GLENN: All righty. Welcome to the program.

Well, I have a lot of stuff to go over. In fact, a lot of -- a lot of good news to share with you today. But first, let me -- let me just talk to you about this weird time that we're living in.

Where we have the Amish, the orthodox, Jews.

And the hippies. All coming together.

I don't think in my lifetime, I've seen a wider, bigger tent, for a presidential candidate than this.

Have you?

The Amish, the Orthodox Jew. And the hippies.

It's like a joke. They all walk into the voting booth. The Trump coalition has created the most interesting bedfellows.

Honestly, this is the seed, to bring us back together. If this campaign can bring these people together, including RFK Jr. His running mate. Tulsi Gabbard.

Elon Musk. This is an exciting time, to live in America.

Standing in one line together, there's a linen-pant-wearing, anti-Big Pharma, RFK-loving hippie type. An orthodox rabbi. An Amish man who traveled there in a buggy with a horse!

This may be the only time in history, that I think these groups have come together before, seriously.

New poll from Nishma Research showed 93 percent of ultra orthodox voters are now voting for Trump.

Have you seen the videos that came out with the -- with the ultra orthodox going out and doing like car parade?

And, I mean, it's -- it is bizarre.

STU: I mean, to your point, you never thought you would see the Amish, and the world's greatest tech mogul, voting for the same candidate.

Right? It really is bizarre.

GLENN: It's crazy. And then you have the crunchy type, wearing a make America healthy again hat. With the, you know, oil diffuser bracelet that she had to wear. It is nuts!

STU: I saw an article the other day. I can't remember who it was featuring.

They were calling it the crunchy conservative vote. Which is not something I've ever heard before.

GLENN: I think I'm actually --

STU: Oh, you're totally there.

You are so crunchy these days. This is a man, when I first started.

Back in the day. Back in the day, when I first started. As an intern for the Glenn Beck, you know, morning show.

My main job was going directly to Dunkin' Donuts to get them some sort of egg, cheese, bacon thing.

On like a doughnut. We don't even make that, sir. You will!

Glenn demands it!

And now you're a crunchy conservative. How have the mighty fallen.

GLENN: Yeah. I would have drank that weed killer with you. I really would have. I would have.

So Trump lost Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes. How many Amish people are there in Pennsylvania?

90. 90,000.

And they are impressive. In Pennsylvania's 11th district, 2,000 Amish people just registered to vote.

And they're coming out for Trump.

If you're like, I don't know.

It's raining. I don't know if I can go stand in line. These people hitched up their horse, after feeding their horse and scooping their poop out of the stall. Hooked them up to a buggy. And then went out on the open road, with crazy drivers in the morning.

To vote! I don't know. I think we can do it. I think we can.

I think we have the technology. But maybe that's just me. Listen to this. Nick Johnson on YouTube.

He just interviewed an Amish man. Listen why they're turning out to vote.

VOICE: The Amish community is more energized. There's more people going to be out voting.

More Amish people out voting, most certainly. I can say that -- a big part of Pennsylvania and the Amish business.

Amish community is no longer farming community.

Where most of the business folk. We understand the importance of having a sound economy.

But, you know, the past four years, you know, I think most people can say, it looked like they were making more money.

And at the end of the day, they were making less.

GLENN: These guys, I mean, you know, they're paying attention. They're paying attention.

STU: It's incredible that the entire country went through what the Amish have went through. It's all hit us the same way. That's incredible.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So no matter what anybody says, this MAGA movement, is very, very diverse.

It's very diverse.

I'm hoping, that the independents, have been being picked up.

Because, I mean, that's what this thing is. It's no longer. They're just clinging to their God and their guns.

It's not that.

It really. Have you seen the Trump ads lately?

The Trump ads are all about. Instead of just saying, make America great again.

It's, we don't have to live this way.

We are a great nation. A great people. That can rebuild!

But the choices right now, are we going to rebuild? Or are we just going to turn the lights out?

That's the choice! Today is the day, that I believe we prove Thomas Jefferson right.

He said, trust the American people. Now, the left does not trust the American people. I mean, you can't even have -- you can't raise a squirrel from birth, without the government coming in, kicking down your door with guns. And beheading the squirrel.

I mean, that's nuts, gang. That's nuts.

I know. The squirrel joke.

STU: The squirrel joke.

GLENN: Okay. That's crazy.

STU: It is!

GLENN: So trust the American people. One side does not trust the American people. That's why they lie to you, all the time. Because they don't think that you can handle their truth. They don't think that you will agree, with what they believe, because they're the elite. You're the unwashed. Uneducated.

Thomas Jefferson said, the opposite.

Trust the American people. They will get it wrong from time to time.

Even at great measure, they will get it wrong.

But they will eventually figure it out, and correct the mistake. I think America is on the verge of correcting the mistake.

And I don't mean the Biden/Harris administration.

I mean the mistakes of going down this road, where all we do is pick ourself apart.

Say that we're a washed up country. Only look at the scars. Only look at the bad things.

I have no problem looking at the bad things of America. I don't!

I think it's healthy to do that. I think it's healthy to leave the scars. You don't go to a plastic surgeon. That's what they did. By tearing down the statues.

They went to a plastic surgeon, and said, remove all the scars.

No!

Leave them. That scar teaches us, and future generations, don't do that.

That will leave a mark. Well, not if you erase all the marks.

I feel very optimistic today.
