Starting point is 00:00:00 It's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Just got a note in. Welcome to the podcast. Before we start, just got a note in from somebody on Capitol Hill. Pelosi shock troops. They are arrogant and assured. They have been planning transitions for weeks. There is no way in their minds that Biden doesn't win this thing, which is scary. They will be leading the charge on claiming fraud and suppression. We know that they're building a fence around the White House, an unscalable fence around the White House. in my entire life. I lived in the 60s.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I was little, but I lived in the 60s. I've never seen a fence that was non-scalable put around the White House. It is, we are entering dangerous times and beyond the election. That's where we begin our podcast today with a warning that is, I believe, absolutely accurate. And it was a warning given to the president by one of the, leaders of the Catholic Church, the one that says that they are fighting people
Starting point is 00:01:34 like the Pope inside the Catholic Church. It's an amazing study. We also looked at all of the polling numbers. Yeah, we went kind of a deep dive on all of the different battleground states as well as all the Senate races. And the end game is,
Starting point is 00:01:50 I mean, who knows where this thing's going to turn out, but we are going to have a pretty dramatic night on Tuesday. And by the way, we have an election coverage. on Blaze TV. It's going to be a lot different than MSNBC or CNN or CBS or ABC. You're going to want to see BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. He gets 30 bucks off. That's only good for one more day, just like our country, only good for one more day. Don't miss it. Oh, and by the way, we have a great coverage. Speaking of that, tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:02:21 George Washington, a coffin, a dancing Trump, you name it. We've got it. Plus all of the big name. It's going to be on our coverage tomorrow. You don't want to miss it. You're listening to. Your advisor for the Trump 2020 campaign is Mercedes Schlapp. Hello, Mercedes. How are you? And it's one is going to be on your show. Yeah, it's good. Good to have you on. There's a documentary out that has been out now for a couple of weeks called the Trump I Know. and it's really about the look into the White House with the women that work in the White House and a work around Donald Trump. Yeah, so it's a great documentary.
Starting point is 00:03:18 We got to work closely with Joe Knopp, who produced it and really had the vision for it. And it's talking about the women not only at the White House, but at the campaign and even his winery here in Virginia. And it was just to show this other side of the president. The fact of the women who have seen the president firsthand really know how he is as a leader, how he thinks. And, you know, it's interesting because we all come up with the same conclusion, which is that not only is he a strong leader, but he's a compassionate person, someone who loves this country, someone who has a great sense of humor. You mentioned that earlier. And someone who really understands what it is to solve very complicated problems, being creative when it comes to.
Starting point is 00:04:04 how we solve big issues, whether it be, you know, conflict in the Middle East, whether it be tackling trade deals with China and other nations. And so that is, the president just doesn't think like a politician. And you know this because you, you know, a lot of these political types. This is not how the president functions. He will fight whoever he needs to fight, but he'll also work with whoever will want to come and work with him, whether it be a Democrat or Republican to get things done. And I think that his record has shown that he's been incredibly productive in the last 47 months. Compare that to Joe Biden, who literally has been a career politician, the ultimate insider for 47 years, who now we know is not only the politician, but a corrupt one as we've
Starting point is 00:04:50 seen. You know, I was really struck during the GOP convention. In really watching that, I thought it was brilliantly done. They, they, they, just talked to people who had normal people who had experience meeting him being around him, watching him, working with him. And it was just not the scene you see anywhere in media. No, and that's, you know, I always say this to whenever I meet like a suburban mom who's on the fence, like, I don't like the guy's tweets. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And I'm like, I wish you all would get a glimpse of how he is in person. He is so warm and so personable, and he really is someone who just connects with pretty much everyone he meets. And it's something that we, you know, I've seen him in those moments of times when he'll call a family who's lost a loved one in the military. Or, for example, when there was a shooting in Parkland, Florida, where he met with Andrew Pollock and his family when their daughter Meadows was tragically killed. And you see those moments where he really is like, what can I do to help you? What can we do to solve this problem? And I think you take the case of, for example, the members of the families of military officers who died in combat. And he always would say, he goes, we've got to end these endless wars.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Like we've got to bring our troops back home. And so his goal is always to just keep trying to figure out how people's lives better. And I just very much respect that. I mean, I've known politicians for a lot of time that it's a lot of talk, no action, or they're too scared. They're not bold enough. And the one thing about President Trump is he's bold. He says he has a promise he's made. He's going to keep it.
Starting point is 00:06:42 And that's what he's done time and time again. And it's why he's not a politician. It's why he's the ultimate outsider. And it's why the American people, you see them coming out in thousands and thousands in all these different cities because they feel like he has their voice. He's a people's president. He is not aligned with the special interests or the big media companies that are trying to silence us, try to shut us down. And you know this Glenn better than anyone else.
Starting point is 00:07:08 How long has the conservative movement they bullied us around, tried to keep us quiet, tried to minimize us and try to make us feel guilty for loving this country? And that's why President Trump has been that voice pushing backs against these liberals of the, liberals from the media, liberal from the social media companies who are now trying to censor everything. that we stay and do. I will tell you that I have, I thought about this this weekend. I don't know of any other person that is capable, even capable, let alone willing to do it. Take the shots that he has taken and really be the last line of defense for our way of life.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I don't know of anyone else that could have pulled it off and lasted this long. and is still getting up every day going, bring it on. I mean, he really is the last line of defense. He really is. And I mean, just the mere fact that he goes, did five events yesterday, five rallies today. I mean, he has endless energy. And not only that, to your point, he just keeps punching and punch him back. He won't let the liberal media win.
Starting point is 00:08:22 He won't let the liberal media or these crazy Democrats take him down. They've tried everything, from Russian hoax to impeachment to everything. And this man has been able to survive it all. And it's because not only does he has the stamina, but he is just determined, determined to keep making the case for the American people and keep pushing. Really, what I would say is such a strong agenda. I mean, you're talking about building an incredibly strong economy, which he did, he did it under his watch.
Starting point is 00:08:52 He's fighting against COVID, combating COVID. I mean, we're dealing with a global. pandemic. And this man is saying, we are not going to shut down America. We're not going to lock down America like Joe Biden is proposing. We got to reopen our economy safely. We've got to reopen our school safely. The impact that this has had on just small businesses alone and our families has been tremendous. And we got to find a way to deal with this virus in addition to being able to live our lives and do it in a safe and responsible way. And I just think that the constant moralizing coming from CNN and all these places,
Starting point is 00:09:26 how we have to live our lives. I just was reading Governor, the Governor of California, putting Thanksgiving restrictions. You can't sing. You can't chant. You can't have more than three household present. I think it's two, isn't it? The parties no longer.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Now they're saying guests must stay outside. America, you cannot make us feel that we have to live in fear. We're not going to do it. And I just think that there has to, the American people have to reject this nanny state. They need to reject these liberal governors who are trying to dictate how we live and let us have our, make our own decisions. I mean, that's really the end of it. I was listening in New York Times, The Daily, and I do it so others don't have to.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And I'm listening to this, and they're talking about Donald Trump and what do we do if he just refuses to accept that Biden wins? They never once asked, well, wait a minute, you know, Biden and Clinton and the transition integrity project, you all stated there's no way you're going to concede. You won't make that phone call if Donald Trump. It is so agonizing to watch the truth be so distorted and turned around. I don't know how the president has not just snapped. How has he kept his cool with knowing the truth, knowing what we all know now, and always getting the blame for things, always? Yes. Well, I mean, I just think right now he's razor focused on talking directly to the American people about what his agenda is as we move forward into the next four years.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And he's not going to be defeated. Like he is determined to win this election. We know that the momentum is clearly, clearly on our side. seeing the trends turn in our favor. And what I think is like it doesn't, I don't know about you, but doesn't it feel a bit like a repeat of 2016 when the polls were like he's never, President Trump won't win, he won't be able to pull it off. All the polls are saying Joe Biden, you're seeing the media writing all these stories about
Starting point is 00:11:46 what Joe Biden presidency is going to look like. And literally I'm like going, this is like a groundhog day. It's like a repeat of 2016. And so I think that the, you know, it's like we kind of want to see, see how the media continues to go down, build this narrative, try to demoralize our voters. But our voters right now are more excited than they've ever been in 2016. I mean, we are finding people, and I've traveled across these battleground states, people coming up to a thing, I've never voted before.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I'm going to vote for the first time. I'm 50 years old. And yes, I'm voting for Donald Trump because he stands for what we believe in. And this is about really protecting American values, American values. values of freedom, of faith, of country, of love of this nation. And for Americans, they don't want that to go away. They don't want to make it so that America is bad and that America, as Joe Biden said, simply an idea that we don't live up to. We live up to the American ideas every single day in this country. And so I just think that they don't want the doom and gloom of Joe Biden, the dark winter
Starting point is 00:12:53 of Joe Biden. I will tell you that I think that also, I mean, when Ronald Reagan, was in office and I felt this about Ronald Reagan from the beginning that he may be proud to be an American because he was fighting for us against Russia and the Soviet Union and he was just so great on that stage as a leader of the free world. Donald Trump is the first president where I've ever felt that guy is not just fighting for our way of life. He's actually fighting for me. And I've never felt that from a president before where he is fighting for my right and my voice. And that's an incredible accomplishment. Yeah. And I think that's what millions of Americans feel. They feel this special connection to this president. They feel that he's not just going to Washington to be, to get lost in the Washington language of,
Starting point is 00:13:58 of just fitting in. That's not the president. The president's very unique in his nature. And he is the one that came into Washington, broke the China, you know, got tough on China, speaking of which, and really confronted the Democrats in a lot of ways when it came to all these different issues. And, you know, one of the things that always bothered the president, I remember when we were, when I was at the White House that whenever Nancy Pelosi would come over and then she would go and they would have kind of a pretty okay meeting.
Starting point is 00:14:27 and then she'd go out and bash the president or she would bash the president before going to meet the president. The president thought that was like the most unacceptable thing to do. You don't try to bash the president first and then try to ask for a meeting in the White House. That just doesn't work. That's just not even courteous. And so I think he didn't like that. I mean, it really was something that he was like, this is not, this can't be with Nancy. And it just showed the hypocrisy of these Democrats.
Starting point is 00:14:52 They were so obsessed with the impeachment process. They still went through with it. Although at the end of the day, they refused to even barely mention about Joe Biden knowing, knowing about these foreign dealings. We have the Hunter's ex-partner, Tony Babalinski, who's gone out, shown evidence, is working with the FBI, yet you have this cover-up scheme happening with big social media companies. You're talking about also the liberal media. No one wants to touch it. Yet we know that they won't even ask the tough questions to Joe Biden. Joe Biden has got a path throughout this whole campaign process where they're really focused on just trying to get rid of the president.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Mercedes, thank you so much. The website where you can see this documentary, and if you know somebody who's on a fence, if you know a woman who's like, I just don't like the way, send them to the Trump I know.com. The Trump I know.com. It chronicles the women in the White House and the women around Donald Trump. and I think women will be proud of the record that he has in the White House. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Glenn. You bet.
Starting point is 00:16:07 The Trump I know.com. That was Mercedes-Shlap. She's senior advisor of the 2020 campaign. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. So the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette came out and said he's unpresidential, he's crude and unkind, he's not a good. man. These things and much worse are commonly said about President Donald Trump. His personality totally clips his record. So we seemingly have him on the dunk tank ready for a very cold
Starting point is 00:16:39 bath. Let's play dump the lout. But is this what it's really about? Isn't the real question whether he has been taking the economy and the country in the right direction for these last four years? Can we separate the man from the record? We share embarrassment of millions of Americans who are disturbed by the president's unpresidential manners and character, his rudeness and put downs in bragging and bending the truth. None of it can be justified. The president's behavior has almost diminished his presidency
Starting point is 00:17:09 and the presidency. Most Americans want a president who make them proud. We too prefer the first class temperament and demeanor of Winston Churchill. I got to tell you, Winston Churchill was no saint. Winston Churchill was a foul mouth. He liked his drinks. He was drunk of that.
Starting point is 00:17:28 drunk almost all the time. He was no sane. I mean, he's not a great example of that. He's not a great example. He's not. Anyway, but let's look at the Trump record. Under Donald Trump, the economy, pre-COVID, boomed. No time like since the 1950s.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Look at your 401K over the last three years. Unemployment for black Americans is lower than it's ever been under any president of either party. Under Mr. Trump, our trade relations have vastly improved. Our trade deals have been rewritten. thanks to him, Middle America is on the map again, and the Appalachian an hourly worker has some hope. Has Mr. Trump done enough for these struggling fellow citizens?
Starting point is 00:18:07 No, but he is at least to recognize them. Maybe he wasn't articulate, but he recognized their pain. No one has ever asked the American people or the people in flyover country if they wanted to send their jobs abroad until Mr. Trump. He has moved the debate in both parties from free trade, totally unfettered, to managed or fair trade. He has put America first just as he said he would. He also kept his promise to appoint originalists to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Starting point is 00:18:35 His third appointment, Amy Coney Barrett, is the best of all. Blah, blah, blah. Finally, let's talk about one of the most important concerns in this region, energy. Under Mr. Trump, the United States achieved energy independence for the first time in the lifetimes of most of us. It's an incredible accomplishment that nobody ever talks about. Where would Western Pennsylvania be without the shell petrochemical complex? Donald Trump is not Churchill, to be sure, but he gets things done. He's not a unifier.
Starting point is 00:19:08 He often acts like the president of his base, not the whole country. He's done nothing to lessen our divisions and has, in fact, often deepen them. The convictions and intellect of all Americans should be respected by all Americans, especially the president. As Mr. Trump handled the pandemic perfectly, no, but no one masters the, the pandemic. Mr. Biden is too old for the job and too fragile. And there's a very good chance he will not make it through the term. Mr. Trump also too old, but seemingly robust. But in Mike Pence, we have a vice president ready to take over if need be. He's a safe pair of hands. Kamala Harris gives no evidence of being ready to be president of the United States. I think this is
Starting point is 00:19:52 amazing, but what does it actually mean to people in Pennsylvania? Let's go to Selena Zito. Hello, Selena. How are you? Hey, Glenn. How are you this morning? Very good. Now, I know you worked for the Trib, which was the more conservative paper in Pittsburgh. So this is the Post Gazette. Does this make a difference to anybody? Yeah, actually it does. You know, in fairness, editorial support from a newspaper had much more weight. Having said that in a election in a state. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:20:29 You're in a, I mean, I don't know if you're actually doing the Campbell can of soup thing. But connection sounds a little. Yeah, like it's coming over a string. So if you're, if you can get by a window or something, but go ahead. Is this better? That's much better. I was actually by a window, which is odd. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:50 All right. So, so 10, 20, 20 years ago, an editorial board endorsement of a presidential candidate, carried much more weight. We were less fractured 20 years ago, and I don't just mean politically. We also had less choices. We had less television shows. We had less newspapers. We had less Internet, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So that was a unifier, something to consider. Having said that, this editorial in support for the president, written incredibly well very vividly and didn't sort of glossed. over any of the president's frailties, but it also underscored robustly his accomplishment. But most importantly, what it did, and this is a thing people will miss, is that it gave permission. I can do it. Was unsure, or the voter who felt the peer pressure not to, or the voter who spent, you know, isn't as invested in social media and cases.
Starting point is 00:22:03 able to make that decision. It gave them permission to say, you know what, it's okay. It actually is okay. They recognized his failures. They underlined his accomplishments. The accomplishments for me is more important than his failures. See, people tend to think in particular people who don't spend any time in this state or anywhere in, well, you know, flyover country. They fail to recognize. the people don't put a team jersey on every morning, and that's how they conduct their politics. People vote because of their community. They don't vote because of an ideology. Yes, there is a portion of them that do that, but for the most part, people look around at their neighborhood, they look around at their town, they look around at their family, and they make their vote,
Starting point is 00:22:54 their choice. Tell me, Nate Silver from 538 put a caveat on his prediction in Pennsylvania, because he saw the size of the crowds in Pennsylvania this weekend. What's happening on the ground? What is your gut say, Selena? So I'm sort of insulted that he's like, oh, look, there's crowds. Maybe we should change this. We can't predict elections by data only because data only gives us what people are willing to give to the scientist. the data collectors.
Starting point is 00:23:36 There has been a contradiction between interviews and experiences and cultural cues that have put the polling data, you know, at risk. And, you know, what do I mean by cultural cues? You know, 208,000 new Republican voters. 246,000 brand new gun owners, entertainment in some products like the Steve. and the Eagles, although I don't pay attention to what the Eagles ship is, but the Steelers is down. And we're 7 and 0, at least I think.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I don't know. I haven't watched the game. So there's cultural cues that are telling us more so than crowds, not being forthcoming with pollsters. And so I think this is a very close race. And if I'm going by my gut, I say the president probably wins Pennsylvania. Yeah. And if he wins Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:24:45 he's going to win the election most likely. I mean, there are ways for him to lose if he wins Pennsylvania. But if he wins, Pennsylvania is a major, major barometer of this thing. If he pulls that off, he's probably going to win that. And I heard that North Carolina in the pre-voting or the, you know, mail-in ballots, that actually the Republicans are outpacing for the, the first time the Democrats. And if that holds, that is, that should be a big sign as well, because he needs,
Starting point is 00:25:21 the early indications will be Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, wouldn't you say? Georgia is a concern. I think Georgia, I think the state you actually should watch if you are a supporter of the president is Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. He's got to win one of those. So those are the three states outside of Pennsylvania that you've got to watch. If he's coming in at three, four, five percent in Ohio, then he's likely won Pennsylvania. We're not going to know Pennsylvania year for a while. Our ballots aren't even due in until the weekend. There are many counties that aren't even going to start counting ballots until the day after the election. So other states
Starting point is 00:26:21 I would keep an eye on is North Carolina, I'm not North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Keep an eye on what's going there. Keep an eye on Ohio. It's at five, six, seven points. these other states which are neighboring states where the culture is very similar if you will maybe see this then the night favoring the president in other Great Lake so tell me how you think those states are stacking up for him because I've heard Wisconsin Biden is like 11 points ahead in the polls now Biden's maybe one point ahead in the polls That's not what I heard on, I think, maybe CNN this morning. Well, I've been there.
Starting point is 00:27:08 All right. And I would say Wisconsin at the worst, if you're a Trump supporter, is at three percentage points. And at best in about one to two points favoring Biden. The thing we don't understand in polling, not. getting enough educated voters in their universe. Polsters are also a lot of voters that live outside of suburban and urban areas are more likely to drop the call and unwilling to just white working class. That's also black voters and Hispanic voters.
Starting point is 00:27:57 We have less of a trust in larger institutions than suburban college educated people with two, three, four, 92 degrees of due. They're like happy to pick up the phone and talk for 45 minutes with a pollster about how much they hate Trump. Selena, thank you so much for being on. You're going to be with us tomorrow night for our election coverage as well. And we'll be looking for your analysis on what is really happening. I think Pennsylvania is going to play a very important role in this election. And also I fear funny business as well with the election.
Starting point is 00:28:42 and the ballots as they count them after the results come in. But we'll see. Thank you so much, Selina. Appreciate it. God bless. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the day before the election. We're going to give you all of the polls and everything else you need.
Starting point is 00:29:09 We also want to talk to first-time Trump voters. People who are thinking about sitting it out. I can't vote for either or undecided. I'd like to know what would tip that for you one way. another and take those phone calls i am a first time trump voter didn't vote for him last time didn't vote for hillary uh but didn't vote for him last time and voted friday and boy didn't have a problem talk to somebody who said you know uh yeah i cried when i voted for him uh because it was it was hard i was a first time voter and i don't like a lot of the things he says but i think he's standing up
Starting point is 00:29:45 for what's right yep and it wasn't hard for me was it hard for you not at all you haven't voted yet stu no And you're the gay character on the show, so you're probably voting for what, Biden? I actually only vote for gay people. Only gay people. Yeah, only, only, yeah. Okay. Is there a gay person on the ticket for president? I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep searching until I find them.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Maybe the Green Party candidate? I don't know. I don't tell him it's a binary choice because it's not a binary choice. It's not a binary. It is. It is. It is. Yeah, I had no problem.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I couldn't push the button hard enough for Trump this time. I know. I actually sat there and I knew it. Pushing the button harder doesn't get him extra votes. That's not how this works. I just wanted to make sure that it was going through. I just, man, I looked at that machine the whole time and I'm like, if you screw this vote up, I mean, I checked and checked and rechecked.
Starting point is 00:30:31 I checked it, you know, at the end when you're doing the computer check. Yeah. And then I checked it again on the printout. Does it mean anything that my computer printout just said fat chance? No, I think that's fine. No, that's what it said on the end. It doesn't mean much, no. Let me go to Gillian.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Hello, Gillian. You're on the Glenn Beck program. Wow. Hi, Glenn. Hi. Hi. Hi. Nice to talk to you guys. Thank you too. I'm a suburban mom and a first-time Trump voter. I run a small business from my home and I'm totally afraid to share any political views on social media. Mm-hmm. Even privately with people that I know and love because I don't think they would love me if they knew. And so the logical thing was for you to call a national radio program. Exactly. I love to do things the wrong way. Right. Okay. So you voted for him for the first time, or are you going to vote for him? Have you done it yet?
Starting point is 00:31:31 I did it. In Utah, we do mail and ballots, and I just took it to the dot box. And how did you feel about it? I'm still nervous, but I'm hopeful for him. I pray for him, and I pray for the country. and that's the best I can do is give my vote and hope for the best. So what changed your mind? A lot of the things he's done that he said he was going to do, and I just didn't believe him. I thought he was trolling America.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah. Yeah. I really just did not think he was going to do what he said, but he did and more. And then the media, you know, I just couldn't believe that he was saying all the things that he was saying. And so I started listening to the whole... Context. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:32:24 And seeing the way that they were twisting what he said completely out of context, cutting off quotes... I think if he wins, I think if he wins, the media will have a big part in that win. Because I've talked to a lot of people who said, I've never really paid attention, but I couldn't believe what they were saying. If it was that bad, we needed to get rid of him.
Starting point is 00:32:46 and they started paying attention and they realized, oh, my gosh, we're being lied to. Jennifer in Missouri. Hello, Jennifer. Hi, Glenn. Hi. First-time Trump voter. Yes, are you there? You're a first-time Trump voter.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Are you there? Hello, yes. Can you hear us put her on hold to see if we can fix this? Let's go to Jeff in North Carolina. Hello, Jeff. Yeah, I'm doing good. Good. I'm a first-time voter.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I'm like you. I was a Ted Cruz guy, loved him. I was afraid that Trump was kind of going to be a, I got to come in and spoil the election. I kind of thought he was working under the cover for the Democrats to kind of come in and, you know, help Hillary out. But he did what he said he was going to do. He's protected the unborn. He protects our freedoms. He has done great for this country. And after four years, I think he truly.
Starting point is 00:33:48 love this country. I think you know, I think he's the only one in my lifetime with Reagan, maybe the exception, that has actually done everything that he said he was going to do for the most part, the border, etc., etc. But even
Starting point is 00:34:04 the stuff I don't like, like the trade with China, but he is done the things I thought for sure he would never do. He'd never do those things. And he did. I mean, the Jerusalem situation, is probably the one that stands out the most in that regard.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Like the fact that what he's done in the Middle East, the fact that we've seen multiple countries now come on the side of normalizing relations. Just surreal. I mean, that's crazy. That one I would have never. No way. Honestly. No way.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I mean, the Supreme Court justice is he did, you know, say he had a list of them and everything. Yeah, but look at the Bush appointments. You know, the Bush appointments sometimes were like, okay. Yeah. And I honestly didn't, I was not even convinced he was going to pick off the list. frankly. I mean, and you could argue, at least the first one, he did. And then he, you know, made a new list and picked the other two off of that one.
Starting point is 00:34:54 So. Right. But still, I mean, they're all in the pocket of approval from things like the federalist society. They're, they're very much normal to good Republican picks, which I did not expect. He just signed another international agreement on abortion that it's not an international right. And he signed on with 30 other countries. Got us out. Remember, one of the things I said he would never do is get us out of the green deals.
Starting point is 00:35:17 you know what I mean get us out of the Paris Accords and everything else he did that right away and he is standing for that we're energy independent for the first time in my lifetime that's incredible the fact that we we beat ISIS quickly almost with a yawn
Starting point is 00:35:37 that's one that's really forgotten because that was the big international story theme of 2016 they don't even have anything to talk about yeah I mean and look we've done enough work with the Nazarene Fund and everything to know that it's not completely over there. There's still trouble. But still, it's better. It's immeasurably
Starting point is 00:35:55 better than in 2016. So much so that it's not even something that got, as far as I can remember, mentioned in the debates. No, it wasn't. Not at all. Of course not. You couldn't have mentioned that because it shows success and then on top of it. You know, the next shoe to fall is Saudi Arabia. And
Starting point is 00:36:11 all of them now, all of our Middle East allies are all saying, if Biden comes in, this all falls apart because they will go back to the Palestinian well. And so all of this falls apart. I mean, that's, I mean, we are just, the, the cardinal, that letter that I read, I think we really are in a battle of good versus evil. And look at how far we have come because we have a guy who's, who doesn't care. And he's willing just to go, no, that's, I don't agree with you. I know you're all the egg-headed experts, but you've been saying this for 80 years or 100 years, and it's not
Starting point is 00:36:51 working. So I'm not doing it anymore. If he gets another term, he will clean out that deep state because he has every reason to do it. He, have you seen the Zoom calls? Can we play, listen to this Zoom call. This is from the, what is it, the Sunrise Foundation, Black Lives Matter, and shut down DC. They had a Zoom call. And on this call were people from the government. They were in positions in the government. And they were being asked, what levers do you have to be able to
Starting point is 00:37:30 shut things down? I want you to listen to what they are plotting. Here it is. So we began to put together a list of things we want to know about in the city. So where are all the police stations? Because it's good to know where the police are. We're all the key government. buildings. Where are all the media outlets? Who are the Trump boosters? So we're talking about what would it take to surround the White House and have people do stuff? We can divide it up easily with affinity groups. We have to be willing to put our bodies on the line and take on some discomfort, sacrifice, risk in order to change things. And I've been in conversations where people have never thought about having a gun or what should I have a gun. But I think we have to know,
Starting point is 00:38:13 and I'm going to talk a little bit in a few minutes about what do we do when guns are in the mix. So again, chaos is a suit by which change emerges. Let's get cooking. Again, we didn't cause the war. We didn't ask for this war. Many of us are here because we want to fight it. We want something different. What are we willing to do?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Because again, we're not dealing with people with just simple guns. We're dealing with people with AR, you know, AK-47s, multiple rounds, a lot of shootings. So, yeah, we are going to be in a crowd. crisis, but we want it to be one that we are creating. We want to make sure that we are on the offense and not the defense. We want them to be responding to us and thus not responding to them. In a situation of a coup or an insurrection or an uprising, whoever's got the guns often can win.
Starting point is 00:39:03 We should be clear. Huh. It's got to go. Trump's got to go. In order to achieve what they did, they knew they had to take over important government buildings. They knew they had to try and win over members of the police and army, and they had to protect each other.
Starting point is 00:39:21 I think we don't have a lot of experience taking over government buildings. And we might need to think about that. And I know, as I said earlier, how we may find ourselves in the streets with people with different tactics than ours. But like, there may be some people that are willing to break the windows to get into the government buildings. like if that's what we need to do then we shouldn't fight about that let's do that wow this sounds like a suburban mom you know i mean she sounds this is what these are the three groups out
Starting point is 00:39:56 of the 200 that the democrats have partnered with to create chaos we showed you all of the documentation um the 200 groups i think that came out in maybe the New York Times maybe about a week ago about how these 200 groups are putting on I've been put on standby again this is leaked a leaked zoom call between the leadership from shutdown DC the sunrise movement and BLM and they're worried about the right creating violence this is what we're up against and this is part of the deep state and part now of your Democratic or Democrat party. This is part of it now.
Starting point is 00:40:50 You are not dealing with your grandfather, your father, or even Barack Obama's Democrats. It is now a Marxist revolutionary group. No, no, no.
