Best of the Program with Bill O'Reilly - 10/5/18

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Hey, it's Friday, and what a Friday podcast we have.

Of course, we start with science, the science of biology.

Can,

you know,

Barack Obama said that he used to drink six beers and then go to class in college.

And I wondered, you know, what would that do, six beers in an hour?

Stu did it, and it was quite ugly.

It was really really hard to do.

It was really good.

I feel like I'm on the other side of it now, but as you hear, we're going through that hour, I don't know if I'm going to make it.

It is so great.

It is so great.

You don't want to miss that.

Also, we had Bill O'Reilly on when the vote came down, the Kavanaugh vote.

There were some interesting moments in that.

Yeah, it's weird.

You hear Bill O'Reilly reacting as the votes are coming down.

You're hearing them live.

It was a crazy moment.

And who knows what's going to happen with it in the end, but it looks like it's going through.

And then podcast sensation.

And one of those guys who you might say, who is this?

And there's 7,000 people going to his concert.

Comedian John Christ is with us and he's also really funny.

It's just a good, feel-good Friday podcast.

Just a note, two things.

We're coming to your town, a town near you, on tour.

It's going to be fun.

We're going to be talking about all of the different candidates for 2020.

We're even going to help the Democrats.

I might even give them a slogan for some of their.

That's so nice of you.

It is big.

A lot of people think I'm being sarcastic, but I am a helper.

Oh, no.

So, we're going to go through that.

We're also going to teach you how new social justice works and how insane it is.

It's our Addicted to Outrage tour.

You can go to Glennbeck.com/slash tour and grab your tickets.

Make sure you come.

Also, tomorrow, don't forget a special podcast.

I thought it was really appropriate.

A guy who went to prison, wrongfully accused, spent, I think, 30 years in prison.

Is he angry?

I thought this was good because of Kavanaugh, wrongly accused, and somebody who could be angry and isn't.

How does that happen?

That's tomorrow's podcast.

Let's get to the Good Eaten Friday podcast.

Here's Stu

getting drunk.

You're listening to

the best of the the Blenbeck Program.

It's Friday, October 5th.

By the time I was an adolescent and had moved back from Indonesia and was struggling with these issues of racial identity and a father not being in the house,

I think that

I reacted by

engaging in a lot of

behavior that's not untypical of black males

across the country.

Black male.

I played a lot of basketball.

Basketball?

I

didn't take school that seriously.

Okay, didn't take school seriously.

I

got into fights.

Got into fights.

I

drank and

did

and consumed

substances that

weren't always legal.

This is amazing.

And,

you know, I think generally was

acting out in ways that

when I look back on it, I understand.

I think that what got me through those years

was

a natural aptitude for schooling,

which meant that I didn't have to pay attention too much to be able to keep

up.

Oh, he does.

At least

get to it

graduate yes some of my behavior was self-destructive self-destructive behavior here is

might uh drink a six-pack uh in an hour before he'd drink a six pack before going back to class and then go back to class okay we can shut him up now I have lots to say about this clip a lot go ahead take it because you're already behind the sound that you heard a little you know timer That's going to go off every

all right a shot of

a a beer.

It's early for that.

That's all right.

He had to go to class early.

He did.

This is science, man.

Please don't question

my process.

Oh,

you got to take another shot.

Usually it takes a while before they start feeling like they're coming every five seconds.

Well, that one.

Okay, so what we're doing is, I don't believe you can drink a six-pack in an hour and go to class and, you know, just everybody thinks you're normal.

Hey, actually, let me change that.

I don't think you drink a six-pack in an hour and then want to go to class.

You just don't go.

Right.

Right.

Right.

I mean, it's like, because you're like, okay, there's nothing I can do about this.

You're not going to be coherent.

Right.

Or at least being, you're not going to be able to pull off

the normal student role, especially for a constitutional scholar.

Yeah, like a scholar.

Okay.

So we're testing Stu.

He's drinking every time you hear that little

chime.

He'll be taking a shot of beer

every time you hear that.

So every minute for the next, what, 56 minutes or something like that?

Yes, until 56 after the hour.

And that goes to exactly a six-pack.

It's basically a power hour, but it's not power hours.

Seven and a half beers.

Yeah.

There it is again.

So I'm going to hate that noise

hour.

Suck it.

All right.

Oh, this is going to suck.

Now, I've made a questionable choice, I will say, to lead this off.

One of my favorite beers, Dogfish Head IPA.

Their flesh and blood version, which is delicious.

Can you?

And I thought this is a good breakfast beer.

It's got a little orange in there.

It's like delicious.

You know what really pisses me off.

What's that?

I wasted all of my, well, A, all of my blackouts before my kids went into their teenage years.

That's when a parent needs blackouts.

Okay.

And also, I was still drinking when it was like whiskey.

You know, in like a dirty glass.

Yeah, it's like smoked.

Yeah, but put it in a dirty glass.

That was my experience.

Then I stopped drinking and they come out with all these great flavors.

Of course, if they have beer that tastes like cookies,

I would have been dead.

Maybe it would have been gone.

I've got a snickerdoodle-ale here.

Oh, well, we're going to get to it in a minute.

Now, the problem with this one is I do this shot here at home.

Is it 7.5% alcohol, which I didn't really realize when I pulled it out of the fridge today?

It's a little

bit of what kind.

No, but I mean, you've got to figure Barack Obama before he goes to school, it's like Bud Light or something.

So is it?

Or is it the typical black beer?

I guess to be really

as non-racist as he is.

We should all come together and figure out what the typical black beer is and when we drink that.

Thanks, Barack.

Maybe he can tell us about that.

Can you believe, that's the other thing we wanted to talk about on this, was this guy, I'm sorry,

if that was said by a white guy, it would be so racist.

Can you imagine anybody saying, well, you know, the typical black experience, you know, they'll get up and they'll play a lot of basketball.

They don't take school seriously.

They get into a lot of fights.

They drink a lot, do drugs, and go to class hammered.

Can you.

God, I hate this noise already.

Sarah picked that noise and I hate you, Sarah.

So,

but you're right.

Even half of that is a career ender if you happen to be white or conservative.

Yeah.

Either one.

Just say, honestly, if let's say,

I don't know, Mitt Romney came out tomorrow or Orrin Hatch or Jeff Sessions or Jon Thune came out tomorrow.

It's like, by the way, one of the interesting things about the typical black person is they're always playing basketball.

He'd be done.

He'd be done.

Kavanaugh or just...

Kavanaugh would be done.

Kavanaugh, yeah.

Forget.

They've accused him of gang rape and he's still going strong.

If he would have said, yeah, while I was running the gang rape thing, you know,

I thought it was better than you know what the typical blacks do just playing basketball

he'd be out he'd be out I mean and the fact that he loads all of that on

the fact that he loads all that on uh-huh and yeah there's like five horrible things I mean saying that people play basketball is not a bad thing

sorry it's science saying that people play basketball is not a bad thing though it would be called racist if it was a Republican but you're only getting into they don't pay attention to school they're always fighting drinking and doing drugs like that is legitimately like, just racism.

Right?

To say that an entire race is doing that regularly.

And, you know, I didn't notice until that time how many times he used the word typical in his.

Yeah, he likes it.

He loves the word typical.

And by the way, this, I mean,

in a way, it really does vindicate this moment you had on Fox many years ago.

Do we have to bring that up?

Is this the booze talking?

No, I'm a good half a beer in, so let me go.

No, I mean, in all seriousness, it's like this, what you said at the time and as you said you've poorly phrased it on fox but as we talked about just the next day you know he sees everything through the prism of race yes he did and he said he was struggling with his

he was struggling with his life because of drink because of i'm a scientist because of his racial identity issues drink

okay do you know how power hour works i have until the next one to get that thing down

it's okay god this is gonna be hard it's way too it's just not the right time for this you know when is the right time

When you're 21 is when the right time is, okay?

I'm double fat.

All right.

You know, you are.

You're pathetic.

You'll never be an alcoholic.

There's a right time.

Yes, all the time.

You used to not drink until it was 5 p.m.

If I remember.

That's what kept me from being an alcoholic again.

That was your excuse, right?

It really was.

Your little line that you drew.

I drew this line, this crazy line, because I thought alcoholics are drunk all day.

Alcoholics get up and they drink.

So I'm not going to do that because I'm not an alcoholic.

And I would literally, no matter where I was, I had alcohol in my hand and I watched either on.

This is infuriating.

I watched either on my watch or a clock, I would watch the second hand go to five o'clock.

And when that thing went to five o'clock, I drank immediately at five.

And that was the thing.

Oh, you got to fill that up another beer please.

Do I have to mix the beers?

Yeah.

We'll drink it and then drink another one.

I mean, if, you know you're gonna burn some you're gonna burn some alcohol some calories by

some this is one can down by the way what time jeez is early this is still early in the hour this is not gonna be good at some point you're just gonna need to take me off of this microphone because this is no i don't think so my my science experiment is that you would not go to class nor would you everyone would know you were drunk in class you wouldn't go

you'd be a sopy mess

unless you're drinking all the time.

You know, if you're drinking all the time, six beers is no big deal.

In my day, six beers wouldn't even touch me.

Now you got two.

Well, yeah, I'm going to do like a little bit of a break.

Mark, go quick, quick, quick, because you've got.

Okay, not yet.

The HR guys.

Drink the other one.

That's not a good decision.

Okay.

Now you've caught up.

One more in you.

What do you mean, one more?

One more.

That was for the last one.

No, it wasn't.

Yes, it was.

I'm the one drinking here, and you you can't keep track.

I've done them every single time.

I am ready for that.

That was you had them right on schedule.

We've got it on TV.

Don't try to scam me into getting extra shots.

This is unbelievable.

And I will say, hurry up.

It's nice to be able to drink and erase at least one day of this Kavanaugh story.

Can I tell you something?

As an alcoholic, I'm pissed because when that vote comes down today,

I want to be hammered.

I just want to be hammered.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Performers in.

Okay.

Can I ask you something?

Can I ask you something?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

I can answer no.

I can just cut you off now.

No.

Right.

Are you man enough to go through what Brett Kavanaugh went through and then sit on the Supreme Court and the Democrats are controlling the House and they are they're wanting wanting to have Donald Trump be subpoenaed to, you know, testify over something completely ridiculous that you know is all trumped up.

Are you man enough to drink?

Are you man enough to, after what you, if you were Brett Kavanaugh, after what they did to go, I'm going to look at this, you know,

seriously, I'm going to, I'm going to.

Oh, I mean, this is why I should not be on the nation.

I should not be on the Supreme Court,

largely because I would rule completely out of spite at this point.

We talked about this before.

We were not fans of Kavanaugh as a nominee.

Brissie, you need to start boring this stuff for me, Pissies.

We were not fans of Kavanaugh as a nominee.

Look, and I will point this out, and I pointed this out to Trump supporters.

One of the main reasons Trump got elected was his list of 21 Supreme Court nominees.

We all agree on that, right?

Yes.

Okay.

Well, go back and find it.

Go back to 2016.

Search for it.

The 21 nominees for the Supreme Court that Donald Trump named in 2016, search that list for Brett Kavanaugh's name.

It's not there.

You're not going to find it on there because it was added after he got elected.

Now, look, if.

But so was Mike Lee.

No, Mike Lee was on the first list.

Was he on the first list?

He was on the first list.

Yeah.

The point being that he got elected because he said, I'm going to pick from this list.

Now, if he had gone through 20 Supreme Court, or 21 Supreme Court justices, I could say, okay, name some new people.

Why he needed to expand that list, and Amy Coney Barrett was on the expansion as well why you need to expand that list after you get elected i don't know but they decided to do that and that's where kavanaugh is and i know i had a point i was going to but i do not remember it yeah i don't i don't think i'm even interested in it i don't care if you're interested or not just trying to get through this hour

Thanks.

I want you to consider that this weekend, this weekend is the one-year anniversary.

October 5th, one year ago,

the Me Too movement was organized.

New York Times ran their bombshell story on Harvey Weinstein, and it has been 12 straight months of Me Too madness.

Now, this is incredible.

If I would have said Me Too, I would have thought this has been two years.

It's been 12 12 months.

It's been good and it's been bad.

It's turned into an absolute nightmare, I think.

We can all stand in solidarity, all of us.

Stand with people who have accused, who have accused people and have proven the case that this person is guilty.

We all stand by it.

The witch hunt?

Not so much.

We can stand against violence against women, violence against men, and violence against children.

There's without a doubt every American is for that.

But overall, the Me Too movement in 12 months has become an out-of-control monster.

In the span of 365 days, 429 people have been accused in a total of more than 1,700 allegations.

Keep in mind, these are the high-profile cases spanning Hollywood, government, and big business.

You add in the lesser-known cases that we know of, and the accused doubles.

Numbers are pretty easy to find, but guess which numbers aren't?

The amount of convictions.

Good luck finding those.

Maybe we should take Kavanaugh and just throw him in the water and see if he floats.

Of course, if he floats, he's a rapist.

If he doesn't, he's innocent.

What's the number of convictions?

It seems kind of relevant.

You would think the Me Too movement and the rest of the media would be eager to post those numbers, but they don't.

Me Too has devolved from the post-Weinstein fallout as a movement that counts accusations as facts.

They rush to collect heads.

This is the French Revolution.

Evidence doesn't matter.

Corroboration doesn't matter.

It is the accusation that is all important.

That is what this movement has become.

You can call it a witch hunt or you can call it the McCarthy hearings.

But believe me,

there is no difference.

When we get 10 years, 20 years down the road, that is exactly what this movement will look like.

Divine providence reveals reveals itself in mysterious ways.

I don't care whether you believe it's a coincidence or not.

The anniversary of the Me Too movement, we're given the biggest example on the largest stage the country has seen, perhaps in decades?

To see how far the Me Too movement has fallen, how dangerous this has become, this is mob rule.

The Senate voting on Brett Kavanaugh 12 months to the day when all of this began.

Over the past year, we have never seen any of these Me Too cases played out in a courtroom.

But now we've seen one, and we see the mob salivating for Kavanaugh's head even though there is no evidence and no corroboration.

And everyone said the accuser could back up her story.

All of the accusers flatly denied it ever happened.

Or at least said, I have no knowledge of it.

The only thing that existed was the accusation.

And that right there is the story of the past three hundred and sixty five days.

I don't know what happened to Professor Ford.

I have no idea.

I don't know if there was an actual witchcraft that was being practiced in the woods.

But I, for one, am not willing to declare someone a witch or a warlock

without hard evidence.

I feel bad for Professor Ford.

I also think

I wouldn't want to be around her in the afterlife if she was lying.

We do know that at least one of the accusers was lying.

We want to believe people because we want to believe that there's no way anyone would do this for politics.

That's the goodness in America.

Don't lose sight of that goodness.

Don't lose sight of the fairness that each American has.

That is why what is happening in Washington, D.C.

is going to bode very, very poorly for those who are involved in this smear campaign.

Because Americans are fair.

And what they've done to the Kavanaugh family, this very public process, has given us a glimpse into what it looks like when the rule of law is replaced by mob rule.

This process has been ugly, painful, and hopefully it has taught us a big lesson.

The presumption of innocence is one of our founding principles.

It is why we came here in the first place.

And if we abandon that principle,

what happened to Judge Kavanaugh will be the standard for all of us and our children.

But, Stu, I still have Stu in my care after

doing a power hour with Stu to

just to be able to see is he capable of being president or

Supreme Court nominee in the future after drinking six beers, as Barack Obama said he used to before he went to college.

Now Bill O'Reilly is here.

Hello Bill.

Beck, how are you doing today?

I'm good.

I don't know.

How do you think this Kavanaugh thing is going to come down?

I think it'll be confirmed tomorrow afternoon.

He's going to guess.

I'd say

60-40 at this time.

But I think he's going to, it'd be very hard at this last

gap for any Republican to vote against him because there's new information.

And I don't know whether you guys know the new information because the media is not reporting it, including Fox News.

According to the Wall Street Journal,

Dr.

Ford's people, that includes her lawyers and her advisors,

tried to get a woman named Leland Keeser to change her testimony.

That is in the FBI report, apparently.

Now, Leland Keeser was the best friend to Christine Ford

when this incident about Kavanaugh allegedly took place and was named by Ford as an eyewitness.

Kieser all along has said, I don't remember anything like this.

I don't even know Judge Kavanaugh.

Well now the journal is reporting that

Ford's people, and they name a woman, Monica McLean,

texted Keeser and said, hey, you got to change your testimony.

You've got to help Christine.

That's a huge story.

Enormous story.

There is also another story

in the FBI testimony that it shows the leak came from Chuck Schumer, that it was Chuck Schumer's office in cahoots with one of the beach ladies that Ford talked about.

Yeah.

Well, I don't think there's any doubt about Chuck Schumer or Dianne Feinstein at this point that they are corrupt.

So, Bill, should there be one more thing, one more thing?

This Monica McLean, by the way, this was the woman who Ford's ex-boyfriend told the Senate Judiciary Committee

that

Ford tried to help her get through a lie detector test

because she was applying for a job at the FBI.

This now bolsters the ex-boyfriend's

account.

Now, this may seem in the weeds, but if the Judiciary Committee, and I believe Wrassley may do this, I hope so.

He could haul

Monica McQueen

and

others in Ford's camp in front of the committee, and he could bring back Ford and say, you lied to us about the lie detector test.

If that happens, Ford could be prosecuted.

Now, I don't think it will.

I I think it should.

It should.

I think it should, too.

Here's the thing.

Anybody, Kavanaugh lied or Ford lied, anybody,

they should be held to account.

Yeah, here's the thing.

I don't care if it is Mark Judge or if it is Professor Ford.

If you lied, you should go to jail.

Right.

This is too serious.

This tore the country apart.

And for what?

If this was coordinated, and I mean Chuck Schumer as well, if Chuck Schumer leaked this,

he should also stand some sort of penalty.

But anybody who was involved, you know, there was one guy who, what was it, Stu?

He came out and he said, oh, I know I have this evidence.

I saw this happening.

And as soon as he, I'm sorry to ask Stu, he's been drinking this morning, Bill.

You wouldn't believe it.

Yeah, I heard.

Yeah, it's bad.

I'm going to have him arrested.

Bill, I like to be drunk for all of your interviews, interviews, if that's okay.

That's right, Stu.

I mean, it's a better state for you because you can't understand them sober.

That's true.

That's fair.

So

there's one guy who came out and leveled accusations and then immediately retracted them and admitted that he was lying.

Everyone likes to focus on Ford, but there's been five accusers.

Yeah, yeah.

This is the Newport Harbor guy.

Yes.

But look, when you get into a situation,

and this goes right back to the Me Too thing you were talking about, did you see Alyssa Milano this week say, it doesn't matter if individual men get crushed.

It doesn't matter because women have been abused for so many years, and I have no sympathy for men, innocent men, who get crushed.

I mean, once you're into that zone, and we've discussed this before, you're into Stalinism.

You are.

No, we don't care.

You know, if some guy didn't do something like Kavanaugh or whoever it may be,

and you you get it, and your career and family and everything else is destroyed, you know, that's the price you got to pay because of the past injustices against women.

But that is the

mixture, Bill.

That's the combination of postmodernism and social justice.

Social justice now is the vehicle for postmodernism.

And the idea is it doesn't matter if she was telling the truth because others have been in her situation.

It doesn't matter if he did it because others have been in his situation.

What matters is

communal justice.

The key to this that other people aren't talking about and the media will never report on is that the same people

that organized a sponsor boycott against me when I was on Fox News are now paying people to go to the Capitol to scream and yell at senators about Kavanaugh.

The same same outfits are doing it.

Move On leads the league.

All right.

They've got the mailing list.

They've got all the information.

I mean, I'm sitting there going, deja vu, yeah.

Same people.

So now, in addition to insanity like Alyssa Milano, individual insanity, then you have an organized coordinated effort with tens of millions of dollars, courtesy of George Soros and others, okay, who are organizing,

sending people, paying people to go in and disrupt, sometimes physically,

the process.

And Americans are basically in the dark.

They don't know what's happening, Beck,

because it's not reported.

Well, I will tell you, I listened to that stupid New York Times podcast.

I listened to it every day just to hear what, you know, what spin they are putting on it.

And

it made my eyes bleed today.

I couldn't take the hypocrisy.

But one of the things they were talking about is, you know, I'm really concerned because things in the Capitol are becoming very scary.

They're very scary for reporters and for, you know, for these senators, and things are getting out of control.

Okay, is this a problem?

What's your blood pressure?

My blood pressure, this is not good.

My blood pressure, we're checking it against science.

To see if it's better to drink at moments like this.

Stu has already had a six-pack.

And as the Kavanaugh hearing is going on, and Bill O'Reilly is here, my blood pressure is 145 over 98, and my pulse is 120.

145 over 98.

That feels like really.

It's not good.

That's not good.

That's not healthy.

That doesn't seem well.

Look at that.

Well, I wanted to try to get through killing the SS.

So I wanted to get drunk first.

Yeah.

That's how this works.

I mean,

it's a big book coming out.

When does it come out, Bill?

Is it Tuesday?

Tuesday.

It's really good.

Yes, that's really good.

Worst war criminals in history.

Tuesday advance.

And

books already sold $75,000 in advance sales.

Wow.

And you only have $71,000 in the trunk of your car, which is nice.

Yeah, I know.

And you know, the gas is going up.

It's really going to be up to people over there.

It's actually a really good book, Bill.

Really good book.

Four minutes.

Four minutes to the vote.

Senator Collins has just voted yes on the advancement.

She said she'll announce her final decision at 3 p.m.

Is she delaying this again?

I mean, because everyone thinks this vote is going to be consistent with the vote that would happen this weekend.

Are we really thinking that she's going to change this now?

No.

No.

No.

She'll vote for it.

All the Republicans will vote for Kavanaugh because if they don't, they're out of the Republican Party.

Well, Flake.

That's it.

Flake.

Yeah, he's already out of the

way.

Yeah, he's leaving.

No, that's true.

But I don't think Flake wants to go out on that note.

Remember, Flake wants to get a job as a lobbyist.

He wants to go around, give speeches, maybe write a book.

If he's got the machine against him, that's going to hurt him in retirement as far as

earnings are concerned.

That's where he is.

Bill, I want to ask you honestly.

Danes is from Montana, is leaving to go to his daughter's wedding.

And I was thinking,

this is a really important vote.

And who knows what happens in 12 hours even if something goes wrong.

But I thought of my daughter and I was like, you know what?

I would totally leave.

Oh, I would leave.

I leave.

My daughter's wedding.

Is that the right choice?

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean,

I don't know why they can't work out something on that.

You know, there are ways to vote.

But look, you know, if your daughter's getting married, your daughter's getting married.

Maybe they could move the ceremony later, and they could, but I don't know.

I don't know.

But you're right.

You got a family first.

And there's no reason why these guys have to be there.

Why are we using 1700s technology

votes?

There's no reason.

He could be on a phone.

I

right, right.

And they could make an exception, I think.

But you're right.

Okay.

What else?

All right.

Well, geez, Bill.

Geez, I mean, sorry about that.

I thought you were.

We're ready to go on SS if you want me to give you something.

No, we got two minutes before the vote.

Give us two minutes on killing the SS.

All right, look, the book is about evil.

And my contention is that most Americans don't understand evil.

My mother didn't.

She lived a very

racial life.

Yeah, she spawned me, which is obviously, but she loved me and thought I was good.

So this

is evil.

Right.

Right.

So we're seeing so much evil in America, are we not?

You know, people walking into schools and gunning down kids, clerics abusing children,

Chicago, where thousands of people are shot by drug gangs and nothing's done.

Opioid epidemic through the roof.

This is all evil.

It's centered on evil.

And so I wrote SS with an eye on explaining to the reader that these concentration camp guards and the people who killed babies and gassed innocent people were farmers and merchants and bankers.

They weren't anything trained to do this.

They weren't assassins.

They were regular people.

And once the war started, they put on their black uniform with the death's head insignia and went in and did the most horrible things that history's ever seen.

Okay.

The book is better than his explanation.

It's killing the SS comes out Tuesday.

Oh, he's so

just take the vote, Mitch.

Take the vote, yeah.

I mean, geez, this has been a long, freaking rot

here.

I mean, who wants to delay this vote?

Apparently, it's Mitch McConnell now.

Oh, just vote.

I agree.

But this is the first time I've ever seen McConnell have a pulse.

I mean, you know, this is about as crazed as Mitch McConnell gets.

Orin Hatch is behind him sleeping.

I'm not kidding.

He is.

I see him.

Yeah, he's sleeping.

No, but he's not.

He's doing his mantra.

He just looked up.

I mean, he could theoretically have.

There he is.

He might have been praying.

No,

his mantra is, I want to go home.

Yes.

Please.

Please.

Orin Hatch had a really funny

confrontation with a protester in the elevator.

Did you see that, Bill?

Yeah, I saw it.

Yeah, I mean, like, you know, and it was interesting to see how the protesters did not care what he said.

They were looking for

an opportunity to yell at him.

It had nothing to do with the content of what he said.

Well, the more you yell and the louder you are, the more you get paid.

There's a scale of yelling.

And if you reach a crescendo, you get more money from Move On.

Hey,

let me ask you this.

4 Han, by the way, created to move on from sexual assault allegations.

Remember that.

That was Bill Clinton.

Move on from the Monica Lewinsky thing.

Move on.

Yeah, it's amazing that that's still around at this point in the Me Too movement, right, Bill?

Well, what about Katz, the main lawyer for Christine Ford?

She exonerated Al Franken.

Oh,

come on.

He's a comedian.

All right, so look,

everybody, anybody,

anybody

knows what this is and knows what's going on.

Bill, do you think this will play out this way at the voting booth?

Do you think there are

Democrats?

Democrats, I'm not talking political players.

I'm talking about regular Democrats who are seeing this now and going, you know, I was for Ford and I wanted a fair thing, but this is ridiculous.

You're asking for people to basically change their opinions.

That's very rare.

All scientific studies on politics show that people loathe to change their opinion.

They don't like to admit they were wrong.

I understand that.

All right, it's just human nature.

But what this is going to do is give the Republicans a real

strong

0.12 punch with the economy.

So you have the economy and then you have this.

Corruption on the other side.

That's how I would frame it.

All right.

Hang on.

We're getting ready to take the vote.

Let's just listen just in for just a second.

The question is: Is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the nomination of Brett M.

Kavanaugh of Maryland to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court shall be brought to a close?

The yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule.

The clerk will call the roll.

Mr.

Alexander.

Oh my god, it's happening.

Ms.

Baldwin.

Mr.

Barrasso.

Mr.

Bennett.

Two to two.

Mr.

Blumenthal.

Mr.

Blunt.

Mr.

Booker.

Mr.

Bozeman.

Notice I didn't say it so we can.

Mr.

Brown.

Yeah.

Mr.

Burr.

Ms.

Cantwell.

It's a big

point.

This is a pivot point.

Mr.

Cardwall.

What does this mean, Bill?

Mr.

Carper.

History.

Mr.

Casey.

Either direction.

Mr.

Cassie.

I don't know yet.

I mean, I can't speculate on that.

I can just, I know I'm pretty good at at uh evaluating the mood of the country.

You may remember that five days before the election of 2016, I predicted Trump would win, and I predicted because people didn't like Hillary Clinton and would stay home.

I mean, I that was my best that I ever did.

Right now, I am feeling it everywhere I go.

I know a lot of people, and I'm around, okay,

that the regular folks know this was a sham.

Duckworth.

And they know that Kavanaugh and his family were damaged very badly by people who didn't care to seek the truth.

They know that.

That I think will play out in our politics.

But you've got to remember: there's a powerful, powerful, corrupt lobby that is driving the Me Too thing.

And the media

is Flake.

What was Flake?

This is Gillibrand.

We'll give you that in a second.

Sorry, Gardner.

Mr.

Graham.

Mr.

Grassley.

Aye.

Ms.

Harris.

Blake was an eye, I believe.

Okay.

I thought so, too.

Ms.

Hassan.

You have to understand that the media, in conjunction with the fanatics, the zealot,

is powerful.

Powerful to drive things.

So I can't hold on.

Hold on.

Mr.

Heller.

She's a no.

I can't was a hypersonic.

A yes being is a big one.

Mr.

Hoven.

Mrs.

Hyde-Smith

Murkowski Mr.

Inhoff

Mr.

Isaacson

Mr.

Johnson

Mr.

Jones

Mr.

Kane

Mr.

Kennedy

Mr.

King's a big one Miss Klobuchar

Mr.

Kyle.

Mr.

Linkford.

Mr.

Leahy.

Mr.

Lee.

Mr.

Manchin.

Mr.

Markey.

What a new mansion.

Mrs.

McCaskill.

Here comes Murkowski.

Mr.

McConnell.

Mr.

Menendez.

Almost there.

Mr.

Merkley.

A lot of M's.

Mr.

Moran.

Okay, come on right.

Stop it.

Ms.

Murkowski.

Silence, so we don't know.

Mr.

Murphy.

We'll know soon.

Wouldn't you know?

Yeah, we didn't know on Manchin or Murkowski.

Those are the two very interesting ones.

And it's strange.

I'm watching all of the networks, and none of them are catching the votes, so no one is.

Yeah.

Nor is the New York Times.

We're looking at all the sites right now to see what the actual goal is.

We don't know yet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, again, this is not the final vote.

You know, they're going to close debate, and then they'll vote tomorrow, and I do believe Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

Nobody wants to be on the wrong side of this, and the winds are blowing against the Democrats now.

The winds have shifted.

Bill, this is a big deal for the winds shifting, don't you think?

I mean, this is the first time I have ever seen this tactic by the Democrats backfire on them.

Mr.

Rebio.

I don't know.

The Clarence Thomas stuff was pretty rough.

And I think that

African Americans at the time were pretty angry about it.

But that, of course, dissipated once he got on the court.

The question is,

if Kavanaugh is confirmed, will this all go away?

Will people just say, okay, the good guys won, and we're not real interested in punishing the Democrats?

I don't think so anymore.

I don't don't think so.

I just think people are so furious that

they're going to take it out on the Democrats.

I think the Democrats think that they control

these

activists.

They really think that they can tap them, turn them on, and turn them off.

No, I know they do, but I think they're approaching a time when they're not going to be able to turn them off.

I don't see it that way.

It's very well organized.

You're going to get individuals that confront people in restaurants,

zealots like that.

You're going to have that, and somebody might get hurt.

But on the organized front, these people are very disciplined.

And there's about a dozen organizations now

where money is flooding in to disrupt the process on the part of the far left.

Stand by some news.

There's some news here.

A lot.

Mr.

Wicker.

One thing.

A couple things here.

Collins, one of the big ones.

A yes.

Flakes.

Yeah.

And Flakes, a yes.

And he's a yes.

And I'm sure Markowski was a yes.

And Manchin, I don't know.

That's an interesting one.

We're in the middle of looking at that right now.

And, Bill, do you think that they just overplayed their hand here?

Oh, yeah.

I really feel like

they could have had Murkowski.

They could have had Collins if they really played this seriously, but instead they overplayed their hand to it.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And they didn't have what they didn't have.

Look, I went through this,

and

all of a sudden, every time I turned around, there was somebody else saying, saying, well, O'Reilly did this.

That wasn't true.

All right.

So, what they thought was that more people were going to come out and point a finger at him, or somebody was going to bolster Ford's party statement, going, oh, yeah, I was at that party and I saw this.

What do they have to lose?

They threw it out there.

The press accepted it as fact

and made it easier for people to come through.

And then you had Avenatti and all these other crazy people piling on.

the left said, look, this is what usually happens.

But here, you know, with the FBI involvement and a pretty strong statement by Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh saved himself.

Yeah, he did.

You know, one of the things that I couldn't do

was save myself because they didn't want, they being Fox, me to address it.

Yes.

Okay.

I couldn't save myself.

Kavanaugh did.

Purdue.

That's what turned it.

It does look like Joe Manchin has voted yes on Kavanaugh.

So that means Kavanaugh, that Manchin is going to vote to confirm him.

And the reason Manchin's doing that is because if he voted against Kavanaugh, that he might lose the election.

Now, are the people of West Virginia that stupid?

We do have one no vote from Lisa Murkowski.

So Murkowski is out.

Manchin is in.

Flake is in.

Collins is in.

This just should be enough for him to get confirmed here.

Yeah, because if it's a tie, Pence breaks it.

Correct.

Now, Murkowski, if Murkowski votes against Kavanaugh, she's through in the Republican Party.

She's finished.

She won't get a nickel

from any Republican.

And I believe that her Senate career will be over.

I think the people of Alaska, a very conservative state, will throw her out.

Do you think, Bill, that we have with

Murkowski Murkowski the situation where she knew it was going to go through, wanted to vote no, was able to vote no because she knew they had the 50 votes?

Doesn't matter.

Just the no vote going against every single one of her colleagues

isolates her and puts her in a pariah.

Word of the day, pariah,

in the Republican Party.

Okay.

That's an amazing situation.

I didn't think Murkowski was going to put her entire career at risk over this,

but apparently she has.

Well, she could vote yes tomorrow.

How?

How, though?

If she's voting not to advance the nomination to the floor,

how does she vote yes?

I want to confirm it.

Because I didn't think that it should go forward, but now it's gone forward.

And so now I'm going to, because a lot of people are calling my office and I'm afraid for my career,

I am going to vote yes.

Maybe, but

that's a pretty tough line to walk.

Well, I don't think she's going to do it.

It's an interesting point.

And that one of the most shocking vote results that I can remember in my entire lifetime was Lisa Murkowski beating Joe Miller on a write-in ballot in that Senate campaign several years ago.

Does Alaska reward Murkowski after this with another election?

I mean, that's.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Well, they are very independent.

They are conservative, but they're very independent, and we'll wait and see.
