The light.
It's a new day.
Glenn Beck
I turn around.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment. Entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, I noticed Mister Brigier is back. Stu joins the program today. Out of hiding, I believe. Welcome back, Stu.
Stu Burguiere
Thank you, Glenn. I am out of hiding.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah, you are out of hiding. You didn't go on vacation. You were in hiding, weren't you?
Stu Burguiere
After Biden dropped out, there was a significant chance I would lose this bet.
And I was reminded about that online over and over and over again while it was out. And.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right.
Stu Burguiere
And now I'm back. Why? Well, Michelle Obama has endorsed Kamala Harris, so at least for the moment, I think I'm safe.
Glenn Beck
Well, now I'm gonna dash those hopes, because you have to hear the endorsement from Michelle and Barack Obama. It's enough to induce vomiting in 60 seconds.
First, I have bad news for certain members of my staff. Couple days ago, I got a simplisafe system installed in my office at the studio. So guess what? Even when I'm here in the mountains.
Oh, yeah. You're trying to steal my woody doll. Yeah, I know who you are. I know who you are.

Just visit simplisafe.com beck. Simplisafe.com beck. There is no safe like simplisafe.
Well, now, people have been sweating this out. Barack obama, Michelle Obama, they have not endorsed Kamala.
And I think part of that is because my theory is Biden endorsed Kamala to box everybody in when he resigned. He came out almost immediately after, is like, oh, no, I'm endorsing Kamala Harris.
And that was, that started the ball rolling for Kamala.
Barack Obama didn't endorse, and he waited and he waited and he waited. And the rumor was he doesn't like Kamala and also doesn't think that she'd win.
So he was holding back on his endorsement. And, of course, the media was telling us she's just raised $870 trillion in the last 2 hours since she's announced.
And so everybody got on the Kamala train again except for Michelle Obama.
And then yesterday, Kamala was coming off of a stage, and her phone rang. And thank goodness DNC cameras were there to catch it. Here it is.
Stu Burguiere
Kamala.
Kamala Harris
Hello.
Hi.
Stu Burguiere
Hey, there.
Glenn Beck
Hi.
Kamala Harris
You're both together. Oh, it's good to hear you both.
Glenn Beck
I can't have this phone call without.
Kamala Harris
Saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you.
Glenn Beck
This is going to be historic. We call to say, michelle and I.
Stu Burguiere
Couldn'T be prouder to endorse you and.
Glenn Beck
To do everything we can to get you through this election and into the oval office.
Kamala Harris
Oh, my goodness.
Glenn Beck
Michelle.
Kamala Harris
Barack, this means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both, and getting out there, being on the road. But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express. So thank you both. It means so much. And we're gonna have some fun with this, too, aren't we?
Glenn Beck
We're gonna have some fun with this, too. Are these people capable of doing anything in a genuine fashion?
Stu Burguiere
Oh, I am.
Glenn Beck
Barack. Michelle, you're both on.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, my God. I love the point. At some point, they kind of take the angle from her, I guess, from kind of her right facing, and you could see the face of the phone, and she's got speaker on. It's like, well, what up to her ear? But she's got speakerphone on. What person answers the phone like that? People don't do that. You either put it up to your, or you put on speaker. She's doing both.
Glenn Beck
Right. And if you had the president of the United States, the former president of the United States calling. If Donald Trump calls me Stu, do I have it on speaker?
Stu Burguiere
No, not at all. You don't know what it's about. You want to make sure it could be something important that maybe everybody in the room and the camera shouldn't hear. RFK junior could learn this lesson, perhaps.
Glenn Beck
Right?
Stu Burguiere
You know, it is one of those things that you're. Now, obviously, this was completely staged. Obviously, the cameras were there for.
Glenn Beck
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I know. It's shocking.
Glenn Beck
Did that sound stage or you just.
Are you just saying that it was probably staged? Probably.
Stu Burguiere
Just everything I know about human activity and interaction makes me believe that this was staged. As almost all Kamala Harris communiques are.
Glenn Beck
This is inauthentic. That's what you're saying?
Stu Burguiere
Incredibly inauthentic, yes. And this is going to be an issue for Kamala as she runs for president at the top of the ticket instead of on the bottom of it.
Glenn Beck
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
Well, I don't know what you're talking about because I think people love her because she is so genuine. Well, as you pointed out, she's not.
Stu Burguiere
Raised $11 trillion in. And what was it, two and a half hours? So that's impressive. A lot of. A lot of hype around Kamala right now. And this is what you're going to get. Right, Glenn, for the next three months, what kind of media coverage shall we be expecting over the next three months, would you say, Glenn?
Glenn Beck
Speaker one? Well, I would say until she gets to the.
Until she gets the official nod. As you know, the. The voters have spoken, you know already because they elected delegates and the delegates were assigned to Joe Biden, but the people have spoken.
Stu Burguiere
This is democracy in action. I've never seen anything like it. These people just love democracy.
Glenn Beck
Right. Well, if I may quote the president from his speech the other night, democracy is at stake, and.
And who doesn't love democracy? So democracy has happened. I don't know. Did you see Chuck Schumer's statement when he was, when he was proud to announce that she's the candidate officially?
Stu Burguiere
I didn't. I missed this one.
How was it?
Glenn Beck
Very, very Sarah. But we played it yesterday. Oh, no, it is so good, Stu. It's not just inauthentic.
It's, it's full of so much bull crap you can't even imagine.
Stu Burguiere
Listen, so now that the process has played out from the grassroots, bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
I'm clapping. You don't have to.
Oh, my God. That was the, oh, my God. So he, and he's cheering like a little kid.
Glenn Beck
Like, yay.
Stu Burguiere
It's like he's trying to cheer on a third graders, like, birthday party. Like he's trying to.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, they all talk to people like that now. Everybody in the democratic party is like, oh, Joe, you answered all the questions. Well. Oh, here's Kamala. Talk to us about yellow school robot.
Stu Burguiere
Says, I will say there's a reason for that because the only people left in their party must be idiots. That's why you have to speak to them like that. None of them can understand anything other than sing songy nonsense that you targeted toddlers.
Glenn Beck
I love the fact that in that speech, he said, now that the process has played out from the grassroots to the top.
When were the, when did the people get involved in this at all?
Stu Burguiere
They voted for the, now that the.
Glenn Beck
Process, now that the process has played out, we asked the delegates to change their vote and the superdelegates are now on board.
We can say they literally voted for.
Stu Burguiere
The person Kamala was able to coup out of the nomination. What do you mean, the process? And that was, I don't know if you went through this reporting, Glenn reporting behind the scenes on Barack and Schumer and Pelosi, and I don't know if I believe this, but, like, they were basically holding back to make it look like a process. They wanted it to look like these delegates came to these conclusions on their own and then they would come out, endorse and endorse. That was the reason they didn't do it. I don't know that the wording of that Barack Obama announcement had me shuddering, I will say after I read it, because I was like, oh, my gosh, they are going to come up with a quote unquote process that puts Michelle right in there. And I'm losing this bet, aren't I? And I, I went through a severe multiple days of panic, went off to the insane asylum for just a few days, and now I'm back here after that very convincing endorsement by Michelle.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Do you notice, you notice she, she doesn't say, I'm so excited that you're going to be president. She said, I'm excited because this is going to be historic.
Well, yeah, a lot of things. The shooting of Donald Trump was historic as well.
I just didn't gather the real sincere.
We're not plotting your death.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, in some sense, Glenn, all events that occur eventually become historic. And in that sense, yes, yes, that it will be history. It will happen in history, and that will be something we can all remember and look back on.
Glenn Beck
They were one step away in that phone call from saying, you know, Kamala, we just read in the New York Times that great peace on you about how you love to cook and you ought to come up, you ought to come up to the vineyard and cook for us and then maybe go for a swim with Barack.
Stu Burguiere
No.
Glenn Beck
Because we don't really have a chef anymore. And maybe you could and just, you know, stay the weekend.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, I don't know. And this, it's funny. It's because, like, they're the political toppling of, of everything. I mean, they did this to Joe Biden. They politically know it was, ended his, his 50 years of public service in a coup.
And everyone's like, oh, well, we're happy she's up by a point and a half in the polls. Like, what, what party is this? The party that demanded, Glenn, that we care so much about democracy that they forced all of his primary opponents off the primary ballot. They canceled multiple primaries. They reorganized the primaries to, or to make sure the ones that Joe Biden could win came first.
They kicked RFK junior basically out of the party. They didn't give him Secret Service protection.
They wouldn't increase the secret Service protection for a Donald Trump that wound up in an assassination attempt.
After they tried to kick him off of the ballots and after they tried to throw him in prison and after they tried to get all third party candidates kicked off the ballots in swing states all over the country, and then after they had the B's fixed primary, the guy who won it, they threw out of the nomination and just installed someone. This is the party of democracy.
Glenn Beck
No mammogracy, all female breasts.
So that's why. But it's not my health or anything else. And it was definitely not Barack and Michelle and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer putting a gun to my head. It's definitely not that I'm a patriot.
Democracy. Okay, back in just a second. If your dog had opposable thumbs, would you still be alive? I'm just saying. I'm just saying, you know, if your dog had opposable thumbs, would he have his paws around your neck going, where are you feeding me this awful, tasteless, not nutritious kibble food?
I think, you know, I think I'd be a dead man because most of his life, he had non nutritious kibble food. And it's, you know, I would have been saying, it's not my fault. I bought the advertisements.
It doesn't taste good and it also doesn't have all of the nutrients. That's why your dog sniffs it and walks away. Way picky eater. Uno used to be a really picky eater. He's not now. And we didn't change dog food. We just started putting rough greens on top of his dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food. Uh, and it gives them all of the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, everything that is healthy for your dog. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens. They want to send you their first trial bag for free. All you have to do is call 833 glen 33. 833 Glenn 33. It's rough greens spelled the way a dog would spell it. Ruff greens.com Beck ten second station id oh, my goodness.
By the way, we have raised almost $27,000 during our campaign with moms for liberty to get books into public libraries that they wouldn't want in public libraries and into public schools. This is amazing.
Yesterday, somebody donated $10,000 to get these books chasing embers into public schools. There was also a donation of $10.72. When I see something like seventy two cents, it catches my eye.
It came from a woman who said, I lost my job last year. I've gone on Social Security because no one wants to hire a 63 year old woman.
I would, apparently. But I want to donate a little bit to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
They donated at m four l m the number four l foundation.org back. And this is moms for Liberty, their effort to put conservative books and books that tell the truth into public and also public school libraries because your kids, we went through the list of what your kids are reading now and what's available in young adult. Oh, my gosh. It is horrendous. Just horrendous.
And that's why I've written my first young adult fiction.
Michaela Hedrick is also the co author, and we worked on this story. I've had this story in my head for 20 years, and I told it to Mikayla and she said, oh, please, give me a chance to write that. And she just has the right insight and attitude. She's a great, great storyteller.
And so we worked on this book, and it's out. There's eight in the series, but this one has to, you know, be successful. But it is. Honestly, it is something that was like, what was the book?
You know, all I can think of is Michael Vay and the electric cheerleader. But it was the Michael Vay series that we had out for so many years. And every Sunday, every summer, a new one would come out. And Rafe and I, we would read it every single summer. And we loved it. Just loved it. This is the same kind of thing, except it'll take your kids into a dystopian world where the two protagonists have to decide, is the truth even worth finding?
They are living in a dystopian world where America no longer exists. Nor does the truth, nor does any history.
And history has been taken from them. And there are some rebels that are trying to piece things back together.
They have to decide whose side are they on. It's a great way to get your kids into history. It's part hunger games, part the giver, as I saw a review, say earlier this week. It's a great book called Chasing Embers. It's available everywhere. Get it for your family. If you don't have kids or grandkids, please go to m Four l foundation.org back and get it into public schools.
Okay, stu, I really think that there's no time to take vacations anymore.
What has happened in the last three weeks has been astounding, and it just keeps coming faster and faster. Have you seen this week that they're now saying that Kamala is, was never the border czar? I, even though that's what all of, all of these places, it is so amazing how they didn't like her. They didn't want her, and so they would speak the truth about her. And they called her the border czar. For years they called her the border czar as soon as she becomes necessary for the Democrats, they immediately say, that's a conspiracy theory. She was never the border czar, even though we have it on record of them saying she was the border czar over and over and over again for three years.
And with Joe Biden, he's the best. He's the best. He's the sharpest tool in the drawer. There's nothing wrong with him. He's going to win. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, looks like he can't win. We got to get rid of him and they just, they discard him. They run a coup and discard him.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. The second he was not needed, the second they believed that, uh, they were not going to be victorious with this, you know, corpse, you know, of a candidate, they decided to admit what everyone else knew. Right. Like, that's the, that's the pattern here. And now that Kamala is the, is the person who is going to apparently be the nominee, they've done the reverse process, all the things that everyone could see that they admitted for years and years and years and years because it kind of benefited Joe Biden and it kind of, you know, like Biden's people were leaking it. So they, they believe, believed it and they reported it. At least now they are going to reverse themselves on it and act like nothing happened. I mean, Glenn, even to the point, the same publications that wrote I know that he, she was the border czar are now saying it's a conspiracy theory that shoes can be considered the border czar.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I know. Did you see Fox News changed their website last night and what? Fox News had a story about Kamala Harris and all of a sudden that story was taken down. It was there just a couple of days ago. And they said, well, we don't, we don't go into people as individuals in just a single year. It was her record in the Senate making her the most liberal senator in the Senate. They pulled it down.
Fox News did.
All right, let me tell you about Patriot mobile. One thing that you use more in a day, uh, than anything else is what?
Your cell phone.
If your service is one of, with one of the big three providers, I'm betting that you pay through the nose for that privilege, don't you? You do add insult to injury. A lot of those big providers donate causes to the most leftist causes. What you need is a company that will save you money and donates to the kinds of causes you believe in. I want you to strongly consider switching your phone service to Patriot mobile today. Right now. You're going to get a whole month for free. It's a great way to start your new service. They're Americans.
They are America's only christian conservative mobile phone company. And their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedom and to glorify God always. And they offer dependable nationwide service. So save a buttload of money every month. Switch over to patreonmobile.com beck. Patreonmobile.com beck 972.
Stu Burguiere
Patriot Glenn's new book, Chasing Embers, is available now get it@glennbeck.com. or wherever books are sold.
Glenn Beck
I want to clarify something.
I said it was Fox News that pulled the story. It was not Fox News. It was govtrack.
Govtrack is the, is a service that tracks everybody's voting records. And they had a story up that she was the most liberal senator by far in the Senate in, when was it, 2019, whenever she was in the Senate. And they pulled it. And now they've pulled it in the last week because, well, we don't, we don't, that's misleading.
You know, we don't like to take only one year as a, as a record and just show one year. We like to show multiple years, at least two years.
Okay. So it was okay to have that up there until she became the candidate. And then you pulled that.
I mean, it's what they are.
They are rewriting history in real time. You're watching history being rewritten. It's crazy.
Stu Burguiere
I will say, too, the page is pretty funny rereading it because I remembered going through this when she was running for president and, you know, she was the most liberal senator in the Senate. Everyone knew it was talked about widely at the time. The page also says that she was the least likely to co sign on bipartisan legislation. She held the fewest committee positions and was the third most absent senator, missing 61.9% of votes.
Glenn Beck
I remember that.
Stu Burguiere
So she not only was very liberal, but she also accomplished nothing. I mean, she didn't even seem to be doing her job most of the time. And she had no committee positions at all, was not working on any type of difficult legislation. And it goes on to say, I will, in the defense of govtrack a little bit here.
What they did when questioned about this was point them to her main page, which lists her as the fourth most liberal senator in the entire Senate. So it's not like she came as conservative. She's now ahead only of Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand and Jeff Merkley, which is like, you are literally into the midst of socialism here. And she apparently just barely outscores them on the conservative scale. Not exactly a, an accomplishment.
Glenn Beck
That is who she is, though. I mean, she is a socialist. She just won't say she's a socialist, but everything that she wants, remember, she wants to ban fracking.
She was there at the, the head of, let's reimagine the police.
She also said, you know, it doesn't take a lot of police officers if you think adding police officers is what's going to, what's going to solve our crime problem. Well, you just don't get it. You're outdated thinker. Oh, okay. Okay. She wants to start from scratch with ice. If she gets in the border, Biden's border is going to look like, you know, miracle safety because it's going to get much, much, much worse.
You know, but, and Kamala can choose.
Stu Burguiere
To your, to your point on law enforcement, she's trying, you know, a lot of people are trying to say, oh, well, she was, you know, she put so many people in jail for drug offenses, and she was like this hardcore prosecutor. This is exactly what she wants as an image right now. If she can sell to the american people that she's tough on crime, people are going to ignore a lot of the other things, you know, that she's done. I mean, she was praising the defund the police movement in 2020. She was raising money for the bailing out of all these criminals. And now the Minnesota stations that were out there who did interviews with her, it asked, asked her about it at the time, are now denying that she did it. They're not like, ah, well, after she tweeted that the organization changed and that, you can't really hit her on that, it's like, well, no, she did it. Everyone knows she did it. It's been widely discussed. You can't just memory hold these things. It's like we are in that weird postmodern world where there's absolutely no foundation.
Glenn Beck
We were all just, do you know where memory, do you know where memory hole comes from?
Stu Burguiere
You know, I just read this recently somewhere, and I, I don't remember. It was from a book, right?
Glenn Beck
It was from 1984.
Stu Burguiere
It was 1984, yeah.
Glenn Beck
1984.
Georgia Orwell writes about the, the torture chambers, if you will, where they are torturing everybody to make sure that they toe the line and they show, you know, the story, whatever they think is true. And they've been saying, no, this is true. They show them the evidence, and then they open up a door in the wall and it's the memory hole. And they put all the documents in there and it goes, and it's incinerated.
And that's really what we're doing. I mean, it's just not being incinerated. It's just being changed. Uh, they're going in and they're deleting things from the Internet. They're changing things on the Internet. And it's so bizarre to see this happen in real time, and nobody seems to really care about it.
Stu Burguiere
I, half the country cares about it. And I think there are some in, there are some journal. I mean, there. There were some who were on record questioning, you know, even people like David Axelrod, who was a political hack. He might even describe himself that way. But he was challenging. He was, you know, calling out the Biden is too old to run. Months and months and months before the rest of the media started talking about it, there. There were people who wrote about this. There were journalists out there, just very few and far between. And the fact that the other people who sat here and denied this day after day after day, I mean, there was a report that came out the other day, Glenn, when I was gone, you probably talked about it, but that, you know, Joe Biden hadn't met with congressional Democrats since like, mid 2021.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And it's like, that is nothing. But I can, at some level, you almost can understand, if they're doing such a job to protect the circle around him, around Biden, that it's hard to get access to him. And they're doing. They're playing all these games. They're manipulating everybody. The White House is manipulating everybody. Now, to me, that's a big story that maybe they should be covering if that happened to them, if they were the victims of it. But okay, well, let's get. Let that go. A tough. A tough story to understand, maybe to get real reporting on it is not difficult to find out that Joe Biden didn't meet with congressional Democrats for multiple years.
Any journalist who cared at all to cover that story, to have any, any curiosity, could have broken that story, and everyone would have been like, what the hell is going on? Why?
And they chose not to do it until after he was out of the race.
That is. That is journalists just being an arm of the Democratic Party. And that if you ever questioned it before this year, you now have definitive proof.
Glenn Beck
May I change the subject here and say something? Yes.
Would you like to make a new Bethenne?
Stu Burguiere
Hmm?
As a person who's just been thrown through a cold, an entire roller coaster ride, emotionally, I'm still interested. Obviously, I have a gambling problem here, so let me. I'm intrigued.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Welcome back. And the House doesn't always win, stu.
I don't believe Kamala is going to be the next president.
Now, maybe she's the nominee, maybe she's not.
But even if she wins, I don't think she's going to be the next president.
I think it's going to be her vice president. And I'll tell you who her vice president is going to be, and then we'll see if you want to make.
Stu Burguiere
A bet on it, you want to bet on. So what are we betting on? Because I wouldn't be, I think I'm.
Glenn Beck
More president will be her vice president.
Stu Burguiere
The next president will be Kamala's vice president. And I get the, the rest of the field, I assume.
Glenn Beck
No, I, what do you mean the rest of the field? Speaker one.
Stu Burguiere
Like I get the other possibilities.
That's what you're proposing.
Like you're saying, I'm not sure Kamala's vice president.
Glenn Beck
And then that's a pretty big, that's a pretty big statement to very. I can tell you who her next vice president is going to be.
Stu Burguiere
I want to hear that as well.
Glenn Beck
Okay. All right. Well, hang on. Let me break for just a minute here. We'll come back and I'll explain.

All right.
I don't think that Kamala Harris can win.
She can with cheating and everything else that could possibly go on. But I don't think she's a winning candidate for America. Okay?
And I think Barack Obama knows that and so does Michelle.
And I think there's going to be a discarding of Kamala Harris.
There's going to be another coup of some sort.
Stu Burguiere
They just had one. They're going to do another one.
Glenn Beck
They're going to do another one. They're going to do another one. I just think this, okay, this is more of my fiction writer kind of side than absolutely committed, but I think I could commit to this.
If she was the candidate and won, I think they discard her before she becomes president and the vice president becomes president. Okay. Now, I don't think she's going to win, but.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, this sounds insane, but what has just happened over the last month might be more insane than whatever you're describing sounds insane.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it absolutely does. Until you hear who I think they are going to pick for vice president.
Stu Burguiere
This is interesting because I have a, I have a relatively strong feeling on this one.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Let's see if we match up.
Who is yours?
Stu Burguiere
I think she's going to pick Kelly from Arizona. I think Mark Kelly is going to be the pick. I think there's a bunch of reasons we can go through. I wouldn't say I'm certain about it, but him, one or two others I could see happening, but I think it's going to be a white guy.
Glenn Beck
Who else?
Stu Burguiere
Definitely a white guy. That's, I think for sure they think America's too racist to vote for two women or two people of color.
The other one I would put as the second possibility to me is Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania.
Glenn Beck
No way.
Shapiro.
Stu Burguiere
I know, but I mean, they have issues. Look, I think he would be a secondary pick. There's a couple of others floating. But you don't think either one of those will be the pick?
Glenn Beck
Oh, no, I think, I think Kelly is going to be the pick.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, you do?
Glenn Beck
I don't think it's going to be. Yeah. And I don't think it's going to be Kamala's choice.
We need the endorsement of Barack and Michelle. They held it. They held it. They held it. Who did they want?
They didn't want her.
They wanted him to be the nominee.
Stu Burguiere
Hmm.
I'm intrigued by this.
Glenn Beck
Why, why do you, why do I what?
Stu Burguiere
Why do you feel that way?
Why do they want Mark Kelly, Arizona senator, to be the guy they were?
Glenn Beck
They thought he was the winning guy. Okay. Michelle and Barack thought he was the guy that could, could win and be put in because he's an astronaut and senator and everything else or whatever he is and, and he'll play ball.
And so they wanted him, not Kamala. I think Joe endorsed Kamala right after he said, I'm dropping out of the race.
To spite Michelle and Barack to say, oh, really? You're gonna force me out? You know what? I'm gonna short circuit your little plan.
I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris.
Okay, so everybody had to get on the Kamala train, but the, the.
But Obama and Michelle did not. So they had to get on the Kamala train. These two were left at the station, but the train had to go back. You cannot take that train out without Barack and Michelle.
They held back. They held back. The held back. What did they get for that fake endorsement?
I'll bet you they got Mark Kelly as the vice president.
Stu Burguiere
Now, did they?
Estee Palti
Speaker one.
Glenn Beck
And I just don't think these, I don't think these people believe in democracy at all.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, they.
Glenn Beck
Speaker two. And if they can find a way.
If they can find a way to get her off, discredit her, whatever. Get her off of the, the. Out of the president's role.
If she would win, they'll move Mark Kelly in there in a heartbeat.
Stu Burguiere
So what?
Glenn Beck
Soon as she loses, as soon as she loses her effectiveness, and even maybe before the, the primary, and I know this not primary, the vote. And I know that sounds incredibly insane, but again, like you just said, what hasn't been insane?
Can you really tell me that there's no possibility that she becomes the candidate? Mark Kelly becomes the vice president, and something, and I don't want to say violence, but something happens where she's discredited or whatever, and he's the guy.
Stu Burguiere
I am done ruling things out, so anything can happen. I mean, I can't believe they'd try a sequel to the coup this close to the most previous coup.
Glenn Beck
But you wouldn't think they would do a coup.
Stu Burguiere
No, I didn't. In fact, I had multiple thousands of dollars bet on the fact that they wouldn't. Exactly right.
Glenn Beck
Exactly right.
Stu Burguiere
So what you gotta. Maybe after the break, you have to describe what's the coup or what's the bet here? Like, I. The theory's been laid out. What's the bet?
I'm curious as to how this is structured. Cause I'm interested. Cause that does seem like a long shot.
Glenn Beck
All right. All right.
Stu Burguiere
I'm interested.
Glenn Beck
All right.
More in just a second. And also, abusive relationships. What does that have in common with the democratic party, the Glenn Beck program? Let me talk to you a little bit about american giant. There was a time when american manufacturing was the envy of the world. If it was made in America, the quality was there and the world trusted. Made in America, much of that is gone. But eleven years ago, american giants set out to change that. They started producing american quality and american clothing with american cotton from american farms and american workers.
All, everything that was, you know, sewn, cut, dyed, the ink was from them. Everything is from America. And that brings pride to our country and to our communities.
This month, celebrate your independence. We ask you to support the vision, the craftsmanship, and the determination of american giant. They've got a great looking t shirt that says American made across the chest. Wear it proudly all summer long. It's American made from american dash. Giant.com. glenous.
To compromise.
Stu Burguiere
We gotta stay together.
Glenn Beck
If we're gonna survive.
Stu Burguiere
Stand up straight.

Well, we welcome back Mister Stubergier, who was gone this week and conveniently showed up just in time for big Mike to endorse Kamala Harris. But if you heard the endorsement from Michelle Obama and Barack Obama, it doesn't ring true to me. Let's play that endorsement.
Stu Burguiere
Kamala.
Kamala Harris
Hello.
Hi.
Stu Burguiere
Hey, there.
Glenn Beck
Hi.
Kamala Harris
You're both together oh, it's good to hear you both.
Glenn Beck
I can't have this phone call without.
Kamala Harris
Saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you.
Glenn Beck
This is going to be historic. We call to say, michelle and I.
Stu Burguiere
Couldn'T be prouder to endorse you, to.
Glenn Beck
Do everything we can to get you through this election and into the oval office.
Kamala Harris
Oh, my goodness.
Michelle Brock, this means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both, and getting out there, being on the road. But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express. So thank you both. It means so much. And we're going to have some fun with this, too, aren't we?
Stu Burguiere
There's a good laugh cut out of that one.
Glenn Beck
What did they, what did they, what did that cost her?
What did that cost her?
Not, it's a very transactional couple there.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Not nothing. And I think we can be certain of that.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. It wasn't like, you know what, Michelle? We've been thinking about it and, you know, without any, without any thought of calling anybody or making any deals or getting something for us or something that we want, we just, we're just, you know, we just love you so much and we just want to give this to you for free. Speaker one, what did that cost her?
My guess is one of the pieces that it cost was Mark Kelly.
Barack and Michelle want Mark Kelly. They do not want Kamala Harris.
That's why he hadn't endorsed, and he was hoping that this would all go away after Joe Biden endorsed Kamala, because I think Joe Biden did that as a slap across Michelle and Barack's face.
Stu Burguiere
It was also interesting.
Glenn Beck
It was because they did not want.
Stu Burguiere
Her, not in the original letter. When I, we went, we were going live on YouTube at Studozamerica. On YouTube. We've been going live after these big events, even when I'm on vacation. And when that happened, I read the letter and the first thing I noticed was it did not include an endorsement for Kamala Harris, which is odd. If you're going to do this big announcement, why wouldn't you include that in the thing that everyone was going to read? It was, you know, ten minutes later, 15 minutes later, he released a separate tweet that was just like, I adore Kamala, and it was odd the way it was rolled out. So it does sort of back maybe, maybe like they came out with this, you know, this main letter for history purposes. And then, you know, he kind of just wanted to stick it to them because I don't think he likes the Obamas at all. I think he's very angry about this.
Glenn Beck
Oh, no, no. I don't think he likes them at all. And I don't think they like him. And I think he knew the candidate they wanted was Mark Kelly, not Kamala Harris. And I think that's why the endorsement came from a separate thing. Joe, you drop out of the race. You make that very clear. Nothing else. So he issued that letter, and then he came out and said, oh, by the way, I also endorse Kamala.
Stu Burguiere
Maybe Hunter got control of the Twitter for it for a day, maybe.
Glenn Beck
And then Michelle and Barack were like, now, listen, Michelle, I tell you, maybe, maybe, maybe. I mean, let's not get all bent out of shape. They're not going to jump all over that. And they jumped all over that. And immediately everybody became rallying around Kamala Harris, and she's the one he held back.
People wondered why.
I think it's because of Mark Kelly. They wanted Mark Kelly to be the guy because they believe he's the winner. And I don't know if they have a chance to turn on her and do a coup on her.
They will. They will.
Stu Burguiere
I have so many.
Glenn Beck
Mars will be the guy.
Stu Burguiere
I have so many questions for you. Let me first back up what you're saying about the Barack Obama part of this. I don't know if people really bothered to read his statement at the time, but everyone, you know, this is after Biden comes out and says, I fully endorse Kamala Harris. And many of his competitors who were rumored to come after the nomination, if he stepped down, had already endorsed Kamala Harris? And this is the paragraph that Barack Obama writes, we will be navigating uncharted ward waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.
Like, that is the farthest thing away from an endorsement of Kamala Harris you can possibly get. They did not want her. I think it's blatantly clear.
The only pushback on that some reporting was, well, they don't want to endorse cause they wanna make it appear like it was an actual process to get to Kamala Harris. They didn't wanna have their hand.
I mean, come on. Does anyone buy that? But I guess my first question on your theory here is, why do you think Mark Kelly was such a big favorite of the Obama family.
Glenn Beck
All right.
Stu Burguiere
Why. Why would they signal him?
Glenn Beck
Speaker, one great question.
You cannot have two. Is Barack Obama would say two exotics on the ticket, okay? Think of America as a husband and wife. Okay? And each party has a husband and wife element to them.
So if you just listen to the husband, you'd have a Ferrari and a lambo in the garage. Right?
But if he's married, his wife says, you're not going to have a Ferrari in Lambo. It's not reasonable. We need, you know, we need a Pacifica and an accord. And he's like, good God, if I have to drive a Pacifica, I'm going to hang myself. I can't do that.
And so they'll compromise in, you know, the man's dream world. He has to pick between the Ferrari or the Lambo because they also have to have the Pacifica. Okay?
Mark Kelly is the Pacifica.
She's the Ferrari. She's the one that you never know if it's going to break down. Good Lord. We don't know what it's going to cost us. You know what I mean?
It's not dependable. We need a Pacifica, and he is a.
He'll be. They have to have a patriot. They cannot continue to front this party with people who are known to hate America. Okay? Can't.
He's a white guy. You can't have two exotics, as Barack Obama would say. So you have a white guy who's dependable, who loves America, is super, super smart, because you can't have two idiots on the ticket either. Well, they did that last time. Well, maybe they've learned their lesson. You can't have two idiots on the ticket either.
Mark Kelly is the Pacifica.
Now, I think the Obama's wanted the Pacifica as the candidate.
That's why he phrased what he did in that, you know, hey, thank you, Joe. And by the way, we look forward to a process that will eliminate Kamala Harris and give us something good. And I think that person was Mark Kelly.
Stu Burguiere
That's really interesting, because I. Cause, you know, one of the reasons why he's a Pacifica, if you will, is he seen as a moderate democrat, and he is moderate in temperament. Right? That is what he brings to the table. Very. He feels like a moderate the same way, like, the 2020 version of Joe Biden was pitched that way. Right? Like, you can have a guy who's very, very calm, and. And he's a. He's a moderate. He's just, like, a guy from a working class community. He's absurd. You know, in the, in Kelly's case, served in the military. He's an astronaut. Come on. But in reality, his voting record isn't, is just as liberal as any of these other people and seems to have the same vision as so many of the other people on the left.
Glenn Beck
So. So hang on. Just, like, let me explain just what you just said last time.
The Pacifica was at the top of the ticket and they knew we have to have a lambo or Ferrari, something that we is not necessarily dependable, but is flashy. And everybody's like, yeah, all the dads would be, you know what I mean? In this car, analysis has all the interesting. We gotta have one of those.
And that was Kamala. Now she's at the top. So the Pacifica has to be the second one.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, it makes perfect sense. You know, I. Excuse me. Came to the sort of Kelly conclusion as well, based more on, like, if you look at.
I do think the white guy thing is the Pacifica thing is real. This is not real from, like, my ideas or what I think this is real from the reporting on Barack Obama's choice for vice president. The reason why Joe Biden was picked is because he was old and white. That is, that is every piece of reporting from inside of that. The, that decision was that Barack Obama and Michelle believed America was too racist to have two exotics on the same ticket. You needed to have. These were their terms. You needed to have one white guy that, that the racists could sink their teeth into and still get okay with having this guy with the crazy name at the top of the ticket. That was the way, that's what they thought of America. And I think it was quite, quite clear in so many of their comments, that's exactly what they thought of America. If you go back to the, what was the one about Pennsylvania voters? You got these people, they're angry, they're bitter clingers to their God and their bible. That's what they really believed about America, still believe about America. And so I think that white guy is like, the idea that they're going to pick Gretchen Whitmer or they're going to pick, you know, Pete Buttigieg, even like, yeah, anybody that has anything outside of white guy, I think is out of the picture, 99% chance of that. So then you go to, and I.
Glenn Beck
Think it's important to say now it also has to be somebody who at least appears to love the country. I'm not saying he doesn't, but it cannot be somebody. It can't be a radical right.
Stu Burguiere
It's got to be someone.
Glenn Beck
It has to be somebody who's like, you know, I, I don't mind antifa. It can't be that.
Stu Burguiere
Gotta be someone with moderate temperament. Temperament which Kelly has. He seems like, I mean, he's military guy, astronaut, hero, all these things. And I will say one of the other things that I think is central to this is we just had a presidential assassination attempt where apparently someone flung glass from a large long distance at President Donald Trump when he was on stage.
Glenn Beck
The New York Times just did a piece analysis and said it's definitely a bullet.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, they did.
Glenn Beck
Meanwhile, Christopher Wray testifies that, well, Trump, I mean, it's really up to him to, to prove that he's been shot. What?
Stu Burguiere
I know. That's really weird. Even the Times is dismissing that nonsense.
Glenn Beck
But anyway, so now, wait, before, one more thing on that. I really do think it could have been a piece of glass, because right at that moment, kamala broke the glass ceiling.
Stu Burguiere
No.
Glenn Beck
And so maybe that's what cut. Wow. That's.
Stu Burguiere
So that should be the center part of her convention speech, I think.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Donald Trump was struck by glass.
But on the Kelly part of this, I mean, there is obviously a sympathy for Donald Trump.
His approval ratings have gone up at some level. They're the highest they've been in some of these polls in recorded history.
There is a circuit. That moment was iconic and everybody knows it. With Mark Kelly. He's married to Gabby Giffords. Gabby Giffords was the congresswoman who had an assassination attempt against her. Like, they, this was their big pitch to come to the american people to bring gun violence into the picture. Remember, they were blaming, you know, Sarah Palin for this. That was the targeting her districts. It's that shooting. And so they can come back and say, well, look, their main pitch before this was the Republicans are the violent ones. They've obviously lost ground on that one. That one's dead. That's. That argument is dead after the president was almost killed on stage. So now you have a situation where this can kind of disarm the other side of that. They can say it's not just left and right, it's gun violence and bring the gun violence case back. In which I think this is absolutely the group of people who would come to such a just cold, calculating decision to say, we'll use her and her tragedy to try to fend off this assassination attempt that we now have to, quote, unquote, deal with. And not to mention, you go through this is also a swing state. It was at one of the closest states in 2020, even though it's not all that close at the moment, I think, and they have a good relationship behind the scenes.
Kamala and Kelly have had a good working relationship for a long time. That's how I came to the conclusion. It's different than how you came to it, but it's interesting. We arrived at the same place.
That's terrifying. What means we're both definitely wrong.
Glenn Beck
I could only pray the sponsor of this FR is relief factor. I love painting. I've loved to paint for years and I've started to get kind of good at it recently. But it wasn't all that long ago that I thought I wasn't going to be able to paint at all anymore. I had pain in my hands so bad that at times it was so embarrassing. And so, I mean, just, it just was so emasculating to wake my wife up and say, honey, I can't button my shirt. Can you button my shirt? Because my hands just wouldn't work. And the pain was too bad.
Well, she did.
God love her. And she also was the one who said, I want you to try relief factor. And so I did. And now that pain is gone, I don't wake my wife up in the morning anymore and I'm back painting again.
You can get your life back now. About 70% of the people who try relief factor, the three week quick start go on to order more month after month. That's a pretty good thing. So see if it works for you. See if you're part of that 70%. Relief factor.com. relief factor.com or call 800 for relief. 800, the number for relief. Fight pain naturally with relief factor.
10 seconds. Station id in Bidens address the other night he said, when you elected me to this office, I promised to always tell you the truth.
And it struck me that the word truth doesnt mean anything anymore because he's not telling the truth. He's not. So often when people are lying, they'll say, I'm telling you the truth. No kidding. Really? Not making that up? No, I'm telling you the truth. Uh huh.
It makes the world, I'm sorry, the word truth, absolutely meaningless.
In my new novel, Chasing Embers, we decided to use two different versions of the word truth because it was really the truth and we capitalized the t. But if it was a lie, we use the lowercase t. We've gotten feedback now from teenagers who have been reading this and they noticed the difference, which means they're paying attention because it's very subtle.
Part of what we're trying to do with this series is tell stories that teach you, me, our children, how to sift through lies. They have to know how to do this because their president is lying to them. Teachers may be lying to them. We know people they watch on social media are lying to them. And it's critical to learn how to see through all of this. So we made the villains and chasing embers great liars and lots of characters fall for it, just like in real life. But the heroes in the story can feel when they're being lied to, and it drives them to do things that seem crazy because telling the truth in a world that rewards liars always seems crazy.
What are our kids going to inherit? And how can we help them and make them stronger? Try chasing embers. That's what it's all about. Chasing embers. A new novel. If you haven't ordered a copy for a teenager in your life, please do it now. Chasing Embers is out now, wherever you get your books, and if you want to pay it forward, gift the book to teenagers in our public school. You can donate at m four lfoundation.org Beck that's Mothers for Liberty, m four l foundation.org Beck and you can join the Moms for Liberty campaign to get chasing embers into school libraries in 48 states.
Chasing embers available now. All right. More in just a second. We're going to a Trump surrogate, Caroline sunshine. She's the Trump deputy communications director. The Secret Service is now saying, well, if you want to stay safe, well stop with the outdoor rallies.
Is he going to stop with the outdoor rallies? And what's the latest on him? His health, his attitude and the campaign.
Carolyn Sunshine joins us next.
Glenn Beck, so if it's time to sell your house, are you ready for that? Because you're going to need all sorts of things done to the place. You know who the best carpenter is to call? How about the best carpet guy, the best plumber? How about somebody who specializes in moving dirt since you probably have some dirt out there and some erosion in the backyard, that has to be addressed.
Do you know who does the best work? Who does all of those things in the town, are reliable, dependable, do good work and not for a lot of money? You know who does know is a great real estate, great real estate agent knows.
That's why you should contact real estate agents. I trust.com. if you're buying or selling a home and listen to one of our agents, these people are handpicked. They're vetted.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
So the Secret Service is in the encouraging President Trump to stop with the outdoor rallies. I think that diminishes his rallies and takes some of the oxygen out. But I'm not President Trump. I wasn't just shot. And that has got to change people.
So we're looking to see what he's going to decide and how he's handling things, including Christopher Wray coming up and testifying in front of Congress and saying, you know, we're not sure he was actually shot. We're not sure that was a bullet or it might have been glass, I guess, from Kamala's glass ceiling that she broke. Or, you know, maybe, maybe it was shrapnel. No. Read the New York times. It was a bullet. It is so insane how these conspiracy theories come from the left and they just expand and expand and expand on them.
Carolyn Sunshine is with us. She's the 2024 deputy communications director for Donald Trump. First of all, Carolyn, how are you, the staff and the president?
Caroline Sunshine
Well, we are always better than Joe Biden outside the hours of 10:00 and 04:00 p.m. i can tell you that always.
But I guess it looks like the Democrat party is trying to become unburdened by what has been and have Joe step down and put the selected but not elected Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket.
No, but no, I laugh crazy because, yeah, it is crazy. It's undemocratic is what it is. Like I said, selected, not elected. It is crazy.
But you can hear I'm in good spirits and laughing because I have the honor of working for President Donald Trump, who is a man who after, you know, mere seconds after an assassin's bullet, and it was a bullet, Glenn, as you just said, came within a millimeter of his life. This man got to his feet and said, fight, fight, fight, and then went on to have a phenomenal week in Milwaukee, unifying complete Republican Party behind him. You just saw some clips released from the great, phenomenal golfer Bryson DeChambeau. I think getting to see some of President Trump's, you know, his humorous side. So everybody's in very high spirits.
President Trump is, I call him the great american warrior because I think Ronald Reagan was the great communicator. Another US president, a great us president who had a brush with the assassins bullet. But President Trump's a great american warrior. And as he said, you know, I'm going to talk about this once.
Share it. Share it with Kander, as he did on the stage in Milwaukee. And then I'm going to move on and I'm going to get back to work. And that's exactly what he's done. And it's really inspiring to work for somebody such a remarkable leader. There's just few like him. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
So everybody that I talked to that at all liked Donald Trump or thought that, you know, I'm thinking about voting for him. Everybody that I know I talked to, they saw him at the convention. They said, he is a changed man. He's a different man. And not in just, I guess, in his seriousness, the gravitas of it.
Did the bullet change him?
Caroline Sunshine
I've been asked this question a lot, Glenn. It's a great question. I've been asked it a lot. I think the bullet that grazed him may have changed the country more. And the reason I say that is because I think when that bullet came within a millimeter meter of President Trump's life, the country realized, like, it's not him, then who, if President Trump isn't in this arena, who is there to actually fight for a secure border and an economy where, I mean, people can actually have a chance at the american dream, let alone alone be able to go to the grocery store and you buy three items and all of a sudden you go, how is this dollar 100?
Then more generally, I think, for the forgotten men and women of this country who, prior to President Trump's arrival on the political scene, really had no authentic champion and certainly not one of the caliber of Donald J. Trump? So I think that is really what changed. I think it was a watershed moment for the country. I think it's one of those moments where everyone's going to look back and they're going to remember where they were standing and who they were with when it happened. But I also look at, as I said, the only thing more remarkable than what President Trump survived is those, his reaction. Who has that reaction within seconds of having a bullet come within a millimeter of your life? You're up on your feet with blood still on your face, very much still in clear and present danger. And you get up and you say, fight. Fight. And I do think that President Trump is now in this unique category of people who, I'm sure you've known people like this, too, Glenn, who have had a brush with death.
This is a unique category of people who have come right to that edge of the thing that I think most of us fear deep down in a way which is death, that this ride ends. We believe in a life after this one, but death is a scary thing. And you watch this man come within a millimeter of his life, come face to face with death within seconds, back on his feet and also back to work. And I have a lot of reverence for the men and women in our military, our veterans, and like, the long history in our country of, you know, you look at the stories of medal of honor recipients, past and present, you know, you just see the valor that fight. You're just you're in awe of an act like that. And I just think that this country is so deserving of somebody like President Trump, who had a brush with the assassin's bullet. Like he said, he's the man who took a bullet for democracy. And then ten days later, this Mandev doesn't need to go retreat to Camp David for a week or take a nap for two years or whatever it is this man is like, I'm ready to get back to work for you, you know.
Glenn Beck
Carolyn so is he going to listen to the secret service?
Caroline Sunshine
Caroline well, we're really, yeah, we're really grateful to the secret service. And I want to say also, there's a distinction, right, between the Secret Service leadership in Washington, DC, and, you know, the rank and file Secret Service agents who do a phenomenal job protecting President Trump, who give their who are quite willing to give their lives for President Trump, as you saw in Pennsylvania.
And, you know, there's been a lot of talk on, you know, outside versus inside rallies. I would say this. It's the job of the secret service to protect President Trump, whether a rally is inside or outside. And President Trump in the past has held many rallies that are indoor arenas. He's held many rallies that are outdoors. He just goes wherever where the people go. So we, you know, we want these investigations to play out at the DC level because, of course, the american people deserve answers. We don't have time to be wasting hearing Christopher Wray go through the semantics of, was it shrapnel? Was it a bullet? It was an assassination attempt on a former us president's life. He's been examined by esteemed physician Ronnie Jackson. Great physician. Was the president Trump's position during his time in the White House? Excellent position. Examined him. You've seen the reports. This is very, I don't know why we're wasting time on that when, by the way, it wasn't just an assassin's bullet that grazed President Trump. Cory comparator is dead. His wife is left without a husband. His children are left without a father. We had multiple people injured, and we're wasting time on shrapnel versus bullet. And Glenn, I got to tell you, this is, I can't believe I'm going to say this. This is the first time in a long time I heard AOC see ask a question more intelligent than Christopher Wray when she asked the question, hey, you know, if you know that the standard AR 15 has a range of, you know, 500 yards, why isn't that factored into your perimeter calculations?
Like, I was shocked, you know, like, there's the first time, there's bipartisan consensus in Washington, DC, for the first time in a long time, as there should be. But anyways, like I said, President Trump, he just gets right back to work, and he's going to be headed back on the road. He's headed to Minnesota. He's going to be headed to Pennsylvania. He's back on the road. You know, it's sort of a rain or shine, indoor or outdoor type thing. We're very grateful and confident for the men and women who serve President Trump in the Secret Service. And as President Trump has said, he's getting back to work, and so are the people. Because it's the other thing, Glenn, too. Right? It's like, nobody should be afraid to attend a peaceful political rally in the United States of America. Nobody should be afraid to do that. Nobody should be afraid to lose their life at a peaceful political rally. And I know you've seen our rallies. Our rallies are extraordinary. There's just something special about them. There's something special about the energy. There's something special about thousands of people who love our country coming together in one place. And I think, again, what was remarkable about President Trump's reaction, if you remember watching that day back when it happens, in those first moments, the crowd, understandably terrified, ducking, afraid. That is a normal human reaction to have. But the second President Trump gets back to his feet and says, fight. Fight. Within 5 seconds of that bullet grazing, you know, coming within a millimeter of his life, that crowd was calm, actually.
It's likely President Trump saved lives that day with that reaction. It's likely that that reaction stopped, you know, stampede.
Glenn Beck
I will tell you that when I watched it, I saw it live. And when he went down, I mean, a lump went to my throat immediately because I knew what was happening. And I thought, oh, my God, they've hit the president. And I had that lump in my throat. And when he stood up and I could hear him say, wait, wait, wait.
And he stood up and then he looked over the shoulder of one of the agents and puts his arm.
I was crying for an entirely different reason.
That fast it turned around in me and I, it went from horror and shock to immense pride and admiration. It was, it was remarkable.
Caroline, tell me, how is he going to switch gears with Kamala? Is he, I'm sure he's not concerned about it. And does he believe that she's actually going to be the nominee?
Caroline Sunshine
Well, as I said, you watch the Democrat party trying to become unburdened by what has been and thinking that if they just do a little switcheroo here, having Joe step down and putting Kamala at the top of the ticket, that that somehow changes things. But it doesn't, because Joe Biden's record is Kamala Harris's record and it's the Democrat party's record. Look at her first few speeches. What is she saying? How much she loves Joe. Joe's been so great. I mean, she's owning this full force. And as I expect her to, nobody has had more of a front row seat to both Joe Biden's cognitive decline and concealing that from the american people than her, Kamala Harris. But then look at her own words when she says she was the last person in the room when Joe Biden was executing his abysmal withdrawal of Afghanistan that resulted in the lives of 13 us servicemembers losing their lives. Joe Biden, of course, couldn't remember or acknowledge those on the debate stage. But point is, she was the last person in the situation room. She's likely been the last person in the room for many of those decisions. But here's the thing.
As much as Joe Biden's record is Kamala Harris's record, she's also dangerously liberal. You know, this comes from the failed state of California. So this is a woman who, if given the chance, would turn this country into California. She is the border czar who's never been to the border. We heard those reports you've just seen, right, of her current border patrol chief and former border Patrol chief both saying yeah. We never got a phone call from her. You know, she's never called. No, she's never called. Okay, well, you know what's happened since she's never called? We've had almost 20 million, maybe more illegal immigrants come across our southern border. We've had 30 tons of fentanyl. We've had 360 names off the terror watch list come across our southern border on her watch. That's enough fentanyl, by the way, to kill every american citizen multiple times over. She was just in Houston. She's not changing. She was just in Houston yesterday. That is a 1 hour flight, 1 hour commercial flight from the us border, 45 minutes. If you fly private like her, didn't go. And that's not because of incompetence. That's because of negligence. She doesn't want to secure the border. If we don't have a border, we don't have a country. She doesn't want to secure the border. She wants to defund ice. She said that the border patrol evokes themes of slavery with chains. This is not a woman who cares about law and order. It's actually part of her worldview. She's far more left than Joe Biden on a lot of issues.
She's dangerously liberal. She really more closely resembles Barack Obama than Joe Biden in many ways in terms of policy and worldview.

Estee Palti
Hi, Glennie.
Glenn Beck
How are you?
Estee Palti
I'm good. And just on the campaign trail. We're hitting the road, taking over one city at a time. Okay.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Is it official now? Are you the candidate? I know you just got an endorsement from Michelle and Barack.
Estee Palti
Yeah, well, they didn't really have a choice, now, did they?
But yes, I am the official candidate as far as I'm concerned.
Glenn Beck
As far as you're concerned, because the democratic party, yeah, I mean, this is a kind of a new thing where you don't have the vote. You know, Chuck Sherman called a grassroots, but it doesn't seem like the typical, you know, democracy kind of thing.
Estee Palti
Well, you know, we sat down, you know, at a big table, you know, right next to Nancy's cauldron, and we all decided, you know, we have to just make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get elected and we're going to do everything we can to stop it from happening. All right? It doesn't matter. The rules don't matter. The law doesn't matter at this point. Point. That's the bottom line here. And we're going to do everything we can. People will thank us at the end of the day, democracy. Shmorak right.
Glenn Beck
So are you planning on debating President Trump then?
Estee Palti
Yeah, I am. You know, between us, Glenn, I was a little nervous at first, right. But, you know, it looks like he's backing out now.
Hopefully he's not trying to, you know, pull a quick one. But I think I'm ready. I think I'm ready to unburden what has been.
Glenn Beck
Can you tell me exactly what that means? Cause you say that a lot and you seem to love it a lot. Why is that such an important phrase to you?
Estee Palti
Well, Gwen, you know, we all just watched the television coverage of just yesterday of what we can see and what we can be.
And really it's just about opening up your horizons and trying to unburden what has been. Now, I've discovered that I've gotten all the way here by just saying nonsense. You know, it has to mean something. It doesn't matter if I don't know what it means. But as long as, you know, the american public can sit there and ponder it long enough. Well, I'll get into that seat before they figure it out.
I crack myself up. You know, I can't help it.
Glenn Beck
I know. You're, you're very funny. You're very, very funny.
So have you made a decision on the VP pick? Because Stu and I both think it's going to be the astronaut.
Estee Palti
Yeah, I was told that that's not going to completely be up to me. So like I said, you know, Nancy, she's working hard over here with her cauldron behind the scenes, and I do what I'm told. And that's about as much as I know about that.
Glenn Beck
Right. Okay, so you can't answer. You can't answer that.
I saw the story in the New York Times that was very hard hitting on you, saying that you're probably the one candidate in the history of the United States that really knows her way around the kitchen.
Estee Palti
Yeah, well, that can be true.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So. But did you find that a little insulting? I mean, I. I mean, it's kind of like, you know, keep them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, isn't it?
Estee Palti
You know, I'll give you my best recipe, Glenn, and then you're going to understand why everyone raves about my cooking. First of all, I like to pander, you know, to the black voters, and they love a woman in the kitchen, right? So, for example, when I'm doing my turkey, and I love giving out this recipe, you take a little black pepper. It's the simplest recipe, but somehow I make it sound like it's the most difficult thing in the world. You take a little black pepper, a little time, and definitely, you can't forget the kosher salt. That's why we need the juice.
We need the juice. And, you know, a little pepper, and you get right under that cavity, and voila. It's like I invented cooking.
Glenn Beck
That doesn't really sound like even a recipe.
Estee Palti
You know, I'm doing the best I can here, Glenn. Whose side are you on?
Glenn Beck
Okay, okay.
All right.
One last thought. I saw that Charlie XCX, which, yes, is a performing artist, you have put a banner on your page that says kamala HQ with a neon background and lowercase letters, and that looks just like Charlie XCX's album brat.
Is that something that you are trying to image yourself as Orlando?
Estee Palti
Well, here's the thing, Glenn. At some point, I call the young voters stupid, because, let's face it, that's what they are. Right? And I'm just trying to rework that image to my benefit. So I'm just trying to be happening. And depending on what demographic I pander to, in this case, I have to pander to the young voters. Brat it is.
And it just depends on who I'm trying to. Who I'm trying to trick at this point. You know what I mean?
Glenn Beck
Okay. All right. Yeah, sure, sure.
Let me introduce you to Estee Balti.
She. You've seen her on YouTube. I have to tell you, Estee, I love your YouTube videos you are doing. You look like her. You sound like her. Her laugh is exactly like this.
How did you come across. I mean, when did you realize. Oh, my gosh I could do this voice exact.
Estee Palti
I was actually just, you know, playing around.
I told this already to, you know, so many outlets, but I was really playing around. During the pandemic, I had downloaded TikTok. I started doing some lip syncing, you know, just goofing around. And somebody had told me, you know, when you, when you listen really close, you can sound, you know, you kind of sound like Harris now. At that time, you know, I just attempted the impersonation. I don't think it was that good at that time. I think I nailed, like, the nasaliness of her voice later on. But when Rebel news saw it, Ezra Lavant, the CEO of Rebel News, he loved it. He loved the laugh, and he really, yeah, he gave me my first shot, and when I started doing the skits for them, just with time, you know, I think if you mimic over and over again and you really get the cadence down, it just gets easier and easier. And now I think she's making, you know, my laugh and my tone and my cadence is actually merging with hers. So I think that that's kind of like, you know, the working hazard. But, yeah, it just took some time, and after a couple of years, I think I really got it down.
Glenn Beck
So you, you watch her a lot.
What is your, what are your thoughts about, I don't know, her intelligence level. What is, what's the deal with her?
Estee Palti
It's very easy for me in that sense. That's why it's easy for me to mimic her and to create, like, this sarcastic satire, because I find her very ingenuine in general. I think comedians or impressionists, they have this thing where they have to watch people and be observant. And just watching her, she comes off so in genuine, so inauthentic, you know, down to the laugh and intelligence wise, you know, I'll tell you something, just from a woman's perspective, forget about conservative, liberal, any of that. From a woman's perspective, I will be completely honest with you. Just, it makes me angry that someone like that can be in power and is making women look bad across the board, because we're a lot better than that. And she doesn't give women in America a good name, especially with how she got here. Let's be real. I'm calling a spade a spade, and I think that's what people find refreshing about my content is that I'm pretty much, like, direct in your face criticizing her through comedy, because I find her very, very ingenuine, and I don't find her intelligent at all, despite the fact that she was district attorney and her track record speaks for itself. Look what she did in the Bay area. Look what she did with the population of the black men that she had, the fact that they can do this. And she comes out on a stage and gaslights over and over again. And specifically, I want to say the word gaslights because everything she says is completely untrue. It's the exact opposite. And they project a lot in their campaign.
And, you know, at this point, I'm not sure where this road will lead me. But right now I'm being, I'm just being true to myself, and I really want to just expose her as much as I can. And I think comedy is the best way to do that.
Glenn Beck
I agree with you. I agree with you. And you're very good at it.
You don't know where it's leading you. Well, if, if they win, it may be jail. I just want to throw that out there probably. Yeah.
Estee Palti
I mean, I come from communist Russia. I know how these things work. My mom tells me all the time, you got to be careful. These people play dirty. And because I come from there, I could see what's happening here, and it's just really sad. Like, she's a democratic socialist. I don't understand how people don't see it, but hopefully she doesn't win.
You know, money isn't everything. I really rather we get our country back.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I agree.
Well, thank you so much. And you just, you have to give me one more Kamala laugh. Or could you do something with the yellow school buses that you just love so much?
Estee Palti
I just love them. You know, they're so great. And the wheels turn on those yellow school buses. And, you know, I have a Venn diagram about it. You're right on my wall.
And on one side there's Willie, on one side there's the yellow and it's just great. Willie's the driver. Right.
I love that joke, you know, and I don't understand the obsession that I've developed or when I developed this obsession. But, you know, buses are great and I'm sticking with it. Right.
Glenn Beck
Kamala Harris, thank you so much.
Estee Palti
Thank you for having me on.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. God bless you. You're just the best. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is with the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's easy to get disturbed, discouraged when pro Hamas protesters are defacing national property right outside the capitol during a visit from the israeli prime minister. It's the kind of thing that maybe makes you a little embarrassed, maybe a little bit or angry? I was a little angry.
Maybe you want to let Benjamin Netanyahu and the whole state of Israel know, hey, not all of us are raving packs of uneducated, criminal morons.
Most of us are. You know, for the Jews, and I don't mean necessarily politically or anything. We just think they have a right to exist. You know, I started the small things. Well, I don't know.
For centuries, they've been trying to kill all the Jews. What do you say we give the other side a chance? Are we before letting them live?
For more than 40 years, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel. And within hours of the war starting every day since, they have been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable. Remember, God is not on our side. He never will be on our side. We have to work to be on his side.
And we are brothers and sisters with the jewish people. And we are spiritual inheritage, inheritors of that mantle. And the international fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing the right thing.
And you can join them. Christians like you support Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It is the support that helps the survivors remain steadfast and strong. To hear more stories about the survivors, you can find them, and you can support Israel by going to support ifcj.org dot. That's support ifcj.org.
10 seconds. Station id oh, my gosh. She is so funny, by the way, Kamala Harris, she would come on this show, you know, because she's doing all of the hard hitting interviews right now. I don't know if you've heard of to, but she just did an interview in the season finale of RuPaul's drag Race all Stars.
Stu Burguiere
Wow. She said she didn't bury it in like a mid season episode. This is the finale.
Glenn Beck
No.
Stu Burguiere
Where.
Glenn Beck
No, this is the finale of gets addressed.
Stu Burguiere
Really tough. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah. He's. Cause he's a little upset. He's got questions on the economy and the war in Israel and all kinds of really hard hitting things.
But she, she's, she's there and she shows up right at the, you know, just in a surprise place. Surprise. Here I am. And she told RuPaul, each day we're seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everybody to be who they are, to love who they love openly and with pride. And, and she said, you know, I'm going to fight back against these attacks because, you know, I feel this way so much of the time.
You just can't love who you want to love. You know, it's illegal.
Stu Burguiere
Can't even say the word gay. In most of this country, it's illegal.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. You can't even say the word gay.
Stu Burguiere
No, David.
Glenn Beck
Can't love. Who? You.
Stu Burguiere
I don't know if you remember this. Corey Gardner banned birth control, first of all. So now that going on, and then you got.
Now you can't say the word gay. What's next? Next. Can I ask you a serious question about this, though, Glenn? I do legitimately find this fascinating.
Like, they're trying to win, right? Like, in theory, like, the Democrats are trying to win this election. They're behind in theory. They've had some problems here.
There's an assassination attempt against their opponent.
Their candidate had to drop out of the race because he's too old. After they've been lying about it for multiple years. On and on and on and on and on, on. And you'd think there would be this movement toward trying to attract middle of the road voters.
One of the biggest cultural debates we've had has.
Has legitimately revolved around drag queen story hour. Right. For years.
And they make their first campaign appearance with RuPaul, like, just as forgetting. Forgetting their ideology for a minute. And maybe that just explains it, but forget the ideology. What is the political calculation of leading off your campaign with a RuPaul interview?
Glenn Beck
You're not capable of doing serious interviews.
You have got to get your base whipped up into a frenzy and behind you. And you have to say things like, you can't. You can't love who you love openly and with pride. That's ridiculous. And everybody knows that. But if you can whip that community up because you're about to lose your. Your Hamas support. And I know that's not usually something a party goes after in America, but they wanted it, and I think they're about to lose it.
Stu Burguiere
It's.
Glenn Beck
You gotta.
Stu Burguiere
But, I mean, Kamala's been the one who's been harder on Israel, calling for a ceasefire publicly. Right? They are. Now. There's reports that Josh Shapiro is being targeted with genocide. Josh. To try to block him from being the VP nominee.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Well, he screams genocide, doesn't he?
Stu Burguiere
Oh, he seems like. Yeah, I don't think he's a good governor, but, like, I don't think he's pro genocide.
Glenn Beck
You don't think he's really.
Stu Burguiere
No. Okay. I think the people of Pittsburgh are safe for the moment. Moment.
I mean, always look behind you, of course.
Glenn Beck
But are the Jews in Pittsburgh?
Stu Burguiere
We can't say.
I just find it fascinating. I mean, if you want an easy interview, you could do it with Colbert, right? You could do it. You could do it with a hundred different places. Why would you go to this controversial cultural flashback?
Glenn Beck
You need your soldiers, but you need the ones who are, you know, Stephen Colbert is not. Is. It doesn't. That's. You're going into your soldiers, you know, barracks, and you're saying, look, guys, I know who you are. And tomorrow morning when we get up, you gotta be all in, okay? And that's different than standing in front of a stage of all of the soldiers and saying those same words, even. This is. This is your elite group here. And she's got several of them. She's got the socialists, the anarchists, she's got the criminals.
Stu Burguiere
I feel like you have a lot of them already. Right? Like, I. Aren't you trying to, I don't know, voters that are somewhat in the middle, like, I mean, even if you wanted to do an interview to your base, you could do it with Rachel Maddow.
Glenn Beck
Right?
Stu Burguiere
You could do it with Lawrence O'Donnell and get an easy interview. Why would you go to. It's like trying to put all this in the face of voters, which seems like the opposite of what you'd want to do in this situation, because I'm.
Glenn Beck
Going to say something very controversial.
You know, drag queens and gay people, they're people, too. They eat food, they go to the grocery store. You know, that tends hunger and poverty tends to make people a little less likely. Go in and shore up your troops. It's the only thing I can think of other than just the worst strategist in the world, Glenn Beck.
All right, let me tell you about relief factor sleep. When you factor in all the time you spend at work and time eating meals and time hanging out with friends and family, everything else you do on a daily basis, it's a miracle. We have time for sleep. And I think sleep is a really waste of time. It really is.
When you do have time to sleep and you are laying there in bed and you can't sleep, there's nothing that's worse, in my opinion.
You need to go to sleep, stay asleep, and it can be very frustrating, but you don't have to deal with that. Would you try relief factor sleep? It's called z factor, and it comes from the makers of relief factor. It's 100% drug free, and it will help you fall asleep faster, sleep better, and stay asleep longer. And it uses just like the regular relief factor for a formula of four different natural ingredients. To calm your mind, relax your body so you can ease into sleep faster and sleep through the night.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program on the 20 and 21 September.
I'm opening up our Willy Wonka factory called Mercury Studios. It's rarely open to the public, but we're going to open it this time. We have something called the american narratives in fine art show that is happening. And this is an art show that I put together and, and tried to assemble the best artists in America. And I'm shocked at the quality of people that have said yes and are coming. It was, it was overwhelming, these great artists, painters, sculptors that went in and we gave them a list of everything in our museum, all of the american history, and said, does anything inspire you to paint something about America and tell that story?
And they all picked something. Some of them picked the same things, which is going to be interesting to watch. And at this art show, you can come and look at the art and you can see the actual artifacts. It's a combination of a museum and an art show. You can buy the art proxy bid. You don't even have to actually go to be able to buy some of the art.
You can find it all on the website at americannarratives in fine art.com. there's about, I think, 30 pieces now. There's more coming in every day.
And you can look at all of it, and you can meet the artists, and they're going to be doing workshops and everything else that weekend. This is an art show that I didn't want snotty people to be talking to you about the art. I want the artist to be talking to you.
I want the average person to be able to enjoy this. And then you vote on the most inspirational piece of art that really brings to life american history. So it's not going to be based on, you know, the brushstrokes or anything else. It's going to be based on this one makes me feel something. And you will be the one that decides. I want to introduce you to one of the amazing artists, Jason Rich. He is a, he is a world renowned artist. He just won best of show in the 2024 Cm Russell auction.
He, he paints american narratives. But I'm not sure he's ever done anything like this before.
Welcome, Jason. How are you doing?
Jason Rich
Great, Glenn. Thanks for having me on the show. It's good to be here.
Glenn Beck
You bet. I don't know why you decided to do this show with us, but we're grateful that you did.
Jason Rich
Oh, I'm excited for the show. It's a great opportunity for me to do some things that I don't normally get to paint and tell some stories that I've been wanting to tell for a long time.
No, it's a great.
Glenn Beck
You took three things from the, from the museum as inspiration for you, and one of them is the hat of John Wayne.
And so you've done. I'm trying to remember what you called it. What is the John Wayne painting called?
Jason Rich
Well, the title is called Rooster's ride, and so anybody familiar with John Wayne and his movies will know right away who he's representing there and what this is about.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
And then you picked. You picked two others.
The other one is Lucille Ball. Why did you pick her?
Jason Rich
You know, that's. That's really off radar for me. I've made my career painting a lot of cowboy western over the years. So. So John Wayne was not too far out of my wheel house, you know, but as I walked through your collection, I mean, I was inspired by a lot of things. Of course. It was. It was really amazing to walk through that. But I think a little bit of nostalgia here. When I came across that vanity with Lucille Ball and you had the dress there, it took me back to my youth watching reruns of her show and the memories that created. And as soon as I saw that, I could just visualize her sitting there in front of that vanity in that dress. And so I just. I thought it'd be fun to try and capture that moment and portray her in that way.
Glenn Beck
It's amazing because I've seen pictures of her in front of that vanity that we have not in the dress, dressed as Charlie Chaplin, and it's really a magical photograph of her. But this, I've never. I've never seen her wear that dress except on the tv show. And sitting in the vanity in full color is really, really amazing. You're also doing something on Ulysses S and President Grant.
Jason Rich
Yes. Yes. I'm working on those pieces right now. And this has been really interesting for me to learn some things about him that I didn't know beyond just being such a great military mind and commander and then president, of course.
He was a really gifted horseman. And, of course, I grew up with horses training and showing and riding my whole life. And so I was really drawn to that. But his life is just full of stories, even from his time as a youth, that he just did incredible things with horses.
And so there's a lot of stories that could be told.
One of the paintings that I'm working on right now is when he was in the military academy at West Point, and, and he was, he was kind of the star equestrian there and was often the troops. People would come just to watch him ride. He was always given the horses that couldn't be ridden. And on one, on one of the final formal events, he was highlighted on, on one of the horses there that no one else could ride. And he did a high job jump that held a record for decades for the highest jump. And so I'm going to try and capture that moment in his military wear, doing the high jump on this horse that was named York.
And so that's going to be one of the stories that I portray. But, yeah, his life is just full of incredible stories. So I'm hoping to do more in the future.
Glenn Beck
Well, thank you, Jason, for being a part of this and helping us tell american stories and trying to get american artists to connect again with our story and tell it passionately. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Jason Rich
Yeah, my pleasure. Grateful to be a part of it.

Stu Burguiere
We were talking about doing a little mini state of the race here after all of these changes. And you tell me where I'm wrong on this because I think one of the things people are worried about and thinking about at least, is does Kamala Harris actually have a chance in this race?
And I think the answer to that is more of a chance than Joe Biden did, David.
And that's enough of a reason to, to be rooting this entire time for Biden to stay in the race, because if you have a dynamic in which you are virtually guaranteed a victory and quite possibly a blowout victory, the last thing you want is for any changes to occur in that dynamic. So any change from Joe biden to anyone is probably a bad thing at the end of the day for Donald Trump. It doesn't mean he's going to lose. It doesn't mean he is even the underdog. In fact, I don't think he is.
I would, I would think that Kamala Harris is still the underdog, but there's very little that Kamala Harris does worse than Joe Biden.
Of all the things that people complain about when it comes to Joe Biden, overwhelmingly so. At the very top of the list is his age.
86% of voters said he was too old to run for another term, and that number with Kamala Harris goes from 86% to 0%.
So just that change is a massive change in the dynamic and one you don't want to see if you're Donald Trump, that doesn't mean he's the underdog here, doesn't mean he's going to lose by any means. But I will say that you better run this race as if your trip to the White House in January is being threatened.
I think Trump and his team will do that, but it's not that. You should not be overconfident. Even though Kamala Harris is a dolt, there's no doubt about that. But still, she is going to get overwhelmingly positive media attention. They're going to do everything they can to hide her past. We've seen it already that she didn't really support the people burning Minnesota to the ground and trying to get them bailed out of prison. Oh, you just imagine that, that she wasn't really the border czar. That was just a made up title that we happened to include in all our news reports a couple of years ago. It's already happening. And that will work on some people. We wouldn't complain about the media all the time if it wasn't for the fact that some of their tactics will work if people don't know the truth.
So that's a real possibility. And I wouldn't, I wouldn't sit here and be panicked about Kamala Harris by any means. But concern should be there. Concern should be here. This is a more difficult race for him to win. I mean, if you just think about it this way, I watched the debate as everyone else did. We did Blaze tv coverage, and after that, I watched the CNN coverage of the debate just to watch them all wallow in what had just happened. And eventually, about halfway through, they brought on Kamala Harris as an interview to try to defend Joe Biden.
Look, there's a massive difference. All of her word salad nonsense that we have captured at Veep, thoughts.com, by the way, over the years, all that stuff is funny and it's bad, but it's nowhere near as bad as what Joe Biden put up, put on the table in that debate or really any other time, since she is capable of speaking. Yes, sometimes it's gibberish, but it is, these are at least known english words that she spits out.
So I kind of see this going one of two ways, where you have one way is she is seen as sort of a new candidate and gets a clean slate, and people start comparing her to what they just had in Joe Biden. And she will be able to clear that hurdle maybe by not a lot. I don't think she's that. I think she's below replacement level Democrat. But that doesn't mean she can't clear the Joe Biden hurdle. She should be able to clear that, that as far as communication and certainly with age.
And so if all that stuff happens, what you're looking at is probably a close election, the type of election you would have imagined, you know, if, if a, you know, Joe Biden was 65 and able to speak some sort of generic Republican versus Democrat type of race. And of course, that's going to be close because as you may have noticed there's a good percentage of the population that does have Trump Derangement syndrome, and they will not vote for Trump no matter what.
So they will not even consider him.
And that, you know, some people in, when Biden was the candidate, were bailing on Biden and going to other candidates, whether it's Cornel west or Jill Stein or RFK junior, whoever it was, you know, that those people are kind of allowing themselves to come home. That's scenario one. Scenario two is the one I would wish would happen was that people would see this as what it was. I mean, basically a coup attempt where they overthrew the candidate that won the primary because they thought he was going to lose.
And people will recognize that Kamala Harris lied to the american people profusely for years about the mental acuity of this president, lied over and over and over again, and was a major, if not the major force in the COVID up of his mental well being, and now continues to lie for him so that he can remain in office for whatever deal they made for her to get the nomination.
If people see it that way, and there's some evidence that they do, you could be looking at not only a blowout, but maybe a blowout that's even larger than what would have happened with Biden if there's that feeling that this was a cover up and she should be held responsible. There is new polling out on this, by the way.
54% of voters believe there was a cover up of Biden's mental state.
30% don't believe that. Of the people who do believe it, though, of the 54%, almost every single person thinks Kamala Harris is responsible for it. I think it's 92%. So it is a major, major factor.
It is.
It's the type of thing I look at. It was probably a 10% chance that Trump lost when Biden was the nominee. Now it might be 40, and I think people might think that's too high.
But at the end of the day, she is a bad Democrat. She's not good at this. You will find all sorts of things that annoy you and she will be terrible. But the bar to clear is Joe Biden right now. And if that bar is cleared, you're not excited about it. If you're Donald Trump.
We can look at some of the polling since the Biden dropout and the assassination attempt. It all shows Biden and Harris really close. Frankly, most of it does just show as a close race. She seems to be pulling slightly better than Biden was. But again, Biden, even after the debate, was only behind by three points or so in the national polls.
That is not necessarily good news for Democrats. Obviously being behind is bad, but also they probably need to win, win by about two, two and a half points in the popular vote to actually win the election when it comes to electoral college. So that'll be something to watch. They can't just be behind by one and be the favorites. They will still be the underdogs. It's a fascinating thing to watch. We'll need a couple more weeks on the polls to really, to really note. I will say one thing that's been interesting is RFK junior s support sort of falling apart since Kamala became the nominee. Those Democrats kinda kind of bailing on him going back. And I've seen two polls now where RFK junior is now hurting Trump more than Biden, which is a reversal to months and months and months of polling before that. And that could be a factor going forward as well. We cover this on State of the race. It's a podcast series available at studos America. Wherever you get your podcast, check that out. And we'll have more coming up on Monday.
