Transcript
00:00:00.000
Today's podcast, we spent a lot of time on how weird J.D. Vance is and how you should embrace
00:00:06.260
that. Also, the unconstitutional things that are happening with the Supreme Court and also
00:00:15.620
where's the democracy part of the nomination of Kamala Harris. We explain how the system
00:00:22.560
is supposed to work and how it is working currently and why that's not a good thing.
00:00:29.260
Also, can somebody connect the dots with what's happening in Venezuela and the United States?
00:00:35.980
I mean, it's pretty clear, isn't it? All on today's podcast. Somewhere out there, very
00:00:42.840
close to where you are right now, there is a real estate agent that you can trust, a real
00:00:48.460
estate agent that will go out and get the job done for you. It is somebody that we have
00:00:54.620
vetted in my company, realestateagentsitrust.com, that will go out and they will work dedicated
00:01:03.440
to get you the best price for your home and the best price for your new home. They work
00:01:09.740

00:01:16.760

00:01:31.560
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:51.340
That's how we're starting the show today in this voice?
00:01:54.560
We're going to talk like cartoon people because I think everything that's happening in the
00:01:59.380
So that is where we are, I think, at this point. None of it seems real.
00:02:04.860
It is. It's the only way you can look at it. No, none of it seems real. And you're standing
00:02:09.840
off to the side. It's what was that science fiction or science fiction movie 2000 or something?
00:02:16.760
Remember when the guys were sitting in front of the screen?
00:02:19.660
Yes, yes, yes. I feel like those guys sitting in front of the screen just watching the world
00:02:25.440
unfold every day and go, this isn't going to work out well.
00:02:27.780
You know what I mean? It's just, it's nuts what's happening. And the fact that no one
00:02:35.960
can connect the dots. Now, I've always been a dot connector. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes
00:02:41.060
I'm wrong. But I always look at things and I can take things, different ideas and different
00:02:46.060
things that don't seem to be connected, but I can see them connected and then I can find
00:02:54.080
the connection to prove it to you many times. And that is a skill, I guess, or a curse, but
00:03:04.080
it appears to me no one has that skill. Or maybe it's that everybody's like, I don't want to
00:03:11.740
look at that. Why would I look at that? The Venezuela story. I don't know. Are there a
00:03:21.460
couple of dots we can connect here? Is there anything there that we can look at and go,
00:03:26.200
hmm, I wonder what we're doing here? They started, it was a rich country. It was a country where
00:03:34.460
they weren't eating the zoo animals, oh, just a few years ago. It was the third richest country in
00:03:42.280
the Western Hemisphere. Has oils and resources like nobody's business. Sound familiar? Okay,
00:03:50.560
let's just keep that one over there. Rich country, all kinds of resources could make it on their own
00:03:57.140
if they just wouldn't go corrupt and go to socialism. But what do they do? They go corrupt
00:04:05.840
and immediately go to socialism. How do they go to socialism? They begin to talk down democracy.
00:04:13.080
They begin to say, this republic, this constitution isn't right. And so Hugo Chavez, he is thrown in jail
00:04:23.040
by the president of Venezuela. And nobody thinks that's right. And he's like, how can I get out of
00:04:29.360
jail? And he gets out of jail and he runs again. And this time he wins. Why? Because generally the
00:04:36.940
people don't like it when you put their candidate in jail. They don't think that's fair. Is there
00:04:45.940
another dot we could connect? So then when he gets in, the first thing he does is he changes the makeup
00:04:53.280
of the Supreme Court. Wait a minute. I'm seeing another dot on the horizon. Then what does he do?
00:05:04.700
Well, then he starts talking about how we've just got to nationalize health care because health care
00:05:09.560
costs are out of sight. It's crazy. We can't get anybody to have health care. So we've got to nationalize
00:05:18.140
it. And it's going to save you like $2,000 per family every single year. And what does it do? It jacks
00:05:27.680
the price of health care through the roof. And then the health care system collapses and nobody can get
00:05:35.840
anything. Is there another dot we see? Then they start jacking with the oil because, well, these big
00:05:45.380
oil companies, they're just evil, you know. And there was corruption. Why was there corruption? Because
00:05:52.200
the government got involved with a private company. And when the government gets involved, then there's
00:06:00.640
all kinds of things that are going on behind the scenes that nobody knows. And everybody starts
00:06:05.900
enriching themselves at the upper level, but not anywhere down below. Is there another dot we could
00:06:16.160
connect? So then they hire a man of the people. They hire a guy that, you know, you know what? You know
00:06:27.640
what we need? Chavez is dead now. Gosh darn it. Miss him. But let's keep going down this road.
00:06:35.600
So they hire an expert, a guy who was a bus driver. He was a bus driver. He had no money.
00:06:49.380
You know, much like the Obamas. When he went into office, I'm sure he had student loans. He couldn't
00:06:57.700
afford his mortgage. He was an average, everyday guy struggling like you. And lo and behold,
00:07:04.780
he's the president. And all of a sudden, he and his children are the wealthiest in Venezuela.
00:07:12.780
How did that happen as a public service? I mean, Maduro? How does that happen? How come everybody
00:07:25.060
in government who claims I'm just trying to serve the people become incredibly rich and powerful?
00:07:32.320
How does that work exactly? I'm trying to figure that out.
00:07:38.580
Did they all win lotteries? Or is there something else going on?
00:07:46.700
Now, they had problems with their voting machines. They just held an election.
00:07:51.720
And everybody was talking about the voting machines. Voting machines, this is bad. This
00:07:55.100
is not good. The voting machines, voting machines, all kinds of corruption. No, no, no. No,
00:08:00.140
no corruption. No corruption. Corruption. It's going to be bad. Maduro's, the guy he's running
00:08:07.660
against was like 30 points ahead. 30 points ahead. And then when it comes to a vote, well,
00:08:16.980
we're going to take a break. We're just going to take a break. We're vote counting, but everybody's
00:08:20.920
really tired. It's sleepy. It's almost 930 at night. We got to get to bed. And then they count
00:08:26.640
and lo and behold, Maduro wins. We just found some ballots in Detroit. Is anybody seeing a single
00:08:38.620
dot here? It's insane. Do we have that crazy music that we play, Sarah, for stuff like this
00:08:51.800
when it's just, it's the one with the horn honk? No. Oh, but that's appropriate too. That's
00:08:59.800
appropriate too. So anyway, now he's president. It's like this. Is this the one with the horn
00:09:07.480
honk? I think so. So, uh, he is, uh, so he's, he's now president. And what did he do? Well,
00:09:17.600
he consolidated power in their Pentagon, you know, got rid of anybody that might be, uh,
00:09:25.220
you know, might, might, might be against him. So they got rid of him. Gee, isn't that what,
00:09:30.860
wait a minute, didn't we stand our army down to do that right after? Well, that's weird. So now he
00:09:36.760
has the complete support of the army and they're out quelling these crazies that are saying the
00:09:45.060
election was stolen, was stolen because these people, it's the worst thing to happen in Venezuela
00:09:52.320
since, I don't know, the civil war and they're going into civil war.
00:10:01.580
Now I've been watching the news and I haven't heard anyone pluck out a single parallel story here.
00:10:12.780
I haven't seen a single person on it. You know what I'm seeing on TV?
00:10:18.300
This is bad. Look at this. Look at this. I mean, the people were crying out saying there was
00:10:22.180
corruption, you know, and now he's trying to change the Supreme court again. Now he's doing
00:10:26.580
that again. What? I mean, this is out of control. First of all, he was trying to arrest his opponent.
00:10:31.860
So I do believe, Stu, that for the rest of the show, we should just talk like this because
00:10:49.760
everything's a cartoon. I wouldn't be surprised. Secret Service says Donald Trump was not hit by
00:10:56.780
a bullet. We believe a safe fell out of the sky. Why not? I've always believed Acme was in on all of
00:11:06.900
this. It's, it's been Acme from the beginning. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Would you have been surprised if
00:11:14.800
the guy up on the roof would have had a big black round bowling ball of a bomb and lit the fuse and
00:11:22.520
was wearing a fedora and he was like, shh. And he's lighting the fuse and everybody's in the
00:11:27.580
crowd going, there's a guy in a black fedora with a big black Acme bomb and he's lit it and he's
00:11:32.800
going to throw it towards the president. Why not? Why not? Why is the crap that they're saying to us
00:11:40.520
right now, less believable? Every day they update that story. He is. Yeah. Every day they update that
00:11:48.080
story. He's there earlier. Like I, I remember when this story broke, I had a conniption on the
00:11:54.100
vacations saying, Hey, how the heck was this guy up there for 90 seconds, 90 seconds. He was on the
00:12:03.280
roof for 90 seconds and somehow they let him up there. And every time you get an update, it was
00:12:09.720
actually 26 minutes. Actually, he built a condo on the complex six months ago and it's been living
00:12:16.960
there casing the entire field since then. I, I, I don't, I, I, every day the story gets worse.
00:12:24.100
He was halfway done building a tunnel. He was halfway finished with a tunnel that he was building from
00:12:28.960
the roof to the lectern where Trump was. He just couldn't get it done in time. Uh, yeah, now,
00:12:36.080
now we're starting to find out something about him. The FBI has come out and said, Oh no, we have some
00:12:42.220
evidence now. We think we might have a, we think we might have a motive. Okay. First of all, I'm pretty
00:12:53.320
sure his motive was to kill the president. I think that was his motive. I don't know. What are you
00:13:02.920
getting up for today? Well, I was going to have some bran flakes, but I decided I'm going to kill
00:13:10.300
Donald Trump. That's what motivated him along with the bran flakes. Uh, now, right. What you eat
00:13:18.140
bran flakes at that age? It's going to cause some weird outcomes. There's no doubt about that. And I,
00:13:25.720
you know, look, you have a situation where it had absolutely no footprint digitally that happens all
00:13:35.060
the time. He's never said a word on the internet. Let me tell you about relief factor. Jeffrey wrote
00:13:46.680
in about his experience with relief factory. He says, I just wanted to send a message of thanks.
00:13:51.540
I am free of pain in my knee and my lower back, which means I can keep my auto detailing business
00:13:56.720
going. And let me tell you, it was touch and go for a while. Now I'm back working hard, riding my
00:14:02.900
motorcycle, staying young at 71. Thank you. Really factor Jeffrey. I'm glad you got your life back.
00:14:10.200
And I love to hear, uh, that you are still working hard and in business and having fun. Uh, I have
00:14:17.920
experienced the same kind of stuff and relief factor factor has helped me in, I mean, saved my
00:14:25.300
hands, saved my ability to, uh, write and paint and everything else. Relief factor is a hundred

00:14:55.340
podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:15:03.560
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Um, I was listening to a Pat and Stu there and thank you guys for
00:15:09.780
filling in. We have a problem, uh, seemingly getting my voice, uh, down to earth, even though
00:15:15.780
I'm only 8,000 feet above earth, but, uh, thanks for filling in. I'm listening to them talk about
00:15:21.280
JD Vance and weird, how weird he is. Well, first of all, let's keep JD Vance weird. Okay. Uh, you can
00:15:27.700
go to glennbeckmerch.com right now and get your keep JD Vance, uh, weird t-shirt. I thought weird was
00:15:34.200
an okay thing. I mean, that was keep Austin weird, keep San Francisco weird, uh, keep Portland
00:15:39.760
weird. So I don't know what their problem is. Well, actually I do. And listening to Pat and Stu,
00:15:45.120
they bring up a lot of really, really good points, but I think we're missing one thing to him. He is
00:15:53.000
weird. And this is critical to understand because we think they're weird, right? So let me explain why
00:16:01.120
they think JD Vance is weird. JD Vance is from a red state. Weirdness. Number one, JD Vance grew up in
00:16:13.340
white poverty. Weirdness. Number two for them. Uh, they, uh, he was, he was, he had a horrible, horrible
00:16:24.340
life. He didn't have white privilege. Number weirdness. Number three, and he never gave up
00:16:33.440
or listened to the naysayers. Weirdness. Number four, just that is enough to make him weird,
00:16:42.200
but that's not the full key to understand why the left thinks JD Vance is weird and they don't relate
00:16:50.300
to his policies is because he comes at life 180 degrees differently than the left does. He believes
00:17:00.140
in pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Don't let anybody tell you, no, do it, do it. No matter what
00:17:08.340
anybody says about you, because nobody is holding you down. Nobody's holding you back except you and
00:17:15.980
your choices. That's one of the biggest things that's weird about JD Vance because either they
00:17:23.820
totally believe it or they're, they know they're running an evil scam, uh, on, on people all over
00:17:31.040
the world. You can't make it. You'll never make it. You need me to make it. Who says that? Who says
00:17:38.820
that except an abusive partner? You'll never make it. You know, who's keeping you down, but I can help you
00:17:45.240
get there. I mean, that's the Nina Simone, uh, uh, life. Nina Simone is, it's probably the greatest
00:17:56.040
jazz singer of the 20th century. You don't know it. Uh, or, you know, you, you may know her or know
00:18:02.460
that she's great, but you did. She didn't have her popularity because she was twisted from the
00:18:10.020
beginning. White people telling her she couldn't do it. And then breaking through that.
00:18:15.100
And then marrying abusive men over and over again that just used her and lied to her and abused
00:18:37.680
It's not what happens to you in life. It's what you do with those things.
00:18:45.100
I thought my dad was crazy when he told me, son, there's nothing, there's nothing bad.
00:18:51.820
And I was feeling bad for myself. And I said, really nothing bad. Really? Well,
00:18:56.360
how about when this happened or this happened or, or mom died, that wasn't bad.
00:19:02.000
He's like, there are things that happen that cause scars. There are things that happen that we don't
00:19:07.380
like, but you're either going to wallow in that, or you're going to learn and take something away from
00:19:15.300
that and help it empower you. This is the lesson of life.
00:19:22.580
Don't cower. Stand back up. Cause life is going to hit you over and over again. We'll stand up.
00:19:34.080
So that is, that's really weirdness number four, but here's the main weirdness for the left with J.D. Vance.
00:19:50.480
He's an entrepreneur. And it coincides with, don't tell anybody, you know, don't let anybody tell you what you are
00:20:01.440
or what you aren't. Don't tell, let anybody tell you, no, just do it yourself. If you believe it, you may fail,
00:20:08.440
but you're going to pick yourself back up. That's an entrepreneurial spirit. Those are the people with real drive.
00:20:15.680
And they're, they're different than people that just want a nine to five job. And there's nothing
00:20:22.160
wrong with either of them. You can be somebody who's like, I don't want all of that. I just don't
00:20:28.680
want all of that. I don't want to be responsible. I just want to go do my time and make my money,
00:20:34.080
be treated fairly and go home and have a life. I don't know what percentage of the population is
00:20:42.400
like that, but there's a good portion of the population that is like that. And those are the
00:20:49.120
people that the left relates to and counts on because they can use greed and envy to have you
00:21:01.000
look at an entrepreneur. Somebody would drive, look, man, I don't have the drive to do what Elon Musk does.
00:21:07.640
I don't have the brains to do it either. So why should I think I, I should take some money from
00:21:14.520
Elon Musk? Why would I hate Elon Musk for having the brains and the, the absolute gall to do what
00:21:23.260
he's done, take all of the risks? Oh, good for him.
00:21:29.680
See what the left doesn't understand is we need each other. We need the entrepreneurs. We need the
00:21:42.400
people that think out of the box. Quite honestly, we need rich people that will, will build libraries
00:21:48.820
or, or invest in some crazy crackpot idea. By the way, every idea that's changed the world has been
00:21:57.320
crazy or crackpot. We need the entrepreneurs, the crackpots, the inventors, the people who have
00:22:08.060
drive that just won't stop. And those people need the nine to fivers. Can you imagine what it would be
00:22:18.180
like if we were a society that was just full of nothing but entrepreneurs? You'd think it would be
00:22:26.260
a good thing, but it wouldn't be. Who's actually holding down the fort? Who's doing all of the work
00:22:34.940
that needs to be done to get that idea launched? You have to have the nine to fivers. You have to have
00:22:43.500
them. And nine to fivers. You know, the old saying is, you know, tell me the last poor person that you
00:22:52.220
worked for. Because those people who have an average salary and everything else, and again, there's
00:23:01.900
nothing wrong with that. They're not the ones necessarily that have the drive. And maybe they do,
00:23:10.160
and they're waiting for their opportunity or whatever. But generally speaking, those who want
00:23:15.520
to work nine to five, clock in, clock out, have a life, those aren't the ones that have the dreams
00:23:23.400
of changing the world. No entrepreneur can do without them. So here's what happens. They think J.D. Vance is
00:23:37.160
weird because they can't relate to him. They can't relate to him on anything. His white poverty
00:23:45.080
instead of his white privilege. His red state over their blue state.
00:23:52.360
His getting back up again, over and over again, and rejecting the idea, stay down.
00:23:57.880
You need the government. Reach out for a handout. They can't understand that. Even though his family
00:24:03.660
did take government assistance because they needed it, you got out of that. No, stay in it.
00:24:15.660
He's an entrepreneur. He's a guy who dedicated himself. He was a dummy. Dedicated himself to learn.
00:24:23.820
And he did. And that opened another door. Don't just go to school and just do it like everybody
00:24:32.080
else does. Actually choose to be in charge of your education. Take it seriously. And look at the door
00:24:40.500
that will open for you. They don't understand that. They want you to sit in that class and learn not to
00:24:46.920
read, not to write, all of the stuff. They want you to learn how to be a good little soldier
00:25:01.780
If you have unbridled crony capitalism, which is what we have had, if you have it to where
00:25:10.500
the government can get involved and start making bets on who's going to succeed and who's not,
00:25:17.980
what does that give you? It gives you a culture much like ours. It gives you a culture where,
00:25:24.660
God help you, you're not going to be able to escape because it's not fair because the man,
00:25:33.280
not in the corporation, but the corporation and the government keep you down. You cannot
00:25:40.280
invent a better mousetrap because the people at the mousetrap company have all kinds of laws that
00:25:48.360
they have helped write to make sure you can't start at the beginning. And so you get this greed,
00:25:57.720
this envy, this wealth, this power, and it's all corrupt.
00:26:04.820
But then the left comes in and says, let's get rid of these rich people because they're bad.
00:26:16.720
And we're going to tell everybody else that we're the power and you can't make it without us. But who
00:26:23.480
are those people? Those are the same people at the top now in the corporations and the government
00:26:29.280
that are saying, you can't make it. Give me more power, pass more laws in my favor that are holding
00:26:37.260
us down now. That's why this system is broken. And you can't go back to the way it was with crony
00:26:46.000
capitalism. You got to get rid of all of that. You have to reduce the size of the government and put a
00:26:52.980
clear wall between the government and business. They are only there. The government is only there
00:26:59.240
to say, excuse me, that's against the law. It's a place for you to run to and say, I need the police.
00:27:07.420
But you can't do that with the government now. You're going to run to the FBI? You think you're
00:27:11.240
going to get a fair shake? Socialists eat the entrepreneur. They eat them. They eat the rich.
00:27:20.160
And that's why it always fails. Socialism, communism always fails because it eats the dreamers.
00:27:26.680
There are no dreamers. Tell me who the dreamers are in the government.
00:27:36.320
That's why he's weird to them. And again, I would say, if that's the case, keep J.D. Vance weird.
00:27:45.720
So reading this story here, the Democratic National Committee confirmed that the virtual
00:27:56.280
roll call will begin on Thursday, meaning that Harris is the only person that is qualified for
00:28:02.900
the ballot at the convention. The committee announced the roll call would take place on
00:28:06.820
August 1st if Harris was alone or August 3rd if other candidates challenged her. There hasn't been
00:28:13.360
any challenge. There's no challenge. Nobody is standing up. The cabal has already spoken.
00:28:20.080
Vice President Kamala Harris became the sole Democratic nominee for president on Tuesday
00:28:24.760
night after the deadline to challenge her nomination passed without any qualified candidates.
00:28:29.860
Okay, so let me explain how our system works because I don't think a lot of people really
00:28:35.000
understand. Our system is beautiful in its simplicity and yet becomes complicated if you
00:28:44.460
don't understand the whys that everything is done. I think we all understand money, the love
00:28:54.920
of money is the root of all evil. And there's way too much money sloshing around. Well, let's talk
00:29:02.880
about this for a second because we are in a society that eats the rich and they'll tell you all the
00:29:07.020
time. Even Jesus hated the rich. He did? He hated them. Hated them. Remember that guy that had all that
00:29:14.100
money? And he was like, yeah, get your camel through the eye of the needle. Yeah, have you seen a camel
00:29:19.280
and a needle? Well, okay. The needle was a gate in the old city and it was a small gate, but it wasn't
00:29:27.320
a sewing needle. It was a gate. And you can get a camel through the gate, but you had to shed a lot
00:29:32.980
of stuff. And he didn't hate rich people. The reason why he said what he said, you know, you're
00:29:42.840
going to have an easier chance getting your camel through the eye of the needle. The reason why he
00:29:48.120
said that to him is not because he was rich, but because he misunderstood. Everything in life takes
00:29:55.280
money except for those eternal things. And Jesus was talking about an eternal mission.
00:30:02.700
And that guy kept saying, you don't understand. I don't, Jesus, listen, I don't think you
00:30:08.280
understand. I have a pretty big deal around these parts and I got a lot of money and I got a lot of
00:30:12.860
friends and I can help you. No, Jesus understood. No, I don't need that. Go ahead and just leave
00:30:17.780
everything behind. Would somebody, Paul, come on over here. Oh, you're still Saul. No, go away.
00:30:23.660
Uh, you, Peter, come over here. Will you talk some sense into this guy? Tell him who I am.
00:30:30.200
Yeah, Jesus knew who he was. He didn't need the worldly help.
00:30:38.240
But in real life, in our elections, that's part of the deal. And it's just a balance to keep it in
00:30:47.560
check and we've lost that balance. So in, in our place, rich, the rich people do have a place in
00:30:53.880
our politics, but no more than your place in politics. And you can see how our founders designed
00:31:00.060
this. You choose to run. Let's say, yeah, I've got to, I'm going to run for mayor. Okay. Well,
00:31:06.680
if you're going to do that, the first thing you need to do is convince a lot of people that you
00:31:10.140
would make a good mayor. Just go around town. And when you get a coalition of people saying,
00:31:14.620
yeah, I think he'd be a good mayor. Okay. Then you need that group to not only support you,
00:31:21.460
but also grow your group, something bigger. You might need just great evangelists. You also
00:31:27.700
might need somebody with money that can pay for advertising to help get that out. There's nothing
00:31:33.660
wrong with that. As long as you don't become beholden to the money and the money doesn't think
00:31:40.280
you're beholden to them. So you've got the rich people supporting you in an appropriate way.
00:31:47.940
You've got the people. And then what happens? Our whole system is made to keep the election
00:31:54.400
close to you. Okay. They want, the founders wanted one man, one vote, or actually one landowner,
00:32:02.060
one vote. Women could vote. I mean, if, if your husband was dead and you owned the land,
00:32:07.300
or if you were alone and owned land and you were a woman, you could vote. Didn't matter. It wasn't
00:32:14.060
about sex. They believed that it was important that you had a stake in this game. Well, we changed that.
00:32:21.640
So it's meant to keep close to you and the people who have, you know, a little bit of skin in the game.
00:32:27.820
So if you have a big enough crowd around you and you have people that can help you get your word out,
00:32:35.920
well, you could win locally and then you win statewide and then you win nationally. But it
00:32:41.540
was always local first. Because if it wasn't local, if we just went to a national election and we didn't
00:32:46.960
have all these primaries, we would always get the candidate of the big city. You'd never get somebody
00:32:53.140
that was from Iowa or had Iowa sensibilities. You'd never have that because everyone would spend
00:33:00.420
their money in the big cities because that's enough to sway the vote. That's why we don't have
00:33:06.240
a pure democracy. We have a constitutional republic and an electoral college because the founders knew
00:33:16.720
that if these cities get big enough, they'll just eat everything. They'll eat, you know, all of the
00:33:23.480
outlying areas, even in their own state. And then they'll just, they'll control everything.
00:33:29.640
I don't want to live under Los Angeles rules, New York rules. I don't even want to live under Dallas
00:33:36.800
rules. And I live in Texas. The cities can't control everything because we're all different.
00:33:43.880
And so they came up with the electoral college. And this is really how our system works.
00:33:51.840
You are voted for in your local district, then your state, and then you get into and say,
00:33:59.840
I want to become president of the United States. And you have to go to all of these different states,
00:34:03.860
the first ones at least, and really campaign. And your job as a citizen is to go and listen to them
00:34:10.580
and question them and listen to both sides and then decide.
00:34:22.600
Well, then we have a national vote. And that's why these polling numbers that Stu will go through,
00:34:27.340
these national poll numbers mean nothing, mean nothing. Because we don't elect people by popular
00:34:33.240
vote. But you'll notice the Democrats want the popular vote, not the electoral college.
00:34:40.760
They want the big cities in charge because they are in charge of the big cities. So who's for democracy
00:34:47.520
now? On top of that, this system worked pretty well. And in fact, I think it worked really well in 1980.
00:34:56.040
But that's when things changed. The Democrats saw a very unpopular with his own elite in his party.
00:35:04.000
They saw an unpopular guy nominated for president. It was Ronald Reagan. And the elites didn't want him.
00:35:10.120
They wanted Ford. And the people wanted Ronald Reagan. And so the people spoke. And then when it went to
00:35:17.800
the convention floor because the electors, the state representatives, if you will, they have the vote
00:35:27.040
and then they divvy that up into the number of electors and they divvy that up. And then that person
00:35:34.440
in the state at the convention says, okay, how many for this guy? How many for this guy? Because we don't
00:35:39.220
go on a national, you know, one man, one vote sort of way. It has to be translated. So then everything is kind of
00:35:48.160
equal. And those people stand up. And if it's close, there can be a debate and there could even be an open
00:35:53.340
convention where it may be somebody else because it's too close or it's not enough to get to the 270. Okay. All right.
00:36:03.980
So you have an open convention. And what does that mean? It means that all of the delegates that have
00:36:10.020
been elected by the local people for their state to represent them and their ideas and their vote,
00:36:16.860
they would go in and say, okay, well, nobody got to 270. So what are we going to do? Well, somebody did
00:36:25.400
get to 270. Somebody got to 270 and it was Joe Biden, you know, who wasn't even voted for by one
00:36:32.460
individual was Kamala Harris. So if you don't have anybody at 270, because your guy just dropped
00:36:40.720
out, you should have an open convention, but they didn't. They didn't. What happened was, and this is
00:36:49.700
the way history will write it. Eventually there was a coup. They forced this president out by, I believe,
00:36:56.800
blackmailing him with the 25th amendment. Now, I don't know why they, you know, just don't want him
00:37:04.600
to run, but he's fine, you know, running the country. That's a nightmare. So they did a coup.
00:37:12.100
Barack Obama was part of it. Nancy Pelosi was part of it. And they gave him an ultimatum and he took
00:37:18.220
the ultimatum and said, okay, I'm out. And then he did something that I don't think Barack Obama
00:37:23.320
expected. He then endorsed Kamala Harris. Barack Obama, I don't think wanted Kamala Harris,
00:37:29.920
but he let it play out. And all of a sudden, you know, the press and everybody just gets behind
00:37:36.500
Kamala and she's the one. And she became anointed because she raised $200 million.
00:37:43.900
That's a lot of money. Who are these donors? Well, we don't know. There's something happening
00:37:53.100
with ActBlue where they are taking in massive donations. And then you see, when you go to
00:37:59.320
their chart, you see that it's all from like, you know, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz, Carol
00:38:04.580
Schwartz, Carol Schwartz. Wait a minute. She gave $50 donations. But when you total them all up,
00:38:10.880
it's like over a million dollars. What is happening here? And then you go talk to Carol Schwartz
00:38:15.540
and she said, no, I donated to ActBlue a year ago, but I didn't do that. Somebody's laundering
00:38:22.420
money. So you have money that is out of control. And that money, money doesn't talk. Money screams.
00:38:31.120
And it was screaming Kamala Harris. And so they short-circuited you, no matter what they say
00:38:40.020
about grassroots up. There is no grassroots movement here. None of it. The grassroots movement,
00:38:45.560
here's what the grassroots movement was on the left. Not Joe Biden. Not Joe Biden. Let us have a
00:38:52.700
primary. Not Joe Biden. And the money spoke and said, we're not doing a primary. And they tried to
00:39:00.620
destroy RFK and anybody else that would run against Biden. And they didn't hold it. And the people
00:39:07.800
wanted a primary because they knew what the press kept saying was wrong. He's absolutely not in control
00:39:15.780
of his faculties. So they short-circuited that. Then when it looked like he was going to lose,
00:39:23.260
they short-circuited him by doing a coup. Then when they wanted Kamala in, they short-circuited
00:39:30.560
the convention and the open floor of the convention. Now, does that look like democracy to you at all?
00:39:39.500
Because where was your voice? You may be convinced now that you were for Kamala all the time because
00:39:51.300
the media is just doing an amazing job of repackaging her life. Why would you need repackaging if she's
00:39:58.220
such a star? Why would you need to go in and kill stories if she was so great? Why would you need to
00:40:05.860
retract what your own reporters said about her and make sure they've been vaporized so nobody could
00:40:11.760
see them again? Why do you need to do that if she's the one?
00:40:24.540
This from the Democrats, this is the third time they have stole the election from themselves.
00:40:31.800
The first time was with Bernie Sanders and the cabal got together and said,
00:40:46.660
Then it was, uh, 20, what was it? 2018, uh, 2018.
00:40:57.940
Uh, then what happened this, you haven't had a legitimate candidate in three elections.
00:41:18.880
Your friends on the left might want to think about democracy because this looks nothing like it.
