Trump leads Biden in nearly every presidential poll in 5 of 6 battleground states, and is on track to win in 5 out of 6 of them, except for Wisconsin. Is this a good or bad sign for the Democrats? And what will happen if President Trump goes to trial in the New York case against him?
00:04:08.240Others say it was pretty close on target for what it really is.
00:04:13.580But if he goes to jail, how much does this change?
00:04:20.540Well, I was really happy to see the New York Times point out that if he goes to jail, he loses all five of those swing states then that he otherwise would win.
00:04:30.640And so if he's convicted and goes to jail, he won't win those swing states.
00:04:36.300And they were really, really great at pointing that out.
00:05:05.140The only way it probably would be true is if he were kept off the ballot in those states as a result of being in prison.
00:05:12.580The only way, the only way, and I think you would go to the Supreme Court on this, the only way that would happen is if he were convicted in the January 6th stuff.
00:05:25.740You think that one, because I can't imagine people are going to be like, well, he took too many documents from his office and he put them in a bathroom, therefore he shouldn't be president.
00:06:44.220I mean, I've seen conversations, I can't remember who was, who did a piece on this, but with the African-American community.
00:06:56.700And it might actually help him in the African-American community.
00:07:03.000Not because they want, you know, somebody who's, you know, a felon in.
00:07:08.520They see injustice and all of the people they think, many people, have been used and abused by the system and thrown into prison.
00:07:20.620It's sort of a, they connect with the oppression.
00:07:22.520They connect with the oppression and they look at that and go, oh my gosh, he's now one of us.
00:07:28.740And look, you know, Donald Trump can pull off these magic tricks that no one else could do.
00:07:33.760I mean, like he can, he can be a multi-billionaire in a giant skyscraper and not only convince people he's a man of the people, but also that he's oppressed.
00:07:56.560I mean, he really can, he is a magician when it comes to politics.
00:07:59.900And that's the thing when you look at that, the movement behind him long term, there have been very few people who are able to pull that off other than him, right?
00:08:11.200Like all, a lot of these candidates that he puts up for these and he praises don't do that well because they don't have whatever he has, right?
00:08:19.040He, Donald Trump has something somewhat unique.
00:08:22.460This is not something, this is not breaking news.
00:08:24.120The guy's a pretty unique dude and he's able to pull things off that other politicians or candidates cannot.
00:08:30.560He's been the only one who's really been able to do it.
00:08:32.800I mean, there's some examples of people who have similar viewpoints as him that have done okay.
00:08:37.520But really, you know, it's, it's, there's a, there's something magical in the recipe there that he has that no one else has.
00:08:45.680And he will remind you of that if you ask him.
00:08:47.320Can you imagine what's going to happen if he is removed from the ballots in a lot of these states?
00:09:13.460Do you think, even if he gets convicted and if he's put in prison of some sort, I mean, I think that that line is, makes the country unrecognizable.
00:09:27.180I don't, I don't know how people can react, would react to that.
00:09:46.080Well, this is, this is what, um, they impeached him over.
00:09:50.900The Democrats said he was going to a foreign, uh, uh, um, entity, Ukraine, and trying to get dirt on his cannon, on his opponent to be able to, you know, make sure he went to jail.
00:10:31.000Um, which was really, really a joke, but if they had done this and tried to go after him and somehow proven that he did something wrong or whatever, like it may have been more acceptable to people to wait until he's running and winning.
00:10:43.520And then be like, Oh, by the way, we've got a bunch of charges from like 12 different states.
00:10:51.400Like, like it's so transparent that people have to be able to see through that.
00:10:56.940I'd think, but you know, I don't know.
00:10:58.540I get surprised with the American people often.
00:11:00.380So from Texas, the Democrat from Texas, uh, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, uh, is worried that voters feelings will result in a vote for Trump.
00:12:05.460I mean, just the, the standard here of first of all, being worried about somebody's feelings over facts coming from a progressive Democrat.
00:12:32.740You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:35.380So we've been talking about the New York times poll that has come out and give me a snapshot of that just to recap, Stu.
00:12:49.680So basically there is a, it was a poll of swing states, which in my view is a better way of doing these polls than like a national number.
00:12:56.440Because in reality, we all know that, you know, Donald Trump is going to win Idaho and the fact that they can pull a few votes out of that to make it a national number.
00:13:46.520Um, but when it comes to these, uh, five states, uh, six states, excuse me, you have a situation where Joe Biden is losing five of them.
00:13:56.780And, uh, by some of them, very large margins, Nevada by 10 to Donald Trump.
00:14:02.680Now, Nevada of these swing states is probably one of the more difficult ones for Republicans to win.
00:14:07.440It's the more, one of the more blue states out of these, um, Georgia, you have Trump by six, Arizona, Trump by five, Michigan, Trump by five.
00:14:21.640Um, and then finally, Wisconsin, which is actually polled, has been one of those states that has in polling been off more than almost every other state.
00:14:32.180Almost always, Wisconsin seems to look more positive for Democrats and it winds up being in the actual election.
00:14:38.460And that's important to remember, but Wisconsin, uh, here was Biden plus two.
00:14:43.060Now, uh, the other candidates, they did DeSantis and Haley in these polls as well.
00:14:47.840Both DeSantis and Haley win Wisconsin comfortably, actually.
00:14:52.300And neither DeSantis or Haley lose any state against Joe Biden, any of these six.
00:14:58.660That's not, that has not been something that's been talked about as much.
00:15:01.160There are two states in which DeSantis is even with, uh, Joe Biden, but both Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis either win or are tied in all six of these states.
00:15:10.800This is the most bizarre, um, just the, just the most bizarre primary I've ever seen in my lifetime.
00:20:58.980He has been strangely unwilling to brag about the Alaska project.
00:21:04.140As Matthew Iglesias noted in a recent Substack newsletter, Biden seems more focused on avoiding criticism from climate activists than on winning over swing voters who can help reelect arguably the most climate friendly president ever.
00:21:18.260Again, Democrats speaking to Democrats, ignore some of the context here.
00:24:54.780It's very late to change horses and a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict.
00:25:00.080And Biden's team says his resolve is firm to run.
00:25:04.340I'm justly proud of his accomplishments.
00:25:08.300However, his poll numbers send tremors of doubt, not bedwetting, legitimate doubt.
00:25:15.800Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws, and institution or democracy should be disqualifying.
00:25:28.560But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore.
00:25:33.700Only Joe Biden can make this decision.
00:25:36.520If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
00:25:40.900What he needs to decide is whether that is wise, whether it is in his best interest or the country's.
00:26:13.300Never before has any country in battle shot out of the sky a ballistic missile outside of the atmosphere.
00:26:27.320Apparently, the Houthis launched from Yemen a missile that flew 1,000 miles over the Arabian Peninsula on the way to its target.
00:26:42.500It left our atmosphere, was in space, and Israel used its aero missile defense system to shoot down a ballistic missile outside of Earth's atmosphere, believed to be the first combat ever to take place in space.
00:27:18.460But the odds on that would be very high.
00:27:20.300I feel like Houthis would not be the top of the list of that particular equation, but there you go.
00:27:27.420Yemen's Houthis also released footage purporting to show the missile being launched as part of a barrage of drones and other long-range weapons aimed at Israeli towns and cities.
00:27:36.240Can I ask you, the Houthis, what is their main source of income there?
00:27:53.620I mean, what is it that they produce that allows them to have a defense industry that is working on ballistic missile systems?
00:30:54.200So, anyway, you know, as they were trying to take down the gates of the White House, and then they went to the back gate or the side gate of the White House, and they had these two big, you know, white columns, and then the gates that actually open up.
00:31:10.440And they took red paint, and everybody dipped their hands in red paint, and then put that red paint on the two columns on each side.
