Starting point is 00:00:00 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 beerology. 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 hard to do.
Starting point is 00:00:30 It's 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.
Starting point is 00:00:44 There was 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,
Starting point is 00:01:00 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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, It'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.
Starting point is 00:01:39 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 glenbeck.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.
Starting point is 00:02:04 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 Eaton Friday podcast. Here's Stu getting drunk. You're listening to The Best of the Glenbeck program.
Starting point is 00:02:33 It's Friday, October 5th. By the time I was an adolescent and had moved back from Indonesia as a teenager. And was struggling with these issues of racial identity and a father not being in the house. Yeah. I think that, you know, I reacted by engaging in a lot of behavior that's not untypical of black males. typical across the country
Starting point is 00:03:03 black male I played a lot of basketball basketball I didn't take school that serious Okay didn't take school seriously I got into fights Got into fights I drank
Starting point is 00:03:19 Oh drank And consumed substances And did drugs 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.
Starting point is 00:03:42 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. God, he rambles on this clip. Oh, he does. At least. Come on, get to it, man. Get to it. graduate.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yes. Some of my behavior was self-destructive. Self-destructive behavior. I might drink a six-pack in an hour before. He drank a six-pack. Before going back to class. And then go back to class. Okay, we can shut them up now.
Starting point is 00:04:17 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 beer.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It's early for that. That's all right. right. He had to go to class early. He did. This is science, man. Please don't question my, my process. Oh, you got to take another, 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. A, actually, let me change that. I don't think you drink a six pack in an hour and then one to go to class. You just don't go.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Right, right. I mean, it's like, because you're like, okay, I don't know about this. No, you're not going to be coherent. Right. Or at least being, you're not going to be able to pull off, you know, the normal student role, especially for a constitutional scholar. Yeah, like a scholar. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:16 So we're testing Stu. He's drinking every time you hear that little, that little chime. He'll be taking a shot of, of beer. Every time you hear that. So every minute for the next, what, 56 minutes or something like that? Yeah. until 56 after the hour, and that goes to exactly a six-pack. It's basically a power hour, but it's not...
Starting point is 00:05:36 Power hour would be seven and a half beers. There it is again. So I'm going to hate that noise, but it's sour. Stop it. All right. Oh, this is going to suck. Now, I've made a questionable choice. I will say it a lot to leave this off.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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 bit of orange in there. It's delicious. really pisses me off. What's that?
Starting point is 00:06:03 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 smoke filled room. Yeah, but put it in a dirty glass. That was my experience.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Then I stopped drinking and they come out with all these great flavors. I, it's. Of course, if they have beer that. you know, taste like cookies. I would have been dead. Maybe it would have been gone. I've got a snickerdoodle ale here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Oh, well, we're going to get to it in a minute. Now, the problem with this one is I do this shot here, home. Mm-hmm. Is it 7.5% alcohol? Which I didn't really realize when I pulled it out of the fridge today. It's a little high. It's like what kind? No, but I mean, you've got to figure Barack Obama before he goes to school, it's like
Starting point is 00:06:56 Bud Light or something. So is it, or is it, or is it the typical black be? Oh, beer. I guess to be really as loyal to this experiment. As non-racist as he is. We should all come together and figure out what the typical black beer is and drink that. Thanks, Barack. Maybe he can tell us in his book.
Starting point is 00:07:13 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.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And go to class hammered. Can you... God, I hate this noise already. Sarah picks 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.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Just say, honestly, if, let's say, I don't know. Mitt Romney came out tomorrow or Orrin Hatch or Jeff Sessions or John Thune came out tomorrow. Just 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. Kavanaugh would be done. Kavanaugh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Forget. They accused him of gang rape and he's still going strong. If he would have said, yeah, well, I was running the gang rape thing. you know, I was just, I thought it was better than, you know, what the typical blacks do, just playing basketball. He'd be out. I mean, and the fact that he loads all of that on. The fact that he loads all that on and there's like five horrible things. I mean, saying that people play basketball is not a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Sorry, it's science, man. 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. It's to say that entire race is doing that regularly.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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 a fox many years ago. Do we have to bring that up? Yes, I think so. No, I'm a good half of beer in, so let me go. No.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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 does. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Okay. Do you know what power hour works? I have until the next one to get that thing down. It's okay. God, this is going to be hard. It's way too. It's just not the right time for. this.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Right. When is the right time. When you're 21 is one of the right time is, okay? I'm double that. All right. You know, you are, you're pathetic. You'll never be an alcoholic. There's a right time.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yes, all the time. You used to not drink until it was 5 p.m. No, that's what kept me from being an alcoholic in my head. That was your excuse, right? It really was. Your little line that you drew. Yeah, I drew this line, this crazy line because I thought, alcoholics are drunk all day.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Alcoholics get up and they drink. So I'm not going to do this. 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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. I have to mix the beer? Yeah, we'll drink it and then drink another one. I mean, you know, you're going to burn some, you're going to burn some alcohol, some calories by... This is one can down, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:07 What time... This is still early in the hour. This is not going to be good. At some point, you're just going to need to take me off of this microphone. Because this is not... No, I don't think so. My science experiment is that you would not go to class, nor would you... Everyone would know you were drunk in class.
Starting point is 00:11:26 you wouldn't go you'd be a soppy mess unless you're unless you're drinking all the time you know if you're drinking all the time six beers no big deal in my day six beers wouldn't have you can touch me
Starting point is 00:11:39 now you got two well yeah I'm gonna do like a little 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 now you've caught up
Starting point is 00:11:51 get one more in you what do you mean one more that was for the last one No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. I'm the one drinking here and you can't keep track. I've done them every single time. I am right on schedule.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I am right on schedule. We've got it on tape. Marissa is watching. Don't try to scam me into getting extra shots. I am just. This is unbelievable. I will say. Hurry up.
Starting point is 00:12:12 It's nice to be able to drink in a race 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. want to be hammered. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Can I ask you something?
Starting point is 00:12:40 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?
Starting point is 00:12:51 And then sit on the Supreme Court and the Democrats are controlling the House. And they are, they're 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,
Starting point is 00:13:18 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.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I should not be on the Supreme Court, largely because I would rule completely out of spite at this point. If I, this is, we talked about this before. We were not fans of Kavanaugh as a nominee. So you need to start boring this stuff for him. No, I got it. We were not fans of Kavanaugh as an nominee.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I would. 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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-Barritt was on the expansion as well. why you need to expand that list after you get elected, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:33 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 think I'm even interested in it. I don't care if you're interested or not. I'm just trying to get through this hour. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hi, it's Glenn. If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do his favor and rate us on iTunes?
Starting point is 00:14:54 If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time. You can subscribe on iTunes. 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 months.
Starting point is 00:15:30 It's been good and it's been bad. It's turned in to an absolute nightmare, I think. We can all stand in solidarity. All of us. Stand with people 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.
Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:50 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-Winstein fallout as a movement that counts accusations as facts.
Starting point is 00:17:25 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 itself in mysterious ways. I don't care whether you believe it's a coincidence or not.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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 cooperation. And everyone said the accuser could
Starting point is 00:18:49 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 365 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.
Starting point is 00:19:36 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.
Starting point is 00:20:20 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.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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'm still, I still, I still have stew in my care after doing a power hour with stew to just to be able to see, is he capable of being president or, you know, or 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Hello, Bill. Beck, how are you doing today? I'm, I'm good. I don't know. How do you think this Kavanaugh thing's going to come down? I think it'll be confirmed tomorrow afternoon. I guess I'd say 60-40 at this time, but I think he's going to be very hard at this last gap for any Republican to vote against him because there's new information.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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 Kieser, to change her testimony. That is in the FBI report, apparently. Now, Leelan Kieser was the best friend to Christine Ford when this incident about Kavanaugh, took place and was named by Ford as an eyewitness. Kieser all along and said, I don't remember anything like this.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I don't even know, Judge Kavanaugh. Well, now the journal's reporting that Ford's people, and they name a woman, Monica McLean, texted Kieser and said, hey, you've got to change your testimony. You've got to help Christine. That's a huge story. Enormous story. There is also another story. that in the FBI testimony that it shows the leak came from Chuck Schumer,
Starting point is 00:23:14 that it was Chuck Schumer's office in cahoots with one of the beach ladies that Ford talked about. He doubt about Chuck Schumer or Diane Feinstein at this point that they are corrupt. So, Bill, should there... One more thing, one more thing. This Monica McLean, by the way, this was... 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. Yep. Because she was applying for a job of the FBI.
Starting point is 00:23:54 This now bolsters the ex-boyfriend's account. Now, this may seem in the weeds, but if the Judiciary Committee, and I believe Grassley may do this, I hope so. He could haul Monica McLean and others in Ford's camp in front of the committee, and he could bring back Ford and say, you lie to us about the lie detector test. That happens. Ford could be prosecuted. Now, I don't think it will.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I think it should. It should. I think it should, too. Here's anybody. Anybody. Kavanaugh lied or four lied, anybody, they should be held to account. Here's the thing. I don't care if it is Mark Judge or if it is Professor Ford.
Starting point is 00:24:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:18 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. You have him arrested. Bill, I like to be drunk for all of your 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.
Starting point is 00:25:35 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 four, 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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. We don't care. Yeah. You know, if some guy didn't do something like Avin, whoever it may be, and 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.
Starting point is 00:26:47 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 is communal justice. justice. That's evil. The other key to this that other people aren't talking about and the media will never report on, is it 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.
Starting point is 00:27:29 The same outfits are doing it. Move on, leaves 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,
Starting point is 00:27:48 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 listen to that stupid New York Times podcast. I listen to it every day just to hear what, you know, what spin they're putting on it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 And it made my eyes bleed today. I couldn't take the hypocrisy. But one of the things that we're 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, it's 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 1.45 over 98.
Starting point is 00:29:03 and my pulse is 120. 145 or 98, that feels like really... It's not good. That doesn't seem healthy. That doesn't seem... Well, I wanted to try to get through killing the SS, so I wanted to get drunk first. Yeah, you know, that's how this works.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Wow. It's a big book coming out. When does it come out, Bill? Is it Tuesday? Tuesday. It's really good. The worst war criminals in history. Tuesday advance.
Starting point is 00:29:30 It's already sold $75,000 in advance sales. 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 good. I know. It's actually a really good book, Bill. Really good book.
Starting point is 00:29:47 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.
Starting point is 00:30:07 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. He's already out of it. He's leaving, right? Yeah, he's leaving.
Starting point is 00:30:19 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 and 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 the earnings are concerned. Bill, I want to ask you, honestly, Danes is from Montana, is leaving to go to his daughter's wedding. This is a really important vote. And who knows what happens in 12 hours even if something goes wrong.
Starting point is 00:30:50 But I thought to my daughter and I was like, you know what, I would totally leave. Oh, I would leave. My daughter's wedding. Is that the right choice? Yes. Yeah. I'm why they can't work out something on that. You know, there are ways to vote.
Starting point is 00:31:10 But look, you know, if your daughter's getting married, your daughters get married. Maybe they could move the ceremony later, 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 for these votes? There's no reason.
Starting point is 00:31:31 He could be on a phone. I. Right. Right. And they could make an exception, I think. But you're right. Okay. What else?
Starting point is 00:31:40 All right. Well, geez. Jeez. I mean, sorry about that. I thought we were going to go on SS if you want me to give you some. No. We got two minutes before the vote. Give us two minutes on killing the SS.
Starting point is 00:31:52 The book is about evil. And my contention is that most Americans don't understand evil. My mother didn't. She lived a very, I mean. She raised you. Yeah, she spawned me, which is obviously. But she loved me and thought I was good. She didn't understand.
Starting point is 00:32:10 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.
Starting point is 00:32:49 They weren't anything trained to do this. It weren't assassins. There were regular people. And once the war started, they put on their black uniform with the death's head insignia. and went in into 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.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Oh, he's so... Just take the vote, Mitch. Take the vote, yeah. I mean, geez, this has been a long, freaking run here. I mean, who wants to delay this vote? Apparently, it's Mitch McConnell now. Oh, just vote. I agree.
Starting point is 00:33:25 But this is the first time I've ever seen McConnell have a pulse. I mean, you know, this is a bit. about is as crazed as Mitch McConnell gets. Orrin Hatch is behind him sleeping. I'm not kidding. He is. I see him. Yeah, he's sleeping.
Starting point is 00:33:39 No, but he's not. He's doing his mantra. He just looked up. I mean, he could theoretically. Oran Hatch. There he is. Oh, he might have been praying. No, or an end.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Mantra is, I want to go home. Yes. Please. Please. Orn Hatch had a really funny confrontation with a protester in the elephant. later. And they, did you see that, Bill? Yeah, I thought. Yeah, I mean, and like, you know, and it was interesting to see how the protesters did not care what he said.
Starting point is 00:34:10 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. Four hon, by the way, created to move on from sexual assault allegations. Remember that. That was Bill Clinton. Move on from the Monica Lewinsky thing.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Absolutely. 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. No.
Starting point is 00:34:56 All right. So look, everybody, any. Buddy, anybody honest, 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, do you think that there are Democrats, Democrats, not talking political players, I'm talking about regular Democrats who are seeing this now and going, you know, I was Ford, you know, 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 All scientific studies on politics show that people loathes to change their opinion. They don't like to admit they were wrong. I don't understand that. All right. It's just human nature. But what this is going to do is give the Republicans a real wrong point one, two points with the economy. You have the economy, and then you have this. corruption on the other side.
Starting point is 00:35:55 That's how I would frame it. All right, hang on. We're getting ready to take the vote. Let's just listen to in for just a second. Sure. The question is, is it the sense of the Senate that debate on the nomination of Brett M. Cabinac 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.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Mr. Alexander. Oh, my guy. That's happening. Ms. Baldwin. Mr. Barrasso. Mr. Bennett. Two to two. Mr. Blunt.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Mr. Booker. Mr. Bozeman. Notice they didn't say it so we can hear. Mr. Brown. Yeah. Mr. Burr. Ms. Cantwell. It's a big moment in American history.
Starting point is 00:36:45 This is a pivot point. Mr. Cardin. What does this mean, Bill, for history. Mr. Casey. Either direction. I don't know yet. I mean, I can't speculate on that. I can just, I'm pretty good at evaluating the mood of the country.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You may remember that five days before the election in 2016, I predicted Trump would win, and I predicted because people didn't like Hillary Clinton and would stay home. I mean, 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:37:41 But you got to remember, there's a powerful, powerful, corrupt lobby that is driving the Me Too thing. And the media is... Hang on. Blake. What was Flake? This is Jellibrand. We'll give you that in a second. Sorry, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Mr. Graham. Mr. Grassley. Ms. Harris. Ms. Harris. Ms. Harris. Okay. I thought so, too. Ms. Hassan.
Starting point is 00:38:08 You have to understand that the media in conjunction with the fanatics, the zeal. Powerful. Powerful to drive things. Ms. High Camp. Hold on. Hold on. Mr. Heller.
Starting point is 00:38:20 She's in now. Campbell's. Mr. Heron. Yes being, is a big one. Mr. Hoven. Mrs. Hyde-Smith. Yeah. Murkowski.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Mr. Inhoff. Mr. Isaacson. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Jones. Mr. Kane. Mr. Kennedy. Mr. King. House is a big one.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Ms. Klobuchar. Mr. Kahl. Mr. Lankford. Aye. Mr. Leahy. Mr. Lee. Mr. Mansion. Mr. Markey.
Starting point is 00:39:17 What did you mention? Mrs. McCaskill. Here comes Murkowski. Mr. McConnell. Mr. Menendez. Almost there. Mr. Merkley. A lot of Ms. Moran.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Okay, come on. Right. Stop. Ms. Murkowski. Silence, so we don't know. Mr. Murphy. We'll know soon. Wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Yeah, we didn't know on Manchin or Macau. 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 tool is. We don't know yet.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Yeah. Yeah. Now, again, this is not the final vote. You know, they're going to end the close debate, and then it'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. I don't know. The Clarence Thomas stuff was pretty rough. And I think that
Starting point is 00:40:38 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 let's 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 think so i just think people are so furious i think they're gonna you're gonna take it out on the i think the democrats think that they control these these um activists they really think that they can you know tap them you know turn them on and turn them off no i know they do but i think they're approaching a time where they're not going to be able to turn them off.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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 here. Mr. Wickron.
Starting point is 00:41:50 A couple things here. Collins, one of the big ones, a yes. Flake. And Flakes a yes. And his yes. And I'm sure Markowski was a yes. And Manschen, I don't know. That's an interesting one.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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 Markowski. They could have had Collins if they really played this seriously. But instead, they overplayed their hand. to an incredible degree. Absolutely. Absolutely. And they didn't have what they didn't have. Look, I went through this. All of a sudden, every time I turned around, there was somebody else saying, well,
Starting point is 00:42:30 O'Reilly did this. That wasn't true. All right? So what they thought would that more people were going to come out and point a finger at them or somebody was going to bolster Ford's party statement. 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 Avanotti and all these other crazy people piling on. And the left said, look, this is what usually happens.
Starting point is 00:43:03 But here, you know, with the FBI involvement and, you know, 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.
Starting point is 00:43:26 We have a look, that's what turned it. It does look like Joe Manchin has voted yes on Kavanaugh. So that means that Kavanaugh that Manson 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's stupid? We do have one no vote from Lisa Murkowski. So Murkowski is out. Mansion is in.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Flake is in. Collins is in. This 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.
Starting point is 00:44:12 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, 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 as a pro-revement.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Word of the day, pariah, in the Republican Party. Is Hassan. 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?
Starting point is 00:45:06 If she's voting not to advance the nomination to the floor. Well, now it's sitting there. And 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, I am going to vote yes. Maybe, but I, that's a pretty tough line to walk.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah, I don't think she's going to do it. It's an interesting point in that one of the most shocking vote results that I can remember in my entire lifetime was Lisa Murkowski beating Joe Miller on a right-in ballot in that Senate campaigned several years ago. Does Alaska reward Murkowski after this with another election? I mean, that's a... I don't think so. I don't think so. They are very independent.
Starting point is 00:45:54 They are conservative, but they're very independent. And we'll wait and see. The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.
