The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program with Steve Deace & Bill O'Reilly ｜ 10⧸12⧸18

00:00:00.200 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

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. 1.00

00:00:20.980 We're going to tell you the part of the story that nobody knows.

00:00:23.880 Doesn't change good guy and bad guy.

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.

00:00:44.320 And we have a big Blaze announcement today.

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.

00:00:55.660 He begins on Monday. He joined us.

00:00:57.920 And he made my head hurt a little bit.

00:01:00.180 Wicked, wicked smart and very fascinating on his take on what's happening to the left right now.

00:01:07.220 And Pat Gray moving to mornings.

00:01:09.020 We're excited about that.

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.

00:01:21.500 It's our Addicted to Outrage tour.

00:01:23.060 Grab your tickets at glennbeck.com slash tour.

00:01:26.460 We're coming to a city near you.

00:01:27.860 We can't wait.

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.

00:01:37.920 Oh, they certainly do.

00:01:38.860 We're going to help them with some of their new slogans.

00:01:41.260 Maybe a couple of commercials.

00:01:43.160 Let them know how they can target the American people successfully because we're concerned about it.

00:01:48.800 Because they just may not be going far enough.

00:01:51.860 Right.

00:01:52.120 So grab your tickets to that tour at glennbeck.com slash tour.

00:01:56.020 Here's today's podcast.

00:01:57.340 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:10.540 It's Friday, October 12th.

00:02:13.260 Glenn Beck.

00:02:14.480 I don't.

00:02:15.780 Did you see the post from Steve Carell?

00:02:18.780 Did you see this?

00:02:19.580 I love it.

00:02:21.040 I love it.

00:02:21.680 This is exactly where we are as a society.

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.

00:02:43.640 The climate is different.

00:02:45.020 I mean, the whole idea of that character, Michael Scott, so much of it was predicted on inappropriate behavior.

00:02:50.720 I mean, he's certainly not a model boss.

00:02:54.000 And a lot of what is depicted on that show is completely wrong-minded.

00:02:58.800 That's the point, you know.

00:03:00.500 But I just don't know how it'd fly now.

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.

00:03:14.420 He's right.

00:03:15.400 100% right on that comment.

00:03:17.700 He's weak.

00:03:19.020 Oh, I disagree. 0.51

00:03:19.560 I think he's pointing – I think he's criticizing.

00:03:21.840 Do you?

00:03:22.260 Yeah, I do.

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.

00:03:29.980 But I think –

00:03:30.260 Well, I agree with the point of Me Too.

00:03:31.300 Exactly.

00:03:31.740 We all agree.

00:03:32.400 The point of Me Too.

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.

00:03:39.000 Remember Bill Gates?

00:03:39.620 I don't even think you could start Microsoft today.

00:03:41.460 I think that's what he's saying.

00:03:42.680 I think he's saying, I don't even think you could start The Office today.

00:03:44.480 People would be too offended.

00:03:45.380 It wouldn't even work.

00:03:45.840 So, let me give – let me go here.

00:03:50.120 I'm going to take you to Ithaca College.

00:03:53.000 Ithaca College.

00:03:53.800 Brand new holiday in America, according to Ithaca College.

00:03:57.600 And we all must support it now.

00:04:00.840 Sure, you didn't know you needed another holiday, but you do.

00:04:03.440 It's International Pronouns Day.

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.

00:04:31.140 I was in hell is where I was.

00:04:34.020 If you judge a book by a cover, you might think Pronouns Day celebrates the joy of good grammar.

00:04:39.380 But no, no.

00:04:40.220 You'd be totally wrong.

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. 0.74

00:04:55.540 And how it causes oppression.

00:04:58.740 See, that's our thing now.

00:05:00.600 You go to college not to learn how to, you know, make things, build things, do things.

00:05:08.520 No, no, no.

00:05:09.040 You go to college now to figure out how oppressed you are.

00:05:13.500 Oh, my gosh.

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.

00:05:30.440 So I don't know if I need to point that out.

00:05:32.800 New holiday is the brainchild of Ithaca College's Center for LGBT.

00:05:37.480 Oh, wait a minute.

00:05:39.640 They didn't use the Q and the I?

00:05:41.560 Oh, my.

00:05:42.260 I am so offended.

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.

00:06:32.280 Oh, man.

00:06:34.340 You know, I try to be a good person.

00:06:36.580 I really do.

00:06:37.320 I try to be a peaceful person.

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, 0.99

00:06:52.240 Shut up. 1.00

00:06:53.600 Shut up. 1.00

00:06:55.980 Whew. 0.99

00:06:57.100 So I apologize in advance for even thinking that.

00:07:00.640 Oh, boy.

00:07:02.240 I hope I'm not de-platformed.

00:07:04.480 Oh, my.

00:07:05.500 Oh, jeez.

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,

00:07:32.440 but the LGBT Center says,

00:07:36.040 This holiday is not just important.

00:07:40.520 It is required.

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.

00:07:52.680 So compelled speech.

00:07:54.520 We're no longer into freedom of speech.

00:07:57.440 You can't speak your mind.

00:07:59.420 But if you don't speak someone else's mind,

00:08:05.220 hosta la pasta.

00:08:06.460 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:07.720 I've just, I have just appropriated both Mexico and Italy.

00:08:14.140 The horror of it all.

00:08:16.380 Well, it is required now.

00:08:19.920 So, I don't know if this holiday comes with a handy pronoun guide, 0.58

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. 1.00

00:08:38.060 You know, us old farts that just say a man is a man and a woman is a woman.

00:08:44.620 Oh, we're so out of touch. 0.58

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.

00:09:00.440 So let me be the first to tell you,

00:09:03.600 there's only five more shopping days left.

00:09:10.020 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:09:14.620 I want to start a pro-Melania Trump, I don't know, group, something.

00:09:26.380 I don't know.

00:09:26.880 She is, she is, she is the most elegant first lady we have had since Jackie O.

00:09:33.900 She's not been on any cover of any magazine.

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.

00:09:58.360 It was incredible.

00:10:01.200 So beautiful.

00:10:02.500 So tasteful.

00:10:03.640 Nothing.

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.

00:10:14.580 Yes, it is in my book.

00:10:16.160 That's the McDonald's French fry.

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,

00:10:28.720 then you have no credibility.

00:10:30.820 Melania Trump is the McDonald's French fries. 0.87

00:10:33.000 I'm shocked you brought it to fast food.

00:10:38.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

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.

00:11:17.340 Some identity thief did it for you.

00:11:18.860 They're spending their money on fun stuff.

00:11:20.540 You're stuck with the payments.

00:11:21.580 It's crazy.

00:11:22.360 It's crazy.

00:11:23.600 And it's so easy to do.

00:11:25.480 Yeah, they can get your documents.

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.

00:11:53.920 We'll explain sometime later.

00:11:56.600 Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program.

00:11:59.380 Back.

00:11:59.860 How are you doing?

00:12:00.840 I am very good.

00:12:02.780 I'm very good.

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.

00:12:21.040 I think enough is enough with Melania Trump.

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.

00:12:35.320 They snipe at her.

00:12:36.840 I've known her for a long time.

00:12:38.940 Very charming woman.

00:12:40.860 Very intelligent.

00:12:42.760 Loves children.

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. 0.90

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. 0.95

00:13:15.640 Colonialism. 0.97

00:13:16.060 I know.

00:13:16.860 And then here she is.

00:13:19.080 Hang on.

00:13:19.560 The most beautiful woman in the Oval Office with the greatest style since Jackie O.

00:13:27.580 They loved Camelot and her style.

00:13:29.920 She was on the cover of every fashion magazine, but no fashion magazine will put Melania Trump on. 0.99

00:13:37.460 No, of course not. 0.98

00:13:38.220 It's ridiculous. 0.91

00:13:38.640 And they couldn't go out to their cocktail parties and all that. 0.90

00:13:41.980 You did your commentary on the political correctness, the 8%. 0.88

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.

00:13:54.560 Yes.

00:13:55.260 I put the media in that 8%.

00:13:57.040 Which has a great political correctness.

00:13:58.060 Hey, let me just tell you a quick story, okay?

00:14:01.100 All right.

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.

00:14:16.340 And I tie it in a number of ways.

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.

00:14:28.480 And they send them out on missions. 0.99

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. 0.99

00:14:44.980 Who's the woman? 1.00

00:14:45.740 And the woman's an activist in a Soros PAC making $175,000 a year. 0.96

00:14:51.140 All right.

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.

00:15:02.600 Okay?

00:15:04.180 Now, that's what's going on here.

00:15:06.960 That's what's in the play.

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.

00:15:25.020 I put the media in that 8%.

00:15:27.940 It is the reason why it has swept the country.

00:15:32.940 It is, you're right, because of the media.

00:15:34.740 But they are part of that 8%. 0.87

00:15:36.660 Look what happened to Kanye West, my favorite guy of all time.

00:15:40.840 Okay?

00:15:41.500 Yeah.

00:15:41.940 So, Kanye West, who I didn't really meet him.

00:15:45.600 I was in the elevator with him at Madison Square Garden one time.

00:15:48.580 He had short pants on and he was brooding.

00:15:50.820 Right.

00:15:51.100 Okay.

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.

00:16:00.280 That's why they do it.

00:16:02.080 All right?

00:16:02.420 So, Kanye gets invited to go on.

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.

00:16:13.840 Okay.

00:16:14.240 Fine.

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.

00:16:26.280 Okay?

00:16:27.360 Now, why does anyone care?

00:16:30.780 Why?

00:16:32.420 Thank you for saying this.

00:16:34.380 So, CNN takes his whole day.

00:16:36.500 Yeah, I know.

00:16:37.320 He's talking about what he wants to.

00:16:39.200 The whole day to vilify Kanye West.

00:16:40.820 Right.

00:16:41.240 Now, Taylor Swift, she comes out against Trump.

00:16:44.520 All right?

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?

00:16:56.240 Beck, the answer is no.

00:16:58.200 I don't.

00:17:00.020 And no one else does either.

00:17:01.340 But this is a tremendous example of political correctness that Kanye West is going against the PC.

00:17:10.600 So, he must be vilified.

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.

00:17:23.620 All right.

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.

00:17:37.620 The numbers seem to be falling apart.

00:17:39.280 I think that there is a change afoot.

00:17:42.660 And the Democrats don't see it.

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.

00:17:55.520 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:17:57.900 His new book is out.

00:17:59.580 It is Killing the SS.

00:18:02.420 And it is really good.

00:18:04.580 It's worth the read.

00:18:06.420 Pick it up and read it.

00:18:08.580 It's really, really good.

00:18:10.160 Yeah.

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. 0.73

00:18:31.500 Yeah.

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.

00:19:09.240 Beto has raised $38 million.

00:19:12.340 In the last six months or so, which breaks every work in the world.

00:19:16.920 Where's that money coming from?

00:19:18.540 It's coming from Soros and his guys and the Hollywood people and all of that.

00:19:23.900 So he'll stay competitive.

00:19:25.340 I think he'll lose.

00:19:27.480 Hang on.

00:19:28.140 Let me stop there.

00:19:29.920 Go ahead.

00:19:30.340 I've met people who have given to both sides millions of dollars.

00:19:34.940 They're not happy with the party that loses.

00:19:39.140 When you give a lot of money and the party says, no, this is the one.

00:19:43.960 This is going to change everything.

00:19:45.120 And then you lose, especially if they lose by eight points.

00:19:48.340 But those are normal people.

00:19:51.020 I'm talking about the real shadowy guys.

00:19:54.440 That's what Beto's getting.

00:19:56.520 He's getting that big Soros money coming in.

00:19:59.560 I guess, maybe, yeah.

00:20:01.040 And he doesn't.

00:20:02.180 They just want, you know, search and destroy.

00:20:04.980 So I think that, you know, I agree with you, Beck.

00:20:08.580 And that always hurts my toes when I say that.

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.

00:20:21.180 Yeah, both Democrat and Republican.

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.

00:20:41.080 Remember that tweet?

00:20:42.040 Yes.

00:20:43.100 Who did it come from?

00:20:44.180 It came from Letterman's writers.

00:20:46.680 Colbert.

00:20:47.360 Oh, Colbert, you're right.

00:20:48.340 Yeah, yeah, you're right.

00:20:48.820 Right.

00:20:49.000 Sorry.

00:20:49.460 Okay.

00:20:50.340 I don't watch any of them. 0.96

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.

00:20:57.120 Okay.

00:20:57.700 One of the most hateful things I've ever seen.

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.

00:21:10.200 At least we really destroyed her.

00:21:12.960 It would have been a horror show.

00:21:15.780 Right.

00:21:15.900 The person would not be working today.

00:21:18.000 And they probably couldn't go out of the house.

00:21:19.860 Right.

00:21:20.140 So people know this.

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.

00:21:44.180 Yes.

00:21:44.460 It's not.

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. 0.62

00:21:55.780 But in the beginning, they couldn't murder people.

00:21:57.880 But they did it other ways.

00:21:59.480 And that's exactly what we're seeing here in America.

00:22:03.520 The hate is rising.

00:22:04.760 The fear is rising.

00:22:06.040 All of this is in play.

00:22:08.160 And guys like you and I, unfortunately, we have to fight against this.

00:22:12.120 And then that puts us in the kill zone.

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.

00:22:25.900 So let me let me ask you this.

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.

00:22:46.040 So he was in the best position.

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.

00:22:54.180 Yeah, that's significant.

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?

00:23:16.380 Yeah, of course. 0.94

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. 0.57

00:23:24.820 Yes.

00:23:25.080 But not nearly the numbers on the left.

00:23:28.820 And of course, the media promotes that.

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.

00:23:38.120 Yes.

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.

00:23:48.320 You always do.

00:23:49.120 And the opposition party won the House.

00:23:53.120 Right.

00:23:53.540 And that's the way Americans usually vote.

00:23:56.380 Yeah.

00:23:56.500 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:03.660 And we really want to thank you for listening.

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.

00:24:28.880 I'll add one more to that.

00:24:30.240 I lost my faith that day, too, Glenn.

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.

00:24:58.000 I was separating from Fox.

00:24:59.180 They said amicably separating.

00:25:01.100 Bowling and Fox are amicably separating.

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.

00:25:11.920 And you were going to sue.

00:25:13.860 I didn't know what I was going to do, Glenn.

00:25:16.160 I will tell you that whatever was written about me was false, patently false.

00:25:21.820 It was a lie.

00:25:23.700 It never happened.

00:25:24.660 And no one has ever, ever come forward.

00:25:27.060 It was all anonymous sourcing.

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.

00:25:35.260 This could go on forever.

00:25:36.900 And frankly, my family was going to be dragged through the mud for a long time.

00:25:40.320 So I decided that that was the thing to do.

00:25:42.720 We cut ties around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

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.

00:25:56.980 This is a new start.

00:25:57.940 We had a nice drink.

00:25:59.540 On the way home, we got the call.

00:26:02.320 We were driving home, and my phone rang.

00:26:07.140 There was a young man on the other side of the phone saying, Mr. Bowling, call your son.

00:26:12.020 Call Eric right away.

00:26:12.960 He said, what's wrong?

00:26:13.620 He said, just call Eric right away.

00:26:14.720 I called over there, and a girl answered, and her name was Kayla.

00:26:18.720 He had been seeing her on and off.

00:26:20.640 She was crying, and for some reason, I just went right to, is he alive?

00:26:44.720 She said, no.

00:26:54.400 That was a rough day.

00:26:57.740 The next day, I went to Colorado, and the president called me.

00:27:05.880 He says, anything we can do for you?

00:27:08.420 I said, no.

00:27:10.000 Thank you.

00:27:10.600 But at that day, I realized that he cared, and so for the next few months, I made it my

00:27:17.900 mission to create awareness around opioids.

00:27:23.180 Eric bought a Xanax on campus.

00:27:32.380 It was laced with fentanyl, and it killed.

00:27:35.240 And so, yeah, so that was that day.

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.

00:27:58.860 When you said, is he alive, why?

00:28:06.560 Were there indications, or was it just a dad feeling?

00:28:09.660 It was a feeling.

00:28:10.540 Who gets a call at 1030 at night and is told to call your son right away without explaining

00:28:15.920 why?

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.

00:28:26.340 It wasn't a prescriptive Xanax.

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.

00:28:50.920 Excuse me.

00:28:51.480 And parents need to know that their children are at risk, and it's a massive epidemic in

00:29:00.920 the country.

00:29:01.860 Young kids need to know that one pill can kill you.

00:29:04.280 They're not sure what you're ever taking.

00:29:06.440 And parents need to know that your child isn't too smart, too popular, too athletic to be exposed

00:29:13.280 to potentially dying from an overdose.

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

00:29:30.060 to dogpile.

00:29:31.020 We recorded this on September, I think, 10th.

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 0.93

00:30:09.480 without the opioid.

00:30:11.220 There are, you know, all of these things.

00:30:16.580 They're double-edged swords.

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

00:30:55.140 who is truly fascinating.

00:31:00.100 Glenn Beck.

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

00:32:02.320 the Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson.

00:32:04.460 Doc's been with us for a long time.

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.

00:32:13.220 And he has.

00:32:14.440 And he built it while he was working here.

00:32:17.100 And we all knew about it.

00:32:18.840 It's Mojo, I think.

00:32:20.800 Mojo 5-0.

00:32:21.580 Mojo 5-0.

00:32:22.420 And it is, it's something, it's 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

00:32:31.940 on my own?

00:32:32.680 Yeah, that's great.

00:32:33.260 Good for you.

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.

00:32:42.640 That left an opening.

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.

00:32:56.200 And that is, of course, Pat Gray.

00:32:58.320 So Pat is going to be moving to mornings, but you can still hear him on his podcast and

00:33:03.620 everything else.

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

00:33:22.780 founding principles.

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

00:33:49.020 use our star for this movie.

00:33:52.400 And we've convinced them to let us use Steve to do a program immediately after this.

00:33:59.620 And welcome to the program now, Steve Dace.

00:34:01.500 How are you?

00:34:02.080 I'm doing well.

00:34:02.580 Good to see you guys.

00:34:03.240 And we're really, really excited about this.

00:34:05.420 It starts on Monday.

00:34:06.200 Yeah.

00:34:06.480 Starts on Monday.

00:34:07.040 He's still going to be on CRTV.

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

00:34:23.460 typically hear in conservative talk radio.

00:34:27.180 One is we're mindful of the things we're actually trying to conserve because kind of nowadays

00:34:31.160 conservative means I'm not a communist.

00:34:34.280 So we keep moving that bar. 0.54

00:34:35.860 But you were just moving it with Pat when you say he was the second best one.

00:34:38.640 Here's what we didn't tell you, Pat.

00:34:40.000 He's number one.

00:34:40.920 And then space bar, space bar, space bar, you're number two, right?

00:34:44.280 That's called moving the bar. 0.98

00:34:45.160 Thank you.

00:34:45.600 This is why he is a genius.

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

00:35:07.180 arguing all the time.

00:35:08.040 Guys, we're not arguing at all.

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 0.64

00:35:20.820 our own tribe and to never retreat from our own native sweat lodge, convinced we're right 0.93

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?

00:35:31.880 I actually think we need some real arguments.

00:35:33.680 We actually need to have both sides come out.

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 1.00

00:36:10.160 a conversation with somebody who is, whose goal it is to say rights apply to certain people

00:36:19.120 and not to others.

00:36:20.500 Is there, isn't there a, there is a line of who you can have a conversation with.

00:36:25.040 There is.

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

00:36:36.660 a leftist.

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.

00:36:49.120 An enemy is somebody who wants to end you.

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 0.99

00:37:06.800 are immoral and dumb. 0.97

00:37:08.480 A leftist is somebody that wants government to compel you to do those things. 1.00

00:37:12.760 And if you will not do those things that God says are immoral and dumb, 0.97

00:37:15.860 then you, as Eric Erickson likes to say, you will be made to care. 0.97

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

00:37:29.940 on the left in our culture.

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.

00:37:55.920 You can't talk to them.

00:37:56.700 No, Nancy Pelosi.

00:37:57.940 I can't talk to you.

00:37:58.780 She has no interest in talking to you. 0.93

00:38:00.020 She has no interest.

00:38:00.360 She wants to end you. 1.00

00:38:01.200 She doesn't want to share a country with you. 0.99

00:38:02.240 She just, it's the best thing is that you could possibly say the most charitable thing

00:38:07.160 on both sides is they just want to win.

00:38:10.320 So they'll do anything to win.

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

00:38:18.080 stopped.

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.

00:38:25.300 She got pregnant with me at 14.

00:38:26.940 She found out she was pregnant with me Christmas break, 1972.

00:38:30.220 And Roe v.

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. 0.97

00:38:43.740 Government should do for people what they can't do for themselves, you know, and, and, and,

00:38:47.620 and has a different view of politics than me.

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.

00:39:08.160 I don't watch any cable news at all.

00:39:09.720 Frankly, I can't, I can't ingest it.

00:39:11.460 Hang on a sec.

00:39:11.760 Do you?

00:39:12.300 Yeah.

00:39:12.540 Do you watch it?

00:39:12.900 Never.

00:39:13.760 Do you watch it too?

00:39:14.460 Except when I'm on the air.

00:39:15.580 Just for updates.

00:39:16.920 Yeah.

00:39:16.960 I mean, yeah.

00:39:17.760 Unless it's...

00:39:18.560 Hang on just a second.

00:39:19.920 I want the audience to know that's unheard of in our business.

00:39:24.240 That you could not have done this job.

00:39:26.920 Agreed.

00:39:27.200 Without watching cable news three years ago.

00:39:30.260 Right.

00:39:30.780 I mean, I keep up on clips that go viral in social media, but long form, it's just toxic

00:39:35.120 ingestion into the veins.

00:39:36.580 Yeah.

00:39:36.820 My mom watches a lot more of this.

00:39:38.540 She actually likes your show quite a bit.

00:39:39.840 Oh, thank you.

00:39:40.320 Actually.

00:39:41.140 She's a brilliant woman.

00:39:42.800 But one of the things, she came to me one day before the 2012 election and she brought

00:39:47.220 it up.

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

00:39:55.040 the racial ceiling.

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.

00:40:02.600 I mean, this just blew me away.

00:40:04.040 Wow.

00:40:04.400 Okay.

00:40:05.020 Yeah.

00:40:05.200 Um, and I watched the way, you know, my mom is one of those people that is fine, likes 0.89

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 1.00

00:40:19.180 down and put you in jail. 0.60

00:40:20.520 She's not fine with, we give $500 million a year of your money to Planned Parenthood.

00:40:25.220 She's not fine with that stuff.

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

00:40:42.020 know they want single payer healthcare.

00:40:43.880 Okay.

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

00:40:57.100 communism.

00:40:57.840 They're not for the end of capitalism.

00:40:59.780 They just believe in more welfare.

00:41:02.700 Okay.

00:41:03.120 They just believe in a bigger hand to help.

00:41:05.560 And so when we say this is socialism, they hear that as you're a communist and they're

00:41:11.300 like, we're not communists.

00:41:13.340 Right.

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

00:41:37.060 are trying to say end of capitalism.

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.

00:41:49.600 I've run the gamut.

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

00:42:09.460 people.

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.

00:42:20.140 It's actually totally in reverse.

00:42:22.160 The majority of, and you know, it's fascinating is Pew did a huge study on this, breaking it

00:42:26.640 down in the 2016 electorate.

00:42:28.620 The libertarian, the myth of the libertarian voter, that's how they define them.

00:42:32.680 That voter largely does not exist.

00:42:34.200 It's a unicorn, okay?

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

00:42:49.260 me, guys, it's 10 to 1 at minimum.

00:42:51.500 It's not even close.

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

00:43:24.480 now, but all of the cultural flashpoints.

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

00:43:42.480 did.

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?

00:43:50.420 He punted on every one of those.

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

00:44:00.980 wants a product.

00:44:02.460 And I'm going to give it to them.

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

00:44:14.900 of the half hour.

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

00:44:30.980 here.

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.

00:44:46.700 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:44:50.600 On demand.
