Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are joined by comedian Steve Carell to discuss the return of The Office to Netflix and why it might not be as good as it used to be. They also discuss the new International Pronouns Day, a new holiday created by Ithaca College and the mayor of New York City, which celebrates the LGBTQI community.
00:10:44.080God only knows what they do in the embassy, but they're seen leaving about an hour later with really heavy suitcases.
00:10:51.040They throw them into the back of the van.
00:10:53.560They throw them on the jet and the jet takes off.
00:10:56.280Meantime, United States says we do have we do have encrypted messages showing that the Saudi prince was trying to entrap him or tried to trap him and get him into the embassy or get him back to Saudi Arabia.
00:11:13.940And today, and I don't know if I believe this because it's Turkey, but Turkey says that they have either given to the United States or shown the United States this video and audio.
00:11:27.540They say they have surveillance in the embassy of him being questioned and then tortured and then murdered.
00:11:34.980We don't know if that is true, but that's the latest today.
00:11:38.520So, Khashoggi, we're going to find out who this guy is and was possibly when we come back, because this is the part of the story that no one.
00:11:50.940Surely CNN and Christian Anampur would want you to have this information.
00:17:58.400And the only reason he's tackling social issues is because they have a lot of young people in Saudi Arabia and social unrest is about to hit the street.
00:18:05.400If you want to see the place where the next Arab Spring might happen, Saudi Arabia, the demographics point to it.
00:18:32.880It just it just feels like maybe all of a sudden he pops up and I was like, no, I was at Chick-fil-A and nobody in the media wants to look at Chick-fil-A.
00:27:49.820You haven't told your own kids, but you told the national radio over and over and over again.
00:27:52.920And I realized that there are some things that we just think our kids here and because they're around us, they just know they're going to pick up.
00:28:03.920I mean, he's in American history right now and, you know, he probably knows more than some kids or most kids on a lot of things.
00:28:14.360But other things are big gaping holes.
00:28:16.540And I realized how much of my time with my son do I think he gets it through osmosis somehow or another, you know, just because he's living here and blah, blah, blah.
00:28:27.860And he hears me give speeches and he hears me on the radio and he hears it, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:38.040I don't know if I'm just going through this.
00:28:40.520But my gosh, you have to be very, very specific and watch what you're saying to your kids and and be with them all the time.
00:28:49.640And what's frightening is the influence is so strong and so sexy on the outside that it's the draw that they're just you're just black and white.
00:29:19.440I know I'm like the family in there and just we're just in here.
00:29:22.760The black and white color thing is interesting, though, because we had a guest on this program before and she's on Wonderful World of Stew as well.
00:29:29.400She wrote a book recently called How to Break Up with Your Phone.
00:29:32.020And in the book, just yesterday, I saw something on Twitter with her where she was talking about one thing that she suggested to how to break up with your phone, which was turn your phone to grayscale.
00:29:45.440So you can do this on an iPhone or an Android or whatever.
00:29:48.380And basically what it does is it goes to black and white.
00:29:50.860It looks like your old school black and white TV, right?
00:29:53.500You're all the brilliant, vivid colors of your phone go away.
00:29:57.080And it's weird because you think, well, you know, what difference would that make?
00:31:43.100Um, and you can turn things off or limit times through your device.
00:31:46.960So you can go on your, on your side of the app and say, I only want this on for an hour and it'll just turn off after an hour on their devices.
00:31:53.700Also, I know, um, depending on what wifi router system you have, like we have Eero, which is like one of those, it's like a mesh network and it, you know, covers the house.
00:32:01.880But you, you may, you probably, you have no idea.
00:32:04.720And it's a big room of a rack of stuff.
00:32:07.860But through those, a lot of times through the new wifi routers, you can go right through there.
00:32:12.440So it's the internet coming into the house.
00:32:14.740You're getting it, you know, way before that, you can limit all the content at that level, which is, is pretty good as well.
00:32:20.900We're to the point in my house where my, my son is a seven and we're to the point now where like, I need to start putting these parental things on all of the, you know, cause before I like, he doesn't care.
00:32:31.320He's going to see, you know, Paw Patrol.
00:32:32.960He's not looking for, and I don't think now he's looking for anything, but he could easily stumble on something.
00:32:58.280I mean, it's just, they're just exposed to so much stuff and, you know, we need the internet for homework and things like that.
00:33:06.960But, you know, you leave the room and here comes YouTube and I mean, I just need to, so if anybody knows of a device that is a universal device, and my problem is I've got professional equipment in the house to, to try to secure us as much as we can.
00:33:24.520Um, but, and I, anything I find is just not compatible with that system.
00:33:29.800I just need, I just want to find a way to be able to shut it all off.
00:33:35.760You get only so much time on this and that, and just shut it all off.
00:33:40.560You don't have access to this after this time, uh, no access to this app ever.
00:34:51.400Use the promo code Glenn, and you're going to get, um, you're going to get, I think it's $50 off towards the purchase of your select mattress.
00:34:59.260So it is Casper.com slash Glenn promo code Glenn.
00:38:45.180When you look at, it's only 70% of 8%, what a small minority within America has successfully done and dominated the narrative in this country.
00:39:05.040Yet somehow, they have hypnotized the entire country into believing that everything we say or do has to be looked at through the lens of political correctness.
00:43:39.400And one of those missions was Senator Flake in the elevator with the CNN camera right behind the woman screaming at him because she was a victim of something.
00:43:49.060And he was an idiot for not siding with her.
00:44:16.500So, the 8% progressive zealot fanatics could never have imposed anything on this country without the media taking up their cause and actually doing the dirty work.
00:44:58.840So, he goes on Saturday Night Live, which is staked out territory to destroy Donald Trump because it's good for Saturday Night Live's ratings.
00:45:22.800Then, because of that, Trump invites him to the Oval Office where Kanye walks in with the hat and does Lombardo with the president or whatever they did.
00:47:21.200ZipRecruiter is smart technology, and it's really brilliant what they've done.
00:47:27.080They have a really brilliant CEO, and he's a high-tech guy.
00:47:32.340And it's, you know, when ZipRecruiter first came out, it was a way for you to not have to have an HR department.
00:47:39.200You could post a job on all of the different websites.
00:47:44.300Well, since that point, ZipRecruiter has become the number one website.
00:47:48.380So now they not only post everything there, but they have all of this internal data, and they really listen to you.
00:47:55.260This smart technology really tries to find out exactly what you're looking for.
00:48:01.340So if you have, you know, a big job open up, you know, PR director or whatever it is, you don't mind finding, you know, seeing the right person if they're in California and you're in New York.
00:48:11.300But if you're, you know, a Starbucks and you're looking for a barista, you don't care that, you know, you're in New York and somebody's in Santa Monica.
00:48:18.040You need the person right across the street.
00:48:19.980So they don't just dump everybody onto your plate.
00:48:27.560The smart technology goes through and really looks for it.
00:48:30.660Also, they look for the people that are not necessarily out there seeing, you know, your ad or reading your post.
00:49:09.760Bill O'Reilly, let's talk a little bit about what the Democrats should be learning and what they're not learning.
00:49:16.920And Kavanaugh, since that nightmare, looks like the poll numbers are switching dramatically, at least in the Senate.
00:49:26.360Yeah, Senate polls have been really good for Republicans since the Kavanaugh thing, which I don't know if that's a huge surprise to anybody.
00:49:31.520But, I mean, you know, Beto is now down by, it looks like, eight to Ted Cruz, which is, you know, about double the lead he had before then.
00:49:39.180And then, as Bill mentioned, Taylor Swift comes out and talks about how bad Marsha Blackburn is.
00:49:43.560Latest poll has her up by 14 in which was thought to be a toss-up race.
00:51:39.020You know, when you have, and I bring this up a lot, no one working for you and no one working for me could have tweeted out, well, Kavanaugh was confirmed, but at least we destroyed his life.
00:52:36.220So people know this, even if you like Colbert, which I don't, even if you are sympathetic to Dr. Ford and all of that Me Too stuff, even if you're buying into it, you've got to know, all right, that the rhetoric and the plan to destroy human beings is not what America is all about.
00:53:02.020And, you know, when you think in history, Stalin and Hitler and what they did by destroying their opposition, you know, later on it was physically, but in the beginning they couldn't murder people.
00:53:46.300If if they do have they lose the Senate where just a few weeks ago, the the person who was in the best position to win for the Republicans was Ted Cruz.
00:53:58.720And he was only one or two points ahead of of Beto.
00:54:13.540If especially with, you know, Donald Trump is president, the most hated man of all time.
00:54:19.080If if they do lose, do you think they will say, OK, wait a minute, this Democratic socialism, this anger and all that never going to do that?
00:54:30.380They're going to go. They're going to go harder, don't you think?
00:54:32.640Of course. I mean, these people are really, really deranged.
00:54:37.400And there are some on that on the right like that as well.
00:54:41.040Yes. Not nearly the numbers on the left.
00:54:45.020And of course, the media promotes that.
00:54:47.200But if they win, the Democrats win the House, then you're going to that's what you're going to hear.
00:54:52.940You're not going to hear anything about the Senate.
00:54:54.340Yes. And the House, you know, that's a little shaky because, as everybody knows, the first term in Clinton, the first term in Obama, they lost.
00:56:23.200I'm going to have to talk about that when we come back from the break, because they're not going down in the wake of a Kavanaugh or the wake of a hurricane story.
00:56:32.380But there is erosion, and I'll tell you why it's happening.
00:56:47.840You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:49.620Glenn Beck.com slash tour is the place you should go if you feel, like I do, that the only thing we can do right now with all the nonsense from the Democratic Party is to laugh at them.
01:07:04.620I had gone to church five days a week during the week and every Sunday.
01:07:10.980September 8th of 2017 was the last day I went to church.
01:07:16.520Early in the day, I had spent a long time going back and forth with Fox, with lawyers, trying to figure out where I was going to go forward, what was going to happen.
01:07:27.840And we came upon an idea that we were going to separate.
01:11:25.200And parents need to know that their children are at risk.
01:11:29.860And it's a massive epidemic in the country.
01:11:34.640Young kids need to know that one pill can kill you.
01:11:37.060They're not sure what you're ever taking.
01:11:39.300And parents need to know that your child isn't too smart, too popular, too athletic to be exposed to potentially dying from an overdose.
01:11:48.680It's a very emotional and, I think, important interview.
01:11:56.380There are places that I want to go, and Eric has promised to come back, but I didn't want to dogpile.
01:12:03.720Well, we recorded this on September, I think, 10th, and it was just a few days after the one-year anniversary, and he was very, very, very raw.
01:12:14.020It's the first time that he has really spoken out about it and what his thoughts are.
01:12:20.000And I think everybody, no matter what side you're on on the opioid thing, I mean, I got an emotional call yesterday from somebody on the TV show that said,
01:12:29.500Thank you for speaking up for opioids, because there are those of us who, we cannot live without them.
01:12:36.180We can't, this woman said, because of her disease, she can't even sit up in bed, and she's bedridden without the opioid.
01:12:43.740There are, you know, all of these things, they're double-edged swords, they're good when they're used properly, and they are deadly when they are abused.
01:12:57.680And it's up to each of us to know what we're dealing with, and they are deadly.
01:13:05.340That podcast also goes into his relationship with the president and what he has seen of the president,
01:13:11.500and it's a very fascinating interview with Eric Bolling.
01:13:16.080You can find that podcast wherever you download your podcast, iTunes, now on Spotify, but everywhere.
01:13:22.660The Glenn Beck Podcast, they come out every Saturday, a different interview with somebody who is truly fascinating.
01:18:30.100He's still going to be doing a CRTV thing.
01:18:31.920But he's doing two hours for us every day.
01:18:35.300If anybody, if they don't know who you are, explain who you are.
01:18:38.520So I think, you know, we have a slightly different way of doing things than what you would probably typically hear in conservative talk radio.
01:18:48.520One is we're mindful of the things we're actually trying to conserve because kind of nowadays conservative means I'm not a communist.
01:19:10.300So, you know, we actually talk about the things we're trying to conserve, the values and virtues that made America exceptional and where they came from in the first place.
01:19:19.620We like to start arguments even more than we like to win them because we think that one of the big problems in our country, there's this idea that we're really divided and we're arguing all the time.
01:19:30.800I mean, what we're doing is we're grabbing 17 burner accounts on social media, calling each other anonymous names, returning to the the fart factory of the smell that we prefer of our own tribe and to never retreat from our own native sweat lodge, convinced we're right about absolutely everything while we're lobbing verbal bombs at our neighbor over there we never talked to.
01:19:52.560OK, I actually think we need some real arguments.
01:19:54.980We actually need to have both sides come out.
01:19:56.940You know, I kind of I think the truth is its own reward and the truth is our friend and I am perfectly fine having a truthful conversation with people on the other side.
01:20:05.860So can you have because I've I've started having them myself.
01:20:10.360I had Dr. Deborah so in studio this weekend or this last week we had Dave Rubin who else do here recently Michael Reckenwald that Michael Reckenwald is a guy who used to write for the communist newsletter.
01:20:25.240And we don't agree on everything, but I'm looking for the people who you can't have a conversation with somebody who is whose goal it is to say rights apply to certain people and not to others.
01:20:41.640Is there isn't there a there is a line of who you can have a conversation is and you know, we try to equip our audience to see some of those lines and I think we need to understand two distinctions in our culture today.
01:20:52.740Gentlemen, we need to understand the distinction between an opponent and an enemy and a liberal and a leftist an opponent is someone who disagrees with you maybe even vehemently and we'll do whatever they can within the boundaries of the you know, what's acceptable in terms of cultural warfare to defeat your ideas and the arena of ideas.
01:21:10.080An enemy is somebody who wants to end you an enemy is somebody has no interest in sharing a neighborhood with you sharing a school with you a literally game with you an office building with you and then you look at what's the difference between a liberal and a leftist.
01:21:23.580You know a liberal is somebody that wants government to permit you to do things God says are immoral and dumb a leftist is somebody that wants government to compel you to do those things and if you will not do those things that God says are immoral and dumb that you as Eric Erickson likes to say you will be
01:21:39.840made to care the full coercive power of government will be brought down upon me because you it's you know resistance is futile and you're watching this existential transition happening on the left in our culture and we're there aren't really too many liberals anymore the reason why you're struggling to find people to have these conversations with in the media arena where we work is there's not too many of them left.
01:22:03.080I think there are though outside outside of the media arena I agree that there are you know I think people people think that I want to have conversations with you know I want to you're you're going to bring in so and so and you're going to have a conversation with them you can't talk to them no Nancy Pelosi I can't talk to you she has no interest in talking she has no interest she wants to end you she doesn't want to share a country with you she just it's the best thing is that you could possibly say the most charitable thing on both sides is they just want to win.
01:22:31.380So they'll do anything to win and some of them will go so far as when they leave the room go that guy he's got to be stopped and that's dangerous but that's not who I'm talking about not I talk about my mom a lot because she had me at 15 she had pregnant with me at 14 she found out she was pregnant with me Christmas break 1972 and Roe v. Wade happens a month later and she decides not to have an abortion.
01:22:56.500And so my mom and I literally grew up together and you know I become this Alex P. Keaton wannabe kid of the 80s and she's your typical single mom government should do for people what they can't do for themselves you know and and and and has a different view of politics than me and for many years we couldn't talk about politics.
01:23:13.040And so as I started growing more in conservative media we just agreed we wouldn't bring it up when we got together as a family because it got in the way of everything.
01:23:20.380But funny things happened the last few years though guys she is bringing it up now to me and she's semi-retired now because of medical disability and so she watched a lot of what's on your screens I don't watch any cable news at all frankly I can't I can't ingest it.
01:23:32.800Do you yeah do you watch it never except when I'm on the air just yeah yeah for updates yeah I mean yeah unless it's that's hang on just a second I want the audience to know that's unheard of in our business that you could not have done this job agreed without watching cable news yeah three years ago right I mean I keep up on clips that go viral in social media long form it's just toxic ingestion into the veins yeah my mom watches a lot more of this she actually likes your show quite a bit actually and
01:24:02.400she's a brilliant woman but one of the things she came to me one day before the 2012 election and she brought it up she started bringing politics up to me you know unprovoked and she said you know I was so happy when Barack Obama won in 08 that we had shattered the racial ceiling and out of the blue she said to me she goes I wonder sometimes when I watch the things he says and he does if he's actually a communist I mean this just blew me away wow okay yeah and I watched the way you know my mom is one of those people that is fine likes Obamacare
01:24:31.720thinks that Medicare for all is okay we need to be able to provide things like health care for people she's not fine with if you don't change your religion for the government we shut you down and put you in jail she's not fine with we get 500 million dollars a year of your money to Planned Parenthood she's not fine with that stuff so so I've I've recently come to this feeling that we have caused problems of communication because we have seen Obamacare and we know what the we know
01:25:01.580those who designed it we know they want single-payer health care okay we know that they are socialists that are drawing this up but the people who like your mom and the regular people on the on the liberal side on the democratic side they're not for communism they're not for the end of capitalism they just believe in more welfare okay they just believe in a bigger hand to help and so when we say this is socialism they hear that as
01:25:31.080you're a communist you're a communist and they're like we're not communists right and so we have we have put a giant blanket over the entire voting public of Democrats and made them feel like we're calling them communists they don't feel like they're communists and they're not communists but it is provide that cover has provided cover if you will for the actual Marxist communists that are that are trying to say end of capitalism
01:26:01.080when you look at you know for the last 25 years I've been involved in full-time political advocacy either as a host or an activist or I've worked on numerous campaigns I've run the gamut I've done everything in our movement other than run for office basically myself and when you look at the for the last for all the course of our careers the GOP consultancy industry has has designed a strategy to chase a voter that does not exist and this is filtered down into the talking points we in conservative media get from these people.
01:26:31.080and that is that the average GOP consultant believes America wants wants limited government like the Koch brothers and Sodom and Gomorrah at the same time it's actually totally in reverse the majority of and you know it's fascinating is Pew did a huge study on this breaking it down in the 2016 electorate the libertarian the myth of the libertarian voter that's how they define them that that voter largely does not exist it's a unicorn okay the reality is and I've seen this on every GOP campaign and for every candidate from
01:27:01.060state house to president I've ever worked on the amount of pushback we get on our social beliefs compared to you're the party of big business who wants to lay me off and doesn't care about me guys it's 10 to 1 at minimum it's not even close and and the reality is most voters are in favor of bigger government with better moral values and this is the secret sauce that Trump tapped into in the last election the irony is that the ultimate hedonist absolutely embraces all of these cultural flashpoints.
01:27:29.060embraces all of these cultural flashpoints he didn't say he didn't give you the token I'm pro-life he stood up in front of a hundred million people at the presidential debate and said I'm going to appoint justices that will overturn Roe okay.
01:27:40.040I mean he has he has embraced the whether it's the NFL issue which has kind of become a phony issue now but all of the cultural flashpoints you know I've always believed that Mitt Romney would have just eaten a chicken sandwich about mid-August of 2016 or 2012 when he had Chick-fil-A day he'd have been president of the United States but he wouldn't even eat a chicken sandwich.
01:27:58.040every every moment Mitt Romney had a chance in that campaign to punt on a cultural flashpoint he did every moment John McCain had to punt on a cultural flashpoint even lecturing guys like you about not using Barack Obama's real middle name remember those days he punted on every one of those Trump said cultural flashpoints I'm aware I'm gonna put it on my face I'm gonna marinate in it I'm gonna bathe in it whether I believe any of this stuff or not I'm a businessman and I know when a market wants a product and I'm gonna give it to them and you see the way that our base responded to that.
01:28:26.900Okay so let's let's talk about the the result of that the good things and the bad things and what the Democrats are now saying and go back to the violence that I told you at the beginning of the half hour when we come back again Steve Dace begins on the blaze radio network and and also he remains on CRTV and we are grateful for their I don't know their friendship their friendship here but Steve starts on Monday and right after this program
01:28:56.900and Pat begins the morning blaze Pat slightly unleashed mad dog because he's now tired and cranky on Monday as well
01:29:07.420all right our sponsor this half hour is simply safe Pat how much were you paying before you got simply safe almost 60 bucks a month 60 bucks a month how many it had gone from 31 to 60 like in one move
01:29:22.760and how many uh how many months had you paid 60 yeah uh one okay and then I switched how many were you paying 30
01:29:30.560uh long time years several years have you ever done the math on that to see how no but thank you for bringing
01:29:37.700that up because now I'm probably going to be obsessed with doing that right when you when you bought simply safe
01:29:43.200you paid for it right and you probably paid for it in less than 10 months I'm guessing for sure yeah
01:29:50.340uh and then you don't pay anything else except if you want the monitoring do you get the monitoring
01:29:55.020yes $14.99 a month okay simply safe it is just the best built safe uh the best built uh system to keep

01:30:45.240uh steve dace pat gray uh stew uh steve berguera our executive producer and of course
01:30:51.020my charming self um we're talking about uh the democrats and what they have done this week just
01:30:57.960with hillary clinton coming out and saying you can't have a civil conversation with these people
01:31:04.020i don't know who these people are that these people used to be a sign of racism uh but you can't
01:31:10.440talk about these people uh and then eric holder in the week that we have a video of somebody
01:31:16.100actually kicking a protester um we have eric holder saying uh kick them when they're down
01:31:23.480is this the is this the uh is this the beginning of the end for the democrats or is this the end of the
01:31:31.860beginning ah um i i hope it's the beginning of the end because um i i think most americans with a
01:31:42.000with any sensibility left in them uh are being turned off by the democrats right now i i think
01:31:49.580they've you know we've talked about this many times i think maybe now they have overplayed their
01:31:54.600hand we thought maybe that would have happened a year or two or three or four ago but um i think
01:32:00.120after the kavanaugh hearings and all that's going on now with this civility thing that they're
01:32:04.740completely uh uh issuing i think i think people have had enough of them so is it important for us
01:32:13.000to change uh say i think people have had enough of the democrats because of that blanket people who
01:32:18.840vote democrat think wait i'm a democrat or is it better to say i think people have enough of this
01:32:24.440leftist uh movement i i think it's the latter and i think that um you're you're watching i know it's

01:32:40.380we kind of pretended as if on the right that just surrendering uh america's youth ministry known as
01:32:47.340our education system to cultural marxist for 40 years um wasn't going to have any repercussions
01:32:53.340whatsoever and now you're watching the first fruits of that harvest are coming home to roost at
01:32:58.440the moment uh and we are we're we're not even i don't even think we're polarized anymore i think
01:33:05.020we're balkanized if you get the reference that i'm making here so okay let's let's pick it up there
01:33:09.600how do we um how do we come come back and and how do we start reaching out to the people who actually
01:33:17.220do have much more in common with us because they do believe in the bill of rights even though the
