The Glenn Beck Program - 'Media Phenom in Motion'？ - 10⧸17⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.740 Glenn Beck.

00:00:10.680 3,000 migrants have just crossed the Honduran-Guatemala border en route to the United States.

00:00:17.100 President Trump threatened both countries yesterday with pulling all financial aid if the two countries don't do something to stop it.

00:00:24.300 Every year, we give about $100 million in aid to Guatemala, with a good majority going to their military and security services.

00:00:33.040 Over the last two years, we've given Honduras over $260 million.

00:00:38.520 A vast majority goes to keep their military and security apparatus up and running.

00:00:43.760 In short, if we stop writing these checks, both Honduran and Guatemalan governments are going to have some very big problems on their hand.

00:00:52.080 It's such a big issue that the Honduran president made a public address to his country yesterday.

00:00:59.800 The foreign ministry also made a statement saying the government, quote,

00:01:04.880 urges the Hondurans taking part in this irregular mobilization not to be used by a movement that is clearly political, end quote.

00:01:14.520 Now, what does that mean?

00:01:16.000 Well, it turns out that this caravan is different from the one coming from Mexico back in April.

00:01:23.880 That previous caravan had serious backing in the form of manpower, organization and money from George Soros.

00:01:32.060 It was a strategic stunt.

00:01:34.680 At that time, it dominated the media.

00:01:37.560 That caravan was directed at causing waves here in the United States.

00:01:42.000 But this current one is not directed to us at all.

00:01:45.780 This is about the radical left-wing politics in Honduras.

00:01:51.340 As the 3,000 migrants crossed into Guatemala, the Guatemala government detained one man.

00:01:59.440 His name is Bartolo Fuentes.

00:02:02.000 He is the organizer of this entire charade that, just like back in April, is beginning now to get massive coverage and even a tweet by President Trump.

00:02:13.540 This is exactly what Fuentes and his merry band of leftists want.

00:02:19.760 He is an ex-deputy of the Honduran Liberty and Refoundation Party.

00:02:25.040 Their members are supporters of the former Honduran president that was ousted by the military in a coup back in 2009.

00:02:36.200 Now, I want you to know, saying that they're leftists doesn't quite do it justice.

00:02:42.200 They wanted to form a partnership with both Hugo Chavez and the Castros to create some sort of South American communist mega alliance.

00:02:52.700 The former president was ousted on the eve of a special election where he wanted to rewrite the Constitution to make sweeping changes.

00:03:01.620 His followers, like this current caravan organizer, never forgot.

00:03:06.980 And they've been staging political stunts ever since to try to undermine the more right-leaning, non-communist government.

00:03:14.760 The use of these migrant caravans, I want you to know, is only going to get worse. 1.00

00:03:25.120 Leftists like Soros, and even this group in Honduras, have no qualms at all with using men, women, and children in incredibly dangerous situations to further their Marxist policies.

00:03:39.400 They don't care about these people.

00:03:43.280 They are doing exactly the same thing that Hamas is doing with the Palestinians in Gaza.

00:03:49.380 They want a showdown at the U.S. border.

00:03:53.420 And you better believe that they want the cameras rolling when it happens.

00:03:58.560 It's Wednesday, October 17th.

00:04:06.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:08.340 So we have Bill O'Reilly coming up in about an hour.

00:04:11.860 I'm going to be gone for the next couple of days.

00:04:13.600 And Bill is going to come in and give us the rundown of the week so far.

00:04:19.620 And we have a lot to discuss.

00:04:21.420 One of them is Saudi Arabia.

00:04:23.460 This story is just getting more and more bizarre.

00:04:26.880 Let me bring you up to speed in case you don't know.

00:04:32.500 The story started a couple of weeks ago with this idea that this Washington Post reporter is suddenly missing.

00:04:42.080 Well, he's not a Washington Post reporter only.

00:04:47.320 His name is Jamal Khashoggi, and he is a Saudi Arabian citizen.

00:04:53.720 He is also a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:04:57.280 His beef with Saudi Arabia in his own what he called self-imposed exile is all about the Saudis not befriending and not not excusing the behavior of the Muslim Brotherhood. 0.76

00:05:13.720 The Saudis are very clear that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and not a friend to Saudi Arabia or really anyone in the world.

00:05:25.040 So he went into self-imposed exile and he came here to the United States.

00:05:33.360 There are claims that he is he was still a Muslim Brotherhood operative.

00:05:39.500 There are also claims that he was feeding us information against the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:05:49.320 I'm not sure which to believe at this point.

00:05:54.040 So he's overseas.

00:05:55.400 He's in Turkey and he's going to get married, but he's been divorced to his wife in Saudi Arabia for him to be able to get remarried.

00:06:05.660 He has to have a divorce certificate from Saudi Arabia.

00:06:10.620 The Saudi Arabians say, well, you're going to have to come into the embassy to get it.

00:06:15.100 Now, he is not a friend to the Saudi Arabian prince, the one who has been this big reformer, and he's going to take Saudi Arabia into the future, and he's good for women, and he's good for human rights and everything else.

00:06:32.460 Khashoggi is not popular with that prince, and that prince has not been popular with Khashoggi.

00:06:41.340 He had been trying to get Khashoggi to come back to Saudi Arabia, but Khashoggi knew that would probably be a death sentence to me.

00:06:51.100 He takes his fiancee.

00:06:53.120 They get into a car, and they drive up to the embassy, the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.

00:06:58.480 He says, I'm going to go in, I'm going to get the paperwork, they're expecting me, I'll be right back out, wait for me.

00:07:05.760 So she did.

00:07:07.300 Hours pass.

00:07:09.180 She starts to call the embassy.

00:07:10.920 She calls his phone.

00:07:12.700 No answer.

00:07:14.060 Nothing.

00:07:16.260 As it turns out, Saudi Arabia first denied that any of this happened,

00:07:22.280 but we now know that they are about to admit.

00:07:28.500 We don't know to what extent,

00:07:32.180 but it looks as though he was interrogated, tortured, and killed.

00:07:38.160 He was then hacked into pieces and thrown onto a Saudi plane in suitcases,

00:07:44.320 and what happened from there, we don't know.

00:07:48.500 Now, there's an additional update today.

00:07:50.980 We have our secretary of state over in Saudi Arabia meeting with the king and the crown prince,

00:07:58.000 who are now saying privately that, yes, this was just somebody who went rogue.

00:08:04.820 But it's kind of hard to believe.

00:08:10.760 The new information today, now, is coming from Turkey,

00:08:15.100 so we don't know if this is true or not.

00:08:19.140 There were two stories.

00:08:22.520 One, the United States came out pretty quickly last week when this story broke and said,

00:08:29.620 we have evidence that this was ordered by Saudi Arabia and he is dead.

00:08:36.800 But they never released where that came from.

00:08:39.540 They just released that this was U.S. intelligence sources, say.

00:08:46.560 That was the first nick.

00:08:48.740 Then the Turks came out and said that they had audio and videotape of this man's interrogation, torture, and killing.

00:09:03.140 I don't know if they do.

00:09:07.160 There is a possibility that they have microwave technology that could listen if the Saudi embassy was not prepared to deal with that kind of surveillance.

00:09:19.560 You can get that kind of audio from inside of a building.

00:09:24.840 But there's also another story that this actually audio arrived first with his fiancée because he had an Apple Watch.

00:09:36.080 And when he went in, he turned it on and it recorded.

00:09:40.520 And when it finished recording, it just uploaded to the cloud and downloaded to her phone.

00:09:48.840 I hope to God that's not true for her sake.

00:09:53.620 I can't imagine, especially since we now are getting the story that this audio that we don't know yet if it exists, includes his interrogation.

00:10:06.620 And then the executioners come in and the head of the embassy said, you can't kill him.

00:10:18.880 You can't kill him in here or I'm going to get into trouble.

00:10:21.840 And what's described as the pathologist from Saudi Arabia, the guy who was in charge of killing and disposing of the body, apparently said to the head of the embassy, if you want to live, you need to get out of here right now.

00:10:38.820 Otherwise, you're next.

00:10:40.000 They knocked Khashoggi unconscious and he was unconscious for a while.

00:10:46.960 Then you hear them apparently starting to get all of the tools and everything ready in the room, ready to start to chop him up.

00:10:58.040 He is still alive when they are dismembering him.

00:11:02.160 And apparently it is a gruesome, gruesome tape.

00:11:07.220 We, again, don't know if that is true.

00:11:13.380 This may be an Archduke Ferdinand moment down the road.

00:11:19.480 This may be the thing that sets the world on fire that doesn't seem like the thing that could set the world on fire.

00:11:27.180 But Saudi Arabia is our ally.

00:11:30.940 We are currently fighting the war on terror with Saudi Arabia.

00:11:34.200 We're currently fighting a proxy war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

00:11:40.060 We are getting ready to sell billions of dollars worth of war machinery to Saudi Arabia.

00:11:47.860 Saudi Arabia is quietly supportive of of Israel now in the Middle East and are taking strong stands to support Israel.

00:11:58.900 They are also an ally with us against Iran.

00:12:03.420 They are a balance of power.

00:12:06.220 If this tape exists and this tape comes out.

00:12:12.260 We have all known that Saudi Arabia is a bad place, but we have not heard the screams.

00:12:19.280 If this tape exists and comes out, people of the world will forever think of Saudi Arabia and put them in the same class as Stalin, as Hitler, as Mao or as Kim Jong Un in in North Korea.

00:12:40.560 But we remember North Korea's crimes we only have sketches of.

00:12:46.420 If this tape exists and comes out, it's a game changer that could destabilize everything.

00:12:54.220 We'll go back into this story in a second.

00:14:12.300 You better hurry.

00:14:13.180 It ends Friday.

00:14:14.000 So, the Saudi Arabia thing is a mess, but we don't know anything for sure because we don't have the evidence.

00:14:28.560 Now, maybe the United States has the evidence.

00:14:30.500 The president has the evidence.

00:14:32.000 I don't know.

00:14:32.720 It's all coming from Turkey. 1.00

00:14:35.080 And Turkey is motivated to destroy Saudi Arabia, possibly to destroy the West, if you want to look at that. 0.55

00:14:41.900 They're looking to build a caliphate.

00:14:43.580 But they also may be playing another game to get closer to the United States.

00:14:48.560 Yeah, I mean, there's an argument to be made.

00:14:49.900 They've released this pastor recently, and they want to maybe send the signal, hey, these guys you're dealing with in Saudi Arabia, they're bad.

00:14:59.520 You should be dealing with us more.

00:15:00.360 You should be selling us arms.

00:15:01.220 You should be working with us more closely.

00:15:03.040 And they're trying to ingratiate themselves to the United States at the expense, more specifically, at the expense of Saudi Arabia because they don't like the closeness of that relationship.

00:15:13.520 There's an argument to be made there.

00:15:14.880 I mean, I think a lot of this is you have to take, when you have two countries that really disagree with each other and don't like each other, you have to take the reports coming out of Turkey with some level of a grain of salt.

00:15:25.100 I mean, you have to.

00:15:25.720 We need more evidence than there's a tape.

00:15:28.180 If there's a tape that at least, we don't need to hear it necessarily, Porter, somewhere with some credibility, needs to hear them and confirm that they exist.

00:15:35.520 Because we've heard a lot of details about what is on this tape, but we have not, obviously.

00:15:39.380 See, if I were Erdogan, I would not release the tape.

00:15:42.720 If I had it, I wouldn't release it yet.

00:15:45.400 I would let Saudi Arabia play this all out.

00:15:48.620 Because remember, last week it was, no, this is crazy.

00:15:52.200 This is conspiracy.

00:15:53.220 This is nuts.

00:15:54.100 Now, it seems that they are saying, yeah, those things happen.

00:15:59.980 So now let's see Saudi Arabia.

00:16:02.040 But again, we still, we, that's all sources too.

00:16:04.560 I know, I know, I know.

00:16:05.740 We still, they have not come out and said, oh, this is a rogue thing that went wrong or an interrogation that went wrong.

00:16:10.300 There are reports through CNN that they're going to say that.

00:16:13.960 Right.

00:16:14.260 But they haven't actually said it yet.

00:16:15.400 And we don't know where that is coming from yet.

00:16:17.780 Yeah, I will say that there's no, there's no need for us to rush to judgment here.

00:16:22.520 And I know, like, people are bashing Trump because he kind of said, oh, well, it's a, you know, it's a guilty until proven innocent.

00:16:29.240 Well, first of all, we should get evidence.

00:16:32.180 If we've learned everything over international relations over the past 20 years is we should make sure we have these things right.

00:16:37.660 Yes.

00:16:37.860 There's also, it's not an imminent, it's not like, okay, it's weapons of mass destruction, for example, to use one that works in this context.

00:16:44.080 We're, where we could be facing an imminent threat of, you know, a bomb going off in a place that kills a lot of people that, you know, we may be able to stop.

00:16:52.480 This is, if this is, this is a prosecution of a crime, right, in our eyes.

00:16:57.140 And if, if they have actually killed this person, they need to be held responsible.

00:17:01.800 However, we don't need to make that decision tomorrow.

00:17:04.520 Nope.

00:17:04.700 We need to make sure that we get it right.

00:17:06.480 We need to actually figure out all the dynamics going on.

00:17:09.340 Just because this is a media phenom today does not mean we need to make a decision today.

00:17:13.680 We just have to make sure we actually take it seriously and look at the facts.

00:17:16.500 This is only a media phenom because it involved a reporter.

00:17:19.820 Yeah.

00:17:20.240 And, and, and the story is so dramatic.

00:17:22.340 As you point out, what was it?

00:17:23.540 It wasn't the first.

00:17:24.520 The Hitchcock movie.

00:17:25.280 Yeah.

00:17:25.660 Rear Window.

00:17:26.340 Right.

00:17:26.500 Rear Window.

00:17:26.880 I mean, you know, it's such a dramatic Hollywood type, crazy 24, you know, Jack Ryan story that you wonder.

00:17:35.880 I mean, it's capturing our attention, which is, is okay.

00:17:39.780 It's just that we have to make sure we're looking at where this stuff is coming from.

00:17:43.480 Right now, it's coming from people with incentive to make Saudi Arabia look bad.

00:17:47.380 My guess is, because I think Saudi Arabia, they're not our friends. 1.00

00:17:51.220 They've done a lot of really bad things.

00:17:53.560 This prince, I mean, remember, this prince took his own family members and other princes hostage in a hotel

00:18:00.620 and likely stole tons of their wealth, including planes.

00:18:06.060 And these specific planes are the ones accused of flying in and taking the remains out in suitcases.

00:18:12.560 So these are the planes the prince confiscated from other family members.

00:18:17.220 I mean, as he held them, you know, in a, you know, Ritz-Carlton prison.

00:18:22.480 So it's a legitimate worry that this guy is an absolute Kim Jong-un style maniac.

00:18:28.520 And if that's happening with Saudi Arabia, it's a lot worse than it's happening, you know, in North Korea in a lot of ways.

00:18:34.520 I mean, we already have a relationship with Saudi Arabia.

00:18:37.120 They're very influential in that region.

00:18:39.000 We know they do this stuff.

00:18:40.280 But we know this stuff goes on in this region already.

00:18:43.000 And we deal with all these countries that do it.

00:18:45.380 Right.

00:18:45.520 But we just have to make sure that there's no reason to feel pressure to not go through an intelligence, you know, full look at this before you start making public proclamations.

00:18:55.340 And you better take this tape seriously, because if I were holding the tape, I would hold it until I see exactly how the United States and Saudi Arabia kind of finagled around and calmed everybody down.

00:19:07.400 And then when everybody says, OK, this is over and they're not such bad guys.

00:19:11.380 And this was a mistake.

00:19:12.360 That's when I dump the tape.

00:19:13.620 If they don't do what you want them to do, if you're Turkey, that's when you dump the tape because it's that that destroys the what credibility Saudi Arabia has ever had.

00:19:24.920 And with me, they've had very little.

00:19:26.880 They're not friends of ours.

00:19:29.220 They are not friends of ours.

00:19:30.940 They are selling us crap that quite honestly, I live in Texas.

00:19:35.160 We don't need it.

00:19:37.200 We don't need it.

00:19:38.760 Open up the fields here in Texas.

00:19:40.800 Start pumping again and bring the price of oil down and let's get off of Saudi Arabia. 1.00

00:19:48.240 We don't need it.

00:19:51.600 But we'll watch this closely.

00:19:54.320 It's a ticking time bomb.

00:19:56.700 Back in a second.

00:19:57.620 A new poll finds that among entertainers, which is an interesting word for this, the most divisive celebrities in America, then the number one, I don't think you'd ever guess.

00:20:15.560 Number two was Sean Hannity.

00:20:19.800 Number three, Rush Limbaugh.

00:20:21.240 I don't put them in an entertainer's role, but then Ellen, LeBron James, Ellen is a device. 0.80

00:20:28.020 I mean, I know that seems like not a divisive character.

00:20:31.140 Um, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and George Clooney.

00:20:37.380 What?

00:20:37.960 Yeah, that's a weird list.

00:20:39.680 Uh, well, who's number one?

00:20:41.900 Uh, Beyonce.

00:20:43.400 That's really weird.

00:20:46.160 Is that based on her Super Bowl performance?

00:20:48.900 I don't even know.

00:20:50.040 She sort of celebrated the Black Panthers?

00:20:53.620 Is that?

00:20:54.240 Maybe.

00:20:55.100 Maybe.

00:20:55.780 I mean, haven't we got over that yet?

00:20:57.560 I mean, we've had a lot of other things that we've had to worry about since then.

00:21:02.360 Interestingly, missing from that list, which you would have once always been on, is Glenn Beck.

00:21:07.420 Yeah.

00:21:07.600 Well, I'm, I'm, uh, I'm, I'm not in that world anymore.

00:21:12.000 I do think people have united and dislike for Glenn.

00:21:14.220 I think that's something that's happened.

00:21:15.560 Wait, hold on.

00:21:15.860 I know it's happened in this world, but I mean, I think it's happened across America.

00:21:18.760 Wait a minute.

00:21:19.100 Wait a minute.

00:21:19.780 Wait a minute.

00:21:20.860 Uh, welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray, who now does, uh, mornings on the Blaze Radio Network.

00:21:26.080 And, uh, Steve Dace, uh, is doing the show immediately following this one.

00:21:31.560 Steve is, uh, on loan from CRTV, uh, and we're pleased to have him.

00:21:38.520 He's really, really good and really smart.

00:21:41.120 And, uh, Pat, of course, is, I think the best morning man in, in America.

00:21:45.420 So don't miss him.

00:21:46.740 You're only saying that because it's true.

00:21:48.860 So I was actually being humble.

00:21:50.580 I was counting myself out, uh, this particular time.

00:21:53.440 Cause that's the kind of guy I am so humble.

00:21:55.460 Anyway, thank you.

00:21:56.300 So, uh, Pat, welcome to the program.

00:21:58.400 Did you watch Cruz and Beto last night?

00:22:00.680 Yeah.

00:22:00.880 Wasn't that, uh, it was fun.

00:22:02.780 Riveting.

00:22:03.220 It was riveting and fun.

00:22:04.580 I think they're really going after each other.

00:22:06.280 I think these two guys genuinely dislike each other.

00:22:09.620 And I know I dislike one of them.

00:22:11.480 A great deal.

00:22:14.140 Gee, I wonder which one.

00:22:15.680 Can you guess?

00:22:16.460 Yeah.

00:22:16.680 Well, you're Irish. 0.63

00:22:17.660 It starts in B and ends in Edo.

00:22:20.700 Interestingly, you, uh, don't seem to like the one who is, uh, the white dude and you like

00:22:26.300 the Hispanic.

00:22:27.100 Isn't that interesting?

00:22:28.080 Which is not consistent with your.

00:22:29.580 Fascinating.

00:22:29.860 Did you notice too, that he's, his name is actually going to appear as just Beto.

00:22:35.640 Well, Beto O'Rourke on the ballot, but that's not going to be Robert Francis Beto in, it is

00:22:40.940 unbelievable.

00:22:41.760 Well, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:22:43.480 Neither is, neither is Ted.

00:22:45.020 I know, but please.

00:22:46.680 What is Raphael?

00:22:47.880 Yes.

00:22:48.740 You know, it's funny.

00:22:49.640 Like, I think that with the, with the quotes, it's, it's an easy way to do it.

00:22:53.460 Right?

00:22:53.640 Like Raphael Ted quote, Ted Cruz is fine.

00:22:56.020 Yeah.

00:22:56.340 Uh, the, you know, Zetto is a nickname though.

00:22:59.440 It is a nickname.

00:23:00.860 I just don't, I don't buy that.

00:23:02.180 It's been his since he was five.

00:23:04.200 Maybe.

00:23:04.520 Anybody buy that?

00:23:05.640 Maybe.

00:23:06.040 He's from El Paso.

00:23:07.380 Maybe.

00:23:07.840 I thought it was a, it was when it was a teenager, he got that nickname.

00:23:10.620 No.

00:23:10.960 Well, when he appeared on, we play this audio all the time on Pac Ray Unleashed, but when

00:23:16.800 he appeared on the El Paso TV morning show back in, I think it was 92 or 93 and he was

00:23:24.360 with his punk rock band, they called him Bob.

00:23:27.220 They called him Bob there.

00:23:28.460 So I, I don't know that it was even, he even had it then, uh, cause the, the host didn't

00:23:35.480 refer to him that way at all and he didn't correct him.

00:23:38.080 So I don't know.

00:23:39.840 I don't know.

00:23:40.620 What's interesting is Ted changed or used the name Ted, uh, uh, to, you know, to, to

00:23:49.240 be more, I guess, American, if you will.

00:23:51.960 Also, I think to separate himself from his father, Raphael, um, but it, that came, that

00:23:57.500 came really early.

00:23:58.520 Uh, and here's an Irish guy.

00:24:01.280 It changes trying to identify as Hispanic.

00:24:04.060 Yeah.

00:24:04.320 Trying to be more Hispanic.

00:24:05.460 It's crazy.

00:24:06.340 He also went so far as back in 2012, try, he tried to, uh, join the Hispanic caucus in

00:24:12.780 the Congress and they said, no, he did not.

00:24:17.240 He did.

00:24:17.600 Yeah.

00:24:17.780 He tried to get into the Hispanic caucus because some of the El Paso residents, his district

00:24:22.460 is 77% Hispanic.

00:24:24.740 So some of the residents were upset that Sylvester Reyes was no longer going to be in the pretty

00:24:30.360 powerful Hispanic caucus.

00:24:31.840 So he tried to join it.

00:24:33.140 They're like, no, the nickname's not enough.

00:24:36.340 Sorry.

00:24:38.680 Really?

00:24:39.460 Yeah.

00:24:39.780 I mean, if we go to the intersectionality of, uh, Beto, uh, nobody's intersecting him.

00:24:45.900 No, nobody's intersecting him.

00:24:48.000 He is still at the top of the hierarchy and the patriarchy pyramid.

00:24:52.620 I have to think of one of my favorite parts of the debate last night was when Beto tried

00:24:57.280 to make this case that every decision Ted Cruz makes is about money.

00:25:01.160 So like he supports the second amendment and that's because of the NRA and he supports

00:25:05.900 this cause.

00:25:06.420 And it's like, you're, you've brought in $38 million of donations, right?

00:25:12.120 You are out raising Cruz by what?

00:25:14.060 Four to one, five to one.

00:25:15.920 Uh, and of course, as Cruz pointed out, he's had plenty of special interest money come in.

00:25:21.040 It's just coming in through other names.

00:25:22.580 It's coming in through packs that he quote unquote doesn't control, which we all know

00:25:26.440 how that game goes.

00:25:27.800 I mean, the idea that you're going to come out and make an, a money, an argument about

00:25:31.100 how Ted Cruz is about money.

00:25:32.540 When the entire story arc of Beto is based on the fact that he can raise money.

00:25:37.220 Well, he's not competitive in this race.

00:25:39.280 He, he has never accomplished anything.

00:25:41.540 Yeah.

00:25:41.760 He is only in the race to run for 2020.

00:25:45.940 But if he loses, how is he, how does he run for 2020?

00:25:48.220 I don't know, but they're still talking about it.

00:25:49.920 They are.

00:25:50.280 Even Robert De Niro was talking about him.

00:25:52.280 He is, he is the, he is their John F. Kennedy.

00:25:55.400 He's the great Democrat hope right now.

00:25:57.980 And may I say the great white hope.

00:26:01.320 Yeah.

00:26:01.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:02.740 It's, it's been fascinating to watch this.

00:26:07.760 He also tried to pin Ted up against Donald Trump since they have the big rally coming

00:26:15.800 up.

00:26:16.220 What is it next Wednesday or Thursday in Houston?

00:26:20.200 And by calling him Lion Ted, like, like Trump did.

00:26:23.940 And he said, that's why the president called him Lion Ted.

00:26:27.080 And it's why his nickname stuck because it's true.

00:26:30.380 Which has never, it's never stuck.

00:26:33.620 And it's never, it's never stuck.

00:26:34.940 It's never been true.

00:26:35.900 And what prompted him to say that about Beto was that he had voted for a bill that would

00:26:42.500 raise the price of oil, 24 cents a gallon to put a $10 surcharge on every barrel of oil,

00:26:48.700 which would raise the price of oil, which would raise the price of $0.24 cents.

00:26:51.720 The price of gas.

00:26:52.640 The price of gas.

00:26:53.640 Yes.

00:26:54.520 So Beto said that was untrue, but he voted against a bill that would have stopped that

00:27:01.480 bill.

00:27:01.960 So it really is true that he did.

00:27:04.380 But they can both kind of claim that they have the truth on their side in that particular

00:27:09.900 case.

00:27:11.440 But it was interesting to me because CNN fact checked Beto on some things that he's been

00:27:17.440 lying about during the campaign.

00:27:18.940 One being that his mother's a lifelong Republican.

00:27:22.060 I love this.

00:27:23.540 Lifelong Republican.

00:27:25.060 Right.

00:27:25.220 But now, you know, because he's so wonderful and he's so uniting.

00:27:30.060 Yeah.

00:27:30.500 She's going to vote for him.

00:27:31.900 For the first time.

00:27:32.660 For the first time.

00:27:33.260 She's a life.

00:27:34.540 That is something.

00:27:35.760 First of all, your mom is going to vote for you.

00:27:38.800 Wow.

00:27:40.900 That's what a revelation.

00:27:43.400 Wow.

00:27:43.520 You got your mom to vote for you.

00:27:46.020 Right.

00:27:46.460 And help me out, Pat, because I think CNN even looked into this one.

00:27:51.080 They sure did.

00:27:51.500 Yeah.

00:27:51.760 He voted for a hardcore Republican named Barack Obama in 2008.

00:27:58.280 Oh, Barry Obama?

00:27:59.300 Yeah.

00:27:59.920 No, here.

00:28:00.620 Barry.

00:28:02.360 Barry.

00:28:03.980 Okay.

00:28:04.900 So here's the interesting thing.

00:28:06.460 I love this part of the expose from CNN.

00:28:10.460 And she can't remember who she voted for in 2016.

00:28:15.960 Wait, you remember 10 years ago, but not two.

00:28:19.600 Weird.

00:28:20.200 Really?

00:28:20.720 You don't know who you voted for.

00:28:23.080 You know, she voted for Hillary and just didn't want to say it.

00:28:25.880 Didn't want to say it.

00:28:27.860 She couldn't.

00:28:29.000 If she voted for, if she voted for Trump, it would work to his advantage.

00:28:35.680 Yeah.

00:28:37.060 She was, she was there.

00:28:38.560 She was part of the Trump thing.

00:28:40.280 Yeah.

00:28:40.580 You know, she wanted change. 0.99

00:28:42.280 She wanted this.

00:28:43.320 It would have worked.

00:28:44.400 Right.

00:28:44.800 But you can't use that.

00:28:46.640 She voted for Obama.

00:28:48.240 In 08.

00:28:48.920 This lifelong Republican.

00:28:50.300 And then she can't remember in 16.

00:28:52.940 The other interesting aspect is that this lifelong Republican has voted in every single Democratic primary in Texas since 2000.

00:29:03.740 That's awesome.

00:29:04.780 And even went so far as donating money to the Obama campaign in 07.

00:29:08.720 I love this from the Federalist on this, too.

00:29:12.880 I don't know.

00:29:13.720 I know a lot about Beto.

00:29:14.780 But at the same time, I don't know much about Senate candidate Josh Hawley, who is 38 years old, meaning, you know, around eight years younger than rising star Beto.

00:29:22.400 The Attorney General of Missouri and the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.

00:29:26.040 What I do know is that Hawley is slightly leading McCaskill, a two-time incumbent in the average poll, in a race that could decide which party controls the Senate.

00:29:33.820 O'Rourke, who's up against Ted Cruz, an incumbent, is down seven points and falling.

00:29:37.840 It wouldn't be completely surprising if Cruz ends up winning Texas by nearly the same margin he did in 2012.

00:29:43.320 As with Hawley, I didn't know much about Arizona's GOP Senate nominee, Martha McSally, either.

00:29:49.060 I'm probably not alone.

00:29:49.920 She didn't get to kibitz with Stephen Colbert or Ellen DeGeneres.

00:29:53.300 Maybe if she used the nickname she was given to her as a teen, she would have a better luck getting attention from the national media.

00:29:59.000 Anyway, what could one of the highest-ranking female pilots in the history of the Air Force and first woman pilot on a combat mission possibly have to offer to Colbert's audience? 0.99

00:30:08.020 Oh, my gosh.

00:30:08.900 Get her on the air.

00:30:10.020 Awesome, right?

00:30:10.240 I want to talk to her on the air.

00:30:11.540 I mean, after all, Beto did skateboard through a Whataburger parking lot.

00:30:16.600 McSally, by the way, also has a chance to win.

00:30:18.080 I think she's going to win in Arizona. 1.00

00:30:20.140 I think she has a really good chance.

00:30:21.520 That's another really tight race.

00:30:23.200 I would also bring up John James into this conversation.

00:30:25.240 We've talked to him before.

00:30:26.220 He's a Senate candidate with a great military background in Michigan.

00:30:30.020 He's got a much tougher race, but he's another great story.

00:30:33.120 These guys get no attention.

00:30:34.780 But Beto, because, I don't know, he's, I guess, a good-looking guy.

00:30:39.360 And he's, you know...

00:30:40.860 He's got neck muscles.

00:30:42.020 He's got neck muscles.

00:30:42.920 He's very shiny, as you may have noticed in the debate.

00:30:45.320 I mean, he's real...

00:30:46.460 He's almost like his face has a mirror painted onto it.

00:30:49.640 It was so shiny last night.

00:30:50.780 He's new and shiny.

00:30:51.320 He's new and shiny.

00:30:52.360 And I guess that's what we want.

00:30:53.180 Look!

00:30:53.200 Look at the shiny thing!

00:30:54.100 Look at the shiny thing!

00:30:56.540 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:30:58.880 Welcome back to the program.

00:31:08.500 We want to remind you that we are out and about.

00:31:10.860 We are coming to a city near you, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

00:31:13.740 It's going to be happening right around election time.

00:31:16.380 And we have some 2020, you know, election suggestions.

00:31:20.640 I'm just...

00:31:21.640 I'm just...

00:31:22.120 Because I'm a helper.

00:31:23.480 I'm a helper.

00:31:24.200 Stu, you're a helper.

00:31:25.180 And we just want to help the democratic socialists out.

00:31:30.000 We've got some extra spending, maybe, that they could consider.

00:31:33.680 Some slogans.

00:31:34.780 I don't necessarily think extra spending is possible.

00:31:37.300 Well, we're going to do the math.

00:31:39.240 We're going to do the math.

00:31:39.760 But we can try.

00:31:40.480 We're going to do the math.

00:31:40.780 I don't think they've taken every dime.

00:31:42.960 That's true.

00:31:43.680 Yeah.

00:31:44.240 It would be difficult to find more to spend or different ways to spend them.

00:31:47.740 Remember Brewster's Millions?

00:31:49.000 Remember this classic documentary from the 1980s,

00:31:51.920 in which Richard Pryor was forced to spend $30 million in 30 days.

00:31:55.880 And if he did so successfully from an inheritance,

00:31:59.100 he would receive the full inheritance of $300 million.

00:32:02.240 This is an important moment in our culture.

00:32:05.620 But it was difficult because he couldn't take any assets.

00:32:09.200 So he couldn't buy a $30 million car.

00:32:10.920 Right.

00:32:11.200 He had to have zero assets at the end of it.

00:32:12.800 And the idea was kind of like the thing where you do with your kids,

00:32:15.040 where you, you know, don't actually do this.

00:32:17.940 But like in the legend of like you have your kids smoke three packs of cigarettes,

00:32:21.360 he gets sick and never wants to smoke another cigarette.

00:32:23.200 Right.

00:32:24.100 So that's kind of the idea.

00:32:25.200 Make sure you get sick of spending money so you're good with money from then on

00:32:28.640 was the idea in the movie, in the documentary.

00:32:31.040 But how did he wind up actually, and this is a spoiler alert from 1983,

00:32:34.700 but how did he wind up spending all the money?

00:32:37.520 He decided to run a political campaign.

00:32:40.060 It was the easiest way to get rid of all of the money at once.

00:32:43.480 So I think, you know, this is kind of the aspect where the Democrats are,

00:32:49.220 which is can they figure out another way to spend money?

00:32:52.540 We may even do a little Brewster's Millions where you come up on stage

00:32:58.460 and you are a Democratic Socialist and you have to spend $60 trillion.

00:33:07.440 Can you do it?

00:33:08.680 It's harder than you think.

00:33:09.820 It is harder than you think.

00:33:11.240 Can you do it?

00:33:12.340 The socialists already have, but can you do it?

00:33:17.060 It's very difficult.

00:33:18.000 Right.

00:33:18.300 Very difficult.

00:33:18.900 So, yeah, we're going to go over that on the tour.

00:33:20.560 Glenbeck.com slash tour is the place to go, by the way, to get the tickets.

00:33:23.460 Grab your tickets.

00:33:24.280 Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a few minutes,

00:33:26.080 and we have a lot to talk to him about.

00:33:30.660 I don't know if you've seen this,

00:33:33.760 but Minnesota's Democratic Farmer Labor Party,

00:33:38.300 this weekend, this last weekend, said Republicans should be brought to the guillotine on November 7th.

00:33:49.460 That's okay, though.

00:33:50.560 That's not as bad as saying you want to target a district to take it over, right?

00:33:54.680 Right.

00:33:55.080 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:55.440 The guillotine is, I mean, you know, that's common language.

00:33:59.100 People always say that.

00:33:59.940 Ah, bring a guillotine. 0.98

00:34:01.100 We can style it.

00:34:01.600 We put those, you know, whoever into a guillotine.

00:34:04.980 Now, I assume, I hate to say this, but I assume they're not actually building guillotines to put Republicans in.

00:34:10.980 I'm not sure.

00:34:11.600 I'm not 100% sure.

00:34:12.820 I'm not sure at this point.

00:34:14.020 I think, I do think Antifa, you know, could be talked into it pretty quickly.

00:34:19.080 Oh, yeah, Antifa probably could. 0.86

00:34:20.520 Roger Williams, the congressman, pointed this out in an op-ed he wrote for the Dallas Morning News,

00:34:24.700 talking about how he was, I don't know, on a baseball field being shot at,

00:34:28.320 and kind of remembers that, and is maybe not so positive on this new Democratic way of thinking,

00:34:36.080 where they're saying, Eric Holder, when Republicans go low, we kick them.

00:34:40.160 Um, Cory Booker says, get up in the face of congresspeople.

00:34:44.100 Maxine Waters, harass members of the Trump administration. 1.00

00:34:47.360 Hillary Clinton, we cannot be civil.

00:34:49.580 All of these things are maybe a little bit more impactful to someone who was being shot at by a Bernie Sanders volunteer

00:34:55.120 on a baseball field, and watching Steve Scalise almost be killed.

00:34:58.700 Yeah, but what's worth?

00:35:00.020 Those things, the guillotine, or horse face.

00:35:03.180 Seriously, what's worse?

00:35:04.280 Wow, that's a great point.

00:35:05.580 I mean, one of those things deserves 24-7 coverage.

00:35:09.620 Oh, I know which one it is.

00:35:10.960 I know, it's definitely the one that's on Twitter.

00:35:14.100 Right, it's, yeah, it's horse face.

00:35:16.080 It's definitely gotta be horse face.

00:35:17.260 It's a much more serious issue.

00:35:18.360 And we all know that, you know, saying horse face, you know what I'm saying?

00:35:24.820 It's, I mean, the question is, what's worse, horse face or the Rwandan genocide?

00:35:29.260 I'm on the fence on that part of it.

00:35:30.960 I'm not sure.

00:35:31.780 They're so close.

00:35:32.980 Right.

00:35:33.240 And deserve the equal amount of coverage.

00:35:35.040 By the way, horse face will get more coverage than the Rwandan genocide ever did.

00:35:38.340 Yes, it already has.

00:35:40.320 Yeah, it already has.

00:35:41.060 It already has.

00:35:41.540 In two days.

00:35:42.100 And funny, I believe horse face may have already beaten the baseball shooting coverage as well.

00:35:49.080 Glenn Beck.

00:35:50.760 Mercury.

00:35:53.560 Glenn Beck.

00:35:55.180 Let me give you a little science fiction.

00:35:57.120 Imagine a world where Hillary Clinton was elected president.

00:36:00.120 A lot would change.

00:36:03.800 Longtime Clinton friend Harvey Weinstein.

00:36:06.280 Harvey Weinstein probably would still have his career as a powerful Hollywood producer because there would be no Me Too movement.

00:36:13.260 In fact, Malia Obama would still be working as an intern for Weinstein.

00:36:19.820 There's no women's march.

00:36:21.280 No Kavanaugh confirmation hearing.

00:36:23.060 The left goes about each day just as smug and self-righteous, badgering the subhuman scum that voted for Donald Trump.

00:36:31.120 President Clinton is a domineering president.

00:36:34.080 She continues her rhetoric about deplorables, further alienating large swaths of the country. 0.57

00:36:40.240 People have hoped for a different future, but their lives now are just an object of ridicule.

00:36:46.980 There's no more weekly protests, no riots, nothing like the circus on television, and slowly America rots to its core.

00:36:55.140 And women everywhere have to take orders from a woman who repeatedly defends her husband, who, well, you know. 1.00

00:37:03.560 Thankfully, that's not the way things went.

00:37:06.560 In fact, they've gone a way that I don't think any of us really could have even imagined.

00:37:11.700 They've gone very differently.

00:37:14.660 And Vox recently posted an article titled, Hillary Clinton's defense of Bill Clinton is why women don't come forward. 0.97

00:37:24.220 Now, if you're Hillary Clinton, you know things are bad when Vox is turning on you. 1.00

00:37:30.800 Everyone is turning their back on her.

00:37:32.740 She's really like a plague, a curse. 0.79

00:37:35.080 She's like, you know, the return of polio.

00:37:38.360 There was like, wait, what's happening?

00:37:39.760 We got to stop that.

00:37:41.780 The Vox article opens with a very telling lie line.

00:37:45.660 The rise of the hashtag Me Too movement has prompted many politicians and public figures to reexamine President Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

00:37:56.240 What?

00:37:58.280 Monica Lewinsky is not the one.

00:38:00.200 Now, this is a reference to the recent backlash that Hillary has faced after unequivocally saying that her husband was right not to resign during the Lewinsky scandal.

00:38:11.200 She then took it further, claiming that the relationship between then President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power. 0.98

00:38:18.860 Well, wait a minute.

00:38:20.160 I thought that's what everyone is supposed to believe, that if you are not aged or you're not on the same power structure,

00:38:30.200 well, then it's abuse.

00:38:32.420 And I also thought we were all supposed to believe all women.

00:38:35.940 Isn't that what the protest signs say?

00:38:37.300 Do I need new glasses?

00:38:39.420 In the Me Too era, it's slowly coming out that one of the greatest villains is the woman who is very nearly the president of this country. 0.90

00:38:50.600 She typifies everything that feminism decries. 1.00

00:38:54.040 As the Vox article concludes, Hillary Clinton will always have a place in feminist history. 1.00

00:39:00.000 Really?

00:39:01.000 But when history of Me Too is written, she may be remembered as someone who supported women until their words hit too close to home.

00:39:11.780 So no matter how bad you think things are, just remember one thing.

00:39:16.460 That was science fiction.

00:39:18.300 It could have been much, much worse.

00:39:20.600 It's Wednesday, October 17th.

00:39:26.040 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:29.020 Bill O'Reilly joins us today.

00:39:30.960 He's not going to be with us on Friday.

00:39:33.320 Bill, I don't know why the left is trying to make a hero now out of Monica Lewinsky. 0.99

00:39:42.980 Monica Lewinsky, let her get on with her life for the love of Pete. 1.00

00:39:46.680 The one that really needs to be re-examined is Juanita Broderick. 1.00

00:39:54.020 Well, it's not going to happen.

00:39:55.520 I mean, it's a bigger picture.

00:39:57.820 First of all, Beck, I'm addicted to outrage like you are.

00:40:00.800 I'm just addicted to outrage.

00:40:06.280 Yes, I know, I know.

00:40:08.780 The bigger picture here is this.

00:40:11.920 The Democratic Party is confused now.

00:40:16.420 They don't know what to do, right?

00:40:20.180 Juanita Broderick claimed that Bill Clinton tried to rape her. 0.79

00:40:24.480 The press never in a million years is going to give that allegation any exposure at all.

00:40:31.640 None.

00:40:32.020 It's not going to happen.

00:40:32.960 So you can talk about it.

00:40:34.600 I can talk about whatever.

00:40:35.460 She had much more.

00:40:37.420 I mean, she was credible.

00:40:39.420 She was credible.

00:40:40.460 It's just not going to happen.

00:40:42.380 They're not going to get back into it.

00:40:44.840 And they didn't report it when it happened.

00:40:48.100 OK, so why are they then getting into the Monica Lewinsky thing? 0.84

00:40:51.780 Because they have to at least acknowledge that Hillary Clinton, beyond all rationality, is putting herself out there in these positions where she has to relitigate this stuff.

00:41:08.120 Now, the reason she's doing it is she wants to remain relevant so she can run again for president. 1.00

00:41:13.900 No, I'm serious.

00:41:15.980 Come on.

00:41:17.240 Come on.

00:41:17.720 Really?

00:41:18.160 Beck, I'm telling you, you know that I'm the most brilliant political analyst in the country.

00:41:23.100 No, I don't.

00:41:23.580 I am telling you that she wants to run again for president in 2020. 0.69

00:41:28.920 No, I know she wants to run.

00:41:30.560 Do you really think she will?

00:41:32.420 It depends.

00:41:34.980 Depends a lot on Biden.

00:41:37.240 It depends a lot on whether she feels that the field against her is weak, which it is absolutely weak.

00:41:47.120 But the bigger picture is that the Democratic Party doesn't know what to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

00:41:53.620 They don't know what to do with them.

00:41:56.020 All right.

00:41:56.380 So Bill Clinton and Hillary are going on a road and talk to their devoted supporters.

00:42:01.780 This isn't an accident.

00:42:03.600 This is a trial.

00:42:05.220 I mean, to see how many people show up, how enthusiastic they are.

00:42:09.020 Bill will say, look, when I was president, we did all this.

00:42:11.940 And Hillary was a great first lady, and she did all this. 1.00

00:42:15.340 And then she was a great senator, and she was a great secretary of state.

00:42:18.100 That's what this is.

00:42:19.420 It's ginning it up across the country to see how it's going to fly.

00:42:25.260 But if you think Hillary Clinton is just going to go away quietly into the night, she's not. 0.84

00:42:30.040 She wants to be president. 1.00

00:42:31.780 And she realizes that the Democratic field, as it stands now, is extremely weak.

00:42:38.360 Who's going to vote for Elizabeth Warren?

00:42:41.040 I mean, that Native American thing.

00:42:43.300 Not the Cherokee people. 1.00

00:42:45.180 No, that crushed her.

00:42:46.900 Yeah.

00:42:47.420 It's horrible.

00:42:48.400 It crushed her.

00:42:49.000 The Boston Globe thought it was doing her a favor by saying, oh, yeah, we got a little bit of blood in there. 0.70

00:42:55.640 And then the Cherokee Nation, the Cherokees themselves, come out and knock it off.

00:43:00.320 If you're not Cherokee, this is a total ruse and fraud. 1.00

00:43:04.440 Knock it off.

00:43:05.440 The Cherokee Indians themselves.

00:43:07.860 It's crazy.

00:43:08.560 And Warren used that ruse, as I say in my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com today, used the ruse to advance her career in academia.

00:43:20.480 So, and this is a woman who thinks she's going to win an election? 1.00

00:43:27.360 She's not.

00:43:28.500 Only in Massachusetts and maybe in Oregon, you know, these states that she could get into the Senate. 1.00

00:43:34.140 But as a national viable candidate, no way.

00:43:38.280 Bill, as the nation's number one political strategist, how could she come out with this whole thing, Elizabeth Warren, without having someone on record from the Cherokee Nation to support her?

00:43:54.100 I mean, how did she not see this coming?

00:43:55.680 She has her grandmother who once told her when she was three that she had high cheekbones, and that's because way, way, way, way back, she was a Cherokee.

00:44:06.320 So her grandmother, you know, was a source of all of this.

00:44:10.060 But look, getting back to Beck's Hillary Clinton scenario, Hillary Clinton is a woman who is obsessed. 1.00

00:44:23.500 Oh, yeah.

00:44:24.800 All right?

00:44:25.140 She doesn't fit into the Me Too movement. 0.83

00:44:28.400 Obviously, she doesn't fit in there because she has her husband. 1.00

00:44:33.120 And she doesn't fit into the far left, even though she panders to them all the time. 0.95

00:44:40.260 Because she's the system. 0.90

00:44:44.800 Yeah.

00:44:45.320 She's a system, a Paul, what they call in New York. 0.94

00:44:50.140 She's a Paul. 0.97

00:44:50.820 So, but she and her husband, and I spent, I was at the Yankee game, and I talked to Bill Clinton for about 20 minutes, as I mentioned to you last time I was on.

00:45:01.000 She and her husband say, you know what?

00:45:03.920 They may not like us, they being the Democratic voters, but we're so much better than what is up there now.

00:45:12.280 I mean, Michael Bloomberg is going to run for president on a Democratic ticket.

00:45:18.120 And, you know, outside of New York, nobody knows who Bloomberg is.

00:45:20.920 Very smart guy, by the way.

00:45:22.700 Extremely intelligent.

00:45:24.080 All right?

00:45:24.660 But he doesn't really have much of a chance, but he's got a lot of dough.

00:45:28.040 He's got a lot of money, and he'll be in there.

00:45:29.540 But other than that, you tell me, if Biden doesn't go, and Biden, I think, is going to be 98 years old next year?

00:45:36.040 I don't know.

00:45:36.840 He's an older senior citizen.

00:45:38.500 I will tell you this, Bill.

00:45:39.800 You know who I think is positioning for a run?

00:45:42.280 And I don't think in 2020, but I think 2024?

00:45:45.240 I don't think it's going to be Hillary Clinton that will be the first first lady that becomes president. 1.00

00:45:49.960 I think it could be Michelle Obama.

00:45:51.340 Maybe.

00:45:53.100 I'm not sure whether Michelle Obama has the drive, but certainly she would be formidable. 0.98

00:46:03.440 And then there's Barack, and it's the reverse, you know.

00:46:06.460 But they don't have the resume.

00:46:09.260 I mean, the Obamas, even if you don't like them, I mean, they've conducted themselves pretty well.

00:46:14.840 I'm not sure you need the resume.

00:46:19.760 I mean, I heard The Rock say, you know, if I'm going to seriously do this, you know, I've got to actually run something.

00:46:28.240 I can't just be in movies.

00:46:29.900 And I thought to myself, I'm not sure that matters.

00:46:32.620 It doesn't matter anymore.

00:46:34.060 Trump has smashed that.

00:46:35.860 But it's certainly a plus for Michelle Obama because she doesn't have any little attachments. 0.99

00:46:42.400 And so that, you know, that's not going to be a diversion.

00:46:45.720 So you might be right there.

00:46:46.860 I mean, I don't know her that well.

00:46:48.640 I've met her a few times.

00:46:51.060 I know she was very powerful in the White House.

00:46:54.660 Extremely powerful.

00:46:55.860 And that was kept very quiet.

00:46:57.860 And I think...

00:46:58.600 You might be right.

00:46:59.020 You might, you know, this isn't her time the next time around.

00:47:01.900 She doesn't want to go up against Trump.

00:47:04.680 Certainly doesn't want to do that.

00:47:06.340 But in 224, absolutely.

00:47:08.300 She could, if she wanted it, I think the Democratic Party would rally around her. 1.00

00:47:14.040 Yeah.

00:47:14.420 All right.

00:47:14.860 When we come back, I want to talk to you about Antifa and what is going on in the streets of Portland.

00:47:21.780 More with Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:47:24.320 And don't forget, his new book is out, Killing the SS, which is fantastic.

00:47:29.000 Pick it up and grab my book at the same time.

00:47:31.660 Buy them as a set.

00:47:32.960 I think that's what Amazon is recommending.

00:47:35.680 People who bought this, bought this too.

00:47:37.940 So, grab them because they're both really good.

00:47:41.620 All right.

00:49:09.420 I'll play some audio for you from Portland.

00:49:13.960 This is a woman who is standing, waiting to cross the street. 0.99

00:49:18.640 She is a widow of a New York police officer who lost his life on 9-11.

00:49:25.220 And Antifa is standing behind, and they are just, well, listen, here it is.

00:49:31.900 Why are you trying to block me?

00:49:33.200 I'm trying to walk here.

00:49:35.960 Because I obey traffic signals.

00:49:38.020 You're a narky little idiot. 1.00

00:49:40.120 Shut the up. 0.95

00:49:41.260 Try something.

00:49:42.040 I'm not going to punch you.

00:49:44.820 I'm not like your husband.

00:49:46.260 I'm not going to punch you.

00:49:47.180 I'm not like your boyfriend or your cop boyfriend who's going to knock you out.

00:49:51.480 So don't worry.

00:49:52.500 My husband died in 9-11.

00:49:55.060 Good for him.

00:49:56.200 Good.

00:49:57.680 Good.

00:49:58.260 Those NYPD were a bunch of sodomizers. 1.00

00:50:01.920 Sodomizing immigrants with their bully sticks. 1.00

00:50:04.480 So, yeah, you're a f***ing, you're a husband.

00:50:07.340 She's probably f***ing, she's brought in the grave. 1.00

00:50:13.420 Bill?

00:50:14.420 Yeah.

00:50:15.940 Look, the good news is there aren't many of these people.

00:50:21.380 It's not like Germany where the SA and Antifa are the same.

00:50:27.180 It's the same people.

00:50:28.740 The SA were Hitler's street thugs who went out and beat up anybody who opposed Nazism and all that.

00:50:36.300 And they were, they had little uniforms, little brown shirts.

00:50:39.380 They ran around.

00:50:40.520 And the authorities did the same thing they're doing in Portland, Oregon.

00:50:44.060 They stepped back and let these SA bully boys beat up innocent people and insult them like that. 0.97

00:50:50.840 Exactly the same.

00:50:52.360 No difference.

00:50:53.900 This happens.

00:50:54.660 I want everybody to get that.

00:50:55.800 Yeah, this happens.

00:50:56.720 I mean, it happened with the black shirts as well in Italy.

00:51:00.600 This is Mussolini's guy.

00:51:03.080 And that's what they do.

00:51:04.580 That's the blueprint.

00:51:05.680 Right.

00:51:06.000 Okay, so here's the story.

00:51:07.780 I used to work in Portland, Oregon.

00:51:09.500 I worked at Channel 2 there.

00:51:12.380 And a beautiful place, beautiful state.

00:51:15.380 But Multnomah County, where Portland is located, is a far left hippie place.

00:51:20.720 And there has been that for many, many years, where they are permissive.

00:51:25.480 They want the farthest left politicians they can get, and they have it.

00:51:30.540 So now you've got a guy, Wheeler, the mayor of the town, who runs the police bureau.

00:51:34.260 That's what they call it there.

00:51:35.640 And he basically says, I'm not going to enforce the law.

00:51:37.860 Not going to do it.

00:51:38.840 And that poor woman is going to be assaulted verbally and not allowed to walk where she wants. 1.00

00:51:46.840 And that's okay with me, Mayor Ted Wheeler.

00:51:50.820 That's fine.

00:51:52.440 And I'm going to tell my officers, don't help that woman. 1.00

00:51:56.100 Don't interfere there.

00:51:57.640 And also, I'm going to let Antifa surround the ICE headquarters, and I'm going to let them do pretty much whatever they want to do, including fighting on the street, using masks over their faces, carrying weapons.

00:52:14.420 They can do whatever they want to do.

00:52:17.580 Now, this is America.

00:52:19.600 You would think the people of Portland, Oregon would rise up, right?

00:52:24.520 That they would go out in the Rose City with signs condemning the mayor and Antifa en masse, tens of thousands of them.

00:52:36.680 They gather by the Willamette River with the signs, this is not the city we want.

00:52:43.420 Do you got anybody out there doing that?

00:52:45.220 Nobody.

00:52:46.660 So this is the problem.

00:52:48.240 The problem is not Wheeler.

00:52:49.500 The problem is not Antifa.

00:52:50.680 The problem is the people in Portland, Oregon.

00:52:55.900 And that's why I wrote Killing the SS, because I'm saying we better wake up here in America.

00:53:01.640 We better wake up and confront evil.

00:53:04.200 And Antifa is evil. 0.92

00:53:06.680 So I think you did.

00:53:09.100 And I've got a lot to ask you about on this.

00:53:11.380 But let me let me start with this.

00:53:14.180 Why do you suppose that there isn't an uprising in Portland?

00:53:24.180 Are they are they blind to it for some reason?

00:53:28.520 Or do they actually support it?

00:53:30.240 Are they afraid to come out?

00:53:31.760 What is the what's the real leadership in Mulder County?

00:53:35.320 So if I were still working in Channel 2, I'd be doing commentaries going, OK, I'm going

00:53:40.280 to be out on the banks of the Willamette River.

00:53:43.800 I'm going to be there at 10 in the morning on a Saturday.

00:53:46.720 I want you all to come out and support what I'm doing.

00:53:49.540 OK, nobody's going to do that.

00:53:51.480 There's nobody in town going to do that with any visibility at all.

00:53:54.940 Number two, unfortunately, because there are many, many, many good people in Portland

00:53:59.920 and Multnomah County and I have friends there.

00:54:02.020 Most people are selfish.

00:54:04.440 All right.

00:54:04.880 They're into their own pursuits.

00:54:06.540 They're doing whatever they want to do.

00:54:08.560 And you know what?

00:54:09.380 This is an annoyance.

00:54:10.680 But I don't really want to spend time on this.

00:54:15.340 And then maybe they're not like me.

00:54:17.580 And maybe Antifa will hit me or I'm not going to do it.

00:54:22.540 It's a selfish thing.

00:54:24.160 And it's not just in Portland, Oregon.

00:54:26.040 I mean, we have to really, as a people, we really have to start to rise up and say,

00:54:31.400 hey, you know what?

00:54:32.240 We want due process.

00:54:34.280 We want a presumption of innocence.

00:54:35.960 We don't want thugs on the streets in masks beating people up and telling women that their 0.61

00:54:41.020 husband should rot in a grave. 1.00

00:54:42.720 We don't want that.

00:54:44.760 OK, so in Portland, do we have any Democratic?

00:54:47.820 Because it's all Democrats.

00:54:49.660 100%.

00:54:50.180 Got any politicians there?

00:54:51.580 Got the governor of Oregon doing anything about this?

00:54:53.920 Saying anything about it?

00:54:54.880 No, no, no, no.

00:54:58.220 Uh-uh.

00:54:59.140 And that's how far we've come.

00:55:00.800 That's how far we've declined.

00:55:03.080 So, Bill, I want to talk to you a little bit more about this.

00:55:06.520 And just one thing.

00:55:08.300 And when you say we've got to stand up and fight this, I'd like to hear your opinion on

00:55:13.720 what exactly that means.

00:55:15.740 But also, when we come back, I want to take you to Saudi Arabia.

00:55:19.580 Things have gotten even more bizarre.

00:55:21.900 Now they're saying that Khashoggi was alive and aware as they were dismembering him.

00:55:30.620 It is just an amazing story.

00:55:34.180 I'd love to hear your take on it.

00:55:36.600 And also, if you were the president or advising the president, what would you do when we come back?

00:55:42.380 Bill, the frustration is growing in America.

00:55:49.760 The press is excusing Antifa.

00:55:53.300 They are excusing everything that Democrats are saying.

00:55:57.540 Another Democrat up in Minnesota came out over the weekend and said, it's time to bring the guillotines out for the Republicans.

00:56:06.420 I mean, it's remarkable what is being said and dismissed when there is actual violence on the streets.

00:56:14.300 You said a minute ago, you know, rise up and fight this.

00:56:19.960 How do you do that and not make things worse?

00:56:23.080 Well, I think you do it peacefully, number one.

00:56:25.240 And I think that various people have to say, you know, let's get a little group together.

00:56:33.720 And maybe we go out and stand in the park with some signs saying whatever.

00:56:39.080 Or maybe we write a letter to the editor of our local newspaper with 500 signatures attached to it.

00:56:45.860 So the Oregonian, for example, a very left-wing newspaper, you know, you say, okay, we'd like to have some space for an op-ed.

00:56:53.940 We have a community group, and this is the way we feel about it.

00:56:56.720 There are things you can do to be visible in your local community.

00:56:59.640 It doesn't have to be a big national thing because that's almost impossible.

00:57:03.240 But I'm trying to get people to understand the evil that's growing in America, which is, you know, what killing the SS is really essentially about.

00:57:11.380 And a lot of people still want to look away at it.

00:57:13.860 They don't want to engage.

00:57:17.560 And if we continue down this road with the press being, as you just pointed out, solidly aligned with the most progressive, the most anarchistic elements in our society, the press sympathizes with all of them.

00:57:34.320 They sympathize with open borders.

00:57:36.080 They sympathize with legalized narcotics.

00:57:38.660 They sympathize with not prosecuting violent crimes.

00:57:42.080 The press and mass is an agency now that advances socialism and progressive causes.

00:57:50.940 And that's the big difference.

00:57:52.800 We didn't have that.

00:57:53.980 What was that, a left-wing press?

00:57:55.580 We didn't have an activist left-wing press, and that's what we have now.

00:57:59.000 Well, let me ask you this.

00:58:00.380 I beg to differ with you on the activist press if you look at, you know, the 1960s, some of them.

00:58:09.920 We don't have it.

00:58:10.520 We've never had it like this, but we have had it in the past.

00:58:14.980 If somebody stood up, let's say, you know, some group with standing in the community stood up and they did a nonviolent, you know, protest, a nonviolent march, a march for justice and nonviolence or whatever.

00:58:31.320 And they followed the king rules where you just never swing back.

00:58:39.080 That group most likely is going to be beaten for doing it by Antifa.

00:58:44.220 But in the 1960s, the press played that coverage.

00:58:49.360 I don't think the press plays that coverage this time.

00:58:52.100 You know, somebody else will take a cell phone video and throw it out, which is what happens over the weekend.

00:58:57.320 Is that enough?

00:58:58.140 Any group doing that would have to hire security.

00:59:01.300 They'd have to hire people to protect them.

00:59:04.880 You can do this.

00:59:06.440 It just takes leadership.

00:59:09.680 It takes organization.

00:59:11.780 But on the press thing, look, let's segue into Saudi Arabia now,

00:59:16.480 because the press is actively trying to go, you saw it on 60 Minutes, you saw Leslie Stoll try to do it,

00:59:25.240 Trump into basically dismissing Saudi Arabia.

00:59:30.480 All right?

00:59:31.020 Well, they want to not trade with them.

00:59:34.000 They want to crush that nation because the nation is, quote, unquote, bad.

00:59:39.180 Okay.

00:59:39.900 I'm not going to stick up for Saudi Arabia. 1.00

00:59:41.740 It is bad.

00:59:42.420 But Saudi Arabia is the bulwark against Iran and the Middle East. 0.97

00:59:47.460 It's the leader of Jordan and Egypt and that movement to blunt Iran's terrorism and destruction of Israel. 0.95

00:59:57.580 Saudi Arabia is leading that charge. 0.56

01:00:00.440 So why on earth does the American left want to destroy that nation?

01:00:04.620 When, in history, we allied ourselves with Stalin, who was killing millions of people while we were allied with him because we had to defeat Hitler. 0.74

01:00:16.620 All right?

01:00:17.020 And you can just give a thousand other examples of countries that we had to do business with that were bad countries for the greater good.

01:00:25.620 But the left-wing press now says to Trump, you're an idiot because you are not destroying Saudi Arabia.

01:00:33.980 You should destroy them and then not trade with them, sanction them, boycott them, all of that. 0.99

01:00:40.620 And then you turn around and go, the unintended consequence of that is that the whole alliance against Iran falls apart.

01:00:48.080 And Iran is empowered eight times as much as they are now. 0.86

01:00:52.380 And so is the Muslim Brotherhood. 0.94

01:00:54.060 Yeah, and the left-wing press doesn't care. 0.74

01:00:57.840 What happened to ISIS?

01:00:59.440 Have you seen one article from the mainstream media about how the Trump administration destroyed ISIS?

01:01:05.140 No.

01:01:05.360 Have you seen one?

01:01:06.200 No.

01:01:07.020 Under Obama, ISIS ran wild and killed tens of thousands of innocent people for eight years.

01:01:14.460 For eight years.

01:01:16.640 Trump gets in there in the first year, he wipes them out because of Mathis, the defense secretary.

01:01:22.180 And he didn't do it in a very public way.

01:01:25.540 It was all done behind the scenes.

01:01:27.100 But you can get those articles.

01:01:29.200 You can get those stories.

01:01:30.640 Nobody even tried to get them.

01:01:32.580 All right.

01:01:32.800 So, Bill, here's the problem with Saudi Arabia, as I see it.

01:01:37.220 You're exactly right.

01:01:38.740 We're in a no-win situation.

01:01:41.580 In fact, I think we're in a lose-lose situation here.

01:01:44.740 Standing with people who we've known forever.

01:01:47.140 They do this kind of thing all the time.

01:01:49.740 Yeah.

01:01:50.020 They're bad people.

01:01:51.640 We shouldn't have been in bed with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the first place. 0.76

01:01:55.600 But we were, and now they're a strong ally that is one of the only ones that is standing up for Israel, at least quietly, fighting the Muslim Brotherhood and fighting Iran. 0.92

01:02:10.120 We have a lot of aligned interest, even though I don't want to be in bed with them.

01:02:16.060 But now, how do you get out?

01:02:18.400 You can't get out.

01:02:20.380 Well, but wait a minute.

01:02:21.360 Saudi Arabia, this is different because if there is a tape of this guy being dismembered while he was alive, this will set the world on fire.

01:02:33.800 It's different.

01:02:34.940 And then you sanction Saudi Arabia in a way that hurts them, but doesn't destroy the kingdom.

01:02:42.300 That's what you have to do.

01:02:44.760 So, but look, Trump doesn't have the heart for this.

01:02:49.180 He doesn't want to cancel the arms deals that enrich America.

01:02:51.980 He doesn't want to do it.

01:02:53.120 And the reason that we have a relationship with Saudi Arabia anyway is because they headed OPEC.

01:02:58.640 We needed that oil in the 60s and 70s and 80s.

01:03:01.760 They don't anymore, but now Silicon Valley takes a lot of their money.

01:03:05.400 Right.

01:03:05.940 So, I have, I say, punish them.

01:03:09.480 You know, when it comes out, and I believe firmly they did it.

01:03:12.920 I do, too.

01:03:13.320 I don't think there's any doubt that they did it.

01:03:14.900 This guy walked into the consulate in Istanbul, the Saudi consulate, and he was butchered or whatever.

01:03:21.800 Okay?

01:03:22.340 They did it.

01:03:23.300 And I believe that Sultan, that guy running the place, he ordered it right to the top.

01:03:28.760 So, when that comes out, then Trump has to say, we're going to do this and figure out a way to punish them, but not destroy them.

01:03:39.460 That's what has to happen for the good of America.

01:03:42.480 And do you think they'll take that punishment?

01:03:46.740 They've said that if we respond, they have to, right?

01:03:50.460 Yeah, yeah.

01:03:50.960 I mean, it's just like Turkey.

01:03:52.260 When they're letting the pastor out, Erdogan's, oh, I'm not going to let him out.

01:03:55.880 Well, he's out.

01:03:56.560 I mean, Saudi Arabia can't exist without the United States. 0.95

01:04:00.620 They can't exist without the United States, because Iran will go in there and cause so much trouble that the place will collapse. 1.00

01:04:12.080 And so they need the United States.

01:04:13.500 They can say whatever they want to say.

01:04:14.780 They need us.

01:04:15.960 And they've got to pay a price for this.

01:04:17.760 They absolutely have to pay a price for it.

01:04:20.040 Do you think Turkey has the tape, or is this bluster? 0.66

01:04:23.380 How can I possibly know, Rick?

01:04:24.840 I've been to Turkey three times.

01:04:27.500 All right.

01:04:27.880 I don't know what tape they have or what channel they watch.

01:04:30.640 I don't know anything what they do.

01:04:31.860 I would think the leading national strategists in politics would at least have some idea.

01:04:36.860 Some clue, I guess.

01:04:38.280 I mean, I would think so, too.

01:04:40.140 I mean, in the Saudi consulate is Saudi Arabian territory.

01:04:44.660 The Turks have no access. 1.00

01:04:45.760 They did go in, by the way, which is interesting.

01:04:48.180 And they say, yeah, we found some chemical agents of them, and somebody painted something.

01:04:53.100 But let's just wait.

01:04:54.160 But I don't think anybody listening to us right now should have any doubt that this guy was assassinated by the Saudi government. 0.98

01:05:01.740 It's amazing how close this is to Rear Window, the Hitchcock movie.

01:05:06.660 I mean, it's really, I mean, it's, you know, if the Muslim Brotherhood and Giant Swords were involved.

01:05:11.760 Bill, always good to talk to you.

01:05:14.440 The book, Killing the SS, absolutely worth the read.

01:05:19.120 It applies to today.

01:05:20.920 Shows real heroes and real, real villains that got away with it for quite some time.

01:05:26.240 Yeah, and I want to tell everybody I had back on the No Spin News on Bill O'Reilly.com yesterday for a rollicking 20-minute interview, which we posted now, so anybody can see it.

01:05:37.740 You don't have to be a premium member to watch it.

01:05:39.320 You were pretty tame.

01:05:40.540 You were pretty tame.

01:05:41.480 I thought maybe you were asleep there for a while.

01:05:43.760 Well, you and I, I mean, you and I are simpatico on most issues now.

01:05:47.960 I mean, I don't know about that, but.

01:05:49.740 I think it's because having me on every week, you have now thought about, you know, Bill is really right.

01:05:55.920 No, no.

01:05:56.440 Moderated your position.

01:05:57.700 No?

01:05:58.280 Uh-uh.

01:05:58.840 No?

01:05:59.140 No, I think you came my way.

01:06:00.960 I think you stopped saying, oh, Beck, oh, that's crazy.

01:06:05.360 I think you're seeing it now.

01:06:06.400 I mean, the only thing I did point out was that you're looking more and more like Colonel Sanders every day.

01:06:09.720 And I feel sorry for the colonel, because he's being told every day, you look more and more like Glenn Beck.

01:06:14.540 And he's like, I'm the chicken guy.

01:06:16.760 People actually walk up to you and order tubs of chicken and mashed potatoes.

01:06:20.260 Do they actually do that?

01:06:21.300 Like they think that they're going to get a tub of chicken away from me?

01:06:24.400 I don't think so.

01:06:26.000 Bill, good to talk to you.

01:06:27.160 Thank you so much.

01:06:28.320 BillOReilly.com.

01:06:31.820 Sponsor this half hour is Blinds.com.

01:06:35.540 We all have experience with Blinds.com.

01:06:37.880 They changed the look of my master bedroom.

01:06:41.160 I mean, I bought this house, and I swear to you, it was like Donald Trump decorated it when I bought it.

01:06:46.720 It was a little over the top.

01:06:50.860 A little over the top.

01:06:52.100 And, you know, the bedroom is the last thing that, at least in my family, it's the last thing that gets anything.

01:06:59.620 You know?

01:07:00.320 Because nobody goes in there except, you know, for the family.

01:07:03.420 And so, you know, you're just like, ah, we'll spend money on that later.

01:07:06.100 I think I gave to my wife as maybe our anniversary present or something that we would finally redo our master bedroom.

01:07:14.360 And we had Blinds.com help us.

01:07:16.520 And it's beautiful.

01:07:19.560 Just changing the drapes in a room changes everything.

01:07:25.580 They're good at helping you actually figure out what to do, too.

01:07:27.840 Because I have no eye for that.

01:07:29.000 You do.

01:07:29.560 You have a really good eye for it.

01:07:30.660 When it comes to something big like the drapes and stuff, I just, that's one step that I just, I'm like, I don't know.

01:07:39.320 I don't know.

01:07:39.700 Yeah, because you can take pictures and send them to them, and they'll actually look at them and help you design.

01:07:44.140 Yeah.

01:07:44.300 And here's what we think would look good.

01:07:45.540 Right.

01:07:45.760 And then they'll put the drapes in the picture, and you'll be like, okay, that's great.

01:08:46.800 He was in town, so we recorded something here for his program.

01:08:51.500 And we kind of hit a little bit of all of it.

01:08:56.280 So, join me on the Rubin Report today with Dave Rubin, also on Bill O'Reilly's program.

01:09:04.140 And Stu is going to be on the couch, I think.

01:09:09.560 I'm not really sure what you bring to the table, man.

01:09:12.640 I'm slaving.

01:09:13.580 I'm working my brains out.

01:09:15.020 Yeah, you definitely seem like you're doing that.

01:09:17.600 But you're showing the signs of it.

01:09:19.800 Let's put it that way.

01:09:20.760 That my brains are being worked out.

01:09:21.900 You look as if you're working about six times more hours than there are in the day, which is...

01:09:26.880 Yeah.

01:09:27.340 What I'm saying is your appearance is a negative...

01:09:30.600 It's slacking.

01:09:31.240 Yeah, I know.

01:09:31.700 Thank you.

01:09:32.480 Thank you.

01:09:32.980 I appreciate it.

01:09:33.420 Weathered is the...

01:09:34.300 Yes.

01:09:34.860 Thank you.

01:09:35.440 I appreciate that.

01:09:36.420 Oh, okay.

01:09:36.580 By the way, I want to thank everybody who has supported the Blaze and supported us, especially

01:09:42.540 over the last few years.

01:09:43.920 I mean, it's been a rough few years.

01:09:47.960 And our subscriptions are up and our visits to the website come back over a million a day,

01:09:58.200 which is fantastic.

01:10:00.360 And we're just...

01:10:01.580 We're thrilled.

01:10:02.380 Thank you.

01:10:03.000 Thank you.

01:10:03.400 Thank you for watching and listening to our podcast.

01:10:07.240 Thank you for finding the Blaze News on Apple News.

01:10:11.260 We're making a big impact now on Apple News, which is really fantastic.

01:10:15.740 So we thank you for sticking with us.

01:10:18.900 And just stick around, because we have some really good things coming your way.

01:10:24.100 And an announcement...

01:10:25.600 Well, I was supposed to make it this week, and it keeps getting delayed.

01:10:28.180 And so it may have to be next week, because I'm not going to be here tomorrow or the next.

01:10:32.100 Glenn has purchased the Cleveland Browns, and we'll be running that franchise from now

01:10:36.620 on.

01:10:37.360 So hopefully you're excited for that in Cleveland.

01:10:40.220 Yeah.

01:10:40.600 He doesn't know anything about sports, but...

01:10:42.360 No.

01:10:42.920 No.

01:10:43.300 I'm not even sure if that's baseball or football, but it could be basketball.

01:10:46.520 Well, your big issue with them was you wanted to change their brown costumes.

01:10:50.020 Yeah.

01:10:50.140 I don't like their brown costumes.

01:10:51.400 Yeah.

01:10:51.460 And that's one of the things.

01:10:53.020 I think that's why they're either really good or really bad.

01:10:57.620 I'm not sure.

01:10:58.160 Right.

01:10:58.540 But they have to have the costumes changed, because they're not.

01:11:01.680 That's not good.

01:11:02.620 You're a bit of a fashionista.

01:11:04.460 Well, but I'm also very into Ohio sports.

01:11:07.940 You know, the Cavs.

01:11:10.720 The Cavs.

01:11:11.200 I thought that was a really stupid name, because, I mean, why a baby cow?

01:11:16.600 I mean, who's afraid of a baby cow?

01:11:18.520 That's not...

01:11:19.040 That's...

01:11:19.280 They're not fast.

01:11:20.340 They have hooves.

01:11:21.960 They can't...

01:11:23.120 Have you considered, but maybe it's the muscles on the back of your leg.

01:11:28.440 Not that you have...

01:11:29.180 I never thought of it that way.

01:11:30.200 Yeah.

01:11:30.440 So that would be better.

01:11:31.340 But what a...

01:11:32.000 I mean, what is your...

01:11:33.520 What is your...

01:11:33.540 Oh, jump. 0.99

01:11:33.980 There's a lot of jumping in basketball.

01:11:35.080 I know.

01:11:35.280 But what's the mascot look like?

01:11:38.000 The back of a leg.

01:11:39.040 Yeah.

01:11:39.640 That's what I would go with.

01:11:40.800 That's really...

01:11:41.400 I don't know.

01:11:42.420 There's another direction, per se.

01:11:44.240 Yeah.

01:11:44.480 That would be really kind of weird.

01:11:45.680 How do you feel about the Indians?

01:11:47.280 Are you offended by their...

01:11:48.480 No, I love the Indians.

01:11:49.800 I love the Indians.

01:11:50.700 I think, actually, we should start a team of some sort, and we should come up with a Native 0.92

01:11:55.060 American name ourself.

01:11:56.620 Really?

01:11:56.980 Yeah.

01:11:57.440 Yeah.

01:11:57.920 I'm a...

01:11:58.540 You know...

01:11:58.780 People seem to be going the other way.

01:12:00.700 They're all...

01:12:01.500 Yeah, and I think it's about time that we go the other way.

01:12:05.660 I think it's about...

01:12:07.080 I kind of had enough of it.

01:12:08.780 So, you know, if you have a name for something, you know, that we start a baseball team or,

01:12:17.200 you know, something, you know, just inside the blaze, that'd be cool.

01:12:21.160 You can send us the team name and the mascot, and we'll get together and have a powwow about

01:12:26.400 it and see what we can do.

01:12:29.880 Glenn Beck.

01:12:30.720 It's Wednesday, October 17th.

01:12:33.800 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:35.780 So we have Ephraim Matos in with us, and Ephraim was with us a couple months ago, I think.

01:12:42.260 And he has put out a new book called City of Death, Humanitarian Warriors in the Battle

01:12:48.660 of Mosul.

01:12:49.940 Yes.

01:12:50.340 Welcome.

01:12:51.100 Glad you're here.

01:12:51.500 Thank you.

01:12:51.640 Thank you for having me back on.

01:12:52.540 You bet.

01:12:53.100 So tell me a little bit about the battle and recap where we've been together before with

01:12:59.200 this book.

01:12:59.560 So tell the story.

01:13:00.720 Okay.

01:13:00.980 So last time I was on, we talked about the book, and we talked about the Nazarene Fund.

01:13:06.340 So the book is about a journey I basically went on last year, a humanitarian work I did

01:13:13.020 in northern Iraq to help with the fight against ISIS.

01:13:17.460 So as a former SEAL, it was a natural fit for me to go and help.

01:13:22.360 And now I originally thought I was just going to be doing, you know, the standard humanitarian

01:13:26.260 thing of handing out water bottles, doing a little bit of medical aid.

01:13:29.480 Well, when I got in there, the team I was with, a group called the Free Burma Rangers,

01:13:34.840 we ended up embedding with the Iraqi army and basically becoming their frontline medical

01:13:40.720 support because they just don't have the resources to do that themselves.

01:13:44.360 And so I was not a medic.

01:13:46.300 I was a sniper.

01:13:48.060 And, but I had pretty good medical training for my time as a SEAL.

01:13:51.020 And so we actually ended up being involved in the direct assault into Mosul to open up the

01:13:57.820 Western Front in Mosul and finally collapse the caliphate in Mosul.

01:14:04.040 And we were in the city for about 30 days.

01:14:06.400 From the day that we entered the city to the day that I ended up getting shot on a rescue

01:14:10.480 mission, it was exactly 30 days.

01:14:12.620 And what happened in Mosul was just, it was something I thought I would never see in my

01:14:19.360 lifetime.

01:14:20.340 You see evil, you see pictures of World War II, you see killing fields, you see these black 1.00

01:14:25.420 and white photos and you think, I'll never see something like that.

01:14:28.300 You know, there's a certain amount of denial that you have.

01:14:30.960 Well, I saw it and it was real.

01:14:33.580 And so in City of Death, I talk about my experience of going in there and sort of being caught off

01:14:39.940 guard with the amount of violence and the fighting that was happening.

01:14:44.520 But more importantly, the acts of heroism on the side of the Iraqi army and of the other

01:14:52.680 guys I was with.

01:14:53.540 It was amazing to see these guys laying down their lives for others.

01:14:57.580 Give us an example of, you know, that black and white film and then the heroism around it.

01:15:03.840 So, yeah, you look at old World War II photos, right?

01:15:07.500 You got these black and white pictures of killing fields.

01:15:10.140 Well, on June 2nd of last year, it was early morning and we saw a fresh killing field.

01:15:16.620 We were literally at the very, very front edge of the Iraqi army advance.

01:15:20.260 And we looked out into this, what used to have been like a six lane highway through the city.

01:15:26.740 It was completely rubbled and mortar holes and it was completely rubbled.

01:15:31.200 But we started seeing bodies.

01:15:32.640 We started seeing bodies of dead kids, elderly people.

01:15:36.540 There was a man in a wheelchair slumped over.

01:15:38.760 He'd been executed.

01:15:39.640 And we started seeing dozens and dozens of bodies.

01:15:42.740 And so, in City of Death, I talk about how we got up there.

01:15:47.920 We saw what was happening.

01:15:49.440 But as bad as it was, we saw people still alive in the bodies.

01:15:54.480 There were children walking around unwounded and they were in shock.

01:16:00.340 And they'd been out there for about 36 hours at this point.

01:16:03.480 And their dead relatives are everywhere and they're going around from body to body trying to find water, trying to find food.

01:16:10.100 And so, we saw four kids alive and two wounded men slumped up against a wall in a pile of about 20 bodies.

01:16:16.220 The most grotesque, terrible thing you can imagine.

01:16:18.420 Why did they do this?

01:16:19.460 Why were all these people executed at the end?

01:16:21.980 These people were executed because they were leaving the caliphate.

01:16:24.640 These were people who had endured more than likely the full three years of the ISIS occupation in Mosul.

01:16:31.380 And they were done.

01:16:32.500 They wanted to leave.

01:16:33.360 They wanted to get out of there.

01:16:34.640 Because as the noose was tightening around the neck of ISIS, supplies and food and water were becoming more and more scarce.

01:16:42.240 And so, ISIS was stealing all that from the civilians.

01:16:44.920 And so, living behind the ISIS wall in Mosul was absolute hell for these people.

01:16:51.520 So, they tried to break free and run away.

01:16:54.480 And so, when these people ran away as a large group, ISIS massacred.

01:16:59.760 I think that day there was more than 150 people just slaughtered in the street because they went right by the ISIS headquarters.

01:17:05.060 How did the ISIS people, I've heard that they've kind of gone back in.

01:17:11.260 They've just kind of morphed back into a lot of society.

01:17:15.280 Is that true?

01:17:16.720 We did come across a lot of guys trying to blend in with society and kind of get out of there.

01:17:22.120 And that has happened.

01:17:23.460 So, ISIS is definitely having a bit of a resurgence in Iraq right now.

01:17:27.360 So, they went underground.

01:17:29.120 And it was neighbors and just people who've all lived together, right?

01:17:33.680 So, these guys blend in.

01:17:34.920 They're from the city of Mosul.

01:17:36.400 ISIS, that's where these guys are from.

01:17:38.360 And so, they were able to blend back into society, a lot of them.

01:17:41.300 And so, now we're seeing a bit of a resurgence.

01:17:43.260 However, the guys that we were seeing toward the end of the fight in Mosul, a lot of these guys were actually white European guys.

01:17:51.100 A lot of Chechens and things like that.

01:17:53.500 And the reason for that is because they have no choice but to fight and die.

01:17:58.000 They can't assimilate back into society. 1.00

01:18:00.200 They can't run away because they look like me.

01:18:02.580 They're white guys, red beards.

01:18:04.360 And they can't get away.

01:18:06.440 So, those guys had to fight it out all the way to the end.

01:18:10.220 And they know they're going to die.

01:18:11.540 And they just didn't care.

01:18:13.400 And so, yeah.

01:18:14.720 So, you went from that to saying, I've got to keep doing this.

01:18:24.560 And that brought you to Burma, right?

01:18:29.900 Yes.

01:18:30.760 And now you're working with the Nazarene Fund in Burma.

01:18:34.380 Yes.

01:18:34.720 And last we talked, you were the only one in Burma.

01:18:38.020 And you started telling us about what was really happening.

01:18:41.100 And you have an update for us.

01:18:42.940 Yes, absolutely.

01:18:43.840 So, also to clarify, I'm not the only one working in Burma.

01:18:47.340 I'm the only one from the Nazarene Fund working in Burma.

01:18:49.660 You were telling me that you were trying to organize a bunch of people.

01:18:53.600 Yes.

01:18:53.940 And you were going to bring them all together.

01:18:55.400 Absolutely.

01:18:55.900 And I just got back from a trip about a week and a half ago.

01:18:58.800 And I met with a lot of the tribal leaders and the guys who run stuff across the border.

01:19:04.980 And they are beyond ecstatic to have the Nazarene Fund's help.

01:19:10.440 Okay.

01:19:10.600 Now, this is a group of Christians?

01:19:12.860 Yes.

01:19:13.080 About 50% Christian, about 50% Buddhist.

01:19:15.960 Okay.

01:19:16.260 All the leaders of the – it's called the Karen tribe.

01:19:19.800 And they are – all of their leaders, about 90% of their leaders are Christian.

01:19:23.240 So, every time I meet with them, we pray at the beginning and at the end.

01:19:27.640 And it's a really, really good thing.

01:19:30.780 And so, I met with these guys.

01:19:32.420 And I explained to them, like, what we can do.

01:19:34.620 And I'd already been working in there.

01:19:35.920 I'd already done several trips with the Nazarene Fund in there.

01:19:38.240 And they are beyond ecstatic to have us.

01:19:40.860 Because when I was there, literally while I was there, the Burma Army just moved in 350 more troops to attack their positions, to attack the civilians in Karen State.

01:19:53.020 So, we just saw what happened last year with the Rohingya. 1.00

01:19:55.560 And then the Burma Army moved all of those same troops up to the north to attack the Kachin, another ethnic group.

01:20:01.340 And so, now they're starting to bring troops down to attack the Karen.

01:20:04.740 And that's where we're there on the ground helping keep people alive.

01:20:07.980 So, why are they doing this?

01:20:09.780 Why are they doing this to these tribes?

01:20:11.780 It's an ethnic thing.

01:20:13.960 It's a racist thing is essentially what it is.

01:20:16.040 It goes back 1,000 years of the ethnic Burmans who control the Irrawaddy Valley, sort of in the center of Burma.

01:20:23.060 They want to control all the highlands.

01:20:25.120 They want to control the entire region.

01:20:27.200 And so, if you're a different ethnicity, they'll let you live there, but you have to be sort of a subject serve class.

01:20:34.320 You have to basically serve the Burmans. 1.00

01:20:36.380 And also, for example, like the Karen, they live in the hills. 0.98

01:20:40.680 And the Karen hills are full of natural resources.

01:20:43.380 So, there's a lot of that going on.

01:20:44.760 Plus, they don't like you because you're Christian.

01:20:47.840 That just adds a whole other level of hatred.

01:20:52.560 Because, you know, Christians don't put up with being oppressed.

01:20:56.200 They don't put up with it.

01:20:58.080 Because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, right?

01:21:00.780 And so, because of that, the Burma army attacks them even more.

01:21:05.620 Tell me what you brought me.

01:21:07.420 So, I brought with me several photos.

01:21:12.120 We have somebody.

01:21:13.900 I apologize.

01:21:16.160 That's okay.

01:21:16.520 So, I brought with me several photos of what I see all the time when I go to these places.

01:21:28.840 And these are, I brought with me photos, sorry, of one particular attack that happened.

01:21:36.900 And this is actually only from, this is from 2010, right?

01:21:40.280 So, it seems like a long time ago.

01:21:41.440 But these are the only photos that they were able to get out to me.

01:21:44.880 I was asking these guys, I was like, hey, I need photos of what's happening and what's going on.

01:21:48.400 And in these photos, you see dead civilians.

01:21:52.000 You see kids dead.

01:21:55.280 A baby.

01:21:55.940 And these are not accidental collateral damage.

01:21:58.540 These are intentional executions of these people.

01:22:01.600 These are, some of these are kids.

01:22:04.860 That's a, that's a baby.

01:22:08.140 That's a baby.

01:22:09.800 Intentionally killed.

01:22:10.540 And that baby didn't die right away.

01:22:12.300 I'd survived for about 24 hours and then died.

01:22:15.340 And this just looks like it's in the woods.

01:22:17.920 Yeah.

01:22:18.380 They're out in the jungle.

01:22:19.280 These people have nothing.

01:22:20.720 And the Burma army still wants to attack them and take more from them. 0.97

01:22:24.340 And so, every time I go there, every time the Nazarene fund shows up,

01:22:28.720 we're stopping that from happening.

01:22:32.260 And I'll tell you, I'll tell you a quick story.

01:22:34.080 Back in, back in May, I was there.

01:22:36.540 And I can't, I can't divulge exactly what we were exactly the,

01:22:40.580 for security operations, exactly what was happening.

01:22:43.940 Suffice it to say, we saved a lot of people's lives.

01:22:46.860 And a villager who had been pushed out of his home by the Burma army,

01:22:50.400 him and his family had fled the Burma army.

01:22:51.860 And they, and they had built, they built a, a new hut out in the,

01:22:56.060 out in the jungle in the middle of nowhere.

01:22:57.480 Um, he, he heard that the Nazarene fund was there and he came and found me

01:23:02.680 and he said, Hey, I want to, I want to, I want to thank you.

01:23:05.420 Please come to my house for dinner tonight.

01:23:07.400 So they get me on a motorcycle and I drive to this man's house in the middle

01:23:10.560 of nowhere.

01:23:12.040 When I get in there, his wife is cooking pig fat for me to eat because that's, 0.98

01:23:16.860 they have pig fat and rice and bam and bamboo leaves.

01:23:19.920 And so we're sitting there and he's like, Hey, I want, I was like,

01:23:23.020 I wish I had more to give you.

01:23:24.120 He's like, this is all I have for a snack.

01:23:25.660 And he pulls out a bag and it's literally tree bark.

01:23:28.500 It's bark from a tree.

01:23:30.820 And he's like, this is all we have to snack on while my wife prepares food.

01:23:34.240 And he gave me tree bark to eat.

01:23:36.940 And I'm sitting there chewing on tree bark with this guy and he has nothing.

01:23:40.020 He has literally nothing.

01:23:41.580 And he wanted to give me tree bark because that was the best that he had.

01:23:46.080 And so I'm sitting there chewing on tree bark with this man.

01:23:49.320 And I was just, I was so overcome.

01:23:52.320 I was just like, I, his gratitude, the level of gratitude he showed for us,

01:23:57.240 for the, for the Nazarene fund being there.

01:23:59.020 It was, it was unbelievable.

01:24:00.180 It was so touching.

01:24:00.900 And then later on, as I was leaving, as I was leaving the jungle,

01:24:05.400 another man barely speaks any English.

01:24:08.360 He's I'm on a motorcycle and he's driving me out of the jungle.

01:24:11.440 And he turned, he, as he's driving, he turns to me, he says, thank you.

01:24:15.240 And I said, oh, like, oh, good English.

01:24:17.920 What I'm trying to pimp him and talk more about, um, um, um, about what,

01:24:23.700 what use more English.

01:24:25.240 And so I was like, oh, like what, what do you, what are you grateful for?

01:24:28.940 You know?

01:24:29.660 And he's like, he said, this is amazing.

01:24:31.480 He said, thank you for giving my people hope.

01:24:36.320 That's what he says to me.

01:24:37.600 This kid who's maybe 19 years old.

01:24:39.920 They know nothing but slaughter and massacre and these, and these terrible

01:24:44.580 things, but we're there to bring hope and we're there to bring help.

01:24:48.620 And it's, it's an honor to be there.

01:24:51.120 It's an honor to represent the Nazarene fund.

01:24:52.860 It's an honor to do what I do.

01:24:54.180 Every time we go out, we save people's lives and it's, it's, it's an incredible

01:24:58.880 thing.

01:24:59.100 And we keep things like, like those photos that you're looking at.

01:25:01.520 You can't even show them.

01:25:03.480 We keep that.

01:25:04.260 We keep things like that from happening.

01:25:05.380 Porn on, it doesn't become real to people until they see it.

01:25:13.460 And then you don't want to show it cause it's, it's awful.

01:25:18.300 It's awful.

01:25:19.100 It's horrifying.

01:25:20.680 Um, and I don't know what to do with them.

01:25:25.240 I, I, I think, I think I'm not sure, but I think we have them on the Nazarene fund.org.

01:25:30.600 If people want to go over there and see firsthand, like what's happening, I believe they're up

01:25:35.360 there.

01:25:35.580 If they're not, I'll make sure that they get on there today.

01:25:37.840 They're over there.

01:25:38.740 Yeah.

01:25:39.180 Don't go for, um, you know, if you, if you, um, I mean, it's, it's, it's their children

01:25:47.600 and a baby and it's not pretty.

01:25:49.900 Um, but if you, uh, if it will help you wake up to what's happening, if it will help you

01:25:58.960 wake someone else up, then, um, please go.

01:26:03.680 But we would sure, we would sure appreciate your help.

01:26:07.540 Um, the Nazarene fund has turned into this global thing that is just remarkable.

01:26:13.560 Um, and, uh, countries all around the world now know its name as, uh, as, uh, as, as a

01:26:22.220 beacon of hope.

01:26:23.540 And we are thrilled that you're part of it.

01:26:27.260 Thank you so much.

01:26:28.360 Well, thank you for letting me be a part of it.

01:26:29.800 It's, uh, it's, it's an incredible honor to, to, to do what I do.

01:26:33.160 The, your, your book is, uh, well worth the read.

01:26:36.560 If you, if you want to know and be put into it, but put into it for a good reason.

01:26:42.320 I mean, here's a guy who, you know, was a Navy SEAL and says, I can do more.

01:26:48.540 Uh, it's called the city of death and it's available, uh, everywhere now.

01:26:53.920 Thank you so much.

01:26:55.120 Thank you.

01:26:55.540 God bless.

01:27:08.920 There's some things you just can't, uh, unsee.

01:27:23.280 I started this book and it's about cybersecurity and oh my gosh.

01:27:27.520 Oh dear God.

01:27:29.120 It, what is, what's happening now?

01:27:31.120 Just what's happening now is so remarkable, uh, that you don't even have to, you don't

01:27:37.500 even have to think, well, what's coming next.

01:27:39.380 What's happening now is crazy.

01:27:42.660 Um, it's called future crimes.

01:27:44.760 Everything is connected.

01:27:45.820 Everyone is vulnerable and what you can do about it by Mark Goodman.

01:28:52.600 It's hard to believe that, um, this stuff is going on today in the world that we're living

01:28:58.760 in.

01:28:59.420 Did you see what, uh, China said, uh, yesterday they came out about the, uh, the weekers and

01:29:07.620 the concentration camps that they're made. 0.76

01:29:09.140 I'm sorry.

01:29:09.500 The, the, uh, vocational schools that they're building.

01:29:12.800 It helps make life more colorful.

01:29:14.540 Yeah.

01:29:14.820 That's what they actually said.

01:29:16.340 We're just trying to help make life more colorful.

01:29:18.240 They've got a million people already behind these gates, razor wire fences.

01:29:25.160 They are concentration camps.

01:29:27.300 That's what they are.

01:29:28.760 Um, and you're scooped up off the street in, in China and you're put behind these walls and 0.56

01:29:34.080 you're re-educated, uh, and, uh, it's frightening, frightening what is happening and the world

01:29:43.060 is not standing up.

01:29:44.700 And, and more importantly, I mean, I just look up, I just looked up at CNN.

01:29:50.120 And, uh, Trump says he's not to blame if GOP loses.

01:29:54.540 I don't know.

01:29:55.840 Who cares?

01:29:57.480 I mean, CNN, can you just get over it for 10 seconds?

01:30:02.700 Is there nothing else important going on in the world?

01:30:06.760 They're not the only ones guilty of this, but there is CNN in particular.

01:30:10.440 It treats like Donald Trump, like almost the reverse of a teenager and a boy band.

01:30:18.620 It's like the obsession level is, is incredibly high.

01:30:22.900 Now they're of course looking at it as a negative instead of a positive, but like they just are

01:30:26.820 obsessed with this person.

01:30:28.320 Yeah.

01:30:28.660 I mean, it's, it's seemingly there.

01:30:30.440 It's like all their thoughts are dominated by him.

01:30:33.100 Yeah.

01:30:33.380 It's all that matters.

01:30:34.700 The whole thing about living rent free inside someone else's head, I mean, is so on display

01:30:38.880 with CNN right now.

01:30:39.800 They can't talk about anything else, even when they're talking about other things.

01:30:43.400 Saudi Arabia, Trump, Saudi Arabia, now Saudi Arabia, he's in trouble.

01:30:47.120 You know, does Trump have ties to Saudi Arabia?

01:30:49.740 He's talked about his ties to Saudi Arabia.

01:30:52.760 They cut somebody up alive, alive.

01:30:56.360 They butchered him alive, cut him up and put him in a suitcase.

01:31:01.540 And you're looking for a way, an angle to get Trump.

01:31:06.680 What is wrong with you people?

01:31:09.220 What's wrong with you?

01:31:10.380 It's like legitimately like a sickness for some of them.

01:31:13.020 It's not, it's not everybody on CNN, but I mean, it is, it's as a network, as a

01:31:17.060 whole, they can't figure out a way to discuss any other topic.

01:31:22.200 It is really incredible.

01:31:24.340 I mean, he really does dominate their lives.

01:31:27.500 Every aspect, at least, at least their public life.

01:31:30.660 I don't know.

01:31:30.960 Maybe they go home and don't talk about it.

01:31:32.380 I don't know.

01:31:32.800 But when they're on TV, they're talking about it all the time.

01:31:35.300 It's like, there's got to be something else interesting in the world.

01:31:38.180 There's got to be.

01:31:38.980 Well, just look at the headline at Fox.

01:31:40.400 They're talking about Elizabeth Warren and, you know, her Cherokee heritage.

01:31:45.520 Really?

01:31:48.480 Again, like all of these stories, like the Elizabeth Warren thing is interesting because she's

01:31:52.860 going to be running for president.

01:31:53.900 It's a day or two story.

01:31:56.040 I think it's at this point I'm done with it.

01:31:58.360 But it was interesting to see her, I mean, a real flop here.

01:32:01.060 But we're talking about one of the all-time political flops.

01:32:03.280 Yes.

01:32:03.580 She's trying to come out and get ahead of this. 0.99

01:32:05.180 It's a political story.

01:32:05.580 Again, it is an important political story for somebody who is going to run for president.

01:32:10.720 Yeah.

01:32:11.540 But really, with Saudi Arabia going on right now with that and what that possibly means,

01:32:19.000 shouldn't we take a pause and look at some of the stock market?

01:32:22.480 Anybody know why yet?

01:32:23.680 Anybody talking about that?

01:32:25.060 Why is it down?

01:32:25.700 Welcome to the program.

01:32:36.840 So glad that you are here.

01:32:38.980 We're going on tour here soon, and we would love to see you.

01:32:43.420 Grab your tickets now at glennbeck.com tour.

01:32:46.300 We're coming to a theater near you.

01:32:47.980 It's Richmond, Hershey, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, Tulsa, Tampa, Orlando, and other

01:32:55.580 cities around you.

01:32:56.500 Make sure that you grab your tickets.

01:32:59.000 You can do it at glennbeck.com slash tour.

01:33:01.700 We're going to see if you can spend as much as a Democratic Socialist.

01:33:07.580 It's a game show that I don't think you can win.

01:33:11.200 No.

01:33:11.780 You know what?

01:33:12.140 We all lose in the end in that game, which is the sad part.

01:33:15.440 But sometimes, though, Democrats can be very positive for Republicans.

01:33:18.300 Sometimes Democratic candidates are big wins for Republicans.

01:33:22.200 Really?

01:33:22.360 And we're seeing a case of this here, it appears, in Texas, where Beto O'Rourke, or Robert Francis

01:33:30.780 O'Rourke, you know, as his parents wanted him to be known, is going against Ted Cruz.

01:33:35.920 Or Bob, as he used to call himself.

01:33:37.460 Right.

01:33:37.700 When it was beneficial to be called Bob, he called himself Bob.

01:33:41.040 Now he calls himself Beto.

01:33:42.640 Right.

01:33:42.940 So Beto is running here in Texas.

01:33:45.800 And if you haven't seen this, you haven't been watching any national media as far as, and

01:33:51.820 that's just politics.

01:33:52.580 I'm talking outside of that.

01:33:53.680 Ellen and Colbert.

01:33:55.740 He's everywhere.

01:33:57.660 He's got CNN Town Hall coming up tonight.

01:33:59.340 Just him.

01:34:00.500 Again, it's bizarre.

01:34:01.880 The reason why it's helpful for Republicans is Beto O'Rourke has drained the Democratic 0.99

01:34:10.060 donor base out of $38 million.

01:34:14.140 And he's going to lose.

01:34:15.120 And that could have gone to close races.

01:34:16.760 I mean, you know, it all seems like Cruz is winning here and winning by a significant

01:34:22.520 margin.

01:34:23.100 Though we don't wait.

01:34:23.740 Obviously, we still have a few weeks to go.

01:34:25.040 We know this could change.

01:34:26.620 But...

01:34:27.180 Well, they could produce the pictures of his father actually pulling the trigger on JFK.

01:34:32.400 And that may need to be...

01:34:33.480 Yeah.

01:34:33.540 You actually may need that.

01:34:34.740 Yeah.

01:34:34.940 Well, they might have it.

01:34:36.280 You never know.

01:34:36.880 They might.

01:34:37.920 They're talking now about a 50 to 43 margin is the...

01:34:42.480 So seven point...

01:34:43.260 Or excuse me, 52.45 is the margin now with Cruz, leading by seven points.

01:34:49.200 This is from, by the way, the same company that is hosting the town hall with Beto tonight,

01:34:54.740 CNN, as their poll.

01:34:56.260 Well, 52.45.

01:34:57.840 I think he wins by 12 and maybe as high as 18.

01:35:03.120 I mean, that would be a real surprise.

01:35:05.340 No, it would be.

01:35:06.060 But, you know, that's what...

01:35:06.940 18.

01:35:07.280 It's what really what happened last time Ted Cruz ran.

01:35:10.680 I mean, the polls are hard in Texas.

01:35:13.040 I don't necessarily believe the polls here in Texas.

01:35:18.120 You know, it'd be great if he won by three.

01:35:20.660 But I just think that there is is something that, you know, when you get when you get right

01:35:28.100 down to it, Texans are going to say, yeah, Ted Cruz, please.

01:35:31.920 I tend to think he's going to win as well.

01:35:33.820 I don't know about 18.

01:35:35.140 You know, maybe.

01:35:36.060 I think I think 10 is possible, though.

01:35:38.120 I mean, nine or 10 is definitely possible.

01:35:40.900 Interesting in this poll.

01:35:41.900 First of all, what you see is Greg Abbott, who's running for governor here in Texas, is

01:35:46.620 winning by a much larger margin.

01:35:49.140 Usually it's around.

01:35:49.800 I don't have the one right in front of me, but it's over 20 points.

01:35:52.620 Yeah, I don't even think I've seen a sign for him.

01:35:55.180 Here it is.

01:35:55.460 Yeah, I know.

01:35:55.940 No one cares.

01:35:56.740 He's winning by so much.

01:35:57.940 He's up 18 points here.

01:35:59.440 So Cruz is up by seven in the same poll where Abbott is up by 18.

01:36:02.220 And what's interesting about comparing the results in the same poll is it's the same

01:36:06.420 people.

01:36:07.000 The same people were asked the questions.

01:36:08.860 And so you kind of get a sense of where people are splitting up.

01:36:11.800 For example, much more people are voting for Greg Abbott than are voting for Ted Cruz out

01:36:17.800 of the exact same base.

01:36:18.820 The other thing that's interesting about it is the you think of it's bright red country

01:36:25.080 right in Texas.

01:36:26.400 However, the poll shows that 50 percent of adults disapprove of Donald Trump's job performance

01:36:32.180 and only 41 percent approve.

01:36:33.720 That gets closer among likely voters where it's 49, 48.

01:36:38.120 But still, it's surprising.

01:36:39.500 I would think that that would be more in the positive in a state like Texas.

01:36:43.100 Look at it this way.

01:36:43.960 Try this on for size.

01:36:44.980 Uh, uh, Donald Trump is everywhere and he is either blamed or excused for everything.

01:36:55.240 Right.

01:36:55.960 And it's dominating your life, just like Barack Obama was dominating everybody's life.

01:37:02.340 Um, and Donald Trump has a really good side and a really bad side.

01:37:08.960 And it depends on what day you're like, you know, if you support Donald Trump, some days

01:37:14.460 you're like, yeah.

01:37:15.360 Other days you're like, oh, look, can we not talk about today?

01:37:18.340 And I don't want to talk about the tweet, you know?

01:37:20.620 So he's such a big figure in everybody's life.

01:37:24.540 Ted Cruz was a very big picture or a big, big force in everybody's life two years ago.

01:37:31.380 But he's just kind of fallen off the map and he's just doing a good job.

01:37:35.300 Okay.

01:37:36.480 Um, Greg Abbott is just doing a good job and nobody's talking about him.

01:37:42.220 Nobody's talking about him because the state's running great.

01:37:44.400 Everything's going really well.

01:37:46.080 He's a great governor.

01:37:47.980 He's not controversial.

01:37:49.360 So I think the poll numbers are just how much has this person impacted my life in a kind

01:37:57.400 of, in a bad way of, oh, I got to deal with this again today.

01:38:01.380 I got to talk about this again.

01:38:02.840 Yeah.

01:38:03.040 You get, you get closer.

01:38:04.260 You get to fatigue, right?

01:38:05.400 I mean, and it's not a bad thing about any of them.

01:38:08.240 It's just like, oh, I'm so tired of this.

01:38:10.940 I'm tired.

01:38:11.560 You know, it's like you closer, you get to Washington.

01:38:13.680 Greg Abbott is here.

01:38:15.240 Ted Cruz is in Washington.

01:38:16.480 But, you know, really the epicenter now and with the last president is the White House.

01:38:22.480 And so the closer you get, the more you're like, oh, enough.

01:38:25.840 Yeah.

01:38:26.200 It's an interesting thing.

01:38:27.700 I mean, it's nice to see, I think, you know, especially if Cruz holds onto this race, which

01:38:32.120 it seems like he will at the moment, it's going to help a lot of other candidates in

01:38:36.320 really close races.

01:38:37.060 There are six toss-up races right now.

01:38:39.120 Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, and Nevada.

01:38:42.560 All of them are very tight.

01:38:44.700 You know, the fact that this $38 million is not flowing into a race in that group is

01:38:52.840 a real positive for Republicans.

01:38:54.620 Democrats are very excited about Beto, but I mean, his chances of winning are very low.

01:38:59.540 And they've just thrown money at a candidate who has essentially, I mean, a very small chance

01:39:06.380 of winning.

01:39:06.620 I wouldn't say it's no chance, but a very small chance of winning.

01:39:09.220 And, you know, that's only benefiting Republican chances of keeping the Senate.

01:39:14.420 But they are, here's what's happening.

01:39:17.060 They've made him into a national figure.

01:39:20.040 You know, they're already, by putting him on Ellen, why is he on Ellen?

01:39:23.680 I don't know.

01:39:24.380 What has he done?

01:39:25.320 What has he done?

01:39:26.180 He's responsible for absolutely nothing.

01:39:28.680 He's not some like up-and-coming outsider, right?

01:39:31.840 Like he's a guy who's been in Congress for a long time.

01:39:35.020 He has been in politics for a very long time.

01:39:38.040 His whole life has basically been politics outside of his early band years.

01:39:41.080 I swear it's just because they think he's good looking.

01:39:43.260 They think he's good looking and he can give a good speech.

01:39:45.300 Yeah, I think he's, I think it's, it's the Barack Obama syndrome of 2004.

01:39:50.040 What has this guy done?

01:39:50.920 Well, he gave a good speech in 2004.

01:39:53.040 Well, he should be president.

01:39:54.420 What has this guy done?

01:39:55.680 Well, he's been on Ellen.

01:39:56.900 I mean, it's, it's, it's not just that he's good looking.

01:40:01.620 I think that there is a part of the Democratic Party that does not want to go the Democratic

01:40:08.640 socialism, anti-capitalist sort of way.

01:40:11.860 And Beto doesn't look like that guy.

01:40:14.720 He doesn't look like, his policies are the same as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

01:40:18.060 Correct.

01:40:18.580 I mean, they went through them in the debate clips last night.

01:40:21.360 Should we play some of these?

01:40:22.260 Yes.

01:40:22.480 Yeah, go ahead.

01:40:22.820 First of all, let's start with Beto's opening.

01:40:25.280 And you may know Beto is a, he's a Hispanic.

01:40:28.860 No, he's a deep Hispanic.

01:40:30.080 His name is Robert Francis.

01:40:31.200 Actually moved here from Central America.

01:40:34.280 No.

01:40:34.680 Very recently.

01:40:35.680 He's Irish.

01:40:36.300 And he, and he came out and made sure you knew how Hispanic he was.

01:40:40.340 He's less Hispanic than Elizabeth Warren is Cherokee.

01:40:44.280 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:40:45.800 Here's, here's Beto's open.

01:40:47.900 First, Jason, let me thank you and Sarah for moderating tonight's debate.

01:40:51.440 Ken's five for hosting us, the people of San Antonio for being here and the people of

01:40:56.720 Texas for watching this and participating in one of the most important decisions of

01:41:00.640 our lifetimes.

01:41:01.380 Es un honor estar aquí con ustedes otra vez aquí en San Antonio.

01:41:05.900 Yes.

01:41:06.560 See, powerful.

01:41:07.460 See how Hispanic he is.

01:41:08.740 He can't even stop himself from speaking Spanish.

01:41:12.020 He was trying to speak in English that entire time and just slipped into it because it's so

01:41:16.700 natural for him coming from his deep Hispanic roots.

01:41:20.480 And that's something I want you to make sure you understand.

01:41:22.560 Unlike this old white guy, Ted Cruz.

01:41:26.540 No, he's not white.

01:41:27.720 Who is basic.

01:41:28.820 I mean, it's so ridiculous.

01:41:30.240 Ted Cruz, this old white guy who's I think two, a year and a half to two years older than

01:41:35.740 Beto O'Rourke or Robert Francis O'Rourke.

01:41:39.140 And he's not white.

01:41:40.800 We'll call him.

01:41:42.500 And anyway, so this is it was interesting to watch this because, you know, it's like

01:41:46.540 as you kind of pointed out, Cruz runs for president.

01:41:48.780 He doesn't win.

01:41:49.940 And he's been you know, you don't hear from him as often as you did.

01:41:53.760 And but he's been doing a great job.

01:41:55.460 His voting record is very solid.

01:41:56.920 I think, you know, anybody, whether you like Trump or you don't like Trump, you're going

01:41:59.620 to like the stuff he votes for.

01:42:01.080 The stuff he's doing behind the scenes with the judiciary, and I don't mean just the Supreme

01:42:06.300 Court.

01:42:06.800 I mean, the the the federal courts is remarkable and will change the course of court decisions

01:42:16.400 for a very long time.

01:42:18.080 Yeah, he's been very involved, very involved in.

01:42:20.260 However, Beto, I don't I don't know.

01:42:22.320 I mean, I get the idea that maybe he's younger and good looking and can speak coherently.

01:42:27.700 I think that's the only thing you can is attractive to a lot of neck muscles.

01:42:30.620 Yeah, a lot of neck muscles are very shiny as well.

01:42:33.320 Very shiny.

01:42:34.120 But he talked about about Cruz and his motivations.

01:42:39.860 Remember, this is a guy who's brought in the only story about Beto O'Rourke of any note

01:42:45.000 is he's raised a lot of money.

01:42:46.500 That is his entire the entire reason anyone would ever discuss him because he has raised

01:42:51.600 a fortune.

01:42:52.400 But of course, he goes after Cruz over money.

01:42:55.140 Listen, speaking of balance and budgets, only one of us has with good friends and

01:43:00.580 El Paso started a small business, met that payroll every week, balanced the books, made

01:43:06.120 sure that we delivered for our clients.

01:43:07.500 Only one of us has served at the local government level every single year, balancing the budget,

01:43:11.860 seeing each other not as Republicans and Democrats, but as council members entrusted with a fiduciary

01:43:17.260 responsibility to deliver for the taxpayers of El Paso every single year we did.

01:43:21.960 And for Senator Cruz to say that this isn't going to bust the budget at a time of twenty

01:43:26.020 one trillion dollars in debt, when we're on track to deficit spend to the tune of a trillion

01:43:30.900 dollars a year, he voted to add two trillion dollars.

01:43:35.140 And those tax cuts disproportionately will flow to corporations who are already sitting on record

01:43:39.740 piles of cash and the already wealthy in a country that is riven with income inequality

01:43:44.620 unseen since the last Gilded Age.

01:43:46.860 Why? In the days just before and just after that vote, Senator Cruz accepted one hundred

01:43:52.500 and twenty thousand dollars from the political action committees who represent the corporate

01:43:57.500 interests that benefited from this tax cut.

01:44:00.280 It's why does he vote for this?

01:44:01.480 Why does he vote for Internet companies to sell your private browsing data to the highest

01:44:04.860 bidder without your consent?

01:44:06.720 Why does he not vote for universal background checks in a country that loses 30,000 people

01:44:11.140 to gun violence every year?

01:44:13.160 Follow the money.

01:44:13.820 In each of these cases, if you look at the political action committee contributions to

01:44:18.420 Senator Cruz, it helps to explain the reasons for his vote and how corrupted Congress has

01:44:23.680 become.

01:44:24.120 Now, again, unbelievable.

01:44:26.480 One hundred and twenty thousand dollars.

01:44:28.080 Really, is Ted Cruz changing an opinion over one hundred and twenty thousand dollars?

01:44:32.220 It's ridiculous.

01:44:33.000 If Cruz dropped out of the Senate right now, he'd get a lobbying job at some firm and make

01:44:37.080 millions without even thinking about it.

01:44:38.960 He was I mean, you know, he's highly educated.

01:44:41.060 His wife worked at Goldman Sachs, if we remember.

01:44:43.820 This is not a this is not a money issue for Cruz.

01:44:47.600 Beyond that, of course, Beto O'Rourke has accepted has had many ads run on his behalf.

01:44:54.360 He's from from packs and super packs.

01:44:57.360 And he's got that little, you know, that little line of, well, you know, I'm not telling them

01:45:02.260 to do it.

01:45:02.820 So therefore, I'm not responsible for it.

01:45:04.920 But again, he's raised thirty eight million dollars.

01:45:08.020 He's complaining about a one hundred and twenty thousand dollar donation to Cruz that makes

01:45:12.180 him change his opinion.

01:45:13.140 What is thirty eight million dollars do?

01:45:15.260 What does that make you change?

01:45:16.220 I'll tell you what it does.

01:45:17.000 I think thirty eight million dollars for some makes you into a national candidate for another

01:45:24.660 race, not this one for others who have given part of that thirty eight million dollars in

01:45:31.540 large chunks that just pisses them off because I want results.

01:45:39.880 I don't want results.

01:45:41.100 I gave you told me that this guy had a chance.

01:45:45.280 This guy was going to do it.

01:45:46.660 I saw him everywhere and you still got beaten and beaten by how much wasn't even close.

01:45:55.480 Where's my money?

01:45:57.220 Where's my money?

01:45:59.020 And I think that's how people would react to that.

01:46:01.920 But I know people on the Democratic side who have given money who are absolutely that

01:46:08.000 they have given and given and given.

01:46:10.680 And they're like, you know, I have to tell you, you're you're off the deep end with

01:46:16.280 crazy radicals and you're putting up people.

01:46:20.040 Who do you have?

01:46:20.900 Who do you have?

01:46:21.460 This guy?

01:46:22.660 This guy?

01:46:23.920 He didn't win.

01:46:26.040 I think that there are some that have given a lot of money that are going to be a little

01:46:29.980 pissed when when Robert Francis O'Rourke has to go back on the, you know, the night shift

01:46:36.820 of walking the walk in the beat like all the other cops in his family.

01:47:14.300 giant cans of of vegetables.

01:47:17.580 They go through an entire 18 wheeler tractor trailer full every three days.

01:47:40.980 anything else.
