Trump’s Best Debate Yet | Guests: Bill O’Reilly & Megyn Kelly | 10/22/20

Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Megyn Kelly dissect Donald Trump's debate victory over a fatigued Joe Biden, highlighting Trump's factual record versus Biden's confusion on oil bans and migrant cages. They allege Biden enriched his family via Ukraine contracts and a $900,000 China-linked Penn donation while criticizing media bias that ignores the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. The panel predicts Trump will win Texas despite national polls, asserts mainstream outlets suffer from "Trump derangement syndrome," and concludes that voters are hiding true preferences due to social pressure, suggesting future reliance on podcasts over traditional news.

Built Bars Taste Like Candy 00:14:58
We tell you about Built Bar.
I love talking about food, especially good food.
Yeah, because this is the time of day where you're reminded that it's time to eat.
And what do you got there?
What flavors?
Let's see.
I have peanut butter chocolate.
I have coconut almond, which is delicious.
The raspberry chocolate.
Oh, the carrot cake is really good.
And I have banana bread, which is really good.
So these are all flavors that you can get from Built Bars.
Now, these are protein bars.
But when I say that, they're not really.
It's like a candy bar.
Protein bars taste like garbage.
These are really good because the company says we won't put out any flavor unless it's right.
There are high protein, low calorie, high fiber, low carb, and they're delicious.
So if you're looking for something around 130 calories and just to tide you over and kind of be your treat, this is a really excellent treat.
It's Built Bar.
Go to Builtbar.com, use the promo code Beck, get $10 off your first order, promo code Beck at builtbar.com.
They're delicious.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Okay, so what'd you think?
What'd you think, huh?
What'd you think?
Really, seriously.
Great, right?
Was it enough?
I mean, come on, it was enough, wasn't it?
It was enough, right?
I mean, what'd you think?
What'd you really think?
I mean, he beat expectations, right?
And Biden, holy cow, what'd you think of him?
Well, we answer all those questions for you.
And we also have others to help answer.
Gavin McGinnis, one of the poor boys.
One of the poor boys, as Joe Biden pointed out last night.
It could have been proud boys, but Bill O'Reilly is going to be joining us with his analysis.
And someone who would like to really rant against the media, Megan Kelly, joins us on today's broadcast.
Don't miss a second.
This is the closing.
No, seriously.
What do you think?
Right?
It was good, right?
All right.
American Financing.
If you're fiscally responsible as a homeowner, there is reason right now you should be on the telephone and lowering the interest that you pay on your mortgage.
I say it day in and day out.
And have you made the phone call yet?
If you have a mortgage that is in the threes, I can't believe that.
I remember when mortgage rates were at 18 and 19%.
Those days will come back.
Not anytime soon, I hope.
But right now, you can get your home mortgage reduced to in the threes, maybe even in the twos.
Stu just went to American Financing.
He's paying in the twos.
Twos.
That is crazy.
Incredible.
I'm honestly not something I ever thought would be possible.
Never again.
And get them now.
And you know what?
If you have credit cards, roll that in and don't use this opportunity to spend more.
Use this opportunity to save hundreds, if not $1,000 a month.
It's American Financing.
Call them at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
That's AmericanFinancing.net.
American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Oh, holy cow.
We are headed towards a dark winter, said Dr. Death.
Last night, if you were looking for any kind of hope, wow, you didn't get it from Joe Biden.
We are looking, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people are yet to die here in America soon.
Oh my gosh, it's we are entering this a quote.
We're entering a dark winter.
What?
Was this an episode of Game of Thrones or was this the presidential debate?
I was, I've never seen anything, I've never seen a president talk down or a presidential candidate talk down.
Well, yet, no, I have.
Jimmy Carter.
Last night, Donald Trump, I think, did the best he's ever done.
It was the best performance.
If he would have done this, the first debate, I think he would be ahead right now and really leaving Joe Biden in the dust.
He was calm, collected.
He complimented the moderator.
I don't think he actually believed that she was doing a good job.
You know, she was, she was an old, let's say, 2008 lefty.
You know what I mean?
All of her aggression was all passive.
It was in the topics that they did and the way they were stacked.
Did we really need 45 minutes on COVID when we've already covered that last time?
Plus, there seemed to be the same thing Twitter did with the New York Post story.
She seemed to have with the New York Post story, which was whenever Donald Trump was about to get an answer on what was going on with a laptop, she was there to step in and derail the conversation to something else.
Overall, I did not think she was terrible.
No, I didn't think she was terrible.
She was like a traditional, what we had in, you know, for meaty in 2008.
Yeah, the topics were all tilted in a way that were, that did not play to Donald Trump's strength.
Tilted?
Yeah.
The topics were all Joe Biden's, all Joe Biden and Democratic talking points.
What did it go from COVID to how bad the economy?
I don't even think she did that.
And then it was race.
Those things have to come up in the presidential debate.
No, they do.
They already covered them last time.
They covered them.
Here's the thing.
We went through, which would have been three presidential debates and wound up being two.
Did anyone who doesn't follow the news closely get to hear about the Middle East taking steps?
Nope.
This is supposed to be a foreign policy debate.
There was no foreign policy.
No foreign policy.
The fact that we've had these breakthroughs with Israel and the Middle East, you know, 100% blame goes to the moderators and all of that.
And some blame has to go to Donald Trump for not getting a chance to bring it up.
I don't know how you, he'd be like, oh, well, let me tell you about healthcare.
The Middle East is healthier.
I don't know what he was supposed to do.
I'm like, how do we, I mean, this was a massive thing.
You know, last in 2016, the debates were focused.
Tons of talk was about ISIS and how that was going to be solved.
Well, it was solved.
Does anyone ever get told about that?
I mean, again, solved is a little bit of an overstatement, you know, but I mean, like, we're in a totally different place from where we were.
I would have liked to have seen some of that come up.
Well, they did bring up foreign policy with Kim Jong-un, but that's it.
That was basically.
That was it.
Yeah, right.
I mean, again.
And you know what?
I agree with Donald Trump.
I mean, I've been shouting, how long have I been talking about North Korea?
I've been talking about it since 2000 when we got on the air and we start really understanding North Korea.
By 2005, I'm like, this has to be solved right now.
They don't have nuclear weapons and they're going to gain them and then you won't be able to do anything.
We've been talking about it for decades.
We've also been talking about Israel for decades.
No, no, no.
I know that.
And like, why didn't, you know, just because this was one of the things that's worked out really well, it was no longer a topic.
It's like, you know, I get that North Korea could have been a topic, but what's honestly North Korea?
We saw a different approach from the president than previous presidents.
You know, look, North Korea is North Korea.
I don't think any of it's worked from previous presidents or the current one.
Like, I just.
At least it's not a topic.
But like, there's no developments in that topic.
Right, exactly.
There was nothing really.
It is not a topic.
Yeah.
Much more important is what's going on in Israel and the Middle East right now.
An incredible accomplishment of this administration.
And we go through the entire debate season without it being mentioned.
Think of all the time that has been spent discussing this problem over the past half century.
And we have these developments in nothing.
Look at the lies.
Look at the lies.
Last half century.
It was like 1948.
There you go.
It was a little longer.
It was only 72 years.
I'm stuck in 1998, apparently.
My gosh, what a fool you are.
I thought this was night and day from the first one, though.
I thought the president did a really good job.
Probably the best debate I can ever remember him participating in, going back to 2016 as well.
I thought he was, you know, he was under control.
His temperament was correct.
But he had a good mastery of what was going on.
I think he made his arguments successfully.
He's in a tough spot against the moderator.
And we're going through a really difficult ⁇ everyone in the world knows 2020 is the crappiest year of all time.
When you're president in the middle of that, it's not always easy sledding.
I do think that the COVID thing was the worst section for the president, but I thought he handled it really well.
And it's only because it is just a whipping horse of the left.
It's absolutely not true.
I think the president did a really good job of pointing out, look, when I started doing these things, he was against it.
And what is he offering new?
Listen to Cut 7, where he takes Joe Biden on shutting everything down.
Say over soon.
I say we're learning to live with it.
We have no choice.
We can't lock ourselves up in a basement like Joe does.
He has the ability to lock himself up.
I don't know.
He's obviously made a lot of money someplace, but he has this thing about living in a basement.
People can't do that.
By the way, I, as the president, couldn't do that.
I'd love to put myself in the basement or in a beautiful room in the White House and go away for a year and a half until it disappears.
I can't do that.
And Kirsten, every meeting I had, every meeting I had, and I'd meet a lot of families, including Gold Star families and military families.
Every meeting I had, and I had to meet them.
I had to.
It would be horrible to have canceled everything.
I said, you know, this is dangerous.
And you catch it.
And, you know, I caught it.
I learned a lot.
I learned a lot.
Great doctors, great hospitals.
And now I recovered.
99.9 of young people recover.
99% of people recover.
We have to recover.
We can't close up our nation.
We have to open our school, and we can't close up our nation, or you're not going to have a nation.
I thought he was effective there.
I thought he was really, really effective.
Cut nine, Joe and Trump on shutdowns.
What I would say is I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country.
It's his ineptitude that caused the country to have to shut down in large part.
Why businesses have gone under, why schools are closed, why so many people have lost their living, and why they're concerned.
Those other concerns are real.
That's why he should have been, instead of in a sand trap in his golf course, he should have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats and Republicans about what to do about the acts they were passing for billions of dollars to make sure people had the capacity.
You haven't ruled out more shutdowns.
Well, no, I'm not shutting down the name, but there are, look, you need standards.
The standard is if you have a reproduction rate in a community that's above a certain level, everybody says slow up.
More social distancing.
Do not open bars and do not open gymnasiums.
Do not open until you get this under control, under more control.
But when you do open, give the people the capacity to be able to open and have the capacity to do it safely.
For example, schools.
Schools, they need a lot of money to open.
They need to deal with ventilation systems.
They need to deal with smaller classes, more teachers, more pods.
And he's refused to support that money, or at least up to now.
Let's talk about schools.
President Trump, I think we have to respond, if I might.
Please.
And then I have a follow-up.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Look, all he does is talk about shutdowns, but forget about him.
His Democrat governors, Cuomo and New York.
You look at what's going on in California.
You look at Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Democrats, Democrats all.
They're shut down so tight and they're dying.
They're dying.
And he supports all these people.
All he talks about is shutdowns.
No, we're not going to shut down, and we have to open our schools.
And it's like, as an example, I have a young son.
He also tested positive.
By the time I spoke to the doctor the second time, he was fine.
It just went away.
Young people, I guess it's their immune system.
Let me follow up with you, President Trump.
You've demanded schools open in person and insist they can do it safely.
But just yesterday, Boston became the latest city to move its public school system entirely online after a coronavirus spike.
What is your message to parents who worry that sending their children to school will endanger not only their kids but also their teachers and families?
I want to open the schools.
The transmittal rate to the teachers is very small, but I want to open the schools.
We have to open our country.
We're not going to have a country.
You can't do this.
We can't keep this country closed.
This is a massive country with a massive economy.
People are losing their jobs.
They're committing suicide.
There's depression, alcohol, drugs at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
There's abuse, tremendous abuse.
We have to open our country.
You know, I've said it often.
The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.
That's what's happening.
I think he was really effective here for most people that are looking at the economy.
I think that made sense.
When they went to Joe Biden and asked him, well, what would you do?
He talked about money in the PPP so restaurants could put more plexiglass up.
The Cure Cannot Be Worse 00:03:14
Now, maybe it's because I live in Texas where common sense isn't entirely dead, dot, dot, dot, yet.
But everybody I know that goes to restaurants that have those stupid plexiglass dividers between the booths, we're all like, okay, so COVID is just staying there in the aisle between the booths.
It can't get over the plexiglass or around the plexiglass.
You have to walk in practically in a space suit to be seated.
But once you're seated, you can talk and laugh and hack all you want because the plexiglass is there.
That's the most ridiculous thing.
And everybody knows it.
Everybody knows that's ridiculous.
Yeah, there's this criticism of Trump and Republicans on healthcare where they say, we want to repeal Obamacare.
What are you going to replace it with?
Well, we want to get something great that has cheap health care and it's wonderful and it'll do better.
That's Joe Biden on the coronavirus.
He's just giving, he's not, he has absolutely no plan at all.
And they keep pressing, whenever he's pressed, he just says, well, things like this.
We want people to wear masks, social distancing, plexiglass.
He's obviously got nothing.
I thought the president last night, there's two versions of this argument, right?
You can say, look, coronavirus, people are going crazy over it.
It's silly.
We're Americans, whatever, and kind of blow it off as not a big problem.
Last night I thought he successfully said, look, it's a big problem.
We did our best and we're going forward being smart but tough, right?
You can combine those things and say, we're going to push through this.
We can't shut down this country over it.
It's a big deal, but we're going to deal with it in an intelligent way that allows us to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
And there's a really bright future ahead of us.
He made that argument, I thought, pretty well last night.
I think so too.
And I think he also seemed very, very reasonable the whole time.
You know, he talked about Fauci and said, lucky, we have difference of opinion, but that's good.
Anthony.
I like Anthony.
He's a good guy, Anthony.
He likes hanging out with Anthony, but he was wrong on this.
But I like Anthony.
He was really endearing, I thought, at moments like that.
I really liked him last night.
His tone was so much better than in the first debate.
I hope it was enough.
I mean, we're close to the end of this election, but I thought he did what he had to do last night.
His tone in this election was sincere, well-informed, kind even.
And then his kindness towards Joe on money laundering seemed just a tad trolling.
I just love it.
I feel bad for you.
I really do.
I feel bad for you.
I mean, what happened?
Just tell, I mean, the laptop.
I feel bad.
Maybe Louis should give you the opportunity to explain.
I mean, it was brilliant, brilliant performance last night.
from Donald Trump.
The question is, is it enough?
More in just a second.
And coming up in about 35 minutes, we've got Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
Home Security for 50 Cents 00:05:30
When it comes to home security, the first and foremost thing you need to have on your mind is your own protection.
And that doesn't just mean protection from the burglars, protection from the other guys who are going to lock you into an unnecessary contract and charge you an arm and a leg and put equipment arranged in a way that it's complicated that only they can install and work on it.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like the best idea.
SimplySafe makes it easy and affordable to have the best home security on the market.
The state-of-the-art equipment, round-the-clock monitoring, will make SimplySafe the first name in the business.
For 50 cents a day, you can have the peace of mind knowing that your home and family are safe.
SimplySafe.
You'll get a free security camera when you order yours online at simplysafebeck.com.
You'll get a 60-day risk-free trial with any new system order.
You don't really have anything to lose.
It's simplysafebeck.com.
That's simplysafebeck.com.
10 seconds station id uh we've got uh something coming up uh from the white house Mark Lauder, he's the director of strategic communications for the campaign.
He's going to give us his debate reaction.
But this is, this is, I mean, when will this end?
The Trump campaign press secretary, Hogan Gidley, he's been suspended on Twitter.
Now, why?
Because he tweeted about receiving an envelope in the mail that was addressed to someone else by the name of Daniel.
He wrote, got my, oh, wait, no, I got Daniel's ballot in the mail?
Who's Daniel?
Apparently a former tenant who hasn't lived in the unit for eight years.
But yeah, I'm sure the mainstream media is correct.
Unsolicited vote by mail is totally safe.
This, he was banned from Twitter yesterday for this.
What?
Is that not insane?
What is going on?
This is getting worse and worse.
This is becoming China.
It's absolutely becoming the Chinese style press.
I mean, what's next?
You just, are you going to give us points for, you know, being for saying the right things and tweeting the right things?
I mean, that's, that's the only thing that's left.
There's no solution to this, is there?
Like, we can all say, oh, well, we want to, you know, break down these companies.
I mean, there's, there's things you can do with the margins, but I mean, the only way you actually would solve a problem like this is to not be dependent on these companies at all.
And that doesn't mean that they go away.
That means that we'd have to change our lives in a way that would be entirely positive.
But yes, we'd have to change our lives completely.
The way that we depend on these services for all of our information is totally unhealthy.
And this is just jamming it into our face a lot faster than we're realizing it.
We have the story on this with the strategic communications director, Mark Lauder, coming up in just a second after the bottom of the hour.
And then we are also going to talk to Bill O'Reilly in about 35 minutes from now.
We have Gavin McGinnis on because the Poor Boys?
The Poor Boy.
The guy who started the Poor Boys?
It's a Proud Boys.
Now, did he say the Poor Boys or the Beach Boys?
I know he started something with the boys.
I can't remember which one it was.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you, I mean, Biden, if you only watched the first half hour of that thing, you might have thought, you know, Biden was okay.
You know, he was the ones with God.
Yeah, he really was slipping.
He does not have an hour and a half in him.
The guy of the United States, the guy was in his basement resting for the last five days.
Donald Trump's been the president and traveling doing rallies, and that was his performance.
And Joe Biden, towards the end, it was having a hard time remembering details, stringing sentences together.
I mean, it was not good.
Not good for the president of the United States.
This is the Glenn Best.
It's not President.
Just so you know.
Well, I mean, you know, it's a potential president.
Thank you very much for that.
Oh, you're such a pain.
I wish Relief Factor would sometimes make Stu just go away.
All my pain.
So does Stu.
I don't know who has it worse.
Relief Factor.
It's not a drug developed by doctors.
And 70% of the people who try it go on to order more because it gets you out of pain.
Three years ago before I was taking this, I probably would not be in today because of the long schedule that I had yesterday.
I got about four hours of sleep.
That would have put me down.
I take Relief Factor now every single day.
In fact, I haven't taken, here's my Relief Factor packet right here.
And I haven't taken it yet for breakfast.
I just ate breakfast, but I was running late.
Relief Factor.
I take it three times a day.
And I'm telling you, I have my life back.

There was somebody else in the Trump campaign, the Trump campaign press secretary, had Twitter suspended over a tweet.
Wait until you hear this story in case you don't know it.
It's coming up in just a second.
Also, tomorrow, this is really important, and we just have not had time to really talk about it.
And I want to spend some time showing you some of the amazing things that Mercury One is about to do starting tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night, 8 p.m. Eastern, we are doing an online virtual event that we want you to see, and we want you to watch it with your family.
It is so uplifting, so positive, and shows actual things being done to help our country and to help each other.
We're going to go into the Nazarene Fund, but I think the most important thing that we are going to announce tomorrow is the American Journey Center.
And this is a physical space.
It's about 20,000 square feet.
Really cool.
Yeah, right across the brickyard here on the old Paramount movie lot.
And so just right across from the brickyard of the front entrance of Mercury Studios is the American Journey Center.
We have spent over a year planning and building this place.
And it has classrooms in it.
It has a museum.
It has a vault and another vault in the side of the mountain that has 115,000 founding documents.
And it's an opportunity for people of all ages now to come in and actually see, do research, have access.
We're putting many of these documents online.
Eventually, they'll all go in line.
So you'll be able to do research and word search.
And we're going to announce tomorrow classes, virtual classes for you, your family, or anyone of any age.
They will be free, virtual free classes, and it's like Prager University, except it's long form.
And our first one we will announce tomorrow, and it will be a three-day class.
And you can take it on your own time, or you can come here in person.
Also, we're asking you to get involved to help us take the 1619 project apart.
Help us teach children and teach families and parents the truth about America.
And tomorrow we're going to be auctioning off some really, really amazing things.
And I'll talk about them coming up in just a minute.
But tomorrow night, 8 p.m., you'll find it on my Facebook page, Blaze TV.
You'll find it at mercury1.org and all of our social media.
It will be live tomorrow from the American Journey Center.
All right, let me go to Mark Lauder.
Mark Lauder on Raycon and Trump 00:12:10
He's the director of strategic communications, so the campaign for Donald Trump.
Mark, how are you?
I'm doing well, Glenn.
How are you?
Good.
How are you feeling about how things went last night?
Really well.
Thought the president did a great job not only making his own case with his record and his plans for the future, but he really prosecuted the case against Joe Biden and basically laid it out in one sound bite.
You know, you've been in Washington, D.C. for 47 years.
You talk and talk and talk, but you didn't do anything.
And I think that's really one of the reasons why this president was elected because people were tired of politicians who just talk.
They wanted someone to actually do something.
When Joe Biden looked into the camera and said, listen, folks, I know that there might be an empty chair at your table.
First of all, I felt like I was in a performance of Les Miserables.
But he starts in on this, and Donald Trump brilliantly immediately turns the table because he knows what most Americans are thinking.
Most Americans hate that kind of stuff.
You know, I talked to little Susie Muckenfutch, who's lost her eyes in a baseball game, you know, and they go into these.
I got a letter and I feel this way and all that crap.
And everybody knows it's political.
Donald Trump came out and said, this is why I ran, because you are a politician and everyone knows that doesn't mean anything.
I thought he, I thought he, for the president of the United States to be able to make himself look like an outsider, it was a remarkable skill and talent that he exhibited last night.
You know, you're absolutely right.
And Joe Biden didn't have an answer for that.
I mean, Joe Biden liked to talk about all these plans.
And I mean, the funny thing is, is at one point, he even blamed his inaction on Republicans in Congress forgetting the fact that for the first two years of the Obama-Biden administration, they had a supermajority.
They had a 60-vote threshold in the Senate.
They had the House of Representatives.
They could have done anything they wanted, and they still didn't get anything done.
When Donald Trump, I was cheering, but when Donald Trump turned to him and said, who built the cages, Joe?
Who built the cages?
Who built the cages?
He never answered that question, even though it was asked over and over again.
He never answered that.
But I think for a lot of Americans, that's the first time they may have ever heard that story.
Yeah, that was one of the few times that Joe Biden didn't lie last night because he just didn't answer because he couldn't answer because he knows that they built the cages.
And yet, once again, over and over, we got so much misinformation and just outright lies from Joe Biden, whether it was his position on fracking, whether it was the fact that Obamacare didn't cost people their health insurance or their doctors, which we know was the lie of the year according to Politico back in, you know, back a few years ago.
No, I had the best health care that New York State had.
The best health care.
I had it for all of my company, all of my employees.
I lost it within six months because the company, every other company could no longer afford it.
They canceled and the Blue Cross Blue Shield shut that line down entirely.
Don't talk to me about we didn't lose our health care.
Many of us lost our health care.
Right.
And we know that to be true.
And so to hear him say that and then to say, well, under his plan, you know, that won't happen.
Well, we're not going to fall for those lies again, Joe.
And so you saw it over and over again that the president just kept prosecuting that case.
And really, I think that underlying theme was, you know, what you did in 47 years was nothing.
And the few things you did do was bad.
And so I thought it was a very powerful moment.
And also at the end, I mean, it kind of got lost at the end of the debate.
But when Joe Biden actually said he wants to eliminate the oil industry, I mean, my goodness.
Yeah.
He not only said that he was going to eliminate the oil industry, but he hung himself when he said, I'm not going to ban fracking.
I'm only going to ban it on federal land.
Anyone who knows anything about fracking and oil reserves knows that, what is it, 60% of the land out west is all federal land.
That is a basic massive, massive step of ending oil and fracking gas.
Massive step.
And the thing that really will start to connect, and I think we'll see that here over the next 11 days, is, you know, what does that mean for you?
Well, it means higher gas prices until, you know, you have to start running your car off nine volts.
But it also means higher energy prices to heat and cool your home.
It's going to eliminate millions of jobs.
And the president rightfully called it out going, you know, well, I hope you're listening, Pennsylvania and Ohio and Michigan and Texas and other places where the energy sector is one of the lifebloods of these economies.
And Joe Biden is basically saying, well, we'll find a new job for you.
And like he said earlier in the campaign, maybe they can learn to code.
Let me ask you.
And I don't even know how to ask this because it'll be taken out of context and it'll seem mean, but it's not.
Joe Biden is like my grandfather was when we had to take the keys away from him with the car.
And I think every family has gone through that with a grandparent where you're like, grandpa, you just can't drive anymore.
And they think that they're fully capable.
Joe Biden, and I watched the clock.
34 minutes into that, he was winded, tired, and started to become confused.
34 minutes a day after three days of sleeping it off in his basement and not doing anything.
He's winded and starts to get confused 34 minutes in.
A president cannot have that little stamina.
Well, and you can't have a president, you know, like Joe Biden looking at his watch last night, hoping it's over.
Maybe he's, you know, counting down the minutes until his campaign can call a lid and he can go back to the basement.
You know, that's the one thing.
And I often joke about it on the campaign trail, but obviously I was on the 16 campaign and I was in the White House for the first year of the administration.
President Trump's older than me by a couple of decades.
He's wearing me out.
I don't know how people can keep up with this man.
And then yet you see on the other side, and I saw someone post this on Twitter, so I'll give them credit.
I just can't remember who.
It's like, you locked yourself in the basement for four days to prepare and that's what you did, Joe?
I mean, that's what four days of preparation got you?
Is there any doubt in your mind that Joe Biden and the left will impose lockdowns on this country and impose mask wearing, et cetera, et cetera?
I think there's zero question about that.
And, you know, Joe Biden couldn't even answer that question.
I mean, he's talked about locking it down again.
He's talked about mask mandates.
I mean, he's talked about, you know, will he mandate the vaccine once he's happy that it's been approved?
Because obviously he doesn't trust anything and they're trying to politicize even a vaccine.
Where does it stop with Joe Biden?
And I think so much of America, and the president was right last night when he said this, is that we can be open.
We can get back to work and school, protect those who are most vulnerable, protect ourselves.
We've got to do both.
It's not either or.
And that's the difference between President Trump, who wants to get this country healthy again and open again, and Joe Biden, who just wants to shut it all down.
Mark Lauder, Director of Strategic Communications for the Trump campaign.
Last question is on Hogan Gidley's Twitter account.
It was suspended over a tweet where he showed a picture of a ballot that came out to him, delivered to him, and he said, oh my, wait, no, it's Daniel's mail that I just received in the mail, Daniel's ballot that I just received in the mail.
Who's Daniel?
Apparently a former tenant who hasn't lived in the unit for eight years.
But yeah, I'm sure mainstream media is correct.
Unsolicited vote by mail is totally safe.
Why was he suspended?
And does the campaign have a response?
Well, I mean, it's just part and parcel of what we've seen with social media and the mainstream media ignoring the Hunter Biden and Biden family scandals or any questions about the integrity of these mail-in voting schemes where we're seeing piles of ballots sent to the wrong place to people who've long since been gone, either moved or even passed away.
They don't want any narrative that doesn't fit with what they want in supporting Joe Biden.
So they'll censor you and block you.
I mean, they also blocked the Trump campaign's main Twitter account, as well as Kaylee McEnany, the White House press secretary's private or personal Twitter account, just because they had the audacity to share a story that was not flattering to Joe Biden from one of the oldest newspapers in the country.
I don't think this election could be more clear.
And I've always hated this.
It's the most important election of our lifetime.
But I believe this to be the most important election of the Republic's lifetime since 1860.
And I hope people are paying attention.
Thank you very much, Mark.
I appreciate it.

Raycon is our sponsor.
Wireless earbuds from Raycon.
Now, I'm sure you can pay a ton of money for Apple AirPods, like I did.
And then you can find out how uncomfortable they are.
And then you can find out how they're snagged by your kids.
And then one of them just isn't around anymore.
I don't know what I, Dad, you had it last.
Oh, did I?
Or you could buy Raycon, wireless earbuds.
In fact, you could buy two of them for the, I mean, four of them, you know, one for each ear.
You could buy two sets of Raycon or one set of the Apple AirPods.
So may I recommend you buy two because your kids are going to take one and then lose them and then you'll have your pair.
Okay?
I'm just saying.
Half the money, a product that is much better, six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, more compact design that gives you a nice noise isolating fit.
It is really, it's the best AirPods or, you know, earbuds that you can find, especially for the price.

Thank you so much for listening.
Tomorrow, I don't want you to forget, we just haven't had any time to really talk about this.

Car Shield Savings & Silent Auction 00:06:11
It'll be at mercury1.org and m1 next chapter.
Can you see if it's .com or .org?
M1 next chapter.
I think it's but go there for all the details.
We have a silent auction that is going on right now, and I want to show you some of the things that you can get.
You can get a copy, an 1836 copy of the original first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which is so important because it puts the history books, turns it on its head.
You ever want somebody to be able to argue that the founders did know what all men are created equal meant?
Get the engraving from the 1836 engraving of the Declaration of Independence, the first draft where Thomas Jefferson has a full paragraph against slavery.
Laze it all out.
It's amazing.
It's m1 nextchapter.com.
All kinds of stuff that you can have in your own personal archives.
Plus, three of my paintings, if you've ever wanted one of those, a Winston Churchill, an Abraham Lincoln, and actually the other Abraham Lincoln sitting behind me is the original oil painting for the restoring the covenant from Gettysburg, which we never did.
You can get that original painting as well.

All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Both Stu and I feed our dog.
I don't even know what he feeds him for dog food, but we put a supplement on our dog's food and they love it.
Yeah, I have two dogs and one dog who's older will eat this just, you know, is so excited to eat rough greens.
And then he has the green beard afterward.
My dog Uno, I'm telling you, because he's a huge German shepherd, I'm afraid he's going to kill one of the grandchildren with his tail.
He runs to the bowl and his tail is going.
It's really strong.
But Uno loves it and I've seen a huge difference in his health, a huge difference in his health.
I want you to try it now yourself.
Rough Greens.
I mean, not you, but, you know, put it on the dog food.
Try it for your dog.
You can try it yourself too if you want.
I just, I don't know why you're doing it.
I think I could use a little rough greens right now.
I think I could.
You know, after a long night last night.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
It's Friday.
And I thought I'd have my dear old friend, Bill O'Reilly on to talk about, oh, I don't know, if he noticed anything was going on.
Maybe last night or maybe during the whole week, Bill O'Reilly takes on last night's debate and the developments in the race for the White House in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Yes, that's right.
Bill is right now.
He's so excited.
He's chomping in the pit.
He's almost wetting himself.
He's like, oh, I can't wait to talk and tell you.
I think that's true.
Nah, he's probably in a bad mood.
I don't know.
I think he's going to be very optimistic about our future.
That's the Bill O'Reilly I know.

I have two old trucks out of warranty, and I want to drive them until the doors fall off, but you can't do that now because the chips fall off first, all of the little computer chips, and they're really expensive.
Once they go, you're not going to Pet Boys to get that.
You can't change that yourself.
So you go in and you either pay the price or you have to buy a new car.
Well, I had a $6,000 repair for a stupid chip.
It happened to be covered by Car Shield.
Okay.
They took care of all of it.
I didn't have to write a check to anybody.
I walk in.
They said, yeah, it was $6,000.
And I'm like, whoa, wait, hold it.
I don't want to pay.
And he's like, don't worry about it.
Car Shield had it covered for you.
So they paid for everything.

Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
Hello, Bill.
How are you?
Just call me Superfly.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
How are things?
Busy like you.
You know, we're moguls.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
No, I know.
I know.
And you got another book out.
What a surprise.
Yeah, I know.
He's actually got Killing Crazy Horse.
And maybe, maybe I'll give you a couple of minutes to mention your new book, Killing Crazy Horse, which has been a New York Times bestseller now for God knows how long.
And you can get it wherever books are sold.
I might allow you to say that a little later.
Very kind of you, Beck, but that's the, you know, that's your general disposition.
Very generous, very kind.
Yeah, so you seem to be kind of in a happy mood.
Tell me about what happened with Donald Trump last night, what your take is, and was it enough?
And is it soon enough?
Well, Trump won the debate.
He was more commanding, and he had a very self-assured, fact-based presentation primarily.
There wasn't a lot of immature nonsense that we saw in the first debate.
Biden held his own, though.
And Biden was much better than he has been in recent memory in the sense that he was able to get his opinion across and you knew what he was talking about.
He faltered at the end when he got tired.
You could see he was looking at his watch.
You know, he's going, listen, do I get milk or not?
I haven't been up this late since 1946.
It was one of those things.
And you know, you know, when you get tired, it's late.
You get crap.
So Biden faltered a little bit at the end, but he held his own.
But let's talk about Trump because it was all about him last night in the sense that if he had not performed well, he would have lost the election.
So he's put himself back into play in the sense that I don't believe any of this.
There aren't any undecided voters.
I'll believe any of that.
He also, I think, made gains among African Americans because that was his strongest suit last night.
It was good.
You know, he said, look, this is what I've done.
And then Biden does what Biden always does.
Well, I'm going to do that.
And, you know, and for eight years, Biden and Obama didn't do a damn thing.
And 47 years, 47 in the Senate.
That's a good thing, though.
Look, Biden and Obama had an opportunity to reshape the debate in this country on race, and they did not do it.
So they didn't elevate.
They didn't say, look, we've got a problem here because there's a terrible education system in the poor neighborhoods.
It's impacting on the children negatively, and they're growing up and they're committing more crimes proportionally than whites.
That's what it's all about.
I don't care what you're saying.
Bill, Bill, let me remind you what Joe Biden said.
They had a Republican Congress.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So there wasn't even the debate.
And I know this because I, on more than one occasion, spoke to the president off the record about this because I was involved with the Brothers Keeper program.
We can talk about that a little later on if you want.
But I'm telling you the exact truth that they weren't able to get the discussion into the public arena.
And I don't even know how hard they tried.
So he comes on, and of course, with his usual bomb-ass, Donald Trump, the greatest president for blacks is Abraham Lincoln.
I don't know if you really need that.
Maybe you say since Martin Van Buren, you know, you probably want to leave Lincoln out of it.
However, he doesn't.
But then he goes on to list an impressive array of accomplishments that help African Americans.
So he may have cleaved some votes off there.
I mean, I was watching it with Ice Cube, and we were both impressed.
That's not true.
No, you weren't with Ice Cube because I know you guys hang out all the time.
I invited him, but I don't know where he was last night, and I really don't want to know.
Okay.
So, Bill, what was the big takeaway last night?
Was it that he's only banning fracking on federal land?
Oh, boy, that what a disaster that was.
And I am going to get rid of fossil fuels and oil by 2035.
So we've got 14 years.
At the end, when he started in on that, I expected him to say, and flush toilets are, forget it.
You've got to go outside again.
You know, it was really that could very well hurt him in Pennsylvania and Ohio and Texas.
You know, he's going to win Texas anyway.
Trump will.
be careful look back i'm telling you back you want to put a little no i i would not bet but i wouldn't bet i wouldn't bet either way on this uh election i i I mean, I have no idea what's going on, but I will tell you.
I just talked to somebody.
In fact, let me read the email that I got last night, and it was very, very positive.
Glenn had extensive briefing on inside polling numbers from the field, extremely different from what most of the national media is showing.
Based on the numbers right now, Trump is doing very good in the battleground states.
Interestingly, numbers currently show Texas is more of a problem than several of the battleground states.
Democrats are crushing Republicans in the urban and suburban areas, but it looks like the rural areas are outperforming, which may make the difference in Texas.
All right.
I mean, I heard that Cruz was going to lose last time and that Beto O'Rourke was going to be the nominal.
Look, you know.
I know.
I know, but Cruz did lose.
Cruz won by how many?
Five points?
Two points.
I mean, six points?
I believe it was.
I'm going to put everybody to rest.
I'm calling Texas for Trump now.
So just put it on that little board.
Now we're going to be banned by Twitter and Facebook.
Google's going to send their police squad out.
But, you know, it is going to be a close election.
I do believe that.
I think that last night in the debate, Trump helped himself more than Biden did.
And that's always how you calibrate a winner.
Always in a debate.
Who helped themselves more?
Trump did.
Because he didn't come across as Ophish.
Word of the day, Ophish.
O-A-F-I-S-H.
I eat O-Fish all the time.
You don't have to speak.
You need a tutor, and I will pick it up.
So, Bill, was it enough in time?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Look, we're living in a warp speed age.
And between now and Election Day, you're going to have a lot more how much money did Biden take from Ukraine.
I mean, that story isn't going away.
And I caution everybody on this story.
I believe myself that Joe Biden is an old-time pal that enriched his family because of his public service.
That's what I believe.
And it is entirely possible that he enriched himself in the process.
Okay, I always think about Gerald Ford, a guy from Grand Rapids, Michigan, without a penny, and he retires to Palm Springs and living in a lavish mansion.
How did that happen?
Anyway, I believe that story, but I caution people about the details of it.
Because there's a lot of stuff we haven't nailed down yet, so it don't be running around.
But that thing is in play.
And, you know, people, they hear things.
If there is more that comes forth that shows Biden as vice president and senator and senator enriched himself and his family, that's going to be huge.
So that's there.
And Trump was pretty good last night getting that out, even though the debate moderator, who I thought did a pretty good job, Ms. Welker, every time he tried to do it, she jumped in and diverted the question away.
It was like Leslie Stahl when you saw the 60 Minutes interview, which I think everybody should watch the whole thing, not the edited version.
I'm sorry.
You know, Trump looked at her and he goes, are you kidding me?
This is the biggest story, political story.
And she goes, and it hasn't verified.
We haven't verified it.
And I'm saying to myself, for two and a half years, CBS News pounded the guy in the Russian collusion.
It was not one single thing verified.
And every night you did it.
And now you won't even discuss this Biden thing with Trump?
I'm on.
I mean, Americans, some of them are stupid back, but most of them aren't stupid.
They get it.
They see the fixes in.
They're suspicious of Joe Biden.
I mean, the good thing about Trump is that we know everything about Trump.
All right?
We know it.
If you read the United States of Trump, you know him.
You're not going to be surprised in the next nine days.
Biden, you might be.
I think there's a couple of things here on this.
I thought Donald Trump did a great job last night going, they spent $46 million in three and three-quarters years trying to discredit me, trying to dig up anything on me, the family, our business, et cetera.
They got nothing.
They got nothing.
He said, give me a million bucks.
I think I can find a lot on this guy.
Listen, he made some excellent points, Donald Trump did.
But you raise the question, is it enough?
And it isn't enough for the people who hate him.
And there was one other thing, and he left a couple of opportunities on, you know, as I said last night.
I just can't believe he didn't bring up, when they would talk on the board or look at Biden and say, you want to explain to me why the American taxpayers should pay all the health care costs for undocumented aliens?
That's a knockout blow.
So rather than being on the defense, you bring stuff like that.
I kept waiting for it.
It never happened.
And on the COVID, which if Trump loses, it'll be because of COVID.
That's why.
All he had to do was look into the camera and say, you know, in hindsight, I wish I had been more pro-mask.
I wish I had encouraged that a little bit more than I did.
But we didn't know we were getting conflicted information.
And the major things that I did saved a lot of lives.
But he'll never make that kind of a concession.
But anyway, going forward, which I think everybody wants to do now, Trump has a real chance to win.
And the polls are bogus.
We know that.
The polls I'm watching are Rasmussen and Trafalgar, both of which were right last time, four years ago.
And they both show him, you know, not in a great position, but not in a dire position.
He could win.
All right.
We'll continue with Bill O'Reilly.
I want to get his take on the media and the censorship that's been going on and what part of the Biden things really is still out in question.
We'll get to that with Bill O'Reilly coming up in just a second.
Don't forget his new book, Killing Crazy Horse.
Great, great book.

Causes like Planned Parenthood, anti-Second Amendment gun lobbies.
No, thank you.
I don't want any of my hard-earned money going to those things, and so I have a choice.
I don't believe in shutting them down or taking away their right.
I just believe in taking away my money from their bank account.

Trump's Smoking Gun Against Biden 00:15:26
Most of America really doesn't even understand the story that Donald Trump was nailing him with.
And Joe Biden has been allowed by the press to get away with it.
Do you think it spoke to the average person who doesn't pay attention to politics?
Was there any impact on Biden being absolutely corrupt?
Somewhat.
Somewhat.
If you don't follow the news, and most voters do not, see, that's what people who listen to talk radio listen to me and you every day and then watch us on TV.
They don't understand that because in their universe, they're seeking information.
They're trying to be informed.
But most voters do not do that.
So they hear drips and drabs.
They talk about it with their friends and family.
They may watch once in a while a news program on television, but they're not regular consumers of the news.
They don't know the pattern of behavior of Joe Biden.
So last night, Donald Trump was pretty good because he is so bombastic in getting people's attention that Biden's corrupt by saying, well, why don't you explain this to us, Joe?
Why don't you explain it right now?
The problem was that the NBC moderator, Kristen Welker, was told, as was Leslie Stahl, not to get into this.
How do you know that?
Ah, Beck, what an excellent question.
Earlier this week, I think it was on Monday, there was a conference call coming out of K Street in Washington by the Democratic organization, the Bonner Group, that has paid a lot of money to advise the Democratic Party on a number of issues.
The call basically centered on we are going to reply to all of this Biden, Hunter-Biden stuff by saying it's an unverified story.
That went out to everybody in email.
This is what they do almost every day.
All right.
They have a morning meeting and they come up with the theme of the day.
The theme of the day on Monday was all of Biden's stuff is unverified.
That goes into the headquarters of NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, all of them.
All right.
New York Times, Washington Post.
They all get it.
Now, the Republicans do something like that on a much lower and lesser level.
So the word went out that this story is bogus, and you heard it last night.
Biden himself said it.
Okay, stand by.
More on this in just a minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
So if you're a fan of sleek, if durability turns your dials up to 11, if state-of-the-art is the way to your heart, and especially really good steaks and ribs, and then let me introduce you to RecTech.
RecTech is what your dad's grill always wanted to be when it grew up.
It's amazing smart grill technology, heavy, stainless steel.
It is a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
So if you're looking for the best grill on the market, I want you to go and AB compare.
Now, RecTech is not sold on the open market, sold on the internet.
And the reason why they do that is because they cut out the middleman and then pour all of that money into the grill.
So you're getting a much better grill than you can buy at Home Depot or wherever you buy your grills because they don't have a middleman.
But I want you to go online and AB them.
When you get a RekTech, you will see the difference.
Best, the best on the market.

Welcome to it.
We are just close to a week away from the election, and Bill O'Reilly is on with us on this beautiful, beautiful Friday.
He's here to be a little black raincloud.
How you doing, Bill?
Seriously.
You know, Beck, here I am chocked full of information, and you are just diverting me.
Let me get back to the narrative that we had.
Wow.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
So the word went out to all of the press that is allied with the Democratic Party.
We're going to say that everything is unverified, which is why you heard it 50,000 times on television news.
Then it was updated right before the debate for Putin did this.
Putin, he sent out all this misinformation.
The Russians did it again, and they're interfering in our election, and they're the ones that are responsible for all of these accusations against Hunter and Joe Biden.
And Joe Biden actually said it.
He said it during the debate.
Yep.
That Rudy Giuliani was used by the Russians, and that's why this is a bunch of bull.
Okay.
So here's where we are on this.
I believe that, as I said at the beginning of the interview, that Joe Biden used his position in the federal government to enrich his family.
I don't know whether that went over to himself and neither does anyone else.
Well, if so, President Trump did not have a smoking gun last night to drop on.
He didn't have a smoking gun, but yesterday a lot of news came out and a lot of documents were released.
And you had the CEO of his of his son's company saying, look, I only dealt with Joe Biden on these financial issues.
And he is the big guy in that memo where it says that that he's the big guy.
But now we have another executive involved with that saying Biden didn't do anything.
What we don't know, and I caution everybody because it's parallel to the Russian collusion nonsense, which I cautioned everybody on as well.
You don't know whether money changed hands.
Certainly they wanted it to.
They were carving out a piece for the big guy.
That's in the emails.
So is it so?
Wait, is it not enough that Joe Biden's brother, without any contract experience, got the contracts to build new homes in Iraq?
That there was $3.5 million from a dirty, mob-written oligarch and his wife in Moscow, and the billion and a half dollars that went to Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca.
Is that not enough?
Is that cool?
Not for the Trump haters.
That won't override the hatred they have for the president because it's all about Hunter.
So if you want to nail Joe Biden, you've got to have more.
Now, there was an intriguing thing that Trump said.
He said that Biden received more than $900,000 from a concern attached to the University of Pennsylvania, UPenn, and the money the concern paid him came from China.
All right.
Now, that was the first I ever heard of that.
I've never heard of that before.
Now, I'm looking into it, but these things are very, very hard to nail down.
I assume that Biden's got the $900K on his tax return.
And he did some kind of speech or consulting or whatever for that money.
But it's not a slam dunk that Joe Biden himself got cash.
And that's what would be needed to knock him out.
All right?
Well, he also said last night that none of his money.
Yeah, but he also.
He knows, everybody knows that he used his position to enrich his family.
But that's not enough for the Trump haters.
And here's the example.
Your pal, Jake Tapper, my pal, all right?
Yeah.
Was almost histrionic on the air last night saying, how dare they insinuate Joe Biden's corruption?
How dare they can't possibly do this?
I've told you, I have told you for years, that guy is a political operative, Tapper.
He's not a journalist.
All right?
And he led the charge.
How dare you insinuate the former vice president took money?
So I don't know whether Biden took money for himself or not.
I do know, as President Trump pointed out, but not in a bombastic way, that Biden, like Gerald Ford, has two lavish houses, maybe three.
All right.
He has never held a job in the private sector.
He wrote a book, but it wasn't a big book like Killing Crazy Horse.
It was all right.
It's not a house buying book.
No, where did he get the money?
Where did all that come from?
He lives very large.
Where did it come from?
Okay, so I don't know.
But I caution everybody, if you think that Biden's going to be knocked out by Hunter Biden's situation.
No, I don't think that.
No, I agree with that.
I don't think so.
But could I, this is a Glenn Beck theory.
There's no fact behind this.
I just would like your opinion on doesn't this play to the left's advantage in some ways if indeed this because this scandal won't go away.
Even if Joe Biden wins, it's not going to go away.
And if there is that smoking gun, the left will push to clean this up and he can't be president and force him out to be able to get Kamala in.
Kamala.
No, I don't think that's in play.
Number one, if Biden wins, that's it, because the Justice Department, you know, barring all those guys are going, and then he'll appoint somebody who's not going to do Jack.
So it'll be on the press to investigate, and the press won't.
So there you go.
If Biden, he wins, he's in the clear.
Number two, the far left that controls a lot of what the Democrats do would love to have Kamala as president.
But they got to play the game.
And it's not a hard game to play, Beck.
Joe Biden is not going to stand up to these people ever.
Whatever they want to do, he'll say, okay, you know, and if they win the House and the Senate, the Democrats, oh, my God, this country is really going to be damaged, really going to be hurt, because they're going to come in with all kinds of things that you have never seen.
Second Amendment things, First Amendment things, stacking the Supreme Court, everything.
And we're going to deal with it for two years until the American people wake up.
I just say to my audience, this is why this is the most important election.
It's not about Trump versus Biden.
No.
It's about if you love your country, you're going to see it evaporate in two years because Biden is going to sit there and do whatever he's told to do.
Bill O'Reilly, because I am such a good man and so generous with my time and my talent, and I want to help a friend sell a couple of books.
You've got this killing crazy horse.
Why are you for the killing of animals?
So it's the Merciless Indian Wars in America.
And the people that you hired to read your books, Beck, they should have told you about the subtitle.
I did.
The subtitle is I Gas My Horses in the Stall?
I don't want to.
Merciless Indian Wars in America.
So the book has gotten off to a tremendous start, more than 300,000 copies sold.
It actually moved up.
We debuted at number two on the New York Times list.
Should have been number one, but I don't think they approve of me.
I agree with that.
And then it went back to, over the weeks, to seven, but now it's back up to four outselling Woodward's book.
So word of mouth on Killing Crazy Horse is tremendous.
If you go to Amazon.com, 93% of the reviews by the folks, not the pinheads, the folks, the real people who read the book, because it says on top of the review, verified purchase.
93% say it's an excellent book.
I'm so happy with that, I can't tell you.
And it's basically from 1813 to 1900, 77 years of nonstop warfare between Washington and the Native American tribes.
What really happened?
Who these people were, Cochise, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, who they really were as human beings, and why they were involved in this intense, brutal conflict with Andrew Jackson and U.S. Grant and Martin Van Buren and all of the rest.
Okay?
So my publisher, and this is the ninth killing book, Beck, as you know, the Killing Series is the most successful nonfiction book series in history.
Pardon the fun.
All right.
My publisher has been with me through nine says Killing Crazy Horse is the best of the bunch.
Well, anytime you tell the story of Martin Van Buren, you know you have yourself a classic.
Excellent haircut on Martin.
Punch that right up.
You know, you have an affinity for Native American history.
I do.
And especially Crazy Horse.
Yeah, and Crazy Horse is a brilliant military tactician.
Yes.
So most people don't understand that he wasn't a chief.
Crazy Horse: Minister of War 00:02:48
Crazy Horse wasn't the chief of the Ogalisio.
He was the minister of war.
They actually had the minister of war.
And Sitting Bull was the chief.
But like Dwight Eisenhower in World War II, who was the supreme commander of the Allied forces, Eisenhower never fought in a battle in his whole life.
And of course, you know that when you read Killing Patton.
So Sitting Bull never fought in a battle.
He was considered too important to the tribe, and he oversaw it.
Crazy Horse won battle after battle after battle after battle against the U.S. Army.
They couldn't beat him.
All right.
So U.S. Grant, whose brother made a fortune off his presidency, that's exactly what happens to Joe Biden.
U.S. Grant.
I'm not going to bore you with it, but believe me, this is not something new that Biden's involved with.
So anyway, U.S. Grant said, well, who's nutty enough to beat Crazy Horse?
Who can get him?
And there comes George Custer, a hero at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Young guy, totally insane, wears a suede jacket with a red cravat, long flowing blonde hair, and here he comes.
They send him out to bring in Crazy Horse, to kill him and annihilate the threat from the Sioux, who were running wild after the U.S. government violated the Treaty of the Black Hills.
The Black Hills were the Sioux's ancestral grounds.
And the battle at the Little Bighorn that everybody's heard about, nobody really knows what happened.
And here's the twist that we brought to Killing Crazy Horse.
There is no reportage on the Little Bighorn because all the whites and their Indian scouts and the journalists that travel with Custer were wiped out, killed.
So nobody could give you a portrayal of what actually happened in the fight except the Sioux because they passed it down by oral history.
There were guys in every Native American tribe.
All they did back, it's kind of like you, all they did was told the audience what was happening in their tribe.
They were oral historians.
And then decades later, when they assimilated, they wrote the stuff down.
We got the Sioux reportage of the Custer fight.
And I don't think anybody's ever done that.
And we put you right on the battlefield exactly step by step, minute by minute, what happens there.
It's unbelievably harrowing.
Killing Crazy Horse 00:15:35
Gosh, he's still talking.
All right.
You got to read it back.
I will.
You got to get going.
I will.
I will.
Bill O'Reilly.
The name of the book is Killing Crazy Horse.
It's available everywhere.
Bill, thank you for your friendship.
Thank you for being on today.
What?
What did he just say?
I think he was cussing me out there at the end.
I don't know what he even said.
Thank you very much.
Let me tell you about RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

Welcome to the program.
It is Friday.
Tomorrow, I am going to be at the new American Journey Center.
It is an incredible complex right here at the old Paramount movie lot where we have built classrooms, a small museum, an enormous vault that will take a tornado category five head on and still be standing.
It's an amazing place where we're going to start really teaching history.
People have asked me for a long time, you know, how can we get these documents?
How can we have history taught?
Can you guys do classes?
Well, we've been doing classes for the last, what, four or five years, kind of as a test in the summer with just college-age kids.
Well, that is changing, and we're announcing it tomorrow, and you want to be a part of it.
It is Getting America Back to Work tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Eastern on my Facebook page, YouTube page at mercury1.org.
Also at Blaze.com.
A special you and your family want to see.
Want to learn history?
Tomorrow night, 8 p.m. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
It's Friday.
We have the co-founder of Vice Media, the founder of Censored TV, and a very, very funny and intelligent man that is, we found out last night there, apparently there's a new name, the founder of the Poor Boys, Gavin McGinnis.
We have him in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Wow.
I always thought that they were called the Proud Boys, but apparently Joe Biden said last night they're the poor boys.
So I don't know what happened.
Gavin's coming up in a second.
First, I want to talk to you about My Pillow.
I have to tell you that the pillow is great.
The sheets are the best.
Are the best.
They have Gaza or Giza Gaza.
It's the bomb.
Giza Dream sheets.
These are made from Giza Egyptian cotton, the world's best, and they get softer every time you sleep on them, softer every time you wash them.
And they're the best sheets that you can get.
I mean, especially for the money, but I would buy these over really, I don't even know what really expensive sheets are, but I know they get really, I know they've, I've seen them to where you're like, okay, nope, I'm not willing to pay that for a sheet.
You can get two for one, two for one low price now on the Giza Dream Sheets, plus free shipping.
You'll find deep discounts on all the other My Pillow products as well.
Just enter the promo code Beck at mypillow.com.

Promo code Beck.
Mr. Gavin McGinnis, controversial man who started the Poor Boys.
Welcome, Gavin.
Gavin, how are you?
Good to have you here.
Sorry to wake you up.
I know you probably had more drinking than we did in your coverage of the debate last night.
Well, I think Biden attacked us, and the joke was P-O-U-R.
He was implying that we drink too much.
And when someone accuses you of that, the first thing you want to do is have a drink.
Right.
I'm just a poor boy.
Nobody loves me.
Right.
I went to the pub, and I was accosted by feminists at the pub, a very fat woman and a woman with a shaved head.
And It's their right to interrogate you when they see a popular conservative in public.
So I had to answer all these questions like the Spanish Inquisition.
And when this happens, it'll probably happen to you too.
You just say, show me a right-wing riot.
And I demanded she show me that.
And she pulled up something on her phone about people demonstrating against COVID.
And it ended the night, at the end of the interrogation, and she just yelled, you're a Nazi on the way out of the book.
So, Gavin, I have to ask you, because you started the Proud Boys kind of as a joke.
I mean, you know, like you just did.
You know, you over-the-top masculinity just to really kind of hack people off.
Right?
Yes.
It's still a joke.
People say it started as a joke and then it went out of control.
No, it started as a joke.
It's still a joke.
Yes, there's violence because there's violence.
I mean, we're living in violence right now.
That's the era we're in.
I think rich upper middle class whites don't see the violence in their face.
But in Manhattan, if I do a talk, if Faith Goldie does a talk, if Cassandra Fairbanks is walking with her kid, there's violence.
So we're happy to fight them.
No one else is.
And that makes us violent.
So the Proud Boys, if I'm not mistaken, you refused to go to the Unite the Right rally, which is the one that everybody says, you know, Donald Trump, he said there's good people on both sides.
There were Nazis there.
But you guys weren't there, were you?
I expected a high five after Charlottesville because I said, I don't like this Jason Kessler, dude.
He lied about being all right.
This is smelling like a rat.
They're calling it a statues demonstration, but I feel like it's going to be a Nazi thing.
I was correct.
I called it months in advance.
I said, if you go to that thing, you're out of the Proud Boys.
Sorry, the poor boys.
That makes me hungry.
Like they said, no, there was a couple guys there or something.
And I didn't get my high five for predicting that it was a Nazi thing.
I'm at the point now where I think Charlottesville was a Fed operation.
I think Jason Kess was a Fed.
It reeks of a setup.
And we spotted it, yet we're still blamed for it.
I did Newsmax yesterday, and I had to sit there like a bad boy with my handout and repeat, I'm not a white supremacist.
I'm not a white nationalist.
It's this weird anti-white humiliation we have to do.
So, Gavin, when you hear Joe Biden talk about the one group, single out one group besides the Nazis, and you weren't even there, and you were warning against it, how does that make you feel?
It makes me insane.
And my wife's a liberal.
She's lost all her friends.
You know, she's got all these family problems because of this lie.
This election, these past four years, have been Orwellian.
Everything up is down.
And the fact that we're out there trying to promote, you know, the First and Second Amendment and American values and being called Nazis for it is just, you got to laugh.
You got to see the humor in it.
We're living in the craziest time in history, but it's also the funniest time in history.
Okay, I have to tell you that this is not something that I would ever wish on myself or anybody else.
But if it happens, it's kind of cool.
To be singled out as the mullahs in Iran using something you came up with as a joke and them using it to try to sway the election.
I mean, that's, I mean, in some ways, that's kind of, I wouldn't want it to happen to me or you, honestly.
But I mean, it's kind of cool that it did, right?
It is funny.
It'll be fun to tell my grandchildren.
And as someone in media, you want to have influence.
So it is cool that we've come up in the past two, the only two presidential debates.
That's interesting.
But what a clown world.
And they're not sending their best.
Like sending an email from Proud Voice that says, we're going to kill you if you don't vote for Trump.
Obviously, the FBI is going to trace those emails.
Obviously, you're going to get caught.
Your son left a laptop at a repair place?
Could you be more amateur at this?
I think they're just spoiled brats.
They're like monarchs.
We're dealing with that weird gay king in the movie Braveheart.
That might be a little obscure all these years later.
He's like the prince or something.
I don't remember.
But strangely, I do kind of have a recollection of that.
Yeah.
So, Gavin, are you voting for Donald Trump?
Or did you vote for him last time?
I back him a thousand percent.
He's going to win in a landslide.
The left will contest it.
They will talk about mail-in ballots.
They will contest it so much that come January 1st, he's going to have to use the Supreme Court to say, finish counting your stupid fake ballots.
We've got to get to work here.
And then they'll contest it for the next four years.
You know, they're going to blame you and the Proud Boys for anything that happens violent in the streets.
Yes.
And isn't that amazing?
It's been five months of rioting.
I count 32 deaths directly, not tangentially related to the riots, but actually in the riots.
32 deaths.
It's been $3 billion worth of damage, the most in American history.
98 of the biggest 100 cities in America have experienced rioting.
Every single state has had statues destroyed.
And the news, including Fox news, by the way, is what if Proud Boys riot?
What if they get mad?
What?
They're so scared of mythical riots.
It's all this what if militia groups get mad.
Why don't you look out your window right now and look at the left-wing groups that are burning the country to the ground?
How is that not a problem?
They're not mostly peaceful, Michelle.
Kevin, I thank you for the evidence on how racist you really are when you talk about all the deaths that BLM has caused.
We all know those were COVID deaths.
Yeah, those deaths, by the way, those 32 deaths are mostly black and Hispanic.
And they're from COVID.
Nope.
Thank you so much, Kevin.
I appreciate it.
Thanks for coming on the program.
And it's just got to be surreal being you this week.
I've been thinking about you a lot.
Every time I hear about the poor boys, I think this has got to be surreal.
Got to be a surreal world.
Thank you so much, Kevin.
I appreciate it.
And he doesn't even say goodbye.
Doesn't even say goodbye.
Just gone.
Arian to the next drink.
C-O-U-R, boys.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Let me tell you about Goldline.
Goldline, if the world doesn't descend into chaos in the next couple of weeks, it would still be really wise for you to consider investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals.
I've been telling you for years now that you need to do your own homework on this.
You should get in touch with Goldline and determine what investment strategy is best for you.
I maintain all of that, but with a much higher sense of urgency.
God forbid.
I mean, hopefully, if Donald Trump is, you know, in the swing states, if he is five points ahead, it'll be really tough not to call him a winner in the swing states on election night.
But if it's closer than that, or even if it is that, and the shenanigans that are coming out, it's going to be, the country will be ripped apart by those on the left.
And you're going to see if Biden wins, you're going to see the stock market tank.
You're going to see the dollar drop.
It is not going to be pretty, in my opinion.
I just bought silver.
I've always bought gold, never bought silver because silver has been, you know, $10, $12 a coin, and you'd have to have so much of it.
However, silver's on the rise.
When I bought it, I think it was $27, $28.
Don't know what it is today, but I will tell you, it's going to be probably the currency of the realm for at least a little while in a transition because it will be expensive, but you'll at least be able to spend it.
You'll be able to give something to the farmer and say, hey, yeah, I know.
I know.
Most of people listening to us haven't seen a farmer in a long time.
You should worry about that.
Anyway, Goldline, right now, they are giving free silver away with every purchase made this week.
So if you want to gradually acquire gold or silver, Goldline has a unique accumulation program in three easy steps, and you can enroll.
Free Silver with Every Purchase 00:02:13
And if you do $1,000 a month, Goldline will give you two 24-karat gold-tipped .308 caliber two-ounce silver bullets at no extra charge.
This is so cool.
Gold on the top, two ounces of silver, and it looks like a.308.
It obviously doesn't fire.
It doesn't have any gunpowder in it.
Obviously, that wouldn't be solid silver and gold then, would it?
I want you to get this bullet, actually, to two of them, and you can get it if you spend over $1,000 in their accumulation program.
But please just get the information at Goldline right now.
1-866-GoldLine, 1-866-Goldline or Goldline.com.
10 seconds, station ID.
So, welcome back to the program.
It's Friday.
Tomorrow night, we are going to be introducing a major, major project that you are going to want you and your family involved in, and you can do it from your own home.
The American Journey Center is being opened right across the brickyard in the central square here of the old Paramount lot, the Mercury Studios.
And right across the brickyard is about a 20,000 square foot project that we've been working on now for over a year.
It was supposed to be done in the summer, but COVID hit.
So we are just, I mean, we are trying to get it done.
It's not going to be finished when you see it tomorrow night, but it's pretty close.
We are going to start classes and we're going to tell you all about them.
They're virtual or you can do them in person.
You want to watch.
They'll be free.
And they are classes in depth, challenging people on what they think they know about the founding, challenging them, what they think they know about history.
We're going to show you some of the history that we've collected.
We'll show you the new space and introduce the new program that you can be involved with.
History We've Collected 00:08:15
We're also doing an auction.
This is our yearly fundraiser that we do.
That way I can promise you that every dollar raised for Mercury One when there's a tragedy goes directly toward that tragedy and helping those people, 100% of it.
I can say that because we have an auction and usually we have a ball where we just milk the snot out of rich people.
But we're not having a ball this year and that's going to really dramatically hurt our ability to raise money.
But we decided we were going to have an auction.
And so I've gone in to my house and I've taken stuff that I would never, never have sold.
And I really, I look at it.
I came in this morning and some of it is sitting in here and I'm like, no, I don't want to sell that.
There's things of meaning for me.
One of them is this helmet that was given to me by the fighter group that protects the northern Pacific and protects us from all of the fighters and all of the planes from Russia.
These guys are on the front lines every day.
They've done dogfighting with the Russians in real life.
And they gave me a helmet.
They had a helmet made for me.
And it's just so cool.
It's a fighter helmet.
And it comes in this really nice case and everything else.
There's little things like this little rocket.
If you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV, this is carved and hand carved.
The legs are all hand carved.
It came from a set design that I wanted to build.
And the guy, the architect who did it, he was like, oh, man, you'd have a rocket.
And as a gift, he made the whole set for me in miniature.
And so the rocket is part of it.
It's just a really cool thing.
We also have the Declaration of Independence, the first draft, a copy of the 1826 engraving, which proves that Thomas Jefferson knew exactly what he meant, what he said when he said, all men are created equal.
It proves it without a shadow of a doubt.
It's a remarkable thing.
This is a remarkable piece of history as well.
This is, it says at the top, Executive Mansion, July 15, 1862.
And it's to the Speaker of the Senate.
It says, sir, please inform the Senate that I shall be offering, if they will postpone your adjournment at least one day.
I know this is, I can't read his writing, but I understand now ways to stop slavery.
Your obedient servant, Abe Lincoln.
This is his letter that goes to the Senate that said, please don't adjourn.
I have a new idea and I've been working on it, but I can't get it done tonight.
So don't adjourn.
Don't go away.
And it was Emancipation Proclamation.
It was the beginning of the Emancipation Proclamation.
This is the original.
We're selling, not the original.
We're selling a copy of the original at the auction.
And there are original documents and original pieces that we are selling tomorrow.
There are three of my paintings.
One of Winston Churchill with Keep Strong and Carry On or whatever that is.
And an Abraham Lincoln.
They're both state approved.
They're both wearing masks, but there's a reason why you have to look on the masks.
We have the Hope poster that used to be on Fox News that hung on Fox News for a very long time.
This is an original painting of mine that was supposed to be for the Restoring Covenant event for Gettysburg.
It was the logo.
You may have seen it used.
This was the original painting of that.
And I don't want to sell it, but we need your help.
So if there's anything at all that you are interested in, there's a silent auction going on right now at mercury1.org.
You can check out the silent auction.
More stuff is going to be released later today and tomorrow.
And tomorrow night is an auction of some of the big stuff.
I've got a gun.
I've got a gun that Chuck Norris gave me that is just phenomenal.
And you can pick that up too if you want.
MercuryOne.org.
All the proceeds go to fund mercury1.org.
Is it all up on m1nextchapter.com too?
Yeah, probably.
Okay.
We introduce our next chapter.
You know, we've been in business now almost a decade.
So it's time for a new chapter.
And David and I lined this out over a year ago.
We were very concerned about what we would be facing in the next 18 months.
And here we are.
And so we said, we've got to just start teaching people history.
And that's why we have the American Journey Center.
It's these really incredible classrooms that are right outside of a 3,500 square foot vault with all of this amazing history and documents in it.
Really cool.
And we really want to, we must teach ourselves and our children true history and critical thinking.
And we'll be doing that.
We announce that tomorrow night, 8 p.m., my Facebook page, Blazetv, MercuryOne.org.
You'll be able to find it live tomorrow.
I know the last chapter you were helping people, you know, survive ISIS, and the next chapter will be helping ISIS.
It's just going to be a switch sides.
No, try to even things out a little bit.
By the way, we have an incredible update on the Nazarene file.
Yeah, incredible update tomorrow.
It'll all be part of this broadcast.

But even the dumb criminals don't want to get caught.
So they'll often avoid the home that has a, you know, a sign out front that says, house protected by some security company.
Two out of every five houses in the United States have security.
Two.

NPR's Left-Wing Bias Hangover 00:14:48
Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world, Hollywood reporters, women in entertainment.
Power 100.
She was on the cover of Vanity Fair, only the second news anchor in history to do that.
She's also practiced law, a litigator for nine years.
Her memoir, Settle for More, debuted at number one on the New York Times.
She has also moderated five presidential debates, and that's why I wanted to have her on now.
She's also the host of a brand new podcast called The Megan Kelly Show, found wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to the program.
Friend of the program, Megan Kelly.
Hi, Megan.
Hey.
Megan, are you there?
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry, I can hear you.
You could add a very nice introduction.
Yeah, thank you.
So I saw you rant a bit, and I want to talk to you about the debate, but I want to start with the press.
Have you ever seen anything like what the press is doing right now on 60 Minutes, but also Joe Biden's scandal?
No, it's disgusting.
It's just, it's stomach-turning, but it's just a continuation of what we've seen over the past couple of years.
Their Trump derangement syndrome has blinded them to what they're doing to their own credibility.
They can't get it back.
It's too late.
They've already sacrificed it.
And now no one is listening to them other than the hard partisans for whom they craft their news.
So the 60 Minutes thing was really eye-opening, wasn't it?
So let's go over that.
Tell me your takeaways on that.
So I'm like, I watched 60 Minutes.
I'm like a mild fan of it.
It's kind of stodgy and it's pretty old school, but I grew up seeing it.
So you got that turn back.
And I loved Mike Wallace.
I thought he was the best ever.
He's like, if you ask me who I want to be like, that's why I want to be like Mike Wallace.
But anyway, Leslie Stahl, when I watched her on the unedited 37 Minutes, my main takeaway was the 60 Minutes producers are so much better than we've been giving them credit for.
Like they took this woman, and I'm sorry to rip on her, but who sounded whiny and petulant and immature and biased and unprepared.
And they somehow wind up slicing and dicing it to the point where we have this image of a professional, smooth, polished, tough interviewer.
But she, like, I can give you 10 examples.
One just off the top of my head is like, she was pressing him on why he doesn't make the people who go to the Donald Trump rallies wear masks.
You're very powerful.
Why?
Why don't you tell them?
And, you know, Trump, he never hits it right on the head.
He's just kind of like, oh, I tell him.
I tell him.
It's like, why didn't he look at her and say, Leslie, I'm not their daddy.
They understand that masks and social distancing are what is recommended.
I don't run through the crowds and say, and you, and you, and you, that is not my job.
They're grown-ups.
They can make their own decisions.
And just her whininess on the subject betrayed her bias and hatred for Trump.
Yes.
But it went down the line on every question.
She also claimed that Joe Biden's not in a scandal at all.
There's no scandal.
What?
I tweeted out, and I really believe this.
It was such a meta moment.
It's like, so media refuses to cover a scandal because it's going to hurt Joe Biden.
And then when the actual other candidate says, hey, that guy's having a scandal, media responds with, what scandal?
There's no scandal.
Right.
There's no scandal because you refuse to cover it.
Like, there's no, right?
If you don't hear the bear in the woods or whatever, however the saying goes, there is there.
And now we've heard it from enough witnesses who were involved in it and the DNI saying this is not Russian disinformation that the press has run out of excuses to not try to cover it.
And the only obvious explanation for it all is the one that we knew from the beginning, which is their bias toward Biden and against Trump.
So is the information, excuse me, the information that has come out right now, how would you have covered the laptop and the information?
What do you think is a reasonable way to cover that now?
Well, I think you try to track down the legally blind computer repairman.
I just can't really get past that part of the story.
I don't understand how you wind up in that line of work when you're leaving.
But anyways, I'm with you.
Yeah.
Okay, so anyway, you track him down, you ask him questions that may or may not lend credibility to the story.
You do what Fox News did, and actually what I have done as well, which is try to get the Hunter Biden signature on, you know, when he gave the laptop, which I've seen personally, and so has some of the inquiring media like Fox.
You try to take a look at the emails yourself.
You go through the chain of custody to figure out how you got the emails.
And then understanding that you're not going to get that laptop.
You're not going to get the original source because the FBI has it.
You disclose that to your audience.
And you say, look, this is what we did to try to satisfy ourselves.
This is a real story.
There is this asterisk because no one's going to be able to see the actual laptop.
And let the viewers decide whether they think this is credible or not credible.
But all the time, news organizations go to press with stories that they can't completely know are 100% bulletproof.
Hello, steal dossier.
Everything for the last five years, everything that they have run with.
Let me take you to the statement from NPR.
Did you happen to read that?
Yeah, it's outrageous.
It's completely outrageous.
It is saying, we know better than you do.
We're not going to cover this because there's not even a story here.
Well, of course there's a story there.
Even if it turned out that the story was Rudy Giuliani made that laptop out of chewing gum and foil wrappers, that's a story.
But for them to say there's no story, especially at this time, my question is, did Donald Trump do enough?
And how do you combat when half of the country is getting their news and vast portions of what's really going on are just gone?
How do you break through?
And did he do enough to at least incite some curiosity on, wait, what is he even talking about?
Well, first and foremost, NPR gets federal tax dollars.
So it's just, it's really outrageous that they should be so openly biased and show absolutely zero interest to actually investigate major facts in a presidential race.
Shame on them.
But I do think this race is in large ways between Donald Trump and the media.
And I think they've completely declared against him, and it's really hard for him to break through because I think a lot of independents, those are the only persuadables, maybe some working class Democrats are, they watch CNN thinking this is the news.
Like this is, I'm getting the news.
They know what they watch MSNBC.
They're getting left-wing bias.
But I think there's still a hangover. reputation for CNN that it might just be real news instead of MSNBC under different call letters.
And so if I were Trump, if I were advising Trump, I would have said, Mr. President, before you go out there tonight, you have to assume they don't know anything about this.
People are living their lives.
They're not obsessing about Hunter Biden, trust me.
So if you want to make this point, you're going to have to sort of, forgive the term, dumb it down so that people who aren't steeped in news can get it and can get it easily.
Like, let me tell you, members of the American public, this guy is as corrupt as they come.
He says he had no business dealings with his son, Hunter, who's deeply troubled.
Well, he has.
And now we know because of a laptop that Hunter Biden gave to some repairman and never picked up that Hunter Biden was cutting deals in Ukraine.
He was trying to cut deals in China, some of which looped Joe Biden in as a monetary participant, some of which looped him in as just the guy who needed to do something so Hunter could get paid while Biden was vice president.
Either way you look at it, it's totally corrupt, and the media blackout of the story shows you, American people, that it's you and me working against them.
Well, he didn't do that.
But that would have been very, very good.
But he didn't do that.
You have done clear on the complex stuff.
You have done five presidential debates.
This, I think, was the best moderator yet of these debates.
But can you tell me, as I looked, they were supposed to talk about foreign policy, but of course nobody wants to talk about foreign policy because what's going on in the Middle East, which is miraculous what's happening in the Middle East.
But as you look at that, it was COVID, which they covered ad nauseum, the first debate and the second debate.
There was no foreign policy, and everything was really kind of playing towards Biden's POV.
Of course.
So is that the moderator's responsibility?
Yes.
I mean, I agree with you that she was the best so far.
And I like Kristen Welker.
I knew her a little when I worked at NBC, and I think she's a stand-up person.
I think she managed the two candidates as well as anyone could.
But I do think some of her left-wing bias was reflected in the overwhelming number of times she interrupted Trump instead of Biden and in the topic selection.
I mean, why wouldn't we be talking about what's happening in the Middle East or Afghanistan?
And instead, once again, back to Black Lives Matter and race.
I mean, this is like the left is obsessed.
They are obsessed with pigmentation and genitalia.
It's like everything is seen through the lens of like lady parts and pigmentation.
I'm sick of it.
It's like we've covered this now at so many debates.
I can't believe she didn't ask him the, you've refused to condemn white supremacy.
I know.
But she got around to, you know, like you've said the stuff about Black Lives Matter.
Again, not a question to Joe Biden about where's his condemnation for Antifa, which actually is causing riots in the streets right now.
So it is frustrating to me as somebody who's more in the middle, the way the news media approaches, forget Donald Trump, because he's controversial, but just Republicans in general.
But I thought understanding that the bias is baked in, she did about as well as you could expect from somebody who's, you know, probably leaning over that way.
Do you believe the polls?
Not really.
Not really.
I have to say, in general, I do.
And so I have a history of believing them.
But I think we learned through Trump last year that there's real reason to doubt them when Donald Trump is involved.
So what do you think is going to happen?
Well, let me tell you something, Glenn.
If you look at where Joe Biden is polling today versus where Hillary Clinton was polling on this exact same date four years ago, she was polling better than Joe Biden is in virtually every swing state, virtually all of them, versus Donald Trump.
And she lost the race.
So don't let anyone tell you that just because Joe Biden is polling ahead, even in the swing states, he's got this thing locked up.
He doesn't.
And I actually think there's even more reason this time around to doubt the polls than last time because people have been more ashamed than ever to say that they like Donald Trump.
People are getting kicked out of their sororities for saying that.
They're getting their hands slapped on Twitter.
Their companies are getting, they're getting fired if they like a tweet that is controversial about Black Lives Matter.
Like our whole society has cracked down on freedom of opinion, and I think they're more afraid than ever to say how they really feel.
When they go in that voting booth, it's between them and their God.
And if I had to put money on it right now, I would put money on Trump.
But it's anybody's ballgame.
The last question is quickly, Megan.
When you look at what's coming, it could go either way.
I tend to agree with you that it's going to go Trump's way.
But we know that the left has planned.
I mean, they announced that they had 200 organizations already ready for protests if Donald Trump wins.
How is that going to come down?
What is the press going to do if he wins?
I mean, I think you know the answer to that question, right?
It's going to be a calamity.
It's going to be, you know, it's going to be like Adolf Hitler was put into the Oval Office by an American public that doesn't care at all about anybody in any minority group.
And you're going to see anchors openly shedding tears on election night.
Whereas if Biden wins, Republicans will suck it up and move on.
I mean, that's just the way people are built in this country.
We've seen it happen enough times.
Whoever wins, half the country will tune out from traditional media for the next few months.
And I actually believe based on my own history that they'll come to people like you, like me, they'll come to podcasts where they can hear smart cultural discussions that aren't necessarily all politics, either for soothing, for a soothing bomb and an escape, or just to hear like a smart take on what the country may be going through at that time.
So I think it'll be good for podcasters, you know, like me and like you.
And I mean, you're more than a podcaster, but we're all into the, we all do the same, we're all shoveling the same crap every day.
I'd love to have that.
But I think it's going to be a lot of tears, a lot of tears, and a lot of playing up of anything that's dramatic on television.
Megan, I appreciate you and your point of view and being on the program.
I'd love to have you on again because you said something yesterday.
You tweeted.
It's fun being outside corporate media, and I would love to unpack that with you, but I'm out of time this time.
Hope to have you on again.
Thank you so much, Megan.
You bet.
She is the host of the Megan Kelly Show, now on podcast, and you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Last few minutes of the week.
I just wanted to send my heartfelt thanks, my heartfelt support, and Just an overwhelming sense of gratitude to Rush Limbaugh, who if it wasn't for him, none of us would have jobs, at least on talk radio.
I don't think talk radio would exist the way it does if it wasn't for Rush Limbaugh.
And if you didn't hear his monologue this week, it was a powerful 10 minutes of radio where he talked about things are getting worse, but he's powering through it.
Rush, we pray for you.
We love you.
And many of us owe more than our gratitude to you.
God bless you, Rush.
Oh, and Michael Savage, you're going to burn in hell.
Okay, we will see you tomorrow night.
What?
That was wrong.
No, I'm not judging him.
He's just going to burn in the fires of hell.
