Hi, it's Glenn Beck, and it's that time of year when the housing market starts to pick up steam.

So, if you have been thinking about selling your home, please know a couple of things.

Interest rates are going up, they're gonna rise the rest of the year.

If you need to sell or you're thinking about it, right now is the time to list your home with realestate agentsitrust.com.

Trust.com.

I started RealEstate Agents I Trust.com because I knew there had to be a better way to sell or buy a home.

And with the market average for selling cycle of six to nine months, you need to get a jump on the rest of the market.

Competition is going to be stiff this year, but with RealEstate Agents I Trust.com, my team has assembled the agents who I trust, who you can trust, who will get the most money for your home as quickly as possible.

At RealEstateAgents I Trust.com, we've taken the guesswork and anxiety out of selling your home.

So put them to work for you now.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestate agentsitrust.com is a Mercury Real Estate LLC.

Talk about home title lock, though.

Yep, let me talk about home title lock.

I had a retired FBI agent in here a few months ago, and they demonstrated exactly how easy it is to steal your home.

And I mean steal your home in a way that is phenomenal.

All somebody has to do is get the right information, which is easy to do, fill out the right form, fake your signature, get a notary to authorize it, and your home is gone.

And people can take out loans against it.

I mean, this has ended up with homeowners being taken out with a SWAT team in Oregon.

It's crazy.

And only one company actually will protect you and can protect you.

That's free right now if you sign up at home titlelock.com.

Knock this this off your list.

It's a big problem.

They don't want to get caught in it, believe me.

Glenn back.

Over the weekend, the Washington Post editorial board continued warning that the stakes in Tuesday's election are much higher than usual, calling it a once-in-a-generation event.

Well,

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I mean, the hyperbole that is being fueled right now, the panic that is just pouring into the engine and igniting over President Trump is out, it's just off the charts.

The left sees tomorrow's election as a lifeline.

And so they have gone on and on and on how this is the most important election in the history of elections.

And let me say this: it is.

It is.

But not because of President Trump.

Not because of anything other than we are in such a precarious position

that we have to decide, are we going to be democratic socialists or are we going to be a constitutional

republic that still believes in capitalism?

That really is what it's about.

Let's stop making it about personalities.

Now, the post says this election is about something more elemental.

What kind of country?

do we see?

What kind of country do we see today?

And what kind of country do we see for the future?

That makes these midterms unlike anything in recent past.

On that, they're correct.

But it has nothing to do with hatred and xenophobia, etc., etc.

Because a lot of that is either spun or an out-and-out lie.

What happened in Pittsburgh had nothing to do with President Trump?

Nothing to do with President Trump.

What's happening on the border really has nothing to do with President Trump.

It all has to do with what kind of country we're going to be, a constitutional republic or democratic socialist.

The election is important,

but every election is important.

People have written to me, and I'm going to get into some of the letters.

Glenn, when are we going to stand up and fight?

You know when?

Right now.

Right now.

You're not going to stand up and fight.

You're going to go into the polls.

And if every conservative within the sound of my voice, if we all go and vote,

we will win.

If you don't,

the left is motivated.

Are you?

The Post claims that it is so alarmed that our nation's values are at stake.

Our nation's values aren't even understood anymore.

What are our nation's values, Washington Post?

What are they?

Because I think they're life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness among those values, those principles, those things that we used to find

self-evident.

I'm not sure if we find them self-evident anymore.

Why?

Because we're talking about, quite honestly, Donald Trump's dumps, you know,

dump tweets when he's sitting in the John at 3 o'clock in the the morning, going, Yeah, this is going to drive them crazy.

We shouldn't be talking about those, we should be talking about our values and not the twisted values that Barack Obama has been out talking about.

Because now he is saying that our values are at stake because this president put broke families up and put them behind bars.

Well, excuse me, President Obama, and excuse me,

press.

I was there.

I saw it.

I warned against it.

I begged the media to pay attention.

And no one would pay attention when this was started under Barack Obama.

So now he's trying to say, oh, see, our values have been destroyed by Donald Trump.

No, they were destroyed long before Donald Trump.

The values crisis.

It's much deeper than the values crisis.

Saturday, there were two examples of this.

On one hand, actor Pete Davidson made fun of Republican U.S.

House candidate Dan Crenshaw of Texas.

Now, this is during a live sketch from Saturday Night Live.

Davidson mocked Crenshaw's eye patch.

He lost his right eye, and so

he made fun of

the lost eye in the eye patch.

And I get it.

He threw a bone to out of the six people he made fun of, he said, just to show you that I'm fair, I'll do one on the other side in a race that was guaranteed to go the governor's way.

He made fun of a guy with an eye patch because he lost his eye.

I know, I know.

He lost his eye in the war or something.

Yeah, it was a bomb blast during his deployment in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, also on Saturday, 39-year-old Brent Taylor was killed in Afghanistan when a member of an Afghani security force opened fire at a U.S.

base in Kabul.

Taylor was

serving there on his fourth deployment in the National Guard.

He was the former mayor of North Ogden in Utah.

He leaves behind a wife and seven children.

Taylor said his life was oriented towards three loyalties, loyalties: God, his family, and his country.

In his last Facebook post just last week, Taylor wrote, quote, as the USA gets ready for another election, I hope we all vote.

I hope everybody back home exercises their precious right to vote.

And that whether Republicans or Democrats, no matter who wins, that we all remember that we have it

far better as Americans than anybody else, and we have more as Americans that unite us than divides us, because united we stand, divided we fall.

God bless America, end quote.

Now,

how can we possibly disagree with that?

We are all talking about the things that divide us, and the only things that matter that divide us are our values and our principles.

And it's time to look at the big ones, the ones we used to find self-evident.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable, unchangeable rights.

And among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And then the amendments to the Constitution.

You have a right to speak out.

You have a right to assemble with people that you want to assemble with.

You have a right to ask your government tough questions.

Because you have freedom of speech, you have a right to ask

questions.

I'm not sure that America even agrees with this anymore.

So much of our life is about choices and perspective.

America finishes making its choice tomorrow.

We would be well served by a lot less hyperbole.

We would be well served by a lot less pointing of the fingers and freaking out over personalities

and a lot more perspective and decency and actual getting up off of the couch and voting.

It's Monday, November 5th.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Good morning.

Hello, Stu.

How are you, sir?

Really well, Glenn.

How are yourself?

Gosh, I haven't seen you in, what, three hours?

We arrived back here in Texas after an electric

performance last night.

Actually, the audience was electric.

I was a little too full of cheese, as I think Stu was last night.

Yeah, we went to what, Melt Bar and Grilled.

Oh my gosh, that is one of the greatest places of all time.

And they will not franchise out of Ohio.

Is that true?

Because I think I really want to make

Texas very much.

I will put my own money to bring them into Texas.

Yeah, me too.

It is one of the greatest restaurants ever.

It's a grilled cheese restaurant.

But when I say that, you're like, grilled cheese sandwiches, I mean, I can make those at home.

Not these.

No, no, not these.

There are crazy combinations and all sorts of mac and cheese.

And then they've got, I mean, the menu took me about a month to get through.

Oh, come on.

Come on.

So good.

You just ordered everything on the menu.

Well, yeah, that's what I mean.

I mean, to eat everything on a menu, it took me a while.

Oh, my gosh.

I almost congealed on stage last night.

If it wasn't for the stage lights, I would have congealed.

We lived on Melt and Hank's root beer the entire trip.

And thank you, Hanks.

Oh, God, I love them.

Tony's awesome.

We did live on Hank's root beer.

And if you've never had Hank's root beer.

Oh, my gosh.

That's Pennsylvania, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Pennsylvania.

is that that's available everywhere and a lot of places oh my gosh it's so good down here in texas it is so good tony and the family from uh the run hanks root beer were there it was awesome big fans we have decided to make them the official soft drink of the glenbeck program i love that yeah i don't know if they do but i love it yeah so okay so let's let's uh

let's take a quick break and then we're going to come back and we're going to talk about the elections we're going to look at the actual numbers um

because the New York Times.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, geez.

Oh, the New York Times last night or this morning has their

The Daily, which is the number one podcast, I think,

in America.

And I listened to it this morning, and I just couldn't take the propaganda.

I couldn't take the

lack of

honesty here and balance.

Last night,

did anybody see?

I mean, you might have flipped by it, maybe.

I know nobody watched it, but the Alec Baldwin show.

Oh, my.

The Alec Baldwin show gave a free commercial to Planned Parenthood.

Cecile Richards.

It was unbelievable.

Can you imagine the opposite happening on network television?

A puff piece interview of the person who head up, was ahead of Planned Parenthood for years and years and years, talking about how mean the other side is to women?

Can you imagine two days before an election?

A puff piece

on a national network with Lila Rose.

Can you imagine that?

With no pushback.

No pushback.

It was unbelievable.

So what effect is this going to have?

Well, we'll see.

I know the left is very excited to go out and vote.

Are you

the conservatives in America, do they still have the passion to go out and actually vote?

You need to because this is a very important election

and we'll give you the latest look and the latest stats when we come back.

First,

let me tell you about American finance.

One in three homeowners now use a credit card to pay for at least part of a home remodeling project.

Now, this is according to House remodeling that app.

A quarter of those homeowners chose credit to take advantage of rewards.

58% scored no interest promotional rates.

Now, it sounds like a good idea, but what's the catch?

Well, if you're unable to pay the balance off before the

interest fees strike, they begin to really add up.

And now you're paying a lot more for that project than you thought.

So before you go and put that on a credit card, consider paying for it with

an upfront help from a cash-out refinance.

Now, with cash-out refinance, your home pays for its own projects thanks to the equity that you've acquired.

And it takes 10 minutes to do this.

All you have to do is call American Financing.

The salary-based mortgage consultants can walk you through the options and will do what it takes to get your new loan closed in as little as 10 days.

So, call American Financing now.

The number is 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or online at AmericanFinancing.net.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Hello and welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

People will ask all the time, in fact, we were out on tour and this was probably one of the number one questions.

How do we fight back?

How long do we take this?

How do we win?

What do we do?

Well, it's easy today.

Today it's easy.

Tomorrow, you take your friends to the polls.

You find those people who perhaps cannot get to the polls and you take them to go vote.

The left does this, except the left does this with buses and big campaigns, and they empty out the nursing homes.

What I want you to do is find those people that maybe live in your neighborhood, who work with you.

You make a pact with them today.

Will you come vote with me?

You find the people who are like, yeah, I'm planning on it, but they're not going to.

You need to amplify your voice.

People say to me all the time, Glenn, my voice isn't loud enough.

Well, we all have our different roles to play.

And I understand that feeling of not having a voice.

I really do.

And I would go crazy if I didn't have this opportunity to have this thing in front of me every day.

It must be so frustrating.

But understand, you can amplify your voice by helping your friends get to the polls tomorrow.

The left is putting everything into this.

The left has gone,

I think, stark raving mad with Trump, anti-Trump mania.

They've really gone nuts

and they are doing everything they can to get every person out to vote.

Well, take it upon your own shoulders.

Tomorrow, if you don't have to work tomorrow, if you could take the day off, you should take the day off and go take people that you know.

Start going through your phone contacts.

Who do you know?

Are they voting?

You should start talking to people in your office today.

Can I take you voting tomorrow?

You should go find the people that you know that are in nursing homes that you know and can't go out.

How about grandma and grandpa?

How about your mom and dad?

Can they get out and vote?

How about the youth?

Can they get out?

Do you know people?

Have you reminded them?

Are you helping them?

We have to do more than just shame people.

I mean, that's shaming people.

You didn't vote.

No, help them.

Help them go out and vote.

That's how we do it today.

That's how we do it tomorrow.

If we haven't done everything to our ability to get people to the polls, and if we haven't got out to the polls ourselves, well, then we have

there's there's nothing we can say.

And it is close enough to where it could go either direction.

Is it not, Stu?

Yeah, it really is.

Really, everything's in play from the Democrats having both House and Senate to the Republicans having both House and Senate.

I mean, I read, I think it was in the New York Times today, that it was

that the House has, I think it's 30 races that are within two or three points.

It's exactly 30, yeah.

In fact, the House is interesting.

Both of these sides, and the reason why you keep, people generally speaking, keep saying, hey, Democrats are going to win the House, Republicans are going to win the Senate, there's a structural advantage to both of these things.

So, you know,

the Senate, maybe we'll go through in a minute.

The House, you were just talking about that with the 30 toss-up seats.

So when they talk about safe seats, seats that are not expected to be competitive at all, in the House, the Democrats start with a lead of 183 to 137.

So that is that's before anything even gets competitive.

That's where we are.

If you take the ones that are just kind of competitive, but most likely are going to fall on either side, you get to 194, 166.

In favor of the Democrats.

In favor of the Democrats.

Remember, you need to get to 218 for control.

Now, when you factor in leaners, okay, these would be races that

they could lose, but are favored to win.

That gets you to 210 for Democrats.

The score of the 210, 195 when you're talking about seats.

And that leaves you what we were just talking about with the 30 seats competitive, which means that Democrats would have to win eight of the 30 toss-ups to take the House.

That is going to be pretty easy to do if

Republicans do not show up.

But it also shows Republicans could win this.

It's not a nothing.

Even these prediction models that are showing 18 to 20% chance, it's still one in five.

It's not, and it's, it's,

they're giving Republicans

less of a chance to win the House than Donald Trump to win the presidency.

However, obviously Donald Trump did win the presidency, right?

We all know that.

So the idea that they could win this, it's certainly possible, right?

But they would have to win, it's messier than this, but they would have to win basically 23 of the 30 toss-up seats.

Not easy to do.

They'll pick off a couple from the Democratic side, and the reverse will happen too.

Correct.

So it's going to be a little bit messier, but it is possible.

The Democrats, you know, one person

put it this way, which I thought was interesting, is Republicans can win all the seats they're favored in and all of the seats up to being down by one point, they would win the House.

They would hold it.

So they don't have to win races that they're down by 10 in.

But again, that assumes not losing any of these tossed-up races, which is almost impossible.

Okay, so here's the thing.

You have to go out, and then tomorrow, join us for our election coverage.

Become a subscriber at the Blaze.

Join us for our election coverage.

It is going to be fun and informative and it starts tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

only on the blanks.

Let me go to Mark in Pennsylvania.

Hello Mark, welcome to the program.

Hi Glenn.

Hey, first of all, I want to thank Sue for leaving a mark on the Hershey stage.

And

then Glenn, I want to know, was that a two-pound Hershey bar and did it make it through the weekend?

That was a five-pound Hershey bar.

Holy mackerel.

five pounds and it almost made it through the weekend

I mean it was a fight it was a fight but it almost made it through the weekend

hey I invited my son when I got the tickets and he was like really I said hey wait a minute you're the one who always says you have an open mind so at dinner that night when his mom asked him why are you going he said well my dad used my words against me

that's great so uh yeah he really enjoyed it uh i don't know if you converted him but he really enjoyed it but we've just had he had two questions at the end there.

One, you didn't mention where you got the actual number of $142 trillion.

We missed who the Do you know where that was?

We should have put a footnote on it, but we didn't.

Yeah, I don't have it in front of me, but we can

look it up for you.

We'll look it up for you.

It's in the book.

I can tell you that for sure.

Okay, well, then I haven't read them.

I've only gotten through the first chapter, so I got to read through the book.

It'll be in the book.

All those stats are in the book.

Okay, great.

And then the other thing, he was like, okay, you talk about how

capitalism capitalism got us to where we are, but when it comes to the AI stuff, you're kind of complaining about capitalism.

I said, well, but we're talking about a way of life here.

Yeah, no, I'm not complaining about capitalism.

Do not fear capitalism.

No, no, no, you weren't.

No, no.

He was about how you're scared of AI and how this is going to, how Silicon Valley wants us to have 100%

unemployment.

Right.

And

I think that's actually a great goal, but we're not preparing for it.

We're thinking in two different directions.

You know, we're thinking, hey, I'm going to bring the jobs back.

Well, somebody in Silicon Valley, in fact, their whole goal is 100% unemployment.

We just have to decide if that's a good thing or not a good thing.

Capitalism is, again, the invisible hand of the market.

And that invisible hand will give you exactly what you want.

So you have to be careful on what you want, what you're asking for.

It could, you know, it can smother you or choke you to death or it could lift people up.

It just depends on what the society is.

So that's why I was saying that we have to be a better society.

We have to be a more informed society.

And we have to be a part of all of these decisions that are going on.

Well, at the end there, you did make us both, quote-unquote, think.

That is, you know, that's great.

Did he walk out still hating me as much as he did when he walked in?

No, he did not.

Oh, that's good.

That's good.

I think he saw you, you know, like I said, you know, I told him, you know, if you listen to Glenn in bits and pieces, you might not get it.

You have to listen to him for a few days in a row or so, like I did.

I didn't get you.

How many years ago have you been on the radio?

Oh, long time, yeah.

Long time.

Yeah, well, after like the first three days, I could never turn my radio off again.

Thank you.

I'm on the road a lot, so I get to hear you a lot.

So I appreciate it.

You bet, Mark.

Thank you.

You know, we used to say, give us 30 days because people, it's a cycle with this show.

If you're a new listener, give us 30 days because everybody hates me at the beginning.

And then after 30 days, you know, you, well, it's a white hot hate.

And then it's about 20 days, it's a white, hot hate.

And then 30 days, you just kind of go numb inside and you just have no desire to turn this channel anymore.

It's our big plan.

It's our big plan.

So give us 30 days and you'll go dead inside.

We say welcome to Mr.

Pat Gray from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup that you can hear

prior to this program on the Blaze Radio Network.

How many days do we need to go numb on your program, Pat?

Do you have any ideas?

700.

700.

That's not bad.

Wow, okay.

You're ready for the election tomorrow?

Oh, man, am I?

It's going to be.

I'm ready for the ads to stop.

I'm ready for the madness to be over.

Do you have sex messages?

I have, you know, the one thing about being disconnected from television, I don't see the ads anymore.

I don't watch network television.

I don't watch cable news.

I get everything online.

So I'm disconnected from all of that crap.

And I am so thick.

That's because you don't watch sports.

The rest of us are too, except for sports.

And so it comes up.

Betto is everywhere.

I mean, everywhere.

Every break on Spotify, it's Betto O'Rourke.

I mean, pay the extra five bucks a month or whatever it is for the premium subscription.

That's what I said to my wife.

I'm not paying extra for the extra time,

please.

I don't want to see Betto anymore.

I don't want to hear him.

If you're not mad enough to pull an extra five bucks

out of your wife's purse, do it.

So it's frustrating.

So is there a chance that these poll numbers are true?

Now, there's the latest poll, and it's, and Stu is our poll expert.

So it's kind of a dicey pollster.

Is that right?

Yeah, I mean, there's, first of all, there's a Democratic poll that has come out.

And when you know it's branded that way, typically they're good results because they don't release them if they're not good.

For Democrats, right?

So

they have the latest poll that came out there was a Democratic poll that has has Betto and Cruz tied at 49.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe that for a second.

However, a nonpartisan poll came out a few days earlier that had Betto down three, which is at 47.

I don't believe that either.

I don't believe it.

I don't tend to either, but there's been, and then the previous poll before that, which is Quinnipiak, a very, very well-known, respected pollster, also had it 51, 46.

Yeah, five.

So a five-point lead.

I think it's going to be over 10.

I think it's good.

I do too.

I think 10 or more.

It's going to be over 10.

I'd be shocked if it, you know, but they have poured so much money.

Well, now he's up to 70 million, and I think he's spending it all.

I mean, it is crazy here in Texas what

people like George Soros.

Oh, you mean the dirty Jew?

No.

No.

What I mean is George Soros.

But every time.

You say George Soros, you mean.

You know what's amazing?

You know what's amazing?

I actually heard out in the same sentence,

you know, people

on the right, they only hate George Soros because he's Jewish, and he is nothing like the Koch brothers.

Wait, wait, wow.

Wait, hold it.

Yeah, you're right.

He does a lot more than the Koch brothers, but we can't say we don't like George Soros's spending of money because we disagree with his policies.

But the left can come out and make demonize, demonize the Koch brothers.

Every day, Harry Reid got up on the floor of the Senate and did just that.

And again, like we've talked about this with the caravan.

They're saying, you know, you're anti-Semite because you're just assuming George Soros is

so ridiculous.

But we have evidence and we've talked about it that he was supporting the first caravan.

Yes.

Also, George Soros, on record in his own writing, in 2016, said he was planning to spend $500 million

to help refugees and migrants, particularly migrants.

So you just have his words.

I mean, again,

that doesn't mean that some of the $500 million specifically went to this caravan, but he has he wrote an op-ed

saying he was going to spend half a billion dollars to support migrants.

Well, it's not incredibly crazy to assume that the biggest migrant issue in America might just be supported by George Soros.

Then we have the project.

Wait, wait.

I cannot let that pass without pointing out the

anti-Semitism

that is coming from Stu.

I apologize.

Is he even a practicing Jew?

I don't know.

No, he's an atheist.

He's an atheist.

So I don't know why.

Oh, my gosh.

Now you're going to dogpile on this helpless old man?

He's spending $500 million on the exact issue.

Show me the proof.

He wrote an op-ed about it.

Show me more proof.

Do you guys see the Project Veritas thing on Beto, on the Beto campaign?

Yeah, a little bit.

Yeah.

It's pretty

compelling, I thought.

You know, a lot of his stuff, and I think we've talked about this in the past.

We're not gigantic fans.

Some of the things he's done have been really good.

And then sometimes he gets into creative editing, and he also, I mean, it's just.

But this looked pretty legit.

I mean, you've got campaign field managers who are talking about the fact that they have donated money to this caravan.

Okay, now the argument is on the other side that this is again creative editing.

But I will tell you this: there is no way to creative edit something where they are saying,

yeah, he is only saying these things because he's trying to get the conservatives.

So he's only doing these things and keeping quiet on this because of XYZ.

Unless, unless the sentence before is, what you're saying and accusing us of is

completely dishonest.

It would be like us coming out and saying

then the phrase.

And that's just not the case.

That's not what's happening there.

That's not the case.

And yet they wrote this article in Media Ike talking about how Cruz is bringing this up, that they might be funding in part the caravan.

And

the spin on this story is O'Rourke has not publicly commented on Cruz's accusation, which he made without evidence.

Well, no, he didn't.

He's got the the Project Veritas video as evidence.

It's just, and they're not doing it.

Nobody's paying any attention to it.

Yeah, I mean, their defense largely is not even to deny that they did this.

Their defense is to say, well, we gave some money to charity.

Yeah.

And, but, of course, you can't just take campaign dollars.

It has to be above board.

There's a lot of process.

Again, I don't necessarily agree with these campaign finance laws, but they do exist.

You have them again on tape saying that they're doing it, multiple people in different situations saying that they're doing it, then saying, we talked to the lead campaign manager.

They were fine with it.

We just don't want the wrong people to find out.

How can you creatively edit that with several people to make that not what they mean?

She also said she's got the texts to prove it that she notified him and that it was okay.

So it seems like you have them dead to rights if they're telling the truth.

On a fun note, you guys probably, being out as you were this weekend, probably didn't see the Queen movie.

Oh, no, it's

really good.

So, really, really good.

I have heard that the reviews, or some reviews, are coming back and saying this is horrible.

And everyone I know

who have seen it, yeah, everyone I know who's seen it said this is fantastic.

Jackie and I loved it.

I loved it.

He is the guy who plays him, he was in

unbelievable.

He was in what's that TV show so good?

Mr.

Robot.

That's the kid from Mr.

Robot.

Oh, that's who that is.

Yeah, that's the kid from Mr.

Robot.

They give him prosthetic teeth, and it makes him look just like I hear he sounds and looks just like him.

He does sound like him because a lot of it is Freddy.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, they had to amalgamate the voice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nobody could approximate Freddy Mercury's voice.

No.

The only problem I had was with, you know, there were some timeline issues where, like,

you know, how when time passes, they'll put up on the screen 1980.

Yeah.

Well, in 1980, they have Brian May writing We Will Rock You, which happened in 1977.

And so, you know, why would they?

I don't know why they did that.

I think they said they did it for time.

And then the other thing, which is kind of big, because it's, you know, the crescendo, he didn't know he had AIDS yet in 1985.

And that's when the big

spoiler alert.

He had AIDS?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Sorry.

How is he doing?

Is he recovering?

I mean, that was a tricky thing.

He doesn't feel very good.

Oh, no.

Okay.

He died.

Oh, no.

Oh, thank you for breaking it softly like that you're welcome okay

that's a real spoiler alert i mean we make fun of glenn but i mean we gave away the whole story

sorry my god they do those they make those weird choices though yeah they do to try to add it's like when you're watching a true story you just want it to be the true story even if it sucks a couple percent of the drama out just tell it the way it happened so pat did they did they cover his i mean did they cover his death No, they didn't?

No.

Was his girlfriend with him at the end?

Yes.

She was with him his whole life.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, good.

Wow, look at that.

He's not spoiling anything.

Shouldn't have said that.

You're in for a big surprise.

I want to say that.

Wait a minute.

He was gay.

That's the big, like, shy malan twist at the end.

Yeah.

Like dudes.

That's the twist.

All right.

Some people are a little upset that they made such a deal out of the gayness.

That's who he was.

That's who he was.

Yeah.

Part of the story.

But it looked like he was hanging out with the village people people his whole life.

Because they were all presented as leatherclad.

But that's

who Freddie Mercury is.

It was the late 70s and early 80s.

If you have a problem with that, then you don't know who Freddie Mercury was, or you want some fairy tale.

I want the real story.

And that's why it was delayed eight years because Brian May and Roger Taylor wanted it to be him.

Yeah, good.

And it turned up.

I found out

on Saturday, right before I walked on stage

that I had to

I had I have to put my dog down today.

We have the vet coming over to put her down and it's just been a hard weekend, man.

We've had our dog for

you know 13 years and

it's Ella that has to be put down and my wife is just I felt so bad being on the road all weekend and my wife was at home and in between shows and

we would talk and it was just really hard it was a really hard weekend for her so i asked for your prayers uh today for the family as we we have to do that i i'm

it's so hard to make that decision and it's so i'm so conflicted when you make that decision and you pray just please take

her please just take her um

and it's just so difficult to do.

And I can't imagine living in the days where you had to yourself go out and take care of it.

I mean, it just, I don't think I could do it.

I just don't know if I could do it.

But we ask for your prayers.

Okay, more on the election

coming up.

We're going to look at the Senate.

Also, what CNN is suggesting that women do to get their husband to vote the right way.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.

Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or

start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters.

If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.

The news and why it matters.

Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast.

Glenn Beck.

The Glenn Beck program.

Election by numbers.

Seven in ten voters say their vote is meant to send a message to Donald Trump.

Why are people so obsessed with this guy?

I don't know, man.

I get that he's president of the United States, but this is America.

We're not supposed to be obsessed with the president 24 hours a day.

Well, you know, they're obsessed with him.

The reason why the left is so obsessed with him is because he is destroying the

fear

that the left has spent decades trying to perfect.

They want you to be afraid of them, afraid of saying the wrong things, afraid of having a different opinion, and he doesn't care.

And that's what's driving them nuts.

He doesn't care, and they can't destroy him.

And

on the outside, it looks like he's the easiest guy to destroy.

But here they have all this fear, and it's worked for so long.

If he teaches people not to care,

they're in real trouble.

The obsession part of this, I think, is odd, just that it overwhelms other individuals, right?

Like, you know, if you really dislike Donald Trump, but you're in Arizona, and you're, let's say, in the middle, you can't possibly think that cinema is a good candidate to run, to be, to be your senator.

She is a freaking code pink level activist.

She's a person who said that Arizona is the meth lab of democracy.

She's a person who's called called people in Arizona dumb over and over and over again.

But wait,

but isn't that the same thing that people like me were saying to evangelicals?

How can you possibly vote for this person when he said he's never asked for forgiveness?

All of those things.

This is the point that

was accepted by the right.

This is just now being accepted by the left, but they are

on policy.

This was about him personally.

And so people were like, I am not electing a priest.

I'm electing a president.

They didn't disagree with him on policy.

What they disagreed with him on,

what you disagree with them on in Arizona is policy.

Democrats should wake up and go, okay, I'm blind from my hatred of Donald Trump.

And I think that the evangelicals sold their soul to the devil.

Well, they didn't disagree on policy.

You hopefully disagree on massive policy and don't even really like her.

You're just voting to stop him.

And that's my point.

I mean, this is not a, people are going to try to make this into a Donald Trump election.

And it does seem like, I mean, you just said 70% of people are saying that that's a big factor in their vote.

But it's, you know, if you look at the individual race, there's two people in front of you.

Who do you think is going to be the better representative of your state?

I can't imagine Arizona actually believes cinema is going to be better than McSally in that state, but it may happen.

It's very, very close to us.

Can you imagine, Stu, how big the wave would have been in 2010 had the media had this kind of support for the Tea Party?

Oh, my gosh.

I mean,

these puff pieces like Betto is getting for

the Tea Party campus.

Last night, ABC running a puff piece on Planned Parenthood.

I mean, it's crazy what's going on.

And they're puff pieces.

Imagine if they would have, if the Tea Party would have had this kind of positive coverage.

And what they didn't.

And look at the giant wave.

Now they do.

And look at the not giant wave.

This is close.

It is very close.

And this is...

The reason why you see all these pollsters are saying they think the Republicans are going to hold the Senate.

Most of them think it's 80, 85% chance they will hold the Senate.

Really, only a quote-unquote blue wave type of election actually gets the Democrats to control.

And the reason is there's massive structural advantages for Republicans in the Senate election.

Without anyone being elected here, these are absolute locks.

42 Republicans, 23 Democrats.

So we go into this election with Republicans having a 19-seat advantage in the Senate.

It's just a matter of fleshing out the rest.

Problem is, a lot of these races are going to go to the Democrats that are undecided.

So if you go at just things that look like pretty sure things, likely,

you know, safe seats and likely seats, you get to about 46 Republicans and

about 41

Democrats.

So they're all going to win, you know, it's states like New York are going to go, and Utah is going to go to Republicans, and we're assuming all these things.

So it's 46, 41, and then you get to the closer races.

In the middle there, you have a couple that look like they're leaning towards Democrats, a couple like they're leaning towards Republicans, and then a bunch in the middle.

So to get to 50, however, for Democrats, they not only have to win all of their safe races and all their likely wins, they have to win their leaner races as well.

That gets them to

43.

So they would have to win seven of the nine toss-up races.

Now one of them is listed in the New York Times lists Menendez as a toss-up race.

I don't believe that.

That is a Democrat race.

I think it's a leaner.

It's not impossible the Republican Republican could win there, but how many times do we have to be fooled by the freaking races in New Jersey as Republicans?

It looks like Menendez is probably going to pull that off.

There's some polling that shows it close.

The other one in there in that group is Cruz.

Now, Cruz has had some polling that has showed him recently up only by three or four points.

But he is still the favorite in this race in Texas over Betto, despite the $9 trillion that Democrats are spending on it.

So if the Democrats can't get the Cruz seat, they would have to sweep sweep all of the other toss-up races.

All of them.

And

that's not likely.

I mean, you really look at some of these races.

Some of them are, I think, Republican favorites.

You know, races,

I think McCaskill is in serious trouble in Missouri.

I think

in, you know, there's a good poll in Florida, although, you know, most of the polling has showed the Democrats slightly ahead.

Scott actually was ahead in one poll in Florida today.

The Indiana race is a complete toss-up.

Nevada is a toss-up.

Tennessee is probably leaning towards Republicans.

If they can just win Cruz and Tennessee, they're going to hold the Senate.

That's likely how this goes.

And they could, after that, everything's gravy, right?

You're going into, they could easily win five, six of these toss-up races.

And in that case, they're going to have a nice hefty advantage to get things passed.

Of course, doesn't mean that much unless you also hold the House.

It's going to be hard to get things through.

So the House has passed so many things that the Senate has just not acted on.

If the House is lost to the Democrats, we need to be on the phone with the Senate on Wednesday saying, pass those bills.

Pass the bills that were been waiting and passed by the

House, because you're not going to get any legislation through with the Democrats in control of the House.

And God forbid, the Democrats in control of Congress, which I mean, in control of the Senate as well.

I just don't think that's going to happen.

That stuff should be in session on Christmas morning.

Yeah.

They should be still voting on stuff Christmas morning.

They shouldn't take one day off until that new Congress arrives.

That's absolutely true.

And I will tell you this.

They are so desperate.

The press is so desperate for this to be true and a blue wave.

Just know this.

No matter what happens, I mean, unless no Republicans show up, this is not a blue wave.

And no matter what happens, unless, again, the Republicans lose everything they're expected to win,

this is nothing like what it usually is.

I'm not even talking about 2000 and

what was it, 2010, that wave with the Tea Party.

I'm talking about what it usually is.

When a president who is very active,

usually they lose the House and maybe the House and the Senate when you get to midterms because Americans just like to have the balance of power and the checks of balances.

If this is close,

that says a ton, not about Donald Trump, but about how ineffective and how out of touch with the American people, their own voters, how out of touch the Democrats really are.

But all of this, all of this is just

gobbledygook.

If you're not out voting tomorrow, you have to go out and vote.

I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.

You have to go out and vote.

I care.

You shouldn't go out and

vote for Democrats.

I say that because that's the American thing.

We have to support everybody.

But I also will say the Democrats are going out and they're bussing every old person in a coma.

It is our responsibility.

Look for those people in your office that vote like you do, think like you do, but are like, I don't know if I get them in the car with you tomorrow to vote.

Call grandma.

Is she going there?

You know what, Grandma, let me pick you up and take you.

Make sure everybody on your contact list that can vote is voting.

And if you have a single doubt, tomorrow might be a good day to have a sick day and play taxi or Uber for everybody you know.

Glenn Beck.

All right, so let's continue our conversation about the election results and then your phone calls 888-727-BECK.

So here are the latest poll numbers and some other facts that you should know going into the election tomorrow.

Yeah, it's interesting.

Talking about the blue wave election, because this is really

the thing you'd fear if you're a conservative or Republican, you want to pass some stuff.

The blue wave is the only way they're losing the Senate.

I mean, unless there's just not, unless things really go the Democrats' way.

And I will tell you here in all these races.

Is it accurate to say, Stu, that here in Texas that the numbers for the Democrats are pretty good.

And same in Florida.

You know, we don't know

how they voted, but the percentage of Republicans and Democrats, it's looking pretty good for Democrats, is it not?

Early voting

is interesting to look at, is also can be very misleading.

You don't know what it means.

The numbers for Texas, Nevada, Florida are all very good for Democrats.

It shows enthusiasm at times.

You can kind of read a little bit into it.

You can also read too much into it.

Think about this, though.

I think it was 2014, about 70 million total people voted.

The last update I saw, and this was two days ago, where 33 million people have already voted.

So we're basically at half of what the entire electorate was last time.

There are some states where early voting has already passed the entire voting period from 2014.

Well, I believe that there's probably some places in America where the voting has already passed the entire population.

That's true, too,

which is not supposed to happen at all.

So it's interesting to see how this is going about.

The message you said right before the break, which is, hey, don't take anything for granted, you can't mean that more than in a place like Texas,

where

you have a situation that the only way Betto is going, or excuse me, Robert Francis O'Rourke is going to beat Ted Cruz is if Republicans don't bother showing up.

We like to call him Bob Frank on this program.

Bob Frank O'Rourke.

Yeah, Bob Frank O'Rourke.

Now, here's the thing.

In Texas, there is that possibility because the other side is so excited about even the possibility of being close.

They don't even have to, they're not excited about even winning.

They would like to win.

They think it's a long shot to win, but they are excited of even being close.

And so many people in Texas think, well, my vote doesn't matter anyway because we're always going to go, you know, we're always going to go red, so it doesn't matter.

No, no, no.

This could go the other way in Texas.

And I'm telling you now, if Ted Cruz Betto is going to be a presidential candidate in 2020.

Assuming he doesn't get blown out here.

Yeah.

But if it's close.

If it's close, he'll be a vice presidential candidate if he's blown out.

I don't know.

I think if he gets blown out, it's not going to mean.

What's a blowout?

I think

he's done.

He's not done.

I mean, he could make a run later later in life, but

this election on its own doesn't get him anywhere if he can't keep it within eight points.

And if he loses by more than four,

he's not going to get a huge bounce out of this.

He needs to keep it.

If he loses this election by two points, he's going to be

big time potential for a vice presidential.

Because they will say, look, he almost won Texas.

He almost won Texas.

Where can't this guy win?

And I don't think it's eight.

I think a blowout for him to destroy him has to be 15 points.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, and I don't think, I don't think that's happening.

I mean, I would love for it to happen.

I would love for the time.

I think it's going to be over 10 points.

I just, I don't see it.

But I'm never good at predictions on these things.

It's tough.

I mean, look at that.

We know I'm actually really good at destroying people's careers when I endorse.

So I endorse Bob Frank.

So let me give you three factors to think about as we go into the midterm election when it comes to whether there's a blue wave or not.

Number one, you kind of mentioned it at the beginning.

Typically, what happens in a midterm election after a president is elected,

everything moves against the president's party.

Very typically, all things being equal, we would expect Democrats to win a decent amount of seats here.

Not necessarily to take over the House, but to win some seats.

The last time this didn't happen was 2002 on the heels of 9-11.

So it is, you know, very, very common that this happens.

Barack Obama got absolutely hammered in the biggest wave election in a century in 2010, and then got hammered again in 2014.

People forget about that.

He did not do well in either of those

midterm elections.

George W.

Bush absolutely destroyed in 2006.

And, you know, it's been this way for a long time.

It's what is expected.

So that's factor number one to consider.

We would consider some normal movement to be towards the Democrats here.

Number two is the generic ballot.

Generic ballot is particularly useful in the House because there's so many races, and it winds up being more of a measure of general climate.

What is the climate we're voting in?

If you look back at the general election and the general

generic ballot between Democrats and Republicans, basically all it asks is, hey, you're voting for the House.

Would you rather have Republicans or Democrats be elected?

The result of that poll leading up to these elections kind of tells the story.

You see in 2006, people were, it was a very pro-Democrat

electorate in the general opposite in 2010 and 2014, it favored Republicans.

And then in 2002, it favored Republicans.

It's the type of thing that kind of gives you a generic prediction.

Right now, we're looking at a Democrat plus seven or eight is about the level of

bad or about the same.

What it would indicate is a moderate pickup for Democrats.

Not a wave, but a moderate pickup for Democrats.

So enough, probably,

if history were to,

you know, if past performance equaled future results, would be probably enough for the Democrats to take a slight edge in the House, would not be an overwhelming wave.

And just a little bit, a little bit, you know, where Democrats don't show up, Republicans do show up a little bit more, could tilt it back to Republicans.

Can you even imagine what Tuesday night, tomorrow night, and Wednesday, and the next 10 days, the next two years will be like for the press if they don't win the house.

Oh my gosh.

And they just or they just squeak by.

They'll turn that into a huge victory, but they'll know.

But if they lose, oh my gosh, the press will,

they may all have aneurysms tomorrow night.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

We'll take your phone calls, 888-727-BECK here in a second, but Stu had a third thing that shows that this is not going to be a blue wave.

It may be close and they may grab control of the House, doubtful the Senate, but it's not going to be a wave.

Yeah, I still think they're the favorites in the House.

But again, when you're talking about a blue wave election that would maybe make them take the Senate, Donald Trump's last approval rating was 46%, according to NBC, Wall Street Journal.

That is just, I mean, it's just too high for a blue wave election, especially when we're talking about people saying, hey,

this is about Donald Trump.

70% of voters think it's a big factor.

To give you a perspective on this, in 2006 was a really bad election for Republicans and George W.

Bush.

His approval rating at the time was 37%.

So the generic ballot points to a moderate victory for Democrats, not overwhelming.

The Trump approval rating does not align.

The partisan advantage doesn't seem to be,

new registrations don't seem to be trending in a way that would be an overwhelming victory.

And remember, a lot of these races that are being counted in the idea that the Democrats will even win the House at all, they are favored in, but it's really close, you know, within a couple of points.

Republicans don't need to win races that they're underdogs by 10 points to get the House.

They just need to perform well enough and pick off a few Democratic seats, Democratic favored seats.

That's all they need to do.

I still think it is possible that they can win the House.

I don't know that they're the favorites.

The Republicans, I think they can still win it.

If all of us call in our contact list, if all of us call the people that we know that should go out and vote, but tomorrow we'll make some excuse and they'll be like, I just got busy.

Oh, I just couldn't do it.

And make sure that they're going.

And I mean, to the point of saying, I'm taking a sick day tomorrow.

And you go pick up those people and you go drive them to the polls.

That, you know, people say, what can I do?

What can I do?

That's it.

Take a sick day tomorrow and drive people to the polls that are on your contact list that you know

and are going to just probably not do it because, oh, my vote doesn't matter or I don't know or I'm too busy or I can't.

Just say, come with me.

Will you come with me?

We're going to go pick up a bunch of friends tomorrow and we're all going to go and then we'll go have lunch afterwards or we'll have dinner afterwards and it'll be fun.

Do that tomorrow.

That will make an impact.

Let me go to Maria in Ohio.

Hello, Maria.

Welcome to the program.

Hey guys, how are you?

Good morning.

Very good.

A little tired from last night.

We were just in Cleveland last night.

Yeah, I know.

I was there and the stupid heckler showed up like right by us.

And we're like, now you show up.

We were waiting outside.

Like, where are all the hecklers?

We really wanted to engage and talk to some people.

So wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.

Can you tell me?

Because last night we had a heckler and it came in the weirdest part because I was talking about, you know, how we can come together and what brings us together.

And this heckler stands up with just vitriol and starts calling me all kinds of names, including Oral Redenbacher.

Orville Redenbach.

I was dressed as Colonel Sanders.

I mean, how did you miss that?

And can we point out the obvious with Orville Redenbacher?

He's skinny.

He's way too thin for you.

There's no, it's just not you.

I mean, his hair, sure, it doesn't make any sense.

So we were talking after the show.

What set this guy off?

Was he in there next to you the whole time?

No, I mean, he just showed up.

Well, we're listening to everything you were saying.

All of a sudden, you hear him.

And I'm like, wait, did I hear that right?

My son's sitting next to me and he's just going off.

And he has this big can of beer or something in his hand.

And I'm looking at him going, what an idiot.

I'm like, really?

I go, well,

just like you said, you waited through the whole show to finally say something.

Maybe you learned something.

I go, maybe maybe he didn't because he was calling you Orville Redenbacher and said it's Sanders.

I'm like, you're a bonehead.

Yeah, he was

very bad.

It was almost a, it almost felt like in future shows, we should plant someone to do that at that exact moment.

Because

nothing could have made the point you were making better than some idiot standing up and calling you.

Yeah, because I was talking about we can't be like they are.

We can't just yell stupid stuff at each other.

It almost felt like a setup.

Yeah, it really did.

It was so perfect.

Well, you're just stupid and you look like horrible Randenbacher.

I didn't even know what to say.

I was just like,

okay, thank you.

That's a good point.

It was a good point.

Good point.

And especially the way you made it.

Maria, thanks so much for being there.

Patty, also in Ohio.

Were you at the show last night, Patty?

Yes, actually, we had front row seats for that last night.

Nice.

Nice.

Yeah, I'm actually driving back to Michigan this morning.

I'm from Michigan, but we drove to Ohio for the show.

I think I remember you were with your daughter?

My daughter, Sydney, yes.

Yes, I remember you

yesterday.

We were at the meet and greet together.

It was nice to meet you.

What did your daughter think about you?

Actually, one of her favorite parts was the bucket of pierogies, if I'm being honest.

I discovered that it's the secret is not the 12 herbs and spices or 11 herbs and spices of the kernel.

It's that it's food in a bucket.

And so we just put, we filled it with pierogies.

And

I was kind of happy and yet kind of disturbed to find out that the two buckets of pierogies that we handed out to the crowd last night were completely eaten.

All of them eaten.

All of them.

Yeah, everybody shared.

Everybody took one, was really nice and respectful.

Passed it on.

Right, right.

They were sitting backstage for like two hours prior.

They had to be cold.

Patty, what she enjoyed it anyway.

She enjoyed it.

Good.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

All right.

Thank you.

God bless.

We are going out again.

This time we're going to be doing a Florida tour, and I think we're in Tampa and Orlando in a couple of weeks.

And

it's a fun show.

It's a really fun show.

And

I can't thank you enough for

being who you are.

I just thank you.

I know that's really nice to say.

And I appreciate you.

Not you.

I went hating you and I left hating you even more.

But

the audience is so great.

They are.

And

it just, it restores your hope in people.

It really does.

Yeah.

Really restores your hope in people.

Yeah, I forgot how much I liked doing that.

That's a lot of fun.

It's pretty interesting.

It was a great time to do it, too.

We're a few days before the election.

People are fired up,

and there is a lot to talk about.

I don't know.

I really don't know what's going to happen here.

I mean,

you could talk about, there's not an obvious thing.

I mean, I think a lot of times back in 2016, most media sources treated it as fairly obvious Donald Trump was going to lose.

And he was definitely the underdog in the race.

Here, I think they're a little more hesitant because they're scared to get one like this wrong again.

They don't want to predict.

I'm telling you,

they will, I think some will be institutionalized.

The members of the media, if they don't pick up the house, I think they will.

Can you imagine?

They are going to be full on America is just a racist country.

I mean, they all may move to Canada, which would be a dream come true.

I mean,

they won't know how to deal with that.

They've spent the last

three years, really, but for sure the last two years doing everything they can to demonize the right, to demonize

the president, to demonize everything that is going on.

And if

I mean, if they were honest,

they would know that they've already lost because this should be, if those things were true about Donald Trump and America, this would be a runaway election for the Democrats.

But the Democrats are so unhinged.

And things like Kavanaugh and Democratic socialism, where they're saying, you know, capitalism's not going to be here forever.

No, thank you.

Yeah, I mean, you'd think if they get this one wrong.

And again, they are, to be fair, they're saying the Republicans are going to hold the Senate, too.

So we don't know what part of the situation is.

If they lose the House,

if they don't pick up the House.

A rational person would look at what their approach was and why

it didn't work

from their personal thing.

And stop doing the same thing.

And I don't think that they're capable of it.

I don't think, you know, Jon Stewart, who I'm not a fan of, but Jon Stewart made a really interesting point, and I think it's true, in that these fights between the media and the president, the media likes because to them, it elevates them to the level of the president.

They get an ego boost because I'm taking on the president one-on-one.

And so

they keep going back this well of just fighting with him and trying to just argue these points and their complete life obsession with everything this person is doing.

There is, I will tell you this, something.

As somebody who was taken on by the Obama administration, and I mean, we knew they had, we had their attention every day at five o'clock.

We knew it.

And it is, there is something about that feeling of

they're watching, they're watching, they're reacting, and it, it is,

bad for an ego.

I mean, I mean, it's good for an ego unless you want to try to keep your ego under control.

It does a lot to say, I am super, super powerful.

But if you'll notice, I left Fox.

I left Fox.

Why?

Because

the things that are

happening

were not making the impact in 2012.

Or was it Yeah, 2012 when he was re-elected,

it obviously didn't work.

It obviously didn't work.

Now it held some things back at bay, but it didn't work to change people's minds.

They were just hardened in their positions.

They're just hardening people in their positions.

And in fact, I think they're actually bringing more people over to the president's side than

they're hurting him.

I think that's true.

I don't think they're winning anybody over with the way they're doing this.

Like the the way they treated Kavanaugh, the way they treat Donald Trump to wear the Pittsburgh shooter.

The guy hated Donald Trump, hated him.

And for them to say, well, that's Donald Trump's fault, they make absolutely everything.

If somebody is diagnosed with cancer today, it will be Donald Trump's fault if it rises to the level of CNN noticing it.

I mean, absolutely everything.

And Americans at the core are fair.

They don't like bullies.

And so they may not like Donald Trump because they may think he's a bully.

But they see this dogpile that accuses him of

everything.

And they don't like it.

And it's driving, I think, more people to defend Donald Trump.

We certainly saw a bump in the polls after Kavanaugh because of this, I think.

You know, Kavanaugh, after the Kavanaugh thing happened, and remember, this is a point where the media was telling us, well, if Kavanaugh goes through like this, the American people are going to turn.

They don't want some rapist going through to the Supreme Court.

They're going to turn on Republicans.

First of all, we're seeing, of course, all these women now coming out and saying they were lying, which was

Friday or Saturday.

Another one came out and said, I made it all up.

We were on the air saying, we have to account for that.

None of us want to believe that, but it is possible.

Now look at it.

There's one left.

One left, and again, the one with no evidence, but there's only one left that hasn't basically admitted that they were lying or fudging the truth.

away from the not even basically the one Friday admitted she lied admitted she lied two of two of them have come out and said specifically they lied they did not tell the truth there's been two others that you know said they had sources and those sources said no that didn't happen um so we there's only one left the one that testified that said hey you know i mean even the press is now coming up and saying you know what they're saying now about the avenati accuser oh no one no one ever believed that then why did you report it over why were you reporting it all the time and acting acting like it was true at the time?

Oh, my gosh.

I mean, it's infuriating.

But that bump, that bump, that initial reaction, the emotion after Kavanaugh in a lot of the polls has faded back.

You know, when that happened, you saw Tennessee become a double-digit race.

You saw Texas with Cruz become a double-digit race.

That effect has faded.

I mean, the votes tomorrow are really important.

If you think your race is locked up because you've seen a double-digit poll where your person is leading,

you can't take it that way because it's not that environment.

And these races are going to be close.

Yep, every single one.

And we're going to be covering them beginning tomorrow at 6 p.m.

All right, as e-commerce continues its explosive growth, so do fishing scams.

Recent report says the last year there has been a 297% increase in the number of fake retail websites designed to fish for customers' credentials.

That's amazing.

300%?

The cyber criminals use your IP address and then they get your credit card and they use it as a shipping address from

each of them from a different country and they pull off these phishing scams.

And you need somebody to find out how can I stop it.

Welcome to the program.

We're so glad you're here.

We have Dan Crenshaw on with us next.

He is a guy, the course, that was made fun of by Saturday Night Live.

He's running here in Texas.

And they thought it was funny to make fun of his disability.

and I love the way he has handled this.

He's like, I don't need an apology, I don't want an apology.

It was in poor taste, but let's move on with our lives.

I love that.

And he made the point to say, you know what, we got to get away from this.

Everybody demands an apology every time someone makes a joke or says something stupid.

I love that a guy, it would be so easy a couple of days before an election for this guy to try to take advantage of the situation and

say, I can't believe my, you know, and play it up, play the victim.

No, but he has victims.

Every reason to

He has every reason.

And righteous indignation.

He lost his eye serving his country.

He's freaking out.

And they mock him.

He's not playing the victim card.

I know.

I love it.

That's why I love it.

I don't know anything else about him.

We haven't talked about him at all, but I just love the idea that he's not playing the victim card.

All right, so he'll be on in just a few minutes.

Also, tomorrow.

If you can, take the day off tomorrow from work and go through your contact list and call people that you know should be voting but might make an excuse and take them to the polls.

Make it a day.

Glenn Beck.

It's Monday, November 5th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So we talk about comedy a lot here on the program because comedy is really, really important.

Laughter is important.

We have to be able to make fun of each other and fun of ourselves.

And honestly, if you can't make fun of yourself, you should not be making fun of other people.

It is a great coping mechanism and one of the things we need.

And it's quite honestly why people like Jim Gaffigan are doing so well right now because he's not using comedy as a weapon.

He is allowing it to be a release.

All too often, it is now turned into a weapon, and all too often it is aimed at conservatives.

Saturday Night Live is a great case in point.

Last Saturday, but really it's the last decade or so, the problem with SNL's so-called comedy is that it's not funny.

It's always not been funny.

They've never known how to end comedy bits.

That is traditional.

And only once in a while, some seasons, have they been funny?

But that was before the invention of what I like to call claptor.

It's not laughter.

It's, oh my gosh, that is a great point that makes me feel like I'm so very smart.

Many left-leaning people talk about SNL skits, and they don't laugh.

It's not enjoyable in that way.

It's clapter.

I'm superior.

Oh, yes, that's what everybody thinks.

Well, this weekend offered the perfect example with Pete Davidson's clunky segment during weekend update.

He gave impressions of some of the

candidates.

And, you know, look, if you can make fun of yourself, you can make fun of others.

But is there a line?

I say as long as everybody is in on the joke, you can make jokes.

But the left would tell you never, ever, about somebody who has any kind of condition or handicapped or difference.

How dare you make fun of that?

Well, Texas congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw, who is a Navy SEAL, did five tours of duty.

He wears an eye patch now because he lost his right eye when he was hit by an IED blast in 2012.

He was medically retired.

He has two bronze stars, the Purple Heart and the Navy Commodation Medal with Valor.

So after they make fun of him for wearing an eye patch,

no class.

Let me play for you how Mr.

Crenshaw showed all class in his response.

I want us to get away from this culture where we demand apologies every time someone misspeaks.

I think that would be very healthy for our nation to go in that direction.

You know, we don't need to be, we don't need to be outwardly outraged.

I don't need to demand apologies from them.

They can do whatever they want.

They're feeling the heat from around the country right now, and that's fine.

But I would like him and Saturday Night Live to recognize something, which is that veterans across the country probably

don't feel as though their wounds they received in battle should be the subject of a bad punchline for a bad joke.

And here's the real atrocity of all this.

It wasn't even funny.

No, but it did get clapped or Mr.

Crenshaw joins us now.

Hello, Dan.

How are you, sir?

I'm doing well.

Thanks for having me, Glenn.

First of all, thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

But let me talk a little bit about,

were you watching Saturday Night Live on Inappen?

Well, I don't make a habit of watching Saturday Night Live, so I did not

see it, but I did get a lot of text about it in the morning.

Right.

So every single one of my Navy SEAL friends wrote to me and said, you have to take this on.

And I went and I watched it.

And

it just wasn't funny to make fun of somebody who lost and to take it so flippantly, say, I don't know, he lost his eye in a war or whatever.

I just don't think it's funny to do that on either side.

However, what I was really impressed with is the way you responded.

How come you responded this way when you had every reason to have righteous indignation and use this for your political gain?

Well,

you know,

I simply responded the way I actually felt, which was

a little exasperated by the whole thing,

a little annoyed because

I have been watching these shows like Saturday Night Live and a lot of the late shows really deteriorate into

simply political platforms as opposed to good comedy.

And so you mentioned your SEAL friends, you know,

SEALs have pretty thick skin, right?

And we like to make fun of each other.

But there's always been sort of a lie.

This is the conversation I always had with my friends.

I'm like, hey, you know what?

It's fair game, but it has to actually be funny and it has to actually be original and witty.

And this just went far beyond that.

I mean, the first part of what he said was just kind of strange, frankly, didn't make sense.

But it was the last part where, you know, lost it in war or whatever.

That's, listen, I don't have to be offended by that.

I don't have to be outraged by that.

That doesn't mean what he said isn't offensive, right?

Because it's not just me I have to think about.

I do have to think about all the veterans who are disfigured from war and now feel like they're fair game for just, you know, roaring laughter from the crowd.

I thought that was a little strange.

And I think a lot of us veterans are just looking at that and thinking, well, why is that funny?

You know,

we truly, we just don't see the joke.

You know, just be funny.

Be funny.

Do your job and be funny.

Like, put some work into it.

It's supposed to be an art.

But they're not.

And that's the real tragedy here.

I will tell you that I have a lot of veteran friends who, to make others feel comfortable, make fun of their their lost limb or whatever, and they go out of their way.

And it's usually very funny when they're making fun of it.

And so it's not a lack of a sense of humor on it.

It's just an appropriate sense of humor on it.

And, you know, for instance, we always say in our family, you know, we wreck each other hard, and it's a sign of love in our family, but We don't wreck people that we don't know.

It's not like you're coming into our house and we just start wrecking you.

You have to be kind of part of the family and

be loved if we're going to wreck you in that sort of a way.

Because we know you'd wreck us just as hard for whatever it is we've got going on in our life.

Well, I think there's a basic social etiquette that kind of keeps our country together.

And, you know, we're seeing that fraying quite a bit, that social fabric and

basic manners and basic etiquette.

And this is just an example of that.

play can I play devil's advocate on that what would you say to the the people at CN that at CNN or SNL that might respond and say oh really it's etiquette well what about Donald Trump oh that was actually that was actually where I was going with this point and that that's that is the counter argument constantly and I'm seeing it all over Twitter

I I'm seeing that coming from the left they say oh well Trump and the response to that is what on earth does Trump have to do with a conversation between Saturday Night Live and myself?

You know, I mean, it's just, it's wholly inappropriate.

Two things can be true at once here.

All right.

Some things the president said might have been inappropriate.

Also, this is inappropriate.

Two things can be true at once.

It's okay to say that.

You don't have to do whataboutism on this.

And they're making themselves look bad by trying to claim that somehow this is the president's fault.

I mean, what else can we blame the president for?

I mean,

it really does become a very ridiculous conversation at some point.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So you have been a crazy candidate.

From a field of nine candidates, you won by 155

votes.

Then in

the runoff, you won with 70% of the votes.

You're running for Ted Poe's seat in Congress.

He's retiring.

You've kind of come out of nowhere here, and you're not getting any of the bedo coverage.

What is the message that is connecting with people?

Well, that's a good question.

Yeah,

we've running almost a year now, and we barely made it into the runoff.

Texas primaries are very early, and we just came out with just 155-point vote margin.

I think what people like is the fact that I talk to them like they're people.

Politicians get a little bit too wrapped around political talking points, and we forget to explain why we believe what we believe.

We forget to explain a few layers deep, maybe because we think we'll get misquoted, or maybe because we think voters can't take it.

Well, they can, and they do want to hear it.

They do want to hear a little bit more deeper reasoning on why we believe entitlement reform is important, or how we're going to fix the flooding issues in Houston, or how we're going to keep our nation safe.

They appreciate an ability to articulate conservative values in a way that is persuasive and convincing,

and will grow our base as opposed to just talking to ourselves constantly.

So I think they like that.

And the other thing I really like to do is go from

either play video games or not answer your phone.

I'm not sure what that is.

That's okay.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I like to do retail politics.

I like to just go find people

where their lives are happening, whether they're having a beer or having dinner, and we just go talk to folks.

And in the end, politics politics is not all that complicated.

In the end, you just have to connect with people and

know inside yourself why you're running and be able to express that to voters.

Why are you running, Dan?

What is it the thing that drives you?

What's the thing that keeps you up at night and says you have to go to Washington to this cesspool?

Because why?

Well, so I'll give you two kind of forms of answers to that.

You know,

from a policy perspective, for the Houston area, it's flooding infrastructure, it's border security, it's economic freedom, it's entitlement reform, it's getting control of our debt.

Okay.

On a more deeper, maybe philosophical reason,

I have the sense, and I think it's backed up by reality, that the Republican Party is losing the next generation.

And I don't feel like we're articulating the why

about what we believe very well.

I don't think that we're articulating how important foundational principles are.

I don't think that we're articulating that our approach to government, this idea of limited government and local control and responsible and sustainable spending, a sustainable role of federal government.

Those are the ways that we should be explaining, like, this is how, this is the principles behind why this policy makes sense.

Don't start with the policy.

Start with those principles.

It helps people understand where we're coming from.

It helps the left understand that we're not, in fact, evil.

We do have hearts, all right, but what we actually believe in is a sustainable way to govern, and we believe in putting the maximum amount of control at the local level.

That's what it means to be a Republican.

And we frame all that within a system of virtue.

And I'll steal Dennis Krager's line on this, and what a conservatives stand for.

Just look at a coin.

E pluribus unum.

We don't believe in dividing people up in tribes.

Liberty, we always ask the question, is this giving us more liberty or less liberty?

And then we frame that within an in God we trust, because we know we can't have perfect liberty without a moral foundation.

That moral foundation is found in God.

Dan, I really like you.

I really like you.

I'm expecting that you are going to win.

May I make a recommendation to you?

People go to Washington all the time and they lose their soul.

And I can tell just talking to you that you have a pretty firm grip on that.

May I make a recommendation that you make a declaration to yourself that maybe only you and your wife see, and you really think it through before you're sworn in,

and you check it from time to time, because people go to Washington and they start making compromises and excuses.

And what you just said about our principles and our values and our founding

foundation, everything that we're built on, the Constitution, the Declaration, and the Bill of Rights, we have a lot of people in Washington that don't actually defend those things now, and I don't know if they actually even believe them anymore.

Please write down what you really believe and check it from some time, and write on there, too.

Don't make excuses for yourself, Dan.

So you're scolding your future self in case you start to go awry.

I like that approach, Glenn, and I respect you a great deal, and I think I'll follow your advice on that.

Thank you, Dan.

I really appreciate it.

I wish you all the luck tomorrow.

And thanks for being cool about Saturn Live.

We don't need more victims.

No, we don't.

That's exactly right.

I never see myself as a victim.

I appreciate you having me on.

Thank you, man.

I appreciate it.

I've never met a SEAL that does see themselves as a victim.

That's great.

Yeah, I love it.

All right, he's Texas' second congressional district,

and he is trying to take over for Ted Poe.

The vote is tomorrow

Since about a year before I left Fox, I have been having medical issues, and

there are several things that happen, but one of the things that

has remained the whole time is pain.

And

it's sometimes excruciating.

Last night on the flight home was kind of an excruciating night.

I don't fly well.

And

so I got to the end of my rope, really, last, what was it,

last December.

And I was talking to my wife, and I'm like, I can't live this way anymore, and I don't want to take drugs from the doctor, but I just can't do it anymore.

And we started taking relief factors.

She said, you take it, I'll take it.

You have to take it three times a day.

And I am telling you, I tried it for three weeks.

That's what I said.

Because I didn't, I, you know, oh, it's all, you know, it's all natural.

Oh, then it's not going to work.

That's kind of my attitude.

This was created by doctors, and it helps fight your body's inflammation, which is where most of our pain comes from.

I made the deal I would take it for three weeks.

If it didn't say anything, I'm not going to take it anymore.

Well, 70% of the people who take the three-week quick start go on to order month after month because it works just like it worked for me.

I am most days out of pain.

It is, it's a miracle for me.

You owe it to yourself if you are in pain, just to try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work for you, well, just check that box.

You've tried.

But if it does, you get your life back.

Try it.

Okay, so for anybody who's been asking for an interspecies breeding film, a horror movie,

you know, that's

we've got it for you.

And it's made by a candidate, a guy who is running for a seat on the board of education tomorrow.

His name is Edward X.

Young, and he is the star of the soon-to-be released Bigfoot Blood Trap, what's being described as a ultra low-budget horror movie that was made

last summer and is

becoming kind of controversial now.

Yeah, you know, when you're running for office, you don't typically put together a project like this.

Right.

He said, we were thinking about doing a horror movie.

Ed said, you know what would be great is if we had a horror movie about Bigfoot and people trying to have sex with Bigfoot.

The film's violent sexual content

has

people warning now.

Maybe Young isn't the guy that should be making decisions for children.

Now, where are they getting that from?

Does the article go into depth about why someone would come up with a thought like that?

Well, it says in Blood Trap, he plays a cryptozoologist named Dr.

Corman.

The film opens with his family being slaughtered by a Bigfoot after his wife attacked

its offspring, Littlefoot.

Bigfoot spares Corman's life only so he can abuse him.

We're four minutes in, the reviewer says, We're four minutes in, and this film already is causing me to rethink my career and life choices.

He said the

film producers said the international distributors insisted on an opening with the film

either involving a killing or a lesbian sex scene.

One of the two.

One of the two.

In order to, quote, guarantee that it would be appealing to foreign audiences.

That's what foreign audiences want.

I know.

Killings or lesbian sex scenes.

That's right.

Those are the two things.

So he said, quote, I figured, let's do a killing in a lesbian sex scene.

This is the sort of problem solver you might want on your school board.

So two heavily tattooed women are shown filming their own erotic encounter on the floor of the forest.

And

of course, they have brought a high-powered rifle with them just in case.

Well, I mean, if Bigfoot or Littlefoot comes by, you're going to want the rifle.

Or maybe it's not good for them.

You know what I mean?

And one shoots the other.

I'm not sure.

But they do have to shoot Bigfoot's fur baby.

And they find out quickly that that only gets your guts ripped out as you're naked running through the forest by a really cheesy-looking Bigfoot.

Well, I mean, that's Bigfoot's a parent, you know, just like many of us, and you've got to defend your kids.

Right.

So now, years later, we meet the now grown-up Corman,

the scientist at the beginning, now in a wheelchair.

courtesy of his encounter with Bigfoot, and he informs a TV reporter of his desire to conduct experimental cross-breeding cross-breeding of humans with the creature.

About time.

So

he in the wheelchair and a young woman and her idiot brother

and various uncles capture Bigfoot and they go into business in hopes of getting rich

by having sex with Bigfoot and making little half human.

And then it says, this is where the movie gets super dark and offensively nuts.

This is where

hey, elect him, New Jersey, for your school board.

Jack Mercury.

Jack has written me.

I'm not going to use his last name.

He's just a listener of the program.

And he wrote, Glenn, I don't expect a response for you or for this even to be acknowledged, but I'm writing for my own peace of mind.

Jack, I try to respond as much as I possibly can, especially to those who disagree with me.

He said, I appreciate your efforts at promoting unity and civility, but I too despise blessed

media biases.

The only way we can truly combat bias is with facts, reason, and rationality.

Otherwise, we'll find ourselves jumping to conclusions and taking people for their word when they don't deserve the credibility.

I agree with this so far, Jack.

The most salient example of this bias, however, is your handling and interpretation of the events surrounding this migrant caravan.

Based off of statements made by Mike Pence or on October 24th, you passed the buck and spouted out more of the same baseless disinformation that is consistent with bought social media accounts.

To call this migrant caravan an invasion echoes conspiracy theorists.

If it isn't coming from someone with a racist bent, which I don't believe is where you're coming from, then I don't understand.

Integrity in the media involves exercising your best judgment and not being afraid to offer any input when you are not an expert.

This involves being honest with yourself and knowing if and when you're lacking access to a bigger picture.

I don't claim to have all of the facts, but I do know enough to see that your claims come from so little information, which are already baseless, that they indicate you completely lack any level of journalistic integrity.

Wow, Jack, there's a lot to unpack here.

So

first of all, I did call this an invasion, but I called it in the way of what else would you call this?

Because they are marching at the time 7,000 to 14,000 long.

How many miles is this thing now?

They're saying it's 300 to 500 miles.

Okay, this is a massive influx of people.

Obviously not all consistent consistent people for that long.

They're just saying that they're spread out that far.

Okay, so it's a massive group of people.

They are coming here with the expressed intention of breaking our law, of crossing the border, whether we want them to or not.

If you saw how they tore down the fences

between Honduras, is it Honduras or Guatemala and Mexico?

If you saw the way they tore down the border fences, you know that this is not just a group of helpless migrants.

There are many good people in this, I'm sure, but we're not going to be able to sort them out on our border if they come across as they did into Mexico.

It's not the right thing.

When I said invasion, what I meant was that what do you call 7,000 people carrying a foreign flag saying that they are going to cross the border into another country when that other country is saying don't do it and deploying military.

What do you call them?

It would be an invading force.

They are invading us.

Now that sounds like they're coming with guns and everything else, but I'll get to that point here in a second.

They are not coming with guns.

And I don't like the term invading force, but I don't like the migrant caravan either because this isn't a group of migrants that are caravanning.

People are trying to make this sound as if there is no coordination with anyone.

It's just a bunch of people that got together and said, hey, let's go do this.

We know that that is not true.

Now, you say that I have no facts to back this up.

That is absolutely not true.

The facts are that the

president of Honduras that was removed constitutionally, now that is an argument if you're on the left or the right, but two branches of their government found the president to be unconstitutional.

He was about to suspend the Constitution and make himself a dictator exactly the way Hugo Chavez did.

The Supreme Court of Honduras said, you've got to remove this guy.

He is acting in an unconstitutional way.

And so they did.

They kicked him out of the government and out of the country.

What happened?

His Marxist revolutionary friends in a pact with Venezuela and Cuba all documented.

They

were holding together because they were trying to build kind of the United States of South America under a Marxist kind of

dictatorial rule.

When he left, that meant the end of that compact between them.

They all need him to be restored.

So these are revolutionaries in Honduras that blame America for their problems.

They are a group that has tried to cause chaos in Honduras.

They are trying to cause chaos because they want their government to fail to reinstate a guy who wants to be the dictator of Honduras.

That is all verifiable fact.

Now,

I was told by two sources

that Venezuela was

funding that, that they had money in that.

I believe that's reasonable because of

the pact that is verifiable.

We know they did this.

We know that it will help Venezuela if

Honduras goes the way of Venezuela and Cuba, politically speaking.

They need each other.

So it makes perfect sense.

Do I have evidence of that?

No, I don't.

I do believe that the vice president is a pretty credible source to say that, especially when you can back up all of the other facts around.

It doesn't mean it's true.

I believe it to be, but it doesn't mean that it's true.

It means that it's a pretty good bet.

Because we do know, and we have sources on the ground, that people are buying these buses, paying those buses, and paying many of the people to get onto those buses.

And the people that are doing that is this Marxist revolutionary group.

Where are they getting the money?

Now, people also say that I said that Soros is providing the money.

No, he provided some of the money that were

funding the two main groups that were doing the migrant caravan in April.

There is no evidence that Soros is involved in this at all.

However, as Stu pointed out earlier on the show, Soros, in an op-ed,

said himself that he was going to put half a billion dollars into migrant campaigns.

It seems again like a logical jump that he will be involved in some way or another at some point, but there's no evidence that he's involved in this now.

So the email goes on.

If you've ever taken a course in international studies, relations, or politics, you would know that there are more reputable sources of information than Mike Pence's version of a conversation with the president of Honduras.

Yes, there are.

And I just told you that there are multiple places to show you what's happening in Honduras and

who is behind the migrant

caravan in Honduras.

We know now who that is.

You'd also recognize that it's impossible to be simultaneously be an objective and unbiased observer and believe wholesale that the president of Venezuela has set aside the funds necessary to attack the United States by funding a migrant caravan or calling on the allies to do so.

Okay.

It is not outrageous to think that when you understand, I don't know if you took international studies or relations or politics.

Personally, degrees don't mean anything to me.

I know a lot of idiots that have degrees.

I have done my own homework.

I'm a self-educated man.

If you'd like to talk down to self-educated people, well, that's a different issue.

But I do.

I do have a lot of experience in international studies, relations, and politics.

But I appreciate your degree, if you have one.

But if you do indeed have one, you know that Venezuela, the current president, blames the United States for all of his troubles, blames the United States for trying to kill him recently.

It is not unheard of for someone like that to fund operations against the United States.

He said

the word of a person working for a president whose statements are false more than two-thirds of the time, PolitiFact, isn't something you should form your opinion on on a subject, and far less, and again, that's not what I did.

That's also a ridiculous standard.

PolitiFact selects, it's not like they're looking at all of the statements made by a person and saying they're two-thirds false.

They select the ones that are controversial or the ones that they think they can disprove of Republican candidates most likely.

That's just a dumb way of looking at it.

Anyone, again, it's the same accusation.

But I'm not going to argue that this president is the

pillar of virtue.

You can't come out and it doesn't matter.

No, but you can't come out and say, hey, you need to take your journalistic credibility seriously and then say, by the way, the way you should judge this is PolitiFact percentage.

It's ridiculous.

Right.

Glenn, if you're a man who has integrity, you'd see where you might be wrong here.

Well, may I say to you, Jack, the same thing.

You may be wrong here.

Better yet, you'd pump the brakes on your rhetoric.

I don't have any rhetoric.

I don't have any rhetoric.

I'm asking you how to describe this group of people that are coming under the flag of Honduras.

Many of them with stated ill intent towards the United States, a lot of them just hapless, hapless, useful idiots, good people, decent people who are being paid and promised you're going to have a better life in America.

Probably the majority is that.

But here's a group of people that were started with an axe to grind against the United States, want to make their point.

They're going to cross our border with a foreign flag when we have an army there saying, don't come, what else do you call them?

That is a sincere question.

Glenn, you should apologize and really try to be a voice of truth on the matter.

That any matter that you've decided to put your name next to, but at least, at the very least, you'd reply to this email in some way.

So, at the very least, I have replied to you.

And at the very least, I have told you why I do not need to apologize.

In fact, if anyone should apologize, Jack, and I don't need it and I don't want it, we can walk away friends here.

But maybe you should apologize for making baseless claims about me.

He continues, but that's if you had some integrity, and that's why I don't expect any response at all.

And Jack,

that is the line that tells me everything I need to know and almost made it so I didn't respond to you.

Because you're not an honest broker.

If you've listened to this program and you don't think that I try to get it right, if you don't think that I have some integrity,

you're not an honest broker.

Why should I respond to you?

The only reason why I do, Jack, is because

I want you to know my point of view.

I want you to know that I'm not just making things up.

I'm not using this for any kind of political gain.

I don't like people who are using the border for political gain.

I'll be talking about this on Wednesday.

My guess is,

so will the Republicans and Donald Trump.

My guess is they still will care about this caravan if it comes to our border in three weeks.

You should as well.

Because you'll have no idea who's coming in.

And the evidence that we do have does suggest that we should not let them in

i appreciate your emails and we try to answer them as much as we can but we have so many that we can't get to it but we do appreciate it even if they're stupid like that guy's

even if they are misinformed like him

that's a much nicer way of saying that

i noticed you said that in a different way than i said it because i said stupid.

You used a different word to describe that same thing.

Some people are ignorant of the facts and some people live in a world of self-imposed ignorance.

And

it's those who live in self-imposed ignorance that are really

deserve our pity

because it's not a way to lead your life.

But maybe Jack hears the facts now and changes his mind.

That was mean.

Why don't you say that?
