Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Glenn Beck. It's Friday, October 5th. All right. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Yes, yes, yes. As many of you know,
Starting point is 00:00:16 science is really the main focus of this program. And our many awards. And our many awards and our many scientific papers that have been published, I am a doctor. And Stu will confirm that. That is true. That is true. That means you can treat the entire human body. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:00:35 As you tell me every single time. Yes. I can treat the entire human body and the mind. And today we have a science experiment happening in the first hour before we get to Bill O'Reilly and the live Kavanaugh vote. What a show this is going to be. What a show this is going to be. I'm not going to remember it.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So yesterday we played this audio from Barack Obama and I want you to listen as a scientist. Yes. Play it, please. You know, I think I was a thug for a big part of my girl. He was a thug. I was, I think I was a very typical. Oh, boy. A word he loves, typical.
Starting point is 00:01:17 He loves that word. Gregorius, mischievous child. So he was a young boy. He was a typical child. I think 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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. Black male. I played a lot of basketball. Basketball? I did. didn't take school that serious okay didn't take school so i uh got into fights got into fights i uh drank oh drank did uh and and and consumed uh substances and did drugs weren't always legal
Starting point is 00:02:17 this is amazing um and uh you know i think generally was um acting out uh in ways that uh that When I look back on it, I understand. I think that what got me through those years was a natural aptitude for schooling. Yes. Which meant that I didn't have to pay attention too much to be able to keep my grades up. Oh, he does. At least. Come on, get to it, man.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Get to it. Graduate. Some of my behavior was self-destructive. Self-destructive behavior. Finish. Here is. I might drink a six-pack. in an hour before. He'd drink a six-pack.
Starting point is 00:03:03 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,
Starting point is 00:03:13 a little, you know, timer. That's going to go off every... All right. A shot of a beer. It's early for that. That's all right. He had to go to class early. He did.
Starting point is 00:03:23 This is science, man. Please don't question my process. Oh, you've 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Hey, 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. Right. Right. Because you're like, okay, I don't know about this now. You're not going to be coherent. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:58 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. 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?
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah, until 56 after the hour. And that goes to exactly a six-pack. It's basically a power hour, but it's not, power hour is seven and a half beers. There it is again. So I'm going to hate that noise. Sorry. Yeah. Stop it. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Oh, this is going to suck. Now, I've made a questionable choice. I will say it a lot to leave this off. One of my favorite beers, dogfish head, IPA. Their flesh and blood version, which is delicious. Can you? And I thought, like, this is a good breakfast beer. It's got a little bit of orange in there.
Starting point is 00:04:50 It's 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 in. 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?
Starting point is 00:05:07 In like a dirty glass. Yeah, like a smoke-filled room. 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. I, it's... Of course, if they have beer that, you know, tastes like cookies, I would have been dead. Maybe it would have been gone.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I've got a snickerdoodle ale here. Yeah. we're going to get to it in a minute. Now, the problem with this one is I do this shot here, Holm. 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 It's like 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. Oh, is it? Or is it the typical black beer? I guess to be really 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.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Thanks, Barack. Maybe he can tell us in his book. 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Just say, honestly, if, let's say, I don't know, Mitt Romney came out tomorrow or Oren 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. 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. He'd be out. I mean, and the fact that he loads all of that on.
Starting point is 00:07:31 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Right? It's to say that entire race is doing that regularly. And, you know, I didn't know. 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? Yes, I think so the booze talking. No, I'm a good half of 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
Starting point is 00:08:22 it on Fox, but as we talked about just the next day, you know, he sees everything through the prism of race. Yes, 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Drink. 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 00:08:48 Right. When is the right time. When you're 21 is one of 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.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yes, all the time. You used to not drink until it was 5 p.m. Nope, 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. I drew this line, this crazy line, because I thought, alcoholics are drunk all day.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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.
Starting point is 00:09:33 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 it up. Another beer, please. We have to mix the beers? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:47 We'll drink it and then drink another one. I mean, if you, 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. What time? Jesus, early. This is still early in the hour. This is not going to be good.
Starting point is 00:10:00 At some point, you're just going to need to take me off of this microphone. 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. You wouldn't go. You'd be a soppy mess unless you're drinking all the time. You know, if you're drinking all the time, Six beers, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:10:27 In my day, six beers wouldn't have you touched me. Now you got two. Well, yeah, I'm going to do like a little... Mark, go. Quick, quick, quick. Because you've got... Okay, not yet. The HR guy's here.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Drink the other one. That's not a good decision. Okay. Now you've caught up. Get one more in you. What do you mean one more? One more? That was for the last one.
Starting point is 00:10:46 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. I am right on schedule. We've got it on tape. is on outside.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Don't try to scam me into getting extra shots. This is unbelievable. I will say. Hurry up. 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.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I just want to be hammered. We're going to be carrying the vote live. You don't want to miss that. Still will be here. Interestingly enough, Bill O'Reilly. will also be with us. At least in the commercials, they don't have to hear that noise. Oh, yes, they do.
Starting point is 00:11:35 All the way through. Wait, you're keeping it up during the commercials? Yes, I am. For most Americans, their home is their biggest investment that they will ever make. It's going to be most likely your biggest investment. That's why we built real estate agents.itrust.com. Because working with the right agent will make a significant difference in the outcome of buying or selling. We have about 1,500 agents all over America who are just like you. Their word is
Starting point is 00:12:02 their bond. They're fans of the show. They share your sensibilities. And they're going to get you the best deal if you're buying and they're going to get the best deal if you're selling. Our agents are fully vetted, handpicked for their knowledge, their skill, and their track record. It's real estate agents.I trust.com. How you feeling, Stu? I'm feeling fine right now. It's still early in the hour. Good. Well, it's got a long time to go before the next drink. go to real estate agents I trust Oh Real estate agents I trust
Starting point is 00:12:31 dot com That's real estate agents I trust.com Stu is What are you about a beer and a half in? I'm almost done with the second one actually And again it's 20 after the hour Yeah so Stu is
Starting point is 00:12:45 We're just doing a little science experiment Barack Obama He said he used to go to class He'd drink a six pack of beer And the Democratic never had a problem with Barack Obama. I mean, he talks about everything the Democrats say
Starting point is 00:13:02 should disqualify Brett Kavanaugh. Well, he's one of nine. The president's one of one. I found it so interesting this standard here, because we started with like, Innocent until Proving Guilty. Then it was like, do we think he probably did it?
Starting point is 00:13:17 Then it was, is there any possibility that he did it? Now, then we lowered it to, well, did he drink so much that he may have forgotten himself that he did it. And then it's like, well, I think he lied about the drinking. And the word boof.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. Like, that is legitimately where we are now. I don't even think it's that. I don't even think it's that now. It's, I mean, now he's just been so tainted. And when we pushed him up against the wall and accused him of being a gang rapist,
Starting point is 00:13:43 he got mad. Yeah, you wouldn't? I mean, you wouldn't. Did you read the op-ed? I know, we're going to go over it later today. I mean, you know, he's like, well, of course I was saying, I mean, this is impurity. That science man.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Please, it's science. That is a scientific bell. I do not want another shot of Bud Light right now. Why am I having to do this? What? Drink. The things that I, as a doctor, have to endure. I just cannot believe you're making me do this.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I'm not making you do this. Yes, you suggested it on the air. Oh, so a suggestion is making. Okay, I'll stop. Cool, we're good. I'm making you do it. Now I'm making you do it. I thought so.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I thought so. But, I mean, it's going to be... I should have recorded your consent before you started. That's what every porn director says. And you are... You're way too far down that road, as I'm sure many people have found out. I think it's one of those things where you have... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Because of the world we're living in, I do want you to record your consent right now.
Starting point is 00:14:52 That I'm not making it do it. Oh, you do? Drink. Drink. Oh, I don't... Drink. Drink. I don't... Drink it now and then record your consent. You know, I will say this to the camera. I feel forced into doing this, and I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Please don't make me laugh. I think I have tuberculosis. Okay. There's another beer down. Okay. Right too. This is unbelievable. I can't. This is what my career has come to.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I mean, I'm, that's weird because this is how my career started. You've had some success, too. Maybe I picked this up as a daily. Can I tell you something? The show would be much better if I was drunk. I did have an idea. It really would be. I would be off the air in 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I think it would take me 20 minutes. In this environment? In this environment, it'd take me 20 years. I've heard some of those old shows. Yes, you would. I'd be off in 20 minutes. I had this idea for a while ago. I think now in the middle of doing this,
Starting point is 00:15:46 maybe there's something we bring back. A show called The Political Power Hour. And you just get around. It's like News and Why It Matters. It's a panel. And we just all do a power hour and we just talk politics. Oh, I love that. Oh, I love that.
Starting point is 00:15:57 By the end of it, it's a disaster. I can be the host of that. I'll be the host of that. I'll be sober. I'm the driver. This is a great idea. I'm the driver. See, this is why alcohol is good.
Starting point is 00:16:04 We are doing once a month a power hour. Yes, I love this. We are. We'll get everybody from the blaze. You know, the drinks. This is bad. This is a bad. You're setting a bad example, Mr. Beck.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But I mean, imagine the commentary. It's science. Exactly. Science is important. You know, I mean, they always say Republicans are against science. Well, I'm drinking on the air. How about that?
Starting point is 00:16:27 I'm so dedicated to science. I'm slamming down six beers in an hour. today. That's right. And I, you know, we're getting to that point. Now, I'm not a heavy drinker. I do not drink often. But when I do drink, I like to have a few. Yeah, but I don't ever even recall hearing stories of you ever being falling down drunk. Wait till like to get nominated for the Supreme Court. I know. You're going to hear a lot of them. I was going to say, except your college years.
Starting point is 00:16:57 By the way, when you're running the game. Eagle shot glass. Yeah, I got. Drink. Super Bowl champions. So you know there were 300 arrested yesterday in the Capitol. 300 people. We've got to play this interaction between Orrin Hatch and some protester. Just play it right now, please. I don't know if we have it.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Do we have it? We were talking about this morning. I was going to pull it for News and Why It Matters, which, by the way, I have to do after this show, which is going to be a complete disaster. Yeah, that'll be good. Because without any of the fun of actually drinking, I'm just going to be stammering through some stupid analysis. I'm anxious to hear your commentary with Bill O'Reilly and your comments during and after
Starting point is 00:17:38 the Kavanaugh vote. I will say, if I could get drunk for every Bill O'Reilly interview, I'm in on that team. I am in. Stop it. Stop. I'm going to be coughing. I'm going to be coughing a blood. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I swear to you, I'm going to plop, pop a blood vessel in my head. Every time I cough, my head hurts. so bad. Not pleasant. Okay. I do not recommend this, by the way. Well, before the commercial break, I believe you have to take two more
Starting point is 00:18:12 shots. No, I'm on schedule, Marissa. I know. I know. I'm just saying before the commercial break. So the Kavanaugh thing, is it going to go? I don't know. I think right now, I've gone to my head, I think the answer is
Starting point is 00:18:28 he is going to get confirmed. I think so too. Though, I mean, we hide camp is out. So you have only Manchin, Murkowski, Collins, and Flake. And Flake, Collins seems to be the most positive, oddly, of the bunch, at this point.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Flake made some positive comments, but as he does, nine seconds later, oh, if somebody stops him and says, he might change. Yeah, exactly. Could. Go ahead. Go ahead. There's so many. Go ahead. There's so much beer in such a little
Starting point is 00:19:00 time. I know. drink. I'm working on it. I have the whole minute. I have the whole minute. It's just not good. I mean, it's not something you want to do with yourself. Power hours are designed for college students,
Starting point is 00:19:17 not for adults who are on national radio. Okay, so let me ask you this. Now that I read all of the definitions of boofing, where boofing is, you know, apparently, you know, a funnel to your butt. As an alcohol. that's technically not drinking are you drunk do you think that's a great observation do you think that's a loophole or
Starting point is 00:19:46 look it's up to them to close the loophole aren't you it's not your it's not your job to make the laws it's their job how oh boy how screwed up do you have to be to think I got to pour a bunch of beer in my butt Mercury you're listening to the Glenn Beck program
Starting point is 00:20:07 Some of my behavior was self-destructive. Yes, it was. Uh-oh. I'd drink a six-pack in an hour before going back to class. He sounds high in this interview. He does. You know, if you watch it, he seems like he... So we're doing a science experiment.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Would stew be qualified to be on the Supreme Court or president of the United States? Swallow. Don't shoot it through your nose. It won't count. You'll have to drink another one. You know. Will he be qualified? He is now about three and a half beers in, in an hour.
Starting point is 00:20:44 He has to drink six beers just like Barack Obama did. And I had a point I was going to go to, and I do not remember. I will say this. So I've recently discovered that our own... Show's about to get good, guys. No, our own Keith Malinac, who a producer of this program for many years, and now a producer of the Pat Gray Unleashed program on the Blaze Radio Network. and television networks,
Starting point is 00:21:07 is currently mirroring, which was a hard word to say in the state, mirroring my drinking in the other room off the air. Like, that's not a, that's not a air bit. He's just drinking at work. Yeah. That's a different thing. Yeah. Keith.
Starting point is 00:21:25 HR. By the way, I'm not paying you for today's work. This is the most effort I put into a show in many years. Oh, I mean, these are hard. It's not even even the beer at this point. It's just there's so much carbonation. By the way. I'm overloaded by carbonation.
Starting point is 00:21:46 My whole body is carbonated. By the way, we are less than an hour away from the Kavanaugh vote. I'm so glad I'm drunk for this. Oh, man, I would give my right arm for a bottle of jab. Let me talk you into drinking. Look, it's been a long time. You were sober for a long time. Those days, you know, you remember a lot of times you do this.
Starting point is 00:22:06 You talked to Malcolm Gladwell yesterday, and he talked to you about how you always remember the past well. Was it really that bad for you when you were drinking? Maybe you should just try a little. I've got extras. Now, I just want you to know that your career is directly tied to mine. Oh, I think you'd be really fun on the air. I don't think it would affect your life negatively. I don't think it would affect the show.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Oh, no. It'd make the show really entertaining. For about six months until you were dead. No, in this atmosphere, it would be one good. good show. I tell you what, the day I retire is the day I do it drunk. How's that? That's actually, because I'll be close to death and, you know, after, you know, when you're close to death, it's like, give me the fentanyl patch. Just let me go out. Well, uh, I, now you obviously will be immediately divorced after that, which is something you should probably consider, um,
Starting point is 00:22:57 but I'm for it. I don't care about your life. You think my wife, you think my wife lasts that long. This, I really start to shake apart. You think my wife is like sticking around. I gotta say I love Tanya. I cannot believe she's still around. I mean, I've known her for a long time. I can't believe she's still in town. This is, again, this is something that she could have taken a plane. She could take a jet at any time with half of the money.
Starting point is 00:23:19 You go to St. Barts, you go to St. Cits. You just disappear. I don't know. I mean, she's got all the accounts. She did tell me. That was one of the conditions. She said, you take one drink and I walk. I take the kids.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I take the money. I walk. And I believe her. Oh, I believe her, too. I think she should walk, whether you have a drink or not, honestly. But you know what? She really, in many ways, in many ways. I mean, the whole, the whole, I used to love cigars going, going, going, hanging out with Ben the other day.
Starting point is 00:23:50 And they were all smoking cigars. Oh, I'd love to have a good cigar. And the last time I smoked one, I was smoking and Tanya looked at me. It was re-first started dating. And she said, I just can't imagine myself smoking. I can't imagine myself kissing somebody who had smoked a cigar and I looked at that cigar
Starting point is 00:24:13 and then I looked at her and looked at the cigar and looked at her and I kissed the cigar and said goodbye my love and that was it and the Cuban economy failed for the final time drink I mean how are you feeling? Go ahead
Starting point is 00:24:28 drink I mean not physically how are you feeling mentally drink and answer the question I'm a doctor just so you know this is all being done under scientific. I mean, I even have the coat. Although I am a little upset that I don't have Dr. Beck embroidered right here. I need to have that.
Starting point is 00:24:45 You should get that. I am a doctor. You are a doctor. Thank you. I, uh, I, uh, I, by the way, universities, I only have one doctorate. I am looking for a second. We should pile them on for you.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I feel like we should get it. I'll take it from any, I'll take it from a college in Mexico. I don't care. I mean, you can get papers published anywhere, apparently. Yeah. You should start doing it. Matt. You should start submitting like chapters of Mind Kampf for scientific studies. Can you believe that? That actually happened. I know. If you don't know, and hopefully we're going to have these guys on, well, I don't know when, but we're reaching out.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I think earlier mid-next week, we're working on the details on that. So these guys, they're scientists. He's starting to get mad. His temperament, I just want you to know, he's beginning to show temperament unbecoming of a Supreme Court justice. I could totally rule on something right now. I think Kavanaugh should get a beer sponsorship, and he should sit up there, pounded him during oral arguments, and then... Don't say oral and Brett Kavanaugh at the same time.
Starting point is 00:25:48 So did someone have a Me Too mom? Oh my God, that's four down. We're four beers in. Okay. Can I ask you something? Can I ask you something? Are you man enough? Are you man...
Starting point is 00:25:59 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 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?
Starting point is 00:26:28 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. I should not be on the Supreme Court, largely because I would rule completely out of spite at this point. If I, and this is, we talked about this before. We were not fans of Kavanaugh as a nominee.
Starting point is 00:26:52 So you need to start boring this stuff. No, no, I guess. We were not fans of Kavanaugh as an nominee. I know it. Look, and I will point this out, and I pointed this out to Trump support. orders. 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.
Starting point is 00:27:20 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:27:45 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 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. I'm trying to distract myself from that stupid sound that I know. was coming around the corner at any time.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Okay. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Oh, by the way, Bill O'Reilly's coming up. We have the vote in the Senate in less than an hour. Also, we have John Christ. John is a comedian that is actually taking the country by storm. Yeah. Taking the country by storm, drink.
Starting point is 00:28:29 He is, he's, he's. Oh, my God. he's on national tour now a lot of people don't know who he is it's the it is the internet sensation he's got like half a billion views of his uh of his comedy he's going to be on with us in uh in the third hour you don't want to miss that and i'm going to try to convince stew to keep drinking until the vote happens i mean once the vote happens i may pick it back up filter by is our sponsor this half hour you want to talk about filters still oh god that's all i wanted to do right I was talking about air conditioning filters.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah. Can we talk about that? I'm a huge fan of air conditioning filters. You know what it works a lot like? What's that? Your liver. So if... It's not my favorite point.
Starting point is 00:29:14 So in other words, if you put a bunch of crap in the system, your liver, you know, kind of filters all of that out. Right. But at some point, at some point, if you don't, if you just keep putting crap in it, you have to change the... the filter. You see what I'm saying, Stu? Keep up where you're like you're going and you're going to need a liver transplant. That you can't get at liverby.com.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I really want to register that website. Is liverby.com a thing? I would totally subscribe to that. You would what? I would totally subscribe to that. Thank you. It's hard to get through that word. It's two syllables, though. Give me a break. Wow, too. Filter by, try your last name. Filterby.com. America's leading provider for HVAC filters, for businesses, and for homes, and if you just to ask them, just deliver it as I'm supposed to get them every, I don't know, six months, three months, eight months.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I have no idea. You're doing a really good job with this, and you've had no alcohol. That's right. You can go to filterby.com. Drink. Filter by. This is horrible. This is a horrible day.
Starting point is 00:30:32 He did this. Intentionally and then went to school. He did this. It's hard. I mean... Would it be easier if he just chugged all six? Jeffrey came up to me yesterday. He's like, oh, I could do that.
Starting point is 00:30:46 One beer every 10 minutes, no big deal. I mean, it doesn't... One beer in 10 minutes is not a big deal. Six beers in 60 minutes feels like a big deal. Pardon my TB. filterby.com. Go there now. Filterby.com. Stu is now on to his sixth beer. This is a, this is a experiment. This is science. Don't worry. I am monitoring him and I am a doctor of humanities. I'm onto my dessert beer. By the way, community brewery here in Texas. They've got a snickerdoodle ale that they bring out. I had one left, brought it in today. It tastes like a snickerdoodle.
Starting point is 00:31:29 It tastes like what? A snickerdoodle. That's a hard. word to say for any person. Oh, it is. I know it is. Snickerdoodle cookie. Many people, many people they'll be trying to say, I'll just have a son of a little. It happens all the time. Here's the thing. Let me make a serious point here, Glenn, before we end the hour. Bill O'Reilly coming up, vote coming up after that. Stations, we are carrying the vote live. Yeah. So, you. Hang on, serious point coming up. You stopped drinking at the wrong time. I know I did. They have incredible, these microbrews that are out now, this beer is, is, is,
Starting point is 00:32:03 is it may taste like a cookie. Snickerdoodle ale by community brewery. Maybe it is a cookie. Maybe it is. And here's the point. Let me smell it. You can smell it if you want to smell it, but don't drink it because I won't drink it. I don't want to be responsible for it.
Starting point is 00:32:15 My point, though, here is... People think, people think, can I drink around you? Yes, you can drink around me. The small government... It smells like beer to me. The small government aspect of this, which is important, is the reason why you have all these great beers now and all these great microbrews is because forever, the U.S. restricted breweries from opening up.
Starting point is 00:32:36 You couldn't home brew. You couldn't do all these things. The government was in everybody's face. We obviously know about the amendment, the prohibition situation. But this was, they really did restrict this for a long time. And they kept innovation out of this.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And now you can go all up. Thank God. I guess I was so bored with that conversation. By the way, we have, can we get the blood pressure stuff in here? here, Stephen. What I'd like to do, I'd like to do an experiment during the vote. I want to take my blood pressure because I just saw Diane Feinstein. She's now speaking on the floor of the Senate.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And as you were talking about whatever you were talking about, my blood pressure just went through the roof. And I want to, during the vote, I want to check my blood pressure against your blood pressure because I bet your blood pressure is going to be totally fine. Is this an, you're advocating for alcohol? I am. If we have to live with these politicians, I think we might, and I'm a doctor, I'm only saying this from a position of science. I think we should all be drunk. I feel like drunk is better.
Starting point is 00:33:45 As a person who's experienced both in the middle of a news cycle, this feels better. Okay. So I'd like to, you're almost done. Not more. You're almost done. You've only got like four more. And there's nothing better than drinking a whole six-pack and then polishing off cookies. it's torture it's too much you don't need this much alcohol
Starting point is 00:34:07 they put it in cans for individual servings for a reason right you know you just have one yeah yeah whatever it's great no that's why they increase I really you know this is an honest statement I do not understand people who say I drink you know I just drink you know I just I just enjoy a drink or two why would you drink that stuff if it had no alcohol content in it no maybe beer maybe beer yeah there's some beers that are good and beer and wine maybe something like you know a Moscow mule is pretty delicious I don't know what that is it's a ginger beer vodka lime it's a delicious
Starting point is 00:34:43 drink that is there was a there was a trendiness to it at some point I've got my second set of kids going into teenage years I really need some good blackouts soon I'm gonna need some blackouts can I balance is there a thing as responsible alcoholism to where you're blacking out, but you're only blacking out when you need them. Since you're forcing me to do this, I want to take a moment to try to convince you to start drinking.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Since you're torturing me, let me ruin your life for a moment. You can't. Why not? This is the thing that every alcoholic says just before they break. I'm impervious to it. I have to finish this beer before the end of the hour.
Starting point is 00:35:30 How much time do I have, Sarah? Ten seconds. One minute. Oh my God. Are you done? No, I have more. Oh, God. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Somebody get a bucket. Now, would you go to class? Now, this is better than I thought you would be. Oh, my God. This is a really good lesson, kids. I'm going to turn my microphone off at this point because I don't want to, I don't want to ruin any FCC. Ajit Pai is listening right now. He's like,
Starting point is 00:36:04 Listen to this disaster going down One more And then I'm done Oh my god I got 30 seconds One more down One more down 30 seconds Are you feeling sick?
Starting point is 00:36:17 Or you? I don't feel good I don't feel good but I do not feel good at all Now Oh god this is Dorjar Oh no the music's on Oh God I don't want to do one more
Starting point is 00:36:28 Do you mix A six-pack With Bill O'Reilly Oh, God. And then throw on top of it the Senate vote on Kavanaugh. Oh, my God, that was horrible. That is going to be our two of the Glenn Beck program next. I did it.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I did it. I got it. Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way. He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing. Glenn Beck Live, the addicted to outrage tour, on tour this fall. You believe in coincidence? 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:38:43 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 them in the water. and see if he floats.
Starting point is 00:39:11 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:57 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. The anniversary of the Me Too movement were 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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 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.
Starting point is 00:41:16 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. I also think I wouldn't want to be around her in the afterlife if she was lying.
Starting point is 00:41:57 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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 And what they've done to the Kavanaugh family is very, 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, we'll be the standard for all of us and our children. It's Friday, October 5th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I guess maybe I should have taken off my Dr. Beck white jacket for that monologue. But Stu, I'm still, 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, you know, 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.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I don't know. How do you think this Kavanaugh thing's going to come down? I think it would be confirmed afternoon. He's going to, I guess, I'd say, 60, 40 at this time. But I think he's going to be very hard. this last gap for any Republican to vote against him because there's new information.
Starting point is 00:44:25 And I don't know whether you guys know the new information because the media is not reporting it, including Fox News. According to Wall Street Journal, Dr. Ford's people, that includes her lawyers and her advisors,
Starting point is 00:44:43 tried to get a woman named Leland Keezer to change her testimony. That is in the FBI report, apparently. Now, Lealing Kieser 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 and 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,
Starting point is 00:45:19 texted Kieser and said, hey, you've got to change your testimony. You've got to help Christine. That's a huge story. Well, there is- There is also another story that 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. Schumer or Diane Feinstein at this point that they are corrupt. So, Bill, should there...
Starting point is 00:45:59 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. Yep. Because she was applying for a job of the FBI. This now bolsters the ex-boyfriends account. Now, this may seem in the weeds,
Starting point is 00:46:28 but if the Judiciary Committee, and I believe Grassley may do this, 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 lie to us about the lie detector test. If that happens, Ford could be prosecuted. Now, I don't think it will.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I think it should. It should. I think it should, too. Here's the thing. Anybody. Kavanaugh lied or four 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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,
Starting point is 00:47:28 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 00:47:44 And as soon as he, I'm sorry to ask Stu, he's been drinking this morning, Bill. You wouldn't believe it. Yeah, it's bad. They have him arrested. Bill, I like to be drunk for all of your interviews, if that's okay. That's right, Stu.
Starting point is 00:47:58 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 four, but there's been five accusers. Yeah, yeah. This is the Newport Harbor guy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:17 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?
Starting point is 00:48:50 We don't care. Yeah. You know, if some guy didn't do something like Kavanaugh, 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've 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
Starting point is 00:49:19 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. 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. The same outfits are doing it.
Starting point is 00:49:58 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, then you have an organized coordinated effort with tens of millions of dollars courtesy of George Soros and others, okay,
Starting point is 00:50:23 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,
Starting point is 00:50:41 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. 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. Gee, do you think so? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:10 You know, it's not the right. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, no, no, no. I love the banjo. It's not a banjo, but... It's not a banjo, but... It's not even remotely close to a banjo. Have you ever heard instruments before, Bill?
Starting point is 00:51:25 You better watch it, man. I know where you live. All right, we're about 10 minutes from the beginning of the key Senate vote with Kavanaugh. Bill will be with us. We'll continue our conversation here in a second. First, let me tell you about Car Shield. Taking your car in for an oil change, the mechanic finds something wrong. Surprise! you're hit with a big repair bill.
Starting point is 00:51:46 That has happened to all of us, and it hadn't happened to you yet. Where have you been? Because it's going to. If you are not covered, if your warranty has run out, you need car shield. You need extended vehicle protection.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Don't worry about those surprises. If your car breaks down after the warranty expires, you could be out of pocket for thousands of dollars. But you don't have to worry about it if you have car shield. I have car shield. You have a car 5,000. you know, 150,000 miles. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Get it covered. Get it covered with Car Shield. 800 Car 6100. That's 800 Car 60100. Use the promo code back and you're going to save 10% at CarShield.com or call them right now before you have to bring that thing in and have it repaired. 1-800 Car-Sheel 100. promo code back at carsheel.com deductibles apply. What's your blood pressure?
Starting point is 00:52:48 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 145 over 98, and my pulse is 120.
Starting point is 00:53:08 145 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. I know.
Starting point is 00:53:18 That's how this works. Wow. It's a big book coming out. When does it come out, Bill? Is it Tuesday? Tuesday. It's really good. Really good.
Starting point is 00:53:26 The worst war criminals in history. Tuesday advance. And books already sold $75,000 in advance sales. Wow. And you only have that. And you only have 70,000. $21,000 in his drunk of your car, which is nice. Yeah, I know. And you know, the gas is going up. It's really good.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I know. 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. He's already out of it. He's leaving, right? He's leaving. No, that's true, but I don't think Flake wants to go out on that note.
Starting point is 00:54:26 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. 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, this is a really important vote. And who knows what happens in 12 hours even if something goes wrong. But I thought to my daughter and I was like, you know what, I would totally leave. Oh, I would leave. I would leave. My daughter's wedding. Is that the right choice? Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Yeah, I mean, I'm, 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 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.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Why are we using 1700s technology for these 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. 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. The book is about evil. And my contention is that most Americans don't understand evil.
Starting point is 00:56:00 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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. It weren't assassins.
Starting point is 00:56:56 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. All right. We have Bill O'Reilly.
Starting point is 00:57:16 We have Mitch McConnell still yakking. Can we keep him in the background just a little bit? 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.
Starting point is 00:57:36 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. Orrin 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. Orrin Hatch. There he is. He might have been praying. No, or an end. Mantra is, I want to go home. Yes. Please. Please.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Orrin Hatch had a really funny confrontation with a protester in the elevator. Yeah. Did you see that, Bill? Yeah, I thought. Yeah, I mean, 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.
Starting point is 00:58:36 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. Absolutely. Yeah, it's amazing that that's still around at this point in the Me Too movement, right, Bill?
Starting point is 00:58:56 Well, what about Katz? The main lawyer for Christine Ford. She exonerated Al-Frank. Oh, that out. Oh, come on. He's a comedian. No. All right. So look, everybody, anybody, anybody,
Starting point is 00:59:14 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 it. a fair thing, but this is ridiculous. You're asking for people to basically
Starting point is 00:59:40 change their opinions. That's very rare. All scientific studies on politics show that people loathes to change their opinion. They don't like to admit they were wrong. All right, it's just human nature. But what this is going to do
Starting point is 00:59:57 is give the Republicans a real strong point one, two 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 to in for just a second.
Starting point is 01:00:14 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 role. Mr. Alexander. Oh, my God. That's happened. Ms. Baldwin Mr. Barrasso
Starting point is 01:00:35 Mr. Bennett 2 to 2. Mr. Blumenthal Mr. Blunt. Mr. Booker Mr. Bozeman Notice they didn't say it so we can hear it. Mr. Brown.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Mr. Burr. Ms. Cantwell. It's a big moment in American history. This is a pivot point. Mr. Cardin. What does this mean, Bill, for...
Starting point is 01:01:04 history either direction. I don't know yet. I mean, I can't speculate on that. I can just, I know, I'm pretty good at 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, that was my best that I ever did. Right now, I am feeling, 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 01:01:54 but you've got to remember, is a powerful, powerful, powerful corrupt lobby that is driving the me-to thing. And the media is... Hang on. Flake. What was Flake? This is Jillibrand. We'll give you that in a second. Sorry, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Mr. Graham. Mr. Grassley. Aye. Ms. Harris. Ms. Harris. Okay. I thought so, too. Ms. Hassan.
Starting point is 01:02:22 You have to understand that the media in conjunction with the fanatics, the zeal. Powerful. Powerful to drive things. Ms. High Camp. I can't pull on. Stop.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Hold on. Mr. Heller. She's a no. Hello. Hello. A yes being is a big one. Mr. Hoven. Mrs. Hyde-Smith.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Yeah. Murkowski. Mr. Inhoff. Mr. Isaacson. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Jones. Mr. Cain. Mr. Kennedy.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Mr. King. House is a big one. Ms. Klobuchar. Mr. Kyle. Mr. Linkford. Mr. Leahy, Mr. Lee, Mr. Mansion, Mr. Markey. What did he say?
Starting point is 01:03:33 Mrs. McCaskill. Here comes Markowski. Mr. McConnell. Mr. Menendez. Almost there. Mr. Merkley. A lot of Mums. Mr. Moran.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Okay, come on. Right. Stop it. Ms. Murkowski. Silence, so we don't know. Mr. Murphy. We'll know soon. We didn't know on Mansion or Makowski.
Starting point is 01:04:05 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 toll is. We don't know yet.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Yeah. Now, again, this is not the final vote. They're going to end the close debate, and then they'll vote tomorrow, and I do believe Kavana 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.
Starting point is 01:04:47 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 a 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 that they're going to take it out on the Democrats.
Starting point is 01:05:18 I think the Democrats think that they control these 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. 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.
Starting point is 01:05:54 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. A lot. A lot. A lot of things here. Collins, one of the big ones. A yes. Flake.
Starting point is 01:06:10 And Flake's a yes. And I'm sure Markowski was a yes. And Mansion, 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? I really feel like they could have had Murkowski. They could have had Collins if they really played this seriously,
Starting point is 01:06:30 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. And all of a sudden, every time I turned around, there was somebody else saying, well, O'Reilly did this. It wasn't true. All right?
Starting point is 01:06:48 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 01:07:17 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 fought me to address it.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Yes. I couldn't save myself. Kavanaugh did. We have a... That's what turned it. It does look like Joe Mansion has voted yes on Kavanaugh.
Starting point is 01:07:47 All right, 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 01:08:08 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. She's finished.
Starting point is 01:08:27 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, Joe, do you think, Bill that we have with Murkowski, the situation where she knew it was going to go through, we 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.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Mm-hmm. Isolates her and puts her as 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.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Well, she could vote yes tomorrow. How? How, though? If she's voting not to advance the nomination to the floor. Well, now it's sitting there. 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.
Starting point is 01:09:32 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. Yeah, 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 right-in ballot in that Senate campaigned several years ago. Does Alaska reward Murkowski after this with another election?
Starting point is 01:10:04 I mean, that's a... I don't think so. I don't think so. They are very independent. They are conservative, but they're very independent and we'll wait and see. Bill, thank you so much. Bill O'Reilly.com. Have a good weekend.
Starting point is 01:10:15 You got it. Talk to you next week. All right. let me tell you about the greatest chair of all time. It is the X chair. The X chair is an office chair I have for my other studio. We had to get another chair for the other studio. Bought the X chair.
Starting point is 01:10:32 They have become advertisers around the same time. And now we have them in here as well. It's a big difference. I was sitting in yesterday. I was doing the live TV show. And I was sitting in that chair and I thought, this is the most comfortable chair I think I've ever sat in. For an office chair where you're, you know, you want to be supported and sit up.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I mean, you know, I don't know if you've tried the cloud, which is this, the worst looking couch ever. Because it just looks like a beanbag chair, but it's really, really comfortable, but no support. That's comfortable. This is great if you are sitting in it for work because you're just sitting up naturally. You're sitting up straight and it's supportive and comfortable. And it looks great, too. There's a big difference. I mean, we had, you know, decent chairs from whatever, you know, big box store we had them from.
Starting point is 01:11:22 And, you know, they're okay. But this is, it's impressive. The difference is impressive. And Stouz's on Truth Serum here. He's got a six-pack in him. So, I mean, what is he going to do? I mean, after this vote, I think maybe I open up another one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:40 All right. Okay. We have John Chris on, which I'm sure he's going to be very comfortable. in here. Comedian John Chris joins us in just a little while. Anyway, the X-Chair is on sale now for $100 bucks off, but if you go to X-Chair.com, that's the letter X-Chairbeck.com

The Senate has voted 51-49 to advance the Kavanaugh nomination. It looks as though tomorrow he will get the nomination and be confirmed. However, there's a couple of wrenches in this, and we will talk about that coming up next hour. Also, we're going to just break for just a second and just have some laughs. There is a guy who, a ton of people, about half a billion views on YouTube, John Christ, he happens to be in town, and everybody in this building is trying to snag tickets.
Starting point is 01:13:05 And I thought, the best way to get tickets is to put him on the radio and then just say, hey, we didn't get tickets in time. Can we get some extra tickets? But really, we just wanted to promote him. and have him in for a few minutes. So he's really, really funny. We'll have John Chris when we come back. And then more on the Senate.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Pat Gray joins us. And of course, more with Stu, who is already six-pack plus one into his Friday festivities. More on the Glenn Beck program coming up. Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way. He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing. Glenback Live, the addicted to outrage tour, on tour this fall.
Starting point is 01:13:56 It's Friday, October 5th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. So John Christ is a comedian that you may or may not know. Tons of people know him. He's playing at the Verizon. Is it the Verizon, isn't it? Verizon Theater this weekend. And absolutely everyone in this building has said,
Starting point is 01:14:16 so can you get any tickets? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm not in the ticket business. You want to come down? You're, you are sold out almost everywhere you go. Yeah. Up and coming comedian.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah. And you, you don't necessarily come from a comedian, typical comedian, hard living background. I feel like that's a, that's a side compliment. That's a comedy.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I don't know if you know anything about me, but you seem like you're doing okay. Yeah. He seemed like a normal person. You're supposed to have angst and be angry. Well, you know, my dad is actually, he was a pastor for 30 years, and then he became the mayor. And I'm a comedian. And he said this, I thought this was interesting.
Starting point is 01:15:00 He said, we're all kind of doing the same thing, me and you. He goes, we look at the world. We don't like what's happening, right? And you, y'all the same. So he first tried to fix it by changing people's hearts in church. and then he tried to fix it by changing laws, right? And I'm doing the same thing. I see it.
Starting point is 01:15:21 I'm trying to fix it by like changing people's mind. Have you ever heard a well thought out comedy bit? You're like, oh, man, that is so true. And it changes the way you think about it. Because comedy, it breaks down the walls of like, ah, you're like, oh, man, that's hilarious. So what is your, so then what are you trying to change? What are you trying to? Oh, well, I mean, I would prefer is somebody that's just going to.
Starting point is 01:15:45 to change me from an angry person to give me 90 minutes of not caring about anything. Yeah, and that's what that's what a lot of people say at our comedy shows is like we, you know, we, we, we had, we had, uh, she has a cancer and she came to my show. She's thinking, but every, she goes every minute of my day, I think about this disease in my body, but for that two hours that at your show, I felt like I was free. And that's it. That's all we're trying to do, you know what I'm saying? But it gets harder and harder, I suppose, every day.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Yeah. Is it hard to not talk about things that are? Well, the good thing about being a comedian is I don't have to have like a stance. You kind of have to have like a stance. Like what does he, they tune in to know what you think about. I just had to make it like, someone's like, what do you think about? I was like, I don't have to. I don't have to, really.
Starting point is 01:16:34 Like, I don't know. It's not really. But if it's funny, because a lot of times comedians now, if you look at your explorer page on Twitter for comedians, it's like, it's not funny. It's like, yeah. They're going for, they're going for claptor. Yeah, or like, I'm not a politician. I'm not like a sociologist. I'm here to make people laugh.
Starting point is 01:16:54 And if you want to, you want to get politics, you can go to. Yeah, whatever. You can get that. That's not my job, at least on the internet. Yeah, Amy Schumer was arrested yesterday at the protests. I saw that. I saw that. Yeah. Amy Schumer was a, at one point, and I know this is going to be shocking to everybody in the audience,
Starting point is 01:17:10 a brilliant comedian. Great. Yeah, she's great. She really is. And she's famous. has turned her into an activist who gets arrested at rallies. Right. And that's a totally different world.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Give me another three weeks. I'm not that famous. You know, I tell you, though, I think that the smart comedians are the ones like Gaffigan. Yeah, they're just like, hey, you don't think Jim Gaffigan is a taxpaying working. You don't think he has political opinion? Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Of course he does. But he's like, yeah, that's not really. Now, some people are politically minded and smart. and you're like, oh, it's a, but some people are like, you're like, oh, yeah, you don't know what you're talking about. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I have no idea. But that's why you, I mean, your comedy is different because you were told,
Starting point is 01:17:56 uh, write what you know, right? Yeah, well, all right, so I grew up in church. I grew up in the South. My dad's a pastor. I was homeschooled, one of eight kids. You can probably guess politically where we fall. Right, right. So like, I don't, but like, if you, if you're going to, let's say somebody's like,
Starting point is 01:18:11 John, write a joke about. smoking pot. I don't know of that world. So it's not going to be, the extent of my knowledge is going to be like, smoke pot and then went to Taco Bell. Like that's all I, I know the 80,000 foot view of that life,
Starting point is 01:18:29 but if you're talking about like Christian culture, growing up in church, the south of sports, like these are kind of areas where I have like, I have this bit of this was like, a lady that has a Bible verse for every type of situation. and people are like, how'd you memorize all those verses?
Starting point is 01:18:44 Like, that's in my head. That's just, I've lived that life. It's just in my head. I don't have to memorize. That's just who. So you're going to be a great comic. You stick to what, and you know. And a lot of people say you should, like, when I went, I lived in Hollywood for four or five years.
Starting point is 01:18:57 And they were like, hey, you need to get rid of this, like, Christian angles because it doesn't appeal to everybody. Really? You cannot get tickets to any of your shows. Yeah, well, apparently somebody's coming. Yeah. As it turns out. Yeah. But I don't think, you don't think like you in today, there's so, like it used to be when, like, Johnny Carson could put you on the Tonight Show and you could be famous forever.
Starting point is 01:19:23 And that would make your career. If you invited you over the couch as a comedian. Yeah. Gary Shanling was, you're set for life. And you could tour the United States for the rest of your life. But now there's so much HBO, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube. There's so much. You don't need to be broad.
Starting point is 01:19:40 I was in Cleveland. and there was the theater right across in a comedy club and it was sold out. There was a line around the block. And I go, who's performing? You would think like the Beatles or someone like, it's like some kid I never heard of. Yeah, no, it's, I go, that's amazing.
Starting point is 01:19:54 It's amazing to me where you don't have to just go see, and comedy's very subjective. So you could love someone to be like, Glenn, check this guy out and you could be like, not for me. Yeah, right? Yeah. Because comedy is very subjective. You can't tell him, you can't tell him it's not funny.
Starting point is 01:20:11 Like, what? This is the guy's funny to me. Yeah. So that's what I've experienced so far. So, you know, one of the things that when I was... I feel like, does anybody tell you you look like somebody? Don't, don't say it. You want to do this or not?
Starting point is 01:20:25 You know how bad it is? Somewhere Colonel Sanders is like, I know. I look like Glenn Beck. I know. I was going to go in a different direction. I don't know if you ever heard this before. I feel like you look like Dave Ramsey with hair. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:20:41 David actually really He's a good looking man. He's a good looking man. All right, this is making me a little uncomfortable, but hey, it's a new world. Better than you deserve. So when I was...
Starting point is 01:20:52 Now, this isn't helping because the story I'm going into, but when I proposed my wife, she said no. Okay. Wouldn't you, though? John... Let's be real. What year was this?
Starting point is 01:21:05 This is in the 90s. Okay, yeah. Okay. It's the rational response, right? It's the 90s. All right. I'm just trying to get an error. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Okay. So she said, no. And she said, the reason why is because we don't have God in common. And I said, I'm, you know, I believe in God and everything else. And she said, you don't go to church. And I said, I see you every Sunday after church. And every time you come home talking about the people who are honking at each other and yelling at each other in the parking lot. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:32 Yeah. You know, it's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy how people are in church and they're fine. But they're looking at their watch like, okay, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They won out. You've seen that video of mine.
Starting point is 01:21:45 Road rage in the church parking lot. I make all these, I make two videos a week, and some of them connect and some of them don't. Just probably like your content or your books. Sometimes those people are like, yes. Thank you. We needed that. And sometimes you put your heart and soul into something. Everybody's like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:00 You're like, what? Was that one that connected or not? That one connected is huge. Yeah, because I don't think you even have to be a Christian to or a church-going person to. You've heard about that. from your wife. Did you like, yeah, I know how it goes in there. She's like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:14 And it's just the, what's funny is the juxtaposition of, oh, we love Jesus, you know, God first, serve others. How do you lose it? You're like 20 steps away. That's the human spirit. Wouldn't you say? Like, if you, like, you see someone on TV and they're given a rundown and you just go,
Starting point is 01:22:35 that's not right. It doesn't seem, right? You're like, that guy's lying. You just know because everyone is a human. You're like you can spot insincerity and why everybody loves that is because everyone, when people get mad at my jokes at the live show, because you're going to come and the whole crew is going to come tonight. So it'll be perfect.
Starting point is 01:22:53 You can get tickets? We're coming. Yeah, of course. Yeah. We'll bring up on stage. Seriously, people are like stabbing each other for tickets. That's what I, that's what our goal. Right.
Starting point is 01:23:03 I mean, it's a good, clean comedy show. You want a few good deaths at the ticket booth. The people are like, whenever I tell a joke, it's like across the line. I go, oh, stop. I know you guys text each other this personally. You know what I'm saying? I know, like, when the radio, when the mics go off, you, and like, if there's an interview, they're like, come on, it would be real, this guy.
Starting point is 01:23:23 Like, because that's how humans. Or say it on. Yeah, because that's how humans and people, I feel like I've connected with you because you're like, somebody's like telling us the truth out here. You know what I'm saying? And that's what people, I think comedy, people are like, Like is comedy hard in 2018? I go, I think it's way easier.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Because to cross the line, you don't have to say anything, right? It used to be in the 90s, you had to say the most profane, disgusting. I never even, I can't believe this is coming out of someone's mouth. But in 2018, we heard everything. We've seen everything. So it's kind of coming back to like a Jimmy Fallon type. I said years ago that I thought the only thing left shocking, was what an individual actually felt.
Starting point is 01:24:13 That's the only thing left shocking. What you really are feeling and want to say, but you don't. It's like, I can't believe you said that. Yeah. Like, why have a joke in my act about it? Like, you've ever been like, we're all good Christians in here? But you ever been driving down the road and seen that cyclist on the side of the road? Like, I wonder if I just like, like, why is that, why does that, why does everyone,
Starting point is 01:24:34 That joke has stayed in my show for about four years because it everyone. Yeah. Because you have. But what's at the bottom of that? You want to be the person in church. And then the real human is the guy. Because we all have a dark side. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:50 Is the guy. Now, some might be, some might be better or worse than other than some might be, some might be against the law and some not. Right. Some might actually turn the wheel a little bit. The reason why the outrage and the culture and people are coming after Kavanaugh, because you were like, if we can notch him down, I feel like, that's why the tabloids exist. That's why Twitter, the outrage exists because you think these people are above you.
Starting point is 01:25:16 The people listening that are like, Glenn Beck is up here. No, the people listening, no. Okay, yeah, yeah. They listen because they're like, I'm better than that dude. I am much better than that dude. So when everybody starts out on even playing field and then you get, you know, that's what you get rich or, famous or successful or the CEO. You be down here and him be up here
Starting point is 01:25:39 is not sit well with people. So if we can somehow expose them as a human and that's what I've said in my act for long to, every scandal that ever comes out, pastor, politics, athlete, that headlines should be person acts like human. Right?

Starting point is 01:26:09 Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, like, are he, you know. That was the kind of the thing, and I don't want to get into politics. Oh, we're good. But the thing with Kavanaugh was agree or disagree on how the vote goes or whatever. People who said, I can't believe he was angry. You called him a gang rapist. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The ATM hasn't worked for a week. My joke is like, they're like, I don't know why these terrorists keep trying to take out the buildings. Just take out the cell phone towers. We're all dead.

Starting point is 01:30:30 John Chris is with us. He's a comedian. He's on tour. You can find all about him at John Christcom. We were just talking in the break about how things have changed for comedians and everybody that you don't need to. I mean, to get an HBO comedy special used to be the big deal. They used to be it. Like if Johnny Carson called you over to the couch.
Starting point is 01:30:53 It was game over. Now, have you done an HBO comedy? No. Yeah. This is my biggest credit. being on your show. I don't know what that says about my career, but yeah. It's sad.
Starting point is 01:31:04 That is really sad. This is usually the end of a career. They're like, yeah. Hey, did everybody else? Can we get on anywhere else? Okay, we'll go. Fine. Yeah, we'll go.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Glenn back. Wow, I'm at that point in my career. Where is it on TV? Call your cable. Right. They'll find it. It's a complex. It's very complicated.
Starting point is 01:31:22 But now it is the internet. 100%. I think that the change was Joe Rogan when he had, to me, point that nobody recognized was Joe Rogan having Elon Musk on his show. Yeah. And nobody in the media even knew that he was going to come up. Most people didn't even know that he was going to be on or on or smoke dope or who Joe Rogan even was.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's huge. All of us know who Joe Rogan is. Yes. Like the, like, you know, we're well aware who Joe. And you meet anybody in the airport, like whoever you like Adam Carolla or these huge podcasts. Yeah. Yeah, we know who, like, it's funny in Hollywood, because Adam's talked about this a lot.
Starting point is 01:32:03 No one in Hollywood will touch Adam Carolla because of some of the things he says. Yeah, yeah. But he's the biggest podcast in America. He has anybody like, dude, he loved that Adam Carolla show. It has to be a secret. It's kind of like, it's kind of like, you probably wouldn't get this perspective, but living out in L.A., like it's kind of like Trump voters. No one says, hey, you kind of like have to like.
Starting point is 01:32:28 No, we spend enough time. In LA, because in LA, they were like, Hillary's going to dominate this election. Why do you live in L.A.? I don't know anymore. I live in Nashville. All right. Because they were like, if you're going to be on the Glenn Beck show, you got to be in Nashville. We only have people on from Nashville.
Starting point is 01:32:42 But a lot of those people where the media is produced, I think, is in New York and Los Angeles. And the three-mile radius around Manhattan or Hollywood, I go. But I've been touring in Wichita, Kansas, and in Louisville. I was like, I don't know. There's a lot of Trump supporters out there in the middle. Right. Like in between. Right.
Starting point is 01:33:00 I go, and I see, I just judging the eye test, the signs and the yard test. There's a lot of. Texas is changing. Texas, I mean, we've got Ted Cruz and Beto. No, let's call them O'Rourke. And the yard sign thing here is crazy in Beto's favor. I don't think it's going to happen that way. Who's on whose side?
Starting point is 01:33:21 Who's who? Ted Cruz is the Republican and Beto is the Hispanic. Beto is the Hispanic... Robert Francis O'Rourke is his real name, and he calls himself Beto. And Beto because it's the Hispanic nickname for anybody named Robert. He's O'Rourke. He's an Irish dude. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:33:40 That's like the perfect comedy. We're like, come on, man. That's the comedian's job is to just look at something and be like, come on, dude. Thanks, Sean. Welcome to the program. We're glad you hear. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, which is tearing up the podcast world and literally tearing it up.
Starting point is 01:34:01 I will say podcast numbers. I've seen them. They're huge. Yeah, they are. I mean, it's a big show. It really is. It really is. And who could be more surprised than all of us. But you know who's also doing really well? Fatso. Fatso is doing well. Yeah, Fatso's doing well. Chew the fat. The podcast Chew the fat with Jeff Fisher is like, I know, it would. People like Jeffie. People love Jeffie. And it's inexplicable to us because we hate him. We like literally hate him. I know. I had to write a I had to write a memo to all of the, you know, producers and everybody involved in Team Fat. And, uh, and I was like, I'm, nobody could be more surprised than me.
Starting point is 01:34:36 Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's a really bad guy. But the performance, you know, is, of the podcast is really impressive. All right. So, uh, Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Welcome to the program. Glad you're here. I'm glad to be here.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Are you? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am. Uh, it's, uh, 40, 51, 49, Kavanaugh. So they will vote tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:34:57 However, there is one vote for the Republican side that is going away, and I'd love to get first your gut reaction, and then let's talk about it. Okay. Because my gut reaction was clear, and then thinking about it, I'm like, well, now, wait a minute. You're a Republican senator. You are going to vote for Kavanaugh. It is this close. Yet your daughter is getting married on Saturday. You cannot cast your vote in any other way.
Starting point is 01:35:28 You have to be there. You're across the country, so it's one or the other. My gut was, see ya America. I'm with my daughter. Yeah. Right? I mean, yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Now, let's think about this. You are, because this is Senator Daines. Yeah, from Montana. Okay. So, Senator Dane's from Montana. He's been elected by his people to, to represent them. This is one of the most important game-changing votes of maybe his lifetime.
Starting point is 01:36:04 It will, if the Republicans lose this, it will set the standard of how everything else goes from here. It will teach the left, you can do this to anybody. How do you, because I still would say, I go to my daughter's wedding, but I don't know how I could reconcile that. Well, it depends on do they still win the vote without his? They may not.
Starting point is 01:36:32 If they're at 50-50, I say go to your daughter's wedding. Yeah. If it's... Let's play the game, though. If it's 49, 49, essentially... You'd have to... Well, it would be Pence. Well, no.
Starting point is 01:36:46 Well, yeah. I mean, but again, let's say Mansion switches. Right now, a Democrat, one Democrat, voted for the Republican. So let's say Manchin, who signifies today that he can go and vote for the Republican, but let's say he changes that tomorrow. So it's instead, it's not a sure thing. You need Danes.
Starting point is 01:37:06 I got to say, like, my, it's interesting you said that your gut was, I go with my daughter, but in the end, you rethink that. I kind of had the other opposite thought, which was my initial thought was this is really important. But then I think of my actual daughter, not like, you know, noun daughter, but like my daughter Ainsley, she's getting married. Screw this country. I am there. Like that's like the most important thing in my life.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I did sign up for that job, but I did not sign up to abandon my family. No, you didn't. But your family can, that can be moved. For instance, if the vote is at, you know, 2 o'clock, that is still what? Montana time noon or 11 o'clock. You could say, hey, move that. I'm going to vote at 2 o'clock Eastern time. That's 11 o'clock.
Starting point is 01:37:54 If the ceremony was supposed to start at noon, started at 6, started at 3, and I'll be there. But the opposite is true, too, right? Like move the vote. Yeah, you couldn't move the vote. And that's what they're planning on doing, by the way. If they need Danes, they're going to delay the vote until he comes back. Oh, geez, delay the vote? Well, only if they need him.
Starting point is 01:38:12 Right now, it doesn't look like they need him. We should be clear about that. It looks like it would be 50 to 49. Because that's an easy thing to do. You can just, it doesn't have to be tomorrow at two. No. No. They can delay until Sunday.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Yeah. Very easily. Yeah. Or Monday. But there's that risk of like, you know, some new accusation or some other crazy thing that happens, you know, who knows what the Democrats will try, right? Yeah. There is a risk there.
Starting point is 01:38:36 There is a risk there. But, I mean, I'm not missing my daughter's wedding. Yeah, I don't, I can't see myself missing my daughter's wedding. I can't either. Yeah. I can't. I mean, that's your first responsibility, your family, you know. So if we're the family values party, right?
Starting point is 01:38:51 Like if that's what we really are, people would understand that. So she'd be married in Montana? Yeah. It would be really frustrating though if you lost that on a Supreme Court justice. Uh-huh. Because of a wedding? Because of one.
Starting point is 01:39:03 No, would. That was my first thought. I would. I mean, like that would be really, if you lost that in a good Supreme Court justice over a wedding, that would be frustrating. That wedding changes. Would you want your wedding to be the thing that changed the course of American history.
Starting point is 01:39:20 I wouldn't do. No. You'd almost want to delay your wedding. Yeah, you'd be like, Dad, go vote. I don't want that responsibility on my back over our heads for the rest of our lives.
Starting point is 01:39:28 I think it was on Friends where they said, you know, it's basically just a party. And the bride to be said, if you say it's a party one more time, you will not be invited. Right. Like, it's not a party. It's really important.
Starting point is 01:39:40 And if you're a daughter and you're going through this, you've got to have your dad there. He wants to walk her down the aisle. I mean, there's nothing more you could say about, We always talk about how these people are just like political robots. Like this is a real person with a real daughter with a real priority. And in a way, I really feel like, wow, that's amazing that he's willing to take that stand in this moment. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 01:40:01 But here's the thing, though, also looking again from the daughter's standpoint, would you want your marriage to start with the Kavanaugh thing, one way or another? No, and in this country, she'd probably get death threats. Oh, she probably would. Yeah. It probably would be really ugly. for the whole family. And I don't think Montana has police.
Starting point is 01:40:20 No, there's no police there. There's no police. You're from Montana. You're from Montana. The mean streets. Yes, I am. I've been to those mean streets. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:40:28 So, you're lucky you got out. They have, they have the, the, oxycontin problem. Do they have the heroin problem up in? It's mostly meth.
Starting point is 01:40:39 Meth? Yeah, mostly meth. Crack and meth. Yeah. In Helena. Have you actually seen it change? your town? The crack and meth?
Starting point is 01:40:49 Yeah. Well, seriously. Yeah. Seriously? Yeah, I'm serious. I mean, those are some of the towns. The towns in the middle of the country are the ones that are getting hit the hardest. And people who are in those towns are like, they're watching them just decay because it's just spreading like disease.
Starting point is 01:41:02 No, I don't think in reality. I don't think Helena has a crack meth problem. The mean streets. The mean streets. It's mostly just drive by shootings. Right. It is hitting them, you know, a good chunk of the country, though. It is.
Starting point is 01:41:15 Yeah. saw this vote the other day of a major, you know, quote unquote, bipartisan agreement on opioids. The vote was 98 to 1 in the Senate. And the one vote was Mike Lee. He was the no on the bill. And man, if that doesn't make me hesitate and wonder what the hell is in that thing, you know, I mean, I don't know. I mean, it makes me nervous. I mean, if Mike Lee is voting no on something, it's not like Mike Lee doesn't care about drug victims, right?
Starting point is 01:41:41 Can I just say, I'm sorry, Pat, as a guy. who lives in excruciating pain his whole life as me, a guy who has woken up on the operating table, they cannot keep me down. My body doesn't process that stuff like other people. And I've woken up in the middle of surgery. Scared the hell out of the anesthesiologist. But woken up, they can't keep, they take, it takes fentanyl to keep me down. So I sure do appreciate those drugs. Oh, yeah. I just did an interview with, oh, shoot from the five. He's a friend of ours.
Starting point is 01:42:22 Eric Bowling. Did the first interview with him about his son and opioids and everything else. It's a powerful, powerful interview. But his stance now is those all should be banned. They should not make them at all. The opioids? Any opioids should be banned. They should not be even available to anybody.
Starting point is 01:42:43 I disagree with that. That is so wrong. Yeah. It gives some people an ability to live. It makes life livable. Yeah, you can handle getting through your daily activities. Otherwise, you'd be curled up in a ball in pain somewhere. And you'd end up killing yourself.
Starting point is 01:43:00 Uh-huh. You just would. It's horrific, yeah. Yeah. If you don't have that, I mean, it doesn't even, it doesn't even negate all the pain. It just makes of me not care. Yeah. You just don't care.
Starting point is 01:43:11 You're still in pain. You just don't care as much. And there does seem to be a legitimate medical use for a lot of people to use opioids. And yet it's abuse is different than use. You can get addicted. You do get addicted. You do. Your body, it's only normal.
Starting point is 01:43:27 Your body gets addicted. And it's hell to get off of it. But I don't know about you, but my doctors are really vigilant. Oh, my gosh. They're militant. Oh, my gosh. They are. They've gotten absolutely Nazi-esque about it.
Starting point is 01:43:43 I know your doctor. Because we have the same back doctor. And we were talking about it. And I always bring you up because he's always, when I bring you up, because I'll always say, Pat, is in so much pain. He's like, I think he's one of the worst pain patients that I have. He's like, I don't know how he does it. And so we always talk about it.
Starting point is 01:44:03 And he's told me that his, his, the government is coming down on opioid so hard. He's like, I don't know how people like Pat are going to really, I mean, Yeah, it's going to be hard. And you've got to do drug testing. Almost every time now. Almost every time. Really? Yeah, to make sure you're not doctor shopping, I guess, and getting drugs from somebody else.
Starting point is 01:44:23 And you don't have anything in your system but what's supposed to be there? Almost every time I go, I get a drug test. Seriously. And doctor shopping is an interesting allegation, right? Yeah. The idea that different doctors would have different approaches to a particular medical ailment is not surprising. Right. Like you would go to a doctor because you think they're treating it better.
Starting point is 01:44:43 better than maybe somebody else. No, that's not doctor shopping. Well, that's what I'm saying is the search for doctor shopping allegations can sometimes encompass some people who are doing. You can get people who are doing something legitimate. Yeah. Yeah. But there are a lot of people who will go and try to get, you know, whatever they can from somebody.
Starting point is 01:45:01 They're pernicious drugs. But it's like anything. Is the Internet bad? No. Right. It can be. It can be. Are these opioids bad?
Starting point is 01:45:10 No. It can be. I mean, it's like any. anything with real power and in the hands of each human, you have the choice. You can use them to alleviate pain or you can use them the way they're not supposed to be used. And it's a very hard thing, but you just got to be rock solid. And it is hard. It's really hard.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Yeah. But banning them is a, it's not a good idea. It's again, prohibition, the drug war. That's not the way you. deal with it. That's why I'm Monday. I'm going to be doing opioids on the show. And we're going to test that out and see that works.
Starting point is 01:45:49 How the beer go? Is that, uh, you see? It was a lot of beer. You seem functional? Really? Yeah. I feel like I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Really?
Starting point is 01:45:57 Seriously? The sentences are still clear. Yeah, he seems totally done me. He seems totally clear. I would not know he's drunk. Really? So I can drink more on the air is basically what I'm saying. I've been drunk a lot.
Starting point is 01:46:08 I've been drunk a lot on the show. Is he drunk every day? He's a functional alcoholic. So we just don't see the difference. I think that's what it is. Wow. All right. Thanks a lot.
Starting point is 01:46:16 All right. I wanted to share some feedback from our partners at Palm Beach letter, Tika Tuare's Crypto course. Now, this is a course that is just trying to teach you what cryptocurrency is, what blockchain is, how it works, why it's part of our future, whether you like it or not. Four or five star ratings, everybody, here's the comments. Very simple course. Very informative presenter.
Starting point is 01:46:39 Tika is excellent. I knew a little from various sources, but the how two pieces were missing. Now I understand what it is and how to buy crypto. I was less than a novice when this course started. The lessons were clear and concise, although still I'm a bit apprehensive. I believe this course has given me the confidence to get into cryptocurrencies. Thank you very much. I read a lot about cryptocurrencies, blockchain, but this course explains a lot in an easy way,
Starting point is 01:47:09 suitable for a person like me. Thank you, Nabil. All right, CryptoCourse. It's a smart cryptocourse.com. You need to educate yourself and be part of the future. Smartcropocourse.com. Take it now. It's from our partners at Palm Beach letter. You can call them for more information. 877 PBL back, or smartcryptocourse.com. Oh, hello, welcome to the program. Sorry. I just was handed some breaking news. One of our partners with the Nazarene Fund, one of the people that we work with closely,
Starting point is 01:47:50 has just been, she's just won, not even nominated, she's just won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. That's amazing. Wait, what? Yeah. We work with, we have partnered with just a few people over in the Middle East. and one of the groups that we've partnered with is Nadia's initiative. And the woman who started that, she was a slave, an ISIS slave.
Starting point is 01:48:18 When she was rescued, she saw us. She's like, oh, I want to partner with you. Let's go rescue some more slaves. She started her thing. We help hers and, you know, rescue slaves and then, you know, help her. She's just won the Nobel Peace Prize. That's incredible. It's incredible.
Starting point is 01:48:35 Can we now say we've won? the Nobel Peace Prize? I mean, that seems right to me. I think if we are going to play the same game that the Senate, the Democrats in the Senate, I believe I can say Glenn Beck has won the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, if Barack Obama won it like two months into office, I think we're good. You know, you sound a little sloppy. A little bit? I've had many beers today.
Starting point is 01:49:01 Yes, you have. And only as a science experiment, just because Barack Obama was, said that he drank six beers in an hour and went to class. Stu showed how difficult that was. It's not easy, man. Six beers in an hour. Oh, it hurts. But when you're on, you're on shot 45,
Starting point is 01:49:20 a shot of beer. Did I slurrish shot 45? I may have. You know what he is? He's totally functional. That's scary. That's a little scary. It reminds you.
Starting point is 01:49:31 If I would have had that, I would have been, you know, and Stu, I just have to tell you, I just think that we can just be so much better people. It makes you think how many times have I been drunk on the air? It makes me think you are always drunk. Why am I making better points today? I don't know. I may have to put beer in the budget. Stu needs it.
Starting point is 01:49:57 He's much better. And liver surgery. Removal of liver. You'll need to include in the health plan. No, we have filter by. We're just going to have. They can custom make filters. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 01:50:08 We go to filterby.com and we'll just get you a liver-sized filter. We'll just pop a couple of new ones in. All right. Have a great weekend. Podcast tomorrow you do not want to miss. Go to Apple iTunes or wherever podcasts are found. Get the Glenn Beck podcast. Tomorrow's a great one.
