00:00:30.000 On today's podcast, I spoke at the Trump rally in Arizona.
00:00:33.880 You'll hear what I said, and you have to hear this crowd.
00:00:37.420 It was crazy.
00:00:40.380 It was so excited to be there and just moved as one.
00:00:44.840 Wait until you hear it.
00:00:45.620 I walked into the building, and the place went nuts.
00:00:49.660 Plus, a challenge for you as we get closer to Election Day.
00:00:53.880 It's going to come down to each one of us.
00:00:56.420 Also, Jim Rickards is here.
00:00:57.680 Is it possible that we'll see a Harris-Vance administration or even a J.D. Vance as an acting president?
00:01:05.540 And Chris Bedford joins me to talk about the vibes of this upcoming election.
00:01:10.600 Historically, they're swaying in the direction of Donald Trump.
00:01:14.720 And don't forget to check out the full show on the podcast.
00:01:17.720 But this one, this podcast is the best of, and it starts in 60 seconds.
00:01:22.820 First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:01:25.760 It's hard to change.
00:01:27.860 If you don't believe me, I'm guessing you've never tried to buy or sell a house or both.
00:01:31.880 You don't want to do that unless you absolutely have to.
00:01:35.100 Because it's not only hard, it's just so frustrating and complicated.
00:01:38.160 This is why if you're going to buy or sell, you need a great real estate agent.
00:01:44.140 One that actually listens to you and is really competent.
00:01:48.500 Years ago, I started a real estate company called realestateagentsitrust.com with my brother.
00:01:53.980 It's just a referral service.
00:01:55.440 I don't charge you anything for the referrals.
00:01:57.580 We look for the best agents in the country.
00:02:00.180 We started with the 500 best agents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:02:04.800 And we learned a lot from them.
00:02:06.600 And we now go out and we look for the people with the best practices and the best track record.
00:02:12.300 And I've got to be honest with you, people who are fans of the show as well, it doesn't hurt.
00:02:16.160 You kind of walk around.
00:02:17.940 Nobody's going to say to you,
00:02:19.240 Oh my gosh, I was with this couple today and they actually called it a master bedroom.
00:02:26.440 When we got to the, quote, master bath, I needed some therapy.
00:02:32.860 I was going to lose my...
00:02:33.820 None of them say that.
00:02:35.220 All right.
00:02:36.740 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:39.660 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:41.040 Get your home sold on time for the most amount of money in the house you're looking for.

00:02:56.440 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:01.560 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, founder of Blaze Media and conservative commentator, Glenn Beck.
00:03:22.620 Well, hello, Arizona.
00:03:26.440 What an honor it is to follow the next senator from Arizona, Carrie Lane.
00:03:37.220 I am here today because this is the election that will decide who we are, where our children live,
00:03:48.940 the opportunities that they will have.
00:03:51.360 This is a sacred, to me, a sacred duty and honor, not to just be here, but also to vote.
00:03:59.920 We need to get people out to vote for Donald Trump.
00:04:03.280 You don't need me to tell you we live in what I believe are prophesied times.
00:04:12.840 We are living in a time where evil is literally called good and good is evil.
00:04:18.020 Where men can become women and, strangely, men can also become little girls, if that's not creepy enough.
00:04:24.940 We know about what's happening to our girls.
00:04:30.360 This is the destruction of women. 1.00
00:04:33.460 I know there are some women that say, I don't know, I just can't vote for Donald Trump. 1.00
00:04:37.720 The policies of the left and Kamala Harris are destroying our women. 0.97
00:04:48.460 They are undermining us as parents.
00:04:53.360 Anybody who says that they should be able to counsel my child in secret is a predator.
00:05:00.000 This is what we're up against.
00:05:11.040 And for people who say, I don't know, I don't know if I can vote for Donald Trump.
00:05:16.480 The one thing that you cannot question is his children.
00:05:22.540 His children love him and honor him.
00:05:26.500 His children, quite honestly, with that much wealth and that much fame, they should be crackheads.
00:05:36.100 Well, I'm trying to think if there's an example of that anywhere.
00:05:46.120 Where did I leave my Hunter Biden facts?
00:05:49.900 These are people who contribute to society, who honor their father and their mother.
00:05:58.880 I don't know how he did that.
00:06:01.040 He's a genius at business.
00:06:03.160 The man should write a parenting book.
00:06:05.640 How did he do it?
00:06:06.700 We are also, I feel prompted to tell you that the biggest, most obvious and dangerous perversion,
00:06:26.920 one that should set everyone's alarm bells off, is this.
00:06:31.960 Every Sabbath, every Sunday, if you go to church, you go to church, you break bread.
00:06:39.160 In remembrance of him, this is my body, which I have given up for you.
00:06:47.520 The left has perverted that to the point to where it is, this is my child's body, which I will give up for me.
00:06:58.480 That is evil and must not continue.
00:07:05.320 We are looking at a relationship with evil that cannot be tolerated.
00:07:13.420 We must.
00:07:14.540 The Constitution is hanging by a thread.
00:07:17.900 It is time for the good people that know the difference between right and wrong to stand up and save the republic.
00:07:25.660 It is time to call on God's army that is armed with our voices and our vote.
00:07:39.960 You know, Kamala Harris said just the other day in an interview that if she could do it all over again, what would she change?
00:07:53.720 Is there any policies or anything that she would change? 0.62
00:07:56.420 Immediately, the list was endless in my head, and she responded, no, nothing.
00:08:03.760 How is this woman the agent of change? 1.00
00:08:10.800 How do people get that understanding of who she is?
00:08:16.500 Let me tell you something.
00:08:17.620 If you want change, vote Donald Trump.
00:08:20.540 Things are going to change.
00:08:23.080 Thank you.
00:08:23.940 It was an amazing, amazing rally.
00:08:30.640 And the day before, he was at Coachella.
00:08:32.540 I don't honestly know how the guy does it.
00:08:36.080 He is on the road.
00:08:38.240 I flew back as fast as I could.
00:08:40.820 I had to leave before his speech started so I could fly back.
00:08:44.160 And I was part of a conference call last night that he was on, and he was on his plane doing the conference call.
00:08:54.260 I was back at home.
00:08:56.400 I was exhausted by the end of the day.
00:08:58.840 He's in his 70s, and the guy just does not stop.
00:09:04.000 He is very, very confident in a good way.
00:09:07.820 He is cautiously confident, I should say.
00:09:10.320 You know, his internal polling is good.
00:09:15.240 He is, you know, he polls about traditionally eight points behind.
00:09:24.360 It was 10 points in 16.
00:09:26.520 It was six points the time, you know, in 2020.
00:09:30.100 Meaning the polling error moves in his favor.
00:09:32.020 It moves in his favor, okay.
00:09:33.840 And it's been between six and ten points.
00:09:37.000 If that stands, even if it's four points, he wins.
00:09:41.900 Oh, yeah.
00:09:42.360 He wins everywhere.
00:09:43.440 If he's on the right side of that polling error, he wins easily.
00:09:46.200 Yeah.
00:09:47.380 He'll sweep all seven of those swing states.
00:09:49.220 But he said to me, because we sat down and we had a chat beforehand, and he is not taking a single vote for granted.
00:10:00.360 He was like, Glenn, is this all going to be about turnout?
00:10:05.840 Are people going to turn out?
00:10:07.400 Are people going to turn out?
00:10:08.800 And I'm like, yes, they're going to turn out.
00:10:10.940 So I made a promise to him, so let's turn out, please.
00:10:14.680 Here's what I would like to ask you to do.
00:10:17.140 This will make all of the difference, especially people of faith.
00:10:22.660 I don't know a clearer time in my life.
00:10:28.840 I don't know of a clearer choice between good and evil.
00:10:33.980 I'm not calling Kamala Harris evil.
00:10:36.720 I am calling the policies absolutely evil.
00:10:41.580 Evil.
00:10:43.420 Everything that they have said, they lied about.
00:10:47.600 Oh, he's stronger than he's ever been before, Joe Biden.
00:10:51.040 No, no, we find out.
00:10:52.720 No, you were lying.
00:10:54.020 How long were you lying for?
00:10:55.520 How long was he in that condition?
00:10:57.900 Who's actually running the White House?
00:11:00.000 Who's running the country?
00:11:01.640 Clearly not somebody people who voted, who he voted for.
00:11:05.700 So who's running it?
00:11:07.600 Everything that they have done, it's a conspiracy theory until it's not.
00:11:12.920 This is a long con.
00:11:17.500 Just the abortion stance.
00:11:19.920 Look, you might be for no exceptions on abortion, but do you have any idea what's coming our way if she wins?
00:11:31.020 And the way for that to happen is for good men and women to do nothing.
00:11:37.220 This vote counts in the eternities.
00:11:44.500 You know, there's some people who hesitate getting into the fight because it's controversial.
00:11:50.120 I can't really make a choice.
00:11:53.040 I'm not sure if we're going to win.
00:11:54.800 Let me talk to those people.
00:11:58.760 Let me talk to the people who have blind spots here.
00:12:02.440 First of all, life's decision should be based on principles, not polls, not personalities, but on principles.
00:12:12.840 You know, there were men at Valley Forge who weren't sure how the revolution was going to end, but they were in a much better place to save their own souls and their country than those people who stood on the sidelines and like, I don't know, who's going to win?
00:12:30.240 And I don't want to get involved in any controversy.
00:12:35.200 The basic purpose of our life is to prove ourselves, not to be with the majority when it's wrong, but to prove ourselves.
00:12:44.640 This is such an honor to live at this time, to be counted.
00:12:49.180 Your vote counts, not just if you're in Texas and you want to vote for Trump.
00:12:53.320 You might think, well, my vote, you know, my vote's not going to count anyway because Texas is going to go, A, are you sure of that?
00:13:01.280 And B, your vote counts eternally at this.
00:13:06.800 I've never made this case before.
00:13:10.360 This time, liberty and freedom, not just for our children and our grandchildren, is at stake.
00:13:18.860 The whole world's liberty is at stake.
00:13:24.780 If we lose this election, I fear we will go into a massive war and the republic won't survive.
00:13:34.320 We can't continue to do the things we're doing and survive.
00:13:39.420 Where were you, grandma?
00:13:42.080 Where were you, grandpa?
00:13:44.480 What do you mean you didn't vote?
00:13:46.240 There are people all over the world who, in their own courage, sometimes quietly, work for freedom.
00:13:56.680 In many cases, we're never going to know until maybe, you know, we die and get up to heaven.
00:14:01.660 We won't know everything that people sacrificed for liberty all over the world.
00:14:07.540 Those people are going to receive heaven's applause.
00:14:11.200 They're getting it right now.
00:14:12.500 For the role that they're playing, in the long run, the applause will be louder and longer than anything they could have received in this world.
00:14:18.980 But most people are just quietly toiling for freedom.
00:14:22.520 This leads to the second blind spot, those who hesitate to get into the fight.
00:14:30.320 That comes from a failure to realize that we win in the long run.
00:14:36.420 And for keeps, you're passing up great blessings by not getting into the battle now when the odds are against us and the rewards are the greatest.
00:14:48.320 First, prove yourself.
00:14:51.980 Prove yourself worthy.
00:14:54.500 If you truly believe these rights come from God, then anything that are squashing those rights must be overturned.
00:15:05.800 They're God's rights, not yours. 0.98
00:15:07.640 You're not just losing your rights.
00:15:09.820 You're losing the rights for all of humanity.
00:15:12.520 You're losing it for your children.
00:15:16.220 Do you feel like your children are going to have a better life, an easier life?
00:15:21.680 Could even compete with your life?
00:15:24.680 Most Americans don't.
00:15:27.120 I don't want to feel that way anymore.
00:15:29.800 It doesn't have to be this way.
00:15:31.800 I'm not going to condemn my children to wallow in misery, to be strapped with God only knows what that's coming our way.
00:15:46.120 The question that we should be asking, what stand will each of us take in this struggle?
00:15:54.640 How much tragedy can be avoided by doing something now?
00:15:59.960 Think of that.
00:16:00.440 Think of what would have been avoided in Afghanistan alone.
00:16:06.580 Think about what tragedies would have been missed just in the FEMA hurricane relief.
00:16:17.040 Imagine the tragedy that is in front of us if Kamala Harris gets in.
00:16:23.920 Time is on the side of truth, and truth is eternal, and truth is coming roaring back.
00:16:29.320 You want to be on the right side.
00:16:32.860 Those who are fighting against freedom, they might feel confident now.
00:16:37.120 I don't think they do.
00:16:38.700 They know, oh, time is not on our side.
00:16:41.940 They are short-sighted.
00:16:43.340 This is God's world, God's freedom, and the forces of evil are working through some people, and they've made a good mess a part of what's happening in the world.
00:16:57.480 And then we helped because we weren't paying attention.
00:17:00.600 We didn't hold up our end of the responsibility.
00:17:02.980 But it's still God's world.
00:17:05.520 In due time, once we've had a chance to prove ourselves, including whether or not we're going to stand up, whether or not we want our name to be counted,
00:17:17.280 then God will interject himself, and then the final victory comes.
00:17:23.560 But that victory is for free agency.
00:17:29.180 Then the people on the sidelines, people who took the wrong but temporarily popular course, will lament.
00:17:37.080 You love your country.
00:17:42.480 I love my country.
00:17:44.480 Take that long, eternal look.
00:17:48.920 This, we are living in prophesied times.
00:17:52.020 I believe that.
00:17:53.180 Stand up for freedom, no matter the cost.
00:17:57.220 It can save your soul and maybe your country.
00:18:00.980 Here's what I would like to ask you to do.
00:18:02.800 I'd like everyone in this audience to find one person that you can get out to vote.
00:18:10.040 And not somebody who's like, yeah, Jim, I'm going to go vote for Trump.
00:18:13.360 Yeah, we'll go together.
00:18:15.160 I mean somebody.
00:18:16.720 There's one person that you know that is so close, so close.
00:18:24.220 Okay.
00:18:26.420 Help them over the hurdle.
00:18:29.320 Bring them to the polls.
00:18:30.740 That person who says, yeah, I vote for Trump, but I don't think my vote is going to count.
00:18:35.640 Get them to the polls.
00:18:38.740 This audience alone would save the republic if half of us did that.
00:18:45.980 If half of this audience did that, he'd win in a landslide.
00:18:51.400 So that's your assignment in the next, what, 22 days.
00:18:56.820 Find somebody who's not going to probably vote.
00:19:01.360 They're very, very close.
00:19:03.680 They agree, but they're just, it's not going to count.
00:19:06.700 I don't care where.
00:19:08.300 Even in Texas.
00:19:09.740 First of all, I don't think the Texas thing is solid.
00:19:12.660 Second of all, they are already talking about getting rid of the Electoral College.
00:19:21.520 They're already saying that.
00:19:23.340 They made a real move on it last time.
00:19:26.200 This time, they're not fooling around.
00:19:28.460 If they don't win, they're going to try that.
00:19:31.480 If they do win, they will do it.
00:19:34.000 They'll change the Electoral College. 0.93
00:19:36.000 They're talking about changing the Constitution in all kinds of ways.
00:19:42.600 Here's how you stop that.
00:19:44.220 By winning the popular vote.
00:19:46.540 And that means everybody in Florida that thinks,
00:19:49.700 ah, you know, my state's going for it.
00:19:51.480 Get out and vote.
00:19:53.600 It has to be overwhelming.
00:19:56.680 Take one person with you to the polls.
00:20:00.020 Find, in the next 22 days, find that one person
00:20:03.860 and take them to the polls.
00:20:08.420 Every day, we wake up with yet another chance to do something
00:20:12.100 about the hearts and minds of this country
00:20:13.740 who are getting the abortion issue wrong.
00:20:16.480 We should be thanking God for the opportunity.
00:20:19.260 I am so proud for the opportunity to partner with Preborn.
00:20:22.580 I just, I love these people.
00:20:24.700 Every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women,
00:20:27.900 as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.
00:20:32.240 So you're saving the baby's life and the mom.
00:20:36.140 I mean, it's fantastic.
00:20:39.040 They don't just advocate for the baby's life
00:20:40.960 and then forget about them once they're born.
00:20:42.740 That's what the left says we do, but it's not.
00:20:45.740 When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor,
00:20:47.940 she hears the heartbeat.
00:20:48.960 She's twice as lucky, likely, 0.99
00:20:52.340 to consider choosing life for her baby.
00:20:54.960 Preborn saves 200 babies a day, 200 moms a day.
00:20:59.580 If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift
00:21:03.260 to save babies in a big way?
00:21:05.920 Anything is welcome, but your tax-deductible donation of $5,000
00:21:09.620 will sponsor Preborn's entire network for 24 hours,

00:21:24.960 Now back to the podcast.
00:21:26.260 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program,
00:21:29.480 and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:21:34.540 Jim Rickards, he is the Money GPT author,
00:21:39.760 strategic intelligence editor.
00:21:41.640 He's a guy who historically has been calling all the big ones,
00:21:46.560 all of the big disruptions in our society, in our economy.
00:21:50.900 And Jim, I don't think,
00:21:54.180 I mean, I've heard you be pessimistic.
00:21:55.720 I don't think I've heard a more stern warning
00:21:59.240 than the one you're giving right now.
00:22:01.680 Well, thanks, Glenn.
00:22:02.780 Great to be with you.
00:22:04.580 Yeah, I don't think of myself as a pessimist.
00:22:07.380 I am an analyst, and I just try to be realistic.
00:22:10.060 So if that is kind of bad news, so be it.
00:22:13.280 But I try to have a lot of readers and followers and so forth
00:22:16.460 and our listeners on our show today,
00:22:19.000 and I just try to get it right.
00:22:20.440 But I am looking at the election.
00:22:23.080 Of course, everyone is coming up November 5th.
00:22:25.760 I remind people, the election's pretty much over already
00:22:29.020 with the early voting and all that,
00:22:30.420 so we know that, and the drop boxes and the mail-ins.
00:22:32.980 So people understand that.
00:22:34.140 But we'll get to November 5th.
00:22:35.900 I don't think we'll know on November 5th,
00:22:38.640 or even that night or early the next day.
00:22:41.140 You've got the usual trouble spots,
00:22:43.240 Philadelphia, Maricopa County.
00:22:44.800 I don't know what's going on in Arizona,
00:22:46.060 but they seem to ship the ballots off to a warehouse.
00:22:49.820 But beyond that,
00:22:51.700 most Americans are not familiar
00:22:53.500 with the actual electoral calendar, so to speak.
00:22:56.520 And it was devised in the late 18th century.
00:22:58.720 People say, well, why does it take from November 5th
00:23:01.260 to January 6th, 2025, to figure things out?
00:23:05.140 Well, you know, back in the 18th century,
00:23:07.060 they got around by horses and courage and all that,
00:23:09.060 and it just took time.
00:23:10.040 But anyway, when you get past that,
00:23:12.240 let's just say Trump wins.
00:23:13.420 Now, that's not a short thing.
00:23:14.820 It's going to be a close election,
00:23:16.080 but my models show Trump winning.
00:23:19.680 So he gets more than 270 electoral votes.
00:23:22.560 So we come up to December 17th
00:23:26.080 when they actually count those votes in the state capitals,
00:23:28.640 and they're going to be disputes and litigation.
00:23:31.260 But let's say we make it,
00:23:32.460 I'm just kind of looking ahead as far as we can,
00:23:34.640 to January 6th, 2025.
00:23:36.600 Now, everyone's spun up about January 6th, 2021.
00:23:39.580 We know what happened.
00:23:40.700 But this is January 6th, 2025.
00:23:43.700 Those electoral votes go to the House and the Senate.
00:23:46.600 Now, here's the key.
00:23:47.940 And this is why Trump's campaigning
00:23:49.300 in places like New York and California,
00:23:50.940 he's not going to win New York or California,
00:23:52.620 but they're fighting over House seats.
00:23:54.600 Because if the Democrats take a majority
00:23:56.440 of the House of Representatives,
00:23:57.880 which is possible,
00:23:59.460 there are only a four or five vote difference right now,
00:24:02.100 led by Jamie Raskin,
00:24:03.280 and they're going to pass a resolution saying
00:24:04.920 that Trump is an insurrectionist
00:24:06.600 under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
00:24:09.800 Now, a lot of people say,
00:24:10.960 wait a second,
00:24:11.420 didn't the Supreme Court throw that out?
00:24:13.000 Not exactly.
00:24:14.320 Colorado and Maine
00:24:15.280 tried to kick Trump off the ballot
00:24:17.240 on that ground.
00:24:18.740 It went to the Supreme Court.
00:24:19.960 The Supreme Court said
00:24:20.760 states cannot do it.
00:24:22.200 So Colorado and Maine couldn't do it,
00:24:23.740 nor could any other state.
00:24:25.080 But they explicitly said
00:24:26.300 the Congress could.
00:24:27.280 It was a federal issue.
00:24:28.820 So now you pass this resolution,
00:24:31.260 what happens?
00:24:32.900 Trump's votes would be disqualified.
00:24:34.480 Let's say he has 300 electoral votes
00:24:35.960 and pick a number over 270.
00:24:38.100 Those are disqualified 0.75
00:24:39.280 on the grounds that he's an insurrectionist.
00:24:41.600 So then what happens next?
00:24:43.060 Well, now nobody has 270,
00:24:45.660 because in this scenario,
00:24:46.780 Kamala Harris doesn't get 270.
00:24:48.800 Trump does,
00:24:49.460 but he's disqualified.
00:24:50.940 So now the election goes
00:24:52.060 to the House of Representatives.
00:24:53.660 This, by the way,
00:24:54.260 has happened before 1800,
00:24:56.000 1824,
00:24:57.520 and then 1876.
00:24:59.320 They still can't figure out
00:25:00.180 what happened,
00:25:00.620 but it has happened before.
00:25:02.780 But now you flip over
00:25:04.200 from the 14th Amendment
00:25:05.240 to the 12th Amendment.
00:25:06.700 I should let the listeners know
00:25:07.640 I happen to be a lawyer,
00:25:08.420 so I'm enough of a geek
00:25:10.480 to read all this stuff.
00:25:11.660 Now you're in the 12th Amendment,
00:25:13.100 1804,
00:25:14.480 and what does that say?
00:25:15.360 Well, the House votes
00:25:16.360 to choose the president,
00:25:18.240 but there are a couple of caveats.
00:25:19.640 One is they can only vote
00:25:21.060 for someone who got
00:25:23.540 in the top three electoral votes.
00:25:25.640 And this is, you know,
00:25:26.440 back in the days,
00:25:27.100 maybe three or four people
00:25:27.960 would get electoral votes.
00:25:28.740 George Wallace got electoral votes
00:25:30.040 in 1968.
00:25:31.380 Top three.
00:25:32.500 But there's only going to be one.
00:25:33.620 If you disqualify Trump,
00:25:35.340 no one else is going to win a state.
00:25:37.500 And Kamala Harris is the only one
00:25:39.280 you could vote for,
00:25:40.200 because top three,
00:25:41.280 but she would be the top one,
00:25:42.500 because that's it.
00:25:44.700 Why wouldn't it go to J.D. Vance?
00:25:47.060 Why doesn't he take those?
00:25:49.320 Well, that's what I think
00:25:51.400 that's what's going to happen.
00:25:52.860 But you have to sort of follow
00:25:54.200 the 12th Amendment as a playbook.
00:25:56.200 I think that's that's where
00:25:57.480 it will end up.
00:25:58.100 I agree with that.
00:25:58.700 But you have to kind of
00:25:59.820 look at the sequence.
00:26:02.220 Now, in the House,
00:26:03.240 here's the interesting part.
00:26:04.480 There are 435 members,
00:26:05.880 but you don't vote by member.
00:26:07.360 You vote by state delegation.
00:26:09.620 So Texas would get one vote. 0.68
00:26:11.160 I live in New Hampshire.
00:26:12.040 We'd get one vote,
00:26:12.900 the same as Texas.
00:26:14.300 The Republicans control
00:26:15.820 a majority of the state delegations
00:26:18.020 by a bigger margin.
00:26:19.480 They barely control
00:26:20.280 the majority of the House.
00:26:21.660 But when you go by state delegations,
00:26:23.160 it's more like 28-22.
00:26:25.020 The Republicans have
00:26:26.200 a substantial majority.
00:26:28.240 But the problem is
00:26:29.020 you can only vote for Kamala Harris
00:26:30.520 no matter what,
00:26:31.400 because nobody else
00:26:32.420 has any electoral votes.
00:26:34.920 The answer then,
00:26:36.160 the 12th Amendment says this,
00:26:37.400 is for the Republicans,
00:26:38.220 if they have cojones,
00:26:40.220 to go out and stand on the mall
00:26:41.620 in the snow.
00:26:43.040 And then the House lacks a quorum.
00:26:44.540 And the 12th Amendment says
00:26:45.680 you can't do anything
00:26:46.660 what we're talking about
00:26:48.000 if you don't have a quorum.
00:26:49.800 If you lack a quorum,
00:26:51.440 then what happens?
00:26:52.300 The 12th Amendment says 0.85
00:26:53.160 the vice president
00:26:54.420 becomes the acting president.
00:26:57.600 Now, J.D. Vance
00:26:58.580 would not suffer
00:26:59.360 this disqualification,
00:27:00.780 going back to the insurrection.
00:27:02.720 So J.D. Vance
00:27:03.740 would become the acting president
00:27:04.940 of the United States
00:27:05.680 if the House lacks a quorum.
00:27:07.720 And I describe this, Glenn.
00:27:09.140 It's all in the 12th Amendment.
00:27:10.420 It's in the 14th Amendment.
00:27:11.880 Some of this has been litigated
00:27:12.920 in years past.
00:27:13.660 It sounds crazy,
00:27:15.240 but just think about
00:27:16.080 what we've been through
00:27:16.620 the last three months.
00:27:17.520 Two, maybe three,
00:27:19.160 assassination attempts.
00:27:20.340 A coup d'etat on Joe Biden.
00:27:22.680 A nominee who didn't get
00:27:24.040 one vote in two tries,
00:27:25.820 not one vote in a primary.
00:27:27.160 And so there's enough craziness
00:27:28.620 to go around.
00:27:29.400 So again, I'm just kind of
00:27:30.320 reading the Constitution
00:27:31.460 and applying it.
00:27:32.680 It has happened before.
00:27:34.080 In, say, 1800,
00:27:35.020 we ended up with
00:27:35.700 Thomas Jefferson
00:27:37.580 and Aaron Burr,
00:27:38.540 who were bitter enemies
00:27:39.520 and opposing parties.
00:27:40.640 But that's what happened.
00:27:42.900 And here you could have
00:27:43.820 Kamala, J.D. Vance,
00:27:45.560 worst case,
00:27:46.400 or J.D. Vance's acting president
00:27:48.280 if the Republicans
00:27:49.480 walk off the floor
00:27:50.440 and they lack a quorum.
00:27:52.960 Oh, jeez.
00:27:54.280 This is craziness.
00:27:57.620 So, you know,
00:27:59.840 one of the reasons
00:28:00.600 we are successful,
00:28:01.760 we had cheap energy,
00:28:02.620 don't have that anymore.
00:28:03.880 A well-educated populace,
00:28:05.860 we don't really have
00:28:06.520 that anymore.
00:28:07.480 Cheap labor,
00:28:08.120 we don't have that anymore.
00:28:10.580 And a stable country.
00:28:13.440 If this happens,
00:28:15.760 what happens to the economy?
00:28:19.880 Well, the stock market,
00:28:21.760 you know,
00:28:22.380 it can,
00:28:23.020 there are bull markets
00:28:24.340 and bear markets.
00:28:24.980 It goes up and down.
00:28:25.720 But the one thing
00:28:26.220 the stock market hates
00:28:27.020 is uncertainty.
00:28:28.000 Right.
00:28:28.420 What we just described
00:28:29.720 is maximum uncertainty.
00:28:31.140 Because I just,
00:28:31.860 I gave you a scenario
00:28:32.660 that is laid out
00:28:33.520 in the 12th Amendment,
00:28:34.420 you know, 1804.
00:28:35.220 But you can bet
00:28:36.720 that every step
00:28:37.580 that I described
00:28:38.220 will be litigated
00:28:39.400 in some manner.
00:28:41.200 So, and the courts
00:28:42.760 want nothing to do with this.
00:28:43.940 I mean, you go back
00:28:44.460 to 2020,
00:28:46.720 you know,
00:28:46.960 the New York Times
00:28:47.560 and all these people say,
00:28:48.220 well, there were 15 cases
00:28:49.340 and they were all,
00:28:50.020 you know,
00:28:50.360 all of them were decided
00:28:51.280 that there was no
00:28:52.560 voter interference
00:28:53.540 and no election part.
00:28:55.280 That's not what the court said.
00:28:56.860 The courts dismissed
00:28:58.300 all those cases
00:28:59.080 either on standing,
00:29:00.860 jurisdiction,
00:29:02.980 timeliness.
00:29:03.420 They went to all
00:29:04.160 these procedural things
00:29:05.240 to get rid of the cases.
00:29:06.600 But the actual fraud
00:29:07.580 was never litigated.
00:29:09.520 There's been a lot,
00:29:10.420 a lot of, you know,
00:29:11.220 forensic examinations
00:29:12.060 since then.
00:29:13.160 So, and that's just
00:29:14.680 the course of,
00:29:15.220 hey, you,
00:29:16.160 Congress, states,
00:29:17.700 state legislature,
00:29:18.320 you guys figure it out.
00:29:19.340 We don't want to be
00:29:19.920 involved in this.
00:29:20.640 They still feel burned
00:29:21.560 by Bush versus Gore
00:29:23.480 in 2000.
00:29:24.880 Having said that,
00:29:25.960 they have a job to do.
00:29:27.080 And I think these things
00:29:28.320 are going to end up
00:29:29.180 in their lap.
00:29:29.680 But if you put the course
00:29:32.060 to one side
00:29:32.860 and just go by the playbook
00:29:34.640 and the 12th Amendment,
00:29:35.540 and that was based
00:29:36.060 on what happened
00:29:36.600 in 1800,
00:29:37.420 you would end up
00:29:38.360 with J.D. Vance
00:29:39.380 as acting president.
00:29:41.540 And because the Congress
00:29:44.160 can say that
00:29:46.140 he's an insurrectionist,
00:29:48.380 you don't need a trial.
00:29:50.360 I mean,
00:29:50.620 he's never even been
00:29:51.480 charged with insurrection.
00:29:54.100 Of course,
00:29:54.960 you're right,
00:29:55.500 and I agree completely.
00:29:56.420 But the 13th Amendment
00:29:59.100 hasn't been,
00:30:00.320 sorry,
00:30:00.700 Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,
00:30:02.360 sorry,
00:30:03.160 hasn't been litigated
00:30:04.100 since the,
00:30:05.120 well,
00:30:05.340 we had the case
00:30:06.080 last summer
00:30:06.500 with Colorado and Maine.
00:30:07.460 But before that,
00:30:08.440 you have to go back
00:30:08.960 to the 1930s.
00:30:11.180 And even,
00:30:12.800 of course,
00:30:13.060 that was designed,
00:30:13.780 that came after the Civil War.
00:30:15.020 It was 1868.
00:30:16.340 It was designed
00:30:16.860 to disqualify Confederates 0.55
00:30:18.780 from federal offices,
00:30:19.760 et cetera.
00:30:20.420 Over the years,
00:30:21.460 but Section 5,
00:30:23.140 Section 3
00:30:23.580 is the insurrection's cause.
00:30:24.520 But Section 5
00:30:25.880 empowers the Congress
00:30:27.160 to make laws
00:30:27.920 to interpret Section 3.
00:30:30.240 They,
00:30:30.800 sometime,
00:30:31.380 I don't know the exact date,
00:30:32.280 sometime in the 1920s,
00:30:33.300 the Congress
00:30:33.860 granted full amnesty
00:30:36.000 to Robert E. Lee
00:30:37.440 and Jefferson Davis.
00:30:38.540 They said
00:30:38.900 they were not insurrectionists.
00:30:41.100 And so,
00:30:42.200 there has been,
00:30:43.180 there has been legislation
00:30:44.500 and it has been litigated,
00:30:45.660 not in recent decades,
00:30:47.060 but if you're willing
00:30:48.300 to cut Robert E. Lee
00:30:49.880 a break,
00:30:50.360 I don't know why
00:30:50.840 they wouldn't do it
00:30:51.280 for Trump.
00:30:51.720 Well,
00:30:51.900 they did that,
00:30:52.680 they did that
00:30:53.480 to heal.
00:30:54.620 I mean,
00:30:54.820 that's why we have
00:30:55.460 these statues
00:30:56.080 of Robert E. Lee
00:30:56.980 that the North said,
00:30:59.420 build a statue,
00:31:00.700 these are heroes
00:31:01.420 for you as well.
00:31:02.980 You know,
00:31:03.300 they didn't,
00:31:04.020 they didn't prosecute
00:31:05.060 these guys
00:31:05.520 because they said,
00:31:06.500 we've got to come back
00:31:08.040 together as a nation.
00:31:09.960 Nobody's going to do
00:31:10.700 that this time.
00:31:12.340 That's exactly right.
00:31:13.360 The bitterness is,
00:31:14.100 we're sorry to say that,
00:31:15.400 but, you know,
00:31:15.920 it's there.
00:31:16.940 And by the way,
00:31:17.820 the leader of this,
00:31:18.780 and he's open about it.
00:31:20.260 I read the Constitution,
00:31:22.120 did the legal homework,
00:31:22.980 but the guy who says
00:31:23.860 this is what we're going
00:31:24.560 to do is Jamie Raskin
00:31:26.560 and the member
00:31:27.120 of Congress of Maryland.
00:31:28.940 But most people are,
00:31:30.520 you know,
00:31:30.740 they're worried about
00:31:31.180 election fraud
00:31:31.840 on November 5th.
00:31:32.640 They should be.
00:31:34.020 I think Laura Trump
00:31:34.980 has done a good job of,
00:31:36.260 I think they've mobilized
00:31:37.080 500 lawyers
00:31:37.960 and they're on that
00:31:39.140 and Republicans
00:31:39.600 are finally waking up
00:31:40.520 to the fact that
00:31:41.120 you may not like mail-ins,
00:31:42.380 but you've got to do it.
00:31:43.900 But this is much further
00:31:46.560 down the road.
00:31:47.120 This is the end game.
00:31:48.040 This is the final
00:31:48.620 lawfare attack.
00:31:49.420 You're listening
00:31:50.600 to the best
00:31:51.240 of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:31:52.860 Hear more of this interview
00:31:53.960 and others
00:31:54.420 with the full show podcast
00:31:55.920 available wherever
00:31:57.060 you get podcasts.
00:31:58.340 There's a great article
00:31:59.480 at Blaze.com
00:32:00.540 how Donald Trump
00:32:01.380 won the Vibes election.
00:32:03.980 And I wanted to get
00:32:05.180 Christopher Bedford.
00:32:06.080 He is our Washington,
00:32:07.720 D.C. chief.
00:32:09.220 And he wrote this great
00:32:11.920 kind of historical
00:32:13.020 look at Vibes, man.
00:32:15.880 And I wanted to get him
00:32:17.000 on to explain it.
00:32:18.340 Hi, Chris.
00:32:18.820 How are you?
00:32:20.200 I'm great.
00:32:20.820 Happy Columbus Day, Glenn.
00:32:22.060 Oh, yeah, it is Columbus Day.
00:32:23.680 You bastard for knowing that.
00:32:25.660 How much hate
00:32:26.360 do you have in your soul?
00:32:28.360 You know, I'm in
00:32:29.100 Baltimore Harbor right now,
00:32:30.420 which is where
00:32:30.960 Nancy Pelosi's father
00:32:32.200 erected a statue
00:32:33.380 of Christopher Columbus
00:32:34.240 and she applauded
00:32:35.540 as that statue
00:32:36.260 was taken down.
00:32:38.180 Unbelievable.
00:32:39.620 Okay.
00:32:40.220 Happy Columbus Day.
00:32:42.080 So, Chris,
00:32:42.800 tell me about
00:32:43.780 the Vibes election
00:32:45.800 and the winning
00:32:46.420 the Vibes war.
00:32:48.180 So, I was looking at
00:32:49.420 kind of the historic precedent
00:32:50.780 because we sit there
00:32:52.260 in D.C.
00:32:52.960 pouring over numbers,
00:32:54.780 pouring over polls,
00:32:56.440 trying to divine
00:32:57.480 the public sentiments
00:32:59.420 from these people
00:33:00.800 who just call folks
00:33:01.820 at their home phone numbers
00:33:03.000 and their cell phones
00:33:03.800 and try to gauge
00:33:04.600 where the public's at.
00:33:06.700 And I was talking
00:33:07.360 to some long-time
00:33:08.200 political consultants
00:33:09.060 and they pointed out
00:33:10.040 and we were chatting
00:33:10.760 about this,
00:33:11.260 how often politics
00:33:13.840 is actually
00:33:14.380 kind of a game
00:33:15.120 of the obvious.
00:33:16.220 We make it
00:33:16.660 very complicated.
00:33:17.960 We pour through
00:33:19.140 this really
00:33:20.060 imperfect science.
00:33:22.220 But it's not
00:33:22.700 like the economy.
00:33:23.720 It's not like
00:33:24.200 a lot of other things
00:33:24.940 that are difficult
00:33:25.740 to predict.
00:33:26.540 If you look back
00:33:27.460 for the last 50 years
00:33:28.580 of elections,
00:33:29.780 whether it's
00:33:30.220 Gerald Ford,
00:33:31.200 who no one ever
00:33:32.180 elected anything
00:33:32.960 other than
00:33:33.520 congressman,
00:33:34.980 versus Jimmy Carter,
00:33:36.680 whether it's
00:33:37.120 Ronald Reagan,
00:33:38.240 just an incredible
00:33:39.020 movie star actor
00:33:40.000 with a pitch-perfect
00:33:41.140 radio voice
00:33:42.080 versus Jimmy Carter,
00:33:44.860 or whether you
00:33:45.400 move up to
00:33:46.060 Mitt Romney
00:33:46.720 versus Barack Obama,
00:33:48.100 you start to notice
00:33:48.960 that these things
00:33:50.120 are kind of obvious.
00:33:52.200 The people who
00:33:53.400 are likable,
00:33:54.540 Bob Dole,
00:33:55.580 no matter what
00:33:56.400 the scandals,
00:33:57.020 no matter his heroism,
00:33:58.340 and no matter his
00:33:58.900 sense of humor,
00:33:59.960 was not going to
00:34:00.620 beat Bill Clinton,
00:34:02.380 who was young
00:34:03.080 and energetic
00:34:04.020 and charismatic.
00:34:05.080 And the Democrats
00:34:06.900 really played
00:34:07.800 a strong
00:34:09.360 and bold hand
00:34:10.520 here.
00:34:10.860 Not maybe strong,
00:34:11.600 but extremely
00:34:12.320 bold bluff.
00:34:13.340 When they put
00:34:14.100 Kamala Harris,
00:34:14.740 who was literally
00:34:15.300 no one's first
00:34:16.380 choice,
00:34:17.180 to be in charge,
00:34:18.040 someone the Obamas
00:34:18.840 can't personally
00:34:19.680 stand,
00:34:20.280 someone who Joe
00:34:20.960 Biden doesn't
00:34:21.840 really even
00:34:22.480 personally like,
00:34:23.860 they put her 0.98
00:34:24.600 on the ticket
00:34:25.120 and they tried
00:34:26.240 to make her
00:34:26.640 into a rock star,
00:34:28.000 into a transformative
00:34:28.980 figure.
00:34:29.640 They tried to run
00:34:30.400 simply off of
00:34:31.340 vibes,
00:34:32.040 how she makes
00:34:32.820 you feel.
00:34:33.980 But in the last
00:34:34.700 six weeks or so
00:34:35.920 of the election,
00:34:37.060 or the last two
00:34:37.720 weeks,
00:34:38.000 and then we got
00:34:38.420 four weeks ahead
00:34:39.080 of us,
00:34:39.900 people have really
00:34:40.580 started to notice
00:34:41.540 and tune in.
00:34:42.980 And they don't
00:34:43.440 like what they see.
00:34:44.460 And the Democrats
00:34:45.120 who based everything
00:34:46.200 on vibes
00:34:47.020 are actually
00:34:48.480 turning away
00:34:49.180 from Kamala Harris.
00:34:50.580 And at the same
00:34:51.100 time,
00:34:51.460 Donald Trump,
00:34:52.640 who in 2016
00:34:53.500 was a maverick,
00:34:54.820 in 2020 kind of
00:34:55.860 ran an angry
00:34:56.460 campaign,
00:34:57.220 one that was a lot
00:34:57.880 about how he'd
00:34:58.620 been wronged,
00:34:59.140 and he had.
00:35:00.080 But now in 2024,
00:35:01.680 he's at the top
00:35:02.260 of his game.
00:35:02.820 He's hysterical.
00:35:04.320 He's lighthearted.
00:35:05.260 You were with him
00:35:05.740 over the weekend.
00:35:06.520 You saw he's a
00:35:07.680 changed man.
00:35:08.680 Yeah,
00:35:09.080 he is.
00:35:09.520 And every single
00:35:10.940 poll is showing
00:35:11.840 that the American
00:35:12.340 people are noticing
00:35:13.140 this.
00:35:14.220 He is,
00:35:15.140 he has,
00:35:16.800 he has really
00:35:17.600 changed to
00:35:18.720 a much light,
00:35:21.400 much more
00:35:22.060 lighthearted guy.
00:35:23.700 You know,
00:35:24.560 after he won,
00:35:25.480 after he lost
00:35:26.360 in 2020,
00:35:27.380 he was angry
00:35:29.420 about it.
00:35:30.220 I don't see the
00:35:31.120 anger in him
00:35:31.920 anymore.
00:35:32.700 He's,
00:35:32.940 he's,
00:35:33.380 he's really
00:35:35.400 a positive guy.
00:35:36.620 Don't worry.
00:35:37.140 I can't tell you
00:35:37.880 how many times
00:35:38.360 I heard him
00:35:38.920 say to people,
00:35:39.720 this is backstage.
00:35:40.980 They said,
00:35:41.620 you know,
00:35:41.980 worried about this
00:35:42.660 or don't worry
00:35:43.220 about it.
00:35:43.700 Let's just,
00:35:44.240 let's win this
00:35:45.000 election and
00:35:45.800 that's all going
00:35:46.660 to solve itself.
00:35:47.300 We're going to
00:35:47.560 take care of that.
00:35:48.260 Don't worry.
00:35:48.900 Let's just win
00:35:49.360 the election.
00:35:50.920 You know,
00:35:51.580 you know this,
00:35:52.500 Glenn,
00:35:52.880 from your life,
00:35:53.940 and I think we
00:35:54.520 all know this,
00:35:55.220 that sometimes
00:35:56.120 there seems like
00:35:56.880 something's happening
00:35:57.560 that you can't
00:35:58.240 understand why.
00:35:59.180 Yes.
00:35:59.340 And it's bad
00:35:59.980 and it hurts you.
00:36:01.080 And later on,
00:36:01.960 when you step back,
00:36:02.700 sometimes years later,
00:36:03.560 you realize it was
00:36:04.300 all part of God's
00:36:05.020 plan.
00:36:05.420 Yes.
00:36:06.180 And it suddenly
00:36:07.300 starts to make sense,
00:36:08.420 even those difficult
00:36:09.320 trials.
00:36:10.060 And that may be
00:36:11.440 where we are right now.
00:36:12.560 So you believe
00:36:13.920 that he's surging
00:36:15.760 in the polls,
00:36:16.360 because that's what
00:36:17.280 he said to me
00:36:18.160 yesterday, Glenn,
00:36:19.080 where,
00:36:19.600 I mean,
00:36:19.840 and I'm seeing it
00:36:20.860 in some,
00:36:21.940 that he is starting
00:36:23.480 to surge
00:36:24.000 and it comes
00:36:24.500 at exactly
00:36:25.180 the right time.
00:36:27.020 And Kamala
00:36:28.180 is starting
00:36:29.700 to fall in the polls.
00:36:30.860 You believe
00:36:31.260 those numbers are real?
00:36:33.240 Yes.
00:36:33.540 And I've not seen,
00:36:34.980 I've really not seen
00:36:36.000 a good poll
00:36:36.520 for Kamala Harris
00:36:37.460 in a few weeks.
00:36:38.740 Every one
00:36:39.460 that is coming out
00:36:40.320 has been bad.
00:36:41.940 Donald Trump
00:36:42.440 is literally
00:36:43.060 starting to pull ahead
00:36:44.160 in the popular vote.
00:36:46.500 The Barack Obama
00:36:47.660 speech trying
00:36:48.460 to shame black men
00:36:49.480 doesn't seem
00:36:50.020 to have worked.
00:36:51.060 Oh, boy,
00:36:51.540 was that bad?
00:36:51.960 The Kamala Harris
00:36:52.520 media blitz
00:36:53.240 didn't work.
00:36:54.680 The only polls
00:36:55.660 that we have
00:36:56.120 since she did
00:36:56.920 a week
00:36:57.400 of these strange shows
00:36:59.080 have shown her
00:37:00.420 consistently further
00:37:01.580 and further down.
00:37:03.580 And I don't actually
00:37:04.660 think that pollsters
00:37:05.520 are undercounting
00:37:06.280 Trump voters
00:37:06.820 as often
00:37:07.320 as they have previously
00:37:08.340 because for eight years
00:37:09.920 it was a shameful thing
00:37:11.680 to be a Trump voter.
00:37:12.760 It was where,
00:37:13.360 I used to be
00:37:13.940 a punk rocker.
00:37:14.640 I'd walk around
00:37:15.060 with a mohawk
00:37:15.760 and a t-shirt
00:37:16.440 with a curse on it
00:37:17.280 and people would
00:37:17.840 look at you
00:37:18.380 way meaner
00:37:19.520 if you have
00:37:19.860 a MAGA hat on
00:37:20.640 than that.
00:37:21.860 Wow.
00:37:21.920 They cause us
00:37:23.460 disdain in so much
00:37:24.400 of the country
00:37:24.960 but it's no longer
00:37:25.960 uncool.
00:37:26.680 Well, wait a minute,
00:37:27.320 wait a minute.
00:37:27.620 I have a theory
00:37:29.160 on this.
00:37:30.260 I think they
00:37:30.960 undercounted
00:37:32.060 the MAGA people
00:37:33.660 in the past
00:37:34.920 and they did it
00:37:36.720 by, I think,
00:37:37.640 eight or ten points
00:37:38.760 in 16
00:37:40.100 and then
00:37:40.840 six points
00:37:41.780 in 2020.
00:37:43.060 I think
00:37:43.860 the hidden
00:37:44.620 MAGA voter
00:37:45.820 are the people
00:37:47.580 that
00:37:48.080 do not want to
00:37:49.400 tell their
00:37:49.780 Democratic friends,
00:37:50.800 I can't take
00:37:51.540 any more
00:37:51.940 of this
00:37:52.420 and they
00:37:53.000 will go in
00:37:53.740 either not
00:37:55.120 vote
00:37:55.560 or they will
00:37:56.360 go in
00:37:56.860 and vote
00:37:57.280 for Trump
00:37:57.800 and they're
00:37:58.240 not going
00:37:58.520 to tell
00:37:58.800 anybody.
00:37:59.580 Do you think
00:37:59.900 there's a
00:38:00.340 chance of that?
00:38:02.560 You know,
00:38:03.340 this is just
00:38:04.120 a story
00:38:04.760 but my mother's
00:38:05.580 got a book
00:38:05.980 group up
00:38:06.460 in Cape Cod
00:38:07.100 and the whole
00:38:08.600 book group
00:38:09.360 for years
00:38:09.860 was dominated
00:38:10.400 by anti-Trump
00:38:11.280 sentiment
00:38:11.660 until one day
00:38:12.320 she had enough 0.99
00:38:13.000 and said,
00:38:13.400 you know,
00:38:13.640 I actually
00:38:14.060 voted for him
00:38:14.780 and I'm not
00:38:15.660 a racist
00:38:16.060 and it
00:38:16.900 turned out
00:38:17.300 that the
00:38:17.520 majority
00:38:18.000 of her
00:38:18.400 book group
00:38:18.820 felt the
00:38:19.260 exact same
00:38:19.800 way
00:38:20.060 but they
00:38:20.760 had been
00:38:21.060 overpowered
00:38:21.640 by a few
00:38:22.180 loud voices
00:38:22.860 who shamed
00:38:23.400 them
00:38:23.700 and tried
00:38:24.180 to put
00:38:24.420 them down
00:38:24.820 for it.
00:38:25.700 I think
00:38:26.060 those people
00:38:26.540 are everywhere.
00:38:27.300 For every
00:38:27.580 Trump sign
00:38:28.200 you see,
00:38:29.460 you see
00:38:29.860 there are a lot
00:38:30.500 more people
00:38:30.920 who don't
00:38:31.340 have one
00:38:31.680 in the yard
00:38:32.140 who are
00:38:32.600 feeling that
00:38:33.100 same way
00:38:33.660 and they're
00:38:34.160 looking at
00:38:34.500 the prices
00:38:34.920 in the
00:38:35.180 groceries,
00:38:35.740 looking at
00:38:36.060 the crime,
00:38:36.700 looking at
00:38:37.080 the foreign 0.60
00:38:37.460 policy and
00:38:38.060 they're saying
00:38:38.460 this isn't
00:38:39.740 what I
00:38:40.000 wanted.
00:38:40.620 Yeah,
00:38:40.780 this is the
00:38:41.480 only time,
00:38:42.320 I mean you
00:38:43.180 looked into
00:38:43.760 the presidential
00:38:44.780 history,
00:38:45.720 this is the
00:38:46.460 only time
00:38:46.960 that I'm
00:38:47.460 aware of
00:38:48.080 where if
00:38:49.380 Kamala wins
00:38:50.820 they will be
00:38:52.080 voting against
00:38:52.860 their own
00:38:53.360 interests.
00:38:54.220 For instance,
00:38:55.560 every time
00:38:56.380 an administration
00:38:57.020 has an
00:38:58.160 economy this
00:38:59.140 bad,
00:38:59.800 things starting
00:39:00.340 to look really
00:39:01.120 bad in
00:39:01.720 foreign policy,
00:39:02.740 all of these
00:39:03.220 things,
00:39:04.220 gas prices
00:39:05.120 going up,
00:39:05.960 they don't
00:39:06.600 usually do
00:39:07.480 well.
00:39:08.740 If she
00:39:09.760 beats
00:39:10.440 Donald Trump's
00:39:12.300 even just
00:39:13.780 the popular
00:39:14.360 vote numbers,
00:39:15.780 I just
00:39:16.120 don't believe
00:39:16.640 it.
00:39:17.040 I just
00:39:17.680 won't
00:39:18.200 believe it.
00:39:19.800 How are
00:39:21.160 these people
00:39:21.600 voting against
00:39:22.340 what they
00:39:22.740 know to
00:39:23.320 be true?
00:39:25.360 It's so
00:39:25.980 difficult to
00:39:27.120 talk to a
00:39:27.860 lot of
00:39:28.060 these folks.
00:39:28.720 They're so
00:39:29.160 insulated,
00:39:30.540 it seems.
00:39:31.320 And what's
00:39:32.240 sad is a lot
00:39:32.820 of things that
00:39:33.280 are very much
00:39:33.800 true are
00:39:34.860 called lies.
00:39:35.840 Oh,
00:39:36.080 I know.
00:39:36.380 If you say
00:39:36.840 that the
00:39:37.100 crisis of
00:39:37.640 the border,
00:39:38.500 even though
00:39:39.000 now Democrats
00:39:39.600 are finally
00:39:40.080 admitting that,
00:39:41.140 folks will
00:39:41.580 tell you
00:39:41.940 straight to
00:39:42.280 your face,
00:39:42.860 college professors
00:39:43.540 will tell you
00:39:44.100 that's a
00:39:44.900 conservative
00:39:45.360 lie.
00:39:46.740 No,
00:39:46.980 it's not.
00:39:47.940 So there's
00:39:48.360 a willful
00:39:49.120 disconnect,
00:39:50.040 and we
00:39:50.420 are more
00:39:51.420 tribal than
00:39:52.280 we've ever
00:39:52.660 been,
00:39:53.280 in a long
00:39:53.860 time,
00:39:54.160 at least,
00:39:54.440 not ever.
00:39:55.200 And we're
00:39:55.700 more partisan.
00:39:56.820 Do you
00:39:57.140 think,
00:39:57.580 though,
00:39:57.700 the economy
00:39:58.280 is different?
00:39:58.900 I mean,
00:39:59.020 there was a
00:39:59.360 story out
00:39:59.780 today that
00:40:00.340 said that
00:40:00.980 the prices
00:40:03.980 for everything
00:40:04.660 is actually
00:40:05.360 lower today
00:40:07.160 than it was
00:40:08.100 when Donald
00:40:08.600 Trump was in
00:40:09.140 office.
00:40:09.480 And I'm
00:40:09.800 like,
00:40:10.580 are you,
00:40:11.520 I mean,
00:40:12.760 that is,
00:40:13.540 I mean,
00:40:13.840 you,
00:40:14.400 everybody knows
00:40:15.380 that.
00:40:15.740 They remember
00:40:16.740 going to the
00:40:17.420 grocery store
00:40:18.080 then.
00:40:18.600 They remember
00:40:19.320 going to the
00:40:19.860 grocery store
00:40:20.520 now.
00:40:20.980 I think they've
00:40:21.580 become so
00:40:22.360 blatant in
00:40:23.480 their lies
00:40:24.400 that you
00:40:25.840 have to
00:40:26.540 choose.
00:40:27.780 I'm believing
00:40:28.780 that.
00:40:29.400 I'm no longer
00:40:30.620 going to believe
00:40:31.600 my own eyes,
00:40:32.740 my own ears,
00:40:33.600 my memory.
00:40:34.260 I'm going
00:40:35.340 to,
00:40:35.600 I choose
00:40:36.160 to believe
00:40:36.640 that.
00:40:38.480 Trust enough
00:40:39.140 reporters has
00:40:39.860 never been
00:40:40.260 lower and
00:40:40.780 it's completely
00:40:41.420 deserved.
00:40:42.460 And for
00:40:42.700 everything,
00:40:43.240 every amount
00:40:44.160 of distrust
00:40:44.720 you have for
00:40:45.220 people in my
00:40:45.820 profession,
00:40:46.400 you should
00:40:46.780 increase it
00:40:47.500 because so
00:40:48.240 many of them
00:40:48.660 are liars. 0.78
00:40:49.600 This
00:40:49.820 propaganda
00:40:50.260 is for the
00:40:50.760 court.
00:40:51.080 I think
00:40:51.220 there was
00:40:51.480 CNBC who
00:40:52.340 tried to
00:40:52.700 claim that
00:40:53.200 increases in
00:40:54.280 wages are
00:40:55.160 what's covered
00:40:55.880 for it.
00:40:56.360 So actually
00:40:56.760 everything is
00:40:57.440 cheaper.
00:40:57.900 But if you're
00:40:58.700 a native-born
00:40:59.240 American citizen,
00:41:00.580 your wages
00:41:01.100 have not
00:41:01.760 increased.
00:41:02.680 If you're an 0.51
00:41:03.260 illegal immigrant,
00:41:04.260 you're doing
00:41:04.840 better than
00:41:05.300 maybe you
00:41:05.720 were three
00:41:06.120 years ago,
00:41:06.660 four years
00:41:07.060 ago.
00:41:07.660 But that's
00:41:08.080 not,
00:41:08.480 at least,
00:41:09.040 that's not
00:41:09.400 who's supposed
00:41:09.920 to be voting.
00:41:10.760 Democrats have
00:41:11.260 tried to block
00:41:11.800 that every chance
00:41:12.420 they get.
00:41:13.480 But one thing
00:41:14.020 that's interesting
00:41:14.460 in the polls
00:41:14.920 that I still
00:41:15.380 can't figure
00:41:15.900 out,
00:41:16.680 you're just
00:41:17.000 in Arizona,
00:41:18.400 why the
00:41:18.980 difference
00:41:19.320 between
00:41:19.640 Carrie Lake
00:41:20.260 and Donald
00:41:20.760 Trump,
00:41:21.160 the difference
00:41:21.480 between Trump
00:41:22.140 and a couple
00:41:22.540 other Republican
00:41:23.280 candidates in
00:41:23.980 the polling
00:41:24.460 is sometimes
00:41:25.380 10 points.
00:41:26.740 And in this
00:41:27.220 partisan age,
00:41:28.540 I would be
00:41:29.040 surprised if we
00:41:29.820 actually see
00:41:30.500 that kind of
00:41:31.020 vote splitting,
00:41:32.020 that kind of
00:41:32.500 ticket splitting,
00:41:33.120 really reflect
00:41:34.380 when the
00:41:34.760 numbers come
00:41:35.540 in.
00:41:36.220 And I'm
00:41:36.420 wondering if
00:41:36.840 those Senate
00:41:37.940 candidates are
00:41:38.420 going to come
00:41:38.760 up and
00:41:39.480 closer to
00:41:39.960 Trump,
00:41:40.280 or if Trump's
00:41:40.840 maybe a little
00:41:41.260 closer to
00:41:41.740 where they
00:41:42.020 are.
00:41:42.900 I would tend
00:41:44.040 to agree with
00:41:44.620 that.
00:41:44.820 It doesn't
00:41:45.240 make sense.
00:41:46.200 I talked to
00:41:46.700 Mike Lee
00:41:47.100 yesterday,
00:41:48.300 and he said,
00:41:49.720 oh,
00:41:50.360 Carrie Lake,
00:41:50.880 I want Carrie 0.68
00:41:51.460 Lake to win
00:41:52.120 so badly.
00:41:53.160 He's like,
00:41:53.580 she's a fighter. 1.00
00:41:54.940 I need a
00:41:55.980 fighter that is
00:41:58.260 in the Senate
00:41:58.820 because we've
00:41:59.360 got a battle
00:42:00.200 to wage.
00:42:00.860 And I
00:42:03.020 said,
00:42:03.220 do you
00:42:03.380 think she's
00:42:03.780 going to
00:42:03.940 win?
00:42:04.080 He said,
00:42:04.460 Trump,
00:42:05.420 I believe,
00:42:06.080 is going
00:42:06.320 to win
00:42:06.740 Arizona
00:42:07.840 handily.
00:42:09.240 And he
00:42:09.620 said,
00:42:09.840 I think
00:42:10.120 that's
00:42:10.460 just going
00:42:10.840 to track
00:42:12.440 with her.
00:42:13.160 I think
00:42:13.420 she's going
00:42:13.780 to be
00:42:14.000 pulled up
00:42:14.480 past the
00:42:15.020 finish line
00:42:15.580 with him.
00:42:17.300 That would
00:42:17.620 make sense
00:42:18.180 to me.
00:42:18.960 Right.
00:42:19.900 I think
00:42:20.380 Mike Lee
00:42:20.760 is right
00:42:21.080 on that.
00:42:21.500 Absolutely.
00:42:22.060 I think
00:42:22.380 he's got
00:42:22.680 a good
00:42:22.880 point.
00:42:23.220 He's got
00:42:23.420 a good
00:42:23.640 eye on
00:42:23.960 it.
00:42:24.520 And just
00:42:24.780 like you
00:42:25.140 said,
00:42:25.440 he's one
00:42:25.780 of our
00:42:26.000 senators
00:42:26.340 who's
00:42:27.280 not just
00:42:27.920 going on
00:42:30.860 fighting
00:42:31.100 hard in
00:42:31.840 the Senate
00:42:32.240 right now
00:42:33.080 on the
00:42:33.500 procedure,
00:42:34.120 on the
00:42:34.440 policy,
00:42:35.280 working to
00:42:35.700 make a
00:42:35.980 difference.
00:42:37.000 Chris Bedford,
00:42:38.000 thank you so
00:42:38.540 much.
00:42:39.320 Chris is the
00:42:40.140 Blaze News
00:42:40.580 senior editor
00:42:41.220 for politics.
00:42:42.060 He's also
00:42:42.460 our Blaze
00:42:43.400 Media
00:42:43.760 Washington
00:42:44.260 correspondent.
00:42:46.540 Are you
00:42:47.620 going to be
00:42:47.940 in Washington
00:42:48.520 the weeks
00:42:50.640 after the
00:42:51.280 election?
00:42:52.580 I sure
00:42:53.200 am.
00:42:54.080 We'll see
00:42:54.680 what happens.
00:42:57.440 Yes,
