Best of the Program | Guests: Eric Schmitt & Blake Masters | 11/8/22

Trip Planner by Expedia.

You were made to outdo your holiday,

your hammocking,

and your pooling.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

Hey, here it is.

The last call.

Save the Republic and

stop the madness.

We've got a great show for you today brought to you by Goldline.

Tons of Americans still don't know that there is, you know, the possibility of using your retirement account to acquire precious metals.

You could save up for retirement, you know, and build a protective shield around that to protect it from inflation.

And, oh, I don't know, an out-of-control Fed or, you know, crazy voting from crazy people that just, hey, did he have a stroke?

I like him even more.

Anyway, contact Goldline today.

Make sure you give them the promo code MYB.

It represents the Mind Your Your Business Silver Bars that they'll give you just as a thank you for calling in.

Go to their website at goldline.com or call them at 866Goldline.

866Goldline or Goldline.com.

You're listening to

the best of the Blend Beck program.

Do you know the worst part of election night?

I think turning on cable news and hearing nothing but bland, stale, pre-packaged talking points that usually piss you off from

overpaid bloviators who all were part of the system.

And now they're like, and they're trying to give you advice and ideas of how important these elections are, really?

Because you've been in the system.

You like the system.

What are you talking about?

Skip the boring and predictable commentary and come spend election night with us tonight.

I'm hosting, Stu will be there, Dave Rubin, Sarah Gonzalez, Steve Dace.

All of the big hosts on the Blaze are going to be a part of this some way or another tonight.

In the first hour, our guests are Donald Trump, the president,

and

also

Megan Kelly.

Just those two.

Just in the first hour.

Not a bad first hour.

We have Dave Rubin.

He's going to be with

the governor of Florida.

We've got lots of things planned.

Make sure you watch this tonight.

You can find it as a Blaze TV subscriber.

Go to blazetv.com/slash midterms.

Use the promo code REDWAVE at checkout.

You're going to get $30 off your subscription.

This is the largest discount we've ever offered.

Don't miss out.

The coverage begins tonight on Blaze TV at 7:45 p.m.

Fun, wild,

tragically sad if it doesn't go our way tonight.

But

I really think it's going to.

Eric Schmidt is with us.

He is the Missouri Attorney General.

I think he's one of the strongest.

There's like four of them in the country that I can always count on and go, yep, they're going to do the right thing.

Eric Schmidt is one of those guys.

He is the Attorney General who's running for the U.S.

Senate.

And you are, I mean, I say this without trying to jinx it.

You are way ahead in your election, are you not, Eric?

We feel good about it.

And that's what the polling would suggest.

But you know this, Glenn.

You got to run through the tape here and make sure people get out and vote.

But it's exciting.

We're confident.

And like we're working really hard.

I mean, you talk about it all the time, Glenn.

I think the fate of this republic hangs in the balance.

We cannot go another two years with what we've seen.

We've been fighting those fights in the AG's office, and I want to take that same fighting spirit to the Senate.

Well, we need you in there.

I don't know if you've seen the letter from Grassley and Mike Lee and Tom Cotton that talk about ESG.

There is a big coalition in the Senate that's going to take that on next year, and I think that's great.

Yeah, I look forward to hopefully joining that.

As you know, Gwen,

we opened up a big investigation just a few weeks ago against six of the biggest banks in the world for this UN net zero carbon alliance,

net zero banking alliance, where they want to have their portfolios by 2050 carbon neutral.

What would that mean?

Well, that means not only going after oil and gas production, which is, by the way, driving inflation because we've choked that off,

going after car manufacturers, and California is the worst example of this, right?

On Monday, they say,

no more gas-powered vehicles.

On Friday, they say, oh, yeah, you can't charge your electric vehicle.

It's just totally insane.

But also, it's traditional agriculture.

I mean, they're going to go after your farm, your loan, because you have too many diesel-powered vehicles.

This is a radical agenda.

We see the short-term play right now with the Biden administration.

This ESG movement's a long-term play.

It's antithetical to capitalism.

It's antithetical to the American experiment, and we've got to stop it.

Well, I do want to also tell you that tomorrow I start a campaign for all the senators, Republican, that have been elected or are currently there, except for Mitt Romney.

I am starting a campaign to get Rick Scott to replace,

you know, Turtle Man.

What's his name?

Mitch McConnell.

I block his name all the time.

Yes, you do.

It's bad.

And I'm not going to ask you to join that campaign until tomorrow.

Then I'll talk to you about it.

So, Eric, I saw the DOJ's plans to monitor elections.

I know now it's happening in Missouri, it's happening in Texas, and it's happening in Florida.

What

are you doing about it in Missouri?

And have they said why they're coming to monitor your elections?

You know, everybody just became aware of this last minute, as you would expect.

And we're obviously monitoring this ourselves and watching very closely.

I think it's a glimpse, Glenn,

into two things.

One is the over-politicization of DOJ.

We have seen this time and time again now, whether it's going after political enemies like some sort of banana republic that did, you know, raiding the pre-dawn raid of the former president's home and likely rival, which is nuts.

And by the way, if that were happening in another country, our State Department would be like warning Americans about it.

It's happening here.

So you've got that going on.

And of course, you've got the infamous Patriot, using the Patriot Act to go after parents who show up at school board meetings.

These folks at the top are held in on power and control.

And one of our important roles in the Senate and this oversight function is we got to bring these folks in.

And not just there.

Obviously, we've got in our lawsuit against big tech coordinating with big government a deposition scheduled with Anthony Fauci.

I think he needs to be brought in in 2023 and clear his calendar.

But back to DOJ, you've seen the over-politization.

It's also

a tell for them of what they really want to do when they talk about federalizing our elections.

I mean, they want command and control from Washington, D.C.

The Constitution is very clear that state legislatures set the time, place, and manner of elections.

And this is a preemptive message, I guess, they're sending to 24 states where they're quote-unquote monitoring it.

So we're concerned about it.

We're watching it.

But again, it's part and parcel of this DOJ that, again, it's just become way too political.

So wait a minute.

24 states.

How many of them are blue states?

I haven't seen the full list.

I really haven't.

I just know that in Missouri, you know, our Secretary of State became aware of this just about 48 hours ago.

Yeah, yeah.

So anyway, so it's

so

Florida Department of State just said, you're not welcome.

In fact, federal election monitors are not permitted inside of polling places as it would be counterproductive and potentially undermine the confidence in this election.

So they're saying, don't you dare do it.

Yeah, no, we've pushed back.

We've pushed back.

And again, it's kind of unclear what exactly, you know, this quote-unquote monitoring, you know, it's just, it's this vagueness, but I think it's, it's meant to send a message, right?

Again, this is just, this is not what DOJ is supposed to be, right?

The Department of Justice is supposed to be this neutral actor that, you know, represents the government in certain cases, right?

What we're seeing right now, and it's not just DOJ, sadly, I mean, you're seeing this with the 87,000 new IRS agents, which, by the way, is one thing that we got to take care of right away when we get into Congress, make sure those people don't get funded.

But you're just seeing the administrative state now take on an even more aggressive approach.

And I actually think they're going to try to accelerate this, Glenn.

I think that, you know, especially if Republicans take over tonight, they know that the only way they can get move their agenda forward isn't legislatively, it's through this administrative state.

And Mike Lee is somebody that I admire, he endorsed me in my primary.

And I know that you hold that same admiration for him.

He's a good man in working on some things that pull back that power.

The founders never envisioned in the system of self-government and separation of powers, which is meant to protect individual liberty.

They never thought, I mean, by the way, half of the Federalist papers are written about how these different

branches would jealously guard their power, right?

They knew what human nature was like.

They never thought that the Article I branch, Congress, would willingly cede all this authority to the Article II branch, the executive branch.

We've got to rein that back in, whether it's for every new rule, pull back 10, or it's if it has an impact over X, Y, and Z, Congress has to vote on it we got to do that because the folks in Congress Glenn are perfectly happy many of them with saying I voted for the greatest deal in the world but I can't believe what the EPA did we got to get clear with that because people aren't accountable and that's what our entire system of self-government is based on if you want to understand what you know Missouri's always been suspicious of the government you know central government a thousand miles away telling us how to live our lives but at the root of it is nobody knows who the deputy undersecretary of the department of transportation is.

And this is at the heart of all of these big issues we're talking about.

A lot of our lawsuits, a lot of things you talk about.

We've got to get that under control.

It doesn't make front page, you know, sort of headlines, but it's the root of frustration.

It's the root of the problem.

All right, my man.

Are you still out campaigning today?

We did a election day, you know, interesting, right?

Like we did a six-state tour yesterday around around the state.

I'm going to go vote with my wife here in about 10 minutes.

We've got a family tradition of eating pizza on Election Day.

So we'll do that later today.

So there's a lot of things, but you're going to still try to, you know, talk to voters.

But, you know, today is a day where people let their voices be heard.

And it's, we're the greatest country in the history of the world.

And I think people understand the stakes today.

We have to preserve that.

We have to take this country back because there's nowhere else to go.

This is the greatest experiment in human history.

There is nowhere else to go.

And once you lose it, you don't get it back.

Every civilization has a beginning and has an end.

And I don't think that the American people right now want to give up on this country.

So today's a big, big day.

Hopefully, your election coverage tonight, you guys are having a lot of fun declaring this red wave, but we got to earn it.

Well, like I said, you cannot count it.

You got to get out and vote.

We would love to have you on as soon as you walk off stage,

you know,

accepting

tonight.

So we'd love to have you part of the program.

Listen,

take care.

Be safe.

Thank you for everything you've done.

And we look for big things

assuming you win tonight.

All right, Glenn, take care.

Thank you.

God bless.

Bye-bye.

It's just such a tough spot to be a politician in the middle of an election day interview where, you know, like, you know, Eric's, I think, polling looks really good.

I think

he's going to win.

But, like, you don't want people to say, ah, he's going to win.

They're not going to come out.

That's the worst thing

anyone can do.

Yeah.

The worst thing anyone can do.

I would not look at any of this stuff as

a sure thing.

I mean, these races can go either way.

You know, the Missouri race was supposed to be one of the closest in the country.

I think, you know, Eric has done a really good job as a candidate and has opened up a lead in the polling.

Not only a good job as a candidate.

I think he was a strong attorney general.

Yeah.

I think he went after the bad guys over and over and over again, and people rewarded him.

They're two different jobs, though.

You can be a really competent public servant and then suck as a candidate.

We've seen that many times, and people lose races that way.

He's been able to handle both of those jobs, which is great.

And I think he's going to be a really good senator when he wins today.

Yes.

Good news today.

Hopefully.

We have Masters on with us today.

When is he coming up?

Do you know?

Don't know yet.

We've got a few of them

stopping by today, anxious to see what is happening with Carrie Lake.

You know, she was in,

her office was attacked.

Nobody's talking about all of the things that are, that are happening to the Republicans, the violence, the

threats that are going on.

They don't talk about it.

We are in the Hunter Biden window.

That's a new thing that has developed in elections.

There's a Hunter Biden window that journalists now all have adopted.

Like it's, you know, it's a national holiday where they have a moratorium on news that could possibly help Republicans.

Yeah.

And

you just, look, it's too important.

This is them talking.

It's too important.

I know the journalism thing.

We're supposed to report both sides, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But when we're this close,

we can't throw it.

We could tell that story after.

Nancy Pelosi.

We could tell that story after the election, right?

And that is what I think really has been implemented

starting after 2016 with the

James Comey letter

and that stuff that developed right before that election.

They said they'd never make that mistake again, and they are trying to implement that.

So, I would like to just ask you one question.

It's more rhetorical.

We can get to the answer maybe tomorrow.

Why is it that Nancy Pelosi and the San Francisco police refuse to give anyone the mugshot of the perpetrator?

That tried.

Why?

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Well, Stu is here, and Stu is

the guy who looks at all the polls, then looks at what other things do you look at?

Lots of different things.

Historic trends,

you know, financial donations,

you know,

changes in the demographics in each district, you know, momentum.

Got it.

There's a lot of stuff.

Okay.

So you're putting them all together now, and you're ready to make your final calls.

Yes.

We're going to hold you to these.

Pat Gray is joining us now from Pat Gray Unleashed.

I do a similar thing.

I just look at the race and think, yeah, I think he's going to win.

That's pretty much the same process.

It's a very similar process.

Very, very close to what you just described.

Nothing like that.

Well, except the exact opposite of no research whatsoever.

Right, okay.

All right.

Okay.

So let's go through these.

These are probably more accurate, and that's how this works.

It's like the woman in the office who's never watched a college basketball game that wins the final four tournaments.

That's how this works.

So let me give you a baseline because I think most of this will agree on.

First of all, you start out in the Senate.

36 Democrats not up for election.

They're automatically locked in.

29 Republicans.

One of the reasons why it's tough for Republicans to win the Senate is because they're down by seven at the start.

Right.

36, 29 as we lead in to election day.

So then we go to the likely categories.

Races we don't think will be super close.

Tell me if you disagree with any of these.

We can move them on your charts, but California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Connecticut.

You get any disagreements with the city?

All those locked in with Democrats.

With Democrats.

Yes.

I just would agree with that.

There are some people I know around here that are getting super optimistic and thinking Connecticut might be in play.

No way.

I don't think so, but I'm confident with all of those.

Glenn, you're there.

I'm going to give you my list here in a minute, but I think that

there's some openings there, but it's going to be.

We're going to have to have an extraordinary night.

Some people have speculated Oregon might be in play.

Yeah.

Oregon for the governor

is definitely in play.

For the Senate,

it would be a big surprise.

But it's, you know, again, when the gubernatorial race is close, you know,

you never know.

Talking anyone out of voting, please do it.

On the likely Republican side, give me if you disagree with any of these.

Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina, both Dakotas.

Also, both Oklahomas.

There's a special election going on.

There's two Senate seats in Oklahoma.

Missouri, we just talked to Eric Schmidt just on the air just a minute ago.

Iowa and Florida, which is Marco Rubio, was closer early on.

I moved it over to the likely category, I think, a couple of weeks ago.

That gives you...

Any disagreements on there that you're worried about any of those?

Okay.

So what's interesting about that is it gets you to the baseline of 44-44.

We're locking in right there at 44 to 44.

All the races after that, I think, are up for a decent amount of discussion.

Should we go through some of these?

Sure, can you see that?

All right.

So Colorado is, we're talking about Democratic leaners, maybe.

Colorado, Washington, and New Hampshire.

Alaska, Utah, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona.

Let's take these.

Start wherever you want.

Start at the beginning.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Okay.

I think the two easiest ones would be Alaska.

Yeah.

So Alaska is going to be a Republican.

We just don't know if it's Murkowski or not.

And then you have Utah, which is Mikely.

Mikely, it's going with.

Mikely for sure.

Mikely, yeah.

And a Republican because it's going to be a Republican.

It's going to be a Republican.

So then you go to Wisconsin.

Ron Johnson against Mandela Barnes.

I think he wins.

I think he wins.

I'm with Ron Johnson on that one.

Colorado is O'Day versus Bennett.

For

Bennett's going to win that.

You think Bennett's going to win?

Glenn, the Democrat Bennett, or the Republican O'Day?

Republican.

Really?

Okay.

This is Alan O'Day, who did

heaven on the seventh floor?

Yeah, no, it's not.

It's not.

Darn it.

I'd really think he's a sneaker.

I'd love to hear that song again.

I would too.

Yeah, absolutely.

Heaven on the seventh floor.

Seventh floor.

Yeah.

Really good.

It really should have been the theme song.

Yeah, really.

So I have Colorado in my final predictions as a Democratic win, unfortunately.

In Colorado.

In Colorado.

Me too.

We go over to Ohio.

Ohio, J.D.

Vance versus Tim Ryan.

I mean, Vance.

Which wins?

Vance got a really good poll today where he's up by 10, which is

a great result.

I also have Ohio as a Republican, and I have Wisconsin if I didn't say that as Republican as well.

North Carolina, Ted Budd versus Beasley there.

Budd has held a moderate but consistent lead here for a few weeks.

And I have Bud winning that seat.

Me too.

Washington.

We talked to Tiffany Smiley going up against Patty Murray.

This is shit.

She could win this.

A reach state potentially.

I'm going to be so close.

I'm going to say yes.

Closer than Democrats could have possibly expected going into this.

For sure.

I'm going to say yes.

They don't like her.

They don't like Patty Murray in Washington.

Yeah.

I don't think the Democrats are even that excited about her.

They're not.

And so this might be

a big surprise.

Okay.

Pat, what'd you say?

I think the Republican pulls it out here, too.

Yeah, okay.

I would love that to be true.

I found this one really close.

However, I did give this one to the Democrats.

Yes, in a close race.

You bastard.

I know.

Wow.

But again, I think these are so far pretty good results.

Georgia, Herschel Walker.

Herschel wins.

Herschel wins.

I think Herschel wins as well.

I think he wins outright.

I don't think he'll even go to a runoff.

That's going to be my follow-up.

Do you think, Pat, Glenn, that it goes to a runoff?

Does

it go to a runoff?

I do think it could as well.

Now, that, again, would probably be

good for Herschel Walker.

He probably will win a runoff.

But again, we said that last time, too, and both Democrats won.

So you don't want to risk it.

Hopefully he can get over 50% there.

Pennsylvania, Oz versus Fetterman.

Fetterman.

I don't want Fetterman so badly that

I can't pick him.

I'm going to pick Oz.

Oz.

I just.

This is one of those.

The data looks.

Yeah.

First of all, we're in no confidence area.

At this point, these are all the ones I have any confidence in.

It could go either way.

We're in really, really close territory here.

I went back and forth a little bit on Pennsylvania, but I just can't imagine.

And I shouldn't say things like this, but the data had a very, it was very, very close.

I'm giving the edge to...

Dr.

Oz,

which is a strange sentence to say

that I think Oz will win.

I just feel like there's enough people in the middle who don't necessarily have huge ideological leanings in a Republican climate, you know, based on things like inflation and all the underlying issues we're talking about.

And then to see the fact that one of the two candidates is incapable of speaking.

Yeah.

I just think that's a good idea.

Are there enough people with common sense to sway it?

10 years ago, I would have said Oz.

10 points.

Right.

20 points.

I don't think it's going to be 10 or 20 points.

It's going to be close.

But I got to give this one to Oz at a squeaker.

All right.

Then next up, Nevada.

Nevada is Adam Laxalt against Cortez Masto.

I think Laxalt only because there's a legacy there, and Nevada loves the Laxalts.

And I think he wins.

I think he pulls it out.

Now, Cortez-Masto is the incumbent.

So there's a bit of an advantage there.

But Laxalt's held public office.

He's relatively well-known.

His family's well-known.

Well-known, not known as some crazy outlier candidate.

He's done a good job in his campaign.

He's had many polls that have showed him up, though it is close.

I also had Nevada going to the Republicans and Laxalt winning.

Two races left here that we have not covered.

New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is a really interesting race because Hassan or Hassan, depending how you say it,

people seem to do both.

But

she's the incumbent, but really not a particularly notable one.

Like, there's not a lot of chatter about her.

She's never really involved in big things.

This is a purplish state.

You have Don Bolduk, who was initially seen as this candidate that couldn't possibly win.

He's too radical, too crazy.

They came into office and closed the polls from about 11 points down to dead heat level.

I'm going to give it to him.

You're going to go with

Bolduck.

Don Bolduck.

We had him on the air.

He didn't seem like a crazy person at all.

I had a couple of listeners from New Hampshire today that convinced me that Bullduck is going to win.

You know,

the momentum is really on his side right now.

It's going to be close.

It's going to be very close.

It could be weeks before we know.

We might not even know until 2027.

This is the race.

I had the hardest time with it.

I went back and forth on it a bunch of times

and I wound up giving it to the Democrats.

Oh, wow.

Very, very close.

Very, very close.

Last race, Arizona.

Easy masters.

Easy masters.

Now, here's the thing that to lead you into this, you have to be able to do that.

No, not easy masters.

Easy for me masters.

But, I mean, Arizona could be dead to us all by tonight.

Could.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, it could.

What's interesting about the Masters race, because I said this about Pennsylvania, as Oz was tightening this race, and I started to believe that Oz was going to win it.

I just said, I want to see one, one poll.

Give me one poll that shows him actually winning.

You don't give him all of them.

And now we got them.

We never got that out of the Masters race.

there has not been any polls any that have shown blake masters ahead in this race at least according to real clear politics now there's some other polls they don't always include however that he's gonna win however let me let me amend that until today

today we got not only one but two polls showing masters nice ahead yeah so that is a big update to that story i think these polls are going to be very wrong and i just don't see masters not winning with carrie lake i think you're right i I think Masters will win as well.

I give that to Republicans.

What do you have?

My total here, with all of the races we've just talked about, is Republicans with 53 seats, Democrats 47 seats.

That's exactly what I have.

So is that really good?

Because I had

switched a few states from you, but I wound up at 53, 47.

You had Pennsylvania going to the Democrats, Glenn, if I remember.

Right.

And then you put your.

Here's my final count.

Okay.

Democrats, 61.

Sorry, Republicans, 61.

Democrats, 38.

Wow.

So there's going to be one seat open?

Yeah, that's because, strangely,

Utah just wrote in, we want to eject Mitt Romney.

So there's one open seat.

Oh, yeah.

So 61, 38.

So you went with the ejection clause.

I did.

I like that.

I did.

It's with the good and plenty clause.

Yeah.

So.

That's in the constitution.

We're still in the constitution.

Well, we're in constitutional territory.

Okay, territory.

Okay.

All right.

So that's pretty positive with you.

Or you said 53.

53 is very positive.

We should be happy.

No, we want to get to 53.

I want to get to 54.

What we don't want to do is get to 48 and stop.

So let's just hope.

Again,

look how many of these races we were like, gosh, these are really tight.

I know, no, no, no.

So really, it's not a sure thing.

There's at least three of them.

Yeah, I think the number might even be higher that you could flip.

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, but, but, but, but, do, but, but hey, look,

if you can get over, you get to 51, that's the most important thing.

Everything you get above.

You're going to have probably Murkowski and Romney.

Yes,

you're not going to feel secure at 51.

Yeah.

But it's much better.

At least you can at least direct the things they're handling.

Yes.

Okay.

And by the way, don't forget Blaze TV coverage tonight.

Blazetv.com slash midterms.

The promo code is

RedWave for $30 off.

Also, after that coverage, going to the wee hours of the morning, I'm going to be on the YouTube page, youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica with extra coverage into into the late night.

I'll be doing a QA this afternoon, too, if you have any questions about the election on Stu Does America YouTube channel.

Let's go over to the House.

You want to do House next or governors, Glenn?

Let's do the House just real quick.

Okay, just give me a question.

Yep.

So I have, again, current control, 220 Democrats, 212 Republicans.

All seats are up for election here.

As far as sure thing, likelies, I have 191 Republicans, 165 Democrats.

For leaners, 47 Republicans, 32 Democrats.

So for a final total of 238 Republicans, 197 Democrats.

So would you put that in the

wave?

That'd be really good.

Electionist for the first time.

Yes.

It's good.

It's very good.

I don't think it's...

It's really strong.

It's not red tsunami.

No.

You could get into the 250s if things go super well tonight.

I have, there's 45.

35.

So I have 432

going to the Republicans.

Okay.

432.

432.

You're thinking three Democrats are going to win?

Three Democrats are going to win, but they're so old they'll be trapped in their office because they won't know how to open the door or where they are.

Right.

And so they'll never actually show up for a vote.

You have a significant amount more optimism than I would say.

I would say this is a red tidal wave.

Maybe.

It may be a tsunami.

Okay, so 432 to 32 to 3 is the

61 to 38 in the Senate for the Republicans.

Yeah.

Can you call that a tsunami, though, really?

It's not unanimous.

Nah, right.

Right.

In either house.

Right.

So what are these?

Imagine the people in those three districts.

What the heck are they doing?

You know what I mean?

What are they doing voting?

What are they doing in those three districts?

Well, they're stupid.

Well, you know, in San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi is going to be.

She's still going to make it through after all that.

Yeah, yeah.

Dang.

Well, that's a sympathy vote for her husband, though.

Yeah.

And Strom Thurmond's

back on the ballot, but he's actually running as a Democrat because he forgot.

Wow.

Yeah.

So

he's running as a Democrat.

Really?

Yes.

Wow.

That's a decomposition of Strom.

I think that's

pretty strong that he can actually do that, though.

Oh, I switched parts off for one thing.

That's off to him, you know.

That's off to him.

Really impressive.

Thank you.

An impressive, impressive thing.

I base that on a lot of stuff.

I want to say that I like your prediction better than mine.

I do too.

I think it's better.

That's why I'm here.

Right.

Yeah.

You're giving the good news.

Pat, are you more optimistic or less than Glenn?

Just slightly less optimistic than Glenn.

I think it's going to be 240.

240?

To what, 196?

Would that be?

195.

195, yeah.

195.

Yeah.

240 to 195.

I mean, I think that's within their...

I mean, the Republicans really should win.

That's the key number one here is, you know, even like the mainstream models, you know, have, I think it's 85% chance of Republicans winning the House.

So things should go well here.

They are favored.

It's not impossible.

85%, though, is what?

one out of six chance that they don't.

But I mean, most likely they should win the House.

I saw one of those polls today where they're saying 70% chance that the Republicans regain the Senate, which a couple of weeks ago, just

maybe last month, it was the other way around.

It was like 78% Democrat chance.

To give you the 538 model had, on September 18th, had Democrats with a 71% chance

of winning the Senate.

And today, their final model, it's down to 41.

Oh, Republicans.

10-point swing.

That's wild.

Wow.

Really good math.

Thank you.

You're really good.

You do have a piece of paper.

No, but I do that one off the top of my head.

Wow.

Listen,

here's the thing is, you know,

they have to have the last one kind of right,

otherwise it'll be made fun of.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

So, I mean, if if you're really cynical, you'd be like,

pollsters.

Let's go to the last one before the election.

Some pollsters definitely do this, though, I think.

But

the big worry you'd have for Republicans here is the last two election cycles,

the polls have sucked, right?

And everyone's acknowledged they've sucked.

So they are, some of these people are trying to fix the problems.

And eventually they probably will fix them.

They may even overcorrect the other way.

And at some point, these polls are going to tell us something that's wrong the other way.

I don't know when that's going to happen.

I just hope it's not this time.

Because at some point, they have an incentive to try to get this right.

You know, the one thing I do know is have a pretty good gut.

People are not happy.

They're not thinking this is working.

I agree.

So I'm surprised that it's as close as it is, quite honestly, because in my lifetime, this is the clearest example of,

hey, what we're doing is in the wrong direction.

Biggest example ever.

The best of the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the

you know what?

This is really bad because this is like the day after we've been up all night.

Usually the show goes off the rails.

Off the rails.

And for it to happen so early in the day

of a very, very long day.

Tomorrow,

all bets are off.

Yeah, we're screwed.

Blake Masters is here.

He is the U.S.

Senate candidate in Arizona.

Blake, I want you to know we all called you as the winner today.

We're betting on you.

I appreciate it, Glenn.

Thank you.

Great to join you.

We're feeling great.

We've got the momentum.

We just need to seal the deal.

Yeah, you've got two polls out today that show you ahead.

And you've been campaigning with Carrie as well.

And I just can't imagine her, you know, sweeping up and you not being able to close the deal against the space guy.

We're going to send him back to space.

I think the last four or five polls, no, last four out of five polls that I've seen had me up, right?

So we're peaking at the right time.

Certainly, the independents that are crucial are breaking our way.

And it's no surprise, right?

When people look around, they know they're worse off, unfortunately, than they were two years ago.

When you get into the senate you are going to love mitt romney he said he said last week he tweeted a red wave is coming and all of the credit goes to mitch mcconnell

oh my gosh oh my gosh did they ever bring the money back to you in arizona they ever

never not a dime and i try not to be bitter about it you know if i felt entitled to other people's money i'd be like aoc

It's a good conservative value to not go.

Good for you.

When Mitch McConnell pulled that money, I just said, you know what?

That's his business.

My job is to win this race with or without Mitch McConnell's money.

I think we're on track to win without, which is just as good in my book.

Oh, I think it's even better.

It's better.

So, Blake,

how can you do things on inflation without passing a budget?

Well, I think we can at least put the brakes on inflation, right?

Stop the bleeding.

When a boat is sinking, the first thing to do is plug the holes and make sure you don't take on more water.

And so just by taking back the House and the Senate, we can put a stop to Biden's demented spending.

I mean, he won't be able to get the Green New Deal passed.

He won't be able to get Build Back Better.

We wouldn't have done the, quote, Inflation Reduction Act, a $700 billion tax and spend

which just was renamed.

You know, that is really the

portions of that are the Green New Deal and the Build Back Better.

The down payment on the Green New Deal.

And so that's crazy.

We'll put a stop to that.

You know, the other half of inflation is just the the consequence, predictable consequence, of course, of Biden's America last energy policies.

You surrender our energy independence.

You make war on oil and gas.

Well, you're going to make the price of energy go up.

That makes everything more expensive because everything we need to live, of course, takes energy to make and to move.

And so that's going to be harder to put that cat back in the bag.

We just need to bearhug Biden's administration and basically hold him hostage until he re-implements the very commonsensical America first energy policies we know we need.

Can you help me out on this?

Yesterday,

it was announced that

a letter went out from Senator Grassley, Cotton, Blackburn, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio.

And it went out to 51 of the biggest law firms in the country.

And it's all about ESG.

And basically, it says:

Let me quote: We're writing you about your firm's environmental, social, and governments practice.

Although businesses would certainly be wise to lawyer up before undertaking ESG initiatives, your firm has a duty to fully inform clients of the risks they incur by participating in climate cartels and other ill-advised schemes.

It goes on how they're going to investigate.

To the extent that your firm continues to advise clients regarding participation in ESG initiatives, both you and those clients should take care to preserve relevant documents in anticipation of Senate investigations.

Will you put your name to that?

Absolutely.

I think we need to ban ESG.

And, you know, it can be slippery.

The exact details might be pretty hard, but there's a couple ways to really get our hooks in here.

You know, I think it arguably violates fiduciary duties to shareholders when you start privileging left-wing social causes over making sure that a business is making wise economic decisions.

The federal government has a lot to say about where and how

pension funds are invested.

And

we're going to use every bit of leverage we have.

You can't draft the Fortune 1000 into being this quasi-de facto government by...

getting private, you know, so-called private companies to just enforce the left's increasingly totalitarian agenda.

We're just not going to tolerate that in a free society.

So what do we look for

in tonight's results?

Where are the counties or what areas of Arizona do you look at and say, this has got to go well here.

If this goes well, we got it.

Well, if we win Maricopa County, and I think, you know, if everything goes cleanly, we will.

That's, you know, know, that's the bellwether.

That's going to really suggest Republicans are going to sweep statewide in Arizona.

You try to win Maricopa or at least fight to a draw.

We'll lose Pima County, but

hopefully not too badly.

And then you run up the score in every other county, most of which are ruby red.

The problem right now in Maricopa County, and I'm just dealing with this,

about 10 to 20% of the voting centers, the machines aren't working.

Today, we just found this out today.

This morning.

It's a lot of people, a lot of patriots are waiting in line to be told, oh, hey, just

find somewhere else to vote.

Or if you want, you can drop your ballot in this black box and it'll be taken downtown and counted later.

Yeah, the tabulators aren't working.

So look, I don't want to jump to conclusions.

I don't know if it's genuine incompetence or if it's something worse than that.

But I do know that the Democrats are hoping that it demoralizes our voters and people get sick and tired of waiting and just go home.

So my message to folks in Arizona, if you haven't voted yet, if you're waiting in line,

stay in line.

Stay in line.

Make sure your vote is cast in fact we need to use this to galvanize more turnout pull out your cell phone call everybody you know in arizona get them to a voting center uh take some food take some water we have to stay in line you have to cast those votes that's how we save this country even if they're trying to to play funny business what is the percentage of machines do you know

sounds like about 20 of the tabulators or at least

some fraction of tabulators at 20% of the sites are not working.

And, you know, the elections officials swear that they tested them yesterday.

And it's like,

man, I don't know.

I don't know what to conclude except we have to overwhelm this system.

We have to just have record turnout.

We need everybody to get out and vote, stay in line, make it fun, make it celebratory, make it festive,

bring some tunes, bring some food.

But, man, we need to overwhelm this

glitch, these hiccups.

Yeah, this is the last chance.

Well, best of luck to you, Blake, who's Blake Masters, who's running for the Senate, for the U.S.

Senate in Arizona.

Highly recommend him.

He is going to be instrumental in turning things around, I believe, in Washington, D.C.

Thank you so much.
