Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump are on opposite sides of the aisle in the primary battle for the Republican nomination for Governor of Florida. Glenn Beck says it's time for both of them to get on the same side of the political aisle.
00:43:19.440We don't know who controls the Senate either.
00:43:23.440We think the Democrats have control, but that may not be.
00:43:27.460And why is it taking so long to count the ballots in the same county that had the problem last time?
00:43:36.640Bill O'Reilly gives us perspective on the week in 60 seconds.
00:43:41.680You and I have a lot of work to do in this country.
00:43:47.760It seems like the battle is always uphill, especially when it comes to fighting against the constant efforts of those who want to destroy America from within.
00:43:55.880But hope persists, and we, you know, we didn't even lose this battle, but we feel like we lost this battle.
00:44:03.360This is not the war. This is the battle.
00:45:33.600And, you know, the problem is, I disagree with you.
00:45:36.420It should not go to the federal level just because the feds are out of control and we don't want to do anything that federalizes an election.
00:45:43.760The state's got to get its crap together.
00:49:11.460The overall vote in the House is 5% plus GOP, which, you know, when you compare to the last NBC News poll, which was totally bogus, shows you that most Americans wanted Republicans to control the House.
00:49:29.380The problem was the individual districts.
00:49:31.740So more Americans, by a fairly significant number, voted for House Republicans.
00:49:38.500But there's Biden up there, who is absolutely destroying the fabric of the American economy.
00:49:44.760And what shocked me, and shocked is not a word you usually use, it would shock me, is that so many millions of Americans voted against their own self-interest.
00:49:57.440I mean, I'm sitting there going, do you not see your wallet?
00:50:01.920Can you not count the money in your wallet?
00:50:05.120It is far less than it was two years ago.
00:50:08.300So that is something that causes a lot of people concern and questions.
00:51:50.220I live in New York, and Zeldin lost, okay, to Hochul, incomprehensible, talking about people voting against their own self-interest.
00:51:59.980Nine out of ten African Americans in New York City voted for Hochul.
00:52:03.860And there are dead bodies in every black neighborhood stacking up because Hochul will enforce the law.
00:52:13.060They're voting against their own safety.
00:52:15.160But every blanking commercial that you saw on television was, Zeldin's a denier, Zeldin's this, Zeldin's Trump, Zeldin's a Nazi, the whole thing.
00:54:41.200That's another thing that drives me absolutely up the wall, that if you compare his four years of governance to Biden's two years, it's not even on the same planet.
00:55:05.060So, what is your advice to, because my advice to both parties is, to both Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, I started the show with this, please don't eat each other.
00:56:21.540And that is the mystery of the universe.
00:56:23.860So as a friend of his, what do you tell the supporters of both Ron and Donald Trump who truly believe that they are fighting for the soul of America?
00:56:37.980How do we, how do we, how do we, how do we as people deal with this possible fight coming?
00:56:46.580Well, voters have to make up their own mind on who they want to lead them.
01:01:25.740And you're not going to hear from DeSantis about a run for about a year.
01:01:29.880You know, he'll line it up, and he'll raise money, and both guys have a lot of money.
01:01:36.280But I don't think DeSantis is going to get out there and start waving a presidential flag for a year, because he owes it to the people of Florida not to do that.
01:01:44.660And, you know, a year out is more than enough time for DeSantis to get whatever he wants to get up and running to be president.
01:01:52.920And in that time, the polling will show, I think, that DeSantis will consolidate power, whereas Trump will lose power, unless he does, of course, reversal Donald Trump and runs on his record.
01:02:05.080But even then, it's going to be hard to get that message out, because the media is never going to report what he's doing, honestly.
01:02:30.560So that throws it wide open to Amy Klobuchar and the governor of California Newsom and all the other people, none of whom really have captured the American imagination.
01:02:41.780And I think the woke stuff, you know, DeSantis had the best line I've heard in years from a politician.
01:03:16.640We are now, according to the Fed, mortgage loans, you missed this because it came out during the election, have crashed to depression levels.
01:03:26.740That's something we should pay attention to.
01:03:59.360Our future, when it's controlled by the robot overlords, and I mean that literally for you and me, though, what I mean is you're going to get a great night's sleep because you're going to probably be in a pod.
01:04:10.080But while we don't have robot overlords, may I suggest you contact MyPillow.com.
01:04:25.900If you need sheets, these are tremendous sheets.
01:04:29.220Like everything else MyPillow makes, these sheets come with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
01:04:33.780And if you're going to buy them as a gift, you should know the orders placed between now and Christmas will have their money-back guarantee extended until March 1st, 2023.
01:04:44.480Sleep on the best, especially when they're priced so low.
01:05:34.480You would expect that from an economy in a recession, but this is worse than that.
01:05:41.200In nearly all categories, banks are reporting both tighter lending standards and sliding demand for new loans, and nowhere more so than in mortgages, both qualifying and otherwise, where demand has collapsed to depression levels as a result of the fastest ever surge in interest rates.
01:06:00.800So, I want you to listen to this carefully.
01:06:06.320C&I loans, they're commercial and industrial loans.
01:06:09.460While they're still doing okay, and demand for credit card debt is at near record highs, to be expected at a time when revolving credit debt is soaring at the fastest pace in history.
01:06:22.800In history, record, you know, adjustable mortgage rates be damned, it's only a matter of time before these two core credit categories follow the mortgage loan demand into purgatory, at which point the U.S. economy will be a complete disaster.
01:06:43.540You should not lose yourself in the fight for national politics.
01:06:51.980This is going to be a local issue with all of us, and we will survive if locally we are together and your state is together.
01:07:02.540It's going to come down to the states.
01:07:04.640All right, I've been talking to Stu this morning about the count in Arizona and elsewhere, and so we brought John Gabriel, who Stu is kind of leaning on a little bit, in Arizona to get the count down.
01:07:25.560Stu, I have to say before we go in, you were the most pessimistic of anybody.
01:07:33.220I know, and I mean, this is what I pay you to do, and you are probably the closest out of anyone that was making any kind of prediction, but still you look like you were even maybe too optimistic.
01:09:01.360But the people of Arizona are very upset at the county and the county officials and the state, people counting all the votes here, very upset and demanding change.
01:09:12.300And you're seeing that now, even from the left, saying, but really, what's taking so long?
01:09:16.620I think Hobbs is going to lose her lead very quickly.
01:09:21.360I think it'll be by the end of the day today.
01:10:06.980Both of us thought and really they what they usually do is they start reporting the Election Day votes.
01:10:12.020Instead, they're just like clearing out the backlogs of the old votes.
01:10:15.800Those are always far more pro-Democratic Party than Election Day votes.
01:10:21.000And as far as Election Day votes go, we're talking 65 percent going to Carrie Lake, up to 75 percent going for her.
01:10:28.840So the second they actually count votes from Election Day, which you think they would have done on Election Day, then this is going to turn around.
01:10:44.400And we just have to go through this agonizingly slow procedure that our betters in government have created to count the votes as slowly as possible.
01:10:53.720So has Katie Hobbs come out and said anything about the procedure?
01:10:58.000Because she is the chief election official.
01:11:11.800Instead, she's complaining about Lake pushing conspiracy theories that the vote is taking a long time to count, which we can all see with our with our eyes.
01:11:21.080She's not taking any responsibility for this.
01:11:24.420And as secretary of state, she's the one in charge.
01:11:27.440She's the one who approved the election machines that weren't operating correctly on Election Day.
01:11:32.460And she is in charge of all these processes and procedures that have led us to this once again becoming a national punchline and not changing the system like Florida did after 2000, which, you know, they've already blazed a path.
01:11:47.080All we need to do is mimic what they did.
01:12:05.800And then we also heard that a lot of voters, probably skeptical of mail in voting, probably Republicans, came to the ballots with their mail in ballot, like came to the actual polling places and turned it in on the day of the election.
01:12:25.000Instead of mailing it in advance or voting in the voting booth, they decided to vote early, but then show up on that day.
01:12:32.240Is there real evidence that this was a problem?
01:12:35.800Um, I don't see how this could be a problem.
01:12:39.820But I think these vote counting officials and elections management people should stop complaining about the unruly peasants wanting them to do their job faster and fix the problem.
01:12:51.660That's been the problem the past two years is they will just make cracks and make jokes about, oh, you crazy tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists.
01:13:00.240Yeah, if you want to reassure people in a very low trust environment, which our politics is today, do your job correctly.
01:13:08.460And they have refused to and they deserve all the feedback and blowback that they've been getting on this.
01:13:16.820I think this is an important point to make at this point, that there is no, um, there, there are no charges, credible charges, at least that show that new ballots are being added or anything else.
01:13:44.020Um, this is incompetence from everything I can see now.
01:13:47.020If it turned out to be something worse, I would be the first to holler about it.
01:13:50.800Now it's looking like incompetence and, uh, that will be borne out as, uh, Carrie Lake catches up to Katie Hobbs and, uh, then surpasses her and blows, blows out the Katie Hobbs race.
01:14:06.660If we would have had the results of Carrie Lake on a Tuesday night, this whole week would have been different if she won and Blake even won or was just razor thin close.
01:14:19.880It would have changed the, the entire narrative of the week because you would have had, uh, you would have had, uh, Rick, uh, Rick DeSantis or Ron DeSantis.
01:20:07.460He's been pushing for all sorts of legislation.
01:20:09.360Some of the legislation going through now to try to regulate Bitcoin was stuff that he authored and pushed for and lobbied all these Congress people to pass.
01:20:21.160It's still seemingly going through, even though all this is going on.
01:20:24.080Basically, he took all sorts of ridiculous risks and got caught.
01:20:27.560I think he was probably committed crimes and probably should go to prison for what has happened here.
01:20:34.280This is the third largest crypto exchange out there, FTX.
01:20:38.160And the other thing that is important, I think, to note here is this is another Elizabeth Holmes story.
01:20:44.320It's another story where a guy who's got lots of money on the left comes up out of nowhere.
01:20:49.740He's 30 years old, I think, 32 years old, something like that.
01:20:52.860The media makes him into this superhero.
01:20:56.080They don't question him nearly enough.
01:20:58.860They go through this entire process where they elevate this person who obviously doesn't know what they're doing and make him into a media star.
01:21:05.680And then there will be no mea culpa for why they did that.
01:21:09.680There will be no there will be no action.
01:21:12.540In fact, what will happen is we will get podcasts produced by the same reporters, hosted by the same reporters who made them into media stars.
01:21:22.820And say and say, wow, look at the downfall of Sam Brank and Freed.
01:21:27.260Well, I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
01:21:30.460And, you know, it's going to hurt cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, certainly.
01:38:33.680Basically, it's going to help you help your skin be as smooth and supple as possible.

01:39:04.600Every most popular package includes GenuCell's correcting serum free when you add to your card.
01:39:33.000So as we leave you for the week, we I want to get a last take from Stu on the the Congress, because both of us are a little concerned that.
01:42:43.480But to look at this as if like I am 100 percent positive Republicans are going to win the House is not the way I would look at this right now.
01:42:52.880You know, we looked at this as I've looked at this election right now is we didn't get the red wave, but I didn't think there was going to be a big red wave.
01:42:59.160I thought it would be a favorable election for Republicans.
01:43:03.720You can make the argument it wasn't a disaster if they can get the House right then in split.
01:43:09.140There's a lot of positives that come out of that scenario.
01:43:13.880The betting markets believe there's a 93 percent chance the Democrats will win the Senate and a 91 percent chance the Republicans will win the House.
01:43:21.700So the experts, the people putting their money in it, they still believe Republicans will do it.
01:43:27.100But to give you the the actual sort of district by district detail there, that's a little scary, isn't it?
01:43:34.880I mean, are you at all terrified by by those prospects?
01:43:53.980No, I, I just believe that in the end, as long as we all did everything we had to, it's going to work out in our favor some way or another long term.
01:44:16.360If let me give you a bad scenario for a second, because I like doing this to you.
01:44:19.220He says that I'm gloom and doom, but when I'm looking for a little ray of sunshine, I'm like, hey, he comes in and he's like, let me stomp on your dreams.
01:44:30.720If the Democrats somehow get the House and if they win these three Senate races, which they could, they're going to have a mansion or a cinema to spare on these multi-trillion dollar spending bills.
01:46:49.420And I've been thinking about you a lot this week.
01:46:54.640When I did the coverage, it was difficult to do our election night coverage.
01:47:02.100Because immediately, natural man's instinct is to immediately find fault and blame and declare the path we must go on.
01:47:16.220The older I get, the more I realize how foolish I was to, you know, demand that this path be taken or thinking in my arrogance that I was right about everything.
01:47:28.880And the more I realize that there is a God.
01:47:36.760And almost everything in my life, I mean, honestly, if I would have gotten everything I would have wanted, I would have been married to Farrah Fawcett for a while.
01:47:48.480You know, so it's a good thing that I didn't I don't get my way all of the time, although that one I'm still a little upset about God.
01:47:59.120But I know that everything in my life that I have thought it has to happen this way or I want it to happen this way.
01:48:09.140When it doesn't happen, I it takes me a while, but I usually look back and go, holy cow, look how that worked out.
01:48:19.320And the biggest example for me is Donald Trump.
01:49:31.520You spring into action whenever there is a need.
01:49:37.480I am constantly amazed by your tenacity, even in the face of your heartaches and your worries and your disappointment.
01:49:46.620Disappointment this week was kind of huge.
01:49:52.660I'm not sure if it's because we just hoped for more or we expected more, for sure.
01:49:58.640We painted a bright horizon of political hope.
01:50:05.020And while there was some good news, the red wave didn't happen like we hoped for.
01:50:11.040But let's wait till it's all counted and done, because I think there are many bright spots as well.
01:50:17.280I think the biggest disappointment for me this week is to realize there are so many people who see a completely different future for America.
01:50:29.740And I mean, it's not like, you know, this was as close as we ever got to a real debate.
01:50:37.700And I've said for years, I would love I'd love Mike Lee or Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders to debate.
01:51:21.900But that can be debated in a dozen different ways.
01:51:24.400But regardless if Biden is the worst or not, we are surely living in what is a very complicated, complex and challenging time, to say the least.
01:51:35.840And that leaves, I think, almost everybody in America overwhelmed and exhausted.
01:51:42.060And as we discussed the politics of the moment, and we saw that the politics of the moment are horrendous, I think it was Jason Whitlock that brought up with tears in his eyes the evil that surrounds us and how insidious it is, how blatant it is.
01:52:04.060And many of our fellow Americans are willing to choose that.
01:52:11.060It's no longer, you know, safe, rare and legal.
01:52:25.960I can't believe how many people are choosing this with their with their eyes supposedly wide open.
01:52:34.160It is truly like they have scales on their eyes and they're destroying the world, the world that we have struggled to pull ourselves out of this darkness for centuries.
01:52:45.980And so many of us are running around trying to put out fires that it seems to be gobbling up our world if we if we lose focus on the bigger picture.
01:52:58.800So how do we lift ourselves up out of immorality and anger and arrogance and greed and hatred and jealousy and fear that is gripping our nation in the world?
01:53:12.060I mean, the culture is crumbling around us.
01:53:14.800I just had a conversation with my wife yesterday and said, honey, it is everywhere.
01:55:24.620Lift ourselves out of that because it's going down into places we don't want to go.
01:55:32.180And it means giving away all of our own shortcomings and foibles.
01:55:38.000We can't focus on the lack of nobility of others.
01:55:43.020Because that assumes that we're noble and I don't think I am.
01:55:48.840We have to lift ourselves and our families to a more noble place.
01:55:55.800We must emotionally, mentally, spiritually rise above the immorality that is penetrating every surface of our country.
01:56:06.660As we live in the world, but focus beyond the world.
01:56:14.480And if we do this in the right spirit and align our hearts with his will, not ours,
01:56:20.520we will be blessed with the charity and the humility and the generosity and the kindness and the self-discipline and the peace inside of ourselves.
01:57:14.740Ask God to enlighten your mind and send you all the help you need.
01:57:18.720Today, our job is not just to save the republic.
01:57:21.480Today, our job, just as importantly, is to prepare ourselves and those around us for what is coming.
01:57:31.480We have to be ready and worthy for the tasks ahead.
01:57:38.300I don't know what I actually believe about the times that we're living in, because I think people have thought these things many times and they were always wrong.
01:57:47.000So we're probably wrong if you think maybe, maybe, but if it is, we were the ones chosen to prepare the way.
01:57:57.320And that's not going to be done with anger and hatred.
01:59:23.360You know, the founders saved this country or started this country with under 20%.
01:59:30.220No matter how you look at it, win or lose 50% of the country knows this is wrong.
01:59:40.480There are those who are claiming it's spiritual darkness, but they are on the sides of taking people's choice away.
01:59:54.240And I mean their choice to live their life, but their choice to live their own life, to have their own opinion, to follow the dictates of their conscience.
02:00:06.580Because that, that, that is the dark side if you are trying to squash those things.
02:00:52.940And now you can save money and still do the things that you have to do, like shop for groceries, save money, eating at a restaurant, save money, filling your car up, save money.
