00:00:38.980 Your prediction was interesting.
00:00:40.800 I'll say that.
00:00:41.340 Probably right.
00:00:42.500 More than yours.
00:00:43.240 Oh, well, 50-50.
00:00:44.580 Ah, please.
00:00:45.580 Give it a rest.

00:01:17.100 That's the next president of the United States.
00:01:20.080 We are so clever.
00:01:22.000 We're cool.
00:01:22.300 We're cool.
00:01:23.180 All right.
00:01:23.440 We'll see it tonight on our election coverage Blaze TV.
00:01:27.100 Here's the podcast.
00:01:27.660 So when that crazy day comes, when there's a weather emergency, for instance, the grocery stores are emptied out of everything except kale and vegan cheese.
00:01:37.060 On that crazy day, you're going to desperately wish you and your family had some food stored at home.
00:01:42.400 Something to get you by until things are normal again.
00:01:45.220 Unless, of course, you've stocked up on food from My Patriot Supply.
00:01:48.620 And in that case, you might not even notice that there's an emergency going on.
00:01:52.840 Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do.
00:01:55.900 We live in crazy times, and you and your family could need it.
00:01:59.720 Right now, you can get started by ordering three-month emergency food kits from My Patriot Supply.
00:02:04.680 And each kit comes with delicious foods, things like creamy stroganoff, honey, wheat bread, mushroom, rice pilaf.
00:02:11.760 The entire kit offers 2,000 calories a day and can last in storage for up to 25 years.
00:02:17.560 Who knows what things will look like by then.
00:02:21.120 MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:02:22.960 MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:02:23.960 Order your three-month emergency food kit right now from MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:02:39.780 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:44.460 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:46.420 It is Election Day.
00:02:47.660 If you haven't voted, if somebody in your family hasn't voted, get them out to vote.
00:02:53.780 As long as they're, you know, they've done their homework.
00:02:57.020 Don't send a moron in there.
00:02:58.880 I don't know.
00:02:59.800 I don't know.
00:03:01.320 No, don't.
00:03:02.660 You know what?
00:03:04.100 You don't.
00:03:04.840 You shouldn't vote.
00:03:05.460 Now, there's, according to the Daily Caller, five key bellwethers to watch on Election Day.
00:03:12.140 And I want to go over them with Stu because Stu is the guy who watches all of these numbers.
00:03:16.720 And yesterday, you predicted a Trump victory.
00:03:19.920 Yeah.
00:03:21.800 Yeah.
00:03:22.680 I'm very hesitant to Trump victory.
00:03:24.480 I'm very undecided.
00:03:26.040 You didn't do that last in 2020.
00:03:27.720 You said we weren't going to win, right?
00:03:29.200 In fact, 2020, you got the electoral count exactly right.
00:03:31.980 Really?
00:03:32.580 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden.
00:03:34.260 And everyone hates you when you say that.
00:03:36.080 I know.
00:03:36.400 I know.
00:03:36.860 But, you know, that's what I thought was going to happen.
00:03:40.420 Yeah.
00:03:40.640 It wound up coming true.
00:03:41.800 But this time, I'm not nearly as sure.
00:03:43.840 I don't have a really strong opinion.
00:03:45.540 We did our show last night on Studos America, our final predictions, and I got to those swing states.
00:03:50.700 And, you know, a couple of them I have a vibe on.
00:03:53.920 You know, a couple of them I'm kind of just guessing.
00:03:56.120 I mean, really, I hate to say it that way, but it's kind of where you are.
00:03:59.260 You're taking your vibes.
00:04:00.120 You're kind of encapsulating 18 months of campaigning into a feeling.
00:04:05.180 And I think a lot of people are going to do that today.
00:04:07.080 I would not bet money on who's going to win.
00:04:09.500 She can win this election.
00:04:10.820 But also, there's a good chance that one of these two candidates, you know, sweeps all seven of these swing states and winds up with what feels like an easy victory.
00:04:21.860 It won't be.
00:04:23.460 You know, I don't think it will be an easy victory.
00:04:25.320 If you start seeing someone taking out states, those fringe swing states, you know, New Hampshire, Virginia for Trump, you know, going the other way, Texas for Kamala, Florida for Kamala, Iowa for Kamala.
00:04:39.200 If that stuff starts happening, that's a blowout.
00:04:41.040 It's a blowout.
00:04:41.600 But, like, you know, these seven swing states, if they all go to one of the two candidates, I don't think it's going to be too much of a blowout.
00:04:46.780 It's going to be very, very – I'm very, very undecided on it.
00:04:50.160 I came up – my final count was 291 electoral votes for Trump.
00:04:54.120 But as I was putting it together as a final prediction yesterday for the show, I reversed myself on two or three states multiple times.
00:05:02.260 And that is not – when you're doing that, you know – I've been watching this obsessively for 18 months.
00:05:09.860 And an hour before I go to the air, I'm reversing states.
00:05:13.480 That tells you that we don't know.
00:05:14.760 So here are the things – and I'd like to hear your point of view on this.
00:05:19.240 These are the things you should watch for.
00:05:21.240 Early returns in Pennsylvania.
00:05:24.500 It is probably one of the most important states.
00:05:28.500 Likely a tipping point.
00:05:30.000 You lose this one.
00:05:31.680 I mean, you can gain –
00:05:33.180 You can do it, but it's hard.
00:05:34.120 You can do it, but it's very hard.
00:05:35.460 Especially for – I mean, Kamala needs it, you'd think.
00:05:39.160 Yeah.
00:05:39.360 If Trump can get it, he's probably winning this election.
00:05:43.020 This is why, you know, Kamala was out knocking doors last night. 1.00
00:05:47.820 Quote, unquote, knocking doors.
00:05:50.500 Somebody else was knocking the door.
00:05:52.020 You know, Kamala supporter.
00:05:53.380 Or like the part where they were like, hey, Kamala – Kamala goes up to the people.
00:05:56.600 Hey, they want to film you coming out.
00:05:58.320 Will you go back in and I can knock on the door again?
00:06:00.460 The fact that that sort of stuff is happening –
00:06:02.500 That's so bad.
00:06:03.100 What a perfect last-minute encapsulation of the Kamala Harris campaign. 0.99
00:06:06.560 Yeah, just fake.
00:06:07.140 Perfect.
00:06:07.540 All of it, fake.
00:06:08.960 So Pennsylvania, 80,000 votes in Pennsylvania decided 2020.
00:06:13.900 90,000 Amish in Pennsylvania.
00:06:16.300 Also, 80,000 truckers in Pennsylvania that didn't really turn out last time
00:06:21.120 because a lot of them were on the road.
00:06:23.200 The GOP has been all over that.
00:06:24.840 Make sure that they have, you know, ballots, mail-in ballots.
00:06:29.360 Also, just this weekend, on the other side,
00:06:32.020 the Harris campaign knocked on almost a million doors.
00:06:35.700 807,000 doors were knocked.
00:06:38.280 In 2020, in Pennsylvania, Democrats had the advantage of more than 1.1 million mail-in ballots.
00:06:45.120 They knew a couple of weeks before we are going to win.
00:06:49.140 Today, the Democrats only have an advantage of 400,000.
00:06:54.280 That's a 700,000-vote swing that they're down, and that is good if people show up today to vote.
00:07:03.800 Virginia is also another one.
00:07:06.060 Harris is probably going to win Virginia.
00:07:07.800 But if Donald Trump picks up Virginia, that's a big deal.
00:07:12.760 If he loses Virginia under five points, that's also a big deal.
00:07:18.540 Yeah.
00:07:18.820 If he can keep it within five points, I think he's probably going to win the election.
00:07:23.600 Yeah.
00:07:24.220 Yeah.
00:07:24.460 And we should know that pretty early, shouldn't we?
00:07:26.860 Yeah.
00:07:27.140 The polls close relatively early.
00:07:29.500 That's not one of those states that takes a month to count, typically.
00:07:32.300 Though, well, that's not going to be instant.
00:07:33.700 It's not like, you know, again, Florida is the gold standard here.
00:07:35.700 Florida, which is shocking after 2000.
00:07:37.880 But they actually fixed their system.
00:07:39.320 They're the ones that are going to give you the first results.
00:07:41.580 But Florida also isn't always the best bellwether.
00:07:44.400 You know, we've seen this before where, you know, in 2022, it was a big situation, if you remember correctly, because DeSantis won by so much that everyone was like, oh, my gosh, this is a Republican wave election because they were one of the first results.
00:07:58.780 Right.
00:07:59.040 And it did not wind up panning out in other states.
00:08:01.940 Sometimes Florida is a little bit different.
00:08:03.680 And since they're the first kind of like big state we hear about, it often gives you the wrong impression.
00:08:09.260 I mean, if it goes poorly in Florida for Donald Trump, it will be a bad night.
00:08:14.640 Well, the polling is interesting there, Glenn, because, you know, we've kind of thought now that because of what DeSantis has done in Florida, that this is just a bright red state.
00:08:22.900 Look, Rick Scott is up by three points in Florida in a lot of these polls.
00:08:26.100 Donald Trump is up by four or five points in some polls in Florida.
00:08:28.860 I think he's going to win, but it's going to be a heck of a lot closer than DeSantis when he won by, what was it, 19?
00:08:33.620 Yeah, and I have to tell you, the other thing that's disturbing is the Cruz campaign called us to get him on the air today.
00:08:40.880 They are concerned about Texas, and you should be concerned about Texas.
00:08:44.540 It is very close.
00:08:46.100 They have spent millions and millions and millions of dollars, and Ted Cruz has done it all on his supporters and himself.
00:08:55.520 They've been outspent like crazy because of Mitch McConnell.
00:09:00.540 Yeah, and George Soros.
00:09:01.980 And George Soros, yes.
00:09:02.900 You know, I mean, McConnell not giving money to Cruz is a factor, but the Democrats are targeting this with hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:09:10.280 So another thing to watch for is the Muslims in Michigan. 0.99
00:09:13.180 If they don't show up or they're voting third party or they're voting for Trump, which I find that hard to believe, but you've had, you know, the mayor of the biggest Muslim community in Michigan come out and endorse, along with a lot of the imams, endorsed Donald Trump.
00:09:28.200 I find it hard to believe.
00:09:31.880 Yeah, if Trump is going to be like, hey, you know, we're going to win this election if we get a lot of the Muslim vote, I think he's, you know, probably, that's not the position you want to be in.
00:09:41.540 No.
00:09:41.800 No, but he'll take them.
00:09:43.840 Yeah, he'll take their vote.
00:09:44.660 100%.
00:09:44.980 Take it.
00:09:45.840 Yeah, for sure.
00:09:46.440 For sure.
00:09:47.760 The pitch to suburban women. 0.98
00:09:50.880 Now, this goes down to Iowa.
00:09:53.620 I think if he loses Iowa, it could be a rough night.
00:09:59.120 He's not counted out.
00:10:00.940 He's not mathematically eliminated, but if he loses Iowa, there's no way he's winning this election.
00:10:05.320 You don't think so?
00:10:05.960 I don't think so.
00:10:06.780 I mean, that doesn't mean mathematically he's eliminated.
00:10:10.140 It doesn't mean, like, he can't win.
00:10:12.040 He definitely could theoretically win.
00:10:14.240 But in an environment where he loses the state, which, again, this makes no sense to me.
00:10:18.380 You know, Kim Reynolds won the state by 19 points two years ago in a bad year for Republicans. 0.83
00:10:23.800 I know.
00:10:24.000 We've seen increases all over the place in Republican registration.
00:10:27.560 That's not early.
00:10:28.340 I'm, as I mentioned to you off the air, I'm super skeptical of trying to take anything out of early vote, particularly this year.
00:10:34.740 When you're comparing early vote to the COVID year, God only knows what you're getting.
00:10:39.800 I'm not surprised that all the Democrats' early vote numbers are down.
00:10:42.720 They were all terrified.
00:10:43.580 They wouldn't go outdoors at the time this election was taking place.
00:10:46.720 But you are, people are motivated.
00:10:50.920 Or not.
00:10:51.420 I agree.
00:10:52.120 And I don't think, I think where the hidden number is in these polls is the lack of motivation for Harris.
00:11:03.180 People will talk a good game.
00:11:04.880 I'm for Harris.
00:11:05.720 And some will go out and vote.
00:11:06.880 And some polls even show her enthusiasm higher than Trump's, which doesn't make any sense to me.
00:11:11.020 It doesn't make sense to me.
00:11:11.540 No way.
00:11:12.160 But that's even shown in some polls.
00:11:14.740 No way.
00:11:15.260 No way.
00:11:15.920 I mean, look, we all know it's not Kamala enthusiasm.
00:11:18.980 The correct way to look at it is anti-Trump enthusiasm.
00:11:22.780 You know, and that sort of does connect with me.
00:11:25.680 I do see Democrats feeling that way.
00:11:28.900 Not that I feel that way, but I'm saying as far as they do.
00:11:31.080 Oh, yeah.
00:11:31.320 Like, we know they hate him.
00:11:33.660 We got it.
00:11:34.380 Yeah.
00:11:34.940 They're really wanting to keep Hitler out of office.
00:11:38.140 We got it.
00:11:38.840 They're hypnotized.
00:11:39.500 So I think there is that.
00:11:40.580 When it comes to early vote, though, like the numbers coming up for Republicans, I think,
00:11:45.040 can be partially explained by the fact that Trump discouraged early vote in 2020.
00:11:49.800 Yes, he did.
00:11:50.020 And now he's encouraging it.
00:11:51.100 So I'm not surprised to see those numbers come up.
00:11:53.100 And I'm not surprised to see them come down for Democrats.
00:11:55.400 Because in 2020, there was COVID and they were all afraid to go to restaurants, let alone go out to vote.
00:12:00.540 Yeah.
00:12:00.700 So I'm not at all surprised by that.
00:12:02.540 I'm not saying that that means bad things.
00:12:05.300 Obviously, I predicted Trump to win.
00:12:07.020 But here is the here's what.
00:12:09.400 The Republicans are counting on in the polls for people who are planning on voting today.
00:12:16.900 He is up by 16 points.
00:12:20.400 If that would hold.
00:12:23.440 It would be hard for the Democrats to pull this off.
00:12:27.800 You disagree with that.
00:12:29.000 You may be right.
00:12:29.680 I just don't I don't have a spreadsheet out to make a prediction like that.
00:12:33.280 I have not.
00:12:35.180 I don't know.
00:12:36.300 It's possible.
00:12:37.180 You're right.
00:12:37.660 I don't know, though.
00:12:38.600 You know, there's so many factors that go into this.
00:12:40.980 And the other part of it that we don't know at all from early vote.
00:12:43.880 One important thing.
00:12:44.900 We have no idea who any independents voted for.
00:12:48.420 I mean, we don't have any idea who anyone voted for.
00:12:50.940 But we assume the Republicans vote for the Republican.
00:12:53.260 Democrats vote for Democrats.
00:12:54.660 Independents.
00:12:55.180 We have no indication whatsoever.
00:12:57.720 Right.
00:12:57.860 We have no indication from early vote what independents did.
00:13:01.460 So in an election that is this close.
00:13:03.840 I know.
00:13:04.300 Kind of an important nugget of information.
00:13:06.900 But then I go.
00:13:08.100 You're basing it all on numbers and facts and figures.
00:13:10.840 I'm basing mine all on gut.
00:13:12.140 Yeah.
00:13:12.660 And, you know, we've lost the ability to predict the American people long ago.
00:13:19.200 But, you know, I'll explain it at the top of next hour.
00:13:22.500 Why I feel as strongly as I do with the one caveat.
00:13:28.380 I don't know if I can predict the American people anymore.
00:13:31.300 I don't know.
00:13:32.620 I mean, our education system has turned out morons and idiots that don't even know what it means to be a republic versus a democracy.
00:13:43.240 So nobody knows our institutions.
00:13:45.980 Nobody knows why this was founded this way.
00:13:48.200 So maybe they don't get it.
00:13:51.600 Megan was in a horrible car accident that left her with shooting pains down her neck and back.
00:13:57.880 It was so bad that she was going to go to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist.
00:14:02.040 She went six times a week.
00:14:04.860 Then she heard about Relief Factor, decided to give it a try.
00:14:07.560 Within two days, her pain began to subside.
00:14:09.780 Within a few weeks, she said, I was back to normal.
00:14:12.900 Megan considers her discovery of Relief Factor nothing short of a miracle, and it shows.

00:14:57.780 Now back to the podcast.
00:14:59.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:06.660 Yes, Bridget Phetasy.
00:15:09.440 Welcome to the program.
00:15:11.980 Thank you for having me.
00:15:17.340 Wow.
00:15:18.160 From California to a Texan suburban mom voting for Trump.
00:15:25.720 Would you ever guess?
00:15:27.120 No, no.
00:15:28.300 Well, actually, yes.
00:15:29.560 After I had my first conversation with you, I thought, I think I told you,
00:15:33.860 it's only a matter of time.
00:15:35.980 You did tell me.
00:15:38.900 When I checked that little box for Trump, I was like, Glenn Beck, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:44.760 So you made a great case on why you voted for Donald Trump, something that I think you would have sworn even three, four years ago.
00:15:57.740 I'll never do.
00:15:58.780 Right?
00:16:00.300 Yeah.
00:16:00.780 I mean, it's really interesting.
00:16:02.380 It is fascinating to me to think about how the, you know, I voted against Trump in California in 2016.
00:16:12.120 In 2020, I voted for nobody.
00:16:14.940 I just couldn't bear either one of those people.
00:16:18.780 And I was actually at the time very much in limbo about where I, what I wanted to do.
00:16:25.900 Did I want to stay in California?
00:16:27.200 Did I want to go to Texas?
00:16:28.740 I wanted to get out, but I had family there.
00:16:31.240 And many people saw me through that indecision and then decision.
00:16:37.720 And now I'm in Texas voting for Trump.
00:16:41.660 And it does, it kind of does show me that if the left goes too far, and of course, I'm only anecdotal.
00:16:48.740 And I've heard from many women like me, they do lose their bread and butter, which is white women. 1.00
00:16:56.300 You know, they're, they, they, they have gone quite far to be pushing someone like me out of the party.
00:17:05.100 Yeah.
00:17:06.060 Yeah.
00:17:06.960 Yeah.
00:17:07.920 Um, the, the thing that was a turning point for you, what was it?
00:17:13.040 Was it one thing?
00:17:13.960 There were so many million, you know, I was thinking about this Glenn the other day, that it's actually more death by a million cuts.
00:17:21.560 I think it was really trying to engage with them and then just being pushed out and being told, you know, in the early days of coming on your show, nobody on the left wanted to, no panel wanted to hear why I was injured, what issues I had with my own party.
00:17:41.060 They would say, oh, you're, you know, racist and xenophobic and transphobic for even going on any of these other shows that you've gone on.
00:17:50.180 And then there is, um, I think COVID really broke a lot of brains, particularly those of us who were in states that were heavily locked down.
00:18:02.160 And we saw the government overreach and felt completely powerless to do anything about it.
00:18:08.740 And then there were just the, the, the looting, the rioting, the, um, turning the other cheek with the smashing grabs, the degeneration, like the, just decay everywhere in the cities.
00:18:23.760 And, um, how much, how much, how much of a role did the, um, transgender stuff for kids play a role with you as a mom?
00:18:34.420 That was, that's big too.
00:18:36.220 I mean, becoming then as I was getting to that 2022, I have a child, I'm radicalized in a different way.
00:18:43.000 I'm sitting in, you know, birthing classes and they're calling us birthing persons, which sounds way more handmade tale than anything that's coming.
00:18:53.700 They accused the right of, and, um, people act, you know, the thing, then there's the frustration of people acting like this isn't happening.
00:19:04.160 So I'll say, people will say, this isn't a big deal.
00:19:07.300 This isn't really happening.
00:19:09.120 You don't see this in schools.
00:19:11.040 It's like every parent I know is talking about this.
00:19:14.080 You obviously don't have children.
00:19:15.980 If you don't think that this stuff is happening and parents are discussing it and they're making decisions about where they live, where they send their kids to school based on if there's pronouns in the bio of the people who are emailing them or not.
00:19:32.820 And so that was another one.
00:19:35.060 And then October 7th was a big one for me.
00:19:37.680 When I saw people tearing down posters of kidnapped children and siding with literal terrorists, I was like, okay, okay, I am sorry.
00:19:48.300 This is, there's something wrong with this ideology that is, is deeply destructive and toxic to Western civilization in general.
00:19:59.560 You know, I, I can see people that, um, disagree on abortion and have honest disagreements, but when it comes to having an abortion van outside of your convention, um, it, it just goes way out of the mainstream.
00:20:17.560 And you, you start to think, wow, that, I mean, huh, is Satan running on this ticket?
00:20:23.160 You know, you know what I mean?
00:20:24.580 I, I think so.
00:20:26.700 I think we all are in bubbles.
00:20:29.220 Here's the, the other thing that's happened since 2020 even is that everyone's kind of gone into their little media silos.
00:20:36.480 Everything's stratified even more.
00:20:38.980 And I was burned in 2022 by thinking there would be a red wave as punishment for a lot of the draconian stuff we saw and mistakes around COVID.
00:20:49.660 And I underestimated how much abortion would play into that decision-making.
00:20:56.100 And I will not make that mistake again.
00:20:58.980 And I think people in, on our side, I can't believe I'm saying that need to be, um, I, I think we need to be very prepared for what could be a decisive Harris win tonight.
00:21:17.540 I, it would, it would be somewhat surprising, but every, I'm in a bubble, you know, I, I'm surrounded by people who are people it's, it's preference bias, it's confirmation bias.
00:21:30.380 It's all of these things that are telling me that led me to believe that, um, that there would be a red wave.
00:21:39.360 And I was very wrong about that.
00:21:41.940 Yeah.
00:21:42.520 I wasn't confident, uh, in 2020.
00:21:45.020 I mean, I couldn't believe it when it happened, but I wasn't confident, uh, that we were going to win this time.
00:21:54.280 There's just too many things that, uh, you know, they're just historic.
00:22:00.760 You know, I, I, uh, tweeted something.
00:22:03.240 Let me see if I can pull this up.
00:22:04.420 Tweeted something yesterday, a prediction on this, and I could very well be wrong.
00:22:08.560 Um, but you know, in, in looking at it last, uh, yesterday and saying, okay, where do I really stand?
00:22:16.240 What do I think is going to happen?
00:22:17.420 This is what I wrote.
00:22:18.580 Every piece of historic information on elections tell you this should be a blowout right track, wrong track.
00:22:25.240 The number is at 28.
00:22:26.460 No incumbent has ever won with a number that low economy, war, immigration, all favor.
00:22:32.300 Trump crime in our communities.
00:22:34.420 The same doctors behind the vaccines are now behind the child mutilation.
00:22:38.740 Momentum is all for Trump.
00:22:41.440 One campaign is against something.
00:22:44.060 The other is promoting a positive vision.
00:22:46.820 The positive visionary is a hero that they've tried to kill two times.
00:22:51.340 He's still standing and happy, not vengeful.
00:22:54.980 The same campaign has a huge crossover appeal with RFK and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:22:59.920 That's the same campaign that has the biggest inspirational visionary of the last 120 years and Elon Musk.
00:23:06.420 The press is actually the only and biggest advocate for Harris and totally discredited themselves.
00:23:14.000 The race, the Nazi, the, um, you know, uh, feminist stuff is so 2010 at this point.
00:23:21.500 She has no answers on what her vision is, except I'm not the Nazi or the old guy.
00:23:27.340 Now, with the exception of cheating, historically, everything is real.
00:23:32.800 Donald Trump.
00:23:33.460 He ran a great campaign, right man for the right time.
00:23:37.020 I pray I'm not wrong, but everything points to a big win for Donald J. Trump.
00:23:40.600 Do you disagree with any of that?
00:23:43.860 Uh, I, I, I think I, I don't disagree with it.
00:23:48.540 I, I actually think there's been a massive political realignment.
00:23:52.200 So no matter what happens tonight, that momentum is not going away.
00:23:56.760 No matter, you know, there is a huge realignment.
00:24:00.420 People who didn't need to endorse came out and endorsed like myself.
00:24:04.780 I felt like I could have, I could have just been quiet and I could have not voted.
00:24:09.700 I'm in Texas.
00:24:10.300 Or I could have just been quiet about my vote because my brand is political homelessness.
00:24:16.640 Or, but even though I would argue it's actually, my thing is actually just being honest.
00:24:21.460 And I, I think when people ask me, well, you, yes, you're voting against the left.
00:24:26.540 You're not voting for Donald Trump, but you didn't really need to vote for him.
00:24:29.660 But I would argue you do.
00:24:32.000 You have to be accounted for in the popular vote.
00:24:36.360 A nothing vote is not a vote against the left.
00:24:40.480 It is a nothing vote.
00:24:41.760 And I wanted to be accounted for as someone who's saying no to all of that.
00:24:47.720 And you can't do that sitting out.
00:24:50.180 That is, that has been my message, uh, to my friends and family.
00:24:56.560 This time is spiritually for me.
00:24:59.140 This time it counts.
00:25:00.580 It may not count in the state of Texas, although we're close here in Texas.
00:25:04.360 It may not count in the state of Texas.
00:25:06.440 If you're going to vote for, you know, uh, Donald Trump, but it will count eternally.
00:25:11.620 This, you must take a stand on this, on this election.
00:25:16.320 You have to be choose a side or you've already chosen a side.
00:25:19.960 You know what I mean?
00:25:21.520 I hope that the men, you know, I, I really do understand being disaffected more than,
00:25:27.780 than I think being in this space kind of caught in the crossfire and coming from one place and really having good faith discussions with the remaining people on the left who aren't completely out of their minds and good faith, um, just debates about things.
00:25:45.940 I do believe that people care deeply about this country.
00:25:52.780 And that does inspire me.
00:25:54.580 One of the things that makes this country great is that we are this tension where we can work things out and hash things out.
00:26:04.040 Yeah.
00:26:04.100 And I really, I, I do have faith.
00:26:08.440 The sun just broke through the clouds as I'm talking about this in a very poetic moment, but I do, I, you know, I don't like all of this discussion of like, this could be the last.
00:26:19.740 It was funny because Oprah and Elon were both trending because they both said this could be our last election.
00:26:24.780 And I'm like, well, if they both are saying it, can we just, can it like cancel each other out?
00:26:31.040 Well, I think it is.
00:26:32.120 I think it is that stark.
00:26:33.580 We choose tonight today.
00:26:35.500 We choose one direction or another, and they are both very, very different, uh, Americas in the end. 0.95
00:26:43.140 I, you know, I, I, I prefer to look at it and Donald Trump, I thought in the last few weeks has really done a great job at this.
00:26:49.640 Uh, and with the help of RFK and, uh, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard, this is a new America.
00:26:55.900 There could be a, a golden era around the corner.
00:27:00.320 If we vote the right way, pay attention and he can do the things with this, this coalition of different minds that he wants to put around himself.
00:27:11.900 I think there could be a new golden age of America.
00:27:14.400 So it's, it's, uh, the, either the death of the Republic or the rebirth of the Republic.
00:27:20.520 Maybe.
00:27:21.340 I mean, that's what, like I said, that political realignment, no matter what happened, we, we, we, we're all like that, that occurred, you know, something happened.
00:27:31.780 No matter what happened, something happened.
00:27:34.620 And that momentum and energy is not going away.
00:27:37.920 One last question for you on the, um, do you think the endorsement of Elon Musk and yesterday, Joe Rogan, do you think that makes any difference at all?
00:27:46.760 I think even mine, people have, not that I'm some huge star, but I think people need permission in this moment.
00:27:56.800 And it was part of the reason that I wanted to come out.
00:27:59.980 And I've heard from so many women in particular that they were on the fence or they were, because people alone feel crazy.
00:28:08.320 They don't feel this.
00:28:09.780 They haven't heard somebody like me or it's like, they might be like, why do I want to vote for this guy?
00:28:15.840 And they don't know why.
00:28:17.400 And they feel crazy because they've never voted a Republican in their life.
00:28:21.440 And you just need a little push, just a little bit of somebody saying like, Hey, I didn't want to do this, but here's why I think, and lay it out.
00:28:30.600 And I think people like Elon Musk and Joe, they give people permission to, um, do that thing that they might not want.
00:28:39.160 And they might not be comfortable doing, or they might feel like, you know, if your brain, it's like you're, you're, if you're a liberal, you're just, it's hard to make that leap.
00:28:48.760 I get it.
00:28:49.760 Yeah.
00:28:50.100 Bridget, thank you so much.
00:28:51.480 God bless you.
00:28:52.460 That's Bridget Fetasy, the, uh, spectator, contributing editor and columnist, uh, also the host of Walk-Ins.
00:28:58.840 Welcome and the host of the weekly dumpster fire, uh, Bridget Fetasy, Fetasy.com.
00:29:05.140 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:11.780 Senator Ted Cruz has been campaigning and fighting an uphill battle here in Texas because, uh, several, I think it's, is it 200 or $300 million have been spent, uh, by George Soros and the likes of George Soros, uh, to stop Ted Cruz from being, uh, a senator.
00:29:31.260 And his, uh, competitor is, I mean, you watch TV and it is just agonizing.
00:29:37.960 Non-stop ads.
00:29:38.340 Oh my God.
00:29:38.760 Oh my God.
00:29:39.780 One after another, after another.
00:29:41.680 Uh, and he hasn't had any help from the GOP in Washington, which really pisses me off.
00:29:48.640 Um, thank you so much McConnell.
00:29:51.200 Uh, but Ted Cruz joins us now.
00:29:53.040 Ted, how are you feeling today?
00:29:54.900 Glenn, my friend, great to be with you.
00:29:56.820 I'm feeling terrific.
00:29:57.960 Uh, I think we're going to have a good day in Texas today.
00:30:01.440 Okay.
00:30:01.800 If you're in Texas and you haven't voted, please, please, please come out and vote.
00:30:05.860 I know it's raining in much of the state, but come out anyway, go through the rain and, and spend some time today.
00:30:11.220 Pull out your phone and make a dozen phone calls.
00:30:14.080 Call your sister, call your son, call your next door neighbor, call your coworker, get them to come out and vote.
00:30:19.620 What, what Glenn said, Glenn, you're exactly right.
00:30:22.540 Chuck Schumer has been explicit.
00:30:24.240 I'm his number one target in the country and Schumer and George Soros have spent over a hundred million dollars trying to defeat me.
00:30:30.880 It is nonstop attack ads.
00:30:33.160 That's crazy.
00:30:33.780 They're coming after us with everything we got.
00:30:35.680 Now, if we show up and vote, we're going to be fine.
00:30:38.100 And so it's all about turnout.
00:30:39.780 Now it is about people showing up in the polls.
00:30:42.080 And by the way, for everyone listening, who's not in Texas, show up and vote in your states too.
00:30:47.160 We got a presidential election.
00:30:48.400 That's the most consequential one of our lifetime.
00:30:51.100 So wherever you are, show up and vote and bring your friends and family.
00:30:54.700 And vote for the Republican candidate for the Senate, wherever you are.
00:31:00.960 We have to win the Senate and the House.
00:31:04.000 This, the whole country can turn on a dime if we have House, Senate and White House. 0.99
00:31:09.260 And this time, I think that actually, that actually means something.
00:31:13.540 Usually it's like, we've got to get all three before we can do anything.
00:31:16.200 And then they do nothing.
00:31:17.000 I think with the people that are running that would join you, Ted, in the Senate, I think things would actually get done.
00:31:25.680 Well, and I'll tell you, let me say something in particular.
00:31:28.600 There are voters in a number of states, in states like Ohio and Arizona, that are right now saying they're going to vote for Donald Trump and for the Democrat Senate candidate.
00:31:38.320 Can't do it.
00:31:38.840 And let me say, please, for love of all that is good in America, do not do that.
00:31:45.060 Because every Democrat Senate candidate running will fight to oppose Donald Trump on every step of the way.
00:31:54.320 And if that vote gives Chuck Schumer the majority, it could stop the entirety of everything that President Trump will accomplish.
00:32:03.100 That if you want President Trump to be able to secure the border, to get our economy moving, to bring inflation down, to end the wars, then the only way to do it is to have a Republican Senate that's going to back him up and support his nominees and support his policies.
00:32:16.820 And we've got to stop with this executive order stuff.
00:32:19.480 This has to be done the right way.
00:32:22.160 Otherwise, we're just going to keep flipping back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
00:32:25.820 You know, and the ones that they're running, I mean, all red against you, Ted.
00:32:30.520 This guy is, he is trying to position himself as a moderate.
00:32:36.040 He's not a moderate.
00:32:37.280 None of them that they're running now, that they're running as moderates, are moderate at all.
00:32:42.940 The candidates on the ballot for the Democrats are hard left radicals.
00:32:48.940 And one of the really sad consequences of the age of Trump is that Trump broke the Democrat Party.
00:32:57.060 You know, when I was first elected 12 years ago to the Senate, there was such a thing as moderate Democrats.
00:33:02.400 They existed.
00:33:03.120 You could work with them.
00:33:04.400 You could find middle ground.
00:33:06.320 Well, they don't exist anymore.
00:33:07.860 The only two who were even arguable moderates in the Senate are Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.
00:33:14.640 And they're both leaving.
00:33:15.580 Neither one of them will be there next year.
00:33:17.620 And what has happened is every single Senate Democrat has gone hard left on everything.
00:33:25.020 And it really is, you look at the policies they support.
00:33:28.700 Open borders.
00:33:29.560 That didn't used to be the Democrat Party policy.
00:33:31.760 All of them support it now.
00:33:33.880 Defunding and abolishing the police.
00:33:35.440 All of them have voted in favor of that now.
00:33:37.860 You look at Israel and Hamas. 0.99
00:33:41.080 Every Democrat supports sending money to Iran that funds Hezbollah and Hamas and undermining Israel.
00:33:47.460 It is tragic.
00:33:49.120 And if you want to turn that nonsense around, you've got to have a Republican Senate that can stand unified with Trump.
00:33:57.000 And also, you're exactly right, Glenn, that can make changes that are actually passed into law, not just through executive order, so they can be durable and last.
00:34:05.280 And we've got to, I mean, we have got to make sure that Cornyn, who is a disgrace to Texas, is not the guy who is replacing McConnell.
00:34:19.560 We need an actual group of Republicans that are at the top of the leadership, that represent what the Republicans are today, not what they were in 1985.
00:34:35.180 Well, look, my issues with Republican leadership, as you know, have been longstanding.
00:34:40.160 You noted at the outset of this segment that this entire race, Mitch McConnell has not spent a penny in my race.
00:34:46.820 What does he say to that?
00:34:50.320 He lies to me.
00:34:51.760 He looks me in the eyes and says, Ted, if you need me, I'll be there.
00:34:54.780 He said that in 18, too.
00:34:56.140 He says that over and over again.
00:34:58.060 So Mitch controls the largest Republican super PAC in the country, $400 million.
00:35:03.900 He spent zero in Texas to defend me.
00:35:07.560 Even while Schumer and Soros are unloading tens of millions of dollars, over $100 million total on me, McConnell would not spend a penny.
00:35:15.640 He did the exact same thing in 2018.
00:35:17.700 2018, my last reelect was at the time the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history.
00:35:23.880 I was outspent three to one.
00:35:25.920 I ended up barely winning.
00:35:27.080 I won by less than three points, 2.6%.
00:35:29.480 Again, Mitch spent zero.
00:35:31.780 Now, the whole time, Glenn, he would pull me aside every week and he'd be like, Ted, if you need me, I'm going to be there.
00:35:37.320 And after a while, I just got tired of him lying to me.
00:35:39.680 It's like, no, you're not.
00:35:40.720 So why are you lying to me and saying that?
00:35:43.740 And the only way I've survived is millions of patriots in Texas and across the country who go to TedCruz.org and who make contributions.
00:35:54.580 And so, you know, I'm getting contributions of $10, $25, $50 from people all across the country at TedCruz.org, and that fills the gap where Republican leadership should be.
00:36:07.100 But they don't want strong conservatives in the Senate.
00:36:10.160 They want people who will follow orders and sit down and shut up, and that's not something I'm interested in doing.
00:36:15.540 We can't lose you, Ted.
00:36:16.680 We cannot lose you.
00:36:18.260 If you're in Texas, do what he says.
00:36:20.460 If you haven't gone out and vote, what the hell are you waiting for?
00:36:22.640 Go out and vote.
00:36:24.580 Sarah, go out and vote.
00:36:28.860 Ted, tell Sarah to vote.
00:36:32.500 I'm going to stay out of that one.
00:36:36.500 I'm not entirely a fool.
00:36:39.540 And if you have voted, get somebody else to go to the polls.
00:36:45.920 This is close.
00:36:46.840 We cannot lose Texas.
00:36:49.460 We can't.
00:36:50.080 Can you imagine Texas being represented by a Democrat and Cornyn?
00:36:57.840 Texas, what the hell is wrong with you, if that's even a possibility?
00:37:02.820 What's wrong with you?
00:37:04.740 All right.
00:37:05.160 We're not going to let it happen.
00:37:06.420 Good.
00:37:06.660 Thank you very much, Ted.
00:37:08.380 I appreciate it.
00:37:08.980 Thank you, guys.
00:37:09.320 Appreciate you.
00:37:09.740 God bless.
00:37:10.440 We'll talk to you tomorrow, hopefully, and celebrate with you.
00:37:14.240 All right.
00:37:15.780 I mean, they are dumping money into this.
00:37:18.500 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:18.940 Well, I was watching the game with my son last night.
00:37:22.580 That's shocking.
00:37:23.320 You were watching the game.
00:37:24.040 I didn't even watch it.
00:37:25.020 This is what is going on in our country right now.
00:37:26.720 That's how upside down we are.
00:37:28.920 That's how upside down we are.
00:37:30.000 This is a disgrace.
00:37:30.760 Anyway, my gosh.
00:37:32.500 It was like I didn't know if I was watching a Colin Allred commercial or show with highlights
00:37:40.100 from a game or if I was watching a game.
00:37:44.280 He's basically paying for every primetime broadcast in the state right now, Colin Allred.
00:37:50.780 And every single ad is the same thing.
00:37:54.000 You know, he played football.
00:37:55.920 Do you know Colin Allred played football?
00:37:57.320 He played football.
00:37:58.460 Hey, do you know he played football?
00:37:59.540 Look, I really like football.
00:38:01.480 I really like it.
00:38:02.800 It's one of my favorite things in the world.
00:38:04.860 It does not mean I'm going to vote for a senator because he played football.
00:38:08.660 That is a stupid thing.
00:38:09.180 But did you know he played football?
00:38:10.980 I do.
00:38:12.160 You know, I remember back in, I think it was about 2016, watching Ted Cruz, pretty good
00:38:17.120 foosball player.
00:38:18.300 Not a great reason to vote for him, though.
00:38:20.400 You should vote for him because of his policies.
00:38:24.780 It's just absolutely insane where we are.
00:38:27.180 Yeah, you didn't tell me about the foosball.
00:38:28.660 I would have gotten more people out to vote.
00:38:30.880 He played against your son.
00:38:32.100 I remember, you don't remember this?
00:38:33.040 We were back behind one of his speeches.
00:38:34.740 Oh, that's right.
00:38:35.840 And it was Ted Cruz versus Rafe playing foosball.
00:38:39.560 I'll never forget that.
00:38:40.480 It was a really cool moment.
00:38:42.080 But look, the bottom line is, Ted Cruz is not only a good senator for Texas, he's a good
00:38:47.040 senator for the country.
00:38:48.180 And he helps push policies in the right direction.
00:38:51.000 There's not a lot of people in Washington who do it.
00:38:53.500 And Ted does it routinely.
00:38:55.620 Yeah.
00:38:55.720 There's no reason, Texas.
00:38:58.180 What the hell is wrong with you?
00:39:00.100 What the hell is wrong with the team?
00:39:00.780 I don't know that berating Texas is necessarily the answer here.
00:39:04.640 Sometimes, Texas, you need a little hard love.
00:39:06.980 You're doing the Barack Obama approach?
00:39:08.640 Yes.
00:39:09.000 Yes.
00:39:09.280 You're just yelling at black men?
00:39:10.400 What, you just don't like strong men?
00:39:13.180 Is that what it is?
00:39:15.460 All right.
00:39:16.800 Okay.
00:39:18.140 Stu, you have done your Pulsecast.
00:39:22.220 Yeah.
00:39:22.600 And spent a lot of time.
00:39:23.920 I have.
00:39:24.400 A lot of time.
00:39:25.900 Dozens and dozens of hours building it and updating it.
00:39:29.200 If I may just tell the audience what you've come up with is, it's a coin toss.
00:39:37.680 You actually will be surprised to hear, Glenn, it is worse than a coin toss.
00:39:42.880 It is worse.
00:39:43.940 The final update of the Pulsecast has Donald Trump, I kid you not, I can't even tell you
00:39:50.320 how many numbers go into this thing, how many calculations, a 50.24% chance to win the election.
00:39:57.820 You're dead to me.
00:39:59.740 It's not me.
00:40:00.800 I'm just putting the data in.
00:40:02.240 It's you.
00:40:02.820 No, it's not me.
00:40:04.060 But you actually.
00:40:05.160 But they say a coin toss is a 50.5% chance.
00:40:09.100 So it's actually less sure than a coin toss.
00:40:13.100 So, you know, here's the thing.
00:40:17.440 You did make a prediction.
00:40:19.820 I did.
00:40:20.240 I did a show last night on Studios America where we do this every single election, the
00:40:24.260 day before the election.
00:40:25.280 I'll take everything out of the toss-up columns and push them in one direction or the other.
00:40:30.860 Even if I'm not sure, I'll take my best guess.
00:40:33.400 And, you know, in 2020, we got the count exactly right, 306 to 232.
00:40:38.120 This time, I have much, much less confidence in the results.
00:40:42.280 We got to the seven swing states.
00:40:45.160 There's a couple that I kind of feel relatively, I mean, relatively, I at least have a vibe on.
00:40:51.520 Like Arizona, for example.
00:40:52.520 I think Donald Trump is ahead in Arizona.
00:40:54.400 I think he'll win Arizona.
00:40:56.660 I wound up getting to 291 electoral votes for Donald Trump.
00:41:02.140 The swing states went, if I'm remembering right, I had Donald Trump winning Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona.
00:41:09.280 I had Harris winning Nevada, which I went back and forth on about five times.
00:41:13.000 I also, I had Trump winning Wisconsin, which I went back and forth on about five times.
00:41:18.040 I had Harris winning Michigan, and I had Trump winning Pennsylvania.
00:41:23.540 That gets you to 291.
00:41:25.440 And honestly, like, at the end of the day, Wisconsin, not all that important because, and Nevada, I guess, not all that important in this particular thing because you'd still be above 270.
00:41:35.020 Pennsylvania, obviously the big ticket there.
00:41:36.560 So I did my electoral college.
00:41:39.880 I have Trump pretty close to you, 671.
00:41:45.480 Electoral votes.
00:41:46.200 Electoral votes.
00:41:47.020 Wow.
00:41:47.300 Yeah.
00:41:47.580 That's more, because there's only 538 available.
00:41:49.560 Weird.
00:41:50.060 It's weird.
00:41:50.680 I know, but that's, I'm sticking.
00:41:53.620 I think I'd be more confident in 648 for Harris because they'd find a way to just add some to the table.
00:42:00.820 Anyway, tonight, our presidential election coverage on Blaze TV, front row seats for every single crucial moment.
00:42:08.080 It is not just the presidency.
00:42:09.880 It is the House and the Senate.
00:42:12.080 It is abortion in seven different states. 0.90
00:42:17.060 It'll be interesting to see.
00:42:18.360 This was funded mainly by George Soros and foreign money.
00:42:23.060 Foreign money.
00:42:24.620 Foreign money cannot be involved in federal elections, but apparently foreign money is fine in state elections.
00:42:30.420 I don't know why, but they put that on the ballot in swing states so it would get people out, they hoped, that would be for Harris.
00:42:40.540 So it'll be interesting to see how that, does that affect things?
00:42:44.740 Did that work at all?
00:42:46.740 We'll have all of that, and our coverage is going to be different.
00:42:50.940 It's real.
00:42:51.500 It's raw.
00:42:53.040 We're not selling a narrative.
00:42:55.500 We are not going to be first to call things.
00:42:57.760 We want to be accurate, not first.
00:43:00.100 And it is the most ambitious night of broadcast we've ever done.
00:43:03.500 Megan Kelly, Dave Rubin, Liz Wheeler, Ali Bestucki, Steve Dace, Stu will be there.
00:43:09.640 I'm going to be hosting.
00:43:12.180 Hopefully we'll have Mark Levin late.
00:43:14.080 I know he's doing his show, so he'll probably be on late.
00:43:17.180 But First Town updates all across the country.
00:43:20.960 We're at all of the different, dare I call them, parties, where the victory parties are going to be.
00:43:29.700 Hopefully we'll be celebrating together tonight.
00:43:33.580 And we're going to keep going until we have an answer or until they say it, you know, 945.
00:43:39.640 Well, we're going to call it night.
00:43:41.960 You know, we're kind of sleepy.
00:43:43.560 Uh-huh.
