00:00:00.520 So, uh, Stu.

00:00:05.080 Fabulous weekend.

00:00:06.260 Almost nothing but bloody, you know, uh, handprints on the gates of the White House.

00:00:11.940 But other than that, almost nothing happened.

00:00:14.480 Yeah, I noticed we didn't get to spend a lot of time on the Philadelphia Eagles victory over the Dallas Cowboys. 0.85

00:00:19.020 Yeah, gosh darn it.

00:00:19.660 But, hey, we did have the first, not a test, 0.93

00:00:24.000 the first actual missile, ballistic missile, shot out of space.

00:00:32.220 First space war ever happened this weekend.

00:00:36.440 And if you had Israel versus the Houthis in the office poll, you won. 0.99

00:00:44.300 They were the ones that tested that.

00:00:46.700 So, big show for you coming up in just a second.

00:00:49.460 First, brought to you by Relief Factor.

00:01:29.760 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:36.260 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:38.620 We're glad you're here.

00:01:39.580 Thank you so much.

00:01:40.400 We're just talking about the polls of Trump leading Biden now in nearly every battleground state.

00:01:48.620 He is leading in every battleground state.

00:01:50.960 Five out of six, I think.

00:01:51.860 Yeah, except for Wisconsin.

00:01:55.360 And could you look into and break this down at all on demographics?

00:02:01.200 Yeah, I mean, it's not good for Joe Biden.

00:02:04.540 Again, the Democratic voting base assumes 95-ish percent of black voters, 90%, 85% of Hispanic voters.

00:02:16.800 That's how they get into power.

00:02:18.640 They just dominate these groups by so much, it's overwhelming.

00:02:21.900 Well, Donald Trump in this poll has 22% support among African-Americans.

00:02:28.720 This would be a modern-day first for a Republican.

00:02:32.340 A sizable improvement over the 8% he had in the same states in 2020.

00:02:37.060 Wow.

00:02:38.120 And a Hispanic voter...

00:02:39.380 Where was it?

00:02:40.280 Do you know in 2016?

00:02:42.040 It wasn't that high.

00:02:43.040 I don't have it off the top of my head.

00:02:43.320 No, it wasn't that high.

00:02:45.060 16 or 12 or something like that.

00:02:47.740 Yeah, it was right around there, I would say.

00:02:49.980 That sounds about right from memory.

00:02:52.400 Hispanic voters as well.

00:02:54.560 Of course, you know, he earned 28% of Hispanic voters in 2016.

00:03:01.640 In 2020, it rose to 36%.

00:03:04.420 Wow.

00:03:04.920 Trump now has 42% in this poll of Hispanic swing state voters.

00:03:09.400 It's a little bit of a different population.

00:03:10.760 There's some asterisks involved in all of that.

00:03:13.320 But generally speaking, it's showing that the multicultural base of the Democratic Party is eroding in a major way.

00:03:22.120 And largely, it's because of Joe Biden.

00:03:23.580 I mean, they look at everything he's done, and they say, number one, he's too old, and he doesn't know what he's doing.

00:03:29.460 He doesn't have the mental acuity.

00:03:30.380 That's asked in this poll specifically, and they don't think he has it.

00:03:33.660 And then also, all these things like inflation, the stuff that we complain about all the time, hits these populations really hard.

00:03:41.080 Really hard.

00:03:42.220 Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed has joined us now.

00:03:45.580 Pat, President Trump is going in to testify today in the New York trial.

00:03:56.180 And this is the one where, you know, he was committing fraud because he said his house was worth, you know, more than it was.

00:04:04.920 Well, they say more than it was.

00:04:08.240 Others say it was pretty close on target for what it really is.

00:04:13.580 But if he goes to jail, how much does this change?

00:04:20.540 Well, 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.

00:04:30.640 And so if he's convicted and goes to jail, he won't win those swing states.

00:04:36.300 And they were really, really great at pointing that out.

00:04:40.540 It really wasn't even that strong.

00:04:42.000 It was only like, what, 6% of people switch their votes if he's in jail.

00:04:45.400 Yeah.

00:04:45.860 It didn't make that much difference.

00:04:47.860 Yeah.

00:04:48.120 If he's in jail, literally.

00:04:50.340 That would be enough to cost him the election in these polls.

00:04:53.220 At least, again, this is just a poll.

00:04:55.240 But still, it would be enough.

00:04:56.980 However, I'm not sure that.

00:04:58.460 That's a pretty low number.

00:05:00.100 Yeah.

00:05:00.380 And I'm not sure that that's true.

00:05:02.800 Yeah.

00:05:02.980 I'm not sure either.

00:05:03.700 I'm not sure that that's true.

00:05:05.140 The 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.

00:05:12.580 The 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.

00:05:25.340 Insurrection.

00:05:25.740 You 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.

00:05:36.300 I don't think that's real.

00:05:37.180 I don't think the American people think, like, care that much about that type of thing.

00:05:40.960 January 6th thing, I think they do.

00:05:42.600 I know maybe, you know, we obviously have looked into this and talk about it all the time.

00:05:46.880 Talking about some moderate voter, though, in a swing state.

00:05:49.400 I think that would have an effect if he was convicted over it.

00:05:52.280 It would be interesting to see.

00:05:53.740 I don't think it would be positive.

00:05:54.660 I think it would be hard to run a campaign from prison.

00:05:57.940 And look, we all know this is what they want.

00:06:00.880 It has been done before.

00:06:01.560 Oh, it has been done before, but not successfully.

00:06:03.500 No.

00:06:03.920 Not successfully.

00:06:04.240 But it was a communist.

00:06:05.420 It was a communist.

00:06:06.400 Yes.

00:06:06.980 Multiple communists, actually.

00:06:08.420 Peace and Freedom Party has run, you know, candidates for prison multiple times.

00:06:12.360 Right.

00:06:12.680 But generally speaking, very difficult to do.

00:06:16.400 And suboptimal would be one way.

00:06:18.580 And, like, when we talk about this, we always talk about the actual merits of these cases.

00:06:23.200 Does that make any difference at all?

00:06:25.400 The merits of the cases have nothing to do with this story.

00:06:28.060 No.

00:06:28.240 The story is about whether these people are going to throw him in prison, whether the merits are there or not.

00:06:32.520 Correct.

00:06:32.860 And that's what you have to worry about if you're Donald Trump or the Republican Party.

00:06:36.700 It's going to be hard.

00:06:37.600 That's going to be a difficult task to achieve, to be elected from prison.

00:06:41.640 And I don't know if they can do it.

00:06:42.700 But I will tell you.

00:06:43.380 But it's not impossible.

00:06:44.220 I mean, I've seen conversations, I can't remember who was, who did a piece on this, but with the African-American community.

00:06:56.700 And it might actually help him in the African-American community.

00:07:03.000 Not because they want, you know, somebody who's, you know, a felon in.

00:07:08.520 They see injustice and all of the people they think, many people, have been used and abused by the system and thrown into prison.

00:07:20.620 It's sort of a, they connect with the oppression.

00:07:22.520 They connect with the oppression and they look at that and go, oh my gosh, he's now one of us.

00:07:28.740 And look, you know, Donald Trump can pull off these magic tricks that no one else could do.

00:07:33.760 I 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.

00:07:42.680 He's just able to do it.

00:07:44.020 But he's actually, I mean, yes, he has his own plane, but he eats McDonald's.

00:07:49.060 Yeah, I know.

00:07:49.620 You know what I mean?

00:07:50.260 I think it works for him.

00:07:51.200 He's a strange kind of combination of everything.

00:07:54.640 Yeah, he is.

00:07:55.460 It's fascinating to see.

00:07:56.560 I mean, he really can, he is a magician when it comes to politics.

00:07:59.900 And 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?

00:08:11.200 Like 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?

00:08:19.040 He, Donald Trump has something somewhat unique.

00:08:22.460 This is not something, this is not breaking news.

00:08:24.120 The guy's a pretty unique dude and he's able to pull things off that other politicians or candidates cannot.

00:08:30.560 He's been the only one who's really been able to do it.

00:08:32.800 I mean, there's some examples of people who have similar viewpoints as him that have done okay.

00:08:37.520 But 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.

00:08:45.680 And he will remind you of that if you ask him.

00:08:47.320 Can you imagine what's going to happen if he is removed from the ballots in a lot of these states?

00:08:53.120 I mean, the chaos.

00:08:54.500 Oh my gosh, that's, that's, that's, it would, it would be civil war.

00:08:58.560 It would be civil war.

00:09:00.200 There'd be, there, you cannot do that.

00:09:02.660 They're doing, the Democrats are doing everything they can to thwart the election process.

00:09:09.360 And they'd love to see chaos like that.

00:09:11.000 Oh yeah, they would.

00:09:11.840 They'd love it.

00:09:12.180 Oh yeah.

00:09:13.060 Absolutely.

00:09:13.460 Do 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.

00:09:27.180 I don't, I don't know how people can react, would react to that.

00:09:30.160 It's banana republic stuff.

00:09:31.360 It really, it really is.

00:09:32.820 And it would be hard to argue anything other than that.

00:09:35.440 You're putting a guy who's leading to be president in prison so that he can't be president.

00:09:41.280 I mean, that is like legitimately what happens in Venezuela.

00:09:45.580 Right.

00:09:46.080 Well, this is, this is what, um, they impeached him over.

00:09:50.900 The 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.

00:10:07.980 That's exactly what Biden is doing.

00:10:11.200 Yeah.

00:10:11.740 It really is remarkable.

00:10:14.040 And I, I don't know.

00:10:15.660 I mean, I, like, it would be one thing if they did this in the, in immediate, the immediate aftermath, right?

00:10:22.860 Like if right after January 6th happened, like they tried the quick, you know, sort of, uh, express impeachment, if you will.

00:10:30.760 Yes.

00:10:31.000 Um, 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.

00:10:43.520 And then be like, Oh, by the way, we've got a bunch of charges from like 12 different states.

00:10:47.920 Everything he's ever done is wrong.

00:10:49.540 We all found out today.

00:10:51.400 Like, like it's so transparent that people have to be able to see through that.

00:10:56.940 I'd think, but you know, I don't know.

00:10:58.540 I get surprised with the American people often.

00:11:00.380 So from Texas, the Democrat from Texas, uh, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, uh, is worried that voters feelings will result in a vote for Trump.

00:11:13.860 Oh no, not feelings, not feelings.

00:11:16.720 Okay.

00:11:17.140 She's worried about the feelings and not the facts.

00:11:22.220 Well, you know why she's worried about the feelings though, is because all black people, uh, don't know how they're actually doing. 1.00

00:11:30.700 They don't, that, those are the facts they don't understand. 0.97

00:11:34.040 They don't understand.

00:11:34.980 They don't understand two things that they're doing way better than they think they are.

00:11:40.080 The other thing is they just don't understand our system. 1.00

00:11:43.720 They're too stupid. 1.00

00:11:45.080 Oh yeah. 1.00

00:11:45.780 That's really, that's what you see color of their skin.

00:11:48.920 Okay.

00:11:49.280 Yes.

00:11:49.900 Wow.

00:11:50.120 That is interesting.

00:11:50.880 Well, she said also that they, they feel as though they're not doing well.

00:11:56.660 Right.

00:11:57.180 No, but they are.

00:11:58.520 She's got to tell them.

00:11:59.720 Yes, you are.

00:12:00.560 Yeah.

00:12:00.680 Cause it's the facts that yes, you are.

00:12:03.500 Isn't that incredible?

00:12:05.080 It's unbelievable.

00:12:05.460 I mean, just the, the standard here of first of all, being worried about somebody's feelings over facts coming from a progressive Democrat.

00:12:13.820 Yeah.

00:12:14.240 Where all of our feelings are valid.

00:12:17.260 Uh, nope, nope.

00:12:19.320 They're no, they're not.

00:12:20.320 And now when they can't change the feelings, they have to change the facts.

00:12:25.580 I mean, it is, it's nuts.

00:12:32.740 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:12:35.380 So 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.

00:12:49.680 So 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.

00:12:56.440 Because 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.

00:13:06.440 Isn't all that important.

00:13:07.560 I'm worried about Texas, quite honestly, lots of new people in Texas.

00:13:15.180 You, if they can, I mean, if there's any kind of fraud in this state and by the way, look, they're challenging, um, Ted Cruz.

00:13:24.240 Well, they challenged Ted Cruz before and he won.

00:13:27.540 Yeah.

00:13:28.620 Beto O'Rourke threw more money at it than you could ever imagine.

00:13:31.440 And he still lost.

00:13:32.300 Like again, and when it comes to the fraud thing, look, that's almost a separate topic, right?

00:13:38.040 Like if you're, I'm looking at, you can only look at this at what's actually going to happen.

00:13:42.600 If they do some trickery, what are you going to do?

00:13:45.340 There's no way you can predict that.

00:13:46.520 Um, 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.

00:13:56.780 And, uh, by some of them, very large margins, Nevada by 10 to Donald Trump.

00:14:02.680 Now, Nevada of these swing states is probably one of the more difficult ones for Republicans to win.

00:14:07.440 It'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.

00:14:16.280 Pennsylvania, Trump by four.

00:14:18.380 If Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania by four points, he's going to win the election.

00:14:21.500 Yes.

00:14:21.640 Um, 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.

00:14:32.180 Almost always, Wisconsin seems to look more positive for Democrats and it winds up being in the actual election.

00:14:38.460 And that's important to remember, but Wisconsin, uh, here was Biden plus two.

00:14:43.060 Now, uh, the other candidates, they did DeSantis and Haley in these polls as well.

00:14:47.840 Both DeSantis and Haley win Wisconsin comfortably, actually.

00:14:52.300 And neither DeSantis or Haley lose any state against Joe Biden, any of these six.

00:14:58.660 That's not, that has not been something that's been talked about as much.

00:15:01.160 There 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.

00:15:10.800 This is the most bizarre, um, just the, just the most bizarre primary I've ever seen in my lifetime.

00:15:18.940 So weird.

00:15:19.560 I mean, it is, you've got a guy who is, they're doing everything they can to put him in jail.

00:15:26.000 He may be in jail by the time the, the, uh, election comes around.

00:15:32.180 And I don't honestly know if that's going to help or hurt him.

00:15:35.460 Um, I, I really don't know.

00:15:38.160 Um, it's, it's crazy.

00:15:40.220 Think of that.

00:15:41.000 Just that.

00:15:41.400 Yeah.

00:15:41.540 All the things that are strange, right?

00:15:43.580 You have a guy who may go to prison, right?

00:15:45.840 It may help him.

00:15:46.660 It may hurt him.

00:15:47.840 The leading candidate is not participating in the debates.

00:15:51.440 Like that's a weird thing, right?

00:15:52.600 The leading candidate is a former president of the United States.

00:15:56.340 That's really weird, right?

00:15:57.740 Like when it's not in consecutive terms, like that is, it's happened, but it's pretty odd.

00:16:02.960 You have on the democratic side, a guy that is overwhelmingly disliked by his own voters

00:16:09.960 in this poll, more than half of Biden's voters say he's too old to be president.

00:16:16.340 Listen to this.

00:16:16.920 His approval on the economy in the battleground states economy, his approval is 39%.

00:16:24.340 That's catastrophic.

00:16:25.360 With 57% disapproving.

00:16:28.580 CBS and I think it was CNN just took a poll about, are we in the wrong direction, right

00:16:34.720 direction?

00:16:35.920 74% in one poll and 75% in another poll say we're on the wrong track.

00:16:43.400 That's historic.

00:16:44.940 Um, he has 9% strong approval on the economy and 48% registering strong disapproval.

00:16:57.960 It's worse than a five to one ratio of strong, you know, anti, uh, on the economy five to

00:17:06.460 one.

00:17:06.860 Also separate polling for Gallup going back seven decades, Republicans have never before

00:17:15.680 enjoyed a larger edge on the primary issue of the day.

00:17:19.300 The economy seven decades, 70 years.

00:17:24.720 They've not seen polling like this and through Reagan.

00:17:28.400 Yeah.

00:17:29.300 Think about that.

00:17:30.660 40% of people that are polled right now say they're afraid their income is not going to

00:17:37.100 be able to cover the house and the food and everything else because of inflation.

00:17:41.820 And they know who's responsible.

00:17:44.440 They are blaming it on Bidenomics.

00:17:48.140 Um, real, real incomes, uh, declining real incomes make the staples of life difficult to

00:17:54.680 finance and housing affordability has never been worse.

00:17:57.620 This is according to Goldman Sachs, the first time in history, the average apartment rent

00:18:04.180 is $2,000 a month.

00:18:07.560 The average apartment up from 1600 when Biden took office, battleground state voters overwhelmingly

00:18:16.460 blame poor policies for this financial squeeze.

00:18:20.380 71% now say it's government policy that has contributed to this rise in rent with 50% of

00:18:27.620 50% blaming the government a great deal.

00:18:32.360 That's, that's pretty significant.

00:18:35.680 Yeah.

00:18:36.280 Yeah.

00:18:36.560 I'd say it is.

00:18:37.560 And, you know, you, when you look at the economy, there's some interesting breakdowns.

00:18:41.400 When you look at the economy, they're all bad for Biden.

00:18:43.560 There's nothing there.

00:18:44.720 You know, even people who didn't like Trump are saying, well, you know, look, at least

00:18:48.780 the economy was good when he was president.

00:18:50.620 If you go back, you know, Glenn, 30 or 40 years, the only two times that people were

00:18:56.000 really optimistic on the economy overall were like 1998 to 2000, the end of that, of the

00:19:03.940 Clinton era when the internet was kicking in.

00:19:06.000 Correct.

00:19:06.360 Right before the recession that, by the way, started when Clinton was president.

00:19:09.600 Um, uh, but people didn't know that during the election.

00:19:12.760 And then secondarily was the period 2018, 17 to 2019, or excuse me, 2018 to March, 2020

00:19:20.960 is really the cutoff was March, 2020.

00:19:23.640 We talked about it.

00:19:25.200 Everything was going so well that only some catastrophic event at the end of his term.

00:19:31.920 And lo and behold, a catastrophic event.

00:19:34.960 Yeah, listen to this guy.

00:19:35.920 This is an interesting breakdown from the times, um, on, on the economy.

00:19:40.680 A pound of bacon costs an average of $7 and eight cents in the U S 21% more than when Biden

00:19:46.280 took office.

00:19:47.780 21%.

00:19:48.340 The Biden, uh, the price of coffee beans has risen 33%.

00:19:52.080 A gallon of gas is 72% more expensive.

00:19:55.500 And because inflation affects everyone, it can damage the public mood more than any, almost

00:19:59.340 anything else.

00:19:59.900 And in parentheses, yes, the inflation has fallen sharply this year, but most part,

00:20:04.960 prices have not fallen.

00:20:06.080 Only their rate of increase has, this is something we've made a point on this a hundred times,

00:20:10.600 but you could see that they're like trying to baby spoon feed this to their actual democratic

00:20:15.580 audience here and saying, Hey, the reason why this stuff isn't working here is the rate

00:20:21.460 might be coming down a little bit, but the prices are still increasing.

00:20:24.200 It's a rate of increase.

00:20:26.200 Um, but listen to the, I thought this was fascinating.

00:20:28.560 A president can't do much to bring down prices in the short term.

00:20:32.440 Yet Biden has taken steps to reduce energy prices.

00:20:36.140 He approved.

00:20:37.580 And again, this is a, this is a Democrat, this is a Democrat talking to other Democrats.

00:20:41.980 Think of it in that perspective.

00:20:43.140 All right.

00:20:43.360 So we're in, we're in Alice in Wonderland.

00:20:45.600 He approved an enormous new oil project on federal land in Alaska while enacting billions

00:20:51.080 of dollars of subsidies for clean energy.

00:20:53.060 Now, again, that doesn't, we know that doesn't bring down, but the Alaska thing is kind of

00:20:57.480 interesting.

00:20:58.980 He has been strangely unwilling to brag about the Alaska project.

00:21:04.140 As 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.

00:21:18.260 Again, Democrats speaking to Democrats, ignore some of the context here.

00:21:22.400 My eyes are bleeding.

00:21:23.460 But it's interesting, right?

00:21:24.360 I feel like the guy in Casino Royale where blood is just trickling out of the side of my eye, you know?

00:21:30.040 But I mean, if you think about it from just a political standpoint, you have this one thing in Alaska.

00:21:35.780 You'd think in this moment you're touting that to swing states, right?

00:21:39.380 You're going crazy, making it do a much bigger deal than it actually is.

00:21:42.920 There's a similar dynamic on immigration.

00:21:45.920 Undocumented migration into the U.S. has surged after Biden took office, partly in response to his welcoming campaign rhetoric.

00:21:52.460 That's one way to put it.

00:21:53.740 Listen to that.

00:21:54.980 That's Democrats to Democrats. 0.70

00:21:56.940 They don't say that mainstream.

00:21:58.420 What rhetoric?

00:21:59.320 We weren't.

00:22:00.200 No, we were not inviting them in.

00:22:01.640 What are you talking about?

00:22:02.500 Sent a strong message.

00:22:04.080 Yeah.

00:22:04.640 Many Americans are unhappy about the surge, although Biden has since taken steps to reduce the surge.

00:22:10.300 Again, not how I would describe it.

00:22:13.920 However, although Biden has since taken steps to reduce the surge, he rarely emphasizes these popular steps.

00:22:20.640 These are steps that pull well with the American people.

00:22:23.300 He seems more focused on progressive activists than swing voters.

00:22:28.360 Yes.

00:22:28.600 So what does that mean, Glenn?

00:22:29.900 Like, why wouldn't he, politically speaking, go to the middle, say, I swear I'm doing stuff.

00:22:36.880 I know you don't see it, but I swear I'm doing it.

00:22:38.700 Instead, he's worried about criticism from crazy left-wing activists. 0.96

00:22:43.200 Because crazy left-wing activists put him into office. 0.92

00:22:47.320 It was the unions and the crazy left-wing advocates that are the ones who are also backing him up with muscle. 0.73

00:22:59.040 That's why he's now saying, you know, Israel, you should be nicer to Hamas. 0.95

00:23:04.620 Maybe you should slow down because he's lost or in danger of losing the people that are behind.

00:23:14.420 Did you notice the signs?

00:23:15.880 Did anybody look at the signs that were on the streets of Washington, D.C. and New York and every place else this weekend?

00:23:23.840 You're not talking about the ones where they were painting Stars of David on the buildings, right?

00:23:29.880 No, no, no, where they killed that woman?

00:23:32.020 Yeah, no, uh-uh.

00:23:33.960 No, I'm talking about the printed signs about, you know, a free Palestine.

00:23:40.000 The bottom of it, go look at the pictures.

00:23:44.340 Provided by the Socialist Workers Party.

00:23:49.060 Okay?

00:23:50.000 This is a socialist-run thing.

00:23:52.900 So you've got all of that wrapped up into the Palestinian thing. 0.89

00:23:58.020 He cannot afford to lose his muscle.

00:24:01.520 He can't afford to lose those advocates because those are the strongest.

00:24:08.000 What's going to happen is you're going to have those people or you're going to have the people who are like, you know what?

00:24:14.100 I just, I'm not even going to vote.

00:24:15.980 Because that's the way, I think that's the way your supporters are getting on Biden.

00:24:23.240 If they don't flip, they're just not motivated because he's not doing anything good for them.

00:24:29.700 How much of this is Biden guarding his flank for a challenger like a Gavin Newsom?

00:24:37.920 Like someone else who's going to come out of the woodwork and say, you know what?

00:24:40.940 Oh, I think, I think a great deal of it.

00:24:43.480 A great deal.

00:24:44.000 Listen to this from Axelrod.

00:24:46.620 He said...

00:24:48.660 David Axelrod, the former, what was he?

00:24:50.680 Obama administration official.

00:24:53.400 I don't remember his exact role.

00:24:54.780 It's very late to change horses and a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict.

00:25:00.080 And Biden's team says his resolve is firm to run.

00:25:04.340 I'm justly proud of his accomplishments.

00:25:08.300 However, his poll numbers send tremors of doubt, not bedwetting, legitimate doubt.

00:25:15.800 Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws, and institution or democracy should be disqualifying.

00:25:28.560 But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore.

00:25:33.700 Only Joe Biden can make this decision.

00:25:36.520 If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party.

00:25:40.900 What he needs to decide is whether that is wise, whether it is in his best interest or the country's.

00:25:48.860 Wow.

00:25:49.500 He's got to have somebody behind him.

00:25:51.380 He's a power...

00:25:52.120 He's a...

00:25:52.640 He's a big, you know, group of connections inside the Democratic Party.

00:25:57.020 This isn't just some guy saying this.

00:25:59.040 This is a big deal.

00:25:59.620 This is Axelrod.

00:26:00.940 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:08.360 Hey.

00:26:08.840 Hey, here's a first.

00:26:13.300 Never before has any country in battle shot out of the sky a ballistic missile outside of the atmosphere.

00:26:27.320 Apparently, the Houthis launched from Yemen a missile that flew 1,000 miles over the Arabian Peninsula on the way to its target.

00:26:42.500 It 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.

00:27:01.340 Oh, that's good.

00:27:01.900 So, whoever had first battle in space, the Houthis versus Israel, you're a winner. 1.00

00:27:10.880 Come claim your prize.

00:27:13.240 Star Wars has begun.

00:27:15.380 Who knew?

00:27:17.100 That would be a very...

00:27:18.460 But the odds on that would be very high.

00:27:20.300 I feel like Houthis would not be the top of the list of that particular equation, but there you go.

00:27:27.420 Yemen'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.

00:27:36.240 Can I ask you, the Houthis, what is their main source of income there?

00:27:53.620 I mean, what is it that they produce that allows them to have a defense industry that is working on ballistic missile systems?

00:28:06.320 I'm just...

00:28:07.860 I'm only...

00:28:09.200 I mean, I know what the Houthis do for a living.

00:28:12.260 You know, that big business in Yemen, which is...

00:28:15.620 Oil and gas.

00:28:18.220 Oil and gas.

00:28:19.340 Yeah.

00:28:20.320 Their oil and gas?

00:28:21.360 Income from oil production constitutes 70% to 75% of government revenue and 90% of exports.

00:28:29.040 So, that's not necessarily specific to the Houthis, but it's specific to Yemen.

00:28:34.600 Yeah.

00:28:35.220 Okay.

00:28:35.800 But the Houthis are rebels, right?

00:28:40.440 I mean, I thought...

00:28:41.740 I think the Houthis are rebels.

00:28:43.760 I mean, I just keep seeing, like, these sand scenes from Star Wars, you know, with the animals that go...

00:28:51.940 And, you know, they're riding on the...

00:28:55.620 That's how I'm picturing now, and I know that's very ignorant of me.

00:29:00.520 But...

00:29:00.940 I have a feeling has been heard somewhere in the Houthi range at some point.

00:29:09.160 I mean, the...

00:29:10.500 Yes, they're rebels.

00:29:11.860 I mean, but...

00:29:12.620 I don't...

00:29:13.000 That's where they...

00:29:13.940 You have to think they're coming...

00:29:15.240 It's funding from inside the country still.

00:29:17.420 Yeah.

00:29:17.820 Right, and that funding comes...

00:29:19.840 Or maybe...

00:29:20.720 Iran.

00:29:22.680 Iran.

00:29:23.740 Iran.

00:29:24.180 Iran.

00:29:24.400 Now, if Iran... 0.72

00:29:26.180 If the Houthis have a ballistic missile...

00:29:30.940 And they're getting maybe technology, I don't know.

00:29:35.300 I'm sure the Houthis have an unbelievable scientific community.

00:29:40.240 Great IT department.

00:29:41.440 Sure, sure, sure.

00:29:44.140 And...

00:29:44.860 And...

00:29:47.260 And...

00:29:48.300 So, if the Houthis have it, I would imagine the Iranians could put a ballistic missile into the sky. 0.99

00:29:56.440 And they...

00:29:56.640 One would believe, yes.

00:29:57.580 They also have a, you know, a nuke.

00:30:03.740 Well, not confirmed, right?

00:30:07.020 Well, I don't know.

00:30:07.920 I remember reading about a year ago that they were like 20 days away from being able to...

00:30:14.020 Yeah, being able to, right.

00:30:15.320 To build it.

00:30:16.220 And, you know, so that was about a year ago.

00:30:18.340 I mean, I'm sure they...

00:30:19.300 If they don't have it today, they'll have it soon, I'm sure.

00:30:21.880 And they also can also get them from places like North Korea.

00:30:25.860 Yeah.

00:30:26.220 Or probably China or Russia.

00:30:28.700 Yeah.

00:30:28.880 Yeah.

00:30:29.000 So, that's good.

00:30:29.640 So, we got that going for you.

00:30:31.860 Now, in just a personal note, you know, the pro-Palestinian supporters that were swarming outside the White House, chanting Allah Akbar.

00:30:41.300 You know, something that I just love, especially this time of year, to hear the chants of Allah Akbar ring through the streets, you know.

00:30:50.180 And it's beautiful.

00:30:51.560 Off those American maples.

00:30:52.920 Oh, it's so beautiful.

00:30:54.200 So, 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.

00:31:10.440 And 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.

00:31:22.180 Now, that happened Saturday night.

00:31:25.820 Now, I've seen a picture of it, which I would assume was Sunday, because it was daylight.

00:31:33.560 Was it the union rules that stopped the White House from having that painted at 2 o'clock in the morning?

00:31:43.860 Why would you leave bloody handprints all over the gates of the White House?

00:31:52.160 You get somebody with a gallon of white paint, and you paint that at 2 o'clock in the morning.

00:31:58.160 Or are they union rules?

00:32:01.140 I don't know.

00:32:02.060 Maybe union would just, you're not going to get a union guy to do that.

00:32:07.780 Okay, I would have volunteered.

00:32:09.120 It's the Biden White House.

00:32:10.680 I'm not a fan.

00:32:11.600 I would have volunteered to take the bloody handprints off of the gates of the White House. 0.99

00:32:18.440 What the hell is wrong with these people?

00:32:20.400 You'd think, at least someone gets out there with a power washer and gives it a go. 0.92

00:32:28.320 I mean, the whole point, think about every, this is symbolism, right?

00:32:31.720 Oh, yeah.

00:32:32.420 Symbolism.

00:32:32.920 Yeah.

00:32:33.200 The fact that they were out there shaking the fences of the White House grounds.

00:32:40.300 What are you going to do?

00:32:42.840 What are you going to do, honestly?

00:32:43.820 Is that a question you want an answer to?

00:32:46.380 No, I don't.

00:32:47.080 But I think America, you know, look, it's fascinating to watch because you mentioned,

00:32:51.400 let me go back to your comments last hour on what you would do if you were a leftist,

00:32:56.800 activist, extremist type looking to create chaos.

00:33:00.340 Sure.

00:33:00.720 You empower a movement like the pro-Hamas movement that is apparently alive and well in this country 0.82

00:33:07.060 to go out there and shake the fences of the White House.

00:33:12.460 Because let's just say, and this has happened many times, protests like that spiral out

00:33:17.620 of control, right?

00:33:18.660 It's, you know, I mean, you'd argue some people would say that's what happened on January 6th.

00:33:21.560 People were very upset.

00:33:22.860 You know, they didn't plan on going into the Capitol, but it did.

00:33:27.120 Black Lives Matter rallies.

00:33:28.780 Maybe they, you know, we all know there were some people who were there who were looking

00:33:31.900 to burn down buildings.

00:33:33.020 Many, though, were just pissed off about what happened and then got involved, got fired up.

00:33:37.980 Things spiraled out of control.

00:33:39.060 If something like that happens at the White House, if they rush the White House, right?

00:33:43.680 Let's just say. 0.95

00:33:45.000 They'd be shot. 0.99

00:33:45.740 They would be shot, but there might be thousands of them. 0.94

00:33:49.760 And you know what? 0.99

00:33:50.840 And they would be shot. 0.99

00:33:52.260 I hope we still have a Secret Service who would shoot a bunch of people who try to rush 1.00

00:33:58.140 the White House and kill the president. 0.99

00:33:59.780 I hope that still exists because that's the way it should be. 0.97

00:34:02.540 But what's going to happen in that situation is the American people, I think, even with

00:34:09.900 their distaste for this particular president, would support rally, would rally behind him,

00:34:17.020 number one, at some level.

00:34:18.920 And number two, would support somewhat draconian steps to make sure that does not happen again.

00:34:25.760 Oh, yeah.

00:34:26.020 You'd lose your freedom to protest in the streets, I think.

00:34:29.240 Go back to, you know, I hate to bring up the Nazis because that's what, but you got 0.69

00:34:34.060 to do it 46 times per episode on the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:36.960 We're contractually obligated to do so.

00:34:39.300 And if you go back to the Nazis, like, remember, how did Hitler really claim to take that mantle 0.76

00:34:46.820 that he had to take power?

00:34:48.580 It was the Reichstag fire.

00:34:49.300 It was the Reichstag fire, and it was, you know, the groups under him that initially

00:34:56.980 supported Hitler that came along and started doing terrible things. 0.85

00:35:01.620 And he said, I have to, I have to step up.

00:35:03.840 I have to do something here.

00:35:05.520 I have to, I have to expel these groups that are breaking, I have to break the Constitution

00:35:09.900 because of what they're doing.

00:35:11.960 People on supposedly his side.

00:35:13.840 This is top-down, bottom-up, inside-out.

00:35:17.300 This is exactly what I've been warning about since 2008.

00:35:21.800 You empower the people on the streets. 1.00

00:35:25.140 They're useful idiots. 1.00

00:35:27.020 You allow them to create chaos. 1.00

00:35:30.720 And then when the people cry out and say, enough is enough, then the government comes down

00:35:37.220 with draconian measures to crush them first, but crush everyone else as well.

00:35:45.640 So they'll take control.

00:35:47.740 That is, that's, that's the plan of leftists.

00:35:53.500 Top-down, bottom-up, inside-out.

00:35:56.760 That's what it is.

00:35:58.740 You know, the other thing on it is, uh, the Bubba effect.

00:36:04.480 We have a terrorist, uh, problem in this country.

00:36:12.020 If they, God forbid, do something like, I don't even want to say it, they do something,

00:36:19.320 uh, that has been done before.

00:36:23.020 In this country, people will lose their mind.

00:36:26.340 And do you think the federal government is going to, the one who just said, you know,

00:36:32.980 hey, we care about Islamophobia over, uh, anti-Semitism.

00:36:38.080 Do you think those people who opened up our border are going to have any credibility?

00:36:45.640 Any credibility?

00:36:47.700 Any authority?

00:36:48.780 This is what the military had been planning for.

00:36:52.820 I've been telling you that since 2008 too, called the Bubba effect.

00:36:57.380 And we are prime for all of those things.

00:37:01.620 That's why we just have to get down on our knees and pray.

00:37:04.860 Because this is going to take a miracle that only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could pull off. 0.98

00:37:10.360 It is.

00:37:11.520 And, um, we, we've got to, we've got to stop putting our faith in men and start putting our faith in God again.

00:37:19.780 Let's do everything we can to win the election.

00:37:22.980 Let's do everything we can to make sure that we are stable in our own lives.

00:37:28.280 But, uh, I'd get down on your knees and pray.

00:37:32.040 Because God is the only answer to this particular problem, I believe.

00:37:37.720 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na!

00:37:40.560 Na, na, na, na, na, na.
