You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.

Well,

hello.

How are you?

Glenn really pumped up about that wonderful, joyful convention last night.

It was so joyful.

So united, you know,

there's no problems.

They made it very clear this week, too, that Donald Trump is an anti-Semite.

Joy.

That's joy.

Yeah, they.

That's joy.

You're just explaining how you express joy.

Yeah.

That's when you say

the other people that are your opponents are anti-Semites.

That's how you express joy.

Yeah.

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.

In fact, you don't get it if you think there is a problem.

You know,

you have more money.

You just don't notice it.

You know, somehow or another, you're missing that.

So there was no problem with the economy.

And now the same people, including Kamala Harris, are telling us, yeah, there is a problem, but we're going to fix it.

That's a, that's, I mean.

Well,

basically, Glenn, biodynamics is working.

And it is working in a way to present an opportunity for Kamala Harris to fix the economy.

That's how it's working.

Okay.

It doesn't, huh?

That's interesting because it doesn't really work.

I mean, the lies that they tell and they expect us to swallow.

And if people do swallow these things, if it really turns out that

she wins with all of these lies,

I don't know how I can handle it.

This is terrifying.

I really don't.

If you're in this

same position that I'm in right now,

we are in serious trouble as a country because that's all I keep thinking about when I'm watching this.

This entire convention is one gigantic lie broken up into a bunch of different speakers.

And 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.

This is the joyful party we're supposed to believe.

And they keep saying the word freedom over and over again.

As if this party is based on anything that could possibly be translated as freedom.

It's the exact opposite.

I 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.

You know, mind your own damn business.

And what they've done is they are accusing

the Republicans for everything that they've already done.

and are going to do more of.

And they're saying that they're the Freedom Party, they're the small government.

Last night,

Walls said, mind your own damn business.

It's not the government's

place.

You put a snitch line together.

Yep, for COVID.

Yep, for people to call and report their neighbors for when their business was out of line.

But this is the mind your own damn business guy.

I 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.

Because all they're doing is saying the things that conservatives actually believe.

Now, they're lying about the fact that they're going to do them.

But they said, I mean, I went through some of this.

They said their main platform policies last night, middle-class tax cuts.

Now, look, that's a conservative proposal, obviously.

Tax cuts are a conservative issue, but they're trying to take that.

They want to take on big pharma.

Are you kidding me?

You just spent multiple years saying you would all, everyone would lose their jobs if they didn't take a particular product from Pfizer or Moderna.

What do you mean you're going to take on big pharma?

How can you possibly be saying that after what you've done over the past few years?

They're going to,

they want to give you freedom to live the life you want to lead.

Now, look,

we have differing views as to what government is supposed to do, okay, as conservatives and progressives.

Progressives have a philosophy that at some level, while awful and my view, evil, it is rational, which is, look, there are really smart people in the world, and 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.

What do you drive?

What kind of air conditioning do you have?

How big is your home?

What kind of stove do you have?

All of these types of things are decisions that they can make for you.

What kind of electricity, how is that being generated for you?

We'll make that decision for you.

But 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.

We will control the aspects of the life, of your your life that

you can't handle.

You can't make all these decisions.

It's too difficult.

And this is, go back to Philip Drew, administrator, Glenn's favorite reference, Woodrow Wilson's favorite book, right?

This is the idea.

You put experts in control.

Anthony Fauci is a great example of this, right?

You put a guy like that in control.

He will tell you whether you go to work or not, right?

That's how this works for them.

And while I don't agree with the philosophy, it is a coherent philosophy of government and honestly, a much more common one throughout world history.

If you go back and look,

the natural state of man is to be controlled by their bettors.

That's how this has worked forever, and it is their philosophy.

But what they are pitching at this convention is our philosophy.

You know, you just make your own decisions.

You choose what you want to do with your life.

You screw it up.

You kind of do it.

Mind your own damn business.

Stay out of my health care.

I want to just do make my decisions with my doctor.

These are all our arguments.

And they're just saying them and then backing them up with policies that do the exact opposite.

And if the American people are this dumb, if they are so stupid that they fall for this, we deserve everything we get from it.

We do.

We do.

We do.

Can we get cut 16 from Tim Walls last night?

Here's an example of exactly what Stu is talking about.

Here's Tim Wall's last night.

They'll start jacking up the costs on the middle class.

They'll repeal the Affordable Care Act.

They'll gut Social Security and Medicare.

Come on.

And they will ban abortion across this country with or without Congress.

Okay, stop.

The Supreme Court said

that it is the decision of the states.

Donald Trump is so very clear.

In fact, he has pissed off a lot of people by saying, you know what, I'm just going to leave it up the states.

He's not going to ban abortion.

No.

He is not going to jack up prices for the middle class.

That is so ridiculous.

Who has, let me ask you,

the price of groceries four years ago when Donald Trump was president, okay?

We have for the first time a way to compare.

First time in my life, I know what this president will do.

I know what the next president is going to do because they've both been in the White House.

Okay?

First time in my life.

They've both been in the White House.

So you just have to A, B compare.

Were you better off four years ago?

Did you have more freedom or was it more scary?

Back then was it what did you think the government was going to come and get you?

Now, don't talk to to me about your feelings.

Don't talk to me about what people said they were going to do.

What did he do?

What did he do?

What are these guys doing?

Here's another one.

You want to talk about jacking up prices?

Cut 20.

Here's Tim Walls talking about health and housing.

That's how we'll build a country where workers come first.

Health care and housing are human rights.

Excuse me.

And the government

stays the hell out of your bedroom.

Stop.

Stop.

Listen to that.

Listen to that.

So health and housing are human rights.

We've moved past health care is a human right, which it is not.

Okay.

A human right is what you're born with.

You were never promised a doctor.

Okay?

It is a very nice luxury that we in the West have had for a very long time, but it's not a human right.

Housing is not a human right.

Now, this is horrible to say because you want everybody to be taken care of.

You want everybody to have, you know, a roof over their head, every child be fed.

I get that.

But if you make it a human right, then what has to happen?

Then the government must guarantee.

This is the Soviet Constitution.

So you know, he's quoting from the Soviet Constitution,

a communist country.

If it's a human right, then the government must guarantee it.

The government must provide housing and health.

We told you.

No, let me take it to them.

They told you that if we have Obamacare, it will be fixed.

If we have Obamacare, you will save the average family $1,000 a year.

Have you saved any money since Obamacare?

Has it gone up or has it gone down in price?

Is it easier to get health care or harder to get health care?

Did you get to keep your doctor?

Did you get to keep your insurance?

Kamala Harris is on record clearly saying we've got to move away from this

private health care.

It's got to go public.

Just get away from the insurance companies and everything else.

The government needs to take care of it.

Of course, she says that.

Her running mate is quoting the Soviet Constitution.

And then he follows it with, and government get out of your bedroom.

The government is going to be in everything.

If the government takes over housing and health care, they will be everywhere.

Then Bill Clinton took the stage.

Boy, do you just see him shaking badly?

That's such a good thing.

Yeah, let's go to Cut 29, please.

Brutal, tough business.

I want you to be happy.

One One of the reasons that

President to be Harris is doing so well is that we're all so happy.

I mean, if you believe, come on, how stupid can you be to believe this nonsense?

I mean, this is.

The reports are that he rewrote the speech because he wanted to reflect the joy of the evening.

It's embarrassing.

And then the media is

repeating it.

It's like they decided they wanted joy to be their banner, their little advertisement for what they're doing.

And so they all just started saying it themselves.

And then they all told reporters that this is what they were going for.

Any self-respecting reporter that would use the word joy in context with this is an embarrassment to their jobs.

This is exactly what they want you to say is how joyful they are.

And I have heard it come out of the mouth, not just of Democrats and not just of people going and trying to be elected, but by journalist after journalist after journalist who's saying, What we're seeing here is such a joyful, such a joyful spectacle.

Such a joyful patriotism.

This is different than what you're seeing at the Republic.

This is joyful.

How can you say those words after all of these hacks in the Democratic establishment have leaked the word to you Unless you are just a mindless robot repeating the talking points of the party you want to win with no ounces of self-respect nearby, you would just, even if you wanted to say the same thing, you'd come up with a different way to say it.

They're saying the exact same words.

And so much of this goes back to the fact that this party is certain that the American people are dumb.

They're certain of it.

They know it for a fact in their minds.

And if they are right, we deserve everything we get here.

Those journalists that are doing that, I pity them.

I pity them.

Really?

What a miserable life they are leading.

Yes.

When you're living in that kind of life, there's one thing that you are not, and that's joyful.

Let me give you something else that just

makes my eyes bleed.

This is from Michelle Obama.

Cut 55, please.

Here she is talking about

her family, and you know, they didn't trust rich people.

Listen to this.

That anyone can succeed if given the opportunity.

She and my father didn't aspire to be wealthy.

In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.

They understood that it wasn't enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning.

You know, I could handle this.

I could handle this if

she didn't just take three quarters of a million dollars to give a speech recently.

Three quarters of a million dollars to give a speech.

Now, God bless America.

If there are people out there that want to pay to listen to her, three quarters of a million dollars, great.

She should take it.

But don't lecture lecture me about taking more than you need.

I think that's probably more than you need.

Well, then again, maybe not because you have four houses.

You have three people in your family.

So I guess the fourth house is a vacation house, you know, and everybody lives in a separate mansion.

But don't lecture me.

She actually said that, you know, we're not part of that trust fund thing.

You just gave your daughter over $10 million in a trust fund.

So please, and how did you make your money?

How did you make your money?

You were poor when you went into the White House.

You were complaining about how you couldn't pay your student loans.

You were poor.

You are now worth over $70 million.

How did you make that money?

Was that in the private sector or was that in the public sector?

Did you make that money because you were connected to government?

Because you were president?

Because you were first lady?

Three-quarters of a million dollars.

Please don't tell me about how people just have to share.

They just have to know when enough is enough.

How much is enough for you, Michelle?

How much is enough for you?

Barack, how much?

Just give me a number.

Just give me a number.

70 million seems great.

Now, I would like to be able to strive to make more than that in my lifetime, but I'm just a greedy capitalist.

You only need 70 million.

So sick.

I mean, I gotta, I mean, what is the world going going to look like in six months from now?

I have no idea.

Do you?

We could be in civil war.

England is on the verge of it right now.

What is that going to mean for our dollar?

What is that going to mean for the economy?

It's not going to mean anything good.

Please, difficult times are ahead.

Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

So he had a busy schedule, but we wanted to get him on the program today.

So J.D.

Vance and I spoke earlier this morning so he could get on the road.

And we talked

about

the convention for the Democrats and the vision.

Here's what happened.

When you see that they say they have a bold vision for America, have you heard that vision yet?

No, I really haven't, Glenn.

And here's the weird thing about all this is you have the entire Democratic campaign running on a kind of collective amnesia where they say that Kamala Harris will do this thing on day one or Kamala Harris has a vision to accomplish that thing.

And then you realize that Kamala Harris has been the vice president for three and a half years and she has affirmatively made all of these problems worse, not better, during her time in office, right?

So you can't say Kamala Harris is going to secure the border because she opened it up.

You can't say Kamala Harris is going to lower inflation because she cast a deciding vote.

on programs that increased inflation.

So I think that this is just not something that the American people buy.

And final observation, Glenn.

And again, I haven't seen the whole thing, but there's a lot of talk about unity.

And I remember the old editor's trope of show, don't tell.

So they're telling a lot about unity, but they're actually in the rest of their remarks, they'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.

And if you don't see that he's anti-immigrant and anti-black and anti-woman, then you're a bad person.

You can't win an election telling Americans that they're bad people because they want to pay lower costs for groceries and housing.

You win an election by persuading people.

And I haven't seen a whole lot of that at the DNC.

But

I wonder, though, with the power of the press in lockstep, like they are.

I've never seen anything like this.

I mean, for instance, it was the Democrats that

are now saying that Kamala is going to fix the economy, but 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.

So

how do you win

and get your argument heard when 80% of the news is bad on you and 88% on them is great?

You know, I think we just have to keep on telling our story and telling the truth, Glenn.

And that's, you know, something we do through paid media, commercials, digital advertising, and so forth.

And it's something we do in the mainstream media, even though they're not fair.

You know, I did five interviews last night with NBC, ABC, CNN, CVS, and so forth.

And 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.

And so, yeah, they're going to be critical of what we say afterwards, but we're at least able to get the message out there because we're willing to engage.

And, you know, Glenn, you raise a really important point here, which is that if you're an American citizen and you've paid attention to this election, you'd be forgiven for having a headache from the ricocheting message of the Democratic Party.

A month ago, it was the Biden economy was great.

Don't believe your lion eyes.

Just vote for Joe Biden.

And now it's, yes, the economy is terrible, but Kamala Harris, who's been vice president for three and a half years, is going to come in and fix the whole thing.

It just doesn't make sense.

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.

But 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.

I would call them illegal aliens.

And people are noticing that they're destroying the culture, the finances.

Crime is skyrocketing.

This isn't a Biden-Harris problem alone.

This seems to be happening in every Western country.

Is this the result of

a global deep state?

Well, 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, you're a racist, et cetera, et cetera.

And 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.

And I think that we just have to, you know, get back to some basic common sense here.

You don't hate anybody, but you don't necessarily want the entire world to become part of your country.

And you may even believe that a country can assimilate some measure, you know,

some measure of immigration, but that doesn't mean you can have everybody, right?

It's one thing for the United States to take in a few hundred thousand people.

It's another thing to take in 3 million people, and 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.

And it's just preposterous to me that Democrats don't acknowledge this basic reality.

And yes, you're right, whether it's in Europe or the United States, it's led to higher crime.

It's led to a lot of innocent victims that don't need to have suffered what they've suffered.

And it's led, I think, really to a real backlash from our

against our leaders, and justifiably so.

Let me take you to the Secret Service for a second.

Yesterday, 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.

Are you it's been a month.

Are you

and and uh President Trump satisfied with the investigation and the way it's going and the information that we have and haven't gotten?

No, certainly not.

I know I'm not.

And 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.

They're great people and they're doing a good job.

There clearly needs to be some better understanding of what broke about the leadership in the wake of President Trump's assassination attempt.

And this is frankly on Congress.

It'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.

Maybe the mistakes were not intentional.

You never know, of course, until you do the actual investigation.

But you have to have a real investigation.

And 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.

You know, you would think that they would be interested, that every politician would be interested in this, especially if you have Secret Service protection.

If it is just a flawed system and a series of just bad calls and mistakes,

your life is at stake.

And you would think that everyone would be interested in making sure that, you know, no mistakes were made

again.

No, that's exactly right.

I mean, again, you don't know, was it a couple guys who screwed up?

Was it something more systematic?

Was it something about the processes or the procedures?

These are the sorts of things where, you know, we always believe in democratic government that sunshine is the best disinfectant.

And so we really do have to have, I think, a more honest accounting of what went wrong.

Obviously, some of the leadership has faced some pressure, but that's not really what we're talking about.

We're talking about a real investigation.

I know, you know, Ron Johnson, my colleague from Wisconsin, a great friend, has really looked into this aggressively.

He's trying to get to the bottom of it.

But when you're a minority senator in the minority party, there's only so much you can do.

Frankly, if Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris made this a priority, we would know everything we needed to know a month from now.

It's interesting to me that RFK is coming on probably tomorrow and endorsing.

And then you also have Elon Musk saying that he would like a position to be in charge of cutting.

Is there serious discussion about Elon Musk coming on?

And with RFK, where do you think he would be best?

Yeah, so trying 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, but we have to win the election first, of course, before we give Elon any positions or any titles here.

I think RFK

really

could 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.

I'd love for RFK to take a look at that, but I haven't talked to him.

I don't know what he's interested in.

I 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.

And if you're like my grandparents, I mean, I was raised by blue dog, socially conservative Democrats, Glenn.

If you're like my grandparents, the Kennedy Democrats are now going for Donald J.

Trump and the Republicans.

And 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.

We didn't have to agree with it all the time, but they were patriotic people.

They are no longer welcome in this crazy new thing that Kamala Harris is in charge of.

You 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, and that we had an honest conversation about actual politics and not nonsense.

And I think the American people appreciate that.

I know.

You know, I appreciate that, Glenn.

Yeah, I appreciate that, Glenn.

And look, I've certainly tried to keep this focused on policy.

Look, I mean, Tim Waltz has got some problems, clearly.

He's lied about his service record.

I think his integrity is very much in question here.

So there are certainly things that we should focus on in his record.

Fundamentally, the problem is not Tim Walls, it's Kamala Harris and the lack of judgment she selected or she showed and selecting a guy who's been dishonest about his service record.

And I think that we have to keep the pressure on Kamala Harris because the media is trying to lie about her.

We have to correct the record.

Well, thank you very much.

Stay safe and stay on the right track.

Thank you so much, JD.

Thanks, Clennam.

See ya.

You know, he also talked about

that Kamala Harris is going to get us into a nuclear war.

And it is a little terrifying.

This is a very serious time in America.

You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.

Tucker Carlson, welcome to the program, sir.

How are you?

Tucker, are you there?

I'm right here.

Sorry.

I'm grateful to be here.

So thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm excited to see you in, when is it, September 7th, I think, in Salt Lake City?

It's so funny.

We're doing this tour, and I'm thinking, like, okay,

I would love to bring people on.

I know all these smart people, but there aren't many people who can perform in front of a live audience.

It's a very different kind of person.

Anyway,

you were literally the first person.

I thought, oh, man.

No, it's going to be fun.

It's really nice for you.

No,

I appreciate the invite.

It's going to be fun.

It's going to be in Salt Lake City.

The Delta Center.

You know how many seats that has?

I have no idea.

Tucker?

I'm overwhelmed by it.

I haven't looked.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's big.

Yeah, it's big.

Delta Center,

September 7th.

You can get the tickets at tuckercarlson.com, tuckercarlson.com.

So, Tucker, I haven't talked to you in a couple of weeks or a few weeks, and

I would love your overall take on the insanity that we have seen

from the attempted assassination to today.

What are your thoughts?

I mean, what the hell is happening?

Actually,

it really is like a car crash.

Anyone who's been in a car crash or any kind of unexpected traumatic event knows it takes months to sort of reconstruct what happened.

That's how I feel about what we've 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, and that he would be taken off the ticket.

That was just immediately obvious to me.

Then watching the coordinated media response to that where you realize, well, wait a second, Dana Bash was in on this.

All her colleagues at CNN, MSNBC, like they had their marching orders.

They put them into effect.

And then you thought, well, wait, everything is fake.

And 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.

Like that's, you know, no one really thought, no one, well, I'll speak for myself.

I didn't really think that could be happening.

And I thought maybe only wackos thought it could happen, but then it turned out to be confirmed.

But 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, like there's a whole level of control of governance that is immune from voters.

Like we have no, we have no role in this at all.

Voting just plays no role in this.

We're not privy to the plan.

And 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, but it's definitely coordinated to

disempower the rest of us on behalf of the people already in charge.

And then everything that happened since then confirmed it.

Trump, you know, the Biden administration allows Trump to get shot, whether intentionally or not.

It's kind of irrelevant.

They allowed it.

Having spent an awful lot of time at events with Secret Service, I know you have as well over 30 years.

What they allowed to happen that day, they allowed that.

So, and then you realize the secret service is corrupt.

So, if you have a country where the secret service, the presidential bodyguard, the Praetorian Guard of the President, is corrupt as a political instrument, and it joins the CIA and FBI and the entire DOJ and ATF and every three-letter agency.

They're all working on behalf of a political party or the ruling cabal that controls that political party.

I mean, that is just so bewildering that you think, well, you know, what is true?

You know, what is this organization?

Who runs it?

Who's been running the government for the past four years?

That's what I

have, I have asked that question of

everybody I know, and nobody seems to have an answer.

If 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, and 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?

Who is running this country?

Well, and what you're seeing around the world is really not around the world.

It's just in traditionally Christian countries.

Yes.

It's in the West.

It's in Christendom.

It's not happening in Asia.

It's not happening in Singapore.

It's not happening in Lagos, Nigeria.

It's not happening, of course, in China or Japan.

These are still ethno-states.

No one contests their right to be that.

But it's happening in the historic homeland of Christianity from Scandinavia

really all the way to Hungary and Central Europe is covered at the border.

They held the line.

But everywhere else, Ireland?

I mean, what did Ireland do to deserve this?

But the same thing is happening everywhere.

And you think, well,

is this a conspiracy?

Is it a...

a manifestation of spiritual war?

That's my conclusion.

You know, I have no real evidence, but I don't see another explanation that makes sense.

I don't know, but it's all happening at once.

As you said, exactly the same thing.

It's much bigger than just the refugee agencies pushing people in because they're liberal and the media supporting them because they're liberal too.

This is the end of a civilization.

And like, why?

Why 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.

Who lives in the country?

That's the basic question.

And

I don't know.

I 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.

And I'm only now trying to figure out, you know, what do you do?

How do you respond to this?

What does it mean?

I don't want to.

Yeah.

I'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.

And it's your kind of your last call.

I mean, if you vote for Harris Biden,

it is, or I mean, Harris

walls,

you are, you're pulling the trigger of socialism and authoritarianism.

I mean, it's all there, and they're saying it out in the open.

And I'm hearing from 20-somethings that are saying, oh, you guys always say that it's going to be the most important election of your life, and it's not that bad.

How bad is it, Tucker?

Well, I think it's, I don't think it's political, for one thing.

So I don't think it's even worth thinking in terms of like the election or whatever.

It's like the the changes coming to the United States are 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 Anglo the Anglosphere, the European world.

Like it it i it the changes are so big and so uh profound and permanent that I, you know, I don't even I don't really know anybody who fully understands what's going on.

And I spend my entire life trying to find people who do and talk to them.

So,

you know,

I don't know, but I think we should all be thinking in much, much bigger terms than we are.

I mean, I don't think the 2020 election was free and fair.

Of course, it wasn't.

You can't have a democracy with censorship by definition.

You don't have to even worry about electronic voting machines to know that was not a free and fair election.

If you don't have access to the information required to cast an informed vote, then the election is rigged.

I mean, just by definition, that's what a First Amendment is first, because it's a prerequisite for democracy.

So, and we don't have it now.

So,

but why?

Like, what is this?

Why would you want to destroy Christendom, which is what they're doing?

And, well, because you hate Christianity is the answer.

And so, those are the terms that I'm thinking of it in, because I think those are the correct terms.

And I've never been particularly religious or faithful.

I'm certainly not a model of Christian living.

That's for sure.

You know what I mean?

I'm going to go buy a tin of chewing tobacco this afternoon, and I can't wait.

So I'm not a virtuous person, but 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.

Like, I'm just trying to be honest with myself, and I, and I see a total transformation of the historically Christian world.

And I don't know how it shakes out, but I know that the stakes are, you know, just couldn't be higher.

So, you know, preventing Kamala Harrison, that incredibly creepy, you know, wrestling coach or football coach or that guy, guy, air quotes, running with her.

I mean, he's just the, he, that guy is just completely undisguised.

Like, I know exactly who that guy is, having been to boarding school for 80s.

That guy's creepy, period.

Yeah.

So, but anyway, the fact that they would even run somebody like that tells you what their agenda is.

It's like completely overturning the basis of civilization, which is the relationship between a man and a woman that produces children.

Like, that's the basis of all civilization, and they're trying to overturn that.

So, you got a lot of heat on the great replacement theory when you were at Fox.

And

a little bit of heat.

And

there's mounting evidence

of this with some people

online that are of a different race.

There was one that came out, I think, yesterday, the day before, and this woman, she's like, she was in England and she said, look,

the white population is going down.

And with all the

newcomers, we're winning.

We're winning.

That's

replacement theory at its worst.

However, there is a great replacement that is going on all throughout the Western world, and that is

the Christianity replacement with Islam.

If you see what is happening in

every country in the Middle East and Dearborn, which nobody pays attention to here, and Minnesota,

you see that there is a replacement of our culture and our faith.

And it's a little terrifying when you see the numbers, just the sheer numbers in Europe.

Europe is

over.

Well, it's absolutely over.

And the thing I find hilarious, the reason I laughed, is to call something that's demonstrably true, like gravity, a theory,

is it

deceptive?

So it's not a theory.

It's a math question.

So what's, and by the way, it's not racial.

It's not even religious, in my opinion.

It's just a math question.

You have the people who lived in the United United States in, say, the year 2000 before everything changed with 9-11.

And those people and their descendants, at, you know, what rate are they reproducing?

And then, well, below replacement rate.

But the country is growing really fast because new people are being imported.

So 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.

And it's not just whites, it's native-born blacks, actually.

So you always hear the country's getting less way.

Well, you know, black people, African-Americans, as we call them, have lived in this country longer than, you know, Italians or Irish.

You know, hundreds of years their families have been here.

They're Native American.

They're native-born Americans.

And they are being replaced, too.

And their political power is evaporating, which no one ever says, but it's true.

And, you know, they don't vote the same way I do by and large.

But I think that people whose families have been here for hundreds of years, like have some claim on the country, actually.

I think that.

Call me crazy.

And so they are being replaced flat out.

And anyone who says they're not being replaced or says it's like racist or bigoted or anti-Semitic to say that's like, what?

It has nothing to do with any of that.

It's just a fact.

And why are you doing this to us?

Actually, nobody likes it.

And, but why?

Why is this happening?

And so, yeah, they huff and puff or whatever, but they've also written a bunch of books on how great it is.

I mean, if you're sending a vasectomy machine to the DNC,

you're a kind of

a person.

Yeah,

what is that about?

You know what I mean?

It's clearly spiritual.

And by the way, I would say I don't think it's Islam is the religion that's replacing us.

It's the LBGTQ religion, the global religion of childlessness.

Well, I will tell you that

I agree with that.

But

right now, they're

playing footsie with the Islamicist.

And in the end, the Islamicist will eat the LGBTQ community.

It'll just eat.

Oh, 100%.

And I'm rooting for them.

I am.

I am.

I mean, I'm hardly Muslim, but I can tell you this, having spent a lot of time in the Middle East in the last few years,

especially the Gulf, especially the Emirates, is much more tolerant and welcoming of Christianity than New York City is, and that

Frankfurt, Germany is, than London is.

I mean, you can go sit at a dinner party in Abu Dhabi and talk about how much you love Jesus and everybody applauds.

You know, try that in London.

Try that in New York City.

Like, you can't.

People hate you for that.

So, look, I don't know exactly what that means.

I don't really know what anything means, but I've experienced that.

And I think the real threat to, you know, any religion that tells you it's bad to have children or children don't matter, or human life doesn't matter,

is evil, is demonic.

And that's the LGBTQ religion, or the globe, this weird global climate religion.

I mean, you know what I'm saying?

Like, that's

scary.

I do.

Yeah, you will bow down to it as well.

Tucker, thank you.
