A restaurant owner wrote a scathing letter as coronavirus restrictions force him to shut down. We’re witnessing the theft of heritage, hope, and the Western world. Anything could happen at the first presidential debate. The New York Times’ newest “bombshell” report shows that Trump used legal loopholes to lower his taxes. Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and the Democrats’ past extreme tactics could lead to her confirmation. Sen. Mike Lee describes why Barrett is a “fantastic” pick and how Democrats may attack her.

I grew up inside this restaurant.

And now my wife's helping out in the dining room. My daughter's working at the hostess stand. It's a family place, four generations and counting. I know every inch of pipe and wire that is running through this building. I've been the plumber, the busboy, the handyman, the butcher, the bartender, the prep cook, the manager. I've done every job there is in this restaurant. And now I'm the one who has to shut us down. It kills me.

My wife and I were supposed to be getting ready to celebrate our 60th anniversary, a 60th anniversary of our restaurant. this year. But instead, we're packing up and closing at the end of this month. I'll find another job, but it's more than that. This is my home. These walls are like a family photo album. I try not to get too sentimental about it because it won't change a damn thing. But sometimes the stress hits me and my heart starts going like crazy.

I get frustrated. It makes me angry. How does this whole situation make any sense? I don't know a single person that has gotten crazy. COVID. And I know that makes me lucky, but right now I can tell you about at least a dozen businesses going under and a few hundred people completely going broke. I know this virus is real, okay? It's real and it's awful. I'm not disputing any of that. But our national hysteria is worse. We've allowed this virus to take over our economy, our small businesses, our school, our social lives, our whole quality of life. We surrendered and now everything is infected. I like to believe this restaurant is resilient.

I tried outlasted. My father worked here five days a week until he died at 82 because that's in our DNA. When the governor first shut us down in March, I got together with my brother and my cousin and we agreed to think of this as an opportunity. The restaurant was doing pretty good at that point. We had a little money to spend. We said, let's reinvest back into the business like it's a supposed to be done. We took our time and remodeled the entire bar. We put in new bathrooms, new draft lines. We gave a tour to a few of our loyal customers that said, wow, when this place opens up,

you're going to fill it every day. You'll be bigger than ever. At first, the state was only allowed us to do carryout. Okay, we have five dining rooms, 85 employees, and 13,000 square feet of space. And now you want us to operate like a burger shack? How many people do you know who are willing to spend $40 on a lukewarm steak that's traveled halfway across town? That's not our business. We're old school.

We don't have frozen hot wings that we heat up and toss in a cardboard box in five minutes. We buy the chicken fresh. We cut off the fat ourselves. We pound it out. We bread it. Your wings will take 25 minutes while you're enjoying a conversation in a cocktail or two. But that's the old world, right? What choice did we have?

We redid our carryout menu and cut the prices down and teamed up with DoorDash and Grubhub. We created theme menus for Mother's Day and Easter. We delivered charity meals out to the hospitals, opened up a crab trailer out front so we could sell by the bushel. We were spending $800 a week on carryout containers, and there is no profit in it. You lose out on booze. You don't get the same tips. We kept hanging on through March, then April, then May. But our revenue is down more than 80%.

We had to lay off 75 people. That's 75 people dealing with unemployment and financial hardships, and not because a virus made any of them sick. When the state opened up for outdoor dining, I ran out to every Costco in the area, bought any picnic table I could find. We got $20 for $150 a piece. We roped off the parking lot and put out buckets of cold beer.

We tried to make it look nice, but it's summer in Baltimore. It's 90-some degrees outside, and you're selling cream of crab soup to people who are sweating on the asphalt? Why would they come? We stood out there for nine hours each and every day, and we waited. We got more creative. We kept on trying. We opened up at a 50% capacity. Had live music-themed dinners, mystery nights, a meal with a psychic.

We reinvented this restaurant a dozen times and none of it worked. And what support did we get? More rules, more restrictions, more regulations, more mandates and curfews. We had to close at 10 p.m. Because I guess maybe COVID comes out at 10.01. Except apparently, they didn't have to do that at the casino down the road because they have political leverage. They get to stay open as long as they want.

You can sit at our bar and have a drink, but you can't. can't get up and mingle because that's considered a health violation. So now I'm trying to serve you and police you at the same time. Hey, thanks for coming. We really need your business. Now put on your mask or sit the hell back down. I have to buy disinfectants, individual ketchup, paper menus, personal salt and pepper shakers, or anything else that I might get fined if I don't have.

My employees have to wear their masks all the time, even when they're alone in an office, But meanwhile, we have a group of 40 people in the dining room with no masks on, and that's deemed safe because they're drinking water. None of this makes sense. We had a customer come in the other day. She said she couldn't get seated. She couldn't get seated because we had a few other tables, and we'd hit our 50% capacity in the one dining room she likes.

I had to ask her to wait. I'd rather sit her down and take her money. I hate this rule, but I now have to enforce it. But she could see all the empty tables. She didn't understand. She got mad and decided to call 911 and tell them we were overcapacity. Two armed police officers came through here. The whole foyer was empty.

Nobody was at the bar. I have a max fire rating on the wall for 323 people. And they couldn't count up to 100. I told them I dream about being overcapacity, but I doubt that will ever happen again. It's like Trump said. The cure is worse than a disease. People spend too much time at home watching all the news all day long, drinking in this hysteria until they were spraying down their groceries and afraid to leave home. It became another anti-Trump thing in the press.

The impeachment didn't work. The killer bees didn't work. So let's blow COVID out of proportion and see if it hurts him. But it's the rest of us that got hurt. It was the day after day of failure. It's a slow and painful death. We went to see our accountant at the end of summer. He looked over at the numbers.

He didn't say much. That's not like him. I said to him, what would you do? He said the way things are going. You'll have nothing left to lose in just a couple of months. We made our decision right then and there. It wasn't really much to discuss. Our last day is September 30th.

And then we're done. This is happening all over America. People had good jobs. They had businesses. They built them. And the reason why the left insisted that Donald Trump do what he didn't do, thank God and have a national mandate is because they would have blamed all of this on him. They would have said it was the president's national mandate.

Instead, he said, I'm going to leave it up to the locals, the states, the cities. And how many cities are going through this? And how many citizens in those cities, both independent, Democrat, even Republican, are looking at it now going, what the hell is going? on. Why are we doing this? My kids are going to a school right now. Supposed to be one of the best schools around. Really? Because it doesn't seem like they are smart enough to figure this one out. The teachers are wearing masks. The children are wearing masks the entire school day. They're also sitting behind little glass partitions. Each of them

have a glass partition. The teacher is standing behind a glass partition. So you've got a mask, a glass partition, a glass partition, and another mask. My son sits in the back, says, I don't understand a thing that's going on. I can't hear anybody. They have to wear their masks outside. This is insanity. Truly insanity.

And I hope the American people see it as such. I hope the American people are figuring this out. I think they are. This nomination of Amy Coney-Barritt, if this is a trial and an impeachment of her character and an impeachment of her religion, the Democrats are going to pay a very big price for it. I don't think there's anyone in America

that is still a decent American. Remember, I don't think so highly of Americans. Americans are really good. They want to be good. But when they have people leading them into madness, they will follow. I know it firsthand. I've seen it firsthand. My family has been attacked publicly in crowds, spat upon.

People chanted. get out we don't want you here my family and I we we saw this behavior and we thought there's no one that we know of no public figure no personal figure that we would ever treat like that no one because it violates every bit of common decency it's one thing to say well i've said that on Twitter because Twitter Twitter goes to the worst parts of us. We suddenly become brave because we're on Twitter.

We can join a mob on Twitter, but most people I don't think want to join a mob. But that's what's happening. There's a mob and there's a mob that has been organized in Washington, D.C. It has been

organized by groups in secret secret combinations, political groups, people that are just after power and money, and they don't care how they get it, and they have flushed our way of life down the toilet. For what? A presidential campaign? Partly, but for a whole new system. See, if you kill the entrepreneur in America, you kill America. Because you're killing the individual. The individual just has to go to work at some chain restaurant.

They can no longer express themselves in their own restaurant. They lose the desire to say, I'll take that risk. Because anything can cut that risk. Destroy that. Anything can change the variables. And they have no recourse. This is the biggest theft. of not only money, but of heritage and of hope.

Where's your hope? When the government can come in and you have a successful business and tell you what to do, when the numbers don't bear it out, when they came in on a false premise 15 days to flatten the curve, and you're still doing it, where do you go? See, this is the conservative argument against big government. because there's no place to go. When the government makes the decision, they're the police and the criminal. The United States government and many of our states are responsible for this.

Not you. And hopefully someday soon will return to some semblance of sanity. and those responsible for this theft, this rape of the Western world, will be held responsible. All right, you know, I'm not listening to Cardi B's, you know, whap, at least on endless repeat, but I could, and I could listen to all of the beautiful lyrics and hear them just perfectly with my Raycon Wireless earbuds. I was on a plane this weekend and didn't have my wireless earbuds. Why? Because my daughter had taken them.

And when I got home, I said, oh, there's where my earbuds are. She's like, yeah, I lost mine. Well, then don't lose mine. Raycon. Raycon, wireless earbuds. They are great. They fit perfectly, unlike some earbuds, which will remain nameless, but they're white. And they're named after a fruit like an apple.

Anyway, you're one step closer to just the perfect experience with wireless headphones. Because the wireless ear pods that Apple makes are twice as expensive as these. As Raycon's newest model, everyday E25 earbuds, the best ones they put out yet, six hours of playtime. Seameless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, more compact design that gives you a nice noise isolating fit. And as I said, half the price of the leading quality earbuds, you're going to find one size fits all their fitting system. You're not going to lose them. They're not going to fall out. They're comfortable.

They're really the best buy in the market. Go to buy raycon.com slash back. That's B-U-Y-R-C-O-N. Buy-R-C-O-N. Get 15% off the RACON-E-25 wireless earbuds now at buy-Racon.com slash back. 10 seconds. Station ID. Welcome to the program.

Tomorrow is the first debate, and I have no idea what to expect. You have any, your wildest guess. I mean, literally, literally, midgets could come crawling out of Donald Trump's pants and on unicycles and could ride around the stage and I'd be like, hmm, I didn't see that one coming, but it makes sense. You know what I mean? It really is. Anything can happen. Anything could happen. I'm interested to see, because I think the audience expectation from the conservative side is that Trump's going to wipe the floor with Biden.

Yeah. And so the bar set very high. Yeah. It really is. I mean, I feel like Biden could come out and like mumble a bunch of syllables that don't connect into words. And we'd be like pretty impressive performance by Biden there. I mean, he got through it. He got through it.

He didn't make sense all the time. he said words the entire time. There's a couple of other words. I think Donald Trump, he keeps asking for a drug test, which I think is really weird. But he keeps asking for a drug test. Maybe because you know that thing that they, you know, like, did you see the movie The Rock? Yes, yes. A VX gas.

That thing that they stab into your heart and they inject you. And so like when you're dead, you go and you come alive and you have all that address. I think that's what maybe. Trump wants to see if they've done that to Biden. If right before he goes on, they just jam that into his chest and inject it right into his heart. He does seem to have his good days and bad days, Biden. I'm hoping for a bad day.

And it just seems odd, right? Like, why is this person so up and down? Some days he seems to have energy and be moderately coherent. And other days, he's almost asleep on stage and can't get through the most basic intellectual exercise. I mean, do you think there's a chance that he's? I don't know. I mean, he's not snorting cocaine.

but they're giving him something to... Well, Biden's had this weird, like, super soft-spoken thing he's been doing for 10 years. Yeah. And I don't know if it's that, you know, like there's all sorts of rumors on the internet from suppose, you know, all sorts of, it's all rumor, right? There's nothing.

Except for the jamming that syringe into your heart thing. That's clearly, clearly true. I think, you know, what Trump does is get under his opponent's skin. And I think Biden is at that point in his life where he feels like, I can do it. Everyone's saying, I can't do it. I can do it. Just put me out there.

I'll slaughter this guy on stage. And I think Trump wants to draw that out of him. I'm going to get under his skin, mention his son. The first two minutes. All right. All right. So in a world where who we are individually is being raped and taken from us, you might want to hold on to your identity and everything that that means.

Boy, so we watched what was it? the social dilemma on Netflix with my kids. Oh, yeah. They're totally fine with absolutely everything about them being out. And I'm like, okay, that doesn't make... Your kids are? Yeah. It doesn't make me like an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy that makes you completely unaware of what

that means. Yeah, but you're a kid. I know, I know. Everyone makes jokes when they're kids and says things. So everything is at risk every time you get online or they get online.

We have all sorts of special coverage on the debate starting tomorrow night. I have to tell you, I've got an announcement to make. I was all for voting for Donald Trump. I was on the bandwagon. It's on the bandwagon. Then the New York Times came out with this just absolutely can't believe it is true story about his taxes. My God. He took advantage of tax code loopholes?

Not only that, but he hit it while. he was admitting that during the last debate. Well, no, he didn't. He actually admitted that he took advantage of the tax. Yeah, no, but not that he didn't. He didn't go that far. He just said, I'd be stupid if I didn't. But in 2016, when he said he paid almost no taxes, this confirms that.

Right. It does. It does. This is not going to change anybody's mind. There's, you notice, there's nothing illegal. There's nothing illegal. They're not charging him with anything illegal. No, but he actually took advantage of tax loopholes.

The bastard. Is there anybody within the sound of my voice that if it was legal, you're not going to jail? Yeah. You had the attorney to do it and you were paying zero or $740 a year in taxes? Anyone within the sound of my voice? Brave. A big enough liar to call me and go, I wouldn't do that. I would send a check to the government just to help.

And a little bit extra. And a little extra. Give it to somebody who needs it. Yeah. You know, it would be your patriotic duty. Honestly, it's your patriotic duty to pay taxes when they're not pissing all of your tax money away. But when they're pissing your money away, when they're a horrible, bad steward to your money, I can guarantee you that the money I give in tithing and charity, that money goes further than the, what, 50% that they take from me.

You know what I mean? Yeah. By far. By far. And there's stuff in there that like he might have to pay fines for in theory or that he could get in quote unquote trouble for. But this is all. Trouble as in fines. Yeah.

Fines, right. He's been in a long term battle over about $70 million that he got in a return, which doesn't seem exactly like he followed the rules on it. But the bottom line is exactly, exactly. Zero minds are changed by it. Exactly. But can you count all of those miles? Yes, zero. No, not one person would change.

In fact, I found myself, and I've never found myself in this position. I found myself this morning listening to the news again, the way it was reported by the New York Times, and I was cheering. I was cheering. Good for him. Damn right, zero. How do I get those attorneys? I know, geez.

And I don't know what the point of this is. I mean, the only thing about it is, of course, how did they? get this? How do they get 20 years of his tax returns? Well, they don't want to say that. They can't. They can't. They can they have to they have to preserve their one, uh, their one in anonymous source. And I'd like to show you the paperwork, but I can't. You know what else is great? Not a word about the fact that he accepts no income as president. That he doesn't take a dime from the government. He doesn't get any of the $400,000 in salary. I mean, wouldn't that be a good place to mention?

Oh, and by the way, he doesn't take a salary for president of the United States. Here's the thing that everybody should be talking about. Here's a guy who has a global hotel chain, okay? And it pretty much verifies what we all know. It's successful at times and really not successful in times. You know what I mean? So we all know that. So there's no surprise there.

here's the thing that everybody should be asking about Joe Biden's three million dollar tax returns yeah where's that money coming from he's a he's a guy who is is uh you know living on a government salary now I know when you were vice president you wrote a book et cetera et cetera but how is everybody in his family so so rich I mean that's middle class Joe three million lunch bucket. Wow. That's a lunch bucket salary right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is laughable. And it's funny too to think back at all the things that we begged the media to dig into during the Obama era that they never did. We never even like his college transcripts like basic crap

that wouldn't have made a big difference at all. We never got. There were all those years. They were able to get 20 years of Donald Trump's tax returns in in something that is not illegal for the New York Times to do, but whoever gave it to them certainly could. committed a crime. Right. That's why, that's why, well, we can't reveal our source. Because it's a criminal. Right. Because the person who gave it to you just committed a crime. Don't they think it was Mary Trump? Isn't that what they suspect? Is that what they suspect? Is that what it is? I think so. Yeah. I think no. Seriously? I think seriously. I don't know. I know. I can't remember. I read an article though that they suspected strongly that it might have been married. Well, I have news for you. I wouldn't,

I mean, you say how would she do that? She's, she's a judge. You don't think that there. You don't think that There's people that she could call because it came from that court case. No, not the sister. The niece. Yeah. Oh, the niece. Yeah. That doesn't make sense. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, unless they might share the same accountant to me. But still, there would have to be somebody who did something very wrong here. Again, just because he's president of the United States does not mean he does not have the right to privacy. So let me ask you, uh, Amy Coney Barrett. You know who's going to be responsible for her becoming Supreme Court? I really think in the end. Uh, I've got a couple of names. Yeah.

One would be Harry Reid. I was going to say Chuck, Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer. Nancy Pelosi. I would say Diane Feinstein, I would say is the number one. Diane Stein. Diane Feinstein.

These, they did everything. They are the reason why you don't have a 60-person vote. Yes, Harry Reid. That's gone. That's gone. Right. Started that ball rolling. I mean, they did everything that just the Kavanaugh turned enough people that they said,

this is not right. Kamala Harris was big on that. Oh, big, big. And the one specific question about the dogma lives loudly within you came from Diane Feinstein, which is like the kind of the big slogan of the Amy Coney-Barrant nomination. And I love this. The dogma lives loudly. So in other words, you have a problem that I believe in the things I profess to believe. That's the dogma.

So Nancy is fine because she's not Catholic. The Pope is coming out like every 10 minutes going, hey, stop with abortion. You know, but the dogma doesn't live loudly. It doesn't even live in her neighborhood. The dog catcher caught the dog. What's this about dogs? By the way, I should point out, we have the notorious ACB shirt up now on Stu doesmerch.com or really shop.

Is shop.blazemedia. Stu does merch.com will get you to the whole store. But the notorious ACB. I feel like I got to have that. I love it. That's one you need. Can you get those overnighted for all of us? Probably.

I can at least attempt it. Because we have the debate tomorrow. We're going to do. What is the promo code? Glenn's debate. Hold on. Don't guess at it. Anyway, yeah.

So sign up for the Blaze because tomorrow we're doing our, It's like a mystery theater 3,000 thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, Stu's starting his show at like 8 o'clock, so he'll do his show. Then we go in at 9 o'clock into just, we're really second screen. We're going to be saying all the things that you want to say. We're also going to be doing some live fact checking.

But we're not going to try not to interrupt, except when we cheer or have really something very sarcastic to say. That's happening tomorrow. and then at 10 o'clock, and this will be on YouTube and the Blaze and everything else, we're going to give you our rundown and our analysis of the debate. Because quite honestly, I don't care what anybody says anymore. Do you? No. I don't care what any of these people on TV say anymore.

Oh, in fact, I can't listen to it. I can't either. That's the fact. Yeah, I just can't listen to it. So we're going to be the group that you can listen to. So tomorrow after the debate, make sure you go out Blaze TV or the Blaze TV YouTube channel and listen to our recap of the debate. And it's Blacetv.com slash glen.

The code is Glenn Debates. Did you actually see the Wolf Blitzer? Say 20% by the way. Interview Richard Blumenthal over the weekend. Oh, gosh. I'm so happy. Every once in a while, every once in a while Wolf will do something, I don't know, journalistic. And it blew me away.

I don't believe that. That's a pretty strong word in today. It is. It is, but he called him out. Because here it is. real quick. What are the Republicans doing that is illegal or illegitimate because the Constitution says the president has to nominate Supreme Court justices, the Senate has to advise and consent and confirm. So what is illegal about what the president and the Republicans are doing? You say it's

illegitimate. It is illegitimate. It's illegitimate. Where does it say that's illegitimate in the U.S. Constitution or in the law? Where does it say that's illegitimate in the U.S. Constitution or in the law? does it say that what they're doing the Republicans is illegal illegal it may be not under the constitution illegal it's legal and conditions and unwritten rules of the Senate is illegitimate unwritten rules you agree that there's nothing illegal or totally illegitimate as to what they're doing third time it may not violate the letter of the constitution all right the letter okay the letter or even the whole words of the spirit of the entire document. You could take one of those needles that they're jamming into Joe Biden's chest tomorrow

right before he goes on stage. Do that to all the founders. And they would also say, no, no, uh, has nothing to do with the Constitution. Do you remember doing an interview with him? Gosh, it was a long time. Was it Fox or wasn't CNN? I don't even remember. Someone sent it to me this weekend because they were like, he's doing the same thing.

Because you had him on about AIG bonuses or something. It was some story. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were holding his feet to the car because he was trying to make this big deal about it. And you're like, what is illegal about this? And he did the same thing. Well, it's not illegal per se. It's ill-tempered.

Yeah, ill, yes, ill. It's, you are the, at the time, you're the attorney general. You should really be only concerned with what's illegal, right? You made that point pretty clearly to him. That interview was not happy you did. By the way, so you know, all the social justice warriors, relax. Wolf Blitzer had his beard removed with duct tape right after that interview. So he's learned his lesson.

He's learned his lesson. Really? Oh, yeah. Wow, that's terrible. Wait till you see him today. Well, nobody will see him. He might even, by the time you see him, he'll probably have his beard grown back. My guess his wolf's beard would grow it every day.

If you removed it every day, it would grow right back in. His name is Wolf. Right. That's what I mean. It's just there. All right. Here's a fun fact. Getting older every day.

Yay! And the things that come with getting older. aches and pains, your joints start to wear down, the normal exercise of everyday life begins to catch up with you. Yeah, see, I told you exercise bad for you. Most of what causes this pain and a lot of other forms of pain is inflammation, especially in the joints. And if you're going to go through it, it can take, I mean, your whole life will change

if you don't do anything every day, a little less brighter. You know what I mean? And you're like, okay, the walls are closing in on me. Help. We can help you. Have you tried Relief Factor?

I'm good. I'm just, I have to call in because I'm constantly watching the news. I'm constantly watching Fox News. That's where I get the truth. Got it, got it. Yep. Good for you. I'm a senior.

And I went to the store a few weeks back. And I saw this bumper sticker. Uh-huh. That's a big. car to have a... Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. It just hit home to me. Yeah. I was born and raised Catholic. Uh-huh. And none of the people that are out there that are proclaimed to be Catholic are the way I was brought up. Did you call about the Amish?

Because that's what my note says that you had something in comment on the Amish. Yeah. At 2016, I was up in Lancaster County. Uh-huh. And I had to have some work done. Don't matter. Okay, okay. And when I went in, the Amish man said to me, who are you voting for?

And I said, I'm going to vote for Trump. And he said, I'm glad to hear that. And he came out, my cousin was in the car. He came out and he asked her who's she going to vote for. So there are a lot of probably Mennonites or Amish who are out. out there and they are going to do the voting. And so I cannot pose. I myself, I'm not.

Well, I don't. Okay. Linda, thank you very much for your phone call. It was a long journey. But the, I don't know how many, I mean, I mean, I don't know that the Amish are really going to affect the vote. Oh, I think so. It's the only, it's to me, the only demographic that matters.

Did they, if Trump doesn't come out, anti-electricity tomorrow, he's dead. I mean, this election's over. Right, right. I mean, what would change their mind? Have the Amish really been affected by, you know, they're not watching the news. They're not like, oh, man, CNN has really pulled the wool over our eyes, literally the wool, too, because we haven't even made it into anything. We're just sitting here with wool close to our faces piles of wool. Who wins the piles of wool vote?

Who does? No one's even talking about it. Who does? Let me go to Felipe or Philippe, as they would say in Houston. Felipe Yes Yes Go ahead You're on

Hello Ben I'm so happy to be able to come through Thank you Okay so the reason I'm calling The reason I'm calling And you're doing good work Very good work by the way So the reason I'm calling is because

I'm tired of that Fauci He's a farce He's a farce And you know something I'm a little bit disappointed In Fox News because they're also peddling some

lies, you know, some, like, about Diana Taylor saying that she's an innocent dove. I mean, somebody that that has a dead body in her trunk is not an innocent dove. I think she was definitely not, she's not dating an innocent

dove. I don't think any guys ever said that. The guy she was dating was pretty nasty. Yeah, but she, I mean, she wasn't the shooter. She didn't. And the police do not believe she had anything anything to do with any of it. So I appreciate it. Those were, that was fun. We need to give the callers more practice. We're not taking enough calls.

We have. We're not taking enough calls. This is our fault. Just we got to cut to the chase as quickly as we can. And we apologize for us. It's our fault. Falling down on the job. But thank you so much for listening and calling in Senator Mike Lee and a lot of information on the nomination of our next Supreme Court Justice in a minute.

So I have to tell you, um, first of all, thank you to Bill Barr for sponsoring this half hour of the Blaze broadcast. Um, I have to tell you, last time I was talking to my wife, because I went to go grab a built, Billed bar. Yeah. And it was all, she's like, oh, there's like lots left.

And I went in and they're all coconut. And you know, because she like, I love the coconut, but that's all she orders. And I'm like, can you think of other people from time to time? my gosh. Wait, do you love these coconut or do you not love the coconut? I love the coconut. So why are you complaining about their motoring the coconut? She hasn't had the cookies and cream.

She hasn't had the mint brownie. She hasn't had the caramel brownie. She hasn't had any of those. So she's the type. She gets one that she likes. And she just sticks to it. And I understand that because, I mean, it used to be like that with Atkins. You know, things that are healthy for you.

They usually suck. And so when you find one, you can tolerate, that's not built bar. These are all really good. It's like going to the cheesecake factory, you know. and having the same entree every single time. No, you know, branch out. They're really good. They're all really pretty good.

Seems like most of the flavors of cheesecake that they have at the cheesecake factory are Bilt Bars. Yeah. That's how good these flavors are. These are so good. They're protein bars. They're like 130 calories. They're healthy, high protein, low calorie, high fiber, low carb.

Welcome to the program. Some numbers for you. We are 233 days since the last death in Afghanistan of a U.S. soldier. 233 days. Where's the press on that one? That's a remarkable, remarkable stat. and we haven't heard anything about Afghanistan. Congratulations to the president and our military.

233 days without a death. That is substantial. Now let's get the rest of our boys home and end this madness. Another stat for you, it looks like it's going to be about three weeks before we hear from Amy Coenney Barrett. Why? Why? Why, why, why, why, why, why? Mike Lee's going to be here with the answer for that.

And I can't believe some of these trucks are still standing.

I mean, we work them hard at the ranch. And yet they're still, they're still going. The reason why is because we have CarShield. There are things that I just would not have fixed on these trucks, and I would have just said it's just not worth $6,000 to repair that chip on that truck. But I have insurance. I have an extended plan, if you will, from CarShield. So they cover all the big repairs.

That's why my cars have lasted. That's why I didn't have to shell out for a new truck. Car shield. You have peace of mind. coverage today and see why CarShield cars go further. 800-665-2157. Mention the promo code Beck or visit CarShield.com. Use the promo code Beck, save 10%.

Have you ever had a built bar? Never. You should. I mean, look at you. I mean, a little pudgy. Yeah, no, in Utah, we're going to speak of or eat little else other than Bill Bar. It's going to be all bill bar all. Yeah, all the time.

Good. It's a Bill Bar economy, really. I'm glad to hear it. What are you drunk today? This is the, I mean, this is the Mike Lee, I know, but the Mike Lee that is usually on the air is very buttoned up and very serious. serious. This is what happens when a Mormon has a Diet Coke before 20.

All right. So, Mike, congratulations on the nomination. I think this is the person that you really wanted. Out of all of the lists, is this the person you would have picked? I think she's going to do an amazing job. And I told the president this really was good work on his part. We're going to get her confirmed. So may I ask, why is it going to take until October 12th to start the process?

Yeah, that's a fair question. I wish we could start it faster than that. I was told by the chairman that that would be the day that we would start. There were a couple of us who asked whether we could start it a week earlier or even sooner than that. And he pointed out that there's a lot of paperwork that has to be filled up by the nominee, a lot of process that it has to occur behind this. She's already filled that out. Yeah, but the FBI's already done that.

We were told nonetheless. Uh-huh. What we were told needs to happen. So look, let me put it this way, if he decides to start the hearing tomorrow, I'm here, I'm ready to go. There's nothing in the Constitution. There's nothing in federal statute.

It requires us even to hold a hearing. There's certainly nothing in the Constitution or federal statute requiring us to wait a certain period of time before starting said hearing. if we're going to have them at all, which we're going to do. So I think we ought to do it sooner rather than later, because the sooner we get that started, the sooner we can get are confirmed.

So the... We need to face down the uncertainty, and we need to resolve the uncertainty so we can get this job done so they can't pull crap like what they pulled with Brett Cabano. The reason why I say October 12th is in the year 2020, that's a lifetime. We could all be speaking some space language by that time.

and it pushes the vote to October what, 29th, Stu? October 29th. That's right away just a few days from the election. If it's stalled, delayed, anything changes, you could see a vote that doesn't happen until after the election. And then you know, well, I won't put words in your mouth, put words in my mouth. Then the Romney weasels will all scatter and go, well, I don't know. Trump didn't win the election. should he not win?

Yeah, let's just say that we'll stipulate for the record that that would be bad if we were to push until after the election. Because it's sort of like crossing the streams on gross busters. Once you do that, all sorts of bad stuff starts to happen. If you wait until after the election, then if we lose the election, either the Senate majority or the White House or heaven forbid both, then you've got some people doubting whether we should be doing this or not. And so, yeah, this needs to happen sooner rather than.

later he needs to get started ASAP. So did you read the, um, the op-ed from Bloomberg, uh, written by somebody who I think clerked with her, uh, for a different judge, uh, for a different judge in the Supreme court. And she, he said, I disagree with Trump's judicial nominee on almost everything. But I think she's brilliant. And he's a, a lefty who doesn't agree with. you know, with the way she does things or what she's going to pass his verdict, he said,

but she is so smart that you want someone like her on the court to analyze. He said, even though I disagreed with her, he said, I would go to her for the understanding of what these tangled words meant sometimes because she could just so clearly cut through it and explain it. Yes, yes, I read that. And I thought it was fantastic. and I think it's one of the many reasons why she needs to be confirmed and why she will be confirmed. I mean, look, this is somebody who has dedicated her life to law and also dedicated her life to raising her seven children.

She's fantastic. And Professor Noah Feldman was exactly right. She needs to be confirmed. So we've got to get the show on the road. So do you have any inkling on? on what the Democrats are going to try to use again? Because if they use religion or they try another Kavanaugh, it's going to kill them.

It's going to kill them during the election. Yes, it is. And so one would ordinarily think that that means that they won't try that because it would be extraordinarily harmful to them. But it's sort of like those nature videos you watch on the Discovery Channel when you see the Wildebeest approaching the water that they know is going to be infected by They're really thirsty.

They're really thirsty. They've got to get to that water and they can't help themselves. That might be what we see here. The last time in Judiciary Committee, when I brought up with some of my colleagues, you know, maybe we shouldn't start questioning a judicial nominee's religious beliefs because there are at least two, arguably three provisions of the Constitution that prohibit us from doing that. And because it's evil. because it's evil.

And they honestly said, oh, no, no, we really think that we're going to attack them. So you don't think that they're going to stop because they did something I think just as bad. They, it's not unconstitutional to do this, but they attacked her adoption of her non-white kids. And somehow or another, that's racist. Yeah, apparently so. I didn't know that. And neither did she. But apparently they are the deciders of such things, and they have made that decision. They've also made the decision, as came out in her last confirmation hearing for the U.S. Court Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, that she was apparently too Catholic, but the dogma lives loudly within her, and that that's somehow bad.

So, yeah, I suspect those things will come out. not because it will do them any good, not because it will enable them to defeat her, not because it will help them in this election, but because they can't help it. Do you think things would have been the same? Do you think she would have been nominated and you could be as assured as anyone could be that it will go through if Kavanaugh wouldn't have happened? I think they really pushed their luck on Kavanaugh. I think they threw the Hail Mary pass in the very final seconds of the game and they lost.

I do think it's going to be a little bit harder for them to pull this trick this time, especially because, as I pointed out in our Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, I went through the list of people they've personally attacked and just getting started, just rattling off a few names. You know, there's Brett Kavanaugh, and of course there's Robert Bore. of course there's my former boss, Sam Alito, and then there's Clarence Thomas, all of whom had their character personally attacked to the core on things that turned out to be really untrue and really uncorroborated. And I said, no, I challenge you guys to name me one, name me one Democratic nominee who's ever been treated that way by Republicans. Crickets.

This is from a group of people who can't shut up. This from a group of people who spoke for a really, really long time that day about everything else. They had no response to that because that's not how we roll. And so I think deep in their mind, they realize that what they're doing is wrong, that what they're doing be clowns them, and demeans the process. And so I hope they will find some conscience in there. Talking to Senator Mike Lee, speaking of Democrats be clowning themselves, Great word, by the way.

Yeah. They are threatening all sorts of procedural delays, including and up to throwing random impeachments in the process to try to delay this thing so they can get it past the election. Is it possible that any of that can work? It's possible they can delay it. So I was on the ABC Sunday news show yesterday, and one of my Democratic colleagues, Dick Durbin from Illinois, was opposite me and being questioned by George Stephanopoulos. And Mr. Stephanophilus asked Senator Durbin whether they would be doing that.

And Senator Durbin, as I recall, basically said, look, we can delay this by maybe a couple days, but I really don't think we have the procedural wherewithal to just stop it. I hope that that remains the case. I hope that that's not bluffing and that that's your incorrect assessment. I plan for that because there are procedural tools that they can pull. including those that involve impeachment that can at least make it more difficult for us. So off of the nomination of the Supreme Court here, and one last question, because you will know what this means. You know, when we declare an emergency, people don't understand that that gives all kinds of new power and spending and everything else.

There's a story that came out over the weekend, President Donald Trump slated to announce a measure that designates far-left movement Antifa and the KKK as terrorist organizations. What does that designation mean? Anything? Okay, so it's been a while since I've looked at that designation, but it allows the president to utilize certain assets, certain levers of authority within the government, including a treasury department, to block, among other things, financial transactions, carried out by the organization in question so that we can stop them from engaging in acts of terror.

And so this could be a significant move. I certainly think that in both cases, in the case of the KKK and TIFA, you've seen a whole lot of evidence that terror is their game. And I know of no reason why the law as written wouldn't extend to those categories. so make sense to me. Okay. Mike Lee, thank you very much. God bless.

If Amy Coat-Barrid joins the Supreme Court later this year, conservatives will rightly be thrilled, but maybe Democrats and the left will question their scorched earth tactics of the past few years. Had Democrats been more restrained and more bound by norms of the judicial confirmation process,

Barrett wouldn't be in the position she's in today. As the nominee with 51 very likely votes in the U.S. Senate, in the U.S. Senate. When talking about judicial wars, it's always possible to go back to Estrada or Robert Bork or even Roe v. Wade. But here it's not necessary. You can go back to 2013 and look at four decisions made by Senate Democrats that if they wouldn't have done in maybe even just one of these four, Barrett wouldn't be here. First one, nuking the filibuster. Harry Reid, former Democratic majority leader, faced heavy pressure for years from liberal judicial groups, especially abortion advocates, to go nuclear. Finally, in President Barack Obama's second term, Reed pushed the button. Reed abolished all Senate rules in effect by declaring for the first time ever that a majority

of senators could change the Senate rules. Then the Democratic majority used this power to abolish the filibuster on nominees to district and circuit courts. It only took 51 votes rather than 60 to invoke cloture and proceed to a nomination of the circuit court judge. About four and a half years later, Barrett's nomination moved to the floor with 54-42 cloture vote. Were it not for Reid's nuclear attack in 2013, Barrett might not be even a federal judge today. Second, filibustering Gorsuch. The next filibuster nuke was by Republican leader Mitch McConnell in 2017. Democrats filibustered the eminently qualified and totally uncontroversial

nominee, Neil Gorsuch, picked to replace by the late conservative Justin Anthony Scalia. The filibuster by Democrats made it perfectly clear they intended to filibuster every single President Trump nominee to the Supreme Court no matter what. With that fact evident, it was easy for McConnell to convince enough Republicans to vote in there are no rules environment that he inherited from Reed to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. Had Democrats gone the high road and allowed a vote on Gorsuch such as Republicans that allowed votes on every Democratic nominee for a generation, then McConnell would not have had the opportunity to push the nuclear button. Had they not filibustered Gorsuch, Trump might have been forced to nominate a 60-vote

a 60-vote-consentious candidate and to replace Kavanaugh and the filibuster might still exist today. Next, the dogma lives loudly within you. Conservative legal scholars were always going to be excited by Barrett's nomination of the circuit court. But what made her cause celebrity was the Democrat's nasty culture war attack on her. They never marshaled any evidence that Barrett substituted on her own religious beliefs for the law of the Constitution. And so they were reduced to utterly distorting her record and just admitting that her living as a religious pro-family Catholic creeped them out.

It was the naked admission of Feinstein. and her case against Barrett that Barrett actually takes seriously the teachings of the Catholic Church that doomed the Democrats. This is becoming a rallying cry for conservative Catholics and religious conservatives broadly. It laid bare the bigotry of the other side's culture warriors. And so for a guy who likes to fight like Trump, it made Barrett the natural pick. The fourth thing that they said, if the Democrats wouldn't have done, things would have been different, smearing Kavanaugh.

Now, I'm wondering if they're going to, or if the press will even start to see a pattern here, that everything is falling apart on them. You know, the support for Black Lives Matter is down in the 20s now. They were more popular than the military just a couple of months ago. Why? Because it was jammed down everybody's throat and you were told that these are peaceful. instead of what they really were. People want to make up their own mind and they know when they sniff out a lie.

The same thing with Donald Trump and the media. I think the media and impeachment and the Russia collusion thing, I think those two things, along with the media, are the reason why Donald Trump will have the votes that he has come November 4th. I think people have been red-pilled by, the media and the overreach of the left. Leftist corporations like Verizon have empowered radicals to tear our country apart by funding their efforts, most recently sending $10 million to Al Sharpton and others like him.

Look at what the leftists have done to this country. It started with impeachment. Then they exploited the pandemic. Then it came to rioting and looting. And now they're threatening violence over filling a vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Where does this end? Well, it can end with you. Stop funding these movements by sending a check to a company that is sending some of their profits to those movements.

Incredible debate coverage. You don't want to miss it. Tomorrow, right before the debate. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hey, I do have an early report. I asked my researchers to look in to see what can you find against Amy Coney Barrett that the Democrats might use. And they have found some things about her youth. I hope they're not going to use these things.

But they very well might. They're already saying she's a racist because she has kids that are not white. and that all of a sudden is racist. Oh, okay. So they might. But a man has come forward under the banner of hashtag men too. It hasn't caught on yet. But he said that in the second grade,

Amy and her best friend at the time cornered him at a birthday party at Chucky Cheese and gave him kudies. And apparently injected him a full dose of kudis. Which if true, I mean, that would disqualify her. I don't even want her on the court if that's true. Yeah, there's another woman who says that when she was nine, she lived on the same street as Amy Coney Barrett. And she said that Connie Barrett borrowed a VHS tape.

Herbie Goes Bananas didn't return it for like six months. And then when she got it back, it wasn't even rewound. So that's... Behind, rewind. Yeah, well, the FBI has interviewed at least two witnesses so far. they say the tape wasn't rewound, and it was very upsetting to the nine-year-old owner at the time, but it's troubling. That kind of integrity, you know, that you want to see in a Supreme Court justice was not there when Amy was nine, apparently.

And the real bombshell that I think they're going to be using is about the drinking problem that she had when she apparently in elementary school. She liked to drink milk and lots of it. And neighbor says she frequently witnessed Connie Barrett and her friends chugging those little cartons of milk. That's stuff from the utter of a cow? Yeah, often whole. I mean, not even 2%. Just whole milk, chocolate milk.

Sometimes, I mean, they had so much of it. She said that she actually witnessed Amy wasting it, blowing it out of her nose after she drank it. Oh, my gosh. So. Now, she wasn't responsible for. Herbie actually going bananas. No.

Okay. Not yet. We don't know that yet. I would not be surprised to find out. No, but going bananas is what is being charged that she made another kid, now man, go bananas. Because a group of four or five of her friends, they don't know where yet, where this happened. The recollection is a little fuzzy. But apparently they ganggraped him on the playground during, right, right?

recess. What happened? He was ganggraped. What do you mean gang graped? Gang grapeed? Yeah. Gangraped? Yeah, they would take grapes from the cafeteria and then just pelt him in broad daylight. There, they think, they think they remember it happening, this horrible, horrendous gang grape that happened on the playground. And apparently he recalls Amy and her friends just laughing the whole time. While they were gang Graping him. So, I mean, obviously, if any of these allegations, even half true, no senator can do that. In fact, Romney was really upset at the ganggraping.

A lot of fruit-related issues she's had in her past. Yeah, as well as the, you know, abuse of illicit cooties. You know, the very questionable calcium habits that she had. And, of course, the gang-graping. Calcium's a drug, in my opinion. should be banned. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Well, now I don't. Where was Mike Lee on any of this? I know. Even even if any of these are not used, I mean, they can always fall back on the deranged preference that she has to let babies be born. Ew. Yeah. The whole thing's gross.

Right. That in it. I mean, you want a Supreme Court justice that it was gangraping people? No. No. I know. I don't. No,

thank you. I know I don't. Thank you. I'm much more disturbed about the whole baby's being born thing, though. That's wrong. That's wrong. Well, but if you do believe that, you should adopt, unless you're her. Because that is just a sign of her colonialism.

Right. I mean, for adopting a kid from Haiti. Stealing children that are black from Haiti doesn't make you a non-racist. Right. Well, it's because Amy, and I'm quoting somebody who doesn't know her, quote, she sees a chance for this white colonizer to save these savage children

in the superior ways of white people. You're talking, of course, Ibram Kendi here. Yeah, who doesn't know Amy at all, but no, but he does know white people. He does because he said this is a racist. This is, they use these black children or brown children or yellow children or whatever kind of children you have except for white and it props in their

lifelong pictures of denial. They're just, they're like scenery on a stage. You know, it's just a prop or a tool. They don't actually see them as kids. Oh. And they cut the biological parents, you know, the, the relationship that they had with their parents and cuts that right off. Now, if you think all of that sounds as sensible as we do,

is gain great. is the gang greeping done by done by Amy Coney Barrett. And don't forget four or five of her friends. But we don't even know. We don't know their name. Probably serial killers today. Probably.

If you want a book by Ibram Kendi that's targeted at your baby, feel free to go to Target and get it. Because that's where they sell it. Anti-racist baby by Ibram Kendi. It's available at Target. And almost every bookstore you'll walk into if any of them exist. Look at book scan. See how many.

how many copies that book has sold. That's not how book scan works. You can't just look up book scan and see how many copies is. You actually can, but you're not me. Yeah, and if you were you, you would be, again, you'd be breaking the rules by saying it on the air anyway. So I wouldn't want to give it to you because you would blurt it out on the air. I'm not saying it on the air.

Point is, this guy's- Oh my gosh. Stations, edit that out. You could see him on the Today Show. He's everywhere. Oprah. He's widely accepted. And here is a man who is outwardly advocating for, discrimination against white people.

He is saying that because there was past discrimination by the system, which of course he defines basically exclusively as white people, we design the system. The Western way of life. The only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only solution to present discrimination is future discrimination. He is telling the American people, he wants white people to be discriminated against. And his book for babies is on sale at Target. So when I said, I wouldn't say per se that he is racist, but he seems to have a deep-seeded hatred for the white culture.

Does that seem like it's really super accurate right now? You know, that does sound pretty accurate. It's not like he just hates white people. It's just that he hates the white culture. He pretty much does hate white people. But yes, he also hates that. No, I'm very well aware of that. but at the time I may have tried to be a little more sensitive in my insensitive and racist comment

that seems to hold up now over time. Seems to be like, oh, now I don't know. Oh, Katie, when I said white culture, this is what I meant about white culture. It's these, I mean, this is the same, this is essentially an academic face on the rantings of Jeremiah Wright. Oh, yeah. It really is. Oh, yeah. Abraham Kennedy.

And he is widely accepted. He is designing training, you know, programs for your company to not be racist. And your kids. And your kids. And your kids. Like legitimately directly a book to kids. There's a book that, and this anti-racist baby book, you'll see the pictures where there's this wonderful child of color that is being held by their parent.

And they just want to, they want to touch the butterfly. There's a butterfly flying around. No. I love butterflies. No. As a white kid. No. No. Because there's an evil white arm in the side with a net for all the butterfly, catching all the butterflies for the white kids. And we stomp on them after we catch them.

But you know what? Go teach your baby that. Because babies, here's the thing about kids, Glenn. They don't give a crap about any of this nonsense. No. They don't care about your stupid color of skin nonsense. Kids will not play with kids. No, kids will not play with kids that look differently in any way, shape, or form. Shockingly, they will all the time. They don't care. They don't care. until their dumb parents start making this to do a big deal. Science denier. Just like they don't care about eye color. Science denier.

They don't care about other immutable characteristics. They only care about skin color because for some reason, we're teaching them about racism when they're babies. And by the way, teaching them not just about that racism is wrong, but that white people are inherently and cannot avoid the racism that they have inside of them. You speak the truth now. Oh, wait, I forgot which side I was on. Okay.

That's okay. That's okay. It gets confusing. We're going to talk to bait when we come back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about Simply Safe. Somewhere out there, maybe in your neighborhood right now, as a burglar, man of very fine tastes. I wouldn't mind helping himself to your TV or your laptop.

You know, maybe the Xbox or PlayStation. And, of course, all that sweet cash that you've hidden so cleverly behind the portrait of your aunt on the wall or in the refrigerator under the peas. Yeah, that'd be the first time he finds that. He knows that most successful burglaries take about 15 minutes from start to finish. He didn't mind those odds. You know, taking that cheesecake out of the refrigerator might be a step too far, but, you know, some of us, some of them might be willing to take that risk.

Too bad you don't have Simply Safe when it really, really counted, or too bad for him that you do have Simply Safe. They make it easy and affordable to have the best home security on the market. their state-of-the-art equipment, round-oclock monitoring, make SimplySafe the first name in the business.

Okay, so we have the debate tomorrow. I mean, who's going to miss that? Seriously. Who is going to miss that?

The first one is always, you know, the biggest ratings. Oh, yeah. This is the one. This is tomorrow. Yeah. It's here. That is terrifying. And are you, I'm not confident that Trump will will win.

I think people are always so, we have lowered the standards for Joe Biden so far that if he just, he shows up. Remember, a couple of weeks ago, we didn't know if he'd even show up. I would say half the people around this building have made the prediction to me that he's going to quote unquote get COVID and not make the debate. Oh, that's funny. He'll make it. He'll make it.

I think he'll make the first one. Yeah. And I mean, you know, one could pray that he, you know, bluffs and just. just and gets caught and just makes himself, it makes it clear to the American people how unclear he actually is. But I don't know if that's going to happen. I mean, if I were Donald Trump, if he just completely melts down and just is like,

what? And he starts looking like an old person really struggling. Donald Trump should just say, this makes me, I feel really uncomfortable right now. Because obviously, we're all going to hit a point to where we're not, our minds aren't functioning the way they used to. And the compassionate thing would be to call an end to this debate right now, but we'll continue. It's unfair what the Democrats are doing to this man. Yeah, unfair what the Democrats are doing. Look, but again, that is the thing we have to step back from because we've seen so many bad clips of Joe Biden over the past six months, right?

Where he's been out of sorts and he's done this terrible routine that happens over and over again. A couple of things to remember. He's usually talking for long periods of time. And those moments are usually small moments in the context of a longer speech or interview that you have the clip. just leak out to us on the right, and we only see those. There are plenty of moments where he looks relatively coherent in these interviews. And that's something to remember because the American people are only seeing, are expecting him to bumble his way through every answer.

He's not going to. The second part, we may, but I mean, if you're depending on that to win your election, you're in trouble. You're in trouble. Secondly, we watched Joe Biden in 12, what was it, 12 debates for the primary? Yeah. He's done this relatively recently. and in those debates, he never had a great performance.

He was never, I would say, even good. But there were some of those debates where he was just average. That's all he has to get. If he can hit average, it's going to be difficult to turn the narrative of this campaign around. You know, Trump is, he's trying to pull off something that is almost impossible, right? Trump? Yes. Oh, yeah.

He's starting from, here's a guy who, I mean, he came into office, right, in a very divided country, in a very close election, which he lost the popular vote and won the electoral vote. He comes into office. He's been a president with an incredibly steady approval rating, which has been in the low to mid-40s the entire time through four years. He is now- Under a relentless attack. Under a relentless attack from the media, four years of being attacked by the media. Then he comes in to the election year with a really good argument to say, look, the economy's really strong, things are going well.

You might not like my attitude, but look at the results. And then gets hit by a global pandemic that wipes the economy out. and has killed 200,000 plus people. Now we're at a plate where the economy still is recovering, but it's not all the way back yet. And he's trying to still fight this media against a president or a contender for president that the best case scenario is to be out of the limelight as much as possible, which he's been able to pull off because of the pandemic.

So now he goes into a race where he's in, you know, you can say what you want about the polls, but he's had a pretty consistent, he's been behind pretty consistent level for a while because people haven't been focusing on the election. This is his turn to say, look, now it's time to focus. Do you really want this guy running this response?

Look at him. And if he looks competent, there will be a lot of people who are on the fence right now who are thinking, I don't know if he's going to be able to make it for four years. You know, they want to return to what he, what they think he, think he will bring, which is stability, not knowing what he has built all around him.

Because the media has been covering for it the whole time. So his administration is the most radical administration ever in the history of America. If he's not in charge and pushes back on that, you're going to have the most radical administration in the history of the country. But most people don't know that. And so they'll just watch for his performance. And if he is competent and can hold his own, that might be. be enough for him in a debate to be declared the winner.

Joinhoney.com slash back. That's joinhoney.com slash back. Hello, America. Welcome to Monday.

I want to talk to you about the election, the debate, the poll numbers, but also the theft of the election, the newest, latest evidence of Democrats taking these ballots by bulk and doing what they want with the ballots. Is this even a trustworthy situation? And our latest evidence comes from Minnesota.

And everyone's favorite Congresswoman, Elon Omar, in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program. All right, I want you to get your financial house in order. I will tell you, I went up to the ranch this weekend and I met with the county sheriffs in both of the counties that I live by and and talked to them and I wasn't I wasn't alone which was amazing. There were about six guys that went with me that were from the town. I didn't even know them but from the town and talking to the sheriff and saying you know we support you whatever you need. What do we need to do to make

sure that no crazy business happens here in town. And he was talking about, I don't want any vigilante stuff. That's not what's going to happen. We're just going to have law and order, but believe me, we'll all stand together as a community. If you haven't done that, you really need to. I would like to urge you in the next week to call your sheriff in your county. Remember, the sheriff's, their only responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution and help the people that stand with the Constitution. They answer to the people and the Constitution. They don't answer to anybody else.

So our sheriffs are really going to be the ones that fix everything, or at least we will hold the line. But if you have the wrong sheriff, boy, make sure you know who you're voting for. And if they're not up for re-election, make sure that you go and tell them that you support them, if indeed you do. Find out where they stand on things, because that makes it real different.

difference. Anyway, as you're getting your house in order and you're doing all kinds of things, may I suggest you get your financial house in order? And a way to do that is a refi of your mortgage. Get your interest rate down. If you have over 4%, you're way overpaying. You could be paying like 2%. If you have a mortgage and you can refi, fold all of your high interest credit card debt and any high interest debt into that home mortgage without resetting the final payment, you, you You will, because of the interest rate, you are going to save so much money, you'll be able to pay those credit card debts off.

Yeah, she gets herself into trouble from time to time, but just like Lucy and Ethel, you know, this crazy kid has the Attorney General to watch her back, kind of like Ethel did with Lucy. So we are going to check in now with David Steinberg. He's an

investigative reporter. He has been following Elon Omar and had some information. On the on the on the on the actual of Yeah, I'm sorry I'm being talked to in my ear. I can't understand anyway David Steinberg is here. He has had information on Ilan Amar as I understand it Hasn't been able to share it because he didn't have the smoking gun. He had bullets.

And now may be willing to uncover some of those things that he had found on ballot harvesting fraud. It's legal to ballot harvest. I don't know why in Minnesota, but the fraud that goes along with it was exposed by Project Veritas this weekend. Welcome, David. Glenn, thanks for having me again. Absolutely.

So let me play the audio here from Project Veritas so people know what the new information is. Listen. Who is the one filling out the absentee ballots? Yeah, we didn't put in a... People who work with, like Ilhan Omar and other candidates work for them. Ilhan has a handful of people that work for her. They came to us to our apartments.

They tell us that this year they're going to vote for Ilhaar. They tell us that this year you're going to vote for Ilhaar. You don't go to absentee per centi, you're going to be able to stay home. You don't go nowhere you stay home, we will go to fill out for you. We have a plea ballot. When the chemist will come and get it, but you just no go know where you stay here.

They then fill out for us. They then fill out for us. They sign the ballot for us. They do it, but by themselves. And then they... Where do they pay the money? they pay the money. That's pretty stunning, David.

Yeah, it's pretty stunning. This has also been circulating, well, locally, it's been known since 2016, her first election. It was simply an open secret. Now, this reached me. And Scott Johnson at Powerline, I believe we've been hearing this since late 2018 regarding her having arranged a massive, massive vote buying campaign in her primary win in 2016, the general in 2016, which is when she was elected as a state representative. And then again, in 2018, it was the primary and the general when she was voted. to Congress. So this program is not new.

It was massive. I have hinted at it. I did discuss it with you briefly on the year, May. Right. And I said, look, this is everywhere. And the way I put it was, look, we are already talking about potentially the worst string of felonies committed by a congressperson in U.S. history. And that's before we get to the bad stuff.

and the bad stuff, which we were referencing, is this historically large vote buying campaign for several elections. So because voting is controlled by the state, do we need to have the Attorney General who is watching her back? It's Keith Ellison. Or can the federal government get involved in this? Good question. The answer is Keith Ellison can be bypassed here. It cannot be or can be. The charges are federal. Federal, okay.

The is not something that, this isn't a situation like Portland where you get arrested and released and not charged and no bail. If a candidate is caught bribing a voter for as little as a candy bar, you could be facing five years in person. And now we are talking about hundreds. perhaps thousands of votes over at least four elections. But you have to believe that those in the Somali community are going to be very apprehensive to talk to investigators. I mean, it's a scary, if this is truly going on, then it means that everything else that is linked to it, the threat of violence, et cetera, et cetera, if you, you know, blow the whistle here,

that that's also true. Well, sure. We've published plenty of evidence that her campaign, I mean, we have video evidence. Once again, what we have here, this person actually posted online, the video that O'Keefe has posted, he was bragging about what he was doing,

just posted it online, it was out there. That's the same thing we had back in 2016 when Alpha News, Minnesota, of course, posted a video taken at an Ilhan campaign event. We're talking about whoever it was in the community, who had leaked the news of her fraudulent marriage. They had to hunt that person down and get them out of the community. And this was at her campaign posted on their Facebook.

The person who actually recorded that video, his name was Guadhachi, the time for a triple stabbing in Ohio. And he was out of state. You know, he lived in Ohio. He was now in Minnesota running or co-running her intimidation campaign. That's right. I remember that.

The same guy, he's running this co-intimitation campaign. He's going door to door, knocking on doors, allegedly saying, we want to know that you're going to keep your mouth quiet. If I mark down here that you gave us $25, we'll know we can trust you. So he's running a protection racket. We also have them, have talk of them, simply running a vote buying campaign where they have bags of money going out, organized by Ali Ise.

He was the campaign manager, spread among 11 different building managers for these 11, these 11 towers that mostly housed the Somali refugees in Cedar Riverside. the money was getting spread around to each of them. It was simply, if you show up or get in this van and we drive you down and vote, we'll give you a set amount. I've heard the amount of 50 for the primary and 125 for the general. So, David, is anyone going to look into this?

Well, this was given to the FBI, I can confirm earlier this year. people in again, again, remember, giving false information to the FBI is a felony in itself. We had locals who were willing to give this information face to face to the FBI early this year regarding these four prior elections. Now, we did not have any concrete evidence. All we had was several people confirming this. Now, again, early this year, after speaking, with the FBI, someone said, you know, let's call James O'Keefe. Get him down here, see if he can patch them in the act this year. And as we can see, he was successful. So we now have our foot in the door with proof of her doing it this year, we can go back and look at 2016 and 2018. I feel

very confident now about this. Also, just last night, O'Keefe spoke with the Hennepin County attorney's office. So he said, what you have on that tape is illegal. And we're are looking into it. So it's a great start. Let me, let me play a little bit more of the, the tape. This is the ballast harvester, what is it, Leibn Mohamed, where he is on social media, making a video here about the stack of absentee ballots in his car that he collected for the campaign of a Democrat.

Listen. Numbers don't like. Numbers don't like. He says all these absentee ballots Salcai all right. He says all these absentee ballots, can't you see they're all here. My car is full of them.

Today I have 300 ballots for Jamal. Is that, is that enough? Because really, he could have 300 ballots for Jamal just because he was knocking on doors, which is called ballot harvesting. which is fine, at least in Minnesota, I don't think it's fine, but he could just go and get the ballots from people that were, you know, signing them of their own volition.

Well, that's not exactly correct. It is fine to collect three ballots, 300, according to Minnesota law. Ah. So it is not fine. It is already illegal. Of course, we've got folks like Mark Elias, that Perkins-Cooey, election law attorney, he has led the vote-by-mail suits, have been, I believe, three dozen lawsuits to get vote-by-mail, ballot harvesting, the signature law to get that relaxed, to get everything relaxed,

to have votes be able to count one, two weeks after election day. That's Mark Elias. He's the one who's been suing every state to make what you're seeing in that video legal, not the fact that he's purchasing votes, but to make harvesting 300 ballots just going door to door like that legal. It's an uphill fight across the country in every state. It is an absolute crisis at this point, and it all should have been avoided. They've been doing this since March of early this year. You'll remember the moment the coronavirus lockdown started to begin, guys like Mark Elias and the Democratic Party immediately, millions and millions of dollars came out of nowhere and they started these suits all over the country to implement vote by mail and to relax all these other laws. Now, vote by mail has never, ever been implemented in eight months.

March until November. The states that do have it and do a fairly decent job of it, it took them several years of refinement and lawsuits and refinement and process refinement. He was trying to do it in eight months. They knew from the start this was going to be a disaster. We now have on camera just how big of a disaster we're going to face in November. David, thank you very much.

David Steinberg, investigative reporter covering the news that came out from Project Veritas. this weekend about ballot harvesting fraud in Minnesota. People are risking, literally risking their life to bring information out. You're not going to see this information in the mainstream media. It's important for you to share these things with your friends who are still undecided or, you know, are just normal people that maybe aren't hearing things. People are not hearing the truth because they're only watching one side.

or the other. Thank you very much. David, appreciate it. All right. I want to talk to you about rec tech. When you're in the kitchen, slave and away, we're a hot stove all the time, just to make something that your kids are probably going to complain about anyway, and they say, can I just have chicken nuggets instead? Why not stand outside when it's starting to cool now and stand over a rec tech and cook on a rec tech? You don't have to stand out there, but it's a good excuse to get away from the kids who are crying and screaming and fighting all the time. You just stand outside.

You don't have to. You can go inside. You can go anywhere. You can go to the store and you can still control your rec tech because it has smart grill technology. So grilling on your time the way you want, it's the last grill you're going to ever want to buy. I want you to look at rec tech. I want you to go to their website and I want you to A, B, compare them. The reason why they can keep this at a competitive price with the best on the market is because there's no middleman.

You buy them directly from them. So you just look at the stats of the best out on the market and then compare it to a R-T-E-T-E-Q. R-E-C-T-E-Q.com. R-E-C-T-E-Q-C-E-K-T-E-K-T-C-T-E-C-T-C-T-E-C-T-E-T-SAT. So all these Democrat, these Democratic senators are refusing to meet with Amy Comey-Barrant. That is amazing. Chuck Schumer, Richard Blumenthal, you know, all the people that you would expect. But still, they won't meet. They're not going to, they're not going to even talk to her.

I'd say that it's because you meet someone and they're nice and intelligent. You might like them. And then it's harder to call them Satan. But that improved. I don't think Richard Blumenthal or Chuck Schumer or any of these people have a problem saying whatever to somebody's face and then turning around and knifing him in the back. Right. that implies that they have a soul.

Yeah. And that's it. And that's wrong to do. And that's why I don't think you should retract that. No, I just, that's why I didn't bring it up. I, I just,

that was my initial incentive. Well, maybe because they know what they're going to have to do is something horrific to another human being. They believe it's their duty that they have to go out there and call her gang rapist or gang rapist or whatever it is. And they're going to come out and, and do that and you don't want to necessarily have a personal relationship with

them. But that implies that they have a soul, that they would have, feelings that they would feel bad about assassinating someone's character and they don't. Not at all. No concern about that whatsoever. There are terrible, terrible human beings. They really don't care about the person in the middle.

The average Democrat. They really don't care about them. They're sending, this is done to send a message to the left that we're doing everything we can to stop this. It's a weird. It's kind of a weird idea, though. like what is the electoral benefit here for them? To me, it would make a lot more sense if they went out there and looked at the nominee honestly

and said, you know what, we don't think she's appropriate. I agree. Right? But like, and then you come to your audience and say, look, we voted against her and they had the votes and that's why you need to keep us in office. That's right. If you just look totally rational, you could have been meeting in your little, you know, secret chambers and say, look, none of us, we hate her.

We call her all kinds of name. Everybody go out and be really, really kind. just say, we're going to take a really open-minded look at this. That would be what a normal person would do. An evil politician would also then be conspiring with all of their other politicians to knife her in the back. But that's what I think people want. Just listen to her, meet her, talk to her.

But you don't vote on. Treat her fairly. That's it. That's what I think is also going to be the problem with this election. Americans don't, Americans would abide by an election that went to Biden or to Trump if we weren't being convinced that it was going to be stolen. You know, those are for the people on the left. They're being convinced that Donald Trump's going to steal it. But we actually have the evidence of the Democrats trying to steal it.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Fair fight is all really that America wants, just a fair fight. Who's our sponsor this half hour, Sarah? I want to talk to you about real estate agents. I trust.com.

It'll be me and Pat and Stu. also I think we have Dave Rubin joining us as well as well as Steve Dayce. Steve's with us now. Hi, Steve. Morning guys. If you don't know who Steve Dayce is, he's a guy who follows me on our network. He is really, really good, especially when it comes to logic and poll numbers. He's a lot like Stu.

But he also has the experience of running campaigns or being part of campaigns in the past. So he has a different look. We're talking about the debate tomorrow, Steve. How would you go in and want us to look at this going in? How should America be looking at this going in? Well, as someone who's been on a debate prep team for a presidential candidate, you know, a lot of this and has done the spin room afterwards, you know, Glenn, a lot of this is based off expectations.

You know, we're at the point now that it's an expectations game. And the thing that I am very concerned about, and I'm saying it on my show on The Blaze for the last month or two, is it just seems like we are artificially lowering the expectations for the opposition here. It's to consider yourself in favor of Trump and wanting Biden to lose. And I think it's a really dangerous strategy always in just about any endeavor. there's a reason why football coaches at their press conferences each week, oh boy and talking about how bad their team sucks, when you are artificially lowering the expectations of your opposition at this point, if Joe Biden does not look up at the sky and say this is a big one, Alice, and breathes,

it's going to be called a win. And I think that is what I am concerned about going into tomorrow night. So he's, when you watch him, have you watched him enough lately? I mean, we see all the clips, Stu and I were talking about this earlier. You see all the clips of him. and he at times just looks horrible. But there's a lot of speeches and things that he's doing where he doesn't look like that. Do you think he can pull this off for two hours?

I think it's possible. He sort of did against Bernie Sanders right before everything shut down the final debate in the Democratic primary. That was six months ago or more than six months ago now. He also was permitted because of all the shutdowns because, frankly, I think the administration was too slow and aggressively pushing reopening. He, you know, for somebody who's older, who already clearly has metal capacity issues, the wear and tear of an election, remember Hillary's fainting spell in 2016, the daily campaigning, the travel, the hours that these people log at any age, but particularly his, and with this obvious diminished mental capacity, there'd be a lot more tread on those tires

in a normal campaign. He has been permitted to essentially choose spots to speak, which makes the clips where he can, even more damning, probably. But he's, but he's, been essentially permitted to save up for this moment. And I think what was going to happen, Glenn, is that if they did not have a strong convention and we did not see good economic news and the polls narrowing, then I don't think we would have had any debates. I think Biden would have said, well, you know, I'll show up when Trump shows up with his tax returns or some other cockamamian excuse. He would have absorbed some hit, but he would have had enough of elite to absorb it. It's too close now. He has to show up. If tonight he shows or tomorrow night, he shows up and he's

cognizant and alert, then I don't believe you'll have the rest of the debates. I agree. I agree. What does Trump need to do? He needs to make his case to the American people. I think the big trap that the president needs to avoid falling into is he is at his best in the hand-to-hand combat and in a battle of personalities. If I'm Joe Biden, I want to provoke Trump right away. I want to create a galvanizing moment for me in the opening 15 minutes, anticipating that I may wear. down over the final 30. So I want to produce some moment where Trump looks like he's bullying me. I get to say, come on, man, let's do some push-ups. Everybody laughs and put people at ease.

I want to provoke Trump. Trump, I think, needs to avoid the trap of looking like he is bullying Joe Biden, needs to make his case directly to the American people. Prior to March 12th of this year, he had a very strong case for reelection. The job numbers last month, he's almost below the unemployment rate that Obama got reelected on in 2012. You're looking at perhaps an over 30% increase in GDP here for the third quarter. We should get those numbers right before the election the last week of October. So he has a case to make. He needs to make his case unfettered around the mainstream media narrative directly

to the 100 plus million people that are watching tomorrow and actually let Joe Biden rise and fall on his own as much as possible. and not seeing like he is pestering him or needling him or bullying him. Why do you think he keeps asking for a drug test? I think it's to see if he taking anything that indicates that he has cognitive disability issues, any sort of artificial means of staying alert. I mean, he's calling these campaign days at noon pretty much every day, and they've been trying to say it's for debate prep.

Well, it's been debate prep since about Labor Day. Yeah. So I think it probably has something to do with that. But this is, again, where you're the incumbent president. If we're sitting here in the, see, I think he is in a much stronger position than the, the public polling, which I just don't buy when I actually go, I mean, the ABC is Washington Post poll has a 21 point lead for Biden among its independence. Glenn, all, in the last seven elections, the biggest blowout of the last seven, Obama won independence by eight. That's never happened. happening. He's winning by 21 points with independence, okay? But the president needs to make that case. And so I think he's in a much stronger position, relying on, well, my opponent has dementia

and can't do the job. You've been the president for four years. You need to make your affirmative case to the American people. All right. I want to get you and Stu into a nerd fight. because Stu is very concerned because of the polls. And you seem to me like, ah, this is great. This is going to be fine. I don't know if you're that far apart from each other, but I want a nerd fight.

So tell Stu why you're not buying the polls. Because they may have the right conclusion, but my seventh grade math teacher in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr. Judavix used to tell me, I can go to a calculator and get the right equation answer. I need you to show your work. Their methodology, when they show their work, it's not even anemic, it's insulting.

It's multiple simultaneous things that cannot be true that Donald Trump is losing 11 points of evangelicals, but we'll get 39% of Hispanics. It's that he's losing independence by 20 points. When no one's won them by 8 in the biggest blowout in our current electoral college environment, that we're going to see a drop, a massive drop of white working class, or then we're going to see a massive increase of it in the Monmouth poll recently. 70% of voters were going to be white non-college graduates, which Trump won pretty convincingly four years ago, but he's still going to lose.

It tells me they're not entirely sure. There's a couple of options. This is whole cloth a setup in order to justify calling the election illegitimate if he wins and say, well, we had all this data, he must have stolen it. Or they're pinning the tail on the donkey here with a blindfold. trying to figure out what the turnout of the actual electorate is going to be. It's one or the other. And that's terrifying, honestly, if they're that, because you could tell it they were, they were very, the whole education difference when they were not correcting for education in 2016. It was this sort

of consensus mistake they made last time that they're trying to correct, but it doesn't seem like they're uniformly able to correct it in any rational way. I mean, I don't, I, this is all stuff that, some of the stuff that we've, that Steve mentioned, we've talked about on the air. And I think there's been really bizarre things where if look if Donald Trump wins 39% of Hispanics he's winning the election full stop like there's no way he could lose in that scenario I don't think I mean unless something I'm you know something I'm really missing and there's other polls that show him at 18 and 20% of African American votes if he win if that's real you know he's going to win the election so but you're right I've seen some of those polls as well so I I I

I hesitate to look at one individual but I've seen seen them in several. So I, again, like, I think you got to look at these things as a whole and, and do the averaging sort of thing where you look at... Every time I talk to you, I want to kill myself. Every time I talk to me, every time I talk to you, you make really good case. Like, look, these poll numbers are... That is legitimately exactly what my wife put on our last anniversary card.

Right? Every time I talk to you, I want to kill myself. That's exactly what you said. Happy anniversary. So, and every time I talk to Steve, I feel like, oh, okay, this is going to go well. Which is odd. Normally I'm the grim ring. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. So I'd like you two to work it out because I don't think you, this is, what he just said is, it shows that the polls are, you can't trust the polls. For whatever reason, you can't trust the polls. And you've been telling me you got to trust the polls. I mean, I don't think you universally trust the polls. I mean, you can look at them.

You know, again, I think it's always better to average polls than to take individual polls. I think that's a good, that's a good. a good safety tip. And I think, you know, you look at them, generally speaking, it's been a pretty consistent lead for Biden. That being said, I think a lot of that has to do with people have not been in election mode. They haven't been thinking about this like they have every other election we've ever been through. They've been in another world thinking about other things. I'm thinking about rope. I'm saying this is a positive for Trump. I'm saying that like, I mean, but if that's your positive, the lead is misleading. The lead is misleading, right? Like, I think you could look at this and say he's got plenty of opportunities here. Three high

profile nights, at the very least, to be able to narrow this. I do think that, you know, election held today, I'd be very, very nervous. I would not think that Trump was going to win if the election was held today. However, here's an interesting fact, not held today. So it doesn't make any difference what would happen if it was up today. So, Steve,

show me how he can win. Like, when I talked to Stu last Friday, he was like, you know, he needs every white person ever born and then some to be able to win. But because the numbers, the demographics are against. him. Just if he just had the same number of people vote for him as they did last time, he loses. I mean, isn't it a pretty Herculean task for him to pull off?

We've only had in the two-party era, guys, when we weren't at World War I or World War II, we've only had one president ever when re-election who didn't get more electoral college votes and more popular votes than he did to get elected. And that was Barack Obama in 2012. So, historically, presidents win re-election all time in America, 70% of the time. And then since we went to a two-party system post- Civil War, only one time, non-World War I or World War II did a president win reelection without having to expand his base. So that's really not unique. I actually think the president in the electoral college is in a stronger position now than he was at this point four years ago heading into the debates. I think really there's only 69 contested, nice, 69 contested electoral college

votes that are up between now and November the 3rd. That's it. I think everything else is pretty much spoken for, and those are all in states that Trump won in 2016. I think now it just comes down to, can he defend that territory? And then it comes down to a place like a Nevada, you know, where the casinos have been shut down all year. They've mildly reopened. There's been thousands of layoffs. there, a lot of union employees have left that state. Remember, Trump only lost that state by 20,000 votes in 2016.

So those are some of the local anecdotal notes that are on the ground. I think what he needs is on Friday, this jobs report, no president has ever been reelected if the jobs report was the last one before his election was higher than it was

the month before. They've all lost. So he needs that unemployment number to continue to stay about where it was. in September or come down. But that GDP report at the end of October, I think that could be an October surprise. But I think on Tuesday night, he really needs to make a strong presidential case to the American people and let Joe Biden largely rise and fall on his own. The 69 electoral votes, where are they? Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Minnesota, those are most of the 69 votes. See, I think Florida is trending strongly for Trump.

Yeah. I think North Carolina has already had kind of, the Democrats kind of had their moment. Recent polling has trended in his direction, and I think the demographics in that state trend in his direction. He overperformed his polling there. So I'm counting that as a lean Republican. I don't believe Georgia is a massive battleground state. I have that as a lean Republican. And I think, I think Texas is a lean Republican now as well. So I think it's those states primarily are making up the 69 up for grabs, electoral college votes. And those Rust Belt states, I think if the election were today, I'd have no idea what happened because I think the amount of cheating there is going to be extraordinary. I agree. I agree.

And the cheating, you wouldn't think that the cheating really matters in states like California, but they're going to make a case that he didn't win the popular vote. And that will change things.
