Hi, Glenn.

Hey, how are you, Bonnie?

Good, buddy.

How are you?

Oh, I'm great.

I'm great.

We got a great Monday show, right, coming up.

That's right.

Traffic and weather on the fours.

Yeah, don't air.

Every eight minutes.

That doesn't really seem good.

A great Monday podcast for you.

We hit all of the news that has happened this weekend and then some, a few stories that you probably haven't heard.

And we go through all the polls for the Senate and talk about the House races as well.

And your horoscopes.

They're horrible scopes.

Oh, I see what you did.

All right.

Coming up in just a second, first relief factor.

If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer from pain every day, less it up.

Only a couple of years ago, I was in pain.

So pain so bad I could not

make a fist.

I couldn't write.

I couldn't really type.

And I certainly couldn't have painted.

That was about probably four or five years ago.

And I started taking Relief Factor, and I have found relief.

And I just read a testimonial today from a woman who said she was having the same problems.

And she listened to me.

She decided to try it.

And she said, three days in, I can make a fist with my hands again.

That's good, because you might need them.

You know what I'm saying?

It's not a drug developed by doctors, and you can get the three-week quick start to try for $19.95.

70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

You want your life back?

Try ReliefFactor.com.

ReliefFactor.com.

Here's a button.

You're listening to the best of the Blendback program.

There's an awakening going on in the entire world.

And the mainstream media does not, and I include the internet,

they do not want you to know this.

They don't want you to follow, and they're doing everything they can to cover the tracks.

Right now, after the election in

Italy, they're saying fascist return.

Fascist.

It's fascism in Italy.

It doesn't look like fascism.

It looks like the ending of the gods of the copybook headings.

If you've heard me read this before, I'm not going to read the whole thing, but I just want to go through what this is a Rudyard Kipling poem written after World War I,

and he saw the progressives and the Fabian socialists and he's like, look, they're going to do this again because they're crazy.

And so he just wrote a poem about a warning.

And he said,

let's see.

They always caught up with our progress and recent and presently word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice field or the lights had gone out in Rome.

We got that going.

Let's see.

They swore

if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

Is there any

doubt in your mind, if we didn't have the Second Amendment, that guns would be gone in America today?

No, they're trying to do it even with the Second Amendment.

Okay, so let me gone.

He says, but when we disarmed, they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe.

The first feminine sandstones, we were promised the fuller life.

That's what we've all been promised, and they're promising it now, which started out by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife.

Now, think of this.

It ended by loving our neighbor.

Pat,

what was the slogan for gay marriage?

Love, love wins, right?

Love.

It started out by loving our neighbor, ended

by loving his wife.

Where are we now?

We're at transgender

pop-up parties at schools.

We are mutilating our own children.

And the next line in the poem is, till our women had no more children and

men had lost their reason and faith.

Then we were promised abundance for all by robbing Selective Peter to play for Collective Paul.

We're there.

But though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy.

Hey, Stu, how's your car coming?

I will let you know when I see it.

Okay.

Have you thought about offering him more money?

Yes, absolutely.

But that doesn't do any good because it's just still sitting in a parking lot somewhere in Michigan.

Okay.

So you have plenty of money.

But not a single car he can buy.

We are at the last part of this poem now.

We've accomplished, I've been reading this for 15 years.

We are now at the point

where the gods of the market tumbled.

Are our markets tumbling?

And their smooth-tongue wizards withdrew, and the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true.

That all is not gold that glitters.

Two and two do make four.

And the gods of the copybook headings limped up to explain it once more, as it will be in the future.

It was at the birth of man.

Only four things certain since social progress began, quoting the Bible, that dog returns to its vomit, and the sow returns to her mire, and the burnt fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the fire.

So they're going to do it again, and we're going to let them because we're stupid.

And after this is accomplished and the brave new world begins, which is what the left is now preaching, Joe Biden just said yesterday, our democracy, it's a republic.

Our democracy is at stake because what we decide today is going to shape what America is in the next 25 years.

So after all this is accomplished and the brave new world begins, when all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, are we there?

Surely as water will wet us, as surely as fire will burn, the gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return.

That's the only thing left.

And depending on how far down we have gone will mean how much blood will have to be spilled.

Because if they are in total control, they're not going to let go.

And there's going to be millions that will fight for them.

And you won't be able to reason it out.

We've got to reason it out with people.

We've got to double down on all of the things that we know are true.

Don't do it with hate or anger.

Just stand up and say, no, not doing that.

That's not true.

Not doing that.

Just remember what you were taught as a kid.

Sit.

I mean, unless it was hate.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Unless, like, Joseph Goebbels was your dad.

Yeah.

I mean, that would be a bad thing.

You might disregard all of that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So.

So, okay.

All right.

Do you see that the Postal Service is

spying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When did they become a spy agency?

Is our mailmen or like CIA operatives now?

Those are the guys that give the the keys to the car to.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

You know, give the spy.

We ought to know the spy agency who's in the middle of the year.

Hey, who's the most efficient organization in our country?

Who would be a great person?

The post office.

Yeah, the postal workers.

This is

what did Woodrow Wilson do?

Do you remember?

Woodrow Wilson hired 250,000 Americans in 1917 through 19

to

go through people's mail.

If you suspected your neighbor,

he was paying people to go and look at what mail they were getting.

Wow.

Yeah.

Same thing.

I'm sorry, isn't that a federal offense?

Yes, it is.

You get into my mailbox and you're not supposed to?

No, because there were people that wanted to destroy the Republic.

Oh, of course.

Well, special times call for

special

things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

This is one of the times you'd want them to be inefficient, though, right?

Like if you're going to have, if they're going to be spying on Americans and that's your job, you should be as inefficient as possible.

Yeah, I'm for that.

I'm for that.

I mean, I don't want them to do it, but they're the agency I would pick.

Like, I wouldn't want the Pentagon to do it.

You know, like, don't have the Marines spy on people because that would happen.

The post office, they're still like, I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm on a lunch break right now.

I remember back in the early 2000s, though, George Bush did the same thing.

He was, he tried to get the

because they were all over, they're in every neighborhood.

So, you just, if you see something, say something as a post office employee, go ahead.

Our mailmen are supposed to be narcing on their neighbors.

We rejected it.

Yes, we did.

We rejected it.

And we need to do that again, but we don't stand up enough.

And that's when Hillary Clinton came out and said, I'm tired of being told that I'm not American for disagreeing with this administration.

Yep.

Yeah.

God sounded exactly like that.

Exact replica.

But your theory here is that the American people have reached that point, right?

Where they have reached the point where they will push back, they will fight back.

Yeah, I know, I hopefully not fight back.

Literally, literally, I guess we need to be literal with all the people that listen

to pull clips.

Yeah, not for the audience.

Right.

So they all understood exactly what I meant to this show.

I think they are.

I think that more and more people are waking up

and are

standing not together yet, but they're looking at each other like,

can I?

I mean,

maybe we've misunderstood each other.

I think there are people that are starting to do that.

But the thing that I brought up is it just happened in Sweden.

It just happened in Italy.

It's happening in Israel.

B.B.

Netanyahu looks like he's going to be the leader of the biggest party again

in Israel.

Brexit, it happened.

It happened in Canada.

It's happening here.

People know it's the elites.

It's the people

who are in bed.

with big business and big government.

Those two have been pushed together.

And the only ones that seem not to get it are in this country are the ones who warned us about it for years.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

You remember the Democrats how they yelled and screamed about losing their rights under the Patriot Act?

Now they're for it, it seems like.

Now they're for it?

Yeah, they love it.

They love government control now, all of a sudden.

Post office spying on you.

That's perfectly fine.

That's totally acceptable.

You know, we have to ask our friends this.

We have to say,

hey, the Patriot Act,

remember when you were really against it and maybe I was wrong and I was for it?

Why are you for it now?

Because you made a good case and

I decided 10 years ago that that was wrong.

Why are you for it now?

Because it benefits them at this moment.

And that is the answer to everything with the left.

But

friends say that.

When it comes to the leadership, this is the truth every single time.

Correct.

It matters.

It does not matter at all

what they believe about these policies.

It's so clear when they say, oh, I don't want anyone between

the doctor and the patient.

We just, we just, we're just too libertarian.

We can't, we don't want any rules.

Follow the science.

It's like, oh, and then they're mandating everything 10 seconds later.

None of it means anything to them.

It's just whatever benefits them at that moment.

Right.

So I'm not saying that you're going to give a speech and you're going to win or stand up in a big room full of people.

And I'm saying you're friends

that have always been reasonable, that may just be blindly anti-Trump and just say, hey, I just want to ask you, I just want to ask you, because we're friends, we've always been friends, we're family, whatever it is.

And I don't want to start an argument.

I really want to understand

how did you

how do you close the loop on on this?

You've always been against big government and big business getting together.

Can you help me out with ESG?

Can you help me out with public-private partnerships?

Because that's what's happening.

You've always been against spying on people, the government spying on people.

You know, the post office is doing that that now.

The post office.

I think, Tana, remember many of you being against big pharmaceutical companies.

Yeah.

That seemed to be a big pitch.

And you're right.

We have the bank account.

We have the Fed's bank account that not Pfizer, but Moderna has to write a check to every month to our government.

Wait, what?

Did you know that?

I think the biggest thing that you can ask your friends is on this transgender stuff.

Come on.

They probably haven't seen the books.

So you should go online and order a book and have it and show it to your neighbors and say, really?

Because when did you think this was right?

You've never thought this was right.

It's such a hard one to deal with, though, because...

You can't show them in any public.

I mean, buying that book puts you on a creepy freaking list, right?

And having that book in your possession and show, well, it's a creepy list to me.

Yeah, it's not a list that any parent really

thinks it's a great list for you.

Maybe, yeah.

But I mean, showing the pictures that are in this book in any other context would get you arrested.

It would.

Right.

But now to defend this bizarre movement that we're all faced with here, all of a sudden, the only way you can prove to someone, because, you know, there is power in the phrase, I don't want you to be banning banning books, right?

I don't want you burning books.

We've, we've talked about that, we oppose it, right?

But that's not what's happening here.

We're talking about not putting in children's libraries porn and worse.

And, but, with that, you can't make that point without showing what it is.

But if you show what it is, it's, you know, the worst moment of everyone's day.

I recommend you showing to your friends because when they see it, there is no way around it.

You, you have to confront your friends.

And I'm not saying in a bad way, don't get into arguments.

If it's somebody who you think

is kind of questioning it all, get that book, show that book to them and say, how can this is evil?

This is evil.

We would arrest somebody, an adult who showed this to a kid at a park, but somehow or another.

And just a few years ago, we all agreed on that.

All agreed.

Right?

We were together on that.

So I haven't changed.

You have.

Can you tell me what the argument is that changed your mind?

And I can guarantee you, they won't be able to make it.

It won't be Cogen.

And if it's not COGI and you can't break through, you know, okay, got to stop, stop worrying about this friend, because they've already made their choice.

They're happy to live in their own world.

But just plant the seed.

Just plant the seed.

God wants all of his kids to come home.

He wants all of his children, and they are God's children too.

They are just wildly, wildly

hypnotized, quite honestly, by propaganda and the government and mainstream press.

And I include mainstream press as Google and all the rest of them.

Pat Gray Unleashed.

You can hear Pat every morning on Pat Gray Unleashed.

It is here at The Blaze, and then you can find it later in the afternoon, wherever you find your podcast.

you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I reached out to

Rudy Atala, who is the Nazarene Fund chief operating officer.

And I reached out to him because I saw this

video from Iran that purported to be Iranian Christian women warning the West.

And Rudy speaks a billion different languages.

And so I called him and he's also from the Middle East.

I said, do you know anybody can translate Farsi?

And he said, yeah.

And we translated it.

And if you've seen that video, Rudy is convinced that is not

Iranian Christians.

And Rudy, you said because women

Christians would never say those things in Iran.

Is that right?

Yes, that's correct.

It's good to hear your voice.

Go ahead.

Yeah, good to hear from you.

What do you mean that they wouldn't say that?

Why wouldn't they?

Because

it's counterproductive to them.

Christians are persecuted all the time.

The underground church is persecuted all the time in Iran.

We've helped in the past a lot of Iranian Christians.

So I took the video and just ran it by some of my Iranian Christian friends as well.

And they said that the last thing they would want is that much attention.

There's a constant crackdown on them

in the country.

Young girls are raped at a very young age.

They're tortured, they're beat.

So many of them have a hard time escaping, and most stay on their ground, and they practice their faith quietly.

I tell you, I think Christians in America have no idea.

Well, they soon will probably

what real persecution is like around the world, what most Christians go through around the world.

I want to talk to you a little bit,

just get an update on the Nazarene Fund and

where do we stand with those people that

we had over in the lily pad country?

I don't know if we can even say what what country that is now.

Um we can.

We can.

Yeah.

So it was the UAE.

And

where do they where do those people stand?

Are they still there?

Yeah, so for the last for the past year since we did the evacuation, we we moved Personally, we moved over 9,500 people, plus we helped other NGOs move another 3,000.

So a little over 12,000 people.

And from the 9,500 that we were personally responsible for, we are down now to less than 2,000 that are in humanitarian city.

We've had teams on the ground

working with them every single day.

We've never left them.

We've helped them with medical issues, food issues, and on each individual we have a 40-page portfolio

to help with their medical background, with

everything that's required for processing

to final destination countries like Canada, the United States, Brazil, Germany, wherever they were going, Australia, and whatnot.

So

why can't we get them out of there?

Is it still our State Department?

Oh, yes.

The State Department has been a nightmare to work with.

Oftentimes, they'll swing by, they'll go into humanitarian city, and they'll pull people without telling us who they're pulling.

So we have to go back in our database, we developed a database very detailed with each of the refugees that we took care of.

And

we had to figure out exactly who was taken and who was not.

It's been a challenge, but we've been working through it.

And we've had tremendous success.

In fact, we are one of the only NGOs on the ground in the UAE that has not left, but have worked very closely with the host nation to make sure the refugees are refugees are taken care of and are settled in final destination countries.

We gave our word.

We told them that we would.

Exactly right.

Do we, and don't say anything, obviously, you're smarter than that.

I don't have to preface it with that.

Are the safe houses in Afghanistan still up and running?

There are many people left behind and we still support.

That's all I can say.

And yes, sir.

Is there anything that you can tell the audience?

Because I see these.

And if you care to tell any of the

medical

things that have happened, can you talk about any of that?

Sure.

I mean, during the evacuation,

you know, for the audience to know that, you know, we literally ramped up.

We went from zero to 60 miles an hour overnight.

We didn't have a long lead time to prepare for this evacuation.

It came as a big surprise to all of us.

So in the process of evacuating a lot of people, we had to fix or help a lot of individuals with gunshot wounds from the Taliban.

I mean, hang on just a second.

I mean specifically after

the event.

Things that happen at two o'clock in the morning phone calls

yeah yeah we've had we've had some attempted suicides

Afghans that were completely depressed because of the situation they were in

that we had to take care of

we had you know after the fact

we had you know mothers deliver in in in in outside the countries that we took care of

you know after the fact, there were all kinds of medical issues that popped up that we had to deal with directly.

And, you know, thank God, praise God, so far

we've managed to literally take care of every single individual that had any type of medical issue that required our attention.

So, Rudy, we have spent how much of the money?

Because we're keeping all of the rest of the money to finish the mission and fly these other 2,000 and to make sure that we have enough money.

So how much money have we spent of that, what was it, 35 million?

Yeah, so we flew

35 flights,

which cost somewhere between

$600,000 to $750,000 per flight.

So we went over $19 million in aircraft alone.

And then during the evacuation phase, we spent another $8 million in humanitarian efforts, safe houses, transportation, food, medical care, and whatnot.

And then we've also been in the high six figures every single month with all the work that we're doing currently on the ground, not only in the UAE, but also in other countries where we moved individuals with resettlement.

So it's been a significant amount of money.

We've gone through

a good chunk of it.

And

we're still using as much as we can to make sure that we keep

to our word to help every single person we were responsible for.

Good.

Do you have, were we involved in, I can't remember which organization, was it Nazarene Fund and OUR or just OUR that was over in Ukraine?

So it was Nazarene Fund and OUR.

OUR has got a good presence there.

And then Nazarene Fund started in the beginning, but we were primarily more focused on Afghanistan and working on

what we said we were going to do.

It's a frightening time where people, I mean, now there's a kind of a crisis of men leaving Russia.

And do you believe all this?

I mean, I ask you because you've, you know, you were on on the Security Council and everything else.

You have

all of the background to be able to answer this.

What's up with the nuclear talk, Rudy?

Is this just

saber-rattling or is that something we should actually be concerned about with Russia?

We should always be concerned about it.

Of course, you know,

I think at present it's saber-rattling, but,

of course,

when attention is this high, there's always a chance for one side or the other to make a mistake, and then we go down the wrong path.

So

we just need leaders with cool minds and

focused resolve on the issue.

Right now,

clearly Putin

has a lot of problems, but when you put somebody like that back against the wall,

you don't know what you're going to get.

He is a smart man.

is he survived over twenty two years in power, not just because he's dumb or he does things haphazardly, but because he's very calculating and he knows what he's trying to achieve.

Unfortunately, he's been dealt a very bad blow in Ukraine.

He thought he would win it quickly, and he did not.

So now it's escalating because he does want to win.

He's got two options.

One option is to go all in and double down, or the other option is to find you know, a course that would work for everybody and then let him save face.

But I see him doubling down right now, and this is why it's so dangerous.

And we shouldn't see anything real from him until spring, right?

I mean, because of the snows and the rains and the mud and everything else.

Correct.

Except for, you know, I wouldn't put it past him to, you know, to

pull a rabbit out of a hat and do something, something very nasty.

But you're correct in your assessment.

Rudy, as always, really good to talk to you.

And thank you for how prayerfully you approach each and every mission.

You are the reason, really, truly, you are the reason that so many people got out of Afghanistan.

Thank you very much for the update.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, Glenn.

God bless.

God bless.

Rudy Atala, he is Nazarene Fund COO,

our one-year anniversary of getting people onto tarmacs, and still we still have them on the tarmacs in one country.

About 2,000 of the, what did he say, 13,000 or 12,000 that were moved.

We're still taking care of those and we will move them.

That was our word that I gave to the UAE to get them to open up their airport.

You're listening to the Best of the Glen Beck program.

Let's take a look at the upcoming elections.

How are things shaping up in the Senate, Stu?

Very, very closely, Glenn.

Very, very close races.

A lot of toss-up states, a lot of very tight backgrounds.

Can we start with Fetterman, please?

Yes.

Okay.

Is it still really, really close?

Is he still like three points ahead or five points ahead?

uh yeah yeah he's uh how is that possible thank you thank you how is that possible sarah do you have that clip

eagles

are so much better

than eagles

oh my gosh this guy can't function now look

I mean, I'm wondering who's really running the show?

Who is running the Democratic Party?

Because you have Joe Biden, who is, I mean, he's there occasionally, you know what I mean?

Mentally.

He's mentally there occasionally.

Other times, no idea.

Kamala Harris, nah, she's not.

She just blathers on and says nothing.

We have an entire thing at VeepThoughts.com of all of her idiocy.

Right?

Like she's literally a bit.

She continually tries to talk, but can't say anything.

Right.

Feinstein?

God.

They've basically admitted that she's not even doing the job anymore.

Look at all of the people that are in Connecticut.

Koni Pelosi's hammered hammered time, allegedly, when she's making any speech.

Either that or she's just, she just doesn't know what she's talking about.

But I think it's hammered.

And Fetterman's a great one.

I mean, we constantly beat on Joe Biden and his ability to get through speeches.

He's remarkably better than John Fetterman at this right now.

John Fetterman can't speak.

This is a deliberative body.

Can I ask you a question?

And no, no offense

meant here by people who are in this, but I don't want a special ed class running my country.

And that's pretty much what we have in the Democratic Party right now.

People that can no longer think clearly for one reason or another.

Yeah, they're all different reasons.

They're all different reasons.

But

you can't run a country like this.

You can't run a country like this.

And we've seen what happens when you try it, right?

We've seen the last two years.

We've seen the results of what happens when you attempt to do it this way.

It does not work.

You have to ask yourself, who's making the policies?

Who's making the policies?

I mean, I'm asking that rhetorically.

The Taiwan policy is a good example of this.

Who's making the Taiwan policy?

Joe Biden keeps coming out and saying over and over again that

our troops are going to go defend Taiwan if China attacks it.

That's Joe Biden's policy.

And And then five minutes later, the White House and five other organizations within our government come out and say, that's actually not our policy.

It's not, we swear, we swear.

And then Joe Biden comes out and does another interview and says it again.

And then he does it again and again.

He's done it four or five times.

Well, Lindsey, I mean, this Lindsey Graham abortion bill, which we'll get into some other day,

this Lindsey Graham abortion bill, Biden came out and said, it's stricter than my church's abortion.

No, it's not.

No, no, the Catholic.

How could that be stricter than the Catholic is no abortion?

How can you be stricter?

Death!

Death for abortion.

What I mean.

How could it be stricter than that?

No, it's not.

No.

This is just craziness.

So they're going, we're going, I mean, they're trying everything they can to throw you off of the scent of what you should actually be voting for.

No, they're trying.

They are not trying.

They are lying to you.

That's all that this is.

They are lying to you.

Stricter, it's a 15-week

ban on abortion.

After 15 weeks, you can't have abortions.

That's more lenient than France.

Okay.

France is 13 weeks.

This is 15.

So to get people to vote for these clowns, they just have to lie to you.

How

many times do they have to lie to you before you wake up?

Well, in some countries,

they never wake wake up and i gotta i you mentioned the abortion policy so let me just at least

because this is a big abort a big election issue here there's a big story that's happening in arizona right now which is one of the uh the biggest states when it comes to the senate and of course the governor as well in arizona And there's an there's a law from 1864, I think it was, that passed that basically said no abortions for any reasons, except I think there's a life of the mother exception.

And it can be penalized with something,

Whipping.

Horse whipping.

It's not horse whipping.

The border patrol comes and whips you with their horses while she's still laying in bed.

It's something like, I think it's three to five years in prison for someone who facilitates one of these abortions.

Now, of course, we got into the Roe vs.

Wade era.

This law was still in the books, never got repealed.

They never did anything about it.

And now we're on the other side of this.

Roe versus Wade gets overturned.

And they go to the, you know, they run it through the courts.

And the the courts say, yeah, this is still a law.

If you want to change a law, you can change a law, but currently this is the law of the land.

You must apply it, right?

That's how the law works, right?

Like, if you want to, you can repeal a law, you can pass a new law that overrides that law.

Now, since then, Arizona has tried to go through with a 15-week ban, but as of right now, it looks like the law of the land is still this 1864 law.

So

it can't be 1864.

I don't think Arizona was a state.

It was not a state when this was passed.

It was a territorial

Okay, so we go back to literally the cowboy and Indian times.

But this is the law, and this is the way the law works.

And you will not tie your horse up on the door of my saloon either.

Now, of course, what we're talking about here is you'd have to go to California, right?

Like that or somewhere else nearby where you could get your abortion if you needed to get an abortion, if this law were to stay in place.

So this is a back and forth.

The left is trying so hard to make abortion

the entire election here because, of course, they see this as, you know, some of the polling shows that the majority of people are against the Supreme Court decision, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

They only have a couple of issues here they can run on.

One is they think they can run on Donald Trump because half the country doesn't like him.

They want to run on abortion.

That's about all they have, right?

So they're trying to make it seem like, now no one will

lock down when the Democrats have any lines on abortion.

They never have to express their lines on it.

Only Republicans have to come up with their lines on abortion.

Democrats never have to say that they want it all the way until birth.

They never have to do any of that.

Right.

Only Peter Doocy is the only one who ever asked them about it.

Because they don't have a line.

They have no line.

It's not up to birth.

It's not up to birth.

Their opinions are far more unpopular than the Republican positions on this, but the media is assisting them on this.

And so there is a slew of Republicans that are trying to find this middle ground, quote unquote, Lindsey Graham being one of them.

Hey, let's pass a 15-week abortion ban.

I'm sorry.

Did we just spend the last 50 years fighting over Roe versus Wade so that we can eliminate 8% of abortions?

Is that what we did?

I want to make sure I understand.

This whole Roe versus Wade fight all these years was, hey, if it works

across the entire country, we can eliminate 8% of abortions.

May I just ask you a question, though?

The Supreme Court said said the federal government has no role in this.

So it has to go to the states.

So why wouldn't this be overturned as well as unconstitutional?

I think it probably would, especially with this Supreme Court.

But again,

what is the point of winning elections?

What is the point of winning an election?

If you win election after election after election and get all the Supreme Court justices in, and then they overturn Roe versus Wade, and then your big idea is, hey, what if we mess around at the very edges of the fringe and eliminate a few super late-term abortions?

Well, I mean, that's great.

It's better than nothing, but that clearly can't be the reason why you spend a half-century battle to overturn Roe versus Wade.

Obviously, that can't be the end of this, right?

No, because at 15 weeks, we will get better with technology and we'll be able to sell a save children before 15 weeks.

We'll eventually be able to grow them in a jar, okay?

And whether you can save them in a jar or not, it's still life.

Right,

But as it gets closer and closer to being able to just take that embryo and put it in a jar and grow it in a jar, we know it's life.

It's like, you know, it gets harder and harder.

21 weeks.

Now it's 15.

What's it going to be in the future?

This doesn't make any sense.

Average income lost under Joe Biden is $4,200.

Gas prices have risen.

Now this is the sixth day in a row.

And numbers are falling for the Democrats.

But is it showing up at the polls yet?

Yeah,

I think some of the early Democratic momentum pitch that we heard has started to fade quite a bit.

We went through this on Studios America on Friday, did our first sort of chalkboard magnet, all the states break down the Senate look.

So give you a quick picture of this.

The lay of the land before any elections even start is 36 Democrats and 29 Republicans.

That's because all the seats aren't up for election.

So they start with a nice lead here already.

In the likely category, probably not going to change.

There's at least eight races there for the Democrats.

There are 13 races in the Republican side that are likely, not really going to be all that close or competitive, which brings you to 44-42.

Some leaner races.

Leaning Democrat right now, we have Colorado and Washington, which are two states that are the polling's favoring Democrats by a decent amount.

Republicans really like their candidate in Washington, for example.

So there's some reason to watch those races, though they are favoring Democrats.

Also, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, we have in the leaning Democrat.

Now, Pennsylvania, as we've covered, is completely insane if that's the way they go.

They have a man who can't speak as their candidate, but still polling showing him five points or more up in most of these polls.

New Hampshire just finished the primary.

Right now, Maggie Hassan seems to have about an eight-point lead in that race, though that one I could see tightening.

It's been tighter in races before the primary, so we'll see how that goes.

Leaning Republican, five races there.

A couple weird, just sort of weird ones that we have there, which is Alaska.

Alaska has the situation with the ranked choice voting going on,

but it's really Republican versus Republican there.

But then again, one of the Republicans is Lisa Murkowski.

So do you count that?

I don't even know.

I guess it's Lisa Republican.

It's hard to know.

Democrat.

Right.

But she is, how is she performing in the polls?

Because the others dropped out to kind of coalesce around Murkowski's.

I will believe Murkowski gets beaten when it actually occurs.

You know, the fact that this woman ran a write-in campaign for the Senate and won.

She won a write-in campaign for the Senate.

The name goes a long way in Alaska, Murkowski.

It's almost all Democrats voting for her.

I mean, this has really become the Democrats and moderates sort of going that way, where the Republicans are going towards the Trump-favored candidate there in Alaska.

So you're going to get a Republican out of Alaska for the Senate.

It just depends on if it's Murkowski or not, which is a big, I mean, she's one of the weakest Republicans that you could find.

Another weird one, of course, we've talked about a lot, is Utah with Mike Lee, where he is running in a race against an Independent.

There have been some close polls in this race.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

I still think this is a strong Republican state, and I think Lee will win there, but it's closer than I'm certainly, I'm sure Mike wants.

Mike always, I mean, even when he's not running for election, he's like, you know, I got to listen to the people because the people, you know, they could throw me out of office at any time.

And

I think there's a part of Mike that, you know, wouldn't mind.

Wouldn't mind it if, you know, it was like, okay, it's over.

Go make money.

Go do something with your life.

Yeah, that's got to be the feeling of a lot of people.

Yeah, Mike is, you know, I.

But

he takes it seriously.

Oh, yeah.

And look, he should.

This is a new tactic from the Democrats.

I mean, this is what you're rewarding in Utah if you vote for Evan McMullen.

It's a new tactic.

Instead of just running a Democrat, they run a guy who says he isn't a Democrat, but just is going to vote like the Democrats every time.

So

you can have that if you want.

Normally, that's just done under the D banner.

It's now done under the I banner.

And they didn't run a Democrat.

The Democrats dropped out of the race completely and just are letting everyone vote for them.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

And you will see this in every election if it works this time.

Yes, especially in deep red states.

They will try to knock off Republicans by running fake independents in this case.

Missouri is out there as well.

Eric Schmidt has a pretty solid sizable lead.

He should win there.

Florida is closer than I think it should be with Marco Rubio.

Oddly,

most of the polls only have him up by four or five points.

You're kidding me.

Yeah, and this is in a race where, obviously, DeSantis is likely going to win handily.

Val Demings is the candidate in Florida going up against Rubio, who

was mentioned as a VP candidate for Biden as someone thought highly, they think highly of her on the Democratic sign damage?

No, I don't know.

Okay, no, then she's probably never going to have a bad one.

She's never going to be VP on this.

She'll never have a leadership role.

And Ohio, we talked to J.D.

Vance last week.

He's opened up

a lead in most of the polling there.

I think he'll win that race, but still too close to say it's a

likely race by any means.

So that's five.

So basically, what you have there is 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans, if you include the leaners, and five toss-ups for the Republicans to take control of the Senate.

They would need to win four of these five races.

Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Their best hope right now, probably North Carolina, where they have a relatively consistent but small lead there.

Nevada seems to be pretty much toss-up, though Adam Laxall seems to be moving ahead slightly there.

Ron Johnson's had some good polls in Wisconsin lately.

It looks like he might be a slight favorite there.

Arizona has narrowed, though still favors the Democrats, although it's hard for me to understand the polling there.

You see polling where Blake Masters is down by seven or eight points, and Carrie Lake, who's supposed to be the most extreme, crazy person in the world, which she's not, we've had her on the air, but she's running for governor with the same, in the same, you know, with the same voters, and they're saying she's only down by one.

So it's hard for me to understand how Masters would be down eight and Lake would only be down one.

We'll see

name recognition.

And she might be.

She might just be a really good candidate.

And then Herschel Walker in Georgia as well.

The polling has gone bounced back and forth, both very close, really a pure toss-up race at this point.

Oh, geez, for the love of God.

Gotta win four of those five, though.

Get everyone you know.

Dig up your father, your mother, bring them out.

I mean, let them air out a little bit.

Democrats do it all the time.

Yeah, what's the problem with that?

Make sure

that everyone

goes out and votes.

No, no, no, no.
