Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly dissect the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, condemning mob mentality and comparing Democratic rhetoric to Stalinist purges. They analyze the Saudi Crown Prince's alleged role in Jamal Khashoggi's murder, criticize International Pronouns Day as compelled speech, and discuss the opioid crisis fueled by fentanyl-laced Xanax. The hosts argue that Trump reflects America's zeitgeist while Democrats embrace cult-like idolatry of issues like abortion, ultimately calling for a return to laughter against political correctness and a rejection of violence against opposing viewpoints.

Because The Office is on Netflix and replaying, a lot more people have seen it recently.
And I think because of that, there's been a resurgence in interest in the show and talk about bringing it back.
But apart from the fact that I just don't think that's a good idea, it might be impossible to do the show today and have people accept it the way it was accepted 10 years ago.
The climate is different.
I mean, the whole idea of that character, Michael Scott, so much of it was predicted on inappropriate behavior.
I mean, he's certainly not a model boss.
And a lot of what is depicted on that show is completely wrong-minded.
That's the point, you know?
But I just don't know how it would fly now.
There's very high awareness of offensive things today, which is good for sure.
But at the same time, when you take a character like that too literally, it doesn't really work.
He's right.
100% right on that comment.
He's weak.
Oh, I disagree.
I think he's pointing.
I think he's criticizing.
Do you?
Yeah, I do.
I actually legitimately do think he's criticizing this climate.
Obviously, he agrees with Me Too and everything else, but I think the point of me too.
We all agree that women should not have to deal with this nonsense.
But I mean, I think what he's saying is, I don't even think you could do, like, it's like Microsoft.
Remember, Bill Gates?
I don't even think you could start Microsoft today.
I think that's what he's saying.
I think he's saying, I don't even think you could start the office today.
People would be too offended.
It wouldn't even work.
So let me go here.
I'm going to take you to Ithaca College.
Ithaca College, brand new holiday in America, according to Ithaca College.
And we all must support it now.
Sure, you didn't know you needed another holiday, but you do.
It's International Pronouns Day.
Now, it hasn't gone nationwide yet because it was just invented.
But if Ithaca College and the mayor of Ithaca, New York have anything to do with it, this is going to be a treasured holiday.
Your kids will say, where were you when they first started International Pronouns Day?
And you'll say, kids, well, I was on the cliff of insanity.
In hell is where I was.
If you judge a book by a cover, you might think Pronouns Day celebrates the joy of good grammar, but no, no.
You'd be totally wrong.
Pronouns Day is going to celebrate the LGBTQI community and highlight how insidious structural racism, misogyny, and classism all interweaves together and how it causes oppression.
See, that's our thing now.
You go to college, not to learn how to Make things, build things, do things.
No, no, no.
You go to college now to figure out how oppressed you are.
Oh my gosh.
I hate to spoil a good holiday, but the focus on oppression sounds a lot like, you know, the airing of grievances, which, as any fan of Seinfeld will tell you, is a, you know, part of another made-up holiday called Festivus.
So I don't know if I need to point that out.
New Holiday is the brainchild of Ithaca College's Center for LGBT.
Oh, wait a minute.
They didn't use the Q and the I?
Oh my gosh.
I am so offended.
It's just the LGBT Education Outreach and Services with the support of Ithaca's mayor's office.
The International Pronouns Day website explains, referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic human dignity.
You know, I am a one-winged purple dragon, and you will refer to me as that from here on now, from here on out.
Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender non-conforming people.
Together, we can transform society to celebrate people's multiple intersecting identities.
Oh man, you know, I try to be a good person.
I really do.
I try to be a peaceful person.
I try to let Jesus and Martin Luther King and Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln and all of those great men really kind of guide my life.
And then I read something like this and all I can think of is shut up.
Shut up.
So I apologize in advance for even thinking that.
Oh boy, I hope I'm not deplatformed.
Oh my.
Oh geez.
If Google could just start installing fMRIs in all of our devices, they would be able to read our minds and be able to see who's good and bad and who should be deplatformed and silenced and quite, quite frankly, perhaps liquidated.
Now, the director of the Ithaca College LGBT, I don't know if you're Q and I, how you feel about this place, but the LGBT Center says, this holiday is not just important.
It is required.
It is required that we all call people by the pronouns they wish to use to confer basic dignity and respect.
So compelled speech.
We're no longer into freedom of speech.
You can't speak your mind.
But if you don't speak someone else's mind, Hasta La Pasta.
Oh my gosh, I've just, I have just appropriated both Mexico and Italy.
The horror of it all.
It is required now.
So I don't know if this holiday comes with a handy pronoun guide, but it should never be written down on paper because it is going to change every single day.
It's impossible for those of us who are stuck in the he and she world.
You know, it's old farts that just say a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
Oh, we're so out of touch.
Oh, and dangerous.
I'll tell you that right now.
International Pronouns Day makes its debut next Wednesday, October 17th.
So let me be the first to tell you there's only five more shopping days left.
It's Friday, October 12th.
You're listening to the Glenbeck program.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Stu.
Glenn, how are you?
Excuse me?
Monsieur?
Purple one-winged dragon.
Purple one-winged dragon, Your Majesty Highness.
Your Majesty Highness.
Thank you.
How are you?
Good.
Sir, stop.
What are you?
That's right.
My goodness, you're just using, oh, sir, and madam.
Empty Suitcases at Embassy00:03:58
Welcome to Jason Buttrill, who is with us today.
I was just thinking, did you just get his name right?
I don't know anymore.
Oh, it did happen.
I don't know anymore.
This is a major day.
Yeah.
Right.
That was it.
At this point, he screwed it up so many times.
I don't know which one is.
Yes.
Now you know the world I live in.
But I get it right.
Glenn is the one who gets it wrong.
I've already known him for five years.
What's my name?
What?
What's my name?
I don't know.
Yeah, I thought so.
Your Highness.
So anyway, Jason is, Jason's our guy who, you know, is kind of a wannabe spook and is.
Can I say that anymore?
Oh my gosh.
My apologies to actual Halloween spooks and to the CIA.
I apologize.
So Jason is a guy who watches international affairs for us.
And I am fascinated by this story of Kashagi from Saudi Arabia.
And I want you to bring me the news that no one in the news is reporting on this, but let me bring everybody up to speed.
If you haven't been following this guy, in a nutshell, he worked for the Washington Post.
He's a revered, revered reporter, which makes me suspicious immediately.
But he's a revered reporter.
Washington Post, he is a Saudi citizen.
He was over in Turkey.
He's going to get married.
And so he's like, I need my divorce papers from the embassy.
And so he goes over to the Saudi embassy.
He tells his fiancé, wait in the car.
I'll be right back.
She waits right in front of the embassy.
Hours and hours and hours are going by.
She's calling his phone.
No answer on his phone.
He's not coming out.
She calls the embassy and they say, oh, no, he left.
Oh, he left just.
We gave him the papers and he went on his way.
And she's like, I've been sitting outside.
Whoa, I'm not sure if he went out.
Yeah, Bill, did he go out the front door?
Yes.
So Bill and the other guy, Mahmoud, says, yes, he went out the front door.
Well, CCDV cameras show that he didn't ever leave the Saudi embassy, at least by the front door.
So the next thing we find out, this was yesterday, is the Saudis, the Saudi prince lands a Gulfstream, his Gulfstream, at the airport there in Turkey, about an hour or so after the guy goes into the embassy.
These guys get off the plane with what appear to be a lot of empty suitcases.
They pile them in the back of the vans.
They're driving to the embassy.
They decide, for some reason or another, they need more empty suitcases.
They buy some more empty suitcases.
They also stop, just a real quick, you know, I don't know, maybe the chef needed it at the embassy, but they needed a bone saw.
They buy a bone saw.
Oh, thank you so much.
Now we can have soup.
And so they get the bone saw.
God only knows what they do in the embassy, but they're seen leaving about an hour later with really heavy suitcases.
They throw them into the back of the van.
They throw them on the jet and the jet takes off.
Meantime, United States says 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.
And 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.
They say they have surveillance in the embassy of him being questioned and then tortured and then murdered.
Saudi Arabia and Muslim Brotherhood00:08:16
We don't know if that is true, but that's the latest today.
So, Kashagi, 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 surely CNN and Christian Anampour would want you to have this information.
We'll give that to you next.
Let me tell you about our Palm Beach letter.
Tika Tiwari is crypto course.
97% of the people who take his crypto course give it a four or five star rating.
And these are people that range from, you know, people like me.
I didn't get into cryptocurrency at all because I thought, I don't know any.
I listened to Warren Buffett.
And Warren Buffett said, don't ever.
No, no, don't ever invest in something that you don't understand.
It's not that you act like that's bad advice.
That's actually really good advice.
It really is, except for cryptocurrency.
Well, except for some stuff that is happening now.
Like, do you understand?
Do you really understand AI and AGI and ASI?
No.
Yeah.
Do you think you're ever going to?
Probably not.
Right.
Are you going to invest in it?
Absolutely.
But again, I'm just gambling.
Right.
Quantum mechanics.
Okay, let's go to the quantum computing field.
They don't even understand it.
Okay, right.
So it's kind of those things.
Anyway, so for people like that that don't understand it at all to people who kind of understand it, this is a place for you to go and learn what blockchain is, what cryptocurrency is, why it works, why it really appears to be the pathway to freedom in the end, I think.
Everybody should have $100 in Bitcoin, I believe.
But that's just me.
I want you to go to take this course, go to smartcryptocourse.com.
That's smartcryptocourse.com.
Man, I'm a good broadcaster.
Every good broadcaster does this.
This is why we need AI, because then we can just replace us with people who can speak so much better.
Robots that can just communicate their points with some level of...
We'll just find some Google algorithm that will just help that AI be just like us.
SmartCryptocourse.com.
That's smartcryptocourse.com or call 877-PBLBC for more information.
877-PBLBC, smartcryptocourse.com.
By the way, I have to squeeze in today.
Remind me, Stu.
I want to start a pro-Melania Trump, I don't know, group, something.
I don't know.
She is the most elegant first lady we have had since Jackie O. She's not been on any cover of any magazine.
She hasn't, nobody says anything nice about her.
Nobody says it's incredible.
When she was out just recently, last week in where, Africa, and this was a Ralph Loren photo shoot.
It was some of the most beautiful photos.
She was in Egypt in front of the pyramids.
It was incredible.
So beautiful, so tasteful.
Nothing.
It's not a major issue, obviously, per se, as you compare it to others.
But I honestly think it is the most pure example we have of media bias.
It is in my book.
That's the McDonald's french fry.
Remember what I'm saying?
You don't remember that part when I said if everybody says they hate McDonald's, okay, that's fine.
But if you can't admit that you like their french fries or that they make the kick-ass french fries that they do, then you have no credibility.
Melania Trump is the McDonald's french fry.
I'm shocked you brought it to fast food.
Yeah.
Okay, hang on.
We got to talk about Kosaghi.
Tell me about this guy, this Saudi citizen that's been disappeared.
I'm always amazed how the media just stops doing any kind of journalism.
Like, I see the stories they're writing and I'm like, this is not what I would be writing about at all.
For one, yes, this is like a Quentin Tarantino style movie.
Amazing.
It really is.
I absolutely think the Saudis are guilty on this.
I think Turkey is probably overplaying what they do have, probably just a little bit because they hate Saudis.
But everyone's framing this journalist, Kashagi, as this great guy.
Nobel Prize winning.
Oh, yeah.
He's got to be, he'll be a Nobel Peace Prize winner soon.
He came up.
So surprise, surprise, he really came into prominence.
The media loved him.
The West loved him during the Obama administration.
Why was that?
Because, well, he was one of these ones advocating for democracy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other places when the Arab Spring was breaking out.
Now, that lines up exactly what the Obama administration was wanting to do.
And also, who were they in bed with?
The Muslim Brotherhood in places like Egypt.
Well, surprise, surprise, Khashoggi is Muslim Brotherhood.
He's actually, that's the reason why he's not in.
People in the media have said, oh, well, he spoke out against, you know, the kingdom, the Saudi kingdom, and that's probably why they didn't like him.
No kidding, but it goes way beyond that.
Like, they support a political Islam group that wants to overthrow the monarchy.
It's a lot, goes a lot further than, oh, yeah, you spoke out against him.
Yeah, he is public.
I wouldn't say public enemy number one, but he's right up in that group with them.
He was friends with the crown prince, though, was he not?
That's how they're framing it.
He was friends.
He loved the crown prince.
They got along and he said a lot of great things about the crown prince.
Now he disagrees with some of the crown prince's policies and that's where they've wants to take the Saudi out of Saudi Arabia, basically.
That's the best way to put it for this guy.
But he's not a good guy.
He wants political Islam.
He wants political Islam to invade countries all over the world and take it over.
And he was living here for quite a while before he went to the Washington Post.
So, yeah, no issues there whatsoever.
On the other hand, so you have this one guy that's not that great of a guy.
Then on the other hand, you have Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince, whoever wants to send, this is this great reformer.
He's a great guy.
He's a great leader.
He's going to modernize Saudi Arabia.
Women can drive now.
All these social issues he's tackling.
He's a thug.
Plain and simple, he is a thug.
They go after, he's doing this to tons and tons of people, thousands of people in his own country.
People just disappear.
They go to jail for the rest of their lives.
He is a thug.
And 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.
If you want to see the place where the next Arab Spring might happen, Saudi Arabia.
The demographics point to it.
I would not be surprised.
Right.
So how do you keep Saudi Arabia under control, though, without a thug?
You can't.
I mean, it's like Russia, really.
Right.
Groups like countries like that, you really can't.
Here's the disturbing part.
Most likely, most likely, this guy was killed by Saudi Arabia.
Yeah.
It just feels like a man, maybe.
All of a sudden he pops up and is like, no, I was at Chick-fil-A and nobody in the media wants to look at Chick-fil-A.
So I was invisible for a while.
Maybe.
Doubtful.
Here's the problem.
We are pushing through a major arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
We should not be doing that.
Nope.
We should not be doing that.
That should be canceled today.
I can tell you, however, what is happening is, you know, the United States was supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
Now we have some people who know exactly what's going on in that part of the world.
And they're probably being talked to by Saudi Arabia, going, look, look, guys, guys.
Yeah, I know you don't like what we're doing here, but it's the Muslim Brotherhood and it's a caliphate.
You want the whole region to be in a Muslim Brotherhood Caliphate?
Have at it.
And that's the decision our president is having to make.
It's why we should stay out of other people's businesses.
Amen.
Stay out of their business.
Can I make a prediction?
Yeah.
So I think that Saudi Arabia will eventually own up to this because I think the evidence will come after them.
I think they'll blame a very familiar foe and they'll say it's the deep state.
The deep state did this and they'll shelter Salman, get him out of there.
Hunter Kelly Fundraising Scandal00:08:57
Thank you, Jason.
Back in a minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Just a second.
Everybody on their best behavior.
We have an Eagle Scout on the phone.
Hunter Kelly.
Wow.
Hunter, how are you?
I'm doing great, Mr. Bett.
Thank you very much.
Good.
We're on our best behavior because I know you're you trying to get your Eagle Scout or are you an Eagle Scout?
I'm trying.
This will get me there.
Okay.
All right.
And what are you doing for your Eagle Scout project?
I am trying to raise $15,000 for Operation Underground Railroad.
And why did you pick that as your project?
My dad heard about Operation Underground Railroad through you, actually, and he told me about it.
And this will make more of a difference than just doing something about my community.
So I want to do something big.
I mean, because usually, you know, somebody fixes up a park or they do, you know, they do.
I mean, the Eagle projects are responsible for a lot of really cool things.
But you have selected saving children?
Yeah, fixing up a park and stuff, that'll help, but it doesn't change someone's lives forever and generations after them.
So what have you done so far to raise money?
Where are you on this?
So far, I've put a campaign out on Facebook and just kind of spread it by word of mouth.
I've gotten $4,600 so far.
Oh, wow.
But I'm getting there.
You sound kind of, I mean, you're very reserved.
Are you.
I mean, you sound very, you know, are you excited about the $4,600 that you've raised so far?
I'm really excited.
I was expecting I wouldn't have to do a lot more to get that much money.
And what have you done to raise that money?
Like I said, so far, just word of mouth.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do next to raise money.
Have you thought about breaking into people's houses?
I mean, there are people that have a ton.
They wouldn't even notice that it was missing.
I don't know if you, have you thought of that?
It's probably a bad idea, though.
Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
I should probably do that.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
So do you have like a website or what?
How could we help you?
No, I don't have a website.
I have just a Facebook campaign to my dad's Facebook.
don't know i tell you what why don't we just because i think it oh you are can't you can't you just say i'm giving it as a gift under under your name so you could do it as hunter kelly So I would challenge the audience to do this.
And I will start with $1,000.
And that's if Stu will do $1,000.
I don't have $1,000.
You don't pay me enough.
$500.
You don't pay me enough.
$250.
$250?
$2.
I can do $250.
$2.50.
Make sure you put it under Hunter Kelly and use your card, Marissa.
You are such, you're just greedy.
You're just greedy.
So go to ourrescue.org and Help Hunter save kids with 15 grand.
How many kids can you save?
15 grand should save five kids with 3,000 per kid.
Wow.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
So go to ourrescue.org.
I think if this works, if you have 15,000 by the end of the weekend, I think I need some sort of a helper badge.
Just saying.
Wow, I just realized I just saved 0.08% of a kid.
Really?
Myself.
Well, humorists.
I've sent a third of a kid, and I want that third of a kid.
Wow.
Congratulations.
I don't think that's how it works.
Ourrescue.org, ourrescue.org.
Go there and make it under the name of Hunter Kelly and make a donation now.
Thanks, Hunter.
God bless.
Thank you.
All right.
Bye-bye.
We got a letter from him, and our staff has been talking to him back and forth.
And they were all like, do not give him a hard time.
He is the sweetest kid.
He is so polite.
He is so nice.
And I'm like, yeah, that's what he wants you to believe, those Eagle scouts.
I mean, you have to be honest, we wouldn't have given him a hard time until they said that.
And then I was like, I have to give him a hard time.
Now we have to encourage breaking an enter.
I'm sorry.
He was forced on it.
To Mr. Kelly, the father, I apologize.
But anyway, Hunter Kelly and go to OURrescue.org.
All right.
Stu, I just want to warn you, because you have kids that are younger than mine.
Teenage years are always frightening.
Now, I've done this before.
I've got two older kids that I saw through teenage years, and it was scary as hell.
Okay.
Not like it is now.
And you are behind me.
So I just want to warn you.
You're in for the terror of your life.
It's like it's like a blumhouse horror movie all the time.
Really?
Oh, my gosh.
It is so frightening because, you know, kids, when they go into their teenage years, their bodies are changing and everything else.
And they, you know, they start not listening to mom and dad and yada yada, all the usual stuff.
Okay.
But now it's like, you know, you could lose them overnight.
And I mean, lose them with depression rates the way they're going with all of this influence that they can get.
I'm just so freaked out all the time.
And I can't believe that I'm alone.
Oh, I'm sure you're not alone.
Like, I was, you know, basically the perfect child, as my mom would vouch for.
If my mother hadn't died, she would say the same thing.
You know, but you're right.
It gets dark fast.
I think this stuff can swirl out of control really fast with social media and stuff.
You know, I don't know how, I don't know how to even contemplate dealing with that.
But I mean, you know, your kids seem like they're in pretty good shape.
I mean, they're upstanding young people.
Yeah, but you know, I mean, my son is now going, he's got testosterone, you know, pumping through his body.
And, you know, I just, it's, it's frightening, I guess, because I remember what I was like.
I remember how I felt, how I was moody and everything else.
And now, you know, what's real?
What's not?
What's it's just so hard.
And, you know, I said to my son, I said to my son last night, we are having a conversation and I said, so what are the two words?
Because he was talking himself down.
And I said, stop, stop.
Listen to yourself.
And he said, what?
And I said, listen to what you're creating.
Listen to what you're saying.
And I gave him the dad I am speech that I've said.
How many times?
If you hear it one more time, oh my gosh, you're going to kill yourself, right?
A hundred times on the air.
You've said you've said this.
I started in this and I said, you know this.
And he said, I don't.
I said, I, I've, oh my gosh, have I not told you this?
You haven't told your own kids, but you've told the national radio over and over and over again.
And I realized that there are some things that we just think our kids hear.
And because they're around us, they just know they're going to pick up.
I 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, but other things are big gaping holes.
And 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, and he hears me give speeches and he hears me on the radio and he hears it, blah, blah, blah.
He's there.
Maybe it's just me.
I don't know if I'm just going through this.
But my gosh, you have to be very, very specific and watch what you're saying to your kids and be with them all the time.
Grayscale Mode for Kids00:04:55
And 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.
Everything else is color.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, one suggestion is a Jodi Foster movie Panic Room.
And she, what she did is she was able to lock herself in the room and have no outside influences at all.
And I think that's something you should consider.
I love it.
I know.
I lock the family in there and just say, we're just in here.
The 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, Catherine Price.
She wrote a book recently called How to Break Up With Your Phone.
And 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.
So you can do this on an iPhone or an Android or whatever.
And basically what it does is it goes to black and white.
It looks like your old school black and white TV, right?
All the brilliant, vivid colors of your phone go away.
And it's weird because you think, well, you know, what difference would that make?
But when you turn it on, there's something just pleasing with all those bright colors in your eyes.
I decided to just do it because there are things I have to do on my phone.
I need to see my calendar.
I need to be able to read articles.
I need to be able to do a lot of things I do for work are stored on my phone, constantly emailing and doing all those things.
That's important and it's part of my job.
But I don't need to, there's times where you're just flipping through Instagram because it's there, right?
And you put it in grayscale.
You turn it on.
You get a disappointment feeling when you turn on your phone rather than a pleasing feeling.
It doesn't give you that rush of like, oh, wow, look at all of that.
And you don't even realize you're getting it until you go to grayscale.
Because when you open up your phone, it just looks like junk.
So let me ask you this.
Have you heard of these devices?
I don't even know.
Somebody told me about them, and I can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
Google has let me down.
I'm looking for something that shuts all devices off of the internet at certain times, gives each person, you know, and keeps that global record in one place and says, oh, you have used this amount of time on the internet.
You've done this.
You've done that.
This shuts off at 8 o'clock at night, you know, on these devices.
Well, I know you're saying for like your kids.
For the whole family.
Well, I know there are options for that.
Like there's one app that you can install on your, on your kids' phones.
My kids don't have phones.
Right.
But I mean, I know your kids pick up devices.
Yes.
And you can turn things off or limit times through your device.
So you can go 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.
Also, I know depending on what Wi-Fi router system you have, like we have Eero, which is like one of those, it's like a mesh network and it covers the house.
But you may, you have no idea.
I have no idea.
And it's a big room of a rack of stuff.
But through those, a lot of times through the new Wi-Fi routers, you can go right through there.
So it's the internet coming into the house.
You're getting it way before that.
You can limit all the content at that level, which is pretty good as well.
We're to the point in my house where my son is seven, and we're to the point now where, like, I need to start putting these parental things on all of the, you know, because before, like, he doesn't care.
He's going to see, you know, Paw Patrol.
He's not looking for, I mean, and I don't think now he's looking for anything, but he could easily stumble on something.
I don't want to see it.
I was watching one kid's movie.
The YouTube spot came up.
It was a horror movie commercial.
Yeah.
That's going to make me wake up into it.
It's amazing what they will see and find in YouTube is, you know, well, they're busy with Prager University.
Yeah, they're shutting them down.
They're shutting them down because it's so dangerous for kids.
My gosh.
I 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.
But, 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 try to secure us as much as we can.
But and anything I find is just not compatible with that system.
I just need, I just want to find a way to be able to shut it all off.
You get only so much time on this and that and shut it all off.
You don't have access to this after this time and no access to this app ever.
Casper Mattress Ad Read00:02:09
You can do that.
I know there's also, they walked through how to do this in the documentary, The Village.
All you have to do is move your family out to a field.
I build some log cabin and everything's good.
It's totally fine.
That's great.
I love that idea.
Thank you.
I'm actually almost to that point.
All right, let me tell you about Casper.
Casper mattress, great mattress.
If you're not sleeping well at night, try a Casper mattress.
And that's sincere.
Just try it.
Just try it.
If you don't love it, you can send it back.
You can't tell, though, after a couple of nights of sleep.
You can't lay on it or even you go into a store.
I mean, I'm not going to have enough time to figure out whether I like it or not.
That's the problem.
And you're right.
Even after a couple of nights' sleep, I mean, I'm sure Casper didn't appreciate the first few spots I did because I said, I don't know if I like it because I didn't.
I didn't know if I liked it.
It took me about a week before my body was like, oh my gosh, I love this mattress.
It takes a while.
That's why they ask you to try it in your home for 100 nights.
Try it now.
Casper.com.
Use the promo code Glenn and you're going to get, I think it's $50 off towards the purchase of your select mattress.
So it is casper.com/slash Glenn promo code Glenn.
Try it out for 100 nights.
If you don't love it, they'll come and pick it up and respond every single dime.
Casper.com/slash Glenn, promo code Glenn.
Terms and conditions to apply.
Welcome to the program.
Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.
I don't think Bill probably has anything to say about the events of the week.
What has even happened?
Such a wallflower, isn't he?
He's a wallflower and he's got nothing to talk about because there's been no news.
None.
None.
Except the dire warning.
I just saw this on CNN.
Dire war, dire warning.
That was, it wasn't bulletin, headline, in red, dire warning.
And then underneath, the graphic said, humans only have 11 years to stop catastrophic climate change.
Dire Warning from Progressives00:04:51
Even if everything they said was true, how could anyone believe them at this point?
Their sales job, every day they say we're in the middle of a non-stop catastrophe.
We go in 10 years without hurricanes.
They don't bring it up at all.
And then as soon as we start getting hit by them again, it's all global warming's fault.
And then they always say, here we are, a few years away.
We must do something.
When that few years comes, we counted it down.
They just move the goalpost back to a few more years and say, hey, a few more years until global catastrophe.
We better act now.
It was 10 years.
It was a 10-year.
It was the same warning.
It was a 10-year warning.
We counted it down.
The UN, all of the activists said, This date, if we don't do anything, it's irreversible.
Now it's 10 years out again.
What a surprise.
Dire warning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stop listening to them.
Glenn back.
People say all the time, how the hell did we get here?
How did we get here?
It's what I love about history.
I mean, once you really, if you're fascinated by history, you can just track things back.
It's like your family tree.
Look at the insanity and track it back.
Where did this come from?
There is genetic codes riddled in everything that is happening in our country.
You can track the DNA back.
For example, political correctness.
Oh, no, it was good because we all want to be good.
Really?
Is that it?
I'll come back to it here in a second.
Recent study called Hidden Tribes: Study of America's Polarized Landscape.
This was highlighted Wednesday in the Atlantic.
Now, more specifically, how the majority of Americans hate political correctness.
Wait a minute.
What?
80% of America believes PC, quote, is a problem in our country, end quote.
Oh, yeah.
The further you break down the numbers, the more revealing it gets.
This isn't going to surprise you.
97% of conservatives have serious issues with political correctness.
But this number might.
The majority of middle-of-the-road Democrats also hate political correctness.
61% of them, to be exact.
The great divide between middle left and the middle right might actually be closer than you think.
There is one group that loves, absolutely loves political correctness, and it is the extreme progressive.
That is 8%.
8% of the population.
The study found that 70% of progressives on the left fully support politically correct language.
Now, that is amazing when 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.
Think about it.
Progressives aren't even the majority on the left or in the Democratic Party.
It's 8%.
Yet 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.
Now, the youth, 74%, hate PC.
Asians, 82% hate PC.
Hispanics, 87%.
The numbers are all across the board.
But progressives, a tiny minority, 8%, has all of us following their lead.
Why?
Why are progressives even so enamored with all of this?
It's simple.
To shut down any kind of debate or public conversation that threatens their agenda.
Progressives didn't invent this strategy.
They stole it.
And that's where, if you're a lover of history, you can go.
Where did the new American left steal this strategy from?
Political correctness, we believe, was first coined in the late 1920s, not by progressives, but in the Soviet Union.
It was used by the Communist Party when anyone had expressed a pro-capitalist viewpoint.
They needed correction to the party line.
So let's say a member of the Politburo was caught reading Adam Smith.
That's politically incorrect.
Maybe they expressed favor for privatizing state-run business.
Very politically incorrect.
Marxists knew that these ideas might actually be factually correct, but they were not politically correct.
When you finally raise the progressive curtain, it reveals all of their secrets, and they are dark secrets.
Kanye West vs Political Correctness00:14:38
And at the same time, everything we're going through begins to make sense.
It's Friday, October 12th.
You're listening to the Glenbeck program.
Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program.
Back, how you doing?
I am very good.
I'm very good.
There is an interview with our first lady today, and I believe our first lady has displayed grace and great composure.
And I don't care how you feel about the president.
I think enough is enough with Melania Trump.
Yeah, I mean, I don't see her in a position where she's being vilified on a daily basis by the press.
They snipe at her.
I've known her for a long time.
Very charming woman, very intelligent, loves children.
I think she's done a very good job as First Lady, and there's really no reason to disparage Melania Trump.
You know, my breaking point was last week when she was over in Egypt and she was over in Africa.
Yeah.
And the photos coming back of her were beautiful.
I mean, it was a Ralph Loren photo spread.
And all the press could do was if they published any of those photos, they just tore her down for colonialism and all this crap.
Colonialism.
I know.
And then here she is.
Hang on.
The most beautiful woman in the Oval Office with the greatest style since Jackie O.
They loved Camelot and her style.
She was on the cover of every fashion magazine, but no fashion magazine will put Melania Trump on her.
No, of course not.
Because then they couldn't go out to their cocktail parties and all that.
You did your commentary on the political correctness, the 8%.
But Beck, you left out some really big thing.
This could never have happened without the open support of the media.
Yes.
I put the media in that 8%.
Political correctness.
Hey, let me just tell you a quick story, okay?
So this week I've been doing a lot of promotion for Killing the SS, which came out on Tuesday.
And in that promotion, I'm basically saying that we in America are seeing a rise of hate and evil.
And I tie it in a number of ways.
One of the ways that I tied it in was that George Soros and his crew have bought up about 20 PACs, political action committees, and they send them out on missions.
And 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 and he was an idiot for not siding with her.
Who's the woman?
The woman's an activist in a Soros PAC making $175,000 a year.
All right.
So I tell that story, which is entirely accurate, 100% correct.
And Media Matters within a half an hour says that I compared the woman to the Third Reich.
Okay?
Now, that's what's going on here.
That's what's in play.
So the 8% progressive zealot fanatics could never have imposed anything on this country without the media taking up their cause and actually doing the dirty work.
I put the media in that 8%.
It is the reason why it has swept the country.
It is, you're right, because of the media, but they are part of that 8%.
Look what happened to Kanye West, my favorite guy of all time.
Okay?
Yeah.
So Kanye West, who I'm, I didn't really meet him.
I was in the elevator with him at Madison Square Garden one time.
He had short pants on and he was brooding.
Right.
Okay.
So he goes on Saturday Night Live, which is staked out territory to destroy Donald Trump because it's good for Saturday Night Live's ratings.
That's why they do it.
All right.
So Kanye gets invited to go on.
He wears the Make America Great Again hat, and no one likes him.
And he's shunned.
And he's brooding again because he's being bullied by Saturday Night Live.
Okay, fine.
Then, because of that, Trump invites him to the Oval Office where Kanye walks in with the hat and does Lombardo with the president or whatever they did.
Okay?
Now, why does anyone care?
Why?
Thank you for saying that.
TNN is talking all day.
Yeah, I know.
He's talking about what he wants to buy Kanye West.
Now, Taylor Swift, she comes out against Trump.
And she's telling everybody in Tennessee, I am out against him.
So Taylor Swift and Kanye West, do I care what they think about geopolitics in any regard?
Beck, the answer is no, I don't.
And no one else does either.
But this is a tremendous example of political correctness.
That Kanye West is going against the PC, so he must be vilified.
So I want to come back because I need to, maybe you should get a cup of coffee in or something.
I need you to get a little more animated here, Bill.
But when we come back, I want to ask you about, because you follow ratings, the ratings are falling apart.
Let's look at the numbers of, you know, from like Betto and others that are running in the Senate.
The numbers seem to be falling apart.
I think that there is a change afoot and the Democrats don't see it.
And when they get their head handed to them by the people, I think they're going to double down yet again.
We'll get Bill O'Reilly's comment on that coming up in just a second.
Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.
His new book is out.
It is killing the SS, and it is really good.
It's worth the read.
Pick it up and read it.
It's really, really good.
All right, ZipRecruiter.
ZipRecruiter is smart technology, and it's really brilliant what they've done.
They have a really brilliant CEO, and he's a high-tech guy.
And it's, you know, when ZipRecruiter first came out, it was a way for you to not have to have an HR department.
You could post a job on all of the different websites.
Well, since that point, ZipRecruiter has become the number one website.
So now they not only post everything there, but they have all of this internal data, and they really listen to you.
This smart technology really tries to find out exactly what you're looking for.
So if you have a big job open up, 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.
But if you're a Starbucks and you're looking for a barista, you don't care that you're in New York and somebody's in Santa Monica.
You need the person right across the street.
So they don't just dump everybody onto your plate.
The smart technology goes through and really looks for it.
Also, they look for the people that are not necessarily out there seeing your ad or reading your posts.
They go out and invite.
It is really amazing.
It is why they have turned out now that you get a qualified candidate.
It used to be within 24 hours.
It's now down usually to about an hour or two.
That's remarkable.
ZipRecruiter, try it for free at ziprecruiter.com slash Beck.
That's ziprecruiter.com slash Beck, B-E-C-K.
ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck.
It's the smartest way to hire.
Bill O'Reilly, let's talk a little bit about what the Democrats should be learning and what they're not learning.
Kavanaugh, since that nightmare, looks like the poll numbers are switching dramatically, at least in the Senate.
Yeah, 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, but I mean, you know, Betto is now down by, it looks like eight to Ted Cruz, which is, you know, about double the lead he had before then.
And then as Bill mentioned, Taylor Swift comes out and talks about how bad Marsha Blackburn is.
Latest poll has her up by 14 in which was thought to be a toss-up race.
Yeah, I mean, it's, I don't think the Democrats are learning their lesson, and yet they're doubling down, Bill.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on what Eric Holder said this week and Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, I paid more attention to what Kanye West and Taylor Swift said than Hillary Clinton and Holder.
I know.
Dennis Miller thinks that Eric Holder is really Stedman, Oprah's boyfriend, and they look alike.
You should put that up on The Blaze, side by side.
Anyway, there's a few interesting things in play here.
Betto has raised $38 million in the last six months or so, which breaks every work in the world.
Where's that money coming from?
It's coming from Soros and his guys and the Hollywood people and all of that.
So he'll stay competitive.
I think he'll lose.
Hang on, let me stop there.
Go ahead.
I've met people who have given to both sides millions of dollars.
They're not happy with the party that loses.
When you give a lot of money and the party says, no, this is the one, this is going to change everything, and then you lose, especially if they lose by eight points.
But those are normal people.
I'm talking about the real shadowy guys.
That's what Betto's getting.
He's getting that big Soros money coming in.
I guess, maybe, yeah.
And he doesn't, they just want, you know, search and destroy.
So I think, you know, I agree with you, Beck, and that always hurts my toes when I say that, that there is a backlash and that the Kavanaugh spectacle alienated decent, and when I say decent, I mean fair-minded people.
Yeah, both Democrat and Republican.
You know, when you have, and I bring this up a lot, no one working for you and no one working for me could have tweeted out, well, Kavanaugh was confirmed, but at least we destroyed his life.
Remember that tweet?
Yes.
Who did it come from?
Came from Letterman's writers.
Colbert.
Or Colbert, you're right.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Sorry.
Okay.
One of the writers for Colbert is both insane.
One of the writers for Colbert tweeted that out.
Okay.
One of the most hateful things I've ever seen.
So if that happened in your organization, my organization, then that person wouldn't be working for you.
If we would have tweeted out, but at least we got Ford, at least we really destroyed her, it would have been a horror show.
The person would not be working today.
And they probably couldn't go out of the house.
So 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 The rhetoric and the plan to destroy human beings is not what America is all about.
Yes.
It's not.
And, you know, when you think in history, Stalin and Hitler and what they did by destroying their opposition, you know, later on, it was physically, but in the beginning, they couldn't murder people.
But they did it other ways.
And that's exactly what we're seeing here in America.
The hate is rising.
The fear is rising.
All of this is in play.
And guys like you and I, unfortunately, we have to fight against this.
And then that puts us in the kill zone.
But to get back to the politics, I do think there's going to be a backlash.
I'm not sure about the House of Representatives, but the Senate, I believe, will be even more Republican than it is now.
So let me ask you this.
If they lose the Senate, where just a few weeks ago, the person who was in the best position to win for the Republicans was Ted Cruz, and he was only one or two points ahead of Betto.
So he was in the best position.
Now it looks like they could, I mean, if it's a good day, they could end up with a majority of 54, 55.
That's significant.
Especially with Donald Trump as president, the most hated man of all time.
If they do lose, do you think they will say, okay, wait a minute, this democratic socialism, this anger, and all that?
They're never going to do that.
They're going to go harder, don't you think?
Of course.
I mean, these people are really, really deranged.
And there are some on the right like that as well.
Yes.
But not nearly the numbers on the left.
And of course, the media promotes that.
But if they win, the Democrats win the House, then that's all you're going to hear.
You're not going to hear anything about the Senate.
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.
You owe.
And the opposition party won the House.
Right.
And it's just the way Americans usually vote.
Yeah.
So, Bill, how do you feel about the use of the M-word?
The M-word?
Yeah, you know, the M-word.
You're not going to use the M-word, are you?
Media Demographics Erosion00:04:11
I don't know what it is, Beck.
Oh, my gosh.
No, I am not, Bill.
Two, two anchors on CNN this week freaked out because a guest was saying the M-word when he was talking about these protesters about Kavanaugh and the mob word.
Oh my gosh, don't say that.
Oh my gosh, don't say mob.
How could you say that?
Oh, you can't do that.
Can you believe that?
How would you define a mob?
The Tea Party was labeled a mob, and so do you.
Yep.
And they danced around the set going, there's the mob, there's the mob.
Look at the mob.
But no, you can't do that.
Of course it's a mob.
That Kavanaugh thing was, there was no better example in modern political history than a mob in that.
No better example.
Are the numbers quickly?
I've got about 25 seconds.
Are the numbers in cable news still going down?
Are people waking up to this?
I'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.
But there is erosion, and I'll tell you why it's happening.
Okay, back with Bill O'Reilly, who has his new book out came this week.
Make sure you pick it up.
Killing the SS.
really good.
You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
Glennbeck.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.
You want to be part of this tour.
It's going all around the country.
You can get all the dates at glennbeck.com slash tour.
There's lots of cool packages with books involved and everything else.
It's the addicted to outrage tour going around America.
Bill, you should come.
You should come.
We should do one of these together.
You know, be a camp follower.
I'll probably go from town to town.
No, no, no.
You should come.
You should pick a city and you should come and we'll do one together.
Yeah, I mean, it's possible we can do that.
But I'd rather kind of like stand outside as I do in North Beach, San Francisco, and just kind of, hey, Glenn Beck here, everyone.
Come on in.
Two for one.
All right.
Bill O'Reilly, last question here on this stuff.
Tell me about the press and the numbers.
Okay, so what's happening is not just in cable news, but it's in all kinds of television watching, is that the machines have now overwhelmed the American public.
Your devices, whatever you call it.
The urchins started it.
They don't watch television anymore.
My kids used to.
They don't anymore.
And now news consumption is following in that regard.
So people are getting used to the fact that BillO'Reilly.com is there, the Blaze is there, they can get it whenever they want 24-7.
So why do I have to sit there and wait for some show to come on?
That's the under 55 set in America.
Over 55, they still like their martinis.
They like the clicker.
They like 8 o'clock, knowing that somebody's on.
But they're starting to get bored with it, Beck.
Because if you watch it, it's numbing.
The same thing said over and over.
How many times can human beings say the phrase at the end of the day?
We are now at 52 million times on cable news.
All right.
It's just insipid, word of the day, insipid.
And you want information.
You want a vibrant opinion that perhaps is a little bit different.
You never get it.
And so it's the guest rather than the host.
The hosts are who they are, and you like them or you don't.
But the guess, I mean, it's just impossible a lot.
It's impossible.
It really is.
So the erosion you can see in the demographics.
It's there on the page every night on the overnight ratings.
The younger people are going away.
That's the first sign.
And then the cracks once Trump gets off the stage because he drives everything now, 100%, in the media.
Once he gets off the stage, it'll all collapse.
Bowling Alone in Politics00:14:50
So, Bill, let's spend a few minutes on your book.
Thank you.
Let's talk about, you know, I know why you wrote this book, to parallel and show the parallels of evil and how that can happen.
But I'm fascinated by the stories that you tell in this.
Let me tell you, too, so your listeners will understand what we're doing here.
There was a concentration camp named Ravensbrock.
It was for women, just women.
And it was north of Berlin.
And nobody ever heard of it.
Of course, the concentration camps were kept away from the German people.
They weren't spotlighted.
There was no news reportage in the Third Reich.
You did what they said, or they put a bullet in your head, or you went to the concentration camp.
So anyway, at this concentration camp was a young woman named Elfridi Huff, H-U-T-H.
And she had a German shepherd dog, as most of the SS guards did.
And she terrorized women and participated in heinous crimes against them.
Before the war, she was a seamstress and went to work and came home and had a Wiener Schnitzel or whatever you do in Germany.
Okay?
And then all of a sudden, she's in a black uniform, killing and maiming and torturing other people.
Elfridi Huff.
After the war ends, Elfridi comes to San Francisco, gets to San Francisco on a refugee visa in 1959.
All right, settles, marries a Jew.
Everybody in the neighborhood loves her.
Elfridi's the nicest woman.
50 years later, they get her.
The State Department finally tracks her down, sends her back to Germany, where she's still alive, Beck, and every month gets a United States Social Security check.
Quite a story, huh?
It's amazing how these people just disappeared.
And they were helped by us a year before the war ended.
Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, and one of the most heinous human beings ever to walk the planet, knew that they were going to lose.
So they formed an organization called Odessa.
You may remember the movie The Odessa File.
They had packs of money and they spread out all over Europe and they designed escape routes for the SS in the concentration camps.
Eichmann, Mangala, Barbie, the butcher of Lyon, all participated, and thousands of other SS.
And while General Patton was occupying southern Germany, he was focused on Stalin and the Soviet Union's expansion.
So the United States wasn't tracking these people at all.
And they just got out en masse.
Most of them went to South America where they had to be tracked down.
And how they were tracked down is just an amazing read.
It really is.
It really is.
Great job on this.
What was the research like on this, Bill?
Well, we caught a break because when we wrote Killing Jesus, we established a very strong relationship with the Israeli government.
They helped us a lot.
And we went back and said, now we're going to do a book on tracking the Nazis and the SS.
And they opened up their files, the Mossad files, and stuff that people had never seen.
We had never seen it.
It was amazing.
And that's why we can put the reader on when you get out, when they're getting Eichmann.
It's like a step-by-step.
We take you through it step by step.
All right.
It's not some like, oh, they got him.
Yeah.
It's how exactly it happened.
The scenes that you have in there where you are talking about the, is it the boyfriend or the son and girlfriend?
And she doesn't have any idea.
Then she realizes and they're like, hey, go look him up again and see if you can develop a relationship.
And she's talking, she's talking to this SS killer who she thought was nice.
And she's like, and she realizes at that moment, oh, dear God, that's who he is.
Yeah.
It's terrifying.
It's terrifying.
Yeah, it is.
And we have a lot of stories in there, like Martin Borman, Hitler's assistant, who was not well known.
They said he died when Hitler committed suicide a few hours afterward.
He didn't.
And we uncovered the dental work that proved that, that proved he got away to Barraloche, Argentina.
I mean, people don't know that.
So the book, First Day Out, sold more than 100,000 copies.
And a lot of that's thanks to you, Beck.
And I really appreciate it.
And it's going great, and we hope people check it out.
We're thrilled.
Thank you so much, Bill.
Appreciate it.
All right.
We'll talk next week, guys.
Appreciate it.
Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.
His new book is Killing the SS.
All right.
Sponsor this half hour is Filter By.
I have a piece of something really amazing to play for you here in just a second.
Something that is the first time Eric Bowling has really talked about the death of his son and opioids.
We'll play a clip of it.
It is part of our podcast series on Saturdays.
They come out.
They're just one-on-one interviews.
And I urge you to listen to this one.
It is quite fascinating with Eric Bowling.
I'm going to play a clip of it coming up in a second.
Filter by is a way for you to change the filter in your HVAC system.
If you're like me, you like Stew, I think like a lot of men, not thinking about it.
No.
Not on the top of my mind.
You almost don't even know where it is.
Nope.
Does the thing turn on when I press the button?
Is it about the limit of my knowledge of the system?
I'm afraid.
You cannot ask me this question.
So you just said that.
I was just thinking something.
So you can ask me back.
But do you know where your HVAC system is?
Where you change the filter?
Do you know where it is in your house?
I think so.
I don't.
It was mine.
I was like, I think so.
It's really not good.
That's not good.
You have to change the filters.
And neither of us know where.
Your wife know?
Oh, I'm sure she does.
I'm sure she does too.
Yeah, of course she does.
Okay, anyway, filterbuy.com.

I have some exciting things to announce to you coming up in just a few minutes.
And I believe there's going to be more on Monday that we're very excited to share with you.
We'll do that in a few minutes.
On the podcast this weekend, and you can get this podcast anywhere you find podcasts now on Spotify as well.
This weekend, Eric Bowling, a one-on-one, a conversation about what happened with his son and how it affected him.
I'll add one more to that.
I lost my faith that day too, Glenn.
I had gone to church five days a week during the week and every Sunday.
September 8th of 2017 was the last day I went to church.
Early in the day, I had spent a long time going back and forth with Fox, with lawyers, trying to figure out where I was going to go forward, what was going to happen.
And we came upon an idea that we were going to separate.
I was separating from Fox.
They said amicably separating.
Bowling and Fox are amicably separating.
And I looked at it on that day as a new beginning.
You can go start and go find another job somewhere and life's going to be great.
You were going to sue.
I didn't know what I was going to do, Glenn.
I will tell you that whatever was written about me was false, patently false.
It was a lie.
It never happened, and no one has ever come forward.
It was all anonymous sourcing.
Make a long story short, my lawyer said it's probably time to just cut ties with Fox and move on and go find another job.
This could go on forever.
And frankly, it was going to be, my family was going to be dragged through the mud for a long time.
So I decided that that was the thing to do.
We cut ties around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
It was a Friday before a long weekend, before Labor Day.
I took my wife out to dinner that night, and we were going to celebrate.
The owner of the restaurant came over and said, Hey, you know, congratulations, it's a new start.
We had a nice drink.
On the way home, we got the call.
We were driving home, and my phone rang.
There's a young man on the other side of the phone saying, Mr. Bowling, call your son.
Call Eric right away.
I said, What's wrong?
He said, Just call Eric right away.
I called over there, and a girl answered, and her name was Kayla.
He had been seeing her on and off.
She was crying.
And for some reason, I just went right to, is he alive?
She said, no.
No.
That was a rough day.
The next day, went to Colorado, and the president called me.
He says, Anything we can do for you?
I said, No.
Thank you.
But at that day, I realized that he cared.
And so for the next few months, I made it my mission to create awareness around opioids.
Eric bought a Xanax on campus and was released with fentanyl and killed.
So, yeah, so that was that day.
And so now we are a year and two days after that.
And it's been a rough go.
We can stop at any time if you don't want to talk about anything.
So I think it's just an important story to tell.
When you said, is he alive?
Why?
Were there indications or was it just a dad feeling?
It was a feeling.
Who gets a call at 10.30 at night and is told to call your son right away without explaining why?
And I just had the hunch.
And sure enough, the hunch turned out to be true.
So it turns out he was, he bought a Xanax on campus that was laced with fentanyl.
It wasn't a prescriptive Xanax.
He didn't know.
And he passed and was an accidental overdose.
So the question you asked me, was I'm going to sue Fox.
At that moment, I had no fight in me to do anything.
So we spent, my wife and I just got very close.
We spent the better part of the next year just talking to other parents, talking any opportunity we could to get the word out that it's an epidemic.
Excuse me.
And parents need to know that their children are at risk.
And it's a massive epidemic in the country.
Young kids need to know that one pill can kill you.
They're not sure what you're ever taking.
And parents need to know that your child isn't too smart, too popular, too athletic to be exposed to potentially dying from an overdose.
It's a very emotional and I think important interview.
There are places that I want to go and Eric has promised to come back, but I didn't want to dogpile.
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.
It's the first time that he has really spoken out about it and what his thoughts are.
And 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, thank you for speaking up for opioids, because there are those of us who we cannot live without them.
We can't, this woman said because of her disease, she can't even sit up in bed and she's bedridden without the opioid.
There 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.
And it's up to each of us to know what we're dealing with.
And they are deadly.
That podcast also goes into his relationship with the president and what he has seen of the president.
And it's a very fascinating interview with Eric Bowling.
You can find that podcast wherever you download your podcast, iTunes, now on Spotify, but everywhere.
The Glenn Beck podcast.
They come out every Saturday, a different interview with somebody who is truly fascinating.
Glenn Beck.
Well, the left's newest approach to social justice seems to be violence.
The days of fighting bad ideas are over.
Now it's about fighting people.
Not even people with bad ideas, just people with different ideas.
We've all seen the footage from last week, the social justice fuel man who roundhouse kicked a woman because of her pro-life stance.
Sadly, I have to report today a similar thing has happened just yesterday when a woman at a pro-life rally near the University in Toronto, Canada, was assaulted by a pro-life protester.
The protester doesn't seem to be the right term here, more like steroid-fueled wrestler.
The footage is really hard to watch, but I think it's important to watch because it is definitely an example of you're not going to believe this.
Liberal Arena Debate Tactics00:13:12
We're not playing it on the air for obvious reasons, but if you want to check it out for yourself, here's what the woman herself had to say.
Okay, sorry, we don't have a saw.
She chased after me, grabbed my full stainless steel water ball, a bottle, and smashed it on the ground, then grabbed my backpack, yanking me back and forth, yelling, get away from me.
Then she came after me and shoved me.
She then moved on to Blazy, bumping him in the chest with hers and saying, Let's go.
Are you filming me?
Let's do this.
The woman then proceeds to pick up a metal hand cart and beat the woman with it.
So in other words, a person who is supposedly protesting for women's rights violently attacked a woman for exercising her women's rights.
At this point, it is impossible to keep up with the contradictions.
I've lost count on them.
However, it's yet another warning that we are slipping into a zone that we have not seen necessarily before or at least in a very, very long time.
It's Friday, October 12th.
You're listening to the Glenbeck program.
All right.
I have a quick announcement to make for the Blaze.
The Blaze Radio Network is a very fast and growing, a very big and fast-growing network of people that are listening all around the country who would like, you know, sometimes a strong look at the news and also a funny look at the news.
And today we're announcing a couple of changes.
If you happen to have listened to the Blaze Radio Network, you know that we always had the Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson.
Doc's been with us for a long time.
If you ever listened to him, you know his entrepreneurial spirit.
And he, for a long time, has wanted to start his own thing.
And he has, and he built it while he was working here.
And we all knew about it.
It's Mojo, I think.
Mojo 5.0.
Mojo 5.0, and it is something, it's his own thing.
How could I do anything but love a guy who says, I want to strike out on my own?
That's great.
Good for you.
And so we wish him all the success in the world.
And we wish him the very, very best on Mojo 5.0.
That left an opening.
Well, we happen to have the best morning guy in the country.
You know, I know I'm doing it, but I'm kind of locked down to this one.
So I had to find the second best morning guy in the country.
And that is, of course, Pat Gray.
So Pat is going to be moving to mornings, but you can still hear him on his podcast and everything else.
And you'll hear him in the mornings preceding this program.
Then to replace Pat Gray, who is very hard to replace because he is not only funny and entertaining, but he also has a great intellect and truly understands our founding and the founding principles.
So we wanted somebody with some real meat on the bones.
And a guy who I have really grown to love, but he already had another job, is Steve Dace.
Steve works for CRTV, but we have convinced CR-TV to also kind of, it's kind of like a Warner Brothers and, you know, the old Paramount Studios deal where we're like, okay, well, you can use our star for this movie.
And we've convinced them to let us use Steve to do a program immediately after this.
And welcome to the program now, Steve Dace.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Good to see you guys.
And we're really, really excited about this.
It starts on Monday.
Yeah, starts on Monday.
He's still going to be on CR-TV.
He's still going to be doing a CR-TV thing, but he's doing two hours for us every day.
If they don't know who you are, explain who you are.
I think, you know, we have a slightly different way of doing things than what you will probably typically hear in conservative talk radio.
One is we're mindful of the things we're actually trying to conserve because kind of nowadays conservative means I'm not a communist.
So we keep moving that far.
But you were just moving in with Pat.
When you say he was the second best one, here's what I didn't tell you, Pat.
He's number one.
And then Space Bar, Space Butter, Space Bar, you're number two, right?
It's called moving the bar.
This is why he's a genius.
So, 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.
We 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.
Guys, we're not arguing at all.
I mean, what we're doing is we're grabbing 17 burner accounts on social media, calling each other anonymous names, returning to 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 talk to, and we're calling that an argument.
Okay.
I actually think we need some real arguments.
We actually need to have both sides come out.
You 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.
So can you have, because I've started having them myself.
I had Dr. Deborah Soe in studio this weekend or this last week.
We had Dave Rubin.
Who else, Stu, here recently?
Michael Reckinwald.
Michael Reckinwald is a guy who used to write for the communist newsletter.
And we don't agree on everything.
But I'm looking for the people who you can't have a conversation with somebody whose goal it is to say rights apply to certain people and not to others.
Isn't there a there is a line of who you can have a conversation with.
There is.
And 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, gentlemen.
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 will do whatever they can within the boundaries of what's acceptable in terms of cultural warfare to defeat your ideas in the arena of ideas.
An enemy is somebody who wants to end you.
An enemy is somebody who has no interest in sharing a neighborhood with you, sharing a school with you, a little league game with you, an office building with you.
And then you look at what's the difference between a liberal and a leftist.
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, then you, as Eric Erickson likes to say, you will be made to care.
The full coercive power of government will be brought down upon thee because resistance is futile.
And you're watching this existential transition happening on the left in our culture.
And 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.
I think there are, though, 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 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 her.
She has no interest in talking to you.
She has no interest in you.
She wants to end you.
She doesn't want to share a country with you.
She just, the best thing is that you could possibly say, the most charitable thing on both sides is they just want to win.
So they'll do anything to win.
And some of them will go so far as when they leave the room, go, that guy's got to be stopped.
And that's dangerous.
But that's not who I'm talking about.
Now, I talk about my mom a lot because she had me at 15.
She got 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.
And 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 has a different view of politics than me.
And for many years, we couldn't talk about politics.
And 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.
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 ingest it.
Do you?
Do you watch it?
Never.
Do you watch it?
Except when I'm on the air.
Just for updates.
Unless it'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 without watching cable news three years ago.
Right.
I mean, I keep up on clips that go viral in social media.
But 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.
She'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.
And I watched the way, you know, my mom is one of those people that is fine, likes Obamacare, thinks that Medicare for all is okay.
We need to be able to provide things like healthcare 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 give $500 million a year of your money to plan parenthood.
She's not fine with that stuff.
So I've recently come to this feeling that we have caused problems of communication because we have seen Obamacare and we know those who designed it.
We know they want single-payer health care.
We know that they are socialist 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 you're a communist.
And they're like, we're not communists.
Right.
And so 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 trying to say end of capitalism.
When 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 course of our careers, the GOP consultancy industry 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.
And that is that the average GOP consultant believes America 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 it's fascinating is Pew did a huge study on this, breaking it down in the 2016 electorate.
The myth of the libertarian voter, and that's how they define them, that voter largely does not exist.
It's a unicorn.
The reality is, and I've seen this on every GOP campaign and for every candidate from state 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 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 the ultimate hedonist absolutely embraces 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 100 million people at the presidential debate and said, I'm going to appoint justices that will overturn Roe.
Myth of Libertarian Voter00:03:13
Okay.
I mean, he has embraced 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.
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 going to put it on my face.
I'm going to marinate in it.
I'm going to 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 going to give it to them.
And you see the way that our base responded to that.
Okay, so let's talk about 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 also he remains on CR-TV and we are grateful for their, I don't know, their friendship, their friendship here.
But Steve starts on Monday right after this program and Pat begins the morning blaze.
Pat slightly unleashed mad dog because he's now tired and cranky on Monday as well.
All 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 years?
It had gone from 31 to 60, like in one move.
And how many months had you paid?
60?
Yeah.
One.
Okay.
And then I switched.
How many were you paying 30?
A long time.
A couple of years, yeah.
Right?
Several years.
Have you ever done the math on that to see how much?
No, but thank you for bringing that up because now I'm probably going to be obsessed with doing that.
Right.
When you bought Simply Safe, you paid for it, right?
And you probably paid for it in less than 10 months, I'm guessing.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
And then you don't pay anything else except if you want the monitoring.
Do you get the monitoring?
Yes.
$14.99 a month.
Okay.
Simply Safe.
It is just the best built safe, the best built system to keep your family safe.
It is smart technology.

Welcome to the program.
So glad that you're here, returning with Steve Dace, Pat Gray, Stu, Steve Berger, our executive producer, and of course, my charming self.
Religious Fervor in Jordan00:08:26
We're talking about the Democrats and what they have done this week, just with Hillary Clinton coming out and saying you can't have a civil conversation with these people.
I don't know who these people are.
That these people used to be a sign of racism.
But you can't talk about these people.
And then Eric Holder, in the week that we have a video of somebody actually kicking a protester, we have Eric Holder saying, kick them when they're down.
Is this the beginning of the end for the Democrats or is this the end of the beginning?
I hope it's the beginning of the end because I think most Americans with any sensibility left in them are being turned off by the Democrats right now.
I think they've, you know, we've talked about this many times.
I think maybe now they have overplayed their hand.
We thought maybe that would have happened a year or two or three or four ago.
But I think after the Kavanaugh hearings and all that's going on now with this civility thing that they're completely issuing, I think people have had enough of them.
So is it important for us to change, say, I think people have had enough of the Democrats because of that blanket?
People who vote Democrat think, wait, I'm a Democrat.
Or is it better to say, I think people have enough of this leftist movement?
I think it's the latter.
And I think that you're watching, I know it's a popular term in another context these days, but you're watching a transition happen.
And, you know, we kind of pretended as if on the right that just surrendering America's youth ministry, known as our education system, to cultural Marxist for 40 years wasn't going to have any repercussions whatsoever.
And now you're watching the first fruits of that harvest are coming home to roost at the moment.
And we're not even, I don't even think we're polarized anymore.
I think we're balkanized, if you get the reference that I'm making here.
So let's pick it up there.
How do we come back and how do we start reaching out to the people who actually do have much more in common with us because they do believe in the Bill of Rights, even though the people in Washington may not?
Back in a minute.
So I talked about this a little bit on the news and why it matters last night.
And I asked the group, was a turning point for the Democratic Party, the leadership?
I think it was.
There was a spiritual turning point.
And it was when they denied God three times in their platform.
I mean, I just, I find it incredible that they actually did it three times.
I mean, it's just so biblical.
And you're seeing in you're seeing the things that I talked about in my, in my novel, The Eye of Moloch.
People don't know that they are repeating rituals.
They don't know what's really going on, but we are repeating Old Testament stuff.
The Democrats really are progressivism, and I think this is why the church is on the defensive collectively in the culture.
It's because it's looked at the clown show that we often see on right-wing cable news of guys who pretend to be ministers, but really they're just ministers of the church or whoever the GOP guy that gives them a seat at the table at the moment is.
Or the Democrats.
Or the Democrats on the other side, you're right.
But I mean, in terms of people who have a discerning spirituality, which would tend to lean more conservative.
And so there's a lot of discerning people in our pulpits that have decided they don't want to be the next Ralph Reed clown show on cable news, basically.
And so they're just going to vacate the public sphere altogether, which is kind of a false choice, really.
And it's because they don't understand that progressivism isn't a political ideology.
It's a religion.
And I say this on our show all the time, Glenn.
It's the Arius, Marcione, Pelagius.
If you know great heretics throughout the course of the history of the church, that's what this is of this era.
It has its own hermeneutic.
It has its own creation mythos and Darwinism.
It has its own ecclesiology where the state essentially replaces the church and government becomes God.
Like Chesterton said, when the government removes the God, the government will become the God.
And that's what you're dealing with here.
The same reaction you're getting from leftists when you trigger them on their statism is the same reaction that you would get with your beliefs if you walk down the walk down the streets of Amman Jordan, a quote-unquote moderate Arab nation.
Walk down the streets of Amman Jordan where their queen is a 75 on a scale of one to 10 and the king seems to be a moderner, modernist, right?
Walk down the streets of Amman Jordan and say this, okay?
Say, Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
Make sure you're wearing Kevlar and find out first if they have a second amendment in Amman Jordan because your life will be in danger.
And that's what you're witnessing here.
This is religious fervor.
You're attacking their idol.
This is not mere political disagreement.
This isn't even just fundamental existential philosophical disagreement.
This is religious fervor.
You're dealing with the lucid sanity that cults produce.
I just want to say the first part of that dissertation, I only understood about 10% of it.
Pat, say some short words.
Say something.
Say something.
Translate that into human language.
I think we see that with global warming, with their reaction to abortion, with this Roe v. Wade thing that means absolutely everything.
They worship at the altar of these things.
It really is a religious fervor that you see with them.
And this is kind of the point of the Eye of Moloch: this is Baal.
This is what they don't necessarily know that.
No, they don't know it.
But that doesn't change the fact that that's what they're doing.
It was the worship of the environment and the sacrifice of your children.
He wanted your children to be sacrificed on an idol.
You would have promiscuous sex at a celebration of Baal.
You could do anything in the woods, in the groves, in the groves, and then when you got pregnant, he would call you back and they would slaughter the newborn baby.
I mean, it is exactly the worship of Baal.
There's nothing new under the sun.
You know, when St. Paul is looking back on the time period, himself a Jew, so he grew up in the Jewish schools.
He knows this history very well.
When he's looking back at that time period is when he writes forward thinking in a New Testament world in Romans 1.
When he talks about the wrath of God revealed on the world.
I used to think when I was a baby believer that if cultures did bad stuff, it would cause God to act.
The more you study Romans 1, I think it's actually the other way around.
I think we do bad stuff because we deny that God is acting, meaning it's a self-enforcing mechanism.
The natural law kind of enforces itself.
And so you're dealing with people that, what's the line in the New Testament there?
When you exchange the truth for a lie.
So there's one big macro truth in the universe.
And there's lots, but there's lots of eyes, right?
Lots of lies.
So when you exchange the truth for a lie, you're given over to a debased mind.
And that's what you're talking about.
And I go back, you know, one of my favorite movie rants when I was a kid, and it's probably a terribly placed analogy, but Donald Pleasant's rant in the first Halloween movie about Michael Myers, he can't be killed.
He can't be stopped.
He can't be reasoned with, right?
When he's going off about him and what he was like in the insane asylum, that's what you're dealing with here.
There's no talking.
Look at the guy who dropkicked the woman in Canada.
One, he's wearing a pentagram around his neck.
If you go look at his picture closely, okay?
I mean, that's just self-awareness is dead in your face kind of stuff.
Look at the way he talks to her.
He's really polite.
He's asking her what she thinks.
He's totally lucid.
He's not crazed.
He's not a raving, roving mob.
Okay.
And then when she said, when she, when she refuses to bow to the same idol that he is, all he is worshiping, the total countenance changes and he dropkicks her.
Hawaii Real Estate Agent00:04:33
Look at this Hirono woman from Hawaii that's on television all the time now.
I mean, her account, the way she looks, she looks like when you take your bride to Hawaii for a vacation or a honeymoon and you get off the plane, she's there with a plate of sweet rolls ready to welcome you to the islands.
She just looks like the sweetest old woman, doesn't she?
Then she starts talking about politics, man, and she opens her mouth and it's brood of viper stuff comes out.
Yeah.
And this is lucid sanity that cults produce with idolatry.
I feel like, you know, when you discover a new band and you know, get excited, like the next album's going to be amazing and like you're in on it early?
That's how I feel with Hirono right now.
Yeah.
She's just starting to say these crazy things.
She's going to be a legend in conservative talk radio because she is, she can't help herself.
She doesn't seem to know what the lines are of what she, she's going to be our next Maxine Waters.
Yes.
And I'm excited about it.
Yes.
I thought you were going to say, you know, when you think you're really early on a band, blah, blah, blah.
And, you know, you may not be, but you discover it and you're like, Boston is great.
I think there's probably a lot of people that are feeling that way about Steve Dace, and he begins on Monday right after this program as Pat moves in on the mornings on Monday.
It's going to be cool.
You're going to hear words you've never heard in my time slot before.
I think we just discovered that.
And I might even know what some of them mean.
Maybe.
I'm just going to be throwing stuff out there and hope it sounds smart.
What's really amazing?
There are two kinds of people that use those kinds of words.
They're the people who use them because they want to sound smart and they're just positioning themselves.
And then there are people who just assume that everyone is as well read as they are.
And those people piss me off because they're real and they're really smart.
And that happens to be you, Steve Dace, joining us from CRTV.
He is still going to be doing his CR-TV thing, but he is going to be live on the Blaze radio network and television network, I think.
Eastern Time.
Noon to two Eastern Time.
So immediately following this program.
And an important question for Pat here.
The move to mornings.
Does Moron Trivia continue?
It does.
Oh, yes.
Second hour on Friday.
All right.
I think we need a short version of that every week for this program.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I think we need to take the highlights and put them on this program.
That'd be great.
So we can follow more on trivia.
So we'll do that.
Anybody going to see the Moonshot movie this weekend?
Oh, that's right.
Starts First Man.
Yeah.
I'm going to see it, I think, this weekend.
It's PG, so I'd like to because it looks really good.
Yeah, I'm taking my kids to it this weekend, and I will bet you that it is not the offensive anti-American movie.
Well, they said the flag is planted.
They just don't make a big deal out of that scene, right?
Isn't that what we're doing?
Well, I was all in on this movie.
I don't need a movie to affirm my values, but it can't agate prop them at the same time, right?
I mean, this wasn't a global event.
This was something the American people came together to accomplish.
Yes.
And so when they tried to downplay it, I'm already like, you know what, man, I'm not giving you my money.
But hang on just a second.
It's raining.
It is a global event, but it is also an American achievement.
That's okay.
I'm fine with that distinction.
I mean, if you're taking off the flag off the side of the uniform, and I probably should have said it wasn't a global achievement, but an American one.
Yes, that's true.
And it was a human achievement, but it took the Americans to say, let's do it in a decade.
Let's do it in a decade.
All right.
Back in just a minute with more of the program.

Done here.
I'll talk to you later.
All right.
Thanks.
Welcome to the program.
Glad you're back.
Just talking to Steve off the air.
He's fascinating.
He is really, really, really fascinating.
He's one of those guys too has really walked through the fire for his principles.
And that's something I really respect.
I really like what he says about Donald Trump.
Donald Trump's not the problem.
He's a reflection of us, and he's reflecting that part of us that says, get him.
I mean, he's really, he's really done his homework on Donald Trump and how bright he is on reflecting the people.
And it really, when you look at how Donald Trump is reflecting the zeitgeist, if you will, it really shows how wrong the Democrats, the Democratic leadership, really is.
They're just, they're off the deep end.
I think I mentioned, I don't know if I mentioned this off the air, but there's a story in the New York Times today.
This is the headline.
In the New York Times, Michelle Obama wanted Democrats to go high.
Now they aren't so sure.
And it goes through the Eric Holder quote: when they go low, we kick them.
Michael Avenatti, when they go low, I say hit back harder.
Hillary Clinton, you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.
When we win, that's when civility can start again.
There was another Joe Biden.
If I were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
I mean, this is as they talk about the New Democratic Party.
What's the difference between that and Donald Trump saying, when they hit me, I hit him back twice as hard?
Well, I mean, what they're saying they are trying to oppose is Donald Trump.
Yes.
Right?
I mean, they're not certainly not selling themselves as the new Donald Trumps.
They're saying Donald Trump is so bad, we must act this way.
So, I mean, you know, I don't like it from anybody.
So, I mean, I've certainly been clear about that over the years.
But still, I don't think that that it's an amazing thing.
I think because you look at Michelle Obama, who is the only one that I saw out of all of the Democrats who came out and said the holder comments were bad.
That's her phrase that was being criticized, right?
But she was saying, like, no, that's not the right way.
Now, to me, that is complete lip service.
The Obama administration paid lip service to civility.
They paid lip service to bipartisanship.
They paid lip service to a lot of things.
That's what made them almost unbeatable for the average person.
Right.
They won twice based on that.
And even though they were just as hard-nosed as any other Democrat, just as hard-nosed, they at least tried to hide it.
This switch is now overt.
We are harassing Maxine Waters.
We're harassing people in restaurants, harass them, go after them.
Several Democrats have said this now.
It is the new policy, seemingly, of the Democratic movement, as defined by Eric Holder, who said this is the new Democratic Party.
And it's amazing how they all claim to be the new civil rights leaders because they're all emulating Malcolm X.
They are not emulating Martin Luther King.
Yeah, that was really the deal.
I mean, that's what won the civil rights.
I contend if Martin Luther King would have swung back and they would have followed Malcolm X, things might have been worse for blacks for a while.
I mean, you go back very rarely does that tactic work, right?
I mean, people want, they don't want to think of themselves as animals harassing innocent people in restaurants.
I mean, that's not something that anyone wants to associate yourself with those people, right?
And you see that occasionally on the right with certain groups who go down these roads.
You know, the alt-right, for example, what you'll hear from conservatives about the alt-right, generally speaking, is either they're horrible, horrible, and people and totally wrong on all these issues, or they don't exist, right?
Like, there's very few people who are like, you know what, the alt-right's pretty darn great.
I mean, Breitbart famously, you know, and I don't, not to, you know, but Steve Bannon was the one who said that, that Breitbart was the platform for the alt-right.
But really, outside of Steve Bannon, you've seen almost no embrace of these groups, largely because no one wants to be associated with them.
Right.
Right.
Like, who wants to, I don't want to, I don't want anyone to think I'm friends with that guy.
Right.
That's just a normal human instinct.
And that's not even Nazis.
That's alt-right.
Really?
Nobody even knows what alt-right is.
I mean, the average person, they just see them as people who are going out in the streets and, you know, beating people up or torching people or marching against Jews and blacks and everything else.
And you're like, I don't want to be a part of that.
I just don't want it.
That's ugly.
I don't want that.
Obviously, there was an actual death in Charlottesville, right?
And everyone would say that that is horrific.
But, you know, we're there, right?
Like, we're just marching around with torches and saying horrible things.
Do you want to be associated with any of them?
No.
No, but the left also, there was the shooting of our congressman a year ago, and it's like it never even happened.
Nobody, the guy who was arrested this weekend, I think it was CBS that was reporting this.
He was arrested because he had built a 200-pound bomb and was going to blow himself up on election day.
They didn't even report that he was a leftist.
I mean, they just won't recognize it.
And, you know, who on the left is standing up against that?
Who's standing up and going, oh, we don't want to be anything?
No, that's not us.
We don't want to be a part of that.
They just deny that it ever happened.
And it gives them this ability just to silently endorse them.
