to just cut ties with Fox and move on and go find another job.
00:25:36.900
And frankly, my family was going to be dragged through the mud for a long time.
00:25:45.640
It was a Friday before a long weekend, before Labor Day.
00:25:49.200
I took my wife out to dinner that night, and we were going to celebrate.
00:25:53.620
The owner of the restaurant came over and said, hey, you know, congratulations.
00:26:07.140
There was a young man on the other side of the phone saying, Mr. Bowling, call your son.
00:26:14.720
I called over there, and a girl answered, and her name was Kayla.
00:26:20.640
She was crying, and for some reason, I just went right to, is he alive?
00:26:57.740
The next day, I went to Colorado, and the president called me.
00:27:10.600
But at that day, I realized that he cared, and so for the next few months, I made it my
00:27:41.360
And so now we are a year and two days after that, and it's been a rough go.
00:27:50.180
We can stop at any time if you don't want to talk about anything.
00:27:53.620
So I think it's just an important story to tell.
00:28:06.560
Were there indications, or was it just a dad feeling?
00:28:10.540
Who gets a call at 1030 at night and is told to call your son right away without explaining
00:28:16.380
And I just had the hunch, and sure enough, the hunch turned out to be true.
00:28:20.300
So it turns out he bought a Xanax on campus that was laced with fentanyl.
00:28:27.720
He didn't know, and he passed and was an accidental overdose.
00:28:31.520
So the question you asked me was, are they going to sue Fox?
00:28:34.520
At that moment, I had no fight in me to do anything.
00:28:37.800
So we spent, my wife and I just got very close.
00:28:40.940
We spent the better part of the next year just talking to other parents, talking any
00:28:46.460
opportunity we could to get the word out that it's an epidemic.
00:28:51.480
And parents need to know that their children are at risk, and it's a massive epidemic in
00:29:01.860
Young kids need to know that one pill can kill you.
00:29:06.440
And parents need to know that your child isn't too smart, too popular, too athletic to be exposed
00:29:15.900
It's a very emotional and, I think, important interview.
00:29:23.860
There are places that I want to go, and Eric has promised to come back, but I didn't want
00:29:33.900
And it was just a few days after the one-year anniversary, and he was very, very, very raw.
00:29:41.300
It's the first time that he has really spoken out about it and what his thoughts are.
00:29:47.100
And I think everybody, no matter what side you're on on the opioid thing, I mean, I got
00:29:53.800
an emotional call yesterday from somebody on the TV show that said, thank you for speaking
00:29:57.540
up for opioids, because there are those of us who we cannot live without them.
00:30:03.480
We can't, this woman said because of her disease, she can't even sit up in bed and she's bedridden
00:30:18.340
They're good when they're used properly, and they are deadly when they are abused.
00:30:24.140
And it's up to each of us to know what we're dealing with, and they are deadly.
00:30:32.540
That podcast also goes into his relationship with the president and what he has seen of
00:30:38.280
the president, and it's a very fascinating interview with Eric Bolling.
00:30:43.280
You can find that podcast wherever you download your podcast, iTunes, now on Spotify, but everywhere.
00:30:49.320
The Glenn Beck podcast, they come out every Saturday, a different interview with somebody
00:31:05.920
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:08.820
I have a quick announcement to make for the Blaze.
00:31:33.240
The Blaze Radio Network is a very fast and growing, a very big and fast-growing network
00:31:40.700
of people that are listening all around the country who would like, you know, sometimes
00:31:48.640
a strong look at the news and also a funny look at the news.
00:31:55.840
And today we're announcing a couple of changes.
00:31:57.940
If you happen to have listened to the Blaze Radio Network, you know that we always had
00:32:06.420
If you ever listen to him, you know his entrepreneurial spirit.
00:32:09.740
And he, for a long time, has wanted to start his own thing.
00:32:25.960
How could I not, how could I do anything but love a guy who says, I want to strike out
00:32:34.360
And so we wish him all the success in the world.
00:32:37.900
And we wish him the very, very best on Mojo 5-0.
00:32:43.900
Well, we happen to have the best morning guy in the country.
00:32:48.240
You know, I know I'm doing it, but I'm kind of locked down to this one.
00:32:51.980
And so I had to find the second best morning guy in the country.
00:32:58.320
So Pat is going to be moving to mornings, but you can still hear him on his podcast and
00:33:04.360
And you'll hear him in the mornings preceding this program.
00:33:06.560
Then to replace Pat Gray, who is very hard to replace because he is not only funny and
00:33:14.100
entertaining, but he also has a great intellect and truly understands our founding and the
00:33:23.540
So we wanted somebody with some real meat on the bones.
00:33:28.320
And a guy who I have really grown to love, but he already had another job, is Steve Dace.
00:33:34.680
Steve works for CRTV, but we have convinced CRTV to also kind of, it's kind of like a Warner
00:33:42.640
Brothers and, you know, the old Paramount Studios deal where we're like, okay, well, you can
00:33:52.400
And we've convinced them to let us use Steve to do a program immediately after this.
00:34:08.800
He's still going to be doing his CRTV thing, but he's doing two hours for us every day.
00:34:13.980
Tell, if anybody, if they don't know who you are, explain who you are.
00:34:17.520
I think, you know, we have a slightly different way of doing things than what you would probably
00:34:27.180
One is we're mindful of the things we're actually trying to conserve because kind of nowadays
00:34:35.860
But you were just moving it with Pat when you say he was the second best one.
00:34:40.920
And then space bar, space bar, space bar, you're number two, right?
00:34:49.020
So, you know, we actually talk about the things we're trying to conserve, the values and virtues
00:34:54.020
that made America exceptional and where they came from in the first place.
00:34:58.300
We like to start arguments even more than we like to win them because we think that one
00:35:03.260
of the big problems in our country, there's this idea that we're really divided and we're
00:35:09.800
I mean, what we're doing is we're grabbing 17 burner accounts on social media, calling
00:35:13.320
each other anonymous names, returning to the fart factory of the smell that we prefer of
00:35:20.820
our own tribe and to never retreat from our own native sweat lodge, convinced we're right
00:35:25.460
about absolutely everything while we're lobbing verbal bombs that our neighbor over there
00:35:29.000
we never talked to, and we're calling that an argument, okay?
00:35:36.260
You know, I kind of, I think the truth is its own reward and the truth is our friend.
00:35:39.660
And I am perfectly fine having a truthful conversation with people on the other side.
00:35:45.280
So can you have, because I've started having them myself.
00:35:49.180
I had Dr. Debra So in studio this weekend or this last week.
00:35:54.440
Um, we had Dave Rubin, who else, uh, Stu here recently, Michael Reckenwald, that Michael
00:36:01.240
Reckenwald is a guy who used to write for the communist newsletter.
00:36:04.240
Um, and we don't agree on everything, but I'm looking for the people who you can't have
00:36:10.160
a conversation with somebody who is, whose goal it is to say rights apply to certain people
00:36:20.500
Is there, isn't there a, there is a line of who you can have a conversation with.
00:36:25.380
And, you know, we try to equip our audience to see some of those lines.
00:36:28.360
And I think we need to understand two distinctions in our culture today, gentlemen.
00:36:31.760
We need to understand the distinction between an opponent and an enemy and a liberal and
00:36:37.620
An opponent is someone who disagrees with you, maybe even vehemently, and will do whatever
00:36:41.060
they can within the boundaries of the, of, you know, what's acceptable in terms of cultural
00:36:46.180
warfare to defeat your ideas and the arena of ideas.
00:36:51.480
An enemy is somebody who has no interest in sharing a neighborhood with you, sharing
00:36:55.080
a school with you, a little league game with you, uh, an office building with you.
00:36:59.180
Uh, and then you look at what's the difference between a liberal and a leftist.
00:37:02.380
You know, a liberal is somebody that wants government to permit you to do things God says
00:37:08.480
A leftist is somebody that wants government to compel you to do those things.
00:37:12.760
And if you will not do those things that God says are immoral and dumb,
00:37:15.860
then you, as Eric Erickson likes to say, you will be made to care.
00:37:19.660
The full coercive power of government will be brought down upon me, uh, because you,
00:37:24.960
it's, you know, resistance is futile and you're watching this existential transition happening
00:37:32.620
And we're, we're, there aren't really too many liberals anymore.
00:37:35.420
The reason why you're struggling to find people to have these conversations with in
00:37:38.740
the media arena where we work is there's not too many of them left.
00:37:42.000
I think there are though, outside of the media arena.
00:37:45.260
I agree that there are, you know, I think that's what people, people think that I want
00:37:49.420
to have conversations with, you know, I want to, you're, you're going to bring in so-and-so
00:37:54.380
and you're going to have a conversation with them.
00:38:02.240
She just, it's the best thing is that you could possibly say the most charitable thing
00:38:12.760
And some of them will go so far as when they leave the room, go, that guy has got to be
00:38:19.180
And that's dangerous, but that's not who I'm talking about.
00:38:22.100
No, I talk about my mom a lot because she had me at 15.
00:38:26.940
She found out she was pregnant with me Christmas break, 1972.
00:38:31.560
Wade happens a month later and she decides not to have an abortion.
00:38:35.840
And so my mom and I literally grew up together and, you know, I become this Alex P.
00:38:39.840
Keaton wannabe kid of the eighties and she's your typical single mom.
00:38:43.740
Government should do for people what they can't do for themselves, you know, and, and, and,
00:38:49.840
And for many years we couldn't talk about politics.
00:38:52.020
And so as I started growing more in conservative media, we just agreed we wouldn't bring it up
00:38:55.980
when we got together as a family because it got in the way of everything.
00:38:58.360
But funny things happened the last few years though, guys, she is bringing it up now to
00:39:02.420
me and she's semi-retired now because of medical disability.
00:39:05.880
And so she watched a lot of what's on your screens.
00:39:19.920
I want the audience to know that's unheard of in our business.
00:39:30.780
I mean, I keep up on clips that go viral in social media, but long form, it's just toxic
00:39:42.800
But one of the things, she came to me one day before the 2012 election and she brought
00:39:47.500
She started bringing politics up to me, you know, unprovoked.
00:39:50.920
And she said, you know, I was so happy when Barack Obama won in 08 that we had shattered
00:39:56.120
And out of the blue, she said to me, she goes, I wonder sometimes when I watch the things
00:39:59.880
he says and he does, if he's actually a communist.
00:40:05.200
Um, and I watched the way, you know, my mom is one of those people that is fine, likes
00:40:09.820
Obamacare, thinks that Medicare for all is okay.
00:40:13.060
We need to be able to provide things like healthcare for people.
00:40:15.560
She's not fine with, if you don't change your religion for the government, we shut you
00:40:20.520
She's not fine with, we give $500 million a year of your money to Planned Parenthood.
00:40:26.560
So, so I've, I've recently come to this feeling that we have caused problems, um, of communication
00:40:34.700
because we have seen Obamacare and we know what the, we know those who designed it, we
00:40:44.260
We know that they are socialists that are drawing this up, but the people who like your mom
00:40:51.640
and the regular people on the, on the liberal side, on the democratic side, they're not for
00:41:05.560
And so when we say this is socialism, they hear that as you're a communist and they're
00:41:13.840
And so we have, we have put a giant blanket over the entire voting public of Democrats
00:41:21.840
and made them feel like we're calling them communists.
00:41:25.280
They don't feel like they're communists and they're not communists, but it is provide that
00:41:30.160
cover has provided cover, if you will, for the actual Marxist communists that are, that
00:41:39.760
When you look at, you know, for the last 25 years, I've been involved in full-time political
00:41:45.040
advocacy, either as a host or an activist, or I've worked on numerous campaigns.
00:41:50.620
I've done everything in our movement other than run for office, basically myself.
00:41:54.580
And when you look at the, for the last, for all the course of our careers, the GOP consultancy
00:42:01.020
industry has, has designed a strategy to chase a voter that does not exist.
00:42:05.200
And this is filtered down into the talking points we in conservative media get from these
00:42:10.120
And that is that the average GOP consultant believes America wants, wants limited government
00:42:16.320
like the Koch brothers and Sodom and Gomorrah at the same time.
00:42:22.160
The majority of, and you know, it's fascinating is Pew did a huge study on this, breaking it
00:42:28.620
The libertarian, the myth of the libertarian voter, that's how they define them.
00:42:35.760
The reality is, and I've seen this on every GOP campaign and for every candidate from state
00:42:39.980
house to president I've ever worked on, the amount of pushback we get on our social beliefs
00:42:45.100
compared to you're the party of big business who wants to lay me off and doesn't care about
00:42:52.840
And the reality is most voters are in favor of bigger government with better moral values.
00:42:59.080
And this is the secret sauce that Trump tapped into in the last election.
00:43:03.740
The irony is the ultimate hedonist absolutely embraces all of these cultural flashpoints.
00:43:09.780
He didn't say, he didn't give you the token, I'm pro-life.
00:43:12.420
He stood up in front of 100 million people at the presidential debate and said, I'm going
00:43:15.480
to appoint justices that will overturn Roe, okay?
00:43:18.700
I mean, he has embraced, whether it's the NFL issue, which has kind of become a phony issue
00:43:27.200
You know, I've always believed that Mitt Romney would have just eaten a chicken sandwich about
00:43:30.000
mid-August of 2016 or 2012 when he had Chick-fil-A Day.
00:43:33.960
He'd have been president of the United States, but he wouldn't even eat a chicken sandwich.
00:43:36.720
Every moment Mitt Romney had a chance in that campaign to punt on a cultural flashpoint, he
00:43:42.920
Every moment John McCain had to punt on a cultural flashpoint, even lecturing guys like
00:43:47.300
you about not using Barack Obama's real middle name, remember those days?
00:43:52.340
Trump said cultural flashpoints, I'm going to wear, I'm going to put it on my face, I'm
00:43:55.600
going to marinate in it, I'm going to bathe in it.
00:43:57.240
Whether I believe any of this stuff or not, I'm a businessman and I know when a market
00:44:03.540
And you see the way that our base responded to that.
00:44:05.600
Okay, so let's talk about the result of that, the good things and the bad things and what
00:44:11.200
the Democrats are now saying and go back to the violence that I told you at the beginning
00:44:16.020
When we come back again, Steve Dace begins on the Blaze Radio Network and also he remains
00:44:23.320
on CRTV and we are grateful for their, I don't know, their friendship, their friendship
00:44:31.320
But Steve starts on Monday and right after this program and Pat begins the morning blaze.
00:44:38.960
Pat slightly unleashed mad dog because he's now tired and cranky on Monday as well.
