Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Glenn back. You know, there's always two sides of a coin. For every benefit of technology, there is another side. There's a dark side. There's a dark side. Take social media in the internet.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Before that existed, journalists had a stranglehold on the mass flow of information and opinion. If you wanted to have a voice, you had to go through your local newspaper, your local news, cable news, national publications like the New York Times. Your voice really, the only place your voice could be heard in the past was on talk radio. But social media has changed all of that. And now you've got a hot take or, you know, maybe you just saw some breaking news. And you can instantly publish and blast that information out into the entire world. Good.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Except there's a flip side to that coin. Let's say you work at a news outlet, supposed to be impartial. Well, anything you've ever blasted out of. on the interwebs is instantly available to check your impartiality or your, uh, your non-biased bodafetes. Let me give you an example. New York Times. Emily Bazelan, July 9th, she tweeted, quote,
Starting point is 00:01:19 As a Yale school, as a Yale law school graduate and a lecturer, I strongly disassociate myself from tonight's praise of Brett Kavanaugh with respect. He's a fifth vote on the hard to right turn on voting rights and so much more that will harm the democratic process and prevent a more equal society. Okay. So in July, she came out and she let everybody know, I'm against him. I think he's dangerous. Now, that was just three months ago. She exercised her ability, as we all do, to share with the world what our opinions are. And then yesterday she shared with the world her independent viewpoint. Emily exercised the other platform she has, the New York Times, with a holy crap bombshell on Brett Kavanaugh. And I hope you're buckled in for this.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Or it says sincerely, the allegations are horrifying. You'd ask yourself, what could be worse than attempted rape, Glenn? Well, gang rape. Yeah, but what could be worse than gang rape? Well, here we go. Emily in the New York Times reported that in September of 1985, Brett Kavanaugh threw a glass of ice at somebody. Yes, yes, I'm sorry if this is a triggering event for you,
Starting point is 00:02:53 if you're all of a sudden like, you remember somebody coming at you, Jack Frost trying to stab you with the icicles. I get it, I get it. I'm sorry I had to bring this up. the New York Times is reporting on ice throwing. Now, I heard this story originally from the New York Times. I listened to a podcast, The Daily, which I don't recommend. I listen to it so you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:03:21 But I listened to it this morning. And in that report, and, you know, he went to jail. And I thought, he went to jail. You'd think that would have come up. no he didn't go to jail there were no arrests made the charges were not filed nothing
Starting point is 00:03:40 neither of those things happened police were called because they got into a fight and the police said okay all right all right knock it off go home well we can't have somebody like that on the Supreme Court can we
Starting point is 00:03:56 when he was hang on when he was in college he was in a bar and some guy said something to him and he threw ice on him and the police were called and the police said hey knock it off go home i mean what kind of madman what kind of jack the ripper are we putting on the supreme court thank you new york's new york times this story does not live up to the even the editorial standards of the new york times someone threw ice in 1985 really God forbid you ever go to Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Now, Emily, the writer of this story, her tweets make it obvious that she's opinionated against Brett Kavanaugh. So now the New York Times has been caught publishing a supposed journalist being an activist. And this is not a mistake. How did this story get through the editorial staff? Well, easy. I believe they're probably activists as well. They're activists, and this just goes to show his temperament. He might, you know, somebody might come in and say,
Starting point is 00:05:13 hey, I'm fighting for abortion in the court, and he might just take a glass of ice and throw it at that person. Get used to it, America. We have a full week of this as we get closer to the vote. The ridiculousness escalates to a full-on clown show. probably by this afternoon. Now a clown show in the media leading up to a circus in the Senate.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You know what? I guess nothing has changed. But this time, can I at least get some cotton candy? It's Tuesday, October 2nd. This is the Glennbeck program. All right. So, Stu. A little disturbed, but all right. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:06:12 the goalposts, man, they just, they just keep moving them. I mean, they must be tired, don't you think? It's, well, they're heavy. The goalposts are getting heavier. And heavier and heavier because the farther you move them, the harder it is to justify. It's it. This is incredible. Though I am very disturbed, of course, by these new allegations against Brett Kavanaugh that he threw frozen water at someone.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Frozen water, first of all, can be sharp. It can be heavy. you know what people are like oh that's not a big deal so what he threw ice frozen water can't be dangerous tell that to the people of peru where 22,000 people were killed in an avalanche in 1970 tell it to those people tell it to those families see this is why he's not on the supreme court look at look at his temperament you don't have the temperament to be anywhere near that microphone mr. I do have the temperament to be on the Avanati team however oh yeah of course you do I can jump right into that Oh yeah, dead dogs have that. They spent, Glenn, 15 minutes on this bar fight on CNN this morning. 15 minutes where they talked about how, look, it's certainly on its own. This is their fairness.
Starting point is 00:07:26 On its own, it would not be disqualifying. Oh, really? A bar fight in which he's not charged or arrested with anything. And the accusation is he threw ice on someone wouldn't disqualify him 40 years later for the Supreme Court. Thanks for all the wonderful room you're. giving him. What leeway? But here is a situation where they're just like, well, but what it does say, what it does say is that it plays into a larger picture of this man. He was in his anger when he was drinking and this shows that he's capable of doing these things. I've never seen anyone reach further.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I know. If he would have come on and he would not have been angry, I would have thought something was up. Because nobody does that to me, my family. Nobody, nobody is going to make those charges. and smear my name without me at least responding forcefully. And if you don't like the anger, I want you to hear me clearly. I did not have sexual relations. Same thing. He looked and they praised him for being angry about it.
Starting point is 00:08:35 They praised him for his forcefulness. You could tell the president was angry. He wants to get back to the business of the American people. So no matter what he did, it would have been a problem. They keep moving the goalposts. Now, here is my plea to Donald Trump. First of all, I don't believe any other president in my lifetime, with an exception of Reagan, and I'm not even sure Reagan would have done it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 no other president in my lifetime would have stuck with Kavanaugh all the way through those hearings. There's no way. They would have said the cost is too high. They just wouldn't have done it. So A, points for Donald Trump for having a spine and going, this is garbage. B, we're in this situation now. And if there is nothing, if there's ice fights, don't give up the ship. Do not move.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Because if you move now, they are going to do this every single time. And you cannot, cannot give any ground. With that being said, and I don't think this is a chance at all. if Ford, if those charges turn out to be right, you notice, you notice the media is not furthering the Ford testimony. They're no longer on that. Yeah. Nobody's, she's, she's been abandoned already. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:28 She's done. She's done. She served her purpose. She bought time. They used her as a pivot to something new. Okay. So there, there's nothing new there. There's nothing new.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Or the press would be saying, you watch. what's going to come out in this FBI. They're not saying that. They're not. Nobody has come out and said, you know what? I was so offended by how forceful he was and I wasn't going to say anything, but I know that that happened. None of that is happening.
Starting point is 00:11:01 What is happening is people are saying, you know, I was for him and I wasn't going to say anything. But as soon as he started to say he was, he was an altar boy. I remember him drinking. So that's what's coming now. And they're going to go after perjury. You watch. By the end of the week, that's what they'll be talking about.
Starting point is 00:11:29 If Donald Trump, please, please Donald Trump, the only chance you have and the only chance the Republicans have, if this thing goes awry in any way, you have to have a plan and announce it in the same press conference that you say, you know, he, he, you know, quit or the vote went down. Vote went down and then burned down, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Whatever it is. Whatever it is. That press conference, you must say, and here's my next nominee, and we're going to have it done before the election. Now, in my opinion, the only one that can stand that is Mike Lee. Because you don't need, how long did it take to do to the Jeff Sessions vote? I mean, he brought in January 20th. He was inaugurated. And then February 8th, the vote went down.
Starting point is 00:12:32 So, four weeks. Yeah, three, four weeks. And that would see it probably could have been faster. He had other things going on. Okay. So you have four weeks to do it. That's what you have now for the. election. You have four weeks.
Starting point is 00:12:42 The one who can get that, the one who doesn't need all the FBI checks and all of that is Mike Lee. It's already been done. He's the only one who get done that quickly. Yeah. He's the only one that can be done that quickly or another senator, but Mike Lee is the guy. And Mike Lee's the only senator on the list. Yes. So you've got, you've got Mike Lee.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You could select him. Let's just say Brett Kavanaugh is hit by a plane tomorrow, which I wouldn't. It's a strange accident, but it could happen, I guess. It happened in Indiana Jones, and one of them were the guy, they were fighting on the tarmac, and the plane was turning around. If that happens to Kavanaugh. Well, this one, they won't be delivering the arc in that plane. They'll be delivering the New York Times in that plane.
Starting point is 00:13:25 But anyway, so let's just say, and it makes him into sausage. You need to announce that Mike Lee is the candidate. We're going to have this done by the election. They're, of course, going to go crazy because Mike Lee is Uber pro-life, and he would vote. Well, I mean, the bottom line is he cares about the Constitution more than anything. He will vote. He will vote the Constitution. And he will also vote for right of life.
Starting point is 00:13:56 He's not going to go in there with an agenda, but he is a right-to-life guy. So Kavanaugh wasn't good enough. Here's Mike Lee. There's not going to be, there's no drinking parties with Mike Lee. There's just no drinking party. Maybe. and it'll be like, Mike is like, all right, I confess, I tasted beer in 1983. I didn't really like it, but I tried it.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It was root beer. Have you heard of this root beer? So anyway, he's the only one that you could push through because if you don't, if you don't have a plan immediately, then the Democratic plan works of delay. And that's the most important point. Their strategy is not to say that Kavanaugh is a sexual abuser. Their strategy is not to say anything about Kavanaugh specifically. Their strategy is to delay this thing so they can get to the election.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And if they get past the new Senate coming in, they can potentially have a chance of stopping this. Now, if you were to, the day after the day after this goes down, God forbid, you know, they find something terrible about. Let's say they find something terrible about them, right? And everybody agrees. And it goes down 80 to 20, right? Like it's just one of those things they found something terrible about, about Kavanaugh. We don't think that's going to happen. However, you must be prepared for that potentiality.
Starting point is 00:15:18 You have to be ready for it. And if you tried to go down the other suggested road, we talked a little bit about yesterday, which was, you know, a Diane Sykes or, you know, an Allison Ide or one of the other. You won't make it to January. You won't. You could potentially have enough time before they seat the Senate. But, I mean, it's going to be really close and you might not make it. Lee is the only thing you'd have that you'd be able to get that through fast enough.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Lee also is the guy that everybody in the Senate has to look at after they voted against. I mean, they will vote against. Yeah, the Democrats will still do it. But would Jeff Flake vote against, you know, Mike Lee? I just don't think so. Would, uh, you know, I mean, you know, these people have good relationships with Lee, even though they know, they think he's too conservative for them. And remember, it's advise and consent.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Now I know the Democrats won't care about that. But there's a chance that you can get all of the Republican. on board. If you don't, I want to lay out some scenarios of what we're looking at here. And please help me with the good scenario. I'll lay out five or six scenarios for you when we come back on what is headed our way. So hackers exploited security vulnerability at Facebook. The guy didn't hack into, you know, he said on Friday that he was going to hack into Mark Zuckerberg's and kick him off.
Starting point is 00:16:47 It didn't work. Potentially, the hackers that did get in exposed the information of nearly 50 million accounts. Attackers stole access tokens, which they can use to take over people's accounts. They're digital keys that keep people logged in so they don't need to reenter their password every time. Now, Facebook says they fix the vulnerability and informed law enforcement, but this is your personal information. Were you one of the 50 million? It's a data breach. Criminals can open accounts, file tax returns, buy property.
Starting point is 00:17:21 There's so many threats in today's connected world. It takes one week link and the criminals are in. That's why the new lifelock, identity theft protection, adds the power of Norton security. It's going to help you protect against the threats to your identity and all of your devices. Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. but the new LifeLock with Norton security can see the threats that you're going to miss on your own.

Starting point is 00:18:00 That's promo code back, 1-800 LifeLock or LifeLock.com. Terms apply. Five different scenarios. I haven't even counted them yet, but there are several different scenarios on how. how this thing ends that I want to go through with you. And tell me, tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me how this is going to end in a, you know, in a positive way. I think, though, we should also get into, maybe we do this beforehand, get into the idea
Starting point is 00:18:30 that there are accusations that Kavanaugh lied in his hearings. Yes. And, you know, the New York Times laid them out in ridiculous detail. Yeah. And we should go through each one of them because I would like, because there's, an idea that if there is, let's say, he perjured himself, which is one of the things a lot of people are starting to throw around now. They're starting to say, well, he perjured himself. He'd lie. Instead of saying he was trying to paint himself in the best light possible, it was he
Starting point is 00:18:54 perjured himself. Now, maybe he did. I don't know. I mean, I haven't seen anything. Perjury about sex doesn't matter. We learned that. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. But if he perjured himself. Look, if he perjured himself for me, it's a problem. Yeah. I mean, I guess to me, it would matter on the context of it, I guess. I mean, What do you mean? Like the booth thing? Yeah, like one of the things they're talking about is the word boof, which is a word I have not heard since probably 1985. But he, it was, what did it mean? And he said it meant flatulence.
Starting point is 00:19:25 And there's, I mean. I'm pretty sure. I could be wrong. But there was a word like that. And I thought it was poof that meant like smoking pot, that you were smoking pot. See, that's in your, you, in your school had a different meaning of. but then I would have found him in my school, which supports his flatulence argument, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah. We need to talk about it. I mean, you do smoke pot in your butt, right? Glenn, we need to talk about some. Glenn, back. Mercury. All right, I want you to think of some scenarios on how this ends and the right way to deal with all of it
Starting point is 00:20:08 and what it means to the future. We'll give those two here in a second. We want to go over some of the things that people now are saying, about Brett Kavanaugh and not the ridiculous stuff. I'd rather focus on two things.
Starting point is 00:20:28 This extra week was to find out if the Ford thing was real. I don't think that's real. If it is real, if they come up with credible evidence that it's real, he's out. You agree with that, still?
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah. I mean, I think if somehow they were able to prove that he did something or really make you believe he did. Yeah. I mean, it was credible evidence. If it's, it's if it is preponderance of evidence. Yeah. You know, the details matter. But yes.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Generally speaking, yes. Okay. Uh, perjury. This is what they're going for now. This is what Jeff Flake has bought. And what he purchased, uh, was an extra week for the media and the Democrats to move the goalposts. And now the goalposts are moving. The goalposts now.
Starting point is 00:21:16 or did he perjure himself? Did he lie under oath? And not about, not about Professor Ford, but about what was written in his yearbook. So here are the things that they are saying, and you have to say, is this,
Starting point is 00:21:36 would this rise to the level of perjury? All right, go ahead. And I want to warn you, we are about to use highly technical medical terms. and if you are, this maybe go a little bit over your head, that's okay. Stick with us. Okay. Judge Kavanaugh's yearbook page included the entries,
Starting point is 00:21:54 Judge, have you boofed yet? Have you boofed yet? And devil's triangle. On Thursday, he said, boofed meant flatulence and that the devil's triangle was a drinking game in which three glasses were arranged in a triangle. This is disputed according to the New York Times, and I want to make sure that you understand that I'm reading from what is supposedly
Starting point is 00:22:14 the greatest newspaper ever. created, they are talking about whether the word boofed means flatulence or not. Boothed in the 1980s was a term that often referred to well, again, technical terms, anal sex. And this is how
Starting point is 00:22:33 Judge Kavanaugh's classmates said they interpreted his comment. They said they had never used it before as it referred to flatulence. Okay. Now, the term boofed, Glenn, was a term that I do remember from my, from my, I I would say elementary school days.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Oh, good. Oh, well. You know, I mean, that was before Clinton. Middle school maybe. I mean, it was like, I don't think I necessarily knew what it meant, but I feel like it had a sexual connotation to it. However, what I found is interesting is as I was talking to you about this this morning before the show and assuming that everyone would understand that is what it meant, you
Starting point is 00:23:08 had a totally different understanding of the word. Well, I wasn't the hippest. So, no. So I don't know. No one's accused you of that. But I seem to remember it's something, I don't recall, but I think we used to, you know, getting stoned or something. I can't remember for sure. The word boofed meant getting stoned or getting stoned, something like that, maybe.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Okay. Have you ever heard the term spleaf? Yeah, maybe. I think that was in that kind of that. Times of Richmond High. Yeah, maybe. I mean, it's been a long time. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Okay. But I looked it up in the urban dictionary. Okay. So this is this guy, I mean, this is as close as you can come to like a founding document of the word boofed. Yes. This is like if you go back to the Federalist Papers about boofy. The Urban Dictionary. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:58 This is what this is. The urban dictionary. All right. To abuse any licit or illicit substance via insertion into one's rectum. That's the number one meaning. That's the number one meaning. I have never heard it used like that. But funneling.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Now, I don't know who. Again, these are highly. technical terms. I don't know who says, you know what? I bet it's better if we drink beer through our butt. But apparently, that's been done. I didn't know you could do that. I didn't know you could do that either. And I don't recommend. And it's not called really drinking if you do it that way. It's called, as we're learning here, loafing. No. I don't know if you're, if you have but blackouts, if, you know, all of a sudden your butt falls asleep. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Okay. Okay. So there's the number one.
Starting point is 00:24:49 The next one is something that is whack, dumb, or effed up used to describe objects, people, or stuff you don't want to do. So that, you know, that guy's a boof? Yeah, I feel like that's maybe also how I heard it. Now that you're saying it that way, because it's just kind of like an insult. Yeah, that may have been, yeah. Right? I just know, I remember the words, but I don't remember it connected to, you know, sticking things in. Anyway, here's one that kind of makes me feel a little better. A synonym for
Starting point is 00:25:21 weed. Okay. Yeah. So how would, is there a sentence? Smell. Use it in a sentence, please. Smell dat boof. Now, I assume that's DAT is what you're saying. Yes. Smell dat boof. Yes. Yes. That makes me feel uncomfortable. Fifth, the act of lifting the, uh, the bow out of a whitewater kayak while going over rocks, waves, or waterfalls. What? In order to launch over hydraulics or rocks. This entry is sponsored by Cabellas.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah. I've never heard that before. Boof. The low-toned noise a dog makes typically when they are suspicious or unsure of whether they should actually bark or not. Now, I haven't heard a flatulence one, but I have heard many things related to the butt,
Starting point is 00:26:12 which I think somewhat... Another term for having sex, that'd be in the butt, Bob. Okay, so. Okay, so again, I think this is the interesting point here. They're trying to say this is essentially perjury. There's no way that's perjury to me. That is a bonkers claim. The idea that that word probably meant different things at different schools,
Starting point is 00:26:34 as mine and yours did, right, as there are seven different definitions on urban dictionary for it. Now, not just because flatulins didn't make it there does not mean that locally that was not the way people used it. But you do have the problem of people in Georgetown prep now starting to come out and saying, look, I was for him. And I don't think he did this Ford thing. But now that he was saying that this is what these words mean, come on, man. And that he was never really fall down drunk. Yeah, he was. Okay. Well, so we have that one too. You want to go to this? Yeah, go to the next. All right. This is, again, the lists of potential perjury for Judge Kavanaugh. the next one is excessive drinking.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Judge Kavanaugh portrayed himself in his testimony as enjoying a beer or two in high school and as a college student, but not as someone who often drank to excess during those years. I drank beer with my friends, end quote. Then this is disputed, is what they say in the times. His statements are at odds with some of his classmates and how they remembered him. Nearly a dozen college classmates of Judge Kavanaugh said they recalled him indulging in heavy drinking, some saying, so now it's less than a dozen because some of them say, said heavy drinking. Some saying it was beyond normal consumption, parenthetical here.
Starting point is 00:27:50 To be sure, a smaller number of classmates said his drinking was unexceptional. So, again, this is like judging yourself and how much you drink is notoriously difficult, as I would assume a Mr. Alcoholic over here would be able to tell you. I mean, the whole point is the toughest thing to do is admit you're an alcoholic, right? Yeah. It's very possible, and I would say likely, that most people who drink, drink to excess in these periods would not necessarily say that they're doing something abnormal, even if they are.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Here's how I take this. I took that testimony when I watched him talk about drinking, it was very clear that he was getting drunk. And he said, look, we all drank to excess. We drank to excess. We all did. Haven't you done that? I mean, on the drinking thing, I don't consider this a problem because I, I believe that he
Starting point is 00:28:42 was in effect saying, yeah, but there is a difference between a blackout. Okay? And maybe he had blackouts and didn't remember them. I don't believe that at all. You have a blackout, you remember it. You don't remember what happened.
Starting point is 00:28:59 You remember that you blacked out. But you remember you were like, oh crap, I don't even remember. Now, maybe at 17, you're like, oh, that was so crazy. I don't even remember that. Maybe you're at 17 in doing that, but you have to consume a lot of alcohol.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I, you know, I got a, may I ask a, may I bring me an expert witness? Yes. And Glenn Beck, please come to the stairs. You know, to me, I'm going to make it a generalization, but with a specific accusation, 95% of people
Starting point is 00:29:30 who say they drank to the point of blacking out are lying. I believe it's 95%. I believe that blackouts do exist, but is extraordinarily rare. I'd have spent a week in France, which I can't believe my liver returned with me. I thought for sure it was going to be like, you know what? I'm staying on the beach here. Right. I drink a lot there. I would think that it would have been saying, I got to get back
Starting point is 00:29:50 home. I got to try out. My point though is that I've had a lot to drink in my life at certain times. I've never even been remotely close to something I would consider. The amount of alcohol that you have to consume in a very short period of time. Now, I've done, I've, I've done my homework on it. and it's not exactly the way I have experienced it. Apparently, you can have blackouts if you drink an enormous amount of alcohol. If you were boofing, maybe, if an enormous amount of alcohol gets into your bloodstream quickly, you can black out. I have read places where they say it's rare. Some places say it's common.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I'm sorry, but I do not believe, I believe it's a movie trick that most people, you know, they're like, oh, we did one last night. We had sex, no way. Right. Shut up. 95% of the time. 95% that's a lot. I had a friend who had drank a lot in a very short period of time and blacked out,
Starting point is 00:30:56 blacked out fell off a stage and had to go to the hospital. And that was a legit, this is in college. Yeah. And that was a legitimate, like, he drank way too much. Nothing. He didn't do anything wrong. He just fell off. the stage and almost killed himself.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And didn't remember any of them. And just remembered being there, but did not remember the falling or anything. Okay. And so I'm not saying it never happens. But like the idea that you would say to someone, oh, this guy's lying. He did blackout is completely absurd. You can't, you cannot, you cannot accuse someone of lying about that. Only they would know if it occurred.
Starting point is 00:31:27 You can say that, and this is what they are saying, that he lied because he said, you know, he gave the impression. that he wasn't ever out of control falling down drunk. Well, okay, I don't believe that, but I also don't, I wasn't left with that impression. No, he said, I mean, the quote is, I drank beer with my friends, almost everyone did. Sometimes I had too many beers. Sometimes others did. I like beer.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I still like beer, but I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out. He just said I didn't black out. He didn't say any drink to excess. In fact, he said, I have drank to excess. And, you know, I mean, I am not a big drinker in my life, but I've drank to excess several times. but never, I mean, the idea that getting to blackout drunk, you're maybe a different story, but getting the blackout drunk is,
Starting point is 00:32:10 I mean, you've told me some of the levels of alcohol you've had in your life. The levels are almost inhuman. Like, I would definitely be dead. I mean, you're dumping poison into your system. And it's a lot of it. Your body can handle. A blackout is shutting your body down,
Starting point is 00:32:27 saying, I can't keep you alive and run all of these other systems. Right. I mean, that's, you know, that's intense. So, we have a couple more of these. We can go through them if we need to. But I mean, I think you get the point. This is the level of almost every one of these accusations.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So I don't think the drinking thing. I don't think the boofing thing. What about the, well, let me take a break. We'll come back. There's two things that could pose a problem for him. And some people are asking, like, why are you giving up on Kavanaugh? I'm not. Not all.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I still think there's a 50% chance maybe higher that he gets through. The issue here is, if he does. I mean, because if you have faith here, you're having faith, not in Kavanaugh, in Kavanaugh, in Flake. If you have faith in them, then fine. Don't worry about it. But if you don't, like I don't, then you better have Plan B set up. Yeah, by the way, I just want to make that really clear. I'm not giving up on him at all.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I'm just playing this out, seeing where the Democrats are headed this week. And how will that affect those three senators? All right, July of 2017, Bitcoin was down 40%. Tika Tuari came in and said in the Palm Beach letter there's going to be some activity. It's going to bring enormous amounts of money into Bitcoin. What's Bitcoin at today?
Starting point is 00:33:48 Bitcoin currently 6548. 6548. Bitcoin was trading at around 1850 a coin at the time. We all know that it went up to 20,000 and it's crashed down to about 5 or 6,000 and it's still kind of hovering there. It's gone up and down, but, you know, it's been under 10.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I've been here for a while. Tika has come in and said, we're in the same kind of horrific bear market. And last time when he said this, Bitcoin hit 20,000. This time he says Bitcoin right now is the time to buy because some things are in the pipeline that Bitcoin will go up 10x or more. Now, he says this is going to happen by the end of the year. But I mean, I've talked to him several times. I buy into everything that he's saying on why it's going to go up. But the timing, I don't know. I don't know. He's confident in the timing, but he is ultra confident in why. And that's the part you need to know about.
Starting point is 00:34:53 We did a smart crypto course with Tika. If you don't know anything about cryptos, you got to educate yourself. Everybody should have $100 bucks in cryptos. Smartcryptocourse.com. smart cryptocourse.com. Take that course. It's online. You're going to learn a ton.
Starting point is 00:35:09 You'll be able to understand the future that we're headed towards. 877 PBL Beck. It's 87PBL Beck, smartcryptocourse.com. Glenn Beck. You know, let me take Richard in South Carolina. I think this is really important. He can verify. Go ahead, Richard.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Hey, Glenn. How you guys doing? Very good, very good. Look, I went to school in Virginia. Virginia, 77 to 82, middle school and high school. When you boofed, you farted. When somebody said, ooh, who boof? Because of that smell, man.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah. Okay. All right. There you go. So, and he's, you know, Virginia. That's, you know, Washington. A lot of these terms are regional like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:53 All right. Thank you. We do have confirmation that boofing is farting from that era in that region. By the way, we now have one person who said it. So it's the same amount of confirmation as we have as the four. accusations, which is interesting. This is such a tough, this is such a tough place. Because I think the average person, not somebody who listens to talk radio all the time
Starting point is 00:36:18 or pays attention to Democratic politics all the time. The average person is like, why not just move on from this guy? Because the principle of this, you cannot move on or they are going to do this every single time. You cannot live in a country where you are innocent until accused. The country has been pushed to the limit. Our political bonds have been torn apart. We need a true leader who can save us from certain doom. Unfortunately, we could only find this guy. Hey, it's Glenn Beck. 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
Starting point is 00:37:02 go down laughing. Glenn Beck Live. The Addicted to Outrage Tour on tour this fall. For tickets, VIP packages, and more. Visit glenbeck.com. I'm going to just jump in on this one. Georgetown University's Distinguished Associate Professor, Christine Fair, a professor of law, had an interesting tweet to share with all of us. Quote, look at the chorus of entitled white men,
Starting point is 00:37:32 justifying a serial rapist aggregated entitlement. Now, Kavanaugh is a serial rapist. All of them, meaning men, deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus, we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine. Yes. This is an esteemed professor at Georgetown? Pretty violent. Especially for somebody on Twitter who's verified.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Her statements definitely seem to violate Twitter's terms of service, you know, for advocating violence. Professor, who couldn't be named more incorrectly fair, her Twitter bio reads like a postmodern satire, scholar of South Asian Paul Mill Affairs, intersectional feminist, pit bull apostle, scotch devotee, non-theist, resistor. Reviews are mine, no rubs. Retweet does not equal endorsement. Now, interestingly, she has worked at several places that have the word peace in the title, although she doesn't really seem like a peaceful type. She also runs a blog called expletive crap, men say, where she doxes people, because it's all about accountability. In response to the backlash that she has received, she has now doubled down on her rhetoric,
Starting point is 00:39:10 I will not moderate my rage for your convenience as a victim of assault. I, along with millions of women, watch white males gather around a belligerent predator defending his and their privilege. I will use my words that will make you as uncomfortable as I am. Well, nothing says stable like putting random words in all caps, I'm just saying. Then there is this gem in which she rants about the patriarchy, as if it actually exists. Quote, I hope women understand we are all rapable. Just because you shill for the patriarchy doesn't make you immune. We are all potential victims every day. And I hope it's
Starting point is 00:39:55 clear to all American patriarchy. They don't care about your views. They abuse us as a perk. Can you imagine living your life this way? Sincerely. Something obviously has happened to this woman and it must have been horrible. But is there no healing? You're going to let that to find your whole life? My father taught me a really important lesson because I was a pretty dark dude in my 20s. I was not a happy camper.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I didn't like people. I was kind of like, well, I wasn't like this. Wow, I don't know anybody who's actually like this. But I was, I was an angry camp. kid. And my father taught me. It's not what happens to you in life. It's what you do with it that defines you.
Starting point is 00:41:01 What is she doing with it? She's teaching, but what is she teaching? With all the ranting she's doing, what is she teaching? Hatred? I feel bad for this woman. I really do. She goes on these rants quite often, by the way. She doesn't like Brett Kavanaugh.
Starting point is 00:41:41 She doesn't like President Trump. The reason why I bring her up is, well, A, Twitter, are you going to kick her off? Are you going to kick her off? If this isn't, if this isn't the epitome of threats, I don't know what is. But she really typifies the insanity that has overtaken the left. No amount in evidence in favor of Kavanaugh will change her mind.
Starting point is 00:42:18 And you know what? I really, I can understand how you might emotionally connect with her, especially if you were a victim. I can. But she is possessed with this unending hatred. And there is nothing anyone can say or do. Anyone who says, I know Kavanaugh didn't do it. you're fooling yourself.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Anyone who says, I know he did it. You're fooling yourself. You're filling in blanks that you cannot, unless you're God, let me check. Yep, no, I'm not God today. Might be your turn. Unless you're God, you don't know that.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You cannot know that. I mean, this is one of those cases where it is so crystal clear to me. judge lest you be judged, how you judge other people. I'm telling you, if he did it, he's out. If he was perjuring himself, I don't want a guy on the Supreme Court that was perjuring himself. But that requires evidence. That requires some sort of case to be made. not accusations, but a case to be made.
Starting point is 00:43:54 You're destroying a person's life. See, here's the problem with this particular professor at Georgetown. She's looking for social justice. She's looking for wrongs to be righted somehow or another. And it doesn't matter. All men are guilty. All men are guilty. Well, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:21 was Gandhi guilty? Was Gandhi guilty? Really? Because he was a man. Was Martin Luther King? Was he guilty? You know, both of those men were flawed. Both of those men had things about them that I don't like.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Both of those men had one was an alleged philanderer. The other was a clear racist. Gandhi. I still think they were great men. They were just flawed. When you go into social justice and you believe in collective salvation or collective justice that I'm going to write the wrongs of the world because men are collectively evil. Because of all of the wrongs that men have done in the past, they are collectively evil. you go mad and I am warning and begging people to calmly and rationally explain this to their neighbors
Starting point is 00:45:40 when you go down that road you always always end up killing people now a few years ago that was hyperbole. But today, if you don't think we're on the edge of a civil war, of people like her, saying we should feed their genitals to the pigs, tell me the difference between that and Nazi Germany rhetoric. And what a surprise. Once again, it's coming from the elites in the university.
Starting point is 00:46:26 It's Tuesday, October 2nd. This is the Glembeck program. It's really hard, really very, very hard to remain reasonable when the world is unreasonable. But we must. We must because no one will listen to any message if we are just hurling insults. If we are fighting fire with fire, it will change no one's mind. If you don't believe me, how many minds did we change? Did we change the course 2010?
Starting point is 00:47:19 And I want you to know, I don't think that we did the fight as much as the press tried to convince everyone. We were these evil monsters saying X, Y, and Z and demanding violence. So I understand that. But because of that, which we don't necessarily have this time, the media has changed. It's not as important. Social media is much more important than the regular media. All right. So what's the best way to get people to come on our side?
Starting point is 00:48:02 It's never to point the finger at them. It's never to call them names. And I know this from experience. I know this because I'm going to be honest with you. I did that to you. Because I was so convinced I was right that I did that to you. I instead, I didn't listen to you. I just thought, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:27 You're flushing down this and that and blah, blah, blah. And you're wrong. No. No, you saw things a different way. And as I have said on many occasions on this program since the election, I was wrong on multiple occasions. But what amazes me is when I say those things, the number of people who just want to rub my face in it.
Starting point is 00:49:09 that's okay if that makes you feel better. But I just want to tell you, that's foolish. You do it to me all you want. Please don't do that to others. Please don't do that to others who say, you know what? I think you were right. Or you know what? I can't take my own side.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And while I don't like your guy that much, I mean, you guys are at least making some sense. Please do not rub their, well, we told you so. Well, really, remember when you fought? Don't do that. Please don't do that. welcome them. If we're going to heal the nation, the first thing we have to do is heal the right. If we're going to heal the nation, we have got to put our differences aside and begin to
Starting point is 00:49:55 open up our circle. If I believe in 80% of the stuff you believe in, great. I don't even need to do that. I just need to know, do you believe in the Bill of Rights? Do you believe in the Bill of Rights? If you believe in the Bill of Rights and you'll stand for the Bill of Rights, I'm in. I'm in. We can disagree on everything else.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I'm in. Because I think we're really headed for real trouble. Let me just show you the ways this Kavanaugh thing can come down. And Stu, I'd love your help on this. I'm going to give you a few scenarios and you tell me, you tell me if they're crazy or not. We'll do that in a second. I only see one way. I only see one way that ends happily kind of for a while.
Starting point is 00:50:56 We'll do this in just a second. Now, from hurricanes to earthquakes and cyber warfare, every American should have a plan to get through an emergency, a natural disaster, the power being out, whatever it is. You know, Civil War. The government response to repair our infrastructure is not what we think is anymore. Hello, Puerto Rico. And that had nothing to do with racism or anything else. Our coffers were empty. The United States and FEMA did not have any plan ever to have four
Starting point is 00:51:34 major disasters in one year. That's why Puerto Rico was screwed. Now, the best thing you can do is store up some food. Build a supply over time so you're ready. I trust my Patriot supply for my food storage. You can start small. Here, everyone in your household minimum should have 72-hour kit. And then maybe a four-week emergency food kit. The good news is you can start right there at the four-week emergency food kit because right now, if you go to prepare with glen.com, that's prepare with glen.com, you're going to save

Okay, you're going to start hearings very soon. This is the most important election of your lifetime. It's the most important election of your lifetime. Here are the scenarios that I see. Kavanaugh, they're moving the goalposts now on Kavanaugh.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And if, let me just give you a couple. Let's say he is confirmed. Okay. He's confirmed, but this kind of perjury stuff is percolating and they just make hay out of it. We go back to normal and the GOP loses the House to the Democrats. The Democrats then are going to demand testimony from Donald. Trump because they're going to try to impeach him. They're going to demand his tax records
Starting point is 00:53:24 because they're going to impeach him. And the White House responds by going to the Supreme Court and says, the president doesn't have time to do this, yada yada. And the Democrats then want Kavanaugh to recuse himself, which he
Starting point is 00:53:40 won't do. Which he won't do. It doesn't happen. And the House then moves to impeach Kavanaugh. Okay. So we've got a year of fun. Like certainly. plausible. plausible, okay? Let's say he's not confirmed because Flake or Collins or Murkowski or hell or, okay, they just don't
Starting point is 00:53:59 believe him. And the Republicans drop the ball. They have no plan. And they just like, well, you know, and we need your vote because we're going to repeal Obamacare too. They lose the House and possibly the Senate. Worst case scenario. So they don't get, they don't get them through.
Starting point is 00:54:16 They don't get them through because of the Republicans and because of this week with Jeff flake, people are just like, okay, the Republicans are worthless. I mean, and they don't come out with a huge plan. Yeah, I think you're right. They'll try to turn that into a reason to get to the polls. But if it's the Republicans that cause it, I don't know how that's going to work. I don't think it'll work. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Another scenario. He is confirmed. The House impeaches Trump. The House impeaches Kavanaugh on perjury. Think that is. If they win the House, you know they're going to at least attempt to impeach Trump. They will attempt Trump and probably Kavanaugh too. Correct.
Starting point is 00:54:52 If you lose the House and the Senate, these things are happening and there is no chance of them being removed, but you will have the next two years of nonstop impeachment hearings of both Kavanaugh and Trump. Okay. The only one that seems good to me is if Kavanaugh loses the vote. The only one that I think works out is Kavanaugh loses the vote, which could be really bad because it'll be the Republicans that do it. However, Donald Trump comes out and while he says, yep, that's over. Here's the guy. He ups the ante and you get a guy that all conservatives are rabid about. Somebody who you just know, oh my gosh, that's a Scalia.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Right now, Brett Kavanaugh has not been a. a lot of people's favorites. I mean, they're okay with him, but no, I was willing to die in a sword for him. And remember, Kavanaugh was not on the initial list of judges from Trump. And there's lots of them. He added him later. I personally think the best course of action is to nominate, let's say, let's say Flake and Collins come out and go, you know what, I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I'm not going to vote on Friday. I can't vote for him. Great. Donald Trump, within 10 minutes, should be on television and say, in my opinion, Mike Lee is the next nominee. And you know what? He's already been vetted for the FBI, and every senator knows him.
Starting point is 00:56:26 So we're going to be calling for a vote next week. Easy peasy. You know, that's the thing to do, because then you have them battling just on abortion. Right. The same complaints they'd have about everybody. Correct. And that's not going to hurt conservatives getting to the polls.
Starting point is 00:56:44 If you put a staunch conservative somebody who says, yeah, I think abortion is wrong. And if it comes before me, I'll look at the case. Of course. But I think it's wrong. I think it's murder. And Roe versus Wade was a terrible decision. You then have Republicans running to the polls.
Starting point is 00:57:04 You'll also have Democrats. But I think that's your best case scenario, if Flake or Collins flake on California. Glenn, back. Mercury. You know, I was thinking about it the other day. I was watching CNN and I saw three former Blaze employees sitting there and I thought, I have been so blessed to work with some amazing, amazing people. You know, when they were young and before they got famous and it's just, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:57:38 it's really satisfying. One of the guys that I think of often, and I have no idea why I let him walk out the door, but I think I would have had to block it with my own body, which he wouldn't have been able to move. but because he went to go become one of the founders of the Federalist, which is a great group of thinkers online. He has just written a book called First Freedom, a ride through America's Enduring History with the Guns.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And his name is David Harsani. Hi, David. How are you? I'm well. Thanks for having me. You bet. I appreciate it. You're a bigger guy than people think or no. So thank you for that. I think it was a fat joke.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I mean that in a good way. Yeah. David, before we go into your book here, just give me a minute on your take on Kavanaugh and what's going to happen. I think he's going to get through. And I think this is one of the ugliest smears we've seen, at least in my life covering politics and thinking about politics.
Starting point is 00:58:39 And I think it's going to backfire in that it's really brought together, most of the never-trumpers and all the sort of disparate parts of the right and rightly so. And if not, I was listening to you before. I think that Trump has to be ready for that, and they have to push through someone else because the courts, especially when you have a divided political environment, as you do today, the Supreme Court's incredibly important. And, you know, there's a rightful seat there for a conservative, and Trump should do what he has to do to get it through. What do you think about Mike Lee? As everyone knows him, you don't need the FBI. You could vote in a week.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I love the idea. I mean, and you know he's not going to like wander off. No. No. No. No. He's hardcore. So I'd be very happy with that.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Okay. So let's talk about your book. The thing I like about your book is that you do not shy away from America's gun culture. Yeah, I think we talk a lot about the politics of gun. And guns and obviously it's important, the ideology behind it. But I think a lot of people miss the culture behind it, the hundreds of years of, of, of, of, of, of, of guns. embedded culture, not just in war, but in commerce and in just the individual lives of Americans and how important it was and how that is in our DNA. And that's why we talk about guns the way we do.
Starting point is 01:00:00 So because I grew up in New York and guns were sort of alien to my, you know, neighborhood and place I grew up unless criminals had them, I thought it was important to try to figure out what that was about. And, you know, that's what the book's about. Wow. So how did you, I mean, what did you find? I didn't know that you were. you know, not part of the gun culture. I grew up in the gun culture, if you will. My grandfather and my uncles, you know, they'd go hunting and fishing, and we always had guns around. And it takes on a different meaning to me and to people who grew up around them.
Starting point is 01:00:36 What'd you find? Right. I mean, you know, where I grew up, you know, if you mentioned guns or if someone had a gun, they'd immediately think about it in a negative way, not something that would be positive. So, you know, just a personal story. My dad had a little jewelry store in New York, and it was robbed. And right after that, my dad tried to get a gun. And it was this, you know, this painstaking process of trying to get one to protect your own property
Starting point is 01:00:59 and your own work and your own family. So that's, I think, when I started turning towards, you know, having a curiosity about what it was about. And then when I moved to Denver and lived in Colorado and other places, I saw what it was really about and how people treated it. and how like an NRA member is the most responsible person on earth, you know, when it comes to the guns. So, yeah, and I don't know if that people. No, they don't, they don't understand that at all. Take me through some of the stories that you talk about, because what I like about this is this is not a gun. This is not a book about, you know, necessarily the laws and everything else.
Starting point is 01:01:34 This is a story about America and how we do. I mean, we're unlike any other nation on earth. when it comes to guns in our history. Take me through like either Sam Colt or Buffalo Bill. Two of my favorites. Well, Sam Colts, just one of the most amazing Americans that ever lived. I mean, not only was he an engineer and just created this incredible innovation where a person went from firing one, you know, musket shot once a minute or maybe twice a minute
Starting point is 01:02:05 to shooting five times in mere seconds. He was also just an innovator in marketing, in selling himself, in, in using the press to sell to other people and using and using engineering to create something that he can make cheaper so the normal American, the normal man, the normal woman can get their hands on it. And it changed the West. It changed the way that the relationship a person has with a weapon. And he also had, you know, he was before Henry Ford, he was using interchangeable parts. It was like the first industrial revolution. So he was just amazing man and almost, it was my favorite chapter to write, I think.
Starting point is 01:02:43 he needs, you know, more, we need a full book on him. Yeah. So, um, here we are at the, the one-year anniversary of, uh, Las Vegas in the shooting of Las Vegas. Um, did you, in your, um, looking through history, did you ever find another time in American history? And I should say, you know, uh, pre-progressive, uh, where guns had been viewed in America. as anything but good? No, I sort of actually, you know, in the 19th century, guns were sort of idealized and romanticized in books and things of that nature.
Starting point is 01:03:23 It wasn't until the 30s, really, when anyone started to think about. And for some good reason, people were running around with machine guns shooting up places, you know, Chicago and elsewhere. So, I mean, there was a legitimate fear that some people had. But before that time, no one even thought to limit gun ownership in any way. I mean, certain places in the West, maybe they had. certain areas where you couldn't have a gun because everyone was drunk and fighting, but generally no one had to go and ask the government, the state, for a gun. I think, in fact, that when you
Starting point is 01:03:53 think about the Second Amendment, how you think about the ideals behind it tells us a lot about how you think about freedom in general, I think you're pretty authoritarian if you think that the individuals shouldn't be able to defend themselves and rather should rely solely on the state. Because you could have, you could have had a gatling gun. I think you can still buy a gatling gun, legally. But you could buy a gatling gun, but we didn't have those, you know, the mass shootings. One, it's a little harder to conceal a gatling gun in a violin case, but also because the government's prohibition of alcohol led to the formation of these huge, terrible, and powerful mobs. Yeah, and, you know, they use Tommy guns and you see them in the movies, and, you know, it's kind of,
Starting point is 01:04:41 It's fictitious only in that the gun has, you know, big blowback and it's not that easy to shoot. And it was almost never really used in criminal activities. It was more scaremongering by people who wanted to ban them. I'm not saying people should have Tommy guns and driving around in their cars, but I'm just saying. I am. Yeah. I'm okay with that. If you're a responsible citizen, I'm fine with that.
Starting point is 01:05:01 That's true. That's true. Well. So, David, when we worked together, how long ago was it? 10 years ago? I don't know. Yeah, almost. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:12 So 10 years ago, if I would have said to you, in your lifetime, do you think there will be a serious move that either comes close or does take away America's right to guns? You would have thought that was a crazy question, if I'm not mistaken, don't you think? 10 years ago. Actually, yeah, I do. But I do feel better about the Second Amendment than I do the first, fourth, fifth, and others. 10 because there were 400 million guns out there. And I think that the people who are part of the culture that I'm writing about and talking about will not hand them over that easily.
Starting point is 01:05:50 So I'm less worried about them than I am, certainly the First Amendment, I think, foremost, but others as well. Well, you lose the second and you definitely lose the first. That's right. I wonder, you know, I wonder what it's going to take before people wake up to the road that we're sadly on. The name of the book is First Freedom, A Ride Through America's Enduring History of the Gun. It is a great read. It's David Harsani.
Starting point is 01:06:17 First Freedom. It's out today. You can get it as Amazon or wherever books are sold. David, thanks so much. Thanks for having me, God. So our sponsor, this half hour, is X-Chair. Now, I love it when a client is also somebody that I use and I love. I have an X-chair in my office.
Starting point is 01:06:45 office and I love it. It is, I'm kind of a, can we go two ways on this one, Stee? Mm-hmm. I'm a visual guy. Yes. And I like the visual, when, especially in our studios here, I like things to be visual. I've never noticed, but yeah. You haven't noticed that, yes. And so I remember we bought these chairs. I can't remember what they're called. Everybody knows what they are. really expensive chairs, some big designer made.
Starting point is 01:07:18 They're, I don't like them. I do not like them. Um, the X chair is a design beauty, if you will, but it actually is really, really comfortable and has like, I don't know about 15,000 different adjustments on it. I would do the show in a big bean bag if it was comfortable, right? Like I don't care about the look of it at all. Um, but it does look amazing. I, but to me, much more importantly, it's very comfortable.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Yeah. It actually supports your back. You don't feel like you're on like a bar stool and like, you know, because you almost need abs to hold yourself up straight, which I don't have. It's just a great, you know, it's noticeably different than the chairs that we had in here just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. So the X chair is the chair. And most of us spend more time in our chairs than on our bed at the office.
Starting point is 01:08:06 And usually we, it's the last thing we think of. It's like a staples chair. If you have an office at home, you have an office. you know, at the office and you want to be comfortable, or if you're, you know, building an office and you need new chairs, please check out the X chair.

Um, anybody who has read the book and wants to, uh, talk about it. I would love to talk to you about it and hear your thoughts where I might have missed it, where what you may have not understood, um, you know, what, what you think is crazy or what is good.
Starting point is 01:09:33 If you've read the book Addicted Outrage, can we put this on for Thursday? I'd like to hear from me Thursday on radio. Uh, and we'll take calls on Thursday, uh, just about the book. you've now given people enough time to actually read it, which is nice. Because I think you wanted to do this like the day after it came out. I did. And not everybody reads that fast.
Starting point is 01:09:52 No. So it's been out for a week now. And if you've read it, let's talk about it on, because there's a ton, a ton in there. I think it explains so much about what we're seeing with the Kavanaugh case right now. I think it's,
Starting point is 01:10:07 I think it's absolutely in line with the Kavanaugh. Well, it's amazing because I think a lot of people, if you're trying to look at this and you're just playing teams, a lot of people would just be like, ah, the Democrats are the worst and they're insane. But I mean, I know people who are Democrats. And they sound completely insane about this Kavanaugh thing. Completely off the rocker.
Starting point is 01:10:26 These are people that I know, people who I'm friendly with. And the extent that they'll go to here to try to take all male crime in the last 25 years and apply it to this one guy where there's no evidence that he committed any sort of crime. crime. That sort of jump is not, it's not just, hey, they want to stop this or, hey, they want to protect Roe versus Wade. There is a different part of this. It's about throwing the entire, the entire efforts of logic off base. It's based in postmodernism. It's explained in the book. And you'll see, because a lot of times I look at this and I'm like, I don't understand what are they
Starting point is 01:11:07 doing? Why are they saying these things? This doesn't make any sense. And there's easy political explanations for all of it, but it's not real. The real basis of it, the foundation of why they're, why are they attacking this in this way is all in the book. And it's, I wish I could, I wish Kavanaugh would have happened while I was writing the book because I think it is the perfect example. Maybe we should do that tomorrow. Maybe we should take the book, the theories in the book, and just show exactly why everything
Starting point is 01:11:34 is happening point by point. You can find it in the book, addicted to outrage. And the most important part is it educates you and shows you how the other side is fighting and why you must not fight that way. And the reason why is because they are trying to create chaos. Now, I don't mean your neighbor who is a Democrat. I mean, I mean the people who are at the university levels and the upper echelons of politics, they know what's going on. They don't, they do not believe what they're. saying. They're doing it because they have a goal. And their goal is to disrupt the hierarchy and the
Starting point is 01:12:16 patriarchy and to collapse the system that we have. Yeah. And if you see this too, like if you've ever had someone who has an addiction problem in your life of subsumstance, you see them acting erratically. And there's some reason and you don't understand it. Why would they do this? They blew their job. Why would they do this? They blew their marriage. All of those things. Why would the left act this way about this thing. And it's, you know, if you know why they're doing it and it's, you're not just dismissing it as typical politics, you can fight against it much more effectively. And, you know, you spend a lot of time in the book going through not just how, how and why this is going on, but how to push back against it and how to defeat it. Yeah. It is not a, it's not a book about
Starting point is 01:12:56 surrender. It is a book about stand and fight. Just fight the right way. Just know who your enemy is. the tactics that they're using and fight the right way. It's called Addict to Outrage. We'll talk about it on Thursday with you. So if you're reading it, try to finish it by Thursday. If you haven't started yet, please do. And then join us on Thursday. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:23 We've dealt with the Kavanaugh scenario. And it is that we are in an interesting place. It's going to come down to. whether the press and whether the Democrats can convince enough Republicans, not even about Ford, I don't believe, but now whether he perjured himself. That's what's coming next. We are going to take a stop in Las Vegas when we come back. Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with
Starting point is 01:14:01 or start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters. If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters. It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life. The news and why it matters. Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast. Glenn Beck. It's Tuesday, October 2nd.
Starting point is 01:14:26 This is the Glenn Beck program. I am not one to issue trigger warnings, but this particular sound has triggered one person. She says that she gets this awful feeling like she's about to fall off a cliff. She says, as soon as I hear helicopters, I fall back into that nightmare. She even got the feeling one time while watching American Ninja Warrior because it was filmed in Las Vegas. So it's American Ninja Warrior in Vegas. it's helicopters and some of her favorite music. In fact, her favorite, she cannot listen to.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Jason Aldeen. Her name is Megapanzira. She said that even when she passes a food truck, that night will come back. Crashing intensity that engulfs her. She's in the middle of the panic and she can hear the gunshots. One after another, after another, after another.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Like the sound that little boys make for machine guns, she said. She can see the faces of the people as they sprint toward her. Some of them fall, some of them don't get back up. She can smell the crisp desert air of October in Las Vegas. The aroma of food fanning out of the food trucks with their motors that are usually so loud, stinking with beer that people dropped as they ran. She can hear the screams. The screams for her that never seemed to stop.
Starting point is 01:16:08 And the feedback from the guitar is flung onto the stage. abandoned. Yet despite all of that, the engulfing terror of that feeling, it only takes one sound to bring her back. It's this sound. The tiny cry of her baby, her son, her hero. Megan went to the Route 91 Harvest Festival. It was October 1st, 2017, a country music festival that became the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. For Megan, though, it all started as a date with her then boyfriend, Valdo Penzera Jr. He was from New Jersey. He was in for the weekend to visit her in Las Vegas.
Starting point is 01:16:59 She was working there as a teacher. They had been looking forward to the weekend for a while. No stress. They were just going to go see some, you know, music, have some food, have a great time together. Some of their favorite country musicians, they were all there for that same weekend. And they talked about it. And more and more each day they got excited. But when the day finally arrived,
Starting point is 01:17:18 Megan felt a little gutted. She was exhausted. She really wanted to go, but she had been feeling sick a lot lately. So the morning of that concert, they went to the doctor, and by fate that morning, they found out that she was pregnant. She and Valdo were going to be parents. She said it was a strange realization to have. She said, giving the setting, and it happened so fast and I didn't expect it that maybe it didn't fully kick in.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Either way, she was now tired and pregnant, and she had plenty of excuses to skip the up-close festival experience and, you know, just go sit in the bleachers at the back. But the passes weren't cheap. Something deep inside of her, she says now, kept telling her it was a right thing to do. it's the right thing to do, go. She's returned to that assurance, that assurance that put her in the bleachers. The view and the sound wasn't very good. She had paid for great spots.
Starting point is 01:18:41 But she thought this would be a better place for me. It's just, it'll be a little more relaxing. I'll be back from the crowd. I can watch them enjoy themselves. And we're all together, after all. There they were sitting in the bleachers, not where they had paid to be. And then around 10 o'clock that night, during Jason Aldine's performance, it happened.
Starting point is 01:19:06 So many things happened. Too many things happened all at once. So many things at once that they continued to replay all the different things, one at a time to this day. It started with confusion. The firecrackers that turned into machine gun barrage, the screams. They said they couldn't believe. that all the screams just kept going all of it. Imagine the panic they felt as 20,000 people turned around all at once
Starting point is 01:19:35 and started running directly at them. Everyone ran. Everyone was just trying to stay alive to protect themselves or someone near them. The bullets were falling like hail in a tornado. They looked down as the bullets were falling right where they would have been if Megan hadn't been so tired and pregnant. and hadn't listened to her voice inside. So their seats at the back saved them,
Starting point is 01:20:06 or as they see it, their son saved them. Because from the back they were able to quickly escape. Although as they sprinted to safety, Valdo felt a whip of air past his head as a bullet flew past. It was close, and he knew what that meant. He said, that was the moment I realized, I have a family. I've got to do what I've got to do to keep them safe.
Starting point is 01:20:36 And he's done just that. It was a moment that redefined him, or at least strengthened a part of him, that he had been putting aside for later. Megan left Las Vegas and joined Valdo in New Jersey. Several months after the shooting, they got married in a gazebo. They did it in front of a body of water called Bueller's Pond, at a park near their home in a procession led by their mayor.
Starting point is 01:21:01 They didn't have a reception. They just went out for dinner. They didn't have a honeymoon because they thought it was more important to focus on their baby. So he would be born healthy to keep him safe, like he had kept them safe. A few months later, just eight months after the shooting, he was born. They both say now that when they hold him, they feel the weightlessness of new life. They've become immune to the dark moments they lived. I say they feel hope.
Starting point is 01:21:40 The flashes of dark thoughts are still there. Megan says she feels a sudden anxiety when she thinks about her son's first day of school. I don't know. I don't want to hold him back. I want him to have fun, but the world is just so different now. Valdon knows that. Like everything they've gone through. like all that they've seen and felt and heard all the dangerous moments they barely escaped.
Starting point is 01:22:08 It's just a matter of time. The world is different. Yes, who knows what their son will be like when the day arrives for him to walk into the classroom. Only time will tell, his father says. For now, time is fragmented. It's kind of cruel sometimes. Megan and Valdor still painfully aware of their environments everywhere they go. Things you didn't have to think about before, you have to think about now.
Starting point is 01:22:46 It's just different. It's different and we're raising him in a different world. It's really scary, Megan said. When she gets the feeling that everything is just so much larger than her, world, how the world has changed into something explosive and scary, open spaces bring that feeling on, that lights in your eyes, panic. Something else happens.
Starting point is 01:23:17 They haven't been to a concert since that day. They say even going to the mall is enough of an obstacle. But any time they're swarmed by that feeling, it goes away the minute they look at their son or they listen for his tiny sounds. He is the future. And they see the future that he will bring. Faldo's now a dispatcher for the local police department,
Starting point is 01:23:47 member of a nearby high school district school board, and in both positions, he is able to affect change in many ways, change that could save his son, could save anyone's son, from nightmares like his and Megan's. Because at the heart of it, nightmares of that kind are nightmares that we all feel.
Starting point is 01:24:08 They're all of ours. 851 injuries, 59 deaths. We see the numbers, we see the frantic cell phone footage, and it's all too easy to succumb into that debilitating feeling like Megan and Valdow have. But just look for the tiniest things. Look for the tiniest sounds. Look for the stories like theirs.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Listen for hope. Because it is there. Hey, we want to thank our sponsor this half hour. it's American financing. Stu was buying a, he was buying it, was that your first house or your second house? Let's see. You bought a house.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Third house, I guess. Third house? Wow. And, uh, moved around a lot. Yeah, moved around a lot. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:25:19 we all have, we're in radio. And, uh, so, uh, so Stu had to buy a house and he really didn't want to, because,
Starting point is 01:25:26 you know, you just, you believe renting is the smarter thing to do. I hate homeownership. Yeah. And, uh, so then he said,
Starting point is 01:25:32 Well, I'm going to buy a house, but I want the loan my way. Yeah, I want the loan like before they realized the financial collapse was coming. The ones they were given away to like the really dumb people back in like 2007. I want that one. Why does that make you feel better? Those are the ones that collapsed. Those are bad. Again, these arguments were made to me over this time.
Starting point is 01:25:53 Right. Okay. I understand them. All right. So he calls it, he is the toughest customer. Would you say? Yeah, when it comes to mortgages. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:01 The toughest customer. And he is the opposite of me. I'm like, they'll show me a bunch of, well, you're going to pay this much and I'll say, don't, don't show me that. I don't want to know how much of you. Just show me the line where I have to sign my name. Just let me sign this, okay? Stu is the exact opposite.
Starting point is 01:26:16 So he called American financing. They are salary-based mortgage consultants, which the difference is in what, Stu? Well, I mean, they don't care about selling me alone. Yeah. They want to, I mean, they worked really hard to, you know, analyze several different options. I called like 10 different places. and go through all of it. And I went to them and I was like, well, what do you think about this one?
Starting point is 01:26:38 And can you match it? You know, and they said, look, you know, we understand what you're looking for. It's not really what we do or any other sensible company does. Because we like to stay in business? Yeah, right. Yeah, we don't want to collapse the economy. Yeah. And they actually directed me to take a different loan because I thought it was a better fit for what I wanted,
Starting point is 01:26:57 which is not easy for a company to do. They don't usually do that. They'll figure out a way to convince you that what you, they have is what you need. The reason why I tell you this story is because he didn't eventually go with American financing because he was asking for something they thought was nuts. And they said, someone will give that to you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Anyway, Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net, they're just going to, they're going to find out exactly what you want to do and then not try to talk you into something else. It's Americanfinancing. dot net. This is the only mortgage company that really does care about what your goals are. Call 800906 2440. You want to refinance or you need a new home mortgage?

Welcome to the program. We're going out on tour in, what is it, three weeks, four weeks? I think it's three, four weeks from this week. We're going to be out on tour, and we would love to see you grab your tickets.
Starting point is 01:28:10 You can find them wherever tickets are sold, or at glenbeck.com slash tour. You can find the dates we're going to be out, but it's right around the midterms. And so, you know, it's... I think you might mention them. It's going to be fun. Maybe you might be talking about what's going on. I think I might have an opinion or two. Could be a couple things to mock in the election.
Starting point is 01:28:31 process. So I think it's the week. It starts the week before the elections. Uh, and then we, I think we break on election night, which I'm really bummed about. I didn't even think of that. We break on that. And then we come out a day or two after. And I have a feeling we're going to have a lot to say about what happens after as well. Um, so if you want a place where, you know, you can vent, uh, you can have a good time. Uh, and you can also learn about where we're headed and, the best way to make sure that we preserve the Western way of life and, you know, men, you know, so we're not all exterminated. You're going to have a great time. Addicted to outrage the tour, you can find it at glenbeck.com.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Yep, starts in Texas, October 25th and goes until the end of the year. Yeah, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, I think of the first weekend, right? San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Richmond, Hershey, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, Evansville, Tulsa, Tampa, and Orlando. Grab your tickets. It's going to be a lot of fun. All right. Stu. They now believe, now this is Elijah Cummings. They now believe that Kavanaugh needs to take a lie detector test.
Starting point is 01:29:57 Oh, God. First of all, the first thing you need to do when someone mentions a lie detector test is to stop. what you're doing and type in YouTube and then Penn and Teller I won't say the full word but BS about lie detector tests and just watch that episode
Starting point is 01:30:14 you will be stunned at how terrible the idea of ever giving anyone a lie detector test is and of course obviously it's Penn and Teller it's an entertaining presentation of the information but it checks out I mean there really isn't science
Starting point is 01:30:30 behind lie detector tests. No lie detector tests are not, you can beat them. And it's not, I mean, it's, it is not the end all be all. It's not. What it is useful for, in certain circumstances, is the idea of intimidation, right? If you are to say, I'm going to give you a lie detector test and you're going to have to tell me the truth. It's possible that the person tells you the truth because they're scared of the lie detector test. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:58 And that's where it's most useful. it's not to say that there's, you know, there's almost literally nothing behind them. I mean, it does not tell you when you lie. It's not like there's no such thing. There's no way to do that. Think about it. It's incredible.
Starting point is 01:31:11 And it's one of those things that I think most people take for granted. If you pass a lie detector test, you're telling the truth. That is not really the way it works. You know, yesterday we had Larry Sharp on. He's running for governor of New York. And you remember how he had these out-of-the-box ideas, you know, that like, nobody's talking about that.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Yeah. I got an idea. Okay. Okay. We administer sodium pentothal. to Ford, Kavanaugh, and the entire committee. Okay. Okay?
Starting point is 01:31:38 And then we just let the cameras roll. This has nothing to do with getting to the truth. I just want to see it. I just want to see. I want to see, oh, that's not a little bad. I was doing that in high school. I did that last week. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:52 Would you love to see these guys? Because nobody is talking about Feinstein, really. nobody in the media. This is despicable. I mean, I don't want to just take one side because I'm not God, so I don't know what happened. I happen to believe Kavanaugh on Ford. And most of that is because Ford has changed her testimony several times. There's nothing supported.
Starting point is 01:32:22 But maybe she's telling the truth. I don't know. I'm not God. So if I have to put them in a room and choose one or the other, I'm going to choose one or the other. choose him because I don't think she has enough evidence for me to credibly say, yeah, he's a bad guy. And even if I kind of believed her, I still would, there's a burden of proof there that it's not on him. Yeah. He's not, it's not a, it's not him to prove a negative. Correct. So I hope he didn't do it. And I don't think she has proved that he did by any stretch. And I don't mean beyond a
Starting point is 01:32:51 shadow of a doubt. I mean, just a preponderance of evidence. There is an inclination. I mean, honestly, at this point, I do not believe he did it. I frankly, do not believe it. I don't either. Now, that's not to say, as you point out, we're not God, even though we're pretty cool. So it's possible. Okay. But I don't believe that he did it. Right. So we've plowed this field over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:33:11 You know, how come nobody's plowing the field on how much they've destroyed her life? Senator Feinstein has destroyed her life. They lied to her several times. Lied to her? She requested anonymity. They released the letter anyway, causing a chain of events that would obviously refurb. feel who she was. They lied to, obviously they lied to her about the Democrats or the Republicans not willing
Starting point is 01:33:38 to come out and take her testimony in California. Yeah. She was surprised by that. I mean, look, to be frank, I mean, she's told many lies in this process as well. And, you know, I don't. How do you know those are lies? What lies? Well, things like, you know, she never flies.
Starting point is 01:33:55 That's why she can't make it to the hearing. And then, oh, well, yes, I do fly often. Yeah, I'm not sure if that was her. lie or if that was a lie coming from her attorneys. I mean, it's got her name on it. So, yes. But I think there were those around her that were also willing to help her discover some of those fairy tales. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 01:34:24 All right. We have a background check. Trump has just okayed the expansion of the FBI background check on Kavanaugh, which, yay. So we have that going for us. And really, I mean, let's be honest, it's important that someone who is going to be wielding a lot of power, especially where the law is concerned. Oh, yes. We look at every single accusation because the worst thing that could happen is, you know, he gets in and he's a judge and he is, you know, looking at some case before him. and he himself was a serial rapist.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Oh, thank you for bringing this up. It's very important. It's so important. It's very important. If you're abusive to women, you should certainly not hold a role that relates closely to law enforcement. It doesn't make any sense. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Like judge or attorney general. Attorney General would be a good idea. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point. And I'm glad you brought that up because there's a certain candidate who's running for Minnesota Attorney General. Really? Who's been credibly accused by a woman.
Starting point is 01:35:36 He was dating. Now, there's an interesting, there's a little bit of a separation, and we should be fair on this. There's a separation between the Kavanaugh case and the Ellison case. The Kavanaugh case happened 36 years ago. The Allison case was pretty much ongoing until very recently. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:35:49 So there's a difference. But, that's one difference. But Professor Ford, she had a spotty memory. Yeah, she had a very spotty memory. Now, the accuser, who we know. know. Now remember with Ford, we have no even sense that there was a relationship of any sort between Ford and Kavanaugh. Right. We do know that a long-term girlfriend of Keith Ellison has accused him of sexual abuse and physical violence.
Starting point is 01:36:15 Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. So we got both of those. So there's a little difference there. Does she remember where they happened? You know, she does remember when they happened. Okay. And she does. Well, she probably doesn't have notes from her doctor, you know, from the, when she was talking to her doctor. when the doctor gets it wrong, of course, like it did in Ford's case. They both have notes from their doctor. Oh, they do, but they're wrong. In both cases.
Starting point is 01:36:37 The Ford case was something that was 30 years after the incident, in which she referred to an attack by four people, which is different than the story that she's telling now and never named Kavanaugh. The notes from the Ellison, Keith Ellison's former girlfriend's doctor, do name Keith Ellison as the reason why she's getting medical attention for physical injuries. And that's kind of a difference too.
Starting point is 01:37:02 You might notice a slight distinction between those two things. Yeah, one has notes that don't actually name the accuser. And it was, you know, many, many, many, many, many years before. And this is, I'm going to the doctor to get medical treatment because this guy is abusing me. Yeah. And so, you know, in one, in one case, you have a woman who has photos of the incident and has photos of bruising on her. The other one, of course, does not. Being Ford, she doesn't have that.
Starting point is 01:37:33 Now, there's a witness situation we need to deal with, though, of course. Ford has named several people who were at the parties. None of them can remember it happening. The people Ford named cannot say that they were actually at the party. Some of them have said, I was not there. Some of them said, I don't remember any party like that. So there's a wide, a wide berth there between those two opinions. But she has named witnesses.
Starting point is 01:37:56 Just none of them have corroborated her story in any way. Keith Ellison's girlfriend has also named sources. Those people say the exact same thing and say they've seen evidence of the actual crime going down, including things like texts, writings, pictures, and video. Those are things that she showed to coworkers in real time. In real time. It has several people she told about it at the moment. Again, we have no one that Ford told about it at the moment.
Starting point is 01:38:27 In fact, in any moment, up and, at least 2012 where it does not appear she actually said to Kavanaugh or said the name Kavanaugh even at that time. Yeah, but but listen, I mean, you, I mean, you don't have videotape. Well, there was videotape. Now, we haven't seen it yet, though. Uh-huh. Now, there is allegedly videotape that exists somewhere of one of these physical altercations.
Starting point is 01:38:50 Allegedly. We have not seen it yet. Of course, there's no video of the Kavanaugh thing because, you know, that wouldn't be a thing that But we have to take her word that there is video with the... With the Ellison thing. That's right. And we don't have that evidence yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:04 We have a ton of evidence. In fact, I don't know, hundreds of times more. There's really no evidence in the Ford case. So we have... It's almost like we have a preponderance of evidence. In the Ellison case. However, what's interesting about this is that 56% of Democrats believe Christine Blasey Ford's allegations. 56% only 8% say they believe Kavanaugh.
Starting point is 01:39:30 56 to 8 is the split there. So you'd assume that if you ask people, and it wasn't a partisan situation, what do you think about the Ellison situation? What do you believe from her? Because she's got a more recent allegation. She's actually brought it to the attention in real time to multiple people. People around her have seen evidence of this. There's text messages.
Starting point is 01:39:50 There are medical notes. All the evidence that we just talked about, there's an infinity amount times more evidence in the Ellison case. Yet only 5% of Democrats believe Ellison's accuser. We are told over and over again that women are to be believed, yet only 5% of Democrats
Starting point is 01:40:08 believe the allegations against Keith Ellison. And here's why this is really important. Just like I don't want an abuser on the Supreme Court. If there was the amount of evidence on Kavanaugh that there is on Keith Ellison, I would not be,
Starting point is 01:40:27 Kavanaugh, would you? If there was a mount on Kavanaugh, no, I would not. Yeah. If the evidence was the same... What? We still have a standard here in this country called innocent until proven guilty. And preponderance of evidence is a slower, is a lower level than that. And I understand that.
Starting point is 01:40:48 My issue here would be, you can... Once there isn't a legal standard, because people will say, well, this is just a job interviewer. This is just an illegal proceeding. Once you have the absence of a legal standard, you have to choose the standard you apply. I choose to apply a very high standard because people who are in relationships many, many times when the relationships break up or someone feels jilted, say things that are not true. It happens all the time. So I would say in this case, Keith Ellison should have the right to defend himself and we should assume his innocence. unless we get to a point in which he is,
Starting point is 01:41:31 and especially with a case like this, where it's very recent, that should just go through the legal system. And when he comes out and he's guilty, then he should get thrown out of that job. And you can factor that in in your vote, if you wish. But I don't think he should lose any job because of this. At this point, he needs to,
Starting point is 01:41:46 you need to be able to see whether this case goes through and claims are proven. Someone has said they have video. We need to see the video. We need to see everyone, investigated. We need to see an actual police investigation go through and see whether the evidence leads us to a belief that he actually committed these acts. If we do not get that, you do not ruin people's lives over it. I mean, think about the amount of times of evidence that there is
Starting point is 01:42:14 with Keith Ellison over Roy Moore, which everyone, I mean, even a lot of people on the right were like, look, Roy Moore really looks like he did these things. His answers are really bad. you know, there's much more evidence for Keith Ellerson. Much more. There's people you can interview right now. Yeah. Children who went through traumatic moments where they had to read about their mom being abused. You know, her telling other friends at the time. That being said, however, you enter this process with a presumption of innocence.
Starting point is 01:42:44 I agree. So, but what I know about Keith Ellison's, the evidence against him. Okay. Assuming this was not current day, and it was 35 years ago, if Ford would come with that evidence, I have letters. I have a photo of the bruises on my arm. I have, I can tell you where it happened. I told my friends, and here they are, they verify that I told them after the party. would you not
Starting point is 01:43:21 go, okay, I think that's good. Yeah. I mean, I think that would be enough and it would be the only way we could judge the situation. Correct. Right. Correct. Here it is with Ellison. And again, this is why it's important. Just like I don't want to have a Supreme Court justice that is an abuser or a liar or whatever. I also think it's extraordinarily dangerous to have a guy who may have a guy who may have, have beaten his girlfriend, may have mentally abused his girlfriend, assuming the evidence
Starting point is 01:43:57 is real and checks out. You can't have him as the chief law enforcement of the state. Right. And does anybody care? No. This shows you that nobody in the media cares an iota for this woman and her story. They don't care if she was abused. They don't care about any of it. What they care about is stopping Brett Kavanaugh. If they cared, they would be just as passionate. As a guy, let's not just throw them out as a Minnesota Attorney General. This is a guy who's second in charge of the DNC.
Starting point is 01:44:31 Yeah, DNC. This is not a peripheral figure in politics. He's one of the most powerful Democrats in America and is now going to be a chief law enforcement officer for a state. And you could say, oh, well, what you're doing is what aboutism? No, it's not. It's not what aboutism. I apply the same standard to Ellison that I apply to Cavanaugh.
Starting point is 01:44:50 You weren't doing this to Cavana. I would still be saying this about Ellis. Yeah, I mean, go back to why is Barack Obama, why was Barack Obama president? Right. Barack Obama was president because he won a presidential election in 2008. Previously, he made a heck of a speech in, what, 2004, right? And that 2004 election, he won a Senate seat. A Senate seat that would have been incredibly close if he was going a
Starting point is 01:45:17 against not Alan Keyes, who they flew in the last week to start a campaign. But it was Jack, I want to say Jack Ryan, but I may be thinking of John Krasinski at this point. I've seen too many Amazon commercials. But Ryan was his last name. And he was a legitimate challenger to Barack Obama in that Senate race. It was a close election, and he may have won it as a Republican in Illinois. Wow. And what they did is they went through his sealed divorce.
Starting point is 01:45:46 hearings and paperwork, outed it to the public. And in there there were accusations by his wife, the actress, who had said they went to swingers clubs and all this sort of shady stuff. Do we know if that was true? I don't know. In a divorce proceeding?
Starting point is 01:46:03 In a divorce proceeding, people make all sorts of claims. And that's why you don't just believe them. That's why they're sealed. Because they went and got them unsealed in a Democratic state. And Ryan eventually dropped out. There was no real opposition for a Barack Obama and you got eight years of them. That sort of thing should be always viewed skeptically. Every claim of a crime should be viewed skeptically by people on that side. You're supposed to give the presumption of innocence and it's supposed
Starting point is 01:46:32 to start with skepticism of a claim. On any side. On any side. On any side. Of all people who are accused. And here we are in a situation where Democrats overwhelmingly believe the accusations against Kavanaugh with almost no evidence. And they only only Only 5% of them believe the woman who is a Democrat who does not want someone ideologically opposed to Keith Ellison to have that job. She's a Democrat. And only 5% of people believe her. The platitudes you hear from the media and the left mean nothing on this story. They do not care about whether Ford was abused or not.
Starting point is 01:47:11 They don't. And this shows you how fast that standard is applied. and how and how your life could be destroyed. You are on the wrong side of an issue. And by the way, I think you've seen the issues change and positions,
Starting point is 01:47:35 what's politically correct changes. And if you don't abide 100% and you're not on the right side, they'll destroy your life. Well, they'll let somebody else be fine. This is why we must have a, standard. We must have a standard. It's getting dangerous to be an American. That's a frightening thing to say. All right. I've been telling you about Goldline's new silver maple flex bar that the
Starting point is 01:48:04 maple flex bar here, Stu, can you open this up and break some pieces off? What it is, it's a, it's a bar of silver, and it's made by the Canadian mint. And what you do is you take it and you break it apart and it's in one tenth of an ounce, one quarter of an ounce. I couldn't get that one open either. I usually use it open. I think it's a trick one. I think they glued that one. This is like the fake birthday candle.
Starting point is 01:48:30 Yeah, I got it. There you go. Okay, so what you do is you take it and you can, it's like a credit card size and you break it up. It feels weird breaking this like beautiful. I know, I know. You break it apart and you can break it into smaller pieces. Now, this is for silver.
