Starting point is 00:01:45 So joyful. So united, you know, there's no problems. They made it very clear this week, too, that Donald Trump is an anti-Semite. But they're not. That's joy. That's joy. You're just explaining how you express joy. That's when you say the other people that are your opponents are anti-Semites. That's how you express joy. Yeah. The other thing that I've known, noticed is, and this is really exciting. A month ago, the Democrats and Kamala Harris was telling us that the economy is fine, that there's no problem with the economy. In fact, you don't get it if you think there's a problem. You know, you have more money. You just don't notice it. You know, somehow or another, you're missing that. So there was no problem with the economy. And now the
Starting point is 00:02:39 same people, including Kamala Harris, are telling us, yeah, there is a problem, but we're going to fix it. That's how, I mean, what? Basically, Glenn, biodynamics is working. And it is working in a way to present an opportunity for Kamala Harris to fix the economy. That's how it's working. Right. It doesn't, ha. That's interesting, because it doesn't really work.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I mean, the lies that they tell and they expect us to swallow. And if people do swallow these things, if it really turns out that she wins with all of these lies, I don't know how I can handle it. This is terrifying. I really don't. If you're in this same position that I'm in right now, we're in serious trouble as a country because that's all I keep thinking about when I'm watching this. This entire convention is one gigantic lie broken up into a bunch of different speakers. And this lie that they're joyful after spending year after year after year saying that their opponents were fascists and dictators that were going to go through and arrest all gay people in the country and put them in camps. This is the joyful party we're supposed to believe.
Starting point is 00:04:06 And they keep saying the word freedom over and over again. as if this party is based on anything that could possibly be translated as freedom. It's the exact opposite. I have to tell you, it is, it's so frustrating because I said when Kamala was chosen, well, this will be good because we can finally have, hey, big government, socialism, you know, universal health care, the experts are in control of everything, versus no. Small government, you're in charge. You know, mind your own damn business.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I... And what they've done is they are accusing the Republicans for everything that they've already done and are going to do more of. And they're saying that they're the Freedom Party. They're the small government. They do... Last night, Walls says, mind your own damn business. It's not the government's place.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You put a snitch line together. Yep, for COVID. For people to call and report their neighbors for when their business was out of line. But this is the mind your own damn business guy. I mean, the one upside you could find from watching this convention is it's quite clear everyone realizes the Republican message. is actually the popular one. Because all they're doing is saying the things that conservatives actually believe. Now, they're lying about the fact that they're going to do them.
Starting point is 00:05:49 But they said, I mean, I went through some of this. They said their main platform policies last night, middle class tax cuts. Now, look, that's a conservative proposal, obviously. Tax cuts are a conservative issue, but they're trying to take that. They want to take on big pharma. Are you kidding me? You just spent multiple years saying you would all, everyone would lose their jobs if they didn't take a particular product from Pfizer or Moderna.
Starting point is 00:06:21 What do you mean you're going to take on big pharma? How can you possibly be saying that after what you've done over the past few years? They're going to, um, they want to give you freedom to live the life you want to lead. Now, look, we have differing views as to what government is supposed to do, okay, as conservatives and progressives. Progressives have a philosophy that at some level, while awful and my view evil, it is rational, which is, look, there are really smart people in the world. And those people who have more experience and more knowledge than you should be put in control and in charge of making basic. decisions for you. What do you drive? What kind of air conditioning do you have? How big is your home? What kind of stove do you have? All of these types of things are decisions that they can make
Starting point is 00:07:16 for you. What kind of electricity? How is that being generated for you? We'll make that decision for you. But we're going to need a bunch of more of your money to be able to put all this infrastructure together and we'll make those decisions for you. We will control the aspects of your life that you can't handle. You can't make all these decisions. You can't make all these decisions. It's too difficult. And this is go back to Philip Drew administrator, Glenn's favorite reference, Woodrow Wilson's favorite book. This is the idea. You put experts in control. Anthony Fauci's a great example of this, right? You put a guy like that in control. He will tell you whether you go to work or not, right? That's how this works for them. And while I don't agree
Starting point is 00:07:55 with a philosophy, it is a coherent philosophy of government. And honestly, a much more common one throughout world history. If you go back and look, the natural state of man is to be controlled by their betters. That's how this has worked forever, and it is their philosophy. But what they are pitching at this convention is our philosophy. No, you just make your own decisions.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You choose what you want to do with your life. You screw it up, you kind of do it. Mind your own damn business. Stay out of my health care. I want to just make my decisions with my doctor. These are all our arguments, and they're just saying them. and then backing them up with policies that do the exact opposite.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And if the American people are this dumb, if they are so stupid that they fall for this, we deserve everything we get from it. We do. We do. We do. Can we get cut 16 from Tim Walls last night? Here's an example of exactly what Stu is talking about. Here's Tim Walls last night. They'll start jacking up the cost on the middle class. They'll repeal the affordable care.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Act. They'll gut Social Security and Medicare. Come on. And they will ban abortion across this country with or without Congress. Okay, stop. The Supreme Court said
Starting point is 00:09:17 that it is the decision of the states. Donald Trump is so very clear. In fact, he has pissed off a lot of people by saying, you know what, I'm just going to leave it up the states. He's not
Starting point is 00:09:33 going to ban abortion. No. He is not going to jack up prices for the middle class. That is so ridiculous. Who has... Let me ask you. The price of groceries four years ago when Donald Trump was president. We have for the first time
Starting point is 00:09:53 a way to compare. First time in my life. I know what this president will do. I know what the next president. is going to do because they've both been in the White House. Okay? First time in my life. They've both been in the White House.
Starting point is 00:10:10 So you just have to A, B, compare. Were you better off four years ago? Did you have more freedom or was it more scary back then? Was it, did you think the government was going to come and get you? Don't talk to me about your feelings. Don't talk to me about what people said they were going to do. What did he do? What did he do?
Starting point is 00:10:43 What are these guys doing? Here's another one. You want to talk about jacking up prices? Cut 20. Here's Tim Walls talking about health and housing. That's how we'll build a country where workers come first. Health care and housing are human rights. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And the government stays the hell out of your bedroom. Stop. Stop. Listen to that. Listen to that. So health and housing are human rights. We've moved past health care is a human right, which it is not. Okay?
Starting point is 00:11:24 A human right is what you're born with. You were never promised a doctor. Okay? It is a very nice luxury that we in the West have had for a very long time. But it's not a human right. Housing is not a human right. Now, this is horrible to say because you want everybody to be taken care of. You want everybody to have, you know, a roof over their head, every child be fed.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I get that. But if you make it a human right, then what has to happen? then the government must guarantee. This is the Soviet Constitution. So you know, he's quoting from the Soviet Constitution, a communist country. If it's a human right, then the government must guarantee it. The government must provide housing and health.
Starting point is 00:12:26 We told you, no, Let me take it to them. They told you that if we have Obamacare, it will be fixed. If we have Obamacare, you will save the average family $1,000 a year. Have you saved any money since Obamacare? Has it gone up or has it gone down in price? Is it easier to get health care or harder to get health care? Did you get to keep your doctor?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Did you get to keep your insurance? Kamala Harris is on record, clearly saying, we've got to move away from this private health care. It's got to go public. Just get away from the insurance companies and everything else. The government needs to take care of it. Of course she says that. Her running mate is quoting the Soviet Constitution.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And then he follows it with, and government get out of your bedroom. The government is going to be in everything. If the government takes over housing and health care, they will be everywhere. Then Bill Clinton took the stage. Boy, you just see him shaking badly? That's a pretty picture. Yeah, let's go to cut 29, please. Brutal, tough business.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I want you to be happy. One of the reasons that President to be Harris is doing so well as it were all so happy. I mean, if you believe, come on, how stupid can you be to believe this nonsense? I mean, this is, the reports are that he rewrote the speech because he wanted to reflect the joy of the evening. It's embarrassing. and then the media is repeating it. It's like they decided they want a joy to be their banner, their little advertisement for what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:14:43 And so they all just started saying it themselves. And then they all told reporters that this is what they were going for. Any self-respecting reporter that would use the word joy in context with this is an embarrassment to their jobs. This is exactly what they want you to say is how joyful they are. And I have heard it come out of the mouth, not just of Democrats and not just people going to and trying to be elected, but by journalists after journalist after journalists who's saying what we're seeing here is such a joyful, such a joyful spectacle,
Starting point is 00:15:16 such a joyful patriotism. This is different than what you're seeing at the Republic. This is joyful. How can you say those words after all of these hacks in the, in the democratic establishment, have leaked the word to you, unless you are just a. mindless robot repeating the talking points of the party you want to win with no ounces of self-respect nearby, you would just, even if you wanted to say the same thing, you'd come up with a different way to say it. They're saying the exact same words. And so much of this goes back to the fact that this party is certain that the American people are dumb. They're certain of it. They know it for a fact in their minds. And if they are right, we deserve
Starting point is 00:16:03 everything we get here. I, those journalists that are doing that, I pity them. I pity them. Really? What a miserable life they are leading. Yes. What you're living in that kind of life, there's one thing that you are not, and that's joyful. Let me give you something else that just makes my eyes bleed.
Starting point is 00:16:25 This is from Michelle Obama. Cut 55, please. Here she is talking about. her family and, you know, they didn't trust rich people. Listen to this. That anyone can succeed have given the opportunity. She and my father didn't aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.
Starting point is 00:16:54 They understood that it wasn't enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning. You know, I can handle this. I can handle this. If she didn't just take three quarters of a million dollars to give a speech recently, three quarters of a million dollars to give a speech. Now, God bless America. If there are people out there that want to pay to listen to her three quarters of a million dollars,
Starting point is 00:17:28 great. She should take it. But don't lecture me about taking more. than you need. I think that's probably more than you need. Well, then again, maybe not, because you have four houses. You have three people in your family. So I guess the fourth house is a vacation house, you know, and everybody lives in a separate mansion. But don't lecture me. She actually said that, you know, we're not part of that trust fund. You just gave your daughter over 10, million dollars in a trust fund. So please, and how did you make your money? How did you make your money?
Starting point is 00:18:11 You were poor when you went into the White House. You were complaining about how you couldn't pay your student loans. You were poor. You are now worth over $70 million. How did you make that money? was that in the private sector or was that in the public sector? Did you make that money because you were connected to government? Because you were president? Because you were first lady? Three quarters of a million dollars, please don't tell me about how people just have to share. They just have to know when enough is enough.
Starting point is 00:18:54 How much is enough for you, Michelle? How much is enough for you? Barack, how much? Just give me a number. Just give me a number. Seventy million seems great. Now, I would like to be able to strive to make more than that in my lifetime, but I'm just a greedy capitalist. You only need 70 million.
Starting point is 00:19:24 So sick. I mean, I got to, I mean, what is the world going to look like in six months from now? I have no idea, do you? We could be in civil war. England is on the verge of it right now. What is that going to mean for our dollar? What is that going to mean for the economy? It's not going to mean anything good.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Please, difficult times are ahead. Please call Lear Capital today for the sake of your family.

So call them today, $800957 gold. 800-957 gold. Now back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So he had a busy schedule. We wanted to get him on the program today.
Starting point is 00:20:52 So J.D. Vance and I spoke earlier this morning so he could get on the road. and we talked about the convention for the Democrats and the vision. Here's what happened. When you see that they say they have a bold vision for America, have you heard that vision yet? No, I really haven't, Glenn. Here's the weird thing about all this is you have the entire Democratic campaign running on a kind of collective amnesia where they say that Kamala Harris will do this,
Starting point is 00:21:30 thing on day one or Kamala Harris has a vision to accomplish that thing. And then you realize that Kamala Harris has been the vice president for three and a half years. And she has affirmatively made all of these problems worse, not better during her time in office, right? So you can't say Kamala Harris is going to secure the border because she opened it up. You can't say Kamala Harris is going to lower inflation because she cast a deciding vote on programs that increased inflation. So I think that this is just not something that the American people buy. And And final observation, Glenn, and again, I haven't seen the whole thing. But there's a lot of talk about unity.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And I remember the old editor's trope of show, don't tell. So they're telling a lot about unity. But they're actually, in the rest of their remarks, they're showing a very dark vision of half the country, where they basically say, if you vote for Donald Trump because you want to change in this country's direction, you're a bad person. and if you don't see that he's anti-immigrant, an anti-black, an anti-woman, then you're a bad person. You can't win an election telling Americans that they're bad people because they want to pay lower costs for groceries and housing. You win the election by persuading people, and I haven't seen a whole lot of that at the DNC. But I wonder, though, with the power of the press in lockstep like they're, I've never seen anything like this.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I mean, for instance, it was the Democrats that are now saying that Kamala's going to fix the economy. But it's those same Democrats that were telling us a month ago that you're a conspiracy theorist or you just don't get it if you think the economy is bad because the economy is fine. So how do you win and get your argument heard when 80% of the news is. bad on you, and 88% on them is great. You know, I think we just have to keep on telling our story and telling the truth, Glenn, and that's something we do through paid media, commercials, digital advertising, and so forth. And it's something we do in the mainstream media, even though they're not fair.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You know, I did five interviews last night with NBC, ABC, CNN, CVS, and so forth. And I think that the one thing that really differentiates President Trump and me from our opponents is we're willing to take our message to hostile media. And so, yeah, they're going to be critical of what we say afterwards, but we're at least able to get the message out there because we're willing to engage. And, you know, Glenn, you raise a really important point here, which is that if you're an American citizen, you've paid attention to this election, you'd be forgiven for having a headache from the ricocheting message of the Democratic Party. A month ago, it was the Biden economy was great. Don't believe your line eyes. Just vote for Joe Biden. And
Starting point is 00:24:22 now it's yes the economy is terrible but comal harris who's been vice president for three and a half years is going to come in and fix the whole thing it just doesn't make sense um let me uh let me switch to i know you're going to be in georgia today and you're going to be talking about crime and and uh the border um but if you look at every single western country especially england sweden germany france every one of them have a problem with uh what what they call refugees I would call them illegal aliens. And people are noticing that they're destroying the culture, the finances, crime is skyrocketing.
Starting point is 00:25:02 This isn't a Biden-Harris problem alone. This seems to be happening in every Western country. Is this the result of a global deep state? Well, I think it's certainly the result of a very suicidal set of ideas, which suggests that if you want to have any control on immigration in your own country, you are a bad person, you're a racist, et cetera, et cetera. And what this has led to is European nations and, of course, the United States being unwilling to control our borders
Starting point is 00:25:35 when at least half of our political leadership just doesn't believe in it. And I think that we just have to, you know, get back to some basic common sense here. You don't hate anybody, but you don't necessarily want the entire world to become part of your country. And you may even believe that a country can assimilate some measure, you know, some measure of immigration, but that doesn't mean you can have everybody, right? It's one thing for the United States to take in a few hundred thousand people. It's another thing to take in three million people. It's another thing to take in 30 million people, which is probably the current best estimate of the number of illegal aliens we have. And it's just preposterous to me
Starting point is 00:26:14 that Democrats don't acknowledge this basic reality. And yes, you're right, whether it's in Europe or the United States, it's led to higher crime. It's led to a lot of innocent victims that don't need to have suffered what they've suffered. And it's led, I think, really to a real backlash against our leaders and justifiably so. Let me take you to the Secret Service for a second. Yesterday, the New York Post reported that he was using encrypted messaging, and he had accounts on various platforms located in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Are you, it's been a month. Are you and President Trump satisfied with the investigation and the way it's going and the information that we have and haven't gotten? No, certainly not. I know I'm not. And I will say this as somebody who newly has a Secret Service detail. And I think the guys that I've worked with are just the consonant professionals.
Starting point is 00:27:21 They're great people and they're doing a good job. There clearly needs to be some better understanding of what broke about the leadership in the wake of President Trump's assassination attempt. And this is frankly on Congress. It's on Chuck Schumer's United States Senate. And it's on the Biden administration to get to the bottom of what mistakes were made. Maybe the mistakes were not intentional. You never know, of course, until you do the actual investment. But you have to have a real investigation.
Starting point is 00:27:49 And if I'm looking at this from the perspective of America's citizens, I'd be demanding that Kamala Harris, who's the vice president of the United States, actually gets to the bottom of this and empowers her government to do a real investigation that just has not happened yet. You know, you would think that they would be interested, that every politician would be interested in this, especially if you have secret service protection. if it is just a flawed system and a series of just bad calls and mistakes, your life is at stake. And you would think that everyone would be interested in making sure that, you know, no mistakes were made again. No, that's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:28:34 I mean, again, you don't know, was it a couple guys who screwed up? Was it something more systematic? Was it something about the processes or the procedures? These are the sorts of things where, you know, we always believe in democratic government that sunshine is the best disinfectant. And so we really do have to have, I think, a more honest accounting of what went wrong. Obviously, some of the leadership is faced some pressure, but that's not really what we're talking about. We're talking about a real investigation. I know, you know, Ron Johnson, my colleague from Wisconsin, a great friend, has really looked into this aggressively.
Starting point is 00:29:05 He's trying to get to the bottom of it. But when you're a minority senator in the minority party, there's only so much you can do. Frankly, if Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris made this a priority, we would know everything we needed to know a month from now. It's interesting to me that RFK is coming on probably tomorrow and endorsing. And then you also have Elon Musk saying that he would like a position to be in charge of cutting. Is there serious discussion about Elon Musk coming on and with RFK, where does it?
Starting point is 00:29:40 do you think he would be best? Yeah, so trying not to put the cart too much before the horse with Elon, of course, because I think he's a genius, and I think he could help us a great deal, but we have to win the election first, of course, before we give Elon any positions or any titles here. I think RFK really could do a lot for us on questions of, you know, we had 8,000 veterans, I believe, maybe more that we kicked out of the military because they refused to take a vaccine. I'd love for RFK to take a look at that, but I haven't talked to him. I don't know what he's interested in.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I think the best signal that RFK can send is, look, the Kennedy Democratic Party has transformed into the open borders high inflation, Kamala Harris Democratic Party. And if you're like my grandparents, I was raised by Blue Dog, socially conservative Democrats, Glenn, if you're like my grandparents, the Kennedy Democrats are now going for Donald J. Trump and the Republicans. And I think that's a powerful message to send to the American people that the old Democratic Party was a great thing, a great institution. We didn't have to agree with it all the time, but they were patriotic people.
Starting point is 00:30:49 They are no longer welcome in this crazy new thing that Kamala Harris is in charge of. You know, I'm really appreciative that you came out and said nice things about your particular opponent who has been really raking you over the coals and everything else and that we had an honest conversation about actual politics and not nonsense. And I think the American people appreciate that. I know I do. I appreciate that, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah, I appreciate that, Glenn. And look, I've certainly tried to keep this focused on policy. Look, I mean, Tim Walts has got some problems, clearly. He's lied about his service record. I think his integrity is very much in question here. So there are certainly things that we should focus on in his record. Fundamentally, the problem is not Tim Walz. as Kamala Harris and the lack of judgment she's elected or she showed and selecting a guy who's
Starting point is 00:31:40 been dishonest about a service record. I think that we have to keep the pressure on Kamala Harris because the media is trying to lie about her. We have to correct the record. Well, thank you very much. Stay safe and stay on the right track. Thank you so much, J.D. Thanks, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:31:54 See you. You know, he also talked about that Kamala Harris is going to get us into a nuclear war. And it is a little terrifying. This is a very serious time in America. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Tucker Carlson, welcome to the program, sir. How are you? Tucker, are you there?
Starting point is 00:32:26 I'm right here. Sorry, I'm grateful to be here. So thank you. Yeah, thank you. I'm excited to see you in, when is it, September 7th, I think, in Salt Lake City. It's so funny. We're doing this tour and I'm thinking like, okay, I would love to bring people on. I know all these smart people, but there aren't many people who can perform in front of a live audience.
Starting point is 00:32:50 It's a very different kind of person. Anyway, you were the first, you were literally the first person. I thought, oh, man. No, it's going to be fun. It's really nice to you. No, I appreciate the invite. It's going to be fun. It's going to be in Salt Lake City, the Delta Center.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You know how many seats that has? I have no idea. Tucker? I'm still overwhelmed by it. I haven't looked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's big. Yeah, it's big.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Delta Center, September 7th. You can get the tickets at Tucker Carlson.com, Tucker Carlson.com. So, Tucker, I haven't talked to you in a couple of weeks or a few weeks. And I would love your overall take on the insanity that we have seen. from the attempted assassination to today. What are your thoughts? What the hell is happening?
Starting point is 00:33:46 It actually, it really is like a car crash. You know, everyone's been in a car, anyone who's been in a car crash or any kind of unexpected traumatic event knows it takes months to sort of reconstruct what happened. That's how I feel about what we've seen in the past six weeks from the debate where it was just obvious, minute then that Biden, that everything we suspected about Biden was true, that he could not continue, that he couldn't run the country, that he hadn't been running the country,
Starting point is 00:34:14 and that he would be taken off the ticket. That was just immediately obvious to me. Then watching the coordinated media response to that where you realize, well, wait a second, Dana Bash was in on this, all her colleagues at CNN, MSNBC, like they had their marching orders, they put them into effect. And then you thought, well, wait, everything is fake. And I think a lot of people had begun to suspect that over the last few years. years when it became clear, say the CIA was playing a meaningful role in our domestic elections. Like that's, you know, no one really thought, no one, I'll speak for myself, I didn't really think that could be happening. And I thought maybe only wackos thought it could happen, but then it
Starting point is 00:34:52 turned out to be confirmed. But when that debate happened and the media as one, acting as one, as they always do, basically kicked Joe Biden off the ticket in the first six minutes after the debate, you realized, wait a second. Like, there's a whole level of control of governance that immune from voters. Like, we have no role in this at all. Voting just plays no role in this. We're not privy to the plan. And my gosh, you know, at the very deepest level, there is a conspiracy, maybe unarticulated,
Starting point is 00:35:30 maybe a conspiracy of like-minded temperament or instinct or whatever. but it's definitely coordinated to disempower the rest of us on behalf of like the people already in charge it. And then everything that happened since then confirmed it. Trump, you know, the Biden administration allows Trump to get shot, whether intentionally or not. It's kind of irrelevant. They allowed it. Having spent, you know, an awful lot of time at events with Secret Service, I know you have as well over 30 years. That what they allowed to happen that day, you know, they allowed that.
Starting point is 00:36:01 So, and then you realize this. Secret Service is corrupt. So if you have a country where the Secret Service, the presidential bodyguard, the Praetorian Guard of the president is corrupt as a political instrument, and it joins the CIA and FBI and the entire DOJ and ATF and every three-letter agency, they're all working on behalf of a political party or the ruling cabal that controls that political party. I mean, that is just so bewildering that you think, well, you know, what is true? You know, what is this organization? Who runs it? Who's been the government for the past four years.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Well, that's what I have, I have asked that question of, of everybody I know and nobody seems to have an answer. If you look at what's happening over in Europe with their illegal problem or their, their refugees, and how the governments over there are responding to the people, and you see, it's exactly the same problems, it's exactly the same laws, the same responses, the same media response. And then you know that Joe Biden is incapable who the hell has been the president. Who is running this country? Well, what you're seeing around the world is really not around the world. It's just in traditional Christian countries. It's in the West. It's in Christendom.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It's not happening in Asia. It's not happening in Singapore. I'm having in the Legos, Nigeria. It's not happening, of course, in China or Japan. These are still ethnic states. No one can test their right to be. that, but it's happening in the historic homeland of Christianity from Scandinavia, really all the way to Hungary and Central Europe is kind of the border. They held the line. But everywhere else, Ireland, what did Ireland do to deserve this? But the same thing is happening everywhere, and you think, well, is this a conspiracy? Is it a manifestation of spiritual war? That's my conclusion. You know, I have no real evidence, but I don't see another explanation that makes sense. I don't know. But it's all happening at once. As you said, exactly the same thing. It's much bigger than just, you know, the refugee agencies pushing people in because they're liberal and the media supporting them because they're liberal to. This is the end of a civilization.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And like, why? Why would you want to destroy that civilization, which they are doing? And probably to the point where it kind of can't be fixed in any recognizable form. Because demographics really is kind of the core question of a society who lives in the country. That's the basic question. And I don't know. I guess this is a very long answer to a short question, but I just would sum it up by saying, it's so big, it's so bewildering, it's so distressing that it's kind of shut my brain down,
Starting point is 00:38:47 and I'm only now trying to figure out, you know, what do you do? How do you respond to this? What does it mean? I don't want to. Yeah. I've been saying for the last couple of weeks, you know, as I saw this whole thing unfold, and know how close we are to the edge, that this may be the last election,
Starting point is 00:39:08 and I don't even know if it'll be free and fair, but it'll be the last election in the country as we know it, or have known it. And it's your kind of your last call. I mean, if you vote for Harris Biden, it is, or I mean, Harris Walls, you are, you're pulling the, the trigger of socialism and authoritarianism?
Starting point is 00:39:37 I mean, it's all there and they're saying it out in the open. And I'm hearing from 20-somethings that are saying, you guys always say that it's going to be the most important election of your life, and it's not that bad. How bad is it, Tucker? Well, I don't think it's political, for one thing. So I don't think it's even worth thinking in terms of like the election or whatever. It's like the, the changes coming to the United States are in progress
Starting point is 00:40:07 in the United States and then Western Europe, again, all the way to the Hungarian border, you know, sort of Austria-West, but also New Zealand, also Australia, also Canada, you know, the Anglosphere, the European world. Like, the changes are so big and so profound and permanent that, you know, I don't even, I don't really know anybody who fully understands what's going on. And I spend my entire life trying to find people who do and talk to them. So, you know, I don't know, but I think we should all be thinking in much, much bigger terms than we are. I mean, I don't think the 2020 election was free and fair. Of course, it wasn't. You can't have a democracy with censorship by definition. You don't have to even worry about electronic
Starting point is 00:40:53 voting machines to know that was not a free and fair election. If you don't have access to the information required to cast an informed vote, then the election is rigged. I mean, just by definition. That's what the First Amendment is first, because it's a prerequisite for democracy. So, and we don't have it now. So, but why? Like, what is this? Why would you want to destroy Christendom, which is what they're doing? And, well, because you hate Christianity is the answer. And so those are the terms that I'm thinking of it in, because I think those are the correct terms. And I've never been particularly religious or faithful. I'm certainly not a model of Christian living, that's for sure. You know what I mean? I'm going to go buy a tin and chewing
Starting point is 00:41:34 tobacco this afternoon, and I can't wait, so I'm not a virtuous person, but I'm just, I try to be an analytical person and reach conclusions on the basis of the evidence that I can see, not the things I hear, but the things I see, because, you know, you can't disrupt your senses with lies. Like, I'm just trying to be honest with myself, and I see a total transformation of the historically Christian world. And I don't know how it shakes out, but I know that the stakes are, you know, just couldn't be higher. So, you know, preventing Kamala Harris and that incredibly creepy, you know, wrestling coach or football coach or that guy, guy, air quotes, running with her. I mean, he's just the, he, that guy is just completely undisguised. Like, I know exactly who that guy is,
Starting point is 00:42:21 having been to boarding school meetings. That guy's creepy, period. Yeah. So, but anyway, the fact that they would even run somebody like that, tells you what their agenda is. It's like completely overturning the basis of civilization, which is the relationship between a man and a woman that produces children. Like, that's the basis of all civilization. So you got a lot of heat on the Great Replacement Theory when you're at Fox. And a little bit heat. And there is, there's mounting evidence of, of, this with some people, you know, online, you know, that are of a different race.
Starting point is 00:43:06 There was one that came out, I think, yesterday the day before, and this woman, she's like, she was in England and she said, look, there are, the white population is going down. And with all the, you know, newcomers, we're winning. We're winning. That's replacement theory at its worst. However, there is a great replacement that is going on all throughout the Western world, and that is the Christianity replacement with Islam. If you see what is happening in every country in the Middle East, and Dearborn, which nobody pays attention to here, and Minnesota, you see that there is a replacement of our culture and our culture and. our faith, and it's a little terrifying when you see the numbers, just the sheer numbers in Europe.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Europe is over. Well, it's absolutely over. And the thing I find hilarious, the reason I laughed is to call something that's demonstrably true, like gravity, a theory, is itself, like, deceptive. So it's not theory, it's a math question. So what's, and by the way, it's not racial, it's not even religious. in my opinion, it's just a math question. You have the people who lived in the United States in, say, the year 2000 before everything changed with 9-11. And those people and their descendants
Starting point is 00:44:37 at, you know, what rate are they reproducing? And then, well, below replacement rate. But the country is growing really fast because new people are being imported. So by definition, again, as a math equation, the people who lived here in 2000, which was not that long ago, are being replaced by immigrants. And it's not just whites, it's native-born blacks, actually. So you always hear the country's getting less way. Well, you know, black people, African-Americans, as we call them, have lived in this country longer than, you know, Italians or Irish, you know, hundreds of years of your families have been here. They're Native American. They're Native-born Americans, and they're being replaced, too. And their political power is evaporating, which no one ever says, but it's true.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And, you know, they don't vote the same way I do, by and large, but I think that people, whose families have been here for hundreds of years, like have some claim on the country, actually. I think that. Call me crazy. And so they are being replaced, flat out. And anyone who says they're not being replaced or says it's like racist or bigoted or anti-Semitic to say that's like, what? It has nothing to do with any of that. It's just a fact. And why are you doing this to us? Actually, nobody likes it. And but why? Why is this happening? And so, yeah, they huff and puff or whatever. But they've also written a bunch of books on how great it is. I mean, if you're sending a backstectomy machine to the DNC, yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah, like what is that about? You know what I mean? It's really spiritual. And by the way, I would say, I don't think it's Islam is the religion that's replacing us. It's the LBGTQ religion, the global religion of childlessness. Well, I will tell you that I agree with that, but right now they're, you know, playing footsie with the Islamacist, and in the end, the Islamist will eat the LGBT community. Oh, 100 percent, and I'm rooting for them. Oh, my gosh. I am.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I am. I mean, I'm hardly Muslim, but I can tell you this, having spent a lot of time in the Middle East in the last few years, especially the Gulf, especially the Emirates, is much more tolerant and welcoming of Christianity than New York City is, and that Frankfurt, Germany is than London is, I mean, you can go sit at a dinner party in Abu Dhabi and talk about how much you love Jesus and everybody applauds. You know, try that in London.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Try that in New York City, like you can't. People hate you for that. So, look, I don't know exactly what that means. I don't really know what anything means, but I've experienced that, and I think the real threat to, you know, any religion that tells you it's bad to have children or children don't matter, human life doesn't matter, is evil, is demonic.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Yeah, I agree. And that's the LBGTQ religion or the global, this weird global climate religion. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do. I do. And it's scary. I do. Yeah, you will bow down to it as well.
