Tucker Carlson, J.D. Vance, and the AG of Texas join me to talk about the Democratic National Convention and why you should trust the election. Plus, Glenn talks about why he doesn't trust the Democrats.

00:02:06.900Yeah, the other thing that I've noticed is—and this is really exciting—a month ago, the Democrats and Kamala Harris was telling us that the economy is fine, that there's no problem with the economy.
00:02:24.460In fact, you don't get it if you think there's a problem.
00:02:28.580You know, you have more money, you just don't notice it.
00:02:33.160You know, somehow or another, you're missing that.
00:02:35.260So there was no problem with the economy.
00:02:38.160And now the same people, including Kamala Harris, are telling us, yeah, there is a problem, but we're going to fix it.
00:03:31.280If you're in this same position that I'm in right now, this is—this is—we're in serious trouble as a country, because that's all I keep thinking about when I'm watching this.
00:03:40.420This entire convention is one gigantic lie broken up into a bunch of different speakers.
00:03:46.960And this lie that they're joyful after spending year after year after year saying that their opponents were fascists and dictators that were going to go through and arrest all gay people in the country and put them in camps.
00:04:02.440This is the joyful party, and they keep saying the word freedom over and over again.
00:04:09.580As if this party is based on anything that could possibly be translated as freedom, it's the exact opposite.
00:04:18.900I have to tell you, it is—it's so frustrating because I said when Kamala was chosen, well, this will be good because we can finally have, hey, big government, socialism, you know, universal health care, the experts are in control of everything, versus, no, small government, you're in charge.
00:04:40.880You know, mind your own damn business.
00:05:18.400Yep, for people to call and report their neighbors for when their business was out of line.
00:05:25.760But this is the mind your own damn business guy.
00:05:28.520I mean, the one upside you could find from watching this convention is it's quite clear everyone realizes the Republican message is actually the popular one.
00:05:40.420Because all they're doing is saying the things that conservatives actually believe.
00:05:45.520Now, they're lying about the fact that they're going to do them.
00:06:12.180You just spent multiple years saying everyone would lose their jobs if they didn't take a particular product from Pfizer or Moderna.
00:06:21.000What do you mean you're going to take on big pharma?
00:06:23.540How can you possibly be saying that after what you've done over the past few years?
00:06:28.000They're going to—they want to give you freedom to live the life you want to lead.
00:06:35.580Now, look, we have differing views as to what government is supposed to do, okay, as conservatives and progressives.
00:06:44.300Progressives have a philosophy that at some level, while awful and, in my view, evil, it is rational, which is, look, there are really smart people in the world.
00:06:57.000And those people who have more experience and more knowledge than you should be put in control and in charge of making basic decisions for you.
00:07:21.940But we're going to need a bunch more of your money to be able to put all this infrastructure together, and we'll make those decisions for you.
00:07:28.880We will control the aspects of the life, of your life, that you can't handle.
00:21:18.960And here's the weird thing about all this is you have the entire Democratic campaign running on a kind of collective amnesia
00:21:27.340where they say that Kamala Harris will do this thing on day one or Kamala Harris has a vision to accomplish that thing.
00:21:34.680And then you realize that Kamala Harris has been the vice president for three and a half years.
00:21:38.740And she has affirmatively made all of these problems worse, not better, during her time in office, right?
00:21:45.700So you can't say Kamala Harris is going to secure the border because she opened it up.
00:21:49.380You can't say Kamala Harris is going to lower inflation because she cast a deciding vote on programs that increased inflation.
00:21:55.840So I think that this is just not something that the American people buy.
00:22:00.200And final observation, Glenn, and again, I haven't seen the whole thing, but there's a lot of talk about unity.
00:22:08.800And I remember the old editor's trope of show, don't tell.
00:22:12.600So they're telling a lot about unity, but they're actually in their the rest of their remarks.
00:22:17.560They're showing a very dark vision of half the country where they basically say, if you vote for Donald Trump because you want to change in this country's direction, you're a bad person.
00:22:28.580And if you don't see that he's anti-immigrant and anti-black and anti-woman, then you're a bad person.
00:22:35.720You can't win an election telling Americans that they're bad people because they want to pay lower costs for groceries and housing.
00:22:41.840You win an election by persuading people.
00:22:43.740And I haven't seen a whole lot of that at the DNC.
00:22:45.800But I wonder, though, with the power of the press in lockstep like they are.
00:22:54.280I mean, for instance, it was the Democrats that were are now saying that Kamala is going to fix the economy.
00:23:01.900But it's those same Democrats that were telling us a month ago that you're a conspiracy theorist or you just don't get it if you think the economy is bad because the economy is fine.
00:23:12.480So how do you win and get your argument heard when 80 percent of the news is bad on you and 88 percent on them is great?
00:23:28.900You know, I think we just have to keep on telling our story and telling the truth, Glenn.
00:23:34.200And that's something we do through paid media, commercials, digital advertising and so forth.
00:23:39.220And it's something we do in the mainstream media, even though they're not fair.
00:23:42.980You know, I did five interviews last night with NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS and so forth.
00:23:47.660And I think that the one thing that really differentiates President Trump and me from our opponents is we're willing to take our message to hostile media.
00:23:56.060And so, yeah, they're going to be critical of what we say afterwards.
00:23:58.560But we're at least able to get the message out there because we're willing to engage.
00:24:02.900And, you know, Glenn, you raise a really important point here, which is that if you're an American citizen, you've paid attention to this election.
00:24:10.600You'd be forgiven for having a headache from the ricocheting message of the Democratic Party.
00:24:15.440A month ago, it was the Biden economy was great.
00:24:32.060Let me let me switch to I know you're going to be in Georgia today and you're going to be talking about crime and the border.
00:24:38.280But if you look at every single Western country, especially England, Sweden, Germany, France, every one of them have a problem with what they call refugees.
00:25:02.100This isn't a Biden-Harris problem alone.
00:25:05.740This seems to be happening in every Western country.
00:25:09.640Is this the result of a of a global deep state?
00:25:13.920Well, I think it's certainly the result of a very suicidal set of ideas, which suggests that if you want to have any control on immigration in your own country, you are a bad person.
00:25:27.180You're a racist, et cetera, et cetera.
00:25:29.200And what this has led to is European nations and, of course, the United States being unwilling to control our borders when at least half of our political leadership just doesn't believe in it.
00:25:40.660And I think that we just have to get back to some basic common sense here.
00:25:45.960You don't hate anybody, but you don't necessarily want the entire world to become part of your country.
00:25:50.940And you may even believe that a country can assimilate some measure of immigration, but that doesn't mean you can have everybody, right?
00:26:01.440It's one thing for the United States to take in a few hundred thousand people.
00:26:04.840It's another thing to take in three million people.
00:26:06.960And it's another thing to take in 30 million people, which is probably the current best estimate of the number of illegal aliens we have.
00:26:12.800And it's just preposterous to me that Democrats don't acknowledge this basic reality.
00:26:19.260Whether it's in Europe or the United States, it's led to higher crime.
00:26:22.960It's led to a lot of innocent victims that don't need to have suffered what they've suffered.
00:26:27.900And it's led, I think, really to a real backlash against our leaders, and justifiably so.
00:26:37.220Let me take you to the Secret Service for a second.
00:26:40.980Yesterday, the New York Post reported that he was using encrypted messaging, and he had accounts on various platforms located in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany.
00:27:13.040And I will say this as somebody who newly has a Secret Service detail, and I think the guys that I've worked with are just the consummate professionals.
00:27:21.020They're great people, and they're doing a good job.
00:27:23.460There clearly needs to be some better understanding of what broke about the leadership in the wake of President Trump's assassination attempt.
00:27:33.480And, you know, this is, frankly, on Congress.
00:27:36.400It's on Chuck Schumer's United States Senate, and it's on the Biden administration to get to the bottom of what mistakes were made, right?
00:27:42.800Maybe the mistakes were not intentional.
00:27:44.920You never know, of course, until you do the actual investigation.
00:27:47.400But you have to have a real investigation.
00:27:49.980And if I'm looking at this from the perspective of America's citizens, I'd be demanding that Kamala Harris, who's the Vice President of the United States, actually gets to the bottom of this and empowers her government to do a real investigation that just has not happened yet.
00:28:05.340You know, you would think that every politician would be interested in this, especially if you have Secret Service protection.
00:28:13.660If it is just a flawed system and a series of just bad calls and mistakes, your life is at stake.
00:28:22.980And you would think that everyone would be interested in making sure that, you know, no mistakes were made again.
00:28:38.600Was it something about the processes or the procedures?
00:28:41.360These are the sorts of things where, you know, we always believe in democratic government that sunshine is the best disinfectant.
00:28:48.460And so we really do have to have, I think, a more honest accounting of what went wrong.
00:28:52.540Obviously, some of the leadership has faced some pressure, but that's not really what we're talking about.
00:28:56.860We're talking about a real investigation.
00:28:58.940I know, you know, Ron Johnson, my colleague from Wisconsin, a great friend, has really looked into this aggressively.
00:29:05.100He's trying to get to the bottom of it.
00:29:06.780But when you're a minority senator in the minority party, there's only so much you can do.
00:29:11.400Frankly, if Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris made this a priority, we would know everything we needed to know a month from now.
00:29:17.780It's interesting to me that RFK is coming on probably tomorrow and endorsing.
00:29:27.500And then you also have Elon Musk saying that he would like a position to be, you know, in charge of cutting.
00:29:35.360Is there serious discussion about Elon Musk coming on?
00:29:38.780And with RFK, where do you think he would be best?
00:29:42.500Yeah, so try not to put the cart too much before the horse with Elon, of course, because I think he's a genius and I think he could help us a great deal.
00:29:51.440But we have to win the election first, of course, before we give Elon any positions or any titles here.
00:29:57.720I think RFK really could do a lot for us on questions of, you know, we had 8,000 veterans, I believe, maybe more that we kicked out of the military because they refused to take a vaccine.
00:30:11.140I mean, I'd love for RFK to take a look at that, but I haven't talked to him.
00:30:15.880I think the best signal that RFK can send is, look, the Kennedy Democratic Party has transformed into the open borders, high inflation Kamala Harris Democratic Party.
00:30:27.640And if you're like my grandparents, I mean, I was raised by blue dogs, socially conservative Democrats, Glenn.
00:30:32.400If you're like my grandparents, the Kennedy Democrats are now going for Donald J. Trump and the Republicans.
00:30:39.380And I think that's a powerful message to send to the American people, that the old Democratic Party was a great thing, a great institution.
00:30:46.160We didn't have to agree with it all the time, but they were patriotic people.
00:30:49.480They are no longer welcome in this crazy new thing that Kamala Harris is in charge of.
00:30:53.800You know, I'm really appreciative that you came out and said nice things about your particular opponent who has been really raking you over the coals and everything else.
00:31:06.260And that we had an honest conversation about actual politics and not nonsense.
00:31:11.440And I think the American people appreciate that.
00:33:51.580Anyone who's been in a car crash or any kind of unexpected traumatic event knows it takes months to sort of reconstruct what happened.
00:33:59.320That's how I feel about what we've seen in the past six weeks from the debate where it was just obvious four minutes in that Biden, that everything we suspected about Biden was true, that he could not continue, that he couldn't run the country, that he hadn't been running the country.
00:34:14.240And that he would be taken off the ticket.
00:34:16.200That was just immediately obvious to me.
00:34:17.980Then watching the coordinated media response to that, where you realize, well, wait a second.
00:34:29.920And then you thought, well, wait, everything is fake.
00:34:33.740And I think a lot of people had begun to suspect that over the last few years when it became clear, say the CIA was playing a meaningful role in our domestic elections.
00:34:42.580Like that's, you know, no one really thought, no one, I'll speak for myself, I didn't really think that could be happening.
00:34:49.020And I thought maybe only wackos thought it could happen, but then it turned out to be confirmed.
00:34:53.620But when that debate happened and the media as one, acting as one, as they always do, basically kicked Joe Biden off the ticket in the first six minutes after the debate, you realized, wait a second.
00:35:08.320Like there's a whole level of control of governance that immune from voters.
00:35:15.600Like we have no, we have no role in this at all.
00:35:24.400And my gosh, you know, at the very deepest level, there is a conspiracy, maybe unarticulated, maybe a conspiracy of like-minded temperament or instinct or whatever.
00:35:33.120But it's definitely coordinated to disempower the rest of us on behalf of like the people already in charge.
00:35:41.920And then everything that happened since then confirmed it.
00:35:45.100Trump, you know, the Biden administration allows Trump to get shot, whether intentionally or not.
00:35:52.180Having spent, you know, an awful lot of time at events with Secret Service, I know you have as well, over 30 years, that what they allowed to happen that day, you know, they allowed that.
00:36:01.240So, and then you realize that Secret Service is corrupt.
00:36:04.260So if you have a country where the Secret Service, the presidential bodyguard, the Praetorian Guard of the president is corrupt as a political instrument.
00:36:12.560And it joins the CIA and FBI and the entire DOJ and ATF and, you know, every three-letter agency.
00:36:19.360They're all working on behalf of a political party or the ruling cabal that controls that political party.
00:36:24.460I mean, that is just so bewildering that you think, well, you know, what is true?
00:36:36.600I have asked that question of everybody I know, and nobody seems to have an answer.
00:36:43.880If you look at what's happening over in Europe with their illegal problem or their refugees and how the governments over there are responding to the people,
00:36:54.580and you see it's exactly the same problems, it's exactly the same laws, the same responses, the same media response, and then you know that Joe Biden is incapable, who the hell has been the president?
00:37:31.440No one can test their right to be that.
00:37:33.820But it's happening in the historic homeland of Christianity from Scandinavia, really all the way to Hungary and Central Europe is kind of the border.
00:38:04.400It's, as you said, exactly the same thing.
00:38:06.140It's much bigger than just, you know, the refugee agencies pushing people in because they're liberal and the media is supporting them because they're liberal, too.
00:38:18.440Why would you want to destroy that civilization, which they are doing, and probably to the point where it kind of can't be fixed in any recognizable form, because demographics really is kind of the core question of a society.
00:38:36.640I guess this is a very long answer to a short question, but I just would sum it up by saying it's so big, it's so bewildering, it's so distressing that it's kind of shut my brain down.
00:38:46.940And I'm only now trying to figure out, you know, what do you do?
00:38:54.260I've been saying for the last couple of weeks, you know, as I saw this whole thing unfold and know how close we are to the edge, that this may be the last election, and I don't even know if it'll be free and fair, but it'll be the last election in the country as we know it or have known it.
00:39:21.300I mean, if you vote for Harris-Biden, it is, or I mean, Harris-Walls, you're pulling the trigger of socialism and authoritarianism.
00:39:37.660I mean, it's all there, and they're saying it out in the open.
00:39:41.800And I'm hearing from 20-somethings that are saying, oh, you guys always say that it's going to be, you know, the most important election of your life.
00:39:55.400Well, I think it's – I don't think it's political, for one thing.
00:39:59.280So I don't think it's even worth thinking in terms of, like, the election or whatever.
00:40:03.500It's like the changes coming to the United States or in progress in the United States and in Western Europe, again, all the way to the Hungarian border, you know, sort of Austria-West, but also New Zealand, also Australia, also Canada, you know, the Anglosphere, the European world.
00:40:20.320And, like, the changes are so big and so profound and permanent that, you know, I don't even – I don't really know anybody who fully understands what's going on.
00:40:32.660And I spend my entire life trying to find people who do and talk to them.
00:40:36.360So, you know, I don't know, but I think we should all be thinking in much, much bigger terms than we are.
00:40:44.480I mean, I don't think the 2020 election was free and fair.
00:41:39.400But I'm just – I try to be an analytical person and reach conclusions on the basis of the evidence that I can see, not the things I hear, but the things I see, because, you know, you can't disrupt your senses with lies.
00:41:52.740Like, I'm just trying to be honest with myself.
00:41:54.360And I see a total transformation of the historically Christian world, and I don't know how it shakes out.
00:42:02.160But I know that the stakes are, you know, just couldn't be higher.
00:42:05.940So, you know, preventing Kamala Harris and that incredibly creepy, you know, wrestling coach or football coach or that guy, guy, air quotes, running with her.
00:42:16.700I mean, he's just – he, that guy, is just completely undisguised.
00:42:20.200Like, I know exactly who that guy is, having been to boarding school.
00:44:10.380And the thing I find hilarious, the reason I laughed, is to call something that's demonstrably true, like gravity, a theory, is itself, like, deceptive.
00:44:44.080But the country is growing really fast because new people are being imported.
00:44:48.700So by definition, again, as a math equation, the people who lived here in 2000, which was not that long ago, are being replaced by immigrants.
