Tonight, Glenn revealed last week the left's calls for civil war. Now, he exposes their playbook detail. that could unleash a revolution. One. He's talking like a tin pot dictator. We see double-digit leads for Joe Biden. By one.

The president knows he can't win in November with a majority of votes. Glenn shows the evidence we can't ignore. Watch Civil War Part 2. Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern, only at blazedtiv.com slash Glenn. You know, they say that the middle episode of a serial is really not the best episode. this one is really good.

Part two of Civil War. We break it down and show you exactly what's going on with the proof and the evidence. It's quite stunning. We'll talk about that more in just a second. But these are not the actions of people who are confident in their win. It's just not the action of people who believe they're going to win. In Florida, it appears that the Democrats and Michael Bloomberg are actually paying people's restitution and fines off.

There's a Florida law that was passed that you get your rights back once you've served your term and once you've made everything right, you get your rights back to vote. I have no problem with that. However, that includes the fines and restitution. If you haven't made restitution, if you haven't paid the fine, then you're not done. And I'm sorry that, you know, it looks like you're not going to be able to vote this time, but you haven't made restitution. So you haven't paid your debt to society. Well, the Bloomberg people and the Democrats decided that this is a voting block that they think will go 95% for Joe Biden.

And so Bloomberg raised $16 million and is paying off everybody's fines and restitution. can't be true. Congressman Matt Gates is with us from Florida, the author of a new book called Firebrand, dispatches from the front lines of the MAGA Revolution. Matt, do I have this story right? Is this true? I have to correct you on one fact, Glenn.

Okay. He's not paying everybody's restitution. They're only paying restitution for a targeted group of felons who are black or Hispanic, who are already registered to vote and who finds a restitution less than $1,500. So they have targeted a specific group of people by race and by likelihood to influence the outcome of the election. So if you're a white felon, don't expect Michael Bloomberg to show up and bail you out. This is racial electioneering, and it does have a bribery component.

I'll walk you through the state statute. I was criminal justice chairman in the state legislature. Chapter 104 in Florida statutes makes it very clear that it is a corrupt influence on voting. It is a third-degree felony if you directly or indirectly give or promise to give anything of value to another intending to thereby influence that person or another in casting his or her vote. So clearly when you go and pay off somebody's debts, it is a thing of value. I mean, if you paid off somebody's home loan or their credit card debt or their auto loan, And I mean, here, this is an obligation.

It impacts, you know, your life. And so to alleviate that obligation for a specific group of people because they're voting strikes me as a violation of this statute. I spoke to the state attorney general last night. She said she's on it. So, Matt, this is crazy what is being done all over the country. And if the Republicans just did this one thing, everybody would be screaming. electioneering and rightly so that it would be outraged. They are rigging this election everywhere and anywhere they can. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Never.

Well, they always accuse us to the stuff that they're doing. You know, when the Clinton Foundation was the money laundering machine for all this foreign money in our elections, they had to go and accuse Donald Trump of being an agent of the Russian government without evidence. And now what I think they're trying to do with mail-in voting, with this universal balloting, where there's going to be millions of ballots all over this country, very little accountability over them. They're trying to extend out the uncertainty of the election because I think they all know that Donald Trump is going to win Election Day. And so while they're doing all these things to undermine the election, like they're accusing us of trying to block people from voting. No, we just think the rules ought to be the same for everybody, right? No matter what your ethnic background is, no matter what your care is to vote or not vote, we just think the rules about the restoration of rights should apply to all Floridians equally. And when you get into this kind of very specific exchange of something for value, and by the way, the smoking gun is the memo that the Bloomberg team wrote to raise money for the project where they admit that this is the objective. And here's the other thing they admit, Glenn, and you guys, to this in your opening, they admit that it's easier to go and buy votes than to ever try to

motivate people around the candidacy of Joe Biden, that like a persuasion effort to Joe Biden is less likely to bear fruit than this bribery racket. So, Matt, I don't know what it feels like in Florida or in Washington, but here in Texas, in Texas, you can't find a gun at a gun store. I mean, it is, you can't find ammunition. And I've talked to a couple of people that run, you know, gun stores and, and, and, uh, and shooting ranges. And they all say the same thing. One shooting range told me, we've sadly become the, uh, Black Lives Matter and, Antifa shooting range. They show up a couple of days a week and they're training.

And we know what they're doing. And, uh, the rest of them have said, everybody is coming in buying guns and training because they feel we are going. to fall into massive chaos or a civil war. And I am having a harder and harder time believing that's not true with every day that passes because we are now talking about a group of people that believe in America, fair play and the Constitution or not. Well, and I mean, look, I have been to places on the planet Earth where political violence is absolutely. necessary. America is not one of those places. I reject violence as a part of our politics. So do I. Now, you know, that said, like, you know, you look at the way Democrats accuse Trump

four years of undermining institutions. And yet here, they're creating less certainty with our elections. They're talking about impeaching the attorney general just so that they can procedurally jam the Senate and stop the constitutional seating of a Supreme Court justice. And oh, by the way, on the to the court, talking about going back to FDR's court-packing strategy. I mean, the violence that they're doing to our institutions dwarfs anything they ever accused Donald Trump of. And, you know, I just remember, like, when we all used to vote in one line at City Hall on Election Day, you knew who won by, like, 8 or 9 o'clock at night.

And if it was really close, you might have to wait up until midnight. The process Democrats are setting up now is one where there will be uncertainty, potentially, for weeks. And I think it is reasonable for Americans to wonder what the mob, what the Antifa, you know, bugs will be doing during that period of time. Well, they've already said.

I mean, they're war gaming all of this stuff. And nobody that I have talked to said, I'm going to go out with my gunning. They are all saying I will protect my home. You come onto my property with any of this crap. I mean, that's, that's where people are right now, is

they want somebody in Washington, and I think Donald Trump is doing a good job. I mean, I think he's doing an exceptional job, especially with the things that he's been doing lately with critical race theory. But in your book, you are saying, you know, this is an invitation to join the front lines of our fight. Are you kidding me? It's like the Russian front. Why would anyone want to go to Washington and be involved?

How do you stay optimistic? Look, this is still a great country. still the greatest country that's ever existed. And I am not going to be a part of the generation that allows America to turn into a place of shame or disappointment. And this, this revolution that the president is leading, I think has realigned our politics on trade, on immigration, on, you know, on frankly war and peace. I'm not one of these forever war guys. I think our country is stronger when our bravest and most patriotic Americans are here building up our country, not chasing some mirage of democracy and some, you know, some hell whole country,

you know, half a world away. And so I think that that vision of America first and our people first is one that needs to endure beyond the Trump presidency. I'm one of the younger leaders in the Congress. And so I'm sharing with folks that there is an optimistic, I think, forward-leaning populism that can certainly allow us to meet our greatest challenges. Do you believe that people like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, do you believe that they believe these things? I mean, it was one thing to say that we really strongly disagreed and they were going another direction, you know, for the solutions. But it is clear now that the Democratic Party is an anti-American or anti-American establishment, if you will, the meaning the Constitution and things like that.

They will do anything to win and have power. Do they actually believe this? Where is their American spirit gone? Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are so hungry for power. They will ride the wave of the woketopians wherever it takes them. And, you know, that is a very dangerous game for them to play. I think it's unpatriotic for our country, for leaders of either party, to sort of like root for America's failure and for them to say that, you know,

to embrace this critical race theory nonsense where like we're just an intractably racist country and we can never escape our history. Man, like humans since the beginning of time have been improved in a kinder way. But this notion that we have to be ashamed of our nation is one that the Democrats embrace at their peril. And there are some voices over there that are. that are saying Michigan is out there saying, look, she's starting to see these suburban moms start to be concerned about safety on their streets by the ground without being engulfed in

some event of arson that some local mayor is going to call a peaceful protest. But this isn't really, this one is not even about safety. It's not about the economy. It's not even about Donald Trump or Joe Biden. This really is about the survival of the institutions and the, and the things that we hold dear. If you vote for Donald Trump, we're going to be a constitutional country.

If you vote for Joe Biden, because of the team he has around him and the things that they have endorsed, I don't see the country lasting through a crisis and coming out the other side, stronger constitutionally. Well, I mean, the question is,

as they're dismantling the things that have made the country great, will Joe Biden even notice? I mean, will he even know what's up? I mean, we see a guy, I've never seen a less energetic campaign for, like, city council. This guy's running for president, and he's unwilling to, like, engage the American people around any set of ideas. And he spends more time sniping at Bernie, I guess, than he does thinking about a positive vision for the country. And I think that the, in these final, you know, tens of days that we have, the split screen of, you know, Biden from his Delaware basement and Donald Trump out there at these airport rallies, you know, showing that love of country, that commitment to success and prosperity, unapologetically wanting our nation

and our people to be richer, to see better wages, better jobs, more productivity. I think that's the kind of energy that turns people out in these states and the pollsters have been proven wrong before. I think if Donald Trump is in like, you know, two to four point range in these states, you can almost put them in the back for him because there is such an enthusiasm among his voters to get out there.

I think that enthusiasm doesn't exist with Biden, obviously, because you got Michael Bloomberg out there trying to sell out cash for votes instead of using a message like our current president does. So the last question, and I've got to run, and I know you have to run. The

Florida does have an attorney general that is a Soros, attorney general, right? Right? Okay, good. Oh, we got a lot. Yeah, all right, good. I'm looking forward to seeing how this proceeds. Congressman Matt Gates, thank you so much.

And please let us know what happens as we'll follow this story along with you. Matt Gates, the author of Firebrand, dispatches from the front lines of the MAGA revolution. All right, our sponsor, this half hour, is relief factor. Paul's a guy who really likes to ride his bike. He rides to and from work to the grocery store, everybody, or everywhere.

And, you know, personally, I mean, that's why they invented cars, Paul. But if that's what you like to do, I mean, that's, I know a guy who's 90 and he is in great shape. And he rides his bike every day. He starts to have problems like Paul did with knee pain. you know, that's no good. I mean, you take away the joy in life. Thankfully, Paul listens to this program. He heard me talking about relief factor when he started to really have joint pain

and he thought I'm not going to be able to ride my bike anymore. He decided to give it a try. What did he have to lose other than his pain? Happy to report that Paul is out there somewhere right now, blocking traffic on his bike. He got his life back and so can you. Relief factor, not a drug. Developed by doctors. 70% of the people who try it, go on to buy more because it works.

Tonight, at 9 p.m. Part 2, the Civil War, the left's revolution playbook, exposed. Tonight, and yes, you don't have to watch the first episode to understand the second one. Tonight, we are going to show you that revolutions don't happen overnight. The color revolution that appears to be underway right now in America is no exception.

And I really truly believe that they weren't going down this road, but they panicked when Hillary Clinton lost the election. They expected Hillary Clinton to win, and they would have been able to sew this thing up. and Donald Trump is not playing ball. He's not for a global government or anything else. He's not for a deep state. So what do they do? For the left, the 2020 election was not a matter of finding a better candidate and winning the hearts and minds of the Americans

with old-fashioned things like ideas and vision, you know. That leaves too much to chance. Trump derangement syndrome means it hardly matters who the Democratic candidate is, as long as he or she has a pulse. That person can be Joe Biden. It doesn't matter. It could be a dog.

Last week, I showed you the seven pillars written by a former U.S. diplomat that are the conditions that must be in place and are the steps for successful color revolution, which is something the State Department fomented all around the globe. The Clinton and Obama State Department. I began showing you how Democrats are creating these conditions right now. They seem to be following exactly the same seven pillars, the playbook that they used in Eastern Europe, and you will see it tonight. I'm going to show you all the evidence. I'm going to go through the first four steps of the seven. And I'm going to zoom in and show you how they work and what the end goal is.

I'm also going to reveal one of the architects of the playbook, a color revolution specialist, a former ambassador, a former Obama administration official, who is one of the key masterminds of this revolution. You'll see how deeply this person is involved. You don't want to miss it. Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern only on blazedtv.com slash Glenn. You must know the truth if you're going to be able to stand. We have Ted Cruz coming on in just a few minutes.

apparently Facebook back down or I don't know exactly what happened yesterday, but some good news we told you yesterday that the blaze had been demonetized and also our numbers had been crushed. They just shut us off. I'll wait and pass judgment when I actually see the numbers next week. But we are in danger, not just us, but every host that you listen to, that you trust. We are all in danger in the next five to six weeks. Soon as this election happens, they are going to accuse us of lying about the election.

If we bring up anything that says, wait a minute, that's cheating over there. Or you can't do that. They've already said anyone who is causing trouble is going to be deplatform. If you will. This is the Glenn Beck program. American financing NMLS-182334

www. nmLS consumer access.org. All right, we're facing a crucial moment in American history. If the Democrats win the presidential election, especially if they regain the Senate and retain the House, what do you think the economy is going to look like over the next few years? I don't see it getting better. Right now, you need to be thinking to yourself, what is the most financially responsible decision I can make?

So I can be prepared for whatever is coming down the pike. If you are a homeowner, one of the most responsible things you can do right now is consider refinancing your mortgage with American financing. If you're unsure whether you need to refinance or even can refinance, this message is for you. It's estimated at least 7 million homeowners in the U.S. could save at least $300 a month and two and a half more could save $500 or more. That's an awful lot of money for a lot of people. invest a little bit of time today and call American Financing.

Tonight, the Civil War, the left's revolutionary playbook exposed, part two, is on blazedtv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. Casket of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just has arrived at the Supreme Court to lay in state in the Supreme Court. We have Mike Lee coming up in just a second and on the phone with us now, Senator Ted Cruz from the great state of Texas, to talk about the Supreme Court and the election. Welcome to the program. To be with you. Thank you. So let's start with the Supreme Court. I've never seen anything. like this, Ted, they are

threatening all of our institutions and throwing a temper tantrum and you don't give in to the kid who's kicking and screaming in the grocery store floor or you are in real trouble. Exactly right. Even before this vacancy,

the hard left was in a rage. They were rioting in the streets. They were setting fires. They were attacking people. And with this vacancy, if it's possible, I think the rage and anger we're saying from them. Neitherby. But the Republican majority to do our job and confirm a strong constitutionalist to the court.

That's why the American people elected us. So the three people that we know of, is there a favorite of yours? Is there something we should be looking for from these three? Well, there's men I'm behind Judge Barrett. on Washington, I'd say the betting on its favorite right now. And, you know, I fully expect if she's the nominee that we will see Democrats reprise the shameful treatment of her that they did when she was nominated the Court of Appeals, and went after her, and when after her fate, you'll recall Senator Feinstein saying that

the dogma is strong with the people of faith. heard as a judge or in public office. And I got to say that was a dark day for the Senate in the coming weeks as they go after whichever nominee the president puts forward. So Newsweek and Reuters published a story saying that the sect that she belongs to was the inspiration for The Handmaid's Tale. They corrected it, but didn't pull the story of the corrections down at the bottom of the story. This is an outrageous, outrageous smear, not only on her, but Catholics and everybody who is a member of faith. Well, and we're saying more and more today's Democratic Party has faith, whether Catholics or evangelicals or Mormons or anyone who, or Orthodox Jews, anyone who takes their faith in today's Democratic Party is that sort of

like a social club membership. If it's just actually believe that doesn't influence your life, that doesn't mean much to you, that's okay. But if you actually have the temerity to believe the godstop, set in their view, that is not an acceptable view. Ted, tell me if I'm right on this. The way I read the founding documents, no one should be afraid of a Supreme Court justice being appointed if we were doing it the way we're supposed to do. Neither side, because the justices should surprise us sometimes, should be like,

huh, okay, well, they read it that way, but we shouldn't be in lockstep because of a Republican or Democrat, right? They're just supposed to interpret, not make law. The judiciary as controversies, and for a long time, the court largely stayed within that lane. in the 1960s where you had the activists left with their radical policy agenda. So they decided instead to just try to get five unelected judges. And that remains their preferred route

because the voters still don't like radical leftist ideas. And those philosopher kings, they are quite using their power and dictating far left ideas. When we're looking at these justices, and I know you have been instrumental in the federal judges, and I mean, you have done amazing work behind the scenes that not enough people know about to make sure that our judges are the right judges. When you look at these, do you see any of them having a shot of turning out to be Justice Roberts?

Yes. President Trump's nominees have been overall very strong. They have been, he's nominated and the Senate has confirmed over 200 new federal judges. And the overall caliber of them is stronger, is more conservative, it's more constitutionalists than any Republican in our lifetime. That being said, I was concerned when Justice Kavanaugh was nominated. Yeah. I urge the president not to do so. I believe the right way to make nominations.

You know, I've got a book that is coming out next week on exactly this topic. It's called One Vote Away, How a Single Supreme Court Seat can change history. And in that book, each chapter addresses a different constitutional liberty. And there's a chapter on free speech. There's a chapter of religious liberty, sovereignty, and there's a chapter on judges and justices who will be faithful to go through the history of Republican appointees, starting with Eisenhower. Democrats bat nearly 1,000, almost every one of their nominees does exactly what the left wants.

Republicans barely break 500. Yeah. And here's the pattern, Glenn. Here's what we need to look for. Where we get it right, the businesses that stay faithful to their own, Antichenskulloch, Clarence, Thomas, and Alito, Ronald Boss, Chief Justice William Rehnquist. every one of them they had defended constitutionalist positions

they had defended conservative principles and they had paid a price they'd been excoriated in the press the pattern that has worked the pattern that hasn't worked is where someone felt nominee someone doesn't have a record but some Republicans think they're being clever

and they think wink wink nod trust me that always works as a disaster so with President Trump for both of the vacancies the person I urged him to nominate was Senator Mike Lee. The reason, I think Mike is the best nominee because I am certain I am 100% that Mike would spend 50 years being faithful to the Constitution and honoring his oath. And I know that because I've seen him get punched in the face repeatedly, figuratively, for doing exactly that. And if that steadfastness, that's what we'll get. It's funny because talking to Mike, that's what he says about you.

You know, he's, I think that's maybe, maybe you guys got to get on the same page and pick one because I think you're both kind of recommending the other one for the same exact reason. Do you have concern with, with Barrett or Lagoa or rushing at all that they don't have the record? I don't care about being conservative. I care about being a constitutionalist, a strict, read it like it was written, constitutional. I hope that with all three of them, I would prefer longer and stronger record. I would prefer more years to look to. For both of those seats, I urge the president to appoint Mike Lee. As you know, both Mike and I are on President Trump's short list of nominees.

I have told the president that I don't want the job, that I feel there is a greater need in the political arena, federal judge, I'd stay out of political fights, I'd stay out of policy fights, I'd honor my own. I don't want to stay out of those, the political fights. You know, if you want to know why I don't want to be a judge right now is a perfect example, because we've got World War III and the Senate to confirm the president's nominee before election day, and this is a fight. We need leaders right now. We need leaders. That's what I'm doing. So I know you'll support. I'm going to try it one more time and feel free just to say, shut up, Glenn. I know you'll support all of them. Is there a favorite that we should be rooting for

from Ted Cruz? You know, I'm not going to lobby the president publicly. I've had conversations with him. Okay. I'm going to keep those conversations private. Okay. That's another word, shut up, Glenn. It's just their different forms to make a different point. Yeah, yeah, I know. I have publicly made the case for Mike Lee, but the president has said he's going to nominate a woman. And I got to tell you, I went to Mike and said, listen, I really think it'd be a mistake for you to fly to Sweden and get the operation. That would be going too far. I don't. I don't think it's going too far.

So, Ted, let me just switch topics with one thing. Mark Zuckerberg came out the other day and said that they are going to be looking at anything that is. causing or inflaming the flames of an election that might be taking too long, or there's worry about the count or the fairness, and they will take aggressive action to shut down anybody who's inflaming the situation. Well, I got to believe that that would be anyone and everyone on the right. Are you in touch with what they're doing? I'm censorship of Silicon Valley, I believe, is the single greatest threat in this country,

and it's the greatest threat to democracy. And as bad as big tech has been, censoring and silenced and conservative libertarians, they're getting worse. The Democratic Party got mad at them. You know, if you remember a couple of years ago, Mark Zuckerberg testified in Congress. Yep. And it was mad at them, but they were meant for different reasons. And what the Democratic senators were mad at is they essentially said, like, how could you

possibly let these crazies communicate. Yes. And silence you, to silence me, to silence your listeners, everyone listening to this show, big tech wants your views stifled, and they don't want you to be able to hear anything, the sort of big tech monopoly. Imagine being trapped for the rest of your life in the CNN newsroom. And I'm glad you don't have to imagine that. No, I've been there. It's a pit of despair. Yes. is what is sanitized and processed and for the masses to hear and believe. It's actually another example of why not on the bench, because we need leaders in the Senate and in government to take this on.

Ted Cruz, as always. Good to have you on, sir. Thank you for the good fight. The book is coming out, what, next week, isn't it? Tuesday. It's called one vote now. So love to have. Every chapter tells the war stories about litigating some of the biggest cases of the court.

And he said when I was in the Oval Office, I gave the president who I

thought should be the next Supreme Court justice. And that is Senator Mike Lee, who joins us now. Hi, Mike. How are you? Doing great. It's so good to be back on your show. Thanks for having me. You're welcome. So seriously, I know we have to pick a woman. and for some unknown reason, is the sex change out of the realm of possibility with you? Well, not at the next 72 hours. That seems a little hasty.

Okay. All right. So, Mike, I want to talk to you about the vacancy. What's going on? Ted said that he has concerns of anybody that is nominated because we always screw this up. Is there anybody on this short list that you feel is a real home run? Yeah, look, I think it's going to be Amy Coney Barrett. I could be wrong. I don't think I'm going to be. I think it's going to be her. And I think she would be a fantastic Supreme Court justice. I think she'll be a textualist and originalist. She'll be devoted to the cause of constitutionally limited government. That's what we need. So who would you compare her to? Who do you think she's going to be more like?

She will be in the mold of her former boss, Justice Scalia, and in the mold of Justice Alito, my former boss, and in the mold of Justice Thomas, she'll be somewhere in that universe. Wait, wait, Justice Thomas. Oh, Clarence Thomas. I was singing, Roberts. I thought you said Roberts there for a second.

No, no, no. That would be a very different story. She's going to be somewhere between Roberts and Scalia. She's right in the sweet spot where we would want her to be. Good. She's a Scalia, Alito. Thomas type of jurist and that's exactly what we want. Now, the last time she was confirmed in front of the Senate, they just raked her across the

coals for her religious beliefs. She's a strong Catholic and I mean, just really were, I thought, way out of line. They were. I was horrified, Glenn. As I sat through there, I was in the committee room. I served on the Judiciary Committee and as we were going through the process of confirming her. A couple of my Democratic colleagues started asking her these questions, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing at first. One of my colleagues said, you know, the dogma seems to live strong in you or worse or worse than that. Another colleague asked her if she would describe herself as an Orthodox Catholic. Both of those questions came off to me

as though they were saying, well, it's one thing if you're Catholic, but if you actually believe that stuff, then you're kind of crazy. It really bothers me. As a religious mind, minority myself, I find that very offensive. As an American, I find it appalling. As a constitutional lawyer, I find it unacceptable. Imagine saying that to Ruth Bader Ginsburg about her religion. Exactly. I mean, that's outrageous, absolutely outrageous. So tell me about what you're expecting the Democrats to do. I mean, they are talking about burning the place down. if this if this passes tell me is that is that rhetoric are they serious what what what's what's happening Mike I don't know it's 2020 and so I I don't know whether to read anything

just figuratively or literally because it could easily be both insofar as they're expressing outrage over this that's really quite absurd and look this is not an historical aberration for us to be confirming in this context. You know, in 2016, which they like to point out, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, and the Senate gave its advice and consent on that nominee by rejecting him. This year, President Trump will nominate a replacement. I think it's going to be Amy Coney-Barrant for Justice Ginsburg. And consistent with the Constitution, we'll again give our advice and consent. If we like the nominee, we'll confirm her. If we don't, we won't. It's that simple. You know, there have been Supreme Court vacancies in presidential election years

29 times in the history of our republic. In 10 of those cases, the presidency was held by one party in the Senate by a different party. In nine of those 10 instances, the nominees were rejected by the Senate, just like Garland was. On the other hand, there have been 19 times when a Supreme Court vacancy occurred in a presidential election year where both the presidency and the Senate were controlled by the same party. Only one of those 19 nominees, Abe Fortis, was rejected, and he was rejected on a bipartisan basis after an ethics scandal. Every other nominee, 18 out of those 19, was confirmed in an election year when the Senate and the presidency were under the control of the same party. There's nothing unusual about us doing this. There's no reason why they should threaten to burn the

house down, whatever that means. Mike, you know, for the last few years we've been talking about, we need to make sure we're watching Russia and any foreign actors on, on our elections. The, what the Democrats are doing now with the mail-in ballots, um, and how bad our systems are in every state, uh,

and the Soros owning the, uh, many of the attorney generals or the, um, uh, district attorneys. I, I am really,

really, really concerned that, that no one is going to believe the results of this election, no matter which way it happens. It is certainly concerning, and one of the many reasons why we need to resist any effort ever to centralize all voting authority because of the fact that it would make it more subject to manipulation by nefarious actors either outside of our country, like Russia, or otherwise. By the way, that's exactly what a proposal advanced and passed by the Democratic House of Representatives in this Congress, H.R. 1 would have done, essentialized election authority, making it more vulnerable. Our system is far more vulnerable than I would like it to be, but much better than it would be if the reforms proposed by the Democratic Party were enacted into law. In the meantime, people can do their part by making sure that they vote by looking out for irregularities whenever they see them.

and praying to Almighty God with everything in them that he'll guide us through this particularly difficult election cycle and we'll make it through. Mike, are you concerned with the lack of record for Amy Coney Barrett? I mean, all of them are short. Hers is probably the best, but are you concerned that we don't know enough about these guys? I'm nearly always concerned that we don't know enough. wish we knew more. With Judge Barrett, we know more than we know with most. We confirmed her about three years ago to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. And we also have her career-long track record academically. We know that she's been involved in the Federalist Society. We know that she's

a textualist originalist. We know that she clerked for Justice Scalia. So those are all good signs. All the indications we have from her are positive, and that's why I'm confident about this choice. Scalia is, this was his favorite assistant, or what did you call it a clerk? Yeah, his favorite clerk, right? Yeah, he loved her, and he was not overly emotional or attached to clerks. I have a friend, my friend, John Fee, who is a law professor now at BYU, for Justice Scalia, and I believe it was John Fee. who told me that on the last day of his clerkship,

Justice Scalia said something to him along the lines of, you know, you guys are all fungible to me, right? Oh, my gosh. He was sort of, you know, it was half-joking in many, joking in many, in most respects. But his point was, I can't get emotionally attached to each law clerk, but he loved Judge Barrett, and I think it speaks well of her and of him that he felt that way.

Just because Donald Trump loves a show. And he likes these big surprises. Let me talk to you about Barbara Lagoa a bit. I like her story, born to Cuban immigrants, you know, and really seems to understand America. First Cuban-American woman selected for the court, but she was also nominated by Jeb Bush. So do we, what do we know about her? Okay, so here's the thing. I'm sure she's a great person. I voted to confirm her to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the 11th Circuit. From what I can tell, she is a good judge there. I would not be comfortable confirming her to the Supreme Court of the United States the same way I would be with Amy Coney-Barrant for the simple reason that we don't know that much about her history of commitment to textualism and originalism, at least not before just a few years ago. One of the standards I employs, I like to go back 20 years. I like to find out who someone was associating with, who they were working with 20 years ago. What were they doing to promote understanding of the Constitution, of textualism, of originalism?

You know, 20 years ago, Amy Coney-Barrant was clerking or preparing to clerk for Justice Scalia. I know that she was involved heavily in the Federalist Society that entire time. I don't know that about Barbara Lagoa. In fact, I haven't been able to find anybody who can confirm that to me. I could be wrong in having that concern. But because I don't know, that nominee would scare me simply because I don't know enough about her. Wow. Okay.

Let me just switch topics and then I'll let you go, Mike. The president came out with a ban on woke capital working with the U.S. government. he has tried to stop these woke, you know, hypnotist programs that are going on right now in critical race theory. And we have several branches of the administration that are ignoring his order to not do any of these critical race training meetings. CDC was the first. They had, I think, a 12 or 13 week course. Another one's got a 21-week course that is going on. They're just ignoring.

Aren't we? Should people be fired? I talked to somebody at the OMB yesterday, and he said, well, we really can't. We can't fire people who are directly going against a presidential directive? And first of all, I'm very grateful to the Office of Management and Budget for putting out this memorandum. Last week, I had Russ vote, the head of OMB, come and speak to the Senate Republicans, and explain. the need for this memorandum. Look, these people are hating America on America's dime, and it's time to cut off their allowance. This is absolutely ridiculous. Now, look, have we always

lived up to the lofty ideals that we believe in? No, we're mortals. We're imperfect, but more than any other society that I know anything about in recorded human history, we have the ideals. We do embrace them, and we gravitate over time toward them. To shake America, as foundations to their core to suggest that we don't have those ideals is fundamentally un-American. It's not helpful. It's not what they should be doing. And in this case, it violates an executive branch directive.

So yeah, these people shouldn't be having those courses. By the way, Glenn, who does a 13-week course on anything within the government, let alone a 21 week. I know. If we're doing that much time in training on things that have nothing to do with anyone's job in the federal government? Why do they have a job to begin with? I don't know. It's that expendable. But if you don't fire these people, you're going to teach everyone else. You can get away with it. They'll slap you on the wrist.

They'll make you stop doing it. But they're not going to fire you. Examples need to be made that you respond to the duly elected president of the United States. You're a part of his administration. That's exactly right. The one thing that the founders had in mind when they designed the executive branch of government is that the president of the United States would be the head of the executive branch of government. They didn't contemplate this Byzantine labyrinth, this impenetrable fortress in which people once inside could never be taken out. Right.

There are civil service laws need to be reformed such that the American people can have a say in who operates their government. the president needs discretion to take out people who aren't willing to execute and enforce the laws according to his directives. We need to overall our laws in that area. Going to Washington seems like Hotel California. You can check in, but you can never leave. Thank you so much. Senator Mike.

He stabbed it with their stealing knives, but they still kill the beast. I hope that's not true. I hope that's not true. Thank you very much, Mike. I appreciate it. God bless. Thanks a lot. I'm sure you're familiar with AARP, but were you aware?

that there's a conservative alternative. It's called AMAC, and it was founded by Air Force veteran Dan Weber. Dan and his family saw the fight years ago, saw what was going on, saw that AARP was not supporting its members. It was actually doing things on Capitol Hill that went against their members' interest. Now, look, if you want membership, there's value in, you know, AARP's membership. Excuse me. But with AMAC, you're going to get even more value.

You're going to get the discounts on your car insurance and your hotels, roadside assistance, dental plans. There's also cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have and more benefits to make your life easier and save you money. But here's the kicker. On top of that, AMAC represents the courage, the faith, the reasoning of America, all the good things that we need to have right now. They fight for the freedoms that we hold dear. Things like individual liberty, free speech, freedom of freedom of. religion, the Second Amendment, and the Sanctity of Life. You need an organization that is on Capitol Hill fighting for your value, stands up for your

God-given freedoms, and also does all the things that, you know, why you hire them in the first place to give you all the discounts and all the things and benefits that you would come to expect. That's not AARP. That's AMAC. AMAC. AMAC. AMAC.

They fight the good fight. And you can become a member today. Benefits are great. The cause is even greater at amac. Dot us slash Beck. That's amac. dot us slash Beck. Amac is better.

Better for you. Better for America. 10 seconds. Station ID. Now am I losing my voice too? I swear to you. Perfect. I was in an MRI yesterday.

They had to take fill in my whole back. And I was in there for an hour. And right before I went in, the guy, the attendant was really, really nice. buddy had a thick Indian accent and I could barely understand him and he could barely understand me. And so he was speaking music and I'm like, I don't know. You have any, I don't know, Frank Sinatra or, and he was like, Fraks, I do. And I said, jazz. Oh my gosh, don't ever say that.

Don't ever say that. I was trapped in an MRI machine for an hour listening to the flugel horn and Kenny G. And all of the, oh my gosh, it was. nightmare. It's bad enough being in the little coffin but with Kenny G I almost lost my mind. Can we talk for a second about

what I think was a pretty impactful interview with Mike Lee? Yes. In that before this is announced he's saying he thinks it will be Barrett not Lagoa which is would be to me was notable that he would come out and actually say that. That's not him saying well

either one would be great and then he came out and said he had real concerns with Lagoa again he was a he said it in a very diplomatic way as Michael Lee tends to do but you could tell there's a clear preference there and the fact that he's taking a public position on that tells me you know Amy Coney Barrett it does seem like that's the that's where and you know Ted kind of went the same way we had Ted Cruz on about an hour ago and he kind of said the same thing much less clear oh much less clear much more political politically neutral.

You know what I mean? And I don't think either one of them wants to knock Lagoa or any other nominee. I mean, they obviously all, I think everyone on those lists has at least a good argument for them to be a decent Supreme Court justice. But he seems, him being confident in Coney Barrett makes me much more comfortable than I feel as a conservative who's been burned so many times. Yeah, you don't feel good about it because you keep getting nailed. Yeah. every time they don't know this one's going to be great. Really?

But really, I mean, legitimately, if I had to ask one person to tell me who I think this next Supreme Court justice should be, it would be Mike Lee. Like legitimately, I can't think of any. At some point after naming now, what, two or three of them, three of them, this would be the third one. I would just say, you know, why am I asking you, Mike? You should just be the next Supreme Court justice. I would be thrilled, obviously, with that pick. But when you're talking, you never know, and you get, you get, you know, Ted Cruz, I'd be pretty confident in his pick, too. And he was a little more, you know, reserved.

Reserved about it. Mike seemed to have a really clear preference in that interview for Connie Barrett. And look, he makes a good argument. You know, I'm a little nervous that she doesn't have as long a record, but you can see the way they're going to attack her. And I don't think that's a successful way to attack a nominee. I think that would be really bad. Really bad look. What are you going to do?

They're the Handmaid's Tale. Oh my gosh. All right. Really bad. Is the Glenn Beck program? Well, the dogs have all spoken. I mean, not literally. That would be cool, though, if they got a rough greens is really good.

But I don't mean it that way. Stu's dog, my dog, Uno, Pat's dog, all of them. They love it. They love rough greens. They're a happy, happy, happy. and healthy bunch now. If you're a dog owner, I know loving your dog is just part of the responsibility you have as his owner, but you take good care of him because you do love them and you do want them around forever. You can promote a healthy, happy life for him. And that's why we feed our dogs,

the supplement, rough greens. Now, it's not a dog food. It's a supplement. You put it on top or you mix it into the dog's food and it has all of the nutrients your dog needs, which get cooked out of kibble food while it's being made. Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, just some of the things your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle. All three of us, all three of us had finicky dogs.

Do it now. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. A new stew does America

And then part two of the Civil War The Left's revolutionary playbook Exposed on blazedTV.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. So glad you're here. Some, I think some big news today. Both Ted Cruz and Mike Lee on this program

said that they didn't know enough about Lagoa. Ted Cruz said he was always concerned about all of the nominees, because we always get it wrong. He felt comfortable, the most comfortable, I think, with Amy Coney Barrett. And Mike Lee came out and said he has real hesitation about Lagoa, which I thought was striking, because Mike is not the kind of guy to make big headlines. He's a quiet guy, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, and that was a very public position.

to take in this moment because if Lagoa is the nominee, in two weeks he's going to be probably voting for her. And maybe he can say, okay, well, you know, she, she is, you know, made me confident in the hearings. Or not. I mean, Mike's not going to vote for her if he doesn't believe it. Mike won't vote for her if he doesn't believe. No, and he shouldn't.

No one should. Right. But I would be very surprised to see Michael Lee vote down any nominee brought up by the Republican party at this point. Me too. Especially because he knows how important this is. and this is a once this is a once in a lifetime political

window that has opened. That's why it should be Mike Lee. It's why it should be likely. Especially because any Republican you really should be able to get anybody through right now. Yeah. I mean, you know, again, they might say to you, hey, well, you know, this is,

this is, we're going to, people might vote you down or you might lose, you know, a couple of Senate seats or whatever over it. This is worth it. It is one of the most, it's one of them, this is, we are sitting here. Think of 2020 and all the crazy crap that has happened. We are sitting here in the single greatest, um, uh,

uh, and I mean greatest as far as like, just expansive possibilities of the difference between a Republican nominee that gets in in the next couple of months and who might be nominated if Trump were to lose by Joe Biden is a cataclysmic difference. Anything it takes to get. get someone through here before January 20th.

Because if he gets in, if Biden gets in, they, this is why it's so important. The Supreme Court is so important is because they see it as another legislative body. Oh, yeah. So they have to have a legislative body. That's why they will pack the court. And we need someone who actually cares about the Constitution. Correct. It's so crucial they can't screw this one up.

Not this time. Please. Drew Holden is with us. He's from the Resurgent and the author of The Resurgent. Welcome to the program, Drew. How are you? Thank you, sir. I'm doing well, Glenn.

How about yourself? You know, I would be better if we didn't have our country on fire right now. A reasonable thing to be concerned. Right. And it seems to me, Drew, and you're great at pointing this out, it seems to me they are willing to do anything. They really, I think they mean, burn the whole thing down.

Yeah, I mean, you know, Senator Schumer said the other day that all options are on the table, right? And they've floated all of the bad ideas, be it during the nominating process and since, and I can't help but agree with you. So you do what you do best. You took everybody's words now and then. You want to give us some of the most stunning? Sure, yeah. I mean, I think up from the start, President Barack Obama was saying,

four short years ago, that it would be irresponsible for the Republicans to not consider a nominee before one has even announced. He has since four years later called on congressional Democrats and Senate Democrats to do the exact same thing. Senator Schumer, another one of our greatest hit, he was saying the same thing. He said, you know what? The Senate has confirmed 17 SCOTUS justices in presidential election years. The Senate should do their job, confirm a nominee back when it was a Democratic nominee, right? When Merrick Garland was going to be the one. But this was all up and down the ticket. I mean, potential, you know, the presidential nominee Joe Biden saying the same thing. It would be a genuine constitutional crisis to block

a potential justice nominee on the court. All of those thoughts, all of that, all of that logic has gone entirely out the window in the span of four years. So I have to tell you, Drew, Stu and I are one of the only two that I know of. I know there are more, but the only two that I know of that actually said, give an up or down vote. I mean, we're considering. With Garland. Even though I don't think you need to be consistent on these two because there is a difference. The Senate is, it was not controlled by the Democrats. And that's usual for them not to, you know, honor the nominee. Exactly. And it's not a rubber stamp, right?

I mean, I think that's the thing that's kind of lost on people is that the role of the Senate isn't to vet a candidate and say, yep, okay, here they go. They're fine. They'll let them through. it's to vote up or vote down. I agree with you. I think I was saying the same thing back when and said, hey, you know what? Fine. We don't like the guy. Vote them down.

Get it over with it. Vote down whoever you want, but have the vote and do it. And again, this is the old, this is, in a lot of ways, it's the old Harry Reid filibuster play. You think it's going to work for you. And the short term, it makes a lot of sense. But in the long term, you look like he got a lot of egg on your face. So I find it interesting how the change in the left here on tone.

Hillary Clinton, this is the, tweet from ABC News at the time calls for a full and fair hearing for Merrick Garland. In announcing Judge Merrick Garland as his nominee, President Obama has met his responsibility. Now it's up to the members of the Senate to meet their own, end quote. It seems respectable. Listen to this. Hillary Clinton says Senate Democrats will have to use every single possible maneuver to prevent Senator McConnell from enacting the greatest travesty and monumental

hypocrisy in attempting to fill Ruth Bader Gidsberg's Supreme Court seat. I mean, the words that the left is using now, they are just so extreme. They are. And, you know, I think they would be extreme, even if the Merrick Garland situation hadn't happened, right? I think, to his credit, Senator Schumer pointed out, 17 times we filled a Supreme Court seat in an election year. So the idea in general of calling this a monumental,

hypocrisy, the greatest travesty. It's just, it's baldly ridiculous. But when they were seeing the exact opposite just four years ago, it really does, I mean, for anyone sitting at home who may still kind of think that there are people on the left side of the aisle who are going in good faith to try and do things that are in the best interest of the American people rather than politicians who are gunning for power, I hope this dashes that thinking. And this is why, it seems like, there's a few conservatives out there who have, a lot of them I like, who are kind of trying to propose this this idea that we would maybe make a deal with the Democrats and tell them, well, don't pack the court. And then if you don't pack the court, then we won't put up a nominee. And I mean,

I like the sentiment. It feels good. I wish we had a country in which that was appropriate. I still push for a nominee. But I wish we had a country in which the Democrats could be trusted in such a situation. But quite clearly, we don't, right? Yeah. I mean, you're spot on. It's one of those things where I, you know, you talk about the David Frenches or Jonah Goldbergs who are just kind of waiting and hoping that the Dems will act in good faith. And particularly on something like the Supreme Court, I don't know where they've been for the last few years. I don't know if maybe they haven't been paying attention, but I don't know how any conservative, you know, with any electricity going on between

the ears could look at the Kavanaugh situation and say, yes, I trust these same people to now act in good faith. It's like it's a schoolyard saying, right? Like this is the sort of thing that you usually learn as a five, six, seven-year-old when you ask someone not to do something and give something up for it. And for some reason, that message hasn't hit home for some of these folks. It hasn't hit home, though, I think for a lot of Democrats, too, that are, you know, there's a difference between a Marxist, a progressive, a liberal, and a Democrat. I've got a lot in common with Democrats, some things in common with liberals, but they're important things on, you know, we both agree with the Bill of Rights. Once you get into progressive and Marxists is a different

story. But those are the people that are now in charge. And it, it appears as though they just despise America and will destroy it if they have to and destroy it because they want to, at least the ones that they're listening to and empowering on the streets. Yeah. And I think part of it is, you know, they, they feel entirely compelled to have some measure of power and control. And they're used to, they're familiar with having a Supreme Court and having a justice system that by and large is going to, is willing to legislate from the bench, is willing to carry victories and willing to carry water when Democrats lose elections or can't get legislation through or whatever it is. And I think what you're seeing right now this kind

of collective freak out on the streets is, oh no, what happens if we lose that? What happens if that sort of power and authority goes out the window? And you're right. I think there's a lot of people who are willing to truly burn down anything, any institution, any value, right, you're hearing talk about packing the Supreme Court, abolishing the electoral college, doing way with a filibuster, anything that could be an impediment to that vision of what they think of as a better America can go out the window incredibly quickly. There's a great story on the blaze today. Mike Bloomberg helps pay court fines for 31,100 Florida felons so they can vote.

But they're all handpicked. they're Democrats that they're doing and they're Hispanic or blacks. They're not doing it for whites. How is Michael Bloomberg going to get away with this? Is he? You know, to be honest with you, I'm not confident he is. I think if there were another universe in which, you know, I'm personally, I think I'm a pretty big fan of restoring voting rights to

felons. Me too. They serve their time. But the idea of going through and selecting only the ones who you can confidently rely on to vote. one, yes, I mean, I'm sure there's an enormous number of legal challenges. I'm sure he'll get sued. I would be relatively surprised. I think if he were to get away with it, one, and two, again, it just shows how obviously in bad faith what he's doing is, because if what he was really concerned about

was restoring the rights of felons, there's been a lot of great work in Florida done, pushing on that issue. There's a lot of ways to do that rather than handpick throughout the voting roles of people who you think are going to vote for your team. So, Drew, have you wargamed this out in your head? how does America come back together after this? Because we're seeing what the left is doing to the voting rolls and to, you know, mail out ballots and things like this in Florida. We're seeing it. We know that they are going to be litigating everything.

They keep claiming that we're trying to throw the election and we're trying to cheat with, I guess, Russia again. I don't know what it is. But they were. won't believe a verdict of Trump is president. And I don't know, unless it's a blowout, I would believe that this was a fair election. How do we come together? Yeah, you know, I mean, my first thought, Glenn, is I think what we need to do is have a really rock-solid Supreme Court with nine justices that we can count on. Whatever happens from the election, we're going to need

to have a Supreme Court that is able to legislate the outcomes, right? We've got 50 separate state-based elections, all of which could end up at the Supreme Court. So I think we need to have an institution that people can trust and rely on that has probably as many justices as usually sit on it to be able to make that decision. One, two, I think what you're going to need to see, and on both sides, right, I don't think this is a uniquely Democrat problem, but what you're going to need to see is the more trusted, respected voices within the institution, come back and say, oh, norms, you have institutions you're going to need, if President Trump wins re-election, you're going to need Joe Biden and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to get up and say, we are accepting the results of this election.

Do you see that? Concerns? No. I mean, I think the problem is I don't. I could see it from maybe Biden, probably Obama. But the idea of trusting someone like Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton, who haven't accepted the result of the 2016 election to come out and say, yes, I trust that this was fair when we have so many more variables at play. I guess the short answer is, yes, I've war-gamed it out. No, I don't have a good, I don't have a good answer for how we can walk back from the evisper stare. All right.

Thank you very much, Drew. I really appreciate it. God bless. Such is mine, sir. You bet. And you as well. Thank you. Thank you.

Drew Holden from the resurgent. He's at Drew Holden 360 on Twitter. A great follow because he puts these threads together. All his threads are the best. You know, 20, 30, 40, different people in the media, Democrats, whoever, who are totally being hypocritical and he finds all the tweets and has the receipts. I want to talk to you about food that it would be so good. People will say that you deserve your own cooking show. It is the best, the best hamburgers, the best ribs.

I mean that fall off the bone. I've never been able to make good ribs. We didn't do anything except put it in the rec tech. That's it. We followed a recipe, put it in the rec tech, and it came out a few hours later. And it was, it's as good as anything I've had, you know, out at some of the good barbecue places. here in Texas. Rec Tech is a great, great smoker in grill.

It's sleek, beautiful, made with heavy, stainless steel. It's like grilling on a tank. You can grill indoors. Well, I mean, you have to leave the grill outdoors, but you can go indoors because you don't have to stand there and watch it all the time and check it because it is smart grill technology that you can check and even start and stop everything with your cell phone, no matter where you are.

Sturdy, it's smart, it's dinner time. It's a rec. check them out now rec tech r-e-c-tek-t-E-C-T-E-Q rec-tech with a q dot com compare side-by-side the best grill you're ever going to find rec tech dot com this is the glenbeck program we've got a great hour for you next we'll actually i think be able to understand what the hell people are thinking uh coming over the next 60 minutes you don't want to miss it this is idea that you should try to get people fired up in your base right to win an election And the Democrats are trying to do that because that's what everybody tries to do these days.

And I understand the motivation behind it. But Joe Biden is outwardly making this pitch of the anti-caus candidate, right? Remember those old days when like the worst thing that would happen would be, you know. Ferguson? But again, Ferguson was one incident. We can all remember it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many, can you name all the cities that have happened in the last three months?

No. You can't because there's so many of them. And his side of the aisle as a one-neous, gift to Donald Trump is continually stirring this stuff up. You can't be the guy I want to return to normalcy. You can't be that candidate if you're saying I want to get rid of the electoral college. I want to get rid of the Senate. I want to get rid of the filibuster.

I want to pack the court. I want chaos in the streets. You know, all of these things defunding the police. His entire side of the aisle is trying to give the impression that if the Republicans do what any party would do in this situation, nominated justice that agreed with their philosophy, that this is, we're going to burn the entire thing down. And if you want to burn the system down type of candidate, you could have had that with Bernie Sanders.

You could have had that. Joe Biden is not that candidate. It's not the way he's pitching himself and the reason why he's been leading in the polls for a while. Now they're burning that entire pitch that got Biden into this position down to the ground before the election. That's why they're trying to rig it every way they can.

She was writing for Playboy magazine, a very popular column in Playboy magazine, until she started to go, wait a minute, I'm not sure I agree with everything that the left is saying. Then, of course, she had to be destroyed. She's written a great article in The Spectator, letters from the politically homeless, almost every Democrat voting for Trump has a story about

being ostracized, shame, or losing a friend. That is not going to be helpful for Joe Biden. Rigid fetusy and what she's seeing and the pattern she's seeing from the Democrats and independence in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program.

I know, it's been too long. I know. I mean, you're trapped in California. You're going to slide off into the sea at some point. I was just in Texas. Pardon me? I was just in Texas, actually, doing that, you know, California thing of looking around and saying, maybe I should get out.

Maybe. Maybe? You haven't been convinced yet? What is it? No, we're getting out. First of all, you are getting out? Yeah. First of all, before we get into your spectator, which is an awesome column, what is it like right now in California?

You know, it seems like I was gone for two weeks, and I came back and it seems like it's settled down a little bit. But it feels it's just strange. You know, I went down to the third three promenade to do some shopping, and it's just a reminder of everything. being still boarded up, lots of places are shut down. It was weird to be in Arizona and Texas where things are much more open. You can just go into restaurants and eat with masks. You know, everybody seemed to be respectful of wearing masks, but they also were still just going about their lives.

And coming back here, it still feels very closed up. And people, it's more of the interactions with people that are upsetting. I feel like everybody's become very suspicious of each other. And, you know, in the beginning of the pandemic, there was that kind of solidarity. We were all in this together, and it quickly shifted to, you know, crossing the street hurriedly and making sure that you're, it's just strange. It's a strange not, it doesn't feel hospitable. And the homelessness is really just staggering.

That's really the thing that is the most noticeable. It seems to just keep getting worse. So are Californians getting it? I mean, are they starting to see, well, wait, these guys maybe not, maybe this isn't the best way to run a government for a state? I don't know. You know, as I've become someone who pays more attention to these things, there does seem to be a strange lack of awareness between the people you're, voting for and the policies that you're complaining about. I feel, and I think with California in particular, you'll see people just leave California.

And I always say to California, you know, in my little YouTube show on Dumpsterfire, I did a whole rant about this. I was saying, don't take your crappy policies to the states where they don't have them because it's not, you know, that's a weird disconnect that I don't fully understand. So I'm curious to see what happens in these states where they've received the California refugees. So you write in your column, almost every Democrat who is voting for Trump has a personal story about being ostracized, shamed, or losing a close friend or family member over politics. I thought perhaps after Hillary's lost, the left would learn that bullying people, tone policing and punishing people for wrong think only turns people off, how wrong I was. Mm-hmm. I was very wrong.

The evidence of me being very wrong is that I'm having conversation with you about this and not Jake Tapper. You would think they would want to hear from me, being that I'm somebody who is of the left and still lives in a very liberal place where people feel like because I'm so publicly open about my own independent policy. that they can confess their true feelings to me. So I hear things just even on the ground and from friends that they would never publicly admit to say. A person who wrote me who's voting for Trump, who was a former Democrat, which was a surprising number. The way the emails probably, I have a thousand at this point,

leaned much more heavily in favor of Trump. Obviously, that could be self-selecting based on my audience. Anecdotal is what it is, but it still seemed like a big pattern of people who independents vote for more policy, they seem to say, well, I can look aside from his character and I can look at what he's doing on paper. With the Democrats, it was personal. Almost every single person writing me had a personal story of, I mean, people have gotten divorced over this, over the politics and the fights and parents have had.

had findings out with their children, their kids aren't talking to them, they're not seeing their grandkids. These were upsetting things to read. This isn't happen, I don't think, since the Civil War, when, you know, the split in the family would happen, and it really divided the families. I mean, we've had arguments for a long time with family members, but we still got together. That's not happening. We're getting lots of, lots of people telling us, can't go see my grandkids anymore.

Can't go see my son and daughter. Can't, you know, I mean, it's nuts. Yeah, it's upsetting. And I see it from the left to the right perspective as well. There are a lot of people whose parents have been kind of taken down the very far right conspiracy theories that are extremely, you know, almost in the QAnon territory where they're a little bit unreachable. And then you see it on the left where the, where the, where the, where they're. a Trump derangement syndrome or whatever you might want to call it. On the right, I call it Trump Devotion syndrome.

On the left, the Trump derangement syndrome is very intense and they're unreachable. So there's just people are truly losing themselves into the tribal instincts. And there isn't much to, you know, unless you're pretty self-aware doing work, there there isn't much to stop that process, I think, once it starts happening. And in fact, our media and our society is very supportive of that divide. And everywhere you'll hear on the left all the time, you know, break up. You'll see tweets like this all the time. I stopped talking to my parents.

I wrote them out. I mean, I come from a big, huge Irish Catholic family where everybody was, there were lots of different opinions all across the political spectrum. There were 10 kids in my dad's family, and it was drilled into us by my grandparents. Rest in peace. They were amazing. You do not fight over money or politics. Blood comes before all of that. You just, you love each other and have disagreements.

And yes, people would get drunk and the cops would come sometimes. But that's a normal Irish Catholic family. Yeah, right. We still out love each other and we would still make up. and we still all have great relationships, even if our politics are, you know, I have a very far, I have an extremely conservative uncle and I have aunts and uncles who were in the Portland protest, protesting, and we all still sit down and break bread and love each other. That is where I come from, and I hate seeing this.

When people talk about the fabric of society starting to shred, this is where I'm seeing it the most. And it's just upsetting. And I don't think people can understand what happens also when people feel rejected. That feeling of rejection is radical. It can be radicalizing to people if they suddenly feel ostracized or shamed. You know, there are just little stories about people at work being outed or being. It's very strange. It's such a strange.

I don't understand that instinct, but it's strange for people to be doing that to one another, as if that couldn't turn around and happen to them. I got to tell you, it is, it is so bizarre. Stu, is there any doubt in your mind, as conservative as this company is, we've, we've had progressives, we've had people work for it. If we had somebody who was like a Joe Biden supporter, is there any doubt in mind that we would all be cool with that person? Yeah, of course.

I don't understand this. Outing stuff and the shame and the, that's awful. That's just an awful people. That's a group of awful people. Let me go ahead. Go on. Oh, I just, I call it like microcancelations. You know, we talk a lot about cancel culture just in the discourse.

And I think this evidence of microcancelations that I'm viewing, which is these little ones that are happening all over America in friend groups and in families. I don't think we can underestimate that effect. The people I hear from who are generally Republican voting for Biden, almost across the board, it is a character, Trump's character that they have the biggest issue with and some of the corruption, some of the people surrounding him, et cetera. With the, with the left voting for the right, almost every single person. person has two things. It's being kind of red-pilled by the mainstream media between COVID and riots and protests and now even with the the left saying they're going to get rid of the filibuster and stack the courts and then personal

experience of being quote unquote canceled. All right. I'm going to continue with Bridges Fetticey here in just a second. I want to play an audio clip and ask you. if you think people that vote for Democrats actually believe this stuff or if they're just tolerating it. We'll get into that here in just one minute, standby. Our sponsor, the Saff Hour is Goldline. In less than six weeks, we are going to be electing a president. And in probably no more than 42 weeks, we'll know the outcome.

Anyway, everything is unclear. everything is unclear. We have no idea where America will be in the next six months. No idea. With the death of Ginsburg, things were even crazier. The 2000 presidential election was nuts. And because of that, equity markets struggled with the S&P 500, or 500, dropping close to 12%.

NASDAQ dropped 5%. After the results were announced that it was unclear, That's what happened to the markets. This is weeks of uncertainty coming our way. Imagine what a dragged out election might do to the country and to our markets, to our dollar. I want you to call Goldline right now for a very limited time. Goldline is offering free silver with every order. Call and find out how to get started protecting your portfolio now.

All right, I want to play ESPN's Max Kellerman.

This is from yesterday. Listen to this. when he talks about like black lives matter 93% of the protests are peaceful the vast overwhelming majority are peaceful and by the way the 7% that are not they have a very broad definition of what's not quote unquote peaceful like for example if you block traffic or something like that or if you respond to police provocation and even then a big percentage of that which we that wasn't peaceful is actually outside agitators extremist right wing agitators posing as protesters in order to make the protests look bad.

That's the first thing. Bridget. I mean, we're hearing this. We're hearing this all the time from the media, that it's a peaceful. No, the protest when they started, they were peaceful. Now they're generally a bunch of white punks that are just destroying things because they can.

So they're not peaceful. And it's certainly not right, wing agents coming in. Do people believe that, or you just look at it and roll your eyes? I don't know. I think it depends on the individual, really, what you believe. So I've been thinking a lot about this because I'm hearing from so many people who were behind the idea, I think everybody was kind of on board of we need to really

look at police brutality. and then things. Everybody. I wonder how, do we know what percentage of people actually protested? You know,

how many people in America? Because that means a lot of other people were just observing this going down and still probably supporting but not necessarily.

Oh, yeah. I don't know. Do you know anybody when that first killing happened? Do you know anybody that said, no,

police are always right. No. We were united. We were united. And then somehow or another, it was used to divide us. Yeah, I mean, I think probably if you look statistically at how many protests there were, even little ones, the majority of them probably were peaceful. And they probably went off without a hitch for the most part.

I think everything that happened during the day probably was peaceful. Is that a good metric, though? So what? if only 7% were violent. Like, that's not acceptable. Like, if you were spent only 7% of your days murdering someone, you'd still be thought of generally as a murderer.

I don't think people would be like, oh, well, that one day, he went and he helped at the soup kitchen. No one cares. But I don't think necessarily the 7% are even voting. You know, this is something where I do think that a lot of the people who are violent, and this is where

I feel the left has done a very bad, job, the Democratic Party in general, is that they have not divorced themselves from this extremism. And in fact, you know, for all to talk about carrying water and all this stuff, I don't see them pushing back hard enough against that violence. And if they have started to, it's only because they realize that it's polling that they need to. But for the most part, they've, they've accepted it and they've allowed it. And I need to start on CNN. and encouraged it, even if it's out of the side of their mouth. So do you think the average person that doesn't pay attention to the news,

that they know that the Democrats were like crazy on this? I think the problem is that the average person who doesn't pay attention to the news, what little they're getting, they can't separate the... Truth from fiction. They can't separate the... Well, no, they can't separate the 7% from the 93%. So they are going to look at the news and say, wow, the left is crazy.

Even, I mean, to be fair, they are. But I don't think the majority, I know lots of, you know, people who are kind of, I would call Biden liberals and my family who are, I was laughing about this the other day because I was on the phone with a family member who is old school Biden liberal voting for Biden. And he was like, Bridget, I'm very worried about you. in the aftermath of the election, if Trump wins, which I think he's going to, I think you need to get out of L.A. And it's like, so the party that you're voting for is going to burn my city down if they lose. Like, how do I reconcile this? It's logic.

What did he say? Did you say that to him? Yeah, of course. And he was kind of laughing, but he was saying, you know, that same thing is that those aren't those people aren't voting. This is a pretty, but he pays more attention to the news, I would say, then, because these

Antifa people aren't voting, or whoever it is that the agitate, the outside agitators. No, but you have the upper end of the Democrats actually supporting this stuff. And it's, it's really, it's, it's a frightening

time. And I do suggest you leave Los Angeles. Come to Texas. As soon as we check your voter ID, come to Texas. Bridget Fettisey, a host of a great podcast, Walk-ins, welcome, and her article in The Spectator,

letters from the politically homeless. Bridget Fetasy, thanks for being on the program. Thank you for having me. This is the Glenn Beck program. So Bill's the type of runner who regularly paces second or third in his age group at races. That's pretty good. He lives

in Colorado, and a lot of people are, man, Everybody runs in Colorado. Stop it. Stop it. Anyway, Bill started having problems with his hips and his legs, and he had to cut down on the racing for a while. He said it looked like I wasn't going to be able to do it anymore because he was in so much pain.

He tried a few different things, didn't either help or it made him feel sluggish and not himself. Then he heard about relief factor. He decided to give it a try, and within a few weeks, Bill was taking it, and his pain, he said, basically disappeared. Bill got his life back, and so can you. Relief Factor, it's not a drug.

A brand news, too. Tonight, and then part two, the Civil War, the left's revolutionary playbook exposed with Glenn Beck. Go to blazTV.com slash Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. Tonight, it's Wednesday night, which means my Wednesday night special. You'll find it on Blaze TV. And you don't want to miss this. This is Civil War Part 2, the left's revolution playbook exposed.

And you know you didn't have to watch the first one to understand this one. We pick up right where we left. off with the color revolution. That is what I believe is happening in America right now. And if you don't know what a color revolution is, you don't have to worry about it. I'll explain it tonight. But I'm going to show you the seven pillars. And I'm going to show you exactly how the State Department and the federal government, along with George Soros,

fomented revolution from the Middle East all the way through Europe. and Eastern Europe. And you can judge them as a good thing or a bad thing. It's up to you. But this is what's happening here in America. And I believe the 2020 election was never about finding a better candidate. It was really revolution. They lost with Hillary Clinton.

They knew that Donald Trump would not play ball with this idea that it's all run, by autocrats and that there is a deep state, state department that just keeps going. He actually wanted to change things. Well, they don't like his policies in the Middle East. Are you kidding me? They don't want that. That's not what they want.

So they had to do something about it. And what's happening right now is just getting rid of President Trump. And there is a playbook for that. And I will show you tonight. In fact, I'm going to zoom in on the first four of these color revolution pillars, show you how their work and what the end goal is. I'm also going to reveal one of the architects of the playbook, a color revolution specialist, former ambassador, former Obama administration official, who is one of the key masterminds

of the revolution. You'll see how deeply this person is involved, and it's a little shocking. Tonight, Civil War Part 2. You can find it in blazedtv.com slash glen. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Please subscribe to the Blaze TV. I just want to tell you what Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to do for the election. Now, this is according to the Financial Times.

Facebook is preparing in case violence erupts after the November U.S. presidential election. Okay. All right. Nick Clegg, the head of global affairs. told the Financial Times, the network has plans for scenarios like widespread civil unrest or an unclear result if mail-in votes are counted slowly. Okay. Well, we know that the left has already planned to set things on fire the night after the election, if not election night. Clegg declined to explain Facebook's specific plan, but said that the company may make strong moves to restrict the circulation of content.

Now, that could be good. Maybe it's foreign content. Or maybe that's content like from the blaze that says, no, that's not what happened last night. Facebook said Tuesday that it has a plan in case there is violent unrest in the wake of the U.S. election and that it would restrict content on its platform in such a scenario. Nick Clegg, Facebook's head of global affairs. told the financial times that the company has plans in place in case of widespread chaos.

He did not elaborate exactly what the measures Facebook is considering are, but he said that the company would make aggressive moves to, quote, restrict the circulation of content that it thought might further inflame the situation. They are also now working with military officials. Whoa. Like to know what that's all about. This is a very powerful platform. It's what they use to start the Arab Spring. It's what they use to start the revolution in Russia.

It is what they used all over Europe. Prepare. Notice everybody's doing scenarios, working on wargaming scenarios. has your family war game to scenario yet? I mean, we know how to get out of the house if it catches on fire. We've wargamed that one. Yeah. You might want to think about that.

Yeah, you know, there's been, I've made some trips. I think everyone in this audience has been like, you know, I've got some food. I've made some trips to the gun store. Yeah. It's a good place to start. Yeah, no, it's a good place to start. I mean, no one's going to ever get to the Glenbeck levels. We understand this.

Oh, no, I've already building the moon base. Actually, Elon Musk might get to your level. He's the one guy for different reasons probably. It says it's kind of an interesting thing. We were talking off the air just a minute ago about how this sort of just this weird sort of thing that happens with conservative politics online and how it kind of stretches through all of society these days. The Max Kellerman clip you played with Bridget Fetacey is what got us going on this. And it's like what an insane thing, right? Like this, you know, obviously he doesn't know anything about these issues.

he's half quoting a tweet he probably saw like his level of understanding. But you see it at ESPN is a really good example in that ESPN has an audience that is made up of roughly 50-50. It's probably a slight lean to the right. Well, it represents America, which sports should. And it's mostly men too. Yeah, it's a right lean. It's a right lean. I think it probably over-leans to the right slightly more than America when you talk about the audience who watches sports.

yet there's almost no ability for anyone on their airwaves to say something that would disagree with the social justice narrative. There's a couple people who've done it, Will Kane. And now he's over at Fox News. So, you know, you have occasionally Stephen A. Smith

who goes both ways erratically, you know, in my view at times. But there's a few here and there, but it's very rare. and the analysis of a political issue is almost uniform for a network that is playing absolutely to a broad audience of people who believe different things about politics. It's ABC Disney, that's why. Disney can't take the hit.

So where are the people pushing back? Well, you see that online. You see it with places like Barstool or Fox Sports One or, you know, Clay Travis, we've had him on before. There are certain pushbacks on the right, especially online. But you'd think you'd see more people, stepping in and saying, wait a minute. There's half the country.

It's half the country. Like, and the guy I really like to read is Brian Kaplan, and he had a story or column about this recently. And he's an economist. And he talks about how one of the weaknesses of discrimination is that it creates profit opportunities for others, right? Like, the government always likes to take credit. Well, we got rid of, we passed the Civil Rights Act and we passed this and we pass that.

And it's like, well, when you look at the way the people, were moving leading up to those things, you realize that the people lead the politicians, not the other way around. It's always the way these things work. And it's impossible. We say this all the time. If you wanted to implement and get rid of the idea that you, let's just say you could have no blacks at lunch counters again.

That just came back into being legal for some reason, right? Who would do this, right? No one would do it because you'd be, number one, everyone would hate you. No one would have go to your store anymore. And number two, there'd be a million places that would take African American customers and happily accept their money. The only place that I see this happening is with sports because they are embracing something that the audience doesn't embrace. And the free market is saying, I don't want any of that. Look at the ratings.

They're down. They're down for sure. Significant. Yeah. I mean, I think there's more reasons than just that, but I do think that's part of it. Okay. But his point in the column was, where are the people taking advantage of this right now?

Almost every company seems aligned in, yes, if you say that, if you say that all lives matter, you're going to be canceled, right? Almost every big company, especially,

seems aligned in embracing this social justice message that quite clearly, by polling by every single, by every outcome is a divisive sort of idea. For even like abortion, for example, can you find a company that would embrace the pro-life stance? I mean, maybe you got... Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is a great example, and they're stepping in and they're doing this.

They're doing exactly what Brian is asking about. But, you know, we love Patriot Mobile. They're an awesome company. But, like, shouldn't... Why does Patriot Mobile have to do that? Why isn't Verizon doing it? Why isn't AT&T doing it? Why?

I don't. I think, honestly, look at us. We speak our mind. We don't play the game. We lay our chips and our cards face up on the table. So everybody knows exactly who we are. We try to be consistent, but sometimes we say things that our audience doesn't like it all. Yep. Okay. That's who we are. But even we are very careful on just not blurting stuff up. We're not like the left. Right. The left can just blurt whatever. And then they can go, boy, that was stupid. Shouldn't have said that. We don't. We can't afford mistakes because they dogpile. So any company that would want to do that, they know they're going to be painted as a group of real haters and bigots and everything else.

They'll be painted and the left has an army. It's true. But like my pillow is an example, right? Yeah. Here's a company that makes great pillows. And but they are. also taking advantage of a market inefficiency, which is they are getting absurdly low. And I don't know this fundamentally.

I don't know their business, but they are getting absurdly low ad rates for the amount of audience Tucker Carlson brings in every night. Right. Because nobody wants to. People are scared. Yeah. Like if Mercedes just was like, you know what, okay, I'll put my ads on Fox News. I'm not endorsing everything that Tucker Carlson says, but who cares?

Yeah. And so... Conservatives drives Mercedes as well as liberals. In fact, probably more. Yeah, probably. Right. And so why aren't there more companies that step into that? Yes, I understand the pressure, but like, there's a huge opportunity.

And many companies have made their business on that opportunity. We've talked about dozens of them. Companies that have come to us, you know, hey, I want an advertiser show. And we've built the company basically. from scratch. Yeah. Not because, you know, because of any innate ability that we have, but just the ability of these companies to recognize that the people in this audience

actually matter. They care about the people in this audience as much as they care about anybody. They'll let anyone buy their product. And you know what's amazing is the loyalty would be off the charts. Because we have all been told we don't matter. We don't matter. Yep. You don't matter.

We are not even worth listening. to you're not even worth inviting on to have a decent conversation with you're not so we've been called all kinds of names been kicked around we're friendless if a company came in and it was a good company and they just said you know what we're we're not picking sides we don't we're we don't want to get involved in that we're not picking sides but we think you're important and we think that you should you're a valued customer just as much as the guy who voted the other way I think think an audience would eat that up. Yep. And I think some smart companies have done it, right? There's a ton of advertisers on this, you know, places like Hobby Lobby fall into that category

to me where they're not like an overtly political company. They just stand up for what they believe. You know, like Chick-fil-A at some level, just closing on Sundays. These things mean things to people. And there is, I think, such an opportunity for these companies to do this. And they're intentionally just being like, nah, what just leave that money on the table? It's not normally what big companies and capitalist companies do. And it's amazing because the, you don't even have to say all lives matter. All you have to say is,

you know what? We built our business in America. We think America's pretty great. And that's it. That's shocking. That's it. That's all you have to say. They were trying to cancel Ruth Bader Ginsburg

post death because she had the gall to say that Colin Kaepernick was dumb. When she was asked about this in 2016 when he was taking a knee. Wow. Ruth freaking Bader Ginsburg said it was dumb that he was taking a knee. And now we've moved so far that no one's even able to point out that, guess what? Colin Kaepernick is dumb.

We'll do it. In fact, I'll like to do it. I'll do it again. It's great for us. He's dumb. He is dumb as a box of rocks. Stupid. All right.

If you didn't already know this, it's time to realize that AARP is not your friend. Now, this is exactly what we're. talking about. AARP, when we were going through Obamacare, I was watching AARP send all of their lobbyists down and they were lobbying for things that were actually hurting seniors. It would actually not be good for seniors. I started looking at AARP and go, wait a minute, you're not the company that I thought you were. And that is when somebody said, you know, there's got to be a better way to do this. And they started AMAC, AMAC. It stands for the Association of METO American citizens. It's not only a better choice than AARP, it's the best choice. You're going to get

all the discounts to the car insurance hotels, roadside assistance, dental plans, even cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have. It'll make your life easier, save you money. And here's an exact example of a company doing what we were just talking about. Just saying you actually matter. Right. And they believe the same things that you believe and they will fight the good fight. So become a member today. The benefits are great. The cause is even greater. Join now at amac.us slash beck that's amac.us slash beck amac it's better better for you better for america you're listening to glenbeck hello and welcome to the glenbeck program uh when did the this is how little i watch tv when did the abc undecider voter town hall happen

Right? There was one... Is this a Trump town hall or is this a... No, this is the undecided voters selected by ABC to participate in a town hall, yes, with President Trump. Yeah, that was this week, this past week at some point. It was last week at some point. Okay. So, and then Biden did one and two.

And like, Biden's questions seemed a little more favorable from the audience, shockingly. So, you know, it's a little crazy is maybe not so shockingly. Apparently some of the undecided voters were very decided. One had posted before, before the undecided ABC show. Trump is an effing moron, a swine, a pig. I feel sorry for First Lady Melania Trump called voters losers for the wall on the U.S. border with Mexico. That doesn't sound like an undecided voter to me.

But that's the screening process, I guess, of ABC News.
